Zuckerberg's admission is a 'victory' for free speech: Lee

>> WELL, FIRST 567GD FOREMOST. THIS IS A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE FAMILIES. FOR MR. ZUCKERBERG TO COME OUT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INFORMATION WAS SUPPRESSED ABOUT COVID, EVERYTHING WHEN WE SAW PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PEOPLE LIKE GOVERNOR DESANTIS TRYING TO SHARE INFORMATION WITH THE PUBLIC, ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF THERAPEUTICS, ABOUT LOCKDOWNS AND WHETHER THEY WERE WORKING. AT THE TIME THEY WERE VILIFIED AND INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD DECISIONS PROSECUTE SUPPRESSED. SO SEE ZUCKERBERG TALKING ABOUT THIS IS IMPORTANT. SHOWS THE LENGTHS THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WENT TO TRY TO SHUT THIS INFORMATION DOWN. AND THE OTHER THING THAT HE MENTIONS IN THIS LETTER THAT IS REALLY CRITICAL IS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPPING THE STORY WAS SUPPRESSED. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME IN JUDICIARY WORKING ON AND TRYING TO BRING TO LIGHT IS THAT WE HAVE 51 INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS BASICALLY AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TRY TO CAST THIS AS RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION WHEN IT WASN'T. THAT INFORMATION WAS SUPPRESSED IN THE LEAD UP TO THE ELECTION. SO, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SHOW, YOU KNOW THOUGH, REST THE REAL FACTS OF WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN AND THE LENGTHS TO WHICH THIS ADMINISTRATION WAS GOING TO TRY TO HOLD BACK THIS INFORMATION FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> Brian: REMEMBER, THE ATLANTA WAS OUT THERE. PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT. SO, SOMEHOW, THE CHALLENGING PARTY HAD MORE SWAY WITH THE FBI AND OTHER AGENCIES THAN THE ONE IN POWER WHICH IS VICIOUS. MEANWHILE, THE WHITE HOUSE JUST GIVING US THIS STATEMENT ON THIS. WHEN CONFRONTED WITH A DEADLY PANDEMIC, THIS ADMINISTRATION ENCOURAGED RESPONSIBLE ACTIONS TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY, AND OUR POSITION HAS BEEN CLEAR AND CONSISTENT. WE BELIEVE TECH COMPANIES AND OUR PRIVATE ACTORS SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THEIR EFFECTS, THEIR ACTIONS HAVE ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHILE MAKING INDEPENDENT CHOICES ABOUT THE INFORMATION THEY PRESENT. SO, IF YOU BRING UP SOMETHING LIKE IVERMECTIN THAT'S BEING IRRESPONSIBLE IN WHOSE EYES? IS IN SOME OFFICIALS EYES? IN OTHER PEOPLE'S EYES IT DIDN'T. THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION, IF YOU WENT AGAINST WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS RIGHT, THEN YOU'RE WRONG. UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THAT'S A BAD PRECEDENT. >> IT ABSOLUTELY IS, THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS THAT IT ALLOWS TO US EXPRESS CONTRARY IDEAS. >> Brian: SURE. >> TO BRING THOSE OUT IN THE PUBLIC SWEAR SCARE AND LET THE REPUBLIC GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT IS CORRECT INFORMATION. WHAT'S WORSE IS HISTORY TELLS THE STORY. WE NOW KNOW WHAT THE DATA SHOWS US ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE WERE EFFECTIVE THERAPEUTICS, THE FACT THAT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO BE PRIORITIZING SENIOR AND THE VULNERABLE. SO, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY WAS IT WRONG FOR THEM TO TRY TO SUPPRESS OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS, THE ACTUAL DATA THAT WE NOW HAVE RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC DEMONSTRATES THAT THESE POSITIONS THEY WERE SUPPRESSING THAT MANY OF THEM WERE ACTUALLY CORRECT. AND THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM HAVING THEM OUT THERE AND GETTING THE OPTION TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES. >> Brian: NOW WE KNOW A LOT OF THE SO-CALLED FACT WERE WRONG. YESTERDAY YOU WENT OVER TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA. YOU ARE A MEMBER EVER THE TASK FORCE INVESTIGATING THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, THE SITE OF THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON TRUMP. YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED EVERYTHING HAVE YOU REQUESTED. THE WHOLE COMMITTEE HASN'T. REQUESTED DOCUMENTS FROM DHS, THE FBI AND OTHERS. WHAT WAS YOUR TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT YOU SAW PHYSICALLY THERE AND FROM WHAT YOU EXPECTED TO SEE? >> ONE OF THE REALLY KEY THINGS ABOUT GOING TO THE SITE AND SEEING IT IS THAT YOU GET THE SENSE OF EXACTLY HOW SMALL IT IS. THIS IS NOT A LARGE AREA. IT'S VERY RURAL. EVEN AS A LAYPERSON IT'S CLEAR WHAT THE BUILDINGS ARE. WHAT'S IN THE AREA AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE SECURED. SO, IT REALLY UNDERSCORES JUST HOW INEXPLICABLE THIS CATASTROPHIC SECURITY FAILURE WAS. THAT THIS WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. THE OTHER THING THAT IS CLEAR IS THAT THERE WERE SERIOUS COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION PROBLEMS. STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE A BIG PART OF SECURING A SITE LIKE THIS. OF SECURING A RALLY. IT IS EVIDENT FROM THE INVESTIGATION THAT WE HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING ALREADY THAT THERE WAS A LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND A LACK OF COORDINATION. SO, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO BE SURE WE DO IS UNDERSTAND HOW THAT FELL APART. BECAUSE THAT'S A KEY ELEMENT TO ENSURING THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR FUTURE RALLIES WHILE THESE PROTECTS ARE STILL OUT ON THE TRAIL. >> Brian: OVERTIME WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE ASSASSIN. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO QUICKLY CREMATE THE BODY. WE DON'T KNOW HOW HE MADE THE IEDs. THEY SAY INTELLIGENCE EXPERTS SAY THEY STILL HAVEN'T UNENCRYPTED HIS TECH DEVICES. >> WELL, AND THAT IS THE KEY INFORMATION THAT IS MISSING. THERE THAT WE'RE STILL NEEDING TO DEVELOP FROM THE FBI FROM, SECRET SERVICE IS WHO WAS THIS KID? WHAT WAS HIS MOTIVATION? DID HE WORK ALONE? DID HE WORK WITH SOMEONE ELSE? THAT'S WHAT WE ARE STILL MISSING AS WE ARE TRYING TO PULL INFORMATION FROM THAT PHONE. SO IN THE COMING WEEKS THAT, WILL BE ONE OF THE KEY FOCUSES OF THE COMMITTEE. >> Brian: I WISH PEOPLE
