well it's no secret that big tech companies like meta have been censoring critical information to its users for years and this week we finally heard from meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitting it he revealed that Facebook bowed to pressure coming from the Biden Harris Administration in a letter to the house of Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan Mark Zuckerberg said that the White House repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain covid-19 content including humor and attire and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree he said that this pressure was wrong and says that he regrets that we were not more outspoken about it at the time he said that we made some choices that with the benefit of hindsight and new information we wouldn't make today well who on Earth believes that but the pressure he speaks about sounds a lot like bullying which adds up when you look at Kamala Harris's track record of Staff who leave as soon as they can now it's not just Co content that Facebook was ordered to censor the social media company censored a massive Story the New York Post broke about criminal evidence that was found on Hunter Biden's laptop now four years later Mark Zuckerberg admits that Facebook should not have done that I'm sorry Mark Zuckerberg but the damage has been done there are still people who associate that story with Russian disinformation and there's not a bone in my body that trusts him anymore and I know I'm not alone in saying that just look at the reaction on X dozens of people are labeling him a snake a fraud there are even calls for him to be put behind bars joining me in the studio is boss lady CEO and founder of small business women Australia Amanda Rose lovely to speak with you what do you make of what Mark Zuckerberg had to say I think he's a coward I think to say oh sorry I was pressured into doing this pressured into what into literally um encouraging and being a part actually facilitating hate on social media misinformation about people's lives and livelihoods and remember this is during Co this is when people were making a choice whether they should inject themselves with something and they so they wanted to do their research and so they were genuinely looking for that and if anyone said anything outside of what was approved by the government or by the globalists it was like no we got to shut it down that's unacceptable and it's also a really good sign for the everyday person to stop believing what you see online you know just because it's you know the majority online says one thing doesn't mean other things aren't being blocked right so it's but he should be punished for this absolutely but I think he's freaking out I think he thinks Trump's going to get in and so if he does and he realizes that you were a big part of the misinformation and the the hate the divisiveness that was created during Co was horrific and that's why if anything if anything like that happen happens again we need to shut these places down and not use them yeah I think what he did really added to the social divide that we all saw we all experienced so is that your assessment of the timing of this we're getting closer to the to the election so this is why we've all all of a sudden we're seeing this letter yeah people are starting to panic oh no I think Trump might win so let's be on the good side here so I don't get arrested or it is too late and to say I I was pressured you have a responsibility you handpick exactly and it's not pressure I'd like to know if there's a always say follow the money I'd like to see if there's a connection to money in some capacity there whether it's through grants or tax breaks or so forth because you don't just say to the government okay I'll do what you say because I feel pressured there's usually a financial incentive with that but you have a massive responsibility but yes he's freaking out because I think Trump would well not just Trump actually maybe RFK because he was trying to push that information that got he very much and now we look back and think actually he was right about a lot of it we're going to talk about RFK Jr in just a moment but I want to get your thoughts on pavl durov I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing his name correctly but bear with me we all know who he is he's the founder of the messaging app telegram he's been arrested and charged in France as authorities make further investigations into alleged criminal activity on the encrypted messaging app including child abuse material and drug trafficking Amanda some are welcoming this others say that this is an attack on free speech and this is an overreach of power what are your thoughts I'd say it's an attack on the fact it's the only platform that you could actually communicate that misinformation we just talked about that Facebook was blocking telegram was sharing it telegram allows people to communicate all different types of information research thoughts opinions kind of what it's supposed to be like right freedom of speech but also factual information and what's interesting is that they can say to someone there's child trafficking you know happening on this really so they can't get rid of porn and child porn off the internet they can't get rid of that with you know Facebook and they've been responsible for sharing images Google could be responsible all these other places are responsible but they're targeting the one platform that has been the biggest supporter of free speech through the last say five years Fair Point look it's been around 6 weeks since Donald Trump was shot in the face and face rather almost killed on live television and what have we learned today a bit about the gunman's search history as well as a photograph of a backpack and some information that doesn't really tell us anything about what the heck actually happened that day and how on Earth the secret service failed so badly to keep Donald Trump safe now it's interesting Donald Trump has praised the people who kept him safe that day but he was a little bit more critical during this interview with Dr Phil you know when this happened people would ask whose fault is it I think to a certain extent it's Biden's fault and Harris's fault and I'm the opponent look they were weaponizing government against me they brought in the whole doj to try and get me they weren't too interested in my health and safety they were making it very difficult to have proper Staffing in terms of secret service amander is he right what do you make of what you yet to say I think he's right and the thing is they always say America's the leaders of the free world and you know it's a safe country and then something like that happens and then there's this confusion over how and who and what but yes it is the responsibility Administration but it is such a setup and I have what worries me is so many things are happening in plain sight right now right on live TV and then people would just say oh no it was an accident oh no it was that person over there and just walk away we as a people need to push harder and question more I think we've been desensitized I think we've been just given especially during Co when we tried to push and ask question people said just don't bother you paid it on I think we need to bring that back we need to push harder and say well no that's an unacceptable response from the government we want to know more it can't be what it looks like there needs to be more there yeah I completely agree with you I it's just wild to me that he was almost killed six weeks ago and so many people just want to forget that it ever happened we can just focus on Tik toks for Camala Harris look massive news over the weekend as we witnessed a Kennedy endorsed Donald Trump RFK JR says that he wants wants to make America healthy again after he dropped out of the race and of course lost his secret service protection but he says that he and Donald Trump will investigate corruption in Regulatory Agencies while addressing the rise in chronic diseases in the United States what do you make of his move Look I love it but what he's up against are the pharmaceutical companies which a majority which uh are just you know pushing drugs to make money right and the government's usually involved in that saying yes yes yes we'll we'll support that or we'll make sure that that legislation gets through so he's going to be fighting a lot of people within government a lot of large companies that have pretty much gotten away with a lot so he's taken them to court I think people have forgotten that RFK has a reputation of taking pharmaceutical companies and other big corporations who ruin the environment to court and one so if he's coming in that's who he'll Target and they're the ones that usually don't like being targeted and can react in a very vicious way so I'm all for it and I think it's great maybe this is the turning point that everyone's prayed for that we might have a focus back on healthy lifestyle healthy eating healthy mental health you know bring back hope um bring back the small business bring back the family unit um to work together as a community that would be refreshing well the leftwing media has been in meltdown over RFK Junior's endorsement of Donald Trump and they haven't even tried to hide it just take a look at CNN cutting off its live coverage of RFK Jr as soon as he mentioned that Camala Harris hasn't done an interview they would be astonished to learn of a Democratic party Presidential nominee who like vice president Harris has not appeared in a single interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days we've been listening to independent candidate Robert F Kennedy junor from Phoenix outlining what uh led him to his quick sodic quest for the White House OH interesting timing and here is CNN's commentary of the historic event this was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and trying to get any logic out of that is good luck with that um because it's one you can't understand what he says two if you can you can understand what he says and reminded of a line of in Mel Brooks's Blazing Saddles when somebody gets up and gives a indecipherable speech he says who can argue with that that's authentic Frontier gibberish and that's exactly what that is Amanda are you surprised not surprised but you know what's really annoying these are grown men right willing to follow a really foolish script to keep their job to push something that's just I mean the language is actually just so ridiculous are they threatened by rfk's truth or his masculinity I don't know what it is but grow up and speak the truth or say nothing at all yeah I think they're threatened by the truth you just listen to what RFK Jun had to say it was such a power powerful speech simple the truth is always so simple yet it scares so many people maybe it it should be an opportunity for people to say okay whether I like or dislike the guy he yeah listen and it's okay to change what you originally thought because you were potentially brainwashed by the propaganda that Facebook just admitted that they allowed yeah absolutely I think when you see someone who's been a Democrat who comes from one of uh the most famous political Democratic family in the United States is actually raising the alarm and saying why he needs to endorse Donald Trump maybe you should actually listen to what he has to say exactly and just because Endor Donald Trump doesn't mean he has to like everything about him absolutely it's about I like that he's going to help bring back the economy and because a lot of the Democrats are rich and Elite they have no idea what it means to not be able to put food on the table so we really shouldn't be listening to anything they say Amanda Rory thank you so much for joining us on Power Hour
