We have acting cpb commissioner mark morgan with us tonight in a fox business exclusive. Thanks for joining us. Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth welcome to the show. Youre watching the fox business network. Well sparks were flying on capitol hill today as democrats and republicans fought over police reform. Republicans say they have got the right plan. Democrats say they dont like it. South carolina senator Lindsey Graham firing back saying democrats, you had eight years to start working on this. You did nothing. Were doing it under getting a little tired being lectured to by my democratic colleagues all this is trumps fault. You had eight years under president obama, justice and policing ability, none of it was taken up virtually. So lets knock that off. Youre making no points with me. Elizabeth lets get to Hillary Vaughn in washington with the latest. Hillary . Reporter republicans and democrats in congress at least both agree the top priority for the legislature right now should be police reform. The house marking up their bill today that would make police use of force Standards National law. Making chokeholds and no knockwarrants illegal but the senate has a different approach they say respects states rights. Senator tim scotts rolling out gop proposal piggybacking off the president s executive order yesterday. The senate bill tries to strike a balance with strongarming state and local governments and bringing reforms nationwide. The bill allows them to make changes but the democratic lawmakers that the bill is full of halfmeasures that dont legally require Police Departments to actually make these reforms. Senator Kamala Harris says the gop bill does not save any lives because it does not outright ban chokeholds or noknock warrants. Number two democrat in the Senate Dick Durbin accusing africanamerican senator tim scott police bill being a token approach. Kind of like serving up a glass of cherry koolaid without any sugar in it. Baby steps when this is a problem that is full grown. Lets not do something that is a token, halfhearted approach. Reporter that accusation did not sit well with senator scott called durbin as use of the word token and race baiting. Considered a token piece of legislation because im africanamerican, only one on our side of the aisle. I can tell you this date to have those comments again hurts the soul. There is about 80 overlap between what democrats propose an and what senator scotts bill proposes. That is a lot of Common Ground. Reporter senator durbins office said durbin apologized to senator scott for his word choice but when it comes to Common Ground between what is in the house bill, and what is in the senate bill time is of the essence because leader mcconnell says he wants this bill to hit the floor next week. They want to get it passed before the 4th of july recess. Liz . Elizabeth hillary, thank you for your reporting. To another big story today, the Justice Department backing legislation chipping aat federal protection from lawsuits that media a giants and facebook and google enjoy about they censor political speech they dont agree with including other reasons as well. We have Top Republicans including senator ted cruz and Marsha Blackburn raising fire engine red alarms that americans are not getting balanced information an balanced news reporting on the internet because Internet Companies like facebook, google and twitter are censoring conservatives. We have congressman devin nunes, Ranking Member on the house intelligence committee. Good to see you again, congressman. What do you think about this story about google . This is the story of the last three years, ever skins the 2016 election the democrats and left learned not enough to have 90 of the media on your side. You also have to run it through a funnel and that funnel is facebook, google and twitter. They have to control that it started right after 2016 election. They said, oh it is fake news is the reason why trump won. So there is not a more important issue than this issue. The American People are being censored. Conservatives are being censored. The information that is flowing to the American People is being censored. It is just the bottom line. The most important issue that we have headed to the next election . I think it is very difficult for republicans to win if this censoring continues. Elizabeth yeah, congressman, here is what happened. Seems derogatory reader comments, just reader comments, showing up on the conservative website, the media outlet, the federalist, negative comments about looting and rioting were enough for google to threaten the federalist it would get kicked off googles advertising network. Google is the worlds biggest purveyor and publisher of news. It is a advertising behemoth. That is the story t has massive power. It can bankrupt anyone that disagrees with by blocking them including the little guys. Your take . Youre exactly right about demonetizing, bankrupting people, going back to what you said, i think it is important for the awe yearns to know, it was the comments. It was not even the story that was written own the federalist website it, was the comments section. You know as well as i do, if you ever, in anybody that is out there, Comment Section on any website anywhere, most of the time you cant even track those people. So, and i promise you this. If i was to copy all of the supposed comments that were on the federalist web site and i just copied them, went over and put them on the washington post, or cnn, or the New York Times, do you think there is any possibility, remote possibility that google would have done the same thing to those Mainstream Media outlets . Hell no, they wouldnt have. Elizabeth yeah, thats right. Theyre virtually the same reader comments. Nbc is in on the story too. Nbc basically worked on a story they made errors in it. Google saying effectively nbc got it wrong in its coverage here. That google never blocked the federalist as nbc initially reported. Critics say nbc here particularly egregious, congressman, because nbc reporter brought the federalist and the other sight, zerohedge to googles attention, citing complaints from overseas leftwing watchdog groups. I want you to take a listen to Chris Bedford of the federalist last night on this. Lets take a listen. I can tell you for certain there has been a massive reaction on behalf of the federalist now allies on capitol hill, allies in the media, people saying this is flatout wrong to try to censor us. It is very hamfisted attempt by nbc news to try and censor. It will be sorted out pretty quickly. Elizabeth watch the federalist cofounder sean davis with Tucker Carlson last night. Lets listen to him. Here we have a foreign unit at nbc, with orwellian name the nbc news verification unit. Irony there is enough to make you laugh, seeking with another leftwing Foreign Group to deplatform an American Media organization. We have a big audience. We have a lot of influence. We were able to stop this now most people, 99. 99 of people who get canceled or deplatformed by these marxist cry boys, dont have any recourse. That what is happening to them is the real crime. Elizabeth congressman, so an nbc reporter is getting criticized, she applauded on her twitter account on her collaboration with two overseas groups in europe that helped nbc in its reporting get google to go after the conservative sites. Your take on nbc here . Well look, nbc is part of the 90 that are extreme left and the reporters are even worse than the companies and the management. So the that they would work with all the socalled nonprofit independent groups, there is no such thing out there anymore. There is no such thing as a truly independent, nonprofit, that is not engaging in politics. A true fact checker so to speak. Fact checker is only in ones mind and thats why these Internet Companies were given these special privileges so that theyre not treated like you, liz, like fox business. Theyre treated differently because this was to create the superhighway so that everybody could communicate and there could be an open square, so that companies could be developed and they could use that internet access. Thats why these companies were given this, this exclusive capability under the law so they couldnt be prosecuted. But the reality is, is, i mean we can change the law but i actually dont believe these companies, i think google already is not even, they shouldnt even be covered under this. I think technically theyre not and i think if people begin to bring lawsuits against them, like i am against twitter, i think you will find that judges ultimately will find that this is not going, this is not going to stand. Elizabeth and what an irony that google is moving to censor the federalist for third party reader comments on the federalist website as google still wants that federal Government Protection from lawsuits for Third Party Content on its website. Isnt there common sense here . Final question, google doesnt need to go scorched earth and censor. It could say you know what . Well not show ads on reader comments on everybodys website, including washington post, cnn, everybody, instead of censoring to your point . Look im quite sure as i said the legal arguments are sound. It is just a matter of bringing the right cases in court. Im sure the federalist would have a case in court if google would follow through. Which sounds like they backed off. Just on the face of it flies in the face of common sense that you can go out and edit what people are commenting on. That is the whole point, that he have this the law, theyre supposed to allow that. That is why they have the protection. Elizabeth yeah. Congressman nunes, always great to have your insights on the show. Come back soon. Great to see you again. Thank you. Elizabeth another hot fight, former whitewater independent counsel robert ray on the news about john boltons book saying the house should have investigated President Trump for impeachable events that go beyond ukraine. Is this book now landing like a thud, like a dud in d. C. , now we have House Democrats Eric Swalwell and Vanya Shivashankar saying, john bolton, why didnt you bring this up during impeachment. Why did you stay silent . Its a hot one. As a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. At liberty butchumal cut. Liberty biberty cut. Well dub it.

Beat heartburn fast tums chewy bites yeah yyeah yeah hey, hey. Elizabeth more on the news we brought you last night. Former National Security advisor john boltons new book alleges the president wanted to block criminal investigations of turkey and china order to curry favor from their leaders and that even supported concentration camps in china. Former whitewater independent counsel and member of the trump impeachment defense team, robert ray. Good to see you. What is your reaction to this . Peter baker has a piece in New York Times tomorrow that john bolton is complicated and controversial figure, which i guess is the understatement of the year. He is apparently now teed off both sides. I agree with your leadin segment this book, basically just drops as a dud after all is said and done. It is a kissandtell book. He is trying to remain relevant. He has policy disagreements with the president and under the guise of you know, arguing that there is more out there with regard to impeachment although he never says there are any additional impeachable offenses he is essentially you know, suggesting that, there were improper things being done but really what he is saying he just disagreed with the president s Foreign Policy. I think it is going to be ultimately seen as such. So i suspect that it is going to pass after not too much longer to be much ado about nothing. Elizabeth yeah, you know, House Democrat adam schiff and Eric Swalwell talking about john bolton, why were you awol during impeachment . Why did you stay silent not bringing up allegations youre bringing now . For example, that the president wanted to aid, help, financial ad to ukraine frozen in order to get ukraine to play ball in order to get them to investigate joe biden and his son . What is your take here. Theyre not propping him up if you listen carefully. Has no friends over there as far as the administration is concerned Justice Department through the Civil Division sued him for breach of contract and other things. I dont know they will prevent the publication of the book. Looks like the book is in hands of among others like the New York Times and scheduled to be released on tuesday. They may put a contractual claim around any profits derived from the books. He has no friends any place. He managed to antagonize both sides, in washington which generally means this is going to pass without a whole lot of notice. Elizabeth so it could force him to forefit his advance and royalties . I think it is Something Like the lawsuit would basically cost him millions. It would require him to create a Constructive Trust for any of the profits from it. So you know right. Elizabeth if he alienates republicans, alienates democrats, doesnt make money off it, it could end up like that, right . Were not sure but that is what the indications seem to suggest. You know, his lawyer has been out there with oped pieces. Now boltons got an oped piece for the wall street journal. I mean theyre trying really hard to get all of this out there but you know, as much as the democrats wanted to make this a book about you know, john bolton has the keys to the kingdom regarding impeachable offenses i submit to you, liz, when you look at this carefully and you read the people that are not necessarily friendly to the administration characterize the book, again it is largely what kissandtell books are about. He just fundamentally disagrees with the president s Foreign Policy in certain areas and that is his real beef. Elizabeth all right. Robert ray, always great to have you on, sir. Come back soon. Thanks very much, liz. Take care. Elizabeth sure. You too. Next up, republican strategist Ford Oconnell on the news about a curious crowd now gathering together to block, to stop the president s rallies. It includes Stormy Daniels lawyer and the far left. Ford oconnell will address their silence on things like the lack of social distancing during the rioting and looting. That story next.
