david is with us. the highlight of the president s announcement, three objects shot down since friday not tied to any enemy nations but private companies, bringing up the possibility that the administration may have over reacted after the chinese spy balloon in february. i gave the order to take down these three objects due to commercial air traffic and because we could not rule out the surveillance risk of sensitive facilities. white house officials and all the way to the president insist there will be changes in the works. whatever you want to call them, he said he ll share with congress the policy parameters when they re done but that ll remain classified so we don t give a quote, road map to our enemies to evade our defenses going forward. i expect to be speaking with president xi and i hope we ll get to the bottom of them. i make no apologies for taking down that balloon. you can see right here this exchange when a reporter asked him about chinese business
show collusion with big tech and demo democrats. he s trying to get answers the easy way since december. now, he sends subpoena letters to five major companies, amazon, facebook, and meta and microsoft. he wants all documents to see if they moderated or deleted or reduced circulation of republican speech or other speech that didn t go along with the administration s policies. we believe all of these big tech companies were working with big government to suppress free speech and suppress american rights to communicate and communicating in platforms. elon musk is absent from this list, jordan says that s because the twitter files were not transparent. musk says he already helped correct the thumb on the scale. both microsoft and meta told fox news they are complying and producing
just out now from the chairman of the january 6th select committee. yeah, hallie, this is a new batch of subpoenas, and there s one key sentence in the release the select committee says that it really tells why these people are targeted. it says we believe the individuals and organizations we subpoenaed today have relevant information about how violence erupted at the capitol and the preparation leading up to this violent attack. now, the individual letters, there were five letters sent out to the people that you see on the screen and the people you just mentioned, hallie, and there are instances of these people or the people affiliated with these organizations as well who espoused violence leading up to january 6th saying that violence has to if they steal the election then the only thing to do is to become violent. and one other interesting thing in these subpoena letters is that they are saying that through they learned of this
allowed a violent wing of its own establishment to enter into the temple and to become part of the political environment. that is very dangerous. and the fact that only two republicans can be counted on right now to enforce the investigative work of the january 6th committee says volumes about the state of the republican party and the republican caucus in the house. tragically. it is something that worries me every day in terms of what other compromises are you willing to make that effectively erode democracy and faith in democracy in america. let me bring you back in, michael steele. this is the other side of the coin, right? it is clear. the subpoena letters and the footnotes read like the final product of the mueller report with the footnotes and annotations. they have laid over donald trump s twitter feed with the
to the president. and, as the committee says, knew what he was doing on january 6th. dan scavino had eyes on him, constant contact with mark meadows. and when you read these subpoena letters, the accompanying leathers, this committee already knows an awful lot about what these people were up to on january six than before. yes. yes, lawrence. literally no one in the white house, in some ways, it is closer to donald trump then dan scavino. you think about the twitter feed as being the purest expression of trump s messaging and his politics and his psyche. dan scavino is the only person in the white house who trump would tossed to tweet for him. dance convenient was his voice, his boss well, so to speak. his twitter boss as well. no one closer then mark meadows
