Mccarthy talks about protections for social Media Companies and legislation. His remarks after facebook and twitter blocked users from sharing a New York Post story related to hunter biden. [inaudible] youre all out working . Well, thanks for coming. With less than three weeks to go until the election, Many Americans are eager to learn about the candidates, so its imperative that our information channels are open and americans can access stories by the press and from their own social circles. Congress believed in this power of information so much they created special Liability Protection for information platforms such as Technology Companies like facebook, twitter, and google, it is called section 230. And i had believed in the principles outlined in the law, but its clear that section 230 in its current form is no longer working. Just last week Justice Clarence thomas said the courts have read sweeping new protections in 230 that Congress Never put into statute. It is time to scrap the law and start over. Yesterday the New York Post, one of the countrys largest newspapers, published a piece on hunter biden and his work on the board of Ukrainian Energy company burisma, which he had no qualifications for. It is an important story as most americans would be appalled by the vicepresident s son using his fathers position to earn an enormous contract from foreign companies. But the response from many in the media and twitter and facebook bring to light an even bigger concern. The Biggest Social Networks are selective l lly censoring information, and if you did your account was lock. Yesterday they posted on the website, a government website, and this morning, twitter has censored it. Did big tech when they posted about the debunked dosier. When they posted about president trumps taxes which were of course relayed illegally. And did they censor the lead are of iran . The answer to questions, no. If social media plan to use protections provided by congress for some americans, but not for others, we should remove those special standards altogether. Now, Ranking Member jim jordan and the House Judiciary Committee have legislation that should be voted on to restore Free Expression in americas town squares. Republicans are clear on what we need to do to serve the American Public. Republicans are part of our commitment to america and how we would restore our way of life. Rebuild the economy and renew the american dream. Chief among our goals, keeping Small Businesses open and employees on payroll. I know what its like to have a dream, i know what its like to have a dream to have a Small Business. In fact, we have been relentless in our push to get Speaker Pelosi to provide needed relief for americans. She continues to turn her back and focus on politics, not people. 81 days ago when Speaker Pelosi was asked if the house will stay in session until a deal is negotiated, she answered, we cant go home without it. A few days later she sent us home for the august recess with no deal. Republicans have attempted to bring up Small Business committee Ranking MemberSteve Chabots legislation to reopen paycheck protection, to support Small Businesses and their employees. But democrats have blocked any ppp money Going Forward 39 times. Thats 39 times we brought it to the floor that they have voted no on it. Speaker pelosi does not want to lift a finger to help the American People because she believed in her own words, let me quote, that nothing is better than something and negotiations are all about leverage. It is clear she has offered resistance instead of relief. And she has wasted precious time this year eating ice cream in front of a refrigerator, blaming a salon owner for her special treatment and now insulting wolf blitzer. These are not actions of a functioning democratic majority. With that ill take any questions. Yes, sir. The president keeps talking about that he would like to see congress go big or go home on a covid relief bill and the administration offered around 1. 8 trillion and talked about higher than that. Would House Republicans support 1. 8 trillion or bigger deal if that is reached between the speaker and the white house . You know, its most interesting here, the president 1. 8 is a very big deal, a large thats a big deal. But unfortunately, nancy pelosi still makes us go home instead of getting something done. I think the American People would want anything to have to go forward. Republicans have time and again pushed forward ideas forward. Unfortunately, the speaker controls the house. So the answer to your question, is doesnt matter what our answer would be because the speaker has denied anything from moving, even her own encourage the members to vote for 1. 8 i would encourage people to read bill before voting for anything. Its interesting her own members, the democrats have asked her to take this deal. She is the only hurdle, roadblock for us being able to vote on something. We have a discharge petition that woo remove ppp money, 137 billion. She has forced her members not to sign. Theres one stumbling block to to any deal getting through, it doesnt matter the size. The speaker of the house is the only one thats denying it. Do you have any like whats your do you believe there will be a covid relief deal . We keep asking this question will there be a covid relief deal before the election . As long as Speaker Pelosi is involved, i think the answer is no. Every time weve held covid relief, shes held it up and now shes strangling the American People ar watched her arguing with wolf blitzer because he wanted to read quotes from her own members asking her to take the deal. I think she cares more about politics than she cares about the American Public. Its obvious with her actions. Remember why she said she doesnt want to go forward. She is fearful that the American Public would get a check, fearful that the president would get some credit instead of helping the American People in this time of need. Yes. I just have a quick question regarding covid19. Well take you live now to a discussion from the Brookings Institution on intelligence community
