"People under oath" is a feckin' JOKE. We have 535 people on that Hill who are ALL under oath and are as dirty as it gets.
Congress isn't under oath.
That’s exactly what I was thinking when he drooled that bs out of his mouth!🤦🏼♂️
In fact, senators or congressmen are privileged to lie with impunity on the floor. The speech and debate clause guarantees them that ability.

one hour of truth, from those thousands of hours

When exposing a criminal act is a crime, you are ruled by criminals.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ It's the ego that dwarfs your divine potential. May you find the wisdom to resolve your internal conflict and be at peace with your self.
WORD!! TRUTH!!

@@bruno581 To repent of our sins to Christ is the exact opposite of having any ego so you might want to humble yourself instead of immediately going to anger over anyone suggesting out of love that you humble yourself before a Holy God and repent of your sins while you can as one of the last things to happen before the antichrist takes power is the falling away of the Church which is happening now. I pray that God blesses you greatly.✝️🙏❤️

These politicians think they are coming off as righteous and clever with their nasty comments and bullying behavior towards these journalists when in actuality they look petulant, childish, and frankly quite desperate
In this clip, Gerry Connolly reminds me of a sleazy knave of an attorney who is trying to hoodwink the jury through concentrating on and elaborating on some irrelevant point he hopes to exploit so he can slip his criminal client through a loophole. He's nails his nose so firmly to that Chrissy Teigen tree that he hopes everybody else will pay attention ONLY to that one timber, and ignore the whole expanse of forest he's standing in the middle of.
@@ATMyles Thank you. I try. (Note: Sometimes you SHOULD end a sentence in a preposition for the proper effect, you know.)
The Dems can’t compete so they have to cheat.
I don’t know who they think they’re fooling, but these “representatives of the people” must feel so unassailable that they can act however they want, and they won’t get kicked out of power by a quite enthusiastic mob. Whatever “side” you’re on, you can’t support this kind of snide, frankly repugnant arrogance from your elected officials.
Full disclosure, I would probably consider myself some kind of “leftist,” like Taibbi and Shellenberg would likely identify, but the last few years have drastically shifted the meaning of what it means to be right or left, and whatever you believe, the most important thing is to stand for true freedom - something the modern left seems have not only forgotten, but is actively trying to destroy.
Wasn’t the Chrissy Teagan thing the fact that Trump blocked her, and she threw a big fit about it, and he had to unblock her?
Matt is a hero. He is a dying breed of journalists.
he's a partisan hack that released dick pics from Hunter Biden. But if you're a typical closeted RepubliQan, dick pics may be your thing.
I agree. I think he is absolutely dead wrong about what Russia has been doing and I STILL think his work here is crucial to our future. He is a hero in the most fundamental sense of the word. He knows what is wrong in America and he fights against the biggest institutions inside it. Even when some of his premises are wrong, his crusade is right.
Sorry he's selling out -he was a hero !
@@eugenedebs9547 with a name like that I can understand why you would think that. I wouldn't call it selling out, he is moving with the times and going toe to toe with a Democratic Party that sold out a long time ago, putting the nail in the coffin when choosing to go with Hillary over Bernie. There is no space on the platform for Labor Democrats anymore and Matt is attacking the new vampire squid that is the Identity Politics/Wall St. caucus that has displaced most of what he believes in.
@@eugenedebs9547 Interested to hear how and this is not rhetorical or snarky. Interested if I missed something.
I haven't seen anything that would indicate selling out. Maybe pushing against a side that wanted to believe he was "theirs" but not necessarily a blatant selling out.
Rep. Gerry Connolly is totally insane.
He looks like he's ate a couple of Connolly's or 5
He'd be great to ask someone about Connolly's
And his 70s porn stash
Connolly is just another Democrat hack like Raskin. He's like a 5 year old with his "Trump did it too" narrative. Trump did NOT have 12 people on the inside censuring every conservative voice did he?" They even had a private intragency email system they communicated through. The government alphabet agencies granted Twitter all of their protections until everyone got a voice. Then they did what they could to destroy it.
1:45 "you people' are a waste of time, honestly....
I saw the hearing last week. The outcome was trump had Twitter remove a post by Teigen because it hurt his feelings. Everyone forgets Twitter is a privately owned business and the 1st Amendment isn't violated as they are not government.
I already respected Matt T, but the more and more I listen to him, the more I love him as a journalist.
LOL, bet money you consume some of the most shoddy "journalism" if you think Matt or Shellenberger have done good journalism here.

This has just highlighted how incredibly ignorant, inept, and uninformed the majority of our elected officials are.
Now take a moment to realize what that means about the voter base.
@@boogaloobaloo a valid point but indoctrination, lack of education and poverty keeps the majority in the dark. The public makes decisions based on what they know, if they don't have the capability and understanding they'll always vote for what they're told is best for them. You're 100% right though, it's turkeys voting for Christmas
Don't feel bad, this is a global problem! USA tends to want to come first though so it's at another level compared to the UK, Europe, Russia ... we doubt science and believe the drivel the political sector spew out for their own benefit.
I mean wasn't this already obvious in 2020-2021 when we had the exact same scenario with the CEOs of FB, Google, and Twitter. It's crazy how fast people forget.
This congressman obsessing over Trump and CHRISSY TEIGEN is silly. Does he read People magazine instead of the legislation he is supposed to be vetting?
You have to ask?
Actually, his staff reads people to him, he just scans for pictures. Mostly for pictures of Tiegan,
No. And he's NOT being silly. It just happens to be the most visible and well known example of the Trump WH weaponizing Twitter instead of Biden. In fact, Twitter testified under oath that Biden NEVER asked Twitter to change or censor their content. While Trump was the one constantly censoring Twitter and weaponizing the Gov. against we the people.
yeah, we need to see hunter biden's d*** picks.
No, he doesn’t. He’s a bad person.
@@bluebird3281 Thanks for saying what I was thinking. Old perv should get his closet raided. God knows what’s in there.
Wow…they really need to have term limits.
They do...vote them out.
Connolly looks just like Wilford Brimley and he died of old age back in 2020.
term limits are how the minority tells the majority who they can vote for.
The House, at least, was set up to be more volatile and therefore have built-in term limits via elections every 2 years.. The problem is this country has a lot of stupid people who vote, but don't know what they're voting for. Too many vote simply because of party, or personality. Bringing back civic education rather than constantly talking about the opression olymipics in school would be a great start to begin remedying this. If you don't believe there are stupid people everywhere and of every stripe, spend some time looking at jury decisions.
Join the Convention of states
Watching this, I feel like I’m witnessing the last pillar of what America is supposed to stand for, crumbling away before my eyes
This is not a left vs right issue nor a dem vs rep issue. This is an American issue. Any government in power left or right would take advantage of this power if we give it to them. I vote republican, but I don't think for a moment that there aren't republican in power that have not done the same. These people need to be rooted out on both sides. Let this committee come together on that and move forward to put a stop to this.
You are so right. But if the democrats can't even bother to do their homework to understand the issues, which they clearly haven't, I don't think it will happen. To them. It's all about protecting the "oarty"
@@cindywannamaker5299 Uh hum. Gym Jordan has been so unprepared for all his committee assignments and proper staffing has not been set up by Gym for committees he is in charge of, that even his Rep colleagues are pissed with him and the hearings going absolutely nowhere. He has so called whistle blowers that actually aren't because they have been out of the FBI for over 10 years. A whistle blower by definition has to be currently or recently hired by the agency they are telling on. so please stop projecting because Dems have actually demonstrated that these committees are another Rep sham. This committee will waste millions of dollars of American taxpayer dollars, not indict or charge absolutely anyone with anything because these hearings are a total sham, and most importantly Reps will not create any useful legislation in the next two years so exactly how are Reps doing anything useful for the country?
Thus Committee could not find its way out of a wet paper bag.
People need to start voting Libertarian, that is the real America, yet we forgot it exists
@@judithrochon7837 Thus must stand for "The Heinous Ungodly Sixth" committee, better known as The Perversion of Justice Committee that couldn't find their way out of their own Falsely Concocted wet paper bag. . . The house will be getting to the bottom of the barrels of BS the last decade of corruption created, not lowering its standards to the bottom of the barrel and backfilling it with BS like Russia Gate, J6 HOAX, Stolen documents HOAX, etc, etc, etc,. Make some popcorn and enjoy the show. . .
I am ashamed of the lack of maturity and professionalism presented by our elected representatives.
I make my kids stand in the corner when they are only 1/4 as disrespectful as we are seeing in this hearing as a whole. It's sad that these "adults" could learn A LOT from our children.
Americans have been ashamed of many of the politicians across this land for a long time. Both Right and Left. But that being said its the Left that seems to be the ones acting like children the most. Throwing tantrums, seeking revenge, trying to force their way. And when they were in total power they cared not, not a one word, that the Right spoke up for. To be honest. It appears the only thing the "children" understand is voicing back and holding their feet to the fire. Watching the Tromping of the First Amendment on full display. No wonder they claim to be for Democracy as Democracy cares not for the Construction especially since America is a Republic. Now you understand why the Left spins that word so much. Just like they do words like "Nationalism", etc...
And the news media. Truth in reporting means the WHOLE story, not just parts.
what did you expect out of corporate puppets trying to cover the asses of their thug agencies who also happen to be puppets of corporations?
@@lindawatters9632 Not just the whole story... would love to hear one told without any bias from either side. Just present the facts.
The fact that the so many in the Government think it matters what side is stomping on the first is very telling.
The Dementiakrats and RINO Mitch.
Divisive by their very nature when anyone asks: "Which party is corrupt?" Both have been bribed, blackmailed, had their lives or the lives of their loved ones threatened. . .for the purpose of causing the collapse and ruin of the last beacon of light, of hope, of freedom and liberty in the world, because the powerful and wealthy are enamored of darkness.
The key word about Gerry's questioning is "Trump white house ATTEMPTED" to suppress information. The Democrats SUCCEDED in suppressing information BECAUSE they had deals and their people on the inside doing their bidding. See the difference? A shame that they did not address this properly in the response! Because the journalistic work being done here is following the actual suppression and not any other attempt at it, and as such it is unbiased!
The same can be said for the people as well.
Democrats seem to be stomping on the first to a degree that is unmatched by any other party.
Please, God, let ALL of the American people wake up to how important this issue is. Stop letting them us divide us on issues we should all agree on.
Yeeeeeah, NAH! It's really not nearly as important as the right is making it out to be, it's not even close to being a smoking-gun, it's largely just an over-hyped nothing-burger. Taibbi and Shellenberger have shown very questionable motivations in their careers, and this is just another very warped interpretation by them. While there have been a few genuinely concerning findings, their reporting is marred by omissions of context, hyperbole, and largely discredited by instances of out right lies.
Were there mistakes made by Twitter? Absolutely, but let's not overlook what a difficult job it can be, as any professional in the field will attest to. Did officials question content being allowed to be posted? Yes, including Trump trying to censor a mean tweet about him (The Twitter Files omitted that, though, apparently Elon didn't supply those emails. Interesting.). Did Twitter censor Republicans more than Democrats? Nope, the algorithm was proven to favor and boost Republicans more than Dems, and let's be honest here, Republican ideas (Qanon, Trump, Covid, election legitimacy, Russian disinformation) have objectively outweighed the stupid shit from the Left in number and potential danger.
Did the FBI flag content for Twitter to examine? Yup, as they should, there are many bad actors in the world trying to influence the public with false information, which has been proven. And, the government reimbursed Twitter for the time it took to review flagged content. Did the FBI direct or order a private company to censor content? NOPE. To the contrary, what the files show is that the FBI would occasionally (not very often, frankly) use reporting tools to alert Twitter to accounts that potentially violated Twitter’s rules, accounts that the FBI believed could be bad actors looking to spread disinformation that could negatively effect the U.S.. When the FBI did so, it was pretty clear that it was just flagging these accounts for Twitter to review, and had no expectation that the company would or would not do anything about it. In fact, they are explicit in their email that the accounts “may potentially constitute violations of Twitter’s Terms of Service” and that Twitter can take “any action or inaction deemed appropriate within Twitter policy.” That is not a demand. There is no coercion associated with the emails, and it certainly appears that Twitter frequently rejected these flags from the US government. Twitter’s most recent transparency report lists all of the “legal demands” the company received for content removals in the US, and its compliance rate is 40.6%. In other words, it complied with well under half of any "demands" for data removal from the government. And, wouldn't you know it, the government never punished or prosecuted Twitter for not following these supposed "demands/directives".
Can we really be that upset with a private company being cautious about allowing potentially dangerous misinformation that could cause Americans to make bad misinformed decisions? It's a private company, who are entitled to censor content not fitting their core values, and there were some things they didn't feel comfortable with, which IMO is pretty understandable. Some people feel a responsibility to not be a tool to those who want to purposefully spread damaging disinformation. This is not a free-speech issue, this is a private company, not the government.
The only people making a giant deal of this, are questionable publications (to be nice).
@@niko7903 that sure was a long winded way of saying “being the arbiters of truth is an impossible task and thus should not be attempted at all”. So tired of the left crying “misinformation” when they’re proven wrong on nearly every single thing they present as fact, followed by crying “we were learning!”.
If you want to learn something, learn that any form of censorship beyond stopping calls to violence and threats is a path to tyranny. Wake the hell up already.
@@niko7903 very well put. It might also be good to examine Elon’s motivations. Musk desperately wants the revenue Trump and his followers brought to Twitter. He’s invited trump back and thrown his followers some conspiracy theory BS to spin them up and manipulate them back to the platform. This isn’t about beliefs, it’s about his wallet.
Not even close. It’s crazy how ignorant the us is now. Half the country is on the liberal side where they want rights taken away.
@@niko7903 This comment is fact check false. You are now cancelled.

Absolutely brilliant term for an (unfortunately truthful and 100% criminal and Unconstitutional) description of the American Government's absolutely CHILLING behavior.

@@Galarad Trump has been out of office for over two years, why do you let him live in your head?
There's a big difference between asking to have your own tweets removed and calling for the censorship of other people's tweets. Also, while the White house may not have asked for censorship, it's federal agency, the FBI most certainly did.
And?
I AGREE. I'M TACTLESS, I OFTEN REMOVE MY OWN COMMENTS. SOMETIMES, AFTER I SENDING THEM, I REALIZE THEY DON'T CONVEY MY MEANING, OR WORSE IMPLY EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I INTENDED? "I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE MY MIND," SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION TOO?
@@MrErickstar1 "And?'' The FBI takes its marching orders from the White House. But you knew that, right?
@@xrxs1020 welp at the time trump was in the White House. So? You ignore trumps blatant censorship, but your hair is on fire when you hear a private company has done as they please.
Oldest trick in the book. "Won't somone please rid me of this priest!"
Watching the democrats accuse Taiibi and Shellenberger of exactly what they have been so extremely guilty of is infuriating and disgusting. I hope they realize their accusations make THEM look guilty of the cover up they are trying so desperately for.
They will realize nothing. They've sold their conscience.

Watch the videos on their UA-cam channel. Being the channel of MAGA (we can now safely say that after the revelations from the Dominion lawsuit) you may expect them to broadly broadcast any revelations from said committee. Hack, they did that even when there was nothing to reveal from Durham and they did not do it when there was something to reveal from Durham (but admittedly bad for Trump).
You are the one who should be ashamed of yourself and can be proud of your congressman.
Go get em Matt!!! Defend our rights
The thing that disturbed me most about these hearings, they weren't trying to get knowledge they were trying to prove what they think they already know.
These people appearing in front of committees are there to try to solve a problem. It bothered me when the committee members monologued for like 2 minutes and when the witness said something they didnt like would say no question was pending. Then why are you wasting these witnesses time if you have no question for them?
That’s the case with most hearings honestly
Thank you for showing the American people know what is happening in Congress!!

Not to mention, while ordinary Americans are trying to focus on the current administration's scandals, Democrats and the MSM (but I repeat myself) can't stop looking directly past the CURRENT admin towards Trump, even though he has been out of office for over 2 years now. It's pathetic!
💯💯💯💯💯 I think deep down inside they really love Mr. Trump LOL
@@jennifermitchell3070 They have Trump envy! Lol
EXCELLENT CHAIRMANSHIP. I LOVED THIS.
Jim Jordan is going full Randy Marsh with the "I thought this was America" speech 😂
Why are the idiots not concerned with Trump and Republicans censoring people?
Sad he could not have acted on behalf of all the Ohio State wrestlers who were being manipulated by the team doctor. Apparently, Jordan hit the snooze button there and did so on so many other issues.
Corruption does not like being exposed. We must take note of those who want to silence. They are the true enemy.
Yeah. Jordan needs to go! And so does all the others that supported the terrorist attack against the Capitol on Jan 6th
He wants to get at the truth. Proceeds to do the opposite
That's such terrible logic.
The Twitter files is a biased hit job Musk orchestrated to justify his buying of Twitter. Musk picked the "journalist" and picked the information they had access to. It's PR forever Twitter and it worked like a charm.

thank you jim jordan

This whole whining about Trump thing has gotten so old. Every time Democrats hear something they don't like or can't defend it's just b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Trump! Bad orange man bad though!
He is bad. That's why biden won the election.

They can’t stand the fact that he is so much smarter than them.
@vortexy Nope, DEMOCRATS started it, way back in 2015.
People kept trying to intimidate the two journalists, interrupt them, put words in their mouth and Taibi and Shellenberger were calm. Then Jordan lowered the boom at the end and silenced the persecutors, left dumbfounded with their aimless cause and seared consciences.
So true and I am Canafian and disgusted in yhis sleazbag activity with Twitter.I fell sorry no on is in jail.That ye only way they can learn
As a regular, tax paying, blue collar bloke who just wants to live a happy peaceful normal life, I gotta say, these government people talk and act in a way were it makes me think I'm alot smarter than I thought.
I just accidently got on the MSNBC coverage of this same hearing...the differences were shocking...they were glossing over the two witnesses testimony .and kept repeating that black ranking members harshest words making it look like she was really winning the arguement by repeating her strongest words and showing spots of Jim Jordan that showed him in a bad light but not showing his strongest moments of setting the record straight...goes to show what creative editing can do....I was shocked because I had watched over an hour of this hearing and had a much different take on how the hearing went....just thought ya oughta know....
Watching trials then watching the spins is a huge eye opener to those who might not know the Control Deceitful In American comi ways
Jordan drives this clown car.
Sorry, wish I could watch MSDNC for more than 30 seconds.
Maybe I could take a handful of Dramamine to eleviate the nausea 🤢
I'm watching this right now. One question. Can Jim Jordan be any more obnoxious?
@@douglemay7989it could be worse! The liberals could be running the show😂
"We're elected officials and we're trying to get at the truth." It looked more like attacking journalist for doing their job.
How exactly were the Dems attacking journalists?
Connolly is an example of how broken the US political system is.
Just cause he's doing his job doesn't mean he's doing a good job.
Proprgandist* that admits to hiding data in order to skew reporting.
Attacking a journalist ... in which they ALL loved until the twitter files exposed them.
Now, they're pretending they'd never heard of Taibi.
Man i love jim jordan now, never thought i would lol
Jim Jordan is a treasure
Get help.

Ladies and gentlemen this is a prime example of misdirection.
The Biden administration has put all of their energies into misdirection. FTX, balloons, UFOs, burning tankers full of carcinogenic chemicals, Jan. 6 etc. Focus people. Biden is allowing the WEF to assume the role of the federal government while he steals as much as he can before it happens. Every time he is caught viola! another catastrophe. I wonder who is planning them now that Pelosi is gone.
@ap8riot931 it all goes back to Obama and hilary. Biden can't even complete a sentence. Obama was caught saying in an interview he'd love to be in a basement telling someone what to say. Bidens own administration disagrees with him when he goes off script (Taiwan and re election).
i love the whole " do you think the fbi should look into intiference of our elections?" uhh.. legally and constitutionally, " no, thats not what i asked" " do you think the fbi should look into intiference of our elections?" yes... "the man agrees, we did nothing wrong" like what???

Until government learns to respect the will of "we the people" they will never be constitutional.
Those days are long gone, the amount of voters for the left grow daily, the reason the border remains open, eventually north America will be no different to the countries in the south.
So you agree that the electoral college should be scrapped and the popular vote used to select the president? I agree! Let the wishes of we the people be fulfilled.
@Ah Stuttgart Did your frustrated-with-life college TA teach you that response? ;)
@@althepalno1164 That would be antithetical to the Constitution itself. You do realize that, right?

How does a delegate from the Virgin Islands get a ranking member position in the house?
Because of the play book.....they will take us down from the inside.......And dumbasses just keep letting it happen
She is just as incompetent as Harris!!
Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives (called either delegates or resident commissioner, in the case of Puerto Rico) are representatives of their territory in the House of Representatives, but they can't vote on legislation in the full House. However, they are able to take part in certain other House activities. Non-voting members may vote in a House committee they are a member in, and they can introduce legislation. There are currently 6.
Rank is assigned by how many terms served prior and the starting date of the most recent continuous service.
Where members have served the same number of terms and have the same date of service, they are arranged alphabetically by last name.
Rank is basically the same as seniority at regular job.
She sure is a mouthy "member" for not actually being a congressperson.
Love how people mispronounce Matt’s name constantly.
and purposely
@@phantomcreamerpurposely stupid
They do that in hopes of rattling the witness. Get them off balance and maybe provoking an outburst to discredit his testimony. Liars, card cheats and horse thieves like these democrats are, do it all the time!

Answer the questions
Congress has NO POWER without the "Justice" Departments, i.e. Law Enforcement behind them! This is why the abuse of Law Enforcement has reached the Presidency!!!
If he can’t say his name is he even talking to Matt
That is always how Congressional testimony goes, no matter who is in charge or who is doing the questioning. Witnesses are known to try to delay answering questions in order to run out the clock and limit the number of questions they are asked, and Congresspeople often use questioning time as opportunities to monologue. Nothing that happened in this video shows guilt or innocence, just that every single person (including the “liberal” Taibbi) has a clear agenda.
Not ppl democrats won’t let them answer their questions and the fact that Matt Taibbi knows the left and federal agencies are colluding with big tech to censor free speech and the right are the only ones trying to protect and Taibbi still is on the left is absolutely crazy.
And when he finally said something when allowed to speak he didnt make very much sense and his facts were easily debunked by goldman...and Gymmies witnesses mustve just rolled outta bed didnt skim over what the questioning was and looked completely unprepared, but i guess they think gymmie running interference for them was gonna make them look good? lol

That's all he's got. You can't argue against the rest of this stuff.
You mean Trump ordering social media to do what he wants and then Jim Jordan crying the left is controlling the media? All Jim Jordan and Trump did was cry about “woke” celebs for years. Pathetic child.

Wasn't Trump suspended off Twitter?
Yes Trump was and permanently banned from Facebook
Yes …. Good point 👍
@@davidclose4568 Only in America 🇺🇸 can a Sitting President get banned off of Social Media 😡
Twitter is a private company with their own terms of service. Patrons agree to those terms when setting up their accounts. Twitter can enforce their terms as they see fit. It is not a 1st Amend violation because only the government can do that. So far, Twitter, UA-cam, etc., have won every court case (and appeal) regarding this matter. Time to move on.
Trump made a comment telling someone to go back where they came from (an american), which was against twitter rules on acceptable speech. They changed the rules 2 weeks later to keep the far right happy. But there comes a time when stupidity can't save itself, and yes he wound up banned. This whole thing is just a performance for 'the base', like everything these MAGA extremists do.
In the end it does not matter whether it was under/during Trump or Biden, the fact that the government itself involved itself the way it had is the problem. It’s the ones that have been in it for so long, career politicians that are the problem. Blue and Red.
I have been avoiding this topic.
