Video: Rand Paul Explains To Josh Hawley Why His Tik Tok Ban Bill Is Unconstitutional
“I will defend the Bill of Rights against all comers, even if, need be, from members of my own party”

Republican Senators clashed on floor Wednesday over a bill proposing a ban on the Chinese social media app Tik Tok, with Rand Paul schooling Josh Hawley on exactly why the legislation won’t fly.
Hawley’s legislation would prohibit TikTok from operating in the U.S. and ban all commercial activity with TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.
The topic has become one of contention, being connected with enhanced efforts on China’s part to carry out surveillance.
Paul immediately expressed opposition, however, noting “There are two main reasons why we might not want to do this. The one would be the First Amendment to the Constitution. Speech is protected whether you like it or not. The second reason would be that the Constitution actually prohibits bills of attainder.”
Bills of attainder allow the government to punish individuals or groups without a trial.
“This fails on two egregious points, pretty obvious points. I think we ought to think about that,” Paul added.
Paul further stated “I think we should be aware of those who peddle fear. I think we should be aware of those who use fear to coax Americans to relinquish our liberties.”
“Every accusation of data-gathering that’s been attributed to TikTok could also be attributed to domestic Big Tech companies,” he pointed out.
Hawley responded to Paul, asserting “I have never before heard on this floor a defense of the right to spy.”
“I didn’t realize that the First Amendment contained a right to espionage. The senator from Kentucky mentions the Bill of Rights. I must have missed the right of the Chinese government to spy on Americans in our Bill of Rights,” Hawley added, ignoring Paul’s wider point.
“In a free country, I don’t have the right to tell The New York Times to publish by op-ed or YouTube to publish my speech,” Paul hit back, adding that Americans can easily quit using Tik Tok.
“But don’t disenfranchise 150 million Americans who are using a social media app and just say it’s no big deal,” Paul said.
He later asked “Which is more dangerous: Videos of teenagers dancing or the precedent of the U.S. government banning speech?”
“For me it’s an easy answer. I will defend the Bill of Rights against all comers, even if, need be, from members of my own party,” Paul emphasised.

Report: Fox News Tells Tucker Carlson He Is In Breach Of Contract By Posting Twitter Show
The network is considering suing Carlson, according to a report
Published

According to a report by Axios, Tucker Carlson was contacted by Fox News after posting the first episode of his new show on Twitter, with his former network charging that he is now in breach of contract, and could be sued.
Axios reports:
Fox News Wednesday notified Tucker Carlson’s lawyers that the former prime-time anchor violated his contract with the network when he launched his own Twitter show on Tuesday, according to a copy of a letter obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties.
Carlson’s lawyers told Axios that any legal action by Fox would violate his First Amendment rights.
Carlson’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, stated “Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events.”
According to the report, Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar told Carlson’s people that “Fox expressly reserves all rights and remedies which are available to it at law or equity.”
“This evening we were made aware of Mr. Tucker Carlson’s appearance on Twitter in a video that lasted over 10 minutes,” Gugar’s letter reads.
It further notes that Carlson’s “services shall be completely exclusive to Fox,” and claims the host is “prohibited from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether ‘over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.'”
The report suggests that Carlson’s representatives are set to argue that Twitter is not a direct competitor of Fox News, and posts on the platform do not constitute a breach of his contract terms with the network.
Here is the epode in question, which now has over 100 MILLION views since it was posted just two days ago:

As we previously highlighted, Carlson doesn’t have any deal with Twitter and is posting like any other regular person.
Fox News hasn’t technically fired Carlson, it has just taken him off the air, meaning he is still locked into a contract until January 2025.
That means the popular host would be completely frozen out of being able to actively cover the 2024 presidential election.
Carlson’s detractors have voiced concern that should he be free to keep producing his own content, he will not be ‘policed’ or censored at all.

Biden Press Secretary Claims Illegal Immigration Is Down 70%, Says Food Prices Have Soared Due To “Poor Weather”
Can her lies get any bigger?

Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Wednesday that Americans are experiencing soaring costs for food because of “poor weather” and bird flu, and also claimed that illegal immigration is down 70 percent.
Americans have seen food prices soar by up to 12 percent on average since last year due to massive inflation, yet the Biden Administration wants you to believe its really because of “supply chain bottlenecks,” “avian flu,” “war in Ukraine,” and “poor weather,” basically anything other than their disastrous economic record.

It’s basically the same talking point that was laid out in the Wall Street Journal earlier this year when the outlet advised Americans who can’t afford food to stop eating meals.
Meanwhile, in another huge lie, the Press Secretary claimed illegal immigration is down 70 percent, despite record numbers having crossed the borders in May, including waves of suspected terrorists.
Karine Jean-Pierre claims illegal immigration is "down by 70%" because they're "addressing the challenges."

When asked about the legal parameters of moving illegal immigrants around the country, Jean-Pierre said she “cannot speak to the law.”
"Does the White House think [flying illegal immigrants from Florida to California] is breaking the law?"

It’s slightly less of a massive lie than last month when she claimed that illegal immigration was down by 90 percent.
How much will she claim it is down by next month?

Video: Biden Press Secretary Defends Him Continually Stumbling And Falling Over
“Things happen”
Published
1 day agoon
7 June, 2023Steve Watson

Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre again attempted to brush off concerns that Joe Biden is constantly stumbling around and falling over, claiming “things happen,” and that “other Presidents have had similar situations.”
Jean-Pierre was questioned by NewsMax’s James Rosen who pointed out that Americans are concerned that Biden isn’t fit to run for another four year term as he appears frail.
“I want to ask about the President’s tumble that he took on the stage in Colorado the other day,” Rosen began, adding “It’s absolutely true that any one of us could trip over an object that just happens to be in our path. Nonetheless. We’ve all observed the difficulty this President has in certain settings.”
“Steps are one of them and of course there was no sand bag in his path on the steps up Air Force One on any of those occasions,” Rosen noted, adding “I was struck particularly by the incident on May 19, in Hiroshima where the President descended down a set of stone steps toward a shrine.”
“At the bottom of which steps he was greeted by the Japanese Prime Minister. And if you look at that footage, the President slipped and caught himself on those steps. And as he greeted the Prime Minister, you could even see on the president’s face, pursed lips as if to say this was a close one,” Rosen continued.
Here is the incident Rosen is referring to:

The reporter then asked “whether this whole series of incidents has led the White House Chief of Staff to direct some kind of review of the advance procedures that are employed on behalf of this, the nation’s oldest President?”
Jean-Pierre was having none of it, claiming she didn’t see anything that happened in Japan and then listing achievements Biden has accomplished as some sort of counter balance to him stumbling around.
“Your proposition may or may not be true, but it’s not responsive to my question,” Rosen responded.
The Press Secretary snapped back “You’re asking me if we’re going to change anything from here, the Chief of Staff has asked for it to change anything from here. And here’s the thing, here’s the thing. We are not. Things happen. Other Presidents have had similar situations.”
And with that she ended the press conference.
Watch:
Yesterday the Press Secretary refused to comment on whether Biden would actually survive another four years:
"What do you say to anyone who is questioning whether the president would survive a full, four-year term?"
