amid the re-upping of his Facebook ban, Donald Trump answers the question, will he run in 2024?

Stay tuned for that. Also, Kamala Harris says the solution to the ongoing border crisis is,

of course, fighting climate change. We've got a lot coming up today and it starts right now.

Welcome to the News and Why It Matters. I am Sarah Gonzalez today joined by Jason

Buttrull chief researcher of the Glenn Beck program, who is, I mean, I think the jacket is nice.

It's nice. Army green. It's, well, it's, you know, nicer than your usual just the t-shirt.

That's what I'm going to say. How, how weird does it feel being here amid a bunch of NAND or falls, who just, you know, just dying on the streets, obviously.

I don't wear my mask when I'm outside in New York anyways, but differences I don't get mass-shamed. Nobody's following me, videotaping me and putting on the internet and yelling at me that I'm some kind of crazy person.

Yeah, I keep writing for it to happen to me. I actually kind of actually missed that.

You? Yeah, I'm kind of a masochist. You know what's fun? Walking to Walmart, no mask can just feel the freedom. It's so awesome.

The first thing I did after they let it in, I did it and just kind of stared at people and dared them to say something to me. No, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, he stared at everyone, he stared them all down like, yes, say something. All right, so President Trump Facebook actually upheld, they have their new oversight board that we've talked about on the show. They have, it's a panel. You love this. Very, very objective people, a panel of journalists, activists and lawyers who compile, compiled together, they are the Facebook oversight board.

They manage all of the appeals whenever something goes wrong on Facebook that you don't like. And very objective, they said that they would uphold the social media platforms ban against former President Donald Trump.

Now they did admit that this ban is the, it's vague, the actual part in there that talks about banning figures, it's vague, it needs clarification. But nonetheless, they are upholding that ban against President Trump.

So I do want to get into what he alluded to on our friend Candace Owens show. But let me first, I want to get your thoughts, gentlemen, on, you know, I know we've talked about it before on the show, but Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, they're all banning a former President, Facebook doubles down on it now.

And I mean, it's not just an account of his. We've seen them take off interviews that people have done with him, and they take it off because they just, he just can't be on the platform, his voice can't be on the platform, his likeness can't be on the platform because it's just too scary, too inflammatory.

Are we too far gone? Are we past the point of no return on this?

I don't think we're past the point of no return. I think there are steps that they can take to fix this situation. The steps that the social media companies, big tech, are taking clearly don't work. So take for instance, this little panel.

Like, so it was created, I think, just to give Facebook a level of separation so that they wouldn't really have to deal with these things anymore. We wouldn't be pointing the fingers at them.

But this little group that they created, this board, what they in a sense did, the way I read it was, hey, they didn't want to deal with it either, so they just kicked the ball back over to Facebook and said, hey, you guys deal with this.

I can see that kind of happening in a circular pattern indefinitely until nothing gets done.

And they said, within six months, they're going to review it again.
