Summary

Georgia Congressman Andrew Clyde discusses the bombshell revelation that, “the FBI alone paid Twitter $3.4 million between October 2019- February 2021,” and his new legislation, “ELON Act” that seeks to hold accountable and end Big Tech-Big Government overreach. Congressman Clyde remarks, “this is nefarious,” “and what they're doing is what the government cannot do directly, and that is censorship by proxy, this is 100% a violation of the Constitution, you just can't do this sort of thing.” Going on to say, “the Supreme Court has been very, very clear in his pedigree over the last 200 years is what you can't do directly, you may not also do indirectly. That's the whole thing, and [the government is] doing it indirectly. And the Supreme Court has just put their foot down on that. And here the government is trying to censor your speech and my speech, and they are paying Social Media companies for their information. And the ELON Act puts a big one year moratorium on any payments from the FBI to big tech and it also exposes the collusion between Big Tech and the Department of Justice.“
