BREAKING NEWS: Ted Cruz Blocks Josh Hawley’s Bill On Big Tech, Then Josh Hawley Responds 

Senator Hawley is always on the mark! Ted...there is a reason, that no matter how hard we try, I at least have a tough tough time getting behind some of the BS you throw. Senator Hawley KNOWS of what he speaks. GET SOMETHING DONE AND SHOW ME AND THE REST OF COUNTRY THAT YOU'VE EARNED YOUR KEEP SEN. CRUZ.

Special interest groups in his corner.

Censorship. There’s a fine line between protection and censorship.

Ask about the Pegasus overlay system they use to monitor social media fair amount of facts there

WHAT ELSE IS IN THE BILL?

AMEN! I'm with Hawley on this. And for the fact that he is trying to expose the contamination of everything, that is killing people, making kids sick. Contaminated water and soil that HUGE corporations have not only known about but didn't care and kept going. I'm with Hawley on this. 💯 People want to try to say that parents need to monitor their kids better and I agree on some level, however it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to do at this point unless you NEVER ever let your kid out of your sight. I mean never let them out of your sight. We can't opt out of internet usage at school, we have no control when it comes to the internet at school at what kids do during recess or break.

What about gun companies?

@@RLGanleyreally? Do gun companies as a corporate entity set out to infringe on Americans constitutional rights? Post one example….I’ll wait…..

They are not immune

Think about the lawyers, the big tech companies and the gun companies can afford when some little old me or little old you decides to try and sue them okay and then top that off with oh. They have immunity from being sued. Think about that for a minute. At least we should be able to try and sue them

Not everyone can afford to take companies to court

I belive in section 230 protections.. once they're gone all of big tech will massively ratchet up censorship to protect themselves. Its litterally a no-brainer..

​@@MarilynKeil The point is to make it possible. As of now it's not an option.

@MarilynKeil The DOJ would have already if we had an Administration that wasn't owned by the Defendants.

The question is who is going to control it? The government of USA? So they can do whatever they want, controlling the information?

Let's not forget that we get shadowbanned from social media sites, so that our comments that they do not like are not seen by everyone else which violates our 1st Amendment Rights on American soil. If there's EVER a class action suit against these anti-American social media sites, I will be jumping onboard with those fighting against them in court too for denying my 1st Amendment Rights to be exercised REGARDLESS of if they feel like we don't have the Right to express ourselves. TRUMP 2024!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Working for Americans or hisself?

​@@lindasilastapley7518how? By making a bill to clamp down on billion dollar businesses? I don't think that helps him any. In fact hurts him. These companies r censoring, lying, influencing kids in bad ways and CAUGHT allowing "map" people do their thing unchecked. And I can't even write what they r because it will get taken down.

We need a powerhouse like those in the White House with Trump.its go to take a powerhouse team into j for Trump to get us bc on tract Biden has done so much they have not told us all that he has done to destroy us

@JustinJ-qk2ht why are they wrong

I adore Josh! He just makes my heart feel at peace! He TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS! Hope he stays FOREVER!

Cruz is a goner on this ... Looking for the next job with Big Tech

As someone from Texas, I have disagreed with more of Roy's stances in the past few years than I have agreed with, as far as I remember. I don't believe him to be the powerhouse that you think he is. I believe red flag laws are a big strike along with the omnibus spending bill a couple of years ago.

😂😂😂

Tex 😂😂😂

I belive in section 230 protections.. once they're gone all of big tech will massively ratchet up censorship to protect themselves. Its litterally a no-brainer..

​​@@zebbedy8542I swear when I seen this correction I thought about how people call a Chevy engine a "vortex" and not the correct name "vortec" 😂

So now Republicans like regulation?

It's called the Constitution

​@@ZombieTomatoThey always have unlike democrats.

​@@ZombieTomato Seriously ??

Save our kids from being a guinea pig!

Ted Cruz exposing himself as always. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

As a Texan who voted for Cruz he better have a damn good reason for this, He did not beat Beto by that many votes.

Ted Cruz sounds like a rhino

Israel paid him to. Whatever he says will just be borrowed pilpul.

$$$$$

he is a pice of s, that's why. Showing his true colours, protect Israel, protect the pdofles

Remember what he called the J6th people.. He called them all Terrorists and even Tucker called him out. I never liked Cruz since that day.

Ted Cruz has been a RINO from the beginning. For a while he pretended to be a conservative , now he has returned to his old ways. Now we know who his backers s are, I wonder how much he cost them.

Zodiac ....

He's been a rino wearing a lion suit the whole time.

Ted Cruz is all bark and taking his bones from the elite

My problem is, restricting adults from AI or whatever freedom they choose just because kids can access it is not freedom, it is censorship. I'm all for restricting kids access to AI if that is the intent, but they have no legal right to restrict adult's access to it. period.

@@drunkenskeptic6633 True. Parents are supposed to be responsible for EVERYTHING their MINOR children are doing. Hawley's Bill, puts the responsibility in the hands of the government, and as usual, by doing so, excuses parental involvement in their children's activities and lives. During the lockdowns, parents were suddenly made aware of what their children were being taught, but WHY did it take a lockdown for the parents to realize this? Because they had left the entire education of their children, up to the state. I get that not all parents are capable of the oversight of their kids, but Hawley's solution is to SUE...after harm is already done! That's no solution! A long long time ago, when computers were first introduced into homes, the government did put put PSAs for the use of computers when it came to children. One of the things they insisted that parents do, is to have the "home computer" in a public room, like the kitchen, rec-room or livingroom. NEVER, they insisted, place a computer in the privacy of your child's' room, not because you can't trust your kids, but because you can't trust what is OUT THERE on the Net. Make it so a parent can walk by the child and the computer at any time a ns SEE what's on the screen. Smart phones and laptops destroyed that, because kids all seem to have phones, and laptops that they can take anywhere, and look at anything. It is STILL on the parents though, to KNOW what your kids are up to on line, to ask them what they are watching, to educate them about the potential dangers, and even to restrict access if you think there is any potential danger, abuse or RED FLAGS. What ever happened to parents being involved in the lives of their kids?? Don't take even more responsibility away from parents, by just allowing them to SUE after their kid has been sexually compromised or threatened on line! Time for parents to step up. Besides, Cruz is right...bring on the Ambulance Chasers... I also don't like Hawley's premise, about the baby powder, and J&J. Johnson & Johnson were NOT "putting asbestos into baby powder". The old baby powder was made from Talc, which is actually ground up rocks. The kind of Talc that was used is found in the same area where asbestos is found, geologically. They were negligent in making sure there were NO trace amounts in the powder, but to say they deliberately "put it in" the powder is a lie, and Hawley shouldn't be using a false premise like this as a basis for his argument. Johnson & Johnson also did not "stop putting asbestos into baby powder", they simply stopped making ANY baby powder out of Talc, and now ALL baby powder, in fact all body powders, from J&J to Gold Bond are Cornstarch based, which is better. So the lawsuit did accomplish something. I just don't see the correlation between baby powder, and AI, with one exception, parents are the ones making the purchases. They buy the computers, supply the iPhones, the laptops, they pay for the monthly contracts, they allow their kids to play the games, to watch the TV, to go on line, and they also buy the food and the hygiene products they and they kids use. If more parents would care enough to be responsible, and be interested in what their kids are doing on line, these laws wouldn't even be needed.

is this a seperate bill from the tik tok bill? if it's anything like the anti tik tok bill that he was promoting not too long ago i'd absolutely vote against josh as well. I agree with the guy's sentiments but if like Cruz says, the bill hasn't been debated over or have had people with the experience giving a good context so that the people who vote on it can understand what they are getting into or out of then passing it at this time would be premature. If this is part of the anti tik tok bill then this bill needs to be buried and destroyed.

Our enemies are anti-Human

Tik tok is an attack on the US by China. It had destroyed many lives and is used to further destabilize America. Looks we found the foreign actor eh? ​@@nbsmith100

No we don't. He receives so much money from corporations.

And even less Australian politicians / bureaucrats! Col west aust

Oh and yes we do. Although he loves Israel a bit too much

I'm not even from Missouri but I love Hawley ... Cruz just trying to get a future job at Google ....

You are grossly misinformed. It does not matter who or which party wins, the common people always lose. The people lose and the elite rich get richer by the day. Don't get busy in watching the political drama and miss out on the actual issues your country face. I know it does not make sense what I said but put yourself in the shoes of just an observer and you will get the bigger picture.

I love Hawley ... always looking out for children. Cruz abandoned Texas and went to Mexico during the Texas Freeze ... I will never support him again

Meh, I agree with ted. If you open that door then expect the tech companies to get sued every time a troll says/posts something sue-able(which they will just so they can then go on and sue the platform themselves) on a platform, which will just mean more censorship. If a child is talking to an ai then you have to blame the parent. Maybe make them click a confirmation that they are 18+, which kids will click anyway(so what's the point). While I agree that Big tech is outta hand the ai isn't the issue, it's the political censorship. They should risk losing section 230 coverage if they don't actually remain a neutral platform.

Ted needs to be investigated THOROUGHLY for this.

🤔🤔🤔

Be fair... We don't yet know why Ted blocked this. Ted has fought hard and firm for all of us in recent years! I wouldn't have defended Ted 10 years ago but he's grown greatly in his fierceness to fight for all of us! But Josh Hawley is amazing and fights for us, too.....debate, just like they're doing

Disappointed in Mr. Cruz on this !@@debbyusher6693

I think I want to move to Missouri ... Hawley is what I believe ... Where in Missouri. Family originated from Missouri in Ray County

Cruz is shameful ... I will never support him again after this issue ... I will do anything to boot him out of office ... Cut and run guy. Texas was freezing and Crus took his family to Mexico ... Tells me a lot.

I actually don't mind internal disagreements, provided they both genuinely believe in their positions. Even if I disagree with one. What I strongly dislike is the faux agreement from certain individuals. Particularly on the other side.

He seems to be a lot of talk, good arguments but does nothing else. He did once call Trump supporters "terrorists" and then said that was a "mistake"..lol

Bought and paid for??? At least that's the way it appears. He knows how to give a speech against big tech companies while he's actually saying he supports them. Another Lindsey Graham.

I belive in section 230 protections.. once they're gone all of big tech will massively ratchet up censorship to protect themselves. Its litterally a no-brainer..

Agree about Ted Cruz, he needs to understand that his not the only one with God given brains. Plus Josh Hawley is a good man plus his fighting for the American people. Praying 🙏 for Josh Hawley.

@@ginnycleary-zq2pu I pray for America. If it falls to globalist commies, the world enters a new, dark age.

Deeply concerned about him (Cruz) getting a job with Google

@@Really-nd6uo Well, if that’s the case, bye, bye Cruz...

Good choice.

I did too, Michigan here ...

Wise choice. From Hawaii. Please note, we’re not represented in our respective states. Especially not by Mazie Hirono, and Ed Case who simply flow with the left’s’ narratives of the day

You sound like a lying over confident Democrats.. I belive in section 230 protections.. once they're gone all of big tech will massively ratchet up censorship to protect themselves. Its litterally a no-brainer..

Cruz acting like he is something .... Go back to your vacation in Mexico while Texas was freezing ...

True true. Just need to see the bill

I belive in section 230 protections.. once they're gone all of big tech will massively ratchet up censorship to protect themselves. Its litterally a no-brainer..

AGREE ... He is lo0ooking around for future employment

Cruz's comment was an attention getter....needs a close look.

Cruz should be investigated.

​@@rl4889 incorrect. He states his reason at the 13 minute mark. The bill doesn't address all the problems he wants resolved. Go back and watch again.

Money is blinding politicians. What else is new.

Because everybody will sue for every little thing they don't like to see on the internet to make a buck. If you think Elon is the savior of free speech, then you should want the block.

Cruz wants AI to take your job.

Future job with Google

Ted shows his true form.

Are they showing the WHOLE issue??? I like both...But so far Big Ted seems to dropped the ball on this.

Agree

Always was. Washington power couple - Heidi Suzanne Cruz is an American businesswoman. She has been a managing director at Goldman Sachs since 2012

💯💯💯💯💯

That is what it looks like.

The alternative was Beto O’Rourke. Don’t beat yourself up too much.

I belive in section 230 protections.. once they're gone all of big tech will massively ratchet up censorship to protect themselves. Its litterally a no-brainer..

You realize that there won't be comment sections or Twitter or RU-vid or any kind of platform that hosts user content, correct?

Cruz has to protect his big tech kick back donations. He could careless about the people.

@@leonarddarson447So you want the govt to decide what can and can't be posted on the internet?

@@ZombieTomato no what I want is civil liabilities on big tech. Let the courts work it out. Just as any other business is held liable.

@@leonarddarson447And who's gonna decide what's offensive or not? The govt. So ultimately the govt will decide what can and can't be posted on the internet. You realize there will be lawyers finding "offensive" comment everywhere and suing for a living? What company will risk allowing public content if they can be sued? It's the US, people sue for everything.

Except school gives children access to the internet, how can the parents watch over their children unless they home school them not every parent has the ability to do so.

😂

The right likes govt regulation now? What happened?

Trying to get his next job with Zuckerberg ....

Cruz is a blah ... sacrifice children for his next job with Z

Stop being anti-semitic.

LOL 2522 U DEM

And "The Show" goes on. Two sides of the same coin. Reagan warned destruction would come from within and the government isn't out friend🤷‍♂️ Hence investigations and hearings but never prosecutions or accountability🤯🤯🤯

There are one-party states in this world The United States is not among them. Use your eyes. Partisanship is everywhere in our system

@JVendittelli 0 seconds ago Pedophiles who own big tech should be sued by parents. All tech owners aren't good people.

True

Stop with the blaming everything, except the cause. Dont blame big tech, gaming,etc,etc,social media because, PARENTS DONT WONT TO BE PARENTS AND DO THEIR JOB.

Adults are easily manipulated.

@@darrin8955 I agree with you100% on the absentee Parenting and lack of good Parenting skills. I have seen it first hand. But Children's brains "changed" once those violent video games came out years ago, including Social media and their indoctrination , I could go on..... I am a retired educator and director/owner of a private school. Look at all those " identity" and "gender confused" kids. Indoctrinated. Manipulated. Brain washed. Sad and scary reality.

Hunter's got bigger guts than the entire GOP. He has my support.

Yes they do

​@@yepyep340I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear that.

Amen on that!!

Social media companies aren't journalists.

So clearly most people didn’t actually watch this video and hear what Ted Cruz had to say…

@@BasedDad35 THANK YOU! Did you hear me saying, "Did you people even hear what Cruz said?" I tried not to shout. I believe that, if these two men work together, their plan will be game-changing!

He’s probably been bought

Yes and after all this time why hasn't he gotten anything accomplished he could have been working all along with cinderalla to come up with something And now is something is standing in the way Get your ass to work Cruz And if you can't get the job done then at least get out of the way

AI only chooses from a list of preprogrammed responses that it gets WRONG as much as it guesses correctly. It is only as intelligent as the evil ones that programmed it. Intelligence is part of everyone's Lifeforce and cannot be created by man. It is nothing but SI, Simulated Intelligence. AI has only been put in place so that the evil ones can do evil things and then say, "IT WASN'T ME, IT WAS AI THAT DID IT!!"

I share your jealousy, although my state has one GOP Rep who fights for us non-woke citizens.

I feel the same here in CT

How don't they add up? You realize that companies will shutdown RU-vid, all social media, Twitter, any website where users can post their opinions?

I belive in section 230 protections.. once they're gone all of big tech will massively ratchet up censorship to protect themselves. Its litterally a no-brainer..

''someone is getting paid under the table'' bingo.

Agreed. They need to pass something to fix this problem while they still have the majority.

​@@tlindsay1007they don't have the majority in the Senate.

😂

Serious No Self Responsibility??????

The users should always be responsible for abusing properly designed technology and its clear instructions for proper use.

My prior responses indeed appears in confict. I would like to offer, hopefully, a better explanation for these prior responses. If a toy is faulty in design and is sold in the market, the manufacturer should be liable for harms it causes. However, in the case where a toy is well designed for a toddler but a parent gives that toy to a baby and resulting in harm, that parent should be responsible and not the manufacturer. The same logic applies to the seller of a technology. In the case started by Senator Josh Hawley where a person committed suicide because of answer given to that person by AI, the seller of AI should be held responsible. The developers of AI should also be held responsible if there are sufficient evidence to show these developers had intended to cause harms to AI users.

Bingo ...

🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂🏃‍♂

What freedom? Content will end up regulated by the govt because everybody will sue for everything and govt will have to decide what should and should not be on the internet.

@@ZombieTomato Government, government, and government ....We The People.

GREAT COMMENT

Your side is a Clown Show. 🍿

@yepyep340 Wow - because two people on the same side of the aisle have a rational dispute on a complex issue, that makes it a "clown show"? You just revealed your slavish adherence to ideology - if you don't walk lock step with the party line, its a great offense - typical leftist thinking (or lack of thought).

I think it's a good thing they are having this debate in public. At least it shows that they are willing to discuss options in a transparent way, and don't blindly agree with each other, no matter what, like the Dems do.

@@tlindsay1007 repubs are far more guilty of cult like behavior. to deny this is to prove my point

I love Hawley ... Cruz is blah on this issue

ABSOLUTLEY

You are absolutely right.....both of these guys are great....I don't care what anyone says they will figure it out.......

Thank you for the explanation.

Cruz wants to block progress for his donors of big tec. He can never be trusted. Pass the Bill !!!

What, for once ???

Big Tech needs to take a kneel on this issue

BINGO

Exactly why big tec should have age restrictions and be held accountable.

@@leonarddarson447 and the parents who don't watch what their children consume. You can't place the blame entirely on the company. And age restrictions are bs. Everyone lies. And everyone knows it.

Cruz out of line ... I will never support him again... 85000 children are missing ...

PAYED OFF

🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

He's most likely bought & paid for by Big Tech!

Senators are there to protect the interests of their states. It’s a different beast from the House.
