Farron Cousins: So on New Year’s Eve, which was the worst day possible to drop any kind of news, but on New Year’s Eve, Jerry Nadler Democrat in the House says, we’ve actually compiled this report that outlines, it was a huge report, everything that Jim Jordan, the chair of the Judiciary Committee did to help Elon Musk make money, basically laying out what they call this collusion between Jim Jordan and Elon Musk. And to save people the 150 some odd page report, Jim Jordan did, in my opinion, weaponize his position to try to shame advertisers into going back to Twitter, because you had a lot of advertisers once Elon Musk took over, unbanned everybody, including some horrible, horrible racists. These advertisers felt pressure to get off the platform and they did.
Mike Papantonio: But they’re back. They’re back.
Farron Cousins: They’re back because Jim Jordan hauled them in front of Congress.
Mike Papantonio: Nothing has changed. They’re back. Well, first of all, Nadler is a buffoon. He is, the guy’s a buffoon. He titles his paper, this is the title of the paper, how the House Republican majority abused oversight powers to protect Elon Musk and silence his critics. This hit the garbage can before it was dry. If you read that, you’re saying, well, I get it. I don’t need to read anymore, do I? And in there was some important stuff. It was some good analysis, but the idiot put this headline on it and it became garbage immediately. Nobody paid attention. Did you actually read this?
Farron Cousins: Listen, I didn’t even know this had come out until two days ago. So I’m talking two weeks after New Year’s when it came out is when I saw the first story on it, and the story even mentions nobody even knew this happened because he drops it on New Year’s Eve.
Mike Papantonio: Yeah. But there’s some good analysis from what I’ve read, the people have looked at it and said, there’s some good analysis in here. But when you start off with a title like that, I mean, really? And then you have Nadler’s name on it. It’s like immediate garbage can, you know.
Farron Cousins: And the big headline before even that was delusion of collusion. So we got to get our little rhymes in there and be cutesy with it. But really what Jim Jordan has basically spent two years doing, even beyond the Twitter stuff, he has weaponized his position. His whole thing was, let me go after all these stupid things that nobody cares about. Jim Jordan’s never sponsored or never had a piece of legislation that he sponsored get passed, not once in his entire career.
Mike Papantonio: Really? I didn’t know that.
Farron Cousins: And he’s given up any pretense of attempting to be a lawmaker. He just said, you know what? People left Twitter so now he’s not making money. Let me bring in these advertisers as if you have any say over it. Advertisers, even if they’re pressured by people, have every right to leave a platform or to go to a platform. You may not like that they’re advertising there, but it’s their decision. You may not like that they leave, but they have that right and when you have Congress of any kind attempting to interfere in this free market that they say they love so much, that’s always going to be a problem to me.
