Someone wrote an editorial for the Figurehead on Big Tech. Here’s enough of it to know where the people who run Joe Biden want to take legislation.

The American tech industry is the most innovative in the world. I’m proud of what it has accomplished, and of the many talented, committed people who work in this industry every day. But like many Americans, I’m concerned about how some in the industry collect, share and exploit our most personal data, deepen extremism and polarization in our country, tilt our economy’s playing field, violate the civil rights of women and minorities, and even put our children at risk.

As my administration works to address these challenges with the legal authority we have, I urge Democrats and Republicans to come together to pass strong bipartisan legislation to hold Big Tech accountable.

“Extremism?” The people who run Joe Biden are the most dangerous people ever to control America’s levers of power. What they mean is conservatism. “Tilt our economy’s playing field?” The people who run Joe Biden used the pretext of a flu to shift $720 billion from small business to big business -- they don’t care about fairness. Do I even have to address the rest? They pretend men are women and want to chop kid's genitalia apart. The editorial is a series of lies.

The question is, will Kevin McCarthy--who is famously a big fan of censoring conservative speech--take this bait and waste time trying to craft big tech rules with Team Biden?

To hear form someone who works on these issues in D.C., Ari Cohn joins the show. He is a First Amendment lawyer for the solidly libertarian Tech Freedom. We had a fun talk, but I don’t know that we reached any important agreements, other than government intervention in our speech cannot ber allowed. I was particularly frustrated by his views that seem to indemnify big tech from their roles as government stooges. Still, it was enlightening!

What does God say?

God is pro-free speech and pro-accountability. In the Book of Job, we read Job questioning and even accusing God. Did the Lord strike him down, shadowban him or put his tongue on suspension? No, the Lord answered him, corrected him and even rebuked him. But, in the end, God restored all Job had lost.

Job's Three Questions and Their Answers

The Lord Jesus gladly debated people whom He could have silenced.
