Rumble, Rumble.com is a legitimate YouTube competitor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m hearing ideas like this all the time,\u201d the TPUSA founder added. \u201cThat\u2019s good energy, but, look, it is going to take a policy perspective. We have to punish these companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Kirk continued, \u201cI\u2019m not here to play games. I\u2019m not here just to hope an&nbsp;entrepreneur solves it. Maybe it will, maybe we\u2019re going to have someone that comes on the scene that is non-woke and loves the country \u2014 and we\u2019re seeing some of that activity \u2014 [but] it\u2019s not enough. The federal government is not going to do anything anytime soon. It just won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if Republicans take back the House, they can do legitimate oversight into Google, into Facebook, into Center for Technology and Civic Life, into Mark Zuckerberg, into all of that,\u201d Kirk said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut to go a level deeper, I think the states have to start to punish these companies for their behavior,\u201d he added. \u201cTax them,&nbsp;regulate them, investigate them \u2014 to do to them what they do to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Watch the full interview below:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"video-src-attr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/author\/matt-perdie\/\">Matt Perdie<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>You can follow Alana&nbsp;Mastrangelo on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and Twitter at&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turning Point USA founder\u00a0Charlie Kirk told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview at his organization\u2019s recent AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Arizona, that states need to start punishing woke companies for &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1215033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1215033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1215033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1215033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1215033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1215033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1215033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
