There is nothing conservative about allowing a handful of Silicon Valley oligarchs led by hipster Rasputin Jack Dorsey control our entire speech in this country up to and including censoring the duly elected sitting president as they did on January 7th and January 8th.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen you are controlling 90% of the speech in the country, the public square, you are by definition engaging in a political act and we the people absolutely have the right to do this,\u201d Knowles argued.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m going to be blunt,\u201d Carlson said later. \u201cAre you hopeful that this will in fact roll back to where we were five years ago and we can have a free country again, or do you think this will accelerate? Is there any stopping them, I guess is the question.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Knowles then argued that \u201cconservatives need to be a lot clearer about enforcing a standard, saying no, we are actually going to stand for something here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf we really can\u2019t discern between say, drag queen story hour and going to church on Sunday, if we really can\u2019t discern between a private company pursuing its business and three dudes in Silicon Valley controlling our speech, then we have given up the capacity for self-government, which requires our faculties of reason, our moral conscience and the political power and the courage to wield that political power when people give it to us,\u201d Knowles concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.2857142857143\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In case you missed Tucker tonight! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7cDkOOoT2j\">pic.twitter.com\/7cDkOOoT2j<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/michaeljknowles\/status\/1412950158120296454?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Trump <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/opinion-is-trumps-big-tech-lawsuit-a-dead-on-arrival-media-stunt\"><span>announced<\/span><\/a><span> on Wednesday that he was filing a series of lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube over a variety of issues related to the censorship of conservatives on the platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re demanding an end to the shadow-banning, a stop to the silencing, and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing and canceling that you know so well,\u201d Trump <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2021\/07\/07\/trump-lawsuit-social-media\/\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>, calling the lawsuits \u201ca very important game-changer for our country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
