Psaki argued that false narratives about the vaccines were putting people at risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are a government official, you can crackdown on free speech and just say, \u2018Saving lives. We are going to take away your First Amendment. Saving lives,&#8217;\u201d Watters said in response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see how this is cracking down on the First Amendment,\u201d co-host Jessica Tarlov replied, arguing that misinformation on the coronavirus did get people killed and that social media companies had a responsibility to help keep people safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter,\u201d Gutfeld pushed back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut do you think the White House should be in charge of labeling what is disinformation?\u201d Watters asked. \u201cThe White House, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, have a horrible track record when it comes to what disinformation is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tarlov objected, saying that the White House didn\u2019t really have much of a track record at all after only six months in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLab leak. Open borders. Laptop. Russians. Hoax,\u201d Watters continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me finish,\u201d Tarlov protested, but Watters turned the question to Gutfeld instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s say President Trump, a couple years ago, colluded with Facebook to crack down on people posting about the Russia hoax. He said, \u2018You know what, CNN is posting about the Russia hoax, it\u2019s disinformation, it\u2019s tearing the country apart, let\u2019s nuke \u2018em.\u2019 What do you think the media would have said?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey would have gone crazy,\u201d Gutfeld replied. \u201cNone of this matters, once government is involved with a corporation, that is a violation of the First Amendment. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening. It doesn\u2019t matter if you believe it\u2019s disinformation. It doesn\u2019t matter. Because it is \u2014 every opinion could be misinformation by our definition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to explain why he didn\u2019t trust Democrats to determine what constituted misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine the people \u2014 look at it from our perspective. Imagine the people who spent decades calling us stupid, rubes, and racists, are now in charge of controlling the spread of information by using the word \u2018misinformation,&#8217;\u201d Gutfeld continued. \u201cAny sane person would say hell no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld concluded by repeating that it didn\u2019t matter what Democrats \u2014 or anyone else \u2014 believed was misinformation because the real issue was the collusion between the government and Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen information comes out and it\u2019s wrong, and it\u2019ll be wrong on the left and it\u2019ll be wrong on the right.
