You've got great news as we talk. Judge right before we went on the podcast gives you the what what you were ultimately looking for. You had one step left and the judge signed on to this amazing agreement that really does aim to stop what we saw from for too many years during, quite frankly, the Biden administration. It can happen under any administration. But we just saw a complete strong arming of social media by the government to silence the speech of all kinds of folks, particularly conservatives.
John Vecchione (2:45)
Yeah, it's true. Now I will say this. The activities started under Covid, under the first Trump administration, but it wasn't that they were run out of the White House then it doesn't appear. But the allegations start in the Trump administration. Then they ratchet up exponentially in the Biden Administration with what they called a whole of government approach to stamping down views they didn't like. And I'll mention the case, the case name right now is Missouri v. Biden. I think it, that's what we've called it. But Biden for the preliminary injunction was dropped out of the case because you can't and join the president. So it was Murphy v. Missouri. Folks might have heard of it when it was at the Supreme Court. So I just want to say where we are and after, after a lot of jockeying, a lot of legal maneuvers, we've entered a consent decree which makes a lot of great statements about free speech and then allows our clients who are Aaron Cariotti and Jill Heinz, Jay Bhattacharya and Martin Kulldorf, who are now in the administration, started this case but they dropped when they joined the administration this consent decree, if their social media posts are ever taken down or, or shadow banned or whatever by government activity by the surgeon general, the CDC or cisa. So that is and also Louisiana and Missouri and Gateway pundit Jim Hoff can also enforce this agreement.
