Rep. Briscoe Cain - Congressional Candidate Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'd like to, but your account got banned seven twenty
three years our time here in Houston's Born News, we're
drawing by Representative Brisco Kine congressional candidates. And have you
ever been banned by Google?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
By the way, No, no, I've been banned by Twitter
for one hundred and ninety days one time.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
But not by Google. It seems to me that they're
during the Biden Biden administration. Part of me, the big
thing that got Google upset were all these anti COVID
vaccine videos that were getting posted, and they called and complained,
and Google at the time just rolled over and said, okay.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well there you go. Right, this is the big story.
We were being early anti Google, and maybe we shouldn't
give them a pass, but who is the real culprit.
The real culprit was our own government. Now again, you
should not be surprised, right, this is the same government
that killed us sitting US president, so it' shouldn't be surprised.
And they wanted to censor your speech. But that's exactly

(00:56):
what happened. The US government was pressuring his companies to
silence their state's stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
All right, and you're absolutely right about that. But then Again,
if you're a company like Google, do you have to
roll over when the government makes that demands? Are they
rolling over now to our current government, you could say so.
They certainly seem like they were.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
But however, in those times past, multiple states have continued
to pass legislation that opposes these restrictions, just like we
did here in Texas a bill that I passed a
few years ago. And I think some of that's also
a response to these things.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I think I have to wonder here, is there something
that we can do as a country to make it
clear to these companies that free speech applies regardless of
which political party is in office, and that there's only
so much any part of the government can do to
restrict those things. Because clearly Google thought it was in

(01:52):
their best financial interest to go ahead and cave to
the Biden administration.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, a good point. Of course, they're getting plenty of
sensitive and big government contracts. But what we can do
is to fix federal law that essentially gives these guys
this monopoly. But they are common carriers and should be
treated as such and then punished for any discrimination by
not carrying content that they disagree with. It's pretty simple.
The states have been trying to pass this legislation, but

(02:19):
ultimately we've got to amend federal law to really put
some teeth into it. And that's the answer.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, sir, thank you as always. Representative Bristo Kane joining
US at seven twenty six
