| Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Butche, and Jack Dorsey. | |
| Three real nice guys. | |
| We're asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to order an immediate halt to social media companies' illegal, shameful censorship of the American people. | |
| And that's exactly what they are doing. | |
| We're 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. | |
| Our case will prove this censorship is unlawful, it's unconstitutional, and it's completely un-American. | |
| We all know that. We all know that very, very well. | |
| Our filing also seeks injunctive relief to allow prompt restitution and, really, restoration. | |
| And you can name about 20 other things, and it has to be prompt because it's destroying our country. | |
| Of my accounts, in addition, we are asking the court to impose punitive damages on these social media giants. | |
| We're going to hold Big Tech very accountable. | |
| This is the first of numerous other lawsuits, I assume, that would follow. | |
| But this is the lead, and I think it's going to be a very, very important game changer for our country. | |
| It will be a pivotal battle in the defense of the First Amendment. | |
| And in the end, I am confident that we will achieve a historic victory for American freedom | |
| and at the same time, freedom of speech. | |
| So I want to thank all of the exceptional legal team behind this effort. | |
| In particular, John Cole, we have a lot of the tobacco lawyers. | |
| You know, I said, who are the best lawyers? | |
| Well, the tobacco lawyers seem to do a very good job, so I figured, let's see if they want to do it, and they really wanted to do it. | |
| We have great, great talent. | |
| I also want to thank Brooke Rollins, just an outstanding person and friend. | |
| She's carrying it out to a level that nobody saw, and she's done it very quickly, together with Linda McMahon, a tremendously successful woman who did an incredible job in the administration, one of the best. | |
| And everyone at the America First Policy Institute for their support of this vital initiative. | |
| From the very beginning of our nation, freedom of speech has always been Understood as a bedrock of our liberty and our strength. | |
| In America, we recognize that the freedom to speak our minds and express the truth that is our heart. | |
| Really, that's really a big chunk of our heart. | |
| It is our heart. | |
| It is not granted to us by government. | |
| government. It's given to us by God, and no one should have the power to take that right | |
| away. | |
| The founding fathers inscribed this right in the very First Amendment to our Constitution | |
| because they knew that free speech is essential to the prevention and look to the prevention | |
| of horror and to the preservation of our republic. | |
| But remember the words, the prevention of horror, because we're very close to seeing that now in our country. | |
| We've never been in a position like this, and it's all happened very quickly. | |
| In the words of the father of our country, Although some would like to take that title away from him, George Washington, he will not be canceled. | |
| If freedom of speech... | |
| If freedom of speech may be taken away, then, dumb and silent, we may be led like sheep to the slaughter. | |
| Pretty well-known phrase, and so true. | |
| Unfortunately, today, This fundamental American right on liberty is under incredible threat and attack by a lot of different sides. | |
| But we are the majority side by a lot. | |
| I believe we are the majority side by far more than anybody would understand. | |
| You just have to take a look at what happened in recent elections and add up the right numbers. | |
| You will see a majority like you wouldn't believe because nobody can believe what Some of the things that are being said are. | |
| Nobody believes that. | |
| Social media has given extraordinary power to a group of big tech giants that are working with government, the mainstream media, and a large segment of a political party to silence and suppress the views of the American people. | |
| And they've been very, very successful at that. |
