Callers Fetch Popcorn to Watch Trump Fight Back

Even a caller not on social media was so fired up about President Donald Trump’s landmark class action case against Big Tech CEOs – that Clay asserted a few times he thinks will go all the way to the Supreme Court – he deemed it popcorn worthy.

“I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but I voted for Trump and I voted for my 401(k) and I’m not on social media so I don’t pay any attention to what he did or didn’t say,” said Terry from York County, Virginia. “I think it’s probably unfair to keep him off, but I’m buying popcorn for this because you can get into the injunctive phase, you get into the summary judgment.

“When they get to discovery, I assume his lawyers have told him they’re gonna ask him everything in the world he doesn’t want to answer about that January 6th event. And he’s not gonna be able to not answer it,” continued Terry, who answered impressed Clay’s query by saying he was “somewhat” of a lawyer.

Clay’s betting on Trump, and thinks the ramifications are huge. “I think it’s a really interesting point,” he said to Terry. “What I would say is I think the Big Tech CEOs have far more to lose answering questions under oath than Trump does because, best of my knowledge, Trump has already had every single thing that he did surrounding the January 6th incident looked at in minute detail, whereas the tech companies haven’t.”

But that was just the first impassioned listener response to the breaking news of Trump’s battle for free speech against those Big Tech “monoliths,” as Buck called them. Clay predicted this as “what will be the biggest decision in an era about what Big Tech can and can’t put on their platforms” and used his lawyer’s hat to profoundly analyze the worthy case, as did the always well-reasoned Buck. The next callers also eloquently added to the huge I.Q. on display, but, in addition, were more fired up even than usual.

“There’s something that we all gotta remember,” declared Brock in the Texas Panhandle. “President Trump didn’t do things — he doesn’t fly by the seat of his pants. He always has things set. He’s got his ducks in the row. And I tell you what, he’s got an ace-in-the-hole. We all know what James O’Keefe has done in the past. I bet you employees, he’s got moles in all these companies. I bet he’s got documentation. I bet he’s got things that people have laid out and have evidence of them banning him. I guarantee you he’s not going in this halfhearted.”

Martin in Pratt, Kansas, is as mad as Trump is and thinks we all deserve justice.

“I think it’s great what President Trump’s doing, and I hope it ends up costing these companies millions,” he fumed. “And I hope that at the end of it all it sets a precedent that mandates the upholding of our constitutional right to free speech. But I think that of the millions of people that voted for Trump, of which I’m one, all that have had any banning or censorship from any of these companies, I think they all ought to jump on board and band together and file our own lawsuits against these companies.”

Buck pondered Martin’s wide-ranging idea. “Unfortunately, it’s gonna have to cost billions, not millions, for these companies to care.”

Clay, however, thought Martin’s suggestion was not pie-in-the-sky; it could happen, responding: “Well, it’s also a class action, Buck, so that’s what they want.”

Most importantly, though, Clay said he thinks the callers’ and Trumps’ passions are well-placed and ultimately will protect us all – as our First Amendment rights guarantee.

“And I’ll say this, Buck,” Clay declared. “The filing of this lawsuit and making it a class action also may go a long way towards discouraging Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube from additional bans because now somebody is punching back in a big way here.”
