CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): The Mark Zuckerberg news is very big. I did not get a chance to comment on it. For those of you that missed the program yesterday or do not quite know the news, Mark Zuckerberg announced sweeping policy changes, saying they're getting rid of their fact checking department, that this election was about more speech, not less speech, that they're changing their content moderation team to go from California to Texas. These are dramatic changes. And before I get into the details here — and I've had a chance to sit down with Mark Zuckerberg. I'm getting to know Mark Zuckerberg. People say, do you trust him or not? I said, I'm getting to know him. I found him to be very sincere when I sat down with him, but it's gonna be a growing relationship over these years. That I appreciate, basically, Mark and the Facebook team, Joel Kaplan and everybody who — Joel, I do know very well — to stand up to the government, to stand up to these regimes and say, no. We are going to protect freedom of speech. We're going to protect freedom of discourse.
