Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro is testifying to Congress on Wednesday for a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the alleged conspiracy to suppress conservative voices under the guise of “brand safety.” A report was released by the committee early Wednesday morning outlining how member organizations of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, or GARM, colluded to demonetize disfavored online content. The report also uncovers apparent political bias by those driving the effort, with the founder of GARM privately espousing “anti-democratic views of fundamental American freedoms,” including free speech. Shapiro’s testimony will expose the political motivations behind this censorship, its impact on media freedom, and the failed attempts to silence outlets like The Daily Wire, Fox News, and Breitbart, as well as figures such as Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and Donald Trump. The hearing will be streamed in full below: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) condemned GARM in his opening statement, saying that it has engaged in “coordinated actions that harm consumers by limiting the choices available to Americans.” “They came together, agreed to limit advertising on certain platforms that millions of Americans choose to watch, read, or listen to,” Jordan added. He also noted that they have a bias against conservative organizations like The Daily Wire. “These people do not like conservatives. Again, do not take my word for it, here’s what employees at Group M said to GARM’s leader about Fox News, The Daily Wire, and Breitbart News,” Jordan said before quoting individuals who said “they hated their ideology,” when discussing removing advertisements from conservative sites. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D, NY), the ranking Democrat on the committee, defended GARM in his opening statement, saying it was necessary to keep “racist” content off the Internet, and suggested that The Daily Wire and similar sites are full of “hate speech” and “violent propaganda.” Flanked by a pink-haired assistant, Nadler said it was a “conspiracy theory” that conservative content was being censored. He lauded the size of The Daily Wire’s audience and business success, arguing that there is no evidence it has been throttled. “Imagine what he could do if GARM wasn’t targeting the Daily Wire,” Jordan said following Nadler’s remarks.  Democrats largely skipped the hearing, with only 14 of 43 committee members present for opening statements. This piece will be updated throughout the hearing. 

First lady Jill Biden’s former press secretary Michael LaRosa on Tuesday rebuffed accusations from the Left that Jill is engaging in “elder abuse” by working to keep her husband as the Democrats’ 2024 presidential nominee, despite serious concerns about Biden’s fitness for office. LaRosa was specifically asked about comments from far-Left activist and filmmaker Michael Moore, who called for Biden to step aside and accused those around the president of “the cruelest form of elder abuse.” “What [Jill] would say is that she hates politics but she loves [Joe Biden],” LaRosa told Fox News. “He never got in the way of her career and she won’t get in the way of his. They just never did that … they’re pretty independent.” The former press secretary went on to emphasize that he believes it’s Biden himself who wants to remain in the race, and Jill is merely supporting him. “This is his decision,” he said of Biden. “Jill and the advisors and his sister and his family are probably there and giving advice, but Jill alone won’t make this decision.” “I don’t know if Democrats really want her to be making the decision for the party,” LaRosa said. “I don’t think she would want that decision. I don’t think she’s comfortable with it.” Moore made his blunt comments following a concerning ABC News interview with Biden that aired on Friday. “If I have to be the only one to stand up for Joe Biden here to protect him from the cruelest form of elder abuse I’ve ever been forced to watch, well then that’s what I’ll do,” the filmmaker said. RELATED: Michael Moore Says ‘Elder Abuse’ Must Stop, Calls For Biden To Step Down After ‘Utter Collapse’ At Debate “He was in epic distress [during the debate],” Moore continued. “Every cognitive default in his mind seemed to be shutting down. If this had been somebody that you truly cared about, loved, embraced, what would you have done? Would you have seriously even let him go out on that stage?” “I will say this, to protect him from an out of control party machine that is in a panic over what to do—for any of us to be silent now is exactly what the term elder abuse is meant to describe,” he added. “Leave Mr. Biden alone.” Before addressing the “elder abuse” accusation, LaRosa said that the Bidens’ decision to stay as the nominee is likely being colored by Biden’s withdrawal from the Democratic nomination race in 1987. “That moment was scarring for them,” LaRosa said. Biden has been adamant about staying in the race, even saying during the ABC News interview that he would only drop out if the “Lord Almighty” told him to. Further, in a letter he sent to Congressional Democrats on Monday, the president emphasized his position and urged Democrats to fall in line. “Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us,” Biden wrote. “It is time to come together, move forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump.” Related: Schumer Backs Biden As Democrat Concerns Over Fitness Mount
