New documents obtained by the America First Legal Foundation have revealed deep collusion between officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its allies in Big Tech to silence dissenting voices.

The documents lay bare efforts by government officials to push social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to censor so-called medical misinformation.

John Zadrozny, deputy director of investigations at the America First Legal Foundation, joins the show to discuss how deep the collusion goes, and what it all means.
