The irony here, Megan is rich, you know, the book is The Tyranny of Big Tech. And it's been big tech that leverages their power to cancel the book.

it shows you the attempt on the left to use the power of private corporations to try and carry out the sort of censorship that government could never do under our Constitution.

They also canceled just just recently, the cop from the Breonna Taylor case who was shot in the leg in the femoral artery, executing that no knock warrant.

They canceled him too. And I just you know, like the double standard on all of this is so frustrating because nobody here, I think not neither you nor me, certainly in my people go back and listen to my broadcast, but would defend the Capitol Hill riot in any way.

It would be better if we had competition among multiple companies, some of whom would say, hey, conservatives, guess what? You're welcome on our platform. We won't censor you.

The book was initially commissioned by Simon and Schuster, one of the two biggest publishers, I believe I'm right, saying in the country.

Simon and Schuster signed a contract for the book before it was written, so it commissioned me in that sense to write the book. I wrote it, they saw it, we're happy with it.

And then in January, they said, oh, actually, you know what? We're not gonna publish it. We don't think you should be able to, we don't think you should be able to speak.

They never reached out to me personally. I read this in a press release.

And he said, well, why? What are you gonna say? It was like, well, we'll be putting out a statement. And so it's like, well, I guess we'll read it. I guess we'll read the statement, which is what I did. I read their statement, which directly, I can't remember the exact words now, but basically said that, well, Holly helped to decide a riot on Capitol Hill.
