posted by private users on their sites. it's both sides of free speech, they're saying. correspondent david spunt is following the story from the supreme court. >> increasingly contentious digital discourse reached the supreme court in another free speech debate over the limits of moderating or eliminating social media posts some might find controversial or harmful. areas like public health and vaccines, he can election intelling i didn't at this and national security. what are the boundaries? that was the question as the nine justices debated whether social media companies blocked certain posts by private users. under pressure from the federal government. >> it's got these big clubs available to it. and so it's treating facebook and thesother platforms like they are subordinates. >> a majority of conservative and liberal justices appeared reluctant to limit government

contacts with big tech provided it does not cross the constitutional line into coercion or retaliation. >> the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country. >> the government is not monolithic, either. you can't sort of pick and choose which part of the government you are concerned about. >> some justices question whether president biden's own words in 2021 amounted to coercion against digital platforms about covid vaccines. >> they are killing people. i mean, it really -- look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. and they are killing people. >> missouri and louisiana later sued the biden administration for improperly collaborating with these social media sites to take down disinformation relating to covid. but the scope goes far beyond health policy. >> high court last month, bret, heard a similar digital speech case over state laws and how those laws would restrict big social media companies

>> we are going from liberal bice to illiberal bias. >> we are going to favoring one side to trying to suppress the other side. >> well, the supreme court case about free speech and what the government can and cannot do with social media companies. for analysis of that, let's bring in fox news chief political analyst brit hume. brit, good evening. "the washington post" writes it this way. the supreme court likely to reject limits on white house tech contacts. majority of justices across the ideological spectrum expressed concern about hamstringing federal government communications with social media platforms on issues such as public health, national security, and elections. throughout the proceedings, justices grappled with when communications crossed the line into illegal coercion. here is justice jackson about that ketanji brown jackson. >> my biggest concern is that your view has the first amendment hamstringing the

government in the most important time periods. i mean, what would you have the government do? i have heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech. >> bret: what did you make of the oral argument and some of that exchange? >> well, i was certainly struck to hear justice ketanji brown jackson say that the first amendment under the view that she clearly does not support would hamstring the government in important moments. that's the whole purpose of the first amendment is to hamstring the government. to prevent it from abridging, as the constitution puts it, freedom of speech and these platforms that are in question here are for freedom -- for free speech, and people said all kinds of things about covid, for example, including the government. some of which turned out to be true and some which did not. the theory of our first amendment, bret, as i'm sure you well know is that out of the

voices that are heard and people can think about and debate and argue eventually the truth may be found. arrived at. consensus may be formed. the question here is whether what the government did was not merely exercising its free speech rights to encourage platforms to prohibit this or urge that or whatever. it's whether it went across that line into one where it was using its awesome powers to expressed or implied to force compliance with this idea what ought to be said and not said, which would be a clear and certainly a clear violation of the first amendment and ketanji brown jackson seemed bloifl to that likelihood. >> bret: yeah. brit, i want to turn to another topic. speech and blood bath and picking up of that obviously the former president says a lot of things that raise eyebrows.

some of them make the left's heads explode. but, this one in particular, what did you make of the use of it and its conch so far? >> well, first of all, the word bloodbath is used in common parlance all the time. and it doesn't necessarily refer to an actual shedding of blood. it refers to some major upheaval, damage being done and the rest of it. and it widely used figuratively in newspapers and magazines and journalists who didn't think that trump should have said this, are full of the use of that word for that reason. when trump says it you take notice and you want to know what he was referring to here and if you look at the context of it it's pretty clear is he not threatening to cause a bloodbath to trigger one or urge one. is he talking about what he thinks will be the consequences of certain policies related to the automobile policy if they're put into effect as president biden seems to want to do.

urging a bloodbath or threatening one or so on you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what he was saying and they ran with it. they seem never to learn. it is this attitude that the journalists, too many of them have had, that the emergence public life of donald trump as a political figure and as president constituted a national emergency and it was their job to do everything they can to get him out of public life and keep him out. and they are still trying to do that. that's what gave us the russia collusion if we we as co-was chasing after that dead end. they are still doing it. some of our colleagues, bret, just seem not to learn anything from their own mistakes and this is another one. >> bret: brit, as always, thanks. up next, jennifer griffin speaks with the estonian prime minister on her escalating feud with neighboring russia and vladimir putin. >> well, russia's playbook hasn't changed and that is how they operate and that's why we have to know that there that

tough on vladimir putin. they joke you eat russians for christmas. is that true? >> i even showed my breast to prove that i don't eat russians for breakfast. can you be tough enough. we should have been tougher and tougher before so to prevent this from happening. >> your critics do say that you are too confrontational to be nato secretary general for instance. what's your response to that? are you too hawk kish? if we say because of our attitudes towards russia we are prevented from, you know, taking top positions, then we can actually give too much posh to putin to decide how we run our alliances. >> estonia became independent after the soviet union fell apart. you joined nato in 2004. you share 210-mile border with russia. russia's interior minister recently issued a warrant for

your arrest. dolls this worry you, especially after what happened to his main opposition alexei navalny. we heard what happened to navalny's chief of staff. he was brutally injured with a hammer attack in neighboring lithuania. are you scared? >> well, russia's playbook hasn't changed. that is how they operate. what they are really good at is uring fuel into the fires that are already existing in our society. we have to be aware. >> joseph stalin sent your mother and her family to the go log to a prison camp when she was just sings months old. she stayed there 10 years. sounds very similar to what russia is doing now taking hundreds of thousands of ukrainian children and deporting them to russia. >> for my country, one fifth of our population was either deported or killed. our language, our culture was suppressed. all these things happened while we had peace. so peace under russian terms does not mean that human

suffering will stop. >> if anybody in this room thinks putin will stop with ukraine, i assure you he will not. >> you met with ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy in january. what happens if ukraine does not get the supplemental weapons that are currently stuck in congress? >> if aggression pays off in ukraine, russia wins. ukraine loses. then the security architecture of europe but also wider world is at stake because what we have learned from 1930s is that if aggression pays off somewhere, it serves as an invitation use it else somewhere. >> we know the tensions in south china sea. we know, you know, iran, north korea, so we are gonna have more conflicts around the world because the aggressors, or would be aggressors in the world are carefully taking notes. >> critics say europe is not paying fair share in terms of nato manipunate membership. you have spent g.d.p. on weapons

to ukraine. for the u.s. that, would be the equivalent of $378 billion. what are americans not understanding right now in terms of what europe is contributing and why this is so important to europe? >> well, europe is doing a lot. we are doing more in terms of absolute numbers as well. but what we have to talk here about is that, you know, if america thinks it is far away, we are so intertwined. out of 45 states out of 50. the main export and investment partner is your honor. if something happens in europe it will effect your jobs here. jennformer president trump says. >> i will have the horrible war ukraine and russia i will get it done in 24 hours. i know them well. >> what's your response. >> that doesn't mean there's peace. if you negotiate with putin, and then you just give in to putin.

i think america has always been the number one country in the world. right now there is a clear clash between the powers of the world. so, if u.s. is not backing ukraine, then russia will win and then russia's friends, china, iran, north korea, are the ones who are actually the leaders of the world. we don't that world. >> french president emmanuel macron recently said all options are on the table to defeat russia, including sending troops to ukraine. would you send troops to ukraine? >> i think what is important is that ukraine must win this war. [explosion] >> but skeptics say that ukraine can't win. what are they missing? >> well, first of all, this is something that russia wants us to believe. that they are lasting longer than the western side. second is that we really have to have a victory as a goal. no war has been won when you don't have a victory as a goal.

so, if we already start to think that oh, you know it, doesn't go like this, then we have to be prepared for much more conflicts around the world. if ukraine wins. we don't have to talk about who is next. if ukraine loses, then russia might have a bite of nato and then, as we have article 5, that means all the nato's countries in [inaudible] >> thank you, prime minister. bret, back to you. >> bret: jennifer, thank you very much. up next the panel on the strained relationship between israel and the u.s.s. and reaction to the former president's weekend speech. and later the anniversary of an unsolved american miss industry.

five months, now israel has to stop? no one wants innocent civilians injured, except hamas. that's the only group i can think of that wants that. what joe biden needs to do is give his advice privately. because, when you publicly chastise israel. you embolden israel's enemies and for chuck schumer to suggest there should be be regime change in israel is just outrageous. israel by the sway surrounded by enemy privately and not publicly. >> jessica, peter doocy asked about that nbc reporting and kind of the back channel stuff, take a listen. >> peter: when he does that, is he shouting and swearing about netanyahu or about hamas or about his poll numbers? >> this is the when did you stop beating your spouse question because i don't think so he ever did that and so. >> you used that as the premise of your question which is when he does that i have never seen him do that, shout or swear in response to that.

so, from my perspective, that particular report is not correct. >> bret: according to the report, other lawmakers in the room did describe it that way. jessica, your take on this? >> i think this biden administration is frankly just fed up in general with these reports that they don't feel are accurate or accurately portraying how president biden feels or how is he conducting his business. i think that's the a separate issue. the other point and i think jake sullivan got to some of this but obviously could have gone further and we will hear more in the coming days is how important it is that president biden on the call with prime minister netanyahu ask that the israelis send an enter agency team to the u.s. to have a discussion about how they can deal with the rafah situation. they do not want a ground invasion. they worry this will make it even worse for innocent civilians on the palestinian side. it didn't sound to me that they were against the idea that israel needs to keep going. that's something president biden feels very strongly about but they apt clear plan laid out.

i won't dispute the fact it would be frustrating especially among gen z voters they are having such aggressive response to what is going on in gaza right now. but i don't think the biden administration is being driven by these poll numbers. the election is very far away. do we wish it was all sunshine and roses and everyone was on the same page? 100 percent. but i don't think that's why president biden is doing. this i think that he generally humanitarian tug of what is going on and balance that with his support for israel which has been clear since the day this happened. >> bret: morgan, the fallout from senator chuck schumer's speech is still reverberating in israel and apparently it did come up on this call. >> yeah, as it should. it was unprecedented for us to meddle in another democracy in this manner. i think actually sullivan and others in the administration

corrected on sunday on the sunday shows when they said only the israeli people should determine who their leaders are it's interesting that the party of rules and norms keeps breaking rules and norms and another way of doing so. this is not just democracy this is strongest ally and friend in the middle east. what i don't understand is why there are these harsh words for israel yetet conditioning aid fr israel. where are these same policy prescriptions for hamas, for the slack republic of iran who we know is behind this. so it's incredibly frustrating. just as trey pointed out to hear these words towards our friend and our ally that would never get said, for example, towards zelenskyy or towards ukraine. this harsh public criticism is only reserved for the state of israel. and you know why. it's an electoral research. that's the only research why they are doing it. >> yeah. trey, speaking of senator schumer, we went back into the way back machine and went to

speeches he gave ahead of the midterms in 18. is one back in let's see may 23rd, talking about gas prices and former -- and then president trump. take a listen. >> whatever meager benefit working families might have seen from trump's tax scam, for the rich is being wiped out by the gas prices that president trump is responsible for. final price of gas under obama $2.36. current price for gas under trump, $2.92. mr. president, you can't blame this on president obama as you try to blame everything on him. >> bret: okay. so, right now the national average gas prices today 3.46. a month ago it was 3.27. a year ago it was $3.44. so, that is not something that senator schumer is talking about now.

trey? >> yeah. if you wonder why people in congress have such low public approval rating. i mean, you just saw it, number one don't read your speech, chuck, memorize it if you really believe it. number two, don't be quite so do youduplicitous. if a republican did it was wrong then when a democrat did it should be wrong. that's why people are so frustrated with politics what you just saw and heard. >> bret: all right, jessica, speaking of speeches, the bloodbath comment even snopes came out and said it appears that this was not something that he was talking about. it says the context for the remarks suggest trump was predicting an economic bloodbath for the country not a literal one if he loses the 2024 presidential election. so, quickly, should we make a big deal out of that? >> it's really tough. i feel like every weekend or every time he gives a speech, we have something that we could run with. the truth of the matter is the american people are going to go out and vote on the economy. that's what they want to hear

about. we talked about defending democracy, the importance of january 6th. i believe in that wholeheartedly. but i think it is going to be a gas pump election, a grocery store election. democrats have done a lot of good. those prescription drug prices down. the stock market, et cetera. that's where i would focus. people know who donald trump is. it's unfortunate but many still are supporting him despite that. >> bret: all right, panel. thanks so much. i want to take that extra time tomorrow on "special report" believe it or not we have jesse watters he has this book coming out. get it together troubling tales from the liberal fringe. if you can't catch us live set your dvr 6 p.m. on the east 3:00 p.m. on the west coast. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid.
