The following is an edited transcript of an interview on an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire/exclusive-babylon-bee-sues-california-over-deepfake-laws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Exclusive edition of Morning Wire</a>. Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley sits down with CEO, president, and general counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, Kristen Waggoner, and Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon about a new lawsuit over censorship.
Earlier this month, California’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-set-out-to-ban-memes-to-protect-their-power" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gavin Newsom signed</a> first-in-the-nation “deepfake” laws – a move that came just weeks after he said a Kamala Harris online parody video should be “illegal.” While the Democrat governor’s office is celebrating the laws as a “safeguard” against the use of “deceptive” digital content, conservatives say this is a massive violation of free speech.
