PETE HEGSETH (CO-HOST): We live in a free country where we should be trying to influence our elected officials if we're passionate about a topic, but the speech police came for you. Whether it's you, Prager University, Laura Loomer. I mean, if you're saying things the left doesn't like, they will shut you down. Do you have any hope, any hope at all, that they'll bring your account back? What's your recourse?

MARY ANN MENDOZA (ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER, WOMEN FOR TRUMP): I am looking into filing a lawsuit against Twitter, because I'm not going to allow them to silence me. I have freedom of speech, I did not do anything hateful, I'm only speaking my truth.
