Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 04-13-22

of New York said. We'll get into this. Friends, it's time for holdinge. Welcome to hold the line. I'm Buck Sexton. Look, folks, we are in a time of elevated crime. We are in a period here where we know, naturally there's a problem. And so this latest shooting in New York City by somebody who was arrested many times and was well known to law enforcement is a reminder of just what exactly

is going wrong here. Here is a photo of the suspect, sixty two year old Frank James, and as you see here, he is a black man in his early sixties, and he allegedly carried out this terror attack. It was a terror attack, by the way, according even now to the FBI. FBI came out and said that today I saw yesterday. Because they early on were saying they were not investigating it as a terror attack. That just means they hadn't yet found enough evidence to classify it as such. Now

they have because it is. It was an act of terror. And it's noteworthy that this suspect was known to the FBI. Here's a headline for your Brooklyn subway attacks. Suspect previously known to the FBI, and clear, that's right. He was already on their radar, and somehow they had interviews, sit downs with him and decided, oh no, this is fine, there's no problem here. Pretty remarkable, pretty astonishing. Now, this is one incident. It's a horrible one. Thank god, nobody

was killed. He shot ten people. He deployed a smoke grenade, he had a gas mask on. He also had a hatchet apparently in his bag. No one was killed. He shot people, so I'm critically injured. But he did not manage to have a lethal impact in this terrorist attack, largely because his gun jam. So he also had a very limited proficiency and understanding of firearms. Thank god, but

this could have been much worse. We could have easily had a dozen people or more murdered on the New York City subway during the morning rush hour by somebody who was a career criminal, essentially arrested about a dozen times and was known to the FBI as a possible extremist. What kind of extremists? By the way, Oh, you won't see much about this, but he was an abject racist, lunatic. All right, This guy, Frank James hated white people, hated

Asian people. Made this quite clear in videos he posted to YouTube where he said the most anti white, anti Asian things you could possibly imagine, repeatedly. He was a racist, saw him on the writer even calling him a black supremacist because he wanted to attack people of other racial backgrounds. Now, the media is not going to put it into that context, of course, They're just going to focus on the mental

health issues here. And in the case of New York City's Mayor Eric Adams, his whole approach right now seems to be the focus on historical inequality as what caused the crime, and also other failures of society. Watch this. We are going to get better. This is going to be a safe city. And we've been here before nineteen eighty four, when I started my policing career, this was a city that was open violence. Our selway systems were unsafe. But we had to write energy and spirit to turn

that around. And we want to do it again. But let's be clear, we're dealing with historical inequalities, historical abandonments and failures. And as I stated, they have many rivers that will continue to feed the sea of violence if we don't damn each river. We have an over proliferation of guns in our city and in our country. Now

let's understand he's completely wrong. These are these are absurd, absurd analyzes to present, first of all, on the historic inequalities here as it pertains to the surgeon gun and other violence and just crime in general New York City. New York City has already gone through a period, went through a period in the nineties into the two thousands of cleaning up the streets, of becoming a very safe large city. And I lived here during it. I know

it was a very safe city. It was a remarkable turnaround sent actually a drop in murders of ninety percent plus since the early nineteen nineties by the time you get to about two thousand and twelve. So what happened, We all of a sudden got a lot more historically unequal in the last few years. No Democrat policies about crime, from the prosecutor's office, from the State Assembly in New York, from the mayor's office, from the governor's office, Democrat ideas

in the media about criminal justice reform. All of that came together and pushed away what we had learned about actual crime fighting and made people think, oh, I guess we can just let criminals out and not punish them and not enforce the law and everything will be fine. Of course this was complete maddeness. And then the focus on the guns. Well, here you go, here's Eric Adams again saying, we have to stop the flow of guns into our cities, including ghost gun All across America, big

cities are dealing with this level of bindings. And so that's why the President was right to it in place attempt to a point a new head of the ATF, the nominee for ATF. We need to stop the flow of guns, including ghosts guns. That's a real crisis that we of facing. If we want to solve this problem. It's about all of us getting on board, not those who are living in an alternate reality of what's taking

place in reality or no speech every day. So initial reports just to look at how stupid this talking point is that you're hearing from a lot of Democrats right now. Initial reports are that this was illegally purchased firearm that he had in the state of Ohio, and then he took it across state lines and was in violation of New York City and New York State law in doing so. That's what we know as of now. How are you going to stay? How is the City of New York

going to stop that? Are they going to search every vehicle that enters New York City? He drove a U haul apparently. Are they going to search every vehicle that enters a city to make sure there's no illegal guns coming into the city. No, They're just gonna make it

impossible for too legally owned firearms. They're going to harass and annoy lawful gun owners or would be gun owners and violate their Second Amendment rights and lock people up because they didn't properly register a twenty gage shotgun that they used to go pheasant hunting on the weekends. That's the kind of bullcrap the New York City authorities, the NYPD, and others are forced to do because of Democrat lunacy on guns. Speaking of Democrat lunacy pathy, hokel whose antics

yesterday work just absurd. She showed up and seemed to think that she was leading some kind of a political rally against violence. We need the governor of New York to start giving completely worthless pablum in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on our subway. Watch this. No more mass shootings, no more disrupting lives, no more creating heartbreak for people just trying to live their lives as normal

New Yorkers. It has to end. It ends now, and we are sick and tired of reading headlines about crime. It has to stop. I'm committing the full resources of our state to fight this surge of crime, this insanity that is seizing our city because we want to get back to normal, normal mass shooting. She shouts, Oh thanks, I'm sure the criminals are going to pay close attention to the shrill idiot governor of New York. It's outrageous, isn't it that this person is the governor of any state.

This woman shouldn't be the governor of a lemonade stand, and yet she runs New York States Executive Branch. Right now. One of the reasons we have so many problems in these blue states is because Democrats keep electing morons. All right, it's beginning to look like Russian President Vladimir Putin's effort to prevent By the way, she wasn't even elected. She just was who was left after the last Democrat elected

governor you got pushed out. Putin he's trying to prevent NATO expansion in Eastern Europe by invaded Ukraine, and guess what that may have backfired. The nations of Sweden and Finland are now seriously considering joining the Defensive Alliance, with the decision expected to come within weeks. We'll have more on that with the Heritage Foundations Nile Gardner coming up. Listen. You know I'm skeptical by nature, So when I heard about home title theft, I figured, can this really happen?

Can someone just forwarde your name off of a quick claim deed and then act like they own your home and it's all done online. Yeah, they can actually steal your home online. This is real. According to the FBI, this is a fast growing crime, much faster growing than even credit card fraud and not covered by the normal homeowners insurance. You probably have home title lock earned my trust.

They put a barrier around your home title. The instant they detect anyone messing with their home title, they mobilized to shut it down. Here's what I urge you to do. Number one, go to home tuttlelock dot com and read the testimonials from FBI agents and government officials. And number two, register your home address to see if you're already a victim and don't even know it when it comes to protecting your home. Tell them buck sex and sent you

to get my listener discount hometuittlelock dot com. Again, that's home titlelock dot com. We'll be right back with more. Hold the line. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine in part to prevent the expansion of NATO along Russia's border, while it seems his plan may have blown up in his face. Today, the prime ministers of Finland and Sweden met to discuss the possibility of both nations joining the Alliance, citing Russian aggression as the catalyst

for their potential membership. Here's what Finland's Prime Minister Santa Marin had to say earlier today. The European security architecture have changed fundamentally after Russian's invasion of Ukraine. To change in the security landscape make it necessary to analyze how we best secure peace for Finland and in our region in the future. The Prime minister added that a final decision on whether or not Finland will apply for membership

could come within weeks. A spokesman for the Kremlin warned against the two nations joining NATO, saying it would not quote bring ability to the European continent. All right, well, let's dive into this. Joining me now is Now Gardner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation Nile. Is this a big backfire for Putin? I mean, what is it looking like? Well, but thanks

very much having me on the show today. And you know, without a doubt, I think this is very bad news

for a Putin and for the Russian regime. I think certainly Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which has gone incredibly badly, is really backfiring on multiple fronts, including of course, you know, the big picture with regard to to NATO, because you know, without without a doubt, I think that you know, the Native Alliance is going to expand as a result of the Russian aggression against Ukraine and Finland and Sweden I believe will become in short time full members of the

Native Alliance. They are on track to do so that governments are I think committed to bringing that about. This may happen this year, and I think there will be unanimous support within the Native Alliance for expanding the partnership to bring on board Finland and Sweden. They'll become the you know, the thirty first and thirty second members of NATO.

Yen Stoltenberg, the NATO Secretary General, has voiced his full support for the you know, for the expansion of the Native Alliance, and so, you know, I do think that you know, Putin's you know, very very you know, spectacular unsuccessful operation Ukraine. It's all backfiring, I think for the for the Russian dictator. What role do you think the evidence of war crimes has played in Sweden and Finland's obviously heightened interest in joining the NATO Alliance. Yeah, it's

a good question, you know. I think it's an important issue, and you know, especially for a country like Sweden, for example, which prides itself on playing a very active role in terms of advancing you know, human rights on on the world stage. I think the you know, the Swedish population, the Finnish population was absolutely horrified by the tremendous barbarism and savagery that you're seeing being carried out by the

Russians inside Ukraine. So that's a factor. But I think the number one factor, by a long way back in terms of the thinking in both countries, is to prevent the Russians from you know, daring to set foot in either of those countries. And after all, you know, Finland shares a you know, a boarder that's over eight hundred miles with Russia, and so the Finns, who have been invaded twice by the Russians in the past, they are

acutely aware of the tremendous threat level. And a recent opinion poll that came out in Finland showed actually that by six to one margin Finns were in favor actually of joining NATO. That the numbers are a bit closer in Sweden but you know, for the Finns right on the boarder with Russia, the threaten invasion is a very very real, you know, scenario, and they are on the on the guard. But as you point out what we're witnessing round Ukraine, they're the horrific atrocities, the war crimes.

This is focusing things well, not only in Finland and Sweden, but all over all over Europe when people are actually horrified by what's happening, and they of course are also worried that, you know, this could happen in their own countries, that the Russians decided to invade. How quickly could they become good? Sweden and Finland become full members of NATO if they do apply in the coming weeks. And is there any way that that process, I mean, can it

be expedited? Are the Russians going to try to bring some kind of pressure to derail it if it starts to happen, I mean, how does the actual process play out? Yeah, that's that's a very important question. And I think there's going to be discussion of this at the Madrid NATO summit, which takes place in the last week of June too,

So that's where I think this will be discussed. Both the Fins and the Swedes indicated that they would like to it possibly move forward in the course of the next few weeks, so in advance of the Madrid summits. So basically it would require a unanimous vote from all NATO members to approve this. Every NATO country has to approve an application to join, and I would expect that

the whole Native Alliance would would support this. So I think it would be a fast tracked process and you could see both Finland and Sweden as full members of the Native Alliance, I would say in the second half of this year. So it can be a very very quick process here. And I don't expect there's going to be any opposition among other NATO countries to those two

nations adjoining. The Russians will you know, will huff and puff and put, will make all kinds of threats, but it will it will make no difference Russia does any veto over who joins the Native Alliance. And my expectation is that both Finland and Sweden will be full members of the Native Alliance, certainly before the year is over, if not significant helium and what what practical effect. Let's say we get to the point where Finland and Sweden are now part of the Alliance. How would you expect

that that would affect things in Europe? Could there be a US base perhaps even in one of those countries soon? How do you think that would play out? Yeah, that's a good question, you know, in both countries of course. Finland Sweden have you know, have prided themselves on neutrality

for many decades. But I think in the new reality that we have in Europe with the Russians, you know, two hundred thousand troops or they used have two hundred thousand trips in Ukraine, that number's fallen significantly because they've

taken a lot of casualties. But um, you know, everyone's seeing what was happening in Ukraine, and so I wouldn't be surprised if you know, Finland, for example, approached the United States or Great Britain or another you know, or other NATO members to you know, to establish a you know, a full permanent NATO base in Finland, and I think that would be the wise thing to do. You know, the Swedes have been very actively engaged in supporting Ukraine.

They've sent over ten thousand missiles to the Ukrainians actually, and so you know, even in in Sweden, a country that that has you know, been neutral so long, I think there's a possibility as well of you know, NATO and NATO based in Sweden also, so anything can happen here. It's a very different landscape in Europe. It would be a wise move both finn and Sweden to welcome you know,

permanent NATO basis in their in their countries. The Poles have been seeking that for a long time and I hope that that will be the case for Poland as well. And also you know, the Fins and the Swedes, I mean, they know how to fight, they have highly effective fighting forces. They will be traditional added value to the Native alliance um and they also know how to fight you know,

winter warfare, and they know how to fight Biden. Just to get your take on this quickly, I didn't call the Ukraine invasion a genocide today watch this yet I called this genocide because it become clearer and clearer that proved the sin of wipe out the ideas he can feeling between Ukraine and the mount The evidence is mounting good different nowaks last week or evidence is coming out of literally the horrible thing be the Russians have done

gior Krane. So we're gonna only learn more and more about the defication and for about the Morris decides internationally is whether or not a qualifier. But it sure sees that way to be. Actually, the Biden essentially says he's not sure if it under international law qualifies as a genocide, but he used the term genocide. How significant is that? I mean, I think it's significant, and I think that clearly. I mean, the Russians are you know, have genocidal intent

in Ukraine there ethnically cleansing parts of the country. Um, you know, one can quible over you know, over the use the term, you know, genocide the legal definition. But um, you know, I do think that you know, Putin's regime as a genocidal regime and that that is true. But you know, with with regard to Joe Biden, you know, it's also important that when you make comments like this that you back up, you know, retric with you know, with tough action on every single fund against the Russians.

You know, don't sit down with the Russians negotiating and a rand nuclear deal while they carrying out genocide. So you know, I hope Joe Biden lives up to you know, the words that he uses and not does not partner with a genocidal regime. That's absolutely madness. That's what the Bidendministration is doing right now. So Joe Biden needs to wake up on the Rand front. Nile. I always appreciate the insight. Thank you so much. It's my pleasure. Thanks

very much, Bud. An expression of NATO wouldn't come without cost. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley recently told lawmakers that new permanent American bases in Europe could be needed in the coming years. But is that such a great idea? I answer the question with the host of the President's Daily Brief podcast, Brian Dean Wright. When we come back. First, I want to talk to you about protecting your online data. A lot of companies

promise your privacy is guaranteed. We know that's not true. That's why you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application tool called Secure and Spelled SEK. You are security is using proprietary encryption and offer secure instant messaging an email with secure all of your communications based on servers and data centers hosted in Switzerland without using any of the big tech platforms. Privacy is a big issue now. Without real security, people can read your emails, messages, even your

bank information. Secure will never mind your data, never ask for your phone number. You can send emails to your doctor, banker, lawyer, or anyone with total confidence you're not being spied on by your internet provider or big peck. Secure is your solution to stop the constant theft of your digital identity. Costs only five dollars for the messenger, only ten dollars from a messenger and email combination package. Go to secure

dot com and take back your privacy today. That's sekure dot com and use promo code buck for twenty five percent off. We'll be right back with more all the line. As we noted in the previous segment, with Russia's brutality on full display in Ukraine, many of America's allies in

Eastern Europe are worried they could be next. In a recent congressional hearing, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Millie told lawmakers the US should consider sending more troops and establishing new bases in Europe to deter Putin from further aggression. Take a look. My advice would be to create permanent bases, but don't permanently station. So you get the effect of permanence by rotational forces cycling through permanent bases.

And what you don't have to do is incur the cost of family moves, px's, schools, housing and that sort of thing. So you cycle through expeditionary forces through forward deployed permanent bases. And I believe that a lot of our European allies, especially those such as in the Baltics, or Poland or Romania elsewhere, they are very very willing to establish permanent bases. They'll build them, they'll pay form, et cetera, sending more of America's sons and daughters to

Europe in a military capacity. What do we think about this? Jo want I mean to answer that question is former CIA operations officer and host of the newly launched The President's Daily Brief the PDB podcast, Brian Dean Wright. Mister BDW. Bryant. Great to have you, sir, Very good day to you.

So I mean, let's start with this one. You're here and there, Mark Miller, we'll leave aside Mark Millie's fealty to the pronoun announcing blue haired left wing gender warrior crowd in the general American context, right, I mean, he's a guy that seems to panar to the left specifically on the military situation here as it's as it's projected in Europe. What are your thoughts when you hear him saying, yeah, let's build some permanent bases, additional permanent bases in Europe

and send more US military personnel to staff them. All Right, a couple of things. There's already over one hundred thousand troops in the European continent, so let's just start there. We already have a very big footprint. Second, you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little bit suspicious of people in Pentagon right now. That guy that we just heard talking about how he needs more and more and more had a lot and then some in Afghanistan twenty

years and he lost that war. Sort of the people down at the White House right now organizing this new effort in Europe. So I'm a little bit suspicious of the people who's saying we need to do all these great big things in Europe after they just lost the last big thing. So that's where I start right the second pieces. Look, it may be that our European friends build the basis, but to your point, we're sending the people,

it's our sons and daughters. But we're also hooking ourselves up to a multi year billion dollars each year effort to fund all of this. So it's still going to be expected, right obviously, and we're hooking ourselves into that for many years, if not decades to come. When you put these bases in, you don't just rip them out the next year. So let's be also very clear about our long term commitment that we are signing up for,

or our elites are signing this up for. But the other piece that I talked about in the podcast I know you are aware of. This country was founded by a man or multiple folks, but one in particular, George Washington, who said very clearly, especially on the European issue, Look, they have a very a complicated set of internal dynamics. Let's be very careful about setting up permanent alliances. We

don't want to do it. Make sure that we base our foreign policy on an issue or a foundation of neutrality. That's what I think that we're forgetting in this conversation where we're signing up for this stuff is to really put our sons and daughters in harms way. And I don't know that that's the best way that certainly our founders would want us to handle this issue. I don't think so. I don't think you probably share that to some degree as well. We've been burned certainly the last

twenty years. I don't want to be And again, yeah, I remember being in Afghanistan for our former employer or ten years ago, thinking is not going to work, folks, It's not going to happen. The mission here is never anyway. And then we saw how it ended. It took ten more years. But here's President Biden, by the way, the commander in chief, Brian. It's not pretty amazing. I know,

I still haven't really gotten used to it. Announced that he'll be sending even more aid over to Ukraine in the form of eight hundred million dollars to help him take the stand, help him take a stand against Russia. I watch this one nine once again using my presidential authority to actively to activate an additional security assistance to

continue to help Ukraine fend off Russia's assault. An additional eight hundred million dollars in assistance that brings the total of new US security assistance to Ukraine to one billion dollars just this week. These are the large These are direct transfers of equipment from our Department of Defense to the Ukrainian military to help them as they fight against this invasion. Is this the right move? Should we send more?

Should we provide planes? Where do you standing all that stuff? Look, I think the interesting thing here is he's celebrating the fact that he's sending billions of dollars to Ukraine. Meanwhile everybody is like writing checks to all the grocery stores and the gas stations and so forth, you know, paying those big bills, and they're like, hey, can we focus on on the disaster that's happening here in the United

States right now. So the context, the tone deafness of his announcements I think are pretty alarming that most Americans say, Hey, we got a problem here, let's let's focus our resources on that. But okay, put that aside. The issue of sending equipment to Ukraine. I don't necessarily have a problem with it, and that if we are going to send

some low grade equipment that bogs putting down. I think a reasonable person can say, hey, that's a smart move to at least show not only putting but the rest of the world that there's a cost when you do this kind of stuff. All right, The piece that concerns me. In fact, there was another little blip on the news

today hasn't been covered much. The US government's going to give even more tactical intelligence to our Ukrainian partners, which means that our spies and satellites are drawing in X over the Russian soldiers heads and on their tanks and so forth. That is a much more intense involvement by our government in this war. It's not just equipment. So that's the part that I think that if you're in Moscow you are thinking about, hey, do we need to hit the United States back? At what point does this

no longer become a spies gentleman's game? You know this world that former guys like Putin, who are or AGB spies, they're willing to tolerate some of this shenanigans because they did it against us. But when you start drawing that

X on the forehead of a Russian soldier. The calculus starts to change in Moscow, and we have to be thinking about that, because they're going to engage in some kind of strike against us, whether it's in places throughout Eastern Europe, whether it's an asymmetric strike of super attacks the United States. That's the part. When I hear about all this money and all the equipment, I'm thinking, all Ukraine has been invaded. We have to support them, But

what does this due in Moscow in terms? If it's willingness to strike us, that's what we should be talking about and thinking about when we hear this kind of new switching gears here just for a minute or so, Brian Russia is the only hostile foreign government that we have to worry about. Of course, China is making its present presence felt right here in the US by pumping

millions of dollars into American universities and colleges. According to a recent Fox report, China based entities, including the Chinese government, secured one hundred and twenty million dollars in contracts with American colleges in twenty twenty one, and the Chinese institutions entered into agreements ranging from one hundred and five to thirty one million dollars more than two dozen other universities.

China is waging, it seems to me Brian with dollars, a kind of economic warfare campaign, similar to the ideological and political allies campaign the Soviets did back in the day against the Western world, specifically against us. You were absolutely right. Look, you and I know what these folks, these Chinese communist folks are up. They are trying to. In fact, they have borrowed themselves in our government, in our press, and in our universities. And they do that

for lots of different reasons. But the university piece really is a twofold one. They use it to steal our intellectual property, all the ingenuity and research that's going out at these universities. They do it to target dissidents, Chinese citizens that are here going to school. They find them and they target them their families. They also use these relationships as platforms to then send their spies to pretend

that they're professor, let's say. Then they go out and they start collecting intelligence with some of their other agents, US agents, right, So they use it as a platform. So there are lots of reasons why this is a bad, bad deal. I think that the alarming piece for me is we have a president who is compromised or may very well be compromised by the Chinese. He's shutting down

these investigations into this stuff. That's what's alarming. We know what's happening, and that's really what we should be talking about. Why isn't our president outraged by these relationships and why isn't he trying to shut it down? And I think we all know why. The big guy isn't Brian. Good to see you, my friend. Welcome aboard, Thank you. Mainstream media can no longer deny the verification of Hunter Biden's laptop.

Oh no, But managing editor at the Chicago Thinker, Avida Duffy was able to interview some of the journalists who denied the massive story for the past few years. She'll tell us what they had to say. It's quite amusing. That's coming up. Let's talk about the newest sponsor here at Hold the Line, this silencer shop. I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment.

We'll be right back with more all the line. Since the New York Times the Washington Post, ever so courageously, oh yeah, verified hundred Biden's laptop because it was already verified, but whatever, journalists in the mainstream media can no longer deny its authenticity, at least in public. So what is their excuse for failing to acknowledge the scandal for all

this time? Well, one Atlantic writer and Applebaum also Russia collusion, truth or lunatic says it was because it just wasn't interesting. Check this one out. My problem with Hunter Biden's laptop is I think totally irrelevant. I mean, it's not whether it's disinformation or I mean, I didn't think the Hunter Biden's business relationships have anything to do with who should be president of the United States. So I didn't find I don't find it to be interesting. He doesn't find

it to be interesting. Oh okay. Our next guest is a U Chicago student who attended that event you just saw the clip from, says she doesn't buy this elitist narrative coming from the MSM in general mainstream media. We've got managing editor at the Chicago Thinker, Evita Duffy, who joins me now with reaction. Evita, good to see it, Good to see you. Thank you. So what was it like at this event where you had a disinformation conference.

I know you guys have gotten a lot of conservative media coverage about this, a disinformation conference run by the Atlantic magazine. People like that, you get fake news Stelter. They're a bunch of others, and you and some of your colleagues got to ask some questions about their fake news. How did it go right? So this is a disinformation event that was put on by some of the greatest

purveyor of disinformation in America. So the The Insuit of Politics ran this event with The Atlantic and David Axelrodi really brought in experts on the subject, and our Chicago Thinker student journalists came to ask them not got your questions, but really honest questions about the way that they have botched every major story over the last couple of years and have a major agenda over and so they they've really proved, you know, how how bad they are by

by not actually you know, coming clean and apologizing for what they've done, but actually being dismissive of the students who asked some questions. You saw how elitist and appam was. And in another clip, Brian Stelter was of one of my other Chicago Thinker colleagues. And then later on towards the end of the event, the editor in chief of The Atlantic actually said that the Chicago Thinkers reporting on this entire event constitutes a disinformation campaign on social media.

So it's obvious that disinformation isn't actually disinformation, it's just information they don't like, and they're actually even willing to try and silence a little Chicago student newspaper for embarrassing them publicly. Here we go. We got some great clips, some highlights, if you will, from the disinformation event actly named, but not in the way they thought. Here is Amy Klobashaw refusing to answer a question from you, miss Duffy.

Let's let the audience enjoy who introduced the bill that you talked about today that would punish social media companies like Facebook and Twitter for having health misinformation on their platforms. And I'm going to ask you if I were to say that there are only two sexes, male and female, would that be considered misinformation that you think should be banned speech on social media platforms? Okay, I'm not going

to get into what misinformation. First of all, I think the bill you're talking about is different than the one we asleep been talking about, So I want to make that clear. We've been talking about the competition bill, but there is another bill that I have on vaccine misinformation. It is that specific in a public health crisis. Okay, but I don't I feel like there wasn't an answer to your question. Was there an answer your question did it come later? Answer? And you should. I mean, it's

your bill. You should know what kind of misinformation is going to be considered misinformation in your own bill. So it was a complete non answer. Here is Brian Stelter, who sometimes I think just exists so that conservative media has the ultimate left wing media journal guy to just hold up and let everyone see. This is who they say is calling balls and strikes on journalism ethics. Here he is responding when he was asked about his network's

ethics and the history of its misinformation. Let's look at this one. My honest answer to you and I will all come over and talk in more detail after this is that I think you're describing a different channel than the one that I watch. But I understand that that is a popular right wing narrative about CNN. I think it's important we're talking about shared reality and democracy. All these networks, all these news outlets, have to defend democracy

and when they screw up, admit it. But when Benjamin Hall, the Fox correspondent was wounded in Ukraine, the news crews at CNN and The New York Times stopped what they were doing and they tried to help. They tried to help him get out of the country. They tried to find the dead crew members. That's what news outlets do, that's how they actually do work together. To your question about sharing those kinds of connections and trust, yeah, watching

a different channel. I don't know what channel he thinks he works for, but it's not CNN apparently, if that's what he thinks. No, of course not. And I mean

this is so embarrassing for the mainstream media. This entire event has been just an utter and complete embarrassment and the fact that they're trying to I mean, An Applebaum, who was from that first clip, has actually blocked the Chicago Thinker on Twitter, and then Jonah Goldberg doubled down and defended her, essentially saying that you know that Daniel Schmidt's question to her to Anne Ababama was trollish. I mean, these people are losing their minds over us posting clips

of their full answers. This is not disinformation. This is just straight up journalism that they're now trying to smear. Oh yes they are. I mean, here's the Atlantic editor in chief. This guy's a real windbag who calls the Chicago Thinker where you write, and they're reporting on the disinformation events, right, it was a disinformation seminar of sorts, or from symposium or whatever. They say that you guys

were doing a disinformation campaign. Watch. I think one darkly humorous but inevitable measurement of our success is that our disinformation conference has been the subject of disinformation campaigns on social media already. So, yeah, congratulate yourselves for that. Well, we'll study that next year's disinformation again. What was the disinformation exactly? I'm just wondering. I mean, that's the title of the conference. It's like they don't know what it is. Yeah,

I mean that's what I've been saying. It's not disinformation, it's just information they don't like and information that's been embarrassing for them. And I think it's important to talk about what they want to do with the disinformation that they're so concerned about. They want to give government algorithmic control over social media platforms to stop the spread of whatever they deem misinformation and who's going to decide what's true and what's not And the answer is they are.

They want to have the gate keeping power that they lost when social media democratized information and independent journalists became a thing. And if you watch Tucker last night, you saw that, and we saw that in Canada, they're actually having the government a preapproved journalist and decide who has the ability to spread their information online and who doesn't. And I don't know. I mean this, this conference is kind of telling me that it's it might be coming

here soon and so disinformation right now. It should be the scariest word in the dictionary. Anybody that hears that word, you know that they're not talking about trying to find the truth. They're trying to stop. They're talking about trying to shut down people they don't like. Good to see, avida and good work, appreciate it. A preschool teacher claimed she makes her students choose new pronoun pins every day to teach about diversity. They say they are in adoptrinating

your kids, folks. We'll have that video for you. And quick hits stay with us. America's Treasury secretary goes full blown climate alarmist, and a job listing shows just how out of touch the Washington Post is with average Americans. We've got those stories coming up in quick hits. Let's get right to it. Um yelling Treasury secretary. He knows the FED stuff well. Right, So she's been a longstanding person involved in monetary policy and the government and all

the rest of this stuff. Right, She's somebody who you think knows about this stuff. And here's the thing, she's also a liberal zealot in her own way. You have to remember this. So even some of the people who are knowledgeable about economics at some level, knowledgeable about FED policy monetary policy inflation obviously hasn't done a great job stopping that from happening. But you see what their politics

are on other issues. You understand. Oh, even in areas where they have expertise at some level, they're being influenced by their left wing agenda. Here is the Treasury secretary worried that the window is closing to decarbonize our Economy's quatch. The recent IPCC reports confirm that our window of opportunity to weave our planet worthy of our children and children

it's even closer to being permanently shut. We must redouble our efforts to decarbonize our economies, recognizing the countries will use a range of tools, including carbon pricing, regulation and subsidies to achieve needed emission reductions. Green socialism, that's what she's really talking about. Green socialism. That's what you want. Carbon pricing. You're gonna pay extra money because you're living life in a modern economy and having to give me friends.

Right outrageous. But this is how crazy the left is. Even the Treasury Secretary buys into this green new deal Lunacy. Washington Post tweeted out quite a job listing for a reporter to cover this foreign country far far away that the Libs don't understand, called Texas. Job posting. The Washington Post is looking for an enterprising reporter based in Texas to document life in Red State America and develop a new beat mapping the culture, public policies, and politics and

a region shaped by conservative ideology. You know, it's it's almost like they're going out there to you know, study, you know, study a pot of dolphins in the wild. There's like red state Texans, isn't it? This is mean? Look, I actually think it's good that the journos might try to learn what it's like for people who live in the rest of the country to live their lives in places that are read and I think it's funny. It's just though an admission of the fact that they just

have no idea. I mean, they do live in this alternative universe a lot of soy Lante's being consumed. Preschool teacher here says she makes her four year olds pick a different pronoun pen not once in a while, every day. Hi, my name's us and I'm a preschool teacher. So my classroom celebrates diversity. It's probably my favorite thing to teach. We usually use kids books to talk about this kind

of thing. Recently we started wearing pronoun pins and the kids get to pick a new pronoun pin every We have something that picked like she her every single day, and we have something that change it up. So diversity is really important in my crime. So I recently realized that there's a whole lot of really amazing figureheads and people to look up to in this world who aren't white or straight, or male or what have you, and that we should learn a little bit more about these people.

They are trying to indocunate your kids. Obviously, obviously that's ever Tonight's hold the Line the Nose Spinoos of BILLI Radio's next builds high
