<v Speaker 1>a great man. Going to talk to us a bit

0:00:28.377 --> 0:00:33.777
<v Speaker 1>about censorship in politics and also the samas Dot Prize

<v Speaker 1>gala at the Breakers in Palm Beach, So I'm actually

0:00:36.937 --> 0:00:38.217
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to. A bunch of my friends will be there.

0:00:38.217 --> 0:00:40.577
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about this big event why it is so

0:00:40.777 --> 0:00:43.257
<v Speaker 1>important in the era we live in. David, first, tell

0:00:43.297 --> 0:00:44.777
<v Speaker 1>us about samas dot and welcome.

0:00:46.457 --> 0:00:49.817
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me Buck. Samas Dot is Russian for

0:00:49.897 --> 0:00:53.337
<v Speaker 2>underground publishing. You know, sadly, we're going to do this

0:00:53.457 --> 0:00:56.217
<v Speaker 2>on the eve of the State of the Union. This

0:00:56.257 --> 0:00:57.737
<v Speaker 2>is going to be our own State of the Union

0:00:57.777 --> 0:01:01.177
<v Speaker 2>where we really think that, you know, we're moving in

0:01:01.177 --> 0:01:03.777
<v Speaker 2>a direction that's bad with regards to one of our

0:01:03.817 --> 0:01:07.057
<v Speaker 2>founding cornerstones of the way we should conduct our lives

0:01:07.097 --> 0:01:10.337
<v Speaker 2>in our politics, the First Amendment. And you know, we

0:01:10.457 --> 0:01:13.497
<v Speaker 2>really think that, you know, the First Amendment is not

0:01:13.657 --> 0:01:16.937
<v Speaker 2>trending well and we want to praise those uh, you know,

0:01:17.057 --> 0:01:19.537
<v Speaker 2>intrepid souls that stand up for the rest of us

0:01:19.897 --> 0:01:21.137
<v Speaker 2>so we can remain free.

0:01:21.817 --> 0:01:22.897
<v Speaker 1>What is samas don.

0:01:24.577 --> 0:01:27.977
<v Speaker 2>As I said, it's it's Russian for underground publishing. You know,

0:01:28.377 --> 0:01:30.857
<v Speaker 2>it was the give me.

0:01:30.857 --> 0:01:32.297
<v Speaker 1>The history, Give me the history a little bit, tell

0:01:32.297 --> 0:01:33.097
<v Speaker 1>me a little bit about it.

0:01:33.417 --> 0:01:36.817
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was, uh, you know the reason you know,

0:01:37.257 --> 0:01:41.857
<v Speaker 2>the Gulag Archipelago souls and Eatson, the lie killer that

0:01:42.097 --> 0:01:45.417
<v Speaker 2>was that book had to be smuggled into their own countries.

0:01:45.497 --> 0:01:48.817
<v Speaker 2>So the greatest dissident thinkers that we have come to

0:01:48.897 --> 0:01:53.257
<v Speaker 2>know that really challenged the lie that was Soviet communism.

0:01:53.337 --> 0:01:55.937
<v Speaker 2>And you know, and even in any type of regime

0:01:56.457 --> 0:01:58.417
<v Speaker 2>that is suffering from material of the mind.

0:01:58.537 --> 0:02:00.097
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you can see Vakloff hovel.

0:02:00.497 --> 0:02:03.017
<v Speaker 2>You know it's you had to get under you know,

0:02:03.097 --> 0:02:06.137
<v Speaker 2>you went underground to get above ground. And what we

0:02:06.177 --> 0:02:09.297
<v Speaker 2>see is happening in our own country sadly something you know,

0:02:09.337 --> 0:02:12.457
<v Speaker 2>a country that's been committed to the First Amendment for

0:02:12.457 --> 0:02:15.097
<v Speaker 2>as long as I've known in my lifetime, has made

0:02:15.097 --> 0:02:17.697
<v Speaker 2>a dangerous turn away from it. And you know, we

0:02:17.777 --> 0:02:20.777
<v Speaker 2>want to call attention to that turn. Show people the

0:02:20.857 --> 0:02:23.297
<v Speaker 2>trajectory of where we're going. If we don't stand up

0:02:23.337 --> 0:02:25.297
<v Speaker 2>to it now, it's not going to get better, it's

0:02:25.337 --> 0:02:26.977
<v Speaker 2>going to get worse. And what we want to do

0:02:27.177 --> 0:02:31.977
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday, March seventh is to highlight, you know, three

0:02:32.017 --> 0:02:35.017
<v Speaker 2>intrepid people that we think kind of show what a

0:02:35.097 --> 0:02:39.057
<v Speaker 2>real clear presentation of you know, First Amendment courages.

0:02:40.737 --> 0:02:44.057
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think it is that in this era

0:02:44.377 --> 0:02:47.017
<v Speaker 1>of increasing censorship, And I think it's obvious when you

0:02:47.057 --> 0:02:49.657
<v Speaker 1>look at the social media companies the different policies that

0:02:49.657 --> 0:02:53.537
<v Speaker 1>they have, that the censorship is highly part is in

0:02:53.577 --> 0:02:59.617
<v Speaker 1>and very active. Journalists aren't speaking out in general. I

0:02:59.657 --> 0:03:02.137
<v Speaker 1>know there are exceptions. You're honoring some of the exceptions

0:03:02.137 --> 0:03:07.297
<v Speaker 1>at your gallo, but journalists aren't speaking out and saying, yeah,

0:03:07.337 --> 0:03:11.097
<v Speaker 1>the First Amendment, irrespective of politics, is really hortant for us,

0:03:11.217 --> 0:03:13.337
<v Speaker 1>and we need to defend free speech, even if it's

0:03:13.377 --> 0:03:14.937
<v Speaker 1>the free speech that a lot of people don't want

0:03:14.937 --> 0:03:15.177
<v Speaker 1>to hear.

0:03:16.537 --> 0:03:20.457
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there was an Atlantic study that came out a

0:03:20.497 --> 0:03:23.097
<v Speaker 2>while ago that just really kind of captured our, I

0:03:23.137 --> 0:03:27.217
<v Speaker 2>think our modern problem. That's the higher level of education

0:03:27.337 --> 0:03:30.657
<v Speaker 2>that you have, the less tolerant you are of other views,

0:03:31.057 --> 0:03:33.417
<v Speaker 2>and then when you take that and you put it

0:03:33.457 --> 0:03:37.737
<v Speaker 2>into a university system that just by itself self selects.

0:03:38.057 --> 0:03:43.817
<v Speaker 2>We've raised the generation of people that really, their policy

0:03:43.937 --> 0:03:48.257
<v Speaker 2>towards the First Amendment is anti American. It seems uncharacteristically

0:03:48.937 --> 0:03:52.417
<v Speaker 2>out of the American mainstream where I think it's forty

0:03:52.417 --> 0:03:56.697
<v Speaker 2>percent of millennials, you know, against free speech. And if

0:03:56.697 --> 0:03:59.817
<v Speaker 2>you want to just go give a contrast to the

0:03:59.897 --> 0:04:03.297
<v Speaker 2>people who actually fought communists, who fought fascism, you know,

0:04:03.937 --> 0:04:05.817
<v Speaker 2>you know, they came back and you know, and their

0:04:05.857 --> 0:04:07.857
<v Speaker 2>attitudes going to their dying grave.

0:04:07.737 --> 0:04:08.657
<v Speaker 3>Is thirteen percent.

0:04:09.017 --> 0:04:11.177
<v Speaker 2>So there's been a movement in the American mind and

0:04:11.257 --> 0:04:15.497
<v Speaker 2>American culture and the American establishment where to your point,

0:04:15.537 --> 0:04:20.417
<v Speaker 2>it's like the fourth estate really is is you know,

0:04:20.577 --> 0:04:24.297
<v Speaker 2>does not have a commitment to First Amendment liberty, maybe

0:04:24.377 --> 0:04:27.617
<v Speaker 2>for them, but not for the I would describe it

0:04:27.657 --> 0:04:31.057
<v Speaker 2>as and it's a dangerous it's a dangerous trend. And

0:04:31.297 --> 0:04:34.337
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's it's awful when you know, the oldest

0:04:34.337 --> 0:04:37.417
<v Speaker 2>newspaper in America, the New York Post, can actually be

0:04:37.497 --> 0:04:41.417
<v Speaker 2>shut down on Twitter. And it's too it's not to

0:04:41.857 --> 0:04:44.817
<v Speaker 2>it's a it was a combination of silence and applause

0:04:44.897 --> 0:04:47.377
<v Speaker 2>and silence is a problem, but the applause if it

0:04:47.417 --> 0:04:48.617
<v Speaker 2>was problematic as well.

0:04:49.497 --> 0:04:51.857
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as we know, not only is their censorship, but

0:04:51.937 --> 0:04:56.737
<v Speaker 1>their censorship based on the premise that something is disinformation

0:04:56.937 --> 0:05:00.777
<v Speaker 1>because it is false, and the people pushing that as

0:05:00.817 --> 0:05:03.617
<v Speaker 1>the basis for the censorship don't seem the least bit

0:05:03.817 --> 0:05:06.897
<v Speaker 1>self aware, don't seem to care at all when it

0:05:06.977 --> 0:05:09.177
<v Speaker 1>comes out that what they said is false is actually

0:05:09.257 --> 0:05:11.697
<v Speaker 1>true one hundred Biden laptop the New York Post being

0:05:11.737 --> 0:05:14.337
<v Speaker 1>one of the best examples of this or clearest examples

0:05:14.337 --> 0:05:14.577
<v Speaker 1>of this.

0:05:15.617 --> 0:05:18.177
<v Speaker 2>The three folks that we've kind of singled out to

0:05:18.177 --> 0:05:22.497
<v Speaker 2>get these awards, I think capture that. So we have

0:05:22.657 --> 0:05:25.617
<v Speaker 2>doctor j. Boticharia. You know, so he was the guy

0:05:25.657 --> 0:05:29.297
<v Speaker 2>who stood up to Fauci and said, hey, the scientific method,

0:05:29.417 --> 0:05:34.057
<v Speaker 2>can we stand a crisis? And everything that his ex experiences,

0:05:34.337 --> 0:05:36.777
<v Speaker 2>you know, in terms of even you know, in terms

0:05:36.777 --> 0:05:39.137
<v Speaker 2>of the science, was that you know, where we were

0:05:39.177 --> 0:05:42.217
<v Speaker 2>going was the wrong way. He was treated very poorly.

0:05:42.577 --> 0:05:44.617
<v Speaker 2>He was treated very poorly, not just by the press,

0:05:44.737 --> 0:05:47.577
<v Speaker 2>not just by the politicians, but by his own profession.

0:05:48.177 --> 0:05:51.337
<v Speaker 2>And lo and behold, what do we see history of

0:05:51.417 --> 0:05:53.657
<v Speaker 2>vindicated him? Like he was the one that was on

0:05:53.737 --> 0:05:56.017
<v Speaker 2>the right side. You know, he was put up as

0:05:56.097 --> 0:05:58.577
<v Speaker 2>like a Monkish superstition, and then all of a sudden

0:05:58.617 --> 0:06:01.657
<v Speaker 2>it turns out that Fauci was the pope, and you know,

0:06:01.897 --> 0:06:03.657
<v Speaker 2>doctor j he was Galileo.

0:06:05.217 --> 0:06:07.897
<v Speaker 1>As we know how that turned out turned out.

0:06:07.977 --> 0:06:09.977
<v Speaker 2>And the same go yeah, and the same goes for

0:06:10.497 --> 0:06:12.457
<v Speaker 2>the other two that we picked. We you know, getting

0:06:12.497 --> 0:06:14.657
<v Speaker 2>to the example that I brought up both the New

0:06:14.737 --> 0:06:18.737
<v Speaker 2>York Post and Miranda Divine. You know, Miranda is our

0:06:18.817 --> 0:06:22.057
<v Speaker 2>other recipient. And you know, in my response there is

0:06:22.657 --> 0:06:25.657
<v Speaker 2>if someone gave you that laptom, you know, if you

0:06:25.697 --> 0:06:29.377
<v Speaker 2>didn't accept that and jump into it with the responsibility

0:06:29.417 --> 0:06:32.137
<v Speaker 2>that comes with being a representative of the Fourth Amendment,

0:06:32.297 --> 0:06:34.817
<v Speaker 2>you'd be a hack. And the same for Matt to

0:06:34.857 --> 0:06:37.217
<v Speaker 2>hebe the other gentleman who was receiving it. It's that,

0:06:37.817 --> 0:06:40.817
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you get invited into Elon's uh you

0:06:40.857 --> 0:06:44.257
<v Speaker 2>know twitter x. Now, if you get an invitation there

0:06:44.337 --> 0:06:46.817
<v Speaker 2>and you get to look behind the veil, you see

0:06:46.817 --> 0:06:51.337
<v Speaker 2>this alphabet soup of really you know, you know, violations

0:06:51.337 --> 0:06:52.217
<v Speaker 2>of the First Amendment.

0:06:52.217 --> 0:06:53.897
<v Speaker 3>You know, the government's not supposed to.

0:06:53.777 --> 0:06:56.897
<v Speaker 2>Do it, regardless of whether a private company wants them

0:06:56.937 --> 0:06:57.297
<v Speaker 2>to do it.

0:06:57.497 --> 0:06:58.857
<v Speaker 3>They're not allowed to do that.

0:06:59.577 --> 0:07:01.657
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I think you see in the journalists

0:07:01.657 --> 0:07:04.657
<v Speaker 2>that we picked, the differences between them are of degree

0:07:04.657 --> 0:07:07.217
<v Speaker 2>and not kind, which is what a healthy difference within

0:07:07.337 --> 0:07:10.937
<v Speaker 2>journalism should be. You know, Matt and Miranda to share,

0:07:11.297 --> 0:07:13.777
<v Speaker 2>you know, share profession and ethics and a sense of

0:07:14.457 --> 0:07:18.537
<v Speaker 2>fearless reporting. And sadly, you know that type of reporting

0:07:18.617 --> 0:07:19.897
<v Speaker 2>is being attacked at scale.

0:07:21.137 --> 0:07:23.657
<v Speaker 1>We'll get back into where this all goes, especially in

0:07:23.697 --> 0:07:26.337
<v Speaker 1>the era of AI here in just a second. But

0:07:26.377 --> 0:07:28.617
<v Speaker 1>first off, you know, I hear that some people are

0:07:28.617 --> 0:07:30.817
<v Speaker 1>still on the fence about owning gold and silver, and

0:07:31.017 --> 0:07:33.057
<v Speaker 1>that just doesn't make sense to me. Have we already

0:07:33.057 --> 0:07:37.337
<v Speaker 1>forgotten about regional bank closures, inflation, global instability, and the

0:07:37.337 --> 0:07:41.617
<v Speaker 1>potential for major catastrophe on the world stage that will

0:07:41.617 --> 0:07:44.017
<v Speaker 1>affect the value of the US dollar. Well, you can

0:07:44.057 --> 0:07:46.217
<v Speaker 1>look to precious metals for a whole range of regions.

0:07:46.257 --> 0:07:49.737
<v Speaker 1>One having tangible currency on hand, a bug out plant.

0:07:49.777 --> 0:07:53.697
<v Speaker 1>Two portfolio diversification, hedge against inflation, and then as a

0:07:53.697 --> 0:07:56.977
<v Speaker 1>store of value because historically gold increases in value over time.

0:07:57.417 --> 0:07:59.937
<v Speaker 1>I know you're paying attention to global events, wars bubbling

0:08:00.017 --> 0:08:03.137
<v Speaker 1>up everywhere countries are buying in mass and hoarding massive

0:08:03.137 --> 0:08:05.537
<v Speaker 1>amounts of gold, So why don't you get some gold

0:08:05.577 --> 0:08:08.537
<v Speaker 1>and silver on hand yourself. Nobody can break the future,

0:08:08.577 --> 0:08:10.537
<v Speaker 1>but we can't put our heads in the sand either.

0:08:10.617 --> 0:08:13.497
<v Speaker 1>It's time to take action. The Oxford Gold Group are pros.

0:08:13.817 --> 0:08:16.417
<v Speaker 1>They'll help you get gold and silver on hand. I

0:08:16.457 --> 0:08:18.497
<v Speaker 1>have gold and silver on hand from the Oxford Gold Group.

0:08:18.537 --> 0:08:20.577
<v Speaker 1>I think you should too. Call them right now. You

0:08:20.577 --> 0:08:22.977
<v Speaker 1>may qualify for up to ten thousand dollars in free

0:08:22.977 --> 0:08:26.297
<v Speaker 1>precious metals. Call eight three three nine nine five gold.

0:08:26.377 --> 0:08:30.697
<v Speaker 1>That's eight three three nine nine five gold. Eight three

0:08:30.817 --> 0:08:36.137
<v Speaker 1>three nine nine five gold. What do people on the right, David,

0:08:36.177 --> 0:08:39.097
<v Speaker 1>what should they do? What should we do about the

0:08:39.137 --> 0:08:42.977
<v Speaker 1>fact that now censorship is Yes, it's top down, it's

0:08:43.017 --> 0:08:47.337
<v Speaker 1>government and private sector colluding. That there's all. But it's

0:08:47.377 --> 0:08:51.017
<v Speaker 1>also increasingly mechanized. Right, it's not even necessarily a person.

0:08:51.137 --> 0:08:54.977
<v Speaker 1>It's a system that an algorithm that decides you're not

0:08:55.057 --> 0:08:58.057
<v Speaker 1>allowed to talk about something like what's the way forward.

0:08:59.617 --> 0:09:03.297
<v Speaker 2>I think that conservatives have to wake up to the

0:09:03.537 --> 0:09:07.857
<v Speaker 2>to really how this is being exercised against them. I mean,

0:09:07.897 --> 0:09:10.817
<v Speaker 2>the real surprise for us is that you know, for

0:09:10.897 --> 0:09:13.697
<v Speaker 2>your listeners who know Real Clear Politics. I mean, if

0:09:13.737 --> 0:09:15.777
<v Speaker 2>you know us, you know that we show both sides,

0:09:16.577 --> 0:09:18.737
<v Speaker 2>and you know, so we try to do our best

0:09:18.737 --> 0:09:21.857
<v Speaker 2>to give an accounting of the news, right and it's

0:09:21.897 --> 0:09:24.697
<v Speaker 2>always you know, we do our best to make it comparative.

0:09:24.817 --> 0:09:24.977
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:09:25.057 --> 0:09:29.217
<v Speaker 2>So you have two folks from you know, from prestigious

0:09:29.257 --> 0:09:32.337
<v Speaker 2>institutions saying the completely opposite thing about the same reality.

0:09:32.617 --> 0:09:37.537
<v Speaker 2>Let the reader decide. We found out in February of

0:09:37.657 --> 0:09:41.737
<v Speaker 2>last year, through some good report from Gabe Kaminski, that

0:09:42.857 --> 0:09:45.257
<v Speaker 2>what happened was that there was the state, our own

0:09:45.297 --> 0:09:48.697
<v Speaker 2>State Department was part of a you know, an international

0:09:48.697 --> 0:09:53.217
<v Speaker 2>funding group that gave money to companies whose purpose was

0:09:53.297 --> 0:09:59.017
<v Speaker 2>to kind of really censor American uh you know, viewpoint diversity.

0:09:59.497 --> 0:10:01.657
<v Speaker 2>And the way that they did it was by coming

0:10:01.697 --> 0:10:05.217
<v Speaker 2>up with a standard, you know, in ranking that these

0:10:05.617 --> 0:10:08.257
<v Speaker 2>these groups, News Guard being an American example of it,

0:10:08.617 --> 0:10:12.817
<v Speaker 2>uh GI, you know being another from a Bridge company.

0:10:12.817 --> 0:10:16.457
<v Speaker 2>Global Disinformation Index is what it stands for. And Real

0:10:16.497 --> 0:10:19.857
<v Speaker 2>Clear Politics found itself on a top ten list of

0:10:19.937 --> 0:10:24.137
<v Speaker 2>disinformation and the purpose of this was to really have

0:10:24.257 --> 0:10:29.617
<v Speaker 2>censorship through advertise advertising starvation. So if you know, if

0:10:29.657 --> 0:10:31.377
<v Speaker 2>you have a media mind. You know, if you have

0:10:31.417 --> 0:10:33.457
<v Speaker 2>a flavor of the media, if you like real clear,

0:10:33.777 --> 0:10:36.017
<v Speaker 2>if you like your show, you like any of the

0:10:36.057 --> 0:10:39.017
<v Speaker 2>things that you take for granted, out there is existing.

0:10:40.017 --> 0:10:44.057
<v Speaker 2>They are behind the scenes being browned out through advertising starvation.

0:10:44.337 --> 0:10:47.337
<v Speaker 2>So I think that this is you know, first of all,

0:10:47.337 --> 0:10:49.577
<v Speaker 2>it's illegal for the you know, for own government to

0:10:49.697 --> 0:10:53.097
<v Speaker 2>do this. I think these cut out these companies that

0:10:53.137 --> 0:10:55.697
<v Speaker 2>are going out and doing this, like NewsGuard and GDI

0:10:55.817 --> 0:10:59.177
<v Speaker 2>are bad. Uh. You know, Soros has an effort called

0:10:59.297 --> 0:11:02.417
<v Speaker 2>check my Ads that if you don't follow this advice,

0:11:02.537 --> 0:11:04.857
<v Speaker 2>if you don't you know, you know, feed on the

0:11:04.897 --> 0:11:08.297
<v Speaker 2>diet that they want for media advertising. They go after

0:11:08.377 --> 0:11:10.457
<v Speaker 2>the companies that are you know, in fall in it.

0:11:10.977 --> 0:11:11.617
<v Speaker 3>There is uh.

0:11:12.177 --> 0:11:16.577
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there is probably sixty public universities and private

0:11:16.657 --> 0:11:20.537
<v Speaker 2>universities that are engaged in this. It's being funded by philanthropy.

0:11:20.937 --> 0:11:24.217
<v Speaker 2>It's trickling down to everybody's schools. I mean, if you

0:11:24.457 --> 0:11:27.297
<v Speaker 2>if you really want a cartographer of this kind of

0:11:27.857 --> 0:11:31.977
<v Speaker 2>you know, censorship industrial complex. Uh, there's a gentleman, Mike

0:11:32.017 --> 0:11:34.537
<v Speaker 2>Ben's out there. You put in bends, you'll let you'll

0:11:34.537 --> 0:11:37.537
<v Speaker 2>get you'll get a quick education to what's happening. But

0:11:38.017 --> 0:11:41.017
<v Speaker 2>you know, let me just first state it's that real clear.

0:11:41.737 --> 0:11:45.777
<v Speaker 2>Was the only kind of centrist media independent outlet on

0:11:45.897 --> 0:11:48.057
<v Speaker 2>a list, But the nine other people that we were

0:11:48.137 --> 0:11:50.297
<v Speaker 2>keeping company with, they were all conservatives.

0:11:50.337 --> 0:11:52.097
<v Speaker 1>Well I want I want to get to that actually

0:11:52.137 --> 0:11:53.857
<v Speaker 1>and how And by the way, move a little to

0:11:53.857 --> 0:11:56.457
<v Speaker 1>your left, David, because you keep on believing get there

0:11:56.537 --> 0:11:59.097
<v Speaker 1>you go. You keep on disappearing from our video feed

0:11:59.257 --> 0:12:01.897
<v Speaker 1>entirely because you're so passionate about the First Amendment and

0:12:01.977 --> 0:12:04.857
<v Speaker 1>freedom of speech that you're you're out of the frame anyway.

0:12:05.777 --> 0:12:08.577
<v Speaker 1>One thing I think is very important for everyone to

0:12:08.617 --> 0:12:12.337
<v Speaker 1>recognize the the media used to play this game like

0:12:12.377 --> 0:12:17.337
<v Speaker 1>CNN was supposed to be center. It wasn't actually center,

0:12:17.537 --> 0:12:20.497
<v Speaker 1>but the game was we could have a place that

0:12:20.577 --> 0:12:23.337
<v Speaker 1>has this pretense of oh we hear from both sides.

0:12:23.377 --> 0:12:24.697
<v Speaker 1>Really was I mean I used to work there, so

0:12:24.697 --> 0:12:27.417
<v Speaker 1>I know conservatives get punched in the face and ridiculed,

0:12:27.457 --> 0:12:30.457
<v Speaker 1>but we have them on a little bit. And now

0:12:30.537 --> 0:12:33.377
<v Speaker 1>what we see is if you actually try to be

0:12:33.457 --> 0:12:37.217
<v Speaker 1>the center, that's not allowed, right because they got used

0:12:37.217 --> 0:12:40.577
<v Speaker 1>to a rigged game where oh yeah, we're just journalists,

0:12:40.617 --> 0:12:44.537
<v Speaker 1>we're neutral, we just provide people with no, that's unacceptable

0:12:44.537 --> 0:12:46.617
<v Speaker 1>to them. And if someone actually tries to do that,

0:12:46.657 --> 0:12:48.777
<v Speaker 1>and you're telling me that at real clear, part of

0:12:48.777 --> 0:12:50.937
<v Speaker 1>your mission is take the right, take the left, both

0:12:51.137 --> 0:12:54.697
<v Speaker 1>points of view, they will attack that too because they

0:12:54.737 --> 0:12:57.057
<v Speaker 1>don't want that to be out there, and they also

0:12:57.097 --> 0:12:59.257
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be held against that standard. They want

0:12:59.257 --> 0:13:01.257
<v Speaker 1>the rigged game, they want the silencing.

0:13:02.737 --> 0:13:08.297
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's you know, it really is clear that this

0:13:08.657 --> 0:13:12.537
<v Speaker 2>viewpoint diversity, which is exactly what people get on our page,

0:13:13.057 --> 0:13:15.297
<v Speaker 2>that is a problem. So there's a new form of

0:13:15.337 --> 0:13:18.257
<v Speaker 2>speech out there. I mean, you could call it safe speech,

0:13:18.297 --> 0:13:21.857
<v Speaker 2>you could call it worll speech, but it uses filters

0:13:22.017 --> 0:13:26.577
<v Speaker 2>like disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation to give something out there

0:13:26.617 --> 0:13:31.417
<v Speaker 2>that is quite frankly less and ideologically lopsided and partisan.

0:13:31.857 --> 0:13:35.857
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so we're on the blacklist. It's you know,

0:13:36.137 --> 0:13:39.977
<v Speaker 2>real clear, and nine conservative entities. You look at the

0:13:40.017 --> 0:13:44.297
<v Speaker 2>white list, it's nine liberal entities. In the Wall Street Journal.

0:13:44.737 --> 0:13:47.377
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you go back twenty years, you know,

0:13:47.417 --> 0:13:49.537
<v Speaker 2>the Wall Street Journal was the only game in town.

0:13:50.217 --> 0:13:52.897
<v Speaker 2>Now that's no longer the case. And the Wall Street

0:13:52.937 --> 0:13:56.337
<v Speaker 2>Journal's behind a paywall, so unless you pay, you don't see, right,

0:13:56.537 --> 0:13:58.617
<v Speaker 2>But they want to get to a world where it's

0:13:58.737 --> 0:14:02.617
<v Speaker 2>nine to one liberal progressive to conservative, and the only

0:14:02.697 --> 0:14:05.657
<v Speaker 2>conservative voice that's allowed to get any type of money

0:14:06.017 --> 0:14:09.017
<v Speaker 2>is the Wall Street Journal that's behind a paywall. You know,

0:14:09.297 --> 0:14:13.657
<v Speaker 2>that's the time of I mean mono media that I

0:14:13.777 --> 0:14:16.257
<v Speaker 2>think is going out there. And I think that the

0:14:16.297 --> 0:14:19.497
<v Speaker 2>folks out there, the conservatives who who like coming to

0:14:19.537 --> 0:14:22.257
<v Speaker 2>our site because they get to see both sides, you're

0:14:22.297 --> 0:14:25.457
<v Speaker 2>going to realize they're coming after us in order to

0:14:26.457 --> 0:14:32.417
<v Speaker 2>really fracture and break up what we curate every day.

0:14:32.497 --> 0:14:34.777
<v Speaker 2>I've mean, I would like to think at our best

0:14:34.897 --> 0:14:38.537
<v Speaker 2>that we present you know, the winning, you know, winning

0:14:38.617 --> 0:14:47.217
<v Speaker 2>ascendant face of an ascendant democratic, Republican, liberal, progressive, conservative viewpoints.

0:14:47.537 --> 0:14:48.497
<v Speaker 3>So we're just.

0:14:48.497 --> 0:14:50.697
<v Speaker 2>Capturing what we see to be out there. But it's

0:14:50.777 --> 0:14:53.537
<v Speaker 2>very clear that people don't like to see two sides

0:14:53.577 --> 0:14:57.537
<v Speaker 2>to anything. That there is an approved, approved subject matter,

0:14:57.537 --> 0:15:01.057
<v Speaker 2>there are approved outlets. And you know, my company is

0:15:01.097 --> 0:15:05.097
<v Speaker 2>being undermined because I you know, in my editors and

0:15:05.097 --> 0:15:07.657
<v Speaker 2>the folks that work with us, they believe in you

0:15:07.897 --> 0:15:09.977
<v Speaker 2>viewpoint diversity, and that's under attack.

0:15:10.097 --> 0:15:13.057
<v Speaker 3>And that's what we're going to be celebrating on March seventh. Well,

0:15:13.297 --> 0:15:14.577
<v Speaker 3>we'll heke it's still available.

0:15:14.817 --> 0:15:17.337
<v Speaker 1>Take your gov. We'll have a little word about that

0:15:17.377 --> 0:15:18.977
<v Speaker 1>here at the end, but first up, you know the tunnel.

0:15:18.977 --> 0:15:23.337
<v Speaker 1>The Towers Foundation continues to do good and make sure

0:15:23.377 --> 0:15:25.977
<v Speaker 1>we never forget. That means never forgetting nine to eleven,

0:15:26.057 --> 0:15:28.417
<v Speaker 1>never forgetting the soldiers and first responders who risk their

0:15:28.417 --> 0:15:31.137
<v Speaker 1>lives and bodies for our country and communities, and never

0:15:31.177 --> 0:15:33.697
<v Speaker 1>forgetting those who are sickened because of their service. The

0:15:33.697 --> 0:15:37.057
<v Speaker 1>Foundation is committed to helping those heroes and their families.

0:15:37.097 --> 0:15:41.137
<v Speaker 1>Heroes like retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Cardo's. Lieutenant

0:15:41.217 --> 0:15:44.577
<v Speaker 1>Cardos served his country for twenty years and received numerous commendations,

0:15:44.817 --> 0:15:47.457
<v Speaker 1>including a Bronze Star. During his time overseas, he was

0:15:47.497 --> 0:15:51.417
<v Speaker 1>exposed to toxic burn pits. Eighteen hours after being diagnosed

0:15:51.457 --> 0:15:54.137
<v Speaker 1>with service related cancer, he died. Telling the Towers then

0:15:54.137 --> 0:15:56.457
<v Speaker 1>paid off the mortgage on his family's home, enabling his

0:15:56.497 --> 0:15:58.497
<v Speaker 1>widow and their six children to stay in their home

0:15:58.697 --> 0:16:01.857
<v Speaker 1>and removing a financial burden. The foundation helps gold star

0:16:01.897 --> 0:16:05.777
<v Speaker 1>families and falling and families have fallen first responders, and

0:16:05.897 --> 0:16:08.617
<v Speaker 1>Telling the Towers is a fantastic organization of honored to

0:16:08.657 --> 0:16:11.657
<v Speaker 1>partner with help families like the Cardos donate eleven dollars

0:16:11.697 --> 0:16:13.537
<v Speaker 1>a month. The tunnel the towers at T two t

<v Speaker 1>dot org. That's t the number two T dot org.

0:16:17.737 --> 0:16:20.137
<v Speaker 1>All right, David, before we let you go, tell everybody

0:16:20.137 --> 0:16:23.657
<v Speaker 1>one more time where they can go for this very

0:16:23.697 --> 0:16:28.137
<v Speaker 1>worthy samas dot Awards event and where they should check

0:16:28.137 --> 0:16:29.137
<v Speaker 1>it out all that good stuff.

0:16:30.217 --> 0:16:32.417
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can find it on Real Clear. Any of

0:16:32.417 --> 0:16:34.697
<v Speaker 2>the Real Clear site should have an advertising up for it.

0:16:34.737 --> 0:16:37.897
<v Speaker 2>If you just type samas dot you can do it

0:16:37.977 --> 0:16:40.937
<v Speaker 2>is s A M I Z D E A T.

0:16:41.457 --> 0:16:43.737
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have it down at the Breakers March seventh,

0:16:43.737 --> 0:16:47.497
<v Speaker 2>this Thursday. There's still tickets available, and you know there's

0:16:47.617 --> 0:16:50.497
<v Speaker 2>one great reason to go, and it's because Buck Sexton

0:16:50.577 --> 0:16:52.297
<v Speaker 2>is going to be there.

0:16:51.457 --> 0:16:54.937
<v Speaker 3>I would and again I don't think you would mind.

0:16:55.057 --> 0:16:58.057
<v Speaker 2>It's like we're going to have we're going to honor

0:16:58.097 --> 0:17:00.137
<v Speaker 2>three people, but it's going to be a room full

0:17:00.177 --> 0:17:02.657
<v Speaker 2>of people that deserve the bird that we're going to

0:17:02.697 --> 0:17:04.497
<v Speaker 2>be giving out to the people there, as kind of

0:17:04.497 --> 0:17:07.257
<v Speaker 2>are saying, would just kind of turn it off this way.

0:17:07.537 --> 0:17:10.017
<v Speaker 2>We live in a society where we actually get more

0:17:10.097 --> 0:17:12.497
<v Speaker 2>of what we praise, and I think we have to

0:17:12.537 --> 0:17:14.977
<v Speaker 2>praise the First Amendment, that people have the courage for it.

0:17:15.417 --> 0:17:18.297
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Pubitur Prize has bent the arc of journalism,

0:17:18.377 --> 0:17:20.377
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think it's bent it the right way.

0:17:20.777 --> 0:17:22.857
<v Speaker 2>I think what we want to do is start something

0:17:23.257 --> 0:17:26.817
<v Speaker 2>this week, stand it up, and hopefully over time, not

0:17:26.857 --> 0:17:29.537
<v Speaker 2>only will we reward and praise the people who keep

0:17:29.617 --> 0:17:32.377
<v Speaker 2>us free, we might actually not actually have to go

0:17:32.457 --> 0:17:34.577
<v Speaker 2>underground and live in a Samostat world.

0:17:35.337 --> 0:17:39.297
<v Speaker 1>There we go, David de Roziers of Real Clear Politics.

0:17:39.657 --> 0:17:41.497
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir. I will see you Thursday. I hope

0:17:41.497 --> 0:17:43.217
<v Speaker 1>other people go check it out, and if they're in

0:17:43.257 --> 0:17:44.657
<v Speaker 1>the area or they want to be in the area

0:17:44.697 --> 0:17:47.097
<v Speaker 1>for it, go get yourself a ticket. It'll be fun.

0:17:48.177 --> 0:17:50.577
<v Speaker 3>A couple of rooms at my house from my closest friends.

0:17:51.217 --> 0:17:53.977
<v Speaker 1>David Bucks, my fancy moves on the dance floor. Thanks

0:17:53.977 --> 0:17:55.057
<v Speaker 1>so much, David. Good to see you.

0:17:55.897 --> 0:17:56.217
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:17:56.297 --> 0:17:56.537
<v Speaker 2>Byy
