Barack Obama in August of last year quote in the first 100 days of my Administration I will travel to a major Islamic forum and deliver an address to redefine our struggle I will make clear that we will stand with those who are willing to stand stand up for their future and that we need their efforts to defeat the profits of hate and violence close quote what do you make of those two I I think Barack Obama has a lot more faith in the in in verbal uh uh interactions than than than I would what he’s proposing under the guise of of change is what was what has been tried for Deca for two decades between the two world war wars and which failed disastrously and helping to bring on the second world war Barack Obama’s plan for defense spending as of last year quoting I’m quoting him quoting a speech I’ll stop spending 9 billion a month in Iraq I will cut tens of billions in wasteful spending I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems I will not weaponize space I will slow our development of future combat systems and I will institute an independent defense priorities board to avoid unnecessary spending close quote well that that’s straight out of the 30s there were people who were saying Britain should not but the British labor party in in the early to mid-30s voted consistently against defense spending and they argue that uh our security does not allow of does not depend on armaments but on disarmament and so when when when Chamberlain went to uh Munich to talk to Hitler it wasn’t just the his own party the conservatives who applauded him when he came back it was it was the uh uh labor and liberals as well he was he was probably the most lionized man among Western leaders perhaps of the past Century you mentioned the uh I think you would call it a naive view of world affairs that he places a great deal of faith in a kind in rhetoric the ability of rhetoric to solve Global problems this reminds you of the 1930s it reminds you of Neville Chamberlain uh I read you a quotation of the notion of spreading the wealth around and again you said that’s perfectly pure socialist Doctrine from the 1930s is it would you argue that this man is the most left-wing or the uh the purest Embrace of the unconstrained Vision that we’ve seen in American politics since since when since the New Deal since the American politics really yes yes I mean even FDR uh you know pulled back on some things but uh Obama really he he he does have the unconstrained Vision which is really an elitist Vision it says I know what is the best to be done and I will do do it uh when he says I will change the world you realize this is a man who’s actually accomplished nothing other than advancing his career through rhetoric and and he it reminds me of of a sophomore uh in college you know who thinks that he can run the world because he’s never had to run anything and you can believe that only until you have uh personal responsibility for consequences and that’s when it gives you a little bit of uh of humility why don’t the American people see through that isn’t that the fundamental bet that the founders made that the cons on that that voters would see through ultimately they’d see through nonsense yes but that that was before nonsense became a a large part of the curriculum of our educational institutions I was talking about this with a colleague of ours the other day Tom mcer who’s an economist here at the Hoover institution and Tom said well remember what happened when Bill Clinton became president his point is the American people are about to get an extreme illustration of the way government intervention messes things up Bill Clinton offered only a mild illustration and yet even under Bill Clinton it was only two years before Republicans before there was enough of a backlash response that Republicans took both houses of Congress away and and and the man was boxed in from that point forward that’s a pretty optimistic reading of what might happen in fact very optimistic very optimistic yes because uh uh there are there is such a thing as a point of no return uh and if if and and if in those if if in those two first two years Iran gets nuclear weapons we will be at that point of no return and the next generation will live under that same threat and as far out as the eye can see and sometimes people who get who are very clever say it’s just as well to let these guys get in there and discredit themselves then we’ll win on the backlash people said that when Hitler was arising in Germany and many of those people who said that died in the concentration camps uh so uh which which is a smaller tragedy than a nation dying in a sense before the primaries had ended you wrote Hillary Clinton versus John McCain I wouldn’t know whether to vote libertarian or mov to Australia now we know it’s Barack Obama versus John McCain you’ll vote for John McCain but hold your nose what is your what’s your fun yes the difference is the the Clint the clintons had the Saving Grace of uh utter lack of principle which meant that when when when they so which way the political winds were were blowing uh that’s the way they’d go regardless of what they’ been saying before uh this man has been a far-left ideologue for 20 years and I by and not just uh a matter of ideology I mean people who are truly vile people we’re not talking about just people have a certain Theory B bill I mean Acorn I’m talking thuggery as the way to get your ideas across uh uh you know father fagel you know you go through go down the list uh and uh I judge people by what they’ve done not by what they say particularly when what they say is the direct opposite of what they’ve done so that uh no I think this man really does believe that he that he can change the world and people like that are infinitely more dangerous than mere uh crooked politicians final question let’s suppose that the Wall Street Journal is right let’s suppose that Barack Obama wins and that the Democrats pick up increas their majorities in both the house and the Senate let’s oppose all of that what would be your advice to young people dedicated to free markets individual liberty and broadly speaking to the constrainted vision that you write about in a conflict of Visions what do you do if something like this happens you do whatever you what whatever you find you can do under those conditions which you can only learn by experience but it’s a little like saying what advice you give to someone on death row when they come to take him down to the gas chamber

Truly Right View: Advocating for Free Speech in the Age of Political Censorship

Introduction: What is Free Speech Today?

In a world where political discourse is dominated by big tech, cable news, and social media influencers, free speech is constantly under threat. From censorship of conservative viewpoints to the silencing of dissent on controversial issues, we are witnessing an alarming trend of restrictions on the most fundamental rights of any citizen in our Constitutional Republic: the right to speak freely.

But what does free speech truly mean in today’s context? Are we protecting it, or are we allowing authoritarian ideologies like socialism, communism, fascism, and dictatorships to erode it?

The Constitutional Perspective: Why Free Speech is Non-Negotiable

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is crystal clear: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” The Founding Fathers understood the importance of free speech in preserving a free society. Without it, the ability to challenge government, expose corruption, and advocate for truth would be crushed.

Yet today, under the guise of protecting people from “misinformation” and “hate speech,” powerful institutions are curbing our ability to express ideas that do not conform to their narratives.

Do we not see this as a slippery slope toward authoritarianism?

Shouldn’t we, as citizens, be the ones who decide what we can or cannot hear, not a centralized body or corporation?

Social Media and Cable News: Platforms or Gatekeepers?

Social media was once hailed as the bastion of free speech. It allowed ordinary individuals to share their thoughts, advocate for causes, and hold the powerful accountable. However, over the years, major platforms like Twitter (now X), Facebook, and YouTube have become gatekeepers rather than facilitators of free expression.

Algorithms favor certain ideologies, while alternative viewpoints—especially those with a more conservative or constitutional slant—are shadow-banned, demonetized, or outright censored.

Does this not resemble the tactics of monarchies, communistic or fascist regimes that control what their citizens can see and hear?

Shouldn’t a true democracy allow the free flow of ideas, even if those ideas challenge the status quo?

Social Media Influencers: Fighters for Freedom or Puppets of Censorship?

Many social media influencers, especially those aligned with constitutional values, have become modern-day warriors for free speech. Yet, they face intense backlash, censorship, and de-platforming for voicing opinions that challenge globalist or left-leaning narratives.

How many times have we seen influential voices banned simply for questioning government policies, election results, or health mandates?

Isn’t it concerning that only a select group of elites can decide what is “acceptable” discourse?

While some influencers fall in line with these restrictive policies, others have emerged as champions for free speech, using their platforms to resist censorship and uphold constitutional rights. The question is: Will we support these voices, or will we allow them to be drowned out by corporate and governmental censorship?

The Dangers of Socialism, Communism, and Fascism: A Threat to Free Speech

At the heart of socialism, communism, and fascism lies a common tactic—control over speech. These ideologies have historically sought to suppress dissent, limit expression, and create a monolithic narrative that favors those in power.

Look no further than authoritarian regimes past and present, where dissenters are imprisoned, media is state-controlled, and free speech is criminalized. Can we really ignore the striking similarities between these oppressive ideologies and the current state of political discourse in America?

Is the suppression of speech today not a precursor to more draconian measures tomorrow?

Should we not fight to preserve the right to freely express political, social, and economic ideas?
