and yes, hundreds of billions of dollars came flowing out the door to you credit and for a war the americans don't understand. we're being given a laughably simple narrative here. right? the ukraine is a bastion of democracy and the rush of this big bad enemy is trying to destroy it and reestablish the soviet union. and the problem is, as time goes on, fewer and fewer people, i think, believe that story now they don't know what the true story is because no one will tell them that that's what we're attempting to do. but they will, they do a realize is that there's something wrong with this narrative. and how can it be that we're being told that we're going to fund ukraine until the bitter end. but no one will tell us what the bitter end actually is. you did these policies and all of washington's business on the latest message to the us from the indian foreign minister in diplomacy. there isn't a ticket. ok. and people have minus nation should also have minus sometimes people's buy knows i'm not good enough. i'm afraid occasionally that is the case of

nation still. so when people with goods minus country is a good minus, i'm not expected to to comment on the politics of this. we communicated very clearly to the american acting a mess it up that we did a strong objection to what was said. and what was happening in india was not a concern for us any further. and from it just the mattress and box come in response to us comments on the reason. so rest of indian chief minister of delhi and the physician, sega, of, and coverage of washington has set. it encourages only as a quote to transparency legal process. we have to get a hold of the patient as a case of money laundering to this. the 1st sitting chief minister in the country's history to stand trial, new jersey based international f as x, but a have chris payne and told us that washington has a bad habit of meddling in the affairs of office. as india has never interested,

our lecture are those countries as to what they should do so far as getting been up there has been fun and us being a strategy and part of the deal. i think the index picked the started catching, correct. that's the simple condition, those when it comes to the issues of india, list of caves you are is this is because, well, for me just imagine, you know, scam that does happen, then i need to spend so far option and he has been uh, looking behind the bars, as for the wound of law, it has been done because to me of the tradition process and you know, eventually the ports the decides. but unfortunately, what we have seen is that there has been several instances in the last few years where united states have stifled metal into the internal affairs hoping to be offering 20. and i think it's not something new. because we have seen this, the tendency of the western countries into industrial uh, you know, give sort of months give their own unnecessary wisdoms on internal affairs of other

countries, especially at the time when the issues of within their own countries. i'm not at the best off of, you know, i'm not the best of them are for example, in united states that are, if there's an impression that enough effort is being put by the incumbent. governmental ensure that the mr. donald trump not quite done. pennsylvania election, india does not in the federal government on those issues because the respect is open, indiana, and the administrative aspects of other countries. hey, thanks for joining us there. and that's the international this tuesday coming your way next. go to now to use with the latest episode up to 360 view. the the politicians from both sides of the aisle have finally found legislation. they can agree on. but is it really a good thing if they are unified and taking away or limiting americans access to

information on sky? now, here's an on this edition of 360 view. we're going to look at house resolution 75 to one. and if it is really a trojan horse being used by congress to destroy the right to freedom of speech, let's get started. the in the spring of 2019 center republicans like senator ted cruz, hosted several hearings that claiming social media platforms like facebook, twitter, and even search engine google or purposefully sensor and conservative and conservative media outlets. it is that in fact, what google is doing, which is censoring and moderating speech on this platform. so i would not say that we are censoring speech, our platform. there were rounds of hearings, questions,

and appearances by elected republicans reinstated these charges saying not only did a big tech have the power to silence voices they disagreed with. but they also had the power to call it a person's feet to show only news, which was aligned with their own political agendas. now, democrats sharply repute discharge and said republicans were just continuing their history of a bashing what they consider to be the liberal, mainstream media and big tech. well, ignoring the real dangers, which was the rise of hate speech and this information online. the. but in the eyes of the majority of americans, this made republicans, the party fighting to protect freedom of speech. so as fast for to 2024 and 2 things have changed. first, one of the largest of social media platforms, twitter was sold to libertarian tech giant longmont. to almost immediately change the name to x and promise to fight for free speech and oppose the woke mind virus.

now the 2nd change came into development and almost instantly popular online social media outlets originating from china, called tick tock and is continuing to dominate the sector. which of course does not make some of its american competitors. very happy to these competitors having to have very generous lobbyist in washington dc. let's look at this meta, which is the owner of the popular platforms, facebook and instagram, and in the 1st half of 2023, make about $9000000.00 on lobby activities. now the previous year, the company's lobby effort, total approximately $21000000.00. now i initially thought the calling for this banning of tick tock, which has taken a very large amount of traffic away from the metal platforms. was mainly about an american company using the government to eliminate a for a competitor. and it still could be the case as kit talk is ultimately owned

through a very complex, multi layered corporate structure by dance. who was a privately owned technology giant. have a former congressman, ron paul, has correctly stated the us house vote to force the sale, tick, tock, or band. the platform entirely from us is the most dangerous and anti american acts is the passage of the patriot act. why is all this? well, because the law will give the us president whomever that is sole authority to determine which businesses can and cannot operate in the united states. this is a full government takeover of basic liberties and was being done under the umbrella of protecting american security. is accomplishing the exact opposite to even more alarm alarming. the same republican party, which championed free speech just a few short years ago, is largely the one pushing for this band. the majority of democrats have either

been supportive of the band or basically stay quiet. however, there were a few voices on both sides of the aisle who found themselves vocalizing their disagreement of this man. new or give a crowd representative alexandria across here, cortez voted against the band, saying there are serious anti trust and privacy questions here. and any national security concerns should be laid out to the public prior to a vote, almost voicing the same opposition to the ban was their public and representatives at marjorie taylor. greene from georgia, and representative thomas massy from kentucky. even the republican candidate for president donald trump publicly stated his disagreement with a band saying there are a lot of people on tick tock that love it. there are a lot of young kids on tick tock, who will go crazy without it all present. joe biden himself has not said anything, the bite in harris headquarters on tick tock has more than 265000 followers and is very active. so what is the real reasoning behind this by parts in support of house

resolution? 75 to one? let's discuss with our dest angela mccardle, chair of the libertarian national committee. larry ward present political media inc, and jim's read well, the political commentator and a comedian, thanks for joining me. well, let's start with you, james. do you believe that those at congress who support this bill are really doing so out of concern for americans, a security and safety? i know the short answer is no. i mean, it's kind of a silly notion to think that the us government's actually interested in data privacy concerns. i mean, just look at the tech industry based on the us from google to meta twitter slash ex . um, you know, these are very integrated with the national security state. they sell technology um and our use for surveillance purposes. um, so the idea that you know,

the us government is actually concerned about any sort of national security threats that tick tock poses. i mean, they could levy those criticisms towards us based companies, but you know, they don't really, um, you know, part for maybe like some republicans back in the day under the trump administration . um, but you know, is for different reasons. right. right. so yeah it's, it's another our criticisms and make about tick tock, but it's a bit of a witch on well, it is a website even though you have every congressman up there screaming or not every but most of them say there's about security. so larry, i have to ask you, what do you feel like is the real reason that the us congress is taking all this type of position on the tick tock platform the right after we've gone through a couple of years, a censorship. that's exactly the reason they are not concerned at all with um, you know, with like you said with security,

this is not about china. this is about getting control of a kind of a company that, you know, quite frankly, they deem it appropriate. but it was just like operation shop point. what operation 12 point during the obama nutrition came out. they said we're going to target unsavory business. and the bank from that was pretty much the whole idea of operations from ford. and it was, it was uh, guns, it was poor and, and it was uh, you know, drugs and you know, really all they focused on were guns and it kept getting slipped more slippery and more slippery, more slippery. so that's, that's essentially what's happening now. if you look at who is advocating for this bill, it's den crenshaw, it's a security and security republicans or democrats. it's a neil cause a and on the other side you have ron paul, a ripple, i will align my uh my, my light house with rand paul and ron paul any day. and, and, and uh, you know, those, those kind of guys rather than the dang credits also in the world,

was interested in that you're bringing that up because that brings in the libertarian point of view. so i've got to ask you, angela. normally, libertarians pretty much side with republicans on issues except in this case. why do you see the republicans in congress are so supportive of this bill? do you think it has anything to do with the billions being poured in by the outside part of their social media platforms? i think normally, libertarians was we side with a few republicans like like rand paul and thomas massey. i'm not sure if this has an, i'm not sure how much this has to do with, with billions being poured in. but i think it's interesting that this would come after you one must writes the ship at twitter. if, if our, if our government was that concerned with chinese influence, when may be march and may be looking at people in china who purchase massive amounts of land uh farming that the farming industry things of that nature. the

whole thing just seems kind of like a 1st. well, the other thing you mentioned the 1st, let me go back to you james, because i'm just gonna point out. you look a little bit young and i think this is something that a lot of have left a lot of young voters kind of scratching their head going of all the things right now that you could be targeting congress that you could be working on. you're going after the, one of the most popular social media platforms with our age group. so do you think right now that cars is just basically once again, showing their out of touch with their, their constituency is, or their future constituency? yeah, i mean, uh, any time, uh, you know, they got some tech seos. uh, doing some sort of hearing. i mean, they, they, congress really shows how little they know and how of a loop they are with how these things work. i mean that the ridiculous question asking when they could actually, you know, have a good opportunity the grill, these guys are legitimate questions. i ask them about like if it connects to the wi fi and you know, insisting that the seo tick tock is chinese asking how like the ad revenue models

are like, how they turn revenue um to soccer for when he is on the stand. so yeah, i mean it's, it's especially ridiculous when you look at the deteriorating material conditions of americans. i mean, we got like, you know, groceries, food spikes, price spikes that are, you know, hitting a 30 year high. but for some reason, uh, tick tock seems to be the thing that has bipartisan support, a banning it that is. so yeah, it's a little ridiculous. well, that's the thing. and what? because they did say that if tick tock was to sell everything and become a 100 percent american, that congress will allow it to continue. do you actually believe that or do you think the damage is already done to take talk? all right, well i don't know how much damage has already been done, but i'm sure that there's going to be if, if they want to force all the tiny shareholders to sell and have it purchased by american interest. i imagine that what they want is for that to be purchased by,

by the government. they would love a new propaganda out, i'm sure. and so they're like, oh, is there chinese propaganda on here? well, it should be american propaganda. it's, it's totally alignment with what they do through the 3. and i say what we know that they did through twitter with the twitter files and what we're all pretty sure they do in facebook. what's interesting is, and what you did bring up the idea of you on masking that kind of brought another probably conversation, even though it was never kind of like the elephant in the room amongst the congressional hearings that was going on. larry are used to suspect that this is actually more about not to sell even doing the chinese out because they're not getting rid of the chinese in any other parts of american life. but more of a target to eat on most something that someone who has made it quite obvious. he can't be controlled by the government. a 100 percent. that is exactly what it's about. and, and look, i actually think that there's some problems with, with tick tock. it social media i, i am of the opinion that, you know, social media does pose real health and mental health and, and, and, you know,

in the big, inhibits learning from it, from kids that are just passively flicking on through these, through these reels and their attention spans are getting less and less and quite frankly, the government really concerned about the content and the, and the medium, these reels and these, and these tech talking to you to shorts and all these things they're really concerned about in use, treat it like you did the eighty's with adapt program. you know, so you start putting out commercials. i remember of what i was in the eighty's or was commercial. i read every day. it's 10 pm. do you know where your kids are? you know, it just kind of all areas, but at the same time, you know, the, the, why are we running those kind of as like, well, there's some danger to social media. do you know what your kids are posting? do you know what your kids are reading or what they're absorbing on the contents or for media if they were concerned which i'm concerned, that's the kind of thing they should be communicating to parents. hey, look, there might be some dangerous stuff on these on these programs. you know, make sure you're, you're educating aware and keep these kids say,

the same thing. and we're going to get to this conversation to angel larry james, stay right there. because after the break to, we're going to continue this discussion and why there's alarm regarding the future of freedom of speech. here in america will be right back. the release of the russian states never is as tight as i'm in the most sense community not getting hold of all sense and the speed. what else holes question about this? even though we will then in the european union,

the kremlin media machine for state on process routing and switch the ortiz full neck. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube. the question, did you say stephen twist, which is the welcome back i'm scrolling now. hughes, and you're watching the $360.00 view now allies of eli moscow believe if the government succeeds in shutting down tick tock. the next move will be to shut down

x after designating eli and musk an anti government terrorist. saying that if the government can't control it, they kill it. and so is there any validity to this claim or is it just another conspiracy very well. it's spring back in our panel. angel mcardle chair of the libertarian national committee. larry ward present political media inc and james, right, well the political commentator and comedian, thanks for staying with me through the break. i'm gonna start with you on this angela. why does the american government seem to be really preoccupied with keeping information out of foreign governments? however, the idea of actually protecting privacy in america from the us government is considered a joke to them. well, they're not interested in protecting our privacy. they're interested in controlling our lives and controlling social media. and the free flow of information is really imperative to that. and certainly they want to see what we're discussing and what were they want to know what we're thinking about, right? and it, social media is as close as they can get to that. and it's their prerogative to

just maintain control and prevent people from sharing dissident views. and i think that we really saw that during the pandemic. you know, there was a particular narrative, they want it out there and they crushed any and all the same things on social media . what's interesting to you bring up the pandemic because i think that was where tick tock platform became popular because of the parent demick because we were at home and everybody was promoting it. you know, i've gotta ask you, larry, if this was to go after it on most likely previously discussed, do you think that he would continue to advance this in court all the way up to the supreme court? you know, i do, i think he, i think he would absolutely be like he's, he's invested in and he bought it, put a fortune into, into protecting a free speech and it took and took x private, you know, so it, i think he would fight and take it to the supreme court and, but the question is, is that you see what happened in the supreme court? well, you have to johnny jackson brown saying, saying that, you know,

free speech is really not free speech because the government has as a need to, if the government has a need to kind of slash speech, it should be able to squash speech. so we have a very scary element that we do have some members of the spring quarter. why big would right? but it's not a guarantee you not, not, not in today's world. and if you look at, um, you know, like, like you said, if you look at why this is happening, it's because the main stream media is so distrusted. and it's, and, and they, the viewership is down so much, probably because of the pandemic. and because of the 2020 election and be a lab and all of all of those last barriers ever propagated, they don't have a control over the information anymore. the only, and the information that the only true information is being spread on social media . so, you know, they ask that they have to shut it down for james, here's what i'm a little confused about because i remember this thing, an american civics called separation, a branches we have the additional we have legislative, we have the executive,

this is a bill that is this is the law being drawn up by the legislative if this goes to, if this is a, has to be appealed all the way up to the judicial branch is not pity the additional branch. and i guess that's checks and balances versus the legislative, but that means that the justice is an additional branch of the ones making the laws in america, which is something republicans have been crying about saying shouldn't be happening for decades down. yeah, i mean, i'd probably have to disagree with like the, the reasons that republicans, i've in the past raised it. i think that, you know, what's happening right now, i'd be remiss not to mention the else in the room. you know. yeah, both parties in full support of israel's, you know, matthews of palestinians and gaza and they're trying to do damage control. i mean it's, it's the timings a little little sauce you got um, you know,

full material support and diplomatic cover from the bite and ministration. and you have, i mean, literally like idea of troops with no discipline, just showcasing their own crime scene. no ransacking houses, mutilated bodies, terrifying people. it's horrible. and i mean, even, you know, don't take it from me. even the ceo of the radio, which is openly zionist organization, has, you know, if there's a leak audio call saying like we have a take talk problem. we have a generational problem. you know, they're, they're trying to stem. the flow of information, of course, calls the band tick tock, pre date this, and you know, it's part of the larger conversation of just controlling this imperialist narrative . and just, you know, making sure that us foreign policy looks good. and of course, this is extra scary now that uh, you know, instagram recently quietly roll down a new feature that actually limits political content. and the blower, you know,

i don't know if you've seen people sharing the posts saying like, hey, you gotta re enable this, you're automatically opted out. um, you know, it's a little scary that now tick tock potentially could disappear. and you know, they're essentially trying to censor uh, genocide that's, you know, backed by our tax dollars. and um, you know, this is also coupled with the fact that us, mainstream media is all towing the imperious line there are just, you know, saying like, hey, this is, is, you know, a very watered down whitewashed version at best. and at where it's just like full support for, you know, us foreign policy decisions. and of course, is during an election year where again, both parties are in support of this. so. right. yeah it's, it's a lot going on. it's interesting, james, because you do bring up one side of that issue, which is why a lot of people say we should have a diversity with what's going on now, please, but i've gotta ask you angela. donald trump originally was for banning tick tock. now he's reversed on it, is that, do you think because he sees that this could be,

he wants to, there are these laws we have in america that protect from media monopolies. and if they go through with this, dear store, setting it up that certain monopolies will exist and they'll be legislated by the government. and yeah, i think you've seen right through it. i think he's mindful of what happened with parlor. and, you know, it seems like donald trump sometimes, like he tends to shoot from the help with his, with his policy decisions and, and his ideas. and he probably thought, you know, take talk is terrible. he, he doesn't like china, i have let's go ahead and get rid of it. and once he realized what was going on, he reversed course, which is great. you know, i will see critical thinking coming out of people in washington. we don't have nearly enough of that and you know, if he gets elected, hopefully we're going to see a little bit more, you know, pro, freedom of speech stuff coming out of out of dc, but we'll see what happens. so that's the thing, larry, you know, how is this going to have an effect? i mentioned earlier to james,

talk about how the younger generations go on once again. why is congress going after? one thing that i actually use to get my information from uh, are you not, will this actually have an impact specially those younger groups? now let me point out the body of ministration does have, they are very popular to talk a cabinet. they started back up, trump has his i find it very funny right now that the same, you know, this is obviously a by parson attack on a platform, but not by the 2 guys that are leading to be leader of the free world. what's your take on it? a try your zachary, look the, the, the whole idea that the big take talk is, is the threat that we have to be looking at is, is absurd. it is, you know, like i said, i do have a problem with the content. i do have a problem with the, with the, you know, what it's doing to our young people. but there are other ways to handle that other than taking a business from somebody a donald trump course, just launch truth social and, and he is e, as acutely aware more than anybody in the world of,

of weaponized government because of what, what, what they've done to him personally so, you know, i think, i think he, that's the reason why he changed his is to, uh, you know, i will take a little little umbrage with, uh, you know, with james on, on the, on the use real thing. but yeah, i, i'm, i bugs of the belief that, you know, israel can do it. israel wants to do, palestinians did what they wanted to do on october 7th. we should stay out of it and let israel defend itself. and if in, quite frankly, it's their public relations nightmare, not ours, but that's, that's my personal opinion. and whether it's a public relations nightmare, or it turns out to be a public relations victory at the at all said, all said that it is there. but we should be able to have this conversation. we should be able to have this conversation on every platform possible, like your show, you know, you, you have obviously a bit on your show many times in your you never afraid to have the top conversation desktop questions and have people talk. you're not trying to talk over us or anything like that, and that's, that's the most important thing. we have to have these conversations and there we

don't call the 360 the, for nothing you just completed. what i said about change. there's 2 points of view to every situation and that's why we need the very social media platforms. angel on this case. do they not know that a tick tock was to go away? that's something else. so just come in it's place. is that not get more close to the idea that this is more about taking down a very powerful platform that already exists like twitter or ex as well? sure. social media is a hydra, you know, you, you cut off one, had another one's process, but our government is very depressed and they think, you know, we, they can manage it, they'll control it, they'll make sure that they get ahead of it. next time they'll pass this legislation to scare people from investing too much in creating the same kind of platforms. and that's why we need to oppose this legislation. they're trying to get out ahead of it, and we need to do the same thing well, and that's why we're having the show right here. and uh, larry james, thank you so much for joining me on this conversation. we'll see where this bill goes. with the unlimited of boundaries presented by the information

superhighway. any government can regulate a platform out of existence, but very few things can be done to stop the creation of a new one. as social media platforms adapt and change for relevancy and if alternately strangled by regulations just like the actual till the starfish or the octopus. it will grow the appendage back and even more resilient form. this is the same with regulating freedom. if you do something so obvious which limits freedom, the backlash, whether it be in the streets or at the ballot box, will be strong enough to stop. well, at least in a short term guy know here's thank you for watching the 360 you the

the, we will fight the gemini and policies of power and monopoly in world affairs. the russian tony's perimeter says haley multi polar wealth in defiance of the west. and had germany or such a long process hosted in facing the germany denies allegations that facilitates a genocide in dogs. that by all means is well, both of the 2nd day of hearings of the international pools adjusted on a lower stage close by nicaragua. mister benjamin netanyahu to class. that is a dates for the is wally invasion of the southern most plausible city of rafa. by some 1400000. how the city is a sheltering, lots of disturbing images. so schools of bodies found.
