Traveled our country, meeting with our young leaders, by the way i love gen z. I just love gen z. Laura: turns out gen z may not love her back. We will dig into the latest pollings. Plus, her phony appeal to populism and not fooling anyone. She is trying to say elect me president and i will somehow do all the things that i haven't done for the last three and a half years. And we'll take you inside camp kamala the debate prep. Madam vice president. How is debate prep going? laura: compelling. But, first, her anti freedom agenda. That's the focus of tonight's angle. laura: all right. My friends, tonight trump has got the momentum, more hispanic voters, more black men, more asian americans and independents are now willing to hear republicans out on the big issues. Where, before they weren't. Now, remember, most are poorer after going on four years of biden and harris and now, many are left wondering why am i a democrat again? the democratic party has been hijacked by radical extremists under the guise of being, quote progressive. The party has really given in to these extremists who no longer care about the safety, wellbeing of children and women. Literally pushing for sex changes for underaged children. Laura: at a time like this, the democrats needed a candidate who could actually defend what her own party is doing. And defend her own record and ideas. But with kamala harris, all they can do is play this tedious game of hide the ball. And today the harris campaign wouldn't answer a simple question about her supposed ev mandate walk back, dodging the matter, according to axios. Again, she is not discussing policy because she is a nightmare off the cuff. It's not some game of 3d chess here. And also because her policies aren't popular, her campaign decided to have her simply pretend that she has had a change of heart. Well, harris' campaign has said she know no longer supports many of her past progressive positions and has embraced more centrist distances on healthcare, immigration, gun control, and fracking axios reports. Well centrist, well, knowing what we know about her, that's not at all credentialed. Because, if you are in favor of using the power of the state to surveil and prosecute your political opponents, and if you can justify censoring those political opponents whether through government pressure on social media companies, or through straight on intimidation, then, i hate to tell it to you. I hate to break it to you. You are a wildeyed extremist. Committed even inarticulate radical leftist. And that's what kamala is. She hasn't even tried by the way to walk back her support back in 2019 for banning trump from twitter. And, remember, he was a sitting u. S. President. Here we have donald trump who has 65 million twitter followers. He and his account should be taken down. This is a matter of corporate responsibility. Twitter should be held accountable and shut down that site. It is a matter of safety and corporate accountability. Laura: while running in the democrat primary, she was fine with bullying social media companies that she saw as a threat to the democrats' chances of winning in 2020. So what was the clear message? don't even try to hide behind the right to free speech. Because if you do social media companies, the government hammer is going to come down. There has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power they are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop. Laura: now, if she could, she would obviously be comfortable with something closer to the new brazil model of dealing with free speech, which is basically just shut it down. A corrupt brazilian supreme court agreed to block elon musk x there nationwide. So the president left wing thug, desperate to protect his own power by any means necessary which would, yes, can include arresting mr. Musk himself or one of his in country representatives. If x continued to try to operate without requested censorship by the government that it demanded. Now, the president vowed that brazil was not obliged to put up with musk's extreme right wing ideology, the president of brazil. Sometimes it's hard to tell. But, naturally, american liberals who hate musk and hate what he stands for, which is free speech, they're defending brazil's actions. If you want to operate in brazil, you operate by their rules. These are their rules. It's their country and they are very worried about misinformation there and a lot of tech companies are finally being held accountable for certain behaviors and practices. Laura: funny how behaviors and practices that are most offensive to them always seem to come from the other side of the political aisle. Hmm. Isn't it reasonable to assume that if governments continue to fail their own people and they are failing their own people worldwide, they fail to adhere to their wishes. And to grow the standard of living of their own citizens and when those people grow restless, that those same governments, rather than responding to the will of the voters, that they will simply respond with censorship? if brazil can succeed in banning twitter, from the entire country, it will be replicated. This is the ultimate destination for this movement where they can't convince people to give up their own freedoms to embrace censorship, they are going to starlight to take sites offline. To prevent people from hearing opposing views. Laura: keep an eye on europe as newsweek noted today, its own regulatory landscape for social media platforms is becoming more stringent. Translation? it's becoming more hostile to free speech. Their digital services act. The dsa could be used to impose massive fines and even shut down musk's x. Of course, authorities would cite concerns about online safety and content moderation for justifying their censorship. The truth is america increasingly stands alone in support of free speech. Yet democrats see free speech as an impediment rather than a godgiven right. An iment pedestrianment to their agenda. To their grip on power. Now, remember, the angle washed you that when the federal bureaucracy cracked down against independentminded doctors, like our own row mean during covid they were seen as a threat to industrial complex and ruled and ruled over by his lowness, tony fauci. It can be dangerous to the health of the nation when disinformation dissuades people from making use of what could be lifesaving interventions like vaccinations, wearing a mask. And abiding by good public health practices. Laura: should be in jail. Now, this was a harbinger of the antifree speech forces at work in american politics. Of course, clever democrat strategist that know that attacks on our free speech, they are not very popular. They always deflect by dubbing kamala harris' plans as, well, that's the real freedom agenda. But, now we see that their view of freedom only extends to a limited number of activities like you have the freedom to abort your own off spring. You have the freedom to consume as much porn and do as many drugs as you want. And maybe gamble your life savings away. They do not believe in the freedom of voters that they have questions that they want answered. Voters who want to know what policies candidates are actually standing for. Kamala's idea of freedom doesn't include the assessment either, we know that so, if they can win this election with an empty pants suit candidate who can't and won't discuss the issues, well, why won't they use the same playbook in 4 or 8 or 12 years? and at that point, would we even qualify as being a free country with free speech? and that's the angle. Joining us now is vivek ramaswamy, former g. O. P. Presidential candidate. Vivek, a lot of folks watching tonight will say to themselves, perhaps, oh, this is just in places like brazil and the loopy liberals over there in europe, but what's your warning tonight for america if kamala harris with her supposed freedom agenda gets elected? look, i think that that's coming to a social media platform near you right here in the united states of america. One of the most mysterious parts of this, laura, some of the most vocal proponents of the u. S. Preventing authoritarianism abroad. Have nothing say about censorship in banning of platform like x in brazil founder of telegram arrested in france allegedly for violating some of their dictas relating to the suppression of free speech. He wasn't arrested in russia. He was arrested in france. An ally of the united states. So, i do think there is irony for the very people who preach the importance of freedom and democracy and spreading that abroad. Happened to be the ones most silent when it comes to actually defending democratic norms, even amongst allied nations from france to brazil to canada to the u. K. So i do believe the same u. S. Government in many ways that threatened those social media companies to silence information here at home are at least complicit in saying not a peep or worse. We don't know the facts yet, or worse, as it relates to permitting and even condoning our allies, suppressing their own speech in their supposed democracies. It's a complicated issue and a lot more to say. But i think that's an interesting laura: vivek, we know they speak out on issues that matter to them. Even if they happen overseas. Issues that really are important to them. A lot of social issues. But, when we have british authorities threatening americans with extradition, if they violate their social media company rules with what they post or what they say, and we don't have i didn't see a single democrat politician say don't even think about it. To me, what does that say to america about our own free speech and how protected it really is? i think it goes to the heart of american identity, laura. Because what separates the united states of america from most other countries is that we are bound by a common set of ideal enshrined in our constitution and our bill of rights. The first amendment came first for a reason. Free expression of speech and free expression and practice of your ledge. That's what makes america itself. So when other allied nations are betraying those values, it is ironic that the people interscreen in protecting democracy in places like ukraine have nothing to say to actually defend the values that define america amongst our own allied nations. This goes a little bit off of the traditional republican or conservative view here, laura. I will also say that it's a moment for us to look ourselves in the mirror and we properly. United states. Get in the business of banning. Changes with respect: different issues. Laura: communist chinese, influence u. S. Elections and that's what is going on. That's very different from having this platform. Laura: i get what you are saying and i understand vivek venk the truth of the matter is i don't like any government deciding what people can or cannot see. And i think america is at our strongest when we stand on that core principle. And i think this rises above just the republican vs. Democrat issue. But if we are committed to free speech, that means we are committed to free speech, that's who we are as americans. And i proudly call myself an absolutist. Laura: vivek. I want to move to another topic, which is that doj seems to be back to russia, russia, russia because they announced indictments against russians for alleged election interference so the media's favorite talking point, they think, is back. Watch this. They are not saying explicitly that russia is trying to help republicans. If you just read the context of it it's extremely easy to figure out. What the u. S. Government justice department is alleging that rickenbacker is doing really to booster donald trump's efforts in 2024 after that doing that eight years ago in 2016. Laura: are they laying the groundwork for more censorship? well, the reality is they already did this in 2016. They have historical practice when they are afraid of donald trump come back to office. They invent every figment of imagination of russia or somebody else putting him there. Without actually paying attention to the threats coming from our own administrative state to free and fair elections in the united states. So, when you see the suppression of information like the hunter biden laptop story on the eve of the last election, that was election interference but it happened right here at home in the united states of america. It wasn't some foreign country doing it. And even as it relates to this whole discussion, laura, it's an interesting moment for us in the west, and in the united stated when greatest threats to the u. S. Aren't coming from russia or anywhere else. They are coming from right here at home for our own government actors that are violating our own enshrined principles to achieve their own i would say narrowminded ends. Especially on the left. That's where we are today. I think it's a unique moment in american history where our greatest threats are actually resident right here within. Laura: the enemy within. Also what they have done with the border. Completely changing the landscape, political, demographic, cultural, economic of the country without anyone voting for this. Vivek, brilliant analysis. Thank you so much. Great to see you. As students across the country are headed back to school, a parent's worst nightmare unfolded in georgia. A 14yearold is arrested after allegedly shooting and killing four people, two students, and two teachers. Fox news senior correspondent steve harrigan is live from winder, georgia with all the details. Steve? steve: laura, the numbers right now stand at four dead and 30 people injured. Those numbers could change as nine of those injured are in the hospital. Some with serious gun wounds. The shooter 14 years old. He gave himself up immediately to school resource officers. It's not clear what his motivation was in this shooting. But authorities have already said he will be charged with murder and tried as an adult. The sheriff here said what happened today was an act of pure evil. I never managed that i would be speaking to the media in my career over something that happened today the pure evil that happened today my heart hurts for our community, but i want to make it very clear that hate will not prevail in this county. I want that to be very clear and known. Love will prevail over what happened today. I assure you of that. The shooter got off roughly 10 shots before surrendering laying down on the ground floor. Students were initially moved to the football field and then over the course of several hours, reunited with their parents. Laura, back to you. Laura: all right, steve. Thank you so much. And just ahead. Kamala and biden make a major policy change after something the angle pointed out last night, find out what it is, next. (voya) there are some things that work better together.
