For me, I want to start by thanking our

loyal viewers for demanding truth and

courage from us. We deserve it. You

deserve it and we will give it to you.

And here’s the part

because we have for 30 almost 30 years.

The the part that I don’t understand

that is so ironic to me is how the

horrible senseless assassination of

Charlie Kirk, a man I disagreed with,

but who stood for debate, who stood for

freedom of speech, is being used to

silence people and cancel people. I

don’t understand how in this country

where the first amendment made to the

constitution was to guarantee freedom of

the press and freedom of speech, the

government itself is using its weight

and power to bully and scare people into

silence. Look, you know, I have to tell

you this. I lived through a right-wing

dictatorship in Nicarawa Samosa. I lived

through a left-wing dictatorship in

Nicaragua through with under Ortega.

This is what dictators and

authoritarians do. It does not matter

the ideology. At first they come with a

for the people with big platforms. At

first they silence the press, but then

they come for all of us because their

intent is to scare us into silence and

selfcensorship. And look at the things

that this government has done. They

kicked the AP out of the Oval Office for

not saying Gulf of America. They cut the

funding of NPR and the Corporation for

Public Broadcasting.

They are demanding reporters sign a

pledge that reporters will only report

on what the Pentagon wants them to

report on. That is not how the First

Amendment works. And I will say to you

all, to all of us,

look, we have seen tech titans go into

the Oval Office. We are seeing media

moguls, publishers of newspapers. We are

seeing all of them try to make the peace

with Donald Trump. A bully always comes

back for more. So they need to stand up

and we need to demand the same from

ourselves.
