- [Gary] Today from "The Global Lane."
Welcome to the new censorship,
threatening the foundationof the American republic.
- The millennials today are onthe forefront of censorship.
They think they have the truth.
- [Gary] Sending millionsof American taxpayer dollars
to Central America toease the border crisis.
Will it work?
- The problem is that you're dealing
with three historicallyvery corrupt governments.
- [Gary] As schoolsclosed and stuck at home,
the new surge in childdomestic violence victims.
- The pandemic not onlyheightened the trauma,
but heightened the exposureof the students to the trauma.
- And not allowing a goodgun crisis to go to waste.
And it's all right hereon "The Global Lane."
(tense music)
From a sitting US president
to average Americansvoicing their opinions
about COVID-19 origins,masking, and vaccines.
It seems if you share an opinion
that doesn't support aprogressive narrative,
you'll be censored, maybe even banned
from social media platforms.
Our next guest suggeststhis dangerous trend
is threatening the USConstitution and the very fabric
of the American republic.
Here to share his thoughtson the new censorship
that is restricting free speech worldwide
is former Harvard lawprofessor Alan Dershowitz.
Professor Dershowitz is aconstitutional law expert,
civil libertarian, andfree speech advocate.
His latest book is "The CaseAgainst New Censorship."
Professor Dershowitz,it's a pleasure, sir,
to discuss this important issue with you.
I know the Nazis burned books.
Lenin, Stalin, and Mao silenced those
who expressed views inopposition to their governments.
Is this new censorshipthat you write about
reminiscent of thoseone-party, totalitarian states?
How would you describe it?
- Well, it has this in common.
The people who burned the books
in Nazi Germany were students.
The people who advocated communism
in Lenin and Stalin'sRussia were students.
The millennials today are onthe forefront of censorship.
They think they have the truth
and they don't need dissent,they don't need due process.
Why bother with dissentingviews or free speech
if they know what the truth is?
If they know that every white cop
who shoots a black personis, of course, guilty
without regard to the facts of the law?
If they know that every manwho was accused by a woman,
of course, is guilty?
The woman is always gonna tell the truth.
You know, if they know thateverybody who raises questions
about an election arelying and making up facts,
even if you disagree with them,
why do you need free speech?
So, yeah, I think,
you know, we're not in Nazi Germany,
we're not in Stalin's Russia,
but we are getting close to situations
where non-government officials,
and that's what's so dangerous,non-government officials,
Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube,
are determining what wecan hear, what we can say.
You know, the FirstAmendment has two aspects,
the of the speaker to speak,
but the right of the audience to listen,
and we the audience are beingdeprived of free speech.
Let me give you an example.
Bobby Kennedy, the son ofthe former attorney general
and a great environmental lawyer,
but he's a vaccine skeptic.
I am more of a supporter of vaccination.
We had a wonderful debate.
It could've been held at anymajor university in the world.
And it was on constitutional law
and medical considerations, on science.
And hundreds, even thousands of people
watched the debate and liked it
and then YouTube took it down.
They said vaccination isnot a debatable issue.
We don't want to hear two sides of it
and we don't want our audienceto hear two sides of it.
So hundreds of thousands ofpeople were denied the right
to hear me and BobbyKennedy debate this issue.
I won the debate by default.
I don't want to win the debate by default.
I want to win the debate on the merits
in the marketplace of ideas.
- Big tech CEOs
will deny they're censoringconservative speech
or speech that doesn't quite fit
their progressive narratives.
But we've already seen
how they blocked the "New York Post" story
about Hunter Biden's laptop.
That happened just priorto last fall's election.
So that censorship decisionmay have influenced the outcome
of the presidential vote.
So how worrisome isthat type of censorship
influencing election outcomes
by preventing all factual information
from being made public?
- It's very dangerous 'causeit not only prevents that
or has interference with that,
but on so many other aspects of life,
on whether to take the vaccination or not,
on other issues.
The head of the littletown of Brooklyn Center
said that he thought thatthe woman police officer
who pulled out her guninstead of her Taser
and thought she was firing the Taser,
yelling, "Taser, Taser, Taser!"
when she was indicted for manslaughter,
the town guy said she oughtto be given due process
and he was immediately fired
for calling for a constitutional right,
due process for every citizen?
You get fired?
And there were threats, andif they didn't fire him,
there would be all kinds of repercussions.
That's the problem that'sgoing on in America today.
- You were a Harvard law professor.
What's happening inuniversities like Harvard, Yale,
others that were once known
as places of debate,discourse, and free speech?
What's happening?
- I'll give you an example.
At Harvard, I have acolleague named Ron Sullivan,
the first AfricanAmerican ever made a dean
of a Harvard college.
And he was a great dean
and then he made the, quote, mistake
of defending HarveyWeinstein for about a month
on constitutional issues.
And the students in hiscollege said they felt unsafe.
They didn't feel unsafewhen, a year earlier,
he defended somebodyaccused of a double murder.
But they felt unsafe becausehe was representing somebody
who they didn't likeand who had been accused
of sexual misconduct.
So he got fired by Harvard University
for who he represented.
If John Adams had been aprofessor at Harvard back in 1771,
he'd have been fired, I guess,
for representing theBoston Massacre soldiers.
And Abraham Lincoln would've been fired
because he represented somedisreputable characters.
And great people in America
have represented awful people over time.
And during McCarthyism,they got fired for it,
and under the new McCarthyism,they're fired for it as well.
So we have a violationof the First Amendment,
the Sixth Amendment,of the Fifth Amendment.
Many of the millennials
just don't care about the Constitution.
They know the truth with a capital T,
and why have dissent,why have due process,
why bother with those cumbersome excesses
when we know the truthand don't need to hear
an opposing point of view?
- I don't think they're taughtthe Constitution anymore.
So is it too late to reverse this trend?
What do we do about it?
File lawsuits, regulate big tech, what?
- First of all, it's not too late.
We write books, as I do.
We have talk shows like you do.
And we try to appeal directlyto the American public.
Then we go to the Supreme Court.
We have legislation whichcould restrict the ability
of social media to takeadvantage of Section 230,
which exempts them from lawsuits
if they continue to censor speech.
So a lot of things we can do.
We haven't lost this battleand it's part of a bigger war.
And look, I lived through McCarthyism
as a student in college.
We overcame that. I thinkwe'll overcome this.
- Okay. It's just beginning, is it not?

- Not only are Mexican cartelsmaking hundreds of millions
of dollars smuggling humansacross the US southern border,
but US government officials report
the cartels are alsoraking in huge profits
by smuggling massive amounts of narcotics,
especially the deadly drugfentanyl, into the country.
Fentanyl seizures are up 360%
over the same period last year.
So what needs to be doneto stop illegal narcotics
from pouring over our porous border
and poisoning our people?
Well, joining us is formerfederal prosecutor Josh Jones.
Mr. Jones is seniorfellow for border security
at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Josh, thank you for being here.
And before we discuss thecartels, the drug smuggling,
please share your thoughts
about the Bidenadministration's announcement
that it's sending $310 millionto Honduras, Guatemala,
El Salvador, to entice potential migrants
to remain in their own countries.
So will that plan work?
What do you think?
- It hasn't worked before.
We, to this point, haveattempted to address the issues
in that part of the worldby sending transfer payments
down to those countries.
And the problem is that you're dealing
with three historicallyvery corrupt governments.
So you're essentially sending money
with no strings attacheddown to governments
that don't necessarilyhave the best interest
of their people in mind all the time.
So, in the past, it has not worked.
I think we need to find a better,
more innovative solutions inorder to get capital down there
such as incentivizinginvestment down there
as opposed to justdirect transfer payments.
- So Josh, many Americansfeel the border issue
was handled pretty well bythe Trump administration.
More than 100 days intothe Biden administration,
we have a border czar,Vice President Harris,
who has yet to visit the border.
You were down there.
She hasn't been down there.
What do you think?
- Well, she has attemptedto limit her actual job
or her actual role inthe immigration crisis
to essentially diplomatic relations
with the Northern Triangle countries
as opposed to addressingthe physical reality
of the crisis at the border right now.
That's her choice,
and from the moment Bidentapped her to that role,
she immediately came out and said
that, quote-unquote, she'snot doing the border,
so fair enough.
She's taken a step back from that.
But the real problems,as we know right now
are right here at the border.
- Well, I mean, at least shecould go maybe to Honduras,
Guatemala, El Salvador, like you did.
You're able to go.
Why couldn't the vicepresident of the USA?
And she's got Secret Service
and all the protection she needs.
Well, we've seen human traffickers profit.
They're raking in millions of dollars now
smuggling women and childrenacross the US border,
even abandoning little children
like that Nicaraguan boy, Wilton,
when they could not pay ransom money.
And if that's not bad enough,
massive amounts of illegalnarcotics, cocaine, heroin,
fentanyl from China pouringover our porous southern border.
So how bad is it, Josh?
- Well, the drug problem
has been bad for a longtime, ever since I've been
I've been doing this for12 years, and obviously...
The drug trafficking problemas it involves Mexico
is much older than that.
It started, you know, backin the '80s with cocaine,
and before that, with marijuana
and heroin coming up from Mexico.
In terms of the human trafficking
and the human smuggling, that is something
that we're seeing a sharpincrease in right now
in terms of numbers and interms of the anecdotal stories
that you're talking about, the horrors
that we're seeing right now down there.
- Well, I know border agents are saying
it's the worst they'veseen in 20 years or more.
So what needs to bedone by President Biden
and the US Congress to make a difference
to reduce, maybe evenstop the trafficking?
- I think it's just part of it would be
to change their messaging,
or at least to get theirmessaging consistent.
The problem for the Bidenadministration from the start
is that their messagingis all over the place.
The borders open, the borders not open.
Title 42 is revoked, Title 42,
the rule that preventspeople from entering
because of COVID, it'seither on or it's off.
It's on for kids fromNorthern Triangle countries.
It's off for other people
unless they happen to be here with any...
The messaging is all overthe place and the problem
is that the traffickers orsmugglers in Central America
will take messaging that'sadvantageous just to them
and pitch that to people down there
who want to be smuggledup to the United States.
And that's the reasonthat the numbers are,
one reason that the numbersare so high right now.
I think we need to dosomething about the policy
that is allowing all undocumented children
to enter the United States
from the Northern Triangle countries.
I think there are bettersolutions to that than...
I think that's another big reason
that the numbers are so high
from the Northern Trianglecountries right now.
- Okay, the messaging and Dreamers.
Josh Jones, former federal prosecutor,
senior fellow for border security
at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Thank you, Josh, forproviding those insights.
We appreciate you.

- Extended COVID-19lockdowns have led to a surge
in domestic violence around the world.
Confined to home, manycouples and families
are experiencing healthand financial stresses.
But did you know that oneof every three victims
of domestic violence are male, not female?
Well, here to set us straightand provide some insights
on how we may reduce the violence
and help the victims is Hampton Conway.
Mr. Conway is executivedirector of Movement Ministries,
a Maryland faith-basedhuman services organization
dedicated to supportingand advocating for youth,
individuals, and families.
It's a pleasure to haveyou with us, Hampton.
So tell me, when we thinkof domestic violence,
we think of men abusing women,but men are also victims.
Tell us what's happeningto men and also to boys.
- Absolutely.
I appreciate you taking the time
to have this important conversation.
Yeah, I think peoplejust definitely assume
that, when you talkabout domestic violence,
that it's typically themale is the perpetrator
and the woman is the victim.
But unfortunately, there is a lot
of domestic violence taking place
that males are victims,whether they be men,
and as well as boys.
The root causes, I think,aren't any different
regardless of who the victim is.
But I think the reasonwhy we don't realize
that there are so many menthat are also being abused
is because, one, I think a lot of men
are hesitant to speak up.
Now, even women, a lot ofwomen, statistics show,
are very hesitant to speak up.
But I would argue thateven more so for men
because of the nature ofhow men are to be perceived,
you know, as being the strong ones
and pride and ego andthose types of things.
And so, men are veryreluctant to come out and say,
"Hey, let me tell you aboutwhat's happening in my home.
Let me tell you about how mywife is going upside my head,"
or "Let me tell you abouthow my wife is belittling me
and demeaning me."
And that's not a common conversation
that men are really willing to have.
- You and your kids were battered.
I imagine that that had a lot to do
with leading you into a ministry now
to help people overcome theirabuses and their experiences.
So tell us about that.
- Yes, I was in my previousmarriage for 14 years,
and early on in the marriage,things started to transpire
that were alarming and concerning,
and those things kind of justgradually got worse and worse.
But, you know, I kept holdingout hope and holding out faith
that she would change,that she would get help,
and unfortunately, that never happened.
But yeah, it was physical violence,
but believe it or not,the mental and emotional
and verbal abuse definitelyleft more severe scars
than the physical abuse.
- You've probably noticedquite a few children,
child victims of violence.
I'm assuming that the pandemic(Hampton sighs)
has even made it moredifficult for educators
to actually see the signs ofabuse, physical and emotional,
and then intervene when so many children
are still out of the classroom.
Tell us about that.
What's happening there?- Yeah,
you're absolutely right.
So if you consider the amount of hours
that students spend at school,
away from the trauma that theymay be experiencing at home.
You know, so at least school is a relief,
in some respects, formany of these children.
And for adults.
I know for me, personally, evenwhen I was going through it,
you know, I really threw myself
into my job more as a principal,
just because of what Iwas experiencing at home.
And so you consider that,
the pandemic has definitely heightened,
not only heightened the trauma,
but heightened theexposure of the students
to the trauma becausethey're not in school
for those six, seven hours
that they're normally in school for.
And so it's going to be...
You know, I've been telling mycolleagues every chance I get
that we really have to ramp up and prepare
for the kids' return, youknow, the full return.
Many districts are justdoing hybrid right now,
but when kids get back,
you're going to see the manifestation
of a lot of the trauma thatthey've continued to experience
and had those heightenedexperiences when they come back.
And like you said, yes,
you know, they haven'tbeen able to intervene
or see the signs as oftenas they would've been
had they been in school.
- And finally, I knowyou're a Christian, Hampton,
so how important is it forbattered men, women, children
to experience the Spiritand overcoming power
of Jesus Christ in the healing process?
- The only reason I'm sitting here today
is because of my faith.
Even at times where I feltlike there was no hope,
God always gave me a glimmer of hope
and gave me the strengthto continue to hold on.
And so I think it's so important
for those of us that do know Jesus
to let people know that, first of all,
there is help, there is hope,
but also, aside from likewhat our organization does,
just providing practical resources.
We're trying to usethose practical resources
to share the love of Christ.
And so, by getting peoplethat are in tough situations
to see and feel the love of Christ,
I think that makes a huge difference
in them being able to overcome,
and have the power to overcome
'cause we know that the power to overcome
doesn't rest in us.
You know, it rests in God.
- And I've had some people say,
"Where was Jesus in themidst of me being abused?"
and I say, "He was right there with you."
- Yes, sir.- Hampton Conway,
executive director of Movement Ministries,
thank you for setting us straight today.
We appreciate it.

- Never let a crisis go to waste.
Often, that's the unspokenmantra of politicians worldwide.
It's been a deadly springhere in the United States.
We've experienced four massshootings in four weeks.
Americans grieve forthe dead, the injured,
and their families.
And our politicians?
For them, time is of the essence.
Before the bodies turned cold
and before the morning commenced,
they rushed to the media to pontificate
about how Congress should seize the moment
and enact meaningfulgun reform legislation.
Proclaiming that gunviolence must be stopped,
President Joe Biden signedsix executive orders
restricting guns.
- Today, we're taking steps
to confront not just the gun crisis,
but what is actually apublic health crisis.
Nothing, nothing I'm about to recommend
in any way impinges onthe Second Amendment.
- The Second Amendment to theUS Constitution says this:
"A well regulated militia, being necessary
to the security of a free state,
the right of the peopleto keep and bear arms,
shall not be infringed."
So one of Biden's executive orders
directs the Justice Departmentto crack down on ghost guns.
Those guns are assembled with a 3D printer
and parts purchased on the internet.
Banning or confiscating thoseguns would be a violation
of the Second Amendment, Mr. President.
That's because the Constitution
gives Americans the right to keep guns.
Sure, our Founding Fatherscould not envision 3D printers,
but when they passed the Second Amendment,
they knew bearing arms wouldoften require keeping parts
and assembling the guns at home.
And don't you find it interesting
that President Bidenmentioned that the gun crisis
is actually a public health crisis?
Our politicians talk abouta public health crisis
after mass shootings, butI don't hear them showing
similar concern for thedaily public health crisis
in Chicago, one of America'sgreat cities, do you?
446 people died in massshootings in the USA last year.
In Chicago alone, assailantskilled 769 people.
That's more than twomurder victims per day.
Where's the outrage?
Where's the public healthcrisis in the Windy City?
And Chicago has some ofthe toughest gun laws
in the country.
Folks, the president says thatgun violence needs to stop.
Mr. President, executive orders
and anti-gun laws will not stop it.
People will continue to doevil and murder one another.
It's part of our sinful nature,
dating back to the Garden of Eden.
Cain didn't have a gun to kill Abel.
He probably used a stick or a rock.
God weighed in on thatfirst human homicide.
Now the US Supreme Courtsays it's ready to weigh in
on an important gun rights case this year.
The high court willdecide of a New York law
restricting people fromcarrying concealed handguns
in public violates the Second Amendment.
We'll stay tuned for that one.
It's likely to be a landmark ruling.
Well, that's it todayfrom "The Global Lane."
