there s a reason it is protected under international law under the first amendment, it is because it gives us the opportunity to persuade one another, to engage, a given take, to reach an audience, to find better policies, to sort between fact and falsehood. if you have a platform like twitter that is so overrun with this information that you cannot discern who to believe, that you are inundated with propaganda and people trying to pull one over a new, that kind of environment, the value of free speech is undercut. you can t learn about something new, you can t spread your idea around, you can t win new followers. so, i think that is the risk if he really goes through with what he originally said, which was that he was going to do away with all content guardrails. i think it would be that tower of babel environment. so lost talk a little bit about the distinction between free speech, the first amendment, and the power of disinformation. i want to quote from your l.a. times op-ed in w
they are doubling down wanting to go full steam ahead when it comes to trying to get some relief to the american people, when it comes to student loans, and they re going on the offensive. yesterday, the education secretary miguel cardona released an op-ed in which he really likened republicans who are opposing the student debt plan to hypocrites. he said, the same attorneys general and officials didn t file lawsuits when $58.5 billion in pandemic relief loans were forgiven for their state s business owners. they didn t oppose $2 trillion in tax cuts to the highest earning businesses and individuals as part of the trump tax giveaway and didn t complain when republican members of congress got millions of dollars for their paycheck protection program loans forgiven by the federal government last year. it s only when relief is going to working and middle-class americans that these elected officials have a problem. so again here, boris and amara,
the summer. anyway. wall street journal op-ed, here s a quote, a very interesting op-ed in the wall street journal today. if you are a tomboy or a feminine boy, if you have an expression or behavior that is different from what is typically associated with your-based on traditional expectations, you are transgender. no wonder so many young people think they need medical help to correct their sex. you have children that don t fit in, so you jam them into a freaking box and make them be what you think it should be, children growing up behave and a lot of different ways, you can be a tomboy, you can be of perfectly happy heterosexual woman. you can grow up and be perfectly happy gay woman. but you have adults deciding what that means and where you belong, and that s from the left that says we are all for people being whoever it is they
i was struck by your recent op-ed in the financial times where you essentially argue, fed chair jerome powell got it partially right in his comments in jackson hole on friday about, you know, what s going on right now. but he didn t deal with the reality of how much they missed. i guess that hindsight is 2020, but make the case that it is important for the american people to hear now why specifically the fed thinks it got it so wrong on inflation, why they were so wrong when they called it transitory. they were so wrong because it wasn t transitory, because they didn t look into history and they didn t realize that the drivers on inflation evolve. that s what happens when you re asleep at the wheel, different things start driving inflation. it becomes, as chair powell said himself, spread throughout the economy. why is it important to admit it? because the fed forecasts are still not taken seriously enough
prior to doing a drill at baseline and then administering it after doing the drill, we were a bit surprised actually we thought that there might not be any change, but we actually found less anxiety right after the drill and more wellbeing, although we should note that these kids were reporting pretty low anxiety and high wellbeing at both time points. that s really interesting. we only have a few seconds left. jackie, want to ask you quickly, how do you feel about teachers being armed? you know, certainly that s a decision that districts are struggling with. i think the reality is we just simply don t have the data available anecdotally or otherwise to be able to suggest that that would do what it s intended to do which would be to bring an active shooter situation to an end more quickly. all right. thank you both for coming on this evening. it is a fascinating op-ed in the washington post. jacqueline, amanda, thank you for your time. thank you for having us. thank you.
