sandra: one of those breaking news thursday afternoons, john. also keeping our eye on nashville as hundreds gathered there to call for gun former at the state capitol. hundreds of young people from high schools all over the area, at times became very tense and confrontations with security happening as you see on the screen there. as there was a big debate and calls for gun reform. there were also those who were making the case for good guys with guns to protect the schools. so things got fiery there at the capitol building. obviously a lot of chanting happening there, and signs were up and that confrontation with security, this all went down a couple hours ago. since taking office, president biden and his team have labored to suppress viewpoints with which they disagree. and in doing so, they have infringed upon the individual freedoms of millions of americans. john: republican senator eric schmidt dropping that accusation on the weaponization of government, he was test
martha s vineyard. i m laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. we start with a fox news alert that s going to sends the biden doj and left into a frenzy. us district court judge aileen cannon ruled tonight that the special master in that mar-a-lago raid case will review all documents seized from the former president. remember, the doj had strenuously argued for a limited review so as not to slow down their investigation. well this ruling tonight puts the brakes, at least temporarily, on this aspect of the ongoing harassment of donald trump. more on this breaking story in a few moments. also, huge news from the financial world as the ceo of fed-ex is predicting a worldwide recession after the company s reporting that it will miss its revenue expectations. well, wall street wanted biden and now wall street has biden. unfortunately so do the rest of us. more reaction from the panel on that coming up but first, hate united. that s the focus of tonigh

those calls are made all the time by judges. it has to be imminent, the threat, it has to be leading to violence, just tough words are not enough. that was the new york times versus sullivan, often to protect the civil rights moment or anti-vietnam protesters saying you can t just sensor speech if it is provocative. this first amendment protects not just conservatives but liberals but my concern is a private corporation like meta do they have the independent jurists to be making those decisions in the way that has the public trust. i guess that s my broader criticism you have a few people that are multibillionaires making these decisions about speech in society i understand the judges making it but now you have private companies making it. let me ask why meta is making this decision now. it s been two years since trump
