ramaswamy certainly commanded the stage, but when he did and had his moment and made his introduction, he put forth a bunch of conspiracy theories and certainly drew the fire. not ron desantis, notably, but it was ramaswamy drawing the fire of people like mike pence, nikki haley and chris christie. i m glad you led with nikki haley. because when i was watching her last night, i was like, wow, that is what republicans should sound like. you know, we talk about sometimes, like, what would it look like on earth if donald trump wasn t there? the first hour of the debate was like all the republicans were sort of living in earth two. even fox news. isn t that sort of the problem? nikki haley, i m so thankful that she took such strong stance for ukraine, because not only republicans needed to hear that but the world needed to hear that. there are republicans who truly believe in the cause of democracy, not just in america but abroad. but the problem is, nikki haley
attorneys for fox news claim this is nothing more than an assault on the first amendment. they write, quote, fox news network did what any responsible media outlet would do, report on the biggest story of the day and present news making interviews with the new makers themselves. to our knowledge, they did not include a winking smiley face emoji. joining me is jessica levenson. thank you. welcome to the show. the first amendment reply, what do you make of it? i m so glad you led with that because i actually teach the first amendment, and one of the things we talk about is one of the purposes of the first amendment is to have a market place of ideas where you have this robust exchange of a variety of ideas, people disagree, people fight about it. and then the truth rises to the top. and part of how that can happen is actually to get the disinformation, the lies, out of the marketplace, to prove why they re wrong.
checks, red flag laws, and assault weapons bans. and nothing. what does change look like? well, i m glad you led into this and i m glad how you ve led on this, led into this with the 40,000 plus empty seats at the table. all of us who have lost a daughter, not to gun violence, or a sister, or someone else, knowing right before thanksgiving, anyone that has that, knows the pain is incredibly fierce and deep that will exist. they re not going to be able to share a meal, they re not going to be able to watch a football game, they re not going to be able to watch the world cup, not going to be able to laugh over the holidays, they re not going to be able to tell stories, they re gone. and that s a huge missing piece in this, which ought to tug at the heartstrings and minds of everybody that s been in the way of this. you know, i thought about this, you know, the election was very successful in defeating any a number of people that were going to cause our democracy to fail in some states.
