From the historic campus of Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan,

where the good, the true, and the beautiful are taught, nurtured, and honored,

this is the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, bringing the activity and education of the college to listeners across the country.

I'd argue that credibility of the media, corporate media, is so low that their attacks on Ron DeSantis are part of the reason why people like Ron DeSantis.

They recognize that only people corporate media view as a threat are worth

picking for your leader. This is your host, Scott Bertram, and that's Molly Hemingway,

senior journalism fellow at Hillsdale College, also editor-in-chief at The Federalist and contributor

at Fox News. Her most recent book is rigged, How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats seized our elections.

We talk with Molly today about election integrity, about coverage of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, and more mishaps in the media.

Molly, thanks so much for joining us.

Great to be here with you.

I wanted to begin by asking in the aftermath of

Rigg and talking about election integrity, we are six weeks or so now from the November

election. Is there good news? Can you give us good news in terms of what states are doing the right

things when it comes to election integrity? What states might be better suited to handle what's going to happen in November this time around?

Yeah, there's tons of good news.

Following the 2020 election, a lot of Americans just became more interested in how elections were being run.

So you have a lot of people who are working to just make sure they are involved in the process

and understand how things are going on. You've had states pass very good legislation on everything

from banning the private takeover of government election offices to making sure that voter rolls

are cleaned up to, you know, to making sure that voter ID is something

that's tied to a ballot.
