Good evening. It's Tuesday, February 14, Valentine's Day,

2023. Welcome to a new episode of System Update. Our live nightly show that airs

every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively

here on rumble the free speech alternative to YouTube tonight Senator Josh

Holly the Missouri Republican has long supported the conservative view on culture war issues, that

parental rights are sacrosanct and that it should be parents not the state or

school bureaucrats who decide what American children learn about social, cultural, and religious

debates and how they learn about them.

Yet this week, Senator Hawley has introduced a new law that would deprive America's parents of the right to decide for their own

children when and how those children can start using social media and

replace that parental decision-making power with a blanket rule from the state that bans social media

from allowing any children under the age of 16 to use social media even if their

own parents believe they are ready to use it.

We'll examine the values in conflict as a result of Senator Holly's bill

and whether it can be reconciled with the banner of parental rights which the American right has been waiving as part of the Cultural

Wars. And then in our interview segment we'll speak to the independent investigative journalist

David Sorota about the ongoing health and environmental crisis in East Palestine, Ohio,

caused by the derailment of a northern Suffolk train carrying dangerous chemicals, which as the result of fires

have been released into the air.

We'll discuss with him the role played by Transportation Secretary

Beep Buttigic in all of this.
