| 0:00.0 | I know many of you are discouraged, but I want to tell you that there is hope, there is hope, and it comes from the young. |
| 0:10.0 | Not from the young who've been broken by their teachers and universities to the yoke of the woke. |
| 0:18.0 | Compitulation is not virtue, but the other day at the University of Chicago, |
| 0:25.0 | a daily Obama media mouthpiece David Axelrod's Center for Politics, |
| 0:30.0 | a few brilliant young people from the Chicago thinker challenged the media establishment. |
| 0:37.0 | They didn't shout the speakers down as the hard left does. |
| 0:41.0 | Instead, these young libertarians and conservatives asked clear, respectful questions, |
| 0:47.0 | but pointed questions of the media elite who've been lying to them for years. |
| 0:54.0 | And these elite in the media from the Atlantic's Ann Applebaum to CNN's Brian Stelter and others had a meltdown. |
| 1:04.0 | Yes, the media establishment is fragile, and all it took was a push by young writers at Chicago thinker to see the cracks in the Mind Palace. |

| 1:49.0 | as Russian disinformation? And what can we learn from that? And ensuring that what we label as disinformation is truly disinformation and not reality? |
| 1:58.0 | My problem with Hunter Biden's laptop is, I think, totally irrelevant. I mean, it's not whether it's disinformation. |
| 2:04.0 | I mean, I don't think the Hunter Biden's business relationships have anything to do with who should be president of the United States. |
| 2:12.0 | So I didn't find it to be interesting. I mean, that would be my problem with that as a major news story. |
