It should come as no surprise that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is upset that people are losing trust in the mainstream media because that means he’s losing control over the narrative and therefore‚ the people. Dave Rubin plays a clip of Trudeau explaining his fears. “There is out there a deliberate undermining of mainstream media. There are the conspiracy theorists ... [and] the social media drivers who are trying to do everything they can to keep people in their little filter bubbles‚ to prevent people from actually agreeing on a common set of facts‚” he whined. “CBC and CTV ... and Global used to project across the country at least a common understanding of things.” Translation: "I’m upset because there are more than just government news outlets now‚ which means I’m less able to implement thought control and social conditioning." “We are getting a blowup clown that I‚ every now and again‚ am allowed to punch‚” says Dave. “I will just punch a clown because that's what that guy is.” “What he's saying is that ‘yes‚ in Canada we could agree on a set of facts when everybody was getting their news from the CBC — the government-run news organization‚”’ Dave explains‚ adding that “this is the same guy who was jailing truckers who were protesting him [and] who was jailing priests and closing churches.” “[Trudeau]‚ Joe Biden‚ John Stewart‚ all of these people ... have figured out a way to kind of control everybody. They slow roll all the information so nobody's ever able to catch up with the truth‚ and then anytime somebody says something 'against the narrative‚' like‚ 'I’m a little worried about the vaccines‚' or 'this Russian collusion thing seems a little bit weird‚' they’re immediately labeled 'a conspiracy theorist' or 'a mean right-winger.'” Want more from Dave Rubin?To enjoy more honest conversations‚ free speech‚ and big ideas with Dave Rubin‚ subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.

A Texas federal judge on Thursday placed a preliminary injunction on a new Texas law that would allow local authorities to arrest and deport immigrants who enter the state illegally.What's the background?Senate Bill 4‚ signed into law in December by Republican Governor Greg Abbott‚ would make illegally crossing the southern border into Texas a class B misdemeanor. Local law enforcement officials would have the authority from the state to arrest‚ detain‚ prosecute‚ and even deport illegal immigrants. Individuals who refuse to leave could be charged with a second-degree felony and face up to 20 years in prison. Those caught smuggling illegal immigrants into the state could be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison.Abbott hoped to address the state's immigrant crisis by "crack[ing] down on repeated attempts to enter Texas by creating the offense of illegal reentry and penalizes offenders‚" according to a December press release from his office. The governor accused the president of refusing to enforce the country's immigration laws and prompting an invasion.Shortly after signing the bill‚ the Biden administration sued Texas‚ claiming the law "is preempted and violates the United States Constitution." The Department of Justice contended that Senate Bill 4 "intrudes into a field that is occupied by the federal government" and "conflicts with various provisions of the [Immigration and Nationality Act]."Renae Eze‚ a spokesperson for Abbott‚ stated that the governor's administration is prepared to take the legal battle "all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court."Judge blocks SB 4U.S. District Judge David Ezra‚ appointed by former President Ronald Reagan‚ granted an injunction on Thursday‚ preventing the new law from taking effect while the case is being reviewed.In Ezra's 114-page ruling‚ he rejected Texas' claims that the Biden administration has failed to enforce federal immigration laws."The Court is sympathetic to Texas's concerns at the border‚ but to say that the Biden Administration has 'abandoned' the field of immigration is to take hyperbolic criticism literally‚" he wrote. "Contrary to Texas's position‚ the record is replete with examples and evidence of the federal government carrying out its immigration duties.""Texas may disagree with diplomatic efforts or contest their effectiveness‚ but it cannot maintain in good faith that those efforts constitute 'abandonment‚'" Ezra declared‚ accusing Texas of confusing "the figurative for the literal." The federal judge claimed that the state "is unlikely to succeed on the merits." Ezra claimed that if Texas wins the lawsuit and its new law is enforced‚ the federal government "will suffer grave irreparable harm.""If allowed to proceed‚ SB 4 could open the door to each state passing its own version of immigration laws‚" he stated. "The effect would moot the uniform regulation of immigration throughout the country and force the federal government to navigate a patchwork of inconsistent regulations. SB 4 threatens the fundamental notion that the United States must regulate immigration with one voice."Abbott responded to the judge's decision on Thursday‚ noting that the preliminary injunction "was fully expected.""Texas will immediately appeal this decision‚ and we will not back down in our fight to protect our state—and our nation—from President Biden's border crisis. The President of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States‚ including laws already on the books that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. Texas has the right to defend itself because of President Biden's ongoing failure to fulfill his duty to protect our state from the invasion at our southern border. Even from the bench‚ this District Judge acknowledged that this case will ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court‚" Abbott stated. Update: This ruling against #SB4 has been appealed to the Fifth Circuit by the State of Texas. #txlege — (@) Like Blaze News?

The authors of "White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy" blasted the subjects of their book as "anti-gay‚" "xenophobic‚" "anti-democratic‚" "pissed off‚" uneducated supporters of former President Donald Trump in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" earlier this week.What are the details?The program's smug co-host‚ Mika Brzezinski‚ prefaced the segment with authors Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman by wondering why Trump got so much support from rural America when he "became a millionaire at 8 years old and didn't have to serve because he claimed he had bone spurs in his little feet."The far-left Brzezinski asked with a grin‚ "Why are white rural voters a threat to democracy at this point? You would think‚ as we've pointed out‚ looking at Joe Biden's background and Donald Trump’s‚ that the opposite would be true.”Schaller answered that he and Waldman “lay out the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country" in their new book and then dropped his first bomb.“They're the most racist‚ xenophobic‚ anti-immigrant‚ anti-gay geo-demographic group in the country‚" he began. "Second‚ they're the most conspiracist group: QAnon support and subscribers‚ election denialism‚ COVID denialism‚ scientific skepticism‚ Obama birtherism.” Schaller added that white rural Americans hold “anti-democratic sentiments.” “They don’t believe in an independent press‚ free speech. They’re most likely to say the president should be backed unilaterally without any checks from Congress or the courts or the bureaucracy‚" he said. "They're also the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalist. And fourth‚ they’re most likely to excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse.” Brzezinski asked in quite the elitist tone why the subjects of their book are "vulnerable."Waldman replied that it has to do with “problematic education systems‚” “poorer infrastructure” and “a lack of economic opportunity‚" most notably a great loss of manufacturing jobs. “That kind of left them open to someone like Donald Trump who would come along and tell them something that was true — that there is a system that has not served them well‚” Waldman added.“They're pissed off‚” Brzezinski offered off camera. “They are pissed off‚” Waldman affirmed‚ noting that supporting Trump afforded them a way to "channel their rage and anger" and to "give a big middle finger to Democrats."Amazingly‚ know-it-all Brzezinski assumed that what white‚ rural Americans ultimately want is "to be rich."Schaller didn't seem so sure that was accurate and noted that "they'd rather channel their rage."

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D) cut off Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Wednesday as he highlighted the horrors of an abortion procedure.During a Senate Budget Committee hearing on the "economic harms of restricting reproductive freedom‚" Kennedy clashed with Middlebury College economic professor Caitlin Myers.In their exchange‚ Myers agreed with the phrase‚ "reproductive justice is economic justice‚" far-left terminology to promote the supposed economic liberation of abortion access. Myers then refused to describe an unborn human as a "baby‚" but eventually admitted that abortions terminate the lives of unborn human children. — (@) After the tussle‚ Kennedy displayed a photo of an unborn child at 21 weeks gestation‚ observing that it can "feel pain" because it is "pretty developed." Then‚ in horrific detail‚ Kennedy began to describe the abortion process — known as a dilation and evacuation procedure — with an assist from Leslie Ford‚ a witness who Republicans called to the hearing."First‚ the doctor would dilate the cervix‚ and then the doctor would take what's called a sopher clamp — it's really a pair of pliers with sharp teeth on the end — and‚ without giving the baby any pain medication‚ the doctor would go through the vagina‚ through the uterus‚ and start tearing the baby apart‚ is that right?" Kennedy said."And [the doctor] might start with the legs and pull them out‚ and the arms and pull them out‚ right?" he continued. "And then she might go for the heart or the spine and just pull the baby out piece by piece. Is that right? Without giving the baby pain medication?""That's what I understand the procedure to be‚" Ford affirmed."OK‚ but then you've got to get the head out. The baby's dead. Maybe not. Maybe it's still in pain‚ but then you've got to get the head out‚ and — even with the cervix dilated — you've got to get the head out‚ which is hard‚" Kennedy described. "So‚ then the doctor would go in and use those pliers to crush the baby's head. Is that right? And then she'd pull the head out— the crushed skull out‚ right?""As far as I know‚" Ford confirmed.It was at that point that Whitehouse interrupted Kennedy and insisted that his speaking time had expired. Kennedy fired back that others had gone over their time allotment. But Whitehouse wouldn't budge and called on the next senator."I'm sorry you don't want to hear about what happens in an actual abortion‚ but I thought that was what we were here to talk about‚" Kennedy protested.
