And I think a lot of parents in this were victims, especially maybe single moms. They've got these rambunctious boys. They have no time to do anything. They're constantly anxious and stretched thin. And lo and behold, out of nowhere comes this diagnosis that, oh, it's If I can just get him on this pill, we can fix things.

And so I think a lot of parents were lied to and manipulated into going along with this who really didn't know better at the time. And it's every bit as sad for the boys who were drugged as it was for the parents who were taken advantage of.

Yes, so Rubio today announced in the pages of The Federalist that the State Department was going to be dismantling what we call the censorship industrial complex. And we at The Federalist were directly targeted by this complex. And in his op-ed, Rubio admits that and says, hey, the State Department targeted The Federalist for destruction.

You guys were reporting things that were inconvenient to the government and the regime. And so they deliberately and maliciously sought to deprive you of ad revenue, of traffic, in the hope of destroying you as a news entity and as a speech entity. And thank goodness for Rubio and Trump for recognizing the threat to a free people that this type of illegal censorship poses.

We ended up having to go sue the State Department, who we're still suing right now for all this illegal, insidious censorship against us. And what is fascinating in this op-ed from Rubio is he admits that even after the congressional authorization for one particular censorship program known as the Global Engagement Center.

Even after the congressional authorization expired, they changed the name of what they were doing, moved the employees into a new area, and let them burrow into the State Department bureaucracy to continue doing everything they were doing. So thank goodness we have an administration that actually believes in the First Amendment. But trust me, the GEC is not the only entity doing this stuff.

It is ongoing. There is an entire Borg – that's why we call it the censorship industrial complex – that exists to shut down anyone who accurately says things that are against the government's interests. And I think that's a really important point. We are not a threat to the regime because – things we say are false.

We are a threat because what we do is report the truth and nothing is more devastating to a tyrant or an autocracy than the truth.

Well, you know, it's actually really complicated and kind of tricky because censorship, there's downstream effects. It's not as if you just say one thing and then that has its effect and then it's over.

I kind of liken this censorship industrial complex to somebody going up on a top of a hill and gathering a whole bunch of gigantic boulders and then pushing them down the hill towards all of their enemies. Once that ball starts rolling, once you've given the tools to destroy people you don't like to the private sector using federal money, you can't just stop it. There's all that momentum.

And so it's great that Rubio is saying, hey, we want to put an end to this. But the harm is ongoing. There's massive boulders that have crushed us and are still coming at us because of the tools and the technologies that our own government paid for and developed for the entire purpose of censoring us.
