Spanish-speaking media are very much part and parcel of the Regime Media. Proof evident of that is a recent panel exchange on Univision’s Sunday public affairs show Al Punto, where one of the anchors literally bemoaned the fact that voters don’t read The Economist before weighing in on the economy. Watch as weekend anchor Felix De Bedout talks down to voters: JORGE RAMOS: I want to ask you about the (Kamala Harris) camp- let’s see. FELIX DE BEDOUT: I want to- something on the economy. This is The Econ- this is the cover of The Economist. One of the world’s most important magazines on the economy. And what’s the (cover) title? “The Envy of the World.”  RAMOS: So the United States is the envy of the world. DE BEDOUT: America’s economy. The envy of the world. RAMOS: If you compare it, of course, with Europe and Latin America.  DE BEDOUT: And that is one of the biggest problems for the Biden Administration and for Kamala. They’ve not been able to explain where we’ve come from and why we are here. And, of course, because when people go grocery shopping, things are more expensive. Gas is more expensive. And they’re not reading The Economist. Al Punto recently underwent a format change, perhaps as a function of host Jorge Ramos leaving Univision and no longer being interested in hosting partisan talking heads. Instead of having campaign surrogates debate the issues of the day, Ramos now has his Univision colleagues in a roundtable format. The exchanges are sometimes predictable, sometimes interesting. Such is the case with weekend anchor De Bedout. Nothing screams being in touch with The People like complaining that they don’t read The Economist. One can reasonably infer that if the cost of food, gas, and groceries are substantially higher versus wages, and people are having a harder time to cover these, then perhaps there isn’t 12 bucks laying around for a copy of The Economist. Unfortunately for Univision’s viewers, they don’t have to worry about laying out for the latest issue because they can get browbeaten onTV for free.   

PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez helped get out the vote for Democrats in North Carolina in a report about the gender divide from the campaign trail Friday evening. Barron-Lopez, the News Hour’s most partisan reporter, began with the young chairman of the state’s Democratic Party. Laura Barron-Lopez: Fresh off a tour of 30 college campuses, 26-year-old Democrat Anderson Clayton has been working toward this moment. Anderson Clayton, Chair, North Carolina Democratic Party: This was the first time we ever got in The New York Times. Barron-Lopez: The nation's youngest state party chair decided on a strategy early....To build a coalition of young voters, like Barack Obama did in 2008. 2008 was the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won the state. Barron-Lopez at least gave the Republicans roughly equal time, talking to the chair of the North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans, Emily Stack, and Zander Pitrus, president of the Duke College Republicans, who said that “free speech is nearly nonexistent” at Duke (Though Barron-Lopez made sure to voice a rebuttal statement from Duke University supporting: "a diversity of perspectives on campus.” After jabbing at the Republican gender gap among women at a College Republican gathering ("Also apparent at the gathering, the gender gap, with only one woman student showing up.") She then spoke to Brookings Institution scholar Richard Reeves, who said Trump's appeal to young men had no substance behind it, but that the Democrats had a lot to offer young men. Barron-Lopez: Trump's appeal to young men is not subtle, said Richard Reeves. Richard Reeves, American Institute For Boys and Men: You know, it's UFC, it's podcasts, it's Hulk Hogan tearing off his shirt. Barron-Lopez: But he added, it's also superficial. Reeves: There's no policy behind that. There's no substance behind that. But there is a sense of welcome. Barron-Lopez: Reeves, a scholar on the challenges facing boys and men, said the irony is, Democrats have more concrete proposals benefiting young men, like Medicaid expansion and jobs created by the infrastructure bill. But they don't sell it as good for men or pro-male. The PBS reporter circled back to the NC Democratic Party chairwoman. Barron-Lopez: For Anderson Clayton, there's no denying that Harris expanded the map for Democrats. Clayton: I do think that she has made a world of difference being at the top of the ticket this year….[compared to Joe Biden] Then she snuck in the punch line: Barron-Lopez: If Clayton is right, it would be only the second time since the 1970s that North Carolina has gone blue. For the "PBS News Hour," I'm Laura Barron-Lopez in Durham, North Carolina. Barron-Lopez preformed a similar pro-Democratic closer on the October 17 show, emphasizing abortion’s appeal to Democratic voters in Arizona and Nevada, ending her report: Barron-Lopez: [Trump 2020 voter] Crystal's own experiences are motivating her to back Harris. And the country's post-Roe landscape could lead more voters like her to cross the aisle this November. A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 10/25/24 7:26:58 p.m. (ET) Amna Nawaz: Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by double digits among voters under the age of 30. But underneath that data lies important signals about the gender divide and the issues that matter to young Americans. Laura Barron-Lopez has this report from the swing state of North Carolina. Woman: Vote, baby. Woman: Let's vote! Woman: Let's do it. Laura Barron-Lopez: Fresh off a tour of 30 college campuses, 26-year-old Democrat Anderson Clayton has been working toward this moment. Anderson Clayton, Chair, North Carolina Democratic Party: This was the first time we ever got in The New York Times. Laura Barron-Lopez: The nation's youngest state party chair decided on a strategy early. Anderson Clayton: The misconception is that somebody like me could not do a job like this. Laura Barron-Lopez: To build a coalition of young voters, like Barack Obama did in 2008. Barack Obama, Former President of the United States: There are those who are saying that North Carolina would be a game changer. Laura Barron-Lopez: The last time a Democratic presidential candidate won North Carolina. Anderson Clayton: We put an emphasis on young voters because that is where I think the party had lacked the emphasis. We know that North Carolina youth vote is going to change this election cycle for us. And that meant that we needed young people to get out there and organize young people. Laura Barron-Lopez: As for former President Donald Trump's recent inroads with Gen Z men, Clayton pointed to Democrats' edge with women. Anderson Clayton: We're doing everything we can to combat that. But I also think that our demographics and where we need to push on doesn't just rely on young men. It relies on getting out and targeting women, marginalized communities, people that our party actually speaks for. Laura Barron-Lopez: Nationally, polls show a significant gender gap among young voters, ages 18 to 29. That's driven in part by a Harris lead of 30 points or more among young women. Anderson Clayton: One of these young women is Chantel Chestnutt, who is excited to cast her very first presidential ballot for Harris this year. Chantel Chestnutt, Harris Supporter: It just feels good, especially her being an HBCU graduate. Laura Barron-Lopez: Like most of the students we talked to at the historically Black College of North Carolina Central University, one of Chantel's biggest issues is abortion and women's rights. Chantel Chestnutt There's a lot of things at stake here. And I feel like the outcome of this election will not only shape the next four years, but really shape the next maybe decade, two decades, and a lot of my life. So I feel like this election is very important for me to vote, make my voice heard. Laura Barron-Lopez: About 40 million Gen Z voters are eligible to vote this year. Those young voters could be the deciding factor here in North Carolina, a state that Donald Trump won by roughly 75,000 votes in 2020. Emily Stack, Chair, North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans: Right now, I think they care most about the economy. They're coming out of college and they're wondering, hey, where am I going to find a job? Laura Barron-Lopez: Thirty-year-old Emily Stack, the head of North Carolina's Federation of Young Republicans, is trying to change her party's typical difficulty with reaching younger Americans. Emily Stack: In general, the Republican Party always needs to be better at just talking to the younger voter, because, a lot of times, as you know, even in politics in general, we have an older population that runs government.   Laura Barron-Lopez: Stack says the state's network of College Republicans will be key to turnout. Zander Pitrus, President, Duke College Republicans: On campus, free speech is nearly nonexistent. Laura Barron-Lopez: Zander Pitrus, a junior at Duke, restarted the school's chapter of College Republicans this month, in the hopes of providing an outlet for conservative students. Zander Pitrus: There will be a growing number once Republicans are less fearful on campus, experience less censorship and even self-censorship on campus, where they're willing to come out of the woodwork. Laura Barron-Lopez: In a statement to "News Hour," Duke University said: "We believe in fostering a diversity of perspectives on campus, and we supported the group's return to ensure that a wide range of viewpoints is represented at Duke. At the first ever meeting of this revitalized club, 12 students were in attendance. But at least one wasn't voting for Trump. Matthew Klinger, Harris Supporter: We have to go beyond talking points. Laura Barron-Lopez: Twenty-one-year-old Matthew Klinger, a registered Republican, doesn't agree with most of Harris' policies, but is putting that aside to vote for her. Matthew Klinger: I'm pro-life. I think that a limited government is what's best for the economy and what's best for the people. But I also believe in truth and I believe in empathy. And I do not think that Donald Trump represents those values. I look at his attack of the Capitol on January 6, his consistent belittling of immigrants and made-up stories about people eating cats and dogs in Ohio, for example. All these things, I do not think represent a man that should be in charge of our country. Woman: There's no more party of small government. Laura Barron-Lopez: Also apparent at the gathering, the gender gap, with only one woman student showing up. Trevor Darr, Trump Supporter: Identity politics has improved culture and society in some ways. Laura Barron-Lopez: Eighteen-year-old Trevor Darr understands why most women may not vote for Trump. But he says young men don't feel welcome in the Democratic Party. Trevor Darr: I think the Democratic Party, as of late, has put place a lot of societal vilification the shoulders of young men and saying that we're the source of a lot of social ills in America. And Donald Trump has repudiated that message in a lot of ways. Laura Barron-Lopez: Trevor's support of Trump is based mainly on foreign policy. But he added that, overall, Trump does more to engage his generation in their social media spaces. Trevor Darr: I think he knows how to use cultural vehicles to be able to reach my demographic. I think pointing at the Adin Ross podcast is a really good example of how the Trump campaign has been willing to use atypical campaigning measures, using avenues that are dominated by that young male demographic to then reach them. Man: I know President Trump is a fighter. Laura Barron-Lopez: Trump's appeal to young men is not subtle, said Richard Reeves. Richard Reeves, American Institute For Boys and Men: You know, it's UFC, it's podcasts, it's Hulk Hogan tearing off his shirt. Laura Barron-Lopez: But he added, it's also superficial. Richard Reeves: There's no policy behind that. There's no substance behind that. But there is a sense of welcome. Laura Barron-Lopez: Reeves, a scholar on the challenges facing boys and men, said the irony is, Democrats have more concrete proposals benefiting young men, like Medicaid expansion and jobs created by the infrastructure bill. But they don't sell it as good for men or pro-male. Richard Reeves: It's a bit more of a head-scratcher as to what's happening with those young men. My view is that it's because the left and the Democrats have just not contested enough. They have ceded too much ground on this issue. I'm quite convinced that that's part of the problem here, is that young men today don't see an obvious scripted place for themselves in society and in community and in the family in the way that their fathers did. What ends up being the choice for a lot of men is feeling like a left that's turned its back on them and a right that thinks the solution is to turn back the clock on women. Laura Barron-Lopez: Back at North Carolina Central University, 21-year-old Amari Glover said some of his friends have told him they might back Trump. Amari Glover, Harris Supporter: I have noticed this, especially because he hangs out with a lot of the rappers that my generation is cool with. So I feel like that's a way for him to influence us, because we will see that and say, oh, Trump is cool, or he gets us, he understands, when, really, I just feel like it's a tactic to get his way inside. Laura Barron-Lopez: But he was on his way to vote for Harris.   Amari Glover: When I'm thinking about representation, honestly. I feel like Kamala is a great representation of what America should be and what it can be in the next four years. Anderson Clayton: Even before the world and the country believed it, she believed that North Carolina was a swing state. Laura Barron-Lopez: For Anderson Clayton, there's no denying that Harris expanded the map for Democrats. Anderson Clayton: I do think that she has made a world of difference being at the top of the ticket this year. And folks knew that North Carolina was going to be a marginal state, and it's a state where, like, that energy level could be that margin, right? It could push people over the top to get out and vote. And I think that there is a huge impact and a wave of opportunity here that Joe Biden would not have had, honestly. Laura Barron-Lopez: If Clayton is right, it would be only the second time since the 1970s that North Carolina has gone blue. For the "PBS News Hour," I'm Laura Barron-Lopez in Durham, North Carolina.

Democrats have never been particularly shy of showing off their true colors, but as Election Day gets closer, they’re becoming even bolder. Joy Behar of “The View” is a prime example as she ramps up her blatantly untrue rhetoric that paints Donald Trump as America’s Hitler. “I don’t even know what to say anymore,” Behar told the panel. “If people still follow this fascist pig, then I don’t know what else to say. I really don’t.” Behar then went on an insane, barely intelligible, totally fabricated rant. “It’s like, how many times we have to hear him say that referring to immigrants as animals and Hitler called cleansing Germany of all those parasites, referring to immigrants, and he called Jews lice and this guy Trump calls people vermin,” she said, stumbling anxiously through the run on sentence. “It’s the same language that Hitler used,” she added. “I think you’ve really hit the note,” Sunny Hostin replied, proving herself as delusional as Behar. Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is having a hard time even knowing how to respond to their unhinged beliefs. “I don’t even know that I can analyze that clip,” he says. “When Trump’s talking about ‘vermin’ and all of these other names, he’s not talking about legal immigrants, he is talking about Venezuelan gang members. He’s talking about people that rape people. He’s talking about people who bring fentanyl all over.” “You’re all idiots and liars,” he continues, adding, “And you know it. That’s you, literally. Ladies of ‘The View,’ you have the job you have because a corporation pays you to sit there and lie so that the Democrats can retain power. It’s as simple as that.” 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.

As the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs become ever more sickening — the latest is that he raped a 13-year-old girl with another celebrity, while a female star watched — one might start to wonder just how he accrued so much power and influence in the first place. Put bluntly: How did an exceedingly average rapper with no discernible talent become one of the most influential figures in hip hop?The answer? Clive Davis.Why has Davis remained so untouchable? The most logical explanation, I suggest, is that he’s a protected government informant.Call me DaddyDiddy didn’t rise through musical genius or visionary skill. He wasn’t Tupac, whose words carried the weight of a generation, or Dr. Dre, who transformed the genre with his beats. No, Diddy’s real talent lay in playing the role of a figurehead, and the man pulling the strings behind the scenes was Clive Davis. It was Davis who saw Diddy’s malleability, his willingness to play the game, and his lack of real power. Diddy wasn’t chosen for his musical prowess — he was chosen because he was controllable. Davis needed a puppet — someone only too willing to bend over and take it like a "man." Diddy fit the bill perfectly.To many readers, the name Clive Davis might not be immediately recognizable. But within the music industry, he holds a reputation comparable to that of Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood. And the comparisons to Weinstein are fitting in more ways than one.The 92-year-old’s career is riddled with corruption, criminality, and exploitation, all meticulously avoided by sanitized hagiographies that celebrate Davis as the music biz's benevolent elder statesman.One cannot discuss Davis without discussing his notorious involvement in the so-called "drugola" scandal while president of CBS Records in the early 1970s. A sleazy update on payola — the practice in which record companies bribe radio station DJs to give certain songs more airplay, artificially inflating their popularity — drugola added heroin and cocaine to sweeten the pot. The scheme unraveled when David Wynshaw, a CBS executive, was arrested in connection with a heroin ring tied to the mafia. Wynshaw cooperated with federal authorities, revealing that Columbia had paid $250,000 in bribes to radio stations, particularly those catering to black audiences, to boost the airplay of its artists. This revelation implicated Davis in a wider network that combined corporate interests with criminal activities.Davis’ proximity to organized crime became increasingly evident as more details emerged. Wynshaw's testimony revealed weekly payoffs to Kal Rudman, a powerful figure in radio promotion, and Davis himself was accused of misappropriating over $94,000 of company funds for personal use. Davis’ ties to the Genovese crime family further entangled him in a world where music and mafia operations collided; the Brooklyn-born executive kept up appearances by funneling his dirty money through a maze of shell companies.Unbelievably, Davis never spent a single day behind bars. The elites don’t just play by different rules — they write them. And in Clive Davis’ case, he’s the one holding the pen.That’s my boyIn 1993, Davis took the future Diddy (then going by Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs) under his wing, launching Bad Boy Records and making the then-24-year-old the next big name in hip-hop. And Diddy never, ever forgot his daddy. His endless praise for Davis — his talk of “forever gratitude” and “LOVE” — is more than just flattery. It’s a confession. Without Davis, Diddy would be nothing. It was Davis who gave him the industry muscle to launch Bad Boy Entertainment. Every step of Diddy’s rise, from his multimillion-dollar empire to his rather impressive lube collection, traces back to Davis’ early investment. Of course, as is clear now, Diddy’s success had its casualties. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of TLC, a group that skyrocketed to fame only to go bankrupt — thanks to Davis siphoning off their earnings — was one of them. Always outspoken, Lopes was reportedly gearing up to confront Davis and demand her share. But before she could make a move, Diddy allegedly tipped off Davis, shutting down her plan. Soon after, Lopes died in a car crash in Honduras. Officially ruled an accident, her death left many wondering if it was more than that — a message about what happens when you challenge the wrong people.Who shot ya?In truth, Diddy's entire career has been characterized by dark moments that mysteriously go unpunished. In 1991, at a City College event he organized, a stampede left nine people dead after warnings of overcrowding were ignored. The tragedy should have destroyed him, yet Diddy, much like his mentor, managed to emerge from the chaos unscathed. The same could be said for the unsolved murders of the aforementioned Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.Eminem recently reignited rumors linking Diddy to the murders of the hip-hop heavyweights on his track “Fuel.” The "Rap God" first hinted at Diddy’s involvement in Tupac’s death on his 2018 dis track “Killshot." But last month, he took things up a notch, suggesting that Biggie’s murder was also directly tied to Diddy. With lines like, “Puff’s? Till he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up?” Eminem makes his accusations clear. With the two biggest names in rap eliminated, Diddy's path to the top of the musical mountain was cleared.A path paved by Davis, a man whose influence extends far beyond his perverted protégé.Collateral damageTake his relationship with the late, great Whitney Houston, for instance. Publicly, Davis claimed the singer was like a daughter to him, but when she was found dead in the Beverly Hilton, Davis carried on as if nothing had happened. To be clear, he partied the night away as Houston’s lifeless body lay just a few floors above. Like so many other artists, Houston was a pawn in Davis’ larger game, discarded when she was no longer useful to him. Why has Davis remained so untouchable? The most logical explanation, I suggest, is that he’s a protected government informant. How else could one operate with such impunity? The partnership between Davis and Diddy reveals the ugliest truth about the music industry: It’s not about art or talent — it’s about power and control, subterfuge and sabotage. Diddy wasn’t a visionary — he was a sycophantic stooge. Lisa Lopes and Whitney Houston weren’t just stars who burned out too soon — they were collateral damage. Diddy might be a monster, but never forget Clive Davis — the mastermind who created him.
