Did the Nazis use free speech to carry out the Holocaust?
No, free speech was not used to conduct the Holocaust. The genocide was carried out by an authoritarian Nazi regime that was fundamentally opposed to free expression. As explained in the clip, the Holocaust was perpetrated because the Nazi regime hated Jews, minorities, and others they targeted, not because of free speech principles. This misconception conflates state oppression with free expression. The Nazi regime was genocidal due to its authoritarian, hateful ideology, not because of free speech. The clip challenges the claim made by CBS's Margaret Brennan, who incorrectly suggested that free speech was weaponized to carry out the Holocaust when discussing J.D. Vance's speech on free expression.

How is the Trump administration addressing concerns about Social Security?
The Trump administration is working to counter misleading narratives from mainstream media that suggest they are targeting Americans' Social Security benefits. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasizes that despite claims from what she calls 'fake news reporters' who are 'fear mongering,' the administration is not going after citizens' Social Security checks or tax dollars. Leavitt states she has been actively fighting against these narratives in Washington D.C. and wanted to 'set the Record straight' about the administration's position. Rather than threatening Social Security benefits, the administration appears focused on defending the program while addressing waste and fraud.
