| | | Good morning. Legislators and White House officials are furious as the EU prepares to hit X hard, likening it to an "authoritarian" assault on free speech. Plus, there were multiple conservative clashes this week: Douglas Murray vs Dave Smith on Ukraine and Israel, and Matt Walsh vs Megyn Kelly on dating "career driven women." | |

| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🎙️ Douglas Murray challenged Dave Smith on Israel, Ukraine. British author Douglas Murray debated with libertarian and Ukraine/Israel-skeptic Dave Smith on Joe Rogan's podcast, sparking controversy after Murray argued that one must visit a region to speak on it with authority. Murray also confronted Rogan about platforming guests who "just ask questions" while spreading conspiracy-laden takes on complex issues. The exchange underscores a broader rift on the right between those trustful of "experts" and those constantly seeking to question mainstream narratives. | 💥 Matt Walsh sparred with Megyn Kelly. Daily Wire host Matt Walsh caused a stir over his comment that "men are generally not attracted to ambitious, career-driven women," driving commentator Megyn Kelly to respond, "We don't answer to you … stop judging everybody who makes a different choice, I'm sick of it." Despite this spat and their ideological differences on these kinds of issues, both have made clear that they are not actually enemies. | 🤝 Bill Maher praised Trump after their White House dinner. HBO host and prominent liberal comedian Bill Maher revealed details of a private White House meeting with President Trump, describing the former president as "different" in person than expected. The March 31 sit-down, arranged by Kid Rock, turned into a friendly, candid exchange — highlighted by Trump autographing a list of 60 past insults he'd thrown at Maher. Maher told viewers afterwards, "You decide what you think about it. And if that's not enough pure Trump hate for you, I don't give a f**k." | 🇮🇱 Netanyahu met with conservative podcasters about Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held meetings in Washington, DC, with prominent conservative media figures like Dave Rubin, Tim Pool, Sean Spicer, Bethany Mandel, and Mollie Hemingway to discuss growing anti-Israel sentiment online and Israeli foreign policy. Netanyahu's outreach to right-leaning influencers demonstrates his recognition of alternative media's power in shaping public opinion. |
