The price of freedom of speech is eternal vigilance.

From The Armstrong Williams Show

[Elatenl]

Why does this look like a Red Alert 2 cutscene

[petersent]

Well to be vigilant, the U.S. did not levy tariffs on Russia, and the treasury secretary said that was because they wanted to focus on negotiations. Oh, they did decide to tariff Ukraine though…

[DevonSherwood]

Talking about propaganda on newsmax is interesting…

[grmasdfII]

For someone who claims to not "do politics", that was one hell of a politicians answer.

[RAT]

It’s not propaganda to say crashing the economy, raising taxes on us through tariffs, and wrecking retirements are all bad things. Very 1984 to say criticism of Trump’s policies must be manufactured by our adversaries.

[josephd.]

You can do so much better than Newsmax.

[charlesparr]

The irony of someone taking about freedom of speech on Newsmax does not escape me.

[wilsi]

No country is inherently good. We have to work toward that and earn it.

[NYexpatriot]

“Russia, China, Mexico”?
One of these things is not like the others…

[TheHarbingerofImpendingDoom]

Sorry... WHO is taking advantage of America???

[britishrocklovingyank]

Ryan when Trump rolls the tanks on American streets, "This is actually very cool and normal. Trump is just doing a great thing here. This isn't authoritarian."

[Yerdadada]

No nation is "inherently good" and that kind of blindness makes it very easy to be manipulated... If you are inherently good it is by definition very difficult to acknowledge when things are wrong. In virtually every regime, no matter how brutal, many of those involved believe they are on the right side of history.

I say this as someone who would generally argue that the US, has, overall, been a positive influence globally (with some really serious caveats to that statement)

[benrutgers]

Oh Ryan, I'm sorry to see you go down this path

[bryanwalsh]

The irony. Here, a MAGA propagandist, tries to point out how dangerous propaganda is.

[Mesjasz]

Please elaborate on " american goodness" Ryan. Being Polish, I didn't really understood why most of your community seemed very disappointed when you took that job at Newsmax. But then I read about them, and watched some their videos. I mean, the level of mental gymnastics you need to do to explain to yourself what you are doing there must be incredible

[yasmineyusuf]

1) The discussion of how bad Trump’s tariffs are not foreign influence propaganda.
2) Most people are good people. The government of a country isn’t a determining factor of how good the civilians are. Everywhere you go, most people are nice.

[marcuslang]

The question kind of implies, that the US 'is taken advantage of'... This is essentially BS

[tele]

Remember when Ryan called out disinformation.

[AnthonyGTrees]

“We tend to be very good people here in America “
Ryan McBeth

Take it from an American. This is not only propaganda, but an absolute blatant lie.

[BradfordRMcKnight]

Ryan… this the worst propaganda I have ever seen. This one video alone makes me question our country’s entire existence.
