On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: President Joe Biden's plan laid out on Twitter to cancel “student loan debt,” that was announced today, is not sitting well with critics, including the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Bedford gives us his takeaways on the results of the primaries in Florida and New York. And a new report says China's mistreatment of the Uyghur religious minority amounts to "modern-day slavery."

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Christopher Bedford, a senior editor at The Federalist and founding partner at RightForge, joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss why the corporate media and the political establishment are hyper-focused on the conflict in Ukraine while regular Americans are worried about inflation, rising gas prices, and other domestic issues -- and why Democrats are in trouble now that the pandemic panic is over.
Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson went through her third day of confirmation hearings. When asked by Senator Blackburn if she could define the word "woman," Judge Jackson refused by saying she wasn't a "biologist." Apparently, one must have a Ph.D. in biology to recognize and articulate the very basic concept of what a woman is. Seems like that should have been an easy answer, but nothing really is when it comes to the woke and social justice crowd. Speaking of biological women, Ukraine is blocking trans women from leaving the country, saying they are men and have to go back to fight. It's easy to play word games until war breaks out and suddenly everything is very clear-cut.

I talk with Christopher Bedford, a founding partner at RightForge, about building a new internet infrastructure company in the shadow of big tech. RightForge is an internet infrastructure provider that claims to be a first of its kind company operating infrastructure while being committed to American ideals online. RightForge is positioning themselves to be a key player for enabling independent free speech platforms to operate outside the gargantuan grasp of big tech providers like Amazon (operator of AWS). With many questions being raised around what constitutes free speech online and when platforms should or shouldn't be allowed to take action against users, RightForge seems positioned well for users who lean towards wanting a more open internet and are concerned about being deplatformed at the infrastructure level. I chatted with Chris about his experiences building a new internet infrastructure provider in an already mature and established industry, what inspired him and his partners to found the company, and the American ideals he sees as a guide to how RightForge should operate and find its niche. I think an overall theme here is looking at why independent platforms may be the future and why RightForge is needed the facilitate new tech entrants build around free speech and American ideals.
