New audio offers insight into Stanford students' wild disruption of federal judge: 'You don't respect us!'

Full audio of U.S. Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan's presentation at Stanford Law School published Wednesday provided greater context with regard to his speech being shut down by protesters and the associate dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach's scolding lecture directed at the judge.

Last week, Duncan's speech before Stanford Law School's The Federalist Society chapter was disrupted by left wing students who claimed he was racist and perpetrating injustice on minorities. Steinbach took the protesters' side and suggested that the Trump-appointed judge's views were "abhorrent," "harmful," and "literally denies the humanity of people."

The elite law school's associate dean also questioned "is the juice worth the squeeze? Is this worth it?" as it pertained to the judge's ability to speak.

HUNDREDS OF MASKED STUDENTS SURROUND STANFORD LAW DEAN FOR APOLOGY TO HECKLED JUDGE: ‘EERIE’

Audio published Wednesday by attorney and legal writer David Lat offered greater context for the disruption. While some previously contended it was only hard to hear the judge due to the poor audio quality of the video, the new recording made clear that when the DEI associate dean was speaking, she was able to be heard perfectly. However, when the judge spoke, there was so much heckling that his speech was not audible to listeners.

The audio recording also revealed the embattled judge dueling with protesters around ten minutes into his speech, after he gave up on being able to deliver his prepared remarks due to all the disruption. Duncan called the left wing campus protesters "juvenile idiots" and said that "prisoners are now running the asylum."

Students screamed "this is our jurisdiction!," "this is a valid form of communication!," and "you don't respect us!" at the judge. Later in his remarks, the judge questioned whether the event had become a "struggle session" - a reference to forced re-education that plagued communist countries in the 20th century.

Duncan's speech was not the only event hosted by a conservative group to be disrupted at a California campus this week. At UC Davis, conservative activist Charlie Kirk's appearance was met with violence and vandalism by ANTIFA members and far-Left students who clashed with police.

In an opinion piece published by Fox News Digital, legal scholar Jonathan Turley argued these two incidents represent a widespread attack on free speech

"Our institutions of higher education have become academic echo chambers where opposing views are no longer tolerated and preventing free speech is claimed to be acts of free speech," the George Washington Law professor wrote.

Illinois mother unable to claim son on taxes as government claims he's dead

It’s tax season — and as any American knows, the process isn't always without complications.

However, for one Illinois mother, the process is especially difficult as the federal government insists the son she is claiming on her tax filing is dead.

The bizarre situation started five years ago after the boy’s father died, Eboney McDaniel, an Elgin resident, told WLS-TV. The two share a last name but not a birthdate or first name, and when she went to go file her taxes that year, she was rejected with a notice that her son’s social security number was rejected.

"As I file him on my taxes, his social security number is rejected. And it's rejected because it's coming up as a death in the system," McDaniel explained to the local outlet. "To see him deceased on paper, it's gut-wrenching. It's a feeling no parent should ever feel."

As for her son Jaxen, he is alive and well, she said.

And, despite numerous attempts to get the Social Security Administration and the IRS to rectify that he is indeed still living, she is given an official document from the government that says her son is dead each year.

In addition to completing the legal filing, she said she needs the refund money to care for her son.

"My son, he has autism, so I need the most support possible," McDaniel told WLS-TV.

The IRS told McDaniel the issue lies with Social Security and Social Security claims the error is with the IRS.

"That leaves me to try to figure out where do I go? Who do I go to?" she pondered.

But, she’s not giving up.

"I am his voice. I am in his person who speaks for him, so, I'm going to keep fighting," the determined mother said.

She also suggested that if the issue is not corrected, it could lead to further complications when her son applies for a job, seeks a mortgage, gets a passport, or files his own taxes.

Separately, Democratic lawmakers have said the COVID-pandemic has put a strain on the IRS and has passed funding under the 117th Congress for the IRS to hire 87,000 more agents. Republicans, now in control of the House of Representatives in the 118th Congress, have called the IRS needlessly complicated and have introduced legislation rescinding that funding.

"Hard-working Americans deserve an accountable government that works for them, not against them," Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado, said in January. "The IRS should never be weaponized against American taxpayers. Rather, it should be focused on providing quality service to taxpayers."

He added: "Rescinding the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents is a great first step in that direction, and I was happy to vote ‘yes’ on this legislation!"

Some Republicans are also eyeing a new tax system overhaul, which could abolish the IRS.
