Frederick Douglass is remembered as one of the most powerful orators in American history, a leading voice for abolition, and an extraordinary champion of equal rights. He was also one of the 19th century's most important thinkers about freedom of speech. For Douglass, free speech was not simply a constitutional protection against government censorship. It was a fundamental human right, an indispensable weapon in the struggle against slavery, and an essential condition of equal citizenship and self-government. In this episode, scholar Jacob Mchangama examines Douglass's remarkably expansive understanding of free speech, drawing on a new research project that examines hundreds of his speeches, writings, and letters. Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer at the National Constitution Center, moderates.    Resources  The Future of Free Speech, Jacob Mchangama  Frederick Douglass Free Speech Corpus, Jacob Mchangama  “Free Speech in a Changing World,” We the People (July 30, 2026)  Jacob Mchangama, Free Speech: A History From Socrates to Social Media (2022)   Jacob Mchangama and Jeff Kosseff, The Future of Free Speech: Reversing the Global Decline of Democracy's Most Essential Freedom (2026)  Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition, National Constitution Center  First Amendment: Speech and Press Clauses, National Constitution Center    Stay Connected and Learn More  Stay connected with We the People—follow, rate, and review the show wherever you listen.  Questions or comments?

Did the media really uncover the truth about Watergate — or did it help bury it? Today on The Amber May Show, Amber is joined by John O'Connor, attorney, legal analyst, and author of Postgate, to take a hard look at one of the biggest political scandals in American history. Most Americans were taught that The Washington Post and Deep Throat helped expose Watergate and bring down President Nixon. But O'Connor says that story is far from complete. According to Postgate, the Washington Post did not simply report the truth — it redirected it. O'Connor argues the paper betrayed Deep Throat, obscured key facts, and helped create a journalistic smoke screen that kept the public from seeing the full picture. He says the conventional Watergate narrative was shaped not just by political wrongdoing, but by media misdirection. Was Deep Throat used? Did the press distort the story? And did the Washington Post help build the very model for today's partisan advocacy journalism? This is a powerful conversation about betrayal, cover-ups, media deception, and the real truth behind Watergate.

"In most other countries, there are laws, criminal laws that prohibit the expression of racial hatred or incitement to racial hatred," says Samantha Barbas, author of Hate Speech: The Legal and Cultural History of an American Dilemma, in this episode of the Modern Law Library. "There are no hate speech laws in the United States, and that makes the U.S. a true exception, a true outlier in the world. And so my book was trying to get to the question, why did the U.S. take this unique path? How do we explain that historically? Where and when and why did we diverge from the path that was taken by most other countries?" World War II prompted a barrage of hate speech legislation after it ended, but not in the United States, Barbas tells host Lee Rawles. "We had just seen how totalitarian governments establish themselves through censorship," Barbas says. "There are two really important ideals that seem to be clashing in the post-war era. Many hate speech laws are proposed, but they are rejected or struck down on free speech grounds. So at this moment when Europe is adopting hate speech laws, America is going the other way: Proposing them, but then rejecting them, and that consensus in favor of freedom of speech is going to hold for several decades." In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Barbas and Rawles discuss how American courts and society have dealt with hate speech issues in the past, and how the growing awareness of psychological harm has impacted public attitudes about hate speech. They also explore Henry Ford and the Dearborn Independent, D. W. Griffith and Birth of a Nation, the Streisand Effect, and a series of cases about Illinois Nazis.

The treason trial of Tanzanian opposition head Tundu Lissu is in its final stages. Lissu could face the death penalty if convicted. Political analyst Paternus Niyegira and DW reporter Naomi Jasseda weigh in on his fate.

Today on The Amber May Show, Amber sits down with A.J. Rice, host of the Dangerous Laughter podcast, president and CEO of Publius PR, editor-in-chief of The Publius National Post, and author of The Curse of the Bearded Lady: How the Trans Mafia Whacked American Sanity. A.J. brings his trademark humor and sharp political commentary to one of the most heated cultural debates in America. The conversation tackles gender politics, women's sports, parental rights, free speech, media influence, political correctness, and the growing pressure Americans feel to stay silent about controversial issues. Amber also asks A.J. about the power of political satire, whether humor can break through ideological pressure, and how independent media is changing the way Americans get their news. This is a bold, funny, and thought-provoking conversation about culture, media, politics, and whether Americans are still free to openly disagree. If you are tired of carefully scripted political conversations, this episode is for you.

Mizzou officials say the individual seen on video at this week's Turning Point USA event in Columbia is NOT a Mizzou student and has been trespassed from campus. The person addressed Turning Point USA leaders on-campus. The video shows a representative of Turning Point USA asking the person “So you are for people being killed for freedom of speech.” The person responded “Yeah, absolutely.” Mizzou TPUSA president Nate Vass was live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" and tells listeners that the individual who said that is "evil." Mr. Vass says there were about 250 people in the crowd for the event:

What happens when you refuse to let hardship, disability, fear, or circumstances decide who you will become? Today on The Amber May Show, Amber is joined by friends Matthew and Joy Thayer for a powerful conversation connected to No Limbs No Limits: The Nick V Story, the new film telling the remarkable story of Nick Vujicic and his journey from depression and adversity to faith, purpose, and inspiring millions around the world. Matthew shares a deeply personal message: “Don't rob the world of who you could become.” Amber also takes the conversation home to Arizona with her latest YourNews.com story about Mountain Ridge High School athletes who are giving back to their community by reading with elementary students at Copper Creek. These young athletes are discovering that their influence reaches far beyond the football field, volleyball court, or sidelines. Today's show is about purpose, character, faith, service, and the people you impact along the way. Sometimes changing someone's life starts with simply showing up.

Aries addresses the Vlad fallout head-on this week: an apology to his fans for how he handled it, the lawsuit threat, the "Uncle Tom" jab, and why he says Vlad's claims about his openers and crowds don't hold up. Andy pushes him on accountability, and the conversation turns into a real debate about holding your own community to the same standard you hold yourself to. Then the crew gets into the Converse ad controversy. Was it a dog whistle, a bad crop that went viral, or both? Andy tells the story of accidentally running a swastika in a college newspaper ad, and Aries asks why these "coincidences" always seem to land on Black people.

The Last Guerilla Hussein is back on WiseNuts — and this conversation goes everywhere.From Sharia law, Islam and immigration to capitalism, socialism, Big Tech and government surveillance, Hussein sits down with the WiseNuts crew for a wide-ranging debate about some of the biggest cultural and political issues facing America and the West.The conversation gets into why Hussein left Florida for California, misconceptions surrounding Sharia law, changing demographics in places like London, immigration and assimilation, and why he says his views sometimes overlap with those of Christian nationalists — despite coming from a Lebanese Muslim background.The guys also debate whether the American Dream is becoming harder to achieve, rising housing costs, corporate monopolies, Google and Big Tech, capitalism vs socialism, privacy and how much information we willingly hand over through social media and technology.Later, the discussion turns to parenting, relationships, modern culture, illegal immigration, the two-party political system, Israel's influence in American politics, freedom of speech and Hussein's belief that freedom of thought may be even more important.It all ends with a deeper conversation about morality, reason, the soul, what it means to be a good person and how division can be used to keep people fighting amongst themselves.Another unfiltered WiseNuts conversation with plenty of disagreements, debates and perspectives along the way.Don't forget to Like & Subscribe to our YouTube Channel so you never miss an episode!

Tudor Dixon sits down with Yasmine Mohammed, author of Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims, for a deeply personal conversation about her upbringing, escape from an abusive forced marriage, and her views on the rise of political Islam in Western countries. Mohammed recounts growing up in Canada after her family became increasingly fundamentalist, being forced to wear the hijab, experiencing abuse as a child, and eventually being married at 19 to a man she describes as an al-Qaeda operative. She explains how becoming a mother ultimately pushed her to break away and protect her daughter. Tudor and Yasmine also discuss Islamism, the Muslim Brotherhood, Sharia law, Iran’s Woman, Life, Freedom movement, antisemitism, October 7, and the distinction Mohammed draws between individual Muslims and Islamist political ideology. Mohammed also discusses her work with the Clarity Coalition and why she believes Western societies need to be willing to openly debate religious extremism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"In most other countries, there are laws, criminal laws that prohibit the expression of racial hatred or incitement to racial hatred," says Samantha Barbas, author of Hate Speech: The Legal and Cultural History of an American Dilemma, in this episode of the Modern Law Library. "There are no hate speech laws in the United States, and that makes the U.S. a true exception, a true outlier in the world. And so my book was trying to get to the question, why did the U.S. take this unique path? How do we explain that historically? Where and when and why did we diverge from the path that was taken by most other countries?" World War II prompted a barrage of hate speech legislation after it ended, but not in the United States, Barbas tells host Lee Rawles. "We had just seen how totalitarian governments establish themselves through censorship," Barbas says. "There are two really important ideals that seem to be clashing in the post-war era. Many hate speech laws are proposed, but they are rejected or struck down on free speech grounds. So at this moment when Europe is adopting hate speech laws, America is going the other way: Proposing them, but then rejecting them, and that consensus in favor of freedom of speech is going to hold for several decades." In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Barbas and Rawles discuss how American courts and society have dealt with hate speech issues in the past, and how the growing awareness of psychological harm has impacted public attitudes about hate speech. They also explore Henry Ford and the Dearborn Independent, D. W. Griffith and Birth of a Nation, the Streisand Effect, and a series of cases about Illinois Nazis.

This week lawmakers on the Legislature's Audit and Fiscal Review Committee heard remarkable testimony on a review of the North Dakota Development Fund. That fund was created in 1991 to provide capital, or "gap financing," to more risky projects in the state that can't get access to more traditional financing. An audit of the fund found woeful documentation for things like performance, investments, and conflicts of interest. On this Plain Talk, Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, who monitored the committee meeting as a member of Legislative Management, said he questions whether the fund ought to continue to exist. "I think the deliberation in the upcoming session is: is that still a worthy objective for the state to be pursuing, that sort of risky gap financing that, admittedly, North Dakota Development Fund is supposed to be pursuing?" He said that the Legislature is ready to "wield the power of the purse" over the program "if there aren't some what we see as necessary changes." Hogue also discussed Measure 1. That proposed constitutional measure, put on the November ballot by lawmakers, would require that future amendments get at least 60% of the vote. That debate may end up being the most expensive race in North Dakota of the 2026 campaign season. Gov. Kelly Armstrong is backing a "yes" vote on the measure. Opposing it is a D.C.-based group called the Fairness Project. Already roughly $1 million has been spent on television advertising for and against the measure, with weeks left to go in campaign season. "Our constitution is the place where we house our core fundamental values like freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and those values should not be altered by a simple majority," Hogue said of the measure. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the upcoming Plain Talk Debates and our decision not to include independent candidates. We'll be recording debates in the U.S. House race on October 13, and they'll be released on the podcast, on YouTube, and on WDAY Xtra starting on October 14. If you'd like to submit questions for the candidates for U.S. House, Agriculture Commissioner, Superintendent of Schools, and representatives of the campaigns for and against Measure 2 (the school meals measure), send them in at PlainTalkND.com.

Born in New York City in 1924, Shirley Chisholm was the first Black woman elected to the United States Congress, and in 1972, she became the first Black woman from a major political party to run for President. As an outspoken politician, educator, and activist, Chisholm fought for gender and racial equality, better wages for workers, and a more equal and just world. In 2015, she was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama, who echoed the words Chisholm herself said she wanted to be remembered by: “Shirley Chisholm had guts.” [This episode originally aired September 2021.] About the Narrator Maya is a recent college graduate who began her Tiktok career during the quarantine lockdown in spring of 2020. As Maya started exploring more ways Tiktok could be used as a means of political change, she began writing witty raps about the former president, which eventually became the “Trump Freestyle” series. As her platform grew, she began making funny educational videos explaining a range of political topics from freedom of speech to how the impeachment process works. She has used her platform to encourage viewers to engage in politics not only through voting, but also by registering as poll workers, contacting their representatives, and even participating in civil disobedience movements like reserving tickets to Trump's June 2020 Tulsa rally. Maya has also received national press coverage this year surrounding her work feeding those in need around St. Louis using her unused university meal plan. In her free time Maya loves writing music and playing tennis.  Credits This podcast is a production of Rebel Girls and is based on the book series Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.

Proletarian TV | 6 September 2026 At the launch of the Antifascist International on Saturday the 5th of September in London, Dr Massoud Shadjareh of the IHRC spoke at the session on “Political freedom under attack” He highlighted the work of the IHRC, speaking up for the rights of British citizens to speak freely in support of Palestine. Much of this work was embodied in the UN REPORT https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/ge... Which CONCLUDED on the IHRA wda: “97. The “working definition” of antisemitism by the International Holocaust Remembrance Association [IHRA] is incompatible with international standards on freedom of expression. States should rescind their adoption and application of it and refrain from promoting it.” “The Secretary-General has the honour to transmit to the General Assembly the report of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, Irene Khan, submitted in accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 43/4.” The world has rejected the IHRA wda as an attack on freedom of speech, as political censorship and repression that SUPPORTS THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA.

Our I Love the 90s series lands on 1997, the year Titanic and As Good as It Gets arrived in theaters and Tiger Woods won his first Masters. Don and Dude take on "the rest" and rock, pairing a gathering of Cuban musical veterans celebrating their country's traditions with a metal heavyweight chasing bluesy riffs and unexpected sounds.The AlbumsBuena Vista Social Club – Buena Vista Social Club (1997)Assembled for these sessions rather than a standing band, the group came together through Juan de Marcos González, with Compay Segundo guiding the repertoire, Ibrahim Ferrer pulled back from shining shoes, pianist Rubén González out of retirement, Eliades Ochoa bringing eastern Cuba's country music, and Omara Portuondo on the only female lead vocal. After visa problems kept the originally planned Malian players away, Ry Cooder and World Circuit's Nick Gold changed course, cutting about a week of dance songs, boleros and instrumentals at Havana's EGREM studios in 1996, mostly live in the room.Metallica – Reload (1997)Sixteen years after Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield met through a newspaper ad, the lineup with Kirk Hammett and Jason Newsted had moved from thrash through the Black Album into the blues and alternative rock of Load. Reload came from those same Bob Rock sessions in Sausalito, built from songs left unfinished and reworked in 1997 with heavier grooves, contrasting guitars, a Marianne Faithfull guest vocal, and stray hurdy-gurdy and violin.Diggin' AlbumsStanley Simmons – Dancing While the World Is Ending (2026)Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, sons of KISS members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, skip arena metal for a Rob Cavallo produced debut steeped in '70s folk, Americana and roots rock.Creed – My Own Prison (1997)The Tallahassee band's roughly $6,000 debut, self-released before Wind-up remixed it, turned Scott Stapp's songs about faith, guilt and redemption into one of late-'90s post-grunge's defining records.Bloc Party – Anatomy of a Brief Romance (2026)The British indie rock band's seventh album, produced by Trevor Horn, wraps Kele Okereke's account of a new romance after a long separation in synth-heavy arrangements.The Proclaimers – You May Offend (2026)Scottish brothers Craig and Charlie Reid return with their thirteenth studio album and first since 2022's Dentures Out, taking on contemporary Britain and freedom of speech.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, email your own favorites to podcast@albumnerds.com, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."You'll have bad times, but it'll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to." - Sean Maguire (Robin Williams), Good Will Hunting (1997)

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 7 A-Block (SPECIAL COMMENT): I confess - I fell for it. Trump banned CNN and MS Now from the White House and I immediately thought: the rest of the media finally, FINALLY, has to walk out and not give this bastard any further coverage. No - I was wrong. Then I thought: he ADMITS “we took the freedom of speech away.” And I thought: it IS the most blatant attack on the 1st Amendment in the history of our country And it should – it WILL – it MUST inspire even this nation’s somnambulant media to rise up as one and for once use its power to fight back – to defend not their jobs, but their country. No. I was wrong. On second thought, I realized this was a set-up. Trump has picked fights with Iran, with Canada, the EU, over oil, over tariffs, over hockey, over arches, over the Kennedy Center - and he's lost them all. He needs a fight against a weak opponent who will fold up when the first punch lands. It's his only chance to salvage the midterms. Weak opponent? Who will fold up? When the first punch lands? That's our White House press corps! I'm asking them to do what comes naturally to them - do nothing. Nothing until after Trump gets fricasseed in the midterms. Don't give him the fight he needs. Then, humiliate him. And at this rate he is going to get fricasseed. 97% chance the Democrats take the house, 65% the Democrats take the Senate, Democrats winning all the key Senate races (the one in North Carolina by FIFTEEN points). Let's not shoot off our big bazoos and snatch defeat from the jaws of Trump's defeat. Also: he's threatening Iran again, the Greenland deal is just a climbdown, and if the 25-story D.C. Arch (a life-sized reproduction of Trump's ego) weren't already bad enough, he's added a platform for snipers and a staging ground for drones. Because that's what you need next to a major airport. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: King Charles, some rando on Threads who thinks the Democrats are admitting "illegal ALLENS" and Puck media guy Dylan Byers, not only carrying water for the disaster that is Bari Weiss, but now with new reported financial conflicts of interest whenever he covers CBS (The Conservative Brainwashing System). C-Block (51:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: MS NOW is in the news for being too political and as the founder of the only iteration of it or MSNBC that succeeded, I find this infuriating - and ironic. During my first stint there in 1997-98 we were so non-political and so ultra-tabloid that I walked in one day and the rundown said our lead story was an advance look at the publication of "The Farmers' Almanac" and our guest was its publisher.

It's Monday, September 21st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Chinese Communists arrest 11 from Early Rain Covenant Church As the elders of the 500-member Early Rain Covenant Church met quietly on September 10th at a local teahouse to discuss church matters, Chinese Communist authorities were already on to them, reports International Christian Concern. Around 3:00 p.m., police entered the teahouse, interrupted the meeting, and arrested 11 of the elders. Early Rain has a nearly 10-year history of being harassed, monitored, and pressured by the Chinese Communist Party. Most of the elders are in their 70s. He Futao, age 73, has notable health conditions. He recently underwent surgery to remove a lung infected by cancer. Police told church members and relatives that they were doing “an investigation into a cult.” At midnight the following day, an ambulance arrived. They speculated that one of the elders needed emergency medical assistance.  By 10 a.m. on Saturday, police had finally released nine people. However, Elder Wu Wuqing and Shen Xiaqing are still being held and are accused of “illegally organizing proselytizing activities.” They were fined and sentenced to 10 days of detention. The Early Rain Covenant Church members in China are boldly living out Romans 1:16 which says, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Write a polite, 4-sentence note to the Chinese Ambassador to America, Xie Feng, urging him to tell Chinese President Xi Jinping to stop harassing the Early Rain Covenant Church members. Send it to the Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington, DC 20008. Kellyanne Conway: It's not who they will vote for but whether they will vote In an interview with former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, Fox News host Martha MacCallum cited a New York Times story about how the November 3rd election is shaping up, reports RealClearPolitics.com. MACCALLUM: “Let's go to this headline from earlier today. ‘Less than seven weeks before the midterm elections, the political environment has deteriorated so badly for Republicans that the battlefield now extends deep into states and districts that Mr. Trump carried three times, often by double digits.' “When you look at where the money's going, where the president's going to spend his time, what does it tell you about the challenge here?” CONWAY: “So, there are a few challenges here. Obviously, 92% of the midterms, the party in power loses seats. A 73% loss of Senate seats. So that's a historical trend. I think if anybody can defy political gravity in some of these places and spaces, it's President Trump and his team. … “The non-college educated voters right now favor Republicans over Democrats by 16 points. Why is that relevant? That's the heart of the Trump coalition. But for them, Martha, they are feeling some economic grievance and uncertainty and pressure. “For them, the question is not for whom to vote; it's whether they're going to bother at all. And that's the big question here. “I think if the president and his money goes to turnout mechanisms, he's basically saying, ‘I'm the big turnout mechanism. I will go to 35 places in 30 states.' I think sometimes it's more important than money. … “I was waiting for the Democrats to tell the press they were expanding the map. And that tells you that they're not satisfied with the 21 truly toss-up seats going their way.” Senator Hawley urges Congress to outlaw chemical abortions Last Wednesday, Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri announced that 50,000 Americans from across the country signed a new, 4-page “Declaration for Life” within hours of its public release that calls on Americans “to stand for life” and for Congress ‘”to ban the chemical abortion drug mifepristone,” reports The Washington Stand. He added, “We think this declaration, written by pastors, is calling on spiritual leaders and everyday Christians across America to stand for life and to confront the scourge of chemical abortion. It is so critical on this the 250th anniversary of America.” Earlier this year, Senator Hawley introduced Senate Bill 4066, the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act that would outlaw chemical abortions. [On the House side of the Capitol, the same legislation was introduced as House Resolution 7902 by Republican Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee. The Senate bill has seven co-sponsors, all Republicans, while the House bill has 11 co-sponsors, also all GOPers.] Sadly, neither the Senate nor the House proposal has been advanced to committee hearings, as Republican leaders focus on other issues. Americans fail the Constitution pop quiz Last Thursday, September 17th, was Constitution Day, an annual federal observance. The day commemorates the September 17, 1787, signing of the U.S. Constitution by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. According to the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania,  which conducted a Constitution Day Civics Survey, over 35% of U.S. adults cannot name all three branches of the U.S. government, reports The Daily Citizen.  If you're listening to the newscast with your family right now, pause it and see which of your younger children can correctly identify the three branches of government.   If they said, the three branches are legislative, executive and judicial, give them a high five. The survey also found Americans' knowledge of their First Amendment rights is sorely lacking. The Amendment contains five enumerated rights, including: The right to free speech The right to freely exercise religion The right to peaceably assemble The right to freedom of the press The right to petition the government for redress of grievances. While 73% of Americans can name freedom of speech as a right guaranteed by the First Amendment, only 43% can name freedom of religion, an embarrassing 31% can identify freedom of assembly, a paltry 29% can name freedom of the press, and a pathetic 12% can name the right to petition the government. Worse yet, 24% of American adults cannot name one of them. Seattle City Council voted to protect polygamy and infidelity And finally, on September 15, the Seattle City Council, in a unanimous vote, removed the legal reality of male and female in city statute. Plus, the leaders gave legal recognition and protections to a whole host of very unhealthy sexual and gender identities, reported KUOW. Glenn Stanton, the director of Global Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family, said, “They even backtracked on the lie that sexual orientation rests on ‘just being born that way.' And Seattle's City Council had to do all this because the gender and sexual revolution keeps moving its own goal posts.” The fools who call themselves wise said this vote “updates the existing protected class of ‘sexual orientation'” by removing any “reference to the male and female gender binary.” Stanton insists that this claim of being non-binary is a “fictitious ideological construct which does not exist in nature. Every cell in the human body is sexed. That sex is either male or female.” Worse yet, Seattle now recognizes “‘pansexuality' as a sexual orientation subject to civil rights protections.” Pansexuality is also a made-up term, created to cover over the embarrassment that “bisexuality” rests on the dreaded “gender binary.”  The Focus on the Family expert asserted, “The creation of pansexuality was needed because gender theory now incoherently holds that anyone can be any of the 20, 68, 72, 81, or 87 sexualities” that exist in the minds of different leftists. Being bi- is now the flat-earther of gender theory and the Seattle City Council is just trying to keep up with the moving goal posts. In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that God who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female'?” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, September 21st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Tonight, on this fact-finding, explosive episode of Light ‘Em Up:We'll examine the weaponization of the Department of Justice under President Trump and on how this impacts you, directly.This case is but one example of Donald Trump's vindictive, petty and small nature.  A man uniquely unqualified to be the President of The United States.This case is centered on the two-count federal indictment of the former FBI Director James Comey, who was indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2026 for a social media post showing seashells on a North Carolina beach arranged to spell "86 47".Prosecutors claim the numbers implied a threat to kill President Donald Trump.The government purports that "86" means to get rid of or kill, and "47" represents Trump, the 47th president, according to the DOJ and its legal briefs.James Comey, through his legal team, maintains that he did not arrange the shells and that he encountered them while on vacation. Comey shared the display on an Instagram photo in May 2025.  Comey's attorneys filed motions in a North Carolina federal court asking the judge to dismiss the indictment with prejudice.His defense team's core arguments are that the Instagram photo of seashells spelling "86 47" is protected political speech under the First Amendment and does not constitute a "true threat".We'll examine what a “true threat” is and isn't.And we'll spend time with the 1st Amendment (reviewing the text to see what it exactly says). There is no doubt, the First Amendment is under extreme and intense attack from the Trump administration.—     We'll delve into what “selective prosecution” is — and as we investigate, we ask you, our dedicated listeners, if you think “selective prosecution” seems applicable in this specific case.—     And we'll ask if the grand jury process needs a “full-body-off restoration” for returning a true bill and indicting James Comey in this case.Do you think this is old news … or water under the bridge? I can assure you that it isn't!This is the kind of thing that can change your life in an instant.Everything you've ever thought about or hoped for a democracy can fly right out of the window when a dictator rules under a tyrannical regime and good people do nothing to stop it. When you lose rights that are supposed to be inalienable, rarely and I mean rarely are they ever restored.Under the law, a threat is a communicated intent to inflict physical harm, property damage, or other illegal injury upon another person.It causes the victim to feel a reasonable fear for their safety, separating a punishable crime from protected speech or general anger.The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech." The First Amendment is a cornerstone of American democracy. It allows us to express our views, challenge authority, and engage in public debate.In recent years, however, these freedoms have come under intense scrutiny; from debates over protests on college campuses to concerns about government retaliation against journalists and activists. Understanding what the First Amendment protects is more important than ever. Today, Americans face new challenges to free expression: increasing restrictions on the right to protest, to government censorship, and limits on free speech in schools and on campuses.Immigrants, students, and public employees have all faced threats to their rights, highlighting the need to stay informed about what the Constitution guarantees.The actions of the Trump administration have a profound chilling effect.In constitutional law the “chilling effect” describes how individuals self-censor protected speech or conduct out of fear of government prosecution, penalties, or retaliation.The criminal case against James Comey is likely to deepen concerns that the Justice Department is being weaponized in pursuit of investigations and now prosecutions of public figures the president regards as his political enemies.It was filed as the White House has taken steps to exert influence in unprecedented ways on the department, blurring the line between law and politics at an agency where independence in prosecutorial decision-making is a foundational principle. When a government uses its power to target private citizens for revenge, it damages the core rules of a free society. This behavior:—     breaks public trust,—     weakens the rule of law,and …—     shifts a nation away from democracy and toward authoritarian rule.At the end of the day, a democracy doesn't die in total darkness — it dies in broad daylight, piece by piece, when the law is twisted into a weapon for personal score-settling. The stakes couldn't be higher for James Comey and for each of us, by extension.We speak the truth, protect the vulnerable and always pursue justice.Don't move a muscle!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

Have you ever met someone who had a strong opinion about a controversial topic? For instance, someone might believe in reincarnation, a woman's right to abortion for any reason, the need for reparations for descendants of American slaves, freedom of speech, the legitimacy of socialism/communism, the need for unity among Christian denominations, illegal immigration, the right to free healthcare, medical benefits, and food assistance, perverse views about human sexuality, that evolution is the best explanation for how we got here, the right to defend your family with a deadly weapon, how to raise a family, or who is the best college football team. All of these ideas have been expressed by different people at different times, but are they right?

I joined Shaun and Gina on Third Railify alongside Pickax Director of Creator Success Trevor Shipman for nearly four hours of social media, AI, censorship, creator monetization and absolute chaos. We get into why I built Pickax, why algorithm-driven platforms are designed to keep people angry and addicted, how creators are increasingly becoming training data for the AI systems that could eventually replace them, and what Trevor is building to put creators and actual human connection back at the center of social media. Somehow we also found time for jarred farts, Bigfoot bait, questionable peanut butter branding and several conversations no respectable tech CEO should probably ever have on camera.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm clarifying something about where this show is headed and what I am, and am not, here to do.Over time, people have tried to attach my voice to all kinds of movements, causes, and political factions. I'm not a mouthpiece for anybody's movement. My focus is moving back to the two subjects that have always been at the center of my work: Christianity and America.I'm again addressing my position on Palestine and the Middle East. I still support the Palestinian people, while also believing that Palestinians have to take responsibility for supporting and building their own society. Being opposed to the actions or policies of the Israeli government does not mean that I have adopted every belief, political position, or religious identity associated with the Palestinian cause.The Middle East has experienced conflict for generations, and my audience should not expect me to become a Muslim or pretend to be a Palestinian simply because I oppose particular actions of the Israeli government. My Christian faith and my commitment to America remain central to how I understand the world.We'll also discuss updates on Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Ed Sheeran vs Macklemore drama.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Prominent law professor and former Law Reform Commissioner Augusto Zimmerman discusses the global oligarchy’s plans for world totalitarianism and the erosion of individual rights via the “Great Reset” and legal precedents set during COVID-19(84). Zimmerman argues that current international agendas, supported by groups like WEF, aim to dismantle private property and national sovereignty in favor of a top-down global dictatorship. He emphasizes the importance of natural law and the legal right to disobey grossly unjust government mandates that violate bodily autonomy or freedom of speech. Throughout the conversation, the speakers examine how digital IDs, surveillance technologies, and managed crises are used to consolidate power and suppress dissent across the globe. Dr. Zimmermann calls for a return to traditional constitutional principles and patriotic resistance. Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

The Grayzone founder Max Blumenthal returns to Bad Faith to discuss the Laura Loomer-backed attack on his freedom of speech following his return from an Iran reporting trip, liberal Democrats weaponizing the specter of anti-Black racism to fracture Black & Palestinian solidarity (e.g. Hakeem Jeffries & AIPAC monkey-gate), & the new bombshell reporting out of Haaretz that Netanyahu was warned about October 7th and chose not to tell anyone. Does the new reporting indicate that Netanyahu wanted 10/7 to happen so that he had a pretext to genocide Gaza? Or is that an overly simplistic reading? Does the reporting provide opportunities for the US left to make the case for ending aid to Israel?

Louise Adler has been one of the biggest and most controversial names in Australian publishing for decades. This is the story of how she fell in love with the world of books.⁠An asthmatic child, she spent most of Melbourne's winters in bed with nothing else to do but read novels.But it wasn't until her parents intervened in Louise's obsession with Enid Blyton's boarding school series that her deep pleasure in the world of books began in earnest.⁠Shaped by her family's story of surviving World War Two, Louise grew up in questioning everything.She was 15 years old when she went to her first Vietnam moratorium and was locked up for her role in the protests.⁠She travelled to Israel at the age of 17, which was a transformative experience for her.⁠⁠Back in Australia, Louise began her career in publishing, backing some unconventional and headline-grabbing authors from Tony Abbott and Mark Latham to Louise Milligan and Mick Gatto.⁠Louise was Director of Adelaide Writers' Week from 2023, until the dramatic collapse of the 2026 festival.⁠This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison. It was recorded live at the Byron Writers Festival.It explores writing, writers, books, Australian literature, Randa Abdel-Fattah, Israel, Palestine, Anti-Semitism commission, Judaism, WWII, Holocaust survivors, Adelaide Writers Festival, Byron Writers Festival, freedom of speech, Australian literary scene, origin story, Auspol, politics, big ideas, memoir, love, marriage, safe spaces, Grace Tame.

Karol Markowicz sits down with Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, for a wide-ranging conversation about comedy, censorship, free speech, faith, family, and the future of artificial intelligence. Dillon shares the unlikely story of how he became involved with The Babylon Bee, taking over the Christian satire site in 2018 and helping transform it into a major cultural force whose audience extends far beyond its original Christian conservative following. He also takes Karol inside one of the most consequential chapters in the Bee’s history: its suspension from Twitter after refusing to delete a controversial joke. Dillon explains why the company was willing to risk losing access to the platform rather than censor itself—and how the controversy caught the attention of Elon Musk as concerns over online speech and censorship intensified. Seth also opens up about fatherhood, the importance of speaking out even when there may be personal or professional consequences, and why serving others is one of his guiding principles. Finally, he looks ahead at how rapidly advancing AI and automation could fundamentally reshape the way people work, live and interact over the next five years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph welcomes sportswriter Dave Zirin to talk about his new book, "The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn." Then Ralph speaks to labor activist Gene Bruskin about their upcoming Labor Day event at Busboys and Poets in DC, "Galvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact."Dave Zirin is the sports editor for The Nation, a columnist for the Progressive, and the author of eight books on the politics of sports, including What's My Name, Fool?: Sports and Resistance in the United States and A People's History of Sports in the United States. His new book is The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn.There's a despondency that exists now, I believe, among people who are also very angry about the state of our politics. And the thing that Howard always insisted upon—he was an activist who happened to be a historian, not a historian who was an activist. And that doesn't denigrate his incredible skills as a historian, it just says where his priorities were in his time on this planet. And one of the things that Howard believed so strongly is that the movements themselves needed to have a strong sense of history. The movements needed to know that we live in a time of great ups and downs.Dave ZirinPeople did step up to create the Zinn Education Project. And every book event I'm doing, I'm showing up with copies of their materials and they usually have somebody on the ground doing the organizing at the event. And at the very least, we're helping it be a little bit sticky. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not just a book event. It's not just celebrating Howard. But it's also something that allows us to be able to make it matter in a way that it otherwise would not—because it's not just about selling books, it really is about building a movement.Dave ZirinGene Bruskin is a veteran of the labor movement as a local union president, an organizer, and campaign coordinator for numerous local and national unions. He has done extensive international labor solidarity work, including with Iraqi workers and unions, and is a founder of US Labor Against the War.What we're breaking through here now (and partly this has been the definition of this resistance movement) it's workers versus billionaires. And I think the labor movement in general coming out of World War II has been captured by this mythology that “What's good for General Electric is good for the nation.” And the more the economy “prospers,” the more it's good for everybody. And it turns out that that's not really the case, because we don't have that kind of equality. And also what's in the national interest in terms of our foreign policy is not in the interest of the average working class person. A lot of that stuff is being challenged and reversed—not enough, but it's forcing some of the more moderate forces to the left, just as we're seeing in some of these Senate and House elections.Gene BruskinI think this is a really important moment for Labor Day because Labor Day, among other things, is generally the kickoff for whatever elections are happening in November. And it's going to be that on steroids this year. But I think the important thing is that, of course, we want to throw out a bunch of these Neanderthal Republicans in the House and Senate. But it's not just a matter of restoring a Democratic majority in the House and Senate. The question is: to what end? And what is on the agenda of a Democratic-majority Congress at this minute? What is the vision that we have for our future that we have to be fighting for? … We have to change this whole climate so that people have some kind of hope, some kind of vision for what we want and what we deserve. And the same old, same old, whether it's a Democratic Congress or not, is not acceptable anymore.Gene BruskinGalvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact (Sep 7, 2026 2:00 pm ET): Busboys and Poets and Ralph Nader present Galvanizing Labor Day for a Workers' Compact, a discussion of how unions can maximize the impact of Labor Day to mobilize workers and voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and afterwards. (Event is in-person @ Busboys and Poets 14th & V + Livestreamed. Free and open to all, but registration is required.)News 9/4/26* Our top story this week is the neo-colonial oil extraction deal that has been struck between the Trump administration and the government of Delcy Rodríguez in Venezuela. This government has been running the country under the barrel of a gun since Trump sent Delta Force to kidnap President Nicolás Maduro from his home in the Bolivarian Republic in January. According to the BBC, the new deal “grants a US-led company 100-year concessions over 17 oilfields in Venezuela, amounting to a staggering 65 billion barrels of crude,” or over one-fifth of the country's proven oil reserves. The White House has released a fact sheet, stating that much of the new extraction will be conducted by North American Blue Energy Partners (Nabep), and that the U.S. government will have “veto power over the appointment of any member of the board of directors, and a majority of Nabep's board of directors must be US citizens.” The announcement of this deal drew scorn from a wide variety of sources. These range from Trump's former special representative on Venezuela and Iran, Elliott Abrams who called the deal “terrible” and sees it as Rodríguez “simply complying with the demands she's getting from Washington,” to Rafael Ramírez, who served as the head of the state-run energy firm, PDVSA, and as the oil minister under former President Hugo Chávez, who is quoted saying the deal “hands over [the oil] and opens the doors to a new colonialism of the United States.”* In more outrageous foreign policy news, Reuters reports the Trump administration has designated the United Kingdom-based pro-Palestine activist group Palestine Action a ”terrorist organization,” part of the administration's “campaign to crack down on left-wing groups” using post-9/11 anti-terrorism laws. The United Nations has decried this move, with the UN's human rights office chief Volker Turk calling it a “disproportionate and unnecessary ⁠restriction on the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association as well as the right ​to participate in public affairs,” adding that the “expansive use ​of the term ‘terrorism' has been documented to have a chilling effect on civic space.” The UK has sought to bring the legal hammer down on Palestine Action, though these efforts have been somewhat stymied by the courts. Sarah McLaughlin, senior scholar of global expression at free speech group Foundation for Individual Rights and Free Expression (FIRE), ​said that the US “must reject that censorship - not import it.” Reuters notes that “Israel's foreign ministry welcomed the designation.”* This is not the only case wherein the Trump administration has gone to extreme lengths to punish pro-Palestine activism. California District Judge Noel Wise highlighted this in her recent decision, excoriating the State Department and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for their attempts to deport noncitizens over protected speech. This ruling, stemming from a lawsuit filed by FIRE, “centred on how the second Trump administration revoked visas and detained international students studying in the US after they engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy.” Judge Wise stated in her decision that “in the United States, freedom of speech belongs to the people..It is not the government's to take.” She added that the strength of our democracy is “diminished when members of our society — citizens and noncitizens alike — must self-censor and ‘behave' or suffer the government's retaliation.” Mahmoud Khalil, the most prominent victim of the administration's policy of seeking to deport activists they want to silence, applauded the decision, saying “No one should fear speaking up for Palestine.” This from Al Jazeera.* Our final Palestine-related story for this week takes us to Hollywood, where prominent actor and activist Mark Ruffalo's recent comments in opposition to the Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. merger, related to Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison's ties to his father's software company Oracle, have been cynically branded as “antisemitic tropes.” According to the LA Times, Ruffalo shared a clip of Safra Catz, Oracle's former CEO and a current Paramount board member speaking at an Israeli-American Council National Summit conference, where she said that “she couldn't discuss Oracle's work with Israel's military, but ‘we have some profoundly scary technology at Oracle and we wanted to make sure that it was available' to Israel,” after October 7th. Paramount's lawyers quickly sought to smear Ruffalo with the charge of antisemitism, including by deploying their allies in pro-Israel groups like the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League. In response, over 150 Jewish filmmakers, academics, writers and even rabbis, signed an open letter which reads, in part, “Pointing out the crucial connections between what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in Hollywood is the exact opposite of antisemitism. It is, for us, the very essence of Jewish ethical duty.”* In other news, NBC reports the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Friday that “federal commodities-trading law does not preempt Nevada's gambling law as to the regulation of placing wagers on sports.” This piece notes that the 3-0 ruling marks the prediction markets industry's most significant legal setback yet and sets up a showdown at the Supreme Court, since the Third Circuit has already ruled that New Jersey cannot regulate Kalshi. The Trump administration has sought to keep regulation of betting markets under the jurisdiction of the federal body known as the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Notably, the commission, usually composed of five appointees, currently boasts only one single member: Michael S. Selig. Selig is extremely friendly to the prediction market industry and has sought to stave off state-level regulation by arguing for federal preemption.* Kalshi has been in the news for other reasons as well, namely for its attempts to self-regulate. For one, the Wall Street Journal reports that Kalshi issued its first ever lifetime ban this week, to none other than former Congressman and notorious grifter George Santos. This ban was precipitated by Santos' making over $17,000 by “placing bets on his attendance at President Trump's State of the Union address.” Kalshi adds that they issued a $71,356 fine to Santos. For his part, Santos tweeted “Hey @Kalshi thanks for the lifetime ban from your gambling platform…Let's see how much longer you guys are around for.” Newsweek reports that at the same time, Kalshi fined and suspended North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Laurie Buckhout for betting on her own race. Buckhout dismissed her bet as a “dumb mistake” and joked that her “career as a Kalshi trader was short-lived.” Buckhout is running against incumbent Congressman Don Davis in a newly-redrawn district engineered to favor Republicans, but polling shows a tight race. If Buckhout narrowly loses, many will point to this “dumb mistake” as a key reason why.* Another legal battle is unfolding in New York City, where landlords are challenging Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent freeze for rent-stabilized tenants. PIX11 reports that the suit, originally filed in Staten Island but now moved to Manhattan, centers on complaints from landlords that the decision by the rent guidelines board (RGB) to keep rents flat on one and two-year lease renewals for NYC's million rent-stabilized apartments was “predetermined and illegal.” They argue that the board “cherry-picked data and was packed with supporters of Mayor…Mamdani's campaign promise to freeze rents,” while the Mamdani administration maintains that the board is an “independent body and considers both tenant and landlord concerns.” The mayoral administration will defend the decision in court, while the Legal Aid Society and Legal Services NYC have filed a request for the court to dismiss the suit entirely. An article in POLITICO from earlier this month reports that the plaintiffs in this suit hope to bring this case all the way to the US Supreme Court.* Our final stories this week take us back to the campaign trail. First up, Alaska Public Media is out with a report about a “chain of political maneuvers in the governor's race,” kicked off by former Anchorage mayor Tom Begich's “decision to step down to give fellow Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins a better shot at winning.” Kreiss-Tomkins finished first in the August primary, followed by Begich in second place and two Republicans in third and fourth respectively. Under Alaska election law, the top four finishers advance to the general election. This piece recounts how Begich's withdrawal sent shockwaves through the Republican candidate field. With Begich out, “Republican Treg Taylor moved into the fourth spot. But on Sunday, Taylor called for [fellow Republicans Bernadette] Wilson and [Dave] Bronson to consolidate their campaigns and pledged to endorse a combined Republican ticket. In a statement, Taylor urged Republicans to unite behind a single candidate, to counter Kreiss-Tompkins.” While fascinating for political junkies, many have observed that the maneuvers on display here and in Alaska's Senate race seem to undercut many of the arguments in favor of ranked-choice voting, with more effort being put into confusing voters or seeking to induce so-called “ballot exhaustion” rather than facilitating a more enlightened civil discourse.* Our final two stories cover the Massachusetts primaries held this Tuesday. The topline, as Semafor reports, is that incumbents swept their primaries in a stark reversal of the insurgent trend in Democratic primaries this cycle. The most notable of these was the crushing victory of 80-year-old incumbent Senator Ed Markey over his 47-year-old challenger, Congressman Seth Moulton. Markey won with approximately two-thirds of the vote. This piece notes that Moulton, younger but running to Markey's right, was never able to establish the “generational change” dynamic he wanted in this race, as “progressives and LGBTQ rights groups rallied behind…[Senator Markey].” On this latter point, Moulton was roundly criticized by Democratic voters, even in his own district, for “scapegoating” transgender people in the wake of the 2024 election. Reporter Dave Weigel adds a coda to this piece: “The subtext of Markey ‘26 was that he would be a reliable progressive vote for whatever the movement wanted for six more years, and then Ayanna Pressley could come in and replace him. Pressley campaigned [with] Markey, starred in ads; [and] at rallies he gushed about how she was the ‘north star' and if you wanted to know what the right side of an issue was, it was the side she was on.”* Finally, with all of that said, the pro-incumbent wave in Massachusetts did cut both ways. Progressive challengers to moderate Democrat incumbents fell short in the state's eighth congressional district – reelecting Congressman Stephen Lynch for a 14th term over progressive voting rights advocate Patrick Roath. Meanwhile, in the first district, WAMC reports Congressman Richie Neal, a longtime scourge of progressives, fended off a primary challenge from teacher Jeromie Whalen in his bid for a 20th term in the House – though Whalen, a political newcomer, won an impressive 46% of the vote. Neal will however face the formidable independent candidate Nadia Milleron in the general election. Milleron won nearly 40% of the vote against Neal in 2024; perhaps, if she wins over enough of Whalen's primary supporters, she can pull out a victory in November.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

This is the first bonus episode of The Battle for Free Speech. Today, host Michael Fox speaks with Fara Dabhoiwala. He is a professor of History at Princeton University. And he's the author of the book, What is Free Speech? The History of a Dangerous Idea. That book was published in 2025 by Penguin Random House and Harvard University Press. His book, in many ways, challenges the status quo about our understanding of free speech.Professor Dabhoiwala has a wealth of knowledge on the subject of free speech and he appeared throughout this podcast series. But there were many questions we weren't able to fit into the series, in particular about the beginnings of what we understand as free speech in the United States, and the difference between free speech in the US and abroad. So today, we're bringing you Michael's conversation with him in its entirety.
