About this episode
The Trump administration has responded to the assassination of Charlie Kirk by threatening a sweeping crackdown on political opponents under the guise of targeting "hate speech." Trump advisor Stephen Miller and Attorney General Pam Bondi both signaled that the federal government would aggressively pursue groups accused of doxing, protests, or hate speech, sparking fears of a First Amendment crisis. Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence show argue that Miller's rhetoric represents a fascist-style campaign to suppress dissent, while Bondi's blunt comments drew backlash even from many of her fellow conservatives. The segment highlights free speech concerns raised by figures like Tucker Carlson and Ro Khanna, warning that chaos and censorship ultimately strengthen authoritarian power rather than protect democracy. Plus segments on the FBI's highly dubious "evidence" against alleged Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson and the myriad right-wing commentators offering support for the idea that Kirk was turning against Israel.
