    Episode 2 - Fear of Speech or Freedom of Speech?

    Unpacking the fallout of Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled from ABC and a so-called constitutional crisis. At the end of the day, we have the freedom to speak our minds but we aren’t free from the consequences - employers can fire employees for saying things they don’t agree with or damage their brand. This is how things work - the first amendment protects citizens against the government restricting or preventing us from being able to speak freely. We need to get back to the concept of the marketplace of ideas.
