Episode Synopsis

What does “free speech” really mean—and what doesn’t it mean? Today, Todd takes a hard look at Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension after ABC affiliates refused to air his show following his grotesque comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The media wants you to believe this is censorship, but Todd unpacks the truth: free speech is about protection from government interference, not immunity from accountability in the workplace or public square.We walk through the history of broadcast licenses, why the FCC plays a role in regulating limited airwaves, and how that differs from the unlimited nature of the internet. Todd explains why affiliates have the right to reject Kimmel’s program, why ABC can suspend him, and why none of this violates the First Amendment. Along the way, he contrasts real accountability with cancel culture, highlighting the difference between enforcing clear rules and simply silencing viewpoints.Todd also connects these issues to broader battles in media, culture, and the marketplace—from corporate bias to social media censorship to the importance of supporting businesses that share your values. As always, he calls out hypocrisy, exposes propaganda, and reminds listeners that conservatives must not be intimidated into silence.Don’t miss this bold, unapologetic episode on the fight for truth, liberty, and decency in America.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: [email protected]: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.
