Listen "David French: Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Kimmel Moment"
Episode Synopsis
Charlie Sykes welcomes David French back to the podcast to unpack the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel’s viral monologue and Donald Trump’s failed attempt to cancel him. Together they explore why government pressure on speech crosses a bright constitutional line, how cancel culture has backfired across the political spectrum, and why Americans must return to first principles of free expression. The conversation also dives into Trump’s shifting stance on Ukraine, evangelical politics, and the national security stakes of the TikTok fight. Hosted on Acast.
