Free Speech To Reputational Damage: Piers Morgan, Jillian Michaels & More

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of free speech and the challenges faced by individuals who speak out against cultural norms.

This week we focus on people standing up for their right to be heard. Courageous voices - young and old, famous and not…daring to speak their mind and stand by their convictions in the face of a culture that would rather have them cancelled. Jillian Michaels calls out media hit pieces and refuses to play into click-driven outrage. Piers Morgan says the backlash to years of speech policing is already reshaping free expression in America. And when a student’s parking spot sparks a legal fight, it raises a national question: is neutrality protection or censorship? Thank you to our sponsors: Sponsored by Preserve Gold.
