Jimmy Kimmel "Cancellation"(?) and Free Speech Implications: with Ethan Strauss

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation and its relation to free speech and cancel culture.

Jimmy Kimmel's late night show is taken off the air after he makes blatantly false claims about the killer of Charlie Kirk. Is this just a typical instance of "Cancel Culture"? The right wing using the left's tactics against them? Or Kimmel's employers finally having enough of his problematic behavior and declining ratings? What was the government's role here? My guest Ethan Strauss has some inside sources on the government's role and a unique perspective on what this means for "free speech ". Learn more about your ad choices.
