In recent years certain high profile avatars of the right have begun self-identifying as “free speech warriors,” opposing efforts to deny campus speaking opportunities to other right-wingers, calling out social media platforms for banning controversial accounts and raling against so-called “cancel culture.” But in light of the recent Hamas attacks, Gaza bombardment and subsequent protests in favor of Palestinian rights, previous free speech absolutists like Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin and Laura Loomer are calling for the cancelling of individuals whose speech they disagree with. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss, yet again, how supporting free speech means supporting the rights of people whose speech you abhor. Plus segments on why the Israeli military is upset about hostages being released and Jon Stewart abandoning his Apple TV show over alleged disagreements over content with Apple executives. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Vince Vaughn!
