In a country founded on the principles of free speech and freedom of the press, it is no surprise that the First Amendment is one of the most important parts of the Constitution. But this right has come under attack in recent years, particularly by those in power who seek to silence dissent. From the current administration to state legislatures, a number of forces are working to undermine the freedom of the press. In addition, there has been a rise in violence against journalists, threats, and harassment.
In this episode, First Amendment Attorney Ben Barr joins Jim and Dan. Committed to protecting the First Amendment, Ben talks about the story of Project Veritas and the violation of journalists' First Amendment rights, how Ben and his team handle the Project Veritas case, and what the litigation process in the federal government looks like.

He focused on constitutional litigation, election law, undercover journalism, and defending free speech rights.

It's been a while, but it's time for another story from Jim's dad. We found a lost episode and it helps us out since life is crazy. While you may pull into the wrong address from time to time, imagine landing on the wrong aircraft carrier. Google images of what happened to these poor guys. Let's just say, they may be on the same team but that doesn't mean you can just walk into their house.
It's that time again. Line up one and all for the newest most super duperest COVID vaccines (you love your fellow citizens and grandparents don't you?). Will you comply with new mandates? Jim thinks you will. Also, the Supreme Court is about to get back at it. Join us while we talk about it.
