Nadine Strossen, former president of the American Civil Liberties Union, debates James Poulos on the issue of freedom of speech being controlled by the government. She breaks down the corruption happening inside the ACLU and how the organization has lost its way in recent years. She also argues that the government only promotes freedom of speech if it benefits its party’s beliefs and that it discourages rebuttal or disagreement from opposing sides. Poulos and Strossen question whether the Trump administration, specifically Elon Musk, will be able to change this narrative or if this issue will continue into 2025 and beyond.
