Is freedom of speech under attack in America? | Planet America

Trump’s push to go after his opponents leaves Republicans divided. Is free speech under attack? We ask Trump’s former White House lawyer Ty Cobb. Also, how FCC chair Brendan Carr took down Jimmy Kimmel, and Trump’s war with Antifa.
Editor's Note: In the original version of this episode there was a discussion about the US Vice President calling for people to be sacked for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
Examples were used during this discussion of people claiming to have been fired. It has since been found examples that were used were not accurate. The episode has been edited to take out incorrect clips.
