Liberty, Tyranny and License: Tracing the Roots of America’s Free Speech Debate

If you haven’t listened to the first part of our conversation with Ben Crenshaw, listen to that here. Jim and Ben continue today discussing how “free speech” definitions have changed in the last thirty years and what we find ourselves up against in this modern political climate. Ben shares the founders’ intentions for speech, distinguishing between injurious and non-injurious speech as well as the crucial role of virtue in sustaining a republic. This episode addresses the erosion of constitutional principles and the rise of unchecked expression, prompting listeners to consider the responsibilities of public discourse. Join us for this important issue!
