Who ever thought a conversation about the Trump administration’s record on free speech could be such fun? We did! That’s why we teamed up with our friends at FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) to put together a panel of exceptionally smart people from across the political spectrum, invited a couple hundred of our closest friends, and pressed record.

What transpired was… pretty fascinating! Press play and you’ll meet:

Nico Perrino: Executive Vice President at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) https://www.thefire.org/

Lee Rowland: Executive Director at the National Coalition Against Censorship https://ncac.org/

David Kaufman: Editor and Columnist at the New York Post https://nypost.com/author/david-kaufman/

Charles Fain Lehman: Fellow at the Manhattan Institute https://manhattan.institute/

And last but not least, your host Michael Moynihan–who guides the conversation through the Colombia protests & student deportations, the federal defunding of Harvard, and the administration’s pressure on law firms. Plus, a litany of great questions from the audience.
