It turns out, violating a person‘s first amendment rights because you were pressured by a senator that didn’t like what they had to say is, in fact, not legal. And will cost you a lot. Right, Sen. Marsha Blackburn? Let’s remind everyone what the first amendment says, since apparently...

RFK Jr. blasts Governor Walz for not understanding the first amendment: “We’re in a very frightening time now where we are seeing the normalization of censorship. I saw this quote Governor Walz, said last year where he said that the First Amendment is not absolute, that it does not protect misinformation or disinformation, and he is legally wrong there, it does protect that. The First Amendment protects speech, true speech, and it protects lies. It protects good speech, and it protects bad speech. It protects all speech.” They didn't pass the First Amendment to protect speech that everybody likes. They passed it to protect the speech that's inconvenient, that's abhorrent, that nobody wants to hear, that's dangerous.” “Louis Brandeis said that the remedy for bad speech, the remedy for lies is not censorship, it's more speech. If we don't understand that, we will lose democracy for sure.”

RFK Jr: “Tim Walz has said that he doesn't think that the First Amendment protects misinformation or disinformation, that the government gets to decide what kind of speech is protected.” “Kamala Harris has said the same thing; that if you promote misinformation we're going to punish you, you've abused your privilege. In other words to her, the First Amendment is a privilege not a right.” “When we give government the power to be the arbiter of what speech is protected and which isn't, then that is the end of democracy.”

Elon Musk: Freedom of speech is the ability to say what you want to say without being thrown in prison or killed "One of the first things the Nazis did when they came in, is to shut down all the press and any means of conveying information. If there had been social media, I think it would have been impossible to hide, if there'd been freedom of speech as well. It's worth noting that the First Amendment in the United States was freedom of speech because the people that came to the United States from other countries did not have freedom of speech. If they had said something, they could be imprisoned or killed. And that's why the first correction to the Constitution was the ability to say what you want to say and not be thrown in prison or killed."

Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination has sparked a discussion about hate speech and the 1st amendment: Cenk Uygur: "So what? He said terrible things about MLK. Ok so Charlie doesn't like him and said bad things, so what? I can't understand why people then say 'We have to shut it down' Did you think that people were only going to say pleasant things throughout your entire life? Did you think that people were only going to say things you agree with and that you find to be comfortable? No, the whole point of the first amendment is sometimes we're going to make each other uncomfortable. It doesn't protect popular speech, it protects unpopular speech." Tara Palmeri: "Even offensive speech." Cenk Uygur: "The whole point of the 1st amendment is not to protect speech about how cute puppies and babies are. The point of the first amendment is to protect offensive speech. The people who take most offensive generally speaking in society are the powerful." There is nothing more American than offensive speech.

BASH: “So are you saying it's not okay for him to exercise his Second Amendment right – not to mention his First Amendment right to be there in the first place – but his Second Amendment right to carry a gun? And if you do, you can be shot by federal law enforcement?” BOVINO: "No, I didn't say that, Dana. I never said that. What I'm saying is we respect that Second Amendment right. But those rights don't count when you riot and assault, delay, obstruct and impede law enforcement officers."

Clarence Thomas explained the Second Amendment in one sentence. And every politician who talks about what gun rights they are willing to “let” you keep should hear it. The Second Amendment does not grant the right. It assumes the right already exists. That means the government does not give you the right to keep and bear arms. The amendment tells the government what it cannot do to a right you already had. Rights first. Government second. That is the order. And once you understand that, every gun law looks different. Because now the government is the one that has to explain itself. Not you. Then Thomas tells a story about Justice Breyer asking what he would do if a man with a machete walked up on his porch demanding money. Thomas’s answer? He would be cleaning his guns. That is why this clip hits different. He does not just rule on the Second Amendment. He understands it. He lives it. And he connects it to the history most gun control speeches leave out: The 14th Amendment. Freed slaves. The right to defend yourself from people trying to kill you. Because a citizen who cannot protect his own life does not stay a citizen for very long. Do you think most politicians understand the Second Amendment, or do they just talk around it?

Our Federal Government Is COMPLETELY Out Of Control & Accountable To No One Rep Harriet Hageman to U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas “You are the walking, talking epitome of the very tyrant that our forefathers recognized would gravitate towards government service. And it is because of people like you that they drafted the First Amendment. I thank them for their foresight. I thank them for recognizing that you and people like you would do everything in your power to control speech, to control freedom, to take away our rights. And they've written a document that isn't going to allow you to do that. Unfortunately, we still have courts and judges who recognize that you don't have the power that you are attempting to take. That you do not have the right to limit our freedom of speech, our freedom of association, our right to communicate. Thank God we have the First Amendment so that we can stop you from doing what you've been doing. With that, I yield back.”

When I was growing up, it never made sense to me that the KKK and the Nazis were allowed to have marches, spewing their hate openly despite their violent, hateful past. It was explained to me that under the 1st Amendment, their speech is protected, no matter how disagreeable or hateful it is. TODAY, Pam Bondi said that you can be targeted by the DOJ for free speech if you say mean things about Charlie Kirk or trump because that is "hate speech." Doesn’t that LITERALLY contradict the principle the right has been celebrating about Charlie Kirk? Isn’t that… unconstitutional?

.James Talarico: It should be troubling to all of us that the most powerful politicians and corporate executives are working together to sell out the First Amendment. They are selling out our freedom of speech in order to protect their own power and their own wealth. An attack on any one of our First Amendment rights is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights — whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, a progressive or a conservative, this should be concerning to all of us.

NEW: Kamala Harris says black men need to vote for her because Donald Trump will take their guns and free speech away. You can't make this up. Shannon Sharpe: Blacks for Trump. They feel that Trump is better for the black community. Can you explain that? Harris: Right. That's the question... Trump will terminate their Constitutional rights. But the First Amendment [will be gone]. The Second Amendment. I'm in favor of the Second Amendment. I don't believe we should be taking anybody's guns away.

.Andrew Doyle: “If you look at all the various definitions of hate speech across European statute books, none of them agree. No one knows what it is really.” The concept of hate speech is being used to erode free speech across Europe, argues comedian and writer Andrew Doyle, author of “Free Speech and Why It Matters.” “No one can define hate speech. No one knows what it means. And [yes] human beings hate. That's an emotion that has developed in us over many, many years. You can't wish away a human emotion with the stroke of a pen. You may as well try and legislate against envy. It doesn't make sense,” he says. “People [are] trying to eliminate free speech or draw their own exceptions or carve out exceptions. That's why the First Amendment—even though it's a great protection—is not invulnerable to attack or modification or misinterpretation. All of that can still happen.” Free speech, he says, is never something that’s won, it’s something that needs to be fought for always.

Elon Musk: We have to have free speech in order for civilization to advance. “It's a bigger deal than you'd think. It's the kind of thing that you don't know what you're missing until you don't have it. In a lot of places, people don't have it. It's important to bear in mind that the nature of free speech is, the acid test for it is, are people you don't like allowed to say things that you don't like? Otherwise it's not free. It can't be just be things that you like because eventually somebody's not going to like what you say and they're going to shut you up. That's the essence of free speech. That's why it's the First Amendment in this country. And if we lose that, I think we lose the bedrock of democracy.” From: NBC Universal Marketing Conference, April 18, 2023
