It's really the American people in the streets saying we've had enough.

Of course, I think that's exactly what they're doing.

I mean, I think this is very evident that they are trying to intimidate, um, the press and not only I think the new media, which I do think that they certainly Donald Trump, who is a good study of the media understands the power.

That's why he did all those podcasts with the manosphere in 2024, but they want to silence everyone.

Right.

They're filing lawsuits against The Wall Street Journal.

They're they're going after The New York Times.

They're they're threatening everyone.

And that's certainly to chill speech.

And it's so ironic because Donald Trump and his administration came in as supposedly being pro free speech.

Remember Donald Trump in the Oval Office, I think on inauguration day, signed some random free speech thing.

I am the free speech president.

And really, in practice,

He is doing everything he can to silence his critics.

He doesn't believe in free speech for anyone who doesn't agree with him.

And I think that certainly having the FBI arrest Don Lemon

and charge him after two courts rejected them doing this.

I think there's no question this is meant to send a chill down the spine of every journalist covering this administration, particularly those in new media who don't have the resources of a billion-dollar company behind them.

I mean, I'm not scared of them, but I do think they can cause and inflict pain on people they want to.

And even if you have no legal case, which I think every time he files one of these lawsuits, we always ask legal experts like, what do you make of it?
