Kamala did a softcore porn podcast because that's her base. They talked about abortion of course because that's all her base cares about. I compare that worldview with what I saw in CA this weekend visiting pro-life pregnancy centers. It's a world of difference. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Patriot Act was designed with the intent to go after foreign terrorists. Since its inception, it has been manipulated to target Americans at home, including concerned parents at school board meetings. America's Justice Department has also been found guilty of going after peaceful pro-life protestors, including an 89-year-old survivor of a communist camp in Europe. What you're seeing is a new war on terror inside of America. In this special, Mike Slater speaks to people who have experienced the weight of the justice department first-hand. This includes Douglass Mackey, who was sentenced to prison over a Hillary Clinton meme. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The first amendment comes first for a reason. America's founders understood the value of free speech, which is now under attack both in the United States and abroad. In the past decade, Democrats have wished for the government and private companies to silence political dissent. Elon Musk buying X was a blow to the censorship complex, but the fight remains. Want to get an idea of what can happen without free speech? Look no further than the United Kingdom, where Tommy Robinson has learned first-hand what it's like to be silenced. Robinson is Mike Slater's guest on this exclusive special, as is Jeffrey A. Tucker of the Brownstone Institute. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A famous line from Ben Shapiro is "Facts don't care about your feelings." I disagree. I wish it were that easy to convince people of the truth. If only we could just share the facts and voila, we win. The reality is; feelings matter. And this is fine. We can use emotion to help people see the truth just as much as they can use feelings to convince people of lies. We just can't get frustrated. Learn more about your ad choices.
