Educating the Youth

Before the youth bring their questions, Sarah and David talk Clinton documentaries and how campaign financing could be a little better. The Agenda:—Can 501(c)3’s endorse a candidate?—No “false” pronouns in Florida classrooms—The pain of campaign history and the core of protected speech—Citizens United, yay!—Put your money where your speech is—Why Citizens United didn’t matter—Discontent in the American public is the American public’s fault—Why super PACs stink—Put your money where the name is—Free speech and David’s disagreement with FIRE—Mahmoud: right outcome, wrong reasoning This episode is brought to you by Burford Capital, the leading global finance firm focused on law.
