Just Ask the Press - Trump, Musk, and the future of the free world

In this episode, Brian Karem, Mark Zaid, and John T. Bennett discuss the latest news, including Elon Musk's controversial access to federal data, the implications of Trump's trade war, and the changing dynamics of media access within the Department of Defense. The conversation highlights concerns over national security, the potential impact of Trump's policies on his supporters, and the broader implications of these developments for democracy and governance. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the ongoing political targeting within the FBI, the implications of revealing the identities of agents involved in politically sensitive cases, and the intimidation tactics being employed against them. They also explore the lack of due process in disciplinary actions against FBI personnel, the scrubbing of health information related to DEI policies, and the broader implications of extreme political discourse in America.Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JATQPodcastFollow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/jatqpodcast.bsky.socialIntragram: https://www.instagram.com/jatqpodcastYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCET7k2_Y9P9Fz0MZRARGqVwThis Show is Available Ad-Free And Early For Patreon supporters here:https://www.patreon.com/justaskthequestionpodcastPurchase Brian's book "Free The Press"  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
