Kiss Your First Amendment Rights Goodbye + A Look Back At My Conversation With Charlie Sykes

from Mea Culpa · host Podcast WABCRadio

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m revisiting a September conversation with Charlie Sykes, political commentator, author of “How the Right Lost Its Mind,” and MSNBC contributor. While the specific Trump controversies have changed, the nature of his leadership and the damage he causes have not. Then, the First Amendment alarms centered around Jimmy Kimmel; now, it’s Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. We also discussed Trump’s UN speech, a speech Trump once again mentioned at yesterday’s “Board of Peace” event. And the most consistent through line remains the same: the continued lack of transparency around the Epstein files. The names and moments may shift, but the patterns we identify and discuss remain just as relevant today.
