The FBI’s New “Pre-Crime” Center: Proactive Protection or Ideological Policing?

from The Cerf Report · host David Cerf

Not plots. Not violence. Viewpoints. I break down how Charlie Kirk's assassination became the justification, why the ACLU and 30+ members of Congress are raising alarms, and what Kash Patel's surge in investigations signals for free speech in America.Listen now and decide: proactive protection or thought policing?
