In this episode of Crayon Box Politics Weekly, Carl and Avery delve into the current state of free speech in the U.S., discussing its importance as a core right enshrined in the Constitution. Recorded on April 14, 2025, the podcast critiques the policies of the Trump administration concerning free speech, specifically focusing on new legislation like HR 2634 (Free Speech on Campus Act), HR 2501 (Free Speech Fairness Act), and controversial state bills. The discussion expands to the potential dangers of these bills under an administration accused of authoritarian tendencies, and the episode also highlights executive orders signed by Trump that could impact the interpretation and application of free speech. Both hosts emphasize the need for awareness and active engagement to safeguard democratic rights.
