Free Speech Week was just before the election, but Andrew and Jerry engage in a belated celebration.  Joined by Patrick Maines, former President and CEO of the Media Institute, they break down the importance of rights to free speech, the erosion of those rights over time, and the challenges to free speech in 2024 and beyond.  They talk about Patrick's career, the work of the Media Institute, and those who are championing free speech currently.

After Patrick leaves, Andrew and Jerry talk a little more about the subject, and then turn to current events - talking about the nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General (as well as other prominent Trump picks), the predictable caterwauling from the left and Never Trumpers, and why it's important for people to "keep their powder dry".
