1:16:30Now PlayingBen opens with the Charlotte light-rail killing of Irina Zyrutska, why legacy outlets tried to look away, and what that says about free speech. Ben asks where we’d be without X’s openness and a political climate less tolerant of censorship.
Winston Marshall, former Mumford and Sons Bandmember, then joins to unpack Britain’s speech crackdown. They also tackle immigration tensions and the long, ugly history of grooming gangs that elites don’t want discussed, plus whether AI can ever replace the soul in music.
Finally, Rob Bluey of The Daily Signal, breaks down how the press room now includes voices from legacy outlets long kept out. He and Ben dig into a family-first policy focus from the right (marriage, birthrates, fixing perverse incentives). They also take stock of Trump’s second term so far: a harder border stance cheered by conservatives, with economic risks still looming.
Ben closes with a sports-media rant: ESPN’s RedZone “short ads” morph into 45-second overlays that block live cut-ins. Ben argues it undercuts the entire product and he foreshadows a pricey ad-free upsell.
