![Jay Bhattacharya in front of Dr. Anthony Fauci taking an oath to tell the truth to Congress with a picture of Nick Gillespie to the left, the U.S. Supreme Court building in the background, and the words 'power grab' in orange and white | Annabelle Gordon/Sipa USA/Newscom](https://d2eehagpk5cl65.cloudfront.net/img/c800x450-w800-q60/uploads/2024/06/takedown-800x450.jpg)
Today's guest is Jay Bhattacharya, a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration and one of the plaintiffs in Murthy v. Missouri, the Supreme Court case charging that the Biden administration and other parts of the federal government illegally colluded "with social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content." A decision in that case is imminent, and a victory for Bhattacharya's side would make it impossible for the government to pressure X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and other platforms to ban or squelch legal speech. A professor of medicine at Stanford University and a Ph.D. economist, Bhattacharya talks about his experience being blacklisted online because of his criticisms of lockdowns and other COVID policies, the ways in which both Donald Trump and Joe Biden fumbled their responses to the pandemic, and what the public health establishment must do to regain the trust and confidence of the American public.
