Freedom of Speech w. Armando Llorens

Hopping Mad with Will McLeod & Arliss Bunny

This weeks show was a first amendment extravaganza. Arliss had to leave on business, but she still made time to participate in the show this week. In my section, I discussed freedom of speech with Joel Dent, long time listener and new member of the Hopping Mad team. We talked about what freedom of speech is, what it isn't, and how the alt right represents a threat to it. Arliss discussed being blocked on twitter by Donald Trump, and why that's probably illegal. Yes, the president of the United States is so offended by rational discussion of how money works that he took the time to personally block Arliss on Twitter. It's amazing that he found the time to do that during the nuclear crisis with North Korea. Our guest was Armando Llorens, with whom we had a fascinating discussion about freedom of speech, trademark law, and hamlet. Arliss will be back full time next week, and we look forward to seeing you then. Carrots and the like, -Will
