Summary

Elon Musk made headlines this week when it was announced he struck a deal with Twitter to buy the company for roughly $44 billion. While many are celebrating the acquisition as a win for free speech, others are concerned that Musk's ownership of the platform could lead to an increase of hate speech and misinformation in a realm that's difficult to regulate. Howard Kurtz, host of Media Buzz on the FOX News Channel and the Media Buzz Meter podcast, joins the Rundown to discuss what Musk's purchase of Twitter could mean for the future of the platform, Musk's reputation regarding free speech, and how the Left wants Big Tech to be held accountable. The Supreme Court heard arguments on Monday in the Kennedy v. Bremerton School District case, debating free speech and religious liberties after a high school football coach was rebuked for praying midfield after each game. In their oral arguments, conservative and liberal justices on the court were split on how this instance related to the First Amendment, religious expression and separation of church and state. Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos joins the podcast to break down why she believes this coach will find justice in the Supreme Court, why his firing constitutes a violation of a constitutional right to individual expression of religion, and she weighs in on what she calls the “deceptive characterization” of the Florida Parental Rights law. Plus, commentary from co-Host of Fox & Friends Weekend and Host of ‘The Will Cain Podcast’ Will Cain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
