Is burning an American flag protected speech under the First Amendment?

How do we feel about Chiefs player Travis Kelsey and his girlfriend getting engaged?

And is the Trump effect coming for Cracker Barrel?

We always love to hear from you. Trump signed an executive order about flag burning this week.

And while Democrats and libertarians are not too happy about it, let me tell you why it's actually

pretty great. For some people, all they really know about this EO is what they heard from Trump

in this one clip from the signing. Check it out. What the penalty is going to be, if you burn a flag,

you get one year in jail, no early exits, no nothing. You get one year in jail. If you burn a

flag, you get, and what it does is incite to riot. I hope they use that language, by the way,

did that? In sight to riot. And you burn a flag, you get one year in jail. You don't get 10 years, you don't get one month. You get one year in jail. And it goes on your record.

And you will see flag burning stopping immediately, just like when I signed the statute and monument act.

This makes it sound like anyone who destroys an American flag

anywhere will be thrown in jail. And thus the shrieking from Democrats and libertarians and the

corporate media about this being an affront to the freedom of speech and the First Amendment.

And what they keep pointing to is a 5-4 Supreme Court decision from 1989, not the Taylor Swift album.

We'll get to her in a little bit.

But a Supreme Court case called Texas v. Johnson, of which conservative justice, Antonin Scalia, was part of the majority.

And this decision held that burning an American flag is protected speech under the First Amendment.
