Nice network you've got there to be a shame of something where to happen to it.

You know, that's that's the phrase that we used to use to kind of be emblematic or to characterize how these government officials were acting.

They didn't actually use those words.

That would be too absurd.

But in this case, Brendan Carr literally said we can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Yeah, there you go.

It was unbelievable.

It's not saying the quiet part out loud.

It's my boss talk.

It's just amazing.

Welcome to the Mona Charrin Show.

So glad you could join us today.

I am delighted to welcome Nico Perino of the Foundation for

Individual Rights and Expression. Nico, thank you so much for joining me. I know I dragged you

away from book writing and I know what that feels like, especially when there's a deadline looming. So, especially

thankful that you were willing to come and join me today. Well, it is the end of the day. And at the

end of the day, six hours into writing, I think I'm ready to do something different. So happy to be

here. Oh, I'm so glad. Yeah. They're diminishing returns.

Sure. They sure are.

The reason I wanted to speak with you today is because I think we're facing a kind of

unprecedented assault on the First Amendment.

You're an expert on this topic, and so I would welcome your insights.
