Hammer also warns that media disinformation and selective enforcement have fueled public confusion and normalized intimidation tactics.Together, the duo explores what this trend means for free speech, institutional integrity, and the future of the American republic, and whether the country is finally beginning to push back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
