Is the 1st Amendment on the Ballot? Many think freedom of speech in America is in jeopardy. The mainstream media is omitting facts, college campuses are de-platforming speakers, and politicians like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton are calling for social media platforms to police their users. Proponents argue that controlling misinformation is necessary to prevent societal unrest and protect vulnerable communities. On the other hand, voices like Tulsi Gabbard and Elon Musk warn that suppressing free speech leads to the erosion of democracy itself, paving the way for authoritarianism.Joining me today is Dave Rubin, one of the original political YouTubers and the creator of The Rubin Report, with millions of views each week. As a fierce defender of free speech, Rubin is an extremely vocal opponent of growing calls for censorship, both in the U.S. and abroad. He offers real-life examples of how this trend is silencing voices and marginalizing opinions, and he passionately advocates for the protection of our fundamental rights.If you're curious about both points of view or concerned about censorship, cancel culture, or losing your voice, this conversation is a must-watch.

this was a really interesting topic for me but I couldn't listen to it until the end because of all the interruptions. Jillian, I love you but you gotta let your guests talk man!

I find it difficult to take you seriously when you can't pronounce medullary or Wegovy. It's not Wegvoy! Do your research before giving advice.
this is my first podcast that I have listened to. from Jillian Michaels. I have many others downloaded, and I am looking forward to listening to them. excellent guest. I really wish Jillian would speak a little less, stop interrupting her and let her speak.
Loved this topic and love you Jillian but you kept interrupting and they never finished talking about the canned food😂 I guess I have to buy the book!!
This was awesome...
it's not who I am ..I agree 100% I often say this I am not a sugar coater
THIS. THIS. THIS. AMEN!!!!!! This might be the best podcast episode I've ever listened to. Thank you a million times over for COMMON SENSE. I'm so disgusted with the ignorance of society. I've checked out politically and just want people to be kind to each other. Thank you.
Jillian--NOoo! The previous blue podcast picture was better!!! The newer red one looks early 2000's. Please switch back! 😝🙏

Ive just been listening to your heartbreak episode. Jillian, remember you are enough and you are a good mum and person, you have so much going on right now, and you will get to the other side and your children will be fine, do not be so hard on yourself, give yourself time, enjoy the little things. I myself split/ divorced from my husband 6 years ago and it turns your world upside down, you have to readapt and if you've been out of the dating game for a while it's hard going. hang in there. loving your podcasts, don't change anything! best wishes. Liz
He sounds like Michael Fiore
Love the pod casts!
I love this podcast so much, but I really don't like the phone call questions! Much prefer it when y'all take questions from email/Twitter, without calling the actual question asker
I really, really missed Jillian's show. She has helped inspire and motivate me so much through everything that she does. Her radio show got me through the beginning of my weight loss, through the rough patches and all the way to the end. Now that I'm working to maintain it, I couldn't be happier to have her back. If you've never heard her show before, you are missing out. Please do yourself a big favor and check it out! She is awesome!
Thanks Jillian for bringing this show back to us. So inspired from when the show was on KFI and great to see (hear) it again and with Janice!!!
