The Global Story podcast episode analyzes the American right's focus on free speech issues in the United Kingdom, juxtaposing it with the Trump administration's actions on free speech within the U.S. The discussion covers instances of alleged crackdowns on speech in the UK, such as the arrests of individuals for social media posts, and compares the UK's legal standards for inciting violence to the U.S.'s First Amendment protections.
