Tucker Carlson argues that the government's attempt to take Alex Jones off the air is a clear sign of tyranny because Jones has committed no crime other than criticizing the ruling oligarchy.

A House hearing on censorship features Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defending the First Amendment as the basis for democracy.

Democrats attempted to move a congressional hearing into executive session to prevent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from testifying, citing alleged anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments.

Kennedy eventually spoke despite repeated interruptions and attempts to censure his testimony before it began.

Media commentators on MSNBC have reportedly discussed an "Alex Jones rule" to use default judgments as a tool to remove populist voices from the airwaves.
