Ep. 186 Killer Mike on free speech, racial justice, and Rap on Trial

Rocking their tuxedos in preparation for the 2023 FIRE gala in
New York City, Host Nico Perrino speaks with rapper and free
speech advocate Killer Mike about his journey toward learning the
value of free expression.


They also discuss the importance of free speech in American
history, the value of engaging and arguing with those who
disagree with us, why free speech was critical to gaining racial
equality, defending rappers and artists being prosecuted for
their lyrics, and why polarization is more dangerous than
anything anybody can say.


The interview is followed by Killer Mike’s keynote speech.
