In his new book The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage, Professor Jonathan Turley turns his attention to current attacks on free speech, analyzing them in the context of the historical, legal, and political traditions of free speech and the First Amendment which frame them. In so doing he discusses the interaction and role of government, academia, media, and others in creating the current climate surrounding speech which he finds troubling.

Join us as Prof. Turley and (moderator) Hon. Eileen O'Connor discuss these issues of free speech and the book itself.
