We got hot in this one. Walter and I opened talking about the jailing of Infowars host Owen Shroyer, in what is being described as a “Capitol Insurrection” case but is more accurately a sneaky new kind of speech offense. It’s a brilliant innovation: charged for what you do, but sentenced for what you say. Because it’s Infowars the usual suspects won’t care, but see if it doesn’t lead to a trend. Also: Amy Klobuchar and Amazon, and Consortium News versus NewsGuard.
Plus, a look at what’s sometimes called the first great American gangster story, Ernest Hemingway’s “The Killers.”
