In this wide-ranging conversation, J. Arthur Bloom joins The Backlash to examine the current state of free speech in America, the challenges facing independent journalism, and the rapidly evolving political landscape under Donald Trump’s second term.

From government pressure on platforms and legacy media to the rise of alternative voices, Bloom and the host dig into what real press freedom looks like today — and who’s actually fighting for it. They also explore foreign influence operations, the shifting dynamics of war and national security, and how independent outlets are navigating this new era.
