## Resource

When President Trump requested a primetime address on election integrity, several major networks declined to air it live. Should they have? Michael argues that Americans deserve to hear a president's remarks firsthand—even when they're controversial—and explains why he believes the media should air the speech, then fact-check and debate it afterward. Plus, callers weigh in on where journalism, free speech, and presidential responsibility collide. Original air date 20 July 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
