Jimmy Kimmel: A Free Speech Martyr?
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.
After Jimmy Kimmel’s return to the airwaves, with a thunderous reception by his unusually large audience, he has been hailed as a noble victim of the Trump Administration’s suppression of free speech. But was this an exercise in governmental abridgment of free expression, or the abuse of constitutional rights, while preying on the anxieties of a lost generation of malleable, potentially violent young males? Was Kimmel really abused, or was he in essence yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theatre?
Kevin Price introduces Price of Business show recurring guest, John D. O’Connor. O’Connor was the famed attorney of Watergate’s “Deep Throat.
According to PostGateBook.com “O’Connor served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California from 1974-1979, representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases. Among his interesting assignments have been representation of the government during the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s; writing Fifth Amendment and “state of mind” briefs for the prosecution in United States v. Patricia Hearst; representing the FDIC, FSLC and RTC during the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s; representing California Attorney General Dan Lungren in campaign-related litigation; defending R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in significant smoking and health litigation; representing Coach Don Nelson in litigation with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban; and representing W. Mark Felt regarding the revelation of his identity as Deep Throat.”
