'If you can frighten people, you can control them': Journalist Alex Berenson warns about fear-based tactics after securing $150K First Amendment settlement

Journalist Alex Berenson secured a major victory for free speech, settling his lawsuit against the federal government for $150,000. The settlement stemmed from allegations that the Biden administration pressured Twitter, now called X, to suppress Berenson's speech and ultimately ban him from the platform in violation of the First Amendment.

Berenson joined "The John Curley Show" on KIRO Newsradio to discuss the settlement and what he sees as a pattern of fear-based tactics in American politics.
