Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.
America has been the wealthiest, healthiest, most free, militarily strongest, fairest and most morally admirable country in world history. All this has been achieved by encouragement of free speech, debate and commonsense reform divorced from ideological constraints.
Now however, a small but influential sector is pushing coercive ideological narratives through a partisan media. But what is troubling is that this media now acts as thought police, shaming and cancelling anyone with thoughts worthy of debate. Climate denier! Election denier! Border xenophobe!
As a result our most pressing problems are going unaddressed, controlled by unwise or false media narratives which also serve to suppress discussion and dissent. This is not good for a democracy which should thrive, but is not, on debate and discussion.
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.”
