Colorado is trying to silence free speech again.

A state law forces businesses to use customers' preferred pronouns even if they're biologically inaccurate.

With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian bookstore, and a sports apparel company are challenging the law, but a court recently ruled against them.

They appealed the ruling, and with ADF's help, they'll keep fighting another attempt by Colorado to skirt the First Amendment.

Yeah, I have concerns.

Hey, John.

Yeah, John, as you know, the Trump administration has been planning a series of large-scale events leading up to the 250th anniversary on July 4th.

Well, one of the centerpiece attractions was supposed to be something called the Great American State Fair, so a multi-week event on the National Mall that would feature exhibits from all 50 states, nightly entertainment, and it would culminate in a concert titled Freedom 250.

But days after announcing the lineup, media criticism started to swirl, and several of the artists, including Martina McBride, Poison, Frontman, Bret Michaels, and members of the Commodores, dropped out.

And some of these artists released statements saying they didn't want to be viewed as endorsing a political cause or candidate.

But one of the artists who is staying in says it's going to be a night to remember.

Yeah, so Trump fired back on Truth Social and he suggested that he might cancel the concert series entirely.

And instead, he has floated the idea of replacing it with a massive America is back rally on the mall.

And he's busy promoting an upcoming UFC fight in front of the White House in honor of America's 250.

I think this culture warring against Trump is really starting to weary a lot of Americans.

Half the country did vote for him.

He won fairly.

And I think a lot of the public are tired of being told that their president may not be honored in the same way that other presidents have been.

In fact, even the country can't be honored with a straightforward patriotic concert because Trump is the president during our 250th anniversary.
