There may be limits to free speech.

Not here.

There have always been limits to free speech, even in the US. Most often
these have been limits on the rights of people that the majority find
offensive. Our government has, for decades, been whittling away at the
guarantees the founding fathers wrote into the Constitution (it has been a
totally bipartisan effort, and much of it with the blessing of the very body
that was put into place to protect us from ourselves: the Supreme Court.

I don't think that's what he meant. He meant hate speech or speech that
you don't agree with.

You just can't use curse words. You can use racial slurs, disgusting
descriptions of people as long as you don't use curse words. You can
offer crass and baseless opinions.

We have very loose limits on what can be said such as a short list of
words, saying you want to kill someone or inciting the overthrow of the
government is about it.

The limits he described go far beyond those limitations and he gave
examples of restrictions in Canada and other nations that will not
happen here.

The main limit to free speech is the consequences. You may have the
legal right under the constitution to free speech, but you may lose
your job, lose your business, or be listed as a possible threat by
Homeland Security and denied the right to fly.- Hide quoted text -
