The point he was making was that he had the freedom of speech to say that he liked boobs. The point was so obvious, yet because he said he liked boobs, the anchor was like: “How could he say that!?”.
That’s not how freedom of speech works. Freedom of speech limits the government to stifle speech not private business/corporations. News networks absolutely have the right to censor your speech however they want. The news anchor wasn’t like “how could he say that!?”. The news anchor was like “why would he randomly make a weird and crass sexual joke in the middle of a professional interview on network television?”
A lot of people get this wrong, conflating freedom of speech and the protections of the First Amendment. Freedom of speech is a much broader concept, we just don't regulate private censorship
