And theyre still going to the Feed Stores and getting ivermectin. Can you believe that joe rogan, Eating Dewormers for cows. Yeah. Joe rogan who contracted covid and attributed his recovery to ivermectin. Did he do that . Yeah. He said he got better because he ate cattle dewormer. He said he ateivermectin, yes. So he attributed his recovery to that. But to your point, a guy like jim justice, a republican in the state of West Virginia, a guy like nick saban, these are not the elites that people who wont get the vaccine have been tauGht To distrust. So its not the media, its not dr. Fauci, its not a democrat. These are people they trust in their lives saying clearly and by The Way, Mitch Mcconnell did again yesterday, too, go get the vaccine. He said these Conspiracy Theories out there, he said are insane, go protect yourself and your family and our Community And State and lets get through this. And it does come from, you know, Tommy Tubberville in alabama. Nick saban in alabama. Got the
Why do you make variation . Well, because i mean, the constitution says congress shall make no law that a bridge is freedom speak right. The constitution, the bill of rights is directed at the government. That is, the 1st Amendment is phrased in negative terms. It doesnt say you can say anything, you want to any talk, what it says that we Cant Pass laws, it prevent you from speak while, but you know, you know, definitely that life is, you know, brighter and more inventive than the law. I mean, its definitely broader than the law counselor. We need to be curtailed with laws being fully applied. Right. And look, i think its important to make a distinction between what the constitution says and lets just say our public spirit around free speech. So im not concerned right now in the United States about i, you know, i shoot for on the part of the government to censor people. That does happen sometimes, but the biggest worry for me is that were censoring ourselves. We find a way were allowed
Either propaganda or lets say, hey speech, how would you personally go about separating all those things . Its important to make some distinctions just because i believe in the right to free speech. Doesnt mean that i agree with all speech and doesnt mean i endorse it. I endorse the really just people to say what they think. That doesnt mean i agree with what they think and often they dont. Im sorry, often i dont. So you medicine have speech. He speaks is protected in the United States were protected. Mean says that the court said that the constitutional wow speak the say he thinks i agree with that. But i also believe in raising Ones Voice against hateful speech. So i both believe that it will be, should be allowed and the people of good will should release their voices against it, which is itself a form of free speech. So the question is whether the state should be in the business of regulating and i dont believe it should be. So in this context what that 3 is referred to free. Why,
Thank you. Its good to be here. Now lets start with, im sure, purposefully ad g, the title of your book. Why should anyone and specifically, why should any american give a damn about free speech . Well, i think the reason they should give a damn it is that every great movement for social justice, every great campaign to fight oppression in history, the 9 states was powered upon and depended upon free speech. Thats really why we wrote the book to remind people about the radical uses in the radical potential of free speech. Unfortunately, in my view, free Speech And Course the United States has now been coded as a conservative value. And i find this ridiculous and a historic and the reason we wrote the book and the reason that you should get down is that if you want to make anything better in america, you need free speech. And every campaign to do that has relied on, i think, not only in this part of the world, but also many americans. I see free speech as something that is in line with
Tape, of course, everybody remembers the early years of Morning Joe when you and Mika At Times had to Duct Tape me to the chair. We did. On an occasion or two, everything worked out okay. It didnt interrupt you. While we were doing it, you were still going. Kept talking. We have the white House Reporter for the Associated Press, Jonathan Lemire and we have Catty Kay. Something happened last night, like a haleys comet. The Red Sox won a game last night. I saw it. When Tampa Bay spotted us 19 runs going into the ninth inning it was hard not to blow it but we gave it the 617 chance. Didnt we . Blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while joe and we were able to get the win. We needed all 20 wins in the ninth we gave up more and more and more. We needed 20, they scored 7 or 8, i guess we missed the extra point. Lets be clear here, joe. These are dark times for the Boston Red sox. This is bad. The surging new York Yankees today playing in iowa, the field of Dreams Field where they will und
