Rand Paul

Well, I'd probably start with the previous administration. I mean, what the Biden administration did is they sent the FBI and Homeland Security to meet with Twitter, Facebook, Google, and told them to take down constitutionally protected speech.

So I actually have a bill that I've introduced to protect free speech, and it says to government, doesn't tell Twitter anything, doesn't tell Facebook anything, because I think privately owned tech companies really have nothing to do with the First Amendment. The First Amendment has to do with government. But I don't think government should be allowed...

Can you imagine what you would think if after this interview, before you aired it, the government came to you and you had a meeting with the FBI after the interview to see what they thought was misinformation and disinformation? I mean, how repulsive that would be to you. It's the same, though, if they do it to Twitter or Facebook, and they did for years.

And so that's been probably the biggest affront to the First Amendment since... the beginning of the country. Now, this administration is also putting forward things that I think abridge the First Amendment. One is going after speech on college campuses. So they attempted to pass a bill that I've had trouble with for a long time, an anti-Semitism bill.

Well, I think anti-Semitism should be as a thought or a theory or speech should be condemned universally by people in polite society. But the First Amendment, the most formative case on the First Amendment is Brandenburg v. Ohio. And Brandenburg was an admittedly despicable person, a Nazi Ku Klux Klan guy who said terrible things about African Americans and Jews.

But the great irony is that the ACLU defended his right to say these, and the two lawyers that won the case, one was Jewish and the other was Eleanor Norton Holmes, who's a longtime African-American representative from D.C., and they defended language that was not only despicable but repulsive and offensive to them personally, but they thought that speech was so important that it needed to be defended.

With the new bill, they're saying that if you make stereotypical comments about Jews, it would be regulated and possibly banned on campus. But this is exactly why some Jewish comedians don't go to college campuses. Jerry Seinfeld famously said he won't go there. So during the hearing recently on this, I introduced a list of 479 Jewish American comedians
