I say free speech.

And all these people who got outraged when Jimmy Kimmel was pulled down were silent often when Twitter was censoring The New York Post with Hunter Biden's laptop stories.

And as you may remember,

You've been very consistent.

My email leaked where I said that, no, you shouldn't be pulling down that story and you shouldn't be having The New York Post take that down.

And then I got criticized for my own side, even though I'm one of the strongest defenders of trans rights.

And we may have disagreements over my stances because I said that comedian who was arrested at Heathrow Airport for a transphobic post should not be arrested.

That you should not be arrested for that.

I got criticized from from the left.

So my point is, then when I speak out and say, OK, Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't be pulled down and we shouldn't be canceling speech or going after left wing groups.

There is at least some credibility because I'm willing to say, look, our side is engaged in that kind of censorship as well.

And it's wrong when either side has it.

And I think our side would have a lot more credibility in going after Trump, even if they didn't do it back then, if we just acknowledged that we've got this speech problem on our side.

It's easy to be for free speech when it's speech you like.

It's hard to be for free speech.

The test is not, will you stand up for it when you like it?

It's, will you stand up for it when you don't like it?

Okay, now do welfare.

Yeah, look, I don't want to relitigate Trump's action.

I do think he did certain things like January 6 others that were blatantly illegal and unconstitutional.
