This is longtime Cato Daily podcast host, Caleb Brown. I've hosted the Cater Daily podcast for nearly

18 years, but no more. But I wanted to leave loyal listeners with some favorite episodes that I hope

ring true and relevant to our current moment. This is one of them. Thank you for listening.

This is the Cato Daily podcast for Thursday, May 26, 2016.

I'm Caleb Brown.

At the Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty Dinner held last night,

former head of the ACLU Nadine Strausson,

presented the awards to Danish newspaper editor Fleming Rose.

This is a portion of her remarks on freedom of speech in the face of threats.

I am honored to present the Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty to someone who has been my hero

ever since he burst upon the worldwide scene in 2005, with a bold challenge to

the growing self-censorship in Denmark and Europe, and who has also continued to challenge

the increasing self-censorship everywhere, including right here in the U.S. Too many politicians,

journalists, and others refrain from candidly criticizing even the most discriminatory,

repressive, and violent actions that too many Muslims carry out in the name of Islam, fearing charges of Islamophobia.

In contrast, Fleming Rose continues to speak out, not only despite such false charges, but even

more bravely, despite being subject to credible death threats.

The same threats that have already been carried out through brutal murders of others,

who also have refused to stop analyzing, questioning, criticizing, and satirizing.

Fleming Rose embodies the courage that is the cornerstone of our liberties,

as eloquently described by another of my First Amendment hero's Supreme Court Justice,

Louis Brandeis.
