The Tom Woods Show, episode 1134.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Folks, Bob Murphy and I are doing it again. Contra Cruz, 2018. You know you want to join us.

You've seen how much fun it is. Everybody who's

joined us absolutely raves about it. It is the vacation of a lifetime. Check it out at

contracruise.com. Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here. I think most people who listen to this program

have a pretty good sense of why it's a good

idea for there to be free speech and free exchanges of ideas on college campuses, but not

everyone sees the world quite that way. And a new book makes the argument very compellingly

in a way that should appeal, I think, to most people who are

reasonable. And I'm not trying to be a jerk about that, that anybody who disagrees with us is

unreasonable. I don't know. Maybe I am. I don't know. Because the arguments I think in this book

are very persuasive. And so I thought I would invite the author to discuss them with us.

The book is Speak Freely, Why Universities Must Defend Free Speech, and the author is Keith Whittington,

who is the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Politics at Princeton University.

He is the author of many books on American Constitutional Law, Theory, and Politics, Federalism, Judicial Politics, and the Presidency.

He's been a John M. Olin Foundation faculty fellow and an American Council of Learned Society's junior faculty fellow and a visiting scholar at the Social Philosophy and Policy Center, among many other credentials.

Keith, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

All right.

I have a bunch of devil's advocate arguments I want to use against you.
