Today I want to present a comprehensive response to David French's article. He published this in

0:05.9

The Atlantic. It is called free speech for me, but not for the. The subtitle is the American right

0:11.0

has lost the plot on free speech. And this article has gone viral, not just in the conservative

0:16.8

sphere, but in politics in general, because there are competing interests in the conservative

0:23.1

movement right now. There are two sort of brands of conservatism that are competing to be

0:29.2

republicanism, if you will. And David French represents one of those sides. I would call it more

0:34.9

of the establishment side at this point. However, it's an interesting marriage because while I

0:42.4

call David French an establishment republican at this point, he used to be very much on the

0:47.2

evangelical tea party, religious liberty, individual rights, very fighting the cultural battles

0:54.0

type. And so I believe it is that that's the reason why when he writes an article like this and

1:00.6

essentially has changed his mind or changed his position, why it lights the fire in the conservative

1:05.8

political sphere. So I want to respond to this article, but before we get into all of that,

1:11.7

which will be fun, I promise. Before we get into that, the CDC has extended their mask mandates

1:18.4

for airplanes. It was supposed to expire in April 18th the day after Easter. And they have now extended

1:24.1

it 15 days, which is just so twisted. The irony of extending the mask mandate for 15 days. And

1:30.1

now is not going to expire until May 3rd to say that I was disappointed to hear this is a gross

1:36.7

understatement. This is the, I mean, it's so insane at this point. Really, there are people are

1:42.5

living their lives normally, except of course for the COVID maniacs. But the vast majority of the

1:48.4

population is living as normal. There are no indoor mask mandates for restaurants, for stadiums,

1:53.5

for crowded venues. And yet airplanes where they actually have an air filtration system,

1:58.2

there is, there is a mask mandate because the CDC says so. So I mean, we can sit here and we

2:04.3

can complain about that. And that's all good and well are elected officials or bureaucrats who've
