Before we get going, I wanted to mention the Western conservative summit is June 8th.

Next week, Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

I'm going to be speaking on on June 8th.

And so I hope to see you there.

It is the Western conservative summit is the largest gathering of conservatives that happens

every year outside of DC, which is a big bonus because as someone who goes to DC on a regular

basis, I can tell you that if you could spend your whole life and never enter that curse

city, you will be doing something right.

So it should be a good time and hope to see you there.

Let's talk about free speech.

Free speech is one of the most overused, misused, misunderstood phrases and concepts in American

society today.

Everybody claims to be in favor of free speech.

Everyone tends to make everything into a free speech issue.

Everyone is always saying that their own free speech rights are being infringed upon.

And while we are constantly talking about free speech, I think in the vast majority of cases,

with the vast majority of controversies that we argue about, they really have nothing at

all to do with free speech.

I think 95% of the time probably, that's a conservative estimate.

When somebody says this is about free speech, it actually is not about free speech at all.

That's most of the time.

I think this is particularly relevant to discuss today.
