Hello, everybody. This is Glenn Laurie, and you are listening to and or watching The Glenn Show.

I am with Greg Lukianov, who is the president and CEO of Fire, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression,

which advocates for freedom of inquiry and speech on American College campuses and elsewhere.

Welcome, Greg.

Thanks for having me, Glenn. It's good to see you.

You're welcome.

I hear you've got a new book coming out with Nadine Strausson.

You want to talk about that for a minute or two?

Absolutely.

Yeah, it's coming out on July 1st.

It's called The War on Words.

And it's an updating of a series I used to do for my blog,

The Eternally Radical Idea, for my blog, the eternally radical idea, where Nadine and I answer what I consider to be kind of

bad arguments against freedom of speech that won't die. So whether or not speech is violence,

for example, whether or not speech is a conservative cause, and then we do about 10 of them in the

course of it, just so people will have handy,

you know, good refutations of these arguments.

I call them bad arguments.

Nadine is always like, well, you know, like we should always take critics seriously,

so we don't call them bad arguments.
