Thanks for listening to the Von Hessler Doctrine podcast.

Remember, you can hear the show every weekday from 9 to noon right here on 95.5 WSB, Atlanta's News and Talk.

Live from the heart of Atlanta, Georgia and beyond,

hour one of the Von Hesler Doctrine begins right now.

I am your lovable, huggable, mid-morning chat host, Eric Von Hesler.

The other voices you hear are the doctrinares. Man of a thousand voices,

Tim Andrews, Lady of 184.7 characters, the always highly viscous co-host of this show, Autumn Fisher, the man behind the glass, George Clark, and the handsomest producer in all of producery, Jared Yamamoto.

Hey, it looks like hashtag leaving Twitter, hashtag buy Twitter, and hashtag RIP Twitter are still trending from yesterday.

Oh, as people just go frantic, because my understanding is that the guy who just bought Twitter wants to add more voices and wants freer speech.

Bye Twitter.

And there are a lot of people on Twitter to say, hey, if I have to come, if my ideas have to, if I have to back up my ideas with an argument,

because somebody else is arguing with me with different ideas, well, then RIP and bye-bye

and leave and all of this sort of stuff.

It really is something that people don't realize how ridiculous they look, fearing more speech.

Hashtag he must be stopped.

Yes.

I don't like it because, listen, if all these other voices are allowed to crowd me out, that's

bullying.

Well, it's not about crowding out.

It just says that you then maybe have to rejoin the debate with some evidence.

Why debate? I know I'm right.

Well, you need to explain to others why you're right, which means you first have to explain to yourself why you're right.
