Speaking Freely, today at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET)

Today we continue in our new morning time slot, and we also, as you can see in the program notes, will spend some time discussing much that has occurred in the wake of the Islamic attack on Charlie Hebdo.

What does it mean to speak freely? What does speaking freely require of government? What is and isn’t included in the concept of free speech? Are free speech and intellectual property in conflict?

We’ll be discussing several other stories as well, so scroll down to see all the stories, etc., that we plan to discuss.

Join in live, either by phone or in the chatroom.

Muslims and Artists Must Change, Catholic League

“Catholicism teaches that freedom is the right to do what you ought to do. As such, it is always tied to duty, and to individual responsibility. Once that understanding breaks down—as it has in the West—trouble follows. Unfortunately, many artists interpret their rights as a solo exercise, disconnected from duty.”

Tonight I’ll tell you why I believe that even immigrants and advocates of open immigration should oppose Obama’s executive amnesty. Join in live, either by phone or in the chatroom, and tell me what you think!

Program Notes

Two taxi-cab thoughts I forgot to say during the show:

1. Insofar as some immigrants think they’re getting a benefit, as they’ll be eligible for some freebies, as Objectivists we know that the stolen–which is what welfare benefits are–cannot truly be a benefit to anyone.

2. The Muslims who I believe should be excluded are those who believe in waging Jihad in order to establish Shariah and/or a Caliphate. The same would apply to any people advocating violent revolution in the cause of communism, ecological totalitarianism, etc.

3. A more precise formulation of my response to Ted Cruz’s “Stop Obama’s Amnesty” graphic: It’s not clear that 316 million citizens understand separation of powers–or even that they’re interested in preserving it. But nonetheless separation of powers is an integral part of a constitutional republic established on the principle and for the purpose of protecting individual rights.

Now More Than Ever: Don’t Let It Go

The daily assault of bad news, while we’re facing two more years of Obama, is disheartening. Now, more than ever, we need to focus on and encourage the American sense of life and the ideas that reinforce it. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss.
