What's up guys? Welcome to relatable with me, Ali Stucky. This is a podcast by CRTV.

Sorry that this episode is a little bit late today. I've been having technical difficulties.

Hopefully I won't run into any as I am recording this one. So my apologies for that. I really

feel like I haven't talked to you guys in like 10 years, even though it's only been a week.

my husband's family, which was really fun. But now I am back with you, my friends. And I really

do feel like you guys are my friends. I hope that's okay. I really hope that you feel that way too.

that you might like me and we might be friends. I don't know. Maybe you'd still hate me. And that

would be totally fine. Thanks for listening anyway. Okay, we have a lot to cover today. Let's go

ahead and get started. We are going to discuss the issue of free speech, how it is being

dangerously threatened right now and why that matters. We are also going to talk about what free

speech actually is and what it is not. And don't worry for those of you who are wondering and who

have been asking, I will touch on Ireland's decision to legalize abortion and better yet. I will

find a way to tie it into the issue of free speech. This is going to be fun. We are going to

cover a lot of ground and you will be smarter and more knowledgeable because of it, which is always

my goal. So first things first, why are we talking about free speech today? Well, there are a few

reasons. There is a right wing guy in Britain named Tommy Robinson who is being jailed currently

basically for his political views. There's a little bit more background on that that I'll give you.

And people in Britain journalists in Britain were being told by the government not to even report

on his arrest at all. There is also the issue of the NFL in kneeling. Then there is also Roseanne

whose show was just canceled by ABC because of her tweeting something racist about Valerie Jared
