That never changed its accelerated mark. Steyn has been on to this for quite some time. He was personally involved in a free speech fight in Canada. He is a best selling author, of course, got a global perspective on what we are watching tonight and we are happy to have him. What do you think is going on here? Well, you mentioned my own experience in Canada. That is a decade ago with the help of a dogged back bencher, because the so called conservative government up. There was rather scared of this matter. So a back bencher and I managed to get the law repealed hate speech LAW repealed. I dont think we could do it today. I testified in the House of Commons in Ottawa last year. I believe it was about the bill that they are anxious to bring in today. Today the difference is the general climate of free speech in Canada, United States. U dot k Us Australia, Europe everywhere throughout the

western world, is worse than a decade ago between the malign alliance, merger in Washington, between big tech and the state. We are moving in to a literally or wellian world, where phrases out of or well 1984. He uses the phrase. Reality control, as you just said, the New York Times now is in favor of establishing a federal agency of reality. Control under so called reality. Czar. These people are so unself aware and so illiterate. They dont realize these are tired ideas. They are lifting from a 770 year old indictment of the toe totalitarian state. Is that book read anymore or allowed? How long till or well himself is banned to your question? I dont think there is any doubt about that

to go back when I got a canadian law repealed. One thing that changed since then is today. Free speech is openly mocked as some kind of the right wing fetish. On the other side, they regard ever expanding range of topics as a correct view. Once that view has been established, there is no need for the further discussion on it, so, whether its climate change or Islam, or the same same marriage or transgender participation in sports, there is a settled view, and once we have settled it, we no longer need to debate. The problem is there are ever expanding range of issues, add Todd the list to the situation added to the and in United States, where disagreeing with the official state position on example, a

new coronavirus that nobody heard of a year ago- and nobody knows anything about, but disagreeing with officialdom now is forbidden. That is why the weasel phrase disinformation. What is the information? You are dissing, its official Information Ministry of Information information. The idea that now the official version cannot be contradicted is widely accepted even by contemptible media figures like the New York Times and the Steltar guy on CNN, openly on the censorship side openly, of course doing. The bidding of the powerful, as all sensors are Mark, Steyn its great to see you tonight. Thank you. Thank you, Tucker as one of the first acts as president as the President of Science representative of Party of Science, Joe Biden, rejected officially the idea of biological sex. This isnt just a boutique issue.

It has real world implications. One of them is on women. Sports well talk to one athlete who has had enough of the competing against biological men, its hurt her. She joins us straight ahead.
