Flemming Rose

Discussion with Flemming Rose, Nadine Strossen, and Jacob Mchangama on political violence, free speech, and the impact of rhetoric. Topics include historical contexts like Weimar Germany, the balance between freedom of speech & security, trends in college campus attitudes towards speech, and the importance of cultivating a free speech culture.

Flemming Rose, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, joins Yaron to discuss free speech in Europe. They explore the battle for freedom of speech, the necessity of fighting for this right, the pursuit of truth, the culture of self-censorship, and the challenges faced by the European Union. They also discuss the slippery slope of free speech in Europe, the culture of free speech in different parts of Europe, the implications of victory for Ukraine, media freedom and language law in Ukraine, the significance of the second commandment, the decline of free speech globally, and the danger of a monopoly over truth.
