Video: "Rescue the Republic" Speech in Washington
Thanks to friends of Racket for producing a clean version of Sunday's speech in support of the First Amendment.
Thanks for reader patience while we arranged this video, which was edited/cleaned up by a friend of the site. We hope to get Walter Kirn’s “If I Had a Hammer” speech up shortly.
Thanks also to everyone who’s written in with supportive comments and emails since Sunday. Walter and I were both proud to take part. One thing: though Eminem did rap that “ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks” in 8 Mile, readers were right to point out, that’s Mobb Deep’s line from Shook Ones (Part II). The speech is done, unfortunately, but next around, the shout out goes to Queens. Thanks and more to come.
I could watch this all day. Amazing speech and a great delivery! I assume you already have Walter's speech and are just doing the editing, but if you need the actual file let me know!
Awesome Matt. Just awesome. Thank you. I shared the below paragraph with many today, as well as the entire speech. Because you really hit on something here that I had not considered before, something that highlights the extreme arrogance of these people, who they are, and more importantly who they are not.
“Let me pause to say something about America’s current intellectual class, from which the “anti-disinformation” complex comes. By the way: there are no working-class censors, poor censors, hungry censors. The dirty secret of “content moderation” everywhere is that it’s a tiny sliver of the educated rich correcting everyone else. It’s telling people what fork to use, but you can get a degree in it.”
