Weak people are for censorship. I can\u2019t handle what you are throwing at me, shut up or else. Strong people don\u2019t behave that way. Only the weak,\u201d Carlson began as he prepared to introduce Gabbard. \u201cEverybody knows that. They can smell it. And the reason Joe Rogan is successful? Because he\u2019s not weak. That is the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to imagine they are going to pull Joe Rogan off the air, but you don\u2019t know once the ball starts rolling. What do you make of the attempts to censor Joe Rogan?\u201d Carlson asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is yet the latest indicator about the real danger we are facing as a society right now in this country, is that this fundamental freedom guaranteed to every one of us as Americans, this freedom of speech, is being threatened,\u201d Gabbard replied. \u201cPeople are being intimidated, their financial security is being threatened. They are being censored or being intimidated into censoring themselves. This freedom is the fabric of our Constitution, and the fact that this is what we are facing, that the powers that be decide if we don\u2019t like the things that you are saying then we will find a way to silence you and censor you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that every single American should be afraid of because we need to have the confidence in America that we can express ourselves, that we have the freedom to speak without the threat of punishment looming over us,\u201d Gabbard continued. \u201cThat right there is literally the difference between living in a democracy or living in a dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that is exactly right and for the White House press secretary to call for censorship from the podium in the White House briefing room is really \u2013 I\u2019ve never seen anything like that ever, and I\u2019m 52,\u201d Carlson agreed, noting that Press Secretary Jen Psaki had said just days earlier that Spotify should do more to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/joy-behar-is-disappointed-because-more-people-should-have-cut-spotify-over-joe-rogan\/\">rein in Rogan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is revealing, and I think that is why it was worth talking about,\u201d Carlson added, pointing out that Rogan was hardly a \u201cright-winger\u201d or someone that media could write off as a \u201cscary Q-Anon character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey simply hate him because he asked obvious questions, or am I missing something,\u201d Carlson concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are not missing something. He is somebody who is curious, he encourages dialogue. Of course he\u2019s got his own opinions about things, but he can\u2019t be put in a box and he can\u2019t be controlled,\u201d Gabbard agreed. \u201cAgain, he is one example \u2013 unfortunately, he\u2019s not the only example, there are many others who have experienced the brunt of this punishment who are either attempted to be silenced or censored or have been.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard pivoted then to President Joe Biden\u2019s imminent Supreme Court nomination \u2014 which he has promised will be a black woman \u2014 and argued that instead of focusing on race and sex, Biden should be looking for someone who would be \u201ccommitted and has a track record of upholding our Constitution. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always laugh when you say things because I am like, why do they hate Tulsi Gabbard so much? Because like Joe Rogan, your [a] threat because you defend the essential, the ancient American values that the country was based on. You do it in a very reasonable way that is nonpartisan, and that is the threat,\u201d Carlson said as the interview came to a close.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
