Tonight, on the Ezra Levant Show, a longform interview with Gavin McInnes, founder of Vice and now Censored TV.

Passion for Freedom is an organization that inspires the world through art. Each year, they organize an annual festival exhibiting censored artists.

"They shut it down early," chuckled McInnes. "I'm bitterly disappointed," said Levant.
"They nominate people from a wide variety of backgrounds, including world-renowned comedians John Cleese and Ricky Gervais," added the Rebel Commander.
