Think you've got a firm grasp on free speech and what it entails? Prepare to have your perspectives challenged as we sit down with esteemed journalist Glenn Greenwald. Together, we prod the murky depths of the hate speech debate, dismantling the often-used justification for speech restriction. Glenn illuminates the startling subjectivity of defining 'hate speech' and unpacks the power dynamics at play in the act of censoring speech. Delving into current global conflicts, we connect these abstract debates to very real circumstances.
We cast a critical eye on the hypocrisy of free speech advocates, considering the implications of recent controversies on college campuses. Highlighting the inconsistencies of prominent voices on both the left and right, Glenn offers insights that might leave you feeling 'politically homeless'. But fear not, we also spotlight those who've remained steadfast in their support for free speech, such as the organization FIRE. We traverse the battlefield of controversial opinions, censorship in media, and the danger of equating political criticism with hate speech, referencing the landmark Supreme Court case of Brandenburg v. Ohio.
Join us as we take a deep dive into the complexities of the Israel-Palestine conflict and its reflections on American censorship.

Get ready to embark on an engaging exploration of the complex issue of free speech, particularly within the context of university campuses. This thought-provoking discussion is sparked by recent developments at the University of Pennsylvania, where faculty member Claire Finkelstein has proposed that speech be restricted on campus to combat antisemitism following the resignation of President Liz Magill. We unravel the intricacies of the First Amendment, calling into question its interpretation and the ambiguity of its protections. Ultimately, we argue for universities to foster a culture of free speech and intellectual debate, rather than attempting to control discourse to suit a particular narrative.
In the second part of the discussion, we delve into the exceptions to the rule - situations where free speech and the First Amendment do not apply, and the types of speech that are unprotected. The conversation takes a turn into the real-life backlash faced by those who expressed opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement, revealing an interesting paradox, as those very individuals are now advocating for restricting speech on campus. We passionately advocate for the importance of maintaining a principled stand for free speech, regardless of personal views or emotions. So, if you hold any opinion that may be perceived as controversial, would you want your ability to express it to be restricted? Tune in and let the debate begin! -
We've got quite the treat today, friends. Brad Polumbo, the sharp-witted libertarian conservative journalist and Host of Based Politics and Damage Control podcasts, joins us for a no-holds-barred discussion on free speech. We're peeling back the layers of irony as we tackle the hypocrisy that is often found among free speech warriors. We cast a critical eye on political factions that readily discard principles and values at the altar of immediate gain. The Israel-Palestine conflict serves as a backdrop to this discourse, particularly highlighting the recent clampdown on pro-Palestinian speech. But, this isn't about taking sides—it's about fostering an open battle of ideas over censorship.
As we wade deeper into the episode, we explore the increasingly evident erosion of democratic principles, a casualty of rampant short-term thinking. The enticing lure of instant gratification often leads to crucial democratic institutions being compromised, with long-lasting implications. You'll hear us talk about the Supreme Court packing debate, and the distressing indifference of younger generations towards privacy, exemplifying this perilous tendency. Finally, Brad, with his unique insights, wraps up the episode, advocating for a more nuanced political dialogue. He invites you to join him on his podcasts for richer discussions around these pressing issues. This episode is a wake-up call to reconsider our priorities and actions.

Uncovering the war in Gaza as we are joined by national security expert, Javed Ali. With more than two decades of experience in national security and intelligence issues, he navigates us through the complex geopolitical landscape, shedding light on the US's steadfast support for Israel, the sizeable aid package in play, and the pressing need for Israel to curtail civilian casualties. We probe deeply into the stances of other key players in the fray, such as Hezbollah and Erdogan, and ponder over the question: is the US unwittingly spiraling into a larger quagmire by failing to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza?
We tread further down the rabbit hole, exploring the potential aftershocks of a multi-front war between Israel and its adversaries. Javed Ali, with his vast trove of experiences, helps us understand the current turbulence in the West Bank, the strain on Israel's resources due to a two or three-front war, and the probability of escalated US involvement. The conversation harks back to the US' role in Lebanon four decades back, speculating on the possible involvement of US special operations forces in the Gaza hostage recovery and the ensuing implications.
We shift gears towards the possible recoil in Israeli public opinion should the IDF suffer significant casualties.
