Immediately following Hamas' terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, student groups at Harvard University, Princeton University and beyond celebrated the slaughter of roughly 1,400 innocent people, while many faculty and administration at those institutions chose stay silent and not to condemn. In response, many wealthy donors at these institutions have pulled their funding and disassociated themselves from the universities they previously supported.
Today we get the World's Smartest Podcast Network gang of Andrew Heaton from The Political Orphanage and Andrea Jones-Rooy of Majoring in Everything back to discuss this tense time for universities in America. We examine what universities responses should look like, what the difference between free speech and hate speech is on campus, and what responsibilities donors should feel to an institution they currently disagree with.

In May 2023 Serbia had two mass shootings in the span of a month. In response, Serbia's government made it a goal to 90% of the legal and illegal guns off of the streets and into the hands of the govt.

Now five months later we check in with The Balkan Brain aka Serbian-born comedian Pedja Bajovic to see how they are doing.

This week we dig into Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby's art show "Pablo-Matic" at the Brooklyn Museum, in which she attempts to "cancel" Pablo Picasso, a man who has been dead for 50 years. The art show was universally panned by everyone from The New York Times to Fox News, and makes us all wonder, has performative cancel culture run it's course?
