President Donald Trump says he'll decide whether or not to attack Iran within the next two weeks. On this week's On the Media, hear why the right is split on what the president should do. Plus, scrutiny on student journalists has intensified.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone on the recent narratives forming around the ‘No Kings' protest and President Trump's military parade. Plus, a look at the lie that the left is more politically violent than the right – a falsehood that has emerged in rightwing narratives about ICE being victimized.[14:03] Brooke speaks with Andrew Prokop, senior politics correspondent at Vox, about the bitter divide growing within the MAGA ranks – between the “America First” faction, who advocate against war with Iran and helping Ukraine, and GOP hawks who want Trump to attack. [30:44] Host Micah Loewinger sits down with Gregorio Olivares Gutierrez, a rising junior at the University of Texas Dallas and editor-in-chief of The Retrograde, to discuss his brief tenure as editor-in-chief of his school's official paper, The Mercury. They examine how The Mercury's coverage of a pro-Palestine encampment last spring ignited a chain of events that led to the university firing him and the entire staff, and the de facto shuttering of the paper. Mike Hiestand, Senior Legal Counsel at the Student Press Law Center, on the chilling effect experienced by student journalists across the country after ICE arrested Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk.Statement from Barnard College: "Barnard respects and supports a robust student press. As students present in Butler Library during the disruption have been confirmed to be working as journalists, we have notified them that their interim suspensions have been lifted. As our review continues, we will issue additional notifications as appropriate." Statement from Columbia University: “The interim suspension on the Columbia student journalist was lifted within hours after it was issued once it was determined that the individual was a member of the student press who was covering the protest as a reporter, not a participant in the disruptions to academic activities that were in violation of University policies and Rules. Columbia University continues to strongly believe in the value of a vibrant and independent student press."Statement from University of Texas Dallas: “UT Dallas has always supported student journalists' editorial control and wants to create an environment where they can learn best journalistic practices and follow professional standards and guidelines. For clarification, the former editor was not removed for editorial content, but because he violated student media bylaws. Over the past few months, a group of university faculty, students, and staff has worked together to establish a new advisory committee for student media. Its goals included reviving the campus newspaper and ensuring the staff has necessary resources to operate with the editorial independence critical for student journalists.”UT Dallas Student Media Memo: “Removal of The Mercury Editor-in-Chief” by Lydia LumGregorio Olivares Gutierrez's Appeal to the UT Dallas Student Media Memo regarding his removal Further reading:“Parsing ICE's mixed-up, hard-to-believe assault claims,” by Philip Bump“‘They're Taking Shirly': An Army Sergeant Thought His Family Was Safe.

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Columbia University's improved handling of anti-Israel demonstrators, Bernie Sanders' laughable defense of private jet travel, and Joe Biden's worn-out excuses for why Kamala Harris lost to President Trump in 2024.First, they blast the chaos at Columbia's Butler Library, where pro-Hamas protesters disrupted students preparing for finals. But Jim and Greg give credit to the NYPD for requiring students to identify themselves before exiting and to the acting university president for offering one of the strongest administrative condemnations yet of these campus takeovers.Next, they shake their heads in amazement as Sen. Bernie Sanders says he needs to travel on private planes for his "Fighting Oligarchy Tour." Sanders says it's absurd to expect him to stand in line at airports like everyone else. Jim and Greg compare Sanders' hypocrisy to globe-trotting climate activists who, also use private jets, and insist they're above the rules they champion.Finally, they're glad to see Joe Biden is still alive based on his appearance today on The View. But Biden's pathetic suggestions that racism and sexism are responsible for Kamala Harris losing in 2024 are really getting old. They also point out that Harris likely tanked her own campaign because of an appearance on The View in October. And Jim cites recent revelations about Biden's inner circle reportedly trashing her to donors behind the scenes while trying to salvage his campaign.Please visit our great sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

The start of our third season and the twenty-fifth episode of the Creative Flow: Thinkers and Change Agents Podcast Series features Gerard J. Puccio, Ph.D., the Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Creativity and Change Leadership Department at SUNY- Buffalo State. Dr. Puccio explores the trajectory of the field of Creativity from a pioneering graduate program founded in 1967 to a growing program of distinction known worldwide. The degree program is a transformational educational experience that helps students actualize as human beings, build creative confidence and develop leadership skills. Two exciting upcoming projects discussed are the new Innovation Suite planned for the Butler Library at Buffalo State College and launching a doctoral degree in Creativity and Change leadership. Dr. Puccio's journey to Creativity started at Jamestown Community College when he took a course in Creativity recommended by his academic advisor, Dr. Dean Patton. Today he is one of the preeminent leaders in the field, having written more than 60 articles, chapters, and books. As an accomplished speaker and consultant, he has delivered creativity workshops and presentations across the US and in more than 20 different countries. The Burchfield Penney Art Gallery is an example of a success story where Dr. Puccio led brainstorming concept development sessions for a large group of stakeholders. Concepts directly taken from these sessions are a living representation of using CPS to “engage a community to create something world-class.” The NY Times named it one of the top buildings to visit in the year it was built. Don't miss this inspiring discussion on the future of Creativity as we discuss the impact of neuroscience in providing insights into why creativity methods work and opportunities for improving physical and mental health with Creative Problem Solving.
