Go to https://ExpressVPN.com/Piers and find out how you can get 4 months of ExpressVPN free John Oliver stirred controversy this week by hosting a special on what he calls a right-wing obsession with trans athletes in women's sports. JK Rowling told him to “read the effing room” and shared a post which slammed his 45-minute special for claiming there's basically no advantage for male athletes and that men almost never beat women. On that same night, the UK Women's Pool Championship Final was contested by two people who were born as men. So who is obsessed? And who is right?

To dissect the latest news and updates in American politics, Piers Morgan speaks to host of 'The Rubin Report' Dave Rubin, former Bernie sanders 2020 National Press Secretary and host of 'Bad Faith Podcast' Briahna Joy Gray, conservative commentator Emily Austin and host of the 'Social Contract with Joe Walsh' Joe Walsh.

When we're looking for insights on how to make friends, manage our anxiety, or just live a happier life, we rarely look to the past. Instead, we tend to focus on what today's thinkers have to say. But what if the recipe for happiness lies in the past, specifically the 2000-year-old past? What if the ancient writings of Greek philosopher Epicurus hold the answers? That's what modern-day philosopher, Emily Austin, argues in her book, Living for Pleasure: An Epicurean Guide to Life. She teaches us what Epicurus really thought about pleasure and why he made it a cornerstone of his life. She also points out the advantages of an Epicurean mindset over a Stoic one. Emily's book is proof that we still have much to learn, for our work and our life, from the ancient Greek philosophers, especially Epicurus!
