Podcasts about free speech

Buckle up, folks, because we're diving headfirst into a political circus so absurd it could double as a reality TV plot twist! Imagine a world where politicians spin tales so wild they'd make Pinocchio blush, only to have their own wallets—and voters—call their bluff. That's the rollercoaster ride we're on today as Democrats, long champions of open borders and free handouts, are suddenly forced to foot the bill for the very illegals they swore wouldn't cost a dime. The hypocrisy? It's as thick as a California fog and twice as insulting. Let's peel back the curtain on this comedy of errors, where Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker are learning the hard way that fairy tales don't pay the bills.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We face the unknown every day. Do you know that the word we use for fear of foreigners is actually the word for fear of the unknown? Xenophobia.Panic in response to uncertainty. Some people say that the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all. What do you think?I've heard it said that "We do not fear the unknown. We fear what we think we know about the unknown." – Teal Swan. I believe that much of the time, the thought of fear itself is greater than what it is we fear."Fear and anxiety many times indicate that we are moving in a positive direction, out of the safe confines of our comfort zone.". The pessimistic but perhaps reality is that, "People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar." – Joseph Emet.

Why do we call it news? We get updates, but we don't get a lot of news. It's really OLDS repackaged to look like news.That is the question we should ask ourselves is about the cyclic nature of things.I can tell you what the news cycle will be today, in a year, and in a decade. It won't change. Why? Because Leftists won't change.Imagine waking up a day, and people simply get along. We accept each other for our differences, by understanding how much we are all the same?Imagine no black activism, and the #HAGS stop complaining about being women? Hell, imagine that Leftists actually define “woman” as what it is.Imagine a country working together to actually SOLVE problems for its citizens first, then helping the world, and only for the greater good. No wars, proxy wars, or political malfeasance Leftists love. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

America is fighting is most brutal battle to date. And it has changed the course of the war. The 2nd civil war is being fought inside this country.Hard to believe it's happening, but Leftists are sick people.Their decision-making leaves one baffled. Everything they claim to love has been devastated by their policies, but they won't let up. They are determined to prove that their ideas will never work by continually trying them.Leftism enables what happens. Hamas attacks Israel. Leftists in America celebrated.Leftists want to punch us in the mouth. We are winning all their constituencies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ryan Heath, founder of The Gavel Project, joins BS Free MD for a powerful conversation on the intersection of law, medicine, and free speech. Heath shares updates on his high-profile lawsuit against the Arizona Association of Realtors—a case involving a realtor punished for posting political and faith-based memes. But this isn't just a real estate story. It's about how private organizations that control economic access—like medical boards and hospitals—can be held accountable for silencing professionals.Heath unpacks how this legal precedent could open the door for physicians disciplined over COVID opinions, vaccine hesitancy, or gender medicine dissent to fight back. From moral turpitude clauses to the dangers of woke medical groupthink, this episode explores how the erosion of free speech threatens the very foundation of good medical care.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

In this episode, Stanford Law Professor Evelyn Douek, a First Amendment scholar and permanent U.S. resident, expands on her recent Atlantic essay, “Can I Teach the First Amendment If I Only Have a Green Card?” She reflects on the paradox of teaching constitutional protections for free speech while watching the U.S. government detain or revoke visas for foreign students and other non-citizen residents engaged in protest or student journalism. Douek joins fellow Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan to explore what these developments could mean for the future of American universities, long known for drawing global talent. Their conversation highlights the growing tension between the nation's commitment to free expression and policies that penalize dissent by non-citizens.Links:Evelyn Douek  >>> Stanford Law page“Can I Teach the First Amendment If I Only Have a Green Card?” >>> The Atlantic pageModerated Content podcast >>>  Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00:00) Introduction and Exercising First Amendment Rights(00:01:53) Writing the Essay(00:02:27) Teaching the First Amendment(00:15:25) Freedom of Speech and Religion(00:16:11) Challenges of Teaching the First Amendment

The assault on conservatism, ergo common-sense continues from the Left. And we get daily proof. I will tell you that you'd better have a way of distilling truth from lies using your brain, because AI is becoming intense. If Leftists were to control AI, our reality would be so warped we could never recover.

The new Trump presidency has led to pressure on the First Amendment, and the lines between free expression and political enforcement are blurring. Those who say speech is now freer argue that his actions are restoring viewpoint diversity. Those who argue it's more restricted argue it's a crackdown on speech that doesn't align with the administration's views, especially in Harvard's case. In partnership with the Cascades PBS Ideas Festival, we debate free speech's evolution in the Trump 2.0 era. Nadine Strossen, Senior Fellow at FIRE; Former President of the ACLU  Brandi Kruse, Host of "unDivided with Brandi Kruse”  Nick Gillespie, Editor-at-Large at Reason, is the guest moderator.    Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Then there's the harassment at the parade itself. As attendees left, “No Kings” protesters heckled them, because nothing says “defend democracy” like bullying families celebrating the military. These folks weren't protesting policy; they were flexing for clout, hoping their chants of “No thrones, no crowns” would land them on MSNBC. The parade, by the way, cost $25-$45 million, and 60% of Americans polled said it was a waste. Fair point, but the Left's response—disrupting a celebration of service members—isn't principled; it's just loud. And let's talk about the Los Angeles riots, because this is where the Left's destructiveness goes from annoying to dangerous. Far-left militants, enraged over Trump's immigration policies, turned LA into a war zone with arson, looting, and freeway takeovers. Posts on X called it an “insurrection” against deportations, and they're not wrong. This wasn't a protest; it was organized chaos, funded by well-heeled activists who'd rather burn cities than debate policy.

Good evening, folks, and welcome to another dive into the circus of modern politics, where the Left's relentless chase for power, prestige, and cold hard cash has turned them into a laughingstock of self-owning buffoons. It's not just that their ideas are bad—oh no, they're catastrophic. It's that their execution is a masterclass in idiocy, a parade of performative nonsense that'd make a reality TV producer blush. Leftism isn't just an ideology; it's a black hole of destruction, sucking in common sense and spitting out chaos. Let's unpack a few gems from the news cycle to prove it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How does American society uphold the First Amendment while restricting books and censoring diverse ideas? Sharon talks with Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, about the surge in book bans, now over 4,000 nationwide. Suzanne explains how vague language about “protecting children” is used to remove books that reflect marginalized voices, often labeling them as “indecent” without justification. The result is classic literature and health-related content being removed from the shelves.

[EP 25-240] How does this reflect on him? I will be honest…not good. If Israel can disregard you, then how does that play out on the world stage.I find it hard to believe that Israel did this unilaterally.I believe they had to have read President Trump in on this. That's not what the administration is saying, and I will get to that in a minute. Somehow, the Trump administration will need to clean this up.

[EP 25-239] What a weekend! Israel bombed Iran, the No Kings protests, Democrats racking up the “kills” with the assassination of Democrat lawmakers in Minnesota. More on that in a bit.Did you watch any video of the protests last weekend?PAID protesters, still funded by legacy NGO money. And thankfully there are real journalists exposing the game. What I noticed most about the protests is how the police are taking NO CRAP from protestors. I watched police manhandle unruly protestors.Interestingly, a few No Kings protests were canceled in areas of the country due to…LOW TURNOUT.In DC and Atlanta, protestors were made to remove masks or leave. I saw one woman get arrested for refusing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Church of the Open Door in Waco Texas and its pastor Ronnie Holmes have asked for First Liberty's help in setting Waco's city leaders straight on the First Amendment. When Pastor Ronnie and a small group from his church attended a festival in a city park that was open to the public, they found themselves banished far away from the festival to a free speech zone.

[EP 25-238] You ever get called out by someone who really sees you? I'm not talking about your mom after church or a best friend during a tequila confession.

That happened to me the other day — and the “person” who did it isn't a person at all.Colin Kaepernick is never going to give up on his dreams—or at least, that's the narrative he clings to. Every offseason, like a broken record, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback makes sure the world knows he's still in peak shape, still ready for an NFL return. And every year, the league responds with deafening silenceYou want to know what happens when your father gets booted from the party and his surrogate loses an election?

[EP 25-237] Democrats are a mob. And when I say mob, I mean like the Mafia only much worse.When you marry the mob with a cult, you get much closer to what the Democrats represent. I've spoken about them for years and still haven't tapped into their real essence. I can tell you that they have no moral core, but that only scratches the surface.When they speak of “democracy”, and they do it often, it's not what you think. It's the small group of elitists who determine their version of democracy. And that democracy will be beaten into you if necessary.Crime is how they operate. And it's the people in the shadows who authorize the street-level criminals to operate.By now we all know that the demonstrations are orchestrated and funded by anti-American leftist organizations. Who else would protest for illegal immigration?But it's one thing to protest, it's another to incite violence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They highlight key themes such as the importance of education, the challenges of speaking out, and the diversity of perspectives among their guests. The conversation emphasizes the value of community and collaboration in advocating for free speech and hints at future plans for the podcast, including a new upcoming complementary podcast focused on free markets. Don't forget to subscribe to our Substack: https://philosophicalliberal.substack.com/

We start with Doug's past as a member of the College Republicans, a segment of his life that seems almost distant now but also eerily relevant to the political climate we face today. His college experience at Ohio State in the mid-'80s was marked by a growing awareness of the discrepancies in the political narrative he had been raised with. Doug recounts how the rising tide of conservatism he once embraced began to clash with the realities he encountered—especially when it came to grappling with issues of race, free speech, and the responsibility of politicians towards their constituents.Then we examine the current political theater in Los Angeles, where President Trump's administration has been deploying the National Guard to suppress protests—despite local law enforcement asserting that the situation was under control. This aggressive response is less about maintaining order and more about sending a message, punishing California for its dissent against Trump's dictatorial tendencies. The reckless display of power raises critical concerns about a government that no longer feels the need to ask for cooperation but rather demands compliance. Digging deeper into the issue of immigration enforcement, we highlight the detrimental impact of ICE's recent actions in Los Angeles, a situation that reflects a broader pattern of racial profiling and abuse of power. The targeting of undocumented workers not only perpetuates a cycle of fear but also threatens the very fabric of our economy, as these individuals contribute significantly to industries that many Americans overlook. Local economies are disrupted, and the communities that rely on these workers suffer as well. We draw parallels between my college disillusionment and the current political landscape, where the values we once accepted are now recognized as harmful to the principles of justice and equity.Through personal anecdotes and current events, we emphasize the importance of free speech and peaceful protest, recalling a significant moment during Doug's college years when a counter-protester challenged a political figure's narrative. It served as a crucial reminder of the necessity for dissent in a democracy, a point that resonates strongly with the protests happening in response to Trump's actions today. We must resist the toxic mix of nationalism and authoritarianism that has taken root in our political discourse.Full Show Notes & Links Used Send us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Americans have faced, unfortunately, a number of movements and moments in our history where free speech – especially of a political nature – has been challenged and even quashed. Power-wielding opponents of free expression and debate have often sought to prevent debates and discussions from happening, in order to protect their interests. In this week's […]

A seventh-grade student who decided to push back against the trans agenda in public schools arrived in class wearing a t-shirt reading, “There are only two genders.” He was told to remove the shirt. He refused. He was sent home. He came back wearing the same shirt with the word CENSORED tape over the original message. He was sent home again. SCOTUS, apparently, is not interested.

What began as a call for justice has, in many cases, become an engine of conformity. In this searching conversation, Andrew Doyle (author, satirist, and cultural critic) joins Michael Shermer to unpack the trajectory of the woke movement: from its roots in anti-bigotry and awareness to its current entanglement with censorship, identitarian dogma, and ideological rigidity. Drawing on his new book, The End of Woke Doyle traces the intellectual history of contemporary activism, explores the authoritarian impulses emerging on both the left and the right, and makes the case for a return to classical liberalism as a defense against escalating cultural tribalism. Together, Shermer and Doyle explore themes ranging from the legacy of Shakespeare and Milton, the tension between equality and meritocracy, and the broader sociopolitical dynamics shaping public discourse. This episode offers a sharp, historically grounded analysis of one of the defining cultural shifts of our time—and a call to revive liberal principles in the face of rising ideological orthodoxy. Andrew Doyle is a writer, satirist and political commentator. He was formerly a Visiting Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast, and a lecturer at Oxford University where he completed his doctorate in Renaissance Literature. He is the creator of satirical character Titania McGrath, under whose name he has written two books: Woke: A Guide to Social Justice and My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism, both published by Little, Brown. Titania McGrath has over half a million followers on X. His previous books include Free Speech and Why it Matters and The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World. His new book is The End of Woke: How the Culture War Went Too Far and What to Expect from the Counter-Revolution.

Americans have faced, unfortunately, a number of movements and moments in our history where free speech - especially of a political nature - has been challenged and even quashed. Power-wielding opponents of free expression and debate have often sought to prevent debates and discussions from happening, in order to protect their interests. In this week's episode we explore a lesser-known example of this, in how slaveholders before the Civil War deliberately worked to deny free speech to both whites and African-Americans, enslaved and free. Dr. Cara Rogers Stevens, our host this week, is joined by Dr. Jonathan W. White to discuss his recent article on the topic.

There's a lawsuit right now that's testing the question of whether AI chatbots are protected by the First Amendment. And before we get into it, a warning that our story today includes discussion of suicide. Marketplace's Nova Safo spoke with Jane Bambauer, law professor at the University of Florida, who's been following this case.

In 2018, an anonymous Trump administration official delivered a stark warning about the threat he said the president posed with his erratic behavior. The author was later revealed to be Miles Taylor. When Trump returned to office, he claimed Taylor’s actions could be treasonous and ordered DHS and other agencies to launch an investigation. Taylor joined Amna Nawaz to discuss his legal response.

What if you could be arrested for your prayers? Sadly, that's no longer just a theoretical question. In countries across Europe, citizens are being prosecuted for their silent prayers, and this could all too easily become our reality in the U.S. if we refuse to stand boldly against censorship. Today on Fearless, Alliance Defending Freedom's Kristen Waggoner joins me to discuss these increasing attacks against religious liberty and free speech, what Europe's crackdown on “thought crimes” could mean for us here in America, and what we as Christians can—and should—do to protect our God-given rights. But despite the political and cultural tide seeming to turn against believers sharing our faith, Kristen also shares some encouraging news—including court cases that have upheld our right to free speech, and how censorship is being exposed more and more for what it is. We hope this conversation will serve as the wake-up call many of us need—challenging us as Christians not just to uphold free speech because that's our right as individuals created in God's image, but also because it's one of the primary ways to move the Gospel forward. You can learn more about Alliance Defending Freedom on their website: https://adflegal.org/.
