The Trump administration escalates its fight to cut federal ties with Harvard over anti-Semitism and race-based policies, while RFK Jr. officially ends COVID vaccine recommendations for healthy kids and pregnant women. Trump's optimism for Russia-Ukraine peace fades amid escalating missile strikes, and Justices Alito and Thomas dissent in a free speech case involving a student's “two genders” shirt. From Tommy Tuberville's Alabama governor bid to Ron DeSantis slamming GOP inaction on DOGE cuts, plus why Democrats face a “matrix” problem.

A Massachusetts student's t-shirt reading “There Are Only Two Genders” ignited a national free speech debate—and the Supreme Court just passed on the case. In this episode, Michael dives into what Justice Alito's fiery dissent reveals, whether schools are suppressing student viewpoints, and why ignoring the controversy might have been the better option. Are public schools upholding the First Amendment—or playing favorites? Be sure to vote on today's daily poll question at Smerconish.com: Does the First Amendment protect a public middle school student's right to wear a t-shirt saying: “There Are Only Two Genders”?

In this episode of the Free Speech Forward podcast, Chris and Joia engage with Arnold Cantú, a clinical social worker and psychotherapist, discussing the critical role of free speech in academia and education. Arnold shares his personal experiences as a Colorado State University doctoral student, where he faced challenges to his beliefs and values from faculty. The conversation explores the importance of moral courage, the need for open dialogue in educational settings, and the impact of these experiences on Arnold's professional practice in mental health. Discover more about Arnold's academic work at:  https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Arnoldo-Cantu

America's Political Prisoner Mahmoud Khalil—Columbia student, green card holder, and husband to a U.S. citizen—has been detained for nearly three months without being charged with a single crime. His “crime”? Leading peaceful pro-Palestinian protests and refusing to cover his face. While his wife Noor Abdallah gave birth to their son alone, Mahmoud sat in ICE detention in Louisiana.Hawk discusses the heartbreaking and outrageous story of Khalil's arrest, the shadowy role of Canary Mission, and the disturbing involvement of officials like Marco Rubio and Columbia professor Shai Davidai. He explores how dissent is being criminalized in real time under the Trump administration—and how Canary Mission's blacklisting of activists is being used to feed arrests.Hawk highlights the courageous voice of Mahmoud's wife Noor Abdallah, legal updates on Mahmoud's case, and the broader implications for First Amendment rights, academic freedom, and the silencing of Palestinian solidarity.This is a story of political imprisonment, media complicity, and systemic injustice. It's also a story of resilience, love, and the quiet strength of a family fighting back.

In the U.S., it unpacks the unprecedented clash between the Trump administration and Harvard, raising broader questions about academic freedom, ideological conformity, and the role of government oversight.

At this very moment, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who have managed to survive Israel's scorched-earth siege and bombing are being deliberately starved to death as a result of Israel's 11-week blockade preventing food and aid from entering Gaza. As Jem Bartholemew writes at The Guardian, “The UN's humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC [Tuesday] morning that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid did not reach them in time. Five aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday but Fletcher described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population's needs.” In response to this dire humanitarian crisis, students at multiple university campuses in the US have launched hunger strikes in solidarity with the starving people of Gaza. In this urgent episode, we speak with four hunger strikers at the University of Oregon (UO), including: Cole, Sadie, and Efron, three undergraduate students who are all members of Jewish Voice for Peace - UO and who just completed a 60-hour solidarity hunger strike; and Phia, a Palestinian-American undergraduate student who has organized with JVP-UO on the hunger strike and who currently remains on hunger strike herself.Additional links/info:UO Gaza Hunger Strike Instagram and TikTokUO Gaza Hunger Strike: Community Calls to Action!Press Release: University of Oregon Students, Faculty, and Staff Launch “UO Gaza Hunger Strike” Campaign Protesting Mass Starvation and GenocideJewish Voice for Peace - UO InstagramNathan Wilk, KLCC, “University of Oregon protesters begin hunger strike for Gaza”Michael Arria, Mondoweiss, “Students across the U.S. are going on hunger strike as Israeli-engineered famine takes hold in Gaza”Syma Mohammed, Middle East Eye, “US: UCLA student hospitalised during hunger strike for Gaza”Jem Bartholemew, The Guardian, “First Thing: UN says 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours under Israeli aid blockade”Ronen Bergman & Natan Odenheimer, The New York Times, “In private, some Israeli officers admit that Gaza is on the brink of starvation”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “‘The raids happened Wednesday, finals started Thursday': FBI agents raid homes of pro-Palestine students at University of Michigan”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “‘A tremendous chilling effect': Columbia students describe dystopian reality on campus amid Trump attacks”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “‘People are hiding in their apartments': Inside Trump's assault on universities” Maximillian Alvarez, The Real News Network, “‘Worse' than McCarthyism: Trump's war on higher education, free speech, and political dissent”Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

As the lasting impact of colonialism and slavery is felt throughout Native American tribes and Black communities today, museums across the nation are grappling with issues of patrimony and provenance regarding art, artifacts, relics, and remains. These items were often taken without consent, long before ethical protocols for procurement were established.rnrnNow, museums are working to find solutions in collaboration with community and comply with federal laws, such as the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Enacted in the 1990s, the Biden Administration recently issued updated policies that ultimately led to some museums covering up or removing some displays until the appropriate determinations could be made. This act reignited a conversation on museums' role in reconciliation, addressing historical injustices, and cross-cultural understanding.rnrnThe City Club is once again proud to partner with The Cleveland Orchestra as part of the third annual Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Opera and Humanities Festival. Join us as we hear from museum leadership from Washington, D.C., New York City, and here in Ohio on how American cultural institutions are charting a new path forward on reconciliation and repatriation.

Jordi Calvet-Bademunt, a senior research fellow at The Future of Free Speech and visiting scholar at Vanderbilt University, joins Eric Wilson to discuss AI regulations and their potential unintended consequences for free speech. In this eye-opening conversation, Calvet-Bademunt reveals how the anticipated wave of AI-generated deepfakes during the 2024 elections failed to materialize despite widespread panic from global institutions and media.The episode explores why AI is being treated differently than previous communication technologies, examines the risks of overly broad regulations, and highlights how both government policies and corporate self-censorship could threaten political discourse. Calvet-Bademunt shares surprising research findings about the actual impact of deepfakes in recent elections worldwide and advocates for media literacy over restrictive policies while celebrating the positive potential of AI in political communication.For campaign professionals and political strategists, this conversation offers valuable insight into navigating the evolving relationship between emerging technology and free speech in democratic systems.Subscribe on YouTube: Visit the Campaign Trend Website: Follow us on X Follow us on LinkedIn Subscribe to our Newsletter Become a Campaign Trend Insider

On this episode of Future of Freedom, host Scot Bertram is joined by two guests with different viewpoints about whether federal involvement safeguards or endangers free speech on college campuses. First on the show is Keith E. Whittington, is the David Boies Professor of Law at Yale Law School and founding chair of the Academic Freedom Alliance. Later, we hear from Charles Fain Lehman, fellow at the Manhattan Institute and senior editor of City Journal. You can find Keith on X @kewhittington and Charles at @CharlesFLehman. Both have written essays at The Dispatch on this topic. Whittington's can be found here while Lehman's can be found here.

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Monday, April 19, and reports on President Trump's free speech crackdown with James Comey, Trump's flip-flop on tariffs and House Republicans' effort to gut healthcare for millions of Americans. Dr. David Kessler, Maya Wiley and David Ziblatt join.

The President of FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) talks to Ann about the status of free speech on the nation's campuses, standing up for freedom of expression no matter how odious the speaker, and the current state of cancel culture.

James Comey has just come out with his latest novel FDR Drive. This legal thriller once again follows federal prosecutor Nora Carleton as she contends with a wave of violence tied to an extremist podcaster. We had the opportunity to speak with James Comey about the new book, the shades of gray between free speech and incitation, and his own memories of dealing with institutional rivalries, reluctant jurors, and high-profile cases as a prosecutor.

In this explosive monologue, the speaker uncovers a web of government-funded censorship initiatives, including claims that a nonprofit used taxpayer dollars to suppress Donald Trump's messaging and blacklist news outlets. Citing the National Endowment for Democracy and the Global Disinformation Index, the episode delves into alleged efforts to intimidate advertisers and silence dissenting voices. The host warns of the erosion of free speech, government manipulation, and media complicity. Shifting gears, the episode questions the official narrative around Jeffrey Epstein's death and Trump's assassination, before ending with newly revealed drone incidents near U.S. military sites—adding to the mystery surrounding national security transparency. A high-octane, provocative breakdown of power, control, and the battle for truth in America.

Across two intense segments, this broadcast exposes a sweeping campaign of government-backed censorship, alleged corruption, and disturbing cover-ups. The host unpacks how taxpayer-funded nonprofits like the National Endowment for Democracy and the Global Disinformation Index were used to suppress conservative voices, manipulate search engines, and threaten advertisers—all under the guise of fighting "misinformation." The monologue then dives into unanswered questions surrounding Donald Trump's assassination, Epstein's death, and suspicious federal inaction. Finally, the focus shifts to bizarre and escalating drone/UFO incursions near U.S. military sites, raising urgent questions about national security, government transparency, and who really holds the reins of power. A hard-hitting warning about what's at stake when truth becomes a casualty.

As Harvard and the Trump administration continue their funding feud, we examine what's at stake. The administration says the university is politically biased and wants Harvard to fundamentally change its hiring practices, admissions processes, student and faculty composition, and more. Over $2.2 billion in federal funding is set to be terminated, and the esteemed university's tax-exempt status is on the chopping block. Harvard is suing the Trump administration to halt the funding freeze. What are the implications of this clash at the highest levels of academia? Here to discuss are Manhattan Institute Fellow Colin Wright and Professor Emeritus at Golden Gate University School of Law and UC San Francisco Law, Timothy Alan Simon.

President Trump wrapped up his three-nation Middle East trip on Friday, after receiving various warm welcomes and securing business agreements in the region. Charles believes the president's positive reception was a product of his open communication and representation of American values — a claim he supports with an international free speech index.  FOX News host Julie Banderas and National Review staff writer Caroline Downey join Charles to discuss how some Middle Eastern countries seem to be showing increased support for free speech, all while it becomes an increasingly polarizing issue in the U.S.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special "Open Line Friday" episode, Tara Servatius experiments with taking live listener calls, addressing why she typically avoids them during peak morning hours. The show dives deep into pressing topics, including Representative Nancy Mace's court appearance over an assassination threat, escalating violence tied to illegal immigration, and the Biden administration's border failures. Passionate callers weigh in on issues ranging from political violence and media bias to grassroots action—like a newly launched petition urging Governor McMaster to crack down on illegal immigration. Raw, real, and unfiltered, this episode captures the intensity of a nation on edge.

Originally expanded in 2014 under the Kasich administration, Ohio is one of 41 states, including the District of Columbia, that has implemented Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. However, the addition of trigger language into the current state budget bill would allow Ohio to disenroll from Medicaid expansion if federal assistance for the program drops below 90%. The trigger language comes as congressional Republicans in D.C. consider cutting the federal match for Medicaid expansion.rnrnFor Ohio, it's a move that could strip healthcare access from over 770,000 Ohioans; including about 362,000 in rural Ohio counties.rnrnAdvocates in health equity, maternal and infant vitality, mental health, and more have sounded the alarm on what it means to return to an era before Medicaid expansion. A rollback would also disproportionately impact rural communities and their hospitals, adding to already staggering health disparities.rnrnFeaturing:rnDomonic HopsonrnPresident and CEO, Neighborhood Family PracticernrnBeejadi Mukunda, MDrnVP & Market Chief Medical Officer, Ohio, CareSourcernrnAmy Rohling McGeernPresident, Health Policy Institute of OhiornrnModeratorrnEmily CampbellrnPresident & CEO, The Center for Community Solutions

Reasonable? 'I Still Have No Idea': Oliver Gets Confused By Religious FreedomWhat Does God's Word Say?Luke 11:14-20 Jesus and Beelzebul14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. 15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.” 16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.17 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

In this powerful and timely talk, Yaron Brook explores the true meaning and enduring value of Western civilization—tracing its roots from the Renaissance and Enlightenment to the principles that gave rise to science, individual liberty, and unprecedented human progress. Challenging the myths of multicultural relativism and confronting both external threats and internal self-doubt, the speech makes a passionate case for why Western civilization must be understood, celebrated, and defended. This is a compelling defense of the ideas that have shaped the modern world—and a call to stand up for the culture of reason, freedom, and human dignity.This talk was delivered on April 29, 2025 at Northwood University.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBrook/joinLike what you hear?
