Episode 282 - Literature and Free Speech with Adam Szetela

Democrats are rightfully panicked over their chances in the midterms and for lots of reasons. But Trump targeting the heart of their fundraising money-laundering service is cause for alarm.The backlash against ActBlue didn't come out of nowhere. In early 2025, a joint interim staff report from several House committees — including the House Judiciary Committee, the Committee on House Administration, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform — laid out serious allegations. The report claimed ActBlue had made its fraud‑prevention standards “more lenient” not once, but twice in 2024 — even while internal documents acknowledged that both foreign and domestic fraudulent actors were exploiting the platform.

They found the J6 pipe bomber. Lots of surprises with this one. Turns out the FBI knew about him all along and did nothing. Perhaps it was because the guy is BLACK.This might explain why the bombs never exploded. He's an affirmative action bomb maker. I'm surprised he didn't blow himself up.Why plant bombs and not detonate them? What was the plan? To just scare people with the thought of what might happen if the bombs explode. I hear that are scrubbing his social media, since he's not a member of MAGA or a Trump supporter. You knew the bomber wasn't a Trump supporter, or the FBI would have announced him during the Biden residency.9 of 10 undergrads believe words can be violence.

In this explosive episode, we break down the escalating clash between Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the EU's aggressive push to control political speech online.

MAGA - The Book of Trump In the grand theater of the cosmos, where divine order clashes with rebellious pride, the story of heaven's original exile sets the stage for every tale of downfall that follows. Picture Lucifer, the morning star, once a radiant cherub among the highest ranks of angels, anointed to guard God's holy mountain, his beauty and wisdom unmatched until iniquity twisted his heart like a serpent coiling around the throne. As the prophet Isaiah thundered in chapter 14, verses 12 through 15, Lucifer declared five defiant "I wills"—to ascend above the heights of the clouds, to exalt his throne above the stars of God, to be like the Most High himself. This was not mere ambition; it was hubris incarnate, a cosmic coup born of envy and entitlement, rallying a third of the heavenly hosts in a war that shook the foundations of eternity. Revelation 12 paints the cataclysm: Michael and his angels clashed with the dragon and his fallen legion, hurling the great deceiver, that ancient serpent called Satan, down to the earth like lightning from the sky, his place in heaven found no more.

I won't bother asking if you enjoy your time off. Weekends, holidays, whatever, because the fight wages on, no matter how we are spending our time. The good news is we have the most powerful warrior ever on earth in President Trump. For every devious idea Democrats have, President Trump comes back with FIVE amazing policy initiatives. And I want to begin this week by giving you my take on one of his most transformational policies ever.Trump Accounts are the most amazing thing Trump has done to date, and that's saying something. He is giving young Americans the ability to start their own social security accounts.Each child has the opportunity to hit the ground running as an adult.

The media are so busy seeing what they want to see, they miss the real picture.I love President Trump's accessibility. And I appreciate his style. It comes off over the top, but that's how he thinks.For some, his style is off-putting, but it's Trump being Trump. Remember how unbelievably idiotic Biden was, his comments and actions, and the Left would say, “That's Biden being Biden”. Not a problem, unless he's STARTING WARS, or SELLING OUT AMERICA TO THE CHINESE!Trump being Trump means America is winning. And it means something bad is being exposed.

“How stupid are Democrats?” Every time we think we've hit the bottom, they break out a jackhammer and start digging like they're hoping to discover a new layer of dumb beneath the mantle. Democrats don't just make mistakes—they build entire ecosystems of stupidity. They terraform reality until rational people look around thinking, “Did I miss a memo? Did the CDC issue a stupidity outbreak warning and I forgot to mask up?”I mean, we've reached the point where an overweight farm-animal-shaped dude—complete with a fully intact factory-issued reproductive package—wins the “World's Strongest Woman” contest. That's not progress; that's performance art for people who failed high-school biology but excelled in cosplay. And the best part? The contest officials were SHOCKED. “What? He's not a woman?” Like someone told them gravity was political.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

STARMER and BBC trying to destroy REFORM UK  #ReformUK #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #BBC #BBCBias #QuestionTime #ZiaYusuf #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  Is Keir Starmer now treating Nigel Farage and Reform UK as the real opposition — and is the BBC playing along? In this live show we look at the intensifying political and media attacks on Nigel Farage, as Labour figures repeatedly label Reform UK as "racist" and "extreme", while Farage's popularity and Reform's polling continue to rise. We examine the recent revival of long-standing allegations relating to Farage's school years — claims he strongly denies — and ask why decades-old accusations, dating back to when he was 13, are being pushed so aggressively now.  Is this legitimate scrutiny — or a political smear designed to delegitimise a movement before voters properly hear its case?  We also break down the controversial BBC Question Time episode featuring Zia Yusuf, where editorial decisions — including inviting a small-boat migrant into the studio audience to directly challenge Reform UK — have raised serious questions about impartiality.  Finally, we ask the question many viewers are asking: Are the BBC and Labour acting independently — or are they aligned when it comes to stopping Reform UK? Watch and decide for yourself, and make up your own mind. #ReformUK #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #BBC #BBCBias #QuestionTime #ZiaYusuf #SmallBoats #IllegalMigration #MediaBias #FreeSpeech #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #CancelCulture #Establishment #PoliticalSmears  Reform UK, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Labour Party, BBC, BBC bias, Question Time, Zia Yusuf, small boats, illegal migration, media bias, free speech, UK politics, Jon Gaunt, JonGauntTV, political smears, establishment politics, cancel culture  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Democrats are finally suffering from the “Chicken Little” effect—but on steroids, fentanyl, and whatever MSNBC prescribes to keep its hosts upright.They've screamed apocalypse so many times that the public could watch a mushroom cloud bloom over the DNC Headquarters and still assume it's a TikTok filter. They lie so compulsively, with such industrial efficiency, that Americans have developed herd immunity. Nobody believes anything they say. Nor should they.And now, with their credibility stripped for scrap like a stolen catalytic converter, the Democrats are entering the stage of desperation usually reserved for contestants on COPS reruns—the moment when panic overrides intelligence and the perpetrator implicates himself while trying to blame everyone else.Recently, I wrote that Democrats are so out of lies, so tapped out of their usual identity-politics scratch-off cards, that they did the unthinkable: They stopped pulling the race card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Donald Trump's second term has seen a deliberate push to further entrench conservative influence in the federal judiciary, building on his first-term record of confirming 234 Article III judges (including three Supreme Court justices), which shifted the courts rightward and impacted rulings on issues like abortion, voting rights, and immigration. As of November 2025, the Senate has confirmed 253 total Article III judges from his nominations across both terms, with ongoing efforts to fill 47 current vacancies. However, Trump's pace has been slower this term—his first nomination came in late April 2025, compared to a rapid start in 2017—due to fewer vacancies (thanks to Biden's 235 confirmations) and a focus on executive branch roles.

Before I continue down the path with Democrats vs reality, I have a question. Where have the pronouns gone?I talked recently about how fast Trump moves, and didn't even think about this one until recently. Trump killed pronouns in the great pronoun purge of 2025. Pronouns have fizzled out faster than a Leftist's grasp on reality. And here Leftists thought they had started a cultural revolution.The pronouns nonsense exploded on the scene. It burst in like your drunk uncle crashing your barbecue.Weirdos demanded we refer to them as "he/him," "she/her," or God forbid, "ze/zir" like it was some profound act of enlightenment? The they/them crowd got me, though. People would refer to they, and I was like “We is THEY?” Are we talking about Tina who used to be Ted?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A stunning new internal report, a nine-month, 21-state research project funded by the Democrat-aligned group Democracy Matters, has come to a conclusion so obvious it's like paying a scientist to confirm that water is, in fact, wet.The findings, published by POLITICO, reveal that working-class voters—you know, the people who actually build things, grow things, and fix things—see the Democratic Party as “woke, weak and out-of-touch.”[X] SB – Crowder lists crimes by illegalsSix in ten have a negative view of the party.

Driven by workers seeking fair wages, safer working conditions, and a voice at the table, local unionization has repeatedly made headlines here in Cleveland. One thing is clear: This isn't your grandparents' labor movement.

Media expert Stuart Brotman joins the program for an eye-opening conversation about the growing crisis of censorship and control in America. As an advisor to four U.S. presidents and one of the nation's leading authorities on media law and free expression, Brotman brings a unique and deeply informed perspective on how our digital environment is being shaped behind the scenes.Together, we dive into Section 230, the shifting legal landscape, and how the justice system is struggling to catch up with the power of today's tech giants. We confront the real-world consequences of these failures, including my own case: a smear campaign and explicit, defamatory associations that appeared on the front page of Google Search—damaging not only to me as a journalist, but to every American who depends on a fair and safe information ecosystem.This conversation is a clear warning: what happened to me can happen to anyone, and the public deserves transparency, accountability, and the right to their own reputation.To go deeper into these issues, you can purchase Stuart Brotman's groundbreaking new book here: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510786752/free-expression-under-fire/See exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

A great line from the film. "What we do in life, echoes throughout all eternity!" That line was given by Maximus to his best troops. Vishal Wagh writes:What he says is not only rousing and uplifting; it's also deeply philosophical. And going beyond its battlefield context, it is also a map that leads us to the film's thematic center, as well as Maximus' own character journey. It signifies everything that Maximus will have to face—love, loyalty, betrayal, and the ultimate test of honor.These are the words spoken by a man who is heading towards a destiny where he will lose everything, i.e., except his reputation. This single line is the reason why we still remember him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I think we are spoiled by Trump, because he acts fast. Take the drug war, for example.To be clear, I have mixed emotions about what he's doing. That said, what else has worked?Kurt Schlichter said that the US bombed ships trying to bring mustard gas to the US and mustard gas killed no one American.But drugs kill 100,000 Americans a year.Reagan got Nancy to launch, “Just say no!”, as Americans were saying, YES YES YES!We had commercials showing our brains as fried eggs, and drug addicts just asked for bacon!Trump acted. Definitively. Is it working? I don't know. But I know I would get on any boat out of Venezuela for the foreseeable future. And Maduro is in BIG trouble politically, since drugs finance his regime.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats are intensely interested in stories, a pattern of intense advocacy on certain issues. This is almost always followed by silence once outcomes shift or complications arise. Democrats abandon their so-called principled stances on things more whimsical than a model changes clothes. I have many examples, like the Epstein files. How many interviews did these butt-clowns do, DEMANDING release of the Epstein files? And there are MANY more of these "silences"...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the ThoughtStretchers podcast, host Drew Perkins talks with Dr. Barbara Oakley, distinguished professor of engineering and co-instructor of the celebrated Learning How to Learn course, to discuss her critical opinion piece: Censorship Hurts Our Brains: Why Neuroscience Confirms the Importance of Free Speech. They dive deep into the neural mechanisms behind free expression, the challenges facing K-12 education, and the dangers of sacrificing liberty for perceived order. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode + Video Podcast Show Notes & Main Discussion Points: Neuroscience and Free Speech: Dr. Oakley explains that exposure to differing viewpoints is essential for cognitive flexibility and how emotional upset literally impedes rational thought when we engage with challenging ideas. The 'Cult of Safety': We examine how the modern pursuit of "safe spaces" can ironically lead to a heightened acceptance of hostility toward people with different political views. K-12 Education & Free Speech: We explore the difficulty of promoting civic thought in K-12, noting the tension between academic freedom and the need for interventions to overcome ineffective educational practices. Critique of Constructivism: Dr. Oakley argues that pure constructivism in education is "completely opposed... to neuroscience," and suggests a balanced "knowledge-rich inquiry" model, guided by Socratic questioning, as a more effective path to true learning. Order vs. Liberty: Finally, we discuss how a perceived loss of public safety and order can make a population more willing to compromise essential liberties, including free speech. Time-Stamped Highlights: The Neuroscience of Free Speech (00:07:01): Dr. Oakley explains how engaging with opposing viewpoints—especially through her free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the neurocognitive perspective of free speech—is vital for building cognitive flexibility. The Cult of Safety (00:20:17): Barbara Oakley discusses the "cult of safety" and how the swift transition from the pursuit of safe spaces to the acceptance of hostility toward people with differing political beliefs is a worrying trend. Emotional Upset vs. Rational Thought (00:23:15): A key takeaway from the neuroscience perspective is that emotional upset makes rational, conscientious engagement with an upsetting topic extremely difficult. The best approach is to manage emotions and seek to understand why people hold their beliefs. The Dilemma of K-12 Civic Education (00:10:59): Drew Perkins highlights the struggle to promote civic thought and enlightenment tradition principles in schools, noting that the lack of connection to test scores often pushes these initiatives aside. Government Intervention & 'Paradigm Cartels' (00:13:37): They discuss the tension between academic freedom and the occasional necessity of legislative intervention to overcome entrenched, ineffective beliefs in education, citing the "reading wars" and the mandate of phonics instruction as an example. The Dangers of Anti-Liberal Movements (00:30:52): Drew Perkins explores the growing "post-liberal and/or anti-liberal" movements on both the political right and left, expressing concern that these forces are dangerously pushing against the fundamental issue of free speech. Constructivism vs. Neuroscience (00:39:41): Dr. Oakley argues that the pervasive influence of pure constructivism in K-12 is "completely opposed... to neuroscience," citing negative learning outcomes in places like New Zealand, where a student-centered approach has been extensively applied. The Power of Knowledge-Rich Inquiry (00:45:29): They align on a knowledge-rich inquiry model, where a teacher uses Socratic questioning to narrow the "potential solution space," leading the student to the final 'aha' moment and strengthening the neural connection, which is a key part of effective teaching. Loss of Order and Compromising Liberty (00:38:40): The conversation concludes by linking the loss of public order and stability to a population's increased willingness to sacrifice liberties, like free speech, in exchange for a feeling of safety and for the metaphorical "trains to run on time."

In this episode of The Collective Perspective, Travis and Jeff dive into the Paradox of Tolerance—the idea that a society that is too tolerant may eventually enable intolerance to take over. We unpack: • What the paradox really means (and what it doesn't). • Where tolerance ends and self-preservation begins. • Why it's not about shutting people down, but about protecting healthy dialogue. • Real-world examples of tolerance being tested today.

President Donald Trump's biggest legacy will be with the courts. And as I wrote recently, he's playing the long game better than any modern president. His second term has seen a deliberate push to further entrench conservative influence in the federal judiciary, building on his first-term record of confirming 234 Article III judges (including three Supreme Court justices), which shifted the courts rightward and impacted rulings on issues like abortion, voting rights, and immigration. As of November 2025, the Senate has confirmed 253 total Article III judges from his nominations across both terms, with ongoing efforts to fill 47 current vacancies.

The media are so busy seeing what they want to see, they miss the real picture. Take President Trump for example. I love President Trump's accessibility. And I appreciate his style. It comes off over the top, but that's how he thinks.For some, his style is off-putting, but it's Trump being Trump.Remember how unbelievably idiotic Biden was, his comments and actions, and the Left would say, “That's Biden being Biden”. Not a problem, unless he's STARTING WARS, or SELLING OUT AMERICA TO THE CHINESE!Trump being Trump means America is winning. And it means something bad is being exposed.

In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Julian Raven — British-born, Spanish-raised, American artist, entrepreneur, and First Amendment activist. Raven's story is as unique as his art: from missionary work to becoming a multidisciplinary artist, and from the pulpit to the courtroom. He became nationally known after his Trump portrait was rejected by the Smithsonian, launching an eight-year legal battle that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. His fight revealed deep questions about free speech, artistic freedom, and government accountability.

FFS! RIGHT MUST UNITE TO BEAT STARMER  #Starmer #Farage #BenHabib #RupertLowe #TommyRobinson #ReformUK #JonGaunt #Live  Starmer is clinging on and is determined not to resign so the Right of politics need to stop their playground squabbling and unite to prevent and obstruct Starmer's determination to wreck the UK.  We can not wait another 4 years to remove this lousy Labour Government we need an united opposition.  Farage and Rupert Lowe need to "kiss and make up." Ben Habib's considerable intellect needs to be employed and of course Tommy Robinson has the ability to get people out on to the streets. All of these leaders claim they are Patriots so now they need to prove that with their actions by uniting and opposing all the social engineering that Starmer will want to implement: ID cards, illegal migrants, rejoining EU, and FREE SPEECH restrictions and much more. Starmer and Lord Hermer have already shown their intent with their attacks on Farage and his alleged comments as a 13 year old boy!  Farage today the rest of them tomorrow?  Join me and tell me what you think.  #Starmer #Farage #BenHabib #RupertLowe #TommyRobinson #ReformUK #JonGaunt #Live #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #ReformUK #UKPolitics #jongaunttv #JonGaunt #TalkRadio #FreeSpeech #CancelCulture #Brexit #UKPolitics #NoCensorship #CultureWar #PoliticalCommentary #AntiWoke  Starmer, Farage, Ben Habib, Rupert Lowe, Tommy Robinson Reform UK, Jon Gaunt, Live This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Democrats are finally suffering from the “Chicken Little” effect—but on steroids, fentanyl, and whatever MSNBC prescribes to keep its hosts upright.They've screamed apocalypse so many times that the public could watch a mushroom cloud bloom over the DNC Headquarters and still assume it's a TikTok filter. They lie so compulsively, with such industrial efficiency, that Americans have developed herd immunity. Nobody believes anything they say. Nor should they.And now, with their credibility stripped for scrap like a stolen catalytic converter, the Democrats are entering the stage of desperation usually reserved for contestants on COPS reruns—the moment when panic overrides intelligence and the perpetrator implicates himself while trying to blame everyone else.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“How stupid are Democrats?” Every time we think they've hit the bottom, they break out a jackhammer and start digging like they're hoping to discover a new layer of dumb beneath the mantle. Democrats don't just make mistakes—they build entire ecosystems of stupidity. They terraform reality until rational people look around thinking, “Did they miss a memo? Did the CDC issue a stupidity outbreak warning and Democrats forgot to quarantine?”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we are cutting through the swamp like a chainsaw through tofu. I mentioned Adam Schiff earlier, and the latest episode of his Never-Ending Audition for America's Most Wanted.You know the guy— that perpetually squinting senator from California who's spent the last decade treating Congress like his personal fanfic workshop. Remember when he swore up and down he had "direct evidence" of Trump-Russia collusion? Turns out, it was about as real as a Hollywood set: all smoke, mirrors, and a script written by his own fever dreams. The House censured him for it in 2023, called him out for peddling fairy tales that wasted millions in taxpayer dollars and turned our intelligence community into a bad spy novel. But hey, in Democrat land, lying isn't a bug—it's the operating system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
