Podcasts about free speech

Imagine a future where the most persuasive voices in our society aren't human. Where AI generated speech fills our newsfeeds, talks to our children, and influences our elections. Where digital systems with no consciousness can hold bank accounts and property.  Where AI companies have transferred the wealth of human labor and creativity to their own ledgers without having to pay a cent. All without any legal accountability.This isn't a science fiction scenario. It's the future we're racing towards right now. The biggest tech companies are working right now to tip the scale of power in society away from humans and towards their AI systems. And the biggest arena for this fight is in the courts.In the absence of regulation, it's largely up to judges to determine the guardrails around AI. Judges who are relying on slim technical knowledge and archaic precedent to decide where this all goes. In this episode, Harvard Law professor Larry Lessig and Meetali Jain, director of the Tech Justice Law Project help make sense of the court's role in steering AI and what we can do to help steer it better.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Wednesday, July 30, and reports on the Epstein scandal spiraling out of President Trump's control, increasing backlash to Trump's power grabs and Trump's escalating attacks on free speech. Gary Shteyngart, Geraldo Rivera and Asha Rangappa join.

Rinse and repeat, as Trump confounds the so-called experts and thwarts all the tenets of Leftism like he's playing whack-a-mole with a sledge hammer.As I said yesterday, the man is unstoppable. You know why Trump is so formidable? He's one of the first presidents who doesn't need the money, nor does he care about it. What miracles did Trump work today. Because when it comes to what this guy does it's rinse and repeat. A broken record, where the same piece repeats over and over. And it's good news.Trump has put away all the Leftist tropes:He's a racist. He's sexists. He's whatever. And he's burying them on Epstein, piling dirt on top of their coffins, and they are too stupid to realize it's happening.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I have discussed Colbert, and I assure you that we are only at the beginning of this saga.That's how Leftism works. If he were a conservative, it would be over. Lose $40M a year, and that's that. We all understand the economics of it. If the show doesn't work, it doesn't work.But Leftism needs more than a financial reason to die. It can't be the message, right?!No, CBS letting Colbert go is a “right-wing” conspiracy. And what about the excuse that Trump did it, because he was awarded $16M in his lawsuit against CBS.Most Leftists don't know how much money Colbert makes. From what I read, they pay that clown $15M a year. I repeat, the show loses $40M annually.Consider how bad things are for Colbert today.

Twitter Space 17 July 2025In this episode, I examine the relationship between Christian ethics and atheist rationality, questioning why atheists choose honesty. I challenge them to reflect on their moral consistency and free speech, while discussing the implications of their left-leaning political stance. We explore whether objective moral standards exist in atheism and contrast abstract knowledge with its tangible outcomes. The conversation also addresses the societal impact of beliefs, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. My goal is to encourage atheists to articulate their ethical foundations and engage constructively with differing perspectives.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

I debated what to call this hour. The Left's Institutional Meltdown – Or, How to Lose a Government in 10 Years. I settled on meritocracy over madness.Trump's not perfect—but he's pragmatic. He bets on America and he's getting government out of the way. And that's why Leftists hate him: his successes expose their failures.Welcome to another day, another dose of hypocrisy, hysteria, and history repeating itself. When I think of Trump, I think of that Grace Jones song, “I'm not perfect, but I'm perfect for you.” {Shatner voice} Perfect man for the job. Spock, it's almost like God had a plan.Should we list all the problems ahead for Democrats?Trump isn't just winning—he's exposing the Left's entire operation like a magician revealing how the trick works, except the trick was "running the country," and the reveal is "Oh, you were terrible at it."

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round for a dose of reality so potent, even CNN's fact-checkers would need a lie-down afterward. We are living in the era of Donald J. Trump—a man who, against all odds, against all media hysterics, against every late-night host's nervous breakdown—continues to operate at a level that makes mere mortals look like extras in the background of Idiocracy.Now, I wasn't always a Trump acolyte. I didn't have a "Make America Great Again" hat collection in 2015. But here's the thing about reality—it has a way of humbling even the most skeptical among us. And what we're witnessing isn't just a presidency; it's a masterclass in how to dominate the global stage while your opponents are still trying to figure out why their latest smear campaign flopped harder than CNN+.Let's talk about the man's mind.

This week Connie and Jan discuss the Public Spaces Protection Order that has been passed by Thanet District Council (TDC). In the summer of 2024, the FSU threatened legal action when TDC proposed a similar measure. This is their second attempt, and there are still serious concerns that it will infringe on speech rights and is likely to be unlawful – the swearing ban! https://www.kentonline.co.uk/thanet/news/council-launches-fresh-bid-to-fine-people-for-swearing-327075/ Jon Farley was arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a satirical image made and published by Private Eye magazine about the proscription of Palestine Action. He was held for 6 hours and was eventually told no further action would be taken. The FSU has offered to look into helping the protestor with securing an apology from Leeds police. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/23/private-eye-cartoon-arrest-ian-hislop-protest Lord Toby Young has called for Akeela Ahmed to step down from the government's  Islamophobia Working Group due to a conflict of interest. Ms Ahmed is the incoming Chief Executive of the British Muslim Trust which aims to monitor incidents of Islamophobia and “raise awareness” of hate crime with the help of £1 million a year donation from the government, we argue that her position calls into question the ability of the working group to objectively assess the merits of an official definition of Islamophobia. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/07/21/conflict-interest-row-over-rayners-islamophobia-definition/?mc_cid=ced63ae64a&mc_eid=ad5cde99a7 Finally, some good news.

We kick off with Trump's uncanny ability to make you feel like the only person in the room, even when the room's a circus. This isn't some focus-grouped charm offensive—it's raw, unfiltered presence. When you meet him, it's not just a handshake; it's a moment where you're convinced he's actually hearing you, not mentally drafting a tweet. Compare that to the average politician, whose eyes glaze over like they're scanning a PowerPoint slide titled “How to Fake Empathy.” Trump's gift is his instinct for connection, a middle finger to the scripted platitudes of D.C.'s talking heads. Take his media scrums: no teleprompter, no handlers whispering in his ear. He's out there, raw-dogging questions with answers that land like a stand-up comic's punchline.

ChatGPT Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy on AI—Plus Laverne Cox Backlash Explained | Karel Cast 25-104 Trump just signed an executive order demanding AI developers pledge not to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, or LGBTQ+ rights. So I asked ChatGPT what it thinks—and the response was eye-opening, and ironically damning. Plus, Emmy-nominated trans actress Laverne Cox is under fire from her own fanbase after revealing she dated a younger, blonde MAGA-supporting cop. Is the backlash fair? Or does it reveal deeper divides in the LGBTQ+ community?

Another glorious week for the good guys—conservatives are on a winning streak so hot, Greta Thunberg might demand we turn the thermostat down.Meanwhile, Democrats are crapping their pants with no fresh pair of underwear in sight—because the Department of Diversity Laundry Services was defunded, and worse, Hegseth has removed the gender-neutral tampon machines in the Pentagon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Several groups of professors in the United States are suing the Trump administration over its policy of arresting, detaining, cancelling visas, and deporting students who participate in pro-Palestinian advocacy. The crackdown on free speech is creating a chilling effect across US academia, argues Jamil Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, which is one of the organisations that brought the lawsuit. Jaffer tells host Steve Clemons that the issue is much wider than the rights of non-citizens in the country. The government's actions have the effect of "stifling a political viewpoint that the government doesn't like".

I predict that Democrats have less than 50 million actual voters, and even fewer “true believers”Ask yourself who has the most dedicated, “sticky” voters, and no doubt it's the Republicans, or more so the “ReTrumplicans”. President Trump is on the 80 side of every 80/20 issue from immigration to inflation, yet we are told that his numbers are in the 40s or whatever. That's a statistical impossibility.

Let's run down the scoreboard:NATO win?Trump strolls in like the guy who lent his buddy twenty bucks five years ago—and finally gets paid back with interest. The Left said Trump would destroy NATO. Instead, he got them to pay their damn dues. That's not destroying—it's adulting.BBB passedThe Big Beautiful Bill will likely produce just like tariffs.

You ever notice how Donald Trump looks like he's aging in reverse? Man's got more energy than a toddler after a Capri Sun and a sugar stick. Meanwhile, Joe Biden looks like he's being kept alive by jumper cables. And Barack Obama? That man went from GQ cover model to “Morgan Freeman's understudy” in about six years flat. Why? Because stress will do that to you when the lies you told are aging faster than you are.You sleep well when you're righteous. You toss and turn when you know the walls are closing in.And that's exactly what we're watching unfold—Obama's chickens, all raised in the coop of corruption, finally coming home to roost. And they're not clucking. They're singing. Loudly. To every federal agency that'll listen. You can hear ‘em: “We framed Trump! We spied on him! Hillary paid for it!”—somebody grab Merrick Garland a fainting couch and a rosary.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats are too stupid to get with the program. Keep betting against America, aka MAGA and Trump. As opposed to supporting the efforts.Let's understand the Democrats' issue with blunt force. Democrats cannot admit they lost. Not in 2016, not in 2020, and certainly not going into 2025. Because admitting it unravels everything: the Russia hoax, the J6 setup, the weaponization of every institution they control. The rig is all they've got. They are out of tricks. The courts are toothless tigers against him, because SCOTUS has some sanity remaining.Trump uses THEIR crooked rules and still beats them. How disheartening must that be?No more indicting the man for breathing, suing him for blinking, and crying “fascist” every time the stock market hits a new high. Trump doesn't need their system. He's building his own. And in this next chapter, they're the ones on trial.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chris Feliciano Arnold, director of the creative-writing program at Saint Mary's College of California and the author of The Third Bank of the River: Power and Survival in the Twenty-First-Century Amazon (Picador, 2018), talks about his Atlantic article on the threats of denaturalization against citizens not born in the U.S. by the Trump administration and the chilling effect on free speech.

Dominic Green writes, “The war on free speech is about to violate the most sacred recesses of British life—not the home or the workplace, but the pub.” In legislation dubbed the “Banter Bill”, Parliament is attacking the center of British life in a new effort to hold employers accountable for staff's hurt feelings over third parties “offensive language”. Under the UK's two-tiered justice system, government is now in the service of a minority to punish perceived miscreants for free speech. How did the UK government arrive here? And how will the British restore freedom and common sense?Dominic Green is a fellow at the Royal Historical Society, a Wall Street Journal contributor, and a Washington Examiner columnist. He was previously a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and editor-in-chief of The Spectator's U.S. edition.

The media once shielded the Left like a Secret Service of stupidity. But now? The lights are out. Late-night clowns like Colbert are getting the hook, Kimmel's melting down like a wax statue in a Phoenix summer, and nobody's paying attention to them.Their job was to spin lies into punchlines, and now they're out of punch. Hollywood's panic isn't political—it's financial. And with the cultural tide turning, Trump isn't just winning votes—he's repossessing the narrative. Let's reframe: Democrats aren't afraid Trump will fail. They're afraid he won't. That his success will be undeniable. That people will remember how good it felt to win.So they float nonsense polls, peddle decline, and project failure into the future so they can say “See?” when growth plateaus. But the problem is, nobody's buying it anymore. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Let's kick this off by stating what we all know: Democrats don't play fair—they play fixed. Rigged elections, shadow NGOs laundering cash faster than a Vegas casino, and media parrots squawking the script like it's gospel. But then came Trump.Suddenly, the machine started sputtering like a '78 Pinto on its last leg. The Left's playbook—fear, fraud, and fake news—has been exposed, dissected, and thrown back in their faces with the force of a WWE folding chair shot. Now, they're stuck in a nightmare of their own making: What happens when the lies stop working?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 P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano is joined by Adam Kissel, author of Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation and visiting fellow for higher education reform at The Heritage Foundation. Kissel exposes the rot inside elite institutions, from Columbia University's descent into radicalism to the broader crisis of academic decline and student activism replacing scholarship. He explains why the name on a diploma too often outweighs the quality of education received, how taxpayer dollars are fueling the problem, and what states like Florida are doing to restore civic knowledge and classical learning. This conversation is essential listening for anyone concerned about the future of American higher education. Episode Highlights: How the Ivy League became more about prestige than academic excellence Why radicalism and disruptions threaten free speech and civic discourse What states can do to bring back classical education and real accountability

It's taken decades to build DC into what it is, and what it became is not good. Generally we wouldn't expect any significant change for decades or more.But Trump has managed to truly cause a rift in DC that very well could protect us for at least a decade. I used to think nothing could destroy America, but I've seen the Left…Now I'm just trying to protect the country every 4 years. We've operated in survival mode. This is the first time we've seen the possibility of making long-term impact.We need constant reminders to ourselves of our wins. The biggest came in November of last year, when Trump was re-elected for the 3rd time…What a difference maker that election has been. Consider all the possibilities of what would exist had Trump lost…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Folks, President Trump just pulled a Game of Thrones move on the Deep State—except instead of a sword, he used a declassification stamp. And oh boy, the Obama admin is looking less like "Hope and Change" and more like "Rope and Chains" as the truth comes out.Remember when Obama promised a "peaceful transition of power"? Turns out, he meant his power—over the DOJ, FBI, and any other three-letter agency willing to play To Catch a Trump. Tulsi Gabbard's recent bombshell proves what we've known: Obama wasn't just watching the Russia hoax—he was directing it. The man who lectured us on norms weaponized them.But let's be real—will Obama do the perp walk?

This week, Tom and Dylan unpack a troubling trend: media figures who speak out—especially against Trump—are increasingly facing lawsuits. What does that mean for free speech? They dive into the ripple effects of Stephen Colbert's firing and ask: was it really about money, or something deeper?

In this episode of Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill, we crack open an Amber Castle from Silver Branch Brewing and dig into Andrew Doyle's hard-hitting new book The End of Woke: How the Culture War Went Too Far and What to Expect from the Counter‑Revolution. What we cover:* Why 15 years of “woke” may have peaked — from DEI backlash to Trump's political re‑entry * Woke vs. Liberalism—Doyle argues woke isn't progressive—it's authoritarian masquerading as virtue * The rise of a counter-revolution: Are we replacing one tyranny with another? Doyle warns anti‑woke leaders can slip into censorship * Where do we go from here? Doyle's rallying call for true liberalism—free speech, rational debate, and defending individual liberty.Expect sharp insight, brutal honesty, animated debate… and some beer drinking.

God's promises enable us to live a God-designed life. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to inherit the promises of God. It starts with intending to honor Him as Lord of our lives—then choosing to listen to Him and obey His Word. Pastor Allen shares the importance of faith, patience, and cooperation in fostering a strong relationship with Jesus—one that helps us overcome any trials and hardships we face. God calls us to be overcomers, and He will give us the resources we need when we put our trust in Him.

Back in 2017 our colleagues at More Perfect gathered a room full of people together to debate a straight forward question: Can free speech go too far? Today, eight years have passed and plenty has changed, but this question feels alive as ever. And so we're re-airing More Perfect's The Hate Debate. Taped live at WNYC's Jerome L.
