062426 SHORT 43 MIN Susan on Freedom of Speech Cases Charlie Kirk Celeste Maloy Winning Gavin Gruesom by Kate Dalley

It's 10 years since a Hong Kong bookseller who was detained for selling material critical of China's leaders, was released and went public.In 2015, Lam Wing-Kee and four other men who published and sold books went missing. The case of the booksellers raised international concerns that Hong Kong's judicial independence and freedom of speech were being eroded. Protests followed. On 21 June 2016, Mr Lam was released after eight months in detention on the Chinese mainland and he returned to Hong Kong. He tells Josephine McDermott that he took the decision to hold a press conference because “If I didn't speak out, Hong Kong's freedoms of speech and press would suffer in silence”.Lam Wing-Kee left Hong Kong in 2019 fearing new extradition rules.

The BMJ called Bad Influence "a timely and eye-opening investigation...essential reading," but spoiler: I don't agree. I found the reporting solid, and she made good points about how social media prioritizes stories over science, but I disagreed with nearly every solution. As an American who values free speech and medical autonomy, I want control over my health and freedom to speak. The author's UK, socialized-medicine perspective leads her to lean toward regulation and centralized answers — that's just not my worldview. I gave the book two stars: worth reading if you want to understand the problems, but don't expect the proposed fixes to support medical autonomy nor freedom of speech.   Get the book Bad Influence: How the Internet Hijacked Our Health by Deborah Cohen   JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO'S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!

Nigel Antony Gray, a New Zealand researcher known for detailed Official Information Act (OIA) requests, discusses a recent police response that accused him of being “vexatious". The police say they are now actively monitoring his social media posts, and they have refused to give further information on the new compulsory roadside oral drug testing regime, which Gray was seeking further information about, including asking specifically about safety data.The conversation covers Gray's concerns about the clear lack of safety data on the roadside drug swabs and chemical fluids, and the potential long-term health risks these could entail. High false positive rates, and concerns about infringing upon the Bill Of Rights are other major concerns. As well as broader issues of police transparency, freedom of speech, and government accountability (or the lack therof...).Gray also shares insights into his analytical research methods and work on topics such as shipping emissions containing cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and the negative impacts of this pollution on New Zealand's atmospheric conditions.Links:Police now refusing OIA requests — and monitoring my Facebook posts?: https://www.facebook.com/groups/513077184341057/posts/1308987041416730/The Police are now reading my posts: https://www.facebook.com/nigel.gray.5/posts/pfbid02GDz2z6rcAKom21AY2QRCpmbbMpB1c8rwNia3hWNcxgBxASnNbJQDgmJTQMtEnwz5l?rdid=caIouLpMW1JifStZROAD SIDE Drug Testing Explained in Simple Terms: https://www.advancediagnostics.co.nz/road-side-drug-testing-explained-in-simple-terms/Bill Of Rights - Section 9: Right not to be subjected to torture or cruel treatment: https://nzccl.org.nz/bill-of-rights-act/section-9-right-not-to-be-subjected-to-torture-or-cruel-treatment/New Zealand Police - Drug screening test Info: https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-services/drugs-and-alcohol/roadside-drug-driving-testing/health-and-safety-and-privacySecurtec Saliva drug test DrugWipe: https://www.securetec.net/en/products/saliva-drug-test-drugwipe/Where do cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) come from?: https://courses.ems.psu.edu/meteo300/node/67191% of Kiwis over the age of 65 are on some form of medication: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/hannah-mcqueen-could-your-prescription-medication-be-speeding-up-your-decline/premium/AAPO74ZR45CPVIYO3TFHDVNQ6A/NEW ZEALAND PRO-SURVIVAL CHARTER: https://www.facebook.com/groups/945959371693458Nigel Antony Gray on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nigel.gray.5/Nigel on Substack: https://nigelgrayearthpulse.substack.comTo send a tip to Nigel for the important work he is doing:Name: Nigel Antony GrayAccount: 03-1771-0572896-00Support FreeNZ:Substack: https://freenz.substack.com/Locals: https://freenz.locals.comBuy Me A Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/supportfreenzKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/freenzhttps://freenz.carrd.coEmail: freenewzealand[at]protonmail[dot]com for bank account details.Affiliates:Dioxi Care - Chlorine Dioxide based Oral Care, Skin Care & Veterinary & Wound Care: https://frontierpharm.com/?sca_ref=9717384.brQladA5pgSnoot Spray - Chlorine Dioxide based Nasal Cleaner: https://www.snootspray.com/?sca_ref=9667634.AV2NJQvGlTBlock Blue Light - Red Light Glasses, Full Spectrum Lightbulbs & Sleep Tools to optimise your light environment and prioritise your wellbeing: https://www.blockbluelight.co.nz/?ref=FreeNZMediaWide Awake Media - Freedom T-Shirts: https://wideawake.clothing/en-nz?sca_ref=9458851.1aXfjvGDqL

Who is Maria?Maria Dolores: A Life Guided by Seven PrinciplesMaria Dolores's journey is deeply anchored in her belief in seven guiding principles. From an early age, she embraced the right to her body, her emotions, and her thoughts, cherishing both the freedom and the responsibility that come with caring for her physical and mental well-being. As she matured, Maria expanded her focus to the importance of personal power, communication, and the essence of life itself. She believes every person deserves the right to express themselves—whether through speech or creativity—while maintaining accountability for their actions and words.Maria's story is one of balancing self-awareness with compassion for others, always striving to act with dignity and listen with an open heart, embodying the fundamental human needs of both the individual and the collective.Key Takeaways* Maria Dolores shares the Human Constitution—7 principles for rights and responsibilities—drawing from global values and encouraging maturity, dignity, and collaboration in every aspect of life and work.* Leaders, business owners, and individuals: caring for physical and mental health isn't just personal, it's foundational for thriving teams. Maria reminds us, maturity starts with self-awareness and responsibility.* Our experiences, from grief to joy, shape how we connect and broaden perspectives. Maria believes embracing discomfort and lessons is key to growing as individuals and humanity as a whole.* The Human Constitution isn't top-down or political—it's an invitation to reflect on our rights and responsibilities. Change begins within, and our ideas can change the world.* Dignity means wearing your crown and honoring others' crowns, too. Maria's life and work remind us: we all have birthrights, but true maturity comes when we care for ourselves and each other with integrity.00:00 “Maria Dolores: Five Questions Chat”04:18 Human Constitution: Rights and Responsibilities09:28 “Striving for Human Maturity”11:25 “Human Evolution and Technology's Role”15:07 Lessons in Discomfort and Growth20:31 “Rights, Responsibilities, and Life's Journey”24:38 “Living and Serving with Dignity”27:52 “Maria's Insights & Subscription Info”29:27 Grateful AcknowledgmentDon't forget: If you want to connect, ask questions, or get notified about upcoming guests like Maria subscribe to the newsletter here.

I have in front of me my coffee mug. I know Maria, our guest today, has her coffee in front of her as well. So welcome to Maria Dolores. Maria is a global speaker, uh, she is a— the founder of the Human Contract Foundation, and we're going to get into what the Human Contract Foundation is She's the author of The Human Constitution, which I think is a really interesting and great document, and there will be links to that in the show notes so that you can access that and read it. And she was Ambassador for World Peace— that was, she was honored with that in 2023. And also only last year was given an honorary doctorate in humane letters, which I think is a brilliant achievement. So Maria, thank you for spending a few minutes with us and making some time in what I think must be a very, very busy life for you to come and spend a few minutes talking to us here at Five Questions Over Coffee.Maria Dolores [00:01:33]:Thank you, thank you, Stuart. I'm so happy to be here with you in the audience and to share about the Human Contract, the Human Constitution, and our rights and responsibilities. Thank you, thank you.Stuart Webb [00:01:47]:And we're really looking forward to hearing it. So, so tell me a little bit about— and we'll get into a little bit about the, the history behind it, but Who is it that you think— I mean, we're all human beings, we all have rights, but who is it you're trying to reach most at the moment with this contract, with the foundation that you're working with?Maria Dolores [00:02:08]:Yeah, so I help leaders to remember people's rights and responsibilities and to lessen hate, disrespect, and to increase Dignity and maturity. And I do this with the Human Constitution. The Human Constitution is 7 principles regarding our— to take a stand for our right, our birthrights, and that we all need to mature with these birthrights.Stuart Webb [00:02:41]:And, and tell us a little bit about those 7, if you like, to really get us into understanding how they fit.Maria Dolores [00:02:48]:Yes. Okay. So the 7 principles is based and derived from United Nations Declaration of the Universal Human Rights, but with rights, we should have responsibilities. Don't you think, Stuart?Stuart Webb [00:03:04]:Yeah, absolutely.Maria Dolores [00:03:06]:So these 7 principles, the first 3 is personal: body, emotion, and thought, that you are born with a right to your body. You're born with a right to the range of all your emotions and your thoughts. But we also have a responsibility to care for our body, our physical and mental health. So the first 3 principles is addressing our fundamental human needs as a, as a species and individually. And then the coming 3 is about power, communication, and life. That you have the right to your power, your personal power, and we also have a responsibility in how we act and interact with each other. And the fifth principle is about our communication, our freedom of speech and freedom of creativity, but also responsibility in what we say and what we create and to express and trying to express with dignity and trying to listen to each other. And so that's the fifth principle.Maria Dolores [00:04:18]:And the sixth out of the seven is our life, that you have the right to your life and you have a responsibility to respect others' way of life and other life forms, but never at the cost of any other. So, and I think we have a lot to do and a lot to mature here. Respecting— and so it also ties not only to United Nations Declaration of the Universal Human Rights, but it's also the 17 Global Goals. And then the last principle, the, the 7th principle, is about our collective rights and responsibilities. In Swedish, we call this civil courage, which is moral courage, and to to increase civil participation and to increase how we need— and we, yeah, we really need to collaborate more as a species. So that's the human constitution.Stuart Webb [00:05:22]:So can I just— I know the first 3, I can see how we get to sort of 6 and 7, how business owners, business leaders will see exactly they apply to their business. But the first 3, how do you help business owners, business leaders, people who are in charge of large organizations to understand the first 3? Because within a workspace, often we forget we have a responsibility. We forget ourselves. We work for a corporation. How do we manage that situation? How do you think we should?Maria Dolores [00:05:59]:Yeah. So Stuart, my, my background is with human resources and leadership. So I worked with 25 years and more with human resources and leadership. So I worked with everything from, you know, attracting strategies and recruiting and developing individual group organization and offboarding roles, offboarding groups and organization. And it's really addressing our physical mental health. It's when we get recruited and onboarded and to care for the individual and, and both the individual and the team and to develop our physical health understanding. So I was working in the Swedish steel industry and forest industry where we have people working in different schedules., you know, different times. I— for what, what do you call that? We call it shift.Maria Dolores [00:07:01]:They're working.Stuart Webb [00:07:02]:Shift is a good— yeah.Maria Dolores [00:07:06]:Okay. So, and that's also with the understanding of to have to really care about ourselves. And as leaders, you know, it's really the fundamentals of how to have a well-functioning leadership, but also a good functioning team is to truly care about the physical mental health. Burnout is because we don't acknowledge the early symptoms of burnout and not listen to ourselves. So it's really, really fundamental. Both for the leader and for, for the co-worker. And we also— to have— now, the human constitution is not about— I'm not telling anyone anything. I'm just simply taking a stand for our rights and our responsibilities.Maria Dolores [00:08:13]:And this is not religious, it's not party political, it's not even an ideology, but simply to take a stand for our rights and responsibilities. How you want to do that is up to you. Some, like for instance, so some people are smoking, right? And we know that's not really good for our health, but it's to leave the choice for the individual and that we all have both rights and responsibility for ourselves. And one another. So it's the choices that we make and to be more curious about our own emotions and our thoughts and to broaden perspectives and to be more curious and to mature with that.Stuart Webb [00:09:08]:And the maturity is such an important thing. And I know that we've just before we came on air, we discovered that today is your birthday. So very happy birthday, Maria, for, for today. Thank you. You talked a little bit about the fact that maturing is an important part of living.Maria Dolores [00:09:28]:Yeah, yeah. And you know, I'm sure you know also, Stewart, we have met the humans that are like 5 years old and who are very mature and very wise. And then we meet people who have lived most of their lives and who are very, you know, judgmental and, and locked in, in a narrow mindset and, yes, you know, immature, immature, really. So the human constitution is to encourage all humans, all 8 billion of us, to strive for maturity with more physical mental health, to lessen the drama, to increase and to broaden perspectives, to be more curious about ourselves and one another, and, and to mature in our relationships as well as we all need to mature as a species.Stuart Webb [00:10:34]:And that's a really interesting point.Maria Dolores [00:10:38]:Because.Stuart Webb [00:10:38]:Um, we often, we often, we often almost, uh, I wouldn't say throw away, but, but, but experience, uh, is not valued as much as it was, particularly in the Western world. Experience is often, uh, is often scorned in some respects, and yet it is an extremely valuable contribution. I mean, we, you, you look in the world of with nature. There are very few animals that keep grandparents around in order to help raise young people. Elephants is a great example, human beings and others. That's because of the huge experience those, those elders have and can bring and contribute. And we often don't see that as a, as a benefit.Maria Dolores [00:11:25]:Yeah. And what I also find, Stuart, is that we're, we're in a very privileged time in our human history right now. If we look back through our human history, the, the, um, here, there, the 300,000-year human history, and we have always had technology supporting and driving us to the next level and the next level. And, you know, 300,000 years ago, we lived in groups of 150 people, and then we grew in groups, became, becoming agricultural and having groups of 1,000, and then empires, and then various forms of democracies. And right now, we still have representation of people living, indigenous communities and nomads, in groups of 150. And we have small communities with agriculture living close to nature, various forms of empires, and various forms of democracies. So I think it's really essential, and the change that we are in right now, obviously, like you, the audience, and you, Stuart, that we are scattered all across the planet and we have this beautiful technology supporting us and connecting us. So we're standing very much in a nation-centric thinking and going to a global-local world.Maria Dolores [00:13:14]:And the shift going from this nation-centric thinking to the global-local world, and that shift is about embracing our history, embracing the potential of and the beauty of each cultural, the beauty of each region, the beauty of the Americanness, the beauty of the Britishness, the beauty of the Swedishness, and to embrace and to see that gemstone and that potential. For all of us to be proud, more proud and more mature of who we are, but also more curious about each other.Stuart Webb [00:14:04]:Yeah, I think that's a beautiful thought, Maria, because when the internet was first dreamt up, the concept of a global village was very prominent in those first internet pioneers. And we have lost a lot of that thinking because Social media now tends to drive us into tribes, and you meet with only the people that you want to hear the same voices from. And hearing different voices from around the world and recognizing and understanding different voices, I think, is a key element of being a human being. And I would encourage any any teacher, any, uh, any parent to teach your children not to just, uh, follow the crowd, but to, to think about what they're hearing and take from it the good and discard the bad. Because I think so often we fail to do that ourselves, don't.Maria Dolores [00:15:05]:We?Stuart Webb [00:15:07]:Yeah.Maria Dolores [00:15:07]:And, and also with discarding the— discarding the what you say bad, for me, that's also the lessons that we need to learn. Because usually whenever there is friction, whenever there is, you know, discomfort, there is also learning and a lesson in that. So the discomfort may be driven from an old belief, something we need to question. Or, you know, all the fear, anger, frustration, all the emotions that we carry, and more the dense emotion, there are lessons learned. And sometimes the lesson is to step away from, from a toxic situation, a toxic relationship, or a toxic workplace even, and, and to have and to increase our healthy boundaries, to have a healthy ego, to care for ourselves and our life in our relationships. So I see, I see this as very important lessons to learn.Stuart Webb [00:16:28]:I think that's lovely, and I think it also reminds us of those later principles that we also have responsibilities for the planet, don't we? We have responsibilities for those around us. It's not just ourselves, but we have to look after, the people around us. Because otherwise, how can we continue to look after ourselves if the planet is— if we don't look after the planet, if we don't look around, look around our neighbors and look after them, we have no way of being able to actually ensure that we are looking after ourselves, do we?Maria Dolores [00:16:57]:Yeah, yeah. And that's why I think the human constitution is, as you understand, it's not anything like top-down. It's not a decree. It's not a policy. It's simply an offering, and it's to be curious about ourselves, who we are. What is my right and what is my responsibility? Yes. How can I mature in this situation? How can I care better for myself? How can I show better care in my relationships and in, in this preconditions that I have? And how can we better collaborate? You know, to, to bring up a, a heavy topic, um, we have 45 million slaves in the world today. 45 million slaves.Maria Dolores [00:17:55]:We have never had as many slaves in the world through our human history. Yet we have never had as few in percentage. So I think the change needs to be both from within and in the community, because if we have 45 million slaves, then we have about half a billion people working and trading around this. So the change needs to come from within and within the community and the pressure and the support from all of us saying, we're not accepting this anymore. This is not okay. And that's the 6th and the 7th principle reminding us about who we are and who we.Stuart Webb [00:18:49]:Can be. I was going to ask you as my 3rd question, I know we've been talking for a while over 1 or 2, but my 3rd question is, is there one, and I I would just at this point invite any of the people who are either watching or listening on the recording, if you have questions that you want to pose to Maria, we will have available show notes that will enable you to sort of follow and understand where Maria posts a lot of her talks and where she works. So please reach out, ask Maria questions. Is there one thing, one tip that you would like to sort of get? If somebody wants to remember nothing else from what you've said, what is the one thing you want want them to take.Maria Dolores [00:19:34]:Away today? I, I want to say that your ideas matter, and your ideas can change the world. Your change within can change the world. And to, to listen to what would be my rights here and what would be.Stuart Webb [00:20:00]:My responsibilities. Maria, my fourth question is around how you got to this place where you are at the moment. This is not something that you just sort of sit one evening and sort of realize that you need to document these 7 principles. This is the work of somebody who's thought deeply and come to realize it. So how did you come to understand these 7 principles? What was the journey? And please don't feel you need to go into every detail, but give us a flavor of exactly how you came.Maria Dolores [00:20:31]:To where you are today. Yeah, so, um, uh, it's true, I have been working on this for decades. Um, 10 years ago I published my book, uh, State of Grace: Human Rights and Human Obligations. So that was when I first published and started to talk about our rights and responsibilities Obviously, you know, no thoughts come just out of nothing. Everything is building on everything, I would say. And so in conversations with my friends, but also being a woman born and raised in Sweden, studying psychology, my major in sociology, philosophy, working with human resources and leadership and to see the need and also the human history, which I described earlier, and to see the breaking point of where we are today and the potential of the beautiful technology we have, but also the lack of the fundamentals that could support humans and humanity forward, which is really the, the core of our rights and responsibilities. It's about life here and now. And I, you know, personally experienced grief, and my mother died in 2015, experienced extreme fear, and my ex-husband was stalking me in, in our divorce, and but also the freedom and insights of life and how life is evolving, and to see other aspects of life.Maria Dolores [00:22:31]:And I've done over the years, I've done over 160 days of meditation. So it's both reading and growing up in a society where we have had 200 years of peace, but also seeing myself and my own lessons and humanity as a whole and my love really for people. Seeing people and in all different situations.Stuart Webb [00:23:15]:Wow. Gosh, wow. That's a, that's a story, and I'm sure there's another book in there as well somehow. Maria, I realize I've taken up a lot of your time. As I said, I welcome comments, questions from people watching and listening at the moment because I think you have a wealth of experience to offer to us. If you've got questions about, you know, how do you apply some of this in your business, if you've got questions about how you apply some of this in your own personal life, there are some resources that we'll point you to. And Maria's just an open person. I know that she will love to engage and talk with you.Stuart Webb [00:23:57]:But there must be one question at the moment, Maria, you're thinking, he hasn't asked me the one truly killer question, and he's gonna do it any minute now. Well, I admit I never ever know what the killer question is, so therefore I ask you, what is the question that I should have asked you? And please, once you've explained the question, you need to answer it for us because you're the expert. So what is that killer question, the final question that I really should have.Maria Dolores [00:24:24]:Asked and I haven't yet? Thank you. My core value is dignity, and so the question would be, so what.Stuart Webb [00:24:35]:Is dignity? What a great question.Maria Dolores [00:24:38]:And dignity for me is when you have the crown on your head. You are the king, you are the queen in your life, and you have the crown on and you treat yourself with dignity and grace, but also to see others as their king and their queen in their life. And I, I worked with dignity in— while helping my friend in her funeral business and casketing 3,000 people, seeing all religions— Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, and secular sermons. So all the major religions. And also attending 1,500 funerals and with dignity to see and to acknowledge that we have both rights and responsibility for all our emotions and to be who we are in that moment in grief, but also the potential of broadening perspectives. For ourselves and one another.Stuart Webb [00:25:58]:So dignity. So how do you see, because I often spend a lot of my time thinking about people who have very little self-worth. They don't have enough of an understanding of how they fit into the world. How do I describe this? Self-worth for me is being able to walk down the street and not necessarily feeling as though you own the street, because I don't think that's the right thing, but you don't care who owns the street. You walk down the street not worrying about anything else around you. Do you see that as a form of dignity? Do you see dignity as related to.Maria Dolores [00:26:36]:That in some way? Yeah, and that's for me dignity and integrity is like a brother and sister. But yeah, dignity, you know, if you feel like You own the street. You know, it's— I think that's a good way to express it. But you don't own the street at the expense of others. No. It's to hold that, to imagine like you're in a protective bubble or, you know, an integrity bubble and with mutual respect. And you have steward, you have that crown on your head, and you are the pride, but not the oppression.Stuart Webb [00:27:29]:So if I can summarize it, you walk down the street, but you don't care who owns the street. As far as you're concerned, you have the right, you have the responsibility to act in a way which is with with compassion, but you walk down the street because that's where you need to be, and you just know that's where.Maria Dolores [00:27:49]:You need to be.Stuart Webb [00:27:52]:Yeah. And I think with that, Maria, I have to thank you for such a fascinating, uh, discussion. Um, uh, for those of you watching and listening, uh, Maria is a, is a, is a fantastic person to follow on LinkedIn and on her various social medias.

In part 2 of our series on higher education, Barry asks what happens when the university starts losing some of the historic pillars that once made it a university: freedom of speech, intellectual freedom in the classroom, and independence in the boardroom. Somewhere between culture wars, workforce expectations, and institutional identity crises, he asks whether […]

We hear often that freedom of speech is under threat. And it's easy to feel like things have never been worse in that regard. But is that really true? Dinaw Mengestu, an acclaimed novelist, MacArthur Genius grant recipient, and president of PEN America, joins host Zachary Karabell to examine the true state of free speech in the United States and abroad. Mengestu shares his personal journey of immigrating to the United States from Ethiopia in the early 1980s, and how his childhood shapes his view of the topic and his feeling of belonging in America and the world. Mengestu and Karabell also explore whether the current climate of government pressure and self censorship is a unique historical crisis or simply part of a long standing oscillation in American culture. While advocating for the protection of all speech, Mengestu highlights the very real fears felt by vulnerable populations, especially immigrants facing modern government scrutiny. And In the end both Karabell and Mengestu give their grade of how we are doing as a nation when it comes to the freedom to express ourselves.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I welcome my friend Beck Ravenswood to the show - witch, tarot reader, and owner of The Serpent's Key Shoppe in Hanover, PA.Beck shares the story of discovering tarot as a teenager, receiving the dream that helped inspire The Serpent's Key, and creating a thriving, interfaith community space devoted to magic, education, and connection.We also discuss the legal fight that has placed Beck and their shop at the center of a much larger conversation about divination, religious practice, freedom of speech, and Pennsylvania's archaic fortune-telling law. Before Beck's shop had even officially opened, Hanover police warned them that offering paid tarot readings could violate a statute dating back to the nineteenth century. Beck is now challenging that law through an ongoing lawsuit, while Pennsylvania House Bill 1562 seeks to repeal it.Along the way, we talk about the difference between fraud and legitimate divinatory practice, ethical tarot reading, building real-world Pagan community, interfaith dialogue, and the courage required to live openly and authentically. (And of course, we aren't lawyers, and are not qualified to offer any legal advice.)---A Note on Civic EngagementWe believe there is tremendous value in learning who represents us locally and taking part in respectful civic dialogue around issues that matter to us and our neighbors. That does not require everyone has to agree about politics, religion, or spiritual practices. It means communicating respectfully, and remembering that we all share communities with people whose backgrounds and beliefs may differ from our own.If these issue matter to you, please consider contacting your representatives. Pennsylvania residents can ask their state legislators to support HB 1562 and the repeal of Section 7104. Listeners outside Pennsylvania can still contact their own representatives, share information about the issue, and encourage dialogue with their Pennsylvania colleagues. It can really make a difference!---Learn About the Law and HB 1562- Official Pennsylvania General Assembly page for HB 1562:https://www.palegis.us/legislation/bills/2025/hb1562- HB 1562 co-sponsorship memo and explanation:https://www.palegis.us/house/co-sponsorship/memo?memoID=46755- Find your legislators anywhere in the United States:https://pluralpolicy.com/find-your-legislator/- Vote Smart — information about elected officials:https://justfacts.votesmart.org/---Find Beck and The Serpent's KeyBeck Ravenswood on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the_stitching_witch/The Serpent's Key on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the_serpents_key/The Serpent's Key site:https://serpentskeyshoppe.com/---Upcoming: Free Diviner's Path WorkshopReading the Signs: Divination as a Living ConversationSunday, June 21, 2026 - 12:30–1:30 p.m. EST - Live on ZoomRegister here:https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_COYP44E8SHSAuvvLYy2-gQ---More Upcoming Events:July 27, 2026:Workshop at the Atlantis Bookshop in LondonAugust 15, 2026:Official Diviner's Path book launch at The Serpent's Key---Support Coffee and DivinationA special thank-you to Kas, our newest Patreon supporter!

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files, its blackmail, the political implications of Charlie Kirk's assassination, and the growing conflict between Israel and Iran. We'll also talk about the influence of powerful Israeli interests on American foreign policy and ask whether the United States is being drawn into another Middle Eastern war against the will of its own citizens (and at our cost, yet again).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Today on The Amber May Show, we are covering the stories that reveal the fight for America's soul. We start in Arizona, where a deadly officer-involved shooting in Surprise reminds us how quickly a domestic violence call can turn into a tragedy. Law enforcement walks into danger every day, and public safety should never be treated like a political football. Then we turn to Major League Baseball, where players are facing backlash after reportedly writing Bible verses on Pride night caps. Florida's attorney general is now investigating, and Senator Josh Hawley is raising serious concerns about religious discrimination. The question is simple. Why is every message allowed except a Christian one? We will also talk about Dana White revealing multiple threats tied to the White House UFC event. When patriotism, sports, and a celebration of America become targets, it tells us exactly how deep the hatred for this country has become. But there is also a beautiful reminder of what America still means. World Cup fans visiting the United States are going viral because they are falling in love with our country. They see the freedom, energy, and opportunity that too many activists here have been taught to resent. Plus, Gavin Newsom and his wife are reportedly facing DOJ scrutiny, raising new questions about political power, accountability, and the leaders who love to lecture the rest of us. This episode is about faith, freedom, public safety, patriotism, and the battle between those who still believe in America and those who want to tear her down.

In Congress, 59 years of silence is ended about Israel’s deadly attack on the U.S.S. Liberty, which killed 34 servicemembers and wounded another 174. We hear from Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. And there is a victory for both free speech and the Free Palestine student movement that blossomed at Columbia University. Plus headlines on Iran, U.S. domestic news and DC news, including a picket protest by Aramark workers, the DC primary, the DC budget, and the opening of the DC Liberation Center. And more. Correction: an early version of ths show misstated the number of wounded on the U.S. Liberty, 174 were wounded.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

On today's show, Scoot Rouses is expanding to Chalmette. A grocery store opening might not sound like major news, but the right store can change the rhythm of a neighborhood. How many stores do you go to each week to get everything you need? CBS News fired veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley following a heated staff meeting where he directly confronted the program's new leadership. After the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, some people posted comments that were tasteless or offensive but still protected by the First Amendment. Lawsuit settlements for people punished over those comments have now reportedly topped $1.5 million. Do we agree that even ugly speech is still protected speech? Black Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson is facing backlash after shutting down a crowd chanting “USA! USA!” during a concert. Some fans booed, and some walked out. What did he say—and was he out of line? Senator Ted Cruz pushed back against Republican Representative Andy Ogles, who had posted, "Homosexuality has no place in America." Cruz, responding to the statement, told reporters, "For all of recorded history, homosexuals have been part of humanity," adding, "I'm quite libertarian by nature." I think the behavior of consenting adults is their business."

The White House's pressure campaign against critics keeps raising serious questions about free speech in America. Is freedom of speech really under attack right now, and are we doing enough to protect it when the target is someone we don't like? 

Who do media organisations go to when they get sued? In today's Media Confidential, Alan and Lionel talk to Gavin Millar KC, an expert in media law. The three talk about SLAPPs, strategic lawsuits increasingly used by the powerful to silence journalists and stop crucial reporting. They discuss why the fight against SLAPPs is vital for democracy: after suggestions that a Labour government would reform the law, why has progress been so slow? They also compare existing UK libel laws with those in the US and Canada and reflect on a few of the most high-profile cases of their careers.Plus, Gavin weighs in on the case between Donald Trump and the BBC.

Did Kevin Hart's roast go too far, or are people becoming too sensitive?In this episode of the Talk My Credo Podcast, the crew breaks down the backlash surrounding Kevin Hart's roast, the debate over racial humor in comedy, and whether certain jokes should still be acceptable in today's culture.The conversation quickly expands into a larger discussion about comedy, race, free expression, and how public figures navigate criticism.We also discuss:

The people melting down over Jaxson Dart introducing a president are the same emotional hall monitors who spent years telling America that dissent was sacred when Colin Kaepernick took a knee.I disagreed with most of what Kaepernick said. I thought parts of it were naive, performative, and unfair to law enforcement officers who actually walk into the fire every day while the keyboard revolutionaries post black squares from climate-controlled apartments. But I still defended his right to do it because that is the damn point of the First Amendment.Freedom of speech does not mean “approved speech from approved people on approved networks.” That's not liberty. That's corporate HR with a rainbow logo and a superiority complex.Now a quarterback introduces a president and suddenly the same crowd starts clutching pearls like the Republic is collapsing because somebody shook hands with orange Voldemort on camera. Spare me. You either believe adults can speak freely in public or you don't. The standard cannot change because the jersey switched teams.The funniest part is the same people who told us kneeling during the National Anthem was “a courageous conversation” now think introducing a president is violence adjacent. America has become a theater production where every extra thinks they're the main character and every disagreement is treated like DEFCON 1 by people whose greatest hardship is low Wi-Fi bars at Starbucks.Sometimes the most American thing you can do is let somebody say something you hate and not demand they be digitally waterboarded for it afterward.That is the difference between liberty and ideological narcotics.And if a grown adult cannot emotionally survive a quarterback introducing a politician, then maybe the problem is not democracy. Maybe the problem is a generation raised to believe disagreement itself is oppression.Freedom is messy. Always has been.You know, George Washington literally had newspapers calling him a tyrant while building the country?Yeah, George Washington didn't demand emotional safe spaces. He crossed an icy river with farmers and literal psychopaths because freedom requires tolerance for friction, not just applause for your own tribe.Some of you would not survive a Thanksgiving dinner in 1997 without filing an HR complaint against your uncle and demanding grandma deplatform the turkey. Gobble freaking Gobble! See less

Jaxson Dart's Trump appearance created a real Giants debate: was this simply a player exercising his freedom, or did a young quarterback create unnecessary locker-room noise before he has fully proven himself on the field?Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Did Jaxson Dart create a real Giants leadership issue? Maybe, but only if the noise lingers. Abdul Carter reacted publicly, Jermaine Eluemunor pushed back by saying the locker room is fine, and Carter later said he and “JD6” spoke as men. That makes this less about a broken locker room and more about the risk of a young quarterback stepping into a polarizing public moment before he has banked enough NFL credibility.Drew and Rob open the show by making one thing clear: this is not about telling Giants fans what to believe politically. The football question is whether Dart's appearance created avoidable pressure inside the fanbase, inside the media cycle, and potentially inside the locker room. They discuss Dart introducing Donald Trump at Rockland Community College, Trump calling him a “future Hall of Famer,” Abdul Carter posting “thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man,” and Carter later saying he and Dart are good.Tension Question: Should Abdul Carter have kept it private? The guys argue that regardless of where anyone lands politically, Carter made the story bigger by taking his reaction public. They praise Jermaine Eluemunor for trying to put the fire out with “Locker Room is fine. Focus on New England” and “Relax Pat,” while also discussing Lawrence Tynes calling the locker room a sacred place and criticizing public teammate callouts.The show also gets into the business and leadership side of the story. Drew and Rob talk about whether politics should stay out of sports, why athletes still have the same freedom of speech as everyone else, and why that freedom can still come with marketing risk — especially in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut Giants market. They also compare the reaction to past political visibility around major NFL figures and ask whether this only matters because Trump is uniquely polarizing and Giants news is slow.Tension Question: Is this a real football problem or just May noise? The strongest public evidence points to the players trying to move past it quickly. Carter said he and Dart spoke, and Eluemunor publicly rejected the idea that the locker room was divided. That does not mean the moment was risk-free, but it does mean the “locker room destroyed” version of the story looks overblown.After the Dart/Carter debate, the guys shift to Roy Robertson-Harris suffering a torn Achilles during practice, making him another Giants player lost to an Achilles injury after UDFA Thaddeus Dixon earlier in the month. They discuss what that means for defensive line depth and why the Giants may now need to re-evaluate the back end of that position group.The episode also covers Lawrence Taylor's health update after his pancreatitis hospitalization, including the report that he is feeling better and back on the golf course. Then Drew and Rob close with Darnell Mooney's press conference comments, including his statement that his role is to “make plays and dominate,” his familiarity with Matt Nagy, and why the expanded Giants playbook could reflect the influence of John Harbaugh, Brian Callahan, and Greg Roman.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Anyone tuning into Fox News last week might think the channel had converted to a home shopping network that sold only one product - the glorious leader himself Donald J. Trump.The president was treated like an overpriced trinket. “Look at how he stands next to Xi Jinping. Observe how his tiny makeup covered hands touch the Chinese leader's! Such majesty!”It wouldn't have surprised me if Fox shifted to a sales pitch while discussing the president, “If you call right now, you too will get our exclusive offer and pay for your own Glorious Leader replicate in four easy to pay installments of $19.99!”There were no definitive trade deals to crow about, no negotiations with Iran, and no relief in sight for sky-high gas prices.Trump dined with and stood next to the Chinese president while a small group of billionaire business owners followed them around like dutiful ducklings.China is known for making promises it doesn't keep, stealing intellectual property, threatening its neighbors, committing human rights abuses, cheating on trade agreements, suppressing freedom of speech, crushing dissent, and violating international embargoes and sanctions.None of this seemed to bother Trump. If Xi Jinping promised to buy more U.S. soybeans, then that was good enough for the president even if the country has still not matched its prior commitments to U.S. farmers.It was a lot of pageantry with very little substance, another distraction for Trump's disastrous war in the Middle East and failed domestic policies.Other topics on the network included the ongoing war with Iran, an attack on Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the network's aggressive promotion of Spencer Pratt, a former reality television star, for Los Angeles mayor.

It's Thursday, May 21st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Finnish member of Parliament appeals religious liberty ruling A Finnish member of Parliament is appealing her religious freedom case to the European Court of Human Rights.  Finland's Supreme Court convicted Päivi Räsänen of hate speech in March. Her offense was writing a pamphlet about biblical sexuality 20 years ago. Alliance Defending Freedom International announced this month that she is making a final appeal in her case.  Räsänen commented, “The failure of the Finnish Supreme Court to uphold freedom of speech has set a dangerous precedent in my country and across Europe. ... I know I am not alone in facing unjust persecution under ‘hate speech' laws that make sharing Christian beliefs a criminal offense.”  French legislature rejects legalization of suicide French lawmakers rejected a bill to legalize assisted suicide last week.  The measure would even impose prison terms and heavy fines on people deemed to be obstructing access to assisted suicide.  Bruno Retailleau leads the conservative Les Républicains Party in France. The lawmaker argued against the bill, saying, “We cannot support a text that, in the name of a misguided progressivism, risks sacrificing the most vulnerable among us to the cold logic of budgetary constraints and legal precedents.” Franklin Graham preached to 30,000 people in Belarus On May 16th, Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with over 30,000 people in Minsk, Belarus which is located in Eastern Europe with Russia to the east, Ukraine to the south and Poland to the west. Listen. GRAHAM: “Lying is a sin. We have all have lied. So, we're sinners. We've broken God's laws. We're under a judgment. We're under a death sentence. The wages of sin is death.” Indeed, Romans 6:23 declares, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (You can watch his sermon through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com) It was reportedly the largest Evangelical event ever in the Eastern European country. Hundreds of people turned to Christ during the event. Graham wrote about one unique conversion story. He said, “One man shared that he had planned to end his life last Tuesday, but was not successful. He came tonight, heard the Gospel, and found true hope by putting his faith and trust in Christ.” John 3:17 says, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.” Secretary of State Rubio blames Cuban problems on Communism Yesterday was Cuban Independence Day. It's the 124th anniversary of the birth of the Republic of Cuba. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio marked the day by sharing a Spanish-language video message with the people of Cuba.  RUBIO: “The reason you are forced to survive 22 hours a day without electricity is not due to an oil ‘blockade' by the U.S. As you know, better than anyone, you have been suffering from blackouts for years. The real reason you don't have electricity, fuel, or food is because those who control your country have plundered billions of dollars, but nothing has been used to help the people. “Thirty years ago, Raúl Castro founded a company called GAESA. This company is owned and operated by the Armed Forces, and has revenues three times greater than your current government's budget. Today, while you suffer, these businessmen have $18 billion dollars in assets and control 70% of Cuba's economy.” Rubio blamed the country's economic hardship on its communist leadership. He stated, “President Trump is offering a new relationship between the U.S. and Cuba. … First, we are offering $100 million dollars in food and medicine for you, the people. But they must be distributed directly to the Cuban people by the Catholic Church or other trusted charitable groups. Not stolen by [government-run businesses] to sell in one of their stores.” Trump's endorsement defeats Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky In the United States, Republican Trump-backed candidates won their primaries on Tuesday.  Most notably, U.S. House candidate Ed Gallrein won a primary in Kentucky against Rep. Thomas Massie. Gallrein won 54.9 percent to 45.1 percent. Massie was an outspoken critic of some of President Trump's actions like the war with Iran.  The race cost $32 million, making it the most expensive contest for the U.S. House of Representatives in history.  U.S. parents more likely to identify as Christian than non-parents The American Bible Society released the second chapter of its report, “State of the Bible: USA 2026.” The survey evaluated parenting and faith. Notably, Gen Z and Millennial parents are much more likely to identify as Christians than people their age who are not parents. Over 60 percent of parents from the younger generations call themselves Christians. Meanwhile, less than 50 percent of non-parents do the same.   Among parents, 29 percent pray with their children regularly and 14 percent read the Bible with them regularly. Those numbers more than doubled among parents who are practicing Christians.  Bibles for the World will distribute 1.4 million copies of John And finally, Bibles For The World hopes to distribute 1.4 million copies of the Gospel of John this coming Saturday.  The global evangelism effort will span over 20 countries on Pentecost Saturday, May 23.  John Pudaite, the president of Bibles for the World, told the Christian News Wire, “It is record-breaking in that it's the single largest provision of Scripture in history for a one-day evangelistic event.” Romans 10:15 says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 21st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Salazar, an 8–1 ruling affirming that professionals have First Amendment protections when speaking with willing clients about health, wellness, lifestyle, and personal improvement.

A retired police officer who posted a meme mocking President Trump after the murder of Charlie Kirk has reportedly won a major settlement after he was sentenced to jail over the post. Is this a victory for freedom of speech, even when the speech is ugly, offensive, or badly timed? An American doctor contracted the deadly Ebola virus while overseas, as the virus continues spreading in parts of Africa. He is not in the United States, but does a story like this make you worry about Ebola reaching America, or do you trust that public health officials can keep it contained? President Trump's poll numbers on the economy have hit a record-breaking low. How much do you blame the president for inflation, and how much do you think any president actually controls the cost of living? In 1965, TIME magazine published an article arguing that rock 'n' roll was not just a fad but a powerful cultural force. More than 60 years later, rock music is still with us. Why do you think rock 'n' roll lasted, and what does it have that other musical trends don't?

This is the sixth in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  The hunt for Bin Laden cools after he managed to escape US forces in Tora Bora, but that doesn't stop America from expanding the War on Terror.  Beyond an endless war against an impossible to defeat idea, the conflict tested America's core ideas:  Freedom of Speech, Freedom from Torture, Due Process and extrajudicial killings.  The war in Afghanistan, the War in Iraq, and the Presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama are each discussed in detail.  Contact the show at resourcesbylowery@gmail.com or on Bluesky @EmpiresPod If you would like to financially support the show, please use the following paypal link.

This episode features Simon Tam of The Slants and Prof. Erik Nielson, co-author of “Rap on Trial,” who both have been instrumental in combating First Amendment right violations against minority musicians. Simon's fight to get his all-Asian band the right to their name saw thousands of pages of evidence denied, along with a footnote stating that – had they been Caucasian – there'd be no issue. Erik has researched how the Rap genre is singled out, identifying 800+ documented legal cases using Rap lyrics as evidence against young men of color. Hear from the pair on the results of their efforts, along with their concerns about freedom of speech in general.

On this week's episode of TheFallenState TV, host Jesse Lee Peterson is joined by Tommy Robinson—He is a journalist and political activist from the U.K. Tommy joins Jesse for a raw and unfiltered conversation about politics, immigration, censorship, and freedom of speech. He opens up about his rise to prominence, the legal battles and public backlash he’s faced, and why he continues speaking out despite intense criticism and pressure. He and Jesse dive into the state of the West, the role of the media, faith, nationalism, and the growing divide between ordinary citizens and political elites. It’s a fiery, no-holds-barred discussion packed with strong opinions, personal stories, and provocative moments you won’t want to miss.

A 16-year-old student, Marco Hunter-Lopez, was admonished by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) for showing concern that a Muslim group showed up uninvited to a school event to hand out Qurans. Glenn speaks to Marco about the interaction, what he felt in the moment, and the change he hopes will come from this. Glenn reveals that if he goes through with his speech at the Unite the Kingdom rally, he was warned that he would never be allowed to enter the U.K. again. Glenn speaks on the importance of freedom of speech and how a country will fall if it tries to stifle ideas through speech. Independent journalist Tommy Robinson joins to discuss how U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is doing everything he can to stop Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally. American Freedom Alliance fellow Peter Mcilvenna joins to theorize what the U.K. will look like 10 years from now if it continues down this dangerous path. Rebel News founder Ezra Levant joins to discuss how his news company is suing U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer for banning two of its journalists from entering the U.K. to keep them from attending Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally. Glenn speaks on how far the U.K. has fallen as a country.  Learn more about your ad choices.

There are things that distinguish MAGA for me, and support of Trump is one.The second involves two things: First, you must believe that the 2020 election was stolen and voter fraud is real. Second, you must believe that J6 was contrived by Democrats.What is our belief system? I saw article that I want to discuss and like the panic happening in CA in the governor's race, and possibly for LA mayor. But a bigger issue is looming, and one that would collapse the Democrat at their core.And it involves two lies they have promoted for over a decade. First, about the election of 2020 and that of J6.And these lies come down to a fundamental question of belief systems. There are moments in history when a country argues over taxes, budgets, or foreign policy. Then there are moments when a country argues over reality itself. America has entered the second category. We aren't simply debating policies anymore. We are debating first principles, foundational truths, and whether this nation is fundamentally a Constitutional Republic or just a giant emotional suggestion box with Wi-Fi.

I don't enjoy writing about this shit. I don't enjoy getting called a Nazi by state-funded shills all day. I didn't ask to spend years watching a live-streamed genocide perpetrated right in front of my eyes with the facilitation of my own government. I didn't choose to live in a world where Israel's actions directly affect me and my country. I never invited the Israel lobby to attack my freedom of speech by trying to outlaw criticism of a genocidal apartheid state. It was never my decision to live in an information ecosystem where pro-Israel propagandists are constantly trying to deceive me about what's going on in my world and manipulate the thoughts in my head. Those things were imposed upon me. Reading by Tim Foley.

Ask David: Help! Relentless Anger! Nothing Works! Is Freedom of Speech a "Need?" Hosts: Kevin Cornelius, LMFT Dr. David Burns Guest: Dr. Rhonda Barovsky Today I am thrilled to be working with our new host for the Feeling Good Podcast, Mr. Kevin Cornelius, a dear friend and brilliant therapist who works as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at the Feeling Good Institute in Mt. View, California. Today, Keven starts a multi-podcast trial as our new host to find out how he likes the new position, and how you, are audience feel. It will be hard for anyone to fill Rhonda's shoes, of course, but Kevin brings his own combination of warmth, charm, and brilliance to the show. I hope you like the new show! Let us know what you think! Today, we address three questions: Question #1: How do you deal with a "relentlessly angry" patient who does not respond to the five secrets of effective communication? Question #2: How can I deal with a patient who may have been triggered by my phone call when I had to change l a scheduled session? Question #3: Zach asks if freedom of speech is a "want" or a "need." Hi David and Kevin: I have cleared my schedule so I can be there to support Kevin in his first podcast,. I have two questions for the Ask David podcast: 1.) How do you handle a "relentlessly angry" patient? By that I mean, one of your patient's is upset with you, you respond with a skillful 5-secrets response and yet they continue being angry with you, even screaming at you for 30 minutes. David's comment: The discussion of this excellent question got a little heated, as David pointed out that in his experience, when people say "I tried the Five Secrets and it didn't work," 100% of the time they did not actually do a skillful job with the Five Secrets. David asked for the familiar format: What is ONE thing the (angry) patient said, and what, EXACTLY, did you say next? Put this on a Relationship Journal and you will be able to spot your errors right away. David reports that this format does tend to anger people who don't want to have to examine their own role in a relationship problem. The idea that they may have botched the Five Secrets appears to be deeply disturbing, hence the heated discussion today. 2.) How do you handle what is happening "in the here and now" immediate moment, the here and now, with your patient? For example, I had to change an appointment with a patient, she became really angry, and then cancelled her next appointment. One of my colleagues suggested that my patient might have felt triggered when I cancelled the appointment. My colleague suggested I talk to her about what happened when I asked her to change the appointment because if she felt abandoned by me she might have the same experience with other people. How would I bring up what is happening in our relationship with my patient, that they may also experience in other relationships? I could probably think of a few more, Rhonda 3) Dear Dr. Burns, Hello. I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to ask you a question that has been on my mind. You have mentioned before that freedom of speech is an important part of your value system. I'm curious about how you would frame it psychologically: do you see freedom of speech more as a want, or as a need? Relatedly, for people living in non-democratic countries, do you think it is still possible to achieve a high level of happiness without freedom of speech? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts when you have the time. Thank you very much for your work and for sharing your perspectives. Warm regards, Zack David's Comment: This led to a lively discussion and a consensus on our panel today. We decided that freedom of speech is a great thing, and a strong want, but not a "need." David added: "I am certain that you can find happiness by focusing on the things most important to you, but no one can be happy all the time. We desperately WANT, but definitely do not NEED, freedom of speech. Of course, you can say, "we need it to have a fully functioning democracy," and that is true, but it true by definition. Kevin, Rhonda, and David thank you for listening today. Again, let us know what you think!

The conversation goes deep on the trade-offs of universal healthcare, the cautionary tale of government-run systems like Canada's, and why the real path to free healthcare isn't legislation — it's AI, robotics, and the kind of relentless innovation that only a free market can produce. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode will challenge the assumptions underneath your healthcare opinions and force you to confront the uncomfortable economics driving one of America's most urgent crises. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani claims the city has inherited a historic budget deficit and that there's no path to balance without raising taxes on the wealthy. But is that true? Tom Bilyeu breaks down the numbers behind NYC's so-called fiscal crisis — including the $15 billion spending claim that doesn't hold up to scrutiny, the budget plan from Mamdani's own Democratic ally that he rejected the same day it was released, and why NYC is outspending the entire state of Florida with a third of the population. If you want to understand how politicians use economic language to manipulate public opinion, this is the breakdown you need. Tom and Drew react to one of the most controversial legal moves of the political moment: the DOJ's decision to charge former FBI Director James Comey with two felony counts over an X post featuring seashells arranged to display "8647." Facing up to 20 years in prison, the case raises urgent questions about where free speech ends and criminal threat begins — and whether the Trump administration is about to make a massive strategic blunder. Tom makes his position clear: this is government overreach, plain and simple. When a reasonable person reads "86" as "remove from office" rather than a call for violence, prosecuting someone over that interpretation isn't justice — it's a chilling shot across the bow aimed at political speech itself. The same logic applies to the FCC's investigation into Jimmy Kimmel's Melania "expectant widow" joke: prosecuting ambiguous political humor sets a precedent that will outlast any single administration. This conversation gets into the real cost of freedom of speech — the uncomfortable truth that protecting it sometimes means protecting things you find reprehensible. Tom also takes aim at the UK's recent wave of arrests over social media posts, calling it a preview of what happens when governments decide they get to define what speech is acceptable.
