Free speech has become one of the most contentious issues in American politics, but what does it actually mean today? On the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer sits down with conservative legal scholar Ilya Shapiro of the Manhattan Institute and New York Times free speech reporter Jeremy Peters. They discuss how free expression is being defined—and challenged—on university campuses and by the Trump administration, particularly when it comes to national immigration policy. “The dynamic of ‘free speech for me but not for thee' is prevalent,” Shapiro warns, pointing to inconsistent enforcement of campus speech rules and a broader “illiberalism” taking hold in higher education.The conversation turns to the Trump administration's aggressive response to Israel/Gaza protests, including efforts to penalize non-citizen students for their political speech. Peters cautions that this approach may violate the very rights the administration claims to defend. “Rather than execute a clean policy to support free speech,” he says, “they're using blunt force to try to deport people who didn't do anything terribly wrong.” The potential legal battles ahead could determine how far the government can go in defining speech as a national security issue—especially for non-citizens.Both guests acknowledge that antisemitism on campus has become a flashpoint, but differ on how it's being addressed. Shapiro argues that while not all anti-Israel sentiment is antisemitic, many protesters are crossing that line: “It's possible to be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, but it's very rare in my experience.” Peters agrees the issue is complex and evolving, noting that universities “seem much more focused on preventing antisemitism than they were just a year ago.” Together, the guests raise urgent questions about the balance between expression, identity, and institutional responsibility in a sharply divided political landscape.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Ilya Shapiro & Jeremy Peters Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Today's disagreement is about college campus detentions, due process, and free speech.We focus on the two most high-profile cases: Mahmoud Khalil: a green card holder, legal resident, and graduate student at Columbia University who had a leadership role within CUAD, which stands for Columbia University Apartheid Divest; and Rümeysa Öztürk: a graduate student at Tufts University who is a student visa holder. She co-authored an op-ed in the campus newspaper supporting a resolution to divest from Israel. We also briefly touch on the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case and President Bukele's recent visit to the oval office.Is there a legal basis for these deportations and what are the implications for free speech and due process? What does it mean to be an American? What kind of country do we want to live in? Are these deportations “good for the Jews”?Graeme Wood is a staff writer for The Atlantic and a lecturer in political science at Yale University, where he has taught since 2014. Graeme has been a Press Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and a fellow at the United States Naval Academy.Ilya Shapiro is a senior fellow and director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute.

Donald Trump is knocking down the federal government's diversity, equity and inclusion structure, but how to tackle its wider presence in America? On this episode of All Things, Supreme Court expert and Manhattan Institute senior fellow Ilya Shapiro recounts his own battle with the DEI mob during his time at Georgetown Law School, and explains his particular worry that DEI in legal education is warping the future "gatekeepers" of our institutions. He discusses DEI's problematic ideology, and explains how a teeming bureaucracy of "non teaching" administrators, as well as "spineless" university deans and presidents, embolden a culture of activism on campus. How are Trump's actions turning the tide, and what more can donors, judges, companies and Americans do to turn the tide? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
