    …but is he a Zionist? Because the way he handled the students’ protests and how obnoxious he was when he interviewed those brave and upstanding pro-palestinian students makes me think he is.

  • Disappointing

    So disappointed in todays show about the targeted attack on World Central Kitchen. Seldom heard such nonsense as the Ha-Aretz journalist saying: oh no, IDF didn’t kill them on purpose - why would they, they will just have to feed the Palestinians themselves now. OBVIOUSLY keeping Palestinian civilians safe and fed has not been a concern of the Israeli government at all - in fact they have been starving them purposefully! And this complete hair brain statement was left standing without a respons... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Everyone A Hypocrite About Free Speech?
Q: What was that executive order and why did you bring it up in your op-ed?
Lukianoff discusses Trump's executive order that supported free speech by preventing the government from censoring social media, but notes disappointment at the subsequent actions of his administration against free speech.
Is Everyone A Hypocrite About Free Speech?
Q: Could you tell us though, I was a little skeptical of those numbers when I read them in your report, like really a third of college students would say violence is acceptable to quash political speech?
Lukianoff explains that the survey asked students if violence is acceptable in response to speakers, and any answer other than 'never' suggests they find it acceptable in some circumstances.
Teachers' Union Head On Education As A Tool Against Fascism
Q: What do current critiques of public education reflect about politics?
They reflect a long-standing push to create distrust in public schooling as part of a culture war.
Teachers' Union Head On Education As A Tool Against Fascism
Q: Why do you regret the title of your book in light of political violence?
I regret political violence but I don't regret the title as it serves as a warning about fascism.
Shutdown Politics Get Even More Intense
Q: Why can't Republicans just force the bill through the Senate?
Because of the filibuster rule, legislation requires 60 votes to advance, and Republicans only hold a 53 seat majority, limiting their ability to pass bills without bipartisan support.
