  • Dr Atlas is brave and courageous

    Sadly we shouldn’t have to be brave and courageous to stand up for our freedom. But very few do. Scott Atlas speaks with more integrity, honesty and directness than any lawmaker or pundit in any venue. From the beginning of Covid. So glad he was uncensored and able to be heard finally.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Truth, Bias, and Power: How the Transformation of America’s Media is Reshaping Society | Ep. 62
Q: What is the most pressing threat to free and open debate today?
A combination of censorship by both government and big tech, along with a consolidation of media power that shapes narratives and suppresses competing viewpoints, undermining trust and the ability to debate openly.
Chad Wolf | Reversing Illegal Immigration: From Election Mandate to Implementation | Ep. 64
Q: What is the status of Iran's nuclear program and how should the U.S. respond strategically?
The U.S. has taken surgical, strategic actions to prevent a nuclear Iran, prioritizing Israel's security and moral considerations in defending civilians and religious groups, while weighing broader regional stability and potential outcomes in the Western Hemisphere.
Chad Wolf | Reversing Illegal Immigration: From Election Mandate to Implementation | Ep. 64
Q: Tell me about how effective you think the travel ban is.
The travel ban is effective because it prevents entry from countries with poor vetting and cooperation, helping to vet travelers more rigorously and align with national security needs, while recognizing that enforcement and data-sharing improvements are ongoing.
Harmeet Dhillon | How the Trump DOJ Is Dismantling Campus DEI and Censorship | Ep. 60
Q: How do you view free speech on private campuses versus public ones, and what are the boundaries when federal funding is involved?
On public or federally funded campuses, First Amendment considerations apply differently than private spaces; federal funding conditions create a leverage point to address discrimination and ensure compliance, while free speech itself remains protected up to limits where safety or property is at risk.
Harmeet Dhillon | How the Trump DOJ Is Dismantling Campus DEI and Censorship | Ep. 60
Q: Tell us what you see as the most important civil rights issues on your plate today.
The Civil Rights Division handles many issues every day, filing lawsuits and advising on education, employment, disability, and voting rights, with a focus on ensuring compliance when federal funding is involved.
