Emily Jashinsky opens the show with some pointed questions about antisemitism in the aftermath of Oct 7. She discusses what she believes are the dangers of definition-inflation. She also fields a few comments about her views on libertarianism, why she enjoys conversations with people who oppose her own political views, the Trump administration, and where we are on the issue of systemic racism. Another question concerns the fallout from the Minnesota shooting and why she believes it’s important to be slow to react to cases such as these. She also takes on a lengthy email about Candace Owens and discusses her views on Candace’s coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and why she believes people with large platforms should vet information before they share it with the public. Emily then dives into her own history with Ben Shapiro and why she’d love to interview him again and what it means for the conservative movement to have social media influencers involving themselves in politics.
