Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

Comedian Ehsan Ahmad joins Bridget for a hilarious discussion about all things cultural including Muslims naming their kids "Jihad", the need to call out the crazy in your family, our government's meme wars, the absurdity of how Kamala lost the election by not going on a bunch of comedians' podcasts, why AI memes are to blame for your 20% energy spike, and his take on H1B visas. They also cover how there’s no small government Republicans left, why it feels like we've been in a secret recession since COVID, the importance of home ownership and how it's out of reach for many Americans, the Riyadh comedy festival, why Bernie would’ve crushed Trump in 2016, and the changes they've seen in stand-up audiences in the last decade and what that tells them about the culture.

E255. Cancel Culture In The Group Chat - Dumpster Fire

Journalist Margaret Roberts joins Bridget to discuss the book she spent 20 years researching and writing, Blowback: The Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing. She describes her journey down a path of unanswered questions and loose ends that lead to questioning the "lone wolf" narrative of the case, the extent of the FBI's involvement, when surveillance crosses the line and goes rogue, the holes in the official story, and why some questions might never be answered about America’s deadliest domestic terrorist attack. They cover FBI whistleblowers, a lawyer's quest to find out what happened to his brother, how it's growing more difficult to trust our institutions, what's happened to journalism, the Boston bombing, Governor Whitmer, January 6th, and what needs to happen now.

E360. What the FBI Doesn’t Want You to See - Margaret Roberts

Elizabeth Grace Matthew joins Bridget for a comprehensive conversation about the cultural chaos of modern America. Specifically, they discuss the infantilizing pitfalls of contemporary feminism, the dishonesty of the “soft” trad wife aesthetic, the performative nature of all the “ideals” people are consuming on social media, how the reality for most women lies somewhere in between stay-at-home mom and girlboss, and the dangers of gentle parenting. They also cover the siloing of media, why it’s hard to build an audience and be nuanced, ideas for protecting your kids from the insanity on the extreme left and the extreme right, what happens when politics become your religion, why we’re in a technologically facilitated dark age, faith, family, and the fight for sanity.

E359. The Center Is Not Holding - Elizabeth Matthew

This week, Bridget welcomes journalist Yaakov Katz for an in-depth conversation about his book While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East. He and Bridget tackle the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled Hamas’s surprise attack on October 7th, 2023. They cover a brief history of the conflict in the region, Israel’s misguided policy of containment, the misunderstandings caused by the application of a Western mindset to a completely different ideology, becoming complacent in their reliance on technology, misunderstanding the motives of terrorist organizations, why no one wondered what Hamas had done with the billions of dollars in aid money it had received, whether or not Israel knew about the tunnel system being built in Gaza, how key warnings were missed, and the global rise of antisemitism that has followed.

E358. While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East - Yaakov Katz

Andrew Doyle returns to the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about his book The End of Woke, the culture shock of moving from London to Arizona, the far Left and far Right overlap in anti-Semitism, the rollback in DEI policies, why you shouldn’t use the term “hate speech, “ and the UK’s failure to enforce certain laws because police have been trained as activists. They also cover the long-term damage of COVID-era contradictions, when being unwilling to say anything that could possibly be perceived as racist costs people their lives, the fetishizing of other cultures, Sweden’s immigration mistake, Charlie Kirk’s murder, extremist ideals seeping in mainstream culture, the actual definition of fascism, why assassination culture is not the way, the UK’s complete ideological capture, Graham Linehan's arrest, and why we shouldn’t be thinking in terms of “Left” and “Right” now - we should be thinking in terms of those who believe in authoritarianism and those who believe in liberty.

E357. The Battle for Civilization - Andrew Doyle

Senior Scholar at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), Sarah McLaughlin sits down with Bridget to discuss her book, Authoritarians In the Academy: How the Internationalization of Higher Education and Borderless Censorship Threaten Free Speech. Sarah addresses the problems of foreign authoritarian regimes infiltrating American academia; from students fearing family backlash back home, to governments attempting to silence dissenting voices in colleges outside their borders, to universities choosing foreign cash over free expression, there is a hidden free speech issue going on in higher education. She and Bridget cover the issues facing satellite campuses, Confucius Institutes, study abroad programs & research grants, how universities are not being transparent when it comes to ways they can’t challenge the local laws, how money and global ambitions are clashing with academic freedom, the disconnect between what you promise your students and what the law is, why the fight for free speech is worse both globally and in the US since she started working for FIRE, and why higher education should be a place where students from around the world can come and access the freedoms America offers.

E356. Foreign Influence In Higher Education - Sarah McLaughlin

Original Air Date - 10/19/23 Revisit a Walk-Ins Welcome classic Helen Joyce, author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, sits down with Bridget for an in-depth conversation about the trans activist movement, what inspired her to write the book, what's changed since the book came out in 2021, the bullshit idea that everything can be blamed on feminism, the detransitioners she's met, and how the trans movement is sending women’s rights back to the dark ages. They discuss the sense that women have been abandoned in the culture wars, queer theory, the rise of conspiratorial thinking, how much faith she used to have in the institutions of our society and why she no longer trusts them, the definition of a moral injury, how gender ideology breaks things in exactly the place they're meant to work, being told that it’s a civil right to choose your gender, why she feels she's doing exactly what she’s supposed to be doing, and why you should never validate the delusion because you will lose control of the ward.

E355. They're Sterilizing Gay Kids - Helen Joyce

Comedian Andrew Heaton returns to talk about his new book Tribalism Is Dumb: Where It Came from, How It Got So Bad, and What to Do about It. He and Bridget discuss the evolutionary and social roles that tribalism has played throughout human history and why it has become so toxic in the last 20 years. They cover Andrew’s favorite line to break the ice at parties, how our ability to work in groups is why we defeated the dolphins, why the decline of religion has been bad for tribalism, information overload, why Finns might be too unimaginative to be unhappy, drunk monkeys, and why comedy might be our best shot at dismantling toxic partisanship. They also talk stolen lemon trees, gnome parades, social trust, and the human urge to pick a fight.

Greg Lukianoff returns to the podcast as he and Bridget spotlight the battle for free speech and why it’s dying in many areas of the world. They discuss suing the Trump administration over a shady deportation policy, AI’s potential for tyranny in places like China and Iran, people who are pro-free speech until it’s someone who’s not on their team, the free speech disaster happening in Europe and Canada, why free speech is a problem of comfort, why Greg is funding experiments in AI that defend free speech and viewpoint diversity, and why free speech is an eternally radical idea that must be continuously fought for.

E353. Why Free Speech Is Dying and How to Save It - Greg Lukianoff

Jennifer Briney, host of the Congressional Dish podcast, sits down with Bridget to talk about her mission to read the bills and laws passed by Congress, to find out what is being done with our taxes, explain what is hidden in bills over 1000 pages long, and to create a community of people who were interested in Congress’s effect on our lives. They cover how living abroad during the US invasion of Iraq got Jen interested in how the media was covering the war, how she started looking for media that would tell her the truth but couldn't find it so she started watching CSPAN, and her shock at hearing things discussed on the House floor that she thought would be massive scandals but weren’t even being discussed in blogs, all of which led her to starting the podcast. They discuss how the "bosses" for both parties are really multi-national corporations, how in lockstep both parties are when it comes to war, the impossibility of leaving your bias at the door and how she deals with it, and why she's enthusiastic because independents like herself are making a living in media and not toeing the corporate line.
