The new Trump presidency has led to pressure on the First Amendment, and the lines between free expression and political enforcement are blurring. Those who say speech is now freer argue that his actions are restoring viewpoint diversity. Those who argue it’s more restricted argue it’s a crackdown on speech that doesn’t align with the administration’s views, especially in Harvard’s case. In partnership with the Cascades PBS Ideas Festival, we debate free speech’s evolution in the Trump 2.0 era. Nadine Strossen, Senior Fellow at FIRE; Former President of the ACLU  Brandi Kruse, Host of "unDivided with Brandi Kruse”  Nick Gillespie, Editor-at-Large at Reason, is the guest moderator.    Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.    Learn more about your ad choices.

"Oh, the people you’ll meet, and the places you’ll go..."That classic Dr. Seuss line couldn’t have been more true when I found myself at a rare disease conference, taking with Dr. Gabriel Cohn. A quiet presence with a resume that reads like a roadmap through the last 30 years of rare disease breakthroughs, Dr. Cohn is the kind of person who reminds you just how much heart and science it takes to change lives.Dr. Gabe Cohn is the Executive Director and Medical Director of the Rosenau Family Research Foundation. He stepped into the role in October, bringing with him over three decades of experience that spans academic medicine and the biotechnology industry. A licensed, board-certified Clinical Geneticist and Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Dr. Cohn has contributed to the development of multiple therapeutics aimed at treating rare genetic disorders—a career built on both clinical precision and compassionate innovation.Beyond RFRF, he’s also the Chief Medical Officer at iECURE, Inc., a biotech company pioneering gene editing therapies for rare diseases. His prior leadership roles at Homology Medicines, AVROBIO, OvaScience, and Shire reflect a steady focus on advancing gene therapy and editing platforms. Since 2017 alone, he’s played a pivotal role in getting five different cell and gene therapy programs past the critical regulatory gatekeeping stages of IND and CTA submissions.Dr. Cohn isn’t just a scientist—he’s a builder, a connector, and a relentless advocate for the potential of genetic medicine to rewrite the future for patients with rare diseases.If you would like to get a hold of the Rosenau Foundation: https://rosenaufoundation.org Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris:  https://www.viatris.com/en

The Trump administration is waging war on DEI. But what does that mean? We ask one of our favorite guests, Heather McGhee, to break down how and why DEI has become such a focus for Trump and his allies. Heather wrote the groundbreaking book “The Sum of Us” and is an expert in economic and social policy. She explains that diversity is the backbone of America and that it’s unquestionably better for everyone when we embrace more diverse voices. We also discuss the appalling ICE raids in Los Angeles and around the country and the economic and moral impact of the war on immigrants. Heather sees many parallels between this and the disgusting actions of segregationists, who chose to fill in and close public pools rather than let everybody have access to them.  Read more about Heather: https://heathermcghee.com/
