With a new position at the Catholic University of America and funding from a rightwing think tank, Guangcheng takes on a new challenge: strengthening his English. We examine why this became such a top priority for Guangcheng and his patrons, what it means to traverse borders and negotiate between languages, and how Guangcheng’s political beliefs are translated by different audiences in a country that elected Donald Trump. 

Rarely a week goes by without a fresh skirmish in the culture wars between the right and the left. Whether it’s cancel culture, wokeism, defining a woman or marking colonial history, battles between the warring tribes are increasingly having an impact on our lives.

With the row over Rishi Sunak’s joke at Prime Minister’s Questions over defining a woman still reverberating around Westminster, this week Amol and Nick look at the roots of culture wars, why they matter and where they’re going.

They’re joined by Jon Ronson, the journalist, documentary-maker and podcaster whose series ‘Things Fall Apart’ has catalogued and defined culture wars on both sides of the Atlantic.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Carrie Prejean Boller and Britt Mayer, founders of "The Battle Cry" platform to protect children, to talk about the awful Nashville Christian school shooting, remembering the victims in this tragic shooting, the hero police officers who quickly killed the shooter, our cultural and media coverage of guns and police, the mental health crisis in America, the trans conversation that has to happen, the focus on oppressors and oppressed, whether this was a hate crime against religious people, President Biden's focus on ice cream before discussing the Nashville shooting, nonstop celebration of Dylan Mulvaney, CNN's bizarre "digital blackface" story, and more. Then Professor Charles Negy of UCF joins to discuss the story of getting fired over some tweets, how he's fighting back with a new lawsuit, questioning the woke ideology and getting blowback, the reaction to his supposedly "controversial" tweets, how his own "diversity" wasn't enough to save him, the response from students and his colleagues, and more.

Tom Walker, the brains behind Jonathan Pie, joins Rob to talk about all things free speech and the role comedy has to play in this and society as a whole. They discuss the lines comedy should and often does cross but also the responsibility all those with any kind of platform have.

Tom Reveals:

• Whom Jonathan Pie is based on
• The rights and wrongs of cancel culture
• The place comedy has in society
• How to pick your battles as a comedian and social commentator
• His thoughts on the Gary Lineker debate

Also featured:

• Whether self-preservation is the enemy of free speech
• Why free speech is aligned with the political right wing
• The responsibility comedians hold
• Why changing your mind is a strength

BEST MOMENTS

“I fictionalised a certain viewpoint and put it into the mouth of this character”

“You can have an opinion, an informed opinion but what you don’t have is lived experience’

“We live in a bit more of a sensitive age”

“Is comedy not that place where we preserve the extremes?”

“Context and intent are really important around jokes”

“The director general by his actions over the last week has done more damage to the BBC than Gary Lineker has done with one tweet”

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Hershey's became HeShe's as they appoint a trans activist to be the face of their women's history month campaign. But that's not even the worst of it. We'll discuss. Also, some Republicans push to ban TikTok as the ACLU objects. Tucker Carlson calls out Christian leaders for their failure to lead. The most notorious groomer on the internet keeps getting creepier. And in the Daily Cancellation, with women's history month now upon us, and black history month just past, it seems like one group is being left out.
