    Alex Shieh – Bloat at Brown University

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit glennloury.substack.com Support The Glenn Show at https://glennloury.substack.com In this bonus episode of The Glenn Show, I talk with Brown University sophomore Alex Shieh about Bloat@Brown, his website calling out Brown administrators whose roles, he says, may violate federal discrimination laws. We talk about why he started Bloat@Brown, diversity of thought on campus, class-based affirmative action, and the role of diversity on campus. This bonus episode is available in its entirety to full subscribers, without whom The Glenn Show would not be possible.

    The Glenn Loury News Hour

    Support The Glenn Show at https://glennloury.substack.com I spent part of last week visiting Stanford University, and John is off taking care of business in Australia. The time difference, travel, and speaking obligations made scheduling a recording impossible. So this week, I’ve got something a little different for you. Instead of recording a conversation on the day’s news with John, I decided to record one on my own. In this episode, I talk through some opinion pieces that grabbed my attention and give my take on the topics. I address Trump and the economy, Trump’s predictability and unpredictability, DOGE and MAGA’s slashing of the federal government, Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest, antisemitism, and attacks on Tesla cars, dealerships, and charging stations. This is a bit of an experiment—my team and I wanted to see what would happen if I gave it a shot. Let me know how it’s working for you in the comments. These pieces are all quite relevant as of this posting, on Monday afternoon. But by Friday? Who knows. So I decided to release this episode simultaneously to both free and full subscribers. If you like getting The Glenn Show a few days early, consider becoming a full subscriber. You’ll get new episodes early, plus access to monthly Q&As with John McWhorter, bonus episodes, and other exclusive content. Become a full subscriber at https://glennloury.substack.com Video Links 2:31 The opportunities and risks of Trump's economic plans 6:50 Is Trump as unpredictable as he seems? 16:00 DOGE and MAGA take a chainsaw to the federal government 22:30 An argument against Mahmoud Khalil's detention ... 32:49 ... and one in favor of Khalil's detention 41:38 Is it time for an official ban on antisemitism? 49:14 Teslas are burning Recorded March 14, 2025 Links and Readings Steve Cortes’s RCP piece, “Trump and the Economy: Opportunities and Risks” Susan Glasser’s New Yorker piece, “Uncertainty Is Trump’s Brand.
