Is America Rewarding the Wrong Values? Ben Shapiro Thinks So

I’m joined by Ben Shapiro, a controversial figure who for many needs no introduction. Ben is a political commentator, author, and co-founder of The Daily Wire. He joins me to discuss his new book, Scavengers and Lions. We explore the central metaphor of the book and what it says about the moral choices facing our culture today. Ben lays out his argument about the rise of intellectual scavengers who feed on grievance and resentment, and contrasts them with the “lions,” those who embrace responsibility, reason, and moral clarity. We also talk about Donald Trump, wokeness, gun control, and birth rates. ------ Thank you to our sponsors: New episodes of The Isabel Brown Show can be viewed on DailyWire+ here: www.dailywire.com/show/the-isabel-brown-show Learn more about your ad choices.

Deal or No Deal? October 7 Hostage Families Divided

It’s been nearly two years since October 7, when Hamas took over 250 people hostage. Since then, families of the captives have led a relentless campaign to bring them home, but they haven’t always agreed on how to get there. As a new ceasefire deal is on the table, I speak with three voices from that struggle. One is Dalia Cusnir-Horn, who has one brother-in-law, Iair Horn, who was captured and then freed and another, Eitan Horn, who is still held in Gaza. Dalia has become a leading advocate for a negotiated release. I also speak with Tzvika Mor and Talik Gvili, parents with a very different view. Tzvika speaks to me from a protest calling for “total victory.” Both argue that only military pressure will bring real resolution, and to negotiate with Hamas is not an option.

The Bipartisan Assault on Free Speech w/ Greg Lukianoff

Greg Lukianoff is an attorney, author, and president of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. You may know him from his previous books, The Coddling of the American Mind and The Canceling of the American Mind. His latest book, which was published earlier this summer, is The War on Words, Ten Arguments Against Free Speech—and Why They Fail. In this episode, we get into why Lukianoff is nota free speech absolutist, how October 7 shifted the campus speech debate, and where protest crosses the line into illegality. We also touch on the rights of visa and green card holders, President Donald Trump’s intimidation tactics, and the troubling free speech climate in the UK. ----- Buy tickets for The Free Press Pittsburgh Debate on September 10th here:https://www.trustarts.org/production/103133 Buy tickets for The Free Press Live at The Comedy Cellar on September 14th here.

How Sensitivity Readers Made Publishing More Racist w/Adam Szetela

This week on Conversations with Coleman, I’m joined by writer and cultural critic Adam Szetela, author of That Book Is Dangerous!, a trenchant look at how moral panic, social media, and identity-driven outrage are reshaping the publishing industry. We discuss the rise of so-called sensitivity readers who vet books to ensure they are as inoffensive as possible, and how an obsession with controlling representation of minorities is narrowing creative freedom and silencing risk-taking voices. Adam argues that in trying to avoid stereotypes, the industry may be reinforcing a subtle form of racism, one that flattens characters into symbols instead of portraying them as fully human.

Coleman Hughes Special: Candace Owens, Brigitte Macron & Our Age of Conspiracy

I watched the eight-hour series on the French First Lady by podcaster Candace Owens, so you don't have to. It’s a fascinating window into a mind gripped by extreme apophenia: the tendency to see patterns where none exist. So just how and why did Candace Owens spread this lie?

How to Avoid the Partisan Trap Even at The Washington Post w/ Megan McArdle

You might think you know what a Washington Post columnist sounds like, but Megan McArdle is not your typical liberal media voice. She’s spent years inside the most established outlets in journalism: The Atlantic, Bloomberg, The Economist and yet she’s managed to surprise and infuriate readers on the left with sharp critiques that don’t always toe the party line. Today on Conversations we talk about why progressives often get economic policy wrong and the real mess behind America’s broken healthcare system. Megan makes a solid pitch for why Americans should continue to have a private system. Megan and I get into it about insurance companies, pharmaceutical giants, and where the incentives in healthcare are completely backwards . . . and, believe it or not, where they actually work.

Coleman Hughes Special: Israel, Hamas & the Myth of Moral Equivalence

In this special episode, I take on probably the most controversial and emotionally fraught topic of the moment: the Israel-Hamas conflict. I think war crimes have been committed on both sides. But that doesn’t mean I think the two sides are morally equivalent. Today, I argue that there’s a fundamental asymmetry between Israel and Hamas, one that’s too often blurred or ignored by the mainstream media. Israel’s actions, while sometimes flawed or tragic in consequence, are ultimately rooted in a defensive logic. Hamas, on the other hand, has explicitly genocidal goals. But where does that leave us when we see images of children starving and hear reports that Israel is responsible? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hollywood's Death By Algorithm w/ Justine Bateman

Filmmaker and digital rights activist Justine Bateman joins me for a conversation on how AI is warping Hollywood and why the content we consume feels increasingly hollow. We dive into the decline of originality, the studios' addiction to algorithms, and how the “double-screen” era (watching while scrolling) has rewired audience expectations, pushing creators toward louder, faster, and shallower stories. Can art survive the attention economy?

If I were your grandmother (I’m 75), I’d be very proud of you, Coleman! You have moral and ethical clarity, unusual traits in today’s young people. You have the ability to be a honest broker and you do your homework. You let the chips fall where they may, even if it’s against the grain. It’s journalists like you that make me a FP subscriber. Keep up the good work. You have a bright future.

This is an excellent podcast that really digs into the nuances and context of an issue. Look no further than the way he has thoughtfully examined the Israel-Palestinian conflict and the situation in Gaza. Rather than blindly repeat the stories published by the legacy media, which have been shown to be wrong, he takes the time to examine the issues and digs into a topic. This is precisely what we need from all journalists. You know that the information you’re getting from him is true.

Tragic Mulatto

I’m not sure I’ve encountered a more simplistic, ahistorical overview of Israel/Palestine than from this person. Listening to a few other of his shows indicates that unsophisticated, under-informed banal commentary is actually his whole schtick, however. It’s a sad commentary on our society that this mediocrity is taken even minimally seriously as a public thinker.
