[0:18] Jordan introduces this episode’s guest journalist and writer Bari Weiss

[1:44:00] The fallout from the Tom Cotton article on bringing in the national guard during riots in 2020
[1:51:00] The temptation of writing "heroin" for your readers or listeners. The cost of telling the truth and the increased cost for young unestablished people is concerning
[2:05:00] Establishing the idea of Judgement as a necessity. How do you foster the next generation to think critically and become a good mentor instead of a tyrant to a younger mentee?
