Episode 28: FDR Said Don’t Fear, Newsom Said Don’t Quote Me

Episode 28: FDR Said Don’t Fear, Newsom Said Don’t Quote Me

Today on Ben Kissel Politics, we’re tackling the strange mix of fear, free speech, and full-on political backpedaling.

😨 First up: fear of fear itself. How do you confront the anxiety of living in a time where panic feels like the default setting? We dig into what it means to conquer that fear and keep moving forward.

📚 Then we dive into the new pronoun-policing legislation, which caps damages at $50,000 for people offended by speech. Because nothing says protecting freedom like slapping a price tag on it.

🏛️ And finally, Gavin Newsom continues his bid to fight his way to the middle—this time with some spectacular backtracking on earlier stances. Turns out, running for president means your spine has to be as flexible as your polling data.

It’s fear management, language lawfare, and political gymnastics—all wrapped in sarcasm and a stiff drink.
