约翰和肯辩论“言论自由”是否在大学校园受到攻击。约翰认为，那些在课堂上推动“安全空间”并引发警告的学生是在为自己辩护，而肯则坚持认为，如果学生受到冒犯他们的思想的保护，他们将无法做好进入社会的准备。肯和约翰都认为，哲学家约翰·斯图亚特·密尔认为，自由思想的流出促进了对真理的探索。

Greg Lukianoff，即将成为《美国心灵的溺爱》的合著者，加入了节目。肯认为“学生应该是相对令人讨厌的”，并怀疑他们的抱怨是否真的对言论自由构成了可怕的威胁。格雷格同意学生有权抗议有争议的演讲者出现在他们的大学校园里，但他也认为学生们过分夸大了他们的经历和被攻击性言论煽动的“创伤”。他援引1992年在加州通过的伦纳德法案作为证据，证明第一修正案适用于私立和公立大学，而且应该适用。

In the final segment, John asks Greg if using “common sense” to regulate free speech and hate speech alike is a sufficient compromise for free speech absolutists and students who want to feel protected. He notes that most post-Enlightenment influenced civilizations do not have a Bill of Rights or First Amendment like the United States to adjudicate this issue. Greg, however, maintains that the First Amendment is an important achievement of the United States — one that, as it stands, equally protects students’ right to protest and controversial speakers’ ability to share their ideas. He thinks that the line between free speech and regulation ought to be drawn when students attempt to physically inhibit or harm the speakers they disagree with.
