A New Era for America: Meritocracy, Innovation & Debate | James Fishback x Peter McCormack Podcast

James Fishback is the founder of Incubate Debate, a free speech advocate, and a debate champion, committed to fostering critical thinking and open dialogue among students across the U.S.

In this interview we discuss how political bias and censorship are infiltrating high school debate competitions. They explore the decline of free speech, the impact on young minds, and what it means for the future of education and democracy. This eye-opening conversation delves into the controversial practices shaping today’s debates and why restoring free speech is more critical than ever.
