It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

My team and I are taking a holiday season break today, and we're re-airing some segments from 2025 that we think you'll enjoy or enjoy again,

lightly edited for clarity and time. So we can't take your calls today, but today we'll hear

infectious disease epidemiologist Seth Berkeley, who puts the anti-vax movement in historic

context. Gen Z callers, nostalgic for pre-cell phone times, why Americans

don't move so much anymore, Ilya merits on Trump v. Academia and not just the Ivy's.

And speaking of, we start with the president of Princeton University, Christopher Icegruber.

He has a new book called

Terms of Respect, How Colleges Get Free Speech Right. We'll see if he can convince you that they

actually do as we pick it up here. It's an interesting title at a time when critics on both the

left and the right and free speech purists without a political side,

all say colleges are getting it wrong. Christopher Icegruber has been the Princeton president since

2013. He has the unusual, perhaps, academic track of having been a physics major at Princeton

in the 80s, but going on to become a constitutional lawyer, including as a clerk

for Supreme Court Justice, John Paul Stevens. He has written provocative books before, including

one about undemocratic features of the U.S. Constitution, one that proposed reforming the Supreme

Court justice selection process, and one about the Constitution and religious liberty

that argue that religion gets treated as both too privileged and too punished by modern applications of the wall of separation between religion and government as people see it.

Maybe we'll touch on some of the themes of those older books as they relate to the new one about speech on campus.

In a nutshell,

Ice Gruber argues that there can be a balance between free speech and respectful inclusivity.
