In this Thursday night live episode of Grey Matter, David Leis, Michael Klassen, and host Leighton Grey KC examine how universities have strayed from their foundational purpose as bastions of truth, debate, and critical thinking.

Leis delivers a powerful analysis of how ideological interests have systematically infiltrated academic institutions through what he calls “the long march,” embedding themselves in ways that threaten the foundations of open discourse and free society. “They have entered institutions and they’ve embedded themselves in a way that has been quite ingenious,” warns Leis as he breaks down how these embedded interests are often “positioned for violence” rather than constructive dialogue.

This conversation explores why figures like Charlie Kirk chose to directly engage with college campuses, the paradox of universities becoming increasingly hostile to diverse viewpoints, and what this means for the future of higher education and society at large. Join us for an eye-opening discussion on reclaiming the true purpose of universities as spaces for discovery, debate, and the free exchange of ideas.

In this riveting episode of Grey Matter, host Leighton Grey KC welcomes historian Thomas DiLorenzo for a paradigm-shifting conversation about Abraham Lincoln’s legacy and the startling contents of his first inaugural address.

DiLorenzo, author of multiple books challenging the conventional Lincoln narrative, presents compelling evidence that Lincoln’s inaugural speech—which DiLorenzo provocatively terms the “slavery forever speech”—contained explicit promises not to disturb the institution of slavery where it already existed. Most controversially, DiLorenzo highlights Lincoln’s endorsement of the Corwin Amendment, which would have constitutionally prohibited the federal government from ever interfering with slavery in the states.

As Grey responds with visible shock to these historical revelations, listeners are invited to examine primary sources and question the sanitized version of history that has elevated Lincoln to near-mythical status in American culture. This episode doesn’t just reexamine history—it challenges us to consider how political narratives are constructed and maintained across generations.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a student of political science, or simply someone who appreciates nuanced discussions about America’s complex past, this conversation will provide thought-provoking insights that extend far beyond the conventional understanding of Lincoln and his era.

What happens when a soldier turns to poetry to process the unprocessable?

Today on Grey Matter, we welcome Ryan McDermott, West Point graduate, Iraq War veteran, and author of the critically acclaimed memoir “Downriver: Memoir of a Warrior Poet.”

In this deeply moving episode, Ryan shares his journey through three defining crucibles: military service during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the collapse of Lehman Brothers where he worked in 2008, and the personal struggles that followed. Throughout these experiences, Ryan found solace and meaning through poetry—a practice that helped him transform trauma into art.

“The evening was cool and damp in the early spring of 2011. Clouds drooped over the nation’s capital, creating the faintest fog as I walked along the Potomac River Trail from Georgetown to the Lincoln Memorial. My mind replayed the battles I thought I’d left behind. Between the deserts of Iraq in 2003 and the trading floors of Lehman Brothers in 2008, I now had to fight to save myself.”

Ryan’s compelling perspective on vulnerability as strength offers valuable insights for anyone facing adversity. As he poignantly notes through his interpretation of Hemingway: “You got to let go and in a sense break, not quit, but you allow yourself to break… vulnerability is a foundation of strength.”

Whether you’re interested in military experiences, financial crises, or the healing power of creative expression, this episode offers profound wisdom on resilience and finding what truly matters in life.

Don’t miss this powerful conversation that, as one reviewer said of Ryan’s book, “doesn’t just tell you what happened, he makes you feel why it mattered.”

Listen now and discover how poetry can transform even the darkest experiences into something meaningful.
