Free speech, civility, and civic courage | Rep. Celeste Maloy

Do you ever self-censor your political views because you’re worried about how others might react, or even fear backlash for sharing what you really believe?

You’re not alone. And it’s a sign that we’ve forgotten how to disagree constructively in American public life.

On this episode of Defending Ideas, host Nic Dunn sits down with Rep. Celeste Maloy of Utah’s 2nd Congressional District for a powerful conversation about restoring the art of civil debate, defending free speech, and encouraging the next generation to stay civically engaged. They also cover policy developments in energy and artificial intelligence.
