About this episode

Jordan Peterson sits down with bestselling author, commentator, and researcher, Dr. Corey DeAngelis.

DeAngelis is also the executive director at Educational Freedom Institute, a senior fellow at Reason Foundation, an adjunct scholar at Cato Institute, a board member at Liberty Justice Center, and a senior advisor at Accuracy in Media.
