Moving Forward: FDA Menthol Ban, Federal Debt, Populism, Anti-Israel Protests

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Brian Nuckols, Benjamin Ayanian, William Barclay, and Ed Tarnowski.

The FDA has officially withdrawn its proposed rule for a ban on menthol cigarettes after statewide bans failed in Massachusetts and California. Brian Nuckols explains why this is a triumph for harm reduction.

The U.S. federal debt may seem like an insurmountable problem for those trying to rein in government spending. Benjamin Ayanian says the Constitution provides the answers we're seeking.

Populism gets a bad rap despite dominating American political discourse for nearly a decade. William Barclay describes why it's actually a sheep in wolf's clothing.

When boisterous anti-Israel protests began to take place on U.S. college campuses, one school handled it better than others. Ed Tarnowski says Dartmouth addressed the situation the right way.
