The Free Press Live! A Debate

With ongoing wars around the world from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, and more threatening to break out any day, it is more urgent than ever that we clarify our country’s role on the world stage.

Does the United States still possess the will to protect our allies and defend the values of liberal democracy? Are we still capable of military interventions that are strategically sound and beneficial to global stability? Should we try to wrestle back the superpower status that we feel is waning, or should we just let it go?

On October 9th in New York City, The Free Press is proud to host a debate on U.S. foreign policy—and to welcome four brilliant people to hash out the question: Should the U.S. Still Police the World?

Bret Stephens and Jamie Kirchick will face off against Matt Taibbi and Lee Fang. Bari Weiss will moderate.

We are also excited to invite you to our exclusive debate after-party, where you’ll be able to chat with Bari and members of The Free Press and FIRE teams, mingle with the debaters, and get a chance to meet other Free Pressers in the flesh. To attend the after-party, make sure to purchase a Tier 1 ticket.
