Emma CampGUEST
My guest today
Jim O'ShaughnessyHOST
is Emma Camp, the journalist and senior newsletter editor at the Wall Street Journal's Free Expression section, where she writes daily commentary and produces short-form video on American culture, politics, economics, and other issues.
Jim O'ShaughnessyHOST
Emma, welcome to Infinite Loops.
Jim O'ShaughnessyHOST
When I saw your video on rent control not being the greatest thing in the world, I was fascinated for a couple of reasons.
Judith JosephGUEST
born
Leland VittertHOST
into porn, right? Emma Camp in the Wall Street Journal, porn helps explain the Cornell sexual assault case.
Leland VittertHOST
If your first exposure to adult sexuality is hardcore porn, and if it remains the primary lens through which you think about what sex is for, of course it will shape your preferences.
Leland VittertHOST
Sex in porn is violent, degrading, and extreme.

Leland VittertHOST
The dot, dot, dot to that is there was one man who walked up and, by all accounts, opened the door, saw what was happening, and left.
Leland VittertHOST
Now, didn't say to these guys, stop, or if that was your sister or your mother, you would be appalled, whatever.
Leland VittertHOST
I go back to this Emma Camp article, because I think maybe as part of Gen Z she is on to something.
Leland VittertHOST
Whether the chat contains an invitation to rape the alleged victim depends on how you read it.
Grace CurleyHOST
And I wanna read, 'cause this is a little bit of a separate note, but I did find it interesting.
Grace CurleyHOST
There's a story by Emma Camp, and I, I saw that name and I thought, Emma Camp sounds familiar.
Grace CurleyHOST
I'll tell you why it's familiar.
Grace CurleyHOST
Because Emma Camp was the woman who made that post about why rent control doesn't work, and she went viral for it.
Grace CurleyHOST
She made this really awesome, like, quick video explaining to young people why rent control or rent-stabilized apartments sound so good, and freezing the rent as Mom Dani did, as he sticks his head in the freezer, sounds really good, and why it fails every time.
Grace CurleyHOST
And she went viral for that.
Grace CurleyHOST
That's, that's part of the issue.
Grace CurleyHOST
Let me read you a, a little bit from this Wall Street Journal piece.
Avi FelmanHOST
There are Sometimes you'll read something in the freaking Wall Street Journal and you'll catch that they used AI on it.
Avi FelmanHOST
And I'll give props to this one woman, this girl named Emma Camp,
Jonah Van BourgHOST
who produces these
Avi FelmanHOST
great videos for the Wall Street Journal where she explains very simple topics like rent control.
Justin KaleHOST
It's really great.
Justin KaleHOST
It's with someone whose stock has risen higher than anyone I remember, maybe in 2026 overall, Emma Camp.
Justin KaleHOST
She is absolutely blowing up.
Justin KaleHOST
all over the internet right now.

Maggie AndersGUEST
The foil doesn't exist right now.
Maggie AndersGUEST
You know, it's just like it does exist to a degree of people, you know, concerned about socialism.
Maggie AndersGUEST
But where is the foil of people explaining capitalism and explaining free markets, right? I think this is one reason Emma Camp is becoming really successful.
Maggie AndersGUEST
in this period of time, it's because people are desperate for someone who can explain why Zoran Mamdani is a huge threat to America without resorting to these attacks on his character that just don't ring true to people, right? I like Zogran Bamdani walks around with a huge smile on his face.
Michael WearGUEST
And I really appreciate that and learn from him.
Michael WearGUEST
And then I'll just say, you know, I think Emma Camp has been doing really interesting work at the journal.
Michael WearGUEST
At the Wall Street Journal and come probably come with some different sort of initial intuitions about political questions than she does.
Michael WearGUEST
But, A, I just think she's like a joy.
Peter SudermanHOST
It's almost like, you know, machines that use some energy to save us a bunch of labor are good things.
Peter SudermanHOST
So I also want to my recommendation also involves a former Reason employee, Emma Camp.
Peter SudermanHOST
who, along with Caleb Arch, formerly of National Review, put on a production, a reading of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing this weekend.
Peter SudermanHOST
I attended because I was in it.
