1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Google wanted us to sort of stress tests some of 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: their ideas, and I thought it was interesting that they 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: would want to know what many of their customers. We 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: use Google products at the Heritage Foundation. Of course, as 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: one of their customers, I would think they'd want to 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: know what our opinions are, what our concerns are about 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. It was such a missed opportunity. I just 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: want the people in Silicon Valley and people on the 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: far far left to live up to their own bumper stickers. 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: They're the ones that said me and people suck. I've 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: never seen anything meaner, nastier, more vile than the hatred 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: that came towards me. Owing executive, the chief of communications 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: at that company, resigned over a decades old article on 14 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: women in combat. Now, the article was actually written thirty 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: three years ago when the communication's chiefest name is Nile 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: Gotlightly was in the United States military and he was 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: basically it looks like he was fourth out of the company. 18 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, we are in the midst of a disturbing 19 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: new movement in America, a movement where the new tutletarians 20 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: on the left are controlling the narrative and the agenda. 21 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: And demanding that those who disagree lose their jobs. The 22 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: radical left has forgotten the values are founding fathers established 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: for the United States. Instead, they've begun to guide a 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: new narrative for a country that frankly is a lot 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: like the Salem witch Trials of sixteen ninety two, or 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: George Orwell's classic novel nineteen eighty four, or, for that matter, 27 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,919 Speaker 1: the kind of imposed specialized thought from Lennon Stalin and Mouth. 28 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: This is the fourth episode in the new series from 29 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: calling Shut Your Mouth the New Teutletarians the Left, and 30 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: which I will discuss how this new movement is affecting 31 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: US and media, academics, sports, business, the federal bureaucracy, entertainment 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: and in our final episode, we want to hear from 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: you what have you experienced in your own life. I 34 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: will post all the episodes here to share at Gingwich 35 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: three com slash Shut in their Mouth. This episode will 36 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: focus on examples of how the left has taken over 37 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: business culture and demanded the firings of people who disagree 38 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: its narrative. And by the way, I said to tell 39 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: you that I just talked a good friend in Georgia 40 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: who owns a business who said to me, every business 41 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: owner he knows is terrified about what they might say. 42 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: They'll get them in trouble, get them boycotted, get them 43 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 1: harassed in the media, or have people outside their house 44 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: or outside their business. So this is not just something 45 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: we read about. It's something which is very, very real. 46 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: To start off with, we're going to look at art, 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: a medium traditionally known for self expression, free speech and storytelling, 48 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: but whose professionals have now come under fire by the 49 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: radical left. A curator at the met Bob Museum, Bart 50 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: Keith Christiansen posted on Instagram in June nineteenth a painting 51 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: of Alexandra Lenoire and archeologists who fought to save monuments 52 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: during the French Revolution. Below the photo, Christiansen wrote, quote 53 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: Alexandra Lenore battling the revolutionary zealous bent on destroying the 54 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: royal tuns of Saint Dunn's. How many great works of 55 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: wire have been lost to the desire to rid ourselves 56 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: or a past of which we don't approve, And how 57 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: grateful we are to people with menir who realized that 58 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: their value, both artistic and historical, extended beyond a defining 59 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: moment of social and political upheaval and Jades, having shared 60 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: the post on Jutiva, MET employees and worked by standards 61 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: alike ganged up on Christiansen in an open letter to 62 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: the MET. Fellow employees accused Christiansen are perpetuating a culture 63 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: of systematic racism. Others found them to be a counter 64 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: revolutionary to the monument protest and said he was quote 65 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: making a dog whistle of an equation of beale and 66 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: activist with revolutionary zealous post quote. For having honored the 67 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: heroic acts of Alexandra Lemire, Christiansen was labeled a white 68 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: supremacist and he was forced to apologize for his post. However, 69 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: as we will see, you can count Christiansen somewhat lucky. 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: On July thirty first, the San Francisco Museum of Modern 71 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: Arts senior curator Gary Garrells resigned after twenty years of 72 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: service following a petition sent out by museum employees accusing 73 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: him of holding quote toxic white supremacist beliefs post quote. 74 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: According to change dot org, during an all staff meeting 75 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: to go over the museum's collection policies on July seventh, 76 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: Garrells said a variation of quote, don't worry we will 77 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: continue to collect from white male artists. The museum's woke 78 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: employees were dumb struck by this comment. The two one 79 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus signatories demanded the Garrels immediately be 80 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: removed with his post asserting the following quote. Considering his 81 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: lengthy tenure at this institution, we asked just how long 82 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: that his toxic white supremacist beliefs regarding race and equity 83 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: directed his position curating the content of the museum. Garrows 84 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: has voiced similar sentiments in the past, arguing will be 85 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: impossible to completely shut white artists. The curator benignly noted 86 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: that doing anything on the contrary would be reverse discrimination. 87 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: While we may look at mister Garrow's reasoning is logical, 88 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: it was a step too far for the detolitary and left, 89 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: who were all too quick to label him a white supremacist. 90 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: The mob also omitted Garrow's previous contributions to traditionally marginalized communities. 91 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: Just last year, he spearheaded the sale of a fifty 92 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: point one million dollars Mark Rothko painting that was used 93 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: to create a fund dedicated to purchasing works by female 94 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: artists are of color and LGBTQ plus artists. Upon stepping down, Garrels, 95 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: having apologized for his words, had the following to say 96 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: in his defense, quote, I do not believe I've ever 97 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: said that it is important to collect the art of 98 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: white men. I have said this Importantly, he did not 99 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: exclude consideration of the art of Wheen close book. Those 100 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: were close ties to art classics are not the only 101 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: ones being targeted by the mob. As I wrote in 102 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: Trump and the American Future, Heritage CEO k James was 103 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: removed from a working group of innovation at Google simply 104 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: because she's a Republican. In April twenty nineteen, twenty five 105 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: hundred Google employees signed a petition demanding her removal. However, 106 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: the petition was just the tip of the iceberg. Internal 107 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: company messages revealed the true extent of the woke mobs 108 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: intolerance towards her. Miss James, a seventy one year old 109 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: African American woman who grew up during the Civil Rights Movement, 110 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: was slander with terms like bigott, racist, and white supremacist. 111 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: She responded to these absurd criticisms and a Washington Post 112 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: quote in nineteen sixty one, at age twelve, I was 113 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: one of two dozen black children who integrated an all 114 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: white junior high school in Richmond. White parents jeered me 115 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: outside the school, and inside their kids stuck me with pins, 116 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: shoved me in the halls, and pushed me down the stairs. 117 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: So in the group of Google employees resorted to calling 118 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: names and making false accusations because they didn't want a 119 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: conservative voice advising the company. The hostility was reminiscent of 120 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: what I felt back then, that same intolerance for someone 121 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: who was different from them, and bowing to the demands 122 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 1: of the ulitary left, Google decided to abandon the venture entirely, 123 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: arguing that the current environment did not allow for the 124 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: council to function properly. This is just one of many 125 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: case studies demonstrating the regressive tendencies of the radical left. Finally, Boeing, 126 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: one of America's top aeronautic manufacturers, is in hot water 127 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: after its communications chief Neil Golightly, abruptly stepped down after 128 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: an article he wrote thirty three years ago while serving 129 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: as the US Navy Pilot re emerged yes thirty three 130 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: years ago in the article published in the December nineteen 131 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: eighty seven issue of Proceedings Golightly wrote, quote, introducing women 132 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: into combat would destroy the exclusively male and tangibles of 133 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: war fighting and the feminine images of what men fight 134 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: for peace, home, family. He continued, arguing that quote, there 135 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: is simply no room for the problems of sexual harassment, rape, prostitution, pregnancy, 136 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: love triangles, and add lescent emotional crises aboard a densely 137 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: packed five thousand men aircraft carrier. Prydler his regulation until 138 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: a second. Golightly addressed his previous comments, asserting the quote 139 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: as youngsters who'd fight out ideas who things we look 140 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: back on and say that was kind of silly, But 141 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: boy did I learn from that. I think basketball we 142 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: wanted from leaders in society and politics and business close quote. 143 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: The article in question was only brought to light after 144 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: an anonymous ethics complaint was fouled internally, which was later 145 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: reviewed by the company's board. Bowling Chief executive Dave Calhoun 146 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: had the following to say about golight of his departure quote. 147 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: Neil and I discussed at length the article and its 148 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: implications for his role as the company's lead spokesman. I 149 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: thank him for his contributions to the Bowling Company. I 150 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: want to emphasize our company's unrelenting commitment to diversity and 151 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: inclusion in all his dimensions, and to ensure that all 152 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: of our employees have an equal opportunity to contribute a 153 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: hself close quote. Sadly, mister golightly was not given a 154 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: chance to immerse himself on all the dimensions of Bowling's 155 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: new woke inclusion strategy. He was, as this series says, 156 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: show time and again targeted, rooted out, and hold accountable form. 157 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 1: You no longer held views that no one seemed to 158 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: even notice or care about until now. Unfortunately, these are 159 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: just a few examples of how the radical left is 160 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: imposing in statilitarian control over business culture and punishing executives 161 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: and other figures who do not conform to the narrative. 162 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: The range of other examples of how people have lost 163 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: their jobs because there are different viewpoints, and we will 164 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: get to them in a series of episodes.
