And as we said before, we'll say 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: it again to all those men and women serving our country, 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: all those first responders and doctors and people that we're badges, 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 2: thank you for keeping us safe over the holidays. We 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: know your sacrifice and it has not gone unnoticed. Here, Senator, 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: We've got a lot to talk about, including a Jewish 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: USC professor who was barred from campus, targeted by anti 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: Israel activists with a doctored video. 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that in a moment. 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: Also going look at a whole other level leaked NSA 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: document revealing a massive glossary. We're going to deal with that, 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: plus other problems at Disney they're now facing consequences. And 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: on top of that, you have a Customs and Border 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: Patrol memo that ordered agents not to miss gender members 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: of the public. That's what the Biden administration's focused on 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: right now. Plus some not so great news for Joe 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: Biden with the economy. All that coming up in just 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: a moment. Before we get to that, I want to 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 2: go back to that big shocking story of this USC 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: professor who is Jewish. He has now been barred from campus. 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: He's been targeted by anti Israel activists with a doctored video. 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: And this is a story that if you are a listener, verdict, 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: we need your help to make sure that this goes viral. 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: Put this on social media, because it's time that we 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 2: stand with these professors that are being targeted and center. 29 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 2: I'll let you take it and fill people in from there. 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 3: Well, over the last two months, since October seventh, we 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 3: have seen anti Semitism spiking across the country, particularly on 32 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 3: college campuses, and it's a manifestation of the warped and 33 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: twisted leftist ideology that unfortunately has has grown and festered 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: on college campuses now for decades. We have seen students 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: being harassed across the count We have seen tragically at MIT, 36 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 3: Jewish students being prevented from going to class and the 37 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 3: administration doing nothing about it, refusing to punish the anti 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: Semitic protesters who are rassing the Jewish students. And the 39 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: reason MIT gave as well, those students are on student visas, 40 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: they're foreigners, and so if we expelled them they would 41 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: have their student visa revoke. So it really is an 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 3: astonishing willingness to bend over to woke ideology. But I 43 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: got to say, USC really takes the cake with this, 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: because we had seen students unable to go to campus. 45 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: Now at USC, we're seeing a professor unable to go 46 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: to campus. Professor John Strauss is an economics professor, and 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: he was walking by a protest, a pro Palestinian protest 48 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 3: organized by the USC Student Coalition Against Labor Exploitation, USC 49 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: Graduates for Palestine and the Trojans for Palestine, and Professor 50 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: Strauss is he walked past, commented, he said, ignorant, really ignorant, 51 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: and then one of the students engaged him, and the 52 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 3: professor added, quote, Hamas are murderers, that's all they are. 53 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: Everyone should be killed. I hope they all are. Now 54 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: what happened after that is people edited his quote and 55 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: they took out the reference to Hamas. They just took 56 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 3: the snippet everyone should be killed, I hope they all are. 57 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: And that snippet went viral. It got millions of views 58 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: on Twitter and it was characterized as the professor saying 59 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: that all Palestinians should be killed, which is of course 60 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: not what he said. He said Hamas are murderers, that's 61 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: who he said should be killed. Well, the consequence of that, unsurprisingly, 62 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: he's been subjected to threats of violence because of the 63 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: deliberate mischaracterization of what he said. But the university responded 64 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: not by saying we're going to protect you, Professor Strauss, 65 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: but instead by sending a letter to him directing him 66 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: that he must conduct all of his classes for the 67 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: remainder of. 68 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: The year. 69 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: Via zoom via distance learning, that he's not allowed to 70 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: physically be on campus. And the reason USC said was 71 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: quote to minimize disruption to the educational environment, to ensure 72 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: a safe environment for both you and students. It truly 73 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: is stunning that the administration at USC is so embraced 74 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: in the woke ideology, the ideology of colonialism, the ideology 75 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: that says Jews are the oppressors and Palestinians are the victims. 76 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 3: This is the Marxist lens that I talk about at 77 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: great length in my new book Unwoke. USC is so 78 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: embraced by that ideology that they're now telling their professor 79 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: not allowed on campus because you said, what is indisputably true, 80 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 3: is that Hamas are murderers and the Hamas terrorists should 81 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 3: be killed. 82 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: And to be clear, this is punishing this professor not 83 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: being able to go on to campus. That is also 84 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 2: not just a slap on the wrist to him and 85 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: clearly attacking him and what he is as a human 86 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: being being Jewish. But this is also sending a message 87 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: I would think to any other student that is Jewish 88 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: or that supports Israel, you better be careful what you 89 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: say on campus, because this is what we'll do with 90 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: a professor. Imagine what we would do to a student. 91 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: Well, and I'm hearing reports literally on a daily basis 92 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: from friends of mine who have kids in college who 93 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: are Jewish, and they're reporting that they fear for their safety. 94 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: They don't feel safe. And this is at Premier University's 95 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: Ivy League university, supposedly elite universities that virtually all of 96 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: them have embraced this leftist ideology and under their worldview, 97 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: they view Jews as evil Zionists. And so the universities, 98 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: too many of them, are unwilling to protect their students. 99 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: It is disgraceful, it is wrong, and I'll tell you 100 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: It's a moment of clarity for a lot of people 101 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: to see what is happening. 102 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: Because of the Left. 103 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 2: The world is in flames and Bidenomics is a complete 104 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: and total disaster. 105 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: But it can't and won't ruin my day. 106 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: You want to know why, because I start my day 107 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: with a hot America first cup of Blackout Coffee.

Let's start with. CBP had an internal 170 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: memo that was obtained by the Heritage Foundation that prohibits 171 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 3: agents from using he, him, she, or her pronouns when 172 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 3: initially interacting with members of the public. The memo goes 173 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 3: on to encourage agents to use quote a universal greeting 174 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: such as good morning or good evening in the initial greeting. Now, 175 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 3: Ben Pete's sake, our country is being invaded. Eight point 176 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 3: six million illegal immigrants have crossed into this country under 177 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. There are dead bodies every single day. There 178 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 3: are children being sexually assaulted, women being sexually assaulted. That 179 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand Americans died of drug overdoses last year. 180 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: Fentanyl is flooding into the country. And here's what the 181 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: Biden administration is telling CBP to be concerned about. 182 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: Quote. 183 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 3: If an incorrect pronoun is used and corrected by the individual, 184 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 3: acknowledge the oversight and use the correct pronoun. The memo 185 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: also lists quote key terms with deafisions next to each. Bisexual, gay, 186 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 3: gender expression, gender identity, gender non conforming, intersex, lesbian, non binary, queer, questioning, 187 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: sex assigned birth, sexual orientation, transgender, transgender woman, transgender man, 188 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: and transitioning are all listed. What in the hell are 189 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 3: these people doing? Ben, This is the border patrol is 190 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: supposed to be securing the border. Explained to me why 191 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: exactly they should be having a conversation with a human 192 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: traffick or a drug trafficker or an illegal alien. Excuse me, sir, 193 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: are you non binary? Like, what the hell does that 194 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 3: have to do with actually securing the border and doing 195 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 3: their job? And the answer is nothing, because they put 196 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: politics ahead of they don't want to secure the border. 197 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: So here's my question. 198 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: Is this at the feed of Maorchis is this the 199 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: feed of literally the Oval office in the President's desk 200 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: or is this some initiative coming from the Vice President's 201 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 2: office and she's supposed to be that the borders are 202 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 2: person I mean, how high does this go up for 203 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: them to go this woke on this type of a memo? 204 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, Look this started off with an executive 205 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: order from the White House directing every agency to elevate diversity, equity, 206 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 3: and inclusion above everything else, to ignore the law, to 207 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: ignore their job. It doesn't formally say that, It just 208 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 3: says this is the guiding priority of our agency. And 209 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: with respect to CBP, the political leadership may Orcus, We've 210 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: talked about this at length. Mayorcus does not intend to 211 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 3: does not want to enforce the law. He is not 212 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: trying to secure the border. He is trying to increase 213 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 3: the number of illegal aliens coming into this country. He's 214 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: trying to speed up the process. So I guess he 215 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 3: wants them to say, you know, good morning and then 216 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: have a conversation about their gender identity while shipping them 217 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: to every city in America. It truly is. It's a stunning, 218 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 3: screwed up priority that that is right at the heart 219 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: of where this administration is. 220 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: It also, though, I think, sends the message to Customs 221 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: and Border Patrol agents, we're not on your side, and 222 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: if you don't do what we tell you to do 223 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: and you actually do your job the right way, there 224 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: may be consequences for you doing your job. And if 225 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: you don't push our agenda items the way we're telling 226 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: you to do it will come after you, because that's 227 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 2: what I would get out of this. This is a shout 228 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: across the bow of every man and woman that's putting 229 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: their life on the line at the southern border to 230 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: basically say, you don't do your job the way you 231 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 2: think you do it, you do it the way we 232 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: tell you to. 233 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 3: Well, this Biden administration is an administration that is fundamentally unserious. 234 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 3: They're not serious about the goal of securing the border 235 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 3: because they don't want to secure the border. They want 236 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 3: it to be maximizing the number of illegal aliens. Unserious 237 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 3: about national security, and as a result, Biden inherited peace 238 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: and prosperity, and we've now got two wars waging across 239 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 3: the world right now as a result of their weakness. 240 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: And when you have federal agencies with serious, grave responsibilities 241 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: and you put political apparatics in charge who are not serious, 242 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: who are not up to the task, you end up 243 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: with number one not doing the job. They're therefore but 244 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 3: number two getting distracted by political priorities that have nothing 245 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: to do with the core mission. Another example you mentioned 246 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 3: the NSA, the National Security Administration. They prepared a thirty 247 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: four page colossary that they issued that that directs employees 248 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: to focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. And it includes 249 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 3: terms ranging from anti racists to z and zurr and 250 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 3: and it prove divides. It was published May sixth, twenty 251 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 3: twenty two, and it identifies itself as quote, a glossary 252 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: of terms and language commonly used in dialogue reversing regarding diversity, 253 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 3: equity and inclusion and social justice. And it cites critical 254 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 3: race theory advocates such as Robin DiAngelo and Ibram x kend. 255 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 3: It cites DiAngelo, and it defines white fragility. All right, 256 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 3: this is the NSA mind you defining white fragility as quote, 257 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: the state in which even a minimum amount of racial 258 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 3: stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves in 259 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: white people. It adds these behaviors function to reinstate white 260 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: racial equilibrium. There's also a definition of whiteness. Now you 261 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: might think whiteness means someone being white. No, no, no, no, 262 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 3: that would be too simplistic. According to the NSA, whiteness 263 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 3: is quote a broad social construction that embraces the white culture, history, ideology, 264 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 3: race expressions, experiences, epistemology, emotions, and behavior, all in order 265 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 3: to reap quote material, political, economic, and structural benefits for 266 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: those socially deemed white. This stuff is nonsense. It is garbage, 267 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: It is poison. And you know what it isn't national security, 268 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: which is what the NSA is supposed to be focusing on. 269 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're not focusing on that. And that is 270 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: something that has obviously come up with many people that 271 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: are concerned about national security and our southern border. You 272 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: and I have talked about this countless times, but there 273 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: are more concerns now than we've had probably since nine 274 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: to eleven. And yet when you hear that this isn't 275 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: just like a one page memo, this is a full 276 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: blown document, page. 277 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 3: Thirty four page page, thirty four pages. 278 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, do we have a thirty four page 279 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: memo on the on the on the number of people 280 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: that have come across the border to your knowledge center 281 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 2: that are on the terrorist watch list? Is there a 282 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: thirty four page memo on that? 283 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: Not that I know of? And let me ask, you know, 284 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: the jackasses that wrote this, the jackasses that are in 285 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: charge of enforcing these policies, how come nobody at the 286 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 3: NSA got signals intelligence on Hamas planning the biggest mass 287 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 3: murder of Jews since the Holocaust on October seventh, Maybe 288 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 3: because instead they were focused not only on critical race theory, 289 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: but also queer theory. And it defines queer theory if 290 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 3: you think this is Ben and me just making things up. 291 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 3: According to the NSA, queer theory is an approach quote 292 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 3: that critically deconstructs and challenges binaries such as male and 293 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: female or heterosexual and homosexual, and the DEI glossary then 294 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 3: goes on to list a whole bunch of words associated 295 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: with queer theory, like transmisogyny. What the hell is trans misogyny? Well, 296 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 3: hold on, hold a second, I've got I've got a 297 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 3: glossary here. So trans misogyny is the intersection of transphobia 298 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 3: and misogyny, ze and zero. Meanwhile, we're told they are 299 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 3: gender neutral pronouns that can be used instead of he, 300 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: she and his her, while two spirit is defined as quote, 301 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: a Native American term for an individual who identifies as 302 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: both male and female. Other terms defined in the glossary 303 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: include gender queer, afab amab, which means assigned female at birth, 304 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 3: assigned male at birth LATINX, which there is not a 305 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: single Latino or a Latino on the face of the 306 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 3: earth that uses that ridiculous term. Those are all woke, 307 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 3: rich white kids who want to show how woke they 308 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 3: are by insulting the Latino community. There's also quote same 309 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 3: gender loving, which is a term that serves quote as 310 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 3: a description for homosexuals who think that terms such as 311 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: gay and lesbian carry negative connotations. There's also demigender. All right, 312 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: let me stop you ben quiz what does demigender mean? 313 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: I'm a glossary. 314 00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no idea. 315 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: That's the part that I'm sitting here as you're going 316 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 2: through is I'm laughing because I'm like, how many sane 317 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: people would know any of these? 318 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want you to stop if you're listening to 319 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 3: the podcast and literally ask yourself, if you were in 320 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: taking a test, could you define the word demi gender? 321 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 3: I couldn't. I don't know dem moore, she's like a 322 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: really hot woman. Is that demi gender? No? No, no, no, 323 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 3: demi gender? And it has variations. It has demi boy 324 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 3: and demi girl, although who knows what's a boy and 325 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 3: who knows what's a girl? And what it says is 326 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: it's defined as quote having a partial connection to one 327 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 3: or more genders. Ah, the joys of making this up. 328 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 3: But by the way, not only does this do ridiculous 329 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 3: critical race theory and queer theory by its own terms, 330 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 3: it also blasts the founding of the United States of America. 331 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 3: And it has a definition of quote settler colonialism. We 332 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 3: were talking in the first story about usc going after 333 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 3: and punish their own Jewish professor because they view Jews 334 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 3: and they view Americans as settler colonialists. Well, here's the 335 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: NSA's definition. Quote settler colonialism typically includes oppressive governance and 336 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: enforcement of codes of superiority. And then it says examples 337 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: include white European occupation of land in what is now 338 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 3: the United States. So I want you to understand this 339 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 3: is the friggin National Security Administration. By the way, has 340 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 3: anyone there wondered what the word national refers to, like, 341 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 3: what nation are they working for? Because apparently they think 342 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 3: the founding of land that is now the United States 343 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 3: is an example of oppressive governance and settler colonialism. And 344 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 3: by the way, the solution, according to the NSA, it 345 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 3: says white Europeans are guilty of colonialism, and it defines 346 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: decolonize as a process quote that requires a recognition of 347 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 3: systems of oppression in order to unlearn values, beliefs, and 348 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: conceptions that have caused physical, emotional, or mental harm to 349 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: people through colonialization. At the same time, it defines white 350 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 3: privilege as quote an unquestioned and unlearned set of advantages, entitlements, benefits, 351 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 3: and choices bestowed on people solely because they are white. 352 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: This is garbage and it's not our national security. As 353 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: you noted, the CVP is not allowed to secure the 354 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 3: border because they're having to figure out the sexual orientation 355 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 3: of human traffickers and drug traffickers instead of stopping them 356 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: and arresting them. And now the NSA is not looking 357 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: for terrorists because they're busy worrying about settler colonialism and 358 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 3: queer theory. This is an administration that is fundamentally unseerious 359 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 3: and consumed with woke leftist politics. 360 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you want to you know, it's bad 361 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: enough we see it in the private sector, but when 362 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: you see our government doing it and then not doing 363 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: their job, especially when it comes to national security issues, 364 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: it's truly terrifying because the consequences are death and destruction 365 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: when you get it wrong. 366 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 3: Look, that is exactly right. And I want to give credit. 367 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: I want to give credit to the Daily Wire because 368 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: the Daily Wire broke this story. It's an article by 369 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: Spencer Linquest that published published this glossary. It would not 370 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 3: be public if it were not for the Daily Wire. 371 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: And this You literally read it, and I would say 372 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 3: it reads like a Saturday Night Live satire. Yeah, but 373 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 3: Saturday Night Live would never make fun of this because 374 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 3: they're too afraid, they're too woke. By the way, one 375 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 3: of the other things it defines is quote eurocentric, which 376 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: states quote most use this term with a clear awareness 377 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 3: of the historic oppressiveness of Eurocentric tendencies in US and 378 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 3: European societies. The phrase critical race theory references quote the 379 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: intersectional intersectionality of race and racism, and its supposed aim 380 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 3: is to quote pose a challenge to dominant ideology. There 381 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 3: is nothing about this that is national security. And by 382 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 3: the way, if you want to know what the NSA 383 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: is supposed to do, from the NSA's own website, let 384 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 3: me read you their mission. The National Security Agency slash 385 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 3: Central Security Service leads the US government in cryptology that 386 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 3: encompasses both signals, intelligence insights, and cybersecurity products and services, 387 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 3: and enables a computer network operations to gain a decisive 388 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 3: advantage for the nation and our allies. That is its mission. 389 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: In other words, it is spying electronically on our enemies, 390 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 3: on terrorists, on people seeking to murder Americans. And what 391 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: are they doing instead? They are being driven by the 392 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: Biden Whitehouse's obsession with leftist, woke politics. 393 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: It's cyber Monday and your probably looking for great deals. Well, 394 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 2: how would you like to save money and get a 395 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: great deal on your cell phone service all year long, 396 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 2: not just on cyber Monday.

I'm talking about Patriot Mobile, And for ten 401 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 2: years now, this is what Patriot Mobile has been doing. 402 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: Why did Patriot Mobile start? They started because they found 403 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: out where Big Mobile was sending money. They were sending 404 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 2: it to Planned Parenthood. They were sending it to Democratic 405 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 2: candidates and hardcore leftist organizations. So, if you're tired of 406 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 2: giving your mind to woke companies, then you need to 407 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 2: make the switch to Patriot Mobile.

Check out a great 426 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 2: American company, Patriot Mobile on this Cyber Monday, nine seven 427 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 2: to two Patriot or Patriot Mobile dot com slash vertict Center. 428 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: You're we're talking obviously about what's happening with these two 429 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: different organizations within our government, but there's also something that 430 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: happened at Disney. 431 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: Well, that's right, and this is the third of our 432 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 3: woke triumvirate in terms of facing the consequences for their ideology, 433 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: which is that Disney recently filed its its annual SEC report, 434 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: a report that every public company is required to file, 435 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 3: and here's what they were forced to publicly disclose. 436 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: Quote. 437 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 3: We face risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer 438 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 3: tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel, and consumer products. And 439 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 3: it goes on to note, quote the success of our 440 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: businesses depends on our ability to consistently create compelling content. 441 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: Quote. 442 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 3: Generally, our revenues and profitability are adversely impacted when our 443 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 3: entertainment offerings and products, as well as our methods to 444 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 3: make our offerings and products available consumers, do not achieve 445 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 3: sufficient consumer acceptance. Further, consumers' perceptions of our positions on 446 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: matters of public interest, including our efforts to achieve certain 447 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 3: of our environmental and social goals, often differ widely and 448 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 3: present risks to our reputation and brands. Now, that is 449 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 3: one of the most stunning corporate disclosures I've ever read, 450 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: because what that means is number one, Disney has lost 451 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 3: billions of dollars the phrase go broke. Disney has sadly 452 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 3: embodied that phrase. I am sure Walt Disney is spinning 453 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 3: in his grave and horrors at what has happened to 454 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: his namesake. But the fact that they put this in 455 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 3: their sec disclosures means number one, the money they're losing 456 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: is so significant. Number two, their projections for future money 457 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 3: that they're going to lose are so significant that they're 458 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 3: lawyers said, damn it, you have to acknowledge this in 459 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: the disclosure or else you will be sued for misleading investors. 460 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: In other words, we must write these words so that 461 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 3: when investors sue us and say, your executives are putting 462 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: your woke politics ahead of profitability, ahead of producing entertainment 463 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 3: that consumers want, ahead of actually producing family friendly entertainment 464 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 3: that kids are interested in, and parents want their kids 465 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 3: to see that your politics matters more to you than 466 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 3: making the business successful. They want to be able to 467 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: point to this disclosure and say no, no, sorry, you invested, 468 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 3: and we told you upfront, we don't care about making 469 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: a buck. Our politics is all we care about. And 470 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 3: even if it if it flushes the corporate profits down, 471 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 3: debt down the commode. 472 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: You know, we've had this debate at my house three boys, 473 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: and we've talked about Disney, and I said to my wife, 474 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: we had a a grand debate over it. I'm not 475 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: giving my money to Disney. I'm not going to Disney. 476 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: I'm not going to take them to Disney because I 477 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 2: believe them when they tell me what their agenda is, 478 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: and now it's in their financial disclosures. 479 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: This is their agenda. 480 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: And I say this over and over again when having 481 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: this debate over things like Disney and Wokee companies. Believe 482 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: them when they put it in writing, Believe them they 483 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 2: when they publish it, Believe them when they produce it, 484 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: Believe them when they promote it. This is Disney saying 485 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: all along, Yes, this is exactly what we're trying to 486 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,479 Speaker 2: do with your kids' minds. Yes, we are trying to 487 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: use what used to be just innocent entertainment that you 488 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 2: could trust your kid in front of Disney Channel or 489 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: Disney Movies. You no longer should have that trust with them, 490 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: and they put it in writing. 491 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 3: Well, that's right. But look, there's reason to draw optimism 492 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 3: from this third example, which is is that that for 493 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 3: many woke corporations, I think they they are feeling the 494 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 3: heat and they're trying to change direction. You look at CEO, 495 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 3: the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger. They brought him back 496 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 3: because Disney was in such a world of hurt. They 497 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 3: had screwed it up so badly that Bob Ayer came 498 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 3: back and he is seeking in his own words to 499 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 3: quote quiet things down after putting politics front and center. Now, 500 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: Iigre presumably signed off on this corporate disclosure, and that 501 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: may be a consequence of trying to pivot Disney back. Now. 502 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 3: They're not doing a great job of it because the 503 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 3: problem is that they have built a culture where their 504 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 3: executives are invested in in this woke ideology. And this 505 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 3: is something I discussed at great length in the book 506 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 3: on Woke. I talk about Disney at great length. I 507 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 3: talk about bud Light, I talk about Target, but I 508 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 3: talk about how all three of them, Disney, bud Light, 509 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 3: and Target lost billions and billions of dollars and number one. 510 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 3: It's had an impact on all three but number two, 511 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,479 Speaker 3: and this is where you should be encouraged. It is, 512 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 3: I hope and believe, a powerful deterrent for other CEO 513 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 3: and other corporations that are sitting there saying I don't 514 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 3: want to be bud Light, I don't want to be Target, 515 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 3: I don't want to be Disney. And now Disney, according 516 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 3: to its own corporate disclosure, Disney is saying I don't 517 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: want to be Disney. That may be promising and optimistic 518 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 3: for the future. 519 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope that people continue to vote with their dollars. 520 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: We're talking about cyber Monday, and there's so many people 521 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: that right now are looking at where they're spending their money, 522 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: probably more than we've had in quite some time, and 523 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: that's a good thing.
