The hour grows late, and Matt the Grey-Haired rides once more from his quiet study, summoned by whispers from the ever-churning gurusphere. And so he goes, to seek counsel with Chris the Grey-Bearded, keeper of receipts, watcher of long-form content, and wielder of the sacred Gurometer. For the gurus stir again… and their nonsense must be decoded.Supplementary Material 48: Grey Beard's Council, Late-Stage Anti-Capitalism, and Demonic Mould Health Updates00:00 Greetings Old Friend02:22 Decoding the Gamers04:16 A Reckoning with Old Grey Hair06:19 Joe Rogan determining US Medical Approvals12:15 The Fall of Orban and the Silence of the Heterodox World17:09 The Hypocrisy of Peter Boghossian19:52 Dave Rubin and other Tenet Media Stooges21:43 The Dugin, Jiang and Sneako Brain Trust discuss the ultra-hyper-globalists.28:58 Trump attacks Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, & Megyn Kelly32:39 A Return to Weinstein World33:00 Bret's Moon Landing Conspiracies39:03 Eric and his Silicon Friend are still having problems42:47 Hasan Piker Discourse54:33 The Radicalisation Funnel?01:00:14 Hasan on Ukraine01:03:21 Hasan doing China apologetics01:14:03 More Apologetics01:16:37 Hasan on the Vietnamese MAGA supporter01:23:41 What about Destiny?01:26:58 Yale is full of Snakes and Badgers01:33:17 Micro Looting from the Corporations01:41:36 Cenk Uyghur's Rent Gouging Credentials01:44:47 Social Murder and Selective "Understanding"01:54:26 Late-Stage Capitalist Anti-Capitalism 01:56:22 Tucker Carlson is Selling Russell Brand's Guide to Becoming a Christian02:00:33 Sean Hannity chooses Trump over his Catholicism02:04:18 Russell Brand and the spiritual marketplace02:05:48 Postmodern Conservatism02:07:28 Taking a Long View02:10:14 AI Bouldering Gym Cages02:11:30 Taylor Lorenz is making good points on Twitter!02:19:52 Taylor's controversial take: AI is useful02:21:36 Adam Conover engages in revisionist history on tech02:24:14 Rotary Telephones and Typewriter Experiences02:26:41 The Onion takeover of Infowars?02:31:28 Knowledge Fight's Concerns02:35:56 Jordan Peterson Health Update02:40:07 Endlessly Misdiagnosed by "Experts"02:44:32 The Dietary Cures02:47:20 Experimental Stem Cell Treatments02:50:04 Pageau blames Peterson's lack of faith03:00:14 Letting the Pressure Out03:01:07 Outro03:02:01 We Must Join with the MouldThe full episode is available to Patreon subscribers (3 hours, 3 minutes).Join us at: https://www.patreon.com/DecodingTheGurusLinksJoe Rogan crowing about his role in the White House executive order on IbogaineFact Check of Rogan's claims on PolitiFactPancreatic cancer mRNA trial update: NBC report on six-year follow-upArticle on NIH grant cancellations/funding cuts at Washington PostAPHA release on lawsuit over politically driven grant terminationsBan on DEI words, including "polarization" by DOGEBBC Article on Orbán's lossBoghossian dodges criticism of Hungary in HardTalk interviewBoghossian avoids dealing with protests in HungaryDugin / Sneako / Professor Jiang interviewTrump attacks Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn KellyBret Weinstein's moon landing / Artemis clip highlighted by Bad StatsEric Weinstein's tweets on commercial AI and theoretical physicsTucker Carlson's promotion for Russell Brand's new Christian-themed bookEzra Klein on Hasan Piker: RealClearPolitics mirror of the New York Times columnConduit: I Spent ONE WEEK Watching Hasan Piker ‪, And This Is What I LearnedA generational divide over Trump among Vietnamese-Americans – BBC NewsHasan reacts to the Vietnamese-American documentaryTwitter Thread with most of the viral Hasan clipsNoahpinion: Hasan Piker is bad for the DemocratsHasan's Yale Debate on YouTubeYair Rosenberg's article on the Atlantic: The Problem With Hasan Piker's Einstein StoryNYT: ‘The Rich Don't Play by the Rules.

If you took that $25 billion and distributed it directly to the workforce = $1,562,500 per employeeAlternatively: They could fund a $100,000 annual salary for 250,000 new people for an entire year.Customers: Netflix has roughly 325 million subscribers globally. If they decided to use that money to subsidize the service instead of buying back stock: $77 per person.Netflix could give every subscriber on the planet roughly 4 to 5 months of service for free.Or, they could lower the price of every subscription by about $6.40 per month for a full year.Social impact:Various estimates (including from HUD) suggest that ending homelessness in the US would cost roughly $20 billion to $30 billion.It could provide a full four-year scholarship (at an average cost of $100k total) to 250,000 students.It could fund the eradication of several neglected tropical diseases or provide clean water infrastructure for tens of millions of people globally.For perspective, the entire annual budget for NASA in 2025 was around $25 billion. Netflix is essentially spending one "National Space Program" worth of cash just to tweak its stock price.Shareholders:If Netflix successfully retires that 6.4% of shares and the market maintains its current valuation, the stock price should mathematically rise by about 7% to compensate for the reduced supply.If the price jumps 7% (from $93 to roughly $99.50), here is the wealth jump:Vanguard: $2.5BBlackRock: $2.1BFidelity: $1.4BReed Hastings: $138MGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Lufthansa Cuts 20,000 Flights to Save Fuel Amid Iran War Price SurgeMM: The Onion Says It Has Again Struck a Deal to Take Over InfowarsMM: Texas Capital stays incorporated in Delaware after shareholders reject 'Dexit' voteAre investors waking up???

Schools around the country are shuttering their Black studies departments—often without regulatory prompting. Jafari S. Allen is a professor of African American and African diaspora studies at Columbia University. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why schools, now admitting less Black students than before DEI crackdowns, are blaming low enrollment for shutting down these departments, and why these cuts are often preemptive, before any penalties are incurred. His article “The Erasure of Black Studies” was published in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

The Trump administration has been very candid about their disdain for all things DEI. But it's not just conservatives who have critiques. On this episode, we're talking to Jennifer C. Pan, author of Selling Social Justice: Why the Rich Love Antiracism, about why she thinks people on the left should be skeptical of DEI programs as well. We get into how DEI programs are frequently used as a tool for large corporations to assert their moral authority — without actually sacrificing their bottom line, or improving conditions for workers writ large.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ryan Wilson. Co-founder and CEO of The Gathering Spot (TGS), joins host Rushion McDonald to discuss his entrepreneurial journey, the creation and expansion of The Gathering Spot, and the broader mission of building community, economic opportunity, and cultural pride for Black professionals and creatives. Wilson explains that while TGS officially opened in Atlanta in 2016, the idea began years earlier when he was a law student in Washington, D.C. What started as a reimagining of the traditional private city club became a national platform combining community, collaboration, events, workspaces, and eventually fintech tools. Despite major obstacles—most notably being rejected by 97 potential investors—Wilson persisted, driven by a clear sense of purpose and belief in the unmet needs of Black and minority communities. The conversation highlights Atlanta’s importance as the launch city, the power of community-driven spaces, and the need to move beyond performative diversity efforts toward sustainable, scalable Black-owned businesses. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview is to: Inspire entrepreneurs, especially young and underrepresented founders, to pursue their ideas despite resistance. Explain the mission and impact of The Gathering Spot as more than a coworking space—positioning it as a cultural, economic, and social hub. Encourage long-term thinking about Black business growth, community wealth, and access to financial tools. Provide real-world lessons about fundraising, resilience, leadership, and community building. Key Takeaways 1. Success Is a Process, Not an Overnight Event Wilson emphasizes that The Gathering Spot took years of planning, pitching, and rejection before launching. The popular narrative of “instant success” hides the real work required. Takeaway: Consistency and belief matter more than early validation. 2. Rejection Can Be a Signal You’re Early—Not Wrong Wilson was told “no” 97 times before securing his first investor. Instead of discouragement, he saw rejection as proof that he was pursuing something others couldn’t yet see. Takeaway: If everyone understands your idea immediately, you might not be pushing far enough. 3. Atlanta Was a Strategic and Cultural Choice Atlanta was selected because of its Black leadership, business ecosystem, cultural influence, and sense of communal support. Wilson describes the city as both big and intimate—ideal for relationship building. Takeaway: Location matters, especially when building community-centered businesses. 4. The Gathering Spot Is About Belonging and Pride TGS intentionally celebrates Black culture while remaining open to all. The experience is designed to feel warm, affirming, and professional—something many members had never encountered in adult spaces. Takeaway: Spaces are never neutral; design should be intentional about who feels welcomed and valued. 5. Community Is the Product While TGS offers buildings, events, restaurants, and workspaces, Wilson is clear that the network is the real value—introducing people who otherwise may never meet. Takeaway: Relationships create opportunity faster than resources alone. 6. Fintech Is About Real Access, Not Just Education Wilson explains that after years of hosting conversations about money and wealth, TGS realized the next step was providing actual financial tools, not just dialogue. Takeaway: Empowerment requires both knowledge and access. 7. DEI Without Results Is Performative Wilson and McDonald discuss the post-2020 slowdown in corporate DEI efforts. Wilson challenges organizations to focus less on optics and more on outcomes—specifically business scale and job creation. Takeaway: The goal isn’t to “look good losing,” but to win sustainably. Notable Quotes On rejection: “It was 97 people that told us no in a row before we got to our first yes.” On purpose: “My mission is to connect people. I’m a community builder.” On fear and timing: “I didn’t want to have any regrets about not trying.” On intentional design: “I was thinking about Black folks when we were building The Gathering Spot.” On DEI efforts: “Do you really want to win or look good losing?” On scale and impact: “It’s not enough to start Black-owned businesses—we have to watch them grow.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Suzi speaks with Kate Levin, Janis Yue, and Sanjay Madhav, lead organizers of United Faculty-UAW, about their unionization drive at the University of Southern California (USC), one that would create the largest bargaining unit of non-tenure-track faculty at a private university in the US. Ballots go out April 24 and will be counted on May 18. The organizers describe two years of faculty-driven organizing, built one conversation at a time. Currently 75% of USC faculty are non-tenure-track, with no job security, no say over working conditions, and no recourse against healthcare cuts or wage freezes — the result of 40 years of academic corporatization. Now they're fighting back. USC's response? The administration has chosen to deploy the same constitutional wrecking-ball legal playbook pushed by SpaceX/Amazon, arguing that the NLRB itself is unconstitutional. No other university has taken such an extreme position. This is more than a labor story; it's an account of the assault on democratic institutions, the NLRB, worker rights, and higher education itself at a moment when universities are under attack from federal funding cuts and DEI rollbacks. USC's non-tenure-track faculty are fighting not just for a contract but for the principle that workers can organize at all. The organizers highlight the inspiration drawn from the successful NYU contract, and explain why winning this election in this political moment could change academic labor nationwide. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Send us Fan MailIn the first solo politics episode of Surviving Ish, host David Keck shares how he once felt detached from elections but says Donald Trump and the MAGA movement changed that, which he frames as a moral crisis rather than normal politics. He compares MAGA to the biblical golden calf story, describing it as cult-like worship that has led to rights being threatened and changed. David explains his goal to translate political headlines and jargon into plain language, sometimes with experts, and invites listeners to email questions for future topics, including a planned deep dive into the Epstein files. He criticizes how “DEI” is used by MAGA, argues ICE agents are the real “DEI hires,” and condemns family separation and abuses in detention centers, stating he has no grace for those who only care once policies affect them while remaining open to respectful disagreement. #SurvivingIshPolitics #TruthUnveiled #MAGA #republican #democrat #politicsSupport the show

I am just vibrating with excitement after my chat with Aiko Bethea ! If you've followed her work as I have, you know she's basically the gold standard for building cultures that actually mean something . We got into the nitty-gritty of her new book, Anchored, Aligned, and Accountable, and let me tell you, it is the blueprint we need right now . I even got a little unplanned coaching session myself—turns out, even after years in the DEI space, I'm still a recovery fixer trying to work my way out of every hard feeling . Aiko gently called me out on that toxic productivity narrative we've all been fed since we were kids . It's time to stop responding to everyone else's agenda and start leading from the inside out . Key Themes from the Conversation The Power of Personal Values as an Anchor Aiko emphasizes that identifying two or three core values acts as a physical tether, preventing leaders from being swept away by external pressures or "ick" feelings they can't quite name . Finding out what was most important to them, which I name in the book as identifying their values, being anchored into their values... helped them to close that gap, and to make key changes in how they were showing up. Identifying and Challenging Bullshit Narratives The framework encourages leaders to interrogate "bullshit"—the unexamined, default beliefs inherited from family or workplace cultures that often prioritize productivity or defensiveness over authenticity . I want people to think, says who? And how would I want it to be, or need it to be, to be anchored? Intrinsic Motivation vs. External Approval True inclusive leadership isn't about being a "good guy" or seeking external glorification; it is about self-awareness and aligning one's actions with one's aspirational self . It's going to be about, wow, how does this leave me sitting, or feeling, and... if I... my aspirational self was this, what would I do differently? The Necessity of Meaningful, Public Accountability When a leader makes a mistake, a private "I'll do better" isn't enough to shift a culture; it requires a specific, humble apology that acknowledges the impact on the team . When he did a very specific apology that was public about what he did... whoa, shifts everything, because now people see, oh man, he's showing up differently... he realized this behavior isn't okay. Actionable Takeaway Start your own self-interrogation by identifying one "should" in your professional life. Ask yourself, says who? If that belief doesn't align with your core values, give yourself the grace to drop the behavior and replace it with an action that feels anchored .

Before Ohio holds its primary, the presumptuous GOP candidate for Governor Vivek Ramaswamy is running a negative ad against the presumptive Democrat candidate Dr. Amy Acton. Ramaswamy's ad attempts to gaslight voters about Acton's role as the Director of the Ohio Department of Health at the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020. The ad falsely claims Acton acted outside her authority to postpone the March 2020 primary election. Ohio Republicans have been wanting voters to forget the truth of their inaction during the pandemic and undermining the state's response for political reasons since 2020.We look at Ohio Representative Josh Williams who is the only black Republican in the Ohio House and he is running for Congress in Ohio's 9th District. He claims DEI and affirmative action keep the Black community stuck in poverty and he vocally supports anti-abortion stances, often echoing sentiments that appeal to a predominantly white anti-abortionist base like repeating the false and harmful narrative of abortion as a form of genocide within the Black community. Williams should be the last person holding negative views about policies and programs that give a hand up out of poverty since he himself needed and used that help when he was bed ridden for six years and had no high school diploma yet is now a lawyer and teaches law at a local college while serving as a state representative.Finally we look at the fight between President Trump and the Pope. It is particularly striking that figures like Trump and JD Vance, especially Vance's recent conversion to Catholicism, feel emboldened to critique religious authorities, including the Pope, on theological grounds that contradict their own political alignments. This speaks to a broader trend of politicization of religion where moral authority is wielded selectively. We see that politicization in every level of government from the local to the federal. It is a trend that needs to be stopped.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us Fan MailSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Newt talks with Wayne Crews, the Fred L. Smith Fellow in Regulatory Studies at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. His work explores the impact of government regulation of free enterprise. They discuss CEI’s annual report “Ten Thousand Commandments: An Annual Snapshot of the Federal Regulatory State.” Crews argues that rising federal spending and regulation move together, citing post-COVID laws such as the CARES Act, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act as examples of “hyper-regulatory” spending that expands the administrative state even before agencies write rules. Crews contends that government is ill-suited to pick market winners, set prices, or manage sectors like energy and finance, and that market forces—suppliers, customers, investors, media, and civil society—already discipline firms without heavy-handed regulation. He stresses that rejecting overregulation does not mean “no regulation,” but rather preferring competitive over political discipline. Crews warns that massive federal spending has weakened the coalition for regulatory reform by aligning businesses, governors, and mayors with Washington through funded mandates and programmatic strings tied to priorities like DEI, climate, and the “care economy.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.Factum est autem, cum haec diceret : extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti. 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.

n this episode, we confront one of the most common misconceptions about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: the idea that it lowers standards. Using the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, we examine how systemic barriers, not lack of ability, have historically limited access to opportunity. Despite facing segregation, the Airmen trained under rigorous military standards and went on to become one of the most successful fighter escort groups of World War II. We also break down modern arguments against DEI and challenge them with data, including research showing that racial discrimination has cost the U.S. economy trillions in lost productivity and growth. This episode reframes the conversation: DEI is not about giving unearned advantages. It's about ensuring qualified people are not excluded. Because when access expands, excellence doesn't decline. It reveals itself. Sources  NPR / Citigroup Study "Racial inequality has cost the U.S. economy $16 trillion over the last 20 years."

“If something feels wrong, trust your gut.” – Brittany StevensIn this week's episode, Carol Schultz sits down with employment attorney Brittany Stevens (Partner at Phillips & Associates) to unpack the realities of sexual harassment, workplace discrimination, and power dynamics—and what leaders can do to create workplaces where people feel safe speaking up.Brittany explains how harassment is defined under the law (and why it often differs from what people assume), why so many cases come down to evidence and “totality of circumstances,” and how fear of retaliation keeps employees silent—especially when the harasser holds power. They discuss what strong workplace policies and training should actually include, why some organizations make it hard to report, and how employees can protect themselves when a company is focused on protecting itself. The episode closes with practical guidance for both leaders and employees on building safer systems, documenting issues, and knowing when to seek confidential legal advice.TakeawaysSexual harassment isn't always “obvious”—many cases are subtle and pattern-based.Legal definitions of harassment/discrimination vary across federal, state, and city laws.Power imbalances (boss vs. employee) make reporting feel risky and unsafe.Fear of retaliation is one of the biggest reasons people stay silent.Documentation and internal complaints can significantly strengthen a case.Many companies fail by not having clear reporting policies or trusted processes.Leaders must train managers not only on behavior—but on how to respond to complaints.Discrimination can happen anywhere—industry, company size, and role don't matter.Some terminations get “hidden” behind restructuring or reductions in force.Consulting a law firm can be a confidential way to understand your options.Chapters00:00 Intro: The taboo topic—sexual harassment & workplace safety00:49 What Brittany's firm does (employee-side discrimination law)02:19 Why the firm was founded & what motivates this work02:50 Defining harassment vs. what people think harassment is04:28 Harassment isn't always sexual: hostile work environments & protected classes05:15 Evidence, documentation, and why cases are fact-dependent06:16 Power dynamics: why “just say no” isn't realistic07:43 What victims can do when they fear repercussions08:25 Why policies and reporting systems often fail (or don't exist)10:40 Vetting employers: red flags, lawsuits, and research before accepting jobs11:13 DEI changes and what may shift over time12:01 Discrimination happens everywhere (yes—even “good” companies)13:00 What leaders should do: training, reporting, investigations, real support15:54 Women vs. men: patterns Brittany sees in harassment and discrimination cases16:46 Disability/medical termination & “restructuring” as a cover18:35 How Phillips & Associates evolved and expanded over time20:05 Growth bottlenecks: why jurisdiction/laws matter21:21 Why expand into less employee-friendly states like Florida22:58 Client trust: the importance of fast support and connection23:54 Internal training: listening, empathy, and handling emotional calls26:10 Choosing a path: quiet resolution vs. litigation27:03 How to find the firm & their contingency model29:24 Final thoughts: protecting yourself when the company protects itselfConnect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram.Want to be our next guest expert?

Host Alex Usher speaks with Daniel Collier and Michael Kofoed about the uncertain status and evolving role of the U.S. Department of Education under the Trump administration. They unpack why the department still exists despite efforts to dismantle it, and what that reveals about the limits of executive power. The conversation explores key policy shifts around student aid, accreditation, and DEI, and how legally fragile or unclear directives are shaping institutional behaviour across higher education. They also examine major changes to student loan repayment, including the move to a new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), and what it means for borrowers. Collier and Kofoed reflect on the risks of governing through executive action and how upcoming political shifts could reshape the future of federal higher education policy.

DEIAB and Educational Interpreting with Christina StevensChristine interviews Christina Stevens, a nationally certified sign language interpreter working mainly in Connecticut public schools for nine years, with degrees in American Sign Language and Theater and leadership roles in state and national interpreter organizations. She shares how she discovered interpreting in college through theater performances, later attending Columbia College Chicago, and ultimately becoming an educational interpreter despite initially thinking she would not. Stevens discusses boundaries and the central role interpreters play for students, noting that about 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents and about 50% of those parents learn sign language, affecting home communication. Stevens advocates expanding DEI to “DEIAB” (Accessibility and Belonging), emphasizing early budgeting, bringing Deaf people to planning tables, and recognizing different interpreting approaches. She encourages learning ASL from Deaf or native users through community involvement.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:01 How Christina Found ASL01:56 Training and Career Path02:57 Why School Interpreting Is Hard03:58 Classroom Visit and Book Talk04:49 Day to Day Interpreter Role06:42 DEIAB Accessibility and Belonging09:00 Deaf Awareness and Learning ASL10:35 Final Thoughts and Thanks

She's the author of Age Against the Machine, a chartered psychologist with a background in recruitment and a passionate voice on ageism, work and the realities of longer working lives.

Trail Life USA CEO Mark Hancock says you don't do men's ministry 'at' men but 'with' men. He shares the original intent of this biblically based scouting program—started because of the Boy Scouts allowing homosexual leaders, adding girls, and promoting a DEI focus. We also hear from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on why the Boy Scouts' affiliation with his department is at risk and what they can do and gives Trail Life a shout-out!

- Trump launches a blockade on Iranian shipping, escalating pressure fast after failed red-line talks and turning the Strait of Hormuz into the next major battlefield.  - Eric Swalwell's political career detonates after sexual-assault allegations, explicit behavior, and past hypocrisy collide all at once, forcing him out of the California governor's race.  - Democrats are accused of knowing for years that Swalwell was reckless and predatory, only abandoning him once he becomes too toxic to win statewide. - Kamala Harris all but signals another presidential run, while Mark Kelly leans into race-conscious DEI rhetoric so hard it sounds like parody. - New York's slide under Zohran Mamdani gets darker as a cop is sent to prison for trying to stop a fleeing drug dealer, reinforcing the sense that criminals get mercy while police get crushed.

What does it mean to build truly inclusive futures—both here on Earth and beyond the stars? In this episode, we explore the powerful intersection of representation, storytelling, and leadership with Dan Deevy, a producer, host, journalist, and nonprofit founder who has spent more than 25 years advocating for inclusion across Hollywood, science fiction, and the space industry. The conversation is grounded in timely and sobering realities: over three‑quarters of LGBTQ+ adults say they would view a company less favorably if it abandoned its DEI commitments; 16% of LGBT workers report experiencing workplace discrimination or harassment; and barely more than half of gay actors feel safe being open about their sexuality with their agents. According to research from the SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.) At the same time, a strong majority of Americans (69% to 72%) believe continued leadership in space exploration is essential—raising an important question: Who gets to be included as we shape humanity's future among the stars? Dan shares how fandom, science fiction, and community‑driven storytelling can be powerful tools for cultural change. As the founder of GAAAYS IN SPAAACE and the creator of the Galactic Diversity & Inclusion Convention, Dan works to ensure underrepresented voices are not only seen but celebrated—in speculative worlds and real‑world industries alike.

Add up a corrupt admissions system, a corrupt DEI industry, a corrupt therapeutic curriculum, a corrupt method of grading and a corrupt, politicized faculty, and it's no wonder the Ivy League is in crisis and higher education is in panic. Harvard, with the help of the state of Massachusetts, whose Democrat governor is an alumnus, hopes to issue $675 million in tax-exempt bonds as applications took a 21% dive for the 2025-26 academic year, according to the Washington Free Beacon. This, coupled with rising. “grade inflation”—more and more professors giving out A's to unqualified students—has many asking right now: Are America's preeminent institutions of higher learning still worth their salt? Probably not, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” By that I mean, I went to a rural high school. It wasn't that competitive, Selma High School. They would just say, “If Victor Hanson applies to Harvard, and he has an A, it's the same A as somebody from Sacred Heart Prep School in Palo Alto, where the curriculum was much more difficult.” And they did that, and the result was they had students who could not do the work, and the faculty was confronted with the dilemma. They either had to water down the curriculum. Or they had to introduce new therapeutic courses, or they had to give 60% or 70% of the people A's, and they could do all three at the same time, which they did.

New York's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani just signed an emergency order locking Americans out of freely celebrating the 250th anniversary of America in Times Square because the World Cup matters more than the July 4th ball drop. No big crowds for the country that invented freedom of assembly, but endless migrant shelters and anti-white “equity” offices get a free pass. This isn't about safety; it's by design from a mayor with open contempt for American pride, love, and hope. While the left screams “racist” at anyone waving the flag, they push DEI, CRT, and “racial equity” departments that openly discriminate against whites. Joe rips the mask off: this is straight-up hatred for the nation that gave them the platform to hate it.Then the hypocrisy explodes. MSNBC's Joy Reid claims “whites can't invent anything” — while sitting in air-conditioning, using a phone, speaking English, and promoting her show on devices powered by white ingenuity. Patrick lists the receipts: Gutenberg's printing press, Edison's light bulb, Bell's telephone, the Wright brothers' airplane, Fleming's penicillin, Ford's assembly line, and more — inventions that built the modern world she mocks. Meanwhile, an entire generation of 18-30 white males is being deliberately softened: endless gaming, weed, porn, no families, no drive. Schools fuel it with “day of silence” rituals, transgender propaganda, non-binary teacher intros, and politicians like Texas Dem James Talarico claiming cops in schools create “violence.” It's not random; it's the engineered collapse of the very men who built this country.This division is the Marxist playbook in action. Democrat Sen. Ed Markey preaches “immigrants have a right to dignity,” while illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers $150.7 billion net every year money that could house the homeless, treat addiction, fix schools, or improve roads for actual Americans. Yet refugees? Nearly 100% from South Africa's white farmers facing genocide and land seizures. Republicans get painted as heartless for wanting legal process, while the system rigs everything against citizens. Joe brings the red pills, exposes the two realities we're forced to live in, and shows why both sides' gridlock serves the same agenda. This isn't entertainment — it's your weekly reminder that the fight is real. Unplug from the lies, stand for truth, and remember: failure is not an option.

Jason Whitlock reacts to the QB carousel continuing to spin with the Las Vegas Raiders signing Kirk Cousins. Whitlock notes that drama queens and football rarely successfully coexist. The NFL is a man's world … and despite DEI initiatives, recent headlines mark that narrative. Jalen Hurts, represented by an all-women support team, is being framed as difficult to deal with and self-serving. Since last season, he has been ridiculed in the media without having a rebuttal. Is that path dictated by his female representation? One of the first female NFL on-the-field officials wasn't renewed and sued the league. Steve Kim joins the show discussing Cousins, Hurts, L.A. Rams WR Puka Nacua entering rehab, and a notable Cleveland media member perplexed and annoyed that Shedeur Sanders isn't the Browns' QB1. Shaun King conveys his takes on Cousins, Hurts, and Shedeur, as well as Louis Riddick's glowing analysis of Fernando Mendoza and Etan Thomas once again fishing with race-bait. ​​Today's Sponsors: ZBiotics  ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.
