Federico y Amorós comentan la gran faena de Morante de la Puebla en Las Ventas sin premio por culpa de la presidencia. La Corrida de la Prensa de la Feria de San Isidro 2025 pasará a la historia por la gran faena de Morante de la Puebla al primer toro del encierro de Garcigrande y por lo que sucedió después, cuando el presidente del festejo no concedió la oreja que pedía la mayoría de Las Ventas. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de esRadio, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han comentado la corrida de Garcigrande que lidiaron junto Morante, Alejandro Talavante y Tomás Rufo. Las Ventas volvió a colgar el cartel de No Hay Billetes, el octavo de la Feria de San Isidro 2025, en una tarde de gran expectación por ser la del regreso de Morante de la Puebla a la Monumental madrileña tras su exitoso paso por la Feria de Abril de Sevilla y haber cortado un rabo en Jerez de la Frontera. Había según Amorós un "ambiente extraordinarísimo que no se podía entrar en la plaza del jaleo". Los toros de Garcigrande "salieron muy deslucidos, pero el primer toro tuvo su casta y su interés". A ese toro Morante de la Puebla le hizo una gran faena que no se premió porque el presidente de Las Ventas no se negó a atender a la gran petición por parte del público. Amorós ha dicho que a él "el tema de los trofeos tampoco" le parece "decisivo", pero Morante "no se merecía la oreja, se merecía las dos".San Isidro 2025: seis tripletes, catorce dobletes y televisada por TeleMadridJavier Romero JordanoLa falta de "criterio" del presidente y algunos aficionados Andrés Amorós ha destacado que "en el fondo del problema a mí lo que me preocupa es que la gente, el público actual en toros, no tiene criterio. El criterio es saber que en los toros, como en todo en la vida, hay cosas importantes y cosas menos importantes y no se pueden poner al mismo nivel. Hay que distinguir lo fundamental de lo accesorio. Hay dos temas de fondo. Primer tema: la gente ahora no aguanta que el toro tarde en caer y esto es un error absoluto. Es decir, lo que hay pedir es que entre a matar bien y a veces hay una estocada buena y, justamente, si el toro es bravo, y a veces aun siendo manso, tiene casta y se resiste a caer. Ahora con el buenismo actual empiezan a pitar. ¡Si es al revés! ¡Eso es la demostración de que es un toro bravo y una cosa que puede ser hasta hermosa! Sobre todo no hay que impacientarse que el toro tarda en caer, pues que tarde". El cronista ha continuado explicando que "la segunda cosa" relevante es que "la estocada es una suerte decisiva, la suerte suprema y una faena que se remata con una mala estocada es un pecado mortal, pero el descabello, no". "Mi padre, que entendía mucho, decía que eso es suerte de matarifes, no de toreros. Ahora no descabellan bien porque no les dejan ir al matadero y entonces no entrenan. Que por eso se pierda la oreja es un absurdo", ha indicado. "¿La faena de Morante Cómo fue? Fue impecable. De comienzo al final fue casi perfecta dentro de su estilo. Una imperfección que nadie ha señalado, pues no puso bien al toro al caballo la segunda vez. Desde el comienzo de recibo le dio ya unas verónicas maravillosas. La faena de muleta empezó cuidándolo con unos pases a media altura y, enseguida, por la derecha maravilloso y por la izquierda igual de bien. Luego unas trincherillas por abajo y todo perfecto y lo mató muy bien", ha contado Amorós. "El mejor Morante", ha añadido Jiménez Losantos. "¿Y ese Morante cómo está? Está al nivel de las grandes faenas que he visto en mi vida. Al nivel de los grandes y ahora es el único que está a ese nivel", ha rematado el cronista. Sobre la decisión del presidente de negar el premio a Morante ha dicho Amorós: "¿Por qué el presidente no le da las orejas Ni siquiera una, las dos y se acabó, que eso es lo que ha de hacer un presidente. De golpe y ya está. Es porque no tiene criterio, lo siento mucho, pero además hay una cosa psicológica: les tiene miedo a los exigentes".Amorós ha sentenciado que "la faena de ayer de Morante fue comparable a la del rabo de Sevilla. A lo mejor fue más redonda, pero a ese nivel. En la línea de las grandes faenas que hemos visto". "Será la mejor de la feria y varias ferias", ha apuntado Jiménez Losantos.Roca Rey sin competencia de verdad Después de la resaca emocional de la gran faena de Morante en la Corrida de la Prensa este jueves "continúan las cosas y hoy viene Roca Rey", ha destacado Andrés Amorós. El cronista ha dicho que "hay un cartel verdaderamente extraño". Se lidian toros de El Torero, de Salvador Domecq, que es una ganadería que "dentro de domecq, tiene un poquito más de casta, se supone". Amorós ha cargado contra el cartel, que con toda seguridad colgará el noveno No Hay Billetes este San Isidro, porque Roca Rey, primera figura del toreo se anuncia sin competencia con el "veterano" Diego Urdiales y un torero sevillano que confirma su alternativa en Madrid, Rafa Serna. "Lo que debía ser: Roca Rey con dos que le aprieten, con dos rivales. Con Morante o con Luque. Esto es una comodidad de la empresa por un lado, y así paga menos, y del torero", ha añadido el cronista. Jiménez Losantos ha remarcado bromeando indicando que "podrían torear los monosabios o uno del público".

Federico y Amorós comentan la corrida de Dolores Aguirre y la previa del regreso de Morante de la Puebla a Madrid. Este miércoles se celebra en la Monumental de Las Ventas la Corrida de la Prensa que supone el regreso de Morante de la Puebla a Madrid tras superar sus problemas psicológicos y triunfar en otras plazas como Sevilla o Jerez de la Frontera. El genio cigarrero lidiará un encierro de Garcigrande con Alejandro Talavante y Tomás Rufo. Uno de los festejos más atractivos de la Feria de San Isidro 2025. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de esRadio, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han hecho la previa de este festejo y han analizado lo que sucedió en la tarde del martes en la corrida de Dolores Aguirre que lidiaron Fernando Robleño, Damián Castaño y Juan de Castilla. Amoós ha indicado que "no ha sido una novedad muy grande que con los toros de Dolores Aguirre se esperaba el aspecto más épico de la Fiesta. No es lírico, sino el épico y casi trágico"porque salieron "toros difíciles y complicados" que "no tienen mucho que ver con el torito que deja hacer una faena muy artística. No, estos son toros complicados, que hay que tener mucha técnica y mucho valor". El cronista ha destacado que a Fernando Robleño "lo acogieron con mucho cariño en su último año como torero en Madrid, pero no tuvo opciones, la verdad" y "Damián Castaño intenta torear bien incluso bonito y con estética cuando se lo permite este tipo de toros. Entonces tuvo un toro que fue el mejor y dio algunos muletazos hermosos, pero sin espada". "La gran noticia ayer fue este colombiano, Juan de Castilla, al que el público de Madrid se ha entregado porque es que torea con una verdad, una entrega y un valor auténtico que es que impresiona verdaderamente. Estuvo heroico", ha dicho Andrés Amorós. El cronista ha explicado que "le tocó un toro tremendo lo llamó por la izquierda y el toro, en vez de obedecer, se le vino por la derecha, es decir, que le cogió de pleno". Jiménez Losantos ha añadido que el toro tenía "unos cuernos que no caían en la Comunidad de Madrid".San Isidro 2025: seis tripletes, catorce dobletes y televisada por TeleMadridJavier Romero Jordano Amorós ha dicho que el toro "le pegó un trompazo tremendo y, además que ahí se ve la casta, en el suelo lo buscó con saña. Es decir, ahí quería comérselo y entonces se se levantó. Estaba evidentemente herido en sus partes, no sabíamos que también en la espalda, y aún así continuó y se la jugó y dio, un gran espadazo. No le dieron la oreja". "Lo estuve viendo y creo que había petición para dar la oreja si el presidente tuviera un poquito de sentido y de valorar las cosas. A mí hizo gracia porque es la primera vez que veía un torero con unas bermudas, unos pantalones cortos que llevaba encima, pero fíjate cómo llevaba la herida en esa parte tan delicada de la humanidad que empezó a calar en el propio pantalón que llevaba encima. Ahí es donde vimos, amigo mío, ay, ay, ay… Y el tío no se miró, pero en cuanto en cuanto dobló el toro, lo que le costó una barbaridad, se tuvo que ir porque es que aquello ya…", ha contado Federico. El cronista cree que aunque no le dieran la oreja los aficionados recordarán la faena y Jiménez Losantos ha añadido: "Yo me acuerdo de la estocada. Que con ese toro que lo había machacado, lo había triturado. Le había metido una cornada ahí donde duele y el tío se volcó". Amorós ha apuntado que lo de Juan de Castilla tuvo "muchísimo mérito. Es decir que yo me acordaré de que estuvo verdaderamente heroico y después de eso volvió en el siguiente y ya nos enteramos que tenía, además, porque eso no lo sabíamos, una herida en la espalda de 15 cm y además le han dado 4 puntos en el pene. Después de eso se la volvió a jugar con otro toro, que era tremendo". Cree que "el público de Madrid" valorará esa "entrega y la verdad de ese torero verdaderamente valiente".Vuelve Morante a Las Ventas Andrés Amorós ha dicho que "hoy miércoles cambia" y que "es otro tipo de Fiesta y es muy clara la diferencia cuando hay toracos tremendos, el último de Juan de Castilla pesaba cerca de los setecientos kilos". "Hoy vuelve la máxima expectación con las figuras, hay toros de Garcigrande, que son unos toros salmantinos que eran los preferidos del Juli, porque a veces salen un poquito abantos, dudando un poco, pero suelen sacar un fondo bueno. Pero en Sevilla este año no han dado buen resultado", ha añadido. Esta Corrida de la Prensa "es la presentación en la Feria de San Isidro de Morante. La primera actuación de Morante en Madrid después de su reaparición por sus problemas de salud". Amorós ha contado que hay gran "expectación" y que se ha colgado el cartel de No Hay Billetes. También ha dicho que ha visto a Morante "casi todas las tardes" y que "está toreando muy bien, pero francamente muy bien y no solo con arte, con valor de verdad, con valor sereno, dando naturales". Ha recordado que el torero de La Puebla del Río "lo que tiene es una cosa que es que si él ve que el toro no le va a servir corta en seco y se acabó y que suene la bronca y hasta la próxima. Así que veremos a ver, supongo que puede haber un poco los dos aspectos. Veremos a ver si hay más aplausos o hay más broncas". El cartel de la Corrida de la Prensa es para Amorós "muy atractivo" porque "con Morante también torea Talavante, por ahora la única Puerta Grande de la Feria, con su toreo, digamos, heterodoxo, fuera de lo clásico y haciendo cosas muy singulares". "Alguno diría populista", ha añadido Jiménez Losantos. "Bueno, cosas raras", ha contestado Amorós que ha indicado que "la gente dice: ¡Qué imaginativo!¡Qué fantasía! A mí es que me gustaba el toreo clásico. Lo siento, es así". El tercer matador de toros que está anunciado es Tomás Rufo. Ha recordado que "el otro día falló con con la espada y no cortó orejas, pero tenía segura la Puerta Grande porque ha dado los mejores naturales de la Feria por ahora, con un toro muy bueno, es cierto, pero cogiéndolo por delante y llevándolo hasta allí, lejos, por detrás mandando mucho y arrastrando la muleta por la arena". "Entonces: Morante Talavante y Tomás Rufo. Va a ser una tarde de lleno absoluto y veremos a ver si se desatan las pasiones en Las Ventas como últimamente", ha finalizado.

Federico y Amorós analizan la decepción con Roca Rey y los artistas sevillanos y el triunfo de Román en el tercer fin de semana de San Isidro 2025. Tercer fin de semana de la Feria de San Isidro 2025 en el que se lidiaron las corridas de Victoriano del Río, Juan Pedro Domecq y Fuente Ymbro y se volvió a colgar el cartel de No Hay Billetes en la Monumental de Las Ventas en dos de las tres tardes y hubo una gran entrada en la última. El coso de la calle de Alcalá está llenando los tendidos casi todos los días aunque el ciclo al completo se esté televisando también con éxito por TeleMadrid. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de esRadio, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han analizado todo lo que ha sucedido en estos tres días de toros en Las Ventas. El cronista ha titulado cada día de una manera diferente. Del primer festejo, el del viernes, ha dicho que fue una "tarde de división de opiniones y al final naturales que acaban con la división de opiniones". Amorós ha explicado que "la división de opiniones grande vino con Roca Rey, como era de esperar, porque a los exigentes no les gusta lo que hizo y otros lo apoyaban".San Isidro 2025: seis tripletes, catorce dobletes y televisada por TeleMadridJavier Romero Jordano "Al final el resultado es que Roca Rey no triunfó con unos toros de Victoriano del Río encastados de juegos variado", ha indicado Amorós que ha dicho que el torero limeño "no triunfó ni con el toro áspero ni con el toro flojo y escuchó, como decían antes los revisteros, dos silencios". "Para una primera figura eso en Madrid, no está bien", ha añadido y ha recordado que a Roca Rey le queda aún una tarde en San Isidro 2025. "Vuelve con los toros del Torero el jueves 29 y ahí tendrá que apretar, porque es que así no está bien", ha apuntado. Del resto de actuantes ha comentado que "Emilio de Justo, hizo el esfuerzo y cortó una oreja", pero "no ha vuelto a estar del todo bien después de aquel percance gravísimo que tuvo. Yo le noto que quiere, que lo intenta, pero le veo un poquito rígido todavía". Sobre Tomás Rufo ha señalado que "fue el que puso de acuerdo a todos porque al final salió un gran toro y dio unos grandes naturales de esos de cogerlo ahí delante y llevarlos hasta ahí detrás mandando mucho y con los pitones por la arena". Para el cronista, ha sido "de momento lo mejor de la Feria" una faena que ha sido la "más redonda" y "más completa". "Lo que pasa es que falló con la espada, pero la realidad es que yo ya ni me acuerdo, pues perdió las dos orejas que eran seguras".Los artistas sevillanos se estrellan en Las Ventas El sábado se lidió un encierro de Juan Pedro Domecq, remendado con un toro de Torrealta, por Juan Ortega y Pablo Aguado, mano a mano. "Yo titularía esa corrida como los sueños sevillanos", ha dicho Amorós. El cronista ha añadido que "Sevilla es maravillosa, pero es muy propensa a sustituir la realidad por el sueño. Como decía Cernuda". "Hubo toros de Juan Pedro Domecq que en la Feria de Abril salieron muy bravos, y aquí no. ¿Y por qué no? No se sabe. Podemos decir que, claro, en la Feria de Abril son más chicos y que les pican menos. Aquí salieron unos toros chicos para Madrid, flojos, sin casta y sin bravura y el esperadísimo mano a mano de los dos artistas sevillanos Juan Ortega y Pablo Aguado hubo bastantes, pocas cosas", ha explicado. "¿Qué se confirmó?", se ha preguntado Amorós, "lo que habíamos comentado ya", ha contestado. El cronista ha dicho que "Juan Ortega es capaz de dar siempre algunos lances y algunos muletazos de verdad preciosos, muy muy bonitos, pero no redondea la faena. ¿Y Pablo Aguado? Pues pues igual, pero al final salió un toro bueno y Aguado le cortó una oreja". Este torero tiene "una cosa muy peculiar" que es "una cualidad muy rara y muy valiosa: la naturalidad y no mucho más. Yo creo que sobre eso, pues algunos sevillanos montan un sueño simplemente desmesurado", ha indicado.Tarde de valor y temeridad El domingo se lidió un corrida en Las Ventas que "los mexicanos hubieran titulado: toros duros y toreros machos, porque fueron unos toros de Fuente Ymbro que son siempre serios, encastados, pero, además, los cuatro primeros salieron muy deslucidos y parecía que no pasaba nada, pero el quinto salió bravo y bueno, y el sexto salió violentísimo". Amorós ha añadido que "estuvieron mal los picadores y entonces no ahormaron los toros". "Curro Díaz es un torero maduro, veterano, un torero clásico estupendo que yo lo defiendo casi siempre, pero no tuvo toros y ya está. Y Román el valenciano estuvo muy valiente, con un toro bueno y se la jugó llevándose una voltereta tremenda", ha dicho Amorós. "El último toro salió verdaderamente tremendo", ha contado Amorós. Era un animal "tremendo, pero muy, muy violento, muy duro". Confirmaba la alternativa un mexicano hijo de torero, Diego San Román, y no es que estuvo valiente, es que estuvo temerario, al borde de la cornada continuamente". Andrés Amorós ha explicado que eso "inspira respeto, sin duda ninguna", pero cree que "hay que dominar un poco más, porque es que a mí me gusta no pasarlo tan mal".

Federico y Andrés Amorós han analizado la corrida de Alcurrucén y el regreso de Roca Rey a Las Ventas. La Feria de San Isidro 2025 afronta este viernes su tercer fin de semana con dos corridas de No Hay Billetes y el regreso de la primera figura del torero y el que manda en la taquilla en todo el planeta de los toros: Andrés Roca Rey. El torero peruano regresa a Las Ventas con una corrida de Victoriano del Río varios meses después de recibir una cornada grave en su última comparecencia en la Monumental de la Calle de Alcalá. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de esRadio, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han comentado la previa de estos festejos y han analizado lo que sucedió en la tarde del jueves en la corrida de Alcurrucén que lidiaron Sebastian Castella, Miguel Ángel Perera y Daniel Luque y en la que se llenaron los tendidos de Las Ventas al colgarse el cartel de No Hay Billetes con "un ambiente tremendo". Amorós ha contado que "no se podía llegar a la plaza" y estuvo hasta el líder del PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo "en la barrera con el Niño de la Capea, que es un gran torero, que entiende mucho y es muy buen compañero de toros para explicar. Además, es el suegro de Perera".Los toros "rompen" la taquilla y los audímetros: así crecen la asistencia a las plazas y la audiencia en TVDiego Sánchez de la Cruz "Los toros de Alcurrucén salieron mal, pero mal. A veces salen mansos encastados y ayer salieron nobles, pero sosos y sin emoción. Hay una justificación que dan los profesionales y es que por la mañana ha habido baile de corrales, es decir, que no aprobaron, por lo visto, todos los toros que habían traído y tuvieron a última hora que cambiar por otros", ha dicho Andrés Amorós. Ha contado que "eso está muy bien, pero el público no lo sabe y tiene a los que saberlo porque el público juzga lo que sale en el ruedo y lo que salió no tuvo emoción. Y con ese tipo de toros, pues en Madrid no se puede triunfar entonces Castilla y Perera, muy poco y Daniel Luque hizo el esfuerzo porque el día anterior no dejó buena impresión y ayer estuvo mucho mejor, pero le falta toro para triunfar". Andrés Amorós ha explicado que "en Madrid sobre todo un torero poderoso necesita un toro fuerte" porque "Morante, pongamos, con un inválido dibuja un lance y hace una cosa muy bonita y la gente se olvidó del toro que tiene delante, pero un torero que no es de la línea estética como Luque, que es de la línea poderosa si tienes poder ha de haber algún toro que necesite poder y ayer no lo hubo". El cronista ha criticado también la duración de los festejos porque "una corrida de 2 horas y 45 minutos es un disparate. Eso no puede ser y tenían que ponerse de acuerdo los profesionales y hacer algo y no lo hacen".Vuelve Roca Rey El tercer fin de semana de la Feria de San Isidro 2025 se inicia con un encierro de Victoriano del Río para Emilio de Justo, Roca Rey y Tomás Rufo este viernes 23; sigue con uno de Juan Pedro Domecq mano a mano para Juan Ortega y Pablo Aguado y acaba con una corrida de Fuente Ymbro para Curro Díaz, Román y Diego San Román que confirma la alternativa.San Isidro 2025: seis tripletes, catorce dobletes y televisada por TeleMadridJavier Romero Jordano Andrés Amorós ha dicho que viene "un fin de semana taurino, pero tremendo porque es que además va a haber por lo menos dos tardes de No Hay Billetes seguro". El cronista ha dicho recordado de Victoriano del Río "salió uno muy bueno" la semana pasada y que "Emilio de Justo el otro día no estuvo demasiado bien y hoy tiene que apretar". Ha destacado que "Roca Rey es el que tiene más gancho popular, el más taquillero" y que "se espera que haya triunfo y división de opiniones y que a la mayoría del público le guste y que algunos más exigentes les guste menos. Es lo normal de Roca Rey en Madrid". Ha llamado "la atención" a que este viernes es también "la primera corrida en la Feria de Tomás Rufo, que es de los jóvenes uno de los más prometedores y que estuvo bien en Sevilla y en las ferias anteriores". El sábado se espera "otra corrida de No Hay Billetes, pero, además, desde que se anunció". Se lidian toros de Juan Pedro Domecq por Juan Ortega y Pablo Aguado, mano a mano. Los de Juan Pedro "que salieron muy buenos en Sevilla. Ahora bien, para Madrid han de ser toros más grandes. ¿Aguantarán o serán flojos? Pues no lo sabemos. Suelen ser toros muy nobles, pero a veces flojean y eso en Madrid no gusta", ha explicado Amorós. El cronista ha contado que "lo que hay es un mano a mano de dos artistas sevillanos" y que Madrid siempre ha ido detrás de Sevilla porque se enamora del arte sevillano". Ortega y Aguado "ya están placeados los dos". "A mí me parece que está más maduro Juan Ortega", ha apuntado Amorós y que lo que hay que esperar es "por lo menos algunos lances y algunos muletazos muy estéticos y muy lentos, porque eso lo hace de verdad muy, muy bonito. Ahora, redondear una faena, eso ya está por ver." De Pablo Aguado ha indicado que "se está quedando detrás de Ortega y lo que apunta es que es muy bonito, pero una naturalidad, pero unos detalles y claro, eso pues en Madrid me temo que no es suficiente. Veremos a ver". El domingo hay "otro tipo de corrida totalmente distinta" en la que están anunciados los toros de Fuente Ymbro, "es decir, toros serios y encastados". Amorós ha dicho que "confirma la alternativa el mexicano Diego San Román que es un chico muy valiente. Ahora bien, yo digo lo de siempre, el toro mexicano no es lo mismo que el toro español y el público mexicano tampoco es lo mismo que el de Madrid. Con él actúan Román, que es un valenciano muy valiente y que está en muy buen momento y un torero que es un gran torero: Curro Díaz". De este torero de Linares ha explicado que es "un torero clásico, estupendo, muy querido en Madrid y que, además, suele torear con el capote de maravilla, tiene unos comienzos de faena deslumbrantes, preciosos y tiene unas estocadas, además, con un estilo peculiar, con la espada apuntando muy al cielo, pero muy buenas". "¿Cuál es el problema entonces? Pues, con todo respeto, que ya ha cumplido los 50 años, claro, y ya, pues está en una etapa de no ganarse los contratos. Veremos a ver con qué ánimos viene, pero les llamo la atención: Curro Díaz, un estupendo torero clásico". Federico y Amorós han recomendado que los que no puedan ir a Las Ventas vean las corridas en TeleMadrid donde "se puede ver todo de maravilla". "Lo están haciendo estupendo y, sobre todo, está haciendo un servicio enorme a la afición.

Federico y Amorós comentan la previa de la tercera semana de la Feria de San Isidro con una novillada de Conde de Mayalde de máximo interés. La Feria de San Isidro 2025 se encamina a su "semana central" que da comienzo con una novillada de Conde de Mayalde para tres novilleros: Fabio Jiménez, El Mene y Tomás Bastos. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de esRadio, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han adelantado lo que se espera de estos carteles en la primera plaza de toros del mundo. Amorós ha destacado la importancia de las novilladas para los aficionados a los toros porque es la manera en la que se dan a conocer las figuras del toreo del futuro. Ha dicho que a diferencia del público ocasional "al aficionado le interesan las novilladas y más en Madrid" donde "los novillos son serios". Este martes se lidian reses de Conde de Mayalde, una ganadería de sangre domecq que suelen salir "con casta y ciertas complicaciones, pero interesantes". De los tres novilleros que hacen el paseíllo en Las Ventas "uno ha tomado ya en Madrid y los otros dos se presentan". "El primero, Fabio Jiménez, que es de La Rioja, de Alfaro, se hizo en la escuela de Salamanca. ¿Y por qué lo repiten? Porque se lo ha ganado. Quedó muy bien en las novilladas nocturnas del verano", ha explicado Amorós. El cronista ha dicho que de los que torean por primera vez ante el público madrileño uno es Tomás Bastos y el otro El Mene. De Bastos ha recordado que "no hay que confundirlo con otro novillero que es sevillano y que se llama Diego Bastos". Tomás Bastos "es portugués de Vilafranca de Xira, donde están las ganaderías portuguesas. Tiene 18 años, pero está montando una pequeña revolución en Portugal porque hacía tiempo que no hay una figura nueva", ha contado Andrés Amorós. El cronista ha añadido que "es un novillero interesante" que "apoderan Cristina Sánchez y su marido, que es portugués, a la vieja usanza". "Estudió en la escuela de Badajoz y el debut con caballos fue este año en Olivenza y cortó tres orejas, causando sensación. Además pone banderillas", ha apuntado.San Isidro 2025: seis tripletes, catorce dobletes y televisada por TeleMadridJavier Romero Jordano El otro novillero se llama Iker Fernández pero se anuncia como El Mene. "Es aragonés, de Zaragoza, y tiene 20 años", ha dicho Amorós que ha contado que lo vio "en las fallas de Valencia y quedó bien". Este torero es "serio, vertical" del estilo del "Viti y Manolete", ha añadido el cronista que advierte que "ahora en Aragón hay partidarios del Mene y de Aarón Palacio, que acaba de cortar dos orejas en la Maestranza".La semana "importante" para "el gran público" Andrés Amorós también ha hecho la previa de lo que se verá esta semana en la Monumental de Las Ventas y en TeleMadrid, donde emiten en abierto toda la Feria de San Isidro. El miércoles hay un encierro de Araúz de Robles para Morenito de Aranda, Fortes y Adrián de Torres y ya el jueves vuelven las figuras en tres días seguidos en el que "hay tres corridas de lleno seguro". El cronista ha dicho que es "la semana importante en la Feria, sobre todo, de cara al gran público". El jueves se lidian toros de Alcurrucén por Sebastian Castella, Miguel Ángel Perera y Daniel Luque, estos dos últimos tienen su "segunda actuación" en el ciclo y "tienen que quitarse la espina y apretar". El viernes se anuncian Emilio de Justo, Roca Rey y Tomás Rufo con toros de Victoriano del Río y el sábado un mano mano con toros de Juan Pedro Domecq y "dos toreros artistas sevillanos: Juan Ortega y Pablo Aguado".

Federico y Amorós analizan las corridas del segundo fin de semana de San Isidro 2025. En el segundo fin de semana de la Feria de San Isidro 2025 concluyó el pasado domingo con la corrida de La Quinta que lidiaron Uceda Leal, Daniel Luque y Emilio de Justo. En estas tres tardes han pasado por la Monumental de Las Ventas casi 70.000 personas (68.892) y se han colgado los tres días el cartel de No Hay Billetes. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de esRadio, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han analizado todo lo que ha pasado en el ruedo de Las Ventas de viernes a domingo. De la corrida del viernes, que iba a ser en principio un encierro del Puerto de San Lorenzo y La Ventana del Puerto para José María Manzanares, Fernando Adrián y Pablo Aguado, ha comentado que "fue un desastre total". "Resulta que Victoriano del Río, que entró remendando la corrida porque hubo lo que se llama un baile de corrales, de los dos toros uno fue verdaderamente buenísimo", ha contado. Se trató de "un toro de domecq bravo, noble y que transmitía y emocionaba. Un toro estupendo que probablemente mereció la vuelta al ruedo", ha explicado el cronista. Jiménez Losantos ha dicho que "yo lo he visto en TeleMadrid y es para coger al presidente y hacerle dar la vuelta al ruedo, pero con las mulillas ¡Qué vergüenza! Era tan evidente… Además, que no cuesta nada sacar el pañuelito azul". Amorós ha añadido que "era un gran toro, pero tienen miedo también a que digan: ¡Uy, qué bizcochones están! ¡Qué blandos están! Era un toro muy bravo". De los actuantes ha contado que Manzanares y Pablo Aguado, "muy poquito y se acabó" y que "ese toro tan bueno le tocó a Fernando Adrián, que es un chico con un estilo no muy refinado, sencillo y directo que se entregó, lo hizo todo y que, al final, cuando tenía el gran triunfo, no lo mató. Si lo mata le dan una oreja". "Casi se mata él mismo", ha indicado Federico. "Tenía una oreja segura y le hubieran pedido la segunda", ha apuntado Amorós a lo que el director de Es la Mañana ha contestado que "posiblemente la hubiera dado porque es torero pobre entonces en Las Ventas" donde "mientras eres pobre te dan y te regalan. ¡Ahora! En el momento en que eres rico… Siempre ha sido así".San Isidro 2025: seis tripletes, catorce dobletes y televisada por TeleMadridJavier Romero JordanoDiego Ventura, el número uno del toreo a caballo Sobre la corrida de toreros a caballo del sábado Andrés Amorós ha contado que Diego Ventura "es el número uno, sin duda ninguna" y que está "a gran distancia" del resto. Ha explicado que "hace cinco días tuvo un percance. Se cayó haciendo una pirueta, el toro le cogió en un pueblo y le rompió cuatro o cinco huesecitos del pie". "No se puede ya bajar del caballo y llega un momento cuando mata y el toro no cae lo descabelló desde arriba que es una cosa bien difícil y muy poco frecuente", ha dicho. Amorós también a criticado que "el público de rejones siempre ha sido un público fácil, benigno, suave y bondadoso, pero es que ahora yo lo veo perdido por completo. O sea, como la España actual". "Entonces le dieron oreja, exactamente el mismo premio, a los tres rejoneadores que, con todo respeto, pues hay una diferencia muy notable", ha añadido. El cronista ha dicho que a él "eso" no le gusta" porque "tratar igual a los desiguales no es justo, pero, además de eso, es que indica una cosa que es perder el criterio por completo"."Decepción" con Luque y De Justo Sobre el festejo del domingo Andrés Amorós ha dicho que fue "una corrida extraña" de La Quinta. "En una feria larga siempre hay un día que la gente se pone rara", ha añadido el cronista. "Aquí había dos figuras, digámoslo así, y un torero relativamente modesto porque es un veterano que torea ya muy poco y es buen torero: Uceda Leal, que lo hace con torería y mando", ha apuntado. Este matador "está ya final de su carrera" y "le salió un toro que estuvo bien y, claro, la gente, entusiasmada". "Ya nadie sabe qué pasó", ha dicho Amorós sobre el resto del festejo en el que "venían los toros de La Quinta, que son toros grises, cárdenos, muy bonitos y teóricamente con casta". "Eran toros con casta, pero complicaditos y acabaron de salir ni buenos ni malos, sino todo lo contrario y tenía lo que llaman peligro sordo y, sobre todo, no se entregaban del todo. Las dos figuras que son de primera categoría ahora, Emilio de Justo y Daniel Luque, no estuvieron muy acertados ayer y ya está. ¿Qué le vamos a hacer? No hay que suspenderlos definitivamente y mandarlos al infierno, pero hay que decir: hombre, en Madrid hay que espabilar más". Amorós ha continuado diciendo que entiende "muy bien que la cosa fue un poquito complicada" y que "Daniel Luque, de su primer toro, dijo que era un toro dificilísimo. La mayoría de los aficionados, incluido yo, no lo vimos tan difícil". Eso para el cronista "es un problema" porque "hay aquí una discrepancia en todo". "En todo caso, la palabra inevitable es decepción" porque "no ha salido bien del todo" y "en Madrid hay que apretar más". Tanto Luque como De Justo tienen otra oportunidad esta semana. El primero, el jueves en la corrida de Alcurrucén con Sebastian Castella y Miguel Ángel Perera y el segundo el viernes en la de Victoriano del Río con Roca Rey y Tomás Rufo.

Al Alimón: El "extraordinario" momento de Morante y el motivo por el que "es un verdadero genio"

Federico y Amorós analizan el final de la Feria de Sevilla en la que han destacado Morante, David de Miranda y Pepe Moral. La Feria de Abril de Sevilla ha terminado y ha demostrado que Morante de la Puebla ha regresado en su mejor registro. En la sección Al Alimón en Es la Mañana, Federico Jiménez Losantos y Andrés Amorós han comentado los últimos cuatro festejos del serial sevillano. En estos días la Maestranza se ha llenado de público buscando ver las faenas de los principales toreros del escalafón y a la espera de la inspiración del genio de La Puebla del Río, el gran destacado de lo que llevamos de temporada taurina en la capital andaluza. Amorós ha dicho que tiene "mucha prevención a la literatura barata en los toros, que es una peste horrible", pero ha reconocido que "la verdad es que la Maestranza es una maravilla". Ha contado que "hay un sitio en el que te asomas y ahí tiene una terraza que da al río y allí se ve Triana y se ve el río yendo hacia la desembocadura. Bueno, en la caída de la tarde, una maravilla". El cronista ha comentado de manera cronológica lo sucedido de jueves a domingo en el ruedo de la Maestranza. El jueves "salió una corrida de Juan Pedro Domecq buenísima, pero buenísima que quiere decir dulcísima porque es que no tenía casi ningún el mínimo de problemas que puede tener un toro bravo". "Hombre, siempre lo tiene, pero si yo fuera torero, ¿qué toros querría matar? Pues por comodidad esos, naturalmente, pero como aficionado a mí me gustan toros que tenga más fuerza, más poder y que planteen más problemas. Así es donde se ve el que vale y el que no", ha explicado. "Unos toros tan dulces tienen también un inconveniente que la gente no se suele dar cuenta y que es que descubren lo que lleva cada uno dentro. Porque, claro, si con esos toros no estás de maravilla, ¿qué va a pasar?", ha dicho Amorós que ha destacado que "Urdiales, pues torea con clasicismo; Castella tiene oficio, pero no tiene arte y con esos toros dice muy poco; y Pablo Aguado, pues al revés: tiene arte sin oficio. Tiene una cosa muy rara, que está muy bien, que es una cierta naturalidad, pero es que no cuaja los toros. Entonces se ha convertido ya en un mito sevillano como Ortega, pero todavía cuaja menos que Ortega las faenas", ha dicho.Morante deslumbra por Rafael El Gallo A continuación ha hablado del festejo del viernes en el que se lidiaron en Sevilla "muy malos toros de Garcigrande, los que eran favoritos del Juli". Ha dicho que "en Sevilla, han salido muy malos" pero "fue una gran corrida" en la que Morante ha demostrado que "está extraordinario". Amorós ha destacado que el torero de La Puebla del Río "es un verdadero genio" y ha contado que aunque "todo el mundo dice que la referencia es Joselito el Gallo" él está toreando por "Rafael el Gallo, que era un señor que sabía muchísimo". Ha dicho que la diferencia es que Rafael "tenía mucho miedo" y que "Morante tiene menos. La ventaja es que Morante es más valiente que Rafael el Gallo, pero que le hacía a los toros cosas de una belleza y de una fantasía extraordinaria". "Entonces Morante deslumbra a la gente con serpentinas, con toda clase de adornos con el capote, pero lo que tampoco se da cuenta la gente es que detrás de eso y las largas a una mano y todo eso la base de la faena sigue siendo verónicas maravillosa y naturales maravillosos". El cronista ha explicado que Morante "es un torero clásico y lidiador y que, además, puede con los toros". Ha animado a los aficionados a que "vayan a ver a Morante, si pueden". Ha destacado que "de momento está toreando extraordinariamente". En la corrida de ese día también torearon Daniel Luque y Tomás Rufo. Del primero ha dicho que frente a Morante está "en otro tipo de estilo". Pero que "demostró que ahora es el mejor lidiador, sin duda ninguna". Ha dicho que "con un toro malísimo de Garcigrande Luque se metió con él jugándosela y dándote todas las ventajas y consintiéndole y acabó haciéndole faena". "Un lidiador que con un toro que es un mansazo acaba convirtiendo en un toro relativamente bueno y hace una gran faena es una cosa extraordinaria", ha apuntado. Sin embargo, "el presidente no se enteró y no le dio ni la oreja después de matarlo bien". "Luque: maravilloso dentro de su línea, que es no la de Morante, y Rufo, pues un peldaño por abajo, porque es más joven, pero dentro de los jóvenes pues es de los mejores que hay ahora, escuela toledana, mando y temple y está bastante bien".David de Miranda, por encima de Roca Rey El sábado se lidiaron toros de El Parralejo para Cayetano Rivera, Roca Rey y David de Miranda. Salieron "todos muy malos, muy flojos, salvo uno muy bueno", ha dicho Andrés Amorós. El cronista ha recordado que "ese día fue el de la despedida de Sevilla de Cayetano". Del matador de toros de dinastía ha dicho que "tiene casi 50 años y ha aprendido a torear tarde. Tiene sus límites y bueno, pues está bien. Le despiden con cariño. Una cosa muy de Sevilla es que justo al antes de empezar la faena ya empezaron a tocar el pasodoble Juncal. Un detalle cariñoso y ya está". "Luego toreaba Roca Rey, que el día anterior estuvo bastante bien y al borde de la Puerta del Príncipe. Roca Rey, que es sin duda el más taquillero, y supongo que el que más cobra, pero el cartel, hombre, lo que yo quiero es a un Roca Rey que rivalice con los de su nivel y con todos los respetos, un cartel de Roca Rey con Cayetano y con David de Miranda, hombre, eso es pasarse. Económicamente para el empresario, oye, pues es bueno, pero para el aficionado mídase usted con los grandes. Es como si el Real Madrid juega siempre con un equipo en principio inferior, ¿no? Y además eso tiene un peligro que es que a veces acaba saliendo mal", ha reflexionado. "¿Qué le pasó a Roca Rey?", se ha preguntado Amorós. "Que la vez anterior había estado bien y esta vez los toros no fueron buenos y entonces empezó a producir una división de opiniones fuerte, hubo frases que se escucharon muy bien en el silencio de la Maestranza y que no le gustaron, como es lógico. Entonces se encaró con el público de sol y no pasó nada y se fue de la Feria con dos silencios, algo regular para una figura", ha indicado. David de Miranda El que se llevó el triunfo que el onubense David de Miranda, que "era el el más modesto en principio, ya que torea poco". Este torero !se jugó la vida absolutamente, cortó orejas y abrió la Puerta del Príncipe y ya está. Entonces merece un poquito de atención de los empresarios", ha dicho.Fin de Feria con la corrida de Miura Como es tradición desde hace ya bastantes años el broche a la Feria lo puso la corrida de Miura que lidiaron Manuel Escribano, Pepe Moral y Esaú Fernández. Ha contado Amorós que "los miuras salieron como siempre, complicados" y que "los seis toreros toros fueron a portagayola y yo creo eso no lo había visto nunca en ninguna corrida". "Escribano no tuvo suerte" porque le tocaron "unos miuras muy complicados y ya está. No acabó bien la feria, pero se ha anunciado como una figura matando las de Victorino, Santiago Domecq y Miura. Para quitarse el sombrero", ha destacado Amorós. El cronista ha dicho que "Esaú Fernández tuvo voluntad y lo de Pepe Moral fue una cosa muy conmovedora". Ha recordado que "Pepe Moral es un torero sevillano con mucha clase, pero que había decaído su ánimo. Entonces se fue a América y ahí estaba rehaciéndose. Ayer salió de verdad a hacer lo que hiciera falta para recuperar el sitio. Cortó una oreja en cada uno, se la jugó y además con buen estilo, o sea que estuvo bastante bien".

Andrés Amorós analiza la corrida de Victoriano del Río de la Feria de Sevilla con Perera, Roca Rey y Juan Ortega. La Feria de Abril sevillana, que este año se está desarrollando en mayo, está dando sus últimos coletazos y cada día deja momentos memorables. En Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana de Federico, Andrés Amorós ha contado lo sucedido en la corrida de Victoriano del Río en la que destacó un nombre propio: Andrés Roca Rey. El matador de toros peruano y una de las principales figuras del toreo actual cortó dos orejas y se quedó cerca de abrir la Puerta del Príncipe en su primera participación en el serial sevillano de 2025. Se colgó el cartel de No Hay Billetes en una tarde en la que también trenzaron el paseíllo Miguel Ángel Perera y Juan Ortega. Amorós ha contado que "ayer era día de fiesta en Sevilla para que los sevillanos pudieran ir a la Feria" y eso supuso "un récord de gente" en un "año fresco, con nada de calor". Los toros de Victoriano del Río salieron "muy nobles, algunos un poquito flojo, pero nobilísimos" y "Miguel Ángel Perera no cortó orejas, pero confirmó que está en un gran momento, muy poderoso y muy bien". Sobre Juan Ortega ha dicho que "lo esperan en Sevilla y lo siguen esperando porque da algunas verónicas con arte y algún doblón muy bonito, pero no cuaja una gran faena y se despide de la Feria con dos silencios". "Bueno, pues habrá que seguir esperando", ha añadido el cronista.Roca Rey, cerca de la Puerta del Príncipe Andrés Amorós ha dicho que Roca Rey "tuvo muchísima suerte porque le tocó un lote directamente de Puerta del Príncipe, pero lo aprovechó dentro de su estilo. Lo aprovechó plenamente". "Lo que pasa es que a los más exigentes sevillanos ese estilo de Roca Rey no es el que les gusta más", ha explicado Amorós que ha insistido en que el peruano tuvo un "lote estupendo". "Ya en el primer toro cortó las orejas claramente porque era nobilísimo y le hizo de todo, por la derecha, por la izquierda, toda clase de muletazos y, claro, era de prever que en el último bastaba con una oreja" para abrir la Puerta del Príncipe. "Le salió un toro todavía mejor y lo toreó también bien, pero el toro se acabó pronto y se rajó. Lo que pasó es que él, que ahora ha recuperado el sitio con la espada, ayer, en el momento decisivo, en el sexto toro, falló porque pincho y perdió la Puerta del Príncipe simplemente por la espada. Pero ha quedado muy bien dentro de su estilo y confirma claramente que es el torero más taquillero y al que la gente sigue más", ha contado Amorós. El cronista ha lamentado la presencia de "un público de feria, un público muy festero" que "para pedir la oreja hay gente que no la pide aplaudiendo o sacando el pañuelo, sino que se llevan los dedos a la boca dando unos pitidos. Eso no era el público de Sevilla ni debe serlo".El final de la Feria de Sevilla 2025 Este jueves, viernes, sábado y domingo llega la traca final de la Feria de Sevilla de esta temporada con primeras figuras y buenos toreros. Andrés Amorós ha recordado que "hoy jueves hay un cartel un poquito menos brillante" en el que "va a torear un torero que para el gran público a lo mejor no es tan conocido, pero que es muy buen torero clásico: Diego Urdiales". Ha recordado que "a Curro Romero, cuando le preguntaron ¿Quién le te gusta? ¿Cómo torea? Dijo que Urdiales, que torea con un estilo clásico". El cronista ha dicho que es "muy bueno" y que aunque no tenga "un gran éxito seguro que algunos pases buenos va a dar". Al matador de toros le acompañan Sebastian Castella y Pablo Aguado y lidiarán un encierro de Juan Pedro Domecq. De la corrida del viernes ha dicho que es "un gran cartel" y que puede ser "un día tremendo" porque "vuelve Morante de la Puebla con Daniel Luque nada menos, y con Tomás Rufo, que sabes que de los jóvenes es uno de los mejores. O sea que el viernes es una corrida muy muy importante, pero también te recuerdo que el viernes empieza la de San Isidro, porque es que este año se solapan. Y claro, pues no se puede estar en los dos sitios a la vez". Los tres matadores de toros lidiarán toros de Garcigrande. Amorós ha comentado que el sábado es "la segunda corrida de Roca Rey" además de "la despedida de Cayetano" de la plaza de Sevilla junto a David de Miranda y toros de El Parralejo. El domingo se pone el broche final con la tradicional corrida de Miura con Manuel Escribano, Pepe Moral y Esaú Fernández. Una corrida que se televisará en abierto para todo el mundo por Canal Sur como se podrá ver en TeleMadrid la Feria de San Isidro al completo. Para Amorós es "la forma por la que muchísima gente conoce el mundo de los toros y se aficiona".

An Interview with Christopher Rufo, Writer, Filmmaker and Commentator For more than half a century, many of America's most revered institutions have been infiltrated with ideas that run counter to the country's founding principles. This ideological capture has been acute within prestigious universities, to the point where the opportunity for viewpoint diversity continues to be under severe threat.  Yet, according to our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom, all is not lost. In fact, he believes that there has been an ideological shift not only within higher education, but in society, politics, culture and in civic institutions. And, he says, it's only beginning.   Christ Rufo discusses how his unique background, which is rooted in both scholarship and filmmaking, has led him to believe that it's possible and vital to restore the principles of American exceptionalism.  Topics Discussed on this Episode Why Chris went into documentary filmmaking upon graduation from Georgetown University. What Chris learned directing documentaries and why he focused on urban areas How Chris' filmmaking experience turned him into an advocate for solutions to the problems he was seeing Reversing the ideological capture of higher universities and how to turn ideas rooted in scholarship into reality. Opportunities to change the culture in institutions that seem permanently captured, such as government, higher education, and entertainment Why the younger generation is gravitating towards values and ideals traditionally tied to free enterprise, liberty and free speech The rise of independent media and how it has contributed to the cultural shift What it means to receive a Bradley Prize About Christopher Rufo  Rufo is a bestselling author, filmmaker and commentator, whose work has significantly influenced contemporary American culture and policies. He's also a senior fellow and director of the initiative on critical race theory at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. Rufo is a 2025 Bradley Prize winner.

Andy also highlights how progressives manipulate the assessment system to unfairly burden both the wealthy and the poor to raise money for their insatiable appetite for big government.Next, Andy digs into his column on how Elon Musk's weekend order may have been an impulsive command to President Trump's comments, but the refusal of multiple cabinet-level officials to comply with the directive could actually strengthen DOGE's legal position in the long run.Finally, parental discretion is advised as Greg and Andy react with disgust to reports that NSA, CIA, and DIA employees spent their work hours in two NSA LGBT chatrooms discussing their trans identities and explicit fetishes. Even worse, NSA leadership defends this behavior as "not only mission critical but mission imperative." Andy questions how these agencies, which repeatedly fail to anticipate major global events yet demand more funding, have time to foster and participate in such activities.Please visit out great sponsors:If I needed to find a doctor quickly, Zocdoc is what I'd use.

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to talk to PEN America's Jeremy Young about what a second Trump administration holds in store for higher education. It was an informative—and sobering—conversation. Over the next four years, we should be prepared for a tsunami of ideologically-driven threats to academic freedom, campus free expression and the basic integrity of higher education. If you would rather read than listen, there is a transcript attached below. Show NotesPEN America's *Educational Censorship* page is a terrific resourceOn Christopher Rufo, see Benjamin Wallace-Wells, “How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory,” New Yorker, June 18, 2021 and Michael Kruse, “DeSantis' Culture Warrior: ‘We Are Now Over the Walls,'” Politico, March 24, 2023. For Rufo's take on critical race theory, in his own words, see this YouTube video. Here is the full text of Executive Order 13950, which became the template for most of the anti-CRT (or “divisive concepts”) laws passed in red states.

TranscriptJeff: So, we're looking forward to a second Trump administration.Jeremy: Are we looking forward to a second Trump administration?Amna: No…towards.Jeff: We are anticipating…I personally am dreading a second Trump administration.Amna: This is Banished and I'm Amna Khalid, along with my colleague Jeff Snyder. Jeff and I were delighted to have the chance to catch up with PEN America's Jeremy Young at the recent American Historical Association conference in New York City. He's one of the most informed and astute analysts of government driven censorship in higher education today. We started by asking him to tell us a little about PEN America.Jeremy: PEN America is a 102 year old organization that exists at the intersection of literature and human rights. It is one of 140 PEN centers around the world which are in a loose network of PEN Centers governed by PEN International. PEN America's mission is to celebrate literature and defend the freedoms that make it possible, of which two of the foremost are academic freedom and freedom of expression.Amna: And what's your specific role?Jeremy: I am the Director of State and Higher Education Policy at PEN America, which means that I oversee our Freedom to Learn program, which leads actions and responses to educational censorship legislation, largely from the state governments, but also from the federal government. Things like DEI bans, critical race theory restrictions, and various other types of restrictions on faculty governance and university autonomy.Amna: We're eager to hear your predictions on what the higher ed sector should be bracing for with the second Trump administration. But first, Jeremy, could you please remind us of the nature of the attacks against higher education during Trump 1.0?Jeremy: In the summer and fall of 2020, this really happened late in the first Trump administration, there was a national panic around critical race theory, and this was created by Chris Rufo and some others really as a response, a backlash, if you will, against the George Floyd protests, the Black Lives Matter movement, the popularity of the 1619 Project, and so on, this sort of moment of racial reckoning. And so Rufo and others (Rufo is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute) decided to use this term critical race theory, which of course is an academic term with a particular set of meanings but to, as he put it, decodify and recodify it, essentially weaponize it to mean things that weren't all that connected to the actual theory of critical race theory and were really just a sort of catchall for criticisms of DEI and other race-based pedagogies and ideas. And so Rufo was able to convince president Trump to issue an executive order 13950 called Race and Sex Stereotyping that laid out a list of nine divisive concepts which bore some passing resemblance to critical race theory, but really were vague, and general, and banned all sorts of practices related to race, gender, and identity, and ideas related to race, gender, and identity that were unclear and difficult to interpret. Originally, this was a restriction aimed solely at trainings in government agencies…the executive order never went into effect. It was stayed by a court and repealed on the first day of the Biden administration. But that language of the divisive concepts then began to appear in state legislatures aimed now squarely at education. At first, at K-12 institutions primarily, and over time, higher education became more and more of the target.In 2023, we started to see a shift toward sort of broad spectrum attacks on higher education, moving away from some of the direct speech restrictions of the critical race theory bans, in part because of court cases that had gone adversely for those restrictions, and instead restricting broad swaths of university governance, including DEI offices, the ability of a university to manage diversity work on its own as a sort of shared governance function, tenure restrictions on faculty governance, restrictions on curriculum, which I think are going to be very prominent in 2025.Amna: You mentioned backlash to the 2020 racial reckoning as a key factor driving the anti-CRT movement. Can you say something more about where this opposition to CRT and now DEI is coming from?Jeremy: I think that there are several causes that are inseparable from one another. I think there are people who actually do want to restrict those particular ideas on campus, who want to advance a sort of triumphalist Western canon narrative of America as the victor, and they're just very opposed to any discussions that paint the United States in any way that is not hyper-patriotic and perfect. There's absolutely some racism, some sexism, some, some discrimination, discriminatory bias that's involved.I also think that there is a real desire to simply crush university power that I think comes out of the educational realignment that we have seen over the last 10 years. Kamala Harris won college educated Americans by 14 points, and four years ago, Joe Biden won them by four, and prior to the 2016 election, there was essentially no difference between the parties, really, at any time in American history on the axis of college education. There is now a sense I think among some conservative forces that instead of the long-time conservative project of reforming universities, having more viewpoint diversity, think of the Koch Centers in various institutions. Instead they're a place where liberals go to get educated, so we should just crush them, right? So I think that's part of it. It's just the goal of taking away universities' autonomy on everything is a key component.And the third component is political gain. And that is the one that has fluctuated the most over this period. Glenn Youngkin won a come from behind victory running on criticizing critical race theory in K-12 schools. And Steve Bannon said in 2021, I think about critical race theory and I see 50 new House seats in the midterm elections. Now, when that didn't happen, I think it began to become clear that these attacks are not as salient as they were thought to be. I think in 2023 and 2024, there was a real move away from that, especially with, also with the collapse of the DeSantis presidential campaign, which was built entirely around this idea of him being, fighting the war on woke. There was a sense that, maybe you still want to do these things, but now it's going to be quiet, it's going to be stealth mode, because there's no political gain to be gotten from having a big press release around this, around the Stop WOKE Act. But the other two motivations, the motivation of restricting certain ideas about race; and the motivation of smashing the power of higher education, those have remained constant.Jeff: Very succinct and helpful. Thank you. You and your colleague Jeffrey Sachs recently wrote an informative and sobering piece about Trump's plans for higher ed in 2025 and beyond. Maybe you could tell us a little about your key predictions. The first one you mention is jawboning. What is jawboning and why should we be worried about it?Jeremy: Jawboning, put simply, is when government officials, instead of passing a law requiring someone who isn't a government official to do something, they simply browbeat or bully or threaten them into doing it. In some ways you can look at the congressional hearings as a form of jawbonings or making threats against presidents at Columbia and Harvard and so on. But the classic example is actually what we're seeing at the state level where lawmakers are simply going to university presidents and say, saying, okay, we're not going to pass a DEI ban or a curriculum restriction. We're going to simply request that you make one on your own or we'll cut your funding. Or we'll pass one next year that's worse than anything you could imagine. It's a very intimate form of censorship, right? It takes restrictions out of the legislative process where they can be challenged at a hearing; out of the judicial process where they can be challenged on constitutional grounds; and every single one of these bills has at least some constitutional infirmities. And instead makes it just a threat, right? We're gonna cut your budget. What are you gonna do about that? It's a very difficult position for presidents to be in because they don't have a lot of leverage.Jeff: I think it was Yale historian Timothy Snyder who coined the term anticipatory obedience.  He said it was a dynamic that's often seen under conditions of rising authoritarianism. So you've got individuals and groups that start to make concessions they think will appease the powers that be. Is there a connection here to jawboning?Jeremy: Yes, so we talk about over compliance and pre-compliance. We're not going to comply with the letter of the law, we're going to comply with the spirit of the law. There is a law in Alabama that passed in 2024 that restricts some elements of DEI, but does not actually ban outright the DEI offices. And every university in Alabama has treated it as though it is an outright ban. And that's significant, in particular, because of the nature of these laws. You know, you go look at a set of statutes in a state legislature or the federal government, what you'll notice is that most laws are very precise. Think about traffic laws. What are you allowed to do on the road? It's very specific. You can drive this many miles an hour this particular way. There's no room for interpretation. There's no room for judgment because the goal is to make you comply with the law. These laws are intentionally vague. They ban broad swaths of ideas which are never defined in the laws.What does it mean to say, for instance, one of the divisive concepts, to say that you're not allowed to say that the United States is fundamentally racist. What does that mean? It doesn't say in the law what that means. It's left up to your interpretation, which means whoever is going to enforce that law gets to decide whether you violate it. That is actually a constitutional violation. It's against the 14th Amendment. And while the courts have found all sorts of infirmities with these laws, that's the one they've found the most consistency. Not freedom of speech, not racial discrimination but vagueness. So over-complying with a vague law is, it's difficult to avoid because these laws lend themselves to over-compliance because they're so vague. But it's also vitally important to avoid doing that.The other thing that we see is pre-compliance, which is just imagining that the legislature is going to pass a law but then whether or not they do it. We intervened with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, one of the seven accrediting bodies because they were basically enacting what a restriction in Project 2025 that would have forbidden them to have a DEI standard for universities they accredit. And just doing it preemptively.It's not clear whether the education department is able to pass that restriction without legislation. And it's not clear whether legislation or the regulation would survive a court challenge. And they're just saying we'll just take it out. That's pre-compliance. You don't want to do that. And what we argued successfully, is that, again, even if you don't think an accreditor should have a DEI standard, we don't take a position on that. The worst time to get rid of your DEI standard is one month before a new administration that's promised to ban it tells you to. That's the moment when you put up your back and say, no, we're not going to comply with this.Jeff: Jeremy, tell us a little bit more about the new Trump administration's plans to disrupt the conventional work of accreditors.Jeremy: So higher education institutions are accredited by one of seven accrediting bodies, six of which have historically served certain regions, but now under new federal regulations the university can work with any of the seven accreditors. But they still tend to be concentrated in regions.Accreditation is really the only thing that separates a real substantive university from a diploma mill; and the way that accreditation is enforced, is that the Department of Education will only provide federal student financial aid, which 55 percent of all students receive, to schools that it recognizes as legitimate accreditors, which currently is those seven institutional accreditors. They are private or nonprofit organizations. They're run by academics. They have their pluses and minuses, but they are pretty much the guarantor of institutional quality in higher education. And if you look at Project 2025, everything that they say they want to do to higher education is focused on accreditation. They have identified these accreditors as the soft underbelly of higher education. And the simplest thing that they want to do and that they probably will at least try to do is to ban accreditors from having DEI standards, of which six of the seven currently do.But they really want to go further. What they really want to do is to undermine the system of accreditation itself by allowing any jurisdiction, any state, to either charter its own accreditor or serve as its own accreditor. So Ron DeSantis could become the accreditor for all universities in Florida. And now instead of those universities having DEI offices, he can say you cannot be accredited in the state of Florida unless you've banned DEI and basically instituted a classical curriculum, a Hillsdale style classical curriculum. It's a little more complicated than project 2025 makes it sound. Our analysis is that while they may attempt to do it through regulatory action, the process of negotiated rulemaking in the Department of Education is sufficiently complex that it would probably stop them from doing it and so that probably means that they need legislation to change the Higher Education Act, which would be subject to a filibuster.So this is something that we will be watching to see if they try to do it administratively. It may not be possible. And we'll also be watching if they try to slip it into one of those reconciliation bills that are being proposed that would be able to go through without a filibuster.Jeff: So that's how the accreditation system might be weaponized. You and Sacks also identify Title VI enforcement by the Office of Civil Rights as a key area of concern. Maybe we can break this down into its component parts. What is the Office of Civil Rights and what's Title VI?Jeremy: Sure. So the Office of Civil Rights is an office within the Department of Education that ensures that educational institutions meet the requirements of the various civil rights laws. It covers Title VI funding, which is funding that is tied to financial aid for universities, and it makes sure that institutions that are receiving federal financial aid are following these civil rights protections. It is an office does good work and we have a good relationship with the office.We have some concerns about the way that the Biden administration has been investigating and enforcing agreements with universities around antisemitism. We expect things to get far worse in the new administration. We expect that any university that has any sort of protest or any faculty member who expresses pro-Palestinian views is going to be investigated and sanctioned by the Office of Civil Rights. We expect they're going to launch lawsuits. They're going to really go after universities. So it is an office that is going to be used in some really aggressive ways to restrict speech on campus.Jeff: In terms of restricting speech, you and Sachs are especially worried about the trend on the part of colleges and universities, not to mention states and the federal government, to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism. Why is this so concerning to you both?Jeremy: So the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism is a very interesting document. It starts with a description that is quite thoughtful and then it gives a list of examples of things that could be forms of antisemitism or could accompany antisemitism, and that list includes things like singling out the state of Israel for special criticism that other states are not singled out for that do engage in the same actions or just you know criticizing Zionism, things like that. Which in the context of what that definition was designed for yes, sometimes when you see those statements, it's worth perking your ears up and asking, is this accompanying antisemitism or not?What the laws are doing, and this comes from a model bill that the Goldwater Institute wrote in 2016, and it's now being suffused into all these federal and state policies, is to take those examples of possible antisemitism and change it from possible to definite antisemitism. So anytime you criticize the state of Israel, it's antisemitism. And then writing that into law, saying that universities have to treat this as any instance of this broad definition of antisemitism as hate speech or as a form of harassment. The author of that definition, Kenneth Stern has repeatedly said that it is not designed to be used in that way. In fact, he said it's unconstitutional to use it in that way. And yet that's what we're seeing. So that's the concern. It's not that you shouldn't have a definition of anti Semitism, although I will say our statutes tend not to define particular types of hate speech because it's too subjective, right? This is the reason that we have definitions like severe, pervasive, and targeted for harassment. You're looking at a pattern of behavior because each individual case is protected by free expression.Jeff: I understand that the Office of Civil Rights is currently conducting dozens of Title VI investigations stemming from campus protests over the war in Gaza. There are widespread allegations of antisemitism, many of which are accompanied by competing charges of Islamophobia. How do you think we should make sense of this?Jeremy: These are complex situations. Lots of universities are getting them wrong. Some universities are being overly censorious, some not enforcing harassment protections. And it's right and proper for OCR to investigate these things. The problem is that they are not always coming up with the right findings. That they're not always protecting free expression, balancing free expression adequately with the need to protect students from harassment. We're seeing universities implement draconian time, place and manner restrictions on speech. So just the fact that OCR and the Congress are making all these threatening noises about restricting speech leads a lot of universities to do the censor's work for them.Amna: Jeremy mentioned one other thing the new Trump administration has made ramblings about, which is ramping up the endowment tax on the country's wealthiest institutions. Please see an informative Chronicle of Higher Education article by Philip Levine, linked in the show notes.What all these attacks or interventions, depending on your point of view, have in common, is that they seek to undermine the autonomy of colleges and universities. Here's Jeremy.Jeremy: University autonomy is not a principle that is very widely understood in the United States. It's much more common in Europe where there's an autonomy index and all sorts of things as a way of protecting academic freedom. But it's a vital component of academic freedom. We think about academic freedom in the U.S. primarily as being the freedom of an individual faculty member to speak their mind or to engage in their research or teaching. But, in reality, that freedom can only be protected so long as the people overseeing it, the university administration, are free from the ideological control of the government. The key here is ideological control. We aren't saying that the government doesn't have a budgetary responsibility to oversee the university, or that there isn't a role for the government in community relations, or student success, or access and completion, or any of these things. But when it comes to ideas, what ideas can be present on a campus, whether it's in the classroom, whether it's in a DEI office, anywhere on campus, that is not the government's business, and it cannot be the government's business, or ultimately everyone on campus is simply going to be currying favor with whatever political party is in charge.Amna: Jeremy, this has been wonderful and you've been so kind to give us so much time. Thank you.Jeff: Thank you. It's an absolute pleasure.Amna: That was our conversation with Jeremy Young of PEN America on what Trump 2.0 portends for higher education.

DEI Under Siege: Trump and Corporate America Roll Back Equity Efforts

The rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives is intensifying as President-elect Donald Trump and major corporations lead the charge. Trump has tapped conservative activist Christopher Rufo to draft a federal plan tying university funding to the removal of DEI programs, threatening billions of dollars in aid to institutions like Harvard, which received $686 million in research funds last year. Rufo, known for his controversial views on race and gender, aims to eliminate what he calls discrimination under the guise of DEI. Meanwhile, Walmart, the nation's largest private employer, has abandoned key racial equity goals, supplier diversity initiatives, and its participation in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. Critics argue these rollbacks undermine progress and disproportionately harm marginalized communities. Corporations and policymakers are turning their backs on equity.

You said he was going to, and now his upcoming interview hasn't been spoken about for the last few episodes.He said he would but his PR team put the kibosh on it. Please send any guest recs, dissents, and other comments to dish@andrewsullivan.com. Our episode with Sam Harris last week was a smash hit, driving more new subs than any other guest in a while. A fan writes:I always really like your conversations with Sam Harris. You always seem to bring out the best in each other.A listener dissents:On your episode with Sam Harris — besides the fact that it was an “interview” of you, not him — your insistence that Harris and Biden haven't done anything about immigration needs more investigation. For example, see this new piece in the NYT:The Opinion video above tells the little-known story of how Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris worked behind the scenes to get the border crisis under control. I found that they acted strategically, out of the spotlight, since the earliest days of the administration. They even bucked their own party and fulfilled Republican wishes, though they've gotten little credit for it. Their hard work finally paid off when illegal crossings dropped significantly this year.Sam said toward the end of the episode, “I hope we haven't broken the Ming vase here. … We both want a Harris presidency. … It's the least bad option.” I listen to Kamala all the time, and your rants against her are warranted and should be done, but honestly, the two of you have done more to smash the bloody vase than carry it!I tried to make it through that NYT op-ed video. It's an absurdist piece of administration spin. There was nothing to stop Biden enforcing his 2024 executive order in 2021. He didn't because his core policy is expediting mass migration, not controlling it. As for Harris, it's not my job to be her campaign spokesman. I know a lot of legacy journalists seem to think it's their job to push her over the finishing line. But that has never been my thinking. I'd like both Trump and Harris to lose. But if I had to pick one, it would be Trump. The idea of four years of Harris is soul-sucking.Sam is also putting the episode on his own podcast, so the conversation was intended to be a two-way “interview” — though the Dishcast in general is always meant to be a conversation. On the following clip, a listener writes:You're absolutely right. But this is so obvious, and the fact that Harris can't articulate what would clearly be advantageous to her indicates she is incapable of clearly articulating positions. She's turned out to be the same horrid candidate she was in 2019. Unfortunately.Another writes about that clip, “As a prosecutor she makes a great case against voting for Trump, but she doesn't have the defense attorney skills needed to make the case for herself.” This next listener has an idea for a Sister Souljah moment:Sam asked you what Harris could do in the final stretch, and you both agreed that she needed to show some independence from Biden and also distance herself from the craziness of the woke left. I want to point you to my latest Substack post, which points out an opportunity she currently has to do both in one press conference.In the past couple of weeks, the Biden Justice Department has sued the Maryland State Police, the Durham Fire Department, and the South Bend Police Department over “racially disparate”  employment tests. They are testing skills such as literacy, basic math, and the ability to communicate, all in the context of doing the actual job. The DOJ is calling it discrimination because black people do worse on the test than white people. There is also a physical test where you have to prove you have the minimum level of fitness to do the job, and the DOJ calls that sexist because fewer women are able to pass.This is obviously complete insanity. Anyone but the wokest of the left understand that these jobs require standards, and that implementing any objective standards is likely to have a disproportionate impact on race and gender. While Maryland and Durham quickly settled the suits and signed consent decrees, South Bend is fighting it. South Bend is, of course, the hometown of former mayor Pete Buttigieg. Harris could schedule a campaign event in South Bend with Mayor Pete where she defends the South Bend police and pledges that a Harris administration will drop this suit and not prosecute any similar cases. This could be a “Sister Souljah moment,” as Sam called for. It would also show independence from Biden, since his DOJ has been filing these suits. It could bring the last few undecideds over to her side. Dream on, I'm afraid. This kind of race discrimination and abandonment of objective standards in hiring is at the heart of Harris' leftism. She hasn't renounced it. Au contraire. Here's another clip from the Sam pod:Another listener writes:I happen to subscribe to both the Dishcast and Sam's podcast, so I know you both well. I'm so surprised that you two can't understand the appeal of Trump to one half of the country. Let's be honest and clear: Trump voters care LESS about preserving the system as-is (the peaceful transfer of power) than about RESCUING the nation from the cancer of woke. It is almost completely cultural.Trump supporters despise the anti-white, anti-male, anti-Christian hatred that has been so deeply ingrained into our daily lives. We all live in terror for wrong thought and wrong speech. We feel disgust for being called racist, misogynist, xenophobic — with the knowledge that woke progressives control the apparatus of power in our media, corporations, entertainment, and education. It is cancer when our entire body politic has been so thoroughly invaded by this malignant force.We are sick of this cancer. Sick. Sick. Sick. Kamala is a shill of this force. Her tepid disavowals (and convenient pivot to the center) are not genuine. We know who she is. She protects and metastasizes this cancer into every touchpoint of our lives. Sam says she is “no woke Manchurian candidate,” but he is wrong. Even if he IS right, why should we trust her when she so clearly made her wokeness clear in 2019? We shouldn't.The left is cancer. Trump is radiation. No one wants cancer and no one wants the radiation, but that's where we are.I feel you. I do. It's what makes this election so painful for me. Another listener comments on “the subject of why the Democrats and Harris can't say what the majority of Americans want to hear on issue after issue”:Isn't the fundamental problem very simply that the Overton window of the Democratic Party doesn't allow it? Harris may know that Americans want to hear a defense of fracking, but can a Dem really speak in favor of fracking at a San Francisco dinner party and expect to be invited back? Can a Dem really speak against the trans activist position? Against DEI? Against abuse of asylum rules at the Southern border? Of course not. Those are not acceptable positions in Dem activist and donor circles. Contra what Michelle Goldberg tried to say when she was on your podcast, or what Rahm Emanuel told Sam Harris, the activist position sets the limits of acceptable discourse among Democrats.All of us who live in NPR-listening land know this. I would never say what I actually think about gender revolutionaries at a social gathering in my left-liberal community, because it'd be the last social event I'd ever attend. It might be safe to talk about the need for some actual policing these days — that issue might get a few cautious nods — but everyone in the room would be nervous, because who knows if one of these guests we've never met before who works at a nonprofit is going to turn out to be a social justice activist and trot out “systemic racism” and the carceral state and all the rest of it. Maybe Rahm and Michelle are right that most Democrats don't actually buy most of far-left activist thinking, but that doesn't mean it's okay to disagree. And remember, most Democrats are riddled with guilt about everything: climate change, systemic racism, patriarchy, theft of land from Indigenous peoples … it's all our fault, isn't it? So we need to be humble, check our privilege, and listen to the activists and their moral truths.By the way, I listened to your podcast with Sam only a week after finishing Tom Holland's Dynasty — about Caesar Augustus and his heirs through Nero. I know comparisons between America and ancient Rome can get tiring, but holy s**t: an elite appealing to the masses not as one of them, but as their tribune? Check. Entertainment value winning the day every time over serious speeches by humorless patrician elites? Check. Amusing the plebs by publicly humiliating the most esteemed senators, reducing them to flattery and groveling? Check.  I'm not saying Trump is knowledgeable enough to copy a Caesar's playbook intentionally, but he seems to have stumbled on a remarkably similar (and similarly effective) approach.I have explored the Roman parallels myself. One more listener on the episode:The conversation with Sam Harris was really what we need right now: insightful and often humorous in light of the grave situation we face. It's not Trump I'm afraid of; it's everyone else. If Trump does not win, I fear there will be violence — and he won't even have to call for it this time. Whether it's business or politics, the leader sets the tone, and Trump's tone is angry and permissive of trampling perceived enemies. I don't think it's a stretch to predict self-formed Trump militias springing up as a pretense to defend election integrity, hunt down illegal migrants, or generally “keep order” where another organization has failed to do so. I pray that I'm wrong. Another thing to consider is that if Trump loses, we won't be rid of him. He's controlled the Republican Party and influenced the culture wars for the last four years, and we won't see that endSam brought up Nixon, and it's something I've been thinking a lot about in the Trump years. Watergate — the foolish break-in itself — was nothing compared to what Trump has said and done since 2016, but the scandal took down the president because the public perceived that the president's behavior was reprehensible to the office. Nixon KNEW he lied and had enough integrity to actually resign over it. I was a kid then and can remember how appalled people were by Watergate and thought of Nixon as a disgrace. How things have changed in 50 years.I'm also worried about leftist violence if Trump wins. Another writes, “I thought your episode with Tina Brown was tremendous”:She's an exceptionally astute and admirable woman. I immediately took out a full year to her new substack. It was touching to listen to the account of her model marriage to Harold Evans (I think the Sunday Times was at its greatest when he was the editor). And the description of her autistic son and their time together shows her to be a beautiful, loving mother, as well as a towering intellect.I particularly appreciated the comparison you both made of US to UK politicians:Like you, Andrew, I studied at Oxford in the mid-1980s and always felt that institutions like the Oxford Union (where I saw you, Boris, and Micheal Gove perform, amongst others), and later Prime Minister's Question Time, toughened up UK politicians to a degree that is unheard of in the US. I actually had the pleasure of witnessing Question Time live when Thatcher was PM. What struck me was not only the substantive issues raised during those sessions, but also the sheer brilliance of the repartee. Thatcher gave as good as she got, and she made mincemeat of the Labour opposition. Question Time compared to the deliberations of the fatuous Congress is like comparing Picasso's work to that of a 5-year-old finger painter. It doesn't even bear thinking about how Biden would cope in an environment like that, let alone Trump. Both you and Tina come from that glorious UK debating tradition, and it shines through consistently throughout the episode.My massive disappointment when I first watched the US House and Senate was related to this. So unutterably tedious. Another on the Tina pod:If not too late, perhaps this will offer some help to Tina Brown, as your other listeners have suggested communities for adults with special needs: Marbridge in Austin, TX. Our daughter is only 12 and she has a rare genetic condition that basically means she will not be able to fully integrate into society. We are in the process of learning about opportunities for her to have some level of independence as she ages, if she so desires.Here's a suggestion for a future guest:I'm glad you are gaining new subscribers, but I think it may be time to cull the herd and have on someone who will make the smugs' blood boil. The brilliant and caustic Heather Mac Donald — one of a few prominent conservatives to excoriate Trump for January 6th — is scrupulously honest yet merciless in attacking left-wing hypocrisies on topics ranging from race and policing to the DEI takeover of classical music.She sure is. Amy Wax anyone? Another rec:I know you have quit Twitter somewhat, so I am not sure if you know who Brianna Wu is, but I strongly suggest looking her up. Bari Weiss just interviewed her:I think you and Wu would be absolutely fantastic, and I think you would really like her — as would Dishheads.Yep, great rec — we're already planning to reach out to Wu. Another plug for a trans guest:In case you didn't see it, here's an interesting interview with a trans man, Kinnon MacKinnon, who researches detransition. I found it refreshing to hear someone speak about detransition from an empirical perspective. It's a real phenomenon that to date has either been denied by trans activists or turned into red meat for the right-wing. A fact of logic so often forgotten is that two things can be true at the same time. Thus, adults who are truly trans should be allowed to live the lives they want; AND society should protect children against fervent trans activists who would rush them into radical “gender-affirming care.” The reality of sex (as opposed to gender) needs to be more firmly established in the public's understanding. In short, we need more honest brokers in the discussion about trans issues if we are ever going to find the proper balance between allowing adults to make their own life decisions and respecting biological females on issues where sex (not gender) should be the overriding variable on which to make public policy and healthcare decisions. I don't know if Kinnon MacKinnon is truly an honest broker, but he seems to have potential. Perhaps you could consider him for a Dishcast.I passionately defend the right of trans adults to do whatever they need to make their lives as fruitful as possible. It's children — and children alone — I'm concerned with. On the topic of sex-changes for kids, a frequent dissenter writes:When confronted with evidence that only a minuscule percentage of kids in the US are being prescribed puberty blockers and hormones in the late 2010s, it's an artless dodge to try to reframe the discussion around the experiences of 124 kids who presented at a UK gender clinic in the 1990s, the vast majority of whom never transitioned at all. You cannot use that data to imply that the majority of kids being prescribed puberty blockers in America today are actually gay kids destined for detransition and regret. You are distorting the facts to fit your narrative.Time and time again, the evidence shows that there is no epidemic of “transing” gay youth.

Today we open with a reporter from the BBC having to report that Hezbollah has been digging terror tunnels right in front of the noses of the United Nations, leading the IDF to conclude there is no way the UN wasn't aware. Once again, the little dictators club is on the side of the terrorists and not on the side of people yearning to be free. I then take a moment to address the story that opened yesterday's show quoting a Sheriff in California. I specifically said there wasn't an actual attempt, but that the police believe they thwarted an attempted plot to harm Donald Trump. The next big item is the revelation that Kamala Harris plagiarized several sections of her 2009 book. Investigative journalist Christopher Rufo shows us how much she cut/pasted from other without sourcing the material. Unsurprisingly, the NYTimes was the first paper to try to make Rufo the villain and Harris the victim. But, CNN and other are making that propaganda stick. Which leads to the newest mantra I have been using to describe the Harris-Walz campaign. Everything they do falls into one of three categories: fakery, photo-ops and fiction. That's all they have as manufactured candidates. There is no real substance to them, or, what is real, they want to keep hidden. CBS News is caught once again selectively editing pieces, this time to hurt Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. Thankfully, Johnson recorded himself and was able to show what he really said versus the version CBS News aired. So, when CBS claims they have found 230 medical professionals who say Trump needs to release his medical records, I suggest they take a flying leap off of a tall building. In fact, Scott Jennings of CNN said basically the same thing. In desperation to gain the black male vote, Harris-Walz released a series of enticements to win back their support. Not only is her list unconstitutional, but also smacks of some of the worst condescension and pandering I have seen in a long time. For many younger black male voters, it's not working. In many, it's actually making them even more sure they are not going to support Harris. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) explained he is Constitutionally mandated to remove non-citizens from the voting roles. Yet, this DOJ is suing him 25 days from the election to keep the illegals on the voting roles. Remember, Alejandro Mayorkas said it is preposterous to suggest their open border policy is all about getting them to vote. So, to close out this topic, I turn to my good buddy Jim Gossett for a song about “Dead people” voting, sung to the tune of “Short People” by Randy Newman. Former President Bill Clinton stepped in it when he was on the Harris-Walz trail in Georgia. It was so bad, Donald Trump has already turned it into a campaign ad. Tim Walz just told an audience that we cannot have four more years. Yes, you heard that correctly. He said we cannot allow four more years of this to happen. I agree! Finally, ABC News had to fact-check social media and the Harris campaign over a Trump Town Hall. It's sad to see what desperation leads so many who are emotionally unhinged to do.

Chris Rufo wrote “America's Cultural Revolution” last year as a warning to conservatives about the radical Left's takeover of institutions—from business and government to education and entertainment.

He attributes the change to the gruesome and deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas and the radical Left's unflinching (and often antisemitic) criticism of Israel that followed."After 10/7, when those same people who were marching for BLM, who were pushing trans in schools, who were ramping up DEI, when they're out there celebrating the terrorists who butchered, raped, and murdered innocent people, I think it caused this moment of horror, but also this moment of clarity," Rufo told The Daily Signal.The popular writer, filmmaker, and activist—whose work is available at ChristopherRufo.com—was in Washington, D.C., last week to accept The Heritage Foundation's prestigious Salvatori Prize.
