Corporations have spent billions of dollars on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs over the last few years. Even the Department of Defense has a DEI program. While advocates say these programs are frameworks seeking to promote “the fair treatment and full participation of all people,” they are really programs of reverse racism. One false assumption inherent in DEI is that people of color can’t succeed on a level playing field, with the result that white people are being discriminated against. But now it looks like conservatives are using the same legal tactics that brought down affirmative action to get rid of DEI.
In other stories, even some renowned liberals admit that Georgia’s indictment of Trump is unjust; a Montana judge made an astounding ruling in favor of 16 young people who were used as pawns by a climate-change nonprofit; and someone published a book blaming the Maui fires on climate change — while the fires were still raging.
In the second half of the show, Alex Newman interviews former public-school teacher-turned-whistleblower John Stamper about the radical ideological training sessions that public-school teachers are subjected to, and 2A for Today’s Zoe Warren talks about a legislative measure in Oregon that the NRA has described as the “nation’s most extreme” gun-control law.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
