Summary

Netflix in early September is releasing a French film, "Cuties,” which has been criticized for its hypersexualization of young children. Some of the promotional material for the film has likewise been criticized, for which Netflix has since apologized.

Lila Rose, the founder and president of Live Action, a nonprofit opposed to abortion and dedicated to promoting a culture of life, characterizes the film as “the outright promotion of pedophilia" and joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss it.

We also cover these stories:

The Justice Department has deployed about 200 federal agents to Kenosha, Wisconsin, amid the violence and unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, an African American man, on Sunday.
President Barack Obama praised the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks for boycotting a playoff game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night in response to the Blake shooting.
An additional 1 million Americans filed for unemployment insurance benefits last week.
