Summary

Companies like Disney and Nike have become more woke and frequently make the news for their radical political positions. Employees of these companies frequently push the larger business to move even further left, and take even more woke positions.

But what happens if someone is an employee of a woke company and isn't woke themselves?

Terry Pell, president of the Center for Individual Rights, says the consequences can be dire.

"HR departments have become increasingly woke, and corporate leaders are afraid of Twitter mobs attacking and destroying the reputation of the company," explains Pell.

"The employers now are highly sensitive to outside criticism and outside activists know this," he adds. "So they prey on these companies and they basically threaten to expose them for being racist if they don't go along with whatever the activists want."

Pell joins the show to discuss how the woke took over business, and how we can counter them.

We also cover these stories:

  • The Department of Homeland Security "pauses" its controversial Disinformation Governance Board.
  • The homeland security agency also prepares for violence following a Supreme Court ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
  • The S&P 500 ESG Index removes Elon Musk's Tesla from the list.
  • All 50 states have an average price per gallon of gas that is higher than $4.
