Summary
Jimmy welcomed John Jay College economics professor and former investigative journalist Christian Parenti to the show to discuss the fundamental lie at the foundation of the whole “wokeness” phenomenon — specifically that the act of centering identity in the political discourse inevitably, and by design, marginalizes discussion of class while eroding worker solidarity.
Specific topics covered include whether wokeness can continue to expand in influence or will taper off and die, why young people will turn away from the woke agenda in favor of more pressing economic concerns and a preschool that warned children not to mis-gender animals.
Plus a segment on a recent clip from MSNBC featuring a discussion of why Arab-Americans in swing states are abandoning Kamala Harris.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Kurt Metzger!
