Starting point is 00:00:00 So the President wants to pass a new police reform bill, all right, and it's the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Okay, it's already passed the House by a very slim margin. I don't think it's going to pass the Senate. Mr. Biden wants to put pressure on the Republican senators to pass this bill. The problem with the bill, and it is problematic, okay, is that it has in it eliminating qualified immunity for law enforcement, all law enforcement. So if you make an arrest, a person you arrest can sue you if you're a cop, and you can't afford to pay those lawsuits, to pay those lawyers, and the unions will quickly get bankrupt if they do. So this destroys the criminal justice system in the United States. I'm not even getting into the other stuff. I mean, ban, no knock, warrants and all that.
Starting point is 00:01:10 That would hurt the criminal justice system, but this would destroy it. Now, once again, the question becomes, does Joe Biden know that? Does he understand that? Is he capable enough to understand that by including this in the bill? Still, you destroy American law enforcement everywhere. You answer the question. Now, you know the progressive left wants to destroy law enforcement. They don't want to have an effective criminal justice system.
Starting point is 00:01:48 They want to let the criminals go. That's the progressive mantra. It has been that way for decades. All right. So I don't believe any Republican senator is going to vote for this. And so they'll filibuster it. But that's why this George Floyd family meeting is taking place, in addition to the humane aspect of it. Now, a guy who's leading this Destroy the Police is Benjamin Crump. Do you know that name? He's the lawyer who's made millions and millions of dollars representing the family. of people that the police have mistreated. Okay? Crump has made tens of millions of dollars. But he's also leading the charge to dismantle policing in the USA, Willa Tate.
Starting point is 00:02:41 We all pray that George Floyd was the tipping point that it would lead to a new precedent where we would see a reduction a reduction in these unjustified and necessary killings of black people in America. However, we have been reminded repeatedly that we still have a long way to go. All right. Now, you can disdain Mr. Crump, but he has some evidence on his side. On May 21st, some video was released by the state of Louisiana.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Very disturbing video. A guy in 2019, Ronald Green, was pulled over by Louisiana State Troopers, punched, dragged, they stunned gunned him, and he died. Now, the troopers said that he died because he crashed his SUV into a tree. That was not true. The cops killed him. All right. And it's horrifying video. Now, Mr. Green was, according to the coroner, under the influence of cocaine and alcohol, when he died. But that doesn't mean that police can kill you. So this is Union Parish in Louisiana. So this is the kind of stuff that gives Benjamin Crump and the progressive left, ammunition, sorry to use that word, but I have to, to destroy police. So it's very few police officers
Starting point is 00:04:31 that do this, but it's done. And now with video all over the place, it becomes a thousand times more intense, because you can see it. So I don't know, with 80,000 law enforcement, officers in America, you're always going to have some of that. It's not, I'm not making an excuse. But if you, if you destroy the entire criminal justice system, because you have some rogue cops, bad cops, then we all are in danger. So let me back that up, okay? The riots last year. Total bill, $2 billion for the riots of paid insurance claims. Two billion. In Seattle, two million in damage, one dead shot, four people shot, one shot to death. You remember Seattle, the Jenny Durkin, I'll give the radicals, you know, five blocks in the city.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Portland, Oregon, totally out of control to this day. Ted Wheeler, the mayor, $23 million, of Portland doesn't have in damages and lost revenue. One death reported. Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, okay, another far left loon, $550 million in damage to Minneapolis. All right, totally demoralize the police department. Now they have so much crime that Minneapolis, the city has to bring in other police agencies to protect its citizens. All right? This is all after to George Floyd. On and on and on and on. Almost every city in the country, the murder rate is up, African American on African American crime. That's what it is. It's going crazy. All right. And then you have in Chicago, and I'll give you this status over the weekend in a moment,
Starting point is 00:06:31 the mayor is saying, hey, I'm not going to talk to any white reporters. She could not have done that before the George Floyd deal. Couldn't have done that. Now, she should be impeached All right, or recall whatever mechanism they have in Cook County, because that's blatantly racist. Everybody knows it. Have you heard the press go after her? Yeah. Uh-uh. So the New York Times is a story on Black Lives Matter and support for that organization is plummeting.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Why? Because people are catching on the $100 million they got from corporate donations is going to the people and they're buying million dollar houses with it. That's why, okay? I mean, come on. But the New York Times says, no, no, no, no, no. It's the Republicans and the white people who are objecting to less supportive
Starting point is 00:07:29 to Black Lives Matter. So you didn't tell me New York Times that honest black people think it's okay for the three women running the Global Foundation BLM Global Foundation, to buy million-dollar properties? Is that what you're telling me here? St. Louis, Nuddy Mayor again. I mean, this is on and on and on and on.
Starting point is 00:07:56 So this is Tashara Jones, and she wants to defund the police, strip four million from the police budget in St. Louis. Murder rates in a 50-year high, mayor? The murder rates 50-year. You want to take four million away from your cops? Now, these cities are small in the sense that the voting blocks are primarily minority. That's what happened in Philadelphia.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Most white people live outside the city. Same thing in St. Louis. And it's minority people inside the city that are voting for Laurie Lightfoot and putting these people in based on skin color. Get whitey or whatever it may be. time, the death toll is like never before seen in St. Louis. All right. So let me, do I have the stats here? No, I'll give you the stats on Chicago and New York City, the murder rate stats after our guest because it's warming up in a bullpen. All right, two polls, and then we'll get to the guest. African Americans listening to the national anthem.
Starting point is 00:09:09 I'm disposed by the Washington Post, 1,500 Americans. The question is very, very simple. When the national anthem is played or sung at sporting events, how does it make you feel? Positive, 71% of Americans say positive. They like it. Negative 6. That's it. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Neither, 22. They're eating popcorn, drink a beer. They don't care. By race, positive, white, 80%. negative three, neither 16. African American, positive 35%, neither 42%, negative 22%. Okay, that's the national anthem. But I like that number at 71% of Americans are positive when they hear the anthem. All right, here's a poll on media. Ready, this is from Rasmussen. Rasmussen is a pretty good pollster, and I don't say that I'm out many of them. So Rasmussen commissions T-I-P-P insights to get this. 1,300 adults, 53% do not trust traditional media. Made a mistake, this isn't Rasmussen. This is T-I-P-P, all right.
Starting point is 00:10:21 53% do not trust traditional media. That's corporate media. 40% do. Who are those people? Here's a Rasmusson. Just poll conservatives. And the question was, which of the following T-Networks do you watch the most often? Fox News 52% other than Fox News 48%.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Okay? So half of conservatives don't watch Fox News much anymore. I think that's because of the Arizona call on the election. I think that still hurts the image of Fox News. But the numbers are down at Fox, big time, everywhere. And that's because a lot of conservatives say, not going to watch it. So let's bring a guy who's trying to do something about this crazy media stuff. His name is Mike Davis.
Starting point is 00:11:12 He's coming on us from Denver, Colorado. He's the founder and president of unsilenced majority, a relatively new organization, which is opposed to cancel culture in all forms and corporate censorship in all forms. So, Mike, thanks for coming on and talk to us today. Very specifically, what is your organization doing? to try to combat the cancel culture? Thank you for having me on, Bill. So what we're trying to do with unsilenced majority,
Starting point is 00:11:46 which we launched last Monday, is organize everyday Americans, conservatives, independents, even Democrats who are tired of cancel culture, who are tired of the censorship, who are tired of the woke mobs, who are tired of being told they're racist because, you know, the Black Lives Matter, and this Marxist-driven ideology is telling us, is that we need, you know, with equity and critical race theory that we're just an inherently bad country and, you know, we need to be less racist in America. We're just, I think we're tired of that. And so what we're trying to do with unsilenced majority is organize a groundswell of people to fight
Starting point is 00:12:24 back. And so we have people going to our website, sign up for our email newsletter, sign up for our Twitter account, Facebook, parlor, YouTube. And so when there are issues that come up, we can activate these everyday Americans and fight back. All right. Now, how long have you been doing this and how many folks do you have? We have, so we just started last Monday, and we've had a huge overwhelming support on our website at unsilencedmajority.org, also on our Twitter at unsilencedorg. And we are making an impact already. We're getting a lot of earned media, and we're raising some issues.
Starting point is 00:13:04 like, for example, with Lieutenant Colonel Matt Lomeyer, Matthew Lomeyer in the space commands, he was just relieved of his command. He was just fired by the Biden Pentagon because he wrote a book and went on a podcast to talk about Marxism and the military. He was fired for this. And so we raised this as an issue, and now it just got raised from the general looking at this. It got raised to the Pentagon level because I think the Biden Pentagon realized they made a mistake here. We've seen with, you know, Dr. Scott Atlas. He was canceled.
Starting point is 00:13:36 He's a Stanford medical professor, Stanford doctor, and he was canceled from big tech because he raised the alarm months ago about the fact that these stay-home orders are causing more harm than good with COVID. We saw a command. Sorry about that. Go ahead. No, no, no. That's the primary cancel culture weapon is the Internet,
Starting point is 00:14:00 that you can be banned from. a lot of these social media companies if they don't like what you say and they'll make up a reason why but how can you and even a grassroots organization even if you got millions of people how can you go up against the social media company who are so wealthy and powerful and where are they going to care what you say well there's a couple ways you can go out and so the the biggest proponents enablers and enforcers of cancel culture are big tech and big big media. So what we're noticing what these corporations are, whether it's Coca-Cola, Major League Baseball, Delta, we don't think that these corporate CEOs are actually woke or actually
Starting point is 00:14:43 care about this stuff. All they care about is is they have these, you know, these woke employees and these activist shareholders who are raising a fuss. And so they want to quiet- But that's true, and you can hurt them. You can hurt them. I mean, Coca-Cola has been hurt big time. And now they're drawing back. The guy saying the CEO is saying, we're going to do this anymore. But with Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and all of that,
Starting point is 00:15:10 you're not going to be able to hurt them like you can hurt an individual company. Well, there are two ways you can hurt big tech. And one is to put pressure on attorneys general around the country, Congress,
Starting point is 00:15:25 the FTC, the antitrust division at the Justice Department to enforce our century-old antitrust laws and we have been doing that for the last year and it's actually it's been working so explain that we have so explain that mike so even i can understand it say you go to texas which is sympathetic to you and your group all right and you go to the attorney general and you go we have four texans who were booted off uh some social media company we'd like you to do what so we would say we need to enforce our antitrust laws. The reason these big tech monopolists have the power to do what they do,
Starting point is 00:16:06 Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, the reason they have the power to do what they do, the reason they are able to censor, to silence, to de-platform people with whom they disagree is because they have monopolies. And the reason we have monopolies is because we have antitrust amnesty in this country, or we did for over a decade where we did not enforce our century-old trust laws. And so by pushing these law enforcers at the federal level and at the state level to enforce our century-old antitrust laws, the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, you take away big tax power. Well, you're not going to get it from the federal level as long as the Biden administration is there. You know that. But states, you could, you know, theoretically, mobilize the
Starting point is 00:16:55 attorney general to say, we're going to file a lawsuit against whoever because they're restraining trade and they're violating people's rights of First Amendment. That's where you go. First Amendment rights, Mike. That's where you go. Now, do you have attorneys working with you? Do you have experts who can craft this stuff? We just started on Monday for the unsignless majority. We are raising our profile. We have extensive connections with attorneys all over America. We have extensive connections with law enforcement. We have extensive
Starting point is 00:17:31 connections with elected leaders in Congress. And in states all over America, we are going to be a force and we are going to be a counterbalance. And look, you're just an American citizen who's doing what he believes is his patriotic duty. Last
Starting point is 00:17:47 question. How can the folks watching us right now help you? I appreciate that bill they can go to unsilenced majority.org unsilenced majority.org and then also follow us on Twitter unsilenced org, Facebook, parlor, and YouTube. All right. So unsilenced majority is one word. Dot org. Even I could do that. I mean, that's right. All right, Mike. I want you to check in with us from time and time, see how it goes. Certainly, I think majority of Americans are on your side. and I hope they respond well to this interview.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Thanks again, Mike. Appreciate it. Radicals, as I mentioned, have taken on a lot of momentum, and I wrote a column on it on Bill O'Reilly.com. I hope you read the column, how the radical left has gained power so quickly because of corporate America. Corporate America is backing that.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Now, here's another example of that. So every year, New York City has a gay prize. parade, all right? But this year, the leaders of the parade are banning any New York City police officers who are gay from marching in it. All right, they say, quote, NYC Pride seeks to create safer spaces for black, indigenous people of color and gays at a time when violence against marginalized groups, specifically us and trans communities, has continued to escalate. Sense of safety and law enforcement is meant to provide can instead be threatening. Okay, so they're saying the cops, and the mayor of New York, the worst in the world, Bill de Blasio,
Starting point is 00:19:34 has actually said law enforcement has to keep a block away from the parade. Well, if I were the police commission, I'd say, no, we're going to enforce the law and protect the people in the parade. So we're not staying a block away. That's what I'd say to the mayor, and I'd say it publicly, not privately. Anyway, no police officer anywhere in this country should march in any parade in uniform with the exception of honoring other police agencies, the military, the Senate. No cause parades, okay, no police officers should march in uniform in. cause parades because that's not what they're there to do. They don't want to be divisive.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Okay, they can march in civilian clothes, fine, but not in uniform. But this attack from the pride people in New York City is just, and I don't know, I know a lot of cops. I don't know any cops who are going, don't like gay. They, you know, they trim like everybody else. They don't even know they're gay most of the time. All right? I mean, it's just insane. I don't think there's a lot of complaints from civilian gays against the New York City police. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. That would be big news. Tyler Perry, good guy, all right, Georgia-based guy, a big, big success in a show business. Here's what he said. Go. My mother taught me to refuse hate. She taught me to refuse blanket judgment. And in this time and with all of the internet and social media and
Starting point is 00:21:22 algorithms and everything that wants us to think a certain way, the 24-hour news cycle, it is my hope that all of us would teach our kids and not only to remember, just refuse hate. Don't hate anybody. Excellent, Tyler. I really admire your courage for doing that because the crowd in Hollywood has destroyed the film industry because it's so woke. and far left that most Americans, and I include myself, I'm very rarely going to go. I didn't even go see Godzilla versus King Kong. And I heard Godzilla had a T-shirt that said social justice,
Starting point is 00:21:59 but I might be a miss, that might not be true. But anyway, I didn't even go see that. I haven't got to see anything. I don't think I'm going to go see everything. I might see the Bond movie if it ever comes out, maybe. All right, but I'm done. I don't want to see these people. And the cancel culture, they've wiped it.
Starting point is 00:22:16 out 50% of the workforce. All you have to do in Hollywood, all you have to do, and you can do it anonymously, you don't even put your name on it, is accuse somebody of something you don't like. You don't like that person, accuse him something. Done. No two prizes. Finish. Gets in variety, gets in another thing, so-and-so did this. Anonymous sources tell us, bang. And if you conservative, forget it. Forget it. I said to Bruce Willis and maybe a couple of us. others, John Boyt, you can't work. If you're a marginal, if you're a director or a screenwriter, are you trying to get your stuff made, and you're a conservative,
Starting point is 00:22:56 or you're not woke, never. Destroy themselves. So I've been telling you and telling you and telling you, and I think most of you believe me, that the corporate media is dead, it's finished, okay? that this is network TV programs, network news, cable news, it's all over. Jimmy Kimmel, who does the late night show on ABC, Disney, he does a monologue, supposed to be funny, for all his sponsors.
Starting point is 00:23:33 It's called the Up Front Presentation. Now, I thought this is going to be on tape, but we can't find a tape. If anybody has it, send it to me. But I'm going to quote it, put it up on a screen. That's what Kimmel says. Things that the network are so desperate. We've had to resort to doing the right thing, inclusion. We want ABC, Disney, FX, Hulu, free form, ESPN, and not Geo, to be a safe space where anyone, no matter what their racial or ethnic background, their gender or sexual orientation, we want our platforms to be a place where everyone can bring their stories to die.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So Kimmel basically told his sponsors, nobody's watching. All right. Now, Kimmel, as you know, because his show on every night on ABC Disney gets about a million and a half viewers. Carson used to do nine million. Okay, so Jimmy's right. Nobody's watching. Why is nobody watching? Chris Rock knows. Chris Rock knows why nobody's watching the network and cable presentations anymore. Roll it. What happens is everybody gets safe. Right. And when everybody gets safe and nobody tries anything, things get boring. Right. So I see a lot of unfunny comedians. I see unfunny TV shows.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I see unfunny award shows. I see unfunny movies. Because no one's, everybody's scared to, like, you know, make a move. Right on. And you want to carry it into news. I got to tell you, I have never. my 45-year career on television, seen a more boring landscape on TV. Same people saying the same things. They're afraid. They're all afraid. All of them. Now, maybe there's a handful
Starting point is 00:25:31 that aren't afraid. That's not fair. Say all of them afraid. Not all of them. The vast majority. and they'll never ever challenge they don't do anything that isn't predictable they stay in their own little niche zone i mean i would never permit that on the o'reilly factor ever though you either had to be genuine and honest and be able to speak your mind or you didn't get on period cancel culture now you know this country singer morgan wailing okay so here's a big big album dangerous. It's a huge, huge hit. And he's got a lot of attention for the music. But then, but then in January, January 31st of this year, TMZ released an audio or a video of Mr. Wallen saying the N-word, all right, in a casual conversation. He said the N-word.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And it was audible. And Wallen admits it. So Wallen's 28 years old. So on Sunday, he wins three top billboard awards, top country male artists, top country artists in general, top country album. But he's not allowed to go to the ceremony in Los Angeles. He'd ban, banish, cancel, can't go. And his record label dropped him shortly after the N-word exposition, but now big loud records in Nashville, apparently picked them up again. We haven't been able to confirm that, but there's something about that. Now, here's the interesting part of this story. Wallin has apologized, profusely apologized. I'm going to read what he said, because this is the crux of it. He said, I'm embarrassed and sorry. I use an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I
Starting point is 00:27:36 could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using a word I promise to do better. All right. Now, the slur, the N-word, is a hateful word. Do you destroy people for using it forever? That's what I want you to tell me, yes or no. So Wallen, I was shocked when Billboard gave them the awards, because Billboard is in with the Hollywood crew. All right? They say, you can't come, but then he wins the awards. So I think Wallen will be able, because he generates so much money, and that's what
Starting point is 00:28:17 it's all about for these pinheads. He'll be able to resume his career, but it's an interesting cancel culture thing. If he were not that successful, he's gone forever, no doubt. Alec Baldwin, I haven't talked about old Alec in a while. Now, he lives pretty near me. And I know I'm okay, you know, and I like them in person, just like Don Lemon. I mean, I don't have any beef with these people. I can have a few laughs with Alec Baldwin.
Starting point is 00:28:46 So his wife got attacked for saying that she was Spanish when she was raised in Boston. You can fly from Boston to Spain, but there's an ocean between. So for some reason, his wife wanted to be, identify as Spanish. I don't know. I don't care. It doesn't matter to me. If she wants to be Spanish, Ola. Okay? Fine. But Bowen was shaken by that because she got attacked on Twitter and all of this stuff. So he tweets this. Put it up on a screen. Quote, cancel culture is like a forest fire in constant need of fuel. Functioning objectively, no prejudice, no code. Just destroy. The deserving and the undeserving alike, unquote.
Starting point is 00:29:32 So, Alec Baldwin is speaking out against the cancel culture. I thought you'd like to know that. Franklin Graham, who I respect, and I respected his father, Billy Graham. They are Protestants, okay? But they reach a lot of people. Franklin Graham basically says the cancel culture is a sin. It's the road to communism. All right, here's the quote.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Put it on up. Publishing Giant Simon & Schuster. Employees were demanding that they cancel a book with former Vice President Mike Pence, but that's not all. They demanded the company not published any books by anyone who was part of the Trump administration, simply put the radical left in their canceled culture, want to silence the voices of conservatives who stand against their agendas. They're trying to take our country down a road toward communism, and America had better wake up. Thankfully, Simon & Schuze's CEO didn't cave, as announced, they will be publishing Mike Pence's
Starting point is 00:30:32 memoirs, unquote. So, cancel culture is now in a danger zone, according to Franklin Graham. If every cleric in this country, imams, rabbis, priests, ministers, everyone would speak out against canceled culture and would disappear. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k. tax and penalty-free.
Starting point is 00:31:34 With billions in precious medals delivered thousands of five-star reviews, and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-326-5-7576 or text bill to 9-9-9-8-8-8-8-9. 889.99. Cancel culture. Fighting back at the University of Vermont. This is a great story.
Starting point is 00:32:13 There is a professor there named Aaron Kinsvater. All right. And he is objecting to the University of Vermont attacking white people. Roll the tape. The problem is, is that there's a new there's a new kind of discrimination on campus that's going on that I really feel that we need to talk about and I think that everybody is afraid to talk about it and this
Starting point is 00:32:47 discrimination is against whiteness that the same logic that informs what's currently being called whiteness right now can easily find its way to desperate persons who need a group to hate and who will adopt the suppositions that inform whiteness towards their own ends. For that, there's a demand for that professor to be fired. You can't stick up for white people. So the Vermont University of Vermont Provost, Patricia Praylock, sent an email out saying, quote, We will continue to lean into, very good, lean into,
Starting point is 00:33:34 our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. And in so doing, create further opportunities to strengthen our community. We know there is anger, pain, and sadness when the lived experience of individuals committed to inclusion or denied or diminished. Oh, very woke. Isn't that so woke?
Starting point is 00:33:55 So anyway, they can't fire the professor, Kinsvater, because he got tenure. You know, he's protected, which is the only reason he could say that. But the petition is out for him to be fired. Okay? And a petition has gotten 3,435 signatures. All right? Let's fire the professor for making a very intelligent observation that if you hate white people, that's not going to be good.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Okay? So, no, we want them fired. This is change.org does this, one of the most vile, vicious groups in America. But here's the good news at the University of Vermont. Sticking up for the professor are 4,502 petitioners. The petition is sticking up for him, outnumbering the fired people. University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont, Bernie Sanders territory. Cancel culture. So is a volleyball player, Kylie McLaughlin, at the University of Oklahoma. It used to be.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Well, she left the school because they branded her a racist, 22 years old, and she's transferred out. Now she's suing the University of Oklahoma. Apparently, Ms. McLaughlin objected to the cancel of the eyes of text. The song, remember that? Where some loons at the University of Texas wanted to cancel that song. The Eyes of Texas are opining because it was racist. It isn't racist. It's not even close to being racist, right?
Starting point is 00:35:38 So Kylie, as is her right, as an American, said, you know, this is pretty nuts. Well, they persecuted her. Apparently, they made her take inclusion and diversity courses. They red shirted her, which means she couldn't place. which means she couldn't play on a volleyball team. So she's suing them. We're going to file that lawsuit. And the University of Oklahoma, you know, you better think about what you're doing out there.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Because this is wrong. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. This day in history, I'm going to do it now because this is so ironic. So June 7, 1979, 42 years ago, guess what the first state was to pass a holiday memorializing the end of slavery. Texas. I didn't know this.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Texas was the first state to declare June 10th a holiday. And June 10th honors the end of slavery in the USA. As you may know, Texas was a slave state, part of the Confederacy. But before anybody else, the state of Texas said, you know what? We were wrong. And now we're going to memorialize the end. end of slavery, by a state holiday. Do you know that? I didn't know that. Cancel culture. Penn State U. Okay. Ready? This is the Faculty Senate at Penn State.
Starting point is 00:37:40 They passed the inclusive language reform legislation. A, they are replacing the pronouns, he, him, his, and she, her, hers with they, them, theirs, or non-use, non-gendered terms. They're replacing freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior with first, second, third, fourth, year, student. You can't say freshman or sophomore anymore. It's offensive. It's not a close-off. All right. Next one.
Starting point is 00:38:15 They're replacing underclassmen and upperclassmen with. lower division and upper division. How woke, oh, Penn State, Nittany Lions, there you go. So good. Cornell, the librarian, Rihanna S. Mel, says the library is racist. The entire library reinforces white supremacy. The Dewey Decimal System is racist. What's the Dewey Decimal System? It divides the library into 10 subject groups, psychology, religion, social scientists, language, math, medicine, arts, literature, geography, and history. That's the Dewey Decival System. It's racist.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Why? Because I think the guy who invented it did something bad. Somewhere. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast. you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

So I don't want to be selfish. I do a lot of reading, as you may know. If the book's boring, I put it down. Got to hold my interest. So there are five books out now that I think you'll like. First one is called Val Cor, V-A-L-C-O-U-R, by Jack Kelly.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Now, we wrote about this battle, the first battle that the American Army won in the Revolutionary War in killing England. Benedict Arnold, the Green Mountain boys, Ethan Allen, we wrote about it. But Mr. Kelly goes really in detail about it, up on Lake Champlain, so it's fun reading. Second one is Blood and Treasure Daniel Boone in the Fight for America's First Frontier, Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. I didn't know a lot about Daniel Boone. I knew something about him, but these guys really make them come alive, so I enjoyed that. Third book is the Anglo-Saxons, A History of the Beginnings of England, 400 to 1066.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Now, why would I be recommending that? Because in order to understand how the United States came into being, you have to know how England came into being with this Anglo-Saxon thing. So it's a little pinheady, Mark Mars, but I think if you're a serious historian, you'll like it. Now, I am rereading some of the old Spencer books. by Robert Parker, one of my favorite fiction writers. They're really good. I mean, this is a beach read and plain read, okay?
