In this episode, I will examine the recent abrupt exit of Jeff Zucker from CNN and the two-week suspension of “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg for her viewpoint on the Holocaust. These two are very different situations, but both call us to reflect on looking at high profile misconduct, how their employers handle it, and…
The Project Veritas Experience: Journalism Meets Art
James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas is a group that has exposed corruption in both the public and private sectors and challenged the mainstream media establishment. He recently launched his book “American Muckraker” and to accompany it, held “The Project Veritas Experience,” which is a performance art that is a great example of how grassroots movements can…
Spotify And The War On Free Speech
In this episode, I follow up on the war Neil Young waged with Spotify, which has placed music, artistry, business, economics, the 1st Amendment, and a national conversation all in the spotlight, where righteous virtue signaling is being heralded over good business and access to music. If we can’t have conversations, we will become a…

NYPD honored slain officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora, who were killed by a shooter while on a domestic dispute call in Harlem.

Canadian-turned-American musician Neil Young has demanded that his music be taken off of streaming service Spotify due to his dislike for Joe Rogan’s podcast and what he considers to be the service spreading vaccine “misinformation.” I dive into Young’s history, music, and potential reasons—and pitfalls—for trying to get the music service to acquiesce to his…

O Canada, Our Home and Native Gulag!
O Canada! What in the world is happening to your country? I examine the draconian lockdowns in Canada and failed leadership, as well as recent revelations that the government spied on its citizens to track movements during the pandemic. It makes me ask the question: are Canadians OK with this? Hosted by the two-time Emmy-nominated…
NBA Star Kyrie Irving: Rooted in Beliefs, Exploited for Talent
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is a great player, but he’s also unvaccinated. He made this personal choice long ago, and he cannot play in home games due to New York’s indoor vaccine mandate. But with many Nets players injured, the team has turned to him and benefited from his talent, all while the media…
Is Being Conservative the New Counterculture?
The 1960s brought America a sense of counterculture—the hippies, the anti-Vietnam War movement, bell bottoms, Hendrix, and Joplin. They challenged institutions and values but also had a dystopian consequence to their utopian mission. But today’s counterculture looks different. It looks more like the rebels of 1776, who wanted basic American freedom—something that has been replaced…
