The Narrative Corporate Giants Are Dropping DEI with Douglas Napier
In this episode of The Narrative, Mike and David expose the disturbing reality of a recent Ohio House hearing where radical activists prioritized "preferred pronouns" over protecting little girls from a grown man in a Xenia locker room. David also delivers a gut-wrenching report from the front lines of Detransitioner Awareness Day in DC, detailing how the LGBTQ activists exploit autistic children through rapid, life-altering medicalization.
After the news, Mike and David are joined by Douglas Napier, the powerhouse CEO of the 1792 Exchange, for an encouraging look at the crumbling "woke" corporate empire. Napier exposes the "insatiable monster" of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, revealing how a massive 65 percent of Fortune 500 companies have recently fled the survey. Listen to discover how the "silent majority" is finally using its economic muscle to force the boardroom back to common sense.
