Unmasking Academic Lies with Wilfred Reilly

Big Tech is hiding behind the First Amendment to profit while their algorithms drive our children toward depression and suicide. In this episode of The Narrative, Aaron, David, and Mike expose how these giants are fighting to keep parents out of the room while they harvest the attention of minors. Countries like the UK and Australia are already moving to ban these platforms for children under 16. These giants fought the "Social Media Parental Notification Act" in court and won a temporary reprieve from a federal judge. CCV is back at the Statehouse to hold these platforms accountable through HB302. 

After the news, Associate Professor Wilfred Riley joins the guys to discuss how mid-level bureaucrats are rebranding the poison of DEI as "belonging" or "togetherness" to stay entrenched. Learn how the Deep State functions at the GS-level and why the Left's mechanical drift only stops when we actively dig the ideologues out of the mole holes.

They also tackle the rising threat of the "Woke Right" and why identity politics is a trap that abandons objective truth. From the absurdity of "pregnant men" to the weaponization of language, the hosts unpack why we cannot give an inch to word games that defy biological reality.
