May 19, 2022What to Do If You're a Conservative at a Woke Company
Companies like Disney and Nike have become more woke and frequently make the news for their radical political positions. Employees of these companies frequently push the larger business to move even further left, and take even more woke positions.
But what happens if someone is an employee of a woke company and isn't woke themselves?
Terry Pell, president of the Center for Individual Rights, says the consequences can be dire.
"HR departments have become increasingly woke, and corporate leaders are afraid of Twitter mobs attacking and destroying the reputation of the company," explains Pell.
"The employers now are highly sensitive to outside criticism and outside activists know this," he adds. "So they prey on these companies and they basically threaten to expose them for being racist if they don't go along with whatever the activists want."
Pell joins the show to discuss how the woke took over business, and how we can counter them.

May 18, 2022New Mexico's Rep. Yvette Herrell Shares GOP Solution to Border Crisis
The crisis on our southern border has never been worse. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have crossed into America, and violent cartel members import drugs and violence into our cities.
The Biden administration thus far has failed to seriously address the crisis.
"This really is a frightening scenario for us to be watching play out, and the administration could actually stop it, but they just haven't had the political will," says Rep. Yvette Herrell, a Republican who represents New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District, which borders on Mexico and is the fifth-largest House district in area in the nation.
Herrell joins the show to discuss what the GOP plans to do to address the illegal immigration crisis, and how a Republican-controlled House and Senate would push back against the Biden administration's worst instincts.

May 17, 2022What 2 Pro-Life Women Saw in Wake of Pro-Abortion Extremists’ Attacks
Following the leaked draft decision from the Supreme Court suggesting Roe v. Wade could soon be overturned, pro-abortion activists have become increasingly aggressive as they protest.
In addition to demonstrating in front of the high court justices’ homes, some protesters have taken things a step further and begun to physically attack pro-life organizations at their places of operation.
Lois Anderson, executive director at Oregon Right to Life, and Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America, both experienced attacks on their organizations.
“We’ve always felt very safe there. It’s a community that’s just right next to our state Capitol, but we’ve been in that building for more than two decades and never even had so much as a protest,” said Anderson. “We’ve been quietly doing our work in that building, and it really was jarring.”
They share their stories about how pro-abortion extremists attacked their facilities.

May 13, 2022Doctor Reveals How Woke Activists Have Infiltrated Medicine
Woke activists have infiltrated nearly every institution of American life. From academia to Hollywood, the radical left has successfully marched its way to power.
Most dangerously, the left has infiltrated an institution where people's very lives are at stake: health care.
Woke health care "just goes against medical ethics," Dr. Stanley Goldfarb says. "The tradition in medicine is to give treatments to patients who need them. And if you had to make a decision based on scarce resources, you gave it to the patient who would benefit the most from it."
Goldfarb, a kidney specialist, is chairman of the board at Do No Harm, a national association of medical professionals that pushes back against woke activists in the health care system. He also is author of the new book "Take Two Aspirin and Call Me by My Pronouns: Why Turning Doctors Into Social Justice Warriors Is Destroying American Medicine."
Goldfarb joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the consequences of woke ideology in medicine and how we can bring health care back from the cliff.

May 12, 2022Reporter Recounts What He Saw Covering 2020 Riots
The corporate media lied that the riots across America during the summer of 2020 essentially were "fiery, but mostly peaceful." Americans, however, watched in horror as places such as Portland, Seattle, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, burned while radical leftists swarmed the streets.
Through it all, though, one journalist braved the mobs.
Townhall's Julio Rosas spent much of 2020 moving around the country, capturing footage of rioters as they looted stores, fought police, and, of course, burned buildings.
Rosas is the author of the new book "Fiery (But Mostly Peaceful): The 2020 Riots and the Gaslighting of America."
Rosas joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his book and reveal the truth that the media won't tell you about the riots. We also cover these stories:
The Labor Department reports that inflation dipped to 8.3% from 8.5% in March, as measured by the the consumer price index, but that Americans likely will continue to see high inflation.

New data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that over 107,000 Americans died last year of opioid overdoses, a record high.

May 11, 2022 Louisiana AG: Big Tech Has Become 'Arm of the Government’
The Biden administration’s “Disinformation Governance Board” provided momentum for two states to sue the federal government that alleges pressure on and collusion with Big Tech companies to censor political content that challenges the government line.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt last week filed a federal lawsuit that alleges top-ranking government officials worked with social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to censors free speech and truthful information regarding COVID-19, election integrity and other matters.
The lawsuit by Louisiana and Missouri names President Joe Biden, White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, Disinformation Governance Board Director Nina Jankowicz, and other administration officials.
Landry, Louisiana's attorney general, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about the lawsuit and whether the Biden administration is outsourcing censorship to Big Tech.

May 09, 2022 Sean Spicer Blasts Jen Psaki's Farewell Publicity Tour: 'Unethical and Wrong'
Jen Psaki's last day as White House press secretary will be this Friday, May 13. She's expected to move next to a high-profile role at MSNBC, according to Axios, which reported April 1 "the deal is nearly final" even though no contract has been signed.
"I'm glad that she's found a soft landing," says Sean Spicer, who served as President Donald Trump's first press secretary. "But you can't then continue to serve. You can't sit at that podium knowing that your future colleagues are sitting there. ... I mean, this is so unethical and wrong."
For the ethically challenged Biden administration, perhaps it's no big deal. But Spicer calls the decision "unprecedented." Having waited more than two years before becoming host of "Spicer & Co." on Newsmax, Spicer knows what it's like to go from the White House briefing room to the newsroom.
He joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about his approach to covering the news, Newsmax's growth, and more. Listen to the full interview or read an abridged version at DailySignal.com.

Today on "The Daily Signal Podcast," we are featuring the latest episode of "SCOTUS 101" a sister podcast on the Heritage Podcast Network. Subscribe to SCOTUS 101: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scotus-101/id1282064006

This week saw the biggest leak in Supreme Court history: a leaked opinion. And not just any opinion, but an early draft of a purported majority decision in the Dobbs case, which would, if issued, overrule Roe v. Wade and return abortion policy to the people of each state. Zack and GianCarlo chat about the leak, what it means for the Court, and what ought to happen to the leaker. They also discuss all the other news that was drowned out by the leak including the memorial service for Justice John Paul Stevens and a major First Amendment opinion issued this week. GianCarlo then interviews Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, and they talk about her career and her legal strategy in Dobbs. Finally, Zack quizzes GianCarlo about Justice Stevens' life and career.

Here's a link to Zack and John Malcolm's article about whether the leaker can be criminally prosecuted.
