The Future is Human

Welcome to The Kayleigh O’Keefe Show!Last week, Yelp announced a new initiative to label small businesses as racist if those businesses are accused of racist behavior. As if small businesses haven’t had to deal with enough this year - government-mandated lockdowns, riots and looting of their property - now they must worry about being accused of racism by any unhappy customer. What could possibly go wrong?In this episode, Kayleigh shares why she believes Yelp’s policy is racist - and warns that what we focus on as a society will grow.

Welcome to The Kayleigh O'Keefe Show! In this episode, Kayleigh shares her reflections on what we can learn from the life and death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She explores one of RBG’s most famous decisions, RBG’s friendship with the late Justice Antontin Scalia, the duty of President Trump to nominate a new justice, and the unfair - and often completely fabricated - character assassinations that are waged against constitutional conservative nominees, like the most recent appointee, Brett Kavanaugh.

Welcome to The Kayleigh O'Keefe Show!  Over the summer we watched our American cities burn. Rioters destroy. Looters ransack. Business owners shut down. And so many politicians and leaders remained silent. Where does the human impulse to destroy come from? How can we inspire creation over destruction? Playing at the beach with my niece taught me that destruction may be human nature - but it can be overcome with better desires in our hearts.
