3:05pm- President Joe Biden is set to deliver his State of the Union address tonight and is fully expected to tout his economic policies, specifically the recent Department of Labor report indicating the creation of 500,000 jobs. However, as Dr. E.J. Antoni notes in his most recent Fox Business article, “once you account for employment rates, the labor market still has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. The labor force participation rate and employment-to-population ratio have both remained stubbornly low, resulting in about 2.6 million fewer people working today, compared to pre-pandemic rates.” You can read Dr. Antoni’s article at: https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/monthly-jobs-report-still-reliable-last-domino-fall

4:05pm- Disney has removed an episode of The Simpsons—“One Angry Lisa” which aired in October 2022—from its streaming service, Disney+, due to a joke about forced labor in China. Meanwhile, Disney recently released an episode of The Proud Family” where characters explain that America was built on slavery.

5:00pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Taboo: 10 Facts You Can’t Talk About”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Disney’s cartoon series, “The Proud Family”, explaining to children that America was built on slavery and that the country was founded on white supremacy. Citing economic date, Dr. Reilly refutes the narrative that the south "built" America and explains that the false narrative mirrors theories espoused by southern confederates prior to the Civil War. So, why is Disney embracing this historically inaccurate theory in 2023—and pushing it on children?
