You know, every time i hear my bio, i think about this part where i say, you know, my works been cited by all of these outlets and some of them are outlets we dont like. Right . Theyre very liberal outlets. And wonder, should i take that out . Does that give the wrong impression . But then i think you know what, if my work is good enough that even the Washington Post has decided, then i dont know. I think that speaks pretty well to what im doing. So you kind of have to force them to to accept the truth sometimes this book is such a passion project for me. Its the first book i ever wrote. I was during a very difficult personal time in my life and then i went back and relived all of these crazy campus experiences and and it was a really rewarding experi ance, i would say. And i think it speaks really to the importance of whats happening on our College Campuses because for a long time on the left and even some people on the right really believed that what was on campus would stay there, that what the crazy kids were doing, just a phase or a symptom of being on a on a liberal college campus. And it really wouldnt have any broader effects society. And we see that that is obviously not the case perfect case study of this is whats been happening with bud light. Its been about six months since consumers launched their boycott against bud light and the beer company of course, under fire after it decided they were going to partner with a trans gender tiktoker by the name of Dylan Mulvaney, who is a man pretending to be a woman and had all of these advertisements go up on Dylan Instagram page, where he was basically dressed as the male version of Audrey Hepburn and, a black t dress and white opera gloves, drinking a bud light can, and even ahead of the bud light partnership. Dylan mulvaney was taking a lot flack because of his days girlhood tiktok series. This was a series of videos on a daily basis. Dylan mulvaney would post, you know, day one of girlhood and explain what he was going through on that day. It was supposed to be a depiction of his journey accepting his true gender identity instead what happened is he was engaging in tired, cartoonish stereotypes of young women. In fact on day one. Dylan mulvaney insists that he cried several times, no apparent reason, of course, playing into the trope that women hysterical and incapable of controlling their emotions and crazy in. Other videos. Dylan mulvaney, who again is a grown man, describe hes planning the perfect girls night slumber party, complete with pjs and popcorn. And candy purports be addicted to shopping and dresses has an intense fear of bugs, frolics through meadows. Im not kidding. There is actually a video of Dylan Mulvaney frolicking through a meadow, and in the caption he uses term frolicking, goes hiking in high heels and is obsessed with britney spears. And despite all of this mockery of womanhood, by insisting that behavior not our biology, is what makes us women, mulvaney been celebrated by the Corporate Media and by corporate less than year into pretending to be a girl dylan. Mulvaney was invited to join a podcast with ulta beauty. Another man where they discussed girl issues. Riddle me that. Mulvaney, who cannot produce eggs, doesnt a uterus or any of the female reproductive parts necessary to be a mother insisted on this podcast that he cant wait to be a mother. He was also invited to speak on a panel last year at the forbes power womens summit women summit. He done ad partnerships with the popular hair care brand. Kate 18 maybelline, kitchenaid. Luckily, my stand mixer was passed down from my grandma, so i dont have to get rid of mine. I didnt buy it after the dylan multi partnership Charlotte Tilbury milk and crest, so get your white strips somewhere else, ladies ladies this month mulvey is actually gracing the cover of new York Magazine style in print. The cut. But maybe graces is not quite the right word, but light drinkers would probably be forgiven for thinking this nonsense would never in fact, their beloved beer brand. They might have thought that it would be untainted by the walking minstrel that is Dylan Mulvaney. After all, throughout its bud light made its bones advertising to blue workers, sports fans, patriotic americans and dads. Then came, of course, the fateful, as mentioned on mulvaneys that showed him sipping from a personalized can while dressed up like Audrey Hepburn, a version. But that was the goal to look like Audrey Hepburn. How did this happen . How did this left transgender crazy come to a beloved american brand . Well, the culprit soon became clear budweisers Vice President of marketing. Alyssa shied piner. She i dont know. Im not sure how you say it, to be honest. Well go with her on her side, said the following on a podcast prior to the mulvaney partnership. Im a businesswoman. I had a really clear job to do when i took over bud light and was this brand is in decline. Its been in decline for a really long. And if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for bud light. She also said, we this hangover. I mean bud light had been kind of a fraidy out of touch humor and it was really important that we had another approach. Never mind that hindsight herself was participe in some pretty fruity behavior when she was at, according to some photos, 2006. But do as i and not as i do right . If you work a company yourself, youve probably encountered a lot of people like her. Theyre usually in your h. R. Departments. Youre middle management or your diversity office. They like to create problems where they dont exist. Levy false accusation tions, and then rush in as the savior whos going to fix everything when they get together in a group, watch out. They are at putting pressure on those who do not comply with their demands. People like hydroxide dont just exist in corporate america, though. Theyre in hollywood, academia, politics and as i write in my book, the snowflakes revolt, theyre of course, in the media. You probably know them commonly as the woke left. They are the most important reminder that what happens on campus, what young adults are taught, how they behave, and perhaps even more importantly, what theyre allowed to get away with really, really matters. Most people in this room would probably agree that the media has been pretty liberal for quite some time, but some things seem have changed in the past ten years or so. 10 to 20 years that really warped the news into just pure left wing propaganda. And i think to understand how the media got this way, its massive shift to the left and how it got filled with people like bud light marketing vp. We have to go all the way back to the mid 1800s. Stay with me in early days of the american republic. The Media Industry was not objective or nonbiased, was never the goal. In fact, in the in the early days of the american republic, the media existed be an extension of Political Parties was necessarily bias that was actually its function. Of the media was also filled with working class individuals. It was very much a trade job as opposed to a profession in the way that we view it today. It wasnt the early 1900s that this idea that journalists should be objective and un came into play and this was something that born from the intellectual thinkers of the time. And i think you know their was was sound it was a good idea. But the way it was put into practice actually ended up having the opposite effect of what they intended. These intellectuals that reporters needed to adhere to a similar version of the Scientific Method in order to report the news accurately, but to that reporters were capable of doing. They decided that they needed to go college to get a degree or they needed to go to a dedicated journalism school. As these major news outlets increasingly hired out of these top tier elite universities. Their newsrooms became echo chambers filled with the liberal elite who were stunningly out of touch with the average american, according to a 2014 Indiana University survey, 92 of journalists had a college degree, compared to about 30 of the overall country. Thats actually one of the highest rates any profession in terms of people in it have a college degree. Its pretty astounding. The journal of expertise found that nearly of New York Times writers and editors attended elite universities. So, you know, top 25, that basically puts them on par with Supreme Court justices and united senators. And again, are journalists. Its not something that i would consider intellectually on the same level, despite being one as a Supreme Court justice, certainly not requiring the same level of education. Right. Probably more useful to have on the job. Journalists are also far more likely to come from. White collar, wealthy, wellconnected families partially the starting salary so low and theyre more likely to live cities and theyre less religious than the average american. So its no wonder that the media is so liberal. Theyre filled. Theyre in a newsroom thats filled with people who who think and come from the same backgrounds as them. The problem really got worse in 2015 with the rise of donald trump, when all pretenses of objectivity were dropped in favor of stopping the bad orange man journalists decided that standards standards at this point of journalism were no longer useful. Instead, their job was now to hold power to account and be a voice for the voiceless. In practice, that meant holding conservative and republicans accountable and being the voice for the democratic establishment, as well as their Interest Groups that vote for them religiously and in order accomplish this goal, of course. What did they do . They hired yet again more woke activists from the left wing elite universities. On its it doesnt seem like a huge deal that Industries Like the media are hiring people who went to harvard or yale, got a gender studies degree or an english major and interned for greenpeace. But if are paying attention at all to whats been going on on College Campuses in the past decade, you know how destructive these people really can be. It was obvious to a lot of us when they were tossing molotov cocktails because ben shapiro dared to step on campus at uc berkeley, conservatives the alarm bells on what was happening on campus. But the media too busy mocking their concerns as unfounded hysteria and even some people on the right to be fair didnt fully get it again they convinced that the snowflakes know the special snowflakes as we refer to them because they believe that can do no wrong and parents told them you can be whatever you want to be. They thought these people would melt once they were exposed to the real the real world was slap them in face. Everything would go back to normal. They would moderate it all. Be fine. That obviously did not happen. Well, as michelle, i was in georgetown. At georgetown. In 2015, and i saw firsthand the threat that these really posed to society and why theyre not going away any time. Ill tell you a few stories from my time on campus to illustrate the point Student Government at is a huge, huge deal. This college is filled with people who all think theyre going to be president one day. Theyre very narcissistic, a little deranged, if you ask me. But alas, that is thats of the student population there. They pour everything into Student Government campaign campaigns. I mean, this was a four month affair on campus. Everybody was obsessed with following all of the polling and the speeches. And people would go to the debates it was crazy. And to be fair, bill clinton obviously a former president , got his start, a member of the Student Government at georgetown. Conde, another prominent alumni who is in Student Government. Oklahoma, Frank Keating and other notable alumni were all involved in that. But during the 2015 student body president election, there was more drama than think anyone anticipated. There was one ticket filled with a guy named christopher wood, tibia and meredith chaney. Chris was a black. Meredith is a white woman and kind of thought that they were going to coast into the presidency and the vice presidency. They were supposed to be next in line. But instead, what happened . A satirical ticket made up by two campus comedians decided throw their hats into the ring and the entire georgetown student process. They said this whole thing is ridiculous. All of the things that youre claiming to get done are impossible. So lets just have fun with it. Well, lo and behold, not only did they end up wiping the floor with the christopher and meredith ticket on the debate stage. But they actually won the election. It was wild. I know it doesnt sound as cool now, but we were all very excited. After the christopher and meredith campaign went down in flames, one of the Student Newspapers, the georgetown, published a cartoon that was basically mocking its downfall was by a young man by the name of dylan cutler. It was actually liberal himself. And the cartoon was titled beating the dead horse, and it showed the winning satiric Kill Campaign clubbing a meredith and christopher who were inside of a horse. Pretty funny, right . You know, innocuous play on an old idiom or so i. But according to the georgetown activist class, this was and sexist. They claimed it was racist it depicted violence against chris will dubya who is a black man and. The cartoon was also sexist because. Meredith chaney was in the back of the horse the rear of the horse because was the number two on the ticket. But they said it was because she was a woman. This is a quote from black Leadership Forum at, georgetown. The white patriarchy message. This image sense is insensitive of and incredibly racist given the history of black men and women being lynched and beaten at the hands of white in this nations past and present. It is also concerning a woman is being depicted as the the horse reminiscent of. I know its really funny to reminisce of the misogynistic and socially inferior treatment women have suffered for. The georgetown voice caved. They published an apology on their Facebook Page and they removed the cartoon. But it didnt stop. There student activists decided that they were going to hold town hall so that of the georgetown students could come and their grievances about how affected were by this cartoon. The cartoonist himself came to the town hall and after everyone else had spoken, he went up to the podium and he ready to burst into tears. I mean, this guy had been through it and. He said, i made a mistake. My privilege is that i the ability to look past, the possible damage that that image could cause. And im i stand with you. I want to help silence the message of hate. Now itd be easy to make fun of this guy groveling to his peers. You know . But i actually feel bad for him. This is a guy who is ostensibly on their side. Hes published every previous cartoon on the georgetown voice was promoting liberal causes, and they turned on him like that to make a point. And it wasnt really about the cartoon. It wasnt really about dylan cutler because what these activists did next was they use this entire to lobby the for a d
