Behind the scenes: John Solomon update

Lance: Welcome, welcome to the Lance Wallnau Show. Now listen there’s in the realm of journalism there’s nobody like John Solomon. He’s the real deal. I mean this is the guy that actually does the reporting. When I first heard about his underground reporting on Russia Gate exposing the threat of deception and the FBI. Two guys actually approached him in trench coats in his hometown there in in DC. And they came up by his card. He didn’t know what was going to happen. And they said just want to let you know you’re on the right track. Keep going. And then they left him. When I first heard that I thought that’s spooky. But you see they were say,there are good guys out there. We need them. John Solomon’s going to be answering some very important questions I’ve got for you. 

And one of the things which I’m looking at with great concern is what’s happened with the McCarthy debt deal which we now know it was the 2 trillion, 4 trillion, 5 trillion. I keep hearing the number going up because evidently there’s no ceiling on it. And it’s going to be two years of free fall. At a time when I think the nation is if you don’t mind me saying so heading for divine disciplines. But God always forewarns his people and I’m telling you. If you’ve got tied up in the paper currency of the dollar, you want to start to reevaluate that your IRA and your 401K. I would be thinking seriously about moving it out of paper because of the inflationary cycle is going to be hitting again. And moving into gold, because the gold will store your value. The gold will actually increase in value whatever happens with the dollar. You’ve got something which the banks themselves are stockpiling right now. And so, I want to encourage you go to “Lancewallnau.com/safe.

Why safe? Because I ask them to provide you with a safe. If you meet a certain threshold of giving into your own retirement or if you put a certain amount of money in in gold and silver,they’re going to send you the safe to protect it with and this is going to be only good till July 7th.So, move fast “Lancewallnau.com/safe the offer’s good to July 7th jump in and grab it you’ll have peace of mind. That’s what I believe God wants you to have. Now, John Solomon, ladies and gentlemen, let’s go right in.

Welcome, welcome to the Lance Wallnau Show and today, I have the privilege of having one of the great minds and journalists that I, myself, listen to. When I talk to you, you got to know that I’m getting my facts from John Solomon and if I’m wrong, it’s John’s fault because he didn’t do his research right.

John Solomon: That’s right.

Lance: So, John, thanks for being on the show.

John Solomon: What a great honor to be with you, Lance. Thank you for having me.

Lance: I first heard about you and the was you and I caught you at this randomly on a radio.

John Solomon: Yeah.

Lance: And you were talking about two trench coat guys that came up to your car when you were in DC and you’re looking nervously at this and they come up and deliver the message you’re on the right track and then Lee what was that for everyone else to catch up? This is my introduction to John Summit. What was that?

John Solomon: It was 5, 6 years ago in March. I just made an appearance on Hannity. I’ve been in the news media business for 35 years. Worked at AP the Washington Post, mainstream media, went to become the editor times and started my own site and we were reporting on Fisa abuses.Not related to Russia or anything involving Trump, just old fashioned the FBI abusing the foreign intelligence surveillance act. I did a big story, went on Hannity that night Sarah Carter and I. came home I was pulling into my driveways about 11 o’clock at night. There was a blue car with government license plates on it. The parking lights are on. I pulled in the driveway guys got out of the car. They looked to be in the military. I think they probably were in the Air Force maybe the NSA and they said, are you John Solomon? Yes sir. And is there anything wrong. I said, no, no we want to let you know that you’re at the tip of a very large iceberg that what you were reporting on today actually goes far deeper/far worse than you know. And yeah, we’ve been carrying out a political dirty trick using the awesome powers of the United States government.Like what are you talking about?

And he said, you’ll have to figure it out most of it’s classified. Keep scratching, keep digging but it isn’t an accident that there’s been abuses of the Fisa and just think about what’s going on in the current marketplace and I think of Trump Russia collusion because that’s what people are writing about. I said, I remember said to him. I said, why are you doing this? Why’d you pick me? Why are you doing this? And he said, you need us, pointing themselves. We need these tools that we’re using to protect people from real terrorism vets, real counterintelligence vets. If we’ve abused them as I believe we won’t have these tools in the future and we won’t be able to keep you safe that’s what’s at stake here so go do some reporting. So, my head was spinning went down, the basement and typed up everything I could remember because there was a notes. Sarah Carter and I started on a on a 6-year journey to unravel what ultimately became Russian collusion. Yeah. Two patriots.

Lance: Tell you right now, if God wanted to send you a message.

John Solomon: Yeah.

Lance: He sent them to send you a message.

John Solomon: No doubt.

Lance: So, what’s your response when you hear a week ago, two dozen FBI agents coming forward and in the final commentary, one of these brave men saying, if you’re thinking of coming forth, pray long and hard about it because it they’ll destroy you. This must frustrate you that you’ve been on this case from the beginning and there still is this.

John Solomon: All those brave patriots that are coming forward. Those guys didn’t obviously go through the official whistleblower process but many have what happens to them. They have the security clearance pulled. Their paychecks then pulled because the security clearance is pulled. They sit for a year unable to work. Their families drain their bank accounts and then the FBI separates from them. That’s what’s happened to multiple whistleblowers who tried to alert us to things. Now, how serious is it? Is it just a couple people fighting over Donald Trump and Joe Biden? No, it’s much bigger than that. Think about what we learned from the Fisa Court on Friday night.

There are in the last year or last year of record which is actually 2021. There were 278,000 times that the FBI abused the Patriot Act in Fisa to spy on Americans without justification. A quarter million people in a single year. This is way bigger than Trump Biden way bigger than a few disgruntled FBI agents. The awesome powers of the United States are now being turned against its people in ways that the Fourth Amendment weren’t never intended. The First Amendment didn’t attend. The government and the great constitutional public that we built that’s protected all of us is really in grave danger of imploding on itself. That’s why so many people are coming forward. They’re all going to lose their jobs. They’re not going to be any system to protect them. We have some new IRS whistleblowers coming out now saying that the thumbs been on the scale. The Hunter Biden investigation.

Lance: And then a singular kind of courage.

John Solomon: Yeah.

Lance: It’s what I call career martyrdom. They know.

John Solomon: Yep.

Lance: Like the FBI that I’m stepping in, it’s going to register tremendous disapproval because somebody in the treasury department has been suppressing information.

John Solomon: That’s right.

Lance: For political reasons and those names will come up.

John Solomon: Yep. Yeah, their careers are done and they know it. I’ve talked a lot of these Whistleblowers. They knew stepping forward was the end of their law enforcement career, the FBI career but they felt that a larger principle that listen what good is a law enforcement career if the law and orders that we created this country on are no longer being abided by. They’re willing to risk everything to tell the American people what’s been going on for the last 6, 70 years.

Lance: I’m virtually speechless when I think about this. What do you think Senator Grassley and Grassley and Mike Davis? So, as I’m getting educated and then I educate my audience.

John Solomon: Yeah.

Lance: Grassley has oversight of the whistleblower program, doesn’t he?

John Solomon: Well, he’s one of the committees that does. He’s been a champion ofWhistleblowers all the way back to the 80s.

Lance: Lance: Right.

John Solomon: And many of the Whistleblower laws in place today that protect Whistleblowers. He either authored or helped shepherd through the senate or the house and so he’s the guy that most Whistleblowers go to when they know they have something serious and they’re about to be destroyed.

Lance: And so, when he came up for reelection, I was really concerned that we got our people educated that hey all senators aren’t created equal. Some of them are really incredibly important. He’s one of them.

John Solomon: He is.

Lance: And so, he has a kind of but he’s in part of the aristocracy and they have a protocol and I always respect the Senate. They’re not like the scrappers in Congress.

John Solomon: No, they’re very different. Yeah.

Lance: But they do telegraph. When you’ve offended their majesty. And I think that Grassley has the attitude right now that he’s being a little bit disrespected for that and that’s not good. Because he’ll come down.

Lance: He has the protected more Whistleblowers. I mean you go back to the FBI lab a scandal the 1990 Chuck Grassley protected the people there. Fred Whitehurst the whistleblower there. The 9/11, the FBI and the CIA pretty much put most of 9/11 together but they didn’t roll it up. A whistleblower came forward to divulge it. He protected them. He has been there and right now he realizes that these IRS agents who’ve come forward in the last couple days. The FBI agents a few months ago.

Lance: What’s coming up John? Tell me about the IRS agents coming up this week.

John Solomon: He’s likely to testify behind there’s a supervisory IRS criminal investigator. One of the most decorated agents in the IRS. He’s trusted with the most sensitive cases like the Swiss Bank case which we know is one of the biggest tax cases in American history. He’s supervising a team that was assigned to the Hunter Biden investigation. He came forward three weeks ago saying that my team and the FBI agents have been prevented from taking steps to investigate Joe Biden. We’ve been thwarted in bringing tax charges against Hunter Biden and I’d like to tell my story to the Justice Department IG, he has and to Congress.

Now the Justice IG is the same Justice IG that helped us unravel the Russia collusion story to find out that was a rules. He’s investigating it Congress the Ways and Means Committee is the only committee that can do this because in the case involves tax privacy protected information. Hunter Biden has given the assumption of tax privacy. But he believes there’s enough wrong doing that Congress should pierce that tax privacy and listen to what he has to say and he’s going to deliver documents as well. He has evidence that for at least two years maybe a little bit longer.The lead agents, the career people have been thwarted in investigating Hunter Biden indicting Biden in taking steps that could answer questions about Joe Biden. Did Joe Biden benefit from these transactions? Did he assist these transactions? He’s going to go before the Ways and Means Committee behind closed doors as early as Friday of this week. In a few weeks the committee will vote that testimony out. We’ll know exactly what this whistle blower knows.

Lance: So how far can the Justice Department interfere with justice on this?

John Solomon: They can interfere in many ways. They can refuse to bring charges. They could tell their team don’t share certain evidence with the FBI and the IRS and I believe one of the big questions that will come out at the hearing in this closed-door interview. There are all this evidence on the Hunter Biden laptop which we now know to be real. We were told there was this information. It’s real. That shows that Hunter Biden wasn’t paying taxes on Ukraine payments like $400,000 of Ukraine money got. Going back to 2014, we don’t believe the IRS was actually given that evidence. They may have been kept from it. So, if you keep evidence from the investigators, you can change the outcome of the case. You can let statutes of limitations expire and there’s a big fear that that may have happened. So, there are many different ways that career and political appointees can interfere in a case without the American public knowing about it.

Lance: And it’s not only there but I mean I think they have a problem. Because you got nine family members that are on the payroll without any actual services that are rendered for thatmoney. Which is its own problem but they have to record that or not record it. Nobody knows what’s going on there, but my suspicion is that they might have the same problem. And how do I account for this money that Hunter’s kind of getting me here from.

John Solomon: Yeah, that’s one of the many questions that James Comer particularly is looking at. Did they declare this on income? Why did it hop to so many stops? Why are there so many LLCs?

Lance: What’s the 20 corporations for?

John Solomon: Yeah, exactly. Most people have one or two corporations and they run the money through it. Why is money held for a long time and suddenly paid? We don’t know answers yet because for long-time congressional investigators were kept from the Treasury Department records. They wouldn’t let him see him. Recently, James Comer was able to bowl over that. He got to see the records now he has a road map of how money transactions occurred. Now we’re going to see who benefited. Why did they benefit and what was done? And the at the end of the day the most important question the American people. We understand Hunter Biden’s issues. Did Joe Biden take actions as president that benefited his family’s business partners. Did he manipulate US policy to try to benefit these corporations? Did he get any of the money in return? Did Hunter Biden pay his bills? There’s some evidence of that in the laptop.

Those are the fundamental questions I think Americans want to know and need to know for the 2024 election because in 2020 their job interview with Joe Biden got interrupted at the debate when he was being asked about the laptop. He said it’s Russian disinformation. That was a rules.

Lance: Alright, now I’ve had nobody able to answer this question from a year. The one guy I’ve been waiting to talk to.

John Solomon: Thank you.

Lance: 50 names.

John Solomon: Yeah.

Lance: They have basically signed off. Some of them were given a quid pro quotes implied by you know they so they got a release for their manuscripts to be published etcetera by the way we’re releasing that. We need your signature on this.

John Solomon: Yeah.

Lance: So, what if anything is a remedy for that?

John Solomon: Nothing will happen inside the Biden Justice Department or the Biden administrations because those agencies are aligned with the president right now and they as you saw from the emails between Mike Morell and John Brennan and others. They were encouraging this. They wanted this to happen. They lied to the American people. Spies put their thumb on the scale of the 2020 election. They weren’t North Korean survives. They weren’t Chinese Russian spies. They weren’t Iranian spies They were American spies who used all the craft and power and the credentials we gave them in their jobs to fool us into thinking that the Hunter Biden laptop wasn’t real. The only consequence that is potential in the next year or two is that Kevin McCarthy, the House of Republicans can vote to say anyone who has a pension, we want to suspend their pension. Anyone who wants to get a future federal contract, you can’t get it

You want your security clearance, no tax hours can be spent giving your security clearance, you’ll never be able to hold a position in government again. They can use the power of the purse to exact some form of punishment it’s unclear whether Republicans will do that they’re talking about it Jim Jordan’s talking about it. James Comer, but talk is one thing action’s another thing.We’ll see the opportunity for that will be in the September time frame when they create the 2024budget. Will they put these writers in there and say those 51 no tax dollars no pensions? That will be a big moment if that were to happen.

Lance: A huge moment. We have two minutes 22 seconds left and John Solomon you’ve got Just the News. I want make sure we do this now before we get to the end. How can people stay in touch with you and keep up with your excellent journalism?

John Solomon: We’re very lucky. “JustheNews.com” is our website. We have millions of people that come there every month. I have a podcast called John Solomon Reports. That’s on all the podcast platforms. I have a television show on Real America’s Voice. 6 PM with a man that had an amazing great conservative journalist. It’s called Just the News No Noise. 6 PM, I follow Steve Bannon on their network. He throws to me every night and then on social media, every platform, truth getter Twitter, Facebook is Jay Solomon Reports.

Lance: Alright, do you see evidence out there of the of the grassroots growing in terms of their focus engagement, because I just talked to a tea party guy that helped launch a tea party, right? And he said that yeah, he’s seeing the same energy out there. Is that what you’re observing?

John Solomon: I do. I’ve done a lot of reporting on this. I think in the spring and summer of 2023 right now, the energy level looks 1980 Reagan, 1994 Gingrich, 2010 Tea Party, 2016 Donald Trump. There is a determination. I was in Philadelphia and a young mom came up to me and said, I grew up doing the Reagan year. My mom said, she believed in the silent majority because Ronald Reagan described it and I believe it too. But we can’t be silent anymore. Silence is complicity. For an everyday mom was just trying to get her kids to school and soccer practice go to her job every day to have that level of certitude and a passion. I think there’s going to be a sea. There’s going to be a sea change election. I don’t know which way the waves are going to blow yet but I do think that Americans want a major change of course in this election’s going to be the chance to do it. I think the big change. Conservatives are going to get involved in early voting. They nearly won the last three elections without it. I think it’s a game changer for the outcome of the 2024 election.

Lance: It is and we’re going to need to clean up some voter rolls. There’re half a dozen ways these things get stolen. But I do believe that if, were you surprised by the midterm results?

John Solomon: I wasn’t, because you could see Republicans weren’t doing early voting. Democrats were doing it right till 2 o’clock on election day. Ron Johnson wins. Tim Michael doesn’t. What’s the difference in the same state? Ron Johnson did early voting. Tim didn’t. I think those are the sort of lessons we learned to be carrying the 2024.

Lance: That’s an encouraging analysis. The votes were there but the tactics weren’t.

John Solomon: Yeah.

Lance: John Solomon, you all want to listen to him. I do. That’s where I get my information like I say. If I’m off, blame John. Thank you, John.

John Solomon: Good to be with you. Thank you. You too.

Lance: We’ll be right back.

Break: Everybody is concerned about what’s happening to the economy. I mean, it wouldn’t be too far conjecture to say that it’s almost as though America is experiencing a recession that looks like it could be heading into a depression and I’m praying that Donald Trump’s prophecy that you’ll see a depression likes which you’ve never seen never happens but you know the guy was uncannily accurate in so many things he said. That’s why I’m telling my friends to go to Birch Gold right now. “Lancewallnau.com/Birch”. Get the 25-page report on how you can protect your wealth, protect your investments, protect your IRA, protect your retirement. The report that they give you is an explanation as to how commodities in gold and silver variously work during periods of time when the dollar is unstable. I’m telling you, you need to get the education. Knowledge is power. “Lancewallnau.com/Birch”. You won’t regret it.

Lance: I love John Solomon and Just the News. Keep tracking with what he’s saying. The next man that I want you to listen to is equal the expert in his field. He has argued before the Supreme Court I think 6 times. Or at least he’s had five different federal appellate courts that he’s argued in front of and he’s literally he represented the masterpiece cake shop versus Colorado. The crazy gay activist to try to shut down a baker. Bankrupt him and put him out of business. Literally setting him up and forcing him to have to choose between obeying his conscience or honoring their demand that he’d make them a gay wedding cake. But he’s also was the lead brief writer in two other US Supreme Court wins. Reid versus Town of Gilbert and Arizona Christian School.

It’s just and we don’t even hear about these cases. But the fact is we’re winning, winning, winning in the courts because of what Donald Trump did. I want you to hear Jeremy Tedesco share with you what the big threat is regarding ESG. That’s the environmental social governance issues. And also, G JP Morgan’s case where they discontinue the banking of Ambassador Sam Brownback. Its discrimination based on religion alone. But we’ve got these men on the front lines. You need to meet them. Learn who they are. Pray for them. Because they really are the warriors that are protecting you. Jeremy Tedesco. Watch this.

Welcome, welcome back to the Lands Wallnau Show ladies and gentlemen we are actually going to be doing something very important right now. We’re going to be talking about how David takes on Goliath, Wall Street, the woke corporations, big banking. I’m telling you these guys somehow overnight became a menace to the ordinary American, the conservative. And it’s really freaking me out now about what we’re going to do about it, because I’ve been had my bank account frozen been investigative. Friends of mine like Ambassador Sam Brownback who just stopped by the booth there talking about the nightmare scenario he was going through. But how serendipitous that Jeremy Tedesco is with us. Senior vice president regarding corporate consulting Alliance Defending Freedom. Thank you so much for being here Jeremy.

Jeremy Tedesco: My pleasure.

Lance: Talk to us about what this is, what has happened that is suddenly made the corporations that that used to be actually concerned about public opinion. Why are they being so in, what’s the word? Threatening to conservatives and conservative values and people like us. What’s going on?

Jeremy Tedesco: Sure. Well at the big picture level it’s really about ESG. I’m sure your audience has heard about environmental, social, and governance. ESG activists are progressive and left-wing activists that are targeting corporations and trying to convince them to adopt policies, practice, and other things that are sensorial in nature that are hostile to free speech and religious freedom. And the corporations are listening in large part because there’s no real response from conservatives who are shareholders of those companies’ customers of those companies and even employees inside those companies to push back on this. So, they’ve really become behold in the corporations to ESG and part of ESG the SNESG is social and what they drive through. The SNESG is pro-abortion policies. They drive censorship policies at social media companies and banks and they demand mistreatment of religious institutions and organizations and other businesses they don’t like fossil fuels, oil, gas, guns. I mean, basically, it’s the way for the left to use corporations to regulate society in a way they can’t get done through the electoral process.

Lance: And of course, you’re a lawyer. So, did you take a look at what the Justice Gorsuch wrote recently about Americans with his assessment of the degree of intrusion of federal oversight and expansion into the freedoms of average Americans.

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah.

Lance: And his whole his whole point is how dangerously passive Americans are in the face of federal government overreach and the same thing’s happening with corporations. Passivity is deadly.

Jeremy Tedesco: I think that’s right. There’s a lot of passivity. There’s a lot of conditioning, intentional conditioning of people to be accepting of encroachments on their liberties. And we have to wake up to the fact that private corporations, the concentration of power in the hands of private corporations especially those that control essential services like banking and payment processing and even the digital public square. Those folks have an unmatched power that we’ve almost never seen in our society before their power is just as threatening if not more to speech and religion than the government’s power. They can turn off your bank account overnight. They can stop you from communicating in what is today’s public square, the social media digital public square.

Lance: They de–platform you. They defund you like defund the police. They can just defund you.

Jeremy Tedesco: That’s right.

Lance: And now what did they do with Ambassador Brown Bank? What happened with him?

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah, well he opened an account at JP Morgan Chase last year April or so and about three weeks later they closed the account gave him no, the accountant gave him no reason why and over the next several months. And really for about a year they kept demanding for an answer and whenever Chase gave an answer it was always different than the last answer and contradictory. It usually didn’t make any sense at all. So, they always say we don’t de–bank people because of religion or politics, but there’s really no other explanation for what they did.

Lance: But wasn’t in an organization he had which is a nonprofit and it didn’t have to do with religious freedom or something.

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah.

Lance: You talk about hutzpah, this is where the Jewish people make the word. You de–bank a man who’s an ambassador, a faith ambassador for global tolerance and inclusion and punish him because he wants to have freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah. Well, their explanations were really quite laughable. One of the first ones they gave was that they were concerned that about money laundering and financing of international terrorism.

Lance: Oh yeah, sticky fingers over there. The Billy Graham Association, keep an eye on Mother Teresa.

Jeremy Tedesco: Chase’s explanations never added up and really the only thing you can take away from them is they were covering up what looked to be like political or religious discrimination.

Lance: Of course, but they have you. So, you go after them, now you do but you’re a good cop,bad cop. You strike me as someone who’s enough to know that these guys that are the woke boards and management. I think that if you don’t voice up to them hey stop that you’re annoying me, they actually go along with the loudest activist and the information you’re getting from their HR department. Coming out of the woke university the whole new suite of young people coming in and working. They’re not representing middle class America for the most part certainly. So, I don’t think that they really realize that it’s kind of like what I was talking to someone recently that Murdoch and those guys realize now they made a terrible miscalculation regarding Tucker.They didn’t recognize Tucker had brand connection like Bud Light with the Fox audience. They thought they could get rid of him and the audience didn’t care. The audience does care. These companies these banks ought to know that we care, but how do we send that message?

Jeremy Tedesco: Well, what we’re doing at ADF at Alliance Defending Freedom is we started the Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index. What it does is rate corporations in the finance and tech spaces on 42 factors that measures their respect for free speech and religious freedom.And one of the things we’re looking for on that index amongst many is whether they have vague policies that allow them to de–platform or de–bank people for religious and political reasons. None of these companies have policies to say, we’re going to cancel you if you have religious or political views we disagree with. What they do have are policies that allow them very vaguely worded policies like hate and intolerance and offensiveness and they basically say, look, we’re going to cancel you because you violated our policies and never give you the real reason.

So, we’re trying to clamp down on those kinds of policies and we’re also trying to inspire shareholders and others to engage these corporations because a lot of what’s going on is that there is no counterweight. There’s we haven’t shown up to this fight and so we’re encouraging people to show up. Just this year, we had nine shareholders, we had shareholders file shareholder resolutions at nine different financial institutions raising concerns over politicize de–banking.And that’s the way you get an audience and get their attention and drive change inside the corporations.

Lance: You guys listening to this? Because I think we have to be intelligently organized and the left organizers. I mean that’s one thing they do. But this Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index. That’s a mouthful. It’s not even an acronym. But it reveals how corporations like Chase, PayPal, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta have worked do but higher scores who make companies including large jumps by fidelity information services and M&T Bank due to survey participation show improve as possible. So, you give them the feedback and if they really feel like you’ve got to shout with some clout. They’ll actually take you seriously, right? And they’ll go, well, so how do you communicate to them and you represent a formidable body of interest?

Jeremy Tedesco: Well, a huge part of it is just leveraging shareholders. There’s a lot of institutional shareholders and individual shareholders out there who have significant positions.And what we find when we talk to the corporations and our friends talk to the corporations is that they tell our audience and our friends, we’re so glad you showed up. We knew there were people like you who existed who had these kinds of values and we just need you to show up and give us the cover to be able to go back to the board, back to the C suite and say, hey, this isn’t just a one-way conversation. There are people on the other side of this who have different values. They’re very reasonable people of good faith and so we ought not to. For instance, pay for abortions out of state just as a reaction to Dobbs, which was a huge. Pressure point from left-wing activists after Dobbs came down.

So yeah, we have stories of situations where the push to fund abortions out of state by corporations was nullified. Because good people showed up inside the corporation and said that’s not the right way to go from the standpoint of respecting our values and beliefs. So, a lot of times our shareholders too. When they file resolutions, they get to have a conversation with the C suite with the general counsel’s office and just talk them about the things that we care about, our concerns about their impact as a corporation on people’s free speech and religious freedom and that starts a conversation that can be very productive. We’ve had productive conversations with a couple corporations, fidelity information services especially that led to FIS getting 22 points higher on the index one year to the next. So, it’s those kinds of jumps that are really important. FIS is a payment processor. We need payment processors who are not going to de–bank conservatives and Christians.

Lance: I’m so furious with this. Do you know how frustrating it is? I mean look at Trudeau what Trudeau did with the truckers in Canada. You want to see where socialism naturally wants to go? Put you out of business. Then use the Department of Justice something to start prosecuting you. It’s scary folks. I’m not joking about this. We have been asleep at the switch. Alright and so Jeremy I’m let’s clarify it once again. ESG, DEI, CRT for all of our people out there that this is all any new for them.

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah.

Lance: What is the takeaway for us out here?

Jeremy Tedesco: Well, the bottom line is well DEI means diversity, equity, and inclusion and activists are demanding that corporations adopt this as the way they train their workforces with DEI programs. The problem with that is DEI is really just smuggling in CRT and Critical Gender Theory into the workplace and so it’s toxifying the workplaces creating divisions in the workplace. It’s teaching people really toxic messages and ideas about race, the oppressor oppressed economy and all those things.

Lance: Oh my God.

Jeremy Tedesco: So, there’s already been articles out saying you know corporations are realizing that this is not the best thing to feed their employees to create unity cohesion. Yeah.

Lance: They’re sowing discord and it’s almost like trying to find reasons for offense.

Jeremy Tedesco: That’s right.

Lance: And creating instead of building trust, you’re building anxiety in a corporate culture. I mean I can think of a000 reasons why it’s stupid.

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah, well that’s what the employees are saying when they get surveyed by.We did a survey where 40% of employees said where I was more fearful to express my ideas and views on these issues after this training. So, we have model programs that some of our partners have put together to help workplaces that want to change direction on that to adopt things that are positive about classic virtues and just treating people well despite their beliefs.

Lance: I totally and I think that that’s more common sense if common sense prevail. Well okay,so Jeremy this has been, we’re going to talk some more because it’s a very stimulating conversation and I think there’s ways in which our community as we got a hundred thousand people who watch this for instance. If they were informed on the latest Viewpoint Diversity Score Index on a particular company, many of them are shareholders and many of them are consumers and they could communicate to that company. I think we can act more together but how do they get in touch with you and what’s the best way to support what you’re doing?

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah, I really appreciate that. “ViewpointDiversityScore.org” is where the business index is housed. You can find a whole slew of information there on the project and engage with us.

Lance: And do you rank these corporations?

Jeremy Tedesco: Yeah, there’s all 75 corporations are ranked right there. You can interact with all the findings and see why they’re scoring so low.

Lance: I envision a day when we go through that on a program like this and we just say what’s the latest and we pick number one and everybody all hands the pump and we all communicate our encouragement to that company. Is that make sense? I don’t know. There might be tortious interference for my lawyer whether I get in trouble but thank you very much.

Jeremy Tedesco: Thank you, Lance.
