Disney Too Woke? AJ Rice Breaks Down FCC Investigation

Dawn welcomes woke expert AJ Rice, author of The White Privilege Album, onto the Dawn Stensland Show to discuss society’s move away from wokeness and toward merit under the Trump administration. First, Dawn plays back a clip from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who announced this week that Disney, NBCUniversal, and other media conglomerates will be investigated for their usage of DEI in hiring practices. This leads into a more general conversation about the corporate outlook on society, with Dawn and AJ discussing the departure from ESG ratings as they try and appeal to an audience of customers with a changing appetite. Finally, Rice and Stensland discuss new military requirements announced by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, with both agreeing about the importance of highly qualified soldiers in our armed forces.
