Just signed a new bill into law which bars student athletes from playing on any other sports teams that do not match the gender that’s listed under birth certificates and then likewise also in the state of Texas a federal judge has just ruled that doctors cannot be compelled to perform either transgender
Surgeries or abortions if it goes against their religious beliefs and then lastly it was just revealed that George Soros is now funding anti-disinformation media companies in order to what they call Restore social trust let’s go through it all together all right this is your daily facts matter update
And I’m your host Roman from The Epic Times and now let’s begin today’s discussion by talking a bit about George Soros specifically about the fact that both him as well as another billionaire named Reed Hoffman are now founding anti-disinformation media companies in order to what they call Restore social
Trust now to be more specific Mr George Soros as well as Mr Hoffman they are funding a new Venture called good information Incorporated and then good information Inc they will use the money to fund New Media companies in order to and this is a quote from their press
Release quote restore social trust and strengthen democracy by investing in solutions that counter this information and increase the flow of good information online now this George Soros funded company good information it was founded by a woman named Miss Tara McGowan who previously ran a progressive nonprofit called acronym and if that
Sounds familiar to you well it might be because as reported in the magazine Fast Company acronym ran one of the biggest digital marketing campaigns amounting to about a hundred million dollars worth aimed at convincing millions of Americans to vote against Donald Trump in the 2020 election and then furthermore that same company acronym
Under the leadership of Ms Tara McGowan it invested in another company called Shadow and Shadow that might also sound familiar too because that was the firm that produced those vocabulation apps that were used in the Iowa caucuses last year which if you remember the reporting for that was delayed by about two weeks
And it had many many technical issues regardless Mr McGowan is now in charge of her new Venture good information which is being funded partly by George Soros and that will be investing that money into media Outlets that provide people with trusted and fact-based information that was what Miss Tara
McGowan said and on a side note maybe I will send in my application for our program facts matter and maybe we can get some of that sweet sweet George Soros funding as well you never know regardless if you’d like to read more about this new company I’ll throw a link
To it into the description box below this video for you to check out however while we are on the topic of George Soros let’s briefly talk about the Virginia elections two weeks ago Mr Glenn yunkin who is the Republican candidate for governor he was publicly discussing some of the chaos that it’s
Playing itself out in Virginia’s school system particularly with parents who are standing up to school boards and pushing back against critical race Theory being taught in the classrooms and during that speech Mr Younkin said that the blame for this problem is laid squarely at the feet of his opponent but he also added
This for these wrongs in the present chaos in our schools lay squarely squarely at the feet 40-year politician Terry McAuliffe but also and George Soros backed allies [Applause] these allies that are in the liberal Progressive Movement they’ve inserted political operatives into our school system of Disguise as school
Boards and now if you have been following politics for a while now you know that what Mr Younkin did right there is touch the third rail of public discourse he mentioned the name George Soros and so after he made that statement a congresswoman by the name of Elaine luria Who currently holds the
Second district in Virginia’s House of Representatives she came out and she claimed that just by bringing up George Soros name Mr Glenn Younkin was being anti-semitic here’s what she said call it out in my own party and I’m calling it out now evoking George Soros as a shadowy thunder is an anti-semitic
Conspiracy theory this is an unacceptable statement from Glenn Younkin however and this is the interesting part if you dig through some of the campaign Finance records that are available in the public record you will find that Miss Elaine luria herself has received tens of thousands of dollars
From packs that are linked to George Soros and in terms of what that funding actually looked like well here’s what Mr Glenn younkins communication there director wrote on Twitter George Soros himself gave five thousand dollars to Pac to the Future which later gave five thousand dollars to lyria’s campaign for
Her 2018 campaign lurier received tens of thousands of dollars from the swing left pack after Soros donated fifty thousand dollars to the organization now here I would like to mention something more broadly about this topic there is a weird Trend right now in today’s public discourse that as soon as you mentioned
The name George Soros then you are automatically either placed into the realm of conspiracy theories and or you’re called anti-Semitic which frankly is pretty weird why is it weird well I remember when I came to work in October of 2017 and I picked up that day’s copy
Of the Wall Street Journal and right there on the very front page it said that George Soros had transferred the bulk of his wealth into the open Society foundations he transferred 18 billion dollars into his foundation it was right there in black and white and ambiguous
Right there on the front page of the Wall Street Journal 18 billion dollars and afterwards I looked at that and I thought wow there’s going to be a lot of news about this and yet that wasn’t really the case not too many people talked about it in fact and think about
That for a moment George Soros made perhaps one of the biggest transfers to a foundation in American history and yet besides that article in the Wall Street Journal I did not see too many corporate media Outlets talking about it and furthermore very soon it became very obvious that people were not even
Allowed to talk about it that’s because soon after that article was published there was this incredibly awkward interview with Newt Gingrich when he was over on Fox News the number one problem in almost all these cities is George Soros elected left-wing anti-police pro-criminal District Attorneys who refused to be keep people
Locked up uh just yesterday they put somebody back on the street who’s wanted for two different murders in New York City uh you cannot solve this problem and both power hours and Biden have talked very proudly about what they call Progressive District Attorneys Progressive District Attorneys are anti-police pro-criminal and
Overwhelmingly elected with George soros’s money and they’re a major cause of the violence we’re seeing because they keep putting the violent criminals back on the street I’m not sure we need to bring people listen to this he paid for it I mean why can’t we discuss the fact that millions of dollars
Doesn’t need to be a part of this conversation okay so it’s verbose all right okay okay we’re gonna move on and right there when I saw that interview I knew that I saw something very interesting because at that very moment at least to me you revealed a small truth about the social
And political landscape what happened on Fox News gave a tiny tiny insight into truly who holds power in our society in fact it reminded me of this quote from Voltaire if you want to know who controls you look at who you are not allowed to criticize that’s a
Fascinating quote isn’t it if you want to know who controls you look at who you are not allowed to criticize I mean just mentioning it sounds conspiratorial and yet right there on that interview with Fox News the person you are not allowed to criticize one of the wealthiest
People in the world who donated at least 18 billion dollars of his money to the open Society foundations who is funding all these campaigns of all these District Attorneys across the country and you were not even allowed to say his name then a little bit closer just about
A month ago a very similar episode happened when Larry Elder was running for office over in California and he gave an interview to the the LA Times and here was one of the exchanges I’m also going to be talking about a crime we have a couple of DA’s in in the Bay
Area San Francisco and in Los Angeles George Soros appointed DA’s the D.A in La was appointed by the way SDA in San Francisco by my opponent by Gavin Newsom they’re both soft on crime they both believe in cashless bail and I’m going to urge uh the recall of those two uh
DA’s you use the phrase George Soros appointed DA’s I I think I said support it but if I said appointed I made a mistake he funded them I don’t know exactly who paid what but my impression is without George soros’s money probably neither one of them would have been elected I
Have a couple questions for you but I want to start with this one I want to ask about your decision to name drop Sydney Blumenthal and George Soros regardless of your feelings about either the names of both Jewish men have repeatedly been used by the right the alt-right in particular as anti-semitic
Dog whistles for crying out loud you know your newspaper endorsed Gavin Newsom your newspaper also believes that the recall election uh is a waste of time so let’s start with that premise it is a fact that George Soros has funded these two DA’s whether he’s a Jew a
Muslim uh a a Satanist is irrelevant those are facts and that you would suggest or imply that somehow I’m being anti-semitic when I have been a friend of Jews a friend of Israel is absolutely outrageous again the very mere mention of that name George Soros and right away
You touch an open nerve in the acceptable public discourse it is the taboo subject you can say he is the one that you are not allowed to criticize even though once again his donations are a matter of public record regardless though I personally will keep digging into the story and I will report
To you whatever it is that I find and until then if you would like to read more about some of the research that I’ve been putting together including about what happened over in Virginia as well as this New Media Venture all that will be in the description box below
This video for you to check out and all I ask in return is that you take a quick moment to smash that like button for the YouTube algorithm and now before we move on over and discuss how over in North Carolina a marketing executive who was allegedly fired for being a straight
White man just received a 10 million dollar settlement I would like to take a quick moment and introduce our sponsor for today’s episode and I will do so from the sound booth that’s right Roman the sponsor of today’s episode is an awesome company called AMAC that’s AMAC
And it stands for the association of mature American citizens now what I learned earlier today though is that you don’t actually need to be a mature American citizen yourself in order to join AMAC because even though they’re an organization that’s geared towards people who are 50 years of age and above
You can actually join at any age as long as you’re a American loving Patriot and so what they say is that as our fundamental freedoms here in this country are being threatened by politicians who don’t even necessarily know how to balance their own checking accounts and as there is a concerted
Effort to censor conservatives by this woke ideology one thing that you can do to fight back is to join the two million people who are already members of AMAC and by joining you’ll have access to three main benefits the first benefit is the money-saving benefit because by joining you’ll have access to discounts
On things like vitamins restaurants retail shops throughout the entire country second of all you will gain access to the AMAC website the AMAC app as well as the AMAC magazine which gives you something that the mainstream media doesn’t which is honest news that is grounded in facts and third of all and
This is what a lot of people say is their favorite benefit is that AMAC has your back over on Capitol Hill because with 2 million Freedom loving members they are a voice for conservatives that cannot be ignored and so if you are a person who considers themselves a constitutional Conservative then I would
Consider joining AMAC you can do so over at AMAC dot us that’s amac.us so consider signing up consider helping Amex effort and getting access to these excellent membership benefits so AMAC thank you so much for sponsoring this episode now Roman in the studio back to
You and now let’s move on over and talk about discrimination in the workplace five days ago a Hospital’s marketing executive who claimed that he was fired because he was white and then replaced by two women he won a 10 million dollar discrimination lawsuit now to give you a
Bit of background on this particular case as you likely already know companies throughout America are implementing what they call diversity and inclusion programs dnis and the term diversity in these programs it typically refers to anyone who is not white male and or straight now one such company is
A large Health Service over in the state of North Carolina called Novant Health and several years ago they implemented what they referred to as a five-year plan to boost diversity and apparently they were fairly serious about that goal how serious well there is the case of Mr
David Duvall who was not only the hospitals senior vice president for marketing and Communications but also he was a straight white male and just a few days before his five-year anniversary at the company back in 2018 he says that he was inexplicably fired his position was
Split into two and both of the new roles were filled by women a white woman was promoted to be the senior vice president of communications and then a black woman was given the role of senior vice president of marketing now because of this development Mr Davao filed a lawsuit against the hospital alleging
That for one even though both of these women were qualified they were no more qualified than he was that he regularly received positive reviews for his job performance over the past four and a half years and that lastly he was only fired so that the hospital can meet
Their Five-Year Plan to boost diversity in fact according to the lawsuit that he filed when he was fired his boss quote notified Mr Duvall of this decision and offered no explanation for it stating the decision had nothing to do with his performance that he had done everything
Asked of him and more and yet he was still fired which he alleges was a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act here’s specifically what his lawsuit States novan’s Health termination of Mr Daval for the purpose of improving diversity constituted discrimination based on sex and race
Furthermore this lawsuit alleges that he was not the only person affected by this instead he said quote the chief legal officer the Medical Group president the Chief Information officer the patient experience officer and the president of the Haymarket Medical Center were all replaced either by a black person or a
Woman in the 12 to 18 months after him now the hospital in this case it fought back and they made the argument that Mr Duvall was actually fired for other reasons such as his deficient performance however the jury did not buy that argument and instead they found
That Mr Duvall was in fact fired due to his sex and race and they awarded him with a 10 million dollar settlement here was a statement from Mr Duvall’s lawyer after this verdict was read we are pleased that the jury agreed that Duvall’s race and gender were unlawful
Factors in his termination that he was fired to make room for more diverse leaders at Novant ironically though the lawyer continued by saying that while he worked there Mr Duvall was committed to diversity and inclusion sat on a system committee to promote it and his team created marketing materials the case is
About the fact that you cannot fire people just to create opportunities to fill positions it is not a case against diversity and inclusion Mr Duvall believes that the punitive damage award is a message that an employer cannot terminate and replace employees in order to achieve greater diversity in the
Workforce and a 10 million dollar payout is indeed a strong message that the jury sent to the company now the executives over at Novant they did not take this decision too well saying that they will appeal at the Appellate level here’s a statement from the company we are extremely disappointed with the verdict
As we believe it is not supported by the evidence presented at a trial which includes our reason for Mr Duval’s termination we will pursue all legal options including appeal over the next several weeks and months it’s important for all current and future team members to know that this verdict will not
Change novance Health steadfast commitment to diversity inclusion and equity for all if if you’d like to read more about this particular case I will throw the link to an article about it as well as the PDF of this lawsuit it’ll all be down there in the description box
Below and I’ll ask in return is that if you haven’t already take a quick moment to smash that like button for the YouTube algorithm and now let’s move on over to Texas back in the year 2016 the university interscholastic League which is an organization which administers almost all of the athletic school
Programs in the state of Texas they made a rule and according to that rule which by the way passed with widespread support it required students to compete on teams which were in line with their own biological sex as stated on their birth certificates and so in Texas for
The past five years this was an administrative rule that was put in place by this particular organization however as of one week ago this rule has officially been codified into Texas law that’s right last Monday Governor Greg Abbott he signed a new bill into law which bars student athletes from playing
On any sports teams that do not match the sex listed under birth certificates specifically this bill which is officially called Texas House Bill 25 5 bars most school teams from letting students compete in competitions quote designated for the biological sex opposite to the student’s biological sex as correctly stated under official birth
Certificate now the authors of this Bill said that its aim was to restore the rights granted to women under Title IX which they say were actually eroded when biological boys were allowed to compete against biological girls for instance on the Texas house floor here’s how Miss Valerie Swanson who is a Texas
Congresswoman and also one of the authors of this Bill here’s how she describes the intention the bill protects girls safety and their right to equal access to athletic opportunities now on the flip side however critics of this bill say that it discriminates against transgender students for instance Amit parley who is the director
Of the Trevor Project they said this in a statement regarding the new law transgender and non-binary youth are already at higher risk for poor mental health and suicide because of bullying discrimination and rejection this misguided legislation will only make matters worse regardless of the criticism however the bill passed by a
Majority in both Texas house as well as the Texas Senate and then sign into law by Governor Abbott who was quoted as saying this the State House passed legislation to protect the Integrity of Texas high school sports now one thing that is still unclear and that the bill doesn’t specifically address is that
Some states such as the state of New York where we film this program now allow a third option on birth certificates so for instance if you have a baby in the state of New York on the birth certificate you can mark it as either male female or simply as ex and
So it’s not exactly clear how an athlete with one of these ex-birth certificates will be treated if they move to Texas and play sports and I guess what we’ll see is then in about 10 or 15 years there will inevitably be some kind of a lawsuit that will play out on this front
Regardless if you’d like to read more about this new Texas law I’ll throw that into the description box below this video for you to check out however since we’re discussing transgender issues over in Texas let’s talk about something else as well a federal judge in Texas has just ruled that the Biden Administration
Cannot force doctors to perform sex transition surgeries cannot force doctors to perform abortions and cannot force health insurance companies to provide coverage for such surgeries here’s what the judge in the case wrote specifically in his order the court agrees and concludes that enforcement of the Biden administration’s interpretation forces Christian
Plaintiffs to face civil penalties or to perform gender transition procedures and abortions contrary to their religious beliefs a quintessential irreparable injury now to give you a little background on this particular case back in May of this year Mr Javier Becerra who is the Biden Administration Secretary of Health and Human Services
He issued a memo which directed the federal government to interpret and enforce the Affordable Care Act in a very specific way here’s what was written in that memo the Department of Health and Human Services will interpret and enforce section 1557’s prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex to
Include for one discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and secondly on discrimination on the basis of gender identity and then in practice what that interpretation actually meant is that it made it a form of discrimination if a doctor refused to perform either a transgender surgery or an abortion
Regardless of whether or not they had a religious objection in the matter and so a religious Hospital an association of over 20 000 Health Care Professionals as well as nine different states they got together and they filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration and as
We read just a moment ago the judge in the case ruled in their favor saying that forcing doctors to do such a thing was in fact a violation of their rights here’s another part from that judge’s ruling when the religious freedom restoration act violation is clear and the threat of irreparable harm is
Present a permanent injunction exempting Christian plaintiffs from that religion burden in conduct is the appropriate relief the judge then ordered for the defendants in the case meaning the Biden Administration to permanently stop forcing doctors to perform either transgender surgeries or abortions now the plaintiffs in the case were naturally enough thrilled with the
Court’s decision here’s in fact a statement from the plaintiff’s lawyer today’s ruling is a victory for compassion conscience and common sense no doctor should be forced to perform controversial medically unsupported integers that are contrary to their conscience and could be deeply harmful to their patients now we hear at The
Epic Times we did reach out to the Department of Health and Human Services for common but we have yet to hear back regardless if you’d like to read more about this particular case I will throw the link suit into the description box below which is again right below that
