Episode 1087: The Killer Political Correctness with Betsey Bell
Summary
Host Betsy Bell argues that political correctness is a destructive force that stifles free speech, citing Colin Powell’s 1997 warning and his later endorsement of Barack Obama as evidence of its damaging influence. The episode also covers the controversy surrounding Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola and the alleged recruitment of a second Dan Sullivan to confuse voters in Alaska. Finally, Bell discusses a newly uncovered 14-page "Protect Democracy" playbook aimed at preventing election audits and controlling the post-midterm narrative.
