Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joining us now to talk about the movement away from
all the woke stuff that was in our world with Biden.
Isaac Willowers, an analyst Bowyer Research. Is that how you
pronounced it to Isaac?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Welcome in story of Research. Thank you for having me on. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, so, I look, I get it, boy. Donald Trump
has coming in like a tsunami and made changes. And
I got to tell you I was watching I think
I was watching Jesse last night, and uh, you know
where we are with the wave. I think it's really
crashed and it's over and moving away from where we
(00:35):
were just not so long ago in this country and
DEI policies and you know, just all all the pushdown
from the Biden administration and everybody associated with it. What
a difference on education, you know, the the election has
brought for us here now. So with the conservative movement
and common sense back in our world, I don't think
(00:57):
we let up on the gas and I don't think
we take this for granted and rest on our laurels
moving forward, because how quickly it came, it could be
quickly changed again with the changing of the guards. So
your thoughts on the progress we've made in this arena.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, agreed. I think this is this is absolutely not
the time to let up on the gas. This is
the time to press down on the gas all the
way to the floor. I mean, when you look at
the slate of executive orders that came out DEI, a
whole host of other things, right, respect for religious liberty,
this sort of thing. These are really solid eos at
the federal level. This is incredibly important. Stuff should happened
years ago, it's happening now. These are all good things.
(01:34):
But the reality is, and I point this out often
when I write, is that there are many many spheres
in this world that we're an executive order at the
CEA level has relatively little sway, Right, areas like academia
unless the federally funded. Of course, I point you to
the case of Columbia, it's going to be brilliant and beautiful.
But there are areas of our world and areas of
(01:56):
American society in which government has less influence than the
private sector than individuals with their own set of leverage. Right,
it's a boy you mentioned boy R Research. We work
in the corporate space. Right, All of our clients are shareholders,
They own stock, they own in many cases they own
large amounts of stock, and we work with them to
use their financial influence at large companies, especially ones that
don't contract with the federal government, to lobby for changes,
(02:19):
to lobby for businesses getting out of politics and focusing
on business. Right, these are areas where I'm sure Trump
would love, I'm sure many conservatives would love to be
able to just flip a magic wand and have all
that be fixed and take all the devisive DEI programs,
ESG initiatives out of boardrooms. But that's not the reality.
So in those areas where the government does not have leverage,
people have leverage. Individuals have leverage, and many of those
(02:41):
individuals are Conservatives, and it's time for us to lean
into that. This is the time absolutely to hit the
gas pedal all the way to the Floor's go time.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, I really believe that legacy media and the whole
woke wave not only as crashed and the tsunami is
over here, but I think Democrats in general, they don't
don't have any leadership right now or any any you know,
awareness of what their party is all about, and their
tone deaf to what America wants. Clearly, over seventy six
(03:11):
percent of the people in America wanted change that first
of all, and secondly did not like the policies that
were coming down the pike for the last four years here.
So do you think the Democratic Party is, you know,
in shambles right now?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Shambles is a good way to put it. I mean
you mentioned may I have no strong leadership. The problem
is they do have people who could works leadership, they
just won't pick them for whatever reason. So I live
in Pennsylvania, right, I live near Pittsburgh, and I got
to see you firsthand the process by which Josh Shapiro
was essentially ousted from the stier of the Democratic Party
because the party has some real issues with anti Semitism
(03:46):
and some real issues with how it deals with yeah
Jewish voters or Israel issues in general. Right, he could
have absolutely been the vice president. He could have been
the vice presidential candidate if he had run as I
would argue, if he had run as the presidential campaign,
this race would have been much closer. But I know
they will not learn their lesson there that the talent
does not apparently rise to the top of the Democratic Party.
(04:06):
There are some real weights holding it down, which is
crazy when they argue that that's actually the Republicans Party problem.
So maybe that's a little bit of projection. What does
the Democratic Party do from here, because right now there
are a lot of very serious interests telling the party
that has to shift further to the left, has to
shift more towards the socialist, sympathetic wing of the left right.
You saw a lot of this, especially after the killing
(04:28):
of the United Healthcare CEO, this sort of thing. The
answer is, now the party needs to normalize because there
are thousands, there's not millions of ordinary Americans, many of
whom do not live in areas where people read the
New York Times, that simply do not recognize the Democratic
Party anymore. They recognize it as the party of unions
and individual liberty and standing up for things. It is, no,
(04:49):
they don't recognize that, in large part because it is
no longer that they need to. Someone who's not an
insane person like Kamala Harris can get back to the center.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
They've all become activists, you know, and they turn in
to you know, like what's happening on Columbia. You mentioned
protesters and what's going on there, and the Democrats supporting
all of this, and you know the Congress women in
the squad that does support all of this. It's it's
not in touch with the American people and the anti
Semitism on our campuses. I mean it is real. I
(05:18):
mean us the people in Squirrel Hilly mentioned Pittsburgh. Those
people remember the attack there and what took place at
that synagogue where people were attacked just for the fact
that they're Jewish. So man, I appreciate your insight. I'd
love to have you back. What part of the area
you live in near the Burgh?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I live my firm works near south of Pittsburgh and
in a suburb of south of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
What's a suburb.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We generally try not to say exactly where it is.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Oh, okay, all right, I grew up in Wexford.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, you know, firm. It's not esg a line, but
a lot of people would would love, would love for
things to knock go well for us, so we try
and keep that under rasp. But yeah, we live south
of Pittsburgh. We're watching a lot of this politics in Pennsylvania,
Pennsylvania and Pototole state again to decide a few elections
on out. We just saw how it happens.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, I think it may be swinging red in these days.
Isaac Willawer, Thank you buy it.
