In an interview that spanned nearly the duration of the timeslot (minus the commercials), CNN Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo and HBO’s Bill Maher had a conversation that covered everything from former President Trump, to “wokeness,” to Dave Chappelle . But one of the more impactful topics was their back and forth on Critical Race Theory. There, Maher schooled Cuomo on how the racist ideology was applied in classrooms: separating students based on race and the whites called “oppressors.”
After coming back from a commercial, Fredo lashed out at parents opposed to CRT and declared them too stupid to understand even what the letters in the acronym stood for: You can explain it away as ignorance of what CRT is. Here’s my problem with it, and I want to get your take. CRT means nothing to anybody. They don’t know what the acronym stands for . It’s really not taught anywhere. “ Here’s the problem. They still get to vote for you. And feel overwhelms facts all the time in elections ,” he added.
But Maher wasn’t having it and immediately called Fredo out. “And it’s not a phantom either. That there’s something going on in the schools that never went on before,” he noted, describing how he’s read numerous “accounts from parents, from educators” about what was going on in schools across the country.
After noting that no one was against teaching an honest assessment of the Civil War and slavery, Maher argued, “That’s different than teaching that racism is the essence of America. That’s what people get upset about, or involving children who are probably not old enough or sophisticated enough to understand this very complicated issue with a very complicated history.” To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
CRT being forced on children was the crux of the issue for Maher, essentially destroying their innocence by making them think they or their classmates are racist. “Kids are taught […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
