    Jan 5 2026

    In Ep. 121, Jerry Bowyer interviews Rick Graber, CEO of The Bradley Foundation and former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, on the right’s shift from classical liberalism to nationalism, the failure to defend capitalism, and victories against DEI and ESG. Graber warns about judicial overreach and rising anti-Semitism, explains how Bradley Foundation grantees are steering corporations back to principle, and shares why, despite deep divisions, there’s still reason for optimism about America’s future.

  • Dear McDonald’s: Focus on Fries, Not Quotas
    Aug 15 2025

    In this episode, Jerry welcomes Newsweek’s Jesse Edwards to unpack the controversy surrounding McDonalds’ decision to step back from its DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hiring quotas. Together, they explore:

    • Why corporations are expected to take stances on social and political issues at all
    • How DEI initiatives often lead to further corporate activism — and unintended consequences
    • Why these programs often harm the very people they pretend to support

    Jesse shares insights from his recent Newsweek article, arguing that complex societal challenges shouldn’t be solved through corporate experiments. As he puts it: “There’s no logical reason to expect a company like McDonald’s to solve these issues by using its workforce as guinea pigs for social engineering.”

    Listen in for a candid conversation on the limits of corporate responsibility — and why sometimes, fries should just be fries.
