Still on the road...

Good day all,

It’s been a week since my last update. We’ve been filming nonstop since Virginia and we just got into Providence, RI, last night and we are enjoying our first day off today.

What follows is a visual recap of our journey so far…

We finished strong in our last day of filming in Virginia. Above is the marker for Nat Turner that was erected in 2021, presumably because of the George Floyd effect. It’s a shame that it took this long and that most of the landscape is unmarked.

After Virginia, we left for DC where we spent two days filming b-roll around the Mall. Though it was humid, the weather was great and added much beauty to our shots.

While in DC, we had the privilege of interviewing Aaron Sibarium, a journalist for the Washington Free Beacon. He covers many groundbreaking stories, including the controversy at Stanford where judge was shouted down. We asked him about the corporate culture, specifically Walmart, and how they seek to impose their DEI values on communities and their public schools, eroding American values in the process.

From DC, we drove up to Philadelphia where we interviewed Nicole Levitt (above), who works with domestic violence victims. After George Floyd, she was asked by her nonprofit workplace to support the defund the police movement — she refused because her clients need the police. She was also asked to sign a document stating that all whites are racist and she refused. She is Jewish and we asked her the complicated question of how she felt about having her Jewish identity erased by the woke movement.

After Philadelphia, we drove up to New York City where we did a series of interviews. First up was Batya Ungar-Sargon, the opinion editor for Newsweek. She gave us an unfiltered, insiders account of how media is driven by white guilt. A powerful interview. Her book on media, “Bad News,” is worth the read.

It was great to connect with our old friend, Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal, and he gave us a historical overview of how white guilt has been behind most of the government policies aimed at blacks.

Next up was Paul Rossi, a math teacher who famously refused to go along with the woke movement at the prestigious private school, Grace Church. I wrote about him for Fox about two years ago and here is the article. He gave great breakdowns of how white guilt drives the elite, WASP world. He’s returning to teaching math at Ian Rowe’s Vertex Academy this fall and the students there are lucky to have him.

We were fortunate to interview two of my favorite people in NY, Wai Wah and George Lee. You may not know them but they have long led the fight against discrimination against Asians in K-12 schools and in colleges. Their goal is simple: equal rights for all Americans. They have no white guilt and they refuse to let the white guilt/black power movement derail America.

I said “fortunate” because every time I come to NY they treat me to a feast. This time my parents got to join and see what I’ve been raving about for quite a while.

This past Sunday, we interviewed 12 year old Kristina Raevsky, who is the child of immigrants from the former USSR and refused to go along with the lowering of standards in NY public schools. She said most kids feel like they don’t have a say in their education and she refuses to accept that. She described herself as an activist for merit.

Our last interview in NY was with a rising star on today’s political/policy landscape, Rafael Mangual. The son of a New York City cop, he broke down how destructive BLM has been and how they have gotten away with murder (my words) — after monumental declines, the murders of blacks jumped back up beginning in 2015. It shows how deadly white guilt/black power can be to our society. Rafael was recently on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah and the video is worth a watch.

That’s about it for now. We’re going to enjoy our day off and then hit the last batch of interviews before returning home this Sunday. It’s been a very productive trip and can’t wait to see my kids, girlfriend, and pup:

I’ll send another update when back home. Until then, be well,

Eli
