Ep 813 | Is Chick-fil-A Moving Left? & Khloe Kardashian’s Surrogacy Confession

Today we're talking about Chick-fil-A's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which have provoked backlash today after conservatives discovered some rather left-leaning language on the company's site. We look at what the company claims in these initiatives (and the fact that it has a VP of DEI to begin with) and share the real problems with DEI. Then, Khloe Kardashian shines some light on the dark truth of surrogacy in a new clip from her show "The Kardashians." In the show, she expresses how transactional her surrogacy experience seemed to be. We explain why she's absolutely right and why more and more people are realizing the many dark sides of surrogacy, which has more ties to human trafficking than most are willing to admit. We also offer some encouragement for the week.
