The destructive intersection of politics and American business has reached new heights with the emergence of what can only be described as "Tesla terrorism." Across the country, vandals are targeting Tesla vehicles—keying them, damaging them, and in some cases even firebombing them—all because they disagree with Elon Musk's political viewpoints. The irony? These criminals are being caught red-handed by Tesla's own sophisticated camera systems, which activate whenever someone approaches the vehicle.

What's truly disturbing is how some progressives are actively cheering for Tesla's downfall, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Musk only owns about 13% of the company. When they celebrate Tesla's stock dropping, they're actually celebrating damage to countless Americans' retirement accounts and the potential loss of American manufacturing jobs. Meanwhile, Chinese EV manufacturer BYD is gaining market share globally, offering faster charging and competitive features. The contradiction is striking: those who typically champion American jobs are gleefully supporting a foreign competitor over an American company simply because they dislike the CEO's politics.

This same culture war mentality has infected Disney, where the Snow White remake starring Rachel Zegler has become a box office disaster. Zegler's pre-release comments about changing the fundamental story—declaring Snow White wouldn't be saved by the prince and wouldn't dream of true love—alienated the film's natural audience. Now Disney has paused all live-action remakes except for Lilo & Stitch as the film struggles to reach even a fraction of the $500 million needed to break even. The entertainment giant is learning a painful lesson about respecting beloved stories and understanding audience expectations before making dramatic changes to established characters and narratives.

Are we witnessing the death of common sense in corporate America? When political tribalism trumps business fundamentals, when vandalism becomes celebrated activism, and when classic stories are transformed beyond recognition to serve contemporary ideological purposes, perhaps it's time to step back and question whether we've lost our way. Listen in as we examine these troubling trends and what they mean for the future of American business and entertainment.

Can increased diversity, equity, and inclusion policies compromise public safety? We dive into this complex and controversial issue by examining the impact of DEI guidelines on hiring practices in critical sectors like aviation and firefighting. With a focus on a tragic incident involving American Airlines and a Black Hawk helicopter near Washington, we question whether the FAA's commitment to inclusivity, including hiring individuals with disabilities, might compromise safety.
