Speaker 2: We've got a busy week as slated ahead in the
North Carolina General Assembly. To get some details on that
this afternoon. It's my pleasure to welcome to the show
this afternoon. AP Dylan, who covers a news over at
her substack as well as at North State Journal APA.
Bill filing deadline expected in the next couple of days.
Tell us what you're keeping track of in the GA
this week.
Speaker 3: Well, there's been over a thousand bills filed across both
chambers so far, but the House still has until third
of this week to file more bills, and I have
a feeling we're going to see that total increase. Most
of those bills probably won't make it through the crossover
so far, the committees that have been hearing certain bills
have only been really concentrating on things like public safety
law enforcements, some of the hurricane related issues, agriculture issues,
and healthcare, and a couple of education bills, in particular
the cell phone band bill for K twelve schools. Those
have been the things that we've seen mostly moving through
the committees.
Speaker 2: You know, it's pretty interesting, Apen you bring up hurricane relief,
and obviously, going back, you know, six months ago, the
western half of our state was dealing with the devastation
and destruction of Helene. You do kind of wonder if
that didn't happen, what this legislative session would have looked like.
A vast majority of the conversation has been around that
hurricane relief, but as you noted, some other major priorities
for Republicans still able to at least squeeze through as
of right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a lot of talk about the hurricane pieces,
and I think that we're going to see a little
bit more and whatever budget plans come out. It does
seem like there is a push within the Republican side
of the legislature for dose related type things, cutting waste
cutting fraud. I know the House Oversight Committee has been
looking at all the different agencies and seeing where they
can shore things up, you know, getting rid of vacant positions,
you know, checking on contracts and leases and that sort
of thing. But also in the Senate we've seen Senator
Berger taking a good look at DEI programs and K
twelve schools and the university level. There's a bill running
through there right now which I'm sort of keeping tabs on,
but he's also taking a look at the calendar bills
for K twelve. This has been a sticky wicket for
a number of years now where districts have wanted more
flexibility in their start and end dates, and about ten
or eleven districts in the past couple of years of
basically their notes at the calendar law and set their
own opening and closing. But under with Burger signing on
to it, a bill was filed in the Senate that
would give an alternative day and start opening and start
as opposed to what's currently in statute. Normally, it's like,
I think the last Friday closest to the end of
the year, near Labor Day, which is the earliest opening,
and then the earliest closing is something like the last
Friday in June typically, but he's offered a different set
of opening and closing dates in this bill, so that'll
be worth watching.
Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny you bring up something like
the school calendar bill, which you know inherently does not
sound like it's really that big of a deal ap,
but for districts that are mandated and required. You know,
we've got one hundred counties, one hundred and I think
it's twenty some odd school districts across the state that
are mandated to work by the laws set out in
general Statue. This causes real havoc when you get around
the Christmas break and standardized time, midterms and all of
that are coming up. It creates real havoc for these
local districts. And as you noted, a couple of them
and said, we're just going to break the law, and
they've decided to do it anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were no teeth in the previous law. This version, however,
would put teeth into it and would cut into funding
ex funding threats if they don't adhere to one of
those two opening closing date sets. It's interesting because you know,
the lobbyists for the tourism industry, you know, they've said that,
you know, the current calendar law has stabilized tourism dollars
and there's been an increase in tourism spending because the
summer block is set in stone. But other but the
districts have said, you know, hey, this doesn't really work
for us in particular where we are in a state,
and it's causing kids to you know, take exams from
their second quarter from the first half of the year
after the Christmas break into January. So it's breaking up
the year in a way that's not good for the students.
So there's some discussion to be had on both sides.
And I have a feeling that when this one hits
the different committees, it's going to get some discussion.
Speaker 2: We're joined by Ap dill in this afternoon on the
Pete Calendar Show. So Ap walk us through this process. Now,
Thursday is the deadline for everything to be filed through
the House. What do things look like in the coming
weeks and months after that? The Senate deadline was last week.
Where do we go from here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, public bills, the Senate deadline was last week. The
public bill deadline is April third, which is this week
for the House. Once that happens, the bills will be
passed through different committees and we'll have to get approved
by the committees in order to get to a floor vote.
Any bill that doesn't receive a floor bill vote in
its chamber of origins, say, you know, say House Bill
five is in House in the House, and it goes
to the committees, and it gets to the floor and
it gets passed by that that bill will make it
through crossover. So crossover is on May eighth, and that's
when all the bills that are passed by one chamber
and sent have to be sent to another in order
to be considered for full passage by the General Assembly.
Speaker 2: Ap Obviously, Democrats are in the minority up in the
North Carolina General Assembly. While Republicans do not hold a
super majority in ball chambers, they do very squarely hold
the majority. You mentioned that there's likely a vast number
of pieces of legislation that won't go through, many of
those introduced by Democrats in the Raleigh. What are some
of those pieces of legislation that you've been keeping an
eye on.
Speaker 3: Well, there's been some interesting pieces in there. A lot
of them look like. There are bills that have been
filed multiple times in the past, some of them dealing
with marriage equality, wanting to recognize unions outside of what
state law says is one man, one woman. There's another
one that wants to protect certain hairstyles. One in particular
was giving over ten thousand dollars to North Carolina State
University for diversity and pickleball.
Speaker 2: I say that one more time. How much for diversity
pick aby? You talking about the game?
Speaker 3: Yes, over ten thousand dollars to university. Another one would
prohibit occupant octopus farming for the purpose of human consumption.
In other words, no kalamari for you. There is another
one that this was landed about a week ago, and
that was the Skip the Stuff Act, and it would
impose penalties on restaurants that took seed one hundred dollars
per day for any restaurant that gave out single use
foodwaar items with to go food or delivery services that
weren't asked for specifically by the customer. Wow, I don't
know what that's about.
Speaker 2: Hard pressing issues up for Democrats in the General Assembly.
Now let me ask you this. So obviously we've got
a brand new governor. We've got Josh Stein. He is
very much a Democrat, you can look at his track
record as he previously served as the Attorney General, but
a pee, we really don't know how this relationship between
him and the Republican GA is going to work. We
know what the past relationship was with Roy Cooper, but
up to this point right now, things seem to be
pretty amicable between the Republican led GA and the Democrat governor.
Speaker 3: Well, that's sort of the sense that I got. I
sat down with the Rules chair represented John Bell a
couple weeks back, and we were talking about bills that
might or might not go through where whether Josh Stein
would be taking up Roy Cooper's veto pen and he
said that he didn't really see that being as much
of an issue, and that he had talked to Stein
more in the last few weeks than he had talked
to Roy Cooper in all eight years of his term.
So apparently he's been very communicative with the leadership over
the legislature, and a lot of it has been about
the hurricane funding and disaster relief. He seems to be
extremely engaged in that, So I give him credit for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think the disaster relief I mean this
idea which it truly is a bipartisan issue. Everybody wants
the recovery and restoration efforts to get kicked into full
drive out in western North Carolina. It might end up
being a saving grace in terms of keeping that relationship
a square between the governor and the General Assembly. AP,
you just went through a lot. You're tracking those details
over at the North State Journal. You're also tracking those
over at your substack. How do folks keep up to
date with you?
Speaker 3: Well, they can find my stuff at North State Journal
at nsjonline dot com and just look for my byline
AP Dylan. And if you're looking for me on substack,
you can find me at AP Dylan dot substack dot com. Also,

Speaker 2: Earlier this earlier in the show Today, talking about Susie
Wilde's who of course, is the chief of staff for
President Trump, led an incredibly successful campaign for him in
the past election cycle last year and really has been
setting the tone for what's going on in this administration
in Washington, d C. But one of the things that
I've really noted with this second administration or Trump two
point zero is that everybody associated with Trump is moving
in the same direction. All of the cabinet picks, all
of the cabinet secretaries, everybody that has surrounded himself with
They all understand what's going on. They all know what
is in front of them, the timeframe that's in front
of them, and how they need to get things done.
And obviously Trump is the one that is driving the narrative. Sure,
but he's not pulling people across the line, yelling and
screaming and kicking to implement his agenda. Right, He's working
with a cabinet, working with individuals that are lock and
step with what he believes and feels and want, the
same thing that has made his job so much easier
now in the grand scheme of things, incredibly complicated, sure,
but he's not having to fight with his own people
to get things done. And even in that caught an
interesting story over the weekend, the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC,
which is responsible for regulating AM and FM radio stations,
broadcast television outlets. The FCC, you're very familiar with them. Well,
over the weekend we learned that they have opened an
investigation into ABC and their parent company, Disney, to ensure
that neither entity is violating equal employment opportunities in regulations
through di discrimination. And so when I talk about everybody
working together, this is an example of it. Trump signs
his executive order on DEI, the left of course flies
off the handle because you know what else are they
going to do there in the minority. Their ideas are
no good, their ideas aren't popular, Nobody agrees with what
they want, so they just fly off the handle on it.
But yet inside the administration, inside Trump Camp, individuals that
are working alongside the president, they're continually moving in the
same direction that he is. And so FCC Chairman Brendan Carr,
who was already on the FCC, he was one of
the lone voices against the major sale of hundreds of
radio stations to George Soros and his entity back late
last year. He is now the chairman of the FCC
under this new administration, and he wrote a letter to
Walt Disney Company Chief Operating our chief executive officer rather
Bob Iger, and he wrote this quote, I want to
ensure that Disney and ABC have not been violating the
FCC's Equal Employment Opportunity regulations by promoting individual forms of
diversity equity and inclusion discrimination. The FCC reporter that they
are working to ensure that ABC and Disney have ended
quote any and all discriminatory initiatives in substance, not just
in name. The letter continues, that's key right there as well.
We've seen this take place. I talked about this on
Maya podcast on Friday. These college campuses that are getting
rid of their DEI departments because they're now being deemed illegal.
While many of them are getting rid of the name diversity,
Equity and inclusion. While they'll put out a press release
and claim that they are shuttering the office, in practicality,
what they're doing is they're just reorganizing the people, right.
They're not throwing out the chessboard. They're just reorganizing where
everybody's sitting. So in fact, they are getting rid of
their diversity equity and inclusion departments. Everybody is still employed
and those agendas, those narratives, those actions are now just
taking place under different agencies, under different groups. Instead of
doing it under the DEI department, now you're doing it
under the Student Services department, or now you're doing it
under human resources or campus Life or whatever other entity
you've got on your college campus that can continue to
roll out this work. And this is going to be
a big kind of whack a mole game that I
see taking place over the next couple of years. Is
as these groups, as these entities, begin the process of
dismantling DEI, well, somebody's got to be coming in behind
them and making sure that it's actually happening, because we
know that deep down these individuals are all in favor
of these incredibly discriminatory practices that they have ushered in.
We know deep down that they are all in faise
of these things that come out of DEI, and they're
not going to give it up without a fight. They're
going to attempt to masquerate it. They're going to shove
it somewhere else in the organization so that they can
publicly state dei's over. DEI no longer exists. No, we're
not doing any of that stuff. Anymore. Look at this,
Look at this press release. We don't even have a
DEI department. That's how they're going to operate. The Left
is very smart on dealing with this stuff. So when
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr sends this letter to Bob Iger
over at Disney and says, hey, we're going to make
sure that you've not only just ended these practices in name,
but make sure that you're doing it in substance, that's
a pretty big that's a pretty big deal. The FCC
chairman is also investigating whether Disney's actions at all times
were in compliance with FCC regulations, even if those actions
in question have ended. The chairman wrote in the letter
to Bob Iger, quote, Disney started out a century ago
as an iconic American company, and for decades Disney focused
on churning out box office and programming successes. But then
something changed. Disney has now been embroiled in rounds of
controversy surrounding its DEI policy, noting that there have been
several reports that have come forth to the FCC suggesting
that Disney executives went all in on various DEI policies
that in fact were incredibly discriminatory in nature. The FCC
Commissioners said that the Disney was quote infected and that
the company's entire operation and decision making was surrounding DEI.
Under the Communications Act and FCC guidelines, companies like ABC
and Disney, their parent company, are prevented from discriminating under
the basis of race, religion, natural origin, age, or gender
because in many cases they are operating licenses that are
under the sole authority of the Federal Communications Commission. This
is a very interesting thing coming out of the FCC.
I'll have some more details on it coming up here
in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to
a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina.
Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of
Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon,
maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get
family and friends together for a big old reunion, Cabins
of Asheville has the ideal spot for you where you
can reconnect with your loved ones and the things that
truly matter, nestled within the breath. Taking fourteen thousand acres
of the Pisga National Forest. Their cabins offer a serene
escape in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, centrally
located between Ashville and the entrance of the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park. It's the perfect balance of seclusion and
proximity to all the local attractions with hot tubs, fireplaces,
air conditioning, smart TVs, Wi Fi grills, outdoor tables and
your own private covered porch. Choose from thirteen cabins, six cottages,
two villas, and a great lodge with eleven king sized bedrooms.
Cabins of Ashville has the ideal spot for you for
any occasion, and they have pet friendly accommodations. Call her
text eight two eight three six seven seventy sixty eight
or check out all there is to offer at Cabins
Offashville dot com and make memories that'll last a lifetime.
Speaker 2: We're talking before the break about this a letter that
the FCC Commissioner, Brendan Carr has sent to the CEO
over at Disney which owns ABC Bob Iiger, talking about
their discriminatory practices that we are all well aware of
that we have seen play out and unfold in the
national public media space over over the last couple of years.
And the one note, the one line I want to
go back to, and this really is going to be
a big issue for this administration to deal with, is this.
In the letter from card to Eiger, it says this,
for the FCC is working to ensure that ABC and
Disney have ended any and all discriminatory initiatives in substance,
not just in name end quote, so actually ending the policies.
And as I mentioned, this is going to be a
big whack a mole for this administration to deal with
because the Left, to their credit, is very smart at
masquerading what they do. To their credit, they are very
smart at not announcing publicly how they're going to operate. Now,
they did spin up all of these DEI departments and
entities all over the place. It's a multi billion dollar
industry across the United States and in other portions of
the world as well. But now that they've been called
on it, now that they've been told you can't operate
in this manner, you're not going to be allowed to
And the fact that this even has to be said
is quite remarkable. But the fact that they are no
longer going to be allowed to discriminate against individuals based
on their race or their sex, which are the core
principles of so called diversity, equity and inclusion that has
been brought in by these people. The fact that they're
no longer going to be able to do this, well,
they don't want to go down without a fight. Or
there's a lot of people getting rich off DEI. There's
a lot of consulting firms, a lot of entities that
have gone into major businesses and raked down a ton
of cash promoting this kind of ideology, and they're not
just going to give it up. It's something like an
eight or nine billion dollar industry. I mean, it's an
insane amount of money that is spent on diversity, equity
and inclusion. And so because it's such a big business,
because it has been, at least for the left, what
they believe, a very prosperous venture, even though the vast
majority of the American people are discussed by the notion,
the vast majority of the American people are not okay
with discriminating against individuals like come out of these diversity
equity and inclusion departments. They're not going to give it
up without a fight, and so step one for them
is to hide how they're doing DEI, to just not
call it DEI anymore, because in their minds, in their book,
once they stop calling a DEI, then the scrutiny goes away.
Once they have abolished their diversity, Equity and Inclusion departments
or their EDI departments, that they kind of jumble around
the acronym a little bit depending on the entity that
you're in. But once they get rid of that group,
they're going to pack themselves on the back and say
job well done. But see, the reality is the group's
not going away now. Its name is going away, but
all of the employees are still there. Nobody's being fired.
When these DEI departments are being dissolved, they're being shifted
into other entities within the organization. I had a story
last week out of the University of Michigan, which has
the largest Diversity, Equity and Inclusion department across college campuses.
The amount of money that they spend on DEI over
at the University of Michigan is absurd. It is It
is nuts. When you start digging into the details of
what is spent on DEI over at the University of Michigan,
and like many other entities, they have said we're scrapping
our DEI department. They put out a letter last week.
The chancellor sent a note out to the entire student body,
into all the staff, everybody working at the University of
Michigan and said, we're ending our DEI strategic Plan. We're
getting rid of our department, even though they'd already spent
two hundred and fifty million dollars on DEI efforts and
had a whopping one hundred and sixty three people employed
in the DEI profession, one hundred and sixty three people
within the University of Michigan. So what have they done. Oh,
they have moved individuals into new programs. They have shifted
the agency and the department in which they work under
and moved them somewhere else. For example, now under the
student Body organization there is the Enhancing International Graduate Student
Diversity Group, but it's see no longer under the DEI umbrella.
So they think they're good to go. How about the
DEI in Carbon Neutrality and Sustainability Efforts Group Now that
one's got DEI right in the name. I'm not sure
what they're thinking with that. And some of the other
entities and agencies within the University of Michigan because they
don't want to give this stuff up. They've spent two
hundred and fifty million dollar dollars on DI They have
one hundred and sixty three full time employees dealing with this.
But this is a massive cash cow for the left.
There are people that have gotten filthy rich off of DEI,
shaking down companies, shaking down colleges, shaking down institutions that hey,
you better hire us at the tune of hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year, millions of dollars a year
to bring DEI into your university, to bring DEI into
your company, to bring DEI into your institution. Or if not,
now we're going to maybe stage a protest in front
of you guys. Maybe we'll planning some coverage in the
news about how awful your entity is. Equates to extortion,
It would be illegal, but because it's being propagated by
the left and because everybody's on board with it, no
problem at all. This is a massive money maker for
the left, and so for Trump and his administration. For
the FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who were talking about this afternoon.
It's not as simple, and I appreciate his comments in
the letter that it's not just getting rid of DEI
in name, but it's actually ripping out these incredibly destructive
and dangerous policies that are within DEI and rooting them
out of these organizations. Now, the FCC chairman has jurisdiction
over these groups. Disney owns ABC, they fall under the
umbrella of the FCC, and they are legally obligated and
required to follow what comes out of the FCC. If not,
they would have to provoke, potentially revoke their broadcast licenses
on some of the ABC owned and operated stations. I mean,
so they're not playing around here. This administration is not
playing around. I don't think the FCC Commissioner's playing around
with this either. And this is going to happen all
over the place. It's happening over at the University of
Michigan right now as they move into their DEI Strategic
Plan two point zero, which is what they're calling, really
hiding it there and Plane Psychi is great work, all right.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this show, you know, I try
to keep up with all sorts of current events and
I know you do too, and you've probably heard me
say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well, because
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've
been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and
it's a website and it combines news from around the
world in one place so you can compare coverage and
verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground,
dot news, slash pete. I put the link in the

Speaker 2: Ten. I got a tweet during the break or an
ax A post, however you're supposed to call it during
the break about DEI the comment says there's no way
DEI is a multi billion dollar industry. Well, I've got
a press release here. This was from Business Wire back
in December of twenty twenty three, and I knew I
had this report, Somemore. I knew I wasn't completely unhinged
on this, and it says this that DEI is currently.
This was in twenty twenty two. They published the report
in twenty twenty three, But in twenty twenty two it
was a nine point four billion dollar industry, and the study,
which was conducted by Research and Markets dot Com, indicated
that global Diversity and Inclusion Markets DEI markets would reach
a whopping twenty four point four billion dollars by twenty thirty. Now,
I think it's safe to say that that number is
probably no longer accurate with the executive orders that have
come out of this administration. But the fact that this
was a nine plus billion dollar industry back just a
couple of years ago, I think only lends itself more
to the point that you're really going to have to
try hard to shut this stuff down. Somebody is making
money on a nine point four billion dollar industry. Somebody
is getting rich off of diversity, equity and inclusion. And
in many cases it's the consulting groups. I mean, since
the rise of DEI, there are numerous companies and groups
that go around selling their services to companies all across
the world, and I would akin to some level of extortion.
They go into these companies and claim, hey, you guys
don't have DEI policies, you're a bunch of racists. Start
writing us checks, so we're going to put a boycott
out for your company. That's how this shakedown happens, and
it's been very successful, to the credit of the big
DEI business, to the DEI industry who has been able
to rake in all of this money. These consulting groups
are getting rich off this stuff. But of course it
has a real impact, right We've seen the impact that
DEI has had. We've watched, unfortunately, all of the different
trainings and all of the different questions that are asked
during the job hiring and interview process. All of this
stuff has made its way to social media. All of
it's made its way on Facebook and x and all
over the place, and every day, every day, regular normal
American people have looked at this stuff and going, this
is what you're asking somebody on a job interview, you're
specifically discriminating against people based on the race, you're specifically
discriminating against people based on their sex, and what country
and what time are we living where that is socially
acceptable in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five,
whatever the year is. It's absurd. All of the work
that went on over the last you know, eighty plus
years in regards to civil rights and now we're back
to actively hiring people based on their skin color. But
where did we lose the narrative here? Where did we
lose the messaging here? But that's what Dei has brought forward,
and it's all of this, all of these efforts that
have seeped out into regular mainstream discussions that have caused
people to say, this stuff is a disaster. It has
caused regular everyday people to go, this stuff is nuts.
And the political party that is trying to shovel the
stuff down our throats, these people are crazy. And the
end result is, well, you see how it plays out
in the elections. The end result is an all time
lows for the Democrat Party when you look at political polling,
all time lows with individuals evacuating the Democrat Party at
a record rate, makes perfect sense, completely makes sense to me.
Nobody is four actively discriminating against people except for individuals
working within the DEI business. Now, of course they'll claim
that's not true, that's not really happening. This is a
manufacturing of the far right, radical conservative wing of the
GOP right. They'll claim whatever to try and get the
pressure off of them. But it's all out there in
the public. It's all out there for everybody to see. Now,
there was a period of time where they tried this
stuff pretty close to their vest where it didn't seep
out into the greater lexicon of the American people. But
that kind of evaporated away a few years ago. With
all of these job postings and interviews being recorded in
all of this stuff, there was no good way for
them to hide it anymore. And then everybody became aware
of these practices. Everybody became aware of the policies that
had been enacted by major institutions, both public and private,
and the impacts that it had. I mean, look at
what happened up at Chapel Hill with their admission scandal.
I mean, they were struck down by the United States
Supreme Court in who they were admitting into UNC Chapel Hill.
The Supreme Court claimed that they were actively discriminating against people.
So the idea that this is just some right wing
fairy tale is absurd. There is example after example after
example of this happening, of this rolling out, And I'll
go back to the premise on all of this started
off with this letter from FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr to
the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, late last week, in
which he said, we are going to make sure that
you're not only getting rid of DEI in name, but
making sure that the substance of DEI actually goes away
as well. Because Brandon Carr, the individuals in the administration,
the people that are surrounding him at the FCC know
how big of a business this is. They know the
hoops that the left will jump through to make sure
that these policies stay in place. He knows that they
will fight tooth and nail to make sure that these
entities continue to exist, just under a different name or
just under a different entity within their company. The policies,
the platforms, the discrimination, all of that will stay if
the left had their way, And so I give a
huge shout out to Brendan Carr who's doing a phenomenal
job in leading the FCC on calling out Disney and
hopefully putting other entities and organizations under the same watch right,
because this is going to be a major major issue
for this administration to root out.
