What if the cultural battles of the last decade — DEI, BLM, campus politics, “woke capitalism,” and corporate virtue signaling — weren’t organic at all, but manufactured chaos that finally hit its breaking point?

In this explosive episode of Futures Edge, hosts Bob Iaccino and Jim Iuorio sit down with one of the sharpest, most fearless cultural analysts in America: Professor Wilfred Reilly — political scientist, data-driven truth-teller, and author of Hate Crime Hoax, Taboo, and Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me.

Reilly brings the fire right away — from the fall of DEI in corporate America, to the hypocrisy of COVID-era politics, to the real origins of campus radicalism and why the University of Illinois mascot controversy was “the precursor to BLM, Antifa, and all the BS we’re dealing with today.”

This episode is packed with sharp commentary, humor, uncomfortable truths, and the kind of clarity you only get from someone who lives in both academia and the real world.
