Summary
“'We were about to give you this staff writing job ... but we can’t because you’re a white guy, and we already have too many white guys on staff.'” That’s what Jacob Savage — aspiring screenwriter turned ticket scalper, father of two, and author of "The Lost Generation" — was told point-blank in a Hollywood writers’ room. He and Glenn unpack the brutal downstream effects of DEI policies: the destruction of merit in entertainment, academia, and media; the demoralization of Millennial men; collapsing marriage rates; and why young men are abandoning the Democratic Party in droves. Do these young men just need to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” in a system that’s been rigged against them? Or is America facing a vicious, unspoken form of discrimination that no one wants to name? Jacob also shares the personal turning point that forced him to stop banging his head against the wall — and the hard-earned advice he now gives his own young sons about how to be men despite a culture that tells them they’re toxic.
