Cut the Bull
An insightful podcast that discusses the news of the day and cultural issues plaguing our society. The goal of the show is to bring logic and context to these topics and address solutions, something that is rarely discussed by mainstream pundits. The trio has a knack of approaching serious issues with tremendous wit, humility, and occasional humor but never from a place of anger and with absolutely NO BULL!

In this episode, John McWhorter, Columbia University professor, writer, podcast host, and author joins the team. They discuss the social media fervor over the Juneteenth holiday, and take an interesting look back.
In 2001, John penned an eloquent article for City Journal entitled, "What's Holding Blacks Back?" In it, he listed pervasive beliefs by blacks, myths commonly believed by blacks, and internal issues that impede success for far too many blacks. We are coming up on a 20-year anniversary of the article so we ask him, "How much has changed?"
We also discuss his podcast and his latest book, Nine Nasty Words.
