Deprogrammed with Keri Smith
I spent over 20 years in the Social Justice ("Woke") cult, picking it up at Duke University in the late 1990s and then pushing the ideology through my work in the entertainment industry in comedy and TV. After a slow years-long process of waking up and leaving the cult, I started Deprogrammed as a series of interviews intended to better understand and make sense of my old belief system, Woke ideology, and it's rise to cultural dominance.
I help people leave the Woke cult by illuminating the ways it which it is NOT liberalism and by sharing the stories of those of us who've left it. I help parents, spouses, employees and other regular folks understand what Woke ideology is and how it operates in schools, churches, the workplace and society.
Deprogrammed is committed to fostering conversation, supporting individual liberties (free speech, private property rights, the 2nd amendment), helping people find meaning and purpose, and making space for both reason and faith.

Jordan Peterson has caused quite a bit of conversation by talking about the Psychopathology of both Woke Left and Woke Right on the Joe Rogan podcast. Let's watch some clips and discuss the Cluster B traits found in would-be tyrants.

In the year 2025, the UK Supreme Court had to rule on what was obvious throughout all of human history until yesterday: that men are not women, and will not be treated as such under UK law. This was a victory for truth, for science, for objective reality, for nature, for reason and for humankind. What lead to this decision? Who is the group - For Women Scotland - who brought the case? What does it mean for same-sex spaces in the UK? What does it mean for women's sports, scholarships and awards? All that and more today at 2pm CST on a LIVE #Deprogrammed with Keri Smith. youtube.com/live/c2I-8dxVPxU?si=HlJI4KbNAC2o4-9p

NEW TIME TODAY: 3:30pm CST
Everyone is discussing the recent Douglas Murray and Dave Smith "debate" on Joe Rogan and it's becoming something of a fascinating ink blot test. People saw wildly different things happening in this discussion - and some disagree on whether it was even a debate at all. I think Murray used the appearance as an opportunity to deliver a very somber message about the personal responsibility, power in the new media age and rising dark ideology. Join us for a LIVE #Deprogrammed with Keri Smith at 3:30pm CST on Monday, April 14th as I try to explain what it is that I and many others saw happening, to those who saw something else entirely.

Hey Folks, I have come down with a bad cold or flu or something - been battling it since Wednesday and am now conceding the battle. I don't feel up to sitting upright today and don't want you to suffer through me sneezing and sniffling either, so - I will suggest that you go check out the Douglas Murray and Dave Smith debate on Joe Rogan, if you haven't already. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah6kirk...
This debate is proving to be something of an inkblot test. I haven't seen this many people I respect have such disparate opinions from one another since the Barbie movie. 😆
FWIW, I do appreciate that in the first 20 minutes, even Dave Smith agrees with Douglas that there is a kind of "racialism" (Dave's word) growing online among those who claim to be on the "right." Douglas calls it dark and dangerous. I think the growing sentiment they are referring to and agreeing on is what is most often being called Woke "Right."
I will have more thoughts on it later, but I'm curious what you think. Enjoy the weekend and take care of your health!

NEW TIME TODAY, as I just arrived back in Texas. Thank you folks! LIVE #Deprogrammed - 4pm CST. Why did the Hands Off protests make no impact? Why are the photos mostly of old people? How did the Left lose the youth and the plot? And why are Woke Leftists going to be ZERO help in fighting actual fascist or racist ideology? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21mby...

Hey folks, there is no live show today but I’ll be back on Monday at our regular time, 2pm CST! We have had a whirlwind trip and a lot of laughs this week. :) Last night I got to hang with my funny friend @ChrissieMayr in her new studio (!) and talk about the Woke “Right,” being a Trump supporter visiting Europe, and the appeal of con-artists like Tate and the groypers.

Hey Deprogrammed Folks! I’m traveling today so there’s no live show. Thanks for your patience! 🙏
Yesterday I watched this interview by @ministries of RR Reno, author of “Return of the Strong Gods.” I think it’s excellent, and am going to read the book, which my Pastor gave me. Reno’s message, and his use of “postwar consensus” are, I think, sadly being obscured by those with loud voices who seek to twist both the message and the meaning of “postwar consensus.” If you’ve read the book, or if you watch the interview, let me know what you think. I’m looking forward to the book.
If you haven’t read it or haven’t watched the interview, please do! https://youtu.be/Zzy6TDrBVqc
Banana for scale. J/K 😆
