Dennis Prager and a co-host break down a CIA recruitment ad featuring a woman describing her identity, achievements, and anxiety disorder. Prager mocks the ad's language as sounding like a college pitch for Hofstra, ridiculing phrases like "made perfect" and "cisgender millennial" while attacking the CIA as corrupt.
Is there something wrong with you if you think this is a— this shows you that we should have faith in the CIA? The CIA is actually not— at least at the top, is so corrupt that it's not merely a matter of utter and total incompetence. It is a matter of— it might be an arm of the Democratic Party now, which is— this is police state type stuff. I never thought I would talk like this in my life. Never. America veering toward a police state. See what happened to Rudy Giuliani? You don't think that that's reminiscent of a police state? Whatever you think of Rudy Giuliani, or the people still in prison from July 16th— well, not July 16th, from, uh, June. June. What was it? June. What was the day of the, uh, the riot at the Capitol. January 6th. January what? 6th. January 6th, right. In solitary confinement in some cases while they're releasing murderers and rapists by the scores in LA and other places with woke district attorneys. So I want you to know the good news is that at least on Twitter There are more than 3 million views of this recruiting commercial by the CIA. I'm going to play it for you. It shows a woman walking through the halls of the CIA. Take it away, Sean. Well—
When I was 17, I quoted Zora Neale Hurston's "How It Feels to Be Colored Me" in my college application essay. The line that spoke to me stated simply, "I am not tragically colored. There is no sorrow dammed up in my soul nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all." At 17, I had no idea what life would bring, but Zora's sentiment articulated so beautifully how I felt as a daughter of immigrants then and now. Nothing about me was or is tragic. I am perfectly made. I can wax eloquent on complex legal issues in English while also belting Guayaquil de Mis Amores in Spanish. I can change a diaper with one hand and console a crying toddler with the other.
Okay, let's hold up there for a second. So if I showed this to you, what would you think it was an ad for or a message for? Isn't that interesting? It's a very important question. I, I would just think basically it was a celebration of this woman's life, and I don't know what else it would— or, or if it ended with, and that's why I went to college and so should you. Yeah, you were a college recruiting— yeah, college recruit. By the way, some of the language is so odd to me, and I'm not blaming this woman, but I was made perfect. Who walks around thinking they were made perfect? I didn't think I was made perfect as a kid because my mother took me to the husky section in the boys' clothing store. I knew I was imperfect from a very early age. Okay, that's what it is. It looks like a recruit. So, and you, uh, who can do all this while being a person of color— a woman, of course, a woman of color— you belong at Hofstra University. Okay, continue.
I'm a woman of color. I am a mom. I am a cisgender millennial who's been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.
Okay, this one, that's a key point there. I'm a cisgender millennial who has been diagnosed with what? What was the word? General anxiety disorder.
I am a cisgender millennial who's been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.
Okay, hold on, hold it there. When do I do this? Okay, I'll— I'm gonna— I gotta remember that. Cisgender millennial With generalized anxiety disorder. And I do belong at Hofstra.
