Join us at 1pm CST on Tuesday, June 4th in the LIVE CHAT for the #Deprogrammed premiere of Keri Smith's conversation with Adam, from the popular Vets Talkin channel. We talk about the incursion of social justice (woke) ideology into the military, and the repercussions on the morale, unity and effectiveness of our armed forces. Adam joined the Army straight out of high school in 2000. 9/11 happened his first year in. He went to Iraq with the invasion in 03, went again in 05. Was a ground surveillance systems operator with military intelligence, went in psychological operations after that. Got out in 09. Volunteered with multiple veterans support organizations, opened a security guard company in 2016, trained in executive protection (high level bodyguard), then opted not to follow that career path. After working with the Legion of Memers, he eventually started Vets Talkin, a place for military veterans to talk about politics and pop culture. Follow him at @VetsTalkin on X.

Join us for Keri Smith's #Deprogrammed interview with Brian Graupner of the industrial bands The Gothsicles and Gasoline Invertebrate, and host of Space Couch. Brian went through one of the craziest cancellations in the music industry, which included an intervention, a divorce (in part because he had a "secret" Daily Wire subscription) and the turning on him of many in his audience, replete with cancellations of gigs and more. All because he's willing to talk with people, anyone, who disagrees with him, and listen to a variety of ideas. What he did after was a fiery bit of alchemy that speaks to standing for truth over social pressure. Brian Graupner's "dumb band," as he describes it - The Gothsicles - was more successful than anyone, including himself, ever thought possible. In his own words: What started (and largely stayed) as some skinny nerd from Wisconsin emitting ear-splitting caterwauling comedy music about video games (a novel idea in 2002) and various animals I think are cool over industrial beats and marketing it to crowds that banked on eyeliner and sadness was destined to never find purchase. I mean, I called the thing “The Gothsicles” for goodness sake. Yet somehow, the project remained viable for decades and spanned the globe including (and often headlining) spots at international industrial festivals worldwide (Resistanz in England, Kinetik in Canada, Mechanismus in Seattle, Species in Ireland, all the big ones), European tours and US tours, playing “goth cruises” to the Bahamas and Alaska, along with a headlining spot at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and “gamer” / sci-fi cons coast to coast. Kickstarters for albums were regularly funded in a matter of hours, going on to several times their capacity, and the resulting albums received glowing reviews. I mean, people would write me poems about how I changed their life & stuff. Here’s us in Finland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG4VQDKrnzs&t=14s Here’s a music video about stag beetles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo-OGSt2Hr8 And here’s one about howler monkeys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1vzPq8II7M And this is a fun one about Ice Hockey for the Nintendo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4qCzoQWzoE Then I started branching out! I tried my hand at “serious” music with a project called “Gasoline Invertebrate” and whaddyaknow, it hit #2 on the German Alternative Charts (the “DAC”)! A high school dream come true! I was “canonized” as the model for a card in Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, this card game I’ve been playing forever! Check it out! I started a record label and people loved it! The community built-up therein became a true global family and some of the stuff we put out hit number #1 on bandcamp (fleetingly, but hey, I’ll take it)! We did online festivals and put out some crazy releases (En Ensch of KMFDM, even, whaaaat). And I had 3 podcasts I was doing, all to relative success! And the real kicker was my “show”, Space Couch. It was basically a live Skype call on which people could comment in real time (which was a novel idea before the lockdown). And again, this Space Couch thing got bigger than I would have ever imagined! I interviewed high school heroes and movie directors and published comic book creators and ever bigger bands (Orgy! Combichrist! bonkers!) Made crazy connections! All those are still up at facebook.com/spacecouchshow/videos, actually. And then I did a reciprocal interview for someone who had me on her show and it all went away over a weekend. People had found she’d made some tweets critical of the trans community and told me not to have her on and I did anyway ‘cause I think it’s okay to talk to people. I don’t agree with gender ideology anyway, but it’s not like I was going around making that my thing. People went nuts. Like BONKERS. I was cancelled super duper hard. Smash cut to the present and I just put out a new Gasoline Invertebrate album and I talk about this a lot (again with MoxieDame, the person that made everyone so mad) on her show and I think her intro really captures it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh0kUcq3gJk My wife left me because I quietly listened to the Daily Wire. My parents turned on me. I lost all my friends. I got dropped from every gig (including the big fancy international ones) I had lined up. I was banned from local clubs and had to move states. People were smashing my CDs and sending me pictures. All ‘cause I talked to someone on the internet for 30 minutes about old video games. Then I put out this new Gasoline album and people just went insane, especially over the track “Leftism Is Bad”: https://gasolineinvertebrate.bandcamp.com/album/crash-and-burn-and-burn-and-burn New single, too: https://gasolineinvertebrate.bandcamp.com/track/being-called-transphobic

On May 2nd, 2024, the Austin City Council considered and shamefully passed a toothless resolution in which they stated they intended to flout State Law and to support sterilization and mutilation of children. These were my remarks: "Good afternoon. My name is Keri Smith and I live in the great state of Texas. One of the purposes of law is to protect the most vulnerable among us from harm. As a society, we have ALWAYS recognized that children are not developmentally the same as adults. As such, our laws do not allow children to “consent” to sex with adults, to drinking, to smoking, to getting a tattoo, to driving a car or buying a gun. But somehow in the past few years, we have all collectively lost our minds and decided that children are capable of consenting to sterilizing themselves for life and to having their breasts and genitals cut off and mutilated. I encourage you to read and listen to ALL of the leaked WPATH files, where where the very doctors who are chemically castrating and genitally mutilating children are caught ON VIDEO admitting that these children are not capable of understanding what they are “consenting” to. The president of WPATH, Marci Bowers, is even on video admitting that 100% of little boys in Tanner Stage Two - that’s around age 11 - who they’ve given puberty blockers to are never able to achieve orgasm in adulthood. That’s 100%. You can watch her say this on camera. Chemically castrating puberty blockers are not reversible! I encourage you to listen to the voices of the mutilated children, some of whom were here today, voices of people like Chloe Cole and Layla Jane - both who had double mastectomies when they were children - who are now in young adulthood suing the butchers who did this to them when they were kids. Every single country that has done a systematic medical review of the evidence has banned this barbarism against children. And we are going to follow in the footsteps of progressive countries like the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland and we’re gonna ban it in all 50 states here in the US. The Hippocratic Oath for doctors says to FIRST DO NO HARM. It is a LIE that sterilizing and mutilating children does no harm. In the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, “Let the lie come into the world. Let it even prosper. But not through me.” I urge the Austin City Council not to be on the wrong side of history on this - the greatest medical scandal and atrocity against children in our lifetime. Let the lie come into the world. Let it even prosper. But not through Texas."

Four decades of racist discrimination in college admissions was struck down by the Supreme Court last year in a case involving Harvard and UNC.

Join us for a LIVE #KerfefeBreak with Keri Smith on #Deprogrammed on Monday, February 5th at 1pm CST while we break down what exactly equity and DEI mean. How do they look in the workplace and academia? And what does it say about a society to openly embrace them?

Join us on Friday, October 27th at 1pm CDT for a LIVE #KerfefeBreak on Deprogrammed with Keri Smith. We'll be discussing the incursion of dangerous Social Justice (Woke) ideology into Georgetown, TX, through the lens of peacefully protesting the first "Pride" block party last night. The event was held at the Georgetown Public Library, featured a sermon on "queering" Christianity by "non-binary" Pastor Milo Grant, and hosted by Georgetown PRIDE and the Southwestern University Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Center. Despite what you may assume - there were several fruitful conversations where people found common ground (as well as some of the more expected angry yelling and vitriol we've all come to expect). You might be surprised who agreed and on what! We're also going to talk about ADVICE for attending an event where there will be protestors, or where you yourself are a protestor. If you're a parent concerned about the spread of gender ideology and the sterilization and surgical mutilation of minors, please join us. Peace.
