Ethan Peck & Pedro Israel Orta on The Pelle Neroth Taylor Show - 11 April 2024

GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Ethan Peck is an associate for the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project, the conservative movement’s only full-service shareholder activism and education program. Prior to pursuing a career in political advocacy, Ethan worked as an audio engineer and music producer in New York, as well as an editor for the Jerusalem Post in Jerusalem. He credits both experiences as instrumental to his eventual departure from the left.

Ethan is well-versed in woke ideology and the social justice mindset, and is hopeful that traditional American values can be communicated effectively across the aisle. He holds a Master’s Degree in Counter-Terrorism from the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel.

GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Pedro Israel Orta is a Miami-born son of Cuban immigrants who fled the tyranny of Fidel Castro's communism. He brings his 18-year experience as a Central Intelligence Agency veteran to this memoir, having served in war-torn regions like Iraq, Afghanistan, and another undisclosed location in the Middle East, and at the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community, working on whistleblower issues. Orta's bravery in exposing abuses of power led to his own retribution and termination despite earning eight Exceptional Performance Awards for his contributions to U.S. national security—mostly in counterterrorism operations.
