Autry Pruitt, CEO of New Journey PAC, didn’t hold back when evaluating President Joe Biden’s early days in office. On a national news segment, Pruitt raised sharp concerns about Biden’s sweeping executive actions—from canceling the Keystone Pipeline to halting border wall construction—arguing these moves reflect allegiance to Hollywood and legacy media over working Americans.
“He’s not governing for everyday citizens,” Pruitt warned. “He’s signaling to elites.”
The Military, the Media, and Misguided Priorities
Pruitt criticized the Biden administration for instructing the military to “stand down” in the name of combating extremism—calling it political theater that dangerously repurposes the military for ideological ends. He drew attention to the inconsistent treatment of the National Guard, used as props during political crises but marginalized when it mattered most, such as during the BLM riots.
“Progressive extremism is the only extremism I see taking root in the military right now,” Pruitt said, warning that political manipulation of national defense erodes trust and functionality.
Executive Orders and the Rise of Soft Dictatorship
Pruitt argued that Biden’s reliance on executive orders over legislation echoes Barack Obama’s infamous “pen and phone” governance. The danger, he said, is not just immediate—it’s generational. Future presidents, Democrat or Republican, may bypass Congress entirely if Biden’s precedent goes unchallenged.
“This isn’t just about Biden—it’s laying the groundwork for unchecked executive power,” Pruitt said. “What happens when Kamala takes the reins?”
Equity vs. Equality: A False Promise?
Pruitt also dismantled the administration’s obsession with “equity” over equality. He challenged the logic of hiring or admitting people based on identity over merit, warning it will result in deeper institutional dysfunction—from universities to boardrooms.
“You can’t paper over incompetence with identity politics,” he said. “Eventually, the rubber meets the road.”
School Closures and Educational Inequality
Pruitt concluded with one of the most pressing concerns: the educational collapse during the COVID-19 lockdowns. With millions of public school students—especially from lower- and middle-income families—left behind, Pruitt called for school choice as a path forward.
“Let the dollars follow the student,” he urged. “If a parent wants to move their child to a better school, they should be able to take the federal money with them.”
He warned that the long-term damage to children—especially those in New York and other locked-down cities—will be felt for years, if not decades.
