Key Insights

Why is DEI being targeted in the federal government?

DEI is being targeted because it promotes racial and gender discrimination, elevates unqualified individuals, and wastes taxpayer resources on useless programs. Voters are increasingly opposed to these policies.

What does the Dismantle DEI Act of 2024 propose?

The Act proposes to undo all of Biden's DEI executive orders, shut down DEI offices in federal agencies, and bar any federal employee from discriminating based on race, sex, or national origin.

Why do Democrats support DEI policies?

Democrats support DEI because they believe racial animosity and guilt can be leveraged for political gain. They argue that DEI programs remedy past discrimination and improve company performance, though evidence for the latter is questionable.

How did Jasmine Crockett's arguments in favor of DEI fare?

Jasmine Crockett's arguments were widely criticized as illogical and irrelevant, comparing diverse human beings to low-quality food items and misinterpreting financial concepts. Her defense of DEI was seen as baseless and unconvincing.

What was the reaction to Jaguar's woke ad campaign?

Jaguar's ad campaign was met with widespread mockery and backlash. The ad featured no cars and instead showcased a cross-dressing routine, leading to tens of thousands of negative comments and a significant loss of brand credibility.

Shownotes Transcript

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, there was a hearing in Congress yesterday to debate a Republican bill that would abolish DEI in the federal government. Various Democrat lawmakers presented their best arguments for keeping DEI intact—and their best arguments are extremely stupid. Also, the trans lawmaker in Congress backs down and admits defeat in the bathroom fight. And Jaguar puts out the most unintentionally hilarious woke ad we've maybe ever seen.
