A federal appeals court has delivered a legal victory to President Donald Trump's administration, allowing it to move forward with executive orders banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs across federal agencies and among government contractors. The plaintiffs argued that Trump's orders improperly directed federal agencies to eliminate DEI programs, required contractors and grant recipients to certify they do not operate such initiatives and instructed agencies to work with the Justice Department to deter and investigate DEI-related policies in the private sector.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

More To The Story: Just a few years ago, historian and activist Ibram X. Kendi seemed to be everywhere. At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, he became one of the leading voices on racism in America—and particularly what he described as antiracism. But over the last few years, as a backlash grew against the BLM movement, Kendi also came under attack. His ideas urging people to be actively antiracist were often the target of conservative critics fighting against DEI policies and the teaching of critical race theory. Kendi was also accused of mismanaging an antiracism center at Boston University, which laid off much of its staff before closing last year (BU cleared Kendi of financial mismanagement.) On this week's More To The Story, Kendi responds to the criticism he faced at BU and argues that the Trump administration's policies are harming both white and Black Americans.This is an update of an episode that originally aired in July 2025.Producer: Josh Sanburn, with help from Zulema Cobb and Julia Haney | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: Black in the Sunshine State (Reveal)Read: I'm Racist.

Savage tackles "the big lie," saying truth is harder to find because lying is normalized and people have lost the ability to reason. He references Hitler-era propaganda tactics  and argues modern media operates as propaganda, while toxic "airs, waters, and places" fuel public confusion and health decline. Savage credits his immigrant father for teaching him to think independently by comparing multiple news sources, then criticizes collapsing education standards and DEI-driven admissions. He scans current headlines—NYC schools and taxes, Mexico cartel violence, Trump's upcoming State of the Union, Epstein depravity, birth-rate collapse, public Islam displays in Times Square, crime, and Gavin Newsom's SAT comments—framing them as examples of narrative manipulation. He ends with a Tahoe avalanche account blaming risky route choices and closes by warning that health and supplements are also saturated with "big lies," urging listeners to think for themselves.   Right now, Mizzen & Main is offering our listeners 20% off your first purchase at mizzenandmain.com, promo code SAVAGE20.   Get Your Free Gold & Silver Info Guide at https://reports.goldencrestmetals.com/savagegold

DEI is facing unprecedented legal and cultural pushback. Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow, founders of NYU Law's Meltzer Center, argue it's time for a strategic shift: swap the 'E' in DEI for Equality. They join Mike to discuss their new book, How Equality Wins, explaining why mandatory diversity statements often lead to "preference falsification," the importance of supporting dissent, and why the movement must expand its tent to include the working class by simply going "where the pain is." Plus, we're awaiting Chief Justice's Facial expressions during the State of the Union.  And in the spiel, why your daily anxiety has become the ultimate consumer product.

Send a textFor years, organizations have poured millions into DEI training.And yet most employees still report discrimination. Promotion gaps persist. Trust remains uneven.So what's going on?In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., I sit down with Lily Zheng — strategist and author of Fixing Fairness — to interrogate a hard truth: much of what we call DEI doesn't work. Not because fairness is unpopular. Not because inclusion is misguided. But because we keep trying to fix people instead of fixing systems.Lily introduces the FAIR framework — Fairness, Access, Inclusion, and Representation — and argues that the real leverage isn't in workshops. It's in incentives, evaluation criteria, hiring processes, and executive accountability.We explore:Why standalone DEI training can backfireThe “missing stair” metaphor — and how organizations normalize dysfunctionThe Cobra Effect of poorly designed diversity incentivesWhy representation is ultimately about trust, not opticsWhat meritocracy gets wrong about itselfAnd why rebranding DEI won't solve structural problemsAt a moment when DEI faces political backlash and corporate retrenchment, Lily makes a counterintuitive claim: the future of workplace inclusion will be more rigorous, more measured, and more accountable — not less.This is a systems conversation.Not about slogans. Not about performative commitments. About incentives, power, and what actually moves outcomes.If you care about leadership, governance, and the second-order effects of institutional design, this episode will challenge you.

The Trump Administration challenges based on DEI continue. Join David Fortney and Nita Beecher as they discuss the latest developments, including the FTC letter warning 42 law firms about participating in the Mansfield Certification program; the EEOC's subpoena enforcement litigation filed against several large employers challenging their failure to provide detailed information on DEI programs; and, DOJ's litigation claims against state of Minnesota's affirmative action requirements. Contact Fortney & Scott: Tweet us at @fortneyscott Follow us on LinkedIn Email us at info@fortneyscott.com Thank you for listening! https://www.fortneyscott.com/

Sylvester shares insights into women's historical and modern leadership in activism, contrasting liberal-driven efforts like Black Lives Matter, DEI initiatives, and anti-ICE protests with conservative pushes for school choice and pro-life advocacy. Discover how women have been the driving force behind these movements—for better or worse—and what it means for America's future.

Today, Steve is in conversation with Jaya Baloo, COO at Aisle. One of the world's leading experts on quantum technology and cybersecurity, Jaya shares what the future of quantum computing looks like and what businesses can do to prepare for a quantum-prevalent world. She also offers her view of how cyber and quantum technology will co-evolve in the next 10 to 20 years. Key Takeaways: You should have started preparing for quantum yesterday. Cybersecurity stands out among areas of quantum as a space where quantum may first be used by governments to attack adversaries. More diversity is needed in quantum development.  Tune in to hear more about: How to begin your journey to quantum-ready today (8:17) How diversity can shape responsible development of quantum (13:48) Jaya Baloo's view on quantum in 10-20 years (15:58) Standout Quotes: “ Cybersecurity is something really special here because unfortunately we do not have only from quantum, the same ability to protect as we have to attack. And I worry that the first application of these technologies beyond the sensors, the first real application from governments will be that offensive use to attack our current cryptographic stack.” - Jaya Baloo “I think in general, especially now with the whole onslaught against everything DEI, I actually think it's such a shame to waste time on excluding anyone from anything. We really need the best skillset we can possibly get. And what you see is that, especially in areas like quantum, there's not enough diversity.” - Jaya Baloo “So what I really think that we need to think about is how do we democratize, as much as possible, access to our defense against a potential quantum threat, and how do we democratize the availability of quantum computing in order to benefit all of humanity?” - Jaya Baloo Read the transcript of this episodeSubscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcastsConnect with us on LinkedIn and TwitterFrom the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow of NYU Law discuss their book How Equality Wins: A New Vision for an Inclusive America and argue that the path forward for DEI is a shift from "lifting" to "leveling."

Rev. Christopher Zacharias is a powerful example of what it means, as Walt Whitman described, to contain multitudes. It starts with his religious calling and belief in engaging across faith traditions to advance equity and justice in communities where they have been denied. He uses his voice to call out policy decisions and corporate practices that harm communities of color and identifies the action steps needed to produce solutions. Rev. Zacharias is grounded in his position as Senior Pastor of the John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church in Washington DC, an historic pillar of America's civil rights movement. On this episode of Power Station I speak with Rev. Zacharias about his interconnected roles as Executive Director of Interfaith Action for Human Rights, whose legislative campaigns are designed to stop the overuse of solitary confinement in prisons within DC, Maryland and Virginia and his leadership of Boycott Target DC, a coalition organized in response to Target's rejection of its DEI programs and $2.5B commitment to Black businesses after the 2025 election of Donald Trump. Momentum is building for each, and corporate and public leaders are paying attention. Rev. Zacharias invites us all to exercise our passion and purpose.

Some 240 million gallons of raw sewage have been dumped into the Potomac River in Washington, DC thanks to a collapsed pipe and the incompetent DC Water utility.  The leadership of DC Water has shown over and over again that their priority is not doing a good job, but ensuring the "right" color of its employees. DC Water is a woke, DEI failure.  The Chairman of the Board, Unique Morris-Hughes had no utility experience before getting hired.  The DC Water Director, David Gadis, was also involved in the Flint, Michigan water disaster. #BobbyEberle #RawSewage #PotomacDisaster

5 Things: Good Vibes in DEI is now Good Vibes Leadership What's that? I talk about the transition and what that means for the show going forward.  I recently sat in a room full of ERG leaders who were hitting a wall of fatigue. When I asked how they actually started their leadership journey, the answer was universal: They were invited. In this micro-lesson, I'm breaking down why "voluntelling" someone isn't a burden—it's a vote of confidence. We explore the fear of career stalling, the privilege of having the bandwidth to say "yes," and how to handle it when someone chooses to protect their peace. Good Vibes to Go The Power of the Ask: Why personal invitations bridge the gap that job postings can't. The Safety Factor: Understanding why folks are hesitant to step up in the current corporate climate. Respecting the "No": How to view a decline as an act of self-preservation, not a lack of commitment. Your Challenge: Who is one person in your orbit that needs to hear, "I see your potential"?

1 Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.  2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.  3 And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.  4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.  5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, 6 And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.  7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.  8 Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,  9 And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.  10 Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.[8] "shewed him": That is, pointed out to him where each kingdom lay; and set forth in words what was most glorious and admirable in each of them. Or also set before his eyes, as it were in a large map, a lively representation of all those kingdoms. 11 Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him. 1 Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.Tunc Jesus ductus est in desertum a Spiritu, ut tentaretur a diabolo. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.Et cum jejunasset quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit. 3 And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.Et accedens tentator dixit ei : Si Filius Dei es, dic ut lapides isti panes fiant. 4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.Qui respondens dixit : Scriptum est : Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei. 5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,Tunc assumpsit eum diabolus in sanctam civitatem, et statuit eum super pinnaculum templi, 6 And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.et dixit ei : Si Filius Dei es, mitte te deorsum. Scriptum est enim : Quia angelis suis mandavit de te, et in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum. 7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.Ait illi Jesus : Rursum scriptum est : Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum. 8 Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,Iterum assumpsit eum diabolus in montem excelsum valde : et ostendit ei omnia regna mundi, et gloriam eorum, 9 And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.et dixit ei : Haec omnia tibi dabo, si cadens adoraveris me. 10 Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.Tunc dicit ei Jesus : Vade Satana : Scriptum est enim : Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies. 11 Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.Tunc reliquit eum diabolus : et ecce angeli accesserunt, et ministrabant ei.

One of the unmistakable throughlines of the second Trump administration is how it's overhauling policies that directly affect African Americans, most notably by targeting programs and initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI. For journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, it's an attempt to take the country back to an era before the civil rights movement. “A lot of folks are saying, you know, that this administration is rolling back the '60s, but I'm like, he—this administration's actually going back further than that.” The administration is also removing references to Black history from the nation's museums, parks, and schools. When history itself is being erased at the highest levels, who's left to tell us where we've been and where we're headed? This week on Reveal, as part of Black History Month, we're bringing you conversations from our sister podcast, More To The Story, with three prominent Black writers who are fighting to tell a more inclusive American story.

Are Democrats really ready for a comeback—or are we about to revisit the graveyard of their own failed experiments? The so-called “new paradigms” of the Obama-Biden years—open borders, DEI mandates, deficit socialism, disarmament, and radical gender ideology—didn't just falter… they collapsed under their own weight, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

Was the Supreme Court's tariff case Friday a no-lose case for conservatives, as Steve argues in this fast-paced episode, or a serious setback for President Trump? We were just surprised John Yoo had any voice left at all to break it down for us after being on call throughout the day for Fox News, but he saved his best for us. Hint: The fact that the three liberals on the Court wrote concurring opinions disagreeing with Chief Justice Roberts's reasoning behind the decision suggests some useful mischief at work in the decision. The second half of this episode turns briefly to whether the "vibe shift" against wokism is really taking place, with caveats about whether it will survive Trump's presidency, or be reversed by the next Democrat who lies their way into the White House. Not only is the Wokerati engaging in "massive resistance" to steps to end government-sponsored racism and human nature-denying trans-axels, but some Democrats are darkly threatening retribution for people and institutions that are abandoning DEI and other wokist totems right now.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into significant developments that are shaping the political landscape in America. The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down President Trump's initial attempts to impose tariffs, a ruling that may pave the way for future efforts. John Solomon discusses the implications of this decision and highlights potential legal avenues that Trump could explore moving forward.Additionally, we reveal a groundbreaking story from Just the News regarding the CIA's unprecedented retraction of 19 intelligence reports deemed politically biased. Solomon examines the ramifications of this acknowledgment and the potential effects of 'wokeism' within the intelligence community, which has been linked to major political scandals over the past few administrations.Joining the conversation is Congressman Randy Weber from Texas, who brings his unique insights into the current political climate. In the second segment, former U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins discusses the weaponization of intelligence and law enforcement, emphasizing the importance of integrity in these institutions. Finally, undercover journalist Adam Guillette shares his findings on the ongoing defiance against DEI bans in schools, offering fresh examples of how administrators are circumventing these regulations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Supreme Court just ruled that the cornerstone of the president's tariff policy is illegal. It says Donald Trump can't impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. U.S. consumers and businesses have been shouldering nearly 90% of the cost of all import taxes, and some businesses are vowing to go to court to get a refund. Also on the show: weaker-than-expected GDP growth, DEI's rebrand, and potential federal regulation for driverless cars.

1. Democratic Candidates Struggle on Foreign Policy At the Munich Security Conference, AOC, Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom are portrayed as unprepared on major foreign‑policy questions. AOC gives vague and confused answers regarding whether the U.S. should defend Taiwan against China. Whitmer appears unsure when asked what “victory” in Ukraine looks like, deflecting the question to an ambassador. Commentary suggests this reflects a broader weakness in foreign‑policy understanding among potential 2028 Democratic contenders. 2. Criticism of Far‑Left Ideology The intellectual foundation of the far left is hollow compared to past decades. They claim AOC’s comments reflect ideological simplicity, reliance on identity politics, and lack of deep geopolitical knowledge. Suggestion that cultural Marxism and DEI-style frameworks have replaced rigorous foreign‑policy thought. 3. AOC’s Israel Comments AOC is criticized for saying U.S. aid to Israel should be conditioned and alleging Israel committed “genocide” in Gaza. The hosts argue her position is ideologically driven and historically insensitive, especially when stated in Germany. They also claim Hamas statements contradict the genocide narrative. 4. Predictions About 2028 Politics: AOC will likely run for president. Chuck Schumer may encourage her to do so to avoid competing with her for Senate. If AOC runs, Mondaire Jones / Mondami (context suggests a progressive challenger) could run for Schumer’s Senate seat. 5. Obama’s Recent Commentary Barack Obama is criticized for: Calling certain ICE actions “rogue behavior.” Comparing Republican messaging to demagoguery while presenting Democrats as unifying. Hosts claim Obama is historically partisan and argue many current Democratic positions stem from his ideological influence. 6. Claims That Democrats Are Anti‑Law‑Enforcement Gavin Newsom is accused of comparing American law enforcement to “secret police.” The hosts argue Democrats are reviving rhetoric similar to segregation‑era resistance to federal authority. 7. U.S. Foreign Policy Under Obama and Biden Allegations that Obama and Biden’s foreign policy empowered Iran and weakened global deterrence. Claim that U.S. ambiguity over Taiwan is mishandled by the left. 8. Potomac River Sewage Issue Over 1 billion gallons of wastewater spilled into the Potomac. Washington, DC officials say repairs will take up to nine months, criticized as incompetence in government management. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
