Is DEI fixing higher education – or breaking it? Ravi explores this question with New York Times journalist Nick Confessore and University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker, using Michigan as a case study to better understand what happens when a university's mission collides with ideology.  Nick shares more about his investigative reporting on how diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have grown into sprawling bureaucracies and sparked tensions over free expression, identity, and academic priorities. Jordan then joins Ravi to share his personal experience as a public official under attack amid escalating campus activism, how DEI programs have struggled to meet the moment in polarized times and what these fault lines suggest about the future of higher education.

Trump Calls It Treason. Responding to a reporter's loaded question, President Trump stuns the Beltway by outlining the treasonous activities of SpyGate plotters who "unsuccessfully tried to take down the wrong person." We review the ensuing meltdown from sundry MSM personages, who complain wildly despite their past two years accusing Trump of "collusion" with Russia. Faux Establishment scholar Jon Meacham offers a fact-free discourse on Monarchy, complete with charges of McCarthyism. We review the Deep State's arguments against Declassification, which turn out to be surprisingly weak. Oh yes, they're scared now. The NYT's Maggie Haberman sounds uncharacteristically chastened, while the NYT's Nick Confessore appears altogether aghast. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough goes for the "autocrat" accusation while calling for the impeachment of AG Barr. Looks like they're gonna go down swinging. So how high does it all go? Quoting John Lennon, we suggest "the toppermmost of the poppermost." As in, all the way. Meanwhile, Devin Nunes summarizes the IC's extreme abuses of power, having used their tools designed for terrorists against candidate and President Donald Trump. Plus, vignettes on Goethe and The Founders. With Listener Calls & Music via Muse, the Rolling Stones and Porter Wagoner.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
