2 chapters across the catalog

Donald Trump announces an executive order making English the official language of the United States and the restoration of the name Mount McKinley for the Alaskan peak. He declares an end to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies across the federal government and private sector, advocating for merit-based hiring. Trump credits the Supreme Court for supporting the return to competence-based promotion in the workforce.

Representative Jasmine Crockett is criticized for her comments during a House committee hearing regarding the history of oppression and the abolition of DEI programs. The segment disputes Crockett's claims about white men never facing oppression, citing historical examples of Christian persecution and the deaths of millions under communist regimes. The host and guest Nick Sorter argue that merit-based hiring is being unfairly characterized as controversial by the left.
