But I think the correct focus should be increase our level of knowledge as much as possible as opposed to playing whack-a-mole where we decide, oh, actually, like, Red 40 is the thing that's going to kill all of us, so ban it immediately. Yeah. I mean, if they want to, I'm sure they will. But I don't think it's going to be the kill shot that makes us all healthy.

Why were you in Canada?

Why were you in Canada?

Yeah, exactly, Charlie. Exactly. It's been almost exactly one year since we got a lot of attention because we talked about our feelings about pilots. And then I believe Joy Reid today got very angry. And I can't remember my name. I think it was Joy Reid. She was bashing Charlie. She's like, President Trump is literally listening to Charlie Kirk.

What Trump was doing with the press today, he was doing one of his classic Trump free association things where he was just like, you know, they've been talking to me about this. We've heard about this. They have this DEI in the federal government, you know, in the air traffic controllers. And it's all stuff that's real. Now, did it have to do with what happened today? The answer is we don't know.

It has to be investigated. We will be investigating it in the days and weeks to come.

maybe it will maybe it won't but what's natural and very very true is there is a ton of worrisome dei stuff that has happened in the piloting space and the air traffic control space and that deserves attention because it's sort of it's the perfect encapsulation of how insane the ideology is like i think a lot of people there are people out there who i think would be okay with

basically DEI reasoning like okay yeah we can give preferences for the sake of diversity because like we're just we're just hiring janitors right or we're hiring this stuff it doesn't really matter and you have to tell people no like we're actually doing this for life and death situations we are changing the rules to lower standards and focus on diversity over ability in things where if you screw it up you will die that's why we've talked about it with medical school admissions because they've done it there

But they've also been doing it for a decade at this point in stuff related to air transportation. So we were tweeting about this today. We've talked about it on this show before. We've had guests on your show, Charlie. Like, for example, the Obama, the Obama.

The air traffic controller thing, it's one of those things where once you start describing it, you get weird looks because it so much overwhelms people's understanding of how things should be that they're just like creeped out. They reject the knowledge because this is all true. This goes back to Obama.

The Obama administration, what they did is... We had an old meritocratic system where it was basically you went to an air traffic trainer program that was attached to colleges, and then you passed this test, and then you could become an air traffic controller. And... What they did is they basically said, we're going to massively downplay this skill test of air traffic controller knowledge.

And instead, we're going to adopt this biographical questionnaire is what they called it. And they made this a massive part of hiring. And so biographical questionnaire, it's literally they'd ask you questions about your life to sift your resume. And then what they did is instead of wanting the answers that would indicate capability, I'm not making this up. This is all totally real.
