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.

They had it where the answers you wanted to give were basically the ones that would make it more likely you were a diverse candidate as it were. So they would say, how many sports did you play in high school? And if you played a lot of sports in high school, you got a better score on this questionnaire. What does playing sports in high school have to do with being an air traffic controller?

Nothing. But it has a lot to do with hitting diversity quotas. And infamously what they would do is they would ask you what your worst subject in high school was. And if you said science was your worst subject, you got a better score on this quiz. So it would reward you for having science as your worst grade in high school. And it was all bizarre stuff like this.

And there were other crazy things, too. There was an employee at the FAA. I forget his name, so I don't want to go off the top of my head. But an employee at the FAA who was also involved in an affinity group for black aviation employees. He sent out an email that was like, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, everyone.

Here are some buzzwords you should include in your resume to make sure it gets picked out by our automatic sorter. By the way, don't share this with people who aren't minorities or women because we don't want too much competition. I'm not making this up. This all happened 100%. So did this actually cause what happened yesterday? Actually, almost certainly not, is my guess.

It would be very difficult to draw a direct line. But what's so true with Trump all the time is Trump has that power to get at the big picture of what's going on. And what everyone's asking is, okay, why did we suddenly have the worst airplane crash in America in 20 years?

Well, we should at least be talking about the fact that we have had a systematic effort for years under two Democrat presidents and under, frankly, some of it continued under Trump because these are the bureaucrats and they're all left wing. These people have done a systematic effort to downplay merit so that they can just hire people based on bogus BS diversity quota factors.

And then they get mad at us when we say, gee, when you hire people based merely on... skin color and not their ability it makes me nervous to go on a plane and they're like how can you say that how can charlie kirk do that why is he sowing distrust of our of our beautiful planes that are falling out of the sky as we speak oh man how dare you how dare he have has charlie kirk no honor

What's fascinating to me and stands out to me is I think if this were happening in 2017, the lead shrieking hysterics.

all night on every cable channel or at least you know cnn msmc and then the banners on new york times and all that it would be on trump's remarks where they would just be like trump goes on on hinged rant against minorities and jobs or something like that it's much more muted this time like i can go you go to cnn and their angle is just they have both black boxes found yes and then they just have in a smaller article to the left trump jumps right to the blame game over deadly mid-air collision like

That's a pretty muted way of putting it where they're just, they're doing the, Oh, he's, he's going too quickly. It's like the inverted version, you know, and if there's like a tragedy, like a, like a mass shooting where they would say, we can't talk about this. No way. Yeah. But just flipped around now, basically where there's, he's going too quickly.
