What does DEI mean in this context?
voice-verified
Hiring practices.
voice-verified
Oh, hiring people to reflect the community.
voice-verified
But if there's no quota, I mean, if you want to have programs on that reflect what you think people want more of, maybe more religious programming, more patriotic programming, then why wouldn't a minority community have a right to have more correspondents reflect their views?
voice-verified
That's DEI in a nutshell, right?
voice-verified
What is wrong with giving people who have been kept out of a system an opportunity to enter it?
voice-verified
But you're talking about classes of programming that reflect the interests of individuals.
voice-verified
Who makes those programs?
voice-verified
Who makes the evangelical programs but evangelicals?
voice-verified
Who makes the programs that you feel are not being produced now but people who reflect or embrace those identities?
voice-verified
That's what DEI is for.
voice-verified
So you would feel differently about it, leaving quotas aside, if it were people other than the ones that have in the past been encouraged to enter a system from which they were excluded that weren't evangelical or rural.
voice-verified
But when the government goes after DEI hires, they're not interested in the individual.
voice-verified
They're just interested in their race.
voice-verified
We've seen highly qualified black and female people in the military just get summarily fired for no reason whatsoever.
voice-verified
Just because the assumption was they were hired because of DEI.
voice-verified
And so we went off on a little bit of a detour.
voice-verified
It's okay.
voice-verified
You know, just getting back to the question of who's next on the list.
voice-verified
Well, we'll see.
