You guys are making a big difference.
And I'm so glad you're carrying on Scott's legacy by continuing this and continuing to meet together and sip together.
And I'll be tuning in sometimes.
You know, that's what I did with Scott.
You know, unfortunately, with four kids and a farm and all of the projects we're doing, I don't get to do it every day.
But it is...
If I'm going to watch something in the morning, it's going to be this, just like it was with Scott.
The fact that everybody has some sort of connection to McDonald's means that when you see them do something, it feels like there's some extra power behind it.
McDonald's is a huge win because obviously when you look out at the marketplace in the world, there's certain brands that are just so noticeable. Everybody knows what it is and they have a feeling associated to it. You've got these other corporations out there that are trying to decide what they're going to do next.
And the more we get these cultural icon brands to change, the more likely it is that other companies change.
This election and before it was really the beginning of an awakening among the silent majority that being a silent majority is actually kind of a stupid thing to do. You need to be a majority that speaks up or else you cede ground to this tiny minority of people who are frankly just really crazy Marxists.
I think what you're going to see is companies go into multiple boxes. One will be a total elimination of DEI and the other box will be an attempt to try to save it by renaming it and things along those lines. But we're going to sniff that out and we are going to make things very difficult for companies to do that.
normal everyday people, they're very acutely aware of their buying power and how they can vote with their dollar now. And so we've made that point very clear to these companies at this point where many companies just fear being next and they don't want to be next. So I think we're going to continue to see a cascade of these policies being removed from major companies.
So there have been several high-profile organizations that have recently backed off of DEI. The latest is Walmart. Just last week, that company made a number of different pledges. It said that it was going to stop giving a preference to suppliers on the basis of race and sex. It also said that it would ensure that transgender products were not marketed to children on its website.
And they even said they would stop funding the Center for Racial Equity, Walmart made the announcement following a campaign from activist Robbie Starbuck, who has also led successful anti-DEI campaigns against Tractor Supply, Home Depot, and other name brand companies. Starbuck spoke to Morning Wire about his strategy.
So some of these programs might actually be against the law. A series of Daily Wire investigations have documented professional development programs, internships, and job postings that discriminate against white and sometimes against Asian applicants in the name of DEI.
In some of those cases, legal experts have actually said that these programs are blatantly illegal, and the incoming Trump administration, particularly his attorney general, could take action against these discriminatory DEI programs. I talked with David Pivtrack.
He's a lawyer who has active lawsuits against American Express, which allegedly discriminated against white men through its DEI policies. He told me that, quote, the DOJ has a panoply of remedies it can seek to address the discrimination that results from these DEI programs.
The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division could launch investigations to obtain, quote, a wide variety of a company's internal data and documents or file lawsuits to, quote, take depositions of high-level executives and even the CEO or board of directors if they were directly involved in implementing these DEI programs.
But there's also even more severe measures that the DOJ could take as well. If the Justice Department issued a consent decree, it would allow the agency to, quote, oversee a company's operations for years to come. And PIV Direct says that this type of action from the DOJ could incentivize companies to drop their DEI programs altogether.
