Today on The Matt Walsh Show, we'll do a deeper dive into the DEI program in the Los Angeles Fire Department. The left insists that it has nothing to do with the catastrophe unfolding in LA right now, but of course they're lying. Also, how many of these fires are being intentionally set? We'll talk about that. And an OnlyFans hooker films herself propositioning a fast food worker, humiliating herself in the process. Speaking of humiliating herself, Meghan Markle is back again with a new TV show. The audience reception has been, shall we say, unenthused. We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show. Just a reminder that all of us at Daily Wire will be live as DW goes to D.C.

Did you study these things in school? Probably not, or even if you did, maybe it's time for a refresher. Time and technology have changed a lot of things, but they have not changed basic fundamental truths about the world and our place in it. That's why I'm so excited that Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses on the most important and enduring subject. You can learn about the works of C.S. Lewis, the stories in the book of Genesis, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or the history of the ancient Christian church with Hillsdale College's online courses. all available for free. That's right, for free. I personally recommend you sign up for Marxism, Socialism, and Communism. This brand new online course is unlike anything Hillsdale has produced before.
Over the course of six documentary-style episodes, you'll hear from Hillsdale professors of history, politics, and economics. As I look at Marx's life and writings, the misery and brutality in the Soviet Union and the atrocities of communist China, you'll explore how many ideas in American politics today are rooted in Marxism and also how they differ from Marxist thoughts as well. It's vital that we take these ideas and historical figures seriously so that we can see the injustice and evil inherent in them and are better equipped to defeat it. Start your free course, Marxism, Socialism, and Communism today, right now. You can go to hillsdale.edu slash Walsh to start. It's free, easy to get started. That's hillsdale.edu slash Walsh to start. Hillsdale.edu slash Walsh.
There's now a very noticeable pattern that plays out every time we witness a colossal failure on the national stage. It happened after the Secret Service allowed Donald Trump to get shot in the head in Pennsylvania. It happened after Harvard's president was exposed for plagiarism, after Kamala Harris lost the presidential election. And here's how it usually goes. Conservatives pointed out that DEI was involved in some way, and then everyone on the left acted with shock and indignation at the mere suggestion that DEI might have backfired. DEI, they tell us, is an essential mandate that always adds value. It's vital to every organization. And then in the same breath, they tell us the DEI can't possibly be related to any failure by any organization or government agency that practices DEI. In other words, DEI is either critically important, fundamentally important, or not important at all, depending on how things are going.
As entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles are destroyed by fires, once again, we're seeing this very familiar pattern play out. As we talked about yesterday, conservatives have pointed out, rightly, that DEI has infected every aspect of the government of Los Angeles, in particular its fire department. And in response, as they usually do, the left has insisted that DEI actually has nothing whatsoever to do with the fires or the disastrous response to them. And they're wagging their fingers at anyone who suggests otherwise because things have gone wrong. Therefore, DEI is now irrelevant. That's the way it goes.
