The Matt Walsh Show
Ep. 1540 - Girlbossing the Airline Industry… Straight Into the Ground
20 Feb 2025
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the airline that just flipped upside down on a runway in Toronto has been obsessed with DEI for many years. They seem to have been more focused on “girl power” than on keeping their planes in the sky. Also, the Trump administration might ban food stamp recipients from using taxpayer money to buy junk food. Why isn’t that already the policy? The mayor of Los Angeles says she needs to investigate to figure out why she decided to leave for Africa right before the wildfires broke out. And a new debate is raging on social media: is it sexist for a dad to take just his son on a guy’s trip? The internet says yes. And the internet is wrong again.

Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the airline that just flipped upside down on a runway in Toronto has been obsessed with DEI for many years. They seem to be more focused on girl power than on keeping their planes in the sky. Also, the Trump administration might ban food stamp recipients from using taxpayer money to buy junk food. Why isn't that already the policy?
The mayor of Los Angeles says she needs to investigate to figure out why she decided to leave for Africa right before the wildfires broke out. And a new debate is raging on social media. Is it sexist for a dad to take just his son on a guy's trip The internet says yes, and the internet is, of course, wrong again. We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.

You know, it's not easy to find a lot of people who are willing to go back and revisit the early days of Barack Obama's presidency. Conservatives don't want to relive the whole nightmare for obvious reasons. And for their part, Democrats would rather move on, too. They don't particularly want to dwell on Obama's Russian reset, for example, where he told us that Putin wasn't really a bad guy.
That kind of thinking isn't exactly compatible with Democrats' current narrative. Nor are Democrats interested in reminding everyone of Obama's promises to lower health care costs or his promise to close Guantanamo Bay or his promise to stop the weather from changing. None of that happened and so on.
So if there's bipartisan agreement on anything, it's that Obama's presidency isn't worth talking about anymore. But there is one moment. from the early Obama years that has suddenly become relevant again. And I'm talking about the crash of a Colgan Air passenger plane, which was flying under the brand name of Continental Airlines.
The crash occurred in February of 2009, just a month after Obama's inauguration. It was the fourth in a string of crashes involving regional airliners from 2005 to 2009. 50 people died, including one person on the ground. And an investigation revealed that the pilots, one man and one woman, were overworked and underpaid. They were also objectively bad pilots, at least on that particular night.
