Summary

Mike and Trey open the preview of this midweek supporters’ episode with a look at the many executive actions President Trump has taken on DEI-related issues. Trey points out the bad biology in the order recognizing only two sexes at conception. Mike is somewhat receptive to the idea of ending preferences based on race, gender, or ethnicity, but feels that well-implemented DEI is not just a good idea, but important to the continued functioning of a multi-ethnic, multi-racial country like the United States. Next, they turn to executive actions on energy and climate, including the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, ‘drill baby drill’, and wind energy. They close by addressing listener questions on hostage releases and where Reagan Republicans fit in the GOP of Donald Trump.
