Episode description

Today we're discussing some of Joe Biden's recent executive orders, as well as the broader topic of "equity." What do Democrats mean when they say they want equal outcomes for all? It means they want the government to make it happen no matter what. One of Biden's orders aims to alleviate the racial disparity in the housing market by reinstating the "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing" rule. Thomas Sowell had strong words about the consequences of this Obama-era program. Biden is also reversing Trump's ban on critical race theory training for federal employees, which has been shown to actually increase implicit bias in participants.
