Over the past several years, the phrase “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI, has become a commonly-used catchphrase in academia, in government, and in corporate America. But what does it mean? In today’s program, we’ll break it down and then tell you about a push by the New York State Education Department to incorporate DEI into every aspect of a student’s educational experience.

On August 30, 2023, while speaking at a press conference in Kentucky, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) froze for 30 seconds and appeared unable to speak. After being approached by two aides, Sen. McConnell was able to begin talking again. The Senator’s office later stated that he had become lightheaded. Sen. McConnell’s health situation is only one of several that prompt a larger question: How should the nation respond to the problem of high-level government leaders suffering serious health problems or displaying signs of age-related decline? In this week’s episode, we’ll discuss that very topic.

After that, New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms is throwing its support behind a federal school choice initiative.

Next up, a young woman who struggled with gender dysphoria recently courageously offered congressional testimony speaking against so-called “gender-affirming” care.

Finally, and sadly, child trafficking is a reality not just in the United States of America, but in our backyard. We need to keep attention on this horrific tragedy and do everything we can to end it.

While the Democratic Party is lurching ever more left on abortion, sadly, so are many of New York’s Republican congressional delegation. Today, we’ll name names.
