LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): The president took a lot of heat today, that's to put it mildly, for bringing up the issue of DEI when, you know, the folks out there were saying, "Oh, we just need the consoler-in-chief. We need information, not speculation." But he wasn't pulling that from thin air. I want to show everyone what Biden's FAA Deputy Administrator had to say back in 2023. Watch.
...
INGRAHAM: Lara, I think people today looking at that going, "Why does that have anything to do with confidence to secure our safety in the skies?"
LARA TRUMP (GUEST): Yeah, and your previous guest just dictated the fact that, you know, we have these universities that at one time the best training air traffic controllers and many of them are no longer even functioning because they were apparently too white. That's outrageous. You had Donald Trump today sign a presidential memorandum and it's shocking he had to do it but this shows you, Laura, where we are in the grand scheme of things in America to say that we ought to base hirings off of competence and merit and that's it.
