Laura Ingraham discusses how companies and now even medical systems are pushing the idea of DEI and implicit bias regarding race on ‘The Ingraham Angle.
'
HANNITY: Well, I'll tell you one quick story. I knew he was struggling with cancer. I had been in touch with them. And last time I talked to him he started to Hannity be Jesus, it's Cardinal O'Connor.INGRAHAM: He, we've lost a lot of wonderful people lately, and incredible Americans. He was one of them. And I just concur with everything you said. But SEAN, thank you.
Corporations spend as much as $8 billion a year for DEI compliance with so called diversity and bias experts being paid hefty sums to oversee this woke training and compliance. But DEI is its own cottage industry with its own side hustles. Even the rating agency Moody's has all the bureaucratic diversity lingo down path.
INGRAHAM: Translation you may not think so but you're a rotten racist, especially if you're not a minority. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Can you help us understand a little better this implicit bias? You so I'm a doctor, a patient comes in white, African American what happens in my conscious or unconscious or in the interaction that becomes a generator of the kind of inequity you're talking about?
JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: I made it a priority to build a government that looks like America, including the most diverse cabinet ever assemble. My friend, so much is breaking down around us. And it's not just because of the supply chain. But it's the Biden team that we know doesn't care. Because in the end, they hope to train a new generation to believe that this is an acceptable way of organizing society. But we know it's not. The entire point of the civil rights movement was to promote equal opportunity without regard to race or ethnicity.
INGRAHAM: Here's my prediction. Companies that employ these methods are going to lose market share, they're going to lose sales, and they're going to lose customers to companies that promote people and they hire people on the basis of merit. Now joining me now is Laura Morgan. She's a registered nurse who says that she was fired for refusing to do the implicit bias training that she was being told to do. She's also the Program Manager at Do No Harm an organization dedicated to protect healthcare from the radical ideology of anti-Racism.
UCHE BLACKSTOCK, ADVANCING HEALTH EQUITY FOUNDER: This authentic racism can be a key driving force of the social determinants of health, we ask, you know, our white colleagues and our non - and our non-black colleagues really think about, think about their privilege, think about how in their respective roles or something happens at work, are you silence because silence is complicity, especially in the phase of...
MORGAN: Well, you mentioned wanting to be able to take your child to the best physician possible.
INGRAHAM: Well, it starts with marijuana but where does it go from there. Oregon was the first state to decriminalize it. Then they legalized it for recreational use. And then a few years later, they decriminalized hard drugs, cocaine, heroin, LSD and even meth, how things look at on Oregon, well we all know how they're looking not good.
INGRAHAM: Well Bloomberg actually reported some facts about marijuana legalization today, they reported that cannabis is as almost as addictive as opioids and teens, rates of cannabis use disorder and people 12 to 17 grew 25 percent more in states that legalized recreational marijuana than those that didn't. And 2019 and the two years prior there were a total of 4,172 exposure cases nationwide and kids up to 9 years old. Doctor, this is only going to get worse.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Black people are still far more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people. KAMER: Well, it's very dangerous for the young community. People who are young have grown up, only hearing that marijuana is medicine. That's probably if you were on the on family feud and you said, medical blank, they would answer Marijuana.KAMER: Because this is what they've been told time and time again. What we do need is for the youth to be educated that this is not just some beneficial natural substance, but it is an intoxicating addictive drug with a lot of problems.
On Monday, the New York Times reported the company had been the target of so called election deniers reported quote, using threadbare evidence or none at all. The group suggested that a small American election software company Konnech had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data of about 2 million poll workers in the United States.
Joining me now is Harmeet Dhillon, Chairwoman of the Republican National Lawyers Association. Harmeet, so I guess leaks from the FBI are now bad again. They've been doing it for how many years against Donald Trump and Muller investigation on down. So how might this all tie back in the end to Joe Biden?
INGRAHAM: Right. Yes, the author of The Washington Post piece today offered some details earlier, watch. And so I think that nothing is going to end up happening. It would be a gift to the Biden family if Hunter Biden was offered the ability to plead to a couple of minor offensives and pay some money. This needs to be pursued. It needs to be pursued by the House if Republicans take back control.
RAYMOND ARROYO, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, Laura, it's sort of a reboot. OK, one Eric Adams and those migrants arriving from Texas will just love.TED LANGE, ACTOR: Where's the bartender?INGRAHAM: This is actually, Laura, just a brand switch and bait. And yes, that was Ted Lang, the original Isaac the bartender in a cameo. It's actually a dating show hosted by Jerry O'Connell and his wife Rebecca Romijn set on the Princess Boat.
ARROYO: Yes, but that was a major, that's a major medical procedure to warn people. This is like, people do this every other Wednesday they get a booster. Why do we need this segment on T.V. about it? INGRAHAM: It was very -- he went the whole way there, went two minutes, then out. It was very strange.
INGRAHAM:"I really had an exhausting weekend emotionally, physically. For the first time in two years, I ventured out of the house." Now, you might think all of that came from someone who is maybe recovering from a terrible accident, maybe a leper, or maybe even someone who is newly released from an extended house arrest. But you'd be wrong. That was so called shock jock Howard Stern this week after having dinner with friends.
And I actually have a hard time laughing about Howard Stern. I just feel sorry for him. And it's not even his fault. It's public health's fault for creating this messaging that we are all dangerous to each other. And I think public health really should work to scale it back as rapidly as it can, because it's really hurting people all across the country.DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: COVID is still around. I think that's very clear.
And it's a problem for the medical profession. It's a probably for public health. Public health really needs to apologize for what it has done to the American people over the last two-and-a-half years. It has really botched COVID at a level that is almost unimaginable.
