Episode notes

- Jordan B Peterson argues DEI rescissions are presented as anti-racist but actually aim to shift power to corporations by removing oversight in hiring and training practices.
- He contrasts DEIA mandates for government agencies with private sector incentives, disputing claims that agencies receive tax cuts and emphasizing outreach not race-based hiring.
Consider Family First Or Flexible Work

- She cites polls and personal observations claiming higher childhood outcomes and lower divorce rates tied to maternal education and home presence.

- Amanda Seals frames Black-on-Black crime as rooted in structural underinvestment and overpolicing rather than inherent pathology.
- She cites historical community cohesion during segregation, higher father presence pre-1968, and mistrust of policing and statistics manipulation.
