What You Need to Know is that Dr. Ben Carson is an exemplar of the American Dream. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is a shining example of the complete opposite: DEI. She is a Diversity Equity and Inclusion VP, or, alternatively, a Didn’t Earn It VP. Chris Rufo showed that yet another DEI hire is guilty of plagiarism, and it is starting to look like a trend. DEI is most unfair for minorities in elite institutions and jobs, because they look like they may not have earned their position just by merit of this system! Dr. Ben Carson is the complete opposite: he did not rely on handouts to become a successful man. The more you read about his life, the more you realize that he is a man of determination and character, and that is how he got to where he is today.

Josiah Lippincott, Marine veteran, PhD candidate at Hillsdale College, and author, joins Ed to discuss his recent piece, ‘Mass Deportations Would Lower Housing Prices’. Josiah walks through the numbers on record high illegal immigration, paired with record high mortgage rates. He points to how all we really need to do is to change a few of the incentives for immigration, and very quickly, the free-loading and repatriating immigrants would clear out.

Dr. John R. Lott Jr. is an American economist, political commentator, and researcher at the Crime Prevention Research Center. He joins Ed to discuss the role of experts in presenting research and statistics about violent crime. Dr. Lott gives a clear view of how to look at crime data and the way it impacts the world. They discuss the recent CPRC report: ‘How reliable are the FBI’s Report of Violent Crime Data? There are some major problems.’
