Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Marine Corps hires a chief diversity officer as it moves towards its goal of creating a more diverse, equitable and tolerant force.
00:00:09.420
That's the way they're selling it anyway. But today we'll talk about what that really means.
00:00:12.520
Also, Kamala Harris is upset that she doesn't have enough to do as vice president.
00:00:16.140
And now her team is apparently accusing Joe Biden's team of racism.
00:00:21.760
Plus, a Michigan school is forced to shut down because a large number of staff members have an adverse reaction to the COVID booster.
00:00:27.880
That's pretty inconvenient. And as we discussed on Friday, a college professor is on a campaign to de-stigmatize pedophiles.
00:00:33.740
The college has responded to the outrage and Britney Spears is free.
00:00:39.460
We'll talk about that and so much more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:52.980
Listen, stop arguing with your friends about politics and do something.
00:00:56.640
Join the Moink movement and save the family farm.
00:01:01.520
But really, I think you can still argue about politics because I enjoy that too much.
00:01:05.880
With Moink, you get the highest quality meat you've ever tasted while supporting real family farms at the same time.
00:01:11.360
Moink delivers grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken and wild-caught Alaskan salmon directly to your door,
00:01:17.880
helping family farms become financially independent outside of big agriculture.
00:01:21.140
Their animals are raised outdoors, their fish swim wild in the ocean,
00:01:24.580
and Moink meat is free of antibiotics, hormones, sugar, and all the other junk you find in prepackaged stuff that you buy in the meat aisle at the grocery store.
00:01:34.600
Sign up at moinkbox.com slash Walsh to get a year of ground beef for free,
00:01:39.360
and then pick what meats you want delivered with your first box.
00:01:42.200

00:01:45.640
Moink was founded by an eighth-generation farmer who was featured on Shark Tank,
00:01:57.560
and listeners to this show get free ground beef for a year.
00:02:00.240
That's one year of the best ground beef you'll ever taste for a limited time.
00:02:07.420
The Washington Post reports that China is currently in the process of modernizing
00:02:12.500
and diversifying its fleet of nuclear warheads.
00:02:16.020
The Defense Department now expects that China's arsenal will have quadrupled
00:02:20.120
By 2030, the Communist nation should have more than 1,000 nuclear warheads.
00:02:25.320
Among them will be a certain number of hypersonic orbital missiles,
00:02:28.300
which can circle the globe without being detected.
00:02:32.620
and China still will have fewer nuclear weapons than we do.
00:02:35.720
I mean, enough to destroy the entire planet, so probably that's sufficient.
00:02:41.540
But the point, though, is that they seem focused on strengthening their position
00:02:52.340
In an interview with NPR, General David Berger announced that the Marine Corps
00:02:56.860
will be overhauling and reinventing itself in order to institute more diversity.
00:03:01.260
Not nuclear diversity, but the type of diversity that politically correct HR representatives
00:03:07.320
Reading from Yahoo News, it says, according to Berger,
00:03:10.220
Marines will work to, quote, reflect America, to reflect the society we come from.
00:03:15.060
Adding that the decision is not one related to being woke or politically correct.
00:03:20.760
Quote, our advantage militarily is on top of our shoulders, Berger said.
00:03:26.000
We are better than anybody else, primarily because we don't all think exactly alike.
00:03:33.320
Now, far be it for me, it's a question, the esteemed general.
00:03:42.000
Even so, I'm skeptical that any military engagement has ever been won due to a,
00:03:47.800
due to, you know, diversity of ethnic backgrounds among the victors.
00:03:52.200
Can anybody point me to an example from military history of a battle that was won
00:04:00.620
I'm trying to imagine back, say, during the Normandy invasion, a group of soldiers pinned down,
00:04:08.040
One of them shouts, we need someone with a diverse ethnic background over here.
00:04:14.740
You know, I can't see why that would have specifically helped.
00:04:18.140
But the Marines are all in on their diversity plan anyway.
00:04:22.580
In fact, as Fox News reports, they're paying big bucks to make this happen.
00:04:28.080
A job listing with the U.S. Marine Corps seeking a diversity, equity, and inclusion advisor
00:04:33.380
with a starting salary of $144,000 is gaining attention on social media.
00:04:38.260
The USMC is hiring the advisor to ensure that, quote,
00:04:40.780
all internal and external communications reflect diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI,
00:04:47.060
and to develop tools that enable shifting the USMC cultural paradigm for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
00:04:52.520
The DEI advisor will work in collaboration with the chief diversity officer and the diversity review board.
00:04:59.000
The listing states, duties include the assessment of diversity and inclusion program effectiveness,
00:05:05.800
design and lead implementation of process improvement initiatives,
00:05:14.140
As well as the development and administering of training and education guidance to the CDO.
00:05:20.300
You will drive strategic management concepts and principles,
00:05:23.340
including assisting with the development of Marine Corps policy,
00:05:26.220
supporting the USMC's mission, vision, values, strategic goals, and objectives,
00:05:31.860
Now, needless to say, $144,000 a year is significantly more
00:05:36.580
than any of the men out actually doing the fighting are getting paid.
00:05:41.260
So, risk your life for your country and get paid about the same as,
00:05:45.200
I don't know, Papa John's shift supervisor or less,
00:05:49.480
but sit behind a desk developing equity and inclusion strategies,
00:05:52.940
and, you know, that's where the big bucks are made.
00:05:56.120
At any rate, if you want more information on our military's diversity plans,
00:06:00.500
you'll be happy to know that you can go to the Marine Corps Association website
00:06:03.860
and download their full diversity, equity, and inclusion plan,
00:06:07.780
as written by Lieutenant General David Audignan and Brigadier General Jason Woodworth.
00:06:13.160
Here you'll find details about what this chief diversity officer will do,
00:06:17.460
and you can learn about the formation of the aforementioned diversity review board,
00:06:21.400
which the Marines will be using as they strive to achieve their diversity goals.
00:06:26.120
And this is not just about racial diversity, of course.
00:06:29.980
Today's Marine Corps is 58% white and 42% minority.
00:06:33.860
From 2010 to 2020, enlisted diversity grew from 33% to over 45%,
00:06:38.540
and our officer diversity grew from 16% to 34%.
00:06:41.420
Female diversity continues to climb each year and is currently over 9%.
00:06:46.140
These are signs that we are making positive progress,
00:06:49.080
but much work remains to be done to retain and promote
00:06:52.160
a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive force across all ranks.
00:06:55.760
Now, again, we must ask the question from before.
00:07:01.080
In the whole history of military conflict across the entire globe,
00:07:05.760
has there ever been a battle won because one side was more inclusive and equitable than the other?
00:07:15.160
In fact, battles have been won with the exact opposite approach.
00:07:18.160
Rather than diversity, militaries have always valued cohesiveness, uniformity.
00:07:32.200
It's why they literally wear things called uniforms.
00:07:41.660
ruthlessly sometimes, to the needs of the unit, the group, the whole.
00:07:52.900
because it set standards for itself that excluded those who were unfit,
00:08:02.600
It's never been a place for individual expression.
00:08:06.180
It has never been a beacon of tolerance or equality.
00:08:23.500
There's never been anything like what they are currently turning it into right now.
00:08:33.240
and fundamentally rebuild and redefine everything.
00:08:59.600
that we don't make the mistake of accepting the premise
00:09:01.660
that the left actually wants diversity and inclusion.
00:09:15.780
Diversity and inclusion should never be the priority.
00:09:35.600
increasing the percentages of some demographics,
00:09:38.980
you know, demographics that are not white and male,
00:09:42.420
what that means is reducing the percentage of white males.
00:09:49.760
is not just to get more black people and women involved,
00:09:53.440
because if the participation rates of blacks and women grew
00:10:01.680
you wouldn't see an increase in the former group
00:10:07.920
which means that the military very specifically
00:10:16.640
Oh, we want a greater percentage of this group.
00:10:29.900
most of the fighting and dying for this country,
