Ep. 1269 - How Government ‘Diversity’ Initiatives Are Leading Us To A Major Airline Disaster: Today on the Matt Walsh Show, you probably haven't heard about it but we have come very close to some major airplane disasters recently. And the government's diversity initiatives have a lot to do with it. Also, the media smeared a young child as racist for wearing an Indian headdress. Turns out the kid is Native American. Plus, the Left is very upset about our new sports comedy. We'll look at some of their reactions today. And a new TikTok campaign urges people to dump the water out of their water bottles so that the oceans don't dry up. This is a real concern that some people have.
