Full Episode
President Trump has returned to office with an extremely ambitious agenda and has immediately taken executive action to jumpstart what he's promising will be a transformative year for the nation. Among the issues he's already begun to address is reversing the Biden administration's policies on gender identity and diversity, equity and inclusion.
In this episode, we sit down with the president of Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal group that has been leading the charge on gender and DEI cases to discuss Trump's actions and cultural shifts on the issues. I'm Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Saturday, January 25th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Joining us now to discuss Trump's executive action on gender and DEI is Alliance Defending Freedom president and CEO Kristen Wagoner. First of all, thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for having me. I wanted to start big picture. We just witnessed a historic, on so many levels, inauguration. The biggest political comeback in American history is now complete.
In terms of the larger issues that your organization in particular is really concerned with, what does this mean for the future of the country in the coming four years?
We're thrilled with the promises that President Trump has made with regard to the revolution of common sense. He referred to that in his inaugural speech, that we're going to return back toward reality, toward common sense and the rule of law.
And I think what it means for practical purposes is that he is intending to use the federal government to ensure we eradicate a toxic ideology that has wreaked havoc on Americans, both in terms of safety, opportunities and freedom.
Yeah, let's unpack that. I know that gender ideology has been a key priority for your group. The Daily Wire has also been focused very heavily on this issue. What are we seeing coming from the Trump administration on gender-related policies?
The Trump administration has issued a number of executive orders that deal with gender identity as well as censorship and DEI in the federal government. And all of those come together to essentially restore the legal and scientifically sound definition of sex in federal law, meaning that we are created male and female and that sex is neither chosen nor changed.
And that will have tremendous implications, both on women's rights with regard to sports, fairness, privacy, locker rooms, also what our children are being taught, and in numerous other areas.
