- Democrat Adam Smith absolutely wreck MAGA extremists Ralph Norman and Glenn Grothman for pushing a hateful amendment targeting DEI programs in the military. Smith bashes the MAGA Republicans and the GOP for pushing white supremacy and racism in America and the military and so much more. Smith schools the MAGA cult and Republican party in epic fashion.

240614__IV01_NORMAN SMITH GROTHMAN DEI MILITARY
I'm 70 , and in all those years, I have never ever seen more weaker " men" in congress . I mean , I don't know how they can stand upright without a spine !!!
In WW2 white GIs were banned from British pubs because they didn't like drinking alongside their black comrades, the British treated black service men as Americans, not as an inferior race
If we (women) go to the Dr., we don’t need politicians in the room with us telling us what to do 😑🇺🇸💙
It’s ironic Ralph Norman is never spent a day in the military and yet he’s gonna be talking for them. I was in the military. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
I can't believe he made the "you don't go to politicians, to find out what's wrong with your car, you go to a mechanic" analogy with ZERO shame...
These are the same people who DO want you to trust politicians over experts on just about everything else they want.
Climate change, abortion, covid, anything where the experts disagree with the base they are pandering to...
So he says when you need your car repaired you didn't go to politicians you go to a mechanic. Funny enough though, when you're a woman and you need health care, Republican politicians think their opinion matters more than that of say, a doctor.
I'm Black and a veteran. God bless the gentleman who spoke on promotion issues in the military.
Thank you for your service.
Charlie Kirk says he worries if he has a Black pilot when he flies. I feel better, because a Black pilot has had to overcome obstacles to get there, and is probably one of the best.
Kirk is a loud mouth and evil person. Only those people who think and look like him are worth anything in his tiny brain.
The first time my father saw a black man was in the army during WWII. It was also the first time he saw the degree of prejudice against them. After the war, he moved to an area that was diverse and he taught his children to judge people by their actions and nothing else. "They bled the same as me," he told me once.
I worked for police in Canada for 30 years. DEI is required *every year* and it made us all better and more compassionate. Grotham is so wrong.
The Republicans should asked why families that are back bone of military are not allowing their kids to serve . It would not show DEI or gays is reason .
And, to think, recruitment is down when a former president calls soldiers "losers" and "suckers".
How can you say the words Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a bad thing. How can you say those those things are bad? By definition those are good, moral things. How can you say that is bad? What?
Ethiopia was a founder of Christianity, and Jesus was not white
I really like Adam Smith. He oozes common sense, intelligence & integrity.
REP Norman just PROVED the argument for PRO CHOICE
Diversity n inclusion across the board. zYES
We as a nation should NOT need DEI.... That said why in 2024 it continues to be a thing"
DEI creates and fosters an open, learning environment for the betterment of All Americans, which ultimately produces quality products and services for your customers.
If you think its wrong, then the fear in on you who think you will loss something!
The movie " Hidden Figures" true story of extraordinary black women making history in the space program when their white counterparts couldn't do it. Black soldiers after WW2 sent to the back of the train when the German POWs were allowed to ride on front. Even though the German POWs committed atrocities.
As a Disabled Veteran I can tell you why recruitment is down. Congress keeps trying to cut the VA budget. Prospective recruits see that once wounded and disabled, you become dependent on the VA and all it offers, especially healthcare. They see congress aggressively trying to cut the VA budget on a regular basis. Why should anyone put their lives and bodies on the line for a nation that stops caring about them after the fact? Think about it. Most people in congress never served a day in the military, so, like Tommy Tuberville, should never be allowed to hold sway over the health and lives of those who do or did. Only those who served should have this ability, like Tammy Duckworth. That's the only way to care for veterans honestly. These are the same folks that want make cuts to Social Security because they don't personally need it. They're all filthy rich. None of them would ever survive boot camp, or even summer camp, for that matter. Take better care of the veterans and you will see recruitment go up.
Thanks for your service. I appreciate ya and all that you have done.
Then vote blue 💙
No more exemplified than by the Republican push against the PACT Act.
“We can’t prove that the illness they developed after their active duty was predicated by their service.”
“Good news, everyone! The bill includes money for research to better track the development of disease linked to service and will help to prove which ones we need to cover.”
“Well then double no. I want to just hand wave responsibility. Proof is antithetical to my feelings on the matter.”
Hahaha, so under the argument that you take your car to a mechanic not a politician should be used when they talk about abortion rights. You take your health to a doctor not a politician. 😂
My best friends in the Army were black. They had my back, I had thiers.we were a team.
Diversity and inclusion are some of the best ways to make a strong, cohesive fighting force. Vertually, ALL combat veterans and leaders support this.
Hitlar used prisoners to fight his battles i bet trumpf is reading his book over and over
Gosh really think this Ralph Norman is reprehensible
Right, he looks like your nice old uncle and then he speaks and it's deplorable. I feel badly for his relatives. Good news is he is OLD and wont be around much longer
@@beststagepresence He's only 71; he could easily be in office for another decade. (Mitch McConnell is 82; Nancy Pelosi is 84; Steny Hoyer is 85; Chuck Grassley is 90!)
recruitment is down is because 26 states have an obesity and diabetes rate of 40%. Without healthy recruits, applicants can’t pass physical training requirement.
So Ralph is a real estate developer who's racking up the rent rates nationwide?
160 racists said DEI is bad. Therefore, Ralph Norman says, "cool". Also in, 160 vegetarians say eating meat is bad.
Dear representative norman do you go to a doctor or a politician for a medical condition??? Why is it then politicians are the ones determining the corce of treatments for women and not doctors??????
Adam Smith needs more airtime! He's an outstanding communicator!
Gen Z doesn't want to deal with republican bullshit.
I am Gen X and I agree too!
I am Millennial (born in '83 counts as such, right?) and I am glad to have switched parties in 2000.
Thanks for bringing these clips of government at work. It is important for the populace to hear these arguements.
in the 1970’s during the Vietnam War, I tried suicide. To my shock the military supported me, never in my life did I ever receive this. I was scheduled to be discharged. Instead they offered me a promotion and begged me to stay. It wasn’t because I was gay but they looked at my work in the military. Service to our country should outweigh prejudice!
Thank you for your service xoxo
He gets it 👏🏿. I would have done 20 years if the promotion system wasn't BS. The army preaches lead by example but that means 💩 if you don't suck up. What unit refuses to promote a specialist with more combat time than any of the senior leadership, is the only person in the battalion to score perfectly on all of the fires direction control tests and exercises and conducts the MOS training for the battery?😤 To add further insult, they made me a squad leader in the 1st platoon and put 2 NCOs in the second platoon squad. Still refused to even give me CPL. WTF?🤬
When I went to setup for the training, the SGT shows up before the others asking about the training for the day.🤔 I asked him why they didn't give him the 1st platoon squad leader position.🤨 Turns out, he got promoted all the way up to SSG in reserves, never learned his job, and got bumped down when he switched to active duty.😮 So I got stuck training a SGT on a job that is geared towards un-aliving anyone or anything in a 50 meter radius of impact from miles away. Having shelled Ramadi during the same time we got Saddam, it isn't exactly a job where errors aren't without devastating consequences.
I loved being in the army and learning anything available. I asked to do college after 29 months of deployments to Iraq in the span of 34 months. Denied. Given to a new white male soldier, recently promoted to specialist. Asked to get lasik. Denied. Given to that same soldier. He was a suck up of the highest pedigree. He was fast tracked to SSG. Admittedly, he was very intelligent.
Glad now that I got out. I would be coming up on 20 this year. Working under 45 and not being able to talk 💩 against him would not have been possible.
Do you not think that America is diverse? Then why wouldn't we have a diverse military as well?
It looks like Russian hands all over!
Name a single major war where US success wasn't in part dependent on cooperation with a different ethnicity other then "White American". For this reason alone the military needs to be "woke".
We don't fight our wars alone and our warriors need to used to working alongside and with people very different from the GOP vision for our military. If they were to get their way it weaken our military and compromise our readiness to deploy anywhere in the world in rapid fashion and ready to engage not only the enemy but also with the local support that we depend on.
The very idea that a group has a problem with DEI shows that racism is alive and well. In fact I'd argue it hasn't been this well accepted since the last time "America was great"
Uhh… the military doesn’t build ships & tanks, btw
4:30 " If you take a car to a mechanic, you don't go to politicians to find out what's wrong with your car.".....By the same logic....If you go to a gynecologist with concerns about your pregnancy......you certainly don't ask a politician for his approval ......of WHATEVER you both have decided is in your best interests.
Woman have to ask their politicians about healthcare so GOP are rediculous.
Mr. Norman does not seem to be a very bright man. He’s like if Forrest Gump had a baby with David Duke.
😂😂
Bravo, Rep. Smith...maga can't deal with facts and you sure dealt them!!!
Vote 💙 💙 💙
If you want soldiers to work together, to have each other's back, to function as a team where there's no dividing line between sexuality, race, or religion, then DEI has a place in the military.
As a former Marine, DEI is very important. There are still service members that have not had contact or any real dealings with those of another race. Also, dealing with people from other states.
Notice ,it’s all bubbas against inclusion!
🤔🤨 They ALL have DARK-❤’s,,, & 🤡👿💩💩-4-🧠’s!!! 🧐🤨🤜🏾🤡👿🤛🏾👇🏾👇🏾🫸👿😖😫🥵🥵😭😭🫷👌🏾😇☝🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👌🏾
I'm a Vietnam Veteran, 2/502 Infantry, 101st Airborne ... my LT, Platoon Sgt, my Squad leader and my best friend were Black ... yet in combat we were all green and I know everyone I just mention had my as* and they knew that I was there for them. Trump/MAGA has destroyed America ... After 9 years Army I moved to Australia as a teacher. Actual "Combat Arms" is around 8% of the total armed forces. Infantry is the hardest training, and the most demanding ... I would guess NONE of these Repubs every served in combat. Also the youth of today realize that after your tour, and your discharge, the VA Doesn't take care of us!
Thank you for your service xoxo
The biggest problem is everyone seeing those you have been told to hate, and be treated as "inferior" are able to fight for you and bleed the same as you. As a result of that, people fear having to give up their beliefs and the established order of society after those same you treated like dirt were able to perform equally or even above others.
To those who are the ones puttin on the uniform, respect alone cannot be conveyed with just words.
@@MT-lv3ls ???
@@airbrushken5339 Not sure on the ??? reply. It was pretty simple. Those who want a single image of their country so suit themselves, will remove anyone who is endagering that ideology.
@@MT-lv3ls It is just this lack of connection to a concern with truth - this indifference to how things really are - that I regard as of the essence of what you posted.
Agreed! And it is called inside terrorism
Rep Adam Smith said it so well! I'm so glad he's there.
BTW, it's laughable that Rep. Ralph Norman would be concerned about money being spent on DEI training when the House GOP has spent tons of money chasing their own tails! Which is more cost effective: doing something beneficial for society overall, or running in circles chasing something that can't be caught?
rep norman YOU ARE THE REASON WHY THE NUMBERS ARE DOWN. Id call him stupid but I know he is just a horrible person.
Mr repubmaga are you a bonespur runner like trump? Did you dodge the draft? 😮
Loyalty

DEI has always been part of military life, even if it wasn't called that. You learn from day one in bootcamp that the bigotry and prejudices you bring from your home and family are not going to fly. My bootcamp company had black dudes from the inner cities of Chicago and Detroit, Italian dudes from the NE, guys from Montana who had never even met a person of color, some good old boys from AL/GA, California surfer types, and some boring guys from Ohio. The good old boys quickly learned that calling somebody "boy" would not fly there. Same with dropping the N bomb - which resulted in a beatdown and discharge.
80 young men from very diverse backgrounds, scared and stressed, surrounded by people much different from them. Yep, you needed guidance and lessons on how to behave because what you were used to doing and saying at home would not fly there. And it worked - 13 weeks after showing up as 80 individuals, you graduate as a finely tuned machine operating as one. Those that could not practice "DEI" usually were not around on graduation day.
Actually it wasn’t always that way. The bigots want their kkk values promoted n hate that we are finally changing their system of discrimination
But apparently the GOP are against that. Their agenda is so transparent
@@Frugal_granny Not always, but since the 70s.
I mean, just imagine spending that much energy fighting against people understanding that cultures are different
Yes and if i need a doctor I don't need a politician.
Talent and strength are spread evenly across all races, genders, and sexual orientations. A more diverse workplace and in this case military is always going to be more effective. If you want to cut the budget of the military stop writing blank checks to defense contractors.
4:53
160 “WHITE” Flag Officers oppose DEI.
Adam Smith throwing some truth bombs.
Well said Adam Smith!
Ah cool 4:30 so basically 160 people just outed themselves as racist?? :D
Grothman is just another grifter! He’s useless !
Jim Crow is still alive and well...
Racism too.
We are a country of diversity. Therefore, our military should reflect that diversity. Another reason for individuals not joining the military now includes the likes of Senator Tubberville holding up promotions. A woman’s right to travel out of state for “health care”, the list is endless. God forbid we actually have a war and are unable to defend ourselves or our Allie’s.
"Dei programs tend to be ineffective." How are you measuring effectiveness?
If you don’t know, don’t ask…only a wyt person would say that…and if you never served stfu!
It's not the military but the C.I.A. where women alone found Osama Binladin!
So the stuffy real-estate mogul is opposed to inclusion? What a fn surprise!
Is there any politician with a rebel accent that isn't a racist SOB?! Is there any politician with a rebel accent that didn't have it before they came into politics?! Like Senator John Kennedy for instance! He's playing all those guys for suckers! He was educated at Oxford!!
Is everyone at TH-cam a Republican?!
Ha, looks like Norman forgot his white hood today.
Racism is alive and well Americans.
And growing.
Nobody hayes white people but you racists and bigots hate everybody but white people.
The irony of Ralph Norman saying “eh… who cares about diversity”… is so rich… and unfortunate. He’s not evolved.
Rep. Smith, thank you. The other one, norman, pick up your junk from your office and get OUT.
I hope his lawncare people, cleaning person, roofers, mechanics etc. Please tell them to listen to this.
wait, does the military build ships or planes, or do private companies get contracted to do it? Private companies who most likely at least pretend to have dei.
These Magas are on my nerves.
The lack of desire by Ralph Norman to not even want those experiences to be discussed. Honestly makes me want to pull my hair out like what an arrogant man. This is his inability to think that he just cannot learn anything else from somebody different.
The 160 he was talking about also have sheets and pointed hats hanging in their closets.
I'll say it a million times. "Colorblindness" is complicity in discrimination, inequity, and exclusion. Failure to recognize and incorporate diversity allows the rot of bias to fester under the surface.
Fox and gop doing all that
Maybe pay them a living wage. My cousin is in the military and had to apply for food stamps (EBT) to make ends meet. That is why my cousin is leaving the military as soon as possible.
Recruiting is down because of addiction to opiates, meth, alcohol ect. Its down because of obesity and mental health issues. If the government focused on opioid addiction as intensely as they did with COVID, we would have a lot more able bodies to serve in the military.
4:33 if I have a question about the presidency of the US, I'll ask Biden. If i need advice on reality TV, I'll ask Chump!
Norman is a really slow learner! The effects of COVID is still being felt world wide???
People are still dying from covid. Ending the pandemic was a political decision, not an epidemiological one.
Who cares the sexual orientation, or the skin colour. I don't care about that when there is someone fighting for extremist/despotic ideology on the other side of the battlefield. This isn't the 1700's anymore, all these Republicans who only want those in their ranks to be filled with those who seem to fit the brochures and ads, need to understand that those who wear the uniform have to fight for what you start - not you deciding who has the right to fight for what you start. respect those who are willing to fight for it to stay, or to prove themselves to those who sit in their armchair and bemoan the world.
I always double check my posts by removing a full stop and adding it back. Content, I fixed a mistake and got "returned error". So I shortened my message to hopefully avoid the mysterious hammer that seems to be a minefield these days.
DEI is not just about skin shade? White women actually are the highest percentage of people that benefit from DEI.. It's diversity of all things like disabilities etc...
Black people jave served honorably
The Repub in real estate has a crooked tie - that's all I could get from his appearance.
Grossman was horrible for Wisconsin and is worse for the United States.
MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS MILITARY AND YOU STILL LEFT ME FOR DEAD
2 concurrent twenty-year wars, crappy VA support, and horrible pay (enlisted families on SNAP etc.) are also factors in the drop in recruitment.
Oh mr nucklehead norman - 😂 EVERY country in the world is now on EVERY eligable citizen has to enlist, "do their duty". What does that mean? That means everyone, even green w purple polkadots are in militaries. Mr NoBrain wake tfu.
If The Republican Politicians win The Election in November. The Oligarchy is going to tell the. Poor People what they can and can't do.
Foreign adversaries - inclusion for years. For example, look at the Indian and the Gurkha inclusion for British forces- for which Britain is grateful and has great respect. To say foreign adversaries are laughing is ludicrous.
Yeah, and we’re also not worried about Republicans feelings either… It’s so infuriating that they act like that. It’s our feelings that are hurt when it seems to be very clearly. The Republicans that are whining about this.
Apparently people aren't joining the military because the opportunity isn't available for minorities. Other opportunities with a low unemployment, have more opportunities for advancement. The "don't ask, don't tell" was initially a way that gay people could remain in the military. The fact is people of all colors and sexual orientation can be the best qualified for any position. Discrimination can be more of a reason for low recruitment than anything else.
The people you are trying to convince diversity is the correct move are the type that want to speak to people not like them the way the cooks were and worse. They aren't strong enough to act without changing laws/rules etc without protection from accountability.
4:38 So when Rep. Ralph Norman has a trouble with his house, he goes to his white carpenters because they are more qualified than black carpenters?
The people typically descriminated against are better for community outreach in areas where the people being helped in a foreign country are not white. This happens a lot more than most US citizens are realizing.
This is honest debate over policy. Regardless of which side one takes, it’s good to have this civil exchange instead of the MAGA rancor in the House with the shouting idiocy over stupid talking points to get an appearance on Fox.
The father of capitalism looks amazing for his age! Lol. But seriously, great stuff from him here.
I never knew about this man. He is worth looking into. He is very well spoken and his ethical compass is on good working order. (The Adam Smith comment is funny, Seth!)
