  Speaker 1: So, my father passed away three years ago.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's been three years, and uh it seems.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Like only one because everything's weird. Everything's weird, And my
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: sister McKell and I did a couple of things, uh
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: in honor of that, we talked with the University of Utah.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: He was a big supporter of them about putting uh
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: memorial for him in the Tailgate area, And in conjunction
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: with that, we sponsored a scholarship in his name for
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the Communications department at the you we got this notice yesterday.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm McKellan, Gina. Thank you so much for helping and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: updating your father's page on the Communication Department's website. We
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: have updated it here with a link. We want to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: be transparent and this is I love the University of Utah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I am not saying anything about them. I'm just saying
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: this is. These are the times that we are in Okay,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: this is not them. It comes from somewhere else. We
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: want to be transparent. We had to replace one of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the words in the text, provided diversity with the phrasing
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: quote varied perspectives in order to adhere with the current regulation. Yes, crazy,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I hope you understand. So so stupid so here's what
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it says on his memorial page. Okay, so now that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you know, those words are changed.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Out, all right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Dedicated on November twelfth, twenty twenty two, the Tom Barbaria
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Memorial at the University of Utah Tailgate Lot honors the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: legacy of legendary radio broadcaster known as the Voice of Reason. Family, friends, industry, peers, listeners,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and University of Utah dignitaries celebrated the memorial installment and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Barbari fashion at a home game against Stanford. A passionate
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: supporter of Utah athletics, Barbaria was a fixture in the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: local sports scene, blending sharp wit with deep devtion to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the utes. Beyond sports, he championed the value of varied perspectives,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: fearlessly challenging the status quo in broadcast journalism. His career
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: exemplified the power of questioning conventional wisdom, fostering meaningful dialogue,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and advocating for independent thinking, principles that continue to inspire
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: both fans and media broadcasters alike.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Go utes, This is how you control the way people
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: think exactly.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was interesting that schools are having
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to get creative, varied perspectives. Well, is a safer way
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of saying diversity, because they that is a word they
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: are not allowed to have in any official documentation.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You know what's astonishing to me is that something and
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: this is not a slam on your father, but something
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: so insignificant in the entire university world as that, as
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: that little blurb somehow catches the eye of somebody.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Well, no, it's not catching the eye. They they they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: put in a scan of all and it says, go
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in and find.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: The word diversity in anywhere. So the word diversity doesn't
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: exist anymore. You cannot use it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exquity, inclusion, those three words cannot. My sister's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a professor at Weaver State University. Again, not we were
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: State University's fault. They're just following.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I challenge somebody the next the next woman professor who
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: has a baby at the U. Name your kid diversity, diversity, Johnson,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and you can say it all. Oh, my son, diversity,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: he's so great.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: And his sister equity and oh and we're going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: have another. We're going to name him inclusion.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: It's it is, it's it's you know, and I I
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: hate to go to the well.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: But it's Nazi era manipulation, it is, you know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And I feel really badly that where you had to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: waste their time doing that, Yes, and that they felt
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the need to apologize.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: It was nice of them too.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, please understand, of course, it's fine.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Please please some some woman, professor, have a baby and
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: name a diversity.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Or change your name to diversity, professor diversity.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I'm having maybe I'll legally changed my name to diversity already.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And I just wonder what the other what the other
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: side thinks they have gained here? What is the positive
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: thing that has happened by making this word a bad word?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: They've owned the Libs. That's and that's how they governed.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: We're making you do something that you don't want to do.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: That's all they care about. That's their platform.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Why is that a bad word? Tell me why that's about?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Because it upsets you that we took it away. It
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: isn't a bad word. It's not a bad word. There's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: no there, there's no way I can tell you that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: because it isn't a bad word.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's not a bad word.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And yeah, they it's it's just a way of controlling
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: there's a text I worked for the U and the
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: language changes required.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, took an enormous amount of employee time to
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: find and change.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Sure, and I'm sorry that we had that word in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: our in our thing that you had to waste your
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: time with.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: That's Radio from Hell, the official show of critical race Theory.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: It's yeah again, it's it's it's that's how they govern
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: is owning the Libs.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: That's their first platform.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And here's an example of something that they thought was
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: important and they put it into practice. Like so many
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: things you talk about and they never come to fruition, like, oh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you know what we should do, get rid of that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: word diversity. They did it. Oh yeah, that means you
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: could do that with important things.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't mean that you could do that, it
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: means that you are doing it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: No, I mean like you could do things like opening
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: those childcares what they're doing. You have the power to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: take an idea and make it happen. There's your evidence
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: right there. But we don't like the word diversity.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: We have one, but the liberals, the liberals are the
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: ones who want those childcare centers.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is this is not they've been playing
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: the long game for years, and we have not. We've
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: been just going on and assuming that everyone's going to
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: follow the rules and everyone will do what is right. No, no,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: they're not.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: It's I love you, it's not you.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go to diversity, diversity of.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Utah, diversity of diversity of Utah, diversity.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: There you go, I have a diversity student. It's just ridiculous.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why is everyone going along with it? Because them's
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the hors. We have to take money away.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: They'll take the money away and then you got nothing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And they and they, they have taken money away.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It will be grants, there will be research not able
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to be done.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, on that note,
