President Trump is waging war on the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) philosophy entrenched in various U.S. entities, signing an executive order scaling back the practice as he encourages companies in the public and private sectors to prioritize merit in the workplace.

"It's just enormous, and I think the president is really, really going to make healthcare great again," Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chairman of the "Do No Harm" nonprofit, told Fox News while addressing the potential changes to the medical industry.

"I think it's going to do three things. It's going to have a huge impact on medical school admissions. First of all, it's going to demand that medical schools now comply with… the Students for Fair Admission, the famous case in the Supreme Court against Harvard and [the University of] North Carolina," he added, referencing the landmark 2023 ruling that barred race-based "affirmative action" admissions practices for most institutions of higher education.

"The second thing… it's going to have a huge impact on the private sector issues of DEI, so it's going to make medical schools and private medical societies and so on have to comply with the fact that there's going to be no more DEI…," he continued.

"And I think, even as important as it's going to be in medical school admissions, it's going to be issuing changes in the contracting and grant-making that the federal government does. Most medical schools and health care systems are incredibly dependent on the federal government for their grants and contracts and this executive order says [there will be] no more of that activity going on in these grant-making activities."

Goldfarb has sounded the alarm over DEI in medicine for some time, leading "Do No Harm," which, in the group's words, protects healthcare professionals from the "disastrous consequences" of identity politics.

Trump's onslaught against DEI mandates also saw all federal DEI workers placed on paid administrative leave with their offices shuttered on Wednesday. 

The change comes as a swath of private companies like Walmart, McDonald's, Ford and Meta have announced their own plans to scale back or eliminate DEI initiatives.

The aunt of New Orleans terror attack victim Martin "Tiger" Bech, a former All-Ivy League kick returner for the Princeton University football team, said faith is guiding the family through the devastating loss.

"It's honestly remarkable. You know, as devastating as this is, God is so present," Cheri Bech told "Fox & Friends First" Friday.

Tiger, 27, was visiting his home state of Louisiana to fish and hunt with college friends when a truck driver plowed into crowds on Canal and Bourbon Street in the early morning on New Year's Day, killing at least 14.

Cheri told Fox News producers before her interview that Tiger's mother felt as if he had been saying his goodbyes for weeks before the tragedy.

"It gives me chills to talk about it," co-host Ashley Strohmier remarked.

Cheri detailed how their faith in God has been a backbone for her family's grief journey.

"On New Year's night, we had learned of the news of Tiger. My daughters and I were sitting at our dinner table, and one of my daughters looked at me and said, ‘Mom, you know, someone killed my cousin. And I forgive him,'" she revealed. 

"It's through our faith in Jesus that we're able to forgive such a heinous act of crime against just innocent people."

Cheri called Tiger an "amazing" son, sibling and cousin, supporting his younger brother Jack's TCU football career as he prepares for the 2025 NFL Draft.

"Tiger worked in New York. He worked his tail off all week to take the latest flight he could Friday night to get here 1:30 in the morning, wake up early and be the first one out there watching Jack," she said.

"Jack knows that Tiger's presence will be there with him [at the draft]. We're all firm believers in Jesus and we're just holding Jesus' hand as we're going through this difficult journey."

In a social media post, Jack wrote: "Love you always brother! You inspired me everyday now you get to be with me in every moment," he said. "I got this family T, don’t worry. This is for us."

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT VICTIMS OF NEW ORLEANS TERRORIST ATTACK

Cheri went on to share a crucial Bible scripture that has anchored her to Jesus throughout her family's difficult journey. 

"This scripture that just keeps popping up, because like I said, God just keeps showing up in just such remarkable ways. And that's Isaiah 41:10. 'Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand,'" Cheri quoted.

She concluded by sharing a faith-filled message to the families of other victims of the attack. 

"I want everybody to know that all the Bechs are praying for all of the other victims families. You know, it's a difficult road, but together we can all get through it. And we have a huge core family."
