| 0:00.0 | Well, you've heard the words diversity, equity, and inclusion over and over. |
| 0:04.5 | DEI, you hear it from the White House. |
| 0:06.5 | You hear it from your corporation. |
| 0:08.0 | You hear it from the media. |
| 0:09.7 | And this standard, diversity, equity, and inclusion, according to Joe Biden's White House, |
