All right. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hot Topics, 10 a.m. Eastern time. We do it for you every single day. I'm not even going to, this man needs no

introduction. I know that sounds like a cliche, but he doesn't. There's Van Lath and Van. How you doing,

brother? I'm well, my man. How are you? I'm great. Let's talk about everything that's happening.

Okay. Do you want to start with Trump? Do you want to start with Kanye? Do you want to start with the Super Bowl? Do you want to start with the Grammys? You tell me we can go anywhere. You are the big homie. We start where you say start.

All right. So let's talk about what I love what you said, and I agree with you. I said, why don't you just say

the word? And you know what I mean by the word. You said that DEI is worse than that word. Yeah. So, um,

the reason why is because like, so the N word as a, the N word, right, the N word as a slur has

existed to dehumanized black people for a long time. And there's been a definition that signals

not a person, not a human being, which is the reason why it still stirs up the emotions that it does.

The DEI thing now is associating black people with cataclysm in a way that I'm not sure even the N-word did.

Meaning, if there is a fire and there is a black person in the office that's supposed to deal

with the fire, it's because that black person is there.

The moment that this unspeakable tragedy happens in D.C., we start finding a way to blame

DEI, okay?

Let's make sure, or let's see if anybody

piling in any of these planes or in the control tower was not a straight white male,

which means that that was the reason that this happened. The list goes on and on. There's a bridge collapse in Baltimore.

A duly elected mayor is called a DEI mayor, a duly elected mayor. So what DEI or the term

DEI or the weaponization, the bastardization of the term DEI, what it does is it says all the society's problems are because

this group of people, heavily, heavily associated with black people, as we've seen it, used,

but also gay people, trans people, women, and anyone of the like. The reason why we don't

have a lethal military. Phead's success
