Summary

A new report from the World Health Organization suggests that aspartame, the widely used artificial sweetener, may cause cancer. Should Americans worry about this? Chief diversity officers were some of the hottest hires in corporate America two years ago, but some high-profile companies have started to say goodbye to this role. Ravi and Rikki dissect the new trend and question whether this is the beginning of the end for corporate America’s push for social justice. Lastly, the hosts review a new poll that shows what Americans want at work in order to achieve happiness, impact, and adequate pay.

0:00.0	A trial date is set for Trump's document case.
0:03.0	We'll discuss how this affects the primary and general election calendars and the former president's prospects of staying out of jail.
0:10.0	We're also going to talk about a new report from the World Health Organization that seems to suggest that some artificial sugars may cause cancer.
0:18.0	We'll untangle that and tell you if you have anything to worry about.

0:39.5	Hello, everybody.
0:40.5	I'm Robbie Gupta.

0:42.8	Well, Ricky Judge Aline Cannon,

1:20.7	the previous election that Trump ran in for the primary in 2016. He had it already wrapped up by then. There still are a couple states
1:31.3	that could be lingering at that point, but this doesn't seem accidental. I think that she set
1:36.0	this trial to essentially say, all right, we want to make sure this doesn't overlap with the
1:39.9	heart of the primary season. And so I'm curious, have you been watching CNN at all in their coverage of
