All right, so first of all, sorry about the plane ride today.

That's right. Sorry for my delay about 10 minutes late here, but thank you for having me.

Yeah, absolutely. Okay. So I want to start because I was telling the story on stage,

you are the first of the presidential candidates to note the issues of DEI, ESG, and this horrible situation in Hawaii, the absolute madness

of some of the public officials. So look, I think we see this in one disaster after another,

each of which are symptoms of a deeper problem. In the Maui case, let's talk about what actually led to those disastrous

Now we have black kids who don't score as well as white kids or Asian kids in school,

and we're coming up with the truism that math is racist,

when in fact, what really might have been inequitable, racist,

pick your favorite word, is the fact that in the midst of the COVID pandemic,
