When I talk to people in corporate America about DEI, they always start talking about ideology, right? And like I've talked to Bill Ackman, who you've had on, right? And when I asked him, well, Bill, you run your own companies. Who's telling you what to do? They are. Who's they? Well, it's the universities, you know, the people who have this ideology of DEI. I'm like, did they force you?

Did they coerce you? Did you lose control of your company? No, it's not me, it happens to other people. Then I talk to other people, same thing. So I get, you know, try not to go one-on-one and tip Twitter conversations on this topic. So in the DMs, I'll talk to people who are really conservative And I'll ask the same question. And I'll be like, well, who's forcing you to do this?

Well, it's the ideology that's everywhere. Didn't you see the Harvard thing in University of North Carolina? I'm like, I've never had anybody try to push me in this direction to do this. This was my business choice. I'm not trying to tell other people you have to do this. You make your own business choices.

And so where companies have made their business choices, and if somebody doesn't feel confident or comfortable with it, they may feel they're being discriminated against. There was something I just read in the Wall Street Journal where the Wall Street Journal had a company interview two million people, right?

And the difficulty in firing and how people, when they were fired, 40% of the people who were fired felt like it was wrong that they were doing a great job.

And the difficulty in firing and how people, when they were fired, 40% of the people who were fired felt like it was wrong that they were doing a great job.

Yet, then I talked about the HR person going through the hassle of trying to explain to this person through performance reviews that they weren't doing a good job, yet the people still thought they were doing a great job despite being told they're not doing a good job, right?

So I see that as being an analogous to all this, you know, this huffing and puffing about reverse discriminations and conservatives not being able to speak up because they're 40% of people who have been fired don't believe they should have been fired. There's a disconnect somewhere in how you think you're doing your job.

And if you just feel like I can't speak up because of it, because you're white and that doesn't comport well with DEI programs, a lot of things are going to happen, right? Either that's going to come up in your performance review, HR or your boss is going to have to address it in some way. It's going to get to HR at some level, and then decisions are going to have to be made.
