Crystal, you're so intelligent.

And you texted me before we started and you were like, I didn't watch the depositions, but I do have a lot of thoughts.

And I'm so excited to hear all of them.

So what were the finer details of Justin Fox's work?

He was the main Doge member assigned to gutting the National Endowment for the Humanities, the NEH.

During his tenure, Doge gutted over $100 million worth of NEH grants.

These are grants, my dear listener, that are going to researchers, they're going to scholars, they're going to people who run museums, they're going to artists, they're going to filmmakers.

I don't know how to explain to you that culture is important.

So what was the basis for which Justin Fox decided what was on the chopping block?

Let's go back to Justin.

Crystal, are you ready to hear Justin Fox's definition for DEI?

This is a longer clip.

And so we are now officially entering 1.5 speed.

Objection.

Ooh.

I personally think this attorney deserves like a Nobel Prize.

Exactly.

Because like the thing is, I mean, we make all these jokes, especially on the left of like, oh, nobody can define DEI.

But we all know what they think DEI is.

It is anything that promotes the acceptance of the equality of the dignity of a minority group.
