I mean, it's fascinating. She said diverse voices or different voices from different backgrounds are important. Well, sure. I mean, we don't want the same person singing all the songs. We don't want everyone. I mean, you do get a different perspective. That's got nothing to do with skin color. No one's saying that we shouldn't have different people from different backgrounds.

It's this maniacal focus on immutable characteristics that are the problem. And especially when you're promoting people who are less qualified, who knows what went on exactly, of course, with the air crashes and stuff.

But we do know that that stuff is a serious problem inside the FAA and an uncountable amount of government agencies that are doing important things that are supposed to help Americans. If you're focused on that, you're not focused on finding the best person. You're not focused on finding the best singer. You're not focused on finding the best lyricist.

You're focusing on genitals or skin color or whose genitals you like the best or whatever. whatever intersectional value we're supposed to be caring about this week. When you're caring about that, you're not caring about merit. I thought that was great. You know, Pete Hegg said that in his term. I know Marco Rubio has spoken about it. All these appointees from Trump are talking about it.

Pick the best person. Don't care about those things. And that's the way to go.

I mean, it's funny because they praise DEI so much, Megan, but if DEI hits their industry, a lot of boring white guys like me are going to be winning hip hop awards. And I don't think that's what they want. I'm concerned about the way they look at this.

Yes. Don't look at the red carpet. Take your kids away. It's funny, too, with Lady Gaga, you mentioned trans people are invisible. This terminology is so strange. Like, if anything, I feel like trans people are the most visible. Every time they walk down the street, I can tell immediately. Too visible. Way too visible. I want to know less. I want to see less. I want to know less.

Please don't wear Kanye's wife's dress anywhere. But this is – it's just like this standard stuff that I feel like – look, these are not the smartest people among us. I mean I'm not sitting here thinking that they're all necessarily going into deep thought about what they're saying. A lot of them just – They've got a vibe that DEI is good to them, so they're going to say it.

But you'd think there'd be some thought after all of this has happened, right? You had this supposed mandate in 2020, which has gone away. The culture is moving in the opposite direction. The people who are, I think, standing out right now are the people pushing back against this old guard, which encompasses DEI and so many other things. Right.

It's great to be fair to everybody, but like just on the merits, Beyonce should not, you know, I just, I don't think enough of her music to believe that she could possibly have more, more awards than all of those people. I think you just mentioned combined.

Megan, you're the best. Thank you.
