ceremonial, optical choices made where we're putting in a female CEO of color or someone who's Indian, but the internal structure stays the same. And if you just look at a school like Harvard, you go, oh, well, they're, yes, socialist in some respects, but in some respects, actually,

You know, if you challenge the Ukraine war, if you challenge aspects of the American empire, if you challenge certain... Look at all the wars. All of our wars are being sold with social justice. A lot of our wars are being sold because, you know, if we don't see a national security interest in it, we're told that... Well, people in that country are not being treated well.

That country has values that we don't have in the West. And that may be true. But in many cases, it's not worth going to war over. And most Americans would say that. So who exactly is benefiting from these programs and these values being instituted? It isn't low-income people in the inner city. It isn't. It seems to be kind of... A lot of establishment.

It's the establishment trying to preserve itself by shutting out certain ideas and certain people and, you know, giving very ceremonial nods to, you know, play up your Indian-ness, play up this, play up that. But, you know, it's like when the CIA goes and she goes, I'm the first female drone pilot.

So this DEI to me just seems like a way for a lot of the same establishment people to keep their power and influence by offering these very optical advancements to people that may, you know, pay lip service to certain ideas. But when it comes down to it, they're very loyal people. to the same power factions that, you know, have always kind of driven the narrative in our country. Completely agree.

What was that moment in time like? I was told by countless executives to play up my indie in this, and I tried. Yes, you tried. But it was just in bad taste. Yes. It was in terrible taste when I came in and I tried to be Indian and it just wasn't good. No, I think here's what it was. I started, you know, having more of a career in, let's say, 2016, 2017, 2018.
