You know, you get started with the world of politics. Where the world has changed over the last two days. Donald Trump was inaugurated as the forty seventh president of the United States of America and went straight to work. Within hours of his swearing in ceremony, Trump signed at least forty six executive orders and presidential actions one day
that addressed the number of campaign pledges. The executive orders included the end of Biden era border policies and pardoning more than fifteen hundred people from the January sixth Capitol Riots. Trump also ordered all federal employees and diversity, equity and inclusion roles placed on paid leave by tonight, Wednesday, January twenty second. In addition to all of that, Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization, a
significant move that drew criticism from public health experts. A couple of things get to my mind, and that's what I want to start first. Okay, first things first, in terms of pardoning folks from the Riots capital in the US Capital, January sixth, twenty twenty one, I do not agree with that decision by the President of the United States.
I do believe that a lot of folks should have been pardoned, etc. But when you bring up Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers and considering the charges that were leveled against them, anybody, and I'm just using that as an example, anybody that engaged in violence, to me, that should have
been different. If you're the commander in chief of the United States of America, if you preach about the importance of law and order, and someone has flagrantly engaged in lawlessness, but you give them a pass just because they supported you, you're not supporting the law. You're supporting you. Again, the vast majority of people who found themselves really under the eyes and the microscopic focus of the federal government, particularly on the left, when it came to arresting them and
died them and ultimately convicted them of charges. The vast majority of people who may have been sent to jail or was scheduled to go to prison, those folks, everybody doesn't deserve that. But anybody who's engaged in violence, I'm sorry,
you know that that's lawless. You know, walking in to the rotunda, walking into the US capital and taking pictures and storming the gates or whatever, that might not have been something they should still be incarcerated for But if you committed violence against people, if you committed violence against law enforcement officials and you got let off, that's bad, especially when you're being let off by an individual who's supposed to be our chief law enforcement officers. Essentially, you're
the commander in chief. That's how I look at it. And the attorney general on all that stuff, you're the command in chief period. That should not have happened. Just on that front, I'll leave it at that. We'll discuss that as a later date. Say something about diversity, equity and inclusion, because I've been noticing something on the right
that's getting on my damn nerves. And I've appeared on numerous occasions on Fox News or I've appeared in numerous occasions on News Nation, CNN, a couple of times on MSNBC. I'm not ducking, I'm not how to just recently got an interview by Dave Rubin. I'm friends with Sean Hannity and Mark Levin. I know these people. Okay, let me be very very clear about what I want to say about when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion. That's making
me very very uncomfortable. I'm sick and tired of folks on the right, and I'm not talking about those individuals. I'm just talking about the right period in general. I'm sick and tired of folks bringing up DEI as if it's a bad thing to bring up. Like everybody who got a job under DEI must not have been qualified. They got it because of diversity, equity and inclusion policies
implemented into corporate American beyond stop Stop. The reason DEI existed to begin with was because there were an abundance of qualified individuals from minority communities throughout this country you didn't give a second look to because they didn't look like you. I could come with it from a world of sports, when you look at the Rooney Rule, there were black coaches that were interviewed and ultimately got jobs. Why was the Rooney Rule necessary? Because there were qualified
black coaches that were being ignored. If you're being ignored the not the opportunity to prove that you're worthy and possibly more qualified and more competent than a white counterpart, then rules and legislation need to be implemented to ensure fairness. So why you want to write preaching and speaking about DEEI in a negative way. You might actually be right in some cases, but could you at least remember why it came into existence to begin with, because you weren't
interested in being fair before. Now the left might have came about and handled it all wrong and been a bit excessive in their behavior and elevated the level of cynicism that comes attached to with DEI, But you don't get to forget what role was played that provoked the existence of DEI to begin with. That's all I'm saying. I'm an independent, as we have articulated on this show on NEWERUS occasions, I'm not sided with any side definitively. I just want to make the point that fair is fair.
There's a lot of problems that I have with and we'll continue to have and will continue to express and articulation about what we witness from the left. But I don't let you off on the right. I'm talking about those of you with mal intent. You've denied plenty of opportunity throughout history to people that come from minority communities throughout this country. That's why DEI came into existence. That's why stuff like the Rooney Rule is in existence. That's
why you had affirmative action that was in existence. A lot of things are changing in this world. It's a lot of stuff to discuss, but you don't get to forget your role in forcing that stuff to come about to begin with. You can try to gloss over history, it ain't gonna be that easy. Remember I said that, and we'll talk about that in the very near future as well.
