Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, commonly known as DEI, is being blamed by Trump and many in the MAGA world for causing many of the ills they perceive to be affecting the United States. Is DEI really that evil?

Elon Musk spoke at one of the events on the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20th 2025. During his speech he invoked a gesture that looked like the salute Nazis used to make and that Neo-Nazis use today. As is often the case in today’s divided world, people lined up on opposing sides; either defending Musk or excoriating him. I try to take a balanced look at the issue and a broader look at Musk.

I recorded this on January 20, 2025. It’s a day after the first 3 hostages were released from Gaza as part of the recently brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. It’s also the inauguration of America’s 47th president Donald J. Trump. Between the emotional high of the return of 3 young women from captivity in Gaza, concerns about freed terrorists, the future in Gaza and trepidation about a second Trump presidency it’s a real emotional roller coaster.
