00:00I push back. We don't have a narrower mandate. We have a broader mandate.
00:04How so?
00:04Yeah, well, I understand that people have pitched that the civil rights agenda of the Trump administration has narrowed the
00:10aperture.
00:10And I would say it's widening it.
00:12We are continuing to do discrimination work on behalf of workers of every single race and both sexes.
00:18But we're not going to only pick and choose historically underrepresented groups or only women.
00:24We're going to say it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman, whether you're black, white, Asian, Hispanic.
00:29You pick it. We are going to be fighting for you based on the merit of your claim.
00:34So, again, we're continuing to have record recoveries.
00:38If we had narrowed the aperture, you wouldn't get that.
00:40We just recovered. The vast majority of our work is confidential.
00:44We have a small portion of our work that goes into litigation, but most of it happens before we ever
00:48get to litigation.
00:49We got recovered the highest amount of money for victims of discrimination in the agency's history in 60 years, $528
00:56million.
00:56If we had narrowed the aperture, how would we recover that?
01:00So by saying not narrowing, so you're not prioritizing one group over the other?
01:06No, we're working.
01:07But look, we are opening the door to more people.
01:11There you go.
01:11Ah.
