During the podcast, the equity director outlined how every action at the Secret Service should be informed by DEI and claimed the ideology makes the organization stronger. Every employee should consider how every action is reflective of equity, according to the director.  Fox News' Audrey Conklin, Stepheny Price, Bailee Hill and Greg Wehner contributed to this report.

"I could talk on and on what the agency is doing to promote diversity, equity and inclusion… DEI is every action every day," he said. "So the opportunity for improvement for every employee within the Secret Service is to ask themselves, ‘What action are you doing every day?’"
