On the one year anniversary of George Floyd's death, more black people are dying, and not at the hands of the cops. The broader racial reckoning continues with propagandistic efforts to tear down America's institutions. And the New York Times notices that Democrats aren't very loud about the border anymore.

00:01:45.000Alrighty, so this week marks the one year commemoration of the death and now legally adjudicated murder of George Floyd.
00:01:53.000And the media are awash in self-referential glory.
00:01:58.000They keep talking about how wonderful they are, how they have made the world a better place through their attention on the racial reckoning.
00:02:08.000In fact, Black Lives Matter has done an awful lot of harm to the black community, to the United States at large, Now, with regard to what's going on in the Middle East, international politics, the Black Lives Matter movement has been a terrible thing for the United States.
00:02:21.000Not because of attention paid to police malfeasance and misconduct and brutality.
00:02:27.000But because the broader Black Lives Matter agenda has very little to do with protecting black lives and a lot to do with the structures of the United States and the structures of the West and tearing those down.
00:02:38.000And the practical ramifications of tearing down those structures means more dead black people.
00:02:42.000That is just the way that reality works, unfortunately, in the real world.
00:02:46.000Okay, so the New York Times commemorates the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death with an article titled, On the Ashes of Tragedy, Mixed Emotions on Anniversary of George Floyd's Death.
00:02:58.000The crowds that gathered in Minneapolis and elsewhere reflected on what has changed and what has not in America since Mr. Floyd was murdered by a police officer.
00:03:05.000It was a day of reflection, of remembrance, a time to lay flowers and say prayers, to celebrate black culture with art and music and food, and to recall the life of a man whose death one year ago shook the country and forced it to confront its painful legacy of racism and police brutality.
00:03:17.000Now, what's amazing about that, of course, is that there was not a single iota of evidence that was ever brought to show that Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd based on racial resentment.
00:03:29.000And yet it became the cause of this broader re-examination of just how terrible and racist America is.
00:03:35.000And when the New York Times says that they examined the life of George Floyd, well, they really didn't, because if you examine the life of George Floyd, it might lead you to some opposite conclusions about the value of policing.
00:03:43.000After all, George Floyd, before his tragic and untimely death, had committed a bevy of crimes for which he was correctly arrested.
00:03:50.000In Minneapolis on Tuesday, as people gathered to mark the anniversary of the police killing of George Floyd, there was space for it all.
00:03:55.000The trauma and the grief, says the New York Times.
00:03:57.000Some celebration over a murder conviction of a police officer and a measure of hope, too, that in death, Mr. Floyd, a black man, had nudged America toward more racial equality.
00:04:07.000The reality is that more black people died this year as a result of the Black Lives Matter movement completely cudgeling the police into not doing their jobs.
00:04:15.000The Black Lives Matter movement, which has fought very hard against the systematic institutions of the United States declaring them all racist at root, has made racial polarization in the country significantly worse.
00:04:29.000from The Economist shows that only 11% of Americans believe that relations between minorities and police since George Floyd's death are better.
00:04:38.000Fully 38% of Americans believe that relations between minorities and the police since Floyd's death are worse.
00:04:43.000Okay, so four times as many Americans believe that things got worse than got better with regard to relations between the cops and the black community in the United States.
00:04:52.000But the media are going to continue to celebrate this stuff, even though the ramifications of what Black Lives Matter did.
00:04:56.000I know we're supposed to just ignore the $2 billion in property damage and the skyrocketing murder rate in all of America's major cities.
00:05:02.000I know we're supposed to ignore all of that because we're supposed to pretend that if you yell at the cops enough, then magically all inequality is erased.
00:05:11.000In fact, you have exacerbated many of the underlying conditions that lead to less investment in high crime areas, in low income areas.
00:05:18.000You have exacerbated many of the conditions that lead to bad relationships between the police and local populations.
00:05:25.000Nonetheless, the media are just, they're cheering themselves because they spent the last year investing in the narrative that George Floyd's death was a referendum on what the United States means more broadly and that George Floyd's death, because it was racist without actually being racist, that is America as a whole.
00:05:42.000Even as all eyes were on Minneapolis, says the New York Times, where the governor issued a proclamation for a moment of silence lasting nine minutes and 29 seconds, the amount of time a white officer's knee remained on Mr. Floyd's neck, people gathered in remembrance all across the country to honor not just the life of Mr. Floyd, but to reflect on what has changed and what has not in America.
00:05:56.000Again, this was not honoring the life of Floyd.
00:05:58.000I mean, it was really honoring the death of Floyd, to be fair, in his commemoration of his death, not anything that he did during his life.
00:06:04.000And that is an important distinction, because if you believe that Floyd's death was a transformative moment, that's because you believe that the real problem in America Again, not a shred of evidence was provided for the idea that Derek Chauvin, the cop in the George Floyd murder, was actually a racist or did this out of racial animus.
00:06:23.000Nonetheless, the New York Times says demonstrators marched in downtown Los Angeles, Philadelphia officials planned a citywide prayer vigil, protesters in Chicago gathered to call for police reform, and Mr. Floyd's daughter Gianna was invited to appear at an Atlanta rally titled, My Daddy Changed the World.
00:06:37.000All this was happening as members of the Floyd family met privately with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House.
00:06:42.000Afterward, the White House issued a statement in which Biden said that while it has been a year since Mr. Floyd's death, the first year can still feel like they got the news a few seconds ago.
00:06:50.000Okay, so, number one, important to note that when the governor of Minneapolis, or Minnesota rather, is calling for a moment of silence lasting for nine minutes and 29 seconds, I've noticed zero moments of silence for the vast bevy of black people who have been murdered over the last year, not by cops.
00:07:09.000And that, by the way, is statistically significantly more indicative of how many black people are being murdered in the United States than the Derek Chauvin case, which is a statistical anomaly.
00:07:19.000It was an act of brutality and also a statistical anomaly.
00:07:23.000But the media, again, they have to push forward this myth that the Black Lives Matter movement has been good for America, that there's been this quote-unquote racial reckoning.
00:07:28.000And you see that word everywhere, a reckoning.
00:07:37.000But the media just keeps saying racial reckoning and what they mean by this is the entire left-wing agenda must be adopted wholesale because we have used George Floyd's death as a lever to pry open all of those institutions and then gut them.
00:07:51.000The word reckoning suggests that somebody has to be reckoned with.
00:08:02.000But then you have to look at inequality today.
00:08:04.000How much of that is caused by history and how much of that is caused by personal decision making?
00:08:08.000If you're really going to fix people's problems, you can talk about history as much as you want.
00:08:12.000But if you're talking about problems like the crime rate in black communities or the murder rate in black communities, and you say, well, that's the legacy of slavery or Jim Crow, even if you grant that premise, which is dubious, even if you grant that premise, You'd have to say the only way to stop that is for people to stop killing people.
00:08:27.000Talking about slavery and Jim Crow doesn't stop people from killing each other.
00:08:31.000The same thing is true of the single motherhood rate in the black community.
00:08:33.000If you actually want to solve the problem and create greater equality of outcome, you need people to take different actions.
00:08:39.000Talking about the racist history of the United States doesn't cause a man to now stick around after knocking up a woman.
00:08:47.000Personal decision-making has to change if you actually wish to effectuate different outcomes, but BLM is not interested in individual actions.
00:08:54.000The entire BLM movement is predicated on the idea that you don't have individual agency, that you can't make your life better, that black Americans aren't capable of making their lives better.
00:09:01.000Strangely, there's a pretty hardcore bigotry of low expectations here, a bigotry of no expectations here with regard to the left.
00:09:09.000You can't expect black Americans to act individually in good citizen fashion because of the legacy of racism.
00:09:15.000But we here, we white liberals, we can correct all of the ills of American society because we are responsible and we do have unbelievable levels of agency.
00:09:23.000It's the arrogance of the sort of Rob and D'Angelo white fragility model in which white liberals are responsible for A utopian fixing of the United States.
00:09:31.000And black Americans have no responsibility whatsoever in their individual lives to take actions that better their lives, because to even imply that would suggest that the systems in which we live ought to stand.
00:09:39.000And we'll get to what the actual impact of all this has been in the United States.
00:09:44.000And the answer is, nothing good for black Americans.
00:09:59.000First, let's talk about the fact that it's hard to keep an eye on your house all day, especially if you're not home all day.
00:10:04.000But I often want to check in on my house, make sure that my baby is doing well, make sure that I know who is stopping by the front door and dropping off packages.

00:11:05.000Okay, so the propaganda efforts that are put out by the media here, that all of America's institutions need to be completely overthrown, just in line with what Democrats have always wanted to do, apparently.
00:11:14.000This propaganda effort is being put forward with a special sort of fervor this week.
00:11:19.000So Al Sharpton and Bill de Blasio knelt for George Floyd yesterday.
00:11:23.000Al Sharpton, the idea that you're going to make race relations in America better by going to Al Sharpton, one of the great racial conflagrationists of the last half century, is utterly insane.
00:11:33.000This is a guy who was involved in the incitement of at least two racial riots.
00:11:38.000and a liar on a wide variety of other issues, including the Tijuana rally case.
00:11:42.000And yet there he is with the mayor of New York, kneeling for George Floyd, presumably to make race relations better in some way.
00:11:47.000This from the same mayor who hamstrung the police while people ran around Manhattan, breaking into stores last summer.
00:11:53.000George Floyd's murder energized and ignited a movement all over the globe.
00:12:08.000We want to see the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed by the Congress.
00:12:15.000When we saw a movement like this in the 60s, it led to the Civil Rights Act of 64.
00:12:23.000Okay, so this is what they're looking for.
00:12:26.000What they're looking for is a complete overthrow of certain legislative areas of American life.
00:12:31.000So important to note that the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which did a lot of very good things, also completely shifted the relationship between the government and the individual.
00:12:38.000For example, it completely did away with freedom of association.
00:12:42.000It actually extended into the private sphere in some pretty negative ways with long-term externalities.
00:12:46.000Christopher Caldwell discusses this in his book, The Age of Entitlement.
00:12:50.000It was really a ground shift in how America saw the role of government.
00:12:58.000Well, this is what Democrats are seeking now, is another ground shift in the role of government.
00:13:02.000So the Floyd family met with the Biden team at the White House yesterday and then emerged to say that we need more laws protecting black Americans, which is weird because we do have laws protecting black Americans.
00:13:27.000If you can make federal laws to protect the bird, which is the bald eagle, you can make federal laws to protect people of color.
00:13:36.000Okay, there are federal laws protecting people of color.
00:13:38.000It's called the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
00:13:40.000It's also a bevy of other pieces of legislation that protect black people in the United States, which is why the number of black people who are killed unarmed by the cops every year is usually fewer than 20.
00:13:48.000Okay, not only that, we've had ground shifts in the treatment of discrimination in American life, like on a private level.
00:13:56.000Discrimination against black people is considered the worst thing that you can do in America.
00:14:00.000And I think in many ways, properly so.
00:14:03.000There's broad agreement on this, and yet none of that apparently makes a difference.
00:14:06.000It's the exact same thing as it was in 1960, when we were emerging from actual legally mandated discrimination in the South.
00:14:13.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden was being all weird, so he met with George Floyd's daughter, and he got strange, because this is what our dottered president does.
00:14:21.000First thing she did when she ran in was throw her arms around me, give me a big hug.
00:14:25.000And, uh, we wanted to sit on my lap and, uh, we spent, uh, she also, uh, loved the idea that, she said, I'm really hungry.
00:14:35.000And so, she said, you have any snacks?
00:14:42.000He's rambling about how George Floyd's daughter wanted snacks or something?
00:14:45.000OK, so what is the Biden administration doing?
00:14:47.000Well, according to Fox News dot com, the Department of State under President Biden issued guidance to all diplomatic and consular posts and encouraging officials of support, official displays of support for Black Lives Matter.
00:14:58.000On the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder on May 25th and beyond, according to a leaked memo from an anonymous State Department source, the department wrote that it, quote, supports the use of the term Black Lives Matter in messaging content as well as in speeches and foreign diplomatic engagements on May 25th and beyond.
00:15:46.000But black lives matter is semantically overloaded because of course what people really mean when they say black lives matter is that black people are specifically targeted in the United States by the authorities.
00:15:54.000And then there is the argument that all inequality is the result of discrimination, which is similarly untrue.
00:16:00.000So when you fly the Black Lives Matter flag, what you're really doing is imbibing that message and then saying that that is the message of America, which of course it is not.
00:16:06.000In fact, it runs directly counter to the messages of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence.
00:16:11.000We've seen the use of flags that are not the American flag at embassies, and I object to all of them.
00:16:17.000We should not be flying gay pride flags or transgender pride flags or BLM flags or Christian flags outside the American embassy.
00:16:23.000We have a flag, it's called the American flag, that's the only one that should be flying outside of American embassies.
00:16:28.000In any case, the memo acts as an authorization for agency higher-ups to display the BLM flag on the external-facing flagpole to any chiefs of mission who determine such a display is appropriate in light of local conditions.
00:16:40.000Antony Blinken has also previously authorized embassies to fly the LGBTQ pride flag from May 17th through the end of June in recognition of Pride Month celebrations.
00:16:48.000Again, the overt politicization of what should be apolitical things in American life, like the American flag, is pretty incredible.
00:16:54.000Okay, so what has been the actual impact of BLM?
00:17:12.000But that means that when I lie down at night, put my head on that pillow, I need to be sleeping on a mattress that is super comfortable and made just for me.
00:17:32.000They have several different mattress models to choose from.
00:17:34.000They have soft, medium, and firm mattresses.
00:17:36.000Mattress is great for cooling you down if you sleep hot.
00:17:38.000Even a Helix Plus mattress for plus-sized folks.
00:17:40.000So, if you're looking for a mattress, you take the quiz, you order the mattress you're matched to, the mattress comes right to your doorstep for free.
00:17:45.000You don't ever need to go to a mattress store again.
00:17:47.000Helix is awesome, but you don't need to take my word for it.
00:17:50.000Helix was awarded the number one best mattress pick of 2020 by GQ and Wired Magazine.
00:17:54.000Just head on over to helixsleep.com slash Ben.
00:18:42.000I mean, just back in late March, the New York Times ran a piece.
00:18:46.000Remember, today, the New York Times runs a piece about the wonderful events that are taking place all across America to commemorate the death of George Floyd and America's racial reckoning and all of this.
00:18:54.000Well, you know what's happening at George Floyd Square?
00:18:56.000People getting shot at George Floyd Square.
00:19:48.000The cops, of course, have been blocked off from this area, is the answer.
00:19:51.000This place has become utterly lawless.
00:19:53.000According to NPR, at least one person was shot Tuesday near the Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd was murdered by police one year ago, an event that set off international protests over racial justice.
00:20:01.000Minneapolis police said they responded just after 10 a.m.
00:20:04.000to reports of shots fired near Elliott Avenue, which is part of an area known as George Floyd Square.
00:20:08.000A short time later, a person showed up at Abbott Northwestern Hospital suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, according to authorities.
00:20:29.000The secular religion that is leftism requires martyrs, and it requires acts of fealty, and it requires acts of faith.
00:20:37.000And those acts of fealty and faith include the sainting of victims in American society and the blaming of the entire system at large.
00:20:44.000I mean, you saw this with Nancy Pelosi literally thanking George Floyd for dying after the conviction of Derek Chauvin, which is an unbelievable thing.
00:20:52.000I mean, that equivalent to sort of the Christian thought that Jesus died for your sins, Nancy Pelosi suggested that George Floyd died for America's sins, then thanked him for his death.
00:21:01.000I mean, this sort of thinking is so perverse in the United States, it's beyond reckoning.
00:21:07.000The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New York Times says, The New Ten months ago, Minneapolis and the country seemed to coalesce around the belief that policing needed an overhaul.
00:21:36.000Now, with the murder trial of the officer who knelt on Floyd's neck scheduled to begin on Monday, remember this was written a couple of months ago, the struggle over what to overhaul has left Minneapolis at war with itself.
00:21:46.000The square itself has turned into a powder keg, according to the New York Times.
00:21:52.000Hone in on the four neighborhoods surrounding the George Floyd Square.
00:21:57.000In those areas, Powderhorn Park, Central, Bryant, and Bancroft, violent crime shot up by 66% last year, according to stats from the police department.
00:22:04.000This year, so far, little has changed.
00:22:06.000The area has become something of an autonomous zone, with barriers and signs calling it the Free State of George Floyd.
00:22:10.000Well, if this is the Free State of George Floyd, it looks a lot more like a place for gang warfare.
00:22:15.000It looks like a hellscape if this is the free state of George Floyd.
00:22:19.000People are literally firing shots at George Floyd's memorial on the one-year commemoration of his death.
00:22:24.000And this is the Black Lives Matter movement that was supposed to make America much, much better?
00:22:27.000Okay, again, show me the evidence that America has gotten better in some way over the course of the last year.
00:22:33.000And when you say awareness has been raised, awareness of what exactly?
00:22:45.000What the media really want you to be aware of is a false story about what the United States is and what the United States should be.
00:22:51.000When they say that America has gotten better, they don't mean that conditions on the ground have gotten better for anybody.
00:22:54.000They don't care that conditions have gotten significantly worse for black Americans on the ground in America's major cities in the highest crime areas.
00:23:01.000What they mean when they say that America has gotten better is they mean it is easier for them to foment an agenda that tears down America's institutions.
00:23:08.000They mean that they believe that they have made political headway in tearing away the systems of the United States and constitutional systems and baseline individual liberties.
00:23:19.000Things like due process and equality of rights before law.
00:23:22.000When they say things have gotten better, what they mean is that they've been able to forward their agenda.
00:23:27.000Not that things have actually gotten better for black Americans.
00:23:30.000Because they pretty obviously and statistically have not.
00:23:33.000Okay, in just one second, we're gonna get to exactly what I mean.
00:23:38.000And again, they're using this to foment exactly, right, it's George, it's the anniversary of George Floyd's death, and therefore, you can't do anything the left doesn't want you to do today, right?
00:23:58.000So, the idea here is that because George Floyd was murdered by a police officer, we are not allowed to vote against any black person for a government office, no matter how ridiculously unqualified, like Kristen Clark.
00:24:11.000Here's Dana Milbank from the Washington Post.
00:24:13.000Republicans chose a special way of observing the anniversary of George Floyd's murder.
00:24:17.000They tried to vote down a highly qualified black woman who has been nominated to run the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
00:24:21.000From I can't breathe to I won't confirm.
00:24:24.000So he is now equating the death of George Floyd to a government nominee by the Biden administration who not only is utterly unqualified, but is a garbage nominee being voted against by Republicans.
00:24:36.000If you vote against a black person for a high position of power in the United States government because her qualifications are crap, then according to Dana Milbank, this is the equivalent of you kneeling on the neck of a black person until they die.
00:24:48.000According to the Washington Post, President Biden had set a deadline of Tuesday for Congress to enact legislation to counter police brutality.
00:24:54.000But while the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act almost three months ago, Republican objections have bottled up negotiations in the Senate.
00:25:01.000Chuck, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office said the timing of Tuesday's vote was a coincidence.
00:25:05.000Still, Democrats were happy to point out the convergence.
00:25:09.000The Floyd murder by a Minneapolis police officer set off a fight for justice, Schumer said on the Senate floor.
00:25:13.000And here in the Senate, we will continue that fight when we vote to confirm the first black woman ever to lead the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
00:25:21.000Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, Majority Whip, also cited the Floyd anniversary and urging his colleagues to consider the historic importance of this moment.
00:25:28.000It's not about making life better for black people.
00:25:30.000It's a political club for Democrats, period.
00:25:34.000Which is why Democrats went so soft on the BLM rioters.
00:25:37.000Because these were just people, of course, who were overzealous, and simply too committed, and maybe a little too enraged.
00:25:42.000But they had the right idea, and that idea was to create running room for Democrats to push whatever agenda items they wished to pursue.
00:25:49.000But according to Dana Milbank, it's just racism.
00:25:51.000Republicans considered, and then all but one, Susan Collins of Maine, voted not even to allow Clark a confirmation vote, and when that failed, voted by an identical tally against confirming Clark.
00:25:59.000Not a single Republican spoke against Clark on the floor Tuesday, not even when Zurbin yielded them for a final summation.
00:26:07.000Okay, so what exactly are Kristen Clark's qualifications?
00:26:12.000David Harsanyi has written about this repeatedly for National Review.
00:26:15.000Let me explain why Kristen Clark did not deserve a vote.
00:26:20.000Kristen Clarke, Joe Biden's nominee for Assistant Attorney General of the United States, once promoted racist pseudoscientific quackery, arguing that the human brain was structured in a way that makes black people superior to white people and that human mental processes in the brain have chemicals that imbue one race with superior physical and mental abilities and spiritual abilities.
00:26:37.000Rather than owning up to a youthful relationship with radicalism, Clarke, who made these comments in the Harvard Crimson as a 19-year-old, claims her racist diatribe was merely a parody, mocking the controversial book, The Bell Curve.
00:26:48.000What I was seeking to do is hold up a mirror, she says.
00:26:50.000Purely by chance, Clark also happened to invite a Holocaust-denying fraud named Anthony Martin, then a professor at Wellesley College, whose primary assigned textbook was called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, which blamed Jews for the slave trade, and who wrote The Jewish Onslaught, published by Louis Farrakhan.
00:27:04.000She invited that guy to speak at Harvard.
00:27:06.000At the same time Clark was writing about black supremacy, she was calling Martin an intelligent well-versed black intellectual who bases his information on indisputable fact.
00:27:14.000Then last year, she wrote a piece for Newsweek titled, I prosecuted police killings.
00:27:20.000Okay, not only that, she suggested that Jussie Smollett, when the police asked for Jussie Smollett's phone and asked for evidence, that they were being racist.
00:27:30.000Okay, this person is not qualified to lead the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ.
00:27:35.000But according to the media, remember, because of the racial reckoning, to vote against her would be an act of racism.
00:27:41.000And this is really why people on the left think that the world's gotten better over the course of the last year, when by all available evidence, for black Americans, it has not.
00:27:48.000The answer is because they think that the agenda that they are pushing is going to be fomented by the Black Lives Matter movement, even if it means that more black people are going to die in cities, and even if it means that education gets worse, and even if it means that racial polarization gets worse.
00:28:08.000Which is why they've been using this quote-unquote racial reckoning to push forward things like the 1619 project.
00:28:12.000It's why they've been using this quote-unquote racial reckoning to push forward critical race theory in schools.
00:28:18.000And the media are fully invested in this.
00:28:19.000The reason the media are in full celebration mode one year after George Floyd's death, when things have gotten markedly worse for black Americans living in high-crime areas, is because they believe that they have found the lever for change.
00:28:41.000Anti-racism teaching ban divides Oklahoma ahead of Tulsa massacre centennial.
00:28:45.000If you just read that headline, what you would assume is a bunch of racists in Oklahoma want to make sure that no one ever learns about racism in Oklahoma right about the same time as the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa-Oklahoma massacre.
00:28:57.000Okay, that's not what's going on at all.
00:28:59.000Oklahoma just pushed forward a bill that said that you can't educate kids to feel, quote, discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress solely due to race or gender.
00:29:11.000That doesn't mean you can't teach American history.
00:29:12.000It means you're not allowed to say that kids are beneficiaries of white supremacy and therefore should feel guilty about their own race.
00:29:19.000Because that's what critical race theory effectively argues, is that all white people, no matter who you are, are beneficiaries of evil systems in the United States, and therefore ought to feel guilty about their race.
00:29:29.000It is a hallmark of critical race theory, which of course argues that racism is not abnormal.
00:29:37.000It is ingrained in white populations, and that every white person is a secret, both psychological and material beneficiary of white privilege.
00:29:46.000But according to Politico, it's very bad to say this.
00:29:49.000Senator Kevin Matthews said, quote, The biggest problem is we would pass legislation that says we wouldn't be able to teach diversity, equity and inclusion in schools.
00:29:59.000What it says is that you are not allowed to teach racial discrimination on the basis of race.
00:30:03.000As educators have sought to explore U.S.
00:30:07.000history with lessons increasingly informed by slavery, Dred Scott, and Jim Crow, particularly after George Floyd's killing by police last year, there is the obligatory political reference, conservatives have moved to block political interpretations of critical race theory from classrooms.
00:30:20.000Many Republicans across the country and in Washington have blasted it as racist, liberal indoctrination.
00:30:24.000Well, that's because that is what it is.
00:30:27.000And nonetheless, Politico says the reason they're doing this is because of the Tulsa race massacre.
00:30:33.000It takes a long time for these legislative proposals to finally reach the light of day.
00:30:38.000But the goal here is that if you can link this to George Floyd, which everybody agrees is bad, then that means that you're racist to oppose what Democrats want to do.
00:30:46.000This is why you see Ta-Nehisi Coates, for example, suggesting that it is racism.
00:30:50.000Ta-Nehisi Coates is one of the great race grifters in American life.
00:30:53.000He's a purple writer who is extremely vague in his thinking, which is why he can never peg down exactly what it is that he is saying, and instead reverts to very Very evocative phraseology.
00:31:06.000Things like the impact on black bodies, which he uses, it's a phraseology he uses frequently, or when he talks about the systemic racism that has wrought its legacy on black Americans.
00:31:18.000Ta-Nehisi Coates' favorite routine in his writing is that he takes a bad thing that happened in 1880 and then he fast-forwards directly to 2021 and says that nothing has changed, which of course is a lie.
00:31:27.000In any case, here's Ta-Nehisi Coates defending critical race theory on the basis that somehow this is gonna make the country a better place.
00:31:33.000No matter how discomforting an idea is, no matter how an idea makes you feel or whatever, when you see the state using policy to remove those notions from the public square, you've got a problem of a different order.
00:31:50.000Again, I just want to be really, really clear.
00:31:56.000But when you see the President of the United States directing an executive order Okay, directing an executive order to a journalistic project?
00:32:06.000No, he put together an executive order, putting together what he called the 1776 Commission.
00:32:11.000The 1776 Commission thoroughly debunks the 1619 Project, which is garbage pseudo-history.
00:32:17.000The 1619 Project is filled with lies and prevarications, as everyone who has studied it knows.
00:32:22.000Anyone who has spent any amount of time knows that it is filled with conjecture and foolishness.
00:32:26.000And none of that is to deny the evils of slavery or the impact that history has on the present.
00:32:31.000The 1619 Project, however, is rife with historical inaccuracy and full-scale lies about the founding of the United States and American ideals.
00:32:39.000But to oppose that apparently means that you are in league with George Floyd's murderers or something.
00:32:45.000That is why the left believes that things have gotten better over the past year when there is no evidence that things have gotten better over the past year.
00:32:50.000By the way, this is being crammed down on your kids.
00:32:52.000According to Daily Wire, an Oregon school board updated a policy to mandate that each classroom in the school district display a Black Lives Matter and progressive pride flag or poster.
00:33:00.000On May 6th, the Gresham Barlow School Board in Gresham, Oregon updated the district's flag displays and salutes policy to reflect the progressive values of the board.
00:33:08.000The proposal would require the school board to provide an American flag, pride flag, and BLM flag for each classroom, because if we are talking about messages that every American has to be forced to embrace, we are now talking about the radical LGBTQ plus agenda, the BLM agenda, and the American flag are all interchangeable, according to the left, which is complete crap, considering that the documents of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence are marked rebukes to many elements of that agenda.
00:33:35.000According to the policy, the district shall obtain and display a U.S.
00:33:38.000flag, a progressive pride flag or poster, and a Black Lives Matter flag or poster of an appropriate size for each classroom.
00:33:50.000Apparently, other members of the school board suggested that students recite Land Acknowledgement once a week.
00:34:00.000And recite the Black National Anthem as well.
00:34:01.000All of this is divisive and makes the country worse, but of course, the goal is to divide the country further so that you can then cram down a policy from above.
00:34:08.000A policy that rectifies all racial imbalances.
00:34:11.000It's just nasty, nasty stuff here from the radical left.
00:34:17.000Again, using George Floyd's death as an opportunity, not to make life better for Americans, but to tear down institutions that, by the way, have made Black Americans the richest Black people on the face of the earth.
00:34:28.000There is no country in which black Americans are freer, and there is no country in which black Americans are richer.
00:34:33.000That does not deny the evil history of the United States with regard to slavery or Jim Crow.
00:34:37.000That is a recognition of facts on the ground today.
00:34:40.000There is, in fact, a giant and thriving black middle class in the country.
00:34:42.000I know the media want you to believe that the only black people in America are people who are either extremely wealthy or extremely poor, but that is not true in the slightest.
00:34:51.000And it's a slander on the very many black Americans who have made tremendous economic progress in the United States.
00:34:57.000It's also a slander on the system which allows people to make economic progress regardless of race.
00:35:02.000In fact, if race were the great indicator here, then there would be no reason why Nigerian Americans, for example, are better educated than the general population and have a higher household income.
00:35:11.000In any case, the media continue to push the idea that things have gotten better over the past year because, again, it's not about whether things got better.
00:35:18.000It's about whether they can push forward the agenda they want to push forward.
00:35:30.000First, let's talk about the fact that if you are using a free email service from a big tech email provider, it's really not super free because you're paying with your privacy.
00:35:39.000Since those companies have access to every email you send and receive, big tech can sell your data to the highest bidder.
00:35:44.000That's why I trust Startmail to secure my email.
00:36:08.000And StartMail uses their servers, not big tech servers, which means they cannot be put out of business and they are backed by the most stringent privacy laws in the world.
00:36:16.000So I mean, this is a great way of protecting your personal privacy.
00:36:19.000Again, a lot of people are using Gmail because it's free and because it's convenient.
00:36:22.000Yeah, but the reason it's free is because they are monetizing your data.
00:36:25.000And again, you don't want those people having your data.
00:36:27.000I mean, you're putting your most private stuff in your emails.
00:36:30.000I don't trust big tech, you shouldn't either.

00:36:54.000Alrighty, we're gonna get to more in just one second.
00:36:56.000First, after a year of lockdown, Prices across the country are rising in tandem with leftist insanity.
00:37:01.000You're probably ready to hear some voices of reason make sense of it.
00:37:03.000So, tonight, throw out that mask and join me, Jeremy Boring, Michael Molls, Matt Walsh, and Andrew Klavan for another cigar and sanity-packed episode of Backstage.
00:37:14.000Central on dailywire.com and on our YouTube channel, Daily Wire.
00:37:17.000Also, if you've ever imagined touring the DailyWire headquarters, sitting front row at a live Candace show, hanging out with Candace Owens herself, today could be your lucky day.
00:37:26.000When you sign up as a DailyWire member with code VIP, you'll get 20% off your new membership, and you'll be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip to DailyWire Studios to see Candace live.
00:37:38.000Not only will you be meeting Candice, you'll get an inside look at her studio, our office, front row seats to watch her take down leftists live, and in action on her talk show, Candice.
00:38:21.000Democrats, once outraged, take a quieter approach to migrant children.
00:38:24.000Yeah, that's a real headline from the New York Times.
00:38:27.000So you may have been wondering, you, American citizen, why it was that AOC was going down to the border and putting on a spontaneous white outfit and standing spontaneously in front of a chain-link fence, spontaneously in front of a giant empty plaza, spontaneously in front of a child-holding facility, and why a photographer was spontaneously there taking spontaneous pictures of AOC spontaneously crying spontaneously while looking spontaneously into camera.
00:38:52.000You may have been wondering why she was doing that, but She's got nothing to say.
00:38:57.000Like, she's not down at the border right now, and there's a multiple of the number of children being held in detention facilities by the Biden administration amidst a COVID pandemic that is still hitting all the people who are migrating over the border.
00:39:08.000You may have wondered, well, the New York Times has her answer.
00:39:11.000They're just taking a quieter approach, you see.
00:39:14.000They're still mad, you see, but they're quieter about it.
00:39:29.000According to Eileen Sullivan at the New York Times.
00:39:32.000House Democrats, who led an angry charge against the Trump administration's treatment of migrant children, have taken a much quieter tack since concerns began emerging about conditions at some of the emergency shelters set up by the Biden administration to deal with minors at the southern border.
00:39:44.000Where once only Twitter assaults and dressings down at House hearings would suffice, Democratic lawmakers are voicing worries privately to administration officials and the small staff at DHHS, which oversees the care.
00:39:55.000If problems persist, the lawmakers say they call again.
00:40:31.000According to Joaquin Castro, a Democrat of Texas, the difference is you have an administration who wants to solve a lot of these challenges, and their heart is in a much better— Oh, their heart is in a better place!
00:40:44.000Representative Veronica Escobar, Democrat of Texas, said she has so far been impressed with the administration officials working on the issue.
00:40:50.000They have a solid vision and a heart of gold.
00:40:52.000They're whores with a heart of gold, and they seem to want to do the right thing, which is different from what I experienced during the Trump administration, said Escobar.
00:40:58.000During the Trump administration, it was all excuses or, sorry, this is the way it is.
00:41:10.000It's because Democrats have a heart of gold.
00:41:13.000By the way, what is the Biden administration actually doing?
00:41:15.000They're incentivizing massive illegal immigration across the border.
00:41:18.000Today, Washington Post, at the detention centers and county jails that the Trump administration once filled with immigrants facing deportations, thousands of beds are now empty.
00:41:26.000The immigration and customs enforcement officers that President Donald Trump lavished with praise have far less to do on the streets of the U.S.
00:41:32.000Under the new Biden administration rules curtailing immigration enforcement, ICE carried out fewer than 3,000 deportations last month, the lowest levels on record.
00:41:41.000The agency's 6,000 officers currently average one arrest every two months.
00:41:46.000ICE under President Biden is an agency on probation.
00:41:49.000The new administration has rejected calls from some Democrats to eliminate the agency, but Biden has placed ICE deportation officers on a leash so tight, some say their work is being functionally abolished.
00:41:58.000Immigration advocacy groups and lawyers who wield significant influence in the Biden White House are pushing to eliminate more detention facilities and reduce deportations even further, despite a 20-year high in legal border crossings.
00:42:08.000So you know why Democrats aren't worried about all these children being held in migrant facilities?
00:42:12.000Because they're very much in favor of the open border policy being pursued by the Biden administration.
00:42:16.000Once the Biden administration says to ICE, you cannot deport people who are crossing the border illegally, they're de facto issuing a come on in announcement.
00:42:45.000That's why they're quote-unquote quieter, because they like the broader agenda.
00:42:47.000They don't care that kids are being held in inhumane conditions on the border, because the broader agenda, which is to get more illegal immigrants into the country, is something that Democrats support.
00:42:55.000As always, real-time suffering means nothing to Democrats.
00:42:57.000It's the long-term utopian vision that means everything to Democrats.
00:43:02.000The Biden administration is preparing to release its first Department of Homeland Security budget request this week.
00:43:06.000Immigrant advocates want deep cuts to ICE.
00:43:09.000Deep cuts to ICE in the middle of a vast upswell in illegal immigration cut the agency responsible for deportations.
00:43:16.000DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced plans last week to shutter two ICE detention centers.
00:43:21.000But he says he wants to reorient ICE, not shrink it.
00:43:23.000He said, I really am focused on it becoming a premier national security and law enforcement agency.
00:43:27.000I really want to elevate all of the other work ICE does and also ensure that its civil immigration work is well-focused in the service of the national security and public safety mission.
00:43:37.000Under Biden's new rules, deportation officers must seek written authorization from senior level supervisors to arrest anyone who is not a recent border crosser, a national security threat, or an aggravated felon.
00:43:49.000So if you've committed a misdemeanor, You're fine.
00:43:52.000If you commit a felony, but you're not considered an aggravated felon, you're still fine.
00:43:56.000So long as you came here a little while ago.
00:43:58.000Before placing a detainer on an immigrant in a jail or a prison, so these are people who have already been arrested, essentially asking another law enforcement agency to hold that person until ICE can assume custody, officers must also seek approval from one of the agency's most senior regional directors.
00:44:12.000So it used to be that automatically, if somebody was arrested and they were an illegal immigrant, ICE would put an automatic detainer request in with local law enforcement to say we can deport these people as opposed to keeping them in American jails.
00:44:23.000Now, Biden wants you to have to go to your supervisor to allow this, which effectively means a lot of people who are felons, people who have committed crimes in the United States, will not be deported.
00:44:33.000ICE officials, frustrated with the changes, describe a workplace environment where officers spend time doing paperwork, idling or working out, more fearful of facing reprimand for making an arrest than not making one.
00:44:41.000So basically, they're doing to ICE what they have done to the cops, and the predictable result is more crime.
00:44:46.000This is not a shock in any way, shape, or form, but don't worry, things are getting better, guys.
00:44:49.000According to the New York Times, Democrats are quiet because everybody in the administration has a heart of gold.
00:44:57.000By the way, a little bit of disparate treatment of crime?
00:44:59.000You notice there's a big story out right now about how a grand jury has convened in New York with regard to President Trump, and how Letitia James, the Attorney General of the state of New York, came into office pledging to go after Trump.
00:45:09.000She didn't say what crime he'd committed, but she was pledged to go after him, basically admitting that it was a political prosecution from the very beginning.
00:45:17.000The media are over the moon about law enforcement with regard to Trump, when we don't even know what crimes he supposedly has committed here.
00:45:23.000But when it comes to actual people committing actual crimes, the answer is defund the police, Make sure that Kristen Clarke, who's a radical with regards to the cops, is in charge of investigating the police and ensuring civil rights at the DOJ and defund ICE.
00:45:38.000Remember that time when this was supposed to be a moderate administration?
00:45:59.000It is created by this administration and by the Democrats and by the media.
00:46:03.000There is a racial polarization crisis in the country fomented by the media.
00:46:06.000There's an illegal immigration crisis fomented by the media, fomented by this administration.
00:46:10.000But you know, it is the one year anniversary of George Floyd, so I guess we're not supposed to talk about any of that.
00:46:14.000All right, meanwhile, when we speak of media misdirection.
00:46:18.000Gonna talk a little bit about Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:46:20.000So, Marjorie Taylor Greene made a couple of statements over the past 48 hours.
00:46:25.000So, one of them was a statement on Twitter, and the other one of them was a statement that she made on David Brody's show on Real America's Voice.
00:46:34.000I commented yesterday on the radio show about the Real America's Voice statement.
00:46:37.000Her tweet on Twitter was basically just doubling down on those particular comments.
00:46:42.000Hey, so here was Marjorie Taylor Greene on David Brody's show yesterday, making a Holocaust comparison and reference with regard to masking that makes no sense and is kind of insane.
00:46:53.000You know, we can look back in a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany.
00:47:08.000And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.
00:47:12.000Okay, no, that's not precisely the kind of stuff that Nancy Pelosi is talking about, as I noted yesterday. And then, of course, she doubled down on this on Twitter because everybody doubles down on everything on Twitter. This is the new strategy on Twitter. Right?
00:47:24.000She suggested on Twitter that basically the same thing, that the that that vaccine passports are equivalent to the the gold star. It's a yellow star. But she called it the gold star and that that this is like what Nazis did.
00:47:42.000And so I talked about this on Twitter.
00:47:45.000That this is crazy, what she's saying right here.
00:47:48.000And naturally, the Republican Party came out and they said, this is crazy talk, right?
00:47:52.000I mean, comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust or suggesting that Nancy Pelosi's House policy on masking on the floor is equivalent to sending Jews on trains to gas chambers, or it's leading to sending Jews on trains to gas chambers.
00:49:11.000And then beyond that, put aside the Holocaust references, Democrats, including the President of the United States, suggested, for example, that Georgia voting law was Jim Crow, which is, again, an overt historical lie that demeans Jim Crow and presents Jim Crow as something that apparently is not that serious.
00:49:27.000If it's just like the Georgia voting law, it's ridiculous, right?
00:49:36.000The reason that the media are paying outsized attention To Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments is because they don't want to talk about the overt anti-Semitism of the Democratic Party at this point.
00:49:46.000Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments on masking and the Holocaust are going to get precisely zero Jews beaten in the streets of New York.
00:49:52.000Ilhan Omar's comments and AOC's comments and Ayanna Pressley's comments And the comments of members of the media who are overtly pushing pro-Hamas talking points.
00:50:00.000That does get Jews beaten in the streets of New York.
00:50:03.000It does get Jews threatened on the streets of Miami.
00:50:06.000It does get a rabbi in my community threatened by a guy wearing a Hamas headband.
00:50:11.000Okay, so, but the media are, it's amazing to watch the media jump on the Marjorie Taylor Greene thing because she provided them the opening, right?
00:50:17.000She said this, and so they're like, ah, we can condemn anti-Semitism.
00:50:20.000First of all, I'm not sure that her comment, this one, right, the Jew laser thing is anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
00:50:26.000Bad Holocaust comparisons are absurd and deranged, but they are not de facto anti-Semitic, right?
00:50:32.000People make bad historical comparisons all the time, it happens routinely.
00:50:35.000But, The reason the media are focusing on this is that they can say that they don't like anti-semitism while completely letting the squad off scot-free.
00:50:43.000The squad has participated in blood libels here.
00:50:45.000They've suggested that Israel is targeting Palestinian children.
00:50:50.000It is a blood libel against the Jewish state.
00:50:53.000They've suggested that because Israel has an imbalance in military power, Israel's citizens should be living under the threat of random rocket fire.
00:51:00.000They've suggested sympathy for a Hamas terror group that explicitly calls for the abolition of the State of Israel and running the Jews into the sea.
00:51:24.000But the reason that the Democrats keep pairing anti-Semitism with Islamophobia is to justify the anti-Semitism.
00:51:30.000Their claim is that if you are pro-Israel, this means that you are by nature Islamophobic, And therefore, if you're Islamophobic, an attack on you is really not anti-Semitism.
00:51:38.000It's really just a form of defending Muslims.
00:51:41.000That is the perverse logic that is being put forward by Democrats on the radical left today.
00:51:46.000The media refused to pay attention to this.
00:51:48.000The New York Times, as far as I'm aware, has run precisely zero stories on the radical uptick in anti-Semitism in their news section in the United States.
00:51:55.000Instead, they printed, literally today, the New York Times, a map of Israel that is so factually incorrect that when MSNBC put it out there in 2015, the same map, they had to apologize for saying it was factually incorrect.
00:52:09.000There's a map that showed all of Israel as Palestine and then it's shrinking down Palestine into these little dots.
00:52:14.000It's just a, it's a lie, it's not true.
00:52:16.000The New York Times pressed it forward anyway.
00:52:18.000They're printing pieces by actual spokespeople for terrorist organizations like the Palestine Liberation Organization.
00:52:26.000The media have nothing to say about this because the media are in favor of it.
00:52:31.000Last night, Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer did a full segment on Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments, which were condemned, by the way, by Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, and by the Senate Minority Leader.
00:52:40.000I've yet to see a single Democrat come out and actually condemn by name Ilhan Omar and her radically anti-Semitic comments, or Rashida Tlaib and her radically anti-Semitic comments, Or the apartheid state nonsense of Ayanna Pressley?
00:53:10.000I don't think that they are fomenting anti-Semitism in the United States that results in Jews being beaten on the streets of New York.
00:53:16.000I know Jews who are being beaten on the streets of New York today.
00:53:19.000They are being beaten by pro-Palestinian activists.
00:53:22.000Who believe the same things that the editorial board of the New York Times believes, apparently.
00:53:26.000But CNN, they're very upset about what they perceive to be light treatment of anti-Semitism when it's Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:53:33.000Again, it ain't masking advocate, anti-masking advocates who are beating Jews today.
00:53:36.000But here's Wolf Blitzer getting very teary-eyed while simultaneously providing coverage for a network that does cover for Hamas all the damn time.
00:53:44.000After the third time she was given a chance to either recant or retract or clarify, she tripled down on these repulsive comments, Wolf.
00:53:55.000Yeah, I mean, it's really sick when you think about it.
00:53:57.000For you and me, it's not just political.
00:53:59.000It's not just the story we're covering.
00:54:01.000This is a very personal issue, given the fact that both of us, we lost family during the Holocaust.
00:54:08.000Being gassed, which is what my great-grandparents were, is a whole different thing.
00:54:12.000And to compare that to the notion of public health...
00:54:16.000And wearing a mask is just beyond the pale.
00:54:19.000Okay, so they're very, very upset about what Marjorie Taylor Greene... How about what Hamas says?
00:54:25.000Seriously, Wolf Blitzer covers this conflict regularly on his program.
00:54:28.000Does he ever talk about how upset he is that he had relatives who died in the Holocaust, and that his parents were Holocaust survivors?
00:54:34.000Does he talk about the fact that Hamas explicitly calls for genocide against Jews?
00:54:40.000Does he talk about that and how upsetting that must be as the child of Holocaust?
00:54:44.000Does he ever talk about Democratic Party members providing de facto support for Hamas?
00:54:48.000Literally trying to cut off funding for Iron Dome in the middle of the war?
00:54:52.000Does he talk about people in the Democratic Party overtly lying about what the Jews are doing in Israel?
00:55:00.000About how the Jews are participating in an apartheid state and attempting to target Palestinian children?
00:55:08.000When it comes to the media, first priority, protect the Democratic Party.
00:55:10.000So anti-Semitism is only worth noting, even if it isn't, even if it's just crazy and not anti-Semitic, that taking the Holocaust lightly is worthy of note when it is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:55:22.000But when it is entire marches taking place in the streets across the world in which Israel is being compared to Hitler, nothing.
00:56:02.000Their agenda is perfectly clear all the way through.
00:56:04.000Two things, as always, can be true at once.
00:56:06.000I can say that I don't like Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments.
00:56:08.000I can say that I think that they are demented crazy.
00:56:11.000And I can also say that the true threat to America's Jews is not coming from Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:56:15.000The true threat to America's Jews, based on stats, based on evidence, based on what's going on today, are anti-Semites who agree with the Democratic Party's radical left position on Israel.
00:56:27.000Being fomented by members of the media who overtly push propaganda on behalf of genocidal anti-Jewish terrorists.
00:56:35.000Well, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.
00:56:37.000In the meantime, go check out the Michael Moll's show where he discusses George Will's kind of crazy comments from the other day comparing 1-6 to 9-11.
00:56:43.000He says we should remember January 6th like 9-11, which is nuts.
00:56:48.000You can hear more details about this story over on Michael's show that is available right now.
