The Ben Shapiro Show - The Unbearable Whiteness Of Being | Ep. 1053

00:00:00.000 The National Museum of African American History and Culture puts forth an anti-racist display that sounds kind of like white supremacy.

00:00:06.000 Ilhan Omar complains that everyone is a racist and President Trump changes his campaign manager.

00:00:11.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:11.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:21.000 You have a right to privacy protected at expressvpn.com slash Ben.

00:00:26.000 So, yesterday, I was just kind of trolling around on Twitter, as per our usual arrangement, and I came across this insane display from the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

00:00:37.000 And it really does speak to our bizarre cultural moment, because the fact is that the new anti-racist movement, the sort of Ibram Kendi, Robin DiAngelo, anti-racism movement that has become so popular on the left, that has really overwhelmed The old version of what racism was.

00:00:50.000 Racism used to be defined, as we've been talking about, as you believe in the supremacy or inferiority of a group based on characteristics they cannot control, like skin color.

00:00:58.000 This was defined as white supremacy or as racism, depending on who was being the racist and who was being the victim.

00:01:03.000 Well, that has now been changed to the entire system is racist.

00:01:06.000 And if you are complicit in any system that produces inequality, then you are part of the problem and you are a racist.

00:01:12.000 And to be anti-racist, you have to fight the system.

00:01:14.000 Well, this sort of idea has now been promulgated with your taxpayer dollars at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, a project of the Smithsonian Institution.

00:01:22.000 And I want to go through the display that they put forth because not only is it hideous and horrifying, it's overtly racist against black Americans.

00:01:30.000 I mean, that is what it is. 0.78

00:01:31.000 It's incredible.

00:01:32.000 It's incredible.

00:01:33.000 You cannot distinguish the verbiage on this poster from anything David Duke would say.

00:01:38.000 It's impossible to actually tell the difference because in the end what it suggests is that all the hallmarks that make a person or culture or civilization successful are white things. 0.76

00:01:47.000 David Duke would say this in order to tell white people.

00:01:50.000 The National Museum of African American History and Culture is saying this in order to downgrade the quote-unquote standards of success.

00:01:57.000 And this has real ramifications because when we look at problems in American society, we look at problems like police brutality, or if we look at problems like income gaps between black Americans and white Americans and educational gaps between black Americans and white Americans.

00:02:10.000 These are specific problems with specific solutions.

00:02:13.000 There are things we can do about some of these things.

00:02:15.000 There are things we can't do about some of these things.

00:02:17.000 But if politics is the solutions business, right?

00:02:19.000 Politics is the place you're supposed to go to discuss a problem and then come up with an answer.

00:02:23.000 That is the goal of politics, is solution-making.

00:02:26.000 But our politics these days has become more about feelings.

00:02:28.000 I've said before on this show, I've talked about this, that when my wife and I first got married, right?

00:02:32.000 When you first get married, there are always some bumps that you have to iron out.

00:02:35.000 Thank God my wife and I have an incredible marriage.

00:02:37.000 We've been married 12 years now with three kids, very happy.

00:02:39.000 But at the very beginning, There's a sort of situation that would continually arise.

00:02:44.000 And the situation was, my wife would come to me with a problem. 1.00

00:02:46.000 And I, being a doting husband, would say, okay, let's talk about the solution.

00:02:50.000 And she'd get upset.

00:02:51.000 Because it turns out that what she didn't want was the solution.

00:02:54.000 What she actually wanted was for me to just hear her.

00:02:56.000 Hear her feelings.

00:02:57.000 Right?

00:02:58.000 She wanted me to show that I cared about her experiences.

00:03:01.000 And this made no sense to me because I am a solutions-oriented person.

00:03:05.000 And so I literally had to say to her, sweetheart, I need you to tell me upfront in the conversation, whether this is a conversation where you just want me to show sympathy, or is this a con... I'm kind of a robot this way.

00:03:14.000 Or is this a conversation where you want me to provide a solution?

00:03:18.000 Well, politics is supposed to be all about the latter, right?

00:03:20.000 It's all supposed to be about solutions, but virtually none of politics in modern America is about solutions.

00:03:25.000 And in fact, if you offer solutions to any of these problems, if you suggest that maybe a solution to the income gap is to Culturally pressed forward with the cause of less single motherhood. 0.56

00:03:35.000 If you suggest that maybe one of the things we should do is push school vouchers, maybe one of the things we should do is push standards of education inside homes that value education more.

00:03:45.000 If you suggest that maybe one of the things we ought to do is put more police officers in high crime areas so as to crack down on crime and provide a safe haven for businesses and investment that raises the tax base, increases the funding for public schools, and provides jobs for more people, then you are part of the problem, you see.

00:04:01.000 If you're Senator Tim Scott and you come forward with a bill that is meant to take the first steps toward curbing police brutality, you are hit with more vitriol by the left than if you had never provided any sort of solution at all.

00:04:13.000 Because the solution is not the point.

00:04:15.000 The complaining is the point.

00:04:17.000 The castigation of the entire system is the point.

00:04:19.000 Shoring up the system is the problem.

00:04:21.000 If you shore up the system, then all you are doing is merely supporting a system of brutality and racism and cruelty.

00:04:28.000 Now, that is not a recipe for a future for the country.

00:04:30.000 There cannot be a future to a country that basically suggests that anytime there is a problem, if you try to solve it, you yourself are part of the problem.

00:04:37.000 That is a movement that is destined to destroy the country.

00:04:43.000 This is what my new book is about, How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps, out next Tuesday.

00:04:46.000 You can get it at Amazon or you can buy a signed copy at dailywire.com.

00:04:49.000 It's all about this.

00:04:50.000 It's all about the quest to destroy America with a vision of America that sees America as pure power politics and the system itself as an indicator of hierarchical brutality.

00:05:01.000 It is something that the left is pushing these days very hard.

00:05:04.000 And now it is being embedded in cultural institutions. 0.92

00:05:07.000 So first of all, I think most Americans should be able to look at this and say this is ridiculous.

00:05:11.000 But most Americans, I think, are not looking at this anti-racist, you know, the new definition of anti-racist, which is to say, disestablishmentarianism, get rid of the system. 0.93

00:05:19.000 They're not looking at this and saying this is ridiculous.

00:05:21.000 They've been so trained to treat any accusation of racism as gospel.

00:05:26.000 That they are willing to even hear the redefinition of racism even if it means that they are supposed to now silence themselves, silence their common sense, tear down the system that provides them the opportunity for a civilized and wonderful life.

00:05:39.000 That's how powerful the charge of racism has become.

00:05:41.000 You can even shift the definition of racism and people will still be so cowed by the very word with a completely different definition that they will go along to get along.

00:05:49.000 So here is the new definition of whiteness and racism.

00:05:53.000 Get ready for this because this is amazing.

00:05:54.000 And this is from taxpayer-sponsored National Museum of African American History and Culture.

00:05:59.000 Aspects and assumptions of whiteness and white culture in the United States.

00:06:02.000 This is a full poster.

00:06:04.000 White dominant culture or whiteness. 0.80

00:06:05.000 It refers to the ways white people and their traditions, attitudes, and ways of life have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States.

00:06:14.000 And since white people still hold most of the institutional power in America, we all have internalized some aspects of white culture, including people of color. 0.85

00:06:20.000 So in other words, if you're a black person and you believe in any of the following lists that we're going to get to in a second, any of the following principles, if you're black and you believe this, it's because on the inside you're white. 0.94

00:06:28.000 You've now turned into an Oreo, right? 0.95

00:06:29.000 That is the, really, this is what this is saying.

00:06:31.000 It is saying that if you have internalized any of the things I'm about to explain to you, then it is because you have now internalized whiteness.

00:06:37.000 You have now suffered from assimilationism, as Ibram Kendi suggests, and how to be an anti-racist.

00:06:42.000 Okay, here are some of the things that are associated with whiteness and white-dominant culture.

00:06:47.000 Okay, these are some of the things.

00:06:48.000 And again, I challenge you to tell me how this is anything different from what David Duke would say, the former Grand Wizard of the KKK.

00:06:54.000 Rugged individualism is about white-dominant culture or whiteness. 0.51

00:06:58.000 The individual as the primary unit.

00:07:00.000 Self-reliant.

00:07:01.000 Independent and autonomy.

00:07:02.000 Highly valued and rewarded.

00:07:04.000 Individuals assumed to be in control of their environment.

00:07:06.000 You get what you deserve.

00:07:07.000 So individualism itself is just a white thing.

00:07:10.000 If you believe that you have agency in your own life, which by the way is the precondition to any success in this life or any other, If you believe that you have the power to shape your own future, that is your whiteness talking. 0.92

00:07:20.000 That is your internalized whiteness.

00:07:22.000 Because only white people have historically had such power, except for the fact that now everybody has that power in the United States, and legally has had that power since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

00:07:30.000 Okay, other things that are aspects of whiteness in the United States.

00:07:34.000 Family structure.

00:07:35.000 That's a white thing.

00:07:37.000 Again, this is according to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

00:07:41.000 Family structure is a white thing.

00:07:43.000 The nuclear family is a white thing. 0.95

00:07:46.000 Apparently, if your kids have their own rooms, it's because it's a white thing.

00:07:53.000 Which is real weird, because when I was growing up, I shared a room with all three of my sisters until I was 11 years old.

00:07:58.000 So I guess we weren't white then.

00:07:59.000 So that's kinda strange.

00:08:01.000 Emphasis on scientific method is a white thing. 0.81

00:08:05.000 It says this is a museum.

00:08:05.000 I'm not kidding.

00:08:08.000 OK, the museum is saying that if you believe in the scientific method, it's because it's a white thing that you have internalized.

00:08:13.000 Objective, rational, linear thinking is a white thing. 0.96

00:08:16.000 Cause and effect relationships are a white thing. 0.57

00:08:19.000 Quantitative emphasis is a white thing. 0.66

00:08:22.000 Data analysis.

00:08:23.000 Basically, if you think like a rational human being, it's because you've internalized whiteness. 0.73

00:08:26.000 Okay, this is the most racist thing in the entire world. 0.94

00:08:28.000 This is basically suggesting that if it were not for white people, there would be no rationality. 0.97

00:08:32.000 Rationality would not exist. 0.51

00:08:33.000 There's not been a single brown person, steeped in their own culture and human history, who thought in a linear, quantitative, cause-and-effect way. 0.93

00:08:41.000 Which is bizarre, ahistorical, and insane. 0.98

00:08:43.000 Okay, if you emphasize the scientific method, that's only because you're white. 0.99

00:08:48.000 I'm telling you, David Duke could have written this.

00:08:51.000 Because David Duke's like, you know what's great about white people? 0.95

00:08:53.000 Individualism.

00:08:54.000 Their scientific thinking.

00:08:55.000 Their brains. 0.99

00:08:56.000 Because David Duke's a racist! 1.00

00:08:56.000 Right? 1.00

00:08:58.000 Okay, this is a racist document, but it's masquerading as an anti-racist document, and I'll explain why in a second.

00:09:03.000 Okay, other things that are white.

00:09:05.000 If you mention Western civilization, That's a white thing, because Western civilization is not important, apparently, in the broad view of humanity, despite the fact that Western civilized values have now taken over most of humanity and have been responsible for the uplift and freeing of billions of human beings.

00:09:20.000 A heavy focus on the British Empire in history is a white thing, because apparently the British Empire was not important except for the fact that the sun literally never set on the British Empire, so there was that.

00:09:28.000 It was kind of an important part of human history.

00:09:31.000 Work ethic.

00:09:32.000 The Protestant work ethic is a white thing. 0.94

00:09:34.000 Hard work as the key to success is a white thing. 1.00

00:09:38.000 It is an aspect of white-dominant culture if you believe that you should work hard and you should work before you play. 0.51

00:09:43.000 I'm serious.

00:09:46.000 These are white things, according to this museum.

00:09:48.000 Not kidding.

00:09:49.000 Also, delayed gratification is a white thing.

00:09:52.000 If you're oriented toward the future.

00:09:53.000 Now again, every aspect here, everything I'm talking about, these are the preconditions for success in any free system.

00:09:59.000 Being a person who focuses on the future, delayed gratification, hard work, rugged individualism, a belief in data and science.

00:10:04.000 Like these are the preconditions to success in a free country.

00:10:07.000 These are being labeled white things.

00:10:09.000 And if you believe in them, you have internalized the white culture. 0.54

00:10:14.000 Other things that they say are white are things like value on ownership of goods, space, and property, which, okay, just the utter insanity of suggesting that only white people have ever valued ownership of goods, space, and property.

00:10:25.000 Really, why are there tribal chiefs in literally every civilization ever known to man, and they are the richest, most powerful people?

00:10:29.000 Why?

00:10:30.000 If you follow rigid time schedules, if you view time as, if you are punctual, that is a white thing. 0.90

00:10:36.000 Being punctual is a white thing. 0.82

00:10:38.000 Apparently.

00:10:38.000 If you believe in English common law and protecting private property, if you believe that intent counts in justice, if you believe that there is a difference between manslaughter and first-degree murder, if you believe that people should have to show intent to be blamed fully for a crime, then this is an aspect of whiteness.

00:11:00.000 And finally, decision-making.

00:11:01.000 If you make decisions If you are oriented toward solutions, if you must always do something about situation, that means that you are oriented toward whiteness. 0.97

00:11:10.000 We're gonna get into more of this and what exactly this means and how this destroys the country and how woke white people bowing to this bullcrap, how these woke white people are destroying the country. 0.99

00:11:19.000 It really is insane. 0.99

00:11:20.000 We'll get to that in just a moment.

00:11:21.000 First, if you've been listening to the show for a while, you probably heard me talk about my Helix mattress.

00:11:26.000 I love my Helix sleep mattress.

00:11:27.000 It is the only thing that allows me to get through the day since my children have decided to wake me up at all hours of the night.

00:11:31.000 Well, good news.

00:11:32.000 Helix has now gone beyond the bedroom.

00:11:33.000 They've started making sofas.

00:11:35.000 They just launched a new company.

00:11:36.000 It's called Allform.

00:11:37.000 They're making premium customizable sofas and chairs shipped directly to your door.

00:11:41.000 They are just gorgeous.

00:11:41.000 I mean, these are beautiful pieces of furniture.

00:11:44.000 What makes an all-form sofa really cool?

00:11:45.000 Well, for starters, it's the easiest way you can customize a sofa using premium materials at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.

00:11:50.000 You pick your fabric.

00:11:51.000 It is spill-stain and scratch-resistant.

00:11:53.000 As I said, I have kids.

00:11:54.000 That is vital.

00:11:55.000 The sofa color, the color of the leg sofa size, shape.

00:11:57.000 You make sure it's perfect for you or your home.

00:11:59.000 They've got armchairs, loveseats, all the way up to eight-seat sectionals.

00:12:02.000 And there's something for everyone.

00:12:03.000 And you can start small and you can bolt on additional pieces.

00:12:06.000 It can always change and grow as your house changes and grow.

00:12:13.000 In the past, if you wanted to order a sofa, it could take weeks or even months to arrive.

00:12:16.000 Not anymore.

00:12:16.000 Now it takes three to seven days to arrive in the mail, and you can assemble it yourself really easily.

00:12:20.000 We did it ourselves at my house.

00:12:22.000 I have an all-form sofa.

00:12:23.000 I've got the three-seat sofa with chaise in the sand color with espresso legs.

00:12:26.000 It is a real addition to my home.

00:12:28.000 My kids love it.

00:12:28.000 I love it.

00:12:51.000 It is just fantastic.

00:12:52.000 Okay, so, what the hell is all of this about?

00:12:55.000 What in the world are people doing here? 0.91

00:12:58.000 The notion that you're going to castigate as white all of the hallmarks of success. 1.00

00:13:02.000 Being oriented toward solutions.

00:13:04.000 Being oriented toward delayed gratification.

00:13:07.000 Being punctual.

00:13:08.000 Focusing in on elements of common law like protection of private property and intention in criminality.

00:13:15.000 Emphasis on the scientific method.

00:13:17.000 What good, how is that helping the world to label all of that stuff white? 1.00

00:13:21.000 What does that mean? 0.93

00:13:22.000 Well, to understand this, you really have to read the idiocy of Ibram Kendi, who's been held up as some sort of great thinker, and who, indeed, must have been dropped on his head multiple times as a child, because that is the only way I can really support the notion that this was in any way related to rationality. 0.98

00:13:35.000 I have a simple rule, online it's called Hanlon's Razor, attribute to stupidity that which you cannot attribute to malice. 0.99

00:13:42.000 Okay, well, you know, the fact is that I actually don't think Ibram Kendi's a dumb guy, so it's hard for me to attribute his perspective to simple stupidity or simple blindness. 0.91

00:13:54.000 If I were going to say that it was malicious and that it were a plan, honestly, I don't like conspiracy theories, and so I'm not going to support one here. 0.89

00:14:04.000 If there were to be a conspiracy theory, it would sound something like this.

00:14:07.000 That there are people out there who actively want to make people's lives worse so as to be able to blame the system for people's lives being worse and then tear it down.

00:14:13.000 That would be the simple sort of cloward-pivot conspiracy theory here.

00:14:16.000 I don't think that's what's happening.

00:14:17.000 I think people just have a perverse view of the system, and they will use any brick bat in order to hit it.

00:14:22.000 They'll use any crowbar to tear it down. 0.96

00:14:24.000 So here is what I mean. 0.96

00:14:25.000 Ibram Kendi, in his ridiculous book, How to Be an Antiracist, which is Purely crazy. 0.67

00:14:30.000 He argues that racism is not, in fact, a belief in the inherent superiority or inferiority of a particular race. 0.84

00:14:35.000 You should know, by the way, Robin DiAngelo, who I've reviewed at length, Robin DiAngelo is just a white knockoff of Ibram Kendi.

00:14:41.000 Kendi says that racism is an embedded system that results in racial inequality.

00:14:45.000 In other words, any system that results in racial inequality is a bad system.

00:14:49.000 Which is weird because every system in human history results in some level of racial inequality because literally if you take two groups and you divide them just with a random line, there will be inequalities between the two groups statistically.

00:15:00.000 It does not like this is a fact of stats.

00:15:04.000 Averages do not actually.

00:15:06.000 Measure what happens when you draw a line down the middle of a room.

00:15:09.000 If we took all of my employees and we drew a line down the middle of the room, there would be differences in sexual orientation, in gender, in race, in income level, in height, right?

00:15:18.000 That's just the way that it works.

00:15:20.000 You couldn't just average them and say, okay, generic blob of humanity.

00:15:23.000 Because of that, there will always be racial inequalities because bottom line is that any group division means there will be differences in group.

00:15:30.000 And by the way, one of the things that I always notice about people who talk about racial inequality in the United States is that they always target the system, the evil, terrible, no good, very bad American system.

00:15:39.000 If you're going to write an equation, here I go with my scientific thinking again, aspects of whiteness and all of this. 0.97

00:15:44.000 If you're going to write an equation about inequality, And you're going to have the statistical inequality and then the independent variable, meaning the thing that changes.

00:15:53.000 So most thinkers of the left will simply suggest that the independent variable is America.

00:15:58.000 America's policies are responsible and therefore the only differences in inequality is the American system.

00:16:05.000 But in order to say that that's the independent variable, shouldn't you have some sort of comparative analysis of whether there is racial inequality in other systems?

00:16:13.000 If you're going to say that America is the problem, really, you should look at other systems and determine whether racial inequality persists in other systems.

00:16:18.000 And the answer, of course, is yes.

00:16:20.000 Black Americans are significantly better off on a household income level, for example, than black Canadians or black Britishers or black French. 0.51

00:16:28.000 That is a simple statistical analysis to do.

00:16:30.000 Racial inequalities exist in Canada.

00:16:32.000 They are very large.

00:16:33.000 They exist in Britain.

00:16:34.000 They are very large.

00:16:35.000 They exist across Europe.

00:16:36.000 They are very large.

00:16:37.000 There are inequalities across Africa, right?

00:16:39.000 This is just a common aspect of humanity is racial inequality.

00:16:42.000 So blaming it on America, you're going to need to do a little bit better than just the simple assumption that all systems that produce inequality are evil Americanism.

00:16:48.000 But this is Ibram Kendi's suggestion, which is completely a factual.

00:16:52.000 Now, the good news is he's also labeled science racist.

00:16:54.000 So that means that if you question him with science, then that means that you are just exhibiting your white supremacy or something.

00:16:59.000 It's completely unfalsifiable, right?

00:17:02.000 You make a propositional statement about the world.

00:17:05.000 And if I say the science doesn't back that, you say, well, science is a white people thing. 0.85

00:17:08.000 That's what Imran Kendi is doing here.

00:17:10.000 Okay, we'll get to more of this in just one second.

00:17:12.000 I'll explain what exactly is going on and how all of these woke white people, in an attempt to buy their way out of racist jail, right?

00:17:20.000 Faux racist jail.

00:17:21.000 They're willing to do any sort of virtue signaling they can.

00:17:24.000 It leaves some pretty bizarre results.

00:17:25.000 We'll get to that in just a moment.

00:17:26.000 First, hiring can be difficult.

00:17:28.000 But if you are currently hiring, you face new difficulties these days.

00:17:31.000 HousingWire could relate.

00:17:32.000 They needed to hire a reporter to cover news stories on the U.S. 0.67

00:17:35.000 housing market.

00:17:35.000 So they turned to ZipRecruiter.

00:17:36.000 And that is how HousingWire found Alexandra Roja. 0.99

00:17:38.000 Alexandra never imagined she could get a reporter job during COVID-19.

00:17:42.000 She created a profile on ZipRecruiter.

00:17:43.000 And sure enough, she ended up working over at HousingWire.

00:18:32.000 Okay, so back to Ibram Kendi.

00:18:34.000 So Ibram Kendi says that any system that results in racial inequality is a racist system.

00:18:41.000 Any complicity in that system is racist also because silence is violence, right?

00:18:44.000 So anti-racism means opposition to such systems. 0.98

00:18:47.000 Here's what Kendi says in his dumb book. 0.86

00:18:49.000 Quote, to be anti-racist is to reject cultural standards and level cultural differences. 0.97

00:18:55.000 Okay, now this is a pretty radical statement.

00:18:57.000 And so, I've said before, and if you're gonna look at inequality, you do have to look at factors in personal choice, and you have to look at differences in culture.

00:19:04.000 If you have one culture that values education, this is not a racial statement, there are values in white America.

00:19:08.000 There are certain cultures in white America that do not value education.

00:19:12.000 JD Vance talks about them eloquently in Hillbilly Elegy.

00:19:15.000 If you have a culture that doesn't value education, the same way as another culture that values education, that is gonna have some pretty significant ramifications for how your children are educated, for example.

00:19:23.000 And if you have a culture that presses forward with single motherhood as opposed to pressing for the nuclear family, that's going to have ramifications for the next generation.

00:19:30.000 Ibram Kendi says, if you say that there are differences between cultures, not there are differences between races.

00:19:35.000 Differences between races on the pure basis of race, that's racism.

00:19:38.000 Differences between culture on the basis that cultures are different, which is perfectly obvious to everyone.

00:19:43.000 Right?

00:19:44.000 Even the diversity crowd acknowledges there are differences in culture.

00:19:47.000 They just say that any system that does not end with an equal result, despite the cultures, is a racist system.

00:19:53.000 So Kendi literally writes, to be anti-racist, this is a direct quote, is to reject cultural standards and level cultural differences.

00:19:59.000 Segregationists say racial groups cannot reach their superior cultural standard.

00:20:03.000 Assimilationists say racial groups can, with effort and intention, reach their superior cultural standards.

00:20:09.000 In fact, says Kendi, civilization is often a polite euphemism for cultural racism.

00:20:14.000 Now, cultural racism is a conflict in terms.

00:20:17.000 It's a conflict in terms.

00:20:18.000 Racism is about race.

00:20:19.000 Culture is about culture.

00:20:21.000 So by conflating culture with race, what he's essentially saying is no matter what decisions you make in life, no matter what things you value, we should end up in the same place if the system were fair, which is totally insipid.

00:20:31.000 It's utterly crazy.

00:20:33.000 So Kendi is indicting systems that produce progress and wealth and happiness, but that, like all free systems, also result in inequality.

00:20:41.000 So what this means is that any system that results in inequality, we don't have to look at your personal action.

00:20:46.000 We don't have to look at what you did.

00:20:47.000 We don't have to look at your personal choice.

00:20:48.000 In fact, if we do, that is just our whiteness talking.

00:20:50.000 This is how you end up with the bizarre proclamation that individualism and individual choice is a white person thing.

00:20:55.000 Which again, is something David Duke likes.

00:20:57.000 Something David Duke agrees with.

00:20:59.000 But this is now being promulgated at the highest levels by our nation's newspapers, by our colleges, by our museums.

00:21:06.000 Okay, this ends in utter unsuccess. 1.00

00:21:08.000 It's not just stupid, by the way. 1.00

00:21:09.000 It's incredibly dangerous. 1.00

00:21:11.000 Because what you're saying to people is all the things that you can do to succeed in life are now foreclosed to you.

00:21:16.000 You should not do them.

00:21:18.000 It makes you a sellout.

00:21:19.000 It makes you an assimilationist. 0.88

00:21:21.000 Right?

00:21:21.000 The idea is that things like hard work, individualism, family structure, thinking about the future, delayed gratification, those are the systems that have created unprecedented wealth for black Americans.

00:21:32.000 The system that Martin Luther King was fighting for was access to the system for black Americans, not destruction of the system.

00:21:39.000 He was saying we need more access to the system.

00:21:40.000 And he was right.

00:21:41.000 It's what Booker T. Washington was arguing.

00:21:43.000 It's what Frederick Douglass was arguing.

00:21:45.000 The promises of the Declaration must be extended to all of us was the argument, not the Declaration is evil.

00:21:50.000 All of it has to come down.

00:21:51.000 And no matter what choices I make, I should have exactly the same outcome as the guy next door to me.

00:21:55.000 It creates an unfalsifiable standard because no system is going to end with equality when you remove all human choice and all human agency from the equation.

00:22:02.000 That's utterly nuts.

00:22:04.000 So in essence, what this isn't, it's not just rejecting good ideas as racist, it is damning black Americans to lack of success by pushing against every possible variable that would militate in favor of success. 0.92

00:22:15.000 If you stand for a nuclear family, if you stand for education and hard work and individualism, if you stand for the notion that you should delay gratification, you are being a white person. 0.81

00:22:24.000 You're being complicit in the system of racism.

00:22:27.000 How does rejecting family structure make any black life better? 0.90

00:22:31.000 How?

00:22:32.000 Single motherhood is the single greatest reason for income inequality by studies. 0.93

00:22:35.000 How does rejecting hard work pay off for black Americans?

00:22:38.000 The answer is, it doesn't.

00:22:39.000 How does trashing the scientific method provide an avenue of success for black Americans? 1.00

00:22:43.000 The answer is, it doesn't.

00:22:44.000 This is all about trashing the system.

00:22:46.000 It's all about trashing the system. 0.88

00:22:48.000 That's all it is.

00:22:49.000 And the sad part is that white people are going along with it simply because they are so afraid that somebody is going to shout at them racist with no basis whatsoever.

00:22:55.000 That's how powerful the charges become.

00:22:57.000 You can completely shift what racist means and shout the same word and people will still react by saying, okay, what do I have to do to make you stop calling me that?

00:23:05.000 And that's what we are seeing right now.

00:23:06.000 I'm gonna read you a piece from the Washington Post in just a second.

00:23:09.000 That is all about this bizarre, bizarre situation.

00:23:12.000 And it is crazy.

00:23:13.000 It's crazy.

00:23:14.000 We'll get to it in just a moment.

00:23:15.000 First, we're home a little bit more than usual these days.

00:23:17.000 It is still hard to keep a close eye on things.

00:23:19.000 I know around my neighborhood, there's been a spate of people robbing mailboxes.

00:23:22.000 Well, one way that this can stop is if you get ring devices.

00:23:25.000 You can tell what's happening outside your home.

00:24:23.000 That is ring.com slash ben. 0.62

00:24:25.000 Underlying all of this, by the way, underlying all the faux sympathy from the white woke liberals on this sort of stuff, is a really racist perception of black Americans. 0.97

00:24:33.000 That black Americans cannot succeed. 1.00

00:24:35.000 Right? 0.90

00:24:35.000 Ibram Kenzi, in his book, when he talks about this sort of stuff, Ibram Kenzi makes the distinction between what he calls the segregationists and the assimilationists. 0.90

00:24:44.000 Assimilationists are people who say, if you work hard within the system, you will succeed.

00:24:47.000 Which is true.

00:24:49.000 And the segregationists are the people who say, no matter how hard you work within the system, you cannot succeed.

00:24:53.000 The only thing that separates the segregationists from Ibram Kendi is he wants to destroy the system.

00:24:56.000 Well, there are a lot of white woke liberals who actually have this bizarre vision of black Americans that they cannot succeed within the system.

00:25:03.000 For some reason, they think that all black Americans are living in abject poverty in the United States when they are not.

00:25:08.000 The typical black family in the United States is not living in abject poverty.

00:25:11.000 The median household income for black Americans is nearly $60,000 a year.

00:25:14.000 That is not the poverty line.

00:25:17.000 The vast majority of black Americans are middle class or above.

00:25:21.000 And they're not living in abject poverty.

00:25:24.000 But again, this image has been promulgated by the media, it's been promulgated by the left, that everybody who is black in America is living in squalor.

00:25:31.000 And it's just not true.

00:25:31.000 Okay, but what this generates, the charge of racism is so powerful in American life, because of course, there were a lot of racists in American history.

00:25:38.000 And because America did have an embedded racist system of segregation and Jim Crow.

00:25:42.000 Because of all of that, the charge holds power, even if you are now lying about the charge. 0.93

00:25:47.000 And so this has driven white people to new depths of insanity. 0.91

00:25:50.000 There's a piece over at the Washington Post today that is just crazy. 0.96

00:25:54.000 It's called Stumbling Toward Wokeness.

00:25:56.000 After George Floyd's death, she wanted to be anti-racist.

00:25:59.000 But what would that mean exactly?

00:26:00.000 It's the profile of a woman named Christine Tell by Robert Samuels.

00:26:05.000 And it's all about this white woke lady in Tulsa trying to figure out her own whiteness.

00:26:12.000 The text messages were flying in to Christine Tell's cell phone.

00:26:15.000 They were coming from a group of friends who taught with her at a preschool inside the Methodist chapel near the green fields of the University of Tulsa.

00:26:21.000 A woman on our Facebook post is claiming we are a whites-only school, one woman wrote about the interaction on Facebook.

00:26:26.000 Someone tell me what I'm missing.

00:26:27.000 Wentell looked at the post.

00:26:28.000 She knew exactly what was missing.

00:26:29.000 Photos of black and brown students.

00:26:31.000 All of the smiling children featured on the school's post were white, which the teachers insisted was a coincidence.

00:26:36.000 So far from the truth, one responded, noting some of the children in the post were Hispanic.

00:26:40.000 This pisses me off, said another. 1.00

00:26:41.000 Dumb, said a third. 1.00

00:26:42.000 Tell tried to figure out the right way to contribute to the conversation. 0.99

00:26:45.000 Ever since she watched a video of a police officer digging his knee into the neck of George Floyd, she pledged to become a better white person. 0.63

00:26:52.000 By the way, the actual reason why this particular school had pictures of white kids is because they were able to reach the parents to ask for permission.

00:26:59.000 It seriously says this right in the article. 0.84

00:27:00.000 The craziest part of this article, and it really is indicative of what the anti-racist movement wants from white woke liberals, is shut up and repeat what we tell you. 0.97

00:27:10.000 Don't think for yourself. 0.98

00:27:11.000 Don't really try to figure out what you can do.

00:27:13.000 Pay Robin DiAngelo $10,000 to come to your business and yell at you.

00:27:16.000 Listen to what Ibram Kendi tells you are the systems of oppression, and then dismantle those systems of oppression by shutting the hell up.

00:27:22.000 That's what the goal is here.

00:27:23.000 To confuse people so much about what is racist and what is not racist that you can do nothing.

00:27:27.000 There are no solutions.

00:27:28.000 The purpose, it's not a bug, the feature of this system is there are no solutions.

00:27:33.000 It's a bug if you provide a solution.

00:27:35.000 Because once you've provided a solution, you're shoring up the system.

00:27:37.000 The feature is making you feel bad about yourself because any solution you provide is going to be insanely and incessantly racist.

00:27:45.000 So here's the best part of the article.

00:27:47.000 So Christine Tell and a woman named Cody, who's an administrator at the preschool, got together to discuss diversity.

00:27:52.000 They were joined at their preschool by another good friend and teacher named Katie Columbin.

00:27:56.000 The three women felt that the pictures didn't actually show how diverse the school was.

00:27:59.000 Of the 45 students enrolled in the school this year, at least nine had one parent of color according to their tally.

00:28:04.000 Cody had chosen the pictures because they were children of parents who worked at the school.

00:28:08.000 It was easier to get permission for them.

00:28:09.000 She then posted new photos of children with darker skin, but she knew those changes were insufficient.

00:28:15.000 How did she know this?

00:28:16.000 She knew this because everything is insufficient.

00:28:17.000 She then posted new photos of children with darker skin.

00:28:20.000 She knew those changes were insufficient.

00:28:21.000 Only three of the school's students were African-American.

00:28:24.000 How many black baby dolls do we have, she asked. 0.71

00:28:26.000 We need to get some black baby dolls. 1.00

00:28:28.000 Oh, I didn't think about that, said Colin Bin, the other teacher.

00:28:30.000 We have none.

00:28:31.000 But that wasn't intentional.

00:28:33.000 99% of those toys are donated.

00:28:35.000 Tell suggested the fact that all the toys were the same race by happenstance was an idea worth thinking about.

00:28:39.000 Okay, so we now know this was not a racist thing, right?

00:28:42.000 People just donated their toys.

00:28:44.000 And Tell was like, well, maybe that's because the system is even more racist!

00:28:48.000 No matter what the justification is, there's always more work to be done, guys.

00:28:52.000 And by work, we mean doing nothing and navel-gazing.

00:28:56.000 I think part of our responsibility as white people is to reflect back on our own experiences and what ways we have unconsciously chosen the white baby doll, said Tell.

00:29:04.000 Okay, so this is all navel-gazing. 0.83

00:29:05.000 We are the white saviors. 0.99

00:29:06.000 Black people have no agency. 1.00

00:29:08.000 We need people like Christine Tell. 0.99

00:29:09.000 If you need people like Christine Tell to save racial America, if you're a black person waiting for Christine Tell to save, you're gonna be waiting an awful long time.

00:29:16.000 Just gonna let you know that right now.

00:29:19.000 Cody told the other teachers the Floyd video moved her to want to do her part to bring unity to this country.

00:29:24.000 Cody said she'd spent her adult life trying not to pay attention to skin color because she didn't want anyone to be judged by their race. 0.89

00:29:29.000 That would be the reasonable position.

00:29:31.000 Now she could not stop paying attention to a person's skin color and the injustice it might bring.

00:29:35.000 So now she didn't think about race before.

00:29:37.000 Now all she does is think about race.

00:29:39.000 Is the country better for this?

00:29:41.000 Is the country strong?

00:29:42.000 Whose problems have been solved by this?

00:29:44.000 The answer is nobody's. 0.96

00:29:46.000 When I'm driving down the street and there's a black man walking down the street, bam! 1.00

00:29:49.000 I look and I go, oh wow, Cody said.

00:29:50.000 I say, okay, he might be next.

00:29:53.000 Okay, why are you... what?

00:29:55.000 I thought that that was an aspect of racism, right?

00:29:58.000 That if you walk down the street, you see a black person, you immediately make a judgment about their situation on the basis of their race alone.

00:30:02.000 That's kind of racist, is it not?

00:30:03.000 But no.

00:30:04.000 She wanted to do more than get more diverse baby dolls. 1.00

00:30:08.000 I seriously thought about going to North Tulsa, she said, and knocking on doors, and saying, hey, I'd really love for your child to come to preschool here, and we'll give you a full scholarship for it, she said.

00:30:16.000 So now they're talking about overtly doing something good for people who are minority.

00:30:20.000 And they're like, now's not the time, guys.

00:30:22.000 I mean, is that racist for us to do that?

00:30:23.000 Is it not racist?

00:30:24.000 I don't know.

00:30:25.000 I don't know what the hell's going on, but I'm so scared.

00:30:27.000 time, Tell said. So now they're talking about overtly doing something good for people who are minority. And they're like, now's not the time, guys. I mean, is that racist for us to do that? Is it not racist? I don't know. I don't know what the hell's going on, but I'm so scared. I'm so scared of being called racist for doing stuff that's not remotely racist. Columbine, the other teacher, was nervous about coming up with ideas to help the black community that came from a group of white women who had few black friends in their lives and who didn't actively think about race until the summer.

00:30:53.000 You could lose your job, Columban said.

00:30:55.000 You don't want to be viewed that way when you're trying to help.

00:30:57.000 Columban agreed.

00:30:58.000 She needed to teach her children to be kind and stand up when people seem cruel to others, especially minorities.

00:31:02.000 But now it seemed that friends like Tell were asking her to do uncomfortable things, things that might be taken the wrong way.

00:31:07.000 They were using these terms that seem to have just been popularized.

00:31:10.000 White privilege, implicit bias, structural racism.

00:31:13.000 Growing up, racism was never explained to us this way, Kahneman said.

00:31:15.000 It was never the system.

00:31:17.000 It was more of a prejudice.

00:31:18.000 She paused.

00:31:19.000 That is probably also why it's hard, as a white person, to know how to help, or speak up, or be an advocate for the black community.

00:31:26.000 But it's our job to speak out, Tell said.

00:31:27.000 It's our job to hear what is being said to us and take the time to read a book or watch a movie that's recommended and try to put our experience aside and really try to understand.

00:31:35.000 I've done that, Columben said.

00:31:36.000 I watched Just Mercy.

00:31:37.000 I watched the movie about Harriet Tubman.

00:31:38.000 I watched it with my kids.

00:31:40.000 How does that make life better for anyone in the black community?

00:31:42.000 How does my not watching a movie keep them down?

00:31:45.000 Tell had not fully worked out the answer to this question.

00:31:47.000 She hoped conversations with white people would help change votes and change minds, but sometimes she asked herself, how could she be sure?

00:31:53.000 She couldn't be certain because she wasn't certain of anything.

00:31:56.000 In a month, she'd realized pervasive racism in the school system and in the prison system, in her family and her friends, in herself.

00:32:02.000 The tectonics of what made it great to be an American seemed to be shifting, and she had no idea what it meant for the future.

00:32:07.000 And that is, in the end, the point.

00:32:09.000 The end point for all of this is you're confused about America.

00:32:12.000 You think America's inherently bad. 1.00

00:32:13.000 You don't know anything, but you know you suck. 1.00

00:32:15.000 And you know America sucks. 1.00

00:32:16.000 That's the only point of all of this. 0.99

00:32:18.000 It doesn't make anybody's life better.

00:32:19.000 It forecloses paths to success for minority Americans.

00:32:22.000 It even stops white people from trying to help black Americans.

00:32:24.000 Because any solution is you being paternalistic.

00:32:27.000 So all this is designed to do in the end is shame white people into feeling bad enough to give up any sort of agency to the Ibram Kendi's of the world to give them orders as to how to be an anti-racist. 0.84

00:32:36.000 You need a guide.

00:32:37.000 You need a guide through this thicket, this miasmatic nonsense that is created solely for the purpose of tearing down the system. 1.00

00:32:44.000 That's dangerous for black people. 1.00

00:32:45.000 It's dangerous for white people. 1.00

00:32:46.000 Because guess what? 0.99

00:32:47.000 The American system is damned phenomenal. 0.68

00:32:49.000 It is a phenomenal system. 0.51

00:32:51.000 The American system, replete with the Declaration of Independence values.

00:32:55.000 Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:32:57.000 Equality before the law.

00:32:59.000 Rights that pre-exist government.

00:33:00.000 Against your fellow citizen.

00:33:02.000 Rights that prevent them from infringing upon your rights.

00:33:05.000 Those things are great.

00:33:06.000 They've created prosperity.

00:33:07.000 They've created wealth.

00:33:08.000 They've created long life.

00:33:11.000 All of those are products of our Declaration.

00:33:14.000 The notion that you have to tear down the Declaration in order to achieve something better, and that in any system, aspects of success like the scientific method, that is tied to subjugation.

00:33:24.000 It's disgusting. 0.97

00:33:25.000 It's disgusting. 1.00

00:33:26.000 And the white idiots who buy into it are pusillanimous cowards. 1.00

00:33:31.000 Anybody who buys into it is a pusillanimous coward. 1.00

00:33:34.000 It's insane. 1.00

00:33:36.000 I relegate the pusillanimous cowardice to the white people because the white people are the ones who are being called racist. 0.99

00:33:40.000 That's the way that this works. 1.00

00:33:42.000 But if you fall for this trick, if you fall for this garbage, you're not only an idiot and a dupe, you're making the country a worse place. 1.00

00:33:47.000 Again, I talk about this at length in my book, How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps. 1.00

00:33:51.000 It's just, it's being weaponized so fast and taking over the culture so fast.

00:33:55.000 It's astonishing.

00:33:56.000 It's astonishing. 0.99

00:33:56.000 And I guess you can sell any sort of idiocy so long as you threaten somebody with the club of calling them a racist, even if they're not a racist. 0.99

00:34:03.000 We'll get to more about this in just one second because you can see it being internalized and weaponized. 0.98

00:34:06.000 You've got Ilhan Omar using exactly this logic to suggest all of her critics are racist.

00:34:11.000 And you got Joe Scarborough writing entire columns about internalizing his own whiteness and such.

00:34:15.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:34:17.000 First, if you've got a car that's taking up space sitting in your driveway, they don't use, that you are paying insurance on, why?

00:34:23.000 You should not.

00:34:24.000 Get rid of it.

00:34:25.000 Donate it to Cars 4 Kids.

00:35:30.000 We'll get to that in just one second. 0.99

00:35:40.000 Slash, them. 1.00

00:35:41.000 All right, we're going to get to the speed with which this hideous idiocy is taking over the country. 0.99

00:35:49.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:35:50.000 First, as I've been mentioning all throughout the show, my new book, How to Destroy America It goes on sale Tuesday, July 21st, 6 p.m.

00:35:57.000 Pacific.

00:35:57.000 Eastern, 3 p.m.

00:35:58.000 We will be doing a virtual live signing event on the day of release.

00:36:01.000 With your purchase of a signed copy, you can write in a question which may be read and answered as I sign your book live on the air.

00:36:06.000 You can pre-order your signed copy and write in your question at dailywire.com slash Ben.

00:36:11.000 As I've been talking about, the book covers these fundamentally different visions of America.

00:36:14.000 One vision is unifying the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, a culture of rights, a history of greatness.

00:36:20.000 The other disintegrates all the things that tie us together.

00:36:22.000 America is an evil, historically terrible place.

00:36:24.000 The Constitution is a document of subjugation.

00:36:26.000 The Declaration is mere papering for hierarchies of power.

00:36:29.000 Disintegrationists. 0.91

00:36:30.000 These are the people who are using weapons like the cancel culture. 1.00

00:36:33.000 Deleting or silencing anyone or anything that disagrees with them to build a whole new world order and tear down the system from within.

00:36:39.000 How to destroy America in three easy steps.

00:36:40.000 Details.

00:36:41.000 How this alternative worldview has gained so much cultural ground so quickly, and it doesn't just investigate this, it rebutts it, which is really the important part.

00:36:48.000 It's the kind of book that you should buy for your good-hearted liberal friends to remind them exactly why we ought to belong in the same country.

00:36:55.000 Go check out dailywire.com slash bento.

00:36:56.000 Order your signed copy today.

00:36:58.000 Join my live signing on Tuesday, July 21st.

00:37:09.000 You also get access to our mobile app, articles ad free, access to exclusive editorials like the new one that I've put out specifically today on all of this nonsense, this national museum of African-American history and culture idiocy. 1.00

00:37:22.000 I put out an entire column on it today, but you can only see it if you have a Reader's Pass.

00:37:25.000 If you haven't checked out the Reader's Pass already, head on over to dailywire.com and sign up for just a buck.

00:37:28.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:37:32.000 Okay, so the ticket to entry into the anti-racist world is to, in malice fashion, denounce yourself and denounce your own goodly vision of the United States.

00:37:48.000 If you believe the United States is a good place, founded on fundamentally and eternally true values, if you believe that, if you believe that America has not always lived up to that, that there are many flaws and dark times in American history, deeply dark, devastating times in American history, where Americans failed to live up to the vision of the Founding Fathers.

00:38:04.000 Indeed, many of the Founding Fathers failed to live up to their own vision.

00:38:06.000 But that America was founded on true, good principles, and that the striving to fulfill those principles has created the most powerful, most free country in the history of the world.

00:38:15.000 If you believe that stuff, you're bad.

00:38:16.000 And so you have to struggle with that now.

00:38:17.000 And you have to demonstrate your struggling.

00:38:19.000 And that is the solution, guys.

00:38:20.000 The struggle is the solution.

00:38:22.000 You don't have to actually solve a problem.

00:38:23.000 The struggle is the solution.

00:38:25.000 Thus, you have Joe Scarborough over at MSNBC.

00:38:28.000 He has a piece in the Washington Post today called, I Still Believe in the American Dream, But I Know Why So Many Others Don't.

00:38:33.000 Now listen, if you've actually lived in privation in the United States, if you've actually lived in abject poverty, if you've grown up in a family in which education was just not a priority and everyone around you was dependent on government, I understand that too.

00:38:48.000 I've said this in speeches before.

00:38:48.000 I do.

00:38:50.000 If you take somebody from a deeply, devastatingly poor area who has a broken family structure and you drive them around Beverly Hills and you say, if you work hard, one day this could be you, right?

00:38:58.000 This house could be yours.

00:38:59.000 You can see why people would look at that and say, well, hell, I don't believe you. 0.99

00:39:02.000 It sounds ridiculous. 0.98

00:39:04.000 I understand that. 0.59

00:39:05.000 But that's not what Joe Scarborough is saying.

00:39:06.000 What he is saying is that the United States is essentially a caste system.

00:39:10.000 And that the system itself is fundamentally broken in certain ways.

00:39:13.000 So Joe Scarborough says, he says, my oldest son, then 21, had never seen fear running across his father's face.

00:39:19.000 Why should he have?

00:39:20.000 Joey's dad, after all, was a six foot four inch white man born in a suburban middle-class home whose parents were raised in the throes of the Great Depression and started their family during the American century's zenith.

00:39:28.000 They bequeathed to their children a faith in God, a good name, the unshakeable belief that anything was possible through hard work.

00:39:33.000 My election to Congress as a young outsider only served to reinforce the Scarborough family's faith in the dream.

00:39:38.000 Then he talks about how his son nearly drowned And he says, you know, that feeling of panic is now the feeling of panic that happens for basically all black people.

00:39:50.000 He says, I know I am blessed to have had the luxury of living fearlessly through the first four decades of my life.

00:39:55.000 Unlike my post colleague, Eugene Robinson, I never had to warn my teenage boys how to behave when stopped by a police officer.

00:40:00.000 Unlike the writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, I did not know the fear that arises from being born of a people who control nothing, who can protect nothing.

00:40:07.000 As Coates told his son, black people love their children with a kind of obsession.

00:40:10.000 You are all we have and you come to us endangered.

00:40:13.000 Okay. 0.99

00:40:15.000 Immediately buying into that lie that all black people in America are endangered. 0.97

00:40:18.000 It's just a lie.

00:40:18.000 There are 42 million black people in the United States.

00:40:21.000 The average median household income in the United States for black families is $58,000.

00:40:25.000 Black children in the United States are not born endangered.

00:40:28.000 We're not living in 1890. 0.61

00:40:29.000 We're not living in 1960.

00:40:31.000 We're living in 2020. 0.80

00:40:31.000 To just repeat, Ta-Nehisi Coates makes a damn good living. 0.80

00:40:37.000 Ta-Nehisi Coates is a product of a system that has generated enormous wealth and prosperity for Ta-Nehisi Coates. 0.77

00:40:45.000 And yet, according to Ta-Nehisi Coates, all black children everywhere are living in a sort of endangered species situation in which society is conspiring to crush them.

00:40:54.000 It's a conspiracy theory without any conspiracy.

00:40:57.000 The streets of West Baltimore, says Joe Scarborough, do not allow a child to walk through life carrying a sense of invincibility.

00:41:01.000 Instead, parents harbor an unremitting dread when their child does something as mundane as walking to school.

00:41:06.000 And now, Scarborough is just conflating problems that are solvable in West Baltimore with the system as a whole.

00:41:12.000 You know why kids fear walking to school in West Baltimore?

00:41:14.000 It ain't because of the cops.

00:41:15.000 The reason that kids fear walking to school in West Baltimore is because people are getting shot every day on their way to school in West Baltimore.

00:41:20.000 Not by the police.

00:41:22.000 Fathers across the south side of Chicago, says Joe Scarborough, Cannot assure their children that a faith in God, a love of country, and a life filled with hard work will lead them to the dream.

00:41:29.000 Why?

00:41:30.000 Why?

00:41:31.000 I mean, seriously, why?

00:41:32.000 I want to know.

00:41:32.000 I want to know why you can't assure your kids of that.

00:41:34.000 And what message does it send that you will not assure your kids of that if you're not assuring your kids of that? 0.95

00:41:38.000 The single worst thing you can do for a child is say, no matter how hard you work, you're screwed. 0.91

00:41:42.000 Right? 0.61

00:41:42.000 That is the worst thing you can say to a kid. 0.61

00:41:44.000 For millions of Americans, says Joe Scarborough, that dream appears to be little more than a white man's conjuring designed to conceal a country's sins and hold its citizens harmless for crimes committed against black humanity over the past 400 years.

00:41:56.000 And now again, if the game here is that black Americans have been historically victimized in the United States, and therefore we cannot say to a young black child growing up in America today that you have opportunity, then that's an insidious game.

00:42:08.000 Those are not the same thing.

00:42:10.000 Coming from a historically oppressed people myself, I can say I have lived the freest, God-blessed life I could possibly imagine in this country.

00:42:18.000 And so did my grandparents.

00:42:19.000 And so did my great-grandparents coming to this country.

00:42:22.000 Now, the very idea that everybody who's being born in 2020 is subjected to the same sorts of evil systems of oppression that existed 60 years ago is patently insane.

00:42:33.000 But it has become a rote article of faith.

00:42:35.000 And the reason Scarborough is writing all this is not to provide a solution.

00:42:38.000 At no point does he provide a solution in this column.

00:42:40.000 Instead, we now know that Joe Scarborough is a good person because he read Ta-Nehisi Coates, guys.

00:42:45.000 He read Between the World and Me.

00:42:46.000 And that means that Joe Scarborough has now been alleviated of all responsibility.

00:42:51.000 He's mouthed the words.

00:42:52.000 He's mouthed them.

00:42:54.000 He says, as Coates wrote in Between the World and Me, maybe the most overrated book ever written, Americans should take their exceptionalism seriously and subject the country to an exceptional moral standard.

00:43:03.000 The journey can only end when every citizen is raised free of fear and filled with the same dream that so many of us take for granted.

00:43:08.000 But what if, what if there's an entire side of the culture, a disintegrationist culture, that believes it is negative and wrong to teach your children that the dream is even possible?

00:43:18.000 The dream itself.

00:43:19.000 Teaching your kids about the dream makes you an assimilationist. 0.71

00:43:22.000 This is what Joe Scarborough doesn't understand or doesn't wish to understand.

00:43:25.000 It doesn't matter how many times he says that the dream is not available to everyone and so we must make the dream more available.

00:43:30.000 The dream is the target.

00:43:32.000 The people who are pushing this anti-racist redefinition, they believe that even the idea of the American dream is racist, and all the methodologies to achieve success within that dream are bad.

00:43:43.000 Joe Scarborough will always be part of the enemy contingent to these folks, which Joe should acknowledge.

00:43:49.000 No matter what Joe does, he can read Ta-Nehisi Coates before his kids to bed at night as a catechism.

00:43:55.000 It will not matter one iota so long as he keeps saying that America's an exceptional place and a good place.

00:44:01.000 All of this also allows enormous credibility for people like Ilhan Omar, who talks about ripping down the system, and then says that anybody who criticizes her is a racist, right?

00:44:09.000 Which, again, relies on this redefinition.

00:44:11.000 Because if she says, rip down the system, you say, well, that sounds kind of terrible.

00:44:14.000 Weren't you given opportunity, Ilhan Omar?

00:44:16.000 Didn't you immigrate to the United States at age 12 from the hellscape that is Somalia? 1.00

00:44:20.000 And then you were elected to Congress? 0.89

00:44:23.000 I mean, like, that's a pretty great, pretty damned great American success story.

00:44:27.000 Shouldn't you be a little bit grateful for the system? 0.98

00:44:29.000 If you say that, you're a racist according to Ilhan Omar.

00:44:31.000 So she says, she quotes herself talking about how she wanted to tear down the system. 0.81

00:44:36.000 She said, we are not merely fighting to tear down systems of oppression in the criminal justice system.

00:44:40.000 We're fighting to tear down systems of oppression that exist in housing and education and healthcare and employment in the very air we breathe.

00:44:46.000 As long as our economic and political systems prioritize profit, without considering who is profiting and who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality.

00:44:53.000 So we cannot stop at the criminal justice system.

00:44:55.000 We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.

00:45:00.000 Which sounds an awful lot like the entire system needs to be torn down.

00:45:04.000 So according to Ilhan Omar, if you quote her, you're bad now.

00:45:06.000 This is her usual routine. 0.99

00:45:08.000 If you note that she's an anti-Semite who believes that the Jews control world money, it's all about the Benjamins, Israel support and all of this, then that's because you're a racist. 0.97

00:45:16.000 So she says, the criticism, she says, the criticism was something I've become accustomed to as a black Muslim woman in public life. 0.98

00:45:24.000 Okay, no, it's not about you being a black Muslim woman in public life. 1.00

00:45:26.000 It's about the fact that you said something absolutely terrible and that the American system should not be torn down. 0.96

00:45:31.000 I would say this about white people. 0.65

00:45:32.000 I did, okay?

00:45:33.000 I've done an entire podcast on Robin DiAngelo saying the same stuff.

00:45:37.000 But the nice thing for Ilhan Omar is because of her identity, she can now claim that if you criticize her opinion, you're criticizing her race, which is absolute nonsense.

00:45:46.000 She says this is something female leaders and leaders of color have dealt with for years. 1.00

00:45:49.000 Hillary Clinton's every move was scrutinized. 0.89

00:45:51.000 Barack Obama was hounded by claims he was a Muslim and not born in the United States.

00:45:54.000 Keith Ellison was subject to an anti-Muslim smear campaign when he ran for Democratic party chair.

00:45:58.000 Fear of the other stems, I believe, from the myth of scarcity pitting minority groups against one another in a fight for scraps. 0.86

00:46:06.000 By the way, the only people who talk like this are people of the left.

00:46:09.000 That America is not a growing pie.

00:46:11.000 It's about fighting for the scraps.

00:46:13.000 And all part of this tearing down the system routine.

00:46:15.000 Now, the nice thing also is that this means that you can basically be as racist as anti-Semitic as you want to be so long as you have the right opinions. 0.77

00:46:24.000 So yesterday, Nick Cannon, who I guess is a Nickelodeon host, haven't paid much attention to him. 0.54

00:46:28.000 He lost his job at ViacomCBS after he went on a podcast and suggested that white people were devils, which apparently, by the way, did not earn chiding from ViacomCBS. 0.93

00:46:35.000 He suggested that the Jews were basically in control of everything. 0.97

00:46:39.000 He was just a bunch of Louis Farrakhan-based anti-Semitic conspiracy nonsense.

00:46:44.000 And he got fired for it, right?

00:46:46.000 And then he put out an apology, which is well taken.

00:46:49.000 I think that when people put out apologies, we should generally accept the apology.

00:46:52.000 Absent evidence to suggest that they are not truly apologizing for what they've done that is wrong.

00:46:57.000 But there are people, like major people, who came out of the woodwork to support him.

00:47:02.000 They came out of the woodwork to support Nick Cannon's openly anti-Semitic and openly anti-white statements.

00:47:07.000 In fact, Charlemagne Tha God went on his podcast and he suggested that Nick Cannon's firing shows that the Jews have the power.

00:47:14.000 He'll get away with it.

00:47:15.000 The bottom line is Nick Cannon will get his job back.

00:47:18.000 Charlemagne Tha God doing this... It's amazing.

00:47:21.000 It's amazing.

00:47:22.000 Imagine if white people came out defending the anti-Semitic conspiracy theorizing of David Duke.

00:47:27.000 They would be, correctly, thrown out of Congress, right?

00:47:30.000 I mean, if you even express sentiments approaching that, like Steve King did in Iowa, many of us max out to your opponent.

00:47:36.000 When I say many of us, I mean, I led the way on that one, right?

00:47:38.000 Charlemagne the God is out there openly defending Nick Cannon.

00:47:40.000 P. Diddy offered him a job through Charlemagne the God defending Nick Cannon by saying, you know, he said that the Jews have all the power.

00:47:46.000 Him being fired shows the Jews have all the power. 1.00

00:47:48.000 So, um, when does Charlemagne the God actually have to answer for this bit of anti-Semitism?

00:47:55.000 Listen, Nick is my guy.

00:47:56.000 I hate it had to be him, but that's what you can do when you have the power.

00:48:00.000 And if there's one thing Jewish people have showed us, is they have the power. 0.89

00:48:03.000 I can't wait until the day black people are able to fire people for saying things about us that we deem racist. 0.98

00:48:09.000 We can barely get cops fired for actually killing us. 0.93

00:48:12.000 They fired Nick for referencing a theory written by a psychologist, okay, on racism.

00:48:18.000 Also though, if you're going to have that conversation, Have it with a Jewish scholar.

00:48:22.000 Have it with a rabbi. 0.99

00:48:24.000 Have it with someone from that community.

00:48:25.000 So anything you say that's not accurate, they can correct you.

00:48:28.000 Okay, that's insane.

00:48:29.000 Okay, so Charlemagne the God openly saying it's because the Jews have the power. 0.77

00:48:32.000 Well, the beautiful thing about conspiracy theories is because they are unfalsifiable, you can say pretty much anything, right? 0.99

00:48:37.000 The Jews are evil and have all the power. 1.00

00:48:39.000 You get fired because that's a bad thing to say. 1.00

00:48:41.000 And then the comeback is because the Jews have all the power. 1.00

00:48:44.000 P. Diddy comes out and he says, Nick Cannon, come home to Revolt TV, truly black-owned. 1.00

00:48:48.000 We got your back and love you and what you have done for the culture.

00:48:51.000 We are for our people first, for us, by us.

00:48:53.000 Let's go.

00:48:55.000 We are for our people first, for us, by us.

00:48:57.000 Let's go.

00:48:58.000 But remember, that's not racist.

00:49:00.000 True racism is just standing up for a free system in which everybody has opportunity.

00:49:03.000 That's true racism.

00:49:04.000 Okay, it's time for a quick thing that I like.

00:49:08.000 We have reached that point.

00:49:25.000 Okay, time for a quick thing that I like, which we haven't done in quite a while.

00:49:29.000 So I mentioned briefly on the show yesterday, the movie Mr. Jones.

00:49:32.000 I frankly could not believe that this movie was made.

00:49:35.000 So the movie's about Gareth Jones.

00:49:36.000 Gareth Jones was the journalist who first reported on the Holodomor, the murder, the starvation of millions of Ukrainians, Ukrainian farmers, during the five-year plan of Joseph Stalin that was intended to industrialize the Soviet Union by basically depriving everybody of grain in Ukraine and starving them to death.

00:49:55.000 It resulted in literal cannibalism.

00:49:57.000 I mean, people eating their family and friends because they had no food.

00:50:00.000 It resulted in mass starvation.

00:50:01.000 It resulted in millions of people dying.

00:50:03.000 It was horrifying.

00:50:04.000 Okay, so this movie is not just about Gareth Jones reporting on it and the evils of the Soviet Union. 0.70

00:50:08.000 It's also about the evils of the New York Times because Walter Duranty was the Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, the fiction writing Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, yes, nothing has changed much, who decided it was more worthwhile to back the narrative that the Soviet Union was a godsend than to report on the fact that the Soviet Union was slaughtering, via starvation, millions and millions of people in Ukraine.

00:50:27.000 Here's a little bit of the trailer.

00:50:30.000 Now there's nothing but wheat fields.

00:50:32.000 Grain is Stalin's gold.

00:50:33.000 Who gives the agenda now?

00:50:38.000 I don't have an agenda, unless you call truth an agenda.

00:50:41.000 Yes, but who's truth?

00:50:44.000 What will you do when the others come forward?

00:50:54.000 What's being done here will transform mankind.

00:50:58.000 We can still do something.

00:51:00.000 We cannot let Stalin get away with this.

00:51:02.000 What do you expect me to do exactly?

00:51:05.000 The Soviet Union is not the worker's paradise that was promised. 0.88

00:51:10.000 It is not the great experiment that you read about in the press.

00:51:17.000 The movie's terrific.

00:51:19.000 The movie's terrific.

00:51:19.000 And I kept waiting for the sucker punch, but the movie goes right at it.

00:51:22.000 I mean, there's a full scene in which Gareth Jones is talking with sort of an acolyte of Walter Durante, and she says, listen, the cause is really important, right?

00:51:31.000 Communism is the dream of the future, and there has to be time to allow the progress to be achieved.

00:51:37.000 And he says, people are being murdered.

00:51:39.000 You're justifying murder.

00:51:41.000 And it finally occurs to her that this is the case.

00:51:43.000 Walter Durante is really revealed in all of his true glory.

00:51:47.000 I mean, like in every way in this film.

00:51:49.000 And it is demonstrative of what happens when journalists become so invested in their cause, they're willing to falsify the facts and cover up evil.

00:51:56.000 And this is, unfortunately, that has not changed.

00:51:58.000 Not one iota.

00:51:59.000 One of the modern movements that we are watching in journalism right now is the attempt to not prioritize truth, but to prioritize my truth.

00:52:06.000 There's a scene in this film Where Gareth Jones, the character, where he is talking about the importance of journalism.

00:52:13.000 And he says, journalism is the quest for the truth.

00:52:16.000 And the person he's talking to says, well, there are many facets of truth.

00:52:19.000 He says, no, there's just like objective fact.

00:52:21.000 And then there's a lot of opinion, which is something I've said myself.

00:52:24.000 And that's the perspective of the film, which is what makes it a great film, right?

00:52:28.000 Because the fact is that when journalists become so invested in the cause that they have decided to ignore all countervailing evidence, they're no longer journalists.

00:52:35.000 They're now activists.

00:52:37.000 This is what's happening over at the New York Times, where the woke now run the place, where the quest for truth has become completely secondary to the idea that they are the repositories of all knowledge and all orthodoxy, and they're cramming it down from above.

00:52:49.000 It has not changed one iota.

00:52:51.000 This has not changed one iota.

00:52:52.000 From Walter Duranty to Nicole Hannah-Jones, when the narrative matters more than the facts, ugly things emerge.

00:52:58.000 And Nikole Hanna-Jones just won a Pulitzer Prize, just like Walter Duranty, for writing a bit of fiction.

00:53:02.000 Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize for suggesting that Stalin's Russia was the greatest place on Earth and that Ukraine was Disneyland.

00:53:09.000 Nikole Hanna-Jones just won a Pulitzer Prize for suggesting that America is a repository of all evil, was founded and steeped in evil, that the true founding of America was 1619, not 1776.

00:53:18.000 She wrote it in her own fact-challenged manner.

00:53:20.000 She is, by the way, a conspiracy theorist on a variety of topics.

00:53:23.000 Doesn't matter, the narrative above all.

00:53:25.000 Wesley Lowry, the former Washington Post reporter, has basically decided that it's time to ditch all notions of objective journalism, that what we need more is more of the Nikole Hannah-Jones style of journalism.

00:53:34.000 We need more opinion journalism.

00:53:35.000 But they won't label it opinion journalism, they will just label it morally right journalism.

00:53:39.000 See, the difference between what we do here at Daily Wire and what they do over at the New York Times now, or what they are doing in the Wesley Lowry world, is that I will openly tell you my assumptions, I will openly tell you my political point of view, and I will tell you that if you want to form your own viewpoint, You should listen to my show, and then you should go listen to Podsafe America.

00:53:56.000 You should read Daily Wire, and then you should go read Huffington Post.

00:53:58.000 You should read a variety of viewpoints, and then come away with your own perspective on the issue.

00:54:03.000 You shouldn't just swallow everything hook, line, and sinker, because I'm overt about my own biases.

00:54:07.000 What the sort of moral betters in journalism say is there is no countervailing point of view that is worth discussing.

00:54:13.000 They will openly say this.

00:54:14.000 They will say, we can't have false balance in which our views are pitted against other views because our views are so eminently right.

00:54:20.000 Our views are so eminently true.

00:54:21.000 The narrative is just that important.

00:54:23.000 And so we can't allow a countervailing narrative to get out there.

00:54:26.000 And so they will ignore information.

00:54:29.000 They will falsify information.

00:54:32.000 This is the world of journalism that exists in the here and now.

00:54:36.000 That doesn't mean there aren't good journalists at these institutions.

00:54:38.000 There are.

00:54:39.000 There are good journalists at the Washington Post.

00:54:40.000 There are good journalists over at the New York Times.

00:54:42.000 It means the institutions have decided, as institutions, to go back to the bad old days of Walter Duranty and to reward the people who openly acknowledge what they are doing.

00:54:50.000 At least Walter Duranty was lying to his superiors.

00:54:53.000 I mean, Walter Duranty was just telling his superiors stuff that wasn't true.

00:54:56.000 I don't think anybody at the New York Times is lying to their superiors.

00:54:58.000 I think they're just badgering their superiors.

00:55:01.000 The editors of the New York Times are not in control of the New York Times.

00:55:03.000 Pinch Solsberger is not in control of the New York Times.

00:55:05.000 Nikole Hannah-Jones is in charge of the New York Times.

00:55:08.000 So if you worry about the future of journalism, if you worry about the idea that the narrative ought to trump the facts, and if you worry that the woke are so invested in the narrative they can't give you the truth, you should check out the movie Mr. Jones.

00:55:18.000 It is excellent.

00:55:19.000 Excellent film.

00:55:20.000 By the way, I will note that it is amusing to me that it only took Like 70 years after Stalin died for people in Hollywood to start recognizing Stalin was a bad man.

00:55:28.000 There have been a couple movies made in the last three years recognizing that Stalinism was actually quite evil.

00:55:33.000 It only took them like 70 years on that one.

00:55:36.000 So I'm glad that they finally came around in Hollywood to the perspective that Stalin was indeed one of history's great monsters. 0.89
