00:00:00.000Hey, everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, our border remains wide open.
00:00:03.000Is it time for the 25th Amendment for Joe Biden?
00:00:06.000And NFL owners have decided to implement a further, an incredibly bizarre and aggressive agenda around CRT and around wokeism in the National Football League.

00:01:23.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:35.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:44.000What happens on college campuses does not stay on college campuses.
00:01:47.000It goes into corporate boardrooms, goes into the halls of Congress, and also into the owners association of the National Football League.
00:01:59.000Breaking out of the NFL's meeting, NFL says all teams must add minority offensive coach expands Rooney rule to include all women, to include women.
00:02:11.000So every year in March, there is an owners meeting that happens in Palm Beach.
00:02:16.000Sometimes they do it in Hawaii of all the owners.
00:02:20.000They get like three representatives in the room each.
00:02:23.000And it says the NFL has decided, quote, that it can be a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority according to the policy adopted by NFL owners during their annual meeting.
00:02:34.000And it'll be paid from a league-wide fund.
00:02:38.000So they're going to have an affirmative action coach just kind of walking around there, a female or a male.
00:02:45.000Now, look, I believe in the differences between men and women.
00:02:50.000Obviously, it's kind of a key hallmark of our program.
00:03:04.000I don't expect men to contribute to a lot of female sports or female-dominated sports.
00:03:11.000Quote, it's a recognition that at the moment, when you look at stepping stones for a head coach, they are the coordinator positions.
00:03:17.000Quote, we clearly have a trend where coaches are coming from the offensive side of the ball in recent years, and we clearly do not have as many minorities in the offensive coordinators.
00:03:26.000So, of course, now dead is the kind of entire program of meritocracy, and now the NFL wants to employ equity.
00:03:35.000Okay, be careful what you wish for, NFL.
00:03:37.000I love the fact that the NFL has been always a system on meritocracy.
00:03:42.000The National Basketball Association is as well.
00:03:45.000So, are they going to institute this for players too?
00:03:48.000Are you going to say, hey, we have too many black players in the NFL?
00:04:07.000Why are they because they don't want the bad headlines in their local news network?
00:04:11.000The whole thing is around fear, the lack of courage.
00:04:16.000In addition, the offensive assisted coach mandate, the league also, quote, added women to the language of the Rooney rule at all levels.
00:04:23.000It will now read that women and/or people of color can satisfy the requirement to interview two external minorities for top positions, including head coach.
00:04:31.000Women are not required to be interviewed, but they are now included in the fulfillment process.
00:04:39.000This was all spurred by Brian Flores' lawsuit, who said that there's widespread discontent amongst black coaches over NFL hiring practices, despite the fact that black coaches are earning millions of dollars for being coaches.
00:04:52.000The Rooney rule was put into place as an affirmative action rule that requires teams to interview ethnic minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs.
00:05:03.000You might say, oh, what does this matter?
00:05:05.000This is just another, you can just file this in the folder of the cultural changes happening in your country where we care less about the character of an individual and more about the skin color of somebody.
00:05:18.000And now it's come to the place where you would always think that meritocracy would reign supreme.
00:05:42.000Now you can't have that coaching position, or you're a woman.
00:05:46.000Now, the real question is: what is a woman?
00:05:50.000The NFL didn't mention that in their owners' meeting.
00:05:54.00040% of the league's coaches are already minorities, which is disproportionate, by the way, to minority's share of the United States population, at least in the black population.
00:06:07.000Continues by saying, quote, the truth of the matter is, at least, there aren't many women.
00:06:11.000Obviously, we can address this as time goes on, but we don't see this problem as a growing issue now that we're addressing it.
00:06:19.000You need a publicized mission statement to encourage and attract diverse members of prospective ownership groups.
00:06:24.000Quote, the membership will regard as a positive, meaningful factor if the group includes diverse individuals who would have a significant equity stake in and involved with the club serving as controlling owners of the club.
00:06:36.000Now, look, the left destroys everything it touches, and they're trying to destroy football.
00:06:43.000They're trying to destroy professional football.
00:06:46.000We already saw the damage that BLM has done to professional football, and especially, I can't remember the last time I watched basketball.
00:06:56.000Announced as part of Roger Goodell, the worst NFL commissioner in history, a diversity advisory committee to invite outside experts to evaluate the league's diversity.
00:07:06.000Hey, Connor, let's just commit some thought crimes.
00:07:08.000What percentage of the NFL are black or black men?
00:07:11.000So they're saying the NFL isn't diverse enough?
00:07:19.000So you're okay with the NFL being a majority black league and the NBA being like a 70 or 80% black league, but you don't want the coaches to be a meritocracy.
00:07:32.000Oh, in 2021, 71% of all the players in the NFL were people of color.
00:07:40.000So, Roger Goodell, are you going to now say, you know, we need to increase the amount of white players in the National Football League?
00:07:46.000If there is any industry or any community where this racist garbage just is completely self-owning, it would be the National Football League and the National Basketball Association.
00:07:57.000More black people have become millionaires in the NFL, disproportionate than any other major proportion, I should say, than any other major institution.
00:09:19.000It's now into the place where we used to think this would be a pastime.
00:09:22.000Now, thankfully, Major League Baseball started to go a little bit woke in 2020, and I think they've pushed back against it pretty effectively.
00:09:30.000Out of every major sport in America, the least woke would be hockey.
00:09:35.000And I don't even think hockey is as major of a sport as baseball.
00:09:39.000The statement does not require minority participation in ownership groups.
00:09:43.000The Denver Broncos will be the first test case.
00:09:45.000They're in the midst of evaluating interested investors for their sale process.
00:09:49.000Rooney said it was his understanding that several of the groups had minority participation.
00:09:55.000So basically, they got to go find like Oprah, and she has to go buy a sports team.
00:10:43.000Does it make any sense that the same company who controls half of online retail also passively eavesdrops on your private conversations at your home?
00:10:50.000What about the idea of a single company controlling 90% of all internet searches, run your email service and gets to track everything you do on your smartphone?
00:13:16.000We're going to use chemical weapons in Moscow if they use chemical weapons?
00:13:20.000So let's kind of go through these again.
00:13:26.000And I'm going to tell, I have a theory on this.
00:13:28.000It's not that he said things he didn't mean.
00:13:33.000He said something he didn't mean to say.
00:13:36.000These are two totally different things.
00:13:38.000It's not as if he expressed sentiments that he does not believe.
00:13:42.000But instead, he said stuff that he was not supposed to say publicly.
00:13:48.000Let's start with his speech where he said we need regime change in Russia, play cut one.
00:13:57.000We will have a different future, a brighter future rooted in democracy and principles, hope and light of decency and dignity and freedom and possibilities.
00:14:05.000For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.
00:14:33.00023 Biden says, look, I'm not going to apologize for anything.
00:14:37.000Play cut 23, pure gaslighting, play cut 23.
00:14:40.000Whether those are your personal feelings or your feelings as president, do you understand why people would believe you as someone commanding one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world, saying someone cannot remain in power is a statement of U.S. policy.
00:14:53.000And also, are you concerned about propaganda use of those remarks by the Russians?
00:17:12.000The left is waging a war on free speech with the help of big tech and the United States government.
00:17:18.000Thankfully, there are still companies that believe in our Constitution.
00:17:22.000That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
00:17:27.000They offer broad nationwide coverage because they use the same towers as the major carriers, get the same great service that funding the major carriers who donate to leftist causes.
00:17:35.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional service.
00:17:42.000I know the CEO of Patriot Mobile, Glenn.
00:17:45.000And Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
00:19:46.000And you're going to see when you're there, however you've been there, you're going to see, you're going to see women, young people stand on a stand in the middle of the front of a damn tank.
00:20:18.000And long term, since the start of his presidency, 2021, this number, the approval of Joe Biden on the economy, has just ticked down and down and down.
00:20:27.000This is a new low for him on the economy.
00:21:12.000Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back?
00:21:26.000It made it sound like just in the last couple of days, it sounded like you told U.S. troops they were going to Ukraine.
00:21:32.000It sounded like you said it was possible the U.S. would use a chemical weapon, and it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia.
00:21:49.000All the rest are just clamoring, obedient SEALs doing their training of clapping and asking Joe Biden whether he's going to enforce martial law against the unvaccinated in our country.
00:22:28.000I saw cartels on the hills with drone reconnaissance.
00:22:31.000I saw sophisticated binoculars being used.
00:22:35.000I saw triangulation strategies of multiple points of entry.
00:22:40.000Quote, the United States will surpass 1 million encounters of non-citizens attempting to enter the country by way of the southern border in the next couple of days.
00:22:48.000For the next six months of fiscal year 2022, according to U.S. Border Chief Raul Ortiz, a massive spike is occurring.
00:24:40.000In fact, you can go down to Yuma, just like I did, and you can go see one trailer after the other of contractors that are being paid to sit there, wake up, and do nothing all day long.
00:24:58.000The rubber rooms are places in downtown Chicago and Baltimore where they pay the teachers that have raped students or molested them or can't show up on time to literally sit and not teach.
00:25:43.000You here in the Del Rio sector where Eagle Pass is, they have been getting absolutely inundated with migrants.
00:25:48.000Just this past weekend alone, more than 2,500 apprehensions.
00:25:53.000The border patrol facilities are now way over capacity, and the federal government has started mass-releasing migrants into communities to help ease some of that pressure.
00:26:02.000Mass-releasing them into some communities.
00:26:05.000Now, the apprehensions in a prior administration under Donald Trump, that means they'd be sent back to Mexico or remaining in Mexico.
00:26:14.000Instead, when they get apprehended, they get lunch.
00:26:19.000They get the paperwork that is necessary to board a plane and vote in some states, thankfully not Arizona, and they're released into the interior of the United States.
00:26:32.000Border Patrol to send more agents to border for likely end of Title 42 and a massive immigration surge.
00:26:39.000Customs and Border Patrol is asking agents across the country to come to the Southwest sector to assist with the soon expected end of the Trump administration's emergency use of Title 42 Federal Health Statute.
00:26:49.000Now, why we don't mobilize the Marines, mobilize the National Guard, and secure this border once and for all?
00:26:56.000Our leaders don't actually care about the country, both Republican and Democrats.
00:26:59.000They want the cheap labor or they want the cheap votes that come across the southern border.
00:27:04.000Title 42 grants the government the ability to take emergency action to stop the, quote, introduction of communices.
00:27:09.000The Trump administration used Title 42 to designate hundreds of thousands of illegals for expulsion, arguing that allowing these migrants to enter the United States may help the spread of COVID-19.
00:27:20.000And it was a COVID era rule that Trump put in place at the beginning of COVID, just like we did with China.
00:27:26.000The issue is that that is coming to an end.
00:27:28.000But of course, they're going to end that to allow migrants to come across without testing your vaccines or anything else.
00:27:34.000While you have to take a vaccine to go to work, if you work at a hospital, and you have to wear a mask when you board a plane.
00:27:40.000When you go and see the southern border for yourself, it is hard to believe.
00:27:45.000It's hard to believe that in a wealthy, previously strong country, that we don't have the will or the ability to secure our own southern border.
00:27:59.000Our leaders just don't have the creativity, the ingenuity, or the willingness to actually get it done.
00:28:06.000You go down there and you will see billions of dollars of steel rusting away.
00:28:15.000Not allowed to put it together, not allowed to put it into a wall.
00:28:18.000When you go talk to Border Patrol down in Yuma, they will tell you, look, I want to be able to do something.
00:28:24.000I wish I could do something, but I can't.
00:28:32.000He said, We catch them, and then we release them in the interior, gave them paperwork.
00:28:36.000Less than 10% actually show up for their court dates.
00:28:39.000We have become an unnecessarily overly tolerant society, tolerant of crime, tolerant of the erosion of our sovereignty, tolerant of the illegal invasion of America.
00:28:53.000Someone who explains how we got here better than anyone else is Christopher Caldwell in his book, Age of Entitlement, one of the best books ever written about how we got into the state of affairs we are right now, where we prioritized the disadvantaged victim over the nation, the alleged disadvantaged victim.
00:29:10.000So there's a question of whether or not the kind of woke regime will, well, people ever correct themselves.
00:29:16.000Is there going to be kind of a moment where they try to walk some of it back?
00:29:18.000Well, MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, my grandfather was a Sloan fellow, so some family ties to MIT.
00:29:27.000They have this very controversial new announcement where they're saying, okay, we're now going to bring back the SAT and ACT requirement because the last couple of years, due to the woke-ism that has taken over the country, they're like, yeah, we don't need SATs and ACTs anymore.
00:29:43.000But they're bringing it back, and it's very controversial at MIT.
00:29:47.000So they have this guy that they interviewed who is Schmill.
00:29:52.000His name is Stuart Schmill, and he is responsible for trying to implement the standards of how one gets into MIT.
00:30:03.000And so they have an entire, it's so funny.
00:30:06.000They have an entire website dedicated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology website, MIT, which is supposed to be, it's one of the best engineering schools on the planet, that and Caltech, where they have a long explanation as to why they're bringing back exams.
00:30:24.000First question: why is MIT reinstating the SAT and ACT requirement?
00:30:30.000It says, quote, this is one of my favorite lines in the entire thing: quote, we want to be confident that an applicant has academic preparation and non-cognitive skills to do well in our challenging, fast-paced academic environment.
00:30:45.000My favorite part of this, though, is when they say, quote, our research shows that in most cases, we cannot reliably predict students that will do well in MIT unless we consider standardized test results alongside grades, coursework, and other factors.
00:31:02.000And the math component of testing turns out to be the most important.
00:31:05.000Who would have thought that math would be necessary at MIT?
00:31:08.000Now, of course, the wokeys, they've been trying to get rid of standardized testing for a long time.
00:31:34.000Quote, I just said this, our research has shown that in most cases, we cannot reliably predict students will do well at MIT unless we considered standardized test results.
00:31:42.000The geniuses at MIT need to figure that out?
00:31:45.000Now, here's my favorite thing, though, is where they say the journalist says, Well, what do you say to those who argue that tests create structural barriers for socioeconomically disadvantaged and or underrepresented students?
00:31:57.000He, of course, Stuart Schmill responds very politically correct.
00:32:01.000I appreciate this question, which we've kept foremost in our minds as we reviewed our research and policies.
00:32:06.000MIT admissions has a strong commitment to diversity, and it's important to us that we minimize unfair barriers to our applicants wherever applicants wherever possible.
00:32:13.000Now, MIT more than any other college, because they are engineering-focused, which is team reality, not stuff about how men can become pregnant, is that they can't afford to make diversity more important than competency.
00:32:28.000So, MIT, very quietly, that's why they do this whole press release of question and answer.
00:32:32.000They're like, hey, we kind of can't keep doing this thing or else our entire school is going to fall apart.
00:32:37.000California is one of a handful of states.
00:32:40.000California education code that allows a parent or guardian to submit a written school request to exclude his or her child from state-mandated assessments.
00:32:48.000Okay, it continues at MIT, quote, we have found, however, that when we use SAT and ACT increase access to the MIT for students from those groups relative to other things we can consider.
00:32:58.000The reason for this is educational inequality impacts all aspects of a prospective student's preparation and application, not just test taking.
00:33:06.000As I wrote, low-income students, unrepresented students of color, and other disadvantaged populations often do not attend schools that offer advanced coursework.
00:33:14.000This is so unbelievably racist, by the way.
00:33:17.000He's basically be like, okay, students of color aren't as smart, so we're going to have to compensate them.
00:33:23.000They often cannot afford expensive enrichment opportunities, cannot expect lengthy letters of recommendation from their overburdened teachers, or cannot otherwise benefit from this kind of educational capital.
00:33:35.000Meanwhile, we know that the pandemic was most disruptive to our least resourced students who have no consistent coursework of grading for the last two years now.
00:33:43.000I realize that my argument may sound counterintuitive to those who have heard that the SAT and ACT exam raises barriers for access, but I don't want to ignore those challenges with, or he answers none of these questions.
00:33:57.000MIT is basically saying in like this word salad, this is what they're saying.
00:34:01.000They're saying, listen, we need a school.
00:34:05.000We need to keep some sort of standards, and we're going to pretend it's for diversity.
00:34:08.000But in reality, if we don't, this entire enterprise will fall apart.
00:34:12.000Lesson, the woke regime is going to have some pushback.
00:34:16.000And if they're pushing back to now bring back SATs and ACTs at MIT after they got rid of them, there might be some trouble in paradise when the wokeys were in charge.
