00:00:39.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:59.000When you go take out a loan with Chase, when you go take out a loan with Wells Fargo, you might as well go give the money to Joe Biden.
00:02:07.000So when you go to DC next and you go travel, maybe with your family, why don't you just get a cashier's check and drop it off at the White House entrance?
00:02:15.000That's what you're doing when you bank with these woke losers at Wells Fargo.
00:02:20.000So take out a loan with the good guys.
00:04:40.000Yeah, no, the way it was constructed, the argument is really, really brilliant.
00:04:44.000Yeah, here's the article headline: South Africa, the first country built on critical race theory, officially implodes.
00:04:50.000And I thought to myself, that is so perfect.
00:04:53.000What were to happen if we founded a country and built a country on all of these academic ideas that we see talked about in higher education?
00:06:00.000The point is that the rioters have plundered shops and entire shopping malls.
00:06:04.000If you have not seen what's been happening in South Africa, then you are living in a media simulation.
00:06:11.000It's one of the most important stories happening in the world.
00:06:14.000Now, South Africa, many people listening to this that are under the age of 30, myself included, have no real memory of how South Africa was the old Israel.
00:06:26.000South Africa used to be the trendy celebrity concert-filled issue that people would talk about to Virtue Signal for good reason, largely, because South Africa was living under legitimate legal apartheid.
00:07:08.000So South Africa was able to turn the page on apartheid.
00:07:14.000But instead of founding themselves on American principles, they snuck in these academic theories of critical theory into their laws, and no one really ever said anything about it.
00:07:25.000So South Africa, I think it was 1994, was their re-founding, was the first modern nation to be re-founded on specifically anti-white principles of critical race theory and is now reaping the whirlwind of that choice.
00:08:36.000And so South Africa was previously a Dutch colony.
00:08:41.000And so South Africans speak a language called Afrikaans, right?
00:08:48.000Which is this kind of mixture blend of different languages.
00:08:53.000South Africa, just so you know, is natural resource rich.
00:09:00.000Now, before the Dutch colonized it, the Portuguese explored it, but the Dutch were really, they ran the port right around 1647, where two employees of the Dutch East India Trading Company were shipwrecked at Cape Town, South Africa.
00:09:16.000Now, all these guys with these Dutch names of Jean van Riebeck and all these people started to found a lot of cities in South Africa, Johannesburg, for example.
00:09:28.000And you get a lot of these books that are written about South Africa.
00:09:32.000So Winston Churchill actually fought in the Boer War all the way down in South Africa.
00:09:38.000And so the Boer republics boarded and overlapped it.
00:09:42.000And then eventually South Africa gained independence.
00:09:46.000Now, racial segregation was previously mostly informal, but then it got actually formalized.
00:09:52.000The Union of South Africa started in May of 1910, and the Natives Land Act of 1913 severely restricted ownership of land by blacks in South Africa.
00:10:08.000This started decades of different movements, and segregation was institutionalized.
00:10:17.000For example, there would be signs by order of provincial secretary, these public premises and the amenities thereof have been reserved for the executive use of white persons.
00:10:27.000The segregation was all throughout South African society growing up and growing up if you grew up in South Africa.
00:10:35.000So what ended up happening is when South Africa was re-founded in 94, they did not embrace a form of a constitutional republic like we had.
00:10:46.000Instead, they considered to hyper-focus on race even more.
00:10:51.000So the African National Congress Party is incredibly corrupt and ineffective.
00:10:59.000Now, people don't like talking about this, but remember back with the story during Donald Trump that got a lot of controversy, how white farmers had to give up their land to blacks based solely on the color of their skin.
00:11:11.000Now, there was some misinformation around that story, but it was true in certain provinces across South Africa.
00:11:17.000Now, you have to understand, though, that there's this idea in South Africa to always try and elevate the ethnic minority.
00:11:26.000For example, there's a thing called the Triple Boule scorecard, the broad-based black empowerment economic employment.
00:11:33.000And there's nothing broad or based about it.
00:11:35.000It is simply trying to achieve the equity or communitarian-style redistribution that we see in our country.
00:11:43.000South Africa is something that you all listening to this right now have to become very familiar with.
00:11:49.000Because when your friends have these coffee shop-style debates about critical race theory, you need to point to a real example.
00:11:56.000Needed to point to the murders and the rioting and the looting and the unraveling of a society that is rich in natural resources, that was once going to be an economic superpower and is now on the verge of a civil war.
00:12:10.000And that's what critical race theory gets us.
00:13:26.000What happens when you found a country on critical race theory?
00:13:29.000And so we've gone through in great detail the ideas and the ideals of the American founding, which is at odds with everything critical race theory believes in.
00:13:39.000But there are seven truths that are mentioned in the preamble of the Constitution.
00:13:44.000There are seven aims and objectives of the United States Constitution.
00:13:49.000Josh Hammer at our Turning Point USA Student Action Summit said this, and it was so obvious.
00:13:54.000So I went back to my hotel room late last night and I reread it and I said, of course there is.
00:14:00.000And I want to read it for you because when you form a government, you're really forming a cooperation.
00:14:05.000You're coming together with an agreed-upon purpose.
00:14:08.000So in this short sentence, I think it's all one sentence.
00:14:12.000There are seven things that we are trying to accomplish as a people.
00:14:15.000We, the people of the United States, number one, in order to form a more perfect union, one, establish justice, two, ensure domestic tranquility, three, provide for the common defense, four, promote the general welfare, five, secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, do ordain this constitution for the blessings of the United States for the United States.
00:16:14.000Anyways, we've talked about that on the show.
00:16:16.000But regardless of if they were devout themselves, they were all so steep in the language and the thinking and the rhythms of the Bible that it completely saturates and permeates all of our financial ordination back then was a strictly religious thing.
00:16:32.000And so this idea of ordaining, which is the second definition of the word, has a secular meaning, is a new kind of phenomenon.
00:16:39.000Anyway, but you look at a country that doesn't have that.
00:16:58.000This idea of a kind of multi-decade chapter in our country, mostly this 80s and 90s and early 2000s, for 30 years, we had plenty of problems and bad decisions made by our elites, but you really can't find outside of one incident, the Rodney King riots.
00:17:46.000I think it didn't happen far from there.
00:17:49.000For 30 years, we had this moment past civil rights era where you saw the black middle class have an opportunity to really grow, and some blacks took advantage of it.
00:17:59.000You also saw the heavy hand of government from the great society.
00:18:02.000But generally, this idea of race was being de-emphasized in American society.
00:18:07.000Now we're deciding to go back to how we were in the 1960s, to go back to how it was in the 1800s.
00:18:12.000And quite honestly, you look at South Africa, this is what this looks like in full implementation.
00:18:20.000You know, we spend a lot of time in the clouds here, which is a good thing.
00:18:23.000You should spend time in the clouds, which is ideas and principles and morals and philosophy, which means the love of wisdom.
00:18:29.000Literally, go back to the Greek word of philosophy, it means love of wisdom.
00:18:33.000But it's also important to see when these ideas are implemented.
00:18:51.000So the Washington Post calls unrest in South Africa riots, but they call unrest in America mostly peaceful protesting.
00:18:59.000Remember when, what's her name, Kurtz Weil, who wrote that piece that said the case for looting?
00:19:06.000We're going to see the normalization of theft.
00:19:08.000We're already seeing, by the way, did you know looting is legal in San Francisco if you steal less than $900?
00:19:18.000Oscar Weil, they will not, I wasn't that far off, they will not charge you with a crime in South Africa if they steal if you steal less than $900.
00:19:29.000So South Africa is a perfect example of what happens when the people in charge of America get their way and they implement it.
00:20:07.000South Africa has the BBBE organization of government.
00:20:13.000It is called the Economic Freedom Fighting Alliance, otherwise known as the broad-based economic employment.
00:20:22.000Now, there's nothing based about this.
00:20:23.000Instead, the policy is used to try and achieve equity, broad-based black economic inequality, equality.
00:20:30.000That sounds like something that was workshopped in BLM.
00:20:34.000Now, I'm going to be very honest with you guys, and we have a great relationship together with our audience.
00:20:39.000I should have talked earlier about South Africa in regards to critical race theory.
00:20:43.000The BBBE, which is a racist institution in South Africa, is a government agency that relies openly and explicitly on injecting racial preferences throughout the economy.
00:20:54.000And again, I'm reading from Revolver.news.
00:20:57.000Companies who receive a BBBE scorecard based on hiring black workers, elevating black management, and giving black South Africans a share of ownership.
00:21:10.000Companies with a high score are given favorable tax treatment.
00:21:13.000Corporate actors are strongly incentivized to give contracts to high scorers as well.
00:22:16.000In order to do business in South Africa, you must win over the anti-racist division of the government.
00:22:24.000But there's more going on than just racial discrimination.
00:22:30.000There's also, when you have rampant affirmative action, this is so obvious, it is an invitation to cronyism and corruption.
00:22:38.000All these racial quota laws to try to hire blacks in South Africa is the heaviest on small businesses, where large mega corporations, they have no problem complying to this.
00:22:50.000Now, we talk a lot up in the free market space, of which, you know, Turning Point is part of and we spend a lot of time in, about burdensome regulation.
00:22:59.000And remember, we love markets as a means to an end, not as an end to a means, meaning we're not trying to get to a place of free markets.
00:23:07.000We're trying to use free markets when useful to expand human flourishing, protect private property, rebuild the American family.
00:23:14.000And if we have to insert ourselves into a market when there's not a desirable outcome, like families getting obliterated because of some corporation that did something, then we should be happy to do that.
00:23:24.000We should be reluctant to do it at times, but markets should work for us.
00:25:17.000Well, the Guptas built a relationship with the now-jailed Jacob Zuma.
00:25:23.000Zuma became president and his actions benefited the Guptas to such a degree, it constituted state capture.
00:25:30.000The Guptas owned a portfolio of companies that enjoyed lucrative contracts with South African government departments and state-owned conglomerates.
00:25:38.000Public officials responsible for various state bodies say they were directly instructed by the Guptas to take decisions.
00:25:44.000Basically, South Africa is run by a ruling class.
00:25:56.000Found a loophole, but then they use that loophole to exploit the rest of the country of South Africa.
00:26:03.000Now, South Africa isn't the only country that has done this.
00:26:06.000Zimbabwe also in March of 2020 started to give land back to white farmers after they wrecked the economy because Zimbabwe took it from white farmers.
00:26:17.000In fact, one of our board members at Turning Point USA, when it used to be called Rhodesia, had land stolen from the evil communist-funded Mugabe.
00:26:33.000In fact, people don't even know, people don't know this, obviously, that the World Council for Soviet Expansion, you know, the last conference they ever held was held in Zimbabwe?
00:26:49.000And so, what does this mean for us in America?
00:26:54.000This means when you elect a president, a congressman, or a senator that talks the way that Ibram X. Kendi does or Corey Booker does, you're going to get South Africa, a rather independently and otherwise rich nation, by the way.
00:27:10.000It was the standard bearer in all of Africa.
00:27:12.000It's called the crown jewel of Africa.
00:27:14.000Botswana, actually, is Zimbabwe, Botswana is considered the crown jewel, but that's all the same region, by the way, just so we're clear.
00:27:20.000South Africa is on what's called the central plateau.
00:28:40.000And I think they were, I don't remember how it was.
00:28:43.000I don't even remember if it would politically apply today, but it actually did a good job of explaining kind of like this idea of an outsider coming and governing an insider because literally aliens were governing humans.
00:29:03.000And what happens is they seem to all end up in the same place, right?
00:29:08.000Right now, it's interesting because we all grew up learning about the Holocaust and all of these stories that are tragic and they're sort of ingrained in us.
00:29:16.000But that was the ultimate scapegoat, right?
00:29:18.000This was heaping all of your grievances and all of the problems that you thought about your culture and your society and your economy onto one people group, right?
00:29:27.000And how does that end in a terrible, terrible way?
00:29:30.000And I'm not saying that these are equal by any means, but it's the same.
00:31:18.000In order to learn more about why anti-white racism is thriving in the country, I spoke to the deputy president of Black First Land First, one of South Africa's more radical political parties.
00:31:33.000Last year, Andilem Kitama founded the Black First Land First, which he says aims to put land and the economy back in the hands of black South Africans.
00:31:46.000BLF is taking their entire political party is founded on redistribution.
00:31:55.000Their entire political party is founded on equity.
00:32:48.000Kind of sounds almost where America is headed.
00:32:51.000And the 55 million person experiment of critical race theory is one of the most murderous, chaotic, and now it's on the verge of a legitimate civil war.
00:33:04.000As South African society falls apart, it's going back now to levels of violence we have not seen since the end of apartheid, where some people feared that full-blown genocide was imminent.
00:33:18.000And I have a lot of friends in South Africa, a lot, that I've met throughout the years at gun conventions and hunting conventions, and they say they have not seen this kind of outrage in a long time.
00:33:32.000South Africa has one police officer for every 400 people.
00:33:39.000The police are borderline useless at actually protecting the nation's law-abiding citizens who are forced to rely on private security or their own devices to keep themselves safe.
00:33:51.000And by the way, that's a lot higher number than in America.
00:33:58.000And you were talking about just, you know, you're not even able to go out at night.
00:34:02.000Well, if you've ever been to Africa, you know that a lot of these white compounds, you know, from expats that are living there, everything's fenced, gated, private security, the whole thing.
00:34:14.000So we talk about, we dream of an America where you don't have to lock your doors again.
00:34:19.000Most people in Africa are dreaming about in South Africa specifically, but Kenya's the same way, many places the same way.
00:34:25.000They're dreaming about a place where they don't need to have private security and fences and gates and barbed wire.
00:34:30.000This goes back to the sociopathic nature of the American ruling class.
00:34:33.000I don't think our billionaire class actually enjoys people.
00:34:36.000I think they actually enjoy their people and they want to be away from them.
