00:03:59.000 Seasite for details. 0.76
00:04:03.000 One of the top stories right now is how Facebook has now decided to say that it's okay to state that the Chinese coronavirus was made, was man-made and made in a laboratory. 0.87
00:04:17.000 This was one of the most incredible movements of gaslighting of the Overton window that I've seen recently. 0.90
00:04:24.000 Basically, moving in real time. 0.87
00:04:28.000 We were not allowed to say for the last year, even though we kept on saying it, that the Chinese coronavirus was likely manufactured in the laboratory. 0.53
00:04:37.000 And now all of a sudden, it seems as if this is perfectly acceptable because the facts are coming out in the origins of the Chinese coronavirus that shows that this was likely made through gain of function research in a laboratory.
00:04:53.000 Even Dr. Fauci himself, cut four, says he is not convinced COVID-19 developed naturally here at yourself.
00:05:00.000 This didn't come from a bat.
00:05:02.000 This didn't come from the Himalayas.
00:05:04.000 This didn't come from a wet market.
00:05:06.000 Dr. Fauci himself is now moving. 0.59
00:05:09.000 He's gaslighting the entire population, Cut Four. 1.00
00:05:12.000 So I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally? 0.97
00:05:16.000 No, I'm not convinced about that.
00:05:19.000 I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened.
00:05:28.000 Cut 15, Mike Pompeo, the Chinese Communist Party, knows where the virus came from, Cut 15.
00:05:35.000 The Chinese Communist Party knows where this came from.
00:05:38.000 They know who patient zero was. 0.88
00:05:40.000 They could fix this.
00:05:41.000 If I'm wrong, they could embarrass Mike Pompeo.
00:05:43.000 Come on, bring it.
00:05:45.000 Show the world that this didn't come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:05:48.000 They're not going to do that, Dana, because they know that they covered this up in the same way that Chernobyl was covered up for so long.
00:05:55.000 We saw the same results.
00:05:56.000 Millions of people dead.
00:05:58.000 So it's now the burden of proving otherwise is on the Chinese Communist Party and Joe Biden to show that this was not manufactured, that it didn't come from a lab. 0.61
00:06:12.000 But what if I told you that there is another virus raging in our country right now that was also manufactured and was made in a laboratory? 0.82
00:06:23.000 I was reading this story this morning by Christopher Ruffo, who I think is terrific, from city-journal.org. 0.86
00:06:32.000 And the story is so stunning, it's still difficult for me to comprehend the implications of this.
00:06:40.000 Lockheed Martin is a massive defense contractor.
00:06:44.000 Lockheed Martin builds missiles.
00:06:50.000 They help with highly sophisticated military technology.
00:06:55.000 They receive billions of dollars from the federal government, the nation's largest defense contractor.
00:07:03.000 It just came out yesterday that Lockheed Martin sent their employees, 13 of their employees, to a diversity consulting firm called White Men as Full Diversity Partners.
00:07:18.000 That's an actual firm that you can hire to come bring into your corporation.
00:07:21.000 Hard to believe.
00:07:23.000 And these Lockheed employees, all senior leaders in the company, had to go through white privilege training to reconfigure their view as Lockheed Martin contractors that we our taxpayer dollars are funding.
00:07:41.000 They had to go through a series of free association tests where they had to list connotations near the term white men.
00:07:51.000 The trainers said that white men are most likely to be associated with old, racist, privileged, anti-women, angry, Aryan nation, KKK, founding fathers, guns, guilty, and can't jump.
00:08:03.000 They obviously never heard of Dick Fosbury before.
00:08:08.000 And so this is now happening at our defense contractors.
00:08:14.000 We already know it's happening in the military.
00:08:15.000 We know that critical race theory is all throughout the Department of Defense.
00:08:21.000 And so Lockheed Martin responded and they said, we have these robust trainings and we're perfectly proud of it.
00:08:27.000 The training continued by saying that they need to convince and change the hearts and minds of the Lockheed Martin employees, again, a defense contractor, deconstructing employees' quote, white male privilege through a series of, quote, privilege statements to make them agents of change.
00:08:47.000 Now, we've heard this at the elementary school level.
00:08:49.000 We know this is happening in our nursery schools.
00:08:52.000 We know this is happening in our preschools.
00:08:54.000 We know this is happening at Coca-Cola.
00:08:56.000 We know this is happening at our universities.
00:08:58.000 We know this is happening in our civil service.
00:09:00.000 We know this is happening in our military.
00:09:01.000 And now it's happening in the contractors that actually make the weapons. 0.75
00:09:08.000 So this is a consulting firm that is leading this called White Men as Full Diversity Partners. 0.54
00:09:13.000 That's actually the name of their firm in this unbelievably controversial training program.
00:09:19.000 So where does this all come from?
00:09:23.000 What if I told you that this ideology that has infected Lockheed Martin, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, American Airlines, the United States Defense Department, Space Command, is a virus?
00:09:40.000 What if I told you that critical race theory was built in a laboratory?
00:09:47.000 It was built for the purpose of which it is actually achieving right now.
00:09:52.000 This virus called critical race theory was built to attack the vulnerabilities of our country.
00:10:04.000 We do not know how to deal with the accusation of being called a racist.
00:10:08.000 Our society has no antibodies to protect against being called a terrible bigot or a racist.
00:10:16.000 White guilt could be called our co-morbidity.
00:10:21.000 When your children are being taught that there's something wrong because of the color of their skin and not caring about character or the soul of a human being, they've been infected with critical race theory.
00:10:33.000 And today I want to explore with you, instead of mass inoculating our entire society against the Chinese coronavirus, we need to inoculate America against the critical race theory virus.
00:10:43.000 Where did it come from?
00:10:46.000 Well, I'm going to tell you who the Dr. Anthony Fauci of Critical Race Theory is.
00:10:50.000 I'm going to tell you where the Wuhan Institute of Virology that probably built the Chinese coronavirus, I'm going to tell you where the critical race theory virus came from.
00:11:00.000 Because the same way that gain of function research started this virus that we know that has impacted and locked down our society over the last year, we are now turning the corner against the Chinese coronavirus. 0.89
00:11:10.000 But this virus, critical race theory, is here to stay.
00:11:14.000 There is no successful inoculation strategy currently against critical race theory.
00:11:19.000 It's contagious.
00:11:21.000 It spreads like you wouldn't believe.
00:11:23.000 I was just driving the streets of Auburn Hills, Michigan, and these big signs say their names.
00:11:30.000 Black Lives Matter.
00:11:32.000 Revolution is imminent.
00:11:36.000 Who did this?
00:11:38.000 Why is it so effective?
00:11:40.000 Because it's weakening America's ability To survive and thrive as a nation.
00:11:51.000 Critical race theory was built in a lab.
00:11:54.000 Who built it?
00:11:55.000 And for what purpose?
00:11:59.000 The school year is ending, and families are making plans to send their kids to summer camp.
00:12:03.000 But kids with a mom or dad in prison are often forgotten and overlooked.
00:12:07.000 That's where prison fellowships' angel tree camps come in.
00:12:10.000 And I'm partnering again this year with Prison Fellowship to send 163 kids to camp this summer.
00:12:16.000 Their lives will never be the same.
00:12:18.000 And neither will yours when you help send a kid to camp.
00:12:22.000 A one-time donation of $200 provides a scholarship to send a kid to an angel tree summer camp where they can build a relationship with a caring camp counselor, hear the gospel, and experience the love of God in the great outdoors.
00:12:33.000 If you have fond memories of a summer camp experience, you can help make a child have some of those best memories one can have.
00:12:40.000 $200 sends one child to camp.
00:12:43.000 Your donation of any amount will help.
00:12:45.000 Call 888-206-2802.
00:12:48.000 That's 888-206-2802.
00:12:52.000 Or go to charliekirk.com to make your donation today.
00:12:55.000 Help a kid go to summer camp, charliekirk.com.
00:13:01.000 Who is the Dr. Anthony Fauci of critical race theory?
00:13:04.000 Where did this come from?
00:13:06.000 Well, this has been a multi-decade effort, of course, funded by George Soros, by corporate oligarchs, through college professors, but it's really kind of hit a critical mass recently because the people that are behind critical theory, and we're going to talk about that, they've engineered the virus of critical race theory to be able to attach the proteins to the American society more effectively than ever before.
00:13:37.000 So in the 1930s, there was an institution called the Frankfurt School.
00:13:42.000 The Frankfurt School, which was founded in the Weimar Republic, was around between 1918 and 1933.
00:13:50.000 It comprised of intellectuals and academics and political dissidents.
00:13:54.000 They were mostly Marxists that were very critical of capitalism and private property.
00:14:02.000 And we've talked about many times on this show that property and the ability to own private property is directly linked with freedom.
00:14:09.000 That is a non-negotiable for conservatives.
00:14:13.000 That your ability to be able to own your thoughts, own a home, be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor is a critical component of Western society.
00:14:24.000 So the Frankfurt School was very critical of private property ownership.
00:14:30.000 Now, in 1933, when the National Socialist Workers' Party began to gain power, they started to kick a lot of the Frankfurt School thinkers out of their country.
00:14:42.000 The National Socialist Workers' Party in the 1930s and early 1940s started to kick people like Herbert Marcuse and others out of Germany.
00:14:51.000 They found a home in America.
00:14:54.000 And in America, they started to wrestle with these ideas of Marxist philosophy, not on pure economics of oppressor versus oppressed, but also they started to entertain a broader idea of critical philosophy.
00:15:09.000 Rooted in the false teachings of Hegel and the dialectical method, a person by the name of Herbert Marcuse, as I just mentioned, he started to really push the boundaries, and he is some would call the father of the new left.
00:15:26.000 In America, he realized that just a pure economic critique of American society is not going to be a way to uproot the current power dynamics that were found in the 1950s and the 1960s.
00:15:42.000 Herbert Marcuse famously wrote a book by the name of One Dimensional Man, where he pushed the boundaries on what is truth.
00:15:51.000 Is there any sort of thing that we can cling to as objective reality?
00:15:57.000 He was aided by the sociopathic smear merchants by the name of Jacques Derrida and Michelle Foucault, the two Frenchmen who basically found a platform in Yale University, and they all kind of worked in tandem in different pockets to try and delegitimize and deconstruct Western society.
00:16:20.000 Herbert Marcuse developed critical theory in a laboratory, not literally, but metaphorically, the same as at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:16:30.000 Through Harvard Law School and Yale, these ideas started to spread, and basically it was this.
00:16:35.000 Critical theory believes that whatever power dynamic exists, and in Western society, that is a private property, free speech, looking at the character of a human being, that sort of idea, the family matters, that we must have permanence, not progress for the sake of progress.
00:16:52.000 Herbert Marcuse developed this theory similar to a virus, saying we are now going to say that there's no such thing as individuals.
00:17:01.000 Science is inherently racist.
00:17:03.000 Everything is racist.
00:17:04.000 And we must uproot these power dynamics.
00:17:08.000 Now, for a couple decades, this was very unappealing because Martin Luther King Jr. said we must care about people's character, not their skin color.
00:17:16.000 But Marcuse was much more cynical than that.
00:17:19.000 He thought eventually people were going to go back to their tribes and back to skin color and away from just talking about someone's spirit or their soul, their character or their actions.
00:17:29.000 Marcuse, being dead for quite some time, he died in 1979.
00:17:34.000 But his disciples like Angela Davis and from there, people like Paul Gottfried and eventually people that didn't learn directly from him, Tahanisi Coates and Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi, they are now carrying the banner of critical theory.
00:17:50.000 They are the ones that are now doing the work of basically spreading this virus throughout American society.
00:17:59.000 The virus is designed to dismantle and disrupt the country that we live in.
00:18:06.000 It was built in a laboratory.
00:18:07.000 This is not a mistake.
00:18:08.000 This is not something that came out of nowhere.
00:18:10.000 This was intentional thinking.
00:18:13.000 So how do we protect ourselves against it?
00:18:15.000 I want to get here to cut 71, the impact of the critical race theory virus.
00:18:20.000 I mentioned this earlier, the Lockheed Martin story, defense contractor.
00:18:25.000 Here for it yourself, Christopher Ruffo, friend of mine, from City Journal, he came on our program.
00:18:30.000 Listen to him on Tucker Carlson explaining the story.
00:18:32.000 Cut 71.
00:18:34.000 Well, this is a long-standing training program.
00:18:37.000 Actually, 8,000 Lockheed Martin executives and employees have been through race re-education programs. 0.94
00:18:42.000 And this one was particularly galling.
00:18:44.000 They had these executives go through these exercises where they said that being a white male was analogous to being a KKK member, to being in an Aryan nation.
00:18:54.000 They also said that, you know, kind of funny way, white men can't jump and all of these slurs and stereotypes about their own origins.
00:19:02.000 And they take it through a series of exercises where they had to review 156 white male privileged statements, apologizing for their race, apologizing for their sex, apologizing for their orientation.
00:19:14.000 So I think he said 8,000 people went through that training.
00:19:17.000 I could have heard that wrong, which is stunning.
00:19:20.000 So critical race theory was developed by Herbert Marcuse, who is a Marxist from the Frankfurt School, kicked out of Germany, came into the States and developed this theory called critical theory.
00:19:31.000 Now, so there's critical law theory.
00:19:33.000 Let me tell you how critical law theory works. 0.57
00:19:35.000 Critical law theory would be a judge would give a shorter sentence to a black man and a longer sentence to a white man to try to right the wrongs of discrimination past. 0.62
00:19:48.000 That's what critical theory would be in law. 0.58
00:19:51.000 And critical race theory, rooted in critical analysis, is this idea that everything around you is a power dynamic between white people and black people. 0.55
00:20:03.000 That Oprah Winfrey is not actually a billionaire and LeBron James is not actually a billionaire.
00:20:08.000 No, those are just outliers and those things don't actually matter.
00:20:12.000 What really matters is the abolition of private property.
00:20:16.000 And this virus is raging at a pace that we've never seen before.
00:20:20.000 And I said this before, and I'll say this again.
00:20:22.000 Critical race theory has and will do far more damage to our country than COVID-19.
00:20:28.000 No doubt.
00:20:29.000 Critical race theory could destroy the entire program.
00:20:32.000 Critical race theory could make America decide to do something rather unprecedented, which was we just decide that we want to be weak, we want to shatter ourselves and run us over.
00:20:45.000 Now, if I was the Chinese Communist Party, I could make an argument why they would want to actually have the Chinese coronavirus, the one we just spent the last year needlessly locking ourselves down, spread across the world. 0.56
00:20:59.000 But the real virus that the Chinese Communist Party knows could be our downfall is the white guilt, self-hate, hate our country, our history, our culture, our language, our customs virus that we have no antibodies to protect ourselves against. 0.78
00:21:15.000 I hope you guys know that at Loyola Academy, New Trier, Evanston, District 214, District 211, Hinsdale, it's all over Hinsdale.
00:21:25.000 These ideas of teaching young children that white people are members of the Aryan nation, a 14-year-old, that they're part of the KKK, that there's something wrong with having white skin color, which of course is a racist belief, but they don't believe that's actually what racism is.
00:21:39.000 They believe racism is simply a power dynamic.
00:21:42.000 So this begs the question, how has this virus been so effective?
00:21:47.000 Why don't we have more effective antibodies?
00:21:50.000 Why isn't it when it presents itself in school board meetings, when it presents itself in our textbooks, we don't have parents, we don't have teachers saying, you know what, this is actually bigoted and racist.
00:22:01.000 Well, it's because our system has never seen something quite like this.
00:22:06.000 You see, they tried, they being the critical theorists and the Marxists, they tried different attempts to deconstruct us before.
00:22:15.000 They tried Occupy Wall Street.
00:22:16.000 I remember walking the streets of New York in Zuccotti Park with my father and my uncle Vinny when I went and visited West Point.
00:22:30.000 And we went to Zuccotti Park and all of Zuccotti Park, which is right near the financial district right near Wall Street, was filled with Occupy Wall Street.
00:22:38.000 Now, many of you that are listening that are younger, you might not remember the Occupy Wall Street movement.
00:22:43.000 The Occupy Wall Street movement was one of the largest counters to the Tea Party movement that we saw.
00:22:51.000 It was anti-capitalistic, but some of their complaints were actually probably legitimate.
00:22:56.000 I wasn't allowed to say that back then, and conservatives weren't allowed to say that because we were just so kind of stuck in this right versus left false struggle.
00:23:04.000 When in reality, yeah, there was actually some truth to how Goldman Sachs was running the country.
00:23:10.000 Probably some truth to that.
00:23:11.000 Now, was there a solution of eradicating private property and mass redistribution and this zeal for collectivism the solution?
00:23:19.000 Of course not.
00:23:21.000 So Occupy Wall Street failed.
00:23:24.000 And then there was the Me Too movement, which also failed.
00:23:28.000 And it's actually one of the most amazing things.
00:23:30.000 We don't actually talk about our success stories enough. 0.58
00:23:33.000 I have to say the conservative movement, I think actually one of the few things we can say we actually won over the last 10 years is I think we defeated the nonsense of the Me Too movement in the last 10 years.
00:23:47.000 It has fallen out of favor in most of the country.
00:23:51.000 And the Kavanaugh hearing was kind of the big gladiator match of the Me Too movement.
00:23:57.000 The Kavanaugh hearing was whether or not this sort of pathological, all men are the problem movement is going to be able to derail a rather decent and quite honestly boring man who drinks beer occasionally and has two daughters and has been loyally married to his wife and a phenomenal DC Circuit judge and worked in the Bush White House.
00:24:20.000 And that kind of put Me Too on trial and Me Too failed.
00:24:25.000 But then around 2014, simultaneously, the collectivists, the authoritarians, the Marxists, the Mercusaites, the people that wanted this virus, you have to understand, they were similar to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the critical race theorists were changing the configuration of the virus.
00:24:43.000 And finally, they realized the sweet spot, the point of entry, how to get this virus into the mainstream.
00:24:52.000 Because I'll tell you right now, if Lockheed Martin 10 years ago was doing this, Barack Obama would have spoken out against it and he would not have allowed it.
00:25:02.000 It's because the culture wasn't there.
00:25:04.000 So how did they move America so effectively over a decade, one decade? 0.67
00:25:11.000 Well, the answer was through this mass propaganda campaign of preying on what I believe to be the greatest, the most powerful force in American politics, which is guilt, specifically white guilt. 0.53
00:25:28.000 And white guilt is our comorbidity.
00:25:32.000 Shelby Steele, a black economist, Thomas Sowell, another black economist, they were saying this far before I was born, which is the point of entry was not to the black community. 0.87
00:25:43.000 No.
00:25:44.000 It was not through working class whites.
00:25:46.000 Obviously, no. 0.67
00:25:47.000 It was through upper middle class whites that had idle time and a lot of money and a desire to make themselves feel good under the disguise and the camouflage of changing the world. 0.57
00:25:58.000 And so as Occupy Wall Street failed and Me Too failed, then this last successful entry of the virus has taken us all by surprise.
00:26:10.000 Where I hear from Americans all across the country, I don't recognize my country.
00:26:15.000 I don't recognize this sort of conversation on race.
00:26:19.000 And obviously the George Floyd incidents last year, just about a year ago, accelerated this beyond anything we would have ever anticipated.
00:26:28.000 It just happened to hit the perfect chord.
00:26:30.000 You had a lot of people sitting at home because of the lockdowns.
00:26:32.000 Gymnasiums and sports were not happening.
00:26:35.000 Gymnasiums were not open.
00:26:36.000 Sports were closed.
00:26:37.000 Schools were closed.
00:26:38.000 People were staring at their screens.
00:26:40.000 They were looking for purpose, and it just happened to hit the time perfectly. 0.52
00:26:46.000 And all of this garbage ideology from the 1619 project to white fragility to Tahanisi Coates nonsense, the critical race theorists saw their time and they executed what is still now what I consider to be one of the most successful cultural blitzkriegs in American history.
00:27:07.000 Now, there is a movement pushing back against this. 0.53
00:27:10.000 We are finally getting inoculated to the critical race theory virus.
00:27:14.000 We're finally realizing its vulnerabilities, which are basically rooted in American moral traditions and reason and logic and tradition.
00:27:24.000 These things can easily push back against critical race theory.
00:27:28.000 And the more we actually talk about it, the more people actually are opposed to it.
00:27:34.000 So there is a movement to go back against it, but I want you to understand this.
00:27:39.000 The critical race theory was never designed to better our society.
00:27:44.000 Critical race theory was manufactured in a coffee shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts with Herbert Marcuse.
00:27:53.000 It was manufactured in a college auditorium.
00:27:58.000 For the sole purpose to do what it's doing now.
00:28:01.000 This is not a movement to better society.
00:28:04.000 It's a movement to dismantle.
00:28:07.000 It's a movement to tear apart.
00:28:09.000 And so the only way to push ourselves against it is for people to have courage and also for us to get where I believe the future of our republic will be decided.
00:28:18.000 Two places, in the audit rooms and the school boards. 0.92
00:28:23.000 You show up to your school boards, you get in the eyes and in the face of the people that are pushing forth this garbage all across America. 0.97
00:28:33.000 This virus has spread so effectively.
00:28:37.000 And it's going to be decent Americans, like those of you listening right now, that are going to get yourself educated.
00:28:43.000 Maybe you buy James Lindsay's book, Cynical Theories, who's written from a liberal perspective on why critical race theory is so dangerous.
00:28:49.000 Very factual book, terrific book.
00:28:51.000 And the solution is very simple.
00:28:54.000 Know why this is a problem, and then speak out against it and do something about it.
00:28:59.000 This virus can be defeated.
00:29:02.000 And the virus that's going to last a lot longer than the Chinese coronavirus is the one that has infected your children, the critical race theory virus.
00:29:10.000 It's time for us to inoculate ourselves.
00:29:14.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is the number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?
00:29:21.000 My work schedule has been rather hectic lately, and I'm noticing it's starting to wear me down, even when I'm getting all my workouts in.
00:29:27.000 And in fact, I still feel like I'm stressed.
00:29:29.000 That's why I'm excited to share with you more about a magnesium product I discovered.
00:29:33.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactors in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.
00:29:39.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.
00:29:46.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and they're not full spectrum.
00:29:50.000 When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.
00:29:54.000 With one more simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, feel less anxious.
00:29:59.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:30:25.000 So how do we push back against critical race theory and all this nonsense that's happening?
00:30:31.000 Well, look, let's follow Ron DeSantis' lead.
00:30:34.000 Ron DeSantis says, quote, people moving to Florida overwhelmingly are registering as Republicans, including Democrats.
00:30:40.000 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said that people moving to Florida from other states are more Republicans than Democrats.
00:30:47.000 Why do you think that is?
00:30:48.000 It's because he's becoming a freedom state.
00:30:50.000 When you lead, people will follow.
00:30:52.000 If you just go and sue for peace and the Neville Chamberlain Republicans that far too often plague our party, everything will fall apart.
00:31:00.000 Governor Gianforte has done the right job, a great job in Montana.
00:31:06.000 I wish in Arizona this was happening.
00:31:08.000 It's not.
00:31:08.000 We have Democrats coming in because they see their values represented very well in Arizona because we do not have conservative leadership.
00:31:14.000 We don't.
00:31:15.000 Raising taxes, legalizing weed, all sorts of stuff.
00:31:19.000 But Ron DeSantis, with critical race theory, the virus that we've been talking about, Ron DeSantis said not one red cent will be spent on critical race theory in Florida.
00:31:30.000 Governor Stitt of Oklahoma has done exactly the same.
00:31:33.000 Ron DeSantis, a couple days ago, just signed the most courageous bill when it has come to critical race theory in the entire country.
00:31:45.000 I mean, big tech in the entire country saying that big tech is going to have to pay a price for making all the money off of the people of Florida.
00:31:53.000 Florida has a 0% income tax, both corporate and personal.
00:31:57.000 It's the state of the future.
00:32:00.000 Florida has the top five best education in the entire country.
00:32:05.000 And who's attracted by Florida's open carry, low tax, no critical race theory agenda?
00:32:14.000 Conservatives.
00:32:15.000 And more people become conservatives because of that.
00:32:18.000 If you want to seek political asylum, you go to Florida.
00:32:22.000 So how do we develop the antibodies against critical race theory, the virus of critical race theory?
00:32:27.000 Courage.
00:32:29.000 People say, well, how do I be courageous?
00:32:31.000 Well, the first step is you must decide to be courageous.
00:32:33.000 The second thing is act like people that have courage, like Ron DeSantis.
00:32:38.000 Ron DeSantis has turned Florida into one of the most conservative states in the country when it used to be a battleground state.
00:32:45.000 It's because when you lead, people will follow.
00:32:47.000 And the only way to deal with the collectivist authoritarian left that has been so successful at infiltrating and dominating our society is to play offense and be aggressive.
00:32:59.000 Show solutions.
00:33:01.000 Be optimistic and of good cheer.
00:33:03.000 Not run for the hills and hope they go away.
00:33:07.000 So as we talk about the need to push back against the critical race theory virus, which is more harmful and doing more damage and will do more damage than COVID-19, the vaccination strategy to critical race theory is wisdom and courage, knowledge in the things that never change, and then doing something about it.
00:33:27.000 No longer being a spectator on the bleachers, but being in the arena, showing up for the school board, running for office, doing something meaningful, not just complaining about it and hoping it changes.
00:33:39.000 Florida's the state of the future because they got a leader who's been willing to do something about it.
00:33:46.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
