00:00:24.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:24.000 We go.
00:00:26.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:28.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:32.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:35.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:36.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:37.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:44.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:00:45.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:54.000 That's why we are here.
00:00:57.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:06.000 Charlie, I saw a viral video of a black woman saying that being on time is a white supremacist idea.
00:01:13.000 Can you help me understand this?
00:01:14.000 It's so confusing.
00:01:16.000 Love the show.
00:01:16.000 Well, thank you and thank you for subscribing.
00:01:18.000 Okay, so this is something that I first was made aware of back during Floyd Apalooza, the summer of 2020, when we decided to burn our entire civilization based on a total lie.
00:01:30.000 And at the time, it was this pamphlet by the Smithsonian, the Smithsonian Black History Museum that came out with this document.
00:01:40.000 It was the first I was ever made aware of it, talking about all these different patterns of behavior that we would consider to be admirable or virtuous as being characteristics of white supremacy or of white culture.
00:01:53.000 Now, this comes from academia, and yeah, that's the pamphlet right there.
00:01:56.000 This idea comes from academia, and it is based on this argument that is now being repeated on shows like The View and all throughout colleges across the country.
00:02:04.000 If you send your kid to college, they're going to be exposed to this, and hopefully, they won't actually end up believing it.
00:02:10.000 That the white West, the white supremacist West, as they put, took, you know, kind of describe it, captured and kidnapped blacks and made them believe in all these terrible ideas, such as, as the Smithsonian Museum would say, having a strong family structure, that's white supremacy.
00:02:33.000 Working hard, that's white supremacy.
00:02:35.000 If you think I'm kidding, this is the Smithsonian Museum for Black History.
00:02:39.000 This is funded by your taxpayer dollars.
00:02:41.000 Believing in justice is white supremacy.
00:02:46.000 Whiteness, let me be actually clear. 0.93
00:02:48.000 It's whiteness and white culture in the United States. 0.75
00:02:50.000 It's not, they don't say white supremacy, but that's heavily implied.
00:02:53.000 I mean, come on.
00:02:54.000 The nuclear family, taking holidays off, planning for the future is whiteness. 0.95
00:03:04.000 Delayed gratification is whiteness.
00:03:07.000 Tomorrow will be better is whiteness, believing in that. 1.00
00:03:13.000 Following rigid time schedules is whiteness. 0.92
00:03:16.000 Time viewed as a commodity is whiteness.
00:03:20.000 And this document just continues.
00:03:22.000 No deviation from the single God concept.
00:03:25.000 Monotheism is whiteness.
00:03:27.000 I'd love you to say that.
00:03:28.000 Tell that to the Ethiopian Jews. 1.00
00:03:31.000 Such a stupid thing to believe. 1.00
00:03:33.000 Objective, rational, linear thinking is whiteness. 1.00
00:03:36.000 They teach this at university.
00:03:38.000 Cause and effect relationships are whiteness.
00:03:42.000 Children should have their own rooms is whiteness. 0.99
00:03:46.000 The nuclear family is whiteness. 0.94
00:03:49.000 Okay, you get the point.
00:03:50.000 It just keeps on going.
00:03:51.000 And I mean, this is not an exhaustive list.
00:03:53.000 It just keeps going.
00:03:54.000 And so their argument is that blacks have been lied to for hundreds of years and their African culture was taken away from them.
00:04:05.000 And now they've had to adjust and assimilate with white culture. 0.57
00:04:10.000 And one of them that they love focusing on is this idea of time.
00:04:17.000 Time's a fascinating concept in many different ways, from a biblical construct, from a philosophical approach.
00:04:23.000 So first and foremost, you look at God who built a cathedral in time, obviously the Sabbath, Shabbat. 0.83
00:04:30.000 This idea of time, though, and measuring time was first started by the Romans when they built a sundial.
00:04:37.000 It was actually the first time they really started to measure time and when you'll show up at one time and the other.
00:04:44.000 The first clock that was ever built, I believe was in the 1300s, actually by monks to try to differentiate what time during the day it was.
00:04:52.000 But let me play a piece of tape here that was mentioned in the original question, and then we'll go from there.
00:04:57.000 Let's play, I believe it is Cut 68.
00:04:59.000 Yeah, it's Cut 68.
00:05:01.000 This is a young black woman who is a queer activist as well, who is responding to a TikTok where somebody said, hey, can you guys please show up on time?
00:05:12.000 I hate when you're late. 0.75
00:05:13.000 And she calls this person a white supremacist. 0.89
00:05:16.000 Now, this might seem like a very silly line of thinking, but this is institutionally popular at universities and colleges and soon to be at other places. 0.52
00:05:25.000 Play Cut 68.
00:05:26.000 Can we stop like normalizing people being late?
00:05:29.000 Like it's not cute.
00:05:30.000 It's not funny.
00:05:31.000 It's not a f ⁇ .
00:05:32.000 When y'all are ready to learn about the connections between this, this, and the white American cultural norm with obsessing over being on time, please let me know.
00:05:42.000 Please.
00:05:43.000 Because as someone who is black, queer, has ADHD, and studies African-American history and culture, it's one of my favorite things to talk about.
00:05:52.000 It's going to be so much fun.
00:05:54.000 But, you know, until then, we could just keep acting like that's a completely harmless opinion that has no historical context whatsoever.
00:06:03.000 So this black bigot girl who goes to college and thinks she knows everything says to the other TikTok that the video began with, I totally agree with this young man where he says, can we stop normalizing being late? 0.89
00:06:17.000 I totally agree with that. 0.72
00:06:19.000 And the bigot responds to him and says, you know, being late is okay because we have to push back against this idea of being on time. 0.59
00:06:28.000 Otherwise, you're white supremacists.
00:06:30.000 And so let's build this out a little bit. 0.95
00:06:31.000 I'll tell you a short story.
00:06:33.000 Last evening, I was running an important errand for our baby.
00:06:38.000 I had to go get a very specific type of ointment.
00:06:40.000 Anyways, running all over the place, and I was scheduled to have a dinner at a very specific time.
00:06:45.000 And I was running five minutes late, and it really bothered me.
00:06:48.000 I hate being late.
00:06:49.000 It's one of my things I put the most amount of pressure on myself on.
00:06:52.000 It drives me nuts.
00:06:54.000 And I saw that clip earlier in the week.
00:06:56.000 And so as I was driving five minutes late and I texted them, hey, I'm going to be late.
00:06:59.000 They said, no problem, of course, but I still was so bothered by the fact that I was being late.
00:07:03.000 And so I put down my phone.
00:07:04.000 I thought to myself, why am I so bothered that I'm going to be late?
00:07:06.000 It's because I'm living in some sort of white supremacist construct.
00:07:09.000 And it hit me.
00:07:10.000 I'm really bothered that I'm going to be late because I have a lot of respect for the person I'm about to have dinner with.
00:07:18.000 I have a lot of respect for their time.
00:07:21.000 I have a lot of respect for what they do.
00:07:23.000 I have a lot of respect for their character.
00:07:26.000 And I don't believe that my time is more valuable than their time.
00:07:33.000 That I felt bad for good reason, regardless of my excuse doing something for your baby, important, that I was taking five minutes away from them.
00:07:42.000 And that I don't have a right to do that.
00:07:45.000 And that the fundamental root of that is a belief in human equality.
00:07:52.000 And so, in cultures that don't take time seriously, where it doesn't matter a lot of whether or not you show up on time or you don't show up on time, I believe it's actually a lack of respect that everybody's time matters the same.
00:08:07.000 You see, that's a fundamental moral claim that if you believe that we are all the same type of thing, that we're all human beings with equal rights, therefore you do not believe that you can believe it is moral or respectful to be able to be 10 minutes late because you actually are not more important than the person you're about to meet with.
00:08:30.000 Traditional monarchies would show power by making people wait a long time in audiences, days, even sometimes, hours, because they believe the monarch or the king believed I am better than you.
00:08:46.000 I'm more important than you.
00:08:48.000 So, who cares if I'm 20 minutes late or I'm an hour late?
00:08:51.000 I'm above you.
00:08:52.000 I'm a monarch and you aren't.
00:08:54.000 This obsession with being on time is actually a phenomenal moral development that has resulted in people being treated more equally and fairly.
00:09:09.000 That the driving purpose of wanting to be on time and not disregarding it is that that person matters so much that I'm not going to steal away their day because we're both human beings.
00:09:27.000 To disregard time, to say, oh, yeah, you could just kind of show up whenever you want, you actually have to be rather narcissistically prideful to believe that.
00:09:38.000 At the core of being on time is an undeniable belief in human equality.
00:09:47.000 At the core of not believing in being on time is an undeniable belief in hierarchy.
00:09:54.000 And if that is a Western value, boy, am I thankful the West was able to develop that as a value.
00:10:04.000 Rents are soaring at unprecedented highs.
00:10:07.000 If you're renting or have a friend or family member, that is, now is a great time to make the move to homeownership.
00:10:13.000 Look, you got to own renting, that's great reset stuff.
00:10:17.000 Andrew Del Rey and Todd of Akian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people make that leap from renting to owning with lots of programs that offer first-time buyers assistance with little to no down payment needed.
00:10:29.000 I encourage you right now to visit my buddies, their website.
00:10:32.000 They're great guys.
00:10:33.000 They're Christians.
00:10:34.000 They're conservatives.
00:10:35.000 They love the Lord.
00:10:36.000 AndrewNTodd.com right now.
00:10:38.000 The thing I love about these guys is it's not about the transaction.
00:10:41.000 They're helping you create a plan to help you reach your goals.
00:10:44.000 Give them a call or go to their website, andrewandTodd.com.
00:10:47.000 With today's still historically low interest rates, it's easier than you think to become a homeowner.
00:10:51.000 I've relied on them and producer Andrew has as well.
00:10:54.000 I highly recommend you take action now.
00:10:57.000 And if you knew someone paying rent, tell them about Andrew and Todd.
00:11:00.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.
00:11:07.000 Just go through this list one more time of what they consider to be white culture, planning for the future, delayed gratification, emphasis on the scientific method. 0.88
00:11:14.000 It's incredible. 0.74
00:11:15.000 This is what they consider to be whiteness and white supremacy.
00:11:18.000 And so then it does beg the question of if you do not believe in those values, then what values do you believe in?
00:11:29.000 Then what values do you think are admirable?
00:11:33.000 If you do not believe in human equality and being on time and using science and reason and in separation of powers and consent to the governed, then what value system do you think is better than that?
00:11:46.000 I mean, I'm open to ideas.
00:11:47.000 I think the West got it best.
00:11:50.000 Well, the view has some thoughts on this.
00:11:52.000 Yeah, Rachel Lindsay, let's go to cut 117. 0.60
00:11:56.000 She's on the view saying that the story of American history, because this is all around Ron DeSantis' recent decision, which I fully support, by the way.
00:12:06.000 I am enthusiastically behind Ron DeSantis saying that black-centered education has no place in Florida schools, obviously. 1.00
00:12:17.000 It's bigoted from its premise.
00:12:20.000 But that's kind of what started this conversation.
00:12:22.000 And we'll go from there because I did get a question on DeSantis' decision there.
00:12:26.000 And I think it actually is a really important segue.
00:12:29.000 So let's play cut 117.
00:12:31.000 Tallahassee shouldn't tell the family in Miami-Dade what they're teaching their kids.
00:12:34.000 It's a political stun.
00:12:36.000 I don't agree with it.
00:12:37.000 I love that right here.
00:12:38.000 It's not a political stun.
00:12:39.000 I can't just call it that.
00:12:40.000 It's racism. 0.98
00:12:41.000 When black people were brought from Africa over here, forced to be here, they erased our culture from us. 1.00
00:12:47.000 They took our religion away. 0.99
00:12:48.000 They took our names away.
00:12:50.000 They took our heritage, everything that related us to Africa. 0.97
00:12:53.000 They took it away and replaced it with Western culture. 0.82
00:12:56.000 That's what you're doing right now in education.
00:12:58.000 All right.
00:12:59.000 Well, first of all, Western culture is better.
00:13:01.000 And it's a thought crime to say it out loud. 0.97
00:13:03.000 Number two, blacks were sold into slavery by other blacks. 0.99
00:13:07.000 Can't say that out loud. 0.96
00:13:08.000 Thomas Sowell wrote that in great detail.
00:13:10.000 Number three, when blacks were given opportunities to return home, they did not want to return home. 0.97
00:13:15.000 Whether it be the Lincoln Project, not the Lincoln Project of today, it was called Laconia, to actually return blacks to its own country of settlement in either the Caribbean or Central America.
00:13:24.000 They didn't want it.
00:13:25.000 The mass relocation effort done by President Monroe, the fifth American president to Liberia, which has the same flag, the same constitution.
00:13:33.000 What is the capital of Liberia?
00:13:34.000 Monroe Villa. 0.90
00:13:36.000 Blacks didn't want to leave. 1.00
00:13:38.000 And to respond to Rachel Lindsay, if that is the case, and if it was nothing more, I mean, obviously slavery is reprehensible and terrible and awful, but there's a lot more to that story than people would ever want to acknowledge and admit, which is more blacks have come to America voluntarily than ever came in the slave trade.
00:13:55.000 It's probably a great country.
00:13:58.000 More blacks have come to America voluntarily since the 1980s, whether it be from West Africa, from the Caribbean, than ever came in the slave trade.
00:14:08.000 And what does she say there?
00:14:09.000 She says they destroyed our religion, our language, our culture.
00:14:14.000 I'd be curious to hear her thoughts on why she thinks that worldview is good.
00:14:20.000 She thinks that African tribalism is morally better than Western human equality. 1.00
00:14:26.000 Now, is that her argument?
00:14:27.000 Does she believe that African tribalism and the mysticism that would basically be the predominant metaphysical view of tribes in sub-Saharan Africa at the time was more morally advanced or better than what we consider to be Western society that has the rule of law, due process, human equality, freedom of speech, private property rights.
00:14:54.000 I mean, it's not even close.
00:14:56.000 And so, yes, I will say all human beings are created equal in God's eyes.
00:15:01.000 All human beings. 0.82
00:15:04.000 Of course, racism is repugnant and reprehensible.
00:15:08.000 But all cultures are not created equal.
00:15:10.000 They're not.
00:15:11.000 And 1600s, African tribal culture is not on the same moral footing as to where the West ended up, where you have blacks on the Supreme Court, where you have blacks that are able to become millionaires and billionaires, where you have a black that can become president, attorney general. 0.98
00:15:30.000 That's a big deal.
00:15:31.000 Why did that happen?
00:15:33.000 Why is it that America is so prosperous?
00:15:35.000 It's because we stole everything?
00:15:36.000 No, because we embraced a set of ideas that at the time and still are eternal.
00:15:44.000 We embraced eternal wisdom in believing that there is a God and you are not him, in rejecting polytheism, which was the predominant view of African tribal culture.
00:15:54.000 Now, it's not to say we, of course, we can learn some things through African tribal culture, obviously, but it pales in comparison to the moral contribution of the West that we take for granted, such as the strong protecting the weak.

00:17:15.000 There was multiple attempts to try and resettle slaves that were brought to America.
00:17:23.000 Multiple attempts.
00:17:25.000 And they were all largely unsuccessful because many of the slaves, especially freed slaves, when they met with Lincoln on this topic and this matter, said, America is our home.
00:17:34.000 We want to stay in America. 0.99
00:17:36.000 We love this place.
00:17:37.000 We don't love what's happened to us, but we see opportunity and we see a chance to flourish here.
00:17:43.000 Abraham Lincoln had very specific plans.
00:17:45.000 It was called Lincania, was a proposed Central American colony that was originally proposed by Samuel Pomeroy of Kansas in 1862 after Abraham Lincoln asked the senator and the United States Secretary of Interior, Caleb Smith, to work on a plan to resettle freed African Americans from the United States.
00:18:04.000 Now, this gets really, I think, brutally mistold by so many of the kind of race people in the academy that say, oh, Lincoln wanted the blacks to leave America.
00:18:19.000 No, he didn't.
00:18:21.000 He assumed that many of them wanted their own country.
00:18:26.000 And so actually, one of the leading negotiators that pushed back against this idea was one of the great Americans ever to live, Frederick Douglass.
00:18:38.000 And Frederick Douglass said that he was very opposed to emigration.
00:18:42.000 And the delegation then responded to Frederick Douglass's leadership.
00:18:48.000 Frederick Douglass was one of the leading spokespeople of whether or not there was going to be its own country.
00:18:55.000 And so basically, this country was going to be in Central America, right between what would be modern day Honduras.
00:19:06.000 Now, mind you, there was a resettlement program.
00:19:10.000 This is what I could, what other country went to such great efforts to try to bring slaves back to where they came from as what we tried to do under President Monroe in Liberia.
00:19:23.000 And it worked okay.
00:19:25.000 And by the way, there was a whole organization called that was dedicated to this called the American Colonization Society.
00:19:31.000 It was founded in 1816 by Robert Finley to encourage and support the migration of blacks back to the continent of Africa.
00:19:41.000 And over 60,000 blacks ended up doing that, but it actually decreased in popularity.
00:19:47.000 It decreased in popularity over time because blacks wanted to stay in America. 0.91
00:19:53.000 That's not to say every single black believed that, but it was an open offer for multiple decades.
00:19:58.000 So this line of thinking from Rachel Lindsay is rather not just inaccurate, it's really dangerous and it's destructive.
00:20:06.000 Charlie, I love the show.
00:20:08.000 Have you seen the recent book, Goodnight Racism?
00:20:10.000 This is in my local library.
00:20:12.000 I can't believe it that parents actually buy this.
00:20:14.000 So when I first read this question, I had not, but I had my team buy the book.
00:20:18.000 Here it is.
00:20:19.000 It's by Ibram X. Kendi, otherwise known as, is it Henry or Harry Rogers?
00:20:24.000 I always get that wrong.
00:20:26.000 Henry Rogers, who renamed himself as Ibram X. Kendi, because he wanted to get back down to his African tribal roots.
00:20:36.000 And it's illustrated by Chababi Bayak.
00:20:39.000 Now, I know what you're probably thinking.
00:20:41.000 What a weird name to name a baby, racism.
00:20:45.000 Like, why would you name your baby racism?
00:20:47.000 No, no, that's not what the book is about. 0.98
00:20:49.000 It's not saying goodnight to the black baby named racism. 0.96
00:20:52.000 They're trying to say goodnight to racism, the sin. 0.91
00:20:58.000 And this is now a children's book, a baby book that apparently parents purchase.
00:21:04.000 And it goes through outside the window, peeking down from the night sky, the moon watches over us.
00:21:09.000 She sees kids smiling at dinner tables.
00:21:12.000 It's very pagan, that the moon has some philosophy, some sort of mystical quality, and yawning in their beds.
00:21:22.000 But some kids do not have food.
00:21:23.000 They do not have beds because unfair rules and unjust treatment.
00:21:26.000 No, they don't have food or beds because their fathers left them.
00:21:30.000 The moon sees all the kids, whoever they are.
00:21:32.000 Again, this is hearkening back to African tribal folklore, a focus on the moon and the hermetic kind of connection to what I would consider to be pagan, as if the moon has some sort of personality.
00:21:46.000 Wherever they are, and sunshine, her light on it.
00:21:48.000 Let me just pause here as I'm reading this children's book in real time.
00:21:52.000 This is why the Bible is so important.
00:21:54.000 The Bible is at odds with just some of the claims here.
00:21:58.000 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
00:22:00.000 The moon does not have a personality.
00:22:01.000 The moon doesn't see you.
00:22:03.000 Okay?
00:22:04.000 The moon's just a thing.
00:22:06.000 It's obviously not a planet.
00:22:07.000 It's an extension of our planet.
00:22:11.000 But obviously, you could say, oh, they're being metaphorical here, but not really because anyone from a Christian, Judeo-Christian view would say, that's kind of a weird thing to say the moon looks at you.
00:22:22.000 It doesn't say God looks over you.
00:22:24.000 It says the moon does.
00:22:25.000 Strange.
00:22:26.000 The moon wants her light to kiss every child goodnight.
00:22:28.000 The moon delights when every child falls asleep.
00:22:30.000 No, no, it doesn't.
00:22:31.000 The moon is a bunch of rocks.
00:22:32.000 It doesn't do that.
00:22:33.000 Because the moon knows when we sleep when we dream.
00:22:35.000 Again, so that's really interesting.
00:22:37.000 So Ibram X. Kendi, writing this child's book, Goodnight Racism, is making an argument that the omniscient, omnipresent qualities of what we consider to be a Christian God is actually present in moon worship.
00:22:53.000 Nothing new about worshiping the moon, by the way.
00:22:56.000 The Vikings did it.
00:22:58.000 The Greeks and the Romans didn't necessarily do it, but a lot of their gods were derivatives of planetary patterns.
00:23:06.000 When we dream, we imagine what is possible, what the world can be, and the moon glows a bright, little brighter, whispering, dream, my child.
00:23:12.000 Imagine, my child, a new world, a new future awaits.
00:23:15.000 It's really creepy.
00:23:16.000 Continues by saying, a world where all people are safe, no matter how they look.
00:23:20.000 Wow.
00:23:21.000 And of course, there's a gay couple here. 0.74
00:23:24.000 Looks like really interesting.
00:23:27.000 And how, or how they worship or how they love, showing some sort of a, what seems to be a polyamorous family here.
00:23:38.000 A world where all kids have the same chance to have peace, joy, and to have a childhood.
00:23:43.000 Really?
00:23:44.000 World where people breathe fresh air and have what they need to feed their minds and bodies.
00:23:49.000 And this is it.
00:23:50.000 A world where rules open doors, open minds, and create equity and justice for all.
00:23:56.000 Picture of all these kids protesting activistically.
00:23:59.000 This is in these children's books.
00:24:02.000 It's almost done.
00:24:04.000 Good night, unfair rules.
00:24:05.000 Good night, cruelty.
00:24:06.000 Good night, injustice.
00:24:07.000 Good night, inequality.
00:24:09.000 Good night, hate.
00:24:10.000 Good night, hurt. 0.99
00:24:12.000 Good night, racism.
00:24:14.000 Good night.
00:24:16.000 That's supposed to be deep.
00:24:18.000 And do you notice about this what is lacking?
00:24:21.000 Well, lots lacking.
00:24:23.000 It doesn't talk at all about improvement, applying yourself differently, making better choices.
00:24:30.000 No, no, no, no.
00:24:31.000 It's all about the injustice, about the systemic inequity and inequality.
00:24:36.000 It's somebody else's fault.
00:24:38.000 And the moon seems everything.
00:24:42.000 Good night, racism.
00:24:43.000 It's a bestseller, apparently. 1.00
00:24:45.000 Geez, these people are a bunch of con artists. 0.76
00:24:49.000 It has like 40 words in the book. 0.75
00:24:50.000 He probably made a million bucks off of it.
00:24:53.000 Okay, we got a caller on the line about intergenerational wealth.
00:24:59.000 Okay, let's just patch him through.
00:25:00.000 Hello, you're on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:25:04.000 Hi.
00:25:05.000 So I'm having a Lincoln Douglas debate tomorrow, and I was wondering your opinion on the intergenerational accumulation of wealth and how it's antithetical to democracy or not.
00:25:19.000 What's your opinion?
00:25:21.000 Great.
00:25:21.000 Well, thank you for calling.
00:25:23.000 And first of all, the Lincoln Douglas debate is a beautiful dialogue if you guys have not read it.
00:25:29.000 It's amazing.
00:25:30.000 It's very similar to the Socratic dialogues of the pursuit of what is justice.
00:25:34.000 And thank you for calling.
00:25:35.000 So you guys can cut the audio there.
00:25:37.000 So let me just answer this.
00:25:39.000 So it depends on how you view intergenerational wealth.
00:25:43.000 Typically, when we talk about intergenerational wealth and the conversation on it, it is focused on what they consider to be systemic injustice and systemic racism.
00:25:55.000 That's all a bunch of nonsense, okay?
00:25:57.000 Blacks were getting wealthier than whites in the 1950s, regardless of even redlining and all this other stuff. 0.92
00:26:02.000 In the 1940s, 1950s, when America was far more racist, America was getting, blacks were getting more, we were getting wealthier than whites per capita.
00:26:09.000 Thomas Sowell has a whole book on this.
00:26:11.000 It's really well thoroughly researched and well done.
00:26:14.000 The question should not be about what happened to someone that was related to you multiple generations ago or multiple decades ago.
00:26:20.000 The question is, what are you doing now?
00:26:22.000 And it should be a focus on agency and action and free will, which are we telling young people, in particular young blacks, to get married before you have kids, get a job any job, don't commit crimes, and save money.
00:26:36.000 Do we say that?
00:26:36.000 If not, meaning basically stay out of prison.
00:26:39.000 If we do not, and graduate from high school, which is just a basic thing, if we do not communicate those things, we're doing a mass disservice by saying there's all this injustice, there's all this horror.
00:26:46.000 No, actually, you're just making bad choices.
00:26:49.000 Then the root cause of so much of this is not about redlining.
00:26:53.000 It's not about banks.
00:26:54.000 It's not about any of that stuff.
00:26:55.000 Some of which are legitimate.
00:26:56.000 Some of it's not.
00:26:57.000 It's not about the FBI pumping cocaine into the inner cities. 0.99
00:27:00.000 It's about black fathers that abandoned black moms. 0.98
00:27:05.000 It's the most simple baseline. 0.99
00:27:08.000 It's not about black privilege or white privilege, black lack of privilege or white privilege. 0.67
00:27:12.000 It's do you have a stable nuclear family?
00:27:15.000 Do you have two parents in the home?
00:27:17.000 Blacks that are raised by a mom and a dad are more likely to succeed economically and socially than a white that is raised by just a single mom. 0.97
00:27:27.000 So to complete the point on DeSantis, because we got a question on that, and then I do want to get to some callers.
00:27:32.000 DeSantis has banned advanced placement black studies course from Florida high schools because it lacks educational value, is what he says.
00:27:40.000 And the world is blowing up over this.
00:27:41.000 And boy, am I behind Ron DeSantis for this?
00:27:45.000 They called the course unlawful and historically inaccurate, but did not elaborate on why the department thought so.
00:27:50.000 Why is this an AP class? 0.76
00:27:52.000 By the way, the entire existence of this course is just ridiculous.
00:27:56.000 The bad guys are trying to push this forward because they're afraid.
00:28:00.000 No, no, no, no, that's not true.
00:28:02.000 They know that we are afraid, let me be precise, of saying no because we don't want to be called racist.
00:28:07.000 So they're pushing and they're pushing and they're pushing.
00:28:09.000 It was written by CRT advocate and legal scholar Kimberly Crenshaw.
00:28:14.000 That should tell you everything you need to know.
00:28:16.000 Now, they're attacking Ron DeSantis relentlessly on this.
00:28:19.000 I guarantee you there will be examples, an example, an example after this to show why Ron DeSantis ended up making this decision.
00:28:30.000 And again, the world is erupting over it.
00:28:32.000 I fully support Ron DeSantis in this.
00:28:34.000 You should teach American history.
00:28:35.000 How about this?
00:28:36.000 Is that a black studies?
00:28:38.000 How about you teach ethics?
00:28:40.000 What a concept.
00:28:42.000 Just teach a course on ethics.
00:28:44.000 Just say, what's Aristotelian ethics?
00:28:46.000 What is Platonic ethics?
00:28:48.000 What is biblical ethics?
00:28:49.000 What are Western ethics?
00:28:50.000 What are secular ethics?
00:28:50.000 Just have a conversation about ethics.
00:28:52.000 Instead of AP course on African-American studies, give me a break.
00:28:57.000 How about civics, economics, anything but more tribalism? 0.58
00:29:03.000 The NAACP, of course, ridiculous, says that students need to be taught that racism is a bent embedded.
00:29:12.000 This is what this is what the class would teach, embedded in laws, policies, institutions that would uphold and reproduce racial inequalities. 0.59
00:29:19.000 What law is there that is actually, the only way you can answer this question is that we subsidize single motherhood, but it's about choices.
00:29:28.000 And the choices that unfortunately black America has made over the last 30 or 40 years is the abandonment of their children.
00:29:36.000 It's a fact.
00:29:39.000 And increasingly happening in the white community, too.
00:29:42.000 So it's not just the black community, unfortunately.
00:29:44.000 Single motherhood is on the way up across the board.
00:29:47.000 Okay, I want to get to a call here.
00:29:51.000 Bob from Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
00:29:54.000 I know where that is.
00:29:55.000 Bob, real quick, what's on your mind?
00:29:57.000 Yes, I did.
00:29:58.000 I went to Wheeling High School.
00:29:59.000 They don't claim me anymore.
00:30:00.000 How are you doing?
00:30:02.000 Good.
00:30:03.000 You were talking about Black History Month, and you were also talking about other celebration months.
00:30:09.000 Yes.
00:30:10.000 The engineers only get one week, and that's in February.
00:30:15.000 And what I find interesting is during Black History Month, they celebrate all the politicians, all the entertainers, and they ignore the contributions that African-American blacks have made to the engineering profession, science profession.
00:30:34.000 It's just amazing.
00:30:35.000 I went to the African-American History Museum in Washington, D.C. There's no exhibits for the engineers, the black engineers that have changed our world.
00:30:48.000 Like George Washington Carver.
00:30:50.000 Yeah, we're out of time, but I appreciate the call and thank you.
00:30:52.000 You know, we're running out of time.
00:30:54.000 Thank you.
00:30:54.000 Take care.
00:30:54.000 And that's interesting.
00:30:56.000 It actually ties in and harmonizes with the argument I made previously that the Smithsonian Museum, funded by your taxpayer dollars, does not think positively of a scientific method or scientific progress.
00:31:09.000 So that would definitely correlate.
00:31:11.000 Gary from Oklahoma, line five, says he has a thought about Donald Trump.
00:31:17.000 Really quick, Gary, what's on your mind?
00:31:19.000 Yeah, I just don't know why anybody would be willing to vote for Donald Trump.
00:31:23.000 Why he's still pushing the shot.
00:31:24.000 If he don't come out and get his shot, then why would we vote for him?
00:31:28.000 He didn't stand up for the January 6th people.
00:31:31.000 He should have stood up for them.
00:31:34.000 When we first heard about private cabinet partnership, it was from him.
00:31:39.000 So just really quick, Gary, I just want to make sure I understand.
00:31:41.000 You think that Trump's embracing of the vaccine is a political liability for him?
00:31:47.000 Yeah.
00:31:48.000 Okay.
00:31:48.000 No, no, I actually agree with you.
00:31:50.000 So, all right, Gary, thank you for the call.
00:31:52.000 Appreciate it.
00:31:52.000 Love Oklahoma.
00:31:53.000 Thank you.
00:31:53.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:31:55.000 I agree.
00:31:56.000 I think that Donald Trump pushing the vaccine is a massive political liability for him.
00:32:01.000 I said this to him privately.
00:32:02.000 I'll say it to him publicly.
00:32:03.000 If someone runs against him to sam to somebody else and says, look, man, you keep on advertising the mRNA gene-altering vaccine that has caused unspeakable horror and damage to thousands, if not tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people.
00:32:18.000 If someone were to run against Trump, and again, I'm saying this as someone who's voting for Trump and for supporting him in 2024, one of Trump's greatest weaknesses in 2024 is the lockdowns, the vaccine, and Fauci.
00:32:29.000 I think he's got to get away from it very, very soon.
00:32:32.000 I sympathize with that.
00:32:35.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:32:36.000 Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:32:40.000 Thank you so much for listening, and God bless.
