00:02:02.000So if I read your question off, you guys win a free copy, a free signed copy of the New York Times bestseller, The MAGA Doctrine, if I select your question.
00:02:49.000Hillary Clinton wrote her senior thesis on Saul Olinsky.
00:02:52.000Rules for Radicals is one of the most instructive and important books of the left.
00:02:57.000It really lays the foundation of how the left operates, why they do what they do, and how they're able to achieve their version and their demented version of success.
00:03:06.000So I encourage you to check out our sister episode today where I dive into this in great detail, but I'm going to list all 13 rules.
00:03:12.000I think that it's important that repetition is the soul of memory, that we go through them one by one so you recognize exactly what the left is doing to our country in real time.
00:03:21.000They are using so many of these rules right now to take down our history, to pollute our heritage, to communicate to the next generation things that are patently untrue.
00:03:32.000So here are the Rules for Radicals by Saul Olinski.
00:03:34.000Remember, Saul Olinski actually wrote the dedication to his book, Rules for Radicals, to Lucifer, saying to the first rebel, the first fallen angel who rebelled against God.
00:03:44.000So this book is Luciferian in nature because it's dedicated to Lucifer.
00:03:58.000It's not just what you have, but it's the appearance of power.
00:04:01.000This should give those of us that are constitutionalists or conservatives some optimism that maybe the left is making themselves seem a lot more powerful than they really are.
00:04:11.000Rule number one is power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.
00:04:16.000So maybe the left isn't as strong as we give them credit for.
00:04:18.000Maybe the left is not as sophisticated.
00:04:22.000But boy, does it seem as if they're doing so much damage to our country with so few people that are standing against them.
00:04:28.000Rule number two: never go outside the expertise of your people.
00:04:33.000That's a very important rule to recognize that what the left does.
00:04:36.000They try to keep the activists that are talking about police brutality specifically on the issue of police brutality.
00:04:42.000They don't try to have them go on television and talk about corporate tax reform.
00:04:45.000Rule number two is violated by one of the people on the Minneapolis City Council where she said, Well, even asking the question about breaking into a home is you showing your white privilege play tape.
00:04:56.000Do you understand that the word dismantle or police-free also makes some people nervous?
00:05:02.000For instance, what if in the middle of the night my home is broken into?
00:05:10.000Yes, I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors.
00:05:14.000And I know, and myself too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done.
00:05:32.000So, that Minneapolis city council member was way outside of her own expertise.
00:05:36.000The left, they say this is one of their rules, but they go outside of their rules quite often.
00:05:42.000Now, remember, this list is not just suggestions.
00:05:45.000If you know the list of these 13 commandments, now we as Bible-believing conservatives have the 10 commandments and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
00:05:54.000This is how they effectuate social change.
00:05:58.000Rule number three: wherever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.
00:06:03.000So, always try to make us go off our turf.
00:06:06.000Make us talk about issues that we are a little bit less literate in, not as well-versed in, that we're a little uncomfortable talking about.
00:06:13.000So, for example, they're doing this so well right now.
00:06:17.000Conservatives and Republicans have no comfort at all whatsoever to talk about issues in regards to race.
00:06:24.000And we'll talk about that later in the show on some of the other issues and questions we've gotten around that topic.
00:06:29.000But conservatives and Republicans are very uncomfortable talking about police brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:06:40.000The left is so good at saying, We are going to take you off of your terrain that you're comfortable talking about, which is free markets or the Constitution, and we're going to make you talk about race.
00:07:13.000The radicals make us live up to things that we've said previously.
00:07:18.000For example, they make us live up to things that we talk about all the time.
00:07:23.000We say opportunity, we say freedom, we say make America great again.
00:07:29.000Or maybe what the left might do is they might go to a Christian community, they might say, Well, one of your core teachings is help the least of these.
00:07:36.000Therefore, don't you believe that we should do more to help the black community?
00:07:40.000And of course, we should do more to help all people that are in need: black Americans, white Americans, Hispanic Americans.
00:07:45.000We should go out of our way to rebuild the family.
00:07:49.000We should go out of our way to rebuild value in all communities.
00:07:53.000However, helping people might not mean giving them more government money.
00:07:57.000In fact, I think the best way to help people is not to grow government, but is to empower people.
00:08:58.000Personally, it went after the Trump campaign.
00:09:00.000The ridicule that the left uses, it's hard to go up against unless you punch back twice as hard.
00:09:06.000That's one of the reasons why the president has been so effective.
00:09:09.000Rule number six is a good tactic is one your people enjoy.
00:09:14.000So a tactic would be burning down buildings.
00:09:17.000I guess certain people on the radical left enjoy burning down American cities or stealing TVs in Long Beach, California.
00:09:25.000You could fill it, you can fill in the gaps however you wish.
00:09:27.000But a good tactic is one that gets your people fired up, that gets your organizers really focused on material social change.
00:09:36.000A good tactic is not one that your people dread going to organize, Solinsky would also talk about.
00:09:42.000It's not one where they wake up and they say, oh boy, we have to go do this today.
00:09:45.000Instead, it's we are going to go protest outside of this person's house and we're going to follow them using ridicule and we're going to enjoy it.
00:09:52.000We're going to throw bricks through a window because we enjoy that.
00:09:55.000I know this might sound very dark to you, but this is exactly the rules that the left operates from.
00:10:00.000Number seven, a tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
00:10:05.000So if you're throwing too many bricks through too many windows, it could become a drag on your cause.
00:10:11.000The tactics must have the perfect amount of time.
00:10:13.000It can't be too long, can't be too short.
00:10:16.000This is a very interesting one that's happening right now.
00:10:18.000Rule number eight, according to Solinsky: keep the pressure on.
00:10:24.000The left believes that they must have a full court press, to use basketball terms, and boy, do I miss watching basketball, but they must have a full court press against those of us that believe in the Constitution and believe in conservative values.
00:10:40.000That there's no space for compromise, that there's no space for us to come up for air.
00:10:44.000They are trying to metaphorically waterboard the entire conservative movement right now till we call up for mercy.
00:10:52.000They are trying to suffocate the conservative movement around taking down statues, protesting people you disagree with, getting corporations to relent to their demands, getting corporations to donate through almost forms of extortion right now.
00:11:06.000Keep the pressure on is rule number eight in the rules for radicals by Saulinsky.
00:11:10.000And right now, we see that happening more so than almost any other rule in America of the rules of Solinsky.
00:11:17.000Rule number nine, the threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
00:11:23.000So the things that they're threatening right now against us, it's actually probably more terrifying what we conjure up in our head than actually what they're going to do to us.
00:11:31.000The threat when they say they're going to come into suburban America and burn down suburban homes, the threat is probably worse than actually what's going to materialize.
00:12:14.000All of his rules are happening in real time.
00:12:17.000All of his rules are being used by the most aggressive, dedicated, foaming-at-the-mouth Marxist radicals, and they're being implemented every single day.
00:12:28.000His rules are being followed more so than the Ten Commandments right now in the American left.
00:12:33.000Rule number 11, if you push a negative hard enough, it will break through to the counterside as a positive.
00:13:13.000Rule number 13, this is the one that's probably in place more so than any other rule in American discourse and American political strategy right now.
00:13:28.000They picked the police, the Black Lives Matter radicals, the anti-American Black Lives Matter radicals, picked the target a couple years ago.
00:13:36.000They said the police are the barrier for us from fundamentally destroying and fundamentally taking down America.
00:14:53.000I've seen how the left went from a mainstream operation within the Democrat Party when they elected Barack Obama to becoming a fringe during the early years of President Trump, then getting back into the mainstream and turning the mainstream of the Democrat Party even more radical than they ever have before.
00:15:08.000I've been run out of restaurants by Antifa.
00:15:10.000I've been followed in the street by Antifa.
00:15:12.000I've received death threats from the radical left that I've had to file police reports behind.
00:15:27.000You are assuming as if they want something constructive.
00:15:30.000For them, seeing the flames is satisfying enough.
00:15:34.000The arson, the burning, the destruction gives them fulfillment.
00:15:40.000Now remember, I did a previous episode on this a couple before, and I encourage you to go back in the archives of the Charlie Kirk show and take a listen.
00:15:46.000Back in the archives, you'll listen to one of the episodes where I talk about how they don't want to build.
00:16:15.000And it's infected every single portion of American society, from the church to corporate America.
00:16:21.000They destroyed the family to mass media to Hollywood.
00:16:24.000And these rules that I just articulated are the rules that they operate on.
00:16:28.000However, Saul Linsky would not be proud about one of the things that's happening right now in America.
00:16:33.000One of Saulinsky's most famous quote, he said, a true radical is not someone who marches in the streets and breaks windows and starts fires.
00:16:42.000He said, a true radical is someone who wakes up every single day, shaves, showers, slicks back his hair, puts on a three-piece suit, and goes to work.
00:16:52.000Saul Linsky believed that a true Olinskyite pretended to be something that they were not.
00:16:59.000That they were not the torchbearer in the street, that they were not the revolutionary committed to social change.
00:17:05.000But a true radical was someone that infiltrated pre-existing bureaucracies, that infiltrated pre-existing infrastructure, that tried to destroy things from within, that tried to target, isolate very specific things that were vulnerable within a capitalist Western society.
00:17:22.000Saw Linsky was also a very big believer in not destroying the symbology of a country you were trying to take over.
00:17:33.000Don't burn the history of the country you're trying to take over.
00:17:36.000Say that you're on the actual side of that history.
00:17:39.000You see, what's happening right now in America is the first time we see a full-fledged Marxist-communist movement.
00:17:45.000That movement actually is against the country they're trying to take over.
00:17:48.000The Russians, the Cubans, the Chinese, and the Italians, any collectivist statist movement is almost always pro the nation they're trying to take over.
00:17:56.000They're actually against the country they're trying to take over.
00:17:59.000Now, the minute the Marxists realize that all they have to do is be nationalist Marxists, forget it.
00:18:05.000That combination is going to result in a very, very dangerous equation for those of us that are conservatives and American patriots.
00:19:15.000Well, Otto, you have won a free copy of the MAGA Doctrine signed, New York Times bestseller, and that is shipped off to you right now.
00:19:21.000If you guys email me your questions, freedom at CharlieKirk.com, freedom at CharlieKirk.com, you will get a free signed copy of the New York Times bestseller, the MAGA Doctrine.
00:19:29.000So John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, they were two of the most formative thinkers of the 1600s.
00:19:36.000Thomas Hobbes had a completely different application of some of the same admittances that John Locke also had.
00:19:44.000So Thomas Hobbes was writing a little bit before John Locke.
00:19:49.000John Locke was probably the most instructive, important, influential writer to the American Revolution.
00:19:56.000Whereas Thomas Hobbes, some of his analysis of human behavior and what he called the state of nature was instructive to the American founding, but the application of it, not at all.
00:20:17.000So understand Thomas Hobbes, he got his upbringing during the English Civil War.
00:20:22.000He saw brutality and violence and civil conflict, the likes of which most human beings will never experience.
00:20:29.000Thomas Hobbes believed in the absence of an invisible absolute ruler, we would all kill each other.
00:20:35.000So Thomas Hobbes, his analysis of human beings, I think, was pretty spot on.
00:20:39.000In fact, Thomas Hobbes agreed with Calvin, John Calvin, who of course was one of the original rebels, who was the, let's just say, the father of Calvinism and Presbyterianism and all the different skews of that.
00:20:53.000And actually, interestingly enough, John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes, Calvin and Hobbes, you guys ever hear of that cartoon series?
00:20:58.000That's actually where it comes from because they both had the same analysis and agreement in human behavior.
00:21:03.000And so I saw an acronym on the web at one time, and I looked it up in reference to this question where it said S-P-N-B-S, which is kind of how Thomas Hobbes analyzed human behavior.
00:21:23.000And by the way, the biblical reference is in Job 41.
00:21:26.000If you guys think your life is going bad, read the book of Job.
00:21:29.000That should be a shot in the arm of positivity and optimism for the world.
00:21:32.000Now, mind you, Hobbes, because of his analysis of human behavior and because of what he saw in the state of nature, he wanted a totalitarian leader to prevent us from destroying each other.
00:21:43.000And so he thought human beings were so broken, so awful by nature, his idea of a social contract, not the Rousseauan social contract.
00:21:51.000People wrote about social contract before Rousseau wrote the book Social Contract, so I don't want to blur those two lines.
00:21:58.000Hobbes then applied his analysis of human nature, saying we must have a total autocratic, tyrannical government because human beings are so awful and they're just going to tear each other to shreds.
00:22:07.000John Locke came a little bit after Thomas Hobbes, but overlapped in history, right around the same time, he really wrote on three big things.
00:22:15.000Education, how we should be ruled, and the importance of diversity of opinion and religion.
00:22:21.000Now, the first thing, let's just start with the last one.
00:22:22.000John Locke talked about how we must be tolerant of other people's opinions.
00:22:28.000This was in direct contradiction to the divine rights of kings.
00:22:32.000Now, mind you, he thought that religion was a personal choice, and he really said that we must have tolerance for other people's opinion.
00:22:40.000That idea of tolerance was actually straight from John Locke, interestingly enough.
00:22:44.000So John Locke's most famous writings, though, was around individual rights.
00:22:49.000I could categorize John Locke under the category of philosophical constitutionalism.
00:22:54.000He came up with this idea of natural rights.
00:22:56.000So he did agree with Thomas Hobbes in man in the state of nature.
00:23:02.000He totally disagreed at the application of what you do with that.
00:23:06.000He did believe that people were generally solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short in the state of nature.
00:23:12.000Now, mind you, Thomas Hobbes and his analysis of people in the state of nature is directly in contradiction with the Rousseauian idea of the people in the state of nature.
00:23:20.000Hobbes thought that people were naturally brutish and awful, and this is actually totally congruent with the idea of original sin, that man is so awful at birth, and because of that, we must have a total autocrat.
00:24:07.000It was actually one of the most important and instructive writings around this thing, around this idea called the association of ideas.
00:24:13.000This is really where we get the idea of elementary education, three and four and five-year-olds saying that the younger the education is actually the most important to the philosophical and moral foundations.
00:24:54.000Actually, in the original drafts of the Declaration, he did have property, but he didn't want to be accused of plagiarism when it came to John Locke.
00:25:01.000Now, mind you, John Locke is probably the most instructive, important philosopher of the 1600s on until the American founding.
00:25:08.000The American founders found so much wisdom in John Locke for good reason.
00:25:13.000He said that you should not be ruled by a monarch, that there actually might be limited government, and the people have the right of revolution.
00:25:20.000In fact, it is government's role to protect rights.
00:25:23.000And you had these religious colonies founding in America, and this was music to their ears.
00:25:28.000They said, wait a second, we can start a government that protects rights.
00:25:37.000Now, mind you, John Locke didn't get everything absolutely correct, but it's hard for me to find anything that he wrote that I categorically disagree with.
00:25:46.000Thomas Hobbes got a lot right on his analysis of human behavior because he saw people tearing each other to shreds, literally.
00:25:54.000But his application of it was used by tyrants all across the 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s.
00:26:00.000And so Thomas Hobbes and John Locke are two very important people to study.
00:26:03.000If you want to learn more about the foundations of America and where we get these ideas from, John Locke and the Bible are probably the two most important places to look.
00:26:13.000Adam Smith as well, but Adam Smith didn't come until like 100 years after John Locke.
00:26:18.000John Locke was part of the Scottish Enlightenment.
00:26:20.000He started the Scottish Enlightenment.
00:26:40.000There's so much good that came from Scotland, including the idea of natural rights, individual liberty, property, the sanctuary of the individual, and all of Western society.
00:26:49.000So that's a little bit of a crash course on Thomas Hobbes and John Locke.
00:26:54.000And now, mind you, I do want to give Thomas Hobbes a little bit more handicap.
00:27:00.000He did write this in the midst of a civil war.
00:27:03.000He did believe in absolute authority, but he did that out of his own fear that he thought human beings would not be able to participate in self-government.
00:27:09.000John Locke deserved credit because he went as far as to say, what if?
00:27:14.000What if human beings could be generally moral, generally in the right direction of trying to improve themselves?
00:27:21.000Create a government that is limited and people can be free.
00:27:55.000So look, the American founding is intentionally misrepresented by the American left.
00:28:01.000The more I study it, the more I realize the courage, the conviction that it took for the first American presidents just to keep this entire experiment together.
00:28:11.000Did you know that in 1777, Vermont, the first state to abolish slavery, did so out of inspiration from the signing of the Declaration of Independence?
00:28:20.000So it was actually after the American founding, right after, that inspired the abolition of slavery, not the continuation of slavery.
00:28:30.000I'm simply talking about factually how long it took America to remove that sin from our country.
00:28:38.000You look at the early presidents, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Henry Harrison, and John Tyler, but specifically Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, the first five presidents.
00:28:51.000They were all different in their own way.
00:28:53.000Washington, of course, was a war hero, and he was really wrestling with how to create a government.
00:28:59.000In 1787, there was actually a huge debate in the Constitutional Convention of how do we actually choose a president?
00:29:06.000Now, Washington, God bless him, and they're taking down his statue right now.
00:29:10.000And any history teacher in the country that does not teach this history is doing an immoral service to their students.
00:29:18.000It is simply and totally immoral not to teach the beauty of America to our own citizens.
00:29:26.000It actually gives me physical pain to know that there are children in our own country that are being taught to hate America.
00:29:32.000That's why when you guys support us at charliekirk.com slash support, we have dozens of new contributors.
00:29:53.000So George Washington rejected the idea of becoming a king or a monarch.
00:29:57.000In fact, there was a huge debate in the beginning stages of the country whether or not they should call the president His Highness or Your Highness.
00:30:06.000Instead, they settled on His Excellency.
00:30:09.000And eventually, by Thomas Jefferson, they called him Mr. President.
00:30:14.000Now, mind you, George Washington had to kind of create a cabinet around him.
00:30:29.000I know there's some here and there, and there was an Adams series, but not nearly enough at all.
00:30:34.000Thomas Jefferson was Secretary of State for George Washington.
00:30:38.000There were some huge court decisions that eventually came through where we established judicial review.
00:30:43.000But the vice president for George Washington was John Adams, who actually ended up becoming the second president of the United States.
00:30:51.000The capital of the United States was first in New York.
00:30:53.000It would move to Philadelphia, and eventually they brought it down to Washington, D.C.
00:30:57.000Now, mind you, what really set the precedent for presidents was when George Washington decided to serve only two terms.
00:31:02.000Now, mind you, that precedent was basically followed until Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who served three terms, elected to a fourth and died in the fourth.
00:31:11.000And eventually we passed the 22nd Amendment in 1951, I believe it was, that's right, yeah, 1951, which prohibited any president to serve more than two terms.
00:31:20.000And by the way, if we have term limits for our presidents, why don't we have term limits for our members of Congress?
00:31:25.000And mind you, one of the interesting things that the founders actually never thought that we would have political parties.
00:31:29.000They never actually thought we'd get into different buckets or brackets.
00:31:32.000They thought there'd be factions and they warned against them, but within a couple of years, we had political parties.
00:31:36.000We had Hamilton running the Federalists and Jefferson running the Anti-Federalists.
00:31:40.000Now, mind you, in 1793, one of my most favorite things happened.
00:31:43.000If you don't know this history because a teacher did not teach you this history, then shame on the teacher.
00:31:48.000I encourage you guys to pour into American history.
00:31:51.000They're trying to delete our history right now.
00:31:53.000They're trying to destroy our country from within.
00:31:55.000It makes me so proud to be an American.
00:31:56.000And as we get closer to July 4th, I hope that you guys spend hours of reading about Washington and Adams and Jefferson and Madison and Monroe, Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Henry Harrison, Tyler, Lincoln, Grant, you name it.
00:32:08.000The statues they're trying to take town.
00:32:13.000Understand the moral governance that they fought for.
00:32:16.000But in 1793, George Washington declared us neutral from the French European War.
00:32:22.000This is a really big deal because it really set a precedent that we were not going to get involved in European squabbles and allowed America to flourish.
00:32:29.000One of my favorite things that I believe happened in 1794, I recently did a kind of a couple-hour study on this, was when George Washington summoned federal troops to stop a whiskey tax rebellion in western Pennsylvania.
00:32:59.000He did help write the Declaration of Independence.
00:33:01.000He put James Monroe, who ended up being the fifth president as a diplomat to try to end this foreign intervention into our own country.
00:33:09.000And Adams, he passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, which were met with a little bit of hostility.
00:33:14.000And they said, yeah, that First Amendment thing, I don't know if we're really going to live by that.
00:33:17.000And said, if you write anything against our country, we're going to come after you.
00:33:20.000By 1801, Thomas Jefferson became the third president.
00:33:23.000Of course, he had some very strong opinions.
00:33:26.000He was an architect and actually lost the bid to design the White House.
00:33:30.000One of the most important things happened under this idea of judicial review.
00:33:33.000You had Chief Justice Marshall, Marbury versus Madison, which was a huge collision of federal oversight through the Supreme Court.
00:33:40.000And finally, by the fourth president, James Madison, we had the War of 1812, which almost brought down the entire country as we know it.
00:33:48.000The first lady, Dolly Madison, was kind of invented the first lady role, prevented the portrait of George Washington from actually being destroyed.
00:33:56.000There's over 2,000 Americans that were killed in the War of 1812, but God makes bad things work for good.
00:34:17.000From our founding, we established an ideal that we did not even necessarily live up to: that all men are created equal, equal under law, not equal of outcome.
00:34:28.000Equal under law, then equal of opportunity, never equal of outcome.
00:35:07.000And the writings of the founders need to be understood and the sacrifices they made in the most infant stages of America, especially as we come up on July 4th, and even more so as they try to burn down our country from within.
00:35:35.000Anyways, I have a question about the model minority that supposedly is a tactic of white supremacists when people talk about how Asians are the wealthiest.
00:36:03.000She says, model minority sets up Asian Americans on a pedestal above all ethnic minorities by pointing out that the success of a race proved the American dream is achievable for everyone as long as they work hard enough.
00:36:20.000Although diligence can result in rewards, to some extent, model minority, quote, downplays racism and dismisses claims of white privilege.
00:36:26.000Okay, so Sky Lee is totally wrong here, first of all, because those of us that debunk white privilege, the first thing we talk about is not how many hours worked.
00:36:35.000It's actually the family you come from, whether or not you have a two-parent household or not.
00:36:39.000So that's completely different than how hard you work.
00:36:41.000Yes, meritocracy or the input you put into something matters.
00:36:46.000However, the hierarchy of which you are able to rise or fall in is mostly a byproduct of a two-parent household.
00:36:54.000It is the number one indicator for success.
00:36:57.000Fact, a white child raised by a single mother is less likely to succeed than a black child raised by a mother and a father.
00:37:05.000Sky Lee continues by saying, additionally, using the term to describe all Asian Americans isn't representative since it covers such a vast diverse range of people.
00:37:12.000It looks past certain races, such as Bhutanese Americans, who have, quote, far higher rates of poverty than other Asian populations, according to NPR.
00:37:20.000However, if you actually break it down, six of the more, let's say, fractionalized Asian groups, such as Vietnamese Americans or Korean Americans, still earn more than white Americans every single year.
00:37:33.000And a lot of the individuals from Bhutan came here as refugees.
00:37:38.000If they do the three things that are most likely needed to succeed in America, get married before you have kids, get a job, any job, graduate from high school, you will succeed in America.
00:37:48.000She finishes by saying, by crediting Asian Americans solely on the success of their work, it makes people question why African Americans aren't doing as well.
00:37:55.000However, while, quote, Asian Americans have faced various forms of discrimination, end quote, it's not the same as, quote, the systemic dehumanization that black people have faced during slavery and continue to face today.
00:38:23.000Those two things are not because of the color of their skin.
00:38:25.000It's because we destroyed the family in general in the 1960s.
00:38:30.000It just so happens the black family being more urban focused was more victim to that than any other population.
00:38:38.000There are other reasons to attribute suffering than racism.
00:38:42.000If you blame every single thing in the world on racism, which of course is a legitimate sin that exists, but it is not the only problem on the planet.
00:38:50.000Fatherlessness, abdication of authority, indulgence in sexual sin, all those things need to be addressed.
00:38:59.000Sloth, gluttony, lack of responsibility, and just blaming it all on racism because black people and white people look differently, there's a massive disservice to us ever actually achieving some form of progress, as the left tries to call it.
00:39:16.000And by the way, this is exactly what happens when you indoctrinate a country to participate in the grievance oppression Olympics.
00:39:22.000Instead of accepting that Asian Americans have been amazingly successful, they want to explain it as yet another reason to pinpoint white privilege.
00:39:32.000It is correct that not all Asian cultures perform equally as well.
00:39:37.000But that's why we're always very quick to be specific about which subgroup within it is earning an average on what amount.
00:39:44.000And by the way, Indian Americans have a different culture than Taiwanese, and Indian Americans earn about $118,000 per year in America.
00:39:51.000White Americans, $74,000 per year in America.
00:40:05.000And so look, this idea of model minority, I asked myself, well, the model human being, the model person in America is someone who gets married, doesn't cheat on their spouse, acts ethically, works hard, tells the truth, and does that over again.
00:40:21.000That was the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s American dream.
00:40:24.000That's why we became the strongest superpower on the face of the planet.
00:40:27.000If you do those three things and you obey the laws that were given to us in the Bible and you act with compassion and love and honesty and the teachings of Christ, you're going to succeed.
00:40:38.000And you're really going to succeed as a culture, especially if you work hard and you embrace entrepreneurship and risk-taking.
00:40:44.000When you get away from those things, which has been encouraged, in fact, glorified in some communities in America, that's when you start to see the destruction that we're seeing.
00:42:36.000They attacked me on their Instagram and made fun of me for apologizing.
00:42:39.000At this point, I wanted to move out of my city and start a new life.
00:42:42.000Fortunately, there were those who were there for me, family and friends and fellow conservatives, even a few liberals who have simple human decency.
00:42:49.000I wanted to share this experience with you because of what effect it had on me, my reputation, my mental health, my self-esteem, because my opinion and where I placed my support was out of line with theirs.
00:42:59.000I won't forget those who defended and comfort me and offered to help on both sides.
00:43:03.000And it reminds me that there are people with decency on both sides, but it is one thing that is leftists feed upon.
00:43:11.000Most of what they were arguing with me was about racism, which is a form of intolerance.
00:43:15.000And yet, they were very intolerant of my beliefs, and I find that to be contradictory.
00:43:20.000I know I'm a conservative Trump supporter here to stay, and I know there are good people in this world, just as there are those who think they can fight fire with fire.
00:43:28.000God bless you, Charlie Kirk, and let's keep America great.
