00:00:45.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:31.000So the defense bill had $300 million for Ukraine inside the bill that has been there for years.
00:02:39.000And this money goes into a special fund that the Biden administration has been using to send equipment and weapons to fund the war in Ukraine.
00:02:49.000As a matter of fact, they have spent a lot of the money out of that fund that was built up over the years.
00:03:14.000As a matter of fact, I voted with the Democrats to knock down the rule.
00:03:20.000So I voted against the Republican rule for the defense bill, sending a strong message to my conference, sending a strong message that I am completely against the war money for Ukraine.
00:03:33.000Then after that happened, I had a lot of conversations.
00:03:38.000Again, I had an anti-war protest against the Ukraine war on the front of the Capitol steps.
00:03:43.000I argued in conference that if they want to fund money for Ukraine, they need to strip it out and they can vote for it, that I'm not voting for it.
00:03:52.000And there's other members that do not want to vote for it.
00:03:57.000And so what they did is they created another amendment that pulled the money out and we had to vote again on a separate rule that was pulled the money out of the defense bill.
00:04:09.000So the defense bill came to the floor last night and we passed the defense appropriations bill, which is filled with so many great things, but we passed it with no money for Ukraine.
00:04:22.000So then there was this also 311 to 117 vote.
00:04:31.000I'm just trying to understand all this because tell us about that.
00:04:35.000So that is a separate funding bill for Ukraine.
00:04:38.000So there's 117 Republicans that voted against the $300 million that was originally inside the defense bill, but was stripped out and was a separate vote.
00:04:51.000So what you're seeing is you're now seeing over half of the Republican conference is now against sending money to Ukraine.
00:05:01.000This is a big, it's a big step in the right direction because in the beginning, Charlie, over 18 months ago, on the first vote when I voted no, I believe I was one of maybe three people, Thomas Massey and Matt Gates, I think were the only other two Republicans that voted with me against money for Ukraine.
00:05:21.000But now 117 Republicans last night voted against funding for Ukraine.
00:05:28.000And we passed a fully funded defense appropriation bill with no money for Ukraine.
00:05:34.000I mean, this is, it's not a full victory.
00:05:37.000I'm not saying that we completely stopped because we couldn't stop the 300 million, but we passed a defense bill funding the Department of Defense with no funding for the Ukraine war.
00:05:48.000So Congresswoman Green, the government will quote unquote pause, slow down tomorrow if there's not an agreement met.
00:05:54.000Do you anticipate the House being able to fulfill the mandate given by voters and or will the government shut down?
00:06:02.000Please, what do you think is going to happen?
00:06:20.000I'm a successful business owner, Charlie, and I've always kept my business running, but we did it the right way.
00:06:26.000And I'm very upset that Congress, this Congress that we control, actually went home in August and half of September, and we didn't stay in Washington and do our jobs, which we should have done.
00:06:38.000As a matter of fact, we should have been here the entire year passing our appropriation bills because that is the job that we're supposed to do by the Constitution for the United States House of Representatives.
00:06:50.000And I think we should stay here and keep doing our hard work to pass these appropriation bills, which we have been doing this week because we've actually been working at it.
00:07:04.000The Senate has already said that it's dead on arrival, the one that we're supposed to vote on today.
00:07:09.000The Senate has said they won't pass it.
00:07:12.000The White House has said they won't pass it because we know the Biden administration is America last.
00:07:17.000So this vote that's about to happen is for a CR that probably won't pass the House and the Senate won't pass it and the White House won't pass it.
00:07:25.000So it's a more, it's more wasted time where we should be working hard on our appropriation bills.
00:07:30.000In closing, how does the border factor into all these negotiations?
00:07:34.000The borders should be the number one concern.
00:07:37.000And that has been my strongest argument, Charlie, is I have been fighting with my colleagues that the only border we should care about is the United States border, not Ukraine's border, and that we should be united as a government, no matter which political party we represent in defending and securing our border.
00:07:55.000As a matter of fact, Charlie, I've had some pretty heated conversation with some of my colleagues that are all in for killing Russians, but yet they don't have enough courage to take on the Mexican cartels.
00:08:06.000And I think that's the war that we should be focused on is the war that the Mexican cartels have waged against our country that's killing 300 Americans a day.
00:08:15.000I just have to say, it's very creepy and weird when I hear people like we have to kill as many Russians as possible.
00:08:21.000It's very dark, like very weird and dark for a country that really hasn't killed any Americans in the last, I'm not saying Russia is a good country.
00:08:52.000And then finally, is there any concern by even moderate Democrats to try to secure the border?
00:08:58.000Are they all in for the invasion and the third worldification of America?
00:09:02.000Charlie, I serve on the Homeland Committee, and I can tell you right now that Democrats are all in on the invasion of America.
00:09:09.000As a matter of fact, I hardly hear any of them talk about border security measures.
00:09:13.000As a matter of fact, they constantly defend migrants that are invading our country illegally.
00:09:20.000So they're all in for migrants' rights, not the rights of United States citizens.
00:09:25.000They don't care about Eagle Pass or any other border town.
00:09:28.000They don't care about New York City being overrun.
00:09:30.000They don't care about the people that are dying from fentanyl being trafficked across our border.
00:09:36.000And they certainly don't care about migrant children that the Biden administration has lost.
00:09:40.000And now we're getting close to 100,000 migrant children that no one knows where they are, but yet they still want to talk about Trump put children in cages.
00:10:46.000That is mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, including the MyPillow 2.0 mattress topper, my pillow kitchen towel sets, and so much more.
00:10:54.000Call 800-875-0425 or go to mypillow.com, use promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
00:11:04.000So Senator Diane Feinstein has passed away, which means that there's an open Senate seat.
00:11:10.000Gavin Newsom has pledged that he is going to fill that Senate seat in an affirmative action type way, obviously, not for someone who is qualified, not for someone who is smart, not someone who knows what they're doing.
00:11:23.000No, the same way that Michelle Obama got into Princeton, the same way that Katanji Brown Jackson, et cetera, et cetera, he said that I am going to nominate or name a black female.
00:11:39.000Now, there are 13 candidates who have announced that they are running for Feinstein's seat next year.
00:11:44.000The big three are Barbara Lee, Katie Porter, and Adam Schiff.
00:11:47.000Adam Schiff, unless he has some surgery and puts on blackface, Adam Schiff is not going to be in the running.
00:11:55.000Poor Shifty Schiff, which I think is hilarious because Schiff has done all the virtue signaling stuff you could imagine.
00:12:01.000And to have the very ideas that he's been advancing to come against him, I think is absolutely hilarious.
00:12:06.000So Gavin Newsom has already said that the replacement for Feinstein, of course, will be a black woman, but that he plans to appoint someone who won't run for a full term in 24.
00:14:20.000This is why Candace Owens is hated and feared so much, because Candace Owens is a strong, confident, powerful black woman who doesn't believe in Marxism.
00:14:32.000That's why they hate Candace Owens so much and why Candace is so effective because she is supposed to be that.
00:15:32.000They're not laws, but it's going to be very interesting because now the U.S. Senate business for the Democrats, as a shutdown is looming, pause, partial shutdown, is that they're one vote down.
00:15:42.000So Gavin Newsom has to make a decision very, very quickly.
00:15:47.000So, Gavin Newsom has to fit his identity politics criteria.
00:15:50.000Gavin Newsom has to take orders from his boss, Nancy Pelosi.
00:15:55.000Gavin Newsome also has to weigh his own political ambitions.
00:15:58.000So, he puts someone in there that could potentially help him if he's called to come out of the bullpen.
00:16:03.000So, I don't have time to fully kind of summarize this.
00:16:08.000You are going to see a very interesting picture of what the Democrats are actually thinking in 2024 based on who they select for Diane Feinstein's vacated seat.
00:16:25.000When the government used emergency edicts during COVID to restrict the gathering and worship of churches, three pastors facing the risk of imprisonment, unlimited fines, and their own churches being ripped apart took a courageous stand and reopened their doors in the face of a world that chose to comply.
00:16:41.000The Essential Church is a feature-length documentary that explores the struggle between the church and government throughout history.
00:16:48.000The story uncovers those who have sacrificed their lives throughout history for what they believe in.
00:16:52.000Rediscover why the church is essential and how we prove this stand remains true from a scientific, legal, and most importantly, a theological and biblical perspective.
00:17:27.000Heather, thank you for taking the time.
00:17:28.000Heather, I want to start with you commenting on your visit to University of California, Berkeley.
00:17:33.000Tell our audience all about the wonderfully tolerant students at UC Berkeley, where you come to talk about some rather non-controversial things, should be non-controversial.
00:17:44.000Well, it is very controversial to tell students that they are actually the most privileged individuals in human history simply by virtue of being on a college campus and having access in theory to knowledge.
00:17:55.000And there's nothing that makes black law students even more upset than being told that the reality in our world today is black privilege.
00:18:05.000So I was doing a QA with Stephen Hayward about my book and saying that the reason that we have racial disparities today is not because of racism.
00:18:15.000It's because of ongoing skills gaps and behavior gaps when it comes to crime.
00:18:21.000And the students had already defaced the posters for my event with the phrase racist.
00:18:28.000And the heckling, especially towards the end, grew very intense.
00:18:40.000And when I said finally, you know, the reality today is black privilege, that resulted in utter pandemonium.
00:18:47.000But, you know, as you know, Charlie, there's nothing more depressing than being in the face of the student mob and seeing the utter emotional, spiritual, psychological commitment to the lie that, especially if you're a black student, that you're the victim of racism.
00:19:07.000I mean, it's preposterous on its face.
00:19:09.000The Berkeley Law School is discriminating against Black students, but as simply an empirical matter, we know that the Berkeley Law School and virtually every University of California entity and campus is so determined to have black students and black professors that they are using vast racial preferences.
00:19:33.000They are hiring faculty who, if presenting the same test scores, the same academic record, if they were white and Asian, would most likely be rejected.
00:19:45.000So Berkeley Law School is absolutely fanatically committed to having black students there.
00:19:51.000And yet these law students are just psychotically committed to the idea that they experience, as they said, we experience racism every single day here.
00:20:46.000Whether it be watching television commercials where the commercials are obviously overstaffed with black actors not proportional to the population, affirmative action type, you know, standards that are there.
00:20:58.000Talk about black privilege in society, because we're told about white privilege, but it's in fact the opposite.
00:21:05.000Well, I would not even bother about the commercials.
00:21:08.000It may be that that's a good example because it's the most obvious and visible to people.
00:21:12.000But frankly, if capitulating to the phony racism narrative only meant a way disproportionate of blacks on commercials, I could easily live.
00:21:26.000It's much worse, Charlie, as you well know.
00:21:28.000What we're seeing in medical schools is Black college seniors being admitted who would be automatically rejected if they were white and Asian because their test scores are so low.
00:21:39.000And once they get in medical schools, they cluster in the bottom of the class because of academic mismatch.
00:21:45.000And so what we're doing now is changing the standards for medical licensing to make sure that we pass on more black doctors without their low skills getting detected by a grading system.
00:21:57.000Black faculty in medical schools are being hired and promoted.
00:22:01.000Blacks are being put on the top of medical schools and cancer research centers with research records that are far inferior to the white males who were rejected.
00:22:13.000And this is going on across the sciences.
00:22:15.000We are destroying our capacity to compete with China in medical, in research, nanotechnology, computer research.
00:22:24.000The fact of the matter is, if you're black today, you are going to be the first on the list to get hired and promoted if you have even remotely plausible qualifications.
00:22:34.000I will believe in white privilege, Charlie, when I hear about a single black high school senior who chooses to put his race down as white because he thinks that that would be.
00:22:49.000You've got a lot of white imposters wanting to be black because they accurately read the situation that being black today gives you an automatic entry into the media.
00:23:29.000And then when you ask, you know, very basic questions, such as, you know, blacks are 12 to 15% of the population, depending on which census you take, and yet commit 60% of the violent crime or 55 to 60%.
00:23:43.000Why do blacks commit so much more crime than the percentage that they compose in the country?
00:23:48.000Well, one of the primary reasons is the pathologies of the inner city.
00:23:53.000And the primary among those pathologies is the breakdown of the black family.
00:23:57.000You have 71% of black children now being born out of wedlock.
00:24:01.000When Daniel Patrick Moynihan issued his present warning in 1965, saying that civil rights progress will come to a halt unless the breakdown of the black family ends, because black boys are not being socialized by their fathers.
00:24:16.000They're being raised by single mothers who were not able to do it.
00:24:20.000Moynihan thought we were at the end of any further civil rights progress and being able to expect further racial equality when the black out of redlock birth out of wedlock birth rate was 23 percent.
00:24:37.000But beyond just the family breakdown, you have a whole stigma against acting white, which is defined by making effort in school, by showing up to your class, by going to school, by taking your textbooks home to study.
00:24:52.000All of that is demeaned as acting white, and you have the glorification of gangster culture.
00:25:16.000And the stores, whether it's Walmart or CVS or Target, they would rather simply shut down and deprive their law-abiding customers of their prescription availability of being able to shop for necessary first aid materials than to arrest shoplifters and being accused by the ACLU of racism because the mass majority of shoplifters and looters that they will arrest in a colorblind fashion are black.
00:25:44.000And so we've all decided we're going to turn our eyes away from black crime, put up with it, then actually enforce the law and have a disparate impact on black criminals.
00:25:56.000We pay off looters after Floyda Palooza, major metropolitan cities were issuing tens of millions of dollars in I'm sorry payments for people that were arrested.
00:26:06.000Heather, and equally as concerning pathology that I want your comments on, why are so many whites, so many elite whites, with you call them woke or whatever you want, why are they the ones pushing this?
00:26:19.000Because this is what's so fascinating.
00:26:39.000I'm going to do a little game on you, Charlie, and say that you're engaged in the same white bashing as the elites in a sense, because I hear this all the time from conservative whites who want to hold blacks harmless and say, well, the problem is us whites, the left-wing elite whites.
00:27:28.000When Google, Amazon all said they're presiding over racist institutions and they all pledged to up their hiring of blacks, even though it's already disproportionate compared to the ratio of actually qualified blacks.
00:27:49.000We were a country that exercised white privilege in an extraordinarily brutal, callous, and cruel way.
00:27:56.000And that took far too long to end, but end it did.
00:28:01.000But these whites feel like their only moral legitimacy comes from bashing other whites and claiming to be still presiding or looking upon a racial injustice.
00:28:14.000And nobody better personifies this than Joe Biden.
00:28:17.000I was always appalled by the fact that conservative commentators were willing to play into this notion that he's a uniter.
00:28:25.000This was coming from the Wall Street Journal.
00:28:27.000It was coming from Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, that, oh, what a wonderfully unifying inaugural speech he gave.
00:28:33.000No, he was bashing whites even in his inaugural speech.
00:28:37.000And he made that a theme that whites are still perennially racist.
00:28:43.000It was a stain on our soul, but it is not now, Charlie.
00:28:47.000And as you say, the reality today is black privilege.
00:28:51.000As long as we continue to that the only allowable explanation for racial disparities is racism and that standards that have a racial disparate impact are racist and we tear them down, we are ending.
00:29:05.000And white males, you guys, it's over for you.
00:29:09.000You may be the most qualified applicant to a law school or a law firm.
00:29:44.000And that's part of what my question was, is that there is this kind of sitting on the sidelines, complacency of whites that are just allowing this anti-white agenda to continue.
00:29:58.000If you guys love this program and you want to support this program, if we have impacted or blessed your life in any way, I want to tell you about a new thing that we are starting it up.
00:30:07.000First of all, if you have supported us at charliekirk.com slash support, nothing to worry about.
00:30:12.000You guys are going to be moved on over.
00:30:13.000If you want to support us even more and say, hey, I want exclusive content.
00:30:18.000We are standing up this amazing infrastructure.
00:30:21.000Team's been working so hard at members.charlikirk.com.
00:30:25.000Not only is it a way to support us directly outside of all of the other channels, but get this, live Q ⁇ As of me and the team, articles exclusively written by me that you won't find anywhere else.
00:30:50.000Head to members.charliekirk.com today.
00:30:52.000Yes, there's going to be a lot of goodies, a lot of engagement, a lot of fun stuff.
00:30:55.000But even more than that, if you feel moved and compelled that our show is impacting you and impacting the world, it would mean a lot if you became a member at members.charliekirk.com.
00:31:09.000So, Heather, just give our audience the numbers again.
00:31:12.000We've done this before on the program, where you talk about what does an average black need to get as a test score to get into UC Berkeley or Stanford?
00:31:20.000And what does a white student usually, I mean, how big is that gap?
00:31:32.000Well, it's very hard to pry the data out from these universities.
00:31:37.000There's a guy who studies what's called academic mismatch, which is the fact that when you give a huge preference, catapult blacks into academic environments where they're not qualified, they don't do well.
00:31:49.000He's been fighting to get University of California data and he's not getting it.
00:31:52.000We know from Harvard, the recent preference case, that Harvard is about 14% Black.
00:32:01.000And if it did not have racial preferences, giving Blacks enormous advantage in admissions, it would be less than 1% Black.
00:32:09.000And Harvard has the pick of every top-scoring Black student in the country.
00:32:15.000But even with that, the students are mostly there because of racial preferences.
00:32:21.000So in some schools, it's a 200-point advantage.
00:32:26.000You're being treated equally as Asians with 200 points on the SATs.
00:32:33.000If you were white or Asian, you'd need those.
00:32:37.000And if you're Black, you're going to be admitted with those.
00:32:39.000So these are massive differences in statistics.
00:32:42.000It's known as a standard deviation, which is a basically fancy word for saying a very big statistical gap.
00:32:50.000And a lot of preference beneficiaries know this.
00:32:55.000They basically, I remember a New York Times article from the 90s when people were sort of semi-waking up to affirmative action and then they all went back to sleep again.
00:33:04.000But the Times interviewed some student who said, well, I know I don't need to study as hard because I'm Black and I'll get in with much lower scores and GPA.
00:33:15.000In medical schools, students, you know, medical students have like a 57% chance of admission if they're black with mediocre scores that would be about 5% if Asian or white, you know, making blacks nine times more likely to get admitted to medical school with mediocre grades than if they were Asian.
00:33:37.000And these preferences matter again because they never end.
00:33:42.000You know, I'm not going to justify it, but maybe if we would say, okay, we'll let everybody into college, but then there's going to be a point when merit matters and we're not going to pass through.
00:33:53.000And we can be confident that that doctor coming through the emergency room door is there because he was the best doctor and not because he was the best black doctor.
00:34:02.000But in fact, the preferences never end.
00:34:05.000And all the way through, you don't have to get the same grades to graduate.
00:34:09.000And I mean, and this is one of the big issues, Heather, and we'll have to have you on again.
00:34:13.000One, I'm starting to see some momentum finally in conservative circles.
00:34:17.000Christopher Caldwell deserves a lot of credit, where we can kind of go back to when they re-founded the country when most people don't realize it, which was the civil rights leviathan.
00:34:26.000It's a huge topic, but the more we can talk about it, the better.
00:34:30.000Well, the civil rights idea was the idea that America, again, was profoundly racist and needed to basically change the law to get rid of colorblindness.
00:34:39.000So the laws in theory looked to be colorblind, but they were immediately interpreted to require preferences.
00:34:45.000And so whites were basically, though they were the vast majority historically, this has been a country with European background.
00:34:52.000They were treated as the last on the totem pole.
00:34:55.000And the country became dedicated to this ideology of multiculturalism, which is relativistic, says that you cannot honor Western civilization, even though it was the most successful civilization that has given the world prosperity, freedom from fear, from sickness, from abuse.
00:35:15.000Every third world person of color wants to come to the United States because it's so successful.
00:35:20.000And yet we go around saying that the West is uniquely barbaric and racist.
00:35:27.000I'll be willing to pay reparations, Charlie, when I see African presidents saying our country is going to pay reparations for our role in the slave trade.
00:35:36.000Britain had to occupy Lagos because in the 19th century when Britain was patrolling the seas against slave trading ships, Lagos insisted on maintaining its slave trade.
00:35:48.000So Africa was utterly complicit and it continued as long as it could trading blacks into slavery when the West had said no more.
00:35:57.000Heather McDonald, when Race, Trump's Merit, an excellent book, also checked out Diversity Delusion, equally as great.
