The Charlie Kirk Show - Courage Against Critical Race Theory from Governor Ron DeSantis

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, Ron DeSantis impresses again with his fight against critical race theory.

00:00:05.000 Where are the other Republican governors?

00:00:07.000 It's time for us to understand the threat of this ideology rooted in postmodernism, rooted in critical theory.

00:00:14.000 We dive into it with the specifics on critical race theory and how it's impacting our country.

00:00:56.000 Critical race theory, we are pushing back.

00:00:58.000 Thanks to Ron DeSantis.

00:01:00.000 Buckle up.

00:01:01.000 Here we go.

00:01:02.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:04.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:06.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:09.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:12.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:13.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:14.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:23.000 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.

00:01:32.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:35.000 It may be a cliche, but when we say you are what you eat, it is the absolute truth.

00:01:40.000 Eating the right foods ensures you get the right nutrients into your body that are essential to maintain your health and vitality.

00:01:47.000 It's also true that if you're not getting enough fruits and vegetables every day, you could be seriously deficient in those nutrients so vital to your health.

00:01:54.000 Can you imagine how you'd feel if you were eating 10 servings of fruit and veggies every single day?

00:01:58.000 I can tell you from personal experience, it is a game changer because I take six daily capsules from Balance of Nature.

00:02:06.000 Just knowing I'm getting vital nutrients sourced from 31 fruits and vegetables every day makes a huge difference in my life.

00:02:34.000 I take it every day.

00:02:39.000 Use the discount code Charlie.

00:02:44.000 I remember the first time that I was able to go to a five-star hotel.

00:02:52.000 Almost every single vacation I had after that was compared to that five-star hotel.

00:02:59.000 It was a great experience, of course.

00:03:02.000 You're able to see the level of service.

00:03:06.000 You're able to see the quality of food.

00:03:08.000 And almost everything from that point forward is compared to that.

00:03:12.000 Every vacation you take, you say, yeah, that was a nice vacation, but it wasn't as nice as the four seasons in Philadelphia.

00:03:19.000 And the same can be said for politics.

00:03:22.000 And it also makes you ask the question: why aren't other hotels at that level?

00:03:27.000 Now, of course, that metaphor might seem somewhat unrelated to politics, but the more I see Governor Ron DeSantis, I ask myself the question, first of all, how incredible his leadership is right now.

00:03:43.000 But also, I ask the obvious question, why is he the only Republican governor in the country saying these things?

00:03:50.000 Why is he the only Republican governor that has an open state, that does not have a mask mandate, that has open schools?

00:03:59.000 Now, other states have opened their schools, but he was on top of the Chinese coronavirus and against lockdowns in May of last year.

00:04:09.000 He is suing big tech.

00:04:11.000 In fact, passing a piece of legislation that allows the citizens of the great state of Florida to challenge big tech in the courts and possibly even fine them.

00:04:21.000 He is an anti-rioting piece of legislation.

00:04:23.000 He has the most secure elections in the country.

00:04:25.000 They had all of their election results in by 9:30 Eastern, despite being the third most populated state in the country, the second oldest state in the country, yet some of the lowest hospitalization rates, the lowest virus rates in the entire country.

00:04:42.000 And we've been warning for some time here on this program the virus of critical race theory.

00:04:48.000 Critical race theory comes from critical theory, which is an extension of post-modernism, a theory that is built on complete garbage from Jacques Derrida, Michelle Foucault, and others around the basic idea that the only thing that matters in the world is the power dynamic of oppressor versus oppressed.

00:05:14.000 Critical race theory brings that viewpoint, and I'm oversimplifying it.

00:05:19.000 I could do a five-hour podcast on this.

00:05:21.000 And most of what I have learned, by the way, is from my friend's book, James Lindsay, Cynical Theories, who he wrote with Helen Pluckrose.

00:05:31.000 And they bring that view of power struggle, of class struggle to race, that all white people are in charge, all black people are being oppressed.

00:05:43.000 This is a very serious problem.

00:05:46.000 And it's not just a fringe viewpoint in the academy, it is in our military, it's in our civil service, it's in our corporations, it's in most schools.

00:05:57.000 Now, what an amazing opportunity for Governor Brian Kemp to come out in front of something that is a big concern for the conservative base.

00:06:08.000 Brian Kemp in Georgia could be coming out and saying, I think critical race theory is wrong and has no place in Georgia, or even Governor Greg Abbott.

00:06:18.000 Instead, it's all quiet on the Western Front.

00:06:22.000 And it seems as if there's only two governors in the entire country that are worthy of recognition.

00:06:27.000 And it's either that the other Republican governors are confused, they don't have courage.

00:06:35.000 I'm really trying to understand it.

00:06:37.000 Either that or Governor Ron DeSantis has the unique combination of a high IQ and lots of courage, something that is missing in far too many people in the Republican Party.

00:06:49.000 Listen to Governor Ron DeSantis go head on with the threat of critical race theory.

00:06:54.000 Play tape.

00:06:55.000 Florida civics curriculum will incorporate foundational concepts with the best materials, and it will expressly exclude unsanctioned narratives like critical race theory and other unsubstantiated theories.

00:07:11.000 Let me be clear: there's no room in our classrooms for things like critical race theory.

00:07:18.000 Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.

00:07:26.000 It's phenomenal.

00:07:28.000 Standing ovation is what he deserves for that.

00:07:31.000 And for every moment that we dedicate on this program, applauding and supporting and encouraging Governor Ron DeSantis, I can't help but think: where is Governor Ducey doing this?

00:07:44.000 You know that it's the curriculum in the Arizona State Board of Education to teach teachers that babies are racist, that white supremacy is something that every white child has within them from the moment that they are born.

00:07:57.000 That we should judge people based on their skin color.

00:08:00.000 And yet Florida, which is supposed to be a battleground state, is courageously leading on this issue. 0.95

00:08:05.000 Governor Brian Kemp, who is completely worthless. 0.99

00:08:09.000 He is not smart and he has no courage. 0.99

00:08:12.000 He's nowhere to be found on this issue, on voter integrity, on the lockdowns, nothing.

00:08:18.000 How about Governor Lee from Tennessee?

00:08:21.000 I've heard nothing from him on this.

00:08:24.000 Governor DeWine from Ohio.

00:08:25.000 The point is that Republican governors, if you want to actually gain support in your state, what a great issue.

00:08:33.000 And you might say, well, Charlie, critical race theory, I've heard you talk about this a little bit.

00:08:39.000 How does it actually apply?

00:08:40.000 Isn't it just some sort of esoteric academic theory?

00:08:44.000 No. 0.62

00:08:45.000 This is the instruction of your children, if they happen to be white, when they're 12, 13, or 14 years old, or even younger, that they are racist merely because they exist. 0.51

00:08:57.000 Theroot.com, which is a website full of very angry writers.

00:09:02.000 It is the angriest website on the planet.

00:09:05.000 And in fact, it is the most bigoted website.

00:09:08.000 It is, the KKK would have found a wonderful home at theroot.com. 0.90

00:09:12.000 The only difference is that the root is mostly black writers, so it's the black equivalent of the KKK. 0.93

00:09:17.000 The headline of their article yesterday that they wrote is, Whiteness is a pandemic. 0.89

00:09:25.000 Damon Young wrote this.

00:09:27.000 He's also an opinion writer for the New York Times.

00:09:30.000 And he argues that whiteness is, I'm reading, per quote, this is quote, this is what Governor DeSantis is fighting against.

00:09:37.000 Whiteness is a public health crisis.

00:09:39.000 It shortens life expectancies. 0.99

00:09:41.000 It pollutes air.

00:09:42.000 It constricts equilibrium.

00:09:44.000 It devastates forests.

00:09:46.000 It melts ice caps.

00:09:48.000 It sparks and funds wars. 1.00

00:09:50.000 It flattens dialects. 0.99

00:09:52.000 It infects consciousness and it kills people. 1.00

00:09:54.000 Oh, is that all?

00:09:56.000 Are you sure it doesn't also cause hurricanes, natural disasters, earthquake?

00:10:03.000 He almost said that.

00:10:06.000 He said, white people and people who are not white, my mom included, there will be people who die in 2050 because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.

00:10:16.000 Now, mind you, there is no evidence to support this whatsoever.

00:10:20.000 There is no empirical research to show that the legacy of slavery has any sort of significant impact on blacks in America right now. 0.97

00:10:33.000 And I could prove it to you.

00:10:34.000 But here is what, this is what Ron DeSantis is fighting against.

00:10:37.000 And if every Republican was smart and if every Republican had courage, which is a very rare combination, because either they're very smart and they have no courage and they're bought by the big corporations, which are part of the woke industrial complex, or they have tons of courage and they have really very little wisdom.

00:10:53.000 And so they're just all over the place.

00:10:55.000 And God bless those people because we need them to.

00:10:58.000 But Ron DeSantis is articulate, he's focused, and he has phenomenal courage.

00:11:05.000 And the article continues, and we are going to keep on going through this by Damon Young.

00:11:10.000 Get this. 0.99

00:11:11.000 Whiteness, white supremacy is a virus like other viruses that will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. 0.99

00:11:18.000 Is he calling for a genocide? 1.00

00:11:20.000 Sure sounds like it. 0.89

00:11:21.000 But this is perfectly acceptable scholarship in our schools.

00:11:24.000 And this is what Ron DeSantis is fighting against.

00:11:28.000 Okay, this is a guy that writes for the New York Times. 0.87

00:11:30.000 It's not some fringe, black supremacist blog. 0.56

00:11:33.000 Well, it kind of is. 0.95

00:11:34.000 It's the root.

00:11:35.000 But this guy is allegedly within the mainstream of the zeitgeist of our country, the zeitgeist, which means the spirit of our times.

00:11:43.000 It's that which is acceptable within discourse.

00:11:47.000 I'm going to read a direct quote from this piece.

00:11:51.000 And all under this idea that why isn't every Republican governor in the country speaking out against critical race theory like Ron DeSantis?

00:12:01.000 Why does Ron DeSantis have to lead on the tech issue, lead on the rioting issue, lead on the voter integrity issue, lead on the lockdown issue, lead on the school issue?

00:12:11.000 And it really actually goes to show that you only get a couple courageous people per generation.

00:12:17.000 It really goes to show that you have these other Republicans that quite honestly, they want to be a very mediocre governor and get a highway named after them and retire.

00:12:26.000 That's basically what their idea of success is.

00:12:29.000 Where Ron DeSantis actually believes in the Constitution.

00:12:33.000 Ron DeSantis understands the ideas behind it.

00:12:36.000 Ron DeSantis has Churchillian courage.

00:12:40.000 And I do not say that lightly.

00:12:42.000 Unlike Brian Kemp, who I don't know if he'll get a highway named after him, maybe a garbage dump in northern Atlanta.

00:12:50.000 Okay. 0.99

00:12:51.000 So I'm going to read, quote, white supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect, which means that the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it.

00:13:08.000 I guess a vaccine could work too, but we've had over 400 years to develop one.

00:13:13.000 So I won't hold my breath.

00:13:16.000 He is a contributing opinion editor for the New York Times.

00:13:22.000 Now, I want to just reply, I want to read this sentence again.

00:13:25.000 And imagine if it didn't say white supremacy, but if it said blackness. 1.00

00:13:30.000 Blackness is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left, which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it. 1.00

00:13:40.000 If that were to be said, Damon Young would rightly be called a bigot and a racist. 0.99

00:13:46.000 But the way that they view racism is not that racism is a mindset, which it is, and an evil mindset, but they view racism as a description of a power structure.

00:14:01.000 Remember, this comes from postmodernism, critical race theory.

00:14:05.000 It's all tied together.

00:14:07.000 And the name of this article is Whiteness is a pandemic.

00:14:11.000 Understand that a majority of school children right now, as I am doing this broadcast, are learning this.

00:14:20.000 This is not some sort of fringe theory.

00:14:25.000 And while you catch your breath or pull your car over to the side of the road as I share this with you, understand if you teach a generation that whiteness is a pandemic, where do you think that is actually going to lead? 0.83

00:14:38.000 What do you do to a pandemic? 0.91

00:14:40.000 You crush the virus. 1.00

00:14:41.000 Well, then you crush whiteness.

00:14:42.000 Oh, that's what Damon Young says. 1.00

00:14:44.000 Locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it. 0.94

00:14:47.000 These ideas are now at the top levels of the United States military. 0.97

00:14:51.000 The people that control our drones, our aircraft carriers, Tomahawk missiles, our corporations, our surveillance state.

00:14:58.000 The only way that we successfully push back against this is by courageous, Churchillian-like leaders like Ron DeSantis.

00:15:08.000 It's the only way where we call it out for what it is.

00:15:11.000 And Ron DeSantis said it clearly.

00:15:13.000 He said, not one red penny or one red cent of Florida taxpayer dollars will go to subsidize something that makes Florida children hate their country and hate each other.

00:15:27.000 What a great summary of critical race theory.

00:15:30.000 And that is precisely the type of curriculum and the type of ideology that is prevailing in our country.

00:15:38.000 And what's so funny is that the liberals and the leftists that have their BLM incorporated yard signs, they think as if they're going to be immune to this sort of mob eventually coming for them.

00:15:48.000 Of course not.

00:15:49.000 For them, everything when it comes to politics is the politics of identity, not the politics of ideas, not the politics of dialogue and discourse, dialogue coming from the Greek word through reason.

00:16:03.000 They don't want that.

00:16:04.000 They don't want to actually go to the exploration of truth.

00:16:08.000 They would rather be in charge by making you feel bad about your existence than ruling with an iron fist.

00:16:17.000 So are you making full use of your savings?

00:16:19.000 Think of the times that you've yearned for better returns.

00:16:22.000 After real inflation, charges, and taxes, are you even making a profit?

00:16:27.000 With food, clothing, and rent all more doubling over the last 10 years, you need to do something different.

00:16:33.000 Gambling on Robin Hood or stocks might lose you everything you have.

00:16:37.000 And like thousands of others, you want to retire stress-free.

00:16:41.000 A precious metals IRA with Noble Gold could be the answer you've been looking for.

00:16:45.000 And this month, Noble Gold is gifting a genuine, rare Carson City-minted Morgan silver dollar with every qualifying IRA or 401k.

00:16:53.000 These coins were around in a time when an ounce of silver was worth a dollar.

00:16:58.000 For example, in 1893, a mint condition coin is now worth more than $3,250, a staggering 32,500% increase.

00:17:09.000 That's a return of 2,500% a year.

00:17:12.000 It is a hedge against inflation.

00:17:14.000 We know inflation is coming.

00:17:15.000 So if you want something you can touch and something you can feel and something you can trade and something that is real, go to noblegoldinvestments.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.

00:17:26.000 NobleGoldInvestments.com or call 877-646-5347.

00:17:31.000 That's noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:17:36.000 Most Americans don't walk around every single moment thinking about race.

00:17:41.000 They don't.

00:17:42.000 The truth of the matter is that in the 1990s and early 2000s, when I grew up in America, most people were thinking about their own personal conduct, their character, their future, how their decisions will impact their ultimate goal, their aim, their purpose.

00:17:57.000 And that sort of a society was a very decent place to grow up in.

00:18:00.000 There is a small snapshot in American history that will be written from 1988 to 2008, right up until the election of Barack Obama, where racial tensions were going down, violent crime was going down, where young children were being taught that character matters a lot more than skin color, that bigots and racists only care about the melanin content in your skin.

00:18:25.000 And then Barack Obama became president and the critical race theorists started to get a platform.

00:18:30.000 And this has grown steadily over the last 12 to 13 years.

00:18:35.000 And I remember in 2017, one of our turning point USA groups at Texas State University and also producer Connor, who helps us out tremendously here on the Charlie Kirk show, was fighting this at Texas State.

00:18:47.000 So this is not anything, nothing new.

00:18:49.000 Let me read this story in Texas.

00:18:52.000 And of course, Greg Abbott and all of the Republicans in Texas were MIA, right, Connor?

00:18:57.000 They didn't really do anything.

00:18:58.000 This is in our schools.

00:19:00.000 And you just kind of shrug it off when it happens. 0.99

00:19:03.000 It says that white DNA is an abomination. 0.98

00:19:07.000 Not whiteness. 1.00

00:19:08.000 Your DNA is an abomination. 1.00

00:19:12.000 This is in Texas State University. 0.97

00:19:14.000 It says, and this is from a couple years ago. 0.98

00:19:16.000 Whiteness will be over because we want it to be. 0.98

00:19:19.000 And when it dies, there will be millions of cultural zombies aimlessly wandering across a vastly changed landscape. 0.99

00:19:26.000 And I quote, white death will be the liberation for all. 0.98

00:19:31.000 And that whiteness, quote, is a construct used to perpetuate a system of racist power. 1.00

00:19:36.000 And then the academic paper continues to say, until then, remember this, I hate you, white people, because you shouldn't exist. 0.99

00:19:45.000 This was published in a school newspaper at Texas State University. 0.99

00:19:50.000 You are both the dominant apparatus on the planet, not true, and the void in which all other cultures upon meeting you die.

00:19:59.000 So that's what young people are learning when they go to college. 0.96

00:20:03.000 And then they get to read the New York Times from Damon Young, who reads, quote, which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, white people, isolate it, extract it, and kill it, calling for the murder and massacre of a large portion of the American population. 0.73

00:20:20.000 But that's considered scholarship in the American Academy.

00:20:25.000 So all this ties together with the only Republican who seems to understand the threat of the lockdowns, of school closures, the mental health issue, rioting, voter integrity, Ron DeSantis.

00:20:37.000 I feel as if maybe the other Republican governors across the country, there's almost this disinformation loop that they're not seeing the same information Ron DeSantis is seeing.

00:20:50.000 And so for every Republican governor out there, why are you not like DeSantis?

00:20:55.000 He's not doing anything that difficult for, I don't know, the governor of Kansas.

00:21:02.000 Oh, she's a Democrat, actually, I think.

00:21:04.000 Bad example.

00:21:05.000 The governor of Wyoming, the governor of Texas, Arkansas, Iowa, Kim Reynolds, DeWine in Ohio.

00:21:14.000 Step up.

00:21:15.000 We need you right now.

00:21:17.000 The more noise, the more voices of people that in duly elected positions start to speak out.

00:21:22.000 And Governor Christy Noam has been great.

00:21:24.000 She's been terrific.

00:21:26.000 Governor Gianforte in Montana is a friend of mine.

00:21:29.000 He's been speaking out.

00:21:31.000 I'm going to see him, I think, in about a month and a half.

00:21:35.000 But largely, it has been silent, especially when it comes to this lie of critical race theory.

00:21:45.000 And so this is what your children are learning right here.

00:21:48.000 And it's worth deconstructing because that's what they do to us.

00:21:50.000 It's actually the school of philosophy.

00:21:52.000 It's called deconstructionism, which is that anything that came before me was a mistake.

00:21:56.000 Let's pick it apart.

00:21:57.000 Let's find the problems with it.

00:21:58.000 Let's invalidate its narrative.

00:22:01.000 And so the big claim of postmodernism is they do not believe in meta-narratives.

00:22:08.000 They do not believe that there's a right way to tell a story.

00:22:12.000 A great example of this would be: you could use the King Arthur story.

00:22:16.000 You could use the biblical narrative.

00:22:18.000 The short summary of the biblical narrative would be that God created you in his image.

00:22:24.000 He told you not to do something.

00:22:25.000 We rebelled.

00:22:26.000 We fell.

00:22:27.000 Sin is the distance from God.

00:22:29.000 He gave us another shot to come back into connection with him through ultimate redemption.

00:22:33.000 And if we accept that gift through the sacrifice that we cannot earn, we do not deserve, but it's a free gift, then you're able to be back in connection with your creator in eternal life.

00:22:43.000 That is the short summary of the biblical narrative.

00:22:46.000 They would reject that.

00:22:47.000 Instead, the postmodernists would say that is a white supremacist way to read the Bible.

00:22:52.000 Instead, the correct way to read the Bible is, what about the displacement of the Palestinian people through the conquerors of Israel?

00:23:00.000 What about who is Mary Magdalene?

00:23:03.000 Really?

00:23:03.000 The point is that they would deconstruct the text, right?

00:23:06.000 They would not take the actual reading of what the intent of the text is or what it says.

00:23:10.000 They would find ways to try and delegitimize it. 0.99

00:23:13.000 And so this is one of the claims in this article that says that whiteness is a pandemic and that we must kill white people by Damon Young. 0.99

00:23:22.000 It says, quote, whiteness extends back 400 years and has tentacles clawing everywhere. 0.99

00:23:30.000 White supremacy exists here in America, which is everywhere.

00:23:34.000 Thomas Sowell has some phenomenal scholarship on all of this.

00:23:38.000 And if every college student and high school student was required to read Thomas Sowell, our country would be a more decent, logical, and reasonable place.

00:23:46.000 And I encourage every single person watching and listening to this to go seriously read Thomas Sowell and understand his ideas.

00:23:54.000 He's, of course, a black economist.

00:23:56.000 He grew up in Harlem, studied under Milton Friedman, and his scholarship on race in particular is among the best.

00:24:05.000 And so Thomas Sowell makes the argument that the legacy of slavery, which is the core point of argument for the critical race theorists and the bigots that write for the New York Times, is that black people are suffering today because of the legacy of slavery.

00:24:23.000 And Thomas Sowell makes the argument, which I completely agree with because the data is there, is that black people were getting richer at a higher rate than white people before the Great Society Act passed, before Lyndon Baines Johnson passed the Great Society program.

00:24:40.000 In fact, black poverty was plummeting far before the welfare state was ever implemented. 0.92

00:24:46.000 In fact, blacks were more likely to be married in two-parent households before the Great Society Act in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, more so than white families.

00:24:55.000 This idea of the legacy of slavery, the question is, why is it then that once slavery was ended, black life or the black quality of life was improving dramatically. 0.64

00:25:08.000 And then we passed the Great Society Act, and the farther away we get, the further we are from slavery, the worse off blacks get.

00:25:16.000 Doesn't that sort of delegitimize the argument? 0.92

00:25:19.000 Why is it that blacks that were closer to the actual action of slavery were doing far better in relation to the times that they were in than the blacks of today?

00:25:29.000 Thomas Sowell makes the argument that racism is an attitude in people's minds. 0.80

00:25:34.000 Discrimination is an action.

00:25:36.000 Racism is not something that you can feel or touch.

00:25:39.000 It is an attitude.

00:25:40.000 It is a belief system. 0.91

00:25:42.000 And if you look at the fundamental issues in the black community, the number one issue is absent fathers. 0.59

00:25:49.000 Now, you read this Damon Young piece that says whiteness is a pandemic.

00:25:54.000 Almost no college, no professor, and very few students are being exposed to this.

00:26:00.000 So he makes the argument here that white supremacy, which is a, by the way, it's an undefined villain.

00:26:07.000 Do you notice that?

00:26:08.000 They're never able to specify exactly what white supremacy is.

00:26:12.000 Is it a person?

00:26:13.000 Is it a cause?

00:26:14.000 Is it an organization?

00:26:15.000 Is it a region?

00:26:16.000 Is it a people?

00:26:17.000 It's just very vague, and it's intentionally vague.

00:26:20.000 It's intentionally vague because once they start to be more specific, well, then we'll be able to either agree or cross-examine or delegitimize their argument.

00:26:29.000 So the less specific they're able to be, the more power they're able to assume under that narrative. 0.84

00:26:35.000 It says white supremacy is a virus. 0.94

00:26:37.000 Remember, this is a New York Times columnist. 0.99

00:26:39.000 This is not some Black Panther member in Georgia that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. 0.99

00:26:51.000 So basically, we either have to go abolish all white people or we have to go fight white supremacy in our time. 0.98

00:26:58.000 Basically, calling for the genocide of white people is what Damon Young is arguing for. 1.00

00:27:02.000 Whiteness is a pandemic. 0.99

00:27:04.000 This is where this is headed. 0.82

00:27:06.000 Our education system is creating the most racist generation since the KKK and Jim Crow.

00:27:14.000 Most Americans do not walk around obsessed about other people's skin color. 0.78

00:27:18.000 They want that to be the case.

00:27:20.000 And the obvious question that we get emailed us all the time at freedom at charliekirk.com is why?

00:27:26.000 It's because once people start organizing themselves based on tribal group, they become a lot easier to command and control, more likely to obey.

00:27:35.000 You see, multicultural pluralism, which for a brief moment in American history we actually enjoyed, made us the least racist country in the history of the world and the most decent country.

00:27:46.000 I still think we're there, but we're losing it because of our intentional actions and intentional steps that we are taking.

00:27:55.000 And you look at this Texas student newspaper column from a couple of years ago.

00:28:00.000 Where were the parents in Texas doing anything about this?

00:28:03.000 They didn't. 0.89

00:28:04.000 They just shrugged it off and they laughed at it, where it said, white death will mean the liberation for all. 1.00

00:28:10.000 It says, until this, remember, I hate you because you shouldn't exist, white people. 0.99

00:28:15.000 This was an article written in the Texas State School newspaper a couple of years ago. 0.98

00:28:21.000 And this is one of hundreds of examples that we have.

00:28:24.000 And so this racial reckoning that we're supposed to be told because of George Floyd's death, which more and more looks like a drug overdose, not a police officer that murdered him, but the jury will decide that.

00:28:37.000 We have a video completely on that topic.

00:28:41.000 And there's so much misinformation around that.

00:28:43.000 It's stunning.

00:28:44.000 Because of that one specific incident, we're supposed to unravel all the ties that bind us together.

00:28:50.000 This is the most important fight that's happening that most Republicans are afraid of.

00:28:55.000 The reason why the Democrats and liberals have been able to assume so much power so quickly is because most decent people are afraid of being called the R-word.

00:29:07.000 Because most decent people, whether you realize it or not, the biggest fear that is over your head is that one day someone might post on your Facebook feed and say, you're a racist.

00:29:19.000 And you know what that means.

00:29:20.000 No more invites to parties.

00:29:22.000 You'll lose friends.

00:29:23.000 You'll lose jobs.

00:29:24.000 You'll be blacklisted.

00:29:26.000 So people say, okay, I'll go along even though I know it's wrong.

00:29:30.000 And the broader point is, if that continues, this beautiful gift in society we've been given will crumble.

00:29:37.000 The time for courage is now.

00:29:41.000 Look, we all know that conservatives are getting kicked off of social media.

00:29:45.000 So why are we choosing to give all these tech companies all of our data?

00:29:49.000 Now is the time to take a stand.

00:29:51.000 Protect your personal data from big tech with the VPN I trust for my online protection, ExpressVPN.

00:29:57.000 You see, every device, whether you're on your phone, laptop, or television, has a unique string of numbers called an IP address.

00:30:02.000 When you search for stuff, watch videos, or even click a link, big tech companies can use that IP address to track all your activity and tie it back to you.

00:30:09.000 When I use ExpressVPN, my connection gets rerouted through their secure encrypted servers.

00:30:13.000 So these companies can never see my IP address at all.

00:30:17.000 My internet activity becomes anonymized and my network data is encrypted.

00:30:21.000 And the best part is you don't need to be tech savvy at all to use ExpressVPN.

00:30:24.000 Just download the app on your phone or computer, tap one button, and you're protected.

00:30:28.000 Protect your internet activity with the VPN I use every single day.

00:30:46.000 All of this critical race theory, the hyperracialization of America, caring about people's skin color, not character, is now right in the news cycle around the tragic killing of eight people in Georgia.

00:31:01.000 Now, this story was very slow to surface to the top of news.

00:31:06.000 Usually when there's a mass shooting, immediately it gets politicized for gun control.

00:31:12.000 However, the Democrats and the activist media, including the New York Times, have realized that there's a better way to get power.

00:31:22.000 You see, I remember growing up that whenever there was a mass shooting, Democrats immediately went to gun control arguments instantaneously.

00:31:31.000 Now they realize there's something that sells papers better and is able to get public support, and that is the race war that they want to see happen in America.

00:31:40.000 Remember, the critical race theorist Damon Young, who says whiteness is a pandemic, and all the education of our children, they are focused on making America more racist, caring more about people's skin.

00:31:58.000 And so the front page of the New York Times says rampage in Georgia deepens fears of rising anti-Asian hatred in the United States.

00:32:07.000 So Trevor Noah, who's a very irresponsible person, and he's just not funny.

00:32:11.000 He isn't, but he's an angry man.

00:32:14.000 Let's play Cut 79.

00:32:15.000 Here's what he had to say about the tragedy.

00:32:17.000 And yes, it is a tragedy.

00:32:18.000 Play tape.

00:32:19.000 This is truly horrifying.

00:32:21.000 Eight people dead, six of them Asian women.

00:32:26.000 And soon we'll learn all about them and who they were in life.

00:32:29.000 But all we know right now is that they are dead and a 21-year-old white man with a gun killed them.

00:32:34.000 We saw it coming.

00:32:36.000 We see these things happening.

00:32:39.000 I mean, I'm so done with this.

00:32:40.000 Trevor Noah, where were you two weeks ago when a black man killed an Asian immigrant in San Francisco?

00:32:47.000 Did you even cover that? 0.89

00:32:49.000 He was profiled for his Asian American race by a black man.

00:32:55.000 Do you know that most of the anti-Asian American hatred in the country has been black on Asian American, almost all of it?

00:33:02.000 So this is the latest in the narrative that they're trying to push.

00:33:06.000 But the vast majority of all these conflicts, according to The Guardian, according to the BBC, according to The Washington Post, has been black on Asian American.

00:33:14.000 But Trevor Noah, that doesn't fit your narrative, does it?

00:33:17.000 And by the way, there is no evidence, and there might be evidence that presents itself, but there is no evidence to show that this was racially motivated. 0.71

00:33:26.000 One more tape of Trevor Noah making a fool of himself, Cut 80.

00:33:29.000 Why are people so invested in solving the symptoms instead of the cause? 0.84

00:33:35.000 America does this time and time again.

00:33:38.000 A country that wants to fight the symptoms and not the underlying conditions that cause those symptoms to take effect.

00:33:46.000 Racism, misogyny, gun violence, mental illness.

00:33:49.000 And honestly, this incident might have been all of those things combined because it doesn't have to be one thing on its own.

00:33:54.000 America has a rich tapestry of mass shooting motivations.

00:33:57.000 Yeah, you know, like the 727 black-on-black murders that have happened in Chicago the last couple of years.

00:34:02.000 Where have you been on that, Trevor Noah?

00:34:04.000 700-plus black people have been killed by other black people in Chicago in the last couple of years.

00:34:10.000 Cut 81, the officer debunks everything Trevor Noah says.

00:34:13.000 Remember, Trevor Noah is supposed to be a comedian.

00:34:15.000 Play tape.

00:34:16.000 The suspect did take responsibility for the shootings.

00:34:20.000 He stood that early on once we began the interviews with him.

00:34:25.000 He claims that these, and as the chief said, this is still early, but he does claim that it was not racially motivated.

00:34:32.000 He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex eviction, and sees these locations as something that allows him to go to these places.

00:34:43.000 And it's a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate.

00:34:46.000 So the activist media is quick to hyper-racialize all of this, yet they were silent when a 75-year-old Asian man, part of this trend of anti-Asian violence, was murdered in Oakland's Chinatown by a black man.

00:35:01.000 Now, the activist media didn't hyperly racialize that, but they're quick to racialize this.

00:35:09.000 This Asian man was killed by Keonti Bailey.

00:35:15.000 And yet there was complete and total silence.

00:35:17.000 Nothing.

00:35:18.000 You see, the skin color, when it comes to these sorts of things, is irrelevant to me. 1.00

00:35:23.000 A crime is a crime. 1.00

00:35:24.000 Death is a tragedy.

00:35:25.000 Murder must be met with the full force of the American legal system.

00:35:30.000 But the moment that the people that are tasked with communicating to you about what is happening start to act as if this is simply and solely an act of white supremacy, like Trevor Noah does or the New York Times does, they are lying to you.

00:35:47.000 And it will only further bring us into the race war that they so desire.
