The Charlie Kirk Show - Exposing the Racists Running our Companies

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, on this episode, we expose the racists running our companies and our corporations.

00:00:06.000 Coca-Cola has decided to go woke, which may mean they might go broke.

00:00:11.000 I dissect the language of critical race theory.

00:00:14.000 And for every parent and student out there, this is one of the most important episodes we've done in recent memory to dissect what your children are learning, what you might be learning if you're in college from your professor or in high school from your teachers.

00:00:25.000 It's very important to understand the philosophy, the intent, and the goal of the people that are pushing for this.

00:00:32.000 If you want to support us and the work we are doing, go to charliekirk.com/slash support.

00:00:38.000 Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:41.000 And if you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, if you are compelled to act on what we are saying, go to turning pointusa, tpusa.com, start a chapter, get engaged, get involved at Turning Point USA.

00:00:53.000 We expose the racists running our country and the corporations.

00:00:56.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:57.000 Here we go.

00:00:58.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:00.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:01:02.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:06.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:09.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:10.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:11.000 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.

00:01:20.000 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.

00:01:28.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:32.000 Last year, hundreds of you, that's right, my listeners took my advice and did something very wise, very smart.

00:01:40.000 You guys went to PeerTalk.

00:01:42.000 If you're with ATT, Verizon, or T-Mobile, your family could save over $800 a year just by switching to PeerTalk same service.

00:01:50.000 You get the same great coverage because they use the exact same towers, but save you a fortune because they don't have all this overhead.

00:01:56.000 By the way, PeerTalk is the top-rated wireless company by Consumer Affairs with the absolute best customer service team based right here in America.

00:02:04.000 That's right, based in America.

00:02:06.000 Sounds good. 0.99

00:02:07.000 It gets better.

00:02:07.000 Right now, get unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data for just $30 a month.

00:02:12.000 And if you don't go over on data, they never charge you for it.

00:02:14.000 From your cell phone, dial pound250 and say Charlie Kirk right now to save 50% off your first month.

00:02:20.000 That's pound 250.

00:02:22.000 Say Charlie Kirk.

00:02:23.000 Peer Talk is simply smarter wireless.

00:02:28.000 I'm going to get to a story here that has been heating up the last couple of days. 0.68

00:02:35.000 Who would have ever thought that Coca-Cola was going to re-embrace KKK roots in Georgia?

00:02:41.000 Coca-Cola has now decided to be a heavily and explicitly racist company, promoting some would call anti-white rhetoric.

00:02:53.000 And I would agree with that.

00:02:55.000 So they had a series of lectures that was put on by Robin D'Angelo to try and make the workplace more inclusive.

00:03:07.000 It started with confronting racism, understanding what it means to be white, challenging what it means to be racist.

00:03:16.000 It continues by saying in Coca-Cola, to be less white is to be less oppressive, be less arrogant, be less certain, be less defensive, be less ignorant, be more humble, listen, believe, break with apathy, and break with white solidarity.

00:03:34.000 This is what Coca-Cola thinks of white people. 0.72

00:03:37.000 This is what a publicly traded company thinks of white people.

00:03:43.000 So let's just begin with what their viewpoint is. 0.78

00:03:47.000 They believe that only white people can be racist.

00:03:50.000 They don't believe black people can be racist. 0.93

00:03:52.000 They don't believe Hispanic people can be racist. 0.50

00:03:54.000 They don't think Asian people can be racist.

00:03:56.000 They believe racism Is a power struggle, whites against everyone else.

00:04:03.000 White colonialist supremacist society versus everyone else.

00:04:09.000 As James Lindsay says in Cynical Theories, they think racism is the ordinary state.

00:04:16.000 They believe that there is no course of action except mass societal revolution that could undo the racism all around us.

00:04:27.000 Everything you see, everything you touch, everything you hear, everything you do is baked and laced with racism. 0.99

00:04:38.000 So Coca-Cola believes, a publicly traded company, that white people, or to be white, means to be ignorant, defensive, arrogant, and oppressive. 1.00

00:04:56.000 No nuance at all whatsoever, but an entire race of people with something they cannot control, their skin color, necessarily means that they are ignorant, arrogant, and oppressive. 0.99

00:05:11.000 This is Coca-Cola's own learning seminar. 0.99

00:05:15.000 Could you imagine if any company said that about black people, they would be correctly repudiated, rejected, and forced to explain it.

00:05:28.000 But if you change one word from white to black or black to white, all of a sudden you are not racist.

00:05:35.000 You are woke.

00:05:38.000 You're enlightened.

00:05:40.000 You're considered to be appropriately liberal.

00:05:46.000 I don't want to say liberal, that's not the right term, but radical.

00:05:49.000 That's a better term. 0.90

00:05:51.000 So Coca-Cola brings in Robin D'Angelo, the racist. 0.80

00:05:57.000 Robin DiAngelo would have been a great KKK leader.

00:06:01.000 She would have been a phenomenal Southern segregationist.

00:06:04.000 I've never seen anyone care as much about skin color since David Duke was running the KKK.

00:06:10.000 And I don't say this lightly, by the way, and I don't say it sarcastically, and I don't say it for humorous intent.

00:06:16.000 I say it seriously and literally. 0.58

00:06:19.000 The woke Democrat Party and Coca-Cola alongside of it are just as racist, if not more racist, than the KKK and the Southern Democrat roots that they're trying to re-embrace.

00:06:34.000 It's this simple. 0.99

00:06:35.000 If you care about skin color, you're a racist. 0.99

00:06:39.000 If you care about skin color to a degree that you categorize an entire group of people as being ignorant, arrogant, and oppressive based just on how they look, something they cannot control, not caring about human agency, not caring about human action, not at all caring about their character, their spirit, or their soul, then you are a racist. 0.91

00:07:09.000 And that is the new Democrat Party, that is the woke ideology that has infected every single corner of American society, where we actually made the appropriate amount of societal and racial progress, where we reached a place where your actions truly could be measured by your outputs.

00:07:30.000 Your output, I should say, would be directly correlated to your actions.

00:07:36.000 That the people that wished to usher in private property abolition, religious freedom getting put away, they needed a new rallying cry.

00:07:47.000 They needed a new ideology to convince people That's what you are seeing around you must be destroyed.

00:07:59.000 And that was and is a racist school of thought in critical theory.

00:08:05.000 Thank you, Herbert Marcuse from the Frankfurt School, called critical race theory.

00:08:12.000 Coca-Cola continues by saying: In the United States and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white.

00:08:24.000 This is a complete lie by Robin DiAngelo.

00:08:27.000 No data, no evidence whatsoever.

00:08:31.000 Robin DiAngelo, with Coca-Cola as her corporate sponsor, says, Research shows that by age three to four, children understand that it is better to be white.

00:08:41.000 What does being white mean to Robin D'Angelo?

00:08:46.000 If Robin D'Angelo believes that working hard and showing up on time, acting ethically in Judeo-Christian values, means being white, then she's a white supremacist. 0.73

00:09:02.000 The Coca-Cola presentation ends with try to be less white.

00:09:08.000 Now, as I am watching, as I'm looking at this screenshot, there's a Coca-Cola logo in the upper right-hand corner as they probably paid Robin DiAngelo an exorbitant speaking fee to come give a presentation on all of this.

00:09:21.000 And you can even check this out on LinkedIn by Robin DiAngelo, who is guilt-ridden for whatever reason, on a presentation called Confronting Racism.

00:09:33.000 Getting race on the table is her first thing.

00:09:36.000 Understanding what it means to be white, challenging what it means to be racist, then acknowledging racial resentment, thinking critically about our words and actions, a thoughtful approach to educating ourselves about racism, what you can do, and keeping the work going within our organizations.

00:09:53.000 Robin DiAngelo continues by saying, and she's paid to do this for Coca-Cola.

00:09:57.000 It's fair to say that America has spent its entire history in a difficult conversation about race.

00:10:01.000 No, it hasn't.

00:10:02.000 What are you talking about?

00:10:04.000 Our entire history?

00:10:05.000 I grew up in an America with a 53% English as a second language, majority Hispanic high school, and no one cared about each other's race.

00:10:11.000 We cared about your character.

00:10:13.000 We cared about if you were a good person.

00:10:16.000 Robin DiAngelo continues by saying, and around the world, nations everywhere have joined the discussion.

00:10:22.000 Really?

00:10:22.000 Has China joined the discussion about race?

00:10:26.000 Has Russia joined the discussion about race?

00:10:30.000 In recent decades, this has manifested as a series of direct challenges to systemic racism, which doesn't exist.

00:10:35.000 It's a lie.

00:10:36.000 It's like Narnia.

00:10:37.000 It doesn't exist.

00:10:38.000 You can keep looking for it.

00:10:39.000 You'll never find it. 0.95

00:10:41.000 An inequality that addresses the effects of white privilege, a bitter racist lie.

00:10:46.000 The relative immunity white people, people of European origin, enjoy relative to the challenges people of color face.

00:10:53.000 So I can trace the Kirk side of my family back to the 1630s in this country, some of the original settlers in America.

00:11:03.000 What does that have to do with me?

00:11:06.000 Am I an independent person of that?

00:11:08.000 Or is there some sort of intergenerational mystical connection that she argues between their actions and my actions?

00:11:18.000 And if that is true, then what about white people such as myself, who have ancestors that fought in the American Civil War on the union side?

00:11:32.000 What does she have to say about that?

00:11:36.000 So this is Coca-Cola, publicly traded company, not just teaching our children, but teaching the graduates of the colleges.

00:11:43.000 How did this happen?

00:11:44.000 We sent way too many kids to college.

00:11:46.000 They learned these awful ideas and they filled these corporate boardrooms.

00:11:52.000 Look, I want to tell you guys about Legacy Box.

00:13:36.000 We got an email here from a listener who listens to our Ask Me Anything episode, Amy from Oregon, because we've been warning about how critical race theory is spreading the country at times, even quicker than the virus.

00:13:47.000 And it's true.

00:13:49.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:13:49.000 Thanks for all you do for our country.

00:13:50.000 I'm in Oregon and have kids in high school, and we are seriously looking to move to Texas.

00:13:55.000 Our governor is one of the worst, which, as you know, you've mentioned on your podcast a few times.

00:14:00.000 It's true.

00:14:01.000 I was listening to your Amy AMA this morning, and you were talking about the Illinois State School Board of Education.

00:14:08.000 Well, last week it came out here in Oregon that our teachers are now supposed to recognize how math is a form of white supremacy.

00:14:15.000 One plus one equals two, racist, and shows that, quote, worship of the written word.

00:14:22.000 There should no longer be right and wrong as it is a form of white privilege being forced onto kids.

00:14:27.000 The idea of right and wrong, the idea of character development, the idea of ethics, all of it is an idea of white privilege.

00:14:33.000 This is in our schools, in our police departments, in our military.

00:14:38.000 I'm sure you can find stuff on it.

00:14:40.000 They are calling it a training for teachers, the pathway from math to math equity.

00:14:45.000 Last time I checked, math is objective and has to be exact.

00:14:49.000 See, they don't believe that.

00:14:50.000 They don't believe that rational thinking and reason is something that we should consider as objective.

00:14:59.000 You see, it's a very interesting part of your email, Amy.

00:15:03.000 You say it shows worship of the written word.

00:15:06.000 One of the ideas of critical race theory, one of the things that Christine Kane, a Christian, she had this discussion with this racist last summer about how every culture had different ways of communicating their values.

00:15:23.000 And in Western culture, we just tend to write things down.

00:15:28.000 That is the Hebrews from the people of Israel to obviously the New Testament when the formation of Christianity, the idea of the written centralized canon was very, very important, where the critical race theorists would argue, well, in Africa, they didn't write things down.

00:15:46.000 It was oral tradition.

00:15:48.000 This is very, very deceiving because the Jewish people also had oral tradition as well.

00:15:54.000 It just wasn't considered to be as high a threshold of God's spoken word.

00:15:58.000 You write things down for a reason so that they cannot be challenged in the future, henceforth, the idea of objectivity and irrefutable truth or agreed-upon truth.

00:16:07.000 And so, in the new organ curriculum, which is similar to the Illinois State Board of Education curriculum, it says that you must not worship the written word.

00:16:16.000 And so, the idea of math, the idea of science, but math is probably even an easier one, where you have the objective agreed-upon pursuit of truth, or at least something that you can all say, yes.

00:16:30.000 Two plus two equals four, five plus five equals ten.

00:16:33.000 It's pretty easy.

00:16:34.000 They say, no, no, no, no, that's your perspective.

00:16:37.000 Even though you can say what the terms mean, and you can show very simply that if you have five pencils plus five pencils, it equals ten, the critical race theorists say that's a white supremacist practice that you are using, and it's been used against brown people and people of color. 0.51

00:16:56.000 Now, if this sign, if this sounds asinine and it sounds dangerous, it is, but it's widespread.

00:17:03.000 And quite honestly, not enough people are pushing back against it because the academics have laced this radicalism under this nice-sounding descriptor of the entire country being limitlessly racist.

00:17:21.000 So, Robin DiAngelo gets paid massive sums of money to teach people that work for massive corporations how racist they are.

00:17:31.000 So, in this course at LinkedIn Learning, which is a Microsoft company, GoFigure, it says Robin DiAngelo, the best-selling author of White Fragility, gives you the vocabulary and practices you need to start confronting racism and unconscious bias at the individual level and throughout your organization.

00:17:48.000 By the way, just so we're clear, no one has ever been able to objectively prove unconscious bias.

00:17:54.000 Never.

00:17:55.000 It is speculative, and it has never been proven scientifically or clinically ever.

00:18:02.000 There's no magic recipe for building an inclusive workplace.

00:18:06.000 It's a process that needs to involve people of color and that needs to go on for as long as your company's in business.

00:18:12.000 Oh, what a great business model Robin DiAngelo has. 1.00

00:18:15.000 It's a problem that is going to destroy your company, destroy our world, destroy our civilization, and it's going to go on forever.

00:18:21.000 So, keep hiring me to lecture for you every year.

00:18:23.000 It's a wonderful business model when you think about it.

00:18:26.000 She has figured out the eternal tree of guilt.

00:18:30.000 Robin DiAngelo has figured out a business model where she offers no solutions.

00:18:36.000 She offers an eternal problem, and she's the only one that can communicate it. 0.77

00:18:41.000 And if you don't hire her, you're a racist.

00:18:44.000 But with these tools at your disposal, you'll be well on your way.

00:18:48.000 So, you'll never solve the problem, but at least you'll start the long, never-ending journey of atoning for your sin that you can't articulate.

00:18:57.000 Here's an email we got: hey, Charlie, currently listening to your radio show.

00:19:00.000 Thank you.

00:19:01.000 Assuming that someone lives in Illinois, can parents pull their kids out of public school and homeschool their children and avoid the critical race theory?

00:19:08.000 That's the only way, because many private schools are going to go this way as well.

00:19:14.000 We've been going through the Robin DiAngelo course at Coca-Cola, publicly traded company out of Atlanta, Georgia.

00:19:22.000 I've repeated that for a couple times, the publicly traded company aspect of it, because this is not some sort of fringe group that is embracing this.

00:19:31.000 This is not some unsubstantiated speculation that we are making.

00:19:39.000 In fact, there is some sound here I want to make from James Lindsay, who is the best on this, by the way.

00:19:43.000 James Lindsay is phenomenal.

00:19:46.000 Cut 15, Washington State Equity Task Force in November 2019 on critical race theory, being on time in to-do lists.

00:19:54.000 This is before the pandemic, is racist.

00:19:57.000 I actually haven't listened to this clip in quite some time, so we'll play tape and I'll do my best reacting to it.

00:20:01.000 Play tape. 0.91

00:20:02.000 Most white people and Europeans are about agendas and to-do lists and tasks. 1.00

00:20:07.000 And oh, we have 30 minutes for this and oh, time to move on. 1.00

00:20:11.000 Where many people of color maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't. 0.98

00:20:16.000 In South Africa, if we were meeting right here, 235, if Craig Bill walked in right now in South Africa, what would happen is they would stop, welcome him. 0.97

00:20:27.000 How was your weekend?

00:20:29.000 You had any plans for Thanksgiving?

00:20:31.000 And would bring him up to speed on what he missed.

00:20:35.000 Wow.

00:20:36.000 She proved my point. 1.00

00:20:38.000 She's an unbelievably racist person. 1.00

00:20:40.000 This is Karen Johnson, task force member on health disparities. 0.99

00:20:44.000 So she's making my point.

00:20:46.000 And look, I've said this before and it's provocative, but I don't really care.

00:20:50.000 All men are created equal by God.

00:20:53.000 Equality under the law and equality under the Lord. 1.00

00:20:56.000 Not all cultures are equal. 1.00

00:20:58.000 They're not. 1.00

00:20:59.000 The American culture is not equal to the Iranian culture. 1.00

00:21:02.000 It's not. 0.99

00:21:03.000 We do not throw homosexuals or gay people off the top of roofs. 0.93

00:21:08.000 You can speak freely and dissent against our leaders. 0.92

00:21:12.000 Western society and our constitutional republic is not the same.

00:21:17.000 This kind of cultural relativism.

00:21:20.000 Let me make another, let me just, let me make another one that's not talked about enough.

00:21:24.000 America is a more moral country than China. 0.84

00:21:28.000 Not every culture is made the same because cultures are made by people.

00:21:33.000 What makes American culture different, what makes Western society different, it's inspired from the word of God, mixed with human reason, which is a gift from God, according to Thomas Aquinas.

00:21:44.000 And I completely agree.

00:21:46.000 So Karen Johnson, I want to play this tape again because I was kind of figuring something out here.

00:21:51.000 I was plugging in something so I could keep on live streaming.

00:21:54.000 She says this.

00:21:54.000 She says that white people and Europeans, by the way, I have no connection to Europe except for the fact that my family came from Europe 400 years ago.

00:22:04.000 No connection.

00:22:06.000 So unless she's trying to make some sort of ethno-racist argument that your character means nothing and your DNA means everything, then that is a conversation that you should not want to have because it is evil.

00:22:19.000 You should stay away from conversations like that, Karen Johnson.

00:22:23.000 And then she says, well, if we were in South Africa, we'd have this long conversation with no time and no to-do lists.

00:22:30.000 Yeah, you're probably right.

00:22:32.000 Why do you think the Western economies are more efficient and do better?

00:22:36.000 Well, because of market-driven principles that were discovered, not created by Adam Smith.

00:22:41.000 And the idea of private property that comes go all the way back to Abraham buying Hebron to bury his children and grandchildren.

00:22:52.000 You can actually visit it still in Israel.

00:22:55.000 Anyway, why is that significant?

00:22:57.000 He bought the land.

00:22:58.000 He didn't conquer it.

00:22:58.000 He didn't take it.

00:22:59.000 He didn't say it's mine.

00:23:00.000 He bought it, private property.

00:23:02.000 Private property matters.

00:23:04.000 Why?

00:23:05.000 You're able to enjoy the fruits of your labor, your ingenuity, the hours you put in.

00:23:10.000 Well, then when you have private property, you have competition.

00:23:13.000 When you have competition, things improve.

00:23:16.000 So Karen Johnson is critiquing Western society, saying, everyone in the West, oh, you white people, literally what she says, you have your to-do list.

00:23:23.000 You're in such a rush to get things done.

00:23:25.000 Why do you think that is?

00:23:27.000 Because a wealthy, vibrant, productive society requires efficiency, not being a sloth, not being lazy.

00:23:37.000 So the Bible clearly says that when you are sedentary, man does not work.

00:23:44.000 He does not eat.

00:23:45.000 It's a proverb.

00:23:46.000 Paul restated it in the New Testament.

00:23:48.000 That idea of applying what God has given to you to produce, go forth and multiply, occupy till I come, is a biblical idea.

00:23:57.000 So Karen Johnson's real complaint is with the word of God.

00:24:00.000 And I'm not trying to overly religionize this.

00:24:02.000 Some of you watching might not believe the same religious beliefs I have, but you cannot argue where it came from.

00:24:08.000 That's the point. 0.80

00:24:10.000 But Karen Johnson is critiquing Western culture, and she's almost glorifying.

00:24:14.000 And by the way, there might be some good to South African culture, what she's saying, that all of a sudden she asks, how is your weekend?

00:24:21.000 How is this?

00:24:22.000 And all of a sudden you lose 45 minutes.

00:24:25.000 Western culture, and I think this is a very good thing.

00:24:27.000 I think we can slow things down at times, but that's what the idea of liberty is.

00:24:31.000 You have the liberty to act as you wish.

00:24:33.000 For example, Karen Johnson would love Amish culture.

00:24:37.000 She would.

00:24:38.000 Amish culture is a critique voluntarily of Western neoliberal capitalist systems. 0.77

00:24:47.000 So what does the Amish culture do?

00:24:50.000 They live communally. 1.00

00:24:51.000 They live off the grid.

00:24:53.000 They make their own food.

00:24:54.000 Most of the time, they have their own set of values, their own ethics.

00:24:57.000 They choose to have medical freedom.

00:25:01.000 And they can do that under the system of liberty.

00:25:03.000 You see, the fallacy in Karen Johnson's argument here that I just played from Seattle or some crazy thing is you don't have to subscribe to Western culture, even if you're in the West.

00:25:16.000 That's a beautiful thing about liberty.

00:25:17.000 You can go live communally in the woods, in the desert, if you so choose.

00:25:23.000 I want you to play this again. 0.56

00:25:24.000 This is some woman who's a task force member on the Governor's Interagency Council on Health Disparities. 0.99

00:25:32.000 She can only believe something as foolish as this because she went to a university. 0.98

00:25:38.000 When you naturally go about your life, there's no way you could believe something as foolish, lacking wisdom, as what Karen Johnson believes. 0.99

00:25:47.000 Play tape. 0.99

00:25:48.000 Most white people and Europeans are about agendas and to-do lists and tasks. 0.99

00:25:53.000 And, oh, we have 30 minutes for this and oh, time to move on. 1.00

00:25:57.000 Where many people of color, maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't. 0.99

00:26:03.000 In South Africa, if we were meeting right here at 2:35, if Craig Bill walked in right now in South Africa, what would happen is they would stop, welcome him. 1.00

00:26:14.000 How was your weekend?

00:26:15.000 You already plans for Thanksgiving and would bring him up to speed on what he missed.

00:26:21.000 So she's almost criticizing how the West views time.

00:26:25.000 This is a deeper point I could go on endlessly for this.

00:26:29.000 Where does time come from?

00:26:30.000 Why does time matter?

00:26:32.000 So certain, she's correct.

00:26:33.000 Certain civilizations do not value time like the West does.

00:26:37.000 Do you notice what we have an oversurplus in our society of?

00:26:43.000 Clocks.

00:26:44.000 Everyone wants to know what time is it?

00:26:46.000 Why?

00:26:46.000 What's happening?

00:26:47.000 Well, you go all the way back.

00:26:48.000 Who created time?

00:26:51.000 Time is created by God.

00:26:53.000 He created the separation of days.

00:26:56.000 Time is very valuable.

00:27:00.000 When you believe there's a mandate to multiply, therefore you know you have a limited amount of what?

00:27:06.000 Time.

00:27:07.000 So Karen Johnson is arguing, well, this idea of 30 minutes for this and 30 minutes for that, well, maybe there's a reason for that. 0.98

00:27:13.000 Maybe you want to create a maximum maybe you want to create a space.

00:27:17.000 Maybe you want to create a framework not to waste what God has given you.

00:27:23.000 That's exactly the idea of time and why it's so important in Western culture.

00:27:27.000 Now, do we overdo it?

00:27:28.000 I think we can.

00:27:29.000 I think that there might be a valid critique of that.

00:27:33.000 Do I think we don't spend enough time on certain things, like with family, like with church?

00:27:37.000 Absolutely.

00:27:38.000 But the broad societal indictment that Karen Johnson is saying, and by the way, try to say this. 1.00

00:27:45.000 She is the most stereotyping I've ever seen.

00:27:48.000 She says, you know, all you white people, well, if you want to end stereotyping, then why don't you end stereotyping?

00:27:57.000 And this belief, and I've gone deeper into it than I think I have in actually any other radio show or podcast.

00:28:04.000 So I think it's important to just the things that we take for granted, such as time and private property and markets and trading.

00:28:10.000 It didn't just happen by accident.

00:28:11.000 It's not an act of randomness.

00:28:13.000 Even an honest atheist would agree with me that there is a point of origination and a tradition, and then it becomes normalized.

00:28:22.000 And we don't ever take the time to look backwards and say, where did that come from?

00:28:26.000 And maybe it's important to stay anchored or rooted from the place it came from.

00:28:30.000 And now Ed Markey, who's, I think, a senator from Massachusetts, who successfully beat a Kennedy, which I do appreciate because I'm not a fan, said that we need racial justice in vaccines.

00:28:39.000 Ed Markey is running for the, and this is sarcasm, media matters, okay?

00:28:45.000 He's running for the Northeast chapter of the KKK to believe something that race actually matters.

00:28:50.000 Play Cut 16.

00:28:51.000 Right from the onset of the pandemic, the black, the Latinx, the indigenous communities, immigrant communities have suffered a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 cases and deaths.

00:29:06.000 Racial justice, and that means healthcare justice, environmental justice, and economic justice must be our number one priority as we combat the ongoing pandemic.

00:29:18.000 And that includes vaccine distribution.

00:29:21.000 So he wants vaccines to be distributed based on skin color.

00:29:25.000 A very racist thing to believe.

00:29:28.000 Wouldn't expect anything else from Democrats.

00:29:30.000 What about this whole thing of environmental justice and racial justice?

00:29:33.000 It sounds nice, right?

00:29:35.000 That you must favor justice for one person or the other.

00:29:37.000 There is a teaching in Leviticus that you should never favor justice, even with a rich man or a poor man in court.

00:29:46.000 That justice must be what?

00:29:48.000 Blind.

00:29:48.000 What an idea.

00:29:52.000 In our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.

00:29:54.000 At least it used to be.

00:29:56.000 At thinker.org, they summarize the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you an access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.

00:30:04.000 Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, from old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.

00:30:13.000 I've used Thinker.

00:30:14.000 I use it almost every single day to digest big ideas quickly and easy to understand.

00:30:19.000 So if you want to challenge your preconceptions, learn something new every day, expand your horizons, and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org.

00:30:26.000 That's T-H-I-N-K-R.org to start a free trial today.

00:30:29.000 Again, that's thinker.org.

00:30:33.000 I'm going to get to Senator Tom Cotton.

00:30:35.000 He's a friend of mine.

00:30:37.000 He's very courageous.

00:30:39.000 Don't agree with him on everything.

00:30:40.000 There are a couple of things that I didn't see eye to eye with him recently.

00:30:43.000 However, I always defended him as an honorable and honest person.

00:30:46.000 And I would say that straight to his face.

00:30:48.000 He's been very, very good to me.

00:30:50.000 I have not seen this clip yet, so we'll react together.

00:30:52.000 Play tape.

00:30:53.000 Yes, I think discrimination is morally wrong.

00:30:56.000 Absolutely.

00:30:56.000 You're aware that President Biden has signed an executive order stating that his administration will affirmatively advance racial equity, not racial equality, but racial equity.

00:31:06.000 Yes, and I read the opening of that executive order, which defines equity as the fair and impartial treatment of every person without regard to their status, and including the individuals who have been in underserved communities where they were not accorded that before.

00:31:32.000 But I don't see any distinction between in that regard.

00:31:37.000 That's the definition that was included in that executive order that you're talking about.

00:31:41.000 But that's not the definition that is used by liberals, Democrats, and civil service bureaucrats.

00:31:46.000 Equity is not what you might think it is.

00:31:50.000 You might think it's, well, it's the quality of being fair and impartial.

00:31:54.000 No, they mean equity by massive redistribution.

00:31:57.000 They mean equity by changing the entire system to punish one group of people to favor another.

00:32:05.000 Equality under the law is moral.

00:32:07.000 Equality of a starting point is admirable, but difficult.

00:32:11.000 Equality of outcome, which equity really means, is immoral.

00:32:15.000 And it's wrong.

00:32:16.000 So I'm glad that Senator Tom Cotton asked Merrick Garland that question.

00:32:21.000 But even more of a pointed question should be, why is it that the Biden administration cares about the color of people's skin?

00:32:30.000 And don't give me this nonsense about how there are certain groups of people that are poorer than others based solely on skin color.

00:32:36.000 If you take skin color out of the equation and you just look at fatherlessness in this country, that is the true metric.

00:32:43.000 So what could be blamed for fatherlessness on fatherlessness is somehow blamed on racism.

00:32:48.000 Thomas Sowell is the leading thinker on this.

00:32:51.000 In fact, I need to reread discrimination and disparities.

00:32:55.000 It's been a couple years.

00:32:56.000 Where basically his guiding thesis is do not blame outcomes on racism if it could be blamed on human action and human choices.

00:33:08.000 You see, the blanket retreat to racism or blaming things on racism is lazy, sloppy, dangerous, and easy.

00:33:16.000 It's easy to do that.

00:33:18.000 Blame everything on racism.

00:33:20.000 It removes responsibility for one's actions.

00:33:25.000 It removes accountability.

00:33:29.000 If you come from the critical race theory standpoint, which our children are learning right now, as I do this broadcast, millions of children are learning critical race theory.

00:33:36.000 What are you doing about it?

00:33:37.000 Most people aren't doing anything.

00:33:40.000 And the critical race theory believes, and they teach to young children, you don't actually have to be responsible for what you do.

00:33:47.000 If you steal your friend's backpack, if you take their iPhone, if you beat them up, if you call them a bad name, if you act improperly, you do not have to be responsible for that action.

00:33:58.000 Because in reality, you're being manipulated by the masters of a white supremacist racist construct.

00:34:06.000 What the postmodernists, the critical race theorists, and the proponents of everything is racist philosophy, the real divide goes back to what I've been talking about on college campuses at Turning Point USA for years, which is victor versus victim.

00:34:20.000 Are you going to take responsibility for your actions?

00:34:23.000 And if not, why are you blaming somebody else?

00:34:27.000 That's really what it comes down to.

00:34:30.000 And the Democrats and the left, they want to subsidize, they want to underwrite the oppression Olympics, people that are blaming others for their problems.

00:34:40.000 It's harder to be a conservative.

00:34:41.000 It's harder to look inside and say, I'm going to improve my actions.

00:34:44.000 I'm going to apply myself.

00:34:46.000 It's more tempting.

00:34:47.000 It's easier to blame the external world.
