00:01:54.000 All right.

00:01:54.000 This panel right here is going to be one of the most important of the entire conference.

00:01:58.000 We have two of my really good friends, Dr. James Lindsay and Alex Marlow from Breitbart, wonderful website.

00:02:03.000 All about, we're going to talk about critical race theory.

00:02:07.000 We're going to talk about cultural Marxism, wokeism, diversity, equity, inclusion.

00:02:11.000 And if we have time, we'll get to some other stuff.

00:02:13.000 Charlie, can I say something before we start?

00:02:16.000 Because I'm on the stage with one of the internet's most legendary man spreaders, Dr. James Lindsay.

00:02:24.000 Am I allowed to sit like this or do I have to do this one?

00:02:29.000 Is this better?

00:02:30.000 That is better.

00:02:31.000 Okay.

00:02:32.000 So, Dr. Lindsay, James, welcome.

00:02:36.000 You don't call yourself a conservative.

00:02:39.000 It really doesn't matter.

00:02:39.000 You're super smart and a good person, but you're really based.

00:02:43.000 What is critical race theory and cultural Marxism?

00:02:46.000 And does it pose an existential threat to our country?

00:02:50.000 Yeah, it's the end of the country if we keep letting it go.

00:02:53.000 That's the simple truth.

00:02:55.000 So critical race theory is the belief that racism organizes our society at a fundamental level.

00:03:01.000 Racism benefits white people. 0.76

00:03:02.000 And the most important thing you really need to know about critical race theory is it's calling everything that you want to control racist until you control it.

00:03:10.000 And it's a total trick.

00:03:12.000 You let this happen, they take over everything.

00:03:14.000 It's the end of the country.

00:03:16.000 Well, that's straight to the point.

00:03:18.000 So where did this come from?

00:03:20.000 And because I know a lot of parents out here and a lot of students are super confused because they say, how did this happen so suddenly?

00:03:28.000 You could go to the historical roots.

00:03:30.000 Your book is amazing, cynical theories.

00:03:32.000 But talk about like, how did it come onto the scene so quickly, Alex and then James.

00:03:36.000 Yeah, I'll address this and Dr. Lindsay can school me if I get anything wrong here.

00:03:40.000 But I think it sort of originates with a guy named Gramsci, who was an Italian.

00:03:46.000 And he predated this thing called the Frankfurt School, which a lot of people talk about.

00:03:49.000 Andrew Reipart wrote about it about 10, 12 years ago.

00:03:53.000 And these were people who were Marxists in the sense that they liked the ends of what Marx wanted, but they didn't believe Marx understood the means.

00:04:03.000 They didn't think that ultimately that the proletariat was going to rise up and actually take back the country from the bourgeois.

00:04:13.000 So what they did is it dawned on them, particularly in America, because a lot of these people at Frankfurt School came to particularly Southern California and they were totally miserable.

00:04:22.000 They came to the United States from Germany and they thought this is a terrible place and they had a terrible time here.

00:04:28.000 And what they noticed, though, is that the people, the populace, they kind of like their traditions.

00:04:35.000 So how are they going to get people to rise up and overthrow the bourgeoisie?

00:04:40.000 Well, they thought economics was not deterministic in the end.

00:04:45.000 Culture was deterministic.

00:04:46.000 So what they needed to do is to take over our core institutions and convince people that Marxism is the ideal and the goal is communism.

00:04:56.000 And you don't do that by convincing people to rise up against the rich.

00:05:01.000 You do it by convincing them via their cultural institutions.

00:05:04.000 And now today they're corporations.

00:05:06.000 I think that's basically in a nutshell.

00:05:08.000 And I think we're seeing it across the board in this country right now.

00:05:11.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:05:13.000 And what we're seeing is the end of a 100-year-long process.

00:05:17.000 Gramsci was working in the 1910s and early 1920s.

00:05:20.000 They threw him in prison in 1926.

00:05:22.000 So we're seeing the end of a very long process.

00:05:25.000 So the way that it comes on so quickly is very slowly than all at once.

00:05:29.000 And so by 1970, a lot of people don't know this, the National Education Association was already funding books called things like white awareness, racism and education, et cetera, and putting these things out.

00:05:41.000 This kind of information has been creeping into the schools in particular as far as the cultural institutions Gramsci wanted to take over.

00:05:47.000 Those are, by the way, religion, family, education, media, and law were the five targets that he laid out.

00:05:54.000 They started creeping into education very strongly by 1970.

00:05:58.000 They more or less had education by the early 1980s.

00:06:01.000 And so if you seed education, you seed all of the professionals, all the future leaders of the country, and you can start to break things down.

00:06:10.000 50 years down that track, you've got three generations of teachers, three, four generations of students, and you can snap it just like that.

00:06:17.000 So James, let me ask you.

00:06:20.000 You know, we talked earlier about how at over 75 schools across the country, they have black-only dormitories.

00:06:27.000 Let me say that again.

00:06:28.000 The new thing is having black-only racially segregated dormitories.

00:06:32.000 At Columbia University, they have black-only graduation ceremonies.

00:06:37.000 In Georgia public schools in downtown Atlanta, sixth grade black kids go to one classroom, sixth grade white kids go to another classroom.

00:06:45.000 In Denver public schools, they have black-only playground time where families of color are allowed to play and white families are not.

00:06:56.000 What is the thought process of resegregation for just the common man that's watching this right now that isn't into the heady philosophical stuff?

00:07:04.000 Can you please unpack how we are now resegregating American society?

00:07:09.000 It's actually real simple.

00:07:10.000 What I said before was that critical race theory boils down to the belief that racism that benefits white people is the fundamental organizing principle of society.

00:07:18.000 So all of society is built off of racism.

00:07:20.000 Racism's everywhere.

00:07:21.000 Racism is exactly the thing that makes life what it is in our society.

00:07:27.000 And so what they're trying to use as a justification is that they say that people who are racial minorities, in particular blacks, need a space away from that where they can actually be themselves, where they can actually escape the white gaze, as they call it, or the constant pressure to live up to white supremacy.

00:07:44.000 These are real terms. 0.98

00:07:45.000 White gays. 1.00

00:07:46.000 The white gaze. 0.99

00:07:47.000 Gaze with a Z. 0.91

00:07:47.000 I just want to clarify. 0.91

00:07:48.000 I was going to say, like.

00:07:49.000 No, yeah, no, yeah, sorry.

00:07:51.000 G-A-Z-E, like when you look at somebody. 0.99

00:07:54.000 Okay.

00:07:54.000 So let me get this straight.

00:07:57.000 So, and Ibram X. Kendi, otherwise known as Harry Rogers or Henry.

00:08:01.000 I was wrong.

00:08:02.000 Whatever.

00:08:04.000 He says that we need to have discrimination today to try to fix discrimination of yesterday.

00:08:14.000 Can you?

00:08:15.000 Yeah, the exact quote is on page 19 of his wonderful book, How to Be an Anti-Racist.

00:08:19.000 And he says that the exact quote goes that the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.

00:08:26.000 And the only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

00:08:30.000 So it's an explicitly discriminatory program.

00:08:32.000 You can read, for example, also on page three of Critical Race Theory and Introduction by Richard Delgado that he says that the whole point of critical race theory is to call into question the very foundations of the liberal order.

00:08:42.000 And the first thing he mentions is including equality theory.

00:08:46.000 The idea that we're equal, that we were made equal, that we're image bearers of God or whatever, that's out.

00:08:50.000 That's got to go.

00:08:51.000 That's absolutely unacceptable to critical race theory because they want to actually create a situation where people who are considered authentically black, meaning critical race theorists and black at the same time, get all the power.

00:09:06.000 So yeah, I just want to be clear here.

00:09:07.000 So the solution to separate drinking fountains is separate drinking fountains.

00:09:13.000 That's where we're at.

00:09:14.000 Okay.

00:09:15.000 Welcome to 2021.

00:09:17.000 So Alex, I think a lot of this is an intentional smokescreen operation by people that don't want us to actually talk about deeper issues that matter.

00:09:27.000 I think that these racial issues animate people.

00:09:32.000 It gets people's attention.

00:09:35.000 There has been, I think, a good amount of educational focus on what happens when you do not restrain racial prejudice.

00:09:45.000 And obviously the 20th century was a bloodbath of that.

00:09:49.000 And so that kind of laid the groundwork, I think, in some ways for people taking this seriously.

00:09:54.000 They should take it seriously.

00:09:55.000 Obviously, racism is evil.

00:09:56.000 It's terrible.

00:09:57.000 It's just not everywhere.

00:09:58.000 In fact, there's so little racism in America that we have a supply and demand issue with it.

00:10:02.000 But talk about Alex on how we talk about stuff that really doesn't is not consequential when the billionaires are $3.8 trillion richer, our borders are wide open.

00:10:14.000 We have 100,000 opioid deaths every single year.

00:10:17.000 I mean, very plainly, it's like, yeah, I'll talk about how racist America is that you can get opioid deaths below 50,000.

00:10:23.000 I mean, talk a little bit about that.

00:10:24.000 Yeah, cultural Marxism is the greatest gift to the super elite left because these are people who have corporations and they want to do international business.

00:10:36.000 They want to operate unencumbered by the government or by the people.

00:10:40.000 They don't want to be accountable to anyone.

00:10:43.000 And they've realized they have a hack.

00:10:45.000 Instead of Amazon treating their warehouse workers well or Hollywood treating women well or Google treating black people well, all they have to do is post a black square on Instagram and then all of a sudden they can do whatever horrible stuff they were going to do. 1.00

00:11:03.000 And you see people who are now spokespeople for racial equality and racial justice and social justice and the BIPOCs and the Latinx and all of these people.

00:11:14.000 Did I have that right?

00:11:16.000 I always get it confused.

00:11:19.000 And these are people who might have been against busing because they thought busing would create a racial jungle.

00:11:25.000 They might be people who are, let's say, the NFL.

00:11:28.000 The NFL has end racism in the end zone. 0.90

00:11:31.000 The NFL is about 70% black.

00:11:33.000 The NFL seemed to be a place that, by and large, was universally beloved until recently, until Colin Kaepernick started ruining it for everyone.

00:11:42.000 It seemed like everyone loved the NFL.

00:11:44.000 And so now they're doing all these things that it doesn't matter how people are treated in real life.

00:11:49.000 It doesn't matter what the corporations actually do so long, they're not doing the hard work of actually trying to recruit people into their businesses to make it more diverse.

00:11:59.000 They're not actually trying to have equitable distribution of the wealth to the workers in the Amazon warehouse.

00:12:05.000 All they have to do is virtue signal by sending a check to communist Marxist Black Lives Matter, and they announce they're the greatest people on the planet. 0.57

00:12:12.000 This is a trick.

00:12:13.000 It is a hoax.

00:12:14.000 And so many young people are getting hoaxed by it right now.

00:12:17.000 James.

00:12:18.000 Yeah, so that is all 100% spot on.

00:12:21.000 The two biggest issues that critical race theory are hiding are everything that Alex just said, especially under the brand name ESG.

00:12:28.000 Those are going to be three letters you're going to talk about all year next year.

00:12:31.000 Environmental is E. Social is S. G is governance.

00:12:36.000 This is already a social credit system that exists for corporations that explains all of that.

00:12:40.000 You can put your black square on Instagram and your ESG score goes up and all of a sudden you can invest with your big companies like Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Vanguard, et cetera.

00:12:48.000 And if you don't, they won't carry your assets.

00:12:51.000 They won't manage your portfolio.

00:12:53.000 They'll exclude you from investments, et cetera.

00:12:55.000 So they've got a social credit system in place for corporations already.

00:12:58.000 The second one is in the schools, actually, believe it or not.

00:13:02.000 And it is that critical race theory in the school is sort of a left hand distracting you from the sexual malfeasance that they're pulling on our kids, which is what's really going to tear this country apart.

00:13:13.000 All right, my friend here, Alex, just talked about Antonio Gramsci in the 1920s, but he didn't mention his buddy from Hungary, George Lukac, who unleashed on Hungary in the 1920s when they had their communist revolution, 1919, when they had their communist revolution, a sexual education program that looks almost identical to what they're doing today under terms like comprehensive sex education and under queer theory and gender theory, et cetera.

00:13:38.000 And this is actually where they break America.

00:13:40.000 So critical race theory is not just a distraction, it is a funnel into queer theory. 0.62

00:13:45.000 And I know I've shared a stage with you many times and said, well, queer theory is a topic for another day, Charlie. 0.99

00:13:51.000 That's today.

00:13:52.000 Because what's going on is they're making, this is what Mao Zedong did.

00:13:56.000 He separated the culture into five categories that were considered red for communist and five categories that were considered black for being bad.

00:14:04.000 And he gave people black identities and a pathway to become a red guard by joining a red identity. 0.88

00:14:10.000 So if you're white, you have a black racial cultural identity under critical race theory.

00:14:15.000 But if you become gender fluid, you have a red one now. 0.93

00:14:18.000 This is Mao's education program from 1966 remade in America, and it worked. 0.95

00:14:24.000 What it will do is it will bring children.

00:14:27.000 It will destabilize them.

00:14:28.000 Queer, and queer theory means an identity without an essence.

00:14:32.000 You will not know who you are.

00:14:33.000 You will not grow up well.

00:14:34.000 And you are going to have some weird 18-syllable sexuality, different romantic orientation, and 12 genders. 0.98

00:14:41.000 And you're going to come home and you're going to tell your parents you don't understand what it's like.

00:14:45.000 And the family is broken.

00:14:47.000 One generation to the next is split.

00:14:50.000 And you're going to not know who you are.

00:14:51.000 And you're going to be manipulable.

00:14:53.000 And you're going to break away from your religion. 0.95

00:14:55.000 Christianity doesn't say that.

00:14:56.000 It says God created man and woman and they're meant to be partners and compliments.

00:15:04.000 I recently received a question from a listener.

00:15:06.000 She wanted to know if it was possible to avoid digestion problems by eating only healthy organic food.

00:15:11.000 It was a nice thought, but unfortunately, it's just not possible.

00:15:14.000 You see, your natural ability to digest food declines with age.

00:15:17.000 This is because your body produces fewer enzymes.

00:15:20.000 Fewer enzymes mean more difficulty digesting food.

00:15:22.000 Even organic foods won't provide enough enzymes to properly digest them.

00:15:26.000 This is especially true if you cook your food because cooking kills enzymes.

00:15:29.000 This is why you have digestion problems even after a healthy meal.

00:15:33.000 Your body just can't produce enough enzymes to get the job done.

00:15:35.000 That's why you need a supplement with a high-quality enzyme supplement that could be a huge help.

00:15:39.000 I personally recommend Mess Zymes by Buy Optimizers.

00:15:43.000 It is the best-in-class supplement loaded with full-spectrum enzymes for digesting protein, starches, sugars, fibers, and fats.

00:15:49.000 Taking Mass Zymes daily helps top off your enzyme levels and replace the enzymes your body is no longer producing.

00:15:56.000 Listen, life is too short to suffer from digestion problems.

00:15:59.000 If you want freedom from your food, especially this holiday season, go to MassZymes Risk-Free and experience the magic of high-quality enzymes.

00:16:06.000 For an exclusive offer, my listeners can go to masszymes.com/slash Kirk, M-A-S-S-Z-Y-M-E-S.com/slash Kirk.

00:16:15.000 Again, that's masszzymes.com/slash Kirk.

00:16:18.000 MassZymes.com/slash Kirk.

00:16:26.000 So, Christianity doesn't get it. 0.55

00:16:28.000 So, the kids reject Christianity. 0.99

00:16:30.000 Queer theory is the gateway to hell. 0.99

00:16:35.000 And what you have, I'm serious, it is the gateway to hell. 0.95

00:16:38.000 And what you have is critical race theory creating both a distraction from it and a funnel for the white, straight male kids to want to start identifying this way.

00:16:50.000 Let me connect that to something Charlie said earlier: that it is all about a distraction and is not just about a distraction from inflation and from the open border and from China's missiles that we can barely detect and from the fact that Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan right now.

00:17:05.000 They're still stranded there.

00:17:06.000 It's not just a distraction from that.

00:17:08.000 It's also a distraction from the fact that so many of the solutions to the problems in this country right now are actually found in documents we can read and talk about today.

00:17:18.000 Our founding documents, the Federalist Papers, the Bible, the Judeo-Christian values that our country was founded on.

00:17:25.000 There are answers for us here, and we cannot read them or talk about them because we have to do so much defense against genderqueer theory and whether or not you're a terrorist because you don't like men using the women's bathroom and you don't like critical race theory in your public school.

00:17:40.000 That is the whole trick.

00:17:41.000 And the road is to dismantle the foundation of this country.

00:17:45.000 That is the direction this is heading if we don't start changing the conversation right now.

00:17:53.000 So, James, that was awesome.

00:17:56.000 And you're the liberal on this panel.

00:17:58.000 Like, okay, sure.

00:18:00.000 Right. 0.99

00:18:01.000 Queer theory is the gateway to hell. 0.99

00:18:03.000 I'm a liberal. 0.98

00:18:03.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:18:04.000 Sit strongly and tell the truth.

00:18:06.000 Welcome to the right, James Lindsay.

00:18:08.000 We're very nice.

00:18:14.000 And no, I just love that.

00:18:16.000 So, okay, it's deconstructionist in nature.

00:18:20.000 It's about trying to question heteronormative tendencies and behaviors.

00:18:26.000 Parents are super confused about this, James.

00:18:28.000 And they're confused because I hear, well, it wasn't like this when I grew up.

00:18:33.000 What should the posture of a parent be?

00:18:35.000 Of an eight-year-old, a 10-year-old, the 15-year-old, the 20-year-old.

00:18:38.000 Caution them appropriately.

00:18:40.000 Tell them what to be alert and aware of.

00:18:42.000 And what's the code words they should be looking out for?

00:18:45.000 And then we'll get what we can do about it.

00:18:47.000 Don't get there yet, but like, because we'll close.

00:18:49.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:18:49.000 It's so difficult because this is so seductive.

00:18:52.000 I actually have a podcast series I've been doing that I'm calling groomer schools because that's what's happening in the schools.

00:18:58.000 This is sexual and whatever else, grooming. 0.63

00:19:01.000 And the communists have a handshake agreement with the pedophiles. 0.96

00:19:05.000 I'm not even going to exaggerate. 0.88

00:19:06.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:19:07.000 It's very much, if you're a Lord of the Rings fan, like I am, it's like the deal that Sarman, I know it's geeky, Sarman made with worm tongue. 0.98

00:19:14.000 You know, go undermine Theodin so that Rohan won't fight back and you can have your pick of the girl.

00:19:20.000 It's the same deal, but it's your kids.

00:19:22.000 So what you've got to be telling your kids is you've actually got to be talking to them that this is nonsense and that there are boys and there are girls and it's not only okay to be a boy or a girl, but it's very important to do that and that there are people who are going to use this to hurt you down the look down the road.

00:19:42.000 Thank you.

00:19:46.000 So the brand name a lot of this is getting brought in under is social emotional learning.

00:19:50.000 That's the brand name that America has taken up for the Maoist education program that's designed to bring in, to teach your kids to think in terms of gender this and cultural that and sensitivity this and trauma that. 0.55

00:20:03.000 And so those are the kinds of words that you're going to want to look for.

00:20:06.000 Culturally responsive, culturally sensitive, transformative.

00:20:09.000 Oh my gosh, look out for the word transformative.

00:20:11.000 Equity, diversity, inclusion, privilege, belonging.

00:20:14.000 These are words you have to watch out for.

00:20:16.000 When you get into the sexual stuff, though, anything that's talking about normativity, anything that ends in sexual, you've probably got to keep an eye on it.

00:20:23.000 The idea of gender being a social construct, you've got to keep an eye on that too.

00:20:27.000 Those are the kinds of things.

00:20:28.000 But social emotional learning is the vehicle that you need to be challenging your school boards and things about.

00:20:34.000 I would actually tell you this, and I've said this publicly, so I'm not just making a weird, like, I'm in front of a crowd moment here.

00:20:41.000 People who are intentionally, not the teachers that are forced to do it, people who are intentionally bringing social emotional learning into our nation's schools belong in prison.

00:20:54.000 It is the worst form of psychological child abuse being perpetrated by teachers pretending to be psychologists without a psychology license in an untherapeutic, uncontrolled environment called a classroom with kids that they don't know what's going on at home.

00:21:09.000 They don't know what the issue is.

00:21:11.000 And there are actually examples where they're having seventh grade, 12-year-old girls fill out surveys and explain, talk about the changes that are happening to your breasts.

00:21:20.000 Where's hair growing on your body?

00:21:21.000 How are boys looking at you now?

00:21:23.000 And then they have to share this in front of the class.

00:21:25.000 This is actual sexual abuse. 0.61

00:21:28.000 They belong in prison.

00:21:31.000 And it also serves to divide something that is a key component of American life, or at least has been until recently, which is the nuclear family.

00:21:39.000 When you come home from college and you went as a girl and you're coming back as a boy or a non-binary hybrid of some kind, that confuses your family. 0.99

00:21:49.000 That demoralizes your family.

00:21:50.000 That makes the core family structure, the nuclear family, which has been the key unit for guidance, for morality, for education throughout the entire history of this country, that calls that into question.

00:22:03.000 And it is a way for the state, for the public education apparatus, for so much of this giant, woke corporate world that we're living in to supplant the nuclear family and to replace it with total chaos. 0.75

00:22:19.000 And that is step one.

00:22:21.000 Step two, we can go on from there.

00:22:22.000 But the first step is create a chaotic environment in home.

00:22:26.000 And once that happens, all bets are off on what happens with Americans.

00:22:30.000 Let me just tell you that that disruption of the nuclear family actually literally goes straight back to Marx in the Communist Manifesto. 0.71

00:22:36.000 He says extremely plainly that the nuclear family is a recreation of capitalism.

00:22:43.000 And it is in fact a product of capitalism that reproduces capitalism.

00:22:46.000 And so it's one of the first things that has to be disrupted.

00:22:48.000 So this is a plan that goes back to the 1840s with Karl Marx himself to try to disrupt Western civilization so that Marxists can take it over and run it through a state institution that they're totally in control of.

00:23:00.000 End of America.

00:23:02.000 So James and Alex, we have parents here from all across the country and millions of people who listen to this podcast and watch the video.

00:23:08.000 What can we do?

00:23:10.000 It's important to identify, read your book, listen to your wonderful podcast, Alex, Breitbright News Daily.

00:23:15.000 But we got to start to have some action here, right?

00:23:17.000 We got to have some people do some things in the educational space.

00:23:20.000 We're doing what we can at Turning Point USA.

00:23:22.000 We have our school board watch list.

00:23:24.000 We have our professor watch list.

00:23:26.000 We're doing a lot on high schools and college campuses.

00:23:28.000 But what can be done and then what needs to get done?

00:23:31.000 Because this is a cancer.

00:23:33.000 This is a virus, whatever you want to call it.

00:23:35.000 If we don't stop this, the country's done.

00:23:38.000 Step one is, I mean it is fire them.

00:23:41.000 I'm telling you, you have to get them out of positions of power over your children.

00:23:45.000 That's not easily accomplished, though.

00:23:48.000 So, what parents need to start doing, first of all, is they need to start talking to each other.

00:23:52.000 They need to know that you're, I mean, you all know here, you're not alone.

00:23:55.000 A lot of parents still don't know that.

00:23:57.000 You're not alone.

00:23:58.000 There is something weird.

00:23:59.000 There is something bad happening here.

00:24:01.000 There are reasons to want to pull your kids out of schools right now.

00:24:04.000 And you have to start talking to each other.

00:24:06.000 Create the pathways to start to network.

00:24:08.000 When you start to network, then you have to start to organize and get informed.

00:24:11.000 So that's where you're going to start interacting with these materials like Charlie and me and Alex and everybody else are producing.

00:24:16.000 You have to get informed on this, but you have to get organized.

00:24:19.000 I looked at the state of Utah, which is a great state that I visited just about a month ago, and they have an organization there called Utah Parents United that's got almost 30,000 members in a year.

00:24:29.000 That should be happening in every single state.

00:24:32.000 And those parents need to start sharing information, showing up in large groups, getting organized, and then taking action.

00:24:37.000 And the action they need to take is to completely reboot our schools.

00:24:42.000 People who are bringing in Marxist techniques and Marxist ideology to our children to use them as pawns to overthrow our society need to be removed from those positions.

00:24:52.000 And it's going to require parents to step up and become teachers.

00:24:55.000 It's going to require people to figure out new accreditation systems.

00:24:58.000 It's going to require new teaching colleges.

00:25:00.000 It's going to require so much hard work by you as parents and as adults.

00:25:06.000 And it's also going to take reaching out to your kids to make sure those bonds stay really safe and really strong because they want to sever that link more than anything.

00:25:14.000 You to your kids.

00:25:17.000 It's a great place to start.

00:25:19.000 I think number one, first of all, let's talk about Virginia for a second.

00:25:23.000 Because one of the few silver linings from this horrible pandemic has been so many parents got to watch their kids allegedly get schooling via Zoom.

00:25:33.000 And they realized they weren't learning reading, writing, arithmetic.

00:25:36.000 They weren't learning the founding documents.

00:25:38.000 They weren't learning the Enlightenment thinkers.

00:25:40.000 They were learning CRT.

00:25:42.000 They were learning Ibram X. Kendi.

00:25:44.000 They were learning Robin D'Angelo and white privilege or whatever it is, white fragility, which just means that you don't know how special you are if you're white.

00:25:52.000 What is white fragility even? 0.62

00:25:54.000 Yeah, white fragility is that if you disagree with critical race theory, you have a psychological disorder called white fragility. 0.99

00:26:00.000 You're emotionally too fragile to handle it.

00:26:03.000 So when parents realized that this is what they were being taught, they stood up and they got people thrown off school boards.

00:26:09.000 They got a Republican to win a governor, even though you had a situation where the left was controlling a state that was traditionally more of a neutral state.

00:26:20.000 So there is hope when people get involved on a micro level.

00:26:25.000 I think other things you can do is boycott.

00:26:28.000 And I know this is not a tactic I would have recommended 10 years ago, but I think if businesses are showing woke values, you should not support them.

00:26:35.000 You should find alternatives.

00:26:38.000 I will tell you one thing that I do is that when I'm about to buy a product from a business that I haven't supported before, I do go on their Instagram and I do look for that black square.

00:26:49.000 And if I see it, I will not buy their product.

00:26:51.000 I will buy an alternative product.

00:26:53.000 And I recommend all of you do that as well.

00:26:55.000 There are other brands out there.

00:26:56.000 And if you find that there is a brand that you think, even if it's with a wink and a nod, does share some of your values, support that business.

00:27:03.000 Make sure they thrive.

00:27:04.000 Make sure that you're supporting people who are trying to take on some of these woke corporations, not just with your minds and with your voice, but also with your dollars.

00:27:12.000 Make it so that this is a whole conservative ecosystem where people can thrive and grow wealthy and strong and powerful in numbers because they are supporting what it means to be the United States of America.

00:27:24.000 And I think that's something we could all start doing right this second.

00:27:27.000 The last thing that I really think that we should do, which is so important, is beyond just overwhelming the system, is this is going to be a legal battle.

00:27:35.000 And we need to make sure we have the best lawyers who are able to sue people into the ground if they're corrupting our youth and they're taking advantage and abusing their power.

00:27:45.000 This should not be acceptable at any corner of this country.

00:27:48.000 And we need people who are fluent in the law and know where they can have our back on that level as well.

00:27:54.000 Listen, don't be afraid to invite the lawsuit.

00:27:57.000 You should do a happy dance if you find a place where you can sue a school.

00:28:00.000 You have to be willing to invite the lawsuit because these battles are going to be legal.

00:28:04.000 The other big place, the last thing, vote.

00:28:07.000 What you need to do is you need to get your parents organized.

00:28:09.000 You get together and then you need to show up and start asking the mayor, the school board, your congressman.

00:28:14.000 It doesn't matter.

00:28:14.000 Every single person in government, ask them where they stand on this.

00:28:17.000 If they waver at all, vote them out.

00:28:22.000 They must be clear on this.

00:28:26.000 For the corporations that are good and not so good, you can go to secondvote.com.

00:28:30.000 It's terrific.

00:28:31.000 It's a great guide for that.

00:28:33.000 You guys get a big discount.

00:28:34.000 I think it's promo code Charlie or Kirk.

00:28:35.000 I can't remember which one.

00:28:36.000 But secondvote.com, they rate every company.

00:28:38.000 And let's use one example.

00:28:40.000 Salvation Army, totally woke.

00:28:42.000 No one should give any money to Salvation Army.

00:28:44.000 Can I say something?

00:28:45.000 Starve the beast, yeah.

00:28:47.000 I donate Salvation Army every year, always at least a four-figure sum.

00:28:51.000 And I'm not donating this year.

00:28:53.000 I'm doing exactly what I said.

00:28:56.000 They will not get my money if they're going to support woke indoctrination of America.

00:29:00.000 That has nothing to do with why I support them.

00:29:03.000 I supported them in the past because they give to charity.

00:29:05.000 They give to people in need.

00:29:07.000 And if they want to use cultural Marxism to if they want to advance that, then I will find another charity.

00:29:13.000 And I think all of you should do the same.

00:29:15.000 So there is a lot of information there.

00:29:19.000 If you guys want to re-listen to this whole conversation, we're going to put it on my podcast.

00:29:22.000 And thank you guys that listen to our podcast feed.

00:29:24.000 We deeply appreciate it.

00:29:26.000 You guys can check it out.

00:29:27.000 If you're not yet following us, Charlie Kirk Show, we deeply appreciate that.

00:29:31.000 This is a very important topic.

00:29:33.000 And I also encourage you guys to follow both of them.

00:29:36.000 This is like skimming the surface of their knowledge of this topic.

00:29:40.000 I know so many moms and dads here in this room are dealing with this.

00:29:45.000 And if you're confused by this, that's okay because they want you to be confused.

00:29:49.000 In fact, they want you to be intimidated by this. 1.00

00:29:52.000 They use unnecessarily long words and academic vocabulary to try to make it seem as if you're stupid when in reality, they're the fools and you have wisdom. 0.99

00:30:02.000 And so what it's going to take, though, is willingness and courage and for parents and yes, students as well. 0.99

00:30:09.000 But this is really mainly a parent's fight because guess what?

00:30:12.000 As you said, James, this is happening to three-year-olds, four-year-olds, five-year-olds, and six-year-olds now that, you know, they're not going to be able to fight for themselves.

00:30:19.000 This needs to be the most aggressive counter move happening on the cultural educational landscape.

00:30:24.000 Homeschooling has doubled in the last 18 months, everybody.

00:30:28.000 It has doubled.

00:30:29.000 And I want to see it double again.

00:30:32.000 And we're super excited to continue to see that.

00:30:35.000 And I think the educational cartel is about to be broken up and disrupted in a very, very positive way.

00:30:41.000 Give it up for our panel.

00:30:42.000 God bless you guys.

00:30:47.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
