00:00:51.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:20.0006-3 Supreme Court of the United States decision, authored by John Roberts.
00:01:25.000And this is all about affirmative action.
00:01:27.000They've definitely struck a blow against affirmative action, but it goes too far to say that this is conclusive.
00:01:33.000This is not the blow that we wanted, but it is a good one.
00:01:35.000We're going to talk about really what's missing in this because there's one line in particular that the DEI folks, the race hustlers, are going to use to try to continue the regime of anti-racism.
00:01:50.000But all things being equal, this is a good one.
00:01:52.000And by the way, just we're going to unpack from this from every angle.
00:01:56.000Reading Katanji Brown Jackson and Sodomayor's and Kagan's dissent, you look at it, you say, oh my goodness, like this is these people are so off the rails that how they were ever confirmed as Supreme Court justices is beyond us.
00:03:09.000If somebody's coming to you in a meeting and they're a certain skin color and you automatically put a label on them, yes, we call that racism, stereotyping.
00:03:21.000Now, critical race theory brought that to the forefront where we heard these con artists, Ibrahim X. Kendi and Robin D'Angelo talk about this.
00:03:28.000But most Americans, even during the CRT fights, we had CRT right in front of us the whole time in our federal hiring practices and yes, in college admissions and especially in college admissions.
00:03:41.000Now, affirmative action is, believe it or not, a very unpopular thing.
00:03:46.000Every time affirmative action goes to a ballot referendum, the race hustlers lose.
00:03:51.000Every time affirmative action goes to some sort of a vote, those of us that stand for meritocracy, we actually win.
00:03:59.000We say, hey, let's have some sort of colorblind country.
00:04:20.000And so the question behind, let's go back in time: 45 years ago, in Regents v. Baki, the Supreme Court said that the race-based quotas were unconstitutional, but that schools could give racial preferences for the sake of diversity.
00:04:35.000That's a bunch of psycho-babble to basically say, well, you can't outwardly use affirmative action, but you could use racial preferences.
00:04:44.000And what's so interesting is that affirmative action has been this quiet, deliberate, concentrated campaign and infrastructure, and more importantly, a bureaucracy that has been directly at odds with American values as you and I have always seen them.
00:05:04.000Affirmative action is inconsistent with the country that you and I believe in.
00:05:09.000Affirmative action undermines the American dream.
00:05:12.000So here we are always telling our kids about the MLK dream, which hilariously, one of the Supreme Court justices, I think it was Katangi Brown Jackson or Sodomayor, quoted MLK.
00:05:23.000MLK's line is what I was raised in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade and seventh grade.
00:05:28.000I remember we saw the speech that you shout, I dream of a country.
00:05:32.000I have a dream that one day we will be judged by the contents of our character, not the color of our skin.
00:05:56.000You'll have a very, very wealthy, rich oligarchy, but this idea of people being able to break out of their socioeconomic conditions, they will stay perpetually poor and perpetually in whatever their socioeconomic circumstances.
00:06:10.000So anyway, the schools could give racial preference for the sake of diversity.
00:06:14.000So in response to that specific decision, we got the DEI industrial complex with flagrant discrimination dressed up as diversity.
00:06:24.000Now, in 2003, the court revisited affirmative action in Grutter v. Bollinger.
00:06:29.000This time it declared that giving explicit bonus points, again, all these goofy, creative ways to just be racist, be racist against Asians, racist against white people.
00:06:40.000It's another example of the war on white people that we've talked about before.
00:06:45.000So in this Grutter v. Bollinger, it declared that giving explicit bonus points for admission based on race was unconstitutional, but allowed schools to consider race as part of a holistic process.
00:06:58.000It also suggested that in 25 years, such discrimination would no longer be needed.
00:07:03.000And we're just about on that window right now.
00:07:06.000Now, that's a good question that I have as I was kind of preparing for this.
00:07:13.000If you were to ask the race hustlers like Katanji Brown Jackson, all these people, hey, when would be a sunset date for your affirmative action policies?
00:07:46.000What it's done is it's created hyper-racist acceptance policies that discriminate against Asians, Jews, white people.
00:07:54.000Okay, so you can guess what happened next.
00:07:56.000Colleges built huge, massive, leviathan-like, opaque admissions bureaucracies to practice flagrant discrimination.
00:08:04.000But they dressed it up as a holistic process.
00:08:06.000At Harvard admissions, counselors systematically rated Asians as deficient in personality to justify denying them admission.
00:08:15.000Until today, Harvard was allowed to get away with it and to get away with the system where it explicitly rewarded people based on the color of their skin.
00:08:24.000This should not have been a hard decision.
00:08:26.000And quite honestly, we're going to get into the details.
00:08:55.000Remember, Republicans have been afraid to go after affirmative action, CRT, and all these things because they do not want to be called racist.
00:09:18.000Red states now have a mandate right now from the Supreme Court to ban affirmative action.
00:09:24.000Every red state across the country, Wyoming, Montana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, the Dakotas, you need to convene a special session and pass a bill into law and saying affirmative action is dead on arrival at the University of Alabama, at the University of Georgia, or at South Dakota State University.
00:09:52.000It bloodies the nose of Harvard and it moves us in the right direction of challenging and weakening the diversity, equity, inclusion regime.
00:10:03.000Do you know the average American spends about 20 years in retirement?
00:10:06.000That's a long time to live without a steady income.
00:10:08.000And we want to make sure you enjoy every moment of it and don't outlive your money.
00:10:13.000Retirement is about more than just investments.
00:10:59.000You see, the left thinks that they can tell a lot about a person based on the color of their skin.
00:11:04.000I can't tell anything based on somebody's skin, skin color, nothing.
00:11:08.000When I sit down with somebody and a word has not yet been spoken, and it's somebody that's white or they're Asian or black, I know nothing about them.
00:11:20.000The left thinks they have them all figured out.
00:11:32.000But what is at the core of affirmative action?
00:11:35.000At the core of affirmative action is a lie.
00:11:39.000Like all major left-wing programs, there is a lie that then grows into massive public policy.
00:11:46.000So remember, lockdowns, what was the lie of the lockdowns?
00:11:50.000That 20% of the population was going to die if we don't have lockdowns.
00:11:54.000Vaccine, what was the lie of the mandatory vaccine that this thing was going to protect us?
00:11:57.000It was safe, it was effective, all that.
00:11:59.000So, if you are able to pinpoint the root lie, then you're far more likely then to be able to make positive progress in disassembling whatever leviathan or diversity, equity, inclusion structure that they have built.
00:12:21.000And Thomas Sowell wrote an entire book on it, which is one of the most powerful and honestly based pieces of literature on race and meritocracy.
00:12:33.000And I guarantee you, some people in this audience, some of you have probably fallen trap to this because I used to when I was in high school before I read my soul and I realized that it's this simple.
00:12:46.000If you see disparate outcomes, is discrimination only to blame?
00:12:55.000So, for example, if you see that blacks are not earning as much money as whites, is it because of racism, or could other factors, bigger factors, possibly be playing a role?
00:13:11.000You see, the left tries to synthesize 60,000 different inputs, literally.
00:13:28.000Things that we know that actually helped.
00:13:30.000Instead of trying to have a serious conversation or a comprehensive public policy agenda to address those things, they say, Look, blacks are not where we want them to be.
00:13:41.000So, we're just going to then actively discriminate against white people to help them.
00:13:45.000And by the way, it doesn't help anybody, it doesn't help the act, it doesn't help black Americans, and it doesn't help the college.
00:13:52.000Well, it somewhat helps the colleges, it doesn't help anybody.
00:13:56.000It's classic left-wing policy, it's just pure brute force.
00:14:01.000It hurts basically everyone except the administrators of the actual policy.
00:14:06.000Just like their pro-crime policies don't actually help blacks, they ruin their communities.
00:14:12.000And there's so many different angles to this.
00:14:15.000Thomas Sowell famously made the argument that you then get blacks with lower test scores.
00:14:22.000And by the way, this is not some sort of conspiracy theory.
00:14:27.000So, for example, how insane were Harvard's affirmative action policies?
00:14:31.000Well, a black student in the 40th percentile of their academic index is more likely to get in than an Asian student in the 100th percentile.
00:14:41.000So, a black in the 40th percentile of their academic index and an Asian in the 100th percent percentile.
00:14:52.000And we're supposed to give preference to the black kid because he looks different than the Asian kid.
00:15:01.000That's why the Supreme Court ruled the way they did.
00:15:03.000There is no defense of this, regardless of how much white guilt or racial weight that you put on this, that's indefensible when you actually get to the documents.
00:15:13.000There are five decades of active discrimination here.
00:15:17.000Black students who do not have as high test scores end up getting admitted into colleges that, quite honestly, they might not be qualified for.
00:15:29.000And it results in dropouts, it results in black students not feeling as if they're fit in place.
00:15:37.000And this is not some sort of radical argument.
00:15:40.000This is Thomas Sowell who made this argument.
00:15:42.000He said it leads to resentment, it leads to the black-only dormitory trend, it leads to the black-only graduation trend.
00:17:46.000Why am I saying it's not as good as it could be?
00:17:48.000Well, because John Roberts, who, yes, did vote correctly, he matched and he pulled rank, as you could probably imagine, around that nine-person table and said, I want to write the opinion.
00:18:02.000So John Roberts did what John Roberts does.
00:18:05.000Rights, rights, And there's this one part of the opinion that gives a little bit of a little bit of hope to the bad guys, a little bit of life to the CRT regime.
00:18:24.000There's this one line in there where John Roberts effectively says that, well, if you do it differently, then it could be perfect.
00:18:35.000Okay, there's nothing in the Constitution that doesn't allow accommodations to try to get rid of racism.
00:18:41.000We're going to find the exact wording here.
00:18:43.000Now, remember, this well could have gone beyond college.
00:18:47.000He could have said that racial discrimination is wrong in federal hiring.
00:18:51.000It could have been a real sweeping attack on racial bias.
00:18:54.000Now, that is going to be the next challenge.
00:18:57.000The next challenge will be getting rid of affirmative action and hiring practices.
00:19:01.000Now, this could have imposed tougher rules to really crack the whip on affirmative action.
00:19:07.000It could say that, quote, schools will always twist race to impose racial discrimination, so they just can't collect racial information at all.
00:19:16.000By the way, that's what every red state needs to do right now.
00:19:19.000Kansas, Texas, they need to pass rules that we're not collecting any racial information at all, period.
00:19:27.000It's the same as when you make a dinner reservation.
00:19:30.000Could you imagine when you make an let's just say you're booking an airline ticket or you're making a dinner reservation and it says while you're making an airline ticket reservation for American Airlines, as you're checking out, it says, What's your race?
00:20:09.000American airlines or airlines work as meritocracies.
00:20:13.000Somebody emailed us, Charlie, what is a meritocracy?
00:20:15.000Okay, well, it's a system that has preference on work, ethic, also has an emphasis on how much effort you put into something, not on connections, not on immutable characteristics.
00:20:35.000It's a pursuit of excellence, on quality and ability.
00:20:39.000Now, here's the other thought crime that is necessary to say, and we're going to talk about this tonight on our thought crime program, which is when you pursue excellence, there will be people that are left behind.
00:20:55.000Therefore, the people who achieve some form of success have a moral obligation to look out for those people and to provide charity or to try to provide some sort of system so that they can have a better life.
00:21:08.000You cannot have an excellent institution while simultaneously admitting people who do not have the same test scores or meet the standards to be there whatsoever.
00:21:19.000And I'll say it again: an Asian in the 100th percentile was being graded at the same level as a black student in the 40th percentile.
00:22:32.000Why is it that it's an American value to believe that we do not want somebody's skin color to factor into whether or not they'll get into college, whether or not they'll get a job, whether or not the answer is that you and I believe that every human being has the agency, has the ability to choose morally,
00:22:57.000that we can decide to work really hard in high school to get better grades, to go to a better school.
00:23:04.000And that if you're Asian and you do that, which they tend to work very, very hard in school and do very well in school, why should they be punished for that?
00:23:14.000If there's a black kid that decides not to do homework and he's in the 40th percentile, why should he be given a preference?
00:23:22.000Why should he be given a group quota preference as a preferential group?
00:23:28.000And then, not to mention the incentives that are created by affirmative action.
00:23:34.000And the incentives are then you have this massive DEI machinery that is very, very difficult to disentangle.
00:23:43.000Clarence Thomas blasted Justice Katanji Brown Jackson's argument in his concurrence.
00:23:49.000He said, quote, KBJ locks blacks into a seemingly perpetual inferior caste.
00:24:00.000It is an insult to individual achievement and cancerous to young minds seeking to push through barriers rather than consign themselves to permanent victimhood.
00:24:11.000Katanji Brown Jackson's a repulsive person.
00:25:27.000She said, with let them eat cake obliviousness, today the majority pulled the rip cord and announces, quote, colorblindness for all by legal fiat.
00:25:36.000But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.
00:25:56.000And having so detached itself from this country's actual past and present experiences, the court has now been lured into interfering with the crucial work that UNC, the crucial work, Katanji Brown Jackson is saying, why?
00:26:09.000Do you know how many other young blacks that won't be able to be promoted like me for jobs they're not qualified for like me?
00:26:18.000What ignorance exactly, Katanji Brown Jackson?
00:26:21.000Although formal race-linked legal barriers are gone, race still matters to the lived experiences of all Americans in innumerable ways.
00:26:28.000And today's ruling makes things worse, not better.
00:26:31.000The best that can be said of the majority's perspective is that it proceeds ostrich-like from the hopes that preventing consideration of race will end racism.
00:26:42.000Biden explicitly said he would only pick a black woman for the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:26:47.000Biden himself was an administer of affirmative action.
00:26:51.000Katanji Brown Jackson is a recipient of affirmative action, and she's trying to continue this.
00:26:56.000Disgusting and repulsive practice, and it's a great example.
00:27:00.000This is largely incoherent legalese that she has published that writes more like a race activist from Brooklyn than a Supreme Court justice.
00:28:31.000As has been the case before in American, in the history of American democracy, pause, we are not a democracy or a republic, but she wouldn't know that.
00:29:17.000And by the way, these people are such hypocrites.
00:29:20.000Does Katangi Brown Jackson, the next time she boards an airplane, this would be a great test, the next time Katangi Brown Jackson boards an airplane?
00:29:27.000She boards an airplane, she sits down.
00:30:58.000I had dinner with President Trump, last many hours last night.
00:31:01.000Number one, he was actually in the best spirits I've seen him ever.
00:31:05.000It's almost as if the odds against him, the indictments and stuff, I think it, my analysis, it brought him back to a period of life similar to the 80s or 90s where he felt like the whole world was against him.
00:31:17.000I actually think he operates better under these conditions.
