00:02:33.000His 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.
00:02:41.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:03:43.000Now, today, of course, we're talking about is Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
00:03:47.000We told people last week that we planned to talk about MLK Day today.
00:03:51.000In fact, truthfully, I was planning maybe a five-minute segment.
00:03:54.000Like, okay, it's Iowa Caucus Day, little thing here, move on.
00:03:58.000However, the media got wind of it because they watch everything we say on this program, every syllable, and they made a huge deal about it.
00:05:38.000Why did a group of theologians in 1979 propose adding a letter from the Birmingham jail to the New Testament of the Bible?
00:05:46.000Well, you don't get that kind of treatment for ordinary human accomplishments.
00:05:50.000You get that kind of treatment for being a symbol.
00:05:53.000For most Americans, and especially most conservative Americans, MLK is the symbol of seeking a colorblind society and doing it in a nonviolent way.
00:06:01.000That's understandably a very appealing idea.
00:06:03.000A nonviolent Christian who wants a colorblind America, that is something that should resonate with you.
00:06:08.000In fact, the myth of MLK is far more appealing than the reality of MLK.
00:06:14.000He is a Moses-type figure who delivered black Americans from segregation and Jim Crow and birthed the new America.
00:06:20.000But is that how we should think about this day?
00:06:22.000Well, joining us now is a terrific American, and we're going to get into it.
00:06:33.000Vince, how should we think about Martin Luther King Jr.?
00:06:38.000Well, you know, Charlie, it pains me to say this.
00:06:42.000I grew up in the typical black American home where MLK was an icon.
00:06:48.000My father still has a picture of MLK in my family home in Brownsville, Tennessee.
00:06:55.000And as a matter of fact, I had an aunt Jenny.
00:06:58.000She lived in an old shotgun house with no running water.
00:07:02.000And she had two pictures in that home.
00:07:05.000And one was of Jesus Christ, the other one was Martin Luther King Jr.
00:07:08.000So again, I have a history of being black in America.
00:07:13.000And it pains me to say the things I'm going to say, but if everything that I've read about Martin Luther King Jr., and again, all of it has come from Democrat Party sources, Democrats, no conservatives here.
00:07:26.000One book was by David Garrow called Bearing the Cross, another one by Taylor Branch.
00:07:31.000He was Bill Clinton's roommate at Yale called Partying the Waters.
00:07:34.000Another one by a guy by the name of Jonathan Eag.
00:07:37.000He's another very, very liberal Democrat, Ralph Abernathy, Martin Luther King Jr.'s successor and best friend, and a Jackie O'Nassis.
00:07:48.000They all say the same thing about King.
00:07:50.000And what they're saying is that he was a despicable man, that he was immoral.
00:07:59.000But it went further than that with me.
00:08:01.000I, on my journey, and it took me seven, eight years writing my first book, The Iron Triangle.
00:08:06.000I was at the Lorraine Motel doing my research, and they had Kings that have a dream speech looping.
00:08:12.000And this was during the time when Colin Carpentik and all the young black men were angry inside the NFL and they were kneeling and everybody was mad and George Floyd riots.
00:08:19.000And I was trying to figure out why they were so angry.
00:08:21.000I mean, these guys were young, they were attractive, they were supermen, you know, they were rich.
00:08:25.000And I had heard Martin Luther King Jr.'s, I have a dream speech a thousand times.
00:08:30.000But the great writer Thomas Wolfe said, you'll see a thing a thousand times before you see it once.
00:08:34.000And this was one of my Thomas Wolfe moments.
00:08:36.000I heard Martin Luther King Jr. say something in that speech that I understood was a poison pill that was causing so many problems in America.
00:08:43.000He said in that speech, 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the Negro is still not free.
00:09:46.000And that whole concept of freedom led us to our declaration and to our freedom in America.
00:09:51.000But King contradicted the declaration and he contradicted Jesus Christ when he said that we were not born free.
00:09:58.000So he said in that speech, he said, when will we be satisfied?
00:10:02.000He said, we will never be satisfied not until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.
00:10:07.000That was a fashion way of saying never.
00:10:10.000And our Christian religion tells us that Jesus Christ says that my peace I leave with you.
00:10:15.000So Martin Luther King is saying we will never be satisfied until America does certain things, which means we're giving, I'm taking our peace from Jesus Christ and giving it to us to Washington, D.C. again.
00:10:25.000He said he had a dream that one day his fellow children might be judged by the color of their skin, by the contrary of their character.
00:10:31.000Well, what's wrong with the color of my skin?
00:10:33.000I'm going to be walking around some racist, begging him not to judge me by the color of my skin.
00:10:39.000My Christian religion says I'm not to be concerned about how any man views me.
00:10:44.000I'm supposed to be concerned about how I view him and how Jesus Christ views me.
00:10:58.000But King said that we were to walk around and dream about a day that some racist white man will look at me and not be offended by the color of my skin.
00:14:08.000David Gerald writes about this in his book, Bearing the Cross.
00:14:11.000They said put the man in house clause in welfare so that if the man is in the house, the woman gets no money and he had to be run out before she gets a dime.
00:14:20.000In one generation, the black community went from 80% of their children being born in Wedlock to 80% being born out of wedlock.
00:14:29.000You know, and then when you start getting into the crazy stuff he did in his personal life, the orgies, the rapes, it all comes together, that there was something extraordinarily wrong here.
00:16:01.000And then the white people from the civil rights movement jumped from the civil rights movement into the Democratic Party and made the Democratic Party a Marxist organization in 1972.
00:16:10.000They did everything they planned to do, and it came from the civil rights movement.
00:16:14.000The civil rights movement didn't have anyone except for the communists in the United States of America.
00:16:18.000Black people are worse off behind the civil rights movement.
00:16:20.000And until we come to that conclusion, until we take all of this stupidity and ignorance and throw it away and pull it up root and stern, we'll always be at the bottom of everything in America.
00:16:53.000You've heard about and thought about and talked about it and maybe even prayed about it.
00:16:56.000But right now is the time to do something about it.
00:16:59.000If you're wondering about your end of year giving and want every dollar to get the most results, this is a great chance to maximize your gift for life.
00:17:06.000And for a one-time $15,000 gift, you'll provide not just one ultrasound machine, but two, saving thousands of babies for years to come.
00:18:36.000So I will put that an asterisk on that because I don't believe everything the FBI says.
00:18:40.000But this is a Pulitzer Prize winner on the King biography.
00:18:45.000Said, quote, a group met in a hotel room and discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts.
00:18:54.000When one of the women protested that she did not approve of this, the Baptist minister immediately and forcibly raped her.
00:19:01.000The type summary states parenthetically, saying that, quote, Martin Luther King looked on, laughed, and offered advice while the woman was raped.
00:19:13.000Well, I believe it because in Ralph Abernathy's book, And the Walls Came Tumbling Down, he talked about the night before King died after he gave the mountaintop speech.
00:19:22.000And he said that he went over, they said that they went to Reverend Benjamin Hook's house for dinner.
00:19:29.000That was a cover story, but that wasn't true.
00:19:31.000He said, they actually went to this one woman's house and King slept with her.
00:19:34.000Then they went to the Lorraine Motel and he met with the first female black senator from Georgia.
00:20:02.000So, this looks like this was part of King's behavior.
00:20:04.000He slept with two women that night, then he beat up a third woman the night before he got shot.
00:20:11.000So, and about these FBI files, I'm going to tell you, Charlie, why I believe them.
00:20:16.000You and I know that they have the suicide letter in these FBI files.
00:20:21.000Whether the FBI sent King a note with sex tapes in it telling them that they were going to release all this stuff if he didn't commit suicide.
00:20:28.000If these guys were going to lie about something, they would have lied about that.
00:20:33.000They would have taken that suicide letter out or they would have redacted it or something.
00:20:37.000If you're going to put a letter in the file that says you told a guy to kill himself, you're going to put everything in the file.
00:20:45.000So, if you read the books of the people that know King best, you'll see that this type of behavior that the FBI is talking about was something that they all knew he did and that they all validated.
00:21:03.000Look at the condition of the black community, and you'll see that it was led by a bunch of liars, perverts, psychopaths, and anti-Christian bigots.
00:21:11.000And one last thing: King was excommunicated from the Black church in 1961.
00:21:16.000So, people think that King was a southern black preacher.
00:21:18.000He was excommunicated from the National Baptist Convention in 1961 because he tried to take over the National Baptist Convention for the Civil Rights Movement.
00:21:26.000They had a bishop by the name of Bishop Jackson that didn't want this to happen.
00:21:29.000So, at the convention in Kansas City in 1961, King and his boys decided to try to force a floor vote on the floor.
00:21:37.000They got into a fist fight and they killed a preacher on the floor at the convention in 1961.
00:22:37.000So, Martin Luther King Jr. was excommunicated from the Black church, got the Margaret Sanger Award for setting up abortion clinics in the Black community, and put the Man Out Clause in welfare that basically destroyed the Black family.
00:22:53.000And if you go to his monument right now in Washington, C. Washington, D.C., and look for anything on that monument, all the nice quotes and everything, there's nothing on that monument that mentions God anywhere.
00:23:06.000It doesn't even mention that a reverend.
00:24:30.000And a bunch of young hippies broke into the FBI office and stole the Cointemporal tapes and files, I mean, and then turned them over to the Washington Post.
00:24:37.000And the Washington Post printed some of them.
00:24:40.000And so a federal judge has taken these files and he sealed them until for 50 years until 2027.
00:27:11.000The quote that he's best known for, content of character, color of the skin, was actually not a good summary of his worldview or his actions or his political.
00:28:00.000He wanted to use the government to come and put a gun to people's heads and tell them, you're going to do this, and you're going to accept people, you're going to do that, or we're going to put you in jail, or we're going to fine you, or we're going to shut you down, or we're going to close you down.

00:29:19.000I'm going to read a quote here from MLK.
00:29:21.000Now, understandably, towards the end of his life, before he was assassinated, he became more and more of a cheerleader for redistributionism, of property confiscation.
00:30:33.000He was like Vito Foleon and the Godfather, you know, when it first came on and Michael told Kay the story of how Vito took this big bodyguard by the name of Luga Rossi down and put the gun to the head of the band leader and told him either his brains or his name was going to be on the contract to let his godson go.
00:30:52.000When Martin Luther King says, I want to eat a hamburger down south, man says no.
00:30:56.000He says, I'm going to go get the federal government and put a gun in your head.
00:31:00.000If Vito Foleone was violent, how was King not violent?
00:31:04.000Charlie, I'm telling you, I want you beat up.
00:32:05.000But don't you take my love and my kindness for weakness.
00:32:09.000See, the reason why so many young black men went to the nation of Islam back in the 70s and the 60s was because Martin Luther King Jr. them told them that Christianity was about laying down and getting a hellbeat out of you.
00:32:20.000Allowing white folks to beat you and stump you and rape your children and rape your wives.
00:32:25.000He ran so many young black folks out of Christianity because they said, I am not going to do that because it was a bastardized southern slave master plantation version of Christianity that was not true.
00:32:40.000You are supposed to protect what you love.
00:32:42.000You're supposed to tend to what you love.
00:32:45.000The first concept of love is do no self-harm and don't let nobody harm anything that you love.
00:32:53.000But instead, we were letting them beat us, kill us, rape us.
00:32:57.000And a lot of young black folks love Christianity because of it.
00:33:52.000But LBJ, being the politician, said, you got to go and sell this to the civil rights community.
00:33:56.000So McGeorge Bundy was over the Ford Foundation at that time.
00:34:01.000He told Moynahan that we are sponsoring a retreat for the civil rights community.
00:34:06.000Come with me down there and present your findings to them.
00:34:09.000McGeorge Bundy, Moynihan went down there, met with Martin Luther King Jr. and the members of the civil rights community.
00:34:16.000According to David Garrow, McGeorge Bundy said, it's a wonder Moynihan got out of that room alive.
00:34:22.000They call him everything but a child of God, cussed him out, called him a racist.
00:34:27.000Moynahan goes back to LBJ and said, man, these people are crazy.
00:34:30.000We can't have nothing to do with them.
00:34:31.000LBJ said we got to do what they said do.
00:34:34.000They came back and met with LBJ and the feminists in the movement said, instead of taking the federal government to put the man back in charge of his family, we need to use it to get the man out because marriage is just like slavery.
00:34:48.000And instead of putting and fixing the welfare state where women could get welfare if they got married, they changed it to where if they caught a man in the house, she could get no help.
00:34:58.000And in one generation, the black community was having 80% of their children in wedlock to 80% being born out of wedlock.
00:35:05.000And they put the man in-house clause in welfare and it destroyed the black family.
00:35:09.000And Martin Luther King Jr.'s fingerprints were all on it.
00:35:12.000And Ralph Abernathy wrote, and the walls came tumbling down.
00:35:15.000He said that in the late 70s, he went to the black people in Congress and showed them how welfare was destroying the black community, how it was keeping three generations of black people in poverty.
00:35:29.000And Ralph Abernathy wrote this in his book.
00:35:31.000He said, and something curious happened.
00:35:33.000It pleased them to have two or three generations of black people locked in poverty because that's how they could control them.
00:35:42.000Ralph said that they were pushing segregation because this is how they could keep all black people in the inner city and could keep their positions of power in government.
00:35:51.000And that's when Ralph Abernathy said that he supported Ronald Reagan for president in 1980.
00:35:56.000So it's always been part of their job to keep black people poor, ignorant, under their control, and voting for the Democrat Party.
00:36:04.000In my first book, The Iron Triangle, I said that the Black preacher, the Black politician, and the Black civil rights worker are conduits between rich white liberals and the Democrat Party.
00:36:16.000And their job is to do one thing: make sure that the Black community votes for the Democratic Party by hook or by crook.
00:36:22.000And they've been doing it well for the last 40, 50 years.
00:36:25.000But there's a change coming now, Charlie.
00:36:29.000About 61% of Black people now support Joe Biden.
00:36:33.000And there's a panic in the Democrat Party.
00:36:35.000And that 61%, it dropped from 90% in 2020 to about 61% now.
00:36:42.000And that's happening because of people like you, Candace Owens, me, Officer Brandon Tater, us going out there every day and grinding and grinding and grinding.
00:36:57.000When I said that we were going to do this MLK segment, I'd say the number one piece of critical feedback I received, and that's fine, is Charlie, you're going to turn off black voters if you dare tell the truth about MLK.
00:37:26.000I just say, I think it's so incredibly bigoted and racist that you like when someone says, oh, you know, you're going to upset the balance of blacks coming our way if you dare tell the truth.
00:37:36.000No, what kind of silly, strange, bizarre, bigoted argument?
00:37:40.000In fact, I think it's the opposite, Vince.
00:37:42.000What I've learned over the last couple of years is pursuing the tough topics actually builds our movement.
00:37:48.000It strengthens our movement because the truth will set you free.
00:37:54.000You know, I've been saying since you know me that the Democratic Party is controlled by a couple of perverts, liars, psychopaths, and anti-Christian bigots.
00:39:13.000James Bevel, the guy that was in control of all of the marching and all of the organizing.
00:39:19.000James Bevel went to jail for raping his daughters.
00:39:23.000You saw what Jesse Jackson did after a king got assassinated.
00:39:28.000He slipped away, got a t-shirt, put fake blood on it, went on every TV show the next day and said he held Baldwin King Jr. while he died, saying, Dr. King, can you hear me?
00:40:13.000David Garrett wrote about this situation where Dr. King and Clara Ward, the black gospel singer, bought this white prostitute named Gail, took up to a hotel room.
00:40:25.000Dr. King called one of his pastor friends and said, man, I got this white girl.
00:40:30.000And Gail told the FBI about how they ran trains on her all night long, how they were drunk, and it was the worst orgy she'd ever been in.
00:40:38.000This man is supposed to be saving prostitutes.
00:40:40.000This man is supposed to be healing them and freeing their souls.
00:40:46.000This man is supposed to be baptizing every communist, every socialist, every atheist that came around Martin Luther King Jr. was supposed to have been changed.
00:40:55.000Instead, he was engaging in the foul behavior.
00:41:00.000And now look at the black community at the bottom of every socioeconomic statistic in the world.
00:42:15.000And race Marxism certainly is not the pathway.
00:42:18.000So, Vince, I typically wouldn't put my guests on the spot to respond to this, but it's so overwhelming where the shallow criticism people are launching towards me is Charlie is racist.
00:42:46.000A educated free man cannot be a slave.
00:42:49.000A man that believes that his power comes from God, comes from Jesus Christ, comes from his own self that's independent and free, cannot be a slave.
00:42:58.000And unless you pull all of that out of him, he will not vote for the Democratic Party.
00:43:02.000The Democratic Party was a part of slavery from 1800 to 1860.
00:43:06.000It was a party of Jim Crow from 1860 to 1850.
00:43:08.000It was a part of the Confederacy from 1860 to 1865.
00:43:11.000It was a part of Jim Crow from 1865 to 1970.
00:43:15.000They've always gained their power by beating down black people.
00:43:19.000And now they're the part of socialism, the party of Marxism, party of abortion, party of transgenderism.
00:43:25.000They have to make you a victim in order to succeed.
00:43:28.000And the way they make us victims is to tell us that we have to depend on them and beg them for everything.
00:45:10.000Well, when they start thinking like me, they're offered it and they say offer it for good.
00:45:14.000And that's why the Democratic Party is going to start losing because black people are getting off their plantation and they're going to be free.
00:45:36.000Man, Joe Biden is the worst president since James Buchanan.
00:45:42.000He has allowed drag queens to go into the schools and shake their behinds in their children's faces.
00:45:46.000He wants your children to transition without the parents' permission.
00:45:49.000He wants to put pornography in the schools.
00:45:51.000He wants to murder children up to the ninth month.
00:45:53.000He wants to cut off little breasts, the breasts of little girls and call them little boys, castrate little boys and call them little girls.
00:47:08.000For years, I've been talking about our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues, especially true if you're a Christian family.
00:47:14.000For those of you worried about the best educational path to your kids and grandkids, I want to tell you about how Turning Point Academy is working with the Herzog Foundation, how you at home can also benefit from it.
00:47:23.000They have an online publication called The Lion, and also making the leap.
00:47:26.000The Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your kids.
00:48:58.000I think, obviously, Jim Crow, as it existed in the South still in the 50s and early 60s, in terms of restrictions on voting, segregated buses, segregated public spaces.
00:49:24.000But MLK himself was a nonviolent person who always promoted nonviolence.
00:49:29.000He rejected, he enraged a lot of people on his own side who wanted to be more like violent revolutionaries, who really idolized, you know, these insane whack jobs in Russia or China.
00:49:54.000But he also didn't write, but he says he delivered it.
00:49:58.000And he gives other speeches as well that are looking towards a colorblind world.
00:50:05.000He does, in his Poor People's Campaign, which is his last big campaign before his assassination, a lot of what he says is, you know, saying, there is, you know, we can't prioritize poor black people over poor white people.
00:50:17.000Poor white people are exploited as well.
00:50:19.000He does, he rejects quite a few opportunities to be a big racial demagogue like we might see in a lot of societies, a lot of times, a lot of places.
00:50:30.000I don't think it would be bad to view Martin Luther King as a great figure of the 20th century, even, you know, accounting for the fact that he has a lot of political views we find abhorrent.
00:50:40.000You know, within the context of that, a lot of countries have really bad racial disasters that boil over into outright civil wars, major bloodshed.
00:50:50.000And he helps keep that from happening in America, at least for a while.
00:50:55.000And we have like an explosion of crime, but it's not the same thing as a true uprising.
00:51:11.000He is the figure of the 20th century, possibly the greatest American of all time, possibly one of the greatest humans to ever live, possibly a saint, possibly divinely inspired, according to not a lot of people, but like 19 guys or so at a theology conference proposed that he should be in the Bible.
00:51:29.000And this is the reason why we don't quite know, but the fact is this, is that when he died, he was unpopular, and he has now become supernaturally popular.
00:51:40.00096% approval, and that's higher than Jesus.
00:51:48.000But I want to just reiterate how this all tied in with civil rights, the implications of the Civil Rights Act, the kind of DEI bureaucracy as we know it today.
00:52:00.000But we also must acknowledge that he was a very smooth communicator.
00:52:04.000He had a gift for the spoken word, right?
00:52:54.000In that one, he's saying, if we're wrong, that the segregation is evil, that they can't be arresting us for wanting to have a seat on the bus.
00:53:04.000If we are wrong, the Supreme Court of the United States is wrong.
00:53:07.000If we are wrong, the Constitution of the United States is wrong.
00:53:10.000If we are wrong, God Almighty is wrong.
00:53:12.000If we are wrong, Jesus of Nazareth was just a utopian dreamer who did not come down from heaven.
00:53:18.000I might be missing a line or two there, but that's a good sentiment.
00:53:22.000And he even says, we should be thankful, even as we protest.
00:54:39.000You have thousands of buildings getting burned down all over the country.
00:54:44.000And his reaction to it, I've got it here, just a moment.
00:54:48.000His reaction to it is sort of, it's interesting.
00:54:51.000So first of all, spring of 67, a few months before is when he delivers the line, a riot is the language of the unheard, which we heard over and over again in 2020.
00:55:00.000And then when the Newark riots happened, it goes for like a week.
00:55:05.000And his advisor, the communist guy, who was with the Communist Party USA, he's telling King, you've got to say something to condemn this.
00:55:13.000And King says he doesn't want to do it because he says, I don't want to deliver a condemnation without also condemning the causes that lead to riots.
00:56:35.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.

00:58:30.000Blake, I want to riff on this with you.
00:58:32.000And I wrote this, and you did a good job of editing it, and we went back and forth throughout the weekend, which is the myth of MLK is actually really admirable.
00:58:43.000This idea that there was a 1960s preacher who was committed to nonviolence and resisted the calls of overly dividing America and wanted a merit-based society was always really appealing and I think is appealing to a lot of people.
00:58:59.000In addition, Blake, in the 1980s, when Reagan signed in MLK as a national holiday, which was a very big controversy at the time because MLK was not well liked in the 80s, he still had very low approval rating.
00:59:12.000Is that I think one of the reasons why conservatives were willing to take on the MLK thing is because it allowed this point to be made, which is like, hey, we used to be super racist.
01:00:09.000And it's sort of the myth, though, is so important to this because what you said at the top of the hour, you know, kindergarten teachers read books about MLK to kids is possibly the first education they get in American history, in American civics, in social studies, as they call it now, is the MLK story.
01:00:29.000And it's this very simple morality fable.
01:00:32.000It's that America was a racist country where white people hated black people.
01:00:38.000And then MLK came along and essentially said, what if we don't do that?
01:02:17.000And so these become, if we imagine him as a religious figure, then these are the scriptures that go with him, along with his own speeches and writings.
01:02:35.000This is the new rule that you live by.
01:02:38.000And what this does is it puts these laws beyond question, especially when they have a name like Civil Rights Act of 1964.
01:02:44.000So it's a name that just invites treating it very sacredly.
01:02:48.000But these are laws that have ramifications.
01:02:52.000And as conservatives increasingly realize the ramifications of these laws are very powerful and kind of vary against a lot of things we believe in about the American system.
01:03:03.000And they're most directly against this colorblind world that conservatives think MLK brought.
01:03:20.000I would have been like lost in the clouds.
01:03:21.000Like, I don't understand because I would have been, and I'm just being very honest, I would have been a prisoner of my own limiting beliefs.
01:03:27.000And it took years for me to get to the place where understand that the promise of color blindness is one of the reasons why people would say, yes, I support the Civil Rights Act.
01:03:37.000But in reality, the language and the application of the Civil Rights Act is the opposite.
01:03:43.000It's a color preference act, not a color blindness.
01:03:48.000And not to mention the whole trans wrinkle here.
01:03:52.000One of the reasons why it's so hard to kick men out of female locker rooms is because of the Civil Rights Act.
01:05:15.000The question is: should you build this massive federal leviathan and bureaucracy to come in with force to then shut down private businesses and tell businesses what they can do?
01:05:25.000Barry Goldwater warned against what will happen if you create this massive bureaucracy.
01:05:30.000Now, going forward, immediately the effects were not totally felt, right?
01:05:34.000We had the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and then the Great Society.
01:05:37.000And now, we can say that despite the good intentions behind all three, and there might have been good intentions or bad intentions, definitely the Great Society has impoverished black America and addicted them to government benefits.
01:05:48.000Just so everyone knows at home, when the Great Society was passed, 25% of black babies were born out of wedlock.
01:05:54.000Now it's well over 75% post the passage of the Great Society Act.
01:06:01.000The Voting Rights Act, we all support people's right to vote.
01:06:03.000However, embedded in the Voting Rights Act with this idea of disparate income and disparate impact, I should say, we can't get voter ID in most states where we want it because of the Voting Rights Act.
01:06:24.000The Voting Rights Act in about 15 years ago, Eric Holder, Justice Department, there was a town in North Carolina and they adopted nonpartisan elections.
01:06:33.000You don't have a party linked with your name.
01:06:36.000And the Justice Department tried to block this, saying, if you do this, blacks won't know who the Democrat is, and black people have the right to know who the Democrat is because Democrats are the party of black people.
01:06:49.000And they did this using the Voting Rights Act.
01:06:56.000And then I want you to riff on this, which is MLK established this, whether wittingly or unwittingly, we don't know.
01:07:02.000But he definitely had redistributive, you could call them Marxist, race Marxist tendencies and was never satisfied.
01:07:08.000These beasts, these monster-type government institutions that has kind of, they've kind of flown below the radar up until Obama, Floyd, Ferguson, where now we see it completely unleashed on the American people.
01:07:28.000Yeah, so Tesla, there's all there's first, there's a bunch of lawsuits against Tesla.
01:07:33.000You might remember a verdict a year or two ago where they got hit for like $500 million because they had a facility, which I believe was a contractor in the first place.
01:07:43.000This was not directly managed by Elon Musk or anything, where they had black employees and Hispanic employees.
01:07:50.000And the Hispanic employees had some sort of like running racial dispute with some of the black employees.
01:07:58.000I think a slur was written in an elevator.
01:08:00.000And so they say, this is a hostile work environment under the Civil Rights Act, millions of dollars.
01:08:06.000And then after that verdict, now the Biden administration came out about four months ago and sued them, saying you've created a hostile work environment because employees were subject to slurs and stereotyping.
01:08:18.000They encountered stereotyping, so it violated federal law.
01:09:11.000And now you're required to pay out settlement or damages to all the people who weren't hired as a result of this.
01:09:16.000So you have these people who failed this test 10 times because they're morons.
01:09:21.000And they're getting paid $2 million settlements because they have to pretend that these people should have been teachers for 20 years, except they were wrongly denied by this racist test.
01:09:30.000This is a product of the Civil Rights Act.
01:09:32.000I want to step back a bit to say why this is the case.
01:09:35.000Civil Rights Act just says you can't discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, a few other categories.
01:09:44.000And it just says you can't discriminate.
01:09:47.000And what most people thought they were getting was they thought, okay, we have this vestigial Jim Crow that's still going on in Alabama and Mississippi.
01:09:57.000They're being really, you know, they're not going along with this.
01:10:08.000What they got was very quickly, you know, it creates these organizations people weren't thinking much about, the EEOC, Equal Employment Opportunity Committee.
01:10:16.000Any employer will tell you is a beast.
01:10:19.000Because it's now got thousands of people and essentially an unlimited budget to just, it can kind of go and harass whoever they want.
01:10:25.000There's an academic, I think Gail Harrot is her name, who basically pointed out that the Civil Rights Act makes everything illegal because it says you can't do a thing that is racially discriminatory.
01:10:37.000Well, how has the government defined it?
01:10:38.000The EEOC says anything you do that has a racial or sex-based or whatever unequal outcome by group that is not necessary.
01:11:08.000So they can argue that anything is not necessary for a job.
01:11:12.000We have this news story over the weekend that the FAA says, you know, not being mentally ill is not a necessary component to be an air traffic controller.
01:11:19.000So they can argue anything is unnecessary.
01:12:25.000In 1971, the Supreme Court makes it a part of constitutional law.
01:12:30.000They say in Griggs versus Duke power, disparate impact is law of the land.
01:12:34.000And so that's what the Civil Rights Act actually is.
01:12:38.000It is this law that is in place that says the federal government can have a massive bureaucracy that can go wherever it wants to private spaces.
01:12:46.000Any school, any business, with some exceptions, like it has to be a certain size.
01:12:50.000So if you have two people in your company, you're okay.
01:14:14.000And it's just all these things that the government does that are bizarre, that are so morally offensive to us, where they're saying you have to do these de facto quotas.
01:14:23.000You have to do, you know, you're hiring people so clearly on the basis of race.
01:14:29.000You're giving these benefits based on skin color.
01:14:31.000All this stuff that's like vilifying, you know, white people in the workplace, the DEI stuff.
01:14:37.000All of this comes downstream of the world created by this new constitution, as Caldwell calls it, of these civil rights laws in the 60s.
01:14:48.000So the more you read the literature of the time and the more you see how our current regime honors MLK, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, you start to realize, huh, we mention, worship, and platform the Civil Rights Act more than the American Constitution.
01:15:07.000And that's why I think Caldwell had a breakthrough.
01:15:09.000And you say, huh, MLK certainly gets more love than George Washington or Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin does.
01:15:21.000Think about how often they delegitimize the Constitution by saying, you know, these are these old white men who are slaveholders and they have this or that moral offense.
01:15:29.000They didn't like Indians, all these bad things.
01:15:32.000No one ever does that with MLK, even though he has his own moral offenses.
01:15:36.000I don't think that defines him entirely, but we discussed it in the last five years.
01:15:40.000We say he has become, and Vince agreed, a pseudo-religious figure, is that there's a sainthood around him.
01:15:50.000And by the way, you and I both know myths are okay for a society.
01:15:54.000We'll tolerate myths, but tell us it's a myth.
01:16:39.000And Relief Factor was developed by Doctor Searching for a better alternative for pain.

01:17:36.000We want a society that strives towards excellence, not equity.
01:17:41.000And yet the present reality, not the ideal, the reality of the Civil Rights Act and how it's being used is making it harder for us to pursue excellence as a society.
01:17:53.000As we described, it's interpreted by the courts, by the bureaucracy, and how they enforce it is actually this thing that says you can't discriminate requires discrimination.
01:18:03.000You have to discriminate against men, against white people.
01:18:06.000You have to give special benefits to these groups to try to create this sort of weird, mutant, idealized everyone has the same outcome society.
01:18:28.000It's screwing up our, like the FAA again, that over the weekend, they're trying to hire people with mental illnesses and intellectual disabilities to these air traffic controller jobs.
01:18:39.000That's eventually going to kill people.
01:19:03.000We ask you to reconsider the reality of what it actually is, not this abstraction that you've been living under.
01:19:09.000If you're out of school and you feel weird that you're getting this anti-white propaganda during your student orientation, if you're in a workplace and you're wondering, why am I getting these DEI lectures that are clearly just Democrat Party talking points imposed on me at work?
01:19:25.000And if I say something about it, I could get fired.
01:19:55.000They're the holy text of modern America.
01:19:57.000And, you know, you were saying we have a lot of people who are really excited by what we're saying and agree with it, but there's a lot of people questioning this, saying some people just disagree with it, but some people just say technologically it's bad.
01:20:09.000I'd say that there's a couple dozen people in center-right intelligentsia.
01:20:13.000And when I press some of them, respectfully, they say, but it's just not popular.
01:20:40.000And fundamentally, a huge barrier to, as conservatives, us getting the changes we want is that we have this second constitution that we live under.
01:21:00.000If you want that, you have to be willing to kind of question the mythical MLK.
01:21:04.000I want to, as we come to completion here, Blake mentioned the most, if you're just one takeaway from this big, big segment we've done, which is you have two constitutions, whether you like it or not.
01:21:13.000You have the American Constitution and the Civil Rights Constitution.
01:21:17.000And the Civil Rights Constitution is at odds with so many of the coral eternal promises of the American Constitution.
01:21:23.000And they're certainly so with the kind of red guard DEI enforcement wing.
01:21:29.000Now it's completely out of control, completely out of control.
01:21:32.000And what so many people with good intentions thought they were getting, which is a colorblind, merit-based society, we now have a color-obsessed, merit-de-emphasized society.
01:21:46.000If you aren't willing to accept the moral framework that the left has built for America today, they're going to be able to control everything that you think.
