00:00:27.000 Hey everybody, is racism a public health crisis?

00:00:30.000 The Center for Disease Control says it is.

00:00:33.000 I'm going to go through some specific points of why they are making this case, despite the evidence pointing to the contrary.

00:00:56.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:57.000 Here we go.

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

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

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

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

00:01:09.000 I want to thank Charlie.

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

00:01:11.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:19.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

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

00:01:31.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is the number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?

00:01:37.000 My work schedule has been really hectic.

00:01:39.000 You guys all know that.

00:01:40.000 And I'm noticing it starting to wear me down.

00:01:42.000 Even when I'm getting all my workouts in, I find it that I can still feel like I'm somewhat stressed.

00:01:47.000 That's why I'm excited to share more about a magnesium product I discovered.

00:01:51.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactions in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.

00:01:56.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.

00:02:02.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and not full spectrum.

00:02:06.000 When you get seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.

00:02:11.000 With this one simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, be more productive, and feel less anxious.

00:02:17.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:02:37.000 A lot to get to today, but I want to start with a story that is probably not the lead for most people, but I think it's something that is very worthy of your attention and concern.

00:02:51.000 The Center for Disease Control has been politicized.

00:02:54.000 We know that.

00:02:55.000 The Center for Disease Control is typically about communicable diseases or the general health of the public.

00:03:04.000 Now, how this is a necessary function of government to the extent that it's gone is beyond me.

00:03:10.000 However, the CDC, which is about the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, instead of talking about diabetes, heart disease, eating correctly, more exercise, we now have a radical, unproven philosophy, critical race theory, that is running our entire government.

00:03:38.000 The CDC director says racism is a serious public health threat.

00:03:45.000 Says here, quote, a growing body of research shows that centuries of racism in this country has had a profound and negative impact on communities of color.

00:03:53.000 That's not true.

00:03:54.000 It's not true.

00:03:56.000 Read Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Sowell.

00:03:59.000 Just because there is a disparity does not mean that discrimination is to blame.

00:04:05.000 The fatherless epidemic in the black community is a serious public health threat.

00:04:10.000 You want to know what's keeping black people down? 0.98

00:04:12.000 It's not racism. 0.94

00:04:14.000 It's government programs, failing public schools, Democrat policies, and the lack of fathers in the home, the lack of police on the streets, lack of direction with young black men.

00:04:26.000 But our government is now saying this: quote, to build a healthier America for all, we must confront the systems and policies, are these dangerous that have resulted in the generational injustice that have given rise to the racial and ethnic health inequities. 0.56

00:04:44.000 What are they really saying here?

00:04:46.000 Let's deconstruct this together.

00:04:47.000 This is the center for disease control, everybody.

00:04:51.000 This is not the center for social justice.

00:04:54.000 This is not the center for racial equity. 0.91

00:04:57.000 I don't know if we have one of those, but I'm sure we do.

00:05:00.000 We must confront the systems and policies.

00:05:05.000 What does that mean?

00:05:07.000 Systems and policies.

00:05:09.000 Everything that we hold dear.

00:05:12.000 Private property, markets, ability to work and earn your own money, freedom of speech, the Constitution.

00:05:21.000 What they're doing here is they are framing the argument that the deconstruction of Western civilization is necessary to solve a public health crisis.

00:05:34.000 So why is this happening?

00:05:36.000 Well, two things.

00:05:39.000 Number one, we have a crisis-seeking industry in America.

00:05:45.000 You see, the people that perpetually want more power for themselves, they crisis hop.

00:05:50.000 They hop from one crisis to the other.

00:05:53.000 The environmental crisis, the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

00:05:59.000 A crisis allows you to justify a power grab.

00:06:04.000 There's nothing quite like a crisis that makes you feel more self-important and act like a totalitarian.

00:06:12.000 A crisis generally means that the public will give up their freedoms and liberties.

00:06:19.000 There's something even deeper going on here, though.

00:06:21.000 As the CDC director says, racism is a serious public health threat, they are now blending two of their most effective strategies.

00:06:31.000 The fact that Americans will not question the science when it comes from anything from the CDC, despite the fact the CDC has lied to you about basically everything over the last year.

00:06:41.000 The CDC has been wrong about almost everything contributing to a serious mental health crisis, a suicide epidemic, alcoholism, drug usage, self-worth issues with young people.

00:06:54.000 40% of small businesses being closed, and the lockdowns did nothing.

00:06:58.000 Let me say that again.

00:06:59.000 The lockdowns did nothing to actually improve the well-being of our country.

00:07:05.000 But the CDC now knows that Americans would rather be safe than free, and that safetyism is the predominant viewpoint in America.

00:07:16.000 And they also know that Americans will not challenge this idea that America is systemically racist.

00:07:26.000 Just won't.

00:07:29.000 If you follow our speeches, you know that I've been saying this on our podcast as well, quite often.

00:07:35.000 One of the most powerful weapons used by the left, it's almost, it's a way to paralyze conservatives, is potentially to say, you're a racist.

00:07:47.000 You will find obedience with the threat of possibly being called the R-word.

00:07:55.000 So the CDC says, quote, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disproportionately plague black and brown communities, which, by the way, is a very misleading statement.

00:08:06.000 It's not true.

00:08:07.000 The virus impacts everyone equally.

00:08:11.000 Certain communities have higher likelihood to have comorbidities based on income level, not on race.

00:08:19.000 It's a very misleading narrative that has been going on in our country.

00:08:25.000 I want to read this.

00:08:26.000 I want to read this outside of this.

00:08:28.000 If I just read this to you, this is from our government, by the way.

00:08:31.000 No, I'm sorry, this is from the AMA, the American Medical Association that is headquartered in downtown Chicago.

00:08:37.000 These are supposed to be doctors.

00:08:41.000 Scientific method.

00:08:43.000 Challenge your premise.

00:08:46.000 I want to read this.

00:08:47.000 I want to just close your eyes.

00:08:49.000 Well, if you're driving, don't close your eyes.

00:08:51.000 But if you're able to close your eyes, listen to this statement here and think to yourself, is this a doctor or is this a Marxist?

00:09:05.000 It's clear that collective action from all stakeholders, let me say that again, that collective action from all stakeholders is needed to dismantle systemic racism, confront, embed, and advance equity across our healthcare system.

00:09:25.000 This is the president of the American Medical Association, Susan Bailey.

00:09:31.000 Someone asked me the other day, Charlie, I want to be a doctor.

00:09:33.000 I said, I don't know if you want to be a doctor right now.

00:09:36.000 Someone said the other day, Charlie, I want to be in the military.

00:09:39.000 I said, I don't know if you want to do that right now.

00:09:42.000 This virus of wokeism is everywhere.

00:09:47.000 And if you dare stand up against it, they could end your career and make your life miserable.

00:09:54.000 So let me be clear.

00:09:55.000 The CDC, the Center for Disease Control, they're not issuing massive statements saying that the pharmaceutical industry is over-medicating our children.

00:10:04.000 Why doesn't the CDC say that lockdowns are a public health threat?

00:10:09.000 Why doesn't the CDC say that fatherlessness is a public health threat?

00:10:14.000 Why doesn't the CDC say that the moral decline is a public health threat?

00:10:20.000 Because none of those things necessitate more government.

00:10:25.000 That's why.

00:10:27.000 You see, if the CDC was honest and they said, make better choices, get married before you have kids, they'd be less important.

00:10:38.000 This is an exercise in power justification.

00:10:43.000 It's a power grab.

00:10:46.000 There's many questions I have.

00:10:48.000 How do you define racism, CDC?

00:10:51.000 They tell us, systemically.

00:10:54.000 It's not individual racism.

00:10:55.000 It's not person A being discriminating against person B.

00:10:58.000 No, it's the entire system.

00:11:01.000 Capitalism, free markets, deconstruct it all.

00:11:05.000 That's what they consider to be worthy of, in their own words, this is our government that says this.

00:11:14.000 We must confront the systems and policies.

00:11:20.000 The Center for Disease Control is advocating for a completely new society.

00:11:31.000 We all know that conservatives are getting kicked off of social media.

00:11:34.000 So why are we choosing to give all these tech companies all of our data?

00:11:38.000 Now is the time to take a stand.

00:11:40.000 Protect your personal data from big tech with the VPN I trust for my online protection, ExpressVPM.

00:11:46.000 You see, every device, whether you're on your phone, laptop, or television, has a unique string of numbers called an IP address.

00:11:51.000 When you search for stuff, watch videos, or even click a link, big tech companies can use that IP address to track all your activity and tie it back to you.

00:11:58.000 When I use ExpressVPN, my connection gets rerouted through their secure encrypted servers, so these companies can never see my IP address.

00:12:05.000 My internet activity becomes anonymized, and my network data is encrypted.

00:12:08.000 And the best part is you don't need to be tech savvy at all to use ExpressVPN.

00:12:12.000 Just download the app on your phone or computer, tap one button, and you're protected.

00:12:16.000 Protect your internet activity with the VPN I use every single day.

00:12:19.000 Visit expressvpn.com to get three extra months on a one-year package.

00:12:34.000 CDC says that racism is a serious public health threat.

00:12:39.000 I'm going to prove to you that not only is racism not a serious public health threat, it's the opposite.

00:12:45.000 It's not a public health threat at all.

00:12:47.000 And I'm going to prove it to you with one news story.

00:12:49.000 Here's what it is: Hate crime hoax.

00:12:52.000 Outrageously racist graffiti sparked days of protest. 0.88

00:12:55.000 A black student wrote them. 0.54

00:12:57.000 Albion College in Michigan.

00:13:00.000 I saw this story happen.

00:13:01.000 It was heating up the last couple days.

00:13:04.000 And it was all these ridiculously racist statements that were written on campus.

00:13:08.000 And I was suspicious as soon as I heard them.

00:13:10.000 Things like white power and other very graphic things were written all over campus.

00:13:14.000 The students lost their mind as soon as they saw these statements.

00:13:19.000 Protests.

00:13:21.000 Massive amount of outrage.

00:13:25.000 It turns out it was all a hoax.

00:13:27.000 It was Jussie Smollett made up.

00:13:30.000 It was similar to Bubba Wallace.

00:13:33.000 Bubba Wallace, was it Wallace?

00:13:34.000 Bubba Wallace?

00:13:34.000 Is that his name?

00:13:35.000 The NASCAR guy.

00:13:36.000 Bubba Wallace didn't actually create the hoax.

00:13:39.000 He just lied about it and misrepresented it intentionally.

00:13:43.000 It was treated as a hero. 0.73

00:13:45.000 Turns out that this was a black student who wanted attention. 0.51

00:13:50.000 So let me get this straight.

00:13:51.000 If racism was such a public health crisis, why is there a cottage industry of faking racist hate crimes?

00:14:00.000 If racism was such a problem, why do we have so many of these instances of people that are just completely fabricating these incidents?

00:14:10.000 In the 1920s, when blacks were being lynched by Southern Democrats, do you think that there was fake lynchings going on by blacks?

00:14:21.000 Do you think that there was a pattern of people making this stuff up? 0.98

00:14:25.000 And wait till you hear how this cowardly college responded to this. 0.94

00:14:30.000 It's stunning.

00:14:31.000 So Albion College, never heard of it before, admitted that the student was acting alone.

00:14:37.000 He made it all up himself. 0.68

00:14:38.000 It was a black student who did this graffiti. 0.80

00:14:41.000 So let me get this straight. 1.00

00:14:42.000 Why would a black student fake all of this stuff? 1.00

00:14:47.000 Well, because he wanted to be able to play the victim, which is the true currency of attention right now. 0.98

00:14:55.000 That in order to be treated at the highest level of praise, you must not do something good.

00:15:06.000 You must have something bad happen to you.

00:15:08.000 Think about that.

00:15:11.000 To be at the top of the hierarchy of praise in modern America, it's not about being a hero and overcoming adversity.

00:15:19.000 It's having something bad happen to you.

00:15:22.000 See how twisted that is?

00:15:23.000 So this guy, what's his name?

00:15:24.000 I don't even know if we have his name.

00:15:28.000 How do we not have this guy's name?

00:15:29.000 Are they protecting his name?

00:15:30.000 Is that right?

00:15:31.000 You fake a hate crime.

00:15:32.000 You don't get your name.

00:15:33.000 Find the name.

00:15:34.000 It's worthy of being said.

00:15:36.000 I can't see his name anywhere here.

00:15:38.000 Anyway, how the school responded is stunning.

00:15:43.000 Instead of blaming the black student and saying that he's a con man and he should be arrested for faking a hate crime, for preying on the best instincts of a community and young people, instead, Albion College said this, quote, this is another lesson of the significant history of racial pain and trauma on campus.

00:16:07.000 I'm reading from the Daily Wire.

00:16:10.000 The tweets suggested from the university the school needed to do more to fight racism, even though the charges of racism were false.

00:16:19.000 Further, the school did not acknowledge that the student who wrote the racist and anti-Semitic messages was black, allowing those who did not read news articles to assume the perpetrator was indeed a racist and white person.

00:16:30.000 This is what the school said. 0.89

00:16:31.000 So dishonest.

00:16:32.000 We know the acts of racism that have occurred this week are not about one particular person or particular incident.

00:16:38.000 Of course it is.

00:16:38.000 What are you talking about?

00:16:40.000 You had a black student of yours try to start a race war on campus.

00:16:46.000 We know that there is significant history of racial pain and trauma on campus, and we're taking action to repair our community.

00:16:54.000 There's a supply and demand problem when it comes to racism in America.

00:16:59.000 There's an incredible demand for racist incidents.

00:17:03.000 There's such a limited supply that there's a cottage industry to fabricate them.

00:17:08.000 There's a black market of racist incidents in America being run by con men like Jesse Smollett and this guy from Albion College.

00:17:16.000 There are so few racist incidents in America concocted by white people that you must now go create your own to go get the attention to get at the top level of the praise hierarchy in the activist media.

00:17:33.000 That's how you know that racism is not a serious public health threat when people are making it up.

00:17:38.000 It's the opposite of a serious public threat.

00:17:44.000 She is one of the most powerful voices for faith, family, and for freedom.

00:17:48.000 Someone I know very well.

00:17:49.000 We had a lot of fun together for a couple years at Turning Point USA and she's doing awesome and she's a frequent guest of the show.

00:17:56.000 We have an upcoming campus tour.

00:17:58.000 It's Candace Owens.

00:17:59.000 And I want to tell you, Candace has joined the powerful lineup at the Daily Wire, great company, launching a new show where Talk Show meets late night. 1.00

00:18:07.000 She'll continue to call out leftist lies and the corruption of media and big tech.

00:18:13.000 So join Candace each week as she welcomes powerful voices talk about the most critical issues, break down what's actually happening in our country.

00:18:21.000 And trust me, you're going to laugh a lot too.

00:18:24.000 Candace is unfiltered and quite honestly uncancelable.

00:18:28.000 Even as she says, all the things other on the right wing are afraid to say, Candace is a dear friend.

00:18:33.000 She's a fighter.

00:18:34.000 She loves our country.

00:18:34.000 And I know all of you love supporting Candace Owens.

00:18:38.000 So here's how you do it.

00:18:39.000 Her full show is available to Daily Wire members only.

00:19:05.000 Candace is a fighter. 0.54

00:19:06.000 She loves her country.

00:19:08.000 I've seen her and her commitment personally in what she's done.

00:19:13.000 And again, she's moved the dial so much.

00:19:15.000 So go to dailywire.com, use the code Charlie and get 25% off your Daily Wire membership now.

00:19:26.000 The left is finally figuring out how they're going to execute their decades-long power grab, the one they've desired since they got into politics.

00:19:38.000 They finally are figuring it out.

00:19:41.000 And they've realized that the weakness of decent society that sends people into almost an apoplectic shock is when you call everything racist.

00:19:56.000 This is something that is working for them.

00:20:01.000 And it was largely made mainstream because of the death of George Floyd.

00:20:10.000 Now, we've been on top of the George Floyd case and we've been playing some tape from it.

00:20:14.000 But what's really interesting to me is how the media has been covering this.

00:20:24.000 The media started by covering the George Floyd death as if this was 100% a first-degree racially profiled murder.

00:20:34.000 And then all the response from it justified their coverage.

00:20:42.000 But now, even the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, they're realizing that this case is not as simple as they originally portrayed it at all.

00:20:54.000 In fact, that this case of what's happening in Minneapolis is anything but simple.

00:21:05.000 Now, the question is: was that case of a drug addict who said he couldn't breathe seven times and asked to be on the ground with a police officer who probably acted over the top?

00:21:21.000 And we'll see if he's guilty of manslaughter.

00:21:24.000 Is that set of facts worthy of redefining our entire country?

00:21:30.000 Of course not.

00:21:33.000 The reason why the entire narrative of systemic racism has caught on to our country is that it gives people purpose.

00:21:41.000 People are lacking in purpose.

00:21:43.000 They're not getting married.

00:21:44.000 They're not having children like they used to.

00:21:46.000 They're lacking in a relationship with their creator.

00:21:50.000 They don't have meaningful work.

00:21:51.000 So their purpose is to radically revolutionize American society.

00:21:56.000 But here is why the ruling class and the people in charge, they love the issue of racism.

00:22:05.000 Four reasons.

00:22:08.000 Four reasons why they are going to keep on talking about this until we get enough courage to call out their nonsense and look at them in the eye and say, I don't care what you take from me, but you're not going to be able to take my country.

00:22:24.000 We're not doing that currently.

00:22:26.000 Currently, the people in charge of our country, or at least the rich people, like Ed Bastion, who runs Delta, or James Quincy, they say, take my country, just don't take my yacht.

00:22:39.000 See the difference?

00:22:42.000 What made World War II such a heroic moment for America is that the rich people in America said, take everything, but you're not going to take America.

00:22:53.000 I will contribute to war bonds.

00:22:55.000 I will sign up for service.

00:22:57.000 I will convert my manufacturing plant to make battleships, missiles, bullets, munitions, whatever it might take.

00:23:05.000 The rich people in America in the 1940s, they gave everything to the war effort.

00:23:10.000 Now, I'm not saying that we are in a same moment of crisis, but I am saying that we're a couple degrees separated from that.

00:23:19.000 That we're within the maxim of we're going to lose the country.

00:23:25.000 But instead, the people that are immeasurably blessed, they're worth $200,000, $300, $400 million.

00:23:34.000 Instead of saying, you know what?

00:23:36.000 I want to make sure that this nation, our home, continues on.

00:23:41.000 They're saying, destroy the place.

00:23:45.000 Just leave me alone.

00:23:47.000 And in a great irony, they're not going to be left alone.

00:23:50.000 They'll get eaten too.

00:23:53.000 Here's why the people in charge love the racism issue, though.

00:23:56.000 The people that want more power.

00:23:57.000 Number one, it's undefinable.

00:24:01.000 It's such a blanket term.

00:24:03.000 Racism.

00:24:04.000 Well, what is race?

00:24:05.000 It's everywhere.

00:24:06.000 It's in the air.

00:24:07.000 It's in the sky.

00:24:08.000 It's in the way you act.

00:24:11.000 Really?

00:24:12.000 Oh, well, how can I fix it?

00:24:14.000 Well, that's the other thing.

00:24:15.000 You can't.

00:24:16.000 The only way you can fix it is to destroy everything around you. 0.98

00:24:19.000 Go scorched earth. 0.99

00:24:20.000 Dresden your entire society. 0.93

00:24:22.000 That's basically their blueprint. 0.60

00:24:25.000 Robin D'Angelo, who writes White Fragility, if you read her book, she basically is like, you have to firebomb Western civilization, burn it down to the ground, and then you can maybe begin the process of saying you're a little bit less racist.

00:24:39.000 So that's number one.

00:24:40.000 It's undefinable.

00:24:42.000 Number two, the reason why they, the reason why, and for those of you that's tuning in, the Center for Disease Control says that racism is a serious public health threat, is number two, is that it makes you feel good.

00:24:53.000 You feel as if you are on a moral crusade when you're going up against racism.

00:24:58.000 You kind of get a little extra pep in your step.

00:25:01.000 You get a little bit of a, I'm a better person than you are.

00:25:05.000 You get a moral righteousness sets in.

00:25:09.000 The nose elevates a little bit.

00:25:12.000 The body posture, the vocabulary.

00:25:17.000 Because everyone else who doesn't agree with you, they're not wrong.

00:25:20.000 No, no, they're a bad person.

00:25:23.000 You feel good.

00:25:24.000 You see, some of the other social movements before, it's not as much of a virtue signaling.

00:25:30.000 The Occupy Wall Street movement didn't make people feel as good.

00:25:33.000 You know why?

00:25:35.000 It uninvolved rich people.

00:25:38.000 The reason why Occupy Wall Street didn't work is that it was targeted at rich people.

00:25:44.000 Even though this is still targeted at them, they've done an act of absolute political and philosophical brilliance.

00:25:54.000 The revolutionaries are involving the ruling class to have them destroy themselves because it makes them feel good.

00:26:03.000 Number three, why they are all united to continue this line that racism is a serious public health threat.

00:26:13.000 No one questions it.

00:26:16.000 They're afraid.

00:26:19.000 You say it, you mention it, and people stay silent.

00:26:23.000 It's one of the main reasons why we are filling up auditoriums across the country.

00:26:27.000 And the number one piece of feedback I receive is: Charlie, you say things I can't say.

00:26:32.000 And I say, I appreciate you saying that, but why are you shutting yourself up?

00:26:36.000 And they're shutting themselves up because their fear of backlash, job termination, losing friends and family.

00:26:42.000 But here's the fourth reason why they love this issue.

00:26:49.000 It might be the most important.

00:26:51.000 First is undefinable.

00:26:52.000 Second is it makes you feel good.

00:26:54.000 Number three, it's unquestioned.

00:26:56.000 Number four, which might be the most important.

00:27:00.000 There's no timeline to fix it.

00:27:04.000 It's unlimited.

00:27:06.000 Perpetual.

00:27:07.000 In perpetuity.

00:27:09.000 You read Robin D., it's the perfect business model, by the way.

00:27:12.000 If I were to create a racketeering scheme, I would have something that I could not define that makes people feel good, that no one could question.

00:27:26.000 And I say outwardly, we're never going to fix it.

00:27:30.000 What an incredible business model.

00:27:34.000 You see, it's not like the BP oil spill where they're saying, okay, the solution is once we clean up the oil in the Gulf.

00:27:42.000 Problem, solution.

00:27:44.000 Timeline, couple years.

00:27:47.000 It's not like Hurricane Katrina, where the levees are broken.

00:27:52.000 There's massive flooding and suffering.

00:27:54.000 Problem, solution, timeline to fix it.

00:27:59.000 This is completely different.

00:28:00.000 There's no timeline.

00:28:03.000 They tell us that we're never going to fix it.

00:28:06.000 So keep buying my books and have me coming back to speak and doing the seminar.

00:28:13.000 It's not rooted in solutions.

00:28:17.000 It's rooted in almost, it's like a monthly subscription to hate yourself.

00:28:27.000 It's subscribe to us and pay us.

00:28:32.000 BLM Incorporated, Robin D'Angelo, Taha Nisi Coates, all of the con people that run this entire industry, that sell textbooks to your children and your school boards.

00:28:32.000 And who's us?

00:28:43.000 And I found out, I couldn't believe this, and we're going to be airing this over the weekend.

00:28:47.000 And I know some people there, and there's some very decent people.

00:28:50.000 But Pepperdine University with student funds without the consent is buying white fragility by Robin DiAngelo. 0.56

00:29:00.000 Now, they pretend that they're a conservative university. 0.58

00:29:04.000 And I'm going to try to find out more information about this, but we were approached by this last night.

00:29:08.000 So I'm not picking on Pepperdine for any reason other than they say they're a conservative university.

00:29:14.000 And the head of the young Republicans there, who was at our Turning Point USA event, came and asked a question.

00:29:21.000 And we responded.

00:29:22.000 And I said, he asked the question, I'm sorry.

00:29:24.000 And he said, they are giving out Robin DiAngelo with my student fees against my will.

00:29:28.000 I said, they're giving out Robin DiAngelo.

00:29:33.000 And that's why they love this issue.

00:29:36.000 No one questions them.

00:29:38.000 They never have to define it.

00:29:41.000 Could you imagine having a problem you don't have to define?

00:29:46.000 You go into the doctor and the doctor says, you're going to have to pay me $10,000 a month because I'm a doctor, so don't question me.

00:29:57.000 And it's never going to end.

00:30:00.000 There's just a lot wrong with you, but I can't really tell you what it is.

00:30:04.000 What would you say if a doctor did that to you?

00:30:07.000 You think that doctor is a shakedown artist? 0.97

00:30:10.000 That's what they're doing.

00:30:12.000 They're saying your society and you have so many problems entrenched within you, we can't even define them.

00:30:19.000 And that's the Robin DiAngelo doctrine of critical race theory.

00:30:22.000 That racism is everywhere.

00:30:23.000 It's unquestioned.

00:30:24.000 It's in our system.

00:30:24.000 It's in our DNA.

00:30:26.000 And the only way you could get close to it is self-inflicted Dresden style slaughterhouse five, burn it all to the ground, cultural decline.

00:30:39.000 This is all a strategy. 0.99

00:30:41.000 And if you buy into this garbage or your friends do, you are being manipulated every time you see a Black Lives Matter flag. 0.99

00:30:48.000 Every time you see people try to pop their chest out and say that they're a better person than you. 0.99

00:30:55.000 It's a virtue signaling exercise to give people meaning and make powerful people have exercise authority over you.

00:31:04.000 That's why they're doing this.

00:31:05.000 That's why the CDC director is portraying this.

00:31:09.000 It's an unlimited power grab.

00:31:12.000 There is no better way to have power than to say there's a crisis and never give people a sunset clause.

00:31:25.000 Every totalitarian dictatorship in the 20th century started with a temporary crisis they couldn't define, and they never gave up power.

00:31:34.000 The importance of understanding this issue, the issue of why the left hyper-focuses on racism cannot be overstated.

00:31:45.000 It's all the other issues that they are trying to accomplish.

00:31:49.000 They use this issue as a shield, as an effective gateway to all the rest of them, whether it be on guns, on speech, you name it.

00:32:00.000 Their most effective tool right now is everything is racist tool.

00:32:06.000 And it's working because we as conservatives, we as Americans, we don't know how to properly respond to it.

00:32:12.000 I do, because I have stopped caring what they actually call me because I know who I am and I know whose I am. 0.60

00:32:20.000 For every Christian out there, you know what I mean by that.

00:32:24.000 But they are not resting.

00:32:28.000 I understand.

00:32:29.000 I say this often in the great Victor Davis Hansen, who we just did an entire podcast on yesterday.

00:32:33.000 I encourage you to check it out.

00:32:35.000 We have an exhausted civilization right now.

00:32:37.000 We do.

00:32:38.000 We have an exhausted civilization.

00:32:41.000 But understand that when the history is written on this, there will be a moment of time that is written from 2008 to 2024.

00:32:50.000 That will be called the window of populist people-driven politics.

00:32:56.000 Just understand that we're in a window of time.

00:32:59.000 And your exhaustion started in 2008 with Barack Obama.

00:33:06.000 Big promises, unifying, utopian vision.

00:33:09.000 None of it delivered.

00:33:10.000 Bitter drawn out conflict.

00:33:13.000 Trump was a response to that.

00:33:15.000 You were probably exhausted from that, whether you loved him or hated him.

00:33:18.000 So we are now in the overtime period.

00:33:21.000 Everyone's got their hands on the knees.

00:33:24.000 They're exhausted.

00:33:25.000 You say, I can't take it anymore.

00:33:26.000 It's a question of who wants it more.

00:33:28.000 I understand that people are exhausted.

00:33:31.000 I get it.

00:33:33.000 There's only a couple more quarters left on, only a couple more minutes left on the clock, and we might only have one quarter left to save the country and hopefully open up a new period where we can break out of this period of time when the left is just going for the jugular.

00:33:49.000 They feel inspired.

00:33:50.000 They feel convicted.

00:33:51.000 And they think they are close to turning the corner.

00:33:54.000 This is where we're at right now.

00:33:55.000 It's so important for you to recognize this.

00:33:57.000 And you're not going to get this opportunity again.

00:33:59.000 Not one of the greatest mistakes, and I'm not a historicist, I'm not a Hegelian, but I am going to say this, and you can take it however you want.

00:34:07.000 One of the biggest mistakes is to view every period of time equally.

00:34:10.000 It's not true.

00:34:12.000 Certain periods of time are more consequential than other periods of time.

00:34:17.000 Moments of World War II were just more important than 1956.

00:34:21.000 1956 was a great year.

00:34:23.000 It just wasn't as consequential as 1942.

00:34:26.000 It wasn't.

00:34:28.000 And the time right now is just going to be more consequential than the year 2006.

00:34:36.000 And so since we have this exhausted civilization where people are gasping and they say, I'm just going to watch Hulu.

00:34:43.000 I'm going to watch Netflix.

00:34:44.000 I'm done.

00:34:47.000 They know how they are going to do it.

00:34:49.000 Their playbook is very simple.

00:34:51.000 They're executing preemptive strikes.

00:34:55.000 The preemptive strikes is we are going to take chess pieces off the board, personalize politics, and destroy their lives.

00:35:02.000 We are going to call everything a racism public health threat for the four reasons that I detailed.

00:35:07.000 It's undefinable.

00:35:08.000 You feel good doing it.

00:35:10.000 It's unquestioned because no one has the guts or the courage to stand up against it.

00:35:13.000 And there's no timeline to fix it.

00:35:15.000 So it's a perpetual power grab.

00:35:16.000 The same way Mussolini got power, the same way Stalin got power, the same way Mao got power, the same way that Mugabe got power, the same way Castro got power, create a crisis that only you can fix, make it undefined, no timeline to actually get it done, no sunset clause, and stay in power indefinitely.

00:35:32.000 So, the question is: will the exhausted civilization, you right now listening, understand that this playbook is not just what's in front of us.

00:35:45.000 It's actually amazingly beatable.

00:35:48.000 This is all they got.

00:35:50.000 Their ideas are unpopular.

00:35:52.000 Their policies are not in broad support of the country.

00:35:58.000 And there's a reason this is happening.

00:36:00.000 They've grown impatient.

00:36:01.000 And if we prevent them from being able to turn the corner, we're going to win bigger than ever before.

00:36:07.000 If they turn this corner and they turn us into a one-party state like California or New York, then all of a sudden, 10 years from now, you're going to look back and say, I wish I would have done more when I was exhausted in the overtime period of the last gasp of the populist-centered moment in America.

00:36:22.000 You'll remember this time.

00:36:24.000 So, what are you going to do about it?
