00:00:44.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:46.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:48.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:51.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:55.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:56.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:57.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:58.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:05.000 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.

00:01:14.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:17.000 Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.

00:01:26.000 We are the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:01:29.000 No nation comes even close.

00:01:31.000 We have lifted more people out of poverty, given more people opportunity to flourish, to take risks, to succeed.

00:01:37.000 Our nation is so incredible that we try hard.

00:01:41.000 We underwrite the effort to try to find problems.

00:01:45.000 Now, we have problems that doesn't take a lot of effort to find our open border, our drug addiction issue, suicide epidemic.

00:01:53.000 But there's a real serious problem here, everybody, that we have to address.

00:01:57.000 There's a problem where I think we need a committee, probably a parade, a march, maybe even a riot.

00:02:04.000 I think this problem is such a big deal.

00:02:06.000 We might have to go burn down Wendy's. 0.63

00:02:09.000 In fact, it's such a big problem, it might mandate the theft of televisions. 0.94

00:02:14.000 It's such a big problem that soon I can start to see people change their profile picture on social media to no longer stand with Ukraine, but instead I stand with black millionaire donors. 0.98

00:02:28.000 What?

00:02:30.000 Well, according to the Associated Press, they have a new story. 0.97

00:02:35.000 America is so racist, we are so terrible that self-made black millionaires, they're victims of racism. 0.59

00:02:43.000 Emily Haynes from the Chronicle of Philanthropy for Associated Press writes an article here about millionaires of color.

00:02:52.000 And the article is this, quote, how racism still affects millionaires, donors of color.

00:02:57.000 So for those of you out there that are not millionaires that are working your tail off just to be able to pay the bills, the Associated Press wants you to know you're oppressing the millionaires.

00:03:08.000 Okay?

00:03:08.000 The millionaires that made it in America, they're oppressed.

00:03:14.000 I could just see it right now.

00:03:15.000 What do we stand for?

00:03:17.000 Freedom against who?

00:03:19.000 The middle class.

00:03:20.000 Why?

00:03:21.000 Because they're oppressing the millionaires. 0.99

00:03:24.000 What?

00:03:24.000 The Associated Press continues by saying that, quote, the finding of the study demonstrates ways that racism has affected the lives of millionaires of color, from the way they raise their families to the people and the causes they support.

00:03:40.000 So it opens up with this ridiculous anecdote.

00:03:42.000 Again, this is the Associated Press.

00:03:44.000 This is not some sort of Brown magazine, Brown University magazine article.

00:03:50.000 This is the Associated Press.

00:03:52.000 The story, I'm going to read this to you. 0.98

00:03:54.000 It's so ridiculous. 0.79

00:03:55.000 When philanthropist Mona Sinna walked into her first meeting on a museum advisory board, she immediately noticed that she was the youngest person in the room and the only person of color there. 0.92

00:04:04.000 Instead of being welcomed as a new colleague, fellow members of the advisory board asked her if she was a fundraiser for the museum.

00:04:11.000 Such experiences often make people of color feel unwelcome in philanthropy.

00:04:14.000 Let me just stop right here, okay?

00:04:15.000 So, you know how many times I've felt uncomfortable?

00:04:18.000 You know why she felt uncomfortable?

00:04:19.000 Not because of her color, because of her age.

00:04:22.000 Ageism is a very real thing.

00:04:24.000 There was nothing about race.

00:04:25.000 They were wondering why someone was so young that was there.

00:04:28.000 And that's the thing they don't want you to talk about here.

00:04:31.000 She was the youngest person in the room and also the only person of color.

00:04:35.000 Now, if they asked her to go get them cocktails, I'm on board for maybe like the racist stereotyping there. 1.00

00:04:43.000 But the fact that a young woman walks in and you don't automatically assume she must be a donor is less about skin color and more about the fact that she looks young.

00:04:53.000 Wait, hold on, let me get this straight.

00:04:54.000 So when you feel uncomfortable in a room because of your age, this is now warrants like an Associated Press article.

00:05:00.000 Not just an article, but the first paragraph in a front page article on the Associated Press.

00:05:06.000 You know how many times over the last 10 years I had to go into rooms of people that were 70 years my senior, 60 years my senior, and have to justify to them that I, oh, by the way, I didn't go to college.

00:05:17.000 Please give us money so that we could teach young people American values.

00:05:20.000 Yeah, I've had some uncomfortable conversations in my life.

00:05:22.000 I've had people say, you're not going to get this done.

00:05:26.000 I'm not going to support you.

00:05:28.000 I'm cynical.

00:05:28.000 I'm skeptical.

00:05:30.000 It's called life.

00:05:32.000 Continues by say, Sinna says the emotional tull of operating in a mostly white environment has discouraged many wealthy people of color from seeking out philanthropic leadership roles.

00:05:43.000 Quote, with many people, I find the discrimination over the years has so damaged self-worth that it's very hard to claim that spot.

00:05:49.000 Now, again, this is the peak of Western modernity.

00:05:54.000 That she says the discrimination she's felt as a millionaire is so damaging, it's so dehabilitating that she might have to go seek counseling because people don't treat her millionaire status well, and it must be because of racism.

00:06:12.000 A new qualitative analysis of 113 millionaires of color has found that nearly all had experienced racial or ethnic bias.

00:06:20.000 Holleen Lee says, quote, it's so obvious, but it's also very profound.

00:06:25.000 Co-founder of the Donors of Color Network.

00:06:29.000 Oh my goodness.

00:06:31.000 The study was released Wednesday by the Donors of Color Network.

00:06:35.000 Again, doesn't that sound like ridiculously racist?

00:06:39.000 Where do you work?

00:06:40.000 I work for the Donors of Color Network.

00:06:43.000 Well, that sounds really bigoted.

00:06:47.000 A membership organization for wealthy philanthropists from marginalized backgrounds, along with two consulting companies.

00:06:53.000 So let me just ask you, marginalized backgrounds.

00:06:55.000 So if you're a professional athlete, you could be part of the donor of color network.

00:07:00.000 How about Oprah?

00:07:02.000 From 2016 to 2018, Lee and the research team traveled to 10 U.S. cities and conducted 90-minute Conversations with donors.

00:07:07.000 Now, mind you, this is a qualitative study, not a quantitative study.

00:07:12.000 So it's very conversational.

00:07:13.000 Just put that out.

00:07:15.000 With donors of color who had a $1 million or more cash on hand, the result, the authors say, quote, is a qualitative snapshot rather than a representative sample.

00:07:23.000 Quote, people of color who are givers are bringing a different set of priorities to the table from their own life experience, said co-author reporter Urvashi Vide, who co-authored the Donors of Color Network and the president of the VIDE group.

00:07:38.000 So, you know, for that plumber military veteran who has four kids in Southeast Ohio that is just trying to make ends meet, making $60,000 a year, who is white and Christian and is a straight male, the Associated Press wants you to know you better stop being racist to black millionaires. 0.60

00:07:56.000 That you know the real problem is that for the white Marine that lives in Myrtle Beach, that is suffering from PTSD, who went and served overseas in war, the real problem in society is how you go treat the millionaire donors of color. 0.56

00:08:12.000 Vide points to the contributions of donors to social and racial causes.

00:08:17.000 Now, the most amazing part of this entire story is one of the great cell phones, and not cell phones, but self-owns ever in the history of journalism.

00:08:26.000 I've read this piece three times.

00:08:27.000 It's so extraordinary.

00:08:29.000 Because of course, the whole under, the whole narrative of this is that we have to have some sort of swan song, some sort of new victim group.

00:08:36.000 And the new victim group that we must have is not the handicapped, is not the mentally disabled, it's not veterans, it's not the victims of violent crime. 0.94

00:08:47.000 No, the new victim group are blacks and Hispanics that own private jets. 0.99

00:08:54.000 But here's the most amazing thing. 0.95

00:08:56.000 The most extraordinary part of the whole article.

00:08:59.000 And they just kind of sneak it in there.

00:09:01.000 It's this.

00:09:02.000 Another commonality among the donors is that 65% were self-made millionaires.

00:09:08.000 Wait, so America is so racist, it's so terrible that out of 113 black millionaires and Hispanic millionaires, over half, about 70 out of 113, started with nothing and they were able to become a millionaire.

00:09:23.000 Why exactly are we feeling sorry for them again?

00:09:25.000 What kind of, so wait, what kind of oppression did they experience?

00:09:28.000 If they made that money themselves, maybe walking into a museum board meeting where people think you might be the fundraiser because you're 29 years old, maybe that doesn't warrant an opening paragraph in the Associated Press.

00:09:40.000 That sounds like a journal in some sort of a therapist session, let alone a broadcast to millions of people from the Associated Press.

00:09:49.000 Cena, the philanthropist, put it this way.

00:09:51.000 As a donor of color, this is so amazing.

00:09:54.000 As a donor of color, we're often faced with the same barriers that many of our grantees are.

00:10:01.000 You hear that?

00:10:02.000 The millionaire that can fly around on a Gulf Stream, she's experiencing the same stuff as a black single mother in Philadelphia that has four kids and is trying to make ends meet. 0.99

00:10:12.000 You need to keep black millionaires in your prayers. 0.99

00:10:15.000 America is so racist. 0.98

00:10:17.000 It's tough. 0.94

00:10:18.000 It's tough to be a millionaire in America.

00:10:23.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:10:25.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.

00:10:28.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:10:30.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:10:35.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:10:40.000 They are on a mission.

00:10:41.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:10:43.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:10:49.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:10:50.000 So here's the deal.

00:10:51.000 If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.

00:11:14.000 That's relieffactor.com.

00:11:16.000 Check it out right now.

00:11:19.000 The reason why the Associated Press does articles like this is because we have a supply and demand problem with racism in America.

00:11:26.000 We have an incredibly low supply of racism, where people think just because you walk into a boardroom as a young woman, people think you might be working for the museum.

00:11:35.000 In fact, she should take that exactly the opposite, by the way.

00:11:37.000 That's what's so amazing, is that she looks at that to be offended.

00:11:40.000 She should take that as a compliment that she's able to be rich at a young age, that she's so different that everyone else had to wait the rest of their life to be rich, that she gets to go into a room that only she is like, yet she looks at that as a sign of oppression.

00:11:54.000 That just shows how sick these people are when they educate children.

00:11:59.000 That one thing that the Associated Press is saying is the most worst thing that could happen to you walking into a museum advisory board meeting and some of the people asked her if she was a fundraiser for the museum, where she could say, actually, you know, no, I'm not.

00:12:14.000 I'm a self-made millionaire.

00:12:16.000 And I'm proud of it.

00:12:17.000 Isn't that the whole kind of like aura of Hollywood that they try to put forward?

00:12:21.000 Or at least the kind of the caricature, like the Ruth Bader-Ginsburg energy, like I'm going to be able to do whatever I want to do?

00:12:28.000 That's where I really don't understand this whole kind of like feminist movement.

00:12:30.000 It's like the feminists went from like, we're going to take on the whole world. 1.00

00:12:33.000 We're going to complain about everything.

00:12:34.000 So speaking of the supply and demand issue, the bishop of fake racial hate crimes is Jussie Smollett.

00:12:44.000 Now, the real downside for Jussie is he has to go to prison with his attacker for the rest of his life.

00:12:49.000 So Jesse has to go to jail with the person who brutally and mercilessly attacked him at 2 a.m. in a Chicago morning.

00:12:57.000 Remember, Jussie, well, this is him at the trial saying that he's not suicidal and he is innocent.

00:13:02.000 Play cut 35.

00:13:04.000 Okay, I am not suicidal.

00:13:07.000 I am innocent and I am not suicidal.

00:13:10.000 If I did this, then it means that I stuck my fist in the fears of black Americans in this country for over 400 years and the fears of the LGBT community.

00:13:18.000 Your honor, I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this and I am not suicidal.

00:13:23.000 And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself.

00:13:28.000 And you must all know that.

00:13:30.000 Yeah, but you did do something to yourself.

00:13:32.000 You fake and staged a hate crime and then you wrote a check to the Nigerian brothers for mugging supplies. 0.99

00:13:39.000 And you forgot to take the rope off your neck, Jesse, when the police came in your apartment.

00:13:44.000 Now, unfortunately, this is not a one-off incident.

00:13:47.000 Unfortunately, when these racial hoaxes happen, the whole world stops. 0.75

00:13:51.000 Thankfully, we know better than that.

00:13:53.000 Robin Roberts played right into it.

00:13:56.000 She used to be a respectable Chicago-based journalist. 0.98

00:13:59.000 Now she's a yellow journalist propagandist. 1.00

00:14:02.000 Play cut 36.

00:14:04.000 The vast majority of people have been supportive and loving and understanding.

00:14:10.000 And then as time has gone on, and that there's no, you know, it's two o'clock in the morning.

00:14:17.000 You're going to Subway.

00:14:19.000 Subway is open 24 hours.

00:14:22.000 Like people kill me when they say things like that because it's like subway is open 24 hours for a reason.

00:14:27.000 So that when you're hungry at night and you ain't got no food, you go to Subway.

00:14:35.000 Student of color reportedly behind racist graffiti at a Rochester girls' school.

00:14:41.000 Following in the tradition of Archbishop Jussie Smolay, young black activists find inspiration to stage their own hate crimes. 0.99

00:14:49.000 I have said for quite some time: if you stage a hate crime and you are able to be able to be proven, you should go to jail for the same consequence of the hate crime itself.

00:14:57.000 A student of color is reportedly behind the racist graffiti found Monday morning in a bathroom at a private all-girls school in Brighton, New York.

00:15:05.000 Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women, a grade through 6 through 12 school located within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, announced Thursday that its investigation into the graffiti, including the N-word, ended with a student of coming forward and take responsibility for writing the offensive message.

00:15:20.000 Now, we went through this with one of our turning point USA groups in Minnesota.

00:15:26.000 We've gone through this many different times.

00:15:28.000 In fact, there is a website somewhere that's like racehoax.com or you know what I'm talking about?

00:15:32.000 It lists all of them.

00:15:33.000 This is not a couple dozen.

00:15:35.000 These are hundreds of fake race hoaxes that happen all across the country.

00:15:40.000 In fact, it seems as if there are more hoaxes than actual incidents.

00:15:44.000 Well, because the incentive structure is that you get to be a very important person overnight with no talent, no accomplishments if you're a victim of a hoax.

00:15:44.000 Why?

00:15:52.000 So instead of Jussie Smollet actually winning an Oscar or winning a Grammy doing something consequential, Jussie Smollett thought he could have instant notoriety and fame and popularity if the Trump people did something bad to him.

00:16:07.000 That would skyrocket him into center stage. 0.81

00:16:12.000 That sure seems to be the lesson that many other young black activists are taking, such as in Rochester, where they fake their own hate crime. 0.83

00:16:23.000 Look, did you get hit with a big tax spill you were not expecting with rates still being very low and home equity being high?

00:16:29.000 It's the perfect time to refinance and get some cash out of your home.

00:16:32.000 Look, you could go to one of these woke banks, Citibank, Chase, where they hate you, they hate the country, and they hate Christianity.

00:16:40.000 Or you could refinance right now all of your mortgage needs with my friends.

00:17:34.000 Nancy Pelosi needs to try to spin the Democrats' agenda. 1.00

00:17:40.000 She says, when we're having discussions, it's important to dispel some of the myths.

00:17:43.000 Look, she's trying to make sure you know how good things are.

00:17:48.000 It's a rather extraordinary thing.

00:17:50.000 And I'm going to get to another couple stories here.

00:17:52.000 We're going to kind of jump around a little bit.

00:17:54.000 They're seemingly unrelated.

00:17:55.000 We'll see if there's a through line, but they're worth hearing.

00:17:57.000 Play cut two.

00:17:59.000 A trillion dollars over 20 years is saved.

00:18:02.000 So when we're having this discussion, it's important to dispel some of those who say, well, it's the government spending.

00:18:10.000 No, it isn't.

00:18:11.000 But I'm just going to use doing the exact reverse.

00:18:14.000 Reducing the national debt is not inflationary.

00:18:17.000 So she says it's all about reducing the national debt.

00:18:20.000 It's not inflationary.

00:18:21.000 What, of course, she's talking about is the Build Back Better plan and the increased government spending.

00:18:26.000 Nancy Pelosi was speaking to fellow Democrat lawmakers, trying to convince them that their agenda is working so well for the American people, this is why they need to continue to hold on to power.

00:18:36.000 To go further into the land of the insane of the Democrats, there is this bill that has been passing through Florida.

00:18:43.000 Has it been signed into law yet?

00:18:44.000 I'm not sure.

00:18:46.000 So the Democrats are calling this as the Don't Say Gay Bill.

00:18:51.000 I was just in Florida.

00:18:52.000 I spent a week there.

00:18:53.000 Florida has the phenomenal Ron DeSantis.

00:18:56.000 He's doing an extraordinary job.

00:18:58.000 And the bill is all about parental supervision and it's about transparency in education.

00:19:07.000 The bill, which is soon to become law, is not about not teaching kids not to say gay, but instead protecting young children from topics they are not yet ready to completely understand.

00:19:20.000 Now, something the left has always been focused on is destroying and weakening the bond between a parent and a child.

00:19:29.000 Every totalitarian government needs to make sure children and parents are not close.

00:19:34.000 This is where we get the phrase mother Russia from.

00:19:36.000 The phrase mother Russia comes from the homeland of Russia, the government of Russia, Stalin's government, telling young children that your real mother is the state, not your biological mother.

00:19:49.000 When young kids, young children, do not feel attached to their parents, they start to seek other values.

00:19:54.000 And one way to be able to destroy the bonds between parents and children is to introduce sexual degenerate ideas that parents are not even knowing their kids are consuming.

00:20:07.000 Now, to further reinforce this, and I think this is very important, totalitarians love this because then they get to play the strong relationship when it comes to a child.

00:20:19.000 So an unusual person has now come in defense of this bill in Florida.

00:20:27.000 I agree with him on very little.

00:20:30.000 He is an aggressive atheist. 0.98

00:20:35.000 But of course, it's Bill Maher.

00:20:36.000 I believe Bill Maher is not a leftist, though.

00:20:38.000 Bill Maher is a liberal.

00:20:40.000 Bill Maher believes in free speech.

00:20:42.000 He believes in Western values.

00:20:45.000 However, liberalism, especially Bill Maher liberalism, is not sustainable.

00:20:49.000 It will metamorphosize.

00:20:51.000 It will transform.

00:20:52.000 It will evolve into flat-out leftist totalitarianism.

00:20:57.000 So we're going to kind of play of all Bill Maher's perspective here.

00:21:01.000 He starts with a nuanced view and he goes from there, play cut 31.

00:21:05.000 I think it's only they're talking about kindergarten to third grade.

00:21:08.000 So we're talking about very young kids who, you know, as always with this stuff, you know, there's not like there's no kernel of truth in that maybe kids that young shouldn't be thinking about sex at all.

00:21:21.000 I don't think it's specific.

00:21:24.000 I think don't say it's not like you're not allowed to literally not say gay. 0.66

00:21:29.000 But they just don't want teachers talking about it.

00:21:31.000 They think it's the province of parents.

00:21:33.000 So I think I'm understanding him correctly because he was being a little bit cagey with his word choice.

00:21:39.000 But I think he was saying, look, maybe kids shouldn't be thinking about this stuff all the time or at all.

00:21:43.000 Is that right?

00:21:44.000 Or was he saying it the opposite?

00:21:45.000 Anyway, he was a little more nuanced.

00:21:46.000 He gets a little bit more blunt as he moves on.

00:21:48.000 One of Bill Maher's guests says, this is not key to have kindergartens need to know who Harvey Milk is, but to say that this is a Dodge political move.

00:21:56.000 Play Cut 32.

00:21:57.000 My main concern as a gay man who advocates for gay rights is not that second graders know who Harvey Milk is.

00:22:03.000 That is not the key.

00:22:06.000 That's the key to LGBTQ equality.

00:22:08.000 But I mean, I also question, I mean, does this really need to be at the top of these politicians' lists?

00:22:13.000 I mean, this is a total.

00:22:20.000 This is not going to improve Floridians' lives.

00:22:22.000 This is not an urgent problem.

00:22:24.000 This is a dodge.

00:22:25.000 It's another culture war that's meant to score cheap, easy points rather than really solving Americans' problems. 0.94

00:22:30.000 It's a ridiculous thing to say.

00:22:31.000 Of course it's important. 0.84

00:22:32.000 What it is is an anti-grooming bill, kindergarten through third grade.

00:22:36.000 Here's the text of the bill.

00:22:37.000 Quote, classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties or sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through third grade or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate.

00:22:51.000 Republicans in Florida could introduce a bill that says you shouldn't have sex with children, and Democrats would find a way to oppose it. 0.95

00:22:58.000 Like, oh, no, no, I don't know.

00:23:00.000 That sounds a little extreme.

00:23:03.000 Bill Maher reads the text of the bill, play cut 34.

00:23:08.000 Says something LGBTQ advocates argue could lead to some students being outed to their parents.

00:23:15.000 That phrase struck me as odd.

00:23:19.000 Like, outed to parents?

00:23:21.000 Like, shouldn't parents know everything anyway?

00:23:25.000 Wow.

00:23:27.000 Good for you, Bill.

00:23:28.000 That's exactly right.

00:23:29.000 He's saying, wait, wait a second.

00:23:30.000 He's like, I'm a liberal.

00:23:31.000 I'm all for all this stuff and like tolerance.

00:23:33.000 He's like, but breaking the bond between parents and kids, not civilizationally sustainable.

00:23:40.000 Remember, it is the only one of the Ten Commandments that comes with the promise and involves your nation.

00:23:45.000 Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in.

00:23:50.000 Bill Maher continues by saying, look, it's disingenuous when liberals say we just want to teach history.

00:23:55.000 Now, I'm not saying Bill Maher is getting red-pilled.

00:23:57.000 He's plenty left on every single issue.

00:24:00.000 But Bill Maher is becoming a very effective voice against the totalitarian woke left, Play Cut 33.

00:24:09.000 It's disingenuous when the liberals say, you know, we just want to teach history.

00:24:14.000 And like, no one's against that.

00:24:16.000 Well, I'm sure there are some rednecks who are against that. 1.00

00:24:19.000 But most reasonable people are not against realistically teaching history.

00:24:24.000 It's not like you can't mention slavery. 0.90

00:24:26.000 They're talking about something else that is going on.

00:24:28.000 I've read too many reports, too many first-person reports from teachers who say, I can't go on teaching like this because this is insanity what I'm doing in this classroom, separating kids by race and oppressors and non-oppressors and their little kids.

00:24:41.000 It is going on.

00:24:43.000 I don't know what is going on with the gender as much.

00:24:46.000 That's Bill Maher on HBO who's starting to push back against this totalitarianism.

00:24:52.000 I can work with liberals.

00:24:54.000 Leftists, I cannot work with.

00:24:58.000 I agree with Bill Maher on very, very little, but on this, he's exactly right.

00:25:03.000 Okay, let's get to another story here, somewhat similar.

00:25:07.000 Kansas teacher Suze district after she was suspended for refusing to use students' preferred pronouns.

00:25:13.000 This is in Kansas.

00:25:17.000 This is according to the Postmillennial.com.

00:25:20.000 A Kansas math teacher has filed a lawsuit against her public school district after they suspended her for refusing to use a student's preferred name and pronouns.

00:25:28.000 According to the Herzog Foundation, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of teacher Pamela Rickard against USD 475 Gary County School District and the principal for Fort Riley Middle School.

00:25:39.000 Rickard is described as a decades-long teacher who was assigned to the school since 2005.

00:25:45.000 In April 2021, Rickard was reprimanded and suspended for three days for, quote, addressing a biologically female student by the student's legally and enrolled last name, according to the lawsuit.

00:25:55.000 The school had reportedly sent Rickard an email stating the student's preferred name, but the lawsuit allegedly continued to state the student as she.

00:26:02.000 In the spring, the school sent teachers a directive to use the student's preferred name.

00:26:06.000 A week after Rickard's three-day suspension, the principal sent teachers, quote, training documents on diversity training on gendered identity and expression.

00:26:16.000 This is in Kansas.

00:26:19.000 So to everyone who thinks this is just happening in California or New York or in Chicago, no, this is Kansas and in Iowa.

00:26:27.000 This is what happens when conservatives don't play offense. 0.80

00:26:29.000 And to Ron DeSantis' great credit with the bill in Florida that is wrongly being labeled as the don't say gay bill that will protect kindergarten first and second and third grade is a very effective bill.

00:26:41.000 It's an effective political strategy.

00:26:44.000 The lawsuit says teachers were trading told told in training documents that failure to use students' preferred names and pronouns would, quote, constitute a discriminatory discriminatory act subject to employee discipline and would violate section seven of the Civil Rights Act.

00:26:58.000 There's that little tricky Civil Rights Act again.

00:27:02.000 What a great book, Age of Entitlement is by Christopher Caldwell.

00:27:05.000 I encourage everyone to read it.

00:27:07.000 It will change your perspective on the Civil Rights Act.

00:27:10.000 Parts of the Civil Rights Act are brilliant and important.

00:27:12.000 Other parts have unintended consequences, the likes of which I don't think anyone would have expected for the time.

00:27:19.000 In October of 2021, the school updated their policy mandating staff members calling their students by their preferred names and pronouns.

00:27:26.000 Quote, students will be called by their preferred names and pronouns.

00:27:28.000 This means if a student makes a request to a staff member to call them by a name other than their legal name, as noted in the student information system, the staff members will respect the students' wishes.

00:27:38.000 It's happening in Iowa, too.

00:27:40.000 The Gay Pledge of Allegiance, you don't know what the Gay Pledge of Allegiance is?

00:27:43.000 Well, if you're sending your kid to public school, they might be experiencing a mandatory gay pledge of allegiance as led by Chastin Boot Edge Edge in the state of Iowa. 0.73

00:27:57.000 Not Oregon, not Rhode Island, Iowa.

00:28:01.000 Play tape.

00:28:02.000 I pledge my heart to the rainbow.

00:28:05.000 To the rainbow.

00:28:06.000 The not-so-typical gay camp. 0.99

00:28:08.000 Oh, the not-so-typical gay camp. 1.00

00:28:10.000 One camp? 0.85

00:28:11.000 One camp.

00:28:12.000 Full of pride.

00:28:13.000 Full of pride.

00:28:14.000 Indivisible.

00:28:15.000 Indivisible.

00:28:15.000 With affirmation and equal rights for all.

00:28:18.000 With affirmation and equal rights for all.

00:28:21.000 Watch your heads. 0.99

00:28:25.000 These are children that are not saying a pledge of allegiance to the American flag, but they are pledging allegiance to the gay flag. 1.00

00:28:32.000 The gay pledge of allegiance being led by the partner of Pete Boot Edge Edge. 0.85

00:28:38.000 That's exactly what the Florida bill is trying to prevent. 0.97

00:28:41.000 That sort of nonsense.

00:28:42.000 But it's happening in the reddest, most conservative states across the country.

00:28:45.000 Be vigilant, parents.

00:28:47.000 They might be coming for your children next.

00:30:07.000 Why do totalitarians hate comedians?

00:30:10.000 It's because they tell the truth.

00:30:11.000 When you laugh, you laugh because it is something that is true that you haven't thought of before that pushes the boundaries of what you can say in decent society.

00:30:21.000 The best humor is the one where you know it's true, you just can't say it.

00:30:27.000 Humor is not funny if somebody says something that doesn't make sense or is not rooted in reality.

00:30:34.000 This is one of the reasons why they're going after humor and comedy so aggressively.

00:30:41.000 There's this video that is circulating online.

00:30:43.000 I don't know who this person is.

00:30:44.000 I don't know who made it, but it's awesome.

00:30:47.000 It is a satire of the kind of young, let's say, trend seeker that is now all in for the Ukrainian cause. 0.97

00:30:58.000 And it's funny because millions of people are just like this.

00:31:01.000 Play cut 40.

00:31:02.000 A couple weeks since I transformed into a Ukraine guy, and gotta say it, and I'm loving my new personality.

00:31:06.000 Well, you guys denounce Russia?

00:31:08.000 Oh, you're still telling people to stay at home and get vaccinated?

00:31:11.000 Oh, no, no, that's cool.

00:31:12.000 I mean, yeah, whatever works for you, dude.

00:31:14.000 Ukraine for life.

00:31:15.000 Well, you know what I mean, for a couple weeks till we get the next one.

00:31:18.000 This is Putin.

00:31:19.000 I just sort of give him one of these.

00:31:21.000 Maybe one of these.

00:31:22.000 I was a big Palestine guy.

00:31:23.000 I was a big Afghanistan guy.

00:31:25.000 What's going on there now?

00:31:26.000 Yeah, actually, a pretty good question.

00:31:28.000 I haven't really checked in on it.

00:31:30.000 Are they still doing the whole being a country thing?

00:31:33.000 Oh, look, it's Putin's home. 1.00

00:31:34.000 You either want America to get in there and start mucking things up, or you love Putin and want to marry him and have sex with him. 1.00

00:31:39.000 I'm a pretty binary thinker. 1.00

00:31:41.000 I'm non-binary and everything else, though.

00:31:46.000 Oh, it's so funny.

00:31:48.000 Okay, let's get to another piece of sound here.

00:31:51.000 Won't be as lighthearted, probably.

00:31:54.000 Okay, Dr. Robert Malone talking about bio labs, play cut 21.

00:31:59.000 If I was employed, just as a hypothetical, if I was an analyst, an intelligence analyst working within Russia for the Russian government, I would have to conclude that these laboratories, not knowing their purpose or intent, did represent a strategic threat to the Russian state and a potential bio-threat risk.

00:32:28.000 I can't see how anyone wouldn't conclude that.

00:32:31.000 So, was there gain of function research being done?

00:32:33.000 Are there potential pathogens that could be released from the biolabs in Ukraine? 0.73

00:32:37.000 These are all questions that we deserve answers to.

00:32:40.000 But instead, there seems to be a concerted campaign to shut us up and shut down any sort of line of inquiry into this.

00:32:49.000 Jake Sullivan, who, of course, helped investigate Trump illegally and spy on him, had something to say about this.

00:32:56.000 Play Cut 8.

00:32:57.000 When Russia starts accusing other countries of potentially doing something, it's a good tell that they may be on the cusp of doing it themselves.

00:33:04.000 What we're here to do is to deny them the capacity to have a false flag operation to blame this on the Ukrainians or on us.

00:33:12.000 But the White House, they scrambled together a meeting to try to get their messaging right.

00:33:17.000 And in a shocking turn of events, Saturday Night Live, SNL actually did something funny.

00:33:25.000 In Play Cut 9, the White House TikTok meeting is where they try to hold a meeting with TikTok's top creators and advice on how to solve the Ukraine crisis.

00:33:34.000 Play Cut 9.

00:33:36.000 This week, as the war in Ukraine intensified, access to Facebook and Instagram in the country was shut off, leaving only one source of information, TikTok.

00:33:44.000 So on Thursday, the White House responded by holding a national security briefing with some of the nation's top TikTok creators.

00:33:50.000 Thank you all so much for coming and answering your nation's call in a time of need.

00:33:55.000 Oh, yeah, sure.

00:33:56.000 Hey, no problem.

00:33:56.000 I'm 12.

00:33:58.000 Our schedules are super flexible.

00:34:00.000 Yeah, and we love White House.

00:34:02.000 Jason DeVilla.

00:34:04.000 Goes on from there.

00:34:06.000 That is the unfortunate, honest approach of how the White House is trying to solve a geopolitical and existential problem.

00:34:15.000 It's not that far away from the truth.

00:34:19.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
