The Charlie Kirk Show - When “Diversity” Becomes Dangerous

00:00:00.000 Is diversity making America more dangerous?

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:03.000 Well, not diversity itself, but the cult of diversity, the obsession with diversity.

00:00:07.000 Is diversity our strength?

00:00:09.000 Very interesting take we have here on this show.

00:00:12.000 Some would say it's provocative.

00:00:14.000 Text it to your friends for sure.

00:00:15.000 Chuck Schumer comes out with the new goal of the Democrats as it becomes more and more clear that 2022 is not going to be a good year for them.

00:00:22.000 That and so much more.

00:02:00.000 Turning point USA.

00:02:01.000 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.

00:02:10.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:13.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:02:21.000 Okay, so I want to get into some Washington, D.C. drama and news.

00:02:27.000 Now, it looks like Republicans are going to take back the House this November.

00:02:31.000 We're going to be covering that all year.

00:02:33.000 The generic has tightened slightly as we thought it would.

00:02:37.000 However, the Democrats are still trying to have one final play, one final legislative kind of, let's say, not just strategy, one final legislative quote-unquote victory for them on their way out.

00:02:55.000 More than the Build Back Better plan, which we have said the entire time the last couple months has been a facade.

00:03:02.000 They knew they were not going to get that passed.

00:03:05.000 They've always been solely focused on changing the constitutional structure of how our elections are actually conducted.

00:03:14.000 James Madison famously said that the structure of the Constitution was one of its most brilliant aspects: the check and balance structure.

00:03:25.000 How the three articles, the first three articles of the U.S. Constitution, all interrelate with one of the other, seven total articles of the Constitution.

00:03:33.000 Now, you must realize you must read the Constitution in two separate buckets.

00:03:39.000 You must read the Constitution of 1787 and then the amendments of 1791.

00:03:45.000 You see, the Constitution was first written with no amendments.

00:03:50.000 The amendments were largely inspired from the Virginia Declaration of Rights that was actually written by George Mason in 1776.

00:03:58.000 When the Virginia Declaration of Rights was written in 1776 by George Mason, it largely inspired the momentum that eventually continued to become the what is now known as the entirety of the U.S. Constitution.

00:04:17.000 But the arguments between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists that played out in what is now known as the Federalist or the Federalist Papers in the months that followed the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787 was this debate over the actual structure absent the amendments of the Constitution.

00:04:40.000 Now, you must understand that after the Constitutional Convention, then the work actually started.

00:04:46.000 After the Constitutional Convention, then the arguments between the states were like, hey, should we actually ratify, should we agree to this compact, to this contract, to this agreement?

00:04:57.000 Now, we've been through many times that the states created the federal government.

00:05:01.000 The federal government did not create the states.

00:05:03.000 This is profoundly important.

00:05:06.000 And so, but if you ask any person on the street, they say, oh, you know, what's in the Constitution?

00:05:11.000 They'll start, oh, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment.

00:05:15.000 Where it really is important that the first, the seven articles of the U.S. Constitution, that was the original framework.

00:05:25.000 Now, if you go through Article 1, Article 2, and Article 3, Article 3 is the Supreme Court, Article 2 is the Executive Branch, Article 1 is the legislative branch.

00:05:37.000 It's a rather short yet wise and important observation of human nature.

00:05:45.000 But the part in the Constitution that I think people don't focus on enough, and if you go back into the private writings of Thomas Jefferson, who, by the way, did not write the U.S. Constitution, he wrote the Declaration of Independence.

00:05:58.000 Thomas Jefferson opposed the Constitution throughout its process and eventually became a reluctant believer.

00:06:04.000 There are these beautiful letters back and forth between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

00:06:09.000 And one of my favorite things is when you kind of get a, let's say, an energetic fella that we'd call it, of someone who says, Charlie, we need a revolution.

00:06:17.000 Did you know that Thomas Jefferson said that the tree of liberty must be stained with the blood of tyrants every 20 years?

00:06:23.000 And I say, okay, smart Alec.

00:06:27.000 Who did he said that?

00:06:28.000 Who did he say that to?

00:06:29.000 I don't know.

00:06:30.000 He just said it.

00:06:30.000 I read it on Wikipedia.

00:06:32.000 Okay.

00:06:33.000 You do know that was in a letter while he was in France to James Madison.

00:06:37.000 And do you know that James Madison wrote back and said, yeah, I don't think that's a good idea because we're going to need some sort of continuity for future generations.

00:06:45.000 And you know what Thomas Jefferson effectively responded with?

00:06:47.000 Yeah, you're probably right.

00:06:50.000 Just be careful sometimes when you read these quotes that people put out there.

00:06:55.000 Jefferson, he had a reputation of being a little bit of a hothead with this stuff, getting a little too excited.

00:06:59.000 Now, Jefferson was a tremendous president, by the way.

00:07:03.000 We should be having statues of Thomas Jefferson all across the country.

00:07:06.000 Phenomenal.

00:07:07.000 But Thomas Jefferson had this great quote after he reluctantly came along.

00:07:13.000 And Jefferson was a huge supporter, by the way, of adding the Bill of Rights that eventually came in 1791.

00:07:20.000 Now, in 1789, kind of this purgatory period between the Constitution and its original form and the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791 came this, which was Thomas Jefferson who said, the Bill of Rights is there to secure freedom in religion, freedom of the press.

00:07:40.000 And here's a really interesting part that I don't think we as conservatives and people that actually care about American history talk about.

00:07:46.000 Freedom from monopolies.

00:07:51.000 So, Thomas Jefferson is arguing in defense of the U.S. Constitution that his buddy James Madison largely wrote in John Jay and Alexander Hamilton.

00:08:00.000 Those were kind of the triumphant, if you will, that defended it.

00:08:03.000 Thomas Harris said, all right, I can agree.

00:08:05.000 But we need freedom in religion, not from, very important, freedom in religion, freedom of the press, and then freedom from monopolies.

00:08:19.000 Now, when we think about that, we think about Google or Amazon.

00:08:22.000 Yes, we should break up those companies totally.

00:08:24.000 But what is a different type of monopoly that is trying to be created?

00:08:30.000 Here's just a good lesson for you right now as in the current American political landscape.

00:08:36.000 Almost every piece of behavior that the left or the Democrats are engaging in can point up to this truth, that the left is currently in the business of creating and protecting monopolies they control.

00:08:52.000 The left is in the monopoly business.

00:08:55.000 Now, we say, you know, all the left cares about is power, correct.

00:08:58.000 A better way to say it is all the left cares about is monopolies.

00:09:03.000 Chuck Schumer, as the great Rush Lumbaugh would call him, Chuck Hugh Schumer, said yesterday that if Republicans continue to hijack the rules of the chamber to prevent action on something as critical as protecting our democracy, then the Senate will debate changes to the rules.

00:09:18.000 Now, I'm going to tell you what this means.

00:09:19.000 He's talking in Orwellian doublespeak, but CUP 26, I'll translate it for you.

00:09:27.000 Voting rights in the past was a bipartisan issue.

00:09:31.000 How quickly they forget.

00:09:34.000 Republican presidents, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush supported voting rights.

00:09:41.000 When voting rights extensions came up in this body in the past, they passed by large majorities, bipartisan.

00:09:50.000 The resistance we see from modern-day Republicans is a beast of an entirely different nature.

00:09:58.000 Maybe some of them are scared of Trump, but too many of them see this as a way to win advantage to get their hard-right views enacted, even though the public doesn't support them by jaundicing our election process and saying and putting barriers in the way of particular people, not all people, of voting.

00:10:20.000 People of color, poor people, people who live in big cities, young people, handicapped people, elderly people.

00:10:33.000 As I said in my dear colleague earlier this week, if Republicans continue to hijack the rules of the chamber to prevent action on something as critical as protecting our democracy, then the Senate will debate and consider changes to the rules on or before January 17th, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

00:10:55.000 Now there's a lot there.

00:10:56.000 I appreciate the longer clip.

00:10:58.000 It's very good for context.

00:11:00.000 I'm going to dive into that and translate it to you.

00:11:02.000 I think he just made up a word, by the way.

00:11:04.000 Is that a word?

00:11:05.000 Maybe my vocabulary is not as plentiful as Chuck Yu Schumer.

00:11:12.000 I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.

00:11:15.000 And truth is, I know millions of people are in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.

00:11:19.000 Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.

00:11:20.000 He was a hobbled individual.

00:11:23.000 He was bedridden in his chair complaining all the time.

00:11:27.000 And then all of a sudden we got this call from Relief Factor.

00:11:29.000 They said, hey, we want to partner with your show.

00:11:31.000 We're going to send you some Relief Factor.

00:11:32.000 Producer Andrew got it.

00:11:34.000 He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better.

00:11:37.000 Next thing you know, he's doing the Fallsberry flop like you wouldn't believe.

00:11:41.000 In fact, he might be training for an Ironman.

00:11:44.000 It's pretty incredible.

00:11:45.000 Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor.

00:11:47.000 I ask him all the time, Relief Factor?

00:11:49.000 He says relieffactor.com, 100% drug-free supplement.

00:11:51.000 You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.

00:11:54.000 So go to relieffactor.com, and I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start to see if we can get you out of pain.

00:12:00.000 And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain.

00:12:02.000 So go to relieffactor.com.

00:12:04.000 That is relieffactor.com.

00:12:06.000 I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain.

00:12:07.000 It's 100% drug-free.

00:12:09.000 Don't go to opioids.

00:12:10.000 Don't go to these other things.

00:12:11.000 Check it out at relieffactor.com.

00:12:16.000 What we're trying to do is kind of outline the framing of what Chuck Schumer mentioned here.

00:12:22.000 He says, look, if Republicans continue to hijack the rules of the chamber, so what he's trying to say is that if you guys keep on trying to block our quote-unquote voting rights legislation, if you guys try to tell us that we are not allowed to have mass mail and voting or the Justice Department be the final say of election reforms, then by Martin Luther King Day, because they're always trying to use race for every one of their reforms, we might just blow up the entire process as we know it, and we might have to change the rules.

00:12:52.000 Now, the left is in the business of trying to create and protect monopolies they control.

00:13:01.000 But it's very clear in the United States Constitution, and this one's brought to you by Turning Point USA, that the Constitution lays out in great detail the need, the moral necessity for the decentralization of elections.

00:13:17.000 Remember, states were sovereign before the federal government was sovereign.

00:13:20.000 And allowing the framework or the compact of the states to operate with their own sovereignty is essential for liberty.

00:13:30.000 But Schumer realizes that they're not going to get their $3.8 trillion spending bill passed.

00:13:36.000 He realizes that he's not going to be able to pass and usher in this massive deficit spending package.

00:13:43.000 The next best thing they could do is sneak in a somewhat on-the-surface vanilla voting rights package when in reality, all voting reforms would then have to go through Merrick Garland's desk.

00:13:55.000 Essentially, the Democrats want to create a monopoly.

00:13:59.000 They want to create a wall, if you will, against any states changing their elections.

00:14:06.000 Arizona wants to audit their voting rolls.

00:14:08.000 You have to get Merrick Garland's approval.

00:14:10.000 Georgia wants to require voter ID.

00:14:12.000 You have to go and get Merrick Garland's approval.

00:14:15.000 Now, of course, Chuck Schumer once said that eliminating the filibuster would be doomsday for democracy.

00:14:21.000 Play cut 24.

00:14:25.000 The ideologues in the Senate want to turn what the founding fathers called the cooling saucer of democracy into the rubber stamp of dictatorship.

00:14:37.000 They want to make this country into a banana republic where if you don't get your way, you change the rules.

00:14:44.000 Are we going to let them?

00:14:48.000 It'll be a doomsday for democracy if we do.

00:14:52.000 A doomsday for democracy.

00:14:56.000 Now, again, they're in the monopoly business.

00:14:59.000 They want to create structures that they control that are untouchable.

00:15:06.000 Think how untouchable Google is.

00:15:07.000 Google does whatever they want.

00:15:09.000 They can control public opinion.

00:15:10.000 They can kick off scientists that invented vaccines.

00:15:13.000 They do whatever they want.

00:15:14.000 And Google is wholly controlled by the American left.

00:15:18.000 Look at the IRS.

00:15:18.000 Look at the CDC.

00:15:20.000 And one of the last gasps of independent state-based liberty, where citizens still have a say, is our elections.

00:15:30.000 Elections are still largely administered by states and local districts, by counties.

00:15:38.000 And by allowing the Decentralized structure.

00:15:43.000 It makes it harder for Democrats to assume permanent control.

00:15:52.000 I think the Democrats aren't messing around.

00:15:54.000 Now, thankfully, Manchin and Cinema, I do not think will agree on changing the Senate rules just to be able to pass this John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

00:16:04.000 Now, you notice the way that they frame it.

00:16:06.000 They say, well, this is all about voting rights.

00:16:08.000 Well, tell me, Chuck Schumer, in what state is it difficult for anybody to vote?

00:16:12.000 We have voting months in most states.

00:16:16.000 But the monopoly that they're trying to create, again, Thomas Jefferson said the Bill of Rights, it was there to secure your freedom in religion, freedom of the press, and freedom from monopolies.

00:16:27.000 The argument that Thomas Jefferson, an anti-federalist, by the way, a small government guy was saying, was that we must be wary of the centralization and the non-check and balance kind of consolidation of power anywhere it manifests itself.

00:16:44.000 And again, the way we think of monopolies, like, oh, that person's too rich, that company's too big, and that stuff we could talk about.

00:16:49.000 I think those companies need to be largely broken up.

00:16:51.000 But the monopoly that's right in front of us that they're trying to create is they're trying to create the monopoly of elections.

00:16:58.000 They're trying to create the Federal Department Bureau of Fair Elections where Republicans would be in a permanent minority for the rest of our life, as long as the Republic would stand.

00:17:10.000 That's their play.

00:17:12.000 They think, okay, build back better.

00:17:14.000 We don't have to worry about getting the votes if we can actually make all the elections go through the Department of Justice.

00:17:20.000 They want to create that new monopoly.

00:17:22.000 And this is going to be the most consequential, important, and high-stakes legislative fight this year.

00:17:30.000 And if we lose, we may never win another election again.

00:17:36.000 Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?

00:17:43.000 Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?

00:17:49.000 Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.

00:17:55.000 Left-wing corporations are subverting our democracy by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.

00:18:06.000 You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.

00:19:07.000 10 of the country's most populous cities set homicide records last year.

00:19:13.000 This should have been probably the number one news story in the country, right?

00:19:15.000 That we had one of the bloodiest years on record ever.

00:19:20.000 CNN, more than two-thirds of the country's 40 populous cities saw more homicides last year than in 2020.

00:19:27.000 10 of those cities had the deadliest homicide record record homicides on record.

00:19:33.000 Those are Philadelphia, Austin, Texas, Philadelphia, Austin, Texas, Columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, Portland, Oregon, Memphis, Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, Milwaukee, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Tucson, Arizona.

00:19:50.000 Minneapolis tied its previous record of homicides with 97 in the years of 1997 to 2001, 2021.

00:19:57.000 Many cities have seen homicides reach near-record highs in the past year.

00:20:03.000 Chicago police investigated 797 last year, the most since 1996.

00:20:08.000 But more than 800 homicides happened within the city, when including expressway shootings, which are investigated by a different agency.

00:20:14.000 Oh, yeah, if we, you know, count drive-by shootings on 294, or if we count the drive-by shootings on Kennedy, then we're at the record.

00:20:26.000 Now, this is the most interesting and most important part.

00:20:29.000 This is by CNN.

00:20:33.000 Homicides spiked in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and subsequent unrest in cities across the country.

00:20:44.000 For many cities, the elevated rates of homicide continued into 2021.

00:20:50.000 So this is what I want to focus on.

00:20:51.000 I want to reread this paragraph.

00:20:54.000 This is CNN rebroadcasted by CBS 58.

00:20:58.000 Now, if we had an honest media, if we had people that were really interested and that were trying to find out what was happening in the world around us, we would take a pause and say, hold on.

00:21:10.000 Why is it that we had the deadliest years on record?

00:21:13.000 Homicides spiked in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and subsequent unrest in cities across the country.

00:21:24.000 For many cities, the elevated rates of homicide continued into 2021.

00:21:32.000 Okay, so basically CNN is admitting that as soon as we started to focus on BL, as soon as BLM took over the country, as soon as BLM became the most powerful political party, cities became the most dangerous they ever have.

00:21:50.000 As soon as JPMorgan Chase or Citibank, in fact, let me show you.

00:21:57.000 So I went to, I did this over Christmas break.

00:22:01.000 I was just kind of going through different companies.

00:22:04.000 Like, hey, what is their participation in this?

00:22:06.000 So Citibank, Citigroup, Global Diversity and Inclusion, Diversity at Citi.

00:22:12.000 Research and experience both confirm that when a company embraces diversity, the most talented people are not just attracted to joining the company, but are more productive and motivated to stay.

00:22:21.000 At Citi, our employees reflect the remarkable range of cultures and perspective and blah, the whole thing.

00:22:29.000 Our approach, our people, awards and recognition, partnerships and community.

00:22:33.000 You go into it, it's stunning how they are spending hundreds of millions of dollars over years to fund these BLM arsonist groups, partnerships and community.

00:22:44.000 You go through that.

00:22:45.000 They have a diversity annual report that the Citibank is funding.

00:22:54.000 They are a national corporate partner of the human rights campaign.

00:22:58.000 We support equality, is what they say.

00:23:01.000 And so CNN's article admits this.

00:23:04.000 What CNN's article admits is the most important takeaway, which is that the cult of diversity has made America a much more dangerous place.

00:23:16.000 Is diversity our strength?

00:23:18.000 Or is the hyper-focus on diversity for diversity's sake a potential vulnerability and weakness?

00:23:25.000 The article continues by saying, According to the FBI report summarizing 2020 crime, the number of homicides that year began to escalate during the summer months.

00:23:37.000 Very simple.

00:23:39.000 You have an outward war on police of defunding the police.

00:23:44.000 Innocent blacks and Hispanics are going to die.

00:23:49.000 Of course, BLM would never mention any of that.

00:23:54.000 They say it's a pandemic in cities like Chicago.

00:23:58.000 It's a pandemic of gun violence.

00:24:00.000 Wrong.

00:24:00.000 It's not a pandemic of gun violence.

00:24:02.000 You want to hear what it really is, but no one wants to say it.

00:24:05.000 It's a pandemic of gang violence.

00:24:07.000 It's a pandemic of young men without fathers killing them, killing each other and themselves.

00:24:17.000 It says here in this article, about 85% of the country's more than 18,000 agencies submitted their 2020 crime data, and the 2021 data is still being tabulated.

00:24:30.000 But we know that the turning point was that as soon as Floyd Palooza started, as soon as we said, up, if you want to go steal a bunch of big screen TVs, you want to go burn down a Wendy's because you're really angry.

00:24:41.000 I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired is what they said.

00:24:44.000 You know what?

00:24:44.000 You got to blow off some steam.

00:24:46.000 It's all right.

00:24:47.000 You can go put pipe bombs in Gucci.

00:24:49.000 We understand.

00:24:52.000 You want to go shoot up in Hermes store?

00:24:55.000 It would be racist for us to dare correct you.

00:25:00.000 And as I was doing this kind of research into the diversity machine, otherwise known as the diversity industrial complex, I couldn't help.

00:25:10.000 I just asked myself, I said, where does this all start?

00:25:14.000 We know where it starts.

00:25:15.000 Obviously, it starts in our education system.

00:25:17.000 And I have a unique perspective.

00:25:19.000 So in the school district that I grew up in, District 214, and District 214 is one of the most interesting school districts in the country, highest paid teachers.

00:25:29.000 But the high school I went to, Wheeling High School, is one of the most diverse high schools in America.

00:25:33.000 Now, it bothers reporters because they actually go and research it.

00:25:36.000 Like, oh, yeah, Charlie probably went to New True.

00:25:38.000 Like, oh, he went to Wheeling, where there were more English as a second language people than people that spoke English.

00:25:45.000 As a white male, I was in the minority at Wheeling High School.

00:25:53.000 It bothers the media when you say that because they want to try to create this picture of some sort of upbringing that I didn't have.

00:26:00.000 But despite the high school I went to was wonderful at the time, there are people from all different sort of cultures and backgrounds, Puerto Ricans, Nicaraguans, El Salvadorians, Mexicans, South Africans, Vietnamese, every culture imaginable.

00:26:19.000 And guess what?

00:26:20.000 10 years ago when I went to high school, 10 years ago, no one talked about race.

00:26:24.000 No one cared.

00:26:26.000 And everyone got along.

00:26:28.000 There was no diversity, equity, inclusion panel.

00:26:31.000 There is no BLM Incorporated, nothing.

00:26:34.000 My upbringing at Wheeling High School was a testament that you can get along with people of all sorts of different races and backgrounds without having to focus on it.

00:26:45.000 However, if you now go to their website, they say, hey, we at District 214, we've decided we want to create racism where it doesn't exist and destroy the pursuit of excellence culture that once existed at Wheeling High School.

00:26:59.000 So you go to their website, what do they have?

00:27:01.000 A commitment to anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusionary practices and initiatives.

00:27:08.000 District 214 says that they're committed to creating an anti-racism, diversity, equity, inclusion strategic plan that would encompass but not be limited to the following components.

00:27:17.000 Excuse me, what sort of anti-racism are you trying to abolish at Wheeling High School?

00:27:21.000 Where did it exist exactly?

00:27:22.000 In the majority Hispanic population?

00:27:25.000 The fact that everyone got along with each other?

00:27:27.000 The fact that Hispanics would graduate as vala Victorians, that scholarship recipients would be people that were first-generation Americans.

00:27:36.000 What racism are you trying to actually abolish?

00:27:39.000 They're trying to create a problem where it doesn't exist to validate their own white guilt because they have deep-seated mental problems and they don't have a connection to any sort of eternal God.

00:27:48.000 It really is that simple.

00:27:50.000 However, it goes through this, and you see this in a high school that I grew up in.

00:27:54.000 I see the diversity virus infecting it, the virus of the cult of diversity.

00:28:02.000 This is what they're doing.

00:28:03.000 They're, in collaboration with the council, the administration will present the school board with an anti-racism, diversity, equity, inclusion recommended district goal by the end of the first quarter of the year.

00:28:14.000 And by the way, this is the most amazing thing.

00:28:18.000 There was this statement that it started with this.

00:28:22.000 Ah, this is what, yeah, okay.

00:28:23.000 It says, the national events and racial justice awakening of recent months have prompted District 214 to expand action and efforts that were already underway.

00:28:33.000 This is basically saying, because of Floyd Apalooza, because our country is burning to the ground, now we have to play into this even more.

00:28:45.000 They have February Institute Days for Professional Development focused on equity experiences, which included at various schools, privilege walk experiences, and a guest speaker on equity and staff student panel.

00:29:00.000 So explain this to me.

00:29:01.000 At a majority Hispanic high school I went to, you're going to now have the white kids that don't even speak the language of most of the people at the high school say, yeah, you got a bunch of privilege.

00:29:12.000 This is now the new way of running things.

00:29:14.000 And what's so sick about all this is that the problem never existed.

00:29:19.000 They had to resurrect it, shadow box it, so it makes all of them feel more important.

00:29:26.000 And it makes America more dangerous.

00:29:28.000 It's that simple.

00:29:30.000 Crime is up.

00:29:31.000 Innocents are being murdered by this sort of garbage.

00:29:34.000 It stems from this sort of garbage that starts in District 214.

00:29:40.000 Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?

00:29:44.000 Well, that's mypillow.com.

00:29:46.000 And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.

00:29:49.000 And part of them being canceled, they want to give you the lowest price yet.

00:29:53.000 So you can get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard MyPillow, regularly, $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code.

00:30:03.000 They also have queen size, regularly $79.98 and $24.98 with a promo code.

00:30:09.000 Or king size, usually $89.98, only $29.98 with your promo code.

00:30:14.000 MyPillow is not just pillows.

00:30:15.000 They have over 150 products, everything from sleepwear to new beds.

00:30:18.000 Go to mypillow.com or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk to take Andrew Mike's special offer on his standard MyPillow.

00:30:26.000 That's mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, or call 800-875-0425, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.

00:30:38.000 They always say that diversity is our strength, yet the more we focused on diversity, the more dangerous America cities has become.

00:30:45.000 CNN even admits it.

00:30:46.000 CNN says, homicide spiked following Floyd Apalooza.

00:30:50.000 Okay, so we started talking about race nonstop, and now we look back on the calendar year 2021, and America became significantly more dangerous.

00:31:03.000 Where does this all start?

00:31:04.000 It starts in places like District 214.

00:31:07.000 Teacher-led groups planned ongoing professional learning experiences on equity committees, book studies, and equity training, student panels in which students shared stories and experiences to build staff understanding.

00:31:20.000 February Institute Days for privilege walks and a guest speaker on equity in a student staff panel.

00:31:26.000 Instructional coaching, district teaching and learning coaches conducted conversations for teachers to reflect on classroom practices to ensure equitable experiences for all students.

00:31:37.000 Are you going to have it so that you have to speak English?

00:31:41.000 Because there are plenty of times I didn't understand what the heck was going on.

00:31:45.000 Principal and student advisory committees on the sc and how they're doing with equity in the school.

00:31:53.000 Now, why am I focusing on this?

00:31:54.000 Obviously, I went to high school here.

00:31:56.000 It was a wonderful place to go to high school.

00:31:57.000 No one cared about race when I grew up 10 years ago.

00:32:00.000 And I just want to re-emphasize this has happened over the last decade.

00:32:05.000 This virus of wokeism, of the diversity, equity, inclusion, of the virus of CRT, it's within the structure.

00:32:21.000 It's within the infrastructure, I should say, of almost every major institution.

00:32:25.000 And the numbers speak for itself.

00:32:27.000 When you start all of a sudden now doing policing, yeah, it's in the DNA.

00:32:31.000 Thank you.

00:32:31.000 When you start doing policing based on race, when you now start to administer monoclonal antibodies based on race, which we've covered before, and we covered that it's happening in Texas, and Texas largely denied that.

00:32:51.000 But the videos spoke for themselves.

00:32:53.000 However, New York City has now admitted that race is a priority in distributing COVID tests.

00:33:01.000 New York City health officials have been using race to decide how to allocate precious Chinese coronavirus testing resources, leaked emails from the agency show, according to the New York Post.

00:33:13.000 In a conversation with representatives from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, City Councilman Joe Borrelli's office said that constituents on Staten Island were having a tough time getting COVID tests.

00:33:26.000 But Staten Island is mostly white and middle class.

00:33:30.000 Despite having one of the highest rates, it's not a priority neighborhood because they're the wrong skin color.

00:33:41.000 The Department of Health decided to distribute COVID testing based on race because minority communities, quote, have borne the brunt of the pandemic due to structural racism.

00:33:56.000 Remember, Ibram X. Kendi, we need present discrimination to try and fix current discrimination for future outcomes or whatever.

00:34:07.000 We need to be racist today to fix the fact that people were racist yesterday.

00:34:13.000 So what is the consequence of the diversity mentality of diversity is our strength at all costs?

00:34:22.000 Yeah, it makes America really dangerous is what it is.

00:34:25.000 I mean, one thing, look, I'd be open-minded.

00:34:26.000 Okay, BLM, you guys get to run the country, which you have for the last year and a half.

00:34:32.000 You get all the money you could imagine.

00:34:34.000 Nicole Hannah Jones, you get four different homes.

00:34:36.000 Oprah, you get to act as if you're oppressed.

00:34:39.000 LeBron James, who's almost a billionaire, we get to act as if you're oppressed.

00:34:43.000 Like, okay, you're in charge.

00:34:45.000 Year and a half.

00:34:46.000 You burn down Wendy's.

00:34:47.000 You rob Gucci stores.

00:34:50.000 How's crime been?

00:34:53.000 Well, for inner city blacks that can't afford chauffeured cars and private guards, it's the most dangerous year in 10 of the country's most populous cities.

00:35:11.000 So yes, diversity can mean, when you focus on diversity, it can mean danger.

00:35:17.000 It can.

00:35:20.000 I don't know if diversity is our strength, actually.

00:35:22.000 I'm not so sure about that.

00:35:24.000 I think unity would actually be a strength.

00:35:26.000 Unity that we're all Americans.

00:35:29.000 They have a lot to answer for.
