The Charlie Kirk Show - When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody from the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:01.000 How do we rein in the judicial despotism?

00:00:03.000 Mike Davis joins the show and shocking numbers out of NYU of a leak that shows how significantly easier it is for a black student to get into NYU than a white or an Asian student.

00:00:15.000 If you are a white or an Asian person listening to this, you are actively being discriminated against when you try to go to college, when you try to get into certain schools.

00:00:23.000 If you are a grandparent of a kid that wants to get into these schools, you need to listen and listen carefully and text this episode to all of your friends.

00:01:52.000 Joining us now is Mike Davis.

00:01:55.000 Mike, welcome to the program.

00:01:56.000 Mike, we have not talked about Mr. Bosberg for a couple days, and I want to talk about all the courts and kind of how they're acting.

00:02:03.000 I first want a macro analysis from you.

00:02:08.000 What is your take on the judicial activism and the pernicious nature of the unelected judiciary undermining the will of the sovereign?

00:02:19.000 President Trump campaigned on the facts.

00:02:22.000 He's going to hire Elon Musk.

00:02:24.000 He's going to set up the Department of Government Efficiency.

00:02:27.000 And Doge is going to go after waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal government.

00:02:32.000 And we've seen a lot, and it's just the tip of the iceberg.

00:02:35.000 President Trump also campaigned on the facts.

00:02:38.000 That he's going to secure our borders.

00:02:41.000 He's going to designate Trende Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization, and he's going to get these terrorists the hell out of our country.

00:02:52.000 And the American people like what they heard, and on November 5th, they gave President Trump a broad, decisive electoral mandate.

00:03:01.000 312 electoral votes, all seven swing states, the popular vote.

00:03:05.000 We kept the House.

00:03:07.000 President Trump won back the Senate with a comfortable margin.

00:03:11.000 I'm glad the Senate finally understands they wouldn't have a majority for Republicans if it weren't for President Trump's decisive win on November 5th.

00:03:20.000 And President Trump is doing the unthinkable in Washington.

00:03:23.000 He's actually...

00:03:25.000 Doing what he promised American voters he would do, and he's doing it fast.

00:03:30.000 The first time he ran, he had never ran for office.

00:03:33.000 He had never served in office.

00:03:35.000 He made mistakes in his first term, even though it was an incredibly successful first term.

00:03:40.000 A big mistake was personnel.

00:03:42.000 He's not making those mistakes this time.

00:03:44.000 He had four years in office.

00:03:45.000 He had four years to reflect.

00:03:48.000 The Biden lawfare, the unprecedented Republican ending lawfare.

00:03:52.000 He's ready to govern on day one.

00:03:54.000 And the last line of Trump resistance is these activist judges.

00:04:01.000 You have these Democrats.

00:04:04.000 Partisan plaintiffs and lawyers run into these Democrat activist judges, particularly in Washington, D.C., and they are trying to sabotage the presidency.

00:04:15.000 They're trying to sabotage President Trump because of policy and political...

00:04:20.000 Disagreements. President Trump is not trying to steal Congress's legislative power under Article 1. President Trump is not trying to steal the Supreme Court's judicial power under Article 3. The president is exercising core Article 2 executive powers under Article 2, and you have these activist judges sabotaging him.

00:04:42.000 These are judicial saboteurs, and not only is it extremely lawless, it's getting...

00:04:50.000 Very dangerous.

00:04:51.000 You had a judge in D.C., a Canadian foreign citizen to this day, has a lifetime appointment on the bench, Judge Ali.

00:04:59.000 They bragged, the Biden administration bragged he's the first Muslim, he's the first Arab federal judge in D.C. Several weeks ago, this judge ordered the president to send out $2 billion in foreign aid over the president's national security review to make sure we're not funding Hamas terrorists to kill Americans under the guise of humanitarian relief in Gaza, or we're not funding waste, fraud, and abuse like transgender mice research.

00:05:27.000 Or whatever hellhole we were funding that research through USAID, the Supreme Court failed to stop this, Judge Ali.

00:05:35.000 And two weeks later, you have this D.C. Obama judge, Jeb Bosberg.

00:05:40.000 Not only, he held a Saturday hearing last Saturday, two Saturdays ago, where he exposed an ongoing military...

00:05:52.000 Law enforcement and intel operation putting American allied lives in grave danger.

00:05:57.000 He even ordered planes to turn around with Trende Aragua foreign terrorists and MS-13 international gangbangers.

00:06:06.000 This judge thought he could not only expose this military operation, but ordered the president to turn around planes.

00:06:13.000 We saw in El Salvador...

00:06:16.000 That this president had a massive security footprint of military law enforcement and intel officials ready to accept these terrorists.

00:06:24.000 We did not have that same footprint in America.

00:06:27.000 How would Jeb Boesburg have known what we had in America for security?

00:06:30.000 How would Jeb Boesburg have known the fuel on the planet?

00:06:35.000 I mean, but then what is the recourse?

00:06:36.000 He's just going to keep doing this and ignore people.

00:06:39.000 And so impeachment is not going to happen, and that's largely a waste of time.

00:06:43.000 We just don't have the votes to do that.

00:06:45.000 So then how do we rein in this judicial despotism?

00:06:49.000 Well, I would say this on several fronts, Charlie.

00:06:52.000 I was the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

00:06:55.000 I had the oversight portfolio for the federal judiciary, right?

00:06:59.000 And I know how these judges...

00:07:01.000 And I know how the Chief Justice thinks.

00:07:03.000 I clerked on the Supreme Court and was around the Chief Justice.

00:07:07.000 Personally a pleasant guy, but he operates in a very political way.

00:07:12.000 So it's time if these activist judges...

00:07:15.000 Want to take off their judicial robes and climb into the political arena and throw political punches like we saw with Judge Ali and Judge Boesberg.

00:07:24.000 We need to throw political counterpunches.

00:07:27.000 And that means going after their jurisdiction.

00:07:30.000 That means going after their funding.

00:07:32.000 And yes, it means having impeachment as leverage.

00:07:35.000 It's not a waste of time.

00:07:37.000 Even if we...

00:07:38.000 Don't have the votes in the Senate to remove them.

00:07:41.000 It's the mere threat of impeachment.

00:07:43.000 It's the mere sword of Damocles over their head.

00:07:45.000 It's the scarlet letter these judges would have if they faced an impeachment inquiry.

00:07:52.000 They don't want that.

00:07:52.000 I know they don't want that.

00:07:53.000 And so you use impeachment as the sword of Damocles over their heads to get them to understand that if they keep being activist judges, this is not...

00:08:05.000 Judicial review what these judges are doing.

00:08:08.000 This is judicial sabotage.

00:08:11.000 It is a clear violation of the separation of powers.

00:08:14.000 This is not judicial power they're exercising.

00:08:18.000 They're trying to tell the president that he has to turn around planes during a military operation.

00:08:22.000 Last time I checked, Jeb Bosberg is not a black trans woman, so I don't think Joe Biden would have hired him to be an air traffic controller, and he certainly... 1.00

00:08:33.000 not the commander in chief who can order the president to stop in the middle of military operations and turn them around and then make it doubling down on, He's asking the Justice Department to come in and reveal these classified or highly secret military operations.

00:08:54.000 Why would a foreign leader want to deal? 0.99

00:08:58.000 With a president of the United States on a high-risk operation like this, like the Salvadorian president just did, if the mission is going to get exposed publicly because an activist judge held a Saturday hearing, it puts American and allied lives in grave danger.

00:09:16.000 And if those planes would have turned around, the Salvadorian president would have been waiting there with hundreds of government officials to accept these terrorists, and they didn't show up.

00:09:26.000 That would have...

00:09:27.000 That would have humiliated a foreign ally. 0.79

00:09:30.000 It makes it less likely they'll do business with us.

00:09:33.000 That undermines the president's power as the commander-in-chief has power to conduct foreign affairs on behalf of the country.

00:09:42.000 So I would say this directly to the Chief Justice, John Roberts.

00:09:45.000 You need to get your judicial house in order.

00:09:49.000 And if you don't, Congress is going to do it for you.

00:09:53.000 I know that there is appetite to do this because I'm working with House and Senate leaders on this bill.

00:10:00.000 And I'll tell you what, there will be 60 votes if we have a bill that works with people like Sheldon Whitehouse to bring ethics reform to the Supreme Court, which is long what Sheldon Whitehouse is doing.

00:10:14.000 So this is very serious, and I hope the Chief Justice understands how serious.

00:10:19.000 This is when he lets his judicial saboteurs destroy the presidency.

00:10:24.000 This is a huge issue, and I want to get even further deeper into this.

00:10:28.000 Is there a moment where President Trump and his administration should say, we're just not going to listen to you, man.

00:10:33.000 We're not going to do this.

00:10:34.000 And it is time for the Supreme Court to intervene.

00:10:38.000 And I hope everybody in the audience understands this, that two partner countries of ours, Brazil and Israel, are living under similar Judicial despotism, but it is far, far worse.

00:10:52.000 If you have Brazil and Israel, they're basically controlled by an unelected Supreme Court that calls the shots, that can impeach presidents, that can overturn laws.

00:11:04.000 District courts should not have the authority to enjoin the entire country.

00:11:11.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:12.000 Remember that we vote every day with our dollar.

00:11:14.000 One of the best ways to support America is by buying from local farms and ranches.

00:11:19.000 Good Ranchers makes this easy by delivering 100% American meat to your door.

00:11:24.000 When you shop with Good Ranchers, you're not just getting the best meat for your family, but you're also supporting American farmers and ranchers.

00:11:30.000 Instead of buying imported meat, support American agriculture and our local economy.

00:11:35.000 I've used Good Ranchers meat for quite some time, and they never disappoint.

00:11:40.000 Whatever your choice of protein is, you'll be pleased with Good Ranchers.

00:11:43.000 Use code Kirk for $25 off your order and your choice of free chicken breasts, ground beef, bacon, or wild-caught salmon for a year.

00:11:52.000 It's time to take a stand.

00:11:54.000 Vote for American meat with Good Ranchers. 0.90

00:11:56.000 Your purchase helps keep American farms thriving and ensures you get the highest quality meat for your family.

00:12:06.000 That is GoodRanchers.com, promo code Kirk.

00:12:11.000 So, Mike Davis, is there a moment where you would advise President Trump and his team to flat-out ignore an injunction from a district court judge?

00:12:22.000 Yes, and I've done this very publicly with Judge Bosberg's lawless, dangerous order two Saturdays ago when he ran into court and said that the president...

00:12:33.000 Had to turn around planes full of terrorists and bring them to America. 0.60

00:12:37.000 And I don't say this lightly.

00:12:39.000 I've never called for anyone to ignore a judge's order.

00:12:42.000 I've never called for an impeachment of a judge like this.

00:12:45.000 And I've done both with Judge Bosberg because it is not only so lawless what he did.

00:12:51.000 Not only does he not have the jurisdiction to do what he did, he does not have the power to do what he did.

00:12:59.000 It's very dangerous what he did.

00:13:01.000 And if the president...

00:13:02.000 Would have complied with that temporary restraining order and turned around those planes full of terrorists or the president would reveal these sensitive, confidential, classified military operation details to this judge.

00:13:18.000 It is going to cause severe damage to our national security and the president's ability to conduct foreign relations.

00:13:27.000 Again, why would a foreign leader want to do business with the president if an activist judge in America is going to expose the military operation, cause the operation to cease, sabotage the military operation, and create political and personal risk for the foreign leader?

00:13:48.000 He had hundreds of officials awaiting these terrorists in El Salvador, and he's standing there.

00:13:54.000 You know, he's standing there looking stupid if we don't actually deliver these terrorists and if we don't follow through, this president is humiliated and it puts him at risk because now these terrorists have made him and his family a target.

00:14:14.000 This is wrong on so many levels.

00:14:17.000 What is the battle plan here, Mike?

00:14:19.000 So you talk about potentially impeachment.

00:14:21.000 What else is there?

00:14:22.000 If you were to design the master plan, you are the supreme general of the Allied forces, the supreme commander.

00:14:29.000 You are Dwight D. Eisenhower.

00:14:31.000 What is the attack plan?

00:14:33.000 Go one, two, three, four.

00:14:34.000 We've got a couple minutes remaining.

00:14:35.000 This is so easy.

00:14:37.000 There's an audience of one here, and it's the Chief Justice.

00:14:40.000 The Chief Justice needs to get his judicial house in order, or Congress is going to do it for him.

00:14:47.000 You are going to see a scenario where Boesburg, Boesburg the Clown, this activist judge in D.C., is going to keep digging in, doubling down, and you're going to see the President of the United States...

00:14:59.000 We have to ignore him.

00:15:00.000 That's going to be his constitutional duty to ignore this lawless, dangerous...

00:15:06.000 Order. Because it puts our national security at risk.

00:15:09.000 It makes it hard for the president to conduct foreign affairs.

00:15:12.000 And when that happens, the American people are going to be behind the president.

00:15:16.000 And when the federal judiciary loses its legitimacy with the American people, it loses everything.

00:15:21.000 It does not have an army.

00:15:23.000 Judge Bosberg's law clerks are not going to be able to turn around planes.

00:15:27.000 Even if he holds people in contempt, the president doesn't have to follow through on those contempt orders.

00:15:33.000 He can pardon people in contempt.

00:15:35.000 We cannot have the executive branch arrest people.

00:15:38.000 This is the red line, and the chief justice needs to understand he needs to get his judicial house in order.

00:15:43.000 They need to move forward in the house with impeachment inquiries. 0.64

00:15:46.000 They need to cut funding.

00:15:48.000 They need to change jurisdiction.

00:15:50.000 Judges have a modest but crucial rule.

00:15:53.000 It is to decide cases or controversies for parties before the court with redressable claims.

00:16:00.000 That's it.

00:16:01.000 They wear robes.

00:16:02.000 Not capes.

00:16:03.000 It's not their job to set national policy.

00:16:05.000 It's not their job to fly around the world and save terrorists.

00:16:09.000 They have a more modest but crucial role.

00:16:11.000 And that's Article 3 under our Constitution.

00:16:15.000 One would think.

00:16:17.000 Final point here.

00:16:19.000 Just to reiterate something you said previously.

00:16:21.000 John Roberts and the U.S. Supreme Court could put an end to this.

00:16:25.000 Is that right?

00:16:25.000 They could send a statement.

00:16:27.000 And I believe, I have no inside information to believe this, okay?

00:16:30.000 But I believe based on public remarks that Clarence Thomas is chomping at the bit.

00:16:36.000 I think he believes based on previous opinions that this nationwide injunction fury needs to be put to a stop.

00:16:43.000 And I believe Alito agrees.

00:16:45.000 Now whether or not Amy Coney Barrett... 0.96

00:16:47.000 You know, Keg City Cav and Gorsuch.

00:16:49.000 We'll see what happens.

00:16:50.000 Final thoughts, Mike Davis.

00:16:52.000 You saw Justice Alito put out a powerful dissent when Judge Ali ordered the president to send $2 billion out the door to his Hamas terrorist friends and transgender mice research, right?

00:17:05.000 And it is we can't have these judges take over the president's powers, especially...

00:17:12.000 Dealing with commander-in-chief powers and foreign affairs powers.

00:17:15.000 It is very dangerous.

00:17:16.000 The judges are not equipped to do this.

00:17:20.000 They are not equipped to write laws through nationwide injunctions, through TROs.

00:17:26.000 The chief justice has to get his judicial house in order.

00:17:29.000 And I promise the chief justice, if that does not happen, there is going to be a severe backlash, political backlash from Congress.

00:17:37.000 It's going to go after your funding.

00:17:38.000 It's going to go after your power.

00:17:40.000 And it's going to go after impeachment.

00:17:42.000 Mike Davis, thank you so much.

00:17:43.000 We are taking back our country from the black robe coup. 1.00

00:17:49.000 Did you know that private student loan debt totals over $300 billion?

00:17:54.000 About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed.

00:18:02.000 Why Refi does not care what your credit score is.

00:18:53.000 Okay, over the weekend, a hacker took over the webpage of NYU, New York University.

00:19:03.000 Obviously, we don't approve of breaking the law, but what's interesting is what they did while taking over the website.

00:19:10.000 What they did was publish a chart of test scores of people who got into NYU.

00:19:14.000 What that chart showed was that despite an order from the U.S. Supreme Court two years ago, NYU engaged in extreme racial discrimination against whites and Asians.

00:19:25.000 The war on white people continues. 0.68

00:19:28.000 We have a very special guest.

00:19:30.000 His name is Krenu.

00:19:32.000 He is a statistician and he posts actively on X and also is a very successful sub-stack blog.

00:19:38.000 He says he's been given access to this data and that this hacker is publicizing.

00:19:42.000 He also prefers to maintain his anonymity.

00:19:44.000 So he's going to join us using an AI-generated voice, which I completely support.

00:19:49.000 By the way, we can make fun of it.

00:19:50.000 Anonymous speech is uniquely American and we should protect it at all costs.

00:19:55.000 Cray Mew joins us now.

00:19:56.000 Cray Mew, thank you for joining the program.

00:19:58.000 What did you learn in this data dump?

00:20:00.000 Hi there, Charlie.

00:20:04.000 First of all, this is an amazing data dump.

00:20:06.000 This is the data for 3 million students going back to the late 1980s, and there's just a huge amount of information here.

00:20:14.000 There's test scores, there's grades, there's extracurriculars, there's all sorts of information about where these kids are from and what their backgrounds are, and just all sorts of stuff that tells us how well qualified they'll be to do well when they're at NYU.

00:20:29.000 And what we found is that...

00:20:32.000 NYU is really, really pushing down on Asian and white students, and they are boosting the... 1.00

00:20:39.000 They're bringing in a lot more Hispanic and black students than would be justified from their GPAs, from their test scores, from anything we can see.

00:20:49.000 Like, for example, Asian students, they tend to do a lot of extracurriculars.

00:20:53.000 They do more than white students.

00:20:54.000 They do more than Hispanic students.

00:20:55.000 They do more than black students.

00:20:57.000 Somehow, despite more extracurriculars...

00:21:00.000 More impressive extracurriculars, more Olympiad wins, more...

00:21:03.000 Basically everything that signals a good student, they get admitted way, way less than they should.

00:21:09.000 And if they were admitting meritocratically at NYU, the number of Asians would double. 0.99

00:21:14.000 The number of whites would go up by about a quarter.

00:21:17.000 It would go from about 23% to about 30%.

00:21:20.000 The number of Hispanics would go from about 10% to roughly 1%.

00:21:24.000 And the number of black students would go from about 4% to about half a percent.

00:21:28.000 So they're putting...

00:21:29.000 A really, really heavy hand on the scale here.

00:21:33.000 And it's against federal law and federal guidelines that President Trump issued.

00:21:39.000 Walk us deeper into the numbers.

00:21:42.000 What is the average SAT score that a black student gets to go into NYU?

00:21:47.000 And what does the equivalent average Asian or white student need to get to get into NYU?

00:21:53.000 Yeah, so the average Black student who goes to NYU has an SAT score of 1289.87, so about 1290.

00:22:01.000 The average Asian student who goes in has a score of about 1486.

00:22:06.000 So there's a roughly 200-point gap between Black and Asian students.

00:22:11.000 It's interesting, though, if you look at the rejected students, rejected Asians have an average SAT score of about 1382, which is still about 100 points higher than the average admitted Black student.

00:22:23.000 Even when they are, they're rejecting lots of qualified Asian students.

00:22:27.000 They're rejecting lots of qualified white students.

00:22:29.000 Their average rejected score is 1361, which is also higher than the accepted black average.

00:22:36.000 It's higher than the accepted Hispanic average.

00:22:39.000 They are just, they don't seem to be caring much about the qualifications of the students.

00:22:45.000 They care a lot more about race.

00:22:47.000 And to be fair...

00:22:48.000 They said they were going to do this.

00:22:50.000 Back when the Supreme Court made the decision, NYU immediately called it a step backwards.

00:22:56.000 And then they said that they would be remaining committed to promoting diversity on campus, which is basically an admission.

00:23:03.000 They were going to do exactly this.

00:23:05.000 So they said it and they did it.

00:23:07.000 So a lot of schools are doing this.

00:23:09.000 Are they just gambling that the courts won't crack down on them?

00:23:12.000 That they're just going to be blatantly breaking the law?

00:23:17.000 Is that basically their current calculation?

00:23:20.000 Yeah, and there's some precedent for this.

00:23:22.000 So a lot of schools have actually been breaking the law for a long time, even after they've been explicitly told to stop doing this on their own.

00:23:29.000 So, for example, the University of Michigan was told back in the day that they should not be doing affirmative action.

00:23:33.000 They were explicitly banned from it directly in a Gore case.

00:23:37.000 And what did they do?

00:23:38.000 They still engage in affirmative action.

00:23:41.000 They tried to claim that they were doing it through, for example, stepping up their recruitment efforts by recruiting people specifically in inner cities and whatnot.

00:23:49.000 But the reality is that there was...

00:23:51.000 Unfortunately, the administration hasn't...

00:24:08.000 Compelled universities to release the data required to show that they're breaking the law.

00:24:14.000 We're lucky that this hacker has jumped in and provided us with all the data we need to show, yes, they are definitely breaking the law.

00:24:20.000 They are doing what they're not supposed to be doing.

00:24:23.000 This is a rare insight.

00:24:25.000 It is a very rare insight.

00:24:27.000 Can you explain to the uninitiated in our audience the standard deviation difference between getting a 1485 on the SAT and a 1289?

00:24:36.000 Some people might say, well, that's only 200-point difference.

00:24:39.000 But talk about how big of a standard deviation that is in test scoring, especially with moving averages and admission.

00:24:46.000 Is that remarkable, that kind of a difference?

00:24:50.000 That is very remarkable.

00:24:51.000 This is a very, very large difference.

00:24:53.000 So this is the difference between, for example, being put in a remedial mathematics course in high school and being in an AP class.

00:25:01.000 This is the difference between a doctor, like a medical doctor, your average medical doctor and your average man on the street.

00:25:08.000 This is the difference between...

00:25:11.000 My gosh, it's a massive, massive difference.

00:25:13.000 It's a whole standard deviation.

00:25:14.000 And when you have selection, meaning the university selects people who are talented enough to go there, you know, with their hand on the scale, when you have it, it reduces the variance more.

00:25:24.000 So this difference becomes more magnified.

00:25:26.000 This is actually closer to one and a half standard deviation.

00:25:30.000 So it's like comparing a neurosurgeon to a man on the street.

00:25:36.000 It's a very, very large difference.

00:25:37.000 Everybody can kind of understand that that's...

00:25:39.000 Pretty huge, and I think that's just how it is.

00:25:42.000 It's remarkable how large it is.

00:25:44.000 I can grasp that.

00:25:46.000 Talk about what this actually then means for the campus culture.

00:25:49.000 Not that this is the most, what I think is the best argument, but what does this then mean for a classroom where you have someone that should not be in the class?

00:26:00.000 Does this bring down the quality of instruction because teachers then have to instruct the lowest common denominator?

00:26:07.000 Absolutely. So what this does is it makes it so, for example, you need to have remedial mathematics courses.

00:26:13.000 You need to have courses that are simpler.

00:26:15.000 You can't have rigorous organic chemistry classes.

00:26:18.000 You can't have all of the difficult weeder classes because, well, they're just too hard for a lot of the students who are coming in.

00:26:24.000 These students, they fail more often.

00:26:26.000 They are more likely to just not do anything interesting during their time.

00:26:31.000 They're less likely to have research experience, and yet they're favored all the way.

00:26:34.000 They're favored in terms of getting admitted, and they're favored in terms of getting picked up later.

00:26:39.000 And they kind of, so it's a pipeline from undergraduate admissions through to graduate admissions through to medical school and all that.

00:26:46.000 And by letting underqualified students in at these early stages, you also let them in at later stages, and that reverberates.

00:26:53.000 So throughout society, we're going to see a lot of professionals who are underqualified everywhere.

00:26:58.000 Because elite schools like New York University, like Northwestern, like Harvard, like Yale, they let in people who just shouldn't have made the cut or should have gone elsewhere until they're going to launder the status of those universities, the degrees they get from there, up towards brighter horizons for them, but a bleaker future for the rest of us.

00:27:16.000 We're going to have to end up with doctors who are less qualified to do their jobs.

00:27:20.000 We're going to end up with researchers who are...

00:27:22.000 You know, it's somewhat zero fund, zero sum or research money out there that they're going to divert funds from smarter people, better people who could have done a better job towards people who are less qualified and less capable of actually making a difference with that money.

00:27:37.000 The social implications of this are huge.

00:27:39.000 The implications on campus are huge.

00:27:41.000 You're going to see more protesters, for example.

00:27:44.000 A lot of them are like underqualified people, people who have a lot, you know, don't really value their time very much.

00:27:49.000 The sorts of people who are more likely to be lazy in high school and so they didn't get as good grades as those Asian kids who, you know, put in the work and should be about, you know, twice the rate they are. 0.84

00:28:00.000 There's really enormous implications here.

00:28:03.000 So let me ask you, in closing here, you're a data guy.

00:28:07.000 Do we have the data of what all these results, with all these results in?

00:28:11.000 Do less qualified doctors make more mistakes?

00:28:13.000 What does this then mean for society at large?

00:28:17.000 They do, yes.

00:28:19.000 They are more likely to get complaints against them by patients.

00:28:23.000 They are more likely to be sued.

00:28:24.000 They are more likely to have malpractice suits brought up.

00:28:28.000 They are more likely to injure people.

00:28:29.000 They are more likely to fail at surgeries.

00:28:32.000 They are more likely to have a wide array of bad outcomes.

00:28:37.000 And this is obviously bad.

00:28:40.000 There is some need to have doctors who aren't super smart. 0.95

00:28:44.000 They can just prescribe antibiotics.

00:28:47.000 When it comes down to the specialties, when it comes down to the end-of-life stuff, like, oh, you need a critical surgery for your cancer, you need a critical surgery for fixing something in your brain, then you really want the best qualified people.

00:28:57.000 And unfortunately, those prestigious programs, they love to pick people who are...

00:29:03.000 The term sounds insulting, but it's the reality.

00:29:05.000 They are affirmative action candidates because they want to launder prestige towards these people.

00:29:10.000 They want to take people who are not qualified, who are historically underrepresented, and they want to make them look considerably better.

00:29:17.000 And that leads to massive misallocation that is arguably worse in the most important fields because those are the highest prestige fields.

00:29:25.000 And because the highest prestige fields are getting messed up the most, the impacts are larger than you might expect from just a glance.

00:29:32.000 It could be pretty bad.

00:29:34.000 Kremu, excellent analysis.

00:29:35.000 Thank you for taking the time.

00:29:37.000 I want to put that chart up one more time here before we say goodbye.

00:29:40.000 This is what's happening to our elite institutions.

00:29:43.000 Look at that.

00:29:45.000 That at NYU, this is New York University blatantly violating federal law.

00:29:51.000 Average test score for a black student that comes in.

00:29:54.000 Average test score for an Asian student.

00:29:55.000 That is active discrimination against white and Asians.

00:29:59.000 You want to see DEI in practice, affirmative action in practice?

00:30:02.000 It's right there.

00:30:04.000 Thank you so much, Krami.

00:30:05.000 We'll talk to you soon.

00:30:06.000 Thank you.

00:30:07.000 By the way, the 14th Amendment allegedly says all this is illegal.

00:30:10.000 Why should the federal government fund discrimination based on race?

00:30:16.000 Are you tired of Hollywood elites and woke corporations deciding what gets made?

00:31:26.000 Do you want to be happy?

00:31:29.000 If you want to be happy and if you are a woman, it's pretty simple.

00:31:33.000 Get married and have kids.

00:31:34.000 That's not just my opinion.

00:31:36.000 That's not just the truths of the scriptures.

00:31:38.000 Look at this latest data.

00:31:41.000 The latest data shows very simple that women's happiness by marital status And children ages 18 to 55. If you are married with no kids, you rate yourself as pretty happy or very happy nearly 84% of the time.

00:32:00.000 If you are married with kids, you rate yourself as very happy 39% of the time or pretty happy 47% of the time and not too happy 12% of the time.

00:32:12.000 But if you are unmarried...

00:32:14.000 Without kids, which of course is the base of the Democrat Party, the base of the Democrat Party is unmarried, no kids, you are not too happy one out of four times. 0.58

00:32:26.000 One out of four times.

00:32:27.000 And you're only very happy 21.5% of the time.

00:32:32.000 Now we know this to be true because women largely are designed to have children. 1.00

00:32:38.000 They want to have children.

00:32:40.000 They have a biological urge and a need to have children.

00:32:43.000 And suppressing that need turns you into a deeply unhappy person.

00:32:50.000 Here's our family right here.

00:32:51.000 You can put 122 up on screen.

00:32:52.000 The happiest you will be is when you start to have kids.

00:32:55.000 And the modern left tells you to ignore that, to wage war on your own biology.

00:33:02.000 This is the new Snow White, the new Disney boss babe, who is Rachel Zegler, the inverse of happy. 0.61

00:33:12.000 I'm guessing that she's not married.

00:33:14.000 I'm guessing that she doesn't have kids.

00:33:16.000 The movie is a complete disaster, by the way.

00:33:19.000 Playcut 121.

00:33:21.000 I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so.

00:33:27.000 There is a big focus on her love story.

00:33:31.000 With a guy who literally stalks her.

00:33:34.000 Weird. Weird.

00:33:35.000 Super weird.

00:33:36.000 So we didn't do that this time.

00:33:38.000 So no prince or a different kind of prince?

00:33:40.000 We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie, Andrew Burnett.

00:33:48.000 Great dude.

00:33:49.000 It's one of those things that I think everyone's going to have their assumptions about what it's actually going to be, but it's really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful.

00:33:59.000 And whether or not she finds love along the way is anybody's guess until 2024.

00:34:02.000 All of Andrew's scenes could get cut.

00:34:05.000 Who knows?

00:34:05.000 It's Hollywood, baby.

00:34:06.000 But it's one of those things.

00:34:08.000 That's so true.

00:34:08.000 It's an inner journey that she goes on to find her true self.

00:34:11.000 And she meets a lot of people along the way that make the journey really incredible.

00:34:15.000 An inner journey to go find her true self.

00:34:18.000 The movie is doing catastrophically.

00:34:20.000 They spent $300 million and it currently has a 2.2 out of 10 rating.

00:34:27.000 A 2.2 out of 10 rating on IMDb.

00:34:31.000 That's really bad.

00:34:32.000 Now Disney, I'm not here to try to save you money, but Bob Iger obviously does not have control over all the Wokies. 1.00

00:34:39.000 And you cast her as Snow White?

00:34:42.000 I could have told you that would not have been a good idea.

00:34:45.000 And she's the inverse of happy.

00:34:48.000 It turns out people do not want to spend their hard-earned money to go watch rubbish.

00:34:54.000 To go watch a steaming pile of garbage.

00:34:57.000 Against nature.

00:35:00.000 Rachel Zegler puts on her social media, not exactly sure what she's saying here, but she says we must forge a new path forward.

00:35:13.000 May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.

00:35:16.000 Oh, that's when Trump got elected.

00:35:17.000 Okay, I didn't know what that was.

00:35:19.000 Well, Snow White didn't do very well. 1.00

00:35:23.000 If you want to be happy as a woman, Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
