00:04:43.120I mean, look what they did with Trump.
00:04:44.040I mean, I know there's a Drew Holden had a great thread of all the things they said about Trump.
00:04:48.840Think piece after think piece after think piece about how we have to absolutely take it seriously that he could only he had that issue where he had to use his other hand to help himself take a drink of water.
00:04:58.900And he looked like he was walking very gingerly down the ramp.
00:08:07.420Yeah, that's that's a fascinating theory, especially because going back a long time, Department of Justice records show that the most common attacker of an Asian person is an African-American.
00:08:18.240Despite being one fifth of the population of white people, that is the most and not an Asian people are tied with white people for how many people attack Asian people.
00:08:31.320So, again, this idea that there is some sort of bizarre epidemic of violence against Asian Americans by white supremacists is not shown really anywhere in the data.
00:08:45.680I mean, it doesn't seem to do you need it.
00:08:48.660You have the vice president now of the San Francisco school board talking about what's really going on with Asians.
00:08:56.020Now, of course, this woman is very conservative being the vice president of the school board in San Francisco.
00:09:03.120She has said many Asian students and teachers I know won't engage in critical race conversations unless they see how they are impacted by white supremacy.
00:09:17.100She says, I grew up in a mostly Asian American school, and I know this experience all too well.
00:09:22.660Many Asian Americans believe they benefit from the model minority BS.
00:09:27.120In fact, many Asian Americans, teachers, students, and parents actively promote these myths.
00:09:34.020They use white supremacist thinking to assimilate and get ahead.
00:09:38.780Talk to many Lowell High School parents and you'll hear praise of tiger moms and disparagement of black and brown culture.
00:09:48.180Where are the vocal Asians speaking out against Trump?
00:09:51.540Don't Asian Americans know that they're on his list as well?
00:09:54.640Do they think they won't be deported, beaten?
00:09:57.940Being a house N-word is still being an N-word.
00:10:27.520I only hear this from white nationalists, this level of obsession.
00:10:32.120And I guess you go to a white nationalist conference, you might see this sort of obsession with color of skin.
00:10:39.120But this is what we're getting from so many who are in control of the lives of your children.
00:10:44.420And, you know, a lot of people, we've heard a lot from people in California.
00:10:48.220And a lot of them have been saying, hey, open up those schools.
00:10:52.740Do you know what you're asking for here?
00:10:55.220Maybe this is the best year of your kid's life.
00:10:59.560Maybe your kid being taught by you or someone near you in a group sort of setting.
00:11:06.760Maybe even just being taught by Netflix, you know, and Star Wars movies might be even better than this.
00:11:14.740By the way, the Recall San Francisco School Board campaign, the ones that found these tweets, she said, I am not going to even address tweets that were written five years ago.
00:11:41.860These are liberals in San Francisco that are banding together and saying enough of this.
00:11:48.460By the way, she represents schools, the school that she's talking about and the school that she's overseeing, the schools, is a mainly Asian area.
00:11:59.720And she's calling them white supremacist or using white supremacist philosophies, which is.
00:12:07.700Do good in school, do work hard, be a model student, be a model citizen, a model for what whites.
00:12:49.400Wait until it'll it'll boggle your mind.
00:12:52.280Could I just leave this segment with some common sense from Bill Maher?
00:12:57.920Listen to what he is saying on segregation and who's to blame.
00:13:03.000We seem to be entering an era of resegregation that's coming from the left.
00:13:08.420I mean, on many college campuses, you can have there are separate dorms, separate black dorms, graduation ceremonies, stuff like that.
00:13:16.980But how will that affect elections in the future?
00:13:19.860You know, I think there's there's a lot of there is a great study in North Carolina that showed that, you know, racially integrated schools make people more more liberal.
00:13:28.540But, you know, I think just to go back, I think that the important thing is to just realize that most nonwhite voters are not liberal.
00:13:41.920And I think that when it like realizing that most voters don't share our values means that we should instead try to meet people where they are with the values that they actually hold and that we should talk them about issues that they care about.
00:13:54.520That's one of the, you know, brainiacs from the Center for American Progress.
00:14:02.980I never thought I would live in an era.
00:14:05.780I remember watching movies about the 50s and the blacklist era when people would whisper that you were a communist and all it took was somebody informing on you and saying, oh, they saw you at a rally or at some peace march.
00:14:19.140And you were branded and your career was over or you were on the blacklist.
00:14:23.300People go to parties now and they like they don't want to talk.
00:16:43.620Contractor means any and all persons, individuals, corporations, businesses of any kind that are in any manner entered into a contract, perform a subcontract pursuant to a contract with the state of New Hampshire.
00:16:54.780Divisive concept means the concept that a one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex.
00:17:06.700B. The state of New Hampshire, the United States, is fundamentally racist or sexist.
00:17:12.140C. An individual, by virtue of his race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.
00:17:19.320D. An individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because his or her race or sex.
00:17:28.460E. Members of one race or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race or sex.
00:17:36.840F. An individual's moral character is necessarily determined by his race or sex.
00:17:43.120G. An individual, by virtue of his race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.
00:17:52.220H. Any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex.
00:18:00.320Or I. Meritocracy or traits such as hard work ethic are racist or sexist or were created by a particular race to oppose another race.
00:18:12.420I. I could have read this to you 10 years ago and said, we're going to have to start passing bills like this and they're going to be hard to pass 10 years from now.
00:18:28.660It I mean, what is what where is the controversial part of that?
00:18:33.440The one part that they push back on occasionally on these things is and I believe this is a correct criticism that you can't really have affirmative action without these sorts of when you have these in place, you can't really have affirmative action.
00:18:49.580Now, as a person who opposes affirmative action, I'm totally fine with that.
00:18:52.320But like California ran into some of this when they had laws that really made it seem like you're not supposed to treat people differently because of their skin color, which is obviously supposedly universal concept.
00:19:04.340But we want to do all these affirmative action programs.
00:19:09.340But I believe it was D of what you just read that said no adverse.
00:19:15.520Can you read the wording of that one again?
00:19:16.920Yeah, D is an individual should be if they're teaching that any individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of his race or sex.
00:19:29.340So that's even keeping it open to positive treatment because of your sex or your race.
00:21:04.260And the fact of the matter is that this is the talking point that has stuck with some Republicans in my state, including my Republican governor, Chris Sununu, who is now listening to this Democratic talking point, rather than listening to the Republicans in the House that are trying to pass this bill and to the voters who elected him.
00:21:24.320So what are our Democrats on in lockstep on this?
00:21:29.960Or are there some Democrats, you know, like Bill Maher was over the weekend saying this is this this has got to stop?
00:21:37.380No, I mean, the Democrats are pretty much in lockstep.
00:21:39.660There might be one that might defect our way.
00:21:42.300But no, they're they're pretty much in alignment on this one.
00:21:44.860But what are the people that, you know, that are on the left, not not the politicians, the people that, you know, are they against this?
00:21:54.220You know, they I think that they've actually started to convince themselves that a concept like one race is not superior to another race is actually a racist concept.
00:22:04.800I really think that they have bought into this ideology.
00:22:51.100And a lot of people in New Hampshire think that this bill isn't needed in New Hampshire.
00:22:54.860But the matter is this this training is happening all over the place.
00:22:59.060It's happened at the University of New Hampshire.
00:23:00.860We just found out last week that the school districts in Manchester, New Hampshire, the largest school district, I believe, in the state has done anti-whiteness training.
00:23:08.700It's happening in the Bedford schools.
00:23:10.360It's happening in the Concord schools.
00:23:11.660It's happening at Southern New Hampshire University.
00:23:13.380It's happening all over the place, right in front of people.
00:23:16.780And they still are convinced that something like this isn't necessary.
00:23:19.660Well, you are somebody that goes into organizations.
00:23:21.800You're you're somebody who goes into to corporations and tries to help make those corporations better.
00:23:28.340I bet your business isn't going well, seeing that you won't be involved with critical race theory and are standing against it.
00:23:35.000But, you know, that businesses are having to do these.
00:23:40.400They're they're doing them all over the country.
00:23:45.220And they're being forced into a position of doing them by their H.R. team and by their employees.
00:23:49.400And, you know, I'll tell you what is my is my training business going well?
00:23:52.600Not exactly, because, as you said, I refuse to pander to this ideology.
00:23:56.040But I'll tell you what is going well is my coaching business, where I'm coaching executives through exactly how to deal with this in their organizations, because executives don't want to do it.
00:24:05.640And they feel like they're being forced into a position of needing to based on what their employees are asking of them.
00:25:45.100That's been I think Carlin, we heard, went over the different objections and one by one, those kind of disappeared.
00:25:55.120And it focused on this free speech argument.
00:25:58.380What's really interesting about our legislature is we have 400 members and they're from all walks of life.
00:26:04.860And it just so happens that one of our former chief justices of our Supreme Court, our state Supreme Court, is now a freshman representative.
00:26:41.360Government doesn't have a free speech right.
00:26:44.380People that work for the government when they're operating under the authority of the government don't have that right in the course of their employment.
00:26:53.740But as individuals, we all have that right.
00:26:55.940So I thought that was a very interesting take on, you know, whether it violates free speech.
00:27:01.880So if the individual and we we see this, you know, practice, in fact, that's what they're hunting in the Pentagon now is anybody who was online saying anything that they shouldn't have said.
00:27:12.720And if you're a military member, you're not supposed to be involved in any kind of discussion on on policies, et cetera, et cetera.
00:27:20.100And so we've seen that before and the left seems to accept that they won't accept it when it comes to, you know, school teachers and university professors and everything else.
00:27:32.380But would it protect them if they were saying if the curriculum was not there, but they were teaching it anyway?
00:27:46.520Like if the bill really addresses anything taxpayer funded.
00:27:49.980So if taxpayer money is funding some kind of training that deals with diversity, it doesn't ban diversity training.
00:27:55.900And what it does is it puts guidelines on what types of trainings are acceptable and obviously ones that violate that list that you read, you know, wouldn't be acceptable if this bill is passed.
00:28:08.480The interesting thing about the genesis of this bill is it came from a university professor in one of our state institutions.
00:28:16.180Uh, and that person wanted to remain anonymous, but they're seeing it in their place of employment, you know, creeping in and it's very difficult to push back against it.
00:28:27.780So that is one of the, that's one of the things that, um, I noticed in reading about the bill is that there are a lot of people that are asking to be kept out of this, but they are standing up at least quietly, but they're all terrified of the blowback.
00:28:44.880Like that should not happen in America.
00:28:50.040And so, you know, if anyone's listening in other States, contact your state legislators, because that's where this battle needs to go next is to our state houses.
00:28:59.040Uh, but you have, you have a Republican, uh, in Chris Sununu.
00:29:30.840So that's what I'll, I'll, I'll do here.
00:29:32.740Um, I think what happened was he got blindsided in a, uh, in a press conference about COVID.
00:29:41.100I think it was, you know, they asked him a question about this bill and it may have been at that time that he had only heard of it on NHPR when they were, uh, you know, kind of slamming it about the free speech issue.
00:30:00.100You know, there's more than one way to skin a cat and, uh, I'll, I'll, I'll put that teaser out there, but I think we'll be able to get something accomplished.
00:30:08.780This term, uh, regarding that language in 544.
00:30:24.800I mean, I kind of, uh, in some ways I think of the old days when they would take these, uh, bills and make them into broadsides and, and, uh, nail them to trees and people would gather around and read them.
00:30:38.180Trying to get people to read this has got to be almost impossible, but you need to read it because you can ask your friends, what part of this do you disagree with?
00:30:48.600And bring it to your state, bring it to your state representative or your state Senator and say, we need this in, in our state, because this is a poison that is being spread.
00:31:01.040Uh, it's called critical race theory and it is everywhere, everywhere.
00:31:52.100They're doing it because they're going to start getting, um, uh, ESG ratings.
00:32:00.360And if you invest it all in the stock market, you're 401k or anything, especially Charles Schwab.
00:32:07.500I think bank of America has just started this as well.
00:32:12.320All the banks have it on all the investment firms have it, but what it is is to help you invest because we know you want to be socially minded.
00:32:22.720And so they're getting an ESG score, environment, social justice, and governance score.
00:32:31.520So do they work with their government?
00:32:33.760Do they work with their local government?
00:32:35.700Can they justify their business license?
00:32:41.700And are they teaching critical race theory?
00:32:43.640When that score goes down, Merrill Lynch and, and other groups then tell their investors, uh, you might not want to get in with this group because they have a very low ESG score.
00:34:16.740So, uh, I help to prepare people who are going to, uh, be helping adults, uh, who are in mental distress.
00:34:24.980And, uh, I also help to prepare, uh, counselors who are going to be working in the schools, who are going to be, um, working with children who are, uh, experiencing, uh, distress as well.
00:34:38.820So, it's not that I would dismiss, you know, uh, uh, you know, a professor of mathematics if he had the same view, but this is really in your alley.
00:34:52.920And the, um, the encroachment of, uh, critical race theory into, uh, psychotherapy is, is truly, uh, frightening in its implications for, uh, the mental health of both, uh, children and adults.
00:35:14.680Well, um, there, there are two different reasons, uh, for, uh, children, children need a particular environment in which to flourish.
00:35:28.020And it's, it's, it's an environment where no conditions are placed upon their sense of self-worth.
00:35:35.520Now, obviously there are, uh, rules that they need to learn and so forth, but you don't, you don't, um, you don't convey to a child that they are, uh, uh, good or bad.
00:35:54.480Based on what they, um, what they do and this ideology, and in particular, uh, Kendi's version of anti-racism, um, uh, establishes very, uh, strict parameters, uh, of, of, uh, viewing oneself and other people as either good or evil.
00:36:20.780Uh, but in, in, in Kendi's language, he's using the term racist or anti-racist, but it's, it's essentially a good, you're either good or evil morality, uh, ideology.
00:36:33.940And it's not, there's, there's no, uh, I mean, to me, it's teaching our children that you don't have a chance if you're, if you're white now, you really don't have a chance because you're part of, you know, team evil.
00:36:48.840And if you are, if you are a person of color, well, they're teaching you, you really don't have a chance unless we all get together and stop these people on team evil.
00:37:01.920So it, it, it, it's just crushing you, the individual, is it not?
00:37:09.760It, it, it, it is saying that, uh, in, in order to be, um, an acceptable person, you must first claim fealty to this ideology.
00:37:21.180And I would just add to that, that, um, for, for, for children of color, black children, uh, they are not safe from this either.
00:37:30.280Because if, if, if they don't, if they don't, uh, toe this line, then they have, there are lots of interesting names that are being created within academia, um, for them.
00:37:42.940The most, uh, the, the, the one that I've just heard recently that's come out is, uh, multiracial whiteness.
00:37:51.360And it's a way to take a person of color, uh, or a black person and say, well, you're just white.
00:37:57.840And, and, uh, which, which is meant to be an insult from that perspective.
00:38:03.800So I, I don't, I don't even know if this is, I, this conversation can get derailed by, uh, thinking of this in terms of a white thing or a black thing.
00:38:18.720What this, what this really is, is this is a racist thing.
00:38:22.580It's racism and, and, and racism is contagious and it, it, it, it once, all it needs is a foothold in an air of legitimacy and then it will flow out into society and, and be adopted, uh, widely to the detriment of every, uh, person.
00:38:44.340And the university of Vermont right now is giving, uh, the habits of mind that inform racism.
00:38:52.980They are, the administration is presenting this as a form of intellectual refinement.
00:38:59.880And right now, uh, it gains legitimacy by saying, well, we're focusing on whiteness, but you know, no, no habit of mind that is so crude and so destructive is going to stay focused on whiteness.
00:39:17.300This is going to find its way to the doorstep of persons who have the least amount of power in society to defend themselves from it.
00:39:46.720They're coming in from war torn countries.
00:39:48.820Those people, uh, need a liberal society, one in which they are protected, uh, from, uh, from, uh, you know, uh, ridiculous views and categorizations about who they are.
00:40:07.100And, uh, traditional liberalism that looks at people as, uh, individuals and that insists that any claims about individuals be subjected to skepticism and empiricism helps to protect even the least powerful among us.
00:40:26.920Uh, when we start making unsubstantiated claims about a link between a particular race and, uh, you know, vaguely defined social ills, it tends to find its way, uh, down to the people who are not in a position to protect themselves.
00:40:48.540Uh, I hate to bring it here, but I'm, uh, I, unfortunately I'm going to the, um, I, I, I'm, uh, you know, historian wannabe and I collect a lot of, uh, a lot of documents, uh, and, uh, I collect a lot of the dark side stuff about America and the world.
00:41:08.380And, um, um, I have the teacher's manuals from Germany that teach how the Jews are subhuman and, and, and, and, and how the children are to treat those Jews.
00:41:25.500Uh, and I see a lot of similarities here.
00:41:29.060Uh, you know, we had that study was in the 1960s, maybe 1960, where the classroom was told we're going to do blue eyes and brown eyes.
00:41:37.860And by the time they went out for recess, they were, they were already in separate groups.
00:41:43.700I mean, this is what we're doing, isn't it?
00:41:48.320And the thing is, Glenn, like even, even two years ago, I would have said, Oh no, you know, we're not to that point yet.
00:42:00.020But I think we are dangerously, dangerously close to coming, uh, uh, to a point, uh, that you're talking about with these teaching manuals.
00:42:11.660I haven't had, I have been wanting to go back and look at what this looked like when it happened in Germany, because I, I'm, I'm absolutely convinced that the thought processes,
00:42:24.440the habits of mind and yeah, and the dehumanization are the same.
00:42:31.040I think where people keep getting derailed, um, in, in recognizing this as, uh, as much of a problem as it is, is that they, they think of this in terms of, um, well, this is just, you know, this is just society talking back to the powerful, but they, they have to realize.
00:42:51.620And what they mean by that is, you know, that, that, that white people are considered to exist higher on, uh, on this intersectional ladder.
00:43:02.540But this, this way, this way of thinking is so contagious and it's, you know, I'm sure that there are good intentions behind, uh, you know, turning towards whiteness, but it would take, it would take virtually no time at all for the conversation.
00:43:19.960And I'm even hearing whispers about this now to where now Asian people are part of the problem because look, they're even more successful, uh, than white people are yet.
00:43:30.420You're beginning to hear whispers of that.
00:43:34.620We're with, uh, Aaron Kinsvater, uh, a professor who is in trouble at his university.
00:43:40.420How much trouble, first of all, are you in?
00:43:57.740Being on the Glenn Beck program is not going to help you.
00:44:00.440Well, I, I, I, what, one of the things that I appreciate about you, Mr. Beck, is that, that I do think that you are someone who, uh, has spoken, uh, to both sides of the political aisle.
00:44:16.900And it doesn't mean that you have to think about, uh, you don't have to believe what people on the other side of the aisle believe, but you, you do send out, uh, a message of unity.
00:44:27.860And I, um, people are talking about our, our great, uh, polarization in this country right now.
00:44:36.320I'm, I'm starting to think that it's going to be like, uh, people like you and I, who are, uh, talking to our, our neighbors and our friends and sitting down and saying, let's, let's have a conversation about our differences.
00:44:50.280That is going to lead us forward rather than the, um, you know, rather than institutions that are putting on programs like turning towards whiteness.
00:44:59.180The, the, the, I will tell you that it's going to take the low, it's going to take local effort and it's going to take person to person just reaching out and going, come on.
00:45:06.820I mean, cause you said in your speech, uh, let me see if I can find it here real quick.
00:45:10.840You said, um, about unity that, that we have a lot in, uh, common.
00:45:17.120And you said, we, we all share the same values.
00:45:20.160We all want the same thing for our university and our society.
00:45:26.260Well, not at the university of Vermont.
00:45:29.180Uh, but I do think that that I am absolutely convinced that this is true among most people, but at the university of Vermont, their response, uh, uh, to me, the provost response was to say, uh, my values, uh,
00:45:47.120uh, do not represent the values of the university and, um, uh, uh, and then, uh, encouraged, uh, to some degree, uh, members of the university and including colleagues in my department in their, um, in, in the steps that they were taking to, uh, ostracize me.
00:46:13.520So that, that was a pretty shocking response from the, uh, provost of the university.
00:46:53.760That, that, that has just got to stop.
00:46:56.980I, the, the use of, I mean, we can talk about why this is so effective, but I, I, I think that one thing that the average,
00:47:06.860I, I realize that not everyone has time to sit down and, and study these matters, but people have must, must absolutely understand that the people who are saying things like that tend to be master manipulators.
00:47:25.040And so when they are, uh, deciding what to name things, um, they, uh, they, they name them in such a way that, uh, it, it pushes, uh, the part of our psychology that responds to guilty feelings.
00:47:46.480Uh, which is a very, very effective manipulation technique.
00:47:53.200And when someone says, uh, I cannot believe that the, the, how ubiquitous this is.
00:48:00.360And, um, and white supremacy is a good example of that.
00:48:04.860Now, no reasonable person, uh, would, would, um, uh, not say that white supremacy as it was at a time where one particular race was holding itself above another was not a bad thing.
00:48:24.180And so what, what people who are using terms like this have done is to say, we understand now that the very worst thing that you can call someone is a racist or a white supremacist.
00:48:36.840So we're going to change what that means in order to guilt people into putting, into not putting up too much of a fight.
