00:01:18.340 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. It's great to have you with us.

00:01:23.320 The primary and caucus season officially kicking off. President Trump winning the Iowa caucus last

00:01:28.540 night despite record low temperatures and low turnout. Trump very handily beating Ron DeSantis,

00:01:35.460 Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy. It's safe to say an extra cold night for all those who finished second,

00:01:41.420 third and fourth. And President Trump now heading into the New Hampshire primary with full steam ahead.

00:01:47.340 The latest New Hampshire primary polling, by the way, has the president leading Haley by as much

00:01:52.040 as 20 points. The reality of it all that President Trump could soon be returned to the White House,

00:01:57.980 setting in for the Marxist Dems, NBC News reporting, in fact, that fears are rising in the Pentagon.

00:02:05.560 They're worried about him being president. You remember how General Milley used to walk around

00:02:10.140 just sweating, driven by anxiety about the president of the United States? Well,

00:02:15.220 that's happening again, at least amongst some in the Pentagon, worried that Trump will be elected

00:02:20.060 and use the military in, quote, dictatorial ways when he gets back to the White House.

00:02:25.160 Of course, that's exactly what Joe Biden has been doing for three years, leading by executive

00:02:30.960 actions and executive orders and just simply ignoring Congress, doing whatever he wanted,

00:02:36.980 throwing the borders wide open, not defending our sovereignty or our nation.

00:02:41.480 It's extraordinary what these characters on the left are doing.

00:02:46.160 After Biden throws the border wide open and brings in an estimated 10 million illegals and

00:02:51.220 turns the border over to the cartels, suddenly the folks over in the Pentagon are worried

00:02:55.900 about President Trump. My lord.

00:02:59.140 Throwing conservatives and patriots in prison and not even charging BLM, Antifa or any Marxist leftist.

00:03:05.840 Biden, of course, is the essential puppet dictator. And now the Marxist Dems and Marxist non-profit

00:03:11.900 organizations coming together to try to change the leadership structure of our military.

00:03:17.220 No more civilian control if Donald Trump is elected. That's actually going on right now.

00:03:23.780 How's that for absolute deep state control? What's next? A totalitarian government? Well,

00:03:29.100 that's certainly what'll happen if Joe Biden returns to the White House.

00:03:32.820 The Marxist Dems, who time and time again use government agencies against their political

00:03:37.940 opponents, then the Marxist Dems deploy their disinformation and misinformation propaganda

00:03:43.220 against the American people. It's constant. It's daily, almost hourly. Even some Marxist

00:03:49.160 Dem mayors and governors have finally had enough of the illegal immigrants who Joe Biden is bringing

00:03:54.840 in with the help, of course, of the cartels who control that southern border. They're being sent to

00:04:00.060 cities all across the country. And some of those cities, the sanctuary cities, they're being overrun,

00:04:05.660 they say. Instead of welcoming the illegals, well, in fact, they're now saying they can't handle

00:04:12.560 anymore. And Chicago Governor J.B. Pritzker, in fact, begging Governor Greg Abbott of Texas for mercy.

00:04:20.760 Please, he says, stop sending those illegal immigrants to Chicago. You wonder why he isn't

00:04:26.340 talking to, well, Joe Biden? Here's Pritzker. Not enough has been done. There's no doubt about

00:04:31.880 that. And I think that the president needs to do more. The Congress needs to do more cities out here

00:04:37.060 that are the target of this political game that Governor Abbott is playing are suffering. And here

00:04:44.120 in Illinois, it's minus 29 degrees outside with the windchill. We have migrants that arrive from Texas

00:04:52.460 virtually every day, hundreds. And we don't have places to put them. We don't have enough shelter

00:04:59.820 space here. There are plenty of other cities where, you know, if he's going to send people,

00:05:04.000 they could be sent. But no, he's choosing only Democratic states, Democratic cities.

00:05:08.440 So what happened, Governor? Did you lose the White House phone number? It's Biden you need to talk to.

00:05:13.940 Really, it's Barack Obama, too. They're the ones calling for the illegal immigrants to come in by

00:05:18.660 the millions, and they're getting it done. And I'm sorry about your sanctuary cities getting overrun,

00:05:24.200 but that's what they are after all, right? Sanctuaries. Embattled Marxist-Fulton County DA

00:05:30.220 Fannie Willis in church this weekend. She was there to give a speech. She took the time to let

00:05:35.100 everybody know she's not perfect, but the Republicans are racist for going after her.

00:05:40.300 We are at a time in history, people. Hear me on this. We are at a time in history when you can no

00:05:50.800 longer sit back and just let other folks do it. You cannot expect black women to be perfect and save

00:06:00.620 the world. The Lord is completing us. We are not perfect. We need your prayers. We need to be

00:06:09.540 allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that kind of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus' will.

00:06:18.700 Willis forgets. She's the one who started the fight and made a gross miscalculation when she assumed

00:06:24.140 President Trump and the Republican Party wouldn't fight back against her tyranny, her corruption,

00:06:30.460 and exceedingly bad judgment. The Federal Aviation Administration has hit a new low.

00:06:36.780 In their pursuit of woke diversity and inclusion and equity quotas, the FAA has implemented a diversity

00:06:43.680 and inclusion hiring initiative. Boy, that's a mouthful. That specifically recruits people with

00:06:49.160 disabilities, including people who are deaf, blind, have complete or partial paralysis,

00:06:54.700 people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities. For those of you who are unaware,

00:07:00.800 this may not be the smartest program ever for one government agency if that government agency is

00:07:07.020 the FAA. The FAA is responsible for handling over 16 million flights a year, about 46,000 flights each

00:07:16.540 and every day, with about 3 million Americans in the air flying each day. What could possibly go wrong?

00:07:24.960 Well, our guest today is author Heather McDonald. Her latest book is entitled

00:07:28.860 When Race Trumps Merit, How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence,

00:07:34.900 Destroys Beauty, and Threaten Lives. I hope you're listening, FAA.

00:07:39.700 Heather, great to have you back with us on The Great America Show. Let's take up first the incredible

00:07:44.140 report on the FAA hiring psychiatrically and mentally disabled people for the FAA. As I said,

00:07:51.760 what could possibly go wrong? Well, people have to be, summon the courage to say that standards are not

00:08:00.540 racist, they're not sexist, they're not classist, they're not, you know, anti-disabilist. Colorblind,

00:08:09.140 neutral standards are the way that a civilization saves itself, improves itself, saves people from

00:08:17.460 premature death through poverty and squalor. And yet, we are so terrified to speak about the,

00:08:27.540 in the case of race diversity, to speak about the massive academic skills gaps that prevent the

00:08:37.880 facile attainment of diversity under neutral colorblind standards that we're willing to simply destroy

00:08:47.240 those standards in favor of mediocrity. Americans turn their eyes away because they are so well-meaning,

00:08:55.400 they believe in racial etiquette, and they don't want to take, bring attention to the

00:09:03.320 pathological inner city culture that is resulting in massive academic skills gaps. And instead,

00:09:11.400 they're willing to put their own lives at risk through things like telling the FAA that it's more

00:09:17.180 important that they get diverse flight controllers than ones who have the skills, the academic skills,

00:09:24.360 the IQ, the motor coordination, to handle keeping planes safe in the air rather than crashing into each other.

00:09:35.880 In the name of diversity, for crying out loud, it boggles the mind. It is just impossible to

00:09:45.800 understand how we've gotten to this position in our society, in our culture, in our politics. And I have

00:09:53.400 to say, right now, as we're watching the caucuses unfold in Iowa, and a selection of a president,

00:10:04.280 I hope it's an election of a president, I should say, an election of a president, and we have a group of

00:10:10.920 people, the Democrat Party, is now the Marxist Party in this country. And we have people who just don't

00:10:17.720 want to acknowledge that. They don't want to acknowledge that everything we saw over the

00:10:22.680 course of the past couple of months at MIT, UPenn, at Harvard, Cornell, we're watching a,

00:10:34.040 these are indoctrination factories. In matter of fact, I mean, they're a left-wing scam. They're a

00:10:40.360 program to subsidize left-wing Marxist professors and give them an assured income and sinecure

00:10:51.800 that will keep them sustained. It has nothing to do really with education. It's about student loans.

00:10:57.720 It's about these ridiculous demands of D-I-C-R-T, you name it. I really think that

00:11:06.040 higher education right now is a scam for the left. It absolutely is. It's a combination of

00:11:13.960 deliberate mediocrity and deliberate propaganda. You know, there's another aspect of universities

00:11:22.200 that the right doesn't really talk enough about, which is that they have grown so bloated. They are

00:11:28.040 they are simply machines to try and get as many warm bodies on, you know, first-year seats, who then

00:11:36.200 are going to mostly drop out because, because these students who've been recruited through this

00:11:42.040 incredibly obsessive effort on the part of university bureaucrats, they've got, they're like these

00:11:49.160 capitalist machines. They've got yield specialists and retention specialists, all trying to just be

00:11:57.160 like hucksters selling snake oil to get these students in. They don't care whether they're capable

00:12:03.480 or not. All they want is that first-year deposit so they can have a bigger budget in order to hire more

00:12:12.600 bureaucrats. And the degree of bureaucracy that is all dedicated to the fact that students are not

00:12:20.920 prepared. We have far too many people going to college, far too many. But the the liberal assumption

00:12:27.480 and sometimes also, I'm sad to say, the conservative assumption is that unless you have a college degree,

00:12:34.600 your life is basically over. You will live a life of, of, you know, thwarted ambition, thwarted capacity.

00:12:43.080 You will never be able to develop yourself to your full potential. That's completely wrong. There are so many

00:12:50.520 professions, occupations, skills that have nothing to do with what has become, in most cases, totally bogus

00:12:59.720 degrees. I mean, a degree in marketing. You should not go to college for a degree in marketing. You

00:13:06.280 should go to college if you want to study the classics. If you want to read Aeschylus and Euripides and

00:13:13.560 Sophocles and the great works of philosophy, of Western literature, of art, if you want to study

00:13:21.800 very demanding science. You should not be doing, you know, some pseudo communications degree. But this

00:13:30.840 is simply so that these colleges can continue expanding their student body. And the right has

00:13:37.640 to start speaking very clearly, Lou, about the dignity and beauty of, of crafts. And part of the reason why

00:13:45.800 we don't talk about hands-on skills is because males are more inclined to, to figure things out,

00:13:55.080 to want to work with machines, to tinker, to develop. And we are living in an anti-male culture

00:14:01.640 right now. Females are much more obedient, docile. You know, they're taking over the universities,

00:14:08.040 both in student body and faculty and in administration. And so we want to perpetuate something that,

00:14:14.440 that females up to a certain point do better than males. Now at the absolute top end of math skills,

00:14:20.920 of STEM skills, males still trounce females. But at the average level, females are better at sitting

00:14:29.960 in seats and, you know, writing their, their, their mostly empty verbiage papers. But, but colleges are,

00:14:39.000 are absolutely a betrayal of what they should be at this point. And, and again, I'm not even getting

00:14:45.560 to the ideology that made the pro-Hamas mass collective outbreak of psychosis of supporting

00:14:54.440 terrorists an absolute inevitability, Lou. Yeah, I think you're exactly right. I really do.

00:15:01.240 Because you, you, I mean, there are a host of issues contributing factors to all of this,

00:15:06.600 but the reality is that you've got so many of these young people on college and university campuses

00:15:12.040 who really don't have a, a, a, a study path, uh, a concentration, a major, uh, there, and there,

00:15:20.760 what's, what better to do than to tear down all of the institutions of society and, uh, cheer on, uh,

00:15:28.920 the Iranian back terrorists, uh, whether they're Hamas or Hezbollah, the Houthis, you name it. Uh,

00:15:35.400 we're going to take all of that up with Heather McDonald. Stay with us. We're coming right back.

00:15:42.040 We're back now with Heather McDonald and Heather. I, I want to turn to the, the electoral moment,

00:15:53.720 uh, we're, we're, we hear lots of people and I'm, I'm shocked by some of the people who use the word

00:15:59.380 progressive because they're, uh, in opposition, both politically and ideologically to Democrats,

00:16:05.080 but they refuse to use the word Marxist when describing a Barack Obama or the Biden administration

00:16:12.860 or regimes policies or, uh, you know, they're anti-America. They're pro, they're absolutely

00:16:19.600 embedded in, uh, Marxism and, and they refuse to call the Democrats Marxist when I think that's

00:16:27.480 precisely what they are without exception. Well, I actually would preserve Marxism for something that

00:16:33.780 is much more focused on destroying, uh, free markets and capitalism. Now you can say that,

00:16:40.680 well, the over-regulation, uh, that Biden is doing, the insanity of the green energy, uh, mission,

00:16:49.020 the insanity of believing that you can make everybody drive electrical vehicles without

00:16:53.640 impovering, impoverishing us, all of us by bringing down the electrical grids, uh, that that is

00:17:00.360 anti-capitalist, but it is not, I, I don't think that is in service of a absolutely unreachable

00:17:11.300 environmental goal. I don't think it's driven by the same hatred and belief in class revolution

00:17:17.560 that drives Marxism. I, I think it's something, uh, worse and less interesting because Marxism at

00:17:26.620 least had some interesting things to say about what was going on in the 19th century with the

00:17:31.960 development of this new form of capitalism and, and workers, proletarian workers in factories that

00:17:39.820 is very different than, than how human beings had organized their economies in previous centuries.

00:17:46.580 And so we can, we can disagree with Marx's, uh, conclusions, but, but some of his observations,

00:17:53.320 I think were, were not, uh, fanciful. What's going on more, I think is even worse, which is a hatred

00:18:01.420 for all of Western civilization. It's a civilization deemed too white and too male. Uh, and for that reason,

00:18:08.860 it has to come down. Uh, so this is, this is beyond something much more than, than economics. It's

00:18:16.080 about the very possibility of people striving for excellence without being told that by virtue of

00:18:25.280 being white, male, and heterosexual, they are going to be at the absolute bottom of the heap when it comes

00:18:32.680 to getting jobs, when it comes to college admissions, admissions to law school, medical school,

00:18:37.880 advancement in medical school, becoming a doctor. Uh, if you have a son or a grandson who is white and

00:18:46.600 heterosexual, he's going to have a very difficult time competing on his merits for the rest of his

00:18:53.400 life. He's going to be handicapped by hatred. Handicapped by hatred. And I, and I will, I want to

00:19:01.960 just take a moment to explain why I think that that Marxist, uh, uh, template works, uh, in this

00:19:09.700 instance. And that is because we saw in the sixties and the seventies, a shift in this country

00:19:15.600 away from the, the Marxists who were following the usual prescription. That is talking about class

00:19:21.940 warfare, talking about the proletariat, uh, and the revolution that they expected. They,

00:19:27.680 they were disappointed in every, uh, at every turn nearly in the United States, the unique American

00:19:34.840 experience. So what they did was they, in my judgment, they shifted to education. They shifted

00:19:40.880 to professionals, uh, professions, uh, they shifted to, uh, politics and they, and they flew under false

00:19:48.720 flags for the longest time. Uh, they, the great society, uh, under Johnson, for example, moved

00:19:56.400 government, uh, just lavishly across the, the, the, the, the entire scope of governance. And what we

00:20:06.220 have now is a government that is, uh, inculcated into, uh, government and, uh, in my judgment, a state

00:20:14.480 ownership, uh, of property and control. Uh, it's inculcated throughout our government. The Marxists

00:20:20.800 are in charge of the Democrat party. They are in charge of the permanent bureaucracy. They are in

00:20:25.440 charge of every agency and every department of the federal government. Uh, and by the way, they are now

00:20:32.000 coexisting with corporate, the corporatist, the corporate globalist. Uh, and, uh, it's to me,

00:20:38.800 straightforwardly, we are moving so far from capitalism, uh, that it's getting very, very

00:20:44.240 tricky when we talk about markets, because these markets are regulated to a point, uh, that's

00:20:50.800 remarkable. And by the way, being international markets now, not simply domestic markets, uh,

00:20:57.280 they, we are connected as we've never been, uh, to, uh, the other civilizations, if you will. And the

00:21:04.480 other, uh, countries around the world, uh, we're, we're, we're an international nation now, I think,

00:21:10.800 without doubt. Well, that's definitely true. I mean, we certainly believe that we have no right to

00:21:17.280 insist on our own, uh, inherent culture, that we must be, have our immigration policy determined by

00:21:24.480 people living outside the country based on their whim to get here, not based on what people within the

00:21:29.360 country believe in. Uh, there's no question. I was talking to a guy in Middle Eastern studies in

00:21:36.640 University of Pennsylvania, and he explicitly said, we in universities are supposed to be,

00:21:42.720 uh, go beyond nationalists. We're supposed to be post-nationalists. He actually said that.

00:21:47.760 And therefore he thought that why did the Jews get away with believing in Zionism? He thought this

00:21:53.680 was unfair on a college campus and that, that, uh, people that believe in Israel were violating

00:22:00.240 what should be now the dominant academic ideology. But I'm just going to push back again, Lou,

00:22:05.200 at that for the sake of an interesting discussion, uh, you know, I, I don't think there, there's a theory

00:22:11.520 out there among conservatives that this was all a deliberate, uh, plan, the long march through the

00:22:17.680 institutions to quote Marcuse. I just don't believe it. I think it was incremental. I don't think

00:22:23.360 there was anybody like some sort of communist five-year plan that set out to take things over.

00:22:31.920 I think there was pressure to expand government welfare. There was a race ideology that we had to,

00:22:39.840 uh, atone for our centuries of, of racial abuse and, and, and hatred and cruelty. So we're going to

00:22:48.800 expand the welfare state, but we are not as much as we are in many instances destroying a lot of

00:22:57.760 freedom of entrepreneurs to, to make decisions and, and you respond to market signals. We are not close

00:23:05.600 to destroying free markets. Nobody, the, the Hollywood moguls and the tech moguls that are the,

00:23:13.360 the big supporters of the democratic party really do not fear that they're going to have to, uh, give

00:23:20.720 up their, their industrial enterprises for, for a national takeover. You know, we're not going to

00:23:27.440 nationalize Google or, or Amazon. Uh, you know, some of these people, Jeff Bezos, he is a capitalist

00:23:35.440 par excellence. So I, again, I, I don't think it was a plan. And the only thing, you know, the, the

00:23:43.680 other thing that conservatives who, who say, oh, cultural Marxism, they say, well, Marxism has

00:23:48.560 hierarchies. It says there's good people and bad people categorically. Cultural Marxism does the same

00:23:54.080 thing. You're, you're bad. If you're white, you're good. If you're an underrepresented minority,

00:23:57.920 therefore the same, I, I think that obscures more than it, it clarifies because again, this is driven

00:24:06.160 by, uh, a, an identity ideology, not a hatred for the free market. I, I would, I would, I would love

00:24:17.360 if I thought that all of these idiot young people were really at risk of losing their access to their

00:24:25.440 Starbucks and their, and their smartphones, but you know, the, the free market is going to continue

00:24:31.680 pumping out these goodies, even as these idiots don't deserve them for an instant.

00:24:38.160 Well, you and I agree about what they deserve. We are talking with Heather McDonald. And as you can

00:24:45.440 tell, uh, we're having a lot of fun. I hope you are, because we're going to talk some more Marxism.

00:24:50.560 We're going to talk some communism and we're going to see if there's any relationship between

00:24:55.600 the oppressed and the oppressor, the, uh, the, the class structure of classical Marxism, uh, and, uh,

00:25:04.240 and ultimately the extension to communism, but we're going to do it. And I assure you hurried terms

00:25:09.440 and move on to other things as well, including why in the world did MIT's president get away with

00:25:16.320 everything that the other presidents who've lost their jobs in the Ivy Lee, uh, they didn't get away

00:25:23.120 with it. We'll be right back. We're talking with Heather McDonald and I just got to turn quickly to,

00:25:34.400 to Harvard and MIT and UPenn and Cornell. And why in the world, uh, why in the world are we

00:25:42.160 watching institutions, particularly with Harvard, uh, the Harvard corporation, uh, which is its

00:25:48.560 management group, uh, uh, sitting there influenced mightily, I think by Barack Obama, both in bringing

00:25:57.040 plotting gay to the presidency and also keeping her there despite cases of plagiarism and outright

00:26:04.240 bigotry in terms of her performance before Congress. How in the world could there be any doubt

00:26:10.240 in the minds of a governing body or one of these distinguished Ivy league schools, uh, with what

00:26:17.600 to do with plagiarism, with what to do with bigotry, uh, to, to your, your thoughts?

00:26:24.880 Because we're all living through a race hustle. Lou, the, the elites are not willing to be honest

00:26:34.400 about meritocracy and the incompatibility between meritocracy and diversity. Any institution that

00:26:42.000 tells you that it is, uh, dedicated to diversity is telling you so do voce that it is discarded

00:26:50.480 meritocratic standards of excellence and achievement that keep people safe, that keep people

00:26:56.160 able to account on future scientific invest, you know, research and, and discoveries,

00:27:02.320 uh, because you cannot have meritocracy and diversity at the same time, given the vast academic

00:27:09.600 skills gap. And let me just throw out one number so your listeners can have some sense of what I'm

00:27:14.640 talking about here, Lou. Uh, 66% of black 12th graders do not possess even partial mastery of basic

00:27:23.520 12th grade math skills, such as doing arithmetic or reading a graph. 66% are not capable of doing those

00:27:30.880 things. Uh, the, the number of black 12th graders who are advanced in math is too small to show up

00:27:37.360 statistically on a national sample. According to, uh, the ACT, only 2% of black 12th graders are

00:27:46.160 college ready. And yet we know that we have at Harvard, you know, it's about 14% black. All of the

00:27:54.560 diversity that we see in our institutions today is achieved because of this skills gap through vast

00:28:01.680 racial preferences that admit blacks and to a slightly lesser extent Hispanics with academic

00:28:08.320 skills as measured in task test scores that would be automatically disqualifying if presented by whites

00:28:14.000 and Asians. So we have two tiers of students. We have two tiers of faculty and the elites like the Harvard

00:28:21.360 corporation, uh, are not willing to tell the truth about the academic skills gap. And so they're

00:28:28.800 going to continue using race, not skills as the main mechanism of advancement. And so they were

00:28:38.160 absolutely dedicated to preserving Claudine Gay. The reason she was there was because of her race.

00:28:43.520 And it's a very bizarre discourse that these universities are forced to engage in because on the one hand,

00:28:49.920 they'll trumpet the fact that she's the first black female president at Harvard. And, and the,

00:28:55.760 the first, uh, notice that the Harvard corporation put out about her was all she's done so great to,

00:29:02.800 to make us focus even further in our curriculum at the vast racial inequities at Harvard and elsewhere,

00:29:08.960 which is complete BS. There are no racial inequities at Harvard and elsewhere, unless you're talking about

00:29:16.960 reverse discrimination against whites and Asians. But the degree of commitment to this racial ideology

00:29:24.880 is so great that it is completely blinding. It's silencing, it's deafening, uh, and, and it's going to

00:29:31.520 take a heck of a lot of effort for ordinary Americans to take their civilization back. And what it's going to

00:29:39.040 take is telling the truth about the academic skills gap, uh, so that there's an understanding

00:29:47.120 that when we are promoting diversity, we are promoting, uh, lower skills and mediocrity.

00:29:55.600 Yeah. I think people have to come to terms with that. There's no question about it.

00:29:59.280 Fannie Willis, the district attorney down in Fulton County, Georgia, uh, apparently got 14.6 million

00:30:05.520 dollars from the justice department in 2020. What did she spend that money on? It's very curious

00:30:11.200 because she is, uh, prosecuting, as you know, the president of the United States, 16 others,

00:30:15.360 uh, for the, uh, for irregularities. I'll put it that way in the 2020 election.

00:30:21.120 She also spent some of that money apparently on the lavish book, uh, vacations with her lover,

00:30:26.880 the special counsel that she put in place, who has never before tried a federal case,

00:30:31.200 the paid him $640,000. She goes to her church and at her church, she says this,

00:30:38.080 you cannot expect black women to be perfect. And there it is. She put, I played the race card

00:30:46.240 straightforwardly. She said that the entire investigation by the house judiciary committee

00:30:50.800 of her, that, uh, $14 million is all racist. And guess what? Yep.

00:30:56.080 That's this, that's where we are. That's, it's now a racist, uh, motivated, uh, calculation rather

00:31:04.480 than, uh, political. Yeah. You get the final thought here. Well, yes. I mean, it, the only people

00:31:12.000 who can be, uh, fired for cause that we think, well, maybe you didn't get that promotion is because

00:31:17.760 you didn't deserve it is a white person. But with blacks, you're first under mandate to hire people

00:31:24.480 based on race. And then if somebody doesn't get a promotion, if there's finally some reckoning with

00:31:30.400 a colorblind meritocratic standard, the only allowable explanation for that is racism. It's

00:31:36.240 an automatic excuse. Now, you know, uh, there's obviously plenty of white people who are corrupt

00:31:43.200 and who are, are stealing from the government coffers and, and who are put into positions that

00:31:49.920 they don't deserve. Uh, but the, and, and there's black people that that's true too. I mean, this is

00:31:55.760 the nature of, of human institutions. But at this point, uh, if you're black, you have an automatic

00:32:01.840 excuse. You will always play the race card. And we saw Claudia engage you that as well. And, you know,

00:32:06.560 Lou, I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks when the Harvard students come back on campus

00:32:11.840 after their Christmas break, because they're there. Harvard will have a student revolt on its hands

00:32:18.160 because they all believe the thing that Claudine Gay wrote, just, just amazing model and self-pity

00:32:24.240 in the New York times after she resigned, which is that the reason she was canceled was because she

00:32:28.800 was black. This is complete BS. The reason she was there because it was because she was black. The

00:32:34.000 reason she was held on for so long was because she was black. She was fired instead in spite of being

00:32:40.400 black, but the student body at Harvard is going to be an open revolt. And it's going to be very

00:32:46.080 interesting to see how it plays out. Yeah. It's going to also give us a shirt,

00:32:50.320 you know, a real test. It's going to be, uh, uh, well, a meritocracy moment, because if they do,

00:32:56.160 as you suggest they will do, uh, then their IQs are not as high as they once were, uh, for Harvard

00:33:02.480 students. And their, uh, a reason for being there is something beyond, uh, what we, uh, would normally

00:33:08.640 assume of a Harvard student. Uh, it's, uh, it's going to be fascinating. You're exactly right.

00:33:13.600 And it's always fascinating to talk with you, Heather. We thank you so much. Come back here
