Big news. The Supreme Court has struck down affirmative action.
00:00:08.480
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the 6-3 opinion.
00:00:12.120
He ruled that colleges and universities are no longer allowed to consider race as a factor for admission.
00:00:21.780
The Constitution deals with substance, not shadows,
00:00:24.960
and the prohibition against racial discrimination is leveled at the thing, not the name.
00:00:31.240
A benefit to a student who overcame racial discrimination, for example,
00:00:35.760
must be tied to that student's courage and determination.
00:00:39.340
Or a benefit to a student whose heritage or culture motivated him or her to assume a leadership role
00:00:46.260
or attain a particular goal must be tied to that student's unique ability to contribute to the university.
00:00:53.460
In other words, the student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual,
00:01:04.580
The ruling affects 42 states, not including California, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Arizona, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Idaho.
00:01:14.060
All these states already prohibit affirmative action.
00:01:18.160
This is a win for America, a win for all Americans.
00:01:22.000
And Rhino Paul Ryan, you may have noticed, keeps showing up almost everywhere on television or wherever there's a monitor,
00:01:30.360
yelling that it's a disaster if we nominate Trump.
00:01:39.080
You know I think that I've been saying this for a long time.
00:01:46.800
We haven't won anything with him since he first won in 16.
00:01:49.120
We lost the House in 18, the presidency in 20, the Senate in 20, and we could have won the Senate in 2022 but for him.
00:01:56.920
Is Rupert going to tell you who to endorse him?
00:02:12.840
And for any Republican not named Trump, because I think we beat Biden for sure if we nominate a Republican not named Trump.
00:02:18.340
Any idea who you think could get the—I mean, everybody's down by 40 points.
00:02:26.380
The Republicans controlled the Senate from Trump's election in 2016 and lost control in the 2020 elections,
00:02:33.880
when rhino Mitch McConnell seemed to spend as much money against America First candidates as he did for.
00:02:41.600
Paul Ryan spent his time as Speaker of the House looking and auditioning for his next job.
00:02:49.240
Board member at Fox News, vice chairman at CEO of advisory firm Toneo,
00:02:54.540
and now partner at a private equity group called Solomare Capital.
00:02:59.080
That private equity firm just happens to have been founded by a man with the name Taggart Romney.
00:03:11.280
I believe that's called cronyism, whether crony capitalism or crony rhinoism.
