=== Support Us And Thank Our Listeners (01:38) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey, everybody.
[00:00:00]  Is diversity making America more dangerous?
[00:00:03]  Well, not diversity itself, but the cult of diversity, the obsession with diversity.
[00:00:07]  Is diversity our strength?
[00:00:09]  Very interesting take we have here on this show.
[00:00:12]  Some would say it's provocative.
[00:00:14]  Text it to your friends for sure.
[00:00:15]  Chuck Schumer comes out with the new goal of the Democrats as it becomes more and more clear that 2022 is not going to be a good year for them.
[00:00:22]  That and so much more.

=== Jefferson Warns Against Monopolies (15:57) ===

[00:01:38]  Buckle up, everybody.
[00:01:39]  Here we go.
[00:01:40]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:01:42]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
[00:01:44]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:47]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:51]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:52]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:53]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:02:00]  Turning point USA.
[00:02:01]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:02:10]  That's why we are here.
[00:02:13]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
[00:02:21]  Okay, so I want to get into some Washington, D.C. drama and news.
[00:02:27]  Now, it looks like Republicans are going to take back the House this November.
[00:02:31]  We're going to be covering that all year.
[00:02:33]  The generic has tightened slightly as we thought it would.
[00:02:37]  However, the Democrats are still trying to have one final play, one final legislative kind of, let's say, not just strategy, one final legislative quote-unquote victory for them on their way out.
[00:02:55]  More than the Build Back Better plan, which we have said the entire time the last couple months has been a facade.
[00:03:02]  They knew they were not going to get that passed.
[00:03:05]  They've always been solely focused on changing the constitutional structure of how our elections are actually conducted.
[00:03:14]  James Madison famously said that the structure of the Constitution was one of its most brilliant aspects: the check and balance structure.
[00:03:25]  How the three articles, the first three articles of the U.S. Constitution, all interrelate with one of the other, seven total articles of the Constitution.
[00:03:33]  Now, you must realize you must read the Constitution in two separate buckets.
[00:03:39]  You must read the Constitution of 1787 and then the amendments of 1791.
[00:03:45]  You see, the Constitution was first written with no amendments.
[00:03:50]  The amendments were largely inspired from the Virginia Declaration of Rights that was actually written by George Mason in 1776.
[00:03:58]  When the Virginia Declaration of Rights was written in 1776 by George Mason, it largely inspired the momentum that eventually continued to become the what is now known as the entirety of the U.S. Constitution.
[00:04:17]  But the arguments between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists that played out in what is now known as the Federalist or the Federalist Papers in the months that followed the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787 was this debate over the actual structure absent the amendments of the Constitution.
[00:04:40]  Now, you must understand that after the Constitutional Convention, then the work actually started.
[00:04:46]  After the Constitutional Convention, then the arguments between the states were like, hey, should we actually ratify, should we agree to this compact, to this contract, to this agreement?
[00:04:57]  Now, we've been through many times that the states created the federal government.
[00:05:01]  The federal government did not create the states.
[00:05:03]  This is profoundly important.
[00:05:06]  And so, but if you ask any person on the street, they say, oh, you know, what's in the Constitution?
[00:05:11]  They'll start, oh, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment.
[00:05:15]  Where it really is important that the first, the seven articles of the U.S. Constitution, that was the original framework.
[00:05:25]  Now, if you go through Article 1, Article 2, and Article 3, Article 3 is the Supreme Court, Article 2 is the Executive Branch, Article 1 is the legislative branch.
[00:05:37]  It's a rather short yet wise and important observation of human nature.
[00:05:45]  But the part in the Constitution that I think people don't focus on enough, and if you go back into the private writings of Thomas Jefferson, who, by the way, did not write the U.S. Constitution, he wrote the Declaration of Independence.
[00:05:58]  Thomas Jefferson opposed the Constitution throughout its process and eventually became a reluctant believer.
[00:06:04]  There are these beautiful letters back and forth between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
[00:06:09]  And one of my favorite things is when you kind of get a, let's say, an energetic fella that we'd call it, of someone who says, Charlie, we need a revolution.
[00:06:17]  Did you know that Thomas Jefferson said that the tree of liberty must be stained with the blood of tyrants every 20 years?
[00:06:23]  And I say, okay, smart Alec.
[00:06:27]  Who did he said that?
[00:06:28]  Who did he say that to?
[00:06:29]  I don't know.
[00:06:30]  He just said it.
[00:06:30]  I read it on Wikipedia.
[00:06:32]  Okay.
[00:06:33]  You do know that was in a letter while he was in France to James Madison.
[00:06:37]  And do you know that James Madison wrote back and said, yeah, I don't think that's a good idea because we're going to need some sort of continuity for future generations.
[00:06:45]  And you know what Thomas Jefferson effectively responded with?
[00:06:47]  Yeah, you're probably right.
[00:06:50]  Just be careful sometimes when you read these quotes that people put out there.
[00:06:55]  Jefferson, he had a reputation of being a little bit of a hothead with this stuff, getting a little too excited.
[00:06:59]  Now, Jefferson was a tremendous president, by the way.
[00:07:03]  We should be having statues of Thomas Jefferson all across the country.
[00:07:06]  Phenomenal.
[00:07:07]  But Thomas Jefferson had this great quote after he reluctantly came along.
[00:07:13]  And Jefferson was a huge supporter, by the way, of adding the Bill of Rights that eventually came in 1791.
[00:07:20]  Now, in 1789, kind of this purgatory period between the Constitution and its original form and the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791 came this, which was Thomas Jefferson who said, the Bill of Rights is there to secure freedom in religion, freedom of the press.
[00:07:40]  And here's a really interesting part that I don't think we as conservatives and people that actually care about American history talk about.
[00:07:46]  Freedom from monopolies.
[00:07:51]  So, Thomas Jefferson is arguing in defense of the U.S. Constitution that his buddy James Madison largely wrote in John Jay and Alexander Hamilton.
[00:08:00]  Those were kind of the triumphant, if you will, that defended it.
[00:08:03]  Thomas Harris said, all right, I can agree.
[00:08:05]  But we need freedom in religion, not from, very important, freedom in religion, freedom of the press, and then freedom from monopolies.
[00:08:19]  Now, when we think about that, we think about Google or Amazon.
[00:08:22]  Yes, we should break up those companies totally.
[00:08:24]  But what is a different type of monopoly that is trying to be created?
[00:08:30]  Here's just a good lesson for you right now as in the current American political landscape.
[00:08:36]  Almost every piece of behavior that the left or the Democrats are engaging in can point up to this truth, that the left is currently in the business of creating and protecting monopolies they control.
[00:08:52]  The left is in the monopoly business.
[00:08:55]  Now, we say, you know, all the left cares about is power, correct.
[00:08:58]  A better way to say it is all the left cares about is monopolies.
[00:09:03]  Chuck Schumer, as the great Rush Lumbaugh would call him, Chuck Hugh Schumer, said yesterday that if Republicans continue to hijack the rules of the chamber to prevent action on something as critical as protecting our democracy, then the Senate will debate changes to the rules.
[00:09:18]  Now, I'm going to tell you what this means.
[00:09:19]  He's talking in Orwellian doublespeak, but CUP 26, I'll translate it for you.
[00:09:27]  Voting rights in the past was a bipartisan issue.
[00:09:31]  How quickly they forget.
[00:09:34]  Republican presidents, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush supported voting rights.
[00:09:41]  When voting rights extensions came up in this body in the past, they passed by large majorities, bipartisan.
[00:09:50]  The resistance we see from modern-day Republicans is a beast of an entirely different nature.
[00:09:58]  Maybe some of them are scared of Trump, but too many of them see this as a way to win advantage to get their hard-right views enacted, even though the public doesn't support them by jaundicing our election process and saying and putting barriers in the way of particular people, not all people, of voting.
[00:10:20]  People of color, poor people, people who live in big cities, young people, handicapped people, elderly people.
[00:10:33]  As I said in my dear colleague earlier this week, if Republicans continue to hijack the rules of the chamber to prevent action on something as critical as protecting our democracy, then the Senate will debate and consider changes to the rules on or before January 17th, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
[00:10:55]  Now there's a lot there.
[00:10:56]  I appreciate the longer clip.
[00:10:58]  It's very good for context.
[00:11:00]  I'm going to dive into that and translate it to you.
[00:11:02]  I think he just made up a word, by the way.
[00:11:04]  Is that a word?
[00:11:05]  Maybe my vocabulary is not as plentiful as Chuck Yu Schumer.
[00:11:12]  I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.
[00:11:15]  And truth is, I know millions of people are in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.
[00:11:19]  Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.
[00:11:20]  He was a hobbled individual.
[00:11:23]  He was bedridden in his chair complaining all the time.
[00:11:27]  And then all of a sudden we got this call from Relief Factor.
[00:11:29]  They said, hey, we want to partner with your show.
[00:11:31]  We're going to send you some Relief Factor.
[00:11:32]  Producer Andrew got it.
[00:11:34]  He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better.
[00:11:37]  Next thing you know, he's doing the Fallsberry flop like you wouldn't believe.
[00:11:41]  In fact, he might be training for an Ironman.
[00:11:44]  It's pretty incredible.
[00:11:45]  Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor.
[00:11:47]  I ask him all the time, Relief Factor?
[00:11:49]  He says relieffactor.com, 100% drug-free supplement.
[00:11:51]  You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.
[00:11:54]  So go to relieffactor.com, and I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start to see if we can get you out of pain.
[00:12:00]  And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain.
[00:12:02]  So go to relieffactor.com.
[00:12:04]  That is relieffactor.com.
[00:12:06]  I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain.
[00:12:07]  It's 100% drug-free.
[00:12:09]  Don't go to opioids.
[00:12:10]  Don't go to these other things.
[00:12:11]  Check it out at relieffactor.com.
[00:12:16]  What we're trying to do is kind of outline the framing of what Chuck Schumer mentioned here.
[00:12:22]  He says, look, if Republicans continue to hijack the rules of the chamber, so what he's trying to say is that if you guys keep on trying to block our quote-unquote voting rights legislation, if you guys try to tell us that we are not allowed to have mass mail and voting or the Justice Department be the final say of election reforms, then by Martin Luther King Day, because they're always trying to use race for every one of their reforms, we might just blow up the entire process as we know it, and we might have to change the rules.
[00:12:52]  Now, the left is in the business of trying to create and protect monopolies they control.
[00:13:01]  But it's very clear in the United States Constitution, and this one's brought to you by Turning Point USA, that the Constitution lays out in great detail the need, the moral necessity for the decentralization of elections.
[00:13:17]  Remember, states were sovereign before the federal government was sovereign.
[00:13:20]  And allowing the framework or the compact of the states to operate with their own sovereignty is essential for liberty.
[00:13:30]  But Schumer realizes that they're not going to get their $3.8 trillion spending bill passed.
[00:13:36]  He realizes that he's not going to be able to pass and usher in this massive deficit spending package.
[00:13:43]  The next best thing they could do is sneak in a somewhat on-the-surface vanilla voting rights package when in reality, all voting reforms would then have to go through Merrick Garland's desk.
[00:13:55]  Essentially, the Democrats want to create a monopoly.
[00:13:59]  They want to create a wall, if you will, against any states changing their elections.
[00:14:06]  Arizona wants to audit their voting rolls.
[00:14:08]  You have to get Merrick Garland's approval.
[00:14:10]  Georgia wants to require voter ID.
[00:14:12]  You have to go and get Merrick Garland's approval.
[00:14:15]  Now, of course, Chuck Schumer once said that eliminating the filibuster would be doomsday for democracy.
[00:14:21]  Play cut 24.
[00:14:25]  The ideologues in the Senate want to turn what the founding fathers called the cooling saucer of democracy into the rubber stamp of dictatorship.
[00:14:37]  They want to make this country into a banana republic where if you don't get your way, you change the rules.
[00:14:44]  Are we going to let them?
[00:14:48]  It'll be a doomsday for democracy if we do.
[00:14:52]  A doomsday for democracy.
[00:14:56]  Now, again, they're in the monopoly business.
[00:14:59]  They want to create structures that they control that are untouchable.
[00:15:06]  Think how untouchable Google is.
[00:15:07]  Google does whatever they want.
[00:15:09]  They can control public opinion.
[00:15:10]  They can kick off scientists that invented vaccines.
[00:15:13]  They do whatever they want.
[00:15:14]  And Google is wholly controlled by the American left.
[00:15:18]  Look at the IRS.
[00:15:18]  Look at the CDC.
[00:15:20]  And one of the last gasps of independent state-based liberty, where citizens still have a say, is our elections.
[00:15:30]  Elections are still largely administered by states and local districts, by counties.
[00:15:38]  And by allowing the Decentralized structure.
[00:15:43]  It makes it harder for Democrats to assume permanent control.
[00:15:52]  I think the Democrats aren't messing around.
[00:15:54]  Now, thankfully, Manchin and Cinema, I do not think will agree on changing the Senate rules just to be able to pass this John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
[00:16:04]  Now, you notice the way that they frame it.
[00:16:06]  They say, well, this is all about voting rights.
[00:16:08]  Well, tell me, Chuck Schumer, in what state is it difficult for anybody to vote?
[00:16:12]  We have voting months in most states.
[00:16:16]  But the monopoly that they're trying to create, again, Thomas Jefferson said the Bill of Rights, it was there to secure your freedom in religion, freedom of the press, and freedom from monopolies.
[00:16:27]  The argument that Thomas Jefferson, an anti-federalist, by the way, a small government guy was saying, was that we must be wary of the centralization and the non-check and balance kind of consolidation of power anywhere it manifests itself.
[00:16:44]  And again, the way we think of monopolies, like, oh, that person's too rich, that company's too big, and that stuff we could talk about.
[00:16:49]  I think those companies need to be largely broken up.
[00:16:51]  But the monopoly that's right in front of us that they're trying to create is they're trying to create the monopoly of elections.
[00:16:58]  They're trying to create the Federal Department Bureau of Fair Elections where Republicans would be in a permanent minority for the rest of our life, as long as the Republic would stand.
[00:17:10]  That's their play.
[00:17:12]  They think, okay, build back better.
[00:17:14]  We don't have to worry about getting the votes if we can actually make all the elections go through the Department of Justice.
[00:17:20]  They want to create that new monopoly.
[00:17:22]  And this is going to be the most consequential, important, and high-stakes legislative fight this year.
[00:17:30]  And if we lose, we may never win another election again.

=== The Pandemic Of Gun Violence (06:18) ===

[00:17:36]  Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?

[00:19:07]  10 of the country's most populous cities set homicide records last year.
[00:19:13]  This should have been probably the number one news story in the country, right?
[00:19:15]  That we had one of the bloodiest years on record ever.
[00:19:20]  CNN, more than two-thirds of the country's 40 populous cities saw more homicides last year than in 2020.
[00:19:27]  10 of those cities had the deadliest homicide record record homicides on record.
[00:19:33]  Those are Philadelphia, Austin, Texas, Philadelphia, Austin, Texas, Columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, Portland, Oregon, Memphis, Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, Milwaukee, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Tucson, Arizona.
[00:19:50]  Minneapolis tied its previous record of homicides with 97 in the years of 1997 to 2001, 2021.
[00:19:57]  Many cities have seen homicides reach near-record highs in the past year.
[00:20:03]  Chicago police investigated 797 last year, the most since 1996.
[00:20:08]  But more than 800 homicides happened within the city, when including expressway shootings, which are investigated by a different agency.
[00:20:14]  Oh, yeah, if we, you know, count drive-by shootings on 294, or if we count the drive-by shootings on Kennedy, then we're at the record.
[00:20:26]  Now, this is the most interesting and most important part.
[00:20:29]  This is by CNN.
[00:20:33]  Homicides spiked in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and subsequent unrest in cities across the country.
[00:20:44]  For many cities, the elevated rates of homicide continued into 2021.
[00:20:50]  So this is what I want to focus on.
[00:20:51]  I want to reread this paragraph.
[00:20:54]  This is CNN rebroadcasted by CBS 58.
[00:20:58]  Now, if we had an honest media, if we had people that were really interested and that were trying to find out what was happening in the world around us, we would take a pause and say, hold on.
[00:21:10]  Why is it that we had the deadliest years on record?
[00:21:13]  Homicides spiked in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and subsequent unrest in cities across the country.
[00:21:24]  For many cities, the elevated rates of homicide continued into 2021.
[00:21:32]  Okay, so basically CNN is admitting that as soon as we started to focus on BL, as soon as BLM took over the country, as soon as BLM became the most powerful political party, cities became the most dangerous they ever have.
[00:21:50]  As soon as JPMorgan Chase or Citibank, in fact, let me show you.
[00:21:57]  So I went to, I did this over Christmas break.
[00:22:01]  I was just kind of going through different companies.
[00:22:04]  Like, hey, what is their participation in this?
[00:22:06]  So Citibank, Citigroup, Global Diversity and Inclusion, Diversity at Citi.
[00:22:12]  Research and experience both confirm that when a company embraces diversity, the most talented people are not just attracted to joining the company, but are more productive and motivated to stay.
[00:22:21]  At Citi, our employees reflect the remarkable range of cultures and perspective and blah, the whole thing.
[00:22:29]  Our approach, our people, awards and recognition, partnerships and community.
[00:22:33]  You go into it, it's stunning how they are spending hundreds of millions of dollars over years to fund these BLM arsonist groups, partnerships and community.
[00:22:44]  You go through that.
[00:22:45]  They have a diversity annual report that the Citibank is funding.
[00:22:54]  They are a national corporate partner of the human rights campaign.
[00:22:58]  We support equality, is what they say.
[00:23:01]  And so CNN's article admits this.
[00:23:04]  What CNN's article admits is the most important takeaway, which is that the cult of diversity has made America a much more dangerous place.
[00:23:16]  Is diversity our strength?
[00:23:18]  Or is the hyper-focus on diversity for diversity's sake a potential vulnerability and weakness?
[00:23:25]  The article continues by saying, According to the FBI report summarizing 2020 crime, the number of homicides that year began to escalate during the summer months.
[00:23:37]  Very simple.
[00:23:39]  You have an outward war on police of defunding the police.
[00:23:44]  Innocent blacks and Hispanics are going to die.
[00:23:49]  Of course, BLM would never mention any of that.

=== Wokeism In High School Structures (07:58) ===

[00:23:54]  They say it's a pandemic in cities like Chicago.
[00:23:58]  It's a pandemic of gun violence.
[00:24:00]  Wrong.
[00:24:00]  It's not a pandemic of gun violence.
[00:24:02]  You want to hear what it really is, but no one wants to say it.
[00:24:05]  It's a pandemic of gang violence.
[00:24:07]  It's a pandemic of young men without fathers killing them, killing each other and themselves.
[00:24:17]  It says here in this article, about 85% of the country's more than 18,000 agencies submitted their 2020 crime data, and the 2021 data is still being tabulated.
[00:24:30]  But we know that the turning point was that as soon as Floyd Palooza started, as soon as we said, up, if you want to go steal a bunch of big screen TVs, you want to go burn down a Wendy's because you're really angry.
[00:24:41]  I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired is what they said.
[00:24:44]  You know what?
[00:24:44]  You got to blow off some steam.
[00:24:46]  It's all right.
[00:24:47]  You can go put pipe bombs in Gucci.
[00:24:49]  We understand.
[00:24:52]  You want to go shoot up in Hermes store?
[00:24:55]  It would be racist for us to dare correct you.
[00:25:00]  And as I was doing this kind of research into the diversity machine, otherwise known as the diversity industrial complex, I couldn't help.
[00:25:10]  I just asked myself, I said, where does this all start?
[00:25:14]  We know where it starts.
[00:25:15]  Obviously, it starts in our education system.
[00:25:17]  And I have a unique perspective.
[00:25:19]  So in the school district that I grew up in, District 214, and District 214 is one of the most interesting school districts in the country, highest paid teachers.
[00:25:29]  But the high school I went to, Wheeling High School, is one of the most diverse high schools in America.
[00:25:33]  Now, it bothers reporters because they actually go and research it.
[00:25:36]  Like, oh, yeah, Charlie probably went to New True.
[00:25:38]  Like, oh, he went to Wheeling, where there were more English as a second language people than people that spoke English.
[00:25:45]  As a white male, I was in the minority at Wheeling High School.
[00:25:53]  It bothers the media when you say that because they want to try to create this picture of some sort of upbringing that I didn't have.
[00:26:00]  But despite the high school I went to was wonderful at the time, there are people from all different sort of cultures and backgrounds, Puerto Ricans, Nicaraguans, El Salvadorians, Mexicans, South Africans, Vietnamese, every culture imaginable.
[00:26:19]  And guess what?
[00:26:20]  10 years ago when I went to high school, 10 years ago, no one talked about race.
[00:26:24]  No one cared.
[00:26:26]  And everyone got along.
[00:26:28]  There was no diversity, equity, inclusion panel.
[00:26:31]  There is no BLM Incorporated, nothing.
[00:26:34]  My upbringing at Wheeling High School was a testament that you can get along with people of all sorts of different races and backgrounds without having to focus on it.
[00:26:45]  However, if you now go to their website, they say, hey, we at District 214, we've decided we want to create racism where it doesn't exist and destroy the pursuit of excellence culture that once existed at Wheeling High School.
[00:26:59]  So you go to their website, what do they have?
[00:27:01]  A commitment to anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusionary practices and initiatives.
[00:27:08]  District 214 says that they're committed to creating an anti-racism, diversity, equity, inclusion strategic plan that would encompass but not be limited to the following components.
[00:27:17]  Excuse me, what sort of anti-racism are you trying to abolish at Wheeling High School?
[00:27:21]  Where did it exist exactly?
[00:27:22]  In the majority Hispanic population?
[00:27:25]  The fact that everyone got along with each other?
[00:27:27]  The fact that Hispanics would graduate as vala Victorians, that scholarship recipients would be people that were first-generation Americans.
[00:27:36]  What racism are you trying to actually abolish?
[00:27:39]  They're trying to create a problem where it doesn't exist to validate their own white guilt because they have deep-seated mental problems and they don't have a connection to any sort of eternal God.
[00:27:48]  It really is that simple.
[00:27:50]  However, it goes through this, and you see this in a high school that I grew up in.
[00:27:54]  I see the diversity virus infecting it, the virus of the cult of diversity.
[00:28:02]  This is what they're doing.
[00:28:03]  They're, in collaboration with the council, the administration will present the school board with an anti-racism, diversity, equity, inclusion recommended district goal by the end of the first quarter of the year.
[00:28:14]  And by the way, this is the most amazing thing.
[00:28:18]  There was this statement that it started with this.
[00:28:22]  Ah, this is what, yeah, okay.
[00:28:23]  It says, the national events and racial justice awakening of recent months have prompted District 214 to expand action and efforts that were already underway.
[00:28:33]  This is basically saying, because of Floyd Apalooza, because our country is burning to the ground, now we have to play into this even more.
[00:28:45]  They have February Institute Days for Professional Development focused on equity experiences, which included at various schools, privilege walk experiences, and a guest speaker on equity and staff student panel.
[00:29:00]  So explain this to me.
[00:29:01]  At a majority Hispanic high school I went to, you're going to now have the white kids that don't even speak the language of most of the people at the high school say, yeah, you got a bunch of privilege.
[00:29:12]  This is now the new way of running things.
[00:29:14]  And what's so sick about all this is that the problem never existed.
[00:29:19]  They had to resurrect it, shadow box it, so it makes all of them feel more important.
[00:29:26]  And it makes America more dangerous.
[00:29:28]  It's that simple.
[00:29:30]  Crime is up.
[00:29:31]  Innocents are being murdered by this sort of garbage.
[00:29:34]  It stems from this sort of garbage that starts in District 214.
[00:29:40]  Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?
[00:29:44]  Well, that's mypillow.com.
[00:29:46]  And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.
[00:29:49]  And part of them being canceled, they want to give you the lowest price yet.
[00:29:53]  So you can get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard MyPillow, regularly, $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code.
[00:30:03]  They also have queen size, regularly $79.98 and $24.98 with a promo code.
[00:30:09]  Or king size, usually $89.98, only $29.98 with your promo code.
[00:30:14]  MyPillow is not just pillows.
[00:30:15]  They have over 150 products, everything from sleepwear to new beds.
[00:30:18]  Go to mypillow.com or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk to take Andrew Mike's special offer on his standard MyPillow.
[00:30:26]  That's mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, or call 800-875-0425, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
[00:30:38]  They always say that diversity is our strength, yet the more we focused on diversity, the more dangerous America cities has become.
[00:30:45]  CNN even admits it.
[00:30:46]  CNN says, homicide spiked following Floyd Apalooza.
[00:30:50]  Okay, so we started talking about race nonstop, and now we look back on the calendar year 2021, and America became significantly more dangerous.
[00:31:03]  Where does this all start?
[00:31:04]  It starts in places like District 214.
[00:31:07]  Teacher-led groups planned ongoing professional learning experiences on equity committees, book studies, and equity training, student panels in which students shared stories and experiences to build staff understanding.
[00:31:20]  February Institute Days for privilege walks and a guest speaker on equity in a student staff panel.
[00:31:26]  Instructional coaching, district teaching and learning coaches conducted conversations for teachers to reflect on classroom practices to ensure equitable experiences for all students.
[00:31:37]  Are you going to have it so that you have to speak English?
[00:31:41]  Because there are plenty of times I didn't understand what the heck was going on.
[00:31:45]  Principal and student advisory committees on the sc and how they're doing with equity in the school.

=== Race Based COVID Testing Decisions (03:54) ===

[00:31:53]  Now, why am I focusing on this?
[00:31:54]  Obviously, I went to high school here.
[00:31:56]  It was a wonderful place to go to high school.
[00:31:57]  No one cared about race when I grew up 10 years ago.
[00:32:00]  And I just want to re-emphasize this has happened over the last decade.
[00:32:05]  This virus of wokeism, of the diversity, equity, inclusion, of the virus of CRT, it's within the structure.
[00:32:21]  It's within the infrastructure, I should say, of almost every major institution.
[00:32:25]  And the numbers speak for itself.
[00:32:27]  When you start all of a sudden now doing policing, yeah, it's in the DNA.
[00:32:31]  Thank you.
[00:32:31]  When you start doing policing based on race, when you now start to administer monoclonal antibodies based on race, which we've covered before, and we covered that it's happening in Texas, and Texas largely denied that.
[00:32:51]  But the videos spoke for themselves.
[00:32:53]  However, New York City has now admitted that race is a priority in distributing COVID tests.
[00:33:01]  New York City health officials have been using race to decide how to allocate precious Chinese coronavirus testing resources, leaked emails from the agency show, according to the New York Post.
[00:33:13]  In a conversation with representatives from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, City Councilman Joe Borrelli's office said that constituents on Staten Island were having a tough time getting COVID tests.
[00:33:26]  But Staten Island is mostly white and middle class.
[00:33:30]  Despite having one of the highest rates, it's not a priority neighborhood because they're the wrong skin color.
[00:33:41]  The Department of Health decided to distribute COVID testing based on race because minority communities, quote, have borne the brunt of the pandemic due to structural racism.
[00:33:56]  Remember, Ibram X. Kendi, we need present discrimination to try and fix current discrimination for future outcomes or whatever.
[00:34:07]  We need to be racist today to fix the fact that people were racist yesterday.
[00:34:13]  So what is the consequence of the diversity mentality of diversity is our strength at all costs?
[00:34:22]  Yeah, it makes America really dangerous is what it is.
[00:34:25]  I mean, one thing, look, I'd be open-minded.
[00:34:26]  Okay, BLM, you guys get to run the country, which you have for the last year and a half.
[00:34:32]  You get all the money you could imagine.
[00:34:34]  Nicole Hannah Jones, you get four different homes.
[00:34:36]  Oprah, you get to act as if you're oppressed.
[00:34:39]  LeBron James, who's almost a billionaire, we get to act as if you're oppressed.
[00:34:43]  Like, okay, you're in charge.
[00:34:45]  Year and a half.
[00:34:46]  You burn down Wendy's.
[00:34:47]  You rob Gucci stores.
[00:34:50]  How's crime been?
[00:34:53]  Well, for inner city blacks that can't afford chauffeured cars and private guards, it's the most dangerous year in 10 of the country's most populous cities.
[00:35:11]  So yes, diversity can mean, when you focus on diversity, it can mean danger.
[00:35:17]  It can.
[00:35:20]  I don't know if diversity is our strength, actually.
[00:35:22]  I'm not so sure about that.
[00:35:24]  I think unity would actually be a strength.
[00:35:26]  Unity that we're all Americans.
[00:35:29]  They have a lot to answer for.
