=== NFL Owners Push Woke Agenda (10:20) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey, everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, our border remains wide open.
[00:00:03]  Is it time for the 25th Amendment for Joe Biden?
[00:00:06]  And NFL owners have decided to implement a further, an incredibly bizarre and aggressive agenda around CRT and around wokeism in the National Football League.

[00:01:01]  Here we go.
[00:01:02]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:01:04]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
[00:01:06]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:10]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:13]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:14]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:15]  His spirit, his love of this country.
[00:01:17]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:01:23]  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.
[00:01:32]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:35]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
[00:01:44]  What happens on college campuses does not stay on college campuses.
[00:01:47]  It goes into corporate boardrooms, goes into the halls of Congress, and also into the owners association of the National Football League.
[00:01:59]  Breaking out of the NFL's meeting, NFL says all teams must add minority offensive coach expands Rooney rule to include all women, to include women.
[00:02:11]  So every year in March, there is an owners meeting that happens in Palm Beach.
[00:02:16]  Sometimes they do it in Hawaii of all the owners.
[00:02:18]  They come together.
[00:02:19]  All 32 teams are there.
[00:02:20]  They get like three representatives in the room each.
[00:02:23]  And it says the NFL has decided, quote, that it can be a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority according to the policy adopted by NFL owners during their annual meeting.
[00:02:34]  And it'll be paid from a league-wide fund.
[00:02:38]  So they're going to have an affirmative action coach just kind of walking around there, a female or a male.
[00:02:45]  Now, look, I believe in the differences between men and women.
[00:02:50]  Obviously, it's kind of a key hallmark of our program.
[00:02:53]  It's also just biological reality.
[00:02:56]  If there's a sport where I think women have the least to contribute, it'd be football.
[00:03:02]  Just the way it is.
[00:03:04]  I don't expect men to contribute to a lot of female sports or female-dominated sports.
[00:03:11]  Quote, it's a recognition that at the moment, when you look at stepping stones for a head coach, they are the coordinator positions.
[00:03:17]  Quote, we clearly have a trend where coaches are coming from the offensive side of the ball in recent years, and we clearly do not have as many minorities in the offensive coordinators.
[00:03:26]  So, of course, now dead is the kind of entire program of meritocracy, and now the NFL wants to employ equity.
[00:03:35]  Okay, be careful what you wish for, NFL.
[00:03:37]  I love the fact that the NFL has been always a system on meritocracy.
[00:03:42]  The National Basketball Association is as well.
[00:03:45]  So, are they going to institute this for players too?
[00:03:48]  Are you going to say, hey, we have too many black players in the NFL?
[00:03:50]  Of course not.
[00:03:51]  That'd be insane.
[00:03:54]  No, but they're doing this for coaches.
[00:03:55]  Why?
[00:03:56]  Well, it's because they're trying to pander to an ever-increasing woke regime.
[00:04:00]  Why are the owners putting up with this, by the way?
[00:04:03]  Why are the owners that 32 of them?
[00:04:07]  Why are they because they don't want the bad headlines in their local news network?
[00:04:11]  The whole thing is around fear, the lack of courage.
[00:04:16]  In addition, the offensive assisted coach mandate, the league also, quote, added women to the language of the Rooney rule at all levels.
[00:04:23]  It will now read that women and/or people of color can satisfy the requirement to interview two external minorities for top positions, including head coach.
[00:04:31]  Women are not required to be interviewed, but they are now included in the fulfillment process.
[00:04:36]  I don't even know this rule existed.
[00:04:39]  This was all spurred by Brian Flores' lawsuit, who said that there's widespread discontent amongst black coaches over NFL hiring practices, despite the fact that black coaches are earning millions of dollars for being coaches.
[00:04:52]  The Rooney rule was put into place as an affirmative action rule that requires teams to interview ethnic minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs.
[00:05:02]  So, you might not be a football fan.
[00:05:03]  You might say, oh, what does this matter?
[00:05:05]  This is just another, you can just file this in the folder of the cultural changes happening in your country where we care less about the character of an individual and more about the skin color of somebody.
[00:05:18]  And now it's come to the place where you would always think that meritocracy would reign supreme.
[00:05:23]  Sports.
[00:05:26]  That you would think that there would be a place where I don't care how you look.
[00:05:31]  I don't care where you're from.
[00:05:34]  I care, are you able to perform?
[00:05:36]  Just win, baby, is what Al Davis would used to say.
[00:05:39]  Now it's, well, you're not, you're white.
[00:05:42]  Now you can't have that coaching position, or you're a woman.
[00:05:46]  Now, the real question is: what is a woman?
[00:05:50]  The NFL didn't mention that in their owners' meeting.
[00:05:54]  40% of the league's coaches are already minorities, which is disproportionate, by the way, to minority's share of the United States population, at least in the black population.
[00:06:07]  Continues by saying, quote, the truth of the matter is, at least, there aren't many women.
[00:06:11]  I said that.
[00:06:11]  Obviously, we can address this as time goes on, but we don't see this problem as a growing issue now that we're addressing it.
[00:06:19]  You need a publicized mission statement to encourage and attract diverse members of prospective ownership groups.
[00:06:24]  Quote, the membership will regard as a positive, meaningful factor if the group includes diverse individuals who would have a significant equity stake in and involved with the club serving as controlling owners of the club.
[00:06:36]  Now, look, the left destroys everything it touches, and they're trying to destroy football.
[00:06:43]  They're trying to destroy professional football.
[00:06:46]  We already saw the damage that BLM has done to professional football, and especially, I can't remember the last time I watched basketball.
[00:06:53]  It's impossible to watch.
[00:06:56]  Announced as part of Roger Goodell, the worst NFL commissioner in history, a diversity advisory committee to invite outside experts to evaluate the league's diversity.
[00:07:06]  Hey, Connor, let's just commit some thought crimes.
[00:07:08]  What percentage of the NFL are black or black men?
[00:07:11]  So they're saying the NFL isn't diverse enough?
[00:07:15]  Oh, you just mean coaches.
[00:07:17]  You don't mean players.
[00:07:19]  So you're okay with the NFL being a majority black league and the NBA being like a 70 or 80% black league, but you don't want the coaches to be a meritocracy.
[00:07:32]  Oh, in 2021, 71% of all the players in the NFL were people of color.
[00:07:38]  That is a race other than white.
[00:07:40]  So, Roger Goodell, are you going to now say, you know, we need to increase the amount of white players in the National Football League?
[00:07:46]  If there is any industry or any community where this racist garbage just is completely self-owning, it would be the National Football League and the National Basketball Association.
[00:07:57]  More black people have become millionaires in the NFL, disproportionate than any other major proportion, I should say, than any other major institution.
[00:08:07]  58% of the NFL is black.
[00:08:10]  58% and 71% are people of color.
[00:08:14]  Roger Goodell says, among its six members is former Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith.
[00:08:19]  It also includes New Jersey Attorney General Pete Harvey and Pamela Carlton.
[00:08:23]  Goodell has raised the possibility of eliminating the Rooney rule entirely and starting over.
[00:08:28]  Quote, it's been very helpful to our diversity efforts overall.
[00:08:32]  So if you really want diversity, why don't you want more white people in the NFL, Roger Goodell?
[00:08:36]  Or you're like, oh, no, no, it's meritocracy as long as it gets the outcome that we want.
[00:08:40]  It's not even diversity.
[00:08:41]  It's black majority, which I'm fine with because it's pure and total meritocracy.
[00:08:48]  Quote, a league record 15 minorities are among the NFL's defensive coordinators for 2022.
[00:08:54]  Overall, minority coaches now make up 39% of the league total, up from 35% in 2021.
[00:09:00]  They're also a record 12 women on coaching staffs.
[00:09:04]  Well, what is a woman?
[00:09:04]  The NFL won't tell us that.
[00:09:07]  The same corrosive, cancerous garbage that we're seeing rip apart corporate America that stems from these college campuses.
[00:09:14]  It's not going to stop.
[00:09:17]  It's not.
[00:09:19]  It's now into the place where we used to think this would be a pastime.
[00:09:22]  Now, thankfully, Major League Baseball started to go a little bit woke in 2020, and I think they've pushed back against it pretty effectively.
[00:09:30]  Out of every major sport in America, the least woke would be hockey.
[00:09:35]  And I don't even think hockey is as major of a sport as baseball.
[00:09:39]  The statement does not require minority participation in ownership groups.
[00:09:43]  The Denver Broncos will be the first test case.
[00:09:45]  They're in the midst of evaluating interested investors for their sale process.
[00:09:49]  Rooney said it was his understanding that several of the groups had minority participation.
[00:09:55]  So basically, they got to go find like Oprah, and she has to go buy a sports team.
[00:09:58]  I don't even know what that means.
[00:10:00]  Golf is pretty non-woke.
[00:10:02]  I agree with that, Connor says.
[00:10:03]  Golf is pretty non-woke.
[00:10:04]  Baseball to their credit.
[00:10:07]  That Manny guy from San Diego Padres, he was wearing a Let's Go Brandon shirt the other day.
[00:10:14]  The National Football League and football is a uniquely American sport.

=== President's Ukraine Strategy Ends (16:59) ===

[00:10:20]  It's about brute force.
[00:10:22]  It's about machismo.
[00:10:25]  It's about the ability to persevere under pressure.
[00:10:28]  It's why Europeans don't understand football, like working hard and like hitting one another.
[00:10:32]  Like we'd rather sip wine and do the cappuccino thing in Milan.
[00:10:37]  They are now trying to woke a five football.
[00:10:39]  In fact, they already have.
[00:10:43]  Does it make any sense that the same company who controls half of online retail also passively eavesdrops on your private conversations at your home?
[00:10:50]  What about the idea of a single company controlling 90% of all internet searches, run your email service and gets to track everything you do on your smartphone?
[00:10:58]  Big tech is more powerful than ever.
[00:11:00]  In fact, they're more powerful than most countries, and they profit by exploiting your personal data.
[00:11:05]  It's time to put a layer of protection between your online activity and these tech oligarchs and juggernauts.
[00:11:10]  That's why I use ExpressVPN.
[00:11:13]  Think about how much of your life is on the internet.
[00:11:15]  Sadly, every site you visit, video you watch, or message you send gets tracked and data mined.
[00:11:20]  But when you run ExpressVPN on your device, the software hides your IP address, something big tech can use to personally identify you.
[00:11:27]  So ExpressVPN makes your activity harder to trace and sell to advertisers.
[00:11:31]  ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your internet data to keep you safe from hackers and eavesdroppers on your network.
[00:11:37]  ExpressVPN does all this about slowing your connection.
[00:11:40]  That's why it's rated number one VPN by Mashable and Tech Radar.
[00:11:44]  What I like most about ExpressVPN is how easy it is to use.
[00:11:46]  Download the app on your phone computer, tap one button, and you're protected.
[00:11:50]  So stop handing over all your personal data to big tech monopolies that mine your activity and sell your information.
[00:11:55]  Protect yourself with the VPN I trust to keep me safe online.

[00:12:13]  All right, everybody, what started as a joke is actually a legitimate national security threat.
[00:12:17]  Joe Biden is a threat to America, period.
[00:12:20]  Joe Biden, I wish him well.
[00:12:22]  He should go to an old person's home and have a nice rest of his life.
[00:12:26]  But him as president of the United States is a direct threat to our national security and to the American way of life.
[00:12:32]  Joe Biden had three specific blunders in Europe.
[00:12:37]  The first of which is when he was just kind of rambling to the troops.
[00:12:42]  I don't think we have this tape.
[00:12:43]  If we can get it, that'd be great.
[00:12:45]  Where he just says, like, yeah, look, you're going to be in Ukraine soon, so you'll see it yourself.
[00:12:50]  Like, wait a second, we're deploying troops to Ukraine.
[00:12:52]  He didn't even realize the cameras were still running.
[00:12:54]  No one in the activist press decided to follow up on that.
[00:12:58]  The second gaffe is where he said, yeah, Vladimir Putin needs to be kind of removed from power.
[00:13:03]  We need to remove him.
[00:13:05]  And the third one is when he said that we're going to respond in kind with chemical weapons if Russia uses chemical weapons.
[00:13:14]  Like, what?
[00:13:16]  We're going to use chemical weapons in Moscow if they use chemical weapons?
[00:13:20]  So let's kind of go through these again.
[00:13:26]  And I'm going to tell, I have a theory on this.
[00:13:28]  It's not that he said things he didn't mean.
[00:13:33]  He said something he didn't mean to say.
[00:13:36]  These are two totally different things.
[00:13:38]  It's not as if he expressed sentiments that he does not believe.
[00:13:42]  But instead, he said stuff that he was not supposed to say publicly.
[00:13:48]  Let's start with his speech where he said we need regime change in Russia, play cut one.
[00:13:57]  We will have a different future, a brighter future rooted in democracy and principles, hope and light of decency and dignity and freedom and possibilities.
[00:14:05]  For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.
[00:14:10]  Sir, this is a Wendy's.
[00:14:14]  Not exactly sure what you're talking about.
[00:14:16]  Oh, you're trying to say we need to remove Vladimir Putin from power.
[00:14:21]  Got it.
[00:14:22]  So regime change is now the stated goal of the government.
[00:14:24]  Now, the entire White House has been walking it back ever since.
[00:14:29]  Thankfully, goodness.
[00:14:31]  So ridiculous.
[00:14:33]  23 Biden says, look, I'm not going to apologize for anything.
[00:14:37]  Play cut 23, pure gaslighting, play cut 23.
[00:14:40]  Whether those are your personal feelings or your feelings as president, do you understand why people would believe you as someone commanding one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world, saying someone cannot remain in power is a statement of U.S. policy.
[00:14:53]  And also, are you concerned about propaganda use of those remarks by the Russians?
[00:14:58]  No and no.
[00:14:59]  Tell me why.
[00:15:00]  You have so much experience.
[00:15:01]  You are the leader of this country.
[00:15:02]  Because it's ridiculous.
[00:15:04]  Nobody believes we're going to take down.
[00:15:07]  I was talking about taking down Putin.
[00:15:09]  Nobody believes that.
[00:15:11]  Nobody believes what I say.
[00:15:13]  I mean, come on.
[00:15:14]  It's not like when I say something, you guys should take it seriously.
[00:15:18]  Play cut 25.
[00:15:20]  Mr. President, thank you.
[00:15:21]  When you say that you're not walking anything back, you do feel that Vladimir Putin should be removed from power.
[00:15:28]  Is that what you're saying?
[00:15:29]  No, what I was, I was expressing just what I said.
[00:15:32]  I was expressing the moral outrage I felt towards this man.
[00:15:35]  I wasn't articulating a policy change.
[00:15:38]  And I think that, you know, he continues on this course that he's on.
[00:15:44]  He is going to become a pariah worldwide.
[00:15:46]  Our country deserves so much better than this.
[00:15:50]  The hardworking people of this nation are veterans, the muscular class, parents that are just trying to do the best they can.
[00:15:57]  Not only is Joe Biden losing his mind, but now his loss of mind is actually impacting our country.
[00:16:04]  It's time to remove him.
[00:16:05]  25th Amendment impeachment, get rid of him.
[00:16:08]  Won't happen, unfortunately.
[00:16:10]  You know, my wife and I were watching Tucker last night, and Erica said, what do the Democrats think of this?
[00:16:16]  That's a great question.
[00:16:17]  Like, they watch this.
[00:16:18]  They're like, yeah, full confidence.
[00:16:20]  Like, troops in Ukraine, chemical weapons in Moscow, regime change, fine.
[00:16:25]  Like, the joke is kind of over.
[00:16:28]  This president is a threat to national security.
[00:16:31]  I wish that he was sane.
[00:16:32]  I never said that against Obama.
[00:16:34]  I mean, I thought Obama was sinister, but I never thought Obama was losing his mind.
[00:16:39]  You see, Obama rarely had gaffes, but he did frequently say things he didn't mean to say.
[00:16:44]  Like what was he with the Russian foreign minister?
[00:16:46]  I need more flexibility after the election.
[00:16:48]  We're just a couple days from fundamentally transforming America.
[00:16:50]  If you like a doctor, you can keep your doctor.
[00:16:52]  These are things that Obama would say repeatedly.
[00:16:55]  We need to explore what the 25th Amendment actually is.
[00:16:58]  And look, I mean, I believe that there is going to be a plan.
[00:17:01]  I don't think Joe Biden makes it all the way through his term.
[00:17:03]  I don't.
[00:17:04]  They're going to try to get him through the halfway mark.
[00:17:06]  There's going to be some sort of taking him out to pasture.
[00:17:11]  Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
[00:17:12]  The left is waging a war on free speech with the help of big tech and the United States government.
[00:17:18]  Thankfully, there are still companies that believe in our Constitution.
[00:17:22]  That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
[00:17:27]  They offer broad nationwide coverage because they use the same towers as the major carriers, get the same great service that funding the major carriers who donate to leftist causes.
[00:17:35]  Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional service.
[00:17:42]  I know the CEO of Patriot Mobile, Glenn.
[00:17:44]  He's amazing.
[00:17:45]  And Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.

[00:18:06]  It's patriotmobile.com slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot, patriotmobile.com slash Charlie.
[00:18:13]  It's time to call for the 25th Amendment.
[00:18:16]  Play cut 26.
[00:18:17]  Look, it feels almost like we're being mean to the guy by quoting him.
[00:18:21]  And no one wants that.
[00:18:22]  No one is making fun of his age or his diminished condition, only trying to defend the country.
[00:18:26]  Then moments later, Biden declared that no reasonable person would think he wants regime change in Russia.
[00:18:31]  All right.
[00:18:31]  Joke's over.
[00:18:32]  Too much is at stake.
[00:18:33]  Is there was ever a time, if there was in U.S. history, ever a time to invoke the 25th Amendment, it is now.
[00:18:39]  As Joe Biden himself put it, for God's sakes, this man cannot remain in power.
[00:18:43]  He's got to go.
[00:18:43]  The cabinet can remove a president of the United States.
[00:18:46]  The 25th Amendment deals with the presidential and vice presidential succession and disability.
[00:18:51]  It was passed by Congress in July 1965.
[00:18:54]  And Section 3 and 4 deals with a president who may suffer from an inability or disability.
[00:18:58]  Now, they tried to use this against Trump unsuccessfully.
[00:19:02]  So let's just kind of go through the last 24 hours.
[00:19:05]  In the last 24 hours, 48 hours, Joe Biden threatened the use of chemical weapons against Moscow.
[00:19:12]  Joe Biden called for regime change and said that American troops might be going to Ukraine.
[00:19:17]  Last 24 hours, Donald Trump hit a hole in one.
[00:19:20]  It's true.
[00:19:20]  Actually, Trump did hit a hole in one.
[00:19:22]  It's a pretty amazing video.
[00:19:22]  You guys should check it out.
[00:19:24]  Don't believe me?
[00:19:25]  Cut 36.
[00:19:26]  Joe Biden says, look, we might send you guys to Ukraine talking to U.S. troops.
[00:19:31]  When are they going to Ukraine?
[00:19:33]  Why is no one asking this?
[00:19:34]  Where is Congress exactly holding the hearing saying, whoa?
[00:19:38]  Why is the commander in chief who has the power to deploy forces at will saying that American troops are now going to Ukraine?
[00:19:44]  Play cut 36.
[00:19:46]  And you're going to see when you're there, however you've been there, you're going to see, you're going to see women, young people stand on a stand in the middle of the front of a damn tank.
[00:19:56]  Just saying, I'm not leaving.
[00:19:58]  I'm holding my ground.
[00:20:00]  They're incredible.
[00:20:02]  Just so frustrating to watch.
[00:20:03]  Yep, that's him saying that.
[00:20:04]  Yeah, you guys are just going to, you're going to go see it for yourself when you go to Ukraine.
[00:20:10]  All this ties together into the new low of Joe Biden's polling.
[00:20:14]  We played this tape, I think, yesterday, but it's worth repeating.
[00:20:17]  Play cut four.
[00:20:18]  And long term, since the start of his presidency, 2021, this number, the approval of Joe Biden on the economy, has just ticked down and down and down.
[00:20:27]  This is a new low for him on the economy.
[00:20:29]  33, 63.
[00:20:31]  Ask voters, sort of an open-ended question here.
[00:20:34]  What do you think the most important issue facing the country is?
[00:20:37]  And there you can see the top two now.
[00:20:39]  Cost of living, jobs in the economy.
[00:20:42]  Russia-Ukraine war, obviously capturing everybody's attention right now, but it's the cost of living.
[00:20:47]  It's jobs.
[00:20:49]  He should not be president of the United States for multiple reasons.
[00:20:52]  And there's more and more evidence coming out in the key battleground states.
[00:20:55]  New peer-reviewed research finds evidence of 2020 shenanigans.
[00:20:59]  That's a really important episode.
[00:21:00]  It ties into the Dinesh D'Souza stuff, the Catherine Engelbrick stuff, the Greg Phillips stuff.
[00:21:04]  Clip 35, Ducey says, look, the big things on the world stage keep getting walked back.
[00:21:10]  Play cut 35.
[00:21:12]  Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back?
[00:21:24]  Very much getting walked back.
[00:21:26]  It made it sound like just in the last couple of days, it sounded like you told U.S. troops they were going to Ukraine.
[00:21:32]  It sounded like you said it was possible the U.S. would use a chemical weapon, and it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia.
[00:21:41]  And we know the three occurred.
[00:21:44]  None of the three.
[00:21:45]  None of the three.
[00:21:46]  Phenomenal question by Ducey, by the way.
[00:21:48]  He's the only journalist left.
[00:21:49]  All the rest are just clamoring, obedient SEALs doing their training of clapping and asking Joe Biden whether he's going to enforce martial law against the unvaccinated in our country.
[00:22:02]  It's a joke.
[00:22:04]  Meanwhile, as we're clamoring about Ukraine, the southern border remains wide open.
[00:22:11]  We are on pace for 1 million.
[00:22:15]  That's right.
[00:22:16]  1 million people crossing into America this year alone so far.
[00:22:22]  1 million.
[00:22:24]  It's an invasion on our southern border.
[00:22:26]  I saw it for myself in Yuma.
[00:22:28]  I saw cartels on the hills with drone reconnaissance.
[00:22:31]  I saw sophisticated binoculars being used.
[00:22:35]  I saw triangulation strategies of multiple points of entry.
[00:22:40]  Quote, the United States will surpass 1 million encounters of non-citizens attempting to enter the country by way of the southern border in the next couple of days.
[00:22:48]  For the next six months of fiscal year 2022, according to U.S. Border Chief Raul Ortiz, a massive spike is occurring.
[00:22:57]  Here's some facts.
[00:22:58]  In January of 2021, when Biden just got inaugurated, 78,000 illegal border crossings.
[00:23:05]  January of this year, 154,000.
[00:23:08]  February of last year, 100,000.
[00:23:10]  February of this year, 164,000.
[00:23:12]  How about February 2020 when Trump was president?
[00:23:15]  36,000.
[00:23:17]  Illegal border encounters.
[00:23:20]  Record-breaking surge of illegal border jumpers anticipated at the U.S.-Mexico border, Border Patrol Chief says.
[00:23:28]  But instead, your Republican leaders and Joe Biden are scrambling to authorize $14 billion for Ukrainian assistance.
[00:23:38]  Might be a great cause, fine, but nothing for the border.
[00:23:43]  Joe Biden has a budget that he's proposed where he seeks twice as much funding for the Ukrainian border than the U.S. border, play cut 33.
[00:23:51]  There was $1.9 billion that was in this most recent omnibus bill that's been carried over to finish the border wall.
[00:23:59]  Is this administration going to finish the border wall?
[00:24:02]  Just so we're clear, the $1.9 billion wasn't rescinded.
[00:24:06]  New money was not provided.
[00:24:08]  And what are you obligating it to?
[00:24:10]  Because you're not doing any construction.
[00:24:12]  So are you just paying people to hold the rusting materials?
[00:24:15]  No, we're actually doing environmental restoration, something that was woefully lacking.
[00:24:21]  We're also doing community consultation.
[00:24:23]  I think that's important to many of you who represent constituents.
[00:24:26]  What is community consultation?
[00:24:28]  What is her name?
[00:24:28]  Shoshonda?
[00:24:29]  Whatever her name is.
[00:24:30]  I mean, no offense, but I can't remember her name.
[00:24:32]  Or Shalanda, whatever her name is.
[00:24:33]  I went down to Yuma and I actually saw the border wall rotting, just rusting right in front of there.
[00:24:39]  Not allowed to use steel.
[00:24:40]  In fact, you can go down to Yuma, just like I did, and you can go see one trailer after the other of contractors that are being paid to sit there, wake up, and do nothing all day long.
[00:24:53]  Is that what community relations is?
[00:24:56]  It's exactly like rubber rooms.
[00:24:58]  The rubber rooms are places in downtown Chicago and Baltimore where they pay the teachers that have raped students or molested them or can't show up on time to literally sit and not teach.
[00:25:11]  We pay them not to teach.
[00:25:13]  Play cut 34, Jim Jordan.
[00:25:16]  It shouldn't surprise us.
[00:25:17]  These guys have been wrong on everything.
[00:25:18]  I mean, in the president, you talked about what's happening on our southern border.
[00:25:22]  These guys have taken a secure border to complete chaos.
[00:25:25]  They've taken energy independence to the president begging OPEC, Iran, and Venezuela to increase production.
[00:25:31]  We went from safe streets to record levels of crime.
[00:25:33]  We went from stable prices to 40-year high inflation.
[00:25:37]  Bill Malujian reporting from the border as our country continues to be overrun.
[00:25:41]  Play cut 37.
[00:25:43]  You here in the Del Rio sector where Eagle Pass is, they have been getting absolutely inundated with migrants.
[00:25:48]  Just this past weekend alone, more than 2,500 apprehensions.
[00:25:53]  The border patrol facilities are now way over capacity, and the federal government has started mass-releasing migrants into communities to help ease some of that pressure.
[00:26:02]  Mass-releasing them into some communities.
[00:26:05]  Now, the apprehensions in a prior administration under Donald Trump, that means they'd be sent back to Mexico or remaining in Mexico.
[00:26:14]  Instead, when they get apprehended, they get lunch.
[00:26:19]  They get the paperwork that is necessary to board a plane and vote in some states, thankfully not Arizona, and they're released into the interior of the United States.
[00:26:27]  Mass releasing.
[00:26:29]  Justthenews.com.
[00:26:32]  Border Patrol to send more agents to border for likely end of Title 42 and a massive immigration surge.
[00:26:39]  Customs and Border Patrol is asking agents across the country to come to the Southwest sector to assist with the soon expected end of the Trump administration's emergency use of Title 42 Federal Health Statute.
[00:26:49]  Now, why we don't mobilize the Marines, mobilize the National Guard, and secure this border once and for all?
[00:26:55]  Well, we know why.
[00:26:56]  Our leaders don't actually care about the country, both Republican and Democrats.
[00:26:59]  They want the cheap labor or they want the cheap votes that come across the southern border.
[00:27:04]  Title 42 grants the government the ability to take emergency action to stop the, quote, introduction of communices.
[00:27:09]  The Trump administration used Title 42 to designate hundreds of thousands of illegals for expulsion, arguing that allowing these migrants to enter the United States may help the spread of COVID-19.

=== MIT Brings Back Standardized Tests (07:26) ===

[00:27:20]  They were right.
[00:27:20]  And it was a COVID era rule that Trump put in place at the beginning of COVID, just like we did with China.
[00:27:26]  The issue is that that is coming to an end.
[00:27:28]  But of course, they're going to end that to allow migrants to come across without testing your vaccines or anything else.
[00:27:34]  While you have to take a vaccine to go to work, if you work at a hospital, and you have to wear a mask when you board a plane.
[00:27:40]  When you go and see the southern border for yourself, it is hard to believe.
[00:27:45]  It's hard to believe that in a wealthy, previously strong country, that we don't have the will or the ability to secure our own southern border.
[00:27:59]  Our leaders just don't have the creativity, the ingenuity, or the willingness to actually get it done.
[00:28:06]  You go down there and you will see billions of dollars of steel rusting away.
[00:28:15]  Not allowed to put it together, not allowed to put it into a wall.
[00:28:18]  When you go talk to Border Patrol down in Yuma, they will tell you, look, I want to be able to do something.
[00:28:24]  I wish I could do something, but I can't.
[00:28:28]  We catch them, and that's it.
[00:28:32]  He said, We catch them, and then we release them in the interior, gave them paperwork.
[00:28:36]  Less than 10% actually show up for their court dates.
[00:28:39]  We have become an unnecessarily overly tolerant society, tolerant of crime, tolerant of the erosion of our sovereignty, tolerant of the illegal invasion of America.
[00:28:53]  Someone who explains how we got here better than anyone else is Christopher Caldwell in his book, Age of Entitlement, one of the best books ever written about how we got into the state of affairs we are right now, where we prioritized the disadvantaged victim over the nation, the alleged disadvantaged victim.
[00:29:10]  So there's a question of whether or not the kind of woke regime will, well, people ever correct themselves.
[00:29:16]  Is there going to be kind of a moment where they try to walk some of it back?
[00:29:18]  Well, MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, my grandfather was a Sloan fellow, so some family ties to MIT.
[00:29:27]  They have this very controversial new announcement where they're saying, okay, we're now going to bring back the SAT and ACT requirement because the last couple of years, due to the woke-ism that has taken over the country, they're like, yeah, we don't need SATs and ACTs anymore.
[00:29:43]  But they're bringing it back, and it's very controversial at MIT.
[00:29:47]  So they have this guy that they interviewed who is Schmill.
[00:29:52]  His name is Stuart Schmill, and he is responsible for trying to implement the standards of how one gets into MIT.
[00:30:03]  And so they have an entire, it's so funny.
[00:30:06]  They have an entire website dedicated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology website, MIT, which is supposed to be, it's one of the best engineering schools on the planet, that and Caltech, where they have a long explanation as to why they're bringing back exams.
[00:30:24]  First question: why is MIT reinstating the SAT and ACT requirement?
[00:30:30]  It says, quote, this is one of my favorite lines in the entire thing: quote, we want to be confident that an applicant has academic preparation and non-cognitive skills to do well in our challenging, fast-paced academic environment.
[00:30:42]  Really?
[00:30:43]  You would want that at MIT?
[00:30:45]  My favorite part of this, though, is when they say, quote, our research shows that in most cases, we cannot reliably predict students that will do well in MIT unless we consider standardized test results alongside grades, coursework, and other factors.
[00:31:02]  And the math component of testing turns out to be the most important.
[00:31:05]  Who would have thought that math would be necessary at MIT?
[00:31:08]  Now, of course, the wokeys, they've been trying to get rid of standardized testing for a long time.
[00:31:15]  You read Heather McDonald's phenomenal book, Diversity Delusion.
[00:31:20]  It goes into that into great length.
[00:31:21]  In fact, I'm rereading it.
[00:31:23]  There's like a whole part on how they're trying to get rid of standardized tests.
[00:31:26]  Fact, I think California, the UC system, I think they've removed standardized tests.
[00:31:30]  If I'm not mistaken, if you guys could pull that article.
[00:31:32]  Now, this is my favorite thing.
[00:31:34]  Quote, I just said this, our research has shown that in most cases, we cannot reliably predict students will do well at MIT unless we considered standardized test results.
[00:31:42]  Really?
[00:31:42]  The geniuses at MIT need to figure that out?
[00:31:45]  Now, here's my favorite thing, though, is where they say the journalist says, Well, what do you say to those who argue that tests create structural barriers for socioeconomically disadvantaged and or underrepresented students?
[00:31:57]  He, of course, Stuart Schmill responds very politically correct.
[00:32:01]  I appreciate this question, which we've kept foremost in our minds as we reviewed our research and policies.
[00:32:06]  MIT admissions has a strong commitment to diversity, and it's important to us that we minimize unfair barriers to our applicants wherever applicants wherever possible.
[00:32:13]  Now, MIT more than any other college, because they are engineering-focused, which is team reality, not stuff about how men can become pregnant, is that they can't afford to make diversity more important than competency.
[00:32:28]  So, MIT, very quietly, that's why they do this whole press release of question and answer.
[00:32:32]  They're like, hey, we kind of can't keep doing this thing or else our entire school is going to fall apart.
[00:32:37]  California is one of a handful of states.
[00:32:39]  Yep, I was right.
[00:32:40]  California education code that allows a parent or guardian to submit a written school request to exclude his or her child from state-mandated assessments.
[00:32:48]  Okay, it continues at MIT, quote, we have found, however, that when we use SAT and ACT increase access to the MIT for students from those groups relative to other things we can consider.
[00:32:58]  The reason for this is educational inequality impacts all aspects of a prospective student's preparation and application, not just test taking.
[00:33:06]  As I wrote, low-income students, unrepresented students of color, and other disadvantaged populations often do not attend schools that offer advanced coursework.
[00:33:14]  This is so unbelievably racist, by the way.
[00:33:17]  He's basically be like, okay, students of color aren't as smart, so we're going to have to compensate them.
[00:33:21]  That's exactly what MIT is saying.
[00:33:23]  They often cannot afford expensive enrichment opportunities, cannot expect lengthy letters of recommendation from their overburdened teachers, or cannot otherwise benefit from this kind of educational capital.
[00:33:35]  Meanwhile, we know that the pandemic was most disruptive to our least resourced students who have no consistent coursework of grading for the last two years now.
[00:33:43]  I realize that my argument may sound counterintuitive to those who have heard that the SAT and ACT exam raises barriers for access, but I don't want to ignore those challenges with, or he answers none of these questions.
[00:33:53]  Basically, this is all camouflage.
[00:33:56]  And I'm actually proud to see this.
[00:33:57]  MIT is basically saying in like this word salad, this is what they're saying.
[00:34:01]  They're saying, listen, we need a school.
[00:34:05]  We need to keep some sort of standards, and we're going to pretend it's for diversity.
[00:34:08]  But in reality, if we don't, this entire enterprise will fall apart.
[00:34:12]  Lesson, the woke regime is going to have some pushback.
[00:34:16]  And if they're pushing back to now bring back SATs and ACTs at MIT after they got rid of them, there might be some trouble in paradise when the wokeys were in charge.
