1
00:00:03,830 --> 00:00:02,869
okay now for our interview with dr ron

2
00:00:05,510 --> 00:00:03,840
scott

3
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:05,520
is this someone that you were familiar

4
00:00:10,549 --> 00:00:07,040
with before all this

5
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:10,559
came down well matt

6
00:00:15,829 --> 00:00:14,160
learned of our efforts uh through cd

7
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:15,839
media

8
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:17,279
he watched an interview with general

9
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:20,800
bishop and reached out to general bishop

10
00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:24,320
regarding our interest in critical race

11
00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:25,599
theory

12
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:29,279
and matt wanted to bring us up to speed

13
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:31,760
on his own research

14
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:34,000
what he had learned about marxism and

15
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:37,200
how it was infiltrating our institutions

16
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:39,760
insidiously i mean a lot of people good

17
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:41,120
people

18
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,920
just have no idea and when i asked even

19
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,120
my own peers

20
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,280
have they heard a critical race theory

21
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:49,440
i'd say seven out of ten will say what

22
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:51,280
is it

23
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:55,120
so it's an ideology that has taken root

24
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:57,039
in our institutions across the entire

25
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:58,480
federal government

26
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:01,920
and a lot of decent people have no idea

27
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:04,159
how dangerous it is and what it's

28
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:05,840
setting us up for

29
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:08,960
and so matt had the courage to uh

30
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:11,920
to give the world the benefit of his

31
00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:12,799
research

32
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:15,439
especially being on active duty and

33
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:16,479
seeing it

34
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:19,520
among the ranks really

35
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:23,600
concerned him and you know he had

36
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:26,880
people who respect him immensely let him

37
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:27,759
know that

38
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:30,320
you know if you go public with this it's

39
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:31,439
potentially

40
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:34,320
controversial and it could impact your

41
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:35,040
career

42
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:38,000
your standing with with the air force

43
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:39,360
well it was only

44
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,880
months ago that the policy coming from

45
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:44,960
the highest level the commander-in-chief

46
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:46,159
president trump

47
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:48,880
was absolutely no critical race theory

48
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,680
being taught

49
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:51,520
in the military or in the federal

50
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:53,119
government at all

51
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:55,439
so we're just a few months removed from

52
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:56,960
that policy

53
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:59,360
here you now have someone speaking out

54
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:00,880
in in writing a book this lieutenant

55
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,399
colonel matthew lohmeyer

56
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:04,000
about critical race theory in the

57
00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:06,719
military and

58
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,399
being removed of his position for it

59
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,560
well more than removed he was relieved

60
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:14,560
of command for cause

61
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:17,599
and his commanding officer at the

62
00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:18,800
three-star level

63
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:20,840
has initiated a commander directed

64
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:22,239
investigation

65
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:25,599
to really uh more deeply examine

66
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:28,160
the circumstances surrounding matt's

67
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:29,360
going public with

68
00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:31,360
what he learned about neo-marxism and

69
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:34,000
its uh its grip on america right now

70
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:35,760
well let's talk through the military

71
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:37,040
procedure on that because i was really

72
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:38,800
curious about that and just

73
00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:40,239
bringing myself up to speed on this

74
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:41,840
story um

75
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:44,800
as far as what what exactly has happened

76
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:45,760
to him

77
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:49,200
thus far and because it seems to me

78
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:50,879
that they've already taken action

79
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:52,160
without there being any any

80
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:53,680
investigation

81
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,959
that now they're promising an

82
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,720
investigation they're going to look into

83
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,239
whether this violated

84
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:00,720
you know no politics in the military

85
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:01,680
type policies

86
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:03,760
so what exactly is the procedural

87
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:04,959
posture of his

88
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:08,720
situation right now well

89
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:11,120
there was a predicate of some sort which

90
00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:11,920
led to

91
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:14,319
his being relieved of command our

92
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,519
understanding it was a

93
00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,440
interview that he had conducted on cd

94
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:19,440
media with todd wood

95
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:22,480
his uh information operations program

96
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,319
and following that interview uh

97
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:28,560
somehow he was directed to be relieved

98
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,760
of command

99
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:32,159
this occurred friday i mean it was very

100
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,280
when was the podcast

101
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:35,120
it was a podcast right right it was

102
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:36,879
earlier in the week earlier in the week

103
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:37,519
so yeah

104
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:40,720
because the timeline in this is really

105
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:41,200
kind of

106
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:44,400
unusual so he does a podcast

107
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:47,760
early last week correct somehow

108
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:49,599
somebody learns about this and listens

109
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:51,920
to it and within a matter

110
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:55,360
of a day or two from that

111
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,480
he's relieved of his position exactly

112
00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:00,560
and and i saw the interview that matt

113
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:01,599
had uh

114
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:04,799
took part in and he was not really

115
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:08,159
uh pointing fingers or identifying

116
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:12,080
people as uh being the uh

117
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:13,840
the advocates of this he was just

118
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:16,079
pointing out that the ideology itself

119
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:17,919
that is manifesting

120
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:21,120
within our ranks is is dangerous and

121
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,160
wanted to to call it out i mean

122
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:26,800
my guess being far removed from this is

123
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,280
that

124
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:29,440
perhaps it had more to do with the book

125
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:30,400
that really

126
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:32,880
had bothered people that he dared to

127
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,400
release a book and just i'll

128
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:36,080
share the title with everybody i'm sure

129
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:37,520
they've already seen it but

130
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:40,639
irresistible revolution marxism's goal

131
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:43,759
of conquest and the unmaking of the

132
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:45,360
american military

133
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:48,960
so you know pretty controversial

134
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:51,600
title and in book to release while you

135
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:52,400
are

136
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:55,360
a lieutenant colonel um do you think

137
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:56,080
perhaps that's

138
00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:58,880
what got their attention no absolutely

139
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:00,320
and i suspect that those that were

140
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,560
involved haven't even read the book

141
00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:05,120
uh and what i want to point out is that

142
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:05,919
uh

143
00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:07,360
matt is two years below the zone of

144
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:08,960
lieutenant colonel

145
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:11,600
and following air command staff college

146
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,360
and in residence professional military

147
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:14,960
education program

148
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,400
he was identified and invited

149
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:20,400
to study for a year at the school of

150
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:22,479
advanced air and space studies

151
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:24,320
right there at maxwell and this is the

152
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:26,080
top one percent that gets selected for

153
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:26,880
that

154
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:29,039
and while he was there he did a deep

155
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:30,080
dive

156
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,120
into marxism critical race theory how

157
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:35,520
it's manifesting in america

158
00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:39,280
and it just really concerned him because

159
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,479
unless you are alerted to it and take

160
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,120
the time to really look into it

161
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:47,680
this stuff is pretty innocuous uh as i

162
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:49,039
mentioned seven out of ten of my own

163
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:50,240
colleagues

164
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:51,520
haven't even heard of critical race

165
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,680
theory what in your

166
00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:55,360
personal discussions with with matt

167
00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,960
before all this came down

168
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:58,400
what do you recall were the things that

169
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:01,280
he was really sharing with you guys

170
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:04,160
about what he is seeing like you know

171
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:05,360
very specifically

172
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:08,160
what is going on in the military that is

173
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:10,400
promoting this kind of thing

174
00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:14,160
it's it's pushing a uh an extremist

175
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:16,800
divisive framework where you have

176
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:19,120
oppressors and oppressed

177
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:22,639
and scholars like ibrahim kennedy who's

178
00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:24,000
written a book called how to be an

179
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,120
anti-racist

180
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:27,360
if you actually read his book first of

181
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:28,400
all he says

182
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:32,400
african americans cannot be racist

183
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:34,800
but when you follow the logic when he

184
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:36,479
talks about anti-racism

185
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:39,759
not being against racism but anti-racism

186
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,960
is to be anti-white that it's it's in

187
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:43,919
our dna

188
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,720
to be oppressors and then there are

189
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:48,240
multiple groups of oppressed

190
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,280
and this is where you get into the

191
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:51,280
political identity groups

192
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,870
mystery here is that marxism began as an

193
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:00,720
economic

194
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:04,000
class struggle the bourgeoisie against

195
00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:04,960
the proletariat

196
00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:07,919
the property owners versus the workers

197
00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:10,080
and when that didn't work in america

198
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:12,319
they had to change that from an economic

199
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:13,360
situation

200
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:16,240
to a political identity type class

201
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:17,280
warfare

202
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:19,120
and that's what's driving it right now

203
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:20,720
and it's it's extremely

204
00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:23,919
divisive yeah our middle class is too

205
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,639
strong

206
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:26,639
in america for them to buy the whole

207
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:28,479
oppressed worker thing

208
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:31,039
exactly instead they're trading on

209
00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:32,639
racism and saying that that's the

210
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:34,720
oppressed class it's the minority class

211
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,960
which by the way that minority group

212
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:38,800
keeps growing because i think the bigger

213
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:40,000
they can make that

214
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,800
class in their view the better so first

215
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:44,400
it's black

216
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:47,520
is black and brown

217
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:49,280
i'm still not sure i know what they

218
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:50,800
exactly mean by brown but

219
00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,080
there's black and brown and then now

220
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,960
asians who are doing extremely well in

221
00:07:59,909 --> 00:07:58,240
this country to the point where they're

222
00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:59,919
now being discriminated against in

223
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,360
universities because they're performing

224
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:03,840
so well they're trying to include them

225
00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:05,840
you know this whole asian hate

226
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:07,919
thing that we're hearing about which is

227
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:10,000
totally blown out of proportion

228
00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:13,360
correct right so now you've got black

229
00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:16,319
brown asian of course they throw women

230
00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:17,759
in there

231
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:22,160
you know it

232
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:25,280
everybody is being oppressed other than

233
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:28,319
white anglo-saxon males exactly right

234
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:28,639
and

235
00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:32,120
dangerous

236
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:35,360
anti-semitism if you read hannah aaron's

237
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:38,240
book the origins of totalitarianism

238
00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:39,760
she talks about the role that

239
00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:42,719
anti-semitism played in inflaming

240
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:46,399
the public so they had to find an enemy

241
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:48,959
that they could uh orient their angst

242
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:51,040
and hatred and contempt toward

243
00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:53,920
and it was the jew during that time the

244
00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:55,839
early part of the 20th century

245
00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:59,040
and we saw it play out in germany

246
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,959
the rise of the third reich

247
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:02,560
anti-semitism played a

248
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:05,680
huge role in organizing the masses to

249
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,959
to do hitler's bidding and so they had

250
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:10,320
to make it emotional

251
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:12,240
and that's what we see right now playing

252
00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:14,959
out in america it's a similar dynamic

253
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,800
so when you analogize to to germany

254
00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:20,880
who are the jews in america are you

255
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:22,560
analogizing the jews to essentially

256
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:23,279
white males

257
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:26,480
in america today yep white male that

258
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:27,920
that's that's the enemy that

259
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:30,399
that's who you should hate yes and you

260
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:32,160
can go right straight to kendy's book

261
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:33,760
how to be an anti-racist

262
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,110
yeah i mean what's funny is

263
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:43,360
i'll never forget and i said this in a

264
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:44,560
prior podcast when i was talking with

265
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:44,959
rod

266
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:47,519
um about my friend who who went to west

267
00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:49,120
point and i'll never forget the story he

268
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:50,160
told me

269
00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,200
uh where he said that uh if your

270
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:55,680
captain comes to you and and says asks

271
00:09:58,710 --> 00:09:56,640
you

272
00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,720
plebe johnson how many blacks are in

273
00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:00,080
your platoon

274
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:04,240
he says if you the correct answer is sir

275
00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:06,800
i don't know sir that's the correct

276
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:07,279
answer

277
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:09,360
that's what he was taught at the academy

278
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:10,800
now this is

279
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:14,000
late 1980s being taught in the academy

280
00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:15,760
to be color blind

281
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:18,959
and to not know what the racial makeup

282
00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:21,360
is of your platoon or obviously not

283
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:22,079
think about it

284
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,160
because it doesn't matter because we're

285
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:26,240
all americans

286
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:28,880
we're all of one race called the human

287
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:29,920
race

288
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:31,279
we're looking for the best and the

289
00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:33,120
brightest and the

290
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:36,720
color somebody's skin has nothing to do

291
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:40,240
with that so that's what was going on at

292
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:43,680
the at west point in the 1980s

293
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:46,240
so when this first came to my attention

294
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:47,519
by rod bishop

295
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:49,360
a few months ago i was shocked because i

296
00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:50,720
i knew the left had taken over

297
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:52,959
universities and taken over the media

298
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:55,040
and taken over social media and then i'm

299
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:57,040
starting to learn that has taken over

300
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:00,880
our schools and taking over big tech

301
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:03,519
and then churches taking over the

302
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:04,399
churches

303
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:06,160
and then the last one i hear that i

304
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:07,760
never would have guessed

305
00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:10,480
is the u.s military because i had in my

306
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:10,959
head

307
00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:13,120
the story from the late 80s but that's a

308
00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:14,320
long time ago yeah

309
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:16,959
yeah no you're right jim in fact uh when

310
00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:19,040
i was a vice wing commander at yokota in

311
00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:20,079
japan

312
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:23,279
in 1995 i made it a point

313
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:27,279
to sit in on introductory classes on

314
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:28,560
equal opportunity

315
00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:31,040
at the base for newcomers to really

316
00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:32,320
reinforce our

317
00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:35,839
uh emphasis on equal opportunity

318
00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:38,320
that discrimination is not tolerated in

319
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:40,959
fact we have zero tolerance policies

320
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:43,519
and i remember in one of the sessions a

321
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:44,320
young

322
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:47,360
lady african-american with one stripe

323
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,880
introduced herself as a proud

324
00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:50,399
african-american

325
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:52,079
and that she was aware that

326
00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:53,920
discrimination was taking place

327
00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:57,440
at yokota after the session i pulled her

328
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,160
aside i

329
00:12:02,629 --> 00:12:00,240
said young lady i'm the vice wing

330
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:02,639
commander and i you got my attention

331
00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:04,880
if you're aware discrimination is taking

332
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:06,880
place we need to know that so we can nip

333
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:08,160
it in the bud

334
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:09,760
and she admitted to me that she didn't

335
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:11,600
really know of any uh discrimination

336
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:13,120
that was taking place but she just knew

337
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:15,440
in her heart it was taking place

338
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,240
and to me that's what characterizes a

339
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:20,000
lot of what we see happening in america

340
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:20,720
today

341
00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:23,600
people have been made to believe that

342
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:25,920
there's far more racism going on

343
00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:28,240
than is true and if you if you bear with

344
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:29,200
me

345
00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:33,760
superintendent at the air force academy

346
00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:35,839
sent a letter to the academy family

347
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:38,079
claiming systemic racism

348
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,880
at the academy so i filed a freedom of

349
00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:42,560
information act request

350
00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:46,959
asking for data to support that claim

351
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:50,079
and it wasn't really accusatory or

352
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:52,800
interrogatory it was in the mode of

353
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:54,000
inquiring

354
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:56,160
you're making this statement so i think

355
00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:57,760
it would be helpful to my friends and

356
00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:58,880
other colleagues

357
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:00,720
that scratch their head and wondering i

358
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:02,800
didn't realize we had systemic racism i

359
00:13:08,069 --> 00:13:05,040
could give them the data to support that

360
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:08,079
it took six months to get a response

361
00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:10,880
and it didn't answer my three questions

362
00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:12,000
very simple

363
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:15,040
number one over the past 15 years how

364
00:13:17,110 --> 00:13:15,360
many

365
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:17,120
racial discrimination complaints were

366
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:18,880
filed per year

367
00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:21,040
of those filed how many ballot were

368
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:22,959
validated as violating

369
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:26,320
our zero tolerance policies and of those

370
00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:28,480
validated what was the nature of

371
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:30,639
discipline or accountability

372
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:34,000
i had to to to

373
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,519
decipher the 20 pages they sent me

374
00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:39,440
which was just aggregated data over a

375
00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:40,880
14-year period

376
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,959
but the best i could determine that over

377
00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:44,399
that 14-year period

378
00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:48,160
there were 55 discrimination complaints

379
00:13:51,189 --> 00:13:50,000
that included 10 categories of

380
00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:51,199
discrimination

381
00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:54,480
racial being one of them and so

382
00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:57,120
uh they didn't answer my questions and

383
00:14:01,990 --> 00:13:59,760
so i could only conclude from that

384
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:02,000
that there is not systemic racism at the

385
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:03,760
academy but they come up with these

386
00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:04,720
claims

387
00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:06,880
and they don't provide data or evidence

388
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:08,959
to support it

389
00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:11,440
well and in fact and i'd be curious your

390
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:12,639
thoughts

391
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:14,880
your personal experience if anything the

392
00:14:18,670 --> 00:14:16,000
military seemed to

393
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:18,680
be a leader in um having

394
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:19,920
anti-discriminatory

395
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:23,360
policies and in looking for

396
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,040
the best and the brightest irrespective

397
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:27,600
of race and in gender and so on

398
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:30,240
yeah absolutely and jim i'm going to say

399
00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:31,760
something that is going to be very

400
00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:34,880
very offensive to some people for a

401
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:36,880
cadet at the air force academy

402
00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:38,480
if they look at their current chain of

403
00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:41,360
command from the secretary of defense

404
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:42,720
to the chief of staff of the united

405
00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:44,880
states air force to the superintendent

406
00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:46,079
of the academy

407
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,120
the vice commandant academy

408
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:54,000
that picture does not paint uh an image

409
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:56,320
of systemic racism

410
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,600
so the actual image right now does not

411
00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,720
support it

412
00:15:04,790 --> 00:15:02,800
does that support are you are you saying

413
00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:04,800
that all the people you just identified

414
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:06,000
are african-american

415
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:09,519
yes and then add to that the commandant

416
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:10,079
cadets

417
00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:12,880
is a woman the dean of academics is a

418
00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:13,519
woman

419
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:15,519
the only white male in the leadership

420
00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:17,040
chain right there at the academy is the

421
00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:18,880
director of athletics

422
00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:20,800
well i'm going to say something perhaps

423
00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:22,959
more controversial than what you said

424
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:25,040
i'm going to say there that is your

425
00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,120
evidence of discrimination

426
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:29,519
because based on percentages what is the

427
00:15:33,189 --> 00:15:30,560
likelihood

428
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:33,199
that an african-american would hold all

429
00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:34,000
of those

430
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:36,000
positions the bottom line is in the

431
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:37,279
military today

432
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:39,279
they are practicing illegal

433
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:40,800
discrimination

434
00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:44,720
against men and against whites

435
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:46,880
so i'll say that i don't know if you're

436
00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:48,720
willing to say that but i'm saying

437
00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:52,399
that the u.s military is discriminating

438
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:55,440
as we speak against whites

439
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,069
i agree and and i will tell you that

440
00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:04,560
there are efforts underway right now

441
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:07,120
and uh i'm with a group called stand

442
00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:08,480
together against racism

443
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,519
and radicalism in the services this

444
00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:13,600
morning we had 80 members in our group

445
00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:16,079
after general bishop was interviewed

446
00:16:19,829 --> 00:16:17,600
earlier on a program

447
00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:19,839
before noon we had 400 people that had

448
00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:22,320
signed up to support our effort

449
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:26,399
uh we at some point beyond educating the

450
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:26,880
public

451
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:30,320
about the the threat of ideology

452
00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:33,920
uh we're exploring ways of addressing

453
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:35,120
those types of

454
00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:39,279
injustices and into seek remedies

455
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:41,199
uh we're going to post links and so on

456
00:16:45,749 --> 00:16:44,160
but just to tell people

457
00:16:47,829 --> 00:16:45,759
what is the best way for this to sign up

458
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,839
to support stars

459
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:50,160
it's brand new in fact we opened it up

460
00:16:58,829 --> 00:16:50,880
this weekend

461
00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:01,590
www.stars.us

462
00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:05,520
so let's go back to low meyer's um

463
00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:08,799
story so there was no

464
00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:11,679
um investigation at least as of yet as

465
00:17:14,710 --> 00:17:12,480
far as we know

466
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:14,720
right and all we know is what they've

467
00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:15,520
said

468
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:18,640
which is that um he's relieved of duty

469
00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:21,360
due to loss of trust and confidence in

470
00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:23,679
his ability to lead

471
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:25,360
and that investigation has been

472
00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:27,120
initiated into whether his comments on

473
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:27,919
the podcast

474
00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:29,760
constituted prohibited partisan

475
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:33,120
political activity correct

476
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:36,320
and what what's ironic about it is he's

477
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:36,799
being

478
00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:40,960
hammered for uh

479
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:44,799
being critical of a political ideology

480
00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:46,240
that's being pushed in the department of

481
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,840
defense

482
00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,440
which as we said sorry to interrupt just

483
00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:51,440
to remind people just i just

484
00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:54,320
hit my microphone um just a few months

485
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:56,240
ago

486
00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:58,080
the commander-in-chief had made it very

487
00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:59,520
clear that

488
00:18:03,669 --> 00:18:01,440
this is prohibited in the military what

489
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:03,679
he's speaking out about is exactly what

490
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:04,960
our prior commander-in-chief

491
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:08,480
spoke out about correct and and

492
00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:09,840
now he loses his job but three months

493
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:11,679
later he loses his job over it

494
00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:14,480
right but i will tell you that matt

495
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:16,320
filed an ig complaint

496
00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:18,640
uh and it was dismissed at the uh space

497
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:20,000
command level

498
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:22,320
but uh his complaint was after the

499
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:23,840
executive order came out from the

500
00:18:27,909 --> 00:18:24,880
president

501
00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,919
the base commander was still pushing

502
00:18:32,230 --> 00:18:29,600
critical race theory

503
00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:32,240
training at the base he was assigned to

504
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:34,480
in in

505
00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:37,760
defiance of the executive order and i

506
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:39,679
understand that same base commander

507
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:42,960
came out on the one star list

508
00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:45,600
and that's someone different than the

509
00:18:49,909 --> 00:18:46,880
then who um

510
00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:49,919
terminated him which is correct

511
00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:51,679
the in the individual that terminated

512
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:53,520
him was a colonel

513
00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,320
and after the ig came back and dismissed

514
00:19:00,549 --> 00:18:58,320
his ig complaint he came out on the one

515
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:00,559
star list

516
00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:02,720
and what's going to happen to to lo so

517
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:05,039
he's not dismissed from the military

518
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:07,360
where does where is he now and what

519
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,960
happens next for him

520
00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:10,559
they just reassign him to another

521
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:12,160
position on the base or

522
00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:13,280
[Music]

523
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:18,230
it's equivalent because uh when you're

524
00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:20,160
relieved of command for cause it has to

525
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:21,120
be

526
00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:23,039
entered into your performance report

527
00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:24,559
which is a kiss of death

528
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:27,919
it basically means you were fired uh

529
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:31,840
but more than that it could uh relate to

530
00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:34,400
legal implications that could end up in

531
00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:36,640
a court martial

532
00:19:41,669 --> 00:19:39,679
and i will point out that matt's courage

533
00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:41,679
that he is displayed and he knew the

534
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:43,679
risks going into this

535
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:45,840
i would put on the same level as billy

536
00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:46,960
mitchell

537
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:50,640
when he defied an order

538
00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:52,160
in order to demonstrate the the

539
00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:53,760
potential of air power

540
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:55,440
and he faced a court martial and he was

541
00:20:02,310 --> 00:19:57,280
found guilty for disobeying an

542
00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:02,320
order but we have air power today

543
00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:05,200
and and arguably air power is what was

544
00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:07,840
decisive in the second world war against

545
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:11,440
marxism yeah well i think it's great

546
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:13,760
that he obviously he's calling attention

547
00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:17,440
to it and um is going to be on hannity

548
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:21,280
tonight right correct yeah um

549
00:20:27,909 --> 00:20:24,320
so tell us about this uh stand down

550
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:27,919
day i think that he talks about this and

551
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:31,120
this was um put in place by the

552
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:33,200
the current um secretary of defense

553
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,720
secretary of defense

554
00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:36,240
what what was the whole basis behind

555
00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:37,919
stand down day and and

556
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:39,840
did it happen and what happened on stand

557
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:42,000
down day that's a great question

558
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,760
that stemmed from the sixth january

559
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:45,600
event at the capitol

560
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:48,799
and the idea was to stand down

561
00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:50,960
troops across the the department of

562
00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:53,039
defense for one day

563
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:54,400
and to talk about the dangers of

564
00:20:59,350 --> 00:20:57,280
extremism the document that came out

565
00:21:00,549 --> 00:20:59,360
gave examples of extremism and they were

566
00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:00,559
all right of center

567
00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,200
extremism never talked about black lives

568
00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:05,280
matter or antifa

569
00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:07,120
and the groups that were burning and

570
00:21:11,669 --> 00:21:08,400
looting cities

571
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:11,679
over this past summer we filed another

572
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:14,000
foia complaint by the way

573
00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:17,120
and i got pushed back this week uh

574
00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:20,720
asking me what is the public interest in

575
00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:24,480
uh wanting to know what materials and uh

576
00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:26,640
slides and presentations were conducted

577
00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:28,720
on extremist down day

578
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:31,440
and they're asking me to demonstrate

579
00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:31,760
that

580
00:21:35,270 --> 00:21:34,559
my request uh is in the public interest

581
00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:35,280
wow

582
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:37,200
i mean you're just trying to find out

583
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:38,960
you heard about stand down day

584
00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:41,520
and you're wondering okay what happened

585
00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:43,200
on stand down day and what materials

586
00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:44,240
were used

587
00:21:48,149 --> 00:21:46,720
et cetera and they're they're saying

588
00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:48,159
what is the public interest in knowing

589
00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:48,799
this

590
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:50,799
yep what's being taught to our military

591
00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:52,880
and if i don't give them a satisfactory

592
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:55,039
response they will close my case on

593
00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:57,840
26 may now am i correct though that it

594
00:22:03,909 --> 00:21:58,320
was

595
00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,919
used throughout all of the military for

596
00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:05,679
stand down day it was was it almost left

597
00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:06,799
up to kind of the local

598
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:08,640
level as to what to do on that day they

599
00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:11,440
they guidance was provided but

600
00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:14,159
flexibility was allowed so have you seen

601
00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:15,600
the guidance

602
00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:19,600
and again it was in that guidance they

603
00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:22,080
gave four examples of extremist activity

604
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:22,960
and they were all

605
00:22:26,789 --> 00:22:25,840
white supremacist right of center

606
00:22:30,789 --> 00:22:26,799
examples

607
00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:30,799
and when we say stand down day

608
00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:32,799
what does that really mean did they

609
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:34,960
really do something for an entire day

610
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:39,200
where they had some program related to

611
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:41,840
extremism i think it varied from base to

612
00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:43,520
base

613
00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:46,480
it could have been an hour-long seminar

614
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:47,200
with uh

615
00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:48,960
you know an hour of discussion i don't

616
00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:50,720
think it they

617
00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:53,280
put people through an eight-hour ordeal

618
00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:54,720
so it probably rains anywhere from an

619
00:22:58,390 --> 00:22:55,280
hour to

620
00:23:01,270 --> 00:22:58,400
four hours be my guess

621
00:23:01,669 --> 00:23:01,280
my um brother-in-law is in the navy and

622
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:01,679
i just

623
00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:04,960
texted him happy stand down day

624
00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:07,120
whatever the hell that is and he just

625
00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:09,039
kind of sent a smiley face back i i

626
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:11,120
haven't asked him what what he

627
00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:12,400
experienced i mean i presume you've

628
00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:14,799
heard some stories as to

629
00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:16,400
what happened on stand down day at

630
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:18,640
various locations well you know i

631
00:23:25,669 --> 00:23:21,760
i asked some cadets here locally and

632
00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:25,679
they said that they've been advised that

633
00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:29,760
this is related to operational security

634
00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,630
coached not to go public with wow

635
00:23:39,750 --> 00:23:38,480
so so they clammed up they weren't

636
00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:39,760
willing to tell you what they did on

637
00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:40,559
stand down day

638
00:23:46,470 --> 00:23:43,919
right yeah i don't

639
00:23:47,350 --> 00:23:46,480
and that that's anecdotal i mean that's

640
00:23:49,269 --> 00:23:47,360
just uh

641
00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:49,279
you know a handful of cadets i talked to

642
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:52,400
i i can't say for a fact that that was

643
00:23:58,950 --> 00:23:55,760
a cadet wing wide

644
00:24:00,470 --> 00:23:58,960
effort so it definitely seems as if the

645
00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:00,480
military has accepted

646
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:02,480
the idea that there has been systemic

647
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:04,320
racism in the military

648
00:24:10,149 --> 00:24:07,360
and that in order to overcome

649
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:10,159
these decades of systemic racism we need

650
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:12,080
diversity inclusion and equity

651
00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,000
we need affirmative action um i mean

652
00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:18,480
it really isn't that how it manifests

653
00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:19,440
itself the most

654
00:24:24,390 --> 00:24:22,240
is in them practicing affirmative action

655
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:24,400
if we were to tie

656
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,440
this um acceptance

657
00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:30,000
of uh systemic racism by the military

658
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:30,559
and then

659
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:32,320
what policies are coming out of

660
00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:33,600
accepting this

661
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:38,640
it's basically hiring and promoting

662
00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:41,840
people in these categories

663
00:24:48,549 --> 00:24:46,320
uh jim i'm going to advance a theory

664
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:48,559
and i mean i have a phd and i do

665
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:49,360
research

666
00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:52,400
and i'm very very cautious about

667
00:25:03,350 --> 00:24:59,110
theories along these lines but

668
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:03,360
when the former president before

669
00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:06,640
president trump was elected uh a lot of

670
00:25:10,789 --> 00:25:08,159
people were pretty euphoric

671
00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:10,799
as evidence that we have really come a

672
00:25:14,549 --> 00:25:11,679
long way

673
00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:14,559
in making america less and less racist

674
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:16,000
as a nation

675
00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:19,120
a wall street journal study said going

676
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:20,000
into that election

677
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:22,480
79 percent of people felt race relations

678
00:25:28,230 --> 00:25:24,799
were healthy

679
00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:28,240
but some things happened in between

680
00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:30,320
we had the trayvon martin case down in

681
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:32,880
florida and of course as you remember

682
00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:34,320
zimmerman was acquitted that they

683
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:36,559
couldn't find that that he had committed

684
00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:37,440
a crime

685
00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:39,360
well that became the genesis for the

686
00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:41,760
black lives matter organization

687
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:44,240
and the term black lives matter but it

688
00:25:47,669 --> 00:25:45,440
didn't have any traction

689
00:25:49,269 --> 00:25:47,679
until the michael brown case in ferguson

690
00:25:52,390 --> 00:25:49,279
missouri

691
00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:52,400
and if you look at a lot of the the

692
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:53,039
little

693
00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:00,870
assertions made at the highest levels uh

694
00:26:07,430 --> 00:26:04,240
that 79 in a matter of four years

695
00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:07,440
dropped down to almost 50 percent and

696
00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:10,240
in some areas below 50 so the the

697
00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:12,000
sentiment in the public

698
00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:14,159
was changed from feeling good about

699
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:15,919
where we are in race relations

700
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:17,919
to not being so good and as you know

701
00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:19,760
both those cases

702
00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:22,240
uh they were distorted in the public

703
00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:24,080
media

704
00:26:27,269 --> 00:26:26,080
the black lives matter organization said

705
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:27,279
that what happened

706
00:26:31,669 --> 00:26:30,480
to trayvon martin was an injustice that

707
00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:31,679
zimmerman should have been

708
00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:34,400
ex you know convicted sent to prison

709
00:26:37,990 --> 00:26:35,600
that became their

710
00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:38,000
their their crusade and then michael

711
00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:39,360
brown

712
00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:43,120
gave him even more traction and so

713
00:26:46,789 --> 00:26:44,960
that's where the term black lives matter

714
00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:46,799
began and the founders of that

715
00:26:51,830 --> 00:26:48,640
organization are marxist

716
00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:51,840
they admit it in the early days of their

717
00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:52,799
website

718
00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:54,400
they talked about their goals being to

719
00:27:00,230 --> 00:26:56,640
destroy the nuclear family

720
00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:00,240
uh and to push values and norms that

721
00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:02,240
were contrary to our judeo-christian

722
00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:03,360
traditions

723
00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:06,559
so it was it was a political movement

724
00:27:10,789 --> 00:27:08,880
and when the football coaches at the

725
00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:10,799
academy came up with their video

726
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:14,400
back in 7 july 2020

727
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:17,279
saying black lives matter seven times in

728
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:18,880
a three minute video

729
00:27:22,070 --> 00:27:20,720
that's when people like general bishop

730
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:22,080
and i

731
00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:25,120
uh got involved you know what's going on

732
00:27:29,430 --> 00:27:26,000
here

733
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:29,440
and it's it was i'll tell you it

734
00:27:34,149 --> 00:27:32,080
it snuck up on us and if you know we're

735
00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:34,159
convinced if we don't do

736
00:27:40,470 --> 00:27:37,520
enough now to stem that movement

737
00:27:42,149 --> 00:27:40,480
america is lost i mean because they've

738
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:42,159
already infiltrated

739
00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:45,760
our military institution

740
00:27:52,149 --> 00:27:49,360
yeah the goal is ultimately

741
00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:52,159
to um tear down the existing system and

742
00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:53,919
replace it with another system and

743
00:27:57,990 --> 00:27:56,000
and in order to do that you need to

744
00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:58,000
discredit the existing system

745
00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:00,320
with the idea that the whole system is

746
00:28:06,630 --> 00:28:01,600
founded on

747
00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:06,640
racism and and even though

748
00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:08,480
all the laws have been changed at this

749
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:09,919
point and

750
00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:11,520
there's all kinds of anti-discrimination

751
00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:13,440
laws and so on so instead they realized

752
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:16,480
today on well it's systemic which is an

753
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:18,240
amorphous claim as you point out they're

754
00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:19,360
not able to point to

755
00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:21,279
systemic but the whole idea being to

756
00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:22,720
discredit

757
00:28:26,470 --> 00:28:25,360
the founding of the united states and

758
00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:26,480
our existing system

759
00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:28,960
in order to replace it with something

760
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:30,159
and as you point out

761
00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:31,520
black lives matter has already made it

762
00:28:37,269 --> 00:28:33,760
clear we we know that they're

763
00:28:39,190 --> 00:28:37,279
uh marxists because they they told us so

764
00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:39,200
and on their website they made it very

765
00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:41,200
clear that they want to disrupt the

766
00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:43,919
nuclear family um we see a lot of

767
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:46,000
movement going on in that regard and

768
00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:49,840
in the military um you know i guess the

769
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:51,440
goal would be to

770
00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:52,960
weaken the u.s military if you want to

771
00:28:56,070 --> 00:28:55,200
weaken all elements of u.s society

772
00:28:58,950 --> 00:28:56,080
including

773
00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:58,960
the military well and there's there's

774
00:29:02,870 --> 00:29:00,080
there's

775
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:02,880
two sources of wisdom that shine a light

776
00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:03,919
on this

777
00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:06,720
one dates back a couple of millennia to

778
00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:07,679
sun tzu

779
00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:10,320
and his book the art of war and he

780
00:29:16,149 --> 00:29:12,399
devotes a chapter to what he calls

781
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:16,159
the sheathed sword a way to defeat the

782
00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:18,000
enemy without even raising a sword

783
00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:19,600
against them

784
00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:23,760
uh years later when carl von klonzewicz

785
00:29:28,389 --> 00:29:26,799
wrote his seminal book on war it's not

786
00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:28,399
an easy book to read but

787
00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:30,080
uh officers that go through the war

788
00:29:35,269 --> 00:29:31,840
colleges study it

789
00:29:36,549 --> 00:29:35,279
he talked about two factors uh that were

790
00:29:39,190 --> 00:29:36,559
critical the physical

791
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:39,200
and the moral the physical is our

792
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:41,360
technology our tanks our airplanes that

793
00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:42,320
sort of thing

794
00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:45,520
the moral is the spirit what's in the

795
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:46,399
heart

796
00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:49,840
the unit the the unity the

797
00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:52,880
camaraderie the esprit de corps and he

798
00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:54,000
said the moral is

799
00:29:57,269 --> 00:29:56,480
three times more powerful than the

800
00:29:58,789 --> 00:29:57,279
physical

801
00:30:01,029 --> 00:29:58,799
so it doesn't matter how well equipped

802
00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:01,039
you are you could have superior

803
00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:03,360
assets and that sort of thing but if if

804
00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:04,159
you don't have

805
00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:08,399
the uh the moral uh character it

806
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:11,360
it could be it's totally disruptive

807
00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:12,720
that's how you defeat the enemy

808
00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:16,080
you defeat them morally well and and

809
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:18,080
i think that there's two ways that this

810
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:20,080
is um

811
00:30:25,430 --> 00:30:23,760
demoralizing to the military one is

812
00:30:27,669 --> 00:30:25,440
this great country that you thought that

813
00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:27,679
you were defending and so proud of and

814
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,159
uh and wanted to defend like the guys

815
00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:32,320
who joined after 9 11.

816
00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:33,760
not to mention lots of other prior

817
00:30:39,830 --> 00:30:36,480
generations um

818
00:30:40,950 --> 00:30:39,840
if you're fighting for a racist country

819
00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:40,960
or a

820
00:30:46,230 --> 00:30:43,760
bad country etc then that's demoralizing

821
00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:46,240
you're not as excited to go fight for it

822
00:30:49,669 --> 00:30:48,960
and also personally demoralizing is if

823
00:30:52,789 --> 00:30:49,679
you see

824
00:30:54,549 --> 00:30:52,799
that the way to to climb up the ranks in

825
00:30:56,870 --> 00:30:54,559
the military is not

826
00:30:58,950 --> 00:30:56,880
based on your personal achievement and

827
00:31:01,110 --> 00:30:58,960
how hard you work and how exceptional

828
00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:01,120
you are that it's instead based on other

829
00:31:05,669 --> 00:31:02,640
factors like the color of your skin

830
00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:05,679
or your gender that's very demoralizing

831
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:09,600
exactly yeah it's and divisive

832
00:31:13,110 --> 00:31:11,760
so you know general bishop likes to tell

833
00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:13,120
the story that you know when he flew

834
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:14,559
into combat

835
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:16,960
uh he never paid attention whether his

836
00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:18,720
co-pilot or the flight engineer or the

837
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:20,080
load master

838
00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,240
uh we're white or black it's uh

839
00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:26,000
you know they're part of the team they

840
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:27,760
train together

841
00:31:32,789 --> 00:31:30,880
um yeah and you know what what i've

842
00:31:34,710 --> 00:31:32,799
been saying of late is with this black

843
00:31:36,149 --> 00:31:34,720
lives matter we didn't then catch up to

844
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:36,159
the george floyd situation

845
00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:39,200
but you know it really obviously rose to

846
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:40,880
a pinnacle with the george floyd

847
00:31:48,549 --> 00:31:44,880
situation and all of this focus on race

848
00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,559
race race race putting in your head now

849
00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:50,320
if i'm walking down the street and a

850
00:31:52,789 --> 00:31:51,600
black person's coming to me you know

851
00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:52,799
what i think

852
00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:54,960
i think black person i never see black

853
00:31:58,630 --> 00:31:55,919
person before

854
00:31:59,029 --> 00:31:58,640
i see a person i don't pay attention to

855
00:32:01,269 --> 00:31:59,039
to

856
00:32:02,950 --> 00:32:01,279
somebody's race but these people are

857
00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:02,960
just obsessed

858
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:05,039
with race and you know it goes without

859
00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:06,320
saying that they're they're the real

860
00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:08,640
racists that are so obsessed with with

861
00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:11,039
the color of skin as opposed to content

862
00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:11,919
of character

863
00:32:16,549 --> 00:32:14,559
but the point of my little anecdote is

864
00:32:19,750 --> 00:32:16,559
is that it's having obviously the exact

865
00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:19,760
opposite effect of you know bringing

866
00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:20,559
people together

867
00:32:25,190 --> 00:32:23,039
it's dividing but that is their goal

868
00:32:27,190 --> 00:32:25,200
their goal is to divide

869
00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:27,200
they want to put this wedge between

870
00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:28,399
white black people i mean white and

871
00:32:33,509 --> 00:32:30,880
black people get along

872
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:33,519
lovingly you know we all go to games

873
00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:34,880
together we'll do all kinds of things

874
00:32:41,190 --> 00:32:40,630
races are as mixed today as ever before

875
00:32:44,549 --> 00:32:41,200
i mean

876
00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:44,559
we could be in a post-racial world

877
00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:46,240
thanks to obama

878
00:32:49,430 --> 00:32:48,240
thanks to all the mixed race that's out

879
00:32:53,110 --> 00:32:49,440
there now

880
00:32:54,830 --> 00:32:53,120
but for this continuing to harp on this

881
00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:54,840
to what end it's not doing the black

882
00:32:59,509 --> 00:32:56,399
community any

883
00:33:00,870 --> 00:32:59,519
any good you know i mean police

884
00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:00,880
brutality

885
00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:04,240
is probably 20th on the list

886
00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:07,679
of issues facing the black community but

887
00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:10,240
they focus on that because it's divisive

888
00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:10,960
well and

889
00:33:18,149 --> 00:33:14,399
what disappoints me is when you look at

890
00:33:21,909 --> 00:33:18,159
our inner cities that's where all the

891
00:33:24,310 --> 00:33:21,919
the homicides are taking place and

892
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:24,320
it's been like that for decades you know

893
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:25,600
and so

894
00:33:28,870 --> 00:33:28,320
the same people that are pushing all

895
00:33:31,909 --> 00:33:28,880
this

896
00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:31,919
uh ideology

897
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:33,760
don't want to even look at the inner

898
00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:34,960
cities and

899
00:33:38,789 --> 00:33:37,519
what's happening there i mean that's

900
00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:38,799
that's the injustice

901
00:33:47,590 --> 00:33:42,880
yeah in my opinion so how do we take

902
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:47,600
this low-mire situation and turn it into

903
00:33:51,269 --> 00:33:50,080
um some type of movement that actually

904
00:33:55,350 --> 00:33:51,279
turns things

905
00:33:58,549 --> 00:33:55,360
the other way educating

906
00:34:00,549 --> 00:33:58,559
programs like your your show here uh

907
00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:00,559
getting the word out that

908
00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:04,640
you know this critical race theory is

909
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:08,399
is dangerous and so educating

910
00:34:13,990 --> 00:34:11,520
the public uh but also

911
00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:14,000
uh taking on people that are doing

912
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:14,960
things that are

913
00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:18,800
deceptive or illegal

914
00:34:22,149 --> 00:34:21,440
and to seek justice you know truth and

915
00:34:25,270 --> 00:34:22,159
justice

916
00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:25,280
to me are the two watch words here so

917
00:34:28,869 --> 00:34:27,040
uh like working with the academy they

918
00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:28,879
have a diversity and inclusion reading

919
00:34:31,510 --> 00:34:29,679
room

920
00:34:34,389 --> 00:34:31,520
and so we looked at the titles of the

921
00:34:37,589 --> 00:34:34,399
materials there and it's all very

922
00:34:39,589 --> 00:34:37,599
uh um anti-white

923
00:34:41,109 --> 00:34:39,599
that you know the blacks are still

924
00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:41,119
oppressed and whatever

925
00:34:44,629 --> 00:34:43,200
so we offered a whole list of books to

926
00:34:47,030 --> 00:34:44,639
complement what they have

927
00:34:49,270 --> 00:34:47,040
in the library you know we don't want to

928
00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:49,280
censor candy and

929
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:52,079
and d'angelo and her white fragility uh

930
00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:53,760
stuff that she's putting out there

931
00:34:57,910 --> 00:34:55,679
but we think people ought to be exposed

932
00:34:59,910 --> 00:34:57,920
to alternative viewpoints on this

933
00:35:02,069 --> 00:34:59,920
and let them weigh the the merits of the

934
00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:02,079
arguments and the evidence

935
00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:05,440
uh and how did that go well

936
00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:08,560
it the superintendent was receptive

937
00:35:12,710 --> 00:35:10,720
uh general bishop's been very good uh

938
00:35:14,710 --> 00:35:12,720
working with the superintendent

939
00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:14,720
realizing that that this is really not

940
00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:16,400
his issue uh

941
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:19,359
or many of the the leaders in the

942
00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:20,880
military that it's really more a

943
00:35:24,230 --> 00:35:23,040
political issue that's being imposed

944
00:35:27,910 --> 00:35:24,240
upon

945
00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:27,920
the military and so that's where he's

946
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:31,200
kind of keeping us cautious in terms of

947
00:35:35,190 --> 00:35:32,640
being very careful about

948
00:35:36,310 --> 00:35:35,200
how we approach our concerns about these

949
00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:36,320
issues

950
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:37,920
uh but for instance the reading room

951
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:39,680
thing you you guys recommended some

952
00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:40,240
additional

953
00:35:43,829 --> 00:35:41,839
readings to be put in the reading room

954
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:43,839
and where they put in the reading room

955
00:35:47,430 --> 00:35:44,720
not yet

956
00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:47,440
so and and what about let's go back to

957
00:35:49,750 --> 00:35:48,480
the video because my

958
00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:49,760
listeners probably want an update on

959
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:51,040
that since we've covered that in the

960
00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:51,760
past

961
00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:54,960
so um you guys worked very hard with the

962
00:35:58,550 --> 00:35:56,000
superintendent

963
00:36:00,390 --> 00:35:58,560
and he you guys reached an agreement

964
00:36:03,190 --> 00:36:00,400
where he was going to take down

965
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:03,200
the video by the football team that

966
00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:05,040
showed support for black lives matter

967
00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:06,960
and said a lot of the black lives matter

968
00:36:09,990 --> 00:36:08,800
rhetoric and so on

969
00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:10,000
was going to take that down and replace

970
00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:12,320
it with a new video so where does that

971
00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:13,760
stand

972
00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:16,000
a new video is out and they did take

973
00:36:21,270 --> 00:36:18,560
down the old video when that happened

974
00:36:24,470 --> 00:36:21,280
the new video is more positive it's uh

975
00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:24,480
about dignity and respect

976
00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:26,720
which was a huge improvement over the

977
00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:28,160
the previous one

978
00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:32,079
but what i point out to our inner circle

979
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:35,440
uh it still uses what's called esopian

980
00:36:39,589 --> 00:36:37,680
language in other words it looks

981
00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:39,599
positive and

982
00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:42,720
good on the surface but the predicate

983
00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:43,200
for it

984
00:36:50,950 --> 00:36:47,839
is still a concern for instance

985
00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:50,960
dignity and respect is not the whole

986
00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:52,160
purpose for the academy

987
00:36:55,990 --> 00:36:54,000
the purpose of the academy is to produce

988
00:36:56,950 --> 00:36:56,000
warriors to fight and win our nation's

989
00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:56,960
wars

990
00:37:01,430 --> 00:36:59,839
yeah we learn team teamwork and team

991
00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:01,440
building that sort of thing

992
00:37:06,069 --> 00:37:03,599
through dignity and respect but guess

993
00:37:08,470 --> 00:37:06,079
what respect is earned

994
00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:08,480
you know it's not an expectation uh and

995
00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:09,440
so i mean there's

996
00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:12,480
there are a lot of uh

997
00:37:17,349 --> 00:37:15,280
unspoken messages that underwrite the

998
00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:17,359
the need for such a video

999
00:37:23,430 --> 00:37:20,640
and so i i i hate to say that because

1000
00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:23,440
comparatively it's a vast improvement

1001
00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:24,000
over the

1002
00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:26,400
the previous one but how can people see

1003
00:37:36,550 --> 00:37:33,430
yeah that's a good question uh

1004
00:37:39,750 --> 00:37:36,560
the you could google it it's on youtube

1005
00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:39,760
uh yeah us air force

1006
00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:43,520
uh usafa dignity and respect

1007
00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:45,200
and those those are the buzzwords that

1008
00:37:49,990 --> 00:37:47,359
they were using as dignity and respect

1009
00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:50,000
right what about diversity inclusion and

1010
00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:50,880
equity

1011
00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:52,720
not yet but i'll tell you that really

1012
00:37:59,349 --> 00:37:55,440
began back in 2011

1013
00:38:01,670 --> 00:37:59,359
based on an executive order uh placing

1014
00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:01,680
diversity and inclusion officers across

1015
00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:03,280
the federal government

1016
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:05,119
and then it became codified in the

1017
00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:07,599
national defense authorization act

1018
00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:10,720
and so you know we were taking a look at

1019
00:38:16,829 --> 00:38:11,440
some of the stuff

1020
00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:20,150
the yeah these diversity

1021
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:22,960
equity and inclusion officers now across

1022
00:38:27,510 --> 00:38:24,400
the federal agency to include

1023
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:27,520
the military departments and if if you

1024
00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:28,320
recall

1025
00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:29,680
the secretary of defense has just

1026
00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:32,480
recently hired an individual

1027
00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,400
to be the chief diversity and inclusion

1028
00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:36,960
officer and his background is contra

1029
00:38:41,349 --> 00:38:39,680
controversial uh he's got tweets out

1030
00:38:43,430 --> 00:38:41,359
there that uh

1031
00:38:45,349 --> 00:38:43,440
that indicate that he really comes

1032
00:38:47,030 --> 00:38:45,359
across as an extremist

1033
00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:47,040
and he's going to be in charge of this

1034
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:49,440
program our concern is it's really more

1035
00:38:55,109 --> 00:38:51,760
of an enforcement mechanism

1036
00:38:56,870 --> 00:38:55,119
to comply with an ideology that if you

1037
00:38:58,470 --> 00:38:56,880
speak out against it like lieutenant

1038
00:39:01,670 --> 00:38:58,480
colonel lowe meyer

1039
00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:01,680
we're going to punish you so

1040
00:39:04,870 --> 00:39:03,359
so a lot of these dynamics are at play

1041
00:39:09,109 --> 00:39:04,880
right now

1042
00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:09,119
so um and that's what's leading to

1043
00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:10,480
things like affirmative action being

1044
00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,320
practiced in the military

1045
00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:14,640
are there any court cases that you're

1046
00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:16,960
aware of i still have this

1047
00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:18,960
uh naive view i guess that the

1048
00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:20,640
constitution and the equal protection

1049
00:39:23,109 --> 00:39:21,440
clause

1050
00:39:24,870 --> 00:39:23,119
prohibits the federal government from

1051
00:39:25,829 --> 00:39:24,880
discriminating against people based on

1052
00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:25,839
their race

1053
00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:29,599
even though it happens all the time

1054
00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:31,440
but i don't think that it's

1055
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:33,119
constitutional

1056
00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:34,560
and i'm just wondering you happen to

1057
00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:37,200
know are there is anybody suing over

1058
00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:39,119
this

1059
00:39:45,910 --> 00:39:42,720
not yet but

1060
00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:45,920
um privy to some discussions where i uh

1061
00:39:49,910 --> 00:39:46,720
these

1062
00:39:51,910 --> 00:39:49,920
that question is being calculated

1063
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:51,920
i think that's really what's what's

1064
00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:53,280
needed um

1065
00:39:57,190 --> 00:39:55,119
you know somebody passed over for a

1066
00:39:58,150 --> 00:39:57,200
promotion especially in the military

1067
00:40:00,310 --> 00:39:58,160
where

1068
00:40:02,390 --> 00:40:00,320
they keep pretty good record of your

1069
00:40:03,750 --> 00:40:02,400
obviously your seniority and your rank

1070
00:40:06,069 --> 00:40:03,760
and your accomplishments

1071
00:40:07,910 --> 00:40:06,079
and this that and the other so it's it's

1072
00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:07,920
fairly objective when you

1073
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:11,040
measure two people for a promotion and

1074
00:40:15,510 --> 00:40:11,920
be able to see that

1075
00:40:19,589 --> 00:40:15,520
somebody clearly was not as qualified

1076
00:40:21,030 --> 00:40:19,599
for a promotion well jim i i would defer

1077
00:40:22,630 --> 00:40:21,040
i mean that's a great question that you

1078
00:40:25,109 --> 00:40:22,640
asked i would defer to our

1079
00:40:26,710 --> 00:40:25,119
vice president for legal affairs mike

1080
00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:26,720
rose

1081
00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:30,400
mike is a 69 graduate from the air force

1082
00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:31,920
academy

1083
00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:33,920
mike was responsible for removing the

1084
00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:36,640
silence tradition at west point

1085
00:40:40,309 --> 00:40:38,000
are you familiar with the silence

1086
00:40:40,870 --> 00:40:40,319
tradition yes yes and we've talked about

1087
00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:40,880
it on this

1088
00:40:49,109 --> 00:40:45,760
uh show i think but um yeah it was

1089
00:40:51,109 --> 00:40:49,119
wasn't it considered somewhat uh racist

1090
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:51,119
at the time or racial

1091
00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:53,760
totally racial in fact benjamin o davis

1092
00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:55,680
who commanded the tuskegee airmen during

1093
00:40:59,109 --> 00:40:57,200
the second world war

1094
00:41:01,030 --> 00:40:59,119
spent his entire four years at west

1095
00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:01,040
point silenced

1096
00:41:04,550 --> 00:41:03,599
sat at a table by himself in the dining

1097
00:41:06,710 --> 00:41:04,560
hall

1098
00:41:07,589 --> 00:41:06,720
was not allowed to have a roommate and

1099
00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:07,599
was pretty much

1100
00:41:11,829 --> 00:41:10,160
uh ostracized the whole four years but

1101
00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:11,839
mike rose was responsible for getting

1102
00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:12,160
that

1103
00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:16,560
think it's it's

1104
00:41:21,349 --> 00:41:19,680
we should point out obviously that there

1105
00:41:23,270 --> 00:41:21,359
has been past discrimination

1106
00:41:25,990 --> 00:41:23,280
in in the military right i mean there's

1107
00:41:29,270 --> 00:41:26,000
uh you know you didn't have integrated

1108
00:41:32,710 --> 00:41:29,280
uh platoons until about what year

1109
00:41:33,270 --> 00:41:32,720
1947 truly directed that we would

1110
00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:33,280
integrate

1111
00:41:41,349 --> 00:41:37,760
our uh forces okay 1947. so

1112
00:41:43,430 --> 00:41:41,359
um that's terrible and and there was

1113
00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:43,440
tons of similar type laws in america you

1114
00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:45,440
know through 1947

1115
00:41:49,309 --> 00:41:47,440
but i think we should also recognize

1116
00:41:52,230 --> 00:41:49,319
that that is now

1117
00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:52,240
74 uh years ago

1118
00:41:56,069 --> 00:41:55,680
correct 74 years ago that the military

1119
00:41:59,510 --> 00:41:56,079
was

1120
00:42:02,870 --> 00:41:59,520
women

1121
00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:02,880
at west point when did that happen

1122
00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:05,920
around 1976

1123
00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:07,280
and that happened with all the service

1124
00:42:12,950 --> 00:42:09,760
academies so my graduating class

1125
00:42:14,470 --> 00:42:12,960
at the academy was all male 1 so you

1126
00:42:16,710 --> 00:42:14,480
know if you're

1127
00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:16,720
if you're a believer that you know

1128
00:42:21,750 --> 00:42:18,640
discrimination that happened

1129
00:42:23,190 --> 00:42:21,760
back in the 40s against blacks is still

1130
00:42:26,069 --> 00:42:23,200
having its effect today

1131
00:42:27,510 --> 00:42:26,079
and and we need uh and though and the

1132
00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:27,520
way to correct it

1133
00:42:34,550 --> 00:42:30,960
is discriminating now against whites

1134
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:34,560
in favor of blacks because 80 years ago

1135
00:42:37,829 --> 00:42:36,400
it was done the opposite way

1136
00:42:40,150 --> 00:42:37,839
right if you think that's the right

1137
00:42:40,710 --> 00:42:40,160
solution then you know god bless you i

1138
00:42:42,150 --> 00:42:40,720
mean

1139
00:42:43,990 --> 00:42:42,160
i think it's been proven again again

1140
00:42:45,750 --> 00:42:44,000
that that's not the right

1141
00:42:47,430 --> 00:42:45,760
solution to to discriminate against

1142
00:42:48,790 --> 00:42:47,440
today's generation based on

1143
00:42:51,510 --> 00:42:48,800
discrimination that happened

1144
00:42:53,349 --> 00:42:51,520
five generations ago well in fact george

1145
00:42:58,150 --> 00:42:53,359
orwell wrote a book

1146
00:42:58,470 --> 00:42:58,160
with that theme called animal farm i

1147
00:43:00,950 --> 00:42:58,480
mean

1148
00:43:01,829 --> 00:43:00,960
in the end you know they ended up with

1149
00:43:03,990 --> 00:43:01,839
one commandment

1150
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:04,000
all animals are created equal some are

1151
00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:06,160
more equal than others

1152
00:43:13,030 --> 00:43:09,760
yeah i mean it's a fascinating uh satire

1153
00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:13,040
on what was going on in marxist

1154
00:43:16,390 --> 00:43:15,760
parts of the world and uh and we're

1155
00:43:19,270 --> 00:43:16,400
seeing it

1156
00:43:19,990 --> 00:43:19,280
play out in america on in softer tones

1157
00:43:23,349 --> 00:43:20,000
but

1158
00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:23,359
it's still it's playing out yeah

1159
00:43:26,790 --> 00:43:26,240
um yeah if affirmative action worked we

1160
00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:26,800
would have

1161
00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:28,640
seen its benefits by now because it

1162
00:43:31,349 --> 00:43:30,400
certainly has been practiced in plenty

1163
00:43:34,790 --> 00:43:31,359
of places

1164
00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:34,800
uh including schools and you know just

1165
00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:37,200
trying to change things at the end you

1166
00:43:40,630 --> 00:43:38,560
need to go to the root

1167
00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:40,640
problem i mean it it's it's does such a

1168
00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:41,680
disservice to the

1169
00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:44,319
to the individual you simply say that

1170
00:43:46,470 --> 00:43:44,800
well

1171
00:43:47,910 --> 00:43:46,480
as long as we wind up with the same

1172
00:43:49,589 --> 00:43:47,920
percentage

1173
00:43:51,750 --> 00:43:49,599
of let's say blacks whatever group you

1174
00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:51,760
get the same percentage

1175
00:43:56,790 --> 00:43:54,880
at the end then who cares if they're not

1176
00:43:59,190 --> 00:43:56,800
getting the proper preparation

1177
00:44:01,750 --> 00:43:59,200
they're not getting proper schooling the

1178
00:44:02,630 --> 00:44:01,760
home situation and family situation is

1179
00:44:06,230 --> 00:44:02,640
poor

1180
00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:06,240
uh the um mental um

1181
00:44:11,589 --> 00:44:09,359
health is is poor um

1182
00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:11,599
they're the gang situations that are all

1183
00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:13,440
the problems

1184
00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:16,319
in in being raised in these communities

1185
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:18,160
that that makes it challenging

1186
00:44:21,430 --> 00:44:19,760
oh as long as we just change the numbers

1187
00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:21,440
at the end then who cares that's what

1188
00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:22,800
affirmative action

1189
00:44:26,710 --> 00:44:25,839
does it it allows you to sorry i'll say

1190
00:44:28,470 --> 00:44:26,720
one other

1191
00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:28,480
comment about because when california

1192
00:44:32,790 --> 00:44:30,640
got rid of affirmative action

1193
00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:32,800
ucla law school and there's tons of

1194
00:44:35,430 --> 00:44:34,079
examples of this this is just the one i

1195
00:44:36,309 --> 00:44:35,440
happen to remember and i'll ballpark it

1196
00:44:39,270 --> 00:44:36,319
for you but

1197
00:44:41,349 --> 00:44:39,280
of the 350 students that would be in the

1198
00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:41,359
entering class

1199
00:44:47,910 --> 00:44:44,720
at ucla law school it'd be approximately

1200
00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:47,920
80 blacks this is

1201
00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:50,000
with affirmative action when they when

1202
00:44:55,589 --> 00:44:52,240
it was outlawed 15 years ago

1203
00:44:57,190 --> 00:44:55,599
the number was went down to two now

1204
00:44:59,349 --> 00:44:57,200
i don't remember the exact numbers but

1205
00:45:02,790 --> 00:44:59,359
my ballparks are close enough

1206
00:45:03,589 --> 00:45:02,800
it was staggering what the number went

1207
00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:03,599
down to

1208
00:45:08,550 --> 00:45:06,640
so you were masking

1209
00:45:10,309 --> 00:45:08,560
real legitimate important issues that

1210
00:45:11,829 --> 00:45:10,319
need to be dealt with

1211
00:45:13,430 --> 00:45:11,839
by simply making sure that the numbers

1212
00:45:15,670 --> 00:45:13,440
at the end work out

1213
00:45:17,190 --> 00:45:15,680
the same when you pull away the mask of

1214
00:45:20,230 --> 00:45:17,200
affirmative action you see

1215
00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:20,240
what is going on that only two african

1216
00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:21,280
americans

1217
00:45:26,870 --> 00:45:24,720
are qualifying for ucla law school

1218
00:45:28,150 --> 00:45:26,880
then your eyes are wide open that we've

1219
00:45:29,589 --> 00:45:28,160
got a real problem in the black

1220
00:45:30,150 --> 00:45:29,599
community and we need to figure out what

1221
00:45:33,910 --> 00:45:30,160
that is

1222
00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:33,920
and do something about it exactly

1223
00:45:38,710 --> 00:45:37,040
well you probably had statistics

1224
00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:38,720
and you are familiar with the term

1225
00:45:47,829 --> 00:45:45,670
so you've got all kinds of data and

1226
00:45:50,230 --> 00:45:47,839
the the mean the average of it now

1227
00:45:52,230 --> 00:45:50,240
you've got data above it data below it

1228
00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:52,240
regressing to the mean talks about

1229
00:45:56,950 --> 00:45:54,319
pulling these things to the mean

1230
00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:56,960
so now everybody is on the mean but what

1231
00:45:59,430 --> 00:45:58,720
happens in real life is that mean gets

1232
00:46:06,630 --> 00:45:59,440
lower

1233
00:46:09,910 --> 00:46:06,640
has written about this he's got

1234
00:46:13,030 --> 00:46:09,920
a book that came out 1993

1235
00:46:16,230 --> 00:46:13,040
called inside american education

1236
00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:16,240
the decline the deception the dogmas it

1237
00:46:19,670 --> 00:46:16,720
is

1238
00:46:21,030 --> 00:46:19,680
a very damning book about our

1239
00:46:24,390 --> 00:46:21,040
educational system

1240
00:46:26,309 --> 00:46:24,400
in america that was 1993 and because of

1241
00:46:27,589 --> 00:46:26,319
that we are in the situation we are in

1242
00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:27,599
today

1243
00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:30,480
uh black black economist from stanford

1244
00:46:34,550 --> 00:46:31,920
right

1245
00:46:37,349 --> 00:46:34,560
exactly hoover institute uh he's got

1246
00:46:40,150 --> 00:46:37,359
books out intellectuals and race

1247
00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:40,160
discrimination and disparities and and

1248
00:46:44,309 --> 00:46:40,720
these are

1249
00:46:47,109 --> 00:46:44,319
not just opinion uh pieces

1250
00:46:49,030 --> 00:46:47,119
it's very heavily documented uh with

1251
00:46:51,270 --> 00:46:49,040
citations to studies

1252
00:46:52,950 --> 00:46:51,280
uh analysis that has been conducted over

1253
00:46:56,069 --> 00:46:52,960
time and whatever

1254
00:46:59,589 --> 00:46:56,079
and so you know this is this

1255
00:47:02,230 --> 00:46:59,599
in my opinion is why america was ripe

1256
00:47:03,910 --> 00:47:02,240
to be infiltrated by an ideology like

1257
00:47:06,309 --> 00:47:03,920
critical race theory

1258
00:47:07,270 --> 00:47:06,319
uh we haven't been prepared to think

1259
00:47:10,309 --> 00:47:07,280
critically

1260
00:47:11,829 --> 00:47:10,319
and to mimic so yeah

1261
00:47:13,670 --> 00:47:11,839
well and you know you've got the the

1262
00:47:15,270 --> 00:47:13,680
slavery pass that everybody feels guilty

1263
00:47:19,030 --> 00:47:15,280
about that's easy to

1264
00:47:20,710 --> 00:47:19,040
to play on um but yeah it's it's racist

1265
00:47:22,710 --> 00:47:20,720
in and of itself because it's basically

1266
00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:22,720
telling the black community that you are

1267
00:47:27,910 --> 00:47:25,200
incapable of succeeding you you need

1268
00:47:29,589 --> 00:47:27,920
the you need government slash white

1269
00:47:33,270 --> 00:47:29,599
people

1270
00:47:34,150 --> 00:47:33,280
order for you to to change in order for

1271
00:47:35,589 --> 00:47:34,160
you to succeed

1272
00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:35,599
or you need the government to do

1273
00:47:40,870 --> 00:47:37,680
something in order for you to succeed

1274
00:47:43,030 --> 00:47:40,880
when in fact the tools are right

1275
00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:43,040
in front of the the there's absolutely

1276
00:47:45,750 --> 00:47:44,720
nothing in the way of anyone in the

1277
00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:45,760
black community

1278
00:47:49,510 --> 00:47:47,200
from succeeding on their own they don't

1279
00:47:51,349 --> 00:47:49,520
need white people to help them

1280
00:47:53,030 --> 00:47:51,359
they don't need the government to help

1281
00:47:55,190 --> 00:47:53,040
them they can do it

1282
00:47:56,630 --> 00:47:55,200
all on their own and it's right it's

1283
00:47:59,990 --> 00:47:56,640
racist to to suggest

1284
00:48:02,710 --> 00:48:00,000
that they cannot do it on their own

1285
00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:02,720
well why why is sorry why is this asian

1286
00:48:05,349 --> 00:48:03,760
community able to do

1287
00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:05,359
do it on its own why is this jewish

1288
00:48:07,589 --> 00:48:06,960
community able to do us on but the black

1289
00:48:09,829 --> 00:48:07,599
community

1290
00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:09,839
can't do it on its own you need whitey

1291
00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:10,640
or you need

1292
00:48:18,470 --> 00:48:15,440
government yep no

1293
00:48:21,589 --> 00:48:18,480
blacks have been used as instruments

1294
00:48:22,790 --> 00:48:21,599
by the political left in america an

1295
00:48:25,309 --> 00:48:22,800
individual by name of

1296
00:48:26,710 --> 00:48:25,319
manning johnson you can google

1297
00:48:28,470 --> 00:48:26,720
manningjohnson.org

1298
00:48:29,829 --> 00:48:28,480
it takes you to a website he does he's

1299
00:48:31,510 --> 00:48:29,839
not alive right now

1300
00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:31,520
but he was recruited by the communist

1301
00:48:36,790 --> 00:48:33,680
party and

1302
00:48:38,150 --> 00:48:36,800
he was sort of their front man to

1303
00:48:41,349 --> 00:48:38,160
agitate

1304
00:48:42,790 --> 00:48:41,359
the negroes in that era and when he saw

1305
00:48:44,069 --> 00:48:42,800
what was happening that they were being

1306
00:48:45,829 --> 00:48:44,079
manipulated

1307
00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:45,839
to agitate the blacks to make them feel

1308
00:48:50,630 --> 00:48:47,280
oppressed or whatever

1309
00:48:52,549 --> 00:48:50,640
and it was the communist uh

1310
00:48:54,390 --> 00:48:52,559
intellectuals that were going to take

1311
00:48:56,950 --> 00:48:54,400
care of him and he

1312
00:48:59,350 --> 00:48:56,960
he broke from the communist party bella

1313
00:49:01,190 --> 00:48:59,360
dodd has written a fabulous book called

1314
00:49:03,990 --> 00:49:01,200
[Music]

1315
00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:04,000
school of darkness she was recruited

1316
00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:05,599
into the communist party back in the

1317
00:49:09,190 --> 00:49:06,880
1930s

1318
00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:09,200
teaching at hunter college and then she

1319
00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:11,200
found out how evil it was and she tried

1320
00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:12,480
to break loose from it and they wouldn't

1321
00:49:14,950 --> 00:49:13,680
let her they said nobody leaves a

1322
00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:14,960
communist party

1323
00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:16,559
and then one day she gets a call from

1324
00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:18,240
the associated press

1325
00:49:22,230 --> 00:49:20,640
basically asking her some questions and

1326
00:49:23,190 --> 00:49:22,240
you know she didn't have a response the

1327
00:49:25,910 --> 00:49:23,200
next day

1328
00:49:27,030 --> 00:49:25,920
it was all spread in the new york papers

1329
00:49:28,549 --> 00:49:27,040
that she'd been expelled from the

1330
00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:28,559
communist party

1331
00:49:32,390 --> 00:49:30,480
so they've been in existence in america

1332
00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:32,400
since 1919

1333
00:49:38,549 --> 00:49:36,480
without a break you can go to cpusa.org

1334
00:49:39,589 --> 00:49:38,559
and and they're open they're hiding in

1335
00:49:43,109 --> 00:49:39,599
the open

1336
00:49:45,030 --> 00:49:43,119
uh in 2018 john bachtel

1337
00:49:46,549 --> 00:49:45,040
the chairman of the the american

1338
00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:46,559
communist party

1339
00:49:50,069 --> 00:49:49,200
published an article about their success

1340
00:49:56,950 --> 00:49:50,079
in

1341
00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:56,960
based on their 53 000 model 50 states

1342
00:50:01,030 --> 00:49:59,520
3 000 counties it's out there it's

1343
00:50:04,549 --> 00:50:01,040
hiding in the open

1344
00:50:05,829 --> 00:50:04,559
yeah but but back if you

1345
00:50:08,230 --> 00:50:05,839
if you get a chance if you haven't

1346
00:50:11,349 --> 00:50:08,240
already to interview bob woodson

1347
00:50:13,270 --> 00:50:11,359
from the woodson center bob marched with

1348
00:50:16,870 --> 00:50:13,280
