WEBVTT - Diversity 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:10.480 Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun. 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:17.720 On every Thursday, a magnificent Thursday, and we're gonna have 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:19.880 fun for the next three hours. 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:20.840 I give you my. 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:22.080 Word on that. 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:23.759 My goodness. 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.920 The questions came pouring in, and it's been. 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:27.520 Quite a week. 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.160 As we have the Chicago Bears are leaving Chicago. Why 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:37.519 people have questions about the DC water manager jd Vance 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.480 had a nice funny. We're gonna talk about everything from 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.760 the Olympic athletes hating America. Someone wants to know why 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.560 do people actually care about diversity? A couple guys struggling 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.000 with their daughters going a little Kooki and commie. All 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.440 that and so much more coming up tonight on the 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.440 world famous Jesse Kelly Show. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:58.920 I actually want to begin. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:05.280 With this one because it piggybacks nicely off a story 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.280 from yesterday, but it was about way more than just 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:09.800 DC and the Potomac. 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:10.759 The story. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.240 Maybe you missed yesterday, Maybe you've been out in the woods, 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.080 maybe you had your phone put down, and there's nothing 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.360 wrong with that. Remember, take breaks from politics when it 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.600 stresses you out, don't let it ruin your life. Even 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.720 this show, turn the radio off if it makes your 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.800 life worse come back in a week. There's a story 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.360 out that there's a bunch of rass sewage flowing into 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.360 the Potomac. When I say a bunch, I mean millions 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:34.720 of gallons a bunch. 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:35.880 That's a lot of poop. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.200 And when you have a disaster like that, with raw 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.160 sewage floating in front of the capital of our country, 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:51.120 people are going to start looking into why. People are 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.120 going to try to figure out, Okay, who's screwed up? 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:56.920 Someone screwed up. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.080 I'm looking out from the Kennedy Center and that's definitely 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:06.080 a third whose fault is that? And of course I 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.640 played yesterday the water manager. David Gaddis is his name. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.800 He took over the DC Water in both this was 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:16.360 his focus. 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.040 Whether it is a delay, whether. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.640 It is that I swear he sounds more masculine than that. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:23.560 This is David Gadison. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.080 You know, when I arrived at DC Water, this was 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.880 an organization that looked very similar to our to our 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.359 our industry. It was predominantly you know, white male at 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.560 the top. But this is a utility that's you know, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.359 more than seventy percent people of color work at this utility. 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.160 And I really believe. Uh and I still believe. And 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.600 it has been fantastic. The outcomes have been fantastic. But 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.320 the the people at the top, the executives, the chiefs 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.520 in that c suite, they should look like the employees 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.320 that they that they serve and that they work with. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.360 And the same thing with the community. And so my 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.520 executive team, you know, looks exactly like the community. It 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.160 looks like it looks like the the employees, the staff, 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:13.919 you know, be it people of color, women, men, And okay. 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.679 We fired all the white men. We hired a bunch 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.240 of black people and women and other sewage running into 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.280 the river. And somebody writes an email in and he says, Jesse, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.760 I was listening to the show, and something struck me 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.200 when you were talking about diversity in our country and jobs, 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.280 et cetera. Why do people think skin color is the 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.480 only kind of diversity that matters. I contend, as a 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.560 white guy from the Pacific Northwest that I have a 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.200 very different life experience and therefore outlook on the world 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.560 than a white guy who grew up in Mississippi or Appalachia. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.200 Different diversity of skin color is such a myopic way 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:56.440 to look at it. Okay, let's discuss this. Let's discuss tribalism, diversity, 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.720 and how that ends up getting translated into communism in destruction. 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:08.800 Let's talk about this first. Why why do men live 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:15.400 around each other mankind itself? Why have we ever gathered 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:21.320 and become a tribe, become a nation, become a city state? 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.279 Why not just be alone? 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.280 You know me, it's anti social Jesse, at least, that's 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.520 what Jewish producer Chris calls me. Anti social. I'm not Chris, 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.040 I'm not anti social. It's just that I hate when 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.040 people talk to me sometimes. That's totally different than me anyway. 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:45.120 But I still gather with friends, family members, neighbors. I 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.640 eat ice cream during the football game. Stop is sending 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:48.320 me these emails? 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.840 Anyway? Why do we live around each other? 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:57.800 What is the point? Well, even introverts like me, we 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:03.359 are made to live around each other and rely on 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:08.719 each other, living around others, being around others, coming together 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:09.400 as a group. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:10.000 Think of it. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.080 Honestly, the easiest way to think about our conversation now 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.679 is an Indian tribe. You know, I love Indian tribes. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.599 So just that we're the Cherokee, all right, why would 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.039 we come together why would we choose. Why not just 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.600 go live in a tpee by yourself, be totally peaceful, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.440 nobody bugging me up. Don't have to worry about smelling 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:35.840 my neighbor. Because of prosperity and protection. That's why human 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:41.240 beings choose to live together, and we all have throughout 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.520 the entire history of mankind on this planet. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.320 Adam was created, and five minutes later he said. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:52.479 God, I'm frigging lonely here, take a rimp, Give me 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:58.400 somebody something we need other people right by the way. 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.320 Please keep in mind I paraphraise that from Genesis. Lord, 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.440 do not strike me down. That is very much not 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.520 word for word anyway, you understand what I mean. We're 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:13.240 made to live around other people. To be tribal is 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:18.200 the most natural thing in the world. Human beings are 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:19.640 naturally tribal. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.320 We are now. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:26.440 That can be wonderful, it is inevitable, and it also 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.400 can be terrible. Being tribal does not have to be 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.720 about skin color or religion or or It does not 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:37.520 have to be that. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:42.200 There are many, many, many, many, many different forms of tribalism. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.159 When you are at a football game, when you show 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.800 up at a football game and eat ice cream and 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.000 you're wearing your New England Patriots jersey. You have a 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:57.240 kinship with other people around you wearing a New England 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.279 Patriots jersey. You don't know that guy, you don't know 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:00.880 that girl. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.560 They could be totally. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.560 Different from you, the total different walks of life. But 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:10.440 for three hours on Sunday, they are your tribe. And 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.240 so when the Patriots score a touchdown, you turn and 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:18.560 you're slaping high five and you're uguted who. Human beings 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:24.000 are tribal for a variety of reasons, and it is inevitable. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.480 We will tribe up. Now. 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.240 The problem with this is, and it can be a 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.880 huge problem if you allow it to be when you 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:43.520 are tribal, it can be used in extremely negative ways 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:53.000 by evil people, and being tribal inevitably will have you 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:59.880 defending terrible behavior. I brought up sports. I brought up 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:01.360 the New England Patriots. By the way, I have no 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.280 idea why I brought them up, but we'll just stick 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.840 with that. I brought up sports, the New England Patriots. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.000 If I posted a video today, I'm not a big 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.280 sports guy. I don't talk a lot about sports. I 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.640 mean I watch it, but not like I used to 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.560 be obsessed with it. But if I put up a 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.960 video today of a New England sports fan punching out 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:26.119 a Philadelphia Eagles fan after a game, and I said 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.920 something along the lines of these New England Patriot fans, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:35.560 what a bunch of dirt balls, violent dirt ball people, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.960 those New England Patriots fans. Do you know what the 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.679 responses would be from New England Patriots fans? And the 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.959 video could be horrible. It could be a man way 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.959 bigger than some other tiny dude walks up and sucker 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.880 punches him and knocks his lights out the New England 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.640 Patriot fan on video. He's in the wrong, no question, 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:04.760 And the responses from New England Patriots fans would be overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly, well, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.559 we don't have any contexts. Eagles fans are worse, They've 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.120 done so much worse than this. That guy probably provoked him. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:17.840 It would be overwhelming responses of defending the New England 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:25.640 Patriots fan, because why he's in my tribe. If I'm 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:30.280 a Cherokee and a band of young warriors, they go 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.559 raid the Sioux camp right next door, and they steal 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.600 a bunch of women and horses, and they do terrible things, 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.120 and they bring some of that booty. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:40.920 Back to camp. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.800 And they're called out for it. The Siouxs show up 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.240 and say, hey, he took my woman and my horse. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.040 Am I going to step up as a Cherokee and say, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.400 you know, he brings up a good point. You guys 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:02.599 did wrong. They give the give the horses back. Is 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:09.240 that going to be my natural inclination? No, I'm going 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.800 to be tribal in that moment, and I'm going to 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:18.440 defend something terrible, something I shouldn't defend. We'll continue on 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.360 this and how the Communists take advantage of this mentality. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.040 We'll continue on this in a moment. It is the 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:29.960 Jesse Kellicho on a magnificent Thursday, and ask doctor Jesse 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.000 Thursday opening up with a heavy topic, but a topic 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.400 that that's important that we dig into. 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.720 We're gonna talk about why why this obsession with diversity 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.400 and everything? But why this and that? 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.080 And we talked about tribalism, so let's expand on that 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.640 a little bit more. Human beings, by their very nature 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:47.400 are tribal. 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:48.559 I am you are. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.160 Everybody is does not have to be skin color or 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.160 sports team, or or. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:55.439 Even religion or something. 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.720 But human beings will seek out tribes because of the 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.040 and prosperity that comes with living around other people who 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.880 share your values. It's not even a bad thing to 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.640 be tribal. It's human. 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.800 It's the most human thing in the world. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:19.480 However, when you have a country like the United States 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:25.199 of America, there is something about us that is incredibly 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:31.040 wonderful but also incredibly dangerous. And here's what that something is. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.640 The United States of America is a place that is unique. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:40.120 You know, so many European countries, of African countries, Middle 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:41.720 Eastern countries, these places. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:43.240 It really was. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:48.240 A tribe that kind of expanded into a nation. That 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.240 kind of a thing. The United States of America. It 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:57.320 was founded by Christian people, founded by Christian people, but 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.040 they said early on. 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:02.640 There was no open borders or anything like that. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:07.360 But they said, if you want to be free, if 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.600 you want to be a free man, you can be 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:15.040 free here. You want to live under our laws, worship 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.559 God the way you want, you can be free here. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.400 We will not have a king. That's what we want 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.200 in the United States of America. And because of that 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.679 idea that brought in, think about I'm talking about the 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.800 early times in our country. That brought in all kinds 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.720 of people from all over the place, people who they 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.719 may have looked similar, but they weren't really similar. The 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.920 hordes of people from Ireland are totally different than hordes 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.640 of people from Germany, who are different than hordes of 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:47.640 people from Britain. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.559 Or they're different people. 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:54.120 Yet they were able to come together under the idea 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.840 that they wanted to be free. They wanted to be Americans. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.760 They didn't want to be German anymore. They didn't want 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.000 to be Irish anymore than if they wanted to be Americans. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.680 I came here because I wanted to be America. You'll 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.000 talk to people today, the good ones people are from 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.640 a lot of people from Vietnam like that. I'm an American. 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.120 Cubans that way, I'm an American. They don't describe themselves 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.120 as Cuban. I'm a freaking American. 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:17.320 Now. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.400 That's wonderful, But like most things in life that are wonderful, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:26.400 it can become terrible like that when you bring in 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.479 different peoples from different places. I'm from Germany, I'm from Nigeria, 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.480 I'm from Vietnam, I'm from Cuba, I'm from this, I'm 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:40.800 from that with the wrong influences, the wrong education, the 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:45.760 wrong leaders in their community. With a toxic mixture of 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:51.959 the wrong things, they can form up different tribes inside 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:57.080 your country, and then you have a nation at war 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:04.240 with itself. When people stopped seeing themselves as Americans, stopped 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.800 describing themselves as Americans, and everything had either a hyphen 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.720 to it or though this flat out say I'm a Mexican, 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:18.040 I'm gonna I'm an American, I'm a Cuban. That's bad, always, 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:23.400 always bad, and that creates an incredible opening for communists 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:28.920 to get involved and separate the society. The United States 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:33.560 of America. We defeated the Soviet Union, yes that is true. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:38.000 But here's what is also true, the demonic, divisive nature 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.560 of the communists. It did worm its way into our 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:47.560 country and started separating us by this or that by 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.640 various reasons. And one of the things the communists focused 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:56.520 on intently well documented is the quote civil rights movement 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.840 in the United States of America. We brought this up earlier, 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.360 especially because it's Black History Month. Rosa Parks was a 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:08.880 Communist activist. That was a stunt. It was a stunt 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.800 that the communists then put in the National Spotlight. By 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.200 the way, did you know this? They tried the stunt 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:19.240 once already and it worked, except the lady who pulled 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.040 it off was a single mother, and that was looked 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.800 down upon in America. So they thought, ah, she's not 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.120 the one, you know what, tosser and the back burner. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.880 Here's Rosa Parks. She looks like she wants to bake 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.800 you some chocolate chip cookies. Look at her glasses. That's 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:40.680 the one she spent all day on buses trying to 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.360 pull that stunt off. Did you know that she finally did? 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.360 And to this day, your kid learns that Rosa Parks 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:49.240 was some saint in school. The Communists found the civil 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:55.000 rights movement to be an absolute gold mine of divisiveness 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:55.880 in the country. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.400 That's a movement. We can dig into that right. 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:04.040 There, and we can use that to turn Americans against 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.680 other Americans. We can use that movement and we can 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.640 create a portion. It's not all, so don't convince yourself 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.040 that everyone's Jesse Jackson and now Sharpton, Okay, but we 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.280 can use that. This is how the communists thought, we 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.360 can use that to take a portion of the black 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.920 community in this country and tell them they're their own 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:28.920 tribe and everything should be for their tribe. And they'll 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.400 be against everyone who's not. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:31.320 In their tribe. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.920 And we'll even get a bunch of well to do 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.240 turn the other cheek white people. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.920 To support it. Yeah, you are your own tribe. You 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.600 should get everything. Guys. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.640 This hyper focus on this kind of disgusting diversity that's 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:53.240 killing us. It's just communism. It's tribalism turned evil. I'll 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.040 finish this this at a second hand. It is the 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.680 Jesse Kelly shell on a spicy Thursday. Remember, if you 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.080 want to pour the hate mail in here, if anything 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.640 I've said offends you, I don't care, but you are 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.800 welcome to email me about it and we'll laugh at 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.760 you on nationally probably Monday, as soon as we get 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.880 back Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com for your love, 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.399 your hate, your death threats here. 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:17.760 That's racist talk. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.040 Remember, none of that matters to me. It's not your 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.000 mommy's show, at your daddy show. We're telling you how 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:26.920 it is. Tribalism is natural. Tribalism can be wonderful. Tribalism 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.560 can turn incredibly evil, and so when it comes to 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:36.119 things like well just ridiculous, insane's frankly for being honest 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:37.880 racist statements like this. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.320 When I arrived at DC Water, this was an organization 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.679 that looked very similar to to our industry. It was 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.640 predominantly you know, white male at the top. But this 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.560 is a utility that's you know, more than seventy percent 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.600 people of color work at this utility. And I really believe, 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.040 and I still believe, and it has been fantastic, the 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:03.320 outcomes have been fantastic. But the people at the top, 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.879 the executives, the chiefs in that c suite, they should 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.120 look like the employees. 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.360 So he fired the white people. Another sewage spilling into 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:19.879 the river. Now here's the thing. Now, this is something 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:25.119 maybe you didn't think about. He made that statement a 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.280 long time ago. He didn't make that statement when the 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.520 sewage was spilling into the river. He made that statement 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.360 a long time ago, and it didn't cause any controversy. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.720 When's the last time you saw corporation brag about diversity? 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.800 The creuch Chris is laughing all the time, right, Well, 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:48.200 what is it? What does that mean when a corporation 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:49.639 is bragging about diversity? 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:50.399 What is it? 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:55.719 In practice? In the United States of America? Any corporation, 0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.520 any entity at all, bragging about diversity, its diversity efforts. 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.520 That is a corporation that is bragging about being racist 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.320 against white men. Because diversity never, ever, ever, ever, ever 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.720 means white men. It means fewer white men. Everyone knows 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:15.160 what I just said to be true. Now, I had 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.959 a guy on. He's actually a friend of mine. If 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:19.919 you've been listening for a long time and you have 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.919 the memory of a god, you'll remember who this is. 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.600 But I'm not going to name him because I like 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:29.399 him a lot. We're Friends's black dude. And when I 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:34.000 had him on, we were discussing the black national anthem 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:41.680 in sports, and obviously that's something I think is insane. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.480 The national anthem is for every American, black, white, no 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.919 matter your skin color, no matter what if you're an 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:53.480 American citizen, we have one national anthem. And this guy, 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.720 he was trying really hard to sell why it's good 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.000 to have a black national anthem, only he knew that 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.600 sounded kind of bad, and so what he said was 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.280 that it's just a worship song, to which I responded, 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.960 so why aren't they playing amazing Grace? And so I 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.520 was obvious he was kind of caught with that, and 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:17.399 I just flat out asked him. I asked him on 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.840 the air, let me ask you, do you feel like 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:27.720 black people should have their own separate national anthem? And 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.720 he just totally clammed up because the answer was yes, 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.080 and he knew if he answered it that way on 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:42.199 the air, it would look bad. That's incredibly unhealthy. That 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:47.760 is unhealthy for a country to divide itself tribally. When 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:52.760 you have people protesting in Los Angeles waving Mexican flags, 0:20:53.359 --> 0:21:01.080 that's insanely unhealthy for a country. Pride flags insanely unhealthy 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:05.520 for a country. I am introducing legislation to designate the 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:10.399 Pride flag as a congressionally authorized flag in America, and 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:11.440 that means it can be. 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:16.320 Flown here and everywhere else. No one, no one, no 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.680 one can take it down. Unhealthy. 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:27.439 A nation has to rally itself under one banner, or 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:31.880 it ceases to become a nation. What it becomes instead 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:37.480 is a dangerous place of tribal warfare. You know, we'll 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:39.800 go back to our Indian analogy before I move on 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.639 and discuss other things. It's fine if the Cherokee and 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.600 the Sioux they were the Lakota, but I'll just say 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:46.080 the Sioux. 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:46.840 It's fine. 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.400 If the Cherokee and the Sioux don't get along, even 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:52.040 go to war from time to time, that's fine. For 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:54.840 the most part. They're either going to push each each 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.040 other out of an area or they'll stay in their 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.440 own area. Hey, this is our own area. We're gonna 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.159 hunt and we'll do our thing here. And that's your area, 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.960 you hunting, you your own thing over there. But what 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.640 if I what if I were to gather them together 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.399 and plant them in the same village and put a 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.600 big fence around it and say, okay, guys live together. 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.400 Now, how's not gonna go. 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.800 I have described communism like this before, and it is, 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:28.320 in my opinion, the best analogy I've ever used. If 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:30.240 you ever go hiking in the Rocky Mountains, and I 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:31.840 hope you get the chance to do that one day, 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:33.760 I've done it many times in my life growing up 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:38.080 in Montana, you will see boulders the size of which 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:42.760 you never even knew existed, Boulders larger than a car, huge, 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:46.280 ones tons of them, and you will see you do 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.359 enough of it, you will come across a boulder the 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:55.080 size of a car split in two. Like God himself 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.159 came down with an axe and chopped it, because that's 0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:58.720 what it looks like it would take to split that 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:02.959 border in two. How could anything split a boulder that 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.320 large and strong in two? Well, you know what does it? 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:11.159 Boulders over time developed cracks. 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:13.080 That crack. 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.880 Eventually, whether being what it is, is going to get 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:22.880 water in it, rain, snow, melt off, and then one night, 0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:28.080 with water in that crack, it's going to freeze, and 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.000 that water is going to freeze, and even the biggest, 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:34.920 strongest boulder in the world, when that water expands, it's 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:39.160 going to split that boulder into Communism is the water. 0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:45.080 It finds the cracks in any society, wherever they may be. 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.960 You know, why did the communists, why did they find 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.720 the civil rights movement to be such such a such 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:54.080 a fertile ground for communism here because black people were 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.479 being mistreated in the United States of America and there 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.359 was understandable anger over there, and there was a lot 0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:03.920 of understand anger there, and the communists recognized. 0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:06.720 That's a crack. That's a crack, you see that, that's 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:07.600 a crack right there. 0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:11.720 Let's get in there, let's get in it, let's freeze it. 0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:13.080 Let's split it. 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:17.960 Now. You go board your delta flight, you can walk 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.320 down the jetway and look to your right, and you'll 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:25.920 see a corporate poster where they're bragging about how much 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:30.160
