1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Man yesterday. It was a really bad day for him,

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: and this is what he did. And so we are

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: in a state of emergency. Okay.

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: White supremacist violence, it is always has been the number

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: that my wife was white.

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: The practice club bitches all rich Ronny, Please tell me

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: why was I your donkey of the day.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: The way things are going, They're gonna sign an executive

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: order to make me change that intro soon. But Donkey

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: of today for Tuesday, February eighteenth goes to the US

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: Department of Education. Well, well, should I say Donald Trump's

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: US Department of Education. Now, if you haven't been paying

14
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: attention to what's going on in the world, because it

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: hasn't popped up on Shade Room just yet, let me

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: be the first to tell you that Donald Trump in

17
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: the Department of Education have decided to eliminate all race

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: based programs in schools.

19
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Okay, and they got fourteen days to get rid of it,

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: that's right.

21
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: The Department of Education plans to cut funding for initiatives

22
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: that address racial disparities in education. They will penalize schools

23
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: that consider race in scholarships, hiring.

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: And a bunch of other activities. Okay, they warned schools that.

25
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: They risk losing federal funding if they continue to take

26
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions.

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: Are so much as nodded to race.

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: In all of the aspects of student, academic and campus life. Oh,

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go

30
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: to the National Desker to report.

31
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: Police Doze's newest target diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: Department of Education, identifying seventy DEI training grants amounting to

33
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy three million dollars. According to Doze,

34
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: one such grant trained teachers to engage in self reflection

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: to confront their own biases and racism. This comes as

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 3: the Department of Education continues its crackdown on DEI programs

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: and policies in schools. On Friday, the acting Assistant Secretary

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: sent out a letter reminding institutions any discrimination based on race, color,

39
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: or national origin is illegal, adding institutions failing to comply

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: with federal civil rights law face potential loss of federal funding.

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: Critics to respond, what does this mean?

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: Are they going to take away funding from historically black colleges.

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 4: Are they going to take away funding from public schools

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: that have a Latino student union? To me, it indicates

45
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: just the fanatical obsession that this administration has in terms

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: of going against DEI.

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: This is America twenty twenty five.

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: You know, America's core values allegedly have always been liberty, equality.

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: And justice.

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: These values are supposed to be the foundation of American democracy.

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: But they aren't, okay, never have been.

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: It's liberty, equality, injustice for white men, and then there

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: is the rest of us, all right. In fact, the

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: only reason things like affirmative action exists is because government

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: needed a remedy for the effects of long standing discrimination

56
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: in this country. Now, somebody needs to explain to me

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: what's changed, Okay, In a country with systemic racism is

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: literally rooted in every institution, the solution is now to

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: pretend that racism and other forms of discrimination just lead

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: don't exist.

61
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Let's go back to.

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: Doing things the way they were being done before these

63
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: race based programs existed. So let's go back to doing

64
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: what caused us to have to come up with the

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: race based programs to begin with. This is all part

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: of a broader agenda to remove what they call wokeness

67
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: from American education. And look, I don't care for wokeness either. Okay,

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: I believe most woke people just simply need some sleep.

69
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: But the reality is wokeness and programs designed to level

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 2: the playing field for marginalized students are not the same. Okay,

71
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: you can't just scrip away those programs. That's like having

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: a leaky roof and you decided to fix that leaky

73
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: roof by removing the roof entirely. That would make no sense. Now,

74
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: this is also the latest step in the Trump administration's

75
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: move to reshape programs intended to make things equal for

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: historically underserved populations as a form of racial discrimination.

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Craig Trainer, who's.

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: The Education Department's Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, said,

79
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: related programs and scholarships, many of which have historically helped

80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: black and Latino students attained college degrees. Our fine community,

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: had come at the expense of white and Asian students,

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: many of whom come from disadvantage backgrounds. Now, let me

83
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: read to you a quote from Craig Trainer, because this

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: is interesting, he said, and I quote. At its core,

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: the test is simple. If an educational institution treats a

86
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: person of one race differently than it treats another person

87
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: because of that person's race, the educational institution.

88
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Violates the law. Well, god damn, how many.

89
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: Institutions of treating white people differently and giving them preferenceal.

90
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: Treatment over every other? Other?

91
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Trainer says put simply, educational institutions may neither separate

92
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: or segregate students based on race, nor distribute benefits. Are

93
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: burdens based on race. I could be wrong because I

94
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: am not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary.

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: But we got to these race based programs. We implemented

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: things like affirmative action to make sure that policies and

97
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: programs gave limited preferences to minorities and women, not just

98
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: institutions of higher education, with job hiring, awarding a government contract,

99
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: to other social benefits. They had to implement these things

100
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: because if they didn't, white privilege would rule everything around me.

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: Education is supposed to be the great equalizer, But how

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: can it be when the very programs aimed at uplifting

103
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: the underserved are being dismantled. Donald Trump and the Department

104
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: of Education are sending a very clear message and that

105
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: message is that few niggas right, they aren't interested in

106
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: addressing the real issues of inequality in our schools. Instead,

107
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: they would rather gaslight us, tell us we trip in

108
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: sweep to inequality under the rug, and then tell us

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: to act like we don't see the lump.

110
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: So all these colleges that offer.

111
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: Scholarships and grants specifically for students of certain ethnic backgrounds,

112
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: all that's just gone. Schools are just barred from using

113
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: race and decisions pretending to admissions and hiring and promotion, compensation,

114
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: financial aid, scholarships, prizes, administrative support, discipline, housing, graduation ceremonies,

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: and all the other aspects of student academic and campus life.

116
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: Who is going to be policing this?

117
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: Okay, what about America in twenty twenty five should make

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: any of us believe we can trust people to do

119
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: the right thing in regards to prejudice and discrimination, Because

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: if you ask me, what the Department of Education is

121
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: currently doing is indeed prejudice and discrimination. And you know

122
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: the main reason we should teach the true history of

123
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: America so we don't repeat all mistakes. Winston Churchill once

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: said those who fail to learn from history are doomed

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: to repeat it.

126
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: We have learned nothing, and so here we are.

127
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: Please let Kathy Griffin give the Department of Education the

128
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: biggest he hall.

129
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Please give this giant jar male the biggest he hall.
