Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Michael and Jacking. Mike, thank you so much,
mention that a lot of people know that, and a
lot of news that they don't even talk about it,
but you mentioned it, and.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Thank you so so much. Israeli Hill of the Date.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You too.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
So.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I find it fascinating the utter outrage they're they're they're
beside themselves. All these federal employees, not just federal employees, Uh,
Corporate America is succumbing to Trump's abolition of de I too.
Some willfully so, some gladly so, and some are kind
(00:52):
of resistant, but they're like, yeah, you know, it really
is kind of you know, de I really is racist,
and it's very core when you think about it, diversity,
equity and inclusion not opposed to diversity. I'm opposed to this.
You know, if you put diversity ahead of meritocracy, then
(01:13):
you are being racist. Well, anyway, all these former current
federal employees are angry, they're expressing outrage over the cessation
of diversity programs within these government agencies. You can go
to any number of Facebook groups and find all sorts
of posts about it and the discussions, primarily among individuals
(01:36):
that are associated with the National Park Service and Department
of Interior and others, don't Those are just two that
kind of stick out my mind. All these discussions reveal,
which I find funny, but these kind of deeply held
personal apprehensions about Trump's director to dismantle federal diversity equity inclusion,
(01:59):
and some have equated the move to historical periods of
intense scrutiny like McCarthyism. Now they've warned that they have
warned federal workers that they will be subject to disciplinary
actions if they resist the order. They've been issuing memos
(02:21):
with instructions to report any non compliance via a dedicated
email tipline. So a post from a Department of agg
employee shared this policy communication sent to agency staff, along
with the reporting email address and the Facebook group. And
so they compared the executive order to investigations into Communist
(02:44):
Party membership in the nineteen fifties. Now, when I read that,
I first thought, well, that's absurd, and then I thought,
maybe it's not absurd, because what was the Communist Party's
infiltration in the in the nineteen fifties? That alone? Today,
(03:06):
but what was the purpose? What it's always the purpose
of communism, whether it's the Chinese Communist Party, or it's
the Russian Communists they want to bring down America. Well,
what at the heart of THEI Well, it's really equity.
(03:27):
Like I know, diversity, equity, and inclusion, all such great
sounding words, right, they're also comforting all part of a community.
One of my other least favorite words. Equity is not
about equality. Equity is about everybody being the same. So
when they compared it to the McCarthyism and the Communist
(03:48):
Party investigations of the nineteen fifties, they might be right
in this sense. We're trying to weed out that which
is trying to destroy a man American character and American culture,
and it is a culture and a character of meritocracy.
You live and die by your abilities, and we shouldn't
(04:11):
set up these artificial measurements that then, you know, allow
you to take on a position that you really shouldn't
be taking on because you beat out somebody because you
haven't met the quota, or you do meet a quota
and somebody else's We got too many of that kind
of person. Whatever kind of identity politics you want to,
you want to attach to it. So one user commented
(04:33):
on the this this indication of constituty of constitutional duty
amid changes. Well, another like in the situation to an
era of these political witch hunts, suggesting figures like the
late Senator Joseph McCarthy would be approving of what's going
on today. Now, think about that, because the knee jerk
(04:56):
reaction is, oh, McCarthy bad.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I don't necessarily agree with McCarthy's tactics, but history has
proven McCarthy mostly correct about the communist threat within the
US federal government. Concerns extend beyond policy changes, because individuals
in these groups ponder, oh, there might be surveillance despite
(05:24):
their's assurances of privacy. So now the Department of Interior
has begun enforcing the policy, and communications among group members
advise you better be careful in navigating these directives.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, let's bring it to Colorado over on X.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
An account that goes by the National Association of Scholars
and John Saylor, who is from the Manhattan Institute, have
acquired a treasure trove of records from UC Boulder that
show how the entire university coordinated to advance a system
(06:14):
of race based hiring, and the documents that they have
produced they describe as astonishing I'd like to use the
word astonishing, except I think astonishing implies that there's an
element of surprise, and I'm not surprised by any of this.
(06:38):
The documents are, well, here's one. Our aim is specifically
to hire a black, Indigenous, or Latink's faculty member. That's
that's their state of goal. So they got the approved
(07:00):
successful proposals for the university's large scale diversity hiring program,
and they've got some examples. The College of Engineering and
Applied Science said that it's Cluster Higher had the goal
of quote doubling our underrepresented faculty in the college. It
reads this, this cluster guile, This cluster Higher has the
(07:25):
goal of doubling our underrepresented faculty in the college. According
to the Office of Data Analytics, the colleges of Engineering
have applied science employees, twelve tenure track faculty who self
identify as black or Hispanic, and none that identify as American, Indian,
Pacific Islander, or as two or more races. Therefore, should
(07:50):
the Provost Office support our college's cluster higher proposal, we
will match these lines and potentially double our diverse faculty
in the college at what costs hiring substandard professors hiring
professors that don't really belong to CU Boulder. That will
(08:14):
bring down the quality of teaching at the College of
Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Here's another example.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
The Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute proposed a specific candidate
who noted was quote an outstanding BIPOX scholar who would
increase the programs domestic faculty of color. They've redacted in
the receipts that they post. They redact the name, but
(08:45):
they say quote is an outstanding BIPOC scholar in physics
and material science and engineering has been a RACY affiliate
for seven years. Was a point of blank. Our proposed
hiring of Blank as associate full professor would increase racist
domestic faculty of color.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You're hiring based on color.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
There's nothing in the documents that indicates to me that
this particular individual somehow was way ahead of every other applicant,
just that they meant they were bipunked. Oh wow, okay,
Journalism Department of Journalism, our commitment. Let me just read
(09:33):
you the entire paragraph as opposed to it. You'll figure
out what the receipt is. The faculty in the Journalism
department understand that in our field, a person's professional credentials
and their life experiences in the.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Field maybe maybe.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
As informative and important as their academic credentials. Our commitment,
should we be successful with this application, is to hire
someone from the BIPOC community who can advance our programs
and who can support through mentoring and with research and
creative work resources so that they can be successful at
(10:10):
CU Boulder. So they recognize that, oh, yeah, they might
have good professional credentials, but oh, their life experiences are
as important as their academic credentials. What that really means
is their skin color is really as important as their
academic credentials, and in fact, the commitment to hire someone
(10:35):
from the BIPOC community becomes their overriding objective. Another example,
we have an urgent This is from the Department of
Ethnic Studies, of all places of ethnic studies, we have
an urgent and qualified need for BIPOC fam slash women
(10:57):
of color faculty. That's the very definition of identity politics. Oh,
we have an urgent need for someone who's bipocked fam
slash women of color. Wait a minute, there's no indication
anything about qualifications. Adding that the scholars should contribute to
(11:21):
a thematic cluster hire in racism and racial inequality. So
you have to have someone who meets all the identity
qualifications in order to hire this person. For the Institute
of Ethnic Studies at the U Boulder, the College of Media,
(11:43):
Communications and Informations, cluster hire emphasize hiring black, Indigenous Asian, American,
Latins and Pacific Islander faculty, but also note the disciplinary
focus again reading from the announces. Moreover, this cluster hire
(12:04):
bridges the imperative of diversity as it emphasizes hiring black,
Indigenous Asian American, Latinus and Pacific Islander faculty with the
campus commitment to inclusive excellence, so that comes first, accellently
(12:24):
comes second. So the Manhattan Institute put together a opinion
piece for the Wall Street Journal. Racial preferences go hand
in hand with ideological preferences. And then the Manhattan Institute
(12:46):
points out how a German studies scholar tuts how she's
both a woman of color, has expertise in anti racist
pedagoguy and decolonizing German studies. Decolonizing German studies. So here's
(13:06):
how this particular hire is described. One again, the names
reducted will bring teaching and research experience on Afro German culture,
the history of race, decolonizing German studies, Medieval German culture,
and anti racist pedagogy in German studies and humanities. The
Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures currently has
(13:28):
one faculty member of color in our TTT ranks and
no black faculty. Hiring a black faculty member with Blank
research interests, training and expertise would transform our research and
teaching profile. It's all about the appearances. Then, They state
that hiring Blank would be transformative not just for German
(13:51):
Studies at CEU, but for the field as a whole.
Very few TTT positions in German studies have been held
by members of GROUS, historically underrepresented in higher education, and
until recently ten year positions were predominantly held by men.
So let's just upend it, regardless of qualifications or merit,
because we.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Got to get some of these guys out of here.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Her successful hiring would also help to address the critical
need for representation of black scholars and scholarship on Black
German culture in German studies.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Here, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
It's just focused on diversity, which equals ideology. The commentary
was published by The Wall Street Journal just yesterday, January
twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. You really should read it.
(14:55):
The headline is how DEI conquered the University of Colorado
the Trump's I mean. The subhead is Trump's order against
the practice is a crucial step in restoring the purpose
of higher education. They started out by pointing out that
Trump's order will deter universities from violating the law.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well, babyman, what law? Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, the Civil Rights of Act of nineteen sixty four.
Because the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four explicitly
states the discrimination in hiring is forbidden.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
So what are they doing.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
They're using DEI to circumvent the Civil Rights Act of
nineteen sixty four. The order will deter the universities from
violating the law, they write, its riple effects could also
help reverse a related trend, ideological discrimination, which has reshaped
(15:55):
the very meaning of higher education. At the University of
Colorado Boulder, administrators, department heads, and professors worked in tandem
to advance racial preferences and hiring. Documents acquired through a
public records request reveal In the process, they recruited faculty
who pushed the university's research agenda in a more ideological direction,
(16:19):
often with the aim of better recruiting minorities. I'd just
like to kind of point out to the cabal in Colorado,
this is a big ass story. Yes, so, between the
Manhattan Institute and the Wall Street Journal, and of course
(16:44):
those who helped them put together. The National Association of
Scholars might want to pay attention to this because what's
going on at UC Boulder, which is not a surprise
anybody who lives in Colorado. It's all about racial pre diferences,
an ideology, and which direction do you think that ideology goes.
(17:06):
I can't turn my head far enough left.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Michael, you should be a shame that you insaulted Boston College. Actually,
AOC claims to have graduated from Boston University.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yes, Janice, who lives listens to us in Boston, has
already chastised me for equating AOC with Boston College. Well,
excuse me, yes, yes, yes, yes there is you know
(17:42):
I talked about the NGOs.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Again.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Another reason to follow me on X at Michael Brown USA,
there is a thread about a organization that receives three
one hundred million dollars of our taxes for immigration related services.
(18:08):
Now that seems like an excessive amount. Three hundred and
seven million, four hundred thirty seven thousand, three hundred and
seventy six dollars in government funds flows to a single
address that provides immigration related services at seven hundred Lte Street, Baltimore, Maryland,
two one two three zero. And here's how the funds
(18:32):
are distributed among the organizations at that location, which also
reported in addition to the tax money that we give them,
they also received sixty four million dollars and two three
hundred eleven dollars to be precise, in individual contributions. Lutheran
(18:52):
Immigration and Refugee Service Government grants two hundred and twenty
one million plus cash shrumps contributions seven point six million
plus Lutheran.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
World Relief Inc.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Government grants seven point one million cash contributions fifty three million.
Inner Church Medical Assistance Inc. Government grants seventy eight million,
seventy eight plus million cash contributions two point seven million.
When you look at a giant graph of what it is,
(19:32):
it includes, like, let's take Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services
out of that they fund and this is just a
Sampling daycon Child, Family and Community, Lutheran Family Services of
Virginia Creative Solutions for Kids and Familiespian Ethiopian to you
(20:00):
know something, Social Services Lutheran Social Services of Metropolitan wherever
this is located. I'm just leaking at their graph. Lutheran
Family Services in the again doesn't spell it out. And
another Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska, Inc. All receiving all
of this money when you enter in their employer identification
(20:27):
numbers or EI in numbers, which if you'd like to
do it yourself, is one three to two, five seven
four eight five four.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Go look them up.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
One three, two five seven four eight five four, add
the keyword Lutheran, and you'll see that graph I just
talked about. This is how if those wants to do something,
first and foremost, we ought to stop. Because let me
(20:58):
draw a parallel between Trump says about FEMA and what's
going on here, because I think they're parallel, not precisely,
but I think they're parallel enough that you can see
how I think they look alike. Trump's complain about FEMA
is that it's not local, it's not really hands on
(21:22):
FEMA as I described it on the Saturday program. Day
before yesterday is it's got a giant checkbook. And prior
to DHS acted much like a giant orchestra conductor, bringing
about every organization, federal organization, and then all the state
governments that might be involved in a disaster, and if necessary,
(21:42):
the local government to deconflict policy differences to find out
what was needed logistically, what was working, what was not working,
to resolve those problems, and then to cut big ass
checks to cover those costs that were beyond the ability
of the state or local government to finance that. His
argument is, why do we need all that in between bureaucracy.
(22:05):
Let the state and locals decide what they need and
then quit doing this one hundred percent funding at the
federal level and say, okay, if if a disaster is
costing you one hundred million dollars and you only have
eighty million dollars in your budget, we'll make up that
twenty million dollar difference, or we'll you know, we'll do
seventy five percent of it. We'll pay you, you know,
(22:28):
seventy five million, and you can make up to twenty
five million. Well, his rationale is that the local people
know best what to do well, take that point if
Lutheran services are Catholic charities or any of these other
organizations that exist out there, go back to this original group.
(22:52):
The original group's name was what was it again, Global Refuge.
Someone by the name of Chrish is the president and
CEO of Global Refuge. She previously served in the Obama
Whitehouse as policy director for Big MIC, and she worked
at the State Department as senior advisor under Secretary of
(23:15):
State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State John Kerry. She
gets paid more than a million dollars a year. Well,
this nonprofit is collecting not just tax dollars, but is
also receiving private contributions. So we're money laundering through an
(23:38):
ideologically leftist organization to actually facilitate help and support illegal
aliens in this country with your tax dollars at the
same time that they bring in money from the private
sector to pay for those services that they're providing. I
(24:01):
don't think that my tax dollars. I don't think that
your tax dollars. You may disagree with me, I think
you're wrong. I think if private organizations want to go
help illegal aliens on the basis of compassion or whatever,
I don't give a rats ass. But if you want
to go do that on your own, then go get
your money from the private sector. Don't rely upon the
(24:23):
public sector my tax dollars to help fund you. And
I'm certainly not in favor of paying this woman more
than a million dollars a year to run this nonprofit.
Who's getting more than three hundred million, three hundred and
seven million dollars a taxpayer money? And what are they
doing altho? They're making sure that illegal aliens get legal services,
(24:44):
medical services, educational services, they get transportation, they get housing,
to get everything you could possibly need to live in
this country and not lift a finger to work.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
That's what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
So why don't DOGE take that money three hundred you
know it's a third of a billion dollars, take that
money and say no and start reimbursing DD and CBP
for the deportation and I well, I'm sorry repatriation and
the deporting, because you also are deporting. You're deporting illegal
(25:19):
aliens in this country. There's so much incestuous money laundering
going on just with illegal aliens that if you stop that,
you might start getting close to probably several billion dollars,
if not more, And that's not counting the amount of
(25:40):
money that's spent on by locals doing the same thing.
What is it that Denver spends. Now, Denver gets a
boatload of money from the state government, who gets that
money from the federal government. And much of the money
that the federal the federal government gave to the state
government to give to Denver government, came from COVID money.
(26:03):
He explained to me, what the hell an illegal alien
in this country has to do with COVID.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Nothing?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
But as I predicted when that money started coming out
back in twenty twenty and twenty, between twenty twenty and
twenty twenty two, I knew it was going to be
a slush fund. Now, how do I know that because
there were no reporting requirements whatsoever. If you could just
put the word COVID. If Jared Polus once he got
the money from the Cares Act, and once he got
(26:33):
the money and he wanted to give it to illegal aliens,
all he had to do was just put in the
keyword COVID, that he was spending the money on COVID,
and that satisfied to US Treasury that it was being
spent The way it was supposed to be spent. No audits,
no grants, no paper trails, nothing, nothing to make sure
that it had anything to do with COVID.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
So not in it.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Not only in addition to eliminating that kind of spending
the Star recision. You know, Trump's already been challenged on
the birthright citizenship issue, which you knew he would be
because everyone thinks that birthright citizenship has been approved by.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
The Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
They've never addressed specifically illegal aliens and birthright citizenship. Oh,
I know of the old cases, but forget that challenge
it anew. Make this Supreme Court deal with subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, and when you do that, you might
(27:38):
get a different answer. But he's being challenged by it.
A federal judge either in I think it was in Washington, surprised.
Imagine that they run to the state of Washington to
find a probably an Obama appointed federal district judge who
you knew was going to rule this way. Quite honestly,
I think most federal judges probably would rule this way.
(27:58):
But get it into the courts. You see, this is
a I guess the point I'm trying to make it
this is a long haul operation.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
So when jd.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Vance is asked about why have why have food prices
come down, his answer was absolutely spot on, because it's
going to take tight four years of this bull crap
and you want us to solve it all in a week. Uh, Margaret,
you might Margaret Bretan, you might actually be crazy.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants are all
these refugees have been properly vetted. In fact, we know
that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted,
and then we're literally planning terrorist attacks in our country
that happened during the campaign, if you may remember. So clearly,
not all of these foreignations.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
There are in the pipeline Afghan.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Refuge My primary commander as the Vice President, Margaret, is
to look after the American people, And now that we
know that we have vetting problems with a lot of
these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousand of unvetted
people into our countries. Are just like the guy who
played a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago.
He was allegedly properly vetted, And many people in the
(29:09):
media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Clearly he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with
people who are not properly vetted. And because I don't
want it from my kids, I'm not going to force
any other American citizens' kids to do that either.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
No, and that was a very particular case.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Here or while he was living. I don't really care, Margaret.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I don't want that person in my country. And I
think most Americans.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Agree with me. Bam. That's a masterclass and how to
deal with the cabul Could you hear that? I did?
I heard it distinctly.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
All are founding forefathers, and every male member of my
family that had served in.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
The armedforces stopped spinning in their graves now that President.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Trump is back in office. Yeah, that's a great sound
to say.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Have you heard about have you heard the phrase cute
winter boots? Cute winter boots. It's code language for the
resistance to Trump's deportation program. Here's the setup. A guy
in his car on TikTok starts talking about winter boots.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
You know, I'm starting to see this cute winter boots
thing going around, and I started to pay attention to
what this actually was. At first, I was like, has
to do with the migrants. I can see that, but
I really wasn't paying attention to it just keeps popping
up and popping up. Then I started to realize that
this is code being spoken by protesters, the Anti f A. Yeah,
(30:49):
Anti f A, it's playing something. They are speaking in
codes to this cute winter boots thing. How nice the
winter boots are to have. They're talking about groups and
organizations and organizing. Yeah, something big is about to happen
with this cute winter boots. Thy look it up, Get
on here, go in that search bar and start paying
(31:12):
attention to what these people are talking, what they're writing
on the papers, what they're saying, and really pay attention
and understand that this is not something innocent that is happening.
This is literally an organization speaking in code to everybody
on the internet right now.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Now, cute winter boots. What do you wear winter boots for?
So I'm thinking about taking the dogs walking after the program.
Today's supposed to be kind of nice out, but where
I take them it's going to be icy and I'm
going to change from my sneakers and I'm going to
put my cute winter boots on because it's ice out.
(31:50):
Ice is out, immigrations and customs enforcement.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Cute winter boots probably refers to which I find fascinating
because as much as they despise the Second Amendment and
the right of self defense and think that guns are
dangerous to everybody, maybe it's that you need to start
arming yourself.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I'm seeing a lot of videos on cute winter boots,
and there's sort of too streams.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Of content on this. There are boots that you can.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Use in the ice, and that's not something I know
a ton about. The other stream of content in these
videos is more about utilitarian boots and boots that maybe
you never thought that you would ever buy in your
life because that's just not your thing. And now you're seeing,
given our environment, you know, all the things you're probably
gonna need to invest in. Just a good, solid, you know,
(32:45):
pair of winter boots, and that I can help you
with because I came late to that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Sort of boot in my life.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I only acquired those sorts of boots about ten years ago.
A lot of you know that I used to be
the head of marketing for the Outdoor Channel, which is
a hunting and fishing television network. I grew up in
a family that didn't do a lot of.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
That outdoor stuff.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
When I say a lot, not at all, right, So
I go and work at the Outdoor Channel for eight years,
and lo and behold, I get exposure to some of
the biggest experts on cute winter boots in the country.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
And I opened my ears, close my mouth and listen.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
To them, and they taught me a lot, especially about
you know, what kind of a paracute winter boots would
you buy if you were a newcomer to you know,
to boots like that, right.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Never thought you were going to buy boots like that.
So got to learn a lot from them.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, cute winter boots. So if you play the deportation
program out like trend Ragua having their warehouse, sees where
they're having their little party on the weekend at some point,
which is why you need to pray for all these
ice and military members and everybody else. Cartels trend of Ragua.
(33:57):
Maybe just somebody that wouldn't the wise normally do it
might start shooting
Speaker 5 (34:08):
M
Good morning, Michael and Jacking. Mike, thank you so much,
mention that a lot of people know that, and a
lot of news that they don't even talk about it,
but you mentioned it, and.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Thank you so so much. Israeli Hill of the Date.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You too.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
So.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I find it fascinating the utter outrage they're they're they're
beside themselves. All these federal employees, not just federal employees, Uh,
Corporate America is succumbing to Trump's abolition of de I too.
Some willfully so, some gladly so, and some are kind
(00:52):
of resistant, but they're like, yeah, you know, it really
is kind of you know, de I really is racist,
and it's very core when you think about it, diversity,
equity and inclusion not opposed to diversity. I'm opposed to this.
You know, if you put diversity ahead of meritocracy, then
(01:13):
you are being racist. Well, anyway, all these former current
federal employees are angry, they're expressing outrage over the cessation
of diversity programs within these government agencies. You can go
to any number of Facebook groups and find all sorts
of posts about it and the discussions, primarily among individuals
(01:36):
that are associated with the National Park Service and Department
of Interior and others, don't Those are just two that
kind of stick out my mind. All these discussions reveal,
which I find funny, but these kind of deeply held
personal apprehensions about Trump's director to dismantle federal diversity equity inclusion,
(01:59):
and some have equated the move to historical periods of
intense scrutiny like McCarthyism. Now they've warned that they have
warned federal workers that they will be subject to disciplinary
actions if they resist the order. They've been issuing memos
(02:21):
with instructions to report any non compliance via a dedicated
email tipline. So a post from a Department of agg
employee shared this policy communication sent to agency staff, along
with the reporting email address and the Facebook group. And
so they compared the executive order to investigations into Communist
(02:44):
Party membership in the nineteen fifties. Now, when I read that,
I first thought, well, that's absurd, and then I thought,
maybe it's not absurd, because what was the Communist Party's
infiltration in the in the nineteen fifties? That alone? Today,
(03:06):
but what was the purpose? What it's always the purpose
of communism, whether it's the Chinese Communist Party, or it's
the Russian Communists they want to bring down America. Well,
what at the heart of THEI Well, it's really equity.
(03:27):
Like I know, diversity, equity, and inclusion, all such great
sounding words, right, they're also comforting all part of a community.
One of my other least favorite words. Equity is not
about equality. Equity is about everybody being the same. So
when they compared it to the McCarthyism and the Communist
(03:48):
Party investigations of the nineteen fifties, they might be right
in this sense. We're trying to weed out that which
is trying to destroy a man American character and American culture,
and it is a culture and a character of meritocracy.
You live and die by your abilities, and we shouldn't
(04:11):
set up these artificial measurements that then, you know, allow
you to take on a position that you really shouldn't
be taking on because you beat out somebody because you
haven't met the quota, or you do meet a quota
and somebody else's We got too many of that kind
of person. Whatever kind of identity politics you want to,
you want to attach to it. So one user commented
(04:33):
on the this this indication of constituty of constitutional duty
amid changes. Well, another like in the situation to an
era of these political witch hunts, suggesting figures like the
late Senator Joseph McCarthy would be approving of what's going
on today. Now, think about that, because the knee jerk
(04:56):
reaction is, oh, McCarthy bad.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I don't necessarily agree with McCarthy's tactics, but history has
proven McCarthy mostly correct about the communist threat within the
US federal government. Concerns extend beyond policy changes, because individuals
in these groups ponder, oh, there might be surveillance despite
(05:24):
their's assurances of privacy. So now the Department of Interior
has begun enforcing the policy, and communications among group members
advise you better be careful in navigating these directives.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, let's bring it to Colorado over on X.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
An account that goes by the National Association of Scholars
and John Saylor, who is from the Manhattan Institute, have
acquired a treasure trove of records from UC Boulder that
show how the entire university coordinated to advance a system
(06:14):
of race based hiring, and the documents that they have
produced they describe as astonishing I'd like to use the
word astonishing, except I think astonishing implies that there's an
element of surprise, and I'm not surprised by any of this.
(06:38):
The documents are, well, here's one. Our aim is specifically
to hire a black, Indigenous, or Latink's faculty member. That's
that's their state of goal. So they got the approved
(07:00):
successful proposals for the university's large scale diversity hiring program,
and they've got some examples. The College of Engineering and
Applied Science said that it's Cluster Higher had the goal
of quote doubling our underrepresented faculty in the college. It
reads this, this cluster guile, This cluster Higher has the
(07:25):
goal of doubling our underrepresented faculty in the college. According
to the Office of Data Analytics, the colleges of Engineering
have applied science employees, twelve tenure track faculty who self
identify as black or Hispanic, and none that identify as American, Indian,
Pacific Islander, or as two or more races. Therefore, should
(07:50):
the Provost Office support our college's cluster higher proposal, we
will match these lines and potentially double our diverse faculty
in the college at what costs hiring substandard professors hiring
professors that don't really belong to CU Boulder. That will
(08:14):
bring down the quality of teaching at the College of
Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Here's another example.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
The Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute proposed a specific candidate
who noted was quote an outstanding BIPOX scholar who would
increase the programs domestic faculty of color. They've redacted in
the receipts that they post. They redact the name, but
(08:45):
they say quote is an outstanding BIPOC scholar in physics
and material science and engineering has been a RACY affiliate
for seven years. Was a point of blank. Our proposed
hiring of Blank as associate full professor would increase racist
domestic faculty of color.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You're hiring based on color.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
There's nothing in the documents that indicates to me that
this particular individual somehow was way ahead of every other applicant,
just that they meant they were bipunked. Oh wow, okay,
Journalism Department of Journalism, our commitment. Let me just read
(09:33):
you the entire paragraph as opposed to it. You'll figure
out what the receipt is. The faculty in the Journalism
department understand that in our field, a person's professional credentials
and their life experiences in the.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Field maybe maybe.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
As informative and important as their academic credentials. Our commitment,
should we be successful with this application, is to hire
someone from the BIPOC community who can advance our programs
and who can support through mentoring and with research and
creative work resources so that they can be successful at
(10:10):
CU Boulder. So they recognize that, oh, yeah, they might
have good professional credentials, but oh, their life experiences are
as important as their academic credentials. What that really means
is their skin color is really as important as their
academic credentials, and in fact, the commitment to hire someone
(10:35):
from the BIPOC community becomes their overriding objective. Another example,
we have an urgent This is from the Department of
Ethnic Studies, of all places of ethnic studies, we have
an urgent and qualified need for BIPOC fam slash women
(10:57):
of color faculty. That's the very definition of identity politics. Oh,
we have an urgent need for someone who's bipocked fam
slash women of color. Wait a minute, there's no indication
anything about qualifications. Adding that the scholars should contribute to
(11:21):
a thematic cluster hire in racism and racial inequality. So
you have to have someone who meets all the identity
qualifications in order to hire this person. For the Institute
of Ethnic Studies at the U Boulder, the College of Media,
(11:43):
Communications and Informations, cluster hire emphasize hiring black, Indigenous Asian, American,
Latins and Pacific Islander faculty, but also note the disciplinary
focus again reading from the announces. Moreover, this cluster hire
(12:04):
bridges the imperative of diversity as it emphasizes hiring black,
Indigenous Asian American, Latinus and Pacific Islander faculty with the
campus commitment to inclusive excellence, so that comes first, accellently
(12:24):
comes second. So the Manhattan Institute put together a opinion
piece for the Wall Street Journal. Racial preferences go hand
in hand with ideological preferences. And then the Manhattan Institute
(12:46):
points out how a German studies scholar tuts how she's
both a woman of color, has expertise in anti racist
pedagoguy and decolonizing German studies. Decolonizing German studies. So here's
(13:06):
how this particular hire is described. One again, the names
reducted will bring teaching and research experience on Afro German culture,
the history of race, decolonizing German studies, Medieval German culture,
and anti racist pedagogy in German studies and humanities. The
Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures currently has
(13:28):
one faculty member of color in our TTT ranks and
no black faculty. Hiring a black faculty member with Blank
research interests, training and expertise would transform our research and
teaching profile. It's all about the appearances. Then, They state
that hiring Blank would be transformative not just for German
(13:51):
Studies at CEU, but for the field as a whole.
Very few TTT positions in German studies have been held
by members of GROUS, historically underrepresented in higher education, and
until recently ten year positions were predominantly held by men.
So let's just upend it, regardless of qualifications or merit,
because we.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Got to get some of these guys out of here.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Her successful hiring would also help to address the critical
need for representation of black scholars and scholarship on Black
German culture in German studies.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Here, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
It's just focused on diversity, which equals ideology. The commentary
was published by The Wall Street Journal just yesterday, January
twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. You really should read it.
(14:55):
The headline is how DEI conquered the University of Colorado
the Trump's I mean. The subhead is Trump's order against
the practice is a crucial step in restoring the purpose
of higher education. They started out by pointing out that
Trump's order will deter universities from violating the law.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well, babyman, what law? Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, the Civil Rights of Act of nineteen sixty four.
Because the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four explicitly
states the discrimination in hiring is forbidden.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
So what are they doing.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
They're using DEI to circumvent the Civil Rights Act of
nineteen sixty four. The order will deter the universities from
violating the law, they write, its riple effects could also
help reverse a related trend, ideological discrimination, which has reshaped
(15:55):
the very meaning of higher education. At the University of
Colorado Boulder, administrators, department heads, and professors worked in tandem
to advance racial preferences and hiring. Documents acquired through a
public records request reveal In the process, they recruited faculty
who pushed the university's research agenda in a more ideological direction,
(16:19):
often with the aim of better recruiting minorities. I'd just
like to kind of point out to the cabal in Colorado,
this is a big ass story. Yes, so, between the
Manhattan Institute and the Wall Street Journal, and of course
(16:44):
those who helped them put together. The National Association of
Scholars might want to pay attention to this because what's
going on at UC Boulder, which is not a surprise
anybody who lives in Colorado. It's all about racial pre diferences,
an ideology, and which direction do you think that ideology goes.
(17:06):
I can't turn my head far enough left.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Michael, you should be a shame that you insaulted Boston College. Actually,
AOC claims to have graduated from Boston University.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yes, Janice, who lives listens to us in Boston, has
already chastised me for equating AOC with Boston College. Well,
excuse me, yes, yes, yes, yes there is you know
(17:42):
I talked about the NGOs.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Again.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Another reason to follow me on X at Michael Brown USA,
there is a thread about a organization that receives three
one hundred million dollars of our taxes for immigration related services.
(18:08):
Now that seems like an excessive amount. Three hundred and
seven million, four hundred thirty seven thousand, three hundred and
seventy six dollars in government funds flows to a single
address that provides immigration related services at seven hundred Lte Street, Baltimore, Maryland,
two one two three zero. And here's how the funds
(18:32):
are distributed among the organizations at that location, which also
reported in addition to the tax money that we give them,
they also received sixty four million dollars and two three
hundred eleven dollars to be precise, in individual contributions. Lutheran
(18:52):
Immigration and Refugee Service Government grants two hundred and twenty
one million plus cash shrumps contributions seven point six million
plus Lutheran.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
World Relief Inc.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Government grants seven point one million cash contributions fifty three million.
Inner Church Medical Assistance Inc. Government grants seventy eight million,
seventy eight plus million cash contributions two point seven million.
When you look at a giant graph of what it is,
(19:32):
it includes, like, let's take Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services
out of that they fund and this is just a
Sampling daycon Child, Family and Community, Lutheran Family Services of
Virginia Creative Solutions for Kids and Familiespian Ethiopian to you
(20:00):
know something, Social Services Lutheran Social Services of Metropolitan wherever
this is located. I'm just leaking at their graph. Lutheran
Family Services in the again doesn't spell it out. And
another Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska, Inc. All receiving all
of this money when you enter in their employer identification
(20:27):
numbers or EI in numbers, which if you'd like to
do it yourself, is one three to two, five seven
four eight five four.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Go look them up.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
One three, two five seven four eight five four, add
the keyword Lutheran, and you'll see that graph I just
talked about. This is how if those wants to do something,
first and foremost, we ought to stop. Because let me
(20:58):
draw a parallel between Trump says about FEMA and what's
going on here, because I think they're parallel, not precisely,
but I think they're parallel enough that you can see
how I think they look alike. Trump's complain about FEMA
is that it's not local, it's not really hands on
(21:22):
FEMA as I described it on the Saturday program. Day
before yesterday is it's got a giant checkbook. And prior
to DHS acted much like a giant orchestra conductor, bringing
about every organization, federal organization, and then all the state
governments that might be involved in a disaster, and if necessary,
(21:42):
the local government to deconflict policy differences to find out
what was needed logistically, what was working, what was not working,
to resolve those problems, and then to cut big ass
checks to cover those costs that were beyond the ability
of the state or local government to finance that. His
argument is, why do we need all that in between bureaucracy.
(22:05):
Let the state and locals decide what they need and
then quit doing this one hundred percent funding at the
federal level and say, okay, if if a disaster is
costing you one hundred million dollars and you only have
eighty million dollars in your budget, we'll make up that
twenty million dollar difference, or we'll you know, we'll do
seventy five percent of it. We'll pay you, you know,
(22:28):
seventy five million, and you can make up to twenty
five million. Well, his rationale is that the local people
know best what to do well, take that point if
Lutheran services are Catholic charities or any of these other
organizations that exist out there, go back to this original group.
(22:52):
The original group's name was what was it again, Global Refuge.
Someone by the name of Chrish is the president and
CEO of Global Refuge. She previously served in the Obama
Whitehouse as policy director for Big MIC, and she worked
at the State Department as senior advisor under Secretary of
(23:15):
State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State John Kerry. She
gets paid more than a million dollars a year. Well,
this nonprofit is collecting not just tax dollars, but is
also receiving private contributions. So we're money laundering through an
(23:38):
ideologically leftist organization to actually facilitate help and support illegal
aliens in this country with your tax dollars at the
same time that they bring in money from the private
sector to pay for those services that they're providing. I
(24:01):
don't think that my tax dollars. I don't think that
your tax dollars. You may disagree with me, I think
you're wrong. I think if private organizations want to go
help illegal aliens on the basis of compassion or whatever,
I don't give a rats ass. But if you want
to go do that on your own, then go get
your money from the private sector. Don't rely upon the
(24:23):
public sector my tax dollars to help fund you. And
I'm certainly not in favor of paying this woman more
than a million dollars a year to run this nonprofit.
Who's getting more than three hundred million, three hundred and
seven million dollars a taxpayer money? And what are they
doing altho? They're making sure that illegal aliens get legal services,
(24:44):
medical services, educational services, they get transportation, they get housing,
to get everything you could possibly need to live in
this country and not lift a finger to work.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
That's what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
So why don't DOGE take that money three hundred you
know it's a third of a billion dollars, take that
money and say no and start reimbursing DD and CBP
for the deportation and I well, I'm sorry repatriation and
the deporting, because you also are deporting. You're deporting illegal
(25:19):
aliens in this country. There's so much incestuous money laundering
going on just with illegal aliens that if you stop that,
you might start getting close to probably several billion dollars,
if not more, And that's not counting the amount of
(25:40):
money that's spent on by locals doing the same thing.
What is it that Denver spends. Now, Denver gets a
boatload of money from the state government, who gets that
money from the federal government. And much of the money
that the federal the federal government gave to the state
government to give to Denver government, came from COVID money.
(26:03):
He explained to me, what the hell an illegal alien
in this country has to do with COVID.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Nothing?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
But as I predicted when that money started coming out
back in twenty twenty and twenty, between twenty twenty and
twenty twenty two, I knew it was going to be
a slush fund. Now, how do I know that because
there were no reporting requirements whatsoever. If you could just
put the word COVID. If Jared Polus once he got
the money from the Cares Act, and once he got
(26:33):
the money and he wanted to give it to illegal aliens,
all he had to do was just put in the
keyword COVID, that he was spending the money on COVID,
and that satisfied to US Treasury that it was being
spent The way it was supposed to be spent. No audits,
no grants, no paper trails, nothing, nothing to make sure
that it had anything to do with COVID.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
So not in it.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Not only in addition to eliminating that kind of spending
the Star recision. You know, Trump's already been challenged on
the birthright citizenship issue, which you knew he would be
because everyone thinks that birthright citizenship has been approved by.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
The Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
They've never addressed specifically illegal aliens and birthright citizenship. Oh,
I know of the old cases, but forget that challenge
it anew. Make this Supreme Court deal with subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, and when you do that, you might
(27:38):
get a different answer. But he's being challenged by it.
A federal judge either in I think it was in Washington, surprised.
Imagine that they run to the state of Washington to
find a probably an Obama appointed federal district judge who
you knew was going to rule this way. Quite honestly,
I think most federal judges probably would rule this way.
(27:58):
But get it into the courts. You see, this is
a I guess the point I'm trying to make it
this is a long haul operation.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
So when jd.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Vance is asked about why have why have food prices
come down, his answer was absolutely spot on, because it's
going to take tight four years of this bull crap
and you want us to solve it all in a week. Uh, Margaret,
you might Margaret Bretan, you might actually be crazy.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants are all
these refugees have been properly vetted. In fact, we know
that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted,
and then we're literally planning terrorist attacks in our country
that happened during the campaign, if you may remember. So clearly,
not all of these foreignations.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
There are in the pipeline Afghan.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Refuge My primary commander as the Vice President, Margaret, is
to look after the American people, And now that we
know that we have vetting problems with a lot of
these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousand of unvetted
people into our countries. Are just like the guy who
played a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago.
He was allegedly properly vetted, And many people in the
(29:09):
media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Clearly he wasn't.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with
people who are not properly vetted. And because I don't
want it from my kids, I'm not going to force
any other American citizens' kids to do that either.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
No, and that was a very particular case.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Here or while he was living. I don't really care, Margaret.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I don't want that person in my country. And I
think most Americans.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Agree with me. Bam. That's a masterclass and how to
deal with the cabul Could you hear that? I did?
I heard it distinctly.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
All are founding forefathers, and every male member of my
family that had served in.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
The armedforces stopped spinning in their graves now that President.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Trump is back in office. Yeah, that's a great sound
to say.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Have you heard about have you heard the phrase cute
winter boots? Cute winter boots. It's code language for the
resistance to Trump's deportation program. Here's the setup. A guy
in his car on TikTok starts talking about winter boots.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
You know, I'm starting to see this cute winter boots
thing going around, and I started to pay attention to
what this actually was. At first, I was like, has
to do with the migrants. I can see that, but
I really wasn't paying attention to it just keeps popping
up and popping up. Then I started to realize that
this is code being spoken by protesters, the Anti f A. Yeah,
(30:49):
Anti f A, it's playing something. They are speaking in
codes to this cute winter boots thing. How nice the
winter boots are to have. They're talking about groups and
organizations and organizing. Yeah, something big is about to happen
with this cute winter boots. Thy look it up, Get
on here, go in that search bar and start paying
(31:12):
attention to what these people are talking, what they're writing
on the papers, what they're saying, and really pay attention
and understand that this is not something innocent that is happening.
This is literally an organization speaking in code to everybody
on the internet right now.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Now, cute winter boots. What do you wear winter boots for?
So I'm thinking about taking the dogs walking after the program.
Today's supposed to be kind of nice out, but where
I take them it's going to be icy and I'm
going to change from my sneakers and I'm going to
put my cute winter boots on because it's ice out.
(31:50):
Ice is out, immigrations and customs enforcement.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Cute winter boots probably refers to which I find fascinating
because as much as they despise the Second Amendment and
the right of self defense and think that guns are
dangerous to everybody, maybe it's that you need to start
arming yourself.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I'm seeing a lot of videos on cute winter boots,
and there's sort of too streams.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Of content on this. There are boots that you can.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Use in the ice, and that's not something I know
a ton about. The other stream of content in these
videos is more about utilitarian boots and boots that maybe
you never thought that you would ever buy in your
life because that's just not your thing. And now you're seeing,
given our environment, you know, all the things you're probably
gonna need to invest in. Just a good, solid, you know,
(32:45):
pair of winter boots, and that I can help you
with because I came late to that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Sort of boot in my life.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I only acquired those sorts of boots about ten years ago.
A lot of you know that I used to be
the head of marketing for the Outdoor Channel, which is
a hunting and fishing television network. I grew up in
a family that didn't do a lot of.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
That outdoor stuff.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
When I say a lot, not at all, right, So
I go and work at the Outdoor Channel for eight years,
and lo and behold, I get exposure to some of
the biggest experts on cute winter boots in the country.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
And I opened my ears, close my mouth and listen.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
To them, and they taught me a lot, especially about
you know, what kind of a paracute winter boots would
you buy if you were a newcomer to you know,
to boots like that, right.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Never thought you were going to buy boots like that.
So got to learn a lot from them.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, cute winter boots. So if you play the deportation
program out like trend Ragua having their warehouse, sees where
they're having their little party on the weekend at some point,
which is why you need to pray for all these
ice and military members and everybody else. Cartels trend of Ragua.
(33:57):
Maybe just somebody that wouldn't the wise normally do it
might start shooting
Speaker 5 (34:08):
