Yes. huge news,

For erica and the team and really for charlie.
00:00:21.211 --> 00:00:24.747
We have just got the wall street
00:00:25.448 --> 00:00:27.750
Journal published it this morning.
00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:29.352
Charlie kirk's newest
00:00:29.352 --> 00:00:30.520
Book is a hit, and it it's out of stock on amazon.
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:34.190
Here you go. yep.
00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:35.458
That's the that's the graphic from the wall street journal.
00:00:35.458 --> 00:00:37.727
The story. and here of course, is the book.
00:00:37.727 --> 00:00:40.330
Stop in the name of god.
00:00:40.330 --> 00:00:41.898
Why?
00:00:41.898 --> 00:00:42.932
Honoring the sabbath will transform your life.
00:00:42.932 --> 00:00:45.602
Erica has been doing an amazing job.
00:00:45.602 --> 00:00:47.470
She, of course, is on the show yesterday, promoting it in
00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:51.174
Charlie stead and i want to play a couple clips from erica
00:00:51.174 --> 00:00:54.844
Being on the fire yesterday just because it was so, it was
00:00:54.844 --> 00:00:59.082
I mean, i don't remember the last time i saw
00:00:59.082 --> 00:01:00.884
Kind of like, a guest host,
00:01:00.884 --> 00:01:02.318
On the fire especially, you know, promoting a book.
00:01:02.318 --> 00:01:04.487
So thank you to, the five and jesse
00:01:04.487 --> 00:01:07.724
And greg and dana and even jessica tarlov.
00:01:07.724 --> 00:01:11.461
She was very sweet.
00:01:11.461 --> 00:01:12.495
219 girls, jesse and greg are in a bible study
00:01:12.495 --> 00:01:17.200
Group together.
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:18.134
Are they really because of charlie kirk?
00:01:18.134 --> 00:01:20.069
Okay, that is really cool.
00:01:20.069 --> 00:01:21.538
So every morning that is really cool.
00:01:21.538 --> 00:01:23.907
Every morning we wake up and we read a passage
00:01:23.907 --> 00:01:26.776
And then we text about it. okay.
00:01:26.776 --> 00:01:28.378
And it is because of charlie, i love that.
00:01:28.378 --> 00:01:31.414
Wait a minute.
00:01:31.414 --> 00:01:31.981
So what are you saying?
00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:32.715
It was harold, jesse and greg.
00:01:32.715 --> 00:01:35.084
So harold the liberal, and jesse and greg are not,
00:01:35.084 --> 00:01:38.922
And they're all in a bible study because of charlie.
00:01:38.922 --> 00:01:41.758
So we found that out yesterday, which was.
00:01:41.758 --> 00:01:44.060
Which was amazing.
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:44.894
Here's erica
00:01:44.894 --> 00:01:45.962
Kirk telling the five about how president trump
00:01:45.962 --> 00:01:48.064
Has been there for her in this time.
00:01:48.064 --> 00:01:49.799
220 when donald trump secured peace in the middle east
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.703
The next day, he flew back siddiq
00:01:53.703 --> 00:01:58.041
To deliver my husband's medal of freedom to me.
00:01:58.041 --> 00:02:01.277
He didn't have to do that.
00:02:01.277 --> 00:02:02.845
So a lot of people i understand there's a lot of policy
00:02:02.845 --> 00:02:05.582
And everything involved.
00:02:05.582 --> 00:02:06.182
But also, i am very proud
00:02:06.182 --> 00:02:08.952
To have donald trump as our president, i really am.
00:02:08.952 --> 00:02:11.821
He's a good man.
00:02:11.821 --> 00:02:13.122
So good man.
00:02:13.122 --> 00:02:13.790
And you know, two,
00:02:13.790 --> 00:02:14.991
Two, three, three put that picture back up.
00:02:14.991 --> 00:02:17.360
Stop in the name of tops number one on amazon
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.330
Bestseller list.
00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:21.564
Book it out like it's sold out on amazon.
00:02:21.564 --> 00:02:25.568
They're going have to print more.
00:02:25.568 --> 00:02:26.803
Yeah. and it's just it's just phenomenal.
00:02:26.803 --> 00:02:28.771
So, congratulations to eric and the team,
00:02:28.771 --> 00:02:31.841
The team, winning team, publishing 45 books.com.
00:02:31.841 --> 00:02:35.011
If you want to get your copy.
00:02:35.011 --> 00:02:36.446
Eric was actually it was funny because,
00:02:36.446 --> 00:02:39.115
This morning,
00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:40.016
I've been
00:02:40.016 --> 00:02:40.984
Texting with a bunch of people with, you know,
00:02:40.984 --> 00:02:42.819
Eric is going to do
00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:43.853
Glenn beck's show tomorrow morning, and then,
00:02:43.853 --> 00:02:45.888
So we got to do a conversation
00:02:45.888 --> 00:02:47.624
With glenn's team, and then,
00:02:47.624 --> 00:02:48.591
So glenn's actually going to join us
00:02:48.591 --> 00:02:50.059
At the top of the show tomorrow. awesome.
00:02:50.059 --> 00:02:51.861
Which will be great.
00:02:51.861 --> 00:02:52.862
And we can talk about that many other things.
00:02:52.862 --> 00:02:54.397
But, there's another big news story
00:02:54.397 --> 00:02:58.234
That was near and dear to charlie's heart.
00:02:58.234 --> 00:02:59.936
This is this is love,
00:02:59.936 --> 00:03:00.870
And it's near and dear to blake's heart.
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:02.005
So we're going to hit it at our one.
00:03:02.005 --> 00:03:03.673
We're also going to bring harmeet
00:03:03.673 --> 00:03:04.774
Dhillon, from the doj civil rights department on
00:03:04.774 --> 00:03:08.344
At the second half of this hour to talk about it.
00:03:08.344 --> 00:03:10.213
But that is, of course,
00:03:10.213 --> 00:03:11.547
The rolling back of disparate impact,
00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:14.050
Standards within the doj, within the federal government.
00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:16.786
But like, what is disparate impact,
00:03:16.786 --> 00:03:19.022
If you had to boil it down
00:03:19.022 --> 00:03:20.156
Already, so disparate impact is more
00:03:20.156 --> 00:03:22.625
People are thankfully becoming aware of it.
00:03:22.625 --> 00:03:24.160
But it's been around for half a century at this point.
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.797
And disparate impact is sort of the it's the spearhead
00:03:27.797 --> 00:03:31.134
For a lot of what we call the dei regime the agenda, the
00:03:31.134 --> 00:03:37.640
Diaby i.d.
00:03:37.940 --> 00:03:39.809
Dictatorship of america, which is where
00:03:39.809 --> 00:03:42.879
Instead of things coming down to merit,
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.681
Coming down to measurable ability, where we reduce things
00:03:44.681 --> 00:03:47.650
To quotas, to favoritism, to discrimination based on race
00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:52.755
Or sex or national origin, or who who knows what, and,
00:03:52.755 --> 00:03:57.360
You know, i think this is actually
00:03:58.127 --> 00:03:59.162
A good opportunity, for to bring in, charlie,
00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:02.465
Because he was talking about this in april
00:04:02.465 --> 00:04:03.833
When there was a trump
00:04:03.833 --> 00:04:04.600
Executive order concerning this.
00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:06.436
And we're going to get to the follow up in a second.
00:04:06.436 --> 00:04:08.171
But this was, charlie summing it up.
00:04:08.171 --> 00:04:10.273
Let's play.
00:04:10.273 --> 00:04:10.873
236 in 1971,
00:04:10.873 --> 00:04:13.643
There was a supreme court case, griggs v duke power company.
00:04:13.643 --> 00:04:17.246
Duke power was sued because for people
00:04:17.246 --> 00:04:19.582
To get certain jobs at the company,
00:04:19.582 --> 00:04:21.551
They required them to either have a high school diploma
00:04:21.551 --> 00:04:24.087
Or pass an aptitude test.
00:04:24.087 --> 00:04:26.022
Black applicants were less likely to have a diploma,
00:04:26.022 --> 00:04:29.025
And they don't.
00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:29.992
They didn't do as well on the aptitude test.
00:04:29.992 --> 00:04:31.527
The supreme court ruled
00:04:31.527 --> 00:04:32.795
That duke's job requirements were, quote,
00:04:32.795 --> 00:04:35.131
Justified, were not justified by business necessity,
00:04:35.131 --> 00:04:38.801
And so they were illegally discriminatory.
00:04:38.801 --> 00:04:41.270
And thus the doctrine of disparate impact was born.
00:04:41.270 --> 00:04:44.140
The idea was this was a neutral test,
00:04:44.140 --> 00:04:47.610
Just having a high school diploma
00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:49.112
Or taking this aptitude test, no one could realize
00:04:49.112 --> 00:04:51.948
There was no one actually coming in and saying,
00:04:51.948 --> 00:04:54.183
Oh, don't hire black people, but they were just less
00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:58.054
Likely to do well as well on this test.
00:04:58.054 --> 00:04:59.789
And the court said, well,
00:04:59.789 --> 00:05:01.190
We don't think this test is close
00:05:01.190 --> 00:05:02.859
Enough to what you need employees
00:05:02.859 --> 00:05:04.994
To do at this company.
00:05:04.994 --> 00:05:06.229
And because it doesn't have an equal outcome
00:05:06.229 --> 00:05:09.232
Between these two groups, it's discriminatory.
00:05:09.232 --> 00:05:11.868
So it's what took our law from what most people think of
00:05:11.868 --> 00:05:14.971
When they think of discrimination,
00:05:14.971 --> 00:05:16.172
Where you're deliberately discriminating against people
00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:18.975
And they're saying anything you do.
00:05:18.975 --> 00:05:21.544
If it has an unequal outcome,
00:05:21.544 --> 00:05:24.013
Can be labeled illegal, can be labeled
00:05:24.781 --> 00:05:26.983
Illegal, discrimination can get you sued.
00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:28.951
And what that's turned into is you essentially anything
00:05:28.951 --> 00:05:33.790
Can be illegal
00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:34.824
Because newsflash, andrew, everything has unequal
00:05:34.824 --> 00:05:37.560
Outcomes, everything in the world.
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.028
No one actually, i think we have this as well.
00:05:39.028 --> 00:05:41.297
Let's do 237 before the break.
00:05:41.297 --> 00:05:43.733
Literally every standard imaginable
00:05:43.733 --> 00:05:46.469
Has created has some sort of disparate
00:05:47.303 --> 00:05:49.238
Impact against a group.
00:05:49.238 --> 00:05:50.406
Nobody on this planet has ever designed a test
00:05:50.406 --> 00:05:53.609
Or a standard that men, women, blacks, whites,
00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:56.112
Asians, hispanics, catholic, jews, gays, straights
00:05:56.112 --> 00:05:58.848
Do so equally well.
00:05:58.848 --> 00:05:59.849
The very idea is an absurd fantasy.
00:05:59.849 --> 00:06:02.018
You're going to have different outcomes.
00:06:02.018 --> 00:06:04.620
But what disparate impact does it says
00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:07.757
The test itself is wrong.
00:06:07.757 --> 00:06:11.260
It is a loophole that you could drive a semi-truck through.
00:06:11.260 --> 00:06:14.564
It's a little sliver and you say, oh, disparate impact.
00:06:14.564 --> 00:06:17.567
Well, what's the big deal here?
00:06:17.567 --> 00:06:18.701
No, no, no, no, this has been exploited
00:06:18.701 --> 00:06:20.670
By dei actors for the last 30 years.
00:06:20.670 --> 00:06:24.340
30 last 50 years.
00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:26.108
Yeah.
00:06:26.108 --> 00:06:26.776
And again, one of the things
00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:28.678
I want to get into the next segment is aptitude test.
00:06:28.678 --> 00:06:31.447
We used to require these to get a job
00:06:31.447 --> 00:06:33.249
In the federal government, for example.
00:06:33.249 --> 00:06:34.684
And the one of the best examples of this was the nypd.
00:06:34.684 --> 00:06:39.455
I brought it up before class of chiefs, the 1939.
00:06:39.455 --> 00:06:42.191
Now, this had controversy because they claimed
00:06:42.191 --> 00:06:43.759
It was anti semitic or anti-jewish.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.162
But here's what's interesting.
00:06:46.162 --> 00:06:47.396
They had so many applicants, they just selected candidates
00:06:47.396 --> 00:06:49.532
From the top scores on the civil service exam.
00:06:49.532 --> 00:06:52.168
It's a great way to pick people to retirement
00:06:52.168 --> 00:06:54.270
Or rank performance than any other year.
00:06:54.270 --> 00:06:56.572
We'll be right back.
00:06:56.572 --> 00:07:00.877
The wounds from
00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:02.245
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:07:02.245 --> 00:07:05.381
Behind me rises
00:07:05.748 --> 00:07:06.949
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:10.620
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:14.357
Entire communities shattered.
00:07:14.991 --> 00:07:17.093
Families displaced.
00:07:17.093 --> 00:07:18.828
And each day,
00:07:18.828 --> 00:07:19.929
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:07:19.929 --> 00:07:23.900
But the bible says it clearly.
00:07:23.900 --> 00:07:26.168
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:07:26.168 --> 00:07:30.339
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:32.108
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:07:32.108 --> 00:07:34.644
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:07:34.644 --> 00:07:37.213
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:07:37.213 --> 00:07:39.048
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:07:39.048 --> 00:07:41.250
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:43.686
And the traumatized.
00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:45.254
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:07:45.254 --> 00:07:48.257
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:07:48.257 --> 00:07:51.460
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:07:51.460 --> 00:07:54.497
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:07:54.497 --> 00:07:57.466
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:07:57.466 --> 00:08:01.002
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:01.002 --> 00:08:10.005
Recommend everybody check
00:08:10.573 --> 00:08:11.807
Out thomas soul's book discrimination and disparities.
00:08:11.807 --> 00:08:14.543
It's one of charlie's favorite books to to quote.
00:08:14.543 --> 00:08:17.279
And in in it so challenges single factor explanations.
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:22.818
And what that means is
00:08:22.818 --> 00:08:24.520
There is disparities in racial outcomes.
00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:28.490
Blacks and hispanics tended not to do as well on certain
00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:31.694
Aptitude test.
00:08:31.694 --> 00:08:32.995
We can we can ask questions why that is.
00:08:32.995 --> 00:08:35.898
So they got
00:08:35.898 --> 00:08:36.599
Rid of aptitude tests largely
00:08:36.599 --> 00:08:38.133
In order to get into the federal government.
00:08:38.133 --> 00:08:39.935
You had to pass or you had to take a test,
00:08:39.935 --> 00:08:43.339
Which was what is it stand for, political and political or.
00:08:43.339 --> 00:08:46.342
No, no, it's a professional
00:08:46.342 --> 00:08:47.543
Civil and career examination and administrative career exam.
00:08:47.543 --> 00:08:50.379
Yeah.
00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:51.580
And so we still have some tests in the federal government,
00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:53.282
But they've been they've been removed.
00:08:53.282 --> 00:08:55.517
That's that's the important thing about disparate impact.
00:08:55.517 --> 00:08:57.386
It doesn't actually ban tests there.
00:08:57.386 --> 00:08:59.288
So for example, the maybe unless they got rid
00:08:59.288 --> 00:09:02.057
Of the state
00:09:02.057 --> 00:09:03.292
Department had long had a test to to get in and for example.
00:09:03.292 --> 00:09:05.995
But what when we say i said disparate impact
00:09:05.995 --> 00:09:08.530
Makes everything illegal.
00:09:08.530 --> 00:09:09.965
It literally does make everything illegal.
00:09:09.965 --> 00:09:12.534
And what that means is that you have government by vibes.
00:09:12.534 --> 00:09:16.205
So for example with disparate impact a company,
00:09:16.205 --> 00:09:20.242
If they say we're just going to give
00:09:20.242 --> 00:09:21.844
Every job applicant an iq test and hire the top scorers.
00:09:21.844 --> 00:09:25.180
Yeah, they'll get historically they would get a very
00:09:25.180 --> 00:09:29.051
Questionable look from the federal government.
00:09:29.051 --> 00:09:30.886
It would feel legally risky to do.
00:09:30.886 --> 00:09:33.055
But if they say
00:09:33.055 --> 00:09:34.256
You need this or that college diploma to be hired by us,
00:09:34.256 --> 00:09:37.893
It's very unlikely that they would be,
00:09:37.893 --> 00:09:39.528
Questioned, even if that diploma isn't
00:09:39.528 --> 00:09:41.864
Super directly related to what they're hiring for.
00:09:41.864 --> 00:09:44.900
Both of those things have a disparate impact.
00:09:44.900 --> 00:09:46.802
You know, whites
00:09:46.802 --> 00:09:47.903
And asians are more likely to have college diplomas
00:09:47.903 --> 00:09:49.338
Than black americans, for example.
00:09:49.338 --> 00:09:51.340
So why is one looked at negatively and the other isn't?
00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:55.377
It basically just comes down to how the bureaucrats feel.
00:09:55.377 --> 00:09:57.246
It's vibes based and government bureaucrats and lawyers
00:09:57.246 --> 00:10:00.215
Like colleges. they like diplomas.
00:10:00.215 --> 00:10:02.351
They like liberal colleges
00:10:02.351 --> 00:10:04.019
Dispensing these job granting credentials
00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:07.056
To people that you have to pay a ton of money for.
00:10:07.056 --> 00:10:08.924
And they don't like iq tests.
00:10:08.924 --> 00:10:11.193
And so you get this vibes based government.
00:10:11.193 --> 00:10:14.163
And then you also get, that's what also drives that ratchet
00:10:14.163 --> 00:10:17.466
That charlie would talk so much about,
00:10:17.466 --> 00:10:18.967
Which is you avoid getting the government
00:10:18.967 --> 00:10:21.070
After you by doing all these big, loud,
00:10:21.070 --> 00:10:23.138
Expensive signals that you're not racist, that you're
00:10:23.138 --> 00:10:25.908
Not sexist
00:10:25.908 --> 00:10:27.009
Because everyone's breaking the law
00:10:27.009 --> 00:10:28.777
Because everything's illegal.
00:10:28.777 --> 00:10:29.978
So you just are trying to say, don't eat me
00:10:29.978 --> 00:10:32.514
Because they can't eat everyone.
00:10:32.514 --> 00:10:34.383
This all loops around to why we're talking about this today.
00:10:34.383 --> 00:10:37.152
Because one of the great things
00:10:37.152 --> 00:10:38.921
Going on in this administration,
00:10:38.921 --> 00:10:40.723
Just yesterday, we had a great announcement
00:10:40.723 --> 00:10:42.991
From the department of justice, a civil rights division,
00:10:42.991 --> 00:10:45.728
Where they're going after the traditional
00:10:45.728 --> 00:10:49.498
Disparate impact prioritization in their office.
00:10:49.498 --> 00:10:53.335
The quote they had from their division,
00:10:53.335 --> 00:10:55.304
The prior disparate impact regulations
00:10:55.304 --> 00:10:57.606
Encourage people to file lawsuits challenging racially
00:10:57.606 --> 00:11:01.076
Neutral policies
00:11:01.076 --> 00:11:02.377
Without evidence of intentional discrimination.
00:11:02.377 --> 00:11:05.347
Our rejection of this theory will restore true equality
00:11:05.347 --> 00:11:08.117
Under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination,
00:11:08.117 --> 00:11:12.121
Rather than just enforcing
00:11:12.121 --> 00:11:13.622
Race or sex based quotas or assumptions.
00:11:13.622 --> 00:11:16.391
And the other thing that we had yesterday because of this,
00:11:16.391 --> 00:11:20.329
The civil rights division
00:11:20.329 --> 00:11:21.463
Is a bunch of employees of the doj's civil
00:11:21.463 --> 00:11:24.166
Rights decision, a division have released an open letter
00:11:24.166 --> 00:11:27.770
Denouncing the direction
00:11:28.303 --> 00:11:29.938
That the department has been headed in.
00:11:29.938 --> 00:11:31.340
And it turns out about 75% of lawyers
00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:35.144
Of career lawyers in the doj's civil rights division
00:11:35.144 --> 00:11:37.913
Have left
00:11:37.913 --> 00:11:38.881
Because they are outraged at the direction
00:11:38.881 --> 00:11:40.315
The trump administration is taking it.
00:11:40.315 --> 00:11:41.717
God bless america.
00:11:41.717 --> 00:11:43.018
Yeah, this this is better than dodge.
00:11:43.018 --> 00:11:45.020
This is better.
00:11:45.020 --> 00:11:46.121
You know, like 75% of a of a single of a weaponized
00:11:46.121 --> 00:11:50.092
Bureaucracy like the woke commissars, as charlie
00:11:50.092 --> 00:11:53.195
Like to say, get them out, get them out.
00:11:53.195 --> 00:11:56.064
Former doj staff criticized leadership
00:11:56.064 --> 00:11:58.867
For abandoning civil rights mission.
00:11:58.867 --> 00:12:01.303
That's a that's a good thing.
00:12:01.303 --> 00:12:03.005
It's an amazing thing. stand up and clap.
00:12:03.005 --> 00:12:05.007
And we are going to we're going to give harmeet
00:12:05.007 --> 00:12:06.942
Dhillon her her, kudos and a and a warm,
00:12:06.942 --> 00:12:11.780
Congratulatory, welcome on to the show because
00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:15.250
It's listen, you're losing 75 attorneys
00:12:15.250 --> 00:12:18.554
That are leaving the doj civil rights for 275%.
00:12:18.554 --> 00:12:21.490
Yeah, 75%. sorry.
00:12:21.490 --> 00:12:23.425
More than 200 former employees.
00:12:23.425 --> 00:12:25.694
Yeah.
00:12:25.694 --> 00:12:26.695
Criticize what they call an ongoing destruction
00:12:26.695 --> 00:12:28.530
Of the civil rights division.
00:12:28.530 --> 00:12:29.798
This is the this is bigger and more impactful
00:12:29.798 --> 00:12:34.536
Than most people could possibly realize because,
00:12:34.536 --> 00:12:37.606
Yeah, you know, charlie said 30 years
00:12:37.606 --> 00:12:39.208
This has been going on for 50 years
00:12:39.208 --> 00:12:40.843
In our federal government.
00:12:40.843 --> 00:12:41.677
When you
00:12:41.677 --> 00:12:42.878
See a sliding of standards, when you see an abandonment
00:12:42.878 --> 00:12:45.914
Of meritocracy, when you see that like,
00:12:45.914 --> 00:12:49.451
I think there's this prevailing fog over the country
00:12:49.451 --> 00:12:51.987
Where it just feels like things don't matter anymore.
00:12:51.987 --> 00:12:54.122
It's like, oh, well, people just get away with crap
00:12:54.122 --> 00:12:56.158
And nobody gets held accountable.
00:12:56.158 --> 00:12:57.926
This is one of the root causes for that, where it's like
00:12:57.926 --> 00:13:00.596
Charlie used to say, it was like, whose line is it
00:13:00.596 --> 00:13:02.531
Anyway?
00:13:02.531 --> 00:13:03.732
Where the points are made up and the rules don't matter.
00:13:03.732 --> 00:13:04.867
That's what modern society is starting to feel like.
00:13:04.867 --> 00:13:06.869
Why does it feel that way?
00:13:06.869 --> 00:13:08.370
Part of the root cause of of this is disparate impact.
00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:11.773
It's and by the way,
00:13:11.773 --> 00:13:13.342
The legal profession getting infected
00:13:13.342 --> 00:13:15.143
With dei in critical theory and all of these things,
00:13:15.143 --> 00:13:18.013
It floods out into the wider,
00:13:18.013 --> 00:13:20.249
Culture and the wider society, government bureaucracies,
00:13:20.249 --> 00:13:23.552
Civil order and things fall apart over time.
00:13:23.552 --> 00:13:26.755
Things disinfect everything by grade.
00:13:26.755 --> 00:13:28.790
And so
00:13:28.790 --> 00:13:29.925
If you want to get to root causes,
00:13:29.925 --> 00:13:31.727
You have to get rid of disparate impact.
00:13:31.727 --> 00:13:33.562
This is a huge, huge development.
00:13:33.562 --> 00:13:35.664
And we're going to talk about it with harmeet dhillon
00:13:35.664 --> 00:13:37.799
Next. don't go anywhere.
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.171
That christmas morning.
00:13:43.672 --> 00:13:45.274
Wise men brought gifts from outside the holy land.
00:13:45.274 --> 00:13:50.078
But now that the war is over,
00:13:50.712 --> 00:13:53.715
This holy land and her people
00:13:53.715 --> 00:13:55.617
Are still carrying deep wounded.
00:13:55.617 --> 00:13:58.387
Many of the elderly are alone and suffering
00:13:58.387 --> 00:14:02.057
Like the wise men or wise women.
00:14:02.758 --> 00:14:05.994
When you open your heart and give a special holiday food
00:14:05.994 --> 00:14:10.666
Box to someone here in israel
00:14:10.666 --> 00:14:13.368
This christmas chronicles season.
00:14:13.368 --> 00:14:16.438
People like hannah who can't buy food.
00:14:16.438 --> 00:14:20.809
That's where the fellowship is called to feed the hungry.
00:14:20.809 --> 00:14:25.047
Please call, scan or go online now to help rush emergency
00:14:25.047 --> 00:14:29.117
Food and healing to elderly jews
00:14:29.117 --> 00:14:31.219
And their christian neighbors struggling
00:14:31.219 --> 00:14:32.988
To rebuild their lives from the war.
00:14:32.988 --> 00:14:35.157
What will happen when we make this holy day season?
00:14:35.157 --> 00:14:40.629
Holy indeed.
00:14:40.629 --> 00:14:42.001
Holy indeed.
00:14:42.001 --> 00:14:51.775
Welcome to the show.
00:14:52.242 --> 00:14:53.777
Harmeet dhillon,
00:14:53.777 --> 00:14:54.945
Assistant attorney general for the civil rights division.
00:14:54.945 --> 00:14:57.648
Think this is the first time
00:14:57.648 --> 00:14:58.582
We've had you back, if i'm not mistaken.
00:14:58.582 --> 00:15:00.284
In this, brave new world that we're living in.
00:15:00.284 --> 00:15:03.654
So welcome. we're honored to have you.
00:15:03.654 --> 00:15:06.023
Thanks for having me.
00:15:06.023 --> 00:15:06.924
It's always an honor to be on this show.
00:15:06.924 --> 00:15:08.993
Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:08.993 --> 00:15:09.960
I, told the audience, harmeet,
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:11.862
That we were going to give you a very warm welcome
00:15:11.862 --> 00:15:14.832
Because, you have
00:15:15.265 --> 00:15:17.634
You have done what i think even doge was not able to do.
00:15:17.634 --> 00:15:21.005
And, you you are.
00:15:21.005 --> 00:15:23.707
I'm i'll let you describe it the way you want to,
00:15:23.707 --> 00:15:26.143
Because i know these things can be sensitive
00:15:26.143 --> 00:15:27.644
In the actual official halls of power, but,
00:15:27.644 --> 00:15:30.414
You're clean cleaning house at the doj.
00:15:30.414 --> 00:15:34.251
Civil rights division.
00:15:34.251 --> 00:15:35.219
There's a report this morning.
00:15:35.219 --> 00:15:36.687
We celebrate these changes.
00:15:36.687 --> 00:15:38.655
And also there's news on disparate impact.
00:15:38.655 --> 00:15:41.025
The floor is yours, harmeet.
00:15:41.025 --> 00:15:42.993
Well, thank you so much, andrew.
00:15:42.993 --> 00:15:44.428
And so, yes, i'm in the news this week
00:15:44.428 --> 00:15:46.630
Because there are hundreds of disgruntled former
00:15:46.630 --> 00:15:50.367
Civil rights division lawyers who voluntarily quit.
00:15:50.367 --> 00:15:54.038
I didn't fire them
00:15:54.038 --> 00:15:55.406
After i told them that their job was going to be to protect
00:15:55.406 --> 00:15:58.842
The civil rights of all americans,
00:15:58.842 --> 00:16:00.811
Not just the chosen few and their pet projects
00:16:00.811 --> 00:16:03.947
That they had been pursuing for decades.
00:16:03.947 --> 00:16:05.849
Here in the civil rights division,
00:16:05.849 --> 00:16:07.618
200 of them are so immediately quit and took a five month
00:16:07.618 --> 00:16:11.021
Payout.
00:16:11.021 --> 00:16:11.922
So over $100,000 worth of severance pay.
00:16:11.922 --> 00:16:14.858
And then over the last few months, another, close to a.
00:16:14.858 --> 00:16:18.262
Have quit.
00:16:18.562 --> 00:16:19.763
And yet, you know, they're writing in the press.
00:16:19.763 --> 00:16:22.166
Reuters covered it.
00:16:22.166 --> 00:16:23.300
And they want they say that i'm trashing the doj.
00:16:23.300 --> 00:16:26.703
I've changed its mission.
00:16:26.703 --> 00:16:27.871
I'm making them
00:16:27.871 --> 00:16:29.807
Making attorneys do stuff they don't want to do.
00:16:29.807 --> 00:16:31.942
And it's,
00:16:31.942 --> 00:16:33.110
It's against the storied, historic, vision of the doj.
00:16:33.110 --> 00:16:36.580
But i completely disagree.
00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:39.016
I'm really proud of the work that we're doing.
00:16:39.016 --> 00:16:40.484
And obviously, it seems obvious to me
00:16:40.484 --> 00:16:42.653
That the united states department of justice
00:16:42.653 --> 00:16:45.522
Should be justice for all americans,
00:16:45.522 --> 00:16:48.492
Not just some americans or some winners
00:16:48.492 --> 00:16:51.095
Of a victimhood sweepstakes.
00:16:51.095 --> 00:16:52.563
And i think that actually is very popular with americans.
00:16:52.563 --> 00:16:55.399
And we're continuing to do the core focus of our work.
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.835
We're protecting people with disabilities.
00:16:57.835 --> 00:16:59.570
We're even protecting prisoners.
00:16:59.570 --> 00:17:01.371
We're protecting the rights of
00:17:01.371 --> 00:17:02.873
Students in schools, employees in the workplace,
00:17:02.873 --> 00:17:06.877
Contractors, people who are discriminated
00:17:06.877 --> 00:17:11.248
Against, hate crimes, anti-semitism, actually
00:17:11.248 --> 00:17:13.350
All the same stuff that we did before.
00:17:13.350 --> 00:17:14.852
We're doing it, but we're just doing it
00:17:14.852 --> 00:17:16.220
For everybody, not just for some.
00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:17.855
And we're going to keep doing it that way.
00:17:17.855 --> 00:17:19.389
So if you don't like it, too bad.
00:17:19.389 --> 00:17:22.059
This is how it's going to be for the balance
00:17:22.059 --> 00:17:24.428
Of this administration.
00:17:24.428 --> 00:17:25.696
And hopefully beyond, because shouldn't the doj
00:17:25.696 --> 00:17:28.832
Be for all americans? so i'm really proud of that.
00:17:28.832 --> 00:17:30.868
And yeah, this criticism just shows
00:17:30.868 --> 00:17:32.503
That we're over the target andrew.
00:17:32.503 --> 00:17:34.071
It's amazing. and so it's amazing.
00:17:34.071 --> 00:17:35.906
Yeah.
00:17:35.906 --> 00:17:37.107
Like trust me we are this news we they're like standing up
00:17:37.107 --> 00:17:41.078
And clapping before when when we saw it i'm telling you.
00:17:41.078 --> 00:17:44.781
So again, just to reiterate, about 75% of attorneys left
00:17:44.781 --> 00:17:48.318
The doj civil rights division and claim amid claims
00:17:48.318 --> 00:17:51.121
Of a coordinated effort to drive them out.
00:17:51.121 --> 00:17:52.789
No, they quit on their own accord.
00:17:52.789 --> 00:17:54.625
You did not fire them,
00:17:54.625 --> 00:17:55.926
And they claim that you're abandoned abandoning
00:17:55.926 --> 00:17:58.462
The civil rights mission of the doj.
00:17:58.462 --> 00:18:01.165
I think this is great.
00:18:01.165 --> 00:18:02.833
Is it safe to say, harmeet,
00:18:02.833 --> 00:18:04.234
That that the doj civil rights division is now hiring?
00:18:04.234 --> 00:18:07.671
There is, some spots opened up.
00:18:07.671 --> 00:18:09.973
So. okay, so thank you for mentioning that.
00:18:09.973 --> 00:18:12.276
I was itching to say that.
00:18:12.276 --> 00:18:13.343
And so to be clear, we have a huge agenda.
00:18:13.343 --> 00:18:16.947
So it isn't just sort of there's no goal to shrink
00:18:16.947 --> 00:18:20.651
The civil rights division.
00:18:20.651 --> 00:18:21.618
We actually have a huge affirmative agenda.
00:18:21.618 --> 00:18:23.554
I'm suing 14 states.
00:18:23.554 --> 00:18:25.022
Right now, and they're going to be more
00:18:25.022 --> 00:18:26.390
On that list by the end of the week.
00:18:26.390 --> 00:18:28.358
A lot of exciting litigation.
00:18:28.358 --> 00:18:29.660
We just sued minneapolis for, discriminating against,
00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:33.230
Teachers who are not minorities and,
00:18:33.230 --> 00:18:35.599
You know, on and on and on.
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.833
And so we are hiring and so lawyers with at least
00:18:36.833 --> 00:18:40.871
18 months experience who are interested
00:18:40.871 --> 00:18:43.073
In serving a tour of duty to help their country
00:18:43.073 --> 00:18:45.842
Can apply at usa jobs.gov and look for civil rights division.
00:18:45.842 --> 00:18:50.280
We are hiring as fast as we can.
00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:52.282
Qualified candidates who are willing to do the work.
00:18:52.282 --> 00:18:55.319
I just articulated enforce all of our federal civil
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.355
Rights statutes with a lens of all americans
00:18:58.355 --> 00:19:01.825
And this administration's priorities.
00:19:01.825 --> 00:19:03.594
You know, i get it. okay.
00:19:03.594 --> 00:19:04.995
It was like let's say it was 83% white country.
00:19:04.995 --> 00:19:08.165
Now we're basically 50%.
00:19:08.165 --> 00:19:09.900
We're on track to, you know, i think the last census had
00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:12.736
Whites at, what, 56, 57% of the population.
00:19:12.736 --> 00:19:15.939
You give that another ten years, it's going to be,
00:19:15.939 --> 00:19:18.575
Probably under 50%, maybe right around 50%.
00:19:18.575 --> 00:19:21.845
I mean, that's what we're kind of like
00:19:21.845 --> 00:19:22.980
Losing every ten years at a ten year clip.
00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:25.082
When i was, born, i think we were around 80% white still.
00:19:25.082 --> 00:19:28.452
But as this happens, you're going to see,
00:19:28.452 --> 00:19:32.022
I don't know, some of this old way of thinking
00:19:32.022 --> 00:19:34.091
About how white equals bad, oppressive majority.
00:19:34.091 --> 00:19:36.693
Like, it's it's got to necessarily
00:19:36.693 --> 00:19:39.763
We've got to rethink the way this is happening.
00:19:39.763 --> 00:19:41.598
Because if you're just going to say that another
00:19:41.598 --> 00:19:43.333
One of the minorities in this country would like,
00:19:43.333 --> 00:19:45.302
I mean, it might be minority majority, but like, still,
00:19:45.302 --> 00:19:48.105
It's not the same dynamics as it was in the past.
00:19:48.105 --> 00:19:51.141
And and we have to
00:19:51.141 --> 00:19:52.242
We have to make sure everybody is getting protected.
00:19:52.242 --> 00:19:54.611
And one of the ways that you do that sorry.
00:19:54.611 --> 00:19:57.014
If you want to chime in there harmeet, feel free.
00:19:57.014 --> 00:19:59.650
Yeah. so let me talk about that.
00:19:59.650 --> 00:20:01.018
I mean, like, let's be very frank here.
00:20:01.018 --> 00:20:03.086
We have a history of discrimination in our country.
00:20:03.086 --> 00:20:05.622
There are slaves.
00:20:05.622 --> 00:20:06.623
They are not white.
00:20:06.623 --> 00:20:08.025
And they were
00:20:08.025 --> 00:20:09.459
Then kept down
00:20:09.459 --> 00:20:10.627
By mainly southern but not exclusively southern states.
00:20:10.627 --> 00:20:14.264
And so the civil rights act of 1964 included
00:20:14.264 --> 00:20:17.701
A very important law that i personally use
00:20:17.701 --> 00:20:19.636
For most of my career, title seven, and the supreme court
00:20:19.636 --> 00:20:23.373
In 1971 issued a case called, duke power versus griggs.
00:20:23.373 --> 00:20:28.245
And this is about a janitor who allegedly was impacted
00:20:28.245 --> 00:20:31.415
Negatively by some policies and hiring at, duke power.
00:20:31.415 --> 00:20:35.185
And that started this concept of disparate impact.
00:20:35.185 --> 00:20:38.255
So, in other words, you no longer necessarily had to prove
00:20:38.255 --> 00:20:41.792
In your discrimination case, whatever the context was,
00:20:41.792 --> 00:20:44.895
That you were actually being
00:20:44.895 --> 00:20:46.396
The victim of intentional discrimination,
00:20:46.396 --> 00:20:48.665
We have now issued a guidance that says that this 50 years
00:20:48.665 --> 00:20:52.235
Of discrimination against, frankly, law
00:20:52.235 --> 00:20:56.406
Abiding practices in businesses and and recipients is over.
00:20:56.406 --> 00:21:00.010
It is harming a lot of people.
00:21:00.010 --> 00:21:01.812
It is wrong.
00:21:01.812 --> 00:21:03.080
And you should go back to having
00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:04.981
To prove intentional discrimination.
00:21:04.981 --> 00:21:06.616
By the way, there may be statistical
00:21:06.616 --> 00:21:08.352
Cases to be brought there
00:21:08.352 --> 00:21:09.619
That so we're not banning the use of statistics.
00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:12.389
What we're saying
00:21:12.389 --> 00:21:13.457
Is we're not going to let people use statistics
00:21:13.457 --> 00:21:15.859
To assume a default of discrimination,
00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:18.428
And people are going to have to prove their cases.
00:21:18.428 --> 00:21:20.897
And that includes the government.
00:21:20.897 --> 00:21:21.965
Sometimes that includes me.
00:21:21.965 --> 00:21:23.600
If i have to bring a case against a school
00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:26.770
District or against a university,
00:21:26.770 --> 00:21:29.606
I have to use my evidence
00:21:29.606 --> 00:21:32.743
And prove the case, not just have a default
00:21:32.743 --> 00:21:35.612
Assumption of discrimination,
00:21:35.612 --> 00:21:36.980
Because that has hurt so many people in our country.
00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:39.750
It has eroded merit based hiring.
00:21:39.750 --> 00:21:42.719
It has put companies on the defensive.
00:21:42.719 --> 00:21:44.821
It has encouraged and now institutionalized
00:21:44.821 --> 00:21:47.257
Quotas from every institution,
00:21:47.257 --> 00:21:50.827
Including the boardrooms
00:21:50.827 --> 00:21:51.995
Of america's largest corporations,
00:21:51.995 --> 00:21:53.997
Because they're all government contractors.
00:21:53.997 --> 00:21:56.133
And so this is so damaging.
00:21:56.133 --> 00:21:58.135
And if we can just reverse that back
00:21:58.135 --> 00:21:59.636
To an assumption that americans are good,
00:21:59.636 --> 00:22:01.805
Generally speaking, we follow the law.
00:22:01.805 --> 00:22:03.974
If something bad happened to you, prove it
00:22:03.974 --> 00:22:06.276
With intentional discrimination evidence.
00:22:06.276 --> 00:22:08.478
I think that is really a great development for all americans.
00:22:08.478 --> 00:22:11.381
Well, god bless you.
00:22:11.381 --> 00:22:12.249
Harmeet k dhillon, assistant
00:22:12.249 --> 00:22:14.985
