Starting point is 00:00:00 Important subject today. So in the Congress of the United States, there are racists, not like there were before the Civil War and, you know, other times throughout our history. But they're a racist. Both all ethnic groups. And let me define what that is. So a racist is somebody who makes jokes. who makes judgments about important things based on skin color, how you look, how you were born. And there are a lot of pejorative words, the N-word, every ethnic group has those words thrown
Starting point is 00:00:50 at them, and it's all very disturbing. Now, there are two types of racism. There are the racism that is threatening, and that's against the law. So if somebody threatens you, you can have a cop arrest them if you record it and you got it on some from proof of it. The other racist is what I call passive racism. And this is where Congress comes in. So people get elected in various districts around the country. by, there are all-white districts who would never elect a black.
Starting point is 00:01:34 And they're all black districts who would never elect a white. Not that many anymore, but they exist. So I'm going to spotlight three congresspeople tonight for you. First one is Jasmine Crockett. All right, she is a congressperson from Texas, 30th district. That's the Dallas area. It's been in Congress for two years, young woman, and she really uses the race card a lot. Will it take?
Starting point is 00:02:10 It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost so far. And I think that that's a natural fear because we just want to win. So there's a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let's go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I'm just saying. Okay, safest white boy. All right. So if you said the safest black boy, you'd be, you'd lose your job.
Starting point is 00:02:47 But Ms. Crockett feels that she can categorize people in these. I would like to interview her, but she'd never do it, but we'll put in a call, but she'd never come up against me. But she seems to be a smart woman, you know? It's like Ocasio-Cortez in New York. These are not dumb people, but she looks like she's using that race card to advance herself. Second one is the infamous Elon Omar. You know her. She'd been around since 2019, five, six years.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Minnesota's fifth congressional. She's a rough, rough person. Roll the tape on her. Our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths the deaths within this country. We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies
Starting point is 00:03:56 to fight the radicalization of white men. There isn't a statistic available anywhere in this country that says white men are causing most of the deaths. If you look at the FBI stats, that's not even close. Miss Elmore, but it says care. care okay she is hard for me to describe but I don't think if I said she's hateful that would be inaccurate there's another guy Rowe Kana he is in California 17th congressional district that's Silicon Valley he has been there since 2017 eight years and Kana's a Yale law school We're at. And Kahn is totally different on this stuff. Roll the tape. Omar, too, in her just on a substantive level, I think that white Americans have done enormous
Starting point is 00:05:02 things for our freedom. I mean, who were the people who scaled the cliffs of Normandy? Many of them were white men. And it does, it's not just, I disagree politically. I disagree substantively. This is a great country. It is a kind country. It is a decent country. It is a country that has allowed an Indian-American son of immigrants of Hindu faith to go represent the most economically prosperous place in the world. That would not be possible anywhere else. Now, if Roe Kana can say something like that, which is absolutely true,
Starting point is 00:05:38 how does Crockett and Omar answer? They answer by falling back on historical grievance. That's what this whole thing is about. So you take a country that was founded by war, revolution, 1776, and then molded up until 1789 in a system of government based on a constitution. And you take that country and you pick out the horrendous things that happened in this history. without any kind of context. So I write history books.
Starting point is 00:06:25 My first book was killing Lincoln. And I put the Civil War and the slave trade into a context so that Abraham Lincoln, when he came in to be president, couldn't stop the war. And here's why he couldn't stop it. History, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay, there were,
Starting point is 00:06:46 There were absolute reasons why the South wanted to do what it did. Now, are those reasons defensible? No. You don't enslave human beings. I'm sorry. It doesn't matter what year it is. You don't. And then there were Native Americans.
Starting point is 00:07:05 I wrote Killing Crazy Horse. Okay? You could see the clash and how it developed. All right. Between the whites who were moving west and the Native Americans, who had a totally different lifestyle, totally different communities clashing with these Europeans. This is all history and horrible things happened in our history. But you have to balance.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Okay? So in the United States, as Connor points out, frees billions of people all over the world. Billions with a bait. Okay, knocks out Hitler, knocks out Tojo in Japan, out the Soviet Union, knocks out Saddam Hussein. I mean, who else do that? We had help, but we did it. Our blood and treasure did it. But these people, and then you get into, well, you had slavery, so therefore, in the year 2025, blacks are still persecuted. In some cases, as they are. Not a perfect world. But we have a now codified law that if you are a minority,
Starting point is 00:08:22 not just African American, and you are getting hosed, and you know a lawyer, you can do some severe damage to who's ever persecuting you. I mean severe damage. Now, that doesn't justify people of color being treated disrespectfully. Doesn't. Okay? But again, it's not a perfect world. If I see that, I stop it, no matter where it is, just as a good Samaritan. I won't tolerate it. And I wish there were more people as assertive as I am, and I'm a powerful guy, I can do it. But you don't base your assessment of your country based upon what happened in the 19th century.
Starting point is 00:09:12 that's insane. But these people, they don't even think about that. They use emotion, racial emotion, to advance themselves. You see what I'm talking about here? That's wrong. That's wrong. And there are white cooks who do that, but they don't get any traction. Isn't that?
Starting point is 00:09:35 That's one thing I'm so happy about. But these right-wing militia people and all of this, there's no traction there. Remember in the beginning of the Biden administration where Biden himself said, oh, the biggest danger of the country is right-wing militia. I'm going, where? I see thousands of people a year. I don't see any of these guys. Nobody lives near me that's a white militia.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Where are they? Oh, no. It's like the Black Panthers. Not a lot of Black Panthers around anymore. You know, extremism seems to be on the decline. Thanks to guys like Roe Conno, and I salute you, Congressman.
