[00:39] Yes, ma'am. How are you? Hello. I'm
[00:40] good. And you? My name is Leila and I've
[00:43] recently watched three videos of yours.
[00:45] Best top 10 Charlie Kirk debate moments
[00:47] of 2024. students students enraged that
[00:50] I say college is a scam and 10
[00:52] unforgettable Charlie Kirk debates that
[00:54] shook 2024 and I picked three different
[00:57] topics that I think are important to me
[00:59] which comes down to immigration
[01:01] affirmative action and DEI and um
[01:04] college is a scam but the one I want to
[01:06] talk to you about the most is um
[01:07] affirmative action and DEI and in these
[01:10] videos you have said quote for quote um
[01:16] white males have high test scores white
[01:18] males have or white males shouldn't have
[01:20] to be penalized. You did acknowledge and
[01:22] say that people of color come from lower
[01:25] socio socioeconomic backgrounds that do
[01:27] not prioritize education much, but
[01:29] instead of making a suggestion on how to
[01:32] help those communities and um continue
[01:35] to like build those communities up, um
[01:38] you continue to say that our
[01:39] institutions are becoming less
[01:40] excellent. And I'm confused as to what
[01:42] your definition of excellence is. Is
[01:44] that because white males aren't
[01:46] necessarily in your opinion getting
[01:47] accepted as in a higher rate even though
[01:50] they technically are because 41% of
[01:52] college admitted students are of the
[01:54] white race? It should be higher than
[01:55] that. Yeah. Based on what where are you
[01:59] getting the stat? I just want to So the
[02:01] sup it's a good question. The Supreme
[02:02] Court did a whole case on this and it
[02:04] ruled against affirmative action and we
[02:06] saw the books of Harvard. So I don't
[02:08] want to cut you off. May I know the So
[02:10] like for future reference so I can
[02:11] understand where you're coming from and
[02:12] get more context. Could I know the
[02:14] Supreme Court case? Yeah. So, it um the
[02:16] name uh it had it boy two and a half
[02:20] years ago. Um I think it was something
[02:22] out of California. I I someone look it
[02:24] up. You could use Grock or chat. If
[02:26] somebody could please look that up for
[02:27] me. Thank you. So, so we saw that we saw
[02:29] the data out of Harvard. Harvard was the
[02:32] test case and effectively I'm
[02:35] approximating but a white male had to
[02:37] get about a 30% higher test score to
[02:41] even be considered than an equivalent
[02:43] black student. And when was this over 30
[02:45] years?
[02:47] Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think so. So
[02:50] it was so basically for a black student
[02:52] they could do 30% worse on their
[02:54] standardized scores than a equivalent
[02:56] white student. You don't think that has
[02:57] any outside factor to do with it? Well,
[02:59] that's not the point. The point is
[03:00] whether or not But how is that not the
[03:02] point? Because I don't believe we should
[03:03] accommodate based on outside factors.
[03:05] You do? Well, I do because I believe in
[03:08] progression and I feel like you have
[03:09] stated in multiple of your videos, which
[03:11] I do have a quote. Fair enough. I'm just
[03:12] making sure we understand we disagree. I
[03:15] I don't think we should change the rules
[03:16] of the game to accommodate. What were
[03:18] the rules of the game? Well, the rules
[03:19] of the game are that you should be
[03:20] treated fairly and equally, right?
[03:22] That's an American principle and I agree
[03:24] with that completely. Got it. So
[03:25] therefore, a white male should not be
[03:28] treated differently than a black male.
[03:30] But when you come from a different
[03:32] matter, but what but the equal treatment
[03:35] or not, it's not whether or not you were
[03:36] said mean things when you grew up or
[03:38] whether your dad was a gangbanger.
[03:39] Doesn't matter. Well, I'm not saying
[03:41] that that is that's not the outside
[03:43] factors I'm talking about. It doesn't
[03:44] matter. But can I explain where I'm
[03:47] coming from? But understand, I'm going
[03:47] to finish. I'll let you talk. Equal
[03:49] treatment is regardless of any sort of
[03:51] Saab story you could put on before it.
[03:53] equal treatment test score test score
[03:56] and I completely agree with that but I
[03:58] also come from a predominantly white
[03:59] town so I understand what you're what
[04:01] you're trying to say in my district we
[04:03] have so much funding and I live in the
[04:06] Florida Keys so there's a lot of funding
[04:08] that comes to my school and you can
[04:10] drive 30 miles north and you get end up
[04:13] in Homestead where they have a fraction
[04:15] of the funding that we have and they
[04:17] don't have as much of the same um test
[04:19] like testing instructors and people to
[04:22] help them and have as much of the same
[04:24] outside resources and then you can keep
[04:25] going another 30 miles and you end up in
[04:27] Miami where all the private schools are
[04:29] and they get even more funding than
[04:31] where I come from and they and not that
[04:33] I use obviously I ended up where I am
[04:35] today because I continue to push through
[04:37] and I have the and I didn't let any
[04:40] outside factors affect me but at the end
[04:42] of the day I kept going and some people
[04:44] don't have that same ability and I also
[04:47] it it doesn't again first of all in
[04:49] Florida every public school gets the
[04:51] same amount of money okay that's there's
[04:52] there's equal funding. Yeah, but across
[04:55] the board, but you also get donations
[04:56] from the people in your community. Fair
[04:58] enough. But Florida has and I know for a
[04:59] fact that my community gets many
[05:01] donations. Florida has the most you
[05:03] could use equitable funding structure of
[05:05] any school and has universal school
[05:06] choice basically. So that's number one.
[05:08] Number two, explain to me why when we're
[05:11] admitting people for a job, should it
[05:13] just be what's on that piece of paper or
[05:15] should should race play into the factor?
[05:17] So I know that your argument is um
[05:20] mediocracy. I forgot. I don't really
[05:23] Okay. Yeah. And I know that and I also
[05:25] believe in quotas as well, but I don't
[05:27] think that it should be one in one, but
[05:29] they should go hand in hand because at
[05:31] the end of the day, if I have just as
[05:32] good as a resume as somebody next to me,
[05:35] I want to I want to understand where
[05:36] you're getting that jobs are just taking
[05:39] people because they're a woman, because
[05:40] they are black, I just want to see and I
[05:42] understand what you're trying to say
[05:44] because of, of course, with affirmative
[05:45] action and DEI that does give them an
[05:47] upper hand. But where does it say that
[05:49] you take somebody just because of that
[05:51] color? All over the place. Capitol
[05:52] Street Partners back in the summer 2022
[05:54] said that they will not hire white men
[05:56] for internships. That's one example of
[05:57] thousands I because of how many people
[05:59] are in their how many people they wanted
[06:01] to be. It doesn't again that's
[06:02] irrelevant. It does not matter if you
[06:04] have an internship and everyone is a
[06:05] white man. If they're all qualified,
[06:07] that's great. Doesn't matter if they're
[06:08] all Asian or all black. It should be
[06:10] what merit qualification gets the people
[06:13] into that position. And of course, but
[06:14] if a but if this say the school only
[06:17] wanted white people to no no good like e
[06:19] excellent qualified people and if they
[06:21] end up majority white who cares why does
[06:23] that matter? I don't think that that
[06:25] matters. I'm saying that affirmative
[06:27] action. I'm saying that but I'm not
[06:29] saying for the white male or the black
[06:30] race or the Asian race or the Indian
[06:32] race or you understand what I'm saying?
[06:34] I'm saying that it I'm saying that it
[06:36] works in favor for any race and any sex.
[06:40] It works and it does 1,000% and I don't
[06:43] understand that information. It is
[06:45] anti-white racism that was in the fiber
[06:47] of our laws that is now getting away
[06:49] thanks to President Donald Trump where
[06:51] if you were a white man especially to
[06:53] apply for internships jobs going to
[06:55] college that it was significantly harder
[06:56] to get those jobs to get into those
[06:59] practices because there were quotas that
[07:01] made it easier for people other skin
[07:02] colors with lower standards to be able
[07:04] to get those positions. We agree there's
[07:06] only so many slots in a college, right?
[07:09] There's only so many positions in an
[07:10] internship. There's only it's a it's a
[07:12] limited supply. I completely agree. It
[07:14] is scarcity. So in scarce when you have
[07:16] a scarce resource, you have to decide
[07:18] how you're going to divvy up that scarce
[07:19] resource. In a DEI model, they're going
[07:22] to say, "Okay, we're not going to do any
[07:24] more than 30% white and then we'll do
[07:26] 15%." And so you kind of come up with
[07:28] these quotas. Therefore, they end up
[07:30] saying, "Well, what happens if the 15%
[07:32] black is not qualified?" They don't
[07:34] care, which ends up happening far too
[07:36] often. or what happens if the um you
[07:38] know, can you give me examples of cases?
[07:40] Oh, yeah. Air traffic control is
[07:42] actually a really good example. We now
[07:43] have all the documents that show that we
[07:45] went on a hiring spree to have more
[07:47] black air traffic controllers. There's a
[07:49] huge lawsuit about this 15, 16, 17 where
[07:52] the standards for air traffic control
[07:53] have dropped so dramatically and you're
[07:54] kind of seeing some of the effects of
[07:56] that potentially. Um and again, it's in
[07:58] almost every single corporate practice,
[08:00] every single college institution. But it
[08:02] just kind of comes down to more of a
[08:03] moral argument that I have, which is
[08:04] that if you have something based on
[08:06] merit, I want to I I don't care if it's
[08:09] all black, all Asian, all white. It's an
[08:11] excellent group is what I want, not a
[08:14] diverse group. I care about excellence,
[08:16] not diversity. Cuz I do not believe
[08:18] diversity is a strength. I believe unity
[08:20] is a strength. I believe the pursuit of
[08:23] higher purposes is a strength. Does that
[08:25] make sense? Yeah, I do understand where
[08:27] you're coming from. I feel like I do
[08:29] agree with some of the things that you
[08:30] did just say and I may have to do some
[08:32] more research on the things that you
[08:33] said before, but I guess we can agree to
[08:36] disagree for the time being. Thank you
[08:37] for your time. Appreciate it. Thank you
[08:38] very much.
