Discussion on Discrimination and Politics

many young men are, are, you know, kind of responding to is that they,

there's

so many pressures now on that labor market that just didn't

exist when a lot of those tone deaf Republicans that you mentioned-

Right

... when they were coming up, when they were getting involved in

politics.

And it, it's just a different world in so many

ways.

And yeah, you know, you can talk about the generational gap,

but it actually is

true. The world has changed a lot.

It's changed a whole lot. And I mean, look, one of the things that,

that changed,

has changed a whole lot, um, for a long time for the worse

and now for the

better, is that we institutionalized

anti-white, anti-male discrimination in this country.

I mean, if, if you just look at the way

that we spoke about white men in the

United States of America, not me obviously, not the president,

but like Joe

Biden, like it's actually amazing-

Well, I mean, that being said, you know, you did call them a bunch of hillbillies.

Saying something.

No, I said I'm a hillbilly.

Hey, hey.

I'm proud of that, man.

Right. Right.

And, and yeah, like the hillbillies are a part of the coalition,

but we're a proud

part of the coalition, and I don't think we, we don't,

we don't shy away from that

term. But look man, you, you institutionalized for a very

long time a way of talking about our fellow Americans that

was totally disgusting. And I was actually talking with a friend of

mine, uh,

about this, and he was like, "If you look at the way the Biden

administration

discriminated against people in job applications, college applications,

the way that we just allowed explicitly racist

discrimination against our laws to become part of the normal practice

of our government, of our admissions policies,

of our private corporations," like

it's kind of insane that we didn't have like a revolution

in this country. Uh, we explicitly discriminated

against people, and it's one of the things

that I'm proudest of in the Trump

administration. Again, there's a lot more work to do,

but like we're not

discriminating against people, Black or white,

based on the color of their skin in

job applications. You're- we're telling the universities,

"You're not allowed to

discriminate against white guys, against dudes,

against anyone." We don't want

discrimination against anybody, but we, we did allow that discrimination in this

country for a long time. So what I would tell like young men who

are pissed off is

you should absolutely be advocating for more.

You should absolutely be demanding more.

But I would also recognize the wins because they are out there.

Mr. Vice President, thank you so much.

Good to see you, Jack.
