00:00They were teaching people that our country is a horrible place, it's a racist place,
00:05and they were teaching people to hate our country.
00:08And I'm not going to allow that to happen.
00:09Vice President Biden?
00:10Nobody's doing that.
00:12He's just he's a racist.
00:25This month, your administration directed federal agencies to end racial sensitivity training
00:33that addresses white privilege or critical race theory.
00:37Why did you decide to do that to end racial sensitivity training?
00:41And do you believe that there is systemic racism in this country, sir?
00:45I ended it because it's racist.
00:47I ended it because a lot of people were complaining that they were asked to do things that were
00:52absolutely insane, that it was a radical revolution that was taking place in our military,
01:00in our schools, all over the place.
01:02And you know it.
01:03And so does everybody else.
01:04And he would know.
01:05What is radical about racial sensitivity training?
01:08If you are a certain person, you had no status in life.
01:13It was sort of a reversal.
01:14And if you look at the people, we were paying people hundreds of thousands of dollars to
01:18teach very bad ideas and frankly, very sick ideas.
01:22And really, they were teaching people to hate our country.
01:26And I'm not going to do that.
01:27I'm not going to allow that to happen.
01:29We have to go back to the core values of this country.
01:33They were teaching people that our country is a horrible place.
01:36It's a racist place.
01:38And they were teaching people to hate our country.
01:40And I'm not going to allow that to happen.
01:42Vice President Biden?
01:43Nobody's doing that.
01:44He's just he's a racist.
01:46You just don't.
01:47Here's the deal.
01:49Let him finish.
01:51The fact is that there is racial insensitivity.
01:54People have to be made aware of what other people feel like, what what insults them,
02:01what is demeaning to them.
02:03It's important to people know they don't want to.
02:05Many people don't want to hurt other people's feelings.
02:07But it's it makes a big difference.
02:10It makes a gigantic difference in the way a child is able to grow up and have a sense
02:14of self-esteem.
02:15It's a little bit like how this guy and his friends look down on so many people.
02:20They look down their nose on people like Irish Catholics like me and grew up in Scranton.
02:25They look down on people who don't have money.
02:27They look down on people who are of a different faith.
02:30They look down on people who are a different color.
02:33In fact, we're all Americans.
02:34The only way we're going to bring this country together is bring everybody together.
02:38There's nothing we cannot do if we do it together.
02:41We can take this on and we can defeat racism in America.
02:45We can take this on and we can defeat racism in America.
