Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here live from the Bitcoin.com studio. Donald Trump just signed one of the most significant executive orders in 50 years. It's two words that aren't talked about a lot.

The media onslaught against the Trump administration is intensifying. And on campus, there are some people that are getting a little impatient. They say, I want more wins from President Trump.
I want more wins. I'm not that sympathetic to that, to be perfectly honest, because what President Trump did in even the first week is more than what some presidents have done in four years. And it's not even yet been 100 days. the kind of impatient, let's just say, attitude doesn't resonate with me. And it's also not rooted at all in if you're watching the daily news cycle.
We talked about how yesterday President Trump is trying to do the largest deportation effort in American history. He's being enjoined. We're working through how to solve that. He's trying to solve the Russian-Ukrainian war. But we are drill, baby, drill. The southern border is completely secured. We're going to get a massive tax bill. We have the executive order on no men and female sports.

Chapter 2: What executive order did President Trump sign regarding disparate impact?
Literally every standard imaginable has created, has some sort of disparate impact against a group. Nobody on this planet has ever designed a test Or a standard that men, women, blacks, whites, Asians, Hispanics, Catholic, Jews, gays, straights do so equally well. The very idea is an absurd fantasy. You're going to have different outcomes.
But what disparate impact does, it says the test itself is wrong. It is a loophole that you could drive a semi-truck through. It's a little sliver. You say, oh, disparate impact. Oh, what's the big deal here? No, no, no, no. This has been exploited by DEI actors for the last 30 years.
So what we have is a world where the federal government can go after any company, any school or any state or any local government that they want to for discrimination using the Civil Rights Act. by deciding that whatever their hiring standards are, they don't meet a business necessity. So who decides the necessity?
Well, not business owners, not entrepreneurs, not the people that actually own the property. No. Instead, federal bureaucrats and judges decide it. Since the feds can go after anyone... for anything. Everyone now lives in fear. People have tried to come after Turning Point USA unsuccessfully for disparate impact. Oh, we don't like your criteria for this. And they try to do some EEOC complaint.
Thankfully, we won all those complaints. And this is where so much of DEI comes in. So because you're so afraid of big government coming in, the Leviathan of the anti-racist state, they try to impress companies, impress the government, show how committed we are to diversity. Companies know that they can be attacked at any time on the grounds of disparate impact.
So they try to look good by having a massive DEI department. Don't come after us. Go after some of the other companies. Sometimes this works. Sometimes it doesn't. The system has imposed a massive regulatory and efficiency burden on the American economy. DEI, in my opinion, is the greatest silent regulation on American prosperity. DEI, affirmative action, disparate impact.
That is the evil trinity. That is the sinister triad, the three horsemen of the death of merit. DEI, affirmative action, and disparate impact. Most people don't even know what those words would mean. Maybe affirmative action five or 10 years ago, but it's been enveloping. businesses, entrepreneurs for quite some time. Companies are terrified of a disparate impact complaint.
The system has imposed a massive regulatory and efficiency burden. It's turned into a war against merit and against freedom. We basically made it illegal for companies to simply try to hire the most talented people for a given job. And don't be surprised, our companies are not as innovative as they used to be. This needed to change, and now the Trump administration is finally changing it.
To go deeper, we've actually seen a decline in standards and performance. In 2022, the Los Angeles Unified School District removed requirements for algebra proficiency. Why? Because they said black students don't do as well in algebra. So after they removed the algebra proficiency requirement,
