CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): You know, one of these guys tweeted out the other day -- I can't remember which one of the clueless fools from the NBA tweeted this out -- he said diversity is our strength. And I said, "man that is a bad argument for the NBA." The NBA is not very diverse. That is not the argument I would be making for the NBA. Again, I'm actually ok with it because it's a meritocracy. The National Basketball Association is anywhere between 75 to 80 percent Black. And that's ok. It's fine. Actually, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying, don't say diversity is your strength. If diversity is your strength, then have Affirmative Action where you must have a certain amount of white people in the National Basketball Association. And you know what would happen? It would discriminate against Black people. Because Black people tend to be more athletically inclined to be good at basketball. It's just the way it is.
