KIRK (HOST): Again, I don’t want overly politicized it. That’s the left’s job. What the left did yesterday was they were saying "Well, OceanGate has a history of donating to Republicans," as if that’s like a super relevant thing, right? There are six people that are running out of oxygen, thirteen thousand to surface, we think, and the Daily Beast sends out a story, but you have to know about their political donations. These people are repugnant, repulsive, and disgusting for publishing an article like that. It is, however, separate to say that, do you get your best in life, do you get excellence, if you care about things that don’t matter?
If it is true, this person tragically passes away, the CEO of OceanGate and he says that he was choosing and selecting his personnel based on not wanting to have fifty-year-old white guys, then you could make the argument, albeit rather cruel and blunt, he killed himself and his customers with wokeness.
...
Let this be a warning when we say that, "we want to hire more Black pilots." Hold on, slow down. People could die if you embrace the poison of wokeness.
