Rachel PETE send it over to you Rachel. Thank you. Rick, the Salvation Army going woke over resource guide. Titled lets talk about racism. The document released Earlierner Year quote desire at the salvation lament repent and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held and actions committed PETE. But the group is denying reports that its asking donors to apologize for their racism, saying in its statement in part quote. The salvation is not asking donors to apologize for skin color and we do not endorse any philosophy or ideology. Such claims are simply false and juryinjure. Our mission to preach gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in his name without discrimination here to react, is Fox news. Contributor, Joe Concha Joe good Morning, happy Thanksgiving great to see you. You know the salvation army you think of the red kettle outside you think of Christmas. You think of giving
you dont think of woke or a statement like this on their website. They are trying to deny it. What do you think? Well, its a he said she said situation at this point, but the fact that they even had to address those reports out there that tells you that there is a there there. If you go to social media now its ugly, a lot of people saying I always donated to the Salvation Army, but im not going to do anymore after they got woke by telling people. This is true based on their race. They need to apologize, not because of their specific actions, but because of the color of their skin. That literally flies in the face of that mission statement that you just read. I just feel sorry for all of those folks out there from the Salvation Army the boots zero ground, so it speak, standing out there in the freezing cold ringing that bell all day all night, with nothing to do with this possible edict from the top. Many with you again would he dont know quite know whether it is true or whether it is not, but so much wokeness going on these days with corporations and even charities its why people
are inclined that may be a thing by the way. If you look at Salvation Army executive, page Rachel, that team is comprised overwhelmingly of white people, look at your own hiring practices first before possibly Pieing tell voters what they should apologize for. Rachel Marxism was created by a white german guy. This whole thing is so crazy. I have a friend, her name is Debbie. Every year they get together their family and their Christmas tradition. Is they go and rings the Salvation Army Bell? I know Debbie. If she knows about this story, she might not go out and rings that Bell in the cold Wisconsin you know winter anymore, and so its not just the donors, its the volunteers and again. Why are these people at the very top making decisions that they know are just going to divide the country at a time of Christmas, where we are supposed to all come together? Yeah, I think Rachel. The company needs to do a little bit more here on the communications front and needs to condemn critical
race theory, because you think of the greatest civil rights leader of any time, Martin Luther King jr- and he said it best- dont judge others by the color of their skin, but by the content of their color crt, teaches the exact opposite of that. So the Salvation Army should come out and say we do not embrace this. We dont embrace, for instance, you have kids, I have kids. Pete has kids our kids mine as young as kindergarten, possibly being taught to judge others through the Prism of race instead of the content of their character. So hopefully they go out and do that I have a feeling. They will hope that the news cycle sweeps us away and donations keep come in. Unfortunately, the people that get impacted ultimately because of this will be those who need that money. Most Rachel PETE its true, I feel like at some level. They must have thought they could check some sort of awoke Box, Rachel or hired someone PETE sit there and ultimately, in this Kay and age. These things are seen and they mean
something to people Joe just like the charity means something if you stand for that, I mean by the way, their name the Salvation Army. We are all in need of salvation because we are all sinners and all flawed to include racism or sexism or whateverrism. You want to pick feels like a bad move for them. Joe last word, real quick last word is happy thanksgiving to both of you great year, for both of you obviously PETE with your book and Rachel. I was on with your husband yesterday. Your book is now number two on the New York Times best seller list. That is just incredible. I believe this is your first joint book together. That shows you how many people love watching you both and the power of this network. As far as you want to say something in a book, people will buy it. I think I have to write a book now. I think thats, my new years.
