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.
