The Charlie Kirk Show on Thursday was hosted by those who were close to the Turning Point USA founder who was assassinated on September 10, during which they dove into clips and quotes being spread by Democrats and those in the media which were taken out of context or lied about.

The first clips played were from the Thoughtcrime podcast, in which the group was discussing diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring for pilots in the airline industry. In the clip, Kirk was heard saying, “like I’m sorry, if I see a black pilot I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.”

He later added, “that’s not who I am, that’s not what I believe.”

The comments came in response to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby committing to having 50% of those in pilot classes being women or people of color.

He noted that 19% were from those groups at that time.

“Why is that a really dumb thing to do? First of all, meritocracy,” said Charlie Kirk Show Executive Producer Andrew Kolvet.

“Charlie believed in meritocracy. Let the best man or woman win.”

He noted that just 9% of people who are working to become pilots are women or people of color.

“So that means that you’re essentially trying to fill 50% of the spots from 9% of the population.

“So Charlie was making the point that if you are going to pull 50% of your pilots from nine or 10% of the population of new pilots, then you’re going to have to do something that is not in favor of meritocracy.

“You’re going to have to lower your standards.”
