Tucker Battles Ethan Bearman: Why Shouldn’t the Employer Have a Right To Ask Employees To Speak English?

‘Language is not an inherent characteristic’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "I know. That is one of our core weaknesses that it’s not the official language. Doesn’t the employer have a right to say you have to wear certain clothing, you have to dress and behave in a certain way? Language is not an inherent characteristic. It’s not a racial category. So why shouldn’t the employer have a right to ask it of the employees?"
BEARMAN: "Again, if I’m not intacting, they do — interacting they do have the right to affect how it’s operating. If I stock shelves. If you and I are in the back and I want to start speaking Swedish with you, what does it have to do with how the business is functioning?"
CARLSON: "I don’t know."
BEARMAN: "It doesn’t."
CARLSON: "Isn’t that — I don’t know. Maybe it is. That is a decision that should be up to the people who own and run the business, not some moron bureaucrat in Washington, right?"
BEARMAN: "I totally disagree with you on this one. Here is why. It was the soviets that had rusify the country they dominated. The Chinese says you have to speak Mand Erin. We don’t want to be like that."
CARLSON: "San Diego which I’m from is not an outer region. It’s part of the continental United States. We didn’t conquer it. It’s a state. It’s not a province or a territory or occupied nation seeking freedom. It is part of the united States. You know what this really is, the left seeks to divide the country along racial, I can Nick and cultural lines. It’s their full-time job. Is there a single country in the world that is bilingual or multilingual that is not at war with itself?"
