Las Vegas: Let’s Blame White Men
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of Renaissance Radio.
And, as usual, we have our commentator Paul Kersey in the studio.
And I'm sure, ladies and gentlemen, you are appreciating the high fidelity of an in-studio appearance here.
Now, as usual, it's been a packed week.
There is never a dull moment when you're interested in race, immigration, and white advocacy in the United States of America.
Now the big story, of course, is the Las Vegas shooting.
This was a shooting in which we had, lo and behold, a white man who killed 59 people and wounded hundreds of others.
And it's quite interesting that, as Ann Coulter pointed out, in the absence of an explicit motive, the press has found the motive.
Namely, he's a white man.
Yeah, you know, we don't even get into the details of Steve Paddock because this is such a horrific, horrific incident.
I mean, Mr.
Taylor, when you think about us as Americans and people from all across the country who are going to Vegas for this concert, 22,000 people show up.
Almost everyone that was killed was a white person.
Almost everyone that was wounded was a white person.
From the images I've seen in this crowd, it looks like the audience is 98% Caucasian.
And yet...
It's hard to even fathom what has just transpired here in terms of this just utter tragedy.
And yet, as you just pointed out, in the absence of a motive, Newsweek comes out and says something along the lines of, quote, White men have committed more mass shootings than any other group, unquote.
Of course, we are the majority population.
We play more rounds of golf than any other group.
There are more white people that love their children than any other group.
There are more white people who help old people across the street than any other group.
But this is, of course, a red herring because if you look at the statistics for mass shootings, and Mother Jones, bless their hearts, bless their little lefty souls, has actually done a very comprehensive accumulation of it Although it's biased because they classify Arabs and other off-whites as whites, if you look through their statistics, you'll find that non-whites are about 60% more likely than whites to commit mass shootings.
This is an irrefutable fact.
But this doesn't stop Newsweek from basically blaming this whole thing on white people.
And Piers Morgan, boy, there's another great American patriot for you, isn't he?
He says, if the Vegas shooter were a Muslim, laws would change in a heartbeat.
But an old white guy? Forget it.
Well, wait a minute. We have had Muslim shooters.
Did the laws change? No.
He is, once again, blaming this whole white condition for everything that goes wrong.
These people are incorrigible.
Not only do the laws not change, but in the case of the Orlando mass shooting, the motive is completely buried.
We know for a fact that the shooter did this for ISIS. It was a Muslim terror attack.
And then it was tried... Then the attempt was made to say, I think it was this gay Muslim who was jilted and he's going to do the attacks.
You know, Mr. Taylor, one of the more shocking headlines that I saw on Twitter was CNN saying, can we finally talk about the rage of white men?
You saw all these weird headlines popping up at Salon, all these sites that were so excited about the fact that, as Ann Coulter said, in the absence of a motive, they were able to pin this upon all white people as if this was somehow a transgression That you, myself, that most of the people listening are somehow responsible for and even crazier.
A guy like Jimmy Kimmel.
Let's take race out of the equation real quick and let's talk about our liberties and our rights.
A guy like Jimmy Kimmel goes on ABC and basically cries and talks about how horrible this was.
And the next night, he blames NRA owners and all gun owners as if they have a hand and as if they were a willing participant in this horror, horror, horror show that transpired in Vegas.
To me, that's even a slippier slope because you and I are both proud gun owners, legal gun owners.
And to think that we are now being lumped in with this terror attack.
Well, again, again, if you have a guy like the Orlando shooting and any other Muslim who goes on the rampage, this is not representative of that group.
This is one crazed individual.
And so now we have a white guy.
Oh, he's not a crazed individual.
He represents not only every white man, but as you say, every single gun owner.
Just the absolute willingness of these people to twist the facts, to have a double standard at every opportunity.
As one of my friends pointed out, if these people didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have standards at all.
But this is so consistent that even some of them hopefully will begin to recognize the folly of their arguments about this.
If I could, to the establishment, social policy can only be based on individual behavior if the crime is committed by a white person.
In the absence of a white person, it is an anomaly that needs to be forgotten about quickly and scrubbed of any of the pernicious details that might perpetuate stereotypes, as in the shooting in Orlando, and then more importantly, the one that, mind-blowingly, is still being...
Disregarded by the news, by the mainstream media, as if it never happened.
And that's the shooting in Tennessee, where we know for a fact it was a racial attack.
It was retribution for Dylann Roof.
And this story doesn't even exist on anyone's radar, except for insidious racists who don't have...
Who don't deserve rights of free speech.
Well, the people who are guilty of this ultimate crime of pattern recognition, you know, we're the bad guys.
But here, this is a great San Francisco Chronicle headline.
White men with guns are America's real terrorists.
Gee, can they write that with a straight face?
I guess they do. And then Chauncey DeVega.
I just wonder, I suppose Chauncey's ancestors came over on the Mayflower, I'm sure.
But Chauncey DeVega writes, the headline of that story is, America's White Man Problem.
I mean, gee, they really see white men as a problem.
What does that say? What does that say about their view of the future of the United States?
And then here's this great CNN op-ed in which the author is Naaz Modan, a practicing Muslim woman who is the editor for something called Muslim Girl, which is a publication dedicated to Muslim women's issues and empowerment.
It's a great website, by the way. Oh, I go there every day.
Now, the title of her story was, How America Has Silently Accepted the Rage of White Men.
You have to wonder, reading these headlines, if these are already in the can and they're just waiting to get these out.
They already have the graphics.
One of the things that's been interesting is...
On CNN, they keep showing an image of an AR-15 that apparently Steve Paddock used.
But on this image of the AR-15 that has the bump stock, they're trying to show what it looks like.
A, the bump stock is missing and the AR-15 has a grenade launcher on it and a silencer.
It's like, guys, this isn't at all what he used.
We know what he used because we've seen the pictures.
He used what looks like Daniel Defense AR-15s that had almost no modifications upon him.
They were just simple, out-of-the-box AR-15s.
Right, right. Of course, this lovely Muslim addition to our beautiful melting pot, Naz Modan, she goes on to say that gun violence is, quote, a white man's problem.
Now this is, anybody who even knows the basic facts of gun violence in the United States knows this isn't true.
Blacks, of course, commit murder at six times the rate of non-blacks.
And if you could actually tease out Hispanics and Arabs and the rest of them for whites, it's probably seven or eight times the white rate.
But no, no. Gun violence is a white man's problem.
She's also completely overlooked something that the Brookings Institution announced some time ago.
And they pointed out that when blacks use drugs, 85% of the time it's for homicide and only 15% of the time it's for suicide.
For white people it's almost exactly the opposite.
80% of the time a white man uses a gun is for suicide and only 20% of the time it's for homicide.
Now, if this lovely Naz Modan wants to tell white people that they're not allowed to commit suicide by guns, well, I mean, I don't think that's what she really has in mind.
She is talking about violence against other people.
But the disproportions here, the complete ignorance of the actual facts of this, let them get away with this kind of foolishness.
Well, these facts don't even matter to them because these facts, they would just gloss these over and say, well, some white supremacist organization put these together.
The Brookings Institution, of course, couldn't be farther from that fact.
Or you take something like the Milwaukee Homicide Commission, which I believe is the most thorough A group or entity, publicly funded entity, that looks at homicides and non-fatal shootings.
They try and come up with the rationale behind each one.
And you always hear police chiefs in these large cities say, oh, the violence is a gang problem.
It's a gang problem. Well, what the Milwaukee Homicide Commission has absolutely ascertained is that almost every non-fatal shooting or homicide is just based on an argument.
It's based on black people getting in an argument with each other nine times out of ten over something so inconsequential.
Over a $2 debt or something.
And they've documented that, no, we can't say that it's gang violence.
Sorry, that's not a rationale.
No, you step on my shoe and I gotta kill you.
No, there is just a fly-off-the-handle quality of black violence that makes it almost qualitatively different from white violence.
This is why, of course, most whites are far more likely to be condemned for first-degree murder, premeditated murder, than blacks, because blacks kill at just sort of the drop of a hat, whereas whites are much more likely to kill for a particular reason— This is the sort of thing that never gets any publicity, but really the modes of violence between blacks and whites, and Asians are even more so.
Asians almost never just sort of kill out of an argument like that.
In any case, this is the sort of stuff that our country refuses absolutely to recognize.
You know, there were a couple of other aspects about this shooting that I thought were quite fascinating.
I suppose you saw this story.
One of the top lawyers for CBS, she was a vice president of CBS, Haley Geftman Gold, one of those lovely hyphenated names.
She was fired after writing on Facebook that she didn't have any sympathy for the dead or the injured because they were probably Republicans and gun-toters.
Now, when you think about this, this is just amazing.
Here is a woman who sees 59 people gunned down, hundreds injured, and she explicitly says, no sympathy for them.
They were probably people who are political opponents of mine, Republicans and gun-toters.
Just the depth of the division and the really, I mean, I hate to use this word, but the hatred for us is really bubbling up to the surface.
We have to go back to the comments that Jimmy Kimmel made on ABC. He's one of the top late night hosts when he tried to correlate NRA members, gun owners, as if they had something to do with enabling Steve Paddock's It's dehumanizing language.
Hatred, that might not be strong enough of a term because what you're trying to do is create this morality where gun owners are...
In a way, even worse than Steve Paddock.
And they're responsible also for all the deaths.
And as this woman who, as you said, she was fired, she made it quite clear that there's no empathy, there is no feelings, there is no semblance of being a fellow countryman with these dead Americans who, as we've noted, if you look at the pictures, they're almost all white people who were gunned down.
It's a country music concert.
Who else are you going to find there?
Well, actually, there's a funny story.
Let's add some levity to this.
Back in Katrina, one of my favorite stories I've ever read about race.
During the Katrina incident in New Orleans, there was a Walmart that was ransacked.
And people went in, they were just taking stuff left and right.
And one of the journalists made a snide comment that, well, one of the only things left on the CD aisle was Shania Twain CDs.
Wow. I've always thought to this day that was one of the funniest observations because the people that were participating in the looting were obviously all black and black cops, as we saw, but they did leave Shania Twain country music CDs.
I'm sure they did.
I'm sure they did. There were probably no opera CDs there to begin with, but...
Oh, dear.
Well, you know, the whole question, I don't want to speculate too deeply on something for which we have so little data, but when it comes to the Stephen Paddock motive...
He did have an Asian girlfriend, a Filipino girlfriend, and the fact that he targeted a country music concert, which he must have known.
He was a pretty smart guy.
He prepared his attack pretty carefully.
He had to have known it was going to be overwhelmingly white people.
And although his friends and family don't seem to report any kind of unusual political or religious views, It is not out of the question that he had absorbed some of the stuff about white people being the scourge of humanity.
I don't rule that out.
I mean, I wouldn't wish to make any kind of statement on this at this point because we have so little data.
And unfortunately, because he's dead, we'll never know.
The only evidence we have is the people that he killed because there has been no motive established in almost five days.
There's virtually no information about this guy out there.
He had almost no footprint.
What we do know is some of the aspects people said, well, he was...
He was going to go to Lollapalooza and rent a hotel room and to Fenway Park.
It's like, well, but again, what was the motive?
Why? And the question is, the motive and the evidence that we have before us, that's all we can do is gather facts.
59 people are dead.
More than 500, 600 people are wounded.
Almost all of those people are Caucasians.
And as one of the people who appeared on Fox News, a colonel, I can't remember his name, he pointed out that based on the evidence we have, this aligns a lot with the attack on Congressman Scalise.
Yes, the Republicans.
Correct, the Republicans at the baseball game.
There's a lot of pattern recognition.
A couple people have actually gone on Fox and made this exact same claim.
They said, look, in the absence of a motive, what you can do is look at who was targeted.
Yes, and after all, the anti-white message that we get over and over, 24 hours a day, can drive even white people, even apparently normal white people, To taking these absurd positions against their own racial group.
So, who knows?
By the way, I don't know if you've ever used a bump stock.
I never have, but a friend of mine actually designed and patented a variant of it.
And it is a remarkable thing.
It uses the recoil to operate your trigger.
And once you figure out how to use it, you can control it pretty well.
It's a remarkable little gizmo, and it is not expensive.
It's not complicated. And we will see just whether or not Congress decides to ban these things.
I must say, I have always believed in an armed citizenry returning fire.
But in the case of this attack, it would have been very difficult to return fire.
I bet a lot of those people probably were armed.
But when a guy is 400 yards away, 32 floors up, it is very difficult to return fire.
You have no idea where the fire is even coming from.
No idea where it's coming from. In all the videos I've seen, people are looking around there.
It's very difficult to even determine.
Anything. That was a really pernicious, difficult to counterattack, I must say.
Anyway, well, let's move on to something that happened actually last week.
This was, I think, quite significant in terms of what it says about Black Lives Matter, about universities, and about how our opponents really think about free speech.
and this was the disruption by Black Lives Matter of a speech that was put on by the ACLU, no less,
at William and Mary, the second oldest university in the entire country, and it was all about
freedom of speech and the rights of college students and learning more about what our individual rights
and liberties are.
Not only was the speech about free speech and individual liberties, the speaker was a woman
by the name Claire Gastagnaga, who is a Hispanic, an executive director of the ACLU in Virginia,
but a former lobbyist for Virginia Coalition of Latino Organizations.
and who was a speaker at the 17th Annual National Hispanic Law Conference.
Now, this is a woman who represents an organization which has, over the years, supported mostly ferociously lefty causes.
But this is a group that occasionally does show some respect for standards in general.
And they had supported the right of Unite the Right to rally in Charlottesville, the Charlottesville rally that turned out so badly.
And this fact was utterly unacceptable to these BLM people.
And this just goes to show you that they have no respect for any kind of overarching notion of fairness.
They want their ideas promoted and everything else is absolutely unacceptable.
But tell us about what happened here on that.
I would love to, and I'd also like to point out that William& Mary, just to show how far that institution has fallen, just as Harvard is getting rid of the Puritans from their school song, William& Mary has been removing the bust of Thomas Jefferson.
They've done all sorts of crazy things on the campus.
So the de-Westernification of William& Mary is well on its way, and one of the hallmarks of We're good to go.
She's introduced to speak, steps up on stage, and she begins her speech.
Black Lives Matter protesters, many of these people are students.
We don't even know if they're actually students at William& Mary.
Some of them definitely were students.
Or if they were brought in.
You're right. They immediately rust the stage.
They hold signs.
They shout anti-ACLU, anti-liberal, anti-free speech, and other slogans at the speaker.
At their Latina ally, by the way.
Their hardcore Latina ally who's basically spent her entire adult life, her entire professional life agitating against the historic American majority on behalf of organizations like Black Lives Matter.
That's right. That's right.
She gives them the stage.
This is the most amazing thing.
Can you imagine, can you imagine any liberal organization being shouted down by conservatives or whites, explicitly white advocates, just giving them the stage and the microphone?
Unimaginable. Well, of course, then he goes on to say, oh, these marginalized groups don't have the same speech rights as wealthy, white, cis, male, straight bodies.
Oh, God, their lingo, their lingo is enough to just turn people against them.
Well, and the lingo that they started off with was the, from the Black Lives Matter stated, quote, the ACLU is, quote, hiding behind the rhetoric of free speech to defend white supremacists, unquote.
No, it's just astonishing.
So then after that, after the chaos, the organizers canceled the event.
And then, and I think this is very interesting too, there were apparently students in the audience who wanted to come up to Claire Castanaga and actually hear what she had to say.
But these BLM people physically prevented them from just gotten away.
And apparently it got to the point where one of the students said that it was really physical intimidation.
So there you go.
So any, again, again, I mean, maybe I'm naive, but I like to think that there are at least a few people out there who believe in principles.
And if free speech is for your side, it should be for the other side too.
That's what free speech is supposed to be all about.
But these people clearly, clearly think that defending free speech is defending white supremacy, and in that case, then it cannot be.
It cannot be accepted. If the ACLU can't hold an event on campus where they're talking about free speech, what What right do you think a guy like Charles Murray, who of course was chased out of, I think it was Middlebury.
What right do you think Heather McDonald, who was chatted down, I think in California.
What right do you think someone, Richard Spencer trying to go to University of Florida, or you if you're invited to any campus.
It's just extraordinary.
You know, the New York Times actually had a very tepid op-ed saying, expressing a certain amount of concern for this, not lambasting this, as it should have said.
They said, but remember, the real threats for free speech have traditionally come from the right.
And if you start squelching free speech, look at somebody like Donald Trump.
Do you think he would respect free speech?
Remember, this is sort of, this could come back and haunt you, but just in the sort of gentlest, most gentlest, most tepid way.
Golly! No, the country is just turning into a death spiral, it seems to me.
I can't think of one speech that right-wingers, even people who have affiliation with some of these silly organizations like Turning Point USA that are basically free market-based youth conservative groups, where they've tried to stop a speech from happening.
No. I can't think of one.
No, never, never.
I can't think of one either. It never, ever happens.
And this, again, is a pattern that only thought criminals detect, that it is only conservative.
Well, this isn't even a conservative group, but this is a group that's being accused of white supremacy because they believe in freedom of speech.
And I think some of the protest chants that the Black Lives Matter people were up to, liberalism is white supremacy.
Isn't that something? That's what they were chanting.
I guess standards are white supremacy.
Good manner are white supremacy.
Good grammar is white supremacy.
Anything that is associated with a civilized society apparently is white supremacy.
Then they say, blood on your hands.
That was another one of their chants.
Then they were waving signs, too.
No dialogue with white supremacy.
Well, of course not, you know.
These people are just to be squelched, beaten, killed if need be.
No dialogue. Justified in doing it.
That's right. And then your free speech hides beneath white sheets.
Oh, that's great poetry.
You know, I just don't know where to begin to try to understand this mentality.
It really is.
I mean, they accuse their opponents of being fascist, and by that, who knows what they mean, but they certainly would include the idea of physically eliminating an opposition, dominating the intellectual climate, and making it impossible for other groups to meet.
They are behaving in just such An utterly anti-democratic, illiberal way.
It's really quite breathtaking.
They believe they are entitled to a preemptive strike on wrong thinkers.
Let's just put it loudly.
When you look at these lines like hate speech is violence and their morality, they have reached a place where they have the opportunity for a preemptive strike to ensure that that hate speech never becomes violence just because the language...
I mean, again, your free speech hides beneath white sheets.
I think about some of the... Language that I've heard at these seemingly never-ending, ceaseless St.
Louis protests that are just getting more intense as the days go on.
Blocking traffic, disrupting commerce.
It's no KKK, no fascist USA. I'll admit some of the rhymes are pretty clever, but the point is they're nonsensical and they don't conform with reality.
The reality is simply this.
I believe we've reached the point where having civil discourse with the left is impossible.
Because they don't see us as...
Someone that there can be compromise with.
No, no. And there was a good piece by James Kirkpatrick of V-Dare recently.
He was reviewing a book about Antifa, a very good book about Antifa, mind you.
And he pointed out that line that I've used all the time from that movie Independence Day where the president is trying to say, can there be a peace between us and the invading aliens?
Can we survive as a species?
And the alien says, no, we want you to die.
And I really think that when you go back, and I hate to harp on the paddock stuff again, but just the way that gun owners are now being treated as inhuman by comedians who are now lecturing people as opposed to entertaining them.
They're lecturing people that you as an NRA member are on the same level of...
Of amorality as Steve Paddock who just participated in the shooting.
And you go to this and to say that the ACLU, an organization that was founded to make sure that communists had First Amendment protections, That they're now somehow on the same side as white supremacy.
It's insane times.
No, the idea that certain forms of speech are so potentially and inherently violent that violence is justified in stopping it.
This seems to be an increasingly widespread mindset among lefties.
Well, I hate to keep coming back to this, but Marco Rubio, Senator Marco Rubio, actually tweeted the same effect in Charlottesville.
He said, there the ideas expressed in Charlottesville provoke and justify violence.
Boy, I wish more had been made of that, of a sitting U.S. senator taking such an extraordinary position.
And, of course, the university, just this limp-wristed statement about certain behavior is unacceptable.
We want honest debate and civil dialogue, but nobody's going to be punished.
It says, we're going to review our speaking event protocols.
This, you know, this could be, this problem could be solved very easily if anyone, any student who behaved in this way was immediately expelled and if any non-student were just arrested.
The campuses are perfectly capable of doing this.
I think ultimately it has to do with the fact that I mentioned this tepid New York Times op-ed about this event.
The op-ed actually said, it is understandable that we would not wish to reopen questions of racial or sexual equality.
The idea of racial equality is a closed book, and we must not even think about opening it.
So it's understandable that you want to shout these people down.
But here's a group that's not even talking about this.
No, we've really gotten to an extraordinary state in this country.
But anyway, we have a couple of other things to talk about, but I'd like to maybe move on in a different order and talk about the latest Pew findings.
The Pew Foundation, they really do interesting, interesting polling of the American people.
They are very much a lefty organization, but you've got to hand it to them.
I think they present the data they find without too much of a spin.
They say, here it is, folks.
And one of the things they had to say about racial discrimination.
Currently, 41% of Americans say that racial discrimination is the main reason blacks can't get ahead.
Now, that is the largest share expressing this view going back 23 years.
Now, it's extraordinary that that number should be rising.
Still, interestingly enough, the number who say that Americans who can't get ahead are mostly responsible for their own condition, that's 49%.
That is higher than ever before.
So what we're getting is an increasing division of view.
More and more Democrats, as it turns out, are saying racial discrimination is the problem.
More and more Republicans are saying, no, no.
And the 41% say racism is the problem.
49%, that's almost half, say, no, it's their fault.
This is really quite extraordinary.
And to clarify, it's 49% say that blacks who cannot get ahead are mostly responsible for their own condition, evoking personal responsibility.
These ideas that there isn't some pernicious influence somehow marginalizing blacks as 41% of the country say.
And of course, I haven't seen the racial breakdown of the participants in this study, which would be quite fascinating because, again, you talk about how 23 years ago, this is the largest share.
And that 23 years, the demographics of America have changed quite significantly.
And this coalition of the fringes They are united by one thing, and that is their hatred of white America and our past and our present, and they're ensuring that we don't have a future.
But again, going back to the whole ACLU versus BLM, this Coalition of the Fringes is a coalition loosely united, again, by their hatred of Caucasians.
And it is interesting that as we see the division and the lines begin to become more and more concrete, Almost half of people.
It's their responsibility.
They're responsible for their own...
It is quite interesting here, though, the way opinions change depending on things that I think are largely an irrelevance.
Because, for example, in November 2009, that was one year after Barack Obama was elected president, Only 18% said that the main reason black people couldn't get ahead was because of discrimination, as opposed to 41% now.
I mean, really, has the United States changed that dramatically since then?
No. People are affected by trivial surface events.
We have a black president, okay, that means X. We don't have a black president, okay, now it means Y. But this change, see Republicans, I didn't see the racial breakout on this either.
Republicans did not change their views on the importance of racial discriminations holding people back.
It was Democrats.
When we had a black president, these superficially oriented Democrats said, oh, racism has gone away.
And now that we have Donald Trump, racism is back worse than ever.
It's really quite extraordinary.
The other thing about it is, when you take this racial discrimination question, and it was first asked in 1994, the difference in opinions between Republicans and Democrats is just 13%.
However, now, the difference has gone to 50%.
64% of Republicans say it's their own fault.
Only 14% of Democrats are prepared to say it's their own fault.
Again, let me repeat.
Back in 1994, the difference was only 13%.
Now it's 50% that the country is really dividing in remarkable ways.
And you know, you can put this question in slightly different wording and you say, blacks who can't get ahead are mostly responsible for their own condition.
In 1994, 66% of Republicans agreed and so did 53% of Democrats.
But in 2017, 70% of Republicans thought that and only 28% of Democrats.
So, Democrats are becoming increasingly convinced, more than ever, that racism is a problem.
Here we live in a society in which any real, measurable, palpable effect of discrimination just becomes vanishingly small, and yet more and more Democrats are convincing themselves that that is what's holding blacks back.
And again, there's virtually no evidence you could show, not either way, but to show, again, what discrimination are blacks facing when our entire society was stripped down, bare, and rebuilt in a manner to...
Promote blacks well above their station, lowering standards across the board.
I mean, my gosh, we're in such a clown world now that Dr.
Seuss is considered a racist and they're going to the Dr.
Seuss Museum and they're scrubbing a drawing that he did of a Chinese Seussian character because it's offensive and three authors said they're never going to appear at this museum to do any readings because of how they We're negatively impacted by this drawing.
We are reaching a point of...
We reached a point of no return a long time ago.
That New York Times editorial you talked about where these questions are...
That book is shut.
That ship has sailed. This has already been answered.
There is no debate. However, reality has a funny way of climbing through.
Like a weed growing out of this...
Out of this perfectly tended liberal field of delusions, reality keeps coming back and you can't cut it down anymore because as the percentage of whites decrease...
Steve Saylor always points this out.
Public schools are running out of white kids to save the day.
That's right. Now we're seeing just how...
How terrifying the United States with a third world public school population, largely since the majority of public school kids are now non-white, what this future portends.
And these debates that...
Our elites tell us, closed.
We can't have access to.
They're going to start coming back in a harsh way.
Well, you know, there was the satirist juvenile back in the late Roman Empire.
He made an observation that I think of often.
He says, you may drive nature out with a pitchfork.
She will always return.
Well, we have been driving nature out with a pitchfork, but she's coming back.
Heck of a pitchfork. A bulldozer and every, you know, just go to a construction site and look at all the equipment used to build foundations for large buildings.
All of that equipment has been used to try and drive out nature.
Of course, these days we seem to drive out nature in the classroom.
We drive it out with textbooks.
We drive it out with insane college professors.
We drive it out with insane preachers from the pulpit.
Anyway, it's coming back.
It's always going to be there.
And then just finally, on this question of, here's another Pew finding, I think it's quite interesting.
And this is about what's going to happen as the United States changes demographically.
To the question as to whether government should do more to help needy Americans, even if it means going deeper into debt.
Well, blacks, 79% of blacks say yes.
79%? 55% of Hispanics say yes, and whites 44.
That's still an extraordinary number.
But it just goes to show you their attitude, their extended palm, the providential government.
Man who will rain down from heaven so long as white people can be squeezed hard enough.
79% of blacks say we need more handouts, even if it means going further into debt.
This is typical of the short-term view of things.
Who cares about that debt?
White people will pay it off.
Of course they'll pay it off. They've always paid off the debt.
Hispanics are not quite so bad.
I find it significant that they're 55% as opposed to 79%.
And then 44% for whites is a bad figure.
But still, this goes to show you the direction we will inevitably be moving in as the demographics change.
Just like Jimmy Kimmel, who's opining about gun rights, another late-night satirist in our time period, Steve Colbert, who hosts one of the shows, I think, on CBS, the late-night show, he said, can't we start to think that America's going to be a better place when whites are no longer a majority?
It's like, well...
I'm not sure what evidence you have to go on that when we look at micro-takes on cities and whatnot, but this is the mindset of a lot of people.
And in a sane, homogenous society, we want to have a safety net for those who fall and those who fail.
I'm not talking about socialism.
I'm talking about simple governmental policies to help out your fellow countrymen when things get rough financially.
In our society that's being erected, we're looking at a cradle to grave transfer of wealth from whites to subsidize.
As you stated, 79% of blacks believe that they should get...
More handouts. More handouts, basically.
And Hispanics, yeah, that number's not significantly greater than whites, but it is still statistically greater.
And as the country, as the rising tide of color that Stoddard warned us about back in the 1920s becomes firmly ensconced as the new ruling class with their white allies, that's where it's going to get interesting to see where the white allies fall into place.
And you have...
You have the new coalition that tries to rise and demand, get out of the way now.
You had your chance. And then that's...
It's all so comical if the tragedy couldn't be avoided.
And that's the thing. You and I both know how easily this oncoming tragedy and horror that'll make what happened in Las Vegas look like child's play with what's coming in Europe.
I mean, my gosh. And in the United States...
It all could be avoided.
I think the decline of the West, the suicide of the West, is the greatest tragedy in history.
If we do not save ourselves, I think there will be nothing, nothing even remotely equivalent to it.
I'm increasingly optimistic that we will save ourselves.
It will be one hell of a fight, but I think that we will survive.
But if we don't, can you think of anything even remotely, remotely, as horrifyingly tragic as the decline of Western man and Western civilization?
Nothing comes close.
Anything in known human history, absolutely not.
And of course, let's finish up with one of the ladies I most admire in American history, Michelle Obama.
By the way, I visited the National Portrait Gallery the other day, and it's really a fascinating place, all these portraits from American history.
And I was walking in expecting to get my usual healthy dose of American history and American portraiture, and the first portrait I saw walking in the door was Michelle Obama's.
Oh, what a thrill. In any case, just the other day, she was complaining about the GOP being too many men and too many whites.
It's worth quoting her. She says, at the State of the Union address, you can see Is this real dichotomy.
It's a feeling of color, almost.
Color, Michelle? Really?
On one side of the room, it's literally gray and white.
On the other side of the room, there are yellows and blues and whites and greens.
Really? Physically, there's a difference in color, in the tone, because on one side, all men, all white.
On the other side, some women, some people of color.
And she goes on to say that this is what we need more of.
More women, more people of color, more this, more that.
Just this accepted point of view that white men are the problem.
And you go right up to the former First Lady.
It clears a bell to her.
We are the problem.
Her hatred of Caucasians is well noted, going back to her days at Princeton, going back to the comment she made where she finally felt proud to be an American when her husband was inaugurated.
And nominated. That's right, nominated.
That's the first time she felt proud to be an American.
That's right, that's right. But you look at this comment, and I don't see any people that look blue except for John McCain.
When you're talking about the State of the Union, the only people I see...
On the Democrat side, I mean, gosh, just go look at a picture of the Congressional Black Caucus.
That's one of the whitest-looking groups of people you'll ever see, some of the Blacks who are the leaders of that organization.
Again, another name I quote off because I think he does such great work.
Steve Saylor always notes that.
He's always shocked at how white-looking the leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus is.
Well, don't remind them of that.
No, no, it's true. You know, she says, on the other side of the room, yellows, blues, whites, and greens?
Well, I suppose Nancy Pelosi is about as smart as a potted plant, so I guess she qualifies as a green.
What do you think? You know, I don't know from a botany standpoint if that's true or not, or a botanical standpoint, but...
This comment has taken on a lot.
It's been overshadowed by the events in Vegas.
This week has been very interesting because there's been a lot of news that's broken.
A lot of good news, actually, that we weren't able to get to, but the tragedy of what happened, the massive loss of life.
I mean, look at it this way, Mr.
Taylor. Has there been a time in world history where this many people were killed that the state didn't That the state didn't condone, whether it was the Bolsheviks doing something or the Nazis or some state-issued mandate to kill this many people.
This is extraordinary.
This really does show, unfortunately, I think, the mind of the white man.
It's difficult to imagine.
One guy, single-handedly, killing as many people as he did.
Of course, the Orlando shooting came pretty close.
That wasn't a white guy. But this idea of doing it at such a distance, in such a predetermined manner, renting out a whole suite, At right the spot where he figured he'd have the best field of fire.
Another aspect of this is quite interesting to me.
Apparently he had his weapons on bipods and he had scopes as if he was going to do aimed fire.
But at that distance, at 400 yards, I haven't seen much written about this, but I think all you really need to do is just spray.
When people are that closely packed together, at 400 yards, have you ever looked through a targeted scope at 400 yards?
That's a long way away.
And especially...
1,200 feet.
Yes, that's a long distance.
So for him, I think he was just spraying.
Again, we don't want to get into the strategy and the tactics, but you're talking about 22,000 people in a compact area, shoulder to shoulder.
Yes, yes. The only term I can come up with is a target-rich environment that wouldn't require some of the sophisticated night vision scopes that he had.
He had some very high-level scopes.
Yes, yes. And I don't want to speculate on what I believe transpired, but just watching the videos, all you have to do if you have a magazine that has 30 rounds or 40 rounds, you've got the opportunity to miss Very few people.
And like you said, this is something so horrifying because of, again, in the absence of a motive, who did he target?
And I think that's where it's important for us to end because as the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and other law entities, And enforcement agencies, as they continue to keep the motive away from us, I think it's important that we push back against this idea that all white men are somehow responsible or all gun owners are somehow responsible.
No. Look who was targeted.
These were white people who, yeah, you know what?
Go look at those videos of Donald Trump visiting them in the hospital.
They are big Donald Trump fans.
They are excited to see him in Melania.
They get out of their beds, even though they have bullet holes in them, and they embrace the president.
They are the president's people.
They are the backbone of America.
And that's what this strike was.
Yes, the parallels between this guy and the fellow who attacked the Republicans playing baseball seem...
Fairly convincing. But the misfortune of it all is that even if the FBI and all the other law enforcement agencies find parallels of that kind, they will not be emphasized.
It's very likely the media will downplay all of that.
But we will withhold judgment until we get more information.
So, always a pleasure to have you in the office.
And we will be looking forward to our next podcast.
But in the meantime, I suppose it's fair enough for me to inform our audience that the next person hosting you will not be myself.
They will be a mystery host.
And I'm quite looking forward to a week from today when that mystery host and I get the opportunity to commiserate about next week's news.
Let's hope that there'll be something to celebrate and not just commiserate.
Okay, thanks so much.
