A Guilt-Free Columbus Day
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of Radio Renaissance.
I am Henry Wolfe, standing in today for Jared Taylor, who's currently out of the country.
He's doing a speaking tour in Europe right now.
And I am joined by the incredible Paul Kersey.
Paul, how are you doing? Hey, I'm doing great, Mr.
Wolfe. I've got to tell you, a lot of people were wondering, they listened to the podcast last week and they heard Mr.
Taylor mention And I had done a couple tweets on a certain topic that's going on in a lot of people's minds.
And they were like, hey, is it going to be Alex Jones?
Jones kind of as a joke and I said no it's someone a lot more important and someone whose
voice you're going to really want to hear it.
So I'm so excited that people are going to get to hear from you today.
Well I'm looking forward to it.
Let's dive right in.
This, of course, is Columbus Day week.
We're enjoying the short week, had a nice time on Monday.
It was a particularly nice time because the president didn't tweet something or issue a proclamation that was anti-what.
So this is a big deviation from the prior eight years Columbus days.
We have a statement here that Trump put out, his official proclamation I want to read from it at length.
It says, quote, The permanent arrival of Europeans to the Americas was a transformative event that undeniably and fundamentally changed the course of human history and set the stage for the development of our great nation.
Therefore, on Columbus Day, we honor the skilled navigator and man of faith whose courageous feet brought together continents and has inspired countless others to pursue their dreams and convictions.
Even in the face of extreme doubt and tremendous adversity.
More than five centuries after his initial voyage, we remember the Admiral of the Ocean Sea for building the critical first link in the strong and enduring bond between the United States and Europe.
Mr. Wolf, he was the foundation of that link.
And this message from President Trump could have been written by someone like Peter Brimlow or Jared Taylor.
This is tremendous. I think it's actually, it is a pro-white statement.
It is a pro-white statement, not in a way that is negative towards any outgroup or anything.
It is simply showing that there is a connection between the United States and Europe And that Columbus is one of the first people other than Leif Erickson to really establish that connection between the continents.
It is a historical fact.
Everything that Mr. Trump wrote in that proclamation, more importantly, there's no apology or guilt drenched as we saw from the prior eight years of Mr.
Obama. I'd even like to go back and wonder if George W. Bush during his presidency even shied away from saying something anywhere near what we see here from Mr.
Trump. And to think about one of the things you and I have always talked about, and that is, you know, space exploration.
To think that in 66 short years from the Wright brothers' first flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina to July 20th, 1969, When Neil Armstrong touched the face of the moon, the first person to, you know, the United States doing that.
In 66 short years, one of these space shuttles, of course, was famously named after Christopher Columbus, the Columbia Space Shuttle.
My point is this. The importance of Christopher Columbus to European history, and more importantly, as Mr.
Trump noted, to American history, is undeniable.
And if you try and sever that, if you try and deny that and wash that and marinate it
in guilt and hatred for all the purported evils that he brought to this continent, which
we're about to get into, you basically are, it's not just historical revisionism, it's
an attempt to re-triangulate the future of where we're headed as a country and a civilization.
Well, this is really the cardinal sin of the age.
And it touches on a lot of themes we're going to be talking about today.
But basically, Trump is asserting here something positive that white people can identify with in their history.
And that's unacceptable because white people in America today are allowed only a negative identity.
Only an identity of guilt and shame.
And here Trump is saying that we should be inspired by the deeds of our forebears.
And this, of course, has drawn ire all across the media sphere.
We've got a headline here from CNN. Trump's praise of Columbus omits dark history.
And, of course, the entire article is just about how Columbus is, you know, anything admirable Columbus may have done is totally overshadowed by the fact that he enslaved Indians, that he...
You know, inadvertently brought these diseases and that we have to talk about this stuff.
This is, and of course, in her mind, this is a non-white author, I'm sure.
That's the only thing we should talk about.
You know, Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel is the definitive look of how to properly define and interpret Clercifer Columbus's and the subsequent Spaniards and other Europeans who came to colonize the North American, the South American continent.
It's funny, I remember in 2006, I happened to see Apocalypto with a very famous nationalist.
And the movie is brutal, showing what it was like.
Savagery. Savagery.
Just utter savagery. Just this brutal tour de force, this hour and 30 minute just romp through what life was like with the cannibalism and the human sacrifices.
And at the very end, when the character who's trying to elude capture gets to the ocean...
Sure, they all stop as two people who he's eluded the whole movie are trying to kill him and they take a knee because they see in the ocean in the distance a ship and the white man coming.
It's one of the more provocative...
Buried a cross. Buried a cross. Buried a Christian cross.
And that's something very important that Mr.
Trump actually mentioned.
Right. Unapologetically pointing out the Christian roots of the Spaniards and Christopher Columbus and then, of course, the subsequent colonization and migration of Europeans.
And it is such a powerful statement.
And I've got to confess, this is the first time that I've actually seen the full content of the statements.
I've seen the reaction, which is...
The hysterical reaction, Mr.
Wolf. But what I find so refreshing about this is...
It goes back to something you talked about when you...
And of course, this is something we've never talked about publicly, because this is your first time we're actually talking to Mr.
Wolf. But you pointed out when Mr.
Trump spoke at CPAC in 2014, 2015, he mentioned how hard it was for Europeans, all of his friends, to come to America.
That's right. And that was when you said you realized something about him.
Who else is going to talk about that?
Yeah, it's true.
I talked to Mr. Taylor at the time and I said, you've got to write a letter to this Trump guy and just, you know, introduce yourself, introduce American Renaissance.
It was a shot in the dark, but, you know, I said, you know, we agree.
We need more European immigrants.
We need more European immigrants.
But no, it's funny that the apocalypto, to go back to that, the dark history that it shows, which CNN conveniently omits from its article.
The fact is, when Columbus arrived here, the Indians were already enslaving each other.
When they got in scuffles, they would take captives, they would enslave them.
They were actually in some ways more brutal than the European captors.
The Indians would sometimes cut off a foot from the captive, that way they couldn't escape.
Oftentimes they would do ritual sacrifice with the captive and none of this is contested.
So CNN wants to make it out like whites imported slavery to the New World.
The fact is Indians were doing it already.
And into the 18th and 19th century, Indians were even enslaving blacks.
But few people know about this history.
They only know about smallpox, blankets, and things like this.
It's funny, the world before 1492 and the North American and South American continents was basically the brutish, fantastical world Robert E. Howard created and Conan the Barbarian.
When you think about the great movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, what is best in life for the very warring Indian tribes that would fight and, as you alluded to, kill and enslave?
It truly was crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.
That was the reality of what it was like.
And then this is one of the main reasons, this is going off subject, but when we talk about when America was, when the colonialists were upset with King George's They brought up one of their main grievances was the savage Indian problem because the British government was not helping out the colony.
All this goes back to the age-old Hobbes-Rousseau debate.
We saw it happen live on the American continent.
Hobbes won. It was a war of all against all.
Then the white man came in Indisputably.
In fact, more importantly, I look at these words of our president, and you can't help but feel a sense of community and belonging when you see something of this nature.
It makes you even think, you know, you do wonder.
I know you wrote that Mr.
Taylor shot in the dark, wrote a letter to Trump Tower, but this is the kind of thing that it might seem insignificant to a lot of people listening, that Mr.
Trump It makes a lot of sense why he's doing so many things in terms of this populist uprising that we continue to see.
We continue to see the seeds, not just planted, but we're beginning to see, we're beginning to actually see some growth from these ideas that he's put out there.
And this is one of the most important things, Mr.
Wolf, and I'll let you jump in here, because we have not seen someone in the public eye defend America's white heritage in my lifetime.
It's exceedingly rare.
I mean, certainly no one of the stature of the President of the United States.
I mean, it's really an incredible thing.
But you talk about, you know, making it feel like you belong to a community.
And that's true.
But some people, of course, then feel excluded from this community.
So what do we have yesterday in St.
Louis? A Christopher Columbus statue, which was erected in 1884, Was vandalized.
And it had spray painted all over it.
Black Lives Matter, Murderer, all this stuff.
And it just goes to show that not everyone feels part of this community.
That there's a history that white Americans identify with.
And we identify with the positive elements, with the elements that came out of it.
The civilizing elements, these sorts of things.
And then the Rainbow Coalition.
Of non-whites who do not feel a part of that same community in history.
You know, St. Louis in 1884, I know this for a fact, that in the early 1900s, St.
Louis was roughly 98% white.
You and I looked up the background of this monument.
It's the articles that we were reading, all the AP stories that said a century-old monument.
Well, actually, no. It's almost a 140-year-old monument that was erected by a very wealthy individual who not only put the statue up, but he also gave some of his land to the city to be a park.
And you think about the elite of that time period where they actually cared not just about the posterity that would come after them, but about creating something of value for his fellow citizens to enjoy, which that mindset is so absent from our elite today, who are just donating... As we learn about all the people who are donating to the anti-Trump causes.
I mean, look what Mozilla just did.
I'm sure you saw this story.
They just donated $100,000 to create a secure Antifa account.
Crazy. And we know that a lot of our elite are donating a lot of money.
I mean, look what happened after Charlottesville.
There was a casino that pledged to double donations of casino workers to organizations
like the ADL, the SPLC, yada, yada, yada.
You name them.
Well, but this, and we should point out that it's not simply, I believe Henry Shaw is the
guy who donated the statue.
It wasn't simply a donation of economic value.
What he gave is positive identity to the people of St.
Louis who identified with Columbus, who identified with that history, whether they're Italians
or white people in general, or people who strongly identify with America, people who
just have a strong American identity.
He gave them something positive to aspire to.
And that, as I said, is forbidden.
Well, and that's a great point because you think about the history of the Civil War during that time period.
And Missouri, of course, was a state that wasn't allowed to secede, and there were a lot of Germans
who wanted to be loyal to the Union who lived in St. Louis, because St. Louis obviously is one of the big beer towns.
And there were a number of people throughout Missouri who were, of course, very loyal to the secessionist cause.
I don't need to get into that because we know the great men who were part of Contral's Raiders and whatnot with the war with Kansas.
But this idea of white identity, you had all these various Europeans coming here, and yet at the same time, only 20 years after the conclusion of the Civil War, we could put these various identities away and we could look at Columbus as being this harbor Nobody at that time would ever blink an eye and say, wait a second, maybe it was bad what happened.
Maybe we were wrong to displace these indigenous people.
No one thought that. Even from just the Christian perspective, I mean, they really saw their mission as one of bringing Christianity to the New World, of saving these people from eternal damnation.
I mean, they believed that very strongly.
So even if you're a Christian, you can celebrate, you know, the fact that Columbus brought Christianity to the New World, which you, you know, couldn't say if Leif Erikson did.
Well, as Pat Buchanan is one to say whenever he quotes what's going on in Europe and America, as Hilary Bellic said, the faith is Europe, Europe is the faith.
And when European people were once in control of their destiny, you can't really be in control of your destiny.
My point is, when European people...
For what our ancestors, particularly somewhat of the importance of Christopher Columbus and what they actually did to change the course of the world.
You know, Jared always talks about, Mr.
Taylor always talks about the book, I think it's called 1419.
It's about the Chinese and they developed this massive navy to go out and see what was out there.
And they actually made it to the western coast of the United States.
But then instead of actually colonizing, when the ships came back, they burnt them.
Right. Gotta always give the nod to the Faustian spirit.
We got another story out of Broward County, more of this war on white heritage.
Broward County, of course, is on the coast of Florida, the East Coast.
It went 66 to 31 for Hillary, so pretty blue area.
But if you look at it on a map, you can see that a good portion of the county is Everglades.
And the man responsible for making a lot of that land arable was a fantastic name, Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, who the county is named after.
Well, now we've got a new story coming out that the mayor of Broward County, Barbara
Mohammed Sharif, who's a Democrat, she's also happens to be black and Muslim, totally unrelated
to the fact that she wants to start erasing history.
They want to remove the statue of Broward from the courthouse, and it's going to happen.
It's in the works.
So this guy, Broward, he was the governor of Florida from in the very early 1900s, 1905
to 1908, I believe.
And he is single-handedly responsible, pretty much, for draining the Everglades.
And he faced tremendous opposition During that time, all these political campaigns were launched against him.
People were making cartoons. They were making fun of him, thinking that he could do this.
But he persisted.
And he would take people on tours of the Everglades.
He actually brought Teddy Roosevelt down and managed, as a result of that trip, that tour that he gave to Teddy Roosevelt, managed to secure federal patronage for this project.
So he literally transformed Broward County and made it into what it is today.
But he's no longer worthy of honor.
And why is that?
Well, why that is, is because Broward had some views that today are anathema to having a place and being honored in polite society.
He wanted Congress to purchase territory for blacks to live in and to purchase their property they currently held at a reasonable price, at a reasonable rate, market value, and transport them to this territory.
So in other words, Broward had an idea for an ethnostate.
He was thinking in terms of establishing a territory for blacks, which they would control, and relocating them there after buying their property at a fair price.
Broward's views are consistent with the 16th president of the United States, Scott Key, some of the great men in American history, Andrew Jackson, they all held similar views about the, going back to Thomas Jefferson and the notes on Virginia, where he said that nothing is more certain than the Book of Faith, that these people should be free, but at the same time, they can't live on the same footing as Europeans, as whites.
This was a view that time has only shown to be factual for everyone involved.
100%. But to this day, I mean, this is a debate that happens.
I got into it on Twitter, actually, with the American Renaissance account, but we got into it with Tariq Nasheed, who seems to be kind of a troll to me.
He really pushes things hard, but he can't go more than two tweets.
He's got a big following, though. He's got a big following, but he can't go more than two tweets without saying white supremacist, but he and I went into it.
And he was saying how racist everyone is, how white supremacist everyone is, and all this stuff.
I said, look, why don't we end white supremacy by living separately?
Why don't we do that?
Are you in? And he just equivocated and bounced around and all this stuff and said, oh, whites would never let us live free.
They'd never let us be fully free.
Anytime we've tried to do it, they don't let go.
And I said, well, look, I'm sorry about Liberia.
Sorry it didn't work out for you, but next time we'll be extra hands-off.
How's that? We won't give you a constitution or anything.
But this is the kind of thing that Broward had in mind.
He had in mind that Blacks could rule their own destiny.
And if you look at some of the stuff that Black Lives Matter is saying, and you look at their goals, they say they want to see a police force that looks like them.
They want their communities to be governed by people who look like them.
And who doesn't want that? Who doesn't want that?
I mean, it is tragic to be a minority in a land.
You're constantly trying to lobby to the powers that be to represent your interests.
And no one wants that.
And there's an inverse to your point for white people living as a minority.
We just go to simply Selma, Alabama, where blacks are 80% of the city.
And during the 50th anniversary of the Selma-Edmund Pettus Bridge March, the one that Martin Luther King led, where they went from Selma to Montgomery, Jesse Jackson was down in Selma and they were looking around at pretty much the ruins of the city and they noticed that economically it's one of the more backwards areas of the country.
And Jesse Jackson said, shockingly, just to the point, we need to pass a law that won't allow, that will not allow white people to take their Because we desperately need their tax revenue.
It was such an eye-opening statement because he's basically admitting that in the absence of white people, there is an inability for a homogenous black community to create the conditions where there's an incentive or even any...
Any semblance of a community where a business owner or someone who has capital would want to invest in that area.
And this is the contradiction that's at the heart of these shakedown artists like Jackson and like Nasheed is when you point out, okay, well, if you have a problem with white people policing your communities or you have a problem with, you know, all these things, let us go.
Let us separate. Let white flight happen.
Quit complaining about it. Let the white businesses leave.
Take them over. Now you've got buildings and infrastructure being given to you for pennies.
But when I pointed that out to Nasheed, I said, you could have total sovereignty, total control of things.
Why don't you want it? He just, you know, total equivocation because what they really want is to keep Whitey on the hop.
What they really want are the handouts endlessly.
And I pointed that out too. I said, you're a pale shadow of men like Malcolm X because Malcolm X wanted separation.
Malcolm X wanted there to be sovereignty in the black community.
Yeah, I think about a pale imitation of what we are currently to the people like Teddy Roosevelt and Napoleon Bonaparte Broward.
While he was leading this mission to drain the Everglades and then to make what is now Broward County hospitable toward You think about these massive projects that before would seem impossible to even understand the scale, the scope, and the engineering aspect behind these endeavors, which nowadays, of course, we have shows like Ancient Aliens trying to say that any great building or any great Any great civilization that existed obviously had to have the help of some extraterrestrial being.
Well, it almost seems like that way.
I follow some different accounts on Twitter, some of these European architecture accounts, and you see these buildings.
I've got a coffee table book of the castles of Europe, and you flip through it, and you look at this stuff, and you're like, Who built this?
Who are these people who built this?
And it resonates with you deep down.
So you feel in your bones, you're like, this is mine.
This is a product of my people.
But at the same time, you look around at the bug men around today and you're like, who among you would build this today?
It's impossible. And we hoped that Trump would lead a new revival of that mentality.
He had some ads during the election that hinted at going to Mars and space and things like that.
And of course, he's always been a builder in his building style.
His buildings are often very beautiful.
The old post office building that he transformed into a hotel is gorgeous.
One of the more interesting aspects of his book, his first book, I don't know.
He's got a lot of books. Well, it's the first one that he did.
The one that he said is his second favorite book of all time.
The Art of the Deal. The Art of the Deal.
I love that book because he's, you know, his dad is a builder in Queens and he decides he wants to make it on his own, so he goes to Manhattan.
And at the time when he's there, Manhattan is, of course, going through, New York City is going through massive racial change.
Right. You know, during World War II. 5% white, I believe.
And in the subsequent 30 years, you see just massive racial transformation that actually far exceeds what we would see in Detroit because the white population just plummeted in the percentage per capita.
But he's talking about looking at these rundown buildings and he's near Grand Central Station.
And all he cared about was the facade and wanting to build opulence and a sense of being when you're Why would we allow this architecture that was crafted and built by people who wanted something to last for centuries?
Why would we allow it to fall into ill repute within a couple decades?
And he would go around to...
And then he made it a crusade to do as much as he could to regenerate and, for lack of a better term...
Create a renaissance. Yeah, there you go.
A architectural renaissance.
And he was instrumental in the rebirth of New York at a time when you would see movies like Serpico and Death Wish and all these movies that show just the urban decay going on.
And he was one of the people who helped.
He was one of the people who was a giant that then other people would be able to stand on his shoulders to One thing that kind of sets him apart from just the growth as such is that I think he always had a distinctively Western Many people would shy away from architecturally now.
It's considered gaudy. What you need is modern architecture.
You could go to like the Marriott Marquis in D.C., which is, you know, just as expensive as the Trump Hotel.
But you walk in and there's like fake grass and there's like all these weird shapes and all this stuff.
And you're like, you know, this it's nobody's.
It's nobody's. This belongs to nobody.
It's got no distinct sense behind it.
And Trump actively defied that.
It's unapologetically Western.
One of the things Donald Trump talked about in Art of the Deal in regards to what he wanted to do for the Trump Tower that he built, he was shocked that when he would show people condos and they would have prefabricated interiors, people would be like, we're just going to rip this all out.
We want to have the ability to make He found didn't want to be in Trump Tower.
It was people who were nouveau riche Europeans.
In the art of the deal, it's all about talking about nouveau riche Europeans who wanted to move into Trump Tower.
And that was his market. And that's who he marketed to.
And if you look at the pictures that everyone tried to make fun of, his apartment in Trump Tower, you used the word Gotti.
I used the word Magnificent.
I used the word In terms of the iconography, the European iconography that's all around going to, I believe there's Greco-Roman inspirations.
It's certainly Renaissance. Yeah, Renaissance.
It's just, it is oozing with an unapologetically Western aesthetic.
Well, it's interesting too, because he's seen as this cultural pedestrian.
A real rube in terms of his aesthetic sense.
But then look at where he lives.
Look at the buildings he makes and these things.
If he ever does pass an infrastructure bill, it'll be very interesting to see what sorts of things he's got in mind.
Yeah, something tells me he's probably read Tom Wolf's book, The Pain in Word, and some of his criticisms of architecture.
But no, I mean, I know this sounds like we're really, this is like a pro-Donald Trump podcast right now, but it is important.
I mean, going back to what he talked about, because what are we about here at Renaissance Radio?
What are we about that is the, that is uplifting white people in the present to understand that the past It's worth celebrating.
It's not worth feeling guilty over and apologizing for, because if that happens, we'll have no future.
And that brings us back to our next topic, which is going back to the events in Charlottesville, which it's easy to forget that that was originally about trying to keep up the statue of Robert E. Lee.
And we got a story this week out about one of the key legs of that narrative, one of the key images that they showed at the time which helped establish in people's minds that this was, you know, white supremacists invading the city and just beating down random people is the story of DeAndre Harris.
DeAndre Harris is a black man who got in a confrontation in Charlottesville.
We could go into the details, but he ended up getting beaten and he raised $166,000 for his defense.
He was the cause celebre.
Of Sean King, of some of these other professional race baiters who all pointed to him and said, oh, he was set upon.
He was just minding his own business and set upon.
And we know that that's false. You know, someone on Twitter, Dave, said, you got to talk about this story.
And I, of course...
I was critical about Charlottesville before it happened and don't want to really talk about a lot of it because of the optics of what transpired.
But this is, as you said, one of the legs of the narrative that these people who just came, as you said, to Charlottesville to defend the Robert E. Lee statue and to hear speeches by a number one...
You say defend not physically.
Yeah, defend it being staying up as part of the heritage there in Emancipation Park, whatever it's called now.
The point is this. The people who went to Charlottesville thought they were going to hear speeches.
They were denied that ability.
The police forced them out into a very hostile area where there was a lot of antifa.
And we've seen the pictures. The great Hunter Wallace did a tremendous job.
It almost was on Hunter Wallace himself to look into this and to break down the pictures from the image of DeAndre with his head split open that was used on GoFundMe.
They All over the news as if people who went to Charlottesville for the Unite the Right We're actually going there to try and find individuals to beat and to attack.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
We know now, as Hunter Wallace showed, these guys came with bludgeons.
These guys, DeAndre, came with bats and weapons to attack people.
And it's worse than that. I actually saw a video about this over a month ago on, I think it was Mike Cernovich's Facebook page, but it was an explainer.
It was like an eight minute video, but it basically took footage and it sped it up for most of the time.
It showed that far from being in a random place at a random time and being set upon, D'Andre and his group of thugs stopped these guys who were there for the rally for minutes, minutes on end, and just hurled abuse at them, just insulted them while they were...
D'Andre was carrying a maglite.
He had a mask, which he eventually put on, over his mouth at least.
And some of his buddies had what appear to be billy clubs, these sorts of things, and they were just hurling abuse and clear harassment.
I mean, clear harassment for minutes on end as these people simply walked away.
They stalked them. And then a confrontation ensued in which it appears that one of DeAndre's guys tried to grab a flag From one of the Unite the Right guys.
And then DeAndre seems to have come in with his maglite and cracked the guy over the head.
There's video of this.
And, you know, now DeAndre's lawyer is trying to say that, oh, the guy with the Confederate flag was trying to spear someone, but it's very clear the guy is on his back foot.
He's clearly trying to pull the flag back as he gets cracked in the head.
And they're trying to say, oh, he got hit later.
Well, the fact is, he did get hit later.
The victim here...
His name is Harold Cruz.
Apparently, he's a leader in the League of the South.
He was attacked later by other Antifa and cracked in the head again.
But when you see that hit that took him down to the ground, he already had a huge gash on the side of his head, which there's great reason to believe was from that maglite.
This whole episode and, of course, the subsequent arrest of DeAndre Yes, we should bring that up.
So he was subsequently, he has been arrested now.
Police in Charlottesville have the evidence that shows there is a reason to arrest him for...
Unlawful wounding. Unlawful wounding.
Which is a class 6 felony.
So it's a pretty low level felony, but nonetheless a felony.
So DeAndre turned him in yesterday, Thursday.
Turned himself in. Turned himself in and was almost immediately let out on bond.
Which is a lot better than you can say for the two guys who have been arrested for attacking him.
Which, as I say, there's reason to believe that it was simple retaliation.
That these guys came in, they were stalked for minutes, their comrades were attacked, and they returned the favor.
And they clearly whipped DeAndre's ass.
There's no question. It was a brutal beating, and maybe they went too far.
But, guess what? They also let him run away.
He was stumbling around, and all these guys, you can watch the full video, they just stood there.
After it was clear that he was out of it and he was done, they let him stumble away and run away.
And then they went on, again, trying apparently to find their cars.
If you understand Charlottesville and where the garage was and where the monument was, they were probably trying to walk to their cars.
And then they were set upon again by Antifa, and that's when Harold Cruz was whacked again.
It's crazy when you think about the reaction to the arrest of DeAndre.
Unlawful wounded. Okay.
You've seen a reaction by people on Twitter and in social media and in news stories where they're just absolutely abhorred that this could happen because they believe that the violence is justified against people who attended the United Right event just because they harbor these views.
Either that or they believe the initial media narrative, which is that this guy was just randomly walking somewhere and, you know, was set upon.
I think it's more sinister than that, though.
I think you have to look at the punch, the whole punch, the Nazi thing that happened after that.
At this point, you have to believe that it's sinister because you've got this being reported from the AP on down.
Correct. And nobody is telling...
The story that we told here today.
Nobody is telling that.
No. I saw, with the exception of the Daily Progress, which is a local paper, I saw that they at least included Hunter Wallace, a quote from him saying that, you know, there's another side to the story.
Of course. And you look at what Steve Saylor noted.
There's a Washington Post story.
It actually had the headline.
You can go to uns.com forward slash iSteve and look at it.
Quote, a black man charged in his own beating.
How can this be happening?
Unquote. It's just shocking.
It's just shocking. I mean, how can it be happening?
Good question. Why don't you go research some of the video?
Why don't you go look at some of the images?
It took me, you know, a couple minutes to get to the bottom of this.
It's not a difficult thing, but they have to enforce the narrative.
And it's a dangerous thing.
It's a dangerous thing for them to do that from their perspective because all it takes in the minds of your typical observer of the news is one of these big lies in order for the media to lose all credibility.
I remember for me, it was back when Russia supposedly invaded South Ossetia.
if you remember that, it was Saakashvili and this story.
And it was made out all over the news that Russia was invading, Russia's invading.
Well, they didn't mention that Saakashvili was shelling ethnic Russians in South Ossetia
and that the Russians came in in defense of their own people.
True wag the dog moment.
But it was totally lied about in all the media.
It was only really on some alternative media that I got the real story.
And then Pat Buchanan told the real story.
But outside that, nobody's there.
This DeAndre Harris, it is a Mephistophelian thing for them to try and uphold the narrative because people are snapping at it.
Same thing with Trayvon.
Same thing with Michael Brown.
All it takes is a couple of these narrative collapses.
and people wake up.
Hunter Wallace has been a one-man wrecking crew trying to destroy this building of hate
toward anyone who dares advocate for white identity or that white lives matter.
And he's knocking down this building brick by brick because the foundation was built on utter fabrications.
And this is one of those legs, like you said.
I think that's such a beautiful metaphor because if you just step back to a 40,000 foot view and look at the facts, what's we're supposed to do?
Deductive reasoning. All things being equal, we need to look at both sides.
And anything. Sure. It is astounding, not just the misinformation that was deliberately disseminated from Charlottesville, but this story in itself, the reaction by the Washington Post to actually publish How can this be happening?
Well, to look at it from 40,000 feet, think about your typical observer of the news cycle, your typical conservative.
What is he going to think when he sees that the Antifa are attacking Trump rallies, they're attacking Milo Yiannopoulos, they're attacking Ann Coulter, they're attacking Boston, they're attacking these Prayer groups in California.
They're after Charles Murray again.
They beat up a woman professor who was just with Charles Murray.
It's like, how can they expect the Charlottesville narrative to hold when you've got these Antifa leading attacks against people way more moderate than the Unite the Right guys?
Ben Shapiro. Exactly.
Going against little Ben Shapiro.
I mean, what are people supposed to think?
Well, I'll tell you what they're supposed to think, and it's a quote that we missed out on bringing to your attention when we were talking about Broward County, but it does tie into Charlottesville, and it's so important because it's eerily predicting where we're heading, and it's by historian Paul The article regarding Napoleon Bonaparte Broward's statue potentially being moved.
Paul George says, quote, I'm a flaming liberal, but I'm also a historian.
I don't know where this movement nationwide is going to end to obliterate the nefarious part of our past.
Every civilization has good and bad, unquote.
Mr. Wolf, as we're talking about, the sole reason people went to the Unite the Right
rally was to hear speakers defend Confederate heritage, to defend European heritage, and
to talk openly, dare I say proudly, about white people.
And the reaction that it got was to try and paint everyone there as the aggressors.
It's like what happened with Vegas.
Mr. Taylor and I talked about this last week.
The attempt was made by Jimmy Kimmel and other late night hosts to tie in the acts of Steve
Paddock to the NRA and every gun owner, just as the attempt was made to tie in anyone who
has ever advocated for white identity and the interest of white people in an increasingly
soon-to-be A pluralistic society where whites are a minority with no voice and no advocacy groups to tie that into what we saw in Charlottesville where purportedly people were attacked such as this DeAndre Harris character when the exact opposite is the case.
Yeah, and it just goes to show the broader theme that we've been touching on which is that We see the world differently.
That there's a group of people, it's non-whites, it's their delusional leftist allies, and these sorts of people who see the world just in a factually different way than we on the right.
I mean, they still are saying, hands up, don't shoot, as though that was a real thing that happened, even though Holder's DOJ found that it didn't.
They still think that Trayvon didn't do nothing.
They still are pushing these BS narratives.
They see the world differently.
It goes to the NFL question.
Which, you know, one group of people sees people kneeling, and our side sees people kneeling, and we see them disrespecting the flag, disrespecting heritage, veterans, these sorts of things.
The other side sees it as an act of rebellion against some supposedly white supremacist society.
Well, we know that for a fact because Colin Kaepernick in 2016 Colin Kaepernick, of course, we've got to point this out.
He was raised by a Caucasian adopted family.
He was adopted. He's a mulatto.
He's biracial. A white family raised him.
And he has now found it into himself to start...
He just donated $25,000, Mr.
Wolf, to a fund for a black cop killer.
I can't remember the woman's name.
Don't feel like looking it up, but my point is this.
These NFL protests, I've struggled to figure out what they were all about this season, why people are still taking a knee.
Heroically, Donald Trump jumped in in a throwaway line at a rally for Luther Strange in Alabama.
He said, hey, people who do this, they should be fired.
That's it. He literally said two sentences about the NFL.
This became a huge moment where it became the black NFL players against supposedly Donald
Trump being the last...
Avatar of the white.
Exactly. So since then, we've seen a massive drop in ratings for the NFL. There was an article in
the Wall Street Journal that said the brand of the NFL has never been worse than it is right now,
with sponsors, local sponsors, and markets all throughout the country dropping their advertisements.
The cops right now nationwide are actually boycotting Ford because they won't stop broadcasting.
Budweiser even put out a, because of the massive public response to the black players, and they are black players who are taking a knee, Budweiser actually put out a campaign, a very smart marketing campaign that said, hey, should we pull sponsorship?
Call this number, you know, take this poll.
Where they were basically showing that they understood Why consumers would be abhorred by this.
Because Budweiser has wrapped itself in the American flag.
Budweiser just had on their can of beer, I think they called it America, was one of their promotions in the past year.
But we have to end this so poignantly because Donald Trump, as the avatar in the eyes of the left, in the eyes of black America, in the eyes of pundits, he stood the NFL down.
And this week, Roger Goodell actually put out a memo because The 32 owners, the NFL franchises, they're realizing, oh my god, ratings are down.
And you know what? The only value in the NFL, the true value of the NFL is tied to these
magnificently inflated television contracts where NBC, Fox, CBS, and ESPN have bid for
the rights to broadcast NFL games going to, I think, 2022, 2024, to the tune of billions
of dollars, which allows that type of operating capital to be distributed in a true socialist
method to the individual owners, who of course then use public funds to build their new stadiums.
We can talk about that all we want to, but Donald Trump stood the NFL down. And Jerry
Jones himself, the Cowboys owner, came out, even though he took a knee with the team a
couple of weeks ago, he came out and said, hey, if you do this, you're gone.
You're not going to take a knee anymore because they're seeing spreadsheets.
They're seeing balance statements.
Unfortunately, that's the only language.
But that's important because that's one of the reasons during the civil rights era why so many business owners were so fearful.
There's a great story. Yeah.
About the Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta, where a lot of, this is in the 1950s, all these bright white business owners were brought in.
They were part of some of the top country clubs.
This is an apocryphal story, but it's important to tell, to show you the importance of commerce and bottom line.
So, in this big meeting where Robert Woodruff, who was the long-term chairman of Coca-Cola, he got all these people into a room.
All these business owners in Atlanta, all these up-and-coming executives, and they took a vote on integration and what needed to be done in Atlanta.
And they took note of the people who were against slow integration, who were for holding the line.
And those people were punished.
They were ostracized.
Their careers were cut short because they wanted to make sure that Atlanta was seen as a city that was, as we know the moniker, This is an apocryphal story.
I wrote about it over at VDARE a number of years ago.
But the point is that anybody who dared back in that time period say Atlanta should fight this pernicious movement that isn't about equality.
It's about something far worse.
And we know that now. We know that without a doubt.
They were going to be punished.
And... Even though the NFL is largely beginning to try and placate fans who are turned away.
I mean, gosh, the Washington Examiner had a story the other day where the NFL has gone from the most likely The least likely.
And it's been a couple weeks.
And it should be pointed out, of course, we can't highlight it enough that this is entirely along racial lines.
We've got a quote from Gerald McCoy, who's placed for the Buccaneers.
He says this, I don't think guys are going to like it.
This is in response to Godell coming out and saying, you know, people need to, Roger Godell coming out and saying people need to stand up for the anthem.
He says, I think it's going to be an uproar.
If that is to happen because you're basically taking away a constitutional right to freedom of speech.
Now, obviously this isn't the case.
We know that federal employees, state employees, they're not allowed to make political statements in their capacity as a public servant.
Correct. And we know that many, probably most, private employees You can't go out in your UPS uniform and say, you know, I support Donald Trump.
You can't do that kind of thing.
And, you know, the NFL is a business.
And for people to be making political statements on company time, of course they can control it.
The constitutional argument's out the door.
But no, they're trying to make this a very, very big racial issue.
Yeah, you know, there's a guy on ESPN named Michael Wilbon.
He's a former, he's a black commentator.
He used to write for the Washington Post.
He might still have a column, but he's pretty famous for being part of Pardon the interruptions.
Join ESPN with Tony Kornhauser.
And he actually came out.
He was very upset about Jerry Jones, who is regarded as the most powerful owner.
He owns the Dallas Cowboys.
When Jerry Jones came out and said, You're going to be benched.
We might get rid of you.
And as the owner of a business, the Dallas Cowboys, yes, it's entertainment, but at the end of the day, it's a business.
I believe Forbes values the Cowboys as the most valuable franchise in North America.
It's valued close to $2 billion.
That's a lot of money.
That's a lot of cash. Will Bond came out and said, quote, I was critical of Jerry Jones yesterday.
I used the phrase plantation mentality.
So let me repeat it again because that's what it comes off as, end quote.
The NFL, Mr. Wolf, is 70% black.
I'd imagine the Dallas Cowboys probably fall close to that racial breakdown.
It's probably about 65-35.
They do have a number of white players that play roles that are No longer seen as wide receiver, safety.
They've got a couple starters at these positions.
So they're probably about a 65-35 black-white team.
I'd imagine that the average salary for a Dallas Cowboys player, I'd put it conservatively at $1.2 million.
I'm sorry. That's not a slave.
That's not a slave. To play in the NFL is not a right.
It's a privilege.
You are part of a league.
I read an article recently that O.J. Simpson, while he was in jail, because he's still vested in the NFL pension program, he made something like $800,000.
While he was in jail because he's part of this unbelievable pension program.
The NFL Players Union is incredible.
You know, I think if you play like four years, you're vested in it.
Healthcare coverage. Just unbelievable perks because you had the talent to play in the league.
That's not a slave. Yeah.
I'm sorry. That is not a slave.
The NFL is...
is a form of entertainment just like going to see a movie is and consumers have the right if they are turned off by the actions of the players by the actions of um you know if a team leaves a city to go to another city as we've seen as we saw with uh with Cleveland going to Baltimore and abandoning your fan base people have a right to turn off and and tune out that's what's happening and yes it is entirely along racial lines we are seeing black players Do the whole take a knee because Colin Kaepernick started it, and we know why Colin Kaepernick started it, because so-called police brutality and so-called black inequality in America.
Well, and this week we had the P. Diddy come out and make it even more explicit.
He tweets out that he used to have a dream of owning an NFL team, but now his dream is to own, quote, our own league.
Now, when he says our own, I assume he's not talking about him and his drinking buddies.
He's talking about black people.
Just real quick, for those who might not be in the know, P. Diddy is Sean Puffy Combs, former rapper, now a mogul.
He's worth billions. Tremendous amount of assets.
He's got a lot of money, but he added further, a league where you can be yourself, have a retirement plan, have freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonized for your beliefs as a all caps king.
He brought in the kings.
He said, new dream alert, sell me the NFL now.
I actually am totally in favor of this.
I think that we should have a blacks only NFL league where they can be free to be kings and you know they can kneel all they want and all these things and then whites can go back to playing in leather helmets And, you know, some of these old great images.
We can have, you know, Peyton Manning's dad.
We can have people who look like that instead of, you know, glorified dugs who, you know, end up committing all these crimes and are terrible role models for kids.
We can have a European football league.
It would be amazing. Well, what's fascinating about...
This stuff from P. Diddy.
There's an amazing book called Brand NFL, and it talks about the transformation of the NFL to being just big business.
The salaries of the players in the early 1980s, there wasn't much there.
The salaries really weren't that much better than, you know, a well-paid middle management executive.
When the TV contracts became so much more important toward the revenue of the league in the late 1980s, It's only been in the past roughly 30 years that you've seen the NFL reach NBA levels of racial breakdown.
The NBA is about 80-20 black-white.
The NFL is roughly 70-30 black-white, but a lot of the white players are punters, kickers, and longstaffers.
They play these highly defined skill positions, but they're largely denied the ability to play To play other positions such as cornerback, running back, and there's a great website called Cass Football.
I've written extensively about the discrimination white athletes, talented white athletes face.
But, Mr. Wolf, you're right.
Corporate America would get to decide, do we go with this black league?
Where do our dollars go?
Where does the fan base go?
Which fan base has actual purchasing power?
And just as blacks want their communities to be policed by people who look like them, if I'm going to watch football, I'm much more into playing football.
I like amateur sports.
People should all play football games with their friends.
That's better. But if I'm going to watch a pro sport, maybe I want to watch people who look like me.
How's that? You know what?
It's only natural.
And I'll tell you what is only natural is how enjoyable it's been for you filling in for Mr.
Taylor as he's visiting Europe.
We've gone a little longer Mr.
Taylor and I usually do, but this was such a fun conversation.
You get a little excited. Well, there's so much going on right now.
There's so much to be excited about.
There's so much to be trepidatious about.
But at the same time, when you have a president who refuses to accept the anti-white narrative that is pervasive and prevalent in every other sector of our That's inspiring.
It's inspiring. These are very exciting times.
Thank you again, Paul, for joining us for another episode of Radio Renaissance.
