“I Couldn’t Help Being Born White”

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to today's edition of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with us is our stalwart guest, Paul Kersey, always brimming with insight and wisdom.
And this week, it is no exception.
And this week, again, it's no exception that there's an enormous amount of news of great interest to those who care about the demographic future of the United States.
And I think we're going to lead with the results of a very significant House primary, a Democratic House primary in the Bronx, in which a 28-year-old woman of Puerto Rican extraction, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of these nine jointed hyphenated Hispanic names, defeated Joseph Crowley.
Now Joseph Crowley was a white man who had been in Congress for, you know, ever since, oh, I was a little boy, practically.
And for the last 14 years, he had not even had a Democratic primary challenger.
And this is a young woman Very radical, very radical, who knocks off this white guy who thought he was a shoe-in.
In fact, he was positioning himself to take Nancy Pelosi's place in the leadership.
I was about to say, you may be understating how important this guy was to the Democrats.
He's a guy who, like you just said, the number four Democrat he had been in power, ensconced.
It was almost as if this was a rite of passage, like you noted.
And he was someone who, again, Before we started this podcast, Henry Wolfe and I were joking about how Trump has accelerated things.
A lot of this stuff shouldn't be happening yet, Mr. Taylor.
This was supposed to happen maybe late 2020, early 2030s.
But with Trump, we're seeing the white pale face is forced out.
The white males are being forced out of the Democrat Party.
I know we're going to get to that, but this is such an amazing moment.
Our listeners, they're going to hear this later in the day, maybe tomorrow.
Drudge has been all over this because I think he understands the enormity of the shift that's taking place.
It's hugely, hugely, hugely important.
And she was quoted on the campaign trail and saying, what I see is that the Democratic Party takes working class communities for granted, they take people of color for granted, and poor Crowley.
Although at one point back in May, May 20th, when he thought he was just cruising to an easy victory, he says, I was born for this role.
And he was complaining about how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was making race too much of a subject.
He said, it's all about race.
He says, this is unnecessarily divisive.
What an idea.
What an idea.
A white guy who thinks race might just be divisive.
And then at one point he said, I can't help being born white.
That should be, I hope that's written on his gravestone.
It should be written on his epitaph.
What's really fascinating, here's a guy who spent his entire life making it possible for this demographic eclipsing of white male Democrats from the party.
And not one person is going to shed a tear for him and the end of his political life.
More importantly, not one member of this people of color coalition that's been created to oust him from power.
is going to say we should build a statue to this guy.
We should commemorate his life.
We should name a street after him.
No, if there's anything named after him, a library, a street, a city council building, any plaque that exists for him, it's going to be removed.
Because he stood in the way of this people of color coalition from rising to power.
These white liberals, they think that their pets are going to be grateful.
They think they're going to be grateful.
They're so deluded.
And when the reports came in on election night, he'd rented this big space for a victory party.
People were saying, he was reacting to reporters saying, well, you think I'm going to cry?
Well, I'm going to try not to cry.
Boy, no, this guy, he doesn't realize he's going to be swept aside and completely forgotten by these people.
As you say, he is the kind of guy who paved the way for them.
He is essential to the kind of change the United States has seen that makes this woman possible.
And of course, you know, what probably says the most, just look at the demographics of his district.
50% Hispanic, 16% Asian, 11% Black, only 18% White.
It's a miracle he stayed on as long as he did.
But as I say, for the last 14 years he had no primary challenger.
So this woman breezes in.
I bet six years ago, eight years ago, the same woman, had she been old enough, she's only 28 now, I bet she could have knocked him off long ago.
That district was ready for him.
But no, the real message here is, and I wonder just to what extent white Democrats are seeing this message, is that your days are numbered.
You guys, white men in the Democratic Party, What are you doing?
Oh, we know that's already happening.
Look what happened in Georgia.
We already talked about Stacey Abrams.
You go to Maryland where Ben Jealous just won the gubernatorial primary for the Democrats.
That's right.
And you keep seeing story after story of females, people of color females winning primary after primary after primary with more bellicose anti-white rhetoric and language fueling their campaign.
The Democratic Party in 2018 If the Republicans want to really start going there, they are fueled.
The far left, which is winning because they're showing up at the primaries.
We've spoken about this, Mr. Taylor, on this podcast before.
The primaries are where the most motivated will show up and they'll either elect someone who's far right or they'll elect the moderate.
Same thing goes with the left.
Yeah.
What we're seeing though is the people that are showing up are the ones who are motivated most by bringing about, by forcing this, even if it has to be violently done, and I don't mean violence in the terms of people being attacked, but the rhetoric that's used to violently birth this new Really aggressively anti-white Democrat Party, which is happening so fast.
Oh, it's happening at blinding speed.
And it's quite fascinating to me.
I was reading a little bit about her background.
She was apparently involved in this Standing Rock Sioux Tribe protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
I'm sure you remember that back in 2016.
And she said this experience of standing with the Native Americans was what convinced her that politics was going to be her thing.
I mean, that just could show you what direction she's going in.
And her three big campaign promises were make cottage tuition free, Medicare for everyone, and Abolish ICE.
Abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
That means explicitly open borders.
Anybody in.
Anybody at all.
Now, this Crowley guy, he tried to paint himself as just as ferociously anti-Trump as anybody else because that's how he knew the Democrats were going to win, but Although he was prepared to say that ICE is a fascistic organization or a fascist organization, he couldn't quite bring himself to say that it should be completely abolished.
Well, now he's been abolished.
It's just going to show you what direction these people are going in.
And to me, Also, back in her background, apparently when she was in high school, she won second place in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
Now, I don't know whether they had affirmative action going for non-white females at that time, but you've got to be pretty smart to win that.
You've got to be pretty smart.
She's no dummy.
She went to Boston University, and I would bet you any amount of money at some huge scholarship, This is the kind of thing, you know, white people give money to all these scholarship funds, rearing up racial enemies for their own children.
That's something white people are just really, really good at.
And what is fascinating to me also is that she's a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Had you looked into those people at all, though?
I've only heard about them from when Gregory Hood would go off on some rant to me about, you've got to be reading these people's stuff.
Well, it's pretty doggone interesting.
I had never heard of them until I discovered that she was a member.
They call themselves anti-racist and anti-fascist.
They say, and I'm quoting from their website, we believe that the wider system of racist oppression
can be defeated but only with the ending of the capitalist system which birthed it.
In other words, it's capitalism that gave rise to racism.
Isn't that interesting?
And then they go on to say that their platform, what they stand for, involves deplatforming reactionary and racist groups and events.
That's us.
That's you and me, Mr. Kersey.
That's our radio program.
That's our conferences.
That's our websites.
They believe in shutting us up.
And I wouldn't doubt for a moment that that is part of her program.
Now, it looks as though she's going to be an absolute shoo-in in the general election.
Her opponent is this guy Pappas.
I forget what his first name is.
Anthony Pappas.
He's another old geezer white man in a district in which whites are only 18% of the population.
Good grief.
He doesn't have a chance.
Republicans have never had a chance.
This guy might as well just go on vacation for the next few months.
In any case, she will then be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.
Oh, and she's going to be celebrated in the halls of Congress if she takes her oath of office.
She's already being celebrated by MSNBC.
She's supplanted boring, pale, white male, stale liberalism, which stood in the way, which impeded this wonderful waterfall of the people of color and the ideology.
Again, you read this nonsense and you look down at a place like Venezuela Or the insanity that is Puerto Rico.
I mean, right now you're seeing stories where the Puerto Ricans are saying that it's a civil rights issue, Mr. Taylor, that Puerto Rico be granted statehood.
Now, I believe that Puerto Ricans and the country should be forcibly repatriated back to that island if they want to have so much pride in it.
Go back to the island and go and create what white privilege in America keeps you from creating here.
Exactly.
And they should be independent.
Yes, exactly.
Rulers in their own house.
Yes, exactly.
But, unfortunately, we Live in a society where Cortez believes that the entire world has a right to come here.
Not only a right to come here, but a right to free Medicare and free college.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Let them all in and then give them free college and free Medicare.
Good grief!
And this is the woman who is being absolutely petted, coddled, slobbered over by every bit of media out there.
It is just astonishing.
Well, she's being petted, like you said, by men like Chris Matthews, By Chris Hayes, and who's the other guy on MSNBC?
Tall blonde guy, Lawrence... I can't think of his name.
But MSNBC, these white male liberals, how much longer do they think they have on these shows?
Do they not understand?
How can they be so blind?
This is a symbol of their removal.
They don't get it.
There was a newspaper article quoting a fellow named Simon Rosenberg, a strategist at the New Democratic Network.
He was explaining our victory.
He says, The ideological part is only a very small part.
In other words, her ideology is just somewhat to the left of this guy.
He says there's something deeper going on.
Well, I wonder what that might be, Mr. Simon Rosenberg.
What is it that's deeper that's going on?
Well, we can't talk about it too much, but one of the stories I have seen, she's also very pro-Palestine.
And this is one of those questions that you have to ask yourself, you know.
I'm a big fan of the Gatestone Institute.
I think they do some of the best work imaginable.
And at some point, they've got to start putting out articles What is the future of the United States led by people of color like Cortez with America's view toward Israel?
Israel is going to be completely, continually isolated.
All I want for white people is an ethno-state like the Israelis have, and I don't think that's too much to ask for.
We can be great friends with the nation of Israel, but a people of color led United States of America that's declining, led by people who are Disgustingly anti-white in their rhetoric.
I mean, her views, you know, you hear all these things about, you know, what right-wingers believe and why they should be de-platformed.
I don't think anyone would ever speak that you or I know with the type of language and the type of rhetoric that she's used.
Well, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.
She's never said anything specifically that I think, I would describe as Anti-white.
She just whooped up the fact that she is Puerto Rican.
She's the new voice.
She's a woman.
She said things like, people who look like me aren't supposed to run for Congress.
And I'm a fresh... She hasn't said anything really hateful about white people.
I'd have to go in and look.
I'll tell you what, I'll go in and I'll look at her next week when we come back.
I'll pull up some quotes from her because she definitely is... We must be fair.
We must be fair.
But to me, what is astonishing, well, not astonishing, I should be used to this by now, but it's the white people who are celebrating her as the new face, not only of the Democratic Party, but of the United States.
Here's Dana Milbank, white man, of course, writing at the Washington Post.
He says, her victory, and I quote, clears the way for a new generation to take the reins of the opposition.
He's talking about the Democratic opposition to Donald Trump.
Leaders who appeal to the emerging electoral majority that already dominates the party and will soon dominate the country.
Progressive, young, female, and non-white.
There was a great Dan Watt.
But I mean, really, really, really.
Isn't he insufferable?
He's just saying, you white men, you white men, forget it.
You're done.
This isn't your country anymore.
We don't give a damn about you.
Here's a white guy saying this.
Well, there's that great Dan Rather quote.
I think we talked about it before, but if we haven't, he tweeted out, could you imagine if only white men were able to vote?
Where would we be?
And I'm sure you've seen that great electoral map from 2016 where it shows, well, what happens if only white males could have voted in the 2016 election?
And I believe that the only states that went for the Democrats with white males, I want to say it was Washington or Oregon?
The district.
But it was Oregon or Washington, actually.
Was there actually a whole state?
I believe there was one state.
A majority of white men voted for Hillary?
Yeah, I think there was only one state.
It was either Washington or Oregon.
Cut them loose.
One of these cuck states.
You think about what our founding fathers tried to do.
That's why I always bring up the Naturalization Act of 1790.
For some reason that we can't go back and change, regrettably, but we can try and tell all of our racial compatriots who don't want to admit until it comes in their face, until someone like Cortez sins.
And this is why I don't understand why Cortez, why they want to abolish ICE.
ICE could be retrofitted when they take power to do whatever they want to do.
They could become the new... Well, see, no, see, the way I look at it is this.
I've thought about that myself.
I don't think every Mexican who's here wants all the rest of Mexico to come.
They want enough of Mexico to come so that they completely dominate.
Then, there's nothing to stop them from making our southern border the equivalent of Mexico's southern border.
The Mexicans don't let anybody in.
And once they have got us completely cowed, a small manageable but very productive minority,
Then they will squeeze us, and they will have the country they want.
It won't be the country that we had, but they'll be in charge.
They'll speak Spanish.
They'll celebrate whatever festivals they want, and they'll be able to guard it.
They'll guard the border.
If they decide they want to guard the border, you think Trump's tough?
Boy will they be tough.
Well, this is why I think that most white advocates should start becoming Pro-nuclear disarmament.
So you think about people like Alexandria Cortez having the ability to control the nuclear football.
The left was so worried about Trump having control of it when you realize Trump has done so much for diplomacy around the world.
He's getting ready to meet with Putin in July, you know, we've got the Korea is stabilized, and what about, you know, what do you think would happen to any white, you know, enclave that would happen in, say, 2040 when they take power?
Oh, by the way, the last I heard, I saw a headline, didn't look into this, apparently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now talking about next stop, Perth.
Yes, she has.
Her mother says that's her goal.
No shortage of ambition here, is there?
Well, what I love about, and I know we've got to move on, but this is such an important topic that I know we're going to be talking about a lot leading up to the election in 2018, a few months actually, is that Matthew Drudge is all over this.
And Drudge, you have to wonder, Drudge is a smart guy, and by positioning her in every story, and the rhetoric that's being used, and this idea, this is the future face.
Again, this is happening so fast.
It's all a reaction to Trump, and this is, whites are still a majority in most of the states, and this is the type of stuff that, wait a second, this wasn't the post-racial future we thought we were going to get.
This stuff was on its way well before Trump.
Well before Trump.
But he forced their hand.
He forced their hand.
Oh, their hand.
They are forcing their own hand, I think.
Maybe he has given them a little bit of extra enthusiasm.
But no, this was inevitable well before Trump.
Again, what I hope is that white people open their eyes.
All you white Democrats out there, come on!
Shake off the blinders.
Your days are numbered.
You are hated dinosaurs.
Anyway, we don't have too much time to spend on your favorite president.
As I tell you, I have great reservations about a man of his character.
Donald Trump tweeted out something that I thought was very important just this last week, all in the process of the furor about separating the children from their families and this zero tolerance about prosecuting those who come in for legal entry.
He said, look, we need Our country's immigration policy should simply be, quote, you can't come in.
It's so simple.
It's called, I'm sorry, you can't come in.
And he said, he said, we don't need all these immigration judges.
We don't need all this foolishness.
It's very simple.
You just can't come in.
I mean, I love the simplicity of it.
It's refreshing.
Yes.
This is a complete departure.
And more importantly, we saw Republicans in the House band together to stop what was a grotesque amnesty bill, which this is, I mean, there's a lot of momentum, a lot of positive momentum.
Forcing this issue what's going on?
We're not gonna be able to talk about it I don't think too long but we can briefly touch on what's happening with ice Trump just put out a wonderful statement in support of ice.
He's disgusted by this divisive rhetoric that we're seeing.
I think nationwide we're seeing ICE offices protested by Antifa, by radical leftists.
These are good people who simply want to enforce the law.
You know, I'm not one of these Minkian, Nockian goofballs who thinks the government is at its, you know, evil.
I'm not a libertarian at all.
You know, it's even hard to say, you know, I'm from the right or from the left.
I'm just a white guy who wants to have a country.
Where white people are able to proliferate without being told that the problems of the world all rest on their shoulders.
That's all I want.
Right.
That's all I want.
If it takes leftist ideas or rightist ideas to get there, it doesn't matter.
I'm entirely in your boat.
I don't care.
Maybe we should be 19th century American individualists.
Maybe we should be Scandinavian cradle-to-grave socialists.
I don't care.
Just let white people be white.
Then we can have debates about that.
Yes, it will work.
And maybe there'll be white countries in one way, white countries in another way.
But no, no, no.
We cannot be us.
One of the slogans that I coined at the time of the first American Renaissance Conference in 1994 was, we have the right to be us, and only we can be us.
I think that pretty much, I mean, I don't mean to toot my horn too much, but I think that pretty well sums it up.
But anyway, in this context of Trump saying, look, none of this foolishness about legal this and judicial that, you know, no, you can't come in.
Now, I don't know if he's got the guts.
Now that of course he has, this travel ban has been legalized, I don't see any legal obstacle to him saying our travel ban applies to every Central American country and Mexico.
Can't come in.
If you don't have a green card, if you don't have a citizen, you just can't come in.
What's to stop him?
I don't think there's any legal obstacle to that.
Now, does he have the backbone?
Does he have the will to do that?
I mean, that would be a titanic thing to do, but I think he now has that legal authority.
I think he does.
I think what we're seeing and this kind of is a nice segue to our next conversation.
Think about all that's happened.
We live in such a different country than the one we were speaking about last week.
Sarah Huckabee was kicked out of a restaurant.
The owner followed her to another restaurant and was harassing her.
Oh, I didn't know about that.
Followed her all the way to another restaurant.
So public displays of basically a Trump supporter who's out there on television showing up at a restaurant now is in the eyes of the left someone who can be harassed, someone who can be kicked out of a restaurant.
We just saw a month ago, Mr. Taylor, two months ago, we saw two black males in a Starbucks which basically shut down Starbucks nationwide to lecture about white privilege nonsense.
They have a right to be there, blah, blah, blah.
Nobody cares about Sarah Huckabee's individual right to go to some restaurant.
Now, as a believer in freedom of association, I love the fact that restaurants have the
right to say who can and who can't come in.
So I'm not going to be a hypocrite here and say I disagree with this owner.
You're a libertarian after all.
Well, no, no, no, no, no.
In a racial democracy like the one we live in, I do want freedom of association because I want owners of businesses to be able to recognize pattern recognition and say, hey, we don't want to have blacks here, they steal.
But my point is, The dishonest intellectual climate that we live in where Starbucks, bad.
Little Hen, good for doing this.
Yes, yes.
It's simply astonishing.
I guess you saw also that Mitch McConnell, he was surrounded by guys who were harassing him.
And his wife, Elaine Chao, had to come off and fend them off.
It looked like they were about to manhandle her for heaven's sake.
Mitch McConnell.
He's about as tame as... He's married.
He's married to an Asian woman.
He's still a... He has the same political views as our friend Mr. Crowley, who just got voted out, basically.
They aren't that far apart, if you actually think about it.
No, I don't think... He hasn't yet called ICE a fascist organization.
He hasn't.
I can imagine without too much trouble.
And Ari Fleischer.
Now, this is interesting, too.
Ari Fleischer, he was the press secretary for George W. Bush, and the idea of, you know, these Republican people, spokesmen for Trump being kicked out of restaurants, etc.
He tweeted, he said, I guess we're heading into an America with Democrats-only restaurants, which will lead to Republicans-only restaurants.
Don't the fools who threw Sarah out and the people who cheer them on, really, do they really want us to be that kind of country?
Pretty mild.
Pretty mild.
Did you realize Twitter labeled that post sensitive content?
Ari Fleischer's post was sensitive.
His tweet was sensitive.
You had to click a button acknowledging that you were willing to go look at what might be inappropriate content.
Well, I've got to tell you, Twitter to me is becoming superfluous because they've made it... Back in 2015, Vox Day's website and SVPDL were two sites that you could no longer link to on Twitter.
This is in 2015, late 2015.
Now, I found a way to get around that, but they've basically shadow-banned SVPDL.
So, if you post something from that site, it just doesn't exist.
And so that's what's going to happen.
When you guys are allowed back on, I'm afraid they'll do the same thing.
Well, see, hopefully, if we get allowed back on, it will be due to a judge's decision that prevents this kind of horsing around.
But anyway.
But all of this is leading, all of this incredible tension, this incredible hostility.
And we talked about that Philadelphia congressman who greeted the arrival of the Vice President of the United States to his district with a middle finger and get bent and get out.
Gee, I mean, I guess I'm just old-fashioned, Mr. Kersey.
I just do not expect even political opponents to behave in that way.
But we're getting to that point, and apparently a Rasmussen poll says that 31% of probable U.S.
voters say it's likely the United States will have a second civil war sometime in the next five years.
31%!
11% of them say it's very likely.
No, I certainly don't think it's at all likely, frankly.
But it is apparently non-whites who are more convinced that we have civil war on the horizon.
44% of blacks think a second civil war is likely in the next five years.
28% of whites only, but 36% of other minority voters.
What the heck?
Do they really believe that there's going to be a shooting war?
My suspicion is this reflects their willingness, their expectation.
They are hopping mad to the point where they want to shoot.
Whereas, of course, it's white who should be hopping mad.
Well, these are also people who believe that they're being singled out and hunted down by police, by racist police nationwide.
All that stuff.
Yep, yep.
Now, this is all quite interesting.
You know, Rasmussen does really interesting, they ask interesting questions, get interesting answers.
59% of all voters are concerned that those opposed to President Trump's policies will revort to violence.
They've already resorted to violence, fellas.
Remember on Inauguration Day, they were burning, they were smashing storefronts, burning limousines.
Too late, fellas, they're already doing it.
With 30%, 33% are very concerned.
Now, also, I thought this was quite interesting.
Just before Trump's inauguration, 50% of the voters felt that America was more divided after 8 years of the Obama presidency.
Half of Americans thought that 8 years of Obama made the country more divided.
Of course, that was a stark contrast to all the rhapsodizing about the millennium that was to come.
It was going to be Cadillac with this new post-racial president.
But now, 55% of voters believe America is more divided.
But, now this is quite interesting too.
Apparently, fully 42% of all voters say the country's headed in the right direction.
Now, you know, when people say, is the country headed in the right direction?
I always want to ask the pollster, not that I was asked, but if I were asked, well, wait a minute, what aspect?
I mean, are you talking about foreign policy, domestic policy?
What are the variables that come?
What's going on here?
But I guess people have some overall sense of things are going well, things are going poorly.
42% say the country is headed in the right direction.
Now, I would never have guessed this figure, but in the last year of Barack Obama's presidency, what percentage of the American voters thought that the country was moving in the right direction?
Remember, it's 42% now.
In the last year of Barack Obama's presidency, what percentage would you have thought the country was moving in the right direction?
Oh, I would be, I would say upper 50s.
I think that a lot of people in the country obviously thought it was, so I would say that.
You know what the number is?
What's the number?
Mid to upper 20s.
That blows my mind.
That blows my mind because you think about all the positive press he was getting.
Exactly.
No one ever criticized any of his actions.
That's right.
He was the untouchable golden boy.
But this to me is a remarkable testimony to the extent that Americans at some level think for themselves.
As you say, the media fawned over him, start to finish.
There was nothing he could do wrong.
The media hate Donald Trump.
He could bring peace to Korea.
He could denuclearize the peninsula.
And Washington Post and New York Times and Time Magazine would still think he was an absolute ogre.
And yet, 42% of Americans think the country is moving in the right direction.
Pretty interesting.
Well, I'll tell you one of the things that makes me believe that Trump has changed things and there's no going back.
The Republican Party just put out an amazing compilation of the media calling for violence against Trump supporters and basically labeling Trump as the biggest bigot and any Trump supporter who still supports this guy is worthy of whatever happens to him.
Like we just talked about Mitch McConnell being harassed, Sarah Huckabee being kicked out of a restaurant.
The GOP put this out as a commercial.
You see a lot of people on our site talk about accelerationism and I don't think we really understand how fast things are changing.
You know, last year at this time we were talking about how wonderful it was before the horrendous events of August and the disaster that was Charlottesville, how the best thing that Trump had done was normalize the concept that Antifa is the true enemy of the American people and what they're trying to do, the violence they represent.
That was a great thing that he's done, but now what Trump has done is basically show The left wants to end American sovereignty by having open borders.
This is where they are.
And guess what?
The mainstream media?
Forget about it.
They're on the same side.
They're advocating this.
Liberals who have caught the drift of that.
I think Chris Matthews was reported as saying, hold on, fellas, hold on.
You're making it sound as though we want absolutely anybody to come in at any time.
And that ain't going to play too well in a lot of the country.
Some of them realize that that is not a winning formula.
But no, there's no question.
Even during the height of the Vietnam War, I don't recall anyone ever cornering Clark Clifford or McNamara personally, going to his house, Or approaching him in public and heck, and the people were much more accessible in those days.
Much more accessible.
Now everybody's sort of guarded by these guys in dark glasses and headphones on and in their black limousines.
It was much more accessible in those days.
This is 1970s.
Nobody behaved that way, even at the height of the hippie era.
And now you've got these people, Mitch McConnell for heaven's sake, the most milquetoast, heartless guy imaginable.
And they want to heckle him and yell at him and tell him he's, I'll use all these four-letter words against him.
No, things are changing in a big, big way.
No question about that.
But some things do not change.
And one of the things that has not changed is all of these crazy, silly attempts to improve schools.
This is a big report out on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's multi-million dollar, multi-year effort in making teachers more effective.
fell flat. The Rand Corporation and the American Institute of Research, also by the way, they
were funded by the Gates Foundation, he hired these independent guys to find out if it was working.
And they had enough good sense to say, sorry Billy Boy, it ain't working.
Your attempts at racial alchemy have failed, my friend.
Ah, that's right.
They didn't quit it in quite those terms.
But we will.
But yes, we will.
The Gates Foundation, they had three large school districts, Memphis, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, and Hillsborough County, Florida.
The foundation gave them $212 million over six years, and the districts put up matching funds, total cost initiatives, $575 million.
That is a big chunk of change.
That's over half a billion dollars.
And they were going to have new teacher evaluation systems, individualized professional development.
They were going to revamp recruitment, hiring, placement.
As the Rand Corporation discovers, no big payoffs.
No.
Whether we're talking about graduation rates, achievements of student in general, and low-income and minority students in particular.
And of course, it is the low-income and minority that everybody wants to help.
Half a billion poured into this.
That's the key.
That's the key needle everybody wants to move.
Sorry, didn't move.
And of course, This reminds me of, remember, Mark Zuckerberg's great, flamboyant, trumpets-blaring decision in 2010 to give $100 million to the Newark Public Schools.
Newark, of course, is one of these overwhelmingly black, miserable places where if any learning takes place, it's how many grams to the ounce.
No, I believe Newark is about 11% white and it's largely Portuguese whites who have this one really nice part of town that has some restaurants that I have some friends from New Jersey who've said, if you're ever in that area, you actually should try these restaurants.
But like you said, the public school system, I would imagine, I'll go out on a limb and say the public school system in Newark might have five actual legitimate white students whose parents are like our friend Crowley who are these white liberals to the end and they believe that their children should go to the public school system and they have no problem with them being devoured by this belief in racial alchemy and that by osmosis non-white children, we should say this, non-white Asian minorities being around white people is somehow going to rub off the intelligence and make them better
Better students.
It's all going to be happy for them, happy for the whites.
But apparently, the New York Public Schools and other philanthropists, I hadn't heard about this at the time, I was just looking this up, other philanthropists came up with another $100 million.
That was $200 million just for one school district, New York.
Cory Booker at the time, I remember because I did something on this, I want to say for V-Dare, Cory Booker, he wasn't a sinner yet, he was still the mayor, and he was able to use his connections with corporations to get this matching donation basically.
Corporations from Coca-Cola to Home Depot, all their foundations, the Ford Foundation, and just say, hey, look what this guy Mark Zuckerberg's doing.
Because remember, this was before Facebook even had their IPO.
Facebook didn't have their IPO until 2013, I believe.
So Zuckerberg, to do this, that was a big chunk of change out of his pocketbook.
And they were hoping this was going to be able to be a platform for nationwide change.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been working on this practically from the beginning.
This has been one of their big, big ideas, is that the reason why these low-income people and non-whites don't do Well, I guess we should tie this up about the New York School District.
It, of course, was a tremendous flop.
$200 million, pretty much swaddled up with nothing to show for it.
Nothing to show for it.
And even the New York people realized that.
Cory Booker later on said, well, some of it was misspent.
Yeah, misspent.
I'm sure a lot of it was misspent, but the point is, people have been educating fellow human beings for thousands of years.
It's something that we do more or less instinctively.
Some people do it better than others, but it's not something that you can wave a magic wand and suddenly make it start happening in a different and remarkable way.
And I am reminded of those super intensive preschool programs.
I don't know if you were, uh, this was even before my time.
I don't remember the Abyssidarian project.
The Perry Preschool Project.
Those were back in the 1960s.
And they had this very, very intensive training.
They would take these young black children, maybe two, three, four years old, and spent eight hours a day with them.
Just pumping, pumping, pumping information into them.
And they could get them to do better for a while.
But there was no lasting gain.
And that's the same, every evaluation, every serious evaluation of Head Start has resulted in exactly the same thing.
Head Start was built, I think that's another Kennedy, I'm sorry, a Johnson era Great Society program.
1965, yeah.
The idea was you were going to get these poor disadvantaged children from these black households primarily and give them a head start.
Get them to the starting line, along with middle-class white people, and when the firing gun goes off, man, they'll all end up at the finish line together.
It never works.
It never works.
And I'm just astonished that they continue doing this over and over and over again.
The idealism, the blindness, and the racial altruism of whites just knows no end.
We know that practically every innovation in schools, all of these radical retoolings of the curriculum, it's not because white people are failing to learn or Asians are failing to learn.
It's because blacks and Hispanics are failing to learn.
So you've got to turn the whole school upside down because of those groups.
And, of course, the only time we ever see the racial gap close is when great inflation occurs, like in Atlanta Public Schools, which they're making a movie about.
I'm sure white people will be the villain in that upcoming film.
Again, alchemists in the Middle Ages and medieval Europe thought they could turn a rock into gold.
Racial alchemists believed that any non-Asian minority, black or brown child, if we just put enough money at the problem, They're going to perform exactly as a white child can.
That's right.
If not better.
There was some fellow lately, I think he was either a city councilman or a congressman, who was pointing out that, maybe it was the Nashville School District, there's just not enough white children to go around.
No, there aren't.
There's not enough white children to go around.
Here you want integration, well, you know.
And it is alchemy.
The idea is that if you have a black child sitting next to a white child, or a Mexican sitting next to a white child, it's going to be this magical interaction.
Everybody's going to turn white.
By osmosis.
Doesn't happen.
Just doesn't happen.
But again, to me, here you have Bill and Melinda Gates.
With their failed enterprise and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
That is the foundation that's put together by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan.
Isn't that her name?
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
They announced they're teaming up with Bill and Melinda Gates for another big national education initiative.
One failure joins yet another failure.
You know, this reminds me of the two rocks theory of mergers.
You know, you have one lousy company that merges with another lousy company.
This is an economics professor of mine who was talking way back in the days when I was an actual banker.
He says it's the two rocks theory.
The theory is you put one rock in a paper bag, it'll sink if you throw it in the water.
You put two rocks in, maybe they'll float.
But this is here you got one failed charity joining up with yet another failed charity and they think they're gonna make it work.
Keep dreaming fellas.
Well it's funny you say keep dreaming because in a place that I have a lot of genetic heritage from, a place that this magical thinking has unfortunately been the modus operandi for all of their political decisions since probably the 1970s.
I'm talking about Sweden.
Even our friends in Sweden are beginning to question, was it worth it?
Was embracing progressive causes, which ended up basically becoming, for lack of a better term, importing Swedish genocide, white genocide, into the nation, was it worth it?
And it's just human nature, really, when you think about it.
But this is this recent report on the number of Swedes who are questioning the sustainability of their famed cradle-to-grave welfare system.
And what they have found is that with this influx of more than 600,000 immigrants over the last five years, Afghans, Syrians, Somalis, this is too much for a country of 10 million people.
It's not just numbers, it's the people themselves.
They come and they go on welfare without the slightest compunction.
Whereas the Swedes, I mean again, you and I, sometimes we have different conceptions
of what it is that white societies build.
But if you have a welfare system of a homogeneous people, then you are more willing to kick
into it if you know that the people who are on it might be Aunt Nelly or your great Aunt
Gertrude.
And what's more, great-aunt Gertrude is going to go off welfare when she can because she knows that her great-nephew Paul Kersey is paying the taxes.
There is a kind of familial aspect to this that completely breaks down when people don't have that shared genetic cultural kinship.
And at the same time, in Sweden, they've got these crime rates that are shooting up, gang violence, complaints about education, and all of a sudden, you've got so many pregnant women showing up at the clinics to give birth that the few Swedes who are giving birth have to stay in line!
You can't find a place, you can't find a bed in a maternity clinic for a Swede because they're all full of these Afghans and Somalis.
Good grief!
Now, and of course in some polls I think it's great, the Sweden Democrats have overtaken the Social Democrats as the country's biggest party.
You know, whenever they talk about the Sweden Democrats in the mainstream press, they always say, fascist origin.
You know, maybe... But they love this kind of thing.
The National Front in France.
Fascist origin.
Demonize, demonize, demonize.
Double down on the demonization.
But these are the people, of course, who care about Sweden remaining Swedish.
But, you know, it could be the next... I think they've got another set of elections coming up.
I believe it's in September.
Coming up fairly soon.
And boy, if the Sweden Democrats came in as the number one party, that would be extraordinary.
But that would show part of this complete breakdown in the traditional social contract of Sweden.
Now, there was an aspect of this that I thought was really quite interesting.
In the southern part of Lapland, and that's way north of Sweden, there is one police car.
They've got one police car to cover an area almost the size of Denmark.
One police car!
But that's all they needed.
That's all they needed.
That type of social trust, I mean, it's on my, you know, I probably sold three police cars on my way over here.
That's right.
I mean, the population was, you know, slim, of course, not too many people, but the size of Denmark.
I mean, wow, one police car.
Well, that's not enough anymore.
Here's this, they're quoting this store owner, Camilla Appelquist, in the village of Dorotea.
She says, times have changed.
She's had three break-ins since February.
And what the intruders do is they clear out all the tobacco and snuff and all kinds of things, money and everything else from her store.
And this is just heartbreaking.
When she called the police to come to the most recent incident at 3.30 in the morning, she was told there was nobody available.
Nobody available.
The local police station is staffed only one day a week.
Only one day a week.
And the advice she got?
Improve security so people can't get in.
As the West falls, the Third World rises and everything that we took for granted about our security and social cohesion and social capital evaporates.
It's gone.
It goes into the red because it's non-existent.
And that debt can never be repaid.
Once the Swedes are replaced, guess what?
There's no bank to go borrow more Swedish capital when the Swedes are gone and they're demographically supplanted.
And you know, another thing about the Swedes, they have been very, very careful financially.
They've got a budget surplus.
They've had one for a long time.
But now, the proportion of respondents to polls who think that Swedish taxes are too high has jumped to 45% from just 27% in 2014.
They are seeing where their money is being spent and they don't like it.
You know, there's a name for the fact that people are happier to vote for welfare in a homogeneous, it's called the Florida effect.
And it got its name, of course, from the fact that in Florida you have all these old white people and young non-whites, mostly Hispanics.
And what you find is that they're just not very willing to vote money for schools.
Now why would that be?
And in homogeneous states in Maine, in Minnesota, well Minnesota is less and less the case, but in these places where it's mostly white people, the old people are happy to vote for their children because they're their children.
What an idea.
They're white.
So yes, Sweden, you know, this is the process that's taking place all around the world.
The Swedes are waking up.
Let's hope that thanks to this lovely Alexandria that white Democrats will wake up.
But the question is, are we waking up in time?
And I sure hope so, but there are a whole lot more of us waiting.
Oh, I think we're, I think, uh, I think due to this accelerationism happening well before it was scheduled to occur because of the interruption, this deus ex machina known as Donald Trump, it's forced their hand and it's had a worldwide cataclysmic effect upon the egalitarian world order as we're talking right now.
I believe it's either today or tomorrow where the, uh, what is it?
The Visigoth coalition is going to be meeting.
Is that the word?
I'm sorry, yeah.
As I started to say it, I realized I was wrong.
My point is, they're going to be meeting in Brussels or somewhere with Macron and Merkel.
There's this big debate that's going to be happening.
And we still don't know if Merkel's going to be able to hold on to this coalition.
She's hanging on by a thread.
And you've gone on record and said you think she's going to do just enough to convince everyone to stay.
I believe that she's going to have to double down because, again, you cannot give People that you've demonized as fascists, an ounce of oxygen, or else guess what?
More and more people are going to realize you can breathe in this climate.
She'll stay.
Survival is the first law for politics.
Guess what?
It didn't work for our friend Mr. Crowley.
Well, but you see, he was supplanted by an electorate that he never had a chance with.
She's still got some flexibility.
But anyway, last, quite an interesting little story, I thought.
You called this to my attention.
It was a story about this Netflix communications chief named Jonathan Friedland.
He reportedly used the N-word.
I tried to find out if he actually called a black person the n-word.
I couldn't find it either.
No, and it sounds as though he was simply using the word in the context of certain words that we should not use.
I mean, he wasn't using it in the usual malicious sense.
He just pronounced the word.
And apparently for a white person, for these syllables to emerge from a white person's mouth, no matter what the context, even if you're reading Huckleberry Finn and it's in the text.
Then you're out.
Well, he's out.
Now, to me, this was quite interesting.
First of all, the head of the company apologized and he said that his white privilege had prevented him from realizing just how awful this is.
This happened several months ago, but now he realizes it's got to go out.
But, the really interesting question, the really interesting aspect of this was, again, you call this to my attention, I think it's quite fascinating, all the institutional investors are looking at Netflix's board and its lack of racial diversity.
And here we have the Service Employees International Union and the California State Teachers Retirement System.
They got loads of money and they spend it by making investments in publicly held companies.
They wanted a change in how the board is selected because, and here's the letter that they sent, And I quote, unlike 81% of its peers in the S&P 500,
Netflix does not have any racial or ethnic diversity on its board.
It's 100% white.
And he's right.
Furthermore, despite Netflix's global reach, the board does not have a single member based outside the West Coast of the United States.
So, nothing but white people.
How did Netflix ever, ever grow to dominate and become a company with market capitalization larger than Disney almost?
How did they ever grow to be so big without any diversity on their board is my question.
You see, that is precisely the right question.
During a year in which Netflix stock has risen 100% and the S&P has gone nowhere.
100%!
They have outperformed the entire S&P 500, probably the best performing company, one of the best performing companies on the stock exchange.
And they are saying they're doing something wrong?
Now, their stock is tremendous.
I mean, you look at the growth of the past, I don't even think they've been around for five years as a publicly traded company, but if you look at the growth, it is stunning.
If you just invested $1,000, what would it be worth now?
Now, why do these institutional investors, these institutional investors who are making out like bandits, and all they care about is getting some non-white faces, what in heaven's name is that?
It's just going to show you, you tend to think of people as being Well, when the push comes to shove, they know where the money goes.
But here they're trying to kill the golden... They got golden eggs.
Why are they going to kill this hen?
It's astonishing to me.
And you know what they finally did?
Netflix decided, under great pressure from all these institutional investors, that they're going to hire their first black director.
Do you remember who that was going to be?
I think it was Susan Rice, right?
Susan Rice?
The Obama admin.
Susan Rice!
Now, she, no doubt, she's a prominent black lady.
She was on the National Security Council.
She was Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs under Bill Clinton.
Tell me.
She passed the brown paper bag test, though, Mr. Taylor, if you've seen a picture of her.
So very light-skinned, black lady.
No, she's officially black.
But tell me, what does she know about digital business?
What can she possibly bring to this enormously successful company?
What?
Has she ever had to balance?
Does she know how to read a balance sheet?
Does she know what a P.E.
ratio is?
Good grief!
But the fact, you know, this is going to make all these people happy, that they have a genuine black lady face on the board of directors.
And they're going to keep them coming.
They're going to find more and more ways to replace, just as we're seeing the Oscars is trying to do everything they can to add more non-white People of color members.
Everything that was once working must be deliberately destroyed in the name of diversity.
I'm sure Susan Rice is a charming lady and I'm sure she's, well, who knows what she's gonna push for.
She's gonna push for this, all this usual diversity.
Who knows?
Maybe she will just sit quietly in her corner and get her very, I'm sure, very rich compensation as a director and not make any trouble.
Well, or she'll get a lot of stock options.
And that's going to make her even richer until the diversity quota capsizes the board and we see other directions.
But this to me, it typifies the utter insanity of white people.
They look at a company that is outperforming everybody and they say, got to change.
Speaking of change, I want to thank everyone who has sent in the diversity data for their respective college or university.
Please keep them coming.
I've got a really tremendous database.
A lot of schools still to go, so if you would, basically what we want you to do is look at your alma mater's website, find out how much they spend on the diversity center per year, how many employees they have, and obviously the budget.
Just send a link over from the webpage and we can then, you know, extrapolate that data and really put together a powerful presentation, Excel spreadsheet, and a story that shows, that quantifies the cost of diversity of this initiative across college campuses.
So send that over to sbpdl1 at gmail.com.
Once again, that website is sbpdl1 at gmail.com.
And thank you to all those who have sent it in.
I've got over 50 right now, so it's awesome.
That really showcases how much you guys care.
And I know I speak for Mr. Taylor, we can't thank you guys enough for listening to these podcasts.
Yes, always a pleasure to host them.
And thanks so much for coming in.
And we'll see you next week.
Hey, for Jared Taylor, I'm Paul Kersey.
Our time is up.
