‘Abolish ICE’
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to today's edition of Radio Renaissance, and it is Independence Day.
It's the 4th of July, and Paul Kerzing, our dependable commentator and guest, and I are spending part of this Independence Day speaking to you.
Because we think it's important to think about the independence of our people, not necessarily from Britain, but from certain other toils and self-imposed mental limitations that have hampered our people.
Just as Mr. Kersey was saying in the seconds before we started this podcast, we have a problem.
We have a problem of convincing white people that they have the right to survive.
It's moral and just that we declare our independence from this, like you said, a self-imposed tyranny.
And we are at a critical juncture in our people's history on the planet, not just in the United States, not just in the Western Hemisphere, but worldwide.
And we're going to talk about that again because there are heroes rising.
And as we speak on this Independence Day, we hope you and your families are having a wonderful day.
But realize that true liberty, hey, it wasn't one back in 1776.
We're still fighting for it.
We are still fighting for it.
And we will have to fight just as hard as our ancestors did to gain true independence.
And as I say, primarily from this self-imposed mental prison.
But I see great shafts of light breaking through the bars, breaking through the darkness, even breaking through chinks in the stone.
So I'm optimistic.
But first, let's discuss this crazy leftist movement that seems to have sprung up recently.
The idea that they're going to abolish ICE.
This is, of course, the part of the Homeland Security Department.
It's Immigration Customs Enforcement, and its job is to remove illegal immigrants who are here already.
And also it has a very important investigatory role.
But the idea of obliterating and getting rid of ICE has become a kind of a sign of progressive leftism.
Oh, for example, Representative Mark Pocan, Democrat of Wisconsin, says ICE has been abused by the current president.
He says what it's doing is not the original functions of ICE.
The president has irreparably broken ICE.
He wants to ditch the whole thing and start over.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
She says, get rid of it.
Reimagine it.
Build something that actually works.
And Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren says ICE should be replaced with something that reflects our morality.
Oh boy.
And she has complained about Trump's deeply immoral actions.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, California Senator Kamala Harris, who you think will be the Democrats' candidate for president next time around.
I do.
They all are talking about at least a deep, deep re-examination of the agency.
And so yes, this has become kind of a mark of, if you're really a virtuous lefty, you are really on the bandwagon for getting rid of ICE.
And of course, last podcast, we talked about this Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Who in the Bronx and Queens knocked off the old white Democratic Party big wig, and she is likely to become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.
When the Huffington Post asked her, Before her upset victory, what her first priority would be in Congress, she didn't hesitate.
Abolish ICE.
Of course, she wasn't the first congressional candidate pushing to abolish ICE.
Deb Haaland, H-A-A-L-A-N-D, Perfectly good white person in New Mexico's first congressional district.
She also won her primary and she's pushing for the abolition of ICE.
I wouldn't dub her a perfectly good white person.
She's a perfectly good white person in the eyes of the anti-white corporate state that has arisen.
And Mr. Taylor, this is one of those moments that again, is only possible because of a guy like Donald Trump,
who's actually unleashing ICE to do its actual job as described under the Department of Homeland Security
to protect the national interest.
And this is one of those galvanizing moments that wouldn't be possible had a Ted Cruz
or one of the other candidates who ran that Donald Trump defeated in the primary back in 2016.
This is such a pivotal moment that it's forcing again,
forcing your average Republican to make a decision.
Do we actually want to have a country or do we open the borders as the far left, which is dragging the left toward their position, is advocating for?
Well, it's interesting to me because it's forcing even Democrats to draw lines.
Because Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, he's saying, no, no, we don't necessarily want to abolish ICE.
It's got some functions that are very much needed.
He wants reformation, reforming the agency instead.
But, you know, to talk about abolishing ICE, this just goes to show you how utterly ignorant these politicians are.
Because, guess what?
It's not even ICE that's separating families at the border.
This is what's been this whole huge craziness about abolish ICE.
That is customs and border protection.
There are three elements that are involved in immigration, what used to be the INS, Immigration and Nationalization Services.
Back after the 2011 attacks, this was all reorganized, the Department of Homeland Security was established, and we have ICE.
Then we have Customs and Border Protection.
That used to be the Border Patrol.
And then we have a group called Citizen and Immigration Services.
All of this used to be part of ICE.
But it's not.
It is the people who are doing the Border Patrol that separate these families.
And they're doing it under orders from Donald Trump, saying that instead of the old catch and release, what you're going to do is every time somebody enters the country illegally, you're going to prosecute them for illegal entry.
Crime.
Not just put a slap on the hand, turn them loose, and say you've got a court date six months from now.
And of course disappear into the interior.
So it's not even ice that's doing this.
This is just such spectacular stupidity.
But and I think it's interesting to me that it is apparently Latino groups who have a much more sensible understanding of this.
They say this idea of abolishing ice is a distraction.
from the broader goal of comprehensive immigration reform, which of course by that they mean amnesty for illegals, and the immediate goal of DACA.
And they see the push as mostly coming from white-dominated progressive groups, not Latino organizations.
And they actually, I would argue, they are correct about that.
If you've looked at some of these protests nationwide in places like Portland, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Hardly a brown face.
It's just a bunch of white people.
If you say physiognomy is real, you look at these people and you're like, man, where do these white people come from?
Shouldn't they be serving people in Starbucks and lecturing people on their white privilege?
It's fascinating to watch all of this happen from a distance because who continues to poke the left?
Donald Trump.
Obviously, you've got your Your lawsuit against Twitter, so this is something you don't see right now, but Donald Trump, this is all he's been talking about.
So once again, this issue, this issue becomes a crystallizing moment for the upcoming midterm elections.
Very much so.
Very much so.
And now there are some Democrats who are concerned that if their party is seen as running around talking about abolishing ICE, That most Americans, and entirely understandably, will see that as a desire to entirely abolish the border.
Completely open borders.
And even Democrats recognize that that is a dangerous, dangerous position to take.
Now, for me, the ideal midterm elections will be fought on that very issue.
Those who want to abolish ICE and those who don't.
And I would love to see these ICE abolitionists, the new abolitionists, if you will.
That's a great term.
I would love to see them defeated even in heavenly democratic jurisdiction, but we'll see.
I mean, there are going to be other issues as well.
As the Democrats are saying, it's much, much easier to talk about free college tuition.
It's much easier to talk about Medicaid for everyone than abolishing ICE.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
A lot of ordinary Americans, even lefties, do not like the idea of letting absolutely anybody in.
You hear some amazing phrases born on this show, the genesis of stuff that I've seen pop up and percolate on the internet.
You know, border abolitionists I think is a great term that you just You know, serendipitously, spontaneously coined.
And that is what I think motivates these Latino groups.
They know the writing's on the wall for white America, for Anglo-Americans in Arizona, Texas.
California's the future of all those states.
They just need to keep their mouths shut and they need to tell these white progressives, slow down on the Trotskyite language, guys.
Slow down.
We're going to get there.
And then, hey, guess what?
You guys are going to the back of the line, too.
We're in charge.
All you pale faces get out of the way.
You're going to ruin it for us.
You know, the piñata is not ready to be hit yet.
That's right.
That's right.
It's not.
If they start talking about basically open borders, those sleepwalking white people might just wake up.
And then, you know, who knows?
DACA might not happen.
Comprehensive immigration reform might not happen.
Aunt Juanita might not be able to stay after all.
White people regrettably need dramatic examples to shake them out of their apathy, and this is the type of moment.
A sustained campaign by the left to talk about this, and then Donald Trump counterattacking, forcing the GOP to put out commercials that would be unthinkable six months ago.
would be unthinkable that they're putting out commercials detailing, pointing out this is what they want.
The Democrats want open borders.
I'm talking about the GOP putting out commercials highlighting borders.
Let's go back to a great man who died back in 2005.
Sam Francis always said famously, you have the stupid party and the evil party.
The stupid party Shockingly is having some sense knocked into it by a guy named Donald Trump.
And you know what?
He's using a lot of the rhetoric, even though unbeknownst to him, that you and Peter Brimlow have been almost speaking into the... you would think almost into the wilderness that no one's listening.
But as we're about to talk about, there are people who realize you might be an intellectual Giant behind some of this stuff.
No, no, no.
Let's keep things in perspective.
But it apparently is the case that the intellectual forefather, as they say, of the Abolish ICE movement is a New York City fellow named Sean McElwee.
Now, he claims to be the co-founder of a think tank called Data Progress, but I can see no trace of Data Progress anywhere on the Internet.
But he did write for The Atlantic for a while, although not since the last three years or so.
But apparently in a March column in The Nation, that respectable, very conservative, well, anyway, in The Nation, he wrote a column called, It's Time to Abolish ICE.
And why did he think in terms of abolishing ICE?
Because he apparently read an essay written in 2015 by your servant, Jared Taylor.
And at that time, I argued in support of then-candidate Donald Trump's plan to deport all undocumented illegal immigrants, including those without criminal histories.
And that's when he got this idea that ICE was some sort of ethnic cleansing vehicle.
I mean, like so many lefties, like so many lefties, he seems to have this McElwee guy has this cuckoo idea that if you are opposed to illegal immigration, if you want to deport illegal immigrants, you must be motivated only, only, only by racial animus.
This is just such consistent stupidity on the part of the left.
It really makes me tired.
But he sees the idea of deporting illegal immigrants, whether they're criminals or not, as simply a matter of ethnic cleansing.
And that's why he decided we're going to just abolish ICE.
And the idea he had was that the Abolish ICE campaign was going to be something like Occupy Wall Street, in which it's going to be this grassroots bubbling up of fury against ICE.
And it was going to get to the point where his idea was to make the idea of ICE so absolutely toxic, so associated with evil and wickedness, that everybody would rally behind it and ICE would be destroyed.
Well, as I just pointed out earlier, ICE isn't even separating the people at the border.
This is just all cuckoo.
And the other important thing about ICE is, as you know, Mr. Kersey, there are actually more employees of ICE involved in looking for international and immigrant criminals.
than there are doing the interior removals.
Now, in my little essay back in 2015, I had written that ICE would not have to really exert itself very much.
All it would have to do is engage in a few high-profile deportations of people who were here illegally, but were not criminals.
And everybody would scream, everybody would hoop and holler, but if illegals got the idea that ICE is serious, we're going to come and get you all eventually.
They, rather than waiting to be plucked at the bus stop or just on the way home from work, they would decide, okay, this country is serious.
We will get our affairs together and leave.
They would self-deport.
That was my theory.
And it's completely true because we have seen strategic deportations by ICE.
They have done high-profile raids of these businesses that employ legals from these chicken farms where these individuals are working for who knows, you know, what peanuts.
But they go in, they swoop in.
Of course, without you verify, you have no idea what type of infestation you have.
It's funny what you just said about strategic deportation.
There was a big story yesterday, a Hollywood actress by the name of Amberhead.
She's going to be a star in the upcoming Aquaman film.
She tweeted out, hey, you got to be careful with all these immigration checkpoints.
Go hide your gardener.
Go hide your housekeeper, your nannies.
We got to protect them.
Almost admitting what this mass invasion represents.
It goes back to that great Michael Bloomberg quote, Mr.
Taylor, where he talked about who's going to keep our golf courses manicured and mowed.
Who's going to take care of this?
Who's going to feed us our caviar on the patio?
You know, who's going to cook our lobsters for us?
Oh boy.
But you know, I really do hope that the Democrats in some big way get behind this ice business because, abolish ice business, because I do believe that even if Americans realize that there is a difference between what the Border Patrol does and what ICE does, the Border Patrol stops people coming over illegally.
ICE, what ICE does is, among other things, take people who are already inside, in the interior, and deport them.
And under Obama, they primarily concentrated on those that were criminals.
I bet there are plenty of Democrats who, they realize that, you know, even an illegal immigrant rapist or an illegal immigrant burglar or a DUI is a potential Democratic voter.
So I'm not sure how much real enthusiasm they have for even deporting those guys.
But they do not want, they do not want, I think, this idea of abolishing ICE.
If you think of it in any realistic terms, it can be one of two things.
It can mean Open borders completely, and I hope that's the way everybody interprets it.
Or, if you think logically about the actual roll of ice, it can mean, okay, maybe we can guard the borders in some loose way, but once you're here, you're okay and you can stay.
Either way, either way, if that is a central platform for the midterms, then I really do not think that the Democrats are going to have that much of a gain, although I do predict a gain of some degree in both houses.
We can talk about that at another point.
I actually think this could be a stunning moment in 2018.
I'm thinking that based on what our Democratic friends are doing, I don't remember what state it was, but Matt Drudge once again has been heroic the past couple days.
This is all he's been promoting, is this continued Democrat attack on ICE.
And I believe there was a Republican building headquarters, I don't remember what state it was, but somebody vandalized it, they threw a brick in, and the brick Eric had written on it, Abolish ICE, and he had that story for over 24 hours as one of the main stories on Dredge Report.
When he reports on this, there's a trickle-down effect that takes place on other sites, like your Breitbart, your Daily Caller, your InfoWars.
You know, say what you will about Alex Jones, but his web traffic is tremendous right now, and it's tremendous for two reasons.
He's highlighted what's happening in Europe And he's highlighting all the stuff that Trump is doing, all the activities that he's doing to try and bring about American sovereignty.
We are witnessing border abolitionists.
God, I love that term.
We need to find a way to trademark that.
We have border abolitionists who are, you know, on this July 4th, 2018, who are doing everything they can to erode American sovereignty so that everybody around the world, every biped has the right to come here and immediately suck the trough of our welfare dollars.
And that should be going to build infrastructure and other great activities to benefit Americans.
This moment is so important for the GOP to capitalize on this new GOP that's forming that you know begrudgingly because we're seeing we're seeing a moment and maybe we can skip over to actually this is the next that we're going to talk about I mean we're seeing The advocacy of the new left, we saw this, we talked about this last week, we saw this in Georgia, where Stacey Adams, we represent the future, this non-white coalition, we're coming.
It might be too soon, but the more and more they're vociferous in this anti-white ideology.
We saw this with Ms.
Cortez.
She actually tweeted out, That people are saying that I won because of demographics.
No, I really won because I knocked on all these doors.
Well, sweetheart, all those people who answered those doors had brown faces or black faces.
And fly was her campaign slogan.
It's time for one of us.
Yeah, that got retweeted a lot.
But you know what, sweetheart?
The racial transformation of that district ensured that at some point when someone came along and said, it's our time now, white man, Exactly.
You were going to win in a landslide.
So that brings us to a story that I think is very important.
You, I believe, questioned some of the numbers here.
Before we get there, before we get there, I think it's worth pointing out just one little fact, and that is that Trump's approval rating has been up over this entire Manufactured crisis about separating children at the border.
I think that is remarkable and that really plays into your analysis as well.
That this could be a pivotal moment in the way we think, the way Americans think.
Apparently back in June 8th, he had an approval rating of 42% and his disapproval rating was 54%, a 12-point gap.
On July 2nd, just two days ago, after two weeks of being pounded non-stop about this border business, his approval rating has climbed to 44%.
That's up 2% and his disapproval rating is down by three points.
So he went from a 12-point gap to a 7.7.
So that's five points of favorable movement at the very time when the entire media establishment
wants his head on a platter for this so-called family separation business.
I think that in itself is very significant.
It just goes to show you how I think, well, assuming that there is a cause and effect
there, maybe there are other things going into what people think.
There's been fairly good economic news.
Of course, the stock market is down because of this potential trade war, et cetera, et
cetera.
If it is centrally due to all of this pounding he's taken on account of the border, then
the fact that his approval rating has increased is yet another sign that Americans are really
They're not the sheep that the media expect them to be, and this could be reflected in the vote in November.
Couldn't say it better.
I mean, we are at a pivotal moment where Donald Trump, his mere existence in the White House, continually to befuddle the corporate mainstream media that at every turn wants to paint him as this buffoonish clown.
You have to wonder how much of an influence Stephen Miller really does have to continue to force him.
He has great instincts.
We've talked about this repeatedly.
He has great instincts to continue to Daily tweet about immigration and to make it about immigration to point out hey do these you know maybe he'll maybe he'll tweet out border abolitionists next week or something but he keeps saying they want open borders they want the crime this is what they want paint it that way and this is this is a pivotal moment in our
Global Awakening.
And it happens just because sometimes a man can say no.
Yes.
I've said this a dozen times on these podcasts.
This is why politics and voting are crucial.
This is the only way we're going to get anywhere.
People think that, oh, we're going to wait for the collapse, and then we're going to save our 2,000 rounds of .223 ammo, and that's going to be the salvation.
No, if there is going to be some sort of civilized way out of it, and I want it to be a civilized way out, it is through the process.
And the process, we'll talk about it in Europe also, but I know this idea of just waiting for the collapse.
No, no, no, no, no.
We have to really buckle down and work.
That's much more important, much more difficult than sort of fantasizing about blood in the streets and what fun we're going to have with our AR-15s, all that crazy nonsense that seems to be Unaccountably popular in certain marginal areas.
But anyway, move along to the story that you found significant and about which I'm skeptical.
Tell us what's going on here and tell me why you think it's important.
This was a story that I think is important because The Daily Wire, that is Ben Shapiro, little Ben Shapiro's outfit.
It is a growing In popularity's sight, and yet they highlighted this, which I thought was interesting.
And it is, among white millennial men, 23% have moved from the Democrats to the GOP in the last two years.
Now, Alex Jones's website was more explicit with what this reasoning was.
He actually used language in the deck, it said, because of the left's anti-white ideology.
I don't know where he'd get that from, that wasn't the original story, but I love the fact that these outlets are putting two and two together and it's generating traffic.
A site like the Daily Wire, which obviously we all know Ben Shapiro's leanings, we all know he was a never-Trumper, we all know that he has said a lot of negative things about Trump and about he doesn't really care about the browning of America as long as liberty and freedom, whatever these Whatever these words mean, as long as the structure exists, he's happy.
But the fact that this story was so well commented on, had so much traffic, had so many shares, once again, Don't let white people think about whiteness in a positive sense.
Well, the point being, let's look at the numbers again here.
In the last two years, according to a Reuters and Ipsos poll of 16,000 respondents, that's a pretty sizable sample.
Very big sample.
If we're talking about white millennial men, their support for Democrats has dropped from 55 to 46.
Whereas Republican support has dropped by 28 to 27.
It's down one.
And, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I beg your pardon.
That's for millennials as a whole, millennials as a whole.
It went from 55 to 46% supporting the Democrats and 28 to 27% supporting the Republicans.
and 28 to 27 percent supporting the Republicans.
But for millennial white men, support for Republicans leads support for Democrats by a shocking 20...
it went up by a shocking 23 percent.
Republicans leading by 11%.
And this is a huge, a huge change just in two years, just in two years, despite the fact that millennials as a group are, I mean, if you include male and female and all the different races, they'll say, you know, you find that only a third of young Americans approved for President Trump.
And that you get shocking numbers.
60% will say he's mentally unfit.
62% say he's generally dishonest.
63% say he's a racist, etc., etc., etc.
But the idea that young white men are jumping from the Democrats into the Republican Party at such a high rate, It is remarkable, if true.
Now see, I just am skeptical that a two-year period should make such a difference.
That's what I don't understand about this poll.
Well, look, as you stated, we all know millennials.
Millennials are majority, majority, minority.
I think it's about 52% are non-white, 48% millennials are white.
And what's fascinating, as you said, two years ago, Democrats led Republicans among white millennial men by 12%.
And now Republicans lead by 11%.
It's almost a complete flip flop.
It's a stunning flip-flop, and you had a speaker at your last America Resonance conference, Mr. Fuentes, who talked about Generation Z, I believe is what it's called.
I think that this culture that exists online, and a lot of the times, white millennial men, the fact is, Gregory Hood put it best one time to me, he said, hey, Kersey, white people are as right-wing as they're allowed to be.
And I believe that Donald Trump is breaking things down.
One of the things, again, when we are allowed to talk about race, when we have race forced upon us continuously, as white millennial men do in the workplace, whether they work in the public or private sector, or they're in college, where now it is just, you're bombarded with all this race talk and, well, transgender, all this, all this stuff.
And then you have a guy like Donald Trump, who is just an alpha guy.
Wolf is going to like this because at the end of the day that's what Trump is.
That's what Trump has always been.
He's been an alpha guy who has led the kind of life when he was writing the Art of the Deal or when he was on the show on NBC.
He's a guy who is, at the end of the day, going to go home with the prom queen.
He's a definitive guy and he's resolute.
And I believe that those type of values are so That type of mindset is absent in every part of our world.
In fact, it's degraded in popular culture.
And you have a figure like Donald Trump who is forcing Republicans to confront issues that they would have gladly kicked the can down the road two decades from now when whites were going to be a minority.
Again, the border abolitionists They started too soon talking about this stuff, because you know what?
There are still too many white septuagenarians and octogenarians who, when they're not watching Sean Hannity, they say, you know what?
What's this Tucker Carlson guy talking about?
What is he talking about here?
I'm beginning to question, you know, all this cheerleading.
Tucker's painting a far darker picture, but he's asking questions that are taking me down a path that I'm not sure I ever wanted to go down.
And that is the point, Mr. Taylor, that brings people To you.
That is why American Renaissance was one of the first sites to be kicked off of Facebook.
That's why American Renaissance has been so attacked and marginalized by the media.
That's why your conferences are still attacked by Antifa.
And that is why, Mr. Taylor, Twitter was so quick to cut your account and the American Renaissance account.
Because our arguments are impeachable.
Unimpeachable.
Unimpeachable.
Our arguments are unimpeachable.
Sorry, I'm on a roll here.
Let me just finish and I'll let you go.
Because think about it.
It is July 4th and everything that this site, everything that this podcast, everything that New Century Foundation has stood for It's basically what the Founding Fathers were trying to do when they wrote that Declaration of Independence.
And you think about what you've dedicated your life to and what your listeners, what's your audience that you've cultivated.
We're part of something here that scares, fundamentally scares, the elite.
Because there's no other true opposition.
There's no other opposition to their ideology.
Republicans can get in line with anything.
National Review in five years will be writing an article about the conservative case for abolishing ICE.
That will be published by National Review.
Yet, at the end of the day, at the question that matters, who are we and do we have a future for our posterity?
That's what the Founding Fathers cared about.
Lost in all the nonsense of the egalitarian questions of liberty and freedom.
What this website, what this podcast, what this nascent movement is all about is not just an American Renaissance, but an awakening for our people.
Well, thank you.
I think that that is all entirely true.
And it's very, very gratifying to see the number of people who have begun to see the future of the United States, the future of the entire world in those terms.
And, you know, I have always been skeptical of all of these lefty journalists who say that it's thanks to Donald Trump that wretches like Jared Taylor have crawled out from under the flat rocks and now they feel free to say this.
Well, no, I've been saying these things for 25, 28 years.
But I think you are right.
You are right that the fact that Donald Trump He keeps pounding on these questions without being necessarily explicitly racial about it.
He wants, and the thing I'm going to talk about next, this idea about college admission, the fact that he keeps poking the left, poking the left, and it forces them to make every racial issue an explicit thing in a way that I think, you're right, drives more and more people into our arms.
So, I do agree that the role of Donald Trump has been increasingly important.
Increasingly important.
His campaign was absolutely earth-shaking.
His election was an absolute surprise.
And the fact that he keeps the drumbeat on, without being necessarily explicitly racial conscious, but he forces the left to turn everything into a racial question.
He's a civic nationalist who showcases the Trotskyite nature of the left at this point.
Unleashing their true inner feelings, their anti-white ideology that motivates every single aspect of their drive to continue the deracination of whites.
And you know what?
Donald Trump, in his spirited defense of civic nationalism, inadvertently exposes the reality of what America always was.
Well, that's right.
And it's precisely what America always was that the left insists on abolishing.
And yes, you're right.
The fact that he sticks to his guns on these questions forces them to tear off the mask on every question.
And so once again, this next story that we're going to talk about is the whole business of college admissions.
And in a joint letter, The education and the justice departments announced that they had rescinded Obama-era policy on guidelines for affirmative action.
And as you'll recall, in 2011, the Obama education and justice departments had sent out these letters saying, and they sent them to state governments and educational institutions saying that Elementary, secondary schools and college campuses, they reminded them of, quote, the compelling interests established by the Supreme Court to achieve diversity.
Every educational institution in the country.
And of course, the idea was that all you guys, all you people who want to bend the rules and let in as many blacks and Spanish as possible, we're behind you, fellas.
We think this is a great idea.
Whereas, the Trump administration is saying that, in the letter that they sent out, this is a quotation, right?
The executive branch cannot circumvent Congress or the courts by creating guidance that goes beyond the law, which is what they say the Obama administration was doing.
They were saying, go man, go.
Do it, do it.
Do as much affirmative action as you like.
I was disappointed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
She wrote in a separate statement, and I'll quote this at some length because I think it's typical of just the double-think that's so common on this area.
She says, The Supreme Court has determined that affirmative action policies are constitutional, and the Court's written decisions are the best guide for navigating this complex issue.
Schools should continue to offer equal opportunities for all students.
While abiding by the law.
In other words, she's saying, on the one hand, affirmative action is legal.
But all students should get equal opportunity.
This has been one of my pet peeves for years.
You'll find an ad in a paper.
It says, we are an equal employment opportunity affirmative action employer.
You can't be both.
No, there's a vast contradiction there.
And again, this is the wishful thinking of civic nationalists who still want to abide by that colorblind mindset when they lack the ability of discernment when it comes to, you know what?
We are going to have to start equating all of what this science is beginning to showcase when it comes to
outcomes. And we can't guarantee a quality of outcome because there are differences in
intelligence that is demonstrable through the racial, through the groups, through the racial, through
the various racial groups.
As we saw a couple weeks ago when we talked about what's happening in New York City where
the Asians are so overrepresented at these elite schools.
And de Blasio, who again, he can't run for office again, so he's going to go as radical
as he can and ratchet things up there in New York City. And he's only going to expose
once again when the left has complete power and they're mad with this idea that they are no
longer beholden to elections, they'll begin to let slip what they really want to do as Obama did
in his second term when it became quite clear that this dude was an anti-white radical
through and through.
Well, I don't go so far as that.
You know, I'm very hesitant to talk about real anti-white hatred.
I think these people think that they're motivated by large and lofty motives.
But that's a question that is a constant debate you and I have on this.
I tend to be rather a wet when it comes to people that Our border abolitionist friends realize they need reinforcements because, as is becoming increasingly clear, the population that can trace their ancestors far, far, far beyond 1965, maybe even to the Founding Fathers era or the Mayflower era, the left needs those reinforcements from the post-1965 Immigration Act to be able to implement any of their changes.
And without that, America Well, it's like I wrote in that piece that was on American Renaissance.
If only white men could vote, I think we would have conquered the stars by now.
Yes, yes, you could be right.
But now, this change by the Trump Justice Department and Department of Education, a lot of people have been hailing it as very, very important.
I don't think it's that important.
My assistant Henry Wolfe absolutely insisted that we talk about this because he sees this as an important thing that could have all sorts of ramifications.
And I think that those universities that are going to be bending the rules and try to pretend that they're equal opportunity, but they are favoring certain pet minorities, are going to continue to do exactly what they've been doing.
Nobody's going to do anything different on account of this.
And here is Melody Jackson.
A spokeswoman at Harvard, she says the university would, quote, continue to vigorously defend its right, and that of all colleges and universities, to consider race as one factor among many in college admissions, which has been upheld by the Supreme Court for more than 40 years.
And she is, in effect, right.
The Supreme Court says, yes, you can put your thumb on the scales.
It says you can't be blamed about it and have quotas and that's what all the litigation for the last 40 years has been about.
Just how hard can you put your thumb on the scale to increase the number of blacks and hispanics and american indians and all the other wonderful people that we think we need in order to have a proper college education that is diverse but you're allowed to do it and they will continue to do it no matter what Trump says.
It's a fun headline but an inconsequential ruling until This is, again, going to be fun to watch who Trump decides to appoint to the Supreme Court, to see the battle.
I believe we're really going to see the left take off their anti-white mask, especially if he proposes, say, a white male Christian.
That could be the moment where you really see that hatred.
Not anti-white.
They're egalitarian.
They're egalitarian in nature.
But anyway, yes.
All of this, this whole college admissions thing, it's context, the context is important.
And if there had not been the fact of Kennedy retiring from the Supreme Court, I think this would be profoundly unimportant.
It has some importance now because we could get a final ruling on affirmative action saying none of this racial discrimination.
That could happen.
That's what I think could happen.
Now, you know me.
I have this libertarian streak in me and I think a private university should be allowed to discriminate as much as it wants.
If Harvard wants to be all black, you know, that's its right.
If Yale wants to be all white, that's its right.
But in the context, of course, when they have the freedom to discriminate, they discriminate against us.
Against Whitey?
It's just so consistent.
Yeah.
Whitey, Whitey is always the fall guy.
I'd actually agree with you on that.
That is my libertarian streak.
All things being equal, unfortunately we don't live in a society where rights really exist.
The only right that exists is the iron rule of minority rights.
And just a little thing that caught my eye the other day.
Seth Rogen, the actor.
He apparently is on good terms with Jack Dorsey, who is the CEO of Twitter.
And he's been going back direct messaging with Jack Dorsey.
And he is this actor, Seth Rogen.
He wrote a tweet that I will quote.
He says, I've been DMing with Jack about his bizarre need to verify white supremacists on his platform for the last eight months or so.
And after all the exchanges, I've reached a conclusion.
The dude simply doesn't seem to give a fuck.
Good grief.
Dorsey, Twitter has been kicking all sorts of people off.
I suppose that Seth Rogen is absolutely furious that Richard Spencer, for example, is still allowed to tweet.
Doesn't David Duke still have a Twitter account?
I believe.
And if those people are not kicked out, then he's convinced that Dorsey does not give an F about all of this.
And now, what was interesting to me and significant was that this had 21,000 retweets and 89,000 likes.
There is a strong constituency out there that apparently genuinely believes that Twitter is perfectly happy to give
every white supremacist in the country a platform.
Well, I'm working on a piece for you right now that utilizes a tweet from an individual who wrote that We should go after every racist and find out a way to catalog so they can never be employed again and create this database.
And that was retreated a significant amount of times.
It was actually a terrifying amount of times because so many people agreed with that mindset.
So many people agreed that, again, we represent with the ideas and the way that we, the hate facts that we utilize on Twitter.
I mean, I can't believe, It's sad how many people have been kicked off of Twitter or have been put into Twitter purgatory for a week because they tweet out a hate fact.
Right.
And a link to it.
I recall somebody retweeting out the CDC, Center for Disease Control.
Stats on STDs for blacks and the graph from the actual government site and they were put into Twitter timeout for a week They couldn't tweet and it's this is a actual fact from the federal government, you know utilizing our tax dollars They put out this study every year.
I can't wait to read the 2018 report.
It comes out usually in September Yeah, but we have to understand that Again, when somebody like Seth Rogen again, this guy is is a comedic actor, he's a buffoonish clown who is when he's not extolling the virtues of drug legalization is
I guess getting in Twitter fights with white supremacists.
I don't know.
Again, in his mindset, Mr. Taylor, a white supremacist probably is just a Trump supporter.
Well, you're probably right.
And apparently he is on sufficiently intimate terms with the CEO of Twitter so that they're sending direct messages back and forth.
I suppose these are telephone messages or something.
But he's finally given up on him.
He says he just doesn't give a damn and that he's perfectly happy to support white supremacists.
I find this mindset...
Hard to understand, but nevertheless, significant in a sad and unfortunate way.
But let's move on to happier news.
The Italian Interior Minister, Matteo Salvini, he's increasingly my hero.
He's just great.
Just this last week, he was addressing a crowd of 50,000 supporters.
And this is the fifth time that he's addressed the party conference for the League.
Now, the League, as you know, used to be called the Northern League.
And its idea was that northern Europe, the whitest, I'm sorry, northern Italy, the whitest part of Italy was going to secede from the rest of Italy.
And, you know, that might have been attractive for a few northern Italians at the time, but it never went anywhere on that basis.
But now that Matteo Salvini has recalibrated things, so it's the league, he realizes that, okay, we Italians are in this together.
Yes.
Good work, Matteo.
Good work.
About time.
And once he decided that Italy was to be for the Italians, Northerners and Southerners, well, they went through the roof.
But he says he was at the party conference.
He says, I, I dream of a League of Leagues.
In other words, not just the Italian League, a League of Leagues in Europe, which unite all the free movements that want to defend their borders and the well-being of their children.
Then he goes on to say, to win, in other words, he is deputy prime minister now.
In the last elections, he and the Five Star Movement, they ended up sort of sharing the domination of the government.
To win, we had to unite Italy.
Now, we will have to unite Europe.
This is wonderful stuff.
Absolutely wonderful stuff.
And he says the European parliamentary elections next year in 2019 will be a referendum on, quote, a Europe without borders versus a Europe that protects its citizens.
And once again, he vowed that all of these do-gooder, medicine sans frontières types who are going out in the Mediterranean Sea and fishing these drowning so-called refugees out of the drink and bringing them to Italy, he says, they ain't coming here.
They ain't coming here.
And I love this line he had.
They will see Italy only Well, when are we going to have a president that says, you know those Hondurans?
They're going to see Washington.
They're going to see America only on a postcard.
You know what?
I love that line.
We're not that far off from that.
If you go back and listen to our podcast, all the things that are going on with these temporary protection for the Salvadorans, the Hondurans, the Haitians, those are all expiring.
That's right.
And we already saw what Trump tweeted out.
Hey, illegals, no.
That's right.
Again, coincidentally, today is Independence Day, and to paraphrase one of the lines from my favorite movie, Independence Day, Salvini and so many Europeans are beginning to understand something, that we really are in a fight for our right to exist as a distinct people.
A Camp of the Saints moment has already happened.
You know, Camp of the Saints came out before I was born, long before I was born, and it was a novel that a lot of people read and they thought, well, this is not going to be something in our lifetime we have to worry about.
It's a terrifying, gripping novel, but it's going to be something that's going to be addressed in the 22nd century, perhaps.
We are at that moment already.
We are.
And, you know, in America, we're not fighting for, you know, around the world, we're not fighting from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but fundamentally, we are fighting for the right to exist.
And that's what Salvini and this speech to 50,000 people.
Yes.
Yes.
50,000 people.
It must have been in some kind of enormous stadium.
Yeah.
50,000 people.
And here's another great line.
At one point of his speech, he says, the happiness of a people comes first.
And then he asked the people at the rally if they would, quote, swear yes or no to liberate the peoples from this Europe.
He's talking about the European Union.
Liberate the peoples of Europe from the European Union.
And yes, came the resounding reply from the crowd.
I think this is just splendid.
Italy, the Italians have had enough.
And they are going to not take any more guff from Angela Merkel and Donald Tusk and all the rest of these Eurocrats.
They are going to say Italy for the Italians.
And if that means pulling out of the EU, I think they might even go that far.
You know, a significant thing took place last week also.
There was this summit of most of the EU heads of state in which they had to come up with a final decision on whether or not The European Union had the authority to dole out these so-called refugees to the various different countries.
And only the week before the meeting, Emmanuel Macron was calling on the EU to fine countries that would not take their quota of so-called refugees.
But after this meeting, the Italians were the Italians, the Austrians, the Visigoth group, All of them just put their foot down and said absolutely not.
And so the final document says that taking refugees will be on a voluntary basis.
That means countries are permitted to refuse.
The foundations of the post-World War II Anglo-American egalitarian order, whatever you want to call it, because unfortunately the United States had a major role in creating and shaping NATO and these policies of Western Europe which, you know, became this massive monstrosity of the EU, which again, Trump's tariffs could inadvertently also help bring down and trigger the collapse, along with this solidarity of the Italians, the Austrians, the Czechs, the Hungarians, the Poles, perhaps even the Spanish.
We're seeing even signs far quicker than you and I talked about of the Spanish awakening to what's happening.
All it took is a couple of boatloads.
Yes.
No, no, I find this very, very encouraging.
I think if there were a guy in the United States like Matteo Salvini that we could vote for, gosh, boy, would I vote for him.
I would give him money.
I would go door to door for this guy.
Well, but the point is Europeans, Western people, Western man is beginning to stand up and say we've had enough and we deserve to survive.
He is saying in his own terms exactly what you were saying.
We have the right to be us.
And nobody's going to push us around.
So, moving on to our last story of this Radio Renaissance edition, the World Cup.
Tell me, what do you find of significance in the World Cup 2018?
What I find so significant in the World Cup is a story from June 14th and Mother Jones.
And this was before the World Cup had actually had their first game on the pitch.
And this author attacked the Russian team for, well, Basically being too Russian.
Being too white.
And that they didn't have a chance.
They're the host country, so they got to be in it.
That's how it works.
The FIFA World Cup, the host nation always gets to have their team in, regardless if they qualified or not.
So this author was saying, this team is too Russian.
This team is too white.
At the end of the day.
And what's fascinating is, flat.
Flash forward to today, and the Russians have made it to the quarterfinals.
Shockingly so, and they're going to play on Saturday, this upcoming Saturday, July 7th, against the Croatian team, which is even whiter than the Russian team.
Sadly, unfortunately, the two, I think the two whitest teams that are left are the, well, the Swedes are left, Croatia, Russia, and as you were saying, Uruguay is also quite white.
Well, not as white as I would expect, given the population of Uruguay.
I took a look at a photograph of the national team, and there's some dubious characters.
Well, there are dubious characters, but not so dubious as the English or the French team.
Remember, the English team is 12 of the 23 players are white.
Of course, their star player is Harry King, about as white an Englishman as you can get.
But again, the people of England are cheering on this post British Empire team were the colonies, and that's one of the main points of this article in Mother Jones.
It bemoaned the fact that unlike France and England, which had colonies, and now those former colonies are swamping both France and England, respectively, and turning them into these non-white nations, Russia doesn't have that.
So Russia's team is, regrettably, too white.
Well, and they also made another interesting point that apparently the best, the very best soccer players in the world play for the German League, the Italian League, the Professional League, and the Germans, Italians, and the British Leagues.
Yeah, the English Premier League and also Spain's La Liga and the German League.
So those are where your best talents are cultivated.
But interestingly enough, the Russians don't play for those teams.
They tend to stick within Russia and play for Russian professional teams.
And so perhaps they are better than, was Mother Jones you said?
Better than Mother Jones realized.
Just because they don't play with the best paid folks doesn't necessarily mean they're not as good.
But I am very gratified, as you are, to find that the Russians are doing as well as they are.
It's a pity that Russia and Croatia, the two whitest teams, have to play off at this point.
It'd be nice to see them meet in the final.
But as it is, the fact that the best eight now has Sweden, which is substantially white, almost overwhelmingly white.
Oh, it's 21 of 23 white players, and one of the other two is a Syrian Christian who, I'm sure if he had children, they'd look quite white.
Yes, and Uruguay, but England, France, Brazil obviously, and Belgium full of doubtful characters.
But we'll see, we'll see.
We could conceivably end up with a largely white team winning this war.
Well, here's what I hope plays out.
I hope that Russia knocks off Croatia, although a friend of mine who follows soccer religiously says the Croatian team is the one we should be pulling for because they have a legitimate shot to win.
What I would like to see happen is Sweden beat England.
Sweden has fought a very hard fight to actually get this far.
They knocked off a heavy favorite Italian team.
Now with all that's going on in Italy, it would be great if Italy was actually in the World Cup to actually create this nationalism.
So then Salvini could be there and he could meet with Putin.
Could you imagine those optics?
We'll talk about optics.
Salvini actually, but unfortunately Italy didn't make the World Cup this year.
But it would be great to see Sweden knock off England, Uruguay knock off France, and of Brazil and Belgium are a toss-up as far as I'm concerned.
The Belgian team is so un-Belgian.
Anyway, but as you know, professional sports for me are colossally uninteresting.
I can't think of anything more spectacularly unimportant than whether the New York team of whatever it is beats the Los Angeles team of whatever it is.
But national teams, I think that's interesting.
It reflects a kind of A tribal sentiment that, in some cases, is genuine.
Like the Japanese team, which I follow for obvious reasons, having spent so much time in Japan.
They made it into the Best 16 this time.
And their team is 100% Japanese.
And I'm very glad.
And this, I tell you, I listen to Japanese radio broadcasts, the equivalent of sort of the BBC.
And man, they have been leading off every broadcast.
How's the team been doing?
It is a real central focus.
And everybody in Japan can relate 100% to those players.
Unbelievably healthy.
Yes, I agree.
And it's this sense of national pride.
You know, having largely Swedish and German and English Blood flowing through the curtsy veins.
You know, I do find myself rooting against England because of what England has become.
It's actually disgusting to watch the English team.
The Swedish team, hey, I like that.
But you know what?
At the end of the day, it's watching that Russian team.
It's watching the Croatian.
It's watching teams that, wow, those guys look...
Like, the country that I want to fight for, to cheer for, and to have that intensity, that passion.
And, you know, there are plenty of ordinary Brits.
I remember, oh, some years ago, talking to just a guy in a pub in Britain about the British team, and he looked at me and says, The so-called British team.
This is an ordinary guy.
He had no reason to think that I would agree or disagree.
I think many Brits just shake their heads over that stuff.
Well, going back to the Japanese team, I think we should end on a funny little story because this is something you wouldn't see from a sportsmanship standpoint in America with professional teams, as you mentioned, that are largely... have rosters full of Africans in America, composed and comprised of the teams.
The Japanese team, which lost a heartbreaker.
They were up 2-0, I believe, against Belgium.
It was against Belgium, yes.
Yeah, and Belgium came back and won 3-2.
I can't remember if it was in stoppage time they scored the last goal or if it was a shootout.
The point is, Japan made it much farther than they were supposed to.
And they had an opportunity to get to the quarterfinals, which would have been, I believe, the farthest they've ever made.
Yes, they've never made it to the quarterfinals.
So you would imagine that a team, after losing such a heartbreaking loss, would go into the locker room, they'd knock over the water, they'd throw stuff against the lockers, they'd be irate and upset.
What did the Japanese do, Mr. Taylor?
They left the place immaculate.
And a note saying thank you.
That's right.
That's the Japanese for you.
So, yes, there are differences.
There are cultural, there are racial differences.
And long may they live, and long may every group and population around the world flourish and thrive within its own borders and be the best it can possibly be.
So, for Jared Taylor, my name is Paul Kersey.
Our time is up.
