Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is our regular guest and commentator, Paul Kersey.
As usual, it's been a week brimming with news of great interest to those of us who care about the future of the United States, the future of our people, and the demographic consequences of all the foolishness going around all around the world.
Now, we're going to start off with what appears to be a relatively insignificant story, but it has broad consequences for the entire country and what we are likely to be living through in the years to come.
And that is the antics of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms.
Now, Atlanta is a city with which Mr. Kersey is very familiar.
And so, Mr. Kersey, take it away.
Explain to us the significance of what Keisha Bottoms is up to.
Well, again, Keisha Bottoms won a very hard-fought mayoral race earlier this year where she defeated a white candidate in a runoff election.
Very contentious.
We've talked about before.
Go back and look at the archives about the racial nature of that mayoral race.
Well, she, back in June, basically decided with an executive order that they were going to block the Atlanta jail from taking in any new ICE detainees amid Donald Trump's zero-tolerance immigration policy.
She decided to go one better, and last week she put an executive order that she will no longer hold anyone for the federal agency in the Atlanta jail.
Wow, so all of Atlanta is off-limits to the feds?
All of Atlanta is off-limits, and I'd like to read the quote from Ms.
Bottoms.
Quote, Atlanta will no longer be complicit in a policy that intentionally inflicts misery on a vulnerable population without giving any thought to the horrific fallout.
As the birthplace of the civil rights movement, we are called to be better than this.
End quote.
You know, it always amazes me when blacks take this view of illegal immigration from the third world.
Blacks should be the very first people standing up against this.
I wonder if you were to ask ordinary black people in the city of Atlanta, well, what do you think of this?
You know, this means that people who should be deported, who are here illegally, who are taking places in your schools, who are taking jobs that maybe you or your uncle or your brother might want to take, Are being coddled and protected by your mayor.
What do you think of that?
And my guess is ordinary black people say, what's this?
This isn't in our interest.
They might say that to a reporter, but they'll still vote for the Democratic Party.
So I'm not someone who says, I've never been persuaded by that argument of, oh, black should be so against illegal immigration.
No, because they're part of the coalition of the fringes and they are united 100% against the white man.
Let's put it bluntly.
They should be against it.
Agreed.
I think that most, in fact, ordinary blacks I don't think are really that stupid.
I think it is the hoity-toity highfalutin blacks, the ones who, if they really want to succeed in politics, they've got to get the Democratic National Committee behind them.
They're the ones who've sold out their own people for their own advancement so that they can be part of this coalition against the white man.
And I think, ultimately, they just don't much care what happens to ordinary Well, we've talked about the important upcoming governor race in Georgia where Stacey Abrams is going to get Secretary of State Brian Kemp in an amazing Trump versus the New America race, just like in Florida.
Stacey Abrams came out and said this in regards to Mayor Bottoms' executive order.
She said, quote, The impact of the administration, Trump's administration, cruel and inhumane family separation policy.
Anyone who stands against keeping families together lacks any kind of moral compass.
Now, I'm not actually sure why she'd bring up the illegal alien children and the migrants in this issue.
This is a situation where, again, Either you have the rule of law or you don't.
Well, and you're talking about criminal aliens being kept in the jails.
These are not five-year-olds.
We're talking about people who have actually committed crimes, been convicted, and put in jail.
Correct.
And ICE wants to come by and get a hold of them and deport them after they're finished.
Or they want to hold them in city jails while they get their act together to get them out of the country.
And here, Stacey Abrams is saying, Oh, remember the children!
A complete non sequitur.
But, you know, it is only people like, there are a few, oh, black conservative radio talk show hosts.
Who's that guy?
Bond.
Oh, his organization is Bond.
Jesse Lee Peterson and Larry Elder, I'd say, to his view.
Those two, they are among the few blacks who talk sense on this.
I would love to see some black elected official really come right out and say how crazy, how utterly suicidal this kind of thing is.
But one person who did come out and say something quite sane and sensible on this is Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the candidate for governor in Georgia, who came out and said, quote, But he's white!
He's white, but this is still a good quote.
The city of Atlanta should focus on cleaning up corruption and stopping crime, not creating more of it.
Again, it's that type of thing that's going to get people all across the state who want to see the problems of illegal immigration addressed.
That's why Georgia went Trump back in 2016 in a state where the white percentage of the electorate is dropping every day basically.
And that's why this governor's race will be so interesting.
You have such a remarkably clear choice.
One of the boring things about American politics, and when I was living in France, I always used to get into these discussions with my French schoolmates.
They would say, look, we've got all the way from royalists to communists to choose from.
You've got Tweedledee, Tweedledum.
How boring.
And I used to pretend that wasn't true.
But, of course, they were right.
They were right.
This time we're getting real choices.
And I love the fact that American people are being forced to decide.
A sane America or an insane America?
In any case, on the whole question of insanity, There was an interesting working paper that's just been submitted to the National Bureau of Economic Research by a fellow named James West and his university colleagues.
And they looked into the whole question of diversity officers.
Universities, the latest fashion now, is to hire a chief diversity officer.
Apparently, that's what you need especially to increase faculty diversity.
You can increase student diversity simply by jiggering the admissions process.
But in order to get faculty diversity, the idea is to hire somebody, pay him at least $200,000, give him a staff of at least 12, and then get right to work and make sure that the staff gets just as diverse as anything else.
Well, According to their study, after having done a tally of 462 research institutions in the United States, I'm surprised there are that many.
462.
In any case, this sounds pretty exhaustive.
They were unable to find any statistically significant increase in faculty diversity, After the creation of this Chief Diversity Officer, C.D.O.
as it's known in the trade.
Oh, the whole C.D.O.
is going to, again, it's not just public institutions, it's also going to start overtaking the private companies as well.
Public, you know, Fortune 500 companies, a lot of them already have it, Mr. Taylor.
And they're making, not only are they making a great salary, but they're getting nice stock options as well.
Oh, yes.
Well, you know, that's a conflict of interest.
The idea of increasing diversity and the idea of the stock going up, those things could be very much at odds with each other.
Now, did I say that?
No, I didn't say that.
In fact, according to James West and his colleagues, once you had a CDO, a Chief Diversity Officer, in place, they found that the diversity of tenured faculty hired actually fell.
Now, they're just scratching their heads over that one.
And you can imagine a number of things going into this.
Obviously, it is very, very difficult to find qualified Native Americans and Haitians and blacks to staff up for tenured positions in the astronomy department or, in fact, in any other department.
In any STEM field.
I'm sorry, I don't think there are any, as of yet, any PhD doctorate programs.
We're heading down that slippery slope, regrettably, Mr. Taylor, but once again, this all goes into something that Tucker Carlson brought up.
If we could jump to what I think is one of the more profound moments of 2018, and that's Tucker Carlson, his monologue on his fantastic program on Fox News, where he simply asked the question, What is diversity?
How great is diversity?
Why is diversity great?
He says, well, yeah, there are a couple of lines I can read straight out of his monologue.
How precisely is diversity our strength?
Since you've made this our new national motto, please be specific as you explain it.
Do you get along better with your neighbors or your co-workers if you don't understand each other or share common values?
Please be honest when you answer this question.
Now, with all due respect to Tucker Carlson, I've been asking this question for 20 years.
One of the first big articles I wrote for American Renaissance when it was a print publication, which started in 1990, Mr. Carlson, was, what's the story on...
Diversity.
Is it a strength?
And it's obviously not a strength.
Anybody who thinks about this with half a brain realizes that the kind of diversity we're supposed to be celebrating, of race, of religion, of language, those things tear countries apart.
They tear institutions apart, families apart.
But yeah, good for him.
At least he's asking the question.
Well, you always go to that wonderful anecdote of, was it Robert Putnam, the author of Bowling Alone, who basically sat on his study for years, I want to say for almost a decade, because of how embarrassed he was by what it showed, that diversity is not only a strength, but it's the destroyer, the ultimate destroyer of social capital.
Right, right.
And yeah, he sat on his data for about five or six years, and then in an off-the-cuff conversation with a British reporter, he mentioned his findings.
And this was written up, and that was what shamed him into publishing something that he had sat on and refused to publish for years.
And the crazy thing is, it still does not convince him that diversity is a bad thing.
And when his study was cited in a friend-of-the-court brief to the Supreme Court about diversity in universities, he objected to that.
He filed his own friend-of-the-court brief saying, no, no, this may be what the data show, but I disagree, and it's wrong to use my study to this end, to say that diversity is a bad thing.
Wow, now clearly we are in the face of a cult.
This is a cult.
This is a systematized, organized system of believing in things that are palpably and demonstrably untrue.
People even who dig up the worst data that go against their beliefs believe it anyway.
So, good for Tucker Carlson.
And, of course, the libs are furious.
One dare not even raise this question.
Well, this comes on the heels of, of course, Laura Ingraham bringing up the racial transformation of the country through immigration that no one voted on.
These are serious questions that have not been allowed to be broached in public discourse.
Dare I say ever?
50 years?
70 years?
Yeah, I can't think of the last time.
And this is not to downplay all the great work that you've done with your magazine.
You appeared, of course, on the MSNBC show back in the early 2000s.
Donahue.
I don't think that was MSNBC.
Donahue, yes.
I was on Paula Zahn's program several times, back when Paula Zahn had a program.
On CNN.
But you know, actually, this question was in fact raised at the time of the 1965 Act.
There were Georgia Senator Sam Nunn.
He said, well, wait a minute.
What's wrong with preserving the majority of the people who founded the country?
What's actually wrong with that?
And nobody gave him a good answer, of course.
The answer they gave was, don't worry, don't worry.
The demographic mix of the country is not going to change.
That's what they said.
And of course, we've seen, just looking at a microcosm, we've seen, as we've talked about many times, the deleterious impact of mass third world immigration on a state like Georgia, which is now 54% white after being 71.2% white in 1990, when the And we will see what the people of Georgia choose for their next governor.
It'll be fascinating.
But the kind of problem that this sort of immigration brings, illegal immigration is certainly part of it.
It has been brought to light by yet another study by the IRLI, the Immigration Reform Legal Institute, which has discovered the millions and millions of social security numbers that have been stolen and used for people who are trying to steal folks' identities.
And what they have discovered, I think it was about 50 million social security numbers have been used fraudulently.
And one of the ways that they most like to do this is to take social security numbers of newborn children.
And if you say you have a child and your child gets a social security number, that is a very valuable commodity.
Because if you're an illegal and you use that number, probably nobody's even going to notice until your newborn child goes for his or her first job and discovers that, oh my gosh, I've got a delinquent mortgage.
Oh my gosh.
I've bought five cars that I haven't paid for.
What kind of surprise is that?
There have been millions of cases like this.
This is yet another cost of diversity, of open borders that nobody ever talks about.
So are you endorsing free credit report for those families with young children who might be listening to do credit checks on their children just to make sure?
Because as this study from the Immigration Reform Law Institute shows, between 2012 and Crazy when you think that's just a four-year time span.
39 million instances in which names and social security numbers on a W-2 tax forms quote did not match the corresponding social security records end quote.
Again another statistic that just shows the horrific impact of tolerating what the mayor and the would-be governor of the state of Georgia are endorsing as hey, this is just part of the civil rights movement continuing to steamroll the historic American majority in the nations that their ancestors gave them.
That's right.
That's right.
This is all part of it.
And yet another instance of one of these very interesting and useful think tanks.
The Center for Immigration Studies, which is an outfit that brings to light some of the really remarkable facts of just of the kind we were talking about.
But they have They've tried to get a Twitter ads campaign.
What that involves is paying Twitter a relatively small amount of money to promote some of your own tweets.
And this is a way why you can increase followers.
Well, they had a couple of their tweets that used the words criminal alien and illegal alien.
These are legal terms.
These are terms that are used in the statute.
A criminal alien has to be treated in a particular way.
Someone who enters the country without a visa or against the law is an illegal alien.
These are defined terms.
Twitter rejected any tweet that contained these words saying that this violated their, quote, hateful content policy.
This is head-spinning.
This is absolutely head-spinning.
We're nearing a point where the American flag or chanting USA USA is going to be considered a hate policy.
There was a football game in Orange County this past week, Mr. Taylor.
Where a school that is predominantly white, about 65% white, they had a red, white, and blue day for the game.
They were playing a team that is almost all Hispanic, and they started chanting USA, USA, build the wall, Trump, and it created, you know, it was a...
The story became, once again, an opportunity to say this is a stain on our country and this is awful, this is happening, this divisiveness must stop.
Well, there were a number of circumstances there.
There were signs that said, I like white.
And these were picked out of context and said, look at these white supremacists.
But it was a red, white, and blue day.
There were signs that said, I like red, I like blue.
And this was right around the time of September 11th.
I think the game was played on September 11th.
And that was part of the motivation for USA, USA, USA.
But everything nowadays can be dissected in some sort of racially toxic way.
So all you have to do is say USA, and you're a bad guy.
It's extraordinary.
We didn't script for this, but I'm going to ask you a impromptu question here.
We just celebrated, we just commemorated the 17th anniversary of 9-11 yesterday.
Tell me about what 9-11 at this point even means to the country, whatever America has become in the subsequent years since the since the Islamic terror attack on the country and what it
means to you.
Because I've been to your home before and we've talked about it.
You actually have a picture of ground zero of the footprint of the World Trade Center in your home.
That's right.
All right.
I happened to stay in a Hilton Hotel that was right next to Ground Zero after they just began rebuilding it.
And I was staying on maybe the 13th floor and looking down on Ground Zero.
It's just beginning to be rebuilt.
It's quite a dramatic photograph of a construction site.
And I kind of use it as, oh, a little test for people to walk in.
Does that place look recognizable?
And some people can tell.
Yep, yep.
Oh, that's Ground Zero.
Well, to me, to me, The whole thing about those attacks that stuck in my mind was the fact that we had this Muslim population in the United States in which these 19 hijackers could hide and swim like fish in the water.
It would not have been possible if these people had stuck out.
Many of them had criminal... they'd overstayed their visas.
They could have been snapped up very easily if we didn't have this utterly lax policy.
And these people get turned loose on America, and they kill 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, and I don't know how many at the Pentagon, and we don't know all the consequences of that.
What I expected, naively, was that this was going to create some kind of reassessment.
Well, is it really in America's interest to have so many Muslims so that 19 Mass murderers can just slip into the environment and disappear.
I thought it was going to start a debate on whether or not Muslim immigration is good for the United States.
No.
The exact opposite occurred.
The exact opposite.
We were all told, no, no, watch out, watch out.
Better be nice to Muslims.
A backlash would be worse than the attacks themselves.
I don't know if anybody actually said that, but that's the implication.
So I was wrong about that.
The other thing that struck me was this outpouring of an apparent patriotism.
People were flying American flags in the face of that.
I found that Almost tragic.
These are people who love America and they think that we are some in some respects at war with a foreign power.
The people that with whom we are at war is the mentality of our own rulers who permit this to happen.
That was almost tragic to me.
This outpouring of actual patriotic emotion.
Now it is understandable these people came from overseas They did attack us.
I think the attack had as much to do with our foreign policy, our support for Israel as anything else.
But the idea that this was a reason to be patriotic about America when the very people who are governing our country are making it easier and easier and in some cases inevitable that populations like that come live in our country and attack us.
That seemed tragic to me.
Not just come live in our country, Mr. Taylor, but colonize our country.
On the refugee resettlement, you look at what just happened recently for the holy day in Islam, right before the Hajj, where 50,000 Muslims showed up in Minneapolis at the sports stadium there, and you look at these pictures and it's, you know, I remember 2011 because That was the same fall that Blackhawk Down came out.
And of course Blackhawk Down depicts, it's a book by Mark Bowden, the true story of what happened in 1993 and the interaction with Somalia, the USA.
The Rangers, The Delta Force.
It's a great movie.
It's a fantastic movie.
It's a brilliant film.
It's one of the few that I'll go to my way to watch if I ever see it on TV.
But you think about how... I think I read somewhere that the United States since 9-11 has resettled 1% of Somalia's population within the United States.
That sounds about right.
Why?
It goes back to Tucker Carlson's simple question.
How precisely is this a strength?
How is this a good thing?
What?
And you know, as I recall, that warlord that this failed mission was supposed to extract from Mogadishu, either him or his son has now come to the United States and become a U.S.
citizen.
I think the very warlord himself He's more American than you or I. Of course, of course.
He's got a skin other than the color of white and doesn't speak English.
forces guys trying to trying to get a hold of and stop some operation it's
either him or his son is now a naturalized US citizen. He's more
American than you or I. Of course of course he's got a he's got a skin other
than the color of white and doesn't speak English that makes him more
American than you and me but but people are fighting back against the madness
And one of the people fighting back is the mayor of Kenner, Louisiana.
Mayor Ben Zahn.
And tell us about you.
You're the one who called my attention to this.
Well, this became a big story because he was attacked on social media by all of the typical leftists who have massive followers.
He got retweeted.
He was harassed.
This is a mayor of a city It's the one of the largest cities in Jefferson Parish.
It's a suburb of New Orleans, about 66% white, 25% black.
And he basically decided that he wanted to stop having tax dollars in the city
go to purchasing Nike products, because he didn't want to have anything to do with the company that
used the Colin Kaepernick, like we talked about last week on the podcast, to quote, promote and sell
a political message.
He said, quote, when a company uses its advertising as its own political megaphone, government
should be fair to all of its people and not allow taxpayer dollars to be
used to help that company push its own political agenda, end quote.
He was attacked vociferously, as if this was the reinstitution of Jim Crow in Jefferson Parish
It was astounding.
I read a story in the New Orleans Time Picayune where a number of New Orleans St.
Black players live in Kenner.
It's a very nice suburb.
And they were upset.
They had this protest outside a city hall.
This is one of those moments again.
The whole Nike debate.
Last week, we talked about how the stock fell.
We talked about how the brand took a huge hit and reputation.
Obviously, the stock has recovered.
Last week, well, you were going to ask me a question about how, well, Mr. Kersey, I saw where, gosh, Nike sales were up 31% during that time.
That's an interesting point, Mr. Taylor.
There are two things I'd like to point out.
You just mentioned how the Center for Immigration Studies was unable to get some of their advertising on Twitter.
All of last week, Hashtag just do it was trending on Twitter because Nike was promoting that.
They were promoting that with massive dollars to have that trend as one of the top topics in the United States and in the world.
This was being pushed because some of their greatest proponents of Colin Kaepernick being the face of Nike are these SJWs who infest social media and who go after people like this brave mayor of Kenner and use their megaphone and use their mass army of People of color and woke white allies to attack.
To attack.
Now I'd like to point out what I believe is gonna happen with Nike.
Yes, their stock has rebounded.
What I pointed out last week, it's simply this.
The long-term ramifications of a corporation deciding to introduce woke politics within to their brand and within to their overall business plan will have massive impact, say, three quarters down the line, when you see what happens when companies, when families decide, hey, you know what?
We're going to buy Under Armour.
We're going to buy Adidas as opposed to Nike.
That's what's going to start happening.
We need to backtrack just a bit.
You were pointing out that they were trending this Just Do It hashtag.
And wasn't your argument that this jump in sales was strictly online sales?
Correct.
Not shoe sales in stores, not brick and mortar, online sales.
And that's something I can perhaps buy.
That this is sort of a blip on the way because of all these people who are active on social media.
Showing their virtue by buying Nike.
We'll see what happens in the long run.
The other thing is, my suspicion is, if this turns out to be a bad decision, they're going to start feeling it pretty quickly.
And what they will do, my guess is, they'll just go to a new campaign, they will pull Colin Kaepernick, maybe a little bit earlier than planned, and move to somebody else.
That is my guess as to what will happen.
Do you have any idea how long, ordinarily, once they've made a decision to make some guy their pet and mascot, How long they keep him on?
I don't know the terms of the contract, but we should point out another one of the individuals who is also part of this 30th anniversary campaign is Serena Williams.
Oh yes, the serene Serena Williams.
She was so serene, so serene at the New York Open.
The U.S.
Open.
Yeah, where she lost and she...
Lost her temper, jumped on a rack, broke the racket, you know, got yelled at by the umpire.
You know, one of the saddest things about this, I thought, was the closing ceremony when the announcer is talking about the results and says, we were expecting something different, we were expecting a different outcome, and Serena Williams is still the champion of all champions.
Where you have this 20-year-old Japanese who happens to be half Kenyan, I believe, but someone who has idealized Serena Williams all her life, completely ignored and overshadowed.
She felt as though she got the stiff arm so bad she was weeping during the ceremony.
She apologized for winning, basically.
Well, in effect, she's being told, you upset the narrative.
You won.
You beat our princess and our queen.
Good grief.
Just absolutely disgusting.
And then, of course, there was this famous cartoon by an Australian cartoonist, which shows an obviously Serena Williams, Serena Williams misbehaving while the umpire is saying to this Miss Osaka, the Japanese woman who won, can't you just let her win?
Please, you have to let her win.
No, you're right.
Again, this is the face that Nike wants to move forward.
You're LeBron James.
You're Serena Williams.
You're Colin Kaepernick.
And this is why it's one guy bends on.
I can't commend this guy enough.
And I hope there are more people who have an opportunity, whether you're a coach or even if you're just a parent of kids and you decide, you know what, I'm never going to buy a Nike product again.
Well, but you would be running in the face, you would be flying in the face of what New Orleans mayor, the town right next door, LaToya Cantrell, said in an official statement that the Nike ban was not in line with, quote, the values that the people of New Orleans stand for.
You are trampling on their values, Mr. Kersey.
Do you realize that?
Well, I'm sure that back in 2005, when Hurricane Katrina hit, that a lot of the citizens left behind who have those same values that the people of New Orleans stand for, I'm sure they were able to abscond with a number of five-finger discount Nike products that were left unattended and unguarded.
In fact, I'm sure a lot of black New Orleans cops had their way with Nike products that were left behind and unguarded.
Oh, don't get us on the story of Hurricane Katrina.
Golly, what a spectacular demonstration of the sorry state we live in today, that was.
And if I may be so bold, Mr. Taylor, I hope that all of our listeners in the Carolinas are going to be safe during this upcoming hurricane.
You may be so bold.
We hope that anyone listening in the Carolinas, South Carolina, North Carolina, or anyone in the path of Hurricane Florence, I believe.
Please be safe, and as you listen to Radio Renaissance and enjoy a hurricane party, just know that we're thinking about you and your families.
Yes, yes we are.
And this might be an interesting diversion as you hunker down in the dark on your battery-powered operation.
Please listen to Radio Renaissance.
But I believe this is the time to move on to overseas stories, some of which were very, very interesting.
Viktor Orban is back in the news, primarily because the European Parliament has voted dissension of the Hungarian government.
They did this on Wednesday.
They're accused of eroding democracy and failing to uphold fundamental European values.
And in a vote of 448 in favor, 197 against, and 48 abstentions, The European Parliament voted to invoke Article 7 sanctions.
And if this were to continue, it could conceivably mean that the Hungarian government would lose its European Union voting rights.
Now, the measure doesn't immediately penalize the country, but it does open the door for this process.
And it means a formal warning will be sent to Hungary for violating European Union rules.
And values.
Yes, and values.
European values.
Yes, I forget.
Just like the city of New Orleans has values, Europe has values, and anything that is sensible violates those values.
Isn't it amazing how those values and those rules basically can be translated as white people shut up and take it?
That's just about what it boils down to, yes.
And it was a Euro MP, Judith Sargentini, who despite her Italian name, is a Dutch Green.
She had issued this report on all of the bad things that Orban has done.
And apparently, what she concluded is that the Hungarian government has been muzzling the media, they have been muzzling independent academics and the judiciary, and of course, they have been bad to migrants and refugees, and that all of this poses, in her words, a systemic threat to the EU's fundamental principles.
Now, the chances of Hungary actually losing voting rights are absolute zero, because ultimately it would require a unanimous vote by all other EU countries, and Poland, which has already itself been a victim of this kind of Article 7 sanctions procedures, would certainly vote to keep Hungary's voting rights.
So, not surprisingly, Hungarian Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, he slammed the decision as a form of petty revenge by pro-immigration politicians because of Budapest's tough immigration policies.
Now, to tell you the truth, I don't know whether or not there is anything in this idea that they've been muzzling the press.
I do know that this university in Hungary that was financed by George Soros, that has been very, very badly cramped, and the Hungarians do not like Non-governmental organizations financed by outside powers messing with their values, etc.
I don't know to what extent the press really is muzzled.
Is the judiciary being curbed?
I don't know.
But I will say, and there is some possibility that some of those things are true, insofar as Sebastian Kurtz He is the Prime Minister of Austria with the Freedom Party, which ordinarily would be entirely aligned with Hungary on terms of immigration.
He said, and his group, they're in the same European group, the parliamentary group, they voted for the sanctions.
Because they said that we believe there can be no compromises on the rule of law and democracy.
This does give me a certain amount of pause.
Maybe some of what the Hungarians are doing, at least as far as the European club is concerned, is outside of ordinary bounds.
But I remain convinced that the main thing they're being going after is the fact that they want Hungary to remain Hungarian.
Correct, and of course Italy's interior minister Salvini, one of our favorite people on the planet at the moment.
His league party has six lawmakers in the European body, and you know, guess what?
They said, we'll vote in defense of Orban.
Yes, yes.
They are not bothered by these alleged violations of the judiciary independence, etc, etc.
Now if the European Union actually did defend Europe and Europeans' right to exist, I would, you know, of course this would be something that you'd want to fight for, a strong European Union that wanted a strong Europe.
But what the European Union wants is basically Hungary, Italy, and all these other countries, Austria, to stand down and to take it.
That's right.
And to say, you know what, look at Germany, look at France, look at England.
This is what we want.
We want increased speech codes so that native White Britons, native white French, native white Germans cannot complain about what is transpiring in their own country due to our policies.
That's right.
And it is significant to me that in the past, when Article 7 was debated, with the exception of the launching of Article 7 investigation against Poland, and the idea there was that the Poles were stacking the Supreme Courts so that the executive branch would have no check on its powers, That, of course, has gone nowhere.
That was about two years ago.
There's been no consequence of this.
But aside from that, they considered invoking Article 7 when the Austrians let the Freedom Party into a coalition government in 2000, 18 years ago.
And the idea was, of course, here are these nasty people who think Austrians should remain Austrian.
And that they considered this kind of punitive undertaking.
They didn't actually do it at that time.
And the other time was in 2009, when the French government got rid of several thousand gypsies.
They just rounded them up and kicked them out.
And of course, this was something that exacerbated and horrified the social justice worries that run the EU.
And so they considered Article 7 there too.
So what mainly sets these people off is what they consider a violation of European values.
The prime European value today is the obligation to commit mass suicide.
These unelected bureaucrats believe that white people, indigenous whites, have no rights and that human rights trump any worry about the negative ramifications of mass third world, mass Muslim, mass non-white resettlement into Europe.
What always amazes me is that these people who yammer and jabber about European values, if there is such a thing as Europe at all, if there are European values, it's because Europeans for a thousand years, from 732 at the Battle of Tours till 1683, the Siege of Vienna, fought Muslims and kept them out.
It's for that reason alone that there is anything that we recognize as Europe.
But now, European values mean let them all in.
European values really is a collective suicide pact.
This is absolutely astonishing to me.
But, interestingly enough, As always happens, when the right begins to gain ever so slightly, the people on the left begin to realize that if they are to keep their jobs, they have got to steal, if not the entire suit of clothes of the right, at least a left shoe or maybe a cuff link.
And what has happened is European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker Who ordinarily never met an illegal immigrant he didn't immediately fall in love with.
He says the European Union is going to up its border guard, border patrol from 1,500 men to 10,000 armed men.
It's a group called Frontex and it will be deployed in the EU's external borders and also have powers to prevent secondary movements between EU nations.
And they are supposed to step up the effective return of illegal migrants, according to Jean-Claude Juncker.
Again, this is one of these people who has been most vociferous in somehow pretending that if Austria wants to remain Austrian, that's really against European values.
This kind of thing reminds me of all of the talk about 1986, for example, when we had the amnesty.
We're going to solve the problem.
There's going to be border control.
There are going to be employer sanctions.
Never happened.
Never happened.
And my guess is this is going to be exactly the same kind of thing.
Now to me, for the Europeans, it's a very simple solution.
Just tow the boats back.
If you show up at this point, as soon as you're in international waters and begin to sink, then you can count on the Italian Navy or the Spanish to come rescue you, and off you go to Europe.
Just let them sink.
Well, no, I didn't say that.
But if you just find these ships and tow them back to where they came from, that'll stop it.
Who is going to make the risk if they know that this is going to be brought back where they came from?
And these are not poverty-stricken people.
These people are paying thousands of dollars.
It's funny you bring that up because one of the big new shows on television is the Jack Ryan series on Amazon and one of the subplots is this Muslim family from Lebanon is trying to go to individuals who will help smuggle them into Europe on the coast in a boat and it's all about, we have money, we have money, help us and it shows the machinations of the various tribes and how they go about trying to Spoiler alert!
They instead end up getting saved by Jack Ryan and the CIA and they're resettled in Leesburg, Virginia in a beautiful home.
And then, of course, long story short, spoiler alert, they instead end up getting saved by Jack Ryan and the CIA.
And they're resettled in Leesburg, Virginia, in a beautiful home.
That's actually how the series ends.
So the United States government goes to war, invades the world, and then so happily,
at the end of this Jack Ryan series on Amazon, we invite the world and this nice Muslim family
gets a nice house in Leesburg, Virginia, all on a taxpayer dime.
Resettled.
A happy ending!
A happy ending!
The American Dream!
Well, at least there are opinions against this, and let us hope that this 10,000 armed border guard frontex does have some sort of effect, but I'm not counting on it.
This sounds like just the kind of high-signing baloney that people who really don't care actually trot out only to stay in office.
Well, while we're still in Europe, there is, to me, a very surprising bill that's being proposed in the Irish Parliament that could force people involved in local elections to fill 40% of their nominations with women, immigrants, and people from ethnic minorities.
40% quote-on candidates.
This would affect, as I say, all local government offices, and it looks likely this bill could pass.
At the present time, about 12% of the population is now made up of non-Irish.
So, it's not as though 40% have to be non-Irish, but they would contribute to this 40% quota.
And the Immigrant Council of Ireland, ...hopes that the number of what they call migrant candidates, these are people who are really just not Irish, will dramatically increase with at least one non-Irish candidate contesting every constituency in next year's local elections.
This is just extraordinary.
Well it should be pointed out that the Prime Minister of Ireland, isn't he an Indian immigrant?
I don't believe it's an actual, an Irish.
The Prime Minister of Ireland?
Yeah!
It's not an Irishman, that's for sure.
Well, I was unaware of that, if that's true.
But no, well, an immigrant, in other words, but at least an Irish citizen.
Correct, that's true, but it's not someone you look at and think, hey, I'd like to go to St.
Patrick's Day party with this cat.
Well, maybe so.
But I was surprised to learn after reading the story about encouraging non-Irish to run in local elections.
Apparently, you can be just a resident or passing through in Ireland and you can vote in local elections.
You don't have to be Irish.
But in July of 2012, the Irish Irish Parliament passed something called the Political Funding Act.
And this required that at least 30% of candidates in national elections, parliamentary elections, be women.
And if not, the political parties surrender 50% of the state funding that they ordinarily receive.
This is yet another example of why state funding for politics is a crazy thing because it puts you under the thumb of people who make the rules whether you like them or not.
And according to this, the threshold for women candidates is going to be up to 40% five years from now.
40% female candidates.
And lo and behold, the number of women who showed up in the Irish Parliament increased 40% after this obligatory increase in female candidates.
So what they're going to do is have an equivalent increase in non-Irish, non-white, non-native aliens in the local elections.
They haven't yet started insisting that they stand these people, non-Irish people, in national elections, but that could be next.
And just to go back and put a nice bow on this about just how crazy Ireland has become, Leo Varadkar is the Prime Minister, he's openly gay, and he is of Indian descent.
Well, shut my mouth.
I should never have doubted the indefatigable, inimitable Paul Kersey.
That I was unaware.
Unfortunately, in one case you do have to doubt the Paul Kersey you just mentioned with those fine adjectives, because regrettably I was wrong about what the Swedish Democrats were going to get in the elections.
I thought they were going to get about 6% more of the vote, and though they did garner 17.6% of the vote, they had hoped to get a lot more.
They went from 49 seats in Parliament to 63.
It was the largest gain, but it wasn't what a lot of people had hoped for.
Yes, I was with you.
I thought there was going to be a Bradley effect in the polls.
Some people were suggesting they might get 20%.
That was a realistic goal, 20%.
And my assumption was that, just as in the United States, people hesitate to admit that they're voting for the, quote, neo-Nazi party.
But still, 17.6%, that makes them third of all the parties.
And it also means, it's quite interesting, Their Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, he had a left-leaning coalition.
It was sort of a minority coalition of Social Democrats, Greens, and the Left Party.
They were running the country.
And now, they lost quite a few votes, so that there is, they have, they got 40.6% of the vote.
The opposition center-right coalition got only 0.2% less, 40.4%.
So, you now have these two almost neck-and-neck coalitions to which it would make eminent sense to add the Swedish Democrats to the opposition center-right, the 40.4%.
With the 17.6% of the Swedish Democrats, they would easily have 50% and they could form a government.
But, as usual, the center-right alliance leader, Ulf, Christertsen is saying, and I quote, the Alliance will not govern or discuss how to form a government with the Sweden Democrats.
And this guy, Stefan Löfven, the current Prime Minister, Social Democrat guy, after leading the Social Democrats to their worst electoral performance in more than 100 years, he says, I'm of course disappointed that a party with roots in Nazism can win so much ground in our time.
Nazism, Nazism, Nazism.
And that's the word that the world press used.
I had some friends who texted me.
They said, hey, can you believe what's going on in Sweden?
And they sent me a link.
And it's funny, it's the same one that we have here in our notes.
The Sun headline, which is of course a British tabloid.
Quote, Swedish election sees neo-Nazi Democrats make huge gains.
I tried to use my SJW voice there.
It didn't really work.
But you saw this everywhere.
I love this comment.
Neo-Nazi Democrats!
Don't they realize how hilarious such a combination is?
Democrats are the real racists in America.
I guess they're the real Nazis, too.
Wasn't Charles Lindbergh a Nazi?
I guess not.
A Democrat?
No, I'm joking.
Well, America first.
That makes you a Nazi.
We all know that now.
You know, it's just so hilarious.
These people, they call them neo-Nazis or Nazis.
Well, what about, you know, there's this other breakaway party, which I was hoping was going to get past the 4% mark and have somebody elected.
That's the alternative for Sweden.
that thinks that the Sweden Democrats aren't foursquare enough.
They're not only in favor of not letting him anymore in, they want to send them home.
Unfortunately, they did not get the votes they needed to be in Parliament, but if the Swedish Democrats are Nazis, what do you call the alternative for Sweden?
Super Nazis?
Or, you know, what if some real Nazis showed up?
You know, armbands and everything.
Would they be ultra Nazis?
Double-plus Nazis?
I mean, you run out of vocabulary.
No, again, at some point white people just put up their self-interest automatically that qualifies you as a Nazi according to AP style books and the world press.
Again, in a couple of years we'll see how these numbers change in a couple of years in Sweden.
They still were able to grow significantly, have more representation within Parliament.
So this is, yes, it's not the leap forward we had thought, but you know what?
It's not a step backward.
No, no, not at all.
Not at all.
And it is significant that this is the first election since Sweden took in a record 163,000 migrants in 2015.
That's higher per capita than the Germans did.
Sweden's a small country, but it's 7 million people.
It's roughly 10.
Is it 10 million people?
Roughly 10.
163,000 people.
They got to spread around the country.
Just one mess after another.
So, yes, this is a very significant step in the right direction, just not as significant as we had hoped.
It's still a step forward.
That's all that matters.
And another step.
Another step.
We talked about on our last broadcast the demonstration in Chemnitz in eastern Germany.
This was a demonstration about 6,000 people came out to protest after a German man was killed by immigrants.
Now, something similar has happened in Köthen in East Germany.
A 23-year-old German man died after an altercation with two Afghans.
And then last Sunday they had 2,500 people coming out to demonstrate despite the fact that the Köthen mayor burned Hosschild Warned against attending the march.
No, no, no, don't do that.
That didn't hold them down.
2,500 people came out.
And there was a member of a far-right organization, as it's called, called Thuagida.
I'd never heard of them.
That's spelled T-H-U-E-G-I-D-A, named David Cockert.
He was seen telling the people, to loud applause, we must defend ourselves in the race war against the German people.
Do you want to continue to be bleating sheep, or do you want to become wolves and shred them to pieces?
Pretty strong talk.
He says white people are now a minority in the world, but a minority who has a fist and will fight back.
It's pretty staunch stuff here.
And I thought one of the most interesting examples of the way people are thinking about the threat of immigration and demographic change is the fact that people are marching through this coethan town chanting, we are the people.
And that was a phrase used 30 years ago to call for the reunification of East and West Germany.
In other words, we are all Germans.
Now, we are the people is suggesting we are still the German people and these people are not the people.
Again, it's because we live here.
This is so... That's right.
I was going to say fun to watch.
It's so horrible that it takes such Extraordinary circumstances of your country basically being colonized at the behest of the elected leaders and officials for this type of pushback.
But you know what?
In America, the entire conservative movement can be summed up as basically putting a boxing glove on that fist that the leader of Thugeta talked about.
A minority has a fist and we'll fight back.
The conservative movement is all about blunting that fist and basically trying to say, hey, don't throw that punch.
You know, go over there in Shadowbox and talk about tax cuts.
Yes.
Tax cuts for your enemies.
You know what?
In fact, Twitter and Facebook and Google and Amazon and Apple, they deserve tax cuts.
They deserve tax cuts.
That's actually got to be our main focal point moving forward in all elections.
That's all we need to talk about.
Right.
Tax cuts.
That'll solve every possible problem.
Every possible problem.
But, you know, the idea that we are the people has now become a racist slogan.
It's like chanting, USA, USA.
It's like saying, make America great.
America first.
Everything, everything that should be the most obvious and normal expression of national pride of peoplehood is now racist.
Not just in the United States, but in Germany as well.
Apparently, the Alternative for Deutschland was going to be putting on their own demonstration.
That has not happened yet, but these people are, they're beating the AFD to the punch, and I'm delighted to see people who are actually to the right, or being more staunch than the AFD, because that lends respect a bit to the AFD, and it just shows you where all of these ideas logically tend to.
Yes, we are white people, and we are fighting back.
This really is a race war.
It's just as well that somebody says it.
You know, this is the type of language that Salvini has actually used during the election, and he's not backing away from it.
He's the type of person who understands you need to go out and meet with the people, and he does a lot of town halls.
This is, again, something that we've talked about.
This is what Donald Trump needs to be doing.
I'm not going to use this type of language.
No.
He's never even had these type of thoughts, but you know what?
Getting thousands upon thousands upon thousands of white people in states like North Carolina and Georgia and Florida and Texas, any of the states where there's battleground fights happening, it's exciting and it makes people understand I'm not alone in my beliefs.
Like you've talked about when people go to an American Renaissance conference the first time.
I'm in the land of the living.
I can breathe and you know what?
It feels good.
And at the end of the day, we know what is going on, and there is a lot of positive things happening out there.
Regrettably, you're not going to be here, though, next week to talk.
Next week, I will be in Europe myself.
I've got a very, very busy lecture schedule.
I think I'm giving five talks, three of them in English, two of them in French.
I'm giving at least two radio interviews and a television interview.
It's going to be a busy time.
But what I will find, I'm sure, is that there are Europeans who see these problems exactly as we do.
That is one of the most startling things, is to find young people, committed people, smart people, attractive people, who really do understand that we are this brotherhood of Europeans.
We face the same problems.
We have to work together.
But I think we have just a few minutes left and what I would like to do is answer a question from a listener.
And this is a listener who apparently is going to have an opportunity to work as a volunteer at a Trump appearance.
And he thinks that he may have a chance to ask Donald Trump a question.
And he wanted to know what would be the questions that Mr. Kersey or I would ask, if we had an opportunity to ask.
And what I suggested to him was, ask him, why is it wrong for whites to prefer to live in a majority white neighborhood or to prefer to live in a majority white country?
After all, it's okay for the Japanese to express that preference.
It's okay for the Israelis to prefer to live in a majority Jewish country.
Why is it wrong for us to want to live in a majority white country?
Now, he might not have a chance to express himself in so many words as that, but the simplest version would be, what's wrong with white people wanting to live in a majority white country?
Why is that wrong?
That's the question I would ask.
I would simply say, hey, Mr. President, why aren't you just retweeting everything Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter are retweeting?
All you have to do is base your policy and base what you're doing to get the press talking about stuff off of their tweets.
Because you know what?
When you've retweeted Tucker Carlson on the whole South Africa and whites having their land stolen, that became an international story that forced the black-run government of South Africa to pull back for the time being.
Yes, yes.
That would be an interesting thing for him to do.
Just start retweeting Tucker Carlson and retweeting Ann Coulter.
They're far more loyal, Mr. Taylor, than a lot of these people within the Trump White House who are putting out unsigned editorials in the New York Times.
That's for sure.
Now, of course, if Donald Trump wanted to strike an enormous blow For real competition in the social media arena, he would drop his Twitter account and take a Gab account.
I mean, there are millions of people who would be forced to follow him over to Gab.
They would have to do it because whatever he tweets is news.
Every journalist in the world would switch.
Lots and lots of people love him or hate him, they'd switch.
Get on Gab, Mr. Trump.
Yes, get on Gab.
Get on Gab.
I don't think he'll ever do it, but I think if you were to ask him, what's wrong with wanting to remain a majority?
I'd love to hear how he would answer.
In fact, I'm always curious to know how even the most rabid lefty egalitarians answer that.
Why is it wrong?
Why is it wrong?
We never get a good answer to that question.
We saw their response to Tucker Carlson's question of, why do we consider diversity a strength?
And I think a lot of people don't want to have to A lot of people don't want that question to ever be asked, and that's the proper role of those in charge of academia and the media to ensure that that question never is allowed to surface in the United States.
Because there's no good answer.
Well, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Our time is up.
