	Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of Radio Renaissance.
	I am Henry Wolff, filling in once again for Jared Taylor, who is still on his speaking tour of Europe, which by all accounts is going well.
	You can read a dispatch he sent from Lithuania.
	on our website under the commentary section.
	But I'm here, as always, with my trusty sidekick, Paul Kersey, and we've got an action-packed show for you.
	These are truly rich times.
	Well, we're coming to you live, Mr. Wolf, on the very day that, well, Jussie Smollett, a guy who has been in the news the past couple weeks.
	He, of course, is a gay black man, an actor in Empire, Make a long story short, he claimed that he was attacked by a couple white guys wearing red hats who said this is MAGA country at 2 a.m.
	in Chicago a couple weeks ago.
	It turns out...
	As we all knew all along, it was all made up and yet it was proliferated by a rabidly anti-white corporate media and by all of the leading Democrat candidates for president and unfortunately Mr. Trump.
	President Trump even tweeted out about it.
	He jumped on it.
	It's really been a bad start to the year for the media though.
	We kicked it off with the Houston shooting.
	Yeah, the Houston shooting that has completely fallen off of the cliff.
	The only person I see even bringing this up on Twitter is Clay Travis.
	Of course, he's a sports guy who continues to poke and prod the SJW media as he noted, hey, what happened to the, what happened to the Jasmine Barn shooting?
	Here was a story where the New York Times to start the year, Mr. Wolf, dedicated 12 stories.
	And in the headlines, they talked about It was a police shooting for a white shooter of a seven-year-old black girl.
	Yeah, white suspect.
	White suspect.
	A white suspect, and I believe a red truck if I remember correctly.
	Well, guess what?
	It turned out, to the chagrin of a lot of people probably in the media, it was just two black gangbangers who shot her.
	Definitely to the chagrin.
	So the story dropped.
	Definitely to the chagrin.
	And then we had, not a racial story, but you had the Buzzfeed failure where they reported that Trump had ordered Michael Cohen to perjure himself, basically.
	before Congress and that fell through. Mueller himself rebutted that story. Then you have the
	mass layoffs that came for all the media. BuzzFeed, Vice, Gannett, all cutting substantial
	percentages of their staff. Then of course you had the Covington fiasco, which the media just
	totally blew. And now Jesse Smollett. We're not going to talk about it at length,
	but it is important to look at the Covington Catholic Boys and what has just happened with
	the $250 million lawsuit.
	Yeah, they're suing the Washington Post.
	Yeah, we're talking about one of the boys, the gentleman, the young boy who... Sandman.
	He stood stoically, staring ahead with his MAGA hat on.
	All they were trying to do was come to Washington, D.C., ladies and gentlemen, to go to the March for Life.
	And now they're going to war with a company whose tagline is, Democracy Dies in Darkness.
	Well, I think we know it's the exact opposite.
	Well, and that's true.
	I mean, as Brit Hume just tweeted, I guess he took one for the team going through the print edition of the Washington Post today, and he did not find anything about our headline story, which is that Jussie Smollett was arrested for hoaxing.
	And democracy, yes, it dies in darkness, and so this is just not news that needs to be out there.
	Mr. Wolf, the American Renaissance readership and the listeners of the Renaissance Radio podcast are very sophisticated.
	I am sure 99.9% with an error margin of 0.1% 0.01%.
	They knew right away that this didn't pass the smell test.
	At all.
	There was no way that this could be true, and yet the media allowed the anti-white piling up to continue, to continue until it became just one of those horrifying car accidents that you're afraid to look away from when you're driving down the interstate.
	Well, and as I mentioned on the podcast last week, I mean, I'm not even sure that all of them In their hearts even believed it happened but they just the way that these things work is they spend so much time hyping it and so little time reporting the truth that the net it's a net wash in favor.
	It's it's not a wash.
	It's it's In favor of the anti-white narrative.
	On balance.
	And that's the way these hoaxes work.
	Now, this one I would say is a little bit different because it has played out so long.
	Because the police didn't immediately tag Smollett as a hoaxer.
	Correct.
	There were leaks and it lasted days and the media of course had to report on the various leaks that were happening.
	I would say that on balance this is a net negative for the anti-white.
	Oh, precisely.
	I mean, think about how slow, like you said, the story kept playing out.
	There was investigations.
	He went to the hospital.
	You had police reports.
	Apparently he didn't go to the hospital.
	Yeah, there were rumors he had cracked ribs.
	And then it turns out today that the police allege, hey, these are self-inflicted wounds.
	We're going to talk more about how hilarious a lot of the This whole episode really was in terms of the comedic nature of the planning for this hate crime hoax, but think about this, Mr. Wolf, and this is a story that's completely fallen off the national
	Dialogue.
	There was a mass shooting this past weekend.
	Black guy shot five people.
	In Chicago.
	It was in Milwaukee.
	It was in Wisconsin.
	It was very close to Chicago.
	I'm sorry.
	It was in suburban Illinois.
	Suburban Chicago.
	And it was a black guy who was being fired.
	He shouldn't have had a gun.
	He was legally not allowed to own a gun.
	He refused to turn it in when he got a letter.
	He was fired.
	I think there were four or five people in the room when he was fired.
	Of the people that he shot and killed, four out of five are white.
	One's a light-skinned Hispanic.
	No one seems to care about investigating that.
	Remember a few years ago, we had that episode, I think it was in 2015, where the white news reporter, the white girl was doing a report in Roanoke, and a black guy comes up, and you can see in the chilling video him holding a Glock right at her, and he shoots her point break.
	Point blank.
	Well, it turned out he had a manifesto and he was upset about the incident in Charleston, South Carolina.
	But we haven't seen the manifesto.
	Well, the ABC, it was leaked to ABC and they admitted that he wanted to start a race war.
	Drudge actually had a headline that I actually took a screenshot of and I find if you actually Google it, when you click on it, it takes you to an old SBPDL page because I had the foresight to just go ahead and screenshot it because Drudge had the image of the Glock pointing at the white girl black hand with his hand on the trigger and it said race war.
	Right.
	And that's a story that was completely forgotten so obviously no one's gonna ever look back into this whole mass shooting in the suburbs of Chicago and what happened but it's funny to juxtapose that.
	Yeah, because Smollett, you know, there's nothing bigger than an intersectional victim guy getting attacked.
	And some of the reports that have come out after this, as people, you know, try and analyze what this says about our moment and so on, have got it right, in that there's no amount of achievement that Smollett could have had in his
	acting career or anything.
	There's nothing he could have done which would have elevated him as high as if this attack
	was legitimate.
	Think about what happened immediately after this attack.
	Twitter, the blue check marks went crazy.
	You had that moment where Ellen Page, the lesbian actress, was on Stephen Colbert's
	show and she went on an expletive-filled rant that left Stephen Colbert speechless, where
	she blamed Mike Pence and anti-LGBT for this attack.
	It was an unhinged rant and you watch it now and you wonder if she has any ounce of remorse
	for doing this.
	Because no, the initial story, the initial thrust of the reporting enabled her to do
	this, to act out her hatred toward those who oppose her agenda.
	And again, she did touch on race.
	It was largely about the gender.
	The homophobic nature of the attack, as it was said, that obviously, I mean, again, there was a great piece in America Renaissance.
	I encourage people to go back and read it by Robert Hampton, where he pointed out this was in an area that was heavily black and Chicago has, you know, I want to say Trump only got what, I think it was 22% of the vote in Chicago.
	He basically laid out logically how this could not have been.
	Just take out all the hate crime hoaxes that we know happened in the past.
	Just logically think about it.
	Well, there's a million lines of logic that you could follow to realize just how silly it is.
	It's like the guy had his Subway sandwich still in his hand.
	He like kept the rope around his neck.
	You know, there was like no real damage done to him.
	Like why were these guys hanging out in Chicago when it was freezing cold at 2 a.m.
	like stalking like their favorite black soap opera, like whatever the name, whatever the show is about.
	But yeah, the revelation has come out today as well that we now know Smollett's motive.
	And apparently he was dissatisfied with the $65,000 per episode salary that he was receiving.
	which I guess came out to about 1.3 mil a year, and he wanted a bump in that. And so he decided
	that the best way to do that was to hoax his way into it.
	And he started off with this letter that he mailed to himself, you know, talking about lynching
	and things like that.
	Every white supremacist trope imaginable is in this letter.
	For some reason we have to start using that word trope now.
	I'm seeing that buzzword a lot lately, so we'll throw it in here.
	Those letters are hilarious because, again, this is like from the 1930s, Ransom Letter.
	He cut out the magazines and all that.
	So, he mailed that to himself.
	He didn't get the reaction he wanted.
	So, he coordinated with these Nigerian, although I guess they were born here or something, body builders.
	They are American citizens, but they are Nigerian.
	Okay.
	Well, we will call them Nigerian-Americans.
	How's that?
	Or just Nigerians.
	And so, he coordinated with them.
	He arranged to pay them $3,500.
	By check.
	By check.
	Well, we'll go into that.
	But yeah, he decided to do this, and apparently the motive was only to get more money.
	Well, no.
	I mean, if he wanted to get more money, there's different ways he could have gone about doing that.
	How about asking for a raise?
	No.
	He clearly wanted to besmirch white America.
	And the suggestion, as some are, the left, who are desperately trying to hold on to any anti-white narrative that they can, they're saying the real victims of this are the actual victims of hate crimes, who will be scared to come forward or who will face incredulous, like, police.
	No.
	Like, it's 2019.
	In America, do you honestly think that there is a single person who's a victim of a hate crime who goes to the police, who's not going to have his case thoroughly?
	Investigator.
	Because any investigator is going to want to land a slam-dunk hate crime case.
	Oh yeah, I mean that was the whole reason.
	Major promotion.
	That was the whole reason why Mike Nafong back in, I think that's how he pronounced his last name, the district attorney in Durham, that was the whole reason why he went after the Duke Lacrosse boys.
	He saw this as a stepping stone to greatness, to greater things.
	And that is the way that you have to look at all of these hate crime hoaxes.
	America Renaissance, I mean, my gosh, you can go back and listen to some of the podcasts that Jared and I've done or with you, Mr. Wolf, and we've talked about some of these horrifically anti-white acts.
	And we have a whole map and people can see it on the sidebar of our site.
	There's a Anti-Trump hate crime hoax map that people can go and check out and We've done a lot of data analysis there.
	We've you can go and navigate the incidents and and Definitely encourage our listeners to do that.
	But yeah to go back to the point No that the actual victims of so-called hate crimes are not victimized by Smollett who is victimized is white America.
	Yeah, and Trump supporters and so on.
	And that's the bottom line.
	It's white people, period.
	And this was an act of hatred by Smollett against white America.
	He didn't care if white people, two white innocents who he fingered for this, got pinned to the wall and thrown in jail for this.
	He didn't care that all of Trump's supporters were being besmirched.
	No.
	It was clearly an attack on white America, and actually on Twitter, the black sheriff, I think formerly of Milwaukee, Sheriff Clark, he said, Oh, come on, Cook County prosecutor.
	This is undercharged.
	Jesse Smollett should be charged with a hate crime enhancer.
	He targeted white males, heterosexuals, and Trump supporters based on their race or sexual orientation.
	Where is the deterrence message?
	You go back and you look at all the tweets that were put out by the Democratic presidential candidates from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris.
	Cory Booker.
	Cory Booker.
	I mean, this all happened at the same time that this lynching bill was being discussed.
	And I think I saw somewhere where the last lynching in America took place, I want to say 38 years ago, in the 1970s.
	So this was supposed to be a slam dunk win For Cory Booker, Senator from New Jersey, the light-skinned black Senator from New Jersey, and the light-skinned black Senator from California are both running.
	This is a moment to be like, hey, look.
	Look what just happened to our friend Jussie Smollett.
	We know this guy.
	And all the tweets they put out.
	I mean, it's... Also, you go back and look at what this enabled the Hollywood actors to do.
	They were able to rally around this show, this actor, and once again say, In Trump's America, this type of actions are becoming more and more prevalent and ubiquitous.
	Yeah, and of course that's... Wait a second.
	What are you talking about?
	People can go, and we did a video on the so-called escalation in hate crimes, which is in itself a hoax.
	Because if you look at it, among other things, the reason that the number of hate crimes tallied by the FBI is going up is because more jurisdictions are reporting them.
	So, because you have a relatively small number of jurisdictions that even do that because it's not mandatory.
	Correct.
	To report the number of hate crimes.
	So of course the number is going up.
	They're counting more jurisdictions.
	We don't know whether there's more or less on a per capita basis.
	Because we just don't have that data.
	Actually, if it may be so bold to say, we would know if they were happening more because the media would tell us about it constantly.
	Oh yeah.
	And when these type of things happen, they're in the news for a day.
	I remember there was a Muslim girl who said that some Trump supporters took off her hijab and it turned out
	that she was going to be late for going home or something. And that was the reason because
	she was staying out late past curfew and she was worried about how her parents were going to react.
	But the media ran with this. It was a great moment. This was going on, I want to say, at the same
	time that the travel ban was being Well, there have actually been dozens and dozens of these cases.
	You're right, you're right.
	And there's a guy on Twitter, he writes for National Review, and I think he's an editor at Quillette, Andy Neo, N-G-O is how you spell his last name.
	I encourage readers to go and scroll through his timeline and find this long list that he has of anti-Trump hate hoaxes.
	So check out our map, but also check out his compilation, and you really can see, and you'll remember all these stories because you'll remember the media hysteria that surrounded it when it first happened, but you might not even realize that some of these actually turned out to be hoaxes because the media just whisper when that happens.
	It's page 27, and it had been on page one for a couple days, the retraction, oh wait, The person who filed this is now a suspect.
	Every single one of these stories was used as a bludgeon to attack Trump.
	Every single one.
	And by proxy, white America.
	And by proxy, white America.
	And what has Trump done about it?
	Nothing.
	Absolutely nothing.
	You know what Trump has done about it, Mr. Wolf?
	He tweeted out support for Justin Smollett immediately when it happened.
	Did he tweet support?
	I know he said it.
	He talked about it and said this is...
	Regrettable?
	I don't remember the exact word.
	No, no, no.
	He called it.
	Someone asked him about it.
	He said it was the worst thing that could ever happen to anybody.
	Just horrific or whatever.
	He jumped on the train.
	And then when it came out as a hoax, I saw he tweeted today something very mild.
	Just saying like, you know, Jesse should apologize to great Trump's tens of millions Americans who he offended through his accusations.
	How dare he?
	How dare he attack MAGA?
	If Trump had any sense, And if the people around him had any sense, he would propose legislation to make hate crime hoaxes themselves hate crimes.
	A federal offense.
	Or create a federal offense for doing hoaxes.
	And you could get support for this, I think, across the aisle even.
	Because there are, I'm sure, leftists who are upset about the fact that, you know, or If you actually believe what they say, you know, this makes it harder for victims to go forward and stuff like that.
	So Trump could go out there and say, we want to make it so that real victims can come forward.
	Therefore, if it's demonstrated that someone's a hoaxer, we want to make it a federal offense.
	Criminalized.
	A strong felony.
	Yes.
	Well, I mean, Mr. Wolf, if lynching is now a federal offense, shouldn't a faux lynching be a federal offense?
	Yeah.
	How hard is this logically to follow?
	Because this, like you said, if there are individuals out there, regardless of race or sexual orientation, committing a horrific hate crime, the legislation's there, they should be It should be, you know, adjudicated.
	They should have to go face a jury, go to trial, whatever.
	They should, because that is a deterrent.
	That's what laws are there for.
	But right now, there is no deterrent to those who commit hate crime.
	Smollett, at most, is facing, they hit him with the hardest thing they could, which is felony crime.
	And in Chicago, it's disorderly conduct.
	It's only a local crime.
	There's no federal crime for it, and he may get a federal crime separately for mailing himself the hoax.
	Correct.
	Because that would be a federal offense, the letter he mailed to himself.
	But the biggest penalty he's facing is three years in jail, plus I think $25,000 in fines.
	A relative slap on the wrist, and I saw some stuff, I'm not sure if this is true, of someone saying that, you know, the sheriff or somebody in Cook County is saying that if he, like, pays a fine and, you know, apologizes that everything will be okay.
	I'm not sure whether that's true.
	The sheriff of Cook County, he's a black male, black gentleman, said, you know, he gave this rambling press conference earlier today.
	Today is February 21st, so if you want to go back and look for it, it was a celebrated press conference because apparently he was forceful and saying, how dare you do this to the reputation of Chicago.
	Jesse Smalls is like, wait a second, reputation of Chicago?
	This is a city that a few years ago Jesse Jackson said the United Nations should come into because of the violent crime that was largely perpetrated by blacks or Hispanics.
	Right.
	This is a city that has one of the lowest clearance rates on homicides in the entire country.
	What reputation?
	I mean this is the only thing he did was it's it was an anti-white Act period as we said and I'll go so far to say that in a few years He'll have a tell-all book coming out where he blames the climate of hate that Trump and Trump supporters and white Americans this atmosphere of hate that they created and And that was, by osmosis, what forced him to do this.
	That's why he lashed out.
	Irrational as it might seem, it was the only thing he could do because it was a cry for help.
	And he could even say something along the lines of, I was on the verge of suicide.
	And this was all I could think of was to coordinate with two of my friends, these Nigerian bodybuilders.
	And I thought, let's choreograph this attack.
	You guys, I'll give you a check for $3,500.
	um all right rent or something and the four line and you go buy this these supplies mr wolf there's an amazing video that was found of the two nigerians Purchasing all of the accoutrements that were used in the attack.
	And James Woods on Twitter pointed out you can see the cardboard and the masks that they wore at the checkout line.
	It is amazing.
	The idiocy that surrounded this hoax was what really made it truly rich.
	And again, the media has had to report on it because it's so rich.
	You just can't ignore stuff like this.
	He wrote a check.
	You know, talk about a literal paper trail.
	There's surveillance video of them buying all the gear that they used.
	Apparently they rehearsed the attack beforehand and that may be on camera somewhere.
	Jesse made calls to them both before and after the attack and so that's why he was so sensitive about only letting the police see some of his phone records.
	You look at the, he did this, you know, softball interview with What was it 60 minutes or whatever?
	He did a few.
	And well, it was one that was really popular and it was with a black interviewer and she just asked him all these things about how he was feeling and so on and he was fake crying and all this.
	All this nonsense, but there was a great line in there where he was decrying all of the fear mongrels who are out there.
	Not fear mongers, fear mongrels.
	And it's like we're dealing with a guy of tremendously low intelligence here who planned what he knew would be an international scandal and did it It's almost insulting how dumb he was putting this together.
	As you alluded to earlier, he did this twice.
	He sent letters to himself.
	Yeah.
	And then he did this elaborate plan which had very little thought behind it.
	And again, remember though, for a couple weeks he was a very sympathetic character.
	He had his time in the sun.
	He had his time in the sun because the prevailing winds in America are blowing in a very anti-white direction and this story checked every box The media wanted but I would like to go back to the the Trump thing and the legislation because Trump has just for the past really for the past couple months.
	He's been totally on the back foot.
	You look at his State of the Union speech.
	It was the entire thing was catered towards He's got a chance here to take the offensive against the media with both Covington and Smollett.
	And what has he done?
	on. You look at the way that he's reacted with regard to the border crisis. Every single
	thing has been reactive. It's been begging the Democrats.
	It's been going lower and lower and lower. He's got a chance here to take the offensive
	against the media with both Covington and Smollett. And what has he done? There was
	there were whispers at one point that he was going to invite the Covington kids to the White
	House. Why hasn't he?
	I mean, that is a slam dunk.
	The media would then have to cover the fact that the kids went to the White House.
	They'd have to cover their own coverage.
	It would be devastating.
	With this Smollett thing, I don't understand why he doesn't do something like what we talked about.
	Propose legislation that makes hate crime hoaxes a federal offense. And what conversation does that start?
	Even if the legislation doesn't pass, what conversation does that start?
	It points out people, the media will have to say, well, is this a real problem?
	And they'll have to look at the numbers. And people have cataloged this stuff. There are
	hundreds of hate crime hoaxes that have happened in the past decade.
	Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds.
	There's a book coming out by a black professor who debated Jared Taylor a couple years ago and said triumphantly that in 200 years white people won't exist anymore.
	In this debate.
	I think his name is Wilford Riley?
	That's right.
	And he actually was contracted to write a book with Regnery.
	It comes out on February 26th.
	It's about hate crime hoaxes.
	And how they're anti-white.
	Right.
	So there's tremendous material there, which is in support of his base, which fights back against the media who spread these hoaxes.
	But instead, what does he do?
	He goes on Twitter and writes these lame posts about how the New York Times is the enemy
	of the people in all caps.
	And he just comes off like a crank.
	Rather than actually bring, like you can't, it's the number one thing in politics, like
	don't tell, show.
	And you could bring Covington kids to the White House and show what the media, who victims
	of the fake news media are.
	If the media are enemies of the people, who do they attack?
	They attack the Covington kids.
	If they're fake news, what do they lie about?
	Smollett.
	Hate crime hoaxes.
	You've got to advance the narrative and he just hasn't done a good job doing it.
	The photo ops and the video with Trump and the Catholic Boys from Covington Catholic in Kentucky would be tremendous.
	He'd be in the White House, he'd give a tour, he'd have a big meal, then he'd come out and he'd have them next to him.
	And they're wearing their hats?
	He does a press conference and he says, hey, I call you guys fake news, the enemy of the people.
	These boys right here to my left, they're fantastic.
	They're wonderful people.
	Look what you did to them.
	Fake news.
	You're fake news.
	It's a powerful moment.
	It becomes a video.
	It becomes a campaign video.
	I'm very down on MAGA.
	I think that Trump has been a disaster.
	Over the past few months, the shutdown was horrific.
	As you pointed out, he seems to be going away from the Campaign Trump completely.
	I mean, it's like, what happened to Campaign Trump?
	I would argue that he hasn't gone away from it completely.
	If you look at, there are a couple of signs that he's still there in terms of his instincts.
	But I think he's just surrounded himself with horrible people and he doesn't really know what the heck is going on with his own administration.
	You look at during that day six days ago when he was in the Rose Garden and he was declaring the national emergency.
	That morning, and I guess in the days prior, the Angel Moms, who are mothers whose children have been murdered by illegal aliens, were in D.C.
	and they were trying to meet with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
	I think they got the meeting with Schumer.
	But all of these people surrounding Trump, including There were reports that Mick Mulvaney gave the word.
	Who's the Chief of Staff for those not aware?
	Acting Chief of Staff.
	He said, no we can't let Trump meet with the Angel Moms because they oppose this budget deal and it might not go through and we really need this to pass.
	Apparently Kellyanne Conway.
	was also of the same mind and, you know, even called the Angel Moms and told them,
	you know, you've got to stop this because the Angel Moms, when they found out they couldn't
	get a meeting with Trump, they were planning on holding a press conference and demonstration in
	front of the White House. Which I wish they would have.
	Which would have been terrible PR.
	But apparently Trump walked in on Kellyanne Conway.
	This is all according to Ryan Gerduski on Twitter, who everyone should follow.
	He seems to have a lot of good White House sources, and he's a strong MAGA guy.
	But apparently, Trump walked in on Kellyanne Conway and she was just crestfallen because the Angel Moms had said that they were going to still hold this event.
	Correct.
	And so finally, someone spilled the beans to Trump and said that the Angel Moms were trying to meet with him.
	And he said, oh, well, you know, I'll meet with him.
	And he gave them a call and said, you know, come on.
	And at this point, unfortunately, a lot of the Angel Moms had already left, but they did have the meeting.
	And unfortunately, they weren't able to dissuade him from signing the bill, but they were there in the Rose Garden.
	But this is just an example of how Trump doesn't really know what's going on, but once he finds out, he's like, oh yeah, bring them.
	And he met with them, and he talked to them about their stories and so on, and featured them in the Rose Garden.
	Because going back to what we were talking about, what Trump can do in regards to these litany of hate crime hoaxes, all he really needs to do is tweet out, retweet Andy Neos, tweet Yeah, this whole list.
	That he has there.
	This amazing Twitter streamer.
	Is that what you call it?
	Right.
	Instead of, like, you know, retweeting, like, the mock-up video of, like, all the people who were sad about his State of the Union or whatever.
	All he has to do is say, look at this fake... He's scored legitimate points.
	Look at this fake news that the enemies of the people have stated has been fact and it turns out that it's incorrect.
	These are my supporters who are being slandered, who are being libeled, who are being attacked Right.
	And my supporters are the great people.
	Trump has just not done a good job of standing by his people.
	Well, on that same vein, during that rambling speech when he talked about how he didn't want to sign this bill, we're going to have a national emergency, he started talking about all sorts of other stuff that completely flies in the face of how he's actually legislating.
	And one of those examples, Mr. Wolf, is he started talking about drug dealers.
	And I believe he talked about How wonderful it was the Chinese have no tolerance for drug dealers.
	Yeah, he was talking about how he was talking to President Xi about how the Chinese, they solved their fentanyl problem by murdering drug dealers.
	And he was basically saying that approvingly and saying how great this was.
	Meanwhile, his signature legislative achievement so far, other than the tax cuts, has been this so-called criminal justice reform, the First Step Act.
	Which part of that was designed to let drug dealers out of jail early.
	And literally during his State of the Union, he featured these drug dealers who, you know, arguably this is one of the highest honors that a citizen can receive in America is being featured during the State of the Union.
	He's got these drug dealers up there who did nothing great.
	Nothing special.
	He's like, oh yeah, this person completed like a dozen Bible studies in like 20 years.
	It's like, well, what else is he going to do?
	They sold death to their communities and in a press conference, you're saying they should have been murdered like the Chinese government does.
	No, he featured someone else wrote a State of the Union.
	Someone else invited these guys.
	Jared Kushner wrote the First Step Act.
	But during his Rose Garden speech where he's just talking off the cuff or whatever, he's talking about how the Chinese are executing these people and how great that is.
	So, I would say that he just doesn't, the left doesn't know what the right is doing.
	But his instincts tend to be pretty good.
	And you saw this yet again with the news this week that his administration is going to launch this global initiative to decriminalize homosexuality.
	Encourage countries who criminalize it to stop it and It's like, what is this about?
	Like, this is neocon stuff.
	This is spreading American values, like, around the world.
	This is taking neoliberalism to its logical conclusion.
	Yeah.
	Like, everyone must have gay marriage now.
	Like, this is now, like, Republican policy.
	Like, instead of, like, we go a long way from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton opposing gay marriage to Trump, like, enforcing it around the world or whatever.
	At the barrel of a gun.
	To be fair, they're not talking about gay marriage, but they're just talking about ending Criminalization.
	And a lot of people have speculated that it was targeted toward Iran.
	Yeah, it's, like, to delegitimize Iran, I mean, do you really have to, like, go to, uh, homosexuality?
	Like, the fact that Iran, like, treats homosexuals badly, like, is that how you have to, like, de- That's the moral high ground in America.
	I know, and, but that goes to what I was saying earlier, is that Trump, like, only cares about leftist morality, and, like, appealing to leftist morality.
	Or so we thought.
	Well, but, yeah, I mean, at least his administration, at this point, uh, with regard to this gesture, but then he was asked about it in a press conference, Or not a press conference.
	It was just a kind of informal Q&A with reporters.
	The reporter said, you know, Mr. President, on your push to decriminalize homosexuality, are you doing that and why?
	And Trump said, you know, say it again.
	And then she said, you're pushed to decriminalize homosexuality around the world.
	And he says, I don't know which report you're talking about.
	We have many reports.
	Anybody else?
	Right.
	So he just acted like he had no idea what was going on.
	And it's just like, next question.
	You know, one of the things we see Trump do, and he just did this other day where he did the tweet, enemy of the people at the New York Times.
	But think about how many times President Trump has invited editors, reporters from the New York Times for off the record exclusive interviews in the Oval Office.
	Yeah.
	If they are the enemies of the people, then why are you inviting them into the mansion
	that during the wonderful inaugural address you gave, you were going to give the government
	back to you, the people?
	That's not happening.
	Excellent.
	Excellent bane post.
	No, instead what we have are these rogues within his administration, many of whom are
	anti-Trumpers.
	They were never Trumpers during the campaign.
	When they saw the light that, hey, this guy actually might win, we need to make sure that
	our palms are greased and we get a job at this administration.
	Yep, we saw that this week that the Koch brothers' acolyte Mark Short is now going to be Pence's chief of staff.
	Correct.
	And he ran like an entire PAC dedicated to stopping Trump.
	Largely on immigration.
	Yeah, and he just sucks on immigration.
	And this guy is now Right there.
	And people are theorizing that this could be a stepping stone to becoming the actual Chief of Staff because Mick Mulvaney is only acting Chief of Staff.
	And then we got more reports this week that now Actually, this came out today from McClashy that Jared Kushner is now leading a push to reform legal immigration.
	Another bipartisan effort.
	He was able to go across the aisle and get a bunch of Democrats who have all read Michelle Alexander's book, The New Jim Crow, and they say, we gotta get all these brown and black people out of jail.
	And they did it.
	And Trump signed the First Step Act.
	And now it's all about, hey, there are too many jobs open.
	We need to go ahead and get a lot more legal immigrants into the country, which is a complete repudiation of the candidate Trump that we saw I love the reporting on Jared Kushner because it always says the media love talking about what a great negotiator he is and how he's bipartisan and how he can really bring people to the table.
	Whenever you hear the word bipartisan in the media, you should just replace it with, like, leftist.
	Like, that's what bipartisan means.
	Like, anything that's bipartisan is just leftist full stop.
	Democrats win big, Republicans bend over.
	That's what bipartisan means.
	That's exactly what it means.
	And, you know, Jared Kushner, people talk about his, the negotiating work he did on the trade deals, the new NAFTA.
	I mean, I don't know that much about the trade deal, like the details of it, but my understanding is it from most commentators is that it's essentially the same thing as NAFTA.
	It's, like, barely better than NAFTA for us.
	The Mexicans gave him, like, the Order of the Aztec Eagle or something, which is, like, the highest honor they can give to a non-citizen because of his work on the deal.
	So if they were getting, like, shafted from it, do you really think that they would give him that?
	No.
	Okay, so he's not a winner.
	He did this RAISE Act, which is going to come back to bite Republicans and Trump in the ass because it's going to let criminals and people who are, you know, in all likelihood, like genetically predisposed towards crime out of jail early.
	And they're going to commit new crimes.
	And then that's going to be they're going to get Willie Hortoned themselves.
	Yeah.
	The first step back, I think, was one of those moments where I took a step back and said, Alright, something has happened to this idea of MAGA.
	This is getting really weird.
	This is not what we signed up for.
	Again, you look at his administration, personnel's policy, or so I've heard.
	Where are those who are loyal to him?
	The only person you have is Stephen Miller.
	You think about the great people who left.
	Sebastian Gorka really isn't that great on some issues.
	He talks about Islam.
	Okay, you know how you stop Islam?
	You don't let Muslims in your country.
	Yeah.
	And then you don't go bomb them.
	Right.
	How hard is that?
	Pretty simple.
	And that's all you have to advocate.
	Which was Trump's policy, by the way.
	It was.
	No, it was.
	It was.
	That was what he campaigned on.
	But then think about the other gentleman who left, the Flight 93 essayist.
	I'm blanking on his name.
	Oh, Anton.
	Yeah, Michael Anton.
	Steve Bannon.
	Steve Bannon was one of the first ones.
	Do you think Corey Lewandowski?
	Do you think about all these people who were loyal to him during the campaign when the entire Republican establishment... Remember what National Review did?
	They had a cover story signed, I think Glenn Beck was on there, Britt Bozell.
	Oh, the Against Trump issue.
	The Against Trump issue.
	How many of those people now are satellites now of this administration?
	It's honestly absurd.
	Now, instead of Steve Bannon, we've got Jared Kushner.
	The report came out that Kushner is taking a new approach preferred by more traditional Republicans, particularly those close to the corporate sector.
	Ooh, music to my ears, Mr. Kersey, music to my ears.
	I love when the corporate sector dictates our immigration policy.
	The Chamber of Commerce and the Koch Brothers Foundation, their tentacles are all over this, and this is depressing stuff.
	Yes, Kushner is a real problem.
	And in this report, you see one Eric Miller, who's a trade consultant who is working with the Canadian government on the trade talks.
	And so he worked with Kushner.
	He said the thing that's indispensable about Kushner is that, quote, he has the president's absolute trust.
	What a devastating thing to hear.
	What a disaster to put absolute trust in this guy who is a globalist, who is a liberal, who has done nothing good for the administration as far as anyone can tell.
	I mean, maybe incremental gains on the trade deal or something, but the First Step Act is a disaster.
	And now he's turning his attention toward the signature campaign issue.
	And so, what's going to happen?
	Well, let's find out.
	A, quote, senior administration official said the White House is rethinking some policies that it supported before, such as Senator Tom Cotton's RAISE Act, which would institute a merit-based system to determine who's admitted to the country, but would also slash legal immigration.
	That was what the RAISE Act would have done, and the administration is now rethinking that.
	Well, and I would even say that the RAISE Act in itself is not great, because we don't need any more immigration.
	No, we need legal immigration.
	We bring in 1.2 million legal immigrants a year, and this has led to us having the highest foreign-born population we've ever had.
	It's something like 45 million foreign-born people are living in America right now.
	14% of the US population.
	And as far as I know, that's just legally.
	Yeah.
	14% of the U.S.
	population.
	1 in 10 voters, this was reported on Breitbart today, are now going to be foreign-born in the next election.
	And of course they go about 65% for Clinton back in 2016.
	So it's an absolute disaster.
	Our country is being invaded legally and illegally.
	A wall is not enough.
	But Republicans will tell you if it's happening legally, hey, it's alright.
	This is wonderful.
	That's what Trump said during his State of the Union and reiterated the next day that he wants more legal immigrants than ever before.
	Clearly, He's got Jared whispering in his ear.
	It's like from Lord of the Rings.
	Wormtongue.
	Yeah, it's like Wormtongue in his ear.
	Hopefully he can have this Wormtongue removed and he can become the King Theda and the Trump that we thought we were going to get.
	I don't know.
	Gandalf has to come in and cast out the demons.
	Yeah, but it's a mess.
	And so, yeah, Kushner is going to take a pro-business approach to things.
	He's going to, at best, bring in high-IQ Indians and Asians instead of low-IQ third-worlders, at best, but they're also going to try and increase the numbers.
	The report also says, very disappointingly, well, I guess one kind of ray of light is that Stephen Miller is involved in these talks with Kushner, but the report also says that Stephen Miller has basically been displaced by Kushner in terms of importance on this issue, which is just terrible.
	President Trump has an uphill battle in 2020.
	He's got to do something for the base.
	We haven't seen that yet.
	The symbol is the wall.
	If you can actually legitimately start building the wall, if you could have some high-profile illegal immigrants deported, some of those who are most vociferous, if you could do something that you could hang your hat on, if you could invite the Covington kids, Mr. President, if you could do something.
	Well, he spent all of his time trying to please people who are not going to vote for him.
	All his legislative priorities, tax cuts, healthcare, First Step Act, all this stuff.
	You're not doing anything to appeal to the people who came over from the Democratic Party to vote for you.
	You're not doing a single thing to win over a Rust Belt voter.
	You know what's happening right now in Florida right now?
	What's that?
	Governor DeSantis is trying to push through to the chagrin of the Florida Chamber of Commerce and Business in CUNY.
	E-verify.
	Well, yeah, DeSantis, hopefully he'll, if he does achieve that and he succeeds at that, I saw Ryan Gerduski actually tweet this, we should go ahead and he can primary Trump in 2020 and we can all support him.
	I mean, no, again, you've got, you've got people like, and this is one of the sad things that with Chris Kobach not winning the governor in Kansas and then just kind of disappearing.
	I mean, why is this guy not part of the administration?
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, he lost the governor.
	Moore and Coulter was tweeting about that again today.
	I mean, again, we've got a point now where, and you've talked about this before, and I hope that you'll elaborate this on in an article or in a future podcast, what comes after Trump?
	You've got Tucker Carlson, who's talking about some tremendous stuff.
	He's going as far as you can to lead people.
	To the door.
	Well, I think, I think Tucker has, uh, I think Tucker has a winning platform that appeals to people from both the right and the left.
	Yes.
	And arguably, you know, Trump could have had that, but he just hasn't done it.
	And, you know, you could say, uh, building the wall, you know, extra legally, I don't even know if that's going to do it for him.
	I don't know if his base is going to be so hot on that.
	It does set a bad precedent.
	Um, You know, trying to declare like national emergencies.
	I'm gonna play devil's advocate real quick.
	Sure.
	Does it matter?
	There are a lot of Republicans still in this country who will vote Republican regardless of what happens.
	Well, yeah.
	And some of these states where, you know, I believe that he won, Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin by something like less than a hundred thousand votes.
	Yeah.
	It was very close.
	It's extremely close.
	The question is, so when you see these polls and Republicans are happy with them, what about those who voted for him that voted for Obama in 2012?
	That's why you have to see something.
	The working class.
	He's not going to do it.
	And he's not going to win any voters from the First Step Act.
	Guarantee that none of the newly released felons are going to be voting for him.
	I don't actually think that the much vaunted Blexit, or I'm sorry, Blexit, Is it- is it Blacks- Blexig.
	Blexig.
	Whatever it is.
	This idiotic thing that, uh, Turning Point USA is- is doing so they can- so they can, uh, get more donations from aging white boomers who have decided to hang all their hopes in the browning of America and, uh, the idea that capitalism is somehow going to catch fire and that they're gonna vote and leave the plantation.
	No, they're not.
	No, they're not.
	Come on guys.
	No.
	And so, I mean, Trump has to do stuff to energize his base.
	I don't think he can do it.
	At this point, I think the Democrats are going to do everything they can to obstruct him.
	He hasn't done anything legislatively to help his base.
	If he builds really epic, substantial amounts of wall, it might do something, but I still don't even think that would be enough.
	I think that people aren't convinced that his tax cut wasn't just a handout to big business and the rich.
	So I don't think that, uh, I don't think he's got it and then he's missing all this low-hanging fruit like inviting the Covington kids, uh, really trying to advance his, his, uh, his battles against the media and stuff and delegitimize them.
	He just, he hasn't done what he's needed to do and I think it's going to be a very difficult, uh, race for him in 2020.
	The only possible uh ray of hope he has is that the democrats are just getting so radicalized and they're getting radicalized in a way that uh that republicans did after obama and you know because you had obama you had the tea party and and eventually the trump movement i would say is in large measure a reaction to it well now in reaction to trump you're having very radical movements on the left
	And some of that was happening before Trump 2 with Bernie and so on.
	But, you know, if they're all pushing for universal health care, Medicare for all, for reparations, it seems like could be.
	I think I saw Kamala Harris and I think Elizabeth Warren have come out now for reparations for black slaves.
	And Cory Booker, of course, proposed that savings account that primarily non-white children will get.
	Oh yeah. $25,000 that will obviously start to I mean they're gonna compound interest built on. They're
	gonna go nuts. It's gonna be extremely anti-white whoever wins the nomination and so maybe Trump will be able
	to hang his head.
	The fascinating thing about all this is remember it's a coalition of fringes though and there's so little connective tissue holding together this seemingly monstrous entity that is a democratic party that's growing with the Rising tide of color, but there's so much hate and animosity between these competing groups Well the the thing that's holding them together at this point is hatred of Trump and that's why they have to keep promoting these hoaxes Because they it's the glue that holds them and going back as we say it by proxy white Trump supporters, right?
	It's it's a hatred of white America and their avatar in Donald Trump and that's what keeps them together who's as we've stated quite clearly in this podcast is governing a As a embarrassingly moderate, squishy Republican, probably to the left of Jeb Bush.
	On that note, we will conclude the news section of our podcast, but we do have a question from a listener.
	A lot of you have written into us saying you like the questions.
	So we have a question here from Cornelius.
	He says, how come all popular music these days is hip-hop?
	I never listened to that, even at 15 when most of my friends did.
	I used to think it was just a joke.
	Now I think it's not hyperbole.
	It's an insight into their soul.
	What happened to rock?
	Some people say that genre of music is dead.
	If true, why did it die?
	Great question.
	Go ahead, you take a stab at it.
	Well, I'll take a stab at it.
	I would say that good music is alive and well, but you have to go looking for it.
	It's not on the radio.
	I turn on the radio sometimes for classical music, sometimes I'll check in on NPR, see what's going on, but the other stations are just a disaster.
	You used to be able to find some solace in the classic rock stations, but now even those are playing like 90s grunge rock, I heard on the Classic Rock Station the other day that song about, uh, I'm a freak, you know, why do I live here?
	Is that Bush?
	Yeah, it's just all of that, like, suicidal emo type grunge stuff from the 90s.
	Which contaminated, yeah, you talk about Nirvana.
	You know, it's funny, I think today is the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's either suicide or his birth.
	And you think about just how terrible what that did in Nirvana to usher in that horrible... That was the beginning of the end of rock music was the 1990s grunge rock scene.
	It was like this weird self-hating music that kind of captured a certain pathos of the time.
	Uh, but, uh, now it's, I think music in large part is a top-down thing.
	Um, you think about, like, why do, why do, like, so many girls like Justin Bieber, even though, you know, back in the day he looked like he was, like, a girl, basically.
	He's, like, pre-pubescent and all this stuff.
	It's, like, they like him because he's up on the stage and because he's popular and because so many other people like him.
	And so if you put someone in front of other people, uh, women especially will be, uh, turned on to that.
	It's called the professor effect or something if people want to go look it up.
	But yeah, basically, I think that, you know, familiarity, if you've ever broken into a new genre of music, you found that as you become more and more familiar with it, you like it more and more.
	And I think that's true of pop music.
	It's just whatever's on is what people are going to get into.
	In good measure, unless they really have a good sense of themselves and go out searching for good music.
	And so now, yeah, if you like country music, the stuff on the radio might as well be on the rap station.
	It's a disaster.
	They're literally, like, rapping and doing hip-hop beats on the country music station.
	Like, you occasionally, like, they'll have interspersed, like, an older country song, but The thing is, you listen to older country, even stuff from the mid-90s, it's so alien to what is being promoted now from Nashville by the corporations that are dictating the tastes of the American ear and what we have to listen to.
	And I think that's the most important point to point out.
	Who is in charge and who is able to promote stuff constantly on these top 40 stations?
	Again, I've said this many times.
	If you gave us one day to be in charge of the news, people would look around like, what the heck is going on?
	I know.
	Or in charge of the radio.
	Exactly!
	Just give us one day in charge of the music on the radio.
	The means of the dissemination of whether it's pop culture, whether it's news, or whether it's music.
	This is one of the sad things about human nature and about people.
	People will pretty much do what they're told to do.
	They'll listen to what they're told to listen to.
	I haven't confirmed it myself, but apparently if you go to Scandinavia, you turn on the radio there, you know, you've got heavy metal stuff, which is a lot more like, depending on the genre of or sub-genre of heavy metal, can be a lot more like positive and life-affirming and, you know, talks about mythology and so on, and heroes and Epic stuff.
	Or electronic music, which is mostly inoffensive.
	And of course they have new epic classical stuff.
	Uh, so pop music apparently there is a little bit different.
	I have just heard that.
	Um, and I can imagine, I mean, if I, again, if I could control the radio and put some of the things that I listened to on there, I think that people would be into it and there is good stuff being produced.
	There's good country music being produced.
	Um, it's mostly out of Texas now, uh, and some out of the Midwest, but it's hardly any of it's coming out of Nashville anymore.
	Um, and, uh, there's good rock music.
	There's good metal.
	Especially in Europe.
	There's also just, you know, there's cool music if you're into, like, movie scores.
	Oh, phenomenal.
	I was going to actually bring that up.
	Yeah, there's a band called, like, Two Steps from Hell, which does a lot of movie scores, a lot of epic chamber music and choral stuff.
	So there's good stuff being produced, but you're just not going to hear it if you turn on the radio.
	Thankfully, though, I mean, I'm probably one of the last people even listening to the radio every now and then because I have such an old car.
	On all the new cars, everyone's playing music off their phones.
	Yeah, or are you serious?
	I mean, because when I drive, I listen to a book on tape.
	I just got done listening to 1453.
	I'm listening to the fantastic book Crimea right now, which I encourage everyone to read or listen to by Orlando Fiegs, which is just this horrifying book about how Russia wanted to push the Turks out and France and England would not unite.
	Austria wanted to because the Russians in the 1800s wanted to make Christendom whole again.
	And it's just so depressing.
	But no, I think going back to when you were talking about movie scores, I would highly recommend people, if you want to listen to something different that is really popular in Europe right now, and that's EDM, and that's the band M83.
	They did a tremendous score to an overlooked film called Oblivion with Tom Cruise.
	It's a sci-fi film, I want to say 2015.
	Just an absolutely beautiful score, and one of the great themes of that movie, Mr. Wolf, is the great poem.
	Do you know the poem about Horatio at the gate?
	Oh yeah, of course.
	Actually, Mr. Taylor and I were just reading that together on a plane the other day.
	How can a man die better than facing fearful odds for the ashes of his father and the temples of his gods?
	And that's the whole point of that movie and I thought that was a very subversive idea in our time period when we're taught conformity and how you should disassociate yourself with your roots.
	And I think that is, going back to Cornelius' question, One of the things, and one of the horrific things about rap, I mean, one of the websites that I follow on Twitter, Old Ro, I'm horrified to see.
	It's like, do college students only listen to rap now?
	Yeah, it was like that in a lot of ways when I was in college, too.
	I went to school from 2007 to 2011, and, you know, if you went to Fraternity Row and stuff, you'd hear a good mix of, like, rap music, and then, you know, You would hear good stuff from like the 70s and 80s, like classic, classic stuff, Jam Band, Journey, you know, Neil Diamond, this kind of stuff.
	But there was a lot of rap music and definitely the parties would be heavily focused on rap music and the dancing is, you know, the animalistic, gratuitous, bumping and grinding and all that.
	So, yeah, even in all white fraternity parties, that's rap music is there. But that actually goes to something,
	and we can close on this, but that goes to something else, which is like, even rap music
	has been deracinated.
	This was true a couple years ago, it probably still is, but apparently white people are the
	biggest consumers of rap music. Oh, wholeheartedly, without a doubt.
	Which, you've come a long way from the stuff that like Nas and Tupac and these guys who were
	talking about the streets and actual gang warfare and hard drugs and growing up hard and all this
	stuff. What Like authentic black inner city experience to something that's just, you know, it could be listened to by anyone and it is listened to by everyone.
	About, you know, butts and drugs and, you know, just lowest common denominator stuff.
	There's like, even rap now is not authentically I was at a friend's house when I think I was in 5th or 6th grade.
	guess, but it's just really animalistic. It's not, there's nothing really that
	rings very authentic to it.
	I was at a friend's house when I think I was in fifth or sixth grade. We were getting ready to go to baseball
	practice down in his basement, and he wanted me to listen to some band called Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
	The song was Sea at the Crossroads.
	And I was so repulsed by this.
	I actually told myself, I've got to leave.
	I cannot listen to this.
	And from that moment on, I guess it was the mid-90s, I just thought, this is the worst crap I've ever heard.
	And funny, in the late 1990s, In professional wrestling, there was a group called the West Texas Rednecks and the rapper Master P was brought in to be part of the promotion.
	And they were rapping and the crowd was booing them.
	And then this group, the West Texas Rednecks, I think it was with Mr. Perfect, the late Kurt Hennig, and I can't remember the other guy.
	They actually did a song called Rap is Crap.
	I hate rap.
	Rap is crap.
	And a lot of country music stations wanted to license it and play it because it was so popular.
	But at that point, WCW was owned by Ted Turner and Time Warner.
	They wouldn't license it and run with it.
	Probably because they were afraid of the connotations.
	Well, at this point, the country music stations couldn't even play it without attacking their own music, so... Alright, Mr. Kersey, well, that's, uh, that is it for our show.
	This was a long one that didn't feel that long!
	Well, we got into talking about rock music, it gets heated.
	It gets heated and the time runs away from us.
	Well, I'll tell you what, let's put it out there to our wonderful listeners.
	If you have any questions, shoot them over to sbpdl1 at gmail dot com.

	So for Henry Wolff, this has been Paul Kersey.
	Our podcast time is up.
