Radio Renaissance - Jared Taylor - John McCain Defended the Wrong America Aired: 2021-03-23 Duration: 06:46 === McCain's Legacy Debate (06:42) === [00:00:03] Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. [00:00:07] Senator John McCain died on Saturday, and the media are prostrate with grief. [00:00:12] But they haven't missed a chance to attack President Trump for being insufficiently reverential. [00:00:18] He didn't keep the flag over the White House at half-mast for long enough. [00:00:23] Trump balks at half-staff flag tradition for McCain. [00:00:27] Observers outraged, says The Wrap. [00:00:30] With a quote in the subtitle, calling the president a pathetic, thin-skinned, self-centered, low-class, petty coward. [00:00:40] White House flags return to full staff less than 48 hours after McCain's death, complained The Hill. [00:00:49] Mediaite explained that Tom Brokaw tears into Trump for his response to McCain's passing. [00:00:55] Ignoring his death is a disgrace. [00:00:59] Well, of course, Trump didn't ignore his death, so you begin to understand why he calls the media the enemy of the people. [00:01:08] And there was much crowing when the president cracked and brought the flag back down. [00:01:13] These attacks on President Trump help explain why the media are in such a frenzy of adulation for John McCain. [00:01:22] He was one of the first and fiercest and most persistent never-Trumper Republicans, and that alone would have made him their darling. [00:01:32] And just as important, even in his deathbed message, he mouthed the lines that now determine whether you are a good American or a bad American. [00:01:43] He said, We are citizens of the world's greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil. [00:01:52] And he went on to say this: [00:01:55] "We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence [00:02:04] Well, I'm sorry, Mr. McCain, but our country is already full of tribal rivalries. [00:02:13] It's only whites like you who talk about uniting under one flag. [00:02:19] I suppose you've already forgotten. [00:02:21] The desecration of your beloved flag in 2010, when your home state of Arizona passed an immigration control law known as SB 1070. [00:02:32] The tribe is already here, Mr. McCain, and they want their numbers to grow through immigration. [00:02:39] Don't forget your constituents who want to give Arizona back to Mexico, and the people who say, If you think I'm illegal because I'm a Mexican, learn the true history because I'm in my homeland. [00:02:53] That sounds a little like blood and soil to me. [00:02:56] And, of course, there is a tribe that sometimes considers itself more African than American. [00:03:04] Mr. McCain went on with his message. [00:03:06] We weaken our greatness when we hide behind walls rather than tear them down. [00:03:11] This is, of course, a clear dig at Donald Trump and ultimately at the very idea of a nation with borders. [00:03:20] Oddly, Mr. McCain sang a different tune when he was running for re-election to the Senate in 2010. [00:03:26] Here is one of his campaign videos. [00:03:31] Drug and human smuggling, home invasions, murder. [00:03:36] We're outmanned. [00:03:37] Of all the illegals in America, more than half come through Arizona. [00:03:41] Have we got the right plan? [00:03:42] Plan's perfect. [00:03:44] You bring troops, state, county, and local law enforcement together. [00:03:47] And complete the dang fins. [00:03:50] It'll work this time. [00:03:51] Senator, you're one of us. [00:03:56] I'm John McCain, and I approve this message. [00:04:00] But once he was back in office, he betrayed the voters and joined the so-called Gang of Eight. [00:04:06] To pass a Senate bill to amnesty an estimated 11 million illegals. [00:04:10] Here he is yucking it up with Senator Schumer after the amnesty bill passed, which luckily died in the House. [00:04:17] He never gave up the fight for illegal immigrants. [00:04:21] Practically on his deathbed, he was prompting headlines like McCain rips Trump's family separation policy as an affront to American decency. [00:04:31] But back to his farewell message. [00:04:34] We weaken our greatness when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they've always been. [00:04:43] Well, his ideas are certainly a great force for change. [00:04:48] His ideals of a nation without walls or borders, his ideals about the meaninglessness of blood or soil are changing this country so profoundly his ancestors wouldn't even recognize it. [00:05:01] When John McCain was first elected to Congress in 1982, Arizona was 75% white. [00:05:07] The next year, in 1983, he opposed making Martin Luther King's birthday a federal holiday. [00:05:13] He has, of course, spent the rest of his career apologizing for that. [00:05:18] And because he is now on what our rulers like to call the right side of history, he has been forgiven. [00:05:25] As far as I can tell, every one of the gushing obituaries from the New York Times on down has passed over this king business in respectful silence. [00:05:35] As for Arizona, whites are now down to about 57% of the population, and mostly they're old. [00:05:43] Hispanics are the green bars, and whites are blue. [00:05:47] Over on the left, there are already more Hispanics than whites in ages 0 to 9. But old people are overwhelmingly white. [00:05:55] Since 2012, there have been more whites dying in Arizona than whites being born. [00:06:01] And whites could become a minority 15 years sooner than in the entire country, that is to say even before 2030. [00:06:09] John McCain must have died happy. [00:06:13] Americans aren't hiding behind a wall because we don't have one to hide behind. [00:06:18] Instead, we are hiding from the truth about race and the consequences of turning a once-great majority white country into just another part of the third world. [00:06:29] That may not have been the America John McCain thought he was defending when he flew a fighter in Vietnam, but that is the America he helped create. [00:06:39] That makes him the sweetheart of the media, but he was no friend of the real American nation.
