=== Media Trust Waning (10:28) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:07]  The Internet is trying to make my videos impossible to find.
[00:00:11]  So if you like what you see, I hope you'll send this link to all of your friends.
[00:00:16]  This year is almost over, so I'd like to talk about prospects for the next year.
[00:00:22]  I'm optimistic.
[00:00:24]  We are making progress, and the loonies are on the ropes.
[00:00:28]  I have personal reasons to think this, but also I have hard data.
[00:00:33]  Let's start with the data.
[00:00:34]  As we know, the other side runs the media, and the media have tremendous power.
[00:00:40]  But that power is waning.
[00:00:43]  Just a few days ago, the Associated Press had a story called Cable News Lost Plenty of Viewers in 2021.
[00:00:52]  CNN lost 38% of its weekday primetime viewers compared to 2020.
[00:00:59]  Fox lost 34% and MSNBC lost 25%.
[00:01:04]  Broadcast news was down too.
[00:01:06]  The three big networks lost 12-14% of the viewers on their main news programs.
[00:01:14]  Newspapers suffered.
[00:01:15]  The Washington Post's website traffic was down 44% in November compared to the year before.
[00:01:22]  And the New York Times site was down 34%.
[00:01:25]  About 120 papers closed their doors in 2021.
[00:01:31]  There are explanations for this.
[00:01:33]  2020 was an election year and was also the year of Black Lives Mania, so in 2021, people were probably less hungry for news.
[00:01:43]  However, as traditional media slumped, dissident media grew.
[00:01:49]  Despite the tremendous obstacles search engines and social media put in our way, sites like Amran, UNS, V-Dare, CounterCurrents, and others did just fine.
[00:02:02]  Big media down, dissidents up.
[00:02:06]  This helps explain why.
[00:02:08]  These are results of Pew Research polling on trust in national news organizations over the last five years.
[00:02:16]  The gray line in the middle shows that trust by all adults dropped from 76% to 58%, but the red line, Republicans, went from 70% to 35%.
[00:02:28]  Democrats, not surprisingly, trust the media more, but they lost faith too.
[00:02:34]  When people lose faith in them, they look to us.
[00:02:39]  Gallup has been polling Americans for several decades on their trust in institutions.
[00:02:44]  Trust in TV news is at its lowest ever.
[00:02:48]  Only 6% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in it, and 10% have quite a lot, for a total of just 16%.
[00:02:57]  In 1993, 46% of Americans had a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in TV news.
[00:03:06]  A drop from 46% to 16% in 28 years is a catastrophic collapse.
[00:03:14]  Only 19% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in churches and organized religion.
[00:03:21]  19% is a record low.
[00:03:24]  The figure was 44% in 1975.
[00:03:28]  Americans despise Congress.
[00:03:31]  Only 5% of the country has a great deal of confidence in it, but Congress has had bad ratings for years.
[00:03:38]  It's even been as low as 3%.
[00:03:41]  And as far back as 1983, just 6% of Americans had a great deal of confidence in Congress.
[00:03:49]  Here is a graph of the number of white Americans who think the federal government does the right thing all or most of the time.
[00:03:58]  As you can see, back in the 1960s, 70-75% of whites trusted the feds.
[00:04:05]  Imagine trusting the federal government.
[00:04:08]  Trust went up.
[00:04:09]  Under Clinton, of all people.
[00:04:11]  And hit a peak at the time of the 9-11 attacks.
[00:04:15]  But it hit bottom under Obama.
[00:04:17]  And bounced up a bit for Trump.
[00:04:19]  The figure is now 19%.
[00:04:22]  I bet it will drop under Biden.
[00:04:27]  Americans are losing confidence in higher education.
[00:04:30]  These are the percentages of people who think the influence of colleges and universities on the country is good.
[00:04:36]  The top line, Democrats.
[00:04:39]  Don't change that much from 2010 to 2019, but look at the red line, Republicans.
[00:04:44]  That's a steep drop, from 58% to just one-third.
[00:04:49]  I bet that number has continued to fall.
[00:04:52]  Again, Americans who lose faith in national institutions are much more likely to come looking for us.
[00:05:00]  Trust in the police has held up better than you might think.
[00:05:03]  In 2021, 51% of Americans said they had a great deal or quite a lot of trust in the police.
[00:05:11]  In polling since 1993, 2004 was the year of the highest trust in the police, with a figure of 64%.
[00:05:20]  But the police have not lost trust nearly as much as TV news or universities or churches, despite the huge media campaign against them.
[00:05:32]  There are important race differences in trust in institutions.
[00:05:37]  Stop the video and look more closely if you like.
[00:05:40]  Blacks are twice as likely as whites to trust TV news and to trust Congress.
[00:05:46]  Whites are twice as likely as blacks to trust the police.
[00:05:51]  Hispanics often have more trust in American institutions than blacks or whites.
[00:05:56]  They trust Congress.
[00:05:58]  The criminal justice system, big tech, and public schools far more than anyone else.
[00:06:04]  I guess it's all relative compared to where they come from.
[00:06:08]  Here are historical trends for what blacks and whites think about black-white relations.
[00:06:15]  These are the percentages who think relations are very or somewhat good.
[00:06:20]  Whites are the blue line at the top and blacks are the green line.
[00:06:25]  For most of the last 20 years, a majority of both races thought relations were good.
[00:06:31]  Not anymore.
[00:06:32]  This year, only 43% of whites and 33% of blacks think black-white relations are good.
[00:06:40]  Solid majorities of both races think relations are bad.
[00:06:45]  Here are the percentages of blacks and whites who think it's possible to work out a solution to the black-white race problem.
[00:06:54]  The trend was up from 1996 to 2008, but it's been level ever since.
[00:07:00]  This year, 60% of whites and 40% of blacks think there will eventually be a solution.
[00:07:07]  But that means the rest don't.
[00:07:09]  60% of blacks and 40% of whites think either there's no solution to the race problem, or they're just not sure.
[00:07:18]  That's a lot of people who should be open to rethinking the whole idea of living together.
[00:07:24]  With all this plummeting confidence in government, higher education, the media, deteriorating race relations, is it any surprise our support is growing?
[00:07:36]  And is it any surprise that Americans want a new country?
[00:07:41]  Here's a headline.
[00:07:42]  Shocking poll finds many Americans now want to secede from the United States.
[00:07:49]  Are you shocked?
[00:07:50]  I'm delighted.
[00:07:52]  In the whole country, 37% of Americans say they would be willing to secede.
[00:07:58]  The figure is highest in the South, 44%, and 66% of Southern Republicans want to get out.
[00:08:07]  On the West Coast, 47% of Democrats want to secede.
[00:08:13]  Senator Ted Cruz of Texas says he's not ready to leave the union yet.
[00:08:18]  But if Democrats, in his words, fundamentally destroy the country, Texas might have to go out on its own.
[00:08:26]  And what's this?
[00:08:27]  At the very end of the year, one of the topics trending on Twitter is national divorce.
[00:08:34]  I've been saying it for years.
[00:08:36]  We have irreconcilable differences.
[00:08:39]  Some people think we've seen the worst of the craziness.
[00:08:42]  On December 13th, the American Conservative published an article called, Is Wokeness Almost Over?
[00:08:50]  The author, Scott McConnell, pointed to the rising fight against critical race theory and the defeat of defund the police measures even in heavily Democrat cities.
[00:09:02]  Well, I don't think wokeness is almost over.
[00:09:05]  I don't see official anti-white dogma going away soon.
[00:09:10]  But there is a lot more resistance to it.
[00:09:13]  The foolishness and the viciousness could go on for years while opposition builds and then bursts forth in ways we can't even anticipate.
[00:09:23]  But to me, the most encouraging sign is that wide-away quiet people are organizing more and better.
[00:09:31]  There are more websites, video channels, publishers, and activist groups than ever.
[00:09:37]  Groups are now much better at maintaining security, and they are not courting media attention that does no good anyway.
[00:09:45]  They are just quietly getting stronger.
[00:09:49]  Another wonderful development is something the print version of American Renaissance wrote a cover story about 17 years ago, building white communities.
[00:10:00]  Just this month, I was invited to speak at the Christmas party of a thriving community of several hundred people.
[00:10:07]  They are very family-oriented, they get together often, and they help each other in every way.
[00:10:14]  There are several communities like that, and I'm sure there will be more.

=== Indestructible Faith in Europe (01:17) ===

[00:10:19]  These could be the nuclei of great things.
[00:10:23]  So, I hope you share my optimism.
[00:10:26]  The other side has the institutions and the power, but we have the truth.
[00:10:32]  The other side is floundering.
[00:10:34]  We are small, but we are thriving.
[00:10:38]  Also, we are part of what I believe is the greatest struggle our people have ever faced.
[00:10:44]  It is in great struggles that men and women achieve greatness.
[00:10:49]  I will end with a quotation from a book by the European patriot Dominic Venner.
[00:10:56]  Which has just been translated into English.
[00:11:00]  Whatever you do, your priority must be to cultivate within yourself every day like an augury of good fortune, an indestructible faith in the permanence of the European tradition.
[00:11:13]  We know that individually we are mortal, but that the spirit of our spirit is imperishable.
[00:11:21]  When will the Great Awakening occur?
[00:11:24]  I do not know.
[00:11:25]  But of this awakening, I have no doubt.
[00:11:29]  So, I wish you every success in all your ventures in the year to come.
