You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
What a great show tonight, folks.
We're talking about a lot of issues.
We are talking with a lot of great men, or at least three great men.
I guess that's a lot for one broadcast.
Kevin McDonald at the top of the second hour, followed by Brad Griffin, and now Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, who is a Puerto Rican-born Canadian historical sociologist and was until, according to his Wikipedia article, until 2019, the professor at the University of New Brunswick.
This is a gentleman and a scholar who I have an immense amount of respect for.
Dr. Duchesne, it is great to talk to you again.
How are you doing tonight?
I'm doing well, James, and I'm happy to be here in your show.
Well, it's great to talk to you again.
People say again, this is actually your debut appearance on TPC.
I am ashamed and embarrassed to admit.
However, back a few years ago, you and I and Dr. McDonald, the aforementioned Dr. McDonald, spoke on a short-lived live stream called TOQ Live.
This was something that the late, great Bill Regnery commissioned, Bill Regnery of the Regnery Publishing Family, Scion of that dynasty.
Regnery Press.
Well, he was great.
Bill was one of a kind, and he commissioned that project.
And it lasted.
Conservative money.
It lasted until the ADL shut it down.
But before that happened, Dr. Duchesne was on with Kevin and I, and that was a wonderful conversation.
So we are excited to continue it tonight.
Now, you have voiced criticisms of political correctness, multiculturalism, and immigration.
You have described it as a relentless occupation of the West by hordes of Muslims and Africans.
And you state that only out of the coming chaos and violence will strong men rise to resurrect the West.
That is strong T indeed from a tenured university professor as you were when you made these comments.
This is something that I respect and admire you for, Dr. Duchesne, so much like our friend Kevin.
You were in you were there in the academic ecosystem and you never backed down.
What was that whole experience like there at the University of New Brunswick?
Yes, I mean the words that you just quoted came from an article that I wrote while I was still a tenured professor.
I think it was 2017, sometime around then, that I wrote those words and I was writing continuous articles on my blog.
And yes, I mean, I used to keep quiet within my university in the sense that I didn't argue within the university, but I was outside it.
I was writing and doing all kinds of interviews and things like that.
And I wrote a book also about Canada that is titled Canada in Decay, Immigration, Diversity, and the Ethnocide of Euro-Canadians, which became a bestseller here in Canada.
And that best-selling status lasted for about three years.
It was published in 2017.
So it created a lot of controversy and eventually an academic mob of about 100 professors came after me and I was forced to take early retirement in 2019.
I mean, it was just impossible for me to exist.
But yeah, I mean, I just didn't want to back down.
It's just my mind kind of goes where I think the truth is and what needs to be said.
And that's why I felt I was hired for.
I mean, that's our duty as academics is to say what we think and look at the evidence.
And I felt that immigration and the whole diversity doctrine was a lie and that it needed to be exposed.
And eventually it led to this academic mobbing that I experienced in 2019.
Yes, so let's go back a little bit before that, because again, anyone who has to star in their local production of The Crucible is someone who we really respect.
You like that one, Gabe.
So in 2015, you made statements to the Toronto Star newspaper supporting the creation of what was a fad at the time, short-lived as it was, white student unions on Toronto campuses and criticizing, quote, what he called a double standard in the media and academia against white and European pride.
Now, fast forward to 2019, your last year as a professor, the university, this is interesting to me, especially with what's going on in the news right now.
The University of New Brunswick announced that it would further review complaints that related to Duchesne's public comments and views on race after it was reported that he had written blog posts alleging that immigration was a part of conspiracy to advance white genocide, so-called their words, not mine.
But a group of over 100 of your colleagues at the University of New Brunswick signed an open letter of complaint stating that your comments and teachings had no merit, no merit, and qualified as hate speech that should not be protected by university policies of academic freedom.
Now, you see here at Harvard University right now, Dr. Deshane, that they are putting forth these statements that all ideas should be put forth and they should be combated, they should be accepted or whatever.
But there should be rigorous debate about these things, but not at all, not even for a moment if it defies the well, and that, you know, they're all in favor, as I often say, they love diversity, but they hate and they will not stand for even for a moment, not even a second for the diversity of opinion and of thought.
So your time at the University of New Brunswick came to an end at 2019, but you never backed down.
You held the line all the way through.
That is admirable.
Yes, I mean, I started really questioning the whole politically correct climate in universities across Canada.
I think it was around 2012 that I did it in a more vocal way.
That is, I started realizing around then that immigration was the crucial issue of our times.
I published my book, The Uniqueness of Western Civilization, in 2011.
And that book was already very politically incorrect.
It was an attempt to show that Western civilization had accomplished far more than the other civilizations combined and to argue against a world multicultural approach to history that I felt had taken over academia,
which aimed to simply either equate the West with other civilizations, to argue that it was just one among others, or actually to denigrate it, to say that the West rose on the backs of blacks and through the genocide of Merindians and so on.
So I challenged that whole view in my book, Uniqueness.
But at that time when I wrote that book, I wasn't yet realizing that race was a factor that you could not ignore.
And the reason for that, of course, is that the establishment in a very conscious way understood that immigration entailed the it entailed the creation of a whole new society in which a predominant white population would have to give in,
would have to pull back and allow continuous numbers of other people, other races and cultures to be part of their societies.
And the West was articulating the theory of multiculturalism to argue that multiculturalism was consistent with liberalism, with freedom and democracy, that in fact, to insist that you could not have immigration or to insist that immigration should only be people from a Christian European background, that that was a form of supremacy and that it was inconsistent with liberalism.
That was the aim of the theory of multiculturalism.
And I started realizing that this had to be challenged.
And so after I wrote that book in 2011, The Uniqueness of Western Civilization, I began to concentrate on the question of race.
And things after that started getting more, you know, dangerous for me in the academic world.
But yeah, I persisted and I created a blog in 2014, the Council of European Canadians, to argue for Canadian identity, to argue that you could not just bring people and emphasize multiculturalism and at the same time pretend that Canada will remain the Canada that has been in existence for many, many decades.
So, yeah, eventually, I mean, the whole thing accumulated and I was forced to take early retirement in 2019.
Hold on right there, my friend.

Dr. Ricardo Duchesne,
another hero of ours here, one of the few who had something to risk and still did the right thing.
It's very easy when you have nothing to lose to do what you want to do.
But when you have tenure, when you have an incredible position, when you have respect, but you don't back down, that does mean more.
It does mean more.
And these are the people that become heroes who inspire everyone else.
And so Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, like Kevin McDonald, has paid a price.
I just want to ask you one more question about this, and then we're going to pivot to the book, Dr. Duchesne.
But, you know, did you ever, I guess to ask the question is to answer it.
I was going to ask, did you ever think twice about your positions?
But I would rather ask this question.
What made you dig your heels in and never relent, never apologize?
Well, I mean, I realized around 2012, 13 that I was starting to take big risks.
And I used to get up in the middle of the night.
I mean, I had a hard time sleeping because I knew that things were going to get very risky.
That the moment you start talking about race and why identity in Canada, for one, it's very dangerous politically.
And I was in academia.
I was right in the middle of where all these crazy ideas originate from.
And there was one day, it was probably 2013.
I was walking very early on campus and it just hit me and it made me realize I'm right in the middle of the citadel of everything that I now reject and oppose.
And I knew I'm not going to, I'm just going to go on with what I'm thinking and I'm going to express it.
You know some, you know my wife says, maybe i'm autistic, stuff like that.
Yeah, so she she, you know, she kind of was wondering why would I keep persisting and insisting?
But um, if I try to control myself, but I mean, it lasted for a few days and it would even get worse, because I I, I couldn't understand the whole argument that people were making.
I couldn't understand why conservatives, because I wrote to many of them in Canada and I wrote in a polite way as an academic.
I said, look uh, why is it that we are following this policy of continuous immigration at a very high level?
And uh, we are denigrating the history of past Canadians?
Um, and I, i'm an immigrant myself, but I don't understand how you can tolerate this.
That they're they're, you know, they're putting down your ancestors, those are your people and uh, to me it's a question of pride and honor and just, you just have, I just couldn't give in to that uh, because it means you, you it is yeah they're, they're winning over you and they're lying to you.
And, and it was hard for me to give in to that, that's your answer, ladies and gentlemen, and if everyone could follow that example, we would have never been put, pushed to the precipice that we are now, Western civilization would not be in this predicament.
Now you, your first book, which was published in 2011, is the uniqueness of Western civilization which, you know takes uh, I think uh, it puts at odds the ideas that all cultures are equally significant, I mean, and for obvious reasons which, of course, but this thinking devalues Western civilization.
This actually received a at least a somewhat balanced reception.
You had a lot of people that were praising this book, your first book in 2011.
I would like to ask you to just, maybe in a minute um, talk about this book, and then we're going to go to your latest title, which is hot off the press, brand new, just released at Antelope HILL Publishing, Greatness AND RUIN.
We'll talk about that, but first talk about your first book from 2011.
Yes uh, the uniqueness of Western civilization.
Uh, it took me a long time to write because, like most academics, I was educated um, in a Lestis environment.
I adopted Lestis ideas and my dissertation, which I completed in 1995, and I did publish some articles here and there in typical leftist journals and so on.
But by the late 1990s I knew there was something going on in my mind.
I wasn't identifying with these ideas anymore uh, but I didn't know where to go.
I mean, the internet was just growing at that time and I I have never been a person that was really into the internet uh, that much.
So I knew that the whole paradigm that dominated our universities was wrong, but I didn't know about an alternative because I had never really been educated in that alternative way of thinking.
So I had to really re-educate myself as I began to question these ideas.
And I started rereading a lot.
And so my book took me a total of 10 years to put together and to write.
It's a long book, over 400 pages.
And, you know, it's a complicated book.
I'm not going to explain it right now quickly, but by and large, basically, it's an attempt to show that there was something special about Western civilization and that the academic world is making a big mistake when it just criticizes it for the slave trade and various other crimes that they associate with the West.
And I wanted to argue that the West was not just that it generated the modern industrial scientific world, but it was really the most creative civilization in all the endeavors of human life in art, painting, architecture, philosophy, and so on.
So that really, in a sense, was one of the aims of that book, and also to try and understand why this was the case.
What were the background conditions that made the West so creative?
So yeah, so that's what that book was about.
Dr. Duquesne, what was your final analysis as to what made European civilization and culture so unique?
What did it have anything to do with the Roman antecedents or the Grecian antecedents or something indigenous to the people themselves?
Well, that's a question that I pursue again in my last book, Greatness and Ruin, that I guess we're going to talk about soon.
Yes, we're about to get into that.
Yes, indeed.
In uniqueness, I went back to the Indo-Europeans and to their what I call the aristocratic culture.
And by that, I meant that it was a culture in which the men at the top that were had a status of being free, they were unwilling to subordinate themselves to any ruler.
So it was not a despotic political order, but it was an aristocratic order in the sense that the ruler was equal among the aristocrats.
He was one among the other aristocrats and they understood that there was a sense of freedom and equality and an ability to speak out.
So I get, you know, it's a long chapter on the Europeans, the fact that they were the first to domesticate horses and to ride them, to learn to ride them and to develop chariots and wheel vehicles.
And they had a daily diet of meat and dairy products that made them stronger, slightly taller than the other people, and they really stormed through the world.
And this is how the Indo-European languages expanded.
I mean, all the languages you see in Europe, the English language, Spanish, the French, German, and so on, have in European roots.
They're in European languages.
So that was something I was trying to understand, that dynamism.
And another thing was that I wanted to demonstrate that the multicultural world history, which has taken over academia and right now dominates the academic world, was wrong.
That the only competitor is China to the West.
And China really didn't achieve more than the West.
For a time, it was ahead in certain areas, particularly agriculture, because of rice farming, which is inherently a very productive type of farming.
But by and large, it really, in the intellectual sphere, it was always, in my view, behind the West.
So these and other subjects were the things that I was talking about in uniqueness.
Ladies and gentlemen, when we come back, we are going to transition exclusively to Dr. Duchesne's newest book, what is described as his magnum opus, available now and exclusively at antelopehillpublishing.com.

It is common for politicians, major media outlets, and nonprofits to hype white on black murders aggressively, or even claim that blacks are living in fear of white people.

Hard to believe, but that's what was done.
And some people still want to do that.
This is why National Conservative launched the Interracial Homicide Tracking Project.
We have now documented well over 2,000 confirmed interracial homicides since January 2023 and created the most comprehensive overview of these killings anyone has ever made.
We plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government crime stats.
Rather than engaging in hyperbole and vitriolic rhetoric like everyone else, we are simply creating a massive sample size of empirical evidence so people can form rational and informed opinions about a sensitive and politically charged issue.

All right, folks.
Having established the background, the credentials of Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, our featured guest this evening's third hour, let's go now to not a book he wrote in 2021, but what is being described as his magnum opus, Greatness and Ruin, available right now at Antelope HillPublishing.com.
Self-reflection and universalism within Western civilization.
This is a part of the back text of this book.
Of all the noteworthy advances and accomplishments in every area of human endeavor, the overwhelming majority have come from one part of the world, Europe, and its new world offshoots, collectively referred to as the West.
This troublesome fact may be downplayed or deconstructed by the politically correct establishment, but it cannot be credibly denied.
The question then is why that question is to you, the author, Dr. Ricardo Duchesne.
Why?
Why the West accomplished so much?
Well, that's a very difficult question.
And what I'm going to do, because I don't want to really get into it right away, but instead, I want to give potential buyers of the book a sense that even if they don't want to dwell into this question,
because it may be complicated, that there is a lot in the book, as you just said, even in that editorial pass you read in the back cover.
One of the things that the book tries to establish is that the West did accomplish a lot more than other civilizations.
And I don't go over every accomplishment.
I concentrate on certain accomplishments, but I do generally mention overall the many accomplishments of the West.
But the ones that I dedicate sections to are things like classical music, architecture, even furniture design, the fact that Europeans are responsible for creating all the disciplines that we know and are taught in our universities.
They invented universities and they invented all the disciplines like geography, archaeology, biology, botany, astronomy, physics, you name it.
So I examine some of those disciplines and try to demonstrate that they did indeed originate and develop these disciplines.
I concentrate on chemistry, cartography, geography, and a few others.
And then also painting, architecture, and classical music, and even children's literature.
So readers, potential readers, can read these sections just to get a sense of what it is that European peoples, white people accomplish, and they can read them and understand them without having to grasp or read the entirety of the book.
You can sometimes jump into some sections and it will make sense to read them on their own.
So, and one of the reasons why I concentrate on things that may seem innocuous or not really that important, like furniture design, I argue that the types of chairs, tables,
all kinds of furnitures that were originated and really developed in many different forms and varieties by Europeans were unique to them and cannot be found in other civilizations which remain more stable and continuous.
So One of the things I want to show is that the West is not just, this is a common thing.
People say, oh, it's just about modern industry and science and power and military strengths and so on.
So I don't know it goes way beyond that.
It's also in literature, even in children's literature.
It all originated from the Western world.
And furniture and architecture, you see a greater variety there and in painting as well.
So this is something I want to emphasize because nowadays people say, well, look, China may eventually overtake the West or the United States.
It has certainly become a more powerful industrial nation than Europe at this point.
So they say, well, you know, okay, so the West achieved a lot in industry and science, but now it's been left behind.
So one of the things I want to show is that, well, it will never be left behind in terms of its legacy in art, painting, music.
You can find that Chinese people can play classical music, but they haven't yet composed or produced any great composers.
The same thing with painting.
They may imitate or replicate some great painters on the West, but that's not the same thing.
So these are permanent legacies that are there and that people should know something about because one of the things that is happening and will happen with diversion and immigration, and if whites become marginalized and a small minority, this stuff is going to be erased.
Or they're going to lie about it.
They're going to claim that everybody else was participating in it.
They're already doing that.
In uniqueness, in my book, Uniqueness, one of the things I did was to show that world multicultural history is an attempt to claim that many multiple civilizations were co-participants in whatever it is that we associate or used to be associated with Western creativity.
And I challenge that argument.
And in this book, also, I do argue that with increasing diversity, if the people who created these things don't protect what it is that their ancestors, nobody is going to.
They're going to walk all over it.
And since the very idea of diversity is based on the premise that the past or retaining white majorities is something unacceptable and it's a form of supremacy,
well, people already are reacting against what it is that that past created about their accomplishments and are saying, well, you know, they didn't do that or everybody was a participant or it's just a lie or it's not important.
So one of the things that potential buyers may want to think about when they look at this book is that it is an attempt to tell Western people that they better take their past seriously.
They better take their accomplishments of their ancestors seriously because it will be erased.
It will be walked all over and denied.
And already in academia, I got into trouble.
I mean, among other reasons for saying this, you're not supposed to say in Canada, in Canadian universities, you're not supposed to talk about Western civilization barely.
Western civilization used to be a norm.
It used to be taught in all colleges.
In the majority of colleges across the United States and the Western world, you would have as a requirement the teaching of Western civilization.
That was eliminated by 2011.
Very few colleges were doing this.
So I would emphasize this about this book, Greatness and Green.
So, okay, so what is the next question then?
Well, let me ask you this.
What real innovations have the Chinese come up with that are not derivative of Western ideas, technologically or otherwise?
Well, they invented paper.
They invented sophisticated water clocks, not mechanical, but water clocks.
They had simple compass for navigation, the compass.
They had a quasi-printing press, but it was not a mechanical printing press.
It is very difficult, impossible to create a printing press with all the different cultures.
Yeah, characters of the Chinese language.
And they had all their agricultural technologies.
In my view, the Chinese were the most advanced in the realm of agriculture, in the realm of rice farming.
This is why they were able to support a very large population.
Rice farming, by its very nature, is very provocative.
A small piece of land would generate a very high output if you apply a lot of labor to it and you can keep applying a lot of labor to it and generate increases in output.
Hold on right there.

This, if you've not already been sold on the book, and surely by now you have, but if not, we'll read this to give you a little more incentive.
In greatness and ruin, Maverick scholar Ricardo Duchesne sets out to answer this question, dispelling mainstream academia's counter arguments along the way.
Demonstrating an extraordinary breadth of scholarship addressing subjects from music to mathematics, philosophy to furniture design, Duchesne establishes that while other peoples have had their share of breakthrough advances at occasions in their history, the West was the only civilization to produce continuous advancements building upon each other throughout its entire history.
He constructs a convincing case that the particular Western cultural trait of individualism led to the development of a unique sense of selfhood, producing a culture wherein excellence and ethics are valued more than kinship ties, allowing for a blossoming of creativity and experimentation unparalleled in any other society.
The progress has made the West wealthy, industrious, and culturally dominant on a global scale, but also autonomized, culturally incoherent, nihilistic, hostile towards its own history, and willing to disrupt its ethnic and racial demographics for short-term economic gain.
In short, it has led to our greatness and our ruin, hence the title.
Duchesne argues that the West can retreat from this precipice, tempering the self-destructive liberal tendency of individualism through historical self-consciousness and a worldview incorporating community and cohesion while allowing individual creativity to flourish again toward more pro-social ends.
Dr. Duchesne, how do we thread that needle and take the best of everything that has made us a unique people and tie it together in a way that is, as this mentions, coherent once more?
And also, how can we prevent theft of intellectual property?
If everything they're doing except from antiquity is derivative of what we've done, it would seem that intellectual property theft is the key of their success.
All right, take it away, Dr. Duchesne.
Yes, okay.
So to go back first to the question, why?
Why it is that the West accomplished far more?
There have been many answers, and the answer that I'm offering is one that has not been offered by anyone before.
And it may sound, as I stated here in a very blunt way, it may sound crazy, but this is what it comes down to.
It is my view that white people were the only ones to become conscious of their consciousness and to realize that in order to generate knowledge and to generate values by which they should live and also conceptions of what constitutes beauty and so on,
they have to rely upon their own thinking.
And this requires that they discover the mind, that they discover that consciousness relies within human beings.
Now, this may seem obvious to us now, because after hundreds and hundreds of years, it has spread to our everyday common lives.
But it was not obvious in the past.
And you can see it today among primitive tribes, if you watch them in documentaries and so on.
But in the past, people were overwhelmed by the world, the world of mysterious forces, the instincts within you.
We human beings have all kinds of powerful drives within us.
It's very hard to distinguish within yourself what it is that belongs to your consciousness, to your thinking, and what flows from your body and your passions and your instincts.
And so, and also from the world of customs and traditions and kinship networks.
Many of the norms by which people live were based on kinship networks, extended families, and what were the rules and ways to act and behave and to marry and to raise children and so on.
And one of the things that whites did was to escape from that and to begin to say that we have this capacity to reason and we should rely upon it.
And that requires an act of introspection.
That is, you look into yourself and become aware of your thinking processes.
And so what I argue is that the origins of mathematics, of philosophies ultimately come to that, to that awareness of one thinking capacities and the ability to generate your thoughts by being conscious of that ability to generate thoughts and relying upon your own thinking rather than upon external mandates, traditions, and customs.
Now, this in itself, jumping to all kinds of arguments here, but we don't have much time, but this in itself, this way of being that whites developed has become,
it was the source of their greatness, the source of their creativity, but it has become the source of their weakness because whites began to think that they can come up with universal values by which all human beings can live on the basis of reason.
And this is where liberalism is rooted.
This is where all these universal moralities of quality, of human rights are rooted in this.
Again, it's a complicated argument.
There are many steps to make it clear.
and I don't want to overburden people in such a short time, but this is something that the book addresses.
And it wants to make whites aware that in some ways it is tragic because the very source of their greatness of European peoples is now the source of their weakness.
And they're going to have to become aware of this and find a way out of it.
And one of the ways is simply to recognize that you cannot escape completely your ethnic and traditional backgrounds.
You have to be rooted somewhere.
Your mind cannot be allowed to somehow rise above it all and be the generator of all the bodies of your society by yourself alone in abstraction.
Just want to say this very quickly, folks.
If you have not been sold yet on the need to go to antelopehillpublishing.com and get the book from our guest for the full third hour tonight, Dr. Ricardo Duchesne.
Greatness and Ruin is the title.
Analope Hill writes in its own right that they are proud to present Ricardo Duchesne's magnum opus, Greatness and Ruin, as an essential read for anyone fascinated by the historical triumphs of European civilization, the reasons for its degeneration and what it will take to rise again.
But I always like to let our enemies speak for us because they can sell our merit in some time, in some cases, even more than our friends.
I see here, I see here a little piece that reads, in 2025, Duchesne released a new book, Greatness and Ruin, Self-Reflection and Universalism Within European Civilization.
It was published by Analope Hill Publishing, which specializes in translations of historical writings by Nazis, fascist, ultra-nationalist, white nationalist, and neo-fascist.
To be a fascist and a neo-fascist at once is really incredible.
And so, listen, if the left is getting that worked up about this book that they've already added it to Dr. Duchesne's official bio, it's all already on the band and centered.
Well, you probably can't get it in Canada, Dr. Duchesne.
AntelopehillPublishing.com.
That is new to your Wikipedia page as of tonight.
I mean, that could be in real time since we started this show.
I don't know.
Yes, indeed.
But final word to you.
Yeah, no, I know.
I mean, there are people that actually follow me every step.
And anything I do, they go to Wikipedia and they add it.
And the goal is to try and, I mean, in reality, the Wikipedia doesn't look terrible.
There have been some people that have, because the book uniqueness, I wasn't into race then.
And so it did get a lot of reviews in the mainstream academic world.
And the reviews were pretty good.
And in fact, there were extended reviews.
There was one that was, well, this was in the dissident ride, but it was 60 pages long.
But yeah, I mean, these are guys that are, they follow me and whatever thing I do.
You should call it Wikipedia rather than Wikipedia.
Well, I mean, there's good reason for that because I tell you, there is good reason why they do.
And they respond to everything you do or react hysterically to everything you do because you're a man who has set an example for the rest of us to follow.
And when somebody does that, if they can't make them a pariah, it encourages others to take similarly bold stands.
And thank you, Dr. Deshane, for your work, your career, your example.
