Why Jared Taylor Says Race Matters — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:11Hello everyone. Welcome to ZPR, Zano
- 0:14[music] Project Rethink, and I'm Frank
- 0:16Zano.
- 0:17Um I'm in the studio with a very, very
- 0:19interesting personality. Someone
- 0:23people have asked me to bring into the
- 0:25studio since I made that reaction to his
- 0:29video, The Dispossession of White
- 0:31America. Now, I think some of you know
- 0:33who I'm talking about. Uh we've had a
- 0:35long conversation over the phone email
- 0:37before he arrived in Connecticut
- 0:39yesterday.
- 0:40Uh it's really a pleasure to have a
- 0:42pleasure to have him here with me.
- 0:44And uh
- 0:46the name is Jared Taylor.
- 0:48When you go on the internet
- 0:51and you don't go to his page or read his
- 0:53book,
- 0:54then of course, Jared Taylor is known as
- 0:57a power white supremacist,
- 1:00a nationalist,
- 1:02a separatist,
- 1:04a racist.
- 1:06Well, he's in the studio to say which of
- 1:08this one really befits him.
- 1:11Jared, welcome to ZPR.
- 1:14>> Well, thank you so much for inviting me.
- 1:15It's a pleasure to be here.
- 1:17>> Correct. I told one of my friends you
- 1:18were coming and said, "You serious?"
- 1:21Because of course, he read about you on
- 1:23the internet.
- 1:25Um
- 1:27and they have names depending on what
- 1:30what they heard about you or how they
- 1:32came across you. I don't know any of
- 1:34those yet.
- 1:35And so today, uh the two types of
- 1:37conversations we have on ZPR is either
- 1:39one,
- 1:40people come on to debate a subject,
- 1:42something I said. And so that will
- 1:44become like a debate. Today is not a
- 1:45debate. Today, I'm
- 1:48um making the public hear from, as they
- 1:51say, the horse's own mouth.
- 1:53>> [laughter]
- 1:54>> Now, I've taken a look at read of your
- 1:55books. I think um when I started talking
- 1:58to you, I've read three already.
- 1:59>> Well, good
- 2:00>> I have with me The White Identity.
- 2:02>> Yes.
- 2:03>> Racial Consciousness in the 21st Century
- 2:05by Jared Taylor.
- 2:07You also are the author of Paved with
- 2:09Good Intentions. That I think is a very,
- 2:11very popular book.
- 2:13>> Well, it's my first book about race. Oh,
- 2:15I've written three. Yes. I've written
- 2:17three books about race.
- 2:19The one after this one is called If We
- 2:21Do Nothing.
- 2:22>> That's correct.
- 2:22>> But good for you for actually having
- 2:24found out what I say rather than reading
- 2:27what my enemies say about what I say.
- 2:30>> Yeah.
- 2:30>> That puts you apart right there from all
- 2:33the rest.
- 2:34>> Well, let me tell you this. Let me tell
- 2:35you something. When I arrived in this
- 2:37country, of course, I came here to
- 2:39college, you know, journalism, and my
- 2:41academic advisor would pull me aside
- 2:43because he knew I came from Africa and I
- 2:46was a big mouth on campus. So, he would
- 2:48pull me aside. I'm very, very grateful.
- 2:50He I mean, he taught me a lot and he
- 2:51would say, "Frank, there is uh
- 2:54uh freedom of speech in America, but
- 2:56there are two types of freedom of
- 2:57speech. The other one, nobody want to
- 3:00get near to it." And I would say, "What
- 3:02is it?" And he said, "The first one is
- 3:04very, very common. You can take a
- 3:05placard and stand in the street corner
- 3:07any day of the week and scream
- 3:09profanities into the air with the
- 3:11president's name all you want. That one
- 3:13is for the lazy people and it's easy.
- 3:15The other freedom of speech, the
- 3:17difficult one, is you sitting across
- 3:19somebody
- 3:21whom you disagree with
- 3:23or has polar opposite views
- 3:25on anything. Can do with race, color,
- 3:28anything. And yet be able to make room
- 3:30for him to share his views no matter how
- 3:32unpleasant and uncomfortable and yet
- 3:34respect it
- 3:36and for him to allow you. Now, that, he
- 3:38said to me,
- 3:39"my country, my people are running away
- 3:41from that one."
- 3:43>> He's absolutely right about that.
- 3:45Americans love to brag about their First
- 3:48Amendment and how they believe in
- 3:49freedom of speech. Very, very few
- 3:53Americans really believe in complete
- 3:55freedom of speech, especially and
- 3:57particularly for those with whom they
- 3:59disagree.
- 4:00There is terrible hypocrisy about this.
- 4:03And someone like me.
- 4:05And you mentioned what people call me.
- 4:08If you look me up on the internet, that
- 4:10I believe the very first sentence of my
- 4:12Wikipedia biography says, "Jared Taylor
- 4:15is a white supremacist."
- 4:17>> Yes.
- 4:17>> That's it.
- 4:19Full stop. Yeah. What does that word
- 4:21even mean?
- 4:22Now,
- 4:23if someone believes that I am a white
- 4:26supremacist, you will find that the vast
- 4:29majority of Americans, certainly people
- 4:31on college campuses, would say, "Someone
- 4:33who is a white supremacist should not be
- 4:35allowed to speak on a college campus or
- 4:38even in public." And I can't tell you
- 4:41how many platforms I've been removed
- 4:44from because people don't like what I
- 4:46say.
- 4:47YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
- 4:52I have an organization. We have been
- 4:54prevented from using all of the usual
- 4:58email programs like Constant Contact or
- 5:01all of that stuff. In fact, my
- 5:03organization has even been kicked out of
- 5:05half a dozen banks because people don't
- 5:08like what I say. The idea that we really
- 5:11respect dissidents, that you have the
- 5:13right to say whatever you like, and I
- 5:15will defend your right to the death to
- 5:17say so. This is all hypocritical
- 5:20baloney.
- 5:21But anyway, uh
- 5:22>> So, Jared, what is it you say
- 5:25>> Ah, good question. Well,
- 5:26>> that have people remove you from banks
- 5:29and all these platforms. So,
- 5:31I read the first part. Um
- 5:34and it was interesting. I'll come to
- 5:35that later. But what is it
- 5:38that you say that have you removed from
- 5:40banks and all this?
- 5:41>> Well, of course, you'd have to ask them
- 5:43because I can't read their minds. But
- 5:46rather than calling myself a white
- 5:49supremacist, which to me is a historical
- 5:51term, there were people in the past who
- 5:54were white supremacists. I have never
- 5:56met someone that I would call a white
- 5:58supremacist. That word should be
- 6:00retired. But, it's the one that people
- 6:03apply to white people with whom they
- 6:04disagree because it's the one that
- 6:06implies the greatest moral inferiority.
- 6:10If someone can be called a white
- 6:12supremacist, then you don't have to pay
- 6:13attention to anything he says because
- 6:16obviously he's full of hatred and he's
- 6:18probably unhinged. Probably belongs in a
- 6:20mental institution. So,
- 6:23the way I describe what I talk about and
- 6:26stand for
- 6:27are two things. One is called race
- 6:30realism. It's the idea that race is not
- 6:34some kind of sociological optical
- 6:36illusion, which was an idea that was
- 6:39circulated with great vigor at one time.
- 6:42We were supposed to think that it's
- 6:44really only in our minds. If you look at
- 6:46a a pygmy and a Dane and you think that
- 6:49they're different, you're really wrong.
- 6:51There's nothing biological about it. And
- 6:54I remember when this madness was at its
- 6:56height, people would talk about a person
- 6:58who is racialized as black. In other
- 7:02words, you're not really black. You are
- 7:04racialized as black by people whose
- 7:07minds have been infected by this cuckoo
- 7:09idea about race. In any case, my point
- 7:12is race is a genuine biological
- 7:15phenomenon. And furthermore, people of
- 7:17different races consistently build
- 7:20societies that reflect their
- 7:21differences. That races are not
- 7:24interchangeable. If you swapped out the
- 7:26population of say Japan and replaced it
- 7:30with nothing but Turks, say, or Somalis
- 7:33or Indonesians, you would not have
- 7:36Japan.
- 7:37Japanese society and culture would not
- 7:40be continued in a meaningful way. So,
- 7:43the races are different and also in a
- 7:46multiracial society, different races
- 7:49have different interests. They are
- 7:50competing interests. And the final
- 7:52aspect of race realism leads to what I
- 7:56call white advocacy.
- 7:58And that is the position that white
- 8:00people, just like people of all other
- 8:02races, have legitimate interests as a
- 8:05group.
- 8:06And whites are the only group, certainly
- 8:09in the United States and you could even
- 8:11say around the world, who are denied the
- 8:15kinds of expression of interest that are
- 8:18taken for granted by every other racial
- 8:21group.
- 8:21>> From what you said, the the executive
- 8:23summary of the American Renaissance, an
- 8:25organization you put together
- 8:27>> That's correct.
- 8:27>> 35 years ago, 1990.
- 8:30>> Uh 36 years ago now.
- 8:32>> 36 years ago, 1990, you put together the
- 8:34American Renaissance and from what I
- 8:36read at the introduction you gave me,
- 8:38the American Renaissance is what you
- 8:39just mentioned while you were explaining
- 8:42that it's an advocacy group.
- 8:43>> Yes, it's an advocacy group.
- 8:45>> are an advocate for white
- 8:47>> Yeah.
- 8:48>> interest.
- 8:48>> Yes. Yes.
- 8:49>> Now, advocating for white interest, how
- 8:52is it different from saying I'm a white
- 8:53nationalist?
- 8:55Not that the term white nationalist has
- 8:57any bad connotation, but for those of
- 8:59people who have called you a white
- 9:00nationalist.
- 9:01>> Presumably, a white nationalist is
- 9:04someone who wants to live in a nation
- 9:06that is white or overwhelmingly white or
- 9:09exclusively white.
- 9:11That is one possible legitimate interest
- 9:14of white people, but that is a specific
- 9:16one.
- 9:17Whites can have interests of their own,
- 9:20whether it is to build a white society
- 9:23or to have their own interests protected
- 9:26in a multiracial society. White
- 9:29nationalism is an expression of white
- 9:32interest that is more specific than
- 9:34white advocacy.
- 9:35>> I see.
- 9:36>> Now, I would like to distinguish both of
- 9:39them from white supremacy.
- 9:42If that term has any meaning at all,
- 9:45it's the idea that whites should be
- 9:46ruling over people of different races.
- 9:50And back in the era of slavery or of the
- 9:53European imperial empires, there was
- 9:57very much an idea that whites should be
- 9:59in a position to overlook and to run the
- 10:03affairs of people of different races.
- 10:06That was a legitimate expression of
- 10:08white supremacy.
- 10:09The people who think as I do,
- 10:12I I don't know a single one who thinks,
- 10:14"Well, yes, yes, white people should
- 10:16just be cracking the whip over people of
- 10:18other races." No one thinks that way.
- 10:20If anything, people who think the way I
- 10:23do think that white people should have
- 10:25the right to be left alone, to build
- 10:27their own communities, their own
- 10:29societies,
- 10:30maintain their majorities in their
- 10:33historical homelands, and
- 10:36build a community or a society in which
- 10:40their destiny remains in their own hands
- 10:43rather than being outnumbered by
- 10:45newcomers or being told that what
- 10:47they're doing is wrong. Just leave us
- 10:48alone.
- 10:49>> between
- 10:50the American Renaissance and of course
- 10:53the Orania project. He came all the way
- 10:56from South Africa.
- 10:57Yes. So, the difference between the
- 10:59American Renaissance and the Orania is
- 11:01that the Orania segregated itself away
- 11:04from the main culture to find a land for
- 11:07themselves to protect their heritage,
- 11:08language, religion, and culture.
- 11:10>> Yes.
- 11:10>> The American Renaissance, which is you,
- 11:13your argument and your work is that yes,
- 11:16America is a white country and that you
- 11:18are advocating for people to pay
- 11:20attention to the culture, heritage, and
- 11:23religion of the people who are the
- 11:26predominant ones so we can preserve it.
- 11:28Is that the advocacy?
- 11:30>> The goal is the same. In Orania,
- 11:33Afrikaners want a society that reflects
- 11:37them in every possible way. Language,
- 11:40religion, and biologically. People who
- 11:43are biologically Afrikaner. And I say,
- 11:46God bless them.
- 11:48In the United States, given the number
- 11:51of non-whites in this country, I think
- 11:53it would be impossible to try to rebuild
- 11:57an overwhelmingly or all-white United
- 11:59States of America. That possibility has
- 12:02disappeared.
- 12:04In the United States, I think the only
- 12:06ultimate solution that would preserve
- 12:09Western heritage and the culture of
- 12:11Europeans in North America would be some
- 12:13kind of enclave or balkanization. But,
- 12:16the idea is the same, that all people
- 12:19and not just non-whites have the right
- 12:23to a homeland that is unquestionably
- 12:26theirs.
- 12:27Now, if we take into consideration the
- 12:30fact that the United States is already
- 12:32what
- 12:33uh oh, 55%
- 12:36uh or
- 12:37only 55% white at this point uh whites
- 12:40were supposed to become a minority in
- 12:422045. The idea of saying, "Well, okay,
- 12:44we're going to take it all back." That's
- 12:46not practical. And in the case of the
- 12:47American Indians and in the case of
- 12:49blacks who were brought here against
- 12:50their will, that's really not ethical.
- 12:52What are we supposed to say to people
- 12:54who black people who've been here for
- 12:55300 years, "Okay, you got to bugger off.
- 12:58Uh now you go to Benin, you go to
- 13:00Cameroon." No. I mean, look, that's just
- 13:03not proper. And the American people
- 13:04>> of the current landscape of the United
- 13:07States really bothers you or which
- 13:09ignited the formation of the American
- 13:11Renaissance?
- 13:12>> Okay.
- 13:13I would say, and this is an idea that
- 13:16may shock you and it may shock some of
- 13:18your viewers. But, in my view, white
- 13:20people are committing suicide.
- 13:24They're committing suicide in two ways.
- 13:26One is psychological,
- 13:28and then the other is actual physical
- 13:31uh
- 13:32dis- disappearance, if you will.
- 13:35And for example, one of the obvious
- 13:38expressions of psychological suicide
- 13:42in the United States and in fact all
- 13:44around the white world is the idea of
- 13:46diversity is our strength.
- 13:48Diversity, well,
- 13:50people sometimes talk about diversity as
- 13:53if it included language and religion and
- 13:55sexual orientation, but the real aspect
- 13:59of diversity that people whoop about the
- 14:01loudest is racial diversity.
- 14:04And the idea is if anything is
- 14:06overwhelmingly white, that's no good.
- 14:09You've got to have diversity to the
- 14:12point that there are people that keep
- 14:14score as to which professional sports
- 14:17are sufficiently diverse. Well, which
- 14:20sports are adequately diverse? Well, the
- 14:23National Basketball Association, which
- 14:25is what? The 75% black? That is
- 14:28adequately diverse. Even if it were 100%
- 14:30black, that would be diverse.
- 14:33The idea is diversity always comes at
- 14:36the expense of whites. Now,
- 14:39what group of people
- 14:41could possibly be tricked into thinking
- 14:44diversity, that is to say, the reduction
- 14:47of their numbers, their influence, their
- 14:51power over their own destiny was a
- 14:52wonderful strength?
- 14:54You really expect white people, and most
- 14:57of them will obediently do so, to say,
- 14:59"Diversity's wonderful. That means I am
- 15:02looking forward to becoming a minority
- 15:04and perhaps disappearing."
- 15:06>> Okay, so the yeah.
- 15:07>> This is cuckoo.
- 15:08>> Okay, the argument that people bring
- 15:10>> Yes.
- 15:11>> to what you have just said, why when it
- 15:13is
- 15:14let's say overwhelmingly white is when
- 15:16they talk about diversity,
- 15:17>> Mhm.
- 15:17>> it's not just because of the skin color
- 15:19being white. They're saying the wealth,
- 15:21the opportunities,
- 15:23and so on and so forth
- 15:25is kind of centralized only among white
- 15:28people.
- 15:28>> What if there were only white people
- 15:30here?
- 15:31Let's let's
- 15:32take the example of let's say take
- 15:34China.
- 15:36Say you went to China. You poke around
- 15:38for a few weeks and you'd look around
- 15:40and then you come back to your Chinese
- 15:41hosts and you say you know, not a bad
- 15:44country you have here, but you know, you
- 15:45know what the biggest problem? Too damn
- 15:47many Chinese. You need diversity.
- 15:51>> But that is different from saying that
- 15:52the wealth, the opportunities, and
- 15:54amenities are concentrated only in white
- 15:57and white areas. That's why we need
- 15:59diversity.
- 15:59>> Wait wait wait.
- 16:00>> Mhm.
- 16:00>> China has plenty of wealth.
- 16:03>> Yes.
- 16:03>> And it has poverty, too. But China is
- 16:06for the Chinese and no one disputes that
- 16:09the wealth that's been built up in China
- 16:11is for Chinese people. But if you said
- 16:14to them it's diversity, diversity
- 16:16strengthens the Americans. Look at them.
- 16:18Look how powerful they are. And if you
- 16:20want to be like the Americans, of course
- 16:21they don't, but the thinking would be
- 16:24oh, you need to import, you know, a
- 16:25couple million Pakistanis, you know,
- 16:27Bulgarians would be nice. Uh also, I
- 16:30don't know, Indonesians, uh people who
- 16:33are utterly unlike you. Then you'll be a
- 16:35real country.
- 16:36They would look at you and they would
- 16:38call in the men in the white coats and
- 16:40they would put you in a rubber room.
- 16:42They would say you're insane.
- 16:44However,
- 16:46every white country,
- 16:48if I'm a Frenchman and I say France used
- 16:51to be overwhelmingly French and white, I
- 16:54want it to stay that way, whoa whoa
- 16:55whoa,
- 16:56that's evil. But if the Turks say we are
- 16:59Turks, we like being Turks, we want to
- 17:02remain Turkish forever,
- 17:04that's perfectly okay. This is a
- 17:06suicidal double standard.
- 17:08>> we go to something you wrote in the
- 17:09introduction of this book, let's go to
- 17:11what you just said.
- 17:12>> Okay.
- 17:12>> Who are the culprits?
- 17:14>> Who are the Here the culprits?
- 17:16>> No, be specific. Who are the culprits
- 17:18who are saying that if a place is
- 17:19overwhelmingly white and
- 17:21>> Yes.
- 17:21>> then it's not America enough, let's
- 17:23diversify the place. Who are these
- 17:25culprits who are committing their own
- 17:27suicide?
- 17:29>> It is white people. That's why I call it
- 17:30suicide and not murder.
- 17:33There are plenty of liberal white people
- 17:35who go along with this foolishness.
- 17:37>> Okay, now you're being specific.
- 17:39>> Excuse me?
- 17:39>> Of course you're being specific now.
- 17:41It's the liberal whites.
- 17:42>> Yes.
- 17:42>> Okay, go ahead.
- 17:43>> Yes.
- 17:43>> Yes.
- 17:44>> Yes. Oh, take someone like uh Hillary
- 17:46Clinton.
- 17:48Uh for years she and Bill Clinton, they
- 17:51would whoop about how wonderful
- 17:52diversity is. I remember Hillary Clinton
- 17:56went back to her old high school. And
- 17:59there was this group of students who
- 18:00came to listen to the first lady of the
- 18:02United States and she says, "I look
- 18:04around and I see all this wonderful
- 18:07diversity. It wasn't this way when I was
- 18:09a student here and this is so great.
- 18:11This is the future." She never
- 18:13explicitly said, "And white people
- 18:15become minority and that's fine, too."
- 18:18But that's what's implied. Well, this
- 18:20great lover of diversity, where she and
- 18:23Bill left the White House, where did
- 18:25they go live? They bought a house in
- 18:27Chappaqua, New York. It's about as white
- 18:30as place as you can find this side of
- 18:32Iceland. Last I checked, there were
- 18:34maybe three black people living in
- 18:36Chappaqua, New York. Maybe there are
- 18:38none now. But this is the kind of utter
- 18:41and total hypocrisy.
- 18:42>> to Chappaqua for security reasons? Of
- 18:44course, yeah. The first former president
- 18:46and first lady. Well, But he bought his
- 18:48office in Bronx.
- 18:49>> Look, look. They could have Yes, yes.
- 18:51He's he's never there. The idea was if
- 18:54if they wanted to live in Bronx, they
- 18:57have got the Secret Service. They could
- 18:59be secure there. They can be secure
- 19:00anywhere. They can be helicoptered in
- 19:03and out. They can have gunships around
- 19:05them if need be. No, they want to be
- 19:07around white people. And Hillary
- 19:09Clinton, if she wants to have a backyard
- 19:11barbecue or she wants to invite the
- 19:14neighbors in for a drink, is she looking
- 19:16for Guatemalans? Is she looking for
- 19:19people from Africa? No, it's all going
- 19:21to be white people. This is such
- 19:23pathetic baloney. In fact
- 19:25>> So
- 19:25>> if you if you ask
- 19:26>> Jared, what
- 19:27>> Yes.
- 19:27>> Let's be honest and let's be fair.
- 19:29>> I'm always honest.
- 19:30>> That's correct.
- 19:31>> You be honest, too.
- 19:32Yes.
- 19:33>> My question to you.
- 19:34>> Yes.
- 19:35>> And this is important.
- 19:37>> Okay.
- 19:37>> Why are the white liberals pursuing this
- 19:40path?
- 19:41>> You know
- 19:43I don't have a good answer for you.
- 19:45I used to be
- 19:46a pretty good friend of a guy named John
- 19:48Brock. He was a black separatist.
- 19:51He didn't like white people. But he
- 19:53liked me because I was honest and I
- 19:57agreed with his ideas about voluntary
- 19:59separation.
- 20:00>> black guy. Yes, black guy.
- 20:01>> Mhm.
- 20:02>> And I remember once so you know, we used
- 20:04to talk on the phone.
- 20:05And he says to me, "Jared, you know, I
- 20:07think it's a great thing, but why are
- 20:10white people committing suicide?"
- 20:13He could see it. He could see it in the
- 20:15way white people talk about their own
- 20:18unearned privilege and how their
- 20:20unconscious racism and how they're
- 20:22importing non-whites in huge numbers
- 20:24that would reduce them to a minority. He
- 20:27could see white people committing
- 20:28suicide.
- 20:29And I don't have a good answer for him.
- 20:31I have a number of theories
- 20:34>> Wouldn't it probably take a half an hour
- 20:35to get
- 20:35>> that would have been very helpful
- 20:37because that is what I always concern
- 20:40myself with. Why would people do
- 20:43something as you said that is so
- 20:45detrimental both psychologically and
- 20:47physically to themselves? That I think
- 20:49is important.
- 20:50>> I agree with you.
- 20:51>> do that because you didn't take too much
- 20:53interest to understand your opponents?
- 20:55That may be one of your faults.
- 20:56>> Well, the fact is I was once a liberal.
- 21:00I shared many of these liberal views.
- 21:03And I can tell you
- 21:05one of the reasons why it is so
- 21:07difficult to cease being a liberal in
- 21:10the United States.
- 21:11And it is because liberals are convinced
- 21:14that not only are they right and people
- 21:17like me are wrong, they are morally
- 21:20superior.
- 21:21>> Okay.
- 21:22>> They get a great thrill about thinking,
- 21:24"Oh, this Jared Taylor guy, not only is
- 21:27he factually wrong, whereas I'm
- 21:29factually 100% correct, but he is a bad
- 21:33person and I'm a good person." People
- 21:36love this feeling of moral superiority.
- 21:40And uh I read a very interesting book
- 21:42some years ago called pathological
- 21:44altruism.
- 21:45>> Yeah.
- 21:46>> And it talked about the feelings that
- 21:49people get psychologically from
- 21:51righteous indignation,
- 21:53from thinking to themselves, "Ooh, this
- 21:56person is so bad and I'm so much
- 21:59better."
- 22:00This stimulates a part of the brain
- 22:02called the basal ganglia.
- 22:04Well, the basal ganglia are precisely
- 22:07the parts of the brain that are
- 22:08stimulated by addictive drugs.
- 22:12And people, I believe, can get addicted
- 22:15to this feeling of moral superiority, of
- 22:18righteous indignation. And liberals love
- 22:21that feeling.
- 22:22>> What What is it about the white liberals
- 22:24that attracts majority of the white
- 22:26thinking the black thinking? What is it
- 22:28about the white liberals that
- 22:30>> Well, right now, what is attractive
- 22:32about it is that it is the majority
- 22:34view.
- 22:35And if you want to get ahead in the
- 22:36United States, you don't buck the
- 22:38majority. You don't say the things that
- 22:40I do. You say the things that Hillary
- 22:43Clinton says, and that is how you get
- 22:45ahead. In any society, most people are
- 22:48conformist. Most people want to get
- 22:50ahead. Most people want to be liked. We
- 22:53are herd animals. We like to be part of
- 22:56the flock, sort of rubbing up against
- 22:58all the other members of the flock. If
- 23:00we're all out by ourselves, that's
- 23:02lonely for human beings.
- 23:03>> There's something people don't know
- 23:04about you and I was uh glad that I read
- 23:07this and I think you and I have uh
- 23:09shared some in that. You said on March
- 23:1213, 1961,
- 23:14the black boxer Floyd Patterson knocked
- 23:16out the Swedish challenger
- 23:18Ingemar Johansson.
- 23:20>> Ingemar Ingemar Johansson.
- 23:22>> Johansson, yeah. That's Johansson.
- 23:23>> Ingemar Johansson.
- 23:24>> Yeah, Ingemar Johansson to retain the
- 23:26world heavyweight title. I was 9 years
- 23:28old and knew nothing about boxing.
- 23:31But my eyes was caught by a newspaper
- 23:33picture
- 23:35of the victorious Patterson standing
- 23:37over Johansson out cold on the canvas.
- 23:41I read the article and I asked my father
- 23:44At the time, your father your parents
- 23:46were missionaries in Japan.
- 23:47>> And I was living in Japan.
- 23:49>> Where you were born and raised.
- 23:51>> I'd probably never met a black man at
- 23:53that time.
- 23:53>> That's correct because in 1960, that
- 23:55would be 61 there about, right?
- 23:56>> Yes.
- 23:57>> That's correct. I went there in the 1990
- 23:59and it takes me 6 months for me to meet
- 24:01a black person. You said
- 24:04I read the article and asked my father
- 24:06if this meant no one on earth could beat
- 24:09Patterson.
- 24:10>> No one
- 24:10>> He said that was right. Patterson was
- 24:14the best boxer in the world. I remember
- 24:16thinking to myself at 9 years old that
- 24:19this just wasn't right. Surely there
- 24:21must be one of our guys,
- 24:24a white guy, who could beat him.
- 24:26>> Right. Right. Now,
- 24:29I think that was a spontaneous, natural
- 24:33reaction. Really of any human being.
- 24:37Ingemar Johansson wasn't American. He
- 24:39was a Swede. I'm not Swedish.
- 24:42>> But you're white.
- 24:42>> But I'm white. Floyd Patterson
- 24:45was a black man.
- 24:46>> An American.
- 24:47>> An American. Same passport, same
- 24:49nationality as myself. But I wanted the
- 24:52white guy to win. Now,
- 24:54I'll tell you something interesting
- 24:55about that.
- 24:56I never even thought about that thought
- 25:00that I had until I was probably 35 or 37
- 25:05years old.
- 25:06That was a very unfashionable, illiberal
- 25:09thought to have had. And I went through
- 25:12a typical liberal stage. I went to
- 25:15college when I was 16 years old. You
- 25:18could be liberal just by breathing the
- 25:19air. I think I did not permit myself to
- 25:22remember that reaction.
- 25:24>> How old did you remain in Japan before
- 25:26you left?
- 25:27>> I was 16.
- 25:28>> 16?
- 25:28>> lived there till I was 16.
- 25:30>> become a citizen?
- 25:31>> No, no. They don't want They don't want
- 25:32people like me.
- 25:33>> Now, this story when I read it
- 25:35>> Yes.
- 25:36>> I haven't even thought about it. But
- 25:38when I read it, I remember coming into
- 25:40this country in 1994. Do you remember
- 25:42what was hoopla? Glued to the TV at the
- 25:45time. What is Simpson?
- 25:46>> Oh.
- 25:48>> So, I was in college. So, O.J. Simpson
- 25:50and me being in the media class, that
- 25:52story became one of us. How would you
- 25:53cover it? Which angle? That kind of
- 25:55thing. We were in the cafeteria the day
- 25:58>> Yes.
- 25:58>> the
- 26:00the verdict was going to be announced.
- 26:03And I look around the room and all the
- 26:06white guys were in one corner of the
- 26:07cafeteria. And all the white people
- 26:09except we the Africans, we had no hand
- 26:11in who to be.
- 26:13And as soon as he popped up on
- 26:14television, the cafeteria the entire
- 26:16campus
- 26:18and the black students threw a party
- 26:20that night.
- 26:21>> Mhm.
- 26:22>> And they celebrated.
- 26:23>> You talking about the innocent the
- 26:24innocent verdict.
- 26:25>> Yes. The innocent verdict.
- 26:27>> Yes. No, he didn't kill
- 26:29>> two students tears came and these are
- 26:31black students and they don't know O.J.
- 26:32Simpson from anything. So, that is the
- 26:35same thing you felt that day. I am only
- 26:37protecting and and and rooting for my
- 26:40kind.
- 26:41>> Right. Right.
- 26:42>> The hooligans in UK, the soccer
- 26:44hooligans they call them, it would be an
- 26:47it would be unfathomable to see a white
- 26:51English soccer hooligan
- 26:53rooting for Messi's Italian team
- 26:56over Chester uh what are the teams in
- 26:58the UK?
- 26:59>> Oh, the Rovers or Arsenal or
- 27:03>> so at 9 years old you just had a natural
- 27:05reaction to say I wish the guy who
- 27:07looked like me won.
- 27:08>> Exactly. Exactly.
- 27:09>> Do you have the same feeling today?
- 27:11Would you have the same thing? Mike
- 27:12Tyson is fighting what is the name of
- 27:14that? Neely, the white boy.
- 27:15>> Uh-huh.
- 27:16>> Whom will you root for?
- 27:17>> I'd vote for the white guy. White guy.
- 27:19>> Today
- 27:20>> I want the white guy to win. I I don't
- 27:21make any apologies for it.
- 27:22>> That's great.
- 27:23>> And uh he well, he's part of my larger
- 27:26genetic family. Now, if I happen to know
- 27:29the black guy, he's a friend of mine and
- 27:32then I might want him to win. But in
- 27:35pure racial abstract terms, I want the
- 27:38white guy to win and I make no apologies
- 27:41for that. But it is only white people
- 27:43who are criticized if they say such a
- 27:45thing. Now,
- 27:46back when I was 9 years old,
- 27:49if the victor if the guy who had beaten
- 27:51Ingemar Johansson had been a Turk or had
- 27:56been I don't know uh
- 28:01an Indonesian,
- 28:02I'm sure I would have felt the same way.
- 28:04It wasn't because he was black. It was
- 28:07because he wasn't one of our guys. Now,
- 28:10I had never ever been taught by my
- 28:12parents about race being a significant
- 28:15barrier. My parents were Christian
- 28:17missionaries. They thought all people
- 28:18are children of God. We are equal in
- 28:21God's sight and we should treat people
- 28:23all entirely as God's children.
- 28:26>> So, you were raised by Christian
- 28:27>> Yes.
- 28:27>> ministers up until the age of 16 in
- 28:29Japan.
- 28:30>> In Japan.
- 28:30>> That's why you have quite quite a fluent
- 28:32Japanese
- 28:32>> That's right. But my point is most
- 28:35people if they read that story just the
- 28:36way you did, they would say to
- 28:38themselves, "Oh, well, his white parents
- 28:40had instilled this anti-black
- 28:42prejudice." Not at all. This was
- 28:45something that bubbled up from inside of
- 28:48me without any kind of fostering
- 28:51environmentally. Remember, I was living
- 28:54among Japanese people all the time. I
- 28:56had no I had a sense of being white on
- 28:59account of that, but it was not a
- 29:01negative sense or any kind of hostile
- 29:04sense. I was good friends with my
- 29:05Japanese classmates. And this was just a
- 29:09natural reaction and I would bet you
- 29:12that probably 99% of white people in the
- 29:16circumstances similar to mine, no matter
- 29:20what their genetic makeup were, would
- 29:21have had a similar reaction. Oh, he's
- 29:24our guy. And that guy, he's not one of
- 29:27our guys and he knocked him flat. That's
- 29:29not right.
- 29:30And these days, of course, most black
- 29:33people in the United States, they're
- 29:34utterly unabashed about Well, of course
- 29:36I root for the black guy. They make no
- 29:39apologies. It's only white people who
- 29:41would have to apologize. I'll tell you
- 29:43another story. I can't remember how long
- 29:45ago it was, but the World Soccer Cup of
- 29:49women, the final was played in Los
- 29:52Angeles and it was between the Chinese
- 29:55and the Americans.
- 29:57Well,
- 29:58that was back in the '90s. Well, how
- 29:59long ago was that? It was a long time
- 30:00ago. In any case, in any case, um
- 30:03there were two communities of Chinese in
- 30:05Los Angeles, the nationalists and the
- 30:07communists. They generally hated each
- 30:09other. But for this final,
- 30:12they booked a whole area of seats all
- 30:16together and they got together to root
- 30:18for the Chinese team. Because whether
- 30:22they were nationalists, whether they
- 30:23were American citizens, whether they
- 30:25were communists, they had one thing in
- 30:27common. They were Chinese and they
- 30:29wanted the Chinese team to win. And it's
- 30:31the same whenever the US national team
- 30:34plays the Mexican team, for example, in
- 30:36soccer, whatever it was. You can be a US
- 30:39citizen, but if you are Mexican or any
- 30:42kind of Hispanic, you're rooting for the
- 30:44Mexican team.
- 30:45>> So one of the things I've heard quite
- 30:47often
- 30:47>> Yes.
- 30:48>> very frequently from the white liberal
- 30:51side,
- 30:52especially during the season of
- 30:54elections, is that yes, we are we are
- 30:56sympathetic to minorities, blacks,
- 31:00because they don't have the same wealth
- 31:01and opportunities and access as black
- 31:04people. So we are trying hard to
- 31:07vote for the Democratic Party because
- 31:09we, the white liberals, would like to
- 31:12make sure that black people um
- 31:15you know,
- 31:15>> succeed.
- 31:16>> succeed. Yes.
- 31:18>> Now,
- 31:20is that a genuine
- 31:22feeling?
- 31:23Or what is the damage in that kind of
- 31:25thinking?
- 31:26>> Well,
- 31:27I cannot read their minds.
- 31:29>> Mhm.
- 31:30Let's take it on the surface. I beg your
- 31:31pardon? Let's take it on the surface.
- 31:34>> On a what? On the surface point of it?
- 31:36>> No, no, no, surface. The surface of it.
- 31:37>> No, on the surface, on the surface.
- 31:40I think most people are sincere in what
- 31:43they say. They believe in what they say.
- 31:44Most people
- 31:45would be very uncomfortable spending
- 31:47their lives
- 31:49outright lying.
- 31:51Uh human beings don't work that way
- 31:53unless they're psychopaths. And
- 31:55apparently maybe 4% of the population is
- 31:57psychopaths and a lot of them are
- 31:58politicians, it's true. But most people,
- 32:01they do not they're just not comfortable
- 32:03saying things all the time they don't
- 32:05believe. So I think most people believe
- 32:07in what they say. And when liberals
- 32:09might say, "Well, black people have been
- 32:12oppressed and it's our fault and
- 32:14therefore we have to do everything
- 32:15possible to make things better for them,
- 32:17so ultimately we get equal outcomes."
- 32:19>> [clears throat]
- 32:19>> I think they genuinely believe that.
- 32:20Now,
- 32:22all of these people who say, "We need to
- 32:25make it possible for black people to
- 32:26advance." When is the When have you ever
- 32:29heard of a person high up in a company
- 32:32who says, "And I'm going to resign." And
- 32:35so a black person or Hispanic person, or
- 32:38an Eskimo can take my place. Never. It's
- 32:42always some other poor schlub of a white
- 32:44guy who doesn't get the job so that he
- 32:46can show you just how wonderful and
- 32:48virtuous he is. This is all part of this
- 32:50terrible hypocrisy.
- 32:52>> that sentiment towards black people from
- 32:54the white liberals?
- 32:54>> Yes.
- 32:56>> In in our judgment
- 32:58>> Mhm. What about it? I think it's genuine
- 33:01I think they
- 33:02>> It's genuine you are saying.
- 33:03>> I I I think it is now.
- 33:04>> Well, is that the is that the group?
- 33:06Yes, go ahead.
- 33:07>> They deceive themselves because
- 33:10they don't seem to realize that if this
- 33:13sentiment persists, if we really have
- 33:16built a society in which we want every
- 33:19single race to have equal outcomes, no
- 33:22matter whatever differences there might
- 33:24be in ability or dedication or
- 33:27persistence of different racial groups,
- 33:29then they have built-in automatic
- 33:31headwinds against their own people.
- 33:34That's what all of this business of DEI
- 33:36is all about, diversity, equity,
- 33:38inclusion. How do you get diversity? How
- 33:40do you get equity? How do you get
- 33:42inclusion? By having fewer white people.
- 33:44That's the long and the short of it. And
- 33:46have white people get
- 33:49shouting this from the rooftops, you
- 33:51know, under the Biden administration.
- 33:54>> All right. Now, we're going to go to the
- 33:55crux of the matter.
- 33:56>> Okay. Well, we'll we'll set Biden the
- 33:58hot aside for now, but let Okay. To the
- 34:01crux of the matter.
- 34:01>> Yes.
- 34:02>> Yes.
- 34:02>> So, we woke up
- 34:03>> Mhm.
- 34:04>> next week Monday.
- 34:05>> Yes.
- 34:06>> Jared Taylor has been nominated by the
- 34:08Trump administration to be the secretary
- 34:10of culture and immigration.
- 34:13>> [laughter]
- 34:14>> Now, you can't be an advocate without
- 34:16saying in your head, if I were at the
- 34:19the helm of affairs, I would do
- 34:21something to slow down this suicide.
- 34:23>> Yes.
- 34:24>> What would you do?
- 34:25>> Well, uh interestingly enough, I would
- 34:28do many of the things already undertaken
- 34:31by the Trump administration.
- 34:33>> Namely?
- 34:34>> Seal the border.
- 34:36>> Okay.
- 34:36>> Under Biden, of course, in the worst
- 34:39months,
- 34:41300,000
- 34:43illegal immigrants just marched across
- 34:45the southern border. No vetting, no
- 34:47nothing. Come one, come all. And then
- 34:49they'd go on welfare, they'd be put in
- 34:51these housing development how housing
- 34:53places.
- 34:54Suicide, complete suicide. I mean, even
- 34:57aside from any kind of racial
- 35:00consciousness and wanting to live in a
- 35:01majority white country, letting these
- 35:03people in, utterly unvetted, who knows
- 35:05how many criminals there are, how many
- 35:07low IQ morons there are, who are going
- 35:09to be beggars, who are going to be
- 35:10rapists. We don't even care. Come on in.
- 35:13Suicide. This is something that is
- 35:15inconceivable in any other country.
- 35:18>> So, immigration is one.
- 35:19>> Yes, seal the border.
- 35:20>> Second.
- 35:20>> Now,
- 35:21uh Donald Trump has gone so far as to
- 35:24essentially eliminate the refugee
- 35:26program. Under Joe Biden, there were
- 35:27125,000 slots for refugees. Every single
- 35:31one of them non-white, by the way.
- 35:33They're some They're They're from
- 35:35countries that uh oh, Bhutan, for
- 35:37example, or Syria, or Afghanistan.
- 35:40Countries a lot of Americans have never
- 35:41even heard of. But they were coming into
- 35:43the country because they were legitimate
- 35:44refugees.
- 35:46Donald Trump has said, "No, we're going
- 35:48to have only 7,500, and they're all
- 35:50going to be white."
- 35:51This is an astonishing turnaround from
- 35:54any previous administration. That's a
- 35:55good thing, too. Donald Trump has also
- 35:58tried to obliterate DEI in the
- 36:01government.
- 36:02In the government today, there are no
- 36:04celebrations for Martin Luther King Day.
- 36:07Did you know that? This was something
- 36:08that was almost the 11th commandment.
- 36:10You have to celebrate Martin Luther
- 36:12King.
- 36:13>> What was wrong with that?
- 36:14>> Excuse me. What?
- 36:15>> What was wrong with celebrating Martin
- 36:16Luther King Day?
- 36:17>> Well, boy, ha. Martin Luther King.
- 36:22You want to You don't want to talk about
- 36:23Martin Luther King?
- 36:24>> No, just what was wrong with the
- 36:26celebration of it?
- 36:27>> Martin Luther King, Martin Luther King
- 36:28was a man who worked very hard for black
- 36:32interests. He clothed those black
- 36:35interests in the language of equal
- 36:37rights.
- 36:39And there was a time in the United
- 36:40States when blacks did not have equal
- 36:43rights and equal access. And he always
- 36:46said, "Equality, that's what we want."
- 36:49But as soon as the Civil Rights Acts
- 36:51were passed, Civil Rights Act of 1964,
- 36:53Voting Rights Act 1965,
- 36:55without pausing to catch his breath, he
- 36:59started wanting compensatory treatment,
- 37:02special treatment for blacks. Now,
- 37:04here's a guy whose interests were black
- 37:07people. That was his real number one
- 37:10interest.
- 37:11Why should we celebrate a guy whose
- 37:13interests were exclusively for black
- 37:15people?
- 37:16>> Come on, Jared. But at the time you're
- 37:17talking about Martin Luther King,
- 37:19who wouldn't want to do anything for
- 37:22black people? There was segregation,
- 37:24there was discrimination, there was
- 37:26lynching, there was well,
- 37:27>> Lynching had pretty much ended by then.
- 37:30And segregation, legal segregation
- 37:32existed only in a part of the country.
- 37:34>> Yes, segregated educational systems.
- 37:35>> Okay, that's fine. That's fine.
- 37:37>> was wrong for him to say, "These are
- 37:39afflicted people. You are afflicted."
- 37:40>> is nothing wrong for him to do that for
- 37:42his people. However, yeah, as a
- 37:45consequence of his having done that,
- 37:48does he become the only human being or
- 37:51the only person aside from Jesus Christ
- 37:55whose birthday is celebrated as a
- 37:57national holiday? Does it make him that
- 37:59important? Really? He's as important as
- 38:02Jesus Christ so we celebrate his
- 38:04birthday as a national holiday? This is
- 38:06cuckoo. No. And
- 38:08>> his birthday enacted as a national
- 38:10holiday?
- 38:10>> Excuse me?
- 38:11>> How did not How did his birthday become
- 38:13a national holiday?
- 38:15>> Oh, Congress voted it. There were a few
- 38:17southern states who opposed this.
- 38:19>> whose regime was that?
- 38:19>> I I your pardon?
- 38:20>> Uh who
- 38:21>> Under Reagan, if uh I believe it was
- 38:23Ronald Reagan who finally Ronald Reagan
- 38:25didn't like it.
- 38:26But, uh no. This was something that
- 38:28America decided. And uh now we have
- 38:31Juneteenth, yet another black holiday,
- 38:34another cuckoo black holiday. What are
- 38:36we celebrating? The fact that black
- 38:38people didn't realize until months after
- 38:41the war that uh slavery had been
- 38:43abolished. Why are we even celebrating
- 38:45that? That's almost celebrating the
- 38:46ignorance of black people. In any case,
- 38:49if you're going to have a multiracial
- 38:52country,
- 38:53if the idea is we're all going to hold
- 38:55hands and be Americans and dismantle any
- 38:59kind of racial consciousness. That was
- 39:01the whole idea of the civil rights
- 39:02movement. We're going to make race not
- 39:04matter. We're all going to be Americans.
- 39:06Then, we should not be celebrating a
- 39:09black man who says race certainly
- 39:12matters. It matters the most to me. And
- 39:16now that we've got equality, we want
- 39:18more than equality. We want special
- 39:19treatment. That should not be something
- 39:21to celebrate.
- 39:23>> So, you're not in any way undermining
- 39:25the work he did as a civil rights
- 39:26leader.
- 39:27>> For him to try to advance the interests
- 39:31of his people, that's perfectly
- 39:33understandable. I have no quarrel with
- 39:35that at all. My quarrel is with an
- 39:38America that is so concerned about its
- 39:41past shortcomings that it makes him the
- 39:44patron saint of the United States,
- 39:46despite all of his moral failings, his
- 39:48plagiarism, his adultery, his foul
- 39:51language, his communist sentiments,
- 39:53probably the fact that he really wasn't
- 39:55an orthodox Christian by any stretch of
- 39:57the imagination, either. We brush all of
- 39:59this aside and make him more important
- 40:03than any single American who ever lived.
- 40:06That's what we say when we have Martin
- 40:07Luther King Day and no other person who
- 40:10is who is celebrated as an individual.
- 40:12He is known, really, for having said
- 40:15only one thing, and he didn't even
- 40:17believe it. This idea of being judged by
- 40:19the content of my character rather than
- 40:21the color of my skin. If you really
- 40:23think that, you're not going to push for
- 40:25affirmative action, which is what he
- 40:27immediately started doing after he got
- 40:29equal rights. So, I understand his
- 40:32desire to promote the interests of his
- 40:34people, but to make him the patron saint
- 40:36of America is to paint white people as
- 40:41devils who can never be trusted.
- 40:43>> Let's go back to your advocacy.
- 40:46>> Okay.
- 40:47>> So,
- 40:47>> Yes.
- 40:48>> if this is the closing of this
- 40:49conversation, and you want to remind the
- 40:51viewers of what the American Renaissance
- 40:54stands for in order to make it clear
- 40:56today that you said in the beginning,
- 40:58I'm not a white supremacist, I'm not a
- 41:00white nationalist, I'm not even a
- 41:01separatist.
- 41:02>> Well, I am I believe in voluntary
- 41:05separation, complete freedom of
- 41:07association.
- 41:08>> Yes.
- 41:09>> And to me, this is an obtainable
- 41:12uh an obtainable outcome.
- 41:14>> Describe how that would be.
- 41:16>> In the United States today, the United
- 41:17States government, all parts of
- 41:20government are in the business of
- 41:21encouraging people to come together
- 41:23whether they want to or not. School
- 41:25integration. You have to integrate your
- 41:28company. The idea of saying, "Well, you
- 41:30know, I want to do business only with uh
- 41:33white people or only with black people."
- 41:35Oh, you can't do that. Voluntary
- 41:38voluntary association is a profoundly
- 41:41important civil right. We do not have
- 41:43that. If I want to say, "I want to live
- 41:45in a community where everyone is rich,
- 41:48white, and good-looking." If that's my
- 41:50preference, oh,
- 41:51>> [laughter]
- 41:51>> that's really terrible. But,
- 41:54for most non-white people to wish to
- 41:57live in a in a society or go to a
- 42:00church, for example, that reflects your
- 42:02race, your heritage, that's perfectly
- 42:04okay. You know, we have about 10,000
- 42:06Asian churches in the United States.
- 42:09Overwhelmingly Asian.
- 42:11And practically every black denomination
- 42:13church is
- 42:15overwhelmingly black. But if you have a
- 42:17white church and you want to keep it
- 42:19white, no, no, no, no, no. That's no
- 42:21good.
- 42:21>> So Bob, to the one line
- 42:23>> let me finish this.
- 42:25We have to in the United States get over
- 42:27the idea
- 42:29that if white people wish to live in a
- 42:31culturally and racially coherent setting
- 42:34themselves, that there's anything wrong
- 42:36with that. Now, I'm not saying they all
- 42:38have to live with live that way. If
- 42:40Americans want to live in this
- 42:42multi-culti mishmash, God bless them.
- 42:45It's up to them. But for those who wish
- 42:47to live amongst themselves celebrating
- 42:50their own culture and holding their own
- 42:52destiny in their own hands, they should
- 42:54have that opportunity without any kind
- 42:56of problem.
- 42:56>> is your last sentiment is you said one,
- 42:58you are against the government making it
- 43:00almost mandatory that people should move
- 43:03in and close on other people. I want to
- 43:05get the picture clear for my audience.
- 43:08So in one sentence I, Jared Taylor of
- 43:11the American Renaissance, I am
- 43:12advocating for what in one sentence?
- 43:15>> Well, if I have to put it in one
- 43:17sentence
- 43:17>> Yes.
- 43:18>> uh
- 43:19complete freedom of association and the
- 43:23recognition that white people as a group
- 43:26have legitimate interests and the right
- 43:28to organize to defend those interests.
- 43:30>> Now, let me ask you, who really
- 43:32frustrates you?
- 43:33Is it the immigrants who come here or is
- 43:36it your government?
- 43:37>> What frustrates me is white people.
- 43:40White people still basically run the
- 43:42show.
- 43:42>> But when you say white people, that is
- 43:44too broad. Okay, now you got okay.
- 43:46>> The ones who are doing something
- 43:48unprecedented in the history of the
- 43:50world who are building this society
- 43:53based on the idea that they and their
- 43:55ancestors are all sort of inherently
- 43:57guilty.
- 43:58That white people are responsible if
- 44:00non-white people don't succeed at the
- 44:02same rate as white people. And that to
- 44:05to
- 44:06their own culture, their own
- 44:07civilization is somehow illegitimate. No
- 44:10majority people in history of the world
- 44:12has ever done that. No majority people
- 44:14has ever said, "Okay, here's a country
- 44:16our ancestors built, but yeah, come on
- 44:19in. You can take this chunk. You guys,
- 44:21you can take that chunk. And if we
- 44:23become a minority and a despised
- 44:24minority, well, that's how you celebrate
- 44:26diversity."
- 44:28>> Nobody has ever done that. If somebody
- 44:29asked you to make a statement
- 44:31>> Yes.
- 44:32>> Okay.
- 44:32>> Right.
- 44:33>> about the United States of America and
- 44:36its participation in slavery,
- 44:37discrimination, segregation, whatever
- 44:39has happened and did happen. That is
- 44:41This is not a thousand years ago.
- 44:43>> Right.
- 44:44>> What do you say to that?
- 44:45>> What do I say to that?
- 44:47Let's talk about slavery.
- 44:49Every society in the world has had
- 44:51slavery.
- 44:53White people are the people who
- 44:54abolished slavery all around the world.
- 44:57They shoved abolition down the throats
- 45:00of Africans and Arabs who wanted to
- 45:01maintain it. There are Arab countries
- 45:04that didn't disallow slavery until what,
- 45:061950s, 1960s? And you know,
- 45:09Arabs enslaved a lot more sub-Saharan
- 45:13Africans than ever crossed the Atlantic.
- 45:16>> because my neighbor, I will not say
- 45:18because my neighbor engaged in a
- 45:21homicide, that should also excuse me
- 45:23engaging in one. I'm asking that you
- 45:26must make a specific statement when it
- 45:27comes to your country, the United States
- 45:29of America. For the liberals who are
- 45:30saying, "We did something wrong. We are
- 45:32ashamed of against black people." Not
- 45:34against against African Americans. I'm
- 45:36asking what would your contribution or
- 45:39sentiment be around that subject?
- 45:41>> I'd say, "Get over it. I didn't do it
- 45:44and you weren't a victim." And black
- 45:46people today living in the United States
- 45:48>> I mean, not the people who are here.
- 45:51>> Well,
- 45:51>> So, when the Arabs were refusing to
- 45:53engage in slavery, when the English
- 45:55>> When refusing to you mean abolish
- 45:57>> No, refusing to abolish slavery. And
- 45:59when the English were pushing to abolish
- 46:01slavery.
- 46:02>> Yes.
- 46:02>> If America was not involved in slavery
- 46:04at that time, but was planning to go
- 46:07into slavery, you wouldn't say yes
- 46:08because everybody is doing it, it's
- 46:10fine, my country can do it. You wouldn't
- 46:11say that, would you?
- 46:13>> At the time?
- 46:13>> Yeah.
- 46:14>> I don't know what I would have thought.
- 46:15I mean, if I were a person of that time,
- 46:18probably Well, even most Southern
- 46:22Americans had real second thoughts about
- 46:25slavery. Thomas Jefferson, for example,
- 46:27the way he described slavery, he says,
- 46:30"We have the wolf by the ears. We can
- 46:33either hold him nor let him go." Imagine
- 46:35having a wolf by the ears. That's a very
- 46:37dangerous situation. This is slavery.
- 46:39>> a wolf? He's the
- 46:40>> The wolf is slavery. The wolf is
- 46:42slavery.
- 46:42>> Okay.
- 46:43>> This is very no good. But, if we let him
- 46:45go, then what's going to happen? Because
- 46:47Thomas Jefferson thought that it was
- 46:49going to be impossible for whites and
- 46:50blacks to live under the same
- 46:52government.
- 46:53And so, he said, "This is a terrible
- 46:55thing, but what do we do with the black
- 46:57people? We can't keep them as slaves."
- 47:00Thomas Jefferson's solution was to send
- 47:02them outside of the country. He was a
- 47:03big proponent of colonization, as it was
- 47:06called. But, as far as slavery is
- 47:09concerned,
- 47:09>> Mhm.
- 47:10>> this is something that, yes, my
- 47:12ancestors, some of them were slave
- 47:14holders, but I'm not guilty of that. In
- 47:16fact, you were pointing out, let's say
- 47:19it turns out my great-grandfather killed
- 47:22your great-grandfather.
- 47:23>> Mhm.
- 47:23>> I mean, murder is worse than slavery.
- 47:25Does that mean I owe you anything?
- 47:26>> Murder is not worse than slavery.
- 47:29>> Of course it is.
- 47:30>> No, no, I don't think that any No,
- 47:32Jared, I wouldn't compare the two.
- 47:35There's no trauma suffered after death,
- 47:37but if you live in slavery, you could
- 47:39have trauma.
- 47:40>> Well,
- 47:41>> So, I wouldn't I wouldn't compare the
- 47:42two is what I'm saying.
- 47:43>> Well, okay, whatever you say.
- 47:44>> Murdering someone or being in slavery,
- 47:46they're two separate things that we
- 47:48shouldn't even use it and say murder is
- 47:49So, I'm not saying you're wrong, it's
- 47:50your opinion, but I'm saying that my
- 47:52only point is guilt does not transfer
- 47:55down one generation. There's no legal
- 47:57theory that says, no matter what my
- 47:59great-grandfather did to you, I have to
- 48:01pay you. And yet, somehow
- 48:04>> Well, you're a Christian. God punished
- 48:05all of us for Adam and Eve's sin.
- 48:07>> What's that?
- 48:08>> You're the Christian.
- 48:09>> Well,
- 48:10>> God punished all of us for the sin of
- 48:12Adam and Eve.
- 48:14>> Well, does that does that really mean
- 48:17that white people have to pay for the
- 48:18sins of their ancestors? How come Arabs
- 48:20don't have to pay for the sins of their
- 48:21ancestors?
- 48:22>> How come no Arab has to pay for the sins
- 48:23of their ancestors while they're still
- 48:24living in the
- 48:25>> Yeah.
- 48:25>> put that pressure, but I wouldn't speak
- 48:27for that. And then I'm not saying in any
- 48:28way or form I'm not saying that oh,
- 48:30America should do anything special
- 48:32because it once helped people sleep. I'm
- 48:34not saying that.
- 48:35>> Well, good.
- 48:35>> I do not like, you know, entangling
- 48:37myself in certain conversation. I don't
- 48:38have the credibility. However, all I'm
- 48:40saying is if the liberals
- 48:42>> Right.
- 48:42>> are feeling guilty for something they
- 48:44wish never was a stain on the history
- 48:47of this country. You don't even
- 48:49sympathize with that at all?
- 48:51>> It has no implications for how we should
- 48:55behave today. None. Zero. They didn't do
- 48:59it. The people who are alive today had
- 49:02nothing to do with slavery. And the the
- 49:05function of constantly talking about
- 49:07slavery,
- 49:09the result of that is to make black
- 49:11people hate white people. Constantly
- 49:14reminding them of slavery. Look what
- 49:16these white people did long ago. They
- 49:18enslaved you. They lynched you. They
- 49:20whipped you. They segregated you.
- 49:22We say this over and over and over to
- 49:24black people.
- 49:25>> many times in my episodes that the only
- 49:27thing that comes out of this repetition
- 49:29>> Yeah.
- 49:29>> is letting young black kids who could
- 49:32live in this country, including Latinos
- 49:33and everybody, and be free and happy
- 49:35with a new seed of Americans. They will
- 49:38look back and then it generates anger.
- 49:40It is true. And nobody wants to be
- 49:42reminded you are the way you are because
- 49:44of this we did it to you. I agree with
- 49:46you completely on that.
- 49:46>> Yeah.
- 49:47>> I don't like it.
- 49:48>> That is the function of constant jabber
- 49:50about slavery. You can't go to
- 49:53Monticello or to Mount Vernon, where the
- 49:56presidents lived, and everything there
- 49:59is now about slavery. They don't talk
- 50:01about slave They're enslaved people, of
- 50:03course. They're not slaves. But,
- 50:05imagine, I mean, if you, from
- 50:07kindergarten on,
- 50:10all of society is telling you, you know,
- 50:12it's true. Your people are poor. Your
- 50:15people are likely to be in jail. Your
- 50:17people are likely to be on welfare. You
- 50:19know why?
- 50:20It's those nasty people over there.
- 50:23They did all of these things to you. And
- 50:26whether or not they know it or not,
- 50:28they're still inherently white
- 50:30supremacists. They want to just grind
- 50:31you into the dirt.
- 50:33It's a wonder to me there isn't more
- 50:35justice handed out to them.
- 50:36>> All right. If you were a black person
- 50:38anywhere in the world,
- 50:39>> Yes.
- 50:40>> at an airport, you're a black person,
- 50:41and you turn around and say, "I'm
- 50:42Japanese." People will turn and look at
- 50:44you twice.
- 50:45>> [laughter]
- 50:46>> If you were an Arab anywhere in the
- 50:48world, you say, "I'm Chinese." People
- 50:50will look at you twice. You know that.
- 50:53You lived in Japan for 16 years or
- 50:56but you wouldn't say, "I'm I'm
- 50:59Japanese." But, in the United States,
- 51:01even if you don't look like a human
- 51:02being, and you de-
- 51:04you declare at any airport, "I'm an
- 51:05American." Nobody will look at you
- 51:07twice.
- 51:08Everybody get accepted here if you are
- 51:10born and raised here, birth right
- 51:11citizenship you are. So, let me ask you.
- 51:13>> Yes.
- 51:15>> African Americans, not me,
- 51:16>> Mhm.
- 51:17>> because I'm a just a naturalized
- 51:18citizen.
- 51:19>> Right.
- 51:19>> So, if you were traveling on a crowded
- 51:22train on a Monday morning, and there's a
- 51:24black a group of black
- 51:26gentlemen saying, "Oh, we have we formed
- 51:28this organization to protect
- 51:31the dispossession of black people in
- 51:33America, to protect our heritage and our
- 51:35rights."
- 51:36>> Right.
- 51:37>> Would you look at them twice?
- 51:39>> What do you mean? I mean, would I be
- 51:41surprised to meet such people?
- 51:43No. I mean, that's what the way
- 51:46I would say the majority
- 51:48of educated black people think is that
- 51:50they have to be constantly protecting
- 51:53their heritage, their rights because
- 51:55they're surrounded by all of these
- 51:57malicious white people, which is
- 51:59complete baloney.
- 52:01Most of the time when people talk about
- 52:03they
- 52:03>> The reason I'm asking is the American
- 52:04Renaissance mission
- 52:06>> Right.
- 52:07>> is to help protect
- 52:10and uh slow down this suicide according
- 52:13to you.
- 52:14>> Yes.
- 52:15>> So if the black people have the right to
- 52:17feel that way and start an organization
- 52:19to advocate
- 52:19>> By all means.
- 52:21>> How do the two live in the same country?
- 52:24>> That's a good question and that's why I
- 52:26said I want voluntary separation. I
- 52:28don't think it's possible to get black
- 52:31people and white people to agree on why
- 52:35black murder rates are higher than white
- 52:37murder rates. I don't think it's
- 52:38possible. Too many black people are
- 52:40convinced somehow it's a legacy of
- 52:42slavery or Jim Crow or whatever it is.
- 52:45Somehow it's white people's fault.
- 52:47You're not going to convince black
- 52:49people that they are responsible for
- 52:51what they're up to unless I believe they
- 52:54are in their own societies where they
- 52:56have their own government, their own
- 52:57courts, their own education. Only then
- 53:00can I
- 53:02I think only then can black people
- 53:04really be free of this chip on their
- 53:07shoulder.
- 53:07>> that?
- 53:07>> I beg your pardon?
- 53:08>> You will support that?
- 53:09>> Of course. Of course.
- 53:11>> is the difference between Malcolm X,
- 53:13Louis Farrakhan, Marcus Garvey and is it
- 53:16Todd Simpson?
- 53:17>> Simpson.
- 53:18>> Uh I need something I need. I've
- 53:20forgotten the last name.
- 53:20>> of Ta-Nehisi Coates? Is that who you're
- 53:22thinking of?
- 53:22>> Yeah.
- 53:22>> No, okay.
- 53:23>> And is that the same kind of
- 53:25>> The three people you just mentioned, the
- 53:27three people you just mentioned, Malcolm
- 53:29X originally was a separatist, but after
- 53:31he went to Mecca and he found blue-eyed
- 53:34uh
- 53:34>> That they can live together, right?
- 53:35>> Muslims, he just said, "Well,
- 53:37maybe
- 53:38>> We can live together.
- 53:38>> Maybe we can live together." Uh before
- 53:40he used to say, "The only thing I like
- 53:42integrated is coffee."
- 53:44>> That's a pretty good line.
- 53:45>> character.
- 53:46>> Uh but
- 53:48Marcus Garvey was the only legitimate
- 53:50one. Marcus Garvey, what was it? "Rise
- 53:53up, you Rise up, you great Rise up, you
- 53:56noble people." He wanted Africans and
- 53:59black people
- 54:00to work
- 54:02and to grasp to have their own
- 54:05initiative, work for their own benefit,
- 54:08and not depend on anybody else, and not
- 54:11blame anybody else. I think Marcus
- 54:14Garvey was a truly great black man.
- 54:17Marcus Garvey had the idea of
- 54:18independent black nations that set their
- 54:21own rules, policed their own
- 54:24misbehavior, and worked for their own
- 54:26greatness. And I say, "God bless you."
- 54:30That is the way I believe black people
- 54:31should think, and that's how they should
- 54:33act. To live in a society where every
- 54:36one of their failures, they're
- 54:37encouraged by white people to blame on
- 54:39somebody else.
- 54:41That's not being a man. That's not
- 54:43growing up. That is being treated like a
- 54:46child your entire life. That is no way
- 54:49to live, and I think if black people had
- 54:51any real pride, they would spit on the
- 54:54idea of living in a society like that.
- 54:56They want to They should want real
- 54:58independence and real freedom. And they
- 55:00can't get that living in this society
- 55:03the way it's structured. Impossible.
- 55:04>> Very good.
- 55:05>> Yes.
- 55:06>> I think many people are going to pick on
- 55:07this point really and want to You agree
- 55:09that the way this place is structured
- 55:13>> It's terrible for black people.
- 55:15>> Which aspect of it?
- 55:16>> The idea that we we treat black people
- 55:19like children.
- 55:20We say to them,
- 55:22"It doesn't make any difference how hard
- 55:24you try. White people are going to hold
- 55:26you back no matter what." What a way
- 55:28What a way to be brought up. What a way
- 55:30to live. We tell them, "This society has
- 55:34persecuted you for 400 years and will
- 55:36continue to persecute you." why would
- 55:38anyone want to live here?
- 55:39>> give me the blueprint. Give me a
- 55:40complete description of an ideal America
- 55:43where there is a black separatist group,
- 55:46but living in America with all its
- 55:47rights and privileges.
- 55:49>> Well, it would be a difficult thing to
- 55:51arrange, but if everyone agreed, well,
- 55:53yes, we should go our own way, then it
- 55:55could be brought about. Small enclaves
- 55:58to begin with, larger, but you asked me
- 56:00about Louis Farrakhan.
- 56:01>> Yeah.
- 56:02>> Louis Farrakhan.
- 56:04That guy is a complete phony.
- 56:06You know, The Final Call is their
- 56:08newspaper. I haven't seen it for a
- 56:10while, but it used to be that in the
- 56:12back page, on the inside, it always
- 56:14said, "These are our demands." And it
- 56:17said, "How can you expect the sons of
- 56:20the slave owners and the sons of the
- 56:22slaves to live together in harmony? They
- 56:25need to separate." His idea, he had
- 56:27various ideas. "Give me all the black
- 56:29people in America and I'll go back to
- 56:30Africa. Or give me a chunk of America
- 56:33and all the black people live there, and
- 56:35you white honkies, you can just do
- 56:37whatever you like."
- 56:38Now, remember the Million Man March?
- 56:41I can't remember what year that was, but
- 56:42>> Maybe '95,
- 56:43>> '96? Well, good for you.
- 56:45>> '95, '96,
- 56:46>> Okay. Very good. Very good.
- 56:48He had all of the world's television
- 56:51cameras beamed on him.
- 56:53>> Oh, yeah.
- 56:53>> He had congressmen sitting on the dais
- 56:55with him, all black, of course. He had
- 56:57the biggest audience he'd ever had in
- 56:59his life.
- 57:00>> That's true.
- 57:00>> And I remember thinking, "Okay. Okay,
- 57:03Louis, baby.
- 57:04Separation. Talk about it. Talk about
- 57:07it." No. He chickened out. He talked
- 57:09about this great spaceship up in the
- 57:11sky, and all of this goofy, goofy stuff.
- 57:14I thought, "What a coward. What a
- 57:17phony." This was his chance to talk
- 57:20about a true destiny of greatness for
- 57:22his people, and he flubbed it. Because I
- 57:25think in his bones, Louis Farrakhan knew
- 57:28perfectly well he's much better off
- 57:30living with white people, keeping whitey
- 57:32on the hop, always reminding them of
- 57:34slavery and how bad white people are.
- 57:37White people come and apologize, "What
- 57:38what else can we do for you next, Mr.
- 57:41Minister Farrakhan?" He realizes he's
- 57:43much better off that way. And I think a
- 57:45lot of black people realize that, too.
- 57:46>> In your line of work for the last 36
- 57:48years
- 57:49>> right.
- 57:49>> in your line of work for the last 36
- 57:51years with American Renaissance, have
- 57:52you had any black organization or
- 57:55individuals who
- 57:58somehow support
- 57:59>> Certainly. Certainly.
- 58:01>> What what what
- 58:02>> We hold conferences every year. We have
- 58:04had black people come to our
- 58:06conferences. There was a black woman who
- 58:08used to come every year.
- 58:10She was a great tall woman. She was
- 58:11about 6'3". Everybody liked her. I don't
- 58:14know why she stopped coming, but
- 58:16everyone thought it was very
- 58:17interesting. There are plenty of
- 58:19non-whites who agree that white people
- 58:23have the right to their own societies,
- 58:26to their own culture, to have a certain
- 58:27amount of pride in their heritage.
- 58:30There are many non-whites. I have a
- 58:32whole file of email messages I've gotten
- 58:35from around the world, from people in
- 58:37India, from people in China, from people
- 58:40in Africa, who say,
- 58:43"American Renaissance, don't give up.
- 58:45The world needs proud white people."
- 58:49It's white people who don't understand
- 58:50this.
- 58:52>> how does the country benefit? Let's say,
- 58:55for example, I don't want to call it a
- 58:56doctrine, but the American Renaissance
- 58:58mission.
- 58:59>> Yes.
- 58:59>> Let's say, like you said,
- 59:01"Oh, it's accepted. People understand it
- 59:03now, and they help make it come about."
- 59:05Which is
- 59:06voluntary
- 59:08>> voluntary separation.
- 59:09>> separation. Yes. Let's say,
- 59:11just like the Chinese have in Chinatown,
- 59:14they don't bother anybody. If you go
- 59:15there, it's fine. Black people who
- 59:17decided First of all,
- 59:19which one is the biggest number
- 59:21population of people that you believe
- 59:23have not segregated themselves? The
- 59:25Japanese live in Little Tokyo in
- 59:27California, the Chinese live in
- 59:28Chinatown, even the Koreans in Flatbush,
- 59:31New York, they have created a community
- 59:33for themselves. So are the Jews. So who
- 59:35is the one who has not segregated
- 59:36himself or lives separately? Yes.
- 59:38>> course. Even white people segregate
- 59:41themselves. Just like Just like Hillary
- 59:43Clinton.
- 59:44>> Yes.
- 59:44>> They just lie to themselves about it.
- 59:47>> Mhm.
- 59:47>> When people leave California, white
- 59:49people leave California, and they end up
- 59:52perhaps in Idaho, or they go to uh some
- 59:55part of northern California, or they go
- 59:57to Oregon,
- 59:59and do you ask them, "Why did they go?"
- 1:00:01And they said, "Oh, there was pollution.
- 1:00:03There was crime. There was traffic."
- 1:00:06They almost never are honest enough to
- 1:00:09say, "My children were minorities in the
- 1:00:12local school district." They're not
- 1:00:14honest. They They won't say at the PTA
- 1:00:17meeting, "We had to have interpreters of
- 1:00:20Farsi and Spanish and Haitian Creole.
- 1:00:24And the teachers are spending all their
- 1:00:26time teaching En- teaching English
- 1:00:28rather than mathematics."
- 1:00:30>> the last frontier, the group of people
- 1:00:32in the last frontier that you would help
- 1:00:34or they have not even thought about it
- 1:00:37to separate themselves voluntarily, is
- 1:00:40black people then.
- 1:00:41>> Oh, black people separate themselves all
- 1:00:43the time.
- 1:00:44>> No, we mean real separation as you see
- 1:00:46with
- 1:00:48uh yeah.
- 1:00:48>> Yeah, I see. Well,
- 1:00:49I think deep in their hearts,
- 1:00:52most black people, if you really sat
- 1:00:55them down and made them think about it,
- 1:00:57would realize that if it were entirely
- 1:00:59up to them
- 1:01:01to keep the lights on, to keep the
- 1:01:03sewers working, to keep the jet engines
- 1:01:06maintained, that they're better off
- 1:01:09living with white people. I think that's
- 1:01:10probably the conclusion most black
- 1:01:14people would arrive at. Now,
- 1:01:17in fact, when you hear the way some
- 1:01:19black people talk about whites,
- 1:01:21just the utter contempt with which they
- 1:01:23describe us. And I could give you
- 1:01:25example after example. Ta-Nehisi Coates,
- 1:01:27for example. He's this great genius,
- 1:01:29MacArthur genius. He wrote this book, uh
- 1:01:31I think uh Letters to His Son, whatever
- 1:01:34it's called. Between something and and
- 1:01:36my son.
- 1:01:37>> Ta-Nehisi?
- 1:01:37>> Ta-Nehisi Coates.
- 1:01:38>> Oh, yeah, Ta-Nehisi.
- 1:01:39>> Ta-Nehisi Coates.
- 1:01:40>> Yes.
- 1:01:41>> Uh one of his uh I think I'm
- 1:01:43I'm not even paraphrasing him. Pretty
- 1:01:44much closing uh quoting him accurately.
- 1:01:46He says,
- 1:01:48"I would like to say that the day will
- 1:01:50come when the people who consider
- 1:01:52themselves
- 1:01:54white give up their demon religion of
- 1:01:58white supremacy and become human.
- 1:02:01But I cannot see that day ever coming."
- 1:02:04What is this? Here's a guy saying white
- 1:02:06people can't even become human. And yet
- 1:02:08white people, they pet him and they
- 1:02:10whoop over him, they slobber over him,
- 1:02:12they give him one award after another.
- 1:02:14What kind of thing is this? Now, a guy
- 1:02:16who thinks that about white people,
- 1:02:18shouldn't he want to separate? If we're
- 1:02:20that bad.
- 1:02:22Or somebody like Brittney Cooper. I
- 1:02:24don't know if you know who she is. She's
- 1:02:25a tenured professor at Rutgers
- 1:02:27University.
- 1:02:28>> Rutgers, yeah.
- 1:02:28>> Yes. She was on a panel and talking
- 1:02:31about just how bad white people are. And
- 1:02:34she says, "Well, the solution we may
- 1:02:36just have to take the
- 1:02:38out." Sorry to use such language, but
- 1:02:40I'm just quoting her.
- 1:02:42>> Sure.
- 1:02:42>> She's talking about exterminating all of
- 1:02:44us.
- 1:02:44Uh that's okay. She didn't lose her job.
- 1:02:46I mean, she's still honored and tenured
- 1:02:49professor.
- 1:02:50I could quote you
- 1:02:52many many such Now, why don't they
- 1:02:55therefore look for independence? Why
- 1:02:58don't they say, "We need our area, our
- 1:03:02universities. We need to be separate
- 1:03:04from these horrible white people." And
- 1:03:05if I said it, if I said, "Look, if we're
- 1:03:08that bad, just let us go our own way."
- 1:03:10Do you think they'd agree?
- 1:03:11No. They'd find some reason not to
- 1:03:14agree.
- 1:03:14>> You'd be canceled.
- 1:03:16>> [laughter]
- 1:03:16>> I've heard enough and
- 1:03:19I don't
- 1:03:21I'm still thinking.
- 1:03:23>> Mhm.
- 1:03:23>> Jared, is it possible, two things, that
- 1:03:27if this is your message, in fact, I I I
- 1:03:29was quite pleased with this because I
- 1:03:30share that sentiment. You said, if a
- 1:03:33people will continue to look at one
- 1:03:34group and treat them like children by
- 1:03:36saying, "Oh, poor you. We are sorry."
- 1:03:38>> Yeah.
- 1:03:38>> You are not doing any good to that
- 1:03:40group. Now, like you said from the
- 1:03:41beginning, humans by nature are herd.
- 1:03:45>> Yeah.
- 1:03:45>> to flock together. If the message is
- 1:03:47popular, I'll come along with it. Nobody
- 1:03:49has the time to stop to think what
- 1:03:51damage is it doing to us.
- 1:03:52>> Right.
- 1:03:53>> I've said it so many times with the
- 1:03:54young people that I mentor.
- 1:03:56>> Mhm.
- 1:03:56>> Once you begin to feel sorry for
- 1:03:58yourself, anywhere you go, people will
- 1:04:00stay away from you because you have no
- 1:04:02confidence to make them want to work
- 1:04:04with you. So, what you're saying is one
- 1:04:07is one you're talking about slow down
- 1:04:09the dispossession of this country
- 1:04:10because whites created their country.
- 1:04:12They should be able to remain the
- 1:04:14majority.
- 1:04:14>> Yes.
- 1:04:15>> But, the problem, Jared, that you have
- 1:04:17not provided a solution. There is no
- 1:04:19way, even the number of immigrants you
- 1:04:21have now in the United States, you're
- 1:04:23not going to give more money to the
- 1:04:26Planned Parenthood
- 1:04:29to mute everyone.
- 1:04:30>> Well.
- 1:04:31>> What are you going to do to stop
- 1:04:33the production and the birth rate and
- 1:04:36everything?
- 1:04:37>> As I said, it would be impractical and
- 1:04:41immoral to say, "Okay, we're going to
- 1:04:43take the whole country back." In 1860,
- 1:04:46we were 90% of the population. We're
- 1:04:48going to turn back the clock and become
- 1:04:5090% or maybe 100%. That's not practical
- 1:04:54and it's not moral. As I said, there are
- 1:04:56certain people here who have a claim on
- 1:04:57North America,
- 1:04:59and you have to respect that claim.
- 1:05:01>> Okay, but what to do to slow down the
- 1:05:02suicide is what?
- 1:05:04>> Well, obviously, stop immigration.
- 1:05:06>> I see.
- 1:05:06>> And also, expel every single illegal
- 1:05:10immigrant.
- 1:05:10>> Okay.
- 1:05:11>> Expel people who lied on their
- 1:05:14naturalization requests.
- 1:05:16And I think that it would be possible to
- 1:05:19build in incentives for people to go
- 1:05:21even if they were naturalized citizens.
- 1:05:24>> Okay.
- 1:05:25>> Also, get rid of birthright citizenship.
- 1:05:27This thing is kooky crazy. Practically
- 1:05:29no Well, there there's still a few
- 1:05:30countries who have that.
- 1:05:31>> means that the parents are not
- 1:05:33Americans. Just because you were born
- 1:05:35here, they came across the border.
- 1:05:36>> That's right.
- 1:05:37>> And if you are born here, you are an
- 1:05:38American. Okay.
- 1:05:39>> this means is if a pregnant Guatemalan
- 1:05:42woman staggers across the border and
- 1:05:44makes it to an American hospital and has
- 1:05:46a baby, that baby's a US citizen. Even
- 1:05:48if she has no right to be in the United
- 1:05:50States. What happens
- 1:05:50>> came on vacation to your house for 5
- 1:05:52days and while I was there I gave birth
- 1:05:54to my son in your house, you better be
- 1:05:56sure that he's included in the will.
- 1:05:58>> Yes, exactly. Well, that's a good way of
- 1:05:59putting it. [laughter]
- 1:06:00Excellent.
- 1:06:01>> Well, let me put This is nuts.
- 1:06:03>> Okay. This is nuts. And there are
- 1:06:05millions of white people who will say,
- 1:06:08"Well, that's America. We have to do it
- 1:06:11that way." Why they think that way, I
- 1:06:13don't know.
- 1:06:15But but in any case, I recognize it is a
- 1:06:18difficult problem. The idea of
- 1:06:21separation in any substantial way is not
- 1:06:24easy. But as Abraham Lincoln said when
- 1:06:27he was talking about colonizing black
- 1:06:29people outside of the United States,
- 1:06:32where there is a will, there is a way.
- 1:06:35If enough people agree, then we can
- 1:06:37arrange separation at least at the local
- 1:06:40level and gradually expanding areas.
- 1:06:43Now, I I'm not saying Well, in France in
- 1:06:46France or Germany in Europe, they talk
- 1:06:48about remigration. Sending immigrants
- 1:06:50back. Well, it's too late for that here
- 1:06:53in the United States. There is already
- 1:06:55>> Europe can do it?
- 1:06:56>> I think they can, yes. Depending on the
- 1:06:58country.
- 1:06:58>> Listening to you as a black man or as an
- 1:07:00African, let me be very clear. You know,
- 1:07:02black, you kind of
- 1:07:04I haven't found anything offensive. So,
- 1:07:06I'm here sitting down and thinking
- 1:07:09if white people are that smart, which
- 1:07:11they've said they are, how come majority
- 1:07:13of you have made these dumb
- 1:07:16decisions that now is causing suicide
- 1:07:18slowly? However, here's what I'm
- 1:07:19thinking.
- 1:07:20>> Yes.
- 1:07:21>> Jared, it's possible that one, you have
- 1:07:23a very bad
- 1:07:25um skill of delivering your message or
- 1:07:27people don't like you for your wardrobe.
- 1:07:29It may be one of this. Because I haven't
- 1:07:31seen anything to really vehemently
- 1:07:33disagree with anything that offended in
- 1:07:36what you say you're doing. Now, I
- 1:07:38watched your 60 Minutes ABC
- 1:07:41uh interview.
- 1:07:42>> Yeah.
- 1:07:43>> As a journalist, it was painful. Um
- 1:07:47She said
- 1:07:48she said, "Just merely you say what you
- 1:07:51have said now would last 45 minutes."
- 1:07:54That, "Look, I'm only talking about
- 1:07:56let's go slow so that we don't we don't
- 1:07:58sink the entire ship." is what you're
- 1:08:00saying. She said, "Don't you think that
- 1:08:02saying this would offend black people?"
- 1:08:06Why didn't she say it would offend
- 1:08:08Latinos?
- 1:08:09She didn't say it would offend Asians,
- 1:08:11but all these people are also Americans,
- 1:08:13right? She didn't say it would offend
- 1:08:15Middle East. Why did she say it would
- 1:08:17offend black people?
- 1:08:19>> Because
- 1:08:21black-white relations have been the most
- 1:08:24prominent and significant racial fault
- 1:08:27line in American history.
- 1:08:28>> That's true.
- 1:08:29>> Now, we have had black white and Indian
- 1:08:32relations ever since 1690 1607,
- 1:08:36Jamestown.
- 1:08:37>> Yeah.
- 1:08:37>> But it is the black and white conflict
- 1:08:40that
- 1:08:41directly or indirectly led to the Civil
- 1:08:43War, largest casualties of any war, more
- 1:08:47than all of them put together, all the
- 1:08:49riots, urban riots, the black and white
- 1:08:52dynamic is really the fundamental racial
- 1:08:55problem in the United States. None of
- 1:08:57the others are
- 1:08:59equally important. Now, to me it was
- 1:09:01idiotic after having had a difficult
- 1:09:04minority in the form of blacks to then
- 1:09:06say, "Okay, well, now we're going to get
- 1:09:07Hispanics, we're going to get Asians,
- 1:09:09we're going to get subcontinental
- 1:09:10Indians." And we set the we set the
- 1:09:12example for the rest of the world. Look
- 1:09:14at Canada. Canada's committing suicide
- 1:09:16even more rapidly than we are. Come on,
- 1:09:18Sikhs.
- 1:09:19>> Every day I wake up I'm seeing news
- 1:09:21clips from Canada. I've seen Sikhs from
- 1:09:24India.
- 1:09:25>> Yeah.
- 1:09:25>> Now, like almost they feel like they are
- 1:09:26at home with swords in public place.
- 1:09:29>> Yes.
- 1:09:29>> I'm not saying liberals travel this
- 1:09:31country.
- 1:09:32>> You know, they're about this long. But
- 1:09:33anyway,
- 1:09:33>> It was Garry Davis, right? Garry Davis
- 1:09:35in 1960-72, when he wrote his 13
- 1:09:38principles of human rights. You remember
- 1:09:40Garry Davis, the
- 1:09:41who started the WSA, World Service
- 1:09:44Authority Passport, the passport without
- 1:09:46country?
- 1:09:46>> Garry Davis? No, never heard of him. No.
- 1:09:48>> No kidding.
- 1:09:49>> Sorry. Yeah.
- 1:09:50>> I was one of the first recipients of the
- 1:09:52the WSA passport. Yeah, world world
- 1:09:55passport.
- 1:09:55>> Who who honors it? Probably nobody.
- 1:09:58>> Nobody. I couldn't cross the Nigerian
- 1:09:59border with
- 1:10:00>> The WSA passport.
- 1:10:00>> I said that.
- 1:10:01Anyway, he fought a good fight. He went
- 1:10:03to the United Nations and he wrote the
- 1:10:0413 principles of what? Human rights. I
- 1:10:07agree with him. He included immigration
- 1:10:09is a human right. Humans always migrate
- 1:10:12to one place and all that. However, what
- 1:10:14is not human right
- 1:10:15>> Yeah.
- 1:10:16>> is that you come to my country,
- 1:10:17>> Right.
- 1:10:18>> you are free to migrate and ask me for
- 1:10:20residency and I'll give it to you. But
- 1:10:21to try to reorganize the furniture of my
- 1:10:24house is not human right.
- 1:10:26It's not even a privilege.
- 1:10:28But
- 1:10:29moving around, yes, we should consider
- 1:10:31it a human right because it's in our
- 1:10:33nature. We've been moving like this
- 1:10:34right from the time we were created. But
- 1:10:36if you go to Like for example, Konishiki
- 1:10:39and Akebono, for those of you who knows
- 1:10:41sumo very well, these two powerful sumo
- 1:10:44wrestlers came to Japan at the age of
- 1:10:49Konishiki came at the age of 17. Akebono
- 1:10:51came later on, I believe. And they
- 1:10:54proudly represented thousands of years
- 1:10:57of tradition. And yet they were not
- 1:10:58giving citizenship by the Japanese
- 1:11:00government. But they never go to the
- 1:11:02small ring with a higher Hawaiian or
- 1:11:04American flag, you know, showing that we
- 1:11:07are Americans. They embraced Japan, they
- 1:11:09married Japanese women, and they lived
- 1:11:11in Japan, and they supported everything.
- 1:11:13So yes, even if countries should open
- 1:11:15their doors for migrants to come in,
- 1:11:17it's fine. We all do it. But what is
- 1:11:19becoming a problem is when they arrive
- 1:11:22and then want to reorganize the
- 1:11:23furniture of the place. I think that is
- 1:11:25one of the concerns you have also about
- 1:11:28uh
- 1:11:28the whole Konishiki, Akebono question is
- 1:11:32an interesting one, but let me
- 1:11:35get back to the whole question of
- 1:11:36migration as a human right.
- 1:11:38>> Right.
- 1:11:38>> I say not just no.
- 1:11:40>> Okay.
- 1:11:40>> I say hell no.
- 1:11:42Because it's not just a question of
- 1:11:45rearranging the furniture. Let's imagine
- 1:11:47that you, say 20 years ago,
- 1:11:50you want to emigrate to Sweden.
- 1:11:53>> Yeah.
- 1:11:54>> In those days, Sweden had a welfare
- 1:11:56system.
- 1:11:57And according to that welfare system,
- 1:12:00the government looked after you very
- 1:12:02careful. They called it cradle to grave.
- 1:12:04If you didn't have a job, it looked
- 1:12:06after you. If you committed a crime, it
- 1:12:08tried very hard rehabilitate you.
- 1:12:11You don't have the same kind of welfare
- 1:12:13system in Sweden anymore. You know why?
- 1:12:15One of the reasons is so many people
- 1:12:17came from around the world that that did
- 1:12:20not work. And their mere presence made
- 1:12:23that impossible.
- 1:12:24>> Then if you say hell no to immigration
- 1:12:26as a human right, revolt me.
- 1:12:27>> Oh, it's not it's not a human right at
- 1:12:29all.
- 1:12:30>> If you say hell no to immigration as a
- 1:12:32human right,
- 1:12:32>> Yes.
- 1:12:33>> then how did the Europeans end up here?
- 1:12:35>> How they end up here? It was not
- 1:12:36immigration, it was conquest.
- 1:12:39They took it by force.
- 1:12:41>> Not the first ones.
- 1:12:42>> What? What do you mean?
- 1:12:43>> You mean the first group of uh uh uh
- 1:12:45Europeans or English people who left the
- 1:12:48monarchy to say we are seeking for a
- 1:12:49free and a better land.
- 1:12:50>> Yeah, they took it from the Indians.
- 1:12:52>> The rules were different in those days.
- 1:12:54People just took things by force.
- 1:12:56>> They took things by force. So, you're
- 1:12:57saying that form of even conquest was
- 1:12:59wrong or that is different from
- 1:13:01immigration?
- 1:13:02>> Oh, it's completely different from
- 1:13:03immigration.
- 1:13:04>> it different from immigration?
- 1:13:05>> How is it?
- 1:13:05>> Why do they describe this country as
- 1:13:07country of immigrants? Because those who
- 1:13:08came here, they didn't just take it and
- 1:13:11go back like the Mongols did, Jared.
- 1:13:13>> This is a nation. My ancestors were not
- 1:13:16immigrants. My ancestors were pioneers,
- 1:13:19explorers, builders. There was no
- 1:13:22country to come to. The idea that people
- 1:13:25who came here in 1607 are immigrants?
- 1:13:28>> Okay, so you're saying the word
- 1:13:29immigrant means that people who move to
- 1:13:31an established country where there's a
- 1:13:33process for you to become an immigrant
- 1:13:35or a resident. Now, that is clarified.
- 1:13:37>> of a nation of immigrants, what baloney.
- 1:13:40Every nation, at some point, it should
- 1:13:42have the option of stopping being a
- 1:13:45nation of immigrants if a bunch of
- 1:13:46immigrants have come in. The idea that
- 1:13:48because we had immigrants, we always
- 1:13:50have to have immigrants? This is just
- 1:13:51nuts. But,
- 1:13:53the rules were different. Now, I'm not
- 1:13:55saying it was correct. In the Jamestown
- 1:13:58colony, the Jamestown colony has a very
- 1:14:01interesting history. When the English
- 1:14:03came, the Spaniards had already been in
- 1:14:06America for 100 years. And they had a
- 1:14:09reputation of being very cruel to the
- 1:14:11Indians.
- 1:14:12The English, they said, "We're not like
- 1:14:14the Spaniards. We are better people. We
- 1:14:16are going to come in peace." And when
- 1:14:18they came to Jamestown, they very
- 1:14:20carefully found a place that was
- 1:14:22uninhabited. They thought it was
- 1:14:24unclaimed. And the guy who was running
- 1:14:28the place, his name was Wingfield. He
- 1:14:30was the top dog of the Jamestown colony.
- 1:14:33He said, "Because we come in peace, we
- 1:14:35will build no walls.
- 1:14:37We will not have any training in
- 1:14:39weapons." Well, they were not even there
- 1:14:41for 2 weeks.
- 1:14:43The Jamestown colony It even 2 weeks old
- 1:14:47before the local Indians decided to
- 1:14:49attack and exterminate the entire
- 1:14:51colony.
- 1:14:52And if it hadn't been for an alert
- 1:14:54colonist who went on board one of the
- 1:14:56boats the colonists came in and fired
- 1:14:58off the cannon and panicked the Indians,
- 1:15:01that would have been the end of the
- 1:15:03Jamestown colony.
- 1:15:04And then there were two subsequent
- 1:15:06occasions over the years after the
- 1:15:08Jamestown colony was established when
- 1:15:11the Indians decided, "We've got to try
- 1:15:13one more time. Get rid of these
- 1:15:15English." And on the first occasion they
- 1:15:17killed about 300 of them and on the
- 1:15:19second occasion they killed about 500.
- 1:15:22And finally the English got angry and
- 1:15:24they went on the warpath against the
- 1:15:26Indians and pretty much exterminated
- 1:15:27them. But it was strictly a power play.
- 1:15:31It was not immigration. It was conquest.
- 1:15:34>> Conquest.
- 1:15:34>> And the important aspect of it is that
- 1:15:39the Indians resisted with every possible
- 1:15:42force they had. They tried to
- 1:15:44exterminate the English. So this has
- 1:15:46nothing to do with immigration. This is
- 1:15:49conquest and resistance to conquest.
- 1:15:53>> Well,
- 1:15:54history is a very tricky thing.
- 1:15:57Um you can look at it and use it for
- 1:15:59good. You can look at it and use it for
- 1:16:02evil. Number two, the interpretation of
- 1:16:04history since it passes from one hand to
- 1:16:06another and to another and to another.
- 1:16:08But
- 1:16:09in my travels and living in many
- 1:16:11countries, there is something in me
- 1:16:13that is very stubborn.
- 1:16:15And I still think that the United States
- 1:16:18has a unique position.
- 1:16:20>> Mhm.
- 1:16:21>> The storm goes up and it always comes
- 1:16:24down again. I think
- 1:16:25>> The storm goes up?
- 1:16:26>> Yeah, the storm would go up. You would
- 1:16:29think there's an upheaval. You think
- 1:16:31this is the end of the United States. We
- 1:16:33had the '60s, the war protest and you
- 1:16:36know, pacifist versus war. And then we
- 1:16:38had the hippies movement and then we had
- 1:16:40the and we thought, "Oh, this is going
- 1:16:42to be the life of everyone. Uh and the
- 1:16:44country has a way of calming the storm,
- 1:16:48whether it's natural, whether it's in
- 1:16:49build, I'm not sure. But, I think also
- 1:16:53what we are experiencing today,
- 1:16:57it's also a phase.
- 1:17:00And
- 1:17:01maybe
- 1:17:02>> Well, certainly nations do go through
- 1:17:04phases.
- 1:17:05>> Yes.
- 1:17:06>> And the United States will survive as a
- 1:17:09land mass. There's no question about
- 1:17:11that.
- 1:17:12>> Right.
- 1:17:12>> I think that the idea of the United
- 1:17:14States just completely disappearing is
- 1:17:17very unlikely. But,
- 1:17:19what I care about is the survival of my
- 1:17:21people and my civilization.
- 1:17:23>> Oh, yes. And I think anyone
- 1:17:26who is honest enough
- 1:17:28to hear somebody
- 1:17:29with these sentiments and being honest
- 1:17:31about it, and we should encourage these
- 1:17:35types of discussions. I've always said,
- 1:17:37it doesn't change it whether you call
- 1:17:41Jared names like a supremacist and a
- 1:17:43racist, wouldn't change the fact that
- 1:17:46what is going to be is going to be.
- 1:17:49>> And also, the United States today is
- 1:17:52probably more divided in terms of
- 1:17:55politics, of race, of culture than at
- 1:17:58any time since before the Civil War.
- 1:18:01If you look at the way Democrats and
- 1:18:04Republicans think about each other, the
- 1:18:05kinds of motives they attribute to each
- 1:18:07other, there is a deep deep hostility.
- 1:18:11>> Yes, there is.
- 1:18:12>> And if we continue in this way, maybe
- 1:18:14the United States really will fall
- 1:18:16apart. I do not anticipate a full-scale
- 1:18:18civil war of armies meeting in the
- 1:18:20field. No, that's not going to happen.
- 1:18:22But,
- 1:18:23>> the kind of hostility that Democrats
- 1:18:27feel for Republicans in Congress and
- 1:18:30locally, this is this is it's never been
- 1:18:33this bad before in the United States.
- 1:18:35It's getting worse.
- 1:18:37How will this be resolved? I really
- 1:18:39don't know.
- 1:18:40Donald Trump, of course, is doing some
- 1:18:43things that I think I would do if I were
- 1:18:46president, but he is probably the most
- 1:18:48hated man in American history. I don't
- 1:18:50think anyone's been hated more.
- 1:18:53And this is this is not a good thing.
- 1:18:56Not a good thing. You can't build a
- 1:18:58society out of groups that are so
- 1:19:02fundamentally at odds with each other.
- 1:19:05Hate each other in a hostile A nation
- 1:19:06cannot survive that way.
- 1:19:08>> And on that note, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:19:10you've heard it like I promised you, I
- 1:19:12will lead the conversation so you can
- 1:19:15hear it from the horse's own mouth. I've
- 1:19:19tried to push back and just get you more
- 1:19:21out of Jared and I don't think he has
- 1:19:24disappointed. I've read his books and
- 1:19:26the guy sounds just like Donald Trump
- 1:19:29sounded in 1983 about China and about
- 1:19:32NATO. He has been saying this since he
- 1:19:34was 54 years old that that's Donald
- 1:19:36Trump and he said the same thing in
- 1:19:382016. 35 years ago he said the same
- 1:19:41things you've heard today in his books.
- 1:19:42For me I say that is the honesty as much
- 1:19:45as you can get from anyone. So go to the
- 1:19:47comment section and let me know what you
- 1:19:50think for those of you who have read,
- 1:19:52who have heard straight from the horse's
- 1:19:53own mouth what you think about
- 1:19:56Jared Taylor [music]
- 1:19:57and does he deserve the names he
- 1:20:01he's called and the pushback and the
- 1:20:04violence and cancelled in many banks and
- 1:20:07stuff like that. I want to hear your
- 1:20:08voice. And if you think [music] that I
- 1:20:10should bring him back more for more
- 1:20:11talks
- 1:20:12like this. We need to repair our
- 1:20:15relationships in the United States of
- 1:20:16America. For those of us who are natural
- 1:20:18citizens, birthright citizens, original
- 1:20:21citizens, whatever citizenship it is, we
- 1:20:23need to work to repair it because for
- 1:20:26now
- 1:20:28this I think it's one of the most
- 1:20:31progressive places that you can have a
- 1:20:33true human right and opportunity in the
- 1:20:37United States of America. I thank you
