Mediterranean Cuisine Peak Stupidity Trifecta

Wow! In addition to being a "pop-up" Peak Stupidity Curmudeonry post - not one of our posts that is waiting in the wings - within 5 measly minutes, 3 of our niche topics presented themselves to us. The Zen of Stupidity, it was.
I attempted to get some reasonably healthful food at the hub airport. While avoiding Wendy's, Chick-Fil-A and all that, I came to a place I frequented a number of time ~ 6 years ago, while doing a lot of traveling through there. Mediterranean folks eat well, don't they? I could pretend it's healthful anyway, and it was so tasty. Also, they dished out a lot of grub, while getting me out of there for 8 to 9 bucks, tax included.
1) INFLATION: You know the drill here. It's difficult to avoid the accusations of cherry-picking, though we've never actually done any apples-to-apples comparison of cherry prices;-} We've had plenty of discussion of the BLS inflation "basket of goods" and more, so it's not all just random outrage. Anyway, I notice what I notice. After having enjoyed this food a number of times, I noticed the prices up $2 after a year or so and, probably worse in terms of value, the portions had gone down to 75%, maybe less, of what I'd previously enjoyed.
That was it. It had been nice while it lasted. I just came by after ~ 5 years though. Now, for that same type of meal, one isn't getting out of there for under $19 after tax. Hit me, Money Chimp: 14% average annual inflation taking into account compounding. That's off on the low side, as I didn't take the portion size decrease into account. If the quantity of food is only down by 25% (I doubt that), we get 19%!
2) COMPETENCE: This subject that we've covered for a couple of years now is called a "crisis" of competence often. I don't like that usage, as crisis has a connotation of something being temporary. Nah, it ain't.
I was not going for that $19 meal, but it didn't matter, as the place was out of half the ingredients anyway. This is a big hub airport - they are just throwing away money in rent. Customers in front of me were being told what was missing and then dropping out of the line. There was no point. This was not the fault of the one diverse lady there doing the serving and check-out duties. (Their problem was more that there was no competent old White guy running the place.) I did notice this woman's plastic badge, though. I kid you not, it said "I don't know. I just work here.". That was always supposed to be in fun, was it not? That joke does not work here anymore.
3) CASH IS KING: Well, that was nice for me, at least. I had the place to myself, seeing as how everyone had bailed. I only wanted what they did have, that healthful Mediterranean snack of a small cup of hummus and piece of pita bread, so this lady got to it. She put it on a plate.
That'd be "this many dollars"* was pretty much it, as she just pointed to the card reader without any price stated. I handed her a fiver. "No?" "It's card only." "How much is it, 3 bucks, right? Here you go." (I didn't care where the money went.) No can do. She stood firm, so there's a piece of pita bread and some hummus sitting there, or already in the trash. I've got cans of tuna fish, so ... it's all GOOD. Is it?
How can Peak Stupidity keep up with the news today, as we ran into a Trifecta of Stupidity.

Rotherham Riots: Two-Tier Policing
Posted On: Thursday - August 8th 2024 12:03PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Globalists Anarcho-tyranny World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
(Continued from Enough is Enough! - - The Rising of the Yorkshiremen and The Cops.)
To the right in this image, the Rotherham rioters had just busted up that narrow plate glass window, using asphalt, stone, and wood as their implements of destruction. That opening got them to the hotel's lobby, I guess, as they were able to pull out various chairs. The small contingent of cops there, with their helmets and shields, were up against the wall, but they could have easily walked off to the right. A large number of them were around the corner. There was nothing stopping them from retreating but their "duty" to the realm. They weren't stopping the hotel from getting smashed up through a cinder-block wall (not bloody likely) either, as the rioters could already get in.
When it comes down to it, other than that these cops were in the way and acting traitorously toward their countrymen, I don't think the rioting Brits hated them here. The former were just extremely angry, having been at wits end for years, no, decades, in trying to stop the cultural and physical destruction of the UK. Enough is Enough! Chairs and rocks gotta fly. (Stuff has to burn too - that was later.)
The hate could be for the masses of alien Moslems, people that should not have EVER been residing in the UK like this. This was a *** hotel they'd attacked, after all, one housing Moslem aliens at no charge. However, on calmer days, I doubt these White folks have much hate for most of the normal working-man Moslems even. The large proportion of the hate should be, and probably is, directed at the Globalist scum, such as newcomer, 20%-of-the-populace-elected Totalitarian Kier Starmer. Thing is, they couldn't get quite so close to 10 Downing Street, that's all.
Our 1st post on this matter pointed out the Orwellian biased press coverage. Something else that's been discussed, where one can actually discuss it, is "Two-Tiered Policing". That's the term in use over there, and Peak Stupidity ain't gonna change it, but (Sam Francis-coined) "Anarcho-Tyranny" is a better and more over-arching term for what's been going on in the UK. The use of Two-Tiered Policing seems recent to me, yet the "policy" goes back a long ways.
The British police have dealt with violent Moslem rioters over the years too, much more so, in fact, since that's who normally does the rioting. All it takes - just very recent events - is for a Moslem family's children to be taken by CPS (no opinion on the specific details) for riots to start, and then another I'd heard about involving a Moslem beating down a British cop at the airport. I suppose the cops will defend property against destruction some of the time - hard to get pictures showing otherwise, of course - but there's a fundamental difference.
These guys in Rotherham have the whole system after them at this point. Even were it not for the top-level J6-style Orwellianism, the local police will arrest and charge the normally (formerly?) law-abiding British people. The CPS incident resulted in the children being sent back. (Nice work! This doesn't work for White Brits, though) The 2nd one resulted in no charges on the Moslem for beating down a lady* cop, resulting in a broken nose. How'd the latter work out for a White guy who'd lobbed a piece of asphalt more accurately?
Maybe the general population of the UK hasn't been aware for as long as your VDare people and Enoch Powell, but they've had to have seen the drastic changes from the PRP for 2 decades now, and certainly 1. Why have there been no riots yet? There've been plenty of other incidents of Moslem/alien violence that could have triggered them. The reason riots like this haven't happened is, there you go, that Two-Tiered Policing, but more broadly, Anarcho-Tyranny.
Law abiding White Brits don't generally riot, 'cause, ILLEGAL. Were they to do so, they would and will expect and get that law & order, and in spades. That's what it is in a country with Rule of Law, inn't it, Gov'nah? Yet, the authorities won't treat aliens with same way, 'cause, FEAR. Yes, that's fear of the masses of Moslems that don't go so much for that Rule of Law business and also fear of being seen as anti-Woke, pro-White, and worst, anti-Regime.
Can you imagine if these people where White and one did ctrl-r's to the signs thusly: (Islam/Muslims = White People) (Crusaders = Invaders) (Jihad = Deportations) (Shaykh = J6 Political Prisoners)?
This outcry about Two-Tiered Policing is right and just and overdue. However, Anarcho-Tyranny covers much more that their term doesn't. These White Brits surely see it, but what about the fact that these foreigners, having invaded their land in boats or Chunnel trains, are being put up for nothing using their own hard-earned, hard-stolen tax money?! How about that these folks haven't been arrested for trespassing when they broke in to begin with? How about the taxpayer money used, not to at least, pay for deportation courts, but to help them get citizenship as part of the PRP?!
Well, maybe they'll come up with more terms to cover the rest. Globalism, Totalitarianism, Orwellian Police Statism, and, if nothing else, Communism, will surely do for now. I hope this fight continues... more on that score...
* Yep, we'll get to that post.

It's portals all the way down!

"We're going paperless.", I'm told, nearly every day now. No, you can't write a check. No, you can't bring the form in person.
OK, we can't continue to live in the '70s. I! GET! THAT! [/old FOX-era Tucker] What used to be "our website" is now "our portal", meaning, what? You can use the app, I guess and maybe cannot use a browser even? It just sounds more modern, is all... That's what it's about. "Don't have a portal? OK, Boomers!"
This particular portal was an entryway that led to our boy being able to play organized sports. It's paperless. Here went. I know longer pick anything but simple obvious passwords now, with too damn many of these things, so if someone decides to hack in and take him off the soccer team, so be it - it's nothing but Communist Kickball anyway.
Then, I'm in, through the portal. It wasn't too bad. There was then that "physical" page, so I got out the tape measure and the blood pressure machine, and put him on the scale. Ooops, but you've got to print this out, and, ooops, go to the doctor.... with... a form.
The doctors' office told us we couldn't just up and come in, because this boy hasn't been there in so long we gotta catch up.* That required going through their portal... cause, they're like... paperless.
This one was much worse. It'll require a 2nd post for some funny and PS-adjacent stuff, but let me say that "2 surveys" turned into 5, one of them with 50 questions or more. That was over half an hour. Through the portal, and around the 6 million dollar flower pots, to the doctor's office we go ... ♫ ♪ ♬
The one Doc I remembered from before, a good guy, was there on a stool in a common area typing stuff into a computer. Seeing as how I had a clipboard in my hand, I asked "I thought we'd gone paperless?" He liked that one.
To be fair, SOME of the papers on the clipboard were for insurance stuff. How lucky was I that I didn't have to get on the insurance company's portal!
It's simple, sonny, whaddya' need a refresher class?
Here's the original:
I read this on Instapundit first. To keep it short:
After a lecture on Cosmology, the Professor was questioned by a little old lady. "Your theory that the sun is the center of the solar system and the earth is a ball which rotates around it has a very convincing ring to it, Professor, but it's wrong. I've got a better theory", she said.
"And what is that, madam?" inquired James politely."
"That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a giant turtle."
The Professor decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.
"If your theory is correct, Madam," he asked, "what does this turtle stand on?"
"You're a very clever man, Sir, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first turtle stands on the back of a second, far larger, turtle, who stands directly under him."
"But what does this second turtle stand on?" persisted the Professor, patiently.
To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,
"Why, simple! It's turtles all the way down."

Rotherham Riots - The Cops
Posted On: Wednesday - August 7th 2024 12:10PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Globalists Anarcho-tyranny World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
Note: They'll be a handful of posts on the Rotherham riots in particular, among the widespread anti-PRP (Population Replacement Programme) riots going on in the UK. We'll concentrate on the video we discussed on Monday, but more good news will surely be proclaimed here.
Yes, this is all good news and something for the rest of the White Western world to enjoy and learn from. The British people can not fight the Globalist evil by voting.*. I'm pretty sure that realization is much of the impetus for these riots.
It's more than just good news. All this is glorious to see!
These guys are explaining to these police officers a number of things, much which is lost in translation to me. From what I did catch during this hour and a half (and other videos), the rioters, being for the most part, almost solely, the same people as these cops, want to reason with them as fellow Brits. Why are you cops out here in our faces today? Don't you understand that you are working completely against your own people here? What about our children? What about YOUR children, Mr. Starmer's enforcers ?
I know the much of the answers. Well-paying jobs. Pensions. There's more. Other than were it the women cops (fairly cute, I might add, but more on them later), I can see one of these guys feeling it cowardly to all march away, especially once the protest got more... riotous. These guys are decked out in their body armor, with helmets and plexiglas shields. This is not 1965 during the Vietnam War, with long-haired young ladies, and men, sticking flowers into gun muzzles. 6 decades later, the UK and the US are much more Police State-adjacent for that to happen.
Yet, rather than be a question of duty and honor, the "Domino Effect", and Lyndon Johnson's wanting o finish what was started vs. peace and quit-being-the-world's policeman", these people facing off are truly on the same side in ideology, culture, and blood... on EVERYTHING. That these cops didn't stand down or better yet, refuse to come out there at all, says lots about how our Regimes have have gotten control of society.
He was one of the many police officers that can be seen interacting (like that one!) with rightfully angry Brits outside the Holiday Inn Express housing alien people that day.
It's within a couple of minutes of the 8 minutes into the video I captured here that there's a younger cop - darker beard - who verbally agreed with the rioters. ( I caught some of it, but c'mon, please, blokes, speak fooking English!) He says something to the effect of agreeing, but then, there's a "but..." I don't know. "It's just our job, mate!" or something, he said.
Well, again, I tried to make out what I could***, but I noted the look on this guy's face. Can I tell from a face that a guy does not look like a dummy? He doesn't. He's got to agree with the rioters at some deep level, maybe even that they are in the right on this particular day too, in wanting to smash the hotel and wanting masses of foreign aliens OUT, out of the British lands. In this scene, it seems like this cop was mulling this over. (This was before things got heated and there was no mulling over anything.)
His walking off right there would be seen as cowardice only by those who miss the whole big picture. In fact, it would have been a very brave thing. It could have started a change in the action that day. One step of this sort would truly scare the BeJesus out of the Starmer Regime. It could be the start of Glorious Revolution 2.0!
Even more so than it'd be for an uprising like this in America***, in Rotherham, and other locations I've observed, the rioters and the local law are almost all one in the same in culture and blood. Will the cops decide to stay at the station next time? Better, yet, I'd love to see them join in!! The pressure on local cops from the Regime to enforce the Globalist PRP and to go Orwellian and Totalitarian on these "Far Right" "racist" "thugs"**** is tremendous, I'm sure. The Regime doesn't want things like this to keep happening.
Well, this post was to discuss "Two-Tier Policing", but we didn't get that far. This series about Rotherham will continue. As I've written, this is THE important story right now. Here's hoping it stays that.
* I didn't comment on this last time, but this traitorous scum Starmer got 1/3 of the votes cast recently and is now in charge of the country. As with these riots too, it's not the one thing (this one election).
** We'll have more on this, but there'd be a fundamental difference, IMO: Guns.
*** It was a little like listening to Peter Brimelow - same accent (northern England), come to think of it. Miss 1 or 2 words, and the rest turns to muck in my mind. Sorry! It's not you, it's me. ;-}
**** Sorry, but "thugs" always brings up ghetto dweller Black! folks in my mind. Can White people even BE thugs? What does Webster say...?

Crash, my ash!

Oh, it's coming, all right. However, this 2,100 point drop over 5 days, including the 1,000 point drop in one day is peanuts. Let's think proportions - out of 40,000, that's 5% and 2 1/2%, respectively.
I imagine there are financial people out there who've been in this business a long time. In the 1980s, those 2 drops would mean 90 points / 45 points. That'd be a "Big day for the Dow.", but no kind of news story. By fall of '87, the Dow had ramped up 44% in 7 months, but there was that October 19th "Black Monday" crash. "OMG, 508 points!" Not many stock brokers worked in tall buildings with working windows anymore, by 1987. So, we had that going for us ... but that one was a 22.6% drop. That drop would be an 8 to 9 thousand point drop today. (Maybe tomorrow.)
In the early/mid '90's, this 5% drop would be 200-odd points, and in the 8 year early 21st century market, we're talking 500 points. Do people not remember this?
Listen, this is Peak Stupidity. We've been all over this Global Financial Stupidity business for almost 8 years now.* 5% in a week, or 2 1/2% in a day is NOT a crash. We'll tell you when we're having a crash!... so long as GoDaddy has still got power...

Rotherham Riot Movie: Rising of the Yorkshiremen
Posted On: Monday - August 5th 2024 7:32AM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Globalists Anarcho-tyranny World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
For me watching the video below was the equivalent of going to an acton film in the 1980s. We don't go out now, the screen is about 0.01% the size, but the action is here and I inside I strongly feel myself being part of the action. One difference here is that this one is real and happening very nearly NOW. I would rate "Yorkshire!, Yorkshire!" as my favorite film of the century so far.
I wrote that I was heartened to see the rioting in Southport and London. Here I was 10 times heartened. Youtube (probably accidentally) served up this suggestion, which is pure on-scene footage without the reporter even talking. I mean, I see that these guys have broken into the hotel and that others are throwing hotel furniture at the cops. I don't need to hear "They've broken into the hotel!" and "They're throwing hotel furniture at the cops!". I turned on the auto-closed captioning, for what it's worth, on those previous videos firstly because I'd been in a bad spot to listen but secondly because those English accents are not so easy for me to get through. I know it's English, but ... CC would be rubbish (as they say) for this one, so just watch, listen and be there...
This is an hour and a half of real action, with no commentary, or, much, much worse, Lyin' Press BS propaganda.
This riot was in Rotherham. You may recall* that Rotherham was the English town (was? or is?) in which Moslem "grooming" gangs took underage White British girls to be prostitutes for their Moslem fellows. ("It's their culture.") This went on, or has gone, on for a decade and a half or more. The British authorities have been too afraid to do a thing about it and covered it up. By "afraid", I mean both of the Moslems themselves and of being called names for wanting to enforce olde quaint British custom, like men who pimp out underage girls are severely punished.
It took me a while to figure it out, but the building around which the protest/riot takes place, with the police defending it, is a hotel that is housing "migrants", illegal or whatever, doesn't matter to me, or these guys. I've not been in Rotherdam, but I'd venture it's a hundred quid a night to stay here for those not active participants in the Population Replacement Programme. I'm no Socialist, but If you're going to have a Welfare State, it ought to be for YOUR people, not imported, often violent foreigners.
This hour and a half of action was, again, the best thing I've seen in a long time! I was right there with these blokes. When they yelled at the cops asking whose freaking side are they on, I wanted to be yelling, when they threw rocks, I wanted to be throwing rocks, when they started throwing furniture at them, I wanted to be throwing the furniture. Here's the video:
There were no interviews here, so we have no answers to "Is this about the 3 girls stabbed?" or "Is this about the grooming gangs?" Peak Stupidity will speculate though, as we tend to do.
It's about time these Yorkshiremen got the opportunity to rise up against their Regime's Anarcho-Tyranny. The murders by an African in Southport are a good excuse, and the riots elsewhere over this I'm sure triggered this one. However, were you to interview one of these guys and get the real answer - not so easy when one is in the middle of a riot with that adrenaline flowing anger being very focused - what would you learn:
Let me expand on the thoughts that I speculate are the reason for this and future riots: The UK has a UniParty, just as America does. Voters there recently punished one squad of it, and ended up with another, the Prime Minister therefrom being another Globalist Totalitarian POS. The ballot box is NOT working! It's time for something else.
It's not just the one stabbing, and it's not just the Rotherdam Moslem grooming business. It's bigger than that now. These blokes are fighting back the only way they (and I) can see, against the Regime and its policies of destroying the British people.
Peak Stupidity will have more commentary on the UK riots with screenshots (of this one) to come... mixed in with that Curmudeonry stuff, that is.
* Without the ultimate source, VDare, being able to give me 50 stories, I Yandexed it, and got an iSteve post on the 1st results page. I know John Derbyshire would have written something, but even with "John Derbyshire" in the search, I didn't get anything right off.

Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Posted On: Saturday - August 3rd 2024 2:25PM MST
In Topics: Music
This band name came to me for reasons, today, and I know we haven't featured Poison before here. This '80s band* has a lead singer, Bret Michaels, who looked very much like contemporaneous band Guns & Roses' lead singer Axl Rose. I mean, the bandana, long hair, tattoos (only a couple, '88, '89...it was a different time, you understand...) One of these guys was imitating the other.
Even the band members probably looked like their counterparts. It was the look for bands like that, and I don't know if it was that or the sound that made me thing for a couple of decades that this song, Every Rose Has Its Thorn was by Guns &, excuse me, G&R. It's a ballad, but it's still got a good sound you'd expect from "this kind" of band.
I didn't need to see about the whole guy naked, but the hot bikini-underwear-clad chick makes up for it. She appears for a couple of seconds twice. I think the deal was to get viewers to watch/listen to the whole thing, expecting another look at black-bikini-underwear woman.
Yep, good music, good music videos and hot chicks (you try) were in my mind back 35 years ago, not all the discouraging stuff you've read here lately. I wish the country had paid attention a few decades early.
On that note, let say that we'll just have to get into the Curmudgeonry next week, as I've got too many to pass up. I hope I can make them entertaining at least. These do fit in well with our site Mission Statement, but so does one more about the Genderbender nonsense. Then, maybe we'll get to that last post on the Deep State. Others will pop up.

England Burning: Enough is Enough!
Posted On: Saturday - August 3rd 2024 9:02AM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Globalists Anarcho-tyranny World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
It was proving to be too long a title, so let me just state the 3 separate points for this post:
1) My corrections in the previous post, leading to...
2) Anarcho-Tyranny: Leeds vs Southport/London/more
3) Straight video without the Lyin' Press
1) Peak Stupidity has our usual "[UPDATE]" note on the last post.
Just to reiterate, this murderer (Rwandan, not Nigerian) was born in the UK, to parents that came from Rwanda during the Million Machete Murder civil war in the 1990s. So, what? The rioters' point doesn't change - in a way it reinforces it. This guy didn't assimilate.
The kids* who weren't killed were in "critical" rather than "serious" condition when I read it, which is worse. Some may yet die. I hope they don't and won't live the rest of their lives debilitated.
I picked up somehow that Leeds had another riot of THIS sort, White people having had enough with the destructive changes forced on the UK. No, the Leeds riots had been by Moslems upset by the Child Protective Services having taken kids away from their family...
2) No, the rioters (I had to use CC only) were comparing the Leeds riots to theirs, with the term Anarcho-Tyranny not used. I'll use it, but "Two-Tier" is the term I heard and read a number to times in the videos. Not to get too far off track, but let me point you to this couple of weeks old article on that happening. The CPS office took the 4 children from their extended family members taking care of them(?), and massive rioting ensued.
I'm no fan of the CPS either. OTOH, I have no idea what exactly the problem was with the treatment of the children. However, let's imagine we are ACTUAL Brits and read the following from the article:
Leeds Children’s Services also explained they had been told by a third party the family members were going to take them to Romania.OK, so they were some kind of vague class of "migrants", and the family was going to take them out of the UK. What's wrong with that?! Save the taxpayers' money on the CPS, and get them out, where they won't be a burden and replace Brits in the future. It's a WIN/WIN! No, but the CPS was worried that they wouldn't be able to return. MADNESS! [/BotRK]
As all of the children are foreign nationals without settled status, it could be difficult for them to return to Britain.
Wait, is that the Anarcho-Tyranny? No, that was just massive stupidity. Most** of the Anarcho-Tyranny is in the very headline (explaining why I didn't link with it):v Four children returned to extended family after Leeds riots. You see? When Moslems riot, the Regime gives in. The family in question, along with future Moslems that may (probably not anymore) deal with CPS got what they wanted.
As White British people who want their country back riot, we all know that the police will not relent, and the Regime will not give in. Yeah, right, can you imagine "OK, we feel your pain. An immigration moratorium will be started next week along with a deportation program."? I knew you couldn't.
3) A good video showing the scenes in London appears below, which was embedded on ZeroHedge in UK Prime Minister Calls For Crackdown On Angry Brits - Violent Migrants Get A Pass.
I had previously looked through more of the Lyin' Press ones to make further points about the lies and hatred of the British people, but rather than that, this one has no Lyin' Press Orwellian corrections of the views of the British rioters. There's just the one guy, Wesley Winter (not a true Brit either, obviously) who is small media reporter. He asked folks in the crowd questions and commented on the video footage, for a whole hour.
My commentary first***: I'm glad he's doing this kind of reporting, but Mr. Winter's commentary is pretty lame. "There a bunch of police over there." (Yeah, we see that.) "They're launching stuff at the police." (Yeah, we see that.) "These people are angry because ...". He must have said that 20 times. Oh, and "The noise is crazy." (It's like, a big crowd of people, so, yeah...)
His questioning of the rioters was decent, but he had a couple of points he seemed to want to push. 1) "Do you see there are more police here than at Leeds?" They respond yes, but this reporter seems to want to drill that in over and over. 2) He's on the other side wrt the real gist of the rioting. "It's about the little girls killed, right?" Some answer yes, and some give him more of the overall big picture. It's not just about this particular violent act against these White British children. It seemed that reporter Wesley Winter wanted to clarify himself that it most certainly was.
England Burning: Enough is Enough.
Notice a few things. Everyone is angry, and rightly so. However, even in that anger there are a number of cucks seen - or just so beaten down from years of PC that they can't get themselves to say more. "No, it's not about race or color." Others are straight honest. I hope their courage and honesty are contagious. It can work like that, but I guess it depends on whether the cucked are careful with words due to fear, or due to ingrained PC they just can't shake.
The guy interviewed at 06:15 in does a nice job, but never was explicitly pro-White. (The woman with him or near him is extremely annoying.). An example of one of the cucked is at 26 minutes in, while right at 29 minutes we see a nice rant for 45 seconds.
This large woman starting at the 30:06 mark did a nice job explaining the Anarcho-Tyranny, excuse me, Two-Tier policing.
It was great just to be ABLE TO watch footage of this rioting without the Lyin' Press's pro-Regime, anti-White Orwellian messaging overwhelming it all.
* Adults too were injured.
** Another part, as heard many times from rioters in various videos - "What about Leeds?" - is that the police didn't have he presence they have now when the big programs of the Regime itself are being threatened. Perhaps, the Bobbies are more scared of the Moslems than they are of even the strongest of the Brits. For probably both reasons, rather than escalate things, in Leeds they would stand down or run away, from what I've read. That sounds like the Summer of George over here.

The Riots in Britain: Lyin' Press version
Posted On: Friday - August 2nd 2024 8:23PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Media Stupidity Orwellian Stupidity Anarcho-tyranny World Political Stupidity
I've always felt that Western* Europeans in recent history were too proud of themselves as racially virtuous people to learn anything from America the EASY way. This comes from my talking to some of them in the 1980s and later. They could have learned the easy way by touring Memphis, Tennessee - the FULL tour - or inner city Detroit, for a few weeks.
They decided to learn it all the HARD way. I'm probably being hard on them, as that's kind of general. I'm sure there were plenty of Brits, for example, who've always been against immigration of non-Whites to their islands. I've heard of this one guy named Enoch Powell...
The UK - slightly different from Great Britain, I know - is only 81% White now. Even as late as 1980, BTW, Britain was 96% White, as per wiki. They didn't care to (why bother?) take this data much early, but if you read or talk to people who lived there in the '50s and '60s, many would not have ever met a non-White person. It was probably at 99.9x% White.
Most of the people, as is the case here, have had no choice in the matter. During this recent period, along with this invasion, and probably well related to it, the place has turned into an Orwellian Police State. Eric Blair, aka, George Orwell, even got the setting right - Oceania. Maybe they'll change the name soon and memory-hole the whole "UK", "Britain", "England" stuff - it's so hard to keep straight, right?
Something else kinda related to the above is that the UK is not such a civil and peaceful place anymore. The latest news about that is that a Nigerian stabbed a dozen people or so, killing 3 little White girls and seriously injuring a half dozen others, on the streets of a city called Southport, on the west coast in northern England, about 15 miles up the coast from the famous Liverpool.
Before I move on, let me mention those injured. The news says a number of them were "critically" injured. That does means they may or may not eventually be whole people again. Some of these other children may have cuts that require gut surgery, requiring colostomy bags, maybe injuries that cause pain throughout the rest of their lives, who knows. Not being dead is on thing. As a parent, imagine a child with an injury that will affect him the rest of his life. Some may be so horrendous that you may wonder if it'd have been better off the other way.
Let's think on that, and move on to the reaction of the people of Britain to this, yet another, act of violence on their White people. There've been riots there in Southport. The people know what this is about - they don't even have to go through the news stories trying to pick out clues on "what kind of person would do this?"
Rather than be let to vent their anger, as Black! people always are during their riots, Anarcho-Tyranny requires the police to come down hard on the White people. (That is, if they have the man- and woman- power in place.)
In England, the Anarcho-Tyranny shows up different treatment for Palestinian protestors vs. the actual Brits. Even when it's real Brits for Palestine, the protests don't threaten the Globalist Establishment, so they're A-OK. The problem for the UK authorities is that these White people out in the streets know what the problem is. They know what needs to be done to prevent these horrible acts from happening again... or at least from INCREASINGLY happening. The people are acting like NATIONALISTS or something! That's very scary to those in power.
The UK Lyin' Press is an arm of the authorities, just as it is here. They've been trying to get across to the rioters and sympathizers that you can't go assuming mass killers are Moslems. No, he wasn't an Englishman, but it turns out that the stabber was a Welshman name of Axel Rudakabana. (Not the kind of Welch names I'd seen on the signs there.) No, this guy is NOT a Moslem, so quit rioting and complaining. He's a Welshman, albeit from Rwanda.
One Judge Menary down in Liverpool allowed the 17 y/o's name to be released because he was within a week or so of being 18, but also (per the 1st video below)...
Continuing to prevent the full reporting has the disadvantage of allowing others to spread misinformation, in a vacuum.Ya see, the people have misinformation about violence from the Moslem "migrants", so I suppose now that they know he's a Rwandan "migrant", born of Rwanda "migrants", actually, they should just stand down and go home. Does that change these angry rioters' point one bit, though? No, it doesn't.
Here's a sample of UK news reporting. You'll notice they've studied a few tactics seen before in American Lyin' Press reporting.
That's the Travon Martin baby picture move. Hey, we invented that move here, like 12 years ago, buddy! They show the guy at what 8 years, 10 years old, maybe. The mass murderer could be 220 pound and in shape at this point. We don't know. (How are we gonna know?)
If you've got the stomach for it, take the 10 minutes to watch the pure evil of the Lyin' Press - UK Bureau - as they make the story of one into mistaken ethnic identity. (This one started playing after the above one finished.)
I'm going to have to post more on these riots, both there in Southport**, and now in London. This is very heartening stuff to see. People have had enough, finally!
And lastly, 3 cheers for gun control in Great Britain. When guns are outlawed, only outlaw evil violent foreign invaders may have guns, or they'll just have "bladed knives".
* We can't speak for the Eastern Euros, as most of the time in question, they were locked in, with no good sources of outside news and no source of non-White immigrants too - the cons and pros of being oppressed by Communism for 40 years, I suppose...
** Mercyside (as in by the Mercy River), I think - man, that could be in any one of a dozen British invasion pops songs from 60 years ago. Now there's an invasion I don't mind so much.

How's that? I wondered, but I was not going to give the yahoo servers the satisfaction of another page view.* I had to think back to Presidential election history. A women already ran for VP long ago. Oh, yeah, but this lady is running for Pres. Wait, so did the Hildabeast. Oh, oh, it's the Black! thing. She's all that and always a women to (not) me.
History has been set by a black woman running, ahhh, that's their deal. Yeah, but then she's something like 1/4 black. Is it the 1st Indian candidate ever, but also female Indian to boot? What are they trying to say? (As little as I care, I'll never know.) I don't buy the "making history" thing, and that's why it piqued my curiosity. Yahoo is going in the direction of obscure baseball records here. "This is the 1st time a Cuban baseball player has gotten 2 homeruns on a Tuesday... at Wrigley."
Hopefully no more records of any sort will broken by this weird silly broad, unless she gets on an anti-(c)rap kick.

Tucker/iSteve interview Transcript - Final Commentary and Comments
Posted On: Thursday - August 1st 2024 6:58PM MST
In Topics: Pundits
Although it's quicker reading, I hope many of you had a chance to watch the full Tucker Carlson interview of Steve Sailer. It was very enjoyable. I spent the time to paste in the somewhat flawed* transcript into the 8 posts below: 1st 15 minutes - - 2nd 15 minutes - - 3rd 15 minutes - - 4th 15 minutes - - 5th 15 minutes - - 6th 15 minutes - - 7th 15 minutes and 8th (last) 15 minutes.
I'm writing this for those who've read it. I have one point on the last minute or so that goes with a general disagreement of the basic view of Stupid v Evil of Mr. Sailer's. That'll be later with a reference to his book and material I've read on his new site too.
Just a few things, then:
Though much of what Mr. Sailer told Tucker Carlson here is what we "fans" have heard in various way in hundreds of posts (+ his book, for me at least), it's still very satisfying to hear, that is, knowing a pretty big audience has heard this too. I know iSteve isn't being completely serious saying he's "the most reasonable man in America", but he does seem to have gotten a big head recently. There's plenty of people who already know much of what he says. Perhaps it's that they don't know how to put things this well. iSteve's great terminology or nomenclature for all the stupidity (evil) helps him link the various parts. He also is good in relating his stats to things we see in our own lives in a down home style.
Most of the interview is like this. I think Tucker enjoyed it. Let me then just point out a couple of things that bugged me (besides that major one). These aren't in order of time.
1) This goes along with the "big head" thing. Mr. Sailer believes that all his work hasn't been used by others because they can't reveal they know, "follow", or whatever him. No, they can't reveal that. However, these people could write much of the same out of their own work (though they couldn't put it together as he does), whether done independently or "independently" and not cite him. They don't do that because they are either Woke themselves or scared of the Woke for the sake of their careers. So, it's not quite the way he puts it.
2) Some of the few things I've tried to tell him in his blog's comments regarding areas I know a lot about he still didn't make an effort to get. One of them has to do with that talk about Air Traffic Control. The Kung Flu LOCKDOWNs did indeed play a big part in slowing the training, hence hiring. I know people... Well, that's small, and he really doesn't want to bring up the Covid-one-niner. But Tucker couldn't help himself and did anyway, haha.
Also no we don't have better pilots now. They've got less real-world experience on average, actually. However, a lot of other things have improved, such as the use of real aircraft flight data to make changes to training.
3) Mr. Sailer has never really liked Trump at all. I'm sure he appreciated the work that Trump DID do on the immigration invasion. He didn't cover that much, likely because the rest of VDare did. On Trump, though, I don't know if Mr. Sailer just can't stand the buffoonery or he's snobbish. No, not all the good guys are erudite, quiet, civil fellows like you and Jared Taylor.
I agree with him on DeSantis being a more capable guy in office, as the readers here may know. He's right that the persecution of Trump had the effect of putting him farther into the lead.
4) He talked about Trump taking the GOP "downscale intellectually". Well, from reading of the recent RNC, I see that point. This interview was well before the convention, but being prescient is a good thing. However, I read too much about "Can the Republicans keep some competent, higher brow people around?" That's not always what it takes. You make do with who you've got. I would bet good money that Steve Sailer doesn't like Matt Gaetz or MTG. That's because they get loud and try to actually DO SOMETHING (not easy when you're a drop in a 454 count bucket). They are not nice and quiet and civil sometimes.
5) Also, there are too many conspiracy theorists on the right, he states. Yeah, you've got some out-there stuff they occasionally say that is plain wrong. They are quite right about the big things though. Steve Sailer just won't believe there are evil people around though. That's that other post ...
As I just perused the transcript, I see how much great stuff there is though, so don't take a few minor criticisms as saying this guy's full of it or something. He's also really honest. I'm surprised he brought up possible or likely cheating on standardized tests by Asians** to this big audience. His snark is most excellent when he's right:
Tucker [01:36:59] Or could there be other reasons? [For quickly rising Asian SAT scores]Heh!
Steve Sailer [01:37:00] Yeah. Could could it be, you know.
Steve Sailer [01:37:02] I mean, we know there's a lot of cheating in Asia itself.
Steve Sailer [01:37:05] On the S.A.T.. We don't.
Tucker [01:37:08] Think people bring their bad habits when they come here, do you?
Steve Sailer [01:37:12] Yeah. I mean.
Steve Sailer [01:37:13] I mean, nobody can possibly communicate across the Pacific Ocean. It's thousands of miles wide. How could anybody text message what was on the test?
That's a good place to leave it. I hope you all will put in plenty of comments on what you think about this interview over the next few days. I'll be kind of busy until Saturday. Good evening!
PS: I'm not sure if I ever pasted in the actual title of the interview, per TC. It's Steve Sailer: BLM, Karens, Donald Trump, and What Democrats Don’t Want You to Know about DEI. He talked about a lot more than that.
* It's missing 2 pieces of discussion that matter near the end - one I did myself, and the other I'll do soon - meaning I can't trust that it's all there otherwise. Also, though, it being the best a computer could do, you have to read the repetition, run-on sentences, changes of direction, (minor) interruptions, etc.
** I include the Indians here too, so I didn't write "Oriental". I just =know much more about the latter. Oh, and Steve even said "Oriental". I think I drilled that into him. It's NOT a slur! Nice going, there, iSteve!

Site notes
Posted On: Thursday - August 1st 2024 8:24AM MST
In Topics: Websites
If you were checking out the site last evening, or trying to, you may have seen some weirdness. (Yes, something like what we see out of a GOP Presidential candidate.) It was a mess.
Because Notepad is very simple (what I like about it!) I had no word count of the Tucker/iSteve interview. I pasted it in for 1 post on this site, then 2, then 4, 6, and finally 8 parts, to get it to fit on the one page without a scrollbar. That was on a Windows machine, and I know this works differently on others. I was messing around with the various stages of post-part-counts, editing 2 at a time online, etc., so my apologies for the confusion. What's also a shame it that the rest of the stuff is way down the page now.
However, I changed the posts/page to 20 and greatly elongated the page. That'd be fine if this site ran normally, but it doesn't. One shouldn't have to do all the scrolling to spots that should be automatically at the top. I got back into the software to do 2 minor things.* By "back into", I mean reading through the fairly short files of .php code. It's been probably 5 years since I've looked at this stuff, but I remember a lot, and I had put in comments. (Part of that was that I'd started with someone else's free stuff, and I had to figure it out.)
If I myself can't stand the way this software works at times**, I sure you readers feel the same. It's time to do something. The problem is I have to change big stuff in order to change the small stuff (AND, of course, to add decent features, which is just as important). That's because the very simple - early/mid-'90s HTML - thing of putting anchor tags just doesn't work with this guy's way of doing things. I've spend many hours trying to figure it out.
Here's the deal. Along with comments, the posts are in the database too. It's a simple one with a handful of tables. I need to get the existing posts into "flat" (simple HTML with no programming code***) files (pretty easy), and then change the programming so that new posts become the same. This will speed up the site, but the main thing is it will allow me to make my own changes for new features that should have been here from the beginning without any confusion.
That stuff yesterday has me motivated. The first thing that must happen is that I get my "sandbox" in order. That's a computer geek term for all the components on my own machine that allow me to test everything OFF-LINE. I am hopeful, but I haven't checked all that in those same 5 years or so.
About the 8-part interview transcript: Please, let's just wait on any on-topic comments for a post I'll put up later today with my comments on it. I don't know, it'd be nicer to have my commentary and some comments under each part, but we'll go this way - you can refer to the 8 posts. In the last 14 (really 13) minutes, there is that addition that I made. I may still go back and type in the minute or two (quite a lot, really) that I found missing. I'll make sure you readers know of the change.
* The other, besides making the page longer, was adding those forward/back/home options to the top of the page. Again, the scrolling, man, the scrolling ..
** I do not disparage the creator of it. He had made it as a plug in, and for a much smaller level of use.
*** HTML is just formatting code. HyperText Mark-up Language. By George, I think she's got it!

**************************************
Tucker [01:43:30] Is there a point? I mean, I'm asking this question because South Africa, you know, tried this in the country is just continuously degraded for, well, 30 years this year and to the point where there's no electricity in parts at times, and the murder rate is among the highest in the world, the rape rate is the highest in the world. And but there's no deceleration that I can tell from afar, thousands of miles away. But I'm watching and it's like, no, there's no second guessing. It's just like going to ride it right back to the Stone age. Pretend it was never an advanced society in our country, which is different from South Africa in a lot of ways. Will there be a point, like when the planes do crash and the air traffic controllers are just high, or too dumb, or distract or don't care, to keep the points from crashing? Will there be a public demand like, no, no, no, let's just hire by ability from now on?
Steve Sailer [01:45:31] Of it is we just we got really good pilots these days, in part because congressmen worry about stuff like that. Now are we?
Steve Sailer [01:45:41] You know. But on the other hand, the.
Steve Sailer [01:45:44] Obama administration came along and basically sabotaged the, system for hiring, air traffic controllers. And, Congress has set up a pretty good system for finding good people in the 90s.
Steve Sailer [01:46:01] But, yeah.
Steve Sailer [01:46:02] It turned out to be. It's like white men really like air traffic. They really like airplanes.
Steve Sailer [01:46:07] It's like, you.
Steve Sailer [01:46:08] Know, what is what is a what have white men ever done with airplanes since the Wright brothers?
Steve Sailer [01:46:14] So there there. So what happens is then you get fewer people still make it make it through the training. So the training is been kept pretty legitimate. So you flunk out more people, which then means. That you're. You're under the number of air traffic controllers you expected. So you you're making them work really long hours, and they're getting more and more tired on the job, and they're making mistakes and stuff like that. And it tracks back to the Obama administration's DUI program for for air traffic controllers. Can we avoid that? Yeah, we we can. We just got to talk about it. And we just can't just shut down discussion by saying, are you saying that. A stereotype that on average, blacks wouldn't make as good air traffic controllers as whites? And the answer is yeah, yeah, I'm saying that. So you expect to have a few percentage passing the test and we can live with it.
Steve Sailer [01:47:27] We we live with it every day in sports that there are racial differences and performance on average. And nobody cares that much.
Steve Sailer [01:47:37] And you know, God bless them.
Steve Sailer [01:47:40] We love sports. So yeah, there are there is hope for the country that we can go back..
--------------------------------------
Steve Sailer [01:47:45] ... and have a philosphy for things, you know, like jet travel that were ... we consider as important as the NFL, and therefore we can't have racial quotas getting in the way. That doesn't seem out of ... outlandish.
--------------------------------------
Tucker [01:48:03] No it doesn't. So last question, and I'm sure began with this, but maybe you've. I just want to push a little more. Why do you think that you're able to have these conversations? And when you travel the country talking about your book, you're not attacked. And, you know, speaking of good signs. Do you take that as a good sign that the country's becoming, open?
Missing a whole bunch here from both Tucker and Steve, dang it, for over a minute!
Steve Sailer [01:48:31] Well, yeah. Somebody suggested to me, it's like, well, Steve, you're in Ideas that I've been propounding for 30 years and people out there going the other saylor's ideas, they make sense. He's like, the most reasonable guy in America. Maybe, you know, we've gone through a watershed, and we're beyond the meaning of. The racial reckoning and the Great Awakening. Knock on wood. I hope so.
Tucker [01:50:15] Or for this period, ten years from now, is described as the dark ages where Steve Saylor was actually in public. Yeah. I mean, face uncovered.
Steve Sailer [01:50:27] I mean, what do you think I mean? All right, let me ask you why. Why me in particular? But I but I.
Steve Sailer [01:50:37] Became sort of the Lord Voldemort, whose name cannot be, cannot be mentioned.
Steve Sailer [01:50:43] When I'm just, you know, this kind of, to.
Steve Sailer [01:50:47] My mind, this very kind of public spirited.
Steve Sailer [01:50:51] Benevolent guy.
Steve Sailer [01:50:53] Who can see both sides of various problems.
Tucker [01:50:55] Well, I've always thought that. I've always thought that you were particularly threatening because you're so obviously moderate by temperament. You're just clearly not a hater. You can smell that on people instantly. You're very reasonable, and you use the language that the left would like to keep for itself, like of science, of reason, of data. Yeah. And and you actually argue from that basis and they'd like a monopoly on that. And so there's something really threatening about a guy who's like, no, actually no. Here the numbers. And doesn't raise his voice. That's way more threatening than some guy who's jumping up and down on cable news or, you know, sending crazy tweets all day long. That person is, you know, his potential audience is much smaller than yours. Your potential audience is like, you know, sort of any open minded person who'd like to solve a problem. That's always been my thought.
Steve Sailer [01:51:53] Yeah, yeah, I hope so. But yeah, I, yeah, it's it's it's been, you.
Tucker [01:52:05] Did it bother you when they called you a Nazi or white supremacist or when they threw these slurs at you first?
Steve Sailer [01:53:17] No. My last memories of my father before he died at 95 was, Pat sent me one of his new books, and he'd gone through and put post-it notes on every page where he quoted me or made reference to some concept of mine. So I showed it to my dad, and he read it, he looked through it all the. Things that Pat had with his own hand and said. All the nice things he'd said about me and was like, well. You're this is. Great. And you know, that was like the last thing or the last interaction before he died. And then I think Pat Buchanan for. And a lot. Of people have good stories about Pat Buchanan.
Tucker [01:53:58] What a, what a nice man.
Steve Sailer [01:53:59] Yes, absolutely. You know.
Tucker [01:54:03] So, I mean, I guess it could kind of go either way. It depends on who's writing the history. I mean, I bet I'd bet money that, you know, Pat Buchanan is described in 50 years from. There's not a single living person who actually knew him, you know, some sort of monster or hate or something like that, wouldn't you think?
Steve Sailer [01:54:21] Yeah. I mean. I mean, they say.
Steve Sailer [01:54:25] Histories were written by the winners. My impression is more history is written by historians who got paid by one side or the other, not necessarily the winners to write the history. So, you know, for 100 years after the Civil War in the United States, the South, which was mostly pretty broke, but they could still scrape together enough money to pay historians to write the story of the Lost Cause.
Steve Sailer [01:55:14] We'll have different heroes all of a sudden. You know, that's maybe you and you and me will come out looking pretty good business.
Tucker [01:55:23] Well, I have trouble believing that, but I admire you. Steve, so thank you very much.
Steve Sailer [01:55:31] Tucker, Thanks.

Steve Sailer [01:30:53] Has a long tradition in the United States. If you go back to, in the 1970s, South Asians were, classified as white, but that, really annoyed the South Asian businessmen.
Steve Sailer [01:31:07] They because.

Steve Sailer [01:31:15] Getting.

Steve Sailer [01:31:33] Asian and grouped in with the East, with the Orientals and form the new Asian group so they could get these, these, good deals from the government that white people.
Steve Sailer [01:31:42] Are not entitled to. And, so that was.
Steve Sailer [01:31:46] That was an early example of flight from white. You see it with, the Hispanics increasingly, originally when the Hispanic category was created, it was set up so Hispanics could get good deals from the government and get good, affirmative action benefits, but without actually declaring themselves to be racially white, because a lot of them were.
Steve Sailer [01:32:12] Kind of took pride in their Spanish heritage and so.
Tucker [01:32:19] There's an awful lot of that in Latin America.
Steve Sailer [01:32:22] So some increased, so they could set up a separate ethnicity for Hispanics so you could get all the affirmative action benefits without actually, admitting your shame.
Steve Sailer [01:32:35] Of being white.
Steve Sailer [01:32:37] But enough time has gone by that.
Steve Sailer [01:32:39] You know.
Steve Sailer [01:32:40] Only your. You know, your Fuentes types anymore are, like, really publicly, white racist from Latin America.
Steve Sailer [01:32:50] And, and now it's.
Steve Sailer [01:32:53] More prestigious to declare yourself racially. I'm Hispanic, even though nobody's exactly sure what that means.
Steve Sailer [01:33:00] What?
Tucker [01:33:01] What does it mean? I'm confused too, because it would that include Brazil, which is, of course, a different language. It's not right and a different colonial power. And but of course, it's a multiracial country, heavily black country as a, as as Cuba, which is Spanish. But I mean, it's like I don't understand what what does the word mean?
Steve Sailer [01:33:23] Yes. Is is.
Steve Sailer [01:33:25] Brazil? Are Brazilians and Portuguese included in Hispanics, or are they.
Steve Sailer [01:33:29] Lucille, Lucy.
Steve Sailer [01:33:31] Titanic's?
Steve Sailer [01:33:32] And.
Steve Sailer [01:33:34] According to a book I read by David Bernstein, categorized, I believe it's called. Law Professor, he said that.
Steve Sailer [01:33:45] Most of the.
Steve Sailer [01:33:46] Federal government will not give you a break on federal contracting if you, if you put down your Brazilian except the Department of Transportation, they'll they'll give you racial preferences for bidding.
Steve Sailer [01:34:00] On a.
Steve Sailer [01:34:01] Highway overpass or something like that. If you're Brazilian, they'll they'll include them in. But he has Hispanics.
Steve Sailer [01:34:07] So it's I mean, we live we live in a society.
Steve Sailer [01:34:13] That's increasingly mixed in terms of ancestry. So we have more and more people coming out who were a quarter this and a quarter of that, and there's lots of money on the table. And as long as you're not, as long as you don't declare yourself white, you've got all sorts of opportunities to to get freebie.
Tucker [01:34:33] I wonder how long this can go on though, before this blows up the country. I mean, is there any chance of getting back to an it a race blind posture? Officially by the by the federal government? I mean, you can have whatever opinions you want on race. I mean, but the government, which represents everybody has to treat American citizens equally as citizens. Is there any hope for that?
Steve Sailer [01:34:54] I mean, the Supreme Court nominally outlawed affirmative.
Steve Sailer [01:34:58] Action in colleges, like, because Harvard was clearly, clearly discriminating against Asians.
Steve Sailer [01:35:28] I mean, the one issue is that the that Asian.
Steve Sailer [01:35:33] Students are pulling away so fast from everybody else in terms of things like SAT scores.
Steve Sailer [01:35:40] That the Asian black, gaps are opening up so widely. .
Steve Sailer [01:35:50] To total colorblind college admissions.
Steve Sailer [01:35:53] At the high end. You end up with. A campus with very, very few blacks qualifying to get in and a huge number of Asians and places like Harvard really worry about whether they might turn out like Yogi Berra's former favorite restaurant that got so popular that nobody goes there anymore. So if if Harvard becomes 56% Asian, are Asians going to consider Harvard cool?
Steve Sailer [01:36:22] Or do.
Steve Sailer [01:36:23] Asians want to go to places that there's a lot of white people.
Steve Sailer [01:36:27] There? You know.
Steve Sailer [01:36:29] Nobody really knows.
Steve Sailer [01:36:30] And. You know what I don't?
Steve Sailer [01:36:34] What I don't know is whether the the Asian, rise, the rise in Asian SAT scores is completely legitimate. And they just really have been getting so much smarter than everybody else in the 21st century that Asian test scores are pulling away from the field, like Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont or.
Steve Sailer [01:36:58] You know.
Tucker [01:36:59] Or could there be other reasons?
Steve Sailer [01:37:00] Yeah. Could could it be, you know.
Steve Sailer [01:37:02] I mean, we know there's a lot of cheating in Asia itself.
Steve Sailer [01:37:05] On the S.A.T.. We don't.
Tucker [01:37:08] Think people bring their bad habits when they come here, do you?
Steve Sailer [01:37:12] Yeah. I mean.
Steve Sailer [01:37:13] I mean, nobody can possibly communicate across the Pacific Ocean. It's thousands of miles wide. How could anybody text message what was on the test?
Steve Sailer [01:37:23] Or, you know.
Steve Sailer [01:37:24] Just the the enormous amount of tiger mother.
Steve Sailer [01:37:28] Prep that.
Steve Sailer [01:37:29] Asians brought with them.
Steve Sailer [01:37:31] From.
Steve Sailer [01:37:32] Their 2000 year old tradition of taking test, become mandarins and and doing enormous amounts of test prep for years.
Steve Sailer [01:37:43] Or is it, is it or it? There's possible technical reasons that. The the people making the SAT have been criticized for one thing or another for discriminating against blacks and Latinos. So they keep doing things like, let's get rid of analogies and that'll be fairer. But it winds up just benefiting the Asians most of all. Why? Oh, it was more of a the when. They had analogies it was it was harder to memorize apparently. And test prep didn't work as well. It took a certain amount of creativity and.
Steve Sailer [01:38:20] Kind of insight.
Steve Sailer [01:38:22] In the brain.
Steve Sailer [01:38:23] And, but.
Steve Sailer [01:38:26] The University of California demanded getting rid of analogies about 20 years ago. So the College Board said, yeah, sure, you're our biggest customer. We'll do what you want. And then things just sort of got worse after that. And.
Tucker [01:38:40] But but there has been a noticeable rise, relative rise in Asian assets. Yes.
Steve Sailer [01:38:46] Huge.
Steve Sailer [01:38:47] Huge since since the year 2000.
Steve Sailer [01:38:50] And I think basic leaps we should have, you know, blue ribbon commission to look into like what's going on exactly with the SAT.
Steve Sailer [01:39:02] You know, I mean, that's that's one reason, that just Covid came. No. Yeah.
Tucker [01:39:07] I'm sorry to say that, but does it still matter? I mean, is that the trend of schools getting rid of the SAT requirement? Is that real or the.
Steve Sailer [01:39:15] Yeah, definitely.
Steve Sailer [01:39:16] It all happened during Covid and the racial reckoning at once. All the colleges went well. They had to they had to cancel some. SAT tests. Because they had to be six feet apart and they couldn't fill in the classroom, etc....And then they all decided that due to the racial reckoning that they weren't going to take SATs and in fact, they're going to make it go totally test optional. And the University of California went further. They banned the applicants from submitting any kind of test score. And then what happened was that the colleges started noticing like, wow, these kids who are showing up that we let in, they're not very bright. They are not going to become computer science graduates of MIT. So MIT was the first one that went, this was stupid. We're going back to demanding. Standardized tests. And now Harvard's jumped on board. Everybody except the University of California at the elite level is moving in that direction. Because it was, it is it is a measure of aptitude, actually. And it yeah, it's it's a very good measure of aptitude. It tells, you know, GPA, high school GPA is a great measure, but it's hard to compare schools. Some schools are hard in grades. Some are easy. Having having this. Having a test and having high school grades, you can put them together and they work pretty well. But because of the racial gaps that have been around forever and these things, it was decided during the racial reckoning. That lead. As Ibram X Kendi has. The only reason some races might be doing better than other races is because. But of course, what it turns out is the Asians are doing much, much better. And because of the evil of whiteness. Because nobody really knows, because nobody's that interested in studying it, because it sounds like the kind of thing you could get canceled for finding out. And.
Steve Sailer [01:41:34] Just.
Steve Sailer [01:41:35] In general, we have a lot of problems that have been swept under the rug in in recent years because they don't fit within the ideologies, the woke ideologies.
Steve Sailer [01:41:48] And just to.
Steve Sailer [01:41:50] Think about them is kind of dangerous sounding.
Tucker [01:41:52] When the plane start crashing.
Steve Sailer [01:41:53] Yeah.
Tucker [01:41:54] Will people start thinking about them?
Steve Sailer [01:41:57] I hope so. I mean, my my father worked for Lockheed from the late 30s to the 1980s, and when one of his planes crashed.
Steve Sailer [01:42:07] He spent two months.
Steve Sailer [01:42:09] On the site.
Steve Sailer [01:42:10] Because when a plane hits.
Steve Sailer [01:42:11] The ground, it spreads out over a mile or so, picking up all the pieces.
Steve Sailer [01:42:16] Of the plane.
Steve Sailer [01:42:18] So they could reassemble it. And there's a jigsaw puzzle and figure out why it crashed, and also picking up pieces of the pilots and the passengers and so.
Steve Sailer [01:42:26] Forth and over. You know.
Steve Sailer [01:42:30] The last hundred years, people who were picked because they were smart and hardworking.
Steve Sailer [01:42:37] Have done a whole.
Steve Sailer [01:42:38] Lot of good at getting airplanes. So they don't. Very much any.
Steve Sailer [01:42:43] More. Now, Boeing.
Steve Sailer [01:42:46] May be working on reversing a lot of that history.
Steve Sailer [01:42:49] But. Yeah. You know, we we got a lot better at.
Steve Sailer [01:42:55] Things.
Steve Sailer [01:42:56] By having systems to.
Steve Sailer [01:42:58] Find people who were competent and work hard. And now the Zeit Geist in the 21st century has been moving away from that. Will we see a lot of planes crashing?
Steve Sailer [01:43:12] God, I hope not. But, you know.
Steve Sailer [01:43:15] We need to to. We need to make 180 degree U-turn in terms of what we value, whether it's competence or diversity.
Steve Sailer [01:43:24] And.
Steve Sailer [01:43:25] You know, lately diversity's been winning.
Steve Sailer [01:43:27] And that's.
Steve Sailer [01:43:28] Going to get people killed.

**************************************
teve Sailer [01:15:00] And I'm.
Steve Sailer [01:15:01] The.
Steve Sailer [01:15:02] Competent.
Steve Sailer [01:15:03] Well-educated guy who reads all the fine print.
Steve Sailer [01:15:06] And I can I can implement some of these. And that didn't seem like a bad pitch. But just one.
Steve Sailer [01:15:15] Didn't go over at all. I, you know, as soon as the Democrats started. ] So do you think that that's what it was? It was the, you know, persecution of Trump?
Steve Sailer [01:15:49] Yeah. It seemed like that.
Steve Sailer [01:15:51] Belonged to DeSantis. And basically Republicans went back to Trump and went like, well, if the Democrats are going to do that, then we're going to stand by Trump.
Steve Sailer [01:16:00] And, you know, if the, the, the.
Steve Sailer [01:16:04] Arresting.
Steve Sailer [01:16:06] A.
Steve Sailer [01:16:06] Major candidate.
Steve Sailer [01:16:08] Is un-American and it's it's totally shameful in the United States history. And the. Democrats didn't get in the way and go like, oh. Let's let's not do that. They let local politicians, you know, kind of run amok, like this New York case. And and so they got the they got the nominee, they wanted, Donald Trump, but now they're now they're real worried that they're going to get the president. They don't want Donald Trump. So we shall see.
Tucker [01:16:43] So you're the reason that you've emerged from your cave in Tora Bora? Yeah. Coming to the sorry, is because you've got a book.
Steve Sailer [01:16:55] Yeah, it's a-
Tucker [01:16:56] Beautiful looking book. And it's collected, journalism, 1973 to 2023. You don't look that old. But it's called noticing. What does that mean?
Steve Sailer [01:17:10] Yeah. I'll hold it up here. I mean, it's it's a slogan that I took from George Orwell, who said that to to see what's in front of one's nose takes a constant effort. And I'm trying to make it easier for people to notice the realities that they see around.
Steve Sailer [01:17:34] Them and to, to to understand that what.
Steve Sailer [01:17:40] They see with their own lying eyes in their daily life.
Steve Sailer [01:17:45] Actually validated by the best of the social sciences, and that they're, that there aren't these two.
Steve Sailer [01:17:54] Different realms of existence, this kind of tawdry, subliminal one where we make decisions about what neighborhoods our family should live in and what's what are good schools for the kids. And then this, this higher, more.
Steve Sailer [01:18:12] The realm of the science, the world of data.
Steve Sailer [01:18:15] Yeah. The world data that proves.
Steve Sailer [01:18:18] That all.
Steve Sailer [01:18:19] Those things you notice in your daily life can't possibly be true, because that would be a stereotype. And my view is not all connected. There's just one reality out there. It goes from your personal anecdotes to what people might dismisses and data to the data, and it all tells pretty much the same story.
Tucker [01:18:42] So but why is it I mean, we don't need to get into Covid, but I just know from the very beginning I never knew anyone. I know people died of Covid. I never knew anyone who died of Covid. I did know someone who died from the vaccine and a number of other people who were injured pretty conclusively by the vaccine. That doesn't mean that more people were injured by the vaccine, died of Covid. I'm not saying that. But then I started to ask around, you know, do you know anyone who died of Covid? You know anyone? Like, actually no one. You have you had dinner with anyone who later died of Covid. Do you know anyone was injured by the vaccine? And I don't think I've ever met a single person who didn't have the same answer I did. Whether that's reality or not, I still don't know. But I do know there's been such an effort to tell me that I'm crazy for noticing that.
Steve Sailer [01:19:23] Yeah. When one.
Steve Sailer [01:19:24] Thing I used to do was go through the list.
Steve Sailer [01:19:28] Of.
Steve Sailer [01:19:29] On Wikipedia, prominent people who have died of Covid.
Steve Sailer [01:19:33] And the thing that I.
Steve Sailer [01:19:35] Noticed about it.
Steve Sailer [01:19:37] Was that they were almost all people who were no.
Steve Sailer [01:19:43] Longer in their.
Steve Sailer [01:19:43] Primes. And that.
Steve Sailer [01:19:47] Oh, like I saw, like, go baseball pitcher, Hall of Famer Tom Seaver has died at age 74 of Covid. And then I looked up a little more about him and like, well, you know. He probably would had a good couple decades going to old timers games and stuff like that. But then it turned out that he dropped out of public life the year before because he had dementia.
Steve Sailer [01:20:12] And.
Tucker [01:20:13] Parkinson's.
Steve Sailer [01:20:35] Toward the last decade of their lives and weren't no longer in the public.
Steve Sailer [01:20:39] Eye. And, so.
Steve Sailer [01:20:42] That's that that sort of helps explain the thesis that, yeah, there was a lot of Covid deaths, the antithesis that like, you know, it's not like anybody. I was like met and I knew at work drop dead of Covid. And then you get this synthesis of like.
Steve Sailer [01:20:58] Oh yeah, it's it.
Steve Sailer [01:21:00] Mostly, killed off people who were. Who were probably close to retirement, retired in ill health from other things and so on.
Tucker [01:21:13] So I think what's interesting is the point of social science is that there was a point was to bring the principles of science, of the scientific method to bear on the world just right around us and to make it clear what we were actually seeing. Yeah, I think, yeah. And but it seems like it's use, at least over the past several years, has been to do the opposite, which is to obscure what we're actually seeing, living, experiencing and tell us a story that's not true.
Steve Sailer [01:21:40] Yeah.
Tucker [01:21:41] Yeah. Is that my imagination?
Steve Sailer [01:21:42] No, it's I mean, the issue.
Steve Sailer [01:21:45] Is that so much data has piled.
Steve Sailer [01:21:47] Up, that you can.
Steve Sailer [01:21:50] We can now answer quite a few questions that were beyond our capability beforehand.
Steve Sailer [01:21:58] I mean, and the.
Steve Sailer [01:21:59] Answers we keep getting.
Steve Sailer [01:22:01] Are.
Steve Sailer [01:22:02] The politically are generally politically incorrect ones that were anticipated by the bad people. The Charles Murray's and James Q Wilson's in the 21st in the 20th century. So, for example, we have.
Steve Sailer [01:22:17] An.
Steve Sailer [01:22:17] Enormous amount of data from DNA.
Steve Sailer [01:22:21] That.
Steve Sailer [01:22:21] Tells us about our racial ancestry. And what have we discovered in that in this century? Did the, the conventional wisdom that race does not biologically exist be proven?
Steve Sailer [01:22:36] No, of course not.
Steve Sailer [01:22:37] You can you can call up Ancestry.com or 23 and me and they'll tell you your race to three, three digits.
Steve Sailer [01:22:47] You know.
Steve Sailer [01:22:48] They'll tell you, you know, if you're if you're Jewish, they'll tell you, you know, you're 49.8% Ashkenazi. Other data is piling up. There's a Harvard economist named Raj Chetty who's.
Steve Sailer [01:23:02] Done phenomenal work talking.
Steve Sailer [01:23:05] Government bureaucracies into letting him work with totally confidential data, like, like the tax returns of everybody in the country. And so he can do studies that nobody had ever had the hotspot dream before, that they never get their hands on the data. So, for example.
Steve Sailer [01:23:26] He gets.
Steve Sailer [01:23:27] He track 21 million Americans across 30 years of their lives from he looked at how much money their parents made in the 1990s.
Steve Sailer [01:23:38] And then he looked at things.
Steve Sailer [01:23:40] Like, were they in jail on census day, January, April 1st 19, 2010, when they were about 30 years old.
Steve Sailer [01:23:49] And so then he could plot out what's what are the odds of, of a.
Steve Sailer [01:23:57] Man being in jail based on.
Steve Sailer [01:23:59] How poor.
Steve Sailer [01:24:00] Rich his parents were? And not surprisingly.
Steve Sailer [01:24:03] Poor, poor.
Steve Sailer [01:24:04] Guys who grew up poor go to jail.
Steve Sailer [01:24:06] A lot more. But he could.
Steve Sailer [01:24:09] Also answer using data from the Census Bureau what the race was, all 21 million of these people. And he. Discovered? Yeah. In general, blacks who had the exact same.
Steve Sailer [01:24:21] Income.
Steve Sailer [01:24:22] As whites growing up as kids in the 90s. But in 2000, in 2010, were in jail 3 to 10 times more often than whites who were their exact peers in terms of family income. And this this is like, wow, I never expected somebody to be able to come up with that. And it goes, yeah.
Steve Sailer [01:24:43] So when.
Steve Sailer [01:24:44] People wonder why are blacks in jail more.
Steve Sailer [01:24:48] Often?
Steve Sailer [01:24:49] Is it is it poverty? And poverty plays a role. But even without poverty, you take it all the way at the highest level.
Steve Sailer [01:24:59] Blacks at the.
Steve Sailer [01:25:00] At the highest percentile. Blacks go to jail about ten times as often as the richest whites.
Steve Sailer [01:25:07] So we're.
Steve Sailer [01:25:08] Able to answer all sorts of social science questions these days.
Steve Sailer [01:25:13] But.
Steve Sailer [01:25:15] Nobody likes the answers they're getting.
Steve Sailer [01:25:17] Well, it.
Tucker [01:25:18] Didn't seem like when we finally unraveled the human genome. Which was right around the time the bell curve came out. Ish. Yeah. That's when the whole conversation got shut down.
Steve Sailer [01:25:29] Yeah.
Tucker [01:25:30] Maybe we had too much information.
Steve Sailer [01:25:32] Yeah. What? What happened?
Steve Sailer [01:25:37] At a ceremony that Bill Clinton put on in the presidential rose, garden in 2000 for the Human Genome Project. They just sort of made progress decoding a single genome, which was mostly that of entrepreneur Craig Venter, who helped out enormously.
Steve Sailer [01:25:59] And.
Steve Sailer [01:25:59] Craig got up and made a speech that was exactly what the zeitgeist wanted to hear. He said, we've looked at the human genome.
Steve Sailer [01:26:08] Or his human genome, and we.
Steve Sailer [01:26:11] Discovered.
Steve Sailer [01:26:12] The one thing you.
Steve Sailer [01:26:13] Can't see in it is race. There's no difference whatsoever genetically.
Steve Sailer [01:26:19] Between different genomes.
Steve Sailer [01:26:23] In terms of racial ancestry. Well, then, within 3 or 4 or five years.
Steve Sailer [01:26:29] The.
Steve Sailer [01:26:29] Evidence was piling up is like, no, actually, you can tell exactly what the ancestry of people is.
Steve Sailer [01:26:36] Became a sizable.
Steve Sailer [01:26:38] Business very quickly.
Steve Sailer [01:26:40] But as far as I can tell.
Steve Sailer [01:26:42] A huge fraction of the population remembers hearing that the science has proven that race doesn't exist genetically, and they've never rethought it since that 2000. Speech by Venter standing next to Bill Clinton.
Steve Sailer [01:27:03] So people people want.
Steve Sailer [01:27:05] To believe some things. They want to believe that the science has proven all of this, this anti-racist.
Steve Sailer [01:27:13] Dogmas that they get told.
Steve Sailer [01:27:15] And they just sort of ignore that. Now it's actually moving in the other direction, and it's time that we it's time that we think realistically about.
Steve Sailer [01:27:24] You know, what.
Steve Sailer [01:27:25] The data is telling us.
Steve Sailer [01:27:28] And.
Steve Sailer [01:27:29] You know, personally, I don't think it's the end of the world by any means.
Steve Sailer [01:27:33] And I think.
Steve Sailer [01:27:33] We can we can all get along pretty well.
Steve Sailer [01:27:35] Knowing, knowing the.
Steve Sailer [01:27:37] Realities. But a lot of people are just terrified of them and, and basically want to lie about it.
Tucker [01:27:44] I mean, the way that previous civilizations held together in the face of knowledge of genetic and racial differences, which are obviously real, but they weren't always at war with themselves. And one of the ways you did that was by believing in a religious doctrine that said God created everybody. Therefore, despite whatever differences we have, we are all of equal value without that overlay which we no longer have. How do you keep a society together in the in the face of these realities?
Steve Sailer [01:28:14] Yeah. I mean.
Steve Sailer [01:28:16] The Democrats have been.
Steve Sailer [01:28:17] Moving toward the.
Steve Sailer [01:28:23] You know, tour toward a sort of Nazi type solution of having a scapegoat who's who unites everybody else by being the locus of evil, namely, whites or.
Steve Sailer [01:28:37] You know.
Steve Sailer [01:28:38] The way the Democratic.
Steve Sailer [01:28:39] Works, it's.
Steve Sailer [01:28:40] All sorts of circles within circles. So you get more Pokémon points for being nonwhite. You get diversity points for being a woman. You get more diversity points if you were born a man, etc., etc..
Steve Sailer [01:28:58] But yeah.
Steve Sailer [01:28:58] Unifying around the scapegoat population.
Steve Sailer [01:29:02] That does not have a good track record.
Tucker [01:29:05] What happens in the end?
Steve Sailer [01:29:07] What happens in the end? We don't know.
Steve Sailer [01:29:11] Does does it get worse.
Steve Sailer [01:29:14] Or one one of the things we see maybe. Conventional wisdom and scoffing. And saying, you. You guys are just making this up. It's not true. You're just saying it so you can get DEI. Money and, you know, we. One thing ambitious people are doing and you've written about this is just denying being white. Yeah. And the flight from white. What is that. Has a lot of different dimensions. It's people it's it's. Kids applying to college and remembering their grandmother was. Their Irish grandmother was born in point in Cyprus before she went back to Ireland...

(Continued from 1st 15 minutes - - 2nd 15 minutes - - 3rd 15 minutes and 4th 15 minutes.)
**************************************
Tucker [01:00:14] Doesn't demographic change to be driven by immigration? Yeah. Scramble the for me a little bit. Yeah. So you're I'm 55. You're older than I am by bit. But we both are up in a country where, you know, it was white majority black minority and with some were from California and both of us. So there was always a Hispanic component. But but I think most Americans sort of thought of it as a white country with a black minority, a mistreated black minority. In some cases. That was true. But that's not the country that we're in right now. And it definitely is not the country we're going to be in in ten years, which is going to have a Hispanic majority, a white minority, and then a much, much, much smaller black minority. So I just wonder if the Hispanic majority is going to be that interested in Emmett Till.
Steve Sailer [01:01:00] Yeah. I mean, that's yeah, that's definitely. Possibility and and the.
Steve Sailer [01:01:10] The establishment is working hard on that to.
Steve Sailer [01:01:14] To.
Steve Sailer [01:01:15] Inculcate in the public schools that Emmett Till was the most important figure of the 20th century. They're they're working very hard to keep together the Democratic coalition of the fringes by pointing at these horrible white men who were the enemy.
Steve Sailer [01:01:37] And.
Steve Sailer [01:01:38] Who also have all the generational wealth. And keep your eye on the prize. Eyes on the prize.
Tucker [01:01:44] Which is other people's money.
Steve Sailer [01:01:46] Yeah, other people's money. It's it's white people's home equity, basically. And stocks of, you know, baby boomers are dying. They're leaving. They're they want to leave their property to their kids. This is a vast turnover of wealth. We need to get our our hands on some of this. Another question might.
Steve Sailer [01:02:07] Be.
Steve Sailer [01:02:08] You know, how how big is the African immigration going to going to be if you'll go to look at the border, there's all sorts of people showing up from Mauritania. Except. ] They're still way above. Reproduction rate in, in most of Africa. Right. And. It's not people know how to get out of Africa. Now you get a smartphone, it gives you only instructions and so forth. Clearly, you know, highly legitimate descendant of American slaves and Barack Obama not at all. But yeah, that's we're going to see.
Steve Sailer [01:04:09] We'll see that. I mean, American corporations, they want if, if they have to meet Dei quotas, they tend to prefer, immigrants for the jobs or people maybe who are raised by their white mothers or something like that.
Steve Sailer [01:04:27] So, we'll.
Steve Sailer [01:04:29] We'll see where where this all leads.
Tucker [01:04:31] Where does it all go politically? Or actually, let me just take a step back. You, became famous to the extent that you were famous in sort of a summer sort kind of way, 2016, for calling that election with some with some accuracy. But based on looking at the demographics like, tell us about your predictions. Yeah.
Steve Sailer [01:04:51] I mean, that's that's a kind of overstatement, but it's it's more like in 2000.
Steve Sailer [01:05:00] I became.
Steve Sailer [01:05:02] The most.
Steve Sailer [01:05:03] Outspoken critic of the new GOP orthodoxy as promulgated by Karl Rove, George W Bush's, Svengali. And Rove's theory was.
Steve Sailer [01:05:15] That what we.
Steve Sailer [01:05:17] Need, what the Republicans need, is to push through amnesty and much easier immigration. And that's what the Latino voters or future Latino voters will.
Steve Sailer [01:05:31] Will they'll love us.
Steve Sailer [01:05:33] For that, for bringing in fellow Latinos. And then they'll all switch to voting, Republican, especially for the Bush family, which.
Steve Sailer [01:05:46] You know, that.
Steve Sailer [01:05:47] Jeb's son, George Bush, is half Mexican. And so the future is the United States and Mexico demographically merged. The Bush dynasty of Wasps and Mexicans will carry on as the natural ruling class of.
Steve Sailer [01:06:07] Of.
Steve Sailer [01:06:08] Increasingly mestizo North America.
Steve Sailer [01:06:13] And that's that was, two implausible. But I kept asking.
Steve Sailer [01:06:18] Questions.
Steve Sailer [01:06:18] Like, do Max, do.
Steve Sailer [01:06:20] Latinos really care?
Steve Sailer [01:06:22] And that much about immigration policy? Are they are.
Steve Sailer [01:06:26] You sure they really want all their cousins from back home to be moving in.
Steve Sailer [01:06:30] With them?
Steve Sailer [01:06:32] The one closest Latino state is Florida. And do the Cubans in Florida really care about Mexicans? Illegal alien.
Steve Sailer [01:06:41] Mexicans? I haven't.
Steve Sailer [01:06:42] Noticed that.
Steve Sailer [01:06:43] And I kept saying, you know, an awful lot of.
Steve Sailer [01:06:48] The Latinos are in California and that's never going to go Republican.
Steve Sailer [01:06:51] Again.
Steve Sailer [01:06:52] And the others are in Texas in large numbers. And if that goes if that's up for play, then the Republican Party's in really big trouble.
Steve Sailer [01:07:01] So wouldn't.
Steve Sailer [01:07:02] It make more sense looking at the Electoral College map.
Steve Sailer [01:07:05] To go.
Steve Sailer [01:07:06] Well, look, there's all these Great Lakes states, the Rust Belt.
Steve Sailer [01:07:10] And one of the.
Steve Sailer [01:07:12] Things you see there is that the white working class isn't anywhere near as Republican as they are in the South, and they're actually really close in the Electoral College, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. Republican establishment kept going on with the, Hispanic, plan. That was the big 2013 audit that convinced Marco Rubio that we need, amnesty and so forth.
Steve Sailer [01:07:58] But I kept,
Steve Sailer [01:07:58] Saying.
Steve Sailer [01:07:59] Yeah, you know.
Steve Sailer [01:08:00] The way you win in the Electoral College is these is these Rust Belt states around.
Steve Sailer [01:08:05] The.
Tucker [01:08:06] Did Rove not see that?
Steve Sailer [01:08:10] He'd. I mean.
Steve Sailer [01:08:13] For his loyalty to the Bush dynasty. I really think George P Bush. Played a huge role in the Bush family's thinking that because Jeb had married into a Mexican family, that this gave the bushes out of all the wasp dynasties in the United States, the greatest chance to exploit. The immigration wave from Latin America and be the natural rulers.
Steve Sailer [01:08:47] Of, of a Mexican ized population. I mean.
Steve Sailer [01:08:53] George H.W. Bush had ten year old George Bush read the Declaration of.
Steve Sailer [01:08:58] Independence.
Steve Sailer [01:08:59] At the 1988 Republican convention, which was a big deal because because, the Democratic candidate had been unenthusiastic about the Pledge of Allegiance and so forth. So.
Steve Sailer [01:09:11] You know.
Steve Sailer [01:09:12] George H.W. was putting is what he called his little brown one up there on national television to the elbow.
Steve Sailer [01:09:19] Yeah.
Steve Sailer [01:09:19] To get that started.
Steve Sailer [01:09:21] So, so, yeah, it made sense to Rove. You know, you.
Tucker [01:09:26] Get the sense that the more you listen to Rove, that maybe he wasn't the genius. We were told he was.
Steve Sailer [01:09:32] Yeah. You know. Yeah. You want you want an.
Steve Sailer [01:09:37] Election and yeah, you got.
Steve Sailer [01:09:40] You want a couple.
Steve Sailer [01:09:40] Of elections for George W.
Steve Sailer [01:09:43] Bush? But. Yeah. Is he this.
Steve Sailer [01:09:48] Genius?
Steve Sailer [01:09:50] But, you know, the Republicans weren't didn't, you know.
Steve Sailer [01:09:54] Didn't have a whole lot of people who crunched numbers and spreadsheets. So in the first decade of this century, I spent a lot of time analyzing spreadsheets and so forth of election totals.
Steve Sailer [01:10:06] And going, you know, it looks like there's a different path.
Steve Sailer [01:10:09] Here, and it really runs through the north central region where white working class people vote about 50, 50 Republican and Democrat. And you can get that up to 55, 60%.
Steve Sailer [01:10:23] You know, you can you.
Steve Sailer [01:10:24] Can win a lot of electoral votes.
Steve Sailer [01:10:26] So did did Trump, read my 2000 article.
Steve Sailer [01:10:31] But what else was he going to do?
Steve Sailer [01:10:34] That was that was the one path to the presidency. You know. It almost worked again in 2020. Under pretty adverse circumstances.
Tucker [01:10:44] So will it work this time?
Steve Sailer [01:10:48] I don't know. I've got I've given up making predictions.
Steve Sailer [01:10:52] I mean, people people came along like Nate Silver, who just were so much more interested in predicting elections and worked so much harder at it. That was like.
Steve Sailer [01:11:04] And.
Steve Sailer [01:11:05] I don't have that gambling instinct that that Nate does. And, you know, I'm going to I'm going to retire from making predictions. And I don't see myself as a great forecaster of the future. What I try to be is a historian of the present and notice things that are happening right now.
Tucker [01:11:24] So what is happening with Hispanic voters. In Texas?
Steve Sailer [01:11:28] In Texas. It definitely seemed like the racial reckoning. 2020, when the when the Democrats. Went basically nuts over blacks. Alienated quite a few Texas, Latino Democrats. In California. What's clear, you know.
Tucker [01:11:57] Does even matter. I mean, California's not much of a democracy at this point.
Steve Sailer [01:12:00] Yeah. That's it. It doesn't matter. It's helpful in. Texas in that the Republican Republicans will basically lose the white House forever when Texas flips blue. The good news. In Texas is that. Basically they have a pretty. Have a pretty strong, loyal, steadfast Republican, white, population. A lot of the advantages of Texas are that they're not tied into guilt. They were a Confederate state, but they don't care about the they care about the Alamo. They've got this whole national narrative.
Steve Sailer [01:12:44] And it it helps.
Steve Sailer [01:12:46] Keep them together. And they provide strong leadership for Hispanics. And Hispanics are less.
Steve Sailer [01:12:54] You know.
Steve Sailer [01:12:55] Domineering than people we're talking.
Steve Sailer [01:12:58] About in the past.
Steve Sailer [01:12:59] They kind of look around at their upper middle class neighbors and go, okay, what do you do? You know, you're a Republican.
Steve Sailer [01:13:05] Okay.
Steve Sailer [01:13:06] That sounds pretty cool. I might be a Republican to California. You know, the upper middle class is is Democratic. So the Hispanics follow that lead. So I can't tell, you know, exactly where it will go.
Tucker [01:13:23] How does Trump change that? I mean. It feels anecdotally like a lot of Latin American immigrants like Trump. Yeah.
Steve Sailer [01:13:33] I mean, what would,
Steve Sailer [01:13:34] Trump has done as he's taken the appeal of the Republican Party? Downscale compared to, say, Mitt Romney?
Steve Sailer [01:13:45] Mitt did a pretty good job of holding on to the suburban upper middle class, the frequent flier population. Corporate executives and things like that.
Steve Sailer [01:13:56] They feel at one with him. You know, Trump.
Steve Sailer [01:13:59] Is picking up working class people of all races.
Steve Sailer [01:14:04] That's good. But, you know, it's it.
Steve Sailer [01:14:06] Also is kind of taking, the Republican Party down scale intellectually.
Steve Sailer [01:14:13] You know, you're getting.
Steve Sailer [01:14:14] More dumb conspiracy theories out of Republicans, etc..
Steve Sailer [01:14:21] You know, it's a if if.
Steve Sailer [01:14:24] Can the Republicans keep some competent, higher brow people.
Steve Sailer [01:14:30] Around? You know, that's another question. What do you think? Well, I mean, a big a big.
Steve Sailer [01:14:37] Question is how much is this? Totally a.
Steve Sailer [01:14:42] A a Trump's personality. I mean, you know, 2020, 20.
Steve Sailer [01:14:49] 24 look like Ron DeSantis had like, studied Trump and said, okay, Trump's got some interesting new ideas and post Romney ideas.

**************************************
Steve Sailer [00:45:13] Yeah. You know.
Steve Sailer [00:45:14] Birmingham.
Steve Sailer [00:45:15] Not doing that. Well, Selma not doing that. Well. Yeah. It's. Yeah. What then ends.
Steve Sailer [00:45:27] Up is you then have you end up getting a long lecture about how the construction of a freeway in 1958 destroyed the booming black Wall Street of Birmingham or whatever, and all sorts of things like that. There's a large number.
Steve Sailer [00:45:45] Of pre canned excuses.
Tucker [00:45:50] But is there any effort to actually improve the lives of black people that you're aware of?
Steve Sailer [00:45:55] I mean, what.
Steve Sailer [00:45:56] What does improve the lives of black.
Steve Sailer [00:45:58] People?
Steve Sailer [00:46:00] Basically having some law and order keeping people from carrying guns on the street. Done quite a bit of good. Parts of the country that are run by Republicans to have. Somewhat better performing Blacks. Students in schools and so forth. For example, Frisco, Texas, a fast growing exurbs of Dallas have the smallest test score gap of any school district in the country that has the highest. It's about 11% black and 20% Hispanic, and has the highest Black and Hispanic test scores in the United States. Because they have a lot of smart white people living there, but they do a lousy job in San Francisco educating blacks.
Steve Sailer [00:47:20] Because, you know, it's it's such a liberal, progressive Environment that they do a poor job of doing things like having well-disciplined schools and focusing on basics and so forth.
Steve Sailer [00:47:34] So, yeah, there's a general I mean, there's been a general trend toward blacks who have some have some choices in life who are looking to get ahead, looking to do good things for their their kids to be moving to the South, to Texas, to red states and so forth, where. In a way, from the highly liberal parts of the country. It's it's not a panacea, but.
Steve Sailer [00:48:03] You know, it does some good at the at the margin.
Tucker [00:48:06] Where are we on the continuum? In other words, if the graphs that you showed the four years after the Floyd verdict or Floyd death, like, if you extended those, if you doubled them, what would they look like? Where are we now?
Steve Sailer [00:48:23] We're hopefully. Past the worst of the racial reckoning. What I've what I've. Noticed in the newspapers was that the front section, around a few months before the 2022 election, seemed to get the word. To be a big vote winner in the 2022 midterms. Especially in the in the New York City area. So let's let's go easy on it. Let's not talk about. It all the time. In a great leap forward for equity at the Art Institute of Chicago, they fired all the nice white lady docents who work for free, giving tours of the great artwork so they can hire, people of color to, to then pay them to work there and stuff like that. And you kept hearing all those kind of stories going on much.
Steve Sailer [00:49:44] Longer about the.
Steve Sailer [00:49:45] Wonders of the racial reckoning, because, you know, they hadn't gotten the message.
Steve Sailer [00:49:52] But, yeah, probably.
Steve Sailer [00:49:53] The Biden administration.
Steve Sailer [00:49:57] Engaging in.
Steve Sailer [00:49:57] Benign neglect.
Steve Sailer [00:49:59] About like, yeah, let's not.
Steve Sailer [00:50:02] Persecute police departments quite as hard as we were, has probably done some good about getting the cops out of the donut shop and actually pulling over, you know, people driving 100 miles an hour.
Steve Sailer [00:50:17] And so, yeah, that's that's.
Steve Sailer [00:50:20] Made some progress.
Steve Sailer [00:50:21] But it took the it took the Hispanics.
Steve Sailer [00:50:24] While longer to get the get the word that the cops.
Steve Sailer [00:50:28] Weren't.
Steve Sailer [00:50:28] Being proactive, and so their car crash and murder rates have gone way up.
Steve Sailer [00:50:34] And, you know, it's even if.
Steve Sailer [00:50:37] Things are getting better now, they're going to takes.
Steve Sailer [00:50:39] A number.
Steve Sailer [00:50:40] Of years to get back to where we were in 2019, much less where we were before Ferguson in 2014.
Steve Sailer [00:50:48] You know, the.
Steve Sailer [00:50:50] The death rate is still up, like in these deaths of exuberance, like 30 to 40% over 2014.
Tucker [00:50:57] And way up over the, you know, nonblack average. So the, you know, the obvious question is like, why? And it's been going on a long time. Has there ever been a serious effort made in good faith to figure out why rates of violence among in black areas are so much higher, which they are and have always been? But why?
Steve Sailer [00:51:56] And that that wound up.
Steve Sailer [00:51:57] Doubling the per capita, murder rate in the 60s and 70s.
Steve Sailer [00:52:02] It doubled, you know.
Steve Sailer [00:52:04] It was by 1980, it was twice what it was in 1961 per capita.
Tucker [00:52:09] That's a lot of dead people.
Steve Sailer [00:52:10] Yeah, that's a lot of dead people. And it did did.
Steve Sailer [00:52:16] Horrors to American urban life. People fled to the suburbs there. They're all now denounced as these villains who engaged in white flight.
Steve Sailer [00:52:26] But, you know, like my.
Steve Sailer [00:52:28] My wife's family lived in the in the Austin neighborhood in the West Side of Chicago. And they, they when it started to integrate, they joined a liberal Catholic group and said, okay, we're all going to stick it out and.
Steve Sailer [00:52:51] Stuck, stuck it out three years longer than the rest of the members of the club did. But but at that point, the number of felonies against their children was piling up. And so they finally sold out at a loss of like half of what they could have gotten for their house, that they'd sold it three years before.
Steve Sailer [00:53:10] Tens of millions in that changed their views.
Tucker [00:53:12] What a tragedy for them.
Steve Sailer [00:53:13] Yeah, that they, you know, my.
Steve Sailer [00:53:17] My late father in law was the tuba player for the Chicago Lyric.
Steve Sailer [00:53:21] Opera. So. So you ended.
Steve Sailer [00:53:23] Up buying a farm 63 miles out of town and then commuting to work to play the tuba, in the opera house downtown?
Steve Sailer [00:53:34] Yeah, it was kind of.
Steve Sailer [00:53:35] A disaster for.
Steve Sailer [00:53:36] Them. And, you know, there's tens of millions of.
Steve Sailer [00:53:38] Americans who are still alive who can tell these stories, of what actually happened. And the media is not that interested in hearing them. You know, the media wants to portray these people as the bad guys.
Steve Sailer [00:53:54] Who.
Steve Sailer [00:53:54] Because of their bigotry and not because of all the felonies against their children.
Steve Sailer [00:54:00] You know, moved.
Steve Sailer [00:54:01] Out to the suburbs. Interestingly, right across the street from where my. In-laws lived is the Municipality of Oak Park.
Steve Sailer [00:54:12] Illinois, in a suburb, that.
Steve Sailer [00:54:15] Ernest Hemingway supposedly said was the land of broad lawns and narrow minds. What's really nice has all this great Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. They actually did something really intelligent.
Steve Sailer [00:54:28] And.
Steve Sailer [00:54:28] Really illegal in the 1970s, which was they put a racial quota on real estate agents. It was called the black A.
Steve Sailer [00:54:37] Block Club.
Steve Sailer [00:54:38] And said, no, you can't make a huge, fast windfall by terrifying everybody into selling right now. And because it's.
Steve Sailer [00:54:49] The whole.
Steve Sailer [00:55:44] You read the press. Yeah. There's been huge condemnation for of all.
Steve Sailer [00:55:51] The all the.
Steve Sailer [00:55:53] White families that fled crime.
Steve Sailer [00:55:56] As.
Steve Sailer [00:55:57] That they're engaging in white flight. And if their grandchildren move back to the city because the crime has come down a little, then then they're engaging in the great crime of gentrification.
Steve Sailer [00:56:08] You know, it's it's it's kind of you can't win, you know.
Steve Sailer [00:56:13] Either way you.
Steve Sailer [00:56:14] Lose. You know, there's all.
Steve Sailer [00:56:19] Sorts of talk. You know, Mayor Pete and the Transportation department's always denouncing racist roads, that building highways was destroying black neighborhoods and so forth.
Steve Sailer [00:56:33] You know.
Steve Sailer [00:56:34] We we've rewritten the past over and over again, so we don't learn anything from it because we just we just specify a few important, a few things that fit this narrative that everybody has now.
Steve Sailer [00:57:03] One of those words. It's not a secret what the Di people want when they specify equity. What they're talking about, when they're talking about equity and generational wealth and so forth, is they want your equity in your home, and they want to tax it away and take it as reparations.
Steve Sailer [00:57:24] And spend it on themselves. And that's.
Steve Sailer [00:57:27] That's kind of the the.
Steve Sailer [00:57:29] Bottom line.
Steve Sailer [00:57:30] Whether that'll get carried out I don't know. We've we've seen reparation programs start to put out checks in super liberal places like Evanston, Illinois. Even in California, the idea of.
Steve Sailer [00:57:42] Handing out.
Steve Sailer [00:57:43] Huge checks to black people for the the horrors of living in California.
Steve Sailer [00:57:50] Didn't go that well.
Tucker [00:57:52] We have two large Hispanic population.
Steve Sailer [00:57:55] Yeah. So.
Tucker [00:57:56] But can I ask, how exactly would, the community steal the equity out of your home?
Steve Sailer [00:58:04] Well, I mean, one.
Steve Sailer [00:58:06] Start has been.
Steve Sailer [00:58:07] To reopen ancient.
Steve Sailer [00:58:10] History.
Steve Sailer [00:58:16] What do you call it when.
Steve Sailer [00:58:17] The government condemns your property and sells and buys it for what it thinks it's worth?
Steve Sailer [00:58:23] We've.
Steve Sailer [00:58:24] We've seen cases of.
Tucker [00:58:25] Eminent domain.
Steve Sailer [00:58:25] Yeah, eminent.
Steve Sailer [00:58:26] Domain cases from a century ago.
Steve Sailer [00:58:29] We saw.
Steve Sailer [00:58:32] So if.
Steve Sailer [00:58:32] You if.
Steve Sailer [00:58:33] If you're black and you happen to have a family legend that we used to own this really nice piece of property, but then it got eminent domain to make into a park that that was racist. And we should get that property back. So.
Steve Sailer [00:58:47] The.
Steve Sailer [00:58:48] Descendants of a black family in Manhattan Beach recently.
Steve Sailer [00:58:52] Who, Manhattan.
Steve Sailer [00:58:54] Beach had.
Steve Sailer [00:58:55] Had.
Steve Sailer [00:58:57] Condemned their property and a few other and some white neighbors of theirs to build a park. And they recently got the city council to declare that that was racist in 1928.
Steve Sailer [00:59:10] And that if.
Steve Sailer [00:59:12] It wasn't for this, they no doubt would have held on to the property through the depression, through everything that's happened ever since. They would they would have scrimped and saved to hold on to that land next to the beach, which is now worth $20 million. So they got a check for $20 million.
Steve Sailer [00:59:32] For that, you'll you'll see.
Steve Sailer [00:59:35] You know, this is a general trend. That's, that's speeding up is, you know, plaintiffs attorneys are looking for these old cases.
Steve Sailer [00:59:44] And, you know, it's.
Steve Sailer [00:59:45] Not like they can relitigate the case because there's nobody alive that remembers the can testify or anything like that.
Steve Sailer [00:59:55] So there'll be there'll be lots of.
Steve Sailer [00:59:57] Attempts like that to, you know, basically hand out large amounts of.
Steve Sailer [01:00:02] Money and. And maybe.
Steve Sailer [01:00:06] Maybe it won't be called reparations, but. But you'll see this. And it's it's definitely been increasing the 2020.

(Continued from 1st 15 minutes and 2nd 15 minutes.)
**************************************
Tucker [00:30:08] So these governments obviously know you know, it's reality is not racist. You know, and by definition, I hope not. Why. Right. But again, sorry to keep asking variations of the same question, but what would be the motive in trying to hide something like that?
Steve Sailer [00:30:27] All right. I my theory is that. It goes back to the grand strategy of the Democratic Party. It is enthusiastically assisted by other forms of the establishment, such as.
Steve Sailer [00:30:57] Be that America is becoming more diverse. Immigration is driving diversity. Patterns of interracial marriage make more people who are have some claim to be nonwhite. Also, there's the constant generation of new identities.
Steve Sailer [00:31:19] Such as, in.
Steve Sailer [00:31:20] The last decade, transgenderism. So as America becomes more diverse, the Democratic Party can profit by being the party of diversity, the party of the diverse, the party.
Steve Sailer [00:31:35] Of.
Steve Sailer [00:31:36] People from fringes of American society, the party of people that the Democrats would call the marginalized from the margins of American society. So you're talking about immigrants. You're talking.
Steve Sailer [00:31:49] About, black.
Steve Sailer [00:31:51] Church ladies, transgenders.
Steve Sailer [00:31:56] Jews, Muslims.
Steve Sailer [00:31:58] It cetera. ET cetera.
Steve Sailer [00:32:01] Now, the one problem with all this is. That while it's.
Steve Sailer [00:32:07] It works pretty well on paper, and the Democrats have managed to win the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections.
Steve Sailer [00:32:17] The problem.
Steve Sailer [00:32:18] Is keeping this coalition of the fringes, the marginalized, from turning on each other, from becoming a circular firing squad.
Tucker [00:32:27] And because a lot of the components have very little in common.
Steve Sailer [00:32:30] Yeah.
Steve Sailer [00:32:31] As we're seeing with Jews and Muslims right now.
Steve Sailer [00:32:36] It's, you know.
Steve Sailer [00:32:37] These people do not like each other through the black church ladies who were the steadfast Democrats, did they do they really get along that well with the gays, much less with the transgenders? Do the do the Asian immigrants have much in common.
Steve Sailer [00:32:55] With, with Hispanic immigrants? Nah. Not really. You can go on and on. Yeah, it's.
Steve Sailer [00:33:03] It's inherent in the Democrats grand strategy to be the party of, diversity, the party on the fringes of American society.
Steve Sailer [00:33:12] So.
Steve Sailer [00:33:13] How can they unite their coalition of the margins?
Steve Sailer [00:33:17] And the one.
Steve Sailer [00:33:18] Strategy the Democrats have come up with,
Steve Sailer [00:33:22] Basically to foster? Racist animus against poor Americans, people who. You know, basically or demographically somewhat like George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams, you know, that are that are white, that are men that are straight, maybe they own homes, maybe they're married, they have kids.
Steve Sailer [00:33:54] So the and to make.
Steve Sailer [00:33:57] Them the bad guys in the American narrative, and that's the only thing the Democrats and their colleagues in academia, etcetera, can think of to hold together this diverse coalition. So we've seen this enormous increase in In just racist bigotry being expressed in.
Steve Sailer [00:34:22] You know, the.
Steve Sailer [00:34:23] Pages of the New York Times in the century, things that in the past would have been considered rather in poor taste and extremist. So the New York Times will.
Steve Sailer [00:34:35] You know, has put in.
Steve Sailer [00:34:36] A lot of effort in recent years explaining the racist, sexist slur of Karen as this anti white woman. Racist.
Steve Sailer [00:34:48] Slur.
Steve Sailer [00:34:49] To their their millions of subscribers so that they know just the right time to use it and they and they make sure not to use it on any, any nonwhite care and so forth. You recently had
Tucker [00:35:02] Can I just ask the my impression is that most of the readership of the New York Times is Karens.
Steve Sailer [00:35:07] Yeah. I would think.
Tucker [00:35:10] What I mean by that is it's like screechy, fragile, barren in PR listing middle aged lawyers.
Steve Sailer [00:35:17] Yeah.
Tucker [00:35:18] That's. Yeah. I mean, in my mind, not.
Steve Sailer [00:35:20] In the modal subscriber, perhaps. And yeah, the you know, the.
Steve Sailer [00:35:26] New York Times is not the failing New York Times anymore. It's they've done a very good job of identifying people who will pay to subscribe to have their world view vindicated over and over again and.
Steve Sailer [00:35:41] And kind of.
Steve Sailer [00:35:42] For the times to bury inconvenient facts.
Steve Sailer [00:35:46] That don't.
Steve Sailer [00:35:47] Support their view of the world, you know, in the 27th paragraph or something.
Steve Sailer [00:35:51] Like that.
Steve Sailer [00:35:53] So, yeah, you recently had on Jeremy Karl. He's got a new book, The Unprotected Class, The Documents of Great Length, just this trend toward ever more. Anti-White racism in the respectable press and in media and the Democratic speeches and so forth.
Steve Sailer [00:36:15] And, you know, I it's finally.
Steve Sailer [00:36:17] Starting to to to backfire on Democrats. People are starting to notice.
Steve Sailer [00:36:24] Just, just how much awful stuff is said about kind of.
Steve Sailer [00:36:29] The core Americans that tend to vote.
Steve Sailer [00:36:32] Republican. So I don't know what I mean. If you've been seeing this.
Steve Sailer [00:36:37] Just over the last ten years, just the huge increases. And putting down white people.
Tucker [00:36:45] Have I noticed? Yeah, it's one of the defining facts of American society. And it's and it's always perpetrated by people who are simultaneously in the same sentence giving you a lecture about racism. Yes. Shut up, white man. You're evil for being white and racist, It's like there's so many. Like, the contradictions in that sentence are so inherent that, it's hard to believe anyone could utter it. But no, of course I noticed that. And I guess what I'm really struck by, and I don't know the answer, is why people put up with it. This is so at that point it's like, well, you know, like if you're attacking my children for their skin color, then I got my gun right. But nobody does get his gun. They just sort of sit there and. Okay. Yeah. Can you say anything like why I don't the why would anyone ever put up with that?
Steve Sailer [00:37:32] I mean, I mean white, white Americans.
Steve Sailer [00:37:35] Go out of their way.
Steve Sailer [00:37:36] Not. To to just go. Oh, yes.
Steve Sailer [00:37:41] I hear what you're.
Steve Sailer [00:37:42] Saying about how the.
Steve Sailer [00:37:44] Evils of whiteness and.
Steve Sailer [00:37:47] And my, and people will go on and on about, you know, what you're saying isn't as moronic as it sounds.
Steve Sailer [00:38:35] And the hate filled bigotry.
Steve Sailer [00:38:37] It's it's.
Steve Sailer [00:38:38] Actually you're getting this and it all goes back to Marxism or it's or Fusco or something.
Steve Sailer [00:38:46] Like that. So, yeah.
Steve Sailer [00:38:50] Republicans, whites have been reluctant.
Steve Sailer [00:38:54] To call out just.
Steve Sailer [00:38:56] Anti-white racism for.
Steve Sailer [00:38:58] What it is.
Tucker [00:39:00] But why is, I mean, clearly something we're broken inside, right? I mean, like, why would you put up with an attack that's, you know, inherently unreasonable, right? You don't choose your race. Or if Republican attacks on on the basis of his race, it's totally anti American as defined by consensus over the last 60 years. That's one thing we're not allowed to do. And yet it's done at greater scale now than during the Jim Crow period. So like why would you even consider putting up with that. There must be something wrong with you. Like you hate yourself, obviously.
Steve Sailer [00:39:34] Yeah. Republicans. They Republicans like other other races. And good for them. And and yeah, they want they want to blame.
Steve Sailer [00:39:53] The tendency that's been growing, especially in the Black Lives Matter era of the last decade, to just say the most bigoted things they say.
Steve Sailer [00:40:04] They want to blame.
Steve Sailer [00:40:05] It on something old, like Marxism.
Steve Sailer [00:40:08] This isn't what.
Steve Sailer [00:40:10] African Americans want to say.
Steve Sailer [00:40:13] You know, the my sons, I my.
Steve Sailer [00:40:16] Son's friends on his high school football team, they're not they're not bigoted racists. And the truth is, you know, a lot of them aren't. I mean, a lot of this stuff is coming out of colleges and so forth. It's it's kind of soft. Agree majors and so on.
Steve Sailer [00:40:33] But, you know, taking taking.
Steve Sailer [00:40:37] Claims to have some deep intellectual heritage.
Steve Sailer [00:40:42] Is.
Steve Sailer [00:40:43] Naive. It's just it's just people with.
Steve Sailer [00:40:46] The soft.
Steve Sailer [00:40:47] Majors who got these and and cures and so forth and corporations and colleges, you know, just expressing their, their basic prejudices, their basic bigotry and.
Steve Sailer [00:41:03] You know, we.
Steve Sailer [00:41:03] Should be laughing at it. We shouldn't be taking it that seriously. We should be satirizing it and scorning it and making jokes about it. And that could well get the message across.
Tucker [00:41:16] You may have come to the obvious conclusion that the real debate is not between Republican and Democrat or socialist and capitalist. Right, left. The real battles between people who are lying on purpose, and people who are trying to tell you the truth. It's between good and evil. It's between honesty and falsehood. And we hope we are on the former side. That's why we created this network, the Tucker Carlson Network, and we invite you to subscribe to it. Go to Tucker carlson.com/podcast. Our entire archive. Is there a lot of behind the scenes footage of what actually happens in this barn? When only an iPhone is running Tucker carlson.com/podcast? You will not regret it. So can I ask? I think a lot of people assume that when whites who obviously founded the country become a minority in the country, their ancestors founded, that, it'll stop.
Steve Sailer [00:42:46] Sort of faded from the newspapers. The New York Times mentioned Emmett Till's name twice in 2000, in 1980. In 2000, they were up to mentioning him four times by 2018. They were mentioning him something like one and a half times a week about. About as often as Chief Justice John Roberts, really in the New York Times. It just became this huge breaking news story. And they that, you know, I joke.
Steve Sailer [00:43:19] That they had a, you know, had a jet at LaGuardia fueled up, always ready to fly to anywhere to report on the latest Emmett Till news, All right. That this kind of. Liberals is the liberals have been pretty much in charge of most things, involving race for since the 1960s.
Steve Sailer [00:43:53] Hide their record and focus people on pre-civil rights. Antiquity, such as Emmett Till. Or you constantly hear these days about, FDA's redlining of FHA loans in 1938 as the reason.
Steve Sailer [00:44:14] That.
Steve Sailer [00:44:15] Black neighborhoods tend to have lower property values than, white neighborhoods or Latino or Asian neighborhoods. And, you know, couldn't have anything to do with current crime rates. It couldn't have anything to do.
Steve Sailer [00:44:30] With.
Steve Sailer [00:44:31] With discipline in the local schools. It's got to do with the nefarious plot of FDR. You know, in almost 90 years ago.
Tucker [00:44:43] And why does no one so off, you know, the all these southern cities are famous in American culture for their association, you know, the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Selma, Alabama, the, you know, the trial in Wilmington. Oh, you know, there's like these moments in the civil rights era that people are still, as you pointed out, talking about Philadelphia, Mississippi. Why does no one ever go back to those places, those physical places, and find out how they're doing?
