I WANT TO START OFF WITH AN AWESOME PIECE THAT
MOTHER JONES DID IN REGARD TO A PUBLISHING HOUSE THAT
PUBLISHES BOOKS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ANN COULTER AND MICHELE
BACHMANN AND NEWT GINGRICH.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PUBLISHER THAT LOVES TO PUT OUT BOOKS THAT
DON'T TELL THE TRUTH.
THE NAME OF THIS PUBLISHING HOUSE IS REGNERY.
THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, IT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
APPARENTLY THE AIM TO THIS PUBLISHER IS FUNDING RIGHT
WING EXTREMISTS LIKE RICHARD SPENCER AND OTHER PEOPLE
WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES WHITE SUPREMACISTS.
WILLIAM H. REGNERY THE SECOND IS WHO WE ARE HAVING A
CONVERSATION ABOUT AND HE IS THE NEPHEW OF THE FOUNDER HENRY
REGNERY AND FOR YEARS HAS BEEN TERRIFIED OF WHITES
BECOMING A MINORITY IN THE UNITED STATES.
TO COMBAT THIS, HE HAS
GENEROUSLY FUNDED SEVERAL WHITE SUPREMACIST THINK TAKES
AND FIGURES SUCH AS RICHARD SPENCER.
THAT IS AN EXCERPT FROM RAW STORY BUT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY
CHECK OUT THE FULL PIECE FROM MOTHER JONES AND THEY
SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT THIS ONE INSTANCE WHERE HE GETS TOGETHER
WITH RICHARD SPENCER AND THEY PLAN ON HAVING SOME SORT OF
GET-TOGETHER MEET UP IN HUNGRY AFTER THEY HAD ELECTED A
RIGHT-WINGER AND SO THEY WANTED TO KIND OF GATHER PEOPLE
TOGETHER AND START PUSHING FOR THIS WHITE MOVEMENT.
THE AUTHORITIES THERE THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A CIA OPERATION,
THAT THEY WERE SENDING THESE CRAZY RIGHT-WINGERS INTO THEIR
COUNTRY TO GET DIRT ON PEOPLE IN THEIR COUNTRY AND THEN THEY
WOULD USE THAT AS MATERIAL TO EXTORT THEM IN SOME WAY.
IT WAS JUST INSANE CONSPIRACY THEORY.
SO
AS A RESULT WHEN RICHARD SPENCER SHOWED UP IN 2013 AUTHORITIES
IMMEDIATELY SENT BACK TO THE UNITED STATES AND THEN HE
DECIDED TO TRY TO RE-ENTER THE COUNTRY ON A TRAIN AND
THEY CAUGHT HIM AND SEND HIM BACK TO UNITED STATES AGAIN.
THAT IS SUPER INTERESTING BUT WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THAT
REGNERY IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT WHITES BECOMING A MINORITY
IN THE COUNTRY AND HE WANTS TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT.
WELL GUESS WHAT, I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU: IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
THAT IS INEVITABLE.
THE ALARMING PART OF IT, IT IS A GREAT STORY FROM MOTHER JONES
AND EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT BUT THE PROPAGANDA, THE LEGITIMIZING
OF WHITE SUPREMACY THROUGH FUNDING THESE THINGS, THE
NATIONAL POLICY INSTITUTE.
AGAIN, I AM INTERESTED IN THESE
FIGURES IN THE NATIONAL POLICY INSTITUTE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
WASN'T TAKEN AND NOW IT IS THE WHITE CITIZENS COUNCIL IN
MISSISSIPPI.
THIS CURRENT BRAND OF REPUBLICAN AND THEIR LEADERS, THIS IS A
DRESSING UP OF WHITE HATE, THAT IS ALL THIS IS.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF LEGITIMATE CONSERVATIVE THINK TANKS
THAT THINK CONSERVATIVELY.
THIS IS ANOTHER THING ALTOGETHER AND THE DANGER IS, AND THE
TRAGEDY OF IT IS THAT THE MAINSTREAM RIGHT WING HAS NOT
STOOD UP AND REPUDIATED THIS AND BROKEN AWAY FROM IT IN ANY WAY.
LATELY THEY HAVEN'T.
WHAT I WANTED TO BRING UP IN THE REASON WHY I SAY LATELY
THEY HAVEN'T IS BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING, THEY DID.
THE REGNERYíS WERE VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH ESTABLISHMENT
REPUBLICANS FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THEN AT SOME POINT WILLIAM H
REGNERY THE SECOND DECIDED I DON'T CARE ABOUT BEING ACCEPTED
IN THESE ESTABLISHMENT CIRCLES.
I LIKE THE MORE EXTREME MEMBERS OF THE RIGHT AND THAT WAS WHEN
HE STARTED TO ALIGN HIMSELF WITH PEOPLE LIKE RICHARD SPENCER AND IT
REGARD TO HIM, HE SAID THE FOLLOWING, I AM NOW PERSUADED
THAT WITH YOUR COURAGE THE ALL RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY WILL
PREVAIL.
IT IS AMAZING.
THE EMBRACING OF THAT EXTREMISM IS GOING TO BE HORRIBLY
DISAPPOINTING, BUT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING TO THE END OF IT ALL,
THERE COULD BE A LOT OF PRETTY NASTY MOMENTS ALONG THE WAY AND
THESE POCKETS OF WHITE EXTREMISM ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
I USED TO THINK THEY WERE JUST CONCENTRATED IN THE DEEP
SOUTH, CERTAINLY THAT'S WHERE THEY HAD A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT GENESIS BUT THEY DO EXIST NATIONWIDE AND IN A
STORY LIKE THIS, THERE'S SO MUCH GREAT STUFF BEING DONE BY MOTHER
JONES AND THIS IS YET ANOTHER GREAT STORY, IT IS SHOCKING.
I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS AS WIDESPREAD A PROBLEM AS WE
ARE LED TO BELIEVE IN PART BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCCESSFULLY
PROPAGANDIZING IN A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY THAN THEY HAVE.
THEY KNOW THEY ARE A VERY SMALL GROUP, BUT THEY HAVE MONEY
AND THEY STARTED THINK TAKEN THAT INEVITABLY, WE WILL
TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY.
BUT I DON'T KNOW.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT TRACK
THIS THAT ARE MUCH BETTER SUITED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
THEN I.
AND I RESPOND A LITTLE BIT TO THE OBJECTS WHICH ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH, THIS MANY PEOPLE SHOULD UP TO THIS
WHITE POWER RALLY AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE THEM ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY AND IT ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT NUMBER.
IS USUALLY A COUPLE OF HUNDRED, BUT THEY ALSO ARE
MET WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS AND THE COUPLE HUNDREDS AS WELL.
THERE'S NO QUESTION THERE'S A GREATER COUNTER PROTEST BUT
THAT IS TO SAY THERE IS A GREATER COUNTERBALANCE TO
THE WHITE POWER LOBBY.
I AM WHITE.
I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
I DON'T FEEL THREATENED BY BEING A MINORITY I DON'T SAY
EMBEDDED NIGHT ROCKING BACK AND FORTH THINKING ABOUT THE NUMBERS
LIKE OH MY GOD, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF UNITED STATES IS WHY?
IT IS JUST SUPER WEIRD TO ME HOW AFRAID THEY ARE OF PEOPLE
WHO AREN'T WHITES AND HERE IS A STATEMENT FROM GREGORY THAT
JUST AMAZED ME.
HE SAID WORSE, FLOOD OF IMMIGRANTS WERE CHANGING
THE LOOK OF AMERICA FROM A PALLET OF PRIME COLORS TO A
THIRD WORLD MONOCHROME.
DON'T SAY IT THAT WAY DUCK
THAT IS REALLY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE THOUGH.
THIS IS PART OF THE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN WORLD WHICH IS
THAT IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN IT WAS JUST ALL ONE COLOR
AND THAT COLOR WAS WHITE.
I DON'T MEAN TO STATED TOO STARKLY, BUT REALLY THAT IS
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD OLD DAYS BEFORE ALL THE IMMIGRANTS
GOT HERE AND THERE ALWAYS DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND
THIS MALL HAS ALL THESE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ETHNIC FOODS.
REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS WITH THE GENERAL STORE AND
EVERYONE DROVE A FORD OR CHEVY?
THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
THIS IS AN OUTGROWTH OF THAT SO WHEN I HEAR MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN, I THINK THAT APPEALS TO THESE PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO MAKE AMERICA THAT WAY AGAIN.
THIS IS THE OTHER THING.
YOU WILL SEE IT WHEN PEOPLE OF BEEN IN POWER AND IT IS THE KIND
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN POWER THAT LIKE TO OPPRESS OTHER PEOPLE.
THEY ASSUME EVERYONE IS LIKE THEM.
OH MY GOD, IF WE END UP BEING THE MINORITIES, YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO?
THE SAME THING THAT WE DID AND THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO
GET OPPRESSED OR BEATEN DOWN OR ENSLAVED.
THEY ALREADY THINK THEY ARE.
THAT IS WHAT THEIR MINDSET IS.
THEY THINK ALL MY GOD, IF I'M AT THE RULING CLASS BASED OFF
OF RACE, THEN SUDDENLY, THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT TO ME
BECAUSE THEY THINK EVERYONE IS JUST LIKE THEM.
TO BEEN SOME POINT, I JUST DON'T NECESSARILY THINK IT'S A
BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE, BUT LOOK OF VIGOROUS THEIR MOVEMENT IS
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE POLITICS OF IT AND IF YOU SEE THE IT AS
A BROADER THING THAT IS BEING REINFORCED AT THE HIGHEST
LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW THEN ALL
OF A SUDDEN THEY DON'T NEED TO BE HUGE NUMBERS.
I WISH WE HAD SOMEBODY, I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO
SOMEBODY FROM THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER BECAUSE THEY
TRACK THIS I WOULD BE TOTALLY CURIOUS, THEY TRACKED THE ACTUAL
NUMBERS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW MUCH DOES IT MATTER?
THE REASON I BROUGHT THE WHITE CITIZENS COUNCIL BECAUSE
THE CLAN RECOGNIZED, WE CAN'T WALK AROUND WITH THE SHEETS
OVERHEAD, PEOPLE THINK WE ARE CLOWNS.
WAS PUT ON THE SHIRT ANTI-AND LET'S CALL IT THE WHITE CITIZENS
COUNCIL AND THEY WOULD HAVE A BETTER NAME FOR NOW, THEY WOULD
CALL IT THE CITIZENS COUNCIL NOW AND LET'S CLEAN IT UP AND WILL
STILL DO THE DAMAGE THAT WE WANT TO DO, BUT WE WILL DO IT UNDER
THE WILL MAKE IT LOOK OFFICIAL, WILL MAKE IT LOOK CLEAN AND NICE
AND WE WILL MAKE PEOPLE WHO WILL SUPPORT THE CLAN FEEL MORE
COMFORTABLE SUPPORTING US AND I AM CURIOUS WHAT THE NATIONAL
POLICY INSTITUTE, WHITE NATIONALIST THINK TANK AND WHAT
GUYS LIKE RICHARD SPENCER WHO IS AFFABLE AND PRESENTABLE AND
WEARS A TIE AND WE DONíT SEE HIM MARCHING DOWN THE STREET
WITH A SWASTIKA TATTOO.
HE LOOKS PRESENTABLE.
WHAT IS I DO THE MOVEMENT?
IS THAT WORTH 1 MILLION PEOPLE?
IS THAT WERE 2 MILLION PEOPLE?
THE PROPAGANDA, EVERYBODY IS BETTER AT PROPAGANDA RIGHT NOW
EXCEPT FOR THE DEMOCRATS, AND PART OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
BETTER AT THIS PROPAGANDA IS THIS MOVEMENT AND PROPAGANDA IS
DANGEROUS AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND HAVING A
PUBLISHER IN THEIR POCKET ONLY HELPS.
