The Jason Arday Scandal Is EVEN Worse Than You Think · The Matt Walsh Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Black Londoners and other leftists did not take to the
0:03
Speaker 1: streets in large numbers following the murder of Henry Novak,
0:06
Speaker 1: a white college student who was butchered on the sidewalk
0:09
Speaker 1: late last year in Southampton by a foreigner, only for
0:11
Speaker 1: the police to mock him as he took his dying breaths.
0:14
Speaker 1: Nor did Black Londoners and other leftists hold massive demonstrations
0:17
Speaker 1: after a disabled white guy was nearly beheaded in Belfast
0:21
Speaker 1: in the middle of the road by one of the
0:23
Speaker 1: millions of barbaric fake asylum seekers who have been allowed
0:26
Speaker 1: into Europe. And they certainly didn't hold any events in
0:29
Speaker 1: support of Anne Whitacombe, the elderly white conservative politician who
0:33
Speaker 1: was just brutally executed in her own home. She was
0:36
Speaker 1: hit 21 times on the head with a hammer simply
0:39
Speaker 1: because she wanted to end the mass demographic replacement that's
0:42
Speaker 1: been underway in the UK for many years now. None
0:45
Speaker 1: of these horrific events in the eyes of black British
0:48
Speaker 1: activists and other leftists merited any concern whatsoever. Instead, these
0:53
Speaker 1: ghouls have been biding their time, waiting for their very
0:56
Speaker 1: own George Floyd moment to galvanize their fellow communists. For
1:01
Speaker 1: years now, they've been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to canonize
1:05
Speaker 1: a homegrown BLM martyr, their very own, someone they can
1:09
Speaker 1: call their own, meaning a degenerate criminal, a liar, a
1:13
Speaker 1: sociopath who's a clear net negative for society. And with
1:16
Speaker 1: the untimely death of Jason Arday, the disgraced Cambridge professor
1:21
Speaker 1: DEI hire who lied about every aspect of his life
1:23
Speaker 1: story while also fabricating data and plagiarizing all of his
1:26
Speaker 1: important publications, it's clear that leftist mobs in Britain have
1:30
Speaker 1: finally found the martyr that they were waiting for. That's
1:34
Speaker 1: very evident based on the utterly deranged and psychotic display
1:37
Speaker 1: that just took place in Trafalgar Square in London on
1:41
Speaker 1: Monday in support of Arday. This was a cult-like event
1:44
Speaker 1: that has no parallel, at least going back to 2020.
1:48
Speaker 1: And the footage from this alleged vigil is genuinely hard
1:53
Speaker 1: to believe. It's so extraordinary that after we go through it,
1:56
Speaker 1: we have an obligation to look even closer at Jason
1:59
Speaker 1: Arday and his alleged quote unquote scholarship, which these leftists
2:03
Speaker 1: are defending, even though none of them have read his
2:05
Speaker 1: scholarship in the first place. None of them. That's exactly
2:09
Speaker 1: what we're going to do later on in the show. Together,
2:11
Speaker 1: we're going to sit through one of Arday's lectures, or
2:15
Speaker 1: at least part of one, as much as we can stomach.
2:18
Speaker 1: We'll get to pretend to be Cambridge students for a day,
2:21
Speaker 1: and we'll uncover just how vapid and mush-brained this guy was.
2:26
Speaker 1: We'll also page through some of his research findings, and
2:28
Speaker 1: we'll bask in the preposterous, almost unbelievable incompetence of this
2:33
Speaker 1: total fraud who the left is now desperately trying to
2:36
Speaker 1: turn into a BLM martyr. But first, let's talk about
2:39
Speaker 1: what happened in Trafalgar Square. So to recap the backstory,
2:44
Speaker 1: if you didn't listen to the show yesterday, Arday was
2:47
Speaker 1: a plagiarist, a thug, a criminal, a narcissist, and a fraudster.
2:51
Speaker 1: He is now also dead after having apparently taken his
2:54
Speaker 1: own life. Although given his track record for honesty, I
2:57
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he were sitting on a beach
2:59
Speaker 1: somewhere right now. I mean, who knows? He was promoted
3:02
Speaker 1: to full professor by white liberal women at Cambridge, even
3:05
Speaker 1: though he lied about every single aspect of his life story.
3:08
Speaker 1: And even though he fabricated data in his academic work,
3:11
Speaker 1: in addition to plagiarizing entire passages across multiple articles, as
3:16
Speaker 1: well as his dissertation, Arday was hired for an extremely
3:19
Speaker 1: competitive position at one of the most famous universities in
3:21
Speaker 1: the world solely because he was black. These people were
3:26
Speaker 1: desperate to find a competent black scholar and they had
3:29
Speaker 1: to settle on Jason Arday. And once they hired him,
3:32
Speaker 1: because no one at Cambridge has any integrity, there was
3:35
Speaker 1: no looking back. So when he claimed that he ran
3:38
Speaker 1: 300 miles in three days or that invisible masked men
3:42
Speaker 1: with knives had chased him around campus, or that a
3:45
Speaker 1: pig's head was left on the front porch of his
3:47
Speaker 1: parents' house, or that he couldn't read or write until
3:50
Speaker 1: he was 18, or that he had multiple tumors and epilepsy,
3:53
Speaker 1: none of these obviously false claims bothered anybody at Cambridge,
3:57
Speaker 1: they kept doubling down and tripling down, lashing out at
4:01
Speaker 1: anybody who told the truth. In the end, rather than
4:04
Speaker 1: face the consequences of his own actions, Arday chose to
4:07
Speaker 1: end his life and leave his two children behind. Now,
4:11
Speaker 1: at the risk of understatement, There is no conceivable defense
4:15
Speaker 1: of Arday's actions, nor is there a legitimate line of
4:19
Speaker 1: attack against the media or against Nathan Kofnes, who's the
4:22
Speaker 1: former Cambridge academic who publicized Arday's fraud this summer. Arday
4:27
Speaker 1: is the one who desperately courted media attention at every opportunity.
4:30
Speaker 1: He also wrote a memoir, which he sold to Simon
4:32
Speaker 1: & Schuster, that was full of outright lies about his biography.
4:36
Speaker 1: He went out of his way to deceive everybody in
4:39
Speaker 1: a very public fashion. And when people raised questions about
4:42
Speaker 1: his research or about his biography, he brought in a
4:45
Speaker 1: law firm to harass them, even called the police on
4:49
Speaker 1: a professor who noticed the plagiarism. Any society that sees
4:53
Speaker 1: any value in a delusional, narcissistic con man like Jason
4:57
Speaker 1: Arday is doomed to fail. That's exactly what we saw
5:00
Speaker 1: on Monday in London's Trafalgar Square. Thousands of leftists gathered
5:04
Speaker 1: not to pray for the salvation of Jason Arday's soul
5:07
Speaker 1: or to reflect on how many white men have been
5:09
Speaker 1: subjected to discrimination in Britain for the benefit of incompetent
5:12
Speaker 1: black frauds like Arday, or to demand the termination of
5:16
Speaker 1: every white woman at Cambridge who hired him, that all
5:19
Speaker 1: would have been justified. Instead, the mob gathered to honor
5:22
Speaker 1: Arday as a BLM martyr, as a victim of systemic racism, who,
5:27
Speaker 1: in their view, somehow led an honorable life. At one point,
5:31
Speaker 1: a speaker stated that Arday had been assassinated. And again,
5:35
Speaker 1: it was just Mass psychosis all over the place. Watch.
5:41
Speaker 2: Today of all days is very much a day for
5:54
Speaker 2: white people to.
5:55
Speaker 1: Listen and not to speak. So I'm going to be really,
6:01
Speaker 1: really quick.
6:06
Speaker 3: The truth that as many of you I think know
6:09
Speaker 3: is that many white people do not recognise the richness,
6:15
Speaker 3: the common humanity of black people. I think you know
6:21
Speaker 3: that in your heart of hearts and I think that
6:24
Speaker 3: it's important that a white person stands.
6:26
Speaker 1: On this stage and acknowledges it. And fixing that....
6:34
Speaker 3: Fixing that is many, many generations' work. But my promise
6:39
Speaker 3: to you is this. No other industry in the country,
6:44
Speaker 3: in the world, is allowed to monetise human pain and suffering.
6:52
Speaker 3: No other industry is allowed to profit from those things
6:56
Speaker 3: without being regulated. And nor should our increasingly revolting press.
7:06
Speaker 1: Now, it's truly surreal to watch. A white guy gets
7:15
Speaker 1: up there, says, you know, white people shouldn't talk because
7:18
Speaker 1: they're white. Then he talks anyway, and he says that
7:21
Speaker 1: white people don't recognize the richness and common humanity of
7:25
Speaker 1: black people. Now, I've never met a white person in
7:27
Speaker 1: my life who fails to recognize or denies the humanity
7:32
Speaker 1: of black people. In fact, black people are much more
7:34
Speaker 1: likely to have their humanity recognized and explicitly affirmed than
7:38
Speaker 1: are white people. And as for richness, that's really a
7:42
Speaker 1: case-by-case basis sort of thing. I mean, Jason Arday's life,
7:45
Speaker 1: for example, was rich with deception and unearned achievement. So
7:50
Speaker 1: it was rich in that sense. And the white guy
7:52
Speaker 1: says the media should be regulated because they exposed Arday
7:56
Speaker 1: as the fraud that he is. And the mob cheers.
8:00
Speaker 1: They're openly demanding that the government shut down the media
8:04
Speaker 1: for accurately reporting on an utterly humiliating degenerate DEI hire
8:09
Speaker 1: who disgraced himself and his university. It's not my commentary.
8:13
Speaker 1: It's explicitly what's happening. To be totally clear about this,
8:17
Speaker 1: the average leftist, regardless of what they might say in public,
8:20
Speaker 1: understands that different racial groups tend to have different outcomes
8:24
Speaker 1: in life. They tend to have different physical appearances, different
8:28
Speaker 1: athletic abilities, different average IQs. That's why there are many
8:32
Speaker 1: more black players in the NBA than white players, just
8:35
Speaker 1: as there are many more white professors than black professors.
8:39
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that no white guy can be a good
8:41
Speaker 1: NBA player or that no black guy can be a
8:43
Speaker 1: good professor, but the averages are what they are. Everyone
8:47
Speaker 1: understands this. In any group, actually, you're going to have averages.
8:51
Speaker 1: In any group, you're going to have similarities and differences.
8:54
Speaker 1: In any group, you're going to have like positive traits
8:58
Speaker 1: that are generally shared and more negative traits. That's any group.
9:02
Speaker 1: And if you don't have any similarities, any common traits
9:06
Speaker 1: in a group, then it's not a group. I mean,
9:08
Speaker 1: by definition, calling it a group means that there are
9:10
Speaker 1: some things you can say about it that are generally
9:12
Speaker 1: true of that group that aren't true of other groups.
9:16
Speaker 1: And again, if you can't say that, then it's not
9:18
Speaker 1: a group by definition. The left's mission when it comes
9:23
Speaker 1: to DEI is to invent an alternate reality where these
9:27
Speaker 1: disparities and differences don't exist. But they have a big problem.
9:33
Speaker 1: There simply aren't many qualified black academics available to hire.
9:37
Speaker 1: So instead of accepting the fact that some disparities are inevitable,
9:43
Speaker 1: they're desperately picking random delusional black guys off the street
9:47
Speaker 1: and making them professors at Cambridge. They're engaging in social
9:51
Speaker 1: engineering that's premised on lie after lie, and eventually it
9:54
Speaker 1: becomes unsustainable. And they feel like they're losing control of
9:58
Speaker 1: the debate, which they are. so now they're demanding that
10:01
Speaker 1: the government step in at gunpoint and shut down everyone
10:04
Speaker 1: who's exposing their fraud, which is fundamentally anti-white and anti-civilization.
10:09
Speaker 1: That white speaker in the footage who was supposedly afraid
10:12
Speaker 1: to speak, I guess, is apparently named Julian Magim. He
10:17
Speaker 1: runs a leftist organization called the Good Law Project. This
10:20
Speaker 1: is an organization that's been spearheading the push to turn
10:22
Speaker 1: Arday into a BLM martyr from the moment that he died.
10:25
Speaker 1: And eventually, true to his word, he did stop speaking
10:28
Speaker 1: mercifully and turned the microphone over to the brave people
10:31
Speaker 1: of color. And they proceeded to embarrass themselves as well
10:35
Speaker 1: at this so-called vigil.
10:38
Speaker 4: Watch.
10:40
Speaker 5: Racism did this. And I think we should be able
10:43
Speaker 5: to say that plainly this afternoon. There is another reason
10:48
Speaker 5: for my anger. For so many of us, Cambridge was
10:52
Speaker 5: once imagined as an arrival. We worked towards places like this.
10:58
Speaker 5: We believed in the university, in the academy, in knowledge.
11:03
Speaker 5: Perhaps we even believed that if we could make our
11:06
Speaker 5: way through these gates and take our seat in these
11:10
Speaker 5: rooms and learn their language well enough, become scholars ourselves,
11:16
Speaker 5: then we might finally have the tools to change something.
11:21
Speaker 5: And somewhere inside that, there was a hope that having
11:24
Speaker 5: arrived meant that we might belong. Jason's death and the
11:30
Speaker 5: cruelty and smear that surrounded him reminds us that for many,
11:36
Speaker 5: we do not belong.
11:39
Speaker 1: Well, you're exactly right, ma'am. You don't belong there. The
11:44
Speaker 1: vast majority of these non-white students don't belong at Cambridge
11:48
Speaker 1: or any other university. It's not racism to point that out.
11:51
Speaker 1: It's a product of the fact that Cambridge and every
11:54
Speaker 1: other university openly discriminates against white applicants and gives enormous
12:00
Speaker 1: deference and privilege to non-white applicants solely on the basis
12:04
Speaker 1: of their skin color. No applicant who receives any kind
12:08
Speaker 1: of benefit based on his skin color, whether he's a
12:10
Speaker 1: student or faculty member, belongs at Cambridge or anywhere else.
12:16
Speaker 1: And if these people had any shame whatsoever, they'd admit that. Instead,
12:20
Speaker 1: she pretends that she's being transgressive by blaming racism. Oh,
12:26
Speaker 1: she's just going to come out. She's going to come
12:27
Speaker 1: out and say it. You know, hey, we shouldn't be
12:30
Speaker 1: afraid to say this. I'm going to come out and
12:31
Speaker 1: say it right now to this group of leftist activists.
12:36
Speaker 1: This was racism. Wow. That took courage. It always takes
12:43
Speaker 1: courage to say something when you're surrounded by a mob
12:45
Speaker 1: that agrees with you. Actually, the transgressive thing would be
12:49
Speaker 1: to say that schools like Cambridge need to start hiring
12:52
Speaker 1: based on merit. And if that means that they have
12:56
Speaker 1: no black students, tough. Black students need to work harder.
13:01
Speaker 6: I guess.
13:02
Speaker 1: You know, cookie crumbles how it does, whatever. No, racism
13:08
Speaker 1: did not kill Jason Arday. Anti-white racism. got him the
13:12
Speaker 1: job in the first place. Anti-white racism got him a
13:15
Speaker 1: book deal and dozens of media appearances. Anti-white racism is
13:20
Speaker 1: the reason anybody knows his name. As long as we're
13:22
Speaker 1: being honest and speaking plainly, we should start there. In fact,
13:26
Speaker 1: if we're going to blame racism for Arday's death, it
13:29
Speaker 1: would be anti-white racism that killed him, arguably. Because without
13:33
Speaker 1: anti-white racism, he never would have been in any kind
13:36
Speaker 1: of prestigious position, which means he never would have been
13:38
Speaker 1: able to disgrace himself on the national stage. which means
13:41
Speaker 1: he'd probably still be alive, working as a receptionist at
13:45
Speaker 1: a dental office or something, where he could make up
13:47
Speaker 1: all the stories he wanted, and everybody there would just
13:49
Speaker 1: kind of nod their head and smile, and it would
13:52
Speaker 1: have been fine. Here's another sordid moment from this vigil,
13:57
Speaker 1: featuring one Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, Cambridge. Presumably,
14:03
Speaker 1: he was also elevated to that position because of his
14:06
Speaker 1: skin color, because he seems like the very definition of mediocrity. Watch.
14:12
Speaker 1: This time last week.
14:16
Speaker 7: I was with Jason because we knew Jason was suffering.
14:21
Speaker 7: We knew that he felt.
14:22
Speaker 1: Hounded by those rabid wolves.
14:27
Speaker 7: Jason wouldn't dare leave the house and we said, we'll
14:32
Speaker 7: get a taxi for you. We held him in our arms.
14:36
Speaker 7: We told him he was loved. He held Diane's hands
14:43
Speaker 7: And he said, I love you. But he said, they're
14:47
Speaker 7: hounding me to death. And I cannot see a way out.
14:59
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, Jason sounds like a weak, whiny shell of
15:03
Speaker 1: a man. I mean, here's a way out, Jason. Resign.
15:07
Speaker 1: Admit that you lied for your entire career. Admit that
15:09
Speaker 1: you fabricated data. Admit that you plagiarized. Then apologize. Be
15:15
Speaker 1: a man. Have some dignity. Beg the Lord's forgiveness. Commit
15:20
Speaker 1: your life to raising your two children so they don't
15:22
Speaker 1: repeat your many, many crimes against humanity. Would that be glamorous?
15:27
Speaker 1: Probably not. It would involve sacrifice and hard work and introspection.
15:32
Speaker 1: It would involve courage. That would actually take real courage.
15:36
Speaker 1: The kinds of things that, according to Cambridge, Jason Arday
15:38
Speaker 1: was supposed to be really good at. I mean, after all,
15:41
Speaker 1: this was a guy who overcame multiple tumors, epilepsy, masked
15:45
Speaker 1: bandits with knives, the complete inability to speak until he
15:49
Speaker 1: was 11, random pig heads on his porch, illiteracy, and
15:54
Speaker 1: so on. So he's used to taking some knocks, or
15:57
Speaker 1: so we're told. But it turns out he'd much rather
16:00
Speaker 1: leave his children alone on this earth so that demonic
16:03
Speaker 1: DEI fraudsters could pretend he's some kind of hero. He's not.
16:07
Speaker 1: He's utterly pathetic. And so was the parade of grotesque
16:11
Speaker 1: black activists who took the podium throughout this whole proceeding.
16:15
Speaker 1: The first woman you'll see here is a member of
16:17
Speaker 1: parliament named Diane Abbott. Watch.
16:22
Speaker 8: He was first appointed as a professor in Cambridge three
16:29
Speaker 8: years ago.
16:31
Speaker 6: And for those three years, He.
16:34
Speaker 8: Has had a vicious campaign, a bitter campaign by anonymous people,
16:41
Speaker 8: by other professors who just didn't believe that a black
16:46
Speaker 8: man should be a Cambridge professor.
16:50
Speaker 5: At his vigil tonight, thousands came to pay their respect,
16:53
Speaker 5: including one of his students.
16:56
Speaker 9: His scholarship mattered enormously to so many, but his greatest
16:59
Speaker 9: contribution cannot be found in a publication, a title or
17:03
Speaker 9: a citation, nor in his talks. It is found in
17:07
Speaker 9: people who continue to love him, in the lives he
17:10
Speaker 9: changed and the confidence he gave us and the doors
17:13
Speaker 9: that he fought to hold open behind him.
17:15
Speaker 4: The MP, Bill Rivera-Addy, passed on the family's words.
17:20
Speaker 6: The public cruelty Jason was subjected to was too much
17:25
Speaker 6: for any man to bear.
17:32
Speaker 1: Very intelligent. A lot of high IQs there. You look
17:36
Speaker 1: at that crowd and these are people who, their IQ
17:41
Speaker 1: is exceeded only by their BMI, I think we can say.
17:45
Speaker 1: No man could have possibly bore this, is what they
17:47
Speaker 1: tell us, really? No man could have bore it? I mean,
17:51
Speaker 1: there are men who have endured war, concentration camps, childhood abuse,
17:58
Speaker 1: horrific forms of cancer. I mean, you name it. And
18:01
Speaker 1: they've done so with infinitely more integrity and poise and
18:04
Speaker 1: grace than Jason Arday, who never demonstrated anything approaching integrity, poise,
18:08
Speaker 1: or grace in his entire life. The only thing that
18:11
Speaker 1: happened to him is that people told the truth about
18:13
Speaker 1: the scam he was running. That's it. And we're led
18:18
Speaker 1: to believe that he had no other choice but to
18:19
Speaker 1: kill himself. Incidentally, they also believe he had no choice
18:23
Speaker 1: but to plagiarize and lie constantly because after all, what's
18:27
Speaker 1: a black left-wing professor supposed to do? Come up with
18:29
Speaker 1: his own ideas? Don't be ridiculous. And by the way,
18:34
Speaker 1: in response to the first woman, no, the accusers were
18:37
Speaker 1: not anonymous. They put their names to their accusations, which
18:39
Speaker 1: is why you people are harassing them as well. Now,
18:43
Speaker 1: we haven't seen public demonstrations this pathological, this detached from
18:46
Speaker 1: reality since the summer of George Floyd. I mean, these
18:49
Speaker 1: are people who truly believe that If you're not white,
18:51
Speaker 1: then you simply cannot be held responsible for your own actions.
18:54
Speaker 1: Everything you do, no matter how unethical, degrading, psychotic, animalistic,
18:57
Speaker 1: or criminal, is somehow caused by white people. You can
19:01
Speaker 1: commit violent felonies every time you get out of prison,
19:03
Speaker 1: as George Floyd did. You can fabricate every aspect of
19:06
Speaker 1: your life story and all of your work product, as
19:08
Speaker 1: Jason Arday did. Arday even managed to abandon his children,
19:13
Speaker 1: just like George Floyd. And none of it matters to
19:16
Speaker 1: these people. As long as you're black, it's never your fault.
19:21
Speaker 1: So whose fault is it? Well, at this alleged vigil,
19:23
Speaker 1: the mob was pretty clear on that point. They blamed
19:26
Speaker 1: Nathan Coughness for Arday's death. They whipped themselves into a frenzy,
19:29
Speaker 1: in fact, about this because Coughness wrote a Substack article
19:33
Speaker 1: that proved beyond any doubt that Arday was a fraud.
19:36
Speaker 1: And because of that, the mob made it clear that
19:38
Speaker 1: he's their enemy. He's not welcome in London for telling
19:43
Speaker 1: the truth. We can't have any truth tellers in London.
19:46
Speaker 1: Your kind is not welcome around here, was their message. Watch.
19:55
Speaker 2: He calls himself a race realist.
20:01
Speaker 6: He was dismissed by Emanuel College because of his racism.
20:15
Speaker 1: Now, first of all, at a vigil, after somebody dies,
20:19
Speaker 1: like at a memorial, you're supposed to memorialize that person's life.
20:23
Speaker 1: That's kind of the whole point. And the problem for
20:26
Speaker 1: these activists is that Jason Arday's entire life was a fabrication,
20:29
Speaker 1: and he didn't do any actual work either. Like George
20:32
Speaker 1: Floyd before him, Jason Arday was merely a fraudster, someone
20:35
Speaker 1: who would rather die committing fraud than live an honest life.
20:39
Speaker 1: So they can't actually talk about his life in any
20:41
Speaker 1: meaningful way. Instead, they have to look outwards towards men
20:44
Speaker 1: like Nathan Kofnes. In fact, it's quite telling that this
20:48
Speaker 1: was a vigil for a man who allegedly spent his
20:52
Speaker 1: life fighting off masked attackers with knives and breaking world
20:56
Speaker 1: records with his endurance running skills and evading demonic racists
21:00
Speaker 1: who leave severed animal heads on his porch and achieving
21:04
Speaker 1: academic prominence despite being illiterate and many other accomplishments. And
21:08
Speaker 1: yet the people memorializing him didn't mention any of that.
21:13
Speaker 1: That's pretty rough. Imagine you do all that with your
21:16
Speaker 1: life and then you die and nobody at your memorial
21:19
Speaker 1: mentions any of it. I mean, you're going to be
21:21
Speaker 1: looking on from the afterlife thinking like, what was the point? Well, no,
21:27
Speaker 1: it's almost as though they know that it was all nonsense.
21:30
Speaker 1: In case you couldn't hear, you know, it's kind of
21:33
Speaker 1: hard to hear what the speaker was saying. It doesn't
21:34
Speaker 1: really matter. The speaker is attacking Kofnas, saying that he
21:37
Speaker 1: was fired from his job at Emanuel College, which is
21:40
Speaker 1: part of Cambridge because he's an evil white supremacist and
21:43
Speaker 1: the mob boos and jeers in response, they don't actually
21:46
Speaker 1: challenge the legitimacy of Kovnes' reporting. They don't dispute the
21:50
Speaker 1: accuracy of anything that he wrote on Substack about how
21:53
Speaker 1: RDA is a fraud. Instead, they attack Kovnes' work, his history,
21:57
Speaker 1: to imply that he's dishonest in some way. Well, the
22:00
Speaker 1: truth is that Kovnes was fired as a research assistant
22:03
Speaker 1: by Emanuel College in April of 2024, but only because
22:07
Speaker 1: he wrote a blog post that, to this day, no
22:10
Speaker 1: one has refuted. In the post, Kofnis wrote a data-driven, dispassionate,
22:15
Speaker 1: logical argument against DEI. He said that we must, quote,
22:19
Speaker 1: accept that talent is not distributed equally within or across groups,
22:24
Speaker 1: because of course it isn't. He pointed out that according
22:26
Speaker 1: to Harvard's own internal data, the number of black students
22:29
Speaker 1: at Harvard would drop to less than 1% without DEI.
22:33
Speaker 1: And based on Harvard's finding, as well as similar data
22:36
Speaker 1: from other institutions, Kofnis concluded that without DEI, in a
22:39
Speaker 1: totally merit-driven way, system, the number of Black professors at
22:44
Speaker 1: Harvard would approach zero percent. He also argued that Black
22:48
Speaker 1: people would, quote, disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside
22:52
Speaker 1: of sports and entertainment. In other words, without DEI giving
22:56
Speaker 1: Black candidates an artificial boost throughout their entire lives, the
22:59
Speaker 1: leaders of America's major institutions, generally speaking, would not be Black. Now,
23:05
Speaker 1: you can disagree with that argument if you want to.
23:08
Speaker 1: You shouldn't because it's obviously true and the data bears
23:11
Speaker 1: it out. But no one at Emanuel College or Cambridge
23:15
Speaker 1: was interested in disagreement. Instead, like virtually every other college,
23:19
Speaker 1: they're interested in enforcing left-wing orthodoxy. So they got rid
23:23
Speaker 1: of Kauffman, even though several faculty members supported him on
23:26
Speaker 1: free speech grounds. In every respect, this episode was shameful
23:30
Speaker 1: for Emanuel College and Cambridge, not for Kauffman's. But to
23:33
Speaker 1: communists and black activists who have committed their lives to
23:38
Speaker 1: silencing anyone who disagrees with them, Kofnis deserved what he got.
23:41
Speaker 1: And now that he's refused to shut up and go away,
23:43
Speaker 1: now that he's still exposing these fraudsters, they want him dead.
23:48
Speaker 1: He's constantly getting death threats as these psychopaths stir up
23:50
Speaker 1: a mob against him. They're not furious that a black
23:53
Speaker 1: professor committed fraud. They're furious that a white guy exposed it.
23:57
Speaker 1: There are certain bills that arrive every month and you
24:00
Speaker 1: just accept them. You don't know exactly why they cost
24:03
Speaker 1: what they cost. You don't remember agreeing to half the charges.
24:06
Speaker 1: You just sort of assume that this is the price
24:07
Speaker 1: of participating in modern civilization. The cell phone bill is
24:11
Speaker 1: perhaps the finest example. Apparently, it costs a small fortune
24:15
Speaker 1: every month for the privilege of looking at your phone
24:17
Speaker 1: 400 times a day. But it doesn't have to. Pure
24:20
Speaker 1: Talk is currently offering any of their plans for just
24:22
Speaker 1: 15 bucks a month. for your first three months. And
24:25
Speaker 1: when they say any plan, they really mean it. You
24:27
Speaker 1: can even choose their top tier $ 65 unlimited plan and
24:31
Speaker 1: pay just 15 bucks a month for the first three months.
24:33
Speaker 1: That's up to $ 150 in savings. Plus there's no service contract,
24:37
Speaker 1: no cancellation fee. And when you need customer service, you
24:40
Speaker 1: get 100% US-based customer service every time you need it.
24:44
Speaker 1: So perhaps we've reached the point where blindly paying an
24:46
Speaker 1: enormous wireless bill every month is just no longer necessary. Progress.
24:51
Speaker 1: For a limited time, You can get any Pure Talk plan,
24:54
Speaker 1: including unlimited data, for just $ 15 a month for your
24:56
Speaker 1: first three months. Simply go to puretalk.com slash Walsh to

Speaker 1: claim this offer. Again, that's puretalk.com slash Walsh to start
25:05
Speaker 1: saving today. The modern university system has become remarkably good
25:09
Speaker 1: at charging parents a fortune to undermine their values, the
25:13
Speaker 1: values they spent years teaching their children. If you're looking
25:16
Speaker 1: for an alternative to the woke university system, take a
25:19
Speaker 1: look at Grand Canyon University. GCU is a private, nonprofit
25:23
Speaker 1: Christian university that builds upon faith, character, and purpose. Instead
25:28
Speaker 1: of treating them as obstacles to an education, students can
25:30
Speaker 1: choose from hundreds of programs designed to build practical skills
25:34
Speaker 1: and prepare them for meaningful careers, whether they study at
25:37
Speaker 1: GCU's Phoenix campus or online. That might mean preparing to
25:41
Speaker 1: lead a classroom, care for patients, build a business, or
25:43
Speaker 1: serve a community. The specific career may differ, but the
25:46
Speaker 1: goal is the same, leaving college ready to pursue something meaningful.
25:50
Speaker 1: GCU also understands that this kind of education needs to
25:53
Speaker 1: remain within reach. While the cost of nearly everything continues
25:56
Speaker 1: to rise, GCU has held tuition steady on a traditional
25:59
Speaker 1: campus for 17 years. They've continued investing in the student
26:03
Speaker 1: experience as well with 75% of their programs and facilities
26:06
Speaker 1: built within just the last decade. More than 132,000 students
26:10
Speaker 1: have chosen GCU for an education grounded in purpose, leadership,
26:15
Speaker 1: and faith. Learn more at gcu.edu, Grand Canyon University, private
26:20
Speaker 1: Christian affordable nonprofit. That's gcu.edu. One of the reasons this
26:27
Speaker 1: kind of propaganda can be effective is that if you're
26:29
Speaker 1: a normal person who doesn't have time to follow all
26:31
Speaker 1: the details of the case, then you might take their
26:34
Speaker 1: word for it. After all, how could so many people
26:37
Speaker 1: be so wrong about the basic facts of a major story?
26:42
Speaker 1: Of course, that happens all the time. And we saw
26:43
Speaker 1: something similar with the Michael Brown case, to give just
26:45
Speaker 1: one example of many. Tens of millions of Americans thought
26:49
Speaker 1: he said, hands up, don't shoot, before getting shot in
26:52
Speaker 1: the back. It's a lie that persists to this day.
26:57
Speaker 1: The average observer will hear a narrative like that. They'll
26:59
Speaker 1: assume it's true because they hear it everywhere. And then
27:02
Speaker 1: it becomes very difficult to change their mind. By the
27:05
Speaker 1: time you're explaining to them that Michael Brown was a
27:07
Speaker 1: thug who attacked a shop clerk and then beat a
27:10
Speaker 1: cop while trying to take his gun, and that all
27:13
Speaker 1: the forensics bore this out, and that this was the
27:16
Speaker 1: finding even of Obama's own DOJ, it's too late. So
27:21
Speaker 1: it's important to highlight as directly as possible the sheer
27:24
Speaker 1: absurdity of the mob's position in this particular case. And
27:28
Speaker 1: instead of showing you how Jason Arday plagiarized most of
27:30
Speaker 1: his academic work or how he lied about pig's heads
27:33
Speaker 1: getting left on his porch or masked men chasing him
27:36
Speaker 1: around campus or whatever. I'm going to do something a
27:38
Speaker 1: little unorthodox. I'm going to turn the floor over to
27:42
Speaker 1: Jason Arday himself. And before we get to his lecture,
27:47
Speaker 1: we'll start with the abstract of one of Arday's published papers.
27:51
Speaker 1: This was flagged by Drew Pavlou. And here's how it reads.
27:56
Speaker 1: I'm going to read exactly what it says. This is
27:58
Speaker 1: Jason Arday. Now, this is, of course, horrendous, ugly, clunky
28:02
Speaker 1: writing with all the grace of a washing machine falling
28:04
Speaker 1: down the stairs. It's also exactly what you'd expect from
28:25
Speaker 1: a sociology professor, by the way. Sociology is a pseudoscience
28:29
Speaker 1: where academics just make up a bunch of gibberish and
28:32
Speaker 1: try to compensate for the lack of substance by using big,
28:36
Speaker 1: important-sounding words. Also note the hideous clashing mixture of modern
28:41
Speaker 1: bureaucratic jargon on one hand and these archaic formalities on
28:46
Speaker 1: the other hand, like wherein. Another hallmark of halfwits... who
28:51
Speaker 1: have nothing to say, but, you know, we'll spend 10,000
28:54
Speaker 1: words saying it anyway. A very reliable general rule that
28:58
Speaker 1: many people have noticed is this. Smart people make complicated
29:04
Speaker 1: subjects seem simple. Pretentious morons like Jason Arday make simple
29:10
Speaker 1: subjects seem complicated. And academia, especially sociology, is overrun by
29:16
Speaker 1: the latter group. Or, you know, to put this in
29:19
Speaker 1: words that sociology professors would understand, rather than just saying
29:23
Speaker 1: that our day's writing is ugly and bad, which is
29:26
Speaker 1: all that needs to be said, I will only say
29:28
Speaker 1: that the aforementioned syntactic assemblage revealed itself to be an
29:33
Speaker 1: aesthetically deficient and stylistically ungainly construction, one whose profound paucity
29:39
Speaker 1: of substance... intellectual content left it entirely bereft of any
29:44
Speaker 1: meaningful conceptual profundity or discursive rigor. And moreover, its compositional
29:48
Speaker 1: architecture was marked by an utterly gratuitous proliferation of ornamental
29:53
Speaker 1: rhetorical flourishes and elaborations whose sole effect was to amplify
29:57
Speaker 1: an already excessive prolixity, thereby transforming what might otherwise have
30:01
Speaker 1: been a simple utterance into an exercise in wholly superfluous
30:05
Speaker 1: and baroquely inflated verbosity. See, I can use a thesaurus also.
30:11
Speaker 1: Took a while, but you know. Someone give me a PhD.
30:14
Speaker 1: I mean, I could do this too. So let's take
30:16
Speaker 1: a look now at the title page of Arde's dissertation,
30:20
Speaker 1: next to the title page of the dissertation that he plagiarized.
30:24
Speaker 1: And this was first noticed by Hans Menk. This is
30:28
Speaker 1: pretty incredible also. So notice that the apostrophe after the
30:32
Speaker 1: word teachers appears in both titles. Well, the problem is,
30:36
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not an English major, but the apostrophe
30:41
Speaker 1: makes sense only in that other dissertation. It doesn't make
30:45
Speaker 1: any sense in our days. So you see, when you
30:48
Speaker 1: say teachers with an apostrophe, you're saying that something belongs
30:51
Speaker 1: to the teachers. And in the original dissertation, the author
30:54
Speaker 1: is talking about a reflective practice that belongs to the teachers.
30:59
Speaker 1: But Arde's title, which he copied, reads simply, quote, an
31:02
Speaker 1: exploration of peer mentoring among student teachers. And then he
31:07
Speaker 1: adds the apostrophe for no reason. You know, it's astonishing
31:10
Speaker 1: to think about. He plagiarized everything from this other dissertation,
31:14
Speaker 1: even the title. But he couldn't even do that right.
31:17
Speaker 1: He includes a glaring typo in the title of the
31:20
Speaker 1: most important document of his academic career, but it's not
31:24
Speaker 1: really a typo at all. He simply carried over the
31:26
Speaker 1: apostrophe from the original document without looking at it. And
31:29
Speaker 1: nobody at Cambridge, that prestigious university, noticed this. The odds
31:36
Speaker 1: are extremely high that none of these people read the
31:38
Speaker 1: dissertation or any other dissertation. But things get even worse
31:42
Speaker 1: for Arday when you put yourself in the position of
31:44
Speaker 1: one of his students. and actually listen to what he
31:47
Speaker 1: has to say. So this is from one of his
31:50
Speaker 1: recent lectures entitled Engaging Pedagogically with Race and Racism. We're
31:54
Speaker 1: going to watch some footage of the master at work
31:59
Speaker 1: so we can judge whether or not he actually deserved
32:01
Speaker 1: to be a full professor at Cambridge, which is the
32:03
Speaker 1: most prestigious level they have. And we'll give the mob
32:06
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. We'll forget about all the
32:08
Speaker 1: plagiarism and all the dishonesty and narcissism, and we'll just
32:11
Speaker 1: kind of listen to the man speak. to see if
32:14
Speaker 1: he deserved to have the position that he did. We'll
32:17
Speaker 1: start with the beginning of Arday's lecture, where he discusses
32:20
Speaker 1: the sinister nature of whiteness. And now before we go
32:23
Speaker 1: any further, you should make a mental note about the
32:27
Speaker 1: fact that this particular DEI hire, like every other DEI hire,
32:30
Speaker 1: is only capable of talking about how we need even
32:33
Speaker 1: more DEI hires. That is the extent of Jason Arday's
32:37
Speaker 1: contribution to academia. Now, your expectations are probably already pretty low,
32:41
Speaker 1: given that he was a professor of sociology, but the
32:43
Speaker 1: reality of this guy's drivel is even worse than you
32:46
Speaker 1: might think. He never makes a single original or interesting
32:50
Speaker 1: argument about anything. He just makes more demands and more complaints.
32:55
Speaker 1: And the arguments don't even make sense. So behold the
32:58
Speaker 1: beginning of Jason Arday's lecture, which you can watch without
33:01
Speaker 1: being a student at the highly prestigious Cambridge University, if
33:04
Speaker 1: you can imagine it. Bask in your good fortune. as
33:08
Speaker 1: we all absorb the wisdom of Jason Arday, watch.
33:13
Speaker 10: You know, whiteness, the centrality of whiteness is all encompassing
33:17
Speaker 10: and it very much still defines a lot of what
33:19
Speaker 10: we do in our learning, teaching and university spaces. I
33:25
Speaker 10: think the monopoly and the proliferation of kind of dominant
33:28
Speaker 10: white European canons, it compromises all our curriculum. You know,
33:32
Speaker 10: if we think through kind of STEM, If we think
33:34
Speaker 10: through kind of things around English literature, if we think
33:37
Speaker 10: through things around engaging in social sciences, human sciences, a
33:42
Speaker 10: lot of it is centered around kind of dominant white philosophies.
33:45
Speaker 10: And I think one of the things that becomes really
33:47
Speaker 10: important is this idea of where do black, Asian and
33:51
Speaker 10: minority ethnic learners in the classroom space, how do they
33:56
Speaker 10: then conceptualize other people that have contributed to the canon?
33:59
Speaker 10: How do they develop that knowledge? that in essence is
34:01
Speaker 10: supposed to equip them to undertake their place in the
34:04
Speaker 10: world of work.
34:06
Speaker 1: Well, we're off to a great start here. The centrality
34:09
Speaker 1: of whiteness is all-encompassing, he says, which seems like a
34:12
Speaker 1: contradiction because something in the center cannot be all-encompassing. By definition,
34:18
Speaker 1: if you're in the center, then you're not everywhere else.
34:21
Speaker 1: You're just in the center. Centrality indicates a focal point
34:25
Speaker 1: within the larger thing. All-encompassing indicates that it is central.
34:30
Speaker 1: the larger thing. So a thing cannot be within the
34:32
Speaker 1: larger thing and also be the larger thing at the
34:34
Speaker 1: same time. This might seem like a semantic point, but
34:37
Speaker 1: as you'll see, it's a recurring theme with Jason Arday
34:40
Speaker 1: and DEI activists in general. They say things and write
34:43
Speaker 1: things and copy paste things that make no sense and
34:46
Speaker 1: are meant to sound a whole lot smarter than they
34:47
Speaker 1: really are. It's all just gibberish. Then you get to
34:50
Speaker 1: Arday's really interesting and original take, which is that the
34:53
Speaker 1: proliferation of dominant white European canons compromises all of our curriculum. Now,
35:00
Speaker 1: far be it for me, a lowly podcaster with only
35:02
Speaker 1: a high school diploma, to critique the grammar and vocabulary
35:06
Speaker 1: of an esteemed Cambridge professor. But in context, it seems
35:10
Speaker 1: that the word he wants here is comprise, not compromise.
35:14
Speaker 1: He seems to be trying to say that dominant white
35:17
Speaker 1: European canons make up, encompass, and he says that, the curriculum,
35:21
Speaker 1: which would mean comprise, not compromise. That'd be the correct word.
35:26
Speaker 1: And he specifically says that STEM, which is short for science, technology,
35:29
Speaker 1: engineering and mathematics, is, quote, centered around kind of dominant
35:32
Speaker 1: white philosophies. Of course, he never explains what he means
35:36
Speaker 1: by that, which is another recurring theme in his fake scholarship.
35:40
Speaker 1: He just throws it out there. STEM is compromised by
35:44
Speaker 1: dominant white philosophies. And we're led to believe that this
35:46
Speaker 1: is a bad thing because black and Asian students will
35:49
Speaker 1: struggle to conceptualize other people that have contributed to the canons.
35:54
Speaker 1: And somehow this will hurt them when they leave college
35:56
Speaker 1: and enter the world of work. None of this makes
36:00
Speaker 1: even the slightest amount of sense, no matter how long
36:02
Speaker 1: you spend thinking about it, which you shouldn't spend any time.
36:06
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's complaining about the fact that Europe
36:07
Speaker 1: was the birthplace of the scientific revolution, that he wishes
36:11
Speaker 1: Copernicus and Bacon and Galileo and Newton had been morbidly
36:14
Speaker 1: obese black women instead, which, you know, There's really nothing
36:19
Speaker 1: we can do about that at this point. The ship
36:21
Speaker 1: has sailed. Newton was who he was. The reality is
36:25
Speaker 1: that the people who contributed the most to the advancement
36:28
Speaker 1: of civilization, the 17th and 18th centuries especially, and before that,
36:32
Speaker 1: forming the basis for modern-day STEM, were white men. In fact,
36:37
Speaker 1: nearly everyone who contributed to those advancements during that time
36:42
Speaker 1: were white men. The non-white male contributors were the rare exceptions.
36:48
Speaker 1: That is an inconvenient fact for DEI activists to be sure.
36:51
Speaker 1: It might lead people to wonder what exactly Africa, you know,
36:56
Speaker 1: why exactly Africa lagged so far behind, what was going
36:59
Speaker 1: on there. But it still doesn't explain what Jason Arday
37:03
Speaker 1: wants to do about it. It is what it is.
37:07
Speaker 1: It was what it was. There's also the fact that
37:10
Speaker 1: inventions like algebra and Arabic numerals are obviously a part
37:14
Speaker 1: of mathematics education, even though white Europeans did not come
37:17
Speaker 1: up with those. It's almost as if when you're learning
37:21
Speaker 1: about biology or calculus or the laws of thermodynamics, it
37:24
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who contributed to the canon. You're learning objective
37:29
Speaker 1: facts where, quote unquote, lived experience and political ideology and
37:34
Speaker 1: skin color are irrelevant. So what is he talking about exactly?
37:40
Speaker 1: Instead of explaining himself, he moves right along to discuss
37:42
Speaker 1: another meaningless string of woke cliches.
37:46
Speaker 6: Watch.
37:48
Speaker 10: So one thing that I think is really important is
37:50
Speaker 10: this idea of kind of systemic racism and stereotypes against
37:53
Speaker 10: ethnic minority groups. I think when you don't have, pedagogically speaking,
37:57
Speaker 10: people who are from those backgrounds in those spaces, I
38:04
Speaker 10: do think that there is license to misconstrue particular dynamics
38:08
Speaker 10: and concepts. So, for example, I may talk about gender inequality,
38:12
Speaker 10: but actually, as a black male that now resides in
38:17
Speaker 10: a privileged position, there are a lot of things that
38:19
Speaker 10: I'm not going to be able to relate to. So
38:21
Speaker 10: I may be able to speak about them, but unless
38:24
Speaker 10: I declare absolute modesty, which I always do when I
38:27
Speaker 10: talk about issues that I'm not, you know, I understand them,
38:30
Speaker 10: but I've not experienced them, there is license to get
38:34
Speaker 10: things wrong. There is license to miscommunicate. There is license
38:37
Speaker 10: to kind of pick up different discourses that may not
38:41
Speaker 10: be actually 1000% accurate. And I think when you're doing this,
38:45
Speaker 10: of course you can't be absolutely accurate, but you need
38:48
Speaker 10: to be able to speak to a lived experience and
38:50
Speaker 10: understand it if anything else.
38:54
Speaker 1: Well, one thing we've learned is that this guy absolutely
38:57
Speaker 1: loves the word pedagogically. Um, He obviously just heard that
39:02
Speaker 1: word before he went to go give this talk. And
39:04
Speaker 1: he's like, that's a great word. I got to, which
39:06
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, sometimes you hear a word
39:08
Speaker 1: and just like, you like the word, you got to
39:09
Speaker 1: kind of like rope it into conversation. And it is
39:12
Speaker 1: a fun word. I once, this is true. I once
39:14
Speaker 1: used the word pedagogue, G-O-G at the end, which I
39:20
Speaker 1: think is a valid spelling. I used it in Scrabble
39:23
Speaker 1: and it was the greatest board game related achievement of
39:25
Speaker 1: my life. Almost as impressive as running 300 miles in
39:29
Speaker 1: three days, but you know, we can't all be Jason Arday. Anyway,
39:33
Speaker 1: he says he's willing to speak about issues that he
39:35
Speaker 1: doesn't have personal experience with, which is good because his
39:38
Speaker 1: personal experiences are all fake. But he says that when
39:42
Speaker 1: he does so, he will declare absolute modesty. So presumably
39:47
Speaker 1: this is like when Michael Scott declared bankruptcy in the office.
39:50
Speaker 1: He'll stand in front of the lecture hall and scream,
39:53
Speaker 1: I declare absolute modesty. A thoughtful gesture, I suppose, but
39:58
Speaker 1: a bit paradoxical. I mean, how does one declare something modestly?
40:05
Speaker 1: How does a modest person claim absolute modesty? Like, by definition,
40:11
Speaker 1: if you're modest, the very last thing you would ever
40:14
Speaker 1: do is declare yourself to be so, much less claim
40:18
Speaker 1: to be perfectly so. To declare your modesty is to
40:24
Speaker 1: negate the claim just by making it. Now, he says
40:29
Speaker 1: that unless you have the right lived experience, then there is, quote,
40:32
Speaker 1: a license to get things wrong, a license to miscommunicate,
40:35
Speaker 1: a license to pick up different discourses that might not
40:38
Speaker 1: be a thousand percent accurate. Of course, you can't be
40:41
Speaker 1: absolutely accurate, but you need to be able to speak
40:45
Speaker 1: to a lived experience and understand it, if anything else. Now,
40:51
Speaker 1: I won't even get into someone who's an academic and
40:53
Speaker 1: pretends to be really smart and uses all this complex language,
40:57
Speaker 1: then using the term 1,000%. I won't even get into it.
41:01
Speaker 1: We'll let that one slide. I think by license, he
41:04
Speaker 1: means tendency, but it's still a completely incoherent statement, all
41:08
Speaker 1: things considered. There's a contradiction every other sentence. We're not
41:12
Speaker 1: even going to dwell on the fact that lived experience
41:15
Speaker 1: is redundant. Every experience is lived by definition. If you
41:19
Speaker 1: didn't live it, it's not an experience. And if you
41:23
Speaker 1: experienced it, you must have lived it. You can't experience
41:27
Speaker 1: something you didn't live. Can you have an unlived experience? Now,
41:32
Speaker 1: he also says you don't need to be absolutely accurate,
41:35
Speaker 1: but at the same time, it's a bad thing if
41:36
Speaker 1: you're not a thousand percent accurate. Well, which is it?
41:39
Speaker 1: And while we're at it, why exactly do you need
41:41
Speaker 1: to have direct firsthand experience with a particular issue in
41:44
Speaker 1: order to teach it? Wouldn't that exclude every living person
41:48
Speaker 1: from teaching like every subject ever? How are you going
41:52
Speaker 1: to find a professor with lived experience about the Crusades? Exactly.
41:58
Speaker 1: Never mind the fact that black academics like Arday are
42:00
Speaker 1: constantly going on and on about whiteness, despite having no
42:03
Speaker 1: lived experience with being white. These are questions that if
42:09
Speaker 1: Jason Arday was an actual academic, maybe he'd have some
42:12
Speaker 1: answers for. He'd offer ideas that withstand some degree of scrutiny. Instead,
42:17
Speaker 1: we get word salad again and again. So here's one
42:20
Speaker 1: more clip from this lecture to understand what he's saying here.
42:24
Speaker 1: to the extent that it's even possible, you need a
42:26
Speaker 1: quick primer on woke speak. So BAME means black and
42:30
Speaker 1: Asian students, and tariffs refer to test scores that UK
42:34
Speaker 1: students earn prior to going to college. So in this clip,
42:37
Speaker 1: he's making the point that black students have the same
42:39
Speaker 1: high grades as white students in high school, but when
42:42
Speaker 1: they get to college, the black students perform much worse,
42:45
Speaker 1: which he states is clearly the result of racism. What
42:48
Speaker 1: else could it possibly be?
42:50
Speaker 11: Watch.
42:52
Speaker 10: But I think one of the things that's really important
42:54
Speaker 10: is these ideas around the disparities in attainment. Why is
42:58
Speaker 10: it happening? Yes, the obvious comparison to draw is between
43:03
Speaker 10: BAME and white students at UCL. But in terms of
43:08
Speaker 10: the disparity, one of the things that's really important to
43:12
Speaker 10: acknowledge is that a lot of these BAME students come
43:14
Speaker 10: into UCL with high tariffs in the first place because
43:19
Speaker 10: UCL asked for high tariffs in terms of being able
43:21
Speaker 10: to study here. So if they're coming out of here
43:24
Speaker 10: and they're not achieving what they should be achieving, the
43:30
Speaker 10: go-to is always that it's because the students are not capable.
43:34
Speaker 10: Those BME students are not as capable as those white students.
43:37
Speaker 10: They're coming on the same tariff. So there's something institutionally
43:41
Speaker 10: that's happened or happening in our institutions across the sector,
43:45
Speaker 10: not singling out UCL, that needs to change to mobilize
43:51
Speaker 10: those students to fulfill their full potential?
43:54
Speaker 1: Did he say disparancy? Like disparate, but disparancy? Maybe, I
44:01
Speaker 1: might've misheard that one. You never know. It's hard to
44:03
Speaker 1: answer because that's not a real word, but I might've
44:05
Speaker 1: misheard it. Common sense tells you that he must be
44:08
Speaker 1: leaving out a few variables here. It doesn't make sense
44:11
Speaker 1: on its face that black students would get the same
44:13
Speaker 1: grades as white students in high school and then suddenly
44:16
Speaker 1: perform much worse when they get to a university due
44:18
Speaker 1: to racism. For one thing, we all know that these
44:21
Speaker 1: colleges go out of their way to appease black students,
44:24
Speaker 1: and so do high schools and every other kind of school.
44:26
Speaker 1: It makes a lot more sense to conclude that the
44:28
Speaker 1: university-level coursework is much more challenging as compared to whatever
44:32
Speaker 1: the tariffs are measuring. Now, I'm not from the UK, obviously,
44:36
Speaker 1: thank God. I've never spent any amount of time there,
44:39
Speaker 1: have no interest in it. I have no lived experience
44:42
Speaker 1: with it. But even with five seconds of research, I
44:44
Speaker 1: identified the problem. See, it turns out that tariffs can
44:47
Speaker 1: refer to exam-based tests that are academic in nature, or
44:51
Speaker 1: it can refer to vocational coursework, like classes on plumbing
44:56
Speaker 1: and heating. So it's possible for a black student to
44:58
Speaker 1: have high tariffs or test scores in, say, plumbing, something vocational,
45:04
Speaker 1: while a white student has high tariffs in science, math,
45:06
Speaker 1: and those subjects. It wouldn't be remotely surprising if when
45:10
Speaker 1: these two students arrive in college, the white student outclasses
45:14
Speaker 1: the black one on academic subjects. That's not racism. It's
45:19
Speaker 1: a problem in how you're admitting students because they're black,
45:22
Speaker 1: even though they're not cut out for college. And like
45:25
Speaker 1: Jason Arday, when these black students are put in an
45:28
Speaker 1: environment that's out of their league, they quickly fall apart.
45:32
Speaker 1: So where does this go from here? Well, based on
45:34
Speaker 1: that vigil and the statements of black activists in the
45:37
Speaker 1: UK who have the support of the prime minister, by
45:39
Speaker 1: the way, we can expect a new crackdown on free speech.
45:43
Speaker 1: This is from a woman with the Good Law Project,
45:45
Speaker 1: which I mentioned earlier.
45:47
Speaker 6: Watch.
45:50
Speaker 4: In light of the tragic death of Jason Arday yesterday,
45:53
Speaker 4: first of all, I'd like to say rest in peace
45:56
Speaker 4: and my deepest, deepest condolences to his family and friends.
46:01
Speaker 4: I can't imagine, I can't even begin to imagine what
46:05
Speaker 4: they're going through right now. But they're not alone. We
46:09
Speaker 4: have written a collective letter, open letter to the Prime Minister.
46:14
Speaker 4: That letter has been signed by several individuals, many of
46:17
Speaker 4: whom are black prominent individuals who have experienced the level
46:22
Speaker 4: of targeting and harassment and racially motivated harassment from the
46:26
Speaker 4: UK media. It's not something that we're going to continue
46:29
Speaker 4: to tolerate. We do believe now enough is enough. and
46:33
Speaker 4: the UK media have to be held responsible for their conduct.
46:37
Speaker 4: So we have written to the Prime Minister. There is
46:42
Speaker 4: a collective approach to this, which is very, very important
46:46
Speaker 4: from the black community. And if you feel as strongly
46:48
Speaker 4: as we do about the accountability and the responsibility of
46:52
Speaker 4: the UK media, please reshare the letter and the post
46:56
Speaker 4: and would really appreciate your collective support.
47:01
Speaker 1: Well, the goal here is to make it a crime
47:03
Speaker 1: in the UK to notice anything that's inconvenient to black activists.
47:07
Speaker 1: You see, they're allowed to lie with impunity without any
47:10
Speaker 1: government intervention. But if you tell the truth about what
47:12
Speaker 1: they're doing, you should go to prison. As I understand it,
47:15
Speaker 1: Good Law Project is a nonprofit in the UK, and
47:18
Speaker 1: they were heavily involved in spreading lies to defend Arday.
47:21
Speaker 1: So if anything, as Andy Ngo put it, quote, a
47:23
Speaker 1: public inquiry is needed into the Good Law Project for
47:25
Speaker 1: misleading the public with claims that Arday's academic research was
47:28
Speaker 1: ethical and sound. Will it happen? Well, of course not.
47:32
Speaker 1: We all saw the state of academia in the UK
47:35
Speaker 1: when Charlie Kirk went to Oxford, where he debated the
47:38
Speaker 1: president of the Oxford Union, their famous debate society. And
47:44
Speaker 1: the president, whose name was George Aberronier, was some foreigner
47:48
Speaker 1: wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt, looking like he was high
47:52
Speaker 1: out of his mind. And shortly afterwards, when Charlie Kirk
47:55
Speaker 1: was assassinated, this same guy celebrated the news. He wrote, quote,
48:00
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk got shot. Let's effing go. So that's the
48:04
Speaker 1: end game for these degenerate black activists. And we can't
48:08
Speaker 1: forget it. This is not merely a story about one
48:10
Speaker 1: fraudster and the white liberal women who enabled him. It's that.
48:15
Speaker 1: It's about that. But also, if you stand in the
48:16
Speaker 1: way of their ideological takeover, if you have the wrong
48:19
Speaker 1: skin color, these people want you dead. They're not upset
48:23
Speaker 1: that Jason Arday took his own life. They're upset that
48:26
Speaker 1: a white person like Nathan Kofnes wasn't killed instead. They
48:30
Speaker 1: would have preferred to see Kofnis gutted like Henry Novak
48:33
Speaker 1: on the sidewalk. And they're infuriated that he's still alive
48:37
Speaker 1: while the highest profile DEI hire in the entire country,
48:40
Speaker 1: the fraudster they expended so much energy to defend, the
48:43
Speaker 1: guy who could supposedly run 300 miles in three days,
48:46
Speaker 1: is not. This is an unusual position for these leftists.
48:50
Speaker 1: You know, they're so used to killing their political opposition
48:53
Speaker 1: that they genuinely can't process the fact that they've lost
48:57
Speaker 1: one of their most prominent pieces on the chessboard. But
49:01
Speaker 1: it's happened. Because in their quest to place a DEI
49:04
Speaker 1: hire at Cambridge, they overlooked his obvious psychosis and mental instability.
49:09
Speaker 1: And even now, when the evidence of their immorality and
49:11
Speaker 1: corruption is laid so bare that a blind man could
49:14
Speaker 1: see it, they're refusing to engage in an ounce of introspection.
49:19
Speaker 1: They'd much rather resort to violence. As Jason Arday himself
49:24
Speaker 1: used to say, and I quote, yeah, I'm chilling on
49:25
Speaker 1: a dirt road, laid back, swerving like I'm George Jones.
49:29
Speaker 1: Ain't it funny how rumors spread? Man, that talk is
49:31
Speaker 1: getting old. You better mind your business, man. Watch your
49:34
Speaker 1: mouth before I have to knock that loud mouth out. Actually,
49:39
Speaker 1: just a correction. I think that was Jason Aldean, not Arday.
49:41
Speaker 1: My mistake. But in the spirit of the late Jason Arday,
49:44
Speaker 1: we'll just pretend he said it. And the point is,
49:47
Speaker 1: never forget these scenes in Trafalgar Square. Do not forget
49:50
Speaker 1: the lies they will tell and the atrocities they will
49:54
Speaker 1: commit in order to defend their bankrupt ideology, especially now
49:58
Speaker 1: that it's been exposed so publicly. I saw somebody observe
50:02
Speaker 1: that this wasn't really a vigil at Trafalgar Square on Monday.
50:05
Speaker 1: It was more like a last stand. It was the
50:07
Speaker 1: last gasp of an ideology that's on the verge of defeat.
50:12
Speaker 1: And if you're the optimistic type, then one way to
50:15
Speaker 1: read the sheer incoherence and depravity that was on display
50:19
Speaker 1: is just that. It was a stark reminder of what
50:22
Speaker 1: these demons are capable of and how we must commit ourselves,
50:26
Speaker 1: especially with some very important elections coming up, to ensure
50:30
Speaker 1: that they never again hold power in our own country.
50:35
Speaker 1: That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching.
50:37
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
50:46
Speaker 11: But in all of my years of public life, I
50:49
Speaker 11: have never profited from public service. I welcome this kind
50:54
Speaker 11: of examination because people have got to know whether or
50:57
Speaker 11: not their presidents are corrupt.
50:59
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not a crook. For more than five decades,
51:01
Speaker 1: from Iran-Contra to Monica Lewinsky to Russiagate, every political scandal
51:05
Speaker 1: has been measured against one, the Watergate affair. But what
51:09
Speaker 1: if Richard Nixon was telling the truth? What if Watergate
51:12
Speaker 1: isn't what it seems? What if hundreds of thousands of
51:15
Speaker 1: pages of sworn testimony, memoirs, and newly released government documents
51:20
Speaker 1: tell a different story than the one you learned in school?
51:24
Speaker 1: In 1972, Nixon won the biggest electoral landslide in modern
51:28
Speaker 1: American history with grand plans to remake the federal government.
51:32
Speaker 1: Two years later, he was out of office. You were
51:34
Speaker 1: taught that Nixon's men broke into the Democratic National Committee
51:38
Speaker 1: headquarters to spy on his political opponents. You were taught
51:41
Speaker 1: that when he found out, Nixon covered it up, and
51:44
Speaker 1: that the cover-up was worse than the crime. You were
51:48
Speaker 1: taught that two heroic Washington Post reporters, guided by a
51:51
Speaker 1: righteous FBI whistleblower, brought the most powerful man in the
51:55
Speaker 1: world to justice. But you were never told what really happened.
51:59
Speaker 11: I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
52:02
Speaker 1: The real history of the Watergate scandal is available now
52:06
Speaker 1: on Daily Wire +.
