Black Londoners and other leftists did not take to the streets in large numbers following the murder of Henry Novak, a white college student who was butchered on the sidewalk late last year in Southampton by a foreigner, only for the police to mock him as he took his dying breaths. Nor did black Londoners and other leftists hold massive demonstrations after a disabled white guy was nearly beheaded in Belfast in the middle of the road by one of the millions of barbaric fake asylum seekers who have been allowed into Europe. And they certainly didn't hold any events in support of Anne Whitacom, the elderly white conservative politician who was just brutally executed in her own home. She was hit 21 times on the head with a hammer, simply because she wanted to end the mass demographic replacement that's been underway in the UK for many years now. None of these horrific events in the eyes of black, British activists and other leftists merited any concern whatsoever. Instead, these ghouls have been biting their time, waiting for their very own Georgia. Floyd moment to galvanize their fellow communists. For years now, they've been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to canonize a homegrown BLM martyr. Their very own, someone that can call their

own, meaning a degenerate criminal, a liar, sociopath who's a clear net negative for society. And with the untimely death of Jason Ardey, the disgraced Cambridge professor, DEI hire, who lied about every aspect of his life story while also fabricating data and plagiarizing all of his important publications, it's clear that leftist mobs in Britain have finally found the martyr that they were waiting for. That's very evident based on the utterly deranged and psychotic display that just took place in Trafalgar Square in London on Monday in support of our day. This was a cult-like event that has no parallel, at least going back to 2020. And, you know, the footage from this alleged vigil is genuinely hard to believe. It's so extraordinary that after we go through it,

We have an obligation to look even closer at Jason Ardei and his alleged quote-unquote scholarship, which these leftists are defending, even though none of them have read his scholarship in the first place, none of them. That's exactly what we're going to do later on in the show. Together we're going to sit through one of our day's lectures, or at least part of one, as much as we can stomach. We'll get to pretend to be Cambridge students for a day and we'll uncover just how vapid and mush-brained this guy was. will also page through some of his research findings and will bask in the preposterous, almost unbelievable incompetence of this total fraud, who the left is now desperately trying to turn into a BLM martyr. But first, let's talk about what happened in Trafalgar Square.

So to recap the backstory, if you didn't listen to the show yesterday, Ardei was a plagiarist, a thug, a criminal, a narcissist, and a fraudster. He is now also dead after having apparently taken his own life. Although, given his track record for honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if he were sitting on a beach somewhere right now. I mean, who knows? He was promoted to full professor by white liberal women at Cambridge, even though he lied about every single aspect of his life story, and even though he fabricated data in his academic work, in addition to plagiarizing entire passages across multiple articles, as well as his dissertation, Arde was hired for an extremely competitive position at one of the most famous universities in the world, solely because

he was black. These people were desperate to find a competent black scholar, and they had to settle on Jason Arden. And once they hired him, because no one at Cambridge has any integrity, there was no looking back. So when he claimed that he ran 300 miles and three days or that invisible masked men with knives had chased him around campus, or that a pig's head was left on the front porch of his parents' house, or that he couldn't read or write until he was 18, or that he had multiple tumors and epilepsy, None of these obviously false claims bothered anybody at Cambridge. They kept doubling down and tripling down, lashing out at anybody who told the truth. And in the end, rather than face the consequences of his own actions, Ardei chose to end his life and leave his two children behind. Now, at the risk of understatement, there is no conceivable defense of Arde's actions, nor is there a legitimate line of attack against the media or against Nathan Kaufness, who's the former Cambridge academic, who publicized Ardei's fraud this summer, Ardei is the one who desperately courted media attention at every opportunity.

He also wrote a memoir, which he sold to Simon & Schuster that was full of outright lies about his biography. He went out of his way to deceive everybody in a very public fashion. And when people raised questions about his research or about his biography, he brought in a law firm to harass them,

even called the police on a professor who noticed the plagiarism. any society that sees any value in a delusional narcissistic con man like Jason Ardei is doomed to fail. That's exactly what we saw on Monday in London's Trafalgar Square. Thousands of leftists gather not to pray for the salvation of Jason Arde's soul or to reflect on how many white men have been subjected to discrimination in Britain for the benefit of incompetent black frauds like Ardei or to demand the termination of every white woman at Cambridge who hired him. That all would have been justified. Instead, the mob gathered to honor Ardei as a BLM martyr, as a victim of systemic racism, who, in their view, somehow led an honorable life. At one point, a speaker stated that Ardei had been assassinated.

And again, it was just mass psychosis all over the place. Watch. Jason Ardei. Today of all days, it's very much a day for white people to listen and not to speak. So I'm going to be really, really quick. The truth that as many of you I think know is that many white people do not recognise the richness, the common humanity of black people. I think you know that in your heart of hearts and I think that it's important that a white person stands on this stage and acknowledges it.

And fixing that... I think that is many, many generations work. But my promise to you is this. No other industry in the country, in the world, is allowed to monetise human pain and suffering. No other industry is allowed to profit from those things without being regulated. And nor should our increasing.

overwhelmingly revolting press. That's truly surreal to watch. A white guy gets up there, says, you know, white people shouldn't talk because they're white. Then he talks anyway, and he says that white people don't recognize the richness and common humanity of black people. Now, I've never met a white person in my life

who fails to recognize or denies the humanity of black people. In fact, black people are much more likely to have their humanity recognized and explicitly affirmed. than are white people. And as for richness, that's really a case-by-case basis sort of thing. I mean, Jason Arday's life, for example, was rich with deception and unearned achievement. So it was rich in that sense.

And the white guy says the media should be regulated because they exposed Ardei as the fraud that he is. And the mob cheers. They're openly demanding that the government shut down the media for accurately reporting on an utterly humiliating. degenerate DEI Hire, who disgraced himself and his university. It's not my commentary, but it's explicitly what's happening. To be totally clear about this, the average leftist, regardless of what they might say in public, understands that different racial groups tend to have different outcomes in life. They tend to have different physical appearances, different athletic abilities, different

average IQs. That's why there are many more black players in the NBA than white players, just as there are many more white professors than black professors. Doesn't mean that no white guy can be a good NBA player or that no black guy can be a good professor, but the averages are what they are. Everyone understands this. In any group, actually, you're going to have averages. In any group, you're going to have similarities and differences. In any group, you're going to have, like, positive traits that are generally shared and more negative traits. That's any group. And if you don't have any similarities, any common traits in a group, then it's not a group. I mean, by definition,

calling it a group means that there are some things you can say about it that are generally true of that group that aren't true of other groups. And again, if you can't say that, then it's not a group. By definition, the left's mission when it comes to DEI is to invent an alternate reality where these disparities and differences don't exist. But they have a big problem. There simply aren't many qualified black academics available to hire. So instead of accepting the fact that some disparities are inevitable, they're desperately picking random, delusional black guys off the street and making them professors at Cambridge. They're engaging in social engineering that's premised on lie after lie, and eventually it becomes unsustainable. And they feel like they're losing control of the debate,

which they are. So now they're demanding that the government step in at gunpoint and shut down everyone who's exposing their fraud, which is fundamentally anti-white and anti-civilization. That white speaker in the footage who was supposedly afraid to speak, I guess, is apparently named Jolian Mogam. He runs a leftist organization called the Good Law Project. This is an organization that's been spearheading the push to turn Ardei into a BLM martyr from the moment that he died. And eventually, true to his word, he did stop speaking, mercifully, and turned the microphone over to the brave people of color. And they proceeded to embarrass themselves as well at this so-called vigil. Watch.

Racism did this, and I think we should be able to say that plainly this afternoon. There is another reason for my anger. For so many of us, Cambridge was once imagined as an arrival. We worked towards places like this. We believed in the university, in the academy, in knowledge, Perhaps we even believed that if we could make our way through these gates and take our seat in these rooms and learn their language well enough, become scholars ourselves, then we might finally have the tools to change something. And somewhere inside that, there was a hope that having arrived meant that we might belong. Jason's death and the cruelty and smear that surrounded him reminds us that for many we do not belong. Well, you're exactly right, ma'am.

You don't belong there. The vast majority of these non-white students don't belong at Cambridge or any other university. It's not racism to point that out. It's a product of the fact that Cambridge and every other university openly discriminates against white applicants and gives enormous deference and privilege to non-white applicants solely on the basis of their skin color. No applicant who receives any kind of benefit based on his skin color, whether he's a student or faculty member, belongs at Cambridge or

anywhere else. And if these people had any shame whatsoever, they'd admit that. Instead, she pretends that she's being transgressive by blaming racism. Oh, she's just going to come out, she's going to come out and say it. You know, hey, we shouldn't be afraid to say this. I'm going to come out and say it right now to this group of leftist activists. This was racism. Wow, that took courage. You know, it always takes courage to say something when you're surrounded by a mob that agrees with you.

Actually, the transgressive thing would be to say that schools like Cambridge need to start hiring based on merit. And if that means that they have no black students, tough. Black students need to work harder, I guess. You know, cookie crumbles, how it does, whatever. No, no racism did not kill Jason Ardeh. Anti-white racism got him the job in the first place. Anti-white racism got a, got him a book deal in dozens of media appearances. Anti-white racism is the reason anybody knows his name.

as long as we're being honest and speaking plainly, we should start there. In fact, if we're going to blame racism for our day's death, it would be anti-white racism that killed him, arguably. Because without anti-white racism, he never would have been in any kind of prestigious position, which means he never would have been able to disgrace himself on the national stage, which means he'd probably still be alive. Working as a receptionist at a dental office or something, where he could make up all the stories he wanted, and everybody there would just kind of nod their head and smile.

and it would have been fine. Here's another sordid moment from this vigil featuring one Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, Cambridge. Presumably he was also elevated to that position because of his skin color, because he seems like the very definition of mediocrity. Watch.

This time, last week, I was with Jason. Because we knew Jason was suffering. We knew that he felt hounded by those rabid wolves. Jason wouldn't dare leave the house. And we said, we'll get a taxi for you. We held him in our arms. We told him he was loved.

He held Diane's hands. And he said, I love you. But he said, they're hounded me to death. And I cannot see a woman. way out. Wow. Well, Jason sounds like a weak, whiny shell of a man. I mean, here's a way out, Jason. Resign. Admit that you lied for your entire career. Admit that you fabricated data. Admit that you plagiarized. Then apologize. Be a man. Have some dignity. Be the Lord's forgiveness. Commit your life to raising your two children so they don't repeat your

many, many crimes against humanity. Would that be glamorous? probably not. It would involve sacrifice and hard work and introspection. It would involve courage that would actually take real courage. The kinds of things that, according to Cambridge, Jason Ardei was supposed to be really good at. I mean, after all, this was a guy who overcame multiple tumors, epilepsy, masked bandits with knives, the complete inability to speak until he was 11, random pigheads on his porch, you know, illiteracy, and so on. So he's used to taken some knocks, or so we're told. But it turns out he'd much rather leave his children alone on this earth so that demonic DEI fraudsters could pretend he's some kind of hero. He's

not. He's utterly pathetic. And so was the parade of grotesque black activists who took the podium throughout this whole proceeding. The first woman you'll see here is a member of parliament named Diane Abbott. Watch. He was first appointed as a professor in Cambridge three years ago. And for those three years, he has had a vicious campaign, a bitter campaign by anonymous people, by other professors, who just didn't believe that a black man should be a Cambridge professor. At his vigil tonight, thousands came to pay their respect,

including one of his students. His scholarship mattered enormously to so many, but his greatest contribution cannot be found in a publication, a title or a citation, nor in his talks. It is found in people who continue to love him in the lives he changed and the confidence he gave us and the doors that he fought to hold open behind him. The MP Bell Rivera-Addi passed on the family's words. The public cruelty Jason was subjected to was too much for any man to be.

Very intelligent. A lot of a lot of high IQs there. You look at that crowd and these are people who, you know, their IQ is exceeded only by their BMI. I think we can say. No man could have possibly bore this is what they tell us, really? No man could have bored it. I mean, there are men who have endured war, concentration camps, childhood abuse, horrific forms of cancer. I mean, he's. you name it. And they've done so with infinitely more integrity and poise and grace than Jason Ardey, who never demonstrated anything approaching integrity, poise or grace in his entire life. The only thing that happened to him is that people told the truth about the scam he was running. That's it. And were led to believe that he had no other choice but to kill himself. Incidentally, they also believe he had no choice but to plagiarize and lie constantly, because after all, what's a black left-wing professor supposed to do? Come up with his own ideas? Don't be ridiculous. And by the way, in response to the first woman, no, the accusers

were not anonymous. They put their names to their accusations, which is why you people are harassing them as well. Now, we haven't seen public demonstrations this pathological, this detached from reality since the summer of George Floyd. I mean, these are people who truly believe that if you're not white, then you simply cannot be held responsible for your own actions. Everything you do, no matter how unethical, degrading, psychotic, animalistic, or criminal is somehow caused by white people. You can commit violent felonies every time you get out of prison, as George Floyd did. You can fabricate every aspect of your life story and all of your work product as Jason Arde did. Arde even managed to abandon his children just like George Floyd. And none of it matters to these people.

As long as you're black, it's never your fault. So whose fault is it? Well, at this alleged vigil, the mob was pretty clear on that point. They blamed Nathan Kauffman's for Arde's death. They whipped themselves into a frenzy, in fact, about this, because Kovnis wrote a substack article that proved beyond any doubt that RDA was a fraud. And because of that, the mob made it clear that he's their enemy. He's not welcome in London for telling the truth. We can't have any truth tellers in London. Your kind is not welcome around here, was their message?

Watch. Now, first of all, at a vigil, after somebody dies, like at a memorial, you're supposed to memorialize that person's life. That's kind of the whole point. And the problem for these activists is that Jason Ardae's entire life was a fabrication, and he didn't do any actual work either. Like George Floyd before him, Jason Ardeh was merely a fraudster, someone who would rather die committing fraud than live an honest life. So they can't actually talk about his life in any meaningful way. Instead, they have to look outwards towards men like Nathan Kauffness.

In fact, it's quite telling that this was a vigil for a man who, a little. Spent his life fighting off masked attackers with knives and breaking world records with his endurance running skills and evading demonic racists who leave severed animal heads on his porch and achieving academic prominence despite being illiterate and many other accomplishments. And yet the people memorializing him didn't mention any of that. That's pretty rough. Imagine you do all that with your life and then you die and nobody at your memorial mentions any of it. I mean, you're going to be looking on from the afterlife thinking, like, what was the point? Well, no, it's almost as though they know that it was all nonsense. In case you couldn't hear, you know, it's kind of hard to hear what the speaker was saying.

It doesn't really matter. The speaker is attacking Koffness, saying that he was fired from his job at Emmanuel College, which is part of Cambridge because he's an evil white supremacist. And the mob booze and jeers in response, they don't actually challenge the legitimacy of Koffness's reporting. They don't dispute the accuracy of anything that he wrote on subsistinging. stack about how RDA is a fraud. Instead, they attack Kovnis' work, you know, his history to imply that he's dishonest in some way. Well, the truth is that Koffness was fired as a research assistant by Emanuel College in April of 2024, but only because he wrote a blog post that, to this day,

no one has refuted. In the post, Koffness wrote a data-driven, dispassionate, logical argument against DEI. He said that, we must, quote, accept that talent is not distributed equally within in or across groups. Because of course it isn't. He pointed out that according to Harvard's own internal data, the number of black students at Harvard would drop to less than 1% without DEI. And based on Harvard's finding, as well as similar data from other institutions, Koft has concluded that without DEI in a totally merit-driven system, the number of black professors at Harvard would approach 0%. He also argued that black people would, quote, disappear from almost all high-prof oppositions outside of sports and entertainment.

In other words, without DEI giving black candidates an artificial boost throughout their entire lives, the leaders of America's major institutions, generally speaking, would not be black. Now, you can disagree with that argument if you want to. You shouldn't because it's obviously true and the data bears it out, but no one at Emmanuel College or Cambridge was interested in disagreement. Instead, like virtually every other college, they're interested in enforcing left-wing orthodoxy. So they got rid of Kauffness, even though several faculty members supported him on free speech grounds. In every respect, this episode was shameful for Emmanuel College in Cambridge, not for Kauffman's.

But to communists and black activists who have their, you know, committed their lives to silencing anyone who disagrees with him, Kaufness deserved what he got. And now that he's refused to shut up and go away, now that he's still exposing these fraudsters, they want him dead. He's constantly getting death threats as these psychopaths stir up a mob against him. They're not furious that a black professor committed fraud. They're furious that a white guy exposed it. There are certain bills that arrive every month and you just accept them. You don't know exactly why they cost, what they cost.

You don't remember agreeing to half the charges. You just sort of assume that this is the price of participating in modern civilization. The cell phone bills, perhaps the finest example. Apparently, it costs a small fortune every month for the privilege of looking at your phone 400 times a day. But it doesn't have to. Pure Talk is currently offering any of their plans for just 15 bucks a month for your first three months. And when they say any plan, they really mean it. You can even choose their top tier, $65 unlimited plan and pay just $15 a month for the first three months. That's up to $150 in savings. Plus, there's no service contract, no cancellation fee.

And when you need customer service, you get 100% U.S.-based customer service every time you need it. So perhaps we've reached the point where blindly paying an enormous wireless bill every month is just no longer necessary. Progress.

The modern university system has become remarkably good at charging parents a fortune to undermine their values, the values they spent. years teaching their children. If you're looking for an alternative to the woke university system, take a look at Grand Canon University. GCU is a private, non-profit Christian university that builds upon faith, character, and purpose. Instead of treating them as obstacles to an education,

students can choose from hundreds of programs designed to build practical skills and prepare them for meaningful careers, whether they study at GCU's Phoenix campus or online. That might mean preparing to lead a classroom, care for patients, build a business, or serve a community. The specific career may differ, but the goal is the same, leaving college ready to pursue something meaningful. GCU also understands that this kind of education needs to remain within reach. While the cost of nearly everything continues to rise, GCU has held tuition steady on a traditional campus for 17 years. They've continued investing in the student experience, as well, with 75% of their programs and facilities built within just the last decade. More than 132,000 students,

have chosen GCU for an education grounded in purpose, leadership, and faith. Learn more at GCU.edu, Grand Canyon University, private, Christian, affordable, non-profit, that's gCU.edu. One of the reasons this kind of propaganda can be effective is that if you're a normal person who doesn't have time to follow all the details of the case, then you might take their word for it. After all, how could so many people be so wrong about the basic facts of a major story? story. Of course, that happens all the time. We saw something similar with the Michael Brown case, to give just one example of many. Tens of millions of Americans thought he said, hands up, don't

shoot before getting shot in the back. It's a lie that persists to this day. The average observer will hear a narrative like that. They'll assume it's true because they hear it everywhere, and then it becomes very difficult to change their mind. By the time you're explaining to them that Michael Brown was a thug who attacked a shop clerk and then beat a cop while trying to take his gun and that all the forensics bore this out and that this was the finding even of Obama's own DOJ, it's too late. So it's important to highlight as directly as possible the sheer absurdity of the mob's position in this particular case. And instead of showing you how Jason Ardei plagiarized most of his academic work or how he lied about pig's heads

getting left on his porch or masked men chasing him around campus or whatever. I'm going to do something a little unorthodox. I'm going to turn the floor over to Jason Ardei himself. And before we get to his lecture, we'll start with the abstract of one of Arde's published papers. This was flagged by Drew Pavlou. And here's how it reads. I'm going to read exactly what it says.

This is Jason Arde. Replete with espoused discourses of equality, diversity, and inclusion within public bodies is the UK, wherein lauded initiatives reward its university's commitments to increasing the access and positioning of women in higher education. Now, this is, of course, horrendous, ugly, clunky writing with all the grace of a washing machine falling down the stairs. It's also exactly what you'd expect from a sociology professor, by the way. Sociology is a pseudoscience where academics just make up a bunch of gibberish and try to compensate for the lack of substance by using big, important-sounding words.

Also note the hideous clashing mixture of modern bureaucratic jargon on one hand and these archaic formalities on the other hand, like wherein. Another hallmark of half-wits who have nothing to say, but we'll spend 10,000 words saying it anyway, a very reliable general rule that many people have noticed is this. smart people make complicated subjects seem simple. Pretentious morons like Jason Ardei make simple subjects seem complicated. And academia, especially sociology, is overrun by the latter group.

Or, you know, to put this in words that sociology professors would understand, rather than, you know, rather than just saying that Ardae's writing is ugly and bad, which is all that needs to be said, I will only say that the aforementioned syntatic assemblage revealed itself to be an aesthetically deficient and stylistically ungainly construction, one whose profound paucity of substantive intellectual content left it entirely bereft of any meaningful conceptual profundity or discursive rigor. And moreover, its compositional architecture was marked by an utterly gratuitous proliferation of ornamental rhetorical flourishes and elaborations whose sole effect was to amplify

an already excessive prolixity, thereby transforming what might otherwise have been a simple utterance into an exercise and wholly superfluous and brokly inflated verbosity. See, I can use a thesaurus also. It took a while, but, you know, someone give me a PhD. I mean, I can do this too. So let's take a look now at the title page of Arde's dissertation, next to the title page of the dissertation that he plagiarized. And this was first noticed by Hans Mank. This is pretty incredible also.

So notice that the apostrophe, after the word teachers, appears in both titles. Well, the problem is, you know, I'm not an English major, but the apostrophe makes sense only in that other dissertation. It doesn't make any sense in our days. So you see, when you say teachers with an apostrophe, you're saying that something belongs to the teachers. And in the original dissertation, the author is talking about a reflective practice that, belongs to the teachers. But Arde's title, which he copied, reads simply, quote, an exploration of peer mentoring among student teachers. And then he adds the apostrophe for no reason. You know, it's astonishing to think about. He plagiarized everything from this other dissertation,

even the title. But he couldn't even do that right. He includes a glaring typo in the title of the most important document of his academic career. But it's not really a typo at all. he simply carried over the apostrophe from the original document without looking at it. And nobody at Cambridge, that prestigious university, noticed this. The odds are extremely high that none of these people read the dissertation or any other dissertation. But things get even worse for our day when you put yourself in the position of one of his students and actually listen to what he asked to say. So this is from one of his recent lectures entitled Engaging Pedagogically with Race and Racism.

We're going to watch some footage of the master at work so we can judge whether or not he actually deserved to be a full professor at Cambridge, which is the most prestigious level they have. And we'll give the mob the benefit of the doubt. You know, we'll forget about all the plagiarism and all the dishonesty and narcissism. And we'll just kind of listen to the man speak to see if he deserved to have the position that he did. We'll start with the beginning of our day's lecture, where he discusses the sinister nature of whiteness. And now, before we go any further, you should make a mental note about the fact that this particular DEI hire, like every other DEI hire, is only capable of talking about how we need even more DEI hires. That is the extent of Jason Arde's contribution to academia. Now, your expectations were probably already pretty low, given that he was a professor of sociology.

But the reality of this guy's drivel is even worse than you might think. He never makes a single original or interesting argument about anything. It just makes more demands and more complaints. And the arguments don't even make sense. So behold the beginning of Jason Ardeh's lecture, which you can watch without being a student at the highly prestigious Cambridge University, if you can imagine it, bask in your good fortune as we all absorb the wisdom of Jason Ardeh. Watch.

You know, whiteness, the centrality of whiteness is all encompassing. And it very much still defines a lot of what we do in our learning. teaching and university spaces. I think the monopoly and the proliferation of kind of dominant white European canons, it compromises all our curriculum. You know, if we think through kind of STEM, if we think through kind of things around English literature, if we think through things around engaging in social sciences, human sciences, a lot of it is centered around kind of dominant white philosophies.

And I think one of the things that becomes really important is this idea of where do black Asian and minority ethnic learners in the classroom space, how do they then conceptualize other people that have contributed to the canon? How do they develop that knowledge that, in essence, is supposed to equip them to undertake their place in the world of work? Well, we're off to a great start here. The centrality of whiteness is all-encompassing, he says, which seems like a contradiction because something in the center cannot be all-encompassing. by definition, if you're in the center, then you're not everywhere else. You're just in the center.

Centrality indicates a focal point within the larger thing. All encompassing indicates that it is the larger thing. So a thing cannot be within the larger thing and also be the larger thing at the same time. This might seem like a semantic point, but as you'll see, it's a recurring theme with Jason Ardei and D.I. activists in general. They say things and write things and copy-paste things that make no sense and are meant to sound a whole lot smarter than they really are. It's all just gibberish. Then you get to Arda is really interesting and original take, which is that the proliferation of dominant white European canons compromises all of our curriculum. Now far be it for me, a lowly podcaster with only

a high school diploma to critique the grammar and vocabulary of an esteemed Cambridge professor. But in context, It seems that the word he wants here is comprise, not compromise. He seems to be trying to say that dominant white European canons make up encompass. And he says that, the curriculum, which would mean comprise, not compromise. That would be the correct word. And he specifically says that STEM, which is short for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, is, quote, centered around kind of dominant white philosophies. Of course, he never explains what he means by that, which is another recurring theme in his fake scholarship.

He just throws it out there. STEM is compromised by dominant white philosophies. And we're led to believe that this is a bad thing because black and Asian students will struggle to conceptualize other people that have contributed to the canon. And somehow this will hurt them when they leave college and enter the world of work. None of this makes even the slightest amount of sense,

no matter how long you spend thinking about it, which you shouldn't spend any time. It sounds like he's complaining about the fact that Europe was the birthplace of the scientific revolution that he wishes Compernicus and Bacon and Galileo and Newton had been morbidly obese black women instead. Which, you know, there's really nothing we can do about that at this point. The ship has sailed. Newton was who he was.

The reality is that the people who contributed the most to the advancement of civilization, the 17th and 18th centuries especially, and before that, forming the basis for modern-day STEM were white men. In fact, nearly everyone who contributed to those advancements during that time were white men. The non-white male contributors were the rare exceptions. That is an inconvenient fact for DEI activists to be sure. It might lead people to wonder what exactly Africa, you know, why exactly Africa lag so far behind what was going on there. But it still doesn't explain what Jason Ardei wants to do about it.

It is what it is. It was what it was. There's also the fact that inventions like algebra and Arabic numerals are obviously a part of mathematics education, even though white Europeans did not come up with those. It's almost as if when you're learning about biology or calculus or the laws of thermodynamics, it doesn't matter who contributed to the canon. You're learning objective facts where quote unquote lived experience and political ideology and skin color are irrelevant. So what is he talking about exactly? Instead of explaining himself, he moves right along to discuss another meaningless string of woke cliches. Watch. So one thing that I think is really important is this idea of kind of systemic racism and stereotypes against ethnic minority groups.

I think when you don't have, pedagogically speaking, people who are from those backgrounds in those spaces, I do think that there is licensed. to misconstrue particular dynamics and concepts. So, for example, I may talk about gender inequality, but actually, as a black male that now resides in a privileged position, there are a lot of things that I'm not going to be able to relate to. So I may be able to speak about them, but unless I declare absolute modesty, which I always do when I talk about issues that I'm not,

you know, I understand them, but I've not experienced them, there is license to get things wrong. There is license to miscommunicate. There is license to kind of pick up different discourses that may not be actually 1,000% accurate. And I think when you're doing this, of course you can't be absolutely accurate, but you need to be able to speak to a lived experience and understand it, if anything else. Well, one thing we've learned is that this guy absolutely loves the word pedagogically. He obviously just heard that word before he went to go give this talk.

And he's like, that's a great word. I got to, which I get it. You know, sometimes you hear a word and just like you like the word. You got to kind of like rope it into conversation. And it is a fun word. I once, this is true. I once used the word pedagogue, G-O-G at the end, which I think is a valid spelling. I use it in Scrabble and it was the greatest board game related achievement of my life.

Almost as impressive as running 300 miles in three days. But, you know, we can't all be Jason Arde. Anyway, he says he's willing to speak about issues that he doesn't. have personal experience with, which is good because his personal experiences are all fake. But he says that when he does so, he will declare absolute modesty. So presumably this is like when Michael Scott declared bankruptcy in the office. He'll stand in front of the lecture hall and scream, I declare absolute modesty. A thoughtful gesture, I suppose, but a bit paradoxical.

I mean, how does one declare something modestly? How does a modest person claim absolute modesty? Like, by definition, if you're modest, the very last thing you would ever do is declare yourself to be so, much less claim to be perfectly so. To declare your modesty is to negate the claim just by making it. Now, he says that unless you have the right lived experience, then there is, quote, a license to get things wrong, a license to miscommunicate, a license to miscommunicate, a license to pick up different discourses that might not be a thousand percent accurate. Of course, you can't be absolutely accurate, but you need to be able to speak to a lived experience and understand it, if anything else.

Now, I won't even get into, like, someone who's an academic and pretends to be really smart and uses all this, like, complex language, then using the term 1,000 percent. I won't even get into it. We'll let that one slide. I think by license, he means tendency. But it's still a completely incoherent statement, all things considered. There's a contradiction every other sentence. We're not even going to dwell on the fact that lived experience is redundant.

Every experience is lived by definition. If you didn't live it, it's not an experience. And if you experienced it, you must have lived it. You can't experience something you didn't live. Can you have an unlived experience? Now, he also says you don't need to be absolutely accurate, but at the same time it's a bad thing if you're not a thousand percent accurate, well, which is it? And while we're at it, why exactly do you need to have direct firsthand experience with a particular

issue in order to teach it? Wouldn't that exclude every living person from teaching like every subject ever? How are you going to find a professor with lived experience about the crusades? Exactly. Never mind the fact that black academics like Ardei are constantly going on and on about whiteness, despite having no lived experience with being white. These are questions that if Jason Ardei was an actual academic, maybe he'd have some answers for.

He'd offer ideas that withstand some degree of scrutiny. Instead, we get word salad again and again. So here's one more clip from this lecture to understand what he's saying here to the extent that it's even possible. You need a quick primer on woke speak. So BAME means black and Asian students and tariffs refer to test scores that UK students earn prior to going to college. So in this clip, he's making the point that black students have the same high grades as white students in high school.

But when they get to college, the black students perform much worse, which he states is clearly the result of racism. What else could it possibly be? Watch. But I think one of the things that's kind of really important is these ideas around kind of the disparities in attainment. Why is it happening? Yes, the obvious comparison to draw is between BAME and why students at UCL, but in terms of the disparity, the disparity, one of the things that's kind of really important to acknowledge is that a lot of these BAME students come into UCL with high tariffs in the first place, because UCL asks for high tariffs in terms of being able to study here.

So if they're coming out of here and they're not achieving what they should be achieving, the go-to is always that it's because the students are not capable. Those BME students are not as capable as those white students. They're coming on the same tariff. So there's something institutionally that's happened or happening in our institutions across the sector, not singling out at UCL, that needs to change to mobilize those students to fulfill their full potential. Do you say disparancy? like disparate but disparance?

Maybe I might have misheard that one. You never know. It's hard to say because that's not a real word, but I might have misheard it. Common sense tells you that he must be leaving out a few variables here. It doesn't make sense on its face that black students would get the same grades as white students in high school and then suddenly perform much worse when they get to a university due to racism. For one thing, we all know that these colleges go out of their way to appease black students. And so do high schools and every other kind of school.

Makes a lot more sense to conclude. that the university level coursework is much more challenging as compared to whatever the tariffs are measuring. Now, I'm not from the UK, obviously, thank God. I've never spent any amount of time there, have no interest in it. I have no lived experience with it. But even with five seconds of research, I identified the problem. See, it turns out that tariffs can refer to exam-based tests that are academic in nature, or it can refer to vocational coursework, like classes on plumbing and heating. So it's possible for a black student to have high tariffs or test scores in, say, plumbing, something vocational, while a white student has high tariffs in science, math, and those subjects. It wouldn't be remotely surprising if when these two students arrive in college, the white student outclasses the black one on academic subjects.

That's not racism. It's a problem in how you're admitting students because they're black, even though they're not cut out for college. And like Jason Ardei, when these black students are put in an environment that's out of their league, they quickly fall apart. So where does this go from here? Well, based on that vigil and the statements of black activists in the UK who have the support of the Prime Minister, by the way, we can expect a new crackdown on free speech. This is from a woman with the Good Law Project, which I mentioned earlier. Watch. Night of the tragic death of Jason Ardey yesterday. First of all, I'd like to say rest in peace and my deepest, deepest condolences to his family and friends. I can't imagine.

I can't even begin to imagine what they're going through right now. But they're not alone. We have written a collective letter, open letter to the Prime Minister. That letter has been signed by several individuals, many of whom are both. Black prominent individuals who have experienced the level of targeting and harassment and racially motivated harassment from the UK media. It's not something that we're going to continue to tolerate. We do believe now enough is enough and the UK media have to be held responsible for their conduct. So we have written to the Prime Minister.

There is a collective approach to this which is very, very important from the black community. and if you feel as strongly as we do about the accountability and the responsibility of the UK media, please we share the letter and the post and would really appreciate your collective support. Well, the goal here is to make it a crime in the UK to notice anything that's inconvenient to black activists. You see, they're allowed to lie with impunity without any government intervention, but if you tell the truth about what they're doing, you should go to prison. As I understand it, Good Law Project is a nonprofit in the UK, and they were heavily involved in spreading lies to defend Ardei. So if anything, as Andy Noe put it, quote, a public inquiry is needed into the Good Law Project for misleading the public with claims that Ardea's academic research was ethical and sound. Will that happen? Well, of course not. We all saw the state of academia in the UK when Charlie Kirk went to Oxford, where he debated the president of the Oxford Union, their famous debate society. And, um, You know, the president whose name was George Aberronier,

was some foreigner wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, looking like he was high out of his mind. And shortly afterwards, when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, this same guy celebrated the news. He wrote, quote, Charlie Kirk got shot, let's effing go. So that's the end game for these degenerate black activists. And we can't forget it. This is not merely a story about one fraudster

and the white liberal women who enabled him. It's that, it's about that, but also if you stand in the way of their ideological takeover, if you have the wrong skin color, these people want you dead. They're not upset that Jason Ardei took his own life. They're upset that a white person like Nathan Kauffness wasn't killed instead. They would have preferred to see Kauffness gutted like Henry Novak on the sidewalk. And they're infuriated that he's still alive, while the highest-profiled DEI hire in the entire country, the fraudster they expended so much energy to defend, the guy who could supposedly run 300 miles

and three days, is not. This is an unusual position for these leftists. They're so used to killing their political opposition that they genuinely can't process the fact that they've lost one of their most prominent pieces on the chessboard. But it's happened because in their request to place a DEI hire at Cambridge, they overlooked his obvious psychosis and mental instability. And even now, when the evidence of their immorality and corruption is laid so bare that a blind man could see it, they're refusing to engage in an ounce of introspection. They'd much rather resort to violence. As Jason Arde himself used to say, and I quote, yeah, I'm chilling on a dirt road, laid back swerving like I'm George Jones. And it's funny how rumors spread. Man, that talk is getting old. You better mind your business, man, watch your mouth before I have to knock that loud mouth out.

actually just a correction. I think that was Jason Aldine, not Arde, my mistake. But in the spirit of the late Jason Ardei, we'll just pretend he said it. And the point is, never forget these scenes in Trafalgar Square. Do not forget the lies they will tell and the atrocities they will commit in order to defend their bankrupt ideology, especially now that it's been exposed so publicly. I saw somebody observe that, you know, this wasn't really a vigil at Trafalgar Square on Monday. It was more like a last stand.

That was the last gasp of an ideology that's on the verge of defeat. And if you're the optimistic type, then one way to read the sheer incoherence and depravity that was on display is just that. It was a stark reminder of what these demons are capable of and how we must commit ourselves, especially with some very important elections coming up, to ensure that they never again hold power in our own country. That I'll do for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed. My years of public life, I have never profited from public service. I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their president's a crook.

Well, I'm not a crook. For more than five decades, from Iran-Contra to Monica Lewinsky to Russia Gate, every political scandal has been measured against one, the Watergate affair. But what if Richard Nixon was telling the truth? What if Watergate is a what it seems. What if hundreds of thousands of pages of sworn testimony, memoirs, and newly released government documents tell a different story than the one you learned in school? I know America. In 1972, Nixon won the biggest electoral landslide in modern American history with grand plans to remake the federal government. Two years later, he was out of office. You were taught that

Nixon's men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to spy on his political You were taught that when he found out, Nixon covered it up, and that the cover-up was worse than the crime. You were taught that two heroic Washington Post reporters, guided by a righteous FBI whistleblower, brought the most powerful man in the world to justice. But you were never taught what really happened. I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. The real history of the Watergate scandal is available now on Daily Wire Plus.
