In the story tradition of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, and Michael Brown, Democrats have finally named their BLM martyr for the 2026 election season, and that is an 18-year-old black man named Nolan Wells, who drowned while on a boat trip on the 4th of July. Now, we're told he's the latest casualty of white supremacy and indeed of whiteness itself. I take a look at this

footage as you watch it, and as you watch it, keep in mind, this is the Democrats leader in the House of Representatives talking about a random teenager who drowned while partying with his friends. watch. The Mississippi grand jury decision with respect to Nolan Wells is very disappointing and leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Nolan Wells was a star athlete and yet the claim is that he accidentally drowned. Nolan Wells allegedly gave his keys, his wallet, and his cell phone to his friends. Why in the world would he do that? An independent autopsyllular, found that Nolan Wells had trauma and severe bruising to his head. And yet, that appears inconsistent with an accidental drowning.

A lot of questions remain. We're going to make sure we get the answers. Justice delayed for Nolan Wells will not be justice denied. Now, to be clear, Hakeem Jeffries is referring to a unanimous grand jury decision, which concluded that none of the conspiracy theories about Nolan Wells have any merit whatsoever. And for the record, there were several black people on this grand jury, and they spent the better part of a week listening to all of the evidence. But Akeem Jeffries is not convinced. He thinks it's very strange that Wells left behind his cell phone, even though several other

people did as well, which isn't a very strange thing to do when you're swimming. And Jeffery seems to believe that Wells suffered a serious, potentially fatal head injury, which also is not remotely true. We have to appreciate the irony here also, which is that after Obama's personal chef bizarrely drowned outside Obama's mansion on Martha's Vineyard a few years ago, these same people told us that there was no cause for alarm at all.

Yes, there was documentary evidence that the chef knew how to swim and that he should have been able to handle the pond on Obama's estate, but one day, nevertheless, he somehow died while paddleboarding, and nobody on the left finds it remotely suspicious. And, you know, maybe the chef really did just accidentally drown, but if you're going to claim that there's something inherently suspicious about an able-bodied male randomly drowning with no clear explanation, then by definition, you must find this event at Obama's house highly suspicious. On the other hand, if you're willing to accept that random accidental drownings happen sometimes, actually it happened a lot,

And if you're willing to defer to medical examiners and autopsies confirming that a drowning didn't involve any foul play, as you must be if you aren't demanding that Barack Obama be hauled in for questioning, then logically you have to apply that to Nolan Wells. But the key word there is logically, and as we know, the race hustlers do not concern themselves with such trifles as logic. We'll have much more on the Nolan Wells case in just a few minutes. This is really a case that deserves a deep dive now that Democrats have decided to, to make it a central talking point ahead of the midterms. And we also need to talk about how,

at precisely the same moment, the Democrats are trying to start a race war, leaders of third world nations, mostly in Africa, are storming the United Nations demanding reparations, which presumably would ultimately be funneled to the progeny of the Africans who actually ran the slave trade. We'll talk more about that as well. What we're seeing here is not an accident.

This is a coordinated effort to bring back the BLM riots of 2020, and we're going to expose it. This is an all-out push to cause race riots in an election year, and it's not hard to figure out who's behind it. So we'll get into all of that in a moment. I want to start with a horrifying killing that took place in Charlotte in January of this year. So just before 6 p.m., a 28-year-old black woman in Charlotte named Coulondra Hood, yes, her name is Culondra Hood, ran a red light and mowed down a white 25-year-old runner

named Lance Sotelo. Kulandra Hood then fled the scene, leaving Sotelo to die in the street, which he did. After Hood was apprehended the next day, the DA reduced the more serious charges to felony hit and run and misdemeanor death by vehicle.

Because apparently misdemeanor death by vehicle is a charge that exists and gave the sentencing judge discretion on how to proceed. Now, the case went before Mecklenburg, Superior Court Judge Reggie McNight, who, as you already guessed, is black, and hearing all the evidence and the pleas from the victim's family and friends for a meaningful punishment, he sentenced Culandra to a grand total of 16 to 36 months of jail time, with the entire sentence

suspended except for 30 days, which means that realistically she's going to be out of jail after killing someone in 30 days. That's how these suspended sentences always work, no matter what other crimes she might commit. Oh, and she also has to pay a restitution of $765. That's it. For mowing down and killing a white guy in the middle of the street, this black woman has been given a lighter sentence than what you might receive for shoplifting or trespassing.

In fact, in most states, you can get six months in jail or more for reckless driving where you don't kill anyone. Which means that this woman will spend less time in jail for recklessly driving and killing someone than many people have received for recklessly driving and not killing someone. Try to make sense of that. Well, it's easy to make sense of. This is just how it works when your skin pigmentation is dark enough to qualify as a get-out-of-jail-free card. Cases like this happen all the time in this country, by the way.

Here's another example. There are several people were allegedly punched in the face at an Aurora Street Festival. Festival. Prosecutors say that 30-year-old Calvin Jones punched a teenager, two women, and a man who was carrying his one-year-old child. Police say that Jones then spit in an officer's face and eye. He was released with conditions and is due back in court on October the 13th. So a black man who was already on pretrial release for burglary punches several women, a 15-year-old boy and a father holding his one-year-old child, terrorizing a family festival. and this just happened over the weekend in Aurora, Illinois, and after being released, after being arrested, he was released the same day. This is how it goes in the country, particularly in left-wing cities. Black criminals can violently attack and even kill whoever they want. And especially if their victims are white, they'll suffer no consequences or comparatively minor consequences.

Instead, what will happen is that the most prominent Democrats and media outlets in the country will demonize white people and claim without any evidence whatsoever that whites are the ones who are somehow, terrorizing black people. The other day we outlined the deranged effort on the left to pretend that white supremacists are lynching random black people. This is an extensive and well-funded propaganda campaign, which is just kicked into overdrive, to the point that the Congressional Black Caucus, along with the NACP, just met for an event. We'll show you the flyer here called Stop the Lynchings. And you could see the flyer right there. I mean, just totally egregious. They even added a noose for good measure in case you were confused. Never mind the fact that once again, no one has been lynched at all in this country at any point this century.

The last lynching in this country was more than 40 years ago. The second to last one was 20 years before that. A congressional campaign to stop the lynchings in 2026, it is exactly like forming a task force to develop a polio vaccine in 2026. And meanwhile, Iyana Presley, the member of Congress from Massachusetts, posted the following message on social media. She says, quote, black folks are being found hanged in America. This is a national crisis, and we cannot stand by while strange fruit hangs from trees across the country. Strange fruit hangs from trees across. That's how you refer to these poor people that have, they've all really committed suicide or most of them.

strange fruit? We're demanding a federal investigation now so we can stop modern-day lynchings. AOC was quick to agree. She says, quote, this year there have already been 10 reported hangings of black people in the U.S. I'm proud to have signed on to Ayanna Presley's letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings

and put a stop to this racial terror. Again, it's totally invented. These are extremely AOC is going to run for president. I mean, these are the most prominent members of Congress that we have. Flat out lying about a, you know, a epidemic of black people being lynched. Several other prominent Democrats echoed this messaging, including Roe Kana and Jasmine Crockett, who together have the approximate combined IQ of, you know, boiled cabbage.

which is no excuse, by the way, for them telling lies. And you can see their posts on the screen right now. They all claim that black people are being lynched, even though it's not happening at all, period. In every single one of these reported hangings, as AOC calls them, the victim was either murdered by a black person or, more commonly, committed suicide. In one case, a black man was actually recorded on camera, as we talked about yesterday, taking the noose himself. to the site where he hanged himself, unfortunately. In another case, the BLM lawyer Ben Crump, who has, of course, never seen a race hoax he didn't like,

ghosted the victim's family because their case was so bad. It was so bad that even he couldn't get behind it. That doesn't mean that Ben Crump has given up on his grift, of course. Lately, his main fixation, which is shared by top Democrats at black activists, has been this Nolan Wells case, who, as I mentioned, drowned during a July 4th boating trip with his friends on Horn Island off of Mississippi. Mississippi. This is a case that in the eyes of many black people in this country is like a watergate level cover up. So here's a woman identifying herself as Dr. Shola Mas Shagbamimu

to give us the rundown on how this case is being perceived by a very large number of black Americans. Listen. Hey, everyone. So I've been sitting with a decision of the grant during the Nolan Wells case for something like a minute now and I swear to God I swear to God there's nothing more frustrating painful heartbreaking and enraging than a system that is set up to treat your life like it doesn't matter no one wells was murdered people he was murdered blunt force trauma what do you mean what do you mean you just drowned The circumstances point to a third party movement.

Yeah, so there's Shola Mas Shagbamimu. So we've got Kulandra, we've got Shagbamimu. Just take the bag of scrabble tiles and dump it out on the table. And that's how we're coming up with names, apparently. Now, we can assume that Dr. Shola Mas Shogbamimu is not a medical doctor based on the fact that she apparently believes blunt force trauma is inconsistent with drowning. Apparently no one has ever hit their head and fallen into. to the water at any point in human history.

It's not like that's the way that drowning very often happens. It's not like that is extremely common. As best I can tell, much of the outrage in this case is based on this image, which we'll show you, which is from the day that Wells went missing. And you can see a few members of his friend group there. He's surrounded by white kids. Apparently, if a black guy hangs out with white guys and then later dies, that alone is evidence that he was murdered in some kind of homicidal racist conspiracy.

To be clear, to be clear, first of all, that is the only quote-unquote evident. That is what all of this is based on. It's just that, that he was hanging out with white people. That's it. And also, to be clear, not that it even matters, but while Wells is pictured with white people in this photograph, he was not the only black guy at this gathering. It turns out, as the grand jury found, quote, the grand jury recognizes there have been public assertions that Mr. Wells was the only African-American individual in Horn Island on July 4,

26. The grand jury finds that Mr. Wells was not the only African-American on Horton Island that day. These false assertions have led to misidentification, speculation, and rumors concerning the death of Mr. Wells. Now, to give some more context here, Wells went to the island with his friends on a boat called the Triton. And two other boats went as well, the Tideline and the Palm Beach. In the late afternoon, the three boats left the island. But Wells, according to his friend, stayed behind. As the Triton was leaving, it experienced a bilge pump and motor malfunction. And there was a distress call from the boat to a seato around 4 p.m. And if you listen to audio recordings of this distress call that you'll find online,

including recordings that were pushed by Nancy Grace, it appears that the people on the boat are talking about Wells being dead. That's what it appears, how it appears. Listen. Detail assistant, Vicki speaking. How can I help you? Hey, we're at the West tip of horn. And our village

stopped working, we're sinking. Can y'all please come? We have a membership. All right, of course. How far is the water coming up, sir? Can you give me a description? ankles. Hello?

Hey. Yes, how far is the water coming up, sir? It's coming up. We're just thinking. I don't know. Like, we're going down now. What did we just hear? What?

Was that? Straight out to investigative reporter crime stories, Dave Mack, did you just hear what I heard? Now, this has been transcribed and this is the C-toe dispatch call. Because Dave, when I first heard this, I thought, has this been doctored? Is this real? Where's this coming from, Dave? This is an official recording, Nancy, that is being issued. And it's shocking when you listen to this call for a toe, for this seato. Going further into it, Nancy, you're picking apart all of the different voices that can be heard on this one phone call, trying to determine what is really taking place on this boat that is allegedly sitting in 31 feet of water, a depth of 31 feet. And I bilge pump not working, claiming they're sinking and calling for help. And yet in the background, are we really hearing all of this other activity? Now, on its own, that audio obviously sounds alarming.

It's, you know, the kind of thing that makes it sound like Wells' friends lied about leaving him on the island. The thing is, though, there's no reason to believe that the audio is accurate. This was billed as enhanced audio, quote unquote, by Nancy Grace, but it seems like it was enhanced by being totally made up, possibly with AI. This is from the grand jury's report. The grand jury received the original C-to-Call made by the documents of the Triton on July 4th, 2026. The grand jury finds that the various C-to-calls and interpretations of the calls circulating on the Internet and social media are not true and accurate. In other words, the smoking gun is a fabrication, and it's being spread all over the Internet as if it's real. And that's one of the reasons that Ben Crump and the Democrat Party have been able to convince millions of dumb things.

people that Wells was murdered. Watch. Two medical examiners. Contusions on the back of Noglundas aid and bruises, Dr. Roger Mitchell found bruises on his back. What caused him and did they contribute to his death? This blood force trauma is relevant and we need to know. What caused the blunt force trauma to the back of Nolan Wells' aid? What caused the blunt force trauma in the contusions to his back? Common sense tells you that this child didn't just accidentally drown.

As Dr. Roger Mitchell said in his report, it is important to know, what were the conditions that led to Nolan Xavier Wells being in the war? We're going to fight to hell freezes over until we found out the truth of what happened to Nolan Xavier well and don't attack these parents don't attack us to support of these parents for doing the same exact thing that you would do. It was your child. How scary you can feel as well.

It can be attempting to not take Ben Crump seriously, given that he looks and sounds and has the public speaking ability and presumably the SAT scores of a black Elmer Fudd. But unfortunately, even if Crump is a cartoonish dimwit, he has a lot of influence over a lot of people in this country who are also cartoonish dimwits. And here, Crump makes the cartoonishly dimwitted claim that somehow the evidence doesn't matter and the medical report doesn't matter. This is don't matter because common sense tells us that Wells didn't, quote, just drown. Now, that claim might make sense to someone who has no sense, common or otherwise, but to everybody else, common sense runs in the exact opposite direction here. You know, most rational adults know that drownings happen all the time. Roughly 4,000 to 4,500 people die from drowning every year in the United States.

That average about to 11 people per day. And the majority of those victims are adults. Some of them are drunk, some of them are high, but usually it's just extremely bad luck. And indeed, in many of these cases, when people drown, it's often because they hit their head on a rock or the side of a boat or on a dock or a wave crashes in them or something like that. And when that happens, it can be violent. It doesn't mean somebody murdered them. It's a regular occurrence. It happens literally every day in this country, multiple times a day, every day.

It's sad and tragic every single time, but there's nothing shocking from a statistical perspective. about what happened on Nolan Wells or any of these other drownings. Now, let's go through some recent cases, all of which are from this year. If you need proof that people drown all the time, then, you know, okay. Dorian Jackson, a 21-year-old black student at North Carolina, A&T State University, just drowned after attempting to rescue his sister when her kayak capsized on Lake Norman around 7 p.m. She was 30 yards from the dock of a nearby residence. and multiple people jumped in the water to try to help.

But for reasons that aren't clear, Jackson went under and didn't come back up. He wasn't wearing a life jacket at the time. And now he's sadly perished. Maybe he had a heart attack. Maybe he fainted. You know, we have no idea. He lost consciousness in someone. We have no idea.

All we know is that he was a young, seemingly healthy man. And then he drowned. Also this summer, Harshita Nair and Mihail Sran, two college students from the San Francisco Bay area, were swept into the ocean and drowned. Apparently while they were napping on Panther Beach and Santa Cruz, another theory is they were hit by a wave. The tide rose very quickly, and by the time rescuers pulled them out, they were dead. Then there's the case of Jimmy Gracie, a student at the University of Alabama. While on spring break, he fell into the water, drowned near a nightclub in Barcelona, Spain back in March. she got separated from his friends and was last seen walking alone along a rocky coastline.

His wallet was recovered nearby, suggesting it wasn't a robbery. An autopsy report showed that Gracie sustained injuries consistent with repeatedly striking rocks for hours. But his death was ruled accidental because when you're in the water and unconscious, you're going to sustain those kinds of injuries. That's not that surprising. There are dozens of more examples I could say. And not all of them in turbulent or rocky waters. There was a case last month in New York when a grown man drowned in his own backyard pool.

Nobody knows exactly why he drowned, but he did. And the police say the incident was non-criminal. Now, you don't hear about these cases because they're totally unremarkable, although terribly sad, but, you know, again, statistically they're not remarkable. People drown all the time. And in particular, young people who are on vacation have an unusually high risk of drowning, especially when drugs or alcohol are involved. And yes, they also hit their heads. There's a very simple way to make a 15-year-old hate The Odyssey. hand him a worksheet and ask what the C symbolizes. Then blame Homer when he never reads it again. But the Odyssey has shaped the Western imagination for nearly 3,000 years because it's far more than an old adventure story. It asks enduring questions about courage, loyalty, temptation, marriage, family, and the search for home. A good teacher does more than explain what happens in a story.

He helps you to recognize why it matters. And that's what Professor Benedict Whalen does in Hillsdale College's free online courses on The Odyssey.

The only reason a district attorney in Jackson County, Mississippi sent the case to a grand jury was to placate the mobs of black activists who demanded a prosecution. The DA didn't want to have to make the decision herself, so she convened a grand jury to investigate the case for five days. And during the grand jury's exhaustive investigation, a grand jury that I will reiterate consisted of five black people. They listened to 43 witnesses, more than 100 subpoenas were issued, all kinds of experts testified. This is already way more than is usually done for

accidental drownings where no foul play is evident or suspected. And the grand jury, after hearing all the testimony, concluded in no uncertain terms that the position of the condition of the time of discovery and the location of Wells' body was consistent with drowning. And if you read the report, they addressed these specific issues that Ben Crump and Hakeem Jeffries were complaining about. So let's put the grand jury's report on the screen. Quote, there was bruising on the back of Mr. Wells's head, which was not a fatal injury. Further, the grand jury found no evidence of any fatal injury or organic disease to Mr. Wells' body, the state of Mississippi's chief medical examiner and a doctor disagree about the presence of bruising non-deep tissue on Mr. Wells's

buttocks and shoulder. The grand jury considered credible evidence concerning the circumstances of how Mr. Wells sustained the injury to the back of his head, but the exact cause of the injury remains uncertain. A witness testified under oath that he saw Mr. Wells' slipped awkwardly off the side of a boat around the time of 3.30 p.m. on July 4th, but could not say whether Mr. Wells struck his head during the fall. It would have testified that Mr. Wells continued to socialize after the fall and did not appear injured. So whatever caused this contusion, it was not a fatal injury. Contrary to what he Kim Jeffries and Ben Crump suggested, nobody clubbed this guy in the back of his head. And secondly,

there's reason to believe that Wells sustained the injury when he fell on the boat. I've also seen suggestions and speculation from morticians that during the autopsy, it's possible Wells could have suffered an injury consistent with contusion as his head was placed in a positioning device. So maybe that was it. But as far as actual witness testimony in the case, the closest we have to an explanation for the contusion is that he fell and hit his head. Now, you might say, well, the witness who saw Wells fall was probably one of the murderers. He's in on it. It's a gigantic, racist cover-up after all. So, of course, these secret Klansmen who were friends with Wells for some reason and went on vacation with him would lie about him falling and hitting his head.

Well, the thing is, the grand jury considered that possibility, and they didn't simply take the witness's word for it. So let's go to page six of the grand jury report. Here it is. Quote, the grand jury finds that GPS data and security footage confirm the accounts of the passengers on the Triton, Palm Beach, and Tideon. The grand jury finds that Mr. Wells was not in any physical altercation or argument on July 4th, 2026. The grand jury finds that the individuals who traveled to or from Horn Island on the Triton, Palm Beach, and Tidline cooperated fully with this investigation, including offering marine GPS device. surveillance footage, cell phones, and statements to law enforcement officers and Mr. Wells' family during this investigation.

The grand jury finds that the position of the condition of time of discovery and location of Mr. Wells' body is consistent with drowning. So this is what's called corroborating evidence. We're not simply relying on their testimony. We're also relying on the fact that GPS devices, cell phones, surveillance footage all support their version of events. Meanwhile, there is no evidence anywhere that supports the conspiracy theory that Wells was murdered. A conspiracy theory, by the way, is not, this is not a victimless thing. You know, this is a, this is a, you are specifically, if not explicitly, you are at least implicitly accusing these other kids of murder. Their friend died and now they are being, and now they're being accused without evidence

and for no reason, you know, of murder, implicitly at least. And despite what's being said in public, Wells' family knows this. And that's why, according to page two of the grand jury report, the family's representatives, quote, advised that their investigation revealed no witnesses or evidence whom the legal team reasonably believes possess information germane to potential criminal activity that warrants referral to your office, which is the district attorney's office. Further, the family did not request that any additional document recording, photograph, digital media report, or other material in the legal team's possession be submitted. to the grand jury. Okay, so they don't have anything, in other words. There's no evidence anywhere that contradicts the obvious, plausible explanation. But because of the relentless propaganda from Ben Crump and the Democrats and the media, you know, a significant number of people are now convinced that there's a grand racist conspiracy of foot. It's gotten so deranged that the United States Cajun Navy, the volunteer search and rescue group that's searched for Wells, is now getting harassing phone calls from lunatics

who are convinced that they're, you know, part of the KKK. Listen. Just say you had something you want to tell us. Coward. Yeah. Yes, sir. I was just calling you back. I think I got disconnected.

Oh, he hung up again. Do you know what he said? Oh, what you had, Klansman? This dude here is. So you've got innocent volunteers who tried to rescue this kid, you know, doing the right thing, getting called Klansman. They went to extraordinary measures to find him, and now they're, this is what they get as a thank you. Which is what Democrats want.

They prefer to see some of these white people get slaughtered, actually. And to be clear, the primary reason they're attacking the Cajun Navy is that they went public and did not affirm all of the lunatic conspiracy theories. Watch. Those two guys went out to Horn Island. They went on the island. They canvassed around. They went and ran a grid with the boat, put the drone up, looking for any. signs of Nolan did not find anything by by late afternoon some weather was moving in

offshore so out of a abundance of caution they came back in and that's when we decided that we were going to put a plane up the next morning on 6th July there was a story that that Nolan might have tried to walk to the middle of the island was like a lagoon with ponds but we they went over there and they showed me pictures saying hey look there's a lot of thorny bush there's cactuses. If he was over here barefoot, he would have abandoned this idea pretty quickly. So we don't think that there's any reason to really search around here. I was told he had started talking to young lady and he wanted to hang back and keep talking to

her and that he would believe that he could get another ride. Now, some people have been criticized and say, no, you never leave your friend. Well, technically they didn't leave him. He requested to stay behind. And if you know anything about how, you know, these, these barrier islands are and how they use recreationally, you know, people get, people go out out there on one boat. They might come back on another boat. What we have to find out is after his friends left, who was no one in contact with, who did he believe he was supposed to get a ride

back with? Did, did that boat give him a ride? Did he get on any boat? How did he end up in the water? Did he wade into the water on his own? Did he get on a boat and fall off? That's what we have to find out. On those particular islands, you're not allowed to like camp out or be there after dark. And so the Rangers, as it gets to be sunset, they start running around looking for, you know, if there's still any boaters or people out there saying, hey, guys, it's time to go home. So I would not think that Nolan was just wandering around the island when it got dark. My instinct tells me that he got off the island, either tried to swim off or got off on a boat and somehow ended up in the water. Because of the Rangers' presence, I don't think it's likely that he just like spent

the night on the island or was there after dark. Now, these are people who did more than almost anyone to rescue Nolan Wells, and they're being demonized for it because the platform of the Democrat Party is psychopathic. So here's Representative Frederica Wilson from Florida pushing the same narrative. Quote, meet the parents of Nolan Wells today at our forum where we will honor them and other parents, other parents of murdered young boys. Our young black boys are being murdered and nobody seems to care. BLM activists are also staging events where the mother of Trayvon Martin met with the mother of Nolan Wells, apparently to try to draw some kind of comparison, you know, between these two people. Now, of course, Trayvon Martin was a thug who viciously attacked an innocent man and tried to beat his head into the pavement. Nolan Wells, on the other hand, was widely liked and respected. He seemed like a completely normal, well-adjusted person. but when you're running a racial siob, none of these distinctions matter.

All that matters is that a black person is dead, and Democrats think he can be a useful political tool in an election year. It's about as cynical and nihilistic as it gets. None of them, of course, care about Nolan Wells or black people in general. It's all a political game. And it's all part of a much larger strategy, which is always the case with high-profile BLM narratives like this. They're never about the actual incident itself.

The point is to shock and terrorize people and to completely. with a false racial narrative and then immediately pivot to advancing an anti-white agenda that's been in the works for a very long time. And we're seeing that today with this case. It's not a coincidence that Democrats are promoting fake lynchings. At the same moment, the United Nations is advancing a resolution to force white people to pay reparations. So take a look at this pathetic display from the UN. And most of these clips are from this week. And one by one, the leaders of various third world Hellholes, including Sierra Leone, Suriname, Ghana, took turns demanding reparations for slavery as part of a new resolution for racial equity or something. Watch.

For all must also embrace the unfinished cause of reparatory justice. In March, this Assembly adopted a resolution led by Ghana and supported by the African Union and Caribbean community, recognizing the trafficking and racialized charter enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity. Mr. President, the pursuit of restorative justice gained new momentum with the adoption of the resolution on slavery and transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Africans in this Hall in March of this year. This development is relevant for Suriname and equally important for the countries of the Caribbean region. The discussion is no longer about whether slavery and colonialism

have caused lasting consequences, negative consequences. We know we are living them. We increasingly must focus on how to overcome these effects and on the question of what form reparation should take to achieve that. This resolution is a pathway to healing and reparative justice. This resolution is a safeguard against forgetting. Now, what these people never talk about because it would destroy their narrative and prevent them from ever getting handouts again is the fact that almost everyone who ended up as a slave in the Americas was first enslaved by Africans. So who exactly would be getting these reparation?

The descendants of the Dahomey who literally sailed boats in the blood of their slaves? Are we supposed to enrich those people? At the expense of white people, the descendants of the men who risked their lives to end the institution of slavery? Explain to us, in plain English, if you can, exactly how that makes any sense whatsoever. This is from a recent editorial by a conservative politician in the UK named Daniel Hannan, who makes the point very well. He says, Quote, this has gone far enough. The country's coming after us for slavery reparations, mainly Caribbean states, but also some in Africa, are not just rude and ungrateful.

They are launching a hostile campaign against us, and we should respond accordingly. If Barbados pursues us through the courts for trillions of pounds, we should cancel our aid programs there. If Ghana wants to lead a third worldist posse against us in the UN, we should deny all visa applications from that country. We have a range of sanctions to deploy against unfriendly countries, ranging from targeted embargoes to travel bans. You should recognize that we are dealing with hostile states. To target Britain, which did more than any other nation on the planet, to stamp out what had previously been a universal institution, is not just bad manners. It's an act of bellicosity. Britain was not just early in declaring slavery illegal.

It then did something unique, pouring its blood and treasure into a campaign to extirpate the foul institution everywhere. Even when we were engaged in a life and death struggle with Napoleon, we were still diverting war. to hunt down the slavers. All of that is true. So yes, they want reparations from the descendants of the people who ended the institution that their ancestors

not just participated in, but pioneered. But maybe the worst part above and beyond all this is how these leeches claim that colonialism has only had negative effects on their countries. Actually, it's closer to the opposite. Okay, colonialism brought literacy and prosperity to the most

backwards, primitive places on the planet. The people hadn't even invented the wheel in many cases. And if you doubt that, all you have to do is take a look at how these countries were doing before the colonizers arrived and after they left. You know, it's not an accident that Zimbabwe and South Africa fell apart once the white people were expelled, nor is it an accident that the same trajectory played out in Uganda and India and Ghana, Suriname, Algeria, and many other countries. You know, this is a basic historical fact that you're not supposed to say out loud,

colonization was the best thing that could have happened, especially in Africa. By every objective measure, they were doing better under the leadership of colonizers than on their own. As it happens, there was one African nation that demonstrated this point better than any other. It was a country ruled by a depraved queen who was determined from the moment she seized power to expel as much white foreign influence as possible. And how did that turn out? Well, for the answer to that question in all of its very gruesome detail,

you should watch our new documentary we're releasing today on The Daily Warts. It's called The Real History of Colonization, Africa. It's an exhaustive look at what colonialism actually entailed and how the British Empire, which the Third World resents, was actually the best thing that ever happened to them. Watch. It was a land of total madness, depravity, chaos, horrors beyond your imagination,

until one nation, at Heaven's Command, decided to change everything. For more than two centuries, the sun never set on the British Empire. It ruled its subjects with benevolence and wisdom, spreading Christianity to savages, rescuing thousands of infants from total barbarism, patrolling the seas to end the slave trade, waging war in exotic despots and tyrants, building schools and hospitals, fighting disease and introducing civilization to a people who had not yet invented the wheel. They brought civilization that their subjects would have never built on their own. And doing so, they became pariahs, hated by the very same forces that hate you now.

When Europeans were there, they were blamed for Africa's problems. Now that they're gone, they still get blamed for Africa's problems. Why did some colonies end up rich and some poor? What was Africa like before Europeans arrived? Was greed their only motivation? That it simply revert to normalcy when they left? What really happened? This is the real history of Colonization, Africa. So the real history of colonization Africa is out right now for all access members of the DailyWire. It will be available for all other Daily Wire subscribers on Wednesday. It's a deeply researched, fascinating historical narrative that we spent a lot of time on.

Also learned a great deal in the process, which is one of the most rewarding parts of working on this series in general. And this particular story is obviously very relevant right now. We are witnessing once again an all-out effort to defame our ancestors and spark race riots based on total fabrications. which obviously is now the go-to-leftist strategy and has been for many years, especially during elections. The best response to this campaign of deception is to study what really happened. And if you do that, in all likelihood, you'll be radicalized. You'll realize the extent of the depravity that we're up against.

And if nothing else, you'll discover some truly disturbing details about what self-governance really looks like in a place like Africa. And you'll come away with an undying resolve to never let these people run our country into the ground in the same way they've utterly destroyed and desecrated their own lands to a degree that is unspeakable in polite company even to this day i'll do for the show today thanks for watching thanks for listening talk to you on monday of a great weekend godspeed every significant movement in history has started with protesting you're traitor uncle tom this is our generation civil rights i have no idea what the protest is about bingo given the current

climate. Should a figure as polarizing as Clay Saunders. You can be allowed on campus? Ah, can you hear me okay? Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman. This is a decision I cannot fight. Islam will conquer the West. Islamu'aikum. Are we paying attention? They've taken over the building. They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors. I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty. We cannot run and hide.

Muhammad is the messenger of God. There is no God but Allah. What do you say? We turn those S-O-Bs into a fine red mist. As we move, one man will cover while the other guys go. They call that leap-cross. Stretch them out and listen. You need a course in safe weapons handling.
