EPISODE DETAILS
The Biden administration is importing millions of third world immigrants to live here illegally, and at same time telling them that white people are the source of their problems. How’s that going to work out in the end? We asked Stephen Miller.

READ THE TRANSCRIPT
Tucker [00:00:00] Affirmative action and its new version, DEI, are of course, by definition, forms of anti-white racism. White men are at a structural disadvantage in getting jobs and getting contracts and getting into schools. There's kind of no pretending it's anything but what it seems to be, and most people know that. Few people understand just how corrosive this is to the country and to the idea of the country. So the arrangement that America has had with immigrants for over a hundred years has been come to our country because there is opportunity here. And implied in that is meritocracy. If you work hard, if you have ability, you can ascend the ladder. But affirmative action and now DEI invert that arrangement. New immigrants to this country are told immediately that the people who founded the country, white men, are the problem. They are evil. So not only does this inculcate racism in our immigrants, which is a terrifying prospect, but it also makes the workplace hellscape. A sort of corporate Jim Crow structure that degrades everyone, and that's inherently immoral. Arvind Krishna is a perfect example of why this is a bad idea. Kirshna is an immigrant to this country. He's clearly smart. He clearly works hard. In over 30 years, he's ascended to the top of IBM. He's now the CEO. But rather than promoting the ideas that made this country great, meritocracy, he has bought in completely, possibly because he has to, into our racial hierarchy, into our form of modern Jim Crow. So thanks to James O'Keefe, the journalist, we know what that looks like on the inside. Here is video that was leaked to O'Keefe of Krishna, the CEO of IBM, telling his employees to hire fewer white men or they will be punished. Their pay will be cut. Watch this.

Soundbite [00:01:49] I'm very clear about this. I expect that the executive levels, that is not just my directs, but all executives in the company, have to move forward by 1% on board underrepresented minorities. Let me say it. Asians in the U.S. are not an underrepresented minority in a tech company. However, others are. Ditto on gender diversity. So we take underrepresented and gender. You got to move both forward by a percentage. That leads to a plus on a bonus. By the way, if you lose, you lose part of your bonus.

Tucker [00:02:22] So how did an immigrant to this country who clearly has a lot going for him, probably arrived here thinking this was a meritocracy, wind up supporting racial fascism? It's a great question and one we should think deeply about as tens of millions of new immigrants pour across our border. So the other man you saw in that video works for a company called Red Hat. That's a subsidiary of IBM. On that very same call, he bragged that past employees who pushed back against corporate racism, against initiatives were fired from the company. Watch.

Soundbite [00:02:55] But the assertion there is no accountability around the DEI efforts at Red Hat is really not the full picture. And as Arvind very much pointed out, and I very much understand, I am accountable. I hold myself accountable. He holds me accountable, as does the board for all of IBM. But, I hold, we also hold the leadership at Red Hat accountable for that. I mean, I'll be very candid. Without an exception for privacy, I could name multiple leaders over the last year plus that we're held accountable to the point that they're no longer here at Red Hat because they weren't willing to live up to the standards that we set in this space.

Tucker [00:03:31] So in the public conversation, affirmative action, DEI, diversity, are described with the language of sensitivity and inclusion. We're just trying to bring everybody in. But in practice, and we now know this thanks to these videos and others like them, in practice, this is an even more vicious form and a much more widespread form of Jim Crow. And obviously it's incompatible with the existence of the United States of America. So what do we do about it? Well, of course, the Civil Rights Division, Justice Department, is doing nothing about it. They are affirmatively opposed to civil rights, but Stephen Miller is doing something about it, thank heaven. He's the founder of America First Legal and he joins us now. Stephen, thanks so much for coming on. So what, how would you describe what we just saw?

Miller [00:04:16] A fascinating, albeit chilling window into the reality of corporate America today. We're all familiar with diversity, equity and inclusion. We're broadly familiar with the idea that corporations, universities, as well as government agencies have established policies to promote or exclude people based solely on race or national origin. But to see it said so bluntly, so matter of factly, that you're going to be, that you're going to be punished, you're going to be denied your career. You're going to have your money, your livelihood, everything that you've built your entire life, taken away from you because you don't establish a specific racial quota system. Blatantly illegal, of course. Let's be very clear that all civil rights law makes no distinction when it comes to color. Hiring, contracting, promoting, advancing, or firing based on race is strictly unlawful. But also the way that they say it almost with a kind of glee, almost with the kind of satisfaction that we are doing this to innocent people. And we're happy about it and we're proud about it and we're bragging about it. It speaks to just how deep the rot is throughout corporate America. Much worse, I would say, than many of us even imagined. If you're having this conversation on a video call, just imagine the kinds of things people are saying when they don't believe that there's any possibility of being recorded at all.

Tucker [00:05:39] Yeah. And the effects are real. This destroys people's lives and there are many measures of that. One is the relative suicide rate of white men and black women. One is among the highest in the country, probably the highest, and the other is the lowest. And they're not what you think. They're the opposite of what you think. So this this kills people, of course. And whenever you tell large mobs that one group is evil and responsible for all your problems, ultimately you're going to get violence against that group. So this needs to be stopped. Nobody's doing anything about it.

Miller [00:06:07] The demonization. The demonization process has been underway, of course, for quite some time, and it has gotten radically worse recently. Let's take a step back, though, for a second. All societies fundamentally will have one of two possible systems of governance. They will either have an aristocracy or a meritocracy. All places that have ever existed everywhere have existed under one of these two systems. Now, some aristocracies are a little bit more benign, right? They might be aristocracies like we had in England based upon hereditary privileges and dukes and earls and barons. But they still had a system of natural rights and natural law and basic legal protections. Then you have the Soviet system of aristocracy, based on loyalty to and faith in the party and your willingness to hurt and punish people who aren't part of that system. What we have now is a merger of the Soviet style of hierarchy with a system of racial hierarchy. So it's completely soul crushing, spirit crushing. It is designed to deprive people of everything that makes them human. The notion that you have a hypothetical kid who, instead of playing every day after school, he went home and he studied, and when it was time to go to college, he spent all this time on his test preparation. He did everything he could do, but he didn't get into the school that he wanted to get into. He got into his sixth choice or seventh choice. But when he went there, he worked harder than everybody else. And he didn't go out and party. He didn't go out and drink. He did everything right every single day of his life. But it was time to graduate. He didn't get the job he was entitled to at the salary he was entitled to. But when he got to that company that he still, he stayed late and he put off all the things he wanted to do with his life. And he gave up so many years of his productive life, hoping that one day, maybe, just maybe, his dreams would be fulfilled. And then somebody came along and said, You are not the right race. You are a straight white male. You are not getting this job. And in fact, because you haven't promoted people based on this system, your life is over now. And then maybe that person can't afford to pay for his children anymore. Maybe that man gets a divorce. Maybe his whole life unravels. How many times does it happen in a year to thousands of people? The system is meant to crush spirits, to break people, and that is what it is doing. And that's why we at America First Legal are indeed fighting back. As far as I'm aware, we are the only nonprofit that has a full time helpline devoted just to being available to Americans in these situations who need help. The number is 1877 AFL 5454, 1877 AFL 5454. We are a nonprofit, a 501c3. That means that if we take your case, if you have a valid claim, you don't pay anything. It is covered by our charitable foundation because we are committed, committed to defeating this evil any way that can be.

Tucker [00:08:57] I can't think of many things more virtuous than what you're doing, but it's hard to believe it's enough. I mean, the society has to reject this before it's too late and people will get hurt. Just to be completely clear. We've seen this script in many other countries over many centuries. If you demonize a group and that group becomes the minority, that group is going to get hurt. So, and that group is being hurt already, as you pointed out. So how do you convince people that they don't have to be the victims of what is honestly systemic racism at the largest scale this country's ever seen, much larger than Jim Crow?

Tucker [00:12:11] I think that's exactly right. And finally, the intersection of two issues that you spent a lot of your life working on, immigration and institutional anti-white racism. We have the highest influx per capita of immigrants in the history of the country. There's no attempt to assimilate them whatsoever. There are immediately tens of millions of them are just going on public assistance where they, in some cases, will stay for the rest of their lives. Okay, that's bad. But if you're telling the same group of people that all of their frustrations and problems stem from the evil of whites, what does America look like in 30 years? I mean, isn't aren't you setting up a system that has to result in violence?

Miller [00:12:56] You're creating a toxic stew that will lead only to the most horrific outcomes imaginable. And this is really such a important point to make. We've talked a lot in the past about the idea that immigration is incompatible with an open welfare state. That's pretty obvious why that would be, of course. But what about combining mass migration with a DEI state? The idea that you're importing people and then telling them that a large portion of the resident population, and that and the group of people that comprise the founding generation, are evil and must be hurt and must be punished and excluded and discriminated against. That is an extraordinarily dangerous twin event that's happening right now that can only lead to terrible horrors. And you just said, just at a basic logic level to show you how insane the situation is. You could bring in an immigrant whose ancestors were part of the Spanish conquering of Latin America. So a person who, if you trace their lineage back, their ancestors conquered all of Latin America. Right. They were part of the Cortes conquering, and they could get affirmative action. But a poor white kid from the South whose ancestors never ran anything more than potato farmers, will be told that your test scores mean nothing here and your trash. That's the system that we're building in this country. And what it will do when combined with, as we see, partisan juries, partisan prosecutors, partisan judges, enforcement of hate speech codes, enforcement of mass censorship is going to lead to the criminalization of identity. In other words, specific identities, obviously straight white men being one of them. But not only that, Jews, Asians, Indians. Specific identities are going to be criminalized and saying things to defend the interests of oppressed Americans will be criminalized. And yes, it will lead to street violence. And so for all the lectures we get about rhetoric, about safety, if you call Americans Nazis, as the Biden campaign does repeatedly, well, what happened to the Nazis? They weren't justly killed, they were justly killed. So when you call good innocent people, decent and virtuous people Nazis, what signal are you sending? Could there be more dangerous rhetoric to use in this country yet as it is used every single day? So let's not be stupid. Let's not pretend we don't know that this is all leading somewhere quite terrifying.

Tucker [00:15:34] Well, I mean, you know, you don't want to be divisive, and I, for as angry as I am at certain conservative influencers you just mentioned, and not by name. Of course, I'm much angrier at the Biden administration, but I do just want to get back to that point really quick. Why do you think, as all of this happens, and every day where assaults with videos of people being murdered in the streets clearly on the basis of their race, clearly. Why don't they say anything about that?

Miller [00:16:02] Well, I can only speak from, I guess, personal experience here, which is a lot of people in my general age group and professional group. We came up at the same time and each of us at some point reached a certain level of notice of attention, a greater degree of financial security. And then you reach an inflection point in your career where you can then choose the path of stability and you can rationalize it yourself a million different ways. This will be a distraction. This this will cost me a platform. This will cost me donors, whatever it may be. But you reach a point where you can choose to be part of the system you were criticizing, or you can continue the reformation process. But now you've a lot more to lose. When you're 23, 24 and you're a young bachelor, you have, in a sense, very little to lose. You're just living in a studio apartment and you're, you know, you're eating a lot of ramen. But when you reach a point where you get that level, whatever it may be, of success, then you start to talk yourself into not jeopardizing it. That, that is that is the drug ultimately that really plagues the right. And it just isn't an issue on the left because of the revolutionary mindset. Now they take better care of their own and that's a whole longer conversation. Yeah, but the revolutionary mindset continues to demand a certain degree of self-sacrifice and a certain degree of devotion to the cause. Whereas when the right reaches a certain degree of success, not in every case, but in many cases, too many cases, it causes you to then choose to be part of the thing that you became. If not famous, you at least became noticed for criticizing.

Tucker [00:17:37] Yeah, it's just hard to... And I think everything you said is absolutely true. And I've seen it, of course, in my own life so many times. But to sit back as you're in a in a crisis like this, an inflection point like this, as your country is destroyed and your job is to comment on what's happening in the country. It's it it is I don't know. It's somewhere below cowardice, I would say maybe betrayal.

Miller [00:17:54] And where this all ends. You know, we talked, of course, about violence and hate crimes and discrimination. But just in a societal level, what will work in the future? What will work in the future when FAA and commercial aviation and hospital systems and medical system, and educational systems and engineering schools and all of the hard sciences, all of the things that make things run and get places on time that make locomotion happen. All of the things that stitch a society together. What will happen when all those industries hire and promote solely based on either membership in a specific group or fidelity to a specific hateful ideology? Your willingness to preach a specific lie. How will things work in the future? Will there be a lot of blackouts, will there be a lot of brownouts? Will there be a lot of planes falling out of the sky? Will it be a lot of botched surgeries, an increase of death rates in emergency rooms? I mean, you can just begin to imagine what will happen when at every level of society you stop incentivizing the best, you stop incentivizing the hardest work and the finest outcomes. To my earlier point, if you destroy American meritocracy, what takes its place will be fearsome indeed.

Tucker [00:19:03] Yeah, well, we don't need to guess because it happened in South Africa. It's been happening for 30 years. Richest country on the continent now, parts of it in rubble. So, yeah, in fact, someone should, some big donors to sponsor field trips to South Africa, just so we can get a glimpse of what will happen if we don't pull back. I appreciate your coming on today, Stephen, And for all the work that you do for free on this topic. So thank you very much.

Miller [00:19:29] Thank you, Tucker.
