Safe boston. And we have with us a variety of issues and do a lot of Educational Forums like this to talk but immigration. Tonight we are talking of i want to welcome the people assembled and welcome everybody who may have be watching live on the live stream and the people who are watching on cspan booktv, and i want to let you know that despite the covid regulations in boston, the cradle of lisch and were in lockdown all the time but what were doing is skirting the law and getting together for this wonderful event, and were going to talk about a very important book in our minds, more than 50 of it deals with immigration, legal and i will legal, and i would like everybody to welcome mr. Harlan chill mr. Ryan girdusky. [applause] apparently im going to be doing a marco rubio imitation all night so bear with me. Its very hot here in boston, and lets start, get right to it. Harlan is a political consultant. An adviser to the Trump Reelection Campaign we have seen him on cnn, msnbc, and alsa political consul tan. A writer for the washington examiner, for the american sift conservative and this is their first book and for the first book, let me get another round of applause. [applause] just get right to the book. In prep for their interview i spoke with steve bannon this afternoon, the guru of populism, and he said this is a great and essential primer on how we got here with a global view on the populist movement and a deep dive and if you can believe it, steve bannon said he would read this on the beach. Ann coulter, who wrote on the back, she called its critically important book, devoid of historics and condescension. Jd vance called it intelligent and Michelle Walker says buy this book. And whats a kid from queens and a young man from South Carolina doing writing about global populism, brexit, maga, the yellow vest . Ill just start by saying that i actually started my career in politic as a democrat, and i made the transition to the Republican Party because i found i fundamentally misunderstood what the Democratic Party stood for. Thought it was the working peoples party, party that would fight for Small Business owners. Thought it was a party that would fight to improve the wages and working conditions of worker around the country. Nothing could be further from the truth. In 2016 was a total complete revolt against the corporate interests that tried to drive down wages, whether its through globalizeddation or ilLegal Immigration, and i traveled all over the country, ohio, pennsylvania, in the midwest, and i would see these gutted towns, and i say this doesnt make sense. Michigan is fundamentally wrong, and elites in both parties, democratics and republicans, said for decade as people cried for people to listen, in washington. At least to listen. And theres communities already shattered by opioid and immigration and basically shut up, and learn how to cope. [inaudible] and i reject that wholesale and thats how i came to become a trump republican. On television actually. I am from a very middle class working im from a middle class, blue collar communicate in community in queen and i didnt have a lot of positions in politics. Did tell my parents when i was eight to vote for ross perot. And my when i was in high school i was a big protester against the iraq war. Never made sense to me and still doesnt make sense. Saw the radical transformation of communities because of Mass Immigration and that didnt make sense and that was my only entrance into politics. Start working on campaigns when i was 18 and at 27 a lo lot 0 people who write about this have never been on a campaign trail. So let in the i started write North Washington examiner and bill was my coworker. And i was the only person conservative in the institution who said trump would be the nominee and would win and i held to my guns and i remember it was radio show and one radio show in idaho, i was like why do you heat the country so much and supporting trump . I said seriously . But i wrote an article a year ago in april of 2019, about the rise of National Populism. I hear but study other countries and other movements and i noticed what was happening roped the world and i said this is not just here. And everything youre being told kind of a lie. This is just kind of frozen into one thing. So, i wrote an article and then i said this can be a book, me and harlan i said will you do this project with me . And he said yes, and now we have the book. Mobility, education, corruption, feature prominently in the early chapters. The book is nine chapter, its pretty readable, possible for people to read, this not a become your dont have to good to harvard to understand the book. The main point is theres National Populism occurring on all Six Continents theres human beings on and we break into like a conversation of when was the first real nationalist populist leader elected a non government and that was 1998. That was almost 20 years before donald trump bump the reaction to trump and the reaction to brexit is so how did this happen. They couldnt understand what was going on. And they werent paying attention to the signs and a big put a of philosophy is politics does not exist in a bubble. So for instance, terrorism in the book, the 2001 World Trade Center bombings that happened in new york city and washington, affected the election of den mark and elisted a national populist government in denmark and the it was a muslim ban the first thing they did. Everything we see in our politics is cyclical. One of the biggest governments to work on cracking down on ilLegal Immigration, angola. Both african countries and hey the gdp of the size of our Homeland Security but theyre more effective controlling immigration. Why . Its a matter of political will power. Do you want to do this, not can you do this. So we have the a list of things that movements kind of overlap and they maybe not all nine or ten but a majority of the beliefs overlap globally. One of the biggest takeways from this book that we have talked about so far is the culture and the cultural war we have lost, and it has i almost wish that we had written this book three months from now because the shock wave that has happened the last few months, whether it was the coronavirus or rise of the sweep every metropolitan area in the country thats run by a democrat. Democrat states have a problem and i wish we could have i think theres tectonic shift in the country. What i think democrats are trying to do is theyre trying to leverage the advantage they have in education, trying to leverage the advantage they have in the cultural war, and controlling hollywood and the news media, and they think that this is going to be an inflection point. This their trump moment, the rise on what is hang 0 on the street. One thing in the book is the media is obsessed with the you look at the phrase, there arent enough equal color hundreds of millions of search results. Now, you drill down and look at the media, and you ask yourself, does the media really represent the does hollywood represent, dot the newsrooms really present the native American People . You reverenced earlier neither of us have a College Degree but 92 of reported newsrooms in country have College Degrees. Most americans dont. The media is when you say the media doesnt represent america, the media now all [inaudible] the media is far too white and too liberal and they live in too many different democratic cities and they have a singular narrative, and theres no breaking that narrative. 72 of the [inaudible] that means that these people dont even know a trump voter. They really dont. No wonder they were surprised this happened. They dont know a gun owner. Anytime theres shooting happen and they talk about guns theyve never shot a gun before. [inaudible] the chain saw next to the ak47. The morals the people are living in they dont know go to washington and go even in conservative try to find a church going person who owns a gun and a truck. Its impossible. 7 of the i dont know if thats true. [inaudible] you bring up the media, and theres an awful lot of interplay between government and media. We saw nbc work this week to try to deplatform a major conservative libertarian website, the federalist, and we saw john bolton, who left the Trump Administration who launched this book and launched all kinds of attacks against the president , the difference between the elites and the press and move back and forth very easily between the press and government. I think that heres the thing with the media and ive work in media. Mostpedia people in general are good people. The local beat reporter is making 50,000 a year trying to get by because he loves the news. When you good to major outlooks its not a lot of money for most reporters so how you make a lot of money, you become a brand. Rachel mad dao is a branched Anderson Cooper is a bran. You know what youre being from them. Theres no incentive to do news because theyre selling you their gimmick. Its like nike or oreo cookies, the same thing every time, and it is worth it to become a brand because if you have a brand you can get a book deal and get a television show, a television contract, sit there and give speeches for a lot of money. [inaudible] become a hack like us. So if you have this being a great reporters possible and there are few really good ones. None are coming to mind right now. Jennifer jacob from bloomberg is a fact louse reporter, not biased and i really dont know her politics and he enjoy reading her because i dont know her politic. Theyre fewer than anyone else and the problem with social media makes it all the more visible how openly political they and are. You see punished for saying things. Now youre getting career advances. Here what a guy, ben jacobs tweeted having punched a young conservative in the face at cpac and then moved to another paper and tweeted before the election a tweet from donald trump and we are going to bring justice the way it used to be and they thought it was the klan. And trump said at the ballot box. And he left at the ballot box. And its its not sexy [inaudible] theres nothing wrong with screwing up and sit sending out a tweet and apologizing. You saw the Covington School buie school boys. Tried to 16yearolds over the fact they [inaudible] they went wild. What happened with demon dee monetizing. [inaudible] everybody was willing to fringe and mainstream conservatives, theyre monetizing got the class war, thrown of youtube and facebook and twitter. Theyre crazy. And then it happened to breitbart and making it hard for breitbart to make money on their traffic. Now were seeing a totally monetization from google of the federalist and zero hedge. What is next . The daily caller, the washington examiner, fox news. They started on the fringes and working to the middle. And now you cant even wear a tshirt for a conservative news channel without having your career threatened, without having people then the lives of your family. Its completely unhinged. Theyre going after our pocketbacks whether that means if youre a supporter of conservative media by trying to shame you into the shadows, shame you for supporting that network, or if youre the network, youll make it impossible to earn a living. On top of that the social Media Networks make it impossible for us to get our message out. When we were going to promote the book, we were looking at facebook ads to buy the book. They were rejected with zero explanation. Zero. I think that because theyre d [inaudible] other key words they said we dont [inaudible] we bring out i mentioned this yesterday on tucker carlson, that were having a conversation right now but antirace racist movement. What words are triggering and allowed the truth going on in our country, and we have a statistic in the book is that around 2007 certain words like whiteness, like racist, like white privilege, social justice, all were terminology exploded in the average content in most major news outlets and without even seeing it we were being inundated with conversation that we werent really having and werent reflected in the actual truth of what was going on in our country and i think that is really something elses very stunninges people who took over the University System and Education System with terminology. When i was in college, the trigger for the first time i was like, youre joking, thats not a real thing. This is one loony tune. Never going to become widespread but they now from the college and media and they took over the entire institution and thats what were seeing now come through. We certainly hold that in such Great College town of boston. [inaudible] italy be a sieged, ship after ship of refugees, landing on beaches. Calling in the coast guard, and we have over 7,000 indians a year that are on our water trying to cross mexico. They remind mexicans in Central Americans are immigrants. Illegal, my is immigration is half of the book. Talk about sanctuary cities and neighborhoods that have been plagued by fentanyl, children have been caught up in addiction, and crimes, and it really i think is a lot of people around here certainly know the pain of ilLegal Immigration because of the drug crisis. One thief worth states in the un one of the worst states in the country. Talk about how immigration and crime have bon together. Okay so the book brings up immigration into four sectioned. One ill is ilLegal Immigration and the others are Legal Immigration, talking about crime, the economy, and culture. The three way we break down Legal Immigration. When it comes to the situation in europe and what we dont live in a bubble so when the United States and several of our western allies decided to overthrow Moammar Gadhafi in libya and there was a mastiff wave of ilLegal Immigration into europe. One thing affects the. Other the swift peoples part in switzerland, been in government in 1999, became the lead party in switzerland because we started kosovo refugees caused a backlash. In the out you have a situation when it comes to crime the problem with when it comes to immigration we have very, very, very little data. In a nation like denmark someone is a in the United States we very, very hard to understand. Noncitizens are unpresented in certain crimes like in murder but are overrepresented in many, many crimes like Identity Theft and drug crimes. Just legalize drugs. Being a libertarian and get drugged out. I think the problem is really that when it comes to ilLegal Immigration is that 1986 Ronald Reagan and then was supposed to stop. Supposed to have an answer, and we the institutions fought against it. One Big Government which said, this works in our favor, these people should and will become democrats. It will be good andll have sympathetic stories and crying when thin depored and he republicans this is good for big agriculture and big agriculture fed the monster and in 1996 or 97 barbara jordan, democratic congresswoman, black woman from texas, created a commission how to create prosperity in the black community and said reduce ilLegal Immigration and bill clinton said okay ill do it and the person who stopped it were the republicans. Newt gingrich and paul ryans mentor. Jeff kemp. The people who stopped and had they done that, trump would have probably never been president because he would have reduced immigration to 200,000 a year instate oft 1. 2 million and the mass effect of immigration on our Cultural Landscape and crime would diminish. IlLegal Immigration and crime is especially bad in communities like in los angeles, example, ethnic conflict between gangs. Black and latino gangs. The Los Angeles Times does cover very well but besides that doesnt get any broad and National News and im sure you know so many stories like that go completely unwatched and no one ever hears from them and theyre victims of crime. Watching jimmy shaw who was a young africanamerican man who was up and coming football star, great academic, and he was murdered in the neighborhood where he grew up in his mother was serving our country in iraq and he wag murdered by an illegal alien who get out of jail that day. Multiple arrests for gun charges and was his dad had called his mom to tell him her son was murdered in a middle class black American Family in los angeles county. Did al sharpton come to riecks snow. Did black lives matter come the rakes . No one came there was absolute silence by every other community. Feeling toward the biased is the only country to do it and they cant sit down and break down those narratives. We have Unemployment Rate hovering between 13 and 16 percent. The Trump Administration is doing what they can. We have 18. 2 million, 4. 3 Million Immigrants out of work 916,000 work visas still being issued in the city of boston. We had 58,000 opt students students who have special visas come to school often and they get a tax break if you hire them afterwards they spent all this time putting money into a plan among those tax incentives for businesses to hire immigrants over your son or daughter. Can you talk about ab i want to ask this question abi used to do
