RadixJournal - Catching Up With David Duke

00:00:00.300 David Duke, welcome to the show. How are you?

00:00:03.480 I'm fine. I'm just a little bit ragged. I've been campaigning the last few days,

00:00:08.260 and we've been under a lot of very powerful attacks, technical attacks.

00:00:15.140 My campaign website went down, an international attack that was so strong,

00:00:19.960 it even took down the big commercial server that we were using.

00:00:23.340 I've been using it for 12 years that also does major airlines.

00:00:27.040 There are definitely some powerful people who are very afraid I'm going to win this election,

00:00:33.640 go to the Senate, and really change the whole narrative and the whole discussion about politics in America.

00:00:39.120 Yeah, well, there's some collateral damage.

00:00:40.960 They were not allowing me to book my flight this weekend, that's why.

00:00:44.460 Okay, well, you can blame me. I guess you can blame me and my candidacy for that.

00:00:48.380 Well, we blame you for everything, so might as well blame you for this, too.

00:00:52.080 Really, you are afraid of the possibilities of this election here in Louisiana.

00:00:55.980 Yeah, absolutely. I want to definitely talk about your election.

00:00:59.740 You're running for Louisiana Senate, which David Vitter has recently left.

00:01:04.140 But before that, I want to get your thoughts on the RNC and DNC and just this moment where we are.

00:01:13.520 And I'll just throw this out there to get you started.

00:01:16.560 There seem to be revolts in both parties, and one of them is top-down, and the other seems to be bottom-up.

00:01:24.080 What we're seeing this week is a lot of genuine leftists, who I think are very genuine.

00:01:30.080 They might even agree with us on a few issues.

00:01:32.460 Genuine leftists who see Hillary for what she is, and that is a banker and globalist shill. 0.97

00:01:38.640 And I think there's another revolt going on in the GOP, and this one is top-down.

00:01:44.360 You could say it's kind of a coup where Donald Trump is forcing the GOP against the wishes of the establishment,

00:01:52.220 and I'll be honest, actually against the wishes of some grassroots Ted Cruz Tea Party types, to be a nationalist party.

00:02:01.120 So I think we're in this point where so many things are happening.

00:02:05.020 What's your take on all this?

00:02:08.220 Well, my take is that we are in the midst truly in a political revolution,

00:02:13.320 and it's been brought on by the activism of people like yourself, myself, for years,

00:02:18.300 and it's also been brought on by a man who had celebrity status, Donald Trump,

00:02:24.100 who joined this race and began talking about the issues that we've championed,

00:02:28.520 the fact that immigration will literally destroy our country and that we have to even using language such as we've got to take our country back. 1.00

00:02:36.220 I mean, that's something that I've been saying for the last four decades of my life.

00:02:41.400 And so it's really an amazing phenomenon that's happening, and it's also rekindled a lot of interest in me here in the state of Louisiana

00:02:51.240 because everybody's aware that most of the major issues of the Trump campaign, such as America First, that was one of my campaign issues.

00:03:00.900 Everybody that knows anything about me knows that.

00:03:03.320 In my history, my record against the Iraq War and these insane wars in the Middle East that have actually led to the rise of ISIS 0.53

00:03:12.900 and hurt our country dramatically, caused the damage of hundreds of thousands of young Americans in this war,

00:03:19.340 trillions of dollars expended, it's really rekindling that.

00:03:24.100 And people now are really looking for candidates that really express the core issues maybe even more openly, more explicitly than Donald Trump does.

00:03:38.080 So there's a real sea change going on, and I'm feeling that right now in this race. 0.99

00:03:43.780 The support is absolutely more intense, more widespread than I expected even in this race.

00:03:51.120 I thought we were going to get support, but I've never really kind of felt as much support starting out a race like this as I'm feeling now. 1.00

00:04:00.280 And you remember I came in with a three-point switch, a three-point voter switch would have sent me to the United States Senate in 1990,

00:04:09.060 and the truth is the only way they kept me out of that Senate race was by having the Republican official nominee,

00:04:16.100 Ben Baggert, of the caucus of the party, drop out at the last Senate and cause hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots to go, you know, to be destroyed.

00:04:26.940 And those votes were kept for me, which they would have voted for me, obviously, against a liberal Democrat, a guy with a record like Teddy Kennedy.

00:04:34.620 And so it was really political tricks and insider tricks that even caused me not to go to the Senate.

00:04:39.060 And so people in Louisiana, they know me well since that time.

00:04:44.320 You know, I served in the House of Representatives from 89 to 93.

00:04:48.080 I got – I became actually 96 to 2000.

00:04:52.820 I served as the chairman of the Republican Party in the largest Republican parish, and we have parishes instead of counties in Louisiana.

00:05:01.580 And I was elected at large at the ballot box in the presidential election in 96, where they voted for me at large to the Republican committee.

00:05:11.340 And then 14 other elected Republican officials, executive committee members who were elected to the ballot box as well,

00:05:19.640 then turned around and unanimously chose me to be their chairman.

00:05:22.620 I mean, that's totally outside the narrative of the way the press and the media and the political insiders construct what they call David Duke.

00:05:35.800 It's very, very different when you have 14 other elected Republicans voting me unanimously who know me the best, who know me very well.

00:05:43.860 They wanted me to be their chairman, and I was the chairman.

00:05:46.160 I served until 2000 there.

00:05:47.380 Yeah, I think your whole career and the trajectory of it is fascinating.

00:05:53.960 I'm 38 years old, so I actually remember your runs when I was in middle school.

00:05:59.360 I was too young to vote.

00:06:01.480 But I remember them not only, you know, having intense support in Louisiana, but really getting under people's skin

00:06:09.860 and changing the way they think all around the country and possibly even around the world.

00:06:13.860 It was something that you had to talk about.

00:06:15.460 Whereas I don't think anyone would have talked about the, you know, Louisiana gubernatorial race otherwise.

00:06:21.380 It's because you were clearly doing something different and you were shocking the system.

00:06:27.380 Why, could you talk a little bit about what you're going through right now?

00:06:32.360 I mean, why did you decide to get in the race right now?

00:06:36.440 I mean, is it because of Trump?

00:06:38.020 Is it just, is it because of just, you know, the end of the Obama administration and all this angst about the future?

00:06:44.500 Um, and, uh, why, why did you think this is the right time to do it?

00:06:48.280 And, and talk a little bit about what it would take to become the senator.

00:06:52.580 Uh, you're, you're, you're taking over a seat that's been vacated by David Vitter.

00:06:56.660 So it, it really is up for grabs and there, there are a ton of people running.

00:07:01.000 So talk a little bit about those two things.

00:07:03.100 Why now?

00:07:04.100 Why this moment?

00:07:04.820 And, and what it would take to become a senator?

00:07:07.260 Well, I think it's a, a lot of factors there you're talking about.

00:07:12.340 I mean, it's not just one factor.

00:07:14.300 Um, I think we've got to remember that, uh, that Donald Trump did not come out of a vacuum.

00:07:20.200 Right.

00:07:20.380 Um, the fact is that the ground that's been laid by people like myself over these decades

00:07:25.880 is very, very important to what's happening right now.

00:07:29.280 You know, for literally since the time I was 18 years old, uh, 19 years old at LSU, I've

00:07:37.040 been speaking publicly about the threat of massive immigration to this country.

00:07:40.920 The fact that European Americans, the founding people of this nation, the men and women whose

00:07:47.080 forefathers created this country, our constitution, our rights, our liberties, our values, and who

00:07:54.580 sustain those things, who vote to preserve those liberties, that we are being purposefully

00:08:01.480 ethnically cleansed in our own country by immigration policies that were designed to 0.87

00:08:09.620 literally replace our population, this country, so they could usher in, you know, this leftist

00:08:15.660 projection.

00:08:16.700 And maybe simply because of a lot of hatred against our heritage and our values that we

00:08:21.800 see prominent all over the Western world by the globalist media and the international

00:08:27.260 banking and, and political establishment of the planet.

00:08:32.160 Uh, that's, so what happened was that I think that people have, when, when Donald Trump came

00:08:40.100 in the scene, he had a celebrity status and he started talking about some of the issues that

00:08:46.520 we've been talking about for years.

00:08:47.740 There's this massive illegal immigration, uh, the trade policies that are betraying both

00:08:52.880 American working people and American businesses that want to stay home, that, that don't want 0.99

00:08:58.240 to compete unfairly with products and businesses that are overseas.

00:09:01.820 Uh, when he started talking about, um, these insane wars overseas and, uh, discussing the

00:09:09.840 insanity of the Iraq war and George Bush's policies, when he started talking about, uh, he's even

00:09:16.520 said that we should audit the fed talking about the federal reserve bank.

00:09:19.840 He, he's also made some direct assaults against Goldman Sachs.

00:09:25.020 Um, yeah.

00:09:26.220 So I think that when Trump came along and he also spoken away, even though he didn't speak

00:09:32.620 always in the way that's that endearing to people, he, he spoke in many ways, kind of

00:09:36.300 like a bully and kind of self aggrandizing.

00:09:38.860 And, uh, but the fact that he wasn't politically correct and he didn't apologize, uh, also has

00:09:46.240 given people a lot of encouragement and the fact that the media has attacked him full bore,

00:09:52.420 they've accused him of every character violation.

00:09:54.740 That's what the left does.

00:09:55.660 That's what the media does. 0.96

00:09:57.420 Uh, they can't, they can't argue with their ideas and not only stretch and use hyperbole to

00:10:02.800 make our ideas seem differently than they are, but different than they are, but they literally

00:10:08.740 always attack your character, no matter what your character is.

00:10:11.240 They always something they can find, something they can say, something they can bring out

00:10:14.900 of proportion.

00:10:15.660 And they've done that to Donald Trump, but the people have to have enough of it.

00:10:21.000 And they, and so it's also been helpful to people like myself because people see what's

00:10:27.980 going on in terms of me and what's has gone on with terms of me the same way they see

00:10:31.960 what's happened to Donald Trump.

00:10:34.260 Um, so that's all, that's all positive.

00:10:36.980 Uh, but we're not riding on his coattails and in some ways he's ridden on our coattails

00:10:41.880 in a real sense.

00:10:42.540 I was, I did a patrol of the Mexican American border to call attention to it back in 1976,

00:10:49.480 which got tremendous publicity.

00:10:52.220 We're warning the country of the illegal alien problem, how it's going to increase crime, 1.00

00:10:56.640 hurt our economy, hurt our culture, basically threaten, uh, the heritage, the values, the

00:11:03.300 culture, the liberties of our people.

00:11:05.680 So, uh, basically Donald Trump has capitalized on, which I'm thankful for a lot of the issues

00:11:11.560 that we've talked about for a long, long time.

00:11:14.620 Absolutely.

00:11:15.140 Uh, so what is it going to take to win?

00:11:18.240 What, what is, talk just about the basics of, of getting elected.

00:11:22.820 There are a number of people who have thrown their, their hat into the ring.

00:11:26.920 What, what is, what's, what, how is this going to play out?

00:11:29.440 Well, I think, uh, even, even the left now is starting to admit the fact that I've got

00:11:35.580 a hell of a good chance to win this thing and you can't win without getting into the runoff.

00:11:40.980 That's the first task.

00:11:42.400 But in a very crowded field of, uh, 24 candidates, uh, obviously that increases the opportunity.

00:11:49.880 And that's one reason why an open seat is much better for a, an insurgent candidate than

00:11:57.420 an incumbency.

00:11:58.860 Uh, there's a lot of power in incumbency.

00:12:00.900 Incumbents are able to do favors for people during their terms.

00:12:04.980 They're able to, they've already got a lot of very well-funded people.

00:12:09.400 And so in a race like this, you have a lot of candidates and, and you have a real opportunity

00:12:14.860 for a candidate to stand out different than the rest.

00:12:17.380 The same thing happened in district 81 when I won, uh, election to the house of representatives

00:12:22.620 in Louisiana.

00:12:23.880 Uh, you had a lot of candidates there.

00:12:25.540 They all outspent me, uh, they all had the support of the political establishment or some

00:12:30.300 of them did.

00:12:31.600 And, uh, I, I came in the first primary at 33% and the other guys, the next closest to

00:12:37.860 me was 20%.

00:12:38.620 We finally run that in the runoff.

00:12:40.420 And of course that was like a shot heard around the world.

00:12:42.680 Yeah.

00:12:43.420 And, uh, so we have a good chance to get into the runoff.

00:12:47.160 And the difference is this.

00:12:49.020 Now people often ask me, well, why state race rather than the congressional race?

00:12:52.480 Uh, and there's a lot of reasons for that.

00:12:55.320 Uh, one is a, a state race, uh, enables you to reach more people without as much concentration

00:13:06.520 by the enemy.

00:13:07.300 In a small district, they can just pour the money in.

00:13:09.880 Uh, they can just go in there and just unbelievable.

00:13:13.220 Plus if you're running against an incumbent, uh, if they're serving the people for 10 years,

00:13:18.260 helping people with their social security benefits or their tax problems or with some

00:13:23.060 government issue, um, they're developing a, a support group that goes beyond the, their

00:13:30.080 political positions.

00:13:31.420 So on the statewide level as well, uh, then your open ideas, your ideas like the Donald Trump

00:13:38.800 ideas, uh, that he had the same kind of impact, uh, you can talk more about ideas.

00:13:45.120 Secondly, what's happening today is very, very different than the 1990.

00:13:49.340 I've got a much better chance.

00:13:50.640 The demographics are a little bit worse than they were then, but they're not much worse.

00:13:55.500 They're talking about a couple of points difference in terms of the black bloc vote and the non-white

00:13:59.920 vote.

00:14:00.240 The difference though, in this race is the fact that the European Americans have been

00:14:05.980 more polarized, uh, to vote for Republican candidates.

00:14:10.440 So they're voting more and higher percentages than ever before.

00:14:14.240 Whereas many Republicans and many Democrats, many Democrat, many people in the state voted

00:14:19.320 Democrat.

00:14:20.300 They don't do that now.

00:14:22.020 They're going to vote for the leading Republican, whoever is against the leading Democrat.

00:14:26.400 And in the last couple of races for the Senate, we had overwhelming, I mean, just massive Republican

00:14:31.340 victories.

00:14:32.780 So the opportunity for me to get a higher percentage of both Republican and Democratic votes this

00:14:38.800 time around than last time is much greater.

00:14:42.040 And that's what makes the difference.

00:14:43.220 Five more percent of the, of the white vote in Louisiana would have taken me into the Senate. 0.82

00:14:48.760 In fact, maybe even less than that.

00:14:51.340 Uh, and we can do that today.

00:14:53.020 Secondly, it doesn't, to raise money, we got to have, you got to have money to run.

00:14:58.300 And I raised a couple million dollars, but the way I raised money was a lot of mailings

00:15:02.860 and things like that, which costs a lot of money.

00:15:04.480 So when you raise 2 million and it costs you kind of a million and a half to raise 2 million,

00:15:10.140 uh, it's less impact.

00:15:12.260 The opposition didn't have that problem because they could go directly to the fat cats and they

00:15:17.520 get on their phone banks and here's 5,000 or 5,000.

00:15:20.640 And they are in the state of Louisiana for governor, they could get 30, 40, $50,000 from

00:15:24.480 some company.

00:15:26.140 Um, they have the networks to do that through these corporations.

00:15:29.700 So when they raise 2 million or 3 million, in fact, they raised 10, 20, 30 million with

00:15:35.520 the packs against me.

00:15:37.160 Uh, they could all go into commercials and all go into groundwork and infrastructure and

00:15:42.080 paying people to work the phones and paying people to do all the, all the work and the

00:15:46.480 focus groups and all the rest of it.

00:15:47.860 Uh, today we have a different opportunity, uh, in my, in my Twitter account.

00:15:54.700 And by the way, you can find my Twitter.

00:15:56.140 It's Dr. David Duke, uh, at Dr. David Duke.

00:15:59.320 It's very easy to find.

00:16:00.300 I urge all your listeners to go to Twitter and, and join the discussion there.

00:16:05.260 Uh, if you're not on Twitter yet, folks, and if you're older folks get on Twitter, get

00:16:09.620 on Facebook.

00:16:10.500 This is the future.

00:16:11.720 The young people are coming at me and for me in great numbers.

00:16:15.320 You need to join the discussion in Twitter.

00:16:18.180 In just the last seven days, I've had over 4 million responses, 4 million impressions.

00:16:25.140 Um, we were in fact, uh, five days ago, you're a number three trending in the entire world

00:16:31.840 on Twitter.

00:16:32.400 Twitter has 1.7 million people involved in it.

00:16:36.160 We were number three in the world.

00:16:38.160 Billion, right?

00:16:38.780 So, yeah, right.

00:16:40.380 And 1.7 billion and we were number three trending in the world, in the world.

00:16:45.500 Did they, uh, they shut down that hashtag pretty quickly, I would suspect.

00:16:48.920 Yeah, they did.

00:16:49.740 They did.

00:16:50.200 But, uh, but you know, that's, it's, it's the way it is.

00:16:53.380 We have an opportunity in Facebook.

00:16:54.700 We're, we're getting between a four or 500,000 a week and a million and a half or more.

00:17:00.960 Uh, they shut down my website, but we still have our, you know, our, our social media going.

00:17:06.640 And so we're not missing a step.

00:17:09.100 So we have more opportunity to reach people with our message through our websites and through

00:17:13.540 the rest and hear our message than we had way back in those days.

00:17:17.960 And that's, that's the opportunity.

00:17:19.900 And, and when people get to hear my message, they vote for my message and they vote for me.

00:17:25.100 That's just what we've seen.

00:17:26.600 And that's the opportunity we have.

00:17:28.820 Yeah.

00:17:28.940 And you have a huge advantage in that you have name recognition and it really is a kind of

00:17:33.500 celebrity.

00:17:34.120 Your celebrity granted is because the mainstream media has turned you into a kind of bogeyman

00:17:39.840 where you're, you're behind everything.

00:17:42.660 You're, you're there.

00:17:44.100 It's a, almost a parody of what they say antisemitism is actually, where they, uh, they fix

00:17:50.340 Well, you know, with all those attacks, and that's the interesting thing here in Louisiana,

00:17:53.380 with all those attacks and two major elections, over 60% of the European American voters voted

00:18:00.220 for me to be their United States Senator and to be their governor.

00:18:04.080 Uh, that's pretty amazing.

00:18:06.260 So yeah, there's, it is true that people love me or hate me, but among our constituency, among,

00:18:12.600 you know, the European American voter, a lot more people love me.

00:18:16.800 Yeah.

00:18:17.240 And they know who you are.

00:18:18.760 And that's powerful because you're, you're over that first hump.

00:18:21.240 Um, real quick, when is the first election and when is the runoff election in Louisiana?

00:18:26.800 Well, I think it's a good thing.

00:18:29.040 The first, um, the first election for the United States Senate is going to be on election day

00:18:35.920 for president.

00:18:36.600 Okay.

00:18:37.740 And, and the media, um, you know, trying to attack Trump a little bit, but that hasn't

00:18:43.600 worked by the way at all.

00:18:45.060 In fact, when they really came out with the big attacks on Trump saying he didn't denounce

00:18:49.120 me and he wouldn't denounce me when he was on Jake Tapper and all that stuff, what they've

00:18:54.140 done is they've, you know, driven a very close psychological association between myself and

00:18:59.920 Trump.

00:19:00.180 And in some ways it's correct, some way it's not.

00:19:02.780 I mean, I'm definitely far more, uh, outspoken on a lot of these issues than Donald Trump is.

00:19:08.440 Uh, but that's, but it's a psychological association.

00:19:12.880 I mean, uh, we have my campaign manager and, uh, and his wife are now working on a, a very,

00:19:19.440 uh, statistical analysis of the election and the voters and that they, they're estimating

00:19:26.360 now the likelihood of Trump voters to, to pull my lever too is really powerful, probably

00:19:31.900 70, 80% at least.

00:19:33.460 That's great.

00:19:34.300 Uh, so I think there is a kind of like, there's a, be careful what you wish for element to

00:19:39.820 all this because they, uh, a lot of people in the media have been associating the alt-right

00:19:44.320 with Trump.

00:19:45.060 And, and of course there's good reason for that.

00:19:46.820 I would say most people in the alt-right are excited about the Trump campaign.

00:19:50.840 I think we, we all have a lot of skepticism, but we're definitely excited by it.

00:19:55.460 He's, he's energized this movement.

00:19:58.040 Uh, no question.

00:19:59.100 Uh, but again, when they start saying things like the alt-rights taking over the, the, the

00:20:04.040 conservative movement and the Republican party, the alt-rights ascendant and so on, it becomes

00:20:08.280 kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy because that, that's how things work.

00:20:11.580 It's, it's almost better for them to ignore us or to, or to, you know, harp on about how

00:20:16.380 we don't have any money or so, or something like that.

00:20:18.760 It's actually, I, I think they're, they kind of can't help themselves and they are really

00:20:22.340 are promoting us and they're, they're making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

00:20:25.440 We do have a lot more power than we did a year and a half ago.

00:20:29.340 And, uh, it's, it, it doesn't mean that we have this, you know, multi-million dollar

00:20:33.280 endowments or billion dollars, like the heritage foundation and all these conservative losers

00:20:38.380 in the, uh, the, in the, in the beltway, but we, we, we scare them more and we're, we're

00:20:45.080 seen as ascendant, whereas conservatives are seen accurately as, as, as descendant and,

00:20:51.320 and as, as old and tired and boring and all that kind of stuff.

00:20:55.720 So I, I think what the media has been doing, again, they're attacking us, but I think it's

00:20:59.620 actually been very positive.

00:21:01.740 Well, they, you know, they should be scared.

00:21:03.660 The traitors to our people, our heritage, our freedoms, our constitution, our rights,

00:21:09.940 our traditions, our very existence in not only America, but the entire Western Christian

00:21:16.040 world, you know, they should be scared because they're going to be turned out of power.

00:21:20.300 They're going to be, there, there is a massive tidal wave of Europeans all over the world 1.00

00:21:27.280 who are waking up and who are rising up.

00:21:30.380 And, uh, they know, uh, they know that, you know, the, yes, they, they're putting us up

00:21:35.660 against the wall by their immigration policies, but our people are not out done and out by any

00:21:42.400 means.

00:21:42.740 Our people are actually, we still have millions upon millions of people who are just not

00:21:47.680 going to sit by.

00:21:48.560 They're not going to go quietly into the night.

00:21:51.240 And when we apply our intelligence and our ability and our courage and that of our ancestors,

00:21:56.560 when we reach down into our genes and our traditions and culture and our heroes of the past, when

00:22:02.880 we embrace that, we will rise up and we will take our countries back.

00:22:08.280 We will preserve our children and our heritage.

00:22:11.200 And we will ensure a future that will take us not only to victory and survival in our own nations, but

00:22:17.000 ultimately to the stars.

00:22:18.340 That's what I believe in and what my life's always been about.

00:22:21.600 Yeah.

00:22:21.800 Mine, mine too.

00:22:22.920 Yeah.

00:22:23.140 I would say a lot of people who, who have some conservative instincts will say things like,

00:22:27.640 oh, it's over in 2050 or 2042 when whites become a minority in the United States.

00:22:34.520 And I've always just chafed at that kind of talk, just cringed, like as if it's over if

00:22:40.920 we can't elect more Republicans or something.

00:22:43.900 I mean, it's just like, that's just the beginning.

00:22:46.760 I agree that something will be ending at that point, but something will be beginning.

00:22:50.960 And we have enough people.

00:22:52.860 We don't, we don't need to be 98% of the population in order to change the world or even dominate

00:23:01.160 a population.

00:23:02.180 I mean, let's keep in mind, uh, the city of London was able to dominate a great deal of

00:23:08.440 the world in the British empire.

00:23:10.500 And I'm not saying I want to bring back them to the British empire. 0.95

00:23:13.700 I don't, uh, and I'm not saying there weren't problems with that, but it's, it's just a

00:23:18.020 fact that we're able to dominate the world.

00:23:21.200 We're able to, you know, explore the galaxies in ways that others can't.

00:23:26.360 And maybe we need to become a minority in the United States of America in order for us to 0.77

00:23:31.620 wake up.

00:23:32.260 I don't know.

00:23:33.060 I don't, I don't know, Richard, that may be saying too much to say we need to, but it

00:23:37.320 looks like that's where we're headed, but.

00:23:39.460 I'm an, I remain an optimist.

00:23:41.220 I'm not.

00:23:41.840 I do too.

00:23:42.820 It's not that we need to be a minority, but I'm telling you this, that minorities, dedicated

00:23:47.840 minorities have always been the most powerful force in history, rather than latent majorities.

00:23:55.040 Absolutely.

00:23:55.620 I mean, you look at, look at the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, it was maybe 10,000 people

00:23:59.740 in a country of, of tens of millions of people.

00:24:03.120 I mean, less than one 10th of 1% perhaps were Bolsheviks.

00:24:06.840 Um, and there's no question that in, in other countries, there were very small percentages

00:24:12.380 that captured the will of the people and, and went to power and we can do that.

00:24:16.720 And also physically, I mean, let's be frank about it.

00:24:21.460 You know, I'm not, I've never advocated violence.

00:24:24.500 And I think any sort of violence right now in terms of this society is totally counterproductive.

00:24:28.720 And I, I've always believed, and I've, I totally opposed any sort of terrorism or violence of

00:24:33.380 any kind, because not only do I think it's morally wrong, but I also think that it's totally

00:24:38.460 counterproductive.

00:24:39.680 Uh, that because the power of the media, they're able to make us to be the moral enemies, even

00:24:45.400 though they're committing all kinds of terrorism against us every day with their policies.

00:24:49.620 Uh, they're, you know, it's like the black lives matter. 0.97

00:24:52.440 I mean, you have a few dozen black criminals who are shot by police and maybe of that, a

00:24:58.620 tiny number and a couple of handfuls that might be, um, you know, might be something where 0.60

00:25:03.680 they can argue about whether they should have been shot or not.

00:25:06.540 And then you have thousands upon thousands of innocent white men, women, and children

00:25:12.640 who've committed no offense, who've done nothing wrong, who've been, uh, murdered, robbed, car 0.98

00:25:20.660 hijacked, raped themselves and their children, massacred, murdered women, uh, raped and sexually 0.99

00:25:27.000 attacked. 0.99

00:25:27.580 I mean, and it's a cross racial crime and yet you have no mention of these things.

00:25:32.320 So, um, the time may come when this has happened throughout history, when people who are facing

00:25:40.180 tyranny, uh, facing ethnic, uh, destruction and genocide, doesn't the media teach us every

00:25:46.720 day that when the quote, the Jews were facing ethnic destruction in Europe or whatever, that

00:25:53.980 they have a, they had a moral right to rise up and fight.

00:25:56.240 I mean, the, the, the question is very simply that, uh, the day will come, if the day ever

00:26:03.780 comes and that fight comes about, uh, we have the intelligence and the organization and the

00:26:09.900 ability and the courage and the brilliance and, and really the history that we can rekindle

00:26:16.880 whatever, whatever we need to rekindle to win the battle.

00:26:20.640 If only we have the dedication toward that victory.

00:26:24.600 Yes, absolutely.

00:26:25.080 Well, let's, um, let, let's pull back a little bit.

00:26:28.680 I, I, I do want to talk about history because you've, you've had this fascinating career

00:26:32.840 and, um, first I want to talk about something that is what is, is the only thing that the

00:26:39.600 wolf blitzers of the world want to talk about where whenever they introduce you, they say 1.00

00:26:43.300 former Ku Klux Klan leader, grand wizard, David Duke.

00:26:47.100 I obviously didn't do that.

00:26:48.580 I don't think that's what defines you.

00:26:50.780 Uh, but I am curious about that.

00:26:53.080 Um, you actually founded the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in 1974.

00:26:58.440 Uh, so it was actually a, um, it was actually, I wasn't the founder.

00:27:03.840 It was actually founded by a very successful intellect and businessman by the name of James

00:27:08.400 Lindsay in New Orleans, very successful uptown, uh, New Orleans, uh, individual.

00:27:13.880 He used to own a, uh, brokerage firm and, uh, major real estate developer, brilliant guy.

00:27:19.980 It was a nonviolent group and he recruited me.

00:27:23.400 He said, well, we need you to come in here and, and we're going to use this organization

00:27:28.900 and we're going to buy this, uh, controversial view.

00:27:33.480 We're going to get a lot of coverage and we're going to get the issues out that we need to.

00:27:38.260 And, uh, it, it kind of like was the original trolling that these young people are doing

00:27:42.780 today in a sense, even though they were going back to the original values of, of the, uh,

00:27:50.260 Klan and the original values of the Klan were a revolutionary group to preserve the rights 0.67

00:27:55.020 of the people of the South who were losing them with the horrific reconstruction.

00:27:58.420 And most of America used to recognize that by the way.

00:28:02.360 And, uh, in fact, we got to remember now that the North and South, even the first great popular

00:28:09.620 movie, which was loved all over America, North and South was birth of a nation. 0.95

00:28:13.200 They're making a new black version of it, celebrating the black massacre of white people 0.99

00:28:18.580 with Nat Turner. 0.97

00:28:19.860 Right.

00:28:20.460 Of course.

00:28:21.140 Uh, to show you how things have changed.

00:28:23.280 But, um, so I got involved and, you know, if I had to do my brothers, I'd probably

00:28:28.400 be taking a different, different path, but at the same time, uh, it did give a platform,

00:28:33.480 uh, to these positions.

00:28:35.040 And, um, and later when I, I realized that, uh, I wasn't going to be able to change the

00:28:42.300 image of it because of the people involved, I was a nonviolent person and, uh, always condemned

00:28:47.100 violence.

00:28:47.680 So, um, I eventually, you know, left the organization and formed a, a more of a political activist

00:28:54.000 organization, the NAWP, and then later ran for office.

00:28:58.260 In fact, as a very young man, 24, my first political race was for state Senate.

00:29:03.000 I ran in a district of Baton Rouge.

00:29:04.800 I was a, a student at LSU, a graduate from LSU in history, later got my PhD.

00:29:09.820 Thank goodness.

00:29:10.460 It helps me a lot with, with my credentials and it's a real PhD.

00:29:14.140 Uh, but, you know, of course the media, anything you do in your life, they're going to put down

00:29:19.420 and try to, you know, that that's how the media is.

00:29:22.400 But, you know, it's, uh, and I went forward and I, I could have said, well, I have this

00:29:27.420 background.

00:29:27.940 I'm not, you know, I'm, I shouldn't run for office, but I didn't let it stop me.

00:29:32.300 And I eventually I got elected office and, and, and had huge campaigns and powerful campaigns,

00:29:38.600 uh, where I almost went to the Senate and, and the governorship, I unseated a sitting

00:29:44.240 Republican governor.

00:29:45.740 Um, so it kind of shows you that we should never let these things stop us.

00:29:50.500 And I think I'm poised right now to go to the United States Senate.

00:29:53.960 And because of the media, uh, craziness about my clan past, uh, it's, uh, it's going to make

00:30:00.880 my victory, probably the biggest political victory covered in, in the entire earth.

00:30:05.680 I mean, in fact, we're getting the runoff, uh, from November 8th to December 3rd, I think

00:30:12.040 it is.

00:30:12.480 It will be the biggest news story, the biggest political race covered in the world, which

00:30:17.560 is a tremendous bully pulpit for the ideas I represent and the ideas you represent and the

00:30:22.560 ideas that hopefully the listeners of this program represent.

00:30:25.520 Yeah, absolutely.

00:30:26.460 That's, that's fascinating that you said that joining the clan was a little like trolling.

00:30:31.080 It, it, it reminded me of something I think, uh, William Pierce said about, um, George Lincoln

00:30:38.060 Rockwell, where he said that no one paid attention to me until I put on this Nazi garb, uh, Rockwell

00:30:45.020 said that.

00:30:45.600 And again, I don't, I've always, whenever I've met someone or something like that, and they,

00:30:51.760 they love all of that, that paraphernalia of, of the 1930s.

00:30:56.140 I, I, I'm really turned off by them.

00:30:59.340 I, I feel like you're just playing their game.

00:31:02.680 You're, you're, you're becoming kind of a Hollywood caricature of our ideas and our movement.

00:31:07.200 So I've always, uh, distanced myself from those people, but I actually do see your point.

00:31:13.680 Uh, there, there is a way where if you, if you do put on the clan robe that you immediately

00:31:18.400 get attention because the clan change.

00:31:20.420 I mean, obviously there was the original clan, uh, during the reconstruction period that was

00:31:24.980 really deeply rooted with the South.

00:31:26.860 Then you had the, the next clan, which wasn't even really Southern.

00:31:31.020 I mean, it was, it was a kind of all American, you know, uh, uh, organization.

00:31:35.560 It was many governors and senators in the North and South elected office.

00:31:39.140 In India, I think I've read something like in Indiana, half of the Indiana legislature was

00:31:44.040 a member of the clan and they waived the American flag.

00:31:46.840 Well, Harry Truman, before he became president, he joined the clan as a sitting judge in Missouri

00:31:52.020 at the age of 41 years of age.

00:31:54.020 Wow.

00:31:54.700 That's interesting.

00:31:55.700 That's a fact.

00:31:56.360 There's no denying that fact.

00:31:58.300 Uh, but again, you'd notice how the media treats former Klansmen and that's what's, but

00:32:03.760 you know, the way to deal with it now, I've learned the way to deal with it.

00:32:06.500 And maybe Donald Trump is one of the teachers on this.

00:32:08.580 I just laugh at them and I'll just say, you know, who in the heck cares?

00:32:14.120 What did you, you know, when, when, when Harry, when, uh, excuse me, what I'm saying, Robert

00:32:18.500 Byrd, when Robert Byrd was a former Klansman who was supported by Barack Obama and Hillary

00:32:23.840 Clinton for the United States Senate, they lead the United States Senate.

00:32:27.740 Right.

00:32:28.100 Uh, they never headlined former Klansman Robert Byrd.

00:32:31.200 If they're saying that my former Klan affiliation is, uh, and really, well, basically for about four

00:32:36.580 years during the, during my twenties is legitimate, then certainly his former Klan affiliation was

00:32:44.260 legitimate, not determined whether he became a liberal Democrat or not, you know, or, I

00:32:48.760 mean, it doesn't make any, that's what they're saying because obviously my, my rhetoric is

00:32:53.860 not what people conceive of as, as Klan.

00:32:56.140 I've been out of the Klan for four decades now.

00:32:58.580 Uh, I served in the house of representatives.

00:33:00.480 I have a perfect Republican voting record.

00:33:02.860 Uh, I should be identified with the press as former representative.

00:33:06.580 David Duke.

00:33:07.800 And that's, that would be the proper way to talk about me.

00:33:11.000 Just like they would never introduce Robert Byrd as former Klansman, Robert Byrd, they

00:33:16.140 would, Byrd, they would never put a headline on him.

00:33:18.600 Or Klansman, Robert Byrd.

00:33:20.260 Exactly.

00:33:21.140 I mean, so, so the truth is that actually they've overused it so much.

00:33:25.720 I can use that against them now.

00:33:27.340 Yeah.

00:33:27.500 And I can say, boy, is that all you got?

00:33:30.200 Yeah, exactly.

00:33:30.860 And I also, I can point out, like we had, we had Bernie Sanders.

00:33:35.340 Now the media calls him sometimes a socialist, hardly ever headlines him as socialist.

00:33:39.480 Here's a guy who at 41 years of age, not like me when I was from 23 to 28, right?

00:33:45.340 Mm-hmm.

00:33:45.500 24 to 28, actually, uh, in the Klan, less than four years.

00:33:48.940 And he was at 41 and elector for the Socialist Workers Party, which was a self-described communist

00:33:58.520 group.

00:33:59.220 Right.

00:33:59.460 That worshipped Leon Trotsky, the first head of the Red Army in the Russian-Soviet Union,

00:34:07.940 which killed millions of people.

00:34:09.780 That's, that was his hero.

00:34:11.220 And also he went to a communist Stalinist kibbutz in Israel.

00:34:14.400 Yes.

00:34:14.840 Which flew the red flag.

00:34:16.280 And he took that red flag, by the way, took a copy, one of them, back and flew it in his

00:34:21.220 office, you know, when he was mayor of Burlington.

00:34:23.780 And, and, and yet the media never says former communist Robert Byrd.

00:34:29.240 I mean, we can just go on and on about these.

00:34:31.160 Two observations real quick.

00:34:32.840 Um, with, with Senator Byrd, uh, I'll, I'll, I'll say very briefly, I think the way that

00:34:39.580 that was pitched was as a redemption story.

00:34:42.040 And they, the, probably the dirty little secret of, of Senator Byrd was that a lot of West 1.00

00:34:47.660 Virginia voters liked him precisely because he was a good old boy or one of them.

00:34:53.040 Um, but he, they, they could at least pitch it as this redemption narrative of, oh, he

00:34:57.260 didn't know what he's doing.

00:34:58.320 He's, he had a change of heart, but you, they, you, you can't do that, or at the very least

00:35:03.280 they won't do that for you just because you actually do care about your race and civilization.

00:35:08.040 And so therefore you can't be redeemed.

00:35:11.160 They, they say, okay, I was thinking, well, exactly what did I do?

00:35:14.020 They'll say my views were apprehensible because I said that European Americans, you know, should 1.00

00:35:19.200 not be discriminated against massively in discrimination, affirmative action.

00:35:22.600 Because I say that we, we shouldn't be intentionally, uh, reduced our population, ethnically cleansed 0.99

00:35:29.800 in our own country.

00:35:31.000 Uh, I always condemn violence.

00:35:32.700 So I could be a story of redemption, but see, but it's not my past.

00:35:36.480 And just like, it's not Robert Byrd's task, past, which is important.

00:35:40.980 It's not the past of, of David Duke that they care about.

00:35:44.640 It's what I'm doing now.

00:35:45.780 So that's why Robert Byrd's past became a footnote and my past became a headline and

00:35:51.600 it remains a headline.

00:35:52.980 And they could, you know, if they wanted to write a story of redemption, they could, they

00:35:56.480 could say, okay, he was in the Klan.

00:35:58.160 He realized a lot of people were, you know, who were taking that title, who acting improperly

00:36:03.400 or hatefully.

00:36:04.200 He denounced that, right?

00:36:06.120 He was a force for nonviolence in the organization.

00:36:09.220 He was, he went on beyond that.

00:36:11.360 He went on to the House of Representatives.

00:36:13.300 He was a great voice for equal rights for all, including European Americans.

00:36:16.960 He was a great voice against war.

00:36:19.220 They could easily write a story of redemption, but that's not what the, we have an unfair,

00:36:23.480 biased, controlled media in America.

00:36:25.920 And really everybody gets the idea of that when they, when they read KKK now, because 0.95

00:36:30.900 everybody says, this is ridiculous.

00:36:32.620 Why not, you know, why not Robert, you know, why not Bernie Sanders, former communist, or 0.55

00:36:38.180 why not, you know, Robert Byrd, former Klansman?

00:36:40.660 How can Hillary Clinton endorse, all right, Robert Byrd to head the United States Senate? 1.00

00:36:45.960 And all the Republicans, by the way, voted for him.

00:36:47.760 So the Republicans, they always say, well, yeah, yeah, look at the Democrats.

00:36:51.220 They support Robert Byrd. 0.71

00:36:52.400 Well, every Republican member of the U.S. Senate voted.

00:36:56.900 It was unanimous.

00:36:57.660 That's what they do.

00:36:58.860 They could have objected, but every Republican senator in the U.S. Senate voted to confirm

00:37:03.760 Robert Byrd as a Senate, Senator pro tem, who was third in line to succession to the president.

00:37:11.240 So how in the world can they say they can't support me because I was suddenly, I was been

00:37:15.300 in the Klan before they support a Democrat, former Klansman.

00:37:18.660 Right.

00:37:19.280 You know?

00:37:19.760 You've been, you've been redeemed in my mind.

00:37:21.500 I would say one, one real quick footnote to Robert Byrd.

00:37:27.620 I want to mention something about Bernie, but a quick footnote to Robert Byrd.

00:37:31.640 Despite the fact that we, he was on the wrong side of a lot of issues.

00:37:34.980 I actually would say this at the, at the end of his life, he was actually very good on

00:37:39.200 the most important issues of the day.

00:37:41.900 He, he opposed George W. Bush and the Iraq war with as much vehemence as anyone.

00:37:46.540 So I would actually tip my cap to the evil Klansman.

00:37:51.140 Well, he did.

00:37:51.760 He did even up to 65.

00:37:53.820 He, he, he voted against the, you know, the heart seller immigration reform bill, which,

00:38:00.100 which changed the demographics of America fundamentally.

00:38:02.900 And he voted against that bill.

00:38:05.160 And, uh, but then later he kind of sold us out because he supported the amnesty and these

00:38:09.760 other policies.

00:38:10.540 Did he oppose the civil rights act?

00:38:12.200 Do you know that?

00:38:13.060 Or not?

00:38:13.300 He did oppose the civil rights act.

00:38:14.800 That's fascinating.

00:38:15.680 In the, in 1960, there was that terrible mid decade, uh, you know, political revolution.

00:38:22.180 Basically he opposed that.

00:38:23.340 Yeah, he opposed it.

00:38:23.720 He absolutely was a, a leading opposition to that act.

00:38:27.300 So anyway, Robert Byrd is not that bad. 0.89

00:38:28.020 But he kind of shows you the hypocrisy of the media, right?

00:38:31.160 So, um, yeah, after it, it wasn't really important after he could get away with it, he kind of switched

00:38:36.940 policy and now he's a hero.

00:38:38.660 Yeah.

00:38:38.980 Because, because, because now he got the support of the media, right?

00:38:43.700 Right.

00:38:43.900 So now he could, he could, he could sell out his own people, people of West Virginia, people

00:38:50.140 of this country, because the media was going to give him acolytes.

00:38:53.380 And now he's a good man because he has all this powerful structure behind him.

00:38:57.500 Uh, and the truth is that I, on the other hand, has been a man that's always stood for

00:39:02.840 principle over any sort of political advantage.

00:39:05.540 And that's what the people of Louisiana know.

00:39:07.320 Maybe that's why I'm so popular among so many people here.

00:39:09.840 Right.

00:39:10.100 Now, real quick about Bernie.

00:39:11.440 It is interesting that he was in there.

00:39:12.760 I didn't know this.

00:39:13.440 It was interesting that he was a member of a Trotskyist organization, uh, which were,

00:39:17.220 of course, uh, opposed the, the Soviet Union, which probably, uh, stank of Russian nationalism.

00:39:23.880 Yeah, exactly.

00:39:25.220 In his mind.

00:39:26.820 Well, Richard, I, I, I'm, you know, we need to get this very firmly in our, in our brains

00:39:32.380 and in our, in our history and understanding of Bernie Sanders.

00:39:35.500 Bernie Sanders was not only in the Socialist Workers Party, he was an elector for the

00:39:43.400 Socialist Workers Party candidate for president of the United States, Andrew Pulley, who, who

00:39:50.280 was on the ballot and he was an elector for this open communist, called himself a communist

00:39:55.780 in an open communist party for the presidency of the United States.

00:40:00.040 So he was on the ballot for the Socialist Workers.

00:40:02.320 He was a communist.

00:40:03.820 Yeah.

00:40:04.120 C-O, capital C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-T. 0.99

00:40:07.760 And, uh, there's no argument about that fact.

00:40:11.540 And yet, nobody knows that in this country.

00:40:14.060 Why?

00:40:14.480 Because we have a very controlled, uh, media.

00:40:17.600 So, and, and, and by the way, as far as labels go, if the, if we had a really fair media,

00:40:22.620 they would list Hillary Clinton as the, uh, you know, as the hero of Benghazi.

00:40:28.000 You know, she caused the death of an American ambassador.

00:40:30.840 Right.

00:40:31.120 Who was tortured and murdered in this town because in, in Tripoli and she led to the, 0.96

00:40:36.620 and her policies led to this happening to begin with.

00:40:38.860 She also is the hero of ISIS. 0.85

00:40:41.300 I mean, she and her state department and our government supported ISIS against this, the

00:40:50.020 Syrians who actually were a secular government who actually had Christians and Sunni and Shiite

00:40:57.300 in their cabinets.

00:40:58.860 You're right.

00:40:59.500 Well, still do.

00:41:00.040 The freest governments in all of the Middle East.

00:41:02.060 And I met the head of the Christians in Syria before.

00:41:04.380 Yeah.

00:41:04.800 Oh, I mean, if you look at Hillary's qualifications, I mean, it is a total disaster. 1.00

00:41:10.380 I mean, just look at Libya.

00:41:11.880 I mean, Gaddafi was, you know, and I'm not saying he's an ideal leader, but, uh, he, he

00:41:17.840 kept the place together.

00:41:19.140 I mean, it, he was willing to work with America and, and, and Western leaders.

00:41:24.020 Certainly stopping any sort of terrorism out of Libya.

00:41:26.080 And that's all different now.

00:41:27.240 Yeah, absolutely.

00:41:28.120 And they created a failed state.

00:41:29.660 And then they were trying to do it in Syria.

00:41:31.700 They've, they've luckily been unsuccessful in that.

00:41:34.540 Um, I, I don't think they're going to be able to create even more chaos in Iran as well.

00:41:38.560 But, uh, yeah, I mean, there are some, uh, really terrible people.

00:41:42.760 It's, it is funny.

00:41:43.540 Like you've, you've, you've never, you know, inspired terrorism or like funneled money, funneled

00:41:49.620 money that ultimately ended up in the hands of ISIS.

00:41:51.560 You've never overthrown, you know, uh, legitimate leaders and created failed states except, and

00:41:57.900 yet you're the bad guy.

00:41:59.280 You know, the only oath I ever took can be even back when I joined the Klan and what we give

00:42:03.800 to people was to not commit a violent or illegal act to, to defend the Christian faith and our

00:42:09.420 Christian heritage in this country, to defend the constitution of the United States, right?

00:42:14.060 And to defend the rights and the heritage of the European American people.

00:42:18.220 That's the only thing I ever swore to.

00:42:19.640 That's what I swore to.

00:42:20.800 And in fact, I, that I, in fact, made it a rule in our group that you would, because I was very

00:42:27.060 aware of how the violence is not only an immoral thing, but a counterproductive thing.

00:42:30.960 I, I made that as part of our oath, everybody who joined my group.

00:42:34.000 And there was never a single individual in my organization that ever committed a violent

00:42:37.500 act. 0.95

00:42:38.760 So when they try to put this brush against me, it's ridiculous.

00:42:42.220 But again, I think all that's, it doesn't make any difference anymore.

00:42:46.180 It's the same kind of thing.

00:42:47.140 They, they, they've lashed every sort of personal attack on Donald Trump.

00:42:50.940 And what is it doing to Donald Trump anymore?

00:42:52.860 It's nothing.

00:42:53.540 It's a, and he's leading Hillary Clinton right now.

00:42:56.440 Yeah, absolutely.

00:42:57.420 Let me, as we bring this conversation to a close, it's really been, it's really been

00:43:01.160 great.

00:43:01.720 I just like to talk about the difference between your first campaigns and, and then your,

00:43:06.940 your resurgence, resurgence here in 2016.

00:43:12.220 Um, and I've actually, I actually watched a lot of video of your appearances in the, uh,

00:43:18.740 the early nineties.

00:43:19.740 Uh, there, there's a very famous Donahue appearance where you, uh, you, you, you basically win the

00:43:26.540 argument, you won over people in the audience.

00:43:28.720 It was, uh, you really handled yourself quite well.

00:43:31.860 Um, at that time you sounded very much like a Reagan conservative, uh, in terms of your talking

00:43:41.140 points, granted, you'd say something you'd maybe taught, you'd maybe a different emphasis.

00:43:45.600 You talk a little bit more about immigration, talk a little bit more about getting rid of 1.00

00:43:49.900 affirmative action, which is obviously anti, you know, discrimination against, uh, white

00:43:53.580 people.

00:43:53.880 But you basically, in terms of your terminology and your tone, you, you sounded a lot like

00:43:59.720 a Reagan Republican.

00:44:02.060 Um, what do you, do you think that we're in a different world now?

00:44:06.200 I mean, I really think, I really think we are in terms of my cuckoo clock.

00:44:10.960 Oh, that's a cuckoo clock.

00:44:12.240 I keep my cuckoo clock there to remind me of these cuckolds who we have to defeat in

00:44:17.080 selection.

00:44:17.700 People forget that's the origin of the cuckoo clock is the cuckold bird.

00:44:21.700 That's right.

00:44:22.340 I mean, it's the origin of cuckold and it's the cuckoo bird who, who, that's what, that's

00:44:25.760 what the Republican party is right now when they say that they're going to sell out the

00:44:28.740 Senate and the, and the Supreme court to keep David Duke out.

00:44:31.580 Now that's cuckoo.

00:44:32.640 Yeah.

00:44:33.200 It's, they're cucking themselves in their cuckoo. 0.84

00:44:35.360 Yeah, absolutely.

00:44:36.220 Well, let's, let's talk about what, what is, what is new?

00:44:39.660 Like, do you think that you want to become the alt-right candidate in the sense of some

00:44:44.440 of the language you use?

00:44:45.640 I mean, maybe that's, that's a little too cuckoo, but, or do you want to, do you, do you,

00:44:49.780 do you think that Trump has brought in a new language?

00:44:51.820 Cause Trump sounds much more like a, you could say a Democrat or, or, or even a socialist in

00:44:59.240 the sense of we're going to protect American workers.

00:45:01.460 We're going to do this.

00:45:02.200 That, that seems to be this new emphasis that he's brought on and conservatives hate that.

00:45:06.100 So do you think that you're going to change your language a bit in, in 2016?

00:45:12.060 Well, here's, here's what I, there's a very big difference between your idea, ideological

00:45:18.120 books and pronouncements.

00:45:19.980 And when you run a campaign and you run a campaign, you're maximizing votes.

00:45:24.480 So you're, you've got to be the cutting edge, but at the same time, if you get too far ahead

00:45:29.300 of people, that's probably why I lost.

00:45:30.720 Cause I got too far out of them actually.

00:45:32.260 Uh, before I was a little bit before my time, uh, you also got to, to, to mobilize the

00:45:39.140 votes and that's something you've got to do.

00:45:41.440 But I do believe absolutely that everything I was talking about, and here's the thing,

00:45:47.000 no matter what we, people say, well, you sound like a Reaganite person, but the truth is

00:45:51.380 nobody was really saying what I was saying.

00:45:53.080 They weren't talking about preserving our neighborhoods that forced integration of

00:45:56.380 education was, uh, destroying the education of this country.

00:45:59.960 Nobody was saying that immigration was going to destroy America as we know it, and the

00:46:04.260 traditions and the rights of the American people, uh, that it was going to change the

00:46:08.180 demographics.

00:46:08.720 And I said those things.

00:46:09.960 So I said, you know, a lot of things that sound like Reagan, you know, conservatism, and

00:46:15.460 I, I'm still kind of that way.

00:46:16.960 I mean, I believe that we should have less government and less taxes and all the rest of

00:46:21.040 it, but, um, and the constitutional liberties must be preserved.

00:46:24.740 But at the same time, I pushed the envelope, I think that, uh, today I can even be more outspoken.

00:46:32.360 I really believe that it's a talking point to talk about the fact that we must make America

00:46:37.460 great again and to understand that America can never be made great again unless we preserve

00:46:45.100 the principles and the people who made America great in the first place.

00:46:53.100 I like that phrase.

00:46:54.500 I came up with that the other day.

00:46:55.600 I think it's a very powerful phrase.

00:46:57.420 The principles and the people.

00:46:59.280 The principles and the people that made America great in the first place.

00:47:01.820 Don't say principles.

00:47:02.840 That sounds like a coxervative. 0.94

00:47:04.220 Just say people.

00:47:05.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:47:05.680 Because, no, listen, you got to learn, you know, we have to learn the ways, look, whenever

00:47:12.160 you say something with people, and this is, this is important.

00:47:15.720 And I do believe that the principles, when we talk about the principles like freedom of

00:47:18.980 speech, we talk about principles like our gun rights, right?

00:47:23.060 When you talk about principles in addition to people, in addition to our race, that gives

00:47:28.840 a space.

00:47:29.420 It's true.

00:47:30.140 It's what we believe in, but it gives a space.

00:47:32.560 It makes people realize that these things are united.

00:47:35.360 This is how you, you, you kind of expand the envelope out there.

00:47:39.700 You, if you take people too far, too quick, you can do, there's some times and places it's

00:47:44.640 good for that.

00:47:45.620 You, sometimes you lose them.

00:47:46.800 When you say something that bridges them, and we have to bridge these conservatives who

00:47:52.380 really have their, a lot of them have their heart in the right place, right?

00:47:56.060 They want to preserve the Constitution.

00:47:58.080 They really want to preserve their neighborhoods.

00:47:59.740 They want their kids to have decent schools.

00:48:01.560 They don't want to have to pay $15,000 a year to put their kids in private school while

00:48:04.840 their taxes are making them poor to promote public education.

00:48:09.800 You know, you just, you have to build a bridge to them.

00:48:12.760 At the same time, you've got to be outspoken enough that they are very, very clear that

00:48:17.880 you're distinctly different than these SOBs who've sold us out entirely in the political 0.86

00:48:23.460 process.

00:48:24.340 Right.

00:48:24.660 You know, I think this is the challenge, and I don't claim to be a political strategist.

00:48:28.980 I am who I am.

00:48:30.780 But I would encourage you to be a little vanguard-ish.

00:48:37.260 Well, I know.

00:48:38.460 Right, you are.

00:48:39.260 I think the vanguard should obviously be writers and thinkers.

00:48:43.160 That's how it, or artists, that would be better.

00:48:45.420 That's naturally how it is.

00:48:47.680 But, you know, I think...

00:48:49.300 One of my platforms is to repeal the 1965 Immigration Act.

00:48:52.280 One of my platforms is that we need to use antitrust laws to break up these media conglomerates

00:48:57.980 where we have eight or nine corporations that control 90% of media in America.

00:49:02.840 That's got to end.

00:49:03.740 We have to have real freedom of speech.

00:49:05.220 The only way that's going to happen is by dismembering these unelected dictators over our discourse. 0.98

00:49:13.720 We've got to absolutely change the...

00:49:16.740 We've got to disband the Fed, you know, and take away the power of these unelected bankers

00:49:21.300 to set on monetary and economic policy.

00:49:23.840 So, yeah, I'm definitely on the vanguard on most of these.

00:49:28.480 We've got to totally stop this massive legal and illegal immigration that's ethnically cleansing 1.00

00:49:33.620 our own people.

00:49:35.000 We've got to have a policy in the Middle East and all over the world that puts America first

00:49:38.560 and only America first, and that we have to support our European and Western brothers

00:49:44.860 and sisters all over the world because this is a worldwide struggle for our people, just

00:49:49.320 as we need them to support us.

00:49:50.780 We have to have a trade policy that defends the rights of the American people, the American

00:49:56.140 working men, and the American businesses that want to go overseas.

00:49:59.600 So, yes, we've definitely got a vanguard policy here.

00:50:02.940 That's awesome.

00:50:03.600 All of that is good to hear.

00:50:05.100 All right.

00:50:05.340 Well, folks, if you like what I'm saying, if you see the possibility in this, if you see

00:50:09.480 why the left and the media and the establishment is so, so afraid of my candidacy because they

00:50:16.640 know I can win and they know the impact it'll make, I need your support.

00:50:20.900 I need a lot of people's support out there who can give us really sizable economic support

00:50:26.080 in this campaign, tangible contributions.

00:50:28.340 You know who you are.

00:50:29.780 We need your help.

00:50:31.020 We need your assistance.

00:50:32.320 Even if you can give a small amount or a large amount, there's a lot of people standing

00:50:36.380 on the sidelines.

00:50:37.900 We need your support in this race.

00:50:39.780 We can win this race.

00:50:40.800 But it's going to take a lot of dedication.

00:50:42.880 And we're getting some money in, so we're going to be able to raise some money.

00:50:46.560 But every penny you give and every real commitment you give, including some of those people and

00:50:51.640 give the maximum, that's going to put us on top.

00:50:55.760 We've got social media pretty much massively on our side.

00:50:59.580 We're getting tremendous internet traffic.

00:51:02.080 But we do have to reach a lot of those people who are a little older, who are just beholden

00:51:06.760 to the controlled media.

00:51:08.360 So we have to get some advertising out there.

00:51:10.200 We can do it.

00:51:11.200 We're already promoting a budget to do that.

00:51:13.820 We're having robocalls.

00:51:15.660 But to do this thing, to win this thing, I need your support, and I need it now.

00:51:20.500 You can go to davidduke.com.

00:51:22.280 You can go to my website for the campaign, dukeforsenate.com.

00:51:26.580 And if it comes down sometimes by the opposition, keep trying and get back to it.

00:51:31.000 And I'm going to give you an email address as well that you can send me your thoughts and

00:51:36.200 your support.

00:51:36.900 And that email address is drdukeinfo at gmail.com.

00:51:42.060 That's drdukeinfo, one word, at gmail.com.

00:51:47.400 And if you send me your name and your address and your telephone number, and especially if

00:51:51.140 you want to give me some significant help, send me your phone number as well and your

00:51:54.100 address.

00:51:55.080 And I will get back to you personally, in fact.

00:51:57.460 Tell us what you'd be willing to commit to and the support you'd be willing to give.

00:52:02.120 And let me know what you thought about the interview today.

00:52:04.020 Lena, I want to hear from you.

00:52:05.740 I want to hear your advice and your thoughts.

00:52:07.380 And if you want to volunteer for this campaign or help us in other ways as well, if you have

00:52:11.140 talents or abilities, I want to hear from you as well.

00:52:13.680 So, Richard, thank you so much for this opportunity for being with you.

00:52:17.180 And thank you all out there for listening to what I had to say here and supporting this

00:52:21.740 campaign.

00:52:22.220 This can make a really great difference in the history of this country and the survival

00:52:26.560 of our people and into this great fight we have to make sure we have a future for our

00:52:32.540 children in the Western world.
