00:00:56.060one of the most prestigious and sought after jobs
00:00:58.340in all of academia, Arde was awarded his job as a professor of sociology of education, not because
00:01:04.520of his talent or scholarship, but because he was a black activist. He told liberal white women what
00:01:10.740they wanted to hear. Arde fabricated elaborate, obviously fraudulent narratives about how
00:01:16.180racist had oppressed him throughout his life. He also concocted bizarre stories about how
00:01:21.240masked men with knives were chasing him around campus, how he supposedly discovered a pig's head
00:01:27.340on the porch of his family home. Despite clear evidence that Arde was delusional, the leaders of
00:01:33.780Cambridge, mostly white liberal women, of course, fell in love with him on the spot. They passed
00:01:38.100over thousands of other qualified, much more qualified applicants, many of them white, in order
00:01:43.780to sell a story to the public about the virtues of DEI. Cambridge promoted Arde as a shiny example
00:01:49.820of a strong black man who had overcome tremendous adversity, claimed he couldn't even read or write
00:01:55.680until he was 18 years old and became the youngest black professor in the university's history.
00:02:01.140And then when it all came crashing down, when Arday was exposed as the complete fraud he was,
00:02:07.360he apparently took his own life. Faced with some actual adversity for once in his life,
00:02:12.620Arday immediately opted for the coward's way out. He left his two children behind rather than face
00:02:17.920the consequences of his own lifelong deception. And through it all, Cambridge and many other
00:02:22.660race hustlers, including the UK's new prime minister, have stood by Arday. Many mainstream
00:02:28.420media outlets in this country have run sympathetic stories on him as well, where they suggest that
00:02:33.080his critics are responsible for his death. Jason Arday chose to lie and plagiarize and then chose
00:02:40.500to end his life, apparently. And the only person not responsible for any of Jason Arday's
00:02:47.740disastrous decisions, we are told, is Jason Arday himself. Watch.
00:02:54.560The death of high-profile academic Jason Arday has intensified scrutiny of the media coverage
00:02:59.720of him beforehand. Jason Arday, a sociologist who was once celebrated as the youngest ever
00:03:05.340black professor at Cambridge University, was found dead on Friday. That's just nine days
00:03:10.220after he resigned over allegations of plagiarism in his academic work. His family said in a
00:03:15.460statement released by his publisher. The campaign of misinformation was too much for Jason as he
00:03:20.620had been subjected to a campaign of sustained abuse since taking the job. The British Prime
00:03:24.760Minister called his death a tragedy on so many levels. A really sad and sorry state of affairs
00:03:31.060and I think we just all today think of Jason, his contribution and his family and friends.
00:03:36.760Some British media stories called the 41-year-old Professor Plagiarism and a poster boy for
00:03:42.160diversity. He acknowledged some mistakes in his work, he said were partly due to a lack of
00:03:46.580supervision, but denied plagiarism. Questions surrounding his athletic and fundraising
00:03:51.060achievements also dominated media coverage. As the story about him continued to gain traction,
00:03:56.540Arday said in a letter posted online that he resigned because he, quote, reached the limits
00:04:00.880of what any person should reasonably be expected to endure. Arday was found unresponsive in South
00:04:06.240London on Friday and was later pronounced dead at the scene, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan
00:04:10.680and police told CNN. Following his death, Cambridge University said in a statement,
00:04:15.000we are desperately saddened to hear this tragic news. Our heartfelt sympathies go to Jason Arday's
00:04:20.280family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. So he didn't plagiarize. They were just
00:04:27.220mistakes in his work that were due to lack of supervision. He didn't lift whole passages from
00:04:33.540other authors on purpose. It was an accident. He tripped, fell, and, you know, copy and pasted
00:04:38.180other people's work without attribution. It happens. It happens to the best of us.
00:04:42.600CNN also told us that questions were raised about Arde's other alleged achievements, but
00:04:47.580they didn't go any further into that. This is drive-by news coverage that's designed to convince
00:04:53.320people that Arde was smeared by white supremacists, when in reality, he deserved everything that
00:04:59.000happened to it. But the true story of Arde's fall is much bigger than the sordid collapse of one
00:05:04.880phony academic at a failing school in the UK. This is also a story about why whenever they
00:05:11.840seek to find the most qualified black candidates for high-level jobs, whether they're looking for
00:05:16.300a justice on the Supreme Court or a president of Harvard University or a White House press secretary
00:05:21.100or a vice president of the United States or a full professor at Cambridge,1.00
00:05:25.860white liberals inevitably select imbeciles who are as morally stunted as they are intellectually1.00
00:05:31.700stunted and obviously unqualified for the job. Now, you would think with unlimited resources to1.00
00:05:36.720find the most qualified black candidates available, they'd come up with someone worthwhile.
00:05:43.140You'd think that might happen at least occasionally, but it's not happening.
00:05:48.320And we need to talk about why. We also need to discuss the backlash against Nathan Kofnes,
00:05:53.720a former fellow at Cambridge who lost his job because he told the truth about anti-white
00:05:59.960discrimination in universities all over the world. Kofnus, with the help of other academics and
00:06:05.740outlets, most notably Retraction Watch, exposed Arde's fraud over the summer. And for that,
00:06:11.920he has been subjected to a smear campaign by Cambridge University, as well as various left-wing
00:06:16.520academics and activists. So the very thing they accuse Kofnus of provoking against Arde,
00:06:22.840an unfair, vengeful, politically motivated smear campaign, is precisely, of course,
00:06:28.520what they're doing to him. In fact, it's not just Coughness that they're going after. The left is
00:06:32.680demonizing anyone who reports the truth about our day, including mainstream outlets like
00:06:37.060The Telegraph, The Guardian, even The New York Times. The reaction has been nothing short of
00:06:42.260psychotic. There is an all-out effort to intimidate and harass critics of the serial fabulist, in part
00:06:47.440because they realize that if people keep digging, they're going to find out that he was not an
00:06:53.200aberration. The vast majority of liberal arts scholarships at every university, including
00:06:58.020Cambridge, as well as the entire DEI industry, are all just as fraudulent as R-Day himself was.
00:07:06.240And right now, all of these scammers are terrified that they're going to be exposed as well.
00:07:10.940That would include a woman named Hillary Kremen, who serves as the head of faculty and professor
00:07:16.660of education at Cambridge. She's one of the faculty members who hired R-Day in 2023.
00:07:22.320the BBC was on the scene to cover this momentous development in a puff piece that
00:07:27.260has not aged especially well and Kremen is the the white woman at the end of the segment just to be
00:07:33.280clear watch. I always felt it was a privilege to have a period of 11 years where maybe I couldn't
00:07:41.220speak and I couldn't converse in a way that everyone else could because it allowed me to
00:07:45.120see things in a different way. Professor Jason Arday was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
00:07:50.520at the age of three. He couldn't speak until he was 11 and read or write until he was 18.
00:07:57.200Throughout his early years his parents continued to believe in him. At 18 my mum had got to a
00:08:03.700point where there was only so much she could do and she was brilliant even though she had this
00:08:07.560belief that you know he'll do something okay but she just decided I need someone else to
00:08:11.540believe in him as much as I believe in him. Therapists predicted he would need full-time
00:08:16.100assistants throughout his life how wrong they were and now jason is days away from achieving
00:08:22.180another ambition here's his new boss at cambridge we do have a lot of work to do but i feel really
00:08:32.180optimistic part of his research will look at new ways to make higher education more accessible for
00:08:38.500everyone what can we do to ensure that this isn't a market appointment in five years time how can
00:08:44.740this become the norm we've listened to the voices of our black scholars and our black students
00:08:52.100and some of it has not been easy to hear to be honest but we're able to face up to some of the
00:09:00.180structural issues that people that people face there will be those i think this is a tokenistic
00:09:05.380appointment what are your thoughts on this the board of electors on your interview day were
00:09:11.460absolutely unanimous. We are so lucky to have you. You are the best in the world in terms of
00:09:18.720the research that you do. Well, there's nothing quite like being forced to watch the sexual
00:09:23.820tension in the Cambridge Sociology Department between a man who looks like a long-lost member
00:09:29.000of Milli Vanilli and a woman who looks and acts like she should be starring in a PSA about the
00:09:34.440dangers of brain parasites from cats. Hilary Kremen is living the fantasy of every white
00:09:39.420liberal female on the planet right now. This is the equivalent of like a BTS concert for millions
00:09:45.360of adult women. She gets the opportunity to fawn over a black guy, to apologize to him on behalf
00:09:50.420of white people. They love nothing more than that. They love to do that. And to present herself as
00:09:55.160this exceedingly wise, introspective academic who's willing to do the work. And to really sell
00:10:00.700the message, there's even the dramatic close-up of the interracial handshake, like it's a modern
00:10:04.680day renaissance painting. So who is this person? Who is Hilary Kremen exactly? Well, I looked up
00:10:10.560her CV, and as you expect, she hasn't done anything worthwhile in her entire career.
00:10:16.060Her publications have titles like Violence and Institutional Racism in Schools,
00:10:20.820Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Restorative Justice, and Is It Possible to Access the Voice
00:10:26.760of Preschool Children? Now, she throws in every woke buzzword you'd expect. Admittedly,
00:10:32.320I didn't read any of it, of course. But from what I can tell, no one else is reading this stuff
00:10:37.920either. A professor named Alex Edmonds took a look at Kremen's work on Google Scholar
00:10:42.300and found that she's been cited only about 2,000 times in her entire career, which has lasted for
00:10:47.560more than 26 years. And for comparison, he says that a senior professor in finance might have
00:10:52.8602,000 citations in a single year. In other words, Hilary Kremen, like virtually every other academic
00:10:58.380and the liberal arts, is a net negative on society. She consumes a significant amount
00:11:03.260of taxpayer funding. She hires faculty members on the basis of their skin color, and her research,
00:11:08.940if we can call it that, which nobody cares about in the first place and does not contribute to
00:11:13.680the reserves of human knowledge in any way, is all about finding new methods to discriminate
00:11:18.860against white people. The world would be a better place if professors like Hillary Kremen were
00:11:23.860purged from society. It's as simple as that. This helps explain why Kremen might say that Jason
00:11:31.220Arde is the best in the world. It also explains why she refused to fire Arde or even criticize
00:11:37.000him when evidence of his plagiarism surfaced. Frauds tend to look out for one another. They
00:11:43.180understand that when one of them falls, the others are also in jeopardy. Arde himself understood that
00:11:49.360concept very well. In April, he spoke at the British Sociological Association's 75th Anniversary
00:11:54.400Conference, where he lamented the fact that right-wing activists were exposing Black frauds
00:12:00.200in academia, including Claudine Gay, who was the former president of Harvard. Arday stated that,
00:12:05.620quote, the instruments that are designed to protect academic integrity, designed to protect
00:12:09.980our well-being and our intellectual property, are weaponized. There isn't any room to sit there and
00:12:15.580watch your fellows suffer for no reason, it's abhorrent. It's a disgrace and, quite frankly,
00:12:20.560evil. That's the cancer that we need to eradicate from academia. Now, of course, Arday was not0.73
00:12:26.880worried about eradicating a cancer from academia. He knew that he was the cancer, along with every
00:12:32.980other unqualified activist who's elevated solely on the basis of skin color. So let's get specific
00:12:38.820about what exactly Arday was guilty of and how obvious it was. On July 21st, Nathan Kofnus
00:12:45.740published an article on his substat called DEI Fraud and Cover-Up at Cambridge. And in the
00:12:51.660article, he describes running Arday's 2015 PhD dissertation through plagiarism detection software.
00:12:59.000And he found that on several occasions, Arday stole the wording with minimal changes from a 2009
00:13:05.920dissertation written by a student in London. And we'll put some of the side-by-sides up on the
00:13:11.100screen right now. You can see that the yellow highlights indicate verbatim copying. Green
00:13:16.580indicates a paraphrase. So there's a lot of verbatim copying, as you can see. The plagiarism
00:13:22.820is obvious. It's extensive. There are many more examples as well, including plagiarism from other
00:13:28.740sources. But it's important to understand that Arde's plagiarism extended well beyond his
00:13:33.380dissertation. I mean, that's bad enough on its own. Several of his published papers were plagiarized
00:13:38.920as well. Unfortunately for our day, a retired professor named Dave Harris came across one of
00:13:43.720these published papers entitled Attempting to Break the Chain, Reimagining Inclusive Pedagogy
00:13:48.660and Decolonizing the Curriculum Within the Academy. And Harris noticed some apparent plagiarism. Now,
00:13:56.580why you would even need to plagiarize nonsense about decolonizing the curriculum when it's all
00:14:02.500made up drivel anyway is beyond me. I mean, you could just make up whatever you want. It doesn't
00:14:08.540mean anything. Decolonizing the curriculum. I could write a paper on that subject in 45 minutes.
00:14:16.260You're just making it up. I mean, that's the fun of it, isn't it? Isn't that the one thing that
00:14:22.180should make this fun? Being in this totally nonsensical academic field, you can just make
00:14:26.680up whatever you want. Be creative, have fun with it. That's maybe the worst thing about the RDA
00:14:32.200scandal, not only was he a plagiarist, but he was plagiarizing gibberish. I mean, that's like
00:14:38.020copying a preschooler's chalk drawing of a tree and trying to pass it off as your own. You could
00:14:43.560have just made your own tree? Really? You had to copy that one? Anyway, Harris wrote an email to
00:14:50.320Arday seeking an explanation. It was a polite email that simply asked Arday to explain the
00:14:55.980quote puzzling similarities between his work and previously published materials. In response,
00:15:01.460Once a week later, R.A. wrote that it was, quote, disappointing that you have imposed yourself on me in the manner you have, i.e. without any reflexivity or humility whatsoever.
00:15:13.820Talk about the pot calling the kettle black there.0.78
00:15:16.560R.A. added, quote, you'll likely know from your literature reviews, not from experience, that the academy is a hostile place for black scholars.
00:15:24.460There are very few of us that become professors, and even fewer in the fortunate or precarious position I am in, which is having the platform to represent and uplift other people of color even beyond academia.
00:15:35.000As a black autistic man with global developmental delay and severe dyslexia, the odds are even less likely.
00:15:41.680My hope has always been that people like me feel inspired to pursue academia and that people like you can make space for this.
00:15:47.600Instead of spending your time trying to dismantle racism and ableism, you've spent what I assume
00:15:52.480is hours coming through my work looking for mistakes.
00:15:56.380Arnick concluded, quote, please do not email me again.
00:15:59.200Should you have the time to spare, I invite you to direct your resources elsewhere.
00:16:03.500Anything further from you will be considered bullying and harassment.0.61
00:16:08.940Then, I mean, all that reads like a parody of what a, you know, what a black academic
00:16:15.000activists would write in response to being accused rightly of plagiarism. Why are you imposing
00:16:22.220yourself on me? You're imposing yourself. I've stolen from you, but by you pointing that out,
00:16:29.840you are imposing yourself on me. Why would you impose yourself? Don't you know I have dyslexia?
00:16:35.140Don't you know I'm autistic? And if the self-parody wasn't enough, Arde then contacted
00:16:42.320the police who referred the matter to the Devon and Cornwell police for investigation. So to be
00:16:47.720clear, Arday reported a professor to the police and claimed that he was a victim of a fake crime,
00:16:55.020a hate crime, presumably, also harassment, in order to shut down a legitimate inquiry into
00:17:01.420his fraudulent work. Rather than denying the accusation and providing context to clear his name,
00:17:07.420he started rambling about how he's black and autistic,
00:17:11.560which is about as close to an admission of guilt0.90
00:18:31.380He went through all of Arday's prominent published papers, including the one flagged by Harris, and found even more plagiarism.
00:18:38.100A lot more. Again, we'll throw some of the examples up on screen.
00:18:40.980These are all flagrant examples of plagiarism. It didn't require any kind of careful line-by-line comparison.
00:18:46.860Plagiarism detection software picked up on all of these problems immediately.
00:18:51.360You know, there may be cases of plagiarists who are clever enough to cover up their theft or obscure it to a large degree.
00:18:57.400Jason Arday was not clever. And we can assume that there are even more examples that the program
00:19:03.280hasn't found yet. Again, other than Kofnes and a few professors, nobody with any resources has
00:19:08.780been looking into this guy. But when you zoom out, things get even worse for Arday. Here's the most
00:19:14.900important image from Kofnes' Substack article. It's a summary of his findings after looking through
00:19:21.060all 10 of Arday's most prominent publications. And as you can see, at least four of the 10 articles
00:19:27.120involve some amount of plagiarism with extensive plagiarism in at least two of the articles,
00:19:31.440but that's not even the most important takeaway here. The really important takeaway is that if
00:19:36.160you eliminate the plagiarized papers, then Arde has not produced any actual scholarship.
00:19:42.560You're left only with interviews he supposedly conducted about racist white people, so there's
00:19:47.040nothing to indicate that Arde has any academic qualifications whatsoever. Now, when these
00:19:52.460concerns were raised with Cambridge, the university, of course, said it didn't care because the
00:19:57.140plagiarism took place before he was hired at Cambridge. They said that, quote, in this instance,
00:20:01.440the research that your concerns relate to was carried out before Professor Arde joined the
00:20:05.300university. It would normally be for the institution at which the work was done to consider
00:20:09.500any research integrity concerns with a particular paper published in their name. As such, we do not
00:20:14.260consider it within our remit to investigate the paper to which you refer. In other words, they
00:20:20.220hired him because of his research, but they don't care if the research is fake. I mean, it's like
00:20:27.560if a hospital hired a doctor and then you pointed out to the hospital that, oh, that doctor's whole
00:20:32.400resume is fake. He doesn't even have a real medical degree. And then the hospital said,
00:20:38.360yeah, but that happened before. That was then, this is now. I mean, yeah, the guy's currently
00:20:44.120operating on your heart, but that was way in the past. That's not up to us to look into.
00:20:51.040Meanwhile, the journals that published R.A.'s articles took them offline and allowed him to make edits before they went back online.
00:20:57.180The journals all stated that the edits were relatively minor and merely involved, quote,
00:21:01.280making it clear where ideas were adapted from past research.
00:21:06.060But in truth, as Retraction Watch found, the edits were actually extensive.
00:21:10.060So to give just one example, R.A.'s articles in the article in the journal Social Sciences
00:21:14.280originally stated that he had analyzed interview transcripts with, quote,
00:21:18.640an iterative coding scheme using Envivo qualitative data analysis software
00:21:24.120before having a researcher code data to enhance the validity of emerging themes and claims.
00:21:31.020So that sounds all very technical. Sounds like he did some actual work in the original version.
00:21:35.840But in the revised version of the article, Arde merely says that he recorded the interviews,
00:21:39.880transcribed them and analyzed them by using, quote, review and reflection. Additionally,
00:21:46.740Retraction Watch also found that R.A. had plagiarized some of these interviews from other
00:21:50.760sources, so he wasn't even conducting them himself. This guy was not simply a plagiarist,
00:21:55.740in other words. He was actively fabricating data in order to push a certain narrative. He was
00:22:00.420engaging in deliberate deception in multiple different ways. So this is institutional
00:22:06.620corruption at every level. Cambridge refused to punish the black guy they hired as a token,
00:22:11.540and the peer-reviewed scientific journals allowed Arday to cover his tracks with stealth edits,
00:22:16.400even after his plagiarism was brought to their attention. And on top of that, even before all
00:22:20.660the plagiarism was uncovered, Arday was lying about every aspect of his life in a very pathological
00:22:26.080and blatant fashion. First of all, he claimed that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days, even after
00:22:33.260suffering a leg fracture around the 21st marathon. Nobody who's looked into this rather
00:22:38.760extraordinary claim has been able to verify it. There's a news article where he tells a reporter
00:22:43.540that he ran 30 marathons, but it's based solely on his own claims. And there's nothing in the
00:22:48.120article about a leg fracture. Arde also claimed at various points that he ran 300 miles in three
00:22:53.640days or 600 miles in six days, depending on where you look. If true, that would mean that Jason
00:22:59.360Narde is nearly on par with the greatest runners who have ever lived. As Kaufness writes, for
00:23:05.900comparison, Yanis Kouros, who has been described as the greatest ultra runner of all time,
00:23:11.060set a world record in 1984 when he ran 359 miles in three days. As a side note, I have to say it's
00:23:17.480very funny that a grown man was making this kind of thing up. It sounds like a lie a third grader
00:23:22.700might tell his friends when he gets back to school after summer vacation. You know what I did? You
00:23:27.820know what I did? I ran so far, like 300 miles. And then I got attacked by a bear.
00:23:37.060That's my Jason Arde impression. Then there's the claim that Arde couldn't read or write until he
00:23:42.460was 18, even though on its face, it's absurd to think that somebody who's illiterate at 18 could
00:23:46.800start publishing academic papers so quickly. But then again, since he copied all the papers and
00:23:52.140his whole field of study is made up gibberish anyway, maybe that claim isn't actually so
00:23:55.660implausible. I mean, there was a lot of people saying, oh, he clearly was not illiterate. He
00:23:59.680made that up. That's like the one thing he claimed that I'm willing to believe.
00:24:04.420He might still be illiterate. Or, I mean, he might have still been illiterate before,
00:24:10.000you know. And yet Arde graduated high school with a certificate that requires literacy, which
00:24:14.760seems incompatible with the idea that he couldn't read. And additionally, the New York Times just
00:24:19.380spoke to several of Arde's classmates, as well as a speech professional who worked with him when he
00:24:23.940was a child. They all said he could speak English and did so often. So the idea that he couldn't
00:24:30.000speak at all until age 11, as he claimed, is absurd. There's no way that a child goes from
00:24:35.760being unable to speak English to being fluent overnight, but he kept making that claim again
00:24:39.820and again. Cambridge sent Artie out on a press tour to illustrate how inclusive they are. Watch.
00:24:47.140I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when I was three, so a hybrid of autism,
00:24:52.040asperger's syndrome and global development delay and i guess the it's been well kind of publicized
00:24:57.800now but i didn't learn to speak until i was 11 and i didn't learn to read and write until i was 18.
00:25:02.900so tell me about you being a little boy though and what was going on in your mind at that time
00:25:07.000well i mean one of the things that i think people tend to think with neurodivergent children is that
00:25:12.880it's a disadvantage and while i wouldn't want to trivialize the difficulties that come with that
00:25:17.820For me, there was a beauty in the paralysis of speech, you know, not being able to be vocal and, I guess, converse with people in what is contained in a more conventional way.
00:25:29.980I was able to absorb the world and construct my reality in a different way, really through the efforts of my mother and my friends and family around me.
00:25:39.800Now, as a few people have pointed out, when Arday was three years old,
00:25:43.220neither Asperger's nor Global Development Delay were formally diagnosed by the UK's National Health Service.
00:25:50.060Global Development Delay was first used around 2003,
00:25:53.020while Asperger's became a diagnosis in 1992, four years after Arday was that age.
00:25:58.960So, there's a lot of reasons to doubt what he's saying,
00:26:01.780and none of it received any mainstream pushback whatsoever.
00:26:04.900There are also some more questionable claims in Arday's memoir,
00:26:07.680as Sarah Didum points out on her substack.
00:26:10.300R.D. claims that he had several tumors,
00:26:12.400including one in his brain and one in his testicle.
00:27:06.480Congressional control and President Trump's agenda hangs in the balance.
00:27:10.560Every headline has the potential to shift the odds.
00:27:13.480And in a key Senate race, James Tallarico is currently trading at 52% to beat Ken Paxton.
00:27:18.860That means $100 trade pays out over $180 with a win.

00:27:50.640In today's uncertain economy, American financing is helping families find a way out of the high-interest trap.
00:27:57.160We're heading into summer, but the economic clouds aren't clearing for most middle-class families.
00:28:01.860Between persistent inflation and the cost of daily life, you're likely feeling the pressure.
00:28:06.000You've worked hard for your home, probably have more equity than you realize, yet the summer surge is forcing many to rely on credit cards.
00:28:13.260It's an exhausting cycle, but American financing understands that 2026 requires a real strategy.
00:28:18.960That's why they have salary-based mortgage consultants with mortgage rates in the fives.
00:28:23.720Their customers are saving an average of $800 a month by wiping out high-interest debt.
00:28:28.780That's money that stays in your pocket to fight back against rising costs.
00:30:56.000And he just went about his day as if nothing happened.
00:30:58.680Now, of course, the story is not remotely true.
00:31:00.580I mean, it's a variation of what Jussie Smollett was doing at Fox when he wrote those letters to himself pretending to be white supremacists who wanted Fox to fire him.
00:31:09.820But Cambridge pretended to take the lie seriously, and so the lies kept coming.
00:31:13.500And in his open letter, Arde also claimed that mutilated animals had been sent to his parents' home and that bananas and bullets had been mailed to him.
00:31:23.440Quote, Arday confirmed in an interview with The Guardian that the mutilated animal sent to his
00:31:27.460family home mentioned in the open letter was a severed pig's head delivered in a large cardboard
00:31:32.540box to his parents' home address in South London. He claimed to have intercepted the package and
00:31:37.060immediately thrown it away, only telling the police several months later. In a subsequent
00:31:41.100interview, he claimed the police investigated, checking with butchers in South London if they
00:31:45.120had sold a pig, eventually finding one that had sold a whole hog on the morning the head
00:32:51.180Arde never took any photographs of these items when they were mailed to his house, nor did
00:32:56.300he mention them to anyone at the time.
00:32:58.960Like, that's the strange thing about these race hustlers, you'll notice.
00:33:02.640You know, they're desperate to claim racism wherever they can find it.0.94
00:33:05.500And then one day, a white supremacist sends them a box full of bananas and bullets, and
00:33:13.360they don't even think to snap a picture of it.0.79
00:33:15.280strange. When the guardian asked him about all these issues, he replied in quote,
00:33:20.740and said, I quote, to be honest with you, I thought you just believe me. Why would I lie?
00:33:28.460That's an extraordinary reply. That's really what he said.
00:33:32.260You know, what he's confessing here is that he never even developed a plan for defending his
00:33:37.520lies. Like typically a liar, you know, if he's vaguely intelligent, will be aware that his lie
00:33:44.620might be exposed. And so come up with some kind of plan B, some sort of defense, some sort of
00:33:50.020deflection, like the guy cheating with his secretary hopes that his wife won't notice
00:33:55.120the motel room charge on the credit card. But if she does, well, he's ready to claim that he
00:34:00.820generously rented a room for a hypothermic homeless man that he found huddled on the
00:34:04.880sidewalk or something. What he won't say if the room charge is raised is, oh, I didn't think
00:34:10.100you'd ask me about that. Oh, you want to know what I was doing in the motel? Honestly, I didn't
00:34:14.940think you'd ask me. That's it. Anyway, what do you want for dinner? So in this case, we're dealing
00:34:23.500with someone so narcissistic and so profoundly stupid that he simply thought he could make up1.00
00:34:28.100whatever he wanted and nobody would question him or his motivations. And the really shameful and1.00
00:34:33.560pathetic thing is that actually he was right, at least for a while. But here's the amazing thing.0.85
00:34:39.060Even if Arde hadn't plagiarized anything, and even if he'd never lied about his life story,
00:34:44.700there would still be no reason to hire him at Cambridge or anywhere else. It would still be
00:34:48.380a scandal that he got hired in the first place. Everything we've talked about up to this point
00:34:52.340relates to unethical or criminal conduct that should have disqualified him from employment
00:34:57.080at any university, regardless of how talented he was and regardless of how much research he was
00:35:02.720doing. But even if you forget about everything I've said, his credentials are still non-existent.
00:35:08.360So this is from the New York Times. Quote, when Cambridge University interviewed Jason Arday for one of the most prestigious sociology positions in the world, he was an early career scholar and underqualified by the school's own standards.
00:35:20.640Cambridge's requirements, reviewed by the New York Times, called for an outstanding research record of international stature and a proven successful track record supervising PhD students.
00:35:30.380Dr. Arday had a modest publication record and had bounced from one university to the next,
00:35:35.740not staying long enough to oversee a full three-year or more doctorate. Cambridge hired him
00:35:40.420anyway in 2023. So this is one of the key points that needs to be made here. The plagiarism is not
00:35:47.460the biggest issue. It's extremely unethical and everybody involved should be terminated, sure,
00:35:52.920but the bigger problem is that all of academia is fraudulent. They have no standards for anything.
00:36:00.860It's all a ruse. The average Cambridge faculty member is no more worthwhile than Jason Arday.
00:36:06.660They give themselves awards and titles, but there are no standards, particularly when it comes to
00:36:12.880non-white candidates. As the evidence of Arday's plagiarism and fabricated stories began to
00:36:18.440circulate, his former students came forward to describe him as a terrible teacher on top of
00:36:23.500everything else. So this is from one of Arde's former students at another school, the University
00:36:28.980of Roe-Hampton. Quote, in the end, Arde gave me 70% from my essay, particularly as Arde had given
00:36:34.620my work no feedback. I asked for a meeting. At Roe-Hampton, marking is blind, so he wouldn't
00:36:40.680have known who'd written which essay. In our meeting, I explained that 70% was a low mark for
00:36:46.120me and asked him to provide feedback. Suddenly, his friendly, confident demeanor changed. I now
00:36:51.120saw a side of him I'd never seen before, angry but also scared. R.A. implied that I was racist
00:36:56.360and said that the only reason I wasn't happy with 70% was due to my white privilege.
00:37:01.260He was clearly upset at being questioned, and I ended the meeting as quickly as possible.
00:37:06.700Now, we should say this student who's making these claims is anonymous. The Times in London
00:37:11.220said they verified the student's identity, but it's pretty remarkable that he can't simply come
00:37:15.180out in public with his own name on the op-ed. Even now, after our day has been clearly exposed
00:37:21.480as a fraud, it's still career suicide to speak out against him. Cambridge has put out multiple
00:37:27.300statements denouncing the vile campaign against our day. The midterm elections are heating up,
00:37:34.080congressional control, and President Trump's agenda hangs in the balance. Every headline has
00:37:38.620the potential to shift the odds. In the McKee Senate race, James Tallarico is currently trading
00:37:43.320at 52% to beat Ken Paxton. That means a $100 trade pays out over $180 with a win. Use code
00:37:50.620DAILY, D-A-I-L-Y, to get up to $20 when you trade $20. Kalshi, K-A-L-S-H-I. Kalshi trade on
00:37:59.640anything. 18 plus only restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Event contract trading involves
00:38:05.480risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Kalshi products are not available in all
00:38:09.960jurisdictions, prices, values, and available markets may differ from those mentioned. For
00:38:14.560more information, see calci.com slash regulatory. And indeed, now that our day has taken his own
00:38:19.680life, as predicted, black activists are claiming that white racists are responsible. So here's0.98
00:38:25.800one such analysis from somebody calling herself Dr. Shola Moss Shagbamimu. Shagbamimu. That's
00:38:34.940her name beautiful name uh watch this is exactly what you wanted to achieve i told you i knew you0.97
00:38:43.680wanted to kill him or get him killed i hope you are all satisfied now every single one of you1.00
00:38:49.620bloody evil racist you white supremacist waste of freaking human space those of you who jumped1.00
00:38:56.440on this bandwagon to publicly execute him for what who held him to a different standard that1.00
00:39:03.780you hold white people and may you all get exactly what you deserve every single thing you did in
00:39:10.400this last two weeks every single one of you that took pleasure and glee this is exactly what you1.00
00:39:16.940wanted you wanted to kill him and get him killed i hope to god you get everything that you have1.00
00:39:23.780coming to you. Are you happy now? Are you happy now? Are you satisfied? You should all be ashamed0.98
00:39:34.600of yourselves, every single one of you. You are murderers. You are killers.1.00
00:39:43.500Are you happy now? Shogba Mimu asks, are you happy? Well, I can't speak for anyone else,0.99
00:39:49.440but I'll say that I'm not happy. No part of this story makes me happy, but I also feel no pity for
00:39:56.520this guy at all, especially now that he's dead. Because of all the selfish, evil, pathetic things0.99
00:40:04.260this man did, and his was a life filled with selfish, evil, pathetic things, the manner of his1.00
00:40:11.060death surpasses all of it. Now, if you're looking for an explanation as to the psychology behind why
00:40:18.900Jason Arday took the coward's way out, here's your answer. He was a committed pathological
00:40:24.500narcissist to the very end. And he decided that rather than live with the consequences of his
00:40:29.060actions, he wanted to go out as a victim, as a kind of perverse hero for the swarms of black0.98
00:40:34.000activists who are always looking for a reason to attack whites. And that's exactly what he's become.0.97
00:40:39.520Predictable. There's even going to be a march today in Trafalgar Square entitled Vigil for
00:40:45.060Jason Arday, stand against racist witch hunts. Because, of course, you see, when you report on
00:40:51.660black fraudsters, the only conceivable reason for doing so is that you hate black people.0.99
00:40:57.300The implication is that this would never happen to a white guy in academia. But actually,1.00
00:41:01.960white men in academia have had their lives destroyed for far less.
00:41:06.880Strangely enough, to give just one example, there were no marches against racist witch hunts for a
00:41:11.820white school principal in Toronto named Richard Bilksow, who killed himself in 2023. And what was
00:41:18.380his crime? Well, he dared to suggest during a DEI struggle session that Canada is not a racist
00:41:23.280country. And for that crime, he was publicly reprimanded by the superintendent and relentlessly
00:41:28.540accused of white supremacy by his colleagues. He was branded a racist all over social media,
00:41:34.000and eventually he killed himself. Now, Richard Biltzka was not a career fraudster or a criminal
00:41:42.200or a plagiarist. He was a white principal who dared to question the wisdom of anti-white0.90
00:41:46.700propaganda, which he questioned very mildly, by the way. So they destroyed his reputation
00:41:52.200and his career. But he doesn't get any marches or any remembrance. The communists are glad he's
00:41:58.460dead. They celebrated his suicide on social media. The reason Jason Arday is different is that he's0.99
00:42:04.760black. And if people dwell on his fraud too much, they might realize that the underlying rationale0.86
00:42:09.340of DEI is a complete lie. Not to be outdone, the grandmaster of racial grifting himself,
00:42:15.640Ibram X. Kendi, whose real name is Henry Rogers, has decided to weigh in. And that's not surprising
00:42:23.220because as you can see here, Arde and Henry Rogers went to the same DEI stylist to really0.55
00:42:29.000nail the whole like serious but exotic vibe that drives white women crazy. And they have something
00:42:36.320else in common too. They're both fraudsters. Henry Rogers' anti-racism center at Boston0.98
00:42:40.960University was shut down after burning through tens of millions of dollars, which no one can
00:42:45.640trace. And beyond telling black people that they should be racist against whites, Rogers struggled
00:42:50.080to articulate any coherent thoughts whatsoever. And now this same Henry Rogers, a.k.a. Ibram X0.76
00:42:56.200Kendi, is declaring that despite what it looks like, Jason Arday was in fact murdered. Henry
00:43:01.620just wrote a piece entitled, The Media Lynched Jason Arday. And here's how he introduced it.
00:43:07.540Quote, The death of Jason Arday hit so close to home that I had no words yesterday, but I woke up
00:43:12.840with words. To be a prominent anti-racist black scholar is to know you are a target, almost totally
00:43:19.220surrounded by resentments. You know that at any point, the attacks can come like a lynch mob,
00:43:24.700and if you die from all the attacks, the media still calls the attacks on you
00:43:27.980accusations to wash their hands of the blood. Your lynchers announce your death as if they
00:43:33.840had no role in your lynching. Well, Henry, the reason this hits so close to home is that you
00:43:40.380are a despicable fraud also. You have every incentive to accuse our day's critics of murder0.98
00:43:45.880right now because you're desperate to avoid scrutiny yourself. You are an anti-racist
00:43:51.360expert who can't even define the word racism. It's like a veterinarian who doesn't know what
00:43:56.560an animal is. If you never saw this, it's from the so-called Aspen Ideas Festival a few years ago.
00:44:02.860Other than watching Am I Racist? It's the best possible way to sum up the fraud that is Henry
00:44:08.720Rogers as well as the entire DEI grift in general. Watch. You talked about the importance of defining
00:44:15.980racism. How do you define racism? Sure. So racism, I would define it as a collection
00:44:22.460of racist policies that lead to racial inequity that are substantiated by racist ideas.
00:44:30.560sure a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity that are substantiated
00:44:44.920by racist ideas and anti-racism is a pretty simple using the same terms anti-racism is a
00:44:53.180collection of anti-racist policies leading to racial anybody want to take guess equity
00:44:58.140that are substantiated by anti-racist ideas so uh you know racism is when you're racist
00:49:05.820Today, a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy can order an abortion pill online.
00:49:10.080Sometimes before anyone has had the opportunity to tell her that there is another option, Preborn is trying to reach these women first. At Preborn Network Clinics, mothers receive compassion, practical support, and a free ultrasound. And more than 80% of abortion-vulnerable women who see their baby on an ultrasound at a Preborn Network Clinic choose life. Just think about that. For just $28, you can provide one of those ultrasounds. $140 helps rescue five babies.
00:49:36.180It's not an abstract political argument.
00:49:38.300This is a mother seeing her child for the first time and choosing life.
00:49:41.760And through Preborn, it's also an opportunity to share the hope of Jesus Christ with this woman.
00:59:05.640It's not how you maintain any kind of legitimacy.
00:59:08.740presidency. Instead, it's how you concede Nathan Coftus's point. You're making his argument for
00:59:15.280him. And by the way, just since we're on the subject, it is a simple fact that there are
00:59:20.420average IQ differences between races. That is a fact. Doesn't matter how you feel about it. It's
00:59:24.840true. No credible person denies that. Lots of people who aren't credible do, but no credible
00:59:30.040person does. And the idea that genetics have absolutely nothing to do with those differences
00:59:34.960is just absurd on its face. Of course, there's some genetic, there's no reason to deny the
00:59:40.080genetic component, except if you're worried about the societal implications of that. But
00:59:45.360societal implications, whatever they may be or may not be, have nothing to do with the question
00:59:51.240of whether or not it's factually true. And it is factually true. Keep in mind, according to
00:59:58.640Harvard's own internal 2013 analysis, which was disclosed in litigation, black enrollment at
01:00:03.400Harvard would drop to less than 1% if the admissions office stopped practicing anti-white
01:00:09.080discrimination, otherwise known as affirmative action, and if they judged candidates based on
01:00:13.640academic merit alone. With the discrimination, Black enrollment was around 14%. So Covnis is
01:00:21.460obviously correct that universities to this day are giving an enormous benefit to Black applicants,
01:00:27.240although they can't articulate why exactly they're doing that. This is very much a live issue. This
01:00:32.960kind of discrimination has continued even after the Supreme Court ruled that Harvard's affirmative
01:00:37.400action is unconstitutional. So we should be able to debate issues like this without fear of being
01:00:43.200silenced or terminated. Instead, leftist academics are shutting down any kind of dialogue, even as
01:00:49.260they're openly selecting students and faculty solely on the basis of race. And in the process,
01:00:54.420they're destroying what is left of the education system. This is an extraordinary op-ed that was
01:00:59.600just published in the San Francisco Standard. It's written by a calculus teacher at Berkeley,
01:01:03.560one of the top universities in the nation, allegedly. Quote, I teach mathematics at UC
01:01:08.980Berkeley. Three days a week, I stand in front of lecture halls with 500 to 1,400 students.
01:01:14.120By the second week of the semester, I already know who's in trouble. Some students are five
01:01:18.760to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours that should be spent discussing integrals
01:01:23.380instead become lessons on fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to learn in
01:01:29.180middle school. Now, the professor notes that from 2018 to 2020, more than 70% of students at Berkeley
01:01:36.820tested as ready or nearly ready for calculus prior to enrolling in calculus class. After Berkeley
01:01:44.000changed its admissions policies so that standardized tests were no longer relevant,
01:01:48.860that number dropped all the way down to 44%. So in other words, in the quest to achieve equity,
01:01:56.240Major universities, students and faculty have become dramatically less capable and intelligent all over the world.
01:02:03.580We all knew this was happening, of course, but it's notable that a San Francisco newspaper and a Berkeley professor, of all people, are coming out and admitting it.
01:02:13.200It's a big change from just a few years ago.
01:02:16.420DEI has become an embarrassment to every institution that practices it.
01:02:19.900so despite what cambridge and henry rogers and other black activists are trying to say about
01:02:25.680jason arday the truth is most people are not falling for it dei was always bound to lead to
01:02:33.260increasingly bizarre and humiliating outcomes because by its very nature it only selects for
01:02:38.060candidates who are both unqualified and shameless and after all you have to be totally shameless to
01:02:43.180accept accolades that you clearly don't deserve and as dei's reputation circles the drain an even0.76
01:02:49.320greater degree of shamelessness is required to participate in the sham. So we'll continue to get
01:02:56.060more and more stories like Jason Arde's, except somehow they'll be even more absurd and
01:03:00.700unbelievable. The insanity will have to ratchet up even further. This is what the death throes
01:03:08.360of DEI looks like. Just a few years ago when we produced Am I Racist, this moment seemed many
01:03:13.900years off, maybe even decades. But with the comically preposterous rise and fall of Jason
01:03:20.100Arday and the subsequent freakout by deranged black activists, it's fair to say that the fall0.91
01:03:26.400of DEI is already upon us. Or as Jason Arday might've said, if he were still with us, observing0.57
01:03:34.200the public humiliation of a once great university because of his own rampant dishonesty, now I am
01:03:40.520become death, the destroyer of DEI. And people would say, wait, Jason, are you quoting Oppenheimer,
01:03:48.480Hindu scripture? And he'd respond that no, he was being totally original.
01:03:53.400Completely thought of that line himself this morning when he was brushing his teeth.
01:03:58.220And somewhere in a faculty lounge deep in the bowels of Cambridge University, a white liberal
01:04:02.600woman would break down to tears at the sheer originality of Jason Arde, the premier Cambridge
01:04:07.480academic, the exemplar of everything academia stands for, taken from us far too soon.
01:04:16.180Now, before we go, we just finished a real history episode on the Watergate scandal. There's a lot
01:04:20.820of information in it. Like when the FBI went into the Watergate complex to check for bugs after the
01:04:26.320break-in, they didn't find any. One of the burglars apparently had access to the DNC offices.
01:04:31.540Another had a key to the desk inside. All of them were connected to the CIA. All of that and a lot
01:04:37.320more is in this episode, which you have to see. It comes out for all Daily Wire subscribers on
01:04:40.900Wednesday. Here's the trailer. In all of my years of public life, I have never profited from public
01:04:49.260service. I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not
01:04:54.500their president's a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. For more than five decades, from Iran-Contra to
01:05:00.120Monica Lewinsky to Russiagate, every political scandal has been measured against one, the
01:05:04.960Watergate affair. But what if Richard Nixon was telling the truth? What if
01:05:09.580Watergate isn't what it seems? What if hundreds of thousands of pages of sworn
01:05:14.020testimony, memoirs, and newly released government documents tell a different
01:05:18.280story than the one you learned in school? In 1972, Nixon won the biggest electoral
01:05:24.320landslide in modern American history with grand plans to remake the federal
01:05:28.540government. Two years later, he was out of office. You were taught that Nixon's
01:05:32.920men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to spy on his
01:05:36.600political opponents. You were taught that when he found out, Nixon covered it up,
01:05:41.300and that the cover-up was worse than the crime. You were taught that two heroic
01:05:46.840Washington Post reporters, guided by a righteous FBI whistleblower, brought the
01:05:51.980most powerful man in the world to justice. But you were never taught what really happened.
01:05:56.800I shall resign the presidency, effective at noon tomorrow.
01:05:59.800The Real History of the Watergate Scandal is available now on Daily Wire+.
01:06:04.200You got to watch the episode. You don't want to miss it. You're going to learn a lot.
01:06:11.800Lifetime and All Access members get early access and can watch right now, though, so go do that.
01:06:16.980And in the meantime, have a great day. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
01:06:20.340your country is beneath contempt we who love and serve Allah fought back against the Americans
01:06:36.200and the Zionists from the scourge of secularism and the lands of unbelief
01:06:41.340Anyone going to listen to Captain Saunders tomorrow?
01:06:49.580The retired Delta Force soldier with a new book out.0.87
01:06:53.180He's the polar opposite of those brain-dead protesters.
01:06:56.220Given the current climate, should Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus?
01:06:59.480Mr. Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman.
