Digest

Jeremy Carl, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, joins Andrew Klaven to discuss his book "The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism is Tearing America Apart." Carl argues that white Americans are increasingly treated as second-class citizens due to anti-white racism, citing examples in affirmative action, job applications, healthcare, and entertainment. He contends that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, while intended to address real problems, has been distorted by subsequent legislation and court decisions, leading to unintended consequences. Carl also criticizes the Great Society programs, arguing that they have exacerbated racial tensions and contributed to a demographic transformation of America. He believes that the left's focus on identity politics has created a climate where white people are seen as the problem, and that this has led to a rollback of policies that once promoted equality. Carl emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing anti-white racism, including open discussion, political organization, and a willingness to call out racist policies. He also discusses his experience working in the Trump administration, highlighting the reality distortion field that exists in Washington, D.C., and the hostility he faced from the media and political opponents. Carl concludes by expressing his support for President Trump and his belief that he is the best candidate to address the challenges facing America.
