Episode Details

Scott Bennett, author of The Shell Game (a copy of which he bestowed on Tucker Carlson) discusses the midterm elections, our participation in the Towards Tomorrow Seminar with former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and much more. Below is an excerpt from the interview.

Kevin Barrett: Your take on the EU then is quite different from that of the EU's top foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, who raised some eyebrows a few weeks ago when he said "Europe is a garden and most of the rest of the world is a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden." But there might be a little bit of truth to that (especially) if we imagine (as you've said) that these mRNA vaccines are indeed going to depopulate us to a certain extent, slowing our fertility. Fertility is already so low in the European world, and it's down to just about replacement in North America. So with or without the effect of COVID, there is a differential between, say, African fertility, which is still quite high, and fertility in the U.S. and North America and Europe, which is much, much lower. And then if you factor in the mRNA vaccines and COVID, neither COVID nor the vaccines hit Africa very much. And then there are other countries in Asia as well with with somewhat higher birth rates than the West. So this garden versus jungle metaphor, of course, was very politically incorrect and and very arrogant. And of course his championing the EU is quite ridiculous, as you suggested. However, there is that demographic angle that maybe needs to be addressed.

Scott Bennett: Yeah, well, we studied this when I was back at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC, way back in 2003 to 2008: the population winter coming and the demographic failure in Europe and America. And it's only gotten worse. And there's the other thing I've studied that's doomed the West, Kevin (as opposed to) what I saw when I was in the Middle East: There's such a preservation of feminine, delightful women, and they're rejoicing in their feminine gifts and being women and being wives and mothers and being real girls in the most classical feminine sense. And there's no oppression of women, there's no brutality, there's...there's harmony.

Kevin Barrett: You're saying there are still two different separate genders. Is that legal?!

Scott Bennett: Yes. There's a complementariness that I was so refreshed to see. I loved talking with the young Muslim women that were at the conference. They're very, very genteel and polite and everything beautiful that women are that has been preserved in their culture. In America, we have a complete abomination. The Feminine Mystique (by Betty Friedan). Karl Stern wrote about it in The Flight from Woman. George Gilder wrote about it in Men and Marriage and Sexual Suicide in the West. Since 1960, there has been a slow degeneration, decay and destruction of the feminine ideal of women as mothers and wives and their gentleness and serenity. Women exist in an emotional state for a reason, because God made them this way for the harmony of humanity. And we in the West have polluted and corrupted and deformed and and tried to rip women out of their natural state. It's like taking a fish out of the ocean and putting, you know, paper wings on it and saying, Now you're a bird. Well, it ain't going to work. And we've seen that it doesn't work, with the ferocity and anger and feminism and hatred of men and divorce that have grown in the last 30 years in America and its culture and pop culture.

And we have an amazingly toxic environment in this country that makes the natural love and attraction between men and the women, and the natur
