Correspondent Hodding Carter investigates the life and political career of presidential candidate David Duke in this 1992 PBS hit-piece. It explores Duke’s alleged troubled childhood, his intellectual journey into "the extremist ideology of the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan", and the effort to reshape his image so he could run as a national figure in the Republican party.
Back in 2016, White nationalist John De Nugent offered $150 for information on Jared Taylor's wife, specifically in the form of this documentary. The woman Evelyn Rich, who you see in this film criticizing Duke, is Jared Taylor's wife. Given Jared's notorious reputation for avoiding speaking on the Jewish question, John stated "I've been wondering about his daughters lately..."
Concerned and in a fit of rage, Evelyn wrote a lengthy letter to the SPLC, asking for it to be published, stating "My daughters are off limits!" She then went on to say in the letter that she is not Jewish by race or religion.
In 2006, Duke attended Taylor's American Renaissance conference, apparently "uninvited". After a speech on race realism by Phillipe Rushton, David Duke got in line for a question regarding how Europeans excel in certain areas that East Asians don't despite Whites having a lower average IQ by around 4 points. During the question, he referenced portions of a book called Why Race Matters by Michael Levin, stating the answer to his question may be due to Whites having higher testosterone levels. Levin is a Jew who was also attending the event. "I didn't say that!" objected Jew Levin, annoyed with Duke's take on his work.
"I'm actually surprised Dr. Levin disagrees" said Rushton, who concurred with Duke. "Or maybe it's just the person asking the question he disagrees with."
The next year, Duke attended AmRen again and an incident occurred that would later be dubbed the infamous "AmRen Jewish enemy incident". He approached the mic again for a question after a speech by French Nationalist Guilamme Faye. Before getting to the heart of his question, in typical Duke fashion, he went on a lengthy tangent naming the Jew. Of course, he did it subliminally using dogwhistles, knowing Jared Taylor does not permit this kind of speech at his events.
A selection of the crowd in attendance that day were supporters of long-time Duke friend Don Black's StormFront, the world's biggest White nationalist online forum, which is highly critical of Jews. Sensing Duke was onto something, one StormFront attendee called out "Tell us!"
"No, no, that's not this convention" chuckled David Duke to uproarious laughter.
Then, without warning, a Jewish astrophysicist named Michael Hart who was also in attendance, stood up and screamed "You're a fucking Nazi and you've disgraced this meeting!"
Appearing perplexed and taken aback, David Duke responded that he was trying to be as polite as possible. Jew Hart stormed from his seat, passing Duke at the mic and screamed once again in his face, "You're a fucking Nazi and you've disgraced this meeting!" while heading for the exit.
"Lousy Jew", someone called out as Hart left the venue.
"Do you have a question Mr. Duke?", pressed Jared.
Duke proceeded with his question and Jared finished the meeting as amicable and professional as possible. He would afterwards contact Duke and explain that he was too controversial a figure and was no longer welcome at any future AmRen gatherings. He also published an article apologizing to the Jewish friends of American Renaissance.
