note: the choice of English and continental Europeans is not explicitly mentioned in the transcript and appears to be what the New Right listener implicitly understood as the American ethnos

The first settlers in my state were mostly Scots-Irish—a hard, proud, fiercely independent people, forged in the hills of Ulster and the backwoods of Appalachia, ideally suited to life on the edge of civilization. They were the ancestors—as it just so happens—of my friend and our vice president, JD Vance. As the historian David McCullough writes, the Scots-Irish families that first settled Missouri “saw themselves as the true Americans”: Their idol was Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory of Tennessee, ‘One-man-­with-­courage-­makes-­majority’ Jackson, the first president from west of the Alleghenies … Their trust was in the Lord and common sense. That they and their forebears had survived at all in backwoods Kentucky—or earlier in upland Virginia and the Carolinas—was due primarily to ‘good, hard sense,’ as they said, and no end of hard work.

We see that in many of the countries of Europe today, where the immigration crisis threatens to transform the ancient fabric of those nations—and all who object are menaced by an increasingly totalitarian censorship stat

Germany existed as a political entity since 843 (with maybe a couple of temporary breaks in the Napoleonic era and right before unification), just not as a unitary nation-state in the modern sense.

But there was a Kingdom of Germany from 843 to 1806 (it was the main constituent part of the Holy Roman Empire), and there was a German Confederation from 1815 to 1866.
