Hello, friends. Welcome to another edition of Renaissance Radio.
And I have with me Paul Kersey for another discussion about the week's events.
And what do you think is the most outstanding event so far this week, Brother Kersey?
Well, I think, Jared, the most important event that we can look to just happened in Columbus, Ohio, the capital of the great state of Ohio, whose Governor John Kasich during the primaries was flabbergasted that Donald Trump would dare mention how frightening our refugee policy was and how we wanted to cut down on...
About a year ago, actually, Jared, San Bernardino happened.
And that's when Donald Trump famously said, we've got to stop all Muslim immigration until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
Well, fast forward to 11-28-16.
We still don't know what the hell is going on, except for the fact that Muslim refugees are attacking American citizens.
Yes, I think on the contrary, we do know what's going on.
And in this case, an 18-year-old Somali named Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who's been in the United States since 2014, As everybody now knows, he went up on the sidewalk with his car, hit six people, and then went out on a stabbing frenzy and managed to stab five people.
Of this number, one was killed.
Now, the press, as you can imagine, has been very hesitant to say anything about the motive, you know, because he didn't cry Allahu Akbar.
I wish he'd cried that at the top of his voice, but they would have ignored that.
They would have said this was just some sort of...
I don't know. A warm-up exercise for deep breathing if he'd done that.
But apparently he's been saying on his Facebook page, I wanted to pray in the open, but I was kind of scared with everything going on in the media.
In the media! Fancy that!
I'm a Muslim. It's not what the media portrays me to be.
Well, for heaven's sake, he has just certainly given the media an opportunity to portray Muslims in their usual kindly light.
Anyway, he says Americans have Islamophobia, and he says the media are to blame.
Anyway, I think it's fascinating that Ohio State University is a gun-free zone.
But they did have a campus cop not far away who opened fire.
But this is one of those occasions in which I would prefer the perp not be killed.
You know why? Well, because you want to find out exactly his rationale.
You want to find out the reasoning. You want to actually have cross-examination and a trial.
So he's forced, as we're seeing...
You know, it is important where I understand what you're saying, not be killed.
However, this guy was a threat.
This guy, I think we're going to find out that he does have a history of leaving posts like the ones you just mentioned on Facebook.
And there's an important point that is fascinating what you just said.
A white cop killed this guy.
And there was a... I can't remember the guy's name.
Tariq Nasid. I think he's a black...
He's involved in Hollywood.
And he pointed out on Twitter...
I don't know if he was being ironic or not, but he said, ah, so a white cop kills a black Somali Muslim refugee and he's the hero.
And he said that trying to show, once again, that black lives don't matter.
And it is going to be fascinating to see what the media reaction is.
Although today, just one day removed, this story is kind of eerie.
It's almost completely gone, except for, as I know you want to bring up, The backlash stories we're seeing nationwide, where people are worried, the press is now worried, oh gosh, is there going to be a backlash against the Muslim community?
Somali community braces for backlash nationwide.
That's right. That's NPR's big story for today.
We're not looking into any of his motivation.
We've gone beyond that.
Despite the fact that apparently just three minutes before the rampage, he put up a post on Facebook saying, I can't take it anymore.
America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially the Muslim Ummah.
The Ummah, of course, is the community of believers all around the world.
He says, we are not weak.
We are not weak.
Remember that. And then he goes on a rampage.
Well, no, as you say, now we're no longer interested in this anymore, and it's a pity that he has not survived to stand trial.
A trial would have kept this in the public mind for months and months.
These trials sometimes take a year, two years.
It would have been great to bring this guy back, put him on the front pages day after day, explaining why he did what he did.
Well, and... What's fascinating about Columbus, Ohio, not only is it the capital of Ohio, a state whose governor was mortified that Trump would even bring up stopping these refugees, because he's said all along that diversity is our strength, they help our community. Columbus is enriched by this.
You look at a place like Minneapolis, where all these stories always come out about Somali refugees.
It always says... A Minneapolis person has joined ISIS. A Minnesotaan has joined ISIS. You're like, wait a second, that's not true.
There's Somali refugees. Our view of citizenship, it's so insane at this point.
The idea of the franchise and suffrage and the fact that someone fresh, this guy, he's from Somalia by way of Pakistan in 2014 comes here and automatically he's just as American as you or I or any of the founding fathers or any of the great men of history, the great women of our great history.
You know, one of the stories I remember last year that stuck with me about how bad crime is in the Somali community in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, they were actually going to have midnight soccer programs, just like we have midnight basketball programs for blacks, as if this is going to keep them from a life of crime.
Because crime is so bad in the Somali community in Minneapolis, they're actually getting grants to have midnight soccer.
That's right. That's diversity.
Instead of just midnight basketball, we have midnight soccer.
You know, I guess if we have enough Mexican gang members, we'll have midnight hi-lie.
Yes, anything to keep them off the streets.
Yeah, I think the very first American citizen who has been officially recorded as a suicide bomber was an Al-Shabaab guy in Somalia from Minnesota.
An American. That's right. The first American suicide bomber.
And apparently more than 40 Somalis living in the United States have left the country since 2007 to fight for the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda and Al-Shabaab.
And this is something that you don't hear about much, except for when it happens.
And then very briefly, dozens of them have been caught by various operations.
The FBI has caught them and put them away before they went on the rampage.
So these people are clearly a problem.
Also, on Columbus, there's a story that has been forgotten about, but there was that strange attack that happened earlier this year.
I think it might have actually been a Jewish restaurant.
There was a Somali guy who stabbed four people.
And that was in and out of the news.
That's right. And again, you just...
My goodness, I believe it was American Renaissance that published that fantastic piece about what post...
Post-all-white Minneapolis, once it's been enriched by Somalis, looks like now.
It was a fantastic travelogue of...
Yes, it was a photo essay.
Yes, yes. People don't believe this stuff.
That's one of the great power of publishing a photo essay of that kind.
And you see the way they have transformed what used to be a genuine American city.
Minneapolis, for heaven's sake, right in the heartland is now this Somali capital.
No, it's just extraordinary.
Another thing about this guy, this lovely American Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who is unfortunately now dead and can't be cross-examined about his beliefs, but he also praised this fellow Anwar al-Walaki.
Now, if any of our listeners remember, he was an American-born Al-Qaeda cleric, but this fellow who did the killing and the wounding in Ohio called him a hero.
Now, Al Aulaki, the guy's hero, he's a very curious character.
I remember following him with some interest at the time.
He is a Yemeni born in the U.S., and therefore he had U.S. citizenship.
He spoke great English as well as Arabic, and he became this great recruiter for Al-Qaeda.
He was killed in a drone strike in 2011.
He became the first U.S. citizen to be eliminated that way.
This just goes to show you the strange contradictions we end up with.
Some Yemeni who happens to be born in the United States is now a U.S. citizen.
And this turned some of the legal people into knots over this.
The ACLU is all upset.
You know, it means he was essentially executed.
A U.S. citizen has been executed.
Whether or not put on trial, just killed.
I tend to agree with that.
I'm kind of an old-fashioned stickler for doing things the right way.
But the point is, this guy should never have been a U.S. citizen.
Well, again, it goes back to what we've talked about so many times in this podcast, and that is that if you look at A reasonable interpretation of our history and the Constitution and what it means to be a citizen.
You know, I'm a big fan of the book Starship Troopers because we're actually trying to find what a citizen means.
And guess what our founding fathers did?
I encourage you all.
Again, we talk about it all the time.
The Naturalization Act of 1790.
And unfortunately, Mr.
Anwar al- Al-Awlaki would not have qualified by the views of the Founding Fathers because, well, he wasn't a white guy, and guess what?
He didn't have good character. No, no.
The fact is, this Anwar al-Awlaki, first U.S. citizen to be eliminated by drone strike, he was living in the United States when his son was born.
Yes, Al-Awlaki Jr., 16-year-old boy.
Now, apparently, they decided two weeks later to eliminate him in a drone strike.
This is weird stuff.
Of course, in some respects, Al-Awlaki, although he was an imam living in San Diego, we know about San Diego, don't we?
In San Diego, at that time, he was arrested and fined several times for soliciting prostitutes.
So, no, not only was he non-white, as you point out, he was not a particularly good character either for a whole host of reasons, but he apparently was a great hero to Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who committed the rampage in Ohio.
And what's frightening about what you just said is that now Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the The guy who used his car as a weapon and then had a machete or a knife and attacked American citizens of Ohio State University.
He's going to become a hero, I think, in the eyes of the Somali community, which is already militarized.
I mean, you pointed out, Jared, more than 40 Somalis have traveled out of the country since 2007 to participate in Islamic terror attacks.
And how many... We'll never know.
I'm sure... I'm sure Donald Trump and the nominee for Attorney General Jeff Sessions are going to find out How many attacks have been actually thwarted and how many pending investigations into attacks that the FBI is currently working.
It's going to frighten them and it's only going to emboldened them, I believe, to work harder to do the moratorium on refugee resettlement, which hopefully will be permanent, and then more importantly, stop the legal and temporary visas given to terrorist nations, such as Somalia.
Yes. Over the last eight years, Barack Obama has let in 43,000 Somali refugees.
And the idea that they could be vetted in some meaningful way is just nuts.
We have no way of knowing what people have lived all their lives in Somalia or who, like this Abdul Razak guy, who have come via Pakistan.
We have no way of knowing what they've been up to in those places.
Well, going back, you know, We wouldn't have more than 150,000 people of Somali descent in the United States, refugees brought here, if George W. Bush hadn't also had brought in a lot of refugees.
And there's a fantastic article that I That I read where the United States of America actually has 1.2% of Somalia's 10 million population living within the United States.
It's been brought over here as refugees.
And I want to say it was maybe Breitbart or I read it at Judicial Watch where they broke down the welfare use by Middle Eastern refugees and Somalis were classified as Middle East.
And 90% of those refugees of the, you know, A couple hundred thousand are on welfare.
I think 69% are on cash welfare.
And almost all of those invariably live in some sort of public housing.
AR has done a fantastic job through the years of showing the migration of Somalis to Lewiston, Maine to track down the best welfare.
And of course, then what happens to those states?
The social welfare collapses.
The social capital is Is bankrupted.
And you've got a situation then where the crime and the lower standard of living, and more importantly, just the stress on the community becomes so great that invariably you're going to have people complain.
And the natural reaction from our press is to call those who dare complain about the enrichment of diversity.
They're obviously a racist.
Well, see, that is one of my great hopes for this new administration.
Unlike the current administration or any Democratic administration we can imagine, I think a Republican administration could look into those facts, look into who's getting welfare, who's getting handouts, who's coming across the border and putting his foot in the public trough right away and keeping it there.
All of that stuff, I think, could be publicized in a big way, and you can also go about really policing these programs.
This is something that can be done without any legislation at all, just making sure that the rules are followed.
I'm really looking forward, and I'm hoping that people like Jeff Sessions and Chris Kobach are really going to look into what's happening and really start tightening the screws and publicizing what's happening.
There are a lot of people out there, Jared, who have this crazy notion that somehow American Renaissance or other...
Alt-right sites have an influence on public policy, which is just absolute nonsense.
Anybody associated with a Trump administration, a Republican, they probably say, who?
When they were asked by the press, have you heard about these people?
And they'd be right to. However, having a guy like Steve Bannon on board at Breitbart, who is intimate, With the findings of some really great beltway organizations.
Judicial Watch is, in my opinion, the most important organization out there that's publicizing what you just said.
The welfare use by illegal immigrants that are on the public dole.
And going one step further...
Donald Trump came out and he's taken a lot of heat for saying, a lot of people voted illegally, and if they hadn't voted, I would have won the popular vote.
Well, guess what? We do know that that's the case, and guess what?
I believe that one of the first things Mr.
Trump is going to push through, of course, he can only propose this, and then the Republicans have to actually push it through legislation.
Is to do some sort of national voter ID law, which would completely change the game.
Completely change the game.
We would then find out how many millions of illegals are voting in places like Arizona, Texas, Georgia, California, New York, Illinois, where you have these massive sanctuary cities where people can go and then who knows what happens to their citizenship.
Well, I suppose you will accuse me of being a naive, brainwashed by the mainstream media.
I'm not entirely convinced that millions of people voted who were unauthorized to vote.
I'm open-minded about this.
I'd like to see the evidence, and as you say, if there is some sort of national standard, that would be a huge step forward.
But to get back to this Somali terrorist attack, and I think it's unquestionably a terrorist attack, it's precisely the kind of thing that ISIS has been saying to Muslims all around the world to do.
If you've got a car, I mean, that's what happened in Nice.
This guy drove a truck and killed, what was it, over 100 people.
And this guy, his kill count was only one, but he did exactly the same thing.
ISIS says if you've got a car, use it.
If you've got a knife, use it. Go out there and just wreak the worst mayhem you possibly can.
So, I think this is unquestionably a Muslim-inspired terrorist attack.
But, as you mentioned earlier, National Public Radio's big story for today is Muslim community fears backlash.
Oh, the poor dears.
You know what that reminds me of?
Remember when Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood shooting in 2009, he killed 13 people.
I can't remember, maybe 30 more were wounded.
That's right. Right after that, General Casey, Army Chief of Staff, highest guy, highest uniformed officer in the entire U.S. military, he says, our diversity, not only in our army but in our country, is a strength.
And as horrible as this tragedy was, he's talking about the Fort Hood killing, If our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse.
So, right, diversity coming under a cloud is worse for this General Casey than 13 service members killed by a uniformed Muslim officer.
This kind of thinking is just so incredibly sick.
Jared, if you can find me a better quote that sums up, is a better summation of the thought process of the managerial elite and how you arise and how you're promoted to that level than what General Casey said.
Maybe. No, I can't think of one.
I mean, that quote, it's so important to understand that that is the mindset of someone who has marinated in both public and private life and bought into these ideas.
And they're incapable of breaking out of that paradigm because if they do so, their entire world crumbles.
And you just mentioned being open-minded earlier regarding the whole voting fraud scenario, which, you're right, it could be a case that Trump has once again been bombastic without evidence.
However, in this case, One of the beautiful things that's happened with the whole Trump phenomenon, the Trump effect, is that his vice president, Mike Pence, vice president-elect Mike Pence, has come out and pointed out that if Mr.
Trump's policy had been in place, this Somali attack would have been averted.
And that is, in my mind, Mike Pence is about as GOP establishment as you can get.
And the fact that he immediately came out and With one broad stroke said this would never have happened had Mr.
Trump's policies been in place.
It's reassuring to think that we have an administration coming in that they're American nationalists, which means they're putting the lives of Americans first.
And that's all Americans.
That's all American citizens of all races, of all creeds, of all colors, of all...
I know we continue to have new genders invented every day, but of both sexes.
And that's something that the media will never come out and say.
I mean, you've got people so frightened.
I mean, this guy for some reason said that he was worried about...
Islamophobia from the media.
I mean, what? Where?
Every case we've heard of some Muslim coming out and saying they've been attacked post-Trump's victory, it's turned out to be a hoax.
A very deliberate hoax, which is done to create hatred against Donald Trump and Donald Trump supporters.
You know, at the time of the attacks in 2011, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania downing of the airplane, I thought to myself, well, finally, we're going to look at Muslims.
The country's going to look at Muslims and decide these people are a bad lot.
We don't need any more Muslims.
And I thought that'll just be the first step.
Then they will look at Mexicans maybe, or Haitians, or Somalis, or maybe at El Salvadorans and see how many of them are on welfare, how many of them are criminals.
I thought this was going to be the first step.
How naive I was.
The whole reaction then was just like this NPI story.
Oh, they fear backlash.
We must bend ourselves into pretzels to make sure that there is no backlash and if there is even the slightest hint of a backlash, we lash it down.
But now, thank goodness, 15 years later, 15 years later, we do have an administration that actually is beginning to look at different groups coming to this country and saying, are they good for us?
And as you say, a Republican dyed in the wool, absolutely fully rooted Republican like Mike Pence, who's prepared to think in terms of some groups are not contributing to America.
Maybe this time it will be the first step.
Maybe this time we'll think in terms of which groups are good for us and which groups are not.
It's a real breakthrough. You know, I don't want to give too much away about myself, but I was in college on 9-11.
That did have a big impact.
I decided to do as much as I could in terms of reading about Islam because the only thing I had really ever learned about Islam was the five pillars.
I went to a very good public school system, and that was about it.
I remember right before 9-11 happened, there was kind of a strange movie that came out in 1998 called The Siege.
It starred... Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis.
It was about a Muslim terror attack that destroyed the FBI building in New York City, and then they actually declared martial law, and they put Muslims in internment camps.
And the whole movie was to create this positive feeling about, oh, this is so bad, we can't do this to Muslims.
And at the very end, the Muslim who's supposed to be the hero of the movie, that you're supposed to be sympathetic with, Who's working with the FBI and the CIA turns out to be the main terrorist behind it all.
And I remember thinking when I saw this movie, wait a second.
Hollywood just completely messed up on this.
And then going back three years after the movie came out, the director was interviewed about this and he was worried that the movie was going to be the blueprint for what was going to happen.
So Hollywood was worried they had created this movie that was going to then be the actual narrative for how things were going to unfold after 9-11.
And as we unfortunately know, we dramatically increased Muslim immigration.
Every lesson... That should have been learned from 9-11 was set on fire and it's depressing in a lot of ways.
I think that's the only word to use because all of these attacks could have been averted.
San Bernardino, which happened.
I mean, gosh. Oh, the Times Square bomber, the guys who shot up the recruitment places in Tennessee.
The one that everyone forgot about.
You're right. The one down in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which was.
And all the attacks, I mean...
It's just so sad to think that pragmatic, simple steps, they aren't racist.
They're simply putting the interests of the American people first.
And that in no way, shape, or form can be defined as racist.
Well, of course, that is what the press are doing their best to do, but that accusation of racism is certainly losing its sting.
I think they are just shooting themselves in the foot by claiming that any attempt to keep out Muslims, many of whom are clearly violence prone, is somehow a racist act.
Anyway, no, that was a very significant event, and I'm afraid that it will just drift away like so many of these attacks, and people will forget about it, but there is a kind of a cumulative thing here.
Every time we get one of these people, then that's a little jog to the memory.
Oh yes, there have been a few of these before.
I think more and more Americans are just getting...
But you know, what makes me wonder is, how many Muslims do you think I'm sorry, how many Americans do you think Muslims would have to kill for National Public Radio not to immediately think, uh-oh, Muslims fear backlash.
How many would have to be killed for them to say, finally, keep these swine out?
How many do you think it would take?
The nuclear destruction of a couple cities by a dirty bomb, perhaps?
Perhaps Washington, D.C. and New York City?
No, no. They would say, oh, but that was just half a dozen.
This must not be made to reflect on Muslims in general.
Well, there's one thing that we're not saying, and that is the importance of 9-11 in the Trump campaign.
And when Trump said, and he was attacked by the media, excoriated for pointing out that he saw Muslims dancing in the streets.
Right. And then Ted Cruz came on board and said, well, you know, the whole New York values.
And... Trump responded by pointing out, wrapping himself around 9-11, we came together.
What are you talking about?
And you were saying it might go by the wayside, but you have to go back and look at, Trump was neck and neck with Cruz at that point.
there was still a great possibility that the GOP establishment could have rallied around Cruz,
but Trump completely, well let's put it, let's use an adjective here, he trumped Cruz by wrapping
himself around 9-11 and this whole thing. So I believe that that was a catalyst for a lot of
Trump's mindset for the country, putting America first, and if, as we believe, Mr. Cruz,
Kobosh is going to be the DHS and perhaps America's mayor becomes Secretary of State, which I believe is going to happen.
You've got a guy who was catapulted to worldwide acclaim and fame by the way that he handled the 9-11 incident.
Yes. Well, Trump was in New York at the time, too.
All the people I know who were living there then, it absolutely marked them.
They have not gotten over it at some level.
So, yes, let's hope that they at least have learned a lesson.
And speaking of New York, I'd like to touch briefly on just another story that broke in the news this week.
I think it's a significant one, although it was very, very mildly reported.
And that is... That there are now 295 probationary firefighters who just left the fire academy on November 2nd.
Among them are nine ex-felons.
All minorities, of course.
Because back in 2014, the city of New York was obliged to pay $98 million to settle with black applicants for firefighting jobs who failed the test.
Now, the test was never proven to have any bias at all, but simply the fact that they failed it meant that there was bias.
So what they've done now, not only have they granted extra points for minorities when they take the test, but they still don't get enough to satisfy the bean counters, and so now they are waiving the requirement that firefighters not have a felony record.
So we are slowly sinking into this slough of incompetence and probable criminality.
They have done this because these nine ex-felons, every one of them is a minority, because they need to increase the number of minorities on the force.
And here's what the fire commissioner says.
He says that 22.3% identify as Hispanic and 15.5% is black and quote, that reflects the growing diversity of our department.
Well, you know, this to me is one of the most, I don't know, almost poignant cases of sacrificing efficiency to diversity because, as you probably know, firefighting, certainly in New York City and in a lot of cities around the country, it sort of is a father-to-son sort of thing.
People whose parents were firefighters.
They grew up, the only career they ever wanted was firefighters.
These people lived it.
They dreamed it. And these people are being shoved aside just so they can find somebody who's too dumb to pass the test on his own merits and who might have a criminal record, but they're going to shove them into the firehouse just to have enough non-white faces.
Well, one of my favorite movies growing up was Backdraft with Kurt Russell, and it showed that a spirit accord that exists within the firefighters, that is passed down.
It's about his father dies, and then he becomes a firefighter like his brother, and it just shows what you just said, that fantastic tradition that helps create, let's face it, these public jobs of...
Of these servants who are firefighters, first responders, police officers, ambulance drivers.
These are some of the only middle-class jobs you really have in these cities now.
Yes, and they were filled by people who absolutely wanted to do that.
That's the only thing they wanted to do.
Another thing people don't realize, firefighters, they live in the firehouse.
They are there, I think it's usually, they may be two days on, two days off, that kind of thing.
They live together. And recently, it was a couple of years ago, they found that in New York City, the fire department and the employees were all sort of sorting themselves out so that black people lived together in their firehouses, white people lived together in their firehouses, because things just worked out so much more nice that way.
Well, they had to put a stop to that, of course.
No, no, they've got to be integrated.
But here you have people who aren't smart enough to pass the test, might have felony records, who probably never cared about being a fireman, who are being mixed in with the sons of these Irish guys whose fathers and grandfathers are firemen.
Guess who does the work and guess who just sloughs off?
We've had a number of articles written in American Renaissance by farmen who had seen this kind of transformation, but this is the kind of terrible sacrifice that we make over and over and over in every part of our lives to try to sanctify this completely false myth of diversity.
Well, what's crazy about Newark is that they've been trying to lower the requirements and make the test basically.
Impossible to fail. And still, too many non-white, too many Spanish and blacks were failing.
And you have to go back to your point you just made, which I thought was fantastic, about just the erosion of quality of life when diversity becomes the ultimate goal of the local government, whether it's national, state, or local governance.
And just go back to 2005 in New Orleans when The city had tried to put through all sorts of affirmative action plans to get more black police officers.
And who were the first people to not only abandon their posts but then start looting The stores, and that were blacks.
To me, one of the craziest videos where there's this white reporter from maybe ABC or NBC, and he's in a Walmart, and he sees a black female officer participating in the looting, and she's pushing a cart, and he's like, well, what are you doing, you know?
And then the craziest thing about that whole situation was that Chocolate City Mayor himself, Ray Nagin, tried to get all-expense-paid trips, I think, to Las Vegas for all the first responders and police, and you're sitting there thinking, wait a second.
I think something like 70 to 75% just abandoned their posts.
That's right. They ran away from their jobs.
But no, that was okay. And that was, of course, a signal to everyone far and wide.
You see a policewoman in uniform looting a Walmart.
Well... Boy, you're a fool if you don't join in.
No, this stuff is just...
And we'd be remiss if we didn't bring up 9-11 again and all the firefighters who died trying to put up those fires at the World Trade Centers and who were trying to help those trapped above the 70, 70, 80th floor in both of the buildings.
And then that famous picture that...
Gosh, it is just an amazing moment.
I know you're not partial to a lot of these photos to evoke patriotism, patriotism, but that photo of the three officers raising the flag, which then created that controversy because they tried to retcon the photo.
Put in diversity where it didn't exist.
Yes. They were firemen raising the flag.
That's right. Not officers.
But yes, there was three white guys putting up the flag over the ruins of the World Trade Center.
And when they decided to put up a monument to that scene, they wanted to be one white guy, one black guy, one Hispanic.
And I was very pleasantly surprised when the uproar was such that they had to make the statue realistic.
It turned out to be three white guys.
Too bad, because that's the way it was.
Anyway, we don't have that much time left, but I would like to talk about one of the very important things that Donald Trump can do as soon as he's in office.
And this is one of those situations in which when the other side fails to play by the rules and sets precedence for doing things the wrong way, when we get our chance to, if we choose, not play by the rules, it gives us opportunities we never had before.
And what I'm talking about, of course...
It's these executive amnesties that Donald Trump poured through.
DACA, in particular, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which was passed in 2012.
I didn't realize that Barack Obama announced it specifically on the 30th anniversary of the 1982 US Supreme Court decision of Plyler versus Doe that ruled that students in the country illegally Cannot be denied a K-12 education.
I think it was a Texas district that was saying, okay, you're not here legally.
We're going to charge you for this.
You can't come. But no, the Supreme Court said anybody who is here can get it.
Well, what Barack Obama decided is that, okay, on the 30th anniversary of that, By means of DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, what he meant was that he was going to give a two-year relief from deportation to certain people who had come to the United States illegally before their 16th birthday, who were born after the 15th of June 1981, had completed high school and had no criminal record.
In other words, amnesty for these guys, at least for two years.
But then going to give them a work permit, a social security number, and say that they could get driver's license.
This is essentially an executive amnesty.
If I could say one thing real quick here.
There's some Supreme Court cases you just never learn about.
Shelley vs. Kramer is one that most people aren't aware of, which effectively destroyed freedom of association, which is the only freedom that matters.
Without that, you have no other freedoms.
It's really that simple. Yeah, you can buy a gun.
Great. What good is that if you don't have freedom?
Who can you actually live around and who you can sell property to?
When you look at Plyler vs.
Doe... This basically is an invitation to the entire world to get here and then have children so that their children...
Yeah, guess what? Yeah, you get free.
You don't have to pay. You don't have to pay taxes then.
That's right. You look at something like this and you realize...
What point is there to be an American citizen?
What benefit is there at this point?
Exactly. And the rot goes back very far.
1982, the Supreme Court was saying, you can be dropped out of a helicopter.
You can be a Martian.
You can probably not even be a human being.
But if you walk into a grade school, they've got to teach you.
If you're here, they've got to teach you.
No, it's extraordinary. But now, with this DACA business, there have been more than 1,500,000 applications Of which 94% have been accepted.
That means there are 1,450,000 of these people who were brought illegally into the country as children who have got basically amnesty.
Now since this was done simply by Barack Obama Passing a new regulation, this is something that could be undone on the first day that Donald Trump steps into office.
Now, because he has talked about undoing some of these crazy executive amnesties, of course all of the universities around the country who have welcomed these DACA, these dreamer types as they call them, there are an estimated 700,000 people benefiting from this amnesty who are in universities now.
And 250 college presidents signed a letter calling for the continuation of DACA because, quote, it is a moral imperative and a national necessity.
If I could look at the math real quick, so all that we're talking about has been since 2012, and of the 1,450,000 people who were accepted, we're stating here that roughly 50% of those were of age when they came and they were granted this amnesty.
They're now in college, so they were basically freshmen in high school.
To seniors from 2012 so then they'd be entering.
That's an astounding number.
It is astounding. It's basically colonization, folks.
It really is. I'll say.
I'll say. But, of course, you know, if Donald Trump is serious about it, we now have all sorts of information on these people.
When they make their application, well, not only did they make their application, but they all paid a $495 fee to apply.
That was one way of thwarting Congress.
Congress said, well, we're just not going to vote funds for this.
Well, what Obama did was make the regulations such that the process was more or less self-funding so that the Republicans could not defund this executive amnesty.
In any case, we know where they live.
They now have these social security numbers.
If Donald Trump is serious, at the very least, he would go about deporting, I think, to great fanfare, at least any of these people who got out in public and say, I'm illegal and I'm going to fight for the rights of immigrants.
That would be, I think, an enormously important symbolic thing that he could do.
You just said something that is one of those really powerful acts that could be done.
I can't think of the guy's name, the illegal alien who goes on TV all the time and brags about being here.
Yes, I can't remember. I can't think of his name.
That's inconsequential because who cares about his name?
He shouldn't be here. Peter Brumlow, VDR, has always argued that what you do when they give a press conference, you simply send some officers in, you go up on stage, you arrest the gentleman or the senorita who is giving the speech, and it's over.
They're gone. They're out. See ya.
Sayonara. That's right. And that would really send a message.
Only have to do it two or three times, and we won't hear from any more of them ever again.
Well, going back to why these colleges are so adamant about making sure this happens, you know, college at this point, I don't know, you graduated college, I guess, back in the...
Early 70s. Early 70s.
You know, college was still about educating at that point.
Now college, all public and private universities exist.
Well, not so much private, but public universities exist to increase enrollment.
So their federal aid continues to go further.
And of course, you want to get the diversity points because you have so many...
Institutions that rate your university now even checking to see diversity of student body as a metric for measuring your ranking.
And college is such a scam.
People were upset about Trump University where he settled out of court.
I mean, there should be class action lawsuits against every major school at this point for what they're teaching.
And the amount of student loan debt that individuals are then saddled with that is virtually...
You can't repay it.
And it's keeping so many Americans from...
Participating in the economy and really kick-starting.
If you think about what student loan debt represents, it inhibits so many people from purchasing houses and making large-term investments that would really generate amazing economic growth for banks and for individuals and for actually creating a lot more wealth.
Yes, but in terms of the finances of this, if DACA is repealed, most of these 250 college presidents are saying, okay, if this means that all of these illegal students who were benefiting from in-state tuition Are now considered out of state.
Then they're going to get university finances to make up the difference.
For them, we'll make up the difference.
So if they've been paying $9,000 and out of state is $35,000, well, they're going to come up with the, what, $26,000 difference.
It'll come from university funding.
Where does that stuff come from?
But once again, once again, ordinary Americans, taxpayers, people who play by the rules, are being sacrificed in the interest of people who did not play by the rules.
I was on a flight recently and I was wearing a Make America Great Again hat, the white variety.
I need to get the red hat because that's apparently the one that is so synonymous with Mr.
Trump. And someone said, hey, you know, I'm a big Trump supporter.
My brother's a bigger supporter.
And I said, well, why is that?
He goes, well, he's attending school in New Mexico and he's getting a degree in engineering that's only available at this school.
And he has to pay out-of-state tuition.
And he's really upset because all these illegal aliens, they immediately qualify for in-state tuition.
And it really, that was one of the first times that, you know, just some ordinary, fantastic American who creates small talk on a plane, you realized how this whole evil system, and it really is an evil system, what we just talked about here, the DACA, that's evil.
That's putting the interest of non-Americans ahead of American and in the education system.
And you realize that that one little story, that one little anecdote, It put it all into perspective about the Trump phenomenon.
You know, people want to say, oh, it's about, you know, it's about resurgence of racism and hatred of Muslims.
No, it's really about fairness.
And that really might be the one word that describes Trump and this whole Trump phenomenon.
And it's simply make America fair again for everyone.
I agree. I couldn't agree more.
I couldn't agree more. And very decent, well-meaning, ordinary Americans who don't think in racial terms, but they do think in terms of fairness.
They see this, and this is wrong.
Somebody waltzes across the border and gets in-state tuition.
Somebody waltzes across the border and goes on welfare or gets public housing.
What the heck is this?
It's amazing, really, that more Americans haven't gone postal under something like this.
If you yourself are suffering and you see this kind of benefit handed out to somebody who's not even in the country legally.
Now, there is something people say about this, that no of these people were brought.
They weren't aware of it.
They were children when they were brought.
Look, to me, it's like accepting stolen goods.
Their parents stole a benefit.
They stole it from you and me, and they gave it to their children.
It's still a stolen benefit.
It's like accepting stolen goods.
These children are just as guilty.
Too bad. They didn't. It was not their decision, but they are unjustified and unjustifiable beneficiaries of an act of theft.
So I have no sympathy for that argument.
It comes back to the fantastic quote from Red Dawn, because we live here.
It's really that simple.
If you want to go with Glenn Beck and pass out teddy bears to these people in soccer balls, fine, go ahead.
But you know what? That doesn't mean that we're going to have to then empathize with their struggle and sacrifice.
Sacrifice the future of American, your children and grandchildren and nieces and nephews of people listening to this podcast just because of what the mainstream media portrays, these dreamers and these DACA individuals.
And, you know, going back to what you just said about Make America Fair Again and the whole Somali situation kind of bring things full circle.
You go back to what the governor of Minnesota said in early February, maybe January of 2016, when people were complaining about all the welfare that the Somalis, that these refugees are given.
And he said, well, we have too many B-plus citizens.
We need this.
And that's the only other quote from what General Casey said that we talked about earlier, where that contempt that the managerial elite really have for everyday Americans and for this enrichment, for this diversity that has to be pumped into the country because somehow we don't have a vibrant, vital community. An empowered citizenry.
And that quote about B plus citizens, go find another state.
There is no other state.
Every state has been targeted for resettlement of unassimilable refugees who then force you to assimilate to their quality of life.
And does this guy think that somehow bringing in people who don't speak English, who have no salable skills, who practice a bizarre religion, this is going to raise the grade?
These people are A-plus citizens for some reason?
Where does this idea even come from?
It's just astonishing.
And so on that note of astonishment, I think we will call it a day on this broadcast.
And I look forward to seeing you again next week for yet another Radio Renaissance.
