	Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest edition of Radio Renaissance.
	As usual, it's been a fascinating week.
	And with us in the studio to analyze this fascinating week is our regular guest, Paul Kersey.
	I'm glad to be back.
	I had to miss the last one because I was in Washington, D.C.
	doing a broadcast for the Voice of America.
	I'm not often called upon to do that, but when I am, I step lively.
	I like to be the Voice of America.
	It's a voice that Twitter doesn't think you deserve to hear, but the Voice of America appears to think that I'm fit to be broadcast all around the world.
	Mr. Taylor, not only is it a voice that Twitter has silenced, you were one of the first people that YouTube silenced.
	And we're not going to talk about the subject of the technocratic, elite, censoring, dissident voices, but I think it's important to note that one of the first videos they decided to go after was, I believe it was, your video on race and IQ.
	That's correct.
	That's correct.
	When they started the campaign of quarantining videos, not actually pulling them off as if we were kiddie porn or something like that, ours was perhaps the very first one to get put into the gulag.
	But yes, I'm delighted to be back and delighted to have Paul Kersey with me.
	And one of the first things we'd like to talk about is this process whereby Nicholas Cruz, the Lakeland shooter, seems to have escaped the attention of law enforcement.
	And apparently it goes back to something in 2013 called the Collaborative Agreement on School Discipline that was formulated in Broward County.
	Broward County, Florida had an unenviable record of high frequency of school arrests And they were upset about this because they were concerned that these arrests, these disciplinary proceedings were making people less likely to graduate from high school, less likely to go on to college, less likely to go to jail, you know, the school-to-jail pipeline that we're all supposed to be worried about.
	And one of the most significant whereas clauses with which this agreement was introduced pointed out that students of color We're most likely to fall afoul of this and most likely to be in trouble with the law.
	So the idea was we're going to solve the problem by simply not arresting these students, not putting their offenses on their records.
	And this is going to stop right then and there.
	The school And this appears to have been something that probably inspired Barack Obama and Eric Holder because at that time, about a year later, they issued school guidelines such that if a school was suspending or disciplining students of color at a higher rate,
	Then, white students.
	This is the classic disparate impact thing, of course.
	You can have a disciplinary procedure that is absolutely objective across the board.
	If you're found with a stick of marijuana, you go home.
	Well, if that seems to affect black children more often than white children, then, according to the Obama administration, that was going to be disparate impact, and that would subject you to a Department of Justice and a Department of Education civil rights investigation.
	Any statistic that can, you know, any individual statistic that can be aggregated to show a collective disparate impact on Blacks, Hispanics, obviously it's white racism and the so-called buzzwords we use a lot around here, structural inequalities, implicit bias, that must be at play of a white supremacist structure.
	We're not going to get to talk about it today, Black Panther, but I will tell you this, Mr. Taylor, There's a phrase in the movie that they use to call white people.
	They call them colonizers, as if that's a derogatory term.
	And at the website Very Smart Brothers, there's verysmartbrothers.com, they're actually debating right now, should they start calling white people colonizers?
	Now I actually think this type of language, this type of invective is going to start seeping into pop culture.
	Why I bring that up is, you never see this type of disparate impact Discussion and debate brought up when you talk about the over-representation of blacks and say a sporting field or in Whether it's the NBA whether there's an NCAA sport like basketball men's basketball men's football or football But this story has been so fascinating to watch because the reaction before we started this podcast we were talking about the reaction to the Parkland shooting and just how
	In lockstep the media has been pushing this agenda and you've had so few people.
	The only person that I've seen really push back on this outside of Ann Coulter and her excellent column is Rush Limbaugh.
	He spent an entire episode, to his credit, an entire episode discussing this promise program and of course how it was shaped by Robert Runcie who is the superintendent of the Broward County School System.
	He might actually have that title executive.
	You know you see that title thrown around now in a lot of The major school systems.
	In Prince George's County in Maryland, the person who's in charge is called the executive.
	But my point is, all of these programs that they try on the beta stage, where they do it in a school system like Chicago Public Schools, which, correct me if I'm wrong, I think Chicago Public Schools is 97-98% non-white.
	I mean, it does not look like America, so you would imagine that everybody who gets in trouble is either black or Hispanic, because all the white kids, they go to private schools.
	But when you implement this now, of course, you're basically making these schools so dangerous.
	This is what conservative treehouse Mr. Taylor noted that protected Trayvon Martin.
	A lot of people thought, from having a record.
	Right, right.
	Well, no, the point is, this seems to have been pioneered by Broward County.
	And as a result of simply not calling the police, simply treating these things as administrative rather than criminal matters, the number of arrests in Broward County plummeted.
	And this is what came to the attention of the Obama administration.
	And they decided to give grants to other jurisdictions who are able to reduce arrest rates in this manner.
	They thought this was a great and spectacular achievement.
	And so, when what was originally called the Collaborative Agreement on School Discipline was reinstated, that was in October 2016, that's when I believe they called it the Promise Program.
	That's what it's being referred to now.
	But the point is, It is under this program that the things that Cruz did.
	He would assault students.
	He cursed at teachers.
	He kicked in a classroom door.
	He started fistfights.
	He threw chairs.
	He threatened to kill other students.
	He bragged about mutilating animals.
	He pulled a rifle on his mother.
	He drank gasoline.
	He did all of these crazy, crazy things.
	And threatening to kill somebody, that's a crime.
	He clearly is a guy who should have been arrested.
	And if he had been arrested, rather than being coddled under this, let's just sweep it all under the rug because it's affecting non-whites more than whites policy, for that reason he was able to buy a gun.
	And for that reason he was able to march into that school and kill these people and see no return fire.
	Of course that's a different question.
	Why was there no return fire?
	That's a question for another day.
	But Beyond our pay grade to start debating why the police who are charged with serving and protecting did not rush in to serve and protect.
	Yes, yes.
	But as you pointed out, Ann Coulter in her really quite brilliant column, as usual, she says, how do you suppose a program that is designed to shelter non-whites from the application of discipline was going to treat a guy named Nicholas Cruz?
	Well, of course.
	So they stretched every possible rule to make sure this guy did not have a record so he could waltz into that store and waltz out of it with an AR-15.
	Because when the program saw his name, like you said, the end question, of course, needs to be answered on a data set.
	Cruz, racial minority.
	Now, this situation is so So few people are willing to go this way.
	I mean, look at the reaction when Donald Trump brought up mental issues at first using his Twitter.
	You know, Donald Trump, of course, is still doing a lot of very unfortunate things with this whole gun issue.
	He's made some very odd comments that we're not going to get into because that's not something that we want to really discuss.
	What we want to discuss is how was this shooter, who so many people knew was capable of doing this because he had talked about doing this.
	I mean, what was the story that broke where he actually had called I believe he had made a call to the police and said, I plan on doing something like this.
	Arrest me.
	Had he himself made such a call?
	He had made a call before.
	I mean, this guy, you couldn't have a bigger red flag.
	He is the poster child for what the state should do to keep school children safe.
	He gave you every indication that he was a mass shooter.
	As Ann Coulter put it in her column, if Cruz had taken out full-page ads in the local newspapers, he could not have demonstrated more clearly that he was a dangerous psycho.
	Yes, absolutely true.
	And of course, there was a scandal about people calling up the FBI and saying, look, this guy is talking concretely about shooting up a school.
	Do something about it.
	And the FBI just fumbled that information away.
	But the point is, as usual, as usual, the mass media are ignoring this aspect of it, and all they can talk about is the NRA, all they can talk about is guns.
	And, you know, this wasn't something we planned to go into in any detail, but the reaction to this, the deplatforming of even Utterly innocuous YouTubers who are talking about this.
	This is extraordinary.
	This is something which just caught my attention last night.
	There is a woman, I think her name is Bombard, and what she does is she plays clips of people in the news and she analyzes body language.
	And she says, this guy looks like he's lying.
	This guy looks like he's concealing something.
	I think it's kind of, it's amusing.
	I think it's speculation.
	A lot of kind of snake oil in there.
	But she was analyzing this Hogg guy, this young student.
	David Hogg.
	David Hogg.
	Become the poster child for all of these wise young people who want gun control.
	And she was pointing out how he sounds like he's sort of a wind-up toy.
	It sounds like he's memorized his lines.
	And her YouTube channel has been put into a two-week quarantine just for talking about this, for heaven's sake.
	I mean, the other side has really gone overboard.
	I mean, when they were trying to fight so-called hate speech, the rest of the conservative movement was going to not do anything about that.
	But once they start talking about guns, once they start taking people who are simply offering a different interpretation of the news, that's all it is.
	And they're saying the way we see it is the right way and nobody else better see it any other way.
	There is no interpretation in the news unless it is seen through the prism of the egalitarian world order.
	We talk about this all the time.
	I'm a steadfast believer that had Hillary won, we would not be able to have this conversation broadcast to every corner of the world.
	The reaction now to the Parkland shooting, where we've seen the NRA lose corporate sponsorship that they had enjoyed for In some cases, decades.
	And the swiftness and the sharp hand that went out across all media platforms to say, we've got to go after this now.
	This is our chance.
	We've got the, it's just like in that moment that erupted on, what was it?
	August 15th, 16th, 17th, whatever it was with Charlottesville, where the moment opened for tech companies to have a moral reason to do what they did in terms of, in their eyes, of deplatforming people because of what transpired in Charlottesville.
	The aftermath of Parkland, in my opinion, has been far worse because the NRA is a group of individuals.
	I mean, let's face it, the NRA brags about how they were formed to help blacks have guns back in what?
	During the days of Reconstruction?
	Yeah, it was after the Civil War.
	They were the original civil rights organization.
	Look, I love Charlton Heston.
	I love the speeches he gave.
	Toward the end of his life, he was giving speeches where, when he was talking about gun rights, he was lamenting the fact that whites, that white people, were now facing legal discrimination.
	Charlton Heston, at the end of his life, was a On the verge of speaking truths that even you might not speak.
	It was fascinating to watch and I encourage everyone to try and find some of those great Charlton Heston videos.
	But, I mean, people who are doing reviews of guns are losing their channels.
	People who are just questioning some certain aspects of this.
	And you didn't see anybody who questioned aspects of the largest mass shooting in US history in Las Vegas.
	Lose their channels.
	Gosh, I watched a lot of those conspiracy videos.
	They were fascinating.
	And you know what?
	Those individuals who are just looking at the conspiratorial angle of Las Vegas are doing far more than the media, the corporate media, ever did when it came to investigating what happened in Vegas.
	That's true.
	Who have now spent all of that ink trying to argue that we should lose our Second Amendment rights in the wake of Parkland.
	And you are aware, of course, I'm sure, that if you go into the Google search engine and you go shopping and you look for gun, you know what you get?
	You get toy guns.
	You get these replica guns.
	If you go shopping on Google and you put in Beretta 9mm, They've never heard of a Beretta 9mm.
	They've never heard of Beretta.
	They've never heard of Sig Sauer.
	I wonder for how long that will be the case.
	It's disappeared.
	You can no longer shop on Google.
	A gun, Mr. Taylor, I'm sorry to interrupt, but a gun, I want to make this point, this is what happened after the 2015 Charleston incident when the Confederate flag was basically, it became a non-object.
	It didn't exist.
	You couldn't buy it on Amazon, You know, you're not able to, you know, any book cover on Amazon that has a cover on the cover that has a Confederate flag, I believe that they've removed.
	It's stunning how quickly that happened.
	Oh, and they stopped selling the battle flag in the national parks, the battlefields.
	There was a Confederate battle flag on a cigarette lighter that I believe Walmart was selling.
	Put that off the shelves.
	Even games, reenactment games, video games in which you're talking about the war between the states, all the battle flags had to be taken away.
	It's just an incredible mass Just all the lemmings rushed off the cliff at one time and this is yet another example.
	And it could have all been avoided had we not subscribed to this egalitarian view of the world where whites, because white school children behave at a disproportionate, because white school children abide by the laws and they aren't disciplined at the same rate that blacks and Hispanics are because of their inability to follow those same laws, that strangely Asians Abide by even far greater than whites.
	That's right.
	Again, all of this racial data is there before our eyes that should be the basis of social policy as opposed to the implementation of That's exactly right.
	initiatives to promote black and Hispanic lives at the detriment of society as a whole.
	Those 17 lives, Mr. Taylor, they're gone because of the egalitarian nature of our country.
	That's exactly right. Our first several stories are all on that theme. They have to do with
	what happens when non-whites are unable to follow the rules that were built by and for
	What happens is you start dismantling the rules and this is the result.
	Those 17 people, as you say, would have been alive had there been no nonsense about hesitating to recognize that there are racial differences, there are group differences, And if you have rules and this is the behavior that results in arrest, and more black people are being arrested, it's not the problem of the rules.
	If more Hispanics are being arrested, it's not the rule that is at fault.
	And until we figure this out, we're just going to go round and round and round in circles.
	And as I agree with you, it's very good that Rush Limbaugh He devoted his show to this, he went into this in considerable detail, but I've not seen one mention of this problem in any of the real mainstream media.
	I'm glad that Ann Coulter gets the kind of audience she gets.
	This sort of information is getting out, but it's being essentially ignored by the legacy media, by the people who really think that they are forging policy.
	It's being strangled at the source, and you know, you're seeing some people who are, when they talk about it, obviously they're so marginalized now.
	The only person I hope will spend some minutes talking about it is Tucker Carlson.
	He may well.
	Because he is one of the few advocates for sanity.
	And I mean, gosh, we're not going to talk about the data.
	We'll do this next week.
	But, I mean, guys, according to a peer research study, 82% of gun owners in the country are white males.
	So, I'm sorry, are white.
	In a country that's about, what, 63-64% non-Hispanic white, roughly.
	So, you're talking about all these attacks.
	Against gun owners, it's a proxy war for the attack on white Americans and for our ability to still defend ourselves.
	And let us hope that the NRA wakes up to this.
	You know, we had a great article by Gregory Hood published yesterday.
	It's called, uh, Welcome to the Party, NRA.
	And it is about the incredible, ad hominem, irrational, hateful reaction the NRA got because of this.
	And it mirrors almost perfectly the kind of reaction we get.
	What's the spokeswoman they have at the NRA?
	Dana Loesch?
	I don't know how you pronounce her last name.
	It's how you pronounce it.
	Dana Loesch.
	She was accused by some black columnist, I believe, of taking pleasure, enjoying it when students are massacred.
	Good grief.
	This is the kind of motivation that's attributed to us all the time.
	This kind of utter, utter irrational hatred.
	But anyway, to move on to our next story, it's really just a short one actually, but it had to do with the Fed Chair Jerome Powell being grilled by Representative Al Green.
	This was in Congress.
	The Fed Chairman came for a hearing.
	And Al Green, who of course is black, he was asking how come blacks are more likely to be unemployed than whites.
	He says traditionally the unemployment rate for blacks has been about twice that of whites.
	He says the last time we had full employment for blacks was under slavery.
	Oh boy.
	And here's poor Jerome.
	What are the implications, by the way?
	When you watch that, what is he actually trying to admit when he says the last time we had full unemployment?
	Because whites have never had full unemployment in this country.
	No, no.
	And of course, even when we had slavery, we had blacks who were free, not all of whom were employed either.
	But put that aside.
	This is a rhetorical flourish to say, well, yes, only when slavery was around, then did we all have jobs.
	Well, is that, you know, the question, of course, is that you all want jobs?
	No, then he goes on to say, he goes on to get poor Jerome Powell to admit that there is invidious discrimination in the United States.
	There is invidious racial discrimination in lending.
	And he says to poor Jerome Powell, Look, it is intolerable that the unemployment rate for blacks be twice that of whites, and it's your responsibility to change things to make them equal.
	And here's Powell sort of nodding and tugging his forelock and saying, yes, Massa, I'll do what I'm told.
	But then again, oh, another aspect of this was, Representative Al Green says, now we do have the data to prove discrimination.
	And the data, we get this data by sending in testers.
	And testers are these systems whereby, you know, you have allegedly blacks and whites with exactly the same qualifications going for a loan.
	The poor black person gets turned down, the white person gets a loan, etc., or asking for jobs, all of this.
	And he wants federal money, he wants proof that there's discrimination, and once he's got proof, he wants everybody to crack the whip and make sure that the black unemployment rate is the same as the white unemployment rate.
	Yet again, yet again, an absolute unwillingness to recognize that there are differences in group behavior.
	We aren't going to talk about it today, but it bears repeating that this type of grilling by an elected member of Congress who represents Ostensibly not just his constituency, but blacks nationwide, since he's a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Mr. Taylor.
	It's important to juxtapose this very strange encounter with what just happened in South Africa, where they are going to write into the Constitution, they voted on it, to actually to actually take the land of white farmers without
	compensation.
	That's right.
	That is, you laugh at my, at trying to juxtapose these two together, but what he's saying,
	and discrimination will only exist as long as basically white people exist, because these,
	these, these data sets will always develop.
	White people are always going to have it better off, and that's obviously because this is a white supremacist society.
	There is discrimination at the banks.
	What's going to happen when we're in charge, brother?
	What's going to happen when we're in charge, sister?
	How do you think we're actually going to finally end income inequality in America?
	Look what our friends in South Africa are doing right now.
	That's right.
	Not difficult to imagine.
	Now, in a way, I say hats off to South Africa.
	They have actually gone through the legal process of changing the Constitution.
	Hey, don't tell me that they're a lawless people.
	They're abiding by the rule of law.
	They're changing the Constitution so that they can steal the land of whites legally.
	It's admirable.
	This is no, you know, bone-in-the-nose kind of stuff.
	This is the real thing.
	Come on.
	Yes, but this leads me to the next story, and this was a book, actually, that was written to come out at the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Kerner Commission Report.
	Well, you will not recall this because you were not even a little babe sucking your little pink toes.
	You were not even born.
	But this was issued in 1968.
	After the 1967 race riots, Lyndon Johnson had appointed this commission to look into how come this terrible business had happened.
	And this, the original Kerner Commission Report, Oh, it's about 450 pages.
	A great, great, fat book.
	I remember lots of people had copies of it that they never read back in those days.
	And the most famous sentence from this is, our nation is moving towards two societies,
	one black, one white, separate and unequal.
	And then the other famous sentence is, white racism is essentially responsible
	for the explosive mixture which has been accumulating in our cities since the end of World War II.
	So, this was a very clear statement.
	If something goes wrong among blacks, it's Whitey's fault.
	That was the point of departure for this.
	Well, interestingly enough, this was issued, the report itself was issued in February 1968.
	Just a few weeks later, Martin Luther King is assassinated, and rioting breaks out in 100 cities.
	100 cities across the United States.
	Wow.
	Of course, as the Kerner Commission report had urged us to spend lots of money, just pour enormous amounts of moral energy into salvaging the ghetto, bringing blacks up to the level of whites, and somehow it didn't work.
	No, there's a study that the Heritage Foundation put out where we spent 22 trillion dollars, I believe, on the Great Society.
	I think I've got that number right.
	It's worth going back and looking at.
	The Heritage Foundation put it out and you think about the enormous amount of... We tried!
	I mean, that's the thing.
	You know, here's a white pill for you, for everyone listening.
	We tried.
	We tried to create, you know, America basically was Wakanda back in the 1960s.
	You look back at the pictures of Detroit, you look at pictures of Baltimore, you look at pictures of Rochester, Newark, Camden, Buffalo, you look at pictures of Chicago.
	They were beautiful cities with proud people living there.
	And then the mechanical cotton picker made black labor obsolete in the south.
	And as Steve Saylor notes, six million blacks came north.
	That brought about great racial strife because guess what?
	There were vast differences in intelligence and in capabilities between the races.
	The type of racism that white southerners will never ever be free of being blamed for White Northerners began to maybe question, hey, what's going on here?
	Now, we decided that the Kerner Commission was going to become official policy for the United States.
	For anybody who came to Congress, you had to basically sign off and say, we are going to do everything possible to ensure that our nation doesn't move toward two societies.
	We want to do everything possible to, yes, white racism is essentially responsible for everything.
	For all failures.
	So guess what?
	How much money can we throw at the problem?
	So Mr. Taylor, my point is, we tried.
	Your generation tried.
	My generation, we are the ones who now live in a society where the number one movie, perhaps when it's all said and done of all time, is one that blacks derisively call white people colonizers.
	That is now official policy of Disney.
	When Walt Disney was making movies back when you were a young kid, They were telling you to wear Davy Crockett coon hats.
	Now in 2018, Walt Disney is funding, to the tune of 350 million dollars, a black power fantasy, which in turn is causing people to ask themselves, why is it that blacks don't have this type of society?
	And it's because Of course.
	racism and colonizers. We once lived under the tyranny of the
	Kerner Commission, we now live under the tyranny of Wakanda forever.
	Walt Disney under the tyranny of Yale University, under the tyranny of every
	church, every major church in the United States, everybody sings the same tune.
	Wall Street, the media, no.
	White racism is essentially responsible.
	This I.D.
	the Kerner Commission, of course, it dates back from well before that.
	It was really W.E.B.
	Du Bois in his The Souls of White Folks.
	You've made this point on this podcast before.
	Have you ever written on that to talk about that aspect?
	No, I really should.
	And I must say, W.E.B.
	Du Bois writes very beautifully.
	He's an excellent stylist, but he's the one who first really formulated this idea.
	Until then, most Americans, and he was writing, I believe, in the early 1900s, And maybe 1910s, and until then, most white people just took it for granted.
	You know, the races are different, and you just can't expect them to achieve the same level.
	But he's the one who formulated this, and he did it in a very persuasive way.
	But in any case, you know, just like The Real American Dilemma came out in 1948, we have these gigantic milestones in the creation and the substantiation of the myth.
	And we keep nailing them into our collective consciousness.
	And this book on the 50th anniversary is yet another attempt to do so.
	It's called, Healing Our Divided Society, Investing in America 50 Years After the Kerner Report.
	And it was put out by the Eisenhower Foundation.
	And they just run through all the usual statistics.
	And they, of course, arrive at the same conclusion.
	White racism is the problem.
	White people are the problem.
	Of course, some of their statistics are really, frankly, dishonest.
	They'll say something like, in 1988, 44% of black students went to majority white schools.
	Now, only 20% of black students go to majority white schools.
	Well, I bet the number of whites who go to majority white schools has declined almost as precipitously.
	There's just not that many whites.
	I'd go you one better.
	I bet it's declined far more precipitously because America is running out of white children.
	That's right.
	White children are this precious commodity that has to be doled around almost like they're gold nuggets.
	No, this is just crazy stuff.
	And of course, the new report calls on the federal government and the states to do what?
	Just guess, Mr. Kersey.
	Well, I did a nice little tease earlier.
	$22 trillion Heritage Foundation said has been spent to create this great society.
	Of course, the Great Society was largely inspired by the Kerner Commission.
	So what do you do?
	Spend more money.
	22 trillion wasn't enough?
	Why not another 22 trillion?
	How about 44 trillion?
	You could make up numbers.
	We could create new words to describe whatever comes after quadrillion.
	I don't know what it is off the top of my head.
	We can make up those numbers and it still would not create the type of society where the egalitarians would be able to Put the brake on the whole white racism thing, because they can't.
	This is the lesson of today's podcast, Mr. Taylor.
	It goes back to the shooting where 17 kids are dead, where the Second Amendment has never been under the type of assault it is right now, when the greatest organization trying to defend the Second Amendment It's losing corporate sponsorships.
	It's being compared by Van Jones to the KKK.
	It has no moral high ground because they have so few people.
	And this is the great lament for even conservatism.
	Because all of the things that conservatives care about, whether it's abortion, whether it's tax cuts, all these things that I couldn't care less about.
	Tax cuts I do care about, I'll be honest.
	But gun rights, something I care very much about.
	Guys, 82% of the guns in this country are owned by white people.
	What percentage do you think the NRA is Caucasian?
	Now, everything that we care about as conservatives, if you're a conservative or a Republican or an American, Who looks at what's happening and says, man, this tidal wave has to be stopped somehow.
	Unless you get to the fundamental question of race, you'll never be able to stop the waves from crashing over everything you love.
	Absolutely right.
	And this is a message we must repeat over and over and over again to these so-called conservatives.
	Nothing that you love can be conserved unless there are white people there to conserve it.
	And so, this moves us along to yet another story that is all part of the same theme.
	It's about the wicked and dangerous buildings in Baltimore.
	Apparently, there's something called the Gilmore Homes.
	It's a public housing project.
	And Baltimore officials plan to relocate more than 120 families from this troubled housing project.
	And what they're going to do is demolish 132 of these units.
	Now, Mayor Catherine Puig said Wednesday, this is just Wednesday of just this week, that all of this is necessary to cut down on crime.
	The buildings in question are a hotbed for criminal activity.
	And it really does sound as though it is the buildings themselves.
	The buildings are going to be punished for all of this nastiness by demolition.
	And state delegate Antonio Hayes says, There's drug dealing and rat infestation.
	I'm hoping to hear out the concerns of the residents and give them an opportunity to live in areas where they have opportunity, without subjecting them to the same conditions.
	But doesn't he realize that it's the residents that create the conditions?
	No, this is something that seems to have completely escaped Representative Antonio Hayes.
	Now, Gilmore Homes was the scene of Freddie Gray's arrest, and that was something that gave it a kind of a cachet, just not all that long ago.
	And the Baltimore Sun says that there's a backlog of nearly 500 outstanding work orders for repairs.
	Well, that doesn't sound very pleasant.
	But is that the fault of the buildings, for heaven's sake?
	And I wonder why some of these buildings, some of these apartments need so much help.
	I suspect that these subsidized home dwellers are probably not the most careful of tenants.
	Remember that great quote from Baltimore, I guess it was the New York Times, where the black resident of Baltimore was upset that his home was falling apart.
	He said, you know, the facade is becoming blighted.
	What's going on here?
	Why is this what we end up with?
	Why is this all we get?
	He says, looking around at neighborhoods that when white people lived in them, they were just fine.
	I mean, how many improvements with your home that you own have you had to make over the years with your roof?
	I mean, I can only imagine how much that must have cost.
	Oh, gosh.
	Don't ask me how many tens of thousands of hours I've spent keeping this house in livable condition.
	That is the burden of home ownership.
	Yes, yes.
	Well, they don't seem to see it that way.
	No, it's really an astonishing thing here.
	Also, just as a side note, in 2015, women at the complex filed a lawsuit alleging that maintenance workers were shaking them down for sex in order to repair gas leaks and exterminate roaches, and housing officials settled a suit for $8 million.
	I would love to see just how this lawsuit really worked itself out.
	What were the actual complaints?
	Was anyone actually punished for this?
	It's astonishing to me.
	It must have been the lucky day for some of those women living there.
	I'd like to bring up a quick story about Baltimore.
	Back in 2015, the Baltimore Sun published a very It was an honest story, but it was terrifying.
	It was more frightening than any horror movie and any scriptwriter could ever concoct, because under the title of, quote, Housing Policies Still Pin Poor in Baltimore, But Some Escaped the Suburbs, published on 12-15-2015, the author points out that more than 10,000 black women and children have been moved into overwhelmingly white, prosperous suburbs through a court-ordered relocation program designed to combat the intense inner-city segregation "...and poverty forged by decades of discrimination."
	And the article then in the very next Senate states this, Mr. Taylor, "...that relocation program, one of the nation's largest, has been discreetly rolled out to avoid the political and community opposition that routinely arises to defeat proposals for building subsidized housing in the Baltimore suburbs."
	Yep, yep, yep.
	Oh, they've got it in for us all right.
	They're going to stick the knife in very slowly in the hope that we won't even feel it going between our ribs.
	I've never seen it admitted in such a manner where they're just almost bragging about there's nothing you can do about it.
	Your property values are going to drop down.
	Those buildings that once housed happy families for generations are now going to become the breeding ground for, wow, Being demolished in about 10 or 20 years.
	Well, that's just it.
	Because houses go wrong.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, but as I say, this lawsuit, these women who claim that they were sexually harassed in terms of, to get their garbage taken out or repairing gas leaks and things, I wonder what the standard of proof was, you know?
	I bet it was like the Pigford case.
	These blacks who were all suing because of alleged discrimination on the federal, the USDA, not giving them loans.
	Golly, how did they come up with 8 million?
	Who got it?
	I just think it's fascinating.
	It'd be an interesting thing to do a sort of an in-depth study of the transcript of this, in any case.
	But now, of course, because they're going to knock down, knock down these 132 units, there is a movement that has sprung up to oppose knocking them down, because the theory is this will lead to Gentrification!
	White people moving back to a city that they represented almost 90% of the population of back in 1918.
	That's right.
	Now, this we can't have, of course.
	So, I guess the theory is you're going to move these people who are prisoners of these crime-infested buildings and sprinkle them about into the white suburbs so that they can infest the white suburbs instead.
	And these terrible, evil buildings that are dangerous to their occupants are going to be knocked down.
	And as somebody who is a lifelong resident of the area and runs something called the No Boundaries Coalition, he just says, sadly, the first precursor to a negative gentrification is demolition.
	Negative gentrification, by the way, I didn't know there was any other kind.
	But no, this is a black lady who says, you know, there's a constant battle to camouflage gentrification and hide it with words like innovation, revitalization.
	So, you know, I guess she'd rather have the places stay there.
	She just does not want white people coming there.
	I want to make one point to all of our listeners around the country and if you're listening across the world.
	Thank you for that, by the way.
	We really enjoy having so many wonderful people listen to this podcast.
	Baltimore is a World class city, potentially.
	It was once one of America's greatest cities.
	It's got so much history.
	You've got Fort McHenry, I believe.
	Fort McHenry, yes.
	Fort McHenry, where Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem.
	It's proximity to Washington DC and to the Eastern Corridor where you've got what really is the power corridor.
	So what I'm trying to get at is as America begins to shift, as we start to see a concentration of a true concentration of wealth, I mean Mr. Taylor you know this, three of the most prosperous counties in the country are located right around here.
	Yes they are.
	Baltimore is a city that a lot of people would like to see radically transform.
	And it can only radically transform if you get rid of, just as the Baltimore Sun said, they're doing this discreetly to get rid of, to redistribute the pain of black residents who are concentrated in Baltimore.
	You've got to get the demographics back to like you're seeing in Washington DC, where it's now a majority white city.
	If you do that, Baltimore's real estate values will increase dramatically.
	And this is going to happen in our lifetime.
	So if you're out there listening to this, I would recommend We're not here giving real estate advice, but consider long-term investments in Baltimore.
	Because Baltimore is a city that's so close to D.C., there's only so much housing around here.
	There's only so far you can go out to commute.
	If they build a high-speed train from D.C.
	to Baltimore, you can live in a nice townhome in Baltimore, commute to work.
	So I'm just saying, use some of this data where you're already seeing blacks complain about Reverse gentrification.
	When they start using that type of language, you know that area has been targeted for redevelopment.
	And redevelopment is an opportunity to make money.
	Well, let us hope that there are enough white people to go around to make the city a livable place again.
	We will have to see.
	I mean, as we know, that's happening in a number of cities.
	Atlanta, Washington, D.C., even parts of Detroit, you know, central Detroit.
	White people are moving back.
	Well, that's all because Dan Gilbert is basically creating a demilitarized zone.
	The city that's most interesting is New Orleans, where Palantir, is it Palantar or Palantir, the company that Peter Thiel is the chairman of, that has government contracts.
	I think it's Palantir, I believe.
	They're in a lot of trouble because they're doing predictive policing in New Orleans to try and keep people from having a mass exodus from a tourism perspective.
	So you have to understand that.
	On a micro level, cities across the country realize what we've talked about.
	At the question of tourism, at the question of being desirable for companies to move into, for families to start their life and their careers, race is a question that people are all talking about, even if they're not talking about it, and they're going around in code to talk about it.
	Yep.
	But this story about the dangerous buildings, the buildings that sort of emit some sort of mephitic gas, I suppose, that poisons the poor occupants, this crime emanation from the walls, this ancient structure, Again, this is our last story on the whole theme that we worked out earlier.
	That is to say, the shooting in Florida, it was because non-whites were not abiding by the rules.
	You had to change the rules, and this guy snuck in under the radar and was able to buy a gun.
	We have Al Green grilling the Fed chairman because black people are not as employable as whites, and it's the Fed chairman's fault.
	And then, of course, we have the Kerner Commission that says, look, this two societies, one black, one white, separate, non-equal, it persists.
	It's still whitey's fault.
	And now here we have buildings.
	And I'm sure if white people have been living in them, if Vietnamese boat people have been living in them, These would not be dangerous crime-ridden buildings.
	They would not have to be torn down.
	But once again, because we have groups that behave differently,
	that you simply cannot expect the real result, and we persist over and over and over again
	in failing to recognize these group differences.
	School's gone wrong.
	Job's gone wrong.
	Buildings gone wrong.
	Country gone wrong.
	That's right.
	It's all our fault.
	It's all our fault.
	Now, this other story is really, it's an example, I think, of something that is being set up to be potentially a real collision.
	And this has to do with this defensive perimeter that the state of California has established around itself To make sure that illegal immigrants are protected, no matter what.
	And this has to do with, just this week, the mayor of Oakland, Elizabeth Schaaf.
	She's white, by the way.
	Very interesting that Oakland now has white mayors.
	In any case, she put out the word that she'd heard that ICE was going to do a raid.
	And as a result, Thomas Homan, who is the U.S.
	Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE's acting director, he compared her to a gang lookout.
	Who is on the prowl, making sure if the cops are... Oh, she's at the cops!
	And so he says, on account of her, an estimated 800 criminals.
	And they're just going after the bad apples here.
	They're going after real criminals.
	800 eluded arrests.
	This is really an extraordinary thing, and I think this is really putting into place a serious, serious confrontation between the Feds and these local people.
	Apparently, they're even looking into the possibility of a filing for obstruction of justice.
	Now, wouldn't that be an extraordinary thing?
	We've talked about this before in this podcast.
	That is one of the symbolic acts.
	Just like a wall being built.
	If you would go in and the federal government... I mean this type of language by Thomas Holman is fantastic.
	This is amazing.
	This is what we want.
	All this talk of black pill.
	All this talk of woe is us.
	Things are never going to get better.
	The sunshine is past.
	Darkness is is set in, are you kidding me?
	Just to hear him say something like that, to make that comparison, to even be noticing, to even be, you know, because for so long, I mean, it was an acquiescence to the illegal immigration, what was going on, no one was even talking about doing something like this, but under President Trump, we are seeing, and under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, this is the type of activity that is going to force the left Just like it happened with gun control.
	The NRA is fantastic when they mobilize.
	The left has admitted this.
	They're upset about this, of how well the NRA mobilizes voters to go out.
	They're single-issued.
	They're almost all white.
	If 82% of gun owners are white, I'm willing to bet the farm that 95% plus members of the NRA are white.
	So my point is this.
	The midterms are coming up in 2018.
	You cannot tell me that a way to mobilize conservatives were for Donald Trump to, after you would make an arrest of someone like this in Oakland, to address the nation and to say, we did this so there'll never be another Kate Steinle.
	No, I agree with you 100%.
	The kinds of change that you can get right from the top of the executive branch.
	If you put key people in all of these various posts, you get controls on whether or not the people who really deserve them get welfare benefits, for example.
	You start enforcing the law against these illegal immigrants who show up.
	You start making sure that those who fight against this kind of thing are held up for ridicule and pointed out to be the criminal types that they in fact are.
	It makes a huge, huge difference.
	And the people who say, I'm not going to bother to vote, you know, it doesn't make any difference.
	It makes a big difference.
	Politics is where the power is, and we have to mobilize.
	Now, I'd just like to finish up with Mayor Elizabeth Schaaf by quoting her explanation as to why she did this.
	She said, we believe our community is safer when families stay together.
	Isn't that heartwarming?
	That's why she put out the word, hey all you criminals, all you rapists, all you drug runners, all you murderers, time to clear out.
	The feds are coming because we're safer when our families stay together.
	I'm sure Kate Stanley's family feels the same way.
	I'm sure Kate's telling these family wishes that they could be with their entire family as opposed to knowing that their daughter was murdered by someone that was allowed to stay in the country, even though they had been deported five times.
	Yes, and I wonder how many of these 800 have got away.
	I mean, they managed to pick up 150, by the way.
	I imagine how many of these 800 even have what we would consider a family.
	They may have half a dozen illegitimate children running around that you and I have got to feed and house and clothe and educate, but Family?
	And we're safer with these criminals in the country?
	Good grief.
	It just goes to show you the incredible delusion these people operate under.
	I'd like to make a quick point.
	I think the left considers itself a family in a weird way.
	A family, a marginalized family that has been for too long in the shadows.
	of this cisgendered white dominated country.
	And they're all in it together.
	And as we know, as we saw with the Democratic Convention this past week in California, you've
	got to keep going further and further to the left.
	You've got to ratchet up that anti-white hatred to really get things going.
	I'll go and say this right now.
	In 2020, Kamala Harris will be the Democrat candidate for president.
	All right.
	Without a doubt, she will be.
	When the time comes, I will either congratulate you or laugh at you.
	You can laugh at me.
	I'm just telling you, we are witnessing a simultaneously a hardening of the anti-white nature of the left.
	But at the same time, we are watching The right...
	Begrudgingly, in some cases, assimilate to the Trumpism, even though Donald Trump isn't articulating everything that made him the president now.
	The right after CPAC, you know this, the base is with Trumpism.
	The base certainly is, no question about that.
	What was it, 94% approval rating he had?
	After having been almost afraid to show up at CPAC the year before, they thought he was afraid there was going to be a mass walkout.
	I'm sorry, two years before.
	Two years before, he was running.
	When he was running as a candidate.
	Candidate Trump was not welcome.
	Now he's the conquering hero.
	But, you know, I would like to move on to a different story here, and this has to do with something else that makes a huge difference.
	Who is running the show?
	And this is something that I don't know very much about, but the Center for Immigration Studies, which is one of these nonprofits in Washington, D.C., I think they do great work.
	I mean, everything I know about immigration... Don't endorse them too much!
	I think their research is wonderful.
	I think they're absolutely wonderful.
	I mean, they would certainly never want to accept my endorsement, but I think the research they do is great.
	And they came up with...
	It's called the Optional Practical Training, OPT program.
	Get this, the American government pays employers in this country to discriminate against American workers.
	for companies that hire foreigners rather than American citizens. You're
	gonna look into that. It's called the Optional Practical Training, OPT
	program. Get this, the American government pays employers in this country to
	discriminate against American workers. In fiscal year 2017, Mr. Taylor, nearly two
	billion dollars was swiped from trust funds from the elderly to favor the
	hiring of 240,000 alien college graduates over an equal number of US, of
	American, of American graduates.
	So this is government money that would have gone into these social security trust funds and things that was doled out in tax breaks to companies who hire foreigners rather than Americans?
	They're being rewarded for discriminating against us?
	Those subsidies to hire these foreign alumni, they are extracted, as you note correctly, from the social security, from medicare, unemployment insurance program trust funds.
	And we're estimated to be in the area of 1.15 billion But it's clear though, it's closer to, in fiscal year 2017, we're closer to two billion dollars from, you know, you've seen the statistics of the elderly.
	Obviously these are funds, you and I pay into these funds.
	Our tax dollars, anyone listening to this is an American citizen.
	If you look at your W-2 at the end of the week, at your pay period, You are paying into Social Security, Medicare, and your company's paying into unemployment insurance program, which, of course, is someone that's coming out of your wages.
	My point is, this is one of those programs that CIS found.
	Once again, the deck is being stacked against Americans.
	And this goes for all races, of all races.
	You know Al Green's bad dream about black unemployment?
	Well, guess what?
	There's some foreigner, that 240,000 people, that are competing I don't even understand it.
	Not even Obama, it seems to me.
	What was he thinking?
	What?
	And apparently the Obama administration implemented this policy?
	Yes.
	What the heck?
	I mean, I don't even understand it.
	Not even Obama, it seems to me.
	What was he thinking?
	What's the idea?
	Well, I'd like to actually, let's go back real quick because Bush, George W. Bush and
	his infinite wisdom was the actual individual who created this without congressional authorization.
	However, it was expanded by the Obama administration, which, you know, maybe one of these days, I know maybe Gregory Hood could do this, but just to do a look back at just how racial Absolutely.
	the Obama administration was to try and use, as you noted, absolute power enables absolute
	crushing of your enemies. Lord Acton has it all wrong.
	Absolute power doesn't corrupt absolutely. If you were given power, I don't think you
	would be corrupted, Mr. Taylor.
	Oh, I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Even if I had all the federal government's power, I wouldn't trust myself.
	My point is this.
	We know for a fact that the press hid that one picture of Obama when he was with Louis Farrakhan.
	We just had a successful conference in Chicago where untold numbers of Nation of Islam members met to, once again, Pat themselves on the back for whatever black empowerment they're aspiring to today.
	And of course, you're going to be having a conference in, what, a couple weeks?
	Oh, about a month.
	Well, let's see, a little over a month from now.
	Last weekend in April.
	Yes, yes.
	We'll talk about that on another podcast.
	Yes, an astonishing program, and I brought this up because I'm hoping that now we have a few clear-headed people in key administrative positions that they will at least take a hard look at this program.
	Apparently, if it was created by executive order, surely it can be stopped by executive order.
	This idea of giving tax breaks to people just to hire foreigners.
	What the heck?
	I mean, if this were known about, I think there are even misty-eyed liberals who would wonder what the heck's going on.
	So, thank goodness outfits like the Center for Immigration Studies are looking into this.
	But now, our last serious story here.
	An article that came out in something called citylab.com.
	It was a very interesting take on the declining homicide rate in some of these very dangerous, murderous cities.
	It pointed out that in 2016, 771 people were killed in Chicago.
	That is the highest homicide tally since 1996.
	And they pointed out that over a six-decade period, 60 years, there have been 39,000 killings in the city of Chicago.
	Now, from 1969 to 1998, the annual toll, it peaked, every year it was over $6.50, and it peaked in 1992 with 943 killings, but then there's been a slow decline.
	Now, whenever there's a decline in killings, the police thump their chests and say, yeah, we did it right, it was our broken windows policing, it was our community-based policing, it was our friendly officers on foot, etc., etc., etc.
	These guys, they say, hold on, hold on.
	There is a hero, if you want to call it a hero in this story, that you don't recognize.
	And that has to do with the extraordinary efforts the city of Chicago does to patch these perforated people together.
	We, apparently there are six level one trauma centers within the city limits and the extraordinary efforts that have gone into saving people have had a very, it's an unquantifiable but definite effect on lowering the homicide rate.
	And as they point out, shootings have not declined.
	In other words, maybe their aim is getting worse, but probably their aim is just as good.
	It's always been terrible.
	You know, you hear about, you know, 50 people being shot, three die.
	It's not necessarily because their aim is bad.
	It's because of these extraordinary efforts that go into saving these thugs who would have otherwise bled to death.
	I thought this was really quite a fascinating little investigation here.
	And they say it's really not the murder rate, but the shootings we ought to be looking at, and they're not declining.
	No.
	They're still blazing away at each other like Billy-O just as they always have.
	You could read the same article for Philadelphia, for Baltimore, for Memphis.
	Just documenting the type of horror that these trauma surgeons deal with and how burned out they get because it's just this, I mean, you look at the numbers of people who are shot, that's, that's, you know, you're talking about, you're talking about, you know, on a warm weekend in Chicago, say Memorial Day, you're talking about potentially 50, 60 people being shot.
	So you're seeing this, this, this never ending, ceaseless, I mean, it's at a point now where in cities like Louisville and in cities like Milwaukee, I believe that Army and U.S.
	Air Force trauma surgeons actually practice there to prepare for what they're going to see in battlefield.
	They've been doing that for years.
	Send them into these trauma centers in the big cities.
	That's where they're going to see gunshot wounds.
	They won't see fragmentation grenades, but anything having to do with bullets, boy, they're going to find it.
	Anyway, so the last point, this is one that you had pointed out.
	This had to do with NBA teams singing the Negro National Anthem.
	Tell us about this.
	I believe it's Lift Every Voice and Sing.
	Let's just keep this quick.
	It's Black History Month.
	As always, we have to find any and every way possible to lift every black voice and let them sing loudly and yell at us and have a one-way monologue with us and being colonizers again going back to I have no problem being but that's actually kind of cool but suffice to say
	There are four teams in the NBA who are now playing both the National Anthem and, for Black History Month, they've decided to play Lift Every Voice and Sing, a Negro spiritual.
	Are we going to now talk about the Star-Spangled Banner as the White National Anthem?
	Maybe we should start doing that.
	I think we're actually at that point.
	The NBA is 74% black.
	The NFL is 70% black.
	The players.
	I believe they do perceive.
	You and I are not in the locker rooms, but we actually are able to read the sports pages.
	We're able to know that these black players You know, they're probably more misty-eyed when they hear that Negro spiritual.
	The fact is, and I don't want to end this on an utterly wet note here, but it is a beautiful song.
	Have you ever heard the song?
	Do you know the lyrics at all?
	I bet you've never heard it.
	It's a wonderful tune and the words were by James Weldon Johnson, who was a NAACP activist and songwriter.
	In some respects, I think it's a better tune than The Star-Spangled Banner.
	You know what?
	I'm going to let you say that because I love the National Anthem.
	And it ends on a distinctly pre-Wakanda note.
	Its last words are, May we forever stand true to our God, true to our native land.
	And they're talking about the United States, not Wakanda.
	So we'll leave it at that, Brother Commissioner Kersey, and we'll see you next week.
