Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to today's edition of Radio Renaissance.
This is our first podcast of the new year.
With me, of course, is Paul Kersey, and both of us wish you a very, very satisfying year to come, and I'm sure it will be filled with a great deal of excitement for those of us who keep our fingers on the pulse of America where it matters most.
Mr. Taylor, before we get started, I'd love to ask, are you one who makes a resolution at the beginning of the year?
I am not much of a New Year's resolution guy because I live a perfect life all year long and have nothing that I need to improve.
This said, I have made a resolution, and that is to telephone my children more often.
I'm not much of a call-up-and-chat kind of a guy, but whenever I do, I really enjoy it and I need to talk to my children more often.
That's my resolution.
That's a great resolution.
One of the resolutions I'd like to ask all of our listeners to do, and you can do this very quickly, Subscribe to the AR Podcast YouTube channel.
All you have to do is go over to YouTube and type in AMRIN Podcast.
Since we implored our listeners, all of you fantastic individuals out there across the globe, last week to do this we've More than doubled our number of subscribers and I think we can do that again and start seeing some exponential growth and we appreciate each and every one of you and I just want to reiterate a happy and prosperous new year to each and every one of you.
Yes, Mr. Kersey and I have been doing this now for going on two years I think and I think we're beginning to develop an appreciative listenership and we are an appreciative duo of our listenership.
I think I'd like to start today's podcast with the story of Gustavo Garcia, age 36.
And just back in December, he spent a very, very lively 24 hours in the Central Valley of California.
First of all, he shot and wounded a farm worker.
Then he robbed a convenience store at gunpoint and walked off with $2,000 in cash.
Then Mr. Garcia shot a female guest at a Motel 6 in both the chest and the arm.
She is expected to survive.
Then he went and shot up a gas station near Pixley in the Central Valley.
And then he shot and killed a fellow named Rocky Jones at another gas station an hour later.
Now these are just all unrelated people that he happened to encounter with his six-shooter or whatever it was he was using as a weapon in his hand.
Then he went to the backyard of his ex-girlfriend's home in Visalia, California and shot up the place.
Then the police finally found this guy, and he had a shootout with them, got into a police chase, and then he wrecked his car.
Well, this guy seems to have been a very, as I say, a very lively lad.
He stole another car and led the police on yet another chase.
And this speeds over 100 miles per hour.
And during this period, he smashed into four other cars.
One driver is in critical condition.
Another suffered minor injuries.
And Mr. Garcia's 24 hours of great joy came to an end when he smashed the truck, was thrown from the truck, and died.
Now, the significance of all this, ladies and gentlemen, is not that Gustavo Garcia had a very active final 24 hours on earth.
It's the fact that this all happened just two days after he'd been held in Tulare County Jail for being under the influence of an illegal substance.
Now, ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, asked Tulare County to keep him.
So that they could pick him up because he was in the country illegally, he had a long criminal record, and they wanted to get him out of the country.
Alas, Tulare County was forced by California's sanctuary state laws to refuse to turn him over to ICE.
So they turned him loose and just two days later this rather exciting series of events that I just explained to you took place.
For our younger listeners, this sounds like a rejected script from the video game Grand Theft Auto.
I mean, if we actually did live in a country where white privilege existed, this would be a wall-to-wall story.
We'd never hear the end of Gustavo Garcia's exploits.
I'm sure a lot of you listening haven't even heard this cat's name before.
No, no, you've never heard of this fellow.
The fact that he was deported twice already in 2004 and 2014.
He actually on one occasion served 27 months in federal prison.
That was one of the times he was deported afterwards.
He sneaks back into the country, and they get a hold of him in Tulare County, and the feds say, here's a guy we're very interested in.
We want to get a hold of him and kick him out.
And California says, no, get lost, feds.
And so he's released into the public.
Now, this is something that not everybody in California is pleased with.
the sheriff of Tulare County expressed deep frustration about being hamstrung by the state's sanctuary laws.
Now, you'd like to think that eventually this kind of thing is going to result in a change in those laws.
If this happens often enough, I mean, it's like money goes to where the interest rates are higher
and all of the illegals are going to drift into California because the word is long out that, gosh,
you get arrested there, the feds will never hear about it, or if the feds hear about it, too bad.
They're going to release you into the community.
Well, we talked about this last week, the shocking changes within the state legislator in California, the impending... I don't believe he's been Sworn in, yeah.
But Gavin Newsom is the new governor.
And I think we're only going to see crazier and crazier, more liberal laws passed to protect illegal aliens.
And you are right.
Just as bad money chases out good money, illegal aliens, who are all bad by definition because they're illegal, will chase out what's left of the American citizens within the state of California.
And not just the citizens, too.
There's another story.
In addition to Mr. Gustavo Garcia, right about the same time, right at the end of the year, there was a story of another Gustavo.
This guy, Gustavo Arriaga.
He was, once again, an illegal in the United States from Mexico and in a place called Newman.
That's sort of in the Central Valley.
He was stopped by routine police stop by a police corporal named Ronald Singe.
Now, this guy is a legal immigrant from Fiji.
Well, Gustavo Arriaga shot him to death.
Once again, this guy goes on the lam.
He was heading for the Mexican border because he knew that he'd made things hot for himself in Mexico, but they caught him.
They caught him in Bakersfield, about 280 miles south of where he did the shooting.
He was on his way, as I say, to the Mexican border.
Interestingly enough, here is a guy who is affiliated with the Sureños.
That is a Mexican street gang with its origins in Southern California that's affiliated with the EMME, which is that very, very powerful Hispanic prison group.
And he was aided in his escape attempts by two probably other members of Los Serenos, a 25-year-old named Adrián Virgen.
Virgen means virgin, of course.
and 27-year-old Eric Quiroz, yet another Hispanic, and they have been likewise arrested for accessories after the fact of a felony because they had tried to help him get away from the police and get back to his native Mexico.
Now, once again, here was a guy who had several DUI arrests, gang affiliations, and Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christensen noted Yeah, you know, you're right.
had been unable to report this suspect to Immigration and Customs Enforcement
because of these sanctuary laws. So we hear two events essentially back to back.
Yeah, you know, you're right. One thing we failed to mention about Gustavo
Garcia is that he's faced drug and illegal weapons charges in the past and
as you stated he did serve 27 months in a federal prison.
But you read about these guys, I mean two DUIs. I mean you basically have a
state that is entirely capitulated to this illegal alien invasion and you know
there is there really isn't much of Republican presence anymore in the
legislature. There's no voice. You know I can remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger
after the recall of Gray Davis he mentioned illegal aliens a little bit but
then he completely backed off and started talking about economic grueling
man as if that matters because what who cares about an economy if
you don't have a country or you don't have a community or a neighborhood.
None of that matters.
And reading about reading about Corporal Singh, you know, he was a legal immigrant from Fiji and he leaves behind a wife and a five-month-old son.
There's a picture And obviously, if I had my druthers, he would not have been allowed to immigrate to the country.
But that's not worth saying at this point.
He was murdered by an illegal alien.
He did everything correctly, according to the law as it currently states.
And there's some really sad photos of them in front of a Christmas tree.
I don't know if you've seen those.
Yes, I have.
These family photographs of Corporal Singh.
It's a terrible, terrible thing that happened to this guy.
Now, it seems to me that even if the entire legislature gets taken over by Hispanics, and it seems to be on its way for that to happen, eventually they're going to come to realize just what a price they're paying for thumbing their nose at the federal government.
If this is what you get for a sanctuary policy, I would like to think that even California would wake up.
But we will see.
We will see.
This is the price the whole country is of course paying, but those states and jurisdictions that welcome these illegals, keep them there, and don't report them to ICE, they're going to increasingly get terrible doses of this kind of activity.
One of the symbolic acts President Trump could have done is he could have taken a card from President Obama.
If you remember, he sent members of his administration to the funerals of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, and I believe Another one of the other blacks who became a cause célèbre during the... I think it was the guy in Baltimore, Freddie Gray.
Well, that would have been all.
Maybe Tamara Rice.
I don't know.
But yes, he certainly did send high-level representatives to the funerals of those guys.
But you're right.
I hadn't thought about that.
President Trump should send Stephen Miller or somebody from his administration, Vice President Pence.
Should send the head of the FBI?
Actually, he should send, if we actually had a DHS head who agreed with him, you'd send the DHS head.
And you would have them go and they would then afterwards address the media and say, we have failed because this state refuses to comply.
They do not want to actually secure the homeland.
It's a simple PR victory.
You're absolutely right.
That would be a genius PR coup and even the most recalcitrant media would have to point out these guys did not have to die.
Exactly.
Low-hanging fruit for the Trump administration.
That's right.
Well, too bad you're not Chief of Staff.
Moving on to James Watson.
This is such a sad story.
James Watson, of course, was a Nobel Prize winner.
who shared the prize in 1962 with Crick for having discovered the double helix structure of DNA.
And he has been really probably the world's best known and most influential scientist for several decades now.
But back in 2007, he got in terrible trouble because he told a British journalist that he was, quote, inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa.
Because, and I quote again, all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says, not really.
No truer words said.
But truth is no defense.
And he was forced to retire from his job as chancellor of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island.
And things got so bad for him, he became a non-person.
All of his speaking engagements dried up.
And in 2014, he became the first living Nobel recipient to sell his medal.
Because he said that he just couldn't keep going and become a non-person.
Wasn't there a Russian who came and who bought it and got it back because he was trying to raise money to buy a painting?
I don't remember the details.
My recollection is that a Russian bought it from him and then gave it back to him.
I believe that's exactly what happened.
In other words, I think it went up to auction or something and he bought it, but we really should look into this.
That was a very worthy thing for this Russian to have done.
Russians, I think, tend to have a more realistic understanding of race and IQ.
I think they do.
But anyway, now just to show you how low The discoverer of the double helix, the co-discoverer of the double helix, a stock had fallen.
Eric Lander, who's the director of the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard, the scientific institute, he made a toast at one point heralding Dr. Watson's involvement in the early days of the Human Genome Project and praised him.
Well, the sky fell on this guy.
Yes.
The sky falls on him for toasting his accomplishments.
And he was forced to say, I reject his views as despicable.
They have no place in science, which must welcome everyone.
I was wrong to toast, and I'm sorry.
Which just goes to show you, it doesn't make any difference what your contributions are.
It's like Shockley.
The inventor of the, the guy who got the first patent on the transistor, William Shockley.
Another Nobel Prize winner.
And this guy, this guy started talking about race and IQ.
Everybody forgets about the transistor.
Everybody forgets about all his other honors.
He is a non-person.
But, good grief.
But, now apparently, now this was a document that was broadcast just last night.
Yes.
I don't have television, so I'm afraid I did not see it.
It was on PBS, so public broadcasting, if you have an antenna, you could probably have watched it.
I don't have an antenna either.
But yes, it was apparently called American Masters colon Decoding Watson.
And in this program, which is sort of an investigation of his life, and I gather that it really goes into some extent into his real genuine scientific contributions, and they gave him what they thought was going to be a softball question.
Have your views on race and intelligence changed?
And his answer was... An emphatic, no!
I mean, here's a guy who could have groveled.
Here's a guy who could have He could have wormed his way back into polite society.
He could have groveled to the entire world, to this interviewer on this public broadcasting system, show about his life.
It was an opportunity to redeem himself and yet here's what he said.
No, not at all.
I would like for them to have changed, that there be new knowledge that says that your nurture is more important than nature.
But I haven't seen any knowledge, and there's a difference on the average between blacks and whites on IQ tests.
I would say the difference is it's genetic."
End quote.
So, Mr. Taylor, Out of the frying pan, into the proverbial fire.
That's right, that's right.
Now, all of the objection and the hand-wringing and the shrieking that this elicited resulted in a number of other quotations from him that I hadn't actually seen before.
But he says, apparently in his book called, what is it?
Avoid Conversations with Stupid People or Boring People.
I think that's the title of his book.
He said, there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of people geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically.
Absolutely right.
Then he says, our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity
will not be enough to make it so.
Wanting is not enough to make it so.
Then back during the Larry Summers problem, when Larry Summers, president of Harvard,
was fired for even floating as a mere possibility the idea that women did not have
equal scientific capacity as men.
He didn't take it as a position.
He says it might just be possible.
He says, Watson wrote, anyone sincerely interested in understanding the imbalance in the representation of men and women in science must reasonably be prepared at least to consider the extent to which nature may figure, even with the clear evidence that nurture is strongly implicated.
Think how nuanced and how careful he is in articulating that passage, which is from the book Avoid Boring People, Lessons from a Life in Science.
It came out in 2010.
I have to say, I think I've got a copy of this.
I have not read it.
I believe I bought it just to support Watson because it came out a few years after the depressing relevation of his racial views and the reaction.
So we always want to support people who are in a situation of that nature.
But, I mean, you look at this and you realize this is a guy who He should have been listened to.
You think about all the problems throughout the country, throughout the world, throughout Europe, throughout Africa, all of the reasons we hear for why things are bad, for why things are only going to get worse, and of course the one thing that's never brought up?
Is an individual's capacity for achievement, or their lack thereof, compared to other racial groups?
That's right.
I was just reading a New York Times story about... It was involved in an interview with a number of his friends.
And the New York Times reporters asked him, well, how could he have possibly held these utterly reprehensible views for which there is no scientific basis whatsoever?
And one of the New York Times writers says, how should such fundamentally unsound views be weighed
against his extraordinary scientific contributions?
I mean, good grief, just completely dismissing any possibility of what he said is true.
Just the deliberate, massive auto blindness of liberal society is breathtaking.
Apparently, his friends did point out that he had a real concern about how history was going to remember him.
This is something that he's thought about a lot.
But as you say, given this opportunity to crawl and grovel, he stuck to his guns.
And that's why history will remember him fondly, as long as we are the ones in our And those who come after us, our posterity, can remember him and have the opportunity to because, again, this was a softball opportunity to be welcomed back into polite society, to have an endowment, to have degrees thrown at him, to be invited to cocktail parties, to speak at
To speak at scientific conferences again.
Well he's 90 years old and maybe he realized it wouldn't do any good anyway.
I don't know.
And apparently just last October he got into an automobile accident and there is some question as to whether or not he's even going to recover.
He's not available for comment so he's certainly not available to defend himself and to defend his views.
But for the entire establishment, just offhandedly, to write off everything you said under those circumstances as just the worst sort of poppycock, it really does take your breath away.
Well, this all appeared in the New York Times, and one of the things that fascinated me is that we've gone from having Nicholas Wade, He's the author of A Troublesome Inheritance, and I don't recall the name of the second book that he did that came out a few years ago.
But is he no longer writing for the New York Times?
I mean, you would think that he could come here and put together a more appropriate profile without this allergy to actual science versus SJW wishful thinking.
It's probably just as much persona non grata as Watson.
No, it's quite incredible.
But you know, it made me think about Robert Plowman.
Plowman, of course, is the author of a really excellent book that I plan to review soon for the AMRAN website called Blueprint.
How DNA Makes Us Who We Are, which is really a deeply subversive book in that it completely overthrows all the bases for egalitarian interventions by government.
Because the government assumes that the reason why certain people don't perform as well is because they have deprived environments, which is unfair, and the government can tune things and tweak things and make sure everybody ends up at the same time on the finish line.
He says, impossible, impossible.
It's all DNA.
Robert Plowman, brave fellow though he is, is still not prepared to talk about group differences.
Apparently, he's coming out with a new edition of this book in which he adds the following sentence.
There are powerful methods for studying the genetic and environmental origins of individual differences, but not for studying the causes of average differences between groups.
Well, Professor Plowman, you're wrong about that.
There are ways to study that.
In fact, in his book he talks about all of these polygenic scores, all of these associations between traits and abilities, and unmistakable DNA patterns.
All you would really have to do is, the more fine-tuned these become, see if you have the same distribution of these patterns in all racial groups.
That would be a very powerful way to look.
And for those listeners who are excited about this forthcoming review, the book is Blueprint, How DNA Makes Us Who We Are by Dr. Robert Plumann.
It was published by the MIT Press.
That's right, MIT Press, a very good publishing house.
He's an American, by the way, who's established a career in Britain, interestingly enough.
He's at King's College, which has traditionally been one of the really frontline places looking into the genetic contributions to IQ.
In any case, I just wonder, what does Plowman really think?
I can't help but think that he knows the truth, but he saw what happened to James Watson.
Don't want to go down into the rabbit hole, doesn't want to become a non-person.
Well, they're building—people like him, people like Watson, they've built the foundation to destroy egalitarianism,
but do they have the courage to build a little higher so that others—so that they can see what others,
you know, two, three generations in the future will take as—without even thinking about it.
It'll be like air. They'll just accept it.
Still, we have to be deeply, deeply grateful for a guy like Professor Plowman,
because he is presenting the data out there for a candid world to evaluate and draw conclusions from, as we will.
And there are going to be enough clear-eyed people to see what the implications of all this are.
But, no, the New York Times has dismissed all of this idea of any kind of racial basis in IQ as complete poppycock, and so let's move on to another New York Times story.
Well, this is also a Washington Post story.
This is an area, of course, in which you are vastly better informed than I, but football in America is such a central part of the American identity that it was headline news when five black head coaches were fired at the end of 2018 leaving only two black coaches in the entire league where at least 70 percent of the players are african-american this was enough of a scandal for both the post and the new york times to write hand-wringing upset articles about this now three white coaches were fired but the fact that five black coaches for this is a terrible scam
Well, and what's fascinating is Clay Travis, who's the author of a book that was reviewed on American Renaissance called Republicans Buy Sneakers Too, he pointed out that the three white coaches who were fired actually had a higher winning percentage than the black coaches that were fired.
So basically, white coaches are held to a much higher standard.
There's affirmative action even when it comes to firing failing coaches.
Yeah, one of the coaches Marvin Lewis, he's a black coach who had been with the Cincinnati Bengals for, I think, 16 seasons.
They had never won a playoff game.
You almost felt, and again, as Mr. Taylor alluded, I do follow professional football, collegiate football, you almost felt that the owners of the Cincinnati Bengals, they were fearful of firing.
I bet they were.
Because of the backlash.
And as you noted, I mean, the coverage of this, it was as if this was the greatest scandal in the country.
Yes.
The covers, you know, newspapers had this plastered on there on not just the sports page, but on the front page of the papers.
That's right.
This is not a sports story.
This is a social injustice story.
And the fact that they weren't winning football games apparently is just an afterthought.
It's a footnote to this story.
These poor blacks were fired.
It's just nutty stuff.
And of course they've got new regulations that teams, if they're going to fill a position, they have to interview at least one minority candidate from a list kept by the league's career development advisory panel.
Boy oh boy, this sounds like central planning to me.
It is central planning.
It's called the Rooney Rule.
He was named after the longtime owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They of course hired Mike Tomlin who is still one of the few black coaches left.
I guess he's one of the two.
And then one of the other coaches that's a visible minority is Ron Rivera.
He's part Hispanic but you look at him and if you were a Chicago Bears fan when he played
for him you'd just see a white guy.
But he actually is able to mark off, he's able to check off the diversity box.
So he's celebrated for being Hispanic.
I don't even know if he speaks Spanish.
But this Rooney Rule is something that I've always been fearful you're going to see more and more of corporate America introduced into corporate America, even into the Public sector.
It's a terrible, terrible rule that a lot of the times owners and general managers of teams, they'll already have a white candidate in mind, a coach they want to hire.
The Green Bay Packers coach was fired during the season.
He's won a Super Bowl.
He's been a fantastic coach and I know a number of teams They're interested in hiring him immediately, but they have to go through the motions of abiding by the Rooney Rule.
And if you're a black coach who's only being interviewed because of this, as you said, this central planning rule that's dictated down by the NFL that says every position that's open for the head coach, black coach has to be interviewed.
How does it make you feel, knowing that you're not going to get the job, it's just a formality that you're going in to be interviewed?
Apparently.
Another rule that they just recently introduced, according to the accounts I read, is that teams have to keep very detailed records of who they actually interview, because apparently, in some cases, they were making a phone call to a black person so they could say, yes, we talked to Mr. X.
But they wouldn't actually fly him in, put him up in a hotel, and do a formal interview.
So now they have to make it very, very clear they didn't just do something pro forma, even if actually flying him in and interviewing him is pro forma.
They're just making it more and more difficult.
But And the idea, the idea really, I mean this is just so absurd.
These guys clearly want their teams to win.
Of course.
And the idea that somehow they're going to be overlooking anybody who is black, or a tranny, or a Martian, or a seven-year-old.
Anybody who can make the team win, I suspect is going to get the job.
If you win Games Day, look, the NFL is almost a pure meritocracy, except in the coaching.
For the positions, it's one of the most highly competitive fields that there is in the country.
And for the coaches' jobs, although of course a lot of it is social engineering now, if you've got a promising black coordinator, he's going to be thrown to the front of the NFL list, where they keep track of coaches who should be interviewed.
I just think it's disingenuous if you're a black coach and you know that there's a white coach that, say the Denver Broncos who just fired a black coach, say you automatically know that the general manager of the team, who's John Elway, the great quarterback, he wants to hire a white coach.
But, again, the Rooney Rule specifies The Denver Broncos have to interview a black coach.
How do you feel walking into that interview?
Oh, I don't know.
I'm not too concerned about their feelings.
Oh, I'm not either.
It's just you think, are they aware that they're just basically puppets in this racial game?
I suspect a lot of them are, but look, I would imagine also some of these five who got fired are going to be hired someplace else.
There's such a demand for black coaches.
There is a demand for black coaches, but the supply of actually quality black coaches is regrettably low, as we've seen at the college level, too.
But, you know, the idea, I'm sure, I mean, the tenor of the Washington Post and the New York Times, both their stories about this, was the sense that, oh, these poor blacks who are discriminated against.
I mean, they cannot get it through their heads.
And as they themselves point out, the players are 70% black.
Doesn't that suggest that race is not a barrier to success in this sport?
That if you can do the job, you'll get hired.
But no, no, not to these people.
Well, and just to point out, one of the black coaches who was fired had a winning percentage of 7.5%.
He was the coach of the Cleveland Browns.
I think they went 0-16 last year.
Oh, good grief.
And then they started the year, I think, 2-4, 2-5.
He was fired.
And then you look at the white coaches.
I mean, one of the white coaches that were fired, the guy Mike McCarthy, the Green Bay Packers, he's won a Super Bowl.
He had a winning percentage of 62%.
And still got fired.
And still got fired.
He had been a coach for a while.
The Green Bay Packers were.
Going the wrong way in terms of the franchise, and they missed the playoffs this year.
So he was fired.
But again, white coaches are held to a higher standard because there is no national outcry when a white coach is fired.
No one cares.
You move on, you get a better coach.
Amazing.
Well, here's another story.
This has to do with the New York State Legislature.
They have a caucus of black and Puerto Rican legislators and they run a charity called the Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators, Inc.
and its official mission is to quote, empower African American and Latino youth
through education and leadership initiatives by, and I continue to quote, providing opportunity to
higher education, namely scholarships. Well, they haven't given a single scholarship for the last two
years. This outfit shakes companies down.
AT&T, the Real Estate Board of New York, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision.
They go up to them and say, look, we're legislators.
We need money for scholarships for needy African-American Latino youth.
And they get these companies write checks.
The group in 2015 and 2016, they had more than half a million dollars in revenue.
What did they spend it on?
Well... This is one of those stories that you've seen everywhere if you're on social media.
A lot of the faux-conservative sites have probably got a lot of traffic on it because it's a clickbait story.
Well, here's what they spent that money on.
And I'd like to remind you that the mission is to, quote, empower African-American and Latino youth through education and leadership initiatives.
Alright, so what did they spend $500,000 on in 2015-2016 fiscal year?
Limousines and rap music.
And food when they watched rap music being performed and when they rode around in limousines.
Apparently, the main activity of this charity is holding a huge party and selling tickets to it that's supposed to raise money for providing scholarships, but apparently the tickets don't cover it, so they blow hundreds of thousands of dollars on this huge shebang, and then the money, not one penny, goes to these needy blacks and Hispanics.
The chairman of this organization, Assemblywoman Latrice Walker, she claims to have no knowledge of the fact the charity is failing to fulfill its mission.
Has no idea.
And then the charity's treasurer, this is Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, he said he had no idea what the charity does.
He says, I just sign the checks they give me.
And apparently the New York Post, they took the trouble to track down State Senator Leroy Comrie of the Queens.
He is number two in this group, but he refused to come out of his office when a reporter stopped by.
So, there you go.
They've head for the high grass, and it is true that they have, in fact, spent money on scholarships in the past.
In 2014-2015, the two previous fiscal years, they had $564,677 in revenue.
That's over half a million dollars.
They managed to spend $35,000 of it on scholarships.
$64,677 in revenue, that's over half a million dollars.
They managed to spend $35,000 of it on scholarships.
So, you cannot claim that they have completely failed their audience.
Well, they spent less than 10% that fiscal year on donations to help, again, as we said,
provide opportunity to higher education for...
Black and Latino youth.
But again, this is just a form of indulgences by these companies, paying tributes.
That's right.
So that they don't have to worry about any lawsuits that would come up from some low-level employee who the civil rights industry, Civil Rights Inc., can say, hey, let's have this guy sue AT&T for racial discrimination.
We found a letter in his mailbox or in his locker.
It was a racist letter from a co-worker.
And we'll settle out of court.
Well, this is just hush money.
You know, it is nevertheless sad.
I mean, if I could go back through all the issues of American Renaissance, all the way back to the print issues, too.
We were always digging up stories like this.
Here's some charity that is set up to help blacks or Hispanics.
It's run by blacks or Hispanics.
They get a lot of money from well-meaning white corporations and white individuals and white foundations.
And what do they spend it on?
Beefsteaks for the boys.
You find this over and over and over again.
And you've really got to wonder, presumably, don't they have some fellow feeling for the people that they're supposed to be representing?
They really end up, I hate to say this, like African dictators.
All they do is care about being number one big guy, and they don't care if they loot the treasury and the company.
The streets are unpaved and people are In misery.
It's a sad thing.
That improving their community is an irrelevant act for them.
Look at how many members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Mr. Taylor, are or have been under investigation
for ethics violations.
And of course, you hear cries of racism.
But hey, look, apply the law equally to everyone.
It's not that hard.
And this is one of those stories that, again, you see it's clickbait, and people laugh, and they say, oh, this is, again, what you've just said, this is emblematic of a far deeper problem within the character of this racial group.
It has a real significance.
And you say, you say, apply the law equally.
That's going to become more and more difficult to do.
Given the kind of powers that these people are going to end up with.
Given, for example, what happened in Texas in Harris County.
Harris County is the largest jurisdiction in Texas.
It includes Houston.
There are four million people in it.
As it turns out, Democratic candidates unseated more than 50 incumbent Republican judges.
Isn't that extraordinary?
Just in the last, the elections took place at the time of the midterms.
Of course.
And these were incumbent judges that were in civil, criminal, family, and probate courts.
These are not federal courts, but these still, they have quite an impact on society.
And just on, just last Tuesday, The newly elected judiciary for Harris County was sworn in, and I saw a photograph of this happy, happy occasion when 17 black women were all sworn in together.
They had a special ceremony just for them, and they were part of what they called the Black Girl Magic campaign.
So there has been a remarkable change in the judiciary in Harris County.
I thought it was quite interesting what the local Democratic Party posted on its website.
They say, quote, it's a brand new day in Harris County.
Black girl magic has brought you a brand new day.
Harris County Democratic Party chair, Lily Schechter, she says the county, quote, finally has a judiciary that truly reflects the different faces of the people that come before it.
And new criminal court judge Erica Hughes said of this black girl magic that is now going to be all across Harris County, she said it's Divine intervention.
Now have you ever been to Houston?
I've been to Houston, yes.
I think it's one of the largest cities in the country.
Around major cities like Atlanta you've got 285 and I think in Washington D.C.
you've got 395, the Beltline.
Houston actually has two.
Houston is such a big city that there are two of these bypasses that go around the city.
It is massive.
Houston's demographics, the county's demographics, well, let's be honest, it's 20% black and more than 40% Hispanic.
So you're talking about whites represent maybe 35%?
Maybe even less than that if you factor in Asians and all the other refugees that have poured into Houston.
That's right.
Well, as the newly minted judge, Dedra Davis, all part of the black girl magic, as she said, you had a judicial bench that did not look like the community.
People who had been there for a long time were basically living in a bubble.
Well, think of all those poor white people who are living in a bubble.
Practically all white people these days, I suppose, are living in a bubble.
If they think that there is not going to be black girl magic, or brown girl magic, or who knows what sort of magic cropping up in their neighborhood.
Well, you think about the population growth of a state like Texas, you think about these demographic centers.
A lot of the population growth is centered in, what, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, and Austin.
Gosh, I just saw a picture of the Austin skyline.
I was there in 2008 and it was a nice city, but I saw a picture and there were just cranes everywhere.
New skyscrapers, mixed-use developments going up, apartment complexes, these glass monstrosities.
Guys, 2020.
I think Texas I'm going to go out on a limb here and I'm going to make a prediction.
I know you don't like making predictions.
Texas is going to go blue in 2020.
It would surprise me.
Black girl magic.
You are going to see the most racial campaign imaginable.
You think that Beto O'Rourke, how close he came to unseating Ted Cruz was crazy?
Wait until you actually have a black candidate running for office in Kamala Harris and what she can do to, well, Let's get some of that divine intervention and that black girl magic rolling.
Texas flips blue.
Well, I know your money has been on Kamala for a long time, but who's that guy, Castro?
He was the mayor of... Raul Castro?
No, no, not Raul.
Is his name Raul?
He was the mayor of San Antonio and he was a HUD secretary under Obama.
He was HUD secretary under Obama.
He's got an exploratory.
Yes, he's throwing his hat in the ring.
You know, I think that a Hispanic man compared to a... I mean, and Kamala Harris is more or less black, but she's sort of a weird mix.
She's sort of like the Tiger Woods of politics.
You don't really know what she's composed of.
She's sufficiently lefty, of course, to get quite the following, but I think a Hispanic man has a better chance than Kamala Harris.
We'll see.
Because you won't see the same effect of what happened in a state like Georgia, where you were able to get so many black women out.
You have to be able to get, in a lot of these states, black women motivated to run.
We saw this in Alabama, when Roy Moore was defeated by Doug Jones.
Yeah, but there are more Hispanics than blacks these days, and I think there's still something of a sex premium when it comes to presidential candidates.
I think a man's going to do better than a woman.
Of course, we won't know for sure in the primaries.
In the primaries, it might work the other way around for Democrats.
A woman is going to be, oh, the new Messiah must be a woman.
So who knows?
But I think Castro could go far, too.
Well, you mentioned this.
It's not in our notes here, but I did want to bring up something about what this primary for the Democrats is going to be.
We saw, I believe in the New York Times, the piece about Bernie Sanders, where he had to
put out a mea culpa for, what, sexual harassment on his campaign.
And apparently he himself wasn't personally involved in any of it.
It's just accusations against some of the people that worked for him, and that's apparently
his fault.
Correct.
Good grief.
This stuff is really going too far.
And apparently one of the worst offenders was his main guy, who was in charge of Hispanic
outreach.
Oh, dear.
But that's not a pattern that we are going to recognize on a family-friendly show like this.
No, sir.
No, but unfortunately, elections have consequences and the racial change is happening all across the country, even in a state with a proud heritage and a proud people like Texas.
It's changing.
The other thing that I discovered about Texas is that Harris County, their chief executive is known as County Judge.
It seems like a very odd title for the chief executive of the county, but their brand-new, newly sworn-in, 27-year-old County Judge chief executive is a Colombian-American named Lina Hidalgo, the first Latina to hold that job.
Boy, things are changing.
27 year old.
I just don't think people understand what's happening.
Everyone thinks that Houston, Texas, great jobs, energy industry is booming.
Guys, there's another industry that's booming and that's the demographic calamity that's happening in that state.
In 2020, I think that Georgia and Texas are both going, unless something dramatic happens, Guys, read the tea leaves.
Just look at what's going on.
Look what happened in the midterms.
The midterms were a very bad precursor, that's for sure.
But, yes, yet another consequence of, well, this time it wasn't necessarily something that was a huge demographic shift, but it certainly was a huge PR shift.
And that was what happened in the St.
Louis County Prosecutor's Office.
As we know, the fellow McCulloch, Robert McCulloch, he was the St.
Louis County prosecutor who, back in 2014, gained notoriety in some circles and admiration in others for not bringing charges against the officer that shot Michael Brown.
Now, of course, the shooting of Malcolm Brown that led to all of these riots, headlines all around the world.
But Darren Wilson, who did the shooting, it was later discovered by none other than the Obama Justice Department, had behaved in an entirely defensible way in shooting.
Correct.
When you attack a police officer, punch him in the face, try to take his gun away from him, chances are you're going to come to a sticky end.
Yeah.
Only one outcome.
Yes, only one outcome.
Well, in any case, McCulloch lost in the primaries back in the summer to a young black guy, this new black guy, his name is Wesley Bell, and he just took office because there was no, let's see, that was a primary, I believe, and there was no opposition in the You know, St.
Louis County, it's a weird place.
Obviously, the state of Missouri is still basically a state that hasn't been impacted by the 1965 Immigration Act.
It's a white, black state.
And there's a lot of white people who are very conservative who still vote Democrat.
Yeah.
And St.
Louis County, Robert McCullough, you know, he was a Democrat, obviously, just like the party left Zell Miller, the Georgia governor who wrote a book, I believe, on that same title.
You know, unfortunately, He lost in the primary, and it was a shocking loss.
And he admitted in a subsequent interview, he said, hey, I lost because of Ferguson.
It's that simple.
No question about it.
No question about it.
But now that this guy's finally been sworn in, just sworn in on Tuesday, the first thing he did was fire A woman by the name of Kathy Alizadeh.
A-L-I-Z-A-D-E-H.
I don't know what sort of extraction she is, but apparently she had worked for the prosecutor's office since May of 1988, and she was the one who had gathered most of the evidence to present to the grand jury that led the grand jury to believe that there was no reason to file charges against Dr. Darren Wilson.
And of course what that means is she presented a fact-based case.
Well, that apparently was a hangin' crime in the eyes of the new black prosecutor, so she's out the door.
Apparently, though, that was not the reason that was given to her.
This new Wesley Bell guy gave her a two-page letter describing the grounds for termination.
She wouldn't go into what it said, but she's going to be talking to her lawyer.
Oh, there's going to be a race suit.
This is going to be fascinating to watch.
This reminds me of what happened in 2005 when Sheriff Victor Hill became the first sheriff of Clayton County.
First Black Sheriff.
First Black Sheriff, forgive me.
The first Black Sheriff of Clayton County.
It's a county right outside of Atlanta.
In fact, the airport, the largest airport in the world, the busiest airport in the world, is partially in Clayton County.
When Sheriff Victor Hill came in as the first Black Sheriff, what did he do?
He fired a bunch of white deputies.
That's right.
And had snipers run the roof.
There's a picture of Wesley Bell that accompanies the St.
Louis Post Dispatch story of the firing of Alizadeh.
I have your pronouncer last name.
Forgive me for not knowing how to pronounce your surname.
And it's just a bunch of his black colleagues.
They're all congratulating one another.
They're slapping him on the back saying, this is great.
They're all yucking it off.
It looks like a comedy show.
There's nothing but black faces.
There must be 20 black faces.
They're all just happy as can be.
Also, he fired a fellow by the name of Ed McSweeney.
He had been in the prosecutor's office for, I think, at least a dozen years, but he did something that probably was not guaranteed to keep him employed.
After the primary election, he wrote publicly, My boss was shockingly defeated in Tuesday's primary after 28 years, defeated by a Ferguson councilman with no trial experience.
And then he went on to say, county voters will soon regret what they did.
We're going to turn into another STL city.
In other words, we're going to be just like St.
Louis.
Bad news.
And he suggested the population of St.
Charles and Jefferson counties are both about to go up because white people are going to clear out.
And those are white-flight counties already.
That's actually where St.
Louis was rebuilt in St.
Charles and in Jefferson County.
But he's out.
But another thing that the new black prosecutor has said, he's no longer going to prosecute marijuana possession, even though it's still against the law in the state, and he's not going to prosecute failure to pay child support.
Now, this is like sanctuary cities, you know?
Isn't that going to encourage a non-payment of child support?
If you stop making people... A lot of people, you have to amend, you have to twist their arms to pay a child support, but if he's going to stop twisting their arms, they ain't going to pay.
So, a new day is dawning.
A new day is dawning in St.
Louis, thanks to Wesley Bell.
As you say, it'll be interesting to see how this lawsuit plays out between Kathy Alizadeh and her ex-new boss.
But yes, continuing in the theme that you set forth just now, the consequences of elections, the consequences of population change, we now have our first Palestinian representative in Congress.
She is a member of the Democratic Socialists, one of the most enthusiastic Abolish ICE crowd.
Her name is Rashida Tlaib.
And she's in John Conyers' old seat.
John Conyers was booted for sexual harassment allegations and she won another one of these cases where you win in the primary and there's just no Republicans in sight.
It doesn't make any sense to me that you wouldn't just have someone who would just throw their head in.
Like this 27-year-old Colombian-American who ran for Harris County's chief executive.
Why don't you just have Why can't you find some guy, some young guy, to just throw his hat in and run and just at least get some of the vote?
Just don't let these Democrats get in unopposed!
Unopposed just seems so wimpy, but I guess it's like the California Statehouse, you know?
There's just such a Democratic tidal wave that they know it's hopeless, but you think just as a pro forma matter, they'd try to make a horse race out of it.
So here, this Tlaib, she got 31% in the Democratic primary.
And so she didn't even get the majority of the Democratic vote.
Plurality, yeah.
Of just one party.
And she swans into Congress as the first Palestinian representative.
Now, I don't know her views on gun control, but I keep thinking that she'd be a real gun rights person, just judging from certain Palestinian actors.
She's got an NRAA rating, that's for sure.
Oh, does she?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, well, good, good.
Well, I'm looking for the silver lining.
Well, he might be.
What do you know?
That would astonish me, but you're such a straight guy, I fall for your jokes every time.
But Representative Rashida Tlaib, she's going to take the oath of office today or tomorrow?
She actually took the oath of office today.
She took the office today.
And she used the 1734 English translation of the Koran that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson and is now in the Library of Congress.
Just like Keith Ellison before her, she took the oath on the Koran rather than the Bible because that's her faith, but it's more to it than that.
What she told the Detroit Free Press is, quote, it's important to me because a lot of Americans have this kind of feeling that Islam is somehow foreign to American history.
She says the fact that Thomas Jefferson had that Bible proves that, quote, Muslims were there at the beginning.
Now, the fact that Thomas Jefferson had a Quran is... Hey, guys, America was always diverse.
Give us your country.
Give it up.
Thomas Jefferson, there was a Quran.
Before the United States existed, he had a Quran.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
That means, that means that they were, you know, they were present at the signing, present at the Declaration of Independence.
By osmosis, the country's theirs.
Just because of this Quran, Thomas Jefferson.
Good grief.
Good grief.
You know, Keith Ellison, when he swore, in his swearing, he said also,
it demonstrates that from the very beginning of our country, we had people who were visionary,
who believed that knowledge and wisdom could be gleaned from any different number of sources, including the Quran.
Well, the fact is, I mean, Jefferson, of course, he bought this Quran, and in the translator himself,
he wrote in his introduction that, and I'm quoting, it is absolutely necessary to undeceive those who,
From the ignorant or unfair translations which have appeared and have entertained too favorable an opinion of the original, that is to say the Koran, and to enable us effectively to expose the imposture.
He's saying, I suppose back in those days there was even Islam is the religion of peace nonsense going around.
And he says this translation is going to get to the real heart of the matter and prove those people wrong.
And the translator also wrote, the Protestants alone are able to attack the Quran with success and for them I trust providence has reserved the glory of its overthrow.
Boy, oh boy.
Here's a translation that is expressly, in the words of the translator, put out to get rid of any illusions that Islam is anything but alien.
But all these people are saying this proves that Muslims are here from the start.
One of the fascinating things about a Washington Post piece that I read by a gentleman by the name of Yair Rosenberg, He noted that, what you just said about this translation, the 1734 translation that was done by George Sell that Thomas Jefferson owned, he noted about that dichotomy that you mentioned.
He said, their twin Truths embodied in Jefferson's Quran that we must acknowledge about America's relationship with Muslims.
On one hand, as Tlaib rightly noted, the work's existence shows Islam has been a part of the American story from the beginning.
On the other hand, as Sale's translation reminds us, so is fear and misunderstanding Now, you read this and you realize, wait a second, just having a book in the country doesn't mean that Muslims were in or had anything to do with the founding of the nation.
But this is a retconning of American history.
It's funny, I think that Greg Hood has a brilliant piece up at American Renaissance right now about National Review basically saying, America was always diverse.
America was always diverse.
They managed to find, I think, 50 Asians, somehow, who participated in the Civil War.
Despite that, what, 3 million, 5 million Americans were mobilized to fight that war, and they find 50 Asians?
Well, we were always diverse.
Good.
Anyway, now this is the kind of lunacy that we have to put up with.
And even, I think, even the most loony liberals reading something like this, the fact that there is a Koran in Thomas Jefferson's library means that Muslims were here from the beginning?
How can anyone really believe that?
But I suppose it doesn't matter.
The truth doesn't matter anymore.
We can all just say diversity is our greatest strength.
Anyway, before we close, however, I do wish to remind our readers that we do plan to hold a conference this year. Now, we have had some legal difficulties with
Montgomery Bell State Park, which is where we usually have the conference, but we had a federal
judge issue an injunction telling them that they had to do as we say and write us a
clean contract that we can sign that will not saddle us with security costs. We expect
to get a clean contract, oh, hopefully in a week or so.
But those of you who are wondering, we will make a big announcement about our conference as soon as the Montgomery Bell State Park does what the federal judge tells it to.
So please be patient.
And I would like to say that to our listeners, because, hey, I know that you love, you're a man of prose and you're a fantastic writer, but there are listeners.
Oh, did I say readers?
You did say readers.
I say it all the time, too, and I did as we close out the first podcast of 2019.
I would like to encourage everyone, once again, head over to youtube.com, type in AmRedPodcast, subscribe so you get a notification The moment one of these podcasts goes up, and if you can't get enough of the hour you've spent with us, you can go back and listen to archives going back to when Donald Trump became president back in 2016.
They go back that far, guys and ladies, and we implore you, check them out.
So for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Our podcast time is up.
