Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to today's edition of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is Paul Kersey, the one and only.
And I'm delighted to have him on the line with me today.
We are going to begin by answering reader questions and relaying a few comments because we ordinarily put them off to the end, and in doing so, we shortchange them.
So we're going to start with some questions and comments and again we urge you to send your questions and comments because you really raise a lot of interesting points and we've had a number of very useful corrections too.
Well what's fascinating Mr. Taylor is that we have such a fantastic listening audience and I think that's one of the things that is a hallmark of American Renaissance that this great organization the New Century Foundation has cultivated such a wonderful whether it's a readership or a listening audience or a viewership because again we encourage you guys to head over to YouTube and subscribe to the American Renaissance channel because you can see Mr. Taylor's videos or we encourage you to go there and type in Ameren Podcasts and subscribe to this channel
We've been touched by a lot of not just questions but also Mr. Taylor I get a lot of fantastic just emails people saying we you know thank you.
Thank you guys and I'll tell you one of the things I know Jared is a very gracious individual, but I don't think he understands how
many lives he has truly impacted and and touched for the better in terms of you know the red pill so
to speak from the from the great matrix movies and We owe a lot to him. Well if there is a large number, it's
probably because I've been doing it for so long I don't claim to have any special talents in this
department Just persistence.
Consistency confirms commitment, though.
And we appreciate every listener question.
So before we begin, if it may be so bold to do this before the end of the podcast, if you have any questions, comments, Or anything you'd like it to address in a future podcast, please email them to sbpdl1 at gmail.com.
Once again, that's sbpdl1 at gmail.com or Please go to the www.amaran.com website and go to the tab that says contact us and you'll get straight through to us.
Now to begin with, there are a couple of questions here that really are part of the same family.
But one person says, just finished listening to your latest podcast.
Please consider discussing how we can, in general, navigate these dark times.
Also, how we might effectively resist the disempowerment of our people.
He goes on to say that I'm getting certified for a professional skill and will be self-employed.
I'm going to do everything I can to work only with white people.
And entities that at least do not support our enemies.
Well, how do we navigate these dark times?
There are many questions in that.
One is professionally, economically, and the other is psychologically.
And let's just talk about the professional part because some of the more psychological questions are raised in a different question.
And I believe what this reader is doing is very important.
Self-employment in a position where even if you are doxxed, where you have an independent client base or independent income base, that is very, very important.
In general, when I meet young people who have got, they're all fired up about, what can I do for our race and for our people?
They want to go head first into the movement in some way before they've even gone to college or gotten a professional qualification.
I always tell them, no, get yourself solidly situated, if possible, if possible, in a position where you cannot be undone.
Working for a big company, where you can be yourself, but even if that is not available to you, if you make money, then you can contribute to those of us who are in a position to be out and well-known, taking the heat.
But yes, it's very important professionally to get yourself into some kind of tenable position before you really take a public stand on any of these issues.
Here's some simple, quick, and easy to implement advice that I have.
Go to your Facebook page, look at anything that you've ever liked in terms of a group that's publicly available.
Make sure that you've never liked anything that is politically, how can I say this, contentious.
Don't like any groups that could get you in trouble, whether it's professionally or with your family.
In fact, if I were you, All listeners, go to your Facebook page and sanitize it as much as possible from like in any group or like in any book or like in any movie or like in anything that can be tracked and that can be used against you.
Let me put it this way.
The left wants to weaponize information.
We're going to talk a lot about these blackface photos from 30, 40 years ago, later in this podcast.
So why not go to your personal Facebook, your social media, and sanitize it of anything incriminating?
Well, also, from that point of view, whenever you put something in an email message, be very careful and ask yourself, would you be able to live with this if it showed up on the front page of your local newspaper?
Email can zip around the world in no time at all.
And even if you think what you're engaging in is private correspondence, it always has the potential to go public.
So keep that in mind.
Another thing when you're communicating about any remotely sensitive subject, there is no such thing in the left's eyes as a joke.
You may think that you just got off some extraordinary witticism It will not be seen as a witticism.
It will be used against you, for sure.
These are things you have to be very careful about.
So, yes, establish yourself professionally.
If you're self-employed, that's a great way to be.
And only then should you really move into any kind of movement activity.
And even then, It's not necessarily good for everyone.
Also, people have to worry about whether their families can put up with it, whether their wives or their children.
I think it's good to establish oneself as a family man.
I encourage our listeners to marry, to have children, and for that purpose as well.
You can't just go barging into some kind of activism without some kind of solid base with which to feed your family.
Now, I would go on to say we also had a similar message from a fellow who described himself as a proud father of several small children.
Well, the more the better.
Now, he says, given the incredibly liberal educational system and the noxious policy and social environment we live in, it's difficult to educate and to outreach to youth regarding race realism and white identity.
How do you start to educate young people?
They're very young.
5 to 10, even 10 years, about this in a tactful, decent way.
He says, how do you go about highlighting biology, science, facts, and logic?
Now, I would also point out, before we start answering that question, there's a related question here.
He said, this is another listener who says, I wonder if you'd explore the idea of members of the movement converging on some geographic location.
Such as Idaho, and then he gets quite carried away, Costa Rica, Hungary, or Uruguay, in order to establish communities.
As a model, note the significant political power that fringe Mormon groups have on parts of Utah, where members have taken over the local judiciary, banks, sheriffs, schools, etc.
They call the shots.
Now, those two are related.
Why?
Because, as the first questioner notes, in this incredibly hostile environment, it is so easy for children to be filled with anti-white poison, you can't even select what you think is a conservative private school and get a healthy message about our people, our history, and our prospects.
What do you do about it?
Either you are an isolated community or an isolated family in which, at home, you try to counter these noxious poisons.
Something else that people do is homeschool, but not everybody is in a position to homeschool, even not necessarily financially and not necessarily temperamentally.
And if you are one family and your children are in public schools or private schools, or in any case, schools in enemy territory, let's put it in those terms, you have to counter this in a very delicate and tactful way, as this person says.
In the case of my own children, I have tried to guide them gently but steadily in a sensible direction.
And for the most part, I believe I've succeeded.
I believe I mentioned on a previous podcast that in both cases, I accidentally, on purpose, drove into Anacostia.
Anacostia is one of the worst ghettos in DC.
It's really a wild and horrible place, especially in the summertime.
When everybody is out whooping and carrying on.
And I remember my oldest girl, I did it specifically in the summertime.
So, oh, got off the wrong place and sort of drove slowly through some of these neighborhoods.
And my oldest daughter, when I did this, she's looking out the window, her eyes as big as saucers.
She said, Daddy, why don't I like this place?
Well, I had a good answer for her, as you can imagine.
Something similar happened to me when I was a lot younger and the city That I grew up, the suburb where I grew up, we went into the major city and I don't know if it was deliberate, but it had the same impactful message.
And if I might add, we've come into possession of an amazing pamphlet called Rearing White Children.
Say that three times fast.
And we hope to have that put into PDF form soon on the Ameren site.
It's something that one of the main speakers of AR who's spoken at every conference, I might add, gave to me.
And we've been meaning to put that up and photocopy it because it was written, my goodness, back in the early 1980s.
And there's a fantastic treatise on how to rear white children.
And one of the main things that it says in this book, Mr. Taylor, is drive them from the area they live That's a very, very vivid experience.
near where they live.
It'll undoubtedly be a people of color frequented area and show them the difference of what can happen.
That's a very, very vivid experience.
Also, from a very young age, I think it's important when children discover the whole concept of race.
I remember my younger daughter commenting on the fact that, she says, Daddy, if a white person marries a black person
and they have a baby, it's gonna be a brown baby.
I said, Yes, that's right.
Now, we have been white people for tens of thousands of years.
And we like being white.
And all of your ancestors were white people.
And we would prefer that we just continue to be white because we like being white.
And just leave it at that.
Just plant that idea of liking being white.
These things come up in funny sorts of ways.
And I think that if people try to really cram this stuff down their children's throats, you can overdo it.
Backfire.
It will backfire.
They'll go running off in the wrong direction.
It is a very difficult and delicate thing to try because in effect we are rearing children to basically disbelieve everything their teachers are telling them.
Revolt against the modern world.
I like to think about what the Individuals who are in Silicon Valley are doing with their children.
I've read a lot about what Steve Jobs, about what Bill Gates, about what Elon Musk, about what Jeff Bezos, and all these individuals who run these Silicon Valley companies, what they do with their kids.
They don't allow them to even go anywhere near Technology, in a lot of ways.
They want them to be kids.
So what I would do, if I were you, think about how every aspect of our lives, when you're in front of a television, when you're in front of a computer, when you're in front of, if you're watching Netflix, everything is weaponized against you.
All programming, all commercials, all sitcoms, all children shows.
Emulate what Silicon Valley, what the parents are doing for their children, and have them read books that were written 100 plus, 150, 200, Plus, years ago.
It doesn't have to be that old.
It doesn't have to be that old, but I'm talking about, you know, there are ways to insulate where you're not even having to indoctrinate from a racial standpoint.
You're just putting them in a world that is completely removed from the... I can assure you, it's not easy to say, read these books.
After a certain age, children are going to read the books that they want to read.
Once they're teenagers, or even once they're even 10 years old.
But you have to be in a position to comment on them.
One thing that I did rearing my children, we never had television in the house.
Never.
No television.
Now, they watched things on Netflix, or they watched things that we had back in the old days.
There was no Netflix.
We would get these cassette tapes, for heaven's sake.
Watch things that we know what they are.
And I used to spend a lot of time watching these things with my children.
And then you're in a position to comment on some obvious double standard.
Can you give me an example?
Oh, gosh.
The typical comedy is one in which there are bumbling white people and it's black people who come to the rescue.
And you say, well, how realistic really is this?
And just leave it at that.
Just leave it at that.
This kind of thing happens all the time, as you know.
Ideally, of course, you get movies that do not have that kind of theme, but when it comes out, When it comes up, you point it out.
So, to the extent possible, and it is not possible completely to govern their lives, because these days, children even in grade school, they'll have smartphones, they can get on the internet and watch anything they like!
Unless you really want to put them in a dungeon, it's very difficult to control that.
So you have to, to some degree, gently and subtly, try to get them in a healthy direction.
And I think it's also Profoundly important that you have a fundamentally good and deeply loving relationship with your children.
Spend as much time with your children as possible so they are devoted to you just as you are devoted to them and then they are more likely to take you seriously.
They are less likely to say, well my teacher says that black people continue to suffer.
We are discriminating brutally against black people and that's why X.
If your child says, that's what my teacher says, you have to be someone that they can respect.
Now, it's hard to do when they're going through middle school and they're tending to dismiss everything you say.
They suddenly discover that you're the stupidest guy in the world.
But all of this, I think, the effectiveness that you can have with your children is based on the solidest possible relationship of love.
I think that that was a beautifully Articulated statement by you, Mr. Taylor.
I'd like to add, do everything you can, dear listener, to keep your children away from interacting with and interfacing with an iPad.
Don't just give them your smartphone to occupy their time.
Like Mr. Taylor said, you occupy their time.
You are their mother.
You are their father.
You are the individual.
You don't want the state Dictating their education.
And you certainly don't want Hollywood dictating their education.
Exactly.
You don't want Netflix.
You don't want YouTube, which is owned by Google.
You need to step up.
And that's why I brought up the idea of what the tech titans, what they're doing with their kids.
They don't want that to happen.
They want to have as much interpersonal time with their children as possible.
And that is what you need to do as a good white father or a good white mother.
And this is what brings me to the question about communities.
Now, I don't think that racially conscious white people should all run away to Costa Rica.
I think that we should develop communities here in the United States.
Because, just like this person mentioned the Mormons, when I was living in California, I had a fair amount of contact with Mormons.
And I was...
I was very impressed by the kind of community that they have.
Their social lives are spent with the people that go to their church.
And that means that if your children go to someone else's home, they're going to get the same orientation, the same set of values that you have in your home.
Here, I live in Northern Virginia.
My children go to somebody's home.
I can't dope every set of parents.
I don't know who they are.
And I can't very well say either, no, no, no, you're going to stay here.
You live in a hermetically sealed environment.
And I can tell you just how reassuring and relieving it would be if I had a community in which, if I knew they went to their children's homes, they would be people that I knew, people whose values were similar to mine.
And for that, you have to have community, just as this questioner says.
And I don't think we have to go to Costa Rica or Hungary or Uruguay in order to do this.
We, by now, we have enough numbers so that I think we could establish populations in certain areas, maybe a place with a small school district, and we could eventually elect the mayor, we could elect the town council, the sheriff, the school board.
I don't think these things are out of reach if we have the will to make it happen.
Not just like the Mormons either.
The Orthodox Jews have taken over certain cities.
Monsey, New York.
New Square.
These places are Basically run and occupied exclusively by Orthodox Jews.
Correct.
For the very same reasons I mentioned.
You go to a friend's house, you know that that household is going to be Orthodox.
They're your people.
You can count on them.
That would make rearing children in these evil times vastly, vastly easier.
Not an easy thing to do, but I remember years ago reading about some clan of blacks They were called the Nuwabians.
Do you remember them?
I do not.
They were in Georgia.
They had several... I think, as I recall, they had 1,500 black people all living in this sort of area.
They claimed that they were Egyptian.
They built these fake Egyptian icons.
It was not icons.
It was pyramids and temples.
And they had 1,500 black people.
And they were just deluded weirdos who practically worshipped this oddball who ran it.
If they can get 1,500 people to move to a community, surely racially conscious white
people could do the same thing.
And remember Jim Jones?
How many people did he have down there in Guiana?
Thousands.
Good grief!
You have these utter goofballs, cuckoo birds leading communities of that kind.
We should be able to do something certainly as good as that.
And I'm a little disappointed that I'm not aware of any real communities that have started in that direction, but in order to rear children in these evil times, that would be the only way that you could do it with real confidence.
Well, unfortunately in America, implicitly, you would think that you could say suburbs are, but there's not been an explicit opportunity.
Obviously, you scoff and you're correct in doing that.
I grew up in an area of the country that was, I feel like it was incredible where I grew up, and you're talking about your parents, you're not knowing where your children are going.
I can remember, you know, I grew up Methodist but I would go to friends families that were Baptist or Presbyterian or Episcopalian or Catholic and obviously my parents never worried because everyone was was Caucasian but I think you're exactly right which brings me to a very important question that I think In light of what we're talking about, the creation, the establishment of all white communities, one of the reasons why it's so difficult is Antifa motives.
And the question is, quote, what do you and Mr. Kersey think motivates anti-white white people, i.e.
people that are not benefiting economically or socially from anti-whiteness?
I'm talking true believers.
What do you think is their psychology?
Do you think Antifa really think they are carrying out a communist revolution?
As a former leftist, I can appreciate why the left once appealed to some people, but they say they don't understand the psychology behind the anti-white white people.
End quote.
Well, what is your answer to that question?
This is something that I've never quite understood.
I've had friends who I thought were normal as can be and then it turns out that they're They start talking about white privilege and all this nonsense.
Well, you clearly didn't have the benefit of once being a leftist.
No, I did not.
Yes.
Well, I think those of us who were once leftist, those of us who crawled out of that leftist dark hole, have a certain insight on that.
And I will confess something of which I'm deeply ashamed at this point, but when you're a lefty, You feel as though your opponents are not just wrong, but inferior to you.
You think you are their moral superior.
And when I was in college, for example, I didn't think that there was anything wrong with the country that raising the corporate income tax could not cure.
The environment could cure everything, and white people just had to work harder to be nicer to all these wonderful non-white people.
It is a sense of being virtuous.
And I think by saying that all white people are racist, you're saying, all white race, all white people, but me.
The wrong white people.
Yes.
Correct.
All of those awful white people, I'm better.
It's a way of saying, not only, it's implicitly a way of saying, not only am I better than black people or Hispanic people, I'm even better than white people.
What could be better than that?
It's this sense of fantastic virtue, fantastic righteous indignation about the sins of one's own people.
There's something about white people, I think, that makes them pleased to turn on their own group.
As a friend of mine once put it, white people love to feel good about themselves by feeling bad about being white.
This idea of being superior to one's own fallen group.
I think that's a very important part of it.
But unless you have something to add, there's another question here.
No, I think you nailed that perfectly.
The final question we have is, how far is the limit that the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates could go publicly on anti-white positions?
Could extreme positions such as reparations or a white privilege tax become part of the mainstream platform if candidates are asked about those issues in a town hall?
Would the benefits to white racial consciousness of these discussions playing out on the national stage outweigh the risks of having them actually getting implemented?
I think this is an amazing question.
I am an accelerationist.
I am wholeheartedly for Kamala Harris being out there talking about making semi-automatic weapons illegal, putting a tax on ammunition, talking about how we need to have a national conversation on racism, homophobia, blah blah blah, and try and find ways to get rid of it, i.e.
state intervention against racists.
I think that what happened today, today's what, February 7th?
Today, Ms.
Cortez, our favorite beloved House of Representatives member, the junior congresswoman from New York, put out her Green Agenda and she basically cried about why we need to defund ICE and how this land is stolen from brown people.
More, more, more of that possible because there are still a lot of white people who need a good knock on the noggin to wake up from their slumber.
And to be specific in answering this question, how far is a Democratic presidential candidate likely to go publicly?
I think one thing we could certainly get is an open call for reparations, reparations for blacks.
This is going to come back more and more powerfully, I believe, as the presidential campaign wends its way forward.
And one of the interesting things about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Who is one of the people that Mr. Kersey seems to admire the most.
She is talking about reparations not just for blacks but for Hispanics.
Why stop with Hispanics?
Why not go for Asians?
Asians have had this done to them and that done to them and the Chinese were told to cut their pigtails.
Everything you can think of.
And so yes, all of this I think is entirely possible in the presidential campaign and I believe that, as this person points out, are the risks of raising them at town hall meetings?
Are there any risks there?
I say no!
Go ahead and ask them!
Are you in favor of reparations not only for the descendants of former slaves, but also Hispanics, all non-whites?
Would you support a white privilege tax?
Would you support a quotas for non-whites on the corporate boards of the Fortune 500?
Would you support quotas for non-whites on juries?
Would you make it impossible for having an all-white jury, for example?
Go ahead and ask those questions because, and this has been one of the great benefits of Donald Trump in the White House, the battle lines become clearer and clearer and clearer.
They are coming out in the most obtrusively anti-white way, and the clearer they are, the better it is for us.
Remember who gave the official Democrat response to President Trump's State of the Union this past Tuesday?
Stacey Abrams, who was barely denied the governorship of Georgia, and she is strong on reparations, she's strong on criminal justice reform, i.e.
let's get as many black and brown people out of jail as possible, and of course, sandblasting Stone Mountain.
Guys, ladies, I encourage you, as Mr. Taylor did, go to these town halls where these Democratic candidates are going to be and ask them questions that force them to comment publicly on whether or not they will adhere to the increasingly anti-white party line of the Democratic Party.
But don't put it in terms of anti-white.
Ask them what they're in favor of.
If they talk about removing Confederate monuments because the Confederacy said for slavery, go ahead and ask them.
Why should we have a Jefferson Memorial?
Shouldn't we tear that down?
Shouldn't we rename Washington, D.C.?
Push them in the directions that are logical.
Logical based on what they have been proposing.
But anyway, we've spent practically half the program answering questions.
And we've really got a lot to cover.
And I suppose we should move on to What apparently, according to the New York Times, has turned the entire state government in Richmond, Virginia, into turmoil.
Of course, it has to do with last week, Ralph Northam of the Democratic government, the governor.
It turned out that in his medical school yearbook 35 years ago, there was a racist photo.
Now, this is being referred to constantly as a racist photo.
How can a photo be racist, by the way?
In any case, inanimate objects, it doesn't seem to me, can be racist.
But this is racist because, as everyone by now knows, but I suppose I should repeat it anyway, there was a photograph of a white man in blackface and somebody in a Klan robe.
And they're happily drinking beer or drinking something at a party.
Now, some people speculate, looking at a visible hand of the person in the Klan robe, that this might be a black person.
I don't know.
The fact is, if you have a Klansman and a black person happily drinking beer together, you could call this a photo of racial reconciliation.
No one seems to have thought of that.
But in any case, first of all, Northam says he wasn't in it.
He wasn't there and not a picture of him.
He never saw the photograph before the yearbook ever came out.
It's just he's going round and round and round and ever, ever.
Ever increasing circles.
But then he did confess that in 1984 he did dress up as Michael Jackson.
He blacked up his face and did a moonwalk!
What's fascinating is during that press conference he didn't note the irony of dressing in blackface considering that Michael Jackson spent the bulk of his adult life trying to become a white male.
That's right.
Or an androgynous white individual I guess you could say.
Getting whiter and whiter.
Of course now, Attorney General Mark Herring, he was one of the first to pile up on the governor saying, he's got to resign, he's got to resign, this is hate, this is no good.
No, it turns out, he too, when he was an undergraduate at UVA in 1980, he dressed up as a rapper and blacked his face!
Now, it seems ironic that a guy who insisted that the governor resign for this particular crime has now confessed to it himself and he's still in office.
But, and I thought this was very yesterday, yesterday, Wednesday morning, he met with black lawmakers and they had an emotional, an emotional meeting.
And one of the black ladies who was there, State Senator Louise Lucas, she said the Attorney General wiped tears from his cheeks while he confessed to this sin, and the other legislators also cried.
So they had a good cry together.
And as he says, as this guy now says, Mark Herring, the shame of that moment, he's talking about not talking to the black legislators, which may be what he should be talking about, the shame of that moment when he dressed up in blackface has haunted me for decades.
Well, apparently there are now people who are thinking, well, it's up to the black legislative caucus.
If they say he can stay, then he can stay.
They hold the power.
Exactly.
Now, you talk about black-run America, and I never liked that expression, but, you know, it's becoming truer and truer.
Well, I don't, again, and I've said this, it's not that blacks run America, it's that America is run for blacks.
And you think back to the 1980s, Obviously, I'm not going to say when I was born, but the point is, in the 1980s, there was a movie, Mr. Taylor, called Soul Man that came out with C. Thomas Howell.
It's about a white guy who couldn't get into Harvard, so he does what?
He paints himself black, and he puts in his black on his college admission, and he gets into Harvard.
Of course.
It's a comedy, and the movie Trading Places with Dan Aykroyd.
Gosh, I can't think of his name right now.
One of the black actors.
Dan Aykroyd does blackface in the movie.
No one raised an eye over it.
I don't understand.
If you dress up as a pirate, you can put on an eyepatch.
If you dress up as...
Michael Manley, Prime Minister of Jamaica, you're not supposed to black your face?
What's going on?
At one time, the Jamaica bobsled team, everybody was admiring that this Caribbean island had a bobsled team for the Winter Olympics.
People dressed up like that and they blacked their faces.
Why is this hate?
This photograph of Northam or whoever it is in the yearbook, this is all just redolent with hate.
In any case, yes, apparently the fate of the Attorney General is in the hands of the Black Legislative Caucus.
And so it's a good thing that they had a nice cry together.
That probably inoculated—if he had just sort of shrugged it off and said, yeah, but it was long ago, then, you know, he did a very clever thing.
What does this whole episode say about white people, Mr. Taylor?
Oh, well, let's go a little further.
A little further into the folly of this.
Because I think it's important to realize that, as everyone now knows, the Lieutenant Governor, the black man, Mr. Fairfax, he's now been accused by a woman by the name of Vanessa Tyson She seems to be a light-skinned black woman.
When I first heard about Vanessa Tyson, I wondered whether she might be white, but apparently she is not white.
They met in 2004 at the Democratic National Convention.
She was 27 years old.
He was 24.
And two years later, he got married, so I gather they were both single at the time.
And on some pretext, he said, Mr. Fairfax said that he had to go get something in his hotel room.
Let's stretch our legs.
Fine.
Off they go to his hotel room.
And all of a sudden he starts kissing her.
And then I suppose, dare I read from the official statement?
You can read from the official statement.
Yes.
Mr. Fairfax.
He put his hand behind my neck and forcefully pushed my head towards his crotch.
Only then did I realize he'd unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants, and taken out his penis.
He then forced his penis into my mouth.
Utterly shocked and terrified, I tried to move my head away but could not because his hand was holding down my neck and he was much stronger than me.
Bad grammar.
Sorry.
As I cried and gagged, Mr. Fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him.
So, that's her story, and she's sticking to it.
He says it was all entirely consensual.
Who the heck knows?
These things are very murky.
But she still identifies herself as a proud Democrat.
Now, reportedly, in some closed-door meeting in which Mr. Fairfax, Lt.
Governor, was discussing the accusations against him, he was reported to have said, well, fuck that bitch.
Which seems like the wrong approach to take.
But now he's saying, you know, we call these things seriously.
Me too is important.
But anyway, he is in trouble.
And although it is odd that at the time of the Brett Kavanaugh business, all the Democrats were saying women must be believed.
There's no question about their veracity.
They're sort of mum about this.
People are saying that there has to be an investigation.
Well, remember, Ms.
Tyson, who's also a doctor, like the accuser of Brett Kavanaugh, who also has a PhD, she tried to speak to the Washington Post about the allegations before he was sworn in as lieutenant governor last year.
But Jeff Bezos' personal blog decided not to publish her account because it could not be corroborated.
And I suspect it never will be corroborated.
How can it be?
It's he said, she said.
That's right.
Just the two of them in there.
Now, it's interesting to me that Mr. Fairfax is claiming he's already pointing the finger.
He says that Governor Northam and maybe some political enemy of his, Mayor Lever Stoney, had set this woman on him.
There's absolutely no evidence for that, but now he's really lashing out at everybody.
I find it very curious that Lt.
Gov.
Fairfax has hired the same legal team that represented Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process, and in a perfect example of fearful symmetry, Vanessa Tyson, his accuser, has hired the same legal team that represented Brett Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.
Beautiful symmetry there.
Isn't that extraordinary?
Now, Northam, he's been in hiding.
It's quite hilarious.
But he has hired a Washington-based communication firm, led by blacks, to help dig him out of this hole.
And the company's chairman, Jarvis C. Stewart, was expecting to sit down today, on this very day, with Al Sharpton!
The Reverend Al is going to help him weather this storm.
Now, of course, Sharpton has been forcefully calling for these white guys, Mr. Northam, Mr. Herring, Now, did we talk about Mr. Herring?
We did.
Yes, that both these guys who've got blackface in their past, he's insisting that they resign.
On the other hand, he says, Mr. Fairfax deserves a fair investigation.
Of course!
Racial solidarity in the face of sexual assault charges, right?
Yes, yes.
He's one of the brothers!
Of course he deserves a fair investigation.
And no, it's so hilarious that nearly every major state and national democrat is saying the governor's got to resign.
But now, the three that are in line, I suppose we should point out, that after the governor, If he got knocked off, along with the governor, then it is the attorney general who would take over.
Mark Herrod, correct.
Yes, all three of these guys have got scandals on their past, and apparently, this is an interesting thing, all these people who piled on and said the governor's got to resign, when he was the one guy, they've sort of shut up about everybody else.
I guess if it turns out there are lots and lots and lots of people in your party who are bad, then it's okay.
In any case, but, you know, what I find, well, again, apparently just today Mr. Northam talked to his Lieutenant Governor.
Governor talked to Lieutenant Governor for the first time since all of this came out.
It was a telephone conversation.
And apparently, as they explained to each other, they are both praying for each other.
Now, that'll lead to a political solution, I'm sure.
They're praying for each other.
But, what I like best about all of this is the way yesterday's New York Times described the situation, and I quote, Grim-faced legislators rushed through the hallways, shaken by a series of allegations and confessions.
Democratic lawmakers were all but paralyzed in the face of a deeply painful sequence of events.
Legislators expressed open bewilderment.
Now, what I want to know is, is anybody laughing?
I think this is one of the most hilarious things that's happened in a long time.
It truly is.
You know, this comes on the heels of the Secretary of State in Florida.
Mr. Taylor resigning.
A Republican, white guy.
He resigned without question.
He didn't even protest.
He just resigned.
He was a younger guy.
He was Secretary of State because he was shown in pictures.
I guess it was after a Hurricane Katrina and a blackface party.
A Hurricane Katrina party.
I guess it happened on a college campus.
He resigned immediately.
Right.
And yet, now we have Northam, we have Haring, who are standing firm.
Yes.
They're not resigning.
Well, you know, Haring apparently says, I realize that this could cost me my job.
He apparently has thrown himself at the mercy of the Black Legislative Caucus.
He's effectively said, if my black colleagues tell me I can stay, then I'll stay.
But Northam, you know, you've got to hand it to him.
Practically every Democrat you've ever heard of.
Everyone.
With one exception.
You know who has said, what prominent Democrat has said?
It was a juvenile joke, let him stay.
You know who said that?
Wow, I, uh, who?
Joe Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman.
Yes!
Well didn't Joe Lieberman become an Independent though when he lost in a primary?
I think he ran as Independent.
That's right.
But didn't he come back to the Democratic fold?
I don't know.
In any case, Joe Lieberman is standing up, is standing up for the Governor.
Isn't that something?
Well, I mean, again, here's the question.
I asked you, what is wrong with white people?
You have a situation where you have a, well, there's a lot, but you have a situation, yeah, you have a situation where you have sexual assault happening in 2004.
That's 15 years ago, roughly, or less than 15 years ago, because it happened at the DNC in June or July of 2004.
These pictures are from 30, 35 years ago.
At a time when, guys, go back and try and look at the data that exists.
There was no Klan violence.
The Ku Klux Klan at that point was an FBI front trying to frame people.
There was a movie that was just made about it called Blaxploitation.
It was a Spike Lee movie.
I mean guys, there weren't lynchings going on.
There wasn't racist white violence against blacks going on.
It was a Halloween party.
And the point is, dressing up in blackface was not considered the mortal sin that it is today.
It just wasn't.
And I never quite understood how it suddenly became this morally invalidating thing to have done, but apparently it's just one of those things.
And it makes you wonder, of course we're not allowed to dress up like Mexicans.
No sombreros.
That's an insult.
Can we dress up like a Japanese samurai?
Does that insult the Japanese samurai?
Well, Tom Cruise made a lot of money being the last samurai, and Brad Pitt, when a movie came out in 2003, was the last Mexican.
But remember there was that high school girl who wore a Chinese outfit to the prom, and she got all sorts of hell for this, a cultural appropriation.
Now, can I dress up like a Spanish bullfighter?
Is that insulting to bullfighters, or is that okay?
What can you dress up for, and what can't, and why?
It's all shifting territory here, but it all boils down to keep There's a great individual on Twitter named Porter who pointed out that for young people, how are you able to navigate the shifting
The shifting sands of what is cultural appropriation or not.
How can you know what's going to be bad 10 years in the future?
So the best thing is don't take pictures.
Well, that's true.
Something that would have been perfectly okay 30 years ago is now all of a sudden wrong.
How can you really hold people responsible for that?
I guess they don't have any qualms about it at all.
And just as we close off this part of the conversation, the movie I was talking about was Trading Places with Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy, which was one of the biggest comedies of, I think, 1984 or 85.
And there's a blackface scene.
And again, if this was so bad, why would Eddie Murphy have said, oh yeah, I'm fine doing this, let's go ahead and, you know, let's start rolling.
And obviously you've probably never seen it, but in the 2000s there was a whiteface movie, Mr. Taylor, called White Chicks.
Where the Wayans brothers dress up in whiteface.
I actually have heard of it, but I've never seen it, of course.
But yes, I've heard of it.
Well, you know, people used to talk about blacks, referred to blacks as Negroes.
Now, if you talked about Negroes today, that's deeply racist.
But, I bet, if you go back far enough, you can find living people today who wrote about Negroes.
Is that going to be held against them, too?
Or colored people, which has now become people of color.
I prefer to just call them Africans in America.
Because, again, They're just visiting.
No.
Hey, I'm joking.
Well, I'm probably not, but let's move forward to a... Yes, tell us about Jussie Smollett.
This is something that we wanted to touch on last week.
I was able to convince Mr. Taylor in pre-production that we should hold off because there wasn't enough information yet to determine whether or not this was a elaborate hoax that those on the rapidly anti-white left wanted to latch on to because it projected their
thoughts on Make America Great Again hat-wearing white conservatives.
Obviously, don't go into too much detail here, this is a black, I believe a black homosexual
actor who was supposedly attacked by two white assailants at 2am.
on the morning of January 29th.
Like I said, at 2 a.m.
when this was one of the coldest days of the year.
It was minus 12 degrees outside.
A wind chill of minus 20.
This is one of those cold, terrifyingly freezing days that Chicago is famous for.
And white rednecks love to walk around when it's minus 12 degrees.
Yeah, especially at 2 a.m.
in Chicago.
They're just wandering around.
Yeah, in a heavily black part of Chicago.
So Smollett claimed that he was attacked by two men who called this Empire actor.
Of course, Empire is a show on Fox about black rat moguls.
They said, you know, I'm not going to repeat it because we are sometimes a PG show.
They basically use a racial epithet and a pejorative and an expletive.
F the end.
They beat him, poured an unknown chemical substance which I believe was identified initially as some form of bleach or acid on him, and then they put a rope, a noose, around his neck.
One report went so far as to claim the attackers used their teeth as well as their hands as weapons because Mr. Smollett claimed that he was bitten.
Obviously, when you're going to attack someone that you know is both black and homosexual, you're going to bite them because, hey, that's how the spread of HIV is done.
And obviously, yes, two white MAGA hat-wearing hillbillies from, I don't know, what part of?
Naperville, Illinois?
I don't know.
How far out would hillbillies traverse?
Oh, I bet they drove all the way from eastern Kentucky.
What is this?
The next of kin with Patrick Swayze?
But anyways, this story went viral.
This story went viral, Mr. Taylor.
Obviously, you're not available to be on Twitter, but this went faster than the Jasmine Barnes story.
Obviously, most people are like, hey, wait, wait, who's Jasmine Barnes?
Guys, that was the black girl that we were told a white guy in a red pickup truck killed, which, of course, it turned out that two black gangbangers did that in Houston.
This story though has still not died.
Smollett is still standing by his story.
Police arrived at his residence.
He was still wearing this rope.
Right now Chicago Police detectives are trying to find out the origin of this rope.
They can't do that yet because there's no video evidence this attack ever happened.
He's not cooperating.
He's not turning his phone over.
He claims he was on a phone with his manager when this occurred if that actually happened maybe he'll have the recording he won't do it he won't cooperate well and apparently it's the manager who heard that this is MAGA country yes he claimed that Smollett claimed that while this while this
stereotypical hillbilly white attack was transpiring they decided to let off this is MAGA country at 2 a.m.
when it's negative 12 degrees with a negative 20 degree wind chill in Chicago Illinois and they kindly let him continue his conversation you know if you're beating a guy and biting him and putting rope around his neck don't you think you'd stop him having a phone conversation But anyway, these hillbillies just don't know what they're doing.
As I alluded to, the Chicago Police Department, they are going all in on this report, on this investigation.
And Chicago Police Department spokesman, Anthony Giuliani.
Wow, actually it's a great Italian name.
Guglielmi.
Guglielmi.
He said, quote, we are starting to search stores to see if any of this type of rope was purchased in the area.
We got the FBI involved.
Now Smollett was on camera for roughly about, for all but 60 seconds of this trip.
This makes it impossible for what he claims to have occurred to have transpired.
Not impossible.
It could have happened in those 60 seconds that just happened not to have been on camera.
Come on.
Come on.
Stranger things have happened.
They have.
Stranger things have happened.
But again, when he came into his apartment, when he came into the area where he lives, he was carrying a sandwich.
We have that on film.
He has a Subway sandwich.
So he had time to stop and end this attack by the two MAGA hat wearing hillbillies He had time to get a Subway sandwich. Come on guys. So the
police superintendent, obviously the Chicago police, they're showing signs of
extreme skepticism.
Obviously Smollett is still being considered a victim, but investigators have found that if he
filed a false report he would be held accountable. Now throughout all this, obviously this was
supposed to reflect poorly upon President Trump, who has, when he was asked about this during a
press conference he responded, quote, I think that's horrible.
It doesn't get worse as far as I'm concerned."
Well, Mr. Trump, President Trump, it does get worse.
This was done deliberately.
This alleged attack, I believe by the time that we convene next week for the next edition of Renaissance Radio, this will have come out as a hoax and Smollett will be Well, we'll see what happens with the Chicago Police Department.
We'll see what happens.
It's so rare that these hoaxers ever get anything other than an admonition.
But you know, for Donald Trump, even if this were absolutely as explained, there were pictures of this This fellow immediately afterwards, he didn't look badly damaged at all.
No.
And for Donald Trump, Donald Trump is just trying to show, oh, I feel your pain.
I'm a good anti-racist just like all you Democrats.
By saying this, it doesn't get worse as far as I'm concerned.
I thought this was just an incredible remark on his part.
Of course, he is just leaping to the conclusion that these bad hillbillies, bad white hillbillies, just like everybody else.
I mean, I know you have a certain residual respect for the man in the White House, and I have certain residual hopes, but not much respect.
Well, again, it comes down to this.
This is the type of story that is catnip for the leftists who patrol and who control Twitter.
The Blue Checkmark Brigade.
This was a story that went viral.
There were multiple iterations that he had broken ribs.
Like I said, he had potentially bleach porn on him.
All of this turned out to not be true, and that was what propelled the story from outlets like TMZ to, again, Washington Post, Jeff Bezos' blog, because the left is searching desperately for white racists.
They want to find this, and as you noted so slyly many times in this podcast, The demand outstrips the supply, and that's why they're going back 30, 40, 50 years, going back through people's yearbooks.
At a time when the morality of this country was controlled by whites.
White people didn't have to apologize 24-7, 365, for being white.
They do now.
Well, and it looks like LA's got to apologize.
LA does have to apologize.
Mayor Eric Garcietti has ordered the Los Angeles Police, once one of the more venerable organizations in all of the world, That was before a guy named Rodney King came along.
Unfortunately, the LA police have had to scale back on vehicle stops because an investigation by the Los Angeles Times has shown that an elite unit has pulled over a disproportionate number of blacks.
Now, of course, a disproportionate number of blacks in the eyes of the media is more than one.
But in this case, the Metropolitan Division officers stop blacks at a rate more than five times their share, Mr. Taylor, of the population.
Well, you know, it depends on the part of the area, too.
In South LA, which is 31% black, 65% of the drivers stopped were black.
So that's, you know, maybe twice their share of the population.
But overall, Los Angeles, and we're talking about small numbers, really, if you're talking about all of Los Angeles.
Yes, they are more likely to be stopped.
But I think it's very important here that what they do is they stop for minor violations.
They don't just stop anybody.
A broken taillight or, you know, the license plates off the car.
They can't just stop anybody.
And the other thing is, and we've spoken about this over and over, most of the time, if you see a car, unless you're right next to it, you don't know the race or the drive.
I'll give you an example.
So a couple of thanksgivings ago I was in my hometown and I drove my mother's car and she had on her license plate on the on the back she had a cover over it so you actually it was very difficult to see it wasn't not sure what type of plexiglass you would you would call it but it made it very difficult to see The year that it was registered.
Right.
And I was pulled over.
I was going to watch a movie and I was pulled over by a white cop and he got out and he said, hey, I need to see your license and registration.
I said, well, I'm driving my mother's vehicle, sir.
Here's my license and I guess my insurance is here.
And he said, well, we have a lot of people coming in from X county and Y county and those counties are all heavily, heavily minority, heavily black.
And I said, well, sir, obviously, as you can see, I'm from this county and I'm just trying to drive to the movie theater.
I did not know that this was illegal in this state to have this on there.
But he, again, when I saw him walking up in the rear view mirror, he had his hand Near his gun, near the holster.
And again, this goes back to the whole idea of how you interact with police.
You cooperate with them.
Well, in other words, he figured because you were from a particular area that you probably were black?
He couldn't see on the license plate because it was covered by the plexi.
He didn't know what county it was registered in, and in this particular state, it has the county.
And he walked up, and then he realized, you know, we sat back, we had a great conversation.
He just gave a warning and said, hey, get that thing off, dude.
It's like, well, it's my mom's.
I'll ask her to, but it was a harrowing experience.
Look, interacting with the police is difficult, but you don't have to amplify that experience, and this goes for any race.
Just cooperate with police, and you're going to be fine.
Well, of course, the American Civil Liberties Union and all these minority coalitions are complaining about this disproportionate number of stops and they wrote a letter saying, the deployment of the Metropolitan Division has failed to address safety in communities like South Central Los Angeles, but rather has led to the incarceration and harassment of African American and Latino people.
If it's led to incarceration, That means they're criminals.
Exactly.
That means they've done something against the law and that they're going to jail so they cannot commit crimes against the law-abiding citizens, whether they be white, black, or brown, or Asian.
But you know, this is increasingly making me think of Sam Francis's brilliant concept of anarcho-tyranny.
Yes.
We'll have to talk about that one of these days.
But now they're going to scale back on vehicle stops.
They're going to unleash creeping anarchy because of the tyranny of egalitarian thinking.
Well, this is happening in areas where, we talked about this briefly, where leftists, in a lot of the ways, Soros-backed district attorneys have taken over, places like Philadelphia and St.
Louis, where they've openly said, we can't arrest our way out of this, we need to figure out ways to keep Brown and Black Juveniles, because we've read Michelle Alexander's book, The New Jim Crow, which, you know, I kind of think we should actually read that, because I hear the data in that is amazing, because it basically just shows, well, hey, we're probably not arresting enough of these kids.
We need to do more to arrest them.
And of course, the left is taking it the exact opposite way.
But I think that this is only going to lead the pendulum, Mr. Taylor, to swing back very, very rapidly in the face of law and order.
I would point out, when I looked at the story, I read the comments.
This is in the LA Times report.
Every single comment says, OK, we can expect more crime.
If they're being pulled over for all these violations, it's a good thing.
Pull them over.
And one guy said, OK, I'd like an official list of which violations I'm not going to be pulled over for.
If I knock two taillights, is that OK?
Or is just one taillight OK?
I mean, this is just absurd.
Yes, it is.
And everybody, every comment, I read everyone, everyone was utterly cynical about this.
Well, this goes back to what we've talked about repeatedly, fare evasions being decriminalized all across the country in areas where there's public transportation.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
And again, we are running out of white people in this country, but you know what?
There are still those who do want law and order, and that's where things are going to head, guys.
And we're running out of time, so let's squeeze in one more Los Angeles story.
And that is typhus.
Typhus!
We shouldn't be laughing at a medieval disease.
It's a third world medieval disease, yes, but then we had a record.
Last year we had a record of new typhus cases, 124.
And the fact is, last October, Mayor Garcetti, he vowed to clean up huge piles of garbage throughout the street because they attract rats.
And these are the rats that carry the lice that distribute typhus.
In fact, the mayor allocated millions of dollars to clean up, especially around the Skid Row area, known lately as the Typhus Zone.
The fact is, four months later, there were still huge piles of garbage all over the place.
And the L.A., believe it or not, L.A.
has already fumigated the LAPD's Central Division office and part of the LAPD's main headquarters because they're in the Typhus Zone.
Oh boy, oh boy.
They said, for months, they were saying, don't worry, it's just hitting bums.
Only bums are getting typhus.
Well, they had a deputy city attorney, Liz Greenwood, a veteran prosecutor, who was diagnosed with this medieval, archaic, third world disease.
Now she thinks she got it from fleas in her office in the city hall east.
These are the fleas that live on the rats.
And the rats live on the garbage.
And the garbage is heaped all around L.A.
because the people of L.A.
dump their garbage on the streets.
I mean, again, you hear stories about what's going on in San Francisco where people are defecated in public.
you have to wonder at what point do we start to realize that leftism is a public nuisance?
Well, my weather vane, the weather vane that I'm waiting to turn is when there's some major city
in which it becomes unsafe to drink the water.
Now Flint, Michigan was an indication, but that's sort of an out-of-the-way place, relatively speaking.
But someday there's going to be a major city, or several major cities, where all of a sudden we really do know we're living in the third world because we can't even drink the tap water.
That's going to be my sign.
I think that day is coming rapidly.
It could be.
Well, I understand you won't be here with us next week.
That is correct.
I will be on a speaking tour in Lithuania and Estonia and Poland.
It's going to be exciting and it's going to be cold.
It won't be so cold that you'll be yelling at people, MAGA country.
I guess that's how hillbillies keep warm in Chicago, right?
That's right, that's right.
And so, Henry Wolfe will be taking my place.
And I'll be counting on you, of course, to keep the ball rolling.
Well, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Our podcast time is up.
