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 indispensable, inimitable Paul Kersey.
And I must say, I did not expect to be with you today.
I expected to be in Europe, as a matter of fact.
But when I was on my way to Stockholm to speak at one conference, and I hope to be speaking at another conference in Finland this weekend, I was bounced out of the entire Schengen area, 26 countries, when I landed in Zurich.
I'm apparently an undesirable alien, so designated by the state of Poland.
But I've written about this, and I've spoken about this on a number of other podcasts, so I won't go into that in any detail, but that explains why I am here with Mr. Kersey.
There was one curious fact buried within your letter from, was it from a Zurich jail?
Zurich Airport.
I encourage everyone, if you haven't read this piece, please do, but I would be remiss if I didn't ask You've now been banned from England, though, for three years.
It's an indefinite ban, so far as I can tell.
I got a letter from Theresa May, back when she was Home Secretary.
This was, oh, a couple of years ago.
I didn't want to necessarily publicize it because there were other things going on and there were people like, oh, Brittany Pettibone has been banned from England.
Martin Sellner has been banned from England.
Michael Savage is banned from England.
Yes, that's right.
But yes, this is in a way even more of a wound to me psychologically because Great Britain is the homeland of my ancestors.
More ancestors than any other country.
I have a few Dutchmen stuck in the family tree someplace.
Maybe one or two French Huguenots.
But practically, I'm about as waspy as it's possible to be.
One English-sounding name after another.
That's where my language comes from.
That's where my favorite authors, my favorite... Gosh, I'm just about as British as it's possible to be after having spent three centuries in North America.
But there you go.
I'm banned from there, too.
But all this explains why it is I, rather than Henry Wolfe, who was hosting the program last week, to enormous plaudits, I gather.
There's probably going to be a groundswell up there.
Leave Taylor off the program.
Let's get back Henry Wolfe.
But in any case, I wanted to start with a story about reparations.
Reparations for slavery, of course, is picking up steam.
And Representative Karen Bass of California, who's the head of the Congressional Black Caucus.
She says that action on a reparations measure sponsored by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat of Texas, is all but certain.
Now the Democrats are in control of Congress.
Now, what Sheila Jackson Lee's bill would do is just set up a commission to study the issue of reparations and recommend how the descendants of slaves should be compensated for the unpaid labors of their ancestors.
Now, of course, at this point, this has become quite the hot topic because so many 2020 hopefuls on the Democratic side, including Senator Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, also Representative Tulsi Gabbard.
They're all saying reparations is a great thing.
It has to be done.
And on Wednesday, former Representative Beto O'Rourke.
He is becoming just the most apologetic white man on earth.
Mr. Taylor, he's already apologized for having white privilege, for viewing life through the prism of a Upper class white male who has not had the problems associated with being a minority in this white supremacist society.
And the reason why he, in my opinion, he's now for reparations, is he went and did a town hall in South Carolina, which would be one of the first states to have a primary.
And he was asked point blank by a black man, hey, You're not for reparations.
Why should I vote for you?
I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically what he was asked, and this was in the New York Times, and he fumbled through his answer.
He was unable to really give an affirmative answer, but of course he's now come out completely for it.
Yeah, you know what?
Reparations.
Sounds great.
He's come to Jesus now, and apparently it may have been under the tutelage of the Rev.
Al Sharpton that he saw the light on this matter, because it was at his National Action Network convention in New York that he said, yes, Absolutely, I would sign that into law, speaking of Sheila Jackson Lee's bill to study reparations.
So, he's joined the crowd, and then of course, you know, former Representative John Conyers, who left Congress under a cloud, one of those little me-too clouds.
Ever since 1989, he's been offering this bill, he's been presenting this bill for the legislation, but even under Barack Obama, It never went anywhere.
No.
But it is Sheila who has taken up the mantle.
And now Nancy Pelosi is even all in favor of it.
So there's no telling what's going to happen here.
But Sheila Jackson Lee did say, there is no request in the bill for a check or a pot of gold.
This is simply to look into what would be appropriate.
And you know, there are even some guys in the Congressional Black Caucus, James Clyburn of South Carolina, he's against cash handouts.
He says it would just be too tricky to figure it out.
Now, an amusing little sidelight to this bill is it's called HR House Resolution 40.
That was a number used by John Conyers, and Sheila Jackson Lee has adopted the same number.
Do you know why?
I have a guess, but I don't want to spoil the surprise.
It is because all of these legislators think that they were promised 40 acres and a mule.
So now this is H.R.
40.
Now you know, the story about this 40 acres and a mule, it's really kind of a complicated and obscure thing, but blacks have just They've taken this up and they say, we have been owed this.
In fact, I remember some guy calculating what, if they had gotten 40 acres of South Carolina land and a mule, and there'd be compound interest up till now, what would it all be worth?
And, oh, they came up with, you know, at least a million and a half, you know, something like that.
That would be what the 40 acres and mule they'd promised would be worth today, present value.
But, you know, the fact is the Union Army occupied the Sea Islands off of the South Carolina coast, and as it turned out, there were cotton plantations there, and the whites did not stay when the Yankees came and invaded.
So, the blacks were pretty much keeping those fields going.
And so that was pretty much, that was early in the war, November 1861.
And in 1865, Sherman issued something called Special Field Order Number 15.
And that instructed officers to settle a number of refugees on the Sea Islands, of which there were practically no white people there anyway, and the blacks were working the land already.
And he said, you know, take 400,000 acres and divide them up into 40-acre plots.
There was never anything about mules.
Although, the feds gave mules to some of them.
So that, of course, is where this idea originated.
That's the origins.
That's right.
And Sherman, he specifically allotted these islands and also a certain area along the rivers in South Carolina that appeared to him to have been abandoned by white farmers.
And he also said he never considered this to be a permanent injunction.
This was a temporary measure.
But there you go.
That is the origin of this silly idea that the United States government made a promise to all blacks.
I bet if you were to ask any black person who is talking about demanding reparations, now they would bring up 40 acres of movement.
We was promised No such thing at all.
It was this obscure order by Sherman, and it wasn't even a federal government decision.
I'm a little bit surprised that a general would have the authority even to do that, to say, OK, you can take this land, even provisionally.
But anyway, that's the story on that.
And we will see what this commission comes up with.
Well, you know that the intellectual basis behind this push for reparations goes back to that article in The Atlantic that our friend Ten Yeezy Coats I believe it was called The Case for Reparations.
Yes.
And it will be fascinating as this debate becomes clearer and clearer because 2020, last week Wolf and I discussed this, it's obvious that it is going to come down to, hey, the Democrats are all about leaving white America in the dust and we're going to erase the past four years even though President Trump hasn't done a bloody thing for the people who elected him.
In fact, he's done the exact opposite of what he was promised to do.
The Democrats are going to use that momentum to basically position and brand the Republicans as on the wrong side of history.
Reparations are coming.
Nothing you can do about it.
That's right.
I think this is clearly in the works.
In the meantime, we are learning what happens when the other side runs the show.
Moving on now to the adventures of Jorge Rios.
Jorge Rios is an illegal immigrant from Honduras.
He was deported in 2003 and 2004, but he's back again.
And he has raped after having kidnapped and then proceeded to murder Carolina Cano, who is age 45 and is likewise an immigrant.
And the interesting thing about this is that ICE is already warning the state of New Jersey that we, quote, will seek taking custody of Rios at conclusion of his criminal proceedings despite limited cooperation in the state.
This is another one of these states that does not want to cooperate.
What's interesting here is that Ms.
Cano, age 45, from Peru, was a complete stranger to this guy.
He kidnapped her, raped her, murdered her.
And if he is got a sentence of up to 30 years to life in prison, ICE is already telling the state of New Jersey, come on, you need to cooperate.
Once this guy is out of jail, you need to hand him over because we want to send him back.
Now, What's interesting to me here is that ICE is already worried about this.
The state of New Jersey is not going to let this guy walk around, but ICE is already worried something bad is going to happen.
Now, my view has always been, if he goes to jail for 30 years, I wish there was some way to send these multiply deported guys already back to where they came from to serve their sentences.
My suspicion is if there was some good way to keep him out of the United States, frankly, I don't care if he serves time, if he's from Honduras, send him back to Honduras.
Let him spend his 30 years in a Honduran jail.
I just hate the idea of all of these guys filling our jails, getting medical treatment on the public dime, three square meals a day.
This just really irritates me.
As a proponent, Mr. Taylor, of capital punishment, this is one of those situations where you would use effective capital punishment as a deterrent to illegal immigration.
What happens if you kill one of our citizens, it's axiomatic you're going to be killed as well by the state.
This Peruvian woman wasn't even a citizen.
I don't care if it's not a citizen that's killed.
Well, exactly right.
Kidnap, rape, murder.
If the death penalty is for something, it's certainly for that.
Correct.
But yes, that would solve the whole problem.
Then nobody's got to look after this swine.
Exactly.
However long it takes.
But I just wish that we did not have to deal with people like Jorge Rios.
Now there's another Jorge story that you're going to tell us about, right?
You know, it's fascinating.
There is a Jorge that we do have to deal with, and that is the Jorge Ramos, the Univision host.
Let's backtrack one year.
April 4th, 2018.
He said, quote, there is no invasion at the border after President Trump had tweeted out that a big caravan of people from Harduras were headed to the United States through Mexico.
Now he had obviously had been clashing with Trump in the past and argued that sending the military to patrol the southern border would be a waste of time and money.
This is all April of 2018.
It's a different country, that's a different Trump.
We of course know that he did, President Trump did absolutely nothing to stop the invasion.
All these caravans, it got worse and worse.
Which brings us to April 4th, 2019.
Back to our friend, the Univision host, Jorge Ramos.
And I say friend loosely, colloquially, because he said on Tuesday evening of this week that he believes the solution to the migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border is just to legalize.
You know, that is the perennial refrain from these people.
You just can't stop them anyway.
You just can't stop them.
I wonder if Jorge Ramos would be singing the same tune if all of Central America decided to come into Mexico and stay there.
Of course he'd be singing a different tune.
I was just listening on the radio today about someone, he was another Mexican, he was some representative of some of these charity organizations that want to resettle these people all over the United States.
And he was saying, history says that these migrations simply can't be stopped.
Of course they can be stopped.
This is just such a bunch of baloney.
But one way, of course, of trying to stop them is to clamp down on this refugee resettlement business.
And as you know, it is the federal government that decides how many refugees to bring in, And it decides sometimes in consultation with the states, sometimes not.
Some of the states have decided they don't want to have anything to do with it.
So they can completely pull out of the program.
But what then happens is that the decisions are made without any input by them at all.
And Tennessee is one of the states that has decided it wants to have nothing to do with this federal refugee program.
But what has happened is Catholic Charities, which is one of these flim-flam organizations that makes a lot of money every time it manages to get a refugee and stick him someplace in the United States.
They upped the Tennessee quota while the Tennessee state authorities weren't even looking.
And so, what Tennessee has now decided to do is to sue.
Because when, in 1991, when the Federal Refugee Act was first passed, no, I'm sorry, it was first passed in 1980, at that time, the federal government was supposed to foot the entire bill.
But, by 1991, reimbursement for Medicaid and cash welfare was eliminated, and now the federal government really doesn't pay anything at all.
The federal government says, okay, here you've got these 5,000 Somalis.
Give them a nice home, and of course, because they're refugees, they can go on all welfare programs, no questions asked.
So, Tennessee, bless its little volunteer state heart, has decided to sue the federal government to say, this is no good.
You just can't do this.
Now, what I admire most about this is that they're suing under the 10th Amendment.
You rarely get a suit that goes back to what I think is one of the most important amendments of the Bill of Rights, namely saying powers not granted to the federal government are retained by the states and by the people.
I wish that came up more and more.
The whole idea of federalism, of course, was that the states were sovereign, and that they were going to make decisions for themselves.
Correct.
But more and more and more, the federal government is insisting that states take on obligations which are simply imposed on them by the federal government, and they have no recourse.
They have to pay for it.
So, thank goodness Tennessee is fighting back.
One interesting aspect of this is that the state of Tennessee was represented by a public interest law firm, the Thomas Moore Law Center.
They've done a number of interesting suits.
They tend to be Catholic-oriented, and they tend to take on suits that will preserve expressions of religion in the public square, and it's fascinating to me to see that they're taking on a suit of this kind.
Well, God bless them for it.
I say, God bless you.
Because if you've been to Nashville, you know that it is a shocking potpourri, a multicultural... I visited Nashville when I was young, in the early 90s, and it still retained its country-western twang.
It was still that mecca of country music, of good old boys who had no problem Waving the Confederate flag or admitting that their favorite show was the Dukes of Hazzard.
You go now and it is shocking what you find in Nashville.
It's just a different city.
It's a different country.
And it happened so fast in a span of just a few decades.
The South is no longer the South.
It's a real tragedy.
It used to be a region with a spirit, a people, a kind of heritage, an ethos.
Now it's just full of Yankees and full of foreigners.
Real Southerners are getting hard to find.
Well, and a lot of that actually has to do with what we're going to be talking about here in a second, and that is the state of Illinois.
Yes, but before we get there, though, I wanted to bring up this point of this Thomas More Law Group representing the state of Tennessee pro bono.
I'd like to know what was behind that.
This suggests the state of Tennessee itself wasn't prepared to pay its own lawyers.
What's going on here?
Why does a public interest law firm have to represent the interests
of the state of Tennessee in this way?
And of course, it's not just, all of the usual welfare programs
that the states have to pay, including interpreters.
You have to pay for interpreters for most of these people who don't speak any English.
Public schooling, of course, that goes without saying.
And there are studies that find that these refugees, even five years after their arrival, about half of them are still on Medicare.
And all of this, all of this, the states have got to pay.
It's just outrageous.
So as you say, God bless the Thomas More Law Center.
They are doing for the state of Tennessee what apparently the state of Tennessee does not have the wit to do for itself.
That's correct.
And let's let's go to Illinois now.
It's a tale of two states.
You know, there are a lot of corporations that are moving to Tennessee to take advantage of Low cost for land, very smart labor force, it's a fantastic state when it comes to low taxes.
Well, the exact opposite is Illinois where, get this Mr. Taylor and to our wonderful listening audience, hope you're sitting down for this one, the Illinois House has voted to require women and African Americans on all corporate boards.
Is it one each?
No, it's both.
Yes, they have to have to require women and African-Americans.
So after a heated debate where there was calls of racism and shouting, the Illinois State House of Representatives voted to require all publicly held companies in the state, all publicly held companies, to have at least one woman and one African-American.
Basically, this hopes to go into effect by starting in 2021.
So these corporations have a couple years to try and groom people, find someone, or they will face a penalty.
Get this.
of $300,000 for failure to comply.
I imagine that's an annual penalty.
It would be an annual penalty.
Now what's going to happen is it would require the Secretary of State of Illinois to keep an online list of corporations that would show if the company is in compliance with this new law.
Well, now, let's make it clear.
This is not law yet.
No.
It's still got to go to the Senate, right?
Correct.
Has the governor indicated what he thinks about this?
The governor has not, but one Republican, Tony McCombie, said the bill is one of the many anti-business bills lawmakers have passed thus far in 2019.
He stated, quote, we are destroying the ability for our state to grow.
Now, when it got down to the conversation about race, the individual who sponsored the bill, Chris Welch, he said that I'm not going to be ashamed to stand here and fight for the people that sent me here, he said.
Ashamed to fight for African Americans to have a right in a room?
Are you kidding me?
To have a right?
It's not a right.
Gosh, they already have the right.
Somebody has to bring them in there whether they want them there or not.
Yeah, so the Senate is going to take up the bill for consideration.
Again, this is all following in the footsteps of California, where lawmakers approved a similar bill, which only, of course, applied to women at the time.
But as these progressive states, there's a term you don't like that much, but I think we should use it in this case, and that is, dare I say, woke?
As these states Truly start sipping that progressive water and we can see in California where things are headed.
Now, does California actually have a law that requires women on the boards of directors of publicly traded companies?
It was sent to Jerry Brown.
I do not... I believe that he actually signed it.
So the bill would mandate in California that at least one woman by the end of this year And as many as three by 2021, depending on the size of the company, or they would face that same $300,000 fine.
I mean, again, you're going to see corporations start to head out of these states.
I mean, this just doesn't make any sense to have these type of restrictions placed.
Oh, but you know, how many corporations are going to say, well, you know, we had to clear out of California because we hated this idea of putting women on the board.
How many corporations are going to have the backbone to say that?
Well they're not going to say that, but look, the high taxes in that state have forced Hollywood to decamp from California and they've basically set up shop in Atlanta, Georgia.
More movies are made in Georgia now than in any State or any country in the world.
It is the actual Hollywood now of the country and you know the real quick deviation They just the Georgia state legislator just passed one of these heartbeat bills really anti-abortion bills and Hollywood all these writers directors You know backlot workers actors actresses.
They threatened to boycott the state over this and Well, they gotta have their abortions after all I Speaking of abortions, one thing about Illinois that I find fascinating is you see these progressive states.
Illinois, since 2014, has declined in population by 157,000 people.
So, again, it's a high-tax state.
And they saw in 2013, they witnessed a net loss of 67,000 people to domestic migration.
People who are moving to primarily Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, and Missouri.
Obviously a lot of those who are moving to Florida and Texas, probably seniors looking to relocate to a cheaper city and state for retirement purposes.
But from a job standpoint, you know, people are moving to Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, states that are closer.
You know, St.
Louis is not far from Illinois.
And you're witnessing this great migration back.
One of the things that we didn't talk about was the Chicago mayoral election, where the first female, also happens to be a homosexual, was elected mayor of that city.
Well, the black population of Chicago, Mr. Taylor, is Declining rapidly.
And a lot of those people, regrettably, are moving back to Metro Atlanta, which is going to ensure that in 2020, or 2022, if our friend Stacey Abrams wants to run again, she'll have a very good chance at winning governor at that point, because the demographic situation will have become that much more.
Insurmountable.
If she hasn't stood for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020?
I think she might still.
You know, it's funny.
I went on record and said I thought Kamala Harris would be the candidate.
I still do.
But Stacey Abrams is being courted.
And she, just last night, she affirmed that identity politics works at this big event in New York at a speech she gave.
She said, hey, identity politics is our future.
And I think she's right.
And I think that almost worked for her.
It almost worked except for the The identity politics of white Georgians played, which the Republicans are ashamed of, and they don't want to admit that it actually happens.
That's right.
Just a few stubborn white people kept her from her goal.
But yes, well, from Illinois, let us move to Minnesota.
This is of interest because the trial of Mohammed Noor is about to begin.
In fact, jury selection is going on now.
And to remind our listeners of the importance of Mohammed Noor, He is the Somali police officer.
He was a trailblazing pioneer.
The first Somali to be an official sworn officer on the Minneapolis Police Force.
Well, as it turned out, back in July of 2017, Australian woman named Justine Daymond.
She heard a commotion outside her house.
She thought that a woman was being raped or as it turns out, she thought maybe someone was having public sex in a very noisy way.
In any case, she called the police.
The police showed up, and she went down outside her apartment.
Turns out she was just wearing her pajamas, and she was looking for the police to find out what happened.
And, lo and behold, she was shot.
There's some mysteries to, in fact, what happened, but she came up on the driver's side of the car.
And this fellow, Mohammed Noor, this sterling, trailblazing Somali police officer, actually reached, he was in the passenger side, he reached across the driver and shot through the open window and killed her.
There's some discussion as to whether or not he shot her just once or several times, but it's clear that he intended to kill her.
It took eight months for an investigation to decide that this Noor fellow should be charged.
An astonishingly long time.
But immediately after the shooting, the police chief of Minneapolis, a woman by the name of Janie Harto, she got back from vacation five days after the shooting.
And she thought this was fishy and she said Justine didn't have to die.
The very next day, the mayor of Minneapolis, yet another woman by the name of Betsy Hodges, asked her to resign.
It's all very murky what happened here, even today.
You try to look into this story, but the police chief seems to think that Justine got a raw deal, and then the mayor says, well, you resign.
Oddly enough, not even three weeks after she was forced to resign, former police chief Jani Harto was awarded the national title of Woman Law Enforcement Executive of the Year.
Yet another murky aspect of this situation.
In any case, This young lad, Noor.
He had been a police officer for two years.
There had already been three formal complaints against him, two of which are yet unresolved.
And in a separate case, aside from these formal complaints, he was sued for allegedly assaulting a woman while on duty.
Clearly a sterling character.
Now, once this shooting took place and people started focusing on him, it turned out that his training was, quote, fast-tracked.
They were in a big hurry to get a diverse lad on the force.
To reflect the new community in Minneapolis.
Of course.
That's been resettled there.
That's right, that's right.
As the population changes, so must the police, so must the teachers, so must the people on television, so must everything to reflect this new reality.
And it also came to light that back in 2015, two psychiatrists, Well, as I said, jury selection is going on now, and the actual testimony is supposed to begin on Monday.
about Mohammed Noor's fitness for police duty.
But this was of course ignored because it was essential to get a Somali on the force.
Well, as I said, jury selection is going on now and the actual testimony is supposed to
begin on Monday.
But there's some more fishy business here.
This is just a continually fishy process.
Judge Catherine Quintance has imposed very tight restrictions on the public and media access.
In fact, they have chosen a courtroom that is half the size of most of the courtrooms in the courthouse.
There are only 8 places for media and 11 for the public.
It's a tiny little courtroom, and the judge has banned laptops, cell phones, recording devices, and she says she has to maintain, quote, order and decorum.
Now, what does she think is going to happen if they have more journalists?
They're going to start dancing in the aisles or, you know, doing handsprings?
What does she got in there?
Also, on Friday, that is to say tomorrow, there's supposed to be a hearing on her decision to withhold some of the evidence.
She says it's too graphic.
But media groups are really doing what they're supposed to do.
They have really fought this.
They're trying to get this idea of withholding evidence quashed.
They haven't been able to succeed in getting a larger courthouse.
They got more media that's interested in this.
But this is really remarkable that this very murky case in the start, apparently the judges decided to keep it murky.
Well, this story captivated the Australian media.
This is a story that, if it weren't for a few... How should I put this delicately?
Sites like American Renaissance, most Americans wouldn't know about it.
The Daily Mail did a lot on it, obviously because they do a lot of the black-on-white type stories.
But this is a story that was kept alive Courageously, by AR and some other sites.
But it's fascinating, as you've noted, that they're going to such dramatic lengths to try and keep the quiet.
Keep it quiet!
Keep local media out.
Because, you know, in the state of Minnesota, there are a lot of people who Aren't you happy about the fact that it's been colonized by Somalians?
Well, you know, they're going through jury selection now and apparently a number of prospective jurors were excused because they admitted to anti-Somali bias on their jury questionnaires.
What a surprise!
So, it's going to be, I think, a very significant and important trial.
And it seems to me that the evidence is pretty clear that this guy shot this woman for no good reason whatsoever.
But, again, I don't understand why Catherine Quinn Taints, the judge, is behaving as she's doing.
No cameras, I mean, no recording devices, no laptops.
You've got to take your notes by shorthand in this trial if you're part of the very small number of people who are allowed to cover it.
We will try to pay attention to this trial, any important developments we plan to report on this podcast.
Trial begins on Monday, and it's expected to last a month.
I don't know why it takes a month to cover something like this, but all of these high-profile trials go on and on and on.
In any case, I think, and you're right, this was covered, this was covered very, very extensively by Australian media.
Exactly.
And actually British media.
Exactly.
Whereas the United States media, ooh, not interested, move along.
I don't recall, is it the Minneapolis Star?
Stay in the local news there, because this is an important story, and tensions obviously We're heightened because that's an interesting community there, the Somali community, which has representation in Congress.
You and I, of course, we don't have any representation in Congress, but that's a story for a different day.
As white taxpayers, we're expected to just keep paying the taxes and have no representation.
Well, get yourself elected, Mr. Kersey.
I'd vote for you.
Well, I'd vote for you, but I'll tell you what I won't vote for, and that is anybody but, if I were an Italian, Salvini and his fantastic party.
Because, once again, we have another story out of Italy.
Only, what, was it less than Three weeks ago, where there was the African who tried to commit the racial terrorist attack on the 50 school children.
Oh, the one who wanted to burn up the school children?
Yeah, Africa.
Rise up, was what he said when he tried to kill the 50 white Italian school children.
Well, what happened now is, on the banks of the River Po in Turin, Italy, a Moroccan migrant has admitted to murdering Italian man Stefano Leo.
That's a good Italian name.
Stefano Leo, claiming that he wanted to kill someone, quote, young, white, and Italian.
The gentleman who murdered him, his name is Sed, may show it.
Gentlemen, you've got to break that habit.
Ah, there we go again.
It's colloquialism.
This miscreant, this misanthrope, who was born in Morocco, but he was a naturalized Italian citizen.
He confessed the killing.
Claiming he had purposely been waiting to kill a white Italian near his own age.
Quote, I hit a white based on the obvious fact that a young Italian would have caused a sensation.
I looked at him and I was sure he was Italian, that he was white.
I wanted to kill a guy like me, take away all the promises he had, children, remove him from his friends and relative.
This is what the killer said.
He then described the attack to police saying, quote, I sat on a bench, smoked a couple of cigarettes, People were passing by.
I chose that place because you could run away immediately.
Now, this guy was on the run for a month and then he confessed to the killing because he was saying that he was hearing voices again.
He was worried he was going to do it again.
But he added that he had been looking for someone, quote, happy.
Happy and white, end quote, to kill.
When Stefano Leo, strolling by, wearing headphones and sunglasses, probably listening to
his favorite song, just relaxing, has his whole life in front of him, probably planning what
he's going to do that night, where he's going to go grab a nice bottle of red wine, and
then this Moroccan stabbed him in the throat because he was happy and white. You know, envy, I
think, has a lot to do with the race relations in the United States and all around the world.
It's the envy of the nations and the races that are successful.
Here this guy, this Moroccan shows up in Italy, a successful European country.
From Morocco.
I've visited Morocco several times.
I had a good time there, but boy, it is by no means a success by international standards.
And these people show up, they realize somehow, I think even unconsciously, that they cannot build this kind of society.
They cannot be happy in this Western society.
Now, maybe he could have been happy in Morocco.
We're fitting in with people who are no better off than himself, but he shows up in Italy.
Here is a Western, white, European, Christian society.
He doesn't fit in, so who's he gonna kill?
He's gonna kill somebody who is happy.
I think envy has a lot to do with all of this, and envy is a terrible emotion.
Yeah, you're exactly right.
I mean, again, not just envy, but it's also the fact, go back to the I think it was a guy from Senegal who was trying to kill the white children in that horrific bus attack.
And he did it all because the Italian government was stopping the migrants from crossing.
Migrants were drowning.
And he said, you can't stop us from coming.
We deserve to be here.
We deserve to have access to this.
Africa, rise up.
And a lot of that does have to do with the envy.
He saw Yes.
the world that white people created in the absence, in the absence mind you, of Africans.
And he wanted a taste of it.
And once that spigot was cut off, he was prepared to engage in racial terrorism.
That's what that act was.
That happened of course, what was it, a few days after the Christchurch.
That's right.
I want to say four days after.
It was not even a blip in the news cycle.
No, no, that's utterly unimportant.
Well, fortunately, all of the children got out.
But I would tell you this.
What is it?
Fifty people shot to death in Christchurch.
If fifty white schoolchildren had been burnt to death by this guy, it would have been used for a while, but not as big as Christchurch.
I can promise you that.
No argument there.
But returning to the United States here, this is yet another Minneapolis St.
Paul story.
There is a lawyer by the name of Dan Shulman who is suing the state because he thinks that school integration is not proceeding sufficiently well.
He's got a class action suit.
And he's gotten a judge to define the plaintiff class.
And once a class is defined, class action suits tend to be very, very powerful.
But the class is now defined as any Minneapolis or St.
Paul district school with fewer than 20% Or more than 60% students of color or those eligible for school lunch subsidies.
In other words, if a school is 80% or more white, then it's not sufficiently integrated.
Or if it is 60% or more non-white or people on school lunches.
So in other words, the way this is defined is, a school to be integrated has to be somewhere between
20 and 60% non-white or poor.
So he's got this formula worked out.
And apparently, there are no fewer than 36 schools in Minneapolis and 38 schools in Saint-Paul
that are officially insufficiently integrated.
So, he's got this class action suit, it's called Cruz Guzman versus the state of Minnesota, and he's going to try to get a judge to order desegregation in all of these schools.
It's just one of these completely crazy, ambitious, social engineering lawsuits, the kind that has have wreaked havoc throughout the United States As you know, we went through this busing phase, we went through all these attempts to force integration.
This is yet another attempt through the back door by means of a class action suit to get the government to integrate schools when people don't necessarily want to be integrated.
Now, the interesting aspect here is There are two charter schools which are 100% black.
100% black.
They are part of this problem as well, but they've hired lawyers and they say, no, we don't go along with this.
They're opposing the lawsuit.
They're opposing the lawsuit, yes.
They don't want to be integrated.
They are proudly segregated.
One is called Higher Ground Academy.
The other is called Friendship Academy of the Arts.
And they are asking for a judge's ruling affirming the legality of this exemption to state law that says charter schools don't have to be integrated.
Well, And one of the lawyers for one of these charter schools says that these are racially affirming schools and they should be treated like special schools like the kind that treat deaf students.
Special needs, special schools.
I think this is great.
Black people have special needs.
I think for them to go to black schools to meet those special needs is just great.
Not only do I agree with you, but I like what the attorney who's representing these two
institutions said. Quote, they have special needs, special accommodations that were required.
Adding that, quote, trying to undo decades of underserving for African Americans.
So they have a mission.
That's right.
Their goal is to help African-American black students who have been, in their eyes, harmed.
And to introduce whites or Hispanics or Asians to that environment would only go to undo all this work.
And you know what?
Mr. Perry, I commend you.
Yes, this is great.
I commend you for saying this, and to these two institutions.
Hey, you know what?
Racially affirming?
That sounds great.
Sounds great to me.
And he went on to say that the idea that segregated schools cannot provide a quote adequate education is nuts.
The Constitution apparently requires an adequate education.
And this guy, Dan Shulman, who started the lawsuit, said an adequate education is impossible under segregation.
But these guys say no.
They say, we firmly object to plaintiffs' blanket assertion that all racially imbalanced schools are inherently inadequate.
That is what the higher ground principal, Samuel Yigsaw, said in a prepared statement.
Yeah, it's this idea that the left, that these white liberals have, that the reason why blacks perform poor on standardized tests is because they don't have that osmosis effect when they're around white students.
Obviously, they have to have integration via osmosis somehow.
We're going to pass on some of this white privilege to underperforming blacks.
Exactly.
But now, of course, the objection to this is that white people might start a school that was segregated just for white, racially affirming for whites.
Once again, we have this crazy situation where we have a clear double standard.
Here we have these schools that already exist that are 100% black.
And here this busybody comes around and says, no, no, no, no, you can't do that.
Of course, there could never have been an all-white school, an all-white charter school to begin with.
No, no.
But the argument against the black school is, uh-oh, what if we let white people do that?
So this will be a very interesting suit to swallow.
Now, I looked up this Higher Ground Academy on the internet.
They have a very nice website.
They have what appear to be excellent grounds and buildings.
This is not some hole-in-corner storefront outfit.
They have 254 students, K-12.
Every student appears to be black, and they all wear uniforms.
They wear these sort of interesting African-looking uniforms, and all the girls wear head coverings.
So, I'm guessing that there's some sort of Muslim influence here, too.
But, apparently, they get better test scores at this school than the black average in the state.
So, and I'm sure that these are people who are motivated, their parents really want them to get an education that affirms them, racially affirming, as you said.
And so there you go.
Now, I did read something surprising on the mission statement of the school.
It says, It is dedicated to creating a socially committed, morally responsible, and ethnically diverse learning environment.
Now, they may simply be using the word diverse to mean no white.
That's what the word means!
We know that's what the word means!
Because you never hear anybody say, oh you know, the NFL, those Players who are quarterbacks in the NFL, they're all black.
All 32 NFL teams, National Football League teams, every quarterback is a quarterback, African-American, because obviously they think that's a speed position.
No one ever says, hey, that position doesn't have any diversity.
Wrong.
It has sufficient diversity because there are no whites.
There are no non-blacks.
Right.
So there's good diversity and then there's bad diversity.
Yeah, but so they're going to get an ethnically diverse learning environment that's all black.
And I say, God bless them.
I hope it works.
And we'll see if white people ever get the same rights that black people do.
But moving on to yet another story of our dusky comrades, back to Justin Fairfax.
Justin Fairfax, the lieutenant governor of Virginia.
This is a bit of an old story.
Ralph Northam, the governor, it turned out that he'd appeared either in a Klan hood or in blackface in a photograph.
We're not sure which, and he's not sure which.
That mystery remains unresolved.
But At that point, it looked like Ralph Northam was not fit to be governor, and the lieutenant governor, a black fellow by the name of Justin Fairfax, was preparing to swan right into the governor's mansion.
Things were looking very bright for Justin Fairfax.
You mean like a swan dive?
Is that what you're saying?
No, like a swan.
To swan into someplace means to glide gloriously.
He was going to waltz into the governor's mansion, if you like that better.
But it turned out that there were some ladies in his background who had had some Me Too moments with him and some have showed up on television now.
There was one named Meredith Watson.
She had a tearful TV interview this week in which she said that Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax had raped her when they were in college.
She said she invited him to hang out in his room.
Then when she was in, he locked the door, turned off the lights, and raped her.
This was in 2000 while they were at Duke.
Now, this is where it gets a little fishy to me.
There's no statute of limitations for felony sexual assault in North Carolina, and the North Carolina DA got in touch with her and said, you know, you want to press charges?
She said, no, no, no, no, I don't want to do that.
It seems to me that if somebody raped you, you should press charges and go through the proper procedure.
But in any case, she says this happened.
Her television appearance came just one day after another TV interview with Vanessa Tyson.
Yet another.
A black woman who said that he forced her to give him oral sex during the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Both women want the Virginia state legislature to hold public hearings in which they and Justin Fairfax would testify under oath.
Republicans are all eager to have this idea, but the Democrats and Fairfax have resisted the idea.
I don't know where that's going to happen.
Now, what's interesting to me is that both of these women, both are black.
And in fact, Meredith Watson, the one who claims that she was raped as an undergraduate while at Duke, she faced tremendous pressure to keep quiet because we don't want to bring a strong black man down, this usual racial solidarity.
And as I recall, the other woman as well, who is black, she had felt the same kind of pressure.
Do not get in the way of this rising black star political career.
Now, Justin Fairfax, on the other hand, has been claiming that he feels like a lynching victim.
This is what is so astonishing to me.
Black people can find racism everywhere, even in a situation in which this guy's being accused by black women, not white women.
Also, they are black women who were pressured not even to come forward, and yet he's being lynched.
You know, this reminds me of what is one of, I think, one of the sadder experiences in the judicial confirmation process, that of Justice Clarence Thomas back in 1991.
Now, were you born then, by the way?
Yeah.
Okay.
You were sucking your little pink toes, probably.
Something like that.
But, Anita Hill in 1991.
Clarence Thomas had refused in his entire career to play the race card.
He said he had benefited from affirmative action.
He was opposed to affirmative action, but he took its rewards when it came.
But he did not want to play the race card when Anita Hill accused him of improper sexual activity.
He, too, said this is a high-tech lynching of an uppity black man.
That was a huge disappointment to me.
Here he's got the brass ring almost in reach, a lifetime appointment, and he can't resist.
He's got to be a lynched black man.
Well, this is the kind of thing I would expect from Justin Fairfax, but I did not expect it from Justice Clarence Thomas.
Anyway, but I guess we have yet more stories here.
We've got one fun story left because it has to do with Baltimore, Maryland.
You know, a city that has been in the news for the past about five years for some unfortunate racial realities that continue to unfold there, from the Freddie Gray situation to the past black mayor.
I can't remember her name, but she said, give him space to destroy when the riots happened.
Right, right.
Well, yeah, now we have a different black lady mayor.
Her name is Catherine Pugh.
Spelled P-U-G-H.
And Catherine Pugh apparently is not feeling well.
She has decided to take a leave of absence.
And she's doing this because she has pneumonia.
There was a statement from her office saying Mrs. Pugh, quote, has been advised by her physicians that she needs to take time to recover and focus on her health.
And at this time, with the mayor's health deteriorating, she feels as though she is unable to fill her obligations as mayor.
Well, that must be a pretty bad case of pneumonia she's got.
Well, curiously enough, just hours before she made this announcement, it was reported that the Republican governor, Larry Hogan, had called for a state prosecutor to investigate her.
Now, those who have been paying attention to Mayor Catherine Pugh will recall That when she sat on the board of the University of Maryland Medical System, the medical system bought 100,000 copies of a children's book that the mayor had written called Healthy Holly.
It's an exercise book by the way.
It's a series actually.
Well, not yet.
Not yet.
Could be.
That's $5 per book.
Now, that is more than most royalties I've ever heard of, and these before they even sold.
Ordinarily, you get royalties as a book sells.
Well, no one knows what has happened to these books.
Apparently, there were 9,000 moldering in a warehouse someplace, but who knows how many children ever, ever had a copy of Healthy Holly in their hands.
When this news came out, I mean, this is very, very fishy stuff.
Even the state comptroller, Peter Franchard, who is a Democrat, called on Mrs. Pew to resign immediately.
Now, she did resign from the board of the University of Maryland Medical System.
So that, at least, she managed to do.
Now, I took a look on Amazon at Healthy Holly.
And it's currently unavailable, despite having 100,000 copies printed.
I guess they all just flew off the shelves.
As it turns out, there was not one review of the book, not one reader review, until the news broke.
Now there are four, all of them rather negative.
And they're all people talking about how, well, the name of the book should have been Huckster Holly.
I think that's pretty good.
And another one says, yes, there's going to be a series.
And in the next one, Holly grows up, runs for political office, does nothing for the city, and becomes rich.
It's a nail-biter.
Now I went on to find that she has an Amazon Authors page in which she describes herself in the following words.
From a young age, Catherine possessed a strong work ethic and a passion for community service.
Boy, can she work!
She can get $500,000, essentially, for nothing!
But while she is convalescing with her pneumonia, I suggest she get in touch with Jussie Smollett's legal team.
You know, she actually has a book, Mr. Taylor, her biography, called Mindgarden, Where Thoughts Grow.
There's one copy available on Amazon.
It's a thought-provocative collection of poems and prose by Catherine Pugh, published back in 2005.
You can get it for a mere $100.
Boy, oh boy.
She's really a literary phenomenon, isn't she?
Well, I hope she gets over her pneumonia very soon.
But in the meantime, City Council President Bernard Young, a Democrat, will serve as mayor in her place.
You know, I didn't realize that a mayor could take a leave of absence.
This is an indefinite leave of absence.
I wonder if the president could take a leave of absence, you know, and go sun himself in Acapulco while Pence took over for a while.
No, her political career is done after this.
She can go back and finish the Healthy Holly series and regale us with stories.
I don't know.
How many years left?
She's got several years left in her term.
She could recover from this pneumonia, which is apparently debilitating.
She has two years left.
She could bounce back and just turn the city around and stop all those murders and Holly gets healthier and healthier.
You know, I don't think she's finished.
I mean, look at Jussie Smollett.
Come on!
Yeah, she's got all the constellation, all the alignment of the planets, all the melanin necessary.
We'll see.
But anyway.
Last, I guess we do have time for a listener question.
And this is someone who said, I know Jared Taylor went to Russia to talk about race realism.
What was his impression of Russia?
What kind of feedback did he get?
Well, the most overwhelming impression of Russia is how just refreshingly white it is.
Like I've said before, you get on the subway in St.
Petersburg or Moscow, Russia, and nothing but white people.
It's just shocking.
Absolutely shocking.
At the same time, though, although Putin is clearly a nationalist, when race realists and people say that we have to keep Russia white come out and say so explicitly, he puts them behind the wire.
It's a very strange situation there.
The ordinary Russians that I spoke to just took it for granted that Russia was Russian and, you know, we weren't going to get any Africans and Southeast Asians or any of those people.
But Russia, at the same time, has these Muslim enclaves, too.
Chechnya, the Chechens.
There's a huge mosque that was just built in Moscow, a Chechnya mosque.
It's not far from the Kremlin, actually.
See, there are contradictions there.
There are strange contradictions.
I think that the Russian people still have this healthy notion that Russia is for Russians.
And yet, Putin and RT, Russian television, every chance they get they poke fun at the United States.
They criticize us for our bad race relations.
We don't let in enough immigrants.
The European Union doesn't let in enough immigrants.
It's, in some respects, a mystery to me.
Well, perhaps they're doing it because they know that such diversity and such vibrant diversity destabilizes these countries that are still somewhat adversarial with NATO to the Russian Federation and Russia's long-term goals.
Of course, if Vladimir Putin really were a good white man, he would stand up for white men all around the world.
I am, you know, Russia is in some respects an adversary, but I think we ultimately, our fates are bound together.
We of the Northern Hemisphere, we of the shared race, we should be good friends with Vladimir Putin, and someday that year will come.
Mr. Taylor, I hate to say it, you're banned from your beloved homeland of England, but you could still get to Russia.
I guess I can.
Yes.
With that, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Our podcast time is up.
