Trump vs. The Squad

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, you have just tuned in to the latest edition of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me, of course, is P.K., without which this Radio Renaissance program would just be a terrible flop.
So, glad to have you with me, as usual.
We have to start with some sad news.
The sad news has to do with John Tanton.
I don't know how many of our listeners know about John Tanton, but he was a man, a Michigan man, he was an ophthalmologist by trade, who became very concerned about the demographic future of the United States.
And he really devoted almost his adult life to seeing to it that the United States did not become overloaded with people and founder under the effect of some of the wrong kind of people.
At first he was with the Sierra Club, with Planned Parenthood, and then he really got interested in the whole question of immigration.
And he started the American Immigration Control Foundation.
He was involved with Californians for Population Stabilization.
Project USA.
And he also started the Social Contract Press in 1990.
And his operation is still headquartered in Petoskey, Michigan.
And one of the things that I must say about John Tanton is he was not a sole proprietor, flash-in-the-pan kind of guy.
He built institutions.
And that is something that we all have to admire.
Well, he died today at the age of 85.
And I'm very, very sorry to see him go.
He was suffering from, I believe it was Parkinson's disease, and he was not making many public appearances.
But he was a great American patriot, and because he cared about who was coming to the United States, not just how many.
He was, of course, denounced as a racist and a white supremacist and the fact that there is some of his correspondence that he had with Sam Francis and even your servant.
This has come to light and has merited him a place in the crosshairs of all the people who hate the founding stock of America.
But I salute John Tanton and it was with the greatest of sadness that I've heard that he's passed.
Did you ever have a chance to meet him?
No, I didn't.
You say it's with sadness.
Dr. Tanton lived such a full and powerful life because he saw... he saw...
That yes he had one life to live but as you noted he created institutions and he left such an important legacy with the various organizations that he helped found and the books and the publications that he ensured were published and that these ideas would flourish.
They weren't just It wasn't just a webzine that disappeared after a couple months.
It was a, as you noted, it was something that was lasting.
It was impactful.
And I salute him and I feel, I do feel sad for his family, obviously, but this was a man who lived an incredible life that is worth cherishing every moment that he lived because he left behind such an amazing resume and a catalog of just tremendous impactful work.
Yes, he was involved also with the establishment of the Center for Immigration Studies, which is, I believe, one of the most effective think tanks in the United States.
Some of the material that they come out with, nobody else would come out with.
And as I often say, everything I know about immigration I learned from CIS.
Those are really great people.
He took a lot of criticism for the fact that he got some of his funding from the Pioneer Fund.
Some of you who may be not aware of the Pioneer Fund, it was started, I believe, back in the 1920s, and it was unabashedly in the interests of what was then called race betterment.
The Pioneer Fund is no more, but any organization, no matter how outstanding it was, that got any kind of money from the Pioneer Fund, would be criticized by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And the Federation for American Immigration Reform, FAIR, as well as the Social Contract Press, are designated as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
So you know they're doing great work.
But also, there is an annual writer's workshop put on by Social Contract Press, which is a wonderful event.
In any case, this is, as I say, a sad day, but we can turn this day into a celebration, a celebration of John Tanton and his institution building, which I believe will go on indefinitely into the future.
Godspeed, Dr. Tan.
Yes, rest in peace.
Now, I think we probably can't avoid talking about this Trump business, his set-to with the so-called squad.
I don't want to go into great detail about this.
But on Sunday, without naming any of the squaddies by name, it was understood that he was taking aim at Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib when he tweeted the following.
So interesting to see progressive Democrat congressmen who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt, and inept anywhere in the world, Now, loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, how our government is to be run.
Then he goes on to say, Why don't they go back and fix the totally broken and crime-infested place from which they came?
Then come back and show us how it's done.
These places need your help badly.
You can't leave fast enough.
Well, technically speaking, he was, I suppose, correct only in the case of Ilhan Omar, who is a naturalized American citizen.
She holds an American passport.
Originally from Somalia.
And Somalia is a terrible mess.
Rashida Tlaib, her parents were immigrants from Palestine.
Palestine is not exactly the most wonderful place on earth.
She could do well fixing that place up.
And then, of course, there's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose parents are from Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico is a mess.
So he was really on to something here.
Although, technically speaking, only one was foreign born.
Now, then there's Ayanna Pressley.
She's an American black.
But, in a sense, I don't think she feels American the way most white people feel American.
She feels herself to be another nation also.
And, of course, she's here to keep Whitey on the back foot, in any case.
This was all denounced in the most, oh, livid and outrageous terms by Democrats who said that it was racist.
Now, I don't know, I don't understand why it's racist to say to people, go back where you came from, but apparently that's racist.
As I say, he didn't mention any of these people by name.
He was assumed that the progressive Democratic congressmen were these four non-white women.
But in any case, Let us move immediately to what happened on Monday.
Now, the tweets were on Sunday, and Congress actually voted a resolution the very next day.
Aren't we always hearing about how Congress is just as slow as molasses?
Well, when it gets excited about something, and nothing excites them more than racism, Boy, they can just go like move like greased lightning.
So they voted a resolution.
And you know, I'm always interested in the actual texts of this kind of thing.
It's unnecessary.
Yes.
Oh, boy, they can just go like, move like greased lightning.
So they voted a resolution.
And I'm always interested in the actual texts of this kind of thing.
What did our lawmakers vote?
And it's called, it's called, this is in the most blunt terms,
it is a resolution condemning President Trump's racist comments directed at members of common.
I'm sorry, directed at members of Congress.
Racist comments.
That's all there is to it.
We don't have to define it.
They say it's racist, so it's racist.
None then.
There are a number of whereas clauses.
And I was surprised that the whole thing was very pro-immigrant.
That seems to be what it's based on.
They say, whereas.
The Founders conceived America as a haven of refuge for people fleeing from religious and political persecution.
Well, they didn't conceive it as that, but that's what the Congress decides it did.
And whereas the Declaration of Independence defined America as a covenant based on equality, well, it didn't do that either.
The Constitution, of course, which established America, is a highly inegalitarian document.
And then, whereas immigration of people from all over the earth has defined every stage of American history.
Well, tell me, how did immigration from, say, Asia define the Revolutionary period?
Or how did immigration from South America define the Civil War period?
I'm at a loss for words trying to answer your query.
Well, Congress has got it figured out.
Then, whereas the commitment to immigration and asylum has not been a partisan cause, but a powerful national value.
You know.
It's the only value.
Yes.
It's the only value.
Immigration and asylum.
Oh, the founders probably had never heard the word asylum.
These treaties, these treaties were signed after the Second World War.
But immigration and asylum, that's been a powerful national value.
And here's more whereases.
Whereas American patriotism is defined not by race or ethnicity, but by devotion to the constitutional ideals of equality, liberty, inclusion, Did you know that inclusion is a constitutional ideal?
It's this new country as the reconquest of the continent takes place and Whitey is pushed out.
We'd be remiss, Mr. Taylor, if we didn't point out that Trump's tweets came a few days after Tucker Carlson went on Fox News, on his Fox News program, and said this about Ilhan Omar, quote, Maybe we are importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours, end quote.
I don't think it's a maybe at all.
Well, Tucker does a good job of asking those questions, and guess what?
Trump tweets clumsily out, and of course, as you are reading, the squad responds with getting this type of resolution.
Yes, but to me, it's quite interesting.
American patriotism is defined by devotion to constitutional ideals.
Golly, I think a lot of people who become U.S.
citizens, if you ask them, what are the constitutional ideals, they wouldn't know what you're talking about.
But as I say, it's news to me that inclusion is a constitutional ideal.
Once again, in the Constitution, the word does not appear anywhere, nor does the word democracy.
That's another constitutional ideal, apparently.
But, and then the final whereas clause, whereas President Donald Trump's racist comments have Legitimized fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color.
Well, first of all, this is just an ex-cathedral statement that they are racist, and how do they know that they've legitimized anything?
His tweets have legitimized fear and hatred.
You think they've legitimized hatred?
I certainly don't think so.
In any case, whereas all these things, the House of Representatives, first of all, believes That those who take the oath of citizenship are every bit as American as those whose families have lived in the United States for many generations.
What about the ones who come from Mexico and who proudly announce that they are maintaining Mexican citizenship?
Or those who tore down the American flag and replaced it with a Mexican flag at that Aurora detention facility in Colorado.
Are they?
Have they taken the oath of citizenship?
In any case, what he's saying is you can become, as soon as you've taken the oath, you are as American as anybody who's been here for generations.
You know, in any other country, they'd laugh you out of the place.
I mean, the fact is, I don't mean to raise my own example in particular, but my ancestors have fought in every war since the Revolution.
They voted in every single election.
You know, the country is stuffed with their bones, it's drenched with their blood.
We've been here for a long time and somebody's just showed up and then mumbles the oath is just as American as my family is.
You know, if you went to India and said, you know, I just became an Indian citizen and I'm just as American as you people you've been here for a thousand years.
They would laugh at you.
They would laugh at you.
But America, that's just taken for granted.
Then they go on to say that the House of Representatives is committed to keeping America open.
To those lawfully seeking refuge and asylum from violence and oppression.
Well, the fact is, refuge and asylum, you have to have specific grounds for this.
Legitimate grounds of persecution, etc.
But only violence and oppression?
That's not good enough.
And it strongly condemns President Trump's racist comments.
So, that was the resolution.
Apparently, it's been more than a hundred years since Congress actually issued a formal rebuke of a sitting president.
And the last time it happened was in 1860, when the House of Representatives adopted a resolution against President James Buchanan.
The 15th president.
Oh my goodness.
Yes.
And his Secretary of the Navy, Isaac Toosey, Because, allegedly, they were rewarding contracts on the basis of party relations.
Now, that was a historical lesson that I had to learn.
Now, in this, of course, all the Dems present voted for censure, and the Republicans voted 187-4 against it.
But there were four defectors.
Yes.
Now, one of the defectors, of course, was Representative Will Hurd of Texas, the one black Republican.
He agreed that it was all racist.
It's amazing how often the black Republicans are quick to condemn the white constituents who put them in.
Think about, I think there was a great piece by Robert Hampton about a senator from South Carolina, the black senator from South Carolina.
I can't think of his name right now, but he's come out and he's attacked all sorts of the racial positions of Trump
over his time as president.
And of course, going back to J.C. Watts.
Oh, yes.
All these black Republicans have no problem spitting in the face of their party.
It's interesting to me, this one black Republican, Will Hurd, he hasn't become the media celebrity or the Republican
celebrity that you would expect.
They have a genuine black man who's with their party.
You'd think they'd be thrusting him forward far more vigorously.
And then there were three other white Republican House members whose names I'd never heard of, but it was a pretty nifty divide right along party lines.
And of course, there was this press conference afterwards, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now saying that America belongs to everyone, everyone in the world.
Why not?
So what's the point of citizenship?
This is why I encourage every one of our listeners to go pick up a copy of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers and the concept of a civilian versus a citizen and how in his futuristic society one becomes a citizen. I'm thinking
about David French's piece for National Review. Did you read what his take was on Alain Omar? No. I'm
going to read just real quick because I think this is this is important. David French is of
course the resident cuck of National Review.
If you want to have the poster child of cuck-servative, it would be David French.
He wrote, to be crystal clear, I believe Alain Omar and every citizen immigrant should be grateful for their place
in this country.
What I reject is the notion that native-born citizens like myself can demand a level of gratitude from immigrants
beyond what we demand from native-born citizens.
He ended the piece by doubling down.
Many of Alain Omar's views are repugnant, but they're not especially repugnant because she's an immigrant.
And we should not hold immigrants to a higher standard of gratitude than we apply to the people who did nothing to earn their place in this land.
He's talking about native-born Americans.
I mean, what in the world?
That language fits right in with this resolution.
It sure does.
I mean, as soon as she takes the oath, she has every claim on America that those whose ancestors built the place.
Again, this is the kind of thinking I think it's exclusive to white countries, exclusive, perhaps, to the United States.
If you naturalize in France and you say, well, I'm just as French as you.
Most Frenchmen, you know, I think very few, very few immigrants would dare say that.
But here in the United States, it goes without saying, and conservatives agree.
You can't hold them to a different standard at all.
Just because they came from some miserable dung heap, we let them in, and then they, as Donald Trump said in his tweets, they come marching in from completely failed countries and tell us how to operate ours.
Well, David French has this view, it's almost self-immolation, because America is a religion to them, this strange Yes, they will happily replace us.
to the Constitutional Declaration of Independence, the shining city of the hill, this Reaganism
nonsense that they would be so wedded to the same ideology that the squad, as you're talking
about, that are working to dismantle the same heritage, the same people who, like you noted,
brick by brick by brick, body by body by body, blood, blood, blood, blood, through generations
that built this nation. Yes, they will happily replace us and they will spit on our graves.
But, you know, Donald Trump, he has his flaws, but today he's tweeting something that I think is
pretty clever. He's tweeting, He tweeted about a new Rasmussen poll that has just announced that the number of Trump supporters is at a maximum high of 50%.
He's gone over 50% for the first time, up 4%.
And probably it's because of all of these things that the Squad has been up to.
And so he tweeted, Okay, Donald, that's not the way I would operate, but you may be right about that.
And to the extent that he has made them the poster girls of the Democratic Party, And has forced the Democratic Party to rally around these people who, at some visceral level, repel and repulse many Americans.
That is a very successful thing.
I'm not sure if he's smart enough to have thought that out ahead of time, but that is the effect of what he's doing.
And I think that is an effective thing.
Well, we're not apologists for the Republican Party.
If you've listened to our podcast, you know that both Jared and myself, Mr. Taylor and myself, we're very skeptical of anything that President Trump says he's going to do, promises he's going to make, executive orders he claims will be signed by...
himself at some point down the line.
But I will say this, the GOP put out an ad with the ICE, we're not going to talk about it, but it highlights the Antifa attack on the ICE facility where the Antifa member who was motivated in his manifesto by Cortez's language, by the squad's language, and they point out that they refuse to denounce this terrorist act.
The Democrats refuse to denounce race.
They refuse to denounce it.
Most specifically, the squad members, the four ladies you spoke of.
It's a very powerful ad.
And that kind of stuff, obviously, I don't really care who wins in 2020, but it's important that more and more white people are forced to think about race and about the country's changes and what it means to have representatives of the equality, or lack thereof, of a Cortez and a Omar.
Well, unlike you, I do care about who wins in 2020.
And I do hope that we do get this buffoon, Donald Trump, another four years because he will continue to stir the pot.
He will continue to make the dividing lines clearer and clearer and clearer.
But to follow up on what you just said, this man, very seldom can we count on him to keep his word.
And here's yet another example of Donald Trump talking big but acting small.
Because it appears that, well, you remember there was a time in which he gave Congress two weeks to change American immigration law so that to stop this border crisis of people swarming across with these families and claiming asylum, he said if that didn't happen, then he was going to carry out these massive raids.
Then it turned out there was only going to be 2,000 people that he was going to arrest and deport.
These are people who've had their walking papers.
They've been told, clear out, and they're still here.
Well, the two weeks were up long ago, and now he claims that these massive raids have started.
Well, it appears that if it's going on, it's going on in a very, very subtle way.
The operation appears far more modest than anything Trump had ever talked about.
You know, just a few days ago, he was again talking about millions.
That guy gets his decimal points wrong sometimes.
But, for example, Matthew Albence, ICE's acting director, would not confirm any operational details on Sunday.
But he did say that we did have a need to have these raids.
Activists patrolled the streets of several major cities to document any arrests and, of course, to offer any assistance should arrests be made.
But there were no signs of any large-scale sweep.
So, again, this once again sounds like a bunch of hot air.
Maybe there are a few sort of routine arrests, but nothing special with, after all, this bluster and huffing and puffing.
Well, especially after you gave the ultimatum.
Yes.
Two weeks.
This is back in June.
It was in mid-June that we had the leak of the news that there was going to be millions
of illegal immigrants rounded up.
And then he decided, oh well, at the last second we'll default to Pelosi because she
We'll give you two weeks to come up with an agreement.
And as you know, this past weekend, nothing materialized.
Was one illegal immigrant apprehended and deported?
We're not sure.
We're not sure.
He says, Donald Trump says, hey, it's been going on.
All this great stuff's been going on.
Y'all just don't know about it.
Well, President Trump, I hope you're right, but I fear you're not.
But listen to what Mary Bauer says.
Now, she is a personality at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
That's a new name to me.
She's the deputy legal director.
Remember, they got in some trouble because they were accused of racism and sexism and probably homophobia while we're at it.
Maybe a little anti-Semitism thrown in.
Who knows?
Maybe anti-ableism.
In any case, Mary Bauer is the deputy legal director.
And she says, immigrants and immigrant communities all over the country are in hiding.
People are living in these terrified, terrorized way because that is the point of this whole action.
Whether enforcement actions take place or not.
Well, maybe so.
But the American Immigration Council, which is one of these lefty do-gooder bunches, they were on standby with lawyers to give legal advice.
Should that be needed?
And the Miami-based Florida Immigration Correlation said that immigrants were sheltering at home after ICE agents were seen near the city's airport.
It sounds like the aliens have landed.
We're all in the basement.
But no arrests are reported.
Now, a spokesman for this group says they've been stocking up on groceries and making plans to stay in their homes with the lights off and the blinds down.
And some are staying home from work.
Now, but as I said, President Donald Trump told reporters just yesterday that, quote, the ICE raids were very successful.
Many, many were taken out on Sunday.
You just didn't know about it.
Well, who do you believe?
The president or these people who are on the ground making sure that they're sheltering in place?
Now, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Just on Sunday, he was tweeting about, he says, we have followed up on every report today so far.
And have no confirmed ICE activity.
Yeah, I don't believe the President at all.
In fact, I would wager that less than five illegal immigrants have been apprehended in these extravagant raids that he promised.
The millions.
I know.
I can't do a very good Trump impersonation, but it doesn't matter because it's just bloviating full of hot air.
Yes, it's too bad.
But you know, again, Mayor Bill de Blasio and all of these groups, they act as though ICE were occupying Nazis or something.
You know, you follow them around and you report them.
It's just the enemy, the enemy has showed up.
But anyway, one group that apparently doesn't consider them the enemy is the NYPD.
Were you aware of that?
The head of the union, he said that we are sworn to uphold the law and we don't make the law and it's our job to cooperate with ICE.
Whatever Bill de Blasio says.
You know, in a lot of these cities that are dominated by Democrats, the Union, the Fraternal Order of Police, they are constantly butting heads with the liberal, I would even argue the anti-white administrations of a city like, say, Chicago, or New York, or Baltimore, because they do want to uphold the law.
They want to do their job.
That's it.
They want to do their job.
And I think, just on principle, it drives them nuts when people get away with breaking the law.
It's why I think, and we've had the same conversation before, it would take a week if you could just, if you were able to have a mayor of a city, just, you know, obviously, magically, and say of New York, and they work with the New York police, and then they said, all right, we've got the gang database, we know where they all are.
I mean, going back to Chicago, the new lesbian mayor Lightfoot, the black female mayor of Chicago, she said that we're not going to allow ICE And the Feds to cooperate with our databases because we have to shield these illegal aliens.
Well, in the meantime, according to a Politico morning consult survey, 51% of those questioned are in favor of Trump's ICE raids on illegal immigrants subject to deportation orders.
I think that's pretty good.
51% said yes.
And Politico is not going to go run around soliciting conservative points of view.
And only 35% said no.
85% of Republicans say, yeah, they got a deportation order.
Round them up.
Clear them out.
Of course, only 29% of Democrats said that.
Again, we're getting this remarkable split on things like this.
Another interesting development, and that is the change in the asylum rules.
This is a unilateral declaration by the Justice and Homeland Security Departments, but they're saying that any asylum applicant who shows up who has transited through a third country Now, there are two different arguments here.
One is, of course, if you are fleeing some legitimate persecution, you're supposed to apply for asylum in the first safe place you get to.
You can't just bounce through five, six, seven, eight different countries and decide, you know, the place I really want to be in is Sweden.
You're not supposed to do that.
But at the same time, apparently, you have to have an agreement.
If they all want to get to the United States, and we're saying, no, no, if you transited through Mexico, you've got to go there first.
Mexico apparently has to agree.
I mean, there's some dispute about this.
But the theory is now we're going to say, OK, you can't apply for asylum.
Out.
We're not going to listen to you.
But of course, the ACLU has immediately filed suit in a Northern California federal court, which is notoriously pro-immigrant.
And at the same time, another group has filed court in the federal court in Washington, D.C.
So we'll see how long this goes.
The federal judiciary has been really a pest on this, I must say.
Last year, the Trump administration would have barred asylum claims by immigrants who crossed the border illegally.
A court struck that down.
And federal judges also blocked the Trump administration last year for enforcing rules that made it harder for immigrants to seek asylum because they're victims of domestic or gang violence.
I mean, again, this is not in the treaties.
No.
No, it's got nothing to do with that.
It's part of the reconquest of a continent.
It is basically the decision that anybody who manages to get here deserve to be here.
Whatever their reasons, whatever their excuse.
But now, of course, nearly all the families are caught crossing the border illegally.
They've been released with orders to report back to immigration court at a later date.
Now, the courts have a backlog of... Do you know how many cases?
Immigration courts.
Immigration courts.
I'll guess... It's six figures.
I'll guess 110,000.
908,000 pending cases.
So I was almost off by an order of magnitude.
Yes, 908,000.
Staggering, isn't it?
So, you know, I like the idea that they've got to wait until their case is heard in Mexico.
They'll be waiting a long time.
They will be waiting a long time.
Let me ask you a question.
What percentage of Mexicans do you believe, according to a new study, a survey conducted by the Washington Post and Mexico's Reforma newspaper, what percentage of Mexicans do you believe are deeply frustrated with Immigrants.
After a year of heightened migration from Central America through the country.
Deeply frustrated.
Deeply frustrated.
Now, of course, immigrants is the wrong word.
There are infiltrators who are trekking, traversing across Mexico to get to the United States.
That's exactly right.
Well, you know, I'd guess maybe... 35, 40 percent?
Something like that?
The Post reports more than 6 in 10 Mexicans say migrants are a burden on their country And of course, migrant, once again, wrong word.
They're infiltrators traversing across Mexico to get to the United States.
6 in 10?
More than 60%!
Yeah, because they take jobs and benefits that should go to Mexicans, and 55% majority support deporting migrants who travel through Mexico to reach the United States.
Well, good for them.
Good for them.
And, you know, I would have expected a figure like that in a place like just south of the border, Tijuana, someplace where they accumulate.
I would have expected figures like that.
But that's nationwide.
That's nationwide.
Wow.
Well, Mexicans are wising up.
Well, you know, President Trump has lately been saying that Mexico has been doing more to solve the immigration crisis than Congress.
Well, he's right.
Yeah, he is.
I mean, the Mexicans have got this new police force that's going to try to keep people from crossing their southern border.
At the same time, you know, when it looks like a Mexican president is cooperating with the United States, he takes heat, they're in a bit of a delicate situation as far as all of that is concerned.
Remember, there was this thing called Migrant Protection Protocols, according to which we were going to have all these people who are applying for asylum in the United States go back to Mexico and wait.
That's right.
But that was something that American federal courts got involved in, and so we can't do it as much as we thought.
And he's taking a little heat for that, for obvious reasons.
The Mexicans don't want them camped in Mexico.
No, they don't.
While we work through our 900,000 backlog.
Because that's a burden on all the remittances that are coming into Mexico, that they don't have to spend any of those tax dollars.
But I'll tell you, speaking of a burden of Mexicans, I'd like to read the opening paragraph of a Los Angeles Times story about the vibrancy that California now has, sort of the atavistic impulses of the new arrivals from Mexico, and the story is about MS-13 and a number of gruesome killings that they describe as medieval.
I believe that's a wrong word as well.
Well, of course, MS, they're from Salvador, really.
They are, but that same ethos, that same, like I said, that atavism that is there.
Let me just read.
Quote, one by one the victims were lured to remote locations an abandoned building in downtown Los Angeles, an empty rooftop in Hollywood, a quiet park in the San Fernando Valley.
Each was accused of a transgression against the notorious MS-13 street gang.
Each would meet their end in a manner federal investigators described as medieval.
In one case, court records show a 16-year-old boy was lured to a canyon and beaten to death in 2017.
His body went undiscovered for so long that his remains wound up charred in a wildfire.
Earlier that year, another man, suspected of defacing an MS-13 graffiti tag, was abducted and dragged into the Angeles National Forest.
Six gang members cut him apart with machetes, and according to prosecutors, One was alleged to have cut out his heart.
Wow, you're right.
They are reverting to type, aren't they?
Back to the ancestral Aztec religion.
I wonder if they used flint knives?
Well, one of my favorite books is The History of the Conquest of Mexico by William Prescott, which I encourage all of our listeners to pick up and read.
It is a fascinating tale of what the Spaniards encountered when they went to what is now Mexico City.
And, of course, they found out the religion of... we were talking earlier... Quetzalcoatl?
Yeah, Quetzalcoatl.
And what they found was the Skulls.
And one of my... this powerful part of this book where it talks about the Spaniards as they enter.
this enclosure and I'll quote real quick from the book, um, as the Spaniards cast a furtive glance into the throat
of this horrible monster, they saw collected there implements of
sacrifice and other abominations of fearful import.
Their bold hearts shuddered at the spectacle and they designated the place
not in aptly as the hell. Now Mr. Taylor, if you remember from last
year when uh the skull towers were discovered, they had long been rumored to exist.
They're mentioned in Prescott's book as over 130,000 skulls were counted.
And, well, they were discovered.
There's a great Scientific America story about this last year.
Well, going back to what's happening as the reconquest of a continent is taking place in California, The Los Angeles Times reported that in this sweeping 78-page indictment that the California law enforcement has marked as the latest salvo against the notorious MS-13 gang, which, I mean, again,
19 of the 22 defendants that have been charged in this indictment entered the country illegally in the last four years, said Tom Rorzek, who's a spokesman for the U.S.
Attorney's Office there in Occupy Los Angeles.
And several of the victims described in the indictment were also new arrivals in the U.S.
from Central America.
This is turf war, basically, between the rival ethnic clans that are vying for control over de-Anglo-ized Los Angeles.
Isn't part of this a struggle with El M?
The Mexican Mafia?
It is.
There are multiple gangs involved, and this story is very much worth tracking down.
Because again, this violence, it goes back to the type of horrifying images we saw in Mel Gibson's Apocalypto.
I don't think you've ever seen that film, but he made it quite clear of the culture that Pre-European Mexico, before the Spaniards came, Cortes, of what existed.
These sacrifices and just the brutality.
So the Los Angeles Times, for federal investigators to describe it as medieval, I think that does a disservice to Europeans.
You're absolutely right.
They should call it Aztec.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
Gosh.
It is true that it is hard to find any religion anywhere in the history of the world that was so drenched in blood as this Central American worship of all of these funny gods.
Sometimes the priests would cut themselves too.
I won't even describe some of the parts of their bodies that they would mutilate.
Their own bodies, as well as blood, was really sort of the language of religion, it seems.
This type of violence that we're seeing, also it's the type that's driving the crypts and the bloods, your traditional black gangs in Compton.
Basically, to leave.
These Central American Mexican gangs, as they vie for control of the territories, they're making these black gangs pale in comparison to the type of drive-by shootings that you usually see.
Well, you know, it makes you wonder how many of these illegals were on a detainer order from ICE.
They're in jail already, but some sanctuary city let them loose.
Los Angeles, LA is a sanctuary city.
California is a sanctuary state.
Yes, the whole state is a sanctuary state.
Well, that's a wonderful segue because we do have to once again highlight the great people of ICE.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is releasing quarterly reports of illegal immigrants accused of crimes In an effort to highlight the dangers posed by these sanctuary cities where policies after local police denied retainer requests.
We've talked unfortunately ad nauseum about these the lack of communication between police departments and sanctuary cities and in denying these retainer requests and some of the horrifying acts that these illegal immigrants go on to commit, whether
it's raping a canine, as we saw I think in, it was either Oregon or Washington,
as all of America becomes a border state with Mexico because of this. Well,
ICE has now has released its first declined detainer report.
Great name.
It's a comprehensive list of illegal aliens who were accused of criminal acts after local jails refused to honor ICE detainers and allowed them to be released back into the American public.
The list contains detainers issued between January 1, 2018 and March 31, 2018.
That's the second quarter of the 2018 fiscal year.
And I'll just briefly read a quote from Director Ron Vitilio, who's the former acting ICE director.
He said, quote, so you have murders, you have people who did property crimes, spousal abuse, driving under the influence, possession of narcotics.
They came into custody of local authorities and were released after ICE filed a detainer.
This is a danger to those communities and the declined detainer report highlights what happens.
End quote.
Mr. Taylor, in a sane society, this wouldn't even be happening.
No, no.
They call it the declined... it's detainer or retainer?
Declined detainer report.
Detainer.
So they issue a detainer order.
They do.
You know, there's a better name for that.
They should call it...
Fiends you let loose report or you know terrible crimes that could have been avoided.
Infiltrators released.
Yes.
We got to remember we have to start using that as a synonym for illegal immigrants.
But at least at least they are tabulating this on a quarterly basis.
I think that is great.
And I was delighted to see, this is a bit of good news, that just last Friday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Trump administration's decision to prioritize federal dollars to those places that are actually complying with immigration policies.
It was a split two-to-one decision, but it decided that the Justice Department could withhold money from sanctuary cities.
It turned out that it was Los Angeles.
Los Angeles sued the administration after it denied a $3 million grant.
And the district court sided with Los Angeles.
And, bless their hearts, the Department of Justice appealed.
And the appeals court decided that the panel held that the DOJ did not exceed its statutory authority in awarding bonus points to applications that selected the illegal immigration focus area or that agreed to the certification of these people as
illegals that had to be turned over.
So in this case, this was a small victory. I hope it lasts.
And if it goes to the Supreme Court, I hope the Supreme Court will agree
that when you're deciding who to give money to, you can penalize people who are not carrying out federal
law.
A spot of good news indeed.
Well, we know that Democrats want to protect the rights of illegal aliens in the country.
in the country.
What we also now know is that the US.
military wants to protect the secrecy of the existence of extraterrestrials.
Well that's right, they're going to protect the bodies of aliens.
That's apparently what's happening because the conspiracy theory haven of Area 51, there is a Facebook group that has called for a tongue-in-cheek Mass storming of the military installation there in Nevada.
The Facebook group is called Storm Area 51 which has now exceeded 1 million people who have said they will storm Area 51.
This comes on the heels of an individual who was shot back in January of 2018.
He drove through a security checkpoint To try to get into Area 51.
A car chase ensued for eight miles where the suspect exited the car and he was approached by officers, security forces of Area 51, and they said that he had a cylindrical object in his hand and he was promptly shot to death.
So that shows you the type of security that Area 51 has.
Now why I think this is so important is the U.S.
Air Force put out a statement about the storming of Area 51 and they said, Mr. Taylor, and to our listening audience, quote, the U.S.
Air Force is aware of the Facebook event encouraging people to storm Area 51.
The Nevada Test and Training Range provides flexible, realistic, and multi-dimensional battle space to test and develop tactics, as well as conduct advanced training in support of U.S.
national interests.
Any attempt to illegally access the area is highly discouraged.
Now, there are signs all around.
You can see, you know, people have tried to They have tried to infiltrate Area 51.
I mean, you think back to movies, Independence Day, that have created this aura around what is actually held at Area 51.
And as we know, it's the Skunk Works.
It's where for years they've tested, you know, the SR-71.
Going back to the X-15.
Yeah, the B-2 bomber, the F-117, when these were in the development stages in the 1970s.
and SR-71 in the 1950s 60s and who knows what type of advanced weaponry exists now.
Well you have all these people who I guess they don't believe in anything but they just want to see the proof of extraterrestrials but at the same time we see that the United States military is ready to protect the interests of this base and what so What's so melancholy to me is that we spend, what, 700, 800 billion dollars on defense every year, and yet how many illegals in the first four months of this year cross the border?
Well, that's just it.
If you had a mass rush for the fence of Area 51, it sounds as though the armed forces would shoot you down.
But you can have a mass rush to the borders of the United States, and nobody would dare do it.
Nobody would dare pull the trigger.
No.
I mean, even if you throw tear gas grenades at them, that is considered a crime against humanity.
It's just these weird, weird priorities we have.
But no, you're right.
There's a strange contrast here.
And I suspect, say, if you had people rushing the fence, and you know, maybe, who knows, say 50 people got shot, all rushing in.
There'd be some cluck, cluck, clucking about it, but there would be infinitely more cluck, cluck, clucking.
I think the military would work with Google and other internet providers to try and get any of the images offline and scrubbed faster than Bill Clinton was scrubbed with pictures of Jeff Epstein.
I think we'd probably find out about it one way or another.
But another little bit of good news we can talk about today is the fact that the civil rights charges brought by federal prosecutors against Daniel Pantaleo are not going to be laid against the man.
Now, this is the fellow.
He's a police officer in New York.
On July 17th in 2014, he's the one who took Eric Garner down.
And this is what led to all the I can't breathe, I can't breathe stuff.
Well, prosecutors in Brooklyn and Washington D.C.
agonized over whether to charge him with civil rights violations for a period of ever since then for five years now for five years they mulled over this and finally decided they lack sufficient evidence.
Now what was the crime that they were going to charge him with?
It is a federal crime whenever a person who is acting under color of any law that is of governmental authority violates another person's civil rights willfully.
And those civil rights, they don't have to be anything related to voting rights or racial discrimination.
They are the rights of life, liberty, or property, as defined in the 14th Amendment.
You cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, and anyone who willfully does this under color of law can be charged with violating your civil rights.
Then also there's a Fourth Amendment right of unreasonable search and seizure.
And there are significant penalties if this crime leads to injury or death, which is what they were considering in this case.
But you have to show that there was a specific intent of the defendant to deprive the victim of a particular federal right.
Well, let us review the facts in this case.
I followed it fairly closely.
As it turned out, this fellow Eric Garner.
Eric Garner weighed about 350 pounds.
He had asthma.
He had a heart condition.
He was so unhealthy that this guy couldn't walk a city block.
Without wheezing and having to sit down.
Well, at the time of his arrest, he was selling loosies, as they're called.
That is to say, he was selling single cigarettes, one at a time.
And this is against the law because you're evading the tax.
But it's not as though they picked him up just because they were mean and he wasn't doing anything particularly important.
He had been arrested by the NYPD more than 30 times.
Since 1980.
To me, that's the definition of a habitual criminal.
Repeat offender.
A repeat offender.
Habitual criminal.
He was out on bail at the time for selling untaxed cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false impersonation.
Now, I don't know what a false impersonation is, but he's pretending to be somebody who isn't, I guess.
Well, This guy, well they decide to arrest him and he starts resisting arrest.
This is clearly caught on video.
I'm sure you saw the video.
I've seen the video.
Probably all of our viewers saw the video.
He's resisting arrest and this Pantaleo guy, who's much smaller, he must weigh maybe 130 pounds.
He's a small guy.
He puts his arm around his neck and takes him down.
And he's got his arm around his neck for about 15 seconds, but then as soon as Garner is immobilized, then he puts him face down.
And when he's lying face down, Garner's heard to say, I can't breathe, 11 times.
11 times he says he can't breathe.
Well, they did not realize what his physical condition was.
Of course.
And so he's lying face down.
It says he can't breathe.
Well, then they called an ambulance because he was clearly, he had lost consciousness.
They didn't realize that he had stopped breathing.
And there is a guy who turns to the unconscious guard and says, breathe in, breathe out, come on.
But they did not attempt to resuscitate him because if somebody's already breathing, which they thought that he was, you don't do CPR on a guy who's already breathing.
Well, in any case, according to the police, he then had a heart attack while being transported in the police vehicle to the hospital.
Well, what to do about this?
There were various medical examinations, and it was clear that there was no damage to his trachea, his windpipe, or his neck bones, and this idea that he was put into a chokehold There's some debate about that.
Now, it looks like you could call what Pantaleo did a chokehold to me, but apparently it's called a seatbelt maneuver.
It can be also called that in which you persuade some guy to do something he doesn't want to do.
You put him in the seatbelt maneuver.
In any case, it does not look as though...
Something that is certainly not true is that he was not choked to death.
No.
No.
Not at all.
That is what is getting around.
Have you ever done any form of martial arts or karate and been choked?
I have been choked.
You can't talk.
I have been choked.
No, exactly.
You can't talk.
You're gasping for air.
Yes.
Your throat is cut off.
That's exactly right.
And the idea that you can say, I can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
Well, you have to be able to breathe in order to say, I can't breathe.
Well, he probably was complaining about the pressure on his chest.
His diaphragm, yeah.
Yes.
Here's this guy, asthma, he weighs, he's way overweight.
That was the problem with this guy.
And I think a 350-pound white guy resisting arrest, he would have been treated exactly the same way.
Of course.
In any case, it is a very good thing that the feds have decided not to charge him.
That is exactly as it should be.
Now, he still faces an internal disciplinary trial within the NYPD.
This thing has just gone on forever and ever and ever.
They took his gun and his badge away.
He's on a desk job.
I mean, they've turned life into hell for this guy.
Yeah.
While he's had all these federal charges hanging over his head for all this time, at least that is out of the way.
And now, another little detail here that doesn't come up very often.
The city of New York settled with Eric Garner's estate for 5.9 million dollars.
So, all these people are millionaires now.
But they're still beefing.
In any case, I wanted to go into some detail about that because this is one of those situations in which it's just like Ferguson.
When you look into the details, it's just like the Trayvon Martin case.
You look into the details and there's nothing racial, first of all, and if the police did something wrong, it certainly wasn't kind of any intentional Attempt to deprive him of civil rights.
This is just a whole huge case of baloney, but it just goes to show if enough blacks make enough noise about something, you better not pretend it didn't happen.
You know, switching gears real quick.
Go ahead.
We have to go to an event that took place 50 years ago.
And it's this weekend, July 20th, 1969.
Two men walked on the moon.
Another man, unfortunately, had to watch from the capsule as it...
As it went around the moon as it waited for the Eagle to head back up.
And I'm talking about Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin when they walked on the moon for the first time back on July 20th, 1969.
And I'm referring to a story that WTOP, which is a news organization out of Washington DC, they put up a tweet on July 16th, honoring the man who was most responsible for this achievement.
And I'm talking about Wernher von Braun.
I'm just going to read the tweet progression, Mr. Taylor.
They published an article, apparently.
They published an article, and the article was titled, Rocket that sent men to moon was his greatest achievement.
That was the title of the article.
And their tweet had a little deck that said, Apollo 11 got off the ground in no small part thanks to Wernher von Braun, a brilliant German-American rocket engineer who was laid to rest in Alexandria, Virginia.
Yeah, and remember, this is a local Virginia radio station that's putting this out, so he's a local boy.
Yep, yep.
So, they then sent out another tweet, WTOP.
At WTOP, they wrote out, Correction!
We have updated this story to explicitly state that Wernher von Braun was a Nazi.
I guess they'd forgotten that.
They'd forgotten that point.
That's got to be in the headline.
Or that's got to be in the lead.
Inverted pyramid here.
And then they had another tweet after that.
After careful consideration, WTOP has decided to remove the article from our website.
This story did not meet WTOP's standards and should not have appeared on any of our platforms.
So, let's go back here.
The original story that was published.
It's got a picture of von Braun.
Rocket that sent men to moon was his greatest achievement.
I'm talking about the Saturn V rocket that you see launch in all the beautiful images.
On July 16th, 1969.
I can't remember how tall.
I think it was 33 stories.
In fact, they actually superimposed an image of the Saturn V on the Washington Monument a couple days ago.
Which, I can't believe they did that because, A, why is the Washington Monument still standing?
Washington was a slave owner, and how dare you have The machine that a Nazi built and designed.
I mean, my goodness!
Well, of course, the significance of this, of course, is that you cannot mention the name Wernher von Braun without saying, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi.
Racist, racist, racist.
And if somebody actually simply concentrates on his scientific achievements, relates it to the 50th anniversary, and has not made that part of the headline, then you've got to jerk the story.
What is fascinating to me is they apparently couldn't even figure out a way to even emphasize the fact that he was a Nazi, but then bring themselves to say anything good about him.
No.
Because he was a Nazi, because he was a racist, you cannot acknowledge anything that he did that was good, even if you're writing about the 50th anniversary of his greatest achievement.
Well, perhaps the most extraordinary achievement in mankind's known history.
Think, 65 years after the Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk, we're on the moon.
It is extraordinary.
But, you know, what it reminds me of something else that happened recently was Joe Biden was criticized for conceding that in 1973, when he first went to the Senate, some of these segregationists were civil people.
They probably were civil people, but if they were racists, you're not allowed to recognize that they had even one molecule of good in them.
And of course, in the case of Wernher von Braun, what he did was so significant that, for the liberal mind, it's just a complete contradiction.
You cannot recognize something good done by a guy who was, gasp, on the wrong side of history.
Russia Today just put out an article because the Washington Post actually, it might be the New York Times, they put out this article which diminished NASA's achievement because it was overwhelmingly white and male and that was the language they used.
This culture that got us to the moon, it was overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly male and they attacked that so Russia Today put out this I haven't read it yet.
I'm looking over here.
It's, uh, do liberals think it might have been better for NASA to stay on Earth until U.S.
society advanced enough to send the right people, a black woman, into space?
Should the U.S.S.R.
have been allowed to win the space race?
And the article is by Igor Ogorodinov.
And I can't wait to read this because as someone who wrote a book called Whitey on the Moon, I think that this is such a fascinating achievement that, again, we can't really celebrate That's right.
Their 50th anniversary.
It's like Columbus, you know?
It's like Thanksgiving.
It's like the conquest of the West.
Can't celebrate any of that.
Going to the moon is no good either because there weren't any people of color involved.
Well, we tried to retcon it with hidden figures, but if you look at the Ameren website, you will find an article by me which denounces and invalidates that fictional take.
It's a correct.
So, I believe we've come to the end of our time.
I'm actually shocked how fast this went by today.
So, I will end it by saying, once again, we don't know when YouTube could pull the plug, so please, because we live here, at ProtonMail.com is my email, because we live here at ProtonMail.com, send me your contacts so we can stay in touch with you.
We've got a fantastically long list of people who you're going to be hearing from us shortly, as we're adding to our newsletter, and Mr. Taylor, if they want to go to the AR site, It's the contact us tab on emrin.com.
So for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Our podcast time is up.
