Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to episode 148 of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me, of course, is PK.
Now, we are recording this podcast on September 11th, I don't believe it's going to go up today.
It will go up probably in a day or two.
But it being the case, I thought I would muse a little bit on how wrong I was, how mistaken I was, at the time when those attacks happened in 2001, 18 years ago.
To me, it was so clear that this would never have happened.
Without a group of Muslims living in the United States in which these terrorists could swim like fish, the way Mao described communist guerrillas swimming like fish in the sea amongst the Chinese peasantry.
It seemed to me that this was such a clear example of bad immigration policy that I thought it would get people thinking, well, wait a minute, do we really need more Muslims?
And once they started thinking seriously about Muslims, I thought, the next step is, do we really need more Haitians?
And perhaps Mexicans?
What have Mexicans done for us?
I imagined this utterly naive cascade of questions about what is our immigration policy and what are immigrants for in light of this horrific attack on our people?
Well, I was wrong.
Of course, the narrative shifted such that it was, what's wrong with us?
Why are people attacking us?
It must be, or what's right about us?
They're attacking us because of our values.
It had nothing to do with our immigration policy.
In any case, it did not by any means start the story that I thought it would.
And in fact, Instead of taking a hard look at Muslims, it turns out that we have been welcoming them by the boatload, by the bucketload.
We're going to get to that.
A place we never had before.
We're going to get to that.
I want to ask you something.
I believe that A significant number of Americans actually did think about
that question because that's the reason why Donald Trump was elected.
Think about what happened.
Build the wall.
Send them back earlier this year.
The chance that started up.
Of course, Donald Trump, I guess he disavowed, but they came up spontaneously.
That was 15 years later.
It was 15 years later, but because he was the first person to really voice these ideas.
Yes, but I thought this was such a blatant miscarriage of any notion of what's good for America.
Immigration was absolutely a gun to our heads.
It was.
It was a plane to our iconic buildings, and I thought this was going to start the debate that was really going to matter.
How wrong I was, it did not.
And even to this day, when people talk about the September 11 attacks, immigration scarcely comes into it.
And if you talk about the fact that it was all Muslims, that there have been Muslims attacks all around the world, then you're an Islamophobe and a nativist and a white supremacist and all the rest.
It's amazing how many cities are saying, oh, Indianapolis remembers, or there's going to be a monument built in X city, and we remember 9-11.
What exactly do you remember about 9-11?
If you don't address the ultimate elephant in the room.
And of course, we've seen the Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who a lot of conservatives love.
You know, the guy with the eyepatch.
He's a Navy SEAL.
He always says, we go fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them here.
Well, dude, I hate to say it, pal, but get this.
Since 2001, lawful permanent residents That's the term that is used to describe people who are given a green card.
We've issued roughly 2.2 million green cards to nationals of predominantly Muslim countries from 2001 through the first quarter of 2018, a level we've never seen before in our nation's history.
This article comes to us courtesy of Conservative Review.
There are occasionally some really good pieces there, and this is one of them.
Get this.
Since 2009, we've brought in roughly 188,000 Iraqis.
That's just since 2009?
Just since 2009.
We brought in about 5,000 prior.
So since 2001, Iraq is not even the leading country that we brought in.
We brought in 193,000 Iraqis as a lawful permanent resident.
How'd we get along without them all those years?
I'm not quite sure.
Even the bigger question is how do we get along without 215,000 individuals from Bangladesh?
Bangladesh?
Bangladesh is boy we badly need it.
221,000 from Iran.
Let's go some more.
Pakistan leads the lawful permanent residents since 2001.
277,000.
Boy, that's more than a quarter of a million.
57,000. Boy, that's more than a quarter of a million. Somalia 106,000. Hey, we always hear conservatives say they're
against illegal immigration as long as you come here legally.
And we know, of course, that's the whole reason Ilhan Omar was even allowed to become a representative in Congress.
She came here legally.
So, and she came... Well, and so did the voters.
Exactly.
That's right.
Well, now there are, well, at least a quarter million of them, probably most of them concentrated in the St.
Paul, Minnesota area, voting diligently and perpetually for Ilhan Omar.
So 2.2 million green cards to nationals.
Predominant Muslim country since 9-11.
I'll sleep a lot better tonight knowing that.
I wish I could say the same thing.
Wow.
Well, okay.
This is what our rulers have in store for us.
It is a marked contrast with certain more enlightened rulers.
I would like to give you a good news story, and this has to do with the childbearing summit in Budapest, Hungary.
Viktor Orban, my favorite politician, bar none, he opened up this summit on the whole question of demography.
And he had delegates from dozens of countries all around the world who are willing to invest in family policies and in their demographic future.
As Mr. Orban said, large countries might not worry about population decline.
Of course, they should.
Yes, they should.
But the point he was making is, for a national community of the size of the Czechs, Serbs or Hungarians, it's not too difficult to mathematically predict That with a continuation of negative demographic trends sooner or later, there would be just one survivor left to turn off the lights.
He goes on to say, We think that if the world loses a nation, then it loses something that cannot be replaced by anything else.
It loses something irreplaceable.
Because we, as Hungarians, we cannot be Serbs.
Only Serbs can be Serbs.
Only Hungarians see the world from a Hungarian point of view.
Czechs cannot see the world in a Hungarian light.
And likewise, only the Czech people are able to create Czech culture.
No one else can.
So if a nation disappears, Something irreplaceable is lost.
And as a consequence, and this is precisely the thing that Enoch Powell said politicians should do, they should provide against foreseeable dangers in the future.
Guard against preventable evils.
Guard against preventable evils.
And that is what Viktor Orban is doing.
He says, we have got to have more babies.
And he's got various ideas how to do it.
And he was joined, not just by these delegations from dozens of countries.
I don't think the United States participated, alas.
And let's see, who else was there?
The Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia and the head of the Serbian government, they were there.
And one of the guests of honor was none other than Tony Abbott, Australian Prime Minister.
I find this remarkable.
I liked Tony Abbott.
Tony Abbott was pretty good on immigration when he was turning back all of these seagoing, all these seagoing migrants, the so-called boat people.
He turned them back with consistency, with a firm hand, and he went on to say that he saluted the Hungarian leader for having, quote, the political courage to defy Political correctness.
And he advocates likewise a policy of family support.
That's the only way to promote population growth in place of immigration.
And he praised Hungary's family support scheme as unique, saying it should be studied by other countries.
And I'll keep on with Abbott because I think it's absolutely remarkable that he was even there, that he's speaking out.
I'm sure that he is being roundly roasted back home in Australia.
He said dying populations, not climate change, are the biggest threat to Western civilization.
And he criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for saying recently they would have no more than two children because of their effects on the environment.
Ah, Abbott pointed out, having fewer children in Western countries will hardly make the climate better when so many children are being born elsewhere.
Absolutely right.
Now, as I've said, this two-day summit, it was attended also by the Czech Prime Minister, Andrzej Babis, and Serbia's President, Aleksandar Vuček.
And both said that for them, too, boosting birth rates is a priority for the long-term development of their countries.
It's the only priority.
Well, it's maybe not the only, maybe it's the number one priority.
I take that.
It's the number one priority and I'm so happy because I'm sure that our listeners, thank you, all of you, for listening once again to this podcast.
I'm sure they get tired of some of the stories where it just seems like it's an endless parade of negativity and just, gosh, this is insurmountable what's happening.
And yet here, some of the great countries of Europe and, of course, Australia, their leaders are coming together to say, No, we actually are people are what matters and creating positive outcomes and alternatives from massive aggression as the source for
Rejuvenation, which is what, you know, Canada, the United States, and Germany, and France, and the United Kingdom believe immigration is going to do.
No, no, no.
Our people first.
Their future is what matters.
And as Viktor Orban says, only the Czech people are able to create Czech culture.
Only Hungarians can be Hungarian.
As I said at the very first American Renaissance Conference back in 1994, we have the right to be us.
And only we can be us.
They are saying exactly the same thing.
They are.
And it is so encouraging.
Now, what they're doing in Hungary, they're doing the best they can.
The Hungarian government has doubled family spending between 2010 and 2019 with a goal of achieving replacement fertility by 2030.
As we know, that's about 2.1 children per woman.
And fertility rates have gone up from a shockingly low 1.2 to 1.5 in the period where Victor Orban has been pushing this.
But they really think they're going to be successful with the latest initiative, which is a loan of 10 million Hungarian forints.
That's equivalent of about $30,000.
That's an interest-free loan to all families, which, if the couple has three children, doesn't have to be paid back.
That's amazing.
$30,000.
Yes.
It almost makes me weep to think of a government that is thinking seriously about the survival of its people and taking measures to ensure that it does survive.
Poland also.
They have something called the 500 plus scheme.
Which pays parents 500 zloty, that's about $100 a month per child for the second child onwards.
And in just this July, the Polish scheme was extended to cover every child, including the first one.
You have a child, you get an extra $100 a month.
Two children, $200 a month.
And in Poland, $200, $100 a month, that goes a long way.
You know, you'd think that with some of the DNA testing that goes on in this country, 23andMe and these other companies where you can send off some, you know, your hair or some sort of follicles, you can get a DNA test back, which is conclusive.
It can show where some of your ancestry is from in Europe.
If you were able to show, you know, 25% Hungarian, 25% Polish ancestry, the government would then Those governments would say, we want you to come back.
We want you, Americans, you know, your country is experiencing turmoil long term.
We want you to come back and we will give you nationality because you By your DNA test, it shows that you are a Hungarian.
You know, even if you're not Hungarian, the Hungarians welcome white people from all around the world who want to come live in a white ethnostate.
They've been explicit about this.
I know at least half a dozen people who are from Britain, who are from the United States, who are from France, who have moved to Hungary.
Because that's one place that they know, if they have children, their children are going to grow up in what is probably going to be a Hungarian environment.
I know a guy who lives in Poland who moved for exactly that reason.
These people take the future seriously.
And how wonderful it would feel to be living in a country where the government really is looking after your political, social, and even your biological interests.
Think about the juxtaposition of those two stories, ladies and gentlemen, that we just did.
9-11, 18 years later, all you hear from our leaders is, Let's remember 9-11 without any mention of the criminal aspect that allowed 9-11 to happen.
Visa overstays, political correctness, which enabled... I think there's that horrible story of the airline employee who saw Muhammad Ata and said, if there was ever a terrorist, that's this guy.
But he was too ashamed at having noticed that he let the guy board the plane.
And put the conspiracies to rest, guys.
Put the conspiracies to rest.
9-11...
Muslims, largely from Saudi Arabia, and think about what we just talked about.
2.2 million Muslims have been given green cards to resettle here.
Their children are automatically as American as you and me, Jared.
That's right.
Doesn't it make your heart go pitter-pat?
It does not.
It makes your heart go thump-thump, if anything.
Well, we have a few more bad news stories, I'm afraid, folks.
Bad news from up in Canada.
And I was actually surprised to see this story.
Ontario's Supreme Court is going to grapple this month with just how much weight should be given to systemic racism when it comes to sentencing black offenders.
What the court's going to deal with is a prosecution challenge to what it calls a manifestly too lenient sentence.
Handed down to a black Toronto man who was caught carrying a loaded firearm.
Now, last year, the Superior Court, Justice Sean Nakatsuru, that's a Japanese name I might point out, gave Kevin Morris, he was a first-time offender, but carrying a loaded gun, which is considered very serious in Canada, a 12-month jail sentence, instead of the four years the prosecution wanted.
The prosecution said, look, illegal gun possession is an urban scourge resulting in, quote, often immeasurable human cost of gun crime.
And they said four years.
But what Judge Nakatsuru said, he gave a lighter sentence because of the disadvantages and systemic anti-black racism that defendant Kevin Morris had faced growing up in Toronto.
The rot runs deep all across the western world.
Wow, the rot runs deep.
Yes, indeed.
Now, the fact is Toronto is one of the most self-consciously, almost exhibitionistically, multi-culti places on earth.
A guy who's 26 years old?
That guy probably never faced a lick of racism of any kind.
Isn't their motto, the mantra, it's like, in diversity is our strength or something?
That would not surprise me.
Toronto, Toronto is, as I say, it just flouts and glories in the fact that it is filled with people from all around the world that think this is the most wonderful thing possible.
And so, Kevin Morris, nevertheless, has suffered grievously all his life.
But what Justice Nakatsura wrote was, "...social structures and societal attitudes that were born of colonialism, slavery, and racism have a very long reach.
We must not forget this.
Our memory of past injustices must be long enough to do justice."
So, he took into account two expert reports commissioned by the defense, and he said he could not give in to the Toronto community's fear of crime.
The Toronto community is very afraid of gun crime, but we can't give in to that because we must focus on the individual offender.
And the reason?
As he says, the attitudes that were born of colonialism.
That goes back a long way.
Colonialism.
Slavery.
How much slavery was there in Canada?
There was a very, very brief period of slavery in Canada.
Good grief.
And then systemic anti-black racism that this poor Kevin Morris had to grow up facing in Toronto.
Now, And this is news to me.
At the present time, the courts are required to take into account when sentencing the backgrounds of indigenous offenders, that's Eskimos and Indians.
A defense win in Morris's appeal could lead to similar requirements to assess the impact of race on black offenders.
This just staggers me.
Now, what they do is they get qualified experts.
I wonder how you qualify to be an expert.
I think somehow you and I would not qualify as experts no matter how much we know about race and the history of race relations in the United States.
Definitely citing crime statistics in Toronto and noticing how a certain demographic is largely responsible for the gun crime.
The more you know, the less qualified you are.
So, what they get is these qualified experts explain the offender's experience of systemic racism and how that should factor into sentencing.
And the fact that he was raised by a single mother in a neighborhood with high levels of violence and criminal activity that, of course, can be laid at the feet of colonialism.
And in this case, there are 14 people who wrote friends-of-the-court briefs, including civil rights activists, legal clinics that serve racialized communities, as they're called.
They're racialized communities.
And then, now this what I thought was quite remarkable too, and of course it's inevitable.
In a joint submission, there were several friends of the court, the Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic among them, who called for cultural assessments to apply to all minority groups, not just black.
Isn't that logical?
Didn't Chinese face racism?
Didn't Japanese face racism?
Oh, without a doubt.
I'm sure.
Golly!
And so, what this would boil down to is, Only white people face the full majesty of the law.
Everybody else gets an out.
Isn't that what this boils down to?
Precisely.
Think about the prejudice that the Chinese may have faced once in Vancouver.
Now Vancouver, for all intents and purposes, is an Asian city.
It's a Chinese colony.
They call it Hongkoover or Vankong.
They were able to succeed in spite of the systemic racism.
Well, but you know, the fact is, let us imagine that you are a member of the black community as it's called.
The black community.
Do you want blacks who are running around with weapons and the chances are they're going to unload those weapons not on privileged white people but on other black people.
Do you want that guy to get out sooner?
No.
No, not at all.
Not at all?
If you were Chinese, wouldn't you want some Chinese thug, murderist, rapist, whatever he is, to stay in longer?
As long as possible.
Apparently not.
So they're all lobbying to get their boys out sooner.
In any case, that is the great white north, north of the border, coming your way, folks.
We see the same pattern in the United States.
I just came across this crazy story that the black police chief of Norfolk, Virginia, It's a 44% white city, 42% black city.
He admitted that for the past 30 years their records show that blacks are responsible for 95% of non-fatal shootings.
Over 30 years!
Now 30 years ago Norfolk was about 65% white.
So you think about You do the math then and, you know, the white flight that's taken place.
Now, this is replicated nationwide.
Well, that's non-fatal shootings.
That's probably just because they're poor shots.
You know, if it comes to actual, you know, fatal shootings, what are the statistics?
Probably not all that different.
I'm sure you can find those statistics.
Yes.
No, I'm sure they're lopsided too.
But no, there's no question about it.
Blacks just seem to open up and just spray a place with bullets, not even very carefully.
But be that as it may.
No, it's remarkable.
But don't forget, all of this, all of this is the legacy of colonialism, slavery, and systemic racism.
Because that's what Judge Nakatsura says about Canada.
And of course, it's even more so true the United States.
So this same mindset that is in Canada, probably America's, what, five years behind of this type of... Well, you know, I do remember some years ago there was a Chinese guy who took a hammer and nearly ended the life of his wife because apparently his wife was stepping out on him.
And a judge ruled that he deserved a considerably lighter sentence than ordinary because it's particularly shameful for Chinese to be cuckolded.
This is a cultural explanation because the grief, the anger, the humiliation of having a wife That is sleeping around is so infuriating.
This was almost a justifiable crime of passion.
So now, I think that was a P. I don't know what the final outcome was, but there was a judge.
As I recall, it was a lady judge.
And you know, women are always right about sexual matters.
And that's how she ruled.
We have a loyal audience, so if any of our listeners can find the details of that case and let us know what happened, please do contact us.
I'd love to know.
That's a fascinating story, and a story that I must regret is not as fascinating.
It's just an example of The insanity that is found among sanctuary cities.
We have not yet left Canada.
Oh, I forgot.
This is the crazier part!
This is almost crazier.
It just fits in almost perfectly, however.
Now, the fact is the Vancouver Sun, which is in major circulation daily in Canada, it ran an op-ed.
It showed up in the Sunday newspaper, and it was titled, Ethnic Diversity Harms a Country's Social Trust and Economic Well-Being.
It was written by Mark Hecht, who teaches Human, Political, and Conservation Geography at Mount Royal University in Calgary.
Well, it was up briefly on the Vancouver Sun's website.
I'm sorry, it was in the Saturday print edition, and it was up briefly for Friday, but the website immediately jerked it.
Yes, it did.
But it went into paper, and perhaps those copies of the paper are going to be collector's items someday.
It was just so full of just, irrefutable common sense that it had to be pulled from public view.
Let me just quote a few lines from this by Brother Mark Hecht.
He wrote, The dogma of diversity, tolerance, and inclusion assumed that all members of the society wanted to be included as equal citizens.
Yet instead of diversity being a blessing, Many found that they've ended up with a lot of arrogant people living in their countries with no intention of letting go of their previous cultures, animosities, preferences, and pretensions.
He goes on to say people like to be around others who are the same as they.
Those overwhelmed by newcomers that are not like themselves Lose trust and soon move out.
And he goes on to say, it's pretty remarkable, we should say goodbye to diversity, tolerance, and inclusion if we wish to be a society that can rebuild the trust we used to have in one another and start accepting a new norm for immigration policy, namely compatibility, cohesion, and social trust.
Good, sensible stuff.
Can't argue with anything that he said.
No, can't argue.
And, of course, not one word about race.
Nope.
Not a word about race.
But, of course, he was accused of racism because as soon as you just jump the tracks even by a quarter of an inch, ooh, racism is the first thing that happens.
Well, As I say, it was pulled off the internet and The Sun's editor-in-chief, Harold Munro, apologized for the piece.
He said it did not meet the paper's journalistic standards.
And The Sun newspapers are reviewing its editorial process to find out how something like this could have possibly happened.
And this has been a big story in Canada.
You look up all the major news newspapers, they're all Tutting about this and wondering how could something so hateful have slipped through.
Apparently there was this outpouring of people in the newsroom at the Vancouver Sun saying this does not reflect our love of diversity and tolerance and this is all hateful and horrible.
And so they asked Jeffrey Dworkin Who is the director of the journalism program at the University of Toronto.
How could something like this possibly happen?
As if he would know.
Anyway, he said it's symptomatic of an industry that's being stretched too thin.
Not enough eyes looking at this.
He says sometimes some mistakes like this would used to hardly ever happen are now happening with greater frequency.
But the editor-in-chief, he did write that the Vancouver Sun is committed to promoting and celebrating diversity, tolerance, and inclusion.
Our vibrant community and nation are built on these important pillars.
And then he says, we are reviewing our local workflow and editorial process to ensure greater oversight and accountability so that this does not happen again.
Well, those important pillars are precisely why social disintegration is taking place.
Think back to 2001.
When Pat Buchanan's contract with MSNBC was not renewed and the One of the main producers or the head of the newsroom there basically said the ideas that he brings forth are no longer tolerable.
They're beyond the pale, basically.
That's right.
They are no longer open for discussion.
Precisely.
And that happened in Canada just last week.
I think we talked about the candidate for public office who had the billboards everywhere that said, stop mass immigration.
Yeah.
And that is something that cannot be said.
Certainly not publicly.
Oh, so, no, they are marching over the cliff in even more remarkable lockstep than we are and with greater determination.
But, you know, the very idea.
The book is closed on this subject and anyone who opens it is an insect.
Not just closed.
There is no book.
That's the thing.
They've taken the book and they've put it They put it into a bonfire and it's burned.
It's dust in the wind.
And if you dare try and find even just a speck that there was evidence that what's happening right now is wrong, you're a heretic.
And that's where the stake, the same fate of that book, that's your fate.
And then Mark Hecht, he apparently still has a job, but he said, I'm dismayed by the suppression of open and rational debate in this country.
But he has probably become a pariah at Mount Royal University, but in any case.
Yes, and we were going to move right back to Montgomery County, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, we got to come back to Montgomery County because we highlighted the fact that there had been four, it might have been five rapes.
In a prior podcast.
Well, guys, we're up to eight.
We're up to eight.
And these are by illegal immigrants, most of whom who've had detainer orders.
That's correct.
So, just briefly, this is the eighth illegal immigrant this year that has been charged with rape or another sexual crime in the county since July 25th.
I shouldn't just say this year, since July 25th.
So, in the past less than two months, there have been eight rapings in Montgomery County.
This time it was a Nigerian national who was charged for rape.
Oluwaka... Oli... Oliwakia?
Definitely not an Anglo name.
Oluwakayode... Odu... Busi... Busia?
Sounds good.
He's a 26-year-old man from Nigeria who allegedly raped an intoxicated woman in her car, ABC 7 News has reported.
Federal immigration authorities confirmed that he's an illegal alien.
He lives in Fairfax, Virginia.
But the rape occurred in Montgomery County.
He has a $250,000 bond held as he's in detention.
Now, on September 1st, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers lodged a tainter with the Montgomery County Detention Center on unlawfully present Nigerian national.
Addie Boussia, who was arrested on August 28th on local charges including rape.
So this is not the first time that he's been in trouble with the law for sex crimes.
He was charged with second degree assault, fourth degree sex offense, and false imprisonment a year ago in August of 2018.
And he's here illegally.
Prosecutors decided to drop the charges for unknown reasons.
And he's since worked as a ride share driver.
So I guess if you, since he's in Fairfax, I guess if you've ever taken a, if you've ever taken an Uber.
To one of the airports.
He might have driven you.
Look out, ladies.
But that's, again, a total of eight illegal aliens have now been arrested in Montgomery County since July 25th for sex crimes.
Well, that's what these sanctuary jurisdictions are all about.
Making the world safe for criminals.
What will it take for them to learn?
Speaking of criminals, you might recall last week we discussed how the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has decided unanimously to label the National Rifle Association a terrorist organization.
I remember.
Since we discussed this, the NRA has filed a lawsuit saying that this is libel.
Well, there's also been a Rasmussen report that came out.
Jared, our dear listeners, I'd like to talk to you about how Woke the left is getting.
We've talked about some of these polls that show how the left, how they've changed their opinion on illegal immigration in the past 25 years.
White liberals we're talking about are now in favor of illegal immigrants far beyond where they were in the Clinton years.
Well, this one even shocked me.
The latest Rasmussen report, which was a national telephone and online survey, finds that nearly 1 out of 3 likely Democrat voters, 32%, favor declaring the NRA a terrorist organization and the community where they live.
14% of Republicans Not affiliated with either party.
Also agree.
This is just mind-blowing. 28% now this is the one where it's like back up is
this actually what these people said. 28% of Democrats say Americans should be
prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organization like the NRA.
Now wait that's 28% of Americans of all Americans?
No, of Democrats.
28% of Americans.
They say Americans should be prohibited from belonging to gun-related organizations.
They say it should be against the law.
Go to jail, you'll be fine.
If you join the NRA or Gun Owners of America.
Well, man, they do believe in diversity and tolerance, don't they?
Among all likely voters, 23% favor declaring the NRA a terrorist organization in their home community.
What does in their home community mean, I wonder?
I guess that's where they live, so... Well, hmm.
A terrorist organization.
Well, I know, wouldn't the founders just, wouldn't they be proud of the country they created?
Now again, 32% of Democrats agree with the terrorist designation for the NRA that San Francisco... Well, you know, I think we are living in a kind of golden age Indian summer of gun rights.
Obviously.
They're not going to get any more free.
The only direction is down on this.
And the fact that here in Virginia, as I understand it, just about anybody without a criminal record who passes an online course in gun safety can get a concealed carry permit.
Well, Colorado used to have fantastic gun laws, and of course that changed when the Democrats took control of the state legislature.
We're seeing this same pattern emerge everywhere.
In Virginia, I believe I've read, where it's very close.
It's perilous if the Republicans couldn't lose control.
They could.
And the Democrats are trying very hard to end this regime of pretty liberal access to concealed carry.
It's a shall-issue state, unless you have some good reason not to issue a concealed carry permit.
You issue it.
And Virginia's been pretty good about that.
I looked up the other day.
There are about 16 million Americans who have concealed carry permits.
And that doesn't even include the states where no permit is required.
I think New Hampshire's one.
Missouri, New Hampshire.
Yeah.
Yes.
So, there are a lot of people, but I predict that certainly in 10 years, that's going to just be completely flipping.
Very few states that allow this, despite the fact that the statistics are very, very clear.
Concealed carry permit holders are vastly more law-abiding than anybody else.
Precisely.
Yes.
They've gone through us.
They're careful about it.
But I think, as I say, this is an Indian summer, and winter is setting in.
What's the common denominator for why all these states are going to be changing their gun laws?
Gun crime, statistically, which is vastly more likely to be committed by blacks than anybody else.
But it's the demographic changes within the constituency.
There's a great piece at AmRen that I encourage all of our listeners to go read.
It's by Gregory Hood.
Stacey Abrams is bragging about how The Great Replacement is about to flip Georgia permanently blue.
That's right, that's right.
When we talk about it, it's paranoia, it's conspiracy theory.
When they talk about it, it's triumphalism.
It is?
So, no, it's a great piece by the inimitable Gregory Hood.
And now, if I can move on to just a brief report about the border wall.
Just on Monday, there was a press briefing by the Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, Mark Morgan, and he said that the administration has put up 65 miles of border wall.
Now, he talks, he made an interesting distinction here.
He talks about new wall, and then he talks about new linear miles.
New wall is basically replacement.
And what that amounts to is that with the help of $3.6 billion in wall funding that was pulled from the Pentagon and other executive actions taken by the president, the administration expects to complete as many as 500 miles of what it calls new border wall by the end of 2020.
But that's just replacing old stuff that was not very effective at stopping border hoppers.
The new stuff is based in concrete.
It's 30 feet high.
And it really is pretty doggone effective.
It's what we thought we were getting when we voted for Trump.
That's what we thought we were getting.
And we're going to get 500 miles of rehabilitated wall.
But then, as Mark Morgan of Customs and Border Protection explains, the trouble with new wall, new linear wall, as he calls it, it's more difficult, much more difficult, because in most cases the administration has to buy the land.
Which, and as you can imagine, all people are putting up all sorts of terrible problems.
But that's the report so far.
We've had 65 miles of rehabilitated wall, and the administration expects to have completed about 500 miles of rehabilitation by the end of 2020.
And if we're lucky, we could get maybe 100 new miles, 100 miles of new linear, new linear miles of wall.
So that's the current update.
And a positive one.
Yes, yes, yes.
I'm very glad to see that.
Very glad to see that.
But following up on the whole Stacey Abrams question and the gloating, I guess she's right.
You know, demographics are a destiny.
They are.
Well, I'll tell you, there was a very important piece in the Washington Post, an op-ed by Jonathan Capehart that was published on September 10th, and it detailed the extreme role that black women play in flipping Elections in states and cities where there are large percentages of blacks.
And of course, I'm talking about in Virginia.
Get this.
Northam got 87% of the black vote in Virginia in the governor's race.
I'm surprised it was only 87%.
I agree, but he got 91% of black women.
And I believe Virginia, maybe about 21% black.
So that's a substantial amount of the electorate right there that you're getting almost guaranteed.
Same thing with Doug Jones.
You go back to that contentious Election in Alabama that Doug Jones barely won.
You think about all the negative publicity that the Republican, the former Supreme Court Justice of that state faced.
Still, without that media onslaught, it was black women who propelled Doug Jones, who was unable to win with 96% Of the black vote in Alabama.
98% of black.
Of the black female vote.
No, no, no.
98% of black female.
Only 96% of the black vote.
Well, that means, I guess, assuming they vote in equal proportions, 94% of black men!
Exactly!
You do the math, exactly.
So what Capehart in this piece is highlighting is the power of the sister vote.
It was a survey of African-American women published by Essence Magazine in conjunction with the Black Women's Roundtable.
And this was showing the black female support for President Trump.
We've seen a lot of effort I can't think of her name.
She's the female who's doing the Blexit stuff.
You don't have to vote.
She's part of Turning Point USA.
Yes, yes, yes.
Her name escapes me.
I know.
I can't remember her name.
It's alright.
The point is, her work, all the money that's being funneled her way, it's not turning out to be successful.
Because get this.
The survey shows 1% of the 1,068 African-American women who were surveyed said they would vote for the president if the election were held today.
Just 1%.
1%?
1% President Trump support of African-American women.
But, Capehart sheepishly, puckishly, I guess puckish is a better term, triumphantly notes, Trump's support jumps to 2.3% among black women ages 18 to 34.
Jumps, leaps, skyrockets, spikes to 2.3%!
Oh boy.
So the main thrust of the point, and this is one thing that I think is important moving forward, I know that everyone has apprehension about Trump and some of the spectacular failures and the promises that we've seen him make prior to the election and once he became president it's been kind of three years of Come on, do something.
Do something that we elected you for.
Well, this article notes that Democrats shouldn't worry about the unicorn of the white working class anymore.
Just write them off.
Well, that's right.
He says double down and get as much of the black support as you can in these states.
Just don't worry about the white working class.
And of course, the Republican Party has done absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing to try and court this disenfranchised group that basically has no party to support them at all.
Yeah, it was Candace Owens, the name we couldn't think of.
She gets so much press.
I know.
So much press.
So much money is thrown their way.
Turning Point USA and all they have to show for it?
Well, nothing, according to this poll.
1%?
Skyrocketing to 2.5% in younger black women?
No, I'll make a bold prediction here for 2020.
There's not going to be a Blexit next year.
Sorry, folks.
You know, why is it conservatives are always rolling out the next shiny, new, well-oiled plan, and we're going to get 7% of the black vote?
Whereas they make no effort whatsoever to cultivate their obvious base, which is white voters.
Hey, that's all you have to do in a state like Virginia that's still about 64% white.
All you have to do is, hey, guess what?
Increase the white vote.
Yes.
That's the only reason Brian Kemp is governor of Georgia, because whites turned out in shocking numbers for him.
That's right.
A half a percent.
Increase the turnout by half a percent.
One percent.
Hey, make a real effort.
Try two percent.
But no.
They're just too stupid to do it.
And moving on to stupidity of a different kind.
Apparently there are nooses just popping up everywhere.
Or alleged nooses.
These days it seems like any rope with a loop in it.
That's a noose!
A hangman's noose is a very specific thing.
Your shoelaces, I bet.
Do you have shoes on?
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
No, no.
If you do, no.
Hey, put your shoes on, Taylor.
You're in the city now.
Come on.
Now, the fact is, at the U.S.
Naval Academy, a rope with a loop at the end was found hanging in a construction area.
It was found on August 28th, and a caucus of African-American leaders and advocacy group in Annapolis, which is where the Naval Academy is located, was alerted anonymously about this.
Somebody sent a photograph of this dangerous alleged noose.
Close the school.
And so they had to uh just uh they raised an enormous stink there was an there was a uh investigation far and wide far and wide and what they finally decided was that these this were ropes that were being used to install ductwork in an area where this suspicious rope had been found.
Now the photograph was taken on August 28th.
By the time the gumshoes showed up, of course, the rope was long gone.
But the fact that it was there, the mere fact that it was there, even briefly, because, and you see the other thing that the black leaders said that this August 28th day, do you know what August 28th is the 56th anniversary of?
I don't.
Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech.
Okay.
And so the fact that it was found on that day is obviously, obviously a deep insult.
A lot of symbolism, I guess.
A lot of symbolism.
So these hate mongers have a real sense of history.
They know exactly how to twist the tail of the black community because they chose the 56th anniversary of Martin Luther King's famous speech.
But yes, they were using, probably they were using this loop to raise ducks to work.
They had ropes and pulleys all over the place.
Anyway, the Naval Academy was in a fearful tizzy.
Now, at the other end of the country, in Chabot Elementary School in Oakland, California, in the same week a rope resembling a noose was found hanging from the front fence of Chabot Elementary School.
Police were called, and then according to district spokesman, and I'm quoting him, a family contacted our police department and told us their child had found a rope and just threw it over the fence.
But this is a fearful noose, a fear-inspiring noose.
And the police, of course, had to be called in.
But then, now this is where it gets really menacing, really ominous.
A few days later, a school staff member found another rope, and this one was tied at the top of baseball batting cages.
Now, these sit above the school, visible from the school, on city property.
Now, school went up there and cut this rope down immediately and contacted the FBI this time.
Oh yes, the FBI, which has never got anything better to do than sniff out these hateful ropes.
The FBI investigated both cases, and they decided that neither was a hate crime.
And the FBI says, guess what this rope, which apparently didn't have a loop on it, tied from the top, it's got a loop on it, It was tied up there because teenagers like to climb up the top of these batting cages where they get a nice view and they can hang out and sit and probably smoke a little reefer.
So it's used as support to be able to pull themselves up?
It's to pull themselves up because it's fairly high, these batting cages, and it can pull themselves up to the roof where they hang out.
And then they can put their foot into it if it's got the loop.
They can put their foot in it as leverage to then lift themselves up.
That makes perfect sense.
But after all, All the parents said that whatever the intention, the discovery of anything that appears to be a noose harms the community.
So we mobilized the police and the FBI to snuff out this harm.
By the way, what is a batting cage?
You know, you're a sports fan.
A batting cage is where a baseball player will go and they'll practice hitting so that they don't have to then chase balls.
All around the outfield.
So there'll be a pitching machine.
They'll stand in the batter's box.
Or a pitcher will throw pitches and they'll be protected by some sort of screen usually.
But primarily it's a mechanical pitcher will throw pitches and you'll just be able to hit and then that way all the balls are in a self-contained area as opposed to having to have outfielders and infielders.
I knew you would know.
They're a lot of fun.
I bet they're fun.
You know, I kind of probably enjoy that myself.
But anyway, all the world's a noose if you've got nooses on the mind.
But then we have another story, another sad story, I'm afraid.
And this has to do with diseases that are re-emerging in some parts of America.
Which the communities have not seen since the Middle Ages, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Now, I don't think there were too many white people around in the Middle Ages, and I don't think there were people taking medical records since the Middle Ages, but they haven't been in Europe since the Middle Ages.
One of these is typhus.
This is, of course, a disease that's carried by fleas.
The fleas prey on the rats, which in turn feed on garbage and sewage.
And this is the stuff that is available in great profusion in people-packed typhus zones, which is the name that's been given to Skid Row.
And we're talking, of course, about Los Angeles.
So when Jared talked about, obviously, there were white people in the Middle Ages, there just weren't white people in Los Angeles.
And what is now Los Angeles.
That's right.
There aren't too many white people in Los Angeles now, actually.
Yeah, not very many, not very many.
And it can be treated with antibiotics.
But the challenge, of course, is to identify who's got the disease and treat it in these what are called hard to access populations.
These are bums.
And also, the problem is, these are third-world diseases in extremely poor, underdeveloped countries.
But, and this is when typhus really got the big news in Los Angeles County, was when an employee at City Hall came down with typhus last year.
Then there was, needless to say, a big expensive effort to clean out the building, try to exterminate all the rats.
But the problem is all of these bums living packed together in filthy conditions that give us these medieval diseases.
And also, you know, some of these stories come with photographs of just Astonishing mountains of garbage.
You see these rows of tents full of bums and you see mountains of garbage all around them.
These are the conditions under which people live in places like Haiti and if you live that way you're going to get third world disease in the United States too.
Now, there is yet another disease that is likely to break out in places like that, and that is leprosy.
Now, there are more than 200,000 new cases of leprosy reported in the world, with two-thirds of them, interestingly enough, in India.
And it is the poor that are likely to get it the most, but in the United States there are between 100 and 200 new cases of leprosy reported every year.
And a study that was just released by the University of Southern California looked at 187 leprosy patients treated at its clinic between 1973 and 2018, found that most of the patients were Hispanic originating from Mexico.
And it is in Central America and South America where they get 20,000 new cases a year.
And some of course drift north.
But this is a disease that is contagious.
And when you get these homeless populations living in close proximity with inadequate hygiene and medical conditions and medical treatment, then you can get leprosy.
You can catch leprosy here in the United States.
I can just imagine an outbreak of leprosy on Skid Row in Los Angeles.
Just imagine what sort of whooping and shouting and screaming that would produce, but it's entirely possible.
You know, the only time I can think of leprosy, even encountering it in books, from the Bible, but in Ben-Hur, when Ben-Hur's family, in that fantasy, where they are in a colony of leopards.
Yeah.
Well, I've actually been to leper colonies myself.
Perhaps that's a story from another time.
I spent quite an astonishing full day at a leper colony in Japan.
And when I was traveling in West Africa, I met quite a few lepers.
And many of them are in such advanced cases that they've lost hands.
When it gets advanced, it just eats away your flesh.
And I tell you, it is remarkable to talk to a man with basically no face from the nose down.
You can see his teeth, you can see his tongue moving around in his mouth as he talks.
Almost a living cadaver, as contradicting as that sounds.
Yeah, it can be an absolutely horrible, disfiguring disease.
And so it could break out in one of these skid rows anywhere in the country where people are packed together in filthy conditions.
Very sorry to say.
So you have the Hungarian government trying to figure out ways to increase fertility among their people where our government is refusing to do one of the basic necessities of a local
government and that is provide sanitation, clean roads, clean water, infrastructure. None of this is a
right. The left will tell you, oh, these are human rights. No, no, no, no, no. Obviously,
those rights are non-existent there and someone has to pick the trash up.
Somebody has to, as you said, take care of the rat population with pest control.
If not, this is the natural state of humans.
That's right.
And this is the state of people who live where the per capita income is $500 a day.
And if we reproduce those conditions, we reproduce those diseases, and we reproduce those conditions if we bring those people.
Hard to understand.
But hard to understand for some people.
But now you had a little good news story that we're gonna come approaching the end of the program.
Give us a good news story.
Well I've got a great news story actually and it is one of those stories that showcases how the hubris of the left and especially of illegal immigrants and In this case, we had a legal alien who had been in the country for 20 years from Guatemala, living in the Houston area.
This guy decided he was going to... his name is Roland Gramaggio.
He's a 40-year-old.
He decided to organize a community meeting in southwest Houston, Texas, basically because this came after President Trump was going to order one of those ICE raids in July and August that he talked so much about.
And it riled up the community, which is what the Houston Chronicle reported.
So they were going to have a community event where he said, hey, we'd like to have ICE show up so we can have our community, you know, express their grief, their concerns at you coming into our communities and daring to arrest us and deport us.
Well, pretty pretty doggone ballsy if you ask me.
this father of five and revered member of the community.
Guess what's happened?
He's been detained by ICE.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, after just weeks of being invited to this community meeting,
they've gone ahead and they've arrested him.
So he was arrested near his home and is facing deportation for the second time.
He was deported years ago.
Of course, he came back and he's been living here unmolested by the government, by ICE,
by any officials for 18 years.
That's just it.
They talk about these people hovering in the shadows, you know, terrified.
These people aren't in the shadows.
They're living wide.
They're living bold.
This to me is just great.
He actually invites ICE.
He probably thought he'd get away.
He was absolutely confident he'd get away with it.
He's never gotten away with everything so far.
And I didn't realize he'd been deported once before.
Well, get this, he first came to the U.S.
Maybe the third time is going to be the charm.
Just like some of those 9-11 hijackers, he came to the U.S.
in 1994 and outstayed his tourist visa.
In 1998, he pled guilty to burglary charges, which his friends say were a practical joke, and they wanted to drop the charges.
It spun out of control.
So the case went ahead anyway, and he was deported in 2004.
But he crossed back months later, because there's no wall.
You know, you had Jorge W. Bush as president then.
Everyone's attention was focused on these pointless Mideast wars, and without documents, Gramaggio has become a, quote, pillar of the community since 2000.
A pillar of the community.
And he's lived for 15 years until ICE decided, hey buddy, thanks for the invitation, you're gonna be deported now.
So I consider that a great news story.
Oh, that's a wonderful story.
Let's hope they actually go through with it.
Well, we'll finish off with a little local color.
This is from Salt Lake City, and it has to do with a Utah couple that is a fanatical soccer fan.
Apparently, there is a major league soccer team called Real Salt Lake, and at their home games, this couple by the name of Randolph and Diana Scott, they have season tickets, and they used to wave big American flags.
Well, they waved them so hard, and they waved them so long, they got worn out.
And so the wife decided to buy a replacement flag.
And so they swapped out the 50 stars for the Betsy Ross flag with 13 stars.
They said, oh, this is a neat new model.
And so they started waving that.
But this caused controversy.
And the people, the guard, the people who guard, who provide security for the stadium, they come up and said, look, if you don't take down that flag, we're going to kick you out.
The Betsy Ross flag, they said, is no doggone good because, and this is an official statement, any controversial flags or other similar banners or signs with symbols of hatred, divisiveness, and intolerance, whether intentional or otherwise, Will not be permitted in our stadium.
So even if they don't intend it to be divisive, the people who run the stadium for Real Salt Lake team have decided the Betsy Ross flag is hateful and it's got to go.
Now this is the line that particularly intrigued me.
They say, at Real Salt Lake, It's our mission to unify our community through soccer, and we promote inclusion, diversity, and acceptance, but not the Betsy Ross flag.
We won't include that.
We don't accept that kind of diversity, and we will not accept the Betsy Ross flag.
I mean, do these people have any idea?
They don't seem to have any sense of irony about this.
You know, the American flag is not long for this country.
No, no.
I've got to get rid of that, for heaven's sake.
Absolutely.
And this reminds me, I think I've told you this story before, and I believe it was at some place it had a Kappa Alpha fraternity.
And Kappa Alpha was a Southern Pride... A.K.A.
Robert E. Lee was a member of K.A.
Robert E. Lee was a member.
They at least at one time revered Robert E. Lee.
Maybe they sort of keep him locked up in a closet these days.
But they used to have a Confederate ball at this university.
And this might have been Auburn.
I'm not sure.
But in any case, they had a Confederate ball every year.
But the black student union just snorted and wailed and harumphed and screamed and they got the administration to cancel the confederate ball, no more confederate balls, and the head of the black student union said, now this will teach these Kappa Alpha people tolerance and diversity.
That's all it's about.
It's a lecture.
It's a monologue.
See, it's not about tolerating anything.
It's not about being diverse about anything.
It's about doing what non-whites want.
That's what it boils down to.
Tolerance and diversity is just another word for an attack on anything that expresses anything that's white.
I thought, good grief, does this woman really, does she even understand the word she's using?
This will teach them tolerance and diversity.
Well, so, I'm very glad that our listeners have tolerated us, and we hope to be diverse, and we hope to speak to you next week, but... Well, we will talk to you next week.
Real quick, if you have questions, we'll get to them next week.
