Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, and boys and girls, welcome to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is the indispensable Paul Kersey.
Always glad to have you with us, Mr. Kersey.
Well, we're also glad to have boys and girls and children of all ages as you started off there for what is 152.
Episode 152, for those keeping score at home.
Yes, indeed.
We're going to start with the Graduate Record Examination, which is apparently falling out of favor in many elite universities around the country.
Brown University announced just last Friday that entrance to 24 of its graduate programs, that's a very significant number, will no longer require the Graduate Record Examination, the GRE, which is the equivalent of the SAT, for getting into graduate school.
Princeton last month announced that 14 of its departments have dropped the GRE as a requirement as well.
But back to Brown University, the departments that are dropping it include, as one would expect, the so-called humanities, but English, French, German studies, history, that sort of thing, but also some of the sciences.
That surprised me a little bit.
Usually the science types are a little bit more hard-headed about these things, but Biotech, biomedical engineering, chemistry, computer science, all these things have decided that you don't need to do well on the GRE.
Other universities have likewise, selectively by department, decided that the GRE is not necessary.
In the last two years, the history department at Yale, the English departments at Cornell and Harvard, the philosophy department at the University of Pennsylvania, they've all dropped the GRE.
And dozens of biology and biomedical research departments at many different universities have done the same.
Why do you think they're doing that, Mr. Kersey?
It might have something to do with white privilege?
Well, there's Asian privilege too apparently.
Yes, white people and Asians just unaccountably do so much better than blacks and Latinos when they take the test.
And, as the Dean of the Graduate School at Brown, Andrew G. Campbell explained, this change, and I quote, will broaden the talent pool of students who apply to and have access to graduate education at Brown.
It will broaden the talent pool.
Now, surprisingly, David Payne, who's the Vice President of the Educational Testing Service, he came out with a pretty good point.
He said, the argument that meeting diversity and completion goals, because these diverse types don't finish their programs as well either, but the idea that meeting these goals can be done with less information than admissions faculty and committees already have, is flawed.
Excellent point.
You want to know less about these people?
Apparently you do.
Because the more you know about them, the more you know that they're not as likely to do well, so you want to know less about them.
Well, the more stereotypes are... confirmed?
Pattern recognition sets in?
That's right.
We can't have that.
We can't have that.
But so that's right, because the favored non-whites, because Asians are increasingly among the disfavored non-whites.
This will lead to interesting frictions down the road, I'm sure.
But because they're not making it in, they're going to abolish the GRE.
That's always the rule, isn't it?
Shoot the messenger if the messenger brings bad news.
And we have another sign of things to come.
This from one of my favorite Congresswomen, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat, needless to say, of New York.
She is all exercised about the number of people who are in jail, and recently she tweeted the following.
Mass incarceration is our American reality.
It is a system whose logic evolved from the same lineage as Jim Crow, American apartheid, and slavery.
We need to have a real conversation about decarceration and prison abolition in this country.
Prison abolition.
Well, we abolished slavery, might as well abolish prisons too.
But the whole idea that the fact that blacks are in prison at greater rates, as it turns out, they're about seven times more likely to be in prison than non-blacks, The logic of this, as she explains, from Jim Crow, American Apartheid, and slavery.
So she goes on to explain that a cage is a cage, and humans don't belong in them, she said.
Cage is a cage, and humans don't belong in them.
Of course, these days, prisons are hardly cages.
They've got basketball courts, they've got weightlifting rooms, and they're hardly cages.
But she's going to let them all out, apparently.
And, as I understand it, prison abolition, as it's called, that's one of the new lefty buzzwords, you know, we're going to abolish prisons, just like we abolished slavery.
And it's very popular with the international far left, which calls for, and I quote again, deep structural reforms to how we handle and even think about crime.
Now, what the international far left, and the international far left is increasingly influencing the American far left, they want restorative justice.
And likewise, social welfare programs meant to target the root causes of crime.
Now, have we never heard before this stuff about root causes of crime?
Oh, well this was huge back in the 60s and 70s, which set in course the motion that, you know, obviously, thankfully it was uprooted rather violently with, who was it, Broken Windows Policing, was that James Wilson?
Well, EOE, James Q. Wilson.
James Q. Wilson, correct.
Which Rudy Giuliani showed how effective that is by bringing New York City back for the brink.
But the idea that, you know, we're going to solve crime, we're going to stop criminals by somehow going right to the cradle.
I mean, this is really when you get right down to it.
Head Start was partly about this.
We're going to teach them math and teach them how to read so they won't be criminals.
They'll do better in school.
But the idea that they think they're being original by talking about eliminating the root causes of crime.
In any case, this is the latest buzzword and the Democratic Socialists of America, of whom Ms.
Ocasio-Cortez is a member, passed a resolution at its 2019 convention establishing what they call the Prison Abolition Working Group.
I really wonder, do they genuinely believe that they can change society to the extent that we can just throw all the prisons away?
Turn them into what?
Well, re-education camps for wicked white people like you and me?
Yes!
I actually believe that, yes.
I mean, look at it this way.
We're not going to talk about the movie, I just want to briefly point out, Jared and I have talked about red flag laws a lot.
Do you know that yet another person lost access to their firearms in the state of Washington recently?
Who might that have been?
Somebody who posted about the Joker movie and made some comments about the Joker and the red flag laws were used because as obviously this movie is about white resentment which is obviously fueling the character the eponymous the eponymous character's name in the movie and lo and behold yet again red flag laws were actually used Against him, to have his firearms taken away.
And that's where this is all going.
It is about criminalizing whiteness.
Yes, they'll find something to do with these prisons once they're running the show.
But now, this happened in Seattle, did you say?
This happened in the state of Washington.
I don't recall which city, but Washington is one of the states that does have Well, Washington's got other problems to understand about.
Well, Washington's got a lot of problems.
And, you know, you might, for those astute listeners, you might remember that we talked about King County, which is where Seattle's located.
The female police chief, the sheriff, the police chief of that county basically said they're no longer going to work with ICE.
We talked about this a couple weeks ago.
Well, get this.
The Pacific Northwest.
Let's have some fun here.
On October 7th, ICE Public Affairs Officer Tanya Roman sent out an email stating that Carlos Daniel Carrillo Lopez had age 19, he was accused of murder, he's a citizen of Guatemala, in the United States illegally.
He came as a youngster, was resettled.
Carrillo Lopez is known associate of Crossroads Locos 13.
He came as an unaccompanied child, so somehow he ends up in Washington.
I guess somehow he just wanted to go up and see rain.
I don't know.
But on October 15, 2015, U.S.
Border Patrol encountered and arrested Carrillo Lopez as an unaccompanied child near Saas Bay, Arizona, and issued him a notice to appear the following day.
He was then transferred to custody to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and guess what?
He was released on an order of recognizance to a sponsor in Texas.
About a month later, on March 15, 2019, somehow he's now in Washington.
Bellevue Police Department arrested Mr. Lopez on local charges and booked him in the South Correctional Entity Jail, SCORE.
On March 18, 2019, ICE encountered Karila Lopez at SCORE and lodged a detainer.
Well, guess what?
SCORE, the local jurisdiction, released Lopez on an unknown date without notifying ICE.
Because as we've said, this is a sanctuary county.
That's their policy, yes.
April 4th, 2019, Bellevue Police Department again arrests Mr. Lopez for a local charge and book him into SCORE.
And this is a guy that could have been taken completely off their hands.
If they just turn him over.
Exactly.
A, he was an unaccompanied minor back in 2015 during Obama's presidency.
Now we're talking four years later, somehow this dude's in Washington.
Texas from Washington, that's a long distance this guy traveled.
So, on April 4th, he's arrested again, booked into score, ICE encounters him on the same day, and guess what?
They lodge a detainer again.
Score released him again on an unknown date without notifying ICE.
That's happened now twice in the span of a month.
Just 14 days later, the police department there in Bellevue arrest him again for various local charges and book him into score.
ICE encounters him a day later.
They lodge a detainer.
Again, He's released on an unknown date without notifying ICE.
So he's been arrested three times in the span of a month.
On June 9th, 2019, he's arrested again on local charges.
I don't think I need to go and read what happens.
ICE lodges a detainer.
He's released without notifying ICE.
Well, guess what happens again?
On September 30th, King County Sheriff's Office arrests Lopez for robbery and homicide.
ICE has lodged another detainer and this is what the spokesperson said about this situation.
Quote, this is yet again another example of sanctuary policies shielding criminal aliens who prey on people in their own and other communities from immigration enforcement. As Correa
Lopez's crimes increased in severity, local officials chose to release him time and time again
over immigration detainers that could have taken him off the streets. And out of the
country, presumably.
Out of the country.
I mean, first of all, this dude should have been taken out of the country back in 2015.
But he was allowed to linger to loiter as an illegal alien.
And as we know, this is the type of person that I don't like calling her AOC.
I'll just call her Ocasio-Cortez.
She's definitely not one of my favorites.
Oh, she's my all-time favorite.
Well, she's important because she is the face of the future.
That white Americans now have the opportunity to see what it's going to be like living under a tyrannical system where whiteness is criminalized.
The past is used to justify present actions taken against us.
Well, a distorted and inaccurate, completely false version of the past.
Which we'll get into.
This is a very special episode, ladies and gentlemen.
Jared and I don't thank you enough for listening to all these podcasts.
We thank each and every one of you.
But again, the story that we're talking about here in regards to King County, every county, as we say over and over again in the United States, whether it's in Maine, whether it's in Georgia, whether it's in Illinois, whether it's in Washington, We're all border counties now.
Oh, of course.
They get around.
They definitely get around.
And the local jurisdiction, the police in these areas, are shielding and protecting illegal alien criminals from allowing ICE to do their job.
Again, I mean, I say this every time one of these stories comes up.
How many people have to get killed?
How many people have to be raped by folks who shouldn't be in the country and who probably wouldn't be in the country if they just handed the guy over to ICE?
The idea that you've got a criminal in a local area, wouldn't you, by any logical person, say, wow, the feds are going to take this guy completely off our hands?
Hooray!
Isn't that the obvious thing?
How is that objectionable?
Exactly.
Why is that wrong?
It's objectionable because this is some poor huddled mass yearning to be free, wretched refugees from their foreign shores.
We get to treat them better than we treat our own people.
I just don't understand it.
But that is the story we get over and over and over again.
And moving on to yet another attempt to change America in ways that the vast majority of Americans do not want.
We are back with Julián Castro.
Julián Castro.
He's in the news because we have down in the stay in Mexico procedure, when folks come up and they think they're going to apply for asylum in the United States, we have, and I thank our president for this, and I thank the Mexicans for this, they stay in Mexico while their applications for asylum are being considered.
And it turns out that we have some LGBTQ asylum seekers.
They say they are discriminated against in the shelters in which they live, and they've even been attacked by Mexicans, because the Mexicans apparently do not have typically... well, they don't have approvedly North American views towards LGBTQ people.
So, the same people, now this is a lesbian lady who was quoted in one of the articles I was reading.
The same people who are living with us discriminate against us, she says, because they've got other asylum seekers that they're being kept with.
And so, Julian Castro is calling for such asylum seekers to be let into the United States.
While their hearings are held and they can stay with relatives or friends or, you know, doesn't make any difference where they stay.
They need to be let in.
So what did he do?
He crossed the border to Matamoros, Mexico and he rounded up eight gay and lesbian asylum seekers and a deaf woman, just to kind of keep things diverse, and her three relatives.
It's not indicated whether or not they themselves are deaf.
But this little band of merry folk, gay folk I suppose I should say, they crossed the bridge from Mexico into Texas and he walked with them and their lawyers and they showed up at Customs and Border Protection and they said we need to let these guys in.
And apparently Customs and Border Protection let them in and said okay we'll process them within the United States.
So this was celebrated as a huge victory!
Well, apparently after Castro and his pal and the lawyers left, they just sent him back to Mexico.
So this was a great disappointment to Julian Castro and to the people back in the shelter, as one of the lesbian Cubans said.
And I think this is very interesting.
She said, I thought this would end and that we would have an opportunity to be free.
But I realize this wasn't the case.
Now, what was she going to get?
Her opportunity to be free was nothing more than to be released into the United States.
And that in her mind, unfortunately, all too accurately, was going to be an opportunity to be free.
Well, she has an army of lawyers and advocates prepared to help her find ways to make her stay in the United States free, courtesy of the United States taxpayer.
Yes, she sure does.
Well, despite antics of this kind, and perhaps because of antics of this kind, Julian Castro is polling at only 1%, so I suspect he will not be either the Democratic nominee or the President of the United States, but he's sure trying hard.
Well he can go back to being, I think he was at one point the...
I believe that he was at one point the mayor of San Antonio, which is largely a ceremonial position.
That was his claim to fame.
It's a city that's actually run by the city planner.
And he tried to say, oh, I'm the mayor of one of Texas's biggest cities.
But I can't believe he's actually polling at 1%.
Is that the same percentage that Robert Francis O'Rourke is polling at?
I'm pulling out.
You might be for the Democrat.
Well, get this.
The Center for Immigration Studies has come out with a fantastic new study, an alarming new study, that puts into focus what the Affordable Care Act subsidies for illegal immigrants could cost the United States taxpayer if one of the Democrat candidates for president actually ...is elected into office in 2018 and upon taking the oath is able to get their platform enacted.
It could cost 10 to 23 billion dollars a year to the United States taxpayers because Democrats, I believe they've all raised their hand and stated that they've endorsed providing health insurance to illegal immigrants.
Every one of them, every one of them raised their hands.
I think that was while there were still about 20 of them.
There were, there were.
Yes, some of the candidates, one of the Senators, Gillibrand, the Senator from New York was still around.
I can't remember some of the other ones that were still around.
Even all the also around.
Yeah, they all raised their hand.
Not one of them objected to such a benevolent, magnanimous gesture on the part of the U.S.
taxpayer.
So this analysis estimates the cost of providing illegal immigrants access to the existing system of government's health benefits for low-income people.
So what they did is CIS estimated that there are 4.9 million uninsured illegal
immigrants with incomes low enough to qualify for Medicaid or advanced premium tax credits, APTC,
which are subsidies provided by the Affordable Care Act. So what they found is they
estimate that, like I said, 4.9 million.
I bet they're more than that.
Yeah, exactly.
So they've got a low threshold.
But assuming a realistic enrollment rate, the cost of providing ACA subsidies to illegal immigrants, the aforementioned number, would be about $10 billion per year, with costs rising to as much as $23 billion per year.
If all eligible illegal immigrants enrolled.
And you will be certain that if they change the rules that way, there will be advertisements in every language under the sun on public announcement radio saying that you can enroll, so please do so.
They'll do their best to get them all in.
And one of the things that the CIS study distinctly mentions, quote, we do not attempt to estimate indirect or second level costs, such as the possibility that offering government health benefits could incentivize more illegal immigration, end quote.
So not to steal your thunder, but to accentuate the point that you made.
You know, Trump's made some mistakes, obviously, but the Democrats have already made it a priority to give illegal immigrants healthcare as one of the Primary platforms heading into this upcoming election cycle, so do with that what you may.
Yep, yep, that's quite charming.
But then, let's see, I believe... You're going to lower the axe?
I'm going to lower the axe, lower the boom, and lower the tomahawk.
Last night the Atlanta Braves were bounced from the NCLS.
Obviously we're talking a little baseball.
I know that Mr. Taylor not a fan of talking about pro sports unless we're talking
about declining ratings which is happening happening across the board but
the Braves played the st. Louis Cardinals and in a game prior to the game
five there is a member of the st. Louis Cardinals pitching staff he claims to be
of Cherokee descent you look at a picture of him some of them he actually has
blonde hair light brownish hair he looks quite Caucasian he's maybe 1 4th Cherokee his
mother looks much more Cherokee than he but he he was a little upset he he
said that he was offended and that the chant the Tomahawk chop the Braves
they do the Tomahawk chop because back in 1991 Deion Sanders who played for Florida
State Seminoles in college he was traded to the Braves
So the fans of the Atlanta Braves started doing the Tomahawk Chop to try and rally the team.
And they'll pipe in the Florida State University bands.
It's a really cool song.
I actually encourage our listeners to stop for a second and to go on YouTube and type in the Tomahawk Chop and just listen to this chant.
It is quite intimidating.
Before the Florida State Seminoles football game, what will happen is Chief Osceola, the mascot of the Seminoles, he'll run out on this white horse, majestic white horse, and he'll have a flaming arrow in his hand, a spear, a spear, a flaming spear, and he'll spike it into the stadium, a 50-yard line.
It's intimidating, it's loud, but the Braves, so what the Braves do is they just do the tomahawk chop, and they'll pass out these phone tomahawks.
And that's what fans will do the whole game.
It's incessant.
It's constant.
It's continuous.
They're waving these full tomahawks.
They're moving their arm up and down.
So, before the game, before this pivotal Game 5, the winner would move on to the Best of Seven Series to see who would go to the World Series to represent the National League.
The Braves stated that they're going to take several efforts to reduce the tomahawk chop during the game.
Which of course have been called insulting by this Cardinals reliever.
His name is Ryan Helsley.
Great Cherokee sounding name there.
So they did.
They agreed to not play the accompanying music or use chop related graphics when Ryan Helsley was in the game.
Well guess what happened?
Guess what happened?
Well didn't they lose by lopsided score?
In the top of the first inning, the game was in Atlanta, so the Cardinals bat first, they scored a record 10 runs!
So the Braves fans really had no need to chop the rest of the game.
The game, the score ended 13-1, a resounding defeat, but you had the situation where the day prior the Braves agreed, yeah, we're not going to let the team do the chop, although, what, they've been doing it for 28 years?
I mean, you know, this is also the first season, Mr. Taylor, that the Cleveland Indians abandon the Chief Wahoo logo.
They used to have that fantastic mascot.
You know, this is happening all across the country.
Of course, you know, you and I, when we think about this, You know, white people are probably the only people on the planet, maybe the Japanese as well, who will glorify their foes.
And, you know, we've named the Apache helicopter, all the mascots nationwide.
We have a Black Hawk helicopter.
Correct, yeah.
But now, of course, this all has to go.
Well, I assume that this Chief Osceola, this is the Florida Seminoles?
Correct.
When he marches out, he comes galloping out on a black horse, I suppose.
I guess we're all supposed to be thinking that we let him do that because we just hate Indians, right?
Isn't that supposed to be an expression of contempt for Indians?
I mean, that's just so crazy.
Obviously, he is an expression of power, of intimidate the enemy, of bravery.
Of a prideful people.
When you ever go to Tallahassee, which I don't think many people have a reason to go to the state capital of Florida, but there is a magnificent statue of actual Chief Osceola in front of the stadium.
And it is intimidating.
It is a magnificent, beautiful statue that I'm sure As we continue to lose more and more ground of our heritage on this continent and you know,
It might stand because I guess there was a number of battles where the Seminoles trounced white colonizers, so maybe they can celebrate it that way, but I could see the statue being removed at some point because it's... I don't know what term the left will come up with, the anti-white left.
They would have some explanation for how it's demeaning and insulting and it's cultural appropriation.
Of course, once they take over the country, then it won't be cultural appropriation anymore, will it?
I don't know.
But the idea that we are somehow insulting them, somehow making fun of them, or cheapening their heritage by admiring them?
Golly.
Only white people can be tied up in silly illogical knots like that.
Abstractions.
Oh dear.
But yet another illogical knot that we're letting ourselves be tied up in is, once again, we're back in King County.
This is the city of Seattle.
Two years ago, the Seattle School Board unanimously approved a resolution.
After it had been pushed very hard by the Seattle NAACP to introduce ethnic studies materials into kindergarten through 12th grade schools and create a community task force to design the program.
Well, the community task force has done its job.
Took them two years.
Took them two years, and now they've released a draft with new learning objectives.
They have not yet been implemented, but the idea is to integrate ethnic studies into all subjects.
Including, of course, social studies, history, but math, and even art.
Now, Wayne Au, his last name is spelled A-U.
That doesn't sound like a very waspy name to me.
He's a professor at the University of Washington at Bothell, and he helped come up with this ethnic study initiative, and I quote him.
In a U.S.
history class, for example, Histories of Oppression, Institutionalized racism, community organizing, and resistance can be worked into the lesson plan.
Well, now that's, you know, sounds like the typical propaganda stuff they already get, but I guess they're just going to get more of it.
Not enough, you're right.
Yes, now, and the recently released proposal includes questions like, Where does power and oppression show up in our math experiences?
How would you answer that question?
Laugh?
Laugh at the guy's face and say, yeah, this is it, man.
Come on.
Are you serious?
Well, yes, math is, they're really concentrating on math.
And another question is, how is math manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist?
Can you imagine?
K through 12, you're supposed to be asking questions like this in your math class.
Well, and Ao then explains that, I'll quote him again, we do talk about institutionalized racism and the histories and trajectories of racism in the country but that doesn't mean white kids need to be demonized.
I guess if that happens, it's okay.
But they don't need to be demonized.
Now, there's another person.
Her name is Tracy Castro-Gill, and she is the manager of the Ethnic Studies Program.
And she says that these themes are rooted in research that suggests that there are, and I'm quoting her, immense academic and social benefits To learning about ethnic studies in grade school.
Immense academic and social benefits.
And she says, oh no, I'm sorry, this is not her, this is back to Al.
He says, and it can help white students understand themselves better.
Structural racism in the country has mistaught white people about themselves.
So we're going to correct everything that white people have ever heard about themselves and make sure they understand that although they're not necessarily being demonized, well, yes, they're being demonized.
It's pretty clear that they are the problem with all of this stuff.
And now the stuff about math.
She says, nowhere In this document says that math is inherently racist.
It's how math is used as a tool for oppression.
So we're going to not just learn math, we're going to learn how math is used as a tool for oppression.
One example that teachers might mention in a study on math is how black voters in the south are given literacy and numeracy tests before they could cast their ballots.
Now why is that a math problem?
Apparently it's a math problem.
And then the other would be a lesson on ratios.
In which disproportionate incarceration rates are discussed.
And of course the idea will be, as I mentioned earlier in this program, blacks are in jail at seven times the per capita rate of every other group in the country.
This will be an interesting test in proportions, of course, but nowhere will, I'm sure, the lesson get into the fact that they commit crimes in a disproportionate amount as well.
That would be a more interesting lesson to me.
That'll be...
Not curiously omitted.
That will somehow be curiously omitted, yes.
But now I'm curious as to how this would work in art.
Although, we recently released a video on art as a weapon.
And I think that gives an excellent example of how this kind of thing could be worked into art.
Kehinde Wiley.
Kehinde Wiley is the lad who did the official portrait of President Obama that now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.
He is one of the stars of our little video on art, and likewise Cleon Peterson.
If you don't know the name Cleon Peterson, and I'm sure Mr. Kersey does know the name Cleon Peterson, you need to educate yourself on the subject of Cleon.
In any case, that is in the latest video that we released, and I recommend it to all of our listeners.
But, well, you might be asking yourself, why do we have to change the curriculum?
Well, for all the usual reasons.
Last year, 88% of white students graduated on time, but only 73% of students of color graduated on time, and the students of color, when they did graduate, were not doing as well.
So, after all, Tracy Castro Gill has explained to us that there are immense Academic and social benefits to working this stuff, working this propaganda into academic courses.
And so that's going to solve that problem right away.
And just as a side note, Vermont, Oregon and California are already creating K through 12 materials that prioritize the experiences of communities of color.
in mathematics or for the entire curriculum?
Well, most of the time what they do is they will have a special course on communities of color or ethnic this or
racial that or I don't know compensatory this who knows in any case they've
got some special unit a little propaganda unit but Seattle the Seattle Public Schools are breaking new ground
with the idea of working this whole curriculum of anti-racism into every single course that's
going to be taught K through 12.
You know the best math book I've ever read it's called Mathematics for a Million.
Listeners, go pick a copy of that.
There's no race nonsense in it.
It's just strictly math.
Mathematics for a Million.
Might be a Mathematics for the Million.
It's either Mathematics for the Million or Mathematics for a Million.
It's a great book.
And I also want to throw something else out at you.
Mr. Taylor just pointed out something interesting about how all these different states are now adding this, let's just be blunt, anti-white core into the curriculum as the most important aspect of the teaching of K-12 students.
If you can, track down on Amazon Landmark books.
These were books published in the 40s, 50s, and 60s by Random House.
They would take one of the top authors at the time, and they'd ask them to write about, say, the Betsy Ross, or George Washington, or the original Colonies, the Wright Brothers, Hernan Cortes, Columbus.
You know, Columbus Day is coming up, and the best book you can get on Christopher Columbus is the Christopher Columbus landmark book, because guess what?
There's no apologizing or I'm fretting over the fact that white people long ago came in 1492 and sailed the ocean blue.
These are great books.
I highly encourage all of our listeners, especially if you have kids or grandkids, check these books because there's not an ounce of racial lethargy in them.
White racial lethargy.
Instead it's about a people who are happy and proud about their past accomplishments.
Speaking of racial lethargy.
Our friend Donald J. Trump is back in the news.
It had to do with a conference put on by Turning Point USA.
That was a great group.
It was their Black Leadership Summit, their second annual.
And it happened in the United States, right here in Washington, D.C.
The summit was sponsored by conservative organizations including Liberty University and the Heritage Foundation, so there were virtually no travel or hotel costs for the more than 400 black young leaders who showed up.
Now, Turning Point USA, it is a so-called conservative group.
Scam.
Your word, not mine.
Your word, not mine.
But it made it very clear that it is very, very, very, very much opposed to white nationalism.
Who's the name of the leader?
Charles Kirk.
Just the other day he said, I want to make something very, very clear that the evil, wicked ideology of white supremacy has no place in our organization.
We reject it wholeheartedly and completely, as should any decent American.
And they hold not just black leadership summits, but they also hold Latino and women's leadership conferences every single year.
And Turning Point USA now claims that it has clubs in 1,400 colleges and high schools.
So Turning Point USA is tilling the soil of identity politics for non-white conservatives while at the same time banning any white conservative who dares notice that, hey, as the country gets browner, perhaps white people have racial interests that are, collective interests that are worth protecting and promoting as well.
That's exactly right.
Here we have, they're promoting blacks, they're promoting Hispanics, promoting women too, apparently.
But boy, the idea of white people, that's evil and wicked and should be shunned by all decent Americans.
Well, just last Friday, this gang of young blacks was invited to the White House.
And President Donald Trump gave them a little talking to.
And among the things that he said, and I will quote, he said, African Americans built this nation.
You built this nation.
You know, you're just starting to get real credit for that.
I don't know if you know that, he said.
You're just starting to get, you built the nation.
I mean, we all built it, but you were such a massive part of it.
This is Donald Trump, alleged white supremacist, telling these black people that they built the nation.
Now, as always, I wonder, does he really think this?
And if he doesn't think this, why is he truckling this way?
I just don't understand this guy.
Apparently, while he had the attention of these 400 young blacks, allegedly conservative, allegedly future leaders of the Republican Party, he also spoke about his friendship with Kanye West.
I guess this is another way of ingratiating himself, saying, I'm one of the brothers, boy!
My friend is Kanye West.
He says, you saw the way he... Well, this is apparently a direct transcription of our president's syntax here.
You saw the way he, when he was with the White House, I think for one day, I went up through the polls like through the roof, I tell you.
So he was bragging about the fact that his visit by Kanye West in the White House, that was really great for his ratings among black people.
So here's the President of the United States saying, black people built the country and all I need to do, all I need to do to be popular with black people is be friends with a few famous black people.
Boy, oh boy.
Recall a few episodes ago we talked about the Power of the Sister Vote Survey.
It's of African American women published by Essence Magazine.
If you recall, it showed that a whopping 1% of black women support Trump.
And 2.3% of black women aged 18 to 34 would vote for President Trump if the election were held today.
This poll was taken in mid-September.
Well, Candace Owens, who is the black figurehead of Turning Point USA, she's been prompting this idea of blacks it.
In other words, blacks exiting the Democratic plantation.
Well, she's got a lot of work to do, that's all I can say.
But now you're going to tell us about yet another strong black woman?
Well, let's talk about another strong black woman, and this is going to be a story we call a shot, and we'll finish it with a very funny chaser.
So famed singer Rihanna.
She's from Barbados.
She's an immigrant to the United States.
She blasted Ken Cuccinelli, the acting head of the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Service, for controversial remarks that he had made earlier this year in which he said that the Emma Lazarus poem inscribed on the Statue of Liberty welcoming immigrants to the U.S.
was was referring, quote, to people coming from Europe.
Obviously, that's true.
It's hard to find that being objectionable.
Yeah, I don't think Emma Lazarus was thinking about Haitians and Vietnamese and Turks.
I don't think she had that in mind.
No, no, no.
So she spoke to Vogue magazine, published on October 9th.
Rihanna played a short video of Cuccinello's remarks.
While discussing immigration in America under the Trump administration, she said this, quote, Think about this.
What does America stand for?
A bunch of immigrants.
Of course, Rihanna was born Robin Fenty and St.
Michael Barbados.
And if you've seen pictures of Rihanna, she's quite...
from a racial perspective light-skinned and hold that thought there for a little bit as we get to
that chaser that I told you about because this is important.
She then would continue with this Vogue interview saying this, quote, the fact that his
defense was talking about Europeans coming into America, I mean not only were you immigrants, you were
the worst kind. You came in and murdered the real Americans.
End quote.
Now of course the real Americans would obviously be, I assume, Ryan Helsley's people who get offended by the tomahawk chop at Braves games when a bunch of white people in Cobb County show up for games.
I never understand this.
Blacks who show up and accuse us of having murdered the real Americans, well what right do they have to come then?
What's the story there?
And she wasn't brought to the United States as a slave.
She's an immigrant herself.
But we're worse.
We're worse.
Of course, we built the country that was so attractive that she wanted to come, but we're the worst immigrants of all.
Let's quickly revisit those Cuccinelli remarks, of what he actually said, put in perspective, before we get to that chaser I've been teasing regarding Rihanna.
Cuccinelli said, quote, Well, of course that poem referred back to people coming from Europe, where they had had class-based societies, where people were considered wretched if they weren't in the right class.
it was introduced it was written one year one year after the first federal public charge rule was written that says and I'll quote it any person unable to take care of himself without becoming a public charge would be inadmissible or in the terms that my agency deals with they can't do what's called adjusting status getting a green card becoming legal permanent residents This was a fascinating moment in the Trump presidency.
You know, Cuccinelli's done an admirable job in his position.
And this was shocking, actually, to see someone push back against
what has become such a part of the fundamental mythos, the ethos even, of America.
This poem that was put on...
The Statue of Liberty was a gift, what, 18...
Well, it was supposed to celebrate the centennial of the Declaration of Independence.
So 1876, yeah.
But it was late.
And I don't think they got it up until maybe the late 1880s or something like that.
That's right.
And then I think the poem was put on in the early 1900s, like 1904 maybe?
I believe so.
And of course, the name of the statue is Liberty Enlightening the World.
She's got a torch and she's enlightened.
She's not inviting the world.
She's enlightened.
It's got nothing to do with immigration.
Now, of course, it stands for Third World Enriches White America.
Well, that Shakespeare that I've been teasing about Robin Fenty, known to the world as Rihanna, In a 2007 interview that she gave, The Ugly Secret of Barbados Revealed Worldwide, Rihanna said, quote, I was bullied at school for being white, end quote, because she was much lighter skinned than all of her fellow citizens of Barbados, the school that she went to.
Well, so now having come to the United States, she bullies us for being white.
Correct.
Well, she learned her lesson well, didn't she?
Yes, she did.
Charming.
What a charming girl.
And she's a major cultural figurehead, I suppose, although I knew so little about her.
I thought her name was Rihanna.
Silly me.
But there you go.
I'm just such a cultural outcast.
Well, moving very considerably far from the United States, in fact, deep into the South Atlantic, We come to an ocean.
I'm sorry, we come to an island, yes.
We cross an ocean.
We cross an ocean and we come to an island that is apparently very remote.
So remote that the researchers won't even tell us what its name is.
But researchers from Canada and South Africa have been traveling there from time to time to see what just sort of plastic debris wash up on the island.
They first started going in 1984, then they went in 2009, and then 2018.
And they're finally getting around to giving us the report on the 2018 study.
Well, this island happens to be downwind from South America.
So, in the first voyage in 1984, not too surprisingly, they found that two-thirds of the plastic bottles had come from South America.
Well, this ratio has begun to change.
Now, the latest trip, well, let's see, by 2009, the tide had turned, if you'll permit that comparison, and there were more bottles from, guess where?
Asia.
Asia than from South America.
And by 2018, 73% of the plastic bottles washing up in the South Pacific, downwind from South America, were from China.
And of that number, 83, I'm sorry, 73% were from Asia.
And of that number, 83% were from China.
Now, it turns out that this stuff is probably coming from merchant shipping.
These are Chinese ships crisscrossing the ocean and the crew are just heaving all these plastic bottles overboard.
They're clearly not supposed to do that because there's something called the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution.
That regulates merchant ships.
But I just thought it was interesting that the Chinese apparently couldn't care less.
You would think that if they got enough room to store the full bottles, they could crush the empty bottles and take them home and dispose them in some other way.
But no!
They just heave them overboard.
Heave them overboard!
And we're supposed to be limiting the number of babies we have because they're going to start consuming too many resources and it's going to add to global climate change.
The Chinese don't care.
The Chinese are indifferent, apathetic to the cries of, to the shriek, to the shrieking of 15 year old Swedish girls.
Greta Thunberg!
Yeah, Greta, Greta.
Oh boy, she always introduces herself.
I'm Greta Thunberg.
Greta.
Oh gosh, she sets my teeth on edge.
Revolting!
We won't talk about Greta.
Greta.
But, well, let's see.
You had mentioned Columbus Day is on its way.
So let's talk about Columbus Day for a moment, if we may.
Yes.
The District of Columbia has jumped on the bandwagon and will now celebrate next Monday as Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day.
There was a fast-tracked bill the D.C.
Council approved just the day before yesterday.
And it was emergency legislation that redesignates the date to recognize the contributions of Native Americans.
Now, Columbus Day was officially designated as a federal holiday in 1937.
We'll see how long it takes for them to change that.
But all around the country, Maine, New Mexico, Vermont, North Carolina have made the change.
And, you know, they don't decide, well, Columbus is not a good guy, so we need to get rid of celebrating him.
No, they've got to go 180 degrees and say, not only are we going to not celebrate him, we're going to celebrate the Indians.
So they're all dumping Columbus Day, and they're not doing something else, like, I don't know, Family Day, or, you know, Enjoy the Outdoors Day.
No, it's all gotta be Indigenous Peoples Day.
And you know what's even worse about all this, Mr. Taylor?
What's worse?
We can't even do the Tomahawk Chop on Indigenous Peoples Day.
Oh, you're right!
That would be cultural appropriation.
You're right!
We're supposed to be celebrating the Indigenous Peoples' contributions, but we better not have cheap costume!
Perhaps instead of doing the chop, perhaps instead of doing the chop, if we actually did a scalping motion.
Of what happened to white settlers all across the country in battles from Minnesota to Mississippi to Oklahoma.
You know, I think the only thing that would make people happy is if they were real tomahawks.
And what you did was you chopped your neighbor with it.
So all ended up dead in the stands.
All the white people dead in the stands from tomahawk wounds.
That would make them happy, I'm sure.
The guy who introduced this emergency legislation, by the way, they were in such a rush to get it done before Columbus Day, his name is Is David Grosso, and he said in a statement, Columbus enslaved, colonized, mutilated, and massacred thousands of indigenous people in the Americas.
We cannot continue to allow this history to be celebrated as a holiday in the district.
So as you can tell, this guy is completely on board.
Both hands, both feet, he is on board.
Forgive my historical illiteracy on this one, but I don't think that's actually true, is it?
Well, that he massacred and mutilated thousands of... Well, I don't think so.
I don't know of any that he personally mutilated or killed for that matter, but this is the story here.
Well, I looked up this Grosso guy.
He doesn't appear to be Hispanic.
I thought he might be.
He looks to be perfectly white.
But before attending college, he volunteered helping refugees from El Salvador living in Honduras.
So apparently he went to Honduras helping El Salvadoran refugees.
Then, he also spent a full year as a volunteer working on a transitional housing program for homeless women in San Antonio, Texas.
And that's where he met his wife.
Her name is Sarah Sippel, who is president of the Center for Health and Gender Equity.
I don't know what that is, but I suspect I don't like it.
No.
It's the Center for Health and Gender Equity.
He also worked as a chief counsel for Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, who never met an anti-white idea.
She just didn't wrap her both arms around.
Now, furthermore, he introduced a non-binding resolution to the city council, DC City Council, calling upon the Washington Redskins team to change its name.
He said it was racist and derogatory.
You just cannot have something named after an Indian without it being racist and derogatory.
So I suppose he's going to have the name Chesapeake changed, too.
He's got to change the name of the river.
Anyway, now guess what he suggested as an alternative?
And this is really rather clever.
Instead of red skins, he said it ought to be called red tails.
Red tails?
You don't recognize the red?
Oh, I thought you'd recognize that.
That's for the Tuskegee Airmen.
Oh!
Yes, the tails of their fighters are painted red.
The Tuskegee Airmen, who've been shouted from the rooftops, who, when you actually look at their record, We're pretty much a waste of gasoline.
Incredibly unimpressive, and there's actually a number of books that have been written recently that completely exposed this idea that they never lost a fighter.
Well, yes, it's all very silly stuff.
They almost never got in a fight.
That's one good way not to lose a fighter.
But this fellow, David Grosso, he introduced a bill that would grant the voting rights in municipal elections to non-citizens.
And just as a final little note, he is a registered medical marijuana user.
So that is the guy who is pushing through this demotion of Christopher Columbus.
He can keep his peace pipe because I'm not going to have any tokes.
No, no, medical marijuana.
Now, just as a side light, he's not the only one, of course.
Governor Tony Evers!
...has declared that the second Monday in October is going to be Indigenous Peoples' Day in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's going to have Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Now, in his statement, he says, "...today is about recognizing that Wisconsin would not be all that it is without Indigenous people."
Now, it set me thinking.
What is it about Wisconsin that would be different if no Indigenous people had been there at all?
Maybe there'd be a few place names that are different.
Yeah, you know, Milwaukee wouldn't have its name.
It would still have probably had three white socialist mayors.
Yes, but it would not be all that it is without, yes, what have they contributed to Wisconsin?
I guess it is horribly racist and prejudiced and oppressive of us.
How dare you even think of that?
Even wonder, yes.
And we're all supposed to, oh, of course, all these contributions they made.
It's like when President Trump says, you guys, You know, the blacks, you built America.
Well, hold on, President Trump.
How?
Where?
Detroit 100 years ago was 98% white.
Baltimore 100 years ago was 86% white.
The difference now, as those cities are dilapidated, collapsing, where'd all the white people go?
Well, they went to build other things, didn't they?
Or they went to go live in other things that black people had built for them.
That's what they did.
Sure.
In any case, you know, when Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin when he saw he had a big signing ceremony and his office it see I could tell from the photographs It was not his office is some great.
It looks like an auditorium of some kind crowds of people and I couldn't help noticing they have all of these overweight Indians beating on Tom Toms and You'd think for the photo op, you know?
But, you know, they're all... Maybe they would have called Ryan Helsley.
I guess he didn't look Indian enough.
Yes, he didn't look Indian.
Some look clearly Indian.
I gotta ask another question.
Yes, ask another question.
I've got all the answers.
Were white people allowed to do dom hock chop at this signing?
Well, you know, I was looking at the people doing the drumming, and one of the boys looked clearly Caucasian to me.
Okay.
So who knows?
Maybe he's one of these Elizabeth Warren types.
Maybe they just decided to practice a little diversity.
Who knows?
But they did have one clearly white-looking kid.
But there were no foam tomahawks.
No foam tomahawks.
No foam tomahawks.
But anyway.
The madness.
But let's move on to the country.
Down south of the border to a little incident in Mexican politics that I thought was noteworthy.
Just a little incident.
As it turns out, Mayor Jorge Hernandez, he's the mayor of Las Margaritas in southern Mexico, and during his mayoral campaign, he promised to build a road.
And apparently, in Las Margaritas, they take campaign promises really seriously.
As you should!
Well, four months ago, a group of men showed up looking for him, and he wasn't there.
They trashed his office.
Because they want that road.
They want that road very badly.
They were promised it.
They were promised it.
Well, on Tuesday of this week, a group of farmers stormed the office, wrecked the place all over again.
You'd think he'd have learned his lesson by now.
Then, they pulled the mayor out of the building, forced him into the back of the truck, and...
Later on, they dragged him through the streets behind this truck.
And there is actually surveillance video of this poor guy being dragged down the street.
It's really quite shocking.
Now, I didn't think he could be dragged very far and survive.
No, no, no.
It's like a Hollywood movie.
But, I mean, in this video, he must go about 50 yards anyway.
But the state police managed to find and rescue the mayor.
But the story doesn't end there.
This incident caused a brawl between the locals and the police, leaving at least 20 injured and 11 arrested.
They must really want that road.
I tell you.
But this is just a little example of politics south of the border.
And I should think that if I were Jorge Hernandez, I'd like to build on that road.
Well, I think I saw a Pew Research study that shows there are now 65 million Mexicans living in the United States.
So, a little harbinger of things to come.
We'll see.
We'll see.
But now, you had a story from the United Kingdom.
I've got, yeah, I've got a story from the United Kingdom.
It's actually from the University of Sheffield.
It's courtesy of Paul Joseph Watson's Summit News.
It's a site that I encourage our listeners to check out.
Often excellent stuff.
I think he's doing great work and of course he was part of Alex Jones's InfoWars operation which was Nuked by the establishment for very good reason because Alex was beginning to not only flirt but to embrace a lot of the stuff that we talk about here at Renaissance Radio or Radio Renaissance depending on the week we're talking about.
So the University of Sheffield Student Union in the UK has banned white people from attending a meeting about anti-racism.
The The SU announced that it would hold focus groups on, quote, how we can create an anti-racist students union, end quote, as part of an effort to shift from a non-racist to an actively anti-racist stance.
There's so much in here.
You know, you just can't be just non-racist.
You have to be actively anti-racist.
And then, of course, the question becomes, well, what do you do with white people once we've implemented our agenda?
That's a hell of a problem, isn't it?
And that's where the tomahawks come in.
And they're not going to be foam.
No, the real thing.
The real thing.
And, you know, this by saying, okay, we're going to build an anti-racist student union, but we're not going to have white people around.
Nope.
That just goes, they're essentially writing off white people.
Yep.
White people are purely an obstacle.
An obstacle to whatever goals they have in mind.
So, as Watson points out, no white people are allowed to take part.
This is from the official announcement, quote, please note that these sessions are only open to black and minority ethnic BME students.
Yes, that's the way the Brits talk about them.
B-M-E.
You know, the Canadians talk about visible minorities.
I think that's an interesting one.
You're an invisible majority, I suppose.
Well, here it goes.
This is fascinating because Watson points out that the University of Edinburgh where white people were banned from asking questions at an
event called resisting whiteness.
We will not be giving the microphone to white people during the Q&A's,
not because we don't think white people have anything to offer to the discussion,
but because we want to amplify the voices of people of color.
That's always the way it is, isn't it?
Like Harvard explaining that, no, no, we don't discriminate against whites and Asians.
We're just favoring blacks and Hispanics.
As I say, I'm just too stupid to know the difference.
Which is a nice way of saying, hey, whitey, shut the hell up.
You got nothing to add.
You got nothing to say.
That's right.
Go away.
Well, that's what they want us to do.
And all too many white people are prepared to go away.
That's the problem.
That's the main problem.
Well, dear listener, you've been listening to us, and you obviously don't want white people to go away.
So, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Our podcast time is up.
