Welcome ladies and gentlemen boys and girls latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I might add that my manner of welcoming you is no longer considered appropriate by Air Canada.
Air Canada has dropped ladies and gentlemen because it assumes that the entire audience can be divided into those two groups and those who have some sort of midway position or fluctuate back and forth and don't consider themselves either ladies or gentlemen are insulted by that.
Well, I'm very sorry to you folks out there, but we're going to stick with ladies and gentlemen, at least until convinced otherwise.
I don't see that changing anytime soon, but Mr. Taylor, I'm going to go one step further and say, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to yet another edition, another episode of Renaissance Radio.
And I might put out that this episode is coming to some of you a few days later than it should have for reasons that are beyond our control.
Now, this is yet another reason why in these uncertain times it is very important for you to send us your email addresses so we can contact you even if someone prefers that we not do so.
So please send your email addresses to You can either send it to me at BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, that's BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
I'd also like to encourage everyone to get onto ProtonMail.
Far more secure than the other platforms that exist out there.
The other way to send us your email address is to the Contact Us tab at Amarin.com.
And if you indicate that you'd like to be put on our mailing list, we would be happy to send you our weekly list.
Now, it is in that particular context that we move on to our first story of the week, which has to do with Twitter's new rules, its enforcement policy, its censorship policy.
Let's just call it what it is.
They now have new rules for politicians and other influential users.
Now, what happens is this.
Ordinarily, of course, if you do bad things, at least in their view, they will dump you.
And there have been a few political leaders whom they have dumped.
I remember it was Facebook in this case, but the man who runs the Burmese government, which Facebook disliked, they just got rid of his Facebook account, despite the fact that that's the way he communicated with his people.
But, if you are a political leader, they will, if you have at least 100,000 followers, they will let you get away with certain things they won't let others get away with because they say that there is a certain news value to what political leaders are doing.
Now, even if you are a bigwig, presumably even if you're President of the United States, they will delete your tweet if it promotes terrorism or violence or self-harm, involves illegal goods or services, or is intended to interfere with elections, such as, for example, posting misinformation about voting.
I don't think President Trump is going to say, uh, hello, listen up, black people.
The voting booths have all been moved.
I don't think he's going to do that.
But if he did that, then presumably that tweet would be deleted.
He's actually going to do the opposite.
He's going to say, hey, the blacks.
Look at the unemployment rate.
Look what I've done for you.
Look what I've done for you.
Go vote for me, please.
That's right.
That's right.
The exact opposite.
But if you are a world leader, or if you have, and I'm not sure if you have 100,000 or more, even if you're not a world leader, I suppose if you have 100,000 followers, then you're considered in some respects a world leader and worthy of bending the rules for.
But if you publish a tweet, If you are one of these special people, the offending tweet will be marked with a new warning label, and it will also be impossible to like the tweet, reply to it, share it, or retweet it.
Users will be able to express their disdain for the tweet by using the retweet with comment function that provides a link to the original moderated tweet.
It's all very elaborate, but the idea is, okay, if President Trump, who's clearly the guy in the crosshairs here, says something that upsets Senator Kamala Harris or upsets Powwow Chow, one of his other potential Democratic competitors, then you can retweet with comment, but you can't do the other usual things like liking and retweeting in the usual way.
And it is worth noticing that earlier this month Senator Kamala Harris, Democratic presidential hopeful, wrote a letter to Twitter asking them to ban U.S.
President Donald Trump outright.
Well she used her platform at the latest debate.
Yes.
Arguing the exact same thing and trying to get other of her opponents in the Democratic primary to do just that.
That's right.
Endorse her censorship plan.
That's right.
And if Donald Trump can go, just about anybody can go.
Just about anybody can go.
Now, I do find it interesting that in all the hubbub about what Twitter can do,
whom Twitter can censor and whom it cannot, the one lefty, and in fact, the one lefty or righty as far as I'm
concerned, who has come out with a really strong free speech position
is Nadine Strossen of the ACLU.
She is a committed, dyed-in-the-wool lefty, practically a socialist, but she regularly tells the media that all of this stuff about censorship is dangerous, If the shoe's on the other foot, we could be gagged, says she.
And she says that the only statements that should be removed are those that violate genuine constitutional free speech regulations.
I say, hooray for you, Nadine.
I think it's delightful for her to be taking a position like that.
How many so-called conservatives do you know that even take that position?
I don't really want to know that many so-called conservatives because they all would look at her and say well wait a second asterisk we don't want we don't want that Jerry Taylor to have access to anything and increasingly they're talking about people like Tucker Carlson wasn't there some Lefty outlet that tried to say that Tucker Carlson's opinion on Columbus was exactly a carbon copy of yours?
Yes, it was one of these silly pastiches in which they take a few things that I say on a video about Columbus, I say them, then Tucker Carlson says similar things, and they said Tucker Carlson is ripping from a white supremacist, namely your humble servant.
I'm the so-called white supremacist that he's stealing material from.
I don't think he's stealing any material at all.
These are good ideas that occur to sensible people.
And if he says something that is similar to something I've said, apparently he's studying at the feet of wicked people like me.
It's just so crazy.
Yes, but my point is it is not only liberals who do not stand up for real freedom of speech, so-called conservatives don't either.
Now maybe Tucker Carlson might be one who would say that, but of all the so-called National Review types, good grief, I think they're delighted that anybody to their right is silent.
We know perfectly well that's the truth because one of the main writers of National Review, David French, has constantly argued that So-called nationalist, supremacist, whatever pejorative you want to use.
Anybody that advocates for whites should be silenced.
They should be digitally lynched.
And, boy, people are listening.
In any case, speaking of Columbus Day, what's the latest?
Well, there's a couple things we want to talk about Columbus Day because I feel that on a national level we are getting close to seeing the end of Columbus Day as a whole.
Case in point, let's go to California.
You know, as California goes, so goes the nation, they say.
Well, on October 14th, Governor Gavin Newsom, when he wasn't signing all those horrible new gun laws in the state, really bad red flag laws, you know what he was doing?
He was declaring Indigenous Peoples Day, recognizing resilience over conquest.
His proclamation applies only to October 14th, 2019, but it follows a trend in which states From Lillywhite, Maine, and I say that with great fondness of that wonderful state, however, Lillywhite, Maine is now passing Indigenous Peoples Day, and they're getting rid of Columbus Day, to South Dakota, which is now passing legislation to add another holiday honoring Native Americans.
You mean in addition to Indigenous Peoples Day?
No, they've replaced Columbus Day with another holiday honoring Native Americans.
So it is basically just a celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day, which is the various tribes that, of course, there's this angelic view that they were living in paradise before the white manna came.
Well, you know, you say, as goes California, so goes the nation.
Well, Washington, D.C.
has already gone that way.
Just this year they had emergency City Council legislation that turned it into Indigenous Peoples Day.
We talked about that last week and one thing we also talked about months ago was Columbus, Ohio.
That's the capital of the great state of Ohio.
They're even talking about getting, maybe even changing the name, of Columbus.
Well, they claimed they didn't have enough money for a Columbus Day Parade.
That's right.
But so far as I know, I think they still celebrate the day, but maybe they changed the name of the city, too.
Why not call it Indigenous Peoples?
Wouldn't that be logical?
I'm sure you could find some tribe and just name it after that.
Rename it.
Well, that would be discriminatory.
Come on.
Indigenous peoples.
You can't call it, you know, the Kickapoo.
You can't call it Kickapoo or Okefenokee.
No.
It's got to be indigenous people.
Well, here's what Newsom said in the proclamation.
And quote, Instead of commemorating conquest today, we recognize resilience, home to one of the largest and most diverse populations of indigenous peoples anywhere in the United States.
California is a better, stronger and more vibrant place because of them.
End quote.
Oh, I'm sure it is.
What I don't understand is that, you know, they want to knock off Columbus Day because Columbus is now officially a bad guy, but they all go to Indigenous Peoples Day.
Why can't, if they don't like Columbus Day, why can't they come up with something else?
You know, call it, I don't know, Hug Your Daughter Day or Eat a Beefsteak Day or come up with something, Family Day.
No, they've got to go from one extreme to the other.
That is so typical of the current mentality today.
Luckily there was somebody who was quoted as pushing back against this and it was a gentleman by the name of Bill Cerruti.
He's a chair of the California Italian American Task Force.
You know, Italians are one of those few...
Ethnic white groups that does fight back, that does have, you know, they're not fighting back obviously for, they're not white advocates, they're Italian advocates for their heritage.
You see this a lot, but here's what he said.
At least they have maybe half a vertebra left.
And listen to this quote, I think you'll like this.
Quote, Italians have been instrumental in the creation of California's wine, fishing, mining, agriculture, and food processing industries, and the establishment of the first branch baking system in the nation in the Italian neighborhoods of California, which spread subsequently across the country.
Attempts to take away the Columbus Day holiday and replace it with Indigenous Peoples Day would be an injustice and would be a form of discrimination against Italian Americans and other Americans."
Now, of course, I interpret that.
He's not going to go the full mounty, but When he talks about other Americans, is he talking about white Americans, dare I say?
Huh, well, maybe in the back of his mind.
But if all he's talking about is California, Columbus did not discover California.
If they're going to remove Columbus, they could call it Gallo Wine Day or something if they're going to talk about how important Italians were to the wine industry.
Let's get consistent here.
But anyway, here's another feel-good story.
Brittany Cooper.
She teaches gender studies because she's a professor at Rutgers University.
Gender studies.
And she was on a recent episode of a program called, and I've never heard of this before, Black Women Own the Conversation.
Well, they do.
I guess they do, and they're crowing about it.
Now, this is broadcast by the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Now, Professor Brittany Cooper says that increased stress should be changing black women's metabolisms to the point where it becomes more difficult to shed extra pounds.
She goes on to say that the president's status as a racially polarizing figure that contributes to issues of racial stresses for people of color It's part of the problem.
In other words, she says we're living in the Trump era and look at all these policies that kill our people, you can't get access to health care, good insurance, etc.
So Donald Trump is keeping black women fat.
She says it's literally that the racism you're experiencing and the struggle to make ends meet actually means that the diet doesn't work for you the same.
Presumably as it does for white women.
Then she goes on to complain, I hate when people talk about black women being obese.
I hate it because it becomes a way to blame us for a set of conditions that we didn't create.
Oh yeah, boy.
So, okay, Donald Trump makes black women fat.
Now, my question to you... Oh, and I would point out that Brittany Cooper, according to her photographs, looks pretty regular to her meals.
So I believe she's talking about herself here.
And you can find her on Twitter, by the way, where you are no longer having any digital real estate on that platform.
She's known as Professor Crunk.
I believe she's an african-american.
She teaches at Rutgers.
Oh yes, she's african-american.
I believe she teaches african-american studies at Rutgers.
Maybe african-american studies too, who knows.
But I wonder how many white people actually are invited to appear on this program called Black Women Own the Conversation.
Well, I watched that clip and I would like to ask our listeners, real quick, pause this podcast Look on YouTube, because guess what?
YouTube is never going to ban Professor Crunk.
Brittney Cooper is always going to have access to that platform.
I encourage you to actually watch this.
It's about a minute and thirty second clip.
And look at the crowd.
Look at whether it's An obese individual in the crowd, or if it's somebody who is in great shape.
They all shake their heads in an affirmative.
They say yes, agreeing with her.
See?
Agreeing that, yeah, you know what?
It is because of President Trump.
It is because of this white guy, that obesity and that, you know, this is all the fault of President Trump and those evil MAGA hat-wearing Trumpsters.
And then come back here, because we get to actually tell you something that Dr. Cooper, Professor Crunk, left out in her analysis of obesity.
Yes, she did, didn't she?
So do tell.
Well, first of all, first of all, you know, assuming that Donald Trump is creating an atmosphere that makes black women fat or keeps them fat, is this an impeachable offense?
I think it is.
I think it probably is.
I don't want to get the Democrats' ideas, but you know, here's another one.
Checkbox here, another impeachable offense.
But yes.
Well, tell us what Professor Cooper left out.
I will, but I'd like to say, though, however, don't you think that the food lobby would say, maybe, wait a second, our profits are going through the roof here all of a sudden.
Never mind.
Okay, because guess what?
That wouldn't be changed.
In 2010, in the May issue of The Atlantic, there was an article called, Beating Obesity.
Now this was published during President Barack Obama's first term, and I'd like to read you one of the main quotes from that piece.
Again, this is the May 2010 issue of Atlantic.
The article in question is called, Beating Obesity.
This article notes, In 2008, the five states with obesity rates of 30% or more were Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Black children are more at peril of becoming obese than white children.
Black women are more than 50% more likely to be obese than white women.
Quote, at the current rate of increase, epidemiologists noted in a recent article on obesity, it will take less than 30 years for all black women to become overweight or obese.
End quote.
Well, it sounds like Trump is just continuing a trend that was set in motion by Barack Obama.
I don't think Barack Obama was advocating racism toward African-Americans during his presidency.
But they were putting on the pounds anyway, huh?
Well, you know, here's another fascinating little tidbit here.
This was an article that I discovered back in 2008.
But sometimes you have to go back in time to find the wisdom of the ages.
And according to this, Black women are the only population group in the entire country who are getting shorter.
Say that one more time.
That black women are the only group in the entire population that is getting shorter as the generations go by.
Not taller, getting shorter.
Did this article in question Advocate the idea that it's because of racism.
Nope, nope, nope.
Shockingly, it didn't say that.
Okay.
Shockingly.
It did point out, though, that women born in the 1980s are a full half-inch shorter than their mothers.
We're talking about black women here, and only black women.
White women are getting taller.
Black women are not.
But the only explanation they could come up with is bad eating habits.
Bad eating habits and bad health habits.
No, this article did not speculate about racism.
Of course, it was more than 10 years old, and that was before we talked incessantly about white privilege and systemic racism.
So, if this article would be written today, They'd probably manage to find some way to work that in.
Isn't it astonishing how every aspect of our life now has to be looked through the prism of white privilege, of systemic racism, of inequality, whatever you want to call it.
That's how now everything that we do, whether it comes to what we put in our body, whether it comes to how we exercise, whether it comes to how we save money, it doesn't matter.
Nope.
Every aspect of society is permeated with racism, explicit or implicit, and white people, even if they think that they are white allies, are really shoring up white hegemony every moment of every day just by breathing in and out.
We all know that.
But I guess they didn't know that back in 2008.
So they left that crucial explanatory note out of this article.
Which is why I felt it necessary, Mr. Taylor and our dear listening audience, to bring up that article from The Atlantic because It somewhat destroys Professor Crunk, Dr. Brittany Cooper's idea that Trump's alleged racism is encouraging black women to... extra helpings.
Don't forget, even with Barack Obama in the saddle, there was still all of that white evil circulating, circulating constantly.
But moving on, BBC recently broadcast something called Undercover with the Clerics Iraq's Secret Sex Trade.
Now this is about something that the Muslims called Nikah Mutah.
Which literally means pleasure marriage.
The idea is that a man who is unmarried and living in a society where prostitution is illegal and who is an incel of the worst sort, he gets a chance to engage in a pleasure marriage.
Now, Nikah Mutah has no prescribed minimum or maximum duration, but you pay a fee.
This is a negotiable fee and it requires an agreement either written or verbal.
Now, this was an investigation by the BBC in Iraq, where the practice is officially banned.
But they approached 10 Shia clerics.
Now, I don't know how they decided on who the 10 would be, but 8 out of the 10 were perfectly happy.
To provide a pleasure marriage.
This is really just a form of prostitution.
These are women who have been sucked into some kind of sexual slavery or sexual obligation, pimped out by the religious elite.
These are all secret filmings, by the way.
One cleric conducts a pleasure marriage with a girl who is 13 years old.
13 years old.
In another case, an undercover reporter is introduced to a cleric who says that Nika Mutha is perfectly fine with nine-year-olds.
He says, nine-year-olds, no problem.
That's a quotation from what this guy says.
Then the footage goes on to have him explain, quote, it's up to you how you want to do it.
She is permitted to you.
You're allowed to perform from behind.
Do what you desire.
So, now I'm very surprised that the BBC actually ran this thing.
But this is a genuine phenomenon in the Islamic world and all of these were apparently Shia clerics who didn't know they were being filmed but were prepared to take a fee to perform this pleasure marriage ceremony.
Now, because this is considered insulting to Muslims, There has been a call set up on one of these petition websites and 17,000 people have demanded the BBC take this down.
It's set up on change.org by someone named Mo K. Probably, that's Mohamed somebody rather.
In any case, to its credit, the BBC is holding firm.
They say, this is a real phenomenon.
We stand by our reporting.
Here it is.
And I say, hats off to the BBC.
This reminds me of the signs that have been going up lately, and I think they're brilliantly conceived.
People have been putting up signs that say, Islam is right about women.
Now this, the liberal head just explodes when you see this.
If you say, well this is an insult to Muslims, well then is that because they're right or because they're wrong about it?
Or is it an insult to women?
Somebody's being insulted here.
One pet group or the other is being insulted and they don't know which.
And one of these went up in Ireland.
Okay.
And the Irish authorities were saying, this is a terrible insult, but we're not sure whether women or Muslims are being insulted.
But it's an insult.
Gotta come down.
And they called the authorities.
Oh my goodness.
I think this is brilliant.
Islam is right about women.
Now, of course, you're not endorsing the take.
You're just saying it creates that mental gymnastics.
Exactly.
It just ties them up in knots of their own devising.
Pretzels of inequality.
That's a good one.
But now, here's a sign of a certain amount of resistance to the prevailing view of white guilt.
This happened at Georgia Southern University.
It involved a woman by the name of Janine Capu-Crusette.
She's a second-generation Cuban immigrant.
She grew up in Florida.
She attended Cornell.
Top flight Ivy League school.
Got a PhD at the University of Minnesota.
She's an Associate Professor of English and Ethnic Studies at the University of Nebraska.
Her work has appeared in the New York Times.
She's won at least three prizes for writing.
Sounds like someone who has really had a tough life of discrimination, doesn't it?
That's a great CV.
That's a great CV.
Well, turns out she's yet another privileged non-white making a living by yelling about white privilege.
Okay.
And she was invited to the University of Georgia Southern, their main campus at Statesboro, Georgia.
It's not far from Savannah.
Not far from Savannah to discuss her new book called My Time Among the Whites.
My Time Among the Whites Notes from an Unfinished Education.
And this is all part of her school's orientation program for first year students.
Would you repeat that title of the book?
The title is My Time Among the Whites.
Among the Whites.
Among the Whites, yes.
Sounds like, you know, there is a book, a classic of anthropology called The Sexual Life of Savages.
Is that by Jane Goodall?
No, no, no, no.
I think it's Malinowski.
Okay.
Malinowski.
Needless to say, such a title could not be published today, but this is my time among the whites.
In any case, a freshman made to read her books, and this is part of the orientation program for first-year students, and she got up, of course, and she got on her usual hobby horse and yelled about white privilege.
Well, what should happen?
But a white female student got up and said, and I quote, it's a little bit disjointed, but apparently what she said is this.
I noticed that you made a lot of generalizations about the majority of white people being privileged.
What makes you believe it's okay to come to a college campus like this when we're supposed to be promoting diversity on this campus, which is what we're taught?
I don't understand what the purpose of all this was.
It's a great response because obviously this speaker's time with the whites at Statesboro, as we're getting into, it didn't go according to plan.
Mr. Taylor, you've been doing this for a long time.
I'm going to go on record here and say, is this the first time on a college campus you've actually seen Something of this magnitude transpire?
Oh, no.
I mean, there has been resistance.
I mean, when Tim Wise speaks, there are people who stand up and quote some of his just vitriolically anti-white stuff back to him.
This is not absolutely unprecedented.
Frankly, the only reason this got so much news is because of one of the other things that followed.
In any case, this woman got up and said, here, you know, we're supposed to be celebrating diversity.
You come and you yell about white privilege.
You think we're all privileged?
What gives you the right to talk about this?
I wish this person had said, from your resume, you're obviously pretty damn privileged yourself.
And you think we're all going to just swan into some Ivy League school and then swan into professorship?
I haven't seen a picture of this speaker.
Is she light-skinned?
She's light-skinned.
She's light-skinned Hispanic.
In fact, I looked for pictures of her just to check on this.
Her promo picture is very glamorous.
She looks like an absolute movie star.
The actual photographs from her behind the podium, she's this frumpy old Hispanic lady, but light-skinned.
It's really one of these, what, is this the same person kind of stuff?
She has white left.
Well, it makes you believe in Photoshop.
In any case, no, she's light-skinned, but not, you know, you couldn't pass her a Norwegian, let's put it that way.
Okay.
Well, in any case, after this all happened, and just this one woman getting up and saying, well, what you got telling us about white privilege, huh?
That provoked kind of a shouting match among the students and traumatized poor Miss Corsette.
But then what happened later, and what got this in the national spotlight, was that there was a six-second video posted on Twitter that showed a group of about half a dozen students Burning a copy of her book.
Oh!
They put it on a grill as if it were a nice fat steak and they turned up the coals and there it goes.
Then she wrote this, to think, this is Miss Cousette, to think of those students watching as a group of their peers burned that story.
Effectively erasing them on the campus they are expected to think of as a safe space, fields, Devastating.
The book burning is devastating.
Well, you know, I was annoyed when Amazon stopped selling my books.
I was annoyed when it became impossible to buy mine.
But was I devastated?
I guess, you know, white fragility just doesn't seem to affect me the way it's supposed to.
In any case, but there were messages on social media that a few posts were critical of her, accusing her of racist and disrespectful comments about whites.
This is a great, this is a good sign.
However, the news headline in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was this.
Georgia Southern Book Burning Sparks Outrage and Calls for Civility.
Well, let's think about this.
She got to speak.
Nobody shouted it down.
She wasn't attacked.
She got one critical question.
One critical text.
And one copy of her book was toasted on a grill.
And this is sparking outrage.
Think of all the moderately conservative people who have been shouted down, driven off campus, in some cases physically attacked.
But this lady, because she's one of our precious persons of color, the fact that she got a little bit of criticism just sparks outrage.
Well, Charles Murray was attacked.
The person who invited him got sent to the hospital.
She was hurt.
Heather MacDonald has had to cancel events.
Miley Yiannopoulos, the list goes on and on.
And Coulter.
They don't even have a chance to speak.
They get drowned up, people beat on pots and pans, they whoop and holler, make it impossible to speak.
In fact, just a few days ago, Secretary of Homeland Security, McAleenan.
At Georgetown, right?
Yes, at Georgetown.
Georgetown can't even keep an acting cabinet secretary, give him a chance to speak.
But outrage, outrage.
This Hispanic got a little bit of pushback.
Outrage.
This is an academic who is peddling this idea of white privilege, of course, in the state of Georgia.
It's important that we go back and mention a girl who eight years ago was murdered by a black individual who shot two other white girls in Midtown Atlanta.
Brittany Watts is, in my opinion, I think is the first white person to have been murdered that in the court case it comes out that the motivation was because this black individual had learned about white privilege in college.
Yes, that may be the first white privilege case, but there have been plenty others.
Oh, there have been plenty others!
Who will say that this is payback for slavery.
But the whole idea of white privilege, yes.
That may be the first case.
The fact that he admitted it in court.
I think a lot of the records were sealed, but Brittany Watts, I think it was July of 2011, she was shot, as were two other white girls.
They were all targeted because of their race.
This was a court case that was devastating when it happened.
It's all perfectly logical, isn't it?
All these white people, every white person you see, by definition, is enjoying unearned white privilege.
Correct.
Well, they're colonizers, actually.
And if I could, Mr. Taylor, go back.
There's one story that we forgot to mention about Columbus.
It's important because it kind of dovetails onto what this, you know, when you're, when
you're in college, it's impressionable and you hear that white people are responsible
for all the evils, you know, either you're going to turn it off and you're like, okay,
that's nonsense.
I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut and graduate and move on in my life and get a job.
Or you, you eat it up and you, and it changes your, your mindset.
You realize, hey, you know what?
These white people are past, present, they're all evil.
You know what?
We've got to work to make sure that their future is rough.
And I'd like to bring up a couple of Columbus statues that were vandalized.
There were actually three that were vandalized nationwide.
A statue in Providence, Rhode Island, was splashed from head to toe with red paint, and a sign reading, Stop Celebrating Genocide, was leaned against the pedestal.
Mmm.
Okay.
Genocide.
Right.
Yeah.
A Columbus statue in the Southern California city of Chula Vista was also defaced Monday with red paint.
Now, in San Francisco, a Columbus statue at the foot of Coit Tower and the city's North Beach neighborhood was vandalized sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning of this past weekend.
Someone poured red paint over it and drew anarchy symbols and messages on the concrete base that read, and I quote, Destroy all monuments of genocide.
And, quote, kill all colonizers.
End quote.
Hmm.
Colonizers.
Well, that can only be white people, I suppose.
Because when the place was colonized, it was only white people who did it.
Now, what about the people who've come later?
The Asians?
Or the Haitians?
Are they... I guess they're not colonizers.
Well, they're part of that kill all colonizers party, I'd assume.
Probably, even though they came much later than the colonizers.
You know, this reminds me of, what is it, that South African song, Kill the Boer?
Correct.
Kill the Boer, that means kill them all.
And there's a guy, bring me my AK, kill the Boer.
Even Nelson Mandela sang that song.
Nelson and his bride Winnie.
Yes, yes, kill the Boer.
Well, it sounds like the same kind of a thing.
But speaking of killing, There was an interesting episode in Dayton, Ohio.
It took place in a Dollar General store when 23-year-old Roosevelt Ripley showed up with a gun, demanded cash, Pointed a gun at one of the cashiers and other people in the store.
Well, as it turned out, the fellow who was behind the counter had a legally registered firearm.
He pulled it out and shot 23-year-old Roosevelt rapidly.
Well, Roosevelt is one of ten siblings and the second of these ten to be shot.
Well, Sister Rochelle Rappley told Local Channel 7 that the Manasaur had no business having a gun.
Let alone using it to fatally shoot her brother.
She says, that was wrong for the clerk to shoot my brother in the chest.
Now, was he supposed to shoot the gun out of his hand the way they used to do in cowboy movies?
I remember the great Sam Francis years ago.
There was a case in which some black guy who was waving a gun around got shot dead by the police.
And apparently she actually said to Sam Francis, couldn't they just shoot the gun out of his hand?
Anyway, this guy did not shoot the gun.
That's a Hollywood trope.
That's right.
Shot the brother in the chest, but she did say he's got some responsibility, but not all.
Rochelle goes on to say, call the police.
That's what y'all are supposed to do.
You're not supposed to take matters into y'all's own hands.
I just thought that this was an interesting case of good family solidarity.
You know, we talk about the deterioration of the black family.
I have to admire, I have to admire Rochelle standing up for her brother, Roosevelt.
This is a sign of the power of the black family, don't you think?
It's not eroding, I guess, is what you're trying to... Not a what?
Not eroding.
The family's doing fine.
The bonds, the familial bonds are tight.
They're immutable in that family.
They are strong as ever.
20% of the family has been shot, though.
Of the siblings, yes.
And apparently, the cops say that Roosevelt... Roosevelt's been involved in other robberies, too.
Yeah, he had a rap sheet.
He had a rap sheet, but he showed up... He tried to rob the wrong guy.
But the fellow who pulled the gun and shot him is not being considered culpable of any sort of crime.
Moving on to a different story.
Now this is something that appeared in one of our October 15th articles.
It's by Peter Bradley, who's a pretty regular contributor.
And I don't usually just whoop up our articles, but this one I think is worthwhile, because I'm a guy who likes data.
Oh yeah.
Data, data are wonderful.
And data are plural, by the way.
A single one is a datum.
But the data here are quite revealing.
In this article, Peter Bradley debunks the idea that the majority of welfare recipients are white.
And this is something that a lot of people believe.
I mean, people say, well, okay, I mean, after all, we're the majority of the population.
It's not surprising if we are the majority welfare recipients, even if Per capita usage differs from race to race, but...
There is no major welfare program for which whites are the majority recipient.
In many cases, they're not even the largest recipients.
Take, for example, TANF.
T-A-N-F.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
That's what people generally think of when they hear the word welfare.
Well, whites who, according to the tabulation by HHS, Health and Human Services, that put all these data together, whites are 60.4% of the population, but They are only 27.2% of the recipients of welfare.
Blacks are actually a greater percentage.
28.9%.
And then the Hispanics are the greatest percentage of all.
37.8%.
Despite the fact that, according to HHS, they're 18.3% of the population.
Let me repeat that.
Whites, who are still a majority, a lingering, clinging-to-the-edge-of-the-cliff majority, are only 27%.
Blacks are 29%.
Hispanics are 38% of recipients.
And that number is only going to increase, by the way.
Hispanics.
Oh yes, it will increase.
Now, as usual, Asians, despite being 6% of the population, are only 2% of the recipients.
So, they are, but you see, they are actually, proportionately, they are only slightly less likely than whites to be unwelfare, but they are less likely than whites.
And American Indians, it's interesting too, they're 1.3% of the population but 1.5% of the recipients.
I think this is probably because they get all of these special programs when they're on the reservation.
Correct.
So they don't have to get temporary assistance.
They probably don't qualify in a lot of cases because of all the things they get when they're on the reservation.
Probably so, yes.
Now, food stamps.
Whites, 60.4% of the population.
They are 36% the recipients.
Okay.
In this case, they are the largest absolute group, but blacks 25%, Hispanics 17%.
So, whites are still not the largest recipient.
Only 36%.
Medicaid.
Medicaid is the one in which whites have the largest Participation.
But still not a majority and still under their population proportion.
They are 41% of recipients.
Blacks are 30%.
In other words, whites are at two thirds of their percentage of the population.
Blacks are more than twice their participation.
Hispanics are also overrepresented at 20%.
Now, Section 8 housing.
I think this is pretty interesting too.
Whites are 30% of recipients.
Still a minority.
And the largest number, 42%.
In absolute terms, even though blacks are only 13% of the population, they account for the largest... Three times, basically.
More than three times.
What it works out to is they're about seven times more likely than whites to be in public housing or get on Section 8.
Yes.
Hispanics, 23%.
So blacks and Hispanics together, they account for 65% of people in public housing.
Despite the fact that there are still minorities.
Just to set the record straight on this idea that, oh, come on, it's white people who are always benefiting from welfare programs.
Not the case.
Now, I believe, now this is something we haven't gone into, but illegal immigrants, to a surprising degree, are also benefiting from these programs.
Yes, they are.
Even though they are not supposed to be on them.
And I believe you had some information for myself.
Yeah, I'd like to Throw some kudos to Ken Cuccinelli.
He is the acting director of President Trump's U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services.
He's actually on the short list to be the next head of the Department of Homeland Security.
And increasingly, I must say, I think he'd be a great one.
I agree.
I agree.
I think he'd be wonderful.
This happened on October 16th.
He stated that there are potentially 22 million illegal immigrants inside the United States, nearly twice the estimate regularly cited.
Now, what he did is he talked about that Massachusetts Institute of Technology study that you and I have mentioned numerous times on this program, so we're ahead of the curve, if you will, here at Renaissance Radio, or Radio Renaissance, depending on the day that we're talking.
So there was a lot of pushback because normally the number typically cited is 11 to 13 million illegal immigrants.
Even the Federation for American Immigration Reform, their latest estimate is only 14 million.
However, this MIT study, which Cuccinelli cited, he said that the larger potential number is important to cite because it's better to then be blind to how big the crisis could actually be.
He said, quote, I was just quoting the MIT study.
That's the one I know.
I just use it as a reference point because from an operational standpoint, it doesn't matter too much.
We deal with what's in front of us.
So that's the perspective that I bring to it.
It's useful to know it's an important thing at 100,000 foot level, end quote.
Actually, I think it's an important thing from any level, regardless of the altitude of when you're addressing the problem.
Because if it's a lot bigger, then, hey guys, it's time to stop doing this selective enforcement and realize we need to mass deportations.
Well, the other thing is, if, as all of the Democratic candidates have said, we're going to start ladling out free health care to illegal immigrants, isn't it worth knowing how many there are there?
You're talking about close, if it's at 22 million, what's the United States population, 330 million?
Something like that.
You're talking about what, that 7% increase if you're going to do a blanket amnesty?
That's right.
Back of the napkin math there, you know, 7-8%.
It's astonishing!
And to think that, well it was like the last time Immigrate, the last time there was the 1986 amnesty.
The amnesty was only expected to apply to about 1.6 million, 1.3 million.
We ended up getting three, three and a half million.
It's important to know how many are out there.
Well hey, one illegal alien getting citizenship is one too many.
The fact that Cuccinelli is citing this, kudos to Cuccinelli.
I agree 100%.
We have to have the facts.
But curiously, this is just another set of facts that the Democrats and Liberals almost seem to prefer not to know.
They'd rather not know how many there are.
I think they're happy that there are that many potential Americans that will be added to the voting registrations.
I think they are probably delighted.
They'd rather there were 20 million of them, 50 million of them.
They just don't want to talk about it too loudly when it comes to giving them free health care.
Anyway, and yes, our friend Victor Davis Hanson.
Well, no, I shouldn't call him a friend.
No, he's not a friend.
He's someone that I enjoy reading.
I actually just picked up a copy of Carnage and Culture.
It's got a fantastic chapter on the battle of... oh my gosh, I'm going to butcher the pronunciation because I have...
Lepanto?
Lepanto, yeah.
That's something you don't hear pronounced too much anymore because no one likes to talk about great battles in the Western history where we defeated... That's right.
If we defeated a non-white power, then that, you know, that was an act of aggression.
We have to apologize for it.
Yeah, of course.
We have to apologize for it.
As colonizers or as victors in battle, we must always be on the defense and just say, hey, that was our white privilege at play there.
No, he wrote something that I think is so profound because there's one key ingredient missing, and I just want to briefly just mention a couple of the passages.
I read it on Real Clear Politics on October 10th.
It was his column.
He's a syndicated columnist, Mr. Taylor, and dear listeners, and he's someone that I encourage our people to read.
He wrote a great book called Mexifornia.
He wrote Who Killed Homer?
and, like I said, the aforementioned Carnage and Culture.
This piece is titled, Members of Previous Generations Now Seem Like Giants.
I thought his opening couple paragraphs were profound.
I'd like to read them real quick and get your opinion.
Many of the stories about the gods and heroes of Greek mythology were compiled during Greek Dark Ages.
Impoverished tribes passed down oral traditions that originated after the fall of the lost palatial civilizations of the Mycenaean Greeks.
Dark Age Greeks tried to make sense of the massive ruins of their forgotten forebears' monumental palaces that were still standing around.
As literates, They were curious about occasional clay tablets they plowed up in their fields with incomprehensible ancient linear B inscriptions.
We of the 21st century are beginning to look back at our own lost epic times and wonder about these now nameless giants who left behind monuments that we cannot replicate, but instead merely use or even mock.
Does anyone believe that contemporary Americans could build another transcontinental railroad in six years?
America went to the moon in 1969 with supposedly primitive computers and backward engineering.
Does anyone believe we could launch a similar moonshot today?
No American has set foot on the moon in the last 47 years, and it may not happen in the next 50 years.
Now, he would go on and on to talk about other instances, other things that are happening, whether it's dams not being built in California in the past 40 years, and a lot of that might be due to environmental regulations that have been passed.
He talks about other massive projects, the San Francisco Bay Bridge.
He mentions, I think, the Hoover Dam.
All these just unbelievable projects that you do look upon.
You look at the fact that these were built My gosh, in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, it is astonishing when you look at what is not being built today.
Well, to me, one aspect of this that's so dispiriting is to look at the skyline of Shanghai, or at the United Arab Emirates.
These places, buildings skyscrapers taller than anything that you find in the United States, Richard.
You're talking about a place like Dubai, where you've got the Burj Khalifa, I believe that's what it's called.
Yes, yes.
And Taipei's got buildings that are taller than anything in the United States.
Trains, these bullet trains that are crisscrossing China and Japan.
And the Asians are doing extraordinary things.
You look at some of these enormous suspension bridges that they're putting across long, vast stretches of water.
When have we done anything remotely like that?
No, we just don't do those things anymore.
There was a bridge.
What was the city where the bridge built by the female engineering company collapsed?
Was that somewhere in Florida?
Was that Miami?
I don't know about this.
Okay.
Oh dear.
In the past year, anyways.
It sounds like you're suggesting stereotypes here.
I'm not suggesting any stereotypes.
In fact, whether they're factual, we're not going to violate anything, any codes of conduct.
No stereotypes on this program.
Well, I would like to say, the thing that Victor Davis, he comes to the precipice, he comes to the edge.
Of mentioning the unmentionable, which so many quote-unquote conservatives, so many Republicans, they just can't grasp.
And that is what is fundamentally at every question surrounding America's decline.
Demography is destiny.
And, you know, what he's writing about reminds me of what the Napoleonic expedition to Egypt found.
When the French showed up and they got to the pyramids, They found this group of nomads encamped at the base of the pyramids who had absolutely no idea who had put these things up, absolutely could not read anything that was written in the ancient languages.
And I can imagine that today, that people who will eventually be living in the United States of America, walking through the ruins of Manhattan, utterly incapable of comprehending what this was all about.
It's not difficult for me to imagine.
Well, there's an interesting fiction written, gosh, maybe 70s, maybe even the 60s, called The Earth Abides, and it's about some sort of cataclysmic event that destroys civilization as we know it.
There's few survivors, and it's written through the perspective of this individual who's kind of the narrator, and he ages, and as he's about to die, you know, there's vines that are going up the Empire State Building or whatever city, whether it's Chicago or wherever it is, you know, they're There's growth throughout all these skyscrapers and the young people in this world look at what you just talked about.
They look at these skyscrapers and they look at this old guy who's about to die as a relic because they have no idea.
It's incomprehensible to them the civilization that he came from and that they were capable of.
That's right.
Alas, I can imagine this all too easily.
And what you talk about the Greek Dark Ages, for several hundred years, the Greeks lost the ability to read and write.
These things can happen.
And they have on the island of Crete the wreckage of the Mycenaean civilization.
They have what's called Agamemnon's Palace.
It's really quite a remarkable building.
And it's not nearly as grandiose as the pyramids, of course, but I can imagine these poor benighted Greeks wandering around looking at these stones piled up.
They have no idea how it happened.
No idea how it could be done.
Maybe Martians did it.
Who knows?
But, yes, we are degenerating in a remarkable way.
And it's almost against the rules to speculate as to why.
All we dare say is demography is destiny.
It's not almost against the rules to say why.
It is against the rules to say why.
That's why we're seeing...
Such massive censorship across the board, Mr. Taylor.
Yes, yes.
OK, so we have one final story.
This is another aspect that contributes to decline.
This was an article on motherhood that was published by the Australian Broadcasting Company, ABC, the government broadcaster of Australia.
And the title, the title of this article is I'm burnt out.
I'm tired.
This is in quotation marks.
Then after the colon, why some young women don't see motherhood as realistic.
And it goes on to explain that this is about, quote, the pressure to obtain career security before starting a family leaves Rachel, that's the person who is interviewed here at the beginning, feeling overwhelmed.
Let's get that.
The pressure to obtain career security before starting a family leaves Rachel feeling overwhelmed.
Rachel Clements is an Australian woman living and who has gotten the qualifications to be an architect.
They quote her as saying, and she's only in her mid-twenties, and they quote her as saying, I'm burnt out.
I'm tired.
Mid-twenties.
Whether my partner and I want to start a family, it definitely plays into the worry of what the next 10 years look like.
Then she goes on to say, if you're going to take a year off work to have a family, it inevitably puts something on the back burner, and often that's career progress.
Rachel and her husband Daniel are now considering alternatives, including adoption and egg freezing.
Now, there are other young women who told the Australian Broadcasting Company they felt pressured to race up the career ladder before they risked being set back by maternity leave and the responsibilities of being parents.
And they quote Kate Lee from an agency called the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, Taking time out of the workforce means that often workplaces forget about that person.
While they're out of sight, they're out of mind.
All of this has created a trend among young professional women being overworked and burned out.
This is tragic.
There are these women, no doubt they're smart, no doubt they're capable, but they're going to put May I say, the reason we are on Earth.
They're going to put the reason we are on Earth on hold while they establish their careers.
And for some of them, it's going to be too late.
They'll never be mothers.
I read an article about one of the writers for Sex and the City, a popular show in the aughts.
She's 60 now and she regrets putting her career ahead of having children because she has nothing except for a box of wine.
Yep, yep.
I remember that too.
This is not uncommon.
And yet, we get this constant message, especially to women, that having children, having children... Here, listen to this.
CNBC, they published an article called, the title is, You Can Save Half a Million Dollars if You Don't Have Kids!
You see that all the time, actually.
I've actually seen the number far greater because of what it does to your lifetime earning potential.
800,000.
Yeah.
Why not 5 million?
Depending on how much you think you can earn if you get one of those cushy jobs.
And in this, in the CNBC article, this is even worse.
She writes, breezily, your friends may tell you having kids made them happier.
They're probably lying.
Can you believe that just the breathtaking arrogance of someone saying such a thing?
Now, I don't know if I've said this on this program before, having children is the greatest thing in my life.
I've got two children.
I wish I had five.
It is absolutely great.
You're a father.
It is the greatest possible thing.
And for people to be telling to women, women who have, I think, a stronger instinct, you know, I didn't even much think about it before they came along, and all of a sudden, wow, what a wonderful thing they are.
We forget.
Our audience, we always think that because we've read a book, we've seen a movie, we've watched a program, that everybody that encounters our content has seen the same thing.
And I get a lot of people who write to me at BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, that's BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Stay in touch so you know what's going on with the podcast.
But people write and say, hey, what was that book that you mentioned?
What was the book that Mr. Taylor said?
What was that?
I'd like to know more about that.
Well, I'd encourage all of our listeners to pause one more time, pause the podcast, and look up the movie Idiocracy on YouTube.
And just watch Idiocracy, the Introduction.
It's a movie that came out in 2006 by Matt Judge, and it is about basically Dysgenics for lack of a better term and it takes a look at two white families and one of the white families has a they're two high IQ white individuals who decide to delay having children and then it juxtaposes that with two lower IQ whites who have a large number of children and it's beautifully done there's nothing
Racist about it because it's looked at through the prism of white couples having children or not having children.
And if you've not seen that, it is brilliant.
I still can't believe to this day that movie was made.
And I think if you haven't seen this clip, you'll want to watch the movie.
And I do encourage that.
It is a terrible shame that these smart, attractive, young white people are putting off having children, maybe not having children at all, in this idea that they are under some sort of obligation to climb up the top of the corporate pyramid.
But the fact is the problem is even worse for black and Hispanic women.
Black and Hispanic, college-educated blacks, they have some of the lowest fertility rates of anybody.
It's a real problem for people of all races, this idea that women, they're supposed to put career first.
And as I say, we are on earth to create more of ourselves.
That is really the great biological purpose we are here for.
And if people don't do that, civilization, the nation, the community, just comes screeching to a stop.
And all of these articles about how, no, no, it's going to cost you money, and even if people think that, tell you that they have a wonderful time with their children, ah, they're lying.
Well, that's just grotesquely insulting to me.
But, anyway, we are coming to the end of our podcast, and once again, we urge you in these increasingly uncertain times... Especially as we get closer to the election and we see more tampering of voices that counter both the Republican and Democrat talking points by pointing out that, hey, ladies and gentlemen, Demography is destiny.
Yeah, better not say that too often, but we will, we'll say it one way or another, but it may be necessary to communicate with you directly when we post a video or post a podcast.
And so please be sure to send your email addresses to the contact us tab at amran.com.
And also an alternative is because we live here at protonmail.com.
And please send us your questions.
We have been neglectful about asking for your questions, but we always love to hear from you, and we will do our best to answer any interesting and worthy question that comes our way.
We've got a bunch saved up.
We will get to them next week.
Is it Halloween week next week?
No, it's two weeks from now.
Anyways, so for Mr. Taylor, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Our podcast time is up.
