	Well, we're going to start this episode with a little bit of talk about Mexico.
	I believe you'll all remember El Chapo.
	El Chapo Guzman.
	He was the boss of the Sinaloa cartel.
	He was a very famous narco-trafficker, quite well known and admired.
	He was the subject of narco-corridas, as they called these special songs glorifying the The heads of these cartels and he was sort of an escape artist.
	You know, the Mexicans would nab him and he would perform some miraculous escape.
	They'd nab him again and off he'd go.
	Well, they finally caught him in 2016 and this time they gave up.
	They figured we can't hold this guy.
	He's too slippery for Mexico.
	So they extradited him to the United States in 2017.
	He went on trial and he got a life sentence plus 30 years just to make sure.
	Now, he is in a Supermax Federal Prison in Colorado.
	And that means that he is under supervision 23 hours a day.
	All of the inmates are in single cells, and he gets an hour of exercise.
	And it's interesting, some of his schoolmates are in there.
	He's in there with Zacharias Moussaoui.
	Remember him?
	He was the 20th 2001 September 11 hijacker who missed the plane.
	on a 2001 September 11 hijacker who missed the plane.
	There's Richard Reed, the shoe bomber.
	And there's also Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
	He's the guy who set off the bomb at the Boston Marathon.
	There's Terry Nichols.
	He was one of the guys who blew up the Murrah Building.
	And he's in there for what appears to be the longest time.
	He's serving 161 consecutive life sentences.
	So I suspect he'll be in there for a long time.
	Dwight York, he's my favorite of all of the inmates in this Supermax.
	He's the founder and the leader of the Nuwabian Nation.
	That was a black supremacist cult It was in Eatonton, Georgia.
	They had several hundred people there.
	He got caught for sex trafficking of little boys and various other bad things.
	He, though, is serving merely a 135-year sentence, which means he's scheduled for release on June 7th of 2122.
	If he makes it for that long.
	In any case, enough about El Chapo and his accommodations as a guest of the United States government.
	Well, ever since he left cartel management, the place has been taken over by his children, his sons.
	And they are known as Los Chapitos, which means the Little Chapos.
	Well, Chapo already is pretty small.
	Chapo means shorty, because apparently El Chapo is a short guy, but Los Chapitos are even the little shorties.
	Well, one of the little shorties is named Ovidio Guzman.
	And there's an extradition order to the U.S.
	on him, and he was hanging out in the city of Culiacán in Sinaloa last week, and 35 elite Mexican military troops attacked the house where he was with three others, and they caught him.
	Well, what they thought was going to be a spectacular success and ship this guy up to the United States, where even this slippery El Chapito was not going to get away, Well, this led to a counterattack by the Sinaloa Boys who surrounded the house.
	Not only did they do that, they fanned out all through the streets of this city.
	They blocked intersections.
	They closed toll booths.
	They burned cars.
	And at the same time, they organized an inmate riot in the local prison.
	And they took weapons from the guards and 56 dangerous prisoners got away.
	And as of press time, 49 are still on the loose.
	Well, residents of this town took videos of the chaos in the city.
	Mexicans all across the country watched online.
	They got these live streaming glimpses of the cartels taking over the city.
	Apparently they were driving around with 50 caliber machine guns.
	They had grenade launchers.
	They really went about it in a big way.
	But, and so the Mexican authorities decided no mas.
	They couldn't take it.
	And so they decided rather than go to war, they were going to release this little chapito.
	So, El Chapo's son is back at the head of the cartel.
	They decided to give up, they threw up their hands, and as President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador explained, they had to let him go to protect the lives of the people.
	We don't want victims.
	We don't want a war, he says.
	And so the federal police and these super-trained 35-year elite squad, they slunk off after having left half a dozen guys dead on the battlefield.
	So it was a complete across-the-board victory for the Sinaloa cartel.
	It's an anarcho-state is what you're saying.
	This is what's on our borders, ladies and gentlemen.
	This is what's on our borders.
	And I thought this was quite interesting as well.
	After Ovidio Guzman was released, residents of the town of Culiacan, they filled the WhatsApp with messages celebrating the defeat of the government forces.
	So we know who's popular in Mexico.
	So that was just an interesting dispatch from our southern neighbor, our southern border.
	And I guess that contributes to something that I have to talk about next, which is the number of Mexican migrants who are coming our way.
	As we will all recall, thanks to the Mexican government, actually, the Central Americans, who had been the number one Fencehoppers have been really they've been pushed way back and now Mexicans are back in the lead.
	Now as we will recall the agreement that we had from Mexico after our fearless president Donald Trump threatened to tax the imports from Mexico that really got their attention.
	Almost overnight, if you remember.
	That's one of his biggest victories.
	I agree.
	Since he's been president was how quickly he got the Mexican government to capitulate faster on tariffs than the special forces did when they were fighting the cartel there.
	They actually put up a bigger fight than they did against President Trump's threats of tariffs.
	That's right.
	They keeled over in an instant and what that means is now the Mexicans have National Guard forces on their southern border keeping the Central Americans from coming in and they also have them on their northern border keeping them within Mexico and also we have this remain in Mexico system in force so that if you're a Central American and you're applying for asylum you have to stay in Mexico.
	Now, all of this, of course, is dependent on the Mexicans continuing cooperation with us.
	Now, what this means, however, is that all of these procedures are utterly ineffective when it comes to Mexicans.
	The other thing that's holding the Central Americans in Mexico is the fact that they have not applied for asylum in the first safe country they came to.
	Well, what happens if Mexicans show up applying for asylum?
	Well, the Mexican government can't tell their own citizens to not cross the border.
	And also, if they're coming straight from Mexico to the United States, we can't say, hey, you failed to apply for asylum on the way.
	You transited through El Salvador or Nicaragua.
	You apply for asylum there.
	No, we can't do that.
	And so that means, and this has been little reported in the news, There are thousands of Mexican adults and children camping out in queues at the U.S.
	border, sleeping in tents, waiting for a chance to apply for asylum.
	I mean, it's just a physical blockage.
	We just can't handle them rapidly enough.
	And now they are declaring a fear of persecution or harm.
	And that means you can't just give them the boot.
	You can't say, go back, if they say the magic word, asylum.
	Now, what this means is their requests for asylum are adding to the backlog of nearly 1 million pending cases.
	The last time we talked about it was about 900,000.
	Correct.
	And it just seems to climb every day.
	Nearly 1 million pending cases in U.S.
	immigration courts and by law.
	By law.
	And by treaty agreement.
	We have to process these cases.
	And you know what happens when we do that.
	We have to let them loose because if they're families we can't keep them in jail for more than 20 days because of the florist agreement.
	Then they disappear into the countryside.
	We never see them or any of their family members again.
	That's what happens now.
	Apparently there's an interesting thing going on.
	People have been going to municipal offices within Mexico.
	These are Mexicans who've got their eye on going to El Norte.
	And you can understand why, given the story we talked about just now about El Chapito having been turned back over to who are the real authorities in Sinaloa, namely the cartel.
	And ordinary people just don't care for that.
	Although, as it turns out, the people of the city were celebrating when El Chapito got turned back over.
	I got released.
	But in any case, people have been going to municipal offices looking for documentation that might help them in asylum cases.
	And they're perfectly prepared to have these things hokeyed up.
	Women are marching into these municipal offices and asking for a certification that their husbands beat them.
	Or their boyfriends beat them.
	Oh my goodness.
	And the municipal officers are just scratching their heads.
	Well, yeah, we don't do this.
	And they were completely taken aback until it turned out that, oh, OK, they're looking for some kind of documentation to bolster their phony asylum claim.
	And also, just a little piquant detail here that I felt that our listeners should be notified of.
	These Mexicans, of course, don't require smugglers.
	Because they're already in Mexico, they can travel very freely through Mexico.
	They show up, and in fact, there's now a commercial bus line.
	It's operated by Mexican Travel Agency.
	It shuttles people directly to Tijuana and other border towns, offering what they call a door-to-door package.
	So, the crisis that we thought was waning, it is true, thanks to the Mexicans.
	There are fewer Central Americans beating on our door, but now Mexicans are claiming asylum.
	You know, it seems to me that traditionally the United States government has been able to say, OK, this country is OK.
	You can't come from, and the classic example is South Africa.
	There have been white South Africans who complain about the very, very real threat of racial oppression, terrorism, even murder at the hands of the black majority.
	I'm not aware of a single case of a black South African who successfully applied for asylum because we have this blanket decision, South Africa is a safe place, no asylum.
	And I don't understand why we can't make that declaration about Mexico, but we haven't.
	In any case, so the crisis is brewing yet again on the southern border and I see no sign of it going away.
	Now, what does this crisis bring?
	Well, it brings Wilbur Martinez Guzman.
	He is a 20-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador.
	And between January 10th and 15th of this year, he went on a murder rampage in Washoe County, Nevada.
	That's where Reno is.
	It's up in the northern part of the state in a place called Gardnerville.
	Well, Gardnerville, until Wilbur Martinez Guzman showed up with one of those lovely places where people just leave their doors unlocked.
	Nobody's ever heard of a murder.
	Well, he murdered a 56-year-old woman, Connie Koontz, 74-year-old woman, Sophia Rankin, 81-year-old Gerald David, and his 80-year-old wife, Sharon David, because, as prosecutors later found, he was stealing money from his victims because he wanted to buy meth.
	He's a meth user.
	An illegal immigrant using meth Well, the only reason I bring this guy up.
	There have been some recent filings in his case.
	The public defenders are really going to town with this guy.
	And one of the things that they've done is filed a motion for a continuance on the trial.
	It was scheduled to start April 6th, 2020.
	I mean, that seems plenty of time to prepare for this guy's defense.
	They want to delay it until February 2021.
	Why such a long delay?
	Well, public defenders have taken a trip to El Salvador.
	That's on your and my dime too, Mr. Kersey.
	They took a trip to El Salvador.
	They interviewed family members and they reviewed his medical files.
	Why'd they do all this?
	Because they found what they call tantalizing indications That he is constitutionally barred from capital punishment.
	Which is, of course, what the authorities want.
	For this guy, these home invasions, these cold-blooded murders of four white people.
	They wanted to send him to the... Old Sparky, I'll go though.
	Nobody goes to Old Sparky anymore.
	Well, so they've decided that Martinus Guzman, he is intellectually disabled.
	Which makes him inevitable... I'm sorry.
	That was a slip of the tongue.
	Ineligible.
	For the death penalty.
	And they say, snooping around El Salvador all this time, that they've gathered information that says, suggests his IQ is much lower than originally believed.
	Now, I don't know what they based that on.
	And that he may have been exposed to pesticides and fertilizers while working in the farm fields in his native country.
	So, I mean, this, you know, as a parenthetical point, the theory, of course, is that if your IQ is below a certain level, you are not responsible for what you do and you can't be killed.
	What does that mean?
	You got to be locked up?
	I mean, I don't know.
	I've never thought of that as a real A legitimate defense against the death penalty.
	But the people who hate the death penalty across the board, they will clutch at straws if they want anything at all to keep somebody from going to his maker.
	Now, this is what the Washoe County Public Defender, John Arascotta, wrote in his recent motion.
	There could be no greater insult to public justice than to execute someone that, as a matter of law, is ineligible for capital punishment because they say he's intellectually disabled.
	Now, my question to you My listeners, and Mr. Kersey, how come they can't just give him an IQ test?
	I mean, he's Spanish speaking, that we understand, but there's Raven's Progressive Matrices.
	Raven's Progressive Matrices is this series of increasingly difficult pattern recognition tests that you can give to somebody that doesn't even speak your language.
	Why can't they do this?
	Why do they have to go all the way to El Salvador to get information on this guy to tell us that he's intellectually disabled?
	Can't we assess him right here in the United States?
	Well, his lawyers said that even with the aid and support of the El Salvadorian consulate, they've had a hard time getting his medical and school records.
	Why do they need them?
	Yeah, that seems irrelevant.
	Yeah, they said that they've hired a Spanish-speaking neuropsychologist and mitigation specialist.
	Whatever, a mitigation specialist, I do not know.
	This guy figures that if all goes well, they could have a report by next May.
	Next May.
	And then maybe, testify competently, next summer.
	So we're talking about 7 to 11 months from now to even get this going.
	To get this going.
	Unreal.
	Now, of course, the Spanish-speaking neuropsychologist and mitigation specialist, I assume he's charging at least $200 an hour.
	So the longer this can be stretched out, the better.
	Well, and if the continuance is denied, if the judge says, no, no, no, no, no, no, shake a leg boys, get this guy on trial, that would, according to the motion, deny the expert the necessary information and testing required to prepare and complete his report.
	And if the trial date remains unchanged, he would testify with virtually no preparation or foundation.
	So there you go.
	That's the latest development in the case of this lovely lad, Wilbur Martinez Guzman, who left four white people dead.
	And that was early this year in Nevada, right?
	In January in Nevada.
	We talked about that.
	Yes, we did talk about that.
	One thing that we did get a chance to talk about real quick, I want to throw in, I'd be remiss if we didn't point out something you foreshadowed Unfortunately, if you're an astute listener, Mr. Taylor talked about what Mexicans, of course, are doing a great job in stopping Central Americans.
	Increasingly, Africans.
	We're seeing Africans try and come across the Atlantic to try and sneak into the country illegally or to claim asylum.
	One thing that you said was, what if we start to see Mexicans leaving this failed state of Mexico claiming asylum?
	Which, by all intents and purposes, Mexico is a failed state right now.
	This was a real black eye at any spell.
	Self-respecting government, isn't it?
	They send in the special forces and they get outgunned and clear out.
	Turn over their prize captive.
	In 2018, there were Logged within the criminal justice system there in Mexico, 33,341 murders according to their national system of public security.
	That translates to a murder rate of 25.8 per 100,000 and I believe the United States For the entire country, it's about 4 per 100,000.
	Of course, if we break it up by race, it's going to be completely different.
	A horse of a different color, if I can use that comparison.
	No, no, you can't.
	I guess I can't.
	But through this year, through July of 2019, Mexico actually had increased the murder rate.
	Mexico actually had increased the murder rate.
	It was up 5.3% at the same time as the prior year, which was the most violent in the nation's
	history when it wasn't going through some sort of revolution.
	Yeah, well, it seems to go up every year, doesn't it?
	Well, that means that their murder rate is about five times, six times the U.S.
	murder rate.
	As you point out, the current murder rate of four or five per 100,000 in the United States.
	If you just take whites, it's in the two area.
	Yes.
	But anyway, so these lovely people are coming our way.
	But once they're here, don't Hispanics commit aggression against whites in a disproportionate manner?
	They do.
	Our listeners might recall that we talked about the fantastic piece that Heather McDonald wrote for
	City Journal a couple weeks ago when she broke down the Bureau of Justice statistics,
	which showed that blacks were 47, blacks committed, when we're talking about whites and blacks,
	blacks committed violent acts against whites 90% of the time. There were, let's see if I remember
	the stats exactly, yes, in 2018 the criminal victimization, 2018 survey of criminal victimization
	showed that there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations excluding homicide
	between blacks and whites.
	Which means that blacks committed 537, 204 of those interracial felonies, or 90%.
	Lost in this data was something that a guy named Daniel Horowitz noted over at Conservative Review.
	And I thought this was very good.
	He noted that there were, he had a graph that breaks down black-on-white attacks, black-on-Hispanic, white-on-black, white-on-Hispanic, and Hispanic-on-Hispanic.
	Now, I'm sorry, Hispanic-on-white.
	Now where I'm going with this is that according to this same interracial violent crime incident survey, there were 572,403 interracial violent victimizations, excluding homicide again, between Hispanics and whites in 2018.
	victimizations excluding homicide again between Hispanics and whites in 2018.
	Hispanics committed 365, 299 of those interracial felonies or 64 percent so
	that means that Hispanics were 5.9 times more likely to commit violent crimes
	against whites than vice versa.
	Exactly.
	Now, just to put that into context, because context, ladies and gentlemen, is king.
	Blacks were 47 times more likely.
	To commit violent crimes against whites in 2018.
	Now we hear constantly since President Trump was inaugurated back in 2017, January 20th, that there's this massive increase in hate crimes.
	White people wearing MAGA hats, white people, you've got Proud Boys running around, you've got Alt-Right, you've got whatever you want to say.
	There's this violence happening.
	Well, ladies and gentlemen, what we just talked about, this comes from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
	We're talking about 90% of black and white violent crime is black against white, and 64% of violent crimes between Hispanics and whites That's right.
	That's right.
	What does that mean to you, Mr. Taylor?
	It's hugely, hugely disproportionate.
	Now, we all are supposed to be wringing our hands over the fact of hate crimes in the United States.
	What no one ever calculates when these hate crime reports come out.
	And for the most part, they're useless because the collection of data is in a very, very haphazard and different way Some agencies send it in, some agencies don't.
	Some big police agencies report no hate crimes at all.
	Correct.
	Others report a lot.
	It's very haphazard.
	But even given the data we have, what you end up discovering is that blacks are on a per capita basis usually two to three times more likely than whites to commit a hate crime.
	Nobody ever looks at that.
	That is one of the facts.
	The other is It seems to me that if a hate crime is such a terrifying thing, is it not terrifying when violence crosses racial lines?
	If we're worried about the race relations of the United States being disturbed by violent crime, Maybe we should have enhanced penalties whenever violence simply crosses racial lines.
	What about that?
	Steve Saylor's made that point over and over again.
	He thinks that that should be the way that things work.
	But of course, just like with cops wearing body cameras, we're going to find out that increasingly it's not white people being punished.
	Or it destroys that narrative.
	Pattern recognition sets in.
	I made that point back in 1994 when he came up with the very first color of crime report.
	If we're worried about what interracial crime does to race relations, Who cares if in the process of committing a crime somebody used a racial slur?
	If you are a woman and you've been gang raped by a group of people of another race, doesn't that do damage to race relations whether they said anything racial or not?
	Doesn't it?
	That is where the enhanced penalty should be.
	But the liberals will never go for this because, as you pointed out just now, when it comes to Violent crime that crosses racial lines between blacks and whites.
	Who are the offenders?
	Blacks.
	90% of the time.
	So they would be the ones who would get enhanced penalties for that.
	Not whites.
	And especially when you would be able to break it down by cities if the government actually did that.
	And you would see that these urban areas were supposed to, they're supposed to be so tolerant and shining examples of the diversity, this utopian environment that is America's post-white future.
	We'd see that a place like New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Atlanta.
	I think you'd see a shocking amount of black on homosexual if you were able to break it down that way.
	Yes, you can.
	That's what the hate crimes reports also find.
	That when you look at crimes against homosexuals and the really rather small number of crimes committed against handicapped people.
	Those are hate crimes too, you know.
	Those are vastly disproportionately committed by blacks rather than whites.
	Nobody ever talks about this stuff.
	Well, it's funny.
	I have seen someone talk about it, and I would challenge you, because you do such wonderful videos, to actually do something on this.
	Have you seen or have you read about the crisis of black transgenders who have been murdered this year?
	Oh, yes, yes.
	Every time a transgendered person is killed, then that is big news, of course, and I understand that, what is it, it is black men who have become women, and they are being killed at quite a clip.
	You know, nobody ever talks about who is doing the killing, but I have my suspicions as to who it is.
	Well, and sometimes the article, obviously it's a buried lead, inverted pyramid, that should be the most important point as to, like you said, who exactly is committing these homicides.
	Turns out that it's almost always black men.
	Normally, the details are unfortunate to bring up, but it's a prostitution type situation, and the guy finds out.
	Whoa, wait a second!
	I can imagine a certain amount of surprise and frustration, but it should not lead to hunger.
	It should not.
	No, it should not.
	But be that as it may.
	Well, we live in troubled times.
	There's no question about it.
	And the troubles manifest themselves in all sorts of shocking and surprising ways.
	But to return to our theme of Hispanics in America, One of the reasons, no doubt, that so many of them want to show up is there has been heartwarming news about the average revenues of Latino-owned small businesses.
	That has to do with restaurants, retail stores, little construction companies, other small businesses.
	Their revenue has increased over the past year by 46.5% That's a lot.
	That's nearly a 50% increase in revenue on the average.
	And this surpassed revenue growth in non-Latino businesses by about 15%.
	So, non-Latino small businesses were doing well by maybe about 30-32%.
	Hispanics increased their revenue by 46.5%.
	Well, why is this?
	Apparently, one of the big impetuses for this increase is the approvals and access to loans from the Small Business Administration.
	The SBA has this minority outreach program, and they've really been pumping up the program to pour dollars into small businesses that are run by Hispanics.
	So, yet another impetus, of course, to cross the border and come our way, if you are Mexican or any other kind of Hispanic.
	So, that pretty much wraps up our series on Hispanics coming our way.
	And I'd like to move on to a different interesting story about YouTube algorithms.
	Now, YouTube, which is of course owned by Google, has become something of a media powerhouse.
	Political discussion, however, on YouTube, according to all the scholars, is dominated by right-wing channels.
	Now, they offer what the academics concede is an ideological alternative to established news.
	And, in a recent paper just written by Penn State political scientists Kevin Munger and Joseph Phillips, we learn that They are almost the new mainstream.
	They say that the so-called alternative news channels on YouTube have surpassed the big three U.S.
	cable news in terms of their coverage and viewership.
	YouTube alternative media, conservative media beats out the three U.S.
	cable channels.
	The usual view had been that all of these wicked conservatives and right-wingers had become popular because of YouTube's recommendation algorithms.
	However, these scholars find that that's not the case at all.
	Or at least they certainly don't think it's the case.
	They say this thesis largely grew out of media speculation has never been rigorously tested.
	And to quote them, they say, We think that this theory has rapidly gained a place in the center of the study of media and politics on YouTube because it obviously implies an obvious policy solution.
	In other words, just change the algorithm.
	And it's a theory that's very flattering to journalists and academics who are studying the phenomenon.
	In other words, the journalists can say, eh, it's the algorithm.
	They don't have to say, gee, maybe these guys are saying something that's more interesting and more relevant and more to the point than what we're saying.
	Oh, it's the algorithm.
	Blame the algorithm.
	Well, what this paper suggests is that What is called a radicalization on YouTube stems from the same factors that persuade people to change their minds in real life.
	Wait a second.
	They're getting new information.
	Which was the exact reason I've said it many times in this program.
	That was why one of the first people who was targeted was a guy by the name of Alex Jones down there in Austin, Texas.
	He was somebody who had escaped the realm of conspiracism and he was starting to look at the issues that People, like us, care about it.
	And it really started when he started noting what was going on in South Africa.
	And this guy has influenced a lot of people within the so-called Beltway.
	Obviously, he was targeted for a digital assassination, and it was quite effective.
	But you know what?
	He's still plugging along.
	He's still doing great work.
	So, the one thing, you know, we're not going to talk about censorship at all that much, but it is important that people out there who are seeing their platforms erased don't get discouraged.
	You don't have any power right now, and free speech, it doesn't apply to you.
	That's not the way this game works.
	You are facing a situation where the The elite, whatever you want to call them, it's an oligarch, and they are going to do everything that they can to, like Mr. Taylor just noted, they're going to blame everything possible except for having to interact with our ideas.
	They do not want to do that.
	That's right.
	And I think it's fascinating that they have decided, oh, it's the algorithm.
	Whereas, as this study points out, since 2017, the global hourly viewership of these conservative and what they call outright channels has consistently eclipsed the viewership of the top three U.S.
	cable networks combined.
	So, this is very interesting.
	Now, there is a footnote to add to the whole algorithm question, and that is the fact that recently, YouTube has been clearly tweaking its algorithms such that American Renaissance videos and podcasts no longer get suggested at anywhere near the rate they were before.
	The algorithms are clearly tilted against us.
	If you look at our viewership or listenership statistics, and the statistics are available in a very, very detailed way, you can see a sudden drop when YouTube is making its suggestions for people to continue watching in some particular subject.
	It's clear that they shuffle our material to the bottom of the deck before they deal it out.
	There's been a real distinct change.
	So, the algorithms, in fact, are working very much against us.
	And, of course, they have to do that because our content is so much more interesting.
	And I think it's remarkable that these people have discovered that.
	Hats off to them.
	And also the point that they have made is that the viewers of what they call alt-right or white nationalist videos are significantly more engaged.
	than the viewers of other stuff, based on an analysis of the ratios of likes and comments on their videos.
	And we can certainly say the same thing about American Renaissance material.
	The number of likes, the number of comments.
	And as these authors say, for these far-right groups, the audience is treating it much more as interactive space.
	And this could lead to the creation of a community And according to these reports, this is much more potent as a persuasive force than any recommendation system.
	So we'll see.
	The fact that we have viewer engagement, viewers like it, and as we very much hope you will do, please, if you like what you hear on our podcast, if you go to our videos and watch them and you like them, please send links to your friends because the platforms are not going to do it.
	So we are counting on you.
	No, and more importantly, if you really like what we do, like the video, leave a comment, subscribe to the channel.
	We're referring to the medium of YouTube.
	Remember, these podcasts are available in a lot of other places.
	They're available on the AmRim.com website and other platforms.
	So, we're just trying to stress, because there are 12,000 plus wonderful individuals from around the world who are subscribed to this channel, Get in touch with us, because that is a large number of people.
	That is a community right there, Mr. Taylor.
	Think about it.
	You have over 100,000 subscribers on your main channel.
	I guess YouTube never sent you one of those cool little 100,000 subscriber...
	No, no.
	Plaques?
	No, apparently there's this little silver plaque that you get, you're supposed to get when you get past $100,000.
	It's quite an honor.
	Well, I suppose it used to be, but they decide.
	Just the fact of getting over $100,000 is not enough.
	They have to decide whether you merit one.
	If they don't like you, $100,000, too bad.
	You don't get one.
	I want to go back to something I brought up earlier about the whole censorship, what's going on and de-platforming.
	Think about someone that was a guest on this podcast about a month ago, Colin Flaherty.
	He has been de-platformed six different times from YouTube.
	This is a guy who had amassed, I think it's in the tens of millions of views.
	Yes.
	Well over, I think he had at one point over a million subscribers.
	It was a shocking number.
	And this was a one-man operation.
	This is a guy, and it's not a secret, he's in Wilmington, Delaware.
	Smoking a cigar right now, I bet.
	Making his videos.
	He's just putting out this content on a daily basis.
	It's phenomenal and he continues to do it regardless of all of the obstacles that have been put his way in the digital walls and the digital rug that's been pulled out of his legs and he falls down into abyss.
	But you know what?
	He grabs onto the ledge and he finds some other way to continue to disseminate these ideas because, Mr. Taylor, he has built a community.
	And, as these Penn State political scientists, Kevin Munger and Joseph Phillips, have explained, because he offers new information, new perspectives.
	Fancy that!
	People want to know the truth!
	My gosh, my gosh!
	The rabble, the people that they're supposed to do as their overlords tell them to do, actually want to know the truth!
	That's got to be stopped, all right.
	Well, more interesting truths here.
	There was a heartwarming article at Vice, the title of which, let me read to you, it's called, My Black Therapist, My Black Therapist Helped Me Accept My Distrust of White People.
	This is written by a black Canadian by the name of Noel Ransom who is basically a professional black person.
	All he writes about is what it's like to be black and of course what it's like to be white because they all know what it's like to be white too.
	They can tell us what it's like to be white even though we can't tell them what it's like to be black.
	In any case, he was seeing a therapist who of course was black.
	And they both agree.
	I don't trust white people.
	Here it is.
	She says that, I nod back to her, he writes.
	So it's okay to feel that way.
	And he feels so relieved.
	It's okay not to trust white people.
	He goes on to write, as my therapist informed me, it's natural for me to feel fear around white folks who share the privileges of those who have dehumanized blackness.
	Then he goes on to say, I'm still performing my version of healing by putting it out there without feeling guilty.
	He is healing.
	By deciding, hey, it's okay.
	It's okay to be distrustful of white people.
	That's liberation for him.
	Liberation for him.
	Now, as he says about whites, they can afford to ignore their own prejudice.
	And that's a privilege I'll never be afforded as a black man living in this country.
	Well, he got it precisely the wrong way around.
	Black people can express their contempt for whites anytime.
	You remember white people fatigue?
	That was a popular thing at one time.
	Black people, oh, they've been around white people too long.
	I'm suffering from white people fatigue.
	We'll spend a few minutes on black Twitter.
	Unfortunately, of course, you have a lifetime ban.
	But you can just go to black Twitter and you can talk about white people tears or white fragility.
	Yes.
	It's astonishing what you can find.
	You can vent your hatred for whites.
	Again, it's amazing that this guy can write this with a straight face.
	White people can afford to ignore their own prejudice and that's a privilege I'll never be afforded as a black man.
	No, no.
	In fact, he can write this article that says, I'm happy, I feel relieved, saying that I don't trust white people.
	Imagine a white person writing an article like that.
	I can't.
	Imagine that!
	He's got it completely the wrong way around.
	It's just astonishing.
	White people, of course, they've got to be working, fighting their inherent racism, dawn till dark, every day of their life, never quite achieving that state of non-racism.
	Well, Robert Francis O'Rourke, better O'Rourke, as he's known to the masses, the Democratic presidential candidate, when he's not articulating a viewpoint of confiscating AR-15s or AK-47s
	from law-abiding citizens, primarily white Americans who legally own a
	firearm. He's talking about how it's not enough just to be, to say that you're not
	racist, but you must be anti-racist. That's what you must achieve and he's
	advocating this as the new position when it comes to being, you know, ambivalent as a
	white person because only obviously white people can be racist. So that's his
	new platform. And of course I think he's polling, is he under 1%
	right now?
	I hope so.
	I hope so.
	But he is expressing the fashionable view.
	Yes he is.
	And then there's this woman Robin DiAngelo.
	She is the inventor of this concept of white fragility.
	White fragility is yet another way to pester and torment white people.
	If you accuse white people of being racist.
	Now we all know that white people are racist simply because they're white.
	And they say yes, well then they're racist.
	But, if you accuse them of being racist and say, no, I'm not racist.
	Then, not only are they racist, but they're suffering from white fragility.
	The refusal to recognize that they're racist.
	Now, she says that white people have racism just oozing from their pores.
	They are by nature racist.
	There's a white woman.
	And she spent the last 20 years on this journey, they all call it a journey, towards this ultimately futile goal of being cured of racism.
	She says, 20 years later, all she can say for sure is that she doesn't cause as much harm to non-whites as she used to.
	That's all she's been able to achieve.
	So yeah, we're by nature.
	It's part of our nature to be wicked.
	That's what we're supposed to talk about.
	Whereas this guy, this black guy, Noel Ransom, he can say, yeah, I don't trust white people.
	I don't trust white people.
	And is anybody going to complain?
	No, nobody's going to complain.
	But speaking of trusting white people... Oh my goodness!
	Sometimes it seems we can trust white people to do the goofiest things possible.
	Well, we've got a couple of stories that you made me think of because one of the stories we're going to get to a little later is about Minnesota, which just like our Swedish friends in Sweden, how trusting they are to the idea that social capital is going to exist as they have now 25% of the population being foreign-born.
	But the story we're going to talk about before we get to that is one that comes to us Courtesy of Reader's Digest.
	And there was more than 1,000 nominations were filed with that periodical.
	I didn't even know it was still around.
	Reader's Digest.
	For the nicest place in America designation.
	Now the magazine narrowed the field to one community in each state.
	So 50 different cities had the opportunity to be the nicest place in America.
	Residents then voted on their communities.
	Reader's Digest considered the votes when it chose the winner.
	Columbiana, Ohio, as the nicest place in America.
	Noting how the city of 6,400 lives, it's young and old, it's thriving and it's struggling.
	So this just was unveiled on October 10th.
	You know, Reader's Digest said that it says it's found something special in this city, where a resident has donated $1.5 million of their own money to fix a park, where the young and old stress inclusiveness, and where new ideas are welcomed and not challenged.
	Now, there was someone who was quoted there at some coffee restaurant, and she says this, Well, there's something about this city that I think is interesting.
	You know, you've got this, again, 6,400 people.
	something about it that makes you feel like you're at home.
	Well there's something about this city that I think is interesting. You
	know you've got this it's again at 6,400 people. What do you think the racial
	dynamics of this city are Mr. Taylor? My guess is that it's not a very vibrant
	place.
	Well, you would be correct.
	So, shockingly that this city was selected in our more enlightened times when it comes to racial matters.
	Sensitivity.
	Columbiana is 98% white.
	Oh no!
	98%?
	98% white.
	Oh, how hideously white.
	Oh no, 98%!
	98% white.
	Oh, how hideously white.
	Not only that, it leans conservative.
	In 2016, Columbiana County as a whole gave Donald Trump nearly 70% of its votes.
	But don't worry.
	Don't worry.
	City leaders are seeking ways to attract diversity.
	One of the people in the article Well, au contraire, mon frere, because the spice of life in Columbiana is the fact that its individual white citizens, collectively making up 98% of the population, have created a community that boasts
	Plentiful amount of social capital to the point that it is rated the nicest place in America and get this its unemployment rate hovers at 4% Which is lower than the rest of the region, which is just a little bit higher at about 6% But this, this is white people for you.
	Here they build this, what appears to be a marvelous community, a homogeneous community, a non-vibrant community, and they don't know how good they've got it.
	They've been so brainwashed into thinking that, okay, they may be the nicest place to live in the entire country, but it's not any good because they're all white.
	There are too many white people walking around making this place great.
	Too many white people.
	The article One interesting point.
	The crime rate is low even in the shadows of Youngstown, a city north of Columbiana.
	In the 2000s, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Youngstown was the murder capital of the country on a per capita basis.
	And how far is it from Columbiana?
	20 miles.
	20 miles away?
	Yes.
	And, as this article notes, a world away from its problems.
	Now, Youngstown, like a lot of the cities in Ohio that have a high population of blacks, I'm talking about Cleveland, I'm talking about Cincinnati, I'm talking, you know, Columbus is, Columbus is where, that's the capital of the city, that's where the University of, that's where Ohio State is located.
	It's actually shockingly white, but places like Dayton, you know, Ohio is still kind of like Missouri.
	It's that white, black, historic American population.
	It hasn't had as much Hispanic immigration come in yet to change it up.
	That's why the state is so heavily Republican now.
	You know, if we didn't have this manufactured New Democrat Class Command to help vote in Democrats, as you see in places like Virginia, North Carolina, and soon-to-be Texas.
	So, Columbiana, congratulations on your designation, but as diversity increases, I'm afraid you're going to see the exact opposite, the inverse of niceness become the status quo there in your little hamlet.
	Your rankings are likely to fall.
	But let's see.
	Let's hop across to the other side of the world, all the way to Hong Kong.
	The Hong Kong riots, as our listeners no doubt know, they've been going on for months now.
	And this movement has largely been depicted as a fight between democracy and authoritarianism.
	And there's something to that.
	But there's another element here, and that is the deep distrust and even hatred that the Hong Kongers have towards mainland Chinese.
	There's almost an ethnic element here.
	In Hong Kong, there's been this growing sense, this feeling of superiority towards the mainlanders, who they think of as impoverished, isolated bumpkins.
	But also, at the same time, the locals don't like the fact that some of these rich princelings from the North, you know, these people who've connected the Communist Party, they come in and they're pushing up housing prices.
	They call them the crazy rich.
	And then this resentment of the government has also spilled over to ordinary mainland people.
	Now, another interesting difference is that in Hong Kong, they speak Cantonese, not Mandarin.
	And this sense of division, this almost sense of Hong Kong nationalism has gotten to the point where people who speak Mandarin are laughed at and jeered.
	And recently a mainlander, he's a JP Morgan banker, He was surrounded and told to go back to the mainland, and he was punched repeatedly for saying we are all Chinese in Mandarin.
	Yeah, this is really getting ethnic.
	And stores, restaurants, bank branches that are deemed to be China-linked and pro-China, the demonstrators are smashing them, burning them, and their customers get razzed and hassled even for showing up.
	And apparently, On the city's college campuses, now mainland students are referred to by the slur, Sheena dogs.
	Sheena is how the Chinese say China or mainland China.
	China dogs.
	And told, go back to China.
	Making it very clear that this idea that Hong Kong is not China.
	I find it fascinating that right from the start they've been waving British and American flags.
	Those are common in the streets, but if you show up with a Chinese flag, you're liable to get beaten up or get the bums rush.
	Another very interesting idea here is that the demonstrators have adapted Peppa the Frog.
	Did you know that?
	I was aware.
	I heard that, but I thought, ah, come on, you know, how much of a joke is this?
	Well, I saw a video of people standing hand in hand, and many of them were holding up images of the Peppa the Frog, and I'd say every third or fourth hand in hand was a Peppa the Frog doll.
	In other words, you hang on to one arm, I hang on to the other.
	It's as if Pepper the Frog is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the demonstrators.
	Pepper the Frog!
	Good grief!
	And also, the colonial era flag of Hong Kong.
	They had a colonial era flag with the Union Jack as part of it.
	People are waving that.
	And people say that this is a sign that they have a closer emotional tie to Westerners than to the Chinese in the North.
	There's always a real sense of nationalism.
	Yeah, gosh, this was years ago, obviously.
	It was 1997 when Hong Kong and England had the transfer.
	That's right.
	They gave it back.
	It was a beautiful ceremony, but there was some sense of, wow, this is officially the end of the... the sun has finally set on the British Empire.
	I was thinking that as I watched it.
	Well, you know, Hong Kong actually was ceded in perpetuity to the British.
	It was only what they call the new territories on the Kowloon side, across the bay, that were only a hundred year lease.
	And theoretically, the British could have kept Hong Kong itself, the island, forever.
	But they gave it back voluntarily.
	Well now it's very interesting.
	Just as you find Africans in former European colonies nostalgic for European rule, you find Hong Kong Chinese who are waxing nostalgic for British rule.
	And this I thought was fascinating.
	I was surprised to learn that on September 18th, that was the 88th anniversary of the Japanese invasion of northeastern China, a poster celebrating the event It doesn't work for anyone.
	I'm sorry, it doesn't.
	at the University of Hong Kong. They're celebrating the fact that the Japanese invaded China. Wow!
	This really does show a completely different mindset compared to mainlanders. I just thought
	that this was an interesting example of the kinds of divisions that come from speaking a different
	language, a different attitude. Diversity don't work for the Chinese either. It doesn't work for
	anyone. I'm sorry, it doesn't. Yeah, but especially when it's forced, it's coerced.
	That's right.
	Well, another interesting story this time from Canada.
	Apparently, there are government-owned liquor stores in Ontario.
	They're called LCBO stores.
	That stands for Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
	Now, they have recently adopted a policy of no resistance to thieves.
	What they're supposed to do is take a good look at them so they can describe them accurately to the police and call the police.
	But no, they're not going to disturb them anyway.
	So, what's happening?
	People will show up with duffel bags and they will stuff them full of booze, take their time in a leisurely way, and walk out.
	This stuff has been caught on video.
	Now, there's been a certain vibrancy among those who tend to do this, at least the ones that I've seen on video, but it's an astonishing state of affairs.
	In the video that I saw, at one point you can hear a whole shelf of liquor being crashed down.
	They just knocked over one of these big shelves of the bottles.
	You can hear them crashing and the store workers are yelling at them.
	I can hear one store worker saying, Don't forget some for Grandma!
	Because everyone knows they're not going to be interfered with.
	They walk in and they help themselves.
	Now, this has been such a problem that the same thing is happening in Manitoba.
	They've got the same policy, but they are going to clamp down.
	You know what they're going to do?
	When you walk in the door, they're going to check ID cards.
	Now, they're not going to stop you, but at least they think you're going to have your ID before you walk out the door with your duffel bag full of booze.
	Anyway, that is what comes of lax security in the liquor stores in Canada.
	Now, we've pretty much come to the end of our program here, at the end of our time, but once again, we wish to assure our readers, wherever you are, our listeners, that we love you dearly, and we wish to stay in touch with you.
