	Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, whoever you are, wherever you are, welcome to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
	I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance and with me, of course, is the indispensable Paul Kersey.
	And we'd like to start with a listener correction.
	Last podcast, we were talking about the fate of classical music in the United States, and we were lamenting the disappearance of orchestras in those places where there's been a demographic transformation.
	However, after having mentioned that the Cleveland Orchestra was just hanging on because of the changing demographics in Cleveland, I received notification from a listener who is a graduate of the Cleveland School of Music.
	And he informed me, and I'm sure he's right, that the Cleveland Orchestra is certainly not in a state of just hanging on.
	He says it's still one of the top five orchestras in the nation, if not the world.
	He says the musicians are very well paid, the concerts are always very well attended, and while Cleveland has many, many problems, which are due to your usual suspects, much of the city is starting to grow and even gentrify.
	Now, he did make a distinction, though, between the Cleveland Orchestra and the Cleveland School of Music.
	He says the new president of the school has decided to court the money of diversity peddlers in order to, quote, save the school.
	And this has meant giving lots of scholarship money to under-deserving, this is our correspondence term, under-deserving musicians of color.
	That's the official term for the musicians of color.
	Many of whom might well not have been accepted if merit were the only factor.
	Then he goes on to say that these people are probably being set up for deep disappointment because these days symphonies tend to be extremely meritocratic and they may be some of the last true meritocracies left in the country because all auditions are conducted behind a screen.
	The people who decide whom to hire for that second clarinet spot don't even know who's playing the horn.
	It's all based on the sound.
	It's strictly on sound.
	An anonymous musician plays the instrument.
	That's right.
	And so the orchestra doesn't even know who they're hiring until the decision has been made.
	It's done strictly on how well you play.
	So these musicians of color, if they really can't cut it, are never going to cut it.
	Unless some kind of change takes place.
	But in any case, thank you very much, our listener.
	We always appreciate your comments and we certainly and especially appreciate your corrections.
	When we jump the tracks, we count on you to get us back on track.
	Well, speaking of getting back on track, we want to get on track of answering questions from our awesome listening audience, and it's November 7th, 2019.
	Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are listening across this globe, this earth of ours, we want to hear from you.
	So shoot me an email at BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
	Once again, that's BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com, all one word, or Please come to the Amren.com page and go to the contact us tab and send us your questions.
	We will do our best to answer questions, corrections, commentaries, love letters, anything you like.
	We are happy to hear from you.
	And we're going to start this podcast with something that could have potential to cause a great deal of distress.
	This has to do with a lawsuit that has been brought representing the Detroit school district.
	Now the question before a federal appeal court is whether or not the Detroit school system, which everyone agrees suffer from appalling conditions, gives such a bad education that it is violating a fundamental constitutional right.
	The plaintiffs say that somewhere in the Constitution, although the word education appears nowhere, there is some sort of right to get a minimal education that can at least realistically be expected to permit people to participate in democracy, to read, to write, that sort of thing.
	And the argument here is that the Detroit school system is failing to do this.
	Now, this case was originally thrown out by a district court judge.
	He said, OK, the allegations are alarming.
	The schools are awful.
	But that doesn't mean that the conditions in Detroit schools are unconstitutional.
	So the plaintiffs have appealed to the circuit court, which accepted this case.
	Now, this is not the only case that's working its way through the court.
	There's one on behalf of students in Rhode Island.
	Apparently they have appalling and miserable school districts there, and the people of Rhode Island, or at least the plaintiffs, are claiming that there is some sort of federal constitutional violation.
	It's important in their eyes to get a federal case because there have been similar cases brought in the states.
	Michigan, Rhode Island, Florida, Illinois.
	All of these states, by the way, guarantee an education, a public education in their constitutions.
	That's not uncommon.
	And people have brought suits saying, you're guaranteed an education and we didn't get one.
	And they've all said, too bad.
	We have public schools, they're here for you to use, and it is not a matter of having violated the state constitution.
	So, they've moved to the federal courts.
	Federal courts are often more receptive to this kind of thing.
	Now, an important precedent, however, was a 1973 Supreme Court decision called San Antonio Independent School District versus Rodriguez, in which the court rejected the idea that it was unconstitutional that students from poor districts were getting less money because the schools were funded based on property taxes.
	That's a very common way to fund schools.
	But the Supreme Court said this is not a constitutional question.
	Now the Detroit and the Rhode Island cases argue that this is different.
	They say it's not a question of receiving an education that is less munificent than those in rich areas.
	It's one that it's so inadequate.
	That they cannot realistically participate and exercise their constitutional rights, such as the right to vote, and participate in the nation's democracy.
	So we'll see how this pans out.
	If, in fact, the Constitution is interpreted, and I would think it would require a great deal of creative interpretation, but if it's interpreted as saying, yes, yes, you've got to have a certain minimal level of education, then there'll be no end of litigation.
	To determine what is constitutional and what is not.
	And by the way, I believe you had looked up some interesting statistics.
	I have a lot of interesting statistics actually.
	I'd like to quote the late great Joe Sober who said, hey, anything called a program is probably unconstitutional that the federal government funds.
	What percentage of students do you think Well, I've got a sneak preview.
	It's 83% black, 13% Hispanic, 2% white.
	Now, there's only 49,000 students in Detroit public schools.
	It's something in about 80-90%?
	It's 83% black, 13% Hispanic, 2% white.
	Now, there's only 49,000 students in Detroit public schools.
	Get this, get this listening audience and Mr. Taylor.
	Detroit public schools has one of the highest per pupil spending in the entire country.
	They spend $14,259 per student.
	In comparison, the Miami-Dade School District spends only $8,725 per student.
	In comparison, the Miami-Dade school district spends only $8,725 per student.
	That's $5,500 less per pupil.
	Astonishing.
	Now, there's another factoid I want to throw out to you.
	In 1970, the Detroit public school system had 270,000 students.
	Go back to that number I said of the students that actually are enrolled in Detroit Public Schools.
	47,000.
	270 to 47.
	In a span of roughly, what's that, 50 years?
	Yes, yes.
	Well, there's white flight for you, depopulation for you, that's of course Devil's Night for you, burning down all the houses, no one can live in the That's really no longer a problem there.
	I know, I know.
	But, they haven't built them back.
	No, they haven't.
	No.
	So, there you go.
	That is astonishing.
	240,000 public school students in 1970.
	270!
	270,000.
	And 40,000 a day.
	And dropping.
	That number dwindles.
	Dropping.
	But, we have to make sure they get that constitutionally required education.
	I mean, think about that per people spending.
	And where is that going to?
	Definitely.
	There's definitely no academic results.
	Nope, nope, nope.
	Now, there are certain reasons why they're having such bad results there, but they're not reasons that we're allowed to discuss on YouTube, so our lips are zipped.
	But we're not going to zip our lips on the subject of the Star Spangled Banner.
	There was an October 30th article in the New York Times by Julia Jacobs, and she's up in arms about the fact that television stations They're beginning their broadcast day with a video full of American typical scenes while the Star Spangled Banner is played.
	Now, how could this possibly be a problem?
	Well, according to Julia Jacobs, and I quote, they say they are encouraging unity, but the song, the song, can be a dividing line.
	She goes on to say some viewers might hear political overtones.
	She says, overt allegiance to the Star-Spangled Banner has become one of the lines that separate blue and red America.
	So she is annoyed that these television stations are daring to start the broadcast day with a Star-Spangled Banner.
	Now, that reminds me of the fact that there are some schools, mostly in the Southwest, that have large Hispanic populations where it's against the rules to bring an American flag to school.
	Because of the problems that could arise from such a That's exactly right.
	The American flag is no different from gang colors.
	You know it's funny we had a listener going back to the questions and the comments and Corrections we got from listeners over the past year.
	We had someone who sent in, one time I asked, I said, hey, there's this movie called The Substitute and there's this amazing scene where it's at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami and they have a Christopher Columbus statue behind a gate so no one can try and tear it down or put graffiti over it.
	And you know what one of our listeners did, Mr. Taylor?
	They actually took screenshots High-def screenshots of all of those images and it's amazing and it's one of the more powerful scenes of what racial transformation means you had to hide the you know Christopher Columbus you have to protect him protect him and this movie came out in the early 1990s and what you're talking about now of course the acceleration of
	Reconquista thinking that's taking place.
	The American flag is persona non grata, and as is the National Anthem.
	The National Anthem.
	Could be divisive.
	Can't have a National Anthem anymore, I suppose.
	Gee.
	But then, let's see, you had an interesting story about a Columbia professor who's made something of a U-turn.
	Yeah, this is from College Fix.
	He's a Romanian-born academic who says he recently left his tenured position at Columbia University because the Ivy League school is, quote, On its way toward full-blown communism.
	Now we told this professor Andrei Servin, he's an award-winning director, he did this interview with the Romanian TV.
	And it was translated by a Romanian-American immigrant.
	And it's a powerful interview where he's talking about where America is headed versus where he came from and how terrified he is.
	Yeah, he came to escape communism, right?
	Exactly, exactly.
	And so he left his tenured position.
	Now think about that.
	What type of professor leaves a tenured position?
	Put that into context.
	This is a guy who fled communism.
	At Columbia, no less.
	Exactly.
	I'm sure that they were not scrimping on his salary if you're a tenured prof. So here's an example.
	He was pressured to admit a transgender applicant who auditioned as Juliet for Romeo and Juliet.
	I'm actually surprised it wasn't mandated that they have such an actor.
	Right.
	Pick for that role.
	So the native Romanian speaker who immigrated to the United States told the College Fix that this is the, so this is the translation.
	He said that it was likely the first time that Serban made his resignation publicly known.
	He's still listed as an active professor.
	Now media relations have tried to track down if this is true or not, but it doesn't matter.
	Here's what he said.
	The TV host He expresses incredulity the entire time.
	He's shocked at what this professor is saying about America, because they have this picture of this shining city on a hill, freedom of expression.
	It's this wonderful place.
	You've escaped Bolshevism, Marxism, and the communism of Romania, and now you're in this great place of freedom.
	Serbin's basically saying, no guys, America's headed to exactly where we came from.
	Well, then there was a faculty search that apparently they were looking for somebody to replace somebody who'd left, and the word was out.
	It can't be a white man.
	Exactly.
	It can't be a heterosexual.
	Here it is.
	It was at this meeting where Serbin, that the dean of the art school, told them, That after this faculty member retired, the remaining professors were sitting around discussing who the replacement was going to be, and they said explicitly that there were, quote, too many white professors, too many heterosexual men, unquote, and that it would be best to hire a minority or a woman
	or a gay or a homosexual man. Now, Serban, who was the director of the hiring committee,
	says that he was told that it could not be someone like him because he is a man that has been
	married a heterosexual man who has children. Well, that disqualifies you. Yeah, and the professor
	said that he then asked if they could choose a straight white male if the most qualified candidate
	happened to be so.
	And he was promptly told that they could not.
	And this is where he said, quote, I felt like I was living under communism again.
	So this guy with his principles says, hey, I might have a tenured position, but you know what?
	I see where the tea leaves.
	I see the writing on the wall.
	And it's fascinating because I think more and more people are doing this.
	I think it's wonderful that people back home are hearing about this.
	And as you say during this interview, the guy interviewing him is just in a state of astonishment.
	Disbelief.
	They have no idea that this is what's going on.
	Well, it's about time the world learned.
	Well, we have another, in some respects, equally cheerful story from Sea-Tac International Airport.
	Deputies and officers from the Sea-Tac police responded to Bob's Burgers and Teriyaki.
	Now that's quite a mix for you, isn't it?
	That's pretty multi-culti right there.
	Bob's Burgers and Teriyaki.
	This was on the night of October 19th after an employee reported a robbery.
	Two robbers, one of whom was brandishing a gun, tied up the restaurant manager, six customers, stole their belongings, and sexually assaulted two women.
	Well, as it turned out, it was all a hoax.
	All a hoax.
	Sheriff Mitzi Johannknecht said at a Monday press conference, every employee present that evening and all six customers participated in a deliberate hoax.
	The whole thing was staged.
	Two masked robbers dressed up.
	Well, why would they do such a thing?
	They did this because there is yet another loophole into the United States.
	It's called the U-Visa.
	This is granted to some illegal alien crime victims who help officials investigate and prosecute crimes.
	Now, the Sheriff's Office is refusing to say who was an illegal alien because they are not interested in immigration status.
	Even in a crime that's designed to get an illegal, a U-Visa, the special loophole visa, they're not interested.
	We talked about Seattle and King County, how that's one of the main problems.
	They refuse to cooperate with the federal government.
	That's right.
	Even in a case like this.
	They're just not going to investigate that now.
	To me, this story is interesting in and of itself because I'd never heard of U visas.
	You are generally better informed than I on these minutiae of the immigration procedure.
	Had you heard of a U visa for crime victims?
	No, never heard of this.
	Well, okay.
	Now, so we learn about U visas.
	Then, and this to me is as important as anything else, in the news story in which the Seattle Times, the main Seattle newspaper, is reporting this crime, they go on utterly gratuitously to add the following.
	Research has consistently shown that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the United States.
	A 2018 study published in the Journal of Criminology did not find a positive relationship between the number of undocumented immigrants and crime rates.
	In other words, they're giving us a story about a crime committed by illegal immigrants, or immigrants.
	And they feel compelled to say, wait, now don't get the idea, don't, watch out folks, don't get the idea that immigrants commit crimes, and certainly not illegal immigrants.
	And then, remember, there was a claim of sexual assaults.
	Then they go on to say, In addition, research including a prominent 2010 study from the University of Massachusetts at Boston found that false reports of sexual assaults are low and make up between 2% and 10% of such reports.
	Again, here we have a case of a false sexual assault report and the Seattle Times gets on its high horse in the middle of a news story and says, don't get the wrong idea.
	This almost never happens.
	It's incredible.
	Just incredible.
	They can't... You know, there's this combination of editorializing and pretending to give the news.
	Well, in any case... There's no objectivity, is what you're saying.
	Well, they're just trying to... They're using every opportunity to say, now you might be tempted to draw a conclusion, but that conclusion would be wrong.
	Naughty, naughty.
	Now, on the subject of U visas, such visas were first granted in 2009.
	And they are special loophole visas for victims of crime and their family members who have suffered a, and this I'm quoting from the regulation, suffered substantial mental or physical abuse while in the U.S.
	and are willing to help law enforcement and government officials in the investigation or prosecution of the criminal activity.
	So that's the deal.
	If you're an illegal and you have suffered substantial mental and physical abuse in a crime and you're prepared to help the authorities track them down, you might get this visa, which is permanent residency, which can lead to citizenship.
	Yet another one of these loopholes.
	Now, only $10,000 can be issued each year.
	And I looked up the record for every year since they started being issued, and every year 10,000 are granted.
	Hit that quota.
	They hit that quota every year.
	But there's no limit on family member applications.
	No limit.
	So, in the last year for which we have numbers, There were 59,000 petitions received.
	59,000!
	You've never heard of this visa.
	I've never heard of this visa.
	Well, 59,000 illegals have heard of this visa.
	I've never heard of this visa.
	Yes.
	Well, 59,000 illegals have heard of this visa.
	Yes.
	And of this 59,000, no fewer than 18,000 were approved.
	18,000 were approved.
	That means the 10,000 that met the quota and these tag-along family members.
	So that's 18,000 who got in under the wire and only 4,308 were declined.
	308 were declined. Well, okay, if you've got 10,000 approvals and 4,000 denials and
	59,000 applicants, what happened to the rest of them? Well, they went into the backlog.
	The current backlog, which goes up every year, every year, is $228,764.
	And they're able until they get that hearing to stay in the country?
	You know, honestly, I don't know how that works.
	Maybe some of them have been kicked out.
	In any case, there's a backlog of nearly a quarter million of these.
	Now, I'll make a prediction.
	I'll make a prediction on an obscure matter of immigration law.
	If Elizabeth Warren or some other Democrat becomes president, that backlog, I bet they're all just going to get a blanket U visa.
	That's my guess.
	A blanket form of amnesty.
	Think about the network of immigration lawyers that exist to help these individuals out when something happens where then they can say, aha, I know exactly I've got a pass that I think you can get on the waiting list for.
	That's right.
	How did 59,000 of these unauthorized occupants of the United States even hear about this, much less make a petition?
	Good grief.
	All this stuff that goes on in the background that we never even know about.
	All these tricky ways to become a legal resident and eventually a U.S.
	citizen.
	You know, a person who I think was actually fighting this before he was railroaded for a lot of the failures of the Trump presidency early on was Jeff Sessions.
	Yes, exactly.
	We know Jeff Sessions, we're not, this isn't for us to talk about, but just briefly I want to say I'm excited, Mr. Taylor, and to our listening audience, that he has decided to put his hat into the senatorial race in Alabama.
	I'm delighted also.
	Jeff Sessions was a great guy, and I think the orange man really misbehaved when he was constantly poking fun at him and insulting him.
	He was the best part about the Trump administration, hands down.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	Yes.
	Now, we have a good news story here.
	As we all know, Martin Luther King's name has been emblazoned on major thoroughfares in just about every major city of the United States.
	And, at long last, Kansas City.
	Kansas City got one, less than a year ago.
	It got a Martin Luther King Boulevard.
	Now, this was a decades-long battle by the black community, which appeared to end Kansas City's reputation as one of the largest U.S.
	cities in the country, not to have a King Street.
	This is Kansas City, Missouri, correct?
	Yes, Kansas City, Missouri.
	Beautiful city.
	Yes.
	There are some people who didn't like the fact that this historic street, this is really the first main street in the whole town.
	It was established in 1899 and it was known as the Paseo.
	Well, some of the citizens didn't care for the idea of the Paseo becoming named Martin Luther King.
	And they got themselves a committee called Save the Paseo and they put it on the ballot.
	to rename the city and the Paseo Group collected 2,857 signatures in April far more than 1,700 they needed and they put the change to public vote just Tuesday of this week with the result that Do you know what percentage of the voters voted to get rid of Martin Luther King and bring back the Paseo?
	I do, but I want you to... You want me to break the news?
	I want you to break the news.
	70% ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
	70%!
	This is a typical example of what happens when people actually have the opportunity to express themselves.
	They did not want King.
	Now, something else that is really extraordinary.
	Needless to say, the supporters of keeping the name, they accused all these people who want the paseo brought back of racism.
	Racism?
	Racism?
	I mean, how imaginative is that?
	Well, on Sunday, this was, since it was Tuesday, it was just two days before the vote, There was a get-out-the-vote rally at a black church.
	No, I didn't think churches.
	Churches are non-profit.
	You know, they're not supposed to have get-out-the-vote rallies, but they do all the time.
	They do all the time and that never violates their non-profit status.
	In any case, there was singing and chanting and there was get-out-the-vote and vote for Brother King in the Paseo Baptist Church.
	Well, lo and behold, the Save the Paseo group, about 30 or 40 of them, marched into the church and stood silently in the aisles.
	To protest this.
	And they were accused of being disrespectful.
	They didn't open their mouths.
	They refused to sit down when the preacher invited them to sit down.
	You know what they said?
	Tim Smith, who organized the protest, said that it was designed to force these black Christian leaders, who had called them racist, to say it to our faces.
	Daring them to say it to our faces.
	Wow.
	Boy.
	Speechless.
	Honestly, speechless.
	This is extraordinary.
	This is extraordinary.
	People who are gratuitously called racist, they're marching into a black church and say, say it to our faces.
	Extraordinary.
	In all seriousness, have you ever heard of anything of this nature?
	Hmm, I could think only of people like real activists, committed activists, who go and disrupt things.
	Some of this, this Groyper activity, for example.
	But in terms of ordinary grassroots people organizing for a purpose like this, to bring back a traditional name that this street has had since 1899. 1899.
	And this change was railroaded through by the City Council without any consultation of the people.
	And now all these signs are being taken down.
	They said Martin Luther King on them and the Paseo is going back up.
	Now, something else.
	Supporters of the Martin Luther King name They said they issued this dire warning.
	Removing the name would send a negative image of Kansas City to the rest of the world and could hurt business and tourism.
	Do you think even they believe that?
	No, it's funny, you know, everybody always said, you think back to these states, it's all the Confederate flag, South Carolina.
	South Carolina has some of the largest in-migration from people moving into the state, retirees.
	And this was before the horror of what happened in 2015.
	In Charleston, and then the Confederate flag gets pulled down and all this stuff.
	It's like Atlanta.
	Atlanta's got one of the most diverse economies, and everybody said, we've got to get the Confederate flag emblem off of the state flag.
	The Olympics came, regardless of the Confederate flag.
	Then they didn't even vote.
	You know, the Republicans didn't want to let the people vote because it would be embarrassing, as the people of Mississippi get to vote.
	But I mean, it's all so ridiculous.
	It's incredible that they really think some tourist is thinking, well, where am I going to go?
	Oh, Kansas City!
	You know, I bet they have good steaks there!
	Uh-oh!
	Uh-oh!
	No!
	And somebody has looked at every street in the whole city.
	I can't find Martin.
	I'm just not gonna go.
	Well, I'm sure there's clubs out there of people who go and they want to see what life is like on the Martin Luther King Boulevard or Martin Luther King Drive in every major American city.
	They say to themselves, you know, we haven't been to Kansas City.
	They just named it.
	And now that one club doesn't have the pictures of them on this street.
	I feel sorry for that club.
	I guess so.
	Are there really such clubs?
	Or did you just invent this?
	You just invented this.
	I did just invent it.
	Like I said, there's somebody out there who's upset.
	And, you know, Kansas City, real quick, if you've never been there, I do encourage our listeners, someone once asked, they said, where would you recommend to move to?
	Where would you recommend to visit on a, take my wife or something on a vacation?
	And inevitably, I think the answer is always in Missouri.
	Arkansas, go check out these states, it's very nice.
	On the strength of what the city just did, sounds like a staunch place to me.
	There's great steak, there's great food.
	Yes, yes.
	I bet they have Rocky Mountain oysters too.
	You're not joking about that.
	No, I'm sure they're not.
	Another little story here.
	This has to do with a software company called GitHub.
	GitHub is one of these very tech-oriented companies that does not have a presence in the consumer world.
	It does software development for version control.
	In other words, when you upgrade your operating system, you go from one version to another, they are involved in this sort of thing.
	And Microsoft bought the company in 2018 for pocket change, $7.5 billion.
	In any case, the employees recently learned That GitHub had renewed its 2016 contract with the U.S.
	Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, ICE.
	Well, the president, a fellow by the name of Nat Friedman, appeared intent on averting an internal protest of the sort that has roiled other tech firms whose software is involved in government enforcement.
	And so, he announced that his company was going to donate half a million dollars This company money, mind you, not going into the employees' pockets, is going to dote half a million dollars to non-profits that help the communities affected by immigration concern, despite the fact that the revenue from the contract is only worth $200,000 a year.
	But he's going to give away half a million, twice the value of the contract.
	Well, it was a peace offering, but it didn't work.
	The employees are still furious.
	And so the GitHub executives have changed their internal messaging, including a memo to employees saying that barring ICE from access to GitHub could actually hurt the very people we want to help.
	Why is that?
	Because, according to GitHub Internal Communications, we have learned from a number of non-profits and refugee advocates that one of the greatest challenges facing immigrants is a lack of technology.
	at ICE and related agencies, resulting in lost case files, court date notifications not being delivered,
	or the wrong people being charged or deported.
	In other words, we are helping them.
	So we are helping the people who could be targets of deportation.
	Well, the employees not buying it.
	They want ICE, I guess, to founder and fail.
	And they said continued work with ICE would make the San Francisco-based company complicit in human rights abuses.
	And, for example, staff engineer Sophie Haskins, she resigned just on Monday, saying in her resignation letter that the contract with ICE was morally unacceptable.
	Now, this story just goes on and on.
	Chief Operating Officer Erica Brescia She pointed out, she says, other important work that ICE does, such as stopping child exploitation, human trafficking, money laundering, and disrupting terrorist networks.
	She added, she's not defending ICE.
	Simply sharing facts, as she put it.
	That still, you know, didn't mollify the employees.
	Anything to do with ICE, even if it's stopping human traffic in modern laundering.
	No, no, can't do that.
	And, in fact, There is something called RAICES, a Texas-based non-profit that offers legal services to immigrants and refugees.
	They responded on Twitter to Brescia's claim, to the chief operating officer Erica Brescia, that non-profits want ICE to have better technology.
	She says, we can assure you that's not the case.
	Non-profits want the thing to be all tied up in knots in every possible way.
	Good grief.
	To me, it's really quite incredible that you get these private companies.
	Somebody wants to do a deal.
	I mean, they're in business to make money.
	The government's going to offer a nice contract.
	They can take the deal.
	And the employees say, absolutely not.
	And you have this internal roiling.
	The company gives away a gift to these non-profits that's worth twice the value of the contract.
	I wonder what their Christmas bonuses are going to look like this year.
	Their options.
	401k matching.
	I don't know how that's going to go.
	But you know, in June 2018, Google, in the face of ferocious employee opposition, said it was not going to renew its contract to develop artificial intelligence systems for the Pentagon.
	And that same month, 500 Amazon workers called on executives to stop selling facial recognition software to the government.
	Well, there are other companies that will step in when foolishly, when foolish SJW Warriors decide, hey, we can't do this.
	Well, guess what?
	The free market, there are plenty of other companies that will say, we'll do it.
	We'll take that contract and we'll be your vendor.
	We'll be your supplier of technology and keep the whole thing going nicely.
	Well, you see, I'm not so sure about that.
	You'd think that some social software company would believe in free speech and accept people who others have kicked off.
	But we haven't found that yet, except for very, very small numbers.
	True.
	That is true.
	But anyway, the most astonishing example of this is...
	Employees of the e-commerce brand Wayfair.
	I've actually bought some things from Wayfair.
	They sell good stuff.
	House furnishings.
	But they walked out of their offices in June 2019, just this year, to protest the sale of beds to immigration detention centers.
	I remember this.
	Yeah.
	I guess they don't want people in the centers to have beds.
	No, no.
	This is this is the time when The corporate media was trying to say that President Trump and ICE and the Border Patrol were putting the illegal aliens that had, mysteriously that word illegal alien was removed and they were called migrant children.
	They were just, they were putting these little cages and prisons and of course it turns out that a lot of the pictures were from the Obama era, the Obama administration.
	That's right.
	But the idea, we must not sell beds!
	Let them sleep on concrete.
	Good gosh.
	Well, insanity, insanity abounds.
	But, well, on the subject of insanity, you're aware of this Western Connecticut State University story.
	There was an outrage there.
	An outrage.
	Now, don't tell them what.
	An outrage just last Thursday night, and the city police, the state police, and the FBI are investigating.
	It was such an outrage, all the way up to the feds.
	In fact, it was such an outrage that President John Clark of the university said, have no doubt that we are treating this as an attack.
	on our university, community, and making every effort to see that those responsible are caught
	and properly punished." He goes on to say, I am both shocked and immensely saddened by this sick
	and outrageous behavior. What could that be? He vowed that there would be the severest disciplinary
	actions if there were students involved, up to and definitely including expulsion.
	Explosion.
	This sounds horrible.
	Must have been a lynching, right?
	News has to be involved?
	I would sure think so.
	Must have been a Klan rally.
	Maybe, I don't know.
	Stormtroopers marching up and down the campus.
	Well, no.
	What happened was this.
	There were flyers discovered on campus.
	Two different kinds.
	One kind said, it's okay to be white.
	Call the FBI!
	Right away!
	The other said, Islam is right about women.
	Oh my gosh!
	You know, a quarter of the world's population is Muslim.
	That's right.
	That means billions of people think Islam is right about women.
	They do.
	But actually, to point this out, oh my god!
	President Clark slammed the incident as despicable, utterly unacceptable, and disgusting.
	Boy, he's really wearing out his... Is the word contemptible?
	Probably not.
	He's wearing out his vocabulary.
	Wow, that's impressive.
	But yes, this... I mean, I don't know what to say.
	Surely, no law has been broken here, but that doesn't matter.
	The FBI is on their trail.
	And as President John Clark says, we must be ever vigilant to protect our university against these hateful attacks.
	There you go.
	Wow.
	Now, he's also, this guy's a white man.
	Oh, he's a white man.
	Steve Saylor put up a great post, as he usually does, where he simply said, why don't you just put up a poster that says the president's name.
	It's okay to be, to be his name.
	And then a white man.
	And then see what people say about that.
	And how will you respond?
	Hateful.
	Hateful.
	And I hope the people back in that Columbia professor's country, this is the sort of thing that the world needs to know about.
	Oh, no.
	I mean, this is the Romanian, the Professor Andrea Serban.
	I'm sure if he saw this, he's like, well, wait a second.
	Is it okay to be Romanian?
	What?
	What's going on here?
	He's in the heart of it.
	He's seen this stuff firsthand.
	It's the ones back home who just cannot believe.
	I mean, Japanese don't believe this.
	When I tell my Japanese friends, they say, no, no, no, you're making this up.
	No, not making it up.
	Well, you think that this president of this university, and what university was this again?
	It is Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
	Yeah, his devotion to this ideology, this religion, is what has enabled him to progress to this position.
	Now he must guard against this insurrection. That's what this whole
	poster...
	You talk about the Groyper stuff. It is an insurrection against the ruling ideology of our time, of egalitarianism.
	But to say it's okay to be white and call in the FBI?
	It's not.
	I guess it's not.
	We gotta stamp this hate out!
	Yeah, well, there are worse things going on even in Wisconsin, are there not?
	There are some horrible things going on in the state of Wisconsin, which, mind you, is an 86% white, 6% black state.
	Racism is now a public health crisis in Madison, Wisconsin.
	They just passed a resolution declaring racism, like I said, a public health crisis.
	The city council has joined 32 other organizations in the state in support of the statewide resolution.
	Now, Alexander Gee, he's the president of and founder of the Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership and Development, praised this resolution.
	He said this, quote, it's now been proven that the stress caused by the pressures of racism is a leading indicator of health disparities for African Americans.
	We now know that because of stress, we, African Americans, That's been scientifically proven.
	I guess so.
	He's got some study obviously from News1.com, one of these websites.
	Black Twitter is going on with this.
	Well, I decided to do something, and a number of states still publish, easily accessible online, their Uniform Crime Report, Mr. Taylor and dear listener.
	Who knows for how long?
	Who knows for how long?
	It's actually increased since President Trump took over.
	We've seen a lot more of this data come out from both the federal government and on the state level.
	Good.
	So, in 2018, we're unable to find out exactly, you know, How much more likely blacks are than whites to be killed, raped, or robbed, but it does report arrest figures, which is important.
	In 2018, blacks in Wisconsin, now remember, they're only 6% of the population.
	2018, blacks in Wisconsin were 18.4 times more likely than whites to be arrested for homicide.
	18 times more likely?
	Yeah.
	The multiple for rape was 7.3, and the multiple for robbery Was an eye-opening.
	32 times.
	Well, you know, that's only because racist cops are going out and arresting innocent blacks for robbery, right?
	Well, I was thinking it might have something to do with the public health crisis, that maybe they're trying to steal... it's like something out of Les Mis, where they're just trying to find some medical... some Advil for their... They need to rob somebody to, yes, to buy aspirin.
	Exactly, for the horrors that racism, that white racism is causing them, their medical ailments.
	But here's something more interesting.
	Remember, this took place at the University of, uh, the city of Madison.
	Well, the city of Madison actually publishes some of the most comprehensive data when it comes to a race, uh, to arrests.
	And we find that in Madison, Wisconsin itself, it's 79% white and 8% black.
	We find that last year, in 2018, blacks were 52 times more likely than whites to be arrested for murder.
	52 times!
	Wow.
	32 times more likely to be arrested for robbery, and 30 times more likely to be arrested for weapons offenses.
	Even though there are only 8% of the Madison population, blacks were arrested for 83% of the murders cleared that year and 76% of the robberies in 2018.
	Now you said something about a health emergency?
	I guess.
	White racism is apparently causing all of this criminality.
	Well, that's the root cause.
	That's the root cause.
	If we really want to stop the murder, stop the rape, stop the robbery, stop the burglary, we've got to wipe out racism.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	It's not just racism.
	It's white racism.
	Oh, sorry.
	Well, no.
	I mean, that's... Oxymoronic.
	You're right.
	It's redundancy.
	But moving right along, this time to Missoula, Montana.
	There's a fellow named Funugu Nsanzinfura.
	I think I'm pronouncing that about as correctly as an English speaker can.
	He showed up in 2018, and he wants to bring his family.
	Now, he showed up as a refugee, but he's a refugee from the Congo.
	The Congo.
	But the Trump administration has been slashing the number of refugees admitted into the United States by nearly half.
	And this fiscal year's $18,000 quote is down from $30,000 of the year before.
	And Barack Obama, in his last year, he let in $110,000.
	So, the orange man has been bringing it down to $30,000, now $18,000.
	The orange man has been bringing it down to $30,000, now $18,000.
	Now you may recall that when Hillary was thinking she was going to become president,
	she was going to double, she was going to do Barack Obama one better and raise the quota to $200,000 a year.
	But this is something that the president can pretty much do unilaterally, and he has dropped it to $18,000.
	Well, as a result, there are thousands of refugees abroad who are already cleared for refugee status, and they're simply waiting for their ticket.
	But now they're not going to come.
	Because instead of the 30,000, or the 110,000, or the 200,000, only 18,000.
	So, Funugu Nsanzinfura is thinking the unthinkable.
	to the 200,000 only 18,000. So, Funugu Nsanzinpura is thinking the unthinkable.
	He's considering returning to the camp. Back to the Congo.
	Well, actually, it's in East Africa.
	Okay.
	Back to where he came from.
	And this is the New York Times writing about this, of course, the very hand-wringing story.
	Because if he's going to be reunited, guess what?
	Family reunification does not have to take place in the United States.
	No, it doesn't!
	It can happen back home where everybody is with all their own people.
	It's a two-way street.
	It's not a one-way thoroughfare.
	But according to the New York Times, Trump has done something perhaps even worse.
	He has issued a, and this is the Times language, potentially divisive Executive order that gives local activists more power to reject refugees chosen for resettlement in their communities.
	They have to be enriched.
	Don't they understand this?
	They can't have autonomy and freedom of association.
	Now, isn't this what democracy is all about?
	Democracy is the people decide, not for the New York Times.
	The New York Times wants these people to be parachuted in whether they like them or not.
	Now, Missoula's mayor, John Engen, He says the Congolese are filling a void of cultural diversity in a town that is nearly 90% white.
	Oh, the horror.
	Oh, the horror.
	And then the New York Times has, in a different article, claimed that nearly all white, that's their word, states like New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine pose, quote, an array of problems for new arrivals.
	New Hampshire, like its neighbor Vermont and Maine, is nearly all white, and this has posed an array of problems for new arrivals who often find themselves isolated and alone without the comfort and support of a built-in community.
	Oh, the poor dears.
	The fact that our community is being frazzled and frayed, that doesn't matter.
	Irrelevant.
	That's irrelevant.
	That is utterly irrelevant.
	And just as a footnote, I would like our listeners to know that refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers about nine billion dollars every five years.
	Just a little footnote to this story.
	Well, the one takeaway I get from that story is that the Missoula mayor, just like the president of that university in Connecticut, I think he also would agree that it's not okay to be white.
	We need this cultural diversity.
	In fact, it's mandated as a part of civic life in 21st century America.
	Now, as you astutely noted, I took some ethics and civics classes, and I don't think I ever learned why you could, or was taught that, hey, you've got to be investigated for a flyer.
	And it's going to be astonishing when they actually find the people and then they try and find the justification.
	Why did you guys put these flyers up?
	Were you motivated by hate?
	What were you motivated with as they try and entrap these college students, or whoever they are?
	Well, you know, when it comes to these things, there's no such thing as having a sense of humor.
	That's just out of the question.
	I'm a big fan of Theodore Dalrymple's work and I think that he's written a lot about how the similarities between communist societies and where the West is headed and not just the United States but increasingly United Kingdom and Sweden and other places and you think about what that Romanian professor said and you have to wonder when As more and more of these Eastern Bloc countries realize what's happening in the United States, they don't reach out and say, hey, look, we have a demographic problem of our own.
	Let's do some DNA tests, find out where you and your family would best fit in, and come resettle over here.
	Well, it might come to that.
	It might come to that.
	And this Missoula mayor, John Engen, who says that Congolese are filling the void of cultural diversity in his 90% white town.
	He's just like the City Council of Kansas City.
	These guys just up and decide, well, you know, we need a Martin Luther King.
	No, the people have a different idea.
	I suspect the people in Missoula, if you went up and said, is this place too white?
	Do we really need all these wonderful Congolese?
	I don't think they'd necessarily agree.
	It's funny, if you've ever been to Montana or Missoula, I bet they don't even think about that because they're around it.
	It's like oxygen.
	Montana's a great state, and they just look around, and they're like, wait a second, what's going on here?
	If they didn't like it there, they could leave.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, but now there's one place they probably wouldn't want to move to, and that is Prince George's County, Maryland.
	Oh, no!
	There's a lot of excitement going on here.
	Now, the fact is there is a former Maryland delegate, that's what we call people who go to the lower house, the state house, Maryland delegate, Tawana Gaines.
	Well, Tawana, Age 67, resigned from the House of Delegates earlier this month.
	After she was accused of misusing campaign funds.
	Now, she had been in the House of Delegates for 18 years.
	We don't know for how long she has been misusing campaign funds.
	And she admitted to spending $22,000 in campaign donations on personal expenses.
	That's what she admitted to.
	And Tawana is set to be sentenced on January 3rd.
	She faces 8 to 33 months in prison.
	And as part of her plea deal, this is a plea deal mind you, she is going to pay $22,500 in restitution.
	So she's got money to spare.
	Now that's just one interesting little detail and it turns out Tawana's daughter is now also accused of taking money from her mother's campaign for personal use.
	Anitra is her name.
	Anitra Edmond.
	She was the campaign treasurer for her mother, and she's now been indicted.
	This is a recent development.
	The court documents, they don't say how Anitra spent the campaign money, but the government plans to require her to fork over at least $35,000.
	Now, so they are going to join two other former Prince George's County State Reps in the big house.
	One is named Will Kompos.
	He was born in El Salvador.
	He was sentenced in May of last year to 54 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.
	He was a notoriously easy touch for people who wanted things done their way in exchange for a little palm greasing.
	So, he's locked away for a while and there's another former delegate named Michael Vaughan.
	He is also from PG County.
	He first got in hot water when it turned out that he hadn't played for the Dallas Cowboys for three years, as it was stated in his official biography.
	I'm sorry.
	Wait a second.
	That's right.
	In his official biography, he stated something that's easily refuted and easily searchable.
	Easily searchable.
	He claimed he'd played for the Dallas Cowboys.
	Uh-oh!
	Well, but that didn't get him out of office.
	In 2017, he was convicted of a long-running bribery and conspiracy scheme.
	He resigned his seat and was sentenced to four years in the big house and three years of probation.
	So he, like this entire cast of happy characters, they're all from marginalized communities, Now, Prince George's County, which surrounds D.C.
	on two sides, it's almost like an amoeba swallowing a piece of nutrition, something or other.
	P.G.
	County is only 13% white, I might add, as a footnote to this lovely story.
	And that transformation has occurred over the past 50 years.
	It's been a stunning racial transformation.
	Very, very quick.
	It's been white flight of the most remarkable kind.
	Of course, D.C.
	is full of well-paid black people who work for the government, and they go there, but they don't seem to be getting very good representation.
	You know, D.C.
	is one of the only major cities in the country that's actually gaining a white population.
	That's true.
	Well, Atlanta is too.
	Atlanta is too, but D.C.' 's is the most pronounced because it, at one point, was, gosh, it was pushing close to 75% black, and in the past 20 years,
	The transformation is eye-opening.
	But it's not, you know, I would say it's not really a great thing because the whites that are moving there are the ones who are most wedded to this system.
	Oh gosh, didn't DC vote, what, 80%?
	I don't know, it was like 94, 93%.
	For Hillary.
	And they booed the president at the Nationals game in the World Series.
	Yes.
	Well, it used to be Chocolate City.
	It's not anymore.
	It's something almost worse.
	It was only Chocolate City because of a couple of riots.
	I mean, up until about 1950, you're still looking at a city that's 65% white.
	Well, let's move to England here.
	Now, there was a headline, a remarkable headline.
	In The Independent.
	The Independent is a perfectly respectable newspaper in Britain.
	The headline read like this.
	The Prophet Muhammad had British values.
	So the only way to combat extremism is to teach more Islam in schools.
	Can you believe this?
	Let me quote from this astonishing article.
	The way to combat Islamic extremism is to invest in teaching Islamic theology in British schools.
	Teaching that proves the Prophet Muhammad would never have condoned the actions of ISIS.
	The Prophet Muhammad had what we would call British values.
	Those values of social responsibility, respect for the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those of different faiths.
	Boy, that would be news to all the people that he put to the sword.
	That would be news to Muhammad.
	Yeah.
	And this person goes on to say, sadly the West has a history of reviling and caricaturing the Prophet of Islam.
	I wonder why?
	It's not caricaturing, it's not reviling, it's accurate representation.
	And then he goes on to say, perhaps This in part explains why so many young men and women have turned to misinterpretations of his teachings.
	In other words, it's the distortion of Muhammad and of Islam by Westerners that has made all of these young Muslims Go around the bend and think that Islam is all about spreading religion by the sword, slaying the infidel, taking sex slaves as prisoners, having multiple wives.
	It's the wicked people of the West who gave them that idea.
	1400 years of Islamic history all falls to this nonsensical idea that, hey, Muhammad was just as British as any of you guys.
	British values!
	British values were all Muhammad was simply trying to bring.
	You know, this is obviously a Muslim who is talking about this, but what amazes me is that The Independent would publish this kind of nonsense.
	I suppose I should no longer be amazed by anything.
	Dare I say that I'm surprised it took them so long to publish this.
	Such a fitting British headline.
	Muhammad had British values and the way we're going to solve the problem is to teach everybody in British schools just how British Muhammad was.
	Take down the Union Jack and let's all bow down to Mecca.
	Run up the black flag.
	Well, okay, and one final little overseas story.
	This comes from Greece.
	There is a Greek group called Enomenoi Makadones, which means United Macedonians.
	And they've sent out an online invitation for people to attend a public event to be held near a migrant camp.
	Located a few miles west of Thessaloniki.
	And it's going to be an outdoor party prominently featuring the consumption of pork and alcohol.
	Yes, and I'm assuming the migrant camp people are invited too.
	But there's been a huge clash in Parliament over this proposed barbecue and thousands have taken to social media to either condemn the event as a provocation or to defend it as a constitutional right.
	And for example, left-wing politician Christos Giannoulis said he wasn't sure that the event had broken any laws but he called it a disgrace.
	It sounds like a picnic.
	a provocation against people of other beliefs.
	He called for the organization, for the organizers to be held accountable for this, quote,
	new type of political and criminal behavior.
	So I guess he thinks it's a crime.
	Anyway, they're stirring things up in Greece already.
	It sounds like a picnic.
	It sounds like a happening time.
	It sounds like a great time.
	Yes, I wish I could go.
	Pass some community relations on.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	A little pork, a little booze, a little... what is it they drink?
	Ouzo?
	Pour some wine out for the gods?
	Yes, Retsina and Ouzo.
	Having a great time.
	Singing some songs.
	In any case, it looks like, gosh, we've come all too soon to the end of our time.
