The Virus Marches On

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest edition of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me, of course, is the indispensable Paul Kersey.
And you may recall that at the time of the last program, Mr. Kersey said we were going to start with questions from our listeners.
And if Mr. Kersey says that's what we're going to do, we had sure bloody well better do it.
So, before we leap into other things, and we've got a whole lot to leap into, Let us take up this question.
This was with regard to a book that Mr. Kersey had mentioned at the last podcast, and he praised it, and deservedly so.
It's a book called I Heard It Through the Grapevine, and after the colon, the title is Rumor in African American Culture.
And it goes into very considerable detail about the quite preposterous things that our African-American fellow citizens are likely to believe, mainly about the viciousness and wickedness of whites.
It's written by a very light-skinned black woman by the name of Patricia Turner, and it was put out by University of California Press back in 1993.
But she teaches African American Studies at UCLA.
And when I checked, the book is available as a Kindle download.
So it is available even though it is fairly old.
This is one of the great wonders of the modern age.
Even books published back in 1993 are available for those who seek.
And so, having done what Mr. Kersey said we would do, we can proceed.
Now, I would like to have something else, though.
Our last podcast must have been stolen by the elves, at least from YouTube.
Several people informed us that as soon as we uploaded it, and they got their notification, it must have been within half an hour, maybe?
Some people were listening to it, and it was snatched off the air!
Yes, the fairies got it!
So, if you were one of those poor people who were victimized in mid-podcast, and you'd like to find out how the exciting story ends, you can always go to the American Renaissance website, where we have all, every last one, And I haven't let Mr. Kersey put in a single word, which is most unusual, and I'm sure he's champing at the bit.
So, you have the floor, Mr. Kersey.
Well, good morning, good afternoon, good evening to our listeners worldwide.
I hope that you're having a fine time socially distancing, quarantining during this exceptional crisis that we find ourselves in.
I think this is, what, one month into the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis.
And there is one more question, Mr. Taylor.
I'm going to put you on the spot here.
Okay, yet another question, by all means.
Somebody sent in a question.
They said, give us your observations with this weekend being the 25th anniversary of the publication of Alien Nation and how it correlates to the crisis we find ourselves under with unlimited immigration being one of the reasons why we've seen the China virus be so brutal in this nation.
Well, I had the pleasure, joy, and honor of reviewing Alien Nation when it came out.
There is a review of that excellent book by Peter Brimelow at the AMRAN website.
And it's still well worth reading, both the review and the book.
Of course, that was one of Mr. Brimelow's... Oh, that was back when he was still not a reprehensible, vile, loathsome insect of a so-called white nationalist, which he never actually was.
But that was back when he still had an audience and it's a very, very thorough book, Alien Nation.
And I think the passage in it that most offended the people who are offended by this sort of thing was when he talked about the importance of shifting the demographic changes back in the direction they used to be.
This prompted just shrieks, shrieks of horror And fear and loathing.
But yes, it's a great book.
And for those of you who have not yet read it, it holds up very, very well, despite the 25, you said 25 years?
1995.
Now, your book, Paved with Good Intentions, came out in 1991 or 92?
It was 91, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes.
So, I like to think it holds up pretty well, too, but that is not for me to say.
It's for those who read it.
But the interesting thing is, if you were to skim the index of names, you'll find that many of the characters that pop up in it are the ones that are still in the news.
People like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, You know, Barack Obama was not yet on the scene, of course, but no, I think it holds up pretty well.
But yes, hats off to Peter Rimmelow and his book Alien Nation, and we wish both him and the book a long and fruitful life of many years yet to come.
But returning to the question of the virus, You know, we're going to get later, get into the question later of why it is that so many people are saying that the blacks are more likely to get the virus and die from it than whites.
But one of the things that we do have to point out is that there seems to be a tendency for some of them to break the rules.
One of the most spectacular, of course, was just this last weekend, when in Bakersfield, California, police learned about a party of four to five hundred people, despite the stay-at-home order.
Now, how did the police find out about this?
Maybe they weren't making very much noise at first, but a couple of fellows showed up and fired off nearly 100 rounds of 9mm ammo.
I saw a photograph of some of the shell casings close enough so that I could tell they were 9mm Luger.
And only six were hit, fortunately.
The usual bad aim from the ghetto.
But that is how the police found out about this 4-500 people breaking the quarantine and having a hoedown.
Those six who were hit, they managed, none was killed, but they had to be transported to the hospitals and so that's how they discovered that this party was going on.
Who knows how many four to five hundred person parties are blazing away in California or coast to coast, but that's how they found out about that one.
And then in Baltimore, About right about the same time, the same weekend, a black man threw a party at his house.
And we know about this one only because somebody showed up and shot him dead.
Tragic for him.
He seemed like a fun-loving guy from his photographs.
But that's how we found out about that quarantine bust.
And then also the Chicago police broke up two house parties of dozens of people in Chicago.
And it's very clear from the television footage that This was a party of our African-American fellow citizens.
So, there has been a certain amount of violation of the rules.
Now, so far as I know, no one has done a study of who's more likely to violate the rules than others.
No group studies on this, and so this is purely anecdotal.
But the anecdotes are certainly piling up, and I believe you have one for us from Pensacola, no less.
So this is really something we find really across the country.
I've got two anecdotes for you, Mr. Taylor and dear listener.
First, I want to go back to Baltimore.
Did you know that in Baltimore, the health commissioner Letitia Zarrasa is implementing a targeted ad campaign to reach the city's black residents in hopes of combating rumors that blacks cannot get Yes, yes, I knew about that.
It seems like it took them an awful long time.
I first read about it on a story dated April 14th, that they planned to finally get to work quelling this myth that blacks are invulnerable to the coronavirus.
Well, where have they been?
It seems to me the media have been full of people wringing their hands and telling us to climb into sackcloth and ashes because blacks are getting it at a higher rate than whites.
That's right.
But apparently there's still people all around the country, at least here in Baltimore, who haven't got the word.
But you know, one of the things I heard was there is a professor of political science
at Howard University who explained that one of the reasons that blacks just haven't gotten
the word is that the people telling them don't look like them.
So I guess she's not satisfied with a surgeon general who is an African American.
She wants, I guess she'd prefer a president who is African American telling them that
they could get it too.
But yes, I was aware of that and we wish her luck.
Let's make sure, let us hope that the word finally gets out to black people and so they
don't have these illegal house parties.
Yeah, again, wear a mask.
If you recall, last week we talked about how a lot of African Americans were worried about wearing a mask in public because it might exacerbate certain stereotypes regarding blacks wearing masks and the violence or criminality associated with wearing such an accoutrement.
But what I'm talking about, I want to go back to the anecdote you talked about in California, Chicago, Baltimore, these parties.
In Pensacola, this past Easter weekend, there was a party of about 300 people violating Governor DeSantis' Safer at Home order.
So it took police three hours to break up this massive party.
Now, there was no violence that has been reported.
There were only a couple of arrests, but people were just saying, hey, look, we're just, you know, What's going on here?
You know?
Here's a great quote for you, by the way, from Wilbert McNeil, who was one of the party's organizers.
Quote, Why are we going to be scared to come outside when we don't... Hold on, sorry.
This is, this is shocking.
Let me try again.
Quote, Why are we going to be scared to come outside when we don't even know what we're looking for?
Corona, COVID-19, it ain't coming this way.
End quote.
Well, but you say they were on the beach.
And, you know, you look out to the sea, you look out towards the ocean, and nothing's coming their way.
He's probably right.
But it took three hours.
I guess it's because, you know, people could run in all sorts of directions if you're trying to break up a party on the beach.
But then, yes, black doctors have stepped into this thing about how the coronavirus is afflicting black people.
And of course, it's not the coronavirus' fault.
It's not the black people's fault.
It's the fault of white people.
That's exactly right.
We've got a couple stories here.
Just going to briefly mention them.
One of them is by Dr. Brian Williams.
He's an Associate Professor of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery at the University of Chicago.
He's in the Biological Sciences Division.
He is a black male and he wrote a commentary for Chicago Tribune where he decided to try and associate the coronavirus with Gun violence.
Now, if you're a long-term listener to this podcast, if you read amaran.com, you know that there's been a lot of great data Published regarding who is committing the fatal, non-fatal shootings in Chicago.
Spoiler alert, if you haven't read them, black people.
Now, Chicago is one of the more segregated cities in the country, if not the most segregated city in the country, Mr. Taylor, and in this essay, I'll just read the first couple paragraphs, because I think they're interesting to point out that, like I said, this professor is trying to blame the high rates, the disproportionate rates of deaths of blacks in Chicago from the coronavirus and from gun violence on white people, on redlining.
This is a key word for this podcast.
In fact, that's the word of the day for this podcast is redlining.
Every time you hear it, if you have an adult beverage near you, go and take a shot.
Anyways, he writes this, quote, I was a guest on a national news show recently discussing the racial disparities in COVID-19 related deaths.
Data from several locations shows that black Americans are dying from the disease at rates greater than the general population.
This includes Chicago, where despite compromising 30% of the population, blacks represent 68% of the deaths from the coronavirus.
But another story of equal importance unfolded not far from the secluded office where I gave the interview.
When I was done, I walked down the hallway, following the red arrows, reading Emergency Room This Way, through a door that commanded, everyone must wear a mask, and stepped into a six-bed trauma center.
There lay multiple gunshot victims.
All were black, like me.
So, Mr. Taylor, you can take one more breath here before I let you take over.
He's trying to equate both of these, despite being the population that they are, the minority population, they represent the vast amount of deaths, and he gets into some of the reasons why, and he does blame, wait for it, redlining.
Well, redlining will sure give you the virus.
I think there's no doubt about that.
And I'm glad that he has gotten to the bottom of this problem.
But now the New York Times is equally concerned about the problem of systematic and institutionalized and eternal and always with us racism, is it not?
Yeah, this is a longer piece that I encourage all of our listeners to check out for themselves.
It's entitled, The Way We Ration Ventilators Is Biased.
Not Every Patient Has a Fair Chance.
This was written by Dr. Harold Schmidt.
He's an associate professor in the Department of Medical Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, and he relates a story of a number of different racial groups and the way that they're administered healthcare.
And I do want to point out that he does in one of the paragraphs bring up the fact that one of the black people who was denied, well not denied a ventilator, but he points out that this black individual grew up in a redline part of town accessing health care has been a challenge as accessing loans or healthy food.
Her community has a significant distrust toward the health care system."
And then he does this, Mr. Taylor, "'The Tuskegee syphilis study still casts a long shadow.'"
So in a span of one paragraph in this essay in the New York Times,
this was published in the print edition, he nails two of the three of the racial triumvirate.
Of course, that would be redlining, the Tuskegee syphilis experiment.
He doesn't mention Emmett Till, shockingly.
I'm sure he could have worked Emmett Till in there somehow.
But again, two major newspapers in the country are publishing essays where white people are Well, that is the new normal.
Here we are supposed to be fighting the virus, but then we should instead be fighting racism.
Systemic racism, structural racism, unconscious racism, colorblind racism, medical racism, all, every kind of racism that you could possibly imagine.
That is what we've got to be doing.
And of course occasionally I've been pleased to see that people do talk about underlying health conditions that are different.
Black people are more likely to be obese.
That's a problem.
They're more likely to have diabetes.
That's a problem.
They're more likely to have high blood pressure.
That's a big problem.
They are about six times more likely than whites to have HIV.
That's a problem.
Nobody puts these all together in one place the way I've just been doing, but all of this is a problem in addition to the fact that, as we have discovered, it seems that they are leading the pack when it comes to ignoring quarantine orders.
Now, the thing that nobody wants to talk about at all is there may be even underlying genetic differences between blacks and whites, but that is taboo, taboo, taboo, and we won't even hint at that.
May I ask a quick question of you real quick?
Yes.
This is well before my time, but could you compare just briefly what the initial AIDS scare, HIV scare was like in the mid-80s to what we're seeing today?
Well, there was a joke about that.
You may recall that some of the early HIV cases had to do with people who were Haitian.
And the question of people wondering how they were going to explain that they were in fact gay to their parents was, you know, the real problem is going to be how to convince your parents that you're Haitian.
That was one of the questions.
Never heard that.
No, that was one of the great dilemmas of the time.
But at that time, it was briefly associated with Haitians, but then it very, very quickly became associated with homosexuals.
And the original name, the original name for HIV, as you may or may not know, was called GRID, G-R-I-D, which stood for Gay Related Immunodeficiency.
And so it was associated with homosexuals, but didn't know how it worked.
But this became, of course, a very important thing.
We have to go to work on it.
And by now, it would be interesting to know how many billions of dollars we've spent trying to cure this avoidable disease.
It is, unless you are a victim of an unhappy blood transfusion, there is a sure cure way, an absolutely surefire way to avoid this disease.
But it's something now that we have made essentially manageable.
But if you do have HIV, then you are more likely to get the coronavirus, or if you get the coronavirus, you're more likely to be in trouble with it.
So that is yet another thing that we should try to avoid.
But Moving along, I found some very interesting statistics about the way people's attitudes towards the virus.
And given the kind of partying that we talked about earlier, these data are surprising.
According to a Pew survey conducted in April, Hispanics and blacks are considerably more likely than whites to be very worried about getting COVID-19 and needing to be hospitalized.
Isn't that a surprise?
That is!
43% of Hispanics and 31% are very worried about getting the disease and having to be hospitalized compared to only 18% for whites.
43% of Hispanics, 31% of blacks and 18% for whites.
Isn't that interesting?
Hispanic adults are also considerably more concerned about unknowingly spreading COVID-19 to others.
Blacks also are more worried than whites.
It's 49% of Hispanics are very worried about unknowingly spreading the virus and 38% of blacks as opposed to only 28% of whites.
Isn't that interesting?
So, if that were the case, you would expect blacks and Hispanics to be much more careful about social distancing, much more assiduous about wearing masks, But that does not appear to be the case.
I found this data quite intriguing, but I thought that it would be worth adding this to this mix of data and anecdote that we are working with today.
Now, I have another.
Oh, this is somewhat remotely a COVID case.
It comes straight out of Santa Ana, California, and it was surveillance video that was just released today in which a man on a bicycle He pedals up to a homeless man sitting on the ground, douses him with some liquid, sets him on fire and pedals away.
It's really one of the most gruesome things I've seen in a long time.
It's astonishing the stuff that ends up on surveillance video these days.
He gave him first-degree burns and the homeless man is barely hanging on.
And Adrian Herrera, age 45, they have caught him and they've charged him with attempted murder.
Now, what's the coronavirus angle on this?
When Mr. Herrera committed his crime, he had a face covering.
And so I assume that he had this on.
So that he would be sure not to infect the homeless guy with the virus.
He was very considered about that.
And this fits in perfectly with the statistics we have from Pew Center saying that Hispanics are considerably more concerned about unwittingly spreading the virus than whites.
And I'm sure this guy felt the same, Mr. Herrera.
But there is, we have another interesting story about social distancing gone wrong.
And this comes from Miami, Florida.
I'm not sure, maybe you've heard about the story, maybe not.
But a woman by the name of Andrea Lacayo and her boyfriend, Sergio Berben, they had arranged to meet a young fellow named George Walton, 19 years old, at an abandoned house in Miami.
They had teamed up on social media and they decided to sell George Walton three pairs of Yeezy sneakers.
That's Y-E-E-Z-Y for those of you who are listening audience who are just as ignorant as I. I'd never heard of Yeezy sneakers.
And apparently the agreed-upon price was $935.
That works out to $311 per pair.
That seems pretty pricey to me.
But Yeezy, as I looked up, is a kind of an Adidas sub-brand.
And did you know that you can pay as much as $3,090 for a Yeezy shoe called the Yeezy Boost 350 Turtle Dove?
You can get it off the internet.
I did know that.
I did know that.
Do you know that the sneaker sub-market is one of the biggest investment markets out there right now?
Well, I bet so.
And you'll be glad to know, everyone listening will be glad to know, that if you splash out $3,090 for the Yeezy Boost 350 Turtle Dove, you'll get free delivery.
So I think I'll pick up a couple of pairs.
In any case, to continue with this story, when George Walton arrived, he arrived with an accomplice.
He reportedly asked to try on the shoes and the boyfriend, Mr. Bear Ben, responded that he wanted to have payment first.
At this point, George Walton's pal, Adrian Cosby, also age 19, he walked up next to the car and he opened fire.
And the poor girl, Andrea Lacayo, was killed.
And Braben was wounded, but Braben sped off to try and help Lacayo, but she later died from her injuries.
Now, the accomplice in this thing, George, well, I'm sorry, the fellow who was supposed to buy the shoes had no priors, but his pal, Adrian Cosby, likewise 19, he has been arrested while still a juvenile.
Still a juvenile for grand theft auto, robbery, carrying concealed weapon, etc.
So once again, this is a story of social distancing gone wrong.
And I think, you know, Yeezy, Yeezy, on the basis of this story, should come up with a new advertising slogan, shoes to die for.
What do you think?
Well, you know, back at the same time that your book came out and Peter Brimlow's book came out, there were a number of major periodicals, Time Magazine and Newsweek, that kept publishing stories about Nike and about all of the violence associated with every release of the latest Air Jordan iteration.
This has been going on for 30 years.
Yes, it's been going on for a long, long time.
I must say, as I say since I was an ignoramus, I'm a fashion moron and didn't really know anything about Yeezys.
I checked them out online and they look like fairly ordinary sneakers to me.
They're not these gold and super padded and full of bangles and It's moving on with our coronavirus stories.
They look like fairly ordinary sneakers to me, but I guess they are the very much the
in thing and they are, if not the shoes to die for, at least the shoes to kill for.
But it's moving on with our coronavirus stories.
Over the weekend, there were the usual calls for illegal immigrants to be turned loose
from detention.
And the reason, of course, is that because they are in detention, if coronavirus starts whipping through the ICE detention centers, some of them might get sick.
So there was a protest, an automobile protest, a convoy of 100 cars.
They were keeping their distance so as to show a good example of how not to get the virus.
Nice social distancing in their own cars.
This was in Eloy, Arizona, and this was just last Friday.
Now, it was organized by something called the Puente Human Rights Movement, and the other co-organizing group was something called Trans Queer Pueblo.
In any case, they were trying to cover all their bases, I suppose.
Now, as Maxima Guerrero, who is from the Puente Human Rights Movement, explained, Because of the close quarters in these ICE detention camps, there is a risk of their turning into, as she put it, death camps.
Death camps.
Okay?
Death camps.
Well, that's sort of a ring of Central European history of more than a half century ago.
Death camps.
Well, there were signs on these automobiles.
One of them that was popular was called, was, let my people go.
Hmm.
My people?
Who do you figure my people are?
Along with Abolish ICE and Liberen a todos, liberty for all, no one is illegal on stolen land, detention is deadly.
Well, you know, I was curious to know just how bad the coronavirus problem is in the ICE detention centers.
And as of mid-April, The full count of the full inventory of people in ICE custody was 33,863.
Now, how many out of that number, 33,863, I'm going to ask you a completely unfair question.
Well, I won't even ask you a question.
I'll give you the answer.
How many cases have been found out of those 33,863?
And the number is not zero, by the way.
It's probably less than 1%.
Oh gosh, yes.
It's 69 cases.
69 cases.
That's probably point... Well, I won't do the math now.
That looks like at about 0.05% to me.
Correct.
And no deaths reported.
But, you know, if detention really is something that is going to, because of those close quarters, turn these ICE establishments into dens of death and destruction then there is one way that they can be released and that is they can easily breathe
The free air of Honduras and El Salvador.
It seems to me that's the obvious solution.
If they must be released, then why not send them to their original place of origin?
Of course, I think given a choice, what they really want to do is not go back to Honduras and El Salvador, but they would prefer to go to California.
And Mr. Kersey, I will count on you to tell our rapt listeners why they'd rather go to California.
I wish I didn't have to tell the reason why they'd rather go to California and tell you that they could be flying on these empty Delta United American Airlines flights and the government could be paying to make sure that all these pilots and ground crew and stewardess actually had work to do by deporting massive amounts of illegal aliens to the country of their origin, but unfortunately You're right, they can go to California now, and the reason being Governor Newsom has decided that they're going to spend $75 million of taxpayer money to create a disaster relief fund exclusively for illegal aliens in California.
Mmm.
Heartwarming.
Yes.
It is.
It is.
Here's his quote, We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in
fear of deportations that are still addressing essential needs of tens of millions of Californians.
He then noted that 10% of the state's workforce are immigrants living in the country illegally,
who paid more than $2.5 billion in state and local taxes last year.
Mr. Taylor, of course, failed to note how much those illegal aliens who live in the state of California are actually taking from the citizens of California in terms of goods, services, welfare benefits, free lunches for their kids, etc.
etc.
on the taxpayer dime.
Well, of course, these days, just the fact of being here illegally makes you a superior person.
It is a reason to feel grateful to them, as Governor Newsom has so eloquently said.
Somehow, that's a feeling I don't have, but then there are other feelings that Governor Newsom has that I don't have as well.
Well, what's fascinating about the story, they actually get the number wrong initially.
The number's actually $125 million.
So the initial report in the inverted pyramid style of the reporting is wrong.
It's not $75, it's $125 million.
Well, grateful Californians, I'm sure will be happy to dip into their back pocket and add to their taxes so that these people can be bailed out.
immigrants in the state, I think it's safe to say that you could probably
double that, maybe even triple that amount based on what's happening in
California. And here's a... Oh, go ahead, Mr. Taylor. Well, grateful Californians, I'm sure
will be happy to dip into their back pocket and add to their taxes so that
these people can be bailed out. I'm sure they feel that way.
Of course, there is a different reaction to this, and that is the number of
people who would just Let's assume immigration stop legal or illegal.
Is that not the case?
Yeah, this is a great, you know, this is your white pillow of the day.
I'm going to go ahead and throw out the word redlining again in case you are deciding to have a drink, because you should have a drink of cheer when you hear this story, dear listener.
It turns out that almost 8 in 10 Americans want immigration to the United States paused during this Chinese coronavirus crisis, as unemployment, of course, has reached Great depression levels.
22 million people now are unemployed.
Another 4.5 million just filed for unemployment this week alone, Mr. Taylor.
But this poll, it's an Ipsos poll.
I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
It finds that Americans are almost totally unified in their support for pausing immigration during this just catastrophic time period where, you know, more and more businesses are furloughing workers.
You probably don't go to the store that often, but Best Buy just furloughed 43,000 workers nationwide yesterday.
Well, doesn't it seem absolutely obvious?
Well, of course, while we've got a travel ban, wouldn't you assume that there's an immigration, sort of a de facto immigration moratorium?
I think, of course, Jeff Sessions' idea is really, really quite brilliant.
Tell us about that.
Well, Jeff Sessions, as we all know, he is fighting for his political life.
On June 30th, there will be a runoff between Mr. Sessions and the former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville, who actually lives in Florida, not even a resident of Alabama, for that Republican nomination.
Whoever wins that will be the next senator from Alabama.
But Jeff Sessions has decided, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and go to the right of Trump and the entire Republican Party when it comes to immigration, and he has called for a temporary immigration moratorium.
That is a word that you should have seared into your vocabulary.
Use it as much and frequently as you can.
Incessantly, even.
He called for this just this morning, Thursday, April 16th.
He said that his plan would halt all employment-based immigration until the U.S.
unemployment rate falls below 3.5%.
That was, of course, the unemployment rate back in February.
Before the China virus struck the United States.
He said this, quote, American families and workers must come first.
It is morally wrong and economically disastrous to import more foreign workers when millions of Americans are out of
work through no fault of their own, end quote.
You know, who could disagree with that?
Who could disagree with that?
Now, I'm sure we'd have no trouble finding someone to disagree with that, but who that has got his head screwed on in anything resembling the right way could possibly disagree with that.
And there are a number of other proposals that you have lined up.
I think you've got a great set of platform really on employment and immigration that I just can't, it's hard for me to imagine people disagreeing with.
Yeah, immigration moratorium would be the top of that list.
Obviously, the second would be to immediately institute a nationwide E-Verify program so that we know immediately what companies are still hiring illegal aliens at a time period when you have 22 million Americans filing for unemployment.
Just this catastrophic number.
You can't use that word enough.
This is catastrophic what's happening.
E-Verify needs to be implemented from this day moving forward.
Again, who could disagree?
Who could disagree?
And what's your number three point?
Number three would be simply this.
Birthright Citizenship Executive Order.
Finally, let's get it implemented.
Let's actually fight to determine what American citizenship means during this time period where we are seeing the importance of a nation-state and a state response to a crisis.
You know, real quick, I'm going to make one quick point.
I think it is very important that you actually have a state response to what's happening, because only the state could step in and institute what President Trump tried to do back in January, a travel ban.
Now you have to actually make sure it happens, because unfortunately we still had hundreds of thousands of Chinese coming to this country who were students, and the state can only do that.
But my fourth plan, we've talked about immigration moratorium, we've talked about E-Verify, we've talked about Birthright citizenship and the fourth plan.
I'm actually blanking on it right now, but I'm sure it's great.
Sorry.
I have no doubt about it.
It'll occur to you later on.
It'll occur to me later on.
We will fill in our breathless listeners on that point.
But, you know, I think these three points that you've mentioned are almost so obvious that Well, except for birthright citizenship, a lot of people have this just, to me, quizzically curious idea that somehow just because you staggered into the country and gave birth to a child, you should be the mother of a U.S.
citizen.
But I think more and more people are beginning to think that that is a rather strange way to run a country and, as you say, This virus and the way we are reacting to it, this is giving a real shot in the arm the notion of nation.
And now would be a perfect time to propose this just by executive order as you and I have been suggesting for ever since Mr. Trump took the oath of office.
Oh, and the fourth one.
I'll tell you what it is.
I can't believe I forgot.
It's taxing remittances.
This is something that's so simple when you consider that in 2017 China received $17 billion from Chinese workers in the United States and Mexico $30 billion.
You're just 10% remittance tax.
You're talking about $3 billion from Mexico and $1.7 billion from China alone.
How hard is this?
Agreed, agreed.
In no time you could build a wall with that kind of money.
Uh, so yes, you know, if you, uh, I would vote for you for president, Mr. Kersey on those, on those planks in your platform alone.
I think that's wonderful.
Well, this is one of the things I think our listeners need to know.
We don't need radical change.
Obviously, we do want people to understand the importance of race and racial differences, and getting people to understand that you can't axiomatically blame whites for all the problems that befall racial disparities.
You can't always say, well, it's obviously white people's fault.
It's obviously systemic racism, implicit bias, and structural inequalities.
No, it's not.
I'm sorry.
As we discussed earlier, Mr. Taylor, We're seeing nationwide parties full of who?
Largely black people who are violating the stay-in-place rules, which is only augmenting the crisis in their community.
Now, these benefits, guess what?
Who really would benefit from an immigration moratorium?
We've talked about this.
Yes, obviously blacks would be the one who would benefit most and this to me is a perfect example of how their so-called leaders have really betrayed ordinary black people.
Who is hurt the most by people who are coming into this country willing to work for under the table pay, cut rate rates, the people who are hurt most are blacks and why blacks are absolutely up in arms about this is something of a mystery to me.
Of course, all of their so-called leaders are in the lap of the Democrats and they don't dare step outside the party line when it comes to anything the Democrats say.
But this is, to me, the rankest sort of betrayal.
And that's what this whole China virus, COVID-19, coronavirus crisis has shown.
The importance, as you said, of the nation-state.
But more importantly, this is an opportunity for those who want to run for office.
You want to run as a Democrat, Republican, whatever.
But you can bring these points up and you can say, why are we still believing that globalism benefits Americans, when we're outsourcing all these jobs and we're bringing in people who are then undercutting wages in our country.
This is simple, simple stuff.
Yes, and now is a great time to beat that drum.
But we still have a couple more coronavirus stories that just seems to dominate the news.
Just an update on the coronavirus jailbreak.
We have those all over the country.
In this case, the jailbreaker is James Little.
Now, he's 40 years old.
Back when he was 15, he pleaded guilty to a murder on Coley Island, and he was sentenced to seven years to life in 1995 for this killing.
Well, in March, after he'd gotten up, he was back in the pen for strangulation.
That's all I could find out about his particular crime.
I'd never realized that was a crime.
Sounds like assault to me, but he was in the pen for strangulation, but Just a few days later, in fact, seven days later, he was turned loose because of coronavirus.
Well, it didn't take him long.
Then about a week after that, on April 7th, He tried to rob a bank, an Apple Bank, in Irving Place in Gramercy Park, and he wore a face mask and gloves.
You know, this is what gives black people a bad name, you know.
This is why people don't dare, black people don't dare go out with a face mask and gloves, because people associate that with bank robbers.
I wonder why.
In any case, they busted Mr. Little the very next day, and they've linked him to two previous bank robberies.
They believe they knocked over two midtown banks, leaving with about $1,000 on each occasion.
So once again, we have a fellow who was turned loose despite the fact that he was a murderer.
He was just, but he was one of these deserving people who might have caught the coronavirus.
And so I guess he's back in the pokey.
Now, there is another fellow, his name is Joseph Williams.
On March 13th, he was arrested for possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia, but just six days later, on March 19th, he was one of 164 people Who were released as low-risk prospects, but he had quite a rap sheet.
He'd been arrested for a total of 35 charges in just the past two years.
His felony offenses included burglary of an unoccupied conveyance.
I guess, you know, if you steal a Christmas present out of Santa's sleigh, that would be burglary of an unoccupied conveyance if Santa's not there.
That sounds like theft from an automobile.
But also felon in possession of a firearm.
Well, by 1040, just the very next day, he was called to the scene in Tampa, by the way.
I forgot to mention where this took place.
This is in Tampa, Florida, where a man had been shot dead and he is the fellow who appears to be responsible.
So, they let this guy out along with all of these other deemed low-risk types.
Well, low-risk turned out to be high-risk.
Now, they had mugshots of him in the papers.
And of course, he is one of our African American fellow citizens.
And he's one of these people who just take one look at him and think, this guy is never going to be low risk in his life.
You know, some people just have this ferocious look on them.
And he's got a few tattoos on his face as well, which does not make him seem warm and cuddly either.
So just a little update on the kinds of people who are being released into the community, because we are afraid that the little darlings might Catch the coronavirus while they are in the big house.
What a great way to describe these individuals being released during the China virus.
Little darlings.
I like that.
Yes, little darlings.
We can't have them getting sick.
But there is a point, you know, it's hard to maintain social distancing when you are locked up.
Now, I did want to take the time to read verbatim from an essay that appeared at Salon by a fellow named Chauncey de Vega.
Now, I am not a connoisseur of the really outrageous stuff that gets published on the internet.
Salon, of course, is a perfectly respectable, mainstream publication.
But this just sort of tumbled into my inbox the other day, and it caught my eye.
And I just thought I would regale our readers with some passages.
And remember, I'm reading verbatim from Mr. Chauncey DeVega, again, one of our African American fellow citizens.
He says, ultimately, Donald Trump leads a political cult tied together in a knot of collective narcissism strengthened by the twin beasts of white supremacy and white identity politics.
He goes on to say, Donald Trump is obsessed by a racist vendetta against Barack Obama, the United States' first black president.
This obsession drove Trump and his agents to end disease prevention and other programs put in place by the Obama administration.
In other words, he so hates Barack Obama because he's black that apparently Mr. Obama had put in place all sorts of things that could have stopped this virus dead in his tracks But Donald Trump took that all apart and, you know, has spread the virus far and wide.
Now, I continue to quote, Donald Trump and his agents, we're back to his agents again.
I wonder who his agents are.
Are you one of his agents?
Because we're pretty bad.
I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that would like to try and tie you and me to Mr. Trump.
Yes, secret agents.
Probably some have tried, actually.
But no, that's not the case.
Never met the man, never spoke to the man.
He wouldn't know me from Adam.
Donald Trump and his agents are using xenophobia Nativism, bigotry, and racism to distract the American people from his administration's failure to respond to the coronavirus crisis.
Now, this is, I will read to you the full justification for this remark.
The xenophobia, nativism, bigotry, and racism to distract from his failures in the virus.
For example, the Trump regime has called the novel coronavirus the Chinese virus and the foreign flu.
Now that is racism and bigotry I've ever seen.
And this is the absolute killer.
CBS News Weijia Jiang reported.
That White House officials describe the coronavirus as the Kung Flu in her presence.
That's an expression you yourself has used.
So, I think you belong in the White House as one of the officials because you use the same language they do.
But that is the full extent of this guy's justification for saying that Donald Trump is using xenophobia, nativism, bigotry, and racism.
To distract people from his failures.
Now, let me continue.
I won't go on much further, but we have gotten a flavor of Chauncey DeVega.
He says, mass incarceration and the surveillance state have been justified and expanded because of white America's easily manipulated, fantastical and hysterical fears of black crime.
And black crime is in scare quotes.
I'll read that again.
White America's easily manipulated, fantastical, and hysterical fears of, quote, black crime, unquote.
Then he goes on to say, racism and white supremacy are roadblocks to creating that better America.
That was true before the nation's founding.
It remains true in the age of Trump and the pandemic he has made possible.
Did you know that Trump made the pandemic possible?
I did not know that, but I stand corrected.
Well, you know, I guess it's like Pandora's box.
You open the box and out flew the coronavirus!
And this is probably one of my favorite lines.
After having told us just how bloody awful front, left, back, center Donald Trump is, here's the key phrase.
And how did Donald Trump become President of the United States?
Racist white voters.
And that's in boldface type.
Racist white voters.
So, that's the way it is.
If you are Chauncey DeVega, what else could we possibly need to know about what's going on?
That's a hard one to top.
I guess that I'm sure he's written a piece about Stacey Abrams and those overwhelmingly blacks in Georgia who voted for her for governor back in 2018.
And he probably dubbed them enlightened ebony voters.
I bet.
Of course, enlightened.
Certainly not racist because we know that African Americans cannot be racist.
Well, here's a little bit of worldwide news about the virus.
Apparently with the blessing of the World Health Organization, Wuhan has reopened its wet markets.
China State TV showed the market being reopened to its customers and it's called wet markets because a lot of the live stuff is fish of one sort or another and they want them swimming in tanks so that you know that it's fresh.
If it's live and kicking you know it's fresh and of course there are cages in which they have live animals of all sorts, some of whose
names you wouldn't even know.
But yes, WHO thought this was a great idea, and because America is the biggest overall donor to the
World Health Organization, we kick in 400 million a year.
That's about 15% of its budget.
Trump has stopped the payments.
Now, these wild and frequently poached animals are packed together.
And all of this, you've got these weird species that never ever commingle.
And so it's a great opportunity for microbes and viruses to flip from one species to another.
It's kind of an incubator for a multitude of wee beasties that evolve and jump humans, live animals are slaughtered, the blood flows.
But they have opened up the Wuhan market because I guess the Chinese really need that bat soup.
But, after that story, I think you had something of a good news story about Denmark.
Before we get to that, you've traveled extensively.
Have you ever had bat soup?
No.
I had never even heard of bat soup until the virus story got around.
I think I told you my unhappy experience in the equivalent of the wet market in Taiwan.
They have their own rather exotic Markets in Taipei as well since I told that story once I'll maybe wait another year before I tell it again Maybe I hope a year from now.
We will not still be talking about viruses, but yes, I have seen this sort of thing and it It's sobering.
It's sobering and surprising and it makes you a nationalist Yes, yes it does.
Well, I'll tell you what also makes yourself a nationalist or makes you feel glad to be a nationalist.
That's a story out of Denmark where they've set up a new agency which is tasked with one thing and one thing only.
Repatriating illegal migrants.
The government is in the process of creating a new authority, which is basically being done to try and fend off the increasingly popular nationalist party in the country, the Social Democrats.
That's the party with the most seats in Denmark's parliament.
They prioritize the expulsion of illegal migrants.
Imagine that, Mr. Taylor and dear listener.
You have pressure from these upstart political parties, and of course you have this parliamentary process there, It's not a winner-take-all system, but it's based on the electoral consequences of the election and how they divvy up party seats, which is kind of hard for an American to understand, but this is forcing the Social Democrats to basically say, we've got to take some of these parties' ideas or else we're not going to be in charge anymore.
That's right.
It's a great thing.
You know, the tipping point seems to be at about 15% of the vote.
That if 15% of the people are voting for a sensible political party that really wants to send back the illegals, then all the folks who have been weak sisters on the subject suddenly get religion.
It's quite remarkable.
When the post-mortem on the China virus is done in places like Italy, where the Lombardy area has been the hardest hit because you have, I think, what, 300,000 Chinese?
They all came back because, again, as you just mentioned, the World Health Organization being defunded by Trump.
They were telling people that, hey, this virus wasn't even You couldn't even pass it person to person back in January, and on February 4th, they attacked President Trump's travel ban as being xenophobic and racist, and legitimizing fears of the other.
And what we're seeing, though, is that nationalism is the future, and basically, if you don't want to believe that, get out of the way.
And that's what we're seeing in Denmark, where the leading political party, the Social Democrats, they're going to be operating under the Ministry of Immigration and Integration, this is a great name by the way, the Home Travel Agency, which will begin its operations on August 1st, and will be in charge of sending foreigners without legal residence in Denmark Back to their homes.
Yeah, I think that's great, too.
The Home Travel Agency.
We need one of those, too.
Boys and girls, we're going home!
Homeward bound!
Yes, it just sounds so cozy and happy, doesn't it?
The Home Travel Agency.
I think the Home Travel Agency, you could set it up in places like Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Chicago, areas where you have these major airports.
And interestingly enough, where there are major airports, there are usually large populations of illegal immigrants.
And like I said, a lot of these airplanes are empty right now.
And I know that shareholders of these companies are probably getting a little frightened about what's going to happen when the first quarter reports come out.
And I'm sure that they would love it if they could have flights full of illegal aliens heading back to their Well, that's right.
What was the figure I quoted earlier today?
In ICE custody, as of mid-April, 33,863 people.
And as I said earlier, all of these activists want them turned loose into the general population.
I love it when they talk about the United States as if we're a big prison.
We did have one more question.
I just heard the third guest here.
them turned loose, but 33,863 people, that would fill up a lot of airplane seats. And I would
consider that a very effective and legitimate use of taxpayer dollars to give them the treatment that
they would get in Denmark from the Home Travel Agency. We did have one more question. I just
heard the third guest here. One of our listeners wanted to know your cat's name, Mr. Taylor.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Well, this is good grief.
I guess you have heard the third host of our party laughing.
I mean, the second host.
Well, that's confidential information.
You just never know how this kind of information can be misused.
I would not want my cat's name bandied about the internet.
We believe in privacy.
No photos, no personal information.
So, that question remains unanswered.
Totally fine.
That's a good answer.
Now, we have yet another international coronavirus story.
This is an event that took place in a town called Balbhunpura.
Guess what country Balbhunpura is?
Well, that's the renamed Oakland, right?
That's pretty good.
No, that's the original name for a town in India.
And what happened is this.
There was an imam, a Muslim imam, whose name remains unspecified in news reports.
I like to always authenticate these things by putting in people's full names, but I don't know why he's not been named.
Maybe he's a minor.
In any case, he's an unnamed imam.
Well, he was at a knees-up, a Muslim knees-up of some kind, where 15 people came down and tested positive.
He was one of them.
And so he was continuing to preach and have congregations.
And so the police decided that they'd better put him into quarantine.
Well, his fellow Muslims were having none of that.
Hundreds of them came out into the streets to prevent this cleric from being quarantined.
And that was the end of the story.
The people thought that he ought to be put under observation and stopped from holding his services.
But the crowd surrounded the police and the medical team sent into the area And even they even brought in local Muslim politicians to try to calm them down but it all failed and they whisked away the unnamed imam and so he is still on the loose.
Now this sort of thing apparently happens more than once.
There was a similar incident in Pakistan just a few days earlier where police tried to enforce a quarantine law by closing down a mosque but they were chased away violently by a mob that tried to thrash them.
And to that I say, Allahu Akbar!
God is great.
God is certainly greater than any virus.
Well, it sounds like another day in Minneapolis.
Yes.
Oops, the time is moving on here.
We'd better, you know, I guess we'll finish up, unless you have some other exciting stories to tell us, with what's going on in the EU and the virus.
There's a French economist by the name Jean-Paul Fitoussi.
He sounded the alarm that lack of solidarity in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic could spell the end of the European Union.
So, this is a good news story.
Very good news story.
In an interview with the Italian news website.
He said that the fact that the richer countries will not agree on mutualization of debt.
That's a fancy word for the rich countries bailing out the poor countries.
He wanted the EU to issue debts that everybody would pay on even if you didn't need the money.
The money would go to the people, the countries that were poor and it's the people that had money.
They, the country, the money they would foot the bill.
But this economist says It was foreseeable that the northern countries would say no to the mutualization of debt, but without mutualizing debt, today's crisis is not resolved and not doing it is collective suicide.
If there is no real solidarity, we will either continue to go even further underwater or do something politically incorrect, but inevitable.
In other words, enough.
We want to get out.
That could happen now.
It is interesting to me that my second favorite of all politicians in the world, Matteo Salvini, he's after Viktor Orban.
Viktor Orban is number one.
He has gotten wind of this and he says, I hope the pro-Europeans have understood that if Europe means hunger and death and sacrifice, it's not the future that we must leave to our children.
Let's take back our country into our hands without going cap in hand to anyone.
Long live Italy and long live the Italians.
And I say, long live Matteo Salvini.
So, I believe my time is up, sir.
Our time is up, but real quick, we need your time for one second.
Head over to AmRen.com and check out the latest version of the Great Replacement series.
Three cities have been done now.
1910 to 2020, the population decline of whites.
You can read about Washington, D.C., Birmingham, Alabama, and most recently, New York City.
This is a combination job of Gregory Hood, Henry Wolfe, and myself, Paul Kersey.
So, for Jared Taylor, before we get going, I guess we'd like to say we'd love to hear your questions or any stories, so shoot them over to us.
BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, that email is BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com or ContactOstab at Amarin.com.
So, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
We are wishing you Peace and prosperity during your social distancing during this trying time.
