Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the latest edition of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me, of course, is the irreplaceable and inimitable Paul Kersey.
Always glad to have you with us, Mr. Kersey, and let me remind our listeners that the episode before last was stolen, snatched away by the fairies.
And those of you who would like to see what we were up to two weeks ago, we welcome you to the American Renaissance website, amren.com, which has a complete and total archive of every one of these podcasts.
Now, we have to start with a story that Mr. Kersey insisted that we include in this podcast, and what Mr. Kersey wants, Mr. Kersey gets.
I think that this is going to be a complete damp squib of a story and yet another example of our fearless president, Donald Trump, whose motto seems to be, talk very softly and, no, it's the other way around, roar like an elephant, bellow like a bull, but carry a tiny stick.
So, the floor is yours, Mr. Kersey.
Well, dear listener, I wish I didn't have to take the floor in such an inauspicious manner because President Trump tweeted out on April 20th this, quote, in light of the attack from the invisible enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our great American citizens, I will be signing an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States, end quote.
Now, Mr. Taylor, when you first heard news of this, what was your initial reaction?
Yippee!
And of course we now know that that news it caught everyone off guard in the White House and the initial draft was impressive it would have suspended a multitude of visa worker programs stopping the immediate importation of thousands of foreign workers while more than 26.5 million americans that's just such an unbelievable number 26.5 million americans have filed for unemployment in recent weeks due to the chinese coronavirus the wu flu the gung flu whatever you want to call it the wuhan virus
People being furloughed.
So people thought that this bill was going to be impressive and it was going to actually stop all immigration.
No green cards, no H-1Bs.
You know, suspend e-visas, H-2B visas, J-1 visas.
It basically did none of that.
We don't need to get into details of and the weeds of what this bill did, but it was a big complete... Lucy's got the football, Charlie Brown's gonna kick it through the goalposts, and instead Lucy He picked the football up before Charlie Brown could even miss the kick and grabbed a gun out and shot Charlie right in the head.
So, that's the equivalent of what it was.
That's about the size of it.
That's about the size of it.
It was just so full of holes.
It was one of the most flimsiest pieces of Swiss cheese you could come up with.
Now, the thing has not yet gone into effect, but by the time it does, I think it's going to be a huge ho-hum.
But, as you've pointed out many times, what more appropriate measure could there be Stopping people, certainly people looking for jobs, coming into this country when you have, did you say 26 million people out of work?
26 million people have filed for unemployment, Mr. Taylor.
Right.
So this is certainly the time to put the kibosh on yet more people piling into the country.
And he had a good idea, but once again, it has just been nibbled away to next to nothing.
Well, we don't want to go into the weeds like you said, but just real quick, there is one thing I do want to point out with this, with this bill does allow an exemption.
That wasn't originally included, but EB-5 visa program, which provides green cards to wealthy Chinese investors.
Get this.
They're allowed.
They're exempted with this program.
It's just such a slap in the face.
We're just going to take their temperature at the border, and so long as they walk in with a million dollars, we'll just wrap our arms around them and clutch them to our bosoms.
But yes.
I'll let you do that.
Right, that's my specialty, clutching Chinese millionaires in my bosom.
But let's move on to Kizmekia Shanta Corbett.
Known to her friends as Kizzy.
You may have heard of her.
She's the lead member of the U.S.
government team racing to find a vaccine for the coronavirus.
Well, she's one of our African-American fellow citizens.
And until recently, until her Twitter account went private because of certain revelations, she was tweeting quite regularly.
And her Twitter biography read as follows.
Now, she has a PhD in virology and her biography read, Virology, Vaccinology, Vagina-ology and Veno-ology.
What was that third one again?
What was that third one again?
Vagina-ology.
I've never ever heard that.
When I was younger, I listened to the Beastie Boys and some of these more risque, more humor types, and they never even deigned to use that word or make it up.
Well, how about Veno-ology?
She is a quadruple V. You've heard of Triple X?
Well, she's quadruple V.
But, you know, with virology, vaccinology, vaginology, and venology, she's a well-rounded girl.
In vino veritas.
Yes.
In any case, with respect to the White House Coronavirus Task Force, she said, quote, it's largely people, white men, Trump appointed to their positions as directors of blah blah institute.
Well, she's at NIH.
That's one of those institutes they come from.
Blah blah institute.
They are indebted to serve him, not the people.
But that's just a warm-up, ladies and gentlemen, because someone had suggested to Kizzy on April 9th, it's so scary to think about.
I know when it comes down to it, people will be turned away or left to die because they are black.
Well, the lead vaccine searcher tweeted right back, yep, both.
They'll be left to die or turned away because they are black.
Now, another Twitter user had sent a message to her saying, they hate us.
Us meaning, of course, our African American fellow citizens.
And goes on to say, this virus is a surefire way to get rid of us without having to lift a finger.
Well, Kizzy replied, I quote, some have gone so far as to call it genocide.
I plead the fifth.
She's pleading the fifth.
So she thinks this might be genocide.
Then you remember when Jerome Adams, our black surgeon general, recommended that black Americans avoid cigarettes and alcohol and not take illegal drugs so as to keep their health up during the epidemic.
Dr. Corbett, Kizzy Corbett, retweeted another user's thread saying that these suggestions were, quote, offensive because they ignore systemic racism, as if the behavior of blacks might have anything to do with getting sick or being unhealthy.
And the thread ended with this.
Dr. Fauci and Dr. Adams, that's Jerome Adams, check your privilege.
Stop spreading harmful fallacies that support white supremacy.
Now, on March 20th, and this is my favorite, this is my favorite, March 20th she tweeted, Last year, I took 17 trips.
Now, 17 was really emphasized.
17 trips!
She took 17 trips last year.
This year, I have cancelled bucket list vacations in Netherlands, Spain, Jamaica, and Greece.
Then she goes on to say, this is the reason millennials should be fighting for research funding for future pandemics.
We deserve to be in these streets.
In other words, poor Kizzy, on account of this virus, Has had to cancel her vacations in the Netherlands, Spain, Jamaica, and Greece.
And here's a lady who's looking for the virus.
I'm sorry, the vaccine for the virus.
And she's not apparently worried about people dying from it.
She's worried she's going to miss her vacation.
Poor dear, poor darling Kizzy.
Well, just a little bit about her.
This woman who seems to think that white society is out to get her and thinks the virus might be an attempt at genocide.
Well, she got a full scholarship to the University of Maryland on one of those special fellowships for adding to diversity in the sciences.
Then she, yes, oh yes, oh yes, then she got a doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, that too on a full-ride scholarship, and then she swanned right into the NIH's Vaccine Research Center as a postdoc fellow.
And this is the lady who has been petted and petted and coddled all her life, as far as I can tell, who thinks that we are trying to eliminate her by means of this coronavirus, and she's in charge of looking for the vaccine.
Now, doesn't that make you pleased?
It really makes you realize that the more white society showers these people with accolades and honors, the more they resent us.
I've got one I want to read to you from another Black.
This is a very light-skinned Black physician.
She's an anesthesiologist by the name of Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton.
She's an ICU physician, and she tweeted out on April 22nd, quote, 2,804 Americans died yesterday from COVID-19.
Blacks have mortality rates nearly three times other races.
Systemic racism leading to increased risk of chronic illness along with being bulk of, quote, essential workers, unquote, puts us at greater risk.
Opening the economy costs us our lives.
And Mr. Taylor, she actually added a picture to this tweet.
It said this, I'm not dying so this country can revive its economy.
My ancestors already made that sacrifice.
Well, and she's an ICU doctor.
Well, you know, she could have avoided the sacrifice entirely by staying in Africa.
And we're going to hear about Africa later on.
For some reason, these people don't just upstakes and move back to the mother continent.
But let's move on to what the Democrats think about jumping Joe Biden.
After all, we had a primary campaign that saw the most diverse group of candidates in the party's history, including six women, And a number of Black, Hispanic, and Asian candidates and the first openly homosexual contender.
And what do we end up with?
This boring old white geezer, Joe Biden.
Now, what do the Democrats think about that?
Well, apparently, apparently 41% of registered Democrats say they're bothered that they're stuck with this old white man in his 70s, according to Pew Research.
But the interesting thing about this is That there are interesting racial differences.
Who is the most upset that they're stuck with Joe?
Is it the whites?
Is it the blacks?
Is it the Hispanics?
Interestingly enough, it's at least the whites who say that they're the most upset, because 72% of blacks say, eh, they don't too much mind that they got stuck with a white man.
70% of Hispanics say, eh, they don't too much mind, but It's only 51% of whites who say they're not too much about it.
That means 49% of whites claim that they're upset that they're stuck with an old white drudge.
So, I thought that was very interesting.
Do you believe them?
Or do you think they're just preening their virtue for the pollsters?
What do you reckon about this?
How come it's white Democrats who are much more likely to say, oh dear, we got stuck with a white man?
Well, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I'm a registered Republican and I'm beginning to get a little upset that we're stuck with this old orange man.
Well, you want some young black women instead?
No, no, no.
Well, speaking of young black women, now you're going to regale us with, I think you've got a story about, now you were a teaser on this.
You said that you've got a story about the 10 black women that Sleepy Joe should choose from.
And you were going to ask me, well, who do you think is on the list?
And boy, I don't even know 10 black women.
I don't think I could give you as many as that.
But, in any case, I bet right at the top of the list is former First Lady Michelle Obama.
I bet she's the top one.
She's not the top one.
Not the top one?
She's not.
The article is from News1.com.
We've talked about them before.
Of course, that's the very black-centric website that has massive corporate Sponsorship.
I mean, I'm looking at their website right now.
They've got an ad from AT&T and Ford.
They are publicly traded.
They're a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, and they put out some of the most shocking anti-white stories you can't even imagine.
Basically, it would be like if a corporation decided to fund... Well, no, because Ameren stories are not drenched with With, you know, with sophomoric, over-the-top, anti-white, I'm sorry, anti-non-white people of color.
This site exists to try and antagonize the people of color, to hate whites, basically.
And the story is, like I said, 10 black women Joe Biden should consider for his vice presidential running mate.
Don't keep me in suspense.
Number one is Stacey Abrams.
Okay, Stacey.
Good old Stacey.
Yes, I can imagine.
Okay, number two is U.S.
Rep Val Demings.
She's a Florida congresswoman and a former chief of police in Orlando.
Wow.
Okay, we need a chief of police in the White House.
So, who's number three?
Kamala.
Who?
Oh, Kamala.
Kamala.
Kamala.
Kamala Harris, our senator from California.
Number four, this one is terrifying because we know the type of Attorney General she's been.
Letitia Tish James, the New York Attorney General.
Oh my gosh, never met a criminal she didn't adore.
Yeah, or one who let out of prison.
Number five is the one you thought should have been number one.
Michelle Obama, the former First Lady.
Well, you know, I bet they put her at number five because she's not sufficiently anti-white to suit them.
But anyway, maybe I'm trying to read their minds.
I think you might be trying to read their minds.
So one of the things that, number six is one of the black members of the squad, Ayanna Pressley.
Oh, of course.
Yes, yes.
She'd be right up there.
Congresswoman from Massachusetts.
Number seven, I've never heard of this individual, U.S.
Rep.
Terry Sewell.
She's a congresswoman from Alabama, and that's about all she's done.
She went hard at President Trump during the impeachment hearings in the House.
Does she write romance novels by any chance?
She does not write romance novels.
No, she doesn't.
Shocks.
That's my favorite.
It is Miss Sewell, so she's not married.
So, you know, maybe she's an aspiring romance novelist.
Okay.
Yes.
Number eight, Nina Turner.
Never heard of Nina.
She's an Ohio State Senator.
She was part of Bernie Sanders, one of the top campaign advisors to that ill-fated campaign.
Nina Turner.
Sounds like one of the backup singers in some Motown band.
Okay.
Number nine.
This one is laughable and it should be laughable even for News One, but they put her on here.
Maxine Waters.
Isn't she in her 80s?
Well, I think hate is keeping her alive and will keep her alive for many, many more years to come.
Good old Maxine.
Hey, keep on truckin' as Tina Turner would sing.
Number 10.
This is one that I think we're going to hear more and more news and rumors about because she could self-finance significant amounts of money to the campaign and she would immediately bring a lot of the sizzle that would undermine President Trump.
That's Oprah Winfrey.
Number 10 is Oprah.
Oh, that's right.
How many billions does she have?
A lot.
Right, right, right.
Wow.
Now, there's an idea.
Now, just in case I mystified any of our listeners by talking about writing romance novels, of course, I was referring to Stacey Abrams, who has spent part of her career writing black I didn't just throw that out as a completely unrelated and silly thing to say.
Although it was silly, it wasn't unrelated.
Wow, Oprah Winfrey!
That's pretty exciting.
Yeah, she could finance pretty much the whole campaign, couldn't she?
She could, and you know, if you're looking at the bank account of the Obamas, it's getting close to being in the billions.
So, Michelle, you know, she could do probably the same.
Wow, wow.
Well, what do you think?
Would you think that there will be a black presidential Veep candidate for good old Joe?
What do you reckon?
You know, I don't even want to go on the record on this one because I'm beginning to lean toward the idea that Joe Biden won't meet a candidate.
His recent appearances and his inability to articulate even a simple sentence, a coherent sentence, when he's been on some of his programs, whether it's his podcast or his videos, it's, you know, having had someone very close to me go through dementia and Alzheimer's, you're seeing some of those same patterns.
Oh dear.
Wow.
Well, yeah, could be.
Well, then let's move on.
Of those ten, though, Mr. Taylor, I will go on record and say I do think Michelle Obama would be the one that would get a lot of Blacks across the country very excited.
If you think about her tour that she did for her book, she's a rock star.
Oh, yes.
I think she'd be by far the best pick if she's willing to serve.
But anyway.
Then, you know, but back to Kamala Harris, Senator of California.
She and other Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are urging law enforcement agencies to provide, guess what, anti-bias training and guidance to police officers because, given the kind of health measures we're supposed to be taking, they're going to encounter more and more people wearing masks.
So, they are wanting the United States government to provide anti-bias training to all police officers in the country who might see a black guy with a mask on, and they have to explain to them, look, this guy might not be a criminal.
As the letter said, they had this letter, they wrote, if communities of color, especially African-American communities, feel at risk of disproportionate or selective enforcement, they may avoid seeking help.
Or adopting precautionary measures recommended by the CDC.
This, in turn, could have dire public health consequences.
So, you know, they've got to have... Right in the middle of this thing, we're going to get all the police officers in one room and explain to them, look, just because a black man is wearing a mask, along with everybody else, a surgical mask, a bandana, just because he looks like everybody else, that doesn't necessarily mean he's a criminal.
Do you think that's a good use of funds during this crisis?
I don't think so.
In any case, This letter was signed by Cory Booker of New Jersey, an African-American fellow citizen, Dick Durbin, who is badly melanin-deprived, and then Maisie Hirono of Hawaii.
And Ben Cardin of Metal.
So you'll be glad to know that they're looking out for the brothers.
And there is just one update.
Oh, by the way, I was going to say, I guess we're going to get back into the old days of who was that masked man?
Now, do you recognize that line?
Who was that masked man?
Is that the Shadow or is that Zorro?
No!
No!
That's the Lone Ranger!
Oh!
You're showing your lack of age.
You're showing your lack of age.
Who was that masked man?
He comes in and saves the day.
Well, I think more and more people are going to be wondering, who was that masked man who just knocked over the bank?
You know, real quick, I know you don't really keep up with pop culture, but in 2010 or 11, Disney did a remake of The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Arnie Hammer as the Lone Ranger, and it was a farcical, over-the-top, anti-white movie where you basically saw the Lone Ranger through the lens of Tonto, the Indian sidekick, and every other joke was about
Well, you know the great joke.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are in the midst of a pretty nasty shootout, and the Lone Ranger
turns to Tonto and says, we're surrounded by Indians. Looks like this is it. Looks like we're
going to have to surrender, fight to the death, things looking bad. And Tonto turns to Lone
Ranger and says, what do you mean, we kimosabe?
Damn.
Bye.
Anyway...
We have another virus jailbreak update.
And now this is an inmate known to the name of Rocky Music.
That appears to be his legal name.
And the newspaper accounts referred to him as Mr. Music.
Well, last Sunday, he was booked into jail for stealing a car, but he was set free 12 hours later.
This is in Alameda County.
That's in the San Francisco Bay Area.
12 hours later, due to the COVID-19 court mandated zero bail schedule, according to the sheriff's office.
Out he goes.
Well, Guess how long it took him to steal another car?
No fewer than 37 minutes.
37 minutes. I was gonna go for two hours, but hey, okay No, he's back in action 37 minutes. He hijacks a car. He
drove it to a gas station in San Ramon and abandoned it
Now, the press accounts don't say why.
Maybe it ran out of gas.
Maybe it didn't have leather seats.
In any case, he dumped that car and he was about to snatch another one, but the cops got him.
Well, Mr. Music fled on foot.
Police officers caught him with the help of a canine unit, so he was treated for canine injuries and booked right back into the Santa Rita Jail.
But, as Alameda County Sheriff Ray Kelly explains, and I quote, Individuals can continue to commit crimes and be released on a daily basis.
He could steal a car every day, and he would just cycle through.
Isn't that reassuring for all the car owners out there?
This guy knows.
There are just no consequences.
It's a revolving door.
And from his photo, he appears to be from south of the border, does Mr. Rocky music, and thus he is an invaluable addition to the diversity that makes America great.
Well, juxtapose that story with all the videos we're seeing of white mothers being arrested by police for daring to violate the stay-at-home orders in places like Idaho.
Have you seen some of these videos?
Yes, and I understand there is a judge, I forget what state she was in, but she issued orders to the police to fine people, to arrest and fine people $1,000 for showing up without a mask.
And the police said, nope, nope, we're just not going to do that.
Forget it.
It was a Hispanic judge.
I forget where that was.
Gosh, maybe, maybe next week we will correct the record here and explain more about that.
But that was an astonishing story.
Anarcho-tyranny, good old Sam Francis rides again.
Well, but speaking of south of the border from whence much of our delightful diversity comes, as Latinos, according to NBC News, as Latinos throughout the U.S.
grapple with job losses and lockdowns, many are no longer able to, guess what, provide for relatives back home.
The sudden end in remittances sent to Latin America each year is affecting the well-being of families and crippling the economies of developing countries.
Yet another thing for us to feel bad about, huh?
Now, and after all, those who are undocumented, which is a euphemistic term, cannot apply for unemployment insurance or get any of that federal bailout money.
But if they're in California, if they're in Chicago, the fact of being illegal makes no difference.
They can stick their snouts in the public trough and scarf up just as much as anybody else.
But no, it does break my heart.
It does break my heart to think these poor people are no longer able to send money back.
Now, that just goes to show you they had money to spare.
These people are sending money back to the fatherland.
The flow of money in 2018 to Latin America and the Caribbean Was $88 billion.
$88 billion.
And mostly that came from the United States.
$88 billion.
That's money gone.
Gone from our economy because we've got people here who don't care about us.
We are just a milk cow to them.
And they milk us and they milk us.
And they send whatever they can make back to the people who really care to them.
And a lot of them, once they have made all the money they think is necessary to set themselves up In comfort and ease, back in Guatemala, wherever it is, they go back.
Now, Mexico receives, gets the most remittances of any in the region with $36 billion in 2018.
$36 billion.
Wow!
Yes, $36 billion.
And again, that's just money that leaves our economy.
That's not something that people, those people don't spend it at the local grocery store.
They don't buy products produced by them.
They just send it smack out the country and there it goes.
Real quick, you know what's crazy about that number you just said?
In 2017, the numbers that I last saw, it was $30 billion to Mexico.
So in one year's time, it went up 20%.
That's insane!
Well, apparently 2018 was a great year.
According to the article that I read in NBC, the U.S.
economy was really booming, and the better we boom, The more money leaves the country to these poor deserving third-worlders who have sent their finest sons to our country to help us celebrate diversity.
Now, I think that this is a good sort of article for people to be publishing because, you know, people got their own troubles.
Everybody is trying to make their own make ends meet.
People are trying to figure out how they can make it through the month.
Are they going to be able to pay rent?
Are they going to be able to buy groceries?
And NBC is reminding us, no, no, no, you've got other things to worry about.
All of those people in the third world who are not getting their monthly handout thanks to the U.S.
economy.
I think this is a great article to remind people what the priorities of our media and our rulers are.
But, here's yet another story about priorities, and it has to do with fighting stereotypes, which, as we know, is one of the great and important moral projects of the 20th and the 21st centuries.
It has to do with a television station, Raleigh, North Carolina.
It's the main news station there, W-R-A-L.
W. Raleigh, in other words.
Now, it used to publish a photo gallery of people who were arrested in the Raleigh area on wral.com.
It's going to stop doing that.
Don't know more photos and I'm not going to even let you guess why, but instead it's going to offer maps that plot the arrests.
In the area, in the viewing area.
Now, the photos you see, the reason they're no good is that they're generated by automated data feeds supplied by county jail, but there's no follow-up.
You see, hundreds of people arrested each week.
Are they convicted?
Are they acquitted?
Was it a false arrest?
Because, you see, just publishing their photographs after they were arrested could undermine the presumption of innocence, but There's something more important, and I'm sure it's the idea that sprang to you immediately.
Many observers have begun to question the value of these photos and their potential for either reinforcing or creating stereotypes.
Well, I know this story very well because I have a feeling that you pulled it off something that I did over at Ons.com on that same subject.
You know that also the Scripps-Howard syndicate is also implementing the same rule.
And I think it was the Houston Chronicle?
That's correct, Houston Chronicle.
No more munch-munch.
Yeah, and it's all based on the same thing.
They don't want to allow pattern recognition to become A driver of social policy.
Now, you see, it's interesting to me.
They're going to have crime maps instead, but don't they suffer from the same defect?
If there's an arrest in a certain neighborhood, don't we have to worry whether or not this arrest led to a conviction?
Does this arrest really mean a crime?
Why is a map any better than photographs?
I think you might as well have both.
But they want us to have less information rather than more when the information that they're providing is not of the kind that they think will make us better and more subservient good little white people.
That's the way I see it.
Well, and going back to what you just said regarding the maps they're going to put out, you can easily go online and you can cross-reference that map with a zip code.
And there are so many websites out there.
You type in the zip code, you can quickly find every piece of data that can easily, you can easily surmise the racial demographics.
Oh, but you know, they are visiting Danish tourists who are committing those crimes.
Well, more than likely, yes, of course.
Oh, but you know, I did notice that on the WRAL website that announced this change in policy, there was no comment section.
I just couldn't figure out why.
But now you had one of those intriguing stories from Britain, did you not?
About a certain insensitivity?
The Wuhan plague?
The Wuhan Plague in Britain, did I?
Let's see here.
It was from Atlanta, actually.
Oh, I beg your pardon.
Yes, in Atlanta.
Yes, you're quite right.
It's my mistake.
The Wuhan Plague in Atlanta.
I beg your pardon.
Yeah, this is a story that I just happened to catch.
And if you didn't read it, it's actually somewhat I would say this is actually pretty shocking because what's going on in Atlanta is there are these plaques being put up, the Wuhan plaque placed on Atlanta businesses and streets.
And this article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, it quotes a hodgepodge coffee house owner, Crystal Rodriguez, who got a text about one of the signs from her employee.
This round plaque, and it depicts Weenie the Pooh eating a bat with chopsticks And below this image are the words, Wuhan Plague.
Now the signs, oh go ahead.
Oh, I just want to repeat that's Winnie the Pooh using chopsticks and eating a bat.
Yes, yes.
We'll hand it to him for imagination, but anyway.
It's very imaginative.
Yes.
Yeah, exactly.
So the sign has been popping up all around East Atlanta on a variety of buildings and fixtures.
This was the part that was unsettling.
The Atlanta Police Department's Homeland Security Unit, which investigates bias-motivated crimes, has been notified about the signs, but as the AJC article notes, so far no arrests have been made.
Arrest?
Well, here's what Miss Rodriguez said.
This is one of those great quotes, like last week when the people in Pentacola were partying and they said they couldn't see the virus, so they didn't believe it could be happening.
People love that part of the podcast last week, by the way.
Miss Rodriguez says this, quote, it's doing nothing but reinforcing really awful stereotypes.
I have Asian American friends that said it's allergy season and they're afraid to sneeze in public because of all of the hate speech.
Well, I guess you're going to have to sneeze in private.
Well, you know, Britain can see your Atlanta story and raise you.
In Sheffield, there were stickers put up that read, and I quote in toto and verbatim what was on the stickers, Open border virus disorder.
A kind of little doggerel.
And then... I like it.
Yes.
And then there was another sticker that said, pubs closed, because you can't get a drink at a pub now.
Pubs closed, borders open.
Well, you'll be delighted to know and relieved to know that two men, ages 20 and 22, were arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offenses.
Yes, they were arrested and held on racially aggravated public order defenses.
Let me repeat these little stickers again.
Open border virus disorder.
Pubs closed, borders opened.
Now, this to me is really quite astonishing.
A Sheffield local counselor by the name of Ben Miskell He pronounced this absolutely disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting.
Now let's... I mean, at least we have the First Amendment.
And I'm surprised that the police... Well, I'm not surprised.
The police are looking for those guys in Atlanta.
But I don't... They're just not going to have a case.
They can't possibly have a case.
But we'll see.
Maybe they'll come up with something.
After all, it's a state of emergency.
You can arrest people for walking around without a mask on.
Maybe you can arrest people for anything now.
What do you think?
Well, I can tell you, going back to Atlanta real quick, something called Advancing Justice Atlanta, it's a non-profit dedicating to protecting the civil rights of Asian American communities in Georgia and the Southeast.
And, you know, Atlanta, and Georgia in particular, has been an area where there's been massive refugee resettlement of Vietnamese, and there are all sorts of big Korean communities.
China, actually, I want to say that Georgia is number six or seven in the state that gets the most Money invested from China, from the actual nation of China, from the Chinese government.
You know, I don't know if you've seen this, but the Chinese government is investing billions of dollars in California, Texas, Virginia, and I think Georgia is about the fifth or sixth, seventh beneficiary of that largesse.
But this organization put out this quote.
They said that it's, quote, hateful and dangerous rhetoric that has consequences.
Chinese Americans and those perceived to be are now victims of violence.
These plaques are the latest incident to harass the Asian American community and it is important we all condemn it.
Hate has no place here.
End quote.
Hate, hate, hate.
Well, no freedom of speech has no place there either, Ron.
Well, you're already equating a plaque, Mr. Taylor and dear listener, as being violent.
It's just a plaque of Weenie the Pooh eating a bat with chopsticks.
Well, but it did say... That's all it is!
But it did say Wuhan plague, so it left no ambiguity.
That was hateful.
That was hateful.
If it had just been Weenie the Pooh eating a bat with chopsticks, you know, then that might have been creative and artistic.
But I have another British story for you here.
The Guardian.
Good old lefty Guardian.
You can always count on it to say something, and if you take the opposite position, you know you're right.
But they have done their own study on ethnic minorities in England, and they have confirmed That minorities, and they call them BAME there.
B-A-M-E.
That stands for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic People.
BAME people.
They've got their own word for it.
The Canadians talk about visible minorities as opposed to invisible minorities, whatever they are.
But BAME are dying in high, disproportionately high numbers.
And this has quote, confirmed the worst fears of campaigners.
They were really upset that this might be the case.
And now that's happened, they're just downcast.
Well, now one expert on public and ethnic health said that social deprivation, in other words,
racism was the strongest indicator for mortality due to increased underlying burden of disease.
Now, the person they quoted is a professor of diabetes and endocrinology
University Hospital Birmingham named Wasim Hanif.
Well, he ought to know.
And then the other person they quoted, the other expert they quoted, is the deputy director of the Runnymede Trust.
This person is named Dr. Zubaida Haq.
H-A-Q-U-E.
So, they really, they really, it seems to me, they really hunted hard for people who are absolutely bound to know what's going on here in the country.
And Dr. Zubaida, that's a lady's name, she said the government had to recognize that race and racial inequalities are a risk factor and that it should be addressed.
The government should address disproportionate rates of poverty.
Insecure and low-paid labor, poor housing conditions and overcrowding, all of which are putting ethnic minorities to risk for COVID-19.
Well, what the heck?
She's saying, here, here, they're in the middle of this terrible mess and they got to get right to work.
On making sure that they live in better housing, that they don't no longer have disproportionate rates of poverty.
All of this has got to be corrected right away, right away, because there's a disproportionate amount of death.
Now, I saved these statistics, the data, which I think are important, to the end.
Just how disproportionate are these BAME cases, these BAME deaths?
Well, it turns out Of the 12,600 people who died in hospital up to April 19th, 19% were black.
But BAME people made up only 15% of the general population.
So it's 19% as opposed to 15% and already Dr. Zubaida Haque is explaining to the government that it better get right to work and correct housing differentials, make sure that they don't live in overcrowded housing, and make sure that they get steady jobs and no longer live in poverty, just to solve that disproportion of 19% as opposed to 15%.
Now, I'm glad that Zubaida is looking out for her people, but I think this is a little bit of an overreaction.
Now, you had a story from the Czech Republic about illegal drug factories that had a real surprise in it for me.
But regale us with that story, if you would.
Yeah, the title and the reason I did this is because it juxtaposes with another story about drugs that primarily come from China and are funneled into America through Mexico from cartels.
The Czech Republic is reporting or we're finding out that closed borders are making life hard for illegal drug producers.
So the producers of illegal drugs in the Czech Republic are suffering due to border closures that are enacted due to the coronavirus.
This is according to the head of the National Anti-Drug Central.
They're in the Czech Republic.
Illicit drug manufacturers don't have access to ingredients for methamphetamines, and there is a lack of heroin in the Prague.
On the other hand, marijuana supplies could exceed demand because, of course, marijuana... I guess, is marijuana basically legal in all the EU at this point?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
It's been legal in the Netherlands for quite some time, but I don't think it's legal in the Czech Republic.
I don't understand that.
Maybe they're all growing their own.
Perhaps.
I would think that if they're running out of other stuff, there'd be more demand for marijuana too.
For the people who can't get the hard stuff, they can at least kind of satisfy their craving with marijuana, but who knows?
Yeah, so basically what they're asking to do is they're asking to find and smuggle substances containing the necessary ingredients for the methamphetamine production from Poland.
So the closed borders have made it very difficult to procure any of the main ingredients at this point.
However, the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic, which is the dominant producer of illegal drugs in the Czech Republic, And this is the quote from the gentleman who's in charge of the National Anti-Drug Central Force there.
And this is the quote from the gentleman who's in charge of the National Anti-Drug Central
Force there.
He said this, Of course the criminal section of the Vietnamese community
has a lot of existential and operational concerns.
The cases we cooperate on with our colleagues abroad show that closed borders are a complication
for Vietnamese drug dealers.
Customers from abroad don't come to them, and it is also more complicated to smuggle
something abroad.
They are in something like Prishingen area state.
Tell me.
How on earth did the Czech Republic end up with a Vietnamese criminal drug community?
That's the aspect of the story that just left me drop-jawed.
Where'd they even come from?
What are they even doing there?
Why?
And they are the kingpins of illegal drugs in Czechoslovakia?
Boy, oh boy, it just goes to show you, even those of us who try to pay attention to what's going on in the world, there are things that escape our notice.
But this coronavirus is bringing all kinds of things to light that we did not know about before.
Again, like you said, who would have thought that the Czech Republic had this vibrant Vietnamese community, this criminal drug community that is able to still supply and manufacture, I guess, their own drugs and get these... I guess they have such significant streams of contraband that they're not that affected as the other producers and manufacturers are.
Yeah, they're the big dogs on the block in terms of illegal drug manufacturing compared to checks.
Well, golly, I think there should be some way that they could be encouraged to go home.
But moving on to your friend and mine, Al Sharpton.
Al Sharpton, it's come to his attention that Harvard has a $41 billion endowment.
And Al Sharpton has sent a letter to the president of Harvard, Lawrence Bacow.
He goes straight to the top, you see.
He's not going to mess around with anybody else.
He's going to go straight to the top, and he wants to know whether there are any blacks managing those billions.
He wrote that if Harvard does not have a diverse asset management team, that would be a failure of Harvard's, quote, fiduciary responsibility.
Now, just how that is a failure of fiduciary responsibility beats me, but I guess Al likes to use big words.
And as it turns out, Patrick S. McKiernan, who is a spokesman for the Harvard Management Company that manages these billions, he snapped right to attention.
And he explained what goes on.
He says, we seek diversity and inclusion amongst our team, including those who make decisions to allocate capital.
He says, we're proud of the diversity of our team, but then he went on to say, having an external manager, because they want to know about whether or not Harvard hires external managers to stir the billions there.
He says, having an external manager, no matter how diverse, If it were investing with non-diverse companies, that's not of particular interest.
So let's think about that.
They could have an all Zulu outside investment team, but if they weren't investing in diverse companies, then they'd have to fire the Zulus.
So, but Sharpton then went on to cite the University of California's recent report on its school systems effort to promote hiring diverse management team and Al went on to say, this report does not mitigate the harm and moral stain of past transgressions.
Don't think you're getting off the hook, but it does show that the University of California is receptive to the idea of integrating people of color.
Boy, oh boy.
You know, Rev Sharpton, it's astonishing to me.
He's going to decide when past transgressions and moral stains have and have not been mitigated.
But I'm curious to know, how do you possibly mitigate harm and moral stain of the past?
It seems to me the best you can do is be fair to people in the present.
But I guess we will always be guilty to the end of time until Brother Al says, peace be with you.
In any case, Harvard's on notice.
Apparently it already has a very diverse team, but Al Sharpton's going to ensure that it stays diverse.
And speaking of diversity, Heather MacDonald wrote a great article in the April 17th Wall Street Journal.
I'm really a big fan of Heather MacDonald, and I know you are too.
She's the Manhattan Institute.
I consider her, as I've said many times, a real national treasure.
But she wrote, it was all this baloney about diversity, and she pointed out that scientists at Oxford University and King's College in London They are really doing cutting-edge work to develop an inexpensive ventilator that can be quickly built with off-the-shelf components, but, uh-oh, everybody on the project team is a man.
Oh, are they a white man?
I suspect they're white.
And she goes on to say that this absolute obsession, she gives a great example of this obsession for diversity at UC Berkeley.
The Life Sciences Department rejected 76% of the applicants it received last year for faculty positions because those 76 lacked sufficiently effusive diversity, equity, and inclusion statements.
Because you know, to apply for a job teaching biology or physical chemistry, you've got to explain just how excited you are about diversity.
And, as Heather McDonald explains, Those 76 people that were rejected because they weren't sufficiently over the top on the subject of diversity, they were dumped without the hiring committee even looking at their research record.
So, you get an applicant for a position.
The first thing you look at is, is this guy one of our diversity fanatics?
If he's not, Forget a fiduciary responsibility.
They have a racially moral woke responsibility, I guess.
And she pointed out that this diversity culling at birth continued through the process, resulting in a 75% drop in
white applicants.
Whereas the proportion of Hispanics rose by 450% and the proportion of blacks rose by 325%.
I mean, that's strictly...
That's not on scientific qualification.
That's not on anything other than, are they sufficiently enthusiastic about diversity?
Now, as I've always wondered, it seems to me automatically, if you are already diverse, you don't have to say much.
You say, just by being there, I'm going to promote diversity.
Well, where do you need to know?
But what's a white guy supposed to say?
You know, I really shouldn't even be applying because I won't add diversity.
But boy, will I really think diverse thoughts the whole time I'm there.
No, what a white guy should say, Mr. Taylor.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
They should say, a person of color should have my spot.
So I voluntarily withdraw my name for consideration.
Exactly.
They shouldn't even be applying in the first place.
And after all, you know, 76% of them are going to be just flung out the door anyway because they're not sufficiently enthusiastic.
Now, Heather McDonald quotes Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health.
He announced in June that he would no longer participate in scientific conferences that showed insufficient attention to inclusiveness.
He's just not going to take part.
And especially, he asked his colleagues to boycott predominantly male scientific panels because he refers to them as manels.
Manels.
We're not going to be part of manels.
Now, it doesn't make any difference if the most cutting-edge research happens to be done by men.
Too bad.
Well, as you will recall, CNN has been blasting President Trump's coronavirus task force of being too white and too male.
So, I ask you this.
By Mr. Collins' own logic, if he had been invited to take part in this prestigious task force, do you think he would have said, nah, too white, too male.
If you fire Anthony Fauci and replace him with a Native American epidemiologist, well then maybe I'll come on board.
You think that's how he'd reply?
This stuff is just incredible.
But anyway, thank goodness for Heather McDonald getting something like this published in the Wall Street Journal.
You or I could write that, but the Wall Street Journal, I'm afraid, would not publish it.
No, they would not.
They wouldn't even consider it.
They wouldn't even open the email.
No, afraid not, no.
But, you know, now in this time of essential occupations and inessential occupations, you'll be glad to know that The University of Minnesota Medical School is advertising for a very essential post.
That's Vice Dean for Diversity.
Now the University of Minnesota Medical School, as I'm quoting their ad, seeks a transformational leader And motivated changemaker to assume the inaugural position of Vice Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
And this person is going to work in collaboration with community partners, health system leadership to promote and advance innovative ideas, programs, and initiatives making diversity, equity, inclusion a foundation of institutional excellence.
Oh, the future is so bright.
Sorry, I get interjected.
This is one of the craziest stories we've ever talked about.
Oh, I don't know.
I think, you know, we've talked about equally crazy stories.
I do like the fact that diversity, equity, and inclusion, you know, it's referred to sometimes by its initials, D.I.E.
It's diversity to die for, in any case.
Whitey die.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, the salary is, and I'm going to put you on the spot, guess what?
Depending on qualifications, the salary could be up to how much?
$425,000.
Ah, you overshot by $25,000.
You can make up to $400,000 in the inaugural position of Vice Dean for Diversity.
So, all our listeners out there, you may have a chance.
You may have a chance.
A job that pays up to $400,000 if you are qualified.
Well, I'm hoping that Dr. Kismika Corbett, the lady we talked about earlier, who said that the coronavirus could potentially, you know, You're right, you're right.
side of blacks or Ebony, what's the other girl's name?
Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton, who said that opening the economy shouldn't be done and she compared it to slavery
and systemic racism as the reason why so many non-whites are dying of coronavirus.
I think those would be two tremendous applicants.
You're right.
For this inaugural position.
You're right, they'd be very promising candidates.
And Kizzy, I suspect she's not making $400,000 at NIH, but who knows?
You know, her salary could be boosted by some one of these diversity foundations.
We don't know.
I would be curious, because after all, she was planning some pretty fancy vacation that she had to put on hold on account of this wicked virus.
It could be a plot to eliminate her anyway.
But France.
France, there's a hot time in France these days.
At least 25 cities and departments erupted into rioting just on Monday night. 25!
Including attacks on police and attempts to burn down a police station in the city of Strasbourg.
And the city of, I'm sorry, the Department of Yvelines has had nearly daily attacks on police for the last two weeks.
And just the other day, officers were attacked by a group of 20 armed men who threw things at them, set off fireworks, and in the district of Maino, locals attempted to burn down the building housing a local police station while throwing Molotov cocktails.
I saw a video of that.
And they were sho- And this is the only clue in all of the reporting I saw as to the hue of these rampaging youth.
They were shouting, Allahu Akbar!
I mean, I would never have guessed otherwise, of course.
Catholics, huh?
Then it dawned on me.
Now, as all around the world, the impact of the strict national lockdown has had a bad, it's cramped the style of the traffickers.
So, the natives are getting a little bit restless because they can't get their drugs.
There have been clashes between drug dealing gangs earlier in the southern town of Montpellier when two groups armed with machetes Started hacking at each other.
So far as I know, and this is despite the lockdown, you know, but I guess they're keeping social distance, keeping machetes length away, but they decided to have at it mano a mano.
During one of the incidents in Bordeaux, when officers were investigating some rioting going on, some people on a balcony up above pitched a refrigerator at them.
Fortunately, it missed.
But what particularly intrigued me was an expression from Julian Le Cam of the police union known as Alliance.
And he said, schools are closed, the good weather returns, and in addition, many people who were in prison have been released in recent days because of COVID-19.
So they're having a great time.
They're having a great time in France.
Never dull moment.
A burning car on every block thanks to immigration and COVID.
But drug cartels too are in an over-excited state because of the virus.
Are they not?
Yeah, this is actually a good news story, and this is a story that if we actually had a forward-thinking government, we would be really considering new policies to actually have an effective war on drugs, because guess what?
The coronavirus has been a great war on drugs, at least the ability to get them to this country, the global drug trade.
Turns out that closing the borders and a severing of supply chains in China Traffickers, primarily Mexican traffickers, who rely on these chemicals to make their profitable drugs such as methamphetamines and fentanyl, it's all been cut off.
It's all been stopped.
And one of the main suppliers that shut down isn't, believe it or not, Wuhan, which is the epicenter of this global outbreak, whether or not you want to believe it's because of these wet markets or it's some sort of weaponized biological weapon, as some people are silly or, you know, I think foolishly asserting.
You know, the Associated Press is reporting nearly two dozen law enforcement officials and trafficking experts have found that the Mexican and Colombian cartels are trying to still ply their trade, which is evident by recent drug seizures, but the lockdowns have turned cities into ghost towns and disrupting everything from production to transport to sales.
Wow.
Well, so it can be done.
It can be done.
But, you know, that's going to make a lot of drug users mighty unhappy.
They can't get their fix.
Maybe that will result in some cold turkey cures.
Who knows?
Well, you know, we don't have much time left, but I did want to touch on Africa.
Africa is one of those strange situations.
There are very, very few reported cases, and there are two African countries that have no reported cases at all.
They're pretty small.
One is Lesotho, which is a very small South African, in Southern Africa, and then the Comoro Islands.
But the number of deaths, the number of deaths in all of Africa reported is about 1,200.
In the U.S., by comparison, it's 50,000.
And you really wonder what's going on here.
One thing that is proposed is that the population of Africa is very young.
98% of the population is under the age of 65, so those people tend to be less vulnerable.
But as the WHO has been warning, W-H-O, It's likely the real numbers are much higher because there is very little testing going on.
Now there was a lot more I had to say about that, but we're running out of time.
I suppose I should just point out one thing, that Lesotho, which has no cases at all, He has imposed a three-week lockdown anyway, but he is embattled and in trouble because the police suspect him of having a hand in the murder of his estranged wife in 2017.
But now he's got the police arrested, and there's troops in the street to make sure the lockdown stays, and also to make sure that the police who think he's a murderer are kept under control.
So that's part of the excitement in South Africa.
I mean, I'm sorry.
That is part of the excitement in Lesotho, which doesn't have a single case.
But in any case, we are running out of time, Mr. Kersey.
And so, I urge all of our listeners, if they can, to reach out to us one way or another.
They can come to www.amran.com and reach us at the Contact Us tab or You can send me an email at BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, that email, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
We invite your questions.
We invite stories you want to send us to talk about.
But more importantly, we wish you and your families health during this entire crisis.
We will get through it together, and we're glad that you gave us an hour of your time.
So for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
We'll talk to you next week.
