Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me, of course, is Paul Kersey, without whom nothing would ever get off the ground around here.
Well, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are listening to us on this beautiful May 6th.
We've missed out on Cinco de Mayo, Mr. Taylor.
I never miss out on Cinco de Mayo.
Neither do I, actually.
But hey, we want to start off real quick and just encourage you all how important it is during this time of social distancing to make sure you can stay in touch with us.
Let's get this out of the way real quick because this is the only way we can beat the so-called tech totalitarians.
We all know how bad things are in terms of They're desiring to silence us.
So, shoot me an email at BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Or you can come to the AmRen.com website, click on the Contact Us tab, and send us your email message.
Send us your email address, I mean to say, as well as any comments or questions you may have.
As some of you know, one of our episodes was snatched by the fairies not too long ago and this could happen anytime.
The whole channel could be snatched by the fairies and we would have to have some way to get in touch with you.
Those of you who have subscribed and those of you who have not, we really need a way to get in touch with you.
So, we'd love to hear from you.
And also, because we often get jammed up at the end of the podcast and don't get around to listener comments and questions, I'd like to start again with a comment from a listener.
This listener has been annoyed by the extent to which anyone who talks about the coronavirus or the Wuhan flu or even some of the more jocular expressions such as the Kung flu is being considered a horrible racist.
And what he points out, of course, is that there are many viruses or diseases that have an origin such as the Spanish flu that devastated practically the whole world.
100 years ago, and also he points out that people have no hesitation whatsoever in arguing for the fact that white people brought spallbox, influenza, other things to the new world that the Indians had never suffered from.
This led to a large number of deaths.
Now, our listener says that the number of deaths has been vastly exaggerated.
We are not in a position to offer any expert commentary on that, but his point is very well taken.
When it comes to white people infecting others, well then, gosh, no one ever says it's racist to point out that it was the Columbus flu or the Western Europe virus.
No, no, that's perfectly okay.
But talk about the China virus, Wuhan flu.
No, no, that's a terrible, horrible, In position, yes.
Well, there's a whole cottage industry and wing of academia dedicated to demonizing white people for all the problems of not just the past, but the present and... Oh, the future.
Invariably the future.
Yes, yes.
So, whatever happens, you know, that's always the case.
Whatever, ever, anything unpleasant has happened to non-white people anywhere in the world at any time in history, you can be sure it's our fault.
Our fault.
Now, let's get going with Joe Biden.
Joe Biden in his basement, where he is suffering through confinement, he has launched a committee to begin the vetting process for possible candidates for vice president.
Now, as we know, at the last debate, he promised to name a woman.
So, of course, he has picked a characteristic that has absolutely nothing to do with competence.
Just on the basis of sex, he's going to eliminate half the candidates.
More than half the candidates, in fact.
And now, of course, the pressure's on to tell him, no, that's not crazy enough.
You need yet another characteristic.
Yet another characteristic that has absolutely nothing to do with competence.
Namely, you need to choose a black woman.
Not just a woman.
A black woman.
Well, And he's thinking about naming his running mate well in advance of the August Democratic Convention.
This would be a little unusual to have your running mate all lined up well before the convention.
Often a lot of horse trading goes into that right around that time to decide who's going to be the running mate.
But this time he wants to be a ticket well before things hot up.
In fact, there was some discussion that even before he won the nomination, he hasn't officially won it yet, but even before he actually got into the race for the nomination, that he would name his running mate.
In any case, he did not do that.
But of course, the pressure is on, as I say, for him not only to pick a woman, but a black woman.
Now, as he likes to say, he's looking for someone who, and I quote, is simpatico With where I want to take the country.
Simpatico.
I guess that means someone, some woman with hair that he likes to smell.
Maybe that's part of it.
Somebody whose hair smells good.
Or maybe whose neck feels good under his fingers.
But that's part of his simpatico plan.
And he says he can easily name 12 to 15 women who meet these criteria.
Do they meet the melanin enhanced criteria?
I can borrow a term from you.
That we don't know.
That we don't know.
But black leaders and voters say that he must pick a black woman.
They say that his success, and that of the Democratic Party as a whole, depends on black people turning out to vote in November.
And they want a tangible return, not just a thank you note.
Mr. Biden says he's also considering several Beckys including Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and this Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The only thing I know about her really is how fierce she's been in keeping things locked down.
You just used a term and I want to make sure that you clarify that term because some of our listeners who are overseas across the The Diaspora.
They might not know what that term you just used to describe those three white women meant.
Yes, a Becky.
That is the contemporary person of color insulting slang for a white woman.
She's a Becky.
Sometimes they're known as Karens, but Becky is the more common one.
And as Jim Clyburn, House Minority Whip, Heavily melanin enhanced.
As he explains, I'm the father of three grown African-American women.
So naturally, I prefer an African-American woman.
Well, that's all it takes.
Qualifications?
Who cares?
He wants an African-American woman because that's what he is.
And there is a Washington Post article that quotes a certain Kenneth Walden, a 26-year-old black man.
He says, if the nominee is not a black woman, I believe it would be a repeat of 2016 where we had an all-white ticket and everybody was just not energized.
Black people are going to feel betrayed.
We're not just voting based off party lines anymore.
Well, that's a pretty clear statement.
It's not the party, it's the race.
So he better get in line and find a black woman.
Now, the New York Times had an op-ed piece just the other day.
The title of this piece was, It's Obvious Whom Joe Biden Should Pick as Vice President.
And do you know who the obvious candidate was?
I think you probably do.
I think it's Michelle Obama.
I've been saying that for a while.
The New York Times said it was going to be Stacey Abrams.
Okay.
Now, Michelle Obama claims at this point to have no interest in the job at all.
She's making too much money right now.
She's making far too much money.
Oh, I think she could continue to make plenty of money, you know.
Those royalties will still roll in.
That's true.
Still rolling, but she won't have these fantastic speaking engagements.
But anyway, according to the New York Times, the obvious pick, the obvious pick is Stacey Abrams.
Now, this is quite a long article, 1,600-1,800 words.
And there was not one word about her qualifications.
Now wouldn't you think that if you're promoting a woman whose only political experience has been in a Georgia State House, never been in Congress, certainly never been a governor, nothing like that.
She's been a state legislator.
If you're pushing a state legislator, don't you think you'd have something to say about her qualifications?
I guess there's nothing to write about.
She has one very important qualification, that is she is a black woman.
What were her qualifications to be the governor of Georgia, which she only lost by 60,000 votes.
Yep.
It was very close.
50 to 49.
That's right.
She was a black woman.
That's all it takes these days.
Now, Uncle Joe apparently is really whooping up his game for the Hispanic male.
Had you read about this?
Newsweek had quite a long article about this.
He's going to spend $55 million wooing Hispanic men.
And as Isabel Aldunate, who is his Hispanic media press secretary, did you know he had a Hispanic media press secretary?
I did not know.
But you're not surprised.
She says, we're competing for every vote in the community.
Men and women are in the process of building out and scaling up our efforts to do so.
The reason they're panicked is that a recent poll from a Democratic firm called Latino Decisions They found that Mr. Biden's support with Latino men was 50% compared with 34% for Trump.
And they think that's disgraceful because this falls short of the 65% that Barack Obama got in 2012 and the 63% Hillary Clinton got in 2016.
So, if Biden is getting only 50%, he really needs to step up his game.
And some Democrats, including members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, have privately complained that his Latino outreach has been insufficient.
We need MAS outreach.
MAS MAS!
Now, this was to me one of the surprising things about this article, this Newsweek article.
And I will read to you a line verbatim.
Analysis of Hispanic voters and outreach from Democratic groups has often targeted Latinas because they vote at higher rates and run the household.
Oh!
Isn't that a bit of a stereotype?
It's a generalization.
That is a vast stereotype.
Yeah.
But there is now growing acknowledgment that the hopes and fears of Hispanic men must be considered as well.
Good market research.
I was amazed.
Hispanic men vote too.
What do you know?
What do you know?
Do left-handed Hispanic men vote too?
I wonder.
Yeah, you really do wonder.
Now, there's a group called Todos con Biden.
Everyone with Biden is one of his special groups that's going to be out there wooing Hispanic men, making sure they march down to that polling station, because the 2020 election will mark the first time that Hispanics are the largest racial or ethnic minority group in the country.
There'll be more Hispanic voters than black voters.
So yes, Joe has got to be careful to get as many of them as he possibly can.
So good luck, Joe.
Now, you know, it's hard for me to imagine why any Hispanic man would get excited about Joe Biden.
It's hard for me to imagine any man really excited about Joe Biden, this sort of sleepy, goofy guy.
But they're going to have their work cut out for them.
They're going to have to spend those $55 million very carefully to build a fire under Hispanic men to get them to vote for this wimp.
I think one of the best things for Biden thus far has been this coronavirus shutdown, because he's not out there campaigning.
He's not out there making mistakes on film.
A fool of himself.
Exactly.
This has allowed him to sequester in his basement.
As people have noted, he's doing these weird podcasts and videos where he fumbles over words saying Trump had intercourse with Europe or something in this really hilarious video where it's just this incredible gaffe.
And these aren't even live streamed, are they?
That was actually, I believe, a live stream.
That was a live stream.
Of course, you could mention the disastrous appearance on MSNBC, the morning show where he was asked about Some of these allegations, no need to go into that, but the point is this has actually been a bad thing for Trump because Trump is at his best, Mr. Taylor, when he's interacting with his base and he's being forced.
It's basically a poll where he has the opportunity to say some words and depending on the reaction of the crowd, that has the potential to be one of his new talking points and policies.
We'll see.
In any case, I do wish to bring our listeners' attention to another great article.
By a woman whom I invariably refer to as a national treasure, Heather McDonnell of the Manhattan Institute.
And you dug up this article, and I think it's great, and I urge you to read a few sentences verbatim and in toto for our listening audience.
This was published on Cinco de Mayo at the City Journal website under the title, Should Identity Politics Dictate Vaccine Research?
Even amid a pandemic, federal science agencies continue to fund Anti-scientific diversity initiatives.
So, I shall read from Heather MacDonald's prose.
Quote, on April 20th, National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control announced the grants to increase the diversity of biomedical research labs.
Academic virologists working on respiratory failure say could receive hundreds of thousands more taxpayer dollars if they could find a diverse student to add to the project.
No scientific justification for the new diversity hire is needed.
High school students are eligible, despite the virtual certainty that they will contribute nothing of value.
To the contrary, such new hires will be a drag on any medical advance since the scientists must pledge to mentor the students.
Let me stop you right there.
Hiring a non-white High school student.
They're going to get extra money for doing this.
And as Heather McDonough points out, this will add nothing.
There's not one high school student in the world who's going to add the slightest benefit.
Certainly not one who is picked because of a melanin enhancement.
And as she points out, this is just going to be a complete drag on real research because somebody's got to spend the time to nursemaid and babysit these people.
Are you implying that some of these diverse students might not spontaneously come up with a cure?
Around all this instrumentation and laboratory biosmosis?
I'm not implying it.
I'm stating it.
Well, I'm going to state the rest.
And I'll tell you, a white high school student, an Asian, I don't care.
There's no high school student that is going to contribute to this cutting-edge research.
None.
Not one.
Probably not that many college students working on their undergraduate degree.
That's right.
Of any race.
Exactly.
But a high school student... Anyway.
Oh, please continue.
Let me continue.
To quote Heather McDonald's piece, and I quote, the CDC, NIH, and the National Science Foundation have been color and sex-coding their research grants for years on the grounds that scientific innovation, in the words of the NIH, requires scientists from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, but the newly announced research supplements to promote diversity in health-related research boost those agencies' social agenda.
Besides the usual preferences for women, blacks, and Hispanics, the following categories now qualify for diversity funding.
Being or having been homeless.
Being or having been in foster care.
Having been eligible for free school lunches.
Having no parents with a bachelor's degree.
And having received WIC payments, a food program for low-income mothers, as a child or mother.
So you're gonna get special bonuses.
Somebody is gonna pay you tax dollars if you can manage to dig up some homeless person to put on the project or someone who's in foster care.
This sounds like something from The Onion.
It just sounds impossible to me.
And yet, Heather MacDonald has gotten to the bottom of it.
And now, so far as I know, she's the only person who's really publicized this.
No, I haven't read this anywhere else.
I just stumbled upon it because, like you, I love reading anything and everything that she writes.
And you're right.
You say it sounds like The Onion, Pretty much everything that the United States government has done, I would probably argue since 1948, whether it was the Supreme Court, it seems like it's been from the onion.
If you actually peel back the layers, you're like, well, wait a second.
How did this advance the entrance of our posterity as our founding fathers articulated long ago?
Yes, if you can find somebody who is homeless or has been homeless.
But, you know, I hope that if some actual homeless person, someone off the street, actually gets one of these positions that we'll hear about it.
But I suspect we won't.
Somebody will get an extra boost, an extra pat on the head.
Yes, you put a homeless person on this project, but we won't hear about it.
But thank goodness for Heather MacDonald for letting us know that this is in the works.
Now moving on to Boston.
You'll be happy to know that the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has established a $500,000 fund devoted to diversity.
This will do more to engage with and support local communities.
Now, do you know why they announced this?
It's because just last year there was a group of middle school students who toured the museum and they said they were subjected to racist comments.
During the field trip, one museum employee was accused of telling students from the Davis Academy, a group of blacks, no food, no drink, and no watermelon.
Now, after an investigation by the museum, an employee recalled telling his students, no food, no drink, no water bottles.
That's what they were told.
Yes, but what they heard was watermelon and they filed an official complaint.
Also, apparently, it is reported, it is reported that a patron at the museum, this is not museum staff, just somebody who was admiring the works of art, told a female student that she should pay attention so that she would not have to become a stripper.
Oh, this is something that was said.
This is sound advice.
Apparently, the school's principal, Arturo J. Forrest, reported that this student had heard this.
Now, this was in the New York Times, this article about the $500,000 for diversity.
And a commenter, I noticed the comments, most of the commenters were saying, wait, wait, wait, these accusations of racism are pretty doggone thin.
And a commenter said that it was well known that this group was rackety and noisy and making a pest of themselves.
And there were a couple of patrons who found that behavior annoying and said something about it.
Now whether or not it was pay attention or you might end up being a stripper, I don't know.
But this notwithstanding, Matthew Teitelbaum, who was the museum director, said the museum had learned a lot of studying this incident over the past year, and he apologized for the unacceptable experiences that these middle schoolers had had to suffer.
So in addition to this half a million for diversity initiatives to make sure that artists and young people of color are included, he's going to establish a new position of Senior Director of Belonging and Inclusion.
Not diversity and inclusion.
Belonging.
Belonging, yes.
Now, wouldn't you love to have that on your business card?
I am the Senior Director of Belonging.
I have a terrible feeling that that is going to be a new phrase that we see pop up at museums, at symphony orchestras, at any, you know, mandated of private golf courses, country clubs.
That's right.
There's a growth industry there, Mr. Taylor.
You know, I think you're right.
The next at the university position is going to be Dean of Belonging.
Okay.
Well, it started in Boston.
Now, I'd like our listeners to know about Dr. Mohamed Massoud.
He spent two years working as a research coordinator.
He was here on an H-1B visa in Rochester, Minnesota in the Mayo Clinic.
He is a Pakistani licensed doctor.
He reportedly saw himself, now that he's been exposed, as having gotten, quote, behind enemy lines, where not many people can even reach here to attack.
Now, why does he consider it enemy lines?
Well, he was a jihadi from the day he arrived.
From the day he got here on his H1B visa in February 2018, he said he would use this rare access to learn something useful about his enemies so that he could conduct violent jihad.
By January and February 2020, he'd been here two years, the 28-year-old Dr. Masood was messaging on an encrypted platform how sick and tired he'd grown of having to smile every day at the, quote, passing kuffar.
Kuffar is that insulting Muslim word for non-believers.
So he had to pretend to like these people that he was hoping to kill in large numbers.
Well, He was arrested.
He just got himself arrested and then he changed his plan though from attacking the local Kufars, whom he found so repulsive, to joining ISIS in Northeast Iran or Afghanistan or in Syria as a medic.
And we're not quite sure why he changed his mind.
You'd think he was behind enemy lines.
He had this opportunity to kill the Kufar.
He decided to go kill the Kufar elsewhere.
But by the time he was arrested, he'd quit his job at Mayo.
He'd auctioned off his personal belongings.
And he was on his way to Jordan, but he was nabbed by TSA.
Now, this reminds us of the wisdom of President Trump's travel ban, I think.
And also, it's an interesting point.
We must not assume that all jihadis are gas station attendants or high school dropouts or losers of one form or another.
Remember, U.S.
Army Major Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood guy?
Of course.
That guy was a dog.
He was a head shrinker.
I mean, people would come home from these strange places where we insist on killing people, and they would have PTSD, and this guy would treat them.
He was a psychiatrist, right?
He was a psychiatrist, yes.
Now, this also reminds me of the American-educated Afia Sadiki, who is not nearly as well-known as Nidal Hasan, because she didn't succeed in killing Americans, but she sure tried.
She was an MIT trained neuroscientist who earned a PhD from Brandeis University and at one time was called the most wanted woman in the world.
Now she's known more widely as Lady Al Qaeda.
Yes.
Now, in 2010, and I'll tell you why she got a conviction in 2010, her legend has grown.
Pakistanis are, from time to time, have protests over her arrest.
And there is a broad movement that suggests that she was tortured by U.S.
authorities, wrongly convicted.
Well, let me tell you about her.
Something that you should know, a little bit about her background.
She lived in the United States for quite a few years.
She attended MIT.
And then, as I say, she got a PhD from Brandeis University.
In 1995, she agreed to a marriage arranged by her mother to a Karachi-born Pakistani, just out of medical school, and whom she'd never met.
And the marriage was conducted over the telephone.
I think we would be entirely justified in not letting anybody in the country who married a complete stranger over the telephone.
Yes!
Just as a general rule.
Just as a general rule.
Well, later on, she disappeared into the Middle East.
We don't know where exactly, but then she was arrested in Afghanistan with plans to carry out some mass casualty attack on the Empire State Building or other targets in the United States.
And the Afghans then called in our guys to interrogate her.
And as it turned out, while she was being interrogated, the Afghans did not tell the American interrogators that she was unshackled.
And one guy, he had an M4 carbine that he just set down at his feet.
She jumped up, grabbed the thing, squeezed off several rounds, missed fortunately, and then one of the security guards neutralized her with two 9mm bullets.
Well, she survived, but she was brought back to the United States and she was tried for this attempt.
Oh, just a few more piquant details about her attempt with the M4 Carbine.
She shouted, Al-Akbar!
And then, because her English is pretty good after all these years in living in the United States, she said, get the fuck out of here.
And I guess her plan was to get them the fuck out of the planet.
In any case, she survived this ordeal.
She's been sentenced to 86 years in prison.
But her conviction led to all sorts of protests.
It was called an attack on Islam and Muslims.
But she is currently a guest of the people of America in Fort Worth, Texas, in a federal prison.
And she is slated for release on August 6th, 2083.
So, just a reminder, you can be well-educated and still have very vile intentions towards us, just like this doctor who got nabbed on his way out to become a jihadi.
Now, let's have a complete shift of gears here, and Mr. Kersey, do tell us what's going on in New York City and Philadelphia.
Let's start with New York City first.
It's a city that a lot of people are watching right now.
We talked about it last week about what's happening with the budget where Mayor de Blasio is wanting to put his wife in charge of this task force on diversity when it comes to the deaths of COVID-19 and the budget cuts that could be happening for first responders and teachers, police officers.
Well, here's what's happening in the city when it comes to robbery.
The New York Post reports that even with subway ridership dwindling to essential workers, subway robberies are continuing to climb.
This is newly released New York Police Department statistics data.
Forceful thefts responded on the rails between April 27th and this past Sunday have more than doubled, even as the overall crime in the subways has drastically dropped.
So there's fewer crime, but more violent crime.
Precisely.
I wonder if that's because the cars are so deserted.
I don't know.
I wonder why that would be.
That's interesting.
Maybe it's all these people who got this revolving door, no bail, you can't put them in jail because the poor little dears might get the virus.
But that's... I wouldn't have necessarily expected that.
Here's something fascinating.
In the 28-day period ending Sunday, there were 39 robberies on the subway, while there were just 30 thefts during the same time period in 2019.
So there's a 30% increase even though ridership is down so dramatically.
How much is it down?
Less than 50%?
I think I saw some statistic for it.
It's maybe even far fewer riders.
Oh no, it's even crazier than that number.
Ready for this?
Yes.
Ridership has dropped more than 90% amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Oh boy, that means that riding the subway has, on a per capita basis, suddenly become 10 times as dangerous.
Yes.
Well, Philadelphia, what we're seeing in Philadelphia is the same thing.
Astute listeners might recall that a few weeks ago we talked about the first black female police commissioner of Philadelphia by way of I believe Portland and her first act in office was to state that you could have fancy nails, fancy black nails.
That's very important.
And then she put out a memo where they were going to let police officers know you shouldn't respond to a variety of crimes during the coronavirus because we don't want to put the police in harm's way.
Well, here's what's happening.
The Philadelphia Magazine reports that earlier this week, a small group of people, took to the streets outside City Hall to protest the increasing violence in Philadelphia during the coronavirus crisis, especially the rise in the murder rate.
So, Philadelphia had had 118 homicides as of Tuesday night a couple weeks ago, which is an 18% increase over the same period of time from 2019.
Now, you remember, how long has Pennsylvania been in lockdown?
Pennsylvania was one of those first states that instituted a stay-at-home order.
You know, there is that dichotomy between Republican and Democrat states, the way that they've been operated during this crisis.
And it's been fascinating to think that in a lot of these major cities, when people should be staying at home, we're seeing an increase in violent crime.
We're seeing that in Chicago and Cincinnati.
Do you think the fellows are just getting stir crazy?
I don't know what the brothers are doing.
We've got a couple more stories that are going to deal with it, but in Philadelphia, I mean, it is a situation where, again, the stats don't lie.
The Philadelphia police put out a very thorough and detailed homicide report every year.
They stopped doing it, unfortunately, when the Soros-funded DA came into office about two years ago.
But it clearly illustrated pattern, for those of us wicked enough to dare engage in pattern recognition.
But so we are looking at a number of cities where As Colin Flaherty would call them, the fellas.
The fellas.
Shout out to good old Colin.
Yes.
Are just not social distancing.
No, they're not.
It seems like they're doing the contrary.
They're getting up close and personal.
Well, very interesting.
Again, it's not something I never necessarily would have expected.
I think the other day we were talking about increases in car theft.
That I can understand.
Because the cars are sitting around, they're not being driven to work, there's fewer people on the streets, nobody's looking, so hey, hop in.
But homicide?
I wouldn't have guessed it.
But maybe people are really getting, it's driving people crazy to be Kept inside.
Well, here's a story about liberals devouring their own.
And these are always amusing stories to me.
There is something called the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club in San Francisco.
Not surprising.
Now, it recently issued an email message about San Francisco Mayor London Breed.
London Breed, of course, is San Francisco's first African-American mayoress.
And it was sent on Saturday, and the email message was lashing out at Ms.
Breed for moving so sluggishly on housing the city's homeless population in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
This it accused Mayor Reed of Hobophobia.
Now, I have a quote.
Homophobia and hobophobia are two sides of the same rancid overspent coin, this said.
So, by failing to attend to the needs of the hobos, This was almost as bad, or just as bad, as homophobia.
And it asserted that Mayor Breed, because of these policies towards the homeless population, is guilty of a form of, quote, black-on-black crime, because she's black and the hobo population is largely black.
Well, now I was reading about this in a publication called the Bay Area Reporter.
And it, I will quote from it, black-on-black is a phrase that has been called out not only as a racist trope used against black people by white nationalists and others, but also factually inaccurate when looking at black, when looking at crime statistics.
Factually inaccurate?
I mean, there is black-on-black crime, but we're not even, we're supposed to, it doesn't exist?
Factually imagined?
Also, The fact that the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club used the term hobophobia was also criticized for calling homeless people hobos.
So, the club has apologized.
It apologized for hobophobia.
It apologized for Black on Black.
It just apologized just as diligently and as passionately as it could.
But the surprise here The letter was sent by a fellow named Kevin Bard, who is a gay black man, who is president of the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club.
He's the one who wrote the email message.
Now, I don't know if he will be removed from his post, but he was the source of this racist, because he used the term black on black, and a hobophobic tweet.
So, I'm sorry, it was not a tweet, it was an email message.
But speaking of Twitter, Twitter is now going to notify users that whenever they're about to post a reply that uses harmful language, They will have an opportunity to think twice about it.
They're going to have an algorithm within the system itself.
The experiment began on Tuesday and will run for several weeks, but it's only for Apple devices.
I guess people on Android can just be as wild and mean as they like.
But if you put together a tweet And the experimental algorithm thinks it's not nice.
You'll get a message that says, to let you rethink a reply, we're running a limited experiment with a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it's published if it uses language that could be harmful.
You know, I wonder if you could test this and type the most violent, over-the-top, anti-white message and see what happens if it gets Twitter forbids abuse targeted at, and let me quote, this is their exhaustive list, women, people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual individuals, as well as marginalized and historically underrepresented communities.
Now, there is a gaping absence there, white men.
So we'll see.
I mean, it would be very interesting.
It'd be very interesting thing to try to test that, wouldn't it?
Now, but Twitter's not yet indicated whether those who go ahead and hit the send button
will be instantly banned or would just get to have their tweets flagged for review.
If the, if the algorithm says, this is a bad, and we're going to give you an opportunity to stop.
So anyway, that's part of the new nanny state these days.
Twitter is going to, but you know, you could consider this.
They consider this a kindness on the part of Twitter.
It's going to warn you.
It's going to hold your hand and ask you to restrain yourself.
If you are tempted to do something that Twitter might consider harmful in its words.
Now, just another little tidbit.
Portland State University.
It is facing an investigation by the Department of Education because there is a student organization that has been funded and supported by the university called Feminists of Color Collective.
The Feminists of Color Collective excludes not only Men, because they're feminists, but all white women as well.
So they keep white women, well, they keep all whites and women, so long as they're white, out of this thing.
And so the Department of Education has actually been persuaded to investigate them.
I'll be curious to see what sort of results we get.
Now, we have another little story.
This was one that comes to us from Flint, Michigan.
Flint, Michigan.
Now, as you know, Governor Whitmer, she has had one of the most ferocious stay-at-home orders in any of the states.
It went into effect on April 27th, and part of it allows businesses to refuse service to customers who do not wear face masks.
And what happened is Charmelle Teague, one of our African-American fellow citizens, and her daughter entered a family dollar store.
Now, there happened to be a security guard at the Family Dollar Store.
I don't find security guards at my local Family Dollar Store, but in Flint, Michigan, you do.
Well, spoiler alert, Flint, Michigan is 54% black and 37% white.
Well, maybe that's got something to do with it.
It might.
It might.
In any case, there was a security guard, equally melanin-enhanced, named Calvin Munerlin.
And he told Charmelle Teague's daughter she better put on a mask in compliance with the governor's shelter-in-place order.
Well, Charmelle Teague, the mother, got into a verbal altercation and Then the daughter left the store, didn't want to be around this, but Charmelle Teague started yelling at the security guard who told her then to leave and instructed a cashier not to serve her.
So out she went, but she left the store, hopped into her red GMC Envoy, then came back 20 minutes later with two men.
Her husband, Larry Teague, and her son, Raymonia Bishop.
An odd name for a man, it seems to me, but Raymonia and Larry showed up.
They walked into the store, all dressed in black, apparently.
I guess they'd suited up for the occasion.
And while her husband, Larry Teague, was yelling at the security guard, the son walked up and shot him in the head, killed him.
Now, this is a story that is strange for a whole host of reasons.
To get this excited about an incident of this kind is really quite astonishing.
I cannot imagine pretty much any other segment of the population behaving in this way.
I'd be curious to see a story of this kind of equivalent behavior.
But, to me, there is a justification.
After all, The daughter, as an African-American fellow citizen, as we all know, could have been mistaken for a bank robber or somebody knocking over the cashier if she'd put on a face covering, right?
Well, we recall those stories from about a month ago.
Yes.
Oh, these stories have been circulating widely that blacks have a legitimate fear of being gunned down as potential bank robbers if they show up wearing a face covering.
And I'm sure, I'm absolutely sure that that's why Charmelle Teague's daughter refused to put on a face mask.
But this apparently was not discussed.
Now, in Atlanta, there's been an interesting development after the malls opened.
Apparently, Atlanta is opening up bit by bit by bit.
And one of the first things that happened was a massive crowd gathered on Saturday outside a mall, lined up before stores opened with a line stretching all around the mall, hoping to buy the It is.
It's apparently something called the Air Jordan Fire Red sneaker.
And I was curious to see what this goes for.
It's retailing at about $300.
Hey, you know what?
The Trump bucks, that's only a fourth of the Trump bucks.
You know, it did occur to me, this might be stimulus money.
Stimulus money that's going into the coffers.
You could buy a couple pair if there are any restrictions.
You know, at some places, grocery stores have restrictions on the amount of meat you
can buy now, toilet paper. But at these stores, you would think that they'd be like, hey, you
know what? This is a great time to actually try and get these fellas to buy two or three
pair because they got, you know, if they have some kids, they get that $500 per child.
You got a lot of opportunity here.
They got the dough.
They got the dough.
And yes, somehow, somehow, I didn't even have to tell you that the crowd was not one of great diversity.
I saw a little video of parts of the crowd, and there was not a bit of diversity that I could discover.
It was absolutely monochrome.
They did not appear to be engaging in social distancing, and I didn't see a mask in sight either.
And this is a state, Mr. Taylor, where 80% of those in hospitals right now are black.
Joe Biden's made a huge deal about the racial disparities.
I think he's starting his own task force about this, and he's promised tens of millions of dollars to explore why this is happening, why this is happening in Chicago.
We've seen the videos of these house parties.
We've seen their diminutive, weird-looking I shouldn't say that.
The upstanding mayor of Chicago implored people to stay at home and, you know, we'll arrest you!
You know, when she's going out getting her hair cut, as if that's essential.
But there is a reason why you have high rates of COVID-19 in the African-American community.
There are a number of reasons, but that is certainly one of them.
And it was quite startling to see these people lined up.
Actually, it didn't look like much of a line.
Just clumps of people.
I'm glad I wasn't there.
I'm glad I wasn't running that store when the door was open.
Because I suspect there was quite a stampede getting in there, but I did not hear of any untoward incidents once the store opened.
But there was a crowd, it was packed tight, and they were there for their Air Jordan 5 Fire Red sneakers.
I can safely say I've never owned a pair of Air Jordans.
I never was into Michael Jordan growing up.
I always liked Larry Bird and Christian Laettner.
You know, I know you probably can't even name an NBA player since maybe Jerry West.
Chuck Taylor.
I had a pair of Chuck Taylors.
Chuck Taylors?
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
Now, was he a basketball player?
I assume he was a basketball player.
I don't know.
Maybe it was just a nice name.
But moving on to the Pilaters.
The Pulitzers have just been awarded and one of the 2020 prizes for commentary was awarded on just this month to Nicole Hannah-Jones for a piece she wrote for the New York Times.
The title of this essay was, Our Democracy's Finding Ideals Were False When They Were Written.
Black Americans Have Fought to Make Them True.
This was the essay that launched The New York Times' 1619 Project, which pointed out that the founding of our nation should not be considered 1776, but 1619, because the most significant thing that ever happened was the arrival of black slaves in 1619.
More important than anything else.
And it's the presence of blacks that has colored every aspect of our existence.
Made us wealthy, made us racist, taught us double-entry bookkeeping.
You name it, you name it.
It's the presence of blacks.
And so our findings should be 1619 rather than 1776.
Now, one of the things that she wrote That particularly caught my eye is conveniently left out of our founding mythology is the fact that one of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery.
Now, when did Britain abolish slavery in the Empire?
It was the 1800, wasn't it?
1834.
Yeah, that's right.
1834.
That was 58 years after the Declaration.
Those Founding Fathers must have been really smart guys, huh?
They saw it coming 58 years down the road.
They said, uh-oh, uh-oh, they're coming for our slaves.
Well, as you know, the Declaration of Independence lists a whole long list of reasons, of reasons.
Somehow that's not there.
You know what is there?
Oh, yes, I know what you're going to say.
It is the fact that King George wouldn't do anything to help the colonists out.
When it came to savage Indian incursions.
That's right.
The Indian savages.
Yes.
The Indian savages.
He won't help us when the Indian savages are after our scallops.
But there you go.
There you go.
And what a pure surprise for this.
And historians, even in American universities today, which are hotbeds of insanity, many of them have said this is really cuckoo.
The idea that somehow, somehow, we declared independence because King George wants our slaves and we're not gonna let him get them, so we better fight.
You know, a couple, a couple, Years ago, I came up with just this kind of tongue-in-cheek way of describing life in America as black-run America.
It doesn't mean that blacks run America.
It means that America is run for the benefit and the advancement of blacks.
Could this story not illustrate more of that concept in a nutshell?
There is a kind of mental capitulation in the face of any kind of black demand.
Something as preposterous as this, and there's more to talk about in this little essay of hers, by the way, but to make a statement like this, that no reputable historian would recognize as legitimate, and then get a Pulitzer Prize for this?
It's, it beggars the imagination.
But now, interestingly enough, what I read to you was the original text.
And the New York Times got enough heat from legitimate historians, so that instead of saying that the, let's see, it was one of the primary reasons colonists decided to declare independence, it was changed.
To make it one of the primary reasons some of the colonists, some of the colonists, so they're hedging their bets.
Some of the colonists decided to declare their independence.
Well, anyway.
So even to say that it was one of the primary reasons, that was too much.
After it got published, of course, it was published for months before they deigned to make that correction.
Now that correction is not mentioned when they make a correction in the New York Times.
They usually describe the correction.
That one they somehow decided not to mention.
But now here's another quote from Pulitzer Prize winner Nicole Hannah-Jones.
It was their relentless buying, selling, insuring, and financing of their bodies.
Of course, black bodies.
You can't talk about black people anymore.
It's black bodies.
And the products of their labor that made Wall Street a thriving banking, insurance, and trading sector, and New York City the financial capital of the world.
Without black people, none of that would have happened.
Well, wasn't there an amazing data Point that was just published at AR about two weeks ago about New York City.
Well, it was what?
What were the statistics on it?
The Great Replacement in New York City.
1910 New York City I believe was 92% white.
It was that 8%, it was that 8% made it the financial capital of the world.
Where do they get this stuff?
Where do they even dream up this stuff?
Where do they dream up Katherine Johnson as being the sole person behind the Apollo program and the moon landing?
The New York Times publishes this and the Pulitzer Prize, the Pulitzer Committee gives her a prize.
And so all the School of Children of America will be forced to read this rubbish.
Now, I'll let you, I'll read to you just a few more quotes here.
Anti-Black racism runs in the very DNA of this country, and then, this is pretty good too, without the idealistic, strenuous, and patriotic efforts of Black Americans, our democracy today would most likely look very different.
It might not be a democracy at all.
In other words, one man, one vote, whatever you think about that, is thanks to Black people.
Thanks to Black people, just like everything good.
Wow!
So, you know, New York would never have become the financial capital of the world, never have had a thriving banking, insurance and trading sector without the presence of black people.
Basically, America would be a dung heap without black people.
And she gets the Pulitzer.
Yeah, of course, we could point out that back in 1910, Detroit was 98% white.
And now it's on the cusp of being under 10% white.
Well, you know, because it was only 2%, that's why it was not the financial capital of the world.
Imagine if it had 30% black people.
Wow!
It'd be capital of the world.
That's about 1965 Detroit, when it was 30% black, 70% white.
Anyway, tell us about migrants to Italy and tell us about Nigel Farage.
We'll step overseas.
America is just getting on my nerves, so we'll move overseas.
We'll move overseas.
Let's go to Italy real quick, where we learn that after a two-week quarantine on a cruise ship off the coast of Sicily, illegal migrants from the NGO ships Alan Kurdi and Aida Marie have been allowed to enter Italy despite the country's leftist establishment government claiming last month that its ports would remain closed until July 31st.
Now, what did these two NGO ships bring to the shores of Italy?
181 migrants were allowed to leave the cruise ship Rafael Rubatino to land at a port in Palermo after they all tested negative for the Wuhan coronavirus, the Italy News Agency reports.
Of the 183 illegal migrants that disembarked on Monday, only two were women.
So it's again one of those, if you're paying attention, there are certain patterns that emerge with these migrant crisis.
Does it say where they're from?
It does not say where they are from.
But once they set foot on Italian land, they were transferred by bus to reception centers in Benvenito and Solorino.
So, yes, again, we're seeing a situation where the purported ports were closed for another couple months, but instead, open up Europa.
It's a humanitarian gesture.
Speaking of humanitarian gestures, Nigel Farage was visited by police after traveling to Dover to see how many illegal migrants
were coming into England. He claims to have been visited by police officers and warned not to
breach lockdown restrictions after he traveled to Dover to report on migrants. I watched these
reports and it was sad. I mean, again, here I have a situation where England's supposed to be
locked down. It's going back to that tried and true concept of the late San Francis of anarcho-tyranny.
The law-abiding are being told to stay at home.
And what's happening with an invasion force, basically.
So, Nigel Farage went to Dover to watch these people coming across the beaches?
Yeah, he went to East Sussex on April 28th.
And he was videotaping them.
He gave this speech about what's going on.
He was upset.
He declared that he's not going to let this story drop.
Over the weekend, I was quite, uh, because he was just so upset that why are we allowing this to happen?
We're stuck indoors and our government is letting them in.
Bingo.
Bingo.
But so he's the one who is against the law.
He's the one who's punished.
He's the one who has... Was he fined or just threatened with a fine?
Well, he wrote on Twitter, lockdown lunacy.
Two police officers just knocked on my door to advise me on essential travel.
They had received a complaint that I had been to Dover to report on the illegal migrant scandal taking place.
What a total waste of time and money.
But the migrants were involved in essential travel.
I guess.
It is essential travel to displace Native Britons and the Indigenous.
That's essential.
Can't be stopped.
Boy, oh boy.
Well, Denmark is a source of good news story.
Denmark's immigration ministry says that in 2019, for the first time since 2011, more foreigners left Denmark than entered.
It's a great news story.
And the minister in charge of the matter called the official figures wonderful.
Wonderful.
Oh boy, wonderful.
Now, Matthias Tesfaya did say Whenever possible, it's only natural for refugees to travel back to their homeland.
I'm glad that we can give people protection while it's needed, but I'm happy every time a refugee can return home.
Yes, so am I. The main groups of people that left last year were Somalis, Syrians, Iraqis, and Bosnians, whereas the largest number of people who came were from Eritrea, Iran, and Afghanistan.
But, last year, the net outflow was $730.
That seems like a modest figure to me, but it's a great beginning and let's hope they keep it up.
Hey, that's a good news story.
That's a very good news story.
Now, here is a goofy news story from Britain.
And I suspect Nigel Farage would agree with me about the idiocy of this story.
There's something in the United Kingdom called the National Cyber Security Center.
It's involved in making sure that people are not subjected to cyber fraud and keeping things locked up tight.
Well, it was contacted by a customer.
The customer was worried that the website of the National Cyber Security Center uses the words blacklist and whitelist.
Who?
Now, so a spokesman said, in the name of helping to stamp out racism in cybersecurity, We will avoid the casually pejorative wording on our website.
They're going to stamp out cyber security racism.
A belonging officer would have easily have noticed.
Such nomenclature and said, hey, this is not allowed.
You know, you're right.
You're right.
If they'd had a properly constituted and properly authorized belonging officer, they wouldn't have gotten in this trouble in the first place.
This is a growth industry waiting to explode in the post-coronavirus world, where anybody who dares call it the Wuhan or the China virus immediately is digitally erased.
You don't belong.
Well, instead of white list and black list, they're going to refer to allow list and deny list.
I told you!
Belonging!
I didn't even know that was next!
Allow list.
Allow list.
Well, oh gosh.
You know, the one I always point to is, I guess we can't say the company's in the black anymore.
Well, that's a positive thing.
Of course that's a positive, but if we're consistent, we can't say that.
Not in the black.
Can't be in the black.
Oh dear, so will there always be in England?
I'm not sure anymore.
I'm really not sure.
