Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me, of course, is Paul Kersey, my co-host.
We continue to live in astonishing times, and I've decided to cease to be surprised no matter what happens in this crazy world of ours.
I used to be surprised by things, but I've promised never, ever again to be surprised.
We just have to be prepared for anything.
And one of the things that I should have been prepared for, but was not, was today's Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump's attempt to end the DACA program.
As our listeners will recall, DACA was something that involves giving amnesty to the children who hopped the border along with their parents, illegal immigrants, no matter what age they were.
And President Obama had tried to persuade Congress to give them an amnesty.
He failed to do so.
And so he decided to act unilaterally, simply on his own hook by presidential executive order.
He decided to rewrite the immigration law so as to exempt Minors who've been brought into the country.
Well, of course, one of Donald Trump's campaign promises was that the first day in office, he was going to issue an executive order to countermand his predecessor's executive order.
He failed to do that.
He finally got around to it after almost three quarters of his way through the term.
But of course, this ended up in the courts.
The courts, alas, decided that he could not countermand that order.
And even Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court's Democratic appointees in a 5-4 decision.
Now, this isn't the last time, nor the first time, when John Roberts, Chief Justice, defects to the other side.
Now, the decision, they said, to phase out the program was unlawful because And this is reasoning that quite astonishes me.
It did not consider all the options available to rein in the program and failed to account for the interests of those who are relying on it.
Now, Mr. Kersey, this, to me, is astounding.
It didn't consider the interests of the people involved?
Does that mean that if there is some kind of ruling that goes against the interests of murderers, say, or victims of crime, the fact that we don't worry enough about them means that the law is different?
Isn't that, in effect, what the justices have said here?
Up is down, black is white, green is blue.
I mean, this, nothing surprises me anymore.
You know, going back to what you said at the beginning about just being prepared.
I think about the Boy Scouts and their great motto, be prepared.
But you know, the Boy Scouts now have, Eagle Scouts have to get a diversity badge after all this nonsense regarding George Floyd.
So nothing surprises me anymore.
And this decision, it just makes sense if you think about all that's happened with Chief Justice John Roberts and just his feckless nature since his appointment by George W. Bush.
Well, Roberts went on to say that the Trump official who ordered the wind-down that was acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke failed to consider whether it was possible to eliminate the work permits issued to DACA recipients without ending the limited protection they enjoy from deportation.
What has that got to do with the law?
Beats me.
He also said that she didn't give adequate thought to how important the program was to those with DACA status.
Gosh, she didn't just realize how important it was.
So in other words, if it's really important, somebody who cares about the law.
So he says the appropriate recourse is to remand to the Department of Homeland Security so they can consider the problem all over again.
They can try again.
But my guess is they certainly won't have time to try again before the next election.
No, not at all.
It was as usual, Justice Clarence Thomas, the one black man of the Supreme Court who thinks more clearly than any of the other honkies on the court, And he wrote a dissent joined by Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh because they said that, as Thomas put it, DHS has no implicit discretion to create new classes of lawful presence.
Or to grant relief for removal out of whole cloth.
In other words, that's what Barack Obama did.
All on his own hook.
He says, okay, you can be here legally, even if you came illegally.
And he granted relief from removal out of whole cloth, just because he wanted to, out of thin air.
Then Justice Thomas went on to say, DACA is substantively unlawful.
This conclusion should begin and end our review.
Now, I don't see how he could have been any clearer than that.
It seems very clear to me.
He legislated from the White House and he basically admitted that because he couldn't get Congress to do it.
He says, okay, I'll do it myself.
The heck with the separation of powers.
And that's what Thomas says.
It was illegal to begin with.
Surely it should be legal to countermand an illegal executive Order.
You know, it disproportionately impacts people of color.
Thus, we know the number, the zeroth amendment to the Constitution, thou cannot do anything that negatively impacts people of color for the benefit of the dwindling white majority.
Well, wait a minute.
There you have it, Mr. Taylor.
Not even if it's to our benefit, if it's just simply uphold the law.
Yeah.
Yeah, if the law negatively impacts... Now see, I keep going back to my old, my tired, hackneyed old example.
If the laws against murder have a disparate impact on our melanin-enhanced fellow citizens, hadn't we better get rid of them too?
Well, I guess later on we're talking about defunding the police, so that might have that effect.
Well, you know, good old Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer.
You know what his reaction was to this Supreme Court decision?
No, I don't.
What was it?
He said, right on the Senate floor, he said, I cried tears of joy.
You know, I wonder if he's got that on video.
Did he really cry tears of joy?
Oh, what an emotional and sensitive man.
Ah, our minority leader in the Senate is.
Well, anyway, he's crying tears of joy.
Well, he's just like all these other loony leftists, of course.
And loony leftism, as I understand it, has now infected the Orlando Sentinel.
Mr. Taylor, it's not just the Orlando Sentinel, and I think we'd be remiss if we don't remind all of our listeners that today is June 18th.
And I want to thank everyone out there who is listening and sharing this podcast with your friends.
Our numbers have been just tremendous during this tumultuous time in our history.
And I want to thank each and every one of you for listening.
Make sure that you like this video and subscribe to the channel.
But let's talk about the Orlando Sentinel, because we're seeing this increasingly across newsrooms across the country.
The Orlando Sentinel in the aftermath of the daily protest against quote unquote racial injustice regarding the
killing of George Floyd, Florida newspapers,
from the Orlando Sentinel to the Tampa Bay Times, they've announced they're no longer gonna be publishing
their mugshot database.
Mr. Taylor, do you have any idea why that might be?
I have a very clear idea why that might be.
Because the mugshot database reflects life as it is.
And we are supposed to walk around in dreamland assuming that life is not as it is.
Because the mugshot database gives a very realistic impression of who's committing the crime and we would prefer to live in dreamland.
Is that close enough?
Stay asleep, white man.
Stay asleep.
Because if you dare engage in pattern recognition, you're committing the gravest, most grievous sin imaginable.
Yes, the Orlando Sentinel put out this statement, quote, The Orlando Sentinel is discontinuing the posting of arrest mugshot galleries effective today.
We've come to realize that without context, the galleries have little journalistic value and may have reinforced negative stereotypes.
End quote.
Oh dear, you know, I'm sure the negative stereotypes they're worried about are the fact that so many of these mugshots are men, and they don't want to enforce this negative stereotype that men commit more crime than women.
That is a terrible thing that anybody would want to believe, right?
Well, this whole concept of little journalistic value, I mean, one of the most important aspects of a local newspaper, you would think, is to Educate the citizens who is actually committing a crime, especially if somebody is still wanted if they've committed a crime.
You see this increasingly when there's a suspect in a crime.
There's very little description.
There's no racial description.
It's, oh, six foot two, male, black hair.
Okay, that's it?
There can be lots of description.
You know, wore high-top sneakers, raggedy-bottom jeans, went off in a two-toned car that was a late model something or other.
Race?
Oh, gosh, didn't notice.
So the publication that put out this story, the Orlando Weekly, they noted this about why they've never published mugshot galleries.
They said this, quote, the reasons why are pretty simple.
Arrest rates are racially disproportionate.
Mugshots can cost jobs, housing and more, all before a defendant even faces judgment in court.
Although public record laws would allow us to download and display photos of arrestees doing so subverts our justice
systems already tenuous presumption of innocence exposing the individuals to public shaming and scrutiny
before they've been tried or Convicted end quote, you know, it's funny because you think
about what's happening to all these police officers whether it's in Minneapolis
Or whether it's in Atlanta where the mob has already decided that though that these four white officers in
Minneapolis to a white I believe two are Asian and of course the white officer in
Atlanta and the black officer who?
Participants in this Wendy's incident.
I forgot the guy's name He's not he hasn't reached sainthood like George Floyd has I forgot his name, but you think there is absolutely no idea of Contaminating the public mind when it comes to just already castigating these officers Nope, nope, nope publish their photographs right away before anybody knows anything about it except that a black man has died That's all we need to know.
He died the hands of a white man.
Boom Guilty guilty without even an indictment But yes, the loony leftism continues to spread throughout the land.
And you know, even Reason Magazine, Reason Magazine occasionally is pretty reasonable.
They ran a story about some of this idiocy.
I don't know if you followed the story of a lecturer at UCLA named Gordon Klein.
Well, he declined a demand that he make final exams no harm.
That is, they could only boost grades, but only for students of color, because they'd been traumatized by the events in Minneapolis.
He went along with the guidelines of UCLA's administration not to give students much leeway on exams.
Either you take them or you don't.
You pass or you fail.
But when he refused to give special consideration to students of color, I imagine we're really just talking about black students.
I doubt there were any Asian students who said, oh, I'm so traumatized.
I can't take a normal exam.
But activists launched a change.org petition to get Professor Klein fired.
And lo and behold, the school did suspend him.
That's right.
His irritated reply to the activists that he would not give preferential exam treatment to students because of their skin color prompted UCLA to investigate him for racial discrimination.
That's the new definition.
I'm sorry to laugh here.
This is a story.
There's so much happening, Mr. Taylor, but this is a story I just haven't had a chance to follow.
And when you hear these details, I hope our listeners out there can at least With all that's going on, just laugh at some of this stuff, because that is a proper reaction.
Yes, you can be enraged, you can walk around and just feel as if there's black pill after black pill, but at some point you have to just let out a massive default.
You have to just laugh because of the absurdity of modernity.
Well, what's the phrase you've got to laugh to keep from crying?
And yes, if you don't give preferential treatment to blacks, then you can be investigated for racial discrimination.
Yeah, you just can't help chuckling, can you?
Well, Reason Magazine cited yet another example I thought was pretty good.
There is a University of Chicago economist by the name of Harold Ulig.
He had the god-awful temerity to criticize some of the more radical demands that the protesters have made.
He also doesn't approve, he doesn't approve of rioting basically.
I mean that's his sin and he criticized NFL players for kneeling and that apparently is bad enough so that there has been a huge pile on to get him fired and it's not just random hopped up students.
The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman And University of Michigan Professor Justin Wolfers and even former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told the New York Times, quote, it would be appropriate for the University of Chicago to review Ulig's performance and suitability to continue as editor of the Journal of Political Economy.
Wow.
You criticize NFL players for it?
Nearly.
And you say you don't approve of rioting.
And you get the former head of the Fed, Janet Yellen, calling up your boss and saying, fire this guy.
These are amazing times.
And what are the parallels that I've seen lately?
And I think it's pretty good.
And it comes with a sort of a startling coincidence.
I've been reading about the French Revolution, really, because there are parallels to our times.
In 1793, The Committee of Public Safety took charge of the revolution and promised, quote, to make terror the order of the day.
Now, it seems to me as though the entire country is being run by a myriad of Committees of Public Safety.
Every university, every company, every organization, every association has got its own little Committee of Public Safety and they're going to make terror the order of the day.
We don't get our heads chopped off.
But we do lose our jobs and we do lose our social standing.
I guess that's just another example of white privilege.
What do you reckon?
Well, you know, speaking of white privilege, just a quick story.
Dan Cathy, the CEO of Chick-fil-A, recently came out and said that white people need to face their white privilege, and he sat down and he cleaned the boot of a wrapper that he appeared on a show with.
Chick-fil-A, of course, is located, I believe it's still, it's headquartered in Clayton County, which is a metro, which is a part of metro Atlanta, a suburb.
It was about 90% white, and it was about 95% white in 1980.
And the Cathy family, I can tell you, they grew up in Clayton County.
They grew up in Jonesboro.
They all went to school there.
What's fascinating about all this, this is a county that's now about 12% white, Mr. Taylor, Clayton County.
And this is where in 2005, when they elected their first black sheriff, Victor Hill, his first act was to fire most of the white police and march them out with snipers on the roof.
Yeah, to make sure they didn't object.
That's exactly what happens.
When white police officers are fired, the first thing they're going to do is grab their government issue AR-15 and blaze away.
Of course, got to watch out for that.
But yes, more white privilege.
Now, I didn't realize that the head of Chick-fil-A did that.
At one time, that guy seemed to have a certain amount of spine, but his spine is melting away.
As the insanity spreads, it seems to have knocked all the protein out of his bones, so he is now an invertebrate, along with the rest of them.
But I didn't realize though that he was in the bootlicking business like so many other whites, but there you go.
And of course, as you know, HBO has booted Gone with the Wind from its archive because to keep the title available, and I quote their notice, without an explanation and a denouncement, a denouncement, usually the word is denunciation, but without a denouncement of its racist depictions would be irresponsible.
Oh boy, we can't ever be irresponsible, can we?
But you know, I think Gone to the Wind was the first time a black actor or actress got an Oscar.
It was Hattie McDaniels for her performance as Mammy.
Of course, you know, she spoiled it all by, in her acceptance speech, saying that she hoped she would be a credit to her race.
Oh dear, oh dear.
Can't have that.
But anyway, HBO has kicked Gone to the Wind out of the archive, but now I understand that it is the number one film at Amazon and number five at Apple.
And you know, while the lunacy mounts, At the University of Ghana.
You know, lunacy can just jump an ocean with no trouble at all these days.
They've torn down a statue of Gandhi.
Well, I mean, Gandhi, of course, is one of the saints, one of the secular saints in the West, but he said unkind things about Africans, and so University of Ghana has turned its back on Gandhi.
Now, of course, he is not the last statue to go down, not the first, not the last, and many more, as I understand.
You've been keeping tabs on this.
Who else has been coming down these days, Mr. Kersey?
Who else has been coming down these days?
Well, there's a lot of people coming down.
I mean, we know Christopher Columbus statues are being, in some cases, brought down without even having a mob come after them.
It's just part and parcel of spineless elected officials who don't want any disturbances and they don't want people to get hurt.
Did you know that popular mechanics actually put out an article telling people how to safely tear down statues, Mr. Taylor?
No, no.
Give me a couple of hints.
What do you do?
I haven't had a chance to look at the article.
I did bookmark it.
It's just there's so much happening that every minute something new is going on.
Let's just go over briefly a couple of the statues that have been taken down.
The University of Nevada at Las Vegas, they are going to get rid of the frequently controversial Hey Reb.
It basically looks like your caricature of a Confederate officer.
There's long been various petitions and calls for having action because of this often thought of confederate symbol, and of course it actually is a confederate symbol.
Well, Mr. Kruse, how come University of Nevada had a rebel statue?
This makes no sense to me.
I mean, surely that's a mistake.
You forget that Las Vegas was actually settled and founded by confederate veterans.
This has long been a part and a heritage of Vegas.
In fact, at one point, Up until the 1980s, they actually had a mascot called Beauregard.
It was a wolf in confederate guard, armed with a confederate flag.
Well, that's what I recall.
They got rid of that, but then they just did a halfway measure and they got this guy who looks like a confederate gentleman.
Is that what they ended up with?
He looks a lot like Colonel Reb of of what used to be Ole Miss University of Mississippi's mascot, but so they had this amazing statue.
It stood in front of Tam Alumni Center.
It was this big, hay-wrapped statue, and the school took action amid the Black Lives Matter protests across the nation because, of course, we've ceded all moral authority to an organization that had, in 2016, members kill five white cops in Dallas and killed three officers, two that were white, in Baton Rouge in two racial terror attacks.
That doesn't matter, of course, because now corporate America has been in need.
But so, because of this, and because the UNLV Native American Association said it needs to come down, they've decided to remove this Hey Reb statue.
Like I said, so here's what the UNLV president, Dr. Marta Mina, said.
Quote, in recent conversations with the donor, we mutually agreed it was best to remove the statue and return it.
So again, a donor gave a lot of money to have this really cool statue put up in front of this alumni hall.
But you know what?
It's got to come down.
It has to come down.
Wait, wait.
Return it?
In other words, they're going to give it back to the person who stumped up the money to put it up?
That's right.
Well, I wonder what he'll do with it, you know?
Maybe melt it down.
You know what he should do?
He should bequeath it to Peter Brimelow and Lydia so they can put it at their castle there.
As they start to acquire all these monuments, hopefully.
Another statue that is now gone.
We're talking about one to John Sutter, and this was in Sacramento.
Here's how the opening paragraph of this story from KTLA.com describes the removal of this pioneer statue, and I quote, A statue honoring a colonizer who laid claim to the land where the discovery of shiny flakes of gold sparked the California Gold Rush was removed Monday outside a hospital bearing his name in the state capitol, unquote.
Mr. Taylor, that's a lot to unpack there in a paragraph.
Colonizer, that's a word we saw used frequently as a derisive term for white people in the movie Black Panther.
I don't know if you remember that.
Yes.
Also, they use it for white people in South Africa.
Settlers, colonizers, the boor, the farmer.
But he wasn't a colonizer, for heaven's sake.
He was just a prospector.
Exactly.
We'll quote one more paragraph from the article.
Several dozen people cheered as a work crew lifted the statue of John Sutter, a 19th century European colonizer of California who enslaved Native Americans off its pedestal outside of Sutter Medical Center and the latest reckoning of historical figures being removed from public display.
Now this is supposed to be objective journalism and yet you hear words like, you hear adjectives like reckoning of historical figures.
I mean what in the world?
Well, what is it about John Sutter?
John Sutter, they honestly think that he colonized Native, he enslaved Native Americans?
I mean, I wonder what the historical justification for that is.
I've heard very little about people in California actually enslaving American Indians, but who knows?
Maybe he called one a bad name once, you know, or he was guilty of a microaggression against one.
Here's the third paragraph.
This one's even probably more absurd.
Across the U.S.
and Europe, statues of Confederate officers and colonial figures are being toppled, sometimes forcibly by protesters, as the uproar over racism spreads after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
I mean, that's just such a long paragraph, but it gets down to this point that we are seeing not an attack on quote-unquote Confederate history or slaveholder history, Now we're basically seeing the removal of any statue or memorial or building named in their honor or road named in their honor or school named in their honor of a white person.
That's what this is now headed to.
Here's what a spokesperson for the Sutter General Hospital said.
Quote, Out of respect for some community members' viewpoints and in the interest of public safety for our patients and staff, we are removing the John Sutter statue that was originally donated to Sutter General Hospital.
That's it!
Public safety?
In other words, the Sutter statue is going to leap off its pedestal and start boxing the ears of non-white patients?
Well, good grief!
The safety of their patients is threatened by this statue.
Wow, you know, that's like white silence equals violence, you know?
Yeah.
Even a statue, just standing there, it's potentially violent.
Watch out!
Public safety is threatened by this guy.
How many people of color have had their life saved, whether it was from trauma or cancer or some medical emergency, in the Sutter Hospital there?
Obviously, we're going to see the hospital renamed.
They can't have a white man whose statue was removed for public safety, so it'll be renamed for some DACA recipient, I'm sure.
Maybe Sacagawea.
I think Sacagawea Hospital.
That sounds pretty good to me.
But you know, it does make me curious to look into just what Sutter was up to.
They say he made slaves out of American Indians.
Well, gosh.
The fact is, if you look into the biography under a microscope of just about any white man before maybe 1950, you're going to find something that just does not sit well with the current orthodoxies of our time, and so down he's got to go.
Did you ever play the game Oregon Trail?
That old game on those original Apple computers?
No.
You could hunt in the game.
It was a lot of fun and, you know, along the way people could die of cholera and various diseases and, you know, the whole point was to colonize Oregon.
Well, just real quick, the last statue I want to bring up is on the campus of the University of Oregon.
Pioneer statues were actually toppled.
These were statues that were on the campus for decades.
In fact, one was put up in 1919.
And it turns out that it was dedicated by the president of the Oregon Historical Society who gave a speech honoring the Anglo-Saxon race when the statue was commemorated.
Of course, Oregon, Mr. Taylor, I know I don't need to educate you on this, but I think Oregon kept blacks out as citizens until after the Civil War, if I'm not mistaken.
Well, when they were establishing a constitution by a considerable majority, they voted not to permit slavery, but By an even larger majority, they voted not to permit blacks who are free or slave from entering the state.
So, yep, we've got to tear this guy down.
He was one of those pioneers.
He probably wouldn't have wanted blacks coming into his state either.
So, yes, good riddance to bad rubbish.
And the other statute that was removed in the campus of the University of Oregon, or as many people call it, Nike University, because the CEO of Nike has basically remade the university in his image, The Pioneer Mother, which was erected in 1913, was also removed by the protesters.
A researcher, a leftist researcher, found that similar Pioneer Mother statues across Oregon and Washington and the Pacific Northwest, quote, celebrated the expansion of American territory and the expansion of white occupation of that land, end quote.
So the Pioneer Mother and this Pioneer statue, they've got to go because you know what?
We cannot honor Now, did the mob tear these down, or was it something else that got to them?
Was it the administration took them down preemptively, or was it the mob?
No, they were torn down.
They were brought down.
They were violently removed.
They weren't removed by You know, an ad-hoc decision or anything to stop the violence.
They were violently pulled out.
Okay, I should have known.
I should have guessed.
Those Oregonians, the descendants of these pioneer mothers and fathers.
Of course, if there'd been no pioneer fathers, no pioneer mothers, there just wouldn't be any white people out there anyway.
So I guess they're, in effect, committing suicide, aren't they?
In a lot of ways, this is how white privilege ends.
You have to erase the history, so there is no So there is no future if there's no history to celebrate, and presently all these people are basically committing, you know, death, like you said.
I wouldn't call it seppuku because there's no honor in what they're doing, and the Japanese at least have honor when they perform that act.
Seppuku, seppuku.
Seppuku, seppuku.
Well, and you know, it's yet another, yet another unprecedented phenomenon in the United States.
Judges, sitting judges, are going full tilt loony.
Some of them are sounding just like college professors.
And my favorite example is the Chief Justice of North Carolina, the top state justice.
Her name is Sherry Beasley.
And she is one of our melanin enhanced, melanin supercharged fellow citizens.
And standing in her Raleigh, North Carolina courtroom, she said this.
She's talking about the George Floyd frolic.
These protests are a resounding national chorus of voices whose lived experiences reinforce the notion that black people are ostracized, cast out, and dehumanized.
Well, How'd she get to be the Chief Justice of North Carolina?
She has no sense of irony about this, I suppose.
I guess if she hadn't been subject to ostracism, casting out, and dehumanization, I guess she'd be Chief Justice of the United States.
Or maybe she'd be intergalactic superhero ruler of the world, of the universe.
I don't know.
But here she is talking about how badly blacks are treated.
She goes on to say, in our courts, African Americans are more harshly treated, more severely punished, and more likely to be presumed guilty.
Is that so?
In our courts, that's the case?
This is the head, the Supreme, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, saying all of our courts are biased against blacks.
So if that's so, isn't it her fault?
Isn't she guilty of all of this?
Guess not.
You know, this is institutional racism.
You don't have to have actual racists to be institutional racism.
But anyway, not even, not even a top judge who is black can stop all of this horrible treatment of black people.
Amazing, isn't it?
And all seven justices of the California Supreme Court They issued a statement in which they said, people of color are being rightfully denied their, I'm sorry, people of color are being denied their rightful equality.
And they're talking about the court system.
These are judges saying, look at what we've done.
And the Washington State Supreme Court, they issued a statement saying this, the systemic oppression of black Americans is not merely incorrect and harmful, It is shameful and deadly.
Then, Louisiana Chief Justice Burnett Johnson.
Burnett.
Burnett says...
The protests are the consequences of centuries of institutionalized racism that has plagued our legal system.
You got that?
When you go back to school shopping at your local Target, when somebody has printed free stuff for everybody on it, and you go charging in and you go out with a new set of sneakers, They are protesting against the centuries of institutionalized racism that has plagued our legal system.
I bet they didn't know that.
I bet they didn't know that, but that's what they're doing.
That's what Chief Justice Bernat Johnson says.
Now, I've not checked as to what, just how melanin-enhanced Bernat Johnson is, but it makes no difference these days.
You can be grievously melanin-deprived or you can be melanin-supercharged and still talk this kind of loony stuff.
Well, that could be a white ally.
At this point, this is so absurd because we're seeing sitting justices, who are supposed to be impartial, basically justifying the violence and these anti-white attacks.
You and I have been talking about what these riots represent.
They're basically victory riots.
This is not as if the state is in flux.
The state in many cities are citing and openly allowing the Black Lives Matter and whatever you want to call it, just this insurrection.
Insurrection is the wrong word because that would ascribe that this is a violent mob trying to avert and change state rule.
No, this is just state rule finally admitting that Black Lives Matter and these white people are the shock troops of the establishment that even corporate America bends a knee to.
Even Chick-fil-A is bending a knee to and washing the boot.
That's right.
And, you know, Mr. Taylor, I know we're going to talk briefly about what's going on in Atlanta with the police here in a moment, but I really encourage, if there are police officers listening to this podcast, and I know there are a lot of them, I know there are, you know, you guys need to go ahead and do what's right.
In George Orwell's book in 1984, he wrote, if there's hope, it lies with the pearls.
In our world, If there's hope, it lies with the police unions.
And you guys have to start standing down and show the people of these various cities and in the entire country what a nation without police and law and order looks like.
You know, if any person with the imagination of a piece of granite can imagine, it's a world without the police.
But I just want to finish this story about these judges gone full-tilt loony.
The Alaska Supreme Court, they also, the Alaska Supreme Court, they said too often, African Americans, Alaska Natives, can't leave them out if you're in Alaska.
And other people of color are not treated with the same dignity and respect as white members of our communities.
Now, Jeremy Fogle is a former federal and state judge.
And he is struck by this.
He says, I don't remember anything like this happening in all the years I've been following the judiciary and been a part of the judiciary.
When judges come right out and say, yes, our system, in effect, we as human beings, We are biased and we are oppressing people of color.
This is extraordinary.
Judges almost never make any kind of public comment beyond their published decisions.
And for all across the country, judges to be talking this way is absolutely astonishing.
Absolutely astonishing.
Of course, what this leads to is recompense.
When even judges, academics, political candidates, and preachers, and ordinary people are unanimous in saying that blacks have been oppressed, then obviously the solution is to give them reparations.
And California is leading the way.
You're aware, no doubt, that our proposal to establish a task force to study and prepare recommendations for how to give reparations passed the California Assembly.
The bill went forward at a vote of 56 to 5.
Watch out, you five.
We know where you live.
Watch out.
If I could interject real quick, I think you and I pointed out that the Democrats have, it's beyond a super majority there at the General Assembly.
Oh, yes.
I forget what the actual figure is, but maybe 56 to 5, who knows?
Maybe that's Democrats to Republicans, but in any case.
While all these riots were going on, they rushed a vote to the floor and voted 56 to 5 because they were re-energized by the movement for racial justice and it is top priority for California's legislative black caucus, I'm sure it is.
Now, if the bill passes the Senate, and everybody expects it will, and it's signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, now there's a man with a spine, you know, Then, what'll happen is eight people with backgrounds in racial justice reform will lead a study into who would be eligible for compensation and how it would be awarded.
Another priority of California's Legislative Black Caucus passed the same week when lawmakers approved a proposal to repeal California's Affirmative Action Ban.
That passed by the Assembly.
So, now voters will have a chance to decide once the Senate approves the bill, which is certainly likely.
So, two things.
It looks as though there's going to be a commission appointed in California to see who gets the handouts and how much.
And at the same time, they're going to have another chance, another bite of the apple, to see if we can reward black people for being black by giving them affirmative action preferences.
So, we are going backwards in time, backwards in morality, backwards in fairness, but this is the way of California.
And as you know, California almost always leads the country, right?
Well, go back to what you talked about at the beginning of this podcast, Mr. Taylor.
You said you're reading a book about the French Revolution in 1793, and how many committees were being formed, and how many commissions, and how many tribunals, and... Off in his head!
Well, you know, California leads the way, but Robert Johnson of B.E.T., he's got a plan.
You know, I remember reading the Heritage Foundation study where they said something like $22 trillion had been spent on the Great Society trying to manufacture artificial equality through all the various welfare programs.
And you think about where that money could have gone had we actually thought about implementing Walt Disney and Wernher von Braun's dream as opposed to Martin Luther King's dream in the 1960s.
You know, I sometimes wonder how long it's going to take to cancel Walt Disney, Mr. Taylor, since in the 1950s he used their program on ABC to popularize and promote von Braun and his vision of the future when it came to space exploration.
Oh, Walt Disney was a very bad man by today's standards, no doubt about that.
Yeah, I just picked up some Song of the South merchandise.
You know, it's all this stuff, you know, Gone with the Wind stuff is really expensive right now because collectors are realizing it's going to be completely canceled.
And Song of the South has long been canceled, but there still is some merchandise out there.
You know, we'll get to this later, but I think you need to pick up a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup because that's going to be a collector's item.
Yes, so is Uncle Ben, right?
So is Zaterian.
I don't know how to pronounce that word.
Forgive me if anyone in New Orleans is listening.
I butchered Zaterian or Zaterian.
They make a great rice.
I mean, I'm trying to think.
I guess at some point Mr. Clean is going to have to be Remade, because you can't celebrate a white guy with, you know, a quote-unquote skinhead, and then, you know, the brawny man guy who they've tried to... Well, no, we'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
Yeah, we'll get to that.
But let's talk about reparations.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, no, tell me, tell me what Robert Johnson's plan is.
Well, Bob Johnson, Bobby Johnson, is of course the founder of Black Entertainment Television.
He told CNBC, now this was, this was a couple weeks ago, so the number might actually be a lot higher now based on what's happening, but He told CNBC at the beginning of this month that the U.S.
government should provide $14 trillion of reparations for slavery to help reduce racial inequality.
He said that the wealth divide and police brutality against blacks, of course we know, thanks to the tireless work of Heather MacDonald, that there really is no police brutality.
There's just police having to react to black crime all across the country because it's disproportionate.
In the wake of all this, now is the time to, quote, go big, to keep America from dividing into two separate and unequal societies.
Well, you know, I did a little calculation.
$14 trillion divided by the number of blacks in the country.
You know how much that works out to every man, woman, and child who is black?
Well, $40 million divided by $14 trillion.
I'm guessing that's over seven figures, right?
It is about $300,000 for everyone.
$300,000 for everyone.
$300,000.
Okay.
So a household of three would immediately have a net worth of about a million
dollars.
Now, the median net worth of a white household is about $150,000.
So, if Robert Johnson of BET, who is, as you pointed out, a billionaire in his own right, if he has his way, then with a stroke of the pen and with the tremendous impoverishment of the United States government, and who knows what kind of inflation might follow on top of that, then at the stroke of a pen, A flourish signed by President Joe Biden when he's in office, a family of three would have an immediate net worth of a million dollars.
Now, I suspect that net worth would begin to decline as time went by, but maybe I'm just being bad-tempered and bad-spirited about that.
It would be quickly about as valuable as I think you told me you purchased some Zimbabwean dollars.
What's the denomination you have?
It's $10 trillion.
I have a Zimbabwe dollar.
Now, don't laugh.
Don't laugh.
They're doing their best.
They're trying to keep up.
Instead of walking to buy a loaf of bread with a wheelbarrow full of bills, once they got the $10 trillion bills and circulations, all you needed was a backpack full of bills.
So, you know, they were doing their best for their people.
But just as we continue the march of lunacy from coast to coast, in Oakland, Oakland's Mayor Libby Schaaf.
Terribly melanin deprived, this poor girl.
She said that there were five ropes found hanging from trees in a city park.
She said these are nooses, racially charged symbols of terror.
And the police duly searched the area.
This was on Tuesday this week, and they found, sure enough, five ropes attached to trees.
Some of the ropes were knotted, and one appeared to have a piece of plastic pipe attached to a rope.
Now, the police department said that it was conducting a full investigation and had notified the FBI of this terroristic act.
Meanwhile, a fellow named Victor Sengbe, he's black by the way, he told the local TV station that he had put up the ropes.
They were a rigging that he and his friends used as part of a swing and exercise system.
And he actually had videos of he and the comrades using them for exercise and swinging.
But Mayor Libby Schaaf was undaunted.
Intentions don't matter when it comes to terrorizing the public, she said.
And Nicholas Williams, the city's Director of Parks and Recreation, He also agreed with the mayor.
He said the symbolism of the rope hanging in the tree is malicious regardless of intent.
It's evil and it symbolizes hatred, even if it's put up by a black guy strictly for exercise purposes.
Even if there's video of said individuals who are black doing workouts.
You know, that's one of the things that we've seen during this ridiculous COVID-19 lockdown that is just ravaging the country and is going to have disastrous impacts on cities' budgets in the next couple quarters is the fact that gyms are closing.
So people can't go work out as they would in gyms.
So people are going outside and the workout that I've actually seen the video.
It's a CrossFit style workout.
It's a great workout, you know.
People love to do rope climbs and they love to do these kind of acrobatic gymnastics type workouts that are, you know, you do.
From what I understand, you and I have talked about the workouts you do.
You like to do bodyweight exercises because it doesn't put as much stress on your joints.
Well, and you don't have to buy any equipment, you know.
You don't have to buy equipment.
You can have small dumbbells.
But my point is, working out outside is tremendous.
And the fact now that we have reached this hysteria across the country where just a simple rope for calisthenics and outdoor exercise is is viewed as some symbol from the bygone Jim Crow era that immediately must be utilized to castigate all white people as being hateful.
Gotta take it down.
Even if black people put it up, their intentions don't matter.
It terrorizes the community.
But speaking of terrorizing the community, I believe you have gotten some of the lowdown on Rashid Brimage.
Speak to me of Rashid Brimage.
Yeah, I think we're talking... 31 years old?
101 arrests?
There are so many of these videos that are circulating around social media.
I'm surprised they haven't been Colin Flaherty'd out of existence and removed from YouTube.
I guess we can use him as an adjective now in that case to describe what's happened to him and all of his amazing videos of black-on-white crime.
Well, there's one that has gone viral, and I'm sure you've seen it.
It's of a 92-year-old woman, white woman.
Her back is to the camera.
She's walking in New York City.
This black guy kind of walks up to her and pushes her with just a little bit of force, but when you're 92, you don't have much of an equilibrium, and she falls over.
It's a sad video to watch.
Well, it turns out that the black guy who pushed over this 92-year-old white woman has 100 And one, prior arrests.
That's his criminal record.
It's astonishing.
As you said, Rashid Brimage, he was recognized immediately by cops because he's had dozens of run-ins with law enforcement.
That's right.
You know, they put out this video.
It was surveillance camera video.
It really is astonishing.
She is just walking along and he gives her a shove, over she goes, hits her head against a fire hydrant.
And had to be taken to the hospital.
Apparently, she's going to be okay.
And this video was circulated in the hope that somebody would recognize the guy.
All the police recognized.
Oh, yeah, that's Rashid.
Yeah, I've arrested him 101 times.
Yes, well known, well known to the police.
So, he has police sources say his offenses include assault, harassment, resisting arrest, and persistent sexual abuse, including sexual abuse of a 13-year-old.
He's already scheduled to be in court in July for arrest from earlier this year.
You know, this is one of those situations where you wonder, was he Was he let out of jail perhaps because of the COVID-19 situation?
We know that Mayor de Blasio let out a lot of individuals who were in jail because of concerns of getting COVID-19.
We know that they've basically got this no bail situation.
Because blacks are disproportionately impacted by that, so there's basically a revolving door in the judicial system.
And more importantly, we know that the GOP passed the First Step Act.
Was this guy part of that in some capacity?
And as I saw an astute Twitter individual pointed out, maybe the GOP needs to come up with the 101st Step Act when it comes to people like Rashid.
That's very good.
101st.
You know, give a guy a break.
Come on.
101?
I mean, that's not as bad as 201.
Give the guy a break.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me 101 times, hey, shame on you too.
That's right, that's right.
My fault, my fault.
You know, white people are all bad.
So, moving on to Aunt Jemima.
The syrup and pancake mix lady, Quaker Oats, announced just Wednesday, just yesterday, that the company recognizes that Aunt Jemima's origins are based on racial stereotypes.
You know, good cooking, you know, I can't have that.
Another negative, well, it's a racial stereotype, I suppose, but that's no good.
You know how old this brand is?
130 years old.
Are you serious?
I did not know that.
130 years old, Aunt Jemima.
So, you see, anything that old, you know, has got to be racist by definition.
In any case, the company has worked to update the brand over the years.
You know, she used to have kind of a do-rag on, got rid of that, and had to be appropriate and respectful.
But it finally realizes the changes were insufficient.
So, new packaging will begin to appear in the fall of 2020 and a new name.
But the company has not yet announced what it's going to look like, what the name is, and you know, maybe they'll put, I don't know, Ice Cube on it, you know?
Ice Cube brand.
But we'll see.
The company, just as an afterthought, announced it will donate at least $5 million over the next five years, quote, to create meaningful ongoing support and engagement in the black community.
So, you know, they're going to pay tribute as well as change the brand.
Now, just today, I believe it was, the parent company of Uncle Ben's Rice said, now is the right time to evolve the brand.
You see, Uncle Ben's Rice, I guess he was not a credit to his rice.
You know, that's the way the Australians would, not a credit to his rice, you know?
So he's not a credit to his rice, so he's got to go.
And the Mars Company, privately held Mars, you know, they don't even have stockholders to worry about.
But the Mars Company said in release that we know we have a responsibility to take a stand in helping to put an end to racial bias and injustice.
And they can do that by kicking a black man off the cover of their box.
Now that's going to be end racial bias and injustice for sure.
You know, bring up these foods.
There's a company in Atlanta.
I'm not making this up.
You've probably never seen this in convenience stores.
I don't know if it's across the country yet.
But there is this company called Wrap Snacks.
They've got a website you can go to, Rapsnacks.net, and they peddle chips and popcorn with Rapsnacks, and they have famous rappers, R-A-P-P-E-R-S, not rappers, W-R-A-P-P-E-R-S.
But you've got to take a look at this if you've never seen it.
Rapsnacks.
They are hilarious, and I guess they've supplanted Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima.
You can get the Notorious B.I.G.
Honey Jalapeno Chips.
Wow!
You can get Cardi B Honey Drip Butter Popcorn.
You can get... You can get... Who are some other wrappers?
How about Sister Soldier?
She's one of my favorites.
Can you get Sister Soldier's Super Snacks?
Maybe she's out of fashion now.
No, no, you can't get those.
Notorious bigs belly bombers.
But no, back to Uncle Ben.
Uncle Ben has been in use since the 1940s.
So now you're talking about, you know, it's 80 years, 80 years and still going strong.
Well, he's going to peter out now.
After a fellow decided that they were going to name a brand after a Texas farmer referred to as Uncle Ben and who was known for his rice.
Well, you know, all of this demoting of these so-called stereotypes, it just makes me wonder.
I think we ought to mount a campaign against all of these stereotypes of white people.
I mean, the Michelin tire man Look at that.
He's nothing but fat rolls.
Isn't that insulting?
He's pure fat rolls, head to toe.
I thought he was a mummy.
Is he a white man?
Well, he doesn't look black to me.
And then the Pillsbury Doughboy.
He's this flabby, pasty, white thing.
Gosh, I'm just deeply insulted by that.
And Ronald McDonald.
He's a white man.
He's a clown.
Are we all supposed to be clowns?
And you mentioned Mr. Clean.
He's this muscular white guy, but he wears a white shirt.
And he wears white pants.
Is that saying that the product doesn't work for people of color?
Does that not work for... And here you go.
Stains are colored.
And this white force is going to remove the stain.
Now that strikes to me as pure white supremacy.
And you know something else about Mr. Clean?
Have you ever noticed he wears an earring?
He does?
Maybe he's gay.
He's a homosexual pirate.
Well, think about all the cereal that are on the kids aisle that have all these white people happy on them.
One of the things that you learn when it comes to the way that advertising is done, when you walk down an aisle, all of the Eyes look down because they're trying to get kids to look up at the cereal.
I don't know if you knew that trick.
Yeah, they're all looking down so kids can see them.
And all the Cap'n Crunch, you know, was Cap'n Crunch, was he part of the Confederate Army?
Was he a Royal Navy?
Was he a member of the British Empire?
If so, I mean, that's imperilous.
Cap'n Crunch has got to go.
He's based on Raphael Sims, you know, the great Confederate skipper.
But, you know, I understand that you have a story about truckers striking back.
Truckers for sanity.
Truckers for sanity.
Well, this is a fascinating story that you've got to keep your eye on from a supply chain management standpoint, because truckers are saying they won't deliver to cities that defund the police.
This is according to a poll.
So, a new poll suggests that 75% of truckers would fear for their personal safety if police departments were disbanded or defunded.
Website CDL Life.
It's a news web service website for the commercial trucking industry.
They asked drivers if they would deliver to cities that are disbanding, defunding police departments.
And it's actually more than three-fourths.
It's 79% of the respondents said they would refuse loads to such cities.
Truck driving is of course one of the most dangerous jobs.
In the United States, according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, 996 drivers were killed on the job last year.
If memory serves correct, weren't only nine blacks killed by police in 2019?
Nine unarmed blacks.
About 150 blacks all told were killed by police.
But I wonder if this includes traffic accidents, too.
I don't imagine that truckers being hijacked and murdered.
But in any case, it's a dangerous job.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's people killing a job.
That does obviously include, of course, accidents and whatnot.
Again, I'm just putting it in perspective that this is a dangerous job.
They don't want it to be any more dangerous than it has to be.
I mean, look, we've seen the Minneapolis City Council has already come out and said, yeah, you know what?
We vote unanimously to get rid of the police and have these violence mediators, whatever the hell that means.
Pardon my Spanish.
We've got New York City and Los Angeles, they're talking about defunding police.
You know, New York just got rid of their plainclothes officers.
Los Angeles, they're actually refusing to pay overtime.
Today is June 18th, so we'd be remiss if we didn't quickly talk about the fact that in Atlanta last night, you've got a situation where the black DA has decided to do felony murder charges against this white officer who killed this really vile human being who had a horrible Track record when it came to beating his wife and his children You know this DUI incident this Wendy's Well, the Atlanta police and out of solidarity, you know, the Atlanta police are about I think 58% black They in a number of precincts.
They basically didn't take any calls last night and That was in I think four of the six precincts people are terrified in Atlanta You've got a situation where the black mayor has sided with this With this black rapper, Killer Mike, who has written many songs about F the police, screw them, you know, they want to enact all this racial justice.
And you know, Atlanta is a city that's gentrifying rapidly.
The metro area, which used to be all white in all the suburbs up until the 1990s, metro Atlanta now has seen massive Transfer of racial of the population.
They're heavily people of color moving into, you know, Fayette, Clayton, Cobb.
Well, but that's as downtown, the central Atlanta is becoming more white.
Exactly.
And that's the point.
So you've got a situation where you could see this transfer of power, though, you know, Fulton County in the city of Atlanta, the public jobs are overwhelmingly disproportionately held by blacks.
That's a power base.
And so Atlanta is this city where There's such tension, and the fact that the police are finally pushing back.
That's great, that's great.
Now, I wanted to be interested to hear a racial breakout of the people who are pushing back, but our time is rapidly approaching a close, and there's tension in Atlanta, there's tension all across the country, and there will be, I promise you, tension next week when we return.
And so, in the meantime, I'd like you to get in touch with us, if you would, at amran.com, the contact us page, or Well, you can contact me.
BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
So, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
We'll talk to you next week.
