The Shooting Begins

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host PK.
Delighted to have you with me.
Well, to all of our listeners around the world, I know you've been eagerly anticipating this week's edition.
Today is August 26 in the year of our Lord 2020, and just when you think one week can't top the other, Mr. Taylor, I'd say the future is catching up with us pretty quick, is it not?
I'm afraid it is.
And this week's real excitement really took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
And if Kenosha, Wisconsin can go up in flames, just about any place can.
Kenosha, after all, is 67% white, and it is only 11% black.
And yet, after an episode of police-related shooting, the city has gone on an astonishing rampage of looting, arson, Assaults on the police and, as we will find out in just a few minutes, there have been killings.
This is one of the first times things have really gotten out of hand to this extent.
Of course, everything started on Sunday with a shooting of Jacob Blake, an African-American fellow citizen of ours.
Police were called to Mr. Blake's home after they got a 911 call, according to which he had taken somebody's car keys and was refusing to give them back.
It appears to have been an attempted car theft.
At the same time, there was a warrant out for his arrest that had been filed in the circuit court back in July on charges of criminal trespass.
He also has a record of domestic abuse and third degree sexual assault.
No choir boy, this Jacob Blake, as these celebrated victims seldom appear to be choir boys.
Well, there's a lot that's not known about this, but as is so often the case, the public saw a tiny glimpse of it because it was caught on bystander video.
This was just a portion of what happened.
And what we have all seen is Jacob Blake walking around to the driver's side of the car while the police follow him, shouting at them with guns drawn.
He goes into the car, and they try to grab him to keep him doing it, and then he is shot.
Apparently, there are seven rounds fired.
Apparently, what had happened earlier, and this is visible to some degree in a different video that's come out later, he had struggled with the police.
The police had used a stun gun on him, and that hadn't worked.
As a matter of fact, a fellow named Rayshon White, a man who filmed one of the videos, said that he saw police officers wrestle Punch and use a taser on Blake moments before he started the recording.
And then, as he says, he's been quoted by the newspaper, after they punched him in his rib, the female officer tasered him and Jacob kind of leaned on the car and they proceeded to wrestle him back towards the side of the car and he went to the other side.
Then he says, when they were on the other side of the car on the ground, I had to pick up the camera and start recording.
So this is a very, very partial picture of what we know.
Interestingly, and not surprising, Ben Crump, so-called civil rights lawyer, says, and this is one of the problems, we get a partial picture, the police say almost nothing, but some lawyer or some so-called civil rights leader who is representing the person who got shot talks like mad to the media, gives his side.
He says that Blake was there to stop some kind of problem.
He was just ambling over to his car to check on his children after having attempted to break up a domestic dispute.
A lawyer who represents Blake also says he has no criminal record, no criminal charges, no convictions.
Entirely false.
One of the problems is that he was shot in the back and he was trying to get into his car, but one thing that all police officers know, after you've had a very disagreeable, violent encounter with a fellow who's resisting arrest and he heads for his car, there is an excellent chance that there's a weapon in the car and that is undoubtedly while he was shot.
Now, as far as Mr. Blake is concerned, after these seven rounds, I don't know exactly how many hit him, and it's not clear how many officers fired, because several had their weapons drawn.
Apparently, he is on pain medication and isn't lucid, so he can't talk about what happened during the shooting.
The fact of the matter is, I suspect he'll be not much help once he becomes lucid, given the kind of tales that people involved in this sort of thing are likely to get involved in.
However, Mr.
P.K., as you know, the riots that have since exploded in Kenosha over this, once again, this extremely ambiguous situation, one in which it may be that the officers won't end up being charged, or if they're charged, they may be acquitted.
We don't know the full story.
That has not stopped all kinds of officials, including The governor to say that, oh, once again, we have a terrible situation.
A black man has been mercilessly shot down by the police.
We don't know the full situation, but this, the three days of looting that has since followed and the rioting culminated just last night, just on Tuesday night with the fatal shooting of two people and the wounding of another.
Now, Uh, this is again a very fluid and fast moving story.
And if you have details on this that I don't, PK, I would be very happy to hear them.
But what I've heard about this is that a man armed with an assault rifle was telling people not to smash up cars.
This is something that's been happening in Kenosha.
The local people don't like their city being burned.
A semi-assault rifle, Mr. Taylor.
A semi-automatic, I beg your pardon.
Yes, that's correct.
Calling it an assault rifle is incorrect.
I'm sure it was not fully automatic.
Yes, there have been people, we'll get to this later, but there have been people out in considerable numbers protecting property.
They are Kenosha natives.
They are tired of all of this lawlessness.
They are horrified.
They're furious at watching their city burn up.
So he was out telling people not to smash up cars and was then attacked.
And he shot a man in self-defense.
Then he was on the phone to the police saying, look, I shot a guy.
We need some first aid.
He was about to turn himself in when more BLMers saw him, accused him of attacking this guy.
He runs away from them.
He trips and falls.
Some of this is on video, so it's really quite dramatic.
He trips and falls.
They come for him.
He rolls around, shoots one, and the guy appears to die, and he wings another guy.
And then he goes and surrenders, walks hands up towards the authorities.
A 17 year old is now in custody and his name has not been released.
But this is an extraordinary thing.
Police are asking for videos and photos of the incident that may not already be circulating on social media, but a quite extraordinary amount already is.
And one thing about this that is very, very disturbing to me, and I believe that's something we're going to see more of as these riots continue, which I suspect they will.
One local reporter said that that evening there was a group of armed men with long guns standing guard a dry cleaning business with a number of them on the roof.
And the police yelled at them to get down.
But one person said, Officer, this is our business establishment.
And so they stayed there.
The officer said, fine.
And then also before this shooting happened, someone from Kenosha reportedly suggested that the police chief deputize ordinary citizens to help contain the unrest.
Now that would be a real Wild West kind of a thing, but I can understand people wanting that to happen.
But the police chief said, no, they did not do that.
But this was on another article that I saw, a fellow named Josh Benninger.
Age 41 was interviewed by a reporter.
He was wearing a tactical vest.
He had an AK-47.
And he said on Tuesday night that he'd organized a group of some 200 people via Facebook.
I guess he still has an account.
I imagine that's coming down sometimes.
Yes.
To come out and protect the streets of Kenosha.
He says, we're here because we just watched our hometown be terrorized and burnt down the last two days.
This is not going to be Portland.
So this guy is aware of the news.
He is clearly hopping mad and he is out to do something about it.
And there was also a yet another group.
This is a video posted on Twitter of three armed men.
They're standing outside a local business and they say, we're out here trying to protect residents.
We're trying to protect innocent people and we're trying to protect the businesses, the citizens out here.
Uh, and of course the National Guard was deployed to put down this violence in Kenosha.
But, uh, then of course, uh, there is, uh, there's a, there was another, another video, you know, it's remarkable events like this are recorded in a way that was never possible.
Oh, ten years ago, maybe even five years ago.
People all have their cell phones, they've all got them out filming.
You can't find this kind of video.
But here's a guy, there's a car dealership, and people are running around breaking windows.
Just pure vandalism.
Pure vandalism.
Nothing political about it at all.
An armed citizen walks up and he says, get the fuck away from the businesses.
These people rely on this shit to live.
In a way, it's about time people with weapons started reacting that way, because when the police disappear, what are people supposed to do?
This may not have even been his own business, but he is furious.
I feel furious.
I bet, P.K., you feel furious about people running around lawlessness, unpiped.
I mean, Mr. Taylor, we've been watching this now since, my gosh, Memorial Day weekend, and it gets more and more surreal because you ask yourself, is this happening?
And I think I do.
I think I went on record last week.
I do believe Donald Trump is going to be reelected.
And I think this is the type of stuff that You know, most people don't pay attention, as we do, as in-depth, with that microscope, looking at every little story, whether it's, you know, shootings in Chicago, or whether it's this idea of systemic racism being taught in colleges.
But when you see this type of lawlessness, when you see a dealership with all of the cars burnt as if it's a war zone, as if it's something out of a John Milius movie, it's hard to take all of this stuff and just even contextualize it.
I'm sure you feel the same way.
Oh, I'm furious.
I'm furious.
If I were anywhere near that stuff, I would be tempted to go out and shoot those swine down in the street.
As I've told you before, I believe on an earlier podcast, it especially enrages me when I see police cars being put to the torch, or even worse, a police precinct being burnt down.
This is such an outrageous defiance against the force of law and order.
It seems to me that many, many righteous citizens would rise up in legitimate fury and do whatever it took to stop these people.
But one other guy, a fellow named This is just last night in Kenosha.
A fellow named Elijah Schaefer.
He is a blue check Twitter journalist.
He wrote something.
He had a little film and he accompanied it with the following words.
Holy shit!
While interviewing this BLM rioter in Kenosha, he pulls out a pistol and points it at my camera while explaining what he would do to the cops if they rolled up on us right now.
Now, many of these rioters are white.
This guy happens to be black.
But the police have been saying that there have been men with rifles and probably, I would guess, a great many with handguns that are not necessarily visible.
And you know what the police have done to try to keep quiet?
First of all, they have an 8 p.m.
curfew.
They had that in last night.
That didn't work.
No, didn't work.
But the police have shut down gas stations to prevent further incineration.
They don't want gas to be available.
And some protesters have come in with their own gas cans.
Then there've been large caravans of cars, many with their plates covered over, reported to be blocking the streets and keeping the police off.
This is extraordinary.
And the damage so far, as of Tuesday night, and I don't know, I don't know what's happened since, 30 businesses have been destroyed or damaged.
And this again is just an extraordinary act of lawlessness.
The Department of Corrections, the Hooscow, was set ablaze and crews in fact demolished the building Tuesday morning.
Then another poignant story, a story called B&L Furniture, that was absolutely burned to the ground.
And another little coda on the Department of Corrections building, After the ruins were left smoldering, somebody had spray painted on the walls.
Can you hear us now?
Isn't that charming?
But then about B&L Furniture, Linda Carpenter, she wept as she held her son in her arms.
She says, it's just all gone.
She and her family have owned that furniture shop for nearly 40 years.
Before it was reduced to this pile of burning rubble.
It's, it's just, it's outrageous.
And on that very same block, several car dealerships were destroyed.
All the cars burned.
Local businesses busted into, vandalized it.
And you know, this is another, this is another one.
The Danish Brotherhood Lodge.
Has been burned to the ground.
Now, I don't know anything about the Danish Brotherhood Lodge, but maybe that was no coincidence.
You can't have Danish Brotherhood when black lives particularly matter.
Then another another poignant little detail, apparently one guy reported that he was on his porch and protesters are marching down the street, burning and looting.
And he says, and one of the one of the rioters shouts out to him, don't worry, we're not burning houses.
Just businesses.
And so again, this is a 67% white town and 11% black.
Judging from the videos and judging the photographs, it does appear that blacks are overrepresented.
There is a certain amount of colorful diversity, but certainly it seems to me the considerable majority of the people doing this are white people.
We can no longer say, PK, that this is all the work of hopped up minorities.
There are a lot of Crazy, absolutely over-the-edge white people who are in this right up to their neck.
It's a Bolshevik revolution in a lot of places, especially Seattle and Portland, where there is a monochromatic element to these riots, this sedition, this violence that of course is basically endorsed by the new district attorney in Portland.
Who basically said, yeah, we're not going to prosecute.
You know, unless there's clear evidence of terrorism.
I mean, we're going to see this increasingly across the country.
Forgive my ignorance, how far from Milwaukee is Kenosha?
I cannot tell you.
It's just, I mean, Kenosha.
It's right at the edge of the state.
Okay.
So, I don't think it's very nearby.
It's one of these cities that has just been perking along without too much to be upset about.
And I think that is why the people are so angry.
Apparently every year they have maybe a handful of murders.
It's a very peaceful, well-behaved place.
And then all of a sudden it's going up in flames.
And this to me, a symptom of all the white people who have suffered from this BLM mania, this utter insane sickness that has consumed so many white people.
But you mentioned Portland earlier.
You know, on Saturday, this was a little bit, this is the day before the shooting in Kenosha, a quite remarkable thing happened.
There were what the New York Times called right-wing and left-wing groups that clashed in front of the U.S.
courthouse in Portland at 11 in the morning.
And apparently they had started with about 200 protesters.
These are pro-police people.
They were included the Proud Boys, and families who support the police.
Many of them were holding American flags, and some of them were armed.
Tactical vests, semi-automatic rifles, and almost immediately, according to the Times, a similar number of BLMers showed up.
Many of them dressed in all black, carrying shields, paintball guns, and within an hour, they started shouting at each other, and then they were Paintball, exchange of paintball fire, bottles, pepper spray, shoves turned into punches, and then for about three hours, says the New York Times, the two sides were in almost constant conflict.
Fisticuffs, and although there did not appear to be serious injuries, the whole time the police officers watched from a distance and did not intervene.
That's right.
And you know what they said?
You know what they said?
Why the reason they gave?
The Portland Police Bureau said in a news release that It did not declare a riot because it had limited personnel and could not handle the number of protesters and the weapons present.
This is remarkable.
They're saying, hey, too many of those guys out there.
They got weapons.
There were weapons on both sides.
And the police are holding back.
Now, it is extraordinary to me that after all the fisticuffs, bottles, punches, that nobody opened fire.
But one of these days, for sure, People are going to open fire.
And when you've got folks with weapons, firearms on both sides, there could be a real bloodbath one of these days.
So far as I know, what happened in Kenosha, there was no return fire from the BLMers, but a lot of them were walking around with weapons and there could easily be an organized fusillade.
And you know, you'll remember on August 15th, Stone Mountain, that confrontation.
There were the pro-Confederates and the anti-Confederates.
Both sides showed up armed.
They got into fistfights.
And it's, again, a miracle that nobody who just had his nose broken didn't swing his rifle into action and start blazing away at the other side.
Now, maybe it's because, you know, it's kind of a melee and people are all mixed up.
It would be hard to know who your friends and your enemies were.
P.K., I think we are really heading into a very potentially dangerous situation.
You know, I was with Peter Brimlow in January 2017, and we were talking about just how eerie it was going into the inauguration.
He always said, you know, it's going to come to blood.
The government had a chance.
The police had a chance.
The federal government had a chance to put down those violent leftist riots on January 20th, 2017.
They didn't.
Of course, the judge, I think she dismissed, the federal judge dismissed all charges against these people who burnt.
That's right.
There were felony rioting charges against people who were clearly felony rioting.
They burned things, but there was particularly one great big limousine that they set on fire, smashing windows, and they were arrested, and then a judge let them all off.
Yeah.
But if this continues, if this continues, you have to slap these people down hard.
And again, many people, many good law-abiding Americans see this happening.
They are furious, and they're going to take the law into their own hands.
Yeah, and again, I stress to everyone out there, stay away from these riots.
Stay away from this.
Protect your property if you have to, but hey, make sure your insurance is up to date.
It can take care of things, because we know the way that the law comes down.
Think about that kid in, was it Albuquerque?
He was trying to guard that monument that was attacked, and he did this all in self-defense, and one of these Soros-appointed DAs, Michelle Malkin, has made a fantastic Put out a bunch of columns on this situation.
This guy's still being persecuted Legally, you know the left has weaponized the law to go after anybody who dares defend these monuments dares defend their property or as In this case in Kenosha could well prove to be somebody who dares defend their right to exist when they're being threatened It's it's absolutely extraordinary and it is an increasingly worrisome situation and as I recall There was a Trump rally just a few days ago and people took pot shots at them.
Yeah, you know, I saw this on Summit News, so shout out to Paul Joseph Watson for doing fantastic work.
It turns out that a gang of three men fired shots from their vehicle at a group of Trump supporters during a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It occurred Monday, August 24th, in the area of I-77 and Sutton Road during a women's organization event at which children were also present.
The group were holding Trump signs and American flags.
They stated three men drove by.
more than once, making derogatory remarks and yelling obscenities at them from their vehicle.
Quote, the victim said as the vehicle turned from Sutton Road to the ramp, the driver of the vehicle kept yelling, then put his arm out the window while holding what appeared to be a handgun.
WBTV reports this.
So Matthew Ostrowski, who was there, said this.
Quote, all of a sudden, you know, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
This occurs.
I mean, this is insanity.
This is insanity.
Two of the males... So, police were able to track down the individuals who did this.
Two of the males were released without charges, but the driver, 23-year-old Marquis Damarius Assomani, was taken into custody and is being charged with six counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and one count each of unlawful carrying of a pistol.
Pointing it and presenting...
That does not sound like a Mayflower.
No, it's definitely somebody that we learn is our moral better due to the 1619 Project.
But he also has, he also has pinning against him a case of pointing and presenting firearms at a person and possession of a firearm during a violent crime.
Here's what Ostrowski was quoted as saying, quote, it was ridiculous.
There were kids everywhere.
They drove by really slow and saw everybody so they knew exactly who was there.
Quote from Lindsay Portugal, who was one of the rally organizers.
She said, quote, I think it's sad, honestly, that we're showing support for the president and you have to be nervous about somebody coming and doing this.
End quote.
Well, Miss Portugal, that's where we are right now.
When you have a media that has said since, I would say, July of 2015 that Donald Trump is a white supremacist, that Donald Trump is a white nationalist, that anybody who supports him is a racist, that they deserve to be Deperson, deplatform, and dehumanize on a daily basis.
This is where we are as a country.
I think very few people outside of yourself and a select group of others truly understand the revolutionary nature of the situation.
And frankly, it is terrifying.
It is potentially revolutionary, all right.
And this is the kind of sentiment that is reflected in a tweet.
Let me read it to you.
It's by a blue check named Solomon Giorgio, who is one of our dusky brethren, and he said this, Black people have every right to burn down a country they built for free.
Now, this is a sentiment that need not surprise us.
What may surprise you is that it had 174,000 retweets and comments and 703,000 likes.
And let me repeat this sentiment.
Black people have every right to burn down a country they built for free.
And there are 700,000 people on Twitter.
Many people on Twitter, of course, never saw this thing.
It would be interesting to know.
If the entire country were polled, how many people would say, yes, that's great.
But 700,000 on Twitter said yes.
This idea that black people, in effect, single-handedly built the whole thing.
We're living in a stolen house, Mr. Curry.
You and I have not lent a hand.
We have no responsibility in this.
Only black people, no Hispanics, no Asians, only black people built this country so they, if they feel like it, They can burn it down because they built it for free and it belongs to them.
Of course!
Now, I used to mock you for talking about black-run America, but we are certainly edging towards that.
Let me not... I won't call it a cheerful vision of America.
We certainly are edging that way.
No, it's not a cheerful vision of America, especially when you look at the fantastic Great Replacement series that is being published at Amren.com by the incomparable Gregory Hood.
And it clearly shows the racial demographics of these major American cities in 1910.
And you can go back and you can look at the unbelievably beautiful skyscrapers that were built in places like Chicago and New York at a time where these cities had a negligible black population.
And it's infuriating when you hear that because things are changing.
And you know, another thing that's infuriating Is this idea that black people have every right to burn down a country they built for free, the idea that the entire American society is seething with white supremacy and racism, every black person is oppressed every moment of his life,
This brings a kind of arrogance, a kind of in-your-face hostility that is new certainly within the last 20 or 30 years.
I believe you were aware of an incident that took place in Washington D.C.
Diners who were essentially assaulted by, well they were assaulted verbally and in the most rude and insulting way, by a BLM crowd.
You know, these are videos I think, regrettably, are going to become more and more ubiquitous of these groups, especially in areas where there's gentrification, where there are white people encroaching upon areas where black people used to live here.
Well, in Washington, D.C., there's a video that shows Black Lives Matter protesters harassing a white couple at a cafe because, guess what?
They refused to obey by raising their fists like every other diner in, I guess you could call it, what?
In tribute to Black Power, the clip shows an African-American female shouting in close proximity at the couple as other BLM demonstrators film them and give them the middle finger.
They flip them off.
One Roman is repeatedly screeching at them, trash, trash, trash!
Another man screams at them, quote, racist piece of shit!
Sorry, I just spit all over my monitor.
While another accuses them of white supremacy.
I mean, again, these terms are thrown around.
I mean, we're basically, if you're a white person who doesn't Well, I disagree with that, Mr. Taylor, wholeheartedly.
And luckily, so do these two white diners.
My gosh, the educational system is so unfair to black and brown people.
Oh my gosh, my posterity doesn't deserve to live in a country that their ancestors would recognize.
You are a villainous piece of, well, I'll just quote it again,
a racist piece of shit and a white supremacist.
Well, I disagree with that, Mr. Taylor, wholeheartedly, and luckily, so do these two white diners.
The video shows other diners, including a man sat near them wearing a pink shirt,
And they all reflexively raise their fist.
So they aren't subjected to this two minutes hate from this violent mob.
That is what is so appalling.
As appalling as anything else.
As appalling as the arrogance and the hostility of this group that descends on a group of people having dinner in a restaurant.
And having dinner outside because these days you gotta be outside with circulation, not inside, we might give each other diseases.
And they're all ordered to do the Black Power Salute.
And most of them like good quipped puppies.
That's exactly what they do.
Can you imagine going to a black restaurant or a group of black people and saying, look, You people are killing our people at a rate 25 times the rate at which white people kill black people.
This is absolutely reprehensible.
Show some contrition for this.
They wouldn't.
Can you imagine?
I can't imagine any white person doing that anywhere, really.
But no, not to a Russian right now.
Well, I mean, if you did that, do you think they'd say, oh gosh, we're so sorry.
We're so bad.
No, they'd probably beat you to a pulp.
But these white people, that is what is so disgusting about it.
White people do as they're told.
It's like those horrifying videos that we posted in one of the videos that I made.
These short clips of men and women kissing the boots of black people in public because they feel guilty.
So, all these white people, they're minding their own business, they're having a nice meal, and a bunch of blacks come by with a bullhorn and say, in effect, kiss our boots.
And that's what they do.
Oh, it's just disgusting.
Yeah, one of the things that happened, I'm not sure if you remember, during this whole early stages of the George Floyd insanity, Which I know we're going to get to some of the toxicology reports here in a few minutes, but I'm not sure if you recall the video of Dan Cathy, current president of Chick-fil-A.
He got on his knees and groveled and promised to give, I think, five million dollars to a Black Lives Matter affiliated organization, and he washed the shoes.
I guess that has some sort of Christian symbology.
Symbolism.
Symbology.
Didn't he wash the bare feet?
I think he washed their feet.
They take off their shoes.
I think he may have because it has something to do obviously with Christ and washing.
Oh yes, yes.
Well, he wasn't the only one.
There were police officers that washed the feet of black people.
There was a police officer in particular.
I remember seeing a video of him.
I forget what.
I think it was someplace in North Carolina.
He laid down on his stomach on the concrete with his hands behind his back Pretending to be handcuffed, he lay there for nine minutes.
Well, everybody said, okay, this is our tribute to George Floyd, the martyred George Floyd, the martyred George Floyd, about whom we've just learned some yet more information.
And that is, this is a note of a conversation that took place about the toxicology report.
And this has just Surfaced, and you will not see any reference to it anywhere in the mainstream media.
I hunted around for it.
It is being referred to only in the dissonant press, places like us, VDR, Summit News, and it's a conversation between the DA's office of Hennepin County with Dr. Andrew Baker, who is the Hennepin County, that's where Minneapolis is located, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
This guy, the medical examiner, he wanted to concentrate strictly on the toxicology report.
Well, the whole report, the autopsy.
And he noted that within the blood was fentanyl of 11 nanograms per milliliter.
He said that even under normal circumstances, this is a potentially fatal level of fentanyl.
He also notes that Floyd's lungs were two to three times the normal weight at autopsy.
Probably because of fluid, making him even more likely to suffer some kind of terrible health collapse.
He also had meth in his system, which Dr. Andrew Baker said is, quote, a stimulant hard on the heart.
He died of a heart attack, by the way.
And then, and this is the key line, Dr. Andrew Baker, Hennepin County Medical Examiner, he concluded that if George Floyd had been found dead in his home, Or any other place.
And there was no sign of foul play, no obvious injury of any kind.
On the basis of that medical report alone, he would conclude that this was a death from an overdose.
Now, this is a relevant piece of information.
But it seems to have been leaked almost.
This is not something that has been circulated in any publicized way, but this is typical.
It's exactly what happened in Kenosha.
People see one tiny aspect of the situation.
They don't get the full picture.
But that is because governments in the United States, police departments, prosecutors, they are not set up to release this stuff in a bunch all of a sudden.
We have set procedures for this and the procedures are that this stuff first of all goes to the Grand Jury.
The Grand Jury looks it over.
Grand Jury proceedings are secret.
So very frequently this kind of information goes to the Grand Jury.
The Grand Jury then decides whether to indict or not.
Well, this obviously didn't happen in the case of George Floyd.
And then, if there is an indictment, then this kind of information, these toxicology reports, the conversations about it, the likelihood that there's a drug overdose, all of this comes out in due course in the trial, if there is an indictment.
That is the way the system that white people set up is supposed to work.
But it doesn't happen that way.
Some tiny bit of provocative evidence gets out.
Nobody waits for the investigation.
Nobody waits for the trial.
They immediately assume, including the Democratic candidates for president and vice president, that we have a murder on our hands.
And everybody goes wild.
If the police, if the police have any sense at all, and I suspect probably their hands are tired, tied because of procedural matters, but the police have to get their story out right away if they are not going to go into this absolutely repetitive and horrifying cycle of On the basis of some provocative and completely incomplete version of what happened, everybody goes crazy because we no longer have a system, we no longer have a country that abides by the Anglo-Saxon rules of criminal procedure.
You know, one of the departments that did exactly what you just said, and they did get ahead of a story, and they did change the narrative completely, was the Chicago PD during the whole Jussie Smollett case.
They were the ones who, they started leaking things regarding their suspicions of the case, the Nigerian brothers, the whole noose, the hat, and all the correspondence.
So that's one of the situations where you go back to, it feels like a lifetime ago, but you go back to the first quarter of 2019 and you realize, holy cow, You know, there are departments out there, there are people who understand what's happening, and just to, you know, obviously, you know, police should be doing more, you know, with what's happening across the country.
I know what you found out when you went to Richmond, and they said that they were told to stand down.
In a lot of cases, I think cops should just walk off their job, and they should go find a job in a suburban area, where the only thing they're doing is chasing down white teenagers for underage drinking or driving too fast when they get their license.
However, I will say this, in Chicago, you know, I think the only police department that actually tried to defend a monument was when the Chicago police tried to defend the Columbus monument that unfortunately was taken down by Mayor Lightfoot, but it was good to see, you know, taxpayer-funded cops actually trying to defend private property.
Well, you see, it was the case also, remember that black guy who was shot in the back while he was running away?
This was in Atlanta.
Yes.
That's right.
Now, what the police did very quickly was to get the officer camera video out.
Now, they didn't do it quite soon enough.
There was rioting, they burnt the Wendy's down, but at least they got that stuff out quickly.
Now, you say that in Chicago, this information was leaked.
Well, it probably was leaked.
And, as I recall, Jesse Smollett's lawyers complained about this.
How dare you get all that stuff out?
All of the phony baloney stuff, these so-called civil rights lawyers, they can run their mouths all they like, paint a picture of complete misconduct, and the police are supposed to say, well, gosh, no, no, we ain't gonna say a thing, we ain't gonna say a thing until the trial.
This is, as I say, the whole procedure breaks down.
There are reasons for this.
You don't want the information to come out piecemeal.
You don't want information to prejudice a potential juror.
And so there are procedures in place to make it happen, but those procedures do not work.
They are counterproductive in a population that does not abide by the ordinary rules of the game.
Anyway, this is all signs of trouble ahead.
And back to Portland, one of our favorite little cities here.
This was an event from Thursday evening.
I think this is a significant one.
And it had to do with protesters.
They're marching along late at night.
And they're marching through streets, residential streets.
And they're screaming, y'all never gonna sleep because of me.
I ain't never gonna sleep because of you.
Wake up, wake up, motherfucker, wake up.
Now, they're marching through a white neighborhood.
And obviously they are saying, motherfucker, wake up, Whitey.
We're not going to let you sleep.
We're not going to let you sleep until we've got what we think is justice.
And, uh, you know, a guy was leaning on his horn, making all this happen, making all this noise, waking people up, keeping them awake.
Well, you know, PK, they are literally waking up.
I'm glad to, I'm glad to see him do it.
I'm glad to see them doing it.
Keep it up, boys.
You're just driving more and more people into our arms.
This is the way they think.
They are going to get more and more surprises of the kind that they got in Kenosha.
But I believe you were going to tell us about Mark McCloskey and Nick Sandman, the, what were in some respects, the everyman stars of the Republican National Convention.
Yeah, you know, this is something that I thought would happen.
Again, I don't watch much network TV.
The only TV that I'll watch is streaming.
on Netflix or Amazon Prime, so I don't see what's going on with political ads.
So I thought the best thing that President Trump could do would be to wrap himself in the flag, obviously the American flag, which we're seeing these Black Lives Matter anti-terrorist burn, and also to embrace the McCluskey's out of St.
Louis.
And that happened.
You know, they spoke and they warned people that if the Democrats win, they will enable the mob.
Quote, the McCluskey's...
Remind us first what they are.
I am jumping to a conclusion here.
Never assume anything.
That's one of my number one rules.
The McCluskeys were the white family who lived in this beautiful ornate home in St.
Louis.
And it's on private property.
This fence was busted open.
The mob came marching.
They claimed that they were harassed and they were threatened to have violence and property damage done to this beautiful home.
Mark McCluskey pulled out what looks like a semi-automatic AR-15 and his wife pulled out, it looks like a Walther, some sort of, you know, a 9mm perhaps?
I'm not even sure it's ever been identified.
But, you know, they're protecting their home.
And, you know, they're very affluent trial lawyers.
He was dressed Hilariously in a pair of khaki slacks and I think a pink Brooks Brothers shirt.
So it was kind of a, it was kind of a bougie.
I think that's a word the kids use these days.
You know, they're a bourgeois couple protecting their house from this rabble, from this mob.
And on the day it happened, I remember thinking, this is it.
This is the start of the pushback.
And thankfully, President Trump and the RNC were smart enough to invite them.
You know, they defended their home from a trespassing mob with their legally owned firearms.
They warned that if Democrats come to power, they're going to enable criminality and the destruction of American suburban life, which, Mr. Taylor, we all know is a dog whistle for white people and the life white people create in the absence of non-whites.
So in the keynote speech at the second night of the RNC, now Mr. Taylor, think about that.
The keynote speech.
Patricia Mark McCluskey spoke of the recent incident, and they warned that it will be commonplace if Joe Biden manages to become president.
Now, I want to deviate real quick, Mr. Taylor, and unfortunately say, it's actually commonplace with President Trump as president, is it not?
That's right.
That's the problem.
That's the problem.
You know, you hear people saying, well, we've got to vote for President Trump because he'll stop the rioting.
He hasn't stopped the rioting at all.
I think another argument would be, The rioters are rioting because he's there.
And as soon as he's gone, Joe Biden, dear, delightful Joe Biden, will be able to call off the hound.
That is one argument you could make.
But anyway, I didn't mean, well, I did interrupt.
Oh, no, you didn't interrupt.
I just wanted to point out that, again, the incongruity with that statement.
It's happening because President Trump isn't just stopping it like he should.
So here's what Miss McCluskey said.
Patricia, quote, what you saw happen to us could just as easily happen to any of you who are watching from quiet neighborhoods around our country.
Of course, Mr. Taylor, what that is a reference to, you and I understand pattern recognition and have power of discernment.
She's talking about white neighborhoods, is she not?
I suspect she is, and let's hope she's conscious of things.
Here's what Mark said, quote, whether it's defunding the police, ending cash bail so criminals can be released back on the streets the same day to riot again, or encouraging anarchy on our streets, it seems as if Democrats no longer view the government's job as protecting honest citizens from criminals, but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens, end quote.
One more quote, then I want to bring up a point here.
Quote, Not a single person in the out-of-control mob you saw at
our house was charged with a crime, but you know who was?
We were.
Mark McCluskey said, adding, Quote,
They've actually charged us with a felony for daring to defend our home.
On top of that, consider this.
The liberal activists leading a mob to our neighborhood stood outside of our home with a bull horde, screaming,
You can't stop the revolution.
Just weeks later, the same activists won the Democrat nomination to hold a seat in the U.S. House of
Representatives.
The radicals are not content just marching in the streets.
They want to walk the halls of Congress.
They want power.
This is Joe Biden's party.
These are the people who will be in charge.
End quote.
Now, Mr. Taylor, my question to you is, This whole stuff about ending cash bail, defunding the
police, releasing criminals back on the streets, Wasn't that one of President Trump's signature pieces of
legislation, the First Step Act, which, uh, His son-in-law Jared Kushner and Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
have bragged about how this is so great for empowering the black community.
And don't you know who voted for the 1994 Crime Act?
It was Joe Biden!
That's right.
Makes Joe Biden sound like the law and order guy.
Well, speaking of this kind of no bail, let him back out on the street, that does mean that I do have to talk about the lunatic Crime policies in one of the cities that we watch with a beady eye, and that is Chicago.
Because as it turns out, the number of criminal defendants freed on bail in order to wear electronic monitoring bracelets has soared in Cook County, which contains Chicago, including, and this is the breathtaking statistic, more than a thousand people charged with murder, robbery, or illegal possession of guns.
Now the police, Lieutenant David Brown, One of our Afro-American fellow citizens who is one of the few people in that city to seem to have any gumption at all.
He says, many of those being set free on electronic monitoring are responsible for the 50% rise in killings this year in Chicago.
Doesn't that seem not normal?
Yes, I should think so.
On August 9th, 43 people facing murder charges were in the county's electronic monitoring program out there prancing around.
It's not as though to say this never happened before.
That is 40% more than on the same day last year.
So it's not as though this is completely unprecedented that people charged with murder are out with electronic monitoring.
I was a little bit surprised to hear that that ever happened.
But also in the program were 160 people charged with robbery and about a thousand charged with illegal gun possession.
Twice as many as there were for those crimes August 9th in 2019, a year ago.
The Chicago Police Department has explained that Cook County, the judge's high use of electronic monitoring as a key factor in the city's rise in killings.
And this is Police Superintendent David Brown, black and the only guy speaking since, in this article, after the 4th of July weekend when a 7-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy were among the 17 people shot to death in his city.
He says, my hope Is that the deaths of these young people will not be in vain and will prick the hearts of the decision makers who release violent offenders on electronic monitoring back into these very communities.
He thinks Black Lives Matter, all right?
Now, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Fox, yet another African American.
She is among the county officials who deny that this has anything to do with anything, being freed on bail or being monitored electronically.
She doesn't think they're responsible for the Chicago rise in violent crime.
She blames the police.
You guys aren't doing your jobs.
Now, of course, the number of people released on monitoring has risen this year also because of coronavirus.
So what we have is 3,330 people now in the county's electronic monitoring program, up from 2,200 last year.
That's about a 60-70% increase.
And 5,000 others are charged with crimes awaiting trial being held in the Cook County Jail, which has the capacity to hold twice as many people.
That means they could take all 3,330 of these people and put them in the Cook County Jail.
There's room for them.
Now, this, again, is an astonishing statistic.
In 2016-2017, the most common charge being faced by suspects on electronic monitoring was drug possession.
You know what it is now?
Now, it's illegal gun possession.
Hard to plead down to that from something else.
I mean, geez.
Yes, yes.
And these are the guys who are walking around, and lo and behold, killings have gone up.
Now, here's another.
Here's another, another African American, certainly on the wrong side of good sense, Chief Cook County Judge Timothy Evans.
He's one of the ones who decides how much bail should be charged.
And he says, you know, you got, you got to be reasonable.
You got to charge bail in an amount that they can afford.
She says, he says, sorry, We must balance the right of the defendant to be presumed innocent with any evidence that the defendant would pose a real and present threat to the physical safety of any person.
Well, I think if we are balancing this, he's got his thumb on one side of the scale in a way that is completely idiotic.
But yes, here you have people who are putting people out on practically no bail, And this revolving door, putting them on electronic monitoring instead of putting them in the pokey.
And lo and behold, violent crime goes up.
But the judge and the prosecutor are telling us, gosh, it must be the price of eggs in China.
Must be sunspots.
That's what's causing it all.
But let's see.
Oh, I want to tell you a little story about Sumter, South Carolina.
I don't believe it is a place I have ever visited.
But a 29-year-old black woman by the name of Sabrina Belcher.
She wanted to be Sumter's first black female mayor.
And she really got creative in her politics.
She staged a kidnapping and a beating in order to get the sympathy vote.
And she streamed this live on Facebook.
And you're not allowed on Facebook, are you?
No, no, not I. Not I. Apparently, this little clip was taken down, but I don't know if her account still lives.
I suspect that it does.
In any case, yes, I saw some of the clips.
It's quite amazing.
She is screaming and their arms beating her.
You don't see the face of the person doing the job.
She's screaming.
She's screaming.
And as it turns out, her pal, 34-year-old Christopher James Eddy, Had been hired to be the straight man on this and be the person who made it all look authentic.
Her clothes are being torn off of her and she's lying on her back and screaming and waving her fists.
She figured she'd get the sympathy vote, but it looks like she's been charged with filing a False police report.
So, sometimes these dirty politics don't turn out the way they should.
But, you know, you have to really, you have to give her credit for certain matters.
I'll let you give her the credit.
I will just sit back and be incredulous as to what she thought when she was live streaming.
Yes, live streaming this thing.
Yes, there's credit and then there is credulity.
Yes, I give her the credit, but she lost credibility.
Now, there's a little item.
We skip over the business of crime just for a moment, and let's talk about COVID.
We haven't talked about COVID much these days.
Now, there has been a joint research project by the Associated Press and the Marshall Project, and they've determined that during the first seven months of 2020, there appeared to have been about 215,000 excess deaths.
They figure, in other words, what you do is you take the average of the number of people who have died during that seven-month period, because there are people dying all the time every year, and then you figure out how many more deaths than usual happened, and they have decided to attribute all of these to COVID, and that's 215,000.
Now, what they have done is calculate the number of deaths we would expect for every racial group And then compare that to the number of excess deaths we got.
Now, the racial breakdowns of the deaths by COVID are not 100% complete, but they seem to think they've got a pretty solid handle on it.
Whites, who are 60% of the population, they accounted for out of these 215,000 deaths, 119,000.
215,000 deaths, 119,000.
But that is only a 9% increase over the usual death rate.
Blacks accounted for 60,000 deaths, because they're only 12% of the population.
They are an increase over the usual death rate of 31%.
Extraordinary number.
Yes, as opposed to 9%.
However, Hispanics, it's an increase of 44%.
It's even greater for them.
Even greater.
And this was a surprise to me.
Asians have generally been suffering from this at a lower rate was my impression, but the calculations by the Associated Press and Marshall Project Is that Asians, they are 6% of the population accounted for 13,000 deaths.
So that is 35% more than they would have expected under the current circumstances.
So they are 35% and American Indians up 22%.
Interesting that their figures are lower than Hispanics, lower than blacks.
Lower than Asians.
I mean, American Indians are usually the ones who are thought to be the most persecuted, no access to medicine, etc, etc.
So let me just go over this again.
Whites had excess deaths of 9%, it's thought, due to COVID.
Blacks, excess deaths of 31%.
Hispanics, 44%.
Asians, 35%.
And American Indians, 22%.
Hispanics 44%, Asians 35%, and American Indians 22%.
And as Olugbenga Aichor, a senior economist at the Center for American Progress,
says, the toll of the pandemic shows just how pervasive structural racism is.
Structural racism is doing it all.
Now, it's interesting to me because Asians, by almost every index, whether it's infant mortality or women dying at childbirth, Per capita income, admissions to Harvard, IQ scores, grades in school, SAT scores, all by all these measures Asians do better.
But as soon as we get any figure that suggests that they're not doing as well as whites, how pervasive is structure?
I had no idea the coronavirus was I wasn't colorblind.
I didn't realize that this virus was so amorphous that it was able to just go after areas where structural inequality and implicit bias are found.
Well, but you know, the virus is colorblind.
It is, I know.
It is structural racism.
It is structural racism that has permitted the virus to attack the marginalized and the vulnerable and excluded and the downtrodden.
I'll bring up a quick anecdote so we can move on, but there was a USA Today story that attacked segregated playgrounds across the country for the reason why the coronavirus isn't impacting white people more, because I guess somehow where children play is a reason why the coronavirus is impacting those numbers you just pointed out, the black and brown and Asian communities, so drastically different than it is the white community.
Huh.
Well, does that mean we absolutely have to integrate at top speed so that white people will be infected just the same way?
I think that's the ultimate thrust of these stories, is that white people aren't dying at a rate that is necessary due to the COVID.
That's the ultimate takeaway from these stories that you see.
Yep, that sure is.
That sure is.
There are not enough white people dying.
Now, I do have a sad story.
We have many sad stories, but this is the fact that Vincent James, He is the head of the organization called Red Elephants.
He has been on YouTube for certainly as long as I was.
He had a wonderful YouTube channel.
He's one of the most sensible and even-handed YouTubers on all the subjects that make a difference to us and to our listeners.
His YouTube channel was finally banned.
He had, as I recall, close to 300,000 subscribers.
This is despite the fact that for a long time, YouTube had treated him just the way they treated us.
Shuffled his videos absolutely to the bottom of the deck when it came to suggestions.
He had a loyal and enthusiastic following.
Bam!
Gone.
Now, he had three different channels and for various purposes all were under different email addresses but YouTube sussed them all out and abolished every single one of them.
One was a channel that he put together for his children.
Doesn't matter.
That had to go too.
So, all of you listeners out there, if you like videos, then please go to Bitshoot and look for Vincent James, Red Elephants, only after you've looked for American Renaissance Jared Taylor.
No, I'm kidding.
Vincent James is really, he's a very reasonable, on-the-ball guy, and you really owe him Yeah, definitely do that.
I'll say this also.
BitChute search engine is kind of difficult to use, so hopefully if anybody from BitChute is listening, you guys can fix that.
Big breaking news real quick, though.
The Milwaukee Bucks, the National Basketball Association franchise from Milwaukee, they decided to boycott the game, the playoff game today, in honor of the black guy who got shot in Kenosha.
Well, the breaking news is that all NBA playoff games, Mr. Taylor, have been postponed.
I know how upsetting that's going to make you.
That you're going to miss out on watching some basketball action tonight?
Well, wait.
The obvious thing to do, if one of the teams is going to refuse to play, doesn't the other team win by default?
The other team would win by default, but the entire league has decided to postpone games.
Now, wouldn't it be great if one of the teams had enough gumption to say, oh, you guys not playing?
Hey, we're prepared to play.
I guess this was a union.
This is probably a union thing.
They probably had some sort of vote real quick.
And I mean, again, this is, this is where, again, turn off pro sports people, just don't watch it.
Insanity.
Yes.
Well, anyway, our time has dribbled out.
The last sands of this episode have trickled to the bottom of the hourglass.
So PK, it is a delight always to be with you and a delight always to be with our listeners and ladies and gentlemen wherever you are around the world.
We look forward to speaking again with you next week.
