Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey.
It is an honor and a joy to be speaking with you this week, and as always, it's been a very, very interesting and active week for those of us who pay attention to the sorts of things that we pay attention to.
But I'd like to start with one of the somewhat less dramatic but I think nevertheless significant stories of the week and that is the lawsuit by 52 former franchisees of McDonald's.
They are suing the company who say that they faced decades of discrimination.
Now it's difficult to me to imagine that any major corporation would be involved in decades of racial discrimination against blacks but they claim in their words systematic And covert racial discrimination.
Covert racial discrimination.
That's the worst kind.
That's the worst kind.
Systematic but covert.
For a company that has the tagline 365 Black, I think they still have a website, 365 Black, that's McDonald's.
Hard to say that's covert racism there.
Well, that's overt anti-racism, but covert racism, which is far worse.
The lawsuit argues that it systematically steered black franchisees to buy locations in black neighborhoods.
Now, why is that a bad thing?
That is a bad thing because these locations tend to have higher insurance and security costs.
I can't imagine why.
And they bring in less revenue.
Now, one of the franchisees said in the complaint that blacks were at such a significant disadvantage that acquiring a McDonald's location as a black franchisee was, quote, a financial suicide mission.
They're steering them in these terrible places.
Now, quoting Juneth Daniel, I suppose that's a woman's name, one of the former franchisees suing McDonald's says, The locations had serious problems with having to be staffed if they weren't being robbed.
That is a commentary, isn't it?
Unspoken here are certain pattern recognition problems with black neighborhoods.
No, how can it be that staffing problem?
Aren't black people just clamoring for entry-level jobs?
I guess they had problems staffing them when they weren't being robbed.
The franchisees say they lost more than 200 McDonald's locations over the past decade because of misconduct by the company.
Now, it is true that the number of black franchisees has declined, but the franchisees have declined across the board.
And the percentage decline of blacks is only slightly greater than the other ones.
And one of the things they complained about, which I thought was particularly interesting, was strict inspections.
Strict inspections.
That's right.
They want to make sure that the location is up to snuff.
This was apparently, I suppose they have discovered internal memos that have told inspectors, you know, when you find a black franchisee, be particularly and especially strict.
We want to make things terrible for them.
Of course, the purpose of these inspections is to make sure that everybody's up to snuff and so that the franchisee is really offering the product that people expect.
But no, that was one of the things that they persecuted blacks with.
What?
And the experience.
You know, you go to a fast food place, you know, you notice right away if the manager, if the general manager, or if the proprietor.
Case in point, Chick-fil-A.
Real quick, Chick-fil-A used to have a rule where you can only have one, you can only own one franchise.
You had to put all of your investment, all of that time, all that effort in only one place.
So you owned that establishment.
You had to be part of the community.
And that was their business model.
We're going to reach out.
You're going to be part of the community.
These McDonald's are going up there.
Let's be honest.
They have a monochromatic customer base, largely, as noted, blacks who, well, have a lot of security costs built into that.
Those locations, high security, a high shrinkage, as they say.
Some of the hamburgers disappear off the skid, I'm sure.
But fortunately, McDonald's is going to fight this.
CEO Chris Kempzinski says, based on our review, we disagree and we will strongly defend against this lawsuit.
Let's hope they fight absolutely tooth and nail and drag these people through the courts and prevail.
Also, this is something else he said, this is very good.
We've probably, McDonald's has created more millionaires within the black community than probably any other corporation on the planet.
That's hard.
That's easily true.
Easy to believe.
Then also, let us not forget that in the wake of the George Floyd riots, the company donated $1 million to the National Urban League, the NAACP.
But there it is, that overt anti-racism, but covert and far more deadly racism.
It's also a reminder that even though they made more black millionaires than any other corporation in the country, perhaps the planet, that's what it's never enough.
No, no, never enough.
Nope.
Nope.
It's never enough.
But, uh, uh, speaking of never enough, while we are got the white man in our crosshairs and New Jersey has come through with an intriguing way to keep us in our place in the back of the bus.
Well, a lot of states are beginning to debate about passing similar legislation.
Michigan was one that I read about in June.
Well, New Jersey went ahead and said, let's go and do it.
The New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy signed a law Monday.
It's now a crime to call 911 for the purpose of intimidating someone because of race, ethnicity, religion, or gender.
How about sexual orientation?
That's not part of that yet.
I don't see that.
I'd be mighty angry about that.
Perhaps I guess on a phone call you can't make that, Mr. Taylor.
You can't say, hmm, looks like a homosexual.
The way that they're opening that door, that might be a homosexual risk move there.
Right there I'm already engaging in stereotypes.
So, the law amends an existing law.
Which makes it a crime to falsely incriminate someone else or file a false police report as a form of bias intimidation, which is according to a statement from the governor's website.
He said this, quote, Now, you should ask yourself then, well, wait a second.
What about the converse?
Well, that's right.
That's right.
Is it okay to call 911 on a white person if you're a person of color?
Is that harassment?
acceptable, abhorrent form of discrimination."
Now you should ask yourself then, well wait a second, what about the converse?
Well that's right, that's right.
Is it okay to call 911 on a white person if you're a person of color?
Is that harassment?
Nope, clearly not.
He then said this, quote, this irresponsible misuse of our 9-1-1 system places victims in a potentially dangerous situation and can erode trust between black and brown New Jerseyans and law enforcement.
Individuals who choose to weaponize this form of intimidation should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
Violators of the law face up to how many years in prison do you think?
Three?
Five years in prison and fines up to $15,000.
Let me pronounce a word of potential comfort and dissent.
My prediction is this.
No one will be ever convicted under this law.
And the reason is you have to prove motivation.
If someone is genuinely terrified and puts in a call and it later turns out that the person who was attacking or the person who was stealing turns out to be innocent, I think you would definitely have to prove in order to get a conviction that this person had a particular state of mind.
That's very, very hard to prove.
So we'll see.
But the very idea, of course, is that white people are running around all around the country, you know, doing this, you know, threatening or doing it because somebody is black or Hispanic.
That is the aspect of this that I find disgusting and in some respects terrifying, but I suspect the actual law will probably not result in many convictions.
Yeah, and just one quote from Democratic New Jersey State Senator Shirley Turner.
She said this, quote, We have seen time and time again the immense physical and emotional impact of weaponizing the police against black and brown individuals.
No one should fear having the police called on them simply because they are walking their dog, barbecuing with friends, or asking a fellow New Jerseyan or New Yorker to follow the law, end quote.
Well, I agree with that.
I agree with that.
But the assumption that... Anyway, all the assumptions behind this are so crazy.
You know, I would like to see, I would like to see a law that makes it a particularly penalty-intensive crime to file a phony hate crime charge.
I don't know of any state in the country that makes any additional penalty for doing that.
Simply filing a false police report.
Exactly.
Which is in effect what this is.
But that to me is something that we know happens over and over and over.
Well, because as you note, the implications of this bill is that simply doing that, it's a hate crime.
That's basically what this is saying, what you just noted.
And as we know, I mean, how many hate hoaxes have there been in 2020?
You lose count of them.
I mean, look at the way that I'm not sure if we're going to talk about him again, but look at the way that the media is trying to portray the, is it Jay Danielson, Aaron Danielson in Portland?
They just, they casually say, Oh, he's part of the Patriot Prayer Group, that white supremacist group, the white nationalists.
Yes, I plan to say a few words about him.
But anyway, yes, New Jerseyites, watch out, watch out.
You know, if somebody's just walking his dog, don't call 911.
Okay.
Now, from New Jersey to Chicago.
Over the weekend, 55 people were shot.
That's a lot of people.
10 fatally.
That amounts to an 18% kill rate.
Last weekend, 66 people were shot.
That's a lot of people shot.
But only 5 fatally.
That's 7.5% kill rate.
I guess their aim is improving.
Or it may be that they're just firing a lot more rounds.
I was talking to a friend who is a police officer, active duty police officer, and he said blacks love these extended magazines for pistols.
You get yourself a standard size Glock with a 30-round extended magazine.
He says you only find these in the possession of black criminals.
Really?
Yes.
Like a Glock 17 or Glock 18 extended?
Right, right.
He says they somehow love this.
You know, I'm always intrigued by these accounts of shootings.
You know, 55 shots, 66 shots.
How come they never get into how many people were run over, whacked to death by bats in clubs, stabbed, strangled?
You know, they never go into that, you know.
But I suppose the idea is we're blaming guns.
The guns went off and that was a problem.
In any case, last weekend of this 55 shot, two were Chicago police officers.
They were shot when there was a traffic stop.
They saw a gun in the back seat.
They broke the window to get it and take it over.
The guy managed to get the gun and shot both of them.
One got shot twice in the left side.
He underwent surgery, very serious.
The other guy got shot in the left shoulder.
And this is something that particularly caught my eye in this most recent story.
Chicago PD Superintendent David Brown, he says this, I think 51 officers being shot at or shot in one year, I think that quadruples any previous year in Chicago's history.
Quadruple!
51 officers being shot or shot at.
That is four times as many in Chicago's history in a single year, and there's still one third of the year left.
It's only September 2nd, 2020.
Yes, and this happened at the end of August.
One third of the year left and they've already got four times as many police who have stopped bullets or been shot at.
This is extraordinary.
But this is what's happening all around the country.
The NYPD, of course, has shifted around funds that will give street cops more overtime Through the Labor Day weekend.
Labor Day weekend is a particularly frisky weekend all across the country and the cops will be out in force because the NYPD is struggling to, guess what, curb the spike in shootings.
Now, in the last 13 weeks, there have been nearly 375 more shootings and 499 more victims compared to last year.
Now, what happened 13 weeks ago?
What would have caused this, I wonder?
You know, there must have been something extraordinary that happened approximately 13 weeks ago, but 375 more shootings and 500 more victims?
Wow!
In any case, Sunday, just this last Sunday, marked another grim milestone with more than 1,000 shootings reported with four months left in the year.
Yes, last time New York City recorded more than 1,000 incidents of gunplay in a whole year was 2015.
And once again, We've got four months left.
I think there are going to be some local records set.
You said something about frisky across the country on Labor Day weekend.
That's fascinating.
Mr. Taylor, I normally would never correct you.
You've got that amazing Yale heritage, but it's only frisky in the areas where those Proprietors of the McDonald's franchises were upset about being placed in.
It's not exactly... You're correct.
You're correct.
There are certain very frisky parts of the country.
And this Labor Day weekend is likely to be no exception.
And moving on to the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., the D.C.
Metropolitan Police Department arrested a total of 27 over the course of a chaotic four-day period, which began Thursday.
As protesters grew violent after President Trump broadcast his acceptance of the renomination.
And 15 police department officers sustained injuries.
And what was most significant to me, I mean, I hate it whenever a police officer is injured.
That breaks my heart.
And anybody who attacks a police officer, those guys need to be actually locked up, charged.
And it doesn't bother me too much if the police don't use kid gloves on them.
People were lying in wait to harass and mob and torment people coming out of the White House.
I'm sure you saw the video of Senator Rand Paul coming out, and if he had not had a police guard, it looked like that mob would have grabbed him, knocked him down, who knows, maybe beaten him to death.
The video of Rand Paul and his wife.
That's the thing.
He's with his wife.
Remember, think about all that Rand Paul has had happen to him since Donald Trump's election.
He was there at the baseball field when they were practicing when Steve Scalise, the representative
from Louisiana, was shot.
Luckily, the Bernie bro who did the shooting wasn't that great of a shot.
He was like one of these brothers in Chicago, I guess you could say.
Rand Paul survived that.
Rand Paul was attacked by his neighbor as he was mowing the lawn.
I didn't remember that.
He had a lung.
He lost a lung in that attack.
It was a deranged leftist.
He got COVID.
He got the China virus, Mr. Taylor.
I don't think he got that for political reasons.
I know.
I'm joking.
That's a joke.
But I'm just saying, now he has to leave this event with his wife.
You watch the video.
It is, it is harrowing.
It's chilling.
He's surrounded by what looks like a very tight knot of police, and they are pushing police officers into him, and then another one.
There was a man and his wife.
I didn't recognize this couple.
They're leaving the White House, and All the way back to their hotel.
They are surrounded by screaming lefties in their face, shoving cell phones in their faces, shouting at them just right up in their faces.
I would have wanted to slug them.
This guy is astutely ignoring them.
He's there with his wife.
Amazing.
No police in sight.
Amazing.
No police in sight.
And then another older man was outside the White House to watch the fireworks.
He was sucker punched and fell to the ground.
Then there's another video of protesters in front of St.
John's Church and they're chanting, if we don't get it, and by that they fancifully mean justice, we burn it down.
Burn the church down.
They did try and burn the church down a couple months ago.
They tried once, but yes, we don't get justice, we'll burn churches down.
Okay, that's very good.
And then later, of course, police were harassed, I'm sorry, protesters harassing policemen.
Once again, you've got these people right in the faces of officers shouting at them, making lewd gestures, and they are standing passively, stoically, it's just extraordinary.
Even Mayor Muriel Bowser thought this was not okay.
But the disorder continued into Sunday evening with a hundred person group marching through the city, setting small fires, throwing urine at police officers.
Now, in other words, Sunday is the day of rest for us, but not for these clowns.
And just as a small footnote, in DC homicides at their highest level since at least 2008.
So it's following the national trend.
Now, I have a question for you.
Who said the following words?
I can only imagine the envy with which Donald Trump watched Derek Chauvin's casual cruelty and monstrous indifference as he murdered George Floyd.
I can only imagine that Donald wishes it had been his knee on Floyd's neck.
Do you recognize that?
I don't!
Who said that?
Bette Midler said that.
Bette Midler?
Yes, Bette Midler.
Bette Midler is one of these masterful mind readers of which the country is absolutely chock-a-block full, and so she thinks that Donald Trump saw that video and said, Boy, this stuff is quite incredible.
But, you know, of course, Donald Trump has absolutely the least desire in the world to be killing anybody.
But, of course, there are stories of blacks deliberately setting out to kill whites.
And sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't.
But let us hear.
Well, I mean, again, there have been two instances of this in the past two weeks.
There was one in Aurora, Colorado.
And then there was one in Georgia where an AutoZone stabbing suspect said he, quote, felt the need to find a white male to kill, end quote.
Right.
That's what police said in court testimony.
So, October 25th, there was an AutoZone and I think it was... Wait, October 25th?
No, August 25th.
Yes, yes.
August 25th.
Just last week.
August 25th, AutoZone stabbing on the 32nd Street.
It was, I think, pretty sure it was Augusta, Georgia.
Columbus, George.
It was Columbus.
Oh, okay, so it's not that far from Atlanta, right down 85.
So, Javon Hatchett, 19 years old, 19, charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
He faces these charges for stabbing he allegedly committed around 8.36am at the AutoZone.
Now, it was an unprovoked attack.
Columbus Police Sergeant R.S.
Mills gave testimony in the court about the case.
When Hatchet said why he stabbed the AutoZone employee, he said he, quote, felt the need to find a white man to kill, unquote, after watching videos of police brutality happening across the country.
Now, you know, I'm curious.
I wonder what videos he saw.
It is perhaps the case that he watched the video of what took place in Kenosha.
Now I thought it was an interesting bit of coincidence.
He stabbed this AutoZone guy in the back seven times.
Where does that number seven mean to you?
Seven?
Is that how many minutes George Floyd was on the ground?
That was nine.
No, that's the number of rounds fired by the guy who shot the Kenosha film.
Okay, okay.
Seven rounds in the back.
Now, I don't think he was counting.
I don't think he was doing it deliberately.
Just one of those interesting coincidences.
Now, I tried to follow this story closely and not one national organ of the U.S.
media has ever mentioned this.
Not once, not once.
Here's a guy who has, who is so enraged by all of these stories about white police brutality, he decided he's going to kill a white guy.
Now he failed, but certainly he could very easily have killed this guy, stabbed him seven times.
Will the media even stop to reflect on whether or not they have participated in creating this environment?
No, they're not even reporting the story.
The only national organ I ever saw it carrying was Daily Mail.
In Britain.
The Brits are more interested in this than we are.
But anyway.
Yep, yep.
And then wasn't there another one that was almost equally heinous?
I didn't follow that one.
There was another one.
It was in... I'm not sure if I have it here.
It was in Aurora.
It was an Aurora, Colorado and it was roughly it was a similar type story.
Oh, here it is.
Yes, I do manic.
Yeah, he was accused.
Okay, here's what happened, you know, it's this is really sad a quick anecdote.
There was a double murder of a 39 and 37 year old white couple in Aurora, Colorado just this past week.
They were trying to do a what they thought was a transaction for a car.
Black guy robbed him, shot him both for $3,000.
Mr. Taylor, they had five kids.
And a car scam gone wrong was how the newspaper said it.
Well, here's what happened in Aurora.
The police arrested a man suspected of stabbing another man after yelling, quote, Black Lives Matter, end quote, Tuesday evening.
And like I said, Aurora.
Steve Sinclair, this guy's 30.
He faces potential first degree murder and hate crime charges, documents show.
Their arrest affidavit said Sinclair used a knife to stab 29-year-old Michael Connor, who was transported to the hospital for his injuries, collapsed lung.
Connor is a white male.
He told police while at the hospital that Sinclair shouted, quote, Black Lives Matter, end quote, prior to stabbing him.
Huh.
Now, was this completely unprovoked?
Had they had no contact before?
Was there an argument?
Utterly unprovoked.
What happened is the black male walked up to the white guy and said, quote, I'm going to kill you and your dog.
One witness said that Conor tried to run away and defended himself with a stick, and that's when he continued to say, Black Lives Matter, and attacked him over and over and over again.
Did he even have a dog?
He did have a dog.
Okay.
So, but the point is, these happened two days apart, Mr. Taylor.
Dear listener, wherever you are around the world, the point is, for the past, my gosh, It's been a rough summer.
What is it?
May 27th, roughly, when the George Floyd incident happened.
It was Memorial Day weekend.
You know, all the nonsense started across the country.
We've been living under this... That's right.
This extraordinary state of madness.
Yes, that's exactly.
It's the only way to describe it.
And now we're seeing, in two days, in Colorado and in Georgia, Black people motivated by this intense anti-white hatred.
You call it a blood libel, whatever you want to call it.
And they are deciding, hey, we're going to do something about it.
And they are.
And they are.
So far, neither killer has succeeded in killing.
But they certainly wanted to.
That was clearly their intent.
Now, I can tell you a little story, just as a cautionary tale.
It has to do with something that happened in Union Springs, a small town some 45 miles outside of Montgomery, Alabama.
Jeremiah Penn shot Jonarian Travez Allen to death.
Penn, the shooter, had gone to buy food and on his drive there he stopped to let Allen cross the street.
At which point Penn, in his car, thought Allen was taking too long to cross the street.
He got impatient.
He got out, got into an argument, and then shot Allen eight times and killed him.
Allen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Now the point I want to make here is this was an all-black cast.
This black killed another black.
I caution our listeners, if the victim had been white, we would probably assume that this was at least in part a racially motivated crime, but in the defense of black people.
Sometimes they do these completely barbaric, crazy, reprehensible things just to each other.
So, be careful before you draw conclusions which may be mistaken.
Now, somebody who's drawing conclusions that I think are mistaken is Costa County District Attorney Diane Beckman in California.
She issued guidance to police in her county that required them to consider when charging people with looting as to whether or not They needed the loot.
That's right.
Was the theft committed for financial gain or for personal need is the question they must ask.
The guidance also included consideration of whether or not the target business was open or closed at the time of the looting.
I suppose if they broke in, it's worse.
If they go in while the poor guy is there and it's a flash mob and they turn place inside out, that is less reprehensible.
Also, what was the manner and means by which the looter gained entry into the target business?
So, let's take all of these things into consideration.
Diana Becton is the same district attorney who charged a couple who painted over a message promoting Black Lives Matter on the street in front of a courthouse with a hate crime.
That wasn't littering.
No, it was a hate crime.
Painting over the Black Lives Matter Expression that was on the street.
Now, this is probably the best indication of what her political orientation is.
District Attorney Diana Becton co-authored an op-ed in Politico with District Attorney, your favorite, Kim Fox of Chicago.
And also, there was a third author, Kim Gardner of St.
Louis, I suspect she is likewise very melanin enhanced, but I don't know her personally, in which they wrote, our criminal legal system was constructed to control black people and people of color.
Now, just as an aside, is that suggested in all white America, we wouldn't need a police force?
Somehow implies that, doesn't it?
They go on to say, The injustices of our system are not new, but are deeply rooted in our country's shameful history of slavery and legacy of racial violence.
The system is acting exactly as it was intended to, and that's the problem.
We should know.
We're black, we're female, and we're prosecutors.
Wow.
Why don't they just come right out and say it?
If the looters are black, let them go.
They're basically saying that.
But these are people who are prosecutors.
And they say the whole criminal justice system is just set up to send black people to jail.
Wow.
So, there you go.
So, if you're black, I suspect that you can get away with a whole lot more looting than if you're some other color.
And now, I believe we are changing the legal system in California while we're at it, are we not?
Well, we're always changing the legal system in California.
This headline struck me as just, what?
You know, Larry McDonald, congressman who died aboard flight 007, once said that we have four boxes to change America.
The ballot box, the soap box, the jury box, and if all else fails, the bullet box.
Well, here's an example of what happens when even the jury box has to go.
California lawmakers are passing a bill to diversify white, wealthier juries.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on the effort said to be inspired by the desire to make California's juries look more like the people.
The Senate voted 30-5 on Monday night to give final legislative approval of SB-592.
It would expand California's pool of potential jurors by drawing candidates from among everyone who files income tax returns.
Currently, California draws courtroom panels that decide criminal cases and lawsuits, largely from residents who are registered to vote or have a driver's license or ID.
From the Department of Motor Vehicles, supporters of the bill state that, quote, people of color and poor residents are less likely to register to vote or drive a car, leaving the pool overstocked with white jurors who are better off financially, end quote.
Chronicle cited stats that show 56% of eligible Latino voters who don't vote and 64% of people who make a salary less than $40,000 a year don't vote as a reason for the new law, quote, Our current jury pool is whiter and wealthier than our state is.
Right now, we are denying people the right to a true jury of their peers because our juries are not demographically representative.
That's what Democratic State Senator Scott Weiner said.
Now, doesn't that suggest that the non-whites and the poor are more likely to be in the hot box in the courtroom?
You could get to that conclusion pretty easily.
No, no, shut my mouth.
Yes, sorry, go ahead.
Nope, that's pretty much it.
Basically, right now, he said the state's tax filing database includes a broader universe of people.
Advocates of criminal justice reform say Californians, particularly African Americans, are often denied their constitutional right to a trial by a jury of their peers because their cases are decided by unrepresentative juries, i.e., wealthy Does this mean that all blacks should be tried exclusively by blacks and whites by whites?
I mean, there is a certain logic there.
I believe, of course, and so do you, as I understand, that we really do need to separate and have our separate societies.
But that's the implication here, that blacks can get justice only from blacks.
That blacks should be policed only by blacks.
That blacks should have black representatives in Congress.
Shouldn't they have their own Wakanda?
Their very own Wakanda?
That's what it suggests to me, but...
The week that Chadwick Boseman passes away at 43 years of age of cancer, he portrayed T'Challa, the Black Panther.
He's basically been canonized now.
The most important film ever made.
We're not talking about it, but there's four or five families in Georgia who bought 90 acres of land because they wanted to create their own personal Wakanda.
Have they done that?
Yes, they have.
They want to create their own Wakanda.
Have they got a cache of that remarkable mineral that powers Wakanda?
Vibranium.
I don't believe they have procured the Vibranium.
At least they ain't telling.
Isn't that the idea?
They might actually have it.
It's covert.
It's covert.
Back to the jurors.
You know why they usually pick them from voting lists?
Because they can at least get U.S.
citizens.
If it's taxpayers, they can be non-citizens, they can be illegal aliens.
How would you like to have your case heard and judged by a jury of illegal aliens, just so long as they pay income taxes?
This is extraordinary.
Well, think about all the cities across the country where we see jury nullification take place, where you actually have juries that are comprised of, you know, four blacks, eight whites, It's a black guy being tried for murder.
The four blacks say, we're not letting our brother be tried.
This black man's going to walk, regardless of what he did.
Even if he murdered a little black baby, it doesn't matter.
We're not letting another black male be thrown into the implicit bias, systemic racism filled criminal justice system, are we Mr. Taylor?
I guess not.
Well, as far as the criminal justice system is concerned, a little story about Judge Phyllis Chu, age 56.
She is an Asian woman on the criminal court in New York.
She had just gotten off the Staten Island Ferry and was headed to her job in the downtown courthouse at 100 Center Street.
I've been there, I'm afraid to say, but not as a defendant, I'm glad to say.
And she was suddenly slugged in the jaw by a man on a bicycle.
Now, the judge called the cops and they searched and they found no attacker, but the suspect is described as heavy set and wearing a blue and green shirt and riding a bicycle.
That's really descriptive.
Now, that blue and green shirt, you know, that's going to do it.
That's absolutely going to do it.
He'll be easy to find, right?
How many blue and green shirts you see around here, you know?
So, there you go.
Here's Judge Phyllis Chu, and the best description she can give is he's got a blue and green shirt on riding a bike.
Oh, well.
Now, this is really a bit of a change of pace.
I bet you've never heard of Vicky Osterweil.
I've not heard of Vicky.
Well, Vicki has written a book.
It's called In Defense of Looting.
And she was interviewed by National Public Radio.
I did not hear the interview, but I read the transcript.
And in the intro, the interviewer says, in the past months of demonstrations for Black lives, there's been a lot of hand-wringing about looting.
Hand-wringing.
Now, as protests and riots continue to grip cities, Vicki Osterwald argues that looting is a powerful tool to bring about real, lasting change in society.
The rioters who smash windows and take items from stores, she says, are engaging in a powerful tactic that questions the justice of law and order and the distribution of property in an unequal society.
Now, here are quotations from Vicki herself.
When you loot, you demonstrate that without police and without state oppression, we can have things for free.
Oh!
Okay.
I guess we can.
It also attacks the history of whiteness and white supremacy.
The very basis of property in the United States is derived through whiteness and through black oppression.
I mean, I guess we wouldn't have property without whiteness and black oppression.
What would we have?
Then she goes on to say, looting strikes at the heart of property of whiteness and of the police.
What is this mush?
I mean, I suppose she's an out-and-out communist who thinks that private property is rooted in racism.
Capitalism is rooted in... What's she saying?
I do know who this is.
By the way, it's not a she.
It's actually a transvestite.
Well, no.
No, no.
She used to be a man, but she's made the switch.
Oh.
Yeah, she's made the switch.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Yep, yep, yep.
But also, let's see what else she says.
Get our pronouns right.
Yes.
Now, I'm going to be indulgent.
I'm going to call her a she.
She goes on to say that looting provides people with an imaginative... Sorry.
It provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure and helps them imagine a world that could be.
Imagine that.
There's stuff in all these stores on Rodeo Drive, on Michigan Avenue, on Fifth Avenue.
It's all there.
And all you have to do is walk in, smash a window, and take it.
That's the world that could be.
Wow.
Then she says, and I think that's part of it that really doesn't get talked about, that riots and looting are experienced as joyous.
And liberatory.
Liberatory.
Now, so she's quoted me and she's taught me a new word.
Liberatory.
Thank you, Vicki.
I wasn't aware that was a word.
Then she goes on to say, we can no longer let the police, that despicable occupying army, seem natural, nor let anyone paint resistance to the settler state As an enemy of peace.
This person has gone all out.
The settler state?
The settler state.
I guess that's what white people are.
So we're perpetual colonizers.
Of course.
Of course.
We don't belong here.
We don't belong here.
And although she looks like she could pass for white to me, as far as I know, she's as white as you or I. But resistance to the settler state must not be considered an enemy of peace.
And I suppose by any means necessary.
Then just a last little point here.
Most stores are insured.
It's just hurting insurance companies on some level.
It's just money.
It's just poverty.
It's not hurting people.
Well, try stealing something of hers.
I can imagine, oh, it's just money.
It's just poverty.
Help yourself.
This stuff is nuts.
It's insane.
Now, what amazes me is that NPR would interview someone like this without one word of criticism.
Without one even skeptical question.
They're endorsing it.
And yes, you're right.
Vicky used to be a man.
And her Twitter handle, I think, is something entirely significant.
It's Vicky underscore A-C-A-B.
All cops are bastards.
That's right.
Vicky A-C-A-B.
You know, I've been to a couple cities.
I know you've been to a couple cities and seen the after effects.
You're not there.
When these riots take place, you watch it on TV and you watch it on YouTube, you watch the newsreel and it's hard to imagine.
Just the level of hostility and this antipathy that they have.
But you just... I mean, what could compel someone... I mean, we know that most of the graffiti that you see that's supposedly put up by white supremacists or bigots turns out to be hate hoaxes.
Like, I remember famously right before the election, there was a black church where there was a lot of stuff written, I think, in Mississippi.
Turned out to be someone who was part of that parish.
I think the organist.
That's right, yeah.
But, again, This stuff, it's so in your face.
It's so, you can, it's almost demonic when you're in a city where this is happening.
You're walking by it and you see it.
It's like, what compels someone to write that?
Well, to me, the really long-term fear is that no competent human being is going to be a police officer.
Who needs this?
People are getting out of the business in droves.
Who wants to be a police officer under these circumstances?
Just time after time after time.
And as you're saying in Chicago, they've got four times as many police shot at as any year before.
Who needs this job?
And without this job, our society really comes crashing down.
But yes, we are going to move on to what happened in Portland.
It was on Saturday night, just last Saturday, when there was a pro-Trump caravan that went through the city.
Portland, as you know, has been riding every day since the martyrdom of St.
Floyd.
Now, there are videos you can show people in their pickup trucks with flags flying and the Black Lives Matter people are trying to block the way.
Some of them get sprayed with mace and there were exchanges of paintball fire.
But, as you mentioned earlier, one pro-Trump caravaner by the name of Aaron Danielson was shot dead.
There is a video that catches the instant of the murder.
And you can hear voices saying, hey, hey, we got one right here.
We got a trumper right here.
Then somebody says, right here?
And then bang, bang, and this guy's dead.
The man who was killed, Aronson, he was wearing a hat connected with Patriot Prayer Group.
As you say, this is always characterized as a far right, essentially white supremacist group, Patriot Prayer, Patriot Prayers.
You give your patriot and you pray.
That's all the left needs to know.
You are just a thoroughly bad guy.
Aaron Danielson's friend who was with him, a fellow by the name of Chandler Pappas, said that the two were accosted by a group of people clearly looking to hurt someone.
He says he heard someone say, we got a couple of them right here, pull it out.
And somebody opened fire, Danielson was hit.
Videos taken later show a black woman haranguing a group of BLM protesters and she's saying, I'm not sad that a fucking fascist died tonight.
And the crowd laughs and cheers.
Isn't this charming?
Another video shows protesters burning a flag and cheering the death of a fascist.
Now, the police are looking for a certain Michael Reinhold.
Rather strange spelling to this name.
R-E-I-N-O-E-H-L in connection with the killing.
He is a 48-year-old former professional snowboarder.
He has two pending firearms charges against him.
Just last July 26, he was wounded during a brawl in a downtown city park.
Clearly a nice guy.
He calls himself a member of Antifa.
He wrote, On Facebook.
I am 100% Antifa all the way.
I am willing to fight for my brothers and sisters.
He wrote that on June 16th.
Now he has a sister.
A considerably younger sister.
And the younger sister says that Mr. Reinold has been estranged from the family for at least the past three years and she was quoted in the paper as saying the following.
I never really knew him very well.
He was just a figure that showed up every once in a while to demand money from mom and then disappear.
Sounds like Antifa to me, doesn't it?
Sounds like our boy.
In any case, he's the guy the police are wishing to have a little chat with about the death of this poor patriot prayer guy.
And then there was a little happy accident in New York City.
A man was arrested Sunday.
We're trying to rape a woman right on a subway platform at 11 a.m.
in New York City.
It was at the Lexington Avenue and East 63rd Street F train station.
This guy, Jose Reyes, age 31, He had jumped on her in the car, but she managed to get away from him, out onto the platform, and then he followed her and began gesturing in what the newspapers call in a masturbation motion.
Then he punched her, knocked her to the ground, climbed on top of her, was trying to spread her legs, right in broad daylight on a subway platform.
There are videos of this.
And somebody's shouting, hey, get off of her!
And apparently, this guy walks off apparently.
He was somewhat intimidated by the crowd and the video and they did manage to dissuade him.
But NYPD's facial recognition team allegedly matched his clip to a mugshot.
Good job!
Yes!
Now, this is precisely what facial recognition is supposed to do and this is precisely what all the ACLU types want to stop.
Now, I mentioned this story partly for its piquant aspect of an attempt of rape right in the 11 a.m.
in the morning on a subway platform in front of plenty of people, but I just want to point out that Mr. Reyes Who appears to be a black Hispanic, has at least 14 previous arrests.
14!
14!
Count them!
14!
Yes!
Now, I also wanted to quote from his public defender.
The public defender said, my client has strong community ties.
Yes.
Well, 14 arrests.
He's partly involved in the community, I'd say.
I'd say so.
He's very active in the community.
He's got strong community ties.
Yes, indeed.
Deep bonds.
Yes.
So, there you go.
The Legal Aid Society has gone to bat for this fellow with strong community ties.
Isn't it amazing how many of the stories we're talking about today, they all tie back to that very first story you started with McDonald's, because that's the type of person who was found Who proliferated in the communities where these black McDonald's franchises had a hard time, hard time making any money.
I don't understand.
Staying in the black.
Staying in the black.
Well, being in the black keeps us from getting in the black, I guess.
And then it looks like our last story here.
Has to do with the cultural revolution going on in Washington, D.C.
It's the last story by Mr. Taylor.
Yes, sir.
I would say this is the most important story because this is a reminder the Confederates were just the beginning.
And Donald Trump was right.
Donald Trump has been saying this for months and years.
Well, we've been saying it, you know, ever since, ever since, ever since, ever since.
But this has to do with Mayor Muriel Bowser, heavily melanin-enhanced, our African-American mayor.
Had asked a group called DC Faces to evaluate properties and monuments in the city to see if they should be renamed.
Removed or contextualized.
Contextualized.
I like that word.
Yes, contextualized.
It's not as sinister as all the others, it seems.
No, contextualized.
Well, Muriel doesn't want anything in the city that does not represent the values of, quote, empowering and uplifting African-Americans and other communities of color.
If it doesn't do that, it's got to go.
Which means, Whitey, you're gone, buddy.
Whitey, Whitey.
Well, so, Among the things they're going to change, or they're proposing to change, D.C.
faces.
D.C.
faces, as far as I can tell, every single face on the chopping block is white.
Every single face?
Without exception.
Without exception.
Now, the 21 public schools have got bad names among them.
Alexander Graham Bell, I guess he was a bad white man.
James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Scott Key, Zachary Taylor, John Tyler, Woodrow Wilson, and several that I'd never ever heard of.
One in particular, a fella called Jehiel Brooks.
Who's he?
He doesn't even sound like a white man.
No, no, no.
But apparently he was.
He was born in 1797, died in 1886.
He was a soldier in the War of 1812.
He was a territorial governor and a plantation owner.
That's about all we know about him.
He ran the Red River Indian Agency in Louisiana under the administration of Andrew Jackson.
He was a gentleman farmer.
On a tract of land that was adjacent to what later became Catholic University.
Now, no indication that I can tell as to whether or not he owned slaves, but...
Jahil has got to go.
He's one of the 21 public schools, got a name, 21 people who's got a public school named after him that's got to, got to, got to, got to, got to go.
Do you have the list of the five disqualifying histories the DC FACES Working Group came up with?
Of histories?
Yeah, if I could read this real quick.
Here's actually explains it.
So he had to have fallen into one of these categories.
So these are the disqualifying histories to have a monument or a school named after you.
Here we go.
Participation in slavery.
Did research and evidence find the history of enslaving other humans or otherwise supporting the institution of slavery?
Involvement in systemic racism.
Oh boy, that just counts.
Basically all white people.
All white people.
Yeah, you know, unless you're, you know, white silence is violence, right?
Did research and evidence find the namesake serving as an author of policy legislation Support for oppression.
Did research and evidence find the namesake endorsed and participated in the oppression of persons of color and women?
Involvement in supremacist agenda.
Did research and evidence suggest the namesake was a member of any supremacist organization?
Here's the big one though.
Number five of the disqualifying histories.
I feel like we need a drum roll.
We won't get one, but here we are.
Violation of district human rights laws.
Did research and evidence find the namesake committed a violation of the D.C.
Human Rights Act?
In whole or part, including discrimination against protected traits such as age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and natural origin.
Mr. Taylor, I dare say that ageists have to go.
Tell me something, when was that human rights law passed?
I'd love to know.
Probably in the past 10 years, I'd imagine, maybe 15.
But these people have been memorialized for long before that.
So I guess some recent people, in any case, I don't, well, this is all too confusing to me, but there are nine buildings and campuses that have, whose namesakes have violated.
Now, they're all men too, not a single woman.
Not a single non-white and nine buildings and once again we get Thomas Jefferson, John Tyler, Woodrow Wilson, the usual business.
Now here's another name that I'd never heard of.
Daniel Carroll of Duddington.
I've never heard of him.
Okay.
He appears to have been a landowner in D.C., died in 1849, but I just don't know what his sins were.
It's hard to find out much about him.
Now, 12 parks, fields, and playgrounds.
Now, one of the guys I did track down, once again, somebody I'd never heard of, and lots of things are named for this guy, Robert Brent.
Ever heard of that name?
I have.
You have?
Well, you're one ahead of me.
He's got a lot of things named for him because, will you tell me who he was?
No, no.
Go ahead.
Okay.
All right.
He was the first mayor of Washington.
The first mayor.
He was born in 1764.
He was a landowner and he sold sandstone to the U.S.
government to build a White House, the U.S.
Capitol, and other important construction projects.
In 1802, Congress officially incorporated the city and including in its incorporation was a directive for a mayor to be appointed annually by the President of the United States.
So, this guy was appointed by Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson appointed Robert Brent and he was reappointed the position seven times by Jefferson And three times by James Madison.
Wow.
Yeah.
So he was in there for 10 years.
And during his tenure, he pretty much created the city government from the ground up.
Right from scratch.
Furthermore, he was a well-off fellow and he did not take a salary.
Now, I think if a guy, if a DC character deserves to have names, things named for him, it sure seems to me that Brent deserves it.
But, and you know, I could not find just what his sin was.
Yeah, he was just part of systematic racism, I guess.
I think his sin was he breathed the air.
That's pretty much the ultimate sin for a white person now.
If you dare breathe air and you inhale, you exhale.
Ah, too bad for you.
Now, then there are seven government buildings that have to be, that are potentially going to be renamed as Robert Brent, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin, and our pal, Jaheel Brooks.
You know, they were big names in their time, but no, Jackson Franklin, Benjamin Franklin, what did he ever do that was wrong, you know?
He was white and he breathed the air.
I mean, I don't associate him, he certainly never owned a slave.
No, no.
But that, now this is the part that was deleted after complaints.
A number of monuments were candidates on the block, and the monuments included, of course, Columbus.
Yes.
Right at Union Station.
There's a Ben Franklin statue.
Again, poor Ben, what'd he do?
Andrew Jackson, very bad guy.
Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, George Washington.
Both the Washington Monument and the equestrian statue of Washington at Washington's Circle.
Now, my question, will they be removed or contextualized?
Now, We're just renamed.
I think all we need to do is rename them.
After all, we've got this great, big, the Washington Memorial?
Let's just call it the Kobe Bryant Memorial.
We'll be done with it.
Wouldn't that solve the problem?
All the other monuments that need to go, the ones to Washington, Columbus, those have to be pulled down, obviously, because they have disqualifying histories.
But no, just rename them.
That's an option.
You can do the Washington Monument, but of course, again, why is Lincoln allowed to stay up?
Well, that's a good question.
And then there's, you know, the equestrian statue.
Just rename them.
Just say it's Michelle Obama.
Then we've got the thing, the problem is solved.
Just rename them.
That's the easy way out.
Come on.
That's the easy way out?
Yes, yes.
You know, no fuss, no bust, no bother.
Just say it's Michelle.
So, now I guess we do have a little time for one thing that I thought quite fascinating.
That's something I discovered.
I guess I'm a Johnny-come-lately.
You know, I'm just not the internet hound some of our colleagues are.
But if you go to antifa.com You'll be redirected to JoeBiden.com.
Gotcha.
JoeBiden.com.
And there's a lovely video of a smiling Joe and a smiling Kamala about to save the world.
And you can donate.
It looks to be the official campaign site for Jumpin' Joe and his pal, indispensable sidekick Kamala.
You know, I was indisposed last week and everything was happening in Kenosha, so I really didn't understand the significance of what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse, what happened with the burning, until a couple days after.
I took a few moments to decompress, to relax.
I was at a beach, having a good time.
I thought Trump did a wonderful job when he went to Kenosha yesterday, on September 1st.
He said the right things.
He didn't back down.
He said he didn't throw Kyle Rittenhouse under the bus.
He brought up the fact of the Trump supporter who was murdered in cold blood in Portland.
Tomorrow, on September 3rd, Joe Biden is going to be visiting Kenosha.
Now, this video, I believe, will be up before then.
I think tomorrow is going to be a very important moment in this election cycle, Mr. Taylor.
We'll see what Joe says.
Exactly.
I think this is going to be fascinating if he's even able to put together a coherent sentence about what's transpiring.
Well, I think what Joe plans to do, isn't he going to visit the family of the poor Jacob Blake?
Isn't that what he plans to do?
Donald Trump did not do that.
Not a smart move.
Donald Trump was a wicked white man and he ignored the poor, long-suffering family.
You know, there's stuff about the shooting of Jacob Blake.
It's just really, you know, Crump.
What's the guy's name?
Don Crump?
Yeah, the attorney?
Yeah, what's his first name?
I forget his first name.
In any case, he's the guy who just chases every single racial ambulance he can possibly find.
He said that, of course, Jacob showed up to break up a fight, and then things got kind of out of hand, and then he went to his car to check up on his children.
Oh yes, I'm sure.
That's what happened.
All these things.
He circulates this stuff, and I'm sure there are millions of black people out there who believe that, and the police wantonly shot the guy in the back.
This stuff is just outrageous.
Not only are there millions of blacks who are watching, but there are also a few who are then motivated to go out and target white men in Aurora and Columbus, Georgia.
That's exactly right.
But do the media care?
The media do not care.
Now, the thing about Kenosha, and I believe I mentioned this last week, what infuriates me is that when Kyle Rittenhouse was first charged with first-degree murder, I mean, that's a potential.
I don't know what the state laws are, but that's a potential life sentence or maybe even execution.
First degree murder.
That's what he's facing.
And his father put up a GoFundMe to try to raise money for that.
And GoFundMe took it down.
Quickly?
Right away.
Yeah.
Can't even have a guy raising money for his defense.
As far as I know, you're still innocent until proven guilty.
And every criminal, no matter how heinous, gets A defense.
And this guy, now isn't that like saying if Kyle Rittenhouse had been shot by one of those guys and needed money for an operation to save his life and they'd put the GoFundMe, would GoFundMe have turned that down?
Think about that.
It's a very good question.
Yes.
No, this guy deserves to die.
He deserves to go to jail for as many years as possible.
Does not deserve a defense.
This is extraordinary.
I think, and I'll tell you, it's bad enough that you and I get deplatformed.
But I think it is vastly, vastly worse that a guy can't even raise money for his defense.
This is an extraordinary, this should have been a national coast-to-coast scandal.
I, you know, I guess I'm naive.
I just didn't expect that to happen.
I didn't expect GoFundMe to say, no, this guy, we know he's guilty.
We know he's guilty.
But the fact is, even if he is guilty, he deserves a defense.
But they say no, he doesn't even deserve a defense.
Not only does he not deserve a defense, but if you actually go on Facebook and you type in Kyle Rittenhouse's name, nothing comes up.
Mr. Taylor, dear listener, people are across the world are noticing that when you try and post
anything about Kyle Rittenhouse in his defense on Twitter or on Facebook, you get put into
the Twitter gulag or on Facebook it gets removed. I mean, Facebook just announced new rules
starting, I think, October 1st where they reserve the right to remove your content because it
might violate their policies and they could come under, they could be subjected to certain
laws.
Basically, again, more election interfering.
Everything that allowed Donald Trump to be elected in 2016 has basically been handcuffed.
And, as you know, if you try to post a link to amran.com on Facebook, it will not permit you to do so.
The whole website is in the gulag.
Same thing with uns in the midair.
Yep, there you go.
So we are behind the wire already, at least as far as Big Tech is concerned.
Ladies and gentlemen, we again thank you for your attention.
Again, it is a great honor and a privilege to have this opportunity to speak to you.
And I, Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey, look forward to speaking with you again next week.
