Do You Suffer from Nepantlas?

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, it's my honor and pleasure to welcome you to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
It's October 7th, Year of Our Lord 2020.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is none other than Paul Kersey.
So glad you can be with us.
Well, I'm so glad to be with you and all of our listeners around the world, not just in the United States.
And I should point out, Mr. Taylor, that we are less than a month away from the 2020 election.
Any thoughts?
I am in an entirely and utterly zen state.
My mind is completely blank on the subject of the election.
Instead of the election, I'd like to talk about hedge funds.
You will be distressed to learn, as will all of our listeners, that Forbes Business Daily has uncovered yet another dreadful crisis.
And the dreadful crisis of the fact the hedge fund industry is one of the most white male dominated businesses in the mostly white male world of American finance.
Oh boy, crisis, crisis.
In fact, hard numbers on diversity are difficult to come by in what Forbes Business Daily calls this hush hush business.
Which tends to be how hedge funds like it.
I mean, hush hush?
I mean, why should they talk about who works for them?
And he goes on to say, the $3.2 trillion hedge fund industry is intentionally private, free of public stockholders, and typically shielded by strict work contracts.
Well, there are good reasons for that.
If you've got some proprietary trading method or some way of making money, you know, you want to stay at hush-hush, so to speak.
Nothing wrong with that.
Not one of the nation's 30 largest hedge funds is run by a woman or a person of color.
Were you aware of that?
The 30 largest, you said.
30 largest, not one.
I assume that means that probably number 31 is run by a woman.
You recall a couple weeks ago we talked about the Wells Fargo CEO who said there was such a small talent of black individuals to choose from.
He, of course, apologized.
I don't think you're going to see the hedge fund managers apologize for the lack of diversity, though.
Well, I think for good reason.
Most women or black-owned firms have less than $500 million in assets under management, and many have even less.
Whereas the big boys such as Citadel, Renaissance Technologies, D.E.
Shaw & Company, Two Sigma Investments, and Millennium Management declined even to discuss the question or give data about the diversity of their investment team.
Now, this is what Troy Dixon says.
He is founder of one of the few sizable black run hedge funds.
It's called Hollis Park Partners, says he.
The hedge fund industry is going to be one of the toughest to crack.
Well, he's cracked it.
And apparently, women and minority-owned hedge funds control less than 1% of total industry assets in mid-2017.
Now, this is a desperate, horrible situation.
I think we need to pass a law.
You know, remember, we were talking last time around about California's got this new law according to which the boards of directors have to be at least X number of minorities, X number of females, etc, etc.
But... Mr. Taylor, I'm of my capitalist mind.
Capitalists cap on real quick.
If you were an investor, you had a sizable amount of money to invest, wouldn't you care less about the diversity or the race of the people if their returns each year are higher than their competitors?
Well, as a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, this story was sent to me by a listener, a listener who used to be in the investment banking business.
Okay.
And his commentary was, All hedge funds start out small and then they either attract investors or they don't.
Bloomberg makes it sound as if minorities and women are only allowed at the smaller firms.
Everybody's perfectly free to start his or her own firm, and if it does well, you'll get investors.
That's exactly what you said.
Exactly.
If you know anything about Warren Buffett, he started off with very little, and he kept growing this massive portfolio because he stuck to a few simple basic rules when it came to investing, when it came to investing in companies, looking at the people who who were the decision makers of those organizations. And
now he's grown a company that I gosh, what's a what's a class A share of Berkshire Hathaway go for a
couple hundred thousand dollars.
You know, class B stock is about 220 a share. I mean, this this again, if you are an investor,
your only goal is to see a return on your investment. Also, if you are a partner,
all you want is people who can do the job.
It's not as though they're going to find some hotshot black woman, lesbian, one-legged, who knows what, who is absolutely great and say, no, no, no, we can't have her.
No way.
And interestingly enough, another listener sent me this story.
A different guy who also, by pure coincidence, has a background in finance.
He says, It's a demanding job, both in time and effort.
Very high pressure.
Being smart, highly motivated, and lucky helps.
These firms tend to hire the very best and or those they know and trust through personal experience.
He says, yes, it's dominated by whites, Asians, and geeks.
This article, of course, says nothing about Asians, but he says the opportunity is there for all the doors are wide open, that people who can do the job can get the job.
I mean, it's just so obvious.
And to me, it's so annoying that something that calls itself Forbes Business Daily It's just a way to throw more gasoline onto the anti-white fire that has been brewing for decades that we finally saw truly culminate with the George Floyd situation where now everything has to be attacked.
Whether it's memorials, whether it's monuments, whether it's street names, and now it's, like you just said, this last nut that has to be cracked, the financial industry and hedge funds.
You know, I have to issue a correction and an apology.
It was not Forbes Business Daily, it was Bloomberg News.
I beg your pardon, listeners and Mr. Kersey.
I bungled.
But this is an on-air correction of a mistake I made.
It was Bloomberg News.
And Bloomberg got its business supplying, he got his business supplying data without regard to where it was coming from, who was using it.
It was great data and he got there on time.
Oh yeah, he made billions!
Yes, he made billions.
He did it because he was smart.
Anyway, now Bloomberg is all involved in that person's usual stuff.
But moving on to California.
Did you know that Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill last month making ethnic studies a graduation requirement for all of the 430,000 undergraduates in Cal State University's system?
I did not!
You've got to take a course in ethnic studies.
Now, California is in the process of developing a model curriculum for ethnic studies in high schools.
You can't start soon enough.
But the process, according to the LA Times, has been fraught with controversy.
An initial draft of the curriculum, released in the summer of 2019, provoked widespread objection, particularly among people who criticized a glossary of discipline-specific terms.
Now, when I'm talking about this, remember, this is a high school curriculum.
One of the terms was Herstory spelled H-X-R-S-T-O-R-Y.
Now, remember, history is bad because that sounds like men, although it has absolutely nothing to do with his or her.
No, no, no.
It comes from histoire in French or the Latin, meaning something told.
It's pronoun neutral.
Yeah, absolutely.
But, oh my god, HIS is in.
They can't do that.
So, people talk about herstory.
Now, they've come up with HXR and it's pronounced herstory, by the way.
And it is supposed to be something that is gender neutral.
The X is used to disrupt the often rigid gender binarist approach to telling history.
Is history told in a rigid gender binarist manner?
I don't think so.
But another bit of some of this jargon.
Yes.
is, well, as, let's see, one of their favorite words is cisheteropatriarchy.
Yes.
All spelled in one word.
It's an unpronounceable gobbledygook until you sort of parse it out.
Cisheteropatriarchy.
Well, Tolteca, Kuahutin, who is an LATT, teacher who coordinated the state's ethnic studies model curriculum, I guess Tolteca Quoughton is probably from south of the border.
But he says, what's wrong with that?
Cisheteropatriarchy, a system of male, straight, conforming to assigned sex system of power.
What better term to describe that?
Well, he's got a point.
How better to describe that, if you really are insisting on describing it, having high school people, high school students remember this kind of thing.
Now, another word.
I like this one.
Accompliceship.
Have you ever heard of accompliceship?
No, please, go ahead.
See, if this went through and you were in high school, you'd learn, at least in California.
It's the process of building relationships grounded in trust and accountability with marginalized people in groups.
Being an accomplice involves attacking colonial structures and ideas by using one's privilege and giving up power and position in solidarity with those on the social, political, religious, and economic margins.
Now, accompliceship is in contrast to the contested notion of allyship.
Allyship is often performative, superficial, and disconnected from the anti-colonial struggle.
In other words, if you're posing, then you're just a mere white ally.
But the real thing, when you're really combating, you're part of the anti-colonial struggle, that's accomplishment.
That's the real thing.
Well, I mean, I guess you're going to start getting graduate degrees in that subject, in that title, that honorary.
Just a few more, just a few more.
I was taken by this list, so I looked it up.
Another one is nepuntless.
It doesn't mean with no pants on.
Nepuntless is a Nahuatl word.
It's a Central American Indian word.
I thought so, yeah.
And it can be used to describe a variety of identity-related issues including race, gender, language, etc.
Nepantla is the recognition of confusion, chaos, and messiness in one's understanding of self and the world.
Well, I think that should be a widespread term for the left.
I think there's an awful lot of messiness in one's understanding of self and the world.
I'm glad they've come up with a name for that.
They all suffer from nepotlas.
And then finally, finally, there is ex-disciplinary.
Ex-dis, okay.
Yes, it's not E-X, it just starts with an X. X, so I suppose if we're being Greek it'd be zidisciplinary or something.
In any case, the term signifies that ethnic studies variously takes the forms of being interdisciplinary.
Multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary, undisciplinary, and intradisciplinary.
I mean, gosh, you know, you wonder, have these people got nothing better to do than sit down and think stuff like this?
In any case, this was part of the model curriculum for high school students.
They're going to teach a word like nepenthes, but I like that, so I'm going to start using it.
Apparently, there were beefs about this.
I'd hope so.
Well, there were beefs.
And Jewish groups said that the model curriculum was anti-Semitic, purposely excluding Jews, and that it promoted the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against Israel.
Oh, the BDS movement, of course.
The BDS movement, yes.
Can't have that, can't have that.
Now, so, in July, Officials released a new version that eliminated the glossary altogether.
So nepotless is gone.
Also, so is accompliceship.
Although I kind of like that too.
And it clearly noted antisemitism as a form of bigotry and removed mention of BDS.
So, but the State Board of Education is under orders to adopt and modify revised curriculum by March 31st of next year.
In the meantime, in the meantime, I mean they got a lot of work to do, but at the request of Jewish legislators, according to the LA Times, the bill added caveats that instruction and materials for course and ethnic studies, quote, Be appropriate for use with pupils of all races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, pupils with disability, and English learners.
It's got to be appropriate for everybody and his brother and cat.
And it must not reflect or promote any bias, bigotry, or discrimination against any person or group of persons, and must not teach or promote religious doctrine.
I know this reminds me of a cartoon I saw years ago.
It must have been a New York cartoon.
It's in an editorial office of a newspaper.
And editor's got a reporter down on the desk in front of him, he says,
Now, Fred, I want a slashing, no-holds-barred, no-holds-barred, expo...
God, I can't talk today.
I want a slashing, no-holds-barred expose that's not going to offend anyone.
But this thing is going to be, it's appropriate for use with absolutely everybody and his cat
and his dog.
And so that should be easy, just dump on white male Gentile heroes.
Correct.
That's all you need to do.
Pretty much everyone can agree that that's the group that needs to be dumped on 24-7, 365.
That's right, that's right.
So that is what it's going to be by March.
By March 31st, they're going to whip this thing up.
But...
So, the fact is, Governor Newsom had actually, he vetoed a bill that would have come up with their own, that would have followed their own one.
So, it's going to be somewhat watered down, somewhat milder, somewhat less anti-white, I suppose, but it'll be an interesting thing to follow.
See what sort of things are in this curriculum.
Remember, I believe in the ballot in California this year, they're going to actually try and overturn the affirmative action ban, correct?
They are, they are.
So, it's a brand new day in California.
It could be.
It could be.
And while California is going cuckoo at the same time, critical race theory is taking a beating.
Critical race theory is taking a beating courtesy of President Trump.
And I know that you didn't like what he said about critical race theory during the first
debate with Joe Biden.
It was clumsy.
It was awkward.
It was clumsy.
Yeah.
Again, it's almost as if he's been told not to say anti-white.
Don't use the W word.
Or maybe he just, it's not his vocabulary.
It's very rare that he does, he says anything about how his policies have actually impacted
white Americans.
Now, if you recall, we have a situation where President Trump has expanded a ban on anti-white
critical race theory to federal contractors, which also goes along with executive branch
So this is already having widespread ramifications.
We know that.
I think your friend Tim Wise has complained that he's lost a number of speaking.
Oh, the poor boy.
Oh, the poor boy.
What does he get?
Six, eight thousand dollars a slot?
Something like that?
I think it's actually a little bit north of that, but I'll tell you what we have here.
Story that I saw.
It already shows you the ramifications of this on the campus level.
Institutions have begun to cancel diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in response to Trump's order.
Critics say that the order is censorship.
So in a campus memo, the University of Iowa's Interim Associate VP for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Liz Tover, I'm sure that she's a wonderful person, she said this, quote, let us state unequivocally that diversity, equity, and inclusion remain as core values within our institutions.
However, she continued, quote, after consulting with multiple entities and giving the seriousness of the penalties, For non-compliance with Trump's order, which include the loss of federal funding, we are recommending that all units temporarily pause for a two-week period."
Obviously so legal can come in and they can check through all the I's and make sure all the T's are crossed to see if they can find a way to Detour.
It'll be a hunt for loopholes.
It will be a hunt for massive loopholes.
So John A. Logan College in Illinois also suspended diversity events, including a Hispanic Heritage Month talk planned for next week.
In contrast, the University of Michigan's president and provost released a statement in response to the order recommitting the campus to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
You know, I like it when it's diversity, inclusion, and equity, as Steve Saylor noted.
It makes that very interesting acronym.
D.I.E.
D.I.E.
I'm sure our astute, highly erudite audience knows what D.I.E.
spells.
I think so.
I think so.
Quote, the president said this.
The educational efforts this order seeks to prohibit are critical to much-needed action to create equitable economic and social opportunities for all members of society, to confront our blind spots, and to encourage us all to be better teachers, scholars, and citizens."
Well, actually, as President Trump said, it basically just creates this idea that everything in America is evil, and white people are the purveyors and the ones who gain the most from the spread of this evil that you can't see, but it's That's right, that's right, yes.
Well, it's interesting to hear that the fact of having cut off, the threat to cut off funds, I mean this is what the Feds do all over the place now, sometimes, almost all the time, I think for nefarious purposes.
But on this occasion it seems like it's a good thing.
Here's even one more to end on.
Actor and playwright William Jackson Harper said that the order threatens arts-based work he's been doing with U.S.
military academies.
So this this guy is doing work with what the Air Force, Army, Navy, and the Merchant Marine Academy perhaps?
Or a Coast Guard Academy?
I don't know what the other fourth would be but maybe it must be Coast Guard I'd imagine.
Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Army.
No, Air Force, Army, Navy, and it's got to be the Coast Guard.
Yes.
So yeah, so he said this.
One recent activity involved watching the film Malcolm X, participants' choice of three options, he recalled on Twitter, and two of the academies wavered before allowing cadets to participate due to the White House guidance.
One of four slated academies ultimately canceled.
He said this, quote, the film Malcolm X is history, American history.
This film is not propaganda meant to teach one to favor one race or sex of the other.
It's history.
It's an admittedly thorny history, but it's history.
End quote.
Well, well, William Jackson Harper, due to Trump's executive order, your role at the military academies is history.
Let's hope for now.
Well, let's hope forever.
It is for now.
Also, the poor boy is going to take a pay cut just like poor Tim Wise, I suppose.
These are mighty tough times.
You know, the Trump administration has been doing some useful things.
Of course.
And Microsoft, in June, unveiled its five-year plan to address racial inequality in its offices.
After the nationwide protests triggered by the death of George Floyd in late May.
And Microsoft announced it was investing $150 million to double the number of black and African-Americans in leadership roles.
I don't know what the difference is, but they're going to double blacks and African-Americans by 2025.
And the message is rioting works.
Well, the message is rioting works.
And the message also is that diversity means lowering the The number of white people who are employed in those positions.
Of course.
Because they'll have to be removed.
Of course.
Or you just have to keep creating, I mean, just from a numerical standpoint, you just have to keep creating new jobs and titles.
Yes, indeed.
They also promised to take steps to address the needs of other underrepresented groups.
Google said that by 2025 it wants to have 30% or more of its leaders from underrepresented groups.
Now, I just said the Trump administration is doing some useful things.
The Department of Labor just announced that it was going to investigate whether this plan of Google's isn't racial discrimination.
In what form?
Go ahead and elaborate a little bit more.
Well, I mean, it's pretty obvious.
If their point is to boost the number of blacks, African-Americans, and other underrepresented groups, doesn't the suspicion arise in your mind that they may be discriminating against white people?
It does.
It certainly does.
And that's what the DOJ should be there for.
This is the Department of Labor doing it, but I hope DOJ gets involved and indicts them.
Now, Microsoft says it will cooperate with the probe.
And we'll see what happens.
But my guess is if they really cooperate with the probe, they're not going to somehow meet that target.
When you set 30% as a goal, that is quota.
That's in fact illegal, according even to affirmative action rules.
You're not supposed to set quotas, not supposed to do it.
But there's other good news that you have to relay.
And I like this, I like this slogan, get woke, go broke.
Get woke, go broke!
We're going to talk about the National Basketball Association, which is going through their finals right now.
Apparently it's... I don't even know who's playing in it.
I'm just looking at the story.
It's the LA Lakers.
I'm reading this story from Outkick.com.
That is Clay Travis's website.
It's a fantastic website that is really doing a lot of great work.
He wrote a good book called Republicans wear sneakers too.
He's been really out front against a lot of this COVID insanity and really about the social justice paranoia that has gripped all of the professional sports and collegiate sports.
Well, it turns out that the NBA, which has allowed players to wear Black Lives Matter on their jerseys, they can wear the names of Black individuals who have died resisting arrest that magically become heroes in the eyes of the black and woke community.
Guess what?
That's all going to be gone as ratings this season have plummeted to record lows.
Now, I want to find the exact numbers.
It looks like that Game 3 failed to reach even 6 million viewers, which is one of the lowest ratings ever.
So each game has broken another all-time low.
So readership is declining as the playoffs proceed?
As the championships proceed.
It's even worse than that.
Game 1 recorded the lowest finals opener ever.
Game 2 set another record.
Game 3 is down an unprecedented 58% from last year's finals.
Which, interestingly enough, featured a team from Canada.
So you have two teams in America.
Last year, I believe, was the Toronto Raptors who won the title.
But you've got a marquee matchup between, you know, the biggest draw in the league, LeBron James.
You know, I haven't watched an NBA game since the Dallas Mavericks had four white starters back in the early 2000s with Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki.
Well, so the point is...
People don't want to have politics rammed down their throat when they turn on the TV set to watch a basketball game.
And money talks.
It does talk.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, he said this, that the Black Lives Matter messaging on You know, the anti-racist messaging currently on courts and jerseys will be largely left off the floor next season.
He did an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, and she asked this, quote, the NBA has certainly been the most visible billion dollar organization championing social justice and civil rights.
As you noted in your press conference the other day, though, it's not been universally popular.
How committed are you to being that?
How committed are you to being that going forward?
His response was this.
We're completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality.
That's been the case going back decades.
It's part of the DNA of the league.
How it gets manifested is something we're going to have to sit down with the players and discuss for next season.
I would say in terms of the messages you see on the court in our jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer.
my sense is there will be somewhat of return to normalcy that those messages
will largely be left to be discovered off the floor." End quote.
I think, I think that the overwhelmingly black players should go on strike and
refuse to play if they can't say Trayvon Martin on their jerseys.
They actually threaten to do that.
They did sit out a game.
The guy who died in Kenosha, or who was shot in Kenosha, Blake?
Jason Blake?
Jacob Blake.
Jacob Blake.
They did.
They threatened to do it.
Well, I mean, if they say, no, you can't have Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown on your jersey, then we're going to strike.
I think that's what they ought to do.
Really, really put the owners in a bind.
Well, the league is 81% black.
Obviously, they have all the power with the players union.
Again, there was one team that threatened not to play that day with Blake, and then the entire league just said, OK, we're not going to play.
Let's just go and boycott.
And I think that most people are turning things off.
You know, the NFL ratings are down, which is fantastic.
There are so many better things.
Listeners, I know our audience isn't sitting With bated breath waiting to find out what happens between the Lakers and Heat in their finals.
But the good thing is it's a white pill.
A lot of people across the country are doing the same thing.
They're spending more time with their families.
They're spending more time with their kids.
There's so many better things you can do.
I mean I could create a list of a thousand things you could do that would be better than watching the Lakers-Heat.
And it is remarkable in this time of confinement that people should turn off the TV set when that is exactly what people were expecting to do.
But my view is if money talks to the owners, money is probably going to talk to the players.
So they will probably calm down.
I would love to see them go on strike and really make a stink about not being able to wear some favorite Black Martyrs name on their jerseys, but I don't think they're going to do it.
But anyway, another piece of news.
This is good news of a sort.
You will remember that brazen daylight ambush of two Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies back in September when a guy caught on surveillance camera just walked up to a patrol car and blazed away.
Bang, bang.
September 12th.
Hit two people, naffed the ambush, a handful of protesters gathered outside the hospital where the deputies were being treated, tried to block the emergency room entrance, and videos from the scene showed them shouting expletives at the police and yelling, I hope they fucking die.
This is the deputies.
Well, the officers have been released from hospital, but They are going to require a long process of recovery and further surgeries.
Getting shot in the head is a dangerous, debilitating business.
But the good news is that prosecutors have found the guy.
A 36-year-old man named Deontay Lee Murray.
Now he, interestingly enough, has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder.
He's got a long criminal history of the usual sort.
Investigators, when he was arrested, did not provide a specific motive for the attack, and then I will open quotes, other than the fact that he hates policemen and wants them dead.
I think that's a pretty clear motive, but other than that they found no motive.
I thought that was an interesting circumlocution.
In any case, the announcement of the arrest followed a separate, unprovoked assault on another law enforcement officer in Southern California.
A Los Angeles police officer was attacked Saturday night inside the Harbor Community Police Station in San Pedro by somebody who walked in, Call him out on some sort of pretext, then knocked him to the ground, pulled out the officer's own pistol, pistol-whipped him with it, and pointed at his chest.
Fortunately, did not pull the trigger.
What a frightening thing that would be.
Getting beaten in the head by your own pistol.
Boy oh boy, but this is the kind of hatred of the police that we find more and more frequently.
The perp in this case was not described in the news reports, but I suspect he fits the pattern, and precisely the kind of pattern that I believe you're going to describe as behind the gun violence.
It's always gun violence.
It's never human violence.
The gun violence in Buffalo.
Yeah, this was an unbelievable story.
Unbelievable, that's an understatement.
It's very believable.
It's all too believable.
It's all too believable.
But it's amazing, you know, using the inverted pyramid structure of journalism, you think that you put the most important facts first.
So I'm going to go ahead and do that.
I'm going to tell you what should have been the most important fact.
Okay.
We learn that in Buffalo, That through the end of August, 217 people have either been injured or killed in a shooting in the city.
That's 82% higher than over the same period in 2019.
in 2019. 82%! 82%! It's also 35% higher than the average over that 8 month period from
82%!
82%.
2015 through last year. So basically you've had a situation where there have been two
quintuple shootings in less than a month.
Now a mass shooting, I think New York Times considers a mass shooting when four or more people are shot.
So there have been two mass shootings in Buffalo over the past two months.
Now, here's the fact that should have been the lead.
It's also established that a disproportionate percentage of people arrested in these shootings, both locally and nationally, are black.
Oh, this is this is buried in the article they point out that They point out that the 2019 Census Bureau estimates Erie County population is about 80% white and 14% black.
During that same year, 46% of those arrested in the county were white and 43% were black, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.
I'd love, and if that was actually listed online, I'd like to find that and go through that because I'd love to see the Uniformed Crime Report for New York.
I've not been able to find that online.
Was that for all arrests or shooting arrests?
That's for all arrests.
For felonies, 34% arrested were white, 54% black.
Broken down to violent felonies, however, 23% were white, 64% were black.
Buffalo police in July began including some data on the race of shooting victims in documents released to the Buffalo News.
So basically, residents who live in some areas of the city face disproportionate levels of gun violence, which are largely the black areas where the gun violence Habitually happens to be occurring.
It somehow crops up.
Exactly.
But you just look at these, you look at these, you look at these statistics and, you know, they're still trying to figure out, they have all these goofy things where they're like, well, what's happening in major cities across America.
Criminologists are trying to parse out whether the role of COVID-19 pandemic has a role in the surge of violence.
We know what has a role in the surge of violence.
The New York Times has actually admitted this.
We talked about this last week where there was a 28% rise in homicide across the country.
We talked about the graph that Steve Saylor put together on UNZ.com.
I mean, but the fact 82% higher in Buffalo.
I mean, again, the title of the story was Surge in Gun Violence Disproportionately Hits Buffalo's Black Residents.
That's a very caustic, bombastic headline because you think to yourself, Who's behind it?
Well, is white people going out?
Are white people in Buffalo going out and targeting blacks and then buried in the lead?
No, it's blacks locally and nationally are largely responsible for this.
Fortunately.
There are a few people looking at this who have more sense than the usual Democrat or journalist.
And one of these is Paul Cassell.
He is a professor at S.J.
Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah.
He has called the rise in crime the Minneapolis Effect.
And rightly so.
He estimates that as a result of de-policing during June and July of this year approximately 710 additional victims were murdered.
That is 710 extra deaths and more than 2,800 victims were shot because of the effect of Minneapolis.
And he says at this rate 2020 will easily be the deadliest year in America For gun-related homicides since at least 1999.
And perhaps even further back.
Crime data from Minneapolis.
Violent crime, including domestic aggravated assault, was up 15%.
Property crime up 8%.
But what really spiked was homicide.
87% in Minneapolis.
That's up for this year.
Arson was up 82%.
And this too is remarkable.
Robbery up 37%.
Burglary up 25% and auto theft up 40%.
This is all in Minneapolis, the epicenter of all of this violent foolishness.
Shootings in New York City were up 166% in August compared to August of 2019.
In fact, Donald Trump made a somewhat clumsy reference to this during the debate the last time around.
He has a tendency to do that, doesn't he?
They're all sort of clumsy.
He doesn't have the right number.
He says hundreds of percenters.
I think he said 100 percent, 200 percent.
He just sort of hints at something that I wish he could explain in greater detail and precision.
But what that means to say is that in New York City, in August, Of this year there were 242 shootings compared to just 91 shootings in August the previous year.
Oh my goodness.
From 91 up to 242.
They're up in every borough except, and those who know New York City well, which perhaps does not include you, Mr. Kersey, would know which borough that is.
Have a guess.
Harlem?
Oh, come on.
No, no, no.
The one that- Oh, Manhattan.
No, Staten Isle.
Oh, Staten Isle!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Staten Isle.
Yeah, I missed- The highest, the whitest of the boroughs.
It has not had an increase in shootings.
I wonder why that is.
It probably went from very few to very few.
To even fewer.
Yes, could be.
Now, this is what Cassell says, Paul Cassell, and I don't see how anyone who is aware of the facts and who has the IQ of at least a fried egg could disagree.
We are seeing a stop in proactive police, stop in frisk, and vehicle stops, and things police officers have to initiate.
Crime rates are increasing only in particular categories, namely homicides and shootings.
These crime categories are particularly responsive to reductions in proactive policing.
Stop and frisk, vehicle stops, all the things that police officers dare not do these days because their career, the reputation of their entire agency, the safety of the entire city could be on the line if they do the wrong thing.
But, as a footnote to this story, I might add that officials in New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Portland have all approved cuts in police funding.
Yes, just what we want to know.
And while the police are stepping back and saving themselves from prosecution and persecution by not doing the proactive things necessary to stop our dusky brethren from shooting each other, what's happening in St.
Louis?
Well, what's happening in St.
Louis is homicide and non-fatal shootings are On the same level as what they're in Buffalo, but also if you remember, uh, Mark and Patricia McCluskey, they spoke at the RNC.
That was one of the really great things that and Nick Sandman were two of the people invited because they are, they are pictures.
They are the personification of this desire of Americans to actually have some normalcy back to have, dare I say, a Renaissance of the American spirit.
And I think that in a lot of ways, the McCluskey's captured that spirit.
They of course are the couple, the white couple who were seen one brandishing the AR-15 and you know you said that President Trump rather clumsy in the way that he presented facts during the debate.
I think you could say that Patricia McCluskey hasn't really handled too many weapons in her life the way that she had her her pistol.
Was a little clumsy as well.
Awkward.
Kind of waving it around in this weird way like she'd picked it up for the first time in her life.
And it was even worse when you watched the video because Mark walks into her line of sight many times with the muzzle.
And you're wondering, my God, is she going to shoot her husband?
So, you know, they're protecting this beautiful home that they've tried to renovate in Seattle proper.
So you've had all this white flight.
St.
Louis.
St.
Louis.
I'm sorry, Seattle.
Yeah, St.
Louis.
In St.
Louis proper, you've had all this white flight that's just destroyed beautiful homes, unbelievable neighborhoods.
Perhaps it would be a good city that Gregory Hood could do soon, The Great Replacement.
So, speaking of The Great Replacement, a grand jury Tuesday indicted The McCluskeys, who as they say in this opening sentence, displayed guns while hundreds of racial injustice protesters march on their private street.
I love the way that we're now referring to the Black Lives Matter Antifa violence as, they're just racial injustice protesters.
Who could be against such a wonderful term?
I'm sure you and I are against racial injustice.
We're just against racial injustice in a far different manner.
No, no, we're against racial injustice, period.
Well, against any race, but no, but we also believe that whites should be included in that.
Well, we also think the idea of whites, uh, guilty of all this injustice to others is, uh, most of it is just a bunch of malarkey.
But anyway... It is.
Well, so is this case against the, uh... But, you know, even if you had 100 angels tramping through your property, several hundred of them, uh, trespassing, I think I'd be worried by that too.
Oh, without a doubt.
And here's what's happened.
An attorney for the couple confirmed to the AP the indictments against both McCluskey's.
A spokesperson, a spokeswoman for circuit attorney Kim Gardner, of course, she's the black city circuit attorney who was lavishly funded with Soros money.
She declined to comment.
The McCluskey's are both attorneys.
They become quote unquote folk heroes according to this AP story among conservatives.
They argue they were simply exercising their Second Amendment right to bear arms, which are protected by Missouri's Castle Doctrine laws.
Missouri's got some of the best gun laws out there.
I believe you have the right to carry without a license.
Concealed carry in Missouri.
That was actually something that was passed in 2016, which allows the use of deadly force against intruders.
Now, this case has caught the attention of both President Trump and Republican Missouri Governor Mike Parsons has said he will pardon the couple if they are convicted.
They already have a get out of jail card free.
That's great.
That really takes all the sweat out of it.
Now they've accused the McCluskeys at the RNC, they've accused the leftist Democratic St.
Louis leadership for their plight.
Garner is a Democrat.
She charged the couple with felony unlawful use of a weapon.
She said the display of guns risked bloodshed at what she called an otherwise peaceful protest against, as the AP put it, merely Merely individuals engaging in a racial injustice protest.
Now the McCluskey's contend the protest was hardly peaceful.
They say the protesters came onto their private street after knocking over an iron gate and ignoring a no trespassing sign and that they felt threatened.
Watkins said accusations, that's their attorney, against the McCluskeys are quote, effectively demonstrating the highest degree of ineptitude and inappropriate behavior from Gardner, the black Soros funded circuit attorney in St.
Louis, their office.
I bet these people who were demonstrating against racial injustice were not holding their breaths either.
No, no, I mean, it's like they were putting up a fearful din as they trespassed.
But be that as it may.
Yeah, you know, this is a situation they've also thrown another charge against them, which I was kind of shocked by and I haven't had a chance to look into it.
But I believe we've got a charge against them of tampering with evidence.
It wasn't clear what led to the additional count yet.
So who knows what that is?
So, you know, the protesters, if you recall, they were walking toward the home of Mayor Lida Crewson, who lives a few blocks away.
She's the white Democrat mayor of St.
Louis.
And they just suddenly veered onto the McCluskey Street, which, you know, prompted this amazing video of a guy sharply dressed in a pink Brooks Brothers shirt and his khaki pants and probably had some boat shoes on and he's got the AR-15.
If there's one image that in my mind encapsulates and really drives home the insanity of what we've had to experience during the summer of George Floyd, it's that moment on June 28th.
Well, you know, I think I rather prefer Kyle Rittenhouse's rather remarkable shooting under difficult circumstances.
They're both heroes.
Yes, Kyle Rittenhouse, he actually knew when to pull the trigger and how.
And the way he was attacked, nearly had his gun ripped out of his hands.
I thought what he did was pretty much ranger worthy.
But anyway, that's a bit of a sidetrack from the McCluskey's.
Now, as I understand it, those people who went rampaging through their property, they had charges of trespassing against them, but they were dropped, right?
I actually didn't know that.
Is that true?
Yes, yes, yes.
The trespassers, this Soros-funded DA, dropped their charges.
Well, that's happened all across the country.
That's happened in New York, Portland.
Yes, that's exactly what we should ask.
What was it the DA in Portland said when he dropped the charges?
I can't remember the exact logic, but it was something like, oh, you know, they're just doing the right thing.
They have no right, or they have the rights to do that.
Let's just go and drop it because they're doing something against historically oppressed.
That's what it was.
They're marching on behalf of historically oppressed people, therefore... All is forgiven.
So facto, yeah.
All is forgiven.
Well, okay, here's yet another something of a good news story, which are few and far between these days, but Honduras, The flow of migrants north from Central America has slowed dramatically during the pandemic as countries throughout the region closed their borders.
Nevertheless, a caravan of 3,000 of these people set out from Honduras last week in the hopes of reaching the United States.
However, the Hondurans, to get to the United States, they have to cross Guatemala and then cross Mexico.
They've got a long way to go.
And when they first set foot in Guatemala, their president...
Alejandro Gematai promised to detain and send them back.
He says he does not want any more virus patients.
At the same time, Mexican President Manuel Lopez Obrador said he questioned the timing of the caravan, saying his departure from Honduras had been timed to provoke controversy just ahead of the U.S.
presidential elections, and he said if they got it across, if they made it through Guatemala, he was going to turn them back.
Well, they didn't make it that far.
The migrants complained they were worn out and short of food and worried about a tough reception.
Well, they were right.
They, when they showed up in Guatemala, the Guatemalan authorities set up a roadblock and very quickly they were all put into buses and sent back to where they came.
And Mexico was very pleased.
They said, the Mexican president said, fortunately the caravan from Honduras isn't continuing.
So they really met a double whammy.
They couldn't even cross one border.
I think this was just great.
And of course, Mr. Albrador, he has cracked down on these organized waves of Central Americans traipsing through their country.
He, too, cited the coronavirus crisis as another reason for stopping these interlopers.
As it should.
Of course.
And Guatemalan authorities, as I say, not only did they put up barriers, they prohibited Public transport providers, bus companies, and taxi drivers from giving service to horned deer on nationals.
I think that's pretty good.
And drivers, even just ordinary drivers, were not allowed to give them lifts.
No hitchhiking either.
Forcing caravan members to travel on foot, the poor dears.
But when they turned around, well, but they were offered buses and they were shipped right back where they came.
I hope this whole process gets huge news throughout Central America.
And it doesn't matter if it gets huge news here.
Exactly.
It needs to get huge news all over, where you just said.
Hasta la vista, baby.
See you later.
And the fact that they didn't even make it across a single border and they had to make it across one, two, three borders to get to the United States.
This goes back to the power of when Donald Trump threatened tariffs on Mexico and then immediately the Mexican government capitulated without these tariffs being enacted.
This shows, I mean again, you think I don't really care about the Russia nonsense.
I don't care about the spying that the Obama administration cleans.
I don't care about any of that.
Donald Trump was dealt a very difficult hand from the start with all this collusion nonsense, the media, all of this stuff because he has done a number of positive things.
And this story tells you, hey, Oh, this was a great thing.
Exactly.
This was a great thing.
Yes, yes.
And I think we have to put it exclusively at his feet.
He is the victor and he is the person that we must thank for this policy.
And as you say, as soon as he picked up the phone and said, Manuela baby, those guys show up, we're taxing your exports.
Then that concentrated their minds.
Good man.
Good man, Donald.
And as it turns out, the Europeans are getting sick of migrants, too.
Gallup finds the whole world is getting tired of accepting migrants.
And, interestingly enough, the countries that are least happy with their population changing happen to be bordering Venezuela.
Venezuela, as you know, it's Marxist government.
And this is a case in which the word Marx is correctly used.
It has driven the economy onto the rocks, as was to be expected, and so in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, where a lot of them have ended up, the number of people who say that migrants living in their country are a good thing, in the case of, let's see, in the case of Colombia, in 2016, migrants living in their country, 61% said that's great, and in 2019, only 29%.
29%.
61% to 29%.
And let's see where else.
And in Peru and Ecuador, we had similar drops from the 60s down into the 20s.
Yes, they are not happy because they've had to collect all of these Venezuelans.
And it just goes to show you, the more people show up wherever in the world, Even if they are fellow South Americans, fellow Mestizos, fellow Spanish speakers, the people living in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia don't want their country filling up with Venezuelans.
It's natural.
It's normal.
It's healthy.
It's the most ordinary thing in the world.
Now, this is something Gallup has been doing for quite some time.
They have asked people in 140 countries Three questions.
They ask them whether they think, number one, migrants living in their country is a good thing.
Number two, becoming their neighbors is a good thing.
And number three, marrying into their families is a good thing or a bad thing.
So they just ask these three questions.
Living in their country, becoming their neighbors, marrying into their family.
And so, if you answer yes to all three, then a maximum possible score is nine.
Now, if you say no to every one of them, then the minimum possible score is zero.
Okay.
No, no, no, no.
It's a score between zero and nine.
Now, They've been asking these three questions.
I think it's quite interesting.
Ever since 2016, and they've updated it.
And the updates have found that the Migrant Acceptance Index Has declined from 5.34 to 5.21.
A modest decline, but nevertheless, I think, an encouraging decline.
Nobody wants these outsiders.
Now, where is the Migrant Acceptance Index the lowest?
Here's some interesting cases for you.
And remember, it goes from 9 to 0.
Nine says, let him in.
Let him marry my family.
We'd love him.
To zero, which is nope.
Don't even want him in the country.
Certainly don't want him marrying my family and don't want him as neighbors.
The lowest migrant acceptance index is in North Macedonia. 1.49.
Then, Hungary.
No surprise.
1.64.
That's still too high.
It's still too high.
It is surprising.
It is surprising.
You want it to be essentially 0.1.
Then, the ones that are under 2.
These are all in these rather strange places in Eastern Europe.
Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro.
I imagine it's because they had all of these problems when the When Yugoslavia fell apart.
Of course.
And so they know that diversity is not our strength.
Diversity, inclusion, equity actually does mean die in that instance.
It is no good.
It's no good.
Latvia is not too bad at 2.24.
And then we have some interesting inclusions from Asia.
Malaysia and Thailand are down in the two points.
Good for them.
Yes, good for them.
I just wonder what their thinking is.
Thailand, you know, 2.48.
Then we get back into Eastern Europe, 2.52.
Then Turkey.
Turkey is 2.53.
They don't want outsiders either, and this probably has a lot to do with the fact that they've been getting all these Syrians pouring into their country, and the European Union has not been very friendly when they open the gates and let in more and more of their people.
Now, I very much like the idea of the Turks thinking, wait, this inclusion diversity stuff ain't so great after all.
Maybe it'll make them think twice about coming to Europe, where There too, maybe diversity and inclusion ain't such a great thing either.
Now, let us move on to the opposite end of the spectrum.
Oh, the Inglos sector.
I fear so.
This is the bad news sector.
Now, the country with the highest migrant acceptance index is none other than our northern neighbor, Canada.
It comes in with a rollicking 8.46.
That makes a lot of sense.
But, you know, it's true that they have a certain amount of selectivity, the people they let in.
But even so, they have been browbeaten, they've been bamboozled, they've been told this is what makes you Canadian.
Then, now this was a shocking development for me, a shocking discovery, number two on the list is Iceland.
8.41.
Iceland for years had no non-whites at all.
For centuries it had just been That's right, Icelandic.
I don't know what's going on there, but the Icelanders have leapt off the cliff.
8.41.
Next is New Zealand, 8.32.
Australia, 8.28.
And then, interestingly enough, and this just goes to show you what happens when you ask the question in 140 different countries, Sierra Leone.
Sierra Leone.
I wonder why they're so happy to get outsiders.
I mean, it's a miserable little place, you know.
It was founded by the Brits, composed of freed slaves, and they made a mess of things.
In any case, they would just love for you, Mr. Kersey, to move in and marry their daughter.
They would just love that.
I'll take a hard pass, but thank you for the offer.
And then, then, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, coming in just after Cialeoni in High Migrant Acceptance Index is none other than the United States at 7.95.
So there you go.
That's the bad news.
But moving on to Britain, Britain, you know, the Home Secretary of Britain is an Indian woman.
I didn't know that.
By the name of Priti Patel, and she is rather pretty.
And at first I thought, when I first found out who the Home Secretary was, I thought, oh boy, she's just going to want to open the gates, stretch every rule.
Not at all.
Home Secretary Patel is proposing legal changes that would mean asylum claims by migrants who come to the EU, and enter illegally would be deemed inadmissible.
And this follows a surge in migrants crossing the channel on small boats.
The new post-Brexit framework would replace the double agreement.
The double agreement said that you have to apply for asylum where you showed up.
That's where you apply, and you can't go prancing around one country hopping to someplace that might look better.
Now, extending similar rules to migrants who have illegally entered the UK from non-EU countries is also said to be on the table, although final decisions have not yet made.
Another idea is, if you're seeking asylum in Britain, you could be processed offshore.
They'd considered doing it in Moldova, or Morocco, or Papua New Guinea.
At first they thought about St.
Helena.
That's where Napoleon was exiled.
But they decided that's a little too far away.
St.
Helena really is in the middle of nowhere.
I think that'd be a great place, but I'm probably ferrying them out there and back.
It's too expensive.
In any case, the bill is expected to include plans to stop people drawing out the asylum application process by making them say right at the beginning why they are seeking asylum.
None of this fudging around and changing your story once you get in.
You got to come up with one story and stick to it.
And, as Priti Patel says, the system is being exploited by lefty labor-supporting lawyers.
Does that sound familiar?
It does.
Doing everything they can to stop the government from removing people.
And the immigration minister Chris Phillips said, and I'm quoting, we are often frustrated by repeated vexatious legal claims, often at the last minute, With the express intention of frustrating the proper application of the law.
Now, that just sounds absolutely taken from a U.S.
news, uh, American situation.
It does.
It does.
And, now this, and you know, Priti Patel gets my vote.
She reportedly told Tory MPs on a Zoom conference call a few weeks ago That the asylum system was broken and no good, and she promised to introduce laws that would, quote, send the left into meltdown.
Oh, boy.
I mean, yeah, I think that's pretty good.
This is this Indian origin home secretary.
Well, good for her if it takes Indians manning the barricades.
Well, I guess that's what we'll have to do.
Remember, there's one stalwart Indian in Camp of the Saints.
There is one stalwart, yeah.
One stalwart Indian.
Exactly.
Yeah, he's going to defend Western civilization even if the spineless honkies aren't going to do it.
They aren't.
Yes.
Now, here's a story from France.
A story from France.
It was a story in a British newspaper, The Independent, about a 22-year-old woman identified only as Elizabeth in the city of Strasbourg.
While she was walking home during the day, one of three men said, look at that whore in a skirt.
And two of the others held her while one punched her leaving them with a black eye and then they buggered off.
There were a dozen witnesses and no one came to her rescue.
Well, she's pretty annoyed.
And this is an incident after an 18-year-old man was handed a two-month prison sentence after he assaulted two women waiting for a tram in the French city of Moulouse.
He claimed one of the women's skirts was too short and pushed her to the ground.
I think he probably got a better view of her legs that way.
In any case, he pushed her to the ground.
Now, I point this out.
Only to point out that in the British independent story, and also I checked the French media on this, not one indication of the race or religion of the perp.
Complete silence.
Complete silence.
The French are just as muzzled, just as spineless as we are.
We're supposed to imagine, I don't know, that these were visitors from the Pennsylvania Dutch country or something, you know?
It's just pathetic.
But anyway, this is the world we live in.
We let in these people seeking diversity, and this is how we pay for it.
Well, in fairness, we did learn the Buffalo News as we wrap up.
They did point out, buried in the article, The people who are largely doing this get arrested.
They happen to be black.
The facts are there.
The local and the national, when it comes to gun violence, there is a near monochromatic pattern that emerges across the country.
The facts are there for those who wish to see them.
And that is what we seek every week on this program.
So, for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
