Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
It is November 25th, Anno Domini, 2020.
My name is Jared Taylor.
I'm with American Renaissance.
And with me, of course, is the indispensable Paul Kersey, and it is the day before Thanksgiving.
And so I'm sure Mr. Kersey joins me in wishing all of you a marvelous and joyful and full of family and love Thanksgiving.
I couldn't have said that better, Mr. Taylor.
I just want to say to all of our listeners around, not just the country, but around the world, happiest of Thanksgiving to you and your family.
And though 2020 has been a very strange and strenuous year for all of us, tomorrow, I hope that you all give thanks that, hey, we have an opportunity to make every day henceforth better than the one we left behind.
That's true.
I'm not sure that I can promise to do that, but I'll do my best.
And as we often do, let us begin with a question from a reader, because sometimes they get bumped to the end, and when that happens, we do not get to our very valuable and stimulating reader questions.
This one is a tough one, and let me read it.
When various authorities speak about black crime in terms of mental health issues being the cause, As ridiculous and false as it is, how do we officially refute this?
How would you intellectually respond to someone uttering this gibberish?
The fact is, it's not necessarily gibberish.
Black people have a higher rate of mental illness than whites.
They have higher rates of psychopathy.
They have higher rates of just about every kind of mental problem.
And so, there is some truth to the idea that black people who are committing crimes, sometimes the most egregious and awful crimes against whites, people say, well, this guy had mental problems.
Well, in some cases, he did have mental problems.
Of course, it is a very handy and tempting excuse Rather than saying, well, our society has taught this guy to hate white people and he's just doing essentially what society has told him to do.
But for whatever it's worth, there is some truth to the idea that some of these people really do have mental illness.
Some of them claim that they're hearing voices telling them to kill white people.
Well, they probably are hearing voices, but their voices aren't They're not necessarily voices on CNN either, but they probably are hearing voices, but if the voices are telling them, kill white people rather than kill spotted dogs, that has to do with the environment in which we live.
So, it's very difficult to untangle these issues, but it's a very interesting point raised by this reader, and I wish I had a better answer.
Do you have any further thoughts on this, Mr. Kersey?
I don't have any further thoughts, but I do want to thank that listener for sending such a great question over to us, and we love answering these questions.
You know, Mr. Taylor, before YouTube, before Google, before Alphabet decided to nuke our channel, we had over, what was it, 22,000 subscribers to the YouTube channel?
I believe it was something like that, yes.
In the high holy heydays, yes.
Exactly, and I think on the manamrin.com channel where you put out your fantastic videos, over 125,000 subscribers.
So what I would like for each and every one of the people listening to us right now to do Make sure that you are subscribed to the AmRen.com email and make sure that you are sending us your questions, concerns, stories, and ideas to BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com or... You can always go to AmRen.com and click on the Contact Us tab and send us your questions, comments, insults, admiration, anything at all.
We'd love to hear from you.
And now, because it is Thanksgiving, I would like to return to one of my favorite New York Times articles about Thanksgiving.
The title is, Everything You Learned About Thanksgiving Is Wrong.
I remember when I saw that title.
This is not a current year article.
This came out in 2017, but it has stuck in my mind.
I thought to myself, Oh boy.
Are we going to be told that the first Thanksgiving really was some sort of satanic ritual in which white people massacred Indian babies and used their blood to make crackers or some sort of, you know, horrible story?
And I'm reading along.
And I'm thinking, well, what are the things that I think about Thanksgiving that turn out to be wrong?
Well, yes, the pilgrims did land in 1620, and well, yes, so the next year they celebrate a successful harvest, and well, yes, they sat down to eat and celebrate with members of the Wampanoag tribe, and I'm thinking, well, gosh, everything I do about Thanksgiving is right!
Well, do you know what turned out to be wrong, Mr. Kersey?
Or perhaps wrong?
We're not even sure.
It might have been right, but it could be wrong.
And that's this.
They quote an expert as following.
There are primary sources writing about wild turkey being abundant in the area that fall, yet they do not specifically mention if they were at the first Thanksgiving.
There is no direct evidence proving that turkey was in fact served, and the only mention of meat is the venison that was brought by the Indians.
So, if you thought that there was turkey at the first Thanksgiving, you are wrong, wrong, wrong.
That is the smoking gun.
Everything you ever thought about Thanksgiving was wrong.
Now, they also added that there could have been no pie, because the settlers didn't have butter, and no wheat flour for crust, and no ovens for baking.
So, there you go.
Everything you thought about Thanksgiving was wrong.
There may have been no turkey.
I mean, there were turkeys flapping around, but we don't know for sure one was served, or several were served, and there was no pie.
Got that?
Everything you always thought about was wrong.
Let's pull the curtain back, Mr. Taylor.
What is your favorite type of meat to be served at Thanksgiving?
Is it turkey or is it ham?
Oh, well, I like turkey.
A lot of people serve it and sort of grit their teeth because they don't much enjoy turkey, but I like turkey meat.
I like turkey cold cuts in sandwiches, and I'd be happy to eat turkey several times a month.
So I'm not one of these people who considers it some sort of culinary sacrifice to eat something, shove something down their gullets that they don't really enjoy.
I quite like turkey.
And then to follow that up, I have to ask, what's your favorite side?
Are you a cranberry from the can, or do you have to have some special cranberry sauce?
Nope, I don't like cranberry sauce.
What I like best as a side is oyster dressing.
Oyster stuffing.
I think that's quite marvelous.
But, you know, let's move on to the student columnist at University of Virginia with her advice to students returning to their households and how they should celebrate Thanksgiving.
You know, Mr. Taylor, one of the things we have to just quickly mention is that you and I still, you and I had different opinions on who was going to become president.
We still don't know.
I know that that's very strange here on November 25th, 2020.
But I know that a lot of people are going to be going to their homes.
A lot of people are going to be with family.
They might have different political opinions, ideologies.
And as you mentioned, this article that I found, the headline is this, University of Virginia Student newspaper opinion writer quote stand up to racist family at Thanksgiving now this newspaper columnist She encouraged readers to stand up against racist family and Her name is Emma camp and she writes a regular opinion column for the Cavalier Daily.
She asserted that quote White progressives must privilege their principles and Well, that's right.
Every celebration has got to be turned into a political message.
order to fulfill this mandate, quote, they need to stand up to their racist loved ones, end quote.
Well, that's right. Every celebration has got to be turned into a political message.
Every time you meet your loved ones, so to speak, and maybe they won't be loved ones for much longer
at this rate, you got to lecture them on how bad they are, right? No, that's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
The article goes on to say that she defines Donald J. Trump, our 45th president, as, quote, a proto-fascist who has been defeated, argues that the hateful rhetoric, conspiratorial thinking, and virulent racism, xenophobia, and sexism he espoused during his tenure remain deeply entrenched in American political discourse.
Quote, You know, I hope I pronounced this word correct because I've never even cared about this whole concept, but here we go.
When we sit silent over our uncle's QAnon rant or our high school friend's xenophobic comments, it shows that we value our own comfort over what we know to be our ethical duty.
She would then admonish readers to prove their moral principles are more important than their relationships with racists.
Well, there you go.
Anybody who voted for Trump is a proto-fascist and a sexist and a homophobe and all of those things, and so it's your job.
You can be related to them.
They may have reared you.
They may have changed your diapers.
They may have showered you with love and every possible advantage.
But it's your job to put them in their place and tell them what miserable excuses for humans they are.
And the best time to do this is when you're sitting side by side or around the table with a turkey in front of you.
Now's your chance to prove you are virtuous, you are a superior human being, and they are mucked.
Well, they're deplorables.
They're irredeemable.
I go back to 2016.
It's amazing four years have passed so fast.
I mean, you know, time flies by and I think that's one of the most important things we should be talking about at Thanksgiving.
Not about how you're bigoted, racist, xenophobic, or a supremacist because you You're one of the 75 million people who voted for Donald J.
Trump in this past election.
I think we should be talking about how important family is and the fact that time flies by
so quickly.
You know, Mr. Taylor, I know I don't want to give too much information away, but it
is astonishing to think that in our lives, some of these great moments just happen so
quickly and things we take for granted one day are gone the next.
That is true.
And to hear about how Why should you want to bring acrimony into a wonderful experience?
I mean, think about this.
We're in this weird time of Corona, the coronavirus, the COVID-19 situation, where we have multiple state governors telling people, you shouldn't travel.
You have multiple state governors.
I know in Pennsylvania, I mean, gosh, it's Wednesday.
I believe in Pennsylvania, they've just shut down alcohol sales for the rest of the week.
Well, you do this because ethics requires that you do so.
And, as she said, ethics.
Now, also, it's because arrogance requires that you do so.
You may be a sophomore in college.
You are a wise fool, what that literally means.
And yet, you know more.
than your aunts and your uncles and your parents who have been around for a whole lot longer and
thought about a whole lot more things than you do, but you know better and you are supposed to put
them in their places. That's what it all means, but this is typical, typical of what people learn
in university. And, uh, uh, well, there's one more thing I'd like to read from her real quick.
One more quote from her.
She says this, because I think this puts an exclamation point on this segment.
She says this, quote, No matter the outcome, standing up for your principles disrupts the presumption of agreement so often assumed by bigots.
Hateful beliefs may continue, but at the very least you can make it clear Well, she's going to change the world, one racist aunt, uncle, and cousin at a time.
Well, good luck to her.
In the meantime, Mr. Kersey, prepare for the Biden tsunami.
but don't pass your opinion, you bigot.
Well, she's going to change the world, one racist aunt, uncle, and cousin at a time.
Well, good luck to her.
In the meantime, Mr. Kersey, prepare for the Biden tsunami.
And by the Biden tsunami, I mean illegal immigration.
Did you know that in the month of October compared to September,
just in anticipation of a Biden victory, I guess all those illegals read the polls too.
The numbers caught at the border were up 21% over the month before.
The Border Patrol caught 69,000 border hoppers as opposed to 58,000 and among them, that was 58,000 in September, among them there were 4,500 parents with children traveling as so-called families and more than 4,600 children without their parents.
Now, this to me is one of the most eye-opening stories agents found.
A six-year-old and a two-year-old abandoned along the Rio Grande in Texas.
They were siblings from Honduras and they had with them their birth certificates and a handwritten note with contact information for an adult in the United States alleged to be their aunt.
Because the people who are doing the smuggling, they pay attention to American domestic policy, and they realize that policy will probably deliver the children to their relatives, thus doing the job of the smugglers all the way to their destination.
Isn't that a story for you?
Dumped a six-year-old and a two-year-old on the border, Expecting that the charitable Border Patrol will scoop these people up and deliver them to their destination.
Now, what I wonder is if this so-called aunt really is an aunt?
Or is she paid to pretend to be an aunt?
And whether this so-called, assumed, alleged, putative aunt is even in the country legally?
But this is the extent to which illegal immigrants know our policies and exploit them.
But most adults, of course, just push back across the southwest border thanks to this emergency public health order from the Center of Disease Control during the pandemic.
We don't have to even consider their asylum pleas.
We just send them back because we have this emergency order.
And this has allowed Customs and Border Patrol to make some 300,000 expulsions over the last eight months that they had to do with practically no paperwork at all.
And Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan says this has clearly saved the country from a lot of coronavirus cases.
Mr. Taylor, I've got to interrupt you real quick.
Repeat that number again?
300,000?
Over the last eight months.
We just told them, get lost.
You don't have to process them.
This is a big change of what was happening before, and that's why illegal immigration has slowed to a real trickle.
And but this is going to stop under Joe Biden.
He's going to stop deportations 100% and he's going to suspend many of the border policies that helped curb all of these swarms that were trying to Borrow their way into the country.
Among the policies that Mr. Biden is going to overturn is one called Migrant Protection Protocols, better known as Remain in Mexico.
I'm sure you remember that one.
That meant if you're an illegal, you hop the border, we shove you back to Mexico to wait for your immigration hearing.
Correct.
That discourages them.
Otherwise, we would just turn them loose into the country.
This allowed CPB To send them back to Mexico and before that policy was inaugurated in 2019, Border Patrol and ICE released half a million illegals directly into the country.
And after the migrant protection protocols were implemented, In 2020, that figure went from 500,000 to 15,000.
A huge drop.
And Biden, of course, with a flourish of his politically correct pen, is going to change that.
And as Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan says, make no mistake, that is going to Our borders are open.
You will see a crisis that makes last year's crisis look like child's play.
You can take that to the bank.
I'm sure he's right.
This is what I call the Biden tsunami.
Now, do you know what Joe Biden's solution is for the problem of illegal immigration to the United States?
Do you know what he's proposing?
Regrettably, I do, Mr. Taylor, and I'm afraid that all of our listeners are about to find out what they are in your opinion as well.
Well, it's not my opinion.
It's not your opinion.
It's straight fact.
This is what Joe himself says.
He is going to solve the problem by means of nation building.
So he's going to make Honduras and Guatemala and El Salvador such Wakanda-like places that they're not going to want to come north.
Now, in the meantime, as you know, he's offering free medical care to all border hoppers.
So until their medical system is up to U.S.
standards, Then they're going to keep on coming.
He's going to have a big job making the whole world such a lovely place to live in that nobody's ever going to want to come here against law again.
I've got to jump in here.
I love the fact that you are now using that noun Wakanda in your everyday vernacular.
That makes me so happy.
Wakanda.
I think I need to compose a little song with a jingle about Wakanda.
But also in what appears to be the dying days of the Trump administration, he has revived the possibility of taking executive action to eliminate birthright citizenship.
You and I have talked about this many times.
A draft of a possible order has been circulating for some time, and they are planning, or at least considering, issuing an order before the other boys take over in January.
Now, the Trump people know that this would be immediately challenged in court, or, probably, instead of that, the Biden administration would simply do an executive order to repeal the Trump executive order.
But the idea, theoretically, is to get this thing out before January so that there could be litigation and it could go up to the Supreme Court.
Now, I think that is an idiotic idea.
Let's say that this thing is issued.
And there is litigation, and it goes up to the Supreme Court.
By then, who's going to be Solicitor General?
Who's going to argue the case before the Supreme Court?
Who's going to make the argument that birthright citizenship is not allowed or protected by the 14th Amendment, which is the argument that the defenders of it make?
It's going to be the Biden administration.
They will probably pick the most infantile, weak, and ludicrous arguments, even if they attempt to defend the case.
So, this, to me, is really a crazy idea.
If he was going to do anything about birthright citizenship, he should have done it on the very first day.
He would have had four years, if need be, to litigate it.
Now, you could make an argument that by then he had not appointed as many Supreme Court justices, but still, If a serious case is to be made before the Supreme Court, it has to be done by an administration that believes that birthright citizenship is not covered by the 14th Amendment.
But there you go.
This is what he is at least thinking of doing during the death rattle of the Trump administration.
Now, I would like to add another point to this.
If those who support immigrant rights, so-called, they caution that even if the Biden administration undoes it, or even if the Supreme Court decides the 14th Amendment does provide for birthright citizenship, this could still have a chilling effect on those seeking to come to the United States.
So says Shev Dalal Daini, Director of Government Relations for the American Immigration
Lawyers Association.
In other words, the idea that you could be pregnant, you could give birth in the United States, and your child
might not become a U.S. citizen.
citizen.
This would have a chilling effect and you might want to stay home?
What does that say about what this Shev-Delai-Dahini thinks about the motives of people who cross the border illegally?
This is astonishing to me.
Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
You kept using that word, the dying days.
The light is going out on the Trump administration.
Again, we have no idea what's going on with the court battles and stuff.
You and I have talked about this.
It's not our issue.
But the point is, we do know what Biden plans to do in his first hundred days.
And if they do take control of the Senate after the January special elections in Georgia, what is to stop them when they have complete control of every branch?
Well, at least two of three branches of government, the executive and the legislative.
Well, that's right.
And a great deal can be accomplished by means of executive action.
In the meantime, You and our listeners will be thrilled to know that Representative Rashid Tlaib, Palestinian of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley, African American of Massachusetts, have authored
May I take a guess, Mr. Taylor?
The BREATHE Act. That's B-R-E-A-T-H-E in full caps. I suspect it stands for some
sort of rather clunky and not even clever acronym. I've not delved into why
or not into exactly what, but this would create... May I take a guess, Mr. Taylor?
I beg your pardon? May I take a guess as to where it comes from?
Well, yeah.
I think I can guess, too.
I can't breathe!
Eric Garner.
Don't breathe!
Eric Garner.
Yeah, exactly.
But what it stands for, I do not know.
But it would create a commission to study reparations.
It would give voting rights to illegal immigrants.
It would end cooperation with immigration authorities.
Now, why didn't it just abolish ICE?
I don't know.
And it would start pilot programs for universal basic income.
And last but not least, it would include a section requiring, quote, a roadmap for prison abolition.
Oh, there you go.
Well, this is really pretty ambitious stuff.
Now, you will recognize the name Patrisse Cullors.
She is a co-founder of BLM.
And as she wrote in an op-ed for Teen Vogue, as you know Teen Vogue has become this vehicle for, I don't want to exaggerate, but just really quite hair-raisingly anti-white stuff.
Yeah.
As Patrisse Cullors wrote, the BREATHE Act is a legislative love letter to black people.
Well, I suspect it will remain merely a love letter, because not even Joe Biden.
He has waffled on the question of defunding the police, but this idea of a roadmap for prison abolition?
Does Joe Biden and does Kamala Harris really, do they think it's a good idea to turn loose all the prisoners in the country?
I don't think even Joe thinks that's a good idea.
And what would happen if they did?
They would let loose a terrible plague on black communities, as it's called.
Not just black communities, of course, but this would be a catastrophic hate letter to the black people.
Imagine, despite what Patrisse Cullors said, you turn loose every felon in the country, white, black, blue, Hispanic, Is that really a love letter to the black people?
In any case, that's what she has in mind.
That will be the Breathe Act.
All those huddled masses in our jails yearning to breathe free.
Just warning our listeners.
I listened to this, and you think what you just said about Joe Biden, because one of the things we've seen so far, before we segway to the next segment, Mr. Taylor, is the people he's already talked about appointing to his cabinet.
You know, he's considered president-elect.
Obviously, not until December 14th do we see the certification of all of the states actually become, you know, Rare, you know, documented and set in stone.
But the point is this, the people he's appointed to his cabinet are anything but progressives.
They're neoliberals.
They're neoconservatives.
It's almost as if the Trump administration never happened.
And we've seen this sort of Continuation of both the Bush and Obama policies when it comes to domestic and foreign policy And it's so fascinating that the far left wing wants all of these radical ideas as you pointed out but this is something that Biden and Harris aren't even considering and in in all reality Nope, these progressives are gonna be pretty unhappy and a lot of people are predicting I think quite accurately that without
Hatred of Donald Trump to unite them, this weird coalition could have rocky times coming its way.
But there is yet more legislation and it seems to me that if you have a sufficient amount of melanin, you could have 40 acres and a mule coming your way.
Am I correct?
Maybe have 40 acres and a mule, but how about 40 acres and a John Deere?
This is an article from Mother Jones.
It comes from November 24th, 2020.
The headline read, Black Farmers Have Been Robbed of Land.
A New Bill Would Give Them a Quantum Leap Toward Justice.
This is the Black Farmers Civil Rights Act of 2020.
And it's long overdue.
What a headline.
What a subject line.
What a way to lead into yet another example of the type of racial reparations that a lot of people believe that the Joe Biden administration is going to birth.
I believe it will be a stillbirth, but here we are.
The article reads, After the U.S.
Civil War, newly emancipated black growers won a share of the agricultural landscape.
They did so despite fierce blacklash.
By 1910, around 200,000 black farmers owned an estimated 20 million acres of land.
Mostly in the South.
That was the peak.
Since then, due to what the Mother Jones describes as lingering white supremacy and racist machinations within the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, the number of black farmers plunged by 98%, yet somehow obesity rates have never been higher in the United States or around the world.
Go figure.
Well, those machinations must have been pretty doggone vicious to deprive 90% of the farmers of their hard-earned land.
Oh, no, no, no.
98% of the black farmers.
Oh, boy.
The remaining few managed to hold on to just 10% of that hard-won acreage.
Well, our friend from New Jersey, Cory Booker, the former mayor of Newark, one time thought to be the Shoo-in for the first black president that didn't manifest itself, but he has become the, seemingly until he dies, senator from New Jersey.
He's got a new senate bill called the Justice for Black Farmers Act.
It's going to be released on November 30th.
It would mount a long-delayed federal effort to reverse the, quote, destructive forces That were unleashed upon black farmers over the past century.
One of the dark corners of shame in American history, end quote, is what this bill reads.
Co-sponsor is going to be our friend Pocahontas herself, Elizabeth Warren.
And Kirsten Gillibrand from New York, both Democrats, of course.
It's going to create an equitable land access service within the United States Department of Agriculture, including a fund that devotes a mere $8 billion annually.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
on the open market and granting it to new and existing exclusively black farmers.
So as you mentioned...
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
They're going to spend $8 billion buying up farmland and giving it to black people?
Well I knew that Yale education would come in to...
I wouldn't have thought that...
Huh.
I...
I...
I mean, again, it's, it's, I don't think people, we've not yet reached even the tip of where things are going to go when it comes to trying to appease, as you mentioned, this coalition of the fringes, that is, again, the only thing that unites all these disparate groups is their hatred of White America.
Well, remember, most current farmers are white, so if you take their land, then, well, you know, the Zimbabweans and the South Africans have shown us a good example of the way to do it.
I don't want to ensure that his Twitter account is nuked, but BattleBeagle, one of my favorite Twitter accounts, he constantly points out this whole concept.
I've got You and I are both very well versed in business, MBAs, background in supply chain economics and supply side economics.
We both understand that, as he's pointed out, surveys show that about 94% of farmers in the United States right now are Caucasian.
And any disruption in this and our just-in-time inventory system of food production, well, I'm going to tell you something.
We already saw what happened during the COVID-19 crisis that started back in March of 2020, when we saw rations hit in grocery stores across the country.
In fact, I just read where the governor of New Mexico is basically shutting down grocery stores for two weeks to try and curb the spread of coronavirus.
That'll curb the spread of obesity, too, I suspect.
Well, here, it's really simple.
Don't eat more carbs than you need to.
My point is this, Mr. Taylor.
The majority of the farmers in the country, 9 of 10 farmers in the country, currently are Caucasian.
And you're basically having this bill put forth that's going to devote $8 billion annually to buying up farmland on the open market.
Wait, was it $8 billion annually?
$8 billion annually!
This is a program that's going to continue.
Again, consider that Joe Biden gets four years in office.
You're talking about $32 billion!
Well, at least they're talking about buying the farmland.
We're not South Africa yet.
Exactly, we're not talking about appropriating.
But you know, what this is going to do, if you really do buy productive farmland and you give it to people, you give it to people, I would bet you any amount of money that the productivity will plummet.
This is what happened, of course, in Zimbabwe and in South Africa.
They took productive farmland away from hard-working white farmers, gave it to black people who didn't know what to do with it.
And I predict not to quite that extent, but that's what will happen in the United States as well.
But have we finished with this story?
Can we move along, Mr. Kersey?
There's two more points I want to bring up because I think it's important to really delineate what this is going to do.
It's going to make a goal of making 20,000 grants per year over nine years with maximum Allotments of 160 acres.
So it's not, you know, you're well over, you're well over your 40 acres in a John Deere.
It would also fund agriculture-focused, historically black colleges and universities, as well of, as well of non-profits like the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust, which is going to help identify land for the USDA to purchase and quote, help new and quote help new black farmers get up and
running provide farm training and provide other assistance including support for development of farmer
cooperatives end quote so what you just said about all of this land redistribution that we saw in
Rhodesia or oh gosh I guess you should call it Zimbabwe because it's such a thriving country or
Or what we've seen in South Africa.
You know, one of the saddest parts about the whole Trump administration, Mr. Taylor, and at some point you and I are going to need to do a really deep dive post-mortem into what Trump could have actually done.
Do you remember in 2018 when Tucker Carlson did an entire segment about South Africa and the whole concept of land redistribution that was going to happen?
And Donald Trump actually retweeted all of this and it caused a massive stir.
Everybody was upset.
They were more upset about the fact that Donald Trump brought up this Bolshevik racial redistribution of land from whites to blacks than they were about the whole shithole countries or even the Muslim ban.
Well, I believe we can move on to the next story, if we may, and it is the tragedy of Hamza Travis Nagdi, 21 years old, of Louisville, Kentucky.
Now, Hamza had been out of jail for more than two years.
when he began to take a leadership role in Louisville's racial justice movement.
Justice for Breonna Taylor, you know, no relative.
Breonna Taylor, of course, died in a crossfire because her black boyfriend was wanted for drug dealing and opened fire on the police.
But in any case, Hamza Nagdi was described by the Louisville Courier-Journal as an organizer who was easily spotted by his bullhorn and big hair.
Yes, I can confirm from the photographs.
Big hair and bull form.
He was frequently seen leading chants and marches.
Justice for Breonna.
The Courier Journal goes on to say that, alas, he has become the latest victim in a record year of gun violence in Louisville that has disproportionately affected young black men.
Gun violence.
You know, it's that mysterious, uncontrollable force of nature.
You know, gun violence just descends from the dark heavens and black young men are so unlucky it hits them.
Somehow.
I suppose it would be much better if it were just mowing down old white ladies.
But no, gun violence disproportionately affected young black men, and it affected him.
The Courier-Journal goes on to say that his death marks 145 criminal homicides that the Louisville Department has responded to, shattering the city's record of 117 set four years ago.
And the year is still yet to go.
Now, in the case of Hamza Nagdi, no suspects have been identified.
Snitches do get stitches, after all.
But when the truth comes out, I'm sure it will turn out to have been a Magahat-wearing frat boy.
Well, as Antonio Teemade-Taylor.
His middle name is spelled capital T apostrophe capital M-A-D-E.
Antonio Teemade-Taylor.
Uh, no relation, I certainly hope.
He is described as an independent reporter and a mentor of Hamza Nagdi.
He says, we're going to finally put some attention on this thing, and we're going to wrap a movement around it, and we're going to be serious about what's going on in our city.
What?
What?
On the occasion of the 145th Criminal murder?
Homicide?
He's finally going to put some attention on this thing and wrap a movement around it?
Well, that's Antonio T-Made Taylor for you.
Now, needless to say, I'm sure that Antonio, as well as Hamza, thinks all cops are bastards and the solution is to defund the police.
And thank goodness there were no police anywhere around when poor Hamza Nagdi bit the dust because surely they would have just marched up and pumped more rounds into the poor helpless black man, don't you figure?
In any case, this is a sad end to Hamza Nagdi.
Age 21 of Louisville, who is about to turn his life around and become probably, if not an aspiring rap artist, which they all are, maybe a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
But moving up to Canada, you'll recall Jordan Peterson.
He was a very popular YouTube star for a while, and Penguin Random House Canada just announced on Monday that it was releasing his latest book.
Well, believe it or not, a number of employees of Penguin Random House Canada burst into tears when they heard the news.
Delicate little flowers they must be.
One of them said, he is an icon of hate speech and transphobia and he is an icon of white supremacy.
In between sobs, this is what this person said.
Well, as you may recall, he became famous initially when he objected to Canadian non-discrimination laws because they could have forced him to call transgender students by their preferred pronouns or be faced with prosecution under these so-called human rights laws.
Now, preferred pronouns can be very slippery territory.
As you probably know, there's a whole slew of them that I've never ever understood and haven't attempted to, such as Z, C, HER, CO, and A. I guess you would say, I like Z shoes.
Or, please explain to CO that she's wanted at 10 in the morning.
But because he was unwilling to use some of this exotic terminology from some of these students, he became famous and he has become an icon of hate speech and transphobia.
Now the title of Jordan Peterson's new book is going to be called Beyond Order, 12 More Rules for Life.
His original book, 12 Rules for Life, sold over 3 million copies.
So this seems to be a decision that Penguin Random House is making in defiance of the delicate sensibilities of its employees because it's interested in making money.
Were you ever much of a fan of Jordan Peterson, Mr. Kersey?
I do like Jordan Peterson.
There are a number of philosophers that I like right now.
I'm a big fan of Vox Dei.
I'm a big fan of Jordan Peterson.
I know that those are dichotomies.
I believe Vox Dei actually wrote an entire book attacking Jordan Peterson.
But I'll be blunt.
I think that Jordan Peterson brings up a lot of very good, simple, Common sense type points that in our weird paradigm are taken for granted.
And I think that his steadfast desire, as we hear your amazing cat purr on this pre-thanksgiving night, I think Jordan Peterson does simply stand to thwart history and say, you know what?
A lot of this whole transgender stuff, a lot of this whole political correctness, it's got to stop.
And in my opinion, that's all that needs to happen.
We don't need... Go ahead.
Well, one of his 12 rules, as I recall, is clean your room.
That sounds like good advice to me.
Hardly original, but... It's not!
Again, it's not...
You know, it's funny.
Mr. Taylor, I know you've talked about this many times.
I mean, you've got that amazing Ivy League education from Yale, and everybody wants to call you a hater.
Everybody wants to say that you're some vile human being who doesn't even deserve the right to be able to hold conventions, whether it was in Northern Virginia, as you used to do with the New Century Foundation, or whether it's in Tennessee at a state-owned facility.
The point is this.
Oh, it's worse than that.
I can't even have a personal PayPal account.
Oh, a PayPal account, a Facebook account, and a Twitter account.
The point is this.
We are not extremists and the fact that we even are censored is a reminder of just how voracious we are.
And that is what scares the elite.
That's what scares what Sam Francis, God rest his soul, it's been almost what 16 years since he died in February of 2005 and he correctly identified the managerial elite.
Whether it was Democrat or Republican on both sides as the primary antagonist stopping us from having some semblance of authority in this nation and across the globe.
But as you were saying, I mean, I do like Jordan Peterson, so... Well, if even he should be a target of censorship, according to at least a certain number of his publisher's employees, we are in dire straits.
If you can get in trouble and you are an icon of white supremacy because you tell people to clean your room, we're in trouble.
But let us move on to New York.
In New York, This year, police counted 1,667 shooting victims.
That's double the number reported in 2019 for the same period.
And as our listeners will remember, a shooting victim is someone who stops a bullet whether he dies or not.
That's 1,667.
Now, NYPD data show that murders are up only 37% more for the same period.
So, if a whole lot more shootings have doubled and murders are up only 37%, that means aim, shot placement has gone down.
These people need a little bit more range time.
But EMTs and paramedics took 1,304 shooting victims to emergency rooms in 2020 as of September 30 compared to 690 in the same period last year.
Some of them staggered in by themselves, some were driven there by grieving relatives, and the data do not include private hospitals and ambulance companies that also respond to shootings.
Now, I thought this is quite interesting.
This is a story in the New York Post.
This points out gun violence Again, gun violence, you know, it's this disembodied force that somehow descends upon poor unlucky black men.
In any case, gun violence pulls doctors and nurses away from more routine procedures because they must drop everything and rush to the trauma bay.
What this tells you is if you live in a big city, Do not schedule surgery for the weekend, certainly not Saturday night, because the guys doing your bypass surgery might have to tear off to save the life of some ghetto thug who just stopped 15 9-millimeter rounds.
And there's a story of Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.
A Dr. Ronald Simon, director of trauma surgery, recalled Hours of surgery he spent one night.
When a man shot in the neck, abdomen and chest, he brought in a second surgeon to help.
He says, we were working simultaneously on both sides of this guy's neck trying to repair major blood vessels that had been shredded by the bullets.
And he says, I think we worked on him for three or four hours.
The patient needed four units of blood.
An entire human body contains one unit.
So they gave him the equivalent of four full human bodies worth of blood.
He says, it became harder and harder for the anesthesiologist to maintain blood pressure.
And despite this, despite all of our efforts, despite four times the volume of human blood, his heart gave out and he died.
Wow, what a story!
Two surgeons working three or four hours, all this blood, all this anesthesiology time, the fellow died anyway.
But remember, remember, the United States is a white supremacist country that is constantly doing its worst to hold black men down.
Now that we don't have the race of this person, I have every reason to suspect that they did not put this effort into this guy only because he was a blonde and blue-eyed Nordic.
I suspect that he was a black man.
In any case, this same article quotes Beverly Brown, manager of Jamaica Hospital's trauma program, and she says that relatives of the grievously wounded also need ministering.
Ministering.
Now, this makes you wonder, are they in a state of shock and trauma?
She says, goes on to say, some people will scream and holler, some will just sit and stare, and some will get very violent on you.
Well, I guess they do need ministering.
I think they need a shot of Thorazine and a straitjacket is what they need.
But This is an aspect of this gun violence, so-called, that we really don't think about.
The extent to which it puts tremendous pressure and very sudden pressure on doctors who should be doing other important surgery elsewhere and the kind of folks that show up accompanying these people.
Another thing that I remember reading about in one article Is folks who, having had bad shot placement, they follow the ambulance into the hospital and try to finish the guy off in the emergency room.
This is just wild and crazy stuff.
And when you think about, and this article goes on to talk about, people who are, they feel like they're at the battlefield.
And as you know, the United States military Send people into these trauma units so that they can get all sorts of first-hand training dealing with gunshot wounds.
They don't have to go to Afghanistan or Iraq to get training in this stuff.
You know, just take the subway up to Harlem and you know, you've got all the training you could possibly need.
Actually, Mr. Taylor, I've got to jump in and tell you.
There are so many instances where you read about trauma surgeons in the U.S.
Air Force or the Army that train in Baltimore, St.
Louis, or Memphis because they actually get to see and experience and have to bandage and sew up individuals who are The beneficiaries of these horrific wounds when it comes to these gun battles in places as mentioned, or in Louisville.
I actually believe, you know, I think at one point you lived in Louisville and as one of the stories you mentioned earlier, one of Breonna Taylor's Most ardent supporters was regrettably gunned down in Louisville.
That's a place where U.S.
Air Force trauma surgeons train because of the prolific numbers of non-fatal shootings that occur in that city.
That's right, and they help increase the non-fatal rate.
But continuing in New York, on November 19th, Aditya Vel Mulapati, I'm sorry, Vemulapati, Aditya Vemulapati,
age 24, ran up behind a 40-year-old woman on the platform of the subway station
at Union Square Station and shoved her off the platform into the path of an oncoming train, the subway.
She narrowly escaped death, but this is captured on video.
It is quite remarkable.
The train is coming in.
She is expecting to get on.
Well, she had no chance to get on because this guy comes barreling up behind her, shoves her off.
Now, she overshot the tracks and apparently was missed just barely, but Vamula Patti, pardon me, he'd been in New York only for a
few months with no prior arrest in New York, but he had a history of arrests in Illinois, Missouri, and
Florida.
He's got several open burglary cases.
I mean, well, Mr. Kersey, if you can't trust a guy named Vamula Patti, who can you trust, huh?
In any case, this was the second incident of its kind in as many days.
People being shoved into the subway tracks.
And the fourth since October 19.
Pushing people into oncoming trains apparently is the new knockout game.
They're having a lovely time doing this.
So far apparently nobody's been killed.
Once again bad shot placement I guess.
But the Police Benevolent Association President Lynch was commenting about this with what struck me as really quite a chilling commentary.
He says, Politicians have made it abundantly clear that they don't want cops enforcing transit system rules or doing any of the things necessary to prevent these terrifying random attacks.
In other words, if you've got bums living in the subway, or you've got people walking around obviously drunk or high or whatever it is, they can't do anything about that.
He says, that's their choice to make.
He's talking about the politicians.
But who is replacing us in these roles?
Nobody.
He says, while our elected leaders are closing their eyes and wishing the problem away, we recommend that all New Yorkers keep both eyes open wide while they're in our transit system.
Boy oh boy, you're on your own, says this guy.
Our elected leaders, they don't take the subway anyway, they get driven around in limousines, and of course they have armed guards who've got the finest firearms, while the rest of the population is disarmed.
But keep your eyes wide open while in your transit system, and especially concentrate on that set of eyes that are in the back of your head, because you never know when Vamula Patti is going to make a dash and shove you off onto the tracks.
But I believe you have a story for us about crime in Oklahoma.
You know, as usually happens, our time on these podcasts goes by so fast.
I want to make this quick.
I've got to go quick.
But this is one of those stories where once again, we see the Suspects actually brought into the narrative, which is usually left on the cutting room floor.
So here we go.
The title of the story was Black on Black Crime in Oklahoma.
What's being done to reverse the trend?
And the opening paragraph, I love this Mr. Taylor, it read this.
We've seen the comments on social media, whether it's people outraged by the shooting of George Floyd or Breonna Taylor, there's always that one comment, well what about black-on-black crime?
Fox 25 accumulated data from the Oklahoma City Police Department and FBI to see where the trends of homicide stand and what is the solution to slow the crime rate.
Oklahoma City, believe it or not, is 67% White, 19% Hispanic, 14% Black, 4% Asian, and 3% Native American.
And what we see is that, as you can view on the Oklahoma City Police Department website to provide 5-year homicide data of suspects and victims, Black men between the ages of 2015 and 29.
I'm sorry black men between 2015 and 2019 had the highest rate for suspect and victims with an Average rate between 40 per year and mr. Taylor.
We talked about this before we started I went back and read this that does mean it wasn't 40% It was they were talking about 40 the actual number not some average Per year now know that you crunch the numbers And you pointed out that for the whole state, I believe I'm correct in saying that blacks are about four times more likely than whites to be murder suspects in the entire state of Oklahoma.
Am I correct with that?
Your numbers?
That's correct.
Okay.
So, one of the things about Oklahoma is that, as this article makes clear, Once again, this is one of those stories, usually when you see these type of reporting, they leave out the suspects.
This article didn't.
I love when they don't do this.
I think a few, about a month ago, we talked about Columbus, Ohio, where they actually pointed out Just how how onerous the the the crime of homicide was for for blacks Because they actually the police department in Columbus, Ohio points out who the suspects are and in this article we see that Ramiro Martinez is the vice president of the American Society of criminology and professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University He said that the higher rate for african-american men is based on population size.
He said this quote What happens then is there's few more, a handful of cases where the victims are black.
The rate swings up because the population base is relatively low, so we might see this artificial swing.
Exactly.
He then said, I think it's unusual for a state that doesn't have a number of dense urban areas that the homicide rates and the violent crime rates are higher in the state of Oklahoma than the national average.
I would have suspected they would have been hugging the national average or relatively low, end quote.
Well, what fascinated me about this story was, isn't there some activist lady who was asked about black-on-black crime?
There is, and I'm getting, uh, let me pull that up.
Uh, you know, it's, uh, you know, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's an amazing quote.
Um, make sure I get her name, right.
Let me pull back up here.
Uh, it's actually a local rap artist, JB Williams, and she's asked about black on black crime.
Ready for this?
I am.
Quote, I think of it as something we didn't create, something black people didn't create.
I've gone to juvenile detention centers and talked to the kids who have committed types of crimes that we're talking about, or who have been accused of committing the types of crimes that we're talking about.
Well, right.
They may be pulling the trigger, they may be killing each other, but that's not our problem.
Now, see, this is what is so fascinating to me about the way blacks react to all of this.
Not our problem.
You got us into this problem, you got us out.
Now, we don't have much time left, but I would like to talk about the new position that is opening up at Harvard for any of our ambitious listeners.
Harvard is advertising to fill a new position called Associate University Librarian for Anti-Racism.
And the pay is up to $240,300 a year, nearly a quarter of a million dollars to shove Ibram Kendi and Ta-Nehisi Coates down the throats of undergraduates.
And Harvard announced back in September that they want a library anti-racism team because they want to develop Harvard Library into, quote, exemplary anti-racist research library.
Now isn't that an ambition for them?
They went on to say that the current movement for racial justice in response to violence against black Americans has underscored the urgency of this work.
Wow, wow, wow, wow!
In other words, by appointing an associate university librarian for anti-racism, they're going to stop violence against black Americans.
Now, let me quote further from the job description.
The new librarian will, pay attention, identify and change systems, structures, policies, practices, and individual behaviors that perpetuate systemic racism.
Wow, that is a tall order.
So I guess if you can really manage that, it's worth $240,000 a year if you are going to stop these practices that perpetuate systemic racism.
But that is Harvard for you.
And once again, the job is still open, ladies and gentlemen.
You can contact them.
They're looking for people.
Apparently, you don't have to know about anything but the Dewey Decimal System.
You just have to be an absolute hotshot when it comes to anti-racism research.
But I believe that brings us to the end of our time available, and I'm sure that Mr. Kersey joins me in wishing you a wonderful and full of love and none of this social justice activism combat at the dinner table when you get together with your family and loved ones and celebrate Thanksgiving.
I can't stress enough how important it is that you enjoy every moment that you can with your family, because that's all that matters in life, Mr. Taylor.
And I wish you and your family, who I've had the honor and the joy of getting to know over these years, the greatest Thanksgiving possible.
And look, 2020 was a weird year, but it's up to us to make 2021 and every subsequent year phenomenal.
For our posterity.
So for Jared Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
We'll talk to you next week.
