‘Racism Causes Global Warming’

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
And today is January 21st, which makes it the first full day of the new Biden-Harris administration.
I like to call it the Biden-Harris administration rather than just the Biden administration because I suspect that Kamala Harris will be an important part of it.
Now, those of you who were paying attention realize that the nation's capital was on an extraordinary level of lockdown for the inauguration.
There were no fewer than 25,000 National Guardsmen, all of them vetted for impure thoughts by the FBI.
This is likewise unprecedented.
You had to make sure that none of them were going to turn their guns on the incoming administration because you just never know these white National Guardsmen.
No.
The FBI passed and blessed every single one of them.
Not one neo-Nazi among them.
Now, there were three bridges closed into the Capitol to keep this horde, the hordes of white supremacists that they expected, all armed to teeth with bazookas and armor-piercing rounds.
One of the bridges ordinarily carries 200,000 cars a day.
It was a bit of an inconvenience.
Four square miles of the Capitol were barricaded off.
You couldn't drive in there.
Checkpoints and everything else.
It was really the most heavily militarized occupation of the Capitol ever.
And I would like to make a comparison.
Those of you who are history buffs may recall that in July of 1864, Jubal Early, the great Jubal Early, Confederate General, he attacked the city and he had with him no fewer than 14,000 men and 40 cannons.
Now, history buffs, like my co-host, may know just how many Yankee soldiers there were in the Capitol who saw off Jubal and his 14,000 men and 40 cannon, 21,000 Yankee troops.
That's 4,000 fewer than the number of National Guardsmen who were guarding against this imaginary army of white supremacists who are expected to come pouring across Potomac on those fortunately closed bridges.
That, I mean, that kept them out for sure.
And they were going to disrupt the inauguration and who knows what they were going to do.
In any case, this was just an absolutely astonishingly futile and stupid beating of the air because at the same time the FBI had warned that there were going to be assaults on every single state capital.
Were you aware of that?
Not only was I aware of that, but they did such a show of force at the state capitals
all across the country.
And I think in some cases the so-called protesters were outnumbered by the journalists.
Protesters such as there were.
Because there were no protesters.
Just one journalist was enough to out distance protesters.
Here's a history question for you.
I've got to ask you.
How many troops do you think were in the capital during the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln?
The first.
Oh, the first?
Gosh, very few.
You had already had, I think, nine states to seed at that point, so there was a lot of tension.
Now, the uprising in Maryland had not yet taken place, had it?
Oh, I'd guess they had maybe a thousand.
That's exactly, it's barely a thousand.
Yes, yes.
So his inauguration had a thousand troops and already several states have seceded.
But boy, we have to have 25,000 because, as we all know, it was white supremacy, red in tooth and claw, that attacked the Capitol on January 6th and they had to guard against any repetition of that.
But yeah, in these state capitals, some of them had put up fences with razor wire on them.
Some of them had boarded up all the ground for windows.
And all of this in anticipation of those wicked white people who are going to descend with their assault rifles and who knows what, disrupt the democratic process.
The hysteria about this is breathtaking.
And let me read to you.
Our dear listeners, some of the headlines that were attributing every single motivation to one only, and that is white supremacy in terms of the occupation of the Capitol.
CNN, January 10th, it said the Capitol attack was white supremacy.
Plain and simple.
The Washington Post, January 15th, the seditionists made clear what their attack was about.
White supremacy.
And they're seditionists, of course.
Anybody who marched into the Capitol is a seditionist.
The Guardian had a great headline.
I mean, The Guardian.
They're British.
They know, of course.
Insurrection Day, colon, when white supremacist terror came to the U.S.
Capitol.
This time it's terror, not just white supremacy.
It's terror.
The Atlantic It explained that, quote, the Capitol riot was an attack on multiracial democracy.
I guess they went out and asked every one of them, why are you here?
Why are you walking into the Capitol?
Oh, we're attacking multiracial democracy.
I'm sure that's what every one of them would have said.
I saw some signs actually that said, we're here to overthrow multiracial democracy.
That's right, down with multiracial democracy.
Every one of them was waving a sign like that.
Now, here's a fellow at the Brookings Institution.
Well, he explained, and I quote, the domestic terrorists, they're all domestic terrorists now, the domestic terrorists showed America they fundamentally believe in maintaining and enacting white supremacy.
They were there just enacting white supremacy.
All those thousands?
And an article called White Riot.
I mean, this is all over the place.
The New York Times.
The august New York Times.
It said, white supremacy and frank racism are prime motivators.
Again, I guess, you know, I actually know slightly the guy who wrote that article, Thomas Edsel is his name.
He used to cover some of us wicked people.
I would have expected him to know better than that.
White supremacy, where do they get this nonsense?
Do they talk to them?
Can they read their minds?
I guess they can read their minds.
From what I understand, the majority of the people who showed up and decided to do this, we'll talk about it in a few moments, but it was the I don't even know what it is!
It's pronounced Q-anon.
Well, you are a square.
You're not into Q-anon, boy?
I am not into Q-anon.
After briefly looking into it years ago, it was like, okay, you know what?
There is no plan.
All you goofs, you want to be like Linus waiting for the great pumpkin to show up.
I think this is the most ridiculous headline of all about the takeover.
It redefined white supremacy as a form of treason.
What does that even mean?
These guys marched in.
Well, that was treason, I guess.
And since they're white, they had to be white supremacists.
And now white supremacy is the same as treason.
Well, they carried American flags, so the American flag.
It's also a symbol of white supremacy.
Well, that's right.
You know, the Ku Klux Klan waves the flag, and the flag, the flag of old glory flew over slavery for many, many years longer than the Confederate flag did.
Furthermore, now this CNN article that redefined white supremacy as a form of treason, they went on to say, the Capitol riot has made it much more difficult for white Americans to deny our country has a huge problem with white supremacy.
Again, what on earth are they thinking?
Where does that even come from?
Well, I guess because nobody's going to contradict them.
Exactly.
It's quite incredible.
But here's another piece of fantasy that I have to tell you about.
This was from a Washington Post article of January 15th.
Once again, just the delusions from which these people suffer.
I guess the theory seems to be if you get more than 10 people, 10 white people in one place, it's really a Klan rally.
Even if they say that they're trying to stop the steal, even if they think that they are correcting a mistake, In this shady system that's supposed to represent the world of people, so long as it's white people involved, it's white supremacy.
Remember we talked about last week when we learned that people had turned down the Grammy Awards because they were all white?
Even the left has been trained so well to understand that they must reject Their whiteness, even when it's an accolade for singing songs about, who was it?
Martin Luther King!
Yes, and you know the great lady who sat down for half an hour on the bus and has been famous ever after?
Rosa Parks!
She's going to be on the dollar bill, by the way, I'm sure.
Oh, no, that's a very good bet.
But in any case, along these lines of white supremacists under every bed, here was an article that really struck me.
It was from the Washington Post, published January 15th, and it's about multiracial whiteness.
Yet another, you know, like colorblind racism, multiracial whiteness.
And these are the opening words.
The Trump administration's anti-immigration, anti-civil rights stance has made it easy to classify the president's loyalists as a homogeneous mob of white nationalists.
It makes it easy for this author to think everybody who supports Donald Trump is part of a homogeneous mob of white nationalists.
But, this woman goes on, Take a look at the FBI's poster showing people wanted in the insurrectionist assault on the U.S.
Capitol.
Among the many white faces are a few that are clearly Latino or African American.
Good grief!
What are they doing there?
What are they doing?
Well, she says, and she goes on to say, one of the more unsettling exit poll data points of the 2020 election was that a quarter to a third of Latino voters voted to re-elect Trump.
Now, this lady, well, we'll talk about her later.
She, of course, is a Latina.
And she is very upset about it.
Is that your trademark colloquialism?
No, no, no.
But then she goes on to say this.
One of the organizers of the Stop the Steal movement is Ali Alexander, a Trump supporter who identifies as black and Arab.
My goodness, what's going on?
And the chairman of the neo-fascist Proud Boys, they're neo-fascist, mind you, is Enrico Taddio.
A Latino who identifies as Afro-Cuban.
So, boy, this lady is really, really confused.
But no, but she's got it figured out.
She's got it figured out because, as she says, I call this phenomenon multiracial whiteness.
In other words, these people are really white, whether they know it or not, because they're acting white.
Multiracial whiteness is an ideology invested in the unequal distribution of land, wealth, power, and privilege.
In other words, it's an awful thing, awful thing, multiracial whiteness.
If you believe in inequality, you're white, you see.
It's a form of hierarchy in which the standing of one section of the population is premised on the debasement of others.
And if you're part of that, then multiracial whiteness reflects an understanding of whiteness as a political color and not simply a racial identity.
In other words, if you're selfish, if you think, if you're part of what she thinks is some sort of political ideology according to which your wealth depends on the poverty of others, makes no difference what race you are, but you're white.
In other words, it's a horrible thing.
And all horrible things are white.
So anybody who thinks these things is either white or an honorary white.
Just makes you white.
Are you quoting from her?
No, no, no.
It sounds almost indistinguishable.
Indistinguishable from what she actually would say.
Yes.
And this mental gymnastics that goes on to try and say, well, okay, wait a second.
We basically tried to brand these Tens of thousands of people who... No, 74 million people!
Exactly, obviously.
But again, think back to... Put yourself back in January 6th and think how much the world has changed.
There were legitimate concerns and grievances that were going to be addressed by Senator Ted Cruz, by Senator Hawley, and there was going to be a debate for probably, what, a couple weeks?
I believe they had the opportunity to... maybe for a week, I believe.
It was two hours, two hours per state.
My point is this.
You wake up that morning and you think, okay, you know, he might not, obviously it's a pipe dream to think that Trump is going to somehow be inaugurated.
Oh, that's not a pipe dream.
It's a foolish, fevered fantasy.
It was, it was.
But the point is, Again, the way that the corporate media so quickly jumped in and scooped up this incident to, like you said, to brand every Trump supporter.
And again, even if you are, maybe you were a lapsed Trump supporter, how do you get indulgences for that?
Because if you supported Trump in 2016 and you were white, do you still also bear some of the burden?
Well, that's a good question.
That's a good question.
Apparently, it was easy to classify all of his loyalists, that's 75, 74, 75 million people, as a homogeneous mob of white nationalists.
But let me read this thing over again here.
Multiracial whiteness is an ideology invested in the unequal distribution of all the good things in life.
And if you believe in that, then you're white, whether you're actually black or Hispanic or anything else.
Then here, multiracial whiteness offers citizens of every background the freedom to call Muslims terrorists, demand that undocumented immigrants be rounded up and deported, deride BLM as a movement of thugs and criminals.
Again, it's the same thing.
She thinks all of these things are horrible.
And she can't imagine anybody but a white person saying illegals ought to be deported.
And so anybody who says these things is a white person.
It's just incredible.
That's multiracial whiteness for you.
That's why you're an honorary white if you do any of these horrible things.
And she concludes with this, In the post-Trump era,
the challenge will be to prevail over the extremism of Trump's white majority
while trying to prevent the politics of whiteness from becoming an increasingly multiracial affair.
That's the big challenge ahead.
Now this is by Christina Beltran.
Ah!
Beltran.
Now, she works at the intersection of Latinx politics and political theory.
What's the intersection at which you work?
Definitely, I wish I could say that it was the intersection.
Intersection.
Something to do with Latinx, but it was not, no.
Anybody who works at the intersection of anything, it seems to me, ought to get out of the way because there might be a truck coming.
Now, she is also an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University.
This is nobody.
And her new book, I'm going to read this.
Because this has to be reviewed.
Her new book is called, Cruelty as Citizenship, How Migrant Suffering Sustains White Democracy.
It examines why many in the Republican Party experience acts of cruelty against migrants as a form of democratic pleasure.
What is this?
I'm sorry, a form of democratic... Pleasure.
Pleasure.
Pleasure.
Cruelty against my... In other words, if you tell the uninvited guest to go home, you are experiencing this as a form of democratic pleasure.
She's written a whole book about this.
Euphoria.
Interesting.
Now, I must add that this article on multiracial whiteness, no comments were possible.
I have a feeling that even the readers of the Washington Post would have just wondered about the sanity of somebody who would write something.
Because, once again, I think this really is the fundamental idea, and I apologize if I'm repeating myself, but this woman seems to think that anything bad politically is a white idea.
Yeah.
Anything bad is white.
Obviously.
And so, even if you're black and you agree with it, if you agree that illegal immigrants should be sent home, you're white.
You're white.
You're just part of the white supremacist mob that attacked the homeless.
I don't think you, you don't watch much television, but I don't think you can comprehend what's been going on the past couple days.
You know, Pat Buchanan's got a great column where he talks about what that inauguration meant.
You know, this Uh, just published today on the first day of Joe Biden's full presidency, January 21st, as you said, I believe Buchanan is, um, is he on the AR site?
Oh, yes.
Okay.
So I highly recommend people check it out.
Ameren.com, take a look at Pat Buchanan's column, because like a lot of you, I did not watch President Biden's inaugural address.
You did?
I did not.
I must confess.
However, I heard that he basically grew under the PMP.
It was basically the rededication of American ideals to the 1619 project and castigating all Trump supporters as people who need to be not removed from society, but you are a racist, you are a You know, we aren't yet at that dehumanizing language, Mr. Taylor.
I think you should be careful about quoting from a speech that you did not hear and about which you read second-hand, but be that as it may, let us be cautious.
Let us not attribute misdeeds to others that we can't prove are actually factual.
But, did he use the word white supremacist in his speech?
He did.
I'd like to read you a quote from it.
Okay, fire away.
These are his very words.
The forces that divide us are deep and they are real.
Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the other harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, and demonization have long torn us apart.
Wait, white supremacy does not occur in that sentence?
Uh, it gets to... You're putting me on the spot here.
I'm reading his...
But for history, isn't nativism as well as... While you hunt for it, while you hunt for it, I will talk about something.
I know you hunt hard, and I will give you a spell.
I will spell you while I talk to our listeners about Amanda Gorman.
Those who missed the inauguration missed the inaugural poem.
Inaugural poems are something that only Democrats seem to commission.
The first one was by John Kennedy.
At his inauguration in 1969, he had Robert Frost unleash a poem.
A lot of whiteness on that day.
Awful lot of whiteness.
Robert Frost.
Boy, he's about as white as you can get.
Watching woods fill up with snow and all that.
Very white.
But then the genre went silent until 1993.
For, yeah, for 24 years there was no poet laureate, no inaugural poem.
But Bill Clinton had Maya Angelou read a particularly sorry specimen of a poem.
And I remember I was so amused that Joe Soberman, he said, at moments it actually achieved doggerel.
At its best, it managed to achieve dog roll.
In any case, it was so bad that for his second inaugural address, he brought in a white man, a fellow named Miller Williams, a fellow Arkansas fellow.
Now, of course, Barack Obama had a black person, a poetess, of course, the light-skinned Elizabeth Alexander, of whom you've probably never heard and probably never will.
But she unleashed his first inaugural poem, but then for his second inauguration, he branched out to an openly homosexual Hispanic immigrant, but a man, a man named Richard Blanco.
His name was White.
Richard the White.
Richard Whitey, of whom I had never heard and of whom I've not heard since.
But, so this year we got yet another black poetess.
And her name is Amanda Gorman, who at age 22 was the youngest person ever to deliver a poem at a presidential inauguration.
I looked into Amanda.
She is from California, where she attended private schools and then went to Harvard.
She was the Youth Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, and she was the first ever National Youth Poet Laureate.
At age 17, she published her first volume of poetry, and at the same age, she opened the literary season for the Library of Congress.
I don't know exactly what that means, but it can't be any mean feat, especially for someone so young as that.
However, According to her Wikipedia, her work, her poetry, is heavy on oppression and marginalization.
Now, does her background make it sound as though she has ever even come within a mile of an act of oppression and marginalization?
I bet at Harvard she learned all about oppression and marginalization.
No, she's been bathing in whiteness and basking in whiteness almost her entire life.
I don't know whether it's whiteness, but she's certainly been basking in privilege.
Privilege of one sort or another.
Privilege of any sort automatically has to go back to being...
I wonder if she's a multi-racial white person.
I don't know.
to and that's where it's going to go.
I wonder if she's a multiracial white person.
I don't know.
If I could bring up one thing, you just brought up a great word.
Well, no, no, but let me finish with this.
You know, have these people no sense of irony?
Private schools.
Harvard.
One honor after another.
And she's only 22 years old.
Apparently she has designs on the White House herself.
She plans to run one of these days.
She thinks she deserves it.
And this lady writes poems about marginalization and oppression.
It just takes your breath away.
So now the floor is yours.
Well, what took my breath away is I had not heard that word dog roll in years.
I actually kind of thought I knew what it meant and I was right over the top of it.
For those listeners across the planet who might not know what that word means.
Wait a minute, are you underestimating?
I'm not underestimating, but I just think because it's important to really showcase how hilarious Joe Zerban's quip is.
Yes.
When at moments it rose to mere doggerel.
It rose to the level of doggerel.
Okay, so here's the loosely styled and irregular measure, especially for burlesque or comic effect.
So it's poetry that is irregular in rhythm and in rhyme, often deliberately for burlesque or comic effect.
But, as you mentioned, Maya Angelou's work was not written in that.
It was supposed to be taken seriously.
And she's our greatest poet in the history of our country.
And as Joe Sobern so eloquently put it, At her best moments, it achieved a dog roll.
Exactly.
So I just wanted, again, I never underestimate our amazing audience.
We love and appreciate each one of you.
In fact, not only do we love and appreciate each one of you, we want to make sure you stay in touch with us.
Mr. Taylor, how can our fantastic audience make sure that they get the latest edition of the email?
Well, the best thing is to go to amarand.com.
AMREN.com and go to the contact us page and there if you give us your email address you can get our weekly email newsletter.
And that'll highlight all the best articles, podcasts, videos, etc.
All the things we've done.
Also, and this is something that we have not asked for lately on the podcast, and that is we love to hear your comments and questions.
Sometimes we have corrections.
Those I find are the most interesting things.
If we've made an error, We crave correction.
Mr. Kersey and I love to speak the truth, and when we stray, it is always by accident, and we wish to be corrected and brought back to the paths of righteousness.
So once again, Amren.com at the Contact Us tab.
You know, you could probably write a fantastic book.
You could probably create a fake CV and come up with a fake non-diplom as a I think you could probably come up with so many new jargon.
It'd be fun.
But the thing is, this is a cottage industry right now.
individual who's writing a book about multiracial, white racism. I think you could probably come
up with so many new jargon. It'd be fun. It'd be fun.
Oh, but the thing is, this is a cottage industry right now.
If you go to the airport and you go into bookstores, there are still a few bookstores at
airports. It is uncanny how many books on white racism, white supremacy, white
privilege, implicit bias, structural inequality litter the shelves.
Mr. Kersey, Mr. Kersey, it's not a cottage industry.
It is a massive, round-the-clock, high-tempo, huge company, massive factory industry.
The amount of trees that are killed to put out these books?
Oh my goodness, these people think they're good for the environment?
No, they are not.
But, I did want to talk about, after having locked down not only the U.S.
Capitol, in an unprecedented way, as I say, even though the Civil War was raging and the Confederate Army was at its gates, They were few soldiers.
And you know, it wasn't just the National Guard.
They had the beefed up Capitol Police.
They had Homeland Security.
They had the City Police all on alert.
I wonder how many firearms were there.
It was probably the most militarized moment in the entire history of the United States Capitol.
I'm sure when the British came in in 1813 by then, I guess, they had far fewer, far fewer people guarding the place.
But be all that as it may, Well, we strive for authenticity here, and you asked me to find out in the inaugural address if he mentioned the dreaded WS combo.
He did.
I would like to read here.
Here we go.
Quoting President Biden, and I quote, a cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making.
moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer. A cry for survival
comes from the planet itself, a cry that can't be any more desperate or any more clear. And
now a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and
we will defeat.
To overcome these challenges, to restore the soul, and to secure the future of America requires more than words.
It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy.
Unity.
Did he say something about the planet?
What did he say there?
Let me go back!
Because that's a good introduction to another point that some of his minions are up to.
A cry for survival comes from the planet itself.
A cry that can't be any more desperate or any more clear.
I think that's enough.
That's enough because you may not have known this.
I mean, I did not know this, but racism causes global warming.
Did you know that?
I can hear the planet crying it out right now.
I hear it.
If you listen, everybody stop what you're doing just for a second.
We're going to be quiet for two seconds.
Did you hear it?
I heard it.
The planet's crying out, obviously.
That's the source.
White supremacy.
Well, the fact is, Joe Biden, Uncle Joe, has named Maggie Thomas as Office of Domestic Climate Policy Chief of Staff.
And also, he has named yet another lady, Cecilia Martinez, as a climate activist, and she is Senior Director for Environmental Justice.
Now, what environmental justice is, I'm not sure, but I hope she knows what it is.
Now, both...
Ms.
Thomas and Ms.
Martinez have cited racial inequality as perpetuating climate change.
Racial inequality is making the seas rise, Mr. Kersey.
Racial inequality is making the polar ice caps melt.
And they argue that the Biden administration's environmental policy must be centered on racial and economic justice.
Again, I don't understand.
I just don't understand.
And as Martínez, Cecilia Martínez says, as only a wise Latina would be able to understand, unless intentionally interrupted, systemic racism will continue to be a major obstacle to creating a healthy planet.
Systemic racism is sickening the planet, Mr. Kersey.
Obviously.
I mean, that's, again, I heard that's what the planet was crying out.
You're right.
We're not loony, right?
I mean, I hear the planet crying.
The planet is crying.
Stop those horrible white people.
Oh, God.
Yes.
So these people have got official positions in the Biden administration.
Wow.
It do take all sorts.
But to return to the whole question of this white supremacist, insurrectionist, seditious takeover of the temple of democracy, I understand that this is all planned on Facebook.
Well, we're learning increasingly.
Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg has turned over private messages of people that are believed to have been at the Capitol.
These are the direct messages where people have conversations, there are groups.
Obviously, we saw even before the election, a number of major pages got purged.
Facebook was a massive platform that was highly successful.
Allowing Donald Trump to even become president in the first place.
Well, it's very hard to assess just what impact Twitter and Facebook had on getting him elected, but be that as it may.
Yes.
And the point, again...
The point is this.
We are now beginning to learn that these people who came to Washington, they were utilizing technologies such as Facebook and the Twitter, which of course you are famously banned from, to discuss and to plan this.
So this was premeditated.
So here's what we got here.
So I read this from Paul Joseph Watson's Very fantastic site, Summit News.
Okay, let's assume that it's correct.
One has to have a healthy skepticism, but anyway.
Yes.
So, what we're learning, there's a growing body of evidence that shows Facebook played a much larger role in the storming of the building than COO Sheryl Sandberg has previously acknowledged.
She claimed that the events were, quote, largely organized on platforms that don't have our abilities to stop hate.
Don't have our standards and don't have our transparency.
In other words, we could have nipped in the bud, but these low-grade places like Gab and Parler are there to blame.
Yeah, what we're learning is that the Washington Post reported that a great deal of the Capitol Hill riot was planned on, like I said, Facebook.
So the Washington Post is doing some Not hagiography, but actual journalism.
And they're finding out that they accused her of deflecting blame and they enlisted the help of the vice president with the Coalition for a Safer Web, Eric Feinberg, who discovered 128,000 Facebook users.
Still discussing the hashtag stop the steal on on Monday Apparently these are all banned terms So basically what they're saying is you've got all the you claim to have all this gatekeeper against hate and yet we're able to find out all these affiliated terms because did you know that Facebook has basically made it so that you can't even take that phrase in and So I understand.
Stop the steal.
But now wait, the Washington Post accuses her of deflecting blame that she very much deserves.
Exactly, exactly.
The Washington Post is, well, okay.
So in addition, Zero Hedge, quote, two dozen GOP officials and organizations and at least 12 states coordinated bus trips to the rally via Well, but that's different.
That's not the same thing as saying, let's go get battering lamb rams and charge the place.
The point is this.
Everybody who went to that rally is automatically the bad guy.
Then again, everybody who voted or ever supported Orange Man Bad is also now tagged under that same net and ensnared in that net like a dolphin.
Tuna fish, you know, people.
But anyways, the point is this.
Yes.
Twitter and Facebook have basically come out and they've said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this can't be.
Because what we learned is obviously the attacks on Parler.
Remember what happened?
Amazon deplatformed Parler very quickly when it was said that this was all done.
And we've seen intense, increasingly vitriolic attacks on Gab, Andrew Torba's site.
Now, of course, they've He actually put out a statement on Gab, which I found was hilarious.
It was, quote, Gab calls on Facebook and Twitter to be banned from Apple's from the app stores following the Capitol riot.
Because, again, we're going to we are going to learn that, you know.
Well, this is planned on them.
Of course, if the Washington Post is blaming Facebook for this, it seems to me they have only one objective in mind, and that is for them to hire another 10,000, another 20,000 censors to make sure no thought of which they would not approve shows up on Facebook.
To censor even harder.
Isn't that the ultimate objective, if they're accusing them of this?
Seems that way to me.
Obviously, again, under Section 230, obviously, Facebook and Twitter aren't responsible for any of the content posted by users, but that same protection doesn't help out Parler or Gab, now does it?
Nope, sure doesn't.
Obviously, I believe that everybody should have access to Facebook.
I believe that everybody should have access to Twitter, as long as they are operating under the rules governing Civilized discourse.
No, of course.
Well, now, that's pretty vague, Mr. Kersey.
It's vague?
I guess that's sort of a libertarian note.
No, they don't even have to be civilized.
They can be wild.
They can have bones through their noses, as far as I'm concerned.
But they just have to not break the law.
That's all.
That's a better gap.
Yes, yes.
But of course... Whatever is not forbidden by the law should be permitted on all of the... Were you one of the first people to be banned, or was that Milo?
Oh, I wasn't one of the first.
Milo was banned several months before I was.
Okay.
But be all that as it may.
Well, you know, if they're claiming that Facebook is to blame and Facebook helped stir it up, the insurrection, blah, blah, blah, I'm sure this is just another excuse to censor more.
That's what the appeal will be.
Oh, I'm sure.
Stop the hate stuff.
I'm sure we'll see.
Is Breitbart even still on Facebook?
I don't even know what milk toast conservative sites are even on.
I don't know.
I don't look at Facebook anymore.
Well, they won't let me, so I have no choice in that.
But, oh boy.
Well, now, don't you have another story about... Have you completed this little thought?
I have.
And the other story that I have, I think, is also quite interesting.
Was there a segue you wanted to do a tosser?
No, no.
About the Democrats tossing money to these people who are, it seems to me, accused of aggravated assault.
Yes!
Prominent female Democrat Party officials in North Dakota donated hundreds of dollars to a GoFundMe account for a far-left activist who has been charged with attacking Senator John Hoeven, a Republican in North Dakota's office, with an axe when confronted over the funding Over the funding, the donors chose to make excuses and deflect from the issues at hand.
Now, who was the gentleman?
Backtrack.
Not a gentleman.
Who was the dude who did this attack?
His name is Thomas Taz Starks.
He was 30 years old.
He was charged in an axe attack on Hoeven's office that occurred in December of 2020.
So this is a Republican that he's attacking?
Yes, yeah.
This is a Black Lives Matter activist.
White guy, by the way.
In surveillance footage of the incident, a man police have identified as Stark strolls up to the office entrance and wildly hacks at the intercom system and door, destroying both.
Now, I don't think you can raise money on GoFundMe, can you?
Have you ever tried?
I've never tried.
I wouldn't even attempt.
I mean, Kyle Rittenhouse couldn't raise money on GoFundMe, so there you go.
In January, a GoFundMe page for Starks was set up asking for contributions to a $15,000 legal defense fund.
The donation page description lionizes Starks as a hero who, quote, openly believes that no family should live in poverty, that no American should go hungry, and that all North Dakotans deserve a good life and livable wages.
Yes, and that all Republicans deserve to be attacked with an act.
Yes, yes.
So, the North Dakota Democrat Party Chairwoman Kylie Overson, Democrat Party official Ellie Shockley, and former Democrat gubernatorial candidate for Lieutenant Governor Ellen Schaffee.
Immediately stepped in to transfer cash, donated $100, $500, and $100 respectively.
Now, why this was known is because on GoFundMe you can put up a little thing where you can you can virtue signal to all your friends and say how much you donated.
Well, this is a stark contrast.
An absolutely stark contrast to those who just walked through an open door into the Capitol and those guys are facing hard time.
And here Democrats are actually giving money to a guy who starts wailing away like, what did he plan to do when he get in?
Use the axe on the Republicans?
This is quite incredible.
But, well, I guess that's Democrats for you.
They're all in favor of aggravated assault so long as the victim might be a Republican.
One of the Democrat Party official, Ellie Shockley, described Starks as a friend and defended her payments, declaring, quote, human relationships should come before political expediency, end quote.
Starks attended a Black Lives Matter protest in Fargo back in June of 2020, where activists
rioted in downtown, destroying property, terrorizing local citizens.
He said that, uh, uh, complaining about police brutality, he doesn't have to worry about
any of this because quote, his family doesn't have to deal with it as many issues as African
Americans since his family has light skinned unquote, the white privilege, you know, gives
him the opportunity to not only go attack a GOP office with an ax, but to get a lot
of money raised from Democrat officials.
Well, you know, the people who really seem to be enjoying white privilege of a remarkable
kind are the folks who actually did go rioting on inauguration day.
Despite all of these lockdowns at the Capitol, all these lockdowns all around the various states, where were there riots?
Well, to my surprise, the New York Times actually had a big article about where there were riots.
This is the opening sentence of an article.
It said, protesters in the Pacific Northwest smashed windows at a Democratic Party headquarters.
March through streets and burned an American flag on Wednesday.
This is Inauguration Day.
In a strident challenge by anti-fascist and racial justice protesters.
They're on the right side of history, Mr. Taylor.
To the new administration of President Biden, whose promised reforms they declared won't save us.
These are anti-fascist and social justice protesters back to what they do best, breaking windows, burning American flags.
Now, in Portland, Oregon, lines of federal agents in camouflage, now working under the Biden administration.
Ha ha ha!
Says the Washington Post.
Gotta get that squared.
Blanketed streets with tear gas and unleashed volleys of welt-inducing pepper balls as they confronted a crowd that gathered outside an ice building downtown.
Some in the crowd later burned a Biden for President flag in the street.
And, as you know, the Capitol was braced for this imaginary white supremacist army.
And who's actually burning flags and breaking windows?
As the Times confesses, another tense protest in Seattle saw dozens of people push their way through the streets with some breaking windows, spray-painting, anarchist insignia.
One banner said, No Cops, Prisons, Borders, or Presidents.
No, they landed on the line.
Protesters also smashed windows at a shop often described as the original Starbucks in downtown Seattle.
I've walked by it.
I don't patronize Starbucks, but I've seen the place.
You don't want to race together?
No, I prefer to race apart.
But one sign in the crowd said this.
We don't want Biden.
We want revenge.
These are really nice people.
Revenge against whom?
Probably against the world.
And another one said, we are ungovernable.
Now, these are people, at least in the case of Portland, who've been rioting night after night after night after night.
They may be ungovernable, but I think that they can be found and arrested.
Quite easily.
We talked last week, though, about all the cases that were dropped by the DA in Portland.
We've seen that in Brooklyn.
I know there was some rioting in Brooklyn or in New York City a couple nights before Biden's inauguration yesterday on the 20th.
It's going to be interesting to see if this continues, because this goes back to Buchanan's column, which I highly recommend all of our listeners go read.
Everything happening now is on Biden.
You no longer have Orange Man Bad to claim, because guess what, guys?
He's been banned from Twitter.
Did you know that he's not completely banned yet from Facebook?
They're going to have a committee, an oversight committee, to decide whether or not he is
going to be allowed.
They might let him back on again.
They might.
They might give him the privilege.
But again, Trump isn't communicating.
That's the thing that I find so fascinating about the post-Trump world is he has been
silenced.
Well, yes, but of course.
It's not as though all black people suddenly stop committing crimes.
It's not as though all white policemen will suddenly miss when they shoot at a guy who deserves to be shot.
There is gonna come one of these deaths at the hands of a white police officer.
They're gonna go riot again.
But you see the big difference is Joe Biden has promised to root out white supremacy, so he's on the side of the angels.
He's even at least going to try, whereas you know that Donald Trump was encouraging white supremacy.
Well, the planet cries for this.
The planet is crying.
It's yelling.
That's right.
Joe can hear the cry of the planet.
Save me from white supremacy, says the planet.
And Joe says, I hear you, buddy.
It might just be me, Mr. Taylor, but if someone claims that the planet is speaking to them, that's probably someone you don't want to have the nuclear codes.
It's someone you don't even want to be around.
No, no, no, no.
But, you know, but this, this brings us back to another big problem.
As I said earlier, When they got these 25,000 locked and loaded soldiers to protect Joe Biden from this insurgent army of vicious neo-Nazis that was on its way.
The FBI told them it was on its way.
Had to have them all there waiting.
Well, they had to vet every single one of them to make sure they themselves are not neo-Nazis.
And the New York Times has a little story about this.
The Pentagon is intensifying efforts to identify and combat white supremacy and other far-right extremism in its ranks.
As federal investigators seek to determine how many military personnel and veterans joined the violent assault on the Capitol.
In other words, if they were military involved in breaking and entering or just strolling through, they were white supremacists by definition.
We all know that by now.
They're grappling with their fears.
pro-Trump mob, mob.
Breached the Capitol on January 6th.
Senior leaders, the 2.1 million active duty and reserve troops
have been grappling with fears.
They're grappling with their fears.
It keeps them up at night.
That former or current service members will be found among the horde.
Now it's a horde.
But the New York Times about what happened in Seattle, they weren't a horde.
No, those were social justice activists.
But they're hordes and mobs when they're on the wrong side of history.
Now, And the authorities have identified at least six suspects with military links.
This is dangerous.
These people know how to shoot a gun.
Can't have them being on the wrong side of history.
And this means a new urgency for the Pentagon, which has a history, according to the New York Times, of downplaying the rise of white nationalism.
Did you know it had such a history?
I did not.
Well, it does.
Federal agents said, because listen to this, Timothy Hale Cusinelli, who was involved in the riots, The riot at the Capitol.
He was part of the Horde.
Okay.
He is a reservist from New Jersey and he is, says quote the New York Times, a neo-Nazi and a white supremacist.
Now, just what evidence?
No, no, they don't need any of that.
Come on.
Evidence?
Are you kidding?
In any case, he's a neo-Nazi and a white supremacist and he also works with a secret level clearance at a naval weapons station.
Do you hear the planet talking to him?
That's the only qualification, if you don't, that then you deserve to be in the military.
I hope you, well, you know.
Anyways.
But the Defense Department Inspector General announced an investigation last week into the effectiveness of Pentagon policies and procedures that prohibit service members from advocacy of or participation in supremacist
or extremist groups.
Well, the procedures must not be working very well if they have an out-and-out, unambiguously
identified neo-Nazi and white supremacist who got a top secret, got a secret clearance.
But white supremacist or extremist groups.
Now, I'd like to know who the extremist groups are.
I guess they're all sort of variants of white supremacy.
Now, the United States military, unlike police departments and other law enforcement groups, has the ability to use extremist beliefs to disqualify those seeking to join.
That's right.
If they decide that you are a thinker of impure thoughts, you can't even sign up.
Now, do you know what another disqualifying feature is?
Whether you've got tattoos.
Certain tattoos.
The confederate flag, I imagine, is bad.
Oh, the confederate flag is bad.
I think an iron cross is bad.
Probably the OK.
If you write OK on your left pectoral, that's probably bad.
But physical examinations, you know, they look them over head to toe.
You know, they strip them naked and they look for tattoos.
Make sure that even in the most intimate parts of the body, there's no forbidden signs.
Did you see that article at QuartzQZ.com?
It was a headline, decoding the flags and banners seen at the Capitol Hill insurrection.
I did see that, yeah.
So you have to wonder, can a serviceman even have the don't tread on me flag anymore?
You know, that's pretty doggone bad.
What about the Blue Lives Matter flag?
That's very suspicious too.
I should think that was very suspicious.
I think anything, anything but BLM, you know, is probably a forbidden tattoo.
If you say, I love Lucy or whatever, that's probably no good either because Lucy is probably a white woman and a white supremacist.
But, now this is even better.
Troops are continuously monitored for indication that they are involved in extremist activity and they receive training to identify others around them.
Who could be insider threats.
I have a name for this policy.
It's called Do Ask, Do Tell.
Yes, you're constantly spying on your messmates.
I'm trying to think what country this reminds me of that Solzhenitsyn wrote about.
It's incredible.
It's incredible.
They've received training how to identify others who might be slipping into white supremacy.
And just established within the Defense Department is part of the Inspector General's Office.
And I hope that this is a typo in the New York Times, that this isn't the official title, but...
He is a Deputy Inspector General for Diversity and Inclusion and Supremacist Extremism and Criminal Gang Activity.
It should be Supremacist Extremist and Criminal Gang Activity, but it's Supremacist Extremism and Criminal Gang Activity.
So, extremism.
See, I really want to know.
They talk about white nationalism, white supremacy.
What's extremism?
Is there any other kind?
I suspect not these days.
So our army, our armed forces are being very, very carefully sifted to make sure that they are the good guys, that they have not thought anything.
I guess in the future we'll have a fighting force that resembles almost entirely that fabled Tuskegee Airmen Unit, and I'm sure the Chinese will be quaking in their boots, shaking in their boots, terrified, mortified at the thought of facing off against 21st century red tails.
You know, that's the thing.
You know, when the Chinese The idea that we might be at war with the Russians, but the way these people in the administration talk about the Russians, it's always a possibility.
Any potential enemy is going to look at our armed services and they're going to think, what?
Transsexuals?
Men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men?
We're supposed to be fighting them and now they want women in the special forces?
Oh boy, that's going to be very, very tough.
We're going to talk about some of the things that Biden did on his first full day as president, but I do want to point out something you just mentioned.
Do you know one of the things Mr. President Biden did today?
He undid the whole ban on women in sports.
I'm sorry, men playing women's sports.
Oh, did he?
Yes.
Okay, so as long as I can claim to be a woman, I can go and beat up girls in the basketball team.
You should actually go try out for the 7th grade basketball team in Oakton and say that, hey, why are you discriminating against me?
I might be a 70-year-old man, but I actually identify as a 13-year-old girl, a black girl, so I should be able to play.
I never got the chance to play basketball.
Yeah, age is just a social construct.
Exactly, exactly!
How dare you discriminate against me?
You're onto it.
Some of you intrepid people out there, you should consider taking advantage of this opportunity.
Well, you know, it was Ramsey Paul who I think had the greatest idea.
He said, well, if all this stuff is just a social construct, I'm going to announce that I'm a woman.
And that means I can go into ladies locker rooms because I'm a woman.
And then I'm going to tell them I'm not only a woman, I'm a lesbian.
So I'm going to snuggle up to all these women in the ladies locker room because it's all in your mind, right?
And they're going to have to believe me.
Sex is fluid, right?
I guess, I guess.
Sexual orientation, I should say, is fluid, obviously.
Touch your mouth.
Now, tell me about Biden's first day in office.
What were the mighty, mighty works that he accomplished?
Let's roll the ugliness.
Oh, dear.
All right.
He has suspended new admissions into Trump administration's migrant Migrant protection protocols through executive order on his first day in office eroding a critical protection against asylum fraud and illegal immigration enacted by President Trump.
You might remember this was the Remain in Mexico anti-asylum fraud policy, which it was quite effective.
It sure was.
It kept them all out.
In other words, they can come into the United States to say asylum.
And then while we are mulling the question, which always takes months and months, maybe years,
they get turned loose into the United States.
That's what's going to happen again.
At a time where large portions of the country are still locked down,
businesses are shut down, schools are closed, people have lost their businesses, small businesses,
you know, alcoholism is up because of this COVID lockdown.
Well, we need more people who are out of work.
Exactly.
And I wonder if they're going to be eligible for the stimulus once they get it.
Of course!
The Migrant Protection Protocols mandated that the overwhelming majority of migrants who present themselves at the southern border and request asylum wait for the full adjudication of their asylum cases in Mexico as opposed to the United States.
But not anymore, right?
From tomorrow, they can just swoop in.
Yeah, this policy which declined illegal immigrants a quick and easy pathway.
As you noted, Mr. Taylor, they can say, Oh, see, we'll be back when the court hearing happens.
Nope, they snuck off into this evil, oppressive white supremacist society to seek out their fortune in the land of the Nord.
So they can make dubious asylum claims and guess what?
They're in like Flynn.
They're allowed in and I think that is That's it from that.
So there we are.
Biden with the stroke of a pen.
What I would argue was President Trump's greatest actual implementation of something that was part of his agenda he ran on has been Keep them out.
Wiped away.
You know, I wonder, now the Democrats are all terrified of COVID.
Are they at least going to give them a PCR test before they turn them loose?
And if they fail the PCR test, are they going to detain them?
And if they detain them, are they going to detain them with their children or without their children?
That'll be an interesting test, won't it?
Again, we talked about this briefly last week.
You've got the Brunswick Ahmaud Arbery trial coming up.
You've got the Chauvin trial, the Minneapolis situation.
You have, on the first night of Biden's presidency, the Antifa are out there in Seattle.
Oh, but there'll be no trials of those guys.
No, no, no, no.
They're the shock troops of the establishment, folks.
Quit with the double standards.
Come on.
This is the standard.
The point is, Things are so interesting now.
They had this idea that this was going to be a return to normalcy, that the bad four years are over.
But you know, if you think about it, President Trump at any point during that horrible violence
in May and June in Washington, DC, he could have done what Biden had for his inauguration.
He could have called out all the troops.
They could have patrolled.
You know, there were stories that they were gonna give shoot to kill orders if people showed up
at the inauguration.
Have you seen this crazy story?
Who was the guy who ran for governor in Virginia, Kim Cuccinelli?
He said that there was a request for like machine gun turrets to be just this crazy use of force.
I haven't seen that.
So this could have been like World War I. You know, all of this, these waves of white supremacists come swarming up out of the trenches and the good guys get to mow them down with machine guns.
That's what they were fantasizing?
You know, my point is this.
Joe Biden, in a lot of ways, Even though he's basically, you know, the planet's talking to him.
The point is this.
We don't know if the planet's talking to him, but it's talking to everyone.
We're just not listening because our ears are too impacted, not with wax, but with white privilege.
The point is this.
Maybe those out there who are lamenting the demise of Trump, who, you know what, spoke a good game, but let's be blunt, guys.
The idea of Trump is far better than the execution of Trump in office.
The point is this.
Now Biden inherits a country that is... All the same problems.
And now they're going to be amplified because you can't blame Orange Man bad.
He doesn't have a Twitter.
But you can still blame white people.
Well, you're always going to be able to blame white people until white people say no.
Until white people say, you know what?
No.
And I think that is the catch-22 of this whole situation.
Now you have 75 million people who are being called a white supremacist.
Now you have 75 million, you have boomers.
You have people who, who look at this country, who look at what's happening, who look at, uh, some of the things that were said yesterday about this was the greatest address ever.
You know, CNN was basically, they were, they were, it was orgasmic watching them, uh, or seeing them watch Biden be inaugurated.
And, uh, I'll tell you there's, A lot of people out there who probably never thought politics are finding out that politics never stopped caring about them and thinking about them every second of the day.
I'll tell you what.
Things are going to get interesting.
Well, again, I am impressed that the New York Times actually covered these Portland Seattle riots.
The fact that people are saying Biden is not going to do it and they're breaking the windows in the Democratic Party headquarters.
I wonder if we'll see more of that.
Why not?
No, as I say, these are interesting times.
And as usual, Well, we have so much to say, we have so little time to say it, but every week seems to be the same.
So many things to say.
And so we bring to a close yet another podcast.
And on behalf of my co-host, Mr. Kersey, I thank all of you who do give us your attention every week.
