Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and the date is February 11th, Year of Our Lord 2021.
And I'd like to start with a little story about patent racism.
Racism is everywhere, of course.
The New York Times is on the beat all the time.
You know, I think the paper really needs a new name.
They should call it Jim Crow Update.
Daily Jim Crow Update.
But in any case, on February 9th, a big story.
On the problem of blacks and patents, it pointed out to begin with that Joe Biden has signed an executive order on its very first day proclaiming a, quote, whole of government equity agenda.
And of course, we know that equity these days is not the same thing.
It's equal opportunity.
It's equal results.
Because this order requires the head of each federal agency to identify and seek to redress structural inequities.
Well, the problem with patents is that from 1975 to 2008, fewer than 1% of the people who got U.S.
patents were black.
Now, let me quote from the New York Times.
Whether that's due to structural issues in the Patent and Trademark Office or to systemic barriers black people face that make them less likely to apply for patents is unclear.
But it's got to be one or the other or both.
There is absolutely no possibility in the mind of the New York Times that they just don't apply more often or they just don't come up with more inventions.
It has got to be either structural racism in the patent office or systemic barriers that keep blacks out.
But the point is, The agency's colorblind approach, which means that the agency doesn't even know the race of patent applicants and doesn't care, this means it doesn't collect demographic data about the applicants.
And because patent examiners, when they're examining a patent, do not know the race of the applicant, we just don't know how much racism there is.
And since we can't fix what we don't measure, the next director must make changing this a priority.
We've got to track down every racial aspect of this, because if they're only getting less than 1% of the patents, somebody's got to be blamed.
And the New York Times is on the trail.
And one of the solutions, of course, would be to appoint a black as head of the patent office.
That's the New York Times solution for everything.
Of course, There's no comment section to this because even the New York Times, some of their readers are likely to say, well, hold on.
If we don't even know the race of the applicants, how can the U.S.
patent office be discriminating against them?
Well, I guess, you know, there's some sort of way that we just know that they're black and we're just doing it anyway.
But I suppose I should have started off by pointing out that we are in the midst of Black History Month.
And Black History Month means that if you're a white quarterback and you win the Super Bowl and your opponent is a... Well, I'm sorry.
If you're a white quarterback and you win the Super Bowl and your opponent was black, then Twitter is going to erupt with accusations of racism.
It is racist if a white quarterback beats a black quarterback in the Super Bowl Black History Month.
But, moving to something a little bit more serious.
A little bit more serious than Tom Brady's, what, 7th Super Bowl win?
8th Super Bowl win?
This was, I believe, his 10th appearance in the Super Bowl.
A record 7 victories.
By the way, he's 43 years old.
And, yeah, there's a great article over at amren.com you can check out by the great Gregory the Hood.
Maybe Gregory of the Hood?
Let's call him Greg Hood.
Point is this, read the article to see the insanity that erupted when this 43-year-old quarterback won his seventh Super Bowl during Black History Month.
That was part of the problem.
That was really part of the problem.
But turning to something even more serious, I understand that the Biden administration has decided not to deport black criminals because of Black History Month.
Mr. Taylor, I thought this story was from the onion.
Maybe Babylon Bee.
But in the current year, anything is possible.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, what you would what you once would have thought would have been, you know, sardonic or a joke, it's reality.
So here it is.
I'm just going to give you the headline.
And I want your immediate reaction.
Biden regime halts deportation of criminal African migrants due to Black History Month.
I think we should stop arresting any black criminal during Black History Month.
For heaven's sake!
Can't deport them!
So they're going to have three hots and a cot until the end of Black History Month and then will we deport them?
Or do they just get a permanent stay because they got rounded up during Black History Month?
Well, it doesn't say.
The acting ICE director, Tay Johnson, like I said, halted deportation flights of criminal African migrants because they were scheduled during Black History Month, according to a report in the Washington Post.
Here's what the Washington Post reported.
Quote, when ICE scheduled a deportation flight to Africa for earlier this month, lawyers and activist groups sent urgent requests to political appointees at the White House and DHS, asking them to intervene.
Their request asked for the administration to give the deportees More time to pursue humanitarian claims and immigration courts.
Noting that the flight to majority black countries had been scheduled during Black History Month.
Email show.
Within hours, the acting director of ICE wrote to senior staff, stopping the deportations.
Is this really a serious... You know, I really ought to check on this.
I really ought to check on this.
And I'm going to report back to listeners next week whether this, in fact, happened.
Because, as you say, this does sound like the onion in the Babylon Bee.
I guess we now live in the midst of the Babylon Bee every time we look around.
Well, not only do we live in that, we also live in the midst of a executive branch that has report that has mandated that
quote ice officials canceled operation talent a nationwide operation targeting
sex offenders subject to deportation that had been planned in the final
weeks of the Trump administration end quote so not only not only are criminal
African Africans allowed to stay in the country instead of being deported
during Black History Month but one of the first things that President Biden did
was to undo operation talent to declaw operation talent so that these
sex offenders mr. Taylor dear listeners around the world get to stay in
the United States of America
White privilege indeed.
Well, hey, they might all be Scandinavians.
I bet they're all Danes, these sex offenders that were about to be round up and can now stay.
But moving on to other matters, there are a number of stories here about universities.
It's quite a little collection, so hang on, ladies and gentlemen.
The first has to do with a long and fawning profile in New York Times Magazine of someone by the name of Dan L. Padilla-Peralt.
He was born in the Dominican Republic.
And his father left him when he was a child.
He actually had to spend some time in a homeless shelter with his mother where he says the food was nasty.
Poor boy, the food was nasty.
But apparently he was a bright lad.
He got a full scholarship to Princeton and then he got various degrees, a PhD, and now he teaches classics at Princeton University.
Well, now He has started speaking openly about the harm caused by the practitioners of the classics in the two millennia since antiquity.
2,000 years of evil.
It has all been justifying slavery, race science, colonialism, and Nazism, as well as other 20th century fascism.
Did you know that Homer and the Aeneid justified Nazism?
Apparently so.
Now, classics was a discipline around which the modern Western University grew, and Professor Padilla believes that it has sown racism through the entirety of higher education.
Just studying Latin and Greek will make you a racist, it seems.
You gotta unravel it all then.
You certainly do.
Now, some classicists, under the leadership of Professor Perrault, they've come around to the idea that their discipline forms part of the scaffold of white supremacy.
Classics played a role in constructing whiteness, and perhaps the field also had a role in dismantling whiteness.
And, as Professor Padilla himself says, if one were intentionally to design a discipline whose institutional organs and gatekeeping protocols were explicitly aimed at disavowing the legitimate status of scholars of color, one could not do better than what the classics have done.
How did he get in?
I mean, you know, you get these guys who swan to the very top of a profession and they say all it does is keep people of color out.
And by the way, this guy is a Dominican.
There are photographs of him and he is quite the chocolate drop.
Nobody would say that he could pass for a Mexican.
But, he says, he says the field is, the field of classics, this is classics, Latin, Greek, Roman history, is equal parts vampire and cannibal.
He's got a poetic touch.
And he says, it has been a dangerous force that has been used to murder, enslave, and subjugate.
He says, classics, now here's a great line, classics and whiteness are the bones and sinew of the same body.
They grew strong together and they may have to die together.
Well, it's funny, the bones and the sinew, but what about the blood?
What about the organs?
I mean, dude, you left out so many metaphors there.
Well, it's all part of the same thing.
But classics, he says the field may just have to be done to death.
The very own field in which he's a professor.
It may just have to be done to death.
But this is great, because classics and whiteness grew together, they may have to die together.
Not just classics, but whiteness too.
Well, we know that.
I mean, one of my favorite authors is Victor Davis Hanson, and he wrote a book I'd recommend all of our listeners check out.
It's called Who Killed Homer?
And he was lamenting the death of the classics back in, I think this book came out in the late 1990s?
Maybe the early 2000s.
Fantastic.
It's one of his best works.
He does phenomenal stuff.
Obviously, Mexifornia was a great book.
He was a professor at a university in California.
You know, the book lamented the fact that this bedrock, as this gentleman alludes to in 2021, was already being unraveled and being attacked for being racist and for promoting the ideas of dead white males.
And that had to go.
But I guess it's just got to go.
I wonder what he will do for a living if the Classics Department of Princeton is done away with.
I'm sure he'll land on his feet doing something.
What was the book, Mr. Taylor, if I could ask you, because you're so learned, what was the book that the The Professor Emory wrote about the attempt to base a claim that the Greeks were black.
Black Athena?
Wasn't that it?
Was it Black Athena?
I think it was.
It was a woman who wrote it.
I can't remember her name.
I'm not as learned as you.
It was a massive debunking of this Afro-centristic view of European history to try and basically claim... The idea is the Greeks, everything the Greeks knew, they stole from the Africans.
And the crazy thing about it is once they stole the Pythagorean theorem from the Africans, the Africans no longer had it.
They forgot it!
Well, no, it was stolen from them, you know?
Where did it go?
The alphabet too, you know, the wheel, all that was just stolen from them.
And then, you know, they just couldn't have it anymore.
A squared plus B squared equals C squared, which is probably why that story you did earlier about the patent office makes so much sense.
We're just stealing all their ideas.
Stealing all their ideas.
So there you go.
But hear this.
It's just amazing to me.
Breathtaking.
Hear this guy.
He just swoops in from the Dominican Republic and tells us that by studying our cultural roots, it turns us into racists.
And so the field has just got to go.
And one rather revealing thing he said in his interview with the New York Times Magazine author is, I don't see things like free speech or the exchange of ideas as ends in themselves.
I have to be honest.
I see them as a means to the end of human flourishing.
In other words, free speech is not an absolute concept or an end in itself.
We know that from the left.
But it's remarkable when they admit this.
He says, basically, I see it as the end of human flourishing.
Namely, his flourishing is what it boils down to.
So there you go.
Now here, another tale from the crypt, as it turns out.
Did you know that Al Sharpton is now a distinguished guest lecturer for the spring semester at Tennessee State University?
Tennessee State University is the renowned HBCU, I believe.
Is it located in Nashville?
It's an HBCU.
I don't recall where it is.
It may very well be in Nashville.
And he will give lectures on political science, Civil rights and social justice.
And Glenda Glover, the president of Tennessee State University.
She is very melanin-enhanced.
I checked her out.
She says, his presence means our students will be able to engage with a piece of history at a time when his insight is more relevant than ever before.
A piece of history!
I think some of our listeners might consider him a piece of something else, but he's a piece of history.
And now this is something quite fascinating, too.
I suspect he won't even have to move a muscle to get down there because it's all going to be done by Zoom.
I doubt.
He didn't have to show up.
I wonder how often it is.
Maybe once a week, once a month, twice a week.
Who knows?
But he will get, as you would say, get this.
$48,000.
$48,000?
That's nice.
Just one semester.
I wonder if that's going to go to his non-profit or if... so how that's going to be distributed to him.
Oh, I suspect it'll go straight into his own pockets.
That's a $10.99, so I guess he could write that flight off then.
No, he won't have to fly.
Or maybe he'll pretend he flew.
I suspect it's all just going to go zoom, zoom, zoom right into his own pockets.
And yes, you're right.
It is a historically black college or university.
I suspect, in this case, a university.
But you'll be relieved to know that it just got a million dollars from FedEx.
Oh, great!
Yes, so it's got money to splash around and pay out shopping to be a distinguished guest lecturer.
You know, it might actually be located in Memphis because FedEx's global headquarters is in Memphis.
And before you move on to the next story, I would like to throw out the book title because we are individuals who like to make sure we are correct with everything.
So I looked it up real quick.
Mary Lefkowitz wrote this book in 1996.
It's called Not Out of Africa.
How Afrocentrism became an excuse to teach myth as history, to put a bow around the story you just talked about.
These myths are our history.
And the fact that that guy said, the classics and whiteness must die together.
Well, guess what?
If they die together, no one's going to even care to know who Homer is.
No one's going to care to read Virgil's Aeneid.
You know, maybe Black Athena was one of the original works that claimed it was all black to begin with.
So I got it completely wrong.
Learn it though you say I am.
Well, she wrote this book basically because she was brave.
I mean, I remember reading about the arrows that she took to even say, hey, this is nonsense.
Yes, it's nonsense.
What are you?
I'm sorry, Socrates?
Black?
What?
Aristotle stole his ideas from the library in Alexandria?
What are you talking about?
Do we owe the underlying tenets of our democratic civilization to the Africans?
Of course!
But continuing in a university vein here, the University of Southern California, just late last month, a fellow named Greg Patton, a professor, was teaching a lesson on filler words.
He's an expert on communication.
He's in the business school.
Filler words, that's like er, um, or like when you don't know what to say and you got to fill in something.
This was a master's level course and he said in China, One of the common pause words, or filler words, means, essentially, that, that, that.
And in China, you say, ne-gat, ne-gat, ne-gat.
Makes sense.
Black students were offended.
You know why?
Do the pronunciation again of the three words.
I don't know if I'm doing it right.
I'm just reading.
Ne-gat, ne-gat, ne-gat.
Well, they said this sounded like something that just made their skin crawl.
We are burdened, they wrote to the Dean, we are burdened to fight with our existence in society, in the workplace, and in America.
We should not be made to fight for our sense of peace and mental well-being in the classroom.
So, there you go.
Professor Patterson was replaced.
Now, there is a little bit of resistance to this.
One petition for his reinstatement, and of course he had absolutely no idea that he was going to offend anybody by making this sound, but apparently anything close to it, you know, if you think anyone is niggardly, oh boy, you're out of the classroom for sure.
But one petition for his reinstatement has now got thousands of signatures.
Furthermore, 94 of his alumni, many of whom are Chinese and now live in China, They wrote their own letter to the Dean expressing support for Professor Patton, and they did something I think is highly significant.
They evoked another context, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and they described it as a situation in which spurious accusations against innocent people escalated into institutional insanity.
I thought that was very well put.
You know, what do you think the Chinese, you know, you haven't had a chance to travel abroad.
I don't think during this whole coronavirus, the China virus, we can call it that anymore, whatever it's called.
Actually, that was one of Biden's first executive orders.
Remember?
Oh, you can't call it the China virus.
It's xenophobic and racist.
That's right.
That was one of his first executive orders.
But you know, it's still very common to talk about the variants of the COVID virus as the South African variant, the Brazilian variant.
The one that was found in the UK?
The UK, the British, yeah, the British variant.
But the mother of them all, the original coronavirus, can't say it's Chinese.
No, you can't.
But what do you think, you know, what, you know, guys in Singapore who are his students, you know, I mean, what are they thinking as they watch this great nation that, you know, 51 years ago, you know, sent men to the moon, and now we're having We're having academics, basically, who use a word that is prolific in virtually every rap song that you hear.
Well, he didn't use the word, for heaven's sake!
You know he didn't!
Oh, I know he didn't!
I know he didn't, but again, it's... It's something that vaguely sounded like this word.
And, obviously, he wasn't trying to insult anybody, he was just giving an example of a Chinese version of uh, uh, uh, uh, you know, uh...
But anyway, yes, no, the Chinese must think of that and say, wow, we came out with the skin of our teeth after that cultural revolution.
Look at those idiot Americans going through their very own.
But here's another example.
Donald McNeil.
He was a star COVID reporter for the New York Times.
Well, apparently it has come to light only now that in 2019, he and the New York Times sponsored a trip to Peru for high school students, and he was asked at dinner by a student whether he thought a classmate should have been suspended for a video that she made as a 12-year-old girl in which she used a certain racial slur that apparently black people think of if you say, nuh-gah, nuh-gah.
Speaking Chinese.
Chinese, you're speaking Chinese.
Well, uh, but, and he wanted to say, to understand what was in the video, I asked her if she'd called someone else the slur, or whether she was rapping or quoting a book title, and in asking the question, he used the slur himself.
So now, two years ago, it turns out that he used this slur in a question.
Did she use this unspeakable word as an insult, or simply as just quoting someone else, or what?
Well, now he's got to be fired.
First of all, he apologized.
He said, I should not have done that.
Originally, I thought the context in which I used this ugly word could be defended.
I now realize it cannot.
Deeply offensive and hurtful.
The fact that I even thought I could defend it showed extraordinarily bad judgment two years ago.
And so for offending my colleagues and for anything I've done to hurt the Times, I'm sorry I let you all down.
Well, he thought he was going to get away with that.
But, and the bosses at the New York Times said, okay, we're going to give him another chance.
But do you know why they couldn't give him a chance?
It's because a group of 150 Times staff members sent an outraged letter to the publisher A.G.
Sulzberger saying our community is outraged and in pain and they have to give him the heave-ho.
Outraged and in pain.
Outraged and in pain.
Whiteness and the classics have to die.
This is kind of just these stories.
It's insanity.
It is insanity.
And as you say, you know, the Chinese, to the extent that they follow this stuff, and I suppose some of them do, they must be wondering, what are Americans and other Westerners doing to themselves?
So, yeah, as I say, the Times is going to give this guy another chance because he apologized.
He groveled.
He said, even by using the word under any circumstance, I brought shame upon the New York Times, but no, out you go.
There you go.
And then one last university story here.
Michigan State University.
Over the past five years, Nearly 1,200 MSU students and staff members reported racial discrimination incidents.
Every one of them, of course.
The staff leapt on with great alacrity, sussed them out, but only 8 out of 1,200 truly violated the school's bias and discrimination policies.
Only eight.
Only eight.
Okay.
1,200.
That's over the past five years.
So it's not even two per year.
And I'd like to know what they actually were and who the culprits were.
I bet not all of them were wicked white people.
And Campus Reform, which is a pretty good publication.
Campus Reform independently confirmed this data with the Michigan State University Office of Institutional Equity, and they did not explain, alas, what these particular incidents were.
However, not even two years, remember, but still, Tanya Jakimek, I don't know just how melanin-enhanced she is.
One never knows with some of these names.
She's the head of the Office of Institutional Equity.
She reported that her committee is looking at how and where our policy is able to address and be part of the solution to breaking down systems of oppression in our university.
Not even two incidents a year, but they've got systems of oppression.
You know, what they've got is systems of hysteria.
When you've got these 1,200 reports that turn out to be absolutely nothing, even by their standards.
This entire paradigm we're forced to live under is such a glass house.
No, no, no.
What's a better way to describe it?
It's been built on sand.
You know, in the Bible they say never build a house on sand.
This entire paradigm, this entire You've used the word insanity, Mr. Taylor.
I don't think that's even strong enough in a lot of ways.
Because really, you look around and you start to think, this is the darkest timeline imaginable.
You know, you think about, you know, decisions you make in life and where things go.
You're like, okay, if I had done this, it might be a little bit better.
But now it's as if the entire Western world has basically been thrown into the throes of Chaos and insanity and this insatiable lust to find hate, this insatiable desire to show that, oh my gosh, not only the classics have to go, whiteness has to go, everything has to go.
We have to keep black criminals, African criminals in the United States because it's Black History Month.
Their feelings might be hurt if they were deported during Black History Month.
I mean, this is, I mean, think back when you started American Renaissance.
It was paradise by comparison.
The United States was a healthy, racially conscious, white nation by comparison.
Ah, incredible.
And really, it's been in the last, not even a year, really, the post-George Floyd world is, in some respects, I'd say qualitatively different from the pre-George Floyd world.
Well, we've talked about this before on the podcast.
We've mentioned that a lot of this started with the Trayvon Martin and then the Michael Brown, this wokeness, how white liberals viewed, you know, Whites versus non-whites.
I can't remember the guy's name who put up all those great graphs.
We're blanking on names here.
But the point is this, we've been steering off course for a number of years, and it just took that one incident, like you said, the George Floyd, to be the catalyst for the 1619 Project remaking America in the Black Athena image.
Well, here's yet another example.
And after we've finished with this, we can get to one of your stories about a congresswoman, I believe, by the name of Cori Bush.
But before we move on to Cori, did you know that there's a campaign now in New York City called She Built New York?
And it's based on the fact that of New York City's 150 statues to historic figures, only five depict women.
That is a crisis and a horror.
So, this program called She Built New York aims to rectify that imbalance and ensure that New York's full story is told for generations to come.
Now, so far, they have chosen seven, quote, pioneering women who will get statues in the city.
Believe it or not, one of them is a white woman.
Just one?
Well, what do you expect?
One of seven?
I'm astonished there's even one.
Now, and I'd actually heard of two of these people.
I mean, what's the time when they dredge up these obscure people that are heroes of their race, built New York, they're people I've absolutely never heard of.
Brooklyn will get a statue of Shirley Chisholm.
She was the first black woman elected to Congress.
Did you know that?
I did, actually.
And she paved the way, as they say, for women of all backgrounds to run for public office and her statue is being erected at the entrance of Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
Oh, good for Shirley.
Another one, the other one that I'd heard of is Billie Holiday, the jazz singer.
Her statue will go up near the Queens Borough Hall.
Now we start moving into somewhat more obscure territory, or at least for me.
Manhattan will get a statue of Elizabeth Jennings Graham.
Who, you ask, was she?
Well, she challenged racial segregation well before the Civil Rights Movement, when on July 16, 1854, She boarded a streetcar that prohibited black passengers and refused to leave until forcibly removed by the police.
1854 or 1954?
1854.
1854.
Yes, Rosa Parks.
Renamed the city for her.
1854.
1854.
Yes, Rosa Parks...
Renamed the city for her.
Yes, before her time.
And Graham's Monument will be erected next to Grand Central Station.
Fair enough!
You can get a streetcar at Grand Central Station, right?
Anyway, that's where she will be.
Elizabeth Jennings Graham.
And next!
The Bronx will be the site for Dr. Helen Rodriguez-Trias.
She was an advocate for neonatal care for underserved people.
Hispanic, of course.
And she served as the medical director of the New York State Department of Health's AIDS Institute and was the first Latina director of the American Public Health Institute.
She's probably somebody fairly important, but she's going to get a statue in St.
Mary's Park in the Bronx.
Now, here comes the honky lady.
Staten Island will be honored with a statue of Catherine Walker.
You will never guess what she contributed in the building of New York.
For 30 years she was the keeper of the Robbins Reef Lighthouse.
A real credit to her race.
And so her statue will be erected at the Staten Island Ferry Landing.
For 30 years, she was a lighthouse keeper.
Now, Manhattan.
Manhattan is really going full tilt here.
Manhattan is going to get a statue of Marsha P. Johnson.
And this is what the description on the website of She Built America says.
Though she struggled with homelessness, Johnson devoted her life to advocating for gay and transgender street youth, sex workers, and people with AIDS.
Towering in red plastic heels and floral wigs, she was a captivating figure who caught the attention of Andy Warhol, who photographed her.
So, she was a gay rights, transgender youth, etc.
Now, if you look a little further into her, you can find out that she was arrested more than 100 times for prostitution.
Or what her Wikipedia biography calls survival sex.
This was survival sex because she worked, she struggled with homelessness.
And as she struggled, she had to engage in survival sex.
Wikipedia also says she never did transition.
and was really a man all her life and considered herself a drag queen.
So, I don't know whether you should really call her she or he.
I don't know how she referred to herself.
She's been dead for some 20 years now.
Easy with the pronouns there, pal.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Yep, you're right. You're right.
I could get canceled any minute.
In any case, she, he, or it will share a monument in Greenwich Village with a dear friend by the name of Sylvia Rivera.
Now, this is from the She Built New York website.
Abandoned by her father at birth and orphaned at age three when her mother committed suicide, Rivera was raised in New York City by her Venezuelan grandmother.
Sounds rough.
She left home at age 11 to escape criticism of her gender-defying ways and lived on the streets, surviving as a sex worker.
I guess there's another way of saying that she was a boy and her Venezuelan grandmother didn't like it when her grandson started wearing makeup.
That's what Wikipedia tells us.
The website says that she too was a pioneering transgender advocate and so she will share a joint monument with Marsha P. Johnson, the sex worker who towered on high heels and wore bouffant wigs photographed by Andy Warthal, who also lived on the streets.
And guess where their monument will go?
This will be a real test of your knowledge of Manhattan neighborhoods.
I must confess, I don't know that much about Manhattan, but wasn't there, where's the famous gay event that took place?
Stonewall.
Stonewall.
Greenwich Village.
Okay.
She will be, they will be in the village.
Yes.
The two of them.
Boy oh boy.
Both of them lived on the streets and were sex workers, but man, they built New York.
New York, New York.
And now this is just the beginning.
Bill de Blasio, he wants to make his mark on New York, and these are the people who built the city, and we should be lucky.
Actually, one out of seven was white.
You know, the one statue that I actually like in New York City, I think it's still there.
It's in Wall Street.
You know, you've got the bull, and there was that girl, the little white girl.
It's obvious she's white.
She's got pigtails.
And I was always shocked that people had that as a symbol of defiance, standing in the way of the evil free market, because It's a little white girl.
Well, you know, they put her up afterwards.
The bull was there long before.
Oh, of course, of course, yeah.
She's staring it down.
And of course, it's a strong, proud female.
But she's white.
Yes, that is a shock.
That's problematic.
Worse than problematic.
It's a sin.
She's going to have to get a facelift, or a face lowering, or whatever it is, and turn it into something else.
But speak to me, speak to me, sir, of Cori Bush.
You know, this is one of those gotcha articles from the Federalist.
Headline was this.
Will Cori Bush be stripped of committee assignments after encouraging prison riot?
This past weekend, there are more than 100 St.
Louis inmates erupted into a prison riot, flooding the detention facility, smashing windows, launching items out of the building from several stories up, including chairs, mattresses, and even a stationary bike.
Now, as somebody who I know, you're big into fitness, that's a travesty to destroy something as useful and utilitarian as a stationary bike.
So the explosive unrest came over inmate frustration related to coronavirus, China virus, pandemic restrictions
that limited visits and stalled court proceedings.
115 inmates were involved with the week in chaos, which was described as quote, extremely
violent and noncompliant.
So despite their destructive acts, the group found solace in their local representative, St.
Louis-area Democrat, as you mentioned, Rep.
Cori Bush, who offered the rioters her support on Twitter.
Quote, a riot is the language of the unheard.
Quoting, Only if you're a black prisoner, I suppose.
Exactly.
If you're a white person who thinks the election was stolen... Sit down, shut up, get on your knees, and beg for apology for ever electing Donald Trump in 2016.
And break rocks for 10 years.
Yep.
So, quoting civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, she then said, quote, I want to talk to my constituents in the window.
Their lives and their rights must be protected, end quote.
Now, of course, this all happened after the Democrats stripped Georgia GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, who I actually like a lot.
Do you?
This QAnon stuff is pretty spooky to me.
She's basically come out and said, hey, that's dumb.
Well, she has now.
She did say some pretty potentially violent things about some of her opponents.
The fact is, why is it that when you get somebody who ends up in office, they say things like that rather than Do you really think the average black person is as smart as the average white person?
I mean, that you could debate!
That would force them on their ear!
That would really make an important statement!
No, if somebody said that then, immediately, I think we're...
I think from a standpoint of, at this point, that causes people's heads to explode.
That's the type of thing.
Think what happened with Steve King when he gave that interview with the New York Times.
He was misquoted, of course.
He was misquoted.
Obviously he shouldn't be recording himself.
The point is this.
The left has to always have a villain.
There has to be a villain in this story.
Okay, look, of course she'd be a villain, but I guess you're suggesting not only would she be stripped of her committee assignments, she'd be kicked out of Congress if she said that.
I don't know.
Remember, Steve King voted to censure himself, didn't he?
I know, I know.
That's his problem.
That's his fault.
Well, anyway, let's get back to the story.
The whole point of the story, as The Federalist says, it's, look, if Marjorie Taylor Greene can come under fire, For what she said and in this unprecedented vote to strip her of her committee seats.
So these Democrats' new standards, why can't somebody come up and do the same thing to rep Cori Bush?
So we're basically in this dangerous new game now where, you know, one of the things that I liked about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mr. Taylor, was the fact that she said the first thing she was going to do was file articles of impeachment against Biden.
Yes.
I'm okay with that type of, this is the new world we're in.
And it's, you know, looking at these executive orders that we're seeing, I mean, the fact that, again, it's Black History Month and, you know, Tom Brady's being attacked for winning the Super Bowl.
African criminals are being deported because of Black History Month.
I like the fact that someone like her steps up.
And she's also said some very fascinating things about white males being attacked and being the brunt of so much scorn and antipathy from the elite.
Okay, okay.
That's good.
I'll let you date her.
I think she's married.
Well, I think she's a goofball.
I'm sorry.
I guess my sense of dignity and propriety is somewhat offended by it.
On what grounds is she going to impeach Joe Biden?
Come on.
What high crime and misdemeanor has he committed?
Has she even said?
I mean, I think she entered it.
She made her, she went through the motions of this.
Have you ever read the thing?
No, I haven't.
Okay.
I confess I haven't.
Yeah.
Because who cares?
In any case, she does have spunk.
We'll see what happens.
I don't think she'll be reelected.
Poor girl.
But let's see, where were we?
You're right, here's a lady actually encouraging people to riot.
But that's okay.
Language of the unheard.
That's okay.
She's one of our African-American fellow citizens, after all.
And she quoted our great icon, Martin Luther King.
So as long as you do that, it's okay.
It's really a pity that on January 6th, those people of the Capitol weren't going up and shouting, A riot is the voice of the unheard.
I'm sure a lot of people at that event probably would tell you that Martin Luther King was a Republican.
Didn't you know that?
You know that, right?
Well, so... I think he was a communist.
He was an out-and-out Marxist.
Yes, yes.
But anyway, let's see.
Moving on to someone by the name of Kate Hartson, of whom I had not heard until this very day.
And there is a New York Times story about her.
I'm really picking on New York Times, but I just find them a fascinating exercise.
Jim Crow Today.
I like that.
It's the Daily Jim Crow Update.
That's what it should be called.
Fighting redlining since 1945.
Oh gosh, since 1898.
Who knows?
In any case, New York Times points out that if you were a certain kind of distinctly Trumpy public figure, that's their word, Trumpy.
Trumpy?
Trumpy, yes.
Say Donald Trump Jr.
or Corey Lewandowski selling a book over the last four years, you had surprisingly few options.
Because we have big five publishing companies in New York.
Even their dedicated conservative imprints would not publish the genre known as MAGA books.
MAGA books!
MAGA books!
There you go.
Mega books, MAGA books.
But there was one last stop.
And that was on the fifth floor offices of the Hachette Book Group in Midtown Manhattan.
There, Kate Hartson, the editorial director of the conservative Center Street imprint.
She was the one mainstream editor who would buy what no one else would.
And make a bundle for an employer.
Brilliant.
Yes.
Well, this meant that employees were having their salaries paid by people like Donald Trump Jr.
Trumpy.
Trumpy bucks.
A Trumpy author.
Trumpy bucks.
I like that.
While they objected to publishing liberals who had fallen out of favor, such as Woody Allen or J.K.
Rowling.
They're beefing about, oh, We have to publish these wretches, but they're really making a living.
Thanks to Donald Trump.
Do you remember why J.K.
Rowling was cancelled?
Yes, because she said women are women.
And no amount of snipping and stuffing and tuning and drug-taking makes a difference.
Wasn't that the reason?
Well, she might not have put it in so eloquently, but yes, that is the reason.
Yeah.
In any case, yes, women are women and men are men.
Now, if you take that position, oh, you just do not belong in polite society.
Certainly, you don't deserve to be a millionaire authoress.
In any case...
Returning to Kate Hardson, the last book that she bought was the forthcoming Woke, Inc., Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam.
This sounds like a good interesting book.
Sounds great.
Very good.
It's by Vivek Ramaswamy, of whom I had never heard before.
And just last month, even as Kate Hartson was riding high with the best-selling political book on Amazon, namely Andy Ngo's Unmasked, Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy America, Hachette fired her.
They fired her.
Despite the fact, as I say, this book that she has is the number one political book on Amazon right now.
And this is because they just refuse to be associated with this kind of politics.
So it makes them green, keeps them in the black, but it's not the right kind of black.
It just makes them feel bad.
Now Simon & Schuster also, as you know, invoked a Morals Clause.
To cancel the publication of the book by Senator Josh Hawley that they had contracted to publish.
Hawley says he was suing them.
I don't know what's going to come of that, but Josh Hawley is going to be published by Regnery instead, which is, as you know, a well-established conservative outfit.
Of course.
And Simon & Schuster, believe it or not, Simon & Schuster used to publish Candace Owens, but they've said no more.
Nada más.
She's bad.
And of course, so many publishing employees are part of this trend in the publishing industry that first really became visible in 2017 when employers and writers insisted that Simon & Schuster cancel their book with Milo Yiannopoulos.
Remember when that happened?
You had this book all ready to go, and they said, oh no, this guy's no good.
It used to be that the whole idea of publishing was a reputable house would bring out all kinds of books, all kinds of different points of view.
Nowadays, the employees are all so woke, such snowflakes, that they can't stand the idea of actually working for a company that publishes somebody they don't like.
This is unheard of!
Well, what was the way that the black classicist talked about free speech?
In the story we talked about earlier?
Oh, he said it's part of the free speech.
The purpose of free speech, he doesn't accept it as an end in itself.
Speech, the purpose of speech is to advance the flourishing of humans.
And so I guess that's their view too.
If it doesn't advance their idea of the flourishing of humans, you just got to absolutely shut them out.
And you will recall that it was employees of the New York Times that forced out opinion page editor James Bennett for publishing an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton.
That's right, that's right.
A US senator who said send in the troops to put down, to put down the rioting.
I mean that was enough, you had an employee revolt.
And so they fired the editor who invited this op-ed piece from the US senator.
Senate.
That's one of the forgotten crazy stories of 2020, because you think about how violent these leftist, these Black Lives Matter, George Floyd victory parties were, whatever you want to call it, and Tom Cotton, you know, he's got the military bracket on, he put out a very reasonable, thoughtful piece, and he was just widely denounced, like you said, the revolt that took place, because this exchange of ideas, it's not allowed.
That's why going back to what you said, you know, Blacks are not as... What was the way you phrased the question?
About what?
About what Marjorie Taylor Greene should have said regarding... Oh, that the average black is not as intelligent as the average white person.
We're at a point now where even uttering that sentence, it disqualifies you from being able to have any participation in civic life.
Oh no, you're not part of the species anymore.
Yeah, you're not advanced humanity when in fact you're trying to do everything you can to stop The New York Times points out that once all these people get fired and all the big companies are going to refuse to do business with anybody that was previously in the Trump administration, or Trump for example,
What that means is all the big houses that can really promote books, sell millions of copies, and offer big advances, that's not going to be available to these politically incorrect authors.
Maybe Regnery will publish them.
Maybe some little tiny outfit will make people self-publish.
But you're not going to have the kind of real support that makes super-duper bestsellers.
It's just not going to be available.
So, in effect, Even though people will be able to publish.
I mean, heck, I can still publish books, but I can't sell them on Amazon.
Certainly no major publisher will run them.
You won't find them in bookstores.
That is what's going to happen to certain more conservative ideas.
Certainly, Trumpy authors are increasingly going to be relegated into the same narrow space where you find your servant.
Well, what's funny is, what exactly can conservatives say anymore?
They've been saying the same thing in these books for decades, and it's boring.
It's insipid.
It's gotten to the point now where, like you said, you basically have 74 million Americans are now being labeled domestic terrorists by this administration, basically.
No, no, no, no, not 74 million.
Come on, they're not domestic terrorists.
They may have to be re-educated, but they're not domestic terrorists.
Now, what you can say is this, and let me pick on WAPO instead of New York Times for a change, but we'll get back to a couple of stories that you have in store for us, but before, because we're on this subject, there's an article called, Who's Afraid of Josh Hawley?
And it says, Hawley is warning about deplatforming of conservatives, but the article says not to worry.
Don't worry, because who is being kicked off of social media?
As the Washington Post explains, it's people like the Proud Boys, who led the assault on the Capitol, and Jared Taylor, founder of American Renaissance, the leading white supremacist magazine.
So don't worry about who's being kicked off.
And they go on to say, they aren't being banned for voicing conservative opinions about tax rates, or school choice, or foreign policy.
They are the most vicious and dangerous bigots and demagogues in America.
In other words, what's left for conservatism is to voice opinions about tax rates, school choice, or foreign policy.
As long as you talk about that, you're okay.
But if you talk about the things you and I talk about, that makes you one of the most vicious and dangerous bigots and demagogues in America.
So that's conservatism for you.
That's what they're allowed to talk about, according to the Washington Post.
You know who just got kicked off of the Twitter today, don't you?
No, I don't.
Project Veritas and James O'Keefe.
Oh, there's no surprise there.
No surprise.
I mean, they've just been disinforming the public ever since they were born.
Disinformation.
Disinformation run riot.
But let's see.
You were going to tell us about the Dallas Mavericks.
The Dallas Mavericks.
Well, this story, again, we live in the era where Colin Kaepernick went from a guy that was universally scorned to a guy who's made far more money in his post-NFL career based on his idea that White cops are engaging in systemic racism, implicit bias.
They're gunning down innocent black and brown bodies nationwide.
So this National Anthem protest is reaching, I think, a crescendo here, Mr. Taylor, because the Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, came out and said, we're not going to play the National Anthem four games anymore.
You know, the NBA actually has a rule in place where everybody has to stand.
And you have to play it, and you have to stand.
Exactly.
Going over this story is kind of interesting because he actually has come back and he said, I never actually said that.
Of course we're going to play the National Anthem.
So, but the point is that the Texas lawmakers, they were threatening to target the Dallas Mavericks subsidies over the removal of the National Anthem.
Now, this is something that, this is sort of the seedy underbelly of professional sports is that a lot of metropolitan areas, they float these huge tax bonds to pay for these major stadiums to keep you know, because owners will say, if you don't bill me
this tax, this stadium occurs with taxpayer dollars, we're going to relocate. We're going to, we're
leaving. We've got other cities that want to do that for us. But we got enough money to pay our stars
millions of dollars a year.
You know, you know, precisely.
So the backlash came after 13 preseason regular season games have been played at the American Airlines Center without the Star Spangled Banner, according to The Athletic.
The Athletic is a sports website.
Those games took place without fans in the stadiums, with the exception of Monday's game where people noticed, wait a second, where's the national anthem?
So, you know, Republican lawmakers were calling for legislative action and signaling they intend to take aim at tax breaks for the stadiums.
And there are substantial tax breaks.
So I see.
So he claimed that they never skipped the national anthem or they had no intention of doing so.
I guess somebody just forgot, right?
But anyway.
No, he did come out and say it.
And again, the fact that this has become such a big deal, they've apologized.
The NBA stepped in.
I mean, this is at a time, if you recall last year, we talked about the fact that the NBA's championship ratings for the, I think it was the Lakers versus, I can't remember, who cares, it's basketball.
But the ratings were the lowest they've been in, I believe, 30, 40, 50 years.
People, I mean, at a time when People are forced to be at home at a time when the CDC now is mandating people wear two masks.
You would think that people would want an outlet that they'd be desirous to watch pro sports, but as we saw at the NBA, ratings, historic lows.
The Super Bowl, ratings were under 100 million.
Shocking drop!
That suits me just fine.
It puts a smile on my face too.
Let's move away from sports.
I think sports are such a huge waste of time.
If I could just wave a magic wand and all professional sports would disappear, I would do that.
the East is red, why not?
That all seems good to me.
But let's see.
Let's move away from sports.
I think sports are such a huge waste of time.
If I could just wave a magic wand and all professional sports would disappear,
I would do that.
My favorite kind of sports are high school sports.
They really just play their hearts out.
They're spontaneous.
I love high school sports.
But anyway, back to the New York Times.
Did you know, Mr. Kurz, that tipping is a legacy of slavery?
Did you know that?
Michelle Alexander!
Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow.
She says, after the Civil War, white business owners, still eager to find ways to steal black labor, created the idea that tips would replace wages.
This is utterly and completely untrue.
Tipping started in Europe, and it came before the Civil War.
But she says, after white business owners, still eager to find ways to steal black labor, created the idea that tips would... In any case, I guess she says so.
The New York Times says so.
So that makes it true.
In the same article, she complains that black waiters are tipped less than white waiters.
And she had a link to this.
Okay.
She had a link to this.
Did you read it?
I looked it up.
Yes.
It doesn't say that at all.
What it says is that blacks tip less than whites.
It's something completely... Which is one of those facts that I think most people know is true.
If you talk to anyone in the service industry, they get... Everyone knows it's true.
If you talk to anyone in the service industry, they get a little upset.
But wait a minute here.
She says black waiters are tipped less than white waiters.
Now, in fact, that may be true, but she's describing this as racial discrimination against black waiters.
It's probably, I mean to the extent that it is true, it's that black waiters probably work in less ritzy outfits.
Also, they probably are more likely to be waiting on black customers.
What do you imply with that?
That's going to be the problem.
That's going to be the problem.
So, this is just complete baloney.
But I guess if somebody corrected her, that would be all part of the new Jim Crow.
You can't, you can't.
Look, Michelle Alexander is a titan right now.
And it is Black History Month, so everything a black person says has got to be true.
They wave that magic wand and they erase white privilege and automatically tips for black servers goes up 35% in places like Detroit and South Atlanta.
Well, you know, we have a little time, unusually, for international stories.
One all the way from Zimbabwe.
Now, Zimbabwe has had a recent hike in the price of cooking oil.
It's a crisis in the country.
An industry and commerce minister, this is a cabinet minister, Sakai Nzenza, who is a woman, speaking to ZBC News Television said this, the reason why the price of cooking oil has gone up We tracked that.
It's caused by prices in the international market on the price of crude oil.
We're importing this crude oil and that requires foreign currency and as a result, there's an impact on the price of cooking oil.
Well, crude oil, that's a petroleum product.
It's turned into gasoline and plastic and lots of other useful things.
Cooking oil is made from vegetables.
Yes, yes.
But in Zimbabwe, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce thinks the crude oil price is going to price rise and that's reflected in the cooking oil price.
At least it's not Rhodesia, that's all that matters.
So, there you go.
And now, okay, Hungary.
A piece of good news.
The Hungarian government has confirmed that it will legislate against big tech censorship.
We must fight for our digital freedoms, says Judith Varga, the Minister of Justice in Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Conservative government.
She lamented the fact that today anyone can be arbitrarily disconnected from online space without any kind of official transparent or fair procedure.
And following the lead of Poland's Deputy Minister of Justice Sebastian Kaleta, who is spearheading a new law dubbed the Freedom Act, what they're going to do is they will fine social media platforms if they dump you for some reason that is illegitimate So long as their removal is not something that is against the law.
And so Judith Varga, she says, freedom is rarely given as a gift.
We must not also fight for our digital freedom.
Go hungry.
So that's a great example.
I wonder if it can be done.
I wonder if they can actually carry through with it.
I'd love to see Twitter find.
I love seeing the fact of what a government that's elected by a people when they are then asked to put the interests of those people first as opposed to what we have in our country where our president is putting the interests of criminal Africans ahead of the law-abiding citizens because it's black history month.
I really do have to check up on that.
Because that just seems so preposterous to me.
As I say, every new year I make a resolution.
I promise not to be surprised by anything.
And then every year I break it.
Well, I'll tell you what, ladies and gentlemen.
Send us the stories that you see out there that you think we should discuss next week.
Also get in touch with us.
Tell us what we're doing wrong, what we're doing right.
Make sure you're subscribed to the Bitchute channel because unfortunately we live in a country where YouTube nuked The great channel that you had, your video channel, and of course, the podcast channel.
So, Jared, how do we get in touch with you?
