Terror at the Capitol!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the latest edition of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and today is March 4th, Anno Domini 2021.
And today, Washington D.C.
is braced for yet another terrifying armed white supremacist attack that exists only in the fevered minds of our rulers and our media elites.
In an email sent yesterday to all members of Congress acting House Sergeant-at-Arms, Timothy Blodgett warned of a new and concerning set of information intelligence indicating additional interest in the Capitol for the dates of March 4th through 6th and possible militia violence.
Why would this be?
According to acting U.S.
Capitol Police Chief Yogananda D. Pittman, more about her later, House members in hearing Wednesday were told, we have enhanced our security posture.
We have let the National Guard and our partners know what to expect tomorrow.
They're expecting great things.
They're expecting something, I think, almost on the scale of that non-existent and totally imaginary white supremacist attack that was going to take place at the Capitol and in every state Capitol on Inauguration Day.
Well, apparently online chat from QAnon supporters.
They have the idea that former President Donald Trump might still be inaugurated on March 4th.
I guess they want to be there to hear his inaugural address.
And they're going to come armed with rifles to make sure they can hear it.
Because March 4th is the date, apparently, that was the historic day on which U.S.
presidents formally took the oath of office.
Back in those days, it took so long for people to get from wherever they were to Washington, D.C., that inauguration was on in March, even if the election was in the previous November.
But now, thanks to jet aircraft and trains and automobiles, people can get there quicker, so inauguration takes place in January.
So, again, remember the 25,000 National Guardsmen who were mobilized to protect against yet another imaginary threat?
Well, I don't know how many will be there, but they are ready.
So all you white supremacists out there, all you guys who are cleaning your rifles, counting your ammo, they're ready for you.
They're waiting for you.
I wouldn't do it if I were you.
Good grief, what rubbish this all is.
But as you know, as you know, ladies and gentlemen, there are still barriers all around the Capitol.
There's fencing tipped with razor wire to make sure that these wicked white supremacists stay out.
And I think that's just fine.
If you walk around the Capitol building, you'd think, my gosh, this is an, this is an occupying government.
This is an alien government imposed on people who hate them.
Well, I think in many cases, that's true.
And I am reminded of a few very pleasant and interesting days I spent in Budapest, Hungary.
In Hungary, the U.S.
Embassy has a huge wall around it.
It's an enormous complex.
And all the other embassies in town, they're just like storefronts.
And I thought to myself, this is it.
This is the imperial outpost.
These are the people who are ruling the world.
And they are protecting themselves from a world of people who hate them.
Well, this sounds like the American Capitol is increasingly looking that way.
Well, back to Yogananda Pittman, as I said.
She is the first woman and the first African American to serve as chief of the United States Capitol Police.
This was a role that she accepted after the resignation of Stephen Sund, who fell on his sword after the riots of January 6th.
Well, just an interesting little footnote about Yogananda.
On February 15, 2021, that's this year, the Capitol Police-Labor Union voted 92% against acting Chief Yogananda in a vote of no confidence in her leadership.
They do not think very highly of her, but I can tell you this, ladies and gentlemen.
Yogananda is going to save the day.
There's not going to be one fatality.
There's not going to be one injured policeman.
And so she will come off like a rose, smelling after the next three days, during which they will be in high alert.
And she will make sure, she will make sure that nothing bad happens.
Now, our co-host here seems to be grimacing, seems to be trying to smother some comment.
Are you allowed to speak?
I'll speak briefly.
There's a Time Magazine article, and it just was published.
It's entitled, They're Fighting Blind Inside the Biden Administration's Uphill Battle Against Far-Right Extremism.
Now, Mr. Taylor, this was published on March 4th.
So, let me read to you the ultimate line here.
Quote, the makeup of the mob that stormed the Capitol may be the biggest problem.
Though Congress is focused on militias and white supremacist groups, those factions represented few of the participants.
A George Washington University study identified 257 people involved in the riot, of whom just a small fraction were found to be part of the militant network.
The vast majority were ordinary Americans, members of church groups, families who travel together, and what the report calls, quote, inspired believers, end quote, which shows how far-right beliefs have seeped into the mainstream.
That's right, that's right.
All of this whooping and hollering about white supremacists turns out, if you actually look at the people who were involved, to be mere fevered imagination.
More hysteria.
Again, you had potentially, I've seen some reports talk to a person who was there, who drove up from a very far away, this is a very respectable member of society, I was shocked that he went.
He said that he met individuals who he felt more at home with than his own neighbors.
People who had traveled from From the West Coast who had never been to Washington D.C.
before, but they felt compelled.
They felt called to go on this day just to pray.
Just to pray for the President.
Just to pray for our country because they know something's wrong.
And Mr. Taylor, we just found out today that for two more months we're going to have the National Guard patrolling Washington D.C.
Oh yeah.
Because of this threat.
That's right.
This terrible threat.
And that's why there's barriers.
I hope, as I say, that war on the Capitol is permanent.
I hope it's got huge spikes on it.
Maybe broken glass built into the concrete on the top.
I want it to look as nasty and as formidable as possible.
You've got fences that actually protect you in Constitution.
You used to be able to see the White House.
There are so many fences now.
It's like one of those mazes where you'd have a rat and some psychology test.
And you realize the rats are the ones who are being protected.
They're the ones who are on the inside.
We're the ones who now are looking on.
And I think more and more people are realizing, as you've been talking about, something is rotten.
This empire is rotten.
Your analogy About Budapest was phenomenal.
It's an outpost of the Empire and our very capital is an outpost of imperialism, imperialism upon the American people.
But, well, what you just said about Time Magazine, they're referring to a A report by the George Washington University that I read, cover to cover, and I plan to write an article about it soon.
It's very, very interesting.
They are clearly so disappointed.
No neo-Nazis, no white supremacists.
But if they have the faintest reason to say that somebody was a white supremacist, they'd just clutch at anything.
They just love the idea.
And, of course, these are all, they talk, well, they talk about this armed insurrection.
Not one firearm was discovered.
Maybe somebody had a can of mace and it's an armed insurrection.
Anyway, as you probably know earlier this week, I believe it was on Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified on Capitol Hill before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
And one of the things he said I thought was very interesting, that although reports originally after the January 6th events said that the Capitol Hill policeman Brian Sicknick died after being beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, and that claim became part of the impeachment case.
You know, when they were talking about impeaching Donald Trump, he said, whoa, he was involved in murder, incitement to murder.
Well, FBI Director Christopher Wray, on Tuesday, he refused to tell senators the cause of death.
And he didn't say that the FBI didn't know, he just says it's not going to say, because it's an ongoing investigation.
So his lips are sealed.
Well, you know, it seems strange to me.
An ongoing investigation, if they're looking into the cause of death, the body was cremated more than a month ago.
If they don't know, they ain't ever gonna know.
I guess they're just not telling.
And the officer's mother said in a recent interview, the family also would like to know.
They're in the dark.
We think he had a stroke, but we don't know anything for sure.
We'd love to know what happened, said Brian Sicknick's mother, Gladys Sicknick.
A wise man long ago had a speech called Conspiracy or Degeneracy.
You have to wonder about Whether it's a conspiracy now or just our degenerate state of politics in the United States of where we are, watching this insanity unfold on a daily basis.
Well, on other matters, Christopher Wray said this about the Capitol riot.
There's no doubt it included individuals that we would call militia, violent extremists, and then in some instances, individuals that were racially motivated, violent extremists who advocate for the superiority of the white race.
Name one.
That's the FBI director said that.
That's the FBI.
Name one.
Name one, Mr. Wray.
Name just one.
And he said, adding, those with militia ties are the biggest bucket.
Well, who was talking about the superiority of the white race in there?
No, nobody.
I mean, if they're all marching around saying, yeah, blacks to the back of the bus, or we want segregated schools only for white kids, or, I don't know, white supremacy forever, I'd believe it.
Nobody was saying anything about that.
This is just such preposterous baloney.
But Mr. Wray is confused.
One of the things he said was, more and more, the ideologies that are motivating some of the violent extremists are less and less coherent, less and less linear, less and less easy to kind of pin down.
In other words, the boy is confused.
But one thing he does know is they're all white supremacists.
Even if we don't know what they're thinking, they're white supremacists.
Well, do you recall that?
Well, let me just make a point here.
Please continue.
When Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, chairman of the committee, Your senator and mine.
He set the tone.
He says the insurrectionists on January 6th are the latest incarnation of violent white supremacist movements that have terrorized fellow Americans on the basis of their race, religion, and national origin for more than 150 years.
He says they might as well have been wearing white sheets even though they weren't.
What's this?
This is just hysteria.
This is nonsense.
And the fact is, Wray never ever said anything to suggest he disagreed with that.
And just one last thing on these hearings.
Christopher Wray said that his agents, the federal government's finest, are working on about 2,000 right-wing extremism investigations.
2,000!
I don't know, they had the manpower for that.
Double the number of four years ago.
And the subjects are And this is really quite interesting.
Perceptions of government or law enforcement overreach.
Well, yes, there are some people who think that.
I doubt they're about to commit crimes on account of that.
Sociopolitical conditions.
Well, that can include just about everybody in America.
Yeah.
Who's worried about sociopolitical conditions.
Then there is racism.
Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, misogyny, and reactions to legislative action.
Fancy that?
You know, if you think a law that was passed is not so good, hey, the FBI might just come around and investigate you!
But how about Antifa, anyone?
Muzzies, anyone?
No, no, no, no, I guess not.
Black Lives Matter, Bernadette Macizio.
No, no, not a problem.
And as we're speaking, Minneapolis is basically becoming a fortified zone.
All the businesses that are left, the ones... I forgot the amount of businesses that were damaged.
It's in the hundreds.
Yes, hundreds, hundreds.
Billions of dollars of damage just to Minneapolis alone from the George Floyd Insurrection.
I guess in our vocabulary, it wasn't insurrection.
In their vocabulary, in their vernacular, it was a celebration, of course.
But I go back to that study we talked about last week.
I was thinking about this a lot as I watched President Trump's speech to CPAC, where he focused entirely at the beginning on immigration.
It was a very good speech.
He pointed out what Biden's doing is a complete reversal.
It's basically treason of what the American people actually want.
Now, remember, though, that excellent insights Look at the primary issues tested only with Democrats.
Remember what those were?
The three top ones.
Yes, and one was Trump supporters.
Donald Trump supporters was the number one thing that they're extremely concerned about.
White nationalism was number two.
Systemic racism number three.
That's what is compelling the Democrats.
You talk about this hysteria.
Now, to wrap this up quickly, the ruling elite that we're seeing with these testimonies, again, what are we hearing?
That the people who march, these good people who just feel like the country's gone, They are the equivalent of what?
The Ku Klux Klan?
There you are.
That is why this is not going to end well, folks.
No, just the extent of hysteria on the other side.
This utter blindness to reality.
But, as I understand, We have Digidog to the rescue!
Well, speaking of utter blindness to the reality of crime, I saw this story in the Daily Mail.
I'll go briefly with this.
Basically, we have something called Digidog.
It is a creation of that fantastic company Boston Dynamic.
It's a robot.
And basically what AOC has said, she's denounced the New York... AOC?
AOC.
Yes.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has denounced the New York Police Department's new crime-fighting robot dog, appearing to accuse the department of racism for deploying the device for testing in only low-income communities of color.
Now, spoiler alert, Ms.
AOC, You might know that the New York Police Department publishes a pretty comprehensive crime report which breaks the suspects down for those who are committing the violent crime and we do know that not much crime taking place in those predominantly white communities.
It's primarily in the, almost exclusively in, those communities of color where Digidog is trying to protect the law-abiding people of color in those communities.
So, if you're going to test a crime-fighting machine or a crime-fighting mechanism, you have to take it where the crime is.
That's right, she said this in a series of successive tweets,
quote, shout out to everyone who fought against community advocates who demanded
these resources go to investments like school counseling instead.
She then argued that police funding that allows for new technology like DigiDog
would have been better served to the community if it had been allotted to programs for education
Quote, please ask yourself, when was the last time you saw next-generation world-class technology for education, healthcare, housing, etc., consistently prioritized for undeserved communities?
Underserved.
I've said that before.
Underserved.
I don't have my glasses on, so I can't see that well.
Underserved communities like this, AOC said.
Well, you know, I don't think we ordinarily need high-tech, cutting-edge technology for housing.
But I guess that's what's required to get the Skid Row bums off the Bowery.
Quick look at Digidog.
Price tag about $75,000 per unit.
It's a blue and black Rover which weighs about 70 pounds.
It's equipped with lights, two-way communication, and video cameras.
It's fitted to search in an area and send back real-time footage that's powered by artificial intelligence so it can navigate on its own, like one of your vacuums you have in your house, those robot vacuums.
It can climb stairs, see in the dark, and run at about three and a half miles an hour.
Three and a half miles an hour?
Not that fast.
No, that's not very fast.
But it has been tested by the NYPD Technical Assistance Response Unit Where it was deployed in a home invasion and a barricade situation so it was able to send real-time data in so you're not risking the life of a police officer and then you're not risking a situation like you've seen so many times where a white police officer uses force to take out an innocent black body and then riots occur.
I have only one question about this hot diggity digidog here.
Can it put shots on target?
Not yet.
Not yet.
We've yet to see a Digidog equipped with any firing mechanisms or advanced weaponry systems, but I'll tell you, maybe if you add another zero under that price tag, Digidog could come weaponized.
And that's a canine I would not want to.
I think we'd have a flamethrower on it.
Well, moving on to a somewhat more light-hearted subject.
A study that was promoted by the Southern Poverty Law Center involved a deep investigation of the wickedness of Dr. Seuss.
Researchers surveyed 50 of his books and concluded that, and I quote, of the 2,240 identified human characters, somebody was really counting, they tracked down 2,240 human characters.
Somebody was really counting.
They tracked down 2,240 human characters.
There are 45 of color, representing only 2% of the total number of human
characters.
But of those 45 characters, 43 exhibited behaviors and appearances that align with harmful and stereotypical Oriental tropes.
God, the way they talk is just so... Oh my God.
Oriental tropes!
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
They look Asiatic.
Oh my, and the remaining two human characters, all of two, out of 2,240.
What percentage is that?
Two out of 2,400.
I'll let you fool with that.
Okay, it's not very much.
No.
They were identified as African.
And both, and here's their talk again, they both align with themes of anti-blackness.
What does that mean?
Themes of anti-blackness.
Once again, there's a trope, if you will.
Is it a trope or is it a theme?
Trope, theme, those are interchangeable words now by our intellectual bearers.
Well, and it's also important to note that each of the non-white characters is, guess what?
Male.
Misogyny.
The FBI is going to investigate Theodore Weissel.
I bet, I bet.
His estate.
I bet not any of them are openly gay either.
In any case, and they are all, and I'm quoting again, presented as subservient, exotified, or dehumanized roles.
They're exotified.
I'd like to be presented in an exotified role.
I think that'd be rather cool.
Then, so now the SPLC, there is no excuse for Dr. Seuss because he was a man of his time.
No, no, no, no, no.
They're going to say not all white people of his time engage in overt racism or use their platforms to disseminate racist narratives and images nationally and globally as he did.
Did you realize he was doing all that?
I did not.
I didn't either.
And the SPLC goes on to say there are white people throughout history and of his generation who actively resisted Racism.
Now, the SPLC is just getting woke, woke, woke.
They say they always thought that the Sneetches were an anti-racist fable.
Do you know about the Sneetches?
The snitches get in stitches, I don't.
The snitches, the snitches, they're some sort of furry little weird non-human character and some of them have a pattern on their stomach and some don't.
And apparently the ones with the pattern or without the pattern, I forget which, there's some sort of discrimination going on on the basis of appearance.
But there's a happy ending.
They decide that no matter what a snitch looks like, every snitch is a child of Snitch God and they're all happy and equal and it's all happy ending.
So they figured that that was At Teaching Tolerance, this is the SPLC outfit, we've even featured anti-racist activities built around the Dr. Seuss book, The Sneetches.
Because as I say, the ones with the Xs and without the Xs, you know, they end up living happily ever after and not caring.
But when we re-evaluated, we found that story is actually not as anti-racist as we once thought.
That's officially anti-racist.
You know why?
You know why?
Now this sentence baffles me, I confess.
This message of acceptance does not acknowledge structural power imbalances.
It doesn't address the idea that historical narratives impact present-day power structures, and instead of encouraging young readers to recognize and take action against injustice, the story promotes a race-neutral approach.
That makes sense.
It's got to be explicit.
It's not in your face enough.
It's basically saying, don't judge.
Race does exist, but white people don't have the right.
Again, it's not sufficiently anti-anti-white enough, or anti-anti-anti-white.
I'm not sure.
In any case, this is what kindergarten kids are supposed to be thinking about, about whether or not it acknowledges structural power imbalances.
Yeah.
Well, did you know Dr. Seuss, at least depending on in whose hands Dr. Seuss is found, has been under the microscope for some time.
And in 2017, a school librarian in Cambridge, Massachusetts criticized a gift of 10 Dr. Seuss books from First Lady Melania Trump.
Saying many of his works were, quote, steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes.
Steeped, mind you.
Steeped!
The cat in the hat?
Boy, I bet he is racist to mice.
Man, oh man.
Well, and as a result, as a result of this study, did you know that six Dr. Seuss books, including And to Think, That I Saw It on Melbury Street, and If I Ran the Zoo, have been discovered to be so steeped in racist propaganda Actually, you can no longer sell them on eBay.
eBay has banned the selling of those six books that the Dr. Seuss Foundation decided to take out of circulation.
on eBay for two, three, four hundred dollars.
Actually you can no longer sell them on eBay.
eBay has banned the selling of those six books that the Dr.
Seuss Foundation decided to take out of circulation.
I was lucky enough to procure a few copies of each for...
I paid, I think, two bucks for each at the most.
If you can't sell them, you can't make a killing.
Well, just think, I guarantee you that there is a cottage industry, there are some industrious Chinese out there who are buying up all of these artifacts of a country that was once not ashamed of itself, its past, present, and future.
Oh, I don't think they care enough.
But anyway.
They probably do because they'll realize there'll be a colony somewhere at some point of Americans who want to remember their past.
Well, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, they said, these books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.
So now that they are out of circulation, let the healing begin, Mr. Kersey.
Let the healing begin.
It's going to be a new day, now that those six books are no longer available.
On the other hand, if he's such an evil man, why don't we withdraw all of his books?
Exactly.
Why only six?
He's such a disgraceful human being.
You know what we should do about this?
I think we should have a nationwide book burning, just like a little event in May 1933 in Berlin.
It'd be loads of fun.
Maybe we should wait until it's cold again and keep ourselves warm.
Well, not so fast.
I understand why they didn't ban them all.
Do you know how much his books made before taxes in 2020?
I do know the number.
I'm not going to spoil it.
Go ahead and tell.
$33 million.
$33 million!
And so I think that by banning six of his, I don't know how many books, he wrote 25 of the top 200 all-time best-selling children's books.
I had never heard of the six books that were banned, by the way.
Well, I'd heard of, and to think I saw it on Mulberry Street.
I'd heard that.
Now, you know, if it's just full of steeped in racist propaganda and caricatures, I hope that you have just stimulated all your wicked impulses by reading it.
I've yet to read them.
Have you read them?
I just wanted to buy them.
It's one of those things like South to the South.
Little investment.
You want to have.
Little investment.
Well, so I think, you know, that's $33 million.
I mean, to snip that off, somebody is walking home with quite a lot of money in his pocket on account of Dr. Seuss's racism.
Somebody's profiting racism.
Well, you know, if you look back over his career, Seuss was a staunch FDR Democrat.
He was a fiery opponent of Lindbergh and the America First Movement.
He was always whooping up the Civil Rights Movement.
He was a passionate hater of Nixon.
He has political cartoons, some of them really pretty clever.
One that I recall, it's a lady reading a book Uh, to her children.
And, uh, I think it ends with something like, and, uh, uh, Adolf the wolf ate up all the children and spat out their bones, but it was all okay because they were foreign children.
This is not America.
Firstly, she's got America first written on her hat or something.
That's kind of stuff, but no, he's not good enough.
He's not good enough.
But anyway, and of course critics have faulted the Curious George books.
Yes.
Did you ever read Curious George?
I have read some Curious George.
The Man in the Yellow Hat?
The Man in the Yellow Hat.
Well, you know, they're bad because it's the premise of a white man bringing home a monkey from Africa.
Now, should he have brought one back from the North Pole?
Maybe Australian?
Why is a white man bringing home a monkey from Africa?
Why is that bad?
And then Laurel Ingalls Wilder's... Did you ever read her Little House on the Prairie novels?
I've seen the adaptation of the TV show from years ago.
Well, they're all very, very bad because Native Americans actually They can be scary.
So that's no good.
And so, astonishingly enough, the American Library Association removed her name in 2018 from a Lifetime Achievement Award.
It gives that every year.
You know, that's not surprising.
It's like just tearing down a statue of Columbus.
The people that used to be heroes are now villains.
Well, I'm surprised Edgar Rice Burroughs is still even read by anyone.
You know, he wrote, of course, Tarzan, which I believe that's the name.
Tarzan is It's Tarzan of the Apes, Volume 1.
Yeah, and I believe that translates to White Man or something, Tarzan.
And then of course, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Hero and the Mars stories.
Was it Confederate?
That's right.
He was a veteran.
He was a proud, heroic soldier.
Yes, he was.
How can you celebrate that in 2021?
Was that John Walker?
John Carter.
John Carter of Mars.
Disney made a movie.
To Walt Disney's everlasting chagrin, he never got to make, he always wanted to make in his lifetime, a John Carter movie, a cartoon.
And they finally made one in 2012 and they didn't take out his Confederate history.
No wonder the movie flopped.
It did flop.
It's a good movie, though.
I actually read that book.
It's called A Princess of Mars.
Dejah Thoris is the princess, and apparently she never wears any clothes the whole time.
She's always projected.
Her images are beautiful.
There's a great line in that movie I want to share with you.
John Carter is being recruited to help out the Union officers to help people who are being raided.
He's in jail.
And the officer goes, you've gone native, haven't you, Carter?
And he goes, to hell with the Apaches, too.
So it's a scene where they're trying to say, why do you hate your own people?
And then he goes, you've gone native.
He goes, to hell with the Apaches, too.
So it's not like he's just out trying to prospect and move on from his life.
Well, that must be a different volume from... I mean, there are many volumes.
There are many volumes, but I don't remember what exactly the... That wouldn't be in the first, The Princess of Mars.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay.
No.
This is just in the Disney film.
Well, move... Oh, in the Disney film.
Okay.
Moving along here.
Moving along.
To a study that investigated 165 ad agencies representing more than 40,000 employees, and it discovered yet another crisis.
Yet another crisis.
How have we staggered on under these unjust, exploitative, horrifying, shameful circumstances?
Black and African-American employees, I'm not sure quite what the difference is, but Black and African-American employees make up just 5.8% of ad agency business.
5.8.
And then, of these 68% hold administrative or entry-level roles, and of Hispanics or Latinos, only 8.7% of all the people in these ad agencies.
So, it's a crisis.
It's a shame.
But, basketball is gonna come bouncing to the rescue.
Did you know that?
Because, according to the Wall Street Journal, and I quote, Shaquille O'Neal is now a founding partner and investor in Majority, a new ad agency focused on serving up talent.
Of diverse backgrounds.
The agency arrives as Madison Avenue grapples with a history of inequity amid the nation's renewed call for social justice.
And ad agencies are increasingly taking measures to diversify their ranks.
Well, Mr. O'Neill said in a telephone interview, most agencies still struggle to meet a 25% diversity target.
We want to flip that diversity ratio to turn the minority into the majority.
Now, that sounds like targeted quota hiring of non-whites, which is against the law.
But who cares if it's in the interests of diversity?
Then they say, the agency plans to hire a diverse pool of talent defined by black and brown people, women, and LGBTQ, said Omid Farhang, co-founder and chief executive.
He says, the goal of our company is to show how certain creative output changes when you flip that ratio.
In other words, out with the white, in with the non-white.
It's as much about social equity as a shrewd business decision.
Diversity is a competitive advantage.
It leads to different kinds of ideas.
Well, you know, it's amazing to me.
White people never figured out that diversity leads to all kinds of competitive advantage.
They just never figured it out.
They didn't realize that homosexuals and non-whites, you know, fill the agency with them and man, you're just going to go gangbusters and make twice as much money.
They never figured it out.
No, Apple has never figured that out or any of the tech companies.
No, they've never figured out how stupid white people are.
Jeez.
Untapped labor out there.
All that genius going to waste.
Well, Shaquille O'Neal, he will not handle the day-to-day agency tasks.
He's not going to be doing ad copy.
But he will support the shop by joining meetings, networking, reaching out to brands, and celebrity contacts as needed.
But it's going to be hard work for him.
But I bet it'll be a nice payday.
And here's something that you will perhaps not believe.
I own a product with Shaquille O'Neal's name on it.
He must have designed it or maybe even made it himself.
Is it a food product?
It is not.
It is a product of personal apparel.
It's a glasses frame.
Glasses frame?
Yes.
Did you know that Shaquille O'Neal in his spare time designs glasses frames?
I did not know that he had white-labeled glasses.
Congratulations, Old Shaq.
Yeah, Old Shaq.
I wear Shaq glasses.
And they turned out to be nice-looking glasses, some of the cheapest around.
And I looked inside, and right on the inside of the earpiece, in small, modest letters, not what I would expect from Shaq at all.
I would expect to have his name emblazoned in gold on the frame, but no.
Very discreet.
And so I wear Shaq O'Neill custom glasses.
In five years, I guarantee you the trajectory of where things are going as, you know, iniquitous inequity must be, you know, fought continuously that that company will have an IPO and it'll be worth buying.
I bet not.
You bet not?
I bet not.
I mean, if they're really just going to hire LGBTQ blacks, women, crippled people, it's... You haven't watched much TV recently, have you, to see these commercials?
As somebody pointed out about the Super Bowl commercials, a friend of mine, they're like, yeah, you were right.
There were literally, there's no white people in any of these commercials.
But white people, white people can design humiliating commercials.
I bet they do it better than this riffraff they're going to pick up.
Anyway, but I've learned about a potential recruit for Shaq's shop here.
We have discovered in Baltimore a school where a student who passed three classes in four years and ranks near the top half of his class.
This is a miracle.
This is a modern-day miracle.
He has a 0.13 grade point average, but he would be diverse.
He's diverse talent.
And the person's name, the boy is not named, but his mother is Tiffany France.
And she thought her son would get his diploma in June.
But after four years of high school, she just learned her 17-year-old has to start over.
He's been moved back to ninth grade.
And she says, he didn't fail.
The school failed him.
The school failed at their job.
They failed.
They failed.
That's the problem here.
They failed.
They failed.
He didn't deserve that.
They failed.
So she's got one line down.
Now, she does sound like the whining black lady, but she's got a point, actually.
Ms.
Francis' son attends Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts.
I guess it's not the Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts.
It's in West Baltimore.
And his transcript shows he's passed only three classes in four years, earning 2.5 credits, which means he should be in the ninth grade, which he just found out this year.
Now, Tiffany France thought her oldest son was doing well, because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted.
His transcript says that he failed Spanish 1 and Algebra 1, but he got promoted to Spanish 2 and Algebra 2.
So she's right!
This school is nuts!
Absolutely nuts!
And in his first three years at Augusta Feld's Savage Institute of Visual Arts, he failed 22 classes in the late or absent 272 days.
That's a lot of hooky playing.
How many actual days did he show up on time or did he play hooky?
That's a good question.
What percentage?
Probably close to the percentage of Blacks in Dr. Seuss books.
No one has calculated that percentage, but in those three years only one teacher suggested a parent conference and Tiffany France says that never happened.
No one from the school told her her son was failing or not showing up at school.
Cynthia, one teacher?
Well, one teacher requested a parent conference.
One.
But she says that never happened.
She doesn't say why.
Maybe Tiffany decided that she had better things to do.
But whatever the case, there was no conference.
And can you imagine your child not showing up at school for 272 days and nobody from the school even calls you?
I mean, I would get a call from my high school.
My daughter was late, 15 minutes late to class.
We'd get some, hey, hey, hey, she ain't here.
I wonder if Tiffany ever actually inquired with her son what he was doing.
It's a good question.
Now, I suspect there's a certain amount of failure on her part too, but there's no question of school.
This is a Baltimore school.
Baltimore is one of those thriving metropoli of which the United States is justifiably so proud.
But in his four years at Augusta Fells, He earned a GPA of 0.13.
I've never heard of a Joe with a GPA so low.
Now, his transcripts show his class rank out of 120 students is, guess what?
It's probably pretty close to the top.
No!
It's closer to the bottom.
It's 62 out of 120.
62 out of 120.
But that means 58 of his classmates have a 0.13 grade point average, or worse.
Their classmates who are skipping school with them are just not showing up.
Wow.
Well, apparently, the CEO of the Baltimore City Schools, CEO, they have a CEO, not a superintendent.
I wonder what that means.
In any case, Chief Executive Officer, Sonia Santelises.
She was in charge when he was a freshman, but she refuses to be interviewed by News.
I'm not surprised.
Well, there you go.
This is an astonishing state of affairs.
And, as I say, when I first heard Tiffany France's comments about, they failed, they failed, he didn't deserve that, they failed, they failed, the school failed, I thought, I don't want to whine.
But she's got a point.
She's got a point.
This is an incredible message.
She has a minor point, again, the self-reflection.
It's not a minor point.
Come on, you don't show up for school 272 days.
Well, she says she never heard from him, assuming she's right.
That's appalling!
I forgot what amount of money they spend per pupil in Baltimore, but it's one of the highest in the country.
It's probably about $19,000 a year.
Anyway, there you go.
Well, some people are... I guess it's beefsteak for the boys, but you don't have to call people when somebody's out of school for 272 days.
But moving on to Wikipedia.
One of Wikipedia's co-founders, Larry Singer, he says that many Wikipedia pages have become pure left-wing advocacy.
He's right.
He says the days of Wikipedia's robust commitment to neutrality are long gone.
He says that Wikipedia's neutrality policy, known as NPOV, or neutral point of view, is dead.
He says if you look up a Wikipedia entry on socialism or communism, these are not his words, but they might as well have been written by Karl Marx.
And he, Larry Sanger, is launching a competing encyclopedia site.
He says it will be immune from leftist bias.
I don't know how it's going to manage to do that.
The forthcoming project is called the Encyclosphere.
He calls it a free, giant, global knowledge commons without any central control.
And he says a gazillionaire offered us money.
All you gazillionaires out there, New Century Foundation.
American Renaissance.
Tell them how to reach out to you.
Yes.
Now, gazillionaires only.
No, no, no.
Anybody can reach out to us.
We are at amren.com.
A-M-R-E-N.com.
And we are accepting donations.
And also, we are accepting comments, criticism, questions, love letters to Radio Renaissance, directed either to me, Jared Taylor, or to my co-host.
Because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
A little bit of a tease, we got some really cool shots, some screenshots of one of these inclusivity Seminars that are put on for a Fortune 500 company.
Those will be coming up soon at MRin.com.
So thank you very much dear listener who sent those in.
We'll leave you nameless, anonymous.
Yes, yes, yes.
In these evil days, yes, whistleblowers and people who are fighting for their country often have to hide.
But following on the heels of Wikipedia co-founder Larry saying we have Kozo Ishiguro.
Do you know who he is?
I don't.
He's a Nobel Prize winner.
He was born in Nagasaki, Japan.
He moved to England when he was five.
And he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, 2017.
He was knighted in 2019.
So he's Sir Cuzzwell.
in 2019. So he's Sir Cuzzle. Anyway, I've never read any of his books, but I understand they're
The Remains of the Day is supposed to be really quite good.
But he warned of a climate of fear now preventing some people from writing what they want.
He was particularly troubled about young writers, he says, who rightly feel that their careers are more fragile, their reputations are more fragile, and they don't want to take risks.
And he says there should be no subject or viewpoint from which one should shrink back.
Yes.
He says novelists should feel free to write from whichever point of view they wish and represent all kinds of views.
In other words, a white person should be able to write about a non-white character.
He's Asian.
He writes about white people all the time.
He says white people should write about blacks, Martians, whatever they like.
So, that's a good start.
Sir Cosworth.
Deja Torres?
Yeah, Deja, Deja, yes.
You know, if you look up Dejah Thoris on the internet, images, many people have imagined what Dejah Thoris must have looked like.
And boy, they have vivid imaginations.
This is a PG show, Mr. Taylor.
Oh, all right.
In any case, now, moving on, this might be a little on the long side, but Heather McDonald, who is one of our national treasurers, she wrote in the City Journal of February 28, 2021.
Let me read a few passages from it.
She says, Rudy Giuliani, who presided over a 62% drop in major felonies in New York City from 1994 to 2001, proved that violence is not an urban inevitability.
And his successor, Michael Bloomberg, missed her stop and frisk.
He drove crime down further through the 2008 recession and beyond.
But, New York City in 2020 experienced an unprecedented one-year increase in homicides and shootings.
Murders up 41%.
Shootings up 103%.
Now, I always wonder about what this says about the aim of our perps.
Murders up only 41%.
Shootings up 103%.
Got to improve that aim.
Or it just tells you how good your emergency rooms are getting in terms of being able to fix up these bodies.
But we're talking about a one-year change.
I don't think emergency rooms really improved that much.
I think there was a whole lot of wild shooting going on despite the terrible ammo shortage that I've often complained about on this podcast.
Yeah, 9mm ammo.
It's come down from a dollar a round to about 80 cents a round.
That's not much.
Something like 20%.
That's outrageous.
But in Bed-Stuy, oh boy, Bed-Stuy.
There were 170% more shooting victims in 2020.
And the increase is actually worse than numbers suggest because street crime actually dropped at the time of the lockdown in March to late May 2020.
And you know what happened in late May 2020?
A couple things happened, but I know the big one that happened.
What's the big one?
We'll talk about it in a little bit, but come on, George Floyd!
The most important moment in American history!
Oh, you're right!
The patron saint of fentanyl overdose.
Well, and things, the shootings and the killings took off after that, and as she says, and I'm quoting Heather MacDonald, and as long as anti-racism remains the primary focus of New York's leaders, the crime surge will continue.
Yes, indeed.
Now, she says that racial inequalities have become the obsession of the nation's elites.
She says blacks make up 12% of the nation's population, but they are one-third of the combined state and prison rolls.
And there's another important point she brings up.
The black incarceration rate is driven by convictions for a violent crime.
Not as popular law would have it by convictions for drug offenses.
62% of black prisoners in state facilities, and that's where you have the vast bulk of the nation's prisoners, are in the big house for a violent offense compared to 48% for white state prisoners.
White state prisoners like to be getting three hots and a cot for something other than a violent
defense. She says, and I love the way Heather McDonald just puts it right on the line,
the only way to reduce racial disparities in criminal justice is to stop locking up the perps.
That's the only way you can do it. Just stop locking up Blacks or round up a few innocent
Blacks. You can be Mr. Kersey walking home and a guy says, gosh, I need a quota. I need white
bodies in jail so I can arrest a real murderer. So I can take you right off the street. We're
not there yet.
We're getting close.
Ah, yes.
Now, of course, during the riots in New York City, nearly 400 officers were injured, more than 200 police cars vandalized, and whenever darkness fell, the city cowered behind plywood barriers.
But Mayor Bill de Blasio called the unrest very justified and asked the police to use a light touch because people are, quote, undeniably angry for the The mind boggles.
The mind boggles.
And somehow, crime increased.
And then there's Matt and D.A.
Cyrus Vance.
He announced he would not be prosecuting curfew violations or other violated, riot-related offenses like disorderly conduct, resisting arrest.
Resisting arrest!
I mean, that's a serious, that's a serious crime.
That's okay, if it's in the name of BLM.
And that's when the mayor's daughter was arrested.
Ah, but no, she got let off.
And the mayor said he's so proud of her.
And then Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced he was dismantling the undercover units whose job is to get armed felons off the street.
Armed felons!
And as Heather McDonald writes, this abdication is being done in the name of serving the community.
Code for avoiding disparate impact.
She's absolutely right.
And disbanding the units signaled that the department was, quote, no longer in the arrest business, says former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
And the message was heard.
Now this is an extraordinary statistic.
In the two weeks after the announcement that this undercover group to disarm felons was made, shootings increased 205%.
Gunshot injuries, 238%.
I mean, the suspects knew their chance of getting stopped with a gun had dropped tremendously.
I mean, they read the newspapers too.
And NYPD officers got the message, too.
You know, if they enforce the law, they're going to be accused of racism.
Narcotics arrests down in the month following the announcement.
Narcotics arrests down 85 percent, 90 percent fewer arrests by the gang detectives, and subway and housing arrests by a comparable amount, and gun arrests down 67 percent.
And Mayor Bill de Blasio says they're shooting each other, and AOC agrees.
It's all on account of the virus.
Remember, we saw that same exact scenario play out in Portland when they disbanded their gun violence prevention team.
What happened?
Inevitably, gun violence went up.
And who were the primary victims of that gun violence?
In 6% black Portland?
Yeah.
Not the 94% of the population that's not black.
All these added black bodies and nobody seems to care.
It's just incredible.
And now, as Heather McDonald points out, As shootings surged, the NYPD was accused of indifference to the community.
Where's Digidog when you need him?
Where's Digidog, yes.
Well, where's good ol' Mike O'Rourke, or whoever the policeman name is, when you need him?
Good lord.
And Digidog.
Yeah.
And she says, the local and national crime increases have the same cause, making the avoidance of disparate impact the guiding principle of law enforcement.
Well, so long as there, if you got to avoid disparate impact, you got to stop enforcing every criminal law.
And she goes on to say this, and this is really, this is the most disappointing line of all.
Unfortunately, all the candidates for mayor and Manhattan district attorney
are determined to maintain this easy touch on crime. Every one of them. See, this is amazing
to me. The New Yorkers must read the news. Somebody must be willing to step forward and say,
hey, DeBlasio got it all wrong. We need to lock up these thugs.
Well, New Yorkers read the news and that's why people are fleeing New York.
I mean, that's why you're seeing so many vacancies for exclusive apartments, condos, and businesses saying, you know, this lockdown has kind of taught us that we don't need this expensive real estate.
We don't need, you know, corporate.
Mr. Kersey, is this a buying opportunity?
I think it's an opportunity to realize that there's a lot of red states.
They're going to have a lot of people from New York coming their way.
And they'll be ruined.
Yes.
I'm looking at you, Texas.
That and Georgia.
I think you have a story for us about young blacks and just how dangerous it is to be a young black man in America today.
Oh, obviously because of, you know, Oh, to be young and black and talented.
Wasn't that the line from the 1950s?
Oh, to be young and black and talented.
Wasn't that the line from the 19, uh, that was the 1950s line.
Oh, to be young and black and talented.
Wow.
You'd have a role with Shaq's, uh, you know, marketing agency.
If you survive.
If you survive.
So USA Today had this story.
Of course, they don't tell us who's doing the killing.
That data would, of course, only perpetuate stereotypes.
However, they do tell us this.
Young black men and teens made up more than a third of firearm homicide victims.
Let me read that again.
Young black men and teens made up more than a third of homicide victims in the USA in 2019.
One of several disparities revealed in a review of gun mortality data released by the CDC.
The analysis, titled, A Public Health Crisis in the Making, found that although, despite being, although black men and boys ages 15 to 34 make up just 2% of the nation's population, they were among 37% of gun homicides that year.
Now here's my question for you.
We're told constantly that most homicides in the country are intra-racial, correct?
Most are.
So that tells us that despite being only 2% of the nation's population, black boys between the ages of 15 and 34, they must be committing If my arithmetic is right, 37% of gun homicides in the year of this study, of 2019?
Well, unless old Asian ladies are out shooting them.
Maybe in San Francisco.
Well, anyways, that's 20 times higher than white males of the same age group.
Of all reported firearm homicides in 2019, more than half of the victims were black men, according to the study, spearheaded by the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.
I, of course, have a really simple idea how to stop gun violence, but we're Then we better not.
Well, tell me this.
Repeat that statistic again.
If you are young and black, you are 20 times more likely to be murdered than if you are young and white.
That's right, of the same age group.
And remember, black men and boys ages 15 to 34, despite being only 2% of the nation's population, for the year 2019, they were among 37% of the gun homicides that year.
And as we said, invariably, Almost all homicides.
We're told this constantly when we have to look at interracial data on crimes.
Almost all homicides are interracial, which means that despite being only 2% of America's population, black men between the ages of 15 and 34 He committed 37% of gun homicides in 2019.
Sounds like systemic racism to me.
It does.
Joe Biden better root that out.
He promised to.
They're getting ready to start next week, actually.
So an epidemiologist at Florida A&M University by the name of Ed Clark.
Florida A&M, by the way, is a HBCU.
Quote, gun violence has for the longest time been a public health crisis in the black community.
That should include, really, and the way to approach it is a holistic approach.
There's one of those words, holistic.
That's like trope.
What was the other one that you used that we heard in that study?
Trope, holistic, theme, systemic, implicit.
You know what?
Let's just call it what it all is.
Making excuses, For a certain racial group.
You know, an epidemiologist is talking about gun murders, and the idea that it's some sort of disease, this is just so stupid.
Well, here's his quote.
Yes.
Quote, that should really, that should include really viewing gun violence as a public health issue.
The business of public health is population wellness.
Looking at how we can decrease the disease burden or the threat of injury to the population at large.
And gun violence is definitely a problem that should be looked at through that lens.
Well, here's... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What we need is better public health.
More vaccinations.
What a dope.
How do you inoculate yourself against black gun violence?
Well, there's a way.
It's called gentrification and living in a nice suburb where there aren't that many... It's called getting the hell out of Dodge.
Staying out of Baltimore.
Yeah.
Epidemiologist.
There you go.
It's the virus.
It's the virus of gun violence.
That's what's compelling, you know, these 2% of our population to commit 32% of gun homicides.
You know the cure?
I've got a couple ideas.
Wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and stay at least 60 yards away.
You're talking about social distancing.
Yes, social distancing.
That'll save you.
From gun violence.
I like it.
Well, Boston Public School.
They have a selective program for high-performing 4th, 5th, and 6th graders.
Now, students in this program, they study in greater depth and they have more schoolwork and more homework than in the regular curriculum.
And this program is open to all students in the Boston Public Schools who took a test known as Terra Nova in the 3rd grade and scored, got a high score.
A analysis of the program found that more than 70% of the students enrolled in the program are white and Asian, even though nearly 80% of all Boston public school students are Hispanic and black.
It's the usual problem.
It's the usual problem.
Those patterns keep emerging.
Nobody seems to be able to solve this problem.
And school committee member Lorna Rivera, she says, this is just not acceptable.
I've never heard these statistics before.
Where's she been?
Where's she been?
I could have predicted.
I haven't even been to Boston in years and I could have told her what the statistics are.
You're not missing much.
Oh, yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
Boston's a nice city.
I used to like it very much.
She says, I never heard these statistics before.
As I say, you've been asleep and I'm very, very disturbed.
Well, I have a solution.
I have a solution.
And my solution is to change the name of the test.
It's called Terra Nova.
That sounds like New World.
That sounds like Columbus.
That sounds like imperialism.
That sounds like white people.
If you just change the name of the test, I bet you Hispanics and blacks will do fine.
Don't you think so?
If it were called, I don't know, Black Lives Matter Most, if they named it to that.
Mostest.
Mostest, oh yes.
Anyway, so Superintendent Brenda Koselius, she says there's a lot of work we have to do in the district to be anti-racist.
And you know what they're going to do?
They're going to end the program.
Just get rid of it.
Just get rid of it.
But those already in advanced work will be allowed to continue.
Oh, that's nice.
They're grandfathered in, basically.
Yeah, they're grandfathered in.
Yes, it was racist.
It was awful.
It's oppressive.
But those whites and Asians, they will be allowed to stay in.
But, you know, no more.
No more.
And so, of course, if it turns out certain races don't earn their proportionate share, Well, then it's got to quit now.
I think we should apply this to athletics.
No, can't do that.
Well, wait!
If a proportionate share don't make the high school basketball team, shouldn't we end the basketball team in the name of equity and fairness?
If not, why not?
Explain that to me.
You can't, and that's why no one even brings it up.
Anyway, so there you go.
Well, I have a story from south of the border.
And south of the border very soon becomes within the United States.
But Fox News reports that migrants crossed the U.S.
border on Tuesday.
That was just yesterday.
They were photographed wearing T-shirts.
They say, in support of President Biden.
Of course.
Well, they didn't.
They weren't in support of President Biden.
You know what they said on them?
The T-shirt said, Biden, please let us in.
And it was in English, right?
Of course it was English, yes.
The group gathered and marched up to the border post in a petition to be allowed to come right in and seek asylum.
Yes, as you point out, it was in English.
And, this is the best of all, a group of migrants wearing the t-shirts knelt and prayed at the border crossing.
I bet it was a prayer of thanksgiving for the election of Joe Biden.
I'd like to know what they prayed about.
Well, U.S.
Border Patrol agents conducted a heavier operation than usual in the goal of preventing a stampede.
These praying people might have stampeded.
Now, as it's been pointed out, a recent surge in the number of unaccompanied minors arrived at the border.
Yes, 100% jump since Joe Biden took office.
But, now this I love, the Biden administration has rejected the term crisis to describe the situation.
Of course it's not a crisis.
It's what they wanted, right?
And you wonder, I wonder if Joe Biden's heard about this.
These folks showing up with t-shirts that say, Biden, Joe Biden, please.
Does that make him feel good?
What do you think?
I don't think Joe Biden knows what he's thinking right now.
Oh, come on.
He's not quite as dim as his opponents say.
You know, does he think that they love him in Latin America?
Does he think that they're going to erect bronze statues to him in gratitude for the fact that he's not orange man bad?
What do you think about this kind of stuff, really?
These people are just such boobs and fools.
Anyway, the time is rapidly approaching.
