Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
It is May 20th, year of our Lord 2021, and I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable and inimitable co-host.
And we're going to begin with a question from a listener.
The question is as follows.
Why is it I've never heard once Jared discussed the elusive intelligence of whites, which cannot be measured being that of imagination, such that they be inventors, creators, artists, musicians, and more.
I'm not the only listener bored by Jared telling us that Asians are the most intelligent.
Whites are also the most humanitarian-minded of everybody else.
I haven't heard Jared mention that either.
Well, Oh, I think there's no doubt about it that the Caucasian, the Europeans, especially the Northern European, is the most creative and the Faustian of any group on Earth.
No doubt about it.
But when it comes to average IQ, I think it's pretty beyond doubt.
The evidence is overwhelming that East Asians are on average more intelligent.
There are a number of theories as to why.
White may be more creative, have more actual geniuses.
And I think there's just no question about that.
If you look at the record of human achievement, Charles Murray's book by that name, A Human Achievement, very clear on that subject.
And there are interesting theories.
One presented by Ed Dutton, in fact, in his latest book, Making Sense of Race.
That goes into discussion as to why, under the evolutionary circumstances in which, say, East Asians and Europeans evolved, it was more likely that genius occur at a more rapid rate among Europeans.
But I don't think there's something that we need to dwell on, the fact that whites have more geniuses than anybody else.
And I don't... I like to think that I don't dwell Excessively on the higher East Asian IQ than the Caucasian IQ, but if I appear to do so, I apologize.
Now, this listener also complains that I don't talk about the fact that whites are the most humanitarian.
Well, I'm not sure that's something to brag about.
Altruism is not a virtue sometimes.
We suffer from pathological altruism.
We have too bloody much altruism.
And increasingly, not just altruism with regard to people unlike ourselves, but even within our own group.
This absolute obsession with those who are not keeping up, those who are defective in some way, this is increasingly dangerous and I think is a very menacing and dark cloud on the future of our race.
But I'm sorry to have given offense, even if unintentional.
Mr. Taylor, have you read that fantastic series by Daniel Boorstin, The Creators, The Discoverers, and The Seekers?
Oh, that was a great, fat book some time ago.
No, I would have loved to have read it.
He was the Librarian of Congress for a while, was he not?
He was, correct.
Yes.
Well, I imagine there is a just most depressing lack of diversity in the subjects that he covers.
Paucity.
I use that word to describe, especially to discoverers, so to answer the listener's question, which we truly love getting those.
You know, it's been about a year, Mr. Taylor, since YouTube said, we'll see you later, guys.
And so we definitely want you to stay in touch.
We don't do this enough anymore.
So head over to that amaran.com page.
I think it's what?
The contact us page.
Yeah, make sure you contact, give the email so that you get this award winning Email every week.
It's a digest of all the great and award-winning... I'm just, you know, I made that up.
I'm joking.
But it is really great.
It's an amazing digest of all the best stuff.
And if you have any questions, you can shoot them over to me because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
And Mr. Taylor, may I put you on the spot?
Is it too early to promote?
No!
No!
Is it too early to promote the 2021 New Century Foundation conference?
It's not.
The 2020 conference, alas, was canceled because of COVID, but we are on for the weekend of November 12th through 14th at the beautiful Montgomery Bell State Park.
We already had a number of quite exciting speakers lined up.
We are not yet taking registrations, but so many people have been asking us, will there be a conference?
And so this is your opportunity to set aside that weekend to join with those who understand the way the world works.
And as I like to quote the fellow who came marching up to me at one Emrin conference years ago, this is the second or third, he says, it's great to be among the living.
So, you can join the living on November 12th through 14th for what will certainly be a wonderful and memorable occasion.
Back to this whole question of this matter of being in touch with us.
We love your questions, but frankly, I love even more your corrections.
If we make a mistake, keep us honest.
We crave correction.
So, the first good news, good news Mr. Kersey.
Vice President Kamala Harris, as you know, is in charge of the southern border.
She's the Tsarina who's going to make sure that immigration happens the way it should.
She has pinpointed one of the root causes of migration and that is violence against LGBT persons and the transsexuals.
I didn't know that.
Oh yes, she's pinpointed.
Her laser eye has focused in on this real problem.
And after all, the administration is opening up exceptions to the pandemic-inspired public health order that was put in place last year that basically said, everybody out.
Now we have humanitarian exceptions, and it's for those who are believed to be the most vulnerable.
The most vulnerable of the immigrants.
Frankly, the most vulnerable are usually the ones I would rather not have in.
The sick, the lame, the halt, the feeble-minded.
But this batch, the administration is working 24 hours a day with a consortium of not-for-profit groups and NGOs.
They have your best interests at heart, Mr. Kersey, as they have mine, to figure out who should be let in based on their level of vulnerability.
And they have already decided to put families with young children, young children are vulnerable, and transgender persons, they're going to go to the front of the line for asylum.
I thought you'd be pleased to hear that.
My heart is pure.
Ah, be still my heart.
It's about to leap out of my chest with joy at the prospect.
The White House is not publicizing this change.
I can see why.
Somehow it got into the news, however.
Because the transgender show is not to spark another migration boom.
I just don't know how many there are, but I guess they're really getting on the boat right away.
It's like the one that happened when they announced to the world that unaccompanied minor children would be whisked across the border without exception.
And of course, detainment facilities immediately reached capacity.
And there were videos of being children dropped over the border wall.
That's about 14 feet by human traffickers, and some of them needed to be rescued by the Border Patrol while they were wandering alone, weeping in the desert.
And as it turns out, April, CPB, Customs and Border Protection, caught 178,622 people.
One more time.
One more time.
168,622!
168,622.
That fills...
Are there any stadiums that hold that many?
You know, I think the biggest stadium in America is the University of Michigan Stadium.
But I think the other biggest stadium is the University of Michigan Stadium.
And I think the other biggest stadium is the University of Michigan Stadium.
About 110, maybe 112.
So, no.
But imagine all those people waltzing across the border.
Now, of that number, 32,500 were allowed entry for asylum.
The vulnerable, you know, the more vulnerable, the people we really need.
Now, as I say, Kamala Harris, she has said the root causes for all of this backpacking have to be taken care of, and I'm quoting her.
She says, I'm thinking of corruption, violence, and poverty, lack of economic opportunity, the lack of climate adaptation and climate resilience, and the lack of a good government.
These are the things she's in charge of fixing.
She's going to be a busy lady.
She will.
There's only 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week she needs to clone herself because she's not going to stop working.
Yeah, she's got to solve the problem of corruption, violence, poverty, good governance.
Gosh, superwoman is she.
Meanwhile, of course, this is interesting.
These illegal fence hoppers are coming from all over the world based on these new policies.
These families coming along.
The ones who know that they've got a get-into-America-free ticket, 30% of them are now no longer from Mexico and Central America.
I thought they were almost all from there, but no, 30%.
Here's one, a certain Rodrigo Neto, who came from Brazil.
He says, we're hearing back home that the new president is facilitating entry and there is a demand for labor, says he.
And two Indian families.
They're from India.
India.
They flew through five countries to reach Mexico City, where they boarded a bus, boarded a bus to the U.S.-Mexico border, and a cab driver connected to the Coyotes, deposited them on a road from which they walked to a gap in the wall.
So we have a whole United Nations swarming in.
Last time I checked, wasn't India basically locked down?
Wasn't our own government stopping all flights from India because of how bad the COVID-19 situation was there?
Oh, but don't worry, don't worry.
We're all vaccinated here so we can get all the sick people that we can possibly handle.
Some of us might be.
In any case, and more good news!
St.
Louis has a new mayor!
St.
Louis not only has a new mayor, St.
Louis has a mayor that looks like...
The majority of the city, thank God.
They just got rid of a white female Democrat, and they now have, well, the right kind of Democrat.
A black female.
A black female who is the first black female mayor to Shara Jones, a Harvard-educated single mother who once filed for bankruptcy and whose father spent time in jail.
This article notes that she is part of a growing progressive wing of Democratic Party making gains under U.S.
President Joe Biden.
Of course, that's silly.
The individual that she replaced was a Democrat.
So it's like, wait a second, St.
Louis has probably had a Democrat mayor, I would imagine.
Probably the past 60, 70 years.
I thought you were going to say the growing ranks of Harvard grads who are single mothers whose fathers were in jail.
Well, you know, probably yes, but sorry, I didn't.
I can imagine anything I've heard one time.
So yes, that I'm sure we'll see this replicated in cities across the country.
Single, black, single mother, Ivy, Ivy league educated individuals whose parents, you know, it'd be better if it was twofer, if it was both father and mother.
So, um, but again, St.
Louis, Missouri holds the unenviable record of the highest murder rate in America.
It's actually ahead of Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit.
And of course, it's not as black as these cities.
It's a lot smaller than Chicago, so the number of blacks is a lot less overall than the number of blacks in Chicago and Detroit.
in Baltimore, but St. Louis is the most dangerous city in America. I believe, if you remember from
last week, we had a chart of the most dangerous cities in the world. St. Louis was sixth or seventh?
St. Louis is sixth, seventh in the entire world, coming after six particularly dangerous Mexican
cities, several within walking distance of the U.S.
border.
Now, the St.
Louis Metropolitan Police Department publishes exact racial data on the suspects in homicides, and it's always 95% of known suspects are black.
If you were to break out, extrapolate the data, Mr. Taylor, I'm sure that St.
Louis, if it was just blacks alone, it might be the most dangerous city in the world.
I think it most definitely would be.
Because, let's see, the most dangerous city in the world is 109 murders per 100,000 inhabitants.
St.
Louis is 87.
87, that's right, that's pretty doggone close.
And what is it, about half black?
It's about half, it's about 49% black, 45% white.
So that means, that means that the murder rate among blacks is 170%.
That makes it way over the top.
There you go.
So what is Tashara Jones going to do?
Well, the first black female mayor of St.
Louis told the Telegraph, St.
Louis needs a lot of help.
We still have two separate police unions, one for black officers, one for white officers.
If they can't trust each other, then how can they expect the public to trust them?
So she was asked why she wants to cut $4 million from the $171 million policing budget and shut down one of the city's two prisons.
So there will only be one.
She said, quote, more police doesn't prevent crime.
She's a 49-year-old.
She was speaking in her grand wood-paneled office in downtown.
Not a stone's throw from the beautiful arch.
And she said quote research done in the police department shows that 50% of calls can be answered by someone other
than the police So why not deploy someone other than the police and free up
police to do the work that they were trained to do in our Academy the controversial jail known as the work house is
an uninhabitable institution that should have been closed years ago. She said
Its closure would save the city about $7 million per year.
The 600 inmates, who are mostly there awaiting trial, may be sent to other facilities in the wider St.
Louis metropolitan area.
Is that where Dad was?
So that's how she learned about it?
You know, I don't know the answer to that.
What I do know is that her father spent a year in jail for fraud in 1995.
In 1999, she filed for bankruptcy after a failed restaurant venture.
In 2000, her mother died from cancer.
That's very sad.
Last year, she actually underwent a treatment for uterine fibroids and non-cancerous tumors in her uterus.
So she's had a tough life, you know?
But again, she's that single mother with that Harvard ad.
That's nice credentials there.
True.
But again, we're seeing this in city after city after city, and most disastrously, we saw these policies play out in Philadelphia.
We've talked about this many times.
Everybody wanted to laud the DA Krasner, I believe his name is.
Larry Krasner.
They thought he was this, this is the prototype for what we can do.
Philadelphia has If I remember correctly, they were one of the highest percentage growths in homicides and non-fatal shootings during the George Floyd celebration year of 2020, which we're about to come up on the anniversary of.
And now people are beginning, you're beginning to see that pushback slowly.
But is it, are we running out of white people in some of these cities to actually want better police?
I just saw a headline to the fact that there was some election in Philadelphia that boosted his power.
I don't remember the details, but I don't think that guy's on his way out.
I think he's on his way up, alas.
But speaking of black mayoresses, Lori Lightfoot, of course, is the mayor of Chicago.
And she is halfway through her first term and what is likely to be her only term because she's not going to run.
I guess the job does not suit her.
She has reportedly announced that she will give interviews only to black or brown journalists.
No honkies.
I guess no Asians either.
Wait, wait.
You can't use that word in Scrabble.
You can't use that word on this podcast.
Oh, okay.
Only Scrabble certified words allowed.
Okie doke.
And there are three separate white journalists who confirmed this.
They've been turned down.
Unreal.
Well, well.
Yep.
But, you know, she is the first black female mayor, the first lesbian mayor.
And so I would say on an intersectionality score, she comes in at about 1 million.
A real intersectionality queen.
And gosh, imagine if she were also one-legged.
Gosh, she would be practically an unassailable god.
But after all, with all this intersectionality, her lived experience is holy writ.
And so nobody apparently is much complaining. They're reporting this, but no one says it's too bad.
But as I was just imagining the other day, what if the Montesantis, a white man, governor of Florida,
decided he would give interviews only to white people?
What if, what if Marjorie Taylor Greene said, I will only speak to blond-haired, blue-eyed white people?
No more, you know?
That's right.
Matt Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz.
No, just white people.
Just white people.
But Lori Lightfoot, I mean, as I say, she is an intersectionality queen, and so she's going to get away with it if she decides to do this.
But we have the usual problem in Portland, Oregon.
And the usual problem is black people shooting each other.
So, a billboard campaign has been started to raise awareness of gun violence.
Well, I would think the people who are pulling the trigger are pretty well aware of gun violence.
But this is going to raise their awareness of gun violence.
It is run by the founder of a non-profit, the No Hate Zone.
The No Hate Zone.
It's a white guy, Sam Sachs, and he helped organize the effort.
And this, as you might say, get this, Mr. Kersey.
I don't say that anymore.
You told me not to.
Get this.
He got a Bachelor's of Applied Science in Black Studies.
Applied Science?
Is Black Studies a science?
How do you apply this science?
In any case, a white guy with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Life Studies.
It's not on the papers I have before me.
I plead ignorance.
In any case, he introduced at a press conference the artist Elijah Hassan.
I think he has the lived experience that means he didn't have to go get a Bachelor of Applied Science in Black Studies.
And he explained the billboards thus, We really wanted to get at the core of what we think the issue is, and that is self-hate, and the environment that kind of manifested that self-hate, which I believe is white supremacy.
White supremacy is what causes black people to shoot each other.
That's what an applied science degree in black studies will teach you.
That's a simple equation.
I guess that's it.
Speaking of equations, you practically took the words out of my mouth because... Listen to this.
The poster has that famous, actually phonied up picture of a deck of a slave ship with every single person crammed in.
That has turned out to be something that an anti-slavery group invented.
That was never ever used as a model for actually transporting slaves.
This was a deliberate exaggeration by the anti-slavery people.
It's got that ship superimposed on a gold colored bullet.
And this is all next to a very rugged looking black guy.
And the text says this.
It's an equation.
Racism plus self-hate equals gun violence.
Reject the oppression.
In other words, you can stick your finger in the oppressor's eye by refraining from
shooting each other.
Reject the oppression.
And here's another one.
Gun violence is a sign of self-hate.
Destroy white supremacy, not each other.
Now does that mean they're supposed to shoot white people instead of black people?
How do you destroy white supremacy?
What percent black is Portland again?
It's like six, isn't it?
Oh, tiny, tiny.
Six, seven percent?
We talked about this city before because we're about to have that one-year anniversary and I would encourage all of our listeners out there, if you're still listening to this point, try and find And nominate what you believe was the craziest story of the George Floyd celebratory year of violence.
But in Portland, one of the first things they did that Ted Wheeler did, Mr. Taylor, they disbanded the gun group that was supposed to target, that was to try and stymie gun violence in the city.
And then in February of 2021, the community, A darker hued monochromatic community, the black community, basically demanded it back.
Where once it was racist seven months prior, it was now a necessity.
To stop this self-hate and white supremacist equation from... There are some sensible black people out there who realize that it's not honky pulling the trigger and it's not white supremacy that is somehow tricking black people to pull the trigger either.
In any case, this is the idea of these posters.
That white people, one way or another, are making black people shoot each other.
That is the great myth of the 21st century.
Now, officials in San Diego, they are putting up a whole different series of taxpayer-funded billboards which include the image of a young black man holding a black baby.
And this is the text.
Our black babies are nearly 60% more likely to be premature due to discrimination.
Racism hurts your baby long before they are born.
Okay, San Diego's what?
It's got to be... Oh, it's overwhelmingly... it's one of the... it's surprising.
It's close to Mexico, but Mexicans, apparently, they just jump... they don't want to be too close to Florida.
It might be my favorite city in the country.
It's beautiful.
I encourage anybody out there, if you ever want to go to a great place, Coronado Island, but...
I think San Diego is less than 5% black, if that?
Only a very small number.
Oh my goodness.
But are our black babies, our black babies, nearly 60% more likely, likely than what?
In any case, surely, of course, likely than whites, to be premature due to discrimination.
Racism hurts your baby long before they're born.
This is part of San Diego's perinatal equity initiative.
Now, it seems to me, what are we supposed to do about that?
The only solution seems to me is just not get pregnant.
If racism is beavering away, wrecking the life of your baby before it's even born, better not get pregnant.
What are people supposed to do when they see this?
I mean, not go to a doctor if you're pregnant?
Uh-oh!
Racism is hard at work already!
What are they even thinking?
Are they thinking that they have to have a black doctor to somehow negate the racism that is permeating the air?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But, you know, that's San Diego for you.
And yes, more mysteries abound.
Mysteries, mysteries everywhere.
Representative Cori Bush.
She's about, you know, you, you, uh, Marjorie Taylor Greene is your favorite Congresswoman?
I think Representative Cori Bush is my favorite.
Now she was elected to Congress just last year.
She's only 44 years old.
And she knocked out Lacey Clay in the primary.
Lacey Clay was one of these absolute permanent black fixtures in Congress.
He'd been in, he'd been a seat warmer for 20 years.
And the district, of course, includes St.
Louis, 50% black, and I thought that he was an absolute permanent fixture, but she dislodged him.
Well, a few interesting things about her.
Last April, before she elected to Congress, she didn't have medical insurance, so she was hospitalized with Corona, and she said that her struggle illustrates the need to pass Medicare for All.
Well, let's think about this.
She ran in the Democratic primary for the U.S.
Senate in 2016, and for her current congressional district in 2018, no medical insurance?
Eh?
No medical insurance?
Well, now we know why, Mr. Kersey.
Now we know why.
Representative Cori Bush spent years working as a faith healer for a religious group that claims to have resurrected the dead and cured thousands of people suffering from AIDS, cancer, paralysis, and other maladies.
And it also Cured her severe case of coronavirus.
I believe it.
It sure did.
Hallelujah!
Officials at her faith-healing church said that she was cured in 30 minutes after talking to the head pastor, Charles Ndifan, by phone from her hospital bed.
Corey, she had COVID and she called me from the hospital, said Ndifan, the presiding apostle of Kingdom Embassy International Church.
And 30 minutes later, she was breathing.
Healed!
It was that simple, says he.
Just talk to the presiding apostle from your hospital bed.
Now, Ndifon, it's spelled, I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right, but N-D-I-F-O-N is his last name, Ndifon's account of healing Bush was backed up by another member of the congregation who posted a Facebook video talking about the incident.
Now, Ndifon is a Nigerian-born religious and leadership guru who runs a global network of churches headquartered in Rhode Island.
And he first trained Cori Bush, now a congresswoman, to become a faith healer after she started attending his events in St.
Louis in 2011.
And she started conducting healings and opened the St.
Louis chapter of his Kingdom Embassy International Church.
So she is a certified, qualified, bonafide, rock-ribbed faith healer herself, and served as the pastor of that church from 2011 to 2014, according to corporate records and her LinkedIn page.
You know, the greater question is, why is this person not the Surgeon General already?
Well, wait a minute.
We'll get into that.
Your mind is racing ahead, as it always does.
Now, once in a while, cases they couldn't handle, they would send to me, said Ndi Fon.
But otherwise, I mean, she just apparently had an unblemished record as a faith healer.
She promoted the church and Ndi Fon on social media, elected to Congress last year, and since taking office, she's focused on issues such as the rise of white supremacy in Congress.
A severe and menacing problem.
Now, I've never heard of this Mdiphon guy before, but apparently he has faith healing events with stadium-sized crowds.
And he does this in Europe, too.
As I said, it's a worldwide network of these healing churches.
The European press notes that he solicits donations from attendees and he stays at luxury hotels and he wears designer suits.
What's wrong with that?
Sounds like a great living.
Well, you know, I mean, if he heals people with AIDS and he heals people with paralysis and gosh, he deserves first-class hotels and designer suits.
In any case, he has published 52 books.
And he has audio collections about healing miracles and wealth creation.
He's done a good job at wealth creation, I bet.
Well for himself.
Oh yes, oh well, yes.
Now, he said he has done hundreds of thousands of healings and performed miracles including, drumroll please, diverting Hurricane Katrina's path away from Florida.
No.
Yes!
No, he did.
Yes, he did.
He's the one who did that?
He's the one who did that!
That's right.
I've been wondering since 2005 who diverted Kirk Hinketree from Florida.
Now, I would think the people of New Orleans would have a case against him.
But no, he says, we're going to spare Florida and we're going to sick it on New Orleans.
Also, he caused the rain to stop for two weeks during the monsoon season in India.
Which season?
Ah, the monsoon season.
Okay, what year?
I don't know. I don't know.
You need to look this guy up.
He's a ball of fire.
Now in Congress, this is something I don't understand.
Congresswoman Bush is all about health equity for mothers, whom she refers to as birthing people.
Birthing people.
Because, you know, men might do it too.
Of course they can.
Or children, or who knows.
Trees.
I guess they're not people.
In any case, and she wants Medicare for all.
Now, I don't understand that.
Because according to the teachings of the church, illnesses are the result of demonic forces that must be expelled from the body.
So it's all this heretical nonsense about Medicare.
And, as you point out, we need Indifan for Surgeon General.
I think we need him for Health Czar.
And I think we should replace every hospital in the country with a branch of the Kingdom Embassy International Church.
Forget Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Don't we spend about 13% of GNP on medicine?
All we need to do is buy this guy a few more designer suits and we can fire all the doctors in the country.
So, uh, and it seems to me a guy who can divert hurricanes and stop the rain can surely expel the demonic forces from all those black people who are shooting each other.
White supremacy is doing it, right?
Well, who needs that poster campaign in Portland?
Oh, well, maybe white supremacy is the most powerful, most demonic force on the earth, and not even Pastor Reverend Deacon Ndifan can prevail over that.
I think that's the problem.
I got to tell you, we've been doing these podcasts for four or five, many years.
You can go back through the archive.
I don't even remember what this one is.
That might be one of the funniest stories I've ever heard because that person's in Congress.
This person is legislating and passing bills and and enacting democracy that impacts all of us.
But she's fighting white supremacy.
So she's doing the Lord's work.
And her mentor can somehow stop hurricanes from hitting one state that dramatically hit
and leveled the, what was it?
The levees that were blown up.
It wasn't that what Spike Lee said, they were blown up deliberately.
Yes, he said that.
He said that, a lot of black people thought that.
But anyway, yep, she'll probably be voting on police reform, which is the subject
on which we seek enlightenment from Mr. Kersey, you yourself right now.
Well, which city are we talking about?
We just talked about St.
Louis.
We're going to talk about a PBS story that I saw.
A majority of Americans that stated policing should be reformed, but most white people don't think so.
So they, of course, give the opening paragraph inverted pyramid style, high profile killing of George Floyd and subsequent trial forced many Americans to examine systemic racism and its role in the criminal justice over the past last year.
Of course, I only did the exact opposite.
I asked that horrible question.
If there are more black people in jail, that's probably because they commit more crime.
Can't ask that.
Poll conducted May 4th to May 10th, 32% of US adults said they believe local police treat people of color more harshly, which is up an astonishing 25% since September 2015.
When you're told that every day for a year, I'm sure that's going to go up a little bit.
I'm actually surprised it didn't go up a little higher, but there's a huge racial discrepancy.
With 25% of white people saying people of color are treated more harshly while 61% of blacks felt that to be the case.
Well, does that mean 75% of white people think the police treat everybody the same regardless of race?
That's pretty good, really.
I agree.
In the face of this absolute Hurricane Katrina of information to the contrary, it's remarkable that 75% of white people have kept their heads.
So, Republicans are split on whether or not Chauvin should have been convicted with the murder of George Floyd.
Apparently in this study, 52% say they agree with Chauvin's conviction.
However, 89% of blacks, 74% of white Americans total, and 79% of Latino Americans.
Overall, 51% of Americans say they approve of Biden's handling of race relations.
Now, the big thing that the big takeaway from this, though, was the PBS story notes that
on April 28th, when Biden gave his first address to a joint session of Congress, he vowed to
pay attention to intelligence reports warning of growing white supremacist.
He said white supremacy is terrorism.
We're not going to ignore that either.
Of course, as we know in Portland, it's basically only black people shooting one another and the reason for that is, what was it?
White supremacy.
So they have an obligatory paragraph about the quote-unquote insurrection on January 6th, which was mainly just a bunch of boomers walking around, invited into the Capitol.
Oh, come on, come on.
We need to be truthful.
We need to be truthful.
There was a certain amount of pounding and rioting.
Come on.
Not all Americans agree that white supremacy is the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today.
This is what the article ends with, as Biden said.
Nearly half, 48% of U.S.
adults disagree with that statement, including, I'm going to throw it out there for you, get this, 88% of Republicans and 55% of Independents.
Barbara Carvalho, who directs the Marist Poll, said this, there's a lot that divides us, There is a very strong consensus that things should and can
be better and we need to work towards that.
And you have to wonder, does this person mean that she hopes we work towards more and more people
admitting that, like, what, it should be less than, you know, 90% of Americans believe that
the most lethal threat to the homeland is quote-unquote white supremacy? Is that what she means?
I'm sure that's what she means. We need to get all singing off the same page of music here.
Everybody's got to agree that white supremacy is the worst problem.
But what are those numbers again though?
How many white people are skeptical about this theory of the danger of white supremacy?
They didn't break it up by whitey, but they broke it up by...
Political orientation and affiliation.
88% of Republicans disagree with the statement.
88%?
55% of independents.
Now when we get to 2022, we see this inflation setting in, we see who knows what type of insanity we're going to get on the international scale.
Is this the winning message, Mr. Taylor, for Democrats?
White supremacy.
Well, it's true.
It's true that if some voter at a town meeting gets up and says, what are you going to do about the soaring shooting and murder rate?
during the crack wars of the 90s. It's shocking what's happening in these major cities.
Well, it's true. It's true that if some voter at a town meeting gets up and says,
what are you going to do about the soaring shooting and murder rate? And the candidate says,
I'm going to fight white supremacy. I'm going to fight systemic racism.
Yes.
I wonder how that'll go.
One last quick little anecdote for you.
We talked about the Atlanta mayor deciding not to run for office because, and people speculate, because of how bad crime is.
It's out of control there.
I saw a story today, Neil Bortz, the former talk show host, really good guy, actually.
He tweeted out a story about how it's not just in the quote-unquote bad neighborhoods anymore.
It's increasing violence on the highways of 285, 85, 75.
Just bullets are just randomly flying into cars and motorists are getting shot.
I mean, when you have this type of stuff happening, ladies and gentlemen, and people listening across the world, you know, American expats, it really makes you wonder what's going to happen.
When this sort of thing starts happening, Americans start immigrating to El Salvador.
We'll see that next.
Anyway, moving right along to Dallas.
This was just a sickening story.
I'm sorry to say, our listeners.
18-year-old Darylin Brown, heavily melanin-enhanced.
He was busted for evading arrest last April, but his case was still pending, so he was still walking around until last Friday.
He pushed into the home of a four-year-old white boy who remains unnamed, busted into the back door in the wee hours of night, and kidnapped him Saturday morning.
Well, the boy was found shirtless and shoeless in the street before 5 a.m., so he didn't last long as a kidnap victim.
His name, by the way, is actually Cash Gernon.
Oh, Cash.
Okay, Cash Gernon.
All right.
Well, as I say, shirtless and shoeless, alas, also dead.
Stabbed many times.
And apparently this suspect, 18-year-old Darlene Brown, didn't know the boy.
The boy's grieving mom said she had no idea what led Brown to attack her white little boy.
Well, I think he probably wanted to cure him of white privilege before it really began to take hold.
Now, my guess is we will never hear of Cash Gernon.
My guess is this is the end of any kind of news coverage of Cash Gernon.
There'll be maybe a plea deal, and this will just become a statistic.
These stories are just so common.
I think it was Kanan Hinnant last year in August.
Yeah, you know, there have been stories.
You recall in 2019, the black guy who threw the white kid off in the Mall of America there in Minneapolis, which is fascinating.
You think about that.
And then that was January or February of 2019.
And then it would be, what, 15 months later that this racial insanity kicks off?
It was always brewing there on that side.
You have a situation where... I've been to the Mall of America many times.
It's terrifying how big the place is and how expansive and how wide open that is.
And I can imagine You know, the horror of a mom being there holding her son's hand and all of a sudden... Yeah, pitch him off the balcony.
I can't remember that kid's name.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Well, I mean, he has just become another statistic.
Landon.
I think it was Landon something.
Could be.
I don't remember.
Your memory for these things is better than mine.
But yeah, the one cannon hit it was the one that was really shocking.
Yeah, the little fellow riding on a tricycle.
And his next door neighbor walked up and what, shot him?
I think shot him or slit his throat.
He was shot in front of his brother, and I believe they arrested the female accomplice, too, a week later.
Our next-door neighbor!
And they'd had the guy over for a beer just the night before or something like that.
Incredible!
But these things, you know, nobody cares about that.
That's of no matter.
And yet another story.
Now, this is an intriguing one.
The Boy Scouts of America.
The Boy Scouts have gone through considerable changes lately.
Are they still Boy Scouts?
Is that the name?
Well, they still call themselves the Boy Scouts, but they'll probably change that, you know.
They'll probably call themselves, I don't know, the Inclusive Genderfluid Scouts of America.
It released a long letter.
Reiterating its support for Black Lives Matter.
And it explained the implementation of new diversity measures.
One thing it's going to do is review the names of everything in their organization.
Oh, they're all gone.
Including any and all insignia.
Now, what do you mean they're all gone?
All the names, I mean, think about the Boy Scouts.
Well, they say they're going to ensure that symbols of oppression are not in use or are in the future.
So, Tenderfoot, for example.
I bet that's racist, or at least sexist.
Well, Weeblow, I mean, Weeblow, that's an Indian.
Were you in the Boy Scouts?
Never, no.
I know about tender feet, though.
But a tender foot, I mean, that's a word.
And then a scout's honor, that's probably, you know, that's probably expropriating American Indian courage or something.
Who knows?
Who knows?
It'll be left.
But do you know specifically any scout lingo that's been obliterated on account of this?
I don't know.
It has been many moons since I was a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and then I was on the verge of doing Weblo.
I think that's what it was called.
That's, I think, the stage before you go to begin your Eagle Scout.
I see.
Weblo.
But I don't... Yeah.
Well, they'll probably have to get rid of that.
That sounds suspiciously Native American.
It doesn't sound Anglo.
No, it shouldn't.
But that'd be bad, too.
That'd be bad, too.
But in any case... Now, on May 1st, they had promised to come out with requirements for a new merit badge.
A new merit badge for diversity.
But, they haven't quite come out with it yet, and they were saying they're going to make this Diversity and Inclusion Merit Badge a requirement to make EGLE.
Every EGLE will have to go to this Diversity, Inclusion, and etc.
Merit Badge.
But, apparently there's a certain amount of dickering going on, and they haven't released the final decision on that.
Is the equity word there?
Is it Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity?
Well, I gather it's no, no, no, no, no.
Pointing directly at the Boy Scout legacy.
Diversity and Inclusion Merit Badge.
Equity?
No, no equity yet.
Now, you probably know all about this because I was never a Boy Scout, but apparently to become an Eagle, an Eagle Scout, and you know, there's probably something either cultural appropriation or racist or sexist about Eagle.
Maybe it's homophobic.
I don't know.
In any case, Eagle's probably gonna have to go too.
But a total of 21.
Now, out of the total of 20, there are 13 required ones.
13.
One is first aid.
Yeah, sounds good.
And then the next one is citizenship in the community.
Yeah.
Next, citizenship in the nation.
Yeah.
Citizenship in the world.
I know a lot of Eagle Scouts and they did great things.
But citizenship in the nation.
Okay, now you're going to have to convince me that that's got something to do with Boy Scout.
Then next one is communication.
Is that semaphore or is that learning how to read and write?
What's communication, Mary Badge?
I don't know that one.
And then cooking.
Well, I guess if it's, you know, camp cooking.
Camp cooking is important.
You've got to know what shrubs you can put in, what mushrooms to eat.
Yeah, which mushrooms to avoid.
Then personal fitness.
That's okay.
Everyone should have to have that.
Yes.
Then emergency preparedness.
That sounds good.
Or life-saving, one or the other.
Then environmental science or sustainability.
Well, I guess if you're out in the woods, you know, you don't want to be burning down forests and things like that.
Then, another one is personal management.
That is a required merit badge.
That's a good thing.
What's personal management?
Personal accountability.
You know, make your bed in the morning.
Be hygienic.
Is that learning how to tie your shoes?
Learning how to tuck your shirt in, wear a belt, don't look slovenly.
But that's for Boy Scouts?
Anyway, how about knot tying, you know, and canoeing, and kayaking?
That's emergency preparedness.
Pooey, it sure isn't.
Then another one is you have a choice of swimming or hiking or cycling.
I think all three should be.
Yeah, all three are good.
That's a trend of fun right there.
Then another requirement, and this is okay too, is camping.
Camping.
It's fantastic.
Yes, camping.
You've got to know how to camp to be Boy Scouts.
That sounds good to me.
No, exactly.
No riflery, no hunting, no archery, none of that stuff.
No, I don't know, edged weapons training, no hand-to-hand combat, no open hand skills, no.
And then the last one is family life.
That's good!
Whoa, that's gone.
That can't be there anymore.
No, no, no.
They'll keep it.
They'll just expand the boundaries.
Pronouns.
Families come in all kinds.
Well, in any case, just as a slight coda to this little diversion of the Boy Scouts, it filed for bankruptcy last year.
It did?
So there you go.
No, but you're going to tell me about a television show that I never watched.
Apparently, it's probably America's most famous and popular television show.
I never saw it, but do tell me all about it.
If it hasn't been your day, your month, or even your year, you probably don't know that that's a reference to the theme song of Friends.
Friends was one of the more popular shows.
It was part of that NBC lineup of, I believe, Frasier and Seinfeld at one point.
When I first started Kind of thinking about this type of stuff.
It was in the mid-90s, and I remember reading an Entertainment Weekly article that regretted how white the NBC must-see Thursday lineup was.
You had Friends, you had Frasier, which is the whitest show in the history of television.
It's incredible.
And then you had Seinfeld.
I thought The Three Stooges was the whitest show.
Some would argue that.
But Frasier was fantastic.
But Friends?
Friends?
They're going to do Reunion because there's a lot of money to be made in these Reunion shows.
They're going to be airing exclusively on HBO Max soon.
What is a reunion show?
I believe the show ended in the mid-2000s, so it's been 15 years.
They're going to bring everyone back and they're going to talk about memories.
I don't know if they're going to pretend they're still the characters or if they're going to be in character.
Of what we, you know, you loved us so much it's been, you know, all of America, you know, there were six of them.
There were three white guys, three white girls, and all of America who watched was the seventh friend.
Because they wanted to be part of that... Of a community.
Exactly.
And so they got it, you know, through television.
Through the telescope!
So here's what's happening though.
So the Friends reunion is going to feature guest appearances from people who made appearances on the show.
Lady Gaga, David Beckham, Cindy Crawford, Tom Selleck, Reese Witherspoon.
But it's starting to come under fire because none of the people who are going to make guest appearances and none of the main characters that were ever on the show...
Well, probably not even Hispanic, Asian, nothing.
Every one of them was white.
They're all white.
They're all white.
There's one Pakistani activist, Malaya.
They're facing a backlash.
Somebody wrote on Twitter, it's been 17 years and y'all still haven't made any black friends?
LOL, SMH.
Well, wait.
The show's over, right?
The show's over, but it's still... And so the idea is they're not supposed to have this reunion?
Yeah.
Well, no, no.
The idea is that it's insufficiently black.
Here's some more quotes for you.
Just caught a look at the guests for the Friends reunion and not a single black person.
I knew all that talk about diversity was lip service.
That's a Twitter person.
Here's another good one.
Wonder if any black people have dared venture to the notoriously white New York City since we last caught up with the gang.
Friends reunion.
So many new friends.
None of them black.
After convincing us that New York City has no black or brown people in it for nine seasons, they issue a reunion with 25 celebrities and somehow evade finding a single black person.
So there's everybody's upset because probably I would argue this is one of the more popular shows ever in sitcom history again.
I'm glad you don't know about it.
I did watch it occasionally.
You know?
But yeah, in its last season, it got attacked for being so white that they basically shoehorned in a black female character that two of the white guys were supposed to be vying for.
And then they basically just did that for a couple episodes and then the character was gone.
So it was basically, hey look, we have a black character.
The two white guys, they both liked her and then, yep, she's out the door.
No.
If it's too white, it's just not right.
Well, now, here's a white guy that we can talk about.
A particularly loathsome white guy.
He is Reverend Robert W. Lee IV.
Ah, I know about him.
You know about him?
Well, since 2016, he has been parlaying his claim to be a collateral descendant of General Robert E. Lee into standing for the noble cause of removing Confederate statutes and memorials.
He stood with Virginia Governor Ralph Northam when the governor announced last June, in the wake of the George Floyd protests, which changed everything and which instructed people that Robert E. Lee had to go, that the Lee statue in Richmond would be removed.
He was standing there, right there.
And he says, says Robert W. Lee IV, there are members in my family who are shaking in their boots.
I'm sure my ancestor, Robert E. Lee, is rolling in his graves, and I say, let him roll.
Disgusting.
What a bootlicker.
He also said, I have borne the weight and responsibility of that lineage.
Oh, the poor boys descended from General Lee.
Oh, the poor thing.
What a, what a cross to bear.
As it turns out, the Washington Post did a long investigative story on this, and there's no evidence to his claim at all.
This guy is a phony.
He's a complete fake.
So not only is a bootlicker, he's a fraud and a phony.
And the WAPO ends its story by saying, Rob Lee did not acknowledge our many queries for evidence of his connection to Robert E. Lee.
His father also did not return a phone call.
So there you go.
Fraud is out the door.
And good riddance, good riddance to Rob Lee.
Oh, just to circle back to one thing we were talking about.
The kid's name was Landon Hoffman, the ball of America.
I did not know this.
I actually just looked this up.
He is walking.
His parents wrote, two years ago, our family suffered an unimaginable tragedy at the hands of a stranger.
We were often asked to share our story about that day and our journey since.
We know people are curious and want to hear about our sweep on our family, but that is not something we're ready for.
We are ready or able to do it this time.
So God bless the Hoffman family and all the people who donated more than a million dollars on GoFundMe.
Is that right?
But at least GoFundMe let them ask for money.
In the old days before social media decided to crack down on all the irredeemables, that story, the Landon Hoffman story, was one of the most read stories on UNZ.com ever because of utilizing social media.
And that's when you started to see the wind shift.
Stories like that, Mr. Taylor, because that's what people were sharing on Facebook and Twitter, and you can't have that.
Well, these days, I suppose they would still let the bereaved parents or the grieving parents of some person, perhaps damaged for life by a random black attacker, try to get money on one of these fundraising programs, but anyway.
Well, moving on to another uplifting tale, and this is STD rates.
They used to be called venereal disease, but now they're sexually transmitted disease.
I'm not sure what the difference is, but the modern thing is STDs.
Well, in 2019, there were 2.5 million cases reported of the three most common STDs, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
Lovely.
Now, that was a nearly 30% increase between 2015 and 2019. 30%.
Now, the sharpest increase was in cases of syphilis among newborns, congenital syphilis, which quadrupled.
Quadrupled!
Did they break this down by...?
Now, this I could not find a breakdown, but I have my suspicions, and I confess that my suspicions are probably not very egalitarian.
Now, according to Raul Romaguera, who is the acting director of the CDC's Division of STD Prevention... I feel safer already.
Well, I guess they're not doing a good job.
Well, consider you just said that infant syphilis quadrupled.
Nice job, CDC!
Nice job, Raoul!
You were right on the masks and you were right on this, man.
He says, less than 20 years ago, gonorrhea rates in the U.S.
were at historic lows.
Syphilis was close to elimination, and advances in chlamydia diagnostics made it easier to detect infections.
He says, now we are losing ground rapidly.
America is less white.
Consequences are in the bedroom, right?
I don't know.
Don't know.
It could just be a coincidence.
But before the COVID-19 pandemic, these numbers and preliminary 2020 data suggest that many of these trends continued to deteriorate because much of the country experienced major disruptions in STD testing and treatment because everything was devoted to COVID.
So this is yet another one of those costs of COVID.
Now, the press release from the CDC says, it's talking about sexually transmitted disease, it continued to hit racial and ethnic minority groups.
Oh no.
Like a bolt from the blue.
It's like gun violence.
It erupts.
It's miosmosis.
No, it's not.
That's getting a little too close to home.
No, it just drops out of the sky.
Come on.
Or maybe they sit on the wrong toilet seat.
That's what she said.
It continued to hit racial and ethnic minority groups, gay and bisexual men.
Yes.
No.
It just hit them in the most unjust and inexcusable way.
Black people were five to eight times more likely than white people to have an STD.
Now, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islanders, three to five times more likely.
You said blacks five times more likely?
Five to eight times more likely.
Five to eight?
Oh, wow.
It depends on the disease.
There are... I could go into the details.
I'd rather... We'll skip the details.
PG Show.
And Hispanics, Latino people, maybe one and a half to two times the white rate.
Interestingly enough, they don't include Asians.
In this press release, they did not mention Asians at all.
The people we just talked about, that were three to five times more, those were Alaska Native, American Indian, Native Hawaiian, other Pacific Islanders.
So they didn't even bother to count the ordinary Asians, who I'm sure, they usually have rates at maybe one-half, the honky rate, one-third, something like that.
There you go, using that Scrabble unapproved word again.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm going to go brush my teeth with soap after this podcast.
Now, this is what struck me.
Gay and bisexual men make up nearly half of all 2019 primary and secondary syphilis cases.
Now that is a small number of the population.
They make up nearly half and this is another staggering, a staggering statistic.
Gonorrhea rates for gay and bisexual men were 42 times that of heterosexual men.
Do they break out?
Nope, sorry.
Okay, I'm curious.
I'm interested.
Yes, inquiring minds want to know.
I'm interested.
Inquiring minds want to know, but the CDC does not want you to know.
In any case, so that's the news from the CDC.
Now, race norming.
You know about race norming?
I'm well aware of race norming.
I believe you're talking about the NFL, correct?
I'm talking about the NFL.
Now, the first lawsuits accusing the NFL of hiding what it knew about the link between concussions and brain damage was filed in 2011.
And rather than go to trial, the NFL agreed in 2013 to pay $765 million over a period of 65 years for certain diagnoses including Alzheimer's and dementia.
In other words, if you played too much football and you got your head banged up too much and you were sufficiently damaged, you get a payout.
Now, District Judge Anita B. Brody of Philadelphia is overseeing the massive settlement and as the claims poured in, She discovered that it was going to run out and she lifted the cap.
So, despite the fact that in 2013 the NFL figured it was on the hook for 765 million dollars over 65 years.
No, no, no, no.
We're going to read out the rules and we don't know how much you have to pay, but you're going to have to pay.
Well, under the settlement, the NFL has insisted on using a scoring algorithm on a dementia test.
That assumes, believe it or not, that black men start out with lower cognitive skills than white men.
So, you take a dementia test, and in order to get a payout, a black former player has got to get a lower score than a white guy.
Because the assumption is that he started already... I mean, if he's dim to begin with, and he's dim now, it's probably not because of being hit in the head too often.
We have the Wonderlic data, which actually supports that.
Of course it does.
Which breaks it down.
All data, all data everywhere supports this.
And that data is systemically racist.
Oh, sorry.
In March, in March, interestingly enough, Anita Brody threw out a civil rights lawsuit that claimed that this practice was discriminatory.
Can you believe that?
I can.
I can believe anything now.
I can imagine it, but I can't believe it.
Those are different.
That is different.
Good point.
Touche.
Later, she said she had a rethink and she decided this question raised a very important issue and asked a magistrate judge to compile a report.
Now, so I'm sure we're going to decide, no, no, no, no, no.
We can't do that.
We're opening up a big can of worms here.
We sure are.
Now, the majority of the league's 20,000 retirees are black.
And only a quarter of the more than 2,000 men who sought awards for early to moderate dementia qualified under the testing program.
Yes.
So, only a quarter.
So, three quarters of them said, no, no, no.
You're not dim enough.
You're not demented enough.
We're not going to pay you.
You were dim to begin with.
So, lawyers for black payers have asked for details on how the $800 million in settlement payouts so far.
See, they've already gone through the cap.
It was $765 million.
Now, they've already paid out $800 million.
Who knows how many more millions to go.
How the payouts have broken out along racial lines.
But the NFL, which foots the bill, as I say, just does not want to pay if people are marching in and making false claims.
Now, I don't understand how you couldn't jimmy a test like that.
If you know that the stupider you appear and the more demented you appear, I think I could fake dementia.
But in any case, this idea that black people have to score lower than whites.
This is too bad.
Now, this is not chump change.
The awards average more than $400,000 for a 1.5 level dimension.
Now, I don't know how bad that is and can reach 1.5 million for men under 45 who've already got 1.5 dementia, while 2.0 level dementia is an average payout of more than $600,000 can reach $3 million.
So, this is significant money and I will make a prediction to you with complete 100% confidence, Mr. Kersey, and that is they're going to change the rules and everybody I would even go one step further and say, at some point, there will be no test administered.
If you can just prove some form of dementia or brain damage from the trauma, you know, from the impact of your NFL career.
Well, we have very little time.
Oh, we have only one minute left.
So, do you have a quick item to cover?
Can you cover one really quick?
One, kind of, one of those old Tempora Home Wars, like the old journal used to be.
We've talked about Walgreens in San Francisco, where prop 47 passed by voters in 2014.
Lower penalties for thefts under $950 to be punishable by up to six months in jail.
So basically, if you didn't steal anything over $950, they were going to arrest you.
They didn't care.
But what's happened in San Francisco, we have seen 17 Walgreens closed in the past five years because of the unbelievable rates of theft that have occurred there.
And now they are, of course, Pharmacy deserts and areas that are the hardest hit areas are those that have the lowest amount of honkies.
Well, if I dare to use that word.
No, you don't.
