Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Radio Renaissance.
I am Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
The date is July 29th, 2021, and with me is my indispensable co-host, and we would like to start, as we often do, with something that was brought up by one of our listeners.
Earlier, someone had suggested that we look into this phenomenon known as Tang Ping, or lying flat, as a possible means for whites to protest against what's going on in the United States.
And having looked into it, or actually having been informed by some of our listeners as to what it's all about, My answer is a resounding no.
This is by no means a solution to our problem.
In fact, it's the opposite of the solution.
But it is an interesting phenomenon.
So, I would like to read you what we learned from one of our well-informed listeners.
He had a Chinese name, I don't know whether he's from China or not, but he is a dedicated listener and explained to us that it has to do with China's disillusioned Generation YZ and millennial generations, many of whom have decided to quit the rat race and shrug off societal norms and expectations, close their ears to the Communist Party's preaching about stamina and self-realization.
These are young people who've chosen to leave their underpaid jobs, forego most consumption, and withdraw socially to lie around the house, their parents' house.
And this is what's given rise to what is called the Tang Ping movement, which means lie flat.
So you lie, not on the different part of your anatomy, but on your back, apparently.
And many say on social media they feel they can no longer endure the hardships, frustrations, and emptiness of trying to get ahead in China's rat race.
Many young job starters have little choice or bargaining power and work long hours for nothing or practically nothing.
Now, the graduates from prestigious universities who have clawed their way into the top jobs, they're better paid, but they must accept apparently something that's called the notorious 9-9-6 culture.
Now, Mr. Kersey, 9-9-6 means they have to be ready to work from 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m.
six days a week.
Wow, okay.
Yes, 9-9-6.
Now, hard work seldom pays off, they say, so they choose a low-desire life, as they call it.
They have tried to take a page out of the lifestyle of some Japanese youngsters who, and this is the way it's put it, no consumption, no home ownership, no marriage, no sex, no kids, and no zeal about anything.
So, basically giving up on life.
Giving up on what?
And what makes life worth living.
It's the struggle.
It's waking up knowing that, hey, today might have sucked, but tomorrow has the potential to be when I make it.
And yeah, that's kind of new-agey, but you know what?
I believe the preamble to the Constitution had some line about securing the blessings and liberty for our posterity.
So if you engage in the activity you're describing here, you're completely You're just checking up on responsibility.
Giving up completely.
As I say, this is absolutely the wrong thing for racially conscious white people.
We need to be engaged.
None of this lie flat.
We stand up straight, we stand up tall, and we go full speed ahead.
None of this Tang Ping stuff.
Leave that to the Chinese.
That is my response to Tang Ping.
So, Come up with better ideas, listeners.
That's a lousy one.
That's a lousy one, but hey, we do encourage you to send us your ideas, your stories.
More importantly, opt in.
Say, hey, we'd love to be part of that newsletter.
I keep saying it's award-winning.
It really is because you get access to the best pieces that Mr. Taylor selects each week from the wonderful writings at amrin.com.
So do me a favor.
Send your email because we live here at protonmail.com.
Once again, all one word.
Because we live here at ProtonMail.com or you can come to the amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com and hit the contact us tab.
And now let us leap into our first story, and this is somewhat ominous and menacing story.
We have these from time to time.
PayPal Holdings Inc.
is joining up with the Anti-Defamation League, our good friends at the ADL, to investigate how extremist and hate movements in the United States take advantage of financial platforms to fund their criminal activities, this says.
That's the way the Reuters story begins.
Criminal activities.
Well, if they're worried about criminal activities, they're already against the law.
They shouldn't care.
The police should be taking care of that.
Just read a little further, and it's very clear they're talking about other things.
The initiative will be led through ADL's Center on Extremism.
Not illegal activities that are on extremism and will focus on uncovering and disrupting the financial flows supporting white supremacist and anti-government organizations.
It will also look at networks spreading and profiting, spreading and profiting from anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism, anti-immigrant, anti-black, anti-Hispanic, and anti-Asian bigotry.
What have they left out?
I don't know.
No anti-white bigotry.
There's no such thing.
The information collected through the initiative will be shared with other firms in the financial industry.
Now that, yes, the idea clearly is just pinch off any way to make money or to send money or even have a bank account, presumably.
So that seems to be the plan.
Now, over the years, the San Jose, California-based company PayPal has developed sophisticated systems to help prevent illegal activity and flows through its platform.
Illegal activity, that's fine.
They can stop that all they want, but It hopes to have a positive social impact by sharing some of its capabilities.
Thus saith Aaron Kazmer, PayPal's Chief Risk Officer and Executive Vice President for Risk and Platforms.
As part of the new initiative, PayPal and the ADL will also work with other civil rights organizations, including the League of United Latin American Citizens.
Now, white people never have civil rights organizations.
That's ipso facto impossible, so there won't be any of them.
Now, thus speaketh Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL's CEO.
He says, We have a unique opportunity to further understand how hate spreads and develop key insights that will inform the efforts of the financial industry, law enforcement, and our communities in mitigating extremist threats.
Yes.
How it spreads.
How hate spreads.
They're going to stop the spread.
Now, this is all very murky.
They claim they're fighting illegal activity.
Clearly, what they're fighting is opinions with which they disagree, and I suspect that very much the idea is make it impossible.
It's already hard enough to process credit cards.
They want to just jerk their bank accounts.
You know, that'll fix them.
There was a tremendous tweet that Darren Beattie retweeted.
Someone noticed that When they actually looked at what was said, it says this,
quote, although this is a frequent violation of users' privacy, PayPal's Terms of Service
Agreement grants them and their partners the ability to collect and analyze detailed user and
transaction data, including home addresses, personal characteristics, banking info, purchase history,
geolocation, biometrics, and employment information. This is a situation that should
concern anyone.
A lot of normal conservative sites have actually been talking about, wait a second, this is overreach.
Again, we're reaching a point, Mr. Taylor, where the conservative Republicans, there's a vacuum to the right of Donald Trump.
Five, six years ago, Donald Trump brought up ideas that we know are what the base cares about.
Now we're starting to realize, through Tucker Carlson's popularity, We're ready for that next step and I think that's one of the things that is terrifying the elite.
I think the pushback to, here's a white pill for everyone, the pushback to critical race theory which is so self-evidently anti-white, which is so self-evidently trying to create a two-tiered system where every white child is forced from K through 12 to basically hate themselves.
Reading this story, this should infuriate all of our listeners worldwide because what is happening and being instituted by these NGOs And by big tech, is basically a social capital system beyond anything China could ever have imagined.
Indeed.
Snuff out the merest thought with which they disagree, and make sure that people who are thinking these thoughts are punished before they even think them, if possible.
Now here is a follow-up story.
Facebook.
This is described in an article in City Journal, which is pretty good.
City Journal, that's where Heather MacDonald writes up.
About as good as it gets, yeah.
Yeah, it's about as good as it gets, if you're not talking about American Renaissance.
But they write this, until recently, most online platforms largely defined hate speech as speech that could lead to imminent physical harm.
Well, they defined it that way, but they certainly didn't impress it that way.
No.
I mean, all the places that kicked us off, for heaven's sake, it had nothing to do with imminent physical harm.
But that is the way they described it.
Now, Facebook demands that its users not post, now I'm quoting here, speech critical of concepts, institutions, ideas, practices, or beliefs associated with protected characteristics and posts that are likely to contribute to imminent physical harm, intimidation, or discrimination against the people associated with that protected characteristic.
In other words, if you put up absolutely accurate information about black neighborhoods, crime rates for example, or venereal disease rates, all these sorts of things, which might lead some prudent person to avoid certain neighborhoods or certain people, that would be bad enough.
Just the facts alone, the facts alone that might lead people to make, to draw conclusions about groups or people with protected characteristics.
Needless to say, oppressor groups, like you and me, Mr. Kersey.
Obviously.
We are just single-handed oppressor groups.
I'm the equivalent of thousands.
You're the equivalent of ten thousands.
Yes, indeed.
We, of course, do not have protected characteristics.
No.
No, we have targeted characteristics, as PayPal has pointed out.
The City Journal goes on to say, and I thought this was a pretty good line, Anti-discrimination comes to mean enforced silence on behalf of protected groups, no matter how central the issue in question is to the nation's political and social future.
That's pretty good.
That is very good.
Yes, yes.
Anti-discrimination means silence about any negative characteristic against the establishment's pets.
Now, Facebook, of course, is one of the referees of our public square, a privilege that grants it the power to determine the thoughts, ideas, concepts, and political direction of the nation, says City Journal.
Bravo.
Now, this is the kind of thing that, of course, the ADL and Facebook won't care about at all, but you have a fascinating story about a Penn State teacher, and you can commit a crime if you're white simply by breathing.
We are headed, again, to go back to the story we started with.
This one comes from the Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft, a great website.
Penn State University is defending a professor who pulled a white student in front of his class and told him that he's Breathing.
So he may have oppressed someone today.
Breathing is all it takes.
Breathing is oppression.
Because we poison the air.
White breath is pock oppression.
Professor Sam Richards, who teaches the 700 student Sociology 119 Race and Ethnic Relations course, pulled students up for the class on June 30th.
He was going to discuss white privilege.
He said this, quote, I just take the average white guy in class, whoever it is, it doesn't really matter.
Dude, this guy here, stand up, bro.
What's your name, bro?
Student named Russell, stand up.
He says this, quote, look at Russell right here.
It doesn't matter what he does.
If I match him up with the black guy in class or a brown guy who's just like him, has the same GPA, looks like him, walks like him, talks like him, acts in a similar way, and we send him into the same jobs, Russell has a benefit of having white skin.
In another class on March 4th, Richard attacked two white students as oppressors while discussing critical race theory training taking place at Coca-Cola.
The company had made headlines earlier after revealing that they had instructed their employees to, I'm sure you all remember, listeners, quote, be less white, end quote.
He asked the class for the thoughts on the Coca-Cola slide which read, quote, to be less white is to be less oppressive, be less arrogant, be less certain, be less defensive, be less ignorant, be more humble, listen, believe, break with party, break with white solidarity, end quote.
God, I want a Coke after that.
You know, I assumed that Uncle Sam here would be melanin enhanced.
Oh, he's not.
No?
He's a white man.
Oh, brother Sam.
Well, when he asked this, a student, James, said this, I think, you know, it's more or less just recognizing the advantages you have in life, whatever that may be, and not thinking yourself superior because of that.
The professor, who seemed pleased with the answer, then turned to another student and asked, quote, what white people, what would white people find that offensive?
And Brian said conservatives, I guess.
So, anyways, the point is, stay away from Penn State.
If you have kids, don't send them to Penn State because they're going to be educated by Dr. Sam Richards.
And again, this goes into everything.
Think about how many times we've talked about strange courses, whether it's about quantum mechanics or black holes, algebra, geometry, everything has to be looked at now through the lens of How can we apply critical race theory, aka anti-whiteness, into this study, into this discipline?
And I'm sure, what did he have, 800 people in his class?
Just under 800 people, yeah.
Oh, people love this stuff, I guess.
White people, you know, they're like these cow dogs.
The more you kick them, the more they wag their tails.
At least I've heard there are such dogs.
I've never met one myself.
But it is just pathetic.
I suppose there must be white people in there who are just seething silently about this, but even so.
This may be enough.
You know, I guess if it's a course that size, I bet that you have to take it.
It's probably a prerequisite.
Yeah, it's a prerequisite to being a human being, much less graduating.
Well, now here's another story.
Richmond City Council has unanimously declared racism a public health crisis.
There you go.
Unanimously.
The declaration, surprisingly enough, comes five months after Virginia lawmakers passed a similar resolution.
What took Richmond so long?
Ah, they were busy tearing down statues.
I guess they were.
Now this resolution, which declares racism a public health crisis, mind you, a crisis, lays out a ten-point plan that includes new laws, I wonder what they'd be.
Public outreach efforts and anti-racism training for city officials and employees.
That will solve the problem, I'm sure.
But I'm really curious about these new laws.
You know, I think it should be against the law if public health is racism for white people to live longer than black people.
That would be good.
That would be good.
And, you know, if they do, the obvious punishment Compulsory suicide?
Yes, there you go.
They can't live longer than black people.
No, no, that's no good.
Now, as it turns out, 200 localities in the United States have declared such emergencies.
That's not enough.
Oh, not enough, not enough.
We've got the whole nation.
The federal government has yet to declare that, but I don't think they have to.
They act as if it already was declared.
Now, in this context of racism and public health crisis, recent research finds that in England and Wales, no data here for Scotland, but I doubt it's any different, in England and Wales, white people have the lowest life expectancy of any group.
The lowest!
The life expectancy of white women is 83.1 years.
Men, 79.7.
They don't even make it into their 80s.
That's the shortest of the 10 ethnic group studies.
Now.
Believe it or not, black African women had the longest life expectancy, 88.9.
Wow!
That's five years more than white women, followed by Bangladeshi women.
Okay.
Bangladesh has traditionally been this utter basket case of a country, but I guess once they find their way to Great Britain, they thrive.
Asian men had the highest life expectancy, 84.5.
That's almost five years longer than the poor, bloody white men.
Caucasians were more likely to die from cancer.
Cancer deaths were lowest among Indians, Pakistanis, and other Asian groups.
Now, interestingly enough, deaths from diabetes were lowest in white people.
But it was more likely, much more likely, to kill Bangladeshi and Pakistanis.
At the same time, prostate cancer is most likely to kill black Caribbean and black African men.
That's the same in the U.S., you know.
Prostate cancer is a big problem for black people.
It's diagnosed later, and it's often diagnosed in the most virulent state, and it has to do with serum testosterone levels.
It's just one of the basic facts of life.
One of those facts that's well known, well, it is well established, but little known.
It's well established, but, you know, we can't know it.
No, we can't know it.
Now, they say this also, that Asian and black people are less likely to engage in harmful behaviors such as smoking and drinking alcohol.
So these white people are bringing it upon themselves.
The white death.
It's not just in this country.
White privilege is on the decline.
Now, my question is, given these disparities, shouldn't racism be declared a public health emergency in Great Britain?
And if not, why not?
Mr. Kersey? Well, we talked a couple weeks ago about how poor white students were being left
behind. This idea of white privilege, I don't remember the exact study. I think it was about
how they perform. It was unwritten also. It was unwritten, yeah. It was about how white
students do worse than anybody else. Yep, exactly. Poor white students do worse and
that they are being unfairly left behind and they're being maligned as having this white
privilege, which according to this study, what I'd like to know is compare these numbers to say
if these numbers exist for 2011, 2000.
And you can see, as a people are being dispossessed by their own government's immigration policies, do they realize that their future is bleaker and bleaker and bleaker?
So as you said, I remember, I think it might have been 2011, there was a Newsweek cover story.
It had the line, Beached White Males, and it was about white males who are being left behind in the economy.
And I can only say the same thing in England.
It's probably transpiring as you have more and more jobs that are allocated for diverse purposes.
In fact, we're going to talk about a city where something like this is actually happening in Dallas in a little bit.
Or it's certainly being proposed.
It's being proposed!
Left behind, left behind.
Well now, also now here is, this leads us to an interesting question about a so-called hate crime report.
Now, one that I think would be worth reading in full.
All we have so far is press accounts of this.
But I thought it was quite fascinating.
Here is a report that finds that the facts are apparently in opposition to repeated assertions.
Yeah, again, it's very difficult to get, to actually see this yet because the report is not out there.
I saw this on Time Magazine and it was released, I believe it was released last, it was released yesterday actually.
It's a comprehensive national review of hate crime laws that shows where laws variate.
It also cited widespread flaws in data collection and reporting, though the majority of hate crimes in the U.S.
are committed by white people, which is the totality.
Motivated by racial or ethnic bias, the crimes disproportionately reported Black Americans as the attackers.
You know, this is something that I figured out many years ago.
That, in fact, because there are, what, six times, five times, six times as many whites as blacks, it is true that white people commit a larger number of them, but proportionally speaking, my calculations always were that blacks were two to three times more likely than whites.
To be picked up for these crimes despite the fact that I'm sure that the scrutiny of whites for potential hate crimes is vastly more intense than anybody else.
Well, not only the scrutiny, but then when you have the hate crime hoax, which of course is a separate study for another day.
Yes.
I think they should be treated as hate crimes, but anyway.
Exactly.
Please continue.
I'll continue, yeah.
In at least 13 states, black Americans were listed by law enforcement as the perpetrators in hate crimes at a rate roughly 1.6 to 3.6 times greater than the size of the state's black population.
Okay, that's...
This is a report that's going to be buried.
A few people will see it.
It's going to take a FOIA request to actually get access to this report.
Quote, these repeated disparities show that despite the fact that people of color are far more likely to be the victims of hate violence, the instances of hate violence that are actually documented by police are disproportionately those alleged to have been committed by black people.
Oh, that's again, once again, they hope to they had their conclusion already created before they did this.
So then in that paragraph, think about the mental gymnastics went on there.
You know, despite the fact that people of color are far more likely to be victims of hate violence.
Well, is that the case?
But well, but who's committing it?
That's exactly exactly the world.
We don't want to talk about that.
So yeah, again, there's not much else to say.
I encourage anyone to find this story in time.
Hopefully, maybe one of our listeners out there, maybe you guys can search the internet and actually find this report.
What's the organization that compiled this report?
I believe their name is indicated in the press reports.
Yeah, it's the Movement Advancement Project, which authored the report in partnership with over 15 national civil rights groups.
Again, this is a report that it was authored, it was created, and it's one that I'm sure they'd like to find a really big shredder and some sort of digital eraser to get rid of it.
But somehow it's come to life.
Well, let's move to the nation's capital where there are always noteworthy adventures.
This has to do with a fellow by the name of Mark Twain Hargraves.
Mark Twain.
Mark Twain, age 22, was taken into custody by DC police Last week he was arrested in the death of six-year-old Nya Courtney, a six-year-old girl, good grief, shot and killed in Southeast D.C.
on July 16th.
When officers arrived at the scene they found six gunshot victims, five adults taken to hospital, but Nya, poor six-year-old Nya, was the only one pronounced dead.
Police officers didn't even wait for an ambulance.
They rushed her in a police cruiser Going to the hospital knowing that she was in danger of dying.
I think it'd be interesting to know what the race of the officers were who did that.
They didn't have to do that.
Ordinarily, they wait for an ambulance.
Do you know what time this transpired?
This was, I believe, about 10 o'clock at night, but I'm not sure.
The initial reports that I read said that it happened at 11.30.
What is a six-year-old doing out at 11.30 p.m.?
Well, as it turns out, she was with Ma and Pa.
Now, it says that in this area, 16 people were recently indicted for drug-related crimes, and Naya's father was part of that group.
And during the drive-by shooting, Naya's father was on the block, and he was shot.
Naya's mother was also in attendance, and she suffered serious injuries during the shooting.
So as you see, the DC family that plays together at night gets shot together at night.
Are you gonna drop the kicker for us?
Where it took place?
Oh, I will.
Don't worry.
Furthermore, a vehicle of interest was recovered by the police, and the car was on fire when the police recovered it, but no motive has yet been identified in the shooting.
And yes, where did this take place?
It took place in the corner of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Boulevard.
Now, don't giggle!
Don't giggle!
I'm not giggling!
I'm guffawing!
Now, I bet if it had been called George Washington-Thomas Jefferson, there would be ten times as many killings, you know.
Oh, obviously.
Because this gives them self-esteem, and they're less likely to shoot each other.
Now, a liquor store called Mart Liquor is on this very self-same corner of Malcolm X and MLK.
And DC police crime data show there have been 25 homicides within a three-quarter mile radius of Mart Liquor over the last two years.
25 homicides.
Now, I have an informal estimate that the shooting-to-murder rate is about 8 to 10.
So this means there are probably 250 non-lethal shootings in the two years to lead to 225 homicides.
Yes, just in a three-quarter mile radius of this liquor store on this iconic street corner.
Now, what does Salim Adolfo, Chairperson for Advisory Neighborhood Commission 8C, say about this?
He says, Areas that are suffering from low economic development are at risk of violence when they are also coupled with saturated high alcohol density institutions.
High alcohol density institutions.
So a bar or a liquor store?
I guess both.
Either one.
Either one.
Yeah.
So it's nice to know that we've got a solution.
Prohibition.
Prohibition will solve the problem.
Except that, let us not forget that there are other problems that seem to plague these neighborhoods.
It's not just high alcohol density institutions.
Recall, there are food deserts.
Food deserts have been discovered in these places.
And just the other day, you know, we were talking about drugstores being shut down because of shoplifting.
Correct.
So we have drugstore deserts.
We have drugstore deserts.
What about the other one?
Well, heat islands.
Yes, thank you.
Because, yes, these neighborhoods get hotter than the surrounding neighborhood.
They get hot, hot times to be had.
And, as we know, summer weather affects certain areas more than others.
But, as you can see, they're putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
They're getting to the roots of the problem, Mr. Kersey.
All of these elements.
Now, I wonder if any other patterns will emerge.
I could think of a few.
Wow.
Well, you do know that the Biden administration, the DOJ came out and they blamed the increasing shootings in quote-unquote inner cities on white supremacy.
Of course.
All these people are agents, unwitting agents of white supremacy.
There you go.
Now, Lori Lightfoot would probably agree.
In May, as you'll recall, she said that one-on-one interviews that marked the second anniversary of her inauguration would not be offered to white journalists.
And at that time, she said this would promote diversity and inclusion to combat the overwhelming whiteness and masculinity of Chicago media.
Overwhelming.
As a person of color throughout my adult life, I've done everything I could to fight for diversity and inclusion in every institution of which I've been a part.
And being mayor makes me particularly well positioned to shine the spotlight, said she.
Well, just last week, she said that she would absolutely, again, give interviews only to journalists of color.
She doesn't mind that she was criticized last May.
This was in a segment of New York Times Sway podcast, released just on Monday.
Now, I've never heard of the Sway podcast.
Have you?
I haven't.
Well, I guess Lori Lightfoot was a treasured and honored guest.
She said, I would absolutely do it again.
I make no apologies because it sparked a very important conversation.
A conversation that had to take place.
She says the media is, she doesn't know that the media are plural, but she's like many others in that respect, the media is in a time of incredible upheaval and disruption, but our press corps at town hall looks like 1950 or 1970.
Now, Mr. Kersey, If only Chicago had the population it had in 1950.
Or even 1970!
In 1970, I want to say it was still heavily.
I don't think it dropped until the 80s.
No, you could fire most of the police force.
You wouldn't have this problem of heat islands.
People would be smoking inside during these press conferences.
Well, that's a different matter.
That'd be a public health emergency.
But yes, if Chicago only had the population of 1950 or 1970, things would be a whole lot better.
Now, this is an interesting story about Oklahoma.
Were you aware of this?
Last July, the Supreme Court decision of McGirt v. Oklahoma was handed down and was celebrated all around the country
by Native American groups who saw it as a historic affirmation of treaties signed with the U.S.
government back in the 1800s. And it found that a large part of eastern Oklahoma is still Indian
country. That's right.
But in this past election, there was this weird break, if you remember, between the Oklahoma,
So there were two states voting in the Electoral College.
It was Indian country.
The ruling came after lawyers for a convicted child molester, Jim C. McGirt, argued that the state didn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him.
Excuse me.
Because he was a Native American on tribal land.
Oh, of course.
That's right.
Exonerated.
Despite a century of state and local prosecutions, in this decision the Supreme Court ruled that the crimes were the province of federal and tribal authorities.
The state has no look-in.
So in the year since then, the ruling has upended the criminal justice system, imperiled convictions in thousands of cases.
Thousands?
Thousands.
Yes.
Now this new Indian country, it includes 19 million acres.
In eastern Oklahoma, it includes parts of the state's second largest city, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
That's part of Indian country now.
And the Oklahoma Department of Corrections says that courts have already dismissed or vacated convictions in 109 cases.
Includes people who have been convicted of child abuse, robbery, manslaughter, second-degree murder, shooting with intent to kill, lewd acts with children, burglary, And thousands and thousands more are expected to contest their sentences.
I mean, they're going to say, I was convicted by an authority that had no jurisdiction.
It'd be like saying I was convicted in a Chinese court.
The effect is no.
So federal and tribal prosecutors will have to retry some cases for which key witnesses have died, memories have faded, evidence has been lost, and tribal courts, as it turns out, can sentence.
I didn't realize there were tribal courts.
They can sentence up to a maximum of three years per count and can order these sentences to be served concurrently for up to nine years.
You know, you always have people talking about the threat of Sharia law brought about by immigration, and then you have this dis-population.
Tribal law trumps the American jurisdiction.
That's right.
Cherokee law.
That's what it boils down to.
Now here, on another interesting aspect of the ruling, That is, the EMT, emergency response people, they say that this McGirt ruling means that if you are showing up at an accident scene, you have to require 911 callers, you have to ask them if they're members of a federally recognized tribe.
If they are, then you have to transfer the callers to the Muskogee Creek Nation.
Oh, they've got their own call center.
They've got their own call center, but they're not very well equipped.
And I'm quoting a guy who is in a dispatcher.
Smoke signals?
No, is that?
Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't say that.
No, you didn't say that.
According to this dispatcher, quote, they're sometimes met with a hold tone and music because the call volume is so high.
So yes, they have to be picked up by tribal, by tribal EMTs.
Police also responding to a scene have seen tribal license plates on cars, and then they have to figure out who they can arrest and who they can't.
That's right.
Boy, I would say, me Indian, you know?
And then what's the guy to do?
He's going to write you.
Was that your impression of an Amerindian?
That was a war cry.
That was a war cry.
It's a good war cry.
And this spring, however, Oklahoma filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court saying, hold on boys, we're in trouble.
And the Supreme Court may reconsider a ruling.
Well, let's hope so.
Now, in another part of the country, as I understand it, Mr. Kersey, COVID is sneaking through the filters and across the border and into our cities.
Is this where we want to talk about?
Landon, real quick, or is this where we want to talk about the DHS in La Jolla, Texas?
DHS, all these COVID things.
So this is a very important story.
Again, we talked about issues that Republicans, that smart People running for office should be jumping on, here's one for you.
So if you're listening out there, a La Jolla, Texas police officer was waved into the local Whataburger this week by an individual who's concerned about a group of individuals there who appear to be ill.
The officer discovered a family of illegal immigrants who claim they had been apprehended several days before by the Border Patrol and had tested positive for COVID-19.
This suggests there are serious flaws in the DHS's quarantine policy.
Now we know that, what?
I can't remember the amount of people that tried to cross the border over the past six months.
It's well over a million, correct?
Oh, it's an unprecedentedly large number.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS Secretary, released a statement in the situation on the southwest border.
He asserted that the Biden administration would continue to expel migrants, including migrant families, under Trump-era Orders issued by the CDC under Title 42 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He admitted that the department could only expel family migrants if the Mexican government agreed to take them back, which is becoming a rarity.
No, senor.
Donald Trump has that figured out.
No, senor.
No, gringo.
Of the more than 50,000 migrant units that were apprehended by Border Patrol at the southwest
border at the southwest border in June, fewer than 8,100 were expelled under Title 42.
So it looks like plenty of them are here amongst us carrying dread disease.
They're not.
Again, there's no quarantining going on.
You've got a situation where the police chiefs, the police sergeants, they're not capable of even arresting anyone because they've been they've been booked in rooms by Catholic charities to house migrants.
And you've got a situation where then when You know, when they're released, they get a court date.
They never show up, as we've talked about.
This is such a joke, and it's not a funny joke.
Yeah, and the hotel that this Catholic charity is putting them up in, the Rio Grande Valley, it denies that they have any problems with COVID-19, although officers observed 20 to 30 people outside not wearing masks.
The article suggests the DHS's quarantine regime poses a danger to those living in towns along the southwest border because it appears to be no quarantine at Oh, you know, obviously, no one's going to try and do this.
But, you know, you keep hearing stories that the Biden administration is flying these families all across the country.
You have to wonder if there's been any spikes in these cities.
Obviously, you know, my views on COVID, they're different than most people's.
But, again, you have a situation where, you know, Canada and America, that border's closed, Mr. Taylor.
Our southwest border, as you just mentioned, since Biden became in office, we saw that surge.
People wearing Biden shirts were seen marching to the United States.
That's right.
And now you've got this unprecedented situation where the country could be locked down again.
You've got mask mandates everywhere.
Wide open southern border.
And you could be the first on your block to have a COVID-infected illegal immigrant neighbor.
We're all vying for that honor.
Well, here's better news.
Better news.
Former at-large D.C.
Council candidate Addison Sartor, he's expected to bring forth a ballot initiative in D.C.
that would create African-American autonomous areas within the city itself.
I'm all for it.
autonomous areas, I like that, A-A-A-As, with their own mayors and their own city council
members. This would be in all the historically black areas of the city. He said these African
American autonomous areas would be turned into their own cities with their own mayor and their
own city council operating separately and free from the control by the present D.C. government.
I'm all for it. Autonomy for the African Americans. To deny African Americans autonomous regions in
would be denying us our basic human rights, says he.
He goes on to say that interest groups and those making the laws in these majority black areas do not live in the area.
However, and I find this deeply significant, he says, and I believe, white people should also have the right to control the institutions in their community.
Say that one more time.
He says, I believe white people should also have the right to control the institutions in their community.
Now we're getting somewhere.
What an idea, what an idea.
He also says, I believe Latinos and Asians should also have the right to control the institutions in their community as well.
Good man, good man, this Addison Sarter.
You know, I think I'll maybe try to get in touch with him.
I think you should.
It would be a wonderful conversation to have.
Yes, yes.
Maybe have a, I don't know, on-camera interview with him?
No, I will, as the modern terminology is, I will reach out to him.
You don't phone call, you don't phone up people.
You reach out, I'll reach out.
So I think this is a great start.
And I would love to see what a ballot initiative on this subject would show, what the results would be.
Wouldn't it be interesting if a ballot initiative like that passed?
We'd do our best to help it along.
And then we leap clear across the country to Oakland, where former Senator Barbara Boxer was assaulted and robbed.
She was?
Yes, near Jack London Square.
This is near her home.
About 1.15 p.m.
Monday afternoon, just this week, the 80-year-old boxer said she was shaken up but otherwise unhurt.
There were two assailants.
They appeared, she said, to be younger than 18.
One was a driver, and one leapt out of the car, gave her a swift push, relieved her of her cell phone.
Apparently, this is an approximately $1,000 cell phone, so it must be pretty, must be bejeweled or solid gold or something.
In any case, a police source says the teens were involved in several other burglaries and attacks in recent days.
They're still looking for them.
They did not release a suspect description.
Interesting.
I don't know why they would do that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I guess it's just so banal.
Interesting where that happened, though.
Call of the Wild, right?
Excuse me?
Call of the Wild there, right?
Call of the Wild, that's true.
Now, Jack London, Jack London Square, you know, he was an avowed white supremacist.
He was?
He was a socialist, and he thought socialism was a great thing, but only for white people.
Let the non-whites stew in their inferior social organizations.
So, I'm quite positive, since this happened right near Jack London Square, These people who I assume, now this is a real leap of faith and a stretch of the imagination, I assume that they were African-Americans, but I could be wrong.
You could be wrong, maybe they just read White Fang and they wanted to go and who knows?
But no, the fact is, Jack London Square, they're probably well informed of just what a terrible white supremacist he is, and if it had been named Nelson Mandela Square, they would never have done a thing like that.
I don't think so.
That's my guess.
That's my guess, yes.
Now, Moving on, moving on.
Now here's somebody who will solve the problem.
Solve the problem all over the country if she had a chance.
Joe Biden's nominee for U.S.
Attorney, the federal attorney from Massachusetts, is a member of this new wave of so-called progressive prosecutors who push criminal justice reform.
Critics are calling her the Grand Dame of the rogue prosecutor movement.
The Grand Dame.
What city was this again?
It's not a city.
It's the state of Massachusetts.
Oh, the whole state.
Oh my goodness.
Each state has its U.S.
Attorney.
Last year, Rachel Rollins joined two other, and here's a key phrase, Soros-backed DAs.
So she's very much one of George Soros' fair-haired lassies.
Although fair-haired I use here in a figurative, strictly figurative sense because she's half Barbadian, but be that as it may.
These three George Soros-backed DAs formed the Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission.
Reconciliation.
That means white people confessing their sins, modeled after the South African tribunals.
And this commission calls the U.S.
justice system a cruel and oppressive force of injustice for minorities.
There you go.
She's got it figured out.
It also says police reform must begin with defunding police and investing in communities and the project is also called for the closure of youth and adult prisons and jails.
Won't need them anymore.
No.
Won't need them.
As well as an end to the arrest and handcuffing of juveniles.
You're not going to arrest juveniles.
So those people who attack Barbara Boxer, they're free to attack any white woman they want.
That's right.
Anybody they like.
They won't be handcuffed.
They won't be arrested.
There won't be any youth or adult prisons or jails.
They can just be turned loose and run wild.
She also backs a moratorium on the prosecution of some 15 crimes, including drug distribution, shoplifting, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, breaking and entering, and making threats, breaking and entering. Not going to
arrest that. I mean your house could be burgled, your house could be burgled, shoplifting,
resisting arrest, disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct covers a whole lot of things. And this is just to
protect people of color.
I'm sure, I'm sure.
Because all of these crimes, considering them crimes, is just the purest sort of wickedness.
Now, I believe Fulton County is trying something similar.
Actually, they're doing something completely different.
This is a very good story.
Yes, it's the other side of the coin.
Because it shows how bad things are really getting, and it shows that, hey, there's some pressure from the white business owners.
Asking for help.
Fulton County DA says there's a massive backlog of court cases
will focus on violent crime.
So violent crime is spiking.
Fulton County is where Atlanta is, Atlanta, Georgia.
The county's district attorney is asking for help inside and outside of the courtroom.
DA Fannie Willis is focusing on violent crime.
And the primary reason she can't focus on it is because there's a massive backlog of court cases
that need to be prosecuted as courtrooms reopen.
She told the Fulton County Commissioners during a board meeting that after extensions were issued
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, her office is unable to investigate and indict certain cases
by a September 13 deadline for up to 1,433 defendants charged with violent crimes who could
be released. These are all violent crimes.
Violent crimes.
And on the theory that justice delayed is justice denied, they have to be processed and indicted by September 15th?
That's September 13th, 2021.
That's, you know, that's not a lot of time when you consider that the courts aren't open on Saturday, Sunday.
It's a situation that they're trying to get the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to step in because in her letter she claims that 70 to 90% of the violent crime is gang-related.
Georgia has actually a really cool gang law on the books that they could use.
In the prior years it's actually been attacked because it would disproportionately target... Oh, Danish tourists.
Black people.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Black people.
Black criminals.
So this would be used unfairly to get too many blacks in prison.
Now we've got a situation where, hey, we have to do this or else we're going to let 1,433 violent defendants, or defendants who are charged with violent crimes, back onto the streets.
Well, that will make life tough for the Barbara Boxers of the area, I would think.
They'll just have to go back into confinement.
If you can't confine the criminals, you confine the law-abiding people.
Well now, Mr. Kurz, you have another story.
This one seems almost like it's from The Onion.
But it's not from The Onion.
It's from the highly prestigious, ever so eminent Harvard Business Review.
I almost don't want to read it.
I'm going to read only bits and pieces of this.
I will tell you this.
Harvard Business Review.
It is authored by three people.
Danielle King, she's an assistant professor of industrial and organizational psychology at Rice University.
Abdi Fattah Ali, he's an assistant professor of work and organization in the Carson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
And Courtney L. McLooney as an assistant professor in the In the IRL School at Cornell University.
And Courtney Bryant.
That's the Industrial and Labor Relations.
That's right.
She studies marginalized employees, leaders, entrepreneurs, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And also, there's a doctoral candidate at Michigan State who is working with Diversity and Inclusion Associateship at Ford Motor Company.
Her name is Courtney Bryant.
Here is the piece, and I will read you the title.
This is in the Harvard Business Review, ladies and gentlemen.
Give Black Employees Time to Rest and Recover.
That's the title?
Yes.
Summary.
Black employees have been navigating both the disproportionate effects of COVID-19 and systemic racism over the past year.
Prioritizing recovery and resilience, both from an organizational and personal perspective, is vital.
To do this, focus on four key areas.
This is addressed to business owners, managers, executives.
Here are the four areas.
Getting rest, learning to say no, making space for collective healing and care, and positively affirming black identity.
That's the summary.
I'll just read one or two paragraphs.
Hit the highlights.
Here we go.
Black employees are exhausted.
We know this, of course, because the Olympian who just pulled out.
Simone Biles.
She was exhausted.
She's a hero for admitting it.
Over the past year, their cognitive, emotional, and physical resources have been disproportionately depleted due to two deadly and intertwined pandemics, COVID-19 and structural racism, one of which they think is actually deadlier.
Black people are more likely to lose their jobs and be hospitalized or die from COVID-19 while still facing disproportionate threats of brutalization and death from policing compared to white people.
That's the opening paragraph of this piece.
Okay, so your employees are so exhausted by being black that they need a rest.
Shouldn't we just give him a year off or something?
I think so.
Additional factors exacerbate these experiences.
First, assaults against Black people were major news stories in 2020, broadcasted regularly across all types of media.
This is what's known as a racial mega-threat.
A negative large-scale race-related event that receives significant media attention which heightens racial trauma.
Research shows that this type of ongoing experience creates psychological Racial battle fatigue, a natural depletion response to commonplace, consistent experiences of heightened distress due to racism.
Boy, I think they get two years off.
I think even more.
Against this backdrop, recovery is more critical than ever.
Defined as a restoration process that returns stress-induced strain and resources to pre-stressor levels, recovery can involve relaxation, psychological detachment from stressors, hobbies, and having control over one's time.
Of course, we've learned many times that time is racist, that the cause of the time is racist.
I think that was from Professor Cronk.
No, showing up on time is racist.
Okay.
The act of restoring one's physical and psychological resources has been shown to positively affect employee well-being and work engagement.
I'll just leave it with this.
They say that companies can and should look inward to directly address the cumulative depleting effects of systemic racism on black employees.
There is no vaccination against systemic racism.
Pfizer hasn't made one, Moderna, no.
Anti-racism efforts are incomplete And may exacerbate racial trauma and fatigue if recovery is absent.
We also recognize that for so many black employees, recovery can't wait.
Although it may not be possible to fully heal from an ongoing trauma, both managers and employees can start creating space for recovery and resilience today.
Below is a tailored resource guide that offers a place to start.
It starts with rest, Say no.
We acknowledge that many people feel empowered to speak out their experiences about racism.
So they say that black employees can start to say no by reminding solicitors of the boundaries of their job description and requesting time off.
Employers can ensure that black employees are adequately compensated for any in-role or extra-role work performed.
Oh, and adequately compensated for being black.
Yes, make space for collective healing and care.
And then finally, the most important one, I believe in their eyes, because all four of the authors of this piece that appeared, and again, this was not The Onion.
This was Harvard Business Review.
Positively affirm Black identity.
Finding comfort and esteem in Black identity and experiences can replenish the political Depleted psychological resources.
Anti-black racism casts elements of black culture, including music, vernacular, and hair, as devalued.
So the most important thing for employers...
Black identity must not be stigmatized in any way.
I think we get the message.
And I must tell you, Mr. Kersey, that not one of our employees' black identity is stigmatized.
They get plenty of rest, I guess.
They get plenty of rest, yes.
And they have room to heal, and oh boy, we know that they're traumatized.
So every one of our employees gets special attention.
Even in a mega...
A mega race threat situation?
Oh, especially so.
Now, here's a different problem.
Your white employees don't get anything like the benefit of that sort because, this is an interesting example, in Cary, North Carolina, There were stickers found on cars parked outside an on-the-border restaurant.
That's a Mexican restaurant.
And inside a bathroom of the Totopos Street food market.
And guess what the stickers said?
They said, I heart being white.
I love being white.
I love New York.
I love being white.
Well, what do you think happened next?
FBI.
CIA.
N.S.A.
Nuclear weapons!
John Michael Kantz, age 60, badly melatonin deprived, was charged with two counts of ethnic intimidation for putting on stickers that said, I love being white.
His bond was set at $500, but police say he remains in custody.
Now, couldn't he meet $500?
Or is there something else at work here?
I guess he's a dangerous criminal.
In any case, he has been safely taken off the street.
North Carolina does not have a law against hate crimes.
Did you know that?
It's one of the few states that does not.
But you can add ethnic intimidation to a charge, and this is the sole charge of it.
It's not littering.
It's not graffiti.
This is pure ethnic intimidation.
It's a misdemeanor to, and this is the way it's defined, assault another person or damage or deface the property of another person or threaten to do any act Because of someone's race, color, religion, nationality, blah blah blah blah blah.
So there you go.
Local media people are complaining that the state needs a hate crime law to deal with this.
Intimidation is just not enough.
Now, Mr. Curzi, there's another crisis.
Photo collections are racist.
Photo collections?
Yes.
What way?
I don't believe it.
Well, you were telling me.
This is your story.
This is my story?
Yes.
All these science, if you're looking for a photograph of a scientist, and you're looking for a-
Oh, you know, it's funny.
It's Harvard Business Review to nature.
These prestigious journals, these tremendous, tremendous publications definitely no longer
can be classified as such.
Here's what we get.
It's an editorial.
The lack of people of color in science images must be fixed.
Archives, libraries, photo agencies, and publishers need to do better to reflect science's true past and present.
Last month, Nature published a comment article on how researchers and communities helped each other during a water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
While sourcing pictures for the article, Nature's photo editor discovered that there are few images available of the people involved, many of whom who are Black.
We also need an image of physicist Elmore Imes, who in 1918 became only the second African American to be awarded a PhD in physics.
His doctoral work provided early evidence of the quantum behavior of molecules.
But university archives don't have a copy of this photograph.
You just can't find pictures?
Commercial photo agencies also had nothing.
Low-resolution grainy images do exist, but shockingly, even in the U.S.
Library of Congress, Which holds images of many important scientists from the nation's history.
They don't have a photo of Elmer Imes.
That's what Photoshop's for.
You can just cook one up out of nothing.
Make it look great.
Nature says this is far from an isolated case.
It illustrates articles reporting on communities and countries that are underrepresented in science using generic images, in part because universities, natural libraries, and commercial photo agencies hold relatively few images of people from such communities.
Well, another crisis has been revealed.
What are we going to do about it?
I don't know.
And they finish with this.
At Nature, we use them all the time and credit them next to the images, but more often than not, our searches for photos of a particular black scientist and scientists of other marginalized ethnicities yield negative results, and we're compelled to fall back on generic images of people modeling a generic scene instead of photos of the scientists themselves.
Photography is racist.
Photographs are racist.
Cameras are racist.
Cameras just begin to break when you point them at a black person, I suppose.
Here's the final line, and it's got somewhat of a Stalin-esque, uh, The Commissar Vanishes sent to it.
Universities, libraries, publishers, photo agencies, these organizations hold the keys to so much of the world's photography, must all take steps to diversify our imagery.
Science's historical record will remain incomplete while it is missing pictures of people who contributed to discovery and invention.
Such efforts are also essential to make research more welcoming for people from underrepresented communities, and to ensure that future generations of researchers reflect those that science has often failed, To attract in the past.
This sounds like a mega race threat.
Well, I think we have time for just one.
You had mentioned this.
We'd promoted this story, so we better talk about it.
Now, the local Black Lives Matter group in Dallas has launched a new campaign.
It's a letter-writing campaign addressed to white parents in Highland Park.
That's a wealthy part of town.
We are writing to you because we understand you're white and live within the Highland Park Independent School District and thus benefit from the enormous privileges taken at the expense of communities of color.
You live in the whitest, wealthiest neighborhood in Dallas.
Whether you know it or not, you earned or inherited your money through oppressing people of color.
And then they go on to say, it's our understanding you're a Democrat and a supporter of Black Lives Matter.
So, we are asking you to pledge that your children will not apply or attend any Ivy League school or U.S.
News and World Report Top 50 school.
If you do not have children under 18, then we ask you to pledge to hold your white privileged friends, families, and neighbors with children to this standard.
Because having your children attend these schools takes away spaces from students of color who really need the job opportunities, education, and influence that these schools provide.
There you go.
So, golly, it's a letter to everybody living in this area.
You know, this is just a great idea.
There's no end of things.
No, no, no, no.
I think a white tithe would be good.
A white privileged tithe.
Get that equity!
There's an important line in there.
I know we've got to finish, but it's talking about this unearned privilege that they sit upon, that they've built, this generational wealth.
Is the equity in your home that they want?
A percentage of it?
Well, you know, I think just 10% of your gross income to BLM, that'd be good.
Or, if you really want to be an ally, write a will, give everything to BLM, and pull the trigger.
That would do it.
Right.
No delay.
No delay.
Benefits now.
So yes, they're getting very creative.
And I think we'll be seeing more of this as people decide that they're going to do DIY reparations.
I think so.
But, Mr. Kersey, our time has come.
It always does, and it comes so quickly.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, it is our privilege and it's our pleasure to be with you every week.
It has been especially a pleasure and a privilege today, and we look forward to seeing you on behalf of Paul Kersey and myself.
