Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable, irreplaceable co-host, Mr. Kersey.
And it is November 24th, Anno Domini 2021.
We have had quite a lot of interesting activity in the court system lately.
The Rittenhouse verdict.
Much to my satisfaction, Kyle Rittenhouse was found innocent on all counts.
But black people are outraged.
And this is quite interesting because they're acting as if the people that he shot were black.
In fact, Nicole Hannah-Jones, who put together the 1619 Project of the New York Times, the notorious 1619 Project that puts slavery at the center of American history.
It all revolves around slavery, after all.
She tweeted, In this country, you can even kill white people and get away with it, if those white people are fighting for black lives.
So, I suppose she assumes everyone in the jury was just sitting there thinking, okay, this guy shot white people, but since they were protesting in the name of black dignity and black lives, you can just gun them down in the street like vermin.
Don't you think all the jurors are probably sitting there thinking that?
I suspect nobody in America even thinks that way.
That you can kill them, you can kill white people, so long as they're protesting in the name of black people.
But Hannah Nicole Jones, she's a Pulitzer Prize winner and she's a college professor.
So I guess she has us white people figured out.
She's more intellectual than any white intellectual there is right now in America, Mr. Taylor.
And I think we'd be remiss if we didn't point out that this, the whole Rittenhouse affair is one that is, it's really important because this was the one that was a, You go back to all the events that happened in 2020.
So many cities were burning.
So many cities had such anarchy that you talked about the year America went crazy.
And yet, for most of the part, except maybe in Portland, some outliers, some anomalies, the Rittenhouse Affair ended this violence.
Yes, it came sort of at the tail end of it.
It did, but it was a resounding moment where, wow, you know, here's this 17-year-old kid, and really it was a moment where the state had abdicated its role, starting with, what, the burning of the 3rd Precinct in Minneapolis?
The state is supposed to have the monopoly on violence, am I correct?
You are correct.
And they withdrew and let the mob burn the place to the ground.
infuriates me seeing things like that.
And then every city we went to, we saw, I mean, you wrote about when you went to Richmond,
you talked to some police officers, they said, you could burn down every car in the city.
You could do whatever you want, and we wouldn't stop you.
We were given- We were ordered to stand down.
Yes.
Protect lives, but to hell with property.
Yes, and that's the reality of what happened nationwide, and that's why-
Yes.
What Rittenhouse did was so important.
And you know it was the third day of rioting.
He sat through two days watching a town of which he has very deep connections burn.
And he saw the burning of CarSource, a second-hand car dealer that he's driven by many times, very familiar with it.
Did you ever see photographs of it afterwards?
Must be a hundred cars all burned to a crisp right there on the lot.
He says, this is intolerable.
I feel the same way.
What would you say to someone, Mr. Taylor, who said a 17-year-old has no purpose going into a situation like that, brandishing a semi-automatic weapon?
If a 17-year-old's got no right, nobody's got the right.
He legally carried that weapon.
And the fault, if there is a fault, other than these vile rioters and looters and arsonists, it's the police for letting it happen.
For letting something so outrageous continue unchecked that ordinary people feel like they've got to stand up to take a part in it.
Not an ordinary person.
A 17-year-old person who's out there trying to give CPR and medical help and first aid to everybody.
It wasn't exclusively toward people guarding buildings.
No, no.
He didn't care.
He didn't care who was injured.
He was out there.
He helped several people.
But the idea that he was just out there gunning people down.
Now here's Eli Mistel.
I don't know how you pronounce his name.
E-L-I-E-M-Y-S-T-A-L.
He's a graduate of Harvard and a graduate of Harvard Law School, and he is the justice correspondent for the nation.
After the acquittal, he wrote, this system, the justice system, is designed to free people like Rittenhouse, white vigilantes who kill to maintain the best interests of whiteness.
Now, How on earth was his self-defense maintaining the best interest of whiteness?
This is cuckoo stuff.
And he goes on to say this.
There is no justice and there is no peace.
And if you complain about that, white people will show up and shoot you.
Just like a majority of white people want them to.
This guy's black, of course.
But let's read that again.
There's no justice, no peace.
And if you complain about that, white people will show up to shoot you just like a majority of white people want them to.
This is insane.
These people are unhinged.
And it's once again proof of the fact that people who have the most benefit, the blacks with the most benefits in American society, hate us the most.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, loved and petted and slobbered over.
He's a genius, of course.
Ibram Kendi just got $10 million dropped on him to do with whatever he likes.
I actually, we talked a few weeks ago about his book.
I just picked it up.
Oh, did you?
And it's one of those books you read and you're like, wow, everything he's railing against It makes our history sound really great, actually.
I don't suppose this was Anti-Racist Baby that you read?
It wasn't Anti-Racist Baby.
It's his magnum opus, the one that the Washington Post lauded as the most important book.
I'll give you the title here in a second.
But I truly want somebody, I don't have time, but someone has to review this book because basically the review would be, Mr. Taylor, Our ancestors knew better than us.
They certainly did.
We've degenerated in all sorts of miserable ways.
All he had to do, of course, was crib from stuff that we've written, though, about what the founders thought about race.
And now here, let's see, black congressman Cori Bush.
I mean, she's got white people pegged, too.
She says, the judge, the jury, the defendant, it's white supremacy in action.
Yeah, go out and shoot white people and get off.
That's white supremacy in action.
This stuff is nuts.
And did you know a very feeble Jesse Jackson was demonstrating against the verdict in New York City?
I was surprised.
Saw some video of this.
He's being held up on both sides by people.
He must be really getting weak.
But they were chanting, they were chanting things like, if we don't get it, burn it down.
And the other one, this is good, the only solution is Communist Revolution.
I heard that one in New York, I believe.
That was in New York, and Jesse Jackson was there.
Now, you know, I wonder, when Jesse Jackson ascends to Wakanda, where he deserves to go, do you think he will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda like Rosa Parks?
You know, that's a great question.
I do know that the book in question that we were talking about... Kendi's book.
Stamped from the beginning, the definitive history of racist ideas in America.
And I gotta be honest, I highly recommend it.
You should give it to people because you're gonna blush.
You're gonna gleam knowing that, hey, they knew better.
Of course.
That's why these laws were enacted.
Why were sundown laws enacted?
Shut your mouth!
Going back to Cori Bush, she's the congresswoman from the St.
Louis area.
She also tweeted out something about how during the Ferguson situation there were people sniping, white nationalists, white supremacists, sniping from the bushes.
And again, you can say this with a straight face.
And not people are like, hey, where's the evidence?
What are you talking about?
You never ask people, black people, where's the evidence?
Come on!
Evidence just doesn't apply.
That's one of those white supremacist logical concepts they're trying to get rid of.
That's like getting the right answer in math.
Come on.
Come on, you know that.
Two plus two is five, right?
That's right, that's right.
But you know what I'm thinking is, when have black people, these activist white-hating black people, ever cared so much about dead white people?
These three guys, or these two guys that got shot dead, and this other guy that had his biceps blown up, they care so much about them.
This is a new experience for these black people, running around all morning the death of a white man, or two white men.
I'm very impressed.
Gosh, they really are more racially broad-minded than I thought.
That's all it boils down to.
Now, you had an opinion piece you wanted to quote, or is it pretty much the same idea?
You know, it's pretty much the same idea.
This one is.
There were so many of these.
Oh, yeah.
I encountered on Yahoo News by an individual by the name of Stephanie Willis.
She's an attorney and policy strategist focusing on reforming the criminal legal system.
She's provided legal analysts for Fox News.
She's got a Rio podcast.
Here's what she said.
Here's what really matters.
Quote, this was the opinion piece title.
The Rittenhouse privilege has set a precedent that permits individuals to claim self-defense in the most outrageous of cases.
And she wrote this.
Rittenhouse being found not guilty on all counts after more than 24 hours of deliberations can be summed up with one simple phrase.
White privilege?
White privilege!
Yes, you got it.
That accounts for everything in America.
She then would go on to pontificate this, quote, it's an all too familiar theme we witness when white defendants are on trial for killing us.
Killing us?
Killing us.
Again, that's why I wanted to, that's why it's so great that you actually segway to this because the two people that the 17 year old Rittenhouse killed Unless my eyes are deceiving me, they appear to be shockingly devoid of melanin.
That's right.
Now, what is this lady's name?
What's her melanin count?
Her picture looks lightened.
Oh, gosh.
I would call her an African-American-esque.
I would definitely call her an African-American-esque, yes.
But killing us.
Killing us.
Yes, killing us.
Confused?
Maybe.
Racially confused.
I mean, again, I guess they're honorary.
I guess the two people that Rittenhouse killed and the third that he shot in the bicep, as you pointed out, they're honorary Negroes?
Are we allowed to say that?
Oh, that's very bad, you know.
Honorary Pox.
Honorary Bipox.
Honorary Bipox.
Yep.
Wipox.
Okay.
Then she'd write this.
The privilege that Rittenhouse displayed and benefited from, however, was clearly on another level.
When privilege is raised in the legal arena, it is referring to communications between certain individuals that are protected, communication between husband and wife, doctor and patient, attorney and client.
I dare say Rittenhouse was cloaked with a privilege you cannot find in any legal precedent.
The Rittenhouse privilege.
Throughout the trial, there were instances in which it was quite apparent that the scales of justice tipped in favor.
of Kyle Rittenhouse. The venom dripping off of every word, every verb, every adjective, every
noun, and this sentence is just, again, it's just, it's what it is. It's anti-white.
She then wrote about how the jury selection only had one person of color.
She talked about how the city where Kenosha, according to census data, is over 75% white.
Kenosha went for Trump in 2016 and was traditionally Democratic.
Oh, get this.
It's also particularly important to consider the fact that Wisconsin is a gun-friendly state, but we must also ask ourselves gun-friendly toward whom?
Yes, I guess 17-year-old white kids.
But she then talks about how one would have thought because the victims of this case were white, this case would be open and shut.
But the victims who were in Kenosha to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake were villainized and treated in an all too familiar manner.
But in this case, the victims were not black.
By the order of Bruce Schroeder, the victims in this case would not be referred to as victims by the prosecution throughout the trial, which Makes sense.
Makes sense.
The question is, was it a case of self-defense?
If it's a case of self-defense, it may be unfortunate they died, but they're not victims.
That's pre-judging the case.
Here's a huge line from the piece.
I don't know if you knew this.
According to reports, there's a long-standing rule Schroeder has maintained in his court.
But when Schroeder's ringtone is, God Bless the USA, Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaign song, you just can't help but wince a little.
Rittenhouse was charged with seven counts, the state of Wisconsin, and the burden of Peruvia on a reasonable doubt that he committed the seven counts, which included first-degree intentional homicide with a dangerous weapon.
However, before the jury even began deliberating, two of the seven counts, possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, and failure to comply with emergency order, were dismissed by the judge.
Well, it turns out the weapons charge could not hold up.
The law is written in such a way to permit a man or a boy, whichever the case, of 17 to walk around with a rifle.
The law is open and shut on that.
Well, okay.
Now, as I say, when have black people ever cared so much about dead white people?
Well, it goes back to what you said.
There have been two nights of just ferocious, over-the-top violence where business owners were attacked for trying to stop the hordes, the Marxist-Communist anti-white hordes, whatever you want to call them.
Whatever word, it's still not been invented yet to describe the individuals who burned so many cities, tore down monuments in 2020, and who, trust me, they're waiting for that next event to happen to burn, loot, riot, attack again.
And that was one reason why they were so furious at Carl Rittenhouse.
He was spoiling their fun.
The very first guy he shot, this Rosenbaum character, he'd been setting fire to things.
Somebody shows up with a fire extinguisher and turns it out, pulls it out, puts it out.
He's furious.
He'd set a dumpster fire.
He's pushing the dumpster towards a gasoline station.
That guy really wants burn, baby, burn.
And somebody puts it out, spoils his fun, and he's furious and threatens to kill people.
Anyway, those are the heroes in the piece, after all.
Well, it goes back to the question I asked, and again, it's extraordinary.
And is this an indictment on where we are as a society?
That it took a 17-year-old kid to go and basically do what, you know... The police are supposed to do.
The police are supposed to do.
But you think about America being, and this is where I think a lot of criticism of those who say, oh, the Second Amendment is going to save us, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You had a 17-year-old kid go out there and who was trying to do this by himself.
He thought... No, he wasn't by himself.
He wasn't by himself?
No, there may be 20 guys, at least, with AR-15s, trying to protect property.
But this was one of the first big cities.
There were a couple other cities we know of.
Of course, we know what happened with the couple in St.
Louis.
We know there have been a couple of other situations where people have brandished weapons.
Well, there were a couple of places where guys showed up.
There was a patrol on the main street of some small town.
Men with their rifles.
And they said, it ain't happening here.
And it didn't.
What was the city where Antifa murdered someone in Coldblood?
Was that Portland?
Where the guy is just walking- Just shot him right in the- Yes!
Point blank, you know, I don't remember.
I think it was one of those, maybe, yeah- It was Seattle and Portland, it was one of the two.
It was one of those west coast cities, yes.
He apparently did, well then, the police came and I think he resisted- I want to say federal authorities actually.
Yes, the federal authorities came and he died in a gun battle, or he shot himself.
In any case, he's gone.
In any case, we have another court case that did not turn out the way it should have, and that is something called Signs v. Kessler.
This was the suit against the people who had organized the rally to save the Lee statue in Charlottesville back in 2017.
The trial was really, should never have taken place.
No matter how vile the things that the people who organized it and talked about it might have said, the idea that this was a conspiracy to get together and commit violence, particularly against non-whites, that is a preposterous idea.
And this thing got off to a terrible start because many of these defendants have no money.
They didn't even respond.
And when you don't respond, you are found guilty because the charges remain unrefuted.
The judge in this case, a judge by the name of Moon, he decided that because these people had not responded, well, there had to have been a conspiracy.
So, the most difficult thing to prove from the start is that there is a conspiracy.
After that, it was just a matter of adding names.
And so people who might not have even known each other, if they were involved in organizing it, if they were on some discord and they said some, and I would admittedly, completely stupid things about beating up Antifa, most of it it's clearly couched in defensive terms, but the idea that they were there, that they had conspired to commit racist violence, that's really an outrageous thing to have concluded.
And an even more outrageous thing is the other side had raised an estimated 25 million dollars to pay lawyers.
They had no fewer than 38 lawyers who were officially appearing on behalf of the plaintiffs.
These are plaintiffs who claimed that the Unite the Right rally had either injured them physically or psychologically.
That's all it takes, psychological damage.
In any case, they actually hired experts to parse the various exchanges between the organizers of the rally and say, okay, this may sound like a joke, or this may not sound like they're plotting violence, but I have studied these right-wing white supremacist movements for years and years, and I can decode this for you.
Can you imagine that?
Hire an expert witness so-called to say, these guys said A, but what they really meant was Z.
This is just outrageous.
And of course, the defendants, some of whom were defending themselves, they have so little money.
They certainly weren't able to raise much because the crowdfunding sources were completely closed to them.
Which is what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse, as we know.
That's what happened to him initially.
He was denied any kind of funding source.
In any case, they were found guilty.
Now, there were federal charges and there were state charges.
And the federal charge, which is the one that the plaintiffs really wanted to get them on, there was a hung jury.
They could not reach a decision.
And these plaintiffs have already decided, well, they have another chance to sue, and they're going to sue all over again on the federal charges for which there was a hung jury and the state charges.
The defendants were found guilty, and the following people, Jason Kessler, he was the permit holder, Richard Spencer, Christopher Cantwell, James Fields, he's the guy who drove the car, nobody knew him, nobody had ever heard of him before, but they apparently were conspiring with him.
That's what the jury found, and that's what, in fact, the judge said they could find.
Doesn't make any difference if you don't even know this guy.
He is a conspirator, and you're in on it.
A fellow named Robert Ray, Nathan D'Amico, he was the founder of Identity Europa, Elliot Klein, Matthew Heimbach, he was with the Traditionalist Workers Party, Matthew Parrott, Michael Hill, he's the head of the League of the South, Michael Tubbs, and Jeff Shoup, I believe he is with the National Socialist Movement.
Each of them has to pay $500,000 in damages.
And then there are other defendants who have to pay other, well I'm sorry, the same defendants have to pay more damages, up to another $200,000 in other aspects of the case, and the organizations that they represented, Vanguard, America, League of the South, Identity Europa, Traditionalist Workers Party, and National Socialist Movement, the organizations have to pay a million dollars in damage.
This is just incredible.
These people, their lives are ruined.
If there is not some kind of miracle and these damage awards are not either erased or vastly reduced, these people are going to be pursued their entire lives.
They're not going to be able to get a mortgage.
They're not going to be able to have a proper job.
They're not allowed to own anything.
Because it will be attached in the name of these damage awards.
Furthermore, my suspicion is they will never rest until they get every penny out of these people.
Every penny!
You know, a really good commentator I'm reading, a guy named Scott Greer, he wrote this, Mr. Taylor, I'd like to quote him real quick.
He said, both the Arbery and We're not going to talk about the Arbery trial real quick.
Well, I guess we'll have to mention it.
We'll just have to mention it real quick because I think it's important.
There were three really big trials.
The Arbery and Rittenhouse trials seem to be the same thing in a lot of ways.
Yes, it seems to me they're the same thing.
Somebody comes and tries to grab your gun and you have to defend yourself.
Either the guy's going to take your gun and shoot you or you have to defend yourself.
Correct.
But the verdict in the Arbery trial Just come in, all three men are guilty of murder.
This is a very, very depressing result.
In its own way, just as depressing as the Signs v. Kessler when there's an imaginary conspiracy that nobody was considering, nobody had any sense of actually being involved.
And the big thing about that case, Mr. Taylor, when you're talking about this and the Kessler trial, Again, $25 million was raised against these guys who are destitute.
Yes.
Destitute, let's put it that way.
And that's more than the settlement.
Exactly.
Why didn't they just give this money to the people who claim injuries?
So the reason why we're not going to talk about the arbitrary at length, ladies and gentlemen across the globe, Both the Arbery and Rittenhouse trials send a clear message to white Americans that they can't defend themselves without grave consequences.
Yes, Kyle Rittenhouse got off, but it took millions of dollars and a hell of a lot of trouble to do so.
The McMichaels Two of the individuals who were just found guilty in the Ahmaud Arbery incident in Brunswick, Georgia, they weren't so lucky.
Largely due to Arbery being black and a greater jury intimidation.
Both set a precedent that the system favors criminals over middle white Americans.
The jury intimidation was just remarkable in that case.
They had people howling for justice for Ahmad outside the courtroom day after day after day.
They had to go by it and see that.
Also, they had Jesse Jackson in the courtroom.
They had Al Sharpton in the courtroom looking at the jurors.
One of the lawyers said, look, look, this is no good.
This is intimidation.
And they go back to mob cases.
If you had some mob hitman sitting there in the courtroom staring at the jurors while the mobster's on trial.
That's intimidation.
When you get somebody like Al Sharpton staring at people who are white jurors, that's intimidation.
Many of them clearly would have realistically had a fear for their lives if they had jumped the wrong way on this.
And there was certainly nobody out there saying, justice for the McMichaels.
What if guys in white pointy hats had been out there marching up and down saying, justice for the McMichaels?
I'm sure the judge would have said, absolutely not.
You don't dare come and do this or step into our courtroom.
But no, no, black people, that's okay.
Clear jury intimidation in my book.
In any case, back to Signs v. Kessler.
There were 25 defendants.
All were found guilty.
Several of them are so broke they were representing themselves.
And most of the plaintiff's claims for injury were very, very weak, mostly emotional injuries.
Some of them claimed to have been people who were hit by fields when he ran that car into the demonstrators.
But again, the idea that export testimony was going to come in and say, these guys said one thing, but they really meant something else.
You jurors, you're too stupid to understand English language, but I've got it figured out because I'm an expert on hate and white supremacy.
The fact is, people are long going to hesitate to take part in any future demonstrations that might even remotely have a chance in resulting in violence, even if that violence is instigated by Antifa or some other group.
And if you are going to do, if you're going to try people on some kind of conspiracy to commit violence, Antifa does this all the time.
They're always showing up with a clear intent of breaking up other people saying things they don't want to hear.
Go back real quick.
You might not remember this.
You know, an organization that just had their homes raided.
Project Veritas.
James O'Keefe.
Think back to the deplorable, Mr. Taylor.
I don't know if you remember what happened.
I was not invited.
Well, I remember there were, from what I saw, it looked like thousands of people right outside prepared.
If they could have gotten in, I think these people would have realistically killed everyone there.
The crowd was, was thankfully there was, from what I saw in the pictures, there was a divider,
there were police, the amount...
Just remind our listeners what the deplorable was.
In a much different country.
January 19th, 2017, it was an event hosted by Mike Cernovich, a number of other fantastic
individuals who at the time were emboldened by what had happened in the 2016 election.
Peter Thiel was there.
A number of really great people were there.
And they've all suffered because of this.
And that's the one sad thing about the whole Trump experiment is that a lot of the people
We're so instrumental in getting this guy elected.
I've suffered the worst!
Well, it was in effect an inaugural ball.
It was an inaugural ball the night before.
For the deplorables.
Exactly.
And I was so deplorable, I wasn't even invited to the deplorable.
But there you go.
Your deplorable level is so great.
But no, I can tell you why I'm bringing this up, Mr. Taylor, is O'Keefe was able to determine that there was a terror
threat against that, where they were going to somehow emit some sort of gas through the air conditioning vents.
And because they were able to infiltrate some of these so-called cells, they
were able to actually show that this was going to happen.
It goes back to just how crazy that year was.
And basically what's happening now, I think, I know we've got a lot to talk about with what just happened in Wisconsin.
I think we're going to talk about that in a few minutes.
I don't want to talk about that.
You don't want to talk about that?
No.
Waukesha?
You know what?
Anyway, we have to.
We will if we have to.
Well, we don't have to talk about it in length, but I'm just saying here we are right before Thanksgiving and I'm going to ask you a question.
Did you ever think you'd live to see a day where this country was, I mean... As I've said many times, I've been taking the racial temperature of this country for 30 years, very carefully, very sensitively.
And the temperature's been going up gradually, gradually, gradually.
But on May 25th, 2020, the patient suddenly went delirious.
And I did not see that coming.
I genuinely did not.
I did not see it coming.
This is just insanity.
But anyway, the robust, uninhibited right to free expression.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Americans brag about how they love the First Amendment, the marketplace of ideas, this sweet land of liberty.
It's such pathetic baloney.
It just drives me nuts.
It's a pathetic and grievous thing.
Well, you want to talk about I don't know what we can add to the whole Waukesha thing.
Now, this is, of course, there was this black guy who was driving an SUV.
He drove it right through a parade.
The dancing grannies were four of his victims, I believe.
What did he kill?
Now, the kill counts up to five.
Six.
Is it six?
The youngest is an eight-year-old.
Forty plus injuries.
Forty injuries.
What this is going to go down in history as is, well, he was fleeing the police because he was in some sort of knife fight or domestic battle.
Which has been completely dispelled by the police and by eyewitness account because he was zigzagging and trying to hit as many people as possible as if it was some sort of Grand Theft Auto video game.
It got to the point where his windshield was all smashed up.
He was looking out the window to drive and drive into people.
In any case, the official view is going to be, well, well, well, he was just escaping the police, and he happened to run down all these white people.
All the white people, all the injured and dead, white people, but this was not racially motivated.
He was just escaping the police, and of course the police are pigs, and they will open fire on any offending black person, so he was right to be fleeing the police.
And it's okay if there's collateral damage.
The reason why I just want to bring this up, I was talking to someone who's unbelievably intelligent.
Very well informed, read the news, and they were not aware.
This just shows you the power of the corporate regime, whatever you want to call it.
They had no idea of the racial background of the individual who committed this terror attack.
And I think that speaks volumes as to how what was such a monstrous act has been not only downplayed, I think the New York Times had it on page A22 of its Monday paper.
Page 22.
This stuff just doesn't count.
You know what's profoundly unimportant?
Well, as I recall, there was a Massachusetts school.
I can't remember.
It's a state school in Massachusetts.
I guess I don't have any notes on that.
No, it was Fitchburg State University.
This is in Massachusetts.
It sent an email message to students after the verdict.
It said, The Center for Diversity and Inclusiveness is creating space for our community to process the not guilty on all counts verdict in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
That case in which Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two people protesting the wrongful death of Jacob Blake in 2020.
Well, Jacob Blake is very much alive.
He's paralyzed, but he is not dead.
It was not a wrongful death.
The police were absolutely cleared of that, but they think he's dead, and they think it was a wrongful death, and then the original email went on to say, To list times for separate gatherings for students of color and their white student allies in designated separate spaces so the students of color can all grieve and all shed their tears together and all hold hands and the white people do it separately.
Separate spaces for faculty and staff also.
The white allies, you know, y'all are in the back of the bus while the black people who are suffering, again, why are they so worried about these dead white people?
Now, you might imagine that they think, as so many people appear to have done, that the people that got shot were black in Kenosha.
Apparently, there are a lot of Europeans who think that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know, in 2020, Jacob Blake was one of the names that you put on the back of your football helmet in the International Football League as part of the social justice initiative.
Oh, I don't doubt it.
Even though it was quickly determined, as you stated, He was going for a knife, and he had resisted being tasered.
He would not submit to commands.
He'd just been committing felonies under the very gaze of the police officers.
He was absolutely justified in their use of force, but nope, nope, nope, nope.
And all of these people in Kenosha were just standing up for the rights of blacks, and that's why white privilege, Kyle Rittenhouse, was considered justified in gunning him down.
That's what the blacks are telling us.
Anyway, moving on to something else.
Moving on to San Francisco, no less.
A lady shoplifter by the name of Aziza Graves.
Once again, Mellon Enhanced.
She stole $40,000 in merchandise from the same Target store in San Francisco in 120 incidents over a one-year period.
Yes!
She's prolific!
Well, she was finally arrested.
Finally arrested.
But the push to hold Aziza Graves responsible came only after San Francisco voters forced Chessa Boudin, of whom we've spoken frequently on this program, into a recall election with a petition yielding 83,000 signatures to get this guy out far above the 51,000 required by the city.
In any case, store staff and security do not stop thieves who have taken anything less than $1,000 because it is not worth the bother.
Although they've been keeping meticulous records, and apparently in her 120 incidents over a one-year period, she looted more than $1,000 on eight occasions.
They've been really keeping tabs on this, and finally they have got the prosecutor to prosecute!
Well, the way she did it was she would take her swag to one of these self-checkout kiosks and pretend to be paying for merchandise and then amble on out the store.
And then, apparently, she would frequently sell the swag just around the corner.
Now, what I don't understand is, Who would buy the swag?
Why not just walk in and help yourself if it's so easy?
But in any case, I guess there is some inhibition about actually going and stealing the stuff, but you can buy it for pennies on the dollar, then you can buy it from Aziza Graves.
Well, now, the Daily Mail, the British papers cover this stuff far more honestly than American papers.
The Daily Mail got a statement from Chesa Boudin.
And this is what he said.
I am proud of our officer's leadership, meticulous investigation, and cross-agency coordination to catch a woman who has shoplifted the same store 120 times.
That took a meticulous investigation.
Good Lord, no wonder they've got a recall against him.
As it happens.
The recall was confirmed on November 4th.
They got all the signatures.
They're in good order.
And June 7th is going to be the big day.
We should put that on our calendar, Mr. Kersey.
So you're talking about seven months away.
Does San Francisco have a pulse?
Probably not.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Maybe too late by then.
Interestingly, the effect has been led by members of Bhutan's own Democrat Party.
Even they are sick of him.
They're appalled by the decline of quality in life.
They campaigned to unseat Boudin.
It was recognized only in November 4.
It's already raised $1.6 million.
But believe it or not, people have kicked in $650,000 to support Boudin in the election.
$650,000?
Yes, to support this swine.
I wonder how much of it is from George Soros.
But he has been charging people with theft in less than 50% of all the cases brought to his attention, and the police don't bother most of the time.
And when they do bother, he won't even charge them 50% of the time, leading to claims that he's effectively legalized theft.
Now, you've seen the videos, Mr. Kersey.
These people march in, they just take armloads of merchandise, sweep them off the shelves into garbage bags, and sashay out the door.
But Walgreens, as we know, has already closed 17 stores in San Francisco.
Announced last month, it's closing another five because of constant shoplifting.
And let's see, Walgreens said that the pharmacy spends 46 times as much on security at stores in that city than anywhere else in the country.
I mean, why do they even bother?
Security doesn't seem to make a difference.
And furthermore, now this is interesting.
Mr. Boudin, the notorious Mr. Boudin, has reportedly dismissed cases against 113 out of 131 people arrested for felony domestic violence.
What?
Yes!
You'd think that in this Me Too era, and gotta protect the women, violence against women, and feminicide, and all of that, you'd think he'd at least be prosecuting that, but no!
In the last three months of 2020, he dismissed 113 out of 131 cases.
18 cases.
Yes.
Domestic violence suspect, for example, Joseph Williams, was released twice before he murdered seven-month-old Sincere Williams.
Was he melanin-enhanced?
Because I was going to ask, is this because the people who are being charged are disproportionately black?
That would be my guess.
Now, I haven't looked up Joseph Williams, but his victim, Sincere, is spelled S-Y-N-C-I-E-R-E.
So my suspicion is, since Cyr was certainly melanin-enhanced, and I suspect he was too.
God bless your soul.
In any case, yes, yes, this is just awful.
Sick.
Because again, this guy should never have had the opportunity to engage in such violence in San Francisco.
And, you know, this is becoming increasingly a situation where across the country you're seeing corporations like Best Buy just came out and said that, hey, this is actually hurting our stock price.
This is hurting investors.
No, what is exactly?
Oh, the shoplifting?
Shoplifting.
And I think that we're going to increasingly see this become a issue into 2022 now.
You and I both know the Republicans don't deserve anything that they're going to get.
We see that in your state of Virginia where you have this guy who promises all these things and then basically once he's elected... We'll see.
Yeah, exactly.
He'll enjoy his cocktail parties and he won't want to offend the press.
We saw that in Georgia with Brian Kemp.
Brian Kemp had an opportunity to do some great things but instead he bowed down to the person who still contends she won.
I forgot her name because she's what, the romance author?
Why am I blanking on her name?
Oh gosh, we will get to her.
Yes, she's a regular to her meals.
I can see her face.
I'm sure she's going to have a big spread for Thanksgiving.
I can see her face, I can see her figure.
Well, we will think of her.
In any case, you have a story.
I will look her up.
You have a story, though, about Thomas Jefferson.
I wish I didn't have this story, but of course President Trump was correct, and with Stacey Abrams.
So the story that I have, we mentioned this a few weeks ago, maybe about a month ago, that there was a push to have the Thomas Jefferson statue that's in New York City Hall.
Been there for about 200 years.
No vote by the actual citizens in New York.
Basically, it was a multicultural collection of elected officials who said, hey, this has got to go.
And in fact, in Kendi's book, by the way, on the racial history of America, he has a lot of vitriol for Thomas Jefferson, especially his notes on Virginia.
Didn't like that that much.
Well, he got it right.
T.J.
did.
He did.
This burden is going to be with us until it's not.
Here's the story.
Thomas Jefferson's statue removed from City Hall after 187 years.
Ladies and gentlemen, real quick, if you want to take a quick break and look this up, you can actually see the instruments that go around the statue.
They pull it off the pedestal.
If you just Google this real quick.
Well, at least they took good care of it.
They didn't cut it in half like the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond.
Yes.
Well, that'll come some point.
Yeah.
It wasn't ritual humiliation yet.
So, art handlers packed up an 884-pound statue in a wooden crate Monday.
After a mayoral commission voted to banish the likeness of the nation's third president from NYC City Hall, where it's resided for nearly two centuries, all because he owned slaves.
About a dozen workers with martial fine arts spent several hours carefully removing the painted plaster monument from its pedestal inside the city council chambers and surrounding it with sections of foam and wooden boards.
So they did.
They did take precaution to make sure this work of art is okay.
They wrapped it in swaddling clothes and laid it in a manger.
They had a pulley system that helped usher the founding father out the back door, so he didn't even deserve the front door.
They were like, just get him out the back door.
The 1833 statue will be on a long-term loan to the New York Historical Society, which plans to have Jefferson's model survive in its lobby and reading room.
So that's nice.
Not like the statue of Teddy Roosevelt that was removed.
from New York that's going to North Dakota, I believe.
Yes, yes, yes.
That was out in front of the Natural History Museum.
Beautiful.
I saw that.
I remember one of you got a picture taken in front of it years ago.
Carrie Butler, the Executive Director of the Public Design Commission that voted to banish the statue, at first trying to block the press from witnessing its removal.
Butler relented after members of the mayor's office and city council revained.
Commission also attempted to vote on the statute's removal without a public hearing on the controversial move until the New York Post revealed the diabolical plans of this anti-white commission.
Call it what it is, folks.
But they did not succeed in stopping it.
Now, Moving on to Austin, Texas.
Our listeners will be delighted to know that there's a research program promoted by the University of Texas, Austin, about white children.
It's for white children as young as four.
And it explains, it's called GOCAR.
GO-K-A-R.
And guess what K-A-R stands for?
Kids Against Racism.
Now, it is study given to white caregivers, I suppose, that's one of these modern euphemisms for parents, with children four and five years old who have not yet started kindergarten, and it's to explain to them the whole problems of anti-black racism.
And according to the researchers at the University of Texas, it creates opportunities for caregivers to engage in dialogue about anti-black racism with their preschool children at home.
You can start them young and potential for the program to reduce bias and increase awareness of racism.
And it outlines key terms.
Remember, these are four and five year olds.
Some of the key terms are systemic racism, people of color, racial identity, And this is going to be peddled far and wide, I'm sure, so that by the time they're learning about critical race theory in school, they can go to the head of the class.
They'll have heard it all before.
They will have learned their lessons ahead of time.
Now, this is the sort of story you usually dig up, Mr. Kersey, but did you know...
That 43% of the murder suspects arrested in Indianapolis through October this year were either out on pre-trial release or had got out of prison especially early.
No, I did not!
43%!
Yep.
And this doesn't even include juvenile suspects who almost always get lenient sentencing and pre-trial release.
Now, Republicans like to focus on the question of funding the police, but most of them tacitly agree with the lunatics running the country that somehow we have too many people in prison.
Of course, we don't have enough in prison.
Agreed.
Now, on November 17th, Indianapolis was on the verge of breaking its murder record for the second straight year.
And it now has a homicide rate almost as high as Chicago.
The incarceration population in the meantime, surprisingly not, has declined by 20% over the year as the murder rate increases, as the assault increases, and the overwhelming majority of these murders remain unsolved.
So you kill a guy and you're not going to go to jail, so you can kill another guy and still not go to jail.
And this is the sort of statistic that just comes up with a dreary sort of regularity, but Black people are 30% of the population, but they account for 75% of all homicide victims, and my guess is if they could actually track down homicide perpetrators, it would be an even higher number.
30%, 80%.
And this year appears to be on its way to be a record breaker.
So last year, Indianapolis broke the previous homicide record by 37%.
As I say, the overwhelming majority of these murders remain unsolved, and they are heading for a new record.
I can tell you the suspects are close to 90% black, Mr. Taylor, in Indianapolis.
That's actually one of the cities that I want to say was part of the Great Replacement.
series at American Renaissance.
Hopefully, Mr. Hood can get back to that in 2022.
Well, we're swamped with exciting stories.
Now, what is the next story on your list?
I've got one story, but there's a quote that I did not finish from the Jefferson story.
I think it's really important to bring up.
Members of the City Council were actually split on the statute of removal.
Minority Leader Joe Borrelli of Staten Island Republican called the move an attempt to sideline history, while the entity that actually forced this vote, the Black, Latino, and Asian caucus.
The co-chair of that coalition of the fringes, Danique Miller, a Democrat of Queens, she said,
I'm sorry, he said that he wanted the statue gone because it doesn't represent contemporary values.
Well, democracy, you know, I don't know.
Free speech?
He's right.
None of those things represent contemporary values.
No, they do not.
No, no.
No, they do not.
And speaking of contemporary values, our new U.S.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced Friday that the federal agency will establish a process to review and replace racially derogatory terms used in place names.
She's the first Native American Cabinet Secretary.
I'd rather call her the first Ameri-Indian.
Just call it what it is.
a Native American. She's an Amerindian. Let's get this correct. She was a person who happened
to be one of the various warring tribes that had yet to create anything resembling a government
on this continent.
Just call it what it is. Stone Age.
That's an offense to Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble.
The nation's first Samara Indian cabinet secretary said a newly created federal advisory committee will review and recommend changes to derogatory federal land names, according to a U.S.
Department of Interior press release.
The Advisory Committee on Reconciliation and Place Names, through a new Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force, will consult with the public and tribal representatives on potential name changes.
She declared the term S.Q.U.A.
a pejorative for Indigenous women to be derogatory, the press release said.
She ordered the Board on Geographic Names, the federal body tasked with naming geographic places, to develop procedures that would remove the term from federal usage.
You can no longer squawk it.
It's gone.
It's gone.
It currently appears in the names of more than, take a guess.
Well, I think I saw, wasn't it several hundred, 400?
650 federal land units, according to the Board on Geographic Names Data.
She said this, she said this, quote, Racist terms have no place in our vernacular or on our federal lands.
Our nation's lands and waters should be places to celebrate the outdoors and our shared cultural heritage, not to perpetuate the legacies of oppression."
Of course, I guess we can't even discuss the legacy of oppression of the various Amerindian tribes and what they did to one another, let alone the pale-faced settlers that they encountered.
Well, you realize, of course, white is now a racial slur.
I think we're going to have to remove that from place names, don't we?
I think any avenue, street... Yeah, white mountains, you know, white bluffs in Dixon County, Tennessee, white castle, that's in Iberia Palace, Louisiana, white cloud, that's in Mills County, Iowa, white creek, etc., etc.
All these things are going to have to go because white is clearly a racial slur.
But it's a racial slur used positively.
Well, I guess you're right.
It's a racial slur against people who deserve it.
Yes, they deserve to be displaced and dispossessed.
So the new Federal Advisory Committee aims to make this process more efficient by facilitating, quote, provocative and systematic Development and review of name change proposals.
Let me just go through here real quick.
Quote, names that still use derogatory terms are an embarrassing legacy of this country's colonialist and racist past, said John Echo Hawk, executive director of the Native American Rights Fund.
It is well past time for us as a nation to move forward beyond these derogatory terms and show Native people and all people equal respect.
Okay.
Well, as I say, we've got to get rid of white.
So, last thing.
In 1962, then Interior Secretary Stuart Udall directed the board to eliminate the use of derogatory terms for black people.
In 1974, the board identified a pejorative term for Japanese people as derogatory and got the axe as well.
The board also voted in 2008 to change the name of a mountain in Phoenix from Squaw Peak to Pistawea Peak in honor of Army Spec Lori Pistawa, the first Native American, the first American Indian woman to die in combat while serving the U.S.
military.
Squaw has been banned in Oregon, Maine, Montana, and Minnesota.
Congressional Democrats introduced legislation in July to rename more than 1,000 places in the USA That feature offensive language and racist slurs.
I wonder what's left besides Squaw these days?
Who knows?
Negro Bluff?
I don't know.
Ah, well, that'd be bad, too.
I don't know.
The Black Mountains?
They gotta go?
I don't know.
Well, now, have you ever heard of Young Dolph?
No, I have not.
Young Dolph.
Well, that sounds... Well, Young Dolph, age 36, walked into a cookie store just last week in Memphis called Makita's Butter Cookies.
Sounds delicious.
Well, I bet they are good.
To buy cookies, two people then drove up and opened fire, one with a semi-automatic rifle, one with a handgun, just right through the glass door, fired many rounds.
Apparently, young Dolph wheeled and fired back, but he was riddled with bullets and died at the scene.
Young Dolph was apparently an icon of the city of Memphis, of whom you were unaware.
You know all about Nathan Bedford Forrest, but you've never heard of Young Dolph.
I've not, no.
You are out of it, boy.
Hundreds of people flocked to the area as the word got out.
And there were so many people there that tensions flared, raw emotions spilled over, and people lay upon the ground weeping.
Young Dolph was a hero to these people.
Chaos broke out.
And at one point, a woman in a truck pulled up to the scene telling police she had a shooting
victim in the vehicle.
I guess she found the police there.
That shooting was apparently unrelated to the Young Dolph's shooting, but the EMTs treated the man on the scene
and took him to the hospital.
It took hours for the police to push the crowd back from this scene.
This guy, I mean, he must have been the equivalent of Elvis.
And his camouflage-colored Corvette sat in the parking lot for several hours until it was finally hauled away.
But the chaos was so great that Tennessee House Representative London Lamar and Memphis Councilman J.B.
Smiley called for a curfew in Memphis in the hopes that civil unrest and violence could be curbed.
Could be curved over the shooting of this guy.
Now, the next day, of course, memorials to young Dolph popped up outside.
Fans paid tribute, stuffed animals, balloons, flowers, candles, and a dolphin sign hung about.
And apparently people from as far away from Michigan drove in by the next day to pay their respects.
And you'd never heard of young Dolph.
I'm still like, what story is this?
What's that?
What story is this?
Well, this is the story of the week!
Good grief!
Gosh, don't you know?
Well, Young Dolph has had a spectacular career.
Oh, this is the rapper?
He's a rapper.
Okay, yes, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm not as hip as I should be when it comes to the rap scene.
Get with it, boy!
In September of 2017, he was shot outside a retail store in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
He spent two weeks in the hospital recovering from three gunshot wounds.
One person was booked in jail on charge of attempted murder, but was released with no charge.
Then, earlier that same year, in 2017, a rapper by the name of Black Youngstah, Black is spelled B-L-A-C, he was accused of firing over 100 rounds at Dolph's SUV.
Now, he had maintained he was innocent, but he turned himself in and he was released on bond the same day charged with six counts of discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling or a moving vehicle, but in 2019 those charges were dropped.
So, a lot of people apparently don't like Dolph.
A whole lot of people seem to love him, as is shown by these crowds just prostrate with grief and lying on the streets weeping, but a whole lot of people seem to have disliked him, and two who disliked him, who are still at large by the way, and judging from the record of the people who shoot at him and get away, they're going to get away too.
In any case, he was beloved and hated.
Now, question for you, Mr. Kersey.
Dolph.
That's an unusual name.
Do you think that's short for dolphin or perhaps Adolph?
What's your guess?
Probably not either.
I don't know.
Dolph Lundgren?
I don't know.
No.
D-O-L-F.
His name was Adolph Robert Thornton.
Really?
That's his real name.
Yes.
Adolph.
That's a name you don't hear too often anymore.
And those who think of young Dolph, they might imagine Austria in the late 1800s.
In any case, there's another story here.
Ooh, Tempest is fugitive.
Now, didn't you have a story about air pollution?
I haven't got much time, but speak to me of air pollution.
You know, again, this is one of those stories.
It's a mysterious story.
Yeah, exactly.
Air pollution disproportionately affects D.C.' 's black residents.
Say NASA!
So NASA no longer has an objective of getting America to the stars.
Well, didn't somebody say its number one job is to hire more Muslims?
That was years ago.
That was President Trump's director at NASA.
Charles Bolden, I believe, is his name, I think.
I can't remember his name.
That's right.
Did it succeed?
Did it succeed?
Is Mohammed the most common name?
The only reason we actually are no longer using the Russians is because Elon Musk, an African-American from South Africa, came along and SpaceX is actually working.
Anyways, asthma-caused emergency room trips are 30 times higher in Southeast DC.
I'm sorry, what are 30 times higher?
Asthma-caused emergency room trips are 30 times higher in southeast DC than in northwest DC.
Though clean air laws have seriously improved all of DC's air quality, the health benefits have not been experienced equally among the city's residents.
NASA's Earth Observatory in a new report includes a map that shows the locations in the district with the highest levels of fine particle pollution.
They largely intersect with neighborhoods whose residents are predominantly people of color.
So what does that tell you right away?
Well, I don't understand.
Does that mean that the particles somehow just gather and hover over the black neighborhoods?
Well, it's like gun violence breaks out like a hurricane, you know?
Apparently the particles, they just somehow, maybe they're attracted to melanin.
I don't understand.
Yeah, according to the map, the majority of the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwestern quadrants had the highest rates of air pollution mortality and the largest populations of black residents.
The research found the area, the rates of lung cancer, strokes, And COPD, which can all be connected to air quality, are five times higher in Southeast compared to Northwest.
You know, we need to get to the bottom of this.
Is it simply the fact that all of these allegedly pollution-related maladies higher among blacks, or is the air quality really worse around black people?
Which is it?
Tell me.
Do blacks somehow inherently cause air quality to decline?
We better be careful.
The air particles might talk to one another if you come over to Oakton, Virginia.
This is worth further study.
Anyways, this is one of those stories you see that is immediately supposed to shame you into if you're white.
Like, oh my god.
The very air that these people breathe is not as contaminated as the air that I breathe.
How dare I exist?
It's more contaminated.
Exactly, that's precise.
That's because white people exhale racism and it just flies through the air and attacks black people wherever they may be living.
No, this is just goofy stuff.
I'd really like to know really what they had in mind.
Gosh, boy, you know, I don't think we've got time for another story.
I wish we had a nice really short one.
We have Madame Butterfly to talk about.
I will put in a teaser.
Well, no, I'm not.
Well, the fact is, I must confess, I may be out to lunch for the next podcast or two, but I understand that Paul Kersey is probably going to rustle up a substitute.
We hope that's possible.
I mean, it wouldn't be even conceivable that you fly solo.
I thought before I could do it again.
Yes, you can.
There's some candidates for that, but I do want to say, what are you thankful for?
It's Thanksgiving tomorrow.
We wish everyone around the world, especially Americans, a very happy Thanksgiving listening to this podcast.
Well, I am very, very conventional.
I am thankful for my family.
Boy, oh boy.
I wish I had something more original to say.
I suppose if I were really super political, I'd be thankful for the brave jurors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, who found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty.
But in a most personal way, I'm thankful to be a beloved member of a beloved family.
And I know you are too.
All change starts at the kitchen table.
No more than that.
Yes, it does.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wherever you are.
It's been our pleasure and our honor to be with you on this occasion this week.
