Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable, irreplaceable co-host Paul Kersey.
And Mr. Kersey, today marks an important memorial, an important celebration.
So please remind our listeners of just how important today is.
I wish I didn't have to remind our listeners around the world, but happy George Floyd Day.
Or as you always say, we should be celebrating, I guess what, Derek Chauvin?
He's the guy who did something.
George Floyd just lay down and died.
You know, one of the officers who was just watching it just got charged with manslaughter.
I'm sure you saw one of the white officers.
There was, I believe there were two white officers.
And a Hmong guy.
Yeah, a Hmong guy.
And then, yeah, exactly.
So, yeah, I mean, here we are two years later, and we're living with the consequences of a random interaction between police there in Minneapolis and a career black criminal.
Well, you know, if white silence is violence, I mean, just standing there and looking, that's clearly a crime.
So I think he is toast, this guy.
Well, when we move on to comments here, many of you wrote in to say that my talking about how sad I was about the death of my cat humanized me.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I didn't realize I was in need of being humanized.
But, for those of you who ever had any doubt, the jury is in.
I am neither Klingon nor rat.
I have been humanized.
Well, people perceive you from your articles you write, the videos you do, and it's not personal.
When you communicate and you tell anecdotes and you allow people into your home to view the beauty of a podcast, I think, yeah, it does humanize you.
Well, I am then officially homo sap.
Okay, here's a comment again.
I was sorry to hear about the loss of that fine feline, the White Advocate.
The White Advocate.
That expression really has gone around.
You were clearly attached to her, as were many of your listeners, including me.
I valued the touch of whimsy she lent to your podcast, and we will all miss her sharp interjections.
You were quite incise.
Yes, a touch of whimsy.
You know, maybe you should make up for that.
You know, how about a touch of whimsy from time to time, Mr. Kersey?
That's a tall order.
Now, this person was moved to Doggerall.
Doggeroll of the, what do you call that, limerick type.
With the Marxists encroaching her tree line, to her death did this cat make a beeline.
Beaten down by the lies, she embraced her demise.
It's no fun to be realist and feline.
And this listener goes on to propose a moment of silence.
But rather than waste valuable air time, I suggest your listeners simply pause the podcast here for 9 minutes and 29 seconds.
Oh, I think we know what that means.
Yes, we know exactly what that means.
And on the most auspicious of days to celebrate it.
That's right.
This is the best possible day, the second anniversary of those famous and infamous 9 minutes and 29 seconds.
Yet another comment.
This has to do with the Buffalo shooting and the fact that it has pushed the idea of the Great Replacement, Kicking and Screaming, into center stage.
Our listener writes, it's interesting that the slightly testosterone positive pundits on the right have stopped short of the truth and won't state the obvious.
Whites are being replaced.
It's a political third rail fraught with potential for cancellation.
So their response has essentially been, well the left has admitted that they want to replace our population with those more inclined to vote for their party.
With few exceptions, I've not heard anyone, including Tucker Carlson, say anything about the newcomers other than their proclivity to vote Democrat.
They draw the line at party, not where it matters, which is race.
Very good.
On the ball.
Our so-called conservatives are sticking to their usual pusillanimity.
Another comment.
Remember we had, I guess it was just last week or the week before, we were talking about people complaining that there are not enough non-whites in clinical trials.
That's right.
I mean, despite the fact that biology is just an optical illusion, they think there should be non-whites.
Social contract, yeah.
It's, you know, it's odd.
I guess some medicines are fooled by this social optical illusion, just the way human beings are.
But this person goes on to say, I used to volunteer for these trials in college.
And they require drug tests, alcohol tests, blood pressure tests, etc.
Not only do you have to be in good health, you have to be drug and alcohol free, and you have to volunteer.
How many melanin-enhanced brethren are you realistically going to get under those circumstances?
Well, a relevant question.
They'll start paying them when they used to get volunteers, I suppose.
That's what they have to do.
And then our final comment.
I would like to thank Mr. Taylor for a video in which he explained that going to school and striving for achievement is the best way to help our people.
I was headed down a dark road, but that video, among other things, convinced me to go back to school, and I should graduate next year.
Well, I'm very glad that I persuaded that man, that that is the place to start.
This is a long haul, not a sprint.
And people who, I think, especially young people in high school or college, who come to the realization of just what a pernicious load of rubbish they've been fed, The tendency is to react, blow up, just go out like a shooting star.
No, no, no, no.
It's a long haul.
You can do your race an enormous amount of good by establishing yourself professionally in a career, have a family, have children, and at the same time you can devote yourself as need be and as is within your means to your race.
He goes on to say, on another matter, I left a comment on the BitChute channel for the podcast requesting that Mr. Taylor continue introducing Mr. Kersey as Indispensable.
And he has done so.
This is a feather in your cap, sir.
I will continue to introduce you as Mr. Indispensable.
And I will try and bring some mirth as the advocate once did.
You'll try to live up to this introduction of Indispensable.
Now, I guess we have to talk about this Texas shooting.
It's the big news today.
The person who did the shooting, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, apparently was a U.S.
citizen, although clearly Hispanic.
He killed 19 children and 2 adults.
The number seems to keep changing.
In a place called Uvalde, 85 miles west of San Antonio, he bought his gun legally on his 18th birthday.
Apparently, it was a Daniel Defense AR.
Oh, wow.
If that's the case, that is absolute as a Cadillac of AR-15s.
It is.
This guy was not hurting for cash, if that information is correct.
But this whole incident seems to have been composed of an all-Hispanic cast.
The school was, what, 95% Hispanic, where he did the shooting.
He apparently was wearing body armor.
He shot his grandmother before he went on his rampage.
And he's been an unbalanced guy and a weirdo.
Apparently he used to cut himself up in the face just for fun.
Oh, what?
Yes, just a very queer guy.
He was bullied about some kind of speech impediment.
He lashed out at people.
He would shoot BBs at folks from a passing car and throw eggs at their car.
He used to get in fights with his mother, moved in with his grandmother some months ago.
His grandmother owned the house where his mother lived, but was going to evict the mother because she used drugs.
It all sounds very sordid and unpleasant.
But no one, Mr. Kersey, seems to say that he was tormented by white supremacists.
But I'm sure they just forgot about the dozens of crosses that were burned on his lawn.
Now, I imagine what will happen here is they'll wonder, why did the police have to shoot this guy when they arrested the Buffalo guy?
Why do these lucky white people end up not being shot?
But I will say, 21 dead, it is an absolutely horrible thing.
But if you look at it, if you look at it from a cold statistical point of view, that's a bad summer weekend in Chicago.
Especially with Memorial Day coming up, who knows how many They basically canceled all leave for police officers in Chicago this weekend.
And as you noted a couple of weeks ago, what, Chicago's down about a thousand officers since that great date in 2020 when we're celebrating today.
I mean, this could be a very violent weekend across the country.
And you know what?
Our thoughts, you know, saying thoughts and prayers is silly.
I'm definitely thinking about the people of that city and the horrific... And you said correctly that the shooter was killed by police, right?
He was killed by police.
Or by a border agent, I believe.
By a border patrol.
Well, I understand border patrol was there.
Maybe they just happened to be available.
But this guy was not an illegal immigrant.
No, no, no.
He wasn't.
No.
But he was, some form of law enforcement shot him dead, which is probably just as well.
Well, I would like to say there was a lot of pressure today put on the NRA to cancel their conference that's going to be in Texas this weekend.
They did not cancel.
They are going ahead.
As you noted, I think it was last week we were talking and you said that in 1999, the NRA, at that point, Tarleton Heston was the president.
They were going to have their event in Denver.
A very different Colorado than the one that exists now.
It was a very red Colorado.
Well, they, after Columbine, they canceled.
And you said... I said they should have gone in with their flags flying high and their motto should have been, why no return fire?
But we'll see.
Of course, this is Texas.
Texas is a real gun state, and the gun laws in Texas certainly are not going to change on account of this.
It seems to me what we really need to do is bring back insane asylums.
I mean, I don't know just how certifiably insane this guy was, but the Buffalo guy, he was really off his rocker.
Yes, 100%.
But no, that would be insensitive to call people insane and lock them up.
In any case, on the subject of the Buffalo shooting, this is a rather tangential point, but I think it's worthwhile.
The Education Department of the State of New York issued this press releasement after the shooting.
In the wake of the heinous mass shooting in Buffalo, the department is taking numerous steps to explore potential areas of support for students and schools.
Such actions include having content experts from the department, in partnership with New York State educators, review all of the June 2022 Regents exams, which have already been printed and packaged for shipment to schools.
Regents exams are the official New York State subject exams.
You have to pass a certain number of them to get a high school diploma.
The New York State Department of Education goes on to say, during that review of the content of these already printed, packaged, and mailed Regents exams, our experts determined that there is content on the examination in United States history that has the potential to compound student trauma caused by the recent violence in Buffalo.
Oh, okay.
What that might be, they do not specify.
It goes on to say, it's not possible to produce a test with different content or to make modifications to the developed assessment in the short period of time before the administration date.
Therefore, appropriately to support our students and their well-being, the department is canceling the examination.
What the heck?
Because it might compound student trauma.
A history exam question.
Later, a spokesman said that there was only one question involved.
Apparently they can't just redact that.
They can't just black it out, I guess.
Ben, state officials said if media want to know what the question was, they should submit a Freedom of Information request.
Okay.
Because we ain't going to tell you.
Probably, if they told the press, that would just compound the trauma of all the media that were there.
They would swoon and need smelling salts if they actually heard the question.
Now, the commissioner of education for the entire state of New York, Mr. Kersey, is a lady by the name of Betty Rosa.
I've never heard of her before, but I have found out a few things about her.
She won the Latina of the Year Award for the New York State Assembly and the New York Senate's Puerto Rican Hispanic Task Force Award.
It's quite the honor.
It's a dual honor, I should say.
Oh, she is quite the thing, but it was she, a Hispanic, who decided that one question on this Regents exam might traumatize students, And so it's got to be pulled from the shelves.
There you go.
Now, another little story about murder.
This is the New York Times.
It's too bad that we have to talk about that subject so frequently, Mr. Kersey, but these are evil times in which we live.
New York Times says, the shots that fatally struck Kyra Tay, age 11, On Monday afternoon, we're fired by a 15-year-old boy.
The teenage suspect was riding as a passenger on a motorized scooter.
He and the scooter's 18-year-old driver... See, as a 15-year-old, he didn't even have a license.
Couldn't even drive the thing.
So, he's got an 18-year-old driving.
Omar Bojang was his name.
They were chasing another boy aged 13.
And as the scooter flew by, the 13-year-old can be seen on surveillance footage darting off in the opposite direction.
The police say the suspect, riding on the back of the scooter, then turned around and just starts firing indiscriminately and a stray bullet struck Kyra, age 11.
Oh boy.
An all-black cast, I think I need not say.
But one of these tragic, horrible things, this to me, something like this, is in its own way just as significant as what happened in Texas.
There is something utterly and crazy gone wrong and sick in society when people behave in this way.
All these people 13, 11, 15, 18.
Boy.
Al, what was the shooter again?
You said he was 15?
The shooter was 15.
The guy who was going after was 13.
He wanted to kill a 13-year-old.
What the heck?
In any case... Do we know what the beef was about?
Oh, probably.
You know, my standard one is, he stepped on my shoe.
That seems to be all it takes.
But, Mr. Kersey, I think you have a story which is not about murder.
No, it's not.
No, it's about the University of South Carolina.
Yeah!
Speak to us of USC.
So, they've quietly altered an application that excluded white people after a professor filed a complaint.
So this is University of South Carolina in Columbia, capital city of the great Palmetto State.
They plan to host a program open only to students of certain race and ethnicities.
But a professor filed a complaint alleging it was a violation of federal civil rights law.
And he said the application was open to everyone.
The Business Success Academy application through USC's Darla Moore School of Business
was originally open only to applicants who identify as African-American or black, Hispanic,
Latinx, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or two or more races.
So you could be half-white?
You could be half-white, yeah.
Mark Perry, a senior fellow emeritus at the AEI and a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan.
But Perry filed a Title 11 complaint What is this guy's name?
What's the professor's name?
Mark Perry.
He's done this before.
Mark Perry.
Yeah.
He's made quite a career for himself.
I think he has, yeah.
So he filed a Title 11 complaint and shared with the university the application was changed.
As of Friday, the application states the program is open to all rising high schools, juniors and seniors in South Carolina.
But it did highlight that students, quote, who are in support of the advancement of business students from diverse racial ethnic backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
Okay.
Yeah, Perry said that it's inexcusable for the University of South Carolina to blatantly violate such a clear civil rights law through a program that would have been exclusionary and inequitable.
Even though the university changed the way it worded eligibility, quote, It sounds like they are still going to have this preference for non-white students, but at least they are pretending now that it's going to be open to all students regardless of color, Perry said.
Now, of course, all of our listeners know on this most austere May 25th in the year of our White guilt savior, George Floyd, that the Title 11 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says no person in the U.S.
should be discriminated against under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
So as of May 20th, Perry said he has filed 471 Title... Wow!
As many as that!
Yeah.
Wow, wow.
Boy, this guy is a one-man industry.
Yeah, Title IX.
I should invite him on the podcast sometime.
I'm actually, and forgive me, it's Title VI.
My apology.
It's title six complaints which have resulted in 247 federal investigations and a hundred fifty four
resolutions mr. Taylor that he should that he said of all Almost been ruled in his favor
In his experience filing similar complaints, Perry said university diversocrats come up with the ideas that they believe sound good and further their goals of social justice, racial justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion, even though they often violate civil rights laws and discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, or national origin against You know, I guess it's not all that difficult.
If they say, anybody but whites, then that's such a clear violation of the law that it should be like shooting fish in a barrel.
But I believe, as he once said, they do this sort of thing so often, he figures a lot of them don't even realize it's against the law.
Yeah, and you know, he also pointed out that, you know, They've expanded Title IX to protect from discrimination on the basis of not just sex, but gender identity and sexual expression.
That you can't have scholarships for LGBTQ students anymore because those would be discriminatory on the basis of sexual orientation.
And you can't just have female-only programs because then you're discriminating on the basis of both sex and gender identity.
Which is so strange because we live in such a time period where gender is so fluid.
It changes on a daily basis.
You have no idea what exactly... That's right.
What once was legal becomes illegal and vice versa.
Exactly.
You gotta run to keep up.
I'm sure, like I said, he's filed 471 Title IX and Title VI complaints, I'm sure he can probably get up to a thousand in a few years at the rate we're going.
I think I'll try to get in touch with this guy.
In any case, now, an article in the Washington Post was called, What Can Stop a Diverse Democracy from Tearing Itself Apart?
What can?
What can?
Well, maybe Superman can.
I don't know.
We need some kind of superhero.
Diversity training seminars?
Yeah, yeah.
I think they help tear it apart.
This is a review of a book That is called The Great Experiment, Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart and How They Can Endure.
You know, it's always got to have the how, how they can be saved.
Now, the review goes like this.
As elections approach, politicians blame and name-call.
Sometimes they warn.
The soul of the nation is at stake.
Passions run hot.
But after the votes are counted, the fragile pact makes strict demands.
The losers must concede.
In exchange, the winners promise grace and restraint.
But what happens when concession feels like surrender?
What happens when your vision of America loses?
And he ties this kind of tension strictly and directly to diversity.
As you should.
Yasha Mouk is the author, and he says the history of diverse societies is grim.
He has appropriately harsh criticism for a political right trafficking in conspiratorial terrors of being replaced, a fear made all the worse by hateful stereotypes about their supposed future overlords.
He's got it pegged.
The Great Replacement's got it pegged.
He worries also about a left too hung up on past injustices and too attached to race-targeted policies to right those previous wrongs.
In the first part of the book, he describes how previous attempts at diverse democracy all devolved into petty and violent wreckage.
An important lesson.
This is a book you're going to check out?
I think I should recommend our readers.
Of course, our readers probably don't need to read this book, but it's called The Great Experiment, Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart.
And then I should think the fine print after an asterisk is in how they can endure.
But this guy says they never have. He says they all fell apart.
But this one, this one's going to work.
Our, of course, ours is going to work.
Which actions and institutions are likely to prevent or exacerbate conflict?
Monk asks.
I would love to answer these questions by taking you on a tour of all the diverse democracies that have fully solved their problems and built admirably just societies.
Those countries just don't exist.
But, ah, diversity is our strength.
This might be even better than Putnam's study that he held for almost a decade because he couldn't come to the right conclusions that diversity was a strength.
That's right.
But the United States has long been one of the most diverse countries in the world until recently.
Few would have placed it at risk.
Well, it wasn't as diverse.
The more diverse it gets, the more people worry about its future, don't they, Mr. Kersey?
And the more it takes for the managerial state to try and browbeat anybody who points out that diversity is not only not a strength, but it's what's ripping apart at the very sinew of our social fabric.
That's right.
Got to shut those people up.
So how'd this book get published?
So, what explains the variation in democratic stability among diverse societies?
A top-line finding from considerable scholarship is that ethnic diversity is not destabilizing in and of itself.
Got that?
Rather, it challenges democracy when it hardens into a winner-take-all struggle for power.
Well, I think that's pretty much what we've got now.
And he recommends modest forms of proportional representation.
Uh-oh is right.
Enough to ensure that all groups can gain some power and share in coalitions, but not so much as to lead to excessive fracture of many ethnic parties.
It sounds like a delicate tightrope, and it also sounds like it requires a rewriting of the Constitution.
Sounds like making a diverse society endure, as this guy likes to use the word, is a near impossible task.
Clearly a tricky business.
Now, likewise in the Washington Post, this is my daily morning read.
Mr. Kersey, I get a laugh, I roll my eyes at these people.
This is all about Back to Africa.
And Karen Attia.
Back to Africa.
Is that what you said?
Back to Africa.
And I think on the second anniversary of George Floyd's demise, when he didn't go back to Africa, but he went, I guess, to that great black continent in the sky.
Well, some would argue that Minneapolis is beginning to resemble Africa.
Parts of it.
I believe the majority of births at hospitals now in Minneapolis are to Somali women.
No, that can't be.
To Somalis?
Somalis outnumber everybody else?
I don't believe it.
I have heard that if a listener wants to prove a meme that I saw correct, I'll tell you what, go ahead and shoot that confirmation to BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com or They can send it to the Contact Us tab at amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, but I won't believe it until I see it.
You're telling me that Somali babies are more than half of all babies born in Minneapolis?
I have heard this.
I saw a meme today.
I would like to get proof.
If somebody out there can look it up, I'm sure knowing where the Corporate media is in promoting the Great Replacement as a great thing.
I'm sure they've done an article about this transformation.
So then Miss Atiyah is not going to have to go back to Africa, as you point out.
Africa is coming here.
What joy!
Well, she starts her article, Let's see, by quoting W.E.B.
Du Bois, you know, he left for Africa in 1963.
He buggered off.
He died in Africa.
He was an outright communist, of course.
Yes, he was.
He ended up hating the United States.
Here's some of his poetry.
He was quite a gifted little doggeralist.
He says, from reeking west whose day is done, who stink and stagger in their dung.
These are white people, see?
The reeking west whose day is done, we sink and stagger in our dung, you and me Mr. Kersey.
Towards Africa.
Come with us, dark America.
The scum of Europe battened here and drowned a dream, made fetid swamp a refuge seen.
He's talking about colonists, of course.
The scum of Europe came and grew fat here.
In any case, I hadn't heard that poem of his before, but this is my favorite of his.
Remind me, Dubois was a quadroon or an octroon?
I, you know, I just don't have the numbers straight in my head.
I think he was, he looks, I'd say he's about a quarter black, maybe a little more, hard to say.
Okay.
But here's my favorite of his poems, and this is his ode to white people.
Oh!
I hate them, oh, I hate them well.
I hate them, Christ, as I hate hell.
If I were God, I'd sound their knell this day.
Pretty strong talk.
Strong talk.
Sounds like he should be the poet laureate of the post-George Floyd United States of America.
That's right.
He's got it down.
He was ahead of his time.
Critical race theory in a nutshell.
That's pretty damn critical.
As Karen Attea, who is one of the regular opinion columnists at the Washington Post, she writes, Nearly 60 years after Du Bois' death, America is still trying to perfume itself to the world as a haven of freedom and progress.
But the past weekend, she's talking about Buffalo, has been a reminder that America is all too content to tolerate the stench of black death.
Don't we just love the stench of black death?
This is the way they write about us.
America is all too content to tolerate the stench of black death.
So she's saying that all white people are complicit in this because they tolerate this?
We're happy to tolerate it.
We're happy to tolerate it, yes, despite trying to perfume ourselves as this world of this haven of freedom.
Then she blames Tucker Carlson and other race-baiting GOP apparatchiks for prompting racism and the Great Replacement Theory.
But, and this is the dangerous part, she's issuing a warning.
If President Biden's reactions are anything to go by, the temptation is to believe that the salve For America's racist spasms is a good old dose of national unity.
This liberal complacency puts us all at risk.
In other words, national unity is not enough.
I wonder what she would think.
What would be her solution?
National unity isn't good enough.
I suspect she wants us to go back to Europe.
She must have read the book about diversity, which shows that national unity in a diverse society is incompatible.
Well, she's got, I bet if you asked her point blank, well what's the, she might take the Brittany Cooper line.
Professor Crunk.
Professor Crunk, indeed.
But let's not pressure too closely on that.
She says, with these domestic options, if all we've got is Republicans pushing Great Replacement Theory and Democrats calling for national unity, with these domestic options, it's no wonder that there are more stories of black people yearning for elsewhere.
Black people don't have to feel trapped in America.
And she then quotes Barbara Oteng Gyasi.
In 2020, she was Ghana's tourism minister at a ceremony in Accra marking George Floyd's murder.
She says, you do not have to stay where you are not wanted forever.
You have a choice and Africa is waiting for you.
And then she says, as open racism becomes more mainstream in modern Western countries, Do you see open racism becoming more mainstream in modern Western countries?
Only if it's the type of racism that we saw in DuBois' poem, Ode to White People.
That's what's open and that's what's mainstream.
Anti-whiteness.
Boy, I'll say.
She says, as this becomes more mainstream, will black shit become a bigger movement?
Black people in the diaspora no longer have to be chained to countries that jail them, kill them, and subject them to horrific hate crimes.
How many black people did black people kill last year?
10,000?
How many black people did a 13-year-old being chased by a 15-year-old with a gun in what city was that?
New York?
That was in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wasn't a Klansman after that 13-year-old.
Some innocent little, what, 11-year-old, or I think you said was killed, little black girl?
That's right.
Not shot by a neo-Nazi.
No, sir.
And every year, how many police or how many black unarmed men are killed by police?
Sometimes seven, sometimes 12, sometimes 13, but no, 10,000 of them were killed by each
other.
But she thinks blacks don't have to be chained to countries that jail them, kill them and
subject them to horrific hate crimes.
Okay.
Now, she of course is black and she got a little bit of probably unwanted attention
when in a tweet she blamed white women for the 1921 Tulsa massacre.
It was the fault of white women.
Also the murder of Emmett Till.
You know, that was a white woman's fault.
Okay.
Yep.
And the exclusion of black women from feminist movements.
And she was also furious that 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump.
And so she concluded with these words.
I'm just saying, be happy we are calling for equality and not revenge.
She's a nice lady.
Not revenge, wow.
I tell you this, I tell you this, all this fantasy about going back to Africa, if you are a regular opinion columnist at the Washington Post, you are probably petted and coddled, swooned over, and she's never going back to Africa.
She's not living in Anacostia.
She's definitely living in Alexandria or Crystal City or Arlington.
And you know that's just got to be full of hateful white people that make her life miserable hour after hour.
And yet I'm sure all those white people do nothing but smile and do everything they can to make her feel loved and
accepted in a 2% black, you know, condo property.
No, but she's, oh, she's angry.
She wants revenge.
So now tell me, tell me about school boards.
Well, before I tell you about school boards, since it's the anniversary of the George Floyd, I want to preface this, uh, this story.
This is cut.
This is one of those shot chaser type stories.
This is from the New York times in, um, June, Second, 2020.
The headline, Mr. Taylor, read thus, Former commanders fault Trump's use of troops against protesters.
After military helicopters carried out a show of force mission to discourage protesters, retired senior military leaders condemned their successors for deploying such tactics.
Now, you may recall that the White House Was nearly breached.
They had to have Trump actually had to go into a secure basement where there were arguments about the Insurrection Act.
Yes.
First time the president had to be hustled off since the War of 1812.
Yeah, that's right.
So you have 60 plus Secret Service agents are hospitalized from this attack.
I believe it happened on May 31st.
And so the next day, that's when Trump famously had it cleared.
He walked out with a Bible.
I think they tried to set a church on fire.
Yeah.
Oh, they did.
They did.
The famous St.
Andrews, is it St.
Andrews?
I forgot the name of the church, but that's the shot, Mr. Chaser.
Here is the Chaser.
But now wait, these military guys are complaining that they flew military helicopters over the demonstrators?
Is that what they did?
Well boy, gosh, that must have just terrified them.
I don't suppose it was Apache attack helicopters either.
They were probably just... It's a shame they weren't.
It's a shame they weren't A-10 Warthogs.
But anyways... Boy, yes, that would learn them.
Yeah, you know, fly over an F-18 sort of, yeah, definitely.
So that's the shot.
Here's the chaser.
Here's the chaser.
My mouth is open.
Gulp.
Get ready because there's a big shot.
National school board group considered asking Biden to deploy military police against parents.
The National Security Boards Association considered urging the Biden admin to deploy the military to school board meetings to monitor threats against board members in September 2021, according to an independent review conducted by attorneys.
The NSBA sent a letter to the Biden admin September 29, 2021, calling for the federal government to use anti-terrorism laws, including the Patriot Act, to treat violence and threats of violence against school board members as, quote, the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes, end quote.
However, in an early draft, the NSBA called for the deployment of the National Guard and the military police to monitor school board meetings before removing the language according to the independent review of its decision to request federal authorities to monitor school board activities.
Now remember, Trump wanted to have the National Guard called in, and some of them actually refused to come to Washington during the George Floyd stuff.
I mean, the more you think back to what was actually going on two years ago, I mean, we really watched almost a coup in some ways of the president of the executive branch's power to run things.
When you have retired officers saying, senior military officers, probably, you know, the same ones who are advocating for Ukrainian independence, saying, oh, you can't use a show of force against these protesters.
Well, they did end up finally calling in the National Guard in 30 states and the District of Columbia.
They did.
But the idea that what went on in school board meetings was as serious as the sustained night after night after night riots?
These people are local.
Quote, we asked that the Army National Guard and its military police be deployed to certain school districts and related events where students and school personnel have been subjected to acts and threats of violence, the early draft of the letter said.
Days after the final NSBA letter was sent, Attorney General Merrick Garland called on the FBI to use its authority against those who intimidate, harass, or threaten school board members.
Now, of course, the NSBA walked back its letter in October and apologized after widespread blowback
over a public misconception that the organization was attempting
to target concerned parents who were protesting at school board meetings.
But again, go back to the shot.
Senior military leaders are basically saying, you know what?
The White House was burned in 1812 by the British.
Let this mob, they're a righteous mob who have the moral authority after the Precinct 3 was burned.
I can't remember the date that the 3rd Precinct was burned in Minneapolis.
Maybe, I think it was a memorial.
Maybe a week after, a week or 10 days after.
In any case, it was very shortly after George Floyd died.
Because we were actually doing the podcast live.
And I said, during broad daylight, I was like, Mr. Taylor, they're going crazy in St.
Paul in broad daylight.
This is not going to be good.
They are toasting marshmallows.
You can buy those for free.
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, there you go.
Now, I don't think, I have never heard of a single act of violence carried out by people protesting CRT, critical race theory, at these school boards.
And the only guy I ever heard of any kind of violence at all was a fellow whose daughter had been raped by some man, some student male who claimed to be female, and then got sent to another school and did exactly the same thing.
And he tussled with police for some reason, but no, they gotta call out the National Guard.
Keep that guy under control.
Well, let's see.
I have some good news for all of our Southern listeners.
Actual Southerners and Southerners of the mind.
And that is to say, two Virginia schools that were named for Confederate generals and soldiers that changed their names in the wake of George Floyd, back to that name again, that totemic name, are gonna go back to their earlier names.
The Shenandoah County School Board changed Stonewall Jackson High School to Mountain View High School and Ashby Lee Elementary School to Honey Run Elementary School.
That sounds like what wives say to their husbands.
Honey, run down to the grocery store, will you?
Honey Run Elementary School.
Now, Turner Ashby was an American cavalry officer.
He was a confederate known as the Black Knight, and of course, Lee, Ashby Lee, was the sainted General Lee.
But less than two years later, a petition was launched to gauge the strength of feeling on reverting the names back to their original names.
Vocal opposition came from community members and alumni with more than 4,000 people signing the petition to switch the names back.
So, it looks like we're going to get back to Stonewall Jackson High School, the Great Stonewall, and Ashby Lee Elementary School.
Rarely do we get good news, certainly on the Confederate front.
Now, I'm going to talk briefly about Congresswoman, uh, Congresswoman, what is her name?
Joyce Beatty.
I bet you can't peg Joyce Beatty.
I can't.
Well, she's the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus.
So you haven't been paying attention, Mr. Kersey.
I can tell you that I've seen pictures of a lot of these individuals who make up the Congressional Black Caucus.
It is amazing how much they resemble Dubois when it comes to the various shades.
I'm sure she might pass the...
What is that test?
The brown paper bag test for sororities?
No, no, no.
I think she might fail.
She might fail.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you know, the black of the berry, the sweet of the juice, and the black of the berry, the more likely you are to run the Congressional Black Caucus.
Well, she had a press conference outside the Capitol.
Nancy Pelosi was in attendance along with what looked like 50 or so people.
It was one of these press conferences where you stand behind a podium and swarms of capital steps behind you.
Wow, this is really, really important.
Listen up, media.
And she said, on Monday, three people in a Korean-owned hair salon in Dallas were gunned down by yet another white supremacy replacement theorist.
We are sick of the pipeline from racist rhetoric to racist violence, she said.
Well, the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus got a detail wrong.
The person who did that was black, not white.
I think you are probably aware of this.
This was in Koreatown.
And a certain Jeremy Smith, age 37, walked into the Hair World salon and opened fire on seven people with a .22 rifle.
That was down in Texas, right?
That was down in Texas.
Yes, it was.
And he got off 13 shots.
The FBI said it's a hate crime.
And apparently what touched him off is he was in an automobile accident two years ago with an Asian male.
And that gave him panic attacks and delusions when people of Asian descent came around.
So hold on a second.
He had a thing about Asians.
Let me ask a question.
So you're saying in the past, less than, what, a fortnight, there have been two mass shootings involving non-whites in the great state of Texas?
Seems to be.
Okay.
That's right.
Just curious.
This was in Dallas and the other one was in Ulvalde.
Yes.
Not far from San Antonio, but it's a big state, you know.
It can handle a lot of mass shootings.
Big state.
And it also turns out that this Smith had been fired from his previous job at the Ultra Beauty Warehouse for attacking his Asian boss.
So he has got something about Asians on the brain.
But in the midst of all the lamentations about anti-Asian hate, this guy has been so thoroughly forgotten that Congresswoman Beatty transformed him in her mind into a white man.
But back to the press conference with this well-informed, punctiliously accurate Joyce Beattie.
This is all to talk about replacement theory and she said replacement theory is a key plank of the Republican platform.
That's news to a lot of Republicans.
It's news to us.
If only.
Yeah, she says to Republicans, tell me what you say to the families of, and then she read out the names, the 10 dead in Buffalo, let's hold the right people accountable and the right people are the Republicans in Congress.
So Republicans in Congress are accountable.
They're responsible for those dead black people in Buffalo.
This was all in support of something called the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act.
This has already passed the House.
Okay.
This is a nasty sounding law.
It was approved 222 to 203.
One Republican, some Illinois Republican actually voted for it, but otherwise it was a straight party line vote.
And Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says you're going to bring the bill to the floor in the Senate, and they're all excited because of this Buffalo attack.
Now, they first started pushing this after the January 6th riot.
And I suppose I should explain a little bit about what this does.
It defines white supremacy as just the worst possible terrorist threat, sets up an interagency task force.
Doesn't that sound great?
I always wanted to be on an interagency task force.
That just sounds so important.
Sounds amazing.
Sounds like there'd be some great catered meals.
I bet.
Sounds like a big expense account, too.
Yeah, an interagency task force.
And it's going to stamp out domestic terrorism.
It's going to have special headquarters established in all the law enforcement departments.
And it's going to officially declare Islamic terrorism a minor matter.
So all the boys who are looking at Islamic terrorism can switch their eagle eye over to wicked white supremacists.
In any case, yes, the House Democrats first started pushing this after the January 6th riot.
Because that, of course, in their mind, was white supremacy, red in tooth and claw.
Of course, federal and state law enforcement agencies already have plenty of ways to go after suspected terrorists.
Anybody that plots or carries out violence, you can prosecute and punish them.
And look how they handled the Jan Sixers, after all.
They certainly went to work on them.
Yes, they did.
There's still a lot of them are locked in prison, away from family, friends.
Didn't even take an interagency task force.
But, muzzies are off the hook.
Yes, indeed.
And, of course, what Democrats would do is then go after policy preferences, Second Amendment, free expression, opposition to CRT, and say, ooh, these are breeding grounds of white supremacy and potential violence.
So, there's a good chance that this will die in the Senate.
The Senators are all saying the right things about it.
And, of course, what some of the Senators, Republican Senators, are wondering is, after the firebomb attacks on various pro-life groups, why isn't this considered domestic terrorism?
Well, I would say after what happened in the summer of 2020 when a lot of these domestic terrorists that were firebombing federal buildings, doing all sorts of vandalism, destroying Public property, private property, so many of them were let off by Soros-funded DAs.
Slap on the wrist.
Not even a slap on the wrist!
Some of them had to do community service.
Wasn't there... I'm putting it on the spot here because I still don't believe this is true, but you verified it.
I believe it was Portsmouth, Virginia where a statue fell on people and they actually got money from the city That's right.
That's right.
It was an astonishing thing, and they had some city government people.
What happened is they had city government people help him pull it down, and then they were indicted, and then charges were dropped, and they were compensated for their indignity, this attachment, this assault on their dignity by arresting them.
I believe it was something along those lines.
But yes, we live in a topsy-turvy time, but I would like you now to tell us about Cobb County.
Yeah, this is going to be quick.
This is just one of those interesting stories that we see popping up everywhere where people are told to state that diversity is our greatest strength, but then privately they do everything they can to escape it.
Basically what just happened in 2020, Jerrica Richardson and two other black women gave Democrats control of the commission overseeing this affluent suburban Atlantic County for the first time in decades.
Oh, blacks run Cobb County?
Yeah.
The Republican-controlled legislator has passed bills that would give three largely white parts of the county a chance to form their own government.
The new cities would take over key parts of the county's decision-making power.
Two of them would be in Richardson's district, which GOP lawmakers have also reconfigured in a way that draws her out of her seat.
So proponents of the cityhood measures say local residents need adequate representation, self-control, and greater control over development.
Some critics see race as a driving factor.
Two of the cityhood efforts reflect a pattern of backlash against the election of three black women to the Cobb Commission, said State Rep.
Mary Frances Williams, a Cobb County Democrat.
Just so people understand what Cobb County is.
It's to the north of Fulton County, where Atlanta is.
And if memory serves correct, here we go.
It's become more diverse in recent decades, with non-Hispanic white residents making up just over 51% of the population today, compared with 85% in 1990.
In 1980, it was 97% white.
In the 1980s, they successfully stopped MARTA from coming to Cobb County.
In 1980, it was 97% white.
In the 1980s, they successfully stopped MARTA from coming to Cobb County.
Is this a small replacement?
This is a great replacement.
But one of the white county commissioners back in the 80s said they would never let MARTA in.
We would put moats in the river.
I can't remember what river it is that separates Fulton from Cobb.
But obviously, you know, you can only run for so long.
And the county, you know, is heavily diverse.
It's almost a plurality.
So you have an effort of these areas that Let's see here.
In the area that would become East Cobb, a very nice area, white residents would represent more than 70% of the population according to county estimates.
Vineyams and Lost Mountain will also have a significantly higher percentage of white residents than the county as a whole.
Those cities' median incomes would exceed $110,000 compared with $78,000 for the county.
Okay, so they're going to carve out white-topias in this increasingly diverse county.
Yes, yes, yes.
And there's also a referendum on the ballot in November for Mapleton, another area of Cobb County that's mostly black and Hispanic, so they can have their own little... Their own little Wakanda.
Yeah!
Well, you follow this pretty carefully.
How likely is this breakup to take place?
Do you want to lay some odds?
this. Well, you follow this pretty carefully. How likely is this breakup to take place?
Do you have any, you want to lay some odds? I don't know because again, a lot of people are
probably not aware of what could potentially happen with their property taxes going up at
the cities and then you have to fund your own police force.
You have to fund your own... Probably like that, actually.
Your property values would go up, I'd imagine.
We'll see.
In the grand scheme of things, the fact is, Buckhead tried.
Buckhead unsuccessfully.
The state legislature controlled by the GOP in Georgia said no to it for this time.
Oh, the state legislature forbade it?
Yep.
Could the state legislature stop these people in Cobb also?
They gave them, they said go ahead.
They voted to.
But Buckhead is too big of a deal because it would break Atlanta's back.
Because then you'd have... All those wicked white people pay wicked white taxes.
They have to keep the city too busy to hate going.
I do want to ask you a question here.
May 25th is such a fascinating date.
What to you was the most surreal moment?
I would say the complete abandonment of the 6th Precinct building by the Minneapolis Police.
Do you have a memory?
I would say, I would say the complete abandonment of the 6th Precinct building by the Minneapolis
Police.
This is astonishing to me.
They just, they told the police, turn it over to the rioting.
The mayor of the third precinct, yeah.
Oh, was it the third precinct?
Yeah.
Okay, yes.
And they burned the whole place.
The police, can you imagine how bitter it must be for a police officer?
Fighting these people all your career, and you're ordered by your superiors, abandon ship.
Surrender.
Turn the place over to the enemy.
Good lord, I think I would have resigned on the spot.
I think I would have refused.
And now you know why a thousand plus officers have left Chicago to seek employment in other precincts across the country.
Well, we'll see what happens in Cobb County.
Now, I have an interesting little article about kidney disease.
White people make up about 12% of the U.S.
population, but they account for 35% of the Americans with kidney failure.
Kidney failure, not a nice thing to have.
Black patients tend to get kidney disease at younger ages and the damage to their organs often progresses more quickly.
Now this article from the New York Times just states this, just tosses this off as a matter of fact.
Social disparities and systemic racism contribute to this burden.
I mean, that just goes without saying.
But—and here's a big but, Mr. Kersey—there's also a genetic factor.
Uh-oh.
The Times has discovered genes.
That's a four-letter word for these people.
Many with sub-Saharan ancestors have a copy of a variant of the gene APOL1 inherited from each parent, which puts them at high risk.
Researchers have known for a decade that APOL1 is one of the most powerful genes underlying kidney failure.
But, you know, don't forget about systemic racism and social disparities.
As many as 10 companies now are working on drugs to target the APOL1 variant.
10!
Wow.
Saving black lives is hot stuff these days.
Saving all lives should be hot stuff.
But in science, as we know, yes, genes are real.
Race is not a social construct, as this article clearly states.
Well, a federal grant to test whether Barictinib.
Is I getting that right?
No.
Baricitinib.
Baricitinib.
A drug that treats rheumatoid arthritis can help kidney patients with the variants of the APOL1.
It turns out the variants rose to a high frequency among people in sub-Saharan Africa because this combination is a powerful protection against sleeping sickness.
Isn't that interesting?
It is.
So, it's like sickle cell anemia.
It helps against malaria.
That's the sickle cell.
And 39% of black Americans have one copy.
That increases the risks.
Another 13%, or nearly 5.5 million, have two copies.
And 15 to 20% of those, the two copies, will get kidney disease.
Now, in response to this scientific advance and all these 10 companies working to figure out drugs to help these people, what does Dr. Opeyemi Olaybisi have to say about that?
He is a kidney specialist at Duke University.
He says, the focus on variants may let policymakers ignore the social and economic disparities that cause the disease.
We don't want to pretend that the biology doesn't exist.
That would not be doing the community any good.
But ethical issues have to be tempered with... Ethical issues have tempered experts' enthusiasm about the genetic discoveries.
They're not happy about that.
They don't want some drug that may help this because it has discovered a genetic difference that might result in disease.
Can't have that.
Listen to what Harriet A. Washington... So black lives don't matter in this case?
Apparently not.
If genes are involved, hush that up.
She's a lecturer in ethics at Columbia University and author of the book Medical Apartheid.
She worries that knowledge of the role of APOL1 variants can drive the medical establishment towards a blame-the-victim approach, signaling an inherent flaw in African Americans.
Well, you know, if you have genes that give you astigmatism, is that recognizing that, is that blame the victim?
No, I think that only happens.
Or there's these B-R-A's.
No, what is it?
The A-P-O-E-D gene that gets people more likely to get breast cancer.
Does that blame the victim?
No, you figure it out and you treat it.
But if black people are involved, oh boy, any talk of genes, that's just awful.
Absolutely awful.
And she adds, the implications are, this is something happening in nature.
So what can we do about it?
Well, we search for medical treatment for it.
Such an attitude, she added, invites futility and absolves health care from treating sufferers.
Joseph L. Graves, a professor of biological sciences at North Carolina Ag and Tech State University, raised another issue.
We don't want to fall into the myth of the genetically sick African, he says.
So what are they supposed to do?
Completely ignore this genetic condition?
Yes.
And tell these 10 companies who are working on solutions to help save black lives, stop, stop, stop!
It isn't ethical in a post-George Floyd America to try and do any of this stuff.
I guess it's not.
Don't you understand?
Can't save black lives.
We must maintain the holy sacrament even if it means keeping black lives from, even if it means taking black lives.
Yes, yes.
Crazy, but there you go.
Now, here is a rather peculiar story.
It made the rounds in a sort of an underground way.
Police in Wichita, Kansas are on the hunt for a suspect they dubbed the Poopatrator.
This is the lady who defecated in the middle of a beauty store last week in Wichita, Kansas.
They did not release the woman's name, but They did say they have confirmed the identity of someone they call Public Enemy Number Two.
They've really got a sense of humor, these people.
Public Enemy Number Two was caught on surveillance camera defecating in an aisle of Mid-K Beauty Supply.
And according to press results, I'm sorry, the police report, the defecation was significant enough to destroy eight wigs.
Now was that high line pressure or did she use these for... I don't know.
Destroyed eight wigs!
Quite extraordinary.
Don't know much about that industry.
Well, the wig industry.
But the incident was caught on camera, but for the good of all of you, we are not posting the footage of this fecal assault, said the Wichita cops.
Now, she is an African-Americanist, and she is clearly, in the video, very regular to her meals, so maybe she does produce enough to destroy eight wigs.
Be that as it may, that was exciting news in Wichita, Kansas at the time.
But we are running short on time, Mr. Kersey, so I think we should once again repeat our usual appeal for comment, correction, love letters, hate mail.
Give ten Hail Marys to St.
Floyd?
Is that requisite yet?
No.
I do want one last question for you.
Isn't it strange that Georgia would capitulate under Brian Kemp?
And give Ahmaud Arbery a day, and then they'd ask people to, what, run two miles and something for... I don't recall the... I think it's 2.23 miles.
Yeah.
And I've forgotten the significance of that now.
That was not how far... Oh, it was because it was February 23rd.
February 23rd.
That's right.
2-23, that's right.
February 23rd was when this happened.
It is interesting that, you know, George Floyd has memorials.
I believe there are two monuments, one in Newark, but Alas, no George Floyd day.
No.
Well, every day is George Floyd day.
So, uh, well, yes.
Write to us at, as you said, because we live here at protonmail.com.
Once again, all one word because we live here at protonmail.com or Amaran.com, contact us tab, send us corrections, send us questions, send us comments, and we will read them all.
And those that are worthy, we will read out over the air.
