Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me, of course, is my incandescent and irreplaceable, inimitable co-host, Paul Kersey.
The three I's.
That's right.
I, I, I. And we'll begin with comments from readers.
Last year, I'm afraid I fumbled with Victor Orban's title.
I wasn't sure whether he was president or prime minister.
Very embarrassing.
And a listener writes in to say he is the prime minister, Mr. Taylor.
Get that straight the next time.
So, I will try to do no more wrong on the subject of Victor Orban.
Another comment.
A listener sent us a poster for a week-long exhibit on Afrofuturism coming to his town.
And one of the slogans on it said, Exploring Justice Through Beauty.
Now apparently Afrofuturism, according to this poster, is a vision of the future in which people of African descent not only have a place in but are synonymous with the progress and advancement of the human race.
I guess they take the lead and just leave us bobbing in their wake.
This will be, I might add, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which has a black population of, get this, 1.7%.
1%?
1.7%, yes.
So the people of Portsmouth really have to know about Afrofuturism because they wouldn't learn about it any other way.
And remember, this is a week-long exhibit, so they'll have probably all the Afrofuturism they will need for the rest of the decade.
Now, the listener sends us more information on the origin of Afrofuturism.
Apparently, a white guy by the name of Mark Derry, who is an American author, lecturer, and cultural critic, came up with the term.
An early observer and critic of online culture, he helped to popularize the term culture jamming, whatever that is.
He didn't popularize it enough so that I'd heard of it, and is generally credited with having coined the term Afrofuturism in his essay, Black to the Future.
Black to the Future.
Do we know what year that that came out?
I do not know.
Let's find out.
I guess white people make the best black folks after all, huh?
So white guy came up with Afrofuturism.
Well, bravo for him.
Well, while you're looking up on that, I would like to talk a little bit about insane white people.
There's a lot of them.
Oh, there are many, there are many.
A group of retired military heavyweights has urged the Supreme Court to uphold affirmative action, that is to say racial prejudice against whites and Asians, in higher education when the justices, the Supreme Court justices, review a legal challenge.
To race-conscious admissions policies at UNC and Harvard.
Now, we've talked about all the heavy hitters in industry saying, oh no, no, no, we've got to have, we've got to have these under-qualified non-whites.
We just can't live without them.
As these big brass types say, preferences help the U.S.
achieve its goal of cultivating a diverse officer corps, which they said accrues benefits both within the ranks and in overseas operations.
Prohibiting race-conscious admissions would threaten to undermine national security, the group argued in an amicus brief signed by 35 top military leaders, including the highest-ranking officers under former Presidents Trump, Obama, George W. Bush, and William Clinton.
They all agree.
They all agree.
National security requires race preferences for BIPOCs.
Now, listen to this.
History has shown that placing a diverse armed forces under the command of homogeneous leadership is a recipe for internal resentment, discord, and violence.
So, basically, white generals need not apply?
White generals, certainly not for the foreseeable future.
If you've got all white generals and a mixed force, oh boy, oh boy, all hell could break loose.
Wait, wait, wait.
Diversity's greatest strength, but...
Wait, I don't understand.
Well, no, the theory seems to be if you've got a diverse, if you've got other than whites in the ranks, if your command is all white, then you get resentment, discord, and violence.
Now, I don't know where they're getting that from history, maybe from the Vietnam War.
In Vietnam, you had all of these terrible, but they were drafting these ghetto thugs who were fragging their officers.
Absolutely terrible.
Well, if I may ask real quick, Yes.
Yes.
Deviate.
Korea was the first war after Truman desegregated the military, and I believe, what was that,
46, 47?
He issued that order in 48, I can't remember.
So after, okay, wow.
Okay.
Yes.
But in any case, the history says if you've got diverse grunts and all white officers,
oh boy, you're in trouble.
Now, I'd like to know what history they're citing.
Of course, if that's true, it means that people wish to serve under people like themselves.
It's an argument against diversity.
Now, by contrast, units that are diverse across all levels are more cohesive, collaborative, and effective.
And historically, listen to this, diverse and inclusive armies outperformed their more exclusionary rivals in the battlefield, says Jason Lyle, a professor of government at Dartmouth and author of the book Divided Armies, Inequality and Battlefield Performance in Modern War.
Now, I thought, what the heck is this?
History tells us that a racially uniform group is going to be outfought by a diverse group?
I don't think so.
And as it turns out, his book, Divided Armies, Inequality and Battlefield Performance, really looks into non-white places.
In the Middle East, for example, if you have an all-Sunni command force, and then you've got Shia Islam, Shia Muslims who are on the field, that is the kind of divided armies they're talking about.
But the idea somehow that the all-white forces that fought for the Confederacy and for the Union hit the beaches of Guadalcanal, that they would be outfought by some diverse group, pooey and fooey.
But that is the implication of what this guy is saying.
Utter nonsense.
But this guy says, Diverse forces typically record better casualty rates as well as lower desertion and defection even when outnumbered.
Because of their problem-solving skills, they're capable of more complex battlefield maneuvers and so are more lethal and resilient than less inclusive enemies.
Again, He is talking not about the United States.
No, not at all.
I looked up this guy's book.
He's talking about some mixed force of, I don't know, Indians and Paki's or something like that.
Well, it's complete, I mean, to imply that somehow an all-white army would be completely outfought by one that's mixed with whites and Hispanics and Asians.
This is just such a nonsense.
We also know U.S.
Special Forces are almost entirely white, and there's a push to do everything they can to try and make them more inclusive.
Yeah, including women!
Including by lowering standards and also trying to find more, you know, I believe the Marines, I believe that the officer corps is overwhelmingly white.
I mean, this is just the insanity, the post-George Floyd insanity.
That we saw when General Milley, I believe, said in Congress, he wanted to learn about white anger and white resentment, and he wanted to read some of these critical race theory books, if you recall.
Right, right.
Well, I guess he read them.
I guess he believes them.
In any case, this is just such insanity.
I'm sure the Chinese and the Russians and everybody else are looking at us, holding their signs and laughing.
But now moving on to Nicole Linton, who has been in the news for unfortunate reasons.
A 37-year-old traveling ICU nurse.
She killed six people in a very dramatic, fiery crash in Los Angeles on Thursday, caught on very clear video.
Have you seen the video?
I have seen the video.
It's frightening.
She slams her Mercedes at 90 miles per hour or more right through a red light in a busy intersection.
Kaboom!
Bam!
Kills six people, injures eight others.
She walks away.
She walks away.
I saw a picture of her.
She had a little bit of blood on her forearm.
Otherwise, looked just fine.
Well, as I say, she's a traveling nurse, but she was in court just a couple of days ago.
Her lawyer said she had a profound history of mental health problems.
Though we haven't gone into detail about that.
And just on Monday, she was sobbing in court as she was charged with six counts of murder.
Prosecutors also revealed in court that Ms.
Linton, one of our African-Americaness fellow citizens, was involved in 13 prior accidents.
Including one in 2020 in which two vehicles were totaled.
Wow.
But I guess since you didn't kill anybody... She gets to keep her license.
She's not the aggressor.
I guess.
Maybe, you know, affirmative action in the court.
Who knows?
A friend reportedly said that she'd just had a fight with her boyfriend on the phone and was distracted while she was driving.
Well, okay, the poor dear.
But, you know, this reminds me of the power of video.
This, I'm sure, this got the kind of attention it did, really worldwide attention, because this is really dramatic video.
Cars ordinarily, when they come together and go kabang, they don't burst into flames.
But as you saw, this lady goes flashing through this busy intersection, runs a red light, everything blows up in flames.
Boy, is it a real, a very eye-catching video.
Reminds me of, reminds me of George Floyd.
If it hadn't been for that video, you know, who knows what would have happened.
Video has a huge power to make something more than it actually is.
Well, the same thing with Ahmaud Arbery.
Oh yes, yes.
Video makes all the difference.
But, Mr. Kurz, you have an important article from the absolutely irreplaceable Heather MacDonald, as I always call her one of our national treasures.
You know, City Journal is a quarterly that I would recommend all of our listeners subscribe to because they publish fantastic journalism like the aforementioned piece, The Corruption of Medicine, Guardians of the Profession Discard Merit in Order to Alter the Demographics of Their Field.
And one wonders whether or not this nurse who killed six and injured eight might not have been a beneficiary.
No, I mean, again, we live in a brave new Floydian world and this is the piece.
Did you say Floydian?
Floydian world.
Floydian, okay.
Was that a Floydian slip?
No, no, no.
It's a brave new Floydian world.
We are influenced every day by what happened on, uh, May 26, 2020.
I don't remember the date.
I think it's May 25th.
May 25th?
I think so.
Was it Memorial Day?
I can't remember if it was Memorial Day or not.
But anyways, the riots started that whole week.
Everything's been different since.
Yeah, everything's been different, including, as we said, the corruption of medicine.
So, the post-George Floyd racial reckoning has hit the field of medicine like an earthquake.
Medical education, medical research, and standards of competence have been upended by two related hypotheses.
That systemic racism is responsible for both racial disparities in the demographics of the medical profession and for racial disparities in health outcomes.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Questioning those hypotheses is professionally suicidal.
Vast sums of public and private research funding are being redirected from basic science to political projects aimed at dismantling white supremacy.
The result will be declining quality of medical care and a curtailment of scientific progress.
Virtually every major medical organization, from the American Medical Association, the AMA, and the American Association of Medical Colleges, the AAMC, to the American Association of Pediatrics, they've embraced the idea that medicine is an inequity-producing enterprise.
That's right.
They're just all out there every day, every moment of their lives, producing inequity as they try to patch you up.
Exactly.
The AMA's 2021 Organizational Strategic Plan to Embed Racial Justice and Advance Health Equity.
There's a mouthful.
is virtually indistinguishable from a Black-studied department mission statement.
The plan's anonymous authors seem aware of how radically its rhetoric differs from
medicine's traditional concerns. The preamble notes that, quote,
just as the general parlance of a business document varies from that of a physics document,
so too is the case for an equity document. Thus forewarned, the reader plunges into a
thicket of 86-page social justice maxims.
Physicians must confront inequities and dismantle white supremacy, racism, and other forms of exclusion and structured oppression, as well as embed racial justice and advance equity within and across all health systems, end quote.
Does that mean just since there are health disparities, racial disparities in health outcomes, does that mean just killing a few white people just to... That could even things up.
Yeah?
Yeah, sure sounds like it does.
The country needs to, quote, pivot from euphemisms to explicit conversations about power, racism, gender, and class oppression, forms of discrimination, and inclusion.
A key solution to this alleged oppression is identity-based preferences throughout the medical profession.
Ladies and gentlemen, the AMA strategic plan calls for the, quote, just representation of Black, Indigenous, and Latinx people in medical school admissions as well as Just like our military leadership ranks.
The lack of just representation, according to the AMA, is due to deliberate exclusion.
Never mind having to pass your board.
Actually do well in school when you're in residency.
And how come, you know, I always ask, how come these vicious white supremacists seem to give Asians a pass?
You know, it's remarkable.
Yep.
It's just latinx, latinx and blacks apparently.
Oh, and indigenous.
Indigenous.
Yes.
So, um, I mean, this is one of those stories you have to basically say, so, um, where do you go from here?
Uh, you don't go to the doctor from there.
Yeah.
Which will, okay.
So the lack of just representation is due to deliberate exclusion, which will only end when we have prioritized and integrated the voices and ideas of people in communities experiencing great injustice.
And historically excluded, exploited, and deprived of needed resources such as people of color, women, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, and those in rural and urban communities alike.
People with disabilities and LGBTQ+.
Correct.
They're missing a couple letters there, Mr. Taylor.
So they're not being inclusive enough there with their word salad.
According to medical and STEM leaders, to be white is to be per se racist.
Apologies and reparations for that offer and trade are now mandatory.
In June 2020, Nature identified itself as one of the culpable, I'm sorry,
one of the culpably, quote, white institutions that is responsible for bias in research and scholarship.
That's Nature Magazine, right?
Very prestigious journal.
In 2021 of January, the editor-in-chief of Health Affairs lamented that, quote, our own staff and leadership are overwhelmingly white, end quote.
I mean, think about just the sheer Cuckery?
Is that the only word that you can use?
You look around and you're like, wow, we're at the forefront of medical research and discovery.
We're trying to cure all these once incurable diseases.
And then you're like, wait a second, we're just too white.
I go back to that just galling headline in 2020, in January, when CNN attacked Trump's COVID response team as being too white.
You're looking at that and you're like, okay, we're trying to save lives, but at the end of the day, if there's a disparity in racial representation, it doesn't matter how many lives are saved, it matters how many non-whites participated in the saving of lives.
No, I call white people who behave this way, they just have a kind of lick-spittle self-loathing that just disgusts me.
I'll give you two more paragraphs, because this is a must read.
I cannot reiterate, ladies and gentlemen, Go to your Google machine, The Corruption of Medicine by Heather MacDonald and the latest quarterly publication of City Journal.
So we go on to get this from Miss MacDonald.
And so medical schools and medical societies are discarding traditional standards of merit in order to alter the demographic characteristics of their profession.
That demolition of standards rests on a a priori truth.
That there is no academic skills gap between whites and Asians on the one hand and blacks and Hispanics on the other.
No proof is needed for this proposition.
It is the starting point for any discussion of racial disparities in medical personnel.
Therefore, any test or evaluation on which blacks and Hispanics score worse than whites and Asians is bias and should be eliminated.
The US Medical Licensing Exam is a prime offender.
At the end of their second year, of medical school students take Step 1 of the USMLE, which measures knowledge of the body's anatomical parts, their functioning, and their malfunctioning.
Topics include biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, pharmacology, and the cardiovascular system.
High scores on Step 1 predict success in a residency.
Highly sought-after residency programs such as neurosurgery and radiology Use Step 1 scores to help select applicants.
Black students are not admitted into competitive residencies at the same rates as whites because their average Step 1 test scores are a standard deviation A standard deviation below those of whites.
Just like their IQs.
Step one has already been modified to try to shrink that gap.
It now includes non-science components such as communication and interpersonal skills.
But the standard deviation in scores has persisted.
In the world of anti-racism, that persistence means only one thing.
The test is to blame.
That's right.
It is step one that, in the language of anti-racism, Disadvantages underrepresented minorities, not any lesser degree, not any lesser degree of medical knowledge.
Now that puts a bow on that story.
If you recall a couple of weeks ago, maybe about a month ago, we did a story about, we talked about a story about why do so many blacks not get through their residency?
They have a higher, they have a higher degree of failure and it's very, very high.
And again, you have to, like the step one shows, you have to show merit, you have to show competency.
But that, in the eyes of the Floydian world... It's going to get to the point where you can't wash them out, no matter what.
Especially if they are black women.
Cannot wash them out, no matter how incompetent.
And what's going to happen?
It means that nobody's going to go to a black doctor or a Hispanic doctor, no matter how competent.
At least if he's been in medical... Well, it's just outrageous.
It'll make you suspicious of any lady doctor for that matter.
Correct.
Now, one of the best doctors I had, by the way, was a woman.
But she was about my age.
She got into medical school back when there wasn't any of this kind of stuff.
A very capable doctor.
But boy, I would be suspicious of a young woman doctor.
I sure would.
In any case, moving on to better news.
This is legislation that Governor Ron DeSantis plans to introduce in Florida.
This bill will be formally put before the 2023 legislative session, and it would prohibit banks, credit card companies, and money transmitters from discriminating against customers for their religious, political, or social beliefs.
That's a fantastic bill.
It would be absolutely wonderful.
And this article cites the conservative group Moms for Liberty that says PayPal froze its assets.
Well, boy, that list could be very, very long.
It's massive, actually.
It's a huge, huge list.
Of course, PayPal, we were one of the first victims of PayPal.
PayPal decided our money was not green.
What year was this?
Oh, I can't even remember.
It could have been, yeah, probably 2016.
We've been on their no-deal list for quite some time.
Now, unfortunately, the detailed legislative language in the DeSantis proposal has not yet been released.
I'd like to just take a look at it and see what's included, but As his office explains, these institutions should not be allowed to use their economic power to make an end run around the First Amendment and democratic institutions by discriminating against businesses and individuals based on non-financial considerations.
Correct.
No truer words said within the last 10 minutes.
Now, I have a question, though.
Would this work only for Florida residents?
And the other question might be, would it survive Supreme Court challenge?
The Supreme Court has never ruled that you do not have the right to discriminate based on political belief.
Political belief is not one of those protected classes.
So, we will see, but it's a great first start.
Now, this is a story that got a certain amount of attention having to do with Kale Gundy.
I'm sure you, being an avid follower of sports, know who Kale Gundy was.
He was a fixture on the Oklahoma football team sideline, longest tenured football coach in the Big 12.
Well, he writes in A Little Message to the World, during a film session, I guess they go over video sessions, I instructed my players to take notes.
I noticed the player was distracted.
He wasn't paying attention, in other words.
I picked up his iPad and read aloud the words that were written on the screen.
The words displayed had nothing to do with football.
One particular word that I should never, under any circumstances, have uttered was displayed on that screen.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, in the moment, I did not even realize what I was reading, and as soon as I did, I was horrified!
I'm guessing that this was THE notorious career-killing N-Word.
I want to be very clear.
The words I read aloud from that screen were not my words.
What I said was not malicious.
It wasn't even intentional.
Still, I'm mature enough to know that the word I said was shameful and hurtful, no matter my intentions.
Someone in my position can cause harm without even meaning to.
So, a man of character accepts accountability.
I take responsibility for this mistake.
I apologize.
He didn't just apologize.
He resigned.
And Sooners head coach, I guess that's what the Oklahoma team are called, Sooners.
Brent Venables said, it's with sadness that I accept Coach Gundy's resignation.
He dedicated more than half his life to Oklahoma football and has served our program and university well.
He goes on to say, we're thankful for that commitment.
We also acknowledge that in stepping aside, he's placed the program and the welfare of our student athletes first.
So, and Gundy goes on to say, I leave these sidelines.
Heavy-hearted coaching this football team truly has been my life passion.
Now, an offensive analyst by the name of LaDamian Washington, no extra guesses on what his skin color is likely to be, will replace Mr. Gundy.
Now, there is a little bit more to this story, apparently.
The head coach, Venable, came out with a different statement just yesterday.
And it says that he chose to read aloud to his players not once, but multiple times a racially charged word that is objectionable to everyone.
It does not reflect the attitudes and values of our university and our football program, or goodness, truth and beauty, or the history of the United States, or everything that is wonderful and holy.
And this is not acceptable, he says.
So, who knows?
It sounds as though there's a little bit more murk to this problem than not.
But my guess, my guess is the guy who was not paying attention was probably one of our African-American fellow citizens, and it was the N-word on the screen.
If it had been a white guy, of course, he'd be out on his ear in standard.
Just like the coach.
The player, of course.
The player, yes.
So the player had to have been black.
No, not only that, but if you know much about college athletics and these big programs like the Oklahoma Sooners, where Brent Bittles came from, Clemson, I'm sure it is Not shocking to hear that word constantly be thrown around by the college athletes just calling each other that word over and over again.
I'm sure there's some black coaches who will jokingly say that.
I actually have a question for you.
How much longer can Oklahoma go by that nickname, the Sooners?
Isn't that a nickname that denotes The individuals who did the Oklahoma Territory, the Oklahoma Land Rush, they call them suitors because they showed up before.
Is that what that comes from?
So they displaced the native indigenous population.
So you would think that how can you still have this nickname that celebrates the coming of white people early?
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
And you know, I didn't realize that was the origin.
Yeah.
And, you know, Tennessee is the volunteer state.
I know that.
Now, do you know what they were volunteering for?
Indian removal.
That happened mostly in North Carolina.
But I thought, I suspected it might have to do with volunteering to fight for the Confederacy.
But no, it had to do with volunteering to fight for the War of 1812.
Now, they were, many of them fought for the Confederacy, of course.
But I thought to myself, if it had anything to do for volunteering to fight in the Army of Northern Virginia, that would be gone.
But apparently they're probably saved for now.
They can be volunteers.
We don't have the story because it was behind a paywall, but I'm sure you're well aware that the Massachusetts state flag is going to be changed because there's a sword hanging over an Indian.
And there's been a major push over the years, and if you really want to see something fascinating, especially to our international audience, look at the flags of the various states of the United States, and you will see a celebration of whiteness for most of these states.
They celebrate America's white heritage, because guess what?
All these states were largely, at one point, majority, if not significantly white, and you'll be astonished to see how white these flags are.
Well, while we're at it then, we can move up our New Zealand story, give it a head of the queue here.
Do it!
Because, as you probably know, as the people of New Zealand confront their nation's troubled past with colonization and denying Maori rights, a name change for the island is being considered as part of its reckoning.
They're having a reckoning too.
Good old George Floyd.
He is getting a reckoning all around the white world.
The Maoris are insisting on this, of course.
So, a petition to change the name of New Zealand to its indigenous Maori designation of Aotearoa.
Now, there's a mouthful for you.
Not even sure that even means.
Yep.
Well, I do know what it means because I looked it up.
Apparently, it means the long white cloud.
And so that's sort of a poetic representation of the New Zealand archipelago, you see.
But this petition, to rename it Aotearoa, has collected more than 70,000 signatures, which will prompt a parliamentary committee to consider the idea.
Now, we'll see what happens.
Now, how did New Zealand get its name?
It is a rather oddball name when you think about it.
Agreed.
It was discovered in 1647 by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman.
And he called the land New Zeeland.
Zeeland was a province in the Netherlands, his home country.
And Zeeland actually translates to sea land.
So this sort of island, it's not a bad name for this newly discovered island.
But this guy Tasman, he is the one who named Tasmania.
Yeah.
He really got around.
And the Tasman Strait that lies between Tasmania and Australia, all discovered and named by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman.
Now, while we're at it, you know, there's a movement to change all the major city names to Maori names.
And guess what the name for Christchurch is?
Islamabad.
Hey, hey, we're talking Maori talk here, not muzzy talk.
We know what happened there, so it's alright.
Yes.
Otahutahi.
Otahutahi.
That would be Christchurch.
And the name for Auckland?
Tamaki Makaurau.
What percentage of New Zealand is Maori?
I don't know.
It's not such a huge percentage.
My guess is maybe 10%, 12%, 15%.
But that's just a guess.
But they got there first, and so they get to make the rules, they think.
I mean, there's some sort of precedent for that sort of thinking.
But back to the United States.
16.5%.
16.5%.
Okay.
Now, the real question is, what percentage of it is Asian now?
Asians have been roaring in at a great rate.
And I don't think they're going to be happy about trying to turn their tongues around these nine-jointed names any more than white people are, but they'll do what they're told, I'm sure.
But in Massachusetts, the U.S.
attorney in charge of the federal prosecutor's office, Rachel S. Rollins, And yes, she is an African-Americanist.
She announced the rollout of an End Hate Now telephone hotline.
You can talk to the federal prosecutor's office on a hotline.
You call the hotline to report concerning or troubling incidents of hate, potential hate crimes, or concerns regarding individuals believed to be espousing hate-filled views.
Wow.
Now, the press release does say that under federal law, investigations may not be based solely on an individual's beliefs or protected First Amendment activity.
However, you're supposed to write to tell them about concerns regarding individuals believed to be espousing hate-filled views.
Oh.
And I'm asking people, when you see hate, call this number.
If you have serious concerns about a loved one, a friend, or even an acquaintance, call this number and let us know, she says.
Protecting Massachusetts residents from violence and hate And hate, not just violence, is a top priority of my administration, she said.
So, yeah, well, you know, you put black people in charge of this kind of thing, and what we used to think were absolutely ironclad constitutional guarantees will suddenly be found to be paper tigers, as the Chinese used to say.
Now, I believe you have a story about illegal immigrants who had gotten a free one-way ticket to the Juicy Big Apple deciding to skip off the bus before they got there.
I do, but I do want to go back to the story you asked New Zealand.
Yes, what's the Asian population?
72% white, 16% Maori, 15% Asian.
Okay, so the Asians are catching up with the Maoris.
They're catching up.
You're definitely catching up.
Probably not too many Latinx down there.
No, it's a very small, it's only about 3.5 million people.
Yeah.
So it's a very, very, you know, it's anyways.
It used to be one of those, it used to have a white New Zealand policy.
Like Australia.
Like Australia.
Australia had a white Australia policy.
Now, I could do with a white New Zealand policy, but be that as it may, my white policy, wherever it were.
In any case, do tell us about these illegals.
Yeah, this is a post-millennial story.
I thought it was kind of funny.
Eric Adams, New York City, two crime-ridden free little immigrants.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams arrived early Sunday morning at Midtown's Port Authority bus terminal to greet a busload of illegal immigrants arriving in the Big Apple, only to discover many of the migrants had absconded for fear of the city's historic crime rate.
According to the New York Post, Adams said, quote, we were led to believe about 40 people should have been on that bus.
Only 14 got off.
And suggested that the migrants got off the bus earlier than the final destination because of fear that something was going to happen to them if they came to this location.
We're concerned about that because we don't want people being dropped off just anywhere.
On Friday, a busload of about 50 illegal immigrants sent by Texas Governor George Abbott made it to New York City.
The Lone Star state leader had promised to relocate the masses of migrants flooding into Texas to blue states whose leadership support open borders or they have open sanctuaries or sanctuary cities.
This is a great thing.
I think, uh, you know, uh, if we have to deal with them or if the, if the country is going to accept them, you deal with them on your territory, on your dime, not us.
Well, we saw, we saw Washington DC, the black mayor wanted to call it the national guard to try and help out.
And they said, no, that's not our problem.
And you know, and actually Eric Adams last week, he wasn't this accommodating.
He actually was saying, we can't have these people flood into our system.
They're overwhelming our systems, our homeless shelters are.
Yeah, they're straining our resources.
Oh my goodness, yeah, Texas can handle it.
Yeah, it's wonderful.
Texas, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia.
These formerly red, these red turning purple states now because of demographic change.
But now his feelings are hurt because they've spurned his city because they think it's too crime-ridden.
Too crime-ridden even for El Salvadorans.
In 2022 fiscal year, which runs from October through September, 1.7 million people have been encountered by U.S.
Customs and Border Patrol agents along the southern border.
That's from CB Prior to Abbott shipping migrants to New York, the Biden administration had been quietly busing migrants into port authority as well.
be reported in the year.
So we're going to be well over 2 million.
Prior to Abbott shipping migrants to New York, the Biden administration had been quietly
busing migrants into Port Authority as well.
Adams soon said that the city could not handle the influx without federal help.
He asked Biden to send, quote, additional resources immediately to help with the rapidly
growing shelter population and new clients who are seeking asylum.
Of course, our federal government's busy sending another $5 billion to Ukraine for the proxy war with Russia to keep to ensure that that Insane conflict won't have a stalemate.
Well hey, as the head of MI5, the chief of foreign intelligence of the United Kingdom, said we got to support Ukraine because they're fighting for gay rights.
Do you remember that statement?
I'm well aware of that statement.
And this guy's supposed to be running an intelligence or anything.
Well, that is what the intelligence apparatus of the West stands for.
We know that.
Again, it's just like the generals who all sided with affirmative action.
They know what is going to keep them in that position of power.
But these are retired generals.
These are retired generals.
They're on the board of Boeing and Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.
Come on.
Boy, all those companies gotta have diverse incompetence.
Boy, oh boy.
Yes.
Texas Governor Abbott had said New York City is an ideal destination for border crosses, as New York City is a right-to-shelter city where the homeless, regardless of citizenship, must be housed if they report to the right place within 24 hours.
He has been shipping migrants to Washington, D.C., aforementioned, where Mayor Muriel Bowser tried to enlist the National Guard for help in dealing with the influx.
I wonder what she thought they were going to do?
Pitch tents on the mall for these people?
Feed them meals ready to eat?
Ever since the George Floyd stuff, DC is unrecognizable.
It is astonishing the amount of homeless you see with tents, etc.
According to the Post, Adams complained about the lack of communication from Abbott about the bus shipping schedule and said, They're not letting us know when the buses are leaving.
They're not letting us know what are the needs of the people on the bus.
They're not giving us any information, so we're unable to really provide the service to people en route.
Why should it make a difference?
Yeah.
Come on.
You're an accommodating city.
Mr. Accommodation himself.
And then, of course, he finished with this.
Mayor Adams, I'm proud that this is a right-to-shelter state, and we are going to continue to do that.
It's a right-to-shelter city or state?
He says state.
State?
I didn't know that.
Maybe he misspoke.
Well, look, let's face it.
It's a right-to-shelter nation!
It is.
Come one, come all.
It's one flop house for the world.
Well, now we're going to play one of our favorite games, and that is Guess the Race.
Now, this is a little unfair here.
Jeremy Ryzhonkov is a young entrepreneur.
He just turned 12.
He lives in Everett, Washington.
And he already has a vending machine business, lawn mowing business, and has a snack stand.
Nice!
Age 12.
I think there's nothing in the world that's free, said Jeremy.
Certainly not if you're a young white man.
Well, he was in his usual spot on Beverly Boulevard in Everett.
I didn't realize it had a Beverly Boulevard.
It sounds almost Southern California, doesn't it?
He was selling lemonade and snacks and he said two men bought 20 bucks worth of drinks and food and asked if he could break a $100 bill.
Well, he scraped together all the change he had, and he's quite the entrepreneur to be able to make change for a $100 bill, and he gave it all to them.
And after they left, he noticed the money looked weird.
He ran over to a nearby gas station, and he says, I asked, is this real or fake?
They said, this is fake.
This is fake.
So, yes, two of our Everett citizens passed a phony $100 bill on this 12-year-old guy.
He says, I was very exhausted from working all day on a sunny day and felt very sad and disappointed, says Jeremy.
Now, as a hint, Everett is in Washington State.
Blacks only 5% of the population.
This little incident was caught on video, so we know the races of those involved.
What races were the perps?
There were two of them, okay?
Well, give up, give up, give up?
I give up.
Well, they were, they made me worry.
They were among the 5%.
Oh, okay.
They were among the 5%.
Now here's another guess the race, guess the race quiz.
This one comes from Jormans.
The audio of a 9-1-1 call was just ferreted out by one of these on-our-side kind of watchdog groups.
And it's a witness who says she saw a man raping an unconscious woman in plain view on a street corner in New Orleans.
Jeez.
Yes, jeez.
At one point, raping an unconscious woman.
At one point, she sees a police officer a block away, and the dispatcher tells her to flag the officer down.
The audio captures the woman, and she's describing the rape to the officer, pleading with him to respond.
Minutes go by, the woman can be heard growing frantic, and she says, I should probably effing walk up there like this poor girl.
I mean, I'm going to get up there faster than this effing cop is, she says to the dispatcher.
This police officer hasn't even moved.
He's just parked there.
Look at, like, what the F are you even doing?
She's shouting at the officer.
The woman then spots another police car driving by without stopping.
And the caller said she returned to the corner and found the perp gone and the victim was without a pulse.
So she's still on the phone with 911.
He's effing gone!
This effing cop is still a block away and this girl got raped right on the street corner.
Well, apparently the caller was a respiratory therapist and started CPR and helped the victim regain consciousness.
Oh my gosh!
Yes!
I'm surprised they didn't try and say she was a suspect, though, in any of this.
She was at the scene of a crime.
She apparently saved this person's life.
NOPD New Orleans Police Department spokesman Gary Sheets declined to name the officer whom the witness begged for help.
He told the press that the incident is under investigation and he would not say if the police department believed the officer who did not respond had violated department policy.
He ain't saying.
So, guess the perps, guess the race, guess the lady, the therapist.
Oh my god, it's New Orleans so it's automatically, it's 60% black city.
I'm afraid so.
Probably now the victim, the victim, the unconscious victim.
Hard to tell.
My guess, probably, likewise, black.
My guess is this respiratory therapist is probably white.
That sounds like kind of a white profession to me.
But you never know.
Now, as for the officer in the car, that'll be interesting if this ever comes up.
See, we don't know the answers here.
We don't.
All we can do is speculate.
Speculation based on data.
No, and with the My God, has it been 17 years since Hurricane Katrina?
The anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is coming up.
That was 1995, wasn't it?
2005.
You have to wonder how many stories like this happened during those dark, dark days when all hell broke loose and whatever happened at the Convention Center and then what happened at the Superdome.
That's considered one of my classic articles, I add modestly.
Africa in our midst.
Indeed.
Well now, here's a story from Los Angeles.
There's something called the 6th Street Viaduct.
It's Los Angeles' newest bridge.
It opened just last month, but it's now closed.
Brand new bridge, closed.
Due to a near constant stream of illegal activity.
Now, this illegal activity takes the form of drivers taking over the bridge, doing donuts and drag racing.
It cost $588 million.
It's a half a billion dollar bridge.
Street racing and auto side shows have plagued the bridge since its opening day.
The LAPD has shut the bridge down many times in an effort to curb these events to no avail.
But now they're going to put speed bumps on.
Speed bumps?
Oh my goodness.
Yes, on a bridge.
And at the same time, they're going to put in a median so that you can't do donuts.
They're going to make it much more difficult for anybody else involved.
And police chief says we can't arrest our way out of the situation.
Despite hundreds of impounds and citations and arrests.
Hundreds?
I mean, this is really hard to believe.
They've impounded hundreds of cars?
Here's the question.
Guess the race.
Is it Hispanic or Black?
I'd go Hispanic, probably.
I give up on this one.
It's probably a diverse crowd.
A diverse crowd.
And, you know, I saw photographs.
There's quite a spiffy bridge.
Sort of modern design and sleek looking thing, but also one thing they have there are arches.
There are arches that hold it up and apparently people shinny up the arches and they can get about 50-60 feet in the air and they twerk and the like up on these arches.
Oh come on!
Yes they do!
During the Fast and Furious-esque show?
Yes, yes, yes!
Unbelievable.
So, but what in the world, what kind of country can't keep people from drag racing on a bridge and shut it down and put on speed bumps?
A country where the shadow of George Floyd looms over everything.
I don't know.
I think it's that simple, Mr. Taylor.
There's something more to it than that.
Something mighty awful is going on, including in Baltimore.
Well, 63% black Baltimore.
What a city.
What a city it is.
This is from the CBS Baltimore affiliate.
No Shoot Zone activists shot in East Baltimore last Wednesday.
Fresh data from the city's Open Baltimore website shows there have been 170 homicides recorded in the first six months of this year, putting the city on pace for one of the deadliest years in Baltimore's history.
The Baltimore banner has described the first six months of 2022 as the deadliest in Baltimore's history.
A banner year.
It's beyond a banner year.
It's a black year.
And the shootings just don't stop.
The Baltimore Police Department reports that 10 shootings and 5 people killed over the past weekend alone, along with 17 confirmed robberies.
This morning, police responded to yet another shooting in southeast Baltimore.
It happened on Rose Street, but police found the 46-year-old gunshot victim around the corner on North Luzerin Street.
The victim, Is Tyrone Moorhead, a former gang member who has been on a years-long mission to stop gun violence in Baltimore.
I hate to say it, that's a multi-year operation in futility.
And a dangerous one, too.
Very wise, we found out, yeah.
He initially went to a local hospital to receive treatment for his injuries, but later in the evening, he could be seen standing outside of his home in hospital scrubs, surrounded by police.
He had ripped off at least one of his bandages, displaying a gunshot wound to his neck.
Neighbors described him as antagonistic, sharing video footage of him brandishing an axe and sharpening it on the sidewalk.
Now, this is Mr. Peace and No Shoot.
No Shoot Zone, yeah.
Well, I guess he's going to go after him with an edged weapon, so he's taking his own advice.
Nothing to shoot.
But he's going to chop them into pieces with a hack.
Yeah, well, it's very, very, you know, horror film-esque.
Some of his No Shoot messages are incredibly detailed, others are generic.
More than 200 of his anti-violent messages have been scrawled across Baltimore.
All of them mark the place where someone was shot and killed in the hopes that the message may prevent additional violence.
Quote, see, I go straight to the shooters.
That's who my rapport is with.
My rapport is with the shooters, Morehead told WGZ back in 2019.
I can look them in the eyes and say, homie, I was shooting too.
But what I didn't have was a me back then.
End quote.
I guess.
Now I'm not a shooter.
Now I'm a slasher.
Are you ready for this?
Here we go.
Moorhead estimates that he shot about 20 people when he was between 13 and 15 years old.
20 people?
Yeah.
At 15, he said he had a shootout with police.
He served 11 years after admitting to an attempted murder.
Back in May, over 60 bullets flew down Rose Street, killing one person and injuring three others.
Moorhead was nearby when it happened.
I actually heard every shot, and when I came around here, it was still smoking, he said.
Several months later, Moorhead was shot on that same street.
Back in 2019, Moorhead was stabbed but survived, going on to spray-paint additional no-shoot zone messages throughout Baltimore City.
And as we all know, at this point, Baltimore is basically a No Western Civilization Zone.
I wonder if this Moorhead guy is a city employee or some non-profit pays him to go put these messages up.
Who knows?
I don't have the answer to that, but if you want to go ask him, you can.
He'll be sharpening his axe.
That's what I'm worried about.
We'll hear from some dispatches from New York City.
Officials at New York City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reportedly sounded a warning to colleagues this week ahead of a heat wave to hit the Big Apple Thursday and Friday.
That's just coming up.
Warning that structural racism increases the risk of heat stress for black New Yorkers.
A lot of heat islands in New York, so... But especially, I mean, somehow the white people managed to avoid them.
The memo has attributed Clinton's staff throughout the city and added that black New Yorkers are twice as likely to die from heat as white New Yorkers.
Oh no.
And adding that most who die of heatstroke did not have the use of air conditioners or were overcome by heat in their homes.
And that's all due to structural racism, I guess.
That structural racism, it is wicked, wicked stuff.
Boy, it'll get you anywhere.
Heat islands, you know, shade equity.
Somehow, somehow white people walk under the trees and black people don't, I guess.
It's all structural racism.
Now, there's also another dispatch from New York City.
You will probably remember this incident, but a fellow who looks the way his name sounds, he is a Mr. Abroqua, Frank Abroqua.
In February, he approached a 43-year-old woman who was sitting on a bench inside a Bronx subway station, and he asked her for a date.
His exact words are not known.
Well, it's a bold move.
Yes, but she spurned his advances.
So what did he do?
He walks down the platform and defecates in a bag.
And he walks back to her and smeared his own feces on her face and back and beat her for a while.
And then he walked away.
All caught on video, mind you.
Well, Abroquois was charged with assault.
I mean, she did write to turn him down for a date, I would think, but I guess she didn't realize she was gonna get this kind of, well, I won't use the usual word.
He was charged with reckless endangerment, menacing disorderly conduct, and harassment.
But not for creating an unsanitary condition.
Oh, okay.
That's a kind of a catch-all.
However, he's released without bail because this was said to be a non-violent offense.
You smear feces in a woman's face, that's a non-violent offense.
In some cultures, that's a move of endearment.
Oh, is that a courting gesture?
I've read that.
Have you really?
No, I've not.
Well, maybe.
I don't know.
You never know from what place our book was from.
Well, Norway, right?
Maybe that's how you get a date.
In any case, he was being held on Rikers Island for an unrelated incident.
Okay.
Unspecified.
This must have been worse than smearing feces on the face of a woman who shoots you down.
Well, and then guess what happened to him?
Another inmate attacked him, having heard of his earlier crime, and scalded his face with boiling water.
And he is expected to have permanent facial scarring.
These are the sordid times in which we live, Mr. Kersey.
Good God.
Now, one last dispatch from New York City.
2,465 police officers have filed to leave the department this year.
2,465.
42% more than the 1,738 who buggered off the same time last year.
year. 2,465. 42% more than the 1,738 who buggered off the same time last year. The number of
cops hanging up their holsters early, and that's before reaching 20 years of full retirement.
I mean, that's a real sacrifice.
If you can tough it out for 20 years, you get a nice pension, but the number that are going out before full retirement has jumped 71% from 641 last year to 1,098.
They can't stand it.
We've seen the same thing in Chicago.
last year to 1098. They can't stand it.
We've seen the same thing in Chicago.
Oh, all around.
NYPD Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch says this
exodus is a result of cops in the prime of their careers deciding they have had enough.
Bye bye.
He says officers usually work 20 years to collect their full pension which can equate to 50% of their final three years average salary.
Probably not a bad deal.
The rank-and-file have endured anti-cop hostility, bail reform, Frank Aboukoua, And the city's vaccination mandate, and they are saying nada mas.
A certain Dave, who asked that his last name not be used, a 30-year-old Queens cop, when he quit this summer to take a private sector job after only seven years on the job, he said he was fed up with the oppressive work environment.
You know, I think all New York City white police officers ought to quit en masse and then look for private security jobs.
I think all of a sudden there'd be a huge demand for private security jobs.
We've seen that in Minneapolis.
Yes.
We've seen the wealthiest communities in Minneapolis.
They've been hiring their own private security to maintain law and order.
This is the way things work in Brazil, you know, and these other third world countries, the like of which, into which we are turning.
Have you seen the videos?
We haven't talked about this yet, but I do have to bring it up just because it's so fascinating.
In Brazil, they've legalized the killing of people on the motorcycles.
I saw the videos.
I'm not sure that that's true.
That's pretty gruesome.
Not good for your cars either, you know, running down, running over people on motorcycles.
In any case, we have a little crime story here.
I hope we can fit it in.
If we can't, well, we'll just go over.
Portland, Oregon.
The police have confronted a spike in killing and more than 100 officer vacancies.
Wow.
Just like New York.
From Philadelphia to Portland to Los Angeles, killings and gun violence are rising.
At the same time, officers are worn out.
Disillusioned over calls to divest from policing following George Floyd's murder are quitting and retiring faster than they can be replaced all over the country.
Many cities have shifted veteran officers to patrol, breaking up specialized teams built over decades just to keep up with 911 calls.
Los Angeles, which is down more than 650 officers from pre-pandemic staffing levels, ended its animal cruelty unit.
No more animal cruelty unit.
So in Los Angeles, you can torture dogs to death all you like.
Downsized its human trafficking, narcotics, and gun squads, and cut down homeless teams by 80 percent.
So more tents, more public drug taking, Seattle recently announced $2 million in hiring bonuses and benefits to lure recruits amid a critical officer shortage.
For me, I wonder what the profession is going to be like 20 years from now for having these challenges on a nationwide scale, says Portland Police Chief, whose force lost 237 sworn officers since 2020.
And Portland logged a record 89 homicides, roughly three times its historical average.
It's horrible.
Yes.
This, of course, is a national trend.
The murder rate in the whole country was up 30% in 2020, a record jump.
In Portland, gun violence, once largely limited to historically marginalized neighborhoods, has spread to the downtown core and more affluent areas.
Now, what does that mean, Mr. Kerr?
Does that mean rich white businessmen are shooting each other?
Oh, it does not.
No, I don't think it does.
I think people in marginalized areas are heading downtown.
Portland's police chief broke up specialized units And this means they've stopped investigations into 300 unsolved murders because they just don't gab the staff for it.
This is interesting.
On a recent night, a police sergeant spotted a car with no plates driving erratically.
The driver seemed high, probably on meth, and the passenger was almost comatose with bloody track marks on his arm.
The driver had a suspended license, The vehicle wasn't stolen, and no one had an outstanding warrant.
So, the police officer just warned the guy, says leave the car, find a ride home, then went off to his next call.
Because he didn't have the time to do the paperwork.
Now this is a broken window split.
You let this kind of thing happen, worse is going to happen.
Right.
We are able to investigate only murders, child abuse, and sex crimes.
He says we are triaging.
In Philadelphia, where the department's down 550 officers and another 860 are on medical leave or restricted duty, whatever that is, City Councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez... Probably not vaxxed.
Excuse me?
Probably not vaxxed.
Oh, that's probably it.
There are more than 30,000 complaints about abandoned cars awaiting police action.
They got no time for that.
One of the worst areas in her district, cars block sidewalks and make the narrower streets impassable.
All these officers have been shifted to the city center and the violent hotspots.
Now here, this is really something that's heartbreaking.
We're back to Portland here.
And a fellow named Royal Harris, he grew up in Portland's gang territory in the 1990s.
And he says his brother, his two first cousins, two second cousins, and many friends have been shot to death.
Can you imagine that?
No.
Mr. Kersey, do you know anyone who has been murdered?
No one I know has been murdered.
Do I know anyone that's been murdered?
Yeah.
I know... I knew of one person, but this is... Is that right?
Yeah.
Nobody I have ever known has been murdered.
So get to know me, and you're not likely to be murdered.
But I'll repeat this.
His brother, two first cousins, two second cousins, and many friends shot to death.
But I will say that she was murdered by a black guy, so.
Oh.
In Atlanta.
Wow.
No one I know has ever been murdered.
Well, uh, we are approaching the end.
Uh, now you said that there was a Portland gun emergency.
Maybe we'll talk about that next time.
Let's hold for that.
It's a very important story.
Okay.
Because it just shows how insane our leadership of these cities are.
Yes.
We were just talking about Portland, so that would fit in just fine.
But in the meantime, we love to hear from you, especially when we go wrong.
If we jump the tracks, or if we take a wrong turn, you let us know, and you can message me directly by going to amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, and hitting up the Contact Us tab, and I'll get the message.
