Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wherever you are, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey.
And we will begin with listener comments.
This is a regular listener who writes in to say, thank you for the work you do.
Your recent podcast spoke about the Church of England and implied that it was woke beyond repair.
Yes, that is my sentiment.
That may be the case in the UK, but my experience in the US is slightly different.
About 10 years ago, my son was baptized at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, an Episcopalian church architecturally similar to Notre Dame in Paris.
The Episcopal Church is essentially the Anglican Church in the United States.
They are famous for ordaining gays and other non-canonical practices.
My wife, an occasional Episcopalian, wanted to have our son christened at this church, and because San Francisco is like the Vatican for white guilt and self-loathing, I expected the worst.
He writes this.
What was true is all the clergy were female, with short hair and no makeup.
However, they were all white.
And they didn't preach diversity or tolerance.
In fact, the head minister who gave the sermon lamented the death of Christendom.
Really?
Of course, Christendom is how people used to refer to Europe.
Right.
Europe is Christendom.
I wonder what she meant by that.
Well, to her, this meant a collapse of law and order, good manners, the social contract, two parent homes, a work ethic, and many of the things you and Mr. Kersey discuss on your podcast.
Well, good for her.
Much may have changed at that church in the last 10 years, but I see from the internet they haven't bent over backwards to change their staff.
From the website, clergy appear to remain mostly white.
I note, however, they now have a social justice tab on their site.
I don't know how much they actually care about it or just feel obligated to put it there in the hopes that they'll be eaten last.
I like that phrase.
Eaten last.
In the hope that they'll be eaten last.
The woke monster will be satiated at that point.
Yes.
Well, no, we need to start doing the eating, dammit.
I've been to several other Episcopal churches since then, all in woke, heavily Democratic cities, and I haven't been hit over the head with cultural Marxism or other anti-white doctrines.
But that doesn't mean they aren't there.
And so this is an appeal to our well-informed listeners.
He says, I'd be interested in the opinions of others, many of whom may have been raised Episcopalian.
I write this not to defend the Episcopalians, but simply to find out what others think.
Now, I must say, I don't know much about Episcopalians, but from what I can tell, they just seem, as I say, woke beyond repair.
But, maybe repair is possible.
Maybe they're not as woke as I thought.
Anything can be repaired, I think.
Yes, well, let's hope so.
That's true.
Anything can be repaired.
Anything can be repaired.
Now, this is an interesting comment.
I am a black man from Africa, and I listen to your podcast every weekend.
Well, thank you, black man from Africa.
We appreciate that.
We appreciate that very much.
We do.
While there is a lot I disagree with you on, specifically your deterministic attitude towards black people as being beyond redemption or saving, no, we don't say that.
We just talk about average differences.
I do agree that black people need to be more responsible for their actions, as we all need to be, no matter the race.
That said, I see a lot of white people, so-called allies, who want to help black people, and this is noble and appreciated.
However, judging from their attitudes towards black people, I am concerned that there may be some assumptions these white allies hold about black people that I think will leave them, the white people, in a position of being exploited by blacks and others.
As such, I wanted to share these three questions for white allies in the hope that this will help them reflect on their naivete.
Okay.
He's got some pretty good questions here.
Let's hear it.
He says, do you believe that BIPOCs have agency to commit evil acts or are capable of making bad decisions that lead to negative outcomes?
A lot of white people seem to think, no, no, no, everything that's ever gone wrong to a black person anywhere in the world at any time in history is our fault.
That they have absolutely no free will ever so what they're just manipulated by our unconscious impure thoughts.
As you said, no agency.
No, as he said, no agency.
That's one of these newfangled terms I don't too much like, but we all know it's meant by agency.
That was question number one.
Question number two.
Do you believe that BIPOCs are capable of monetizing their historical trauma through grift, race hustling, or guilt-tripping gaslighting you into believing you are complicit in historical atrocities that happened before you were born?
Well, I sure believe that.
Now, whether the white allies do, that's a different matter.
I think a lot of what they do really is just for their own sense of virtue and nobility.
Personal gratification for helping individuals, like you said.
Well, even if they're not helping, just the things that they say.
This is one of the things you can be a number one good person simply by saying certain things.
You don't have to invite BIPOCs to dinner or have them as neighbors, but so long as you say the right things about them, you are just good as can be.
So that was, let's see, and then there is a third question.
If you said yes to either of these questions, Do you feel you have the moral courage or within your natural right to call BIPOCs out on their bullshit, i.e.
bad decisions or race hustling?
Well, you know, that seems to be reserved only to dissidents and malfactors like you and me, Mr. Kersey.
We're the only people who are really prepared to say, and I don't care to repeat our listeners' a way of expressing this, but yes, they're wrong. They're
spectacularly wrong, and it's all highly insulting to us. So thank you, Black Man from Africa, for
those interesting questions, and I wish our audience were the people to whom these questions
should be directed. Unfortunately, that's NPR. That's right.
That's right.
He should have sent this to NPR.
That's right.
Now, here's a comment from an Australian high school student.
So, you see, Radio Renaissance gets all around the world.
A global force for good.
For whiteness.
And those black allies in Africa.
In all sincerity, thank you for sending that question.
That was a very good question.
Black allies.
Black allies in Africa.
You know, a global force for good.
That was the motto of the U.S.
Navy for a while.
That was supposed to recruit people, you know, so they could come and wear duck pants and salute and grow beards all in the name of being part of a global force for good.
Boy, what a joke.
It's supposed to be out there and find and kill the enemy, but it's a global force for good.
Unfortunately, I believe in that case, you and I might be the enemy.
You will someday be the enemy.
So, our Australian high school student writes in to say this.
Recently, in a history class, my teacher was discussing the difference in black and white casualty rates in the Vietnam War and was giving the typical speech about racism, white supremacy, prejudice, blah, blah, blah.
I raised my hand and mentioned the new standards men Now, probably our listeners are not aware of who the New Standards men were, otherwise known as McNamara's morons.
McNamara, of course, was the Secretary for Defense.
Robert McNamara.
Yes, Robert McNamara.
And he had this program whereby he lowered the entrance requirements for the military.
They had an IQ requirement of, I believe, a cutoff of 85, 90, something like that.
And they said, no, no, no, we don't have to do that.
We need men.
These guys could be trained into soldiers.
And so they lowered the entrance requirement IQ standards.
And so, the high school student goes on to say, they had much higher death rates, and there was an over-representation of blacks in that program, and that contributed greatly into the difference in casualty rates.
Imagine a high school student making this point, you know.
A pretty sophisticated high school student, I would say.
But you see, he listens to Radio Renaissance.
And World War 4 witness.
Yes.
My teacher said he'd never heard of the program, and he asked me to link to something about it on our online class hub.
Well, I didn't link to the AmRan article called IQ Denial Goes to War, but I did post the text-only version, as well as a Wikipedia article on McNamara's Morons.
Well, the next day, my teacher asks to speak to me and says he has sent me an email with very serious stuff.
He was all upset.
This is intolerant and this is no good.
Can't be allowed.
Terrible, can't be allowed.
He sent me a copy of his reply.
He says, look, this is purely factual.
What is written here is purely factual.
It backs up exactly what I said.
It makes no aspersions on the inherent qualities of anybody.
Just that these were the facts.
And after the guy comes over and warns him, you know, a heavy email coming your way, he went over to an obese Somali girl in our class, who I guarantee would never have read the article anyway, and starts consoling her and offers to give her counseling with our school counselor.
A Somalian in Australia?
A Somalian in Australia.
That's what we're said to believe.
Now this guy, he calls himself an 11-year.
I suppose, I mean, I don't know how many years of high school there are.
In Canada, they have 13 years of high school.
But in any case, this guy's a high school student, but he has more ammunition than your average high school student in these intellectual areas because he reads American Renaissance, amran.com, and he listens to Radio Renaissance.
So good for you, Australian high school student.
Well, finally, moving on to Britain.
You know, after Liz Truss came in, she appointed this very multi-culti cabinet group.
No white men apply.
Seems that way.
Certainly not for the top jobs, anyway.
But the Home Secretary is won by the name of Suella Braverman.
She is an Indian of Indian origin.
And in her first major speech as Home Secretary, she thanked her predecessor, Preeti Patel, another Indian, I liked her.
Yes, Preeti Patel was pretty good.
At least she tried to get things done in the face of all sorts of entrenched difficulties.
But she thanked Preeti Patel for the foundation she had laid in toughening the immigration system.
And she committed to deporting anyone who doesn't enter the UK legally.
It'll be a lot of people.
Hats off!
Migrants crossing the channel will face a ban from claiming asylum.
To rapturous applause, she took aim at the ongoing legal challenges to the Rwanda policy.
Remember, that was the one.
Anybody who showed up or didn't belong, you can ship them off to Rwanda.
Seems like an expensive way to get rid of them.
But that was shot down by some European Court of Human Rights, some sort of Euro-level baloney.
And then she says, Braverman said that her ultimate aspiration was to reduce net migration by allowing only immigration that grows our economy and is high-skilled.
She would impose again a blanket ban on anyone deemed entering the UK illegally from seeking asylum or refugee status.
That makes sense to me.
Makes perfect sense to me.
And so far this year, more than 33,500 people have arrived in Britain after making the journey from France.
This is a small boat business.
She also said the legislation is being abused by people smugglers, people making multiple, meritless, last-minute claims, and, as she took aim at lawyers, by specialist small boat chasing law firms.
I like that.
Sink those boats.
Yes.
As for lawyers, she says, don't get me started on them.
I'm a recovering lawyer.
So, if you deliberately enter the UK illegally from a safe country, you should be swiftly returned to your home country or off to Rwanda.
Take your choice.
That is where your asylum claim will be considered, she says.
And then she goes on to say the Label Party will try to stop this, the Lib Dems will go bananas, and the Guardian will have a meltdown.
Actually, I read the Guardian article on this.
The Guardian did not quote her on that line, but the Guardian did have a meltdown.
The Guardian was just a cool puddle of molten liquid.
But as it turns out, 541 of these boat people showed up on Monday alone.
541!
And in September, 8,000 people made the crossing.
I mean, they're just flowing in, floating in.
Doing the wetback stroke, so to speak.
Now, as it turns out... Actually, the London... the channel stroke, I guess you'd call it.
Yes, yes.
Suella Braverman's father fled Kenya for Britain in 1968 and apparently met a Gowan Goa was an original Portuguese colony in India and some Goans ended up in Britain as well.
And they apparently were very serious about assimilation, doing the right thing.
Now, there is a follow-up article from the Hindu Times of India.
about Suella Braverman.
Now, they're quite interested in her because she is Indian and they're Indian, but this is how they talked about her.
Britain's Indian origin home secretary, Suella Braverman, has blamed the recent riots in Leicester.
We talked about that.
We did talk about those wonderful riots that Enoch Powell so long ago prophesized coming to Albion shores.
That's right.
This was after an India-Pakistan cricket match that happened halfway around the world.
It wasn't even local.
They were just watching it on TV.
She blamed this riot on uncontrolled migration into the UK and the failure of newcomers to integrate.
There were clashes involving many Hindu and Muslim groups.
The unexamined drive towards multiculturalism as an end in itself combined with the corrosive aspects of identity politics has led us astray, Ms.
Brackleman said.
Riots in civil order have taken place because of failures to integrate large numbers of newcomers.
Well, I wish she'd gone on to say that some of them cannot be integrated.
Such conflicts have no place in the UK, she says.
It's not racist for anyone, ethnic minority or otherwise, to want to control our borders.
It's not bigoted to say we have too many asylum seekers who are abusing the system.
It's not xenophobic to say that mass and rapid migration puts pressure on housing, services, and community relations.
And she pledged to cut crime, now this will be sort of a UK inside joke, with more PCs and less PC.
Now, do you understand what that's about?
I think I do.
Okay, referring to increasing the number of police constables.
In other words, more PCs and less PC, less political correctness.
So, she's quite a clever lady, this Suella Braverman.
Okay.
She might be clever, but it would be nice if there was actually an indigenous Brit male who could simply say, hey, we're done.
We're full.
Let's send them back.
Let's not just put in platitudes, but let's actually start deporting.
And then once we do that, people will self-deport when they understand that there are consequences.
That's right.
Well, you know, if the white men are all so bloody spineless, they can't save their civilization themselves.
I guess we have to thank these Indian ladies who are going to do it for them.
That's a sad state of affairs, but good for Swella.
Now, this is an interesting story.
Recent findings.
A genetic signature widely used to guide cancer treatments may not work for patients with African and Asian ancestry.
This finding could mean people with those backgrounds are receiving an expensive therapy that doesn't help and could even make their conditions worse.
Yes.
Sequencing tumor DNA is now part of routine cancer care.
Identifying specific mutations that can help physicians narrow down the best treatment.
This all sounds awfully sophisticated.
You know, you do DNA analysis of the cancer cells and you find what is going to kill these cells best.
And clinical trials have shown tumors have many mutations, what's known as a high tumor mutational burden, TMB, to its friends.
And they respond well to drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors.
All very high-flying stuff.
Well, the FDA approved an immune checkpoint inhibitor known as Pembrolizumab.
Okay.
That sounds like an East African tribe to me.
The Pembrolizumab are restless this evening.
Disparity in effectiveness was largest in patients with African and Asian ancestry.
In other words, it didn't work for them.
Interesting.
Yes.
And it could mean doctors are prescribing these patients an expensive drug.
Each dose of Pembrolizumab costs more than $10,000.
And this could be not working at all.
It did not, in other words, improve the survival prospects for patients who are African and Asian.
Now, there's a clear solution to this problem, Mr. Kersey.
What's this?
Race is a social construct.
We know this.
And if there's something that works only on white people, we need to ban this Nazi racist treatment.
Ban it now.
That's the only solution.
It's amazing how much sense you make sometimes, but in that last paragraph, in that last few moments that you spent, you know, extolling the virtue of race as a social construct once again.
I'm bathing in the glow of your incandescence today.
You must bow to my superior logic, Mr. Kersey.
That's the only solution.
This treatment is Nazi, and it's got to be bad.
Now, I believe you have a report on my continuing refrain on the most dangerous profession in the United States.
Yes, there are so many aspiring rappers across the country, but Alas, there are so many expiring rappers as well.
Oh, very good.
Third rapper shot and killed in L.A.
County in less than a month was found dead in Planter.
In a planter?
In a planter.
This is from the Los Angeles Times.
Gosh, then you don't even have to take him to the graveyard.
Channel 11 identified the victim as Halfounce.
He's an Inglewood rapper who was shot multiple times by someone inside a dark SUV in Koreatown.
You can't even call Koreatown anymore.
Half Ounce is his name?
Yeah, Half Ounce!
I wonder if... We'll pull one out.
Everyone out there, if you're drinking while we're doing this podcast for your entertainment, pour one out for Half Ounce.
I tell you, I suspect Half Ounce does not refer to liquid measure.
I don't think it does.
But anyway... Who had released an album.
He released an album in May.
Want to take a guess at what it might have been called?
His album?
His album.
What was Half Ounce's initial LP?
I don't know, Spoonfed?
What would it have been?
It was Gang Bangin'.
Gang Bangin'?
Gang Bangin'!
Okay.
Gang Bangin'.
So, Half Ounce, if any of our listeners out there, get your Spotify account open, listen to some Gang Bangin' from Half Ounce.
The LA County Coroner's Office on Tuesday confirmed the victim's identity as This is one of the craziest first names I've ever come across.
Lotarisha O'Brien, Half Ounce's real name.
L-A-T-A-U-R-I-I-S-H-A.
Oh, it's a double I. That's pizazz, man.
Wow!
There's no Half Ounce in that name.
No.
So he was 36.
He's the third rapper shot and killed in L.A.
County in less than a month.
What's going on?
Inquiring minds want to know.
As you said, one of the most difficult professions out there.
It could be an ice truck A nice road truck driver.
You'd be working on a crab boat.
You could be an electrician.
Nope.
It's a rapper.
It's a rapper.
That's the most dangerous profession.
Apparently, the most dangerous are guys who work high-tension cables.
That's right.
I remember you put that out.
Lumberjacks.
Policemen get killed from time to time, but rapper was just not there.
Yeah.
September 12th, rapper PnB Rock.
I must confess, I'm not familiar with either Half House or PNB Rock's catalog, but I'm sure it's worth not listening to, whose real name was Rakeem Allen.
He was fatally shot during a botched robbery for the 30-year-old's jewelry while he was having lunch at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles in South Los Angeles.
You actually told us that story.
I told you that story.
On September 24th, Key Riches!
23-year-old Kian Nellam was shot and killed in Compton, along with 29-year-old Robert LaFleur.
The shootings appear to be unrelated, but L.A.
police have said they've seen an increase in follow-home robberies, especially those targeting celebrities.
And where they are easily identifiable.
They're like, oh that's Roscoe's House of Chicken.
I know where P&B Rock is right now.
Let's go up there and check it out.
We'll fall on home.
All black people know who Roscoe's House of Chicken is.
Exactly.
Other artists including Roddy Ricch and Ice-T have condemned violence in LA and the recent killings of hip-hop artists by Fellow blacks.
These are black people.
If whites do it, it's okay.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
No, I'm just saying.
Police were called at 1130 after reports shots being fired, where a man was heard screaming.
That was, of course, half-outs.
Officers arrived.
They found the victim in front of an apartment complex with gunshot wounds.
He was found at a planter.
On scene TV reported the gunman described as a black male wearing dark clothing is believed to have fled south
half ounce Just the rapper's wife recently told the TV that she was on
the phone with half ounce who was walking with a friend when she heard
shots being fired The friend reportedly ran away.
Police could not confirm if the victim was being accompanied when the shooting took place.
Halfounce, prior to being murdered, he was not shy about his past which included stints in county jail and links to the Piru gang.
He said his music career started at the age of 11 after his mother arranged for him to meet Xzibit in 2013, he said he wasn't concerned about his gang ties with his music and was willing to collaborate with artists linked to rival gangs.
I'm not banging on wax, he said at the time.
I'm not banging on my music.
What does that mean?
I have no clue.
I'm not even going to try.
Okay.
Do you want me to look that up because I will if I have to.
Banging on wax, well, or maybe that, I don't know, maybe that means he's not picking fights or he's not expecting to shoot people or be shot.
But you know, I mean, in all seriousness, what an awful thing.
He's on the phone with his wife, his wife hears gunshots, ka-bam-bam-bam, and that's... Hears half-out scream, and then he's found in a planter.
Wow.
What an awful thing.
It's a tough, yeah.
It's an awful thing.
Gee, you know... It's not gonna get easy, Mr. Taylor.
Nobody I know has ever been murdered.
And I hope it stays that way.
I can't.
I don't think anyone I've ever known has been shot.
Well, I take that back.
I know.
But, uh, and, uh, you know, you, you read your stories about some guy is, is dead and it turns out, you know, they interview his brother and say, Oh yeah, our two other brothers got shot.
My uncle got shot.
My dad got shot.
What a, I mean, gosh, it's just an astonishing, horrible business.
Uh, so our, our IP, And be on the lookout.
Head on a swivel, aspiring rappers who are listening to this, because we don't want you to be included in the ever-growing list of expiring rappers.
That's very clever, Mr. Kersey.
Aspiring rappers become expiring rappers.
It's a dangerous game.
It sure heck is, but I guess there are rewards.
But on the subject of rap lyrics, This is a fascinating story.
A judge in California vacated the murder convictions of two black men on Monday, finding that the prosecution had most likely injected racial bias into the trial by quoting the men's rap lyrics and repeating their use of a racial slur during the trial.
The ruling was the first by a judge in California to find that the use of rap lyrics violated the Racial Justice Act, a state law signed in 2020 that seeks to prevent racial and ethnic discrimination in criminal trials.
I wonder what the content of that law is.
I don't know.
It would probably make scary reading.
But the decision was of particular interest because Governor Gavin Newsom signed an expansion of the law last week that specifically restricts the use of rap lyrics.
and other creative works as evidence in criminal proceedings.
Although the decision did not hinge on that expansion, it could pave the way for similar challenges, defense lawyers said.
Now, I'm not entirely sure what's going on here.
I've looked into this law that bans the use of rap lyrics.
Well, apparently it doesn't ban all rap lyrics.
It bans all lyrics.
But it seems to me that if you are singing a song and you Sing about, in great detail, something that you claim to have done, and it turns out that it includes real details about an actual murder that you committed or that you knew about.
I don't see why that shouldn't be used at all.
I don't know if we even talked about the story, but remember the Fulton County DA came out and actually told blacks not to rap about their crimes.
And I said that was one of the funniest stories I'd ever read, and you were like, oh, I don't know why.
Now we've got to state this!
Well, maybe, but I think that she was not claiming... she's not threatening to use their rap lyrics in trying them.
Maybe she's... well, I don't know why she said that.
She was saying that.
Why are you making this so easy?
Stop doing this, you idiots!
It was hilarious.
It's yet another reminder of...
In any case, the judge ordered a new trial for Gary Bryant and Diallo Jackson, who were charged with fatally shooting a man in Antioch, California back in 2014.
Both are found guilty of murder.
They later challenged their convictions, questioning the use of their rap lyrics and Facebook posts.
Well, okay, I'll just read on, and then I'll try to puzzle this out later.
The men presented the testimony of an expert in implicit bias and legal rhetoric, an expert in the history, culture, and conventions of rap music, and racial bias in the legal system, and an expert in rap music, that's four experts by my count, who did content analysis.
And I guess they said, well, I don't know what they said, but they're experts, especially in implicit bias.
I mean, that's a really important thing to be an expert in these days.
Prosecutors urged the court to disregard the expert's testimony.
They said none of the experts spoke to any of the jurors.
And so there was no actual measurable evidence to support their opinions that the prosecution had triggered implicit bias among the jurors.
Here people never were even in court.
And they haul them before the judge and they say, well, you know, if they use these words, that's going to make jurors all racist and they're going to convict when they wouldn't have otherwise.
The judge, Claire Mayer, a lady judge, cited the expert testimony that she said supported the argument that, whether purposefully or not, the prosecution's use of rap lyrics as evidence of their involvement in the killing and gang membership premised their convictions on racially discriminatory evidence.
Well, if it's racially discriminatory, I guess being black is racially discriminatory, if you just call attention to the fact that they're black.
Seems to me.
What, are you going to put paper bags over their heads when they're testifying so nobody will know they're black?
I mean, that's sort of where this seems to be going.
Well, they might if they're trying to apply for one of the elite black sororities down south.
That's called the black paper bag test.
I'm sorry.
That's a different kind of test.
It primed the jurors implicit bias regarding negative character evaluations of African-American men as rap artists and as being associated with criminal behavior.
Claire Mayer wrote, Well, as I say, then you got to conceal their profession.
If they're rappers, you can't tell the jury.
The judge found that an objective observer can conclude that the terms drug rip and pistol whip Which the prosecutor used 29 times during closing arguments.
That seems a little excessive to me.
29 times.
Were racially coded terms.
Is drug rip racially coded in your mind?
I don't think so.
And pistol whip.
Anybody of any race can pistol whip someone.
Yeah, but it is something you don't hear about too often in a country music song.
Pistol whippin' my enemy.
On the south side of town?
I don't know.
Me and my baby, we just go out pistol whippin' every Friday night.
Don't you know that country song?
Is that Al Jackson?
Sounds like George Strait.
Yes.
But these were racially coded terms that evoked stereotypes of African men as more likely to engage in violence.
The prosecution's repetition of a racial slur that they used in rap lyrics.
I suspect it is the N-word version that rhymes with what?
Chiga!
And the prosecutor repeated this while questioning a police officer who testified at trial.
Using this, just quoting the defendants, was racially discriminatory.
I mean, this just becomes impossible.
It becomes absolutely impossible.
And the American Civil Liberties Union is absolutely ecstatic about this.
It's high time prosecutors stopped weaponizing a form of artistic expression to send black men away for long prison terms.
What the heck?
I mean, You know, I suppose you could consider it prejudicial if all you did was just play for the jury a bunch of very vile and violent rap lyrics that have nothing to do with a particular crime.
Maybe that's what they're talking about.
You have to wonder if this could be played when half-ounced.
Perhaps he was killed by a rival musician.
He was reaching out across game lines, and it turns out that, I guess, what was the word he used?
I'm not banging on wax.
I'm not banging on my music.
Well, I guess when you're banging on wax, maybe that could be relevant.
Relevant evidence, it seems to me.
These guys are always talking about shooting people.
In any case, this is all very murky business, and it's once again a tribute to the joys of diversity, the wonderful addition that our African-American brethren make to our country.
Moving to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It's not just a republic, it's the Democratic Republic.
You don't have to go far to end up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
You can find bits of it about 20 miles from here.
But an animal sanctuary in the DRC is facing demands for ransom money.
After kidnappers abducted three of their baby chimpanzees.
Oh no.
Yes.
This is the first time in the world that baby apes were kidnapped for ransom, says Frank Chantereau, founder of the sanctuary where the kidnap took place.
Chantereau's wife received three messages and a video of the abducted chimps from the kidnappers.
Now this is the part that was just buried in this story.
They told us they had planned to kidnap our children because they were supposed to come here on vacation, but they didn't come.
So the kidnappers took the three baby chimps hostage instead and demanded a large amount of ransom money from us.
Okay.
Now that's just buried.
This is of no importance.
Everybody's interested in the chimps, the poor baby chimps, but they're going to kidnap these white children.
Yeah, I mean, here you have white people who show up in the Democratic Republic of Chicago trying to help the chimpanzees survive, and this happens to them.
Moreover, just a few months after its foundation, this sanctuary for chimpanzees, in 2006, a group of people broke in during the night and set fire to the baby chimps' sleeping quarters, killing two out of the five that were there at the time.
There's no speculation as to motive here.
And then in September 2013, the sanctuary's education center was set ablaze.
No casualties.
Why?
I mean, I don't understand.
What's going on here?
Why are they going to burn down a sanctuary for chimps?
Now, apparently there's a market for baby chimpanzees.
Did you know that?
Is that to eat or as pets?
Well, I think, I'm guessing, I'm guessing these kidnap victims may very well end up on somebody's dinner plate.
But, apparently, there are buyers of these smuggled baby chimps who are rich people who want to keep exotic animals in their homes.
I suspect that there are not that many white people.
I bet they are Mexican narco-traffickers, just weirdos.
What's the most exotic pet you've ever entertained in your home?
I can't remember what you call them.
It's this little rodent that runs around.
It's not a gerbil.
A gerbil?
A hamster?
No, a gerbil.
A gerbil.
And according to Mr. Chantereau, to catch the babies, they have to kill the entire family in the jungle.
Usually between eight and ten individual apes.
And then a lot of the baby apes will die even before reaching their final destination.
This is really gruesome stuff, but yes, the fact that what they really had in mind was to kidnap three white people, that is of no apparent importance.
And now we move to New York City.
New York City officials have scaled down plans for a tent city to shelter migrants and moved it amid criticism from advocates and neighborhood groups.
Migrants.
These are the ones that get shipped up and shipped in.
Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that the city would also be exploring additional options to accommodate approximately 15,000 migrants who have entered the shelter system since May.
And the city, it's official law, they've got to provide housing for anybody who shows up and says, I'm a migrant and I need a place to stay.
These, of course, include people from Colombia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba who entered illegally seeking asylum.
Many arrived on buses chartered by Republican officials in Texas and Arizona.
Now, Mr. Adams said last month, they were going to build a tent city
in a parking lot of Orchard Beach in a remote part of the Bronx.
Some local residents protested the plan.
Oh, okay. To the point, yes.
I mean, 2 million crossings into Texas and Arizona is fine, but keep them out of the Bronx, huh?
Keep them out of the Bronx.
Now, the new center will be located in on scenic Randalls Island.
Have you heard of Randall's Island?
I have not, actually.
Well, it sits between Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, and it and adjoining Ward's Island are home to a sewage treatment plant, homeless shelters, and they are also footings for several bridges.
Sounds like a great place.
A great neighborhood to grow up in.
So, the mayor is also negotiating with cruise ship companies about renting a vessel to use as temporary housing.
That's going to be just poor.
That's going to be awful purgatory.
Maritime migrants.
Very good.
Maritime migrants.
Now, these temporary facilities will offer Migrants food, clothing, showers, medical screening, and shelter.
Who's paying for that?
You and I in a roundabout way, I suspect.
Of course, it's the taxpayers of New York.
Eric Adams also spoke with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, likewise a Democrat, about activating the National Guard to provide logistical support.
On the other hand, Brocks County GOP Chairman.
Ooh, those wicked Republicans.
He is Michael Randino, who lives near Orchard Beach.
He organized protests of the tent city that was supposed to go up there.
He said he was worried that these incomers would cause crime and asked why the city was devoting resources to people who aren't even citizens.
Good question, Mayor Adams.
Is there an answer?
On the other hand, a Democrat State Senator Jessica Ramos, she is from the Queens, whose mother emigrated from Colombia.
The sources do not say whether it was legal or illegal.
She said the city must develop more permanent housing rather than build temporary facilities.
Permanent housing!
I'm sure they need free housing for as long as they want it.
Make sure there's Wi-Fi and regular food deliveries and medical checkups and Good work if you can get it!
Yeah, you ought to give them free babysitting for the children while the parents go out partying.
Don't give them ideas!
And she says, it's our job to make sure they feel welcome and that they feel safe.
So there you go!
She's got it in a nutshell.
I live a far better existence than a lot of Americans in the heartland, that's for sure.
Come one, come all.
It's our job to make sure they feel welcome and they feel safe.
Wow.
Well, you know, that's a great way to cut down on illegal border crossings, isn't it?
It's a great way.
Put them on cruise ships, maybe cruise off the coast of the old homeland, you know, wave at mom and dad.
Maybe you can send them to England.
Rwanda.
Rwanda.
The Rwanda Project.
We'll double it up.
Mr. Kersey, you have a story about the U.S.
Treasury.
The U.S.
Treasury is spreading sweetness, light, and equity.
This is from the New York Times.
The Treasury creates a Racial Equity Committee to Narrow Economic Disparities.
So this new advisory group will help guide the Biden admins effort to promote economic equality.
Whenever you hear that term, economic equality, run.
Do not, you know, do not even look back, run to the exits, run as fast as you can.
And, and, you know, this is one of those stories you're going to be thinking, wow, can it get any worse?
Ladies and gentlemen, they're coming for the equity in their home.
We know that.
The Biden admin is deepening its efforts to focus on reducing racial inequity with the formation of a new advisory committee that will help the Treasury Department carry out policies aimed to narrow economic disparities So the Treasury Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, say
that three times really fast.
The Treasury Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, TARC, I guess, TACRI, I don't know,
I guess they didn't come up with a cool acronym for that, was going to include 25 members
from academia, business, and advocacy groups.
It'll convene four times a year to evaluate and offer guidance to the Treasury Department and its leadership on an array of programs that touch nearly every corner of the economy.
Any representatives of taxpayers?
Any representatives of any race-realist groups?
We'll get to that in a second.
So they hope the Biden admin officials say the focus on equity will help unlock economic potential that has for decades gone untapped.
Yeah, that's one of the more laughable lines you ever think of when you think about, you know, I do want to encourage all of our listeners to become readers of A.R.
Amren.com because Gregory Hood just published, I believe, the 10th or the 11th essay in the Great Replacement series. This one was focused
on the transformation of Memphis. And that is what was a
just before the Civil Rights era unleashed certain forces upon our major cities. It was a majority
white city for its entire existence.
It's a fascinating read.
I encourage all of our listeners to read that entire series because I have a good authority that one day that might make it home.
That might be a book.
It would make an excellent book.
It would.
Unfortunately, I doubt that our friends on the Racial Equity Committee will read it.
These include Michael Nutter.
You might remember him as the former mayor of Philadelphia who got really upset about that Being White in Philadelphia article that started a pretty big controversy back in, I think, 2012-2013.
That's right.
We've got Michael Maibach, the Chief Executive of MasterCard.
David Clooney, the Executive Director of the Black Economic Alliance.
Felicia Wong, the President of the Roosevelt Institute, a progressive think tank.
And Barica Williams, the Executive Director of the Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development.
You know, all the people they appoint are just these fanatics, clearly.
I mean, I don't know about the MasterCard guy.
Is he black?
Could be these days.
I don't know.
But aside from him, all of them, you can just tell from their titles, they're just fanatics.
And they're going to try to make everything the Treasury do fill the pockets of blacks and empty yours and mine.
Oh, it gets even worse.
Wally Adeyemo, the Deputy Treasury Secretary, he said this, the steps we take here to think about racial equity Aren't only about moral issues, but how we can further our academic agenda by expanding the potential of the economy.
And then he would go on to say... What is his name?
Wally.
A-D-E-Y-E-M-O.
At E-M-O.
He then said this.
He said, members of the committee would offer advice on a broad range of policy areas, including taxes.
Hey, let's find a way to just tax white people.
That's right.
They'll figure that out.
The modernization of the Internal Revenue Service.
Hey, let's find a way to get more money from white people.
Yeah.
Let's just audit white people.
Yeah.
And the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, which President Biden signed into law last year.
Members will be expected to be on call to weigh in on matters relevant to their expertise, which means, hey, my fee per hour is 200 bucks.
You know, they didn't ask me.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has made racial equity.
I didn't know this.
A top priority at her department.
That's in the back of the bus.
for racial equity to improve engagement with diverse communities. I don't know if there's
a correlation, Mr. Taylor, to that and the economy and the market being down about 22, 25 percent
for the year. When equity is at the forefront of everyone's mind, actually making sure the
economy works seems to be at the end, in the back of the bus with Rosa Parks.
In the back of the bus, I'm afraid so. And municipal bonds.
You'll be not surprised, Mr. Kersey, to realize that there is racial bias in the $4 trillion U.S.
muni bond market.
To pay for new schools and other major projects, places such as Memphis speak of the devil.
Memphis is, of course, a wreck, a black-run wreck these days.
They pay higher interest rates simply because they're majority black, the researchers say.
Oh, really?
That's the only reason.
That's got to be it.
They called it the black tax.
I know what the black tax is and that's not it.
No, no.
Studies are documenting just how much more black communities pay as well as the role of racial bias.
Finance experts know that many black communities do have higher unemployment and lower incomes.
I bet they can't find a white community that looks like Memphis.
to lower bond ratings and higher interest. So, the academics are studying reams of bond offerings,
attempting to adjust for this situation by comparing communities alike in every way except
for race. I bet they can't find a white community that looks like Memphis. They just can't find one.
No white community is going to be as badly run and have such a poor way of raising revenue.
I'm not going to lie, Mr. Taylor.
I wish that the community that I lived in had a Bass Pro Shop that was a former stadium that is shaped as the pyramid.
It's one of the coolest buildings in the United States of America.
And if our listeners, you need to take a look at this.
It's called the Pyramid.
Since Memphis was, if you read the article, it turns out that Andrew Jackson, I did not know this.
Did you know that Andrew Jackson had a hand in the name?
I didn't know it.
Gregory Hood wrote the place.
And so that's why you've got this massive glass pyramid that now is a Bass Pro Shop.
Well, I guess that's... I wish I had that in my city.
That probably contributes about 40% of the annual Memphis City budget all by itself.
I could imagine so.
In any case, you know, okay, they say it's all racist.
Last year, the U.S.
House Financial Services Subcommittee held a hearing on racial inequity in the municipal bond market.
It focused largely on a paper finding that historically black colleges and universities pay more when issuing municipal bonds.
Well, is there any chance they're more likely to default?
Higher interest is what you have to reward investors with if there is more risk.
That is just one of the basic laws of lending.
The National League of Cities is examining this issue with a $4 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, another band of loony liberals.
Now, with $4 million to hunt for racism, what are the chances they won't find any, Mr. K?
Probably zero.
Bank of America Citigroup JPMorgan Chase, the biggest U.S.
municipal bond underwriters, declined to comment on this story.
As did all other companies asked to discuss, except for, listen to this, Gary Hall, who leads public financing at Siebert Williams Schenck & Company, the largest minority-owned investment bank.
He defended the industry in congressional hearings.
Here, once again, it takes a non-white to stand up and say something that's obvious.
He says, we would not have repeat clients if we didn't obtain the lowest cost of financing possible based on fundamentals of credit and risk.
What an idea!
What an idea!
So basically what he's saying is, pay your bills, black people.
Yes, that's exactly what he's saying.
Look, this is the way the market works.
If you're risky investment, you have to reward the investors for taking the risk.
Now, here's a listener comment.
This is a fellow who was a former in the finance industry.
He was an analyst on Wall Street.
He says, there's an entire industry.
that rates bonds. It's dominated by Moody's standards in poor and Fitch.
Cities with a declining tax base, excessive deferred maintenance, and poor management
are less creditworthy, and investors must be compensated for increased risk.
What do you think has a greater risk, Memphis or Jackson, Mississippi?
I'd guess Jackson's probably even worse.
It's a smaller place, I think.
It's over 160,000, barely.
It's about 83% black.
160,000 barely. It's about 83% black. Memphis, Memphis.
Yeah.
Jackson. Yeah. I wonder if Jackson can even issue municipal bonds these days.
Okay. And also my, our listener says the bond selling institutions,
Goldman Sachs, and many others all do their own credit analysis.
And many of the institutional buyers, pension funds, bond funds, insurance companies, do their analysis too.
Pressure the bond rating houses optimistically to rate a lousy credit and they will lose credibility.
Sophisticated buyers ultimately set the price of the bond.
Now, they aren't gatekeepers, they're investors.
Alternatively, what they will do, they will buy a lousy credit, take the early interest payments, then dump the bonds before there's a problem, and the dumped bonds end up in the hands of hapless individual investors.
Isn't that interesting?
So Memphis makes the first year's worth of payments, and then it goes, toes up, who's holding the bonds?
Not the people who bought them originally.
Interesting.
And our listener says... So that risk is not as bad.
Okay, I get it.
Yes, the risk is not so bad in the first couple of years.
Yeah, it's only... Yeah, as you move on down the line, then as our financially savvy listener explains, regulation is necessary for transparency and protecting investors, but the racial policy in a regulated efficient market is harmful and the markets will not be fooled.
It's pretty good.
Yeah, we have really, oh boy, time's wasting.
Let's see, we've got, boy, we've got so many good stories here.
We're going to have to sacrifice a few.
Sacrifice?
It's okay.
It is the month of Samoran, so... Did I pronounce that correctly?
Month of what?
What is Halloween kind of known as in Ireland?
Oh, I don't know.
It starts with an S. Samoran... Anyways.
Gosh, I did not know.
Well, let's see, YouTube.
A brief observation about YouTube.
It removed a video of incoming Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, one of our, at least, our rising stars in the European front.
Oh, she is.
In which she elaborated on her conservative vision for the country during a 2019 speech at the World Congress of Families.
She said, And YouTube didn't like this.
They said it's scandalous for people to defend the natural family founded on marriage, to want to increase the birth rate, to want to place the correct value on human life, to support freedom in education, and to say no to gender ideology.
Well, Reason Magazine, which occasionally takes a principled libertarian view on things.
Keyword, occasionally.
Occasionally.
Asked YouTube to explain why they took it down.
And they did restore it.
They did.
It was an amazing speech.
Yes.
They said, upon careful review, we determined this is not violative of our guidelines.
Why can't they say it doesn't violate the guidelines?
They've got to say it's violative of our guidelines.
And we've reinstated it.
And then speaking further on the question of YouTube, A video by a fellow named Matt Orfalea.
Ever heard of him?
I have not.
Well, apparently he's been working on it, showing years of audio and video clips, tweets and headlines in which Democratic Party politicians and media figures call Donald Trump's presidency illegitimate.
Oh, I've seen it.
Have you seen it?
It's good.
I've not actually seen it.
I bet it is good.
There's probably great stuff there.
The material does not promote the idea that any election is ever stolen or illegitimate.
It just contains a great mass of comments from Democrats who themselves make that claim about the 2016 election, about Donald Trump.
That's correct.
That's correct.
And these came These nobody suppressed or censored these comments when they were first made first time around the likes of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Kareem Jean-Pierre, Adam Schiff, Rob Reiner, Tom Arnold, and Chris Hayes, Keith Olbermann for one,
He promised that as far as Trump's ascension to the White House was concerned, he said, quote, it will not be a peaceful transfer of power.
It wasn't.
Well, no.
Yes, you're true.
He had nothing to do with it.
But if you go back and look it up on J-20 in D.C.
I was there.
I was there.
It was an eerie feeling being down there that day.
It was an eerie feeling being down there that day.
Yes, yes. It was sort of a preview.
It was a precursor of what was coming.
Yes, of lively things to come.
However, the decision to assemble all these materials in one place apparently crosses a certain line.
Now we know you can deny election results on a platform like YouTube as much as you want.
You can even promise disruption.
But if you draw attention to this, it upsets the algorithms.
Now, apparently, YouTube didn't take it down.
It just refused to let the video run any ads.
So this guy put an awful lot of work into this.
He hoped to get some of his benefits back.
Monetized it.
And you know, this reminds me of a different account.
It was called Verified Hate on Twitter.
And what this guy did was go to all these blue check verified users who said really ferocious, hateful things about whites.
And he would just put them all together.
He said, this is this week's compilation.
Here it is.
His account was taken down.
Not the ones who have all of these... Well, let's hope Elon Musk, upon acquiring Twitter here in the next week, rehabilitates these.
Because, you know, there's two sites that I hope come back, and then there's a lot of individuals, including yourself, your Twitter account.
In fact, it would be a lot of fun if he actually decides to look into the lawsuit that you did a few years ago.
Well, that would be very interesting if that's revisited to figure out.
But I do hope that Libs of TikTok and Babylon Bee are back, because you know what?
There's nothing better than satirizing the left, and more importantly, just pointing out what the left says.
And they're increasingly, Mr. Taylor, last thought on that.
Libs of TikTok are increasingly doing stuff that they're calling anti-white.
Yes.
I mean, again, they're getting braver.
We are at a point now where this is part of the nomenclature of the right.
Indeed.
Anti-white.
We are pioneers.
We are blazing the trail and others are following, Mr. Kersey.
Well, we have so little time left.
Let me see if we can get through this story.
There are many formal resources available to support students who are sexually assaulted.
But negative experiences with campus officials such as police officers and counselors might prompt students of color to seek more informal outlets.
Some of these show how for black women, for example, are less likely than white women to report a sexual assault to police.
Why might this be?
This may include prior negative experiences with reporting and fears of not being believed, but also concerns about implicating another student of color.
Uh-oh!
Uh-oh!
If you got raped by a black man, you don't want to get another brother in trouble with the police.
Oh gosh!
But would they turn in white people?
I suspect they would.
Now, instead of turning to formal reporting statements, experts say many women of color seek out community support.
This can include regaining control of one's body through yoga, seeking out support from peers, and processing trauma.
Aguilar Marquez directed UC Riverside's CARE program.
She created a holistic healing program that included trauma-informed yoga, art therapy, and a community garden.
Now this is pretty good.
The healing space for Middle Eastern students, she says, looked very different from the space that we built for our African Student Program Center.
Events incorporated black feminist thought poetry, communal drumming, and singing.
Colleges should ensure students of color can speak to professionals who look like them.
Communal drumming?
Sounds like a hoax.
I feel very sorry for anybody who has been raped on campus, but they should go to the police.
And what is this stuff about feminist thought, poetry, communal drumming, and singing?
I forgot the singing.
That's going to cure it.
And colleges should ensure students of color can speak to professionals who look like them.
I mean, do they ever worry about white people in that respect?
Afraid not.
No, not at all.
Well, Mr. Kersey, we had so many other excellent stories.
And you know, you had this great thing about Fairfax County School.
We'll get to that next week.
Well, that's Fairfax County.
It's where my children went to school.
It is heading south at a great rate of speed.
So ladies and gentlemen,
