	Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Radio Renaissance.
	I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance and with me is my indispensable co-host Paul Kersey.
	As is our custom, we begin with a listener comment.
	Our listener writes in to say, last week you talked about a black rapper named Half Ounce who was shot to death.
	You quoted a line from News Report in which he said, I ain't banging on wax, the meaning of which seemed to mystify you.
	I believe I'm qualified to translate his deep thought, expressed so eloquently in African-American vernacular English, by Mr. Ounce.
	Wax is a nickname for vinyl, as in vinyl records.
	I believe this gentleman is saying his lyrics and music do not refer to his life of crime, and the way he positions himself as an artist is devoid of gangbanger posturing.
	Roughly speaking then, I'm not a gangbanger in my music, is what he intended to say.
	I hope this helps you better understand, our fellow citizens.
	Well, I guess so.
	I knew that wax meant records, but not banging on wax.
	All right.
	Very good.
	Now, as we know, some of these guys, they have very short lifespans and they do seem to bring their turf wars and their various feuds into their music.
	Which only seems to shorten their lives.
	But what was the James Dean quote?
	Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse?
	There you go.
	I guess they've taken James Dean's motto to mind.
	And I guess they at least leave a blingy corpse.
	Now, we have a listener who calls our attention to this story.
	It's a Prince George's County School's substitute teacher by the name of Bianca Robinson.
	PG County is in Maryland, right next door to Washington, D.C.
	She's been removed from the classroom at District Heights Elementary School because of a few postings on Twitter.
	One of which was the following.
	Black women raising boys.
	Please stop letting your sons pick up female traits.
	I have the B asterisk asterisk chest boys in my class.
	I guess that means the bitchest boys in my class.
	I know y'all have some men around somewhere.
	This shit is getting ridiculous, says she.
	Yes, bitch seems to be an insult to men, weak men, women, men who are being Treated as if they were weak women or something.
	Then she went on to say, on a different tweet, third day of school and I made another kid cry.
	These fifth graders never had a teacher from the hood, I see.
	I won't be spoken to in any kind of way.
	I will gather a child quickly and respectfully and still bring him to tears.
	So I guess those are one of the bitchest boys in her class.
	When teachers tell kids they're going to end up in jail, that shit is true.
	All the badass kids I went to high school with end up in jail.
	So when I look at my students who think it's cute being bad, I just wonder how long it's going to be for them to land in jail.
	I think that's a rather sensible quote.
	It is.
	This sort of thing needs to be said.
	Then she goes on to say something.
	I'm not quite sure about this.
	You're a parent, I believe.
	What do you think about this comment?
	Kids need to be bullied.
	Bullying doesn't just stop with childhood.
	How will they be ready for an adult bully?
	The no bullying thing is dumb.
	I am pro-bullying.
	Well, there's something to be said.
	I think you do need to have your children learn to stand up for themselves and not be coddled.
	At the same time, I think there is something to be said if your child is bullied, if they learn from that and then they're able to stand up to that person.
	I think that's a very important trait and characteristic that I think it's frowned upon in our society now.
	To fight back, especially white kids.
	White kids, it seemed to me, just get pushed around in the most contemptible way.
	In any case, she got fired.
	Make bullying great again.
	I don't know about that.
	This lady, this black lady apparently got fired as a substitute teacher for saying these things.
	Although she had some defenders.
	One online commenter said that she's a victim of cancel culture.
	She ain't wrong, but y'all wowed for putting her on blast.
	I think maybe our listener will explain to us what putting her on blast means, although we can guess from context.
	In the meanwhile, I think some of the most interesting and important news is about Tulsi Gabbard.
	She has left the Democrat Party.
	She's left the Democratic Plantation.
	Yes, with quite a considerable bang.
	And she made a pretty good statement, I thought.
	She says, I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism.
	Actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police, and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.
	Not too bad.
	How can you reject or find fault in anything that Tulsi said there?
	That's pretty good.
	The former congressman then invited like-minded Democrats to join her in leaving the party.
	As you recall, she was invited to speak at the last CPAC conference.
	So, she's been heading in the Republican direction for some time.
	However, a listener who called our attention to this phenomenon wonders, would she become a Republican?
	She did support DACA.
	That is certainly a black mark against her, and was against building the wall.
	I didn't remember that.
	I don't remember that either.
	Also, as a running mate for DeSantis or Abbott, however, she'd probably be perfect.
	I think there's something to that.
	She led against gay marriage, is a veteran who's against interventionism, she is pro-choice but has the reasonable position of, quote, keep it legal and rare.
	So, yeah, that's a pretty, that's a fascinating idea.
	I think she'd be a phenomenal Secretary of Defense, actually.
	With her military background, I think she'd understand the importance of de-escalating all this nonsense.
	We're not going to talk about what just happened with the decision by our Black Defense Secretary to abolish all the Confederate names.
	That just came down the pike.
	But no, I think that we are witnessing a great realignment and obviously this is a show that's sponsored by a We don't endorse candidates or anything, but I do think she does have a future if she decides to run, and I hope it's not just as a pundit.
	I hope it's as someone who tries to actually make law.
	Oh, I think she was a congresswoman.
	I think she's got a taste for being in the legislature, being at the top of the heap, and I think she'd probably be a pretty effective VP candidate.
	So, we will see.
	We will see.
	Big news.
	Meanwhile, last week we weren't able to get around to a pretty important story about the county in which I live and where my children went to public schools.
	So, Mr. Kersey, the ball's in your court.
	Yeah, Fairfax schools implemented an equity grading to fight bias.
	I do not recall, I think I got this on the Washington Examiner, another site that I would say our listeners should check out.
	You will see, I think you'd be shocked to see the type of stories they're covering now.
	Again, The ghetto for racial stories, it's no longer contained to just Amarin.com or VDare.
	I think we've seen the whole concept of White Lives Matter and this anti-whiteness go viral.
	And just to put a bow on Tulsi Gabbard, you know, she was one of the first people who actually came out.
	We talked about her on the show before.
	Yes, we did.
	Because she explicitly called it what's happening.
	Anti-white.
	She was still in Congress at that point.
	That's right.
	And that was one of those moments where I kind of stood up and was like, okay, this is a new frontier we're headed down.
	So many people who were opposed to critical race theory said, oh, it's divisive, it's anti-American.
	But no, she put her finger right on the spot and said it's anti-white.
	Exactly, and that to me, that's a sign.
	A good one.
	Yeah, so officials with Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools, for those who don't know, Fairfax is one of the richest counties per capita in all the United States of America.
	It's right outside of Washington, D.C., so it's a recession-proof, inflation-proof area, basically.
	Well, officials have taken steps to implement so-called equitable grading at Langley High School and other schools across the district in a bid to fight institutional bias, according to internal Fairfax County Public School communications.
	Langley, for those who don't know, maybe you're listening around the world, Langley is, of course, home to the CIA, so it's one of the better high schools in the country, actually.
	Langley High School is probably the best public high school aside from Thomas Jefferson, which you have to go into by special examination, but it is really a high-performing high school.
	The district's email is obtained by local parents through a Freedom of Information Act request and exclusively shared with the Washington Examiner.
	It details efforts by high school principals across the district, especially officials at Langley High School in recent months, to adopt equitable grading practices, including by using federal coronavirus relief funds to purchase a book for a teacher summer reading club titled Grading for Equity.
	What it is, why it matters, and how it can transform schools and classrooms.
	That'll cure them of COVID, I guess.
	Exactly.
	That's the only way to get rid of COVID.
	The Pfizer-Vax, the Moderna-Vax.
	No, no, no.
	You've got to read Grading for Equity, and you'll never get COVID again.
	Oh, the district and Lingley administrators denied the efforts were ongoing when a parent inquired.
	The emails also revealed efforts to implement equitable grading at all high schools under FCPS have been in motion for years, going back to 2015 with a notable acceleration in 2020 during the COVID pandemic, as schools across the district remain closed well into the spring of 2021.
	Now, when they say closed, that means to students.
	Students were doing virtual learning because For those who don't know, not only is Fairfax one of the richest counties, but it's also a pretty woke county when it comes to these policies.
	So, you didn't have parents pushing back to actually get their kids into the classroom because they're all probably wearing masks as they drive around their cars, Mr. Taylor.
	And Fairfax County Public Schools paid Ibram Kendi $20,000 for a one-half hour Zoom session.
	Good work if you can get it.
	To make the woke county teachers even woker.
	Did you ever read his book?
	On American history?
	Oh, on American.
	I've never read any of his books.
	I couldn't drag myself through them.
	I think you actually enjoy it because it actually makes you realize, God, we did have a great country once.
	It's like that book, Documents of American Prejudice.
	It's like, wow, OK.
	Well, the lefties are very good at digging up sensible previous white people.
	It's all the Republicans and the conservatives saying, oh, no, no.
	Thomas Jefferson was looking forward to black people voting and holding office.
	He really was.
	He really was.
	No.
	Well, so please continue.
	Yeah, so equitable grading practice vary based on how the concept is implemented, but the primary stated goal of proponents is to combat institutional bias, eliminate racial disparities in grade outcomes through a variety of tactics.
	Among the least controversial is the removal of grade penalties for late assignments and the ability to retake or redo assignments often on An unlimited basis.
	Redo them on an unlimited basis?
	You could take the final 20 times if you fail it?
	I got it.
	I don't understand.
	I got a D. Let me try it again.
	Oh, I got a C. Oh, I got a D. Okay, fourth time.
	I got a B. Yes.
	Now, apparently, they're going after that because they think that non-whites or blacks will benefit from it more than others.
	That's the only way it can lead to equity.
	Exactly.
	So, proponents of the novel grading practice also advocate the elimination of zero grades by using a 50 to 100 scale.
	Under that scale, a student cannot receive a grade lower than 50.
	So there's where the bar, there's where your floor is.
	You're going to get a 50 no matter what.
	Even if you do absolutely nothing.
	Even if the assignment was never submitted, thereby creating a much higher grade floor and enabling students to achieve passing grades more easily.
	In an interview with Harvard Ed Mag in 2019, the author of Grading for Equity, Joe Feldman explained that the initiative had three primary elements it sought to achieve.
	Accuracy, bias, resistance, and intrinsic motivation. Grading practices must counteract
	institutional biases that have historically rewarded students with privilege and punish
	those without and also must protect student grades from our own implicit biases, Mr. Feldman
	said.
	I bet some of the institutional biases reward people with brains.
	I think so.
	And reward people who with initiative and who work hard.
	He would continue.
	I agree.
	Yeah.
	He continues by saying this, quote, our grading must stop using points to reward or punish, but instead should teach students the connection between means of learning and the ends.
	how doing homework is valuable not because of how many points the teacher doles out
	but because those actions improve a student's learning."
	All I can say is I don't think this type of stuff is being taught in Chinese schools,
	Japanese schools, Saudi Arabian schools, Russian schools, probably not even Mexican schools.
	Nope. Nope.
	Probably only in America.
	Maybe in Sweden or some other... Sweden?
	I could see the United Kingdom aping some of this.
	If I can use that term.
	I don't know if I can use that term anymore, but yeah, there you are.
	Well, in New York City, cops had to resort to using dental records and fingerprints to try to identify a man crushed to death by a great big truck in Manhattan.
	The victim, believed to be in his 50s, but nobody knows, was crossing 8th Avenue at West 44th Street.
	That's not far from where I used to live.
	I used to live seven blocks north on 51st Street and 8th Avenue.
	Around 11.30 p.m., when he was smashed by this big tractor-trailer, crushed under it, and stuck right under it.
	And one of the passers-by, a woman, did a little dance beside the body and then lifted his wallet.
	This is all on video.
	And bystanders could be heard egging her on.
	Go ahead, gangster, one man said.
	Go ahead!
	Well, this is why the police can't identify the body.
	We've already lifted prints and we're waiting on dental, one police source said.
	Thankfully, they didn't steal his teeth, too.
	But yes, these are yet more African Americans in our midst.
	Go ahead, gangsta!
	Well, this gangsta was a lady.
	And yes, she is one wallet richer, but the police are being put to very considerable bother to try to identify the body.
	Meanwhile, there's been a certain amount of Hispanic degeneracy to go along with this.
	Our Hispanic degeneracy stories are not as common as our Black degeneracy stories.
	Nevertheless, A 25-year-old woman was killed in a pair of teenagers.
	Blasted more than 100 bullets into the Airbnb where she was staying near Fort Worth.
	100!
	This is in Texas in a drive-by shooting.
	Novita Brazil was killed instantly when the two underage gunmen, I'll tell you their ages in just a moment, opened fire.
	But cops said the suspects probably hit the wrong house.
	That she had nothing to do with whatever it was that led to the shooting.
	Oh.
	Yes.
	Isn't this awful?
	Bexar County Police caught the shooters aged 14 and 15.
	14 and 15 years old.
	14 and 15.
	Yes.
	Two Hispanics.
	10 miles of car chase before they were finally apprehended, charged with first-degree murder.
	Three others believed to be involved in the shooting were also arrested.
	Two, again, 15 and 14, and then a 17 year old, the old man of the group.
	They were charged with deadly conduct with a firearm.
	And the Bexar County Sheriff, Javier Salazar, this seems to be essentially all Hispanic saga here.
	He says the people who arrested appeared completely remorseless after being caught.
	Another lady, 41 year old woman, staying in the house with Brazil, was wounded in the leg.
	Fourteen fifteen-year-olds are doing a drive-by shooting in the dead of night, said the officer.
	The motive for the intended shooting remains unclear, but Brazil, who went by the name of Vida, was born in Indonesia.
	Her body will be returned overseas to be buried near her family.
	The Daily Mail, which reported this, said the Daily Mail is much better than U.S.
	papers about going into details about some of these horrible stories in the United States, called it a vicious drive-by shooting gone wrong.
	Well, drive-by shootings always go right.
	Well, does that mean if they killed the person they meant to kill, it would have been a drive-by shooting gone right?
	That's a very strange term, which I hate that term.
	Yes, drive-by shooting gone wrong.
	Now, listen to this story.
	This is in Atlantic.
	Atlantic has some of these long stories I will read to you.
	There's some interesting information that is not related to our usual topics, but This is from an article called The Racial Inequality of Sleep.
	Well, as somebody who has trouble sleeping, I'm curious about this story because melatonin doesn't work, so maybe I've got a little more melatonin than I thought.
	You might.
	You might.
	Listen to this.
	Black Americans aren't sleeping as well as whites.
	Apparently, it's a great crisis.
	The journal Sleep published a study on the sleep quality of black, white, Chinese, and Hispanic adults in six cities in the United States.
	The insufficient amount of sleep, the short sleep duration of the African Americans really stood out.
	Whites slept an average of 6.85 hours.
	Blacks slept an average of 6.05 hours.
	In other words, 0.8.
	Four-fifths of an hour less on average than the whites.
	Now black, they were five times more likely to get what's called short sleep, defined as less than six hours a night.
	That's called short sleep.
	Okay.
	Hispanic participants were 1.8 times more likely to get short sleep, but the Chinese were 2.3 times more likely.
	I wonder what's going on with the Chinese here.
	Blacks were also more likely to report feeling sleepy in the daytime, and they woke up more often in the middle of the night.
	This was using objective measurement.
	In other words, they had stuff attached to them so you could see if they were sleeping or not when they get out of bed, etc.
	As opposed to self-reports, which are the most common way of doing this, but they're never accurate.
	As blacks get wealthier, the gap in sleep narrows.
	Okay.
	But it does not go away.
	So, which is why it seems worth asking, and I'm quoting now from Atlantic Magazine, are there policy interventions that could realistically help to improve how black Americans sleep?
	Now that's a burning question.
	Reparations!
	That's a burning question.
	I lie awake at night worrying about that, you know.
	That's why I barely sleep, actually.
	That's what I think about this disparity.
	You're worrying, how can we help black Americans sleep?
	I bet the next presidential candidate, the next presidential election, this will be a burning political question.
	Now, here are some interesting aspects about sleep.
	Sleep is when the brain reorganizes itself and consolidates memories.
	It's essential for learning and concentration.
	Multiple studies have found that after daylight savings time begins in the spring, a day when people are likely to have their sleep disrupted, the number of traffic fatalities increases.
	Did you know that?
	I did not!
	That's interesting.
	I've never quite understood the point of switching between daylight saving and daylight losing, but anyway.
	On the other hand, too much sleep, longer than 8 hours, and too little sleep, less than 6 hours, put people at higher odds for early death.
	If you sleep more than 8 hours a night, that's not a good sign.
	The best survival was found among people who slept 7 hours per night.
	Now, poor sleep is reported to be a risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, which are all ailments that disproportionately affect black people.
	Correct.
	Blacks are 33% more likely than whites to die from heart disease, and 1.7 times more likely to have diabetes, and 1.5 times more likely to be obese.
	Now, that seems like a small figure to me, I suspect, compared to whites.
	They're talking about, I'm sorry, this is the general population.
	Hispanics can be pretty fat too.
	In any case, on the question of how to explain the black-white sleep gap, Researchers have a number of related theories, says Atlantic.
	And it goes on to say, there is consensus that innate biological differences between blacks and whites are not a factor.
	Not a factor.
	They've just ruled that out.
	No.
	It has to be, yeah.
	Obviously, it can't be.
	That can't be.
	So guess what the culprit is?
	White privilege.
	Pretty close.
	The stress caused by discrimination Researchers had subjects take a survey designed to assess the level of discrimination they felt.
	More discrimination meant less slow-wave sleep.
	That's the deepest form of sleep.
	People who are discriminated against, it is believed, carry worry throughout the day.
	And that worry literally keeps them up at night.
	At the same time, and I think this is important, probably got nothing to do with white people being mean and thinking impure thoughts, noisy, unsafe, disorderly neighborhoods increase stress and the need for vigilance.
	Yes, I imagine if there are gunshots going off around the house, that would disturb my sleep.
	While community-based sleep promotion, this is the Atlantic's term, may sound like a vague intervention, there are in fact programs under where that show how it might be done.
	Community-based sleep promotion.
	Got that?
	Community-based sleep promotion.
	That's the next big campaign to uplift blacks.
	Community-based sleep promotion.
	Does that mean sleep overs or camp outs?
	I don't know, walking around the neighborhood saying, look into my eyes, you are feeling sleepy.
	I mean, why doesn't Apple go ahead and sponsor those and give every black individual in the country an Apple Watch?
	So then they can actually have their sleep tracked on a daily basis.
	On a nightly basis, I should say.
	Yes, well, depending on whether or not welfare or not, it might be daily basis.
	But now, how does this community-based sleep promotion work?
	The fact is, there's a racial disparity when it comes to sleep apnea.
	You know about apnea?
	Yeah, that's when people stop breathing in their sleep.
	It can happen once, you know, every five minutes.
	It's apparently a terrible thing.
	People's breathing stops and it can stop for as long as 30 seconds.
	They sort of come to with a gasp and that's no fun at all and very bad for sleep.
	And let's see a quotation here from the article.
	Not only does it seem they are more likely to have the disorder, They are less likely to make it to a doctor to have treatment prescribed, and even if they get treatment prescribed, they are less inherent and don't use it as much.
	Sounds like pure white racism to me.
	Unadulterated.
	Unadulterated.
	Now that's why that they don't go to the doctor, and even if they get treatment, they don't accept the treatment.
	14% of blacks apparently have apnea, and the figure for whites is about half that.
	Also, sleep apnea is four to six times as prevalent among black than white children, particularly among children.
	And blacks as a community are unfamiliar with sleep health and hesitant to undergo lab tests.
	A study by one of these community-based sleep promotion organizations What they did, uh, they, let's see, they tracked 421 black patients who were referred to get tested for sleep apnea.
	Only 38% showed up to get a diagnosis, even though they were all called by the doctor to remind them of their appointments.
	Now I suppose they should have sent taxis out to pick them up too.
	You know, these are black people after all.
	Of these, 38% nearly all received a positive diagnosis of sleep apnea, and many referred for the sleep test were obese, hypertensive, and had high cholesterol.
	And missing out on sleep treatments meant that they are missing out on an opportunity to manage those conditions as well, because obesity, hypertension, and high cholesterol apparently are worse if your sleep apnea goes untreated and your sleep is badly disturbed.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, you'll be delighted to know that this particular study on community-based sleep promotion on the subject of apnea was funded by the NIH at a cost of $423,750.
	And for the first year, the study was only for blacks.
	Only for blacks.
	Now it has been opened up to all minorities.
	So, whitey, too bad.
	If you've got apnea, that is your problem.
	In any case, they go from saying that the problem is white racism, and then they point out that black people are more likely to have apnea, less likely to get treated for it, more likely to be obese, etc., etc.
	They just can't make up... Well, they make up their minds, and then they produce all sorts of other facts that make you doubt this racism story.
	Also, when you ask black people, How much racism do you suffer every day?
	Yeah.
	And some of them say loads.
	Some say not so much.
	It's all self-testing.
	I tell you, whenever these people say, I have to fight white privilege and white supremacy every single day, I'd like to follow one of these people around.
	That would be an amazing case study.
	It would be interesting.
	Just follow the distance.
	Yes, where's the white supremacy?
	That white person looked at me wrong in the grocery store.
	Incorrectly.
	An insufficient amount of... Deference.
	My feet were not kissed often enough.
	Gosh, I got no handouts all day.
	I didn't get a single dime in reparations today.
	That's racism.
	That's one of my favorite examples of something being Described as racist.
	Sleep is now.
	Sleep disparities is racist.
	There you go.
	I mean, that and traffic lights.
	The red traffic... The cameras.
	The traffic cameras.
	That ticket.
	That was a good one.
	I think that was out of Chicago.
	Yes.
	Washington D.C.
	too.
	Yeah, Washington D.C.
	I've got some of those before.
	They're terrible.
	It sucks to get that in your mailbox.
	Trust me.
	Especially when you're driving someone else's car.
	It's like, oh crap, I'm sorry about that.
	I've never had the experience.
	I'm never allowed out of the basement, you know, so.
	I'm here saving the white race, you know, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
	So wait, you're the one who somehow is sending out these messages to cause this disparity in sleep.
	The Atlantic needs to know.
	We need to divulge this.
	As I say, merely thinking impure thoughts.
	Causes black people not to sleep very well.
	In any case, Mr. Kersey, you are going to tell us all about TikTok.
	TikTok, TikTok.
	The clock strikes midnight for White Lives Matter on that platform.
	Have you ever been on TikTok?
	No, I don't think I've ever... I think I've seen a few TikTok videos.
	I've never TikTok'd.
	I don't think you've lasted long on TikTok, unfortunately.
	What do you mean?
	Well, if you were to start a channel and to do fun videos.
	I don't know.
	Come on, a good-looking guy like me.
	You do some workout videos.
	No, I agree, but I just, I think that there'd be a mass reporting incident.
	Oh, I see.
	So I would get kicked off.
	You'd be kicked off.
	Yeah.
	TikTok has banned users from even searching for the term White Lives Matter.
	So as I stated, this is from summit.net.news, Paul Joseph Watson's.
	Interesting little outlet.
	Like I said, TikTok bans the term White Lives Matter, so you can't even, you know, you're not even able to search for it when you type it in.
	Let's see the phrase as being associated with hateful behavior.
	According to, and now remember, the Chinese own TikTok.
	So all that data, ladies and gentlemen, if you're letting your kids play around on TikTok, all that data is being aggregated Chinese. I wonder if you could look for yellow lives matter.
	I'm sure you could. Black lives matter. I'm sure they have their own channel. So it's one
	of the most centrist in existence TikTok is.
	White lives don't matter is what Paul Joseph Watson said.
	When searching for videos or profiles containing the term white lives matter, users are met with a message which states, no results found.
	This phrase may be associated with hateful behavior.
	TikTok is committed to keeping our community safe and working to prevent the spread of hate.
	For more information, we invite you to review our community guidelines.
	I'm surprised it didn't say, but black lives matter.
	So, what are you doing searching for that, you bigot?
	The very idea that white lives could matter.
	The very idea that you're looking for that is somehow negating black people from being able to sleep on a regular basis.
	TikTok uses the same method to block people from even searching for individuals deemed to be hateful, where banning their accounts isn't enough.
	Mere mention of them must be expunged entirely.
	No chance whatsoever that the term Black Lives Matter would receive similar treatment.
	Indeed, a previous trend that TikTok allowed to feature prominently on the platform was centered on users threatening to violently kneecap people who didn't support BLM.
	What?
	What?
	Yeah.
	You could do that.
	That was okay.
	The platform allowed fake news about Trump resigning to go viral, has censored videos that make fun of Dr. Anthony Fauci, removed videos that highlighted inconsistencies in Amber Heard's testimony, of course, that famously was in Fairfax County.
	The Johnny Depp Amber Heard defamation trial, which I'm sure you were glued to the TV following.
	I paid not one bit of attention to that.
	And also threatened to censor criticism of Joe Biden.
	The term White Lives Matter rose to prominence again last week after Kanye West unveiled a new line of merchandise featuring the slogan and modeled it with Candace Owens.
	It's actually getting quite funny to see a lot of conservatives.
	Stephen Crowder, you might have heard of him before.
	Yes.
	He actually sells White Lives Matter merchandise now.
	Does he?
	Yes!
	For heaven's sake.
	I mean, again, these terms have gone, these terms have now, are entering the lexicon of
	conservatives, anti-white, White Lives Matter, this type of stuff is being discussed.
	When Steve Crowder starts selling 13 slash 65 merchandise.
	Is that what the number is now?
	Yep.
	13 to 50 has now been replaced.
	Yes, yes.
	I wonder if that will ever show up on Steven Crowder, but be that as it may.
	In the meanwhile, PayPal is almost as bad as TikiTok.
	The updated PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, effective November 3rd, includes an expansion on prohibited activities that includes the ending Ascending posting or publication of messages, content, or materials that meet certain criterion.
	These will result in liquidated damages, a fine of $2,500 per violation.
	So you could clean out your bank account in just a few tweets.
	Now, you may not use the PayPal services for activities that relate to the promotion of hate, violence, racial, or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.
	If it's intolerant, hatred, and violence that's not discriminatory, I guess it's okay.
	Actions we may take if you engage in any restricted activities are determined based on PayPal making the decision in our sole discretion.
	So, it's their way or the highway.
	If PayPal believes that you've engaged in any of these activities, it can take $2,500 straight out of your account, assuming you have it.
	I wonder if they come after your other assets if you don't happen to have $2,500 in PayPal.
	So, now, might you be criticizing a religion?
	Or saying things that condemn, say, government officials in ways that some might say provoke hate for the FBI, for example.
	Or praising people who have acted violently, e.g.
	in what you think is justifiable self-defense.
	If you say the Colorado House is right, are you promoting violence?
	If PayPal thinks it's bad, it'll just take your money.
	Now, also, it's interesting to note that Originally, in their first notice that they were changing their user agreement, they said, a notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information.
	PayPal is not fining people for misinformation.
	In other words, you can still say things that are off the plantation in terms of COVID, perhaps.
	You can probably say that the war in Ukraine is not being fought for the reasons we're told it's being fought, etc, etc.
	That may not result in a fine, but $2,500 per infraction You know what a lot of this is coming from?
	It's the work that City Journal and Chris Ruffo have done, not just on critical race theory, but now you've seen this full frontal assault on puberty blockers and those who are trying to drug children, mutilate children.
	We've seen Matt Walsh, who is associated with Daily Wire.
	He did a very good documentary, actually, on what is a woman.
	I mean, this is the type of stuff that when you When you venture into conservative right-wing circles, it is hard to fathom.
	We always joke, I can imagine anything.
	But it is very weird to think about what now is normal in public schools.
	It sure is.
	And to know that you have this fascistic merger between the state and corporate America to push this and to utilize, quote unquote, capitalism and capital to then punish political enemies, which is what PayPal is effectively doing.
	Whenever they nuke someone's account, whether it's Renaissance account, whether it's an individual account who is using that to get donations, now they're going after people who are merely saying, well, maybe it's wrong to do this to children who are five or six and you're going to cause, you know, turn them into... I mean, this is bizarre.
	They haven't said that yet here, but they're probably getting to it.
	They're probably getting to it.
	I don't see anything.
	Well, they could probably turn it into promotion of hate of transgenders if you said you think it's not a good idea.
	I don't know, but they're certainly headed in that direction.
	It is an astonishing state of affairs.
	We have a free enterprise system in which is supposed to be a competitive marketplace, but practically every one of the heavy hitter big deal players all agree and they are working for the government trying to squish dissenters.
	You use Andrew Torbert's platform, Gab, correct?
	I do.
	I believe I just saw the word GabPay has just come out.
	You know, I need to look into that.
	See how that works.
	Yeah, if any of our listeners know, we'll do a quick little segue here.
	Contact us and let us know.
	I saw an email about it.
	I was actually very excited because Gab has been doing some really great things on their platform.
	If you wouldn't mind letting us know, shoot us an email.
	You can shoot me an email at BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	Once again, that's all one word, BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	Corrections, story ideas, criticisms, praise, perhaps?
	But yeah, we'd love to hear from you, or you can Go to amran.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, and hit the Contact Us tab.
	Yes, we particularly like corrections if we have made a mistake.
	Even monkeys fall from the trees, as the Japanese proverb goes.
	And when we make a mistake, we want to hear about it, because we don't realize it before we hit the ground.
	And we'll add you to the New Century Foundation America Resonance newsletter.
	You'll get that once a week and also be Get notices of any important events or conferences that are coming up.
	So, we appreciate you all.
	Yes, we certainly do.
	And there's news from Haiti.
	Well, actually news about Haiti from the Dominican Republic.
	It's building a wall along its border with Haiti, believe it or not, to try to control the stream of Haitians pouring into their country.
	What an idea!
	What an idea!
	It's going to be 13 feet tall and it will run a full 102 miles coast to coast.
	And government officials describe it as a painful necessity to insulate one of the region's successful economies from one of the hemisphere's worst.
	Haiti, which won its independence from France in 1804, has per capita income one-fifth that of the Dominican Republic.
	They share the same island.
	Yes, they do.
	So they've got the same land, the same climate, pretty much the same air.
	The same air, exactly.
	They breathe the same air, and they swim in the same water, but they ain't the same people.
	And so one has a per capita income one-fifth of the other.
	Haiti, of course, is mired in political instability and the grip of powerful, murderous gangs.
	Electricity and gasoline are often scarce.
	Nearly half of Haiti's 11 million people regularly go hungry, says the World Food Program, and people fleeing the country for the Dominican Republic have surged.
	The wall would reduce illegal immigration, drug running, arms trafficking, cattle theft, and The wall.
	Also, are you paying attention, Joe Biden?
	Are you ever paying attention, Joe Biden?
	Well, not just that.
	It makes what Trump said about that shithole island.
	It looks like the Dominican Republic.
	They think the same way of at least the Haitian portion.
	I bet in private conversation they use even more forceful I would be shocked to hear what they would actually say.
	I'd actually like to know.
	I can't wait to go to the Dominican Republic now.
	But this wall will have fiber optics for communication, movement sensors, cameras, radars, and drones.
	It will include the construction of 70 watchtowers.
	They're serious about this, Mr. Kersey.
	And 41 access gates for patrolling up and down.
	Again, Joe Biden, pay attention if you ever pay attention.
	Well, I would actually say Go back to what we were talking about earlier.
	DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, you guys pay attention.
	You can actually go tour the Dominican Republic wall to get some ideas for hopefully a wall to go across the California border, too.
	Of course, Israel has a wall.
	The Indians and the Paki's have walls between them.
	There are many cases of walls.
	The Berlin Wall worked fine for a while.
	Walls work!
	Walls.
	Walls.
	Walls are amazing, actually.
	We have quite a article at the Amaranth website on walls of this kind.
	And with photographs of them, and maps, and a show.
	The Israeli wall was remarkable.
	I think it cut illegal immigration by 99% when they finally finished their fence.
	They call it a fence.
	They're more euphemistic about it.
	And Antifa's been hard at work in Portland.
	There was a coffee with a cop.
	Scheduled as a community event at a coffee shop, and the Antifa folks were so annoyed at the very idea of people having a friendly encounter with a police officer, they went and smashed up the coffee shop.
	Spray-painted it.
	Six masked assailants with sledgehammers and crowbars busted up the place.
	Antifa were celebrating the attack.
	Well, as it turns out, it is a coffee shop owned by a BIPOC lady.
	That fazed them not in the slightest.
	They were still celebrating the great thing that they had done by intimidating these people to think you could possibly have a friendly cup of coffee with a police officer off the pig and all that.
	Mayor Ted Wheeler, on the other hand, says he's upset.
	This BIPOC lady had her coffee shop busted up and he will prosecute the offenders to the fullest extent of the law, says he.
	We'll find out.
	If they can catch them.
	Well, we'll see it when it happens.
	On the other hand, there were Antifa who wanted to know why white-owned coffee shops haven't been attacked.
	Well, that's right.
	Anything white-owned can be attacked at any time.
	And in Odessa, Texas, this is really quite an extraordinary thing here.
	Marcus Dwayne McGowan, one of our African-American fellow citizens, was in the hospital because his girlfriend was in labor.
	He was about to be a daddy.
	And he started acting, quote, odd and unreasonable.
	He grabbed the arm of a nurse, made unintelligible noises, and was asked to leave.
	Instead, he reportedly started running up and down the halls.
	He saw a new mother with a baby in a carrier being discharged and sprinted towards the mother and three nurses, pushed one of the nurses to the ground, and tried to break in to the locked nursery where the newborns are kept before discharge.
	He couldn't get in, so young McGowan snatched the baby from the carrier.
	This is a newborn baby being sent home for the first time and ran into a lactation room.
	A nurse gave chase and saw McGowan strangling the baby.
	This is a newborn baby snatched out of its mother's carrier.
	The infant's face changed color from lack of oxygen before they were able to wrestle the baby away.
	Then he successfully barged into the nursery.
	And there he tried to strangle another newborn.
	McGowan picked up a baby who had turned blue.
	and then began to shake her.
	A therapist said McGowan also shouted die at the infant and made a movement as if he were going to throw the infant to the ground.
	Again, the infant was turning purple.
	One security officer showed up and helped the therapist get the baby away from McGowan.
	He was aggressive towards the officers, led to a bit of a tussle during which he tried to remove one of the officer's firearms from its holster.
	At last reports, Mr. Kersey, young McGowan was in jail, but who knows?
	He could be out on bail these days.
	Of course, Texas is a little bit more firm about some of these matters.
	A little more firm in Texas.
	And no reports as to whether he is an aspiring rapper or a future Democratic state rep, but maybe he will end up in a career in childcare.
	Race of the babies, race of the babies afflicted is not known.
	What was the city one more time?
	Multi-Hispanic?
	Probably.
	Hard to know.
	Probably a lot of Hispanic babies being born there.
	But what a, what a crazy, it is disturbing to think of such people walking amidst us.
	But I often have that feeling when we read the news.
	I have that feeling every day.
	Yes.
	Now, in New Hampshire, here is one of those sad stories about pathetic white people that really raised my blood pressure.
	There was an image circulating social media of a student at Trinity High School in Manchester, New Hampshire, asking a girl to the homecoming party.
	The image featured a boy and a girl standing together and smiling over a sign that reads, if I were black, I'd be picking cotton, but I'm white, so I'm picking you for homecoming.
	Uh-oh, uh-oh.
	The student was a big guy on the football team.
	Well, the superintendent of Catholic schools, the diocese of Manchester, David Thibault.
	In a Saturday statement, he said there was a viral narrative regarding a disciplinary action that was said to have been imposed on the student.
	This narrative is baseless.
	The rumor of a one-day suspension and his being allowed to continue in sports is not accurate and never has been.
	He goes on to say the Trinity administration took action within a matter of hours of receiving a report.
	They kicked him out in a matter of hours.
	There is absolutely no forgiveness for saying, if I were black, I'd be picking cotton, but I'm white, so I'm picking you for homecoming.
	Tybalt said, any student impacted by the events can talk with parents, faculty, the school chaplain, administrative officials, and the counseling department.
	Apparently, there's a whole counseling department for people who have been affected by incidents of this kind.
	T-Bolt said there will be a school-wide discussion, listening sessions, and formation, whatever that is.
	Formation?
	Formation, yes.
	I don't know if they dance or they march around.
	People in the community sleeping together.
	Not in a Catholic high school, no sir!
	He goes on to say, Trinity has a supportive community of faculty and staff, and I had the opportunity to meet with them.
	They care deeply for every student, except for this guy, obviously, and are heartbroken that their students are hurting.
	How many students are really hurting on account of this, huh?
	I want to convey my support for the entire Trinity family.
	Then he goes on to say, I look forward to being on campus next week as we spend time in prayer and in dialogue.
	They're going to get together and pray about this, I guess.
	We should join, all of our listeners should also get together and join in prayer for this because there's a lot of healing that needs to happen.
	Was the girl cute?
	There's a lot of cotton that needs to be picked.
	Was the girl cute?
	She looked cute to me.
	What I want to know, better than a fluff ball of cotton, but what I don't understand is there's no word as to what happened to her.
	What kind of humiliation has she faced?
	Maybe she's unidentified.
	But her, you know, there she is with the guy.
	They're all both happy as can be.
	But no, apparently, as far as I know, she has not yet been punished.
	But they'll think of something for her.
	And this has been a big story.
	You know, sometimes I listen to Spanish language podcasts.
	There is Noticias Telemundo, which I listen to, to brush up on my Spanish.
	It is by the American Spanish Language Service Telemundo.
	There's Univision and Telemundo.
	How good is your Spanish?
	Good enough to understand a news story about something that I already know something about.
	Okay, okay.
	In any case, Council President of Los Angeles Nuri Martinez stepped down from her powerful position Monday morning, a day after incendiary leaked audio from last year exploded into the public on Sunday.
	But she will remain on the legislative body itself.
	However, she reiterated her apologies on Monday.
	She'd already apologized once.
	Once is never enough.
	Twice is never enough.
	Ten a dozen times are never enough.
	She says she's truly ashamed.
	Martinez, along with council members Gil Cedillo, Kevin DeLeon, and Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera, all of the Hispanics, by the way, were present on a call which was recorded.
	We don't know who recorded it, and it was released anonymously.
	In any case, Councilman Gil Cedillo, who was also in the meeting, also issued an apology.
	And I will get to what they said later, but he said, while I did not engage in the conversation in question, I was present during this meeting last year.
	It is my instinct to hold others accountable when they use derogatory or racially divisive language.
	Clearly, I should have intervened, but he didn't.
	I wonder why.
	So now he's all apologizing.
	And another guy, Mr. Herrera, he issued a statement to apologize too for my failure to stand up to racist and anti-black remarks in that moment, adding there's no justification and no excuse for the vile remarks made in that room.
	Now, this is quite a build-up.
	What sorts of things could have been said?
	Well, Martinez, this is the lady, Nuri Martinez, referred to a white councilman, Mike Bonin, I suppose that's how you pronounce his name, it sounds like kind of a stake to me, Bonin, B-O-N-I-N,
	He has an adopted son who is black.
	Okay.
	She referred to this adopted black son as ese changuito.
	Ese changuito.
	Changuito.
	Now, I confess, I did not know what that word meant, but in Spanish it means that little monkey.
	Oh my goodness.
	Not a nice thing to say.
	That's a firing offense.
	Then Mr. De Leon, now this is one of the other Hispanics, referred to Bonin, a West Los Angeles liberal, as the council's fourth black member.
	Another hanging offense.
	And joked with Mr. Martinez that Mr. Bonin carried his adopted son, who is black, as if the toddler were a designer handbag.
	Can't have that!
	That's actually very good.
	There's a joke actually in a movie, Baby Mama, that came out with Tia Leone years ago, where they actually wrote a joke in about how, don't adopt a black baby, all these celebrities just carry it as if they're an accessory.
	And I watched the movie the first time and I thought, wow, that joke, I'm surprised they haven't cut that from Peacock Network, because that's something you can't have.
	Like a designer handbag.
	Well, Ms.
	Martinez, this is the one who resigned as council president or head or whatever it was, complained that on a parade float on Martin Luther King Day, Mr. Bonin had failed to control his son and said the child's antics nearly tipped the float over.
	He was so wild.
	That sounds like quite an energetic toddler to me.
	On the call, she said, they're raising him like a little white kid.
	I think this kid needs a beatdown.
	Let me take him around the corner and then I'll bring him back.
	Also, she said of District Attorney George Gascon, fuck that guy, he's with the blacks.
	That's, that's, I think a lot of people, you know, they had the right.
	She's got him pegged.
	I think there are a lot of people who have that same opinion.
	Yes, she's got him pegged.
	And then of the Indians from the Oaxaca region of Mexico, she described them as short little dark people.
	She's one of these rather white Hispanics, and they are short and they are dark.
	Is it me or does Los Angeles sound like a pretty self-evident place that diversity is not our greatest strength?
	No, diversity is their greatest strength.
	Just ask any of them when they're not being recorded.
	Or when they know they're being recorded.
	And let's see.
	Now this is very interesting too.
	Mr. Herrera, he's the labor union guy, can be heard telling the group, my goal is to get the three of you re-elected.
	And I'm just focused on that.
	We're like a little Latino caucus of our own.
	Nobody seems to care too much about that.
	I mean, they can talk about that until the cows come home.
	I think I saw a picture of the girl.
	She's rather a white-looking Hispanic.
	As I said, she's a white-looking Hispanic, yes.
	Now, Ms.
	Martinez is not up for re-election until 2024.
	Maybe all of this will have blown over.
	But Nithya Raman, a council member of South Asian descent, she says, should not represent Koreatown because it's now largely Latino.
	And that's where she said all of these short little dark people are living in what used to be Koreatown.
	Latinos are by far the largest demographic among the city's 3.8 million residents, but blacks have long wielded greater clout than would be suggested by their 8.8% of the population.
	Asians are a rising force with nearly 12% of the population.
	So clearly, I mean, in this beautiful rainbow coalition of lovely diversity, they are really jockeying for power along racial lines.
	Now, in a joint statement, Mr. Bone-In, With his husband.
	His husband, by the way.
	Sean Arien said that they... Of course.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	Yes, I mean, he is designer handbag all the way.
	He says they were appalled, angry, absolutely disgusted by Ms.
	Martinez's comments and called on her, Mr. DeLeon, and Mr. Herrera to resign.
	The couple added that, quote, it hurts that one of our son's earliest encounters with overt racism comes from some of the most powerful public officials in Los Angeles.
	Hrumpf, hrumpf, hrumpf.
	Ms.
	Rahman, that is the Southeast Asian liberal who won her council seat amid the social justice reckonings of 2020, said the level of blatant racism on display here was shocking and appalling.
	Boy, they learn quick, don't they?
	They show up and they can tell racism whenever they see it.
	Everybody's piling on.
	I guess we can't make any monkeypox jokes, can we?
	Ah boy, absolutely not. That's insulting to monkeys.
	Well we have uh well all of this is so hypocritical.
	I'm sure many people who have to deal with blacks when they are in private and don't think the word's gonna get out, they probably use language that's not dissimilar to the language used by these people.
	But, you know, oh, it comes out everybody's just pure as a houndstooth, clean as clean can be.
	Ah, it's just pitiful.
	In any case, I think in our remaining three minutes, can you fit in a story about, let's see, New York BLM?
	Was that one on your list?
	Maybe I got it wrong.
	I'll be fast!
	Yeah, Albany District Attorney issued a statement on Black Lives and pushed to get Hochul's... Is that the correct pronunciation?
	I don't know how you pronounce it.
	Hochul?
	H-O-C-H-U-L?
	Yeah, that's the governor.
	That's the female governor who replaced when the Italian resigned.
	Yes, for groping.
	Yeah, attention on crime.
	So, the Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul's office issued a response Tuesday after we asked about criticism she's facing from a fellow Democrat, the Albany County DA David Soares.
	Soares issued a video statement Tuesday that he recorded from his office and sent to the media.
	This after two homicides in the city of Albany in a matter of days.
	Quote, Black lives can not only matter when the bullet is discharged from the barrel of a gun coming from a police officer.
	Black lives must matter regardless of where those bullets are coming from, Soares said.
	What an idea!
	What an idea!
	The video continues with him saying, violence as it's happening today in Albany and the state's capital is beyond control.
	End quote.
	Latest in the stream of remarks, Soros has made calling for changes to state laws he says are allowing for criminals to get back out on the street and offend again.
	So this is again a Hispanic who is calling out blacks for, he's a Hispanic guy, right?
	I believe he's black actually.
	Oh, is he black?
	Yeah, he's black.
	What's his name again?
	David Sora.
	Sora Ease.
	Sora Ease.
	Oh, Suarez.
	S-O-A-R-E-S.
	S-O-A-R-E-S.
	Yes, I think that's Suarez.
	Okay.
	He probably sounds like a Hispanic guy.
	Yeah, he might be.
	Yeah, he was a black-looking Hispanic.
	I see.
	Put it that way.
	Maybe he's Dominican.
	Who knows?
	Maybe he's one of the guys who's sending money to build that wall to keep the Haitians out.
	But yeah, just real quick.
	This is the latest in the string.
	Again, The governor of New York is a very liberal state.
	He says that these laws are allowing for criminals to get back out on the street and offend again, making for un-sick neighborhoods since August.
	He's been calling on the governor to ask the state legislator back to Albany for a special session to revisit both bail reform and the raise the age laws.
	In other words, that probably means prosecute these 14-year-old killers as adults.
	Exactly.
	That's exactly right.
	No, I mean, and this is the kind of stuff, when this is happening in left-wing states, people are saying, because There was another story associated with this that said, don't leave Albany.
	Keep your business here because so many people are so fed up with the crime.
	And I mean, this is this will be a major issue in 2024.
	It's been a major issue in 2022.
	And it's really simple.
	People want safe streets.
	And I know they're not going to be mugged when they're going to and from their car to their job or to their home.
	And if Republicans have any sense, they will push this hard.
	Alas, we have come to the end of our time.
