	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
	I am Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
	It is November 10th, Year of Our Lord 2022.
	And we'd like to begin with a delightful letter that we received from a listener.
	She identifies herself only as Amy from California and does not offer us a return address, so we cannot write her directly to thank her.
	But Amy from California, I hope you're listening.
	Thank you so much for your delightful package of materials and suggestions as to stories that we should cover on this podcast.
	Also, I would like to read some of the letter that you so kindly sent to the American Renaissance team.
	He wrote, I've spent the majority of my life trying to be open-minded and tolerant, but with each passing decade, I can't ignore the social condition of different races.
	Some of these people are a menace and a portent.
	The past few years of madness have swept away my mawkish sentiment regarding race relations.
	Where I live, these questions are not debated, so I started searching online and found American Renaissance.
	Well, Amy, we are so pleased you found us, and we're so pleased that you listened to our podcast.
	I have enclosed a donation and a late birthday present for Mr. Taylor.
	Can you share what the birthday present was?
	Oh, I can release that.
	It is what I conceive to be a toothpick holder.
	It's a very nice little bronze statue of a figure holding a basket and you put the toothpicks into the basket and it would appear to me that is a statue of a rather handsome African gentleman.
	Ah!
	It is on my table, and if you ever come by for a meal one of these days, you can take a picnic out of my birthday present.
	So, Amy in California, again, thank you so much.
	We really appreciate your words of encouragement, and we hope that our podcast will continue to be a useful thing for you.
	Let me ask you a question.
	I know you've got a conference coming up next week, but how can people reach the AR team via snail mail?
	By snail mail.
	Yeah, like Amy did.
	It's Box 527, Oakton, Virginia, 22124.
	An easier way to get to us, if you are not going to be sending me
	a late birthday present, for which again, I am deeply grateful,
	is to approach us by internet.
	And you can go to www.amren.com, A-M-R-E-N dot com, and hit the Contact Us tab.
	The other way to do it is... Simple.
	Easy.
	Email.
	Go to whatever email provider you use.
	Hit the 2.
	Because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
	Once again, send an email to BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com and we'll make sure to add you to the email list.
	I know I had actually a couple people say that they weren't getting the email, so I'm going to make sure that that award-winning email gets to your email box, the individual who said that.
	And Mr. Taylor, Just to put a bow on this conversation, is there still room available to go to the 2022 conference?
	There is.
	There is.
	We are pushing the limits, but we have not exceeded the limits.
	And on the home page, there is an ad year.
	There is still time to register.
	And as I always say to those who inquire, be there or be square.
	You can tell that I was born in the 1950s.
	Now, we have another comment I live in suburban St.
	Louis and I can confirm Paul Kersey's remarks about how the housing stock of the inner city is being dismantled by brick thieves, brick by brick.
	Just as in your segment about this South African school that completely disappeared right down to the foundations.
	In all fairness, it should be pointed out that the ancient ruins of Rome were not torn down by Teutonic invaders who preferred portable plunder, but over the centuries by the people who lived there looking for building materials or saleable pieces of marble or metal.
	Of course, that was after the fall of the empire and the collapse of law and order.
	I guess you could say the same about St.
	Louis and South Africa.
	So we have a history of student.
	I'm sorry, a history.
	We have a student of history.
	Right.
	A student of history.
	And our student of history refers to another example, the Pruitt-Ego public housing project in St.
	Louis, which was destroyed from within by vandalism and theft of copper plumbing and anything else that can be sold while it was still occupied.
	It was demolished about 20 years after being built.
	It's an interesting story.
	Wikipedia tries to place the blame on poor maintenance and, quote, architectural flaws that created a hostile and unsafe environment.
	Our listener goes on to say, I guess that's like how guns cause crime.
	A very good parallel.
	Very good.
	I like this commenter.
	We'd be happy to hear more from you, whoever you are, wherever you are.
	But I suppose everybody's expecting us to say something about the midterm elections, and I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you perhaps by not saying a great deal.
	Everybody's talking about them, which disimplines me to do so.
	The only thing that I really feel like saying is that, as usual, this great anticipated shift of non-whites to the Republicans certainly did not much turn out.
	There was a little bit of that In Florida, of course, but Florida is where the Cubans are and they do not vote the way the rest of the Hispanics do.
	I believe in the case of blacks, it was still 90% Dem, 10% Republican.
	The Republicans, fools that they are, are always trying, trying, trying to get that extra 2% of black votes as if they were ever going to get them.
	Do you have any brief words?
	Yeah, I'll tell you the most important thing to say is this.
	In 2018, Then, a candidate for Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, won by less than 30,000 votes.
	He garnered 60% of the white vote in that election.
	I can't remember what percentage of the electorate whites made up in Florida at that time, but it was close to 70, I believe.
	So, getting the white vote is what matters in Florida.
	This past election, where he won 58-40, he dominated, it's an unreal victory, he got 4% more of the white vote.
	And again, ladies and gentlemen, Whites make up, I believe, about 70% of the electorate in Florida, which means if you get more of the percentage than you did last time, that means you're going to get a heck of a lot more votes.
	In effect, he needn't worry about the Hispanic voters.
	Exactly.
	As long as he makes enough, whites happy.
	And if you make that much of an inroad with the white vote, no one's talking about that in Florida.
	And it's the stuff we've talked about DeSantis and you go back and 30,000 votes separated him from Andrew Gillum in 2018.
	A gentleman who... gentleman's a wrong word.
	We found he was found in a hotel room I believe a couple years after that when he was actually being courted to be a vice presidential candidate.
	People thought that this guy was one of the black shining stars of the Democratic Party.
	Let us say he was found in compromising circumstances.
	Compromising is understated, but we'll leave it at that.
	We'll leave it at that.
	Well, okay.
	Very good.
	Well, now you have a story about something else that happened on the election day in Idaho.
	Yeah, this is headline simple.
	We've talked about this subject a lot.
	I think we're going to see a lot more of this start to pop up, hopefully in Western Maryland.
	Maybe push for breaking New York into two states.
	Campaign to extend Idaho's western border gained more Oregon support.
	Two more eastern Oregon counties appeared to join the growing Long Shot campaign to extend Idaho's western border.
	To add their region to the state, initial midterm returns indicated.
	Oregon's Morrow and Wheeler counties each voted Tuesday to support the so-called Greater Idaho Movement, which proposes exiting Oregon to enter the boundaries of its eastern neighbor, Idaho.
	If results hold, that means 11 Oregon counties have adopted the idea since the concept's launch in 2020.
	Now, Mr. Taylor and all of our listeners, you've seen the map of this past election.
	It is really just these islands and major cities on the eastern seaboard.
	Baltimore, Philadelphia, Richmond, the Chapel Hill, the Triangle area in North Carolina where it's blue.
	Then on the west coast, it's Oregon.
	I'm sorry, it's Portland, Oregon.
	It's Seattle, Washington.
	And then the eastern portion of the state is solidly red.
	We'd love to hear if there's a listener who lives in Morrow or Wheeler County.
	What exactly is motivating this push?
	I think we can imagine.
	I think we can imagine.
	I call them islands of urban insanity.
	And the people who live out in the continents of rural sanity, they don't want to be governed by the people who live in those islands of urban insanity.
	Well, here's the point, of course.
	The people who are in Oregon, they don't want to be governed by Salem.
	They want to be governed by the people who are Idahoans.
	Boise.
	Yes.
	Yeah, and that's actually what the next paragraph says.
	It's the unorthodox effort is rooted in the partisan divide within Oregon.
	Loosely along the eastern and western part of the state, western Oregon includes the largest city, Portland.
	It's politically left-leaning, this is how this newspaper article describes Portland, but eastern Michigan, Oregon aligns more closely with conservative right-wing neighbor Idaho.
	Quote, we call on the legislature to let each half of the state go their separate ways in peace.
	Mike McCarter, greater Idaho leader, said in a Wednesday news release, it should simply stop holding our counties captive Again, it doesn't need bombastic language.
	All you have to do is say, hey listen, we don't need a national divorce, what we need is a state divorce.
	You guys have your politics, we have ours.
	The great thing about this is, it does not even have to involve the feds at all.
	An exchange of counties can take place if both states agree.
	And the way the people in the islands of urban insanity think of rural white people, the people in Salem and Portland should be delighted to see them go.
	You think so?
	But I bet they won't be.
	You think?
	Well, that's the same thing with Buckhead in Atlanta.
	You think that the blacks would be happy to be like, oh gosh, we don't have to worry about having a potential white mayor for a white mayoral candidate anymore to deal with from Buckhead.
	No, no, no.
	But their tax revenue.
	We need Oh, yes, and we need people who actually can, as I said before, fix the sewer system, deal with high-tension wires, you know, actually fight forest fires.
	We actually need a few of those redneck white people.
	In any case, let's see, this is an interesting story, and it was something that occurred to me immediately after Mr. Pelosi had this unexpected nighttime visitor.
	And I was thinking to myself, as we found out, that the Canadian who attacked him was an illegal immigrant, this David DePape guy.
	He crossed into the United States.
	Well, actually, he legally came into the United States because he has the right to live in the U.S.
	for six months, being a Canadian.
	He overstayed by about ten years.
	No one seems to have noticed.
	He's been living happily ever after, if somewhat strangely.
	And I was thinking to myself, well, San Francisco is a sanctuary city.
	I wonder how they'll feel about this when the INS puts a retainer on them.
	Well, I found out.
	We all found out.
	Officials from Homeland Security want to deport the guy after the legal proceedings are over, but San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, another one of our high-profile African-Americanesses, said Thursday that she will refuse to turn him over, citing sanctuary city policies.
	San Francisco is a sanctuary city and our policy is sacred, she says.
	Even if you attack the husband of the Democrat Speaker of the House, we still want to keep you.
	We want you here.
	We want to grasp, put our arms around you and hug you to our bosom.
	You're more American than our Americans.
	Oh boy, we love you so much.
	If local law enforcement were to comply with the ice hole, they would turn the paper over to federal agency to be shipped back to Canada after his criminal cases wrap up.
	But...
	Jenkins, the DA says, we will not be collaborating or coordinating with ICE.
	Boy, I thought they would surely make an exception for this guy.
	On the other hand, she says, now this is where the true feelings about Nancy Pelosi come to the fore.
	She says, based on the charges we have filed, Mr. DePape is facing life in prison.
	So they won't have to worry about what happens to him once he gets out.
	Now, I don't think he's going to get life in prison, but we'll have to see about that.
	Canadian travelers, of course, as I pointed out, they can come without visas and stay for six months, but we have such lax border control that they can stay for 10 years and march into the home of the Speaker of the House and start flailing away with hammers.
	On another story, on the other side of the world, a migrant rescue ship with more than 200 people on board is headed to France on Tuesday after Italy refused it permission to dock.
	Good old Georgia Maloney, her two-week-old government, has told the charity vessels to take a walk and take their rescued people to other countries.
	And the spokesman for the French charity vessel SOS Méditerranée said, after Italy's silence, we ask French maritime authorities to assign a port to the 234 survivors.
	They have been at sea for 18 days.
	Now, what I never understand about these things.
	They've been at sea for 18 days.
	I don't know how many of those days they were in the original vessel, that founder, they picked them up.
	Now, why can't they just take them back to where they started?
	This is the aspect of it that just baffles me.
	It's simple.
	Take them back where they came from.
	That would solve the problem.
	Correct.
	It has spent the last few days off Sicily hoping to unload these unwanted people onto the Sicilians, but Giorgia Maloney said, Vamos!
	Spanish charity, Salvamento Maritimo Humanitario, said it would postpone a planned sea rescue mission due to the risk of its ship being seized by Italian authorities.
	Good news!
	Humanitarian groups say Italy's policies are likely to mean more migrant deaths.
	While Rome says, if there are fewer charity boats picking up those leaving the shores of Africa, there will be fewer crossings and fewer deaths.
	Exactly my sentiment.
	I agree.
	Wasn't there a documentary that Laura Southern did where they tried to show what was happening with these charities that were, these NGOs that were helping fund and Well, there's a certain amount of coordination, you know.
	They will stand just a few miles outside the territory, the waters of Libya, and they say, okay, time to get in the water.
	And so they'll be paddling around in inner tubes, practically, and in swoop these charitable NGOs, and they pluck them out of the water and take them to the happy hunting grounds in Italy.
	It's ridiculous.
	Awful stuff.
	No more.
	No mas.
	Well, no.
	And let's see.
	Italy's transport minister, Matteo Salvini.
	He's now transport minister.
	I hope he... Again, I don't understand why you can't just transport them back.
	But he said... In due time.
	He said, on words like this, Italy will not be an accomplice to human trafficking.
	Is anyone starting to get this?
	Well it sounds like some of them are.
	These ships that are not going to sail because they're afraid the ships would be confiscated.
	The fact is, Italy has seen a sharp increase in migrant arrivals, with almost 88,700 people
	landing in 2022 against 56,000 the same period last year.
	That's 87,000 as opposed to 56,500.
	And about 15% of these were picked up by these do-gooder charity boats.
	However, I was disappointed to see that a boat called Rise Above.
	Do you remember that name?
	That was a name of one of these allegedly white supremacist groups that got in trouble.
	These people got all locked up for all sorts of conspiracies that pale in comparison to what Antiva is up to.
	But in any case, the boat is called Rise Above.
	And it was a ship managed by a German charity.
	It was allowed into port at Reggio Calabria.
	That is in Sicily, on Tuesday, where it let 89 people off that it had plucked from the frigid waters of the Mediterranean.
	So, Giorgia Maloney is not being 100% effective here.
	But again, simple solution.
	Take them back to where they came from.
	It's really simple.
	The Transportation Secretary needs to change his name.
	Change the title to the Repatriation Secretary.
	Yes, or the Reverse Transportation.
	Yes.
	But it's all part of the same business.
	Now here, this is an interesting little story out of our 51st state.
	Wasn't Hawaii the 51st state?
	15th state.
	Yes, silly me.
	What are you, Barack Obama saying we have 57 states?
	I'm turning into Barack Obama.
	I guess I'm thinking about Washington D.C.
	They want to become the 51st.
	That or Puerto Rico is something people are pushing.
	In any case, lawyers representing two native Hawaiian men Don't dispute they brutally assaulted a white man who bought a house in their remote village on the island of Maui.
	This is this anti-Hawley hatred that the Hawaiians have been stoking up for years.
	They acknowledge that the 2014 attack was wrong, but they said it wasn't a hate crime, as U.S.
	prosecutors allege.
	Trial began just this week for Kaulana Alokanohi and Levi Aki, who are charged with one federal count each of hate crimes.
	Now what Alokanohi Did.
	He punched and kicked Christopher Kunzelman.
	That's the white guy.
	And Aki hit him with a shovel when Kunzelman was trying to fix up this bungalow in Kahakuloa Village.
	The locals just did not want... they just didn't want gentrification.
	Well... Colonization.
	That's what they probably would have called it.
	Alo Kuanohi dragged his finger along Kunzelman's face and said his skin was the wrong color.
	The attack left Kunzelman with a concussion, two broken ribs, and head and abdominal trauma, and the prosecution said it would never have happened had it not been for his race.
	So what's the defense here?
	They say It wasn't his race that sparked the attack, so it can't be a hate crime.
	They blamed his actions.
	They said he acted entitled and he had a disrespectful attitude.
	Now, they call him white and they say it's the wrong color.
	Now, the attack was provoked by belief that Kunsman didn't have a valid easement to the property.
	I guess they thought he was trespassing, just getting to it.
	And because he is alleged to have cut village, cut the chains on village gates.
	I don't know what that's all about.
	In any case, this is the aspect of this surprises me as much as anything else.
	Kawanohe pleaded no contest to felony assault in state court back in July 2019 and was sentenced to probation.
	Probation?
	Probation.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Here this guy ends up with broken ribs and all sorts of beat up, hit in the head with a shovel.
	The trial in U.S.
	District Court in Honolulu is now only to determine if they're guilty of a hate crime.
	And if they are guilty of a hate crime, they face up to 10 years in the big house.
	So there you go.
	They didn't want white people and they start beating up a white guy who comes to fix up a house.
	But that's not a hate crime.
	That's not a hate crime.
	It's stopping the colonization.
	I mean, look, there's a movie coming out tonight.
	I'm sure you're going to go see Black Panther.
	Wakanda forever, and that's all about colonizers.
	Remember the first one?
	Colonialists.
	I guess these people are Maori forever.
	Exactly.
	No howlies, no howlies on our island.
	Well, in any case, I believe you had a story up your sleeve that is one that really irritates me for some reason.
	This wouldn't irritate you, but for our listeners who might not be familiar with that term you just used, Haule?
	Yeah.
	That's a derisive term that Hawaiians, indigenous, use for white people.
	That's right.
	And if you are half white, you're a Hapa Haule.
	They got names for us.
	They have names for us.
	Is Tulsa Gabbard a Hapi Hapa?
	I don't think she's a Hapi Hapi Hapi Hapi Hapa Haule.
	I don't know.
	I think she's more than Hapa.
	Okay.
	But be that as it may, and isn't she Samoan?
	She's not an Islander anyway.
	Oh, that's right.
	She's even worse than, probably in the eyes of the native Hawaiians.
	Oh, I don't know.
	These Islanders stick together.
	But no, tell us about this miserable business about interest rates.
	Yeah, well, speaking of sticking together, this is from the Washington Free Beacon, and this is under the headline.
	How Business Giants Get Lower Interest Rates for Meeting Diversity Quotas.
	Race-Conscious Credit Agreements Are Incentivizing Illegal Hiring Practices Across Corporate America.
	Very good article here, which states, amid an uptick in race-conscious hiring programs, many prominent businesses are now writing racial and gender quotas into their credit agreements with banks.
	Tying the cost of borrowing to the company's workforce diversity, i.e.
	fewer white people employed.
	This is just incredible to me.
	Well, the businesses that have struck such agreements include the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, the consulting groups Ernst & Young, AECOM, Insurers Prudential, and Dfinity Financial, private equity firms BlackRock, which is one of the big proponents of the ESG movement, and the Carlyle Group.
	Including as well as the technology company Trimble and the telecommunications giant Telefonica.
	I guess is that the company that what's the Lebanese Mexican owns?
	No, I don't think so.
	Carlos Slim?
	Yeah.
	Does he own Telefonica?
	I don't think so.
	The Mexicans wouldn't sign on to anything like that.
	Okay.
	I don't think so.
	In any case, Telefonica, huh?
	Yep.
	So, over the past two years, each of the companies have secured a lending agreement known as a credit facility, which links the interest rate charged by the banks to the company's internal diversity targets, creating a financial incentive to meet them.
	If the business achieves its targets, it won't have to pay as much interest on the loans it takes out.
	Conversely, if it falls short, it's required to pay more.
	So it's sort of a racial balloon payment in a lot of ways.
	This is just incredible to me.
	The more non-whites you hire, the more you manage to keep white people out of your company, the less you pay in interest.
	Correct.
	What company would agree to a deal like this?
	BlackRock, Pfizer, Prudential, to name a few, Telefonica, Trimble.
	I guess these people, they were probably already going to phase out white people anyway.
	Oh, of course.
	So they're figuring, okay, well, let's just get a little extra dough while we do it.
	Under the terms of BlackRock's $4.4 billion credit facility, for example, Wells Fargo will lower the firm's interest rate by 0.05% if it hits two benchmarks.
	A 30% increase in the share of black and Hispanic employees by 2024 and a 3% increase in the share of female executives each year.
	Or hike the rate by the same amount if it misses both.
	Punished for hiring white people.
	That's the way we want America to look.
	Celebrated and a lower interest rate if you hire fewer of your pale faces.
	So what happens if a white guy identifies as black?
	I don't know.
	That's a good question.
	The least they can do is identify as LGBTQ.
	Nothing about that right now.
	How do they check?
	Camera in the bedroom, I guess.
	Love is love, right?
	Doesn't matter.
	I say I'm gay.
	Don't say gay, right?
	The agreements which typically involve multiple banks are effectively credit cards for businesses.
	Rather than make a one-time loan, lenders extend a continuous line of credit that companies can dip into at will.
	Either to cover operating costs or as a rainy day fund for emergencies.
	That means changes in the facility's interest rate, even modest one like BlackRock's 0.05% diversity adjustment, can have an appreciable effect on a business's bottom line.
	Companies have advertised these agreements as proof of their progressive tendencies.
	And they're bragging about it.
	Trimble CEO Rob Painter, for example, said the company's credit facility, which can disinterest rate on the percentage of female employees, illustrates Trimble's commitment to gender diversity in the workplace.
	In press releases announcing their own credit facilities, executives at BlackRock Prudential and DFINITY say the agreements demonstrate their commitment to accountability.
	That's a sinister word if you think about it.
	Accountability. Accountability to what? Make sure that white men or white women, I mean, again, if it's about
	increasing racial diversity in the workforce, it doesn't matter if it's a white male or white female that's
	losing their job.
	If they're losing their job to a non-white, you're getting closer and closer to hitting that benchmark, which gives
	you a lower interest rate.
	Critics see something far more sinister, a form of blatant discrimination that will harm consumers, credit markets, and the rule of law.
	Quote, if a bank penalized a company's credit rating because it had too many women or was too racially diverse, we would be appalled, said one senior government regulator who managed a nine-figure credit facility as a lawyer in private practice.
	This is the exact same thing, except the penalized target is white men.
	And white women.
	Again, if it's 30%, it doesn't matter.
	If you have to hit a bunch of both marks, you can't do both.
	They're not mutually exclusive.
	So, the credit contracts will divert resources away from consumers.
	I would also say they're going to divert resources away, potentially, from shareholders.
	Yes.
	Profitability.
	Yes.
	Shareholders have, as a BlackRock shareholder, I'm a BlackRock shareholder.
	I bought when they were announced as the private equity firm that would be administering the PPP loans.
	And I had a feeling that their value was going to go up, up, up, up, and it has.
	But yeah again as shareholders you have a lot of rights and looking at this type of stuff this is insane because it is going to impact the the bottom line and you know the fiduciary responsibility for the executives of these companies it comes down to the shareholders.
	Well I wonder if there'll be any shareholder Here's the final line.
	The credit contracts will divert resources away from consumers, critics say, and toward diversity initiatives, where the promise of discounted loans will encourage the use of illegal hiring quotas, i.e.
	fewer and fewer white people.
	They will also hurt companies that don't negotiate a diversity discount on their loans because these firms will face higher borrowing costs than their competitors, a dynamic that could steer industries toward race conscious, i.e.
	anti-white policies.
	Now, the kicker is BlackRock, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, they were all contacted by the Washington Free Beacon.
	Got nothing.
	No comment.
	They're mum.
	They're mum.
	Mum's my word.
	Well, here is something that is supposed to be called a glimmer of good news.
	There was to be a class offered at University of Chicago called The Problem of Whiteness, and this is from its description.
	Critical race theorists have shown that whiteness has long functioned as an unmarked racial category, saturating a default surround against which non-white or not-quite-others appear as aberrant.
	A default surround.
	Yet in recent years, whiteness has resurfaced as a conspicuous problem within liberal political discourse.
	That's the only place it's a conspicuous problem, boys and girls.
	This seminar examines the problem of whiteness through an anthropological lens, drawing from classic and contemporary works of critical race theory.
	Attending to the ways in which various forms of social positioning and historical phenomena intersect in the formation of racial hierarchy, we will approach whiteness as a pigment of the imagination.
	With world-making and raising effects.
	Wait, you said pigment, not figment.
	A pigment of the imagination.
	That sounded like a clever pun.
	That's awful.
	Well, apparently, after backlash from many articles and a torrent of comments on the university's social media accounts, this class has been cancelled.
	So, they're not going to learn about the pigment of the imagination with world-making and world-destroying effects.
	There's an incredible student at the University of Chicago who came out and talked about how just anti-white the university is.
	He's got a program that I can't... I'll figure out his name before the end of the show, but he was the one who brought attention to this.
	And there was a massive backlash.
	Again, it's little events that we think are just, you know, someone throwing a pebble into, you know, a quiet stream and you see those concentric circles go out.
	This kid has done a phenomenal job in taking a lot of heat when he came out and said, as
	a freshman in university, this school is anti-white.
	And that's what he said and he's the one who brought attention to this.
	So the more you bring attention to this stuff, ladies and gentlemen, courage is contagious.
	The more you call attention to it, the angrier Leonard Pitts gets.
	Leonard Pitts is a black columnist, and I will quote from... Pulitzer Prize winning columnist, I believe.
	Oh, could be.
	I think he and Cynthia Tucker both won Pulitzers.
	Oh, did they?
	Remember her?
	Cynthia Tucker, yes, another lovely African-Americanist who just never saw a white man that she couldn't despise.
	As he writes, Leonard Pitts, some of our white brethren in Cistern.
	Cistern, you know, that's another great word.
	Repeating for emphasis, some are shameless beyond words and clueless beyond parody.
	There is a recent political ad, and then he goes on to describe the ad that we talked about last week, I believe, the one that Stephen Miller's group put together, talking about anti-white racism.
	And it says, since when is anti-white racism become acceptable?
	Well, Leonard Pitts goes on to say, you probably haven't seen it if you're not in Georgia, but our attention today is on how it tries to neutralize the language of liberal protest by co-opting it, i.e.
	reframing racism as something suffered by white folks.
	You see, that's absolutely impossible.
	You know, you can kill them, you can insult them, you can rape them, you can rob them, but it'll never be racism!
	It just can't be, by definition.
	Now, he goes on to say, it's a rhetorical trick the white right has used for years, which is not to say it has lost its power to infuriate.
	This narrative that racism is a both-sides phenomenon may be comfort food for them, but is liable upon my ancestors, says Leonard Pitts.
	I don't know how that works.
	How does it insult his ancestors?
	I'm not sure.
	I can't figure that out.
	One wishes, says he, that these people could be black.
	In other words, so they could experience all the horrible racism blacks suffer every day, every moment.
	They walk outside the street, BAM!
	Racist.
	Walk into a grocery store, BAM!
	Racist.
	Oh boy.
	But Leonard Pitts says, but for their sake it's probably best they can't experience the racism blacks feel.
	If they could, they'd have to deal with white people like themselves and they couldn't handle it.
	Oh, the dripping contempt for white people.
	God, they get away with this stuff all the time.
	Pulitzer Prize winning commentary writing wise man.
	He's a repulsive person.
	I think he wrote for the Miami Herald at one point.
	I think that's where he's a staff columnist.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Oh boy.
	Well, I guess, you know, you keep wondering if it's so awful.
	It's just so awful.
	Why do they stay?
	But anyway.
	Now, the fact is, there was an article in the American Mind.
	This was put out by the Claremont Institute.
	Some of the best thought-out stuff emerges from the Claremont Institute these days.
	And it says, more ads like this may be coming.
	This is the Stephen Miller ad.
	He goes on to say, it is remarkable.
	That a commercial explicitly advocating equal treatment under the law would somehow be seen as racial provocation.
	But welcome to 2022.
	You could probably say welcome to 1990.
	Welcome to 1964.
	What year was the dispossessed majority written?
	Oh, 73?
	There you go.
	You can say 73.
	The underlying claims made in the commercial are true.
	Of course they are.
	Biden did develop a program during COVID to help restaurants that excluded all white male restaurant owners.
	White people really were deprioritized for life-saving COVID vaccines and treatments in a way that could not be justified by any racial, ethnic, biological susceptibility.
	The administration did extend $5 billion in aid to non-white farmers, which was blocked by a federal judge.
	Otherwise it would have gone through.
	Correct.
	The Democrats are in countless ways developing policies that actively discriminate against white Americans.
	And these are the sorts of things that were mentioned in the ad.
	Uh, the author goes on to say, to be fully accurate, the ad would need 30 minutes rather than 30 seconds to catalog the range of anti-white policies of the Biden administration, which builds on decades of such policies now being enacted by the Democrats at an accelerating pace.
	Leonard Pitts says, impossible, unthinkable, that if you actually think that you are shameless beyond words and clueless beyond parody.
	I like that.
	Not bad, Leonard.
	This guy in the Claremont Institute goes on to say, within days of its release, the ad had gone viral, being viewed millions of times on YouTube.
	I wish ours were viewed millions of times.
	Speech commissars were outraged by the portrayal of white Americans as a legitimate interest group with equal rights and actual grievances, rather than simply an avatar of privilege.
	No word among the complainers on whether the claims are accurate or why telling voters the truth should be a crime.
	The NAACP went even further and sent a letter to the stations in question demanding that they take down the ads adding the race-baiting advertisements are obviously false.
	Misrepresentations that form the bulk of the advertisement already have been publicly debunked.
	No.
	They are not.
	No.
	NAACP goes on to say, such advertisements are an impediment to the democratic process.
	The NAACP assumes that contrary political statements or opinions are impediments to democracy.
	This is a widespread assumption on the American left.
	America First Legal, that's the company or the group that Stephen Miller started.
	They are a gut check for the right because you can bet that the GOP's surrender caucus will be quick to disavow them if pressed to do so.
	You know, I think maybe one or two would say the ads were correct.
	I don't know.
	You saw Governor Yunkin in Virginia just send apology letters.
	To whom?
	To the Speaker of the House, because they kind of did some jokes about the attack on her husband.
	And now they're saying, oh, we're so sorry.
	Well, I mean, I didn't see the letters and I didn't see the jokes.
	But joking about, what is it, Paul Pelosi being hit with a hammer and knocked out with a brain fracture?
	That's not funny business.
	People should not make fun of their enemies in quite such a way.
	So, the Claremont Institute says, will conservatives continue to accept the left's Orwellian definition in which state-sponsored racism is equity?
	Or will they, like the America First Legal Foundation, demand equal treatment under the law?
	Well, there you go.
	Well, and adding to this whole question, I believe you have a report on the number of companies in which the word's gone out Don't hire Whitey.
	Yeah, unfortunately the computer that I was working on had not plugged in.
	I don't recall the website this was on.
	I think it was like Resume Builder or something, but it's an interesting story.
	Over the past six years, companies big and small have been making public their efforts to improve DEI.
	Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
	I, of course, believe it should be D.I.E.
	as it more accurately illustrates what the whole initiative is about.
	The title of the story is 1 in 6 hiring managers have been told to simply stop hiring white men.
	Isn't that something?
	1 in 6.
	Yeah.
	Gotta stop hiring white men.
	Yeah.
	But that's just fine.
	They've got to get those numbers down to one of three.
	That's still too large.
	That's not enough of them.
	When even one white man gets a job, that is an insult to DEI.
	Exactly.
	As detailed by Glassdoor, many companies have made the connection that DEI is not only good for society, but also good for business.
	However, in recent months, there's been a buzz around what some are terming reverse discrimination in hiring, wherein companies are passing over members of racial and gender majorities in service of meeting DEI benchmarks, or as we learned just a few moments ago of what's happening at BlackRock and these other institutions, racial credit swaps, basically.
	Could you call it a racial credit default swap or something?
	No, no, no.
	A racial interest rate swap.
	No, there's nothing to it.
	It's just a discriminatory lending practice.
	You get a lower rate if you discriminate against white people.
	Now, they point out that with the Supreme Court hearing arguments against affirmative action, these same issues continue to be debated across multiple realms.
	To find out how many believe race discrimination is really an issue affecting the workplace, ResumeBuilder.com surveyed 1,000 hiring managers across the U.S.
	just this past week.
	Here's the key conclusions.
	52% believe their company practices reverse discrimination in hiring.
	That's pretty good.
	Well, they're supposed to.
	But they're mandated to do it.
	1 in 6 have been asked to deprioritize hiring white men.
	Again, like I said, that number should be 1 in 3.
	1 in 1.
	Exactly.
	Everybody does it.
	48% have been asked to prioritize diversity over qualifications.
	And these are the people who actually admit it.
	53% believe their job will be in danger if they don't hire enough diverse employees.
	Think about that for a second again.
	More than half believe their job as a hiring manager will be in jeopardy if they fail to hire enough non-white employees.
	Money talks.
	70% believe their company has DEI initiatives for appearance's sake.
	52% of hiring managers believe their company practices reverse discrimination in hiring, as stated.
	So, additionally, 48% say they have been told to prioritize diversity over qualifications when considering an applicant, quote, in this evolving and competitive workplace, companies have to respond to the demands of workers, which includes modifying their hiring practices, commented career expert Stacey Haller.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	The employees are demanding this?
	Are the white employees saying, don't hire any more white people?
	I'm sick and tired of white people.
	She then goes on to say, with all the rapid changes organizations need to meet, it is mostly middle management that implements the policies.
	And with many organizations, the support and tools provided to them are not yet there.
	Especially when it comes to DEI, meaning we need more non-white middle managers so they know they've got to be part of that effort to get to that one-on-one ratio where we're prioritizing hiring non-whites.
	One in six, that gap, that racial gap has to close.
	That's no good.
	Well, dear me, now here's a sad story from Ireland.
	From the town of Killarney.
	Doesn't that sound Irish as can be?
	A city councillor has claimed that her constituents have been left afraid to walk the streets after an influx of asylum seekers.
	What city is this?
	Killarney.
	Killarney.
	Migrants now make up over one-fifth of the population.
	A number of city councillors have warned that people are living in fear as a result of this influx of migrants.
	The surge mirrors a nationwide increase in the number of non-Ukrainian asylum seekers.
	This is a nice way of saying, no doubt, non-whites.
	I couldn't get really any story here as to where they are from, but they're not from the Ukraine.
	And I bet they're not from any European country.
	Such arrivals have been boosted by the open borders policies of the country's government, with Ireland's Justice Minister, Helen McEntee, earlier this year implementing a near-blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants already in Ireland.
	So, overall, more than 3,200 asylum seekers are in town, which, before the influx, only had a population of 10,360 people.
	Got that?
	10,360 people and they've got 3,200 asylum seekers on them.
	Now why they chose Killarney, what they're doing there, where they're from, I do not know.
	But another city councilor, Donald Grady, told the press, the migrants are the ones causing all the trouble.
	They do not respect our town.
	I guess they love it enough to come, but I'm sure they're kicking the place around just as much as they possibly can.
	Now, here's a story from Abilene, Texas about slavery.
	We thought we'd abolished it, but Hai Zhuang has reinstituted it.
	He's the owner of an Abilene restaurant charged with human trafficking, accused of holding an illegal immigrant in a home and forcing him to work with no money or food for six months.
	I'd rather doubt that about the food.
	I think he must have given him some food.
	So Hai Zhuang was arrested on a trafficking of persons warrant just yesterday in connection with this and he's held in jail on $200,000 bond.
	An undocumented immigrant gave a statement to the Texas Attorney General's office outlining the allegations.
	He was smuggled into the United States from Honduras in January 2021 and he's been held in captivity since then.
	He was taken to a stash house in Houston before being brought to Abilene.
	When he arrived, this immigrant, he said, this immigrant showed up at something called the Fun Noodle Bar.
	And he saw Juan, who is his owner, exchange a large sack of money with the man who brought him there.
	I mean, that doesn't sound possible either.
	He was then forced to work 10 to 12 hours a day without even a bathroom break.
	I mean, that doesn't sound possible either.
	No.
	This guy must have a giant bladder.
	Forcing him to steal, he was often not fed, forcing him to steal scraps of food that customers left on
	their plates.
	What a way to live.
	He said he was beaten by Zhuang, and when he asked for payment, Zhuang told him that he owned him now, according to the document.
	So he's in there for two years, but he finally was whittled out.
	I assume this guy is a Central American.
	It does not say what his name was.
	His name is being withheld, as is his nationality.
	Speaking of names, I told you I was going to find the name of that University of Chicago student who came under intense scrutiny for calling out the anti-white policies and classes and climate on the campus of University of Chicago.
	His name is Daniel Schmidt.
	You might remember this.
	He did a 40-minute interview with Tucker earlier this year where they talked about, and this is his pinned tweet on Twitter, We talked about how porn damages young men, why anti-white sentiment is so pervasive, why marrying early is the best, and much, much more.
	I recommend to all of our listeners, if you have a Twitter account, follow at Real D Schmidt.
	S-H-M-I-D-T.
	This guy's the real deal.
	Well, good for him.
	Excellent.
	No, I did not know that name.
	More power to him.
	Now this falls under the art is mysterious category.
	Flyers that said whites only and depicted a noose popped up in the Hyde Park area of Chicago.
	That's a very high-tony area.
	Barack Obama has a pad there, as does Louis Farrakhan.
	So very high-tone black people live in Hyde Park along with high-tone white people.
	Many thought that a hate group was to blame.
	Remember, it says whites only and there was a noose.
	Oh yes, yes.
	Others said the image angered and upset them.
	As the photos of the flyers spread around social media, someone wondered if a QR code on it, it had a QR code, was part of a trick to collect people's private information, probably come around their places and burn crosses, who knows.
	Others said they were worried that hate groups were getting too close to home, too close to home.
	Too sophisticated for the QR code.
	As it turns out, a black artist said the poachers were part of a political act and a marketing campaign for her new exhibition.
	I saw this story, it's good.
	Yes, one of these people by the name, she was called Hierro.
	She's one of these one sort of mono-name people.
	Hierro, age 23, lives in the western suburbs, but you're mostly white, said, I really felt like a message really needed to be sent to white communities, that black people can't just exist for the sake of not being political.
	It's a good thing she's an artist and not a writer.
	I'm not even sure what that even means.
	I don't think it means anything.
	I'm not quite sure what she has in mind.
	She says, Being a black woman and knowing I'm going to be political by default, I decided to use my platform to try to educate and show the white experience through my African American eyes.
	That sounds like cultural appropriation to me.
	Showing the white experience.
	Who's the colonizer now?
	Ah, good question.
	Oh, dear.
	The artist grew up in a racist environment in Abington, Pennsylvania.
	Now, there was only one instance of racism cited.
	You'll be fascinated to know that the high school mascot was the Galloping Ghost, and she said the ghost looked like a Klansman.
	So, she was tormented by racism, by this galloping, racist, Ku Klux Klan ghost.
	I guess that's been haunting her ever since.
	Her art show is described as an homage to the black experience in predominantly white communities.
	I'm sure a lot of nooses and white-only signs are all over Abington.
	Hiero hopes that people who come to see the show feel seen.
	Well, I guess you can just stand there and stare at them.
	That'll make sure they feel seen.
	I would love to see what the galloping ghost football helmet for that school looks like.
	That's a cool mascot.
	Well, have you seen it?
	No, have you?
	Oh yeah, I did see it.
	I did see it.
	We'll talk about it in a moment.
	Okay.
	I want non-black people to see our pain, says she.
	I want us to actually see and feel our pain.
	Well, I should think us do see it without her product.
	My message really needs to get out, she said.
	She has an Instagram video in which she says she poured her heart and soul into her art, but was worried that nobody would come to the exhibit.
	So you see, it was all a publicity gimmick.
	Is she getting any trouble for this?
	Of course not!
	And it worked!
	I think I'm going to pack up and fly to Chicago.
	So I can see the pain black people feel.
	And also, be seen.
	She wants people to be seen.
	Well, how should I dress, Mr. Kurz, if I'm hoping to feel seen?
	I think you need to go as the Great Ghost.
	A white hood!
	I'm sorry, the Galloping Ghost.
	Well, the Galloping Ghost, I mean, I don't think it was designed to look that way, but you could say it sort of has an eclectic sort of look, but it's a ghost!
	It's wearing white, you know?
	It's not an oosey look, it's a kluxy look.
	You won't get that reference.
	Anyway, it's your turn to talk about school boards.
	More good news.
	I want to talk about school boards, but just to tell you how amazing and how penetrating your work is.
	We're at a level of discourse now, Mr. Taylor, where A Pulitzer Prize winning black columnist has to spend and spill ink attacking Steve Miller for daring to tread on the real estate of, wait a second, you can't say racist.
	Daring to state the obvious.
	It is, daring to state the obvious, but it's because they know that once that clarion call goes out, once that bat signal goes up, other people are like, yeah, that's right.
	I sure hope so.
	So here's what Daniel Schmidt, the student at University of Chicago, he's the one who brought attention to that anti-white class.
	He tweeted this.
	You have to wonder what the solution to the problem of whiteness would be.
	This is how people who detest white people think and talk, and they have taken over all universities under the guise of, quote, academic freedom, end quote.
	No sane professor can oppose it without risking their career.
	Will white students at my college complain about the course?
	Of course not.
	They're used to this by now.
	They know better than to step out of line.
	They must keep their heads down, shut up, and tolerate second-class treatment.
	That's the reality.
	They're the problem.
	This dude is, uh, this dude's ballsy.
	All he needs to do is listen to our podcast and say some of the things we say, and he'll go on Tucker.
	Well, he's been on Tucker.
	He's been on all these shows.
	As I say, good for him.
	Again, it's not about who is getting the credit for the message.
	It's about the message being credited as opening a lot of minds and terrifying people like Leonard Pitts, Cynthia Tucker.
	And who's your favorite columnist in the New York Times?
	Charles Blow.
	Boom.
	Charles Blohard.
	Boy, is he blowing hard these days.
	I'm going to tell you.
	These folks are scared.
	I think they're going to be blowing hard about this topic, Mr. Taylor.
	Talk about a perfect segue.
	Excellent.
	Texas Republicans against critical race theory win seats on the State Board of Education, strengthening its GOP majority.
	Now, again, you can say elections don't matter.
	I disagree with that.
	Here's an example of that.
	Uh, several Republican State Board of Education candidates who ran in opposition of so-called race critical of critical race theory and public schools won their races Tuesday night, giving Republicans one more seat on the board.
	Most notably, Republicans successfully flipped District 2.
	Which covers part of the Gulf Coast.
	All 15 seats on the State Board of Education were open because of redistricting.
	The board is responsible for dictating what Texas's 5.5 million students are required to learn in the state's public schools.
	There will now be 10 Republicans and 5 Democrats on the board.
	So, I'd say that's a good thing.
	Usually voters pay little attention to races for the body that sets the state's public school curriculum, but last year, this year, Texas schools, our schools operate and become a particularly hot topic.
	The pandemic's impact on school closing and mask mandates, as well as a new law restricting how students should learn about American, about America's history of racism.
	How about America's history of our ancestors caring about their posterity?
	Anyways, have made the state board races much more visible.
	Republican incumbents on the state board lost their primaries to candidates promising to get rid of critical race theory.
	So again, Republicans were primaried because people said, this is a problem.
	This anti-white stuff has to go.
	See, you know, this is very important.
	I have lived in the Northern Virginia area for about 25 years.
	I've never voted in a school board election.
	I never hear about them.
	You have to go.
	And these are really important elections that most of us ignore.
	I have to say mea culpa.
	Have you ever voted in a school board election?
	One time.
	One time you did?
	One time.
	Well, good for you.
	You were ahead of me.
	And this kind of thing is really important.
	People have to get out there and do their part.
	The rest of the article attempts to be like, oh, this critical race theory isn't that important.
	Come on.
	It's not that important.
	But when you talk about all these individuals who are getting voted out and they try and downplay it as You know, Critical Race Theory, however, is a college-level discipline that examines why racism continues in American law and culture, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	But this is motivating people across the country to go to these school board meetings to bring up the literature, to bring up the books that their kids are being forced to read, tight and easy coats, or the guy, I can't remember the other guy's name, who gets paid $25,000 for a quick Zoom lecture.
	Ibram X. Kendi.
	Ibram X. Kendi.
	How dare I?
	On the eve of Black Panther, Wakanda Forever coming out.
	Forgive me, Mia Kolpa, for forgetting Mr. Kendi's name.
	Yes, I think so.
	I have to go watch the movie now.
	That's my penance.
	That's my punishment.
	Wakanda Forever!
	Well, here's a story about Wakanda today.
	The real Wakanda.
	It can be found in Nigeria.
	Well, yes, I think it's a little bit more intense in Nigeria.
	A Nigerian boy was shot dead by his older brother with their father's rifle while testing a bulletproof charm.
	I don't think you find that even in Baltimore these days.
	Their father had just got the protective charm and had allegedly wanted to test it on his sons, Abu Bakr and Yusuf, age 12, to check out how effective it was.
	I mean, yeah, you buy this charm, you want to know if it works.
	The brothers believed they had fortified themselves with it, and Abu Bakr then shot his younger brother.
	He then fled into the bush after he realized the charm had failed.
	Officers have urged parents to monitor their children and their activities.
	I think that's good advice.
	There have been reports of a number of people being killed after testing bulletproof charms and medicines.
	In July 2018, a traditional healer died in Nigeria after one of his clients tested his bulletproof charms on him.
	That is the more sensible way to approach.
	The 26-year-old Chinaka Aduezue was wearing the charms around his neck and died after he told the man to shoot him.
	But that guy certainly believes in his product.
	That shows remarkable good faith.
	Another incident happened when, in January that year, a man who drank a bullet-repelling liquid was likewise shot dead.
	So, that is what the real Wakanda is like.
	I really shouldn't... I wish I had one of those charms.
	Well, yeah, it would work just as well.
	Now, moving on to Durban, South Africa.
	This is a sad story.
	I really... It's really...
	Heartrending in a way.
	One of South Africa's foremost economists and jurists, Professor Bonke Dumisa, has raised alarm bells over the decay of the Durban inner city, saying that he could no longer keep quiet.
	He then goes on to describe the filth, crime, degeneracy of the city, and he says, When I read two books, Things Fall Apart and No Longer at Ease, by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, decades ago.
	Those are really quite famous books.
	Yeah, I've read Things Fall Apart.
	You read that, yes.
	When I read those books decades ago, as a university student, I said to myself, this will never happen in post-apartheid South Africa because we will have learned from the mistakes of other African countries liberated decades earlier, like Nigeria.
	I was wrong, he says.
	Is this Professor White, I assume?
	No, this professor, he's black.
	Okay, sorry, he didn't say, I know the name.
	No, he's Professor Bonke Dumisa.
	Banke Dumisa is his name.
	He's black.
	He said, the people I used to say these things to outside South Africa are now telling me, we told you so.
	Wow!
	What a horrible thought to actually come to the realization because most liberals and most blacks will never admit that.
	They can't.
	Because it is their religious devotion to these concepts.
	It's a heart wrenching.
	Ending story.
	This guy who hoped for the best, he strove for the best, and he says, I was wrong.
	Wow.
	Things fell apart in Nigeria, and they're falling apart here.
	Well, to quote Paul Harvey, now you know the rest of the story.
	Now he knows the rest of the story.
	And the story doesn't matter where it is.
	It all has the same ending.
	And we have to come to our ending, which we hope is a happier ending.
	And so it is always a pleasure, always an honor to spend this time with you, ladies and gentlemen, and we look forward next week to doing likewise.
