Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
And we'll begin with listener comments, of which we've had a few rather interesting ones.
Last week on the podcast, we talked about a small-town crime wave.
This was in Eudora, Arkansas, population 3,000, population likewise 90% black.
It turns out the problem has been that no one has come forward to help the police.
And our listener writes in to say, it occurs to me it's a well-known slur that blacks don't tip.
You have just provided more evidence.
I guess blacks don't tip.
Yes, yet another clever comment from one of our listeners.
Another listener reminds us of the swarming attack Of, let's see, eight girls, I think, three 13-year-olds, three 14-year-olds, and two 16-year-old girls.
This was shortly after midnight on December 18th, and they killed Ken Lee, 59, originally from Hong Kong.
Up until now, the race and name of the victim had not been released.
And this is the incident in Toronto, Mr. Taylor, correct?
Yes, exactly, exactly.
I failed to mention that it was in Toronto.
I beg your pardon.
Witnesses told police the girls tried to steal a bottle of liquor from Lee's female friend.
When Mr. Lee tried to intervene, the teens unleashed their deadly assault.
Police go on to say we don't know how or why they met on that evening or why the destination was downtown Toronto.
We don't know how long they've been acquainted.
But Lee had reportedly been living in a city shelter since late fall of 2022.
It's also known that the girls were harassing another victim earlier in the night.
Before they killed Lee.
But this happened smack in downtown, downtown Toronto, in a very busy populated area, and people are quite shocked by this.
And now that it turns out the victim is Asian, it seems to me that this will give people all the more reason to be upset about this, if it had been a mere white man.
Who cares?
Another white man.
Yeah, a homeless white guy deserves it almost, you'd think.
But a homeless Asian man, wait a second now.
Yes, yes.
I mean, a homeless white guy, that's a guy who just doesn't know how to use his white privilege.
You know, might as well bump him off.
You know, useless waste of space.
But I think now's a good time, Mr. Kersey, to remind our leaders how to get in touch with us, our listeners how to get in touch with us.
If you think we've made a mistake in a podcast, if there's something you'd like us to cover, if in covering something we have missed an important detail, or even an unimportant detail, if it is particularly interesting, you can reach me directly at amren.com, A-M-R-E-N dot com, at the Contact Us tab, and you can reach Mr. Paul Kersey at... All one word, ladies and gentlemen, because we live here at protonmail.com once again, Because we live here at Protonmail.com.
And I think we'd be remiss, Mr. Taylor, if we didn't let everyone know this is our second podcast of 2023.
And I hope everybody listening around the world and in the United States is having a splendid start to the new year.
Well, I'd say so far, so good.
Now, this podcast, this podcast is full of gunfire, I'm afraid.
And one of the stories that's attracted a fair amount of attention is a shooting in Newport News, Virginia.
A teacher at Richneck Elementary School by the name of Abby Zwirner, age 25, was shot by a six-year-old, a six-year-old student.
She was trying to confiscate a gun that he had brought to school in his backpack.
And he fired one round, the bullet went through her hand, and then lodged in her chest, and she had to be taken to the hospital with very serious injuries.
This was, oh, a week or ten days ago now, and this has attracted a fair amount of attention, given the fact that it was a mere six-year-old, a first-grade student.
Oh, they grew up young, in Newport News.
Now, it's unlikely the shooter could possibly be prosecuted, even though there is no minimum age for being charged with a crime in Virginia.
As a practical matter, it'd be next to impossible to prosecute a six-year-old.
A six-year-old, no matter how serious, says one expert.
An adult could face misdemeanor charges, however, if the pistol came from a home where the child lives.
And it turns out the gun belonged to Mommy, who bought it legally.
Now, my suspicion is that there is no daddy in this picture.
University of Richmond law professor Julie McConnell says the state of Virginia does not have robust legislation that requires guns to be kept in a locked cabinet in a home where children are present.
However, she says a prosecutor could make the case that the parent was criminally negligent in the way she handled the firearm.
Another expert says this is going to be uncharted territory for any prosecution.
Well, I guess it is uncharted, Mr. Kersey, because the law just does not anticipate people behaving this way.
And there's been no word, no word, of course, on the race of the shooter.
But you and I and all of the experienced listeners of Radio Renaissance can probably guess, and our guess is assisted by statistical probability.
I looked up Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia.
The student body is 45% black, 15% Hispanic, 26% white, and 2% Asian.
It was an Asian.
There you go.
You like to play the odds, don't you?
Well, for our listeners who might not be familiar with that part of Virginia, that is one of the more violent areas of Virginia.
I believe it's near Norfolk, near Navy Base, heavily black area, Hampton Roads.
So, yes, I think it's 99.9% sure that it is a six-year-old black child.
Now, as a matter of fact, there have been other incidents in Newport News Schools.
In September 2021, a 16-year-old fired several bullets in a busy hallway inside Heritage High School at lunchtime, injuring two 17-year-olds.
And in December 2021, 18-year-old Damari Batten.
Damari does not sound like an Irish name to me, but you never know.
He fatally shot 17-year-old Justice Dunham in the parking lot of Menchville High School after a football game.
Now, these are incidents that took place in high schools, and so this is a rather new development that a six-year-old be the trigger man.
Now, there's, of course, been much whooping about the problem of guns in our community.
Oh, no, no.
I think that the area has a different kind of problem, but one that the authorities cannot mention.
Now, there was an interesting little development on this, on the whole racial angle.
On Monday of this week, There was a prayer service for Amy Zwirner, the 29-year-old teacher.
Seemed like a very pleasant, young, blonde lady.
And the photos of the event show that aside from the school superintendent, who was black, I could not see a single non-white face in the whole crowd.
Where are the parents of the 75% of the students who are not white, I ask you, Mr. Kersey?
Only 25% white.
So my guess is this is yet more confirmation that the shooter was a black child.
Black child shoots white women.
And who cares?
Seems to be the reaction of the 75% who are not white.
But we'll see.
We'll see if the race ever comes out, comes to light, because they're trying to keep this all very quiet, at least in terms of identifying this six-year-old.
Well, as our astute listener said, Mr. Taylor, not only do blacks not tip police, I guess they don't tip their hats to those who have been gunned down in solemn remembrance.
Nope.
Nope.
It was really quite shocking.
The superintendent, as I say, is black.
Then there's a sea of white faces.
Sea of white faces.
Some people tearful.
I'm thinking, good grief, if this doesn't say something about U.S.
race relations, it speaks eloquently to what people think of us.
Now, there was another little question here about when to shoot.
This is in Washington, D.C., a 13-year-old by the name of Karen Blake.
Yes, one of our melanin-enhanced fellow citizens.
He was shot with a legally registered firearm about 4 a.m.
on January 7th by an unidentified homeowner.
who heard noises outside of his home and thought someone was tampering with a vehicle.
The teenager and the man reportedly got into a confrontation before the shooting occurred.
And after shooting him, the homeowner performed CPR, called 911, and this 13-year-old, he was found by police with several gunshot wounds.
He was unarmed, taken to the hospital where he died.
Two other youths are suspected of fleeing the scene after the homeowner approached them.
Police also said they found a stolen car in the area and believed that the Brooklyn middle schooler had used it to get to the area.
Interestingly enough, the local community is demanding the homeowner's identity and that he be charged with murder.
At least they have been up until today.
D.C.
police have said that they are talking to U.S.
Attorney's Office to decide if charges should be filed.
Identities are typically not released unless charges are filed, but all the hopped up activists are demanding the person's name now.
Vigilante behavior, says Frankie Seaborne, an activist.
We really should value people more than poverty.
One resident says, Blake, that's 13-year-old Karen Blake, K-A-R-O-N.
It sounds like Karen to me, like a girl's name, but it's a man.
Blake lost his life over nothing.
NeNe Taylor told the Washington Post, we cannot normalize people feeling that bringing a gun
to a car break in or a carjack or anything involved in property is a solution to decrease
crime.
Well, on the contrary, NeNe, if somebody's trying to carjack you, you pull a gun.
Somebody's trying to steal your car and you pull a gun.
Probably you're going to save your property, certainly if you're prepared to pull the trigger under the proper circumstances.
Now, the aspect of this that none of these activists seem to be concerned about is that there was some sort of confrontation.
And it looks like young Karen, 13 year old middle schooler, they got into some kind of fight.
And that is when the shooting took place.
It wasn't this guy just opens up, blazes away at these people who are trying to steal his car.
And as a matter of fact, I'm sure the people in Washington, D.C.
are absolutely fed up.
In D.C., crime is up 46 percent compared to the same time last year.
Forty six percent.
I mean, this is just the early part of January, but 46 percent is a big number.
They've already been six homicides.
And what is this?
January 11th.
Gosh.
And that since January 1st, already six people dead.
However, And this is the aspect of it that I suspect may change some of the interest in figuring out who the shooter is and running him out of town on a rail.
Because in today's news, Chief Robert Conte, the Washington, D.C.
police talked to the press.
I can tell you that the person was an African-American.
I can tell you an adult.
I can tell you male.
So now that it's black, My suspicion is that the hue and cry and the insistence that this person's name be named so he can be publicly shamed, I suspect some of that will calm down.
What do you reckon?
I'd be willing to take that same bet.
Yes, as it turns out, looked up the address where the shooting took place, These are nice single-family homes.
Washington, D.C., as you know, has some very dodgy parts and very, very super-deluxe parts.
This would not be a place I'd call super-deluxe, but it seems very nice.
It's probably a black guy who has moved in, and he does not want his car stolen.
Good for him.
Now, moving on to what I have increasingly begun to refer to as the most dangerous profession in America.
Ooh!
I think I know what that is.
I think you do.
It's a vocation and an avocation, by the way.
Well, and people make money at it, but they risk their lives.
Ten people were reportedly wounded in a shooting in Miami during a recording of rap star French Montana's latest music video.
Well, I'm a cultural ignoramus, so I'd never heard of French Montana before this incident, but there you go.
Apparently he's a big deal in the rap business.
One victim, Of the 10 is in critical condition, rushed to a hospital, and it was reported that four of the victims required what they call a life flight.
They were hauled off by helicopter to Jackson Memorial Hospital, indicating that they were in bad shape.
Now, this I thought was very interesting.
Eyewitnesses reported 10 to 15 gunshots.
That strikes me as pretty good shot placement under these circumstances.
10 to 15 shots and 10 wounded?
That's very surprising.
Somebody was pretty careful.
But let us realize this was a rap shoot, after all.
And we can imagine, perhaps, that these people were really into serious method acting.
You know what method acting is?
You get into the thinking.
Gear yourself up to think that you are this character.
I mean, this is rap.
It's a rap shoot, you know?
Method acting.
Another little detail.
A fellow by the name of Wilmark Baez, who was a witness to the incident, had lent his car and his two dogs to French Montana's production team for the music video.
His two dogs ran away.
He had a terrible time finding them, but he did find them.
He did come back, but he hasn't gotten his car back.
And also a reportedly well-known rapper by the name of Rob 49 was also hit.
No fatalities so far, but as I say, the most dangerous profession in America.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe that you have got a report on two different approaches to solving the gun problem in America, one in Philadelphia and one in D.C., so let's keep our fingers crossed and hope they work.
Well, we'll find out, but I would like to say I need to start reading more about the rap game because I'm unfamiliar with either of the rappers you mentioned, so I've got to I gotta get some street cred, and I gotta research some of these guys, because I haven't heard of either of them, or had the opportunity to listen to their beats.
I must say, when it comes to rap, I don't care about having no street cred whatsoever.
If anything, I'm proud of my ignorance, which is perhaps an ignorant thing to say, but there you are.
So let's hear about these solutions, these promising solutions.
Well, here's one.
This was an intriguing headline that I saw.
Fighting blight by fixing up homes could bring down Philly gun violence.
New study shows.
So we're getting ready to be almost three years in the post-George Floyd world, but I thought this was a very interesting story because haven't we been here before?
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
So the article goes on to say, replacing broken windows, picking up garbage, And pulling weeds around abandoned houses in Philadelphia could lead to a drop in gun crime in those areas, according to a new study from the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University.
So researchers placed 258 abandoned Philadelphia houses into three study groups.
One-third of the houses received the full intervention, fixing broken windows, picking up trash, and weeding.
Basically doing the bare minimum to maintain your home.
While a third received trash pickup and weeding only, and a third, Mr. Taylor, received no maintenance.
After three years of study, researchers found that the blocks around the homes that got the full intervention saw a 13% drop in gun assaults compared to nearby blocks.
The blocks around homes that only received trash cleanup and weeding received no drop in gun violence.
Quote, you can blanket a city with these sorts of structural, scalable, and sustainable interventions that are focused on place.
End quote said Charles Branis, study co-author and Gelman Endowed Professor and Chair of Epidemiology at Columbia University.
Quote, go ahead.
Well, Mr. Kersey, that really does Back up the broken window theory of policing to some degree, doesn't it?
Because you can clean up the rubbish, you can weed the yard, but if there are broken out windows in a place, then you know this is abandoned, this is no good, probably nobody's watching.
That seems to be the key.
Maybe all they need to do is fix up the windows.
You know, to heck with the weeds, that's fine.
But so long as it doesn't look obviously unoccupied and abandoned, maybe that's the trick.
Or maybe it's a fluke.
Who knows?
But sorry, please continue.
Yeah, well the team only looked at a small fraction of the more than 3,000 abandoned Philadelphia homes they identified as potential subjects for the study.
Experts and community advocates say these homes are easy to break into and can be used as gathering points for illegal activity, including gun storage.
And it's not just abandoned homes that make a difference.
An earlier study from some of the same researchers found when home repairs, when homeowners make repairs on their properties, Crime rates also declined.
That study looked specifically at the City of Philadelphia's Basic Systems Repair Program, which provides free repairs for low-income households.
Charles Ellison, a WURD radio host and managing editor of Environmental Journalism Initiative, Eco Word said the city needs to expand that program and invest more in place-based gun violence strategy.
Quote, if we just simply made these spaces totally clean, totally green, totally resilient, totally livable, we would not have this much violence.
Philadelphia would be a near non-violent city.
End quote.
I'm not sure if that's how it works, but uh... Well, Mr. Kersey, the solution is simple.
Spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on each block that is blighted and fallen down, and then that might reduce crime by gun violence by 13%.
It's obvious.
That is an important investment that white society must make in these neighborhoods.
Oh, just tear it all down.
Yeah, well, a different study from Brainist.
And other researchers found that turning vacant lots into green spaces reduced gun violence by 29% compared to blocks where the lot stayed untouched.
Now of course the article goes on and on and on until there's some very important stuff at the bottom of the story.
Many community members and gun violence advocates say there's much more work to be done.
Councilmember Jamie Gother pushed for a 30 million dollar boost in the most recent budget to clamp down on illegal dumping, broken streetlights, and abandoned lots.
But yet not all Philadelphians receive equal treatment when it comes to maintenance.
An analysis of sanitation performance metrics found that from 2017 to 2020, Center City experienced on-time trash collection 95% of the time, while areas like Northwest, South, and West Philly Wow.
I guess that is pure systemic institutionalized racism.
Did I get that right?
Well, I think you just answered your question.
Ellison said this continuation of historic disinvestment in black neighborhoods is due to structural racism.
There's a narrative that because we're black we live in bad neighborhoods that are in disrepair.
I think that has to stop now.
That mindset has to be eliminated."
Well, Mr. Ellison, perhaps disproportionately blacks do live in neighborhoods that are in disrepair because black individuals collectively don't maintain their homes, they don't weed, they don't fix broken windows, property values plummet, good neighbors move away, And we get the necessity for these type of studies.
Yep.
And, obviously, the answer is more handouts from Whitey.
That's always the solution.
And so, what's the solution in Washington, D.C.?
Excuse me for coughing.
I've been fighting the illness.
Well, before we get there, I do want to point out that a few months ago, there was a National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform report on D.C.
fatal and non-fatal shootings, and it showed that 97 percent of suspects in homicides in D.C.
were black and 97 percent of suspects in non-fatal shootings in D.C.
are black.
This is for 2020, the last year we have data.
Mr. Taylor, in the chart, there are zero white suspects for non-fatal shootings in DC for this year.
Now, I believe DC is very close to being majority white.
I believe it was on track to be majority white until COVID kind of changed things, the lockdown and the violence.
And Yes, and that is an absolutely sickening lack of diversity in those statistics.
We've really got to work on that.
Fix that.
A lot of structural inequality there.
A lot of systemic racism.
White people are pulling their weight when it comes to Being suspects in non-fatal shootings.
Well, here's the story.
Thou shall not kill posters coming to D.C.
Can they help curb gun violence?
So in Philadelphia, we have people trying to fix broken windows, you know, pull up weeds.
Well, now we've got thou shall not kill posters going up around D.C.
So amid gun violence, the police chief has called completely unacceptable.
Local community leaders are hoping an age old commandment printed on red and white cardboard signs will help stem the bloodshed, quote, The poster is going to simply say, thou shall not kill, said Philip Pano, executive director of the Anacostia Coordinating Council, a nonprofit organization based in Ward 8 in D.C.
Now, Mr. Taylor, for those who might not be familiar, Anacostia is what, 95% black area of D.C.? ?
I would say so.
I would say so, yes.
I last strolled through Anacostia about four years ago.
I don't think I saw a single white person other than the person I was with.
So, yep, another just distressing lack of diversity there.
Yeah, I actually remember driving around Anacostia about a decade ago and there were signs in people's yards that say, no gentrification in Anacostia.
So, anyways.
Well, that's kept the white people out.
Yes, it has, as has the shootings.
Pannell will join community activists and leaders, mostly from east of the Anacostia River neighborhoods, in a launch event, which happened yesterday, actually, at Busboys and Poets Restaurant at 2004 Martin Luther King Jr.
Avenue SE.
Pannell said he's hoping the signs espousing the Sixth Commandment will reinvigorate discussion about stopping gun violence.
There's a percentage of the community that seems to have gotten numb to it, desensitized.
Let's be honest.
Most people do not attend community meetings about violence."
Well, Mr. Pinnell, a lot of us live in communities and neighborhoods where the thought of a gun being discharged is about as alien as Not pulling up wheat and maintaining our yards, because the HOA will get mad at you if you don't do that.
This is not the first time the Thou Shall Not Kill message has been used in the district.
Quote, around 30 years ago, at the height of the crack epidemic, when we were also experiencing violence and homicides, then-at-large council member William Lightfoot printed up some Thou Shall Not Kill posters and put them up throughout the city.
He said, so there you go, you've got two You've got two messages.
The message, Thou Shalt Not Kill, is just as powerful and just as prevalent in 2023 as it was thousands of years ago when, I guess, Moses came down with the commandments, said Penel.
Well, did it work the last time around?
That's what I want to know.
I don't think it did.
Well, you know, there's a certain population where I don't think it will work.
And it's in Baltimore.
Because for this to work, people Mr. Kersey, you have to know how to read.
And as it turns out, more than three quarters of the students at one Baltimore high school are reading at an elementary level, with many reading at a kindergarten level.
This is a high school.
This is a high school.
And so I think they might have a hard time puzzling through thou shalt not kill.
I think that they might trip over these strange words like thou and shalt.
Yeah, but they're just not so common.
You know, see spot run, maybe they can make it through that, but thou shalt, you know, that's pretty tricky stuff.
A teacher at this Patterson High School, one of the largest in the city, came forward with information showing 77% of the students at the school were found to have an elementary reading level.
And assessments are given in Baltimore City schools to help determine at which grade someone is performing, but the scores are not made public.
This teacher came forward anonymously because he or she was absolutely appalled by these scores.
Out of 628 students tested, 484 showed a reading level proficiency equal that to an elementary school student, including 159 who were at a kindergarten or first grade level.
And I think these are probably the very ones who are more likely to be shooting you.
The very ones who can't read, who can't puzzle through the sentence, thou shalt not kill, are the ones who read the least.
Just 12 students at Patterson High School were reading at grade level.
That comes out to 1.9%.
Now, be not afraid, Patterson has a 61% graduation rate, and it's got a $12 million annual budget.
The teacher was asked, this teacher came forward with these shocking statistics, was asked how a student with such a low reading level could make it to high school.
And she said, they're just pushed through.
They're not ready for the workforce.
They're not ready for further education.
But again, identity has been kept secret.
So when I said she, I was speculating.
Maybe they're ready to be squeegee boys.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
That's a good job.
That burgeoning growth industry.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Well, now, as it turns out, Baltimore schools have a one-fail policy, meaning that you can fail only one grade.
And then after that, just keep pushing you through, no matter how poorly you've done.
And in a story from two years ago, in July 2021, it was reported that after the COVID shutdowns, four in 10 Baltimore public high school students had a GPA of less than one.
Less than one.
I didn't know that was even possible.
But I guess if you really, really work at it, of course they don't think these people really worked at it, it just comes naturally to them, a GPA of less than one.
But that does not stop you from moving on to the next grade.
I suspect that to get a GPA of less than one, don't you have to be failing everything, basically?
I mean, I don't know, maybe you're passing something.
But it doesn't matter.
You go on to the next grade.
And once again, I looked up the statistics of Patterson High School.
Apparently, there are even worse schools in the state of Maryland.
This is only 1,296 out of 1,354.
1,296 out of 1,354.
So that means there are 58, let's see, 58 schools that performed worse than Patterson High School.
It, as it turns out, Patterson is 48% black, 44% Hispanic, and 7% white.
Boy, I feel sorry for those white kids.
I feel sorry for everybody who's there, as a matter of fact.
There's probably some blacks and Hispanics who want to learn, but how the heck are you going to do that under these circumstances?
Crazy.
Pathetic.
And they ain't going to be able to read the signs that tell them not to kill each other.
Now, Mr. Kersey, yet another crisis.
Yet another crisis has been discovered.
This is an article in the New York Times, and it has to do with the home appraisal industry.
That industry, oh my gosh, is overwhelmingly white, male, and aging.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that of the 75,000 appraisers in the United States, a shocking 97% are white.
percent are white and other, yes, 97 percent are white.
What?
I guess, you know, it's a white thing.
You wouldn't understand.
The other surveys show that nearly three quarters are both male and above the age of 85.
Gosh, I guess above the age of 85 means you're aging.
Gee.
Well, this lack of representation, black real estate professionals say, is a glaring problem.
And it contributes to a persistent widespread practice in the home appraisal industry of giving higher values to homes when the occupants are white and devalue them if the occupants are black.
Now, my suspicion is the problem with a home that is occupied by blacks is not so much that the occupants themselves are blacks, but the neighbors are all black.
And I wonder how the neighbors look after their property.
If you have a White family in a nice white neighborhood.
I suspect the fact they're black probably doesn't affect the home appraisal one bit.
But Lydia Pope is president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, an advocacy organization for black professionals in the industry.
She says the issue of discriminating discriminatory appraisals is a major challenge.
And what's the solution?
She says just recruit more black appraisers, especially black women.
No.
What do you think of that?
I guess black women are going to be more fair-minded, more scrupulous appraisers than black men?
Well, that's her story, and she's sticking with it, I guess.
Meanwhile, let's see.
We have a story that I consider good news.
This was an 11-year-old boy who was put in a closet during a home invasion.
He decided to fight back, and this happened in Orange County, North Carolina.
There was, what happened is the incident started just after 11 a.m.
when a woman knocked on the door of a house.
The 11-year-old white boy who was home alone, I think in most cases it's not against, it's not considered proper to leave anybody under the age of 12 at home.
At least that's the case in Virginia by himself.
He was alone when a woman knocked on the door.
The 11-year-old boy then saw a man standing outside near a car as the woman was knocking, and just then another man broke a window on the other side of the house and came in.
They ganged up on the boy and forced him into a back bedroom closet and told him to stay there.
Well, he refused.
The deputies who interviewed him later described him as a star baseball player on several area teams.
He got out of the closet, got a hold of a machete, and he whacked one of the guys, and the suspect realized he was bleeding profusely from the machete wound.
And he dropped all the loot and left, and all the other suspects fled the scene, thanks to the heroic actions of this 11-year-old boy.
And a short time later, a man describing—a man matching the description—showed up at the ER in the University of North Carolina Hospital in Hillsborough requesting treatment for an injury to the head.
And this guy, Jatavian Dashon Hall, age 19, is still in the hospital, thanks to this well-aimed machete blow.
So, good for the white guy, and tough luck for Jatavian Dashon.
Jatavian.
Jatavian, yes, yes.
I suspect so.
I mean, at age 19, he was probably just getting ready to turn his life around, but then he came into sudden contact with a machete.
I wonder if he's a product of Baltimore City Public Schools.
Well, he lives in North Carolina.
You never can tell.
I have a feeling that there are schools in North Carolina where the reading levels are probably about the same as Baltimore, but I don't have any statistics on that. Now, Mr. Kersey, you
have yet another story on how to curb gun violence, or no, this is sort of a source of gun
violence. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, at the end of the year, everybody always likes to talk
about the statistics for cities. And one of those cities that was unprecedented with violence was
Kansas City, Missouri.
And this headline kind of shocked me a little bit.
It says, is climate change linked to gun violence?
A new study shows how the Kansas City area is impacted.
Now, this is from the Kansas City Star, January 2nd, 2023.
Now, here's how it starts.
On the hottest day of 2022 in KC, three people were shot and killed.
Three more were shot and survived, the KC Police Department said.
The temperature clocked in at 101 degrees on July 23rd.
According to Jared Letton, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service in Kansas City.
Excuse me.
With 171 homicides, this year became the second deadliest on record in Kansas City.
And some of those fatal shootings may be linked to an unexpected cause.
Climate change.
Now, again, it's fascinating to think that climate change only impacts those with melanin, but whatever, and compels them to shoot and pull the trigger on their fellow citizens.
It's just like weeds in broken windows.
It has a certain effect on certain people, oddly enough, but they keep striving for some kind of explanation.
I think you're playing.
Go ahead, please.
No, no, don't, don't.
Researchers analyzed more than 116,000 shootings in 100 cities, and they found that nearly 7% could be attributed to days with above-average temperatures, not only this summer, but also at other times of the year when it was unseasonably warm.
In Kansas City, Missouri, the percentage of shootings tied to days with above-average
temperatures was 6.13 percent, while in Kansas City, Kansas, it was 7.86 percent, according
to the study published last month in the Journal of American Medical Association.
An increase in warmer temperatures and more frequent extreme heat events due to climate change
may create environments with higher risk of firearm violence in the future, the study said.
Researchers concluded that the findings quote Quote, I.
Underscore the importance of exploring heat mitigation strategies as tools to reduce shootings, end quote.
Experts have theorized that warmer temperatures increase stress hormones and lead to more interactions between people.
You've got to have a comment, please.
Oh, boy.
Well, after we have splashed out millions making sure that the weeds are pulled up and the windows are fixed, then we're going to splash out billions to make sure it doesn't get too hot in the ghetto.
Isn't that the solution?
Four trees, get rid of two islands, and we'll be...
The thing about it is, you see, to me, when it's really, really hot, I get torpid.
It seems to me the last thing I want to do is go run around with a gun when it's hot.
But when they say that an unseasonably warm day in the wintertime, that might make sense.
Then you might decide to go run around with a gun.
You know, if it's been freezing and thaws, you know, let's stretch our legs.
You know, let's limber up the handgun.
I don't know.
Yeah, it is odd.
This seems to have such an extraordinary effect on a certain population, but apparently not on anybody else.
Yeah, and to actually get into that real quick, Mr. Taylor, I do want to point out two more great paragraphs.
I think you'll laugh at them.
Quote, I think there are definitely higher volume call days when it's hot outside, but that's also true when it's just a nice day and not necessarily hot, said Officer Donna Drake, a spokesperson for KCPD.
There are more people out and about when the weather's nice.
Anecdotally, more violence occurs in the hotter months, said Janelle Friesen, spokeswoman for the Unified Government Public Health Department.
She noted that the study also touches on environmental justice.
Quote, Here we go.
Are you ready for this?
Structural racism and discriminatory policies and practices have led to inequities in the impact of climate change and environmental hazards, including a greater impact on BIPOC, black, indigenous, and people of color, said Freysen.
The health department is working to better understand how it can tackle environmental justice issues and how this connects to addressing other public health issues like violence, end quote.
The study said redlining and disinvestment Issues the Kansas City area has long struggled with often have left communities of color in areas with less green space and more asphalt.
That can lead to the heat island effect, which increases temperatures.
In an analysis of 60 cities, a report by Climate Central ranked Kansas City as having the 7th most intense summer heat island effect.
Bridging the gap has planted thousands of trees in an effort to reduce the heat island effect in Kansas City, which can increase temperatures in some neighborhoods by up to seven degrees, said Executive Director Kristen Riott.
Okay, well, that'll solve the problem, Mr. Kersey.
With enough trees, they won't be able to see each other.
They can hide.
You open fire and a tree will stop the bullet.
Who knows?
Well, they think of everything, don't they?
So, well, good luck on that.
Whatever it takes to stop black people from shooting each other, I guess it's a great thing.
But moving on to Damar Hamlin.
Now that's a name you probably know because you follow sports.
That was a new name on me.
But this fellow apparently was a professional football player and today's headline was Damar Hamlin discharged from Buffalo Hospital nine days after suffering cardiac arrest during a game.
Correct.
Apparently... Yes?
Go ahead.
He died on the field, Mr. Taylor.
It's really that simple.
The fact that white EMTs were able to resuscitate him, I mean, that was... He basically died on the football field and he was brought back to life.
They brought him back to life.
He collapsed January 2nd on a nationally televised football game in Cincinnati.
Even for somebody like me who pays absolutely no attention to football, certainly not professional football, there's been constant coverage of this guy.
Constant coverage.
It's as if he'd been assassinated on the field or something.
It's just extraordinary.
Now, I gather, having looked into it, he's not a particularly great top-notch player.
This is his first season as a starter.
His most remarkable accomplishment is to have nearly died on the field.
But day in, day out, covering him, I guess, why?
I guess it's because Black Lives Matter.
And I was struck by something else that happened that very same day that I would wager not one of our listeners is aware of, and probably not you either.
But on January 2nd, the very same day, Breckenridge, Pennsylvania, Police Chief Justin Martin was shot and killed.
And one of his deputies was shot and wounded.
Because they had engaged in a foot chase of 28-year-old Aaron Lamont Swan, melanin-enhanced, as you can imagine, that lasted several hours.
That sounds like a vigorous, long-lasting foot chase to me.
McIntyre was shot in the head and died.
The other officer's deputy was shot in the leg.
The suspect was wounded in the gunfire but was able to flee after carjacking a vehicle.
Sounds like quite an exciting little escapade.
He crashed that vehicle, fled into a wooded area.
He then emerged from the woods into an open area in housing development, where he started shooting at police officers again.
This guy must have been a high-capacity man.
The officers returned fire, killing Aaron Lamont.
Swamp.
Now, this is a place with a population of 3,543.
Both dead are white men.
And of course, no one has heard about this.
No one cares.
And it just strikes me as a remarkable commentary on what we care about.
A black football player who had a freak accident.
Apparently they're saying that if you hit somebody in just the right way hard enough, right at the right cycle in his heartbeat, it might stop it beating.
But apparently they're not entirely sure what happened to this guy.
But as you say, white people all crowded around, saved the guy, and he's the hero of the day.
And nobody, nobody has heard about these two police officers.
One who is dead at the hands of this black perp, who is fortunately also dead.
This place, Bracken Ridge, Pennsylvania, has a population of 3,543.
Probably, these guys were beloved members of the community.
They are unsung and unknown, but that's the way it is.
Now, yes, you had something to say?
Yeah, just real quick.
That whole situation, you know, a lot of our listeners are from outside the United States, and it was unprecedented, this outpouring of You know, they canceled the football game and I was joking with someone, you know, why did they just lower the flag to half-mast?
I retired the guy's number across the across the board.
It was a very strange reaction to this truly freak accident when you think about do you think about the you know, it didn't look like that big of a collision really and the guy got up and then all of a sudden passed out and I It dominated the news, as if this might have been the President of the United States who was in a football game and got bashed and had a heart attack.
It was just extraordinary.
Just extraordinary.
And I guess, as I say, black lives must really, really, really, really matter.
But let's see.
I think that's actually stenciled in the end zone of some professional football.
Yes.
You're right.
You're right.
Now, here is a heartbreaking story about Democrats.
It's from Politico.
Yes.
Democrat-led cities dealing with migrants bust in from the southern border say they've hit a breaking point.
Pleading with the White House to help them manage an influx that has overloaded community resources.
Oh, the poor dears.
Their concerns spiraled into Democratic infighting when New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that Colorado Governor Jared Polis planned to send migrants from his states to New York and Chicago, further straining shelters, schools and health services.
On Wednesday, Eric Adams continued to criticize Democrat state leaders for sending them to his city.
One time we had to deal with a Republican governor sending migrants to New York.
Now we're dealing with Democrat governors, he said.
And now I have to make tough decisions on the resources of New York.
It's time for the federal government to step in.
You know, this just amazes me.
They don't care if 2.2 million people are stopped at the border.
On the border states, they don't care the slightest bit about that.
But a few of them come their way, and all of a sudden, it's a crisis.
All of a sudden, the White House has got to step in.
All of a sudden, we've got to pay more money.
And Adams said his city would continue to support migrants, but warned that space and resources were dwindling.
Oh boy, he says, I don't know if you can really understand the magnitude of dropping thousands of people in a city that's already gone through a crisis.
He was referring to COVID pandemic recovery.
But again, All they complain about is not having enough money to deal with these people.
These Democrats apparently are incapable of arriving at the obvious solution, keep them out of the country entirely.
But I guess that's part of the mental defectiveness of being a Democrat.
Now moving over to Germany.
This may be, Mr. Kersey, and I worry about this, especially in light of the revelations in the Twitter files, That Mr. Elon Musk has publicized to the world that outlined the involvement of federal law enforcement in deciding whom to censor and whom not on Twitter.
We should probably talk about that on one of these occasions because that was a very disturbing set of revelations.
It confirmed much of what we knew, but the idea that the CIA, FBI, those people are actively involved in Twitter management.
And of course, probably on Facebook and YouTube and everybody else.
Telling them who...
Yep, in any case.
Hey, Mr. Taylor, probably Amazon.com, since your books are banned there.
That's right.
Well, I do know that the SPLC is on their consultant list.
They confessed to me once when they booted us out of a program for non-profit organizations.
It was earning us a little bit of money every time somebody made a purchase.
But no, they said, look, you guys may be non-profits, but the SPLC says you're bad, so you can't be part of this program.
There you go.
But in Germany, hundreds of the radical Nazi and right-wing extremists online are actually German domestic intelligence agents, and many of them may be responsible for inciting hatred and even violence.
Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, that's quite a name, its initials are BFV.
argues that these accounts are needed effectively to monitor the extreme right.
But critics say they may be promoting and actively encouraging radicalism.
This is according to a report from the German newspaper, the Suddeutsche Zeitung.
That is probably the most prestigious and reliable trustworthy newspaper in all of Germany.
According to research by this newspaper, the BFV, in its busy activity protecting the constitution has invested heavily in what they call virtual agents.
The BFV is running hundreds of right-wing extremist accounts and this has come to light at the same time that Germany's new left-wing government has called right-wing extremism the biggest threat to the country.
Maybe there's a coincidence there.
The opposition conservative alternative for Germany, AFD, is also actively under surveillance in certain federal states with membership in the party, the only prerequisite for agents being able to read email and listen in on telephone calls of these private citizens.
What do you think of that?
The time could be attendance at an American Renaissance concert or merely having corresponded with a wicked guy by the name of Paul Kersey.
That might be enough to mean, okay, we can open his letters, we can listen in on his phone calls, And with the BFV, these guys busily protecting the Constitution, operating hundreds of these accounts, the agency argues it's about playing a little right-wing radical yourself in order to gain the trust of other users.
In order to be really credible, it's not enough to share or like what others say.
You also have to make statements yourself.
That means that the agents also bully and agitate.
says one agent who claims to have joined the agency to, quote, do something against right-wing
extremists.
This involves actively encouraging people in their worldview, and she says it's her
job to feed the scene.
Now this is pretty spooky stuff.
I mean, we've seen this before.
Remember those poor losers who were accused of trying to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan?
And it turned out that the real spark plugs in the organization were all FBI agents.
So these people are feeding the scenes.
I'd like to point out something, Mr. Taylor, real quick.
Correspondence with wicked members of the New Century Foundation.
It's Trump supporters now.
You think about what's going on with the whole January 6th stuff.
I mean, I believe that you see, or what happened in Loudoun County with the individuals who protested.
Loudoun County, Virginia, which is one of the richest counties in the country, where The FBI was actively going after people who were upset about the transgendered and the LGBTQ grooming that was going on in classes.
I mean, we are in such a new situation where I believe, and this is going to sound strange, I think that there are probably more people who are sympathetic to our ideas.
Yes.
Obviously, they're not on Facebook anymore.
They're increasingly on Twitter.
Hopefully we're going to hear the cheer back on Twitter soon.
But the thing is, we can look at statistics and we can see that the majority of Republicans
believe in things like the Great Replacement.
They are beginning to worry about what's going to happen in a majority non-white America.
And the question is, obviously the base is a little further along than the politicians.
And I believe we're going to start seeing statesmen and stateswomen who are going to, like a Laura Loomer, who are going to speak up and who are going to take those slings and take those arrows and continue to be a voice for an increasingly voiceless, or as Gregory Hood says, a stateless people.
And they will be persecuted in all sorts of novel ways that certainly violate the Constitution and are new to our understanding of how the United States is supposed to work.
Now, let me just finish with one more thing about this article from the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
There are now so many accounts Operated by different German authorities that a nationwide agreement has become necessary.
Otherwise, different agencies and different agents will be targeting each other for surveillance and monitoring.
Isn't that something else?
You got to have a scorecard to know who to attack.
Oh, yeah, he's one of our guys.
He's saying awful things, but he's one of our guys.
So no, we're not going to go after him.
The government, according to this report, is expected to open Thousands of hate speech cases against the public every year.
This is thanks to the new ruling coalition of three parties.
It was called the Traffic Light Coalition after the elections.
Red, green, yellow.
The Social Democrats are the reds.
The greens are green.
And then the so-called liberal free Democrats are yellow.
Not a sensible party in the mix at all.
And this is what is happening to Germany.
UFC purges the language of racist words.
Oh, goodness gracious.
Yeah, this is one of those stories that you kind of look at and you're like, wait a second, this has to be Babylon B, right?
This has to be The Onion.
This can't be real life.
But here we are.
University of Southern California will no longer use the word field over racist connotation.
This story comes from the New York Post.
I gotta admit, Mr. Taylor, I'm a big fan of the New York Post.
I think that outfit, that news outlet, is increasingly doing stories that highlight just the absurdity of life in 2023 America, and this is one of them.
USC's Susanna Dwork Peck's School of Social Work said the change was critical to support anti-racist social work and inclusivity.
Whenever you hear that word inclusivity, immediately turn around, drop whatever you're doing, and just run for the door.
So, the department specifically decided to remove the word field from its curriculum and replace it with practicum, according to the letter, which was dated January 9th and shared to Elon Musk's Twitter.
Quote, this change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that would be considered anti-black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language, the letter read.
Also, the letter continued, quote, language can be powerful and phrases such as going into the field or field work maybe have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers Yes, the word field is somehow upholding the structural impediments to black people being able to pull weeds and fix their broken windows, I guess.
the nation and making changes to their institution to quote honor and acknowledge inclusion and
reject white supremacy, anti-immigrant and anti-blackness ideologies, end quote. So yes,
the word field is somehow upholding the structural impediments to black people being able to pull
weeds and fix their broken windows, I guess. I don't know.
Well, tell me, how are you supposed to discuss going into the field of anthropology.
Do you call it a practicum?
I guess you talk about the discipline of anthropology.
Or, gosh, this seems very strange.
Maybe you could call, I believe in England and Europe, the field is called the pitch.
So why don't you just call it the pitch?
I was going to say this is relevant to our next story, because I guess we can't talk about the soccer field anymore, or the hockey field, none of that.
That all implies that somebody is doing plantation labor out there, and we know that that's all bad.
But this goes back to a story we covered earlier, well, some months, well, I guess only a few weeks earlier.
A person by the name of Kirsten Henning.
She was a woman who played on the Virginia Tech soccer team.
Quite beautiful, by the way.
Yes, yes, a very attractive young lady.
She refused to kneel during the social justice demonstrations in support of Black Lives Matter.
This was at the height of the madness in 2020.
And her coach verbally attacked her during halftime, and the coach berated her, benched her, and wouldn't play her despite the fact that she'd been a star player her freshman and sophomore years.
And so she quit the team altogether because he had made it absolutely impossible for her to continue on the team.
Well, she sued on First Amendment grounds, and she will get $100,000.
Under a settlement.
So, good for her.
Good for her.
Fight back, and sometimes you win.
Now, we don't have much time left, and so I'd like to end with a story from a website called Visit Philly.
And the headline... Visit Philly, despite all the things... I guess by the time they have done the weeding and fixed up the windows and picked up the garbage, then it'll be worth visiting!
Well, the headline says 40-plus black-owned restaurants to check out in Philadelphia.
40-plus!
You must be really hungry.
Philadelphia is rich in black culture, heritage, and history.
That tradition carries on in Philly's wide array of black-owned and operated restaurants, coffee shops, and bars across dynamic neighborhoods that travel experts love.
It's easy to support black-owned businesses through the Black and Mobile app or Block Delivery to Philadelphia-based startups with black founders.
And I bet they don't expect you to leave a big tip, so you might get a bargain.
In any case, imagine a similar app and a similar headline for white-owned restaurants.
Impossible, of course, impossible.
But if you're really hungry and you want to check out 40 black-owned restaurants, head straight to Philadelphia, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, because they are happy to take your money.
And never buy Swedes.
Yes, yes, never mind the weeds.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I believe we have come to the end of our allotted time.
As always, our cup runneth over, but our time runneth under.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, it is always an honor and a pleasure to spend this time with you, and we look forward to doing the same next week.
