	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 do something a little unusual today and begin by soliciting comments.
	The way to reach me is by going to amren.com, A-M-R-E-N dot com, and hitting the Contact Us tab.
	And there's another way to reach Radio Renaissance, and that is to do... Well, I know it's coming, but it's simply email me at BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	Once again, that email address is simply this.
	BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	Now, I'm going to take a lot of umbrage with this comment, but that's fine.
	Go ahead.
	I was about to play a nasty trick on you, Mr. Kersey, because the comment with which we are going to begin the program is I love your content and pray you increase your output, but I have to take umbrage with Paul Kerr's habit of saying all one word.
	When he gives your email address, because we live here all one word, because all email addresses are spelled as one word.
	There are never any spaces in email addresses.
	So, Mr. Kersey, I should probably apologize to you for having put you on the spot in this way.
	No, no, no.
	Because I was going to, I was going to retort that many email addresses, yes, there are no, there are no, you know, As you stated, there are no spaces, but there are underscores many times, so that's important to note the difference in the fact that many email addresses will be someone's surname underscored their Christian name at AOL.com or Gmail.com or their employers then.com.
	Very good.
	We will go and send no more, but to move on to some of the more important and interesting stories of the week, There have been some unusual shootings.
	Both that I'm thinking about were in California.
	We won't cover these in too great detail because they have been very, very widely covered.
	But in Monterey Park, California, a gentleman by the name of Hukan Tran.
	And he seems to have been a gentleman up until now.
	Age 72, gunned down patrons at a ballroom dance hall.
	He killed 11 people and wounded nine and he then went and he drove to another dance hall where he was apparently about to open fire again on yet more dancers when an employee wrestled his weapon away from him and Mr. Tran then later killed himself as the police closed in.
	The victims have not been publicly identified but all are believed to have been 50 or older.
	And apparently the gunman's ex-wife told CNN that the pair met decades ago at the Starr Ballroom Dance Studio where he was a regular and which is where he opened fire.
	And it appears that he was hunting for his ex-wife at the time of the bloodbath in a possible fit of jealous rage.
	Now this of course is unusual for two reasons.
	I have rarely heard of mass shootings by Asians.
	There was that famous case, it must have been about 10 years ago at Virginia Tech, where an Asian student locked a bunch of students into a building, chained the door shut, and then went on a rampage.
	It was actually 2007, Mr. Taylor.
	Oh, time flies.
	Yes, indeed, 2007.
	Mr. Taylor.
	2000, it's told, time flies.
	Yes, indeed.
	2007.
	You have this chronologically ordered mind, unlike mine.
	But there was that case, and they're very, very rare.
	But lo and behold, in the space of just a couple of days, we had yet another Asian mass murderer.
	In this case, his name is Chun-Li Zhao, and he opened fire on workers at two farms in Half Moon Bay, which is a coastal agricultural community south of San Francisco.
	And he fatally shot seven of his co-workers and wounded another.
	He was apparently a resident of some years in Half Moon Bay, and he had received food and other support from non-profits that help indigent farm workers.
	Apparently, it was six men and two women whom he shot, and the names have not yet been released because the authorities are trying to notify the families.
	As one police spokesman says, As some of the victims were members of our migrant community, this represents a unique challenge when it comes to identification and notification of next of kin.
	I bet sometimes it's impossible to track people down, especially if people are illegally living under aliases, etc, etc.
	So we may never know the names of some of these people.
	But the question that immediately arises is, what was the race of the people who were shot?
	In the case of the Monterey Park dancers, all of them, it appears, were Asians.
	Although we don't have full details, the ones we know about are all Asians.
	A former employee at the Mountain Mushroom Farm, where Mr. Chun-Li Zhao worked, said that the employees worked in pairs.
	That is to say, chinos y mexicanos.
	In other words, Chinese and Mexicans worked separately.
	So, if it were colleagues, if it was colleagues that he was shooting, my guess is it was probably other Chinese, or maybe he had a grudge against the Mexicanos.
	We will see.
	So, these were particularly unusual and noteworthy, but I'm not sure they have any more real significance other than the fact that sometimes Asians, too, go postal.
	It's unusual, but sometimes they do it.
	One interesting aspect is the age of these guys.
	Mr. Hu in Monterey Park at age 72 is practically a record setter in terms of a mass killer.
	And Mr. Chun-Li Zhao at 62 is not that far behind.
	Another interesting element here was that we know the number of rounds fired by the Monterey Park killer, 42.
	And he killed 11, wounded 9.
	That's 20 people hit with 42 rounds.
	That's a reasonably good shooting.
	And this, I can't help but compare this to a New Year's Eve shootout in Louisville, Kentucky, between two gangs in which 600 rounds were fired and not a single hit.
	Of course, they were probably much more difficult targets taking cover and running around and shooting back.
	But even so, it strikes me as a remarkable contrast.
	Now, Monterey Park was in the news, oh, it must have been 20 years or more ago, when it was emptying itself of white people.
	Do you remember those stories?
	It was reported in a lot of places, including Atlantic.
	And one, there was a famous incident in which somebody had bought a billboard that said, will the last American to leave Monterey Park take down the flag or bring out the flag?
	Do you remember that story?
	I do actually, yes.
	It was one of those remarkable cases of white people being chased out by Asians, but the Asians would come and put Asian signs up everywhere, and even the street names got put up in Asian languages, and white people couldn't figure out where they were, and they just started moving out, and now I gather it's 65% Asian, about 25% Hispanic, and just a small, huddling minority of whites.
	But none of the current coverage of this seems to be involved in that at all.
	And one thing that I think can be said is the palpable disappointment in the media when it turned out that the person who shot these dancers, these Asian dancers, turned out to be yet another Asian.
	You could just see how disappointed all the big media were.
	Oh, this must not have been a hate crime after all.
	Doggone it!
	White people just aren't—they just can't be made to be as wicked as we want to make them out to be.
	But there's been another story, a similar sort of thing, in which the palpable disappointment of the leftist media has been very, very clear.
	And that has to do—a story in Memphis.
	This involved a young fellow, 29 years old, the name of Tyree Nichols, one of our melanin enhanced fellow citizens.
	He died on January 10th from cardiac arrest and kidney failure three days after he was pulled over for reckless driving by police in unmarked cars.
	Well, family attorney Ben Crump.
	Well, you know, there's going to be real excitement afoot when Ben Crump arrives on the scene.
	Of course.
	He said police.
	Yes.
	He's one of our favorite lawyers.
	He said police body cam footage, which has been viewed by the family and expected to be released, shows Nichols being shocked, pepper sprayed and restrained after the FedEx worker was pulled over.
	He was a human piñata for those police officers, said fellow family attorney Antonio Romanucci.
	It was an unadulterated, unabashed, nonstop beating of this young boy for three minutes.
	Crump says the encounter was violent and troublesome.
	And Romanucci called it savage.
	The U.S.
	Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into the arrest, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is looking into whether excessive force was used.
	And of course, the FBI, always ready to step in in cases like this, is involved.
	Now, for days, the city of Memphis was seething with anger, about to erupt in rioting.
	But, and a relative, Who wants the officers charged with first-degree murder told that his stepson had good reason to run from those officers?
	Well, uh-oh!
	Uh-oh!
	Hold the presses!
	Lo and behold, it turns out that all five cops were black.
	Suddenly, there seemed to be no more fear of riots in Memphis.
	Now, it's not as though everybody's happy, but no, they're not going to riot right now, and the five officers have been fired.
	Their names are Tadarius Bean, Tadarius, and Demetrius Haley.
	Emmett Martin, I'm sure, named in honor of Emmett Till.
	Emmett Martin.
	Then there is Desmond Mills and Justice Smith.
	All of them are African-Americans.
	All these are starting lineup for a college football team.
	Or college basketball team, I should say.
	It could be.
	It sure could be, couldn't it?
	Now, all of them were hired between 2017 and 2020, so they are newbies on the force, but they could face assault or homicide charges.
	Now, now that the race of these vicious white supremacists has been unveiled, Benjamin Crump Civil rights attorney says the officer's race is irrelevant, and black and brown motorists are treated differently from whites no matter who the police officer is.
	It's white supremacists showing up in the most astonishing places, and this must be a great example of it.
	So we'll see.
	We'll see how far this goes, and we'll see whether these guys actually go on trial, what kind of penalties they face, and it will be interesting to see just what the body cam footage looks like.
	Be that as it may, those have been some of the interesting events on the police front these days.
	But you have a different story on the Sheila Jackson Lee front, which is a never-ending source of fascinating information for those of us who pay attention to race.
	Yeah, this is from, well, you know, Mr. Taylor, I think it's an increasing amount of the Republican base and independents are beginning to realize that they might not care about race, but gosh, race sure does care about you, especially those whose entire identity and ongoing Attempts to make us believe that they're the eternally aggrieved We must be silenced for noticing our dispossession.
	This is from summit.news Paul Joseph Watson's fantastic website, which I can't recommend enough.
	It's title video colon Democrat rep lauds bill to make it criminal for white people to criticize non-white people implies Tucker Carlson could be prosecuted for speaking out against legislation and Now, of course, we're talking about Democratic Representative Sheila Jackson Lee suggested Monday that Tucker Carlson could be the first to be prosecuted under legislation she's introduced that would see any white person talking about replacement theory be criminalized.
	As previously noted, the legislation known as the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023 would categorize any speech that is found to have inspired a racially motivated crime as a hate crime.
	This draconian law would effectively make an individual responsible for someone else's crime if prosecutors were able to successfully argue that their political rhetoric was a motivating factor.
	The bill also targets speech that vilifies or otherwise directed against any non-white person or group on social media.
	Such content is read, heard, or viewed by a person who engaged in the planning, development, preparation, or Perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate crime, even if misinterpreted, the creator of such content is guilty of conspiracy.
	Well, I must step in here.
	It's not quite as bad as your correspondent says, because it is true that complaining about the Great Replacement, or if you say derogatory
	things about non-whites, and this leads to some kind of crime, then this is a brand
	new kind of hate crime known as a white supremacy inspired hate crime.
	However, it is also true that you could have said something complaining about Great Replacement,
	and somebody else goes out and commits a crime, but there has to be some kind of conspiracy
	between the person who speaks and the person who commits the crime.
	Now, the trouble with this is conspiracy is a very, very low bar.
	And in the famous trial of the people who were involved in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017, the judge astonishingly told the jury that you can be co-conspirators with people you've never even heard of.
	Now, it's unusual for that level, that such a low level of involvement to be considered a conspiracy.
	But there does, according to this law, this proposed law of Shiro Jackson, there has to be some kind of conspiracy.
	It can't simply be that you say, I don't want to become a minority, and you put that on the Internet and somebody sees that and says, wow, I don't either, and then goes off and commits a hate crime.
	No, that's not quite how it works, but it's close to being how it works.
	The other thing is, this law doesn't even have a single co-sponsor.
	And its chances of getting out of committee, I think, are zero.
	But it is a very, very important indication of the way many people are thinking in the United States today.
	So yes, people who want to basically erase the First Amendment and criminalize any criticism of Well, like you said, The Great Replacement, or Minority Black Crime, or white people just being able to speak.
	It's incredible.
	And, you know, what's fascinating, Mr. Taylor, about this whole article is that she appeared on Joy Reid's show.
	I believe that's on MSNBC.
	And Jackson Lee was asked, does this bill allow potential prosecution of people like Tucker Carlson?
	And Reid would exclaim further, because he is one of the people
	who promotes white supremacist ideology.
	Lee asserted, quote, the bill has nothing to do with speech.
	I was thinking about the Pledge of Allegiance that says justice and equality for all.
	And I would offer to say that everyone deserves justice and equality,
	except white people, obviously.
	Quote, it seems that the right wing extremists, the violent extremists, don't want that to happen,
	This does not criminalize speech.
	It's a crime bill, a criminal law bill, which means that intent would have to be proved.
	That was, that what generated out of the speech or your intent was to provoke someone to violence and that a violent act did occur.
	If Mr. Carlson or anyone else chooses to speak in ugly terms, his speech is protected.
	Lee also claimed that under such legislation, non-white people could also be prosecuted if they advocate for white supremacy.
	Sorry, uh, sorry, all of our, um, all of our non-white allies.
	She says this, quote, it's also, it's not a guarantee that white supremacy is promoted only by people who happen to be Caucasian.
	Lee explained, quote, it is a philosophy.
	It is a philosophy and a point of view that FBI director Chris Wray has spoken out about now for almost three years.
	Well, she doesn't understand her own bill either, which I've read.
	I've read every single word of it.
	And the intent of the speaker need not be to provoke a crime at all.
	The speaker simply can say things that are derogatory of non-whites, And a non-white person could do that.
	Or the speaker can also be opposed to replacement.
	And a non-white speaker could be opposed to that as well.
	But the speaker's intent need not be to provoke a crime.
	But someone needs to be inspired by those words, someone else, and the speaker needs to have conspired in some fashion with that person and the crime take place, even if the speaker was opposed to committing any kind of crime.
	It is a very loosely worded law, but I don't believe she even understands it herself.
	And it does not specifically exclude types of speech unless they can be linked in some way No matter how tenuous, to the commission of a crime.
	I'm not sure if you agree with what I'm about to say, but Tucker Carlson actually has been going, he's been doing phenomenal work
	discussing this on his program, which is one of the largest cable audiences for any program or any cable
	network. And he castigated the legislation last week, noting that, quote, this single bill would do
	more to criminalize speech than any other piece of legislation that has been proposed in the entire
	history of this country, end quote.
	I'd call that a vast exaggeration. We had the Alien Sedition Act, remember?
	And they made it a crime to criticize the public administration of the United States.
	Also, I don't think he appears to understand that there has to be some form of conspiracy between the speaker and the person who carries out the act.
	But be that as it may, again, this isn't going to become a law.
	If it became a law, it would probably be struck down on grounds of vagueness and on grounds of infringement of the First Amendment.
	But it is important to the extent that it just goes to show you how people who do not care about what happens to white people Are going to try to make some kind of end runner on the First Amendment, or in fact, modify it directly in order to shut people like us up.
	I think I used to think that it was impossible, Mr. Kerr, that you and I could ever go to jail because of the things that we say.
	Now I'm beginning to wonder if that would not in fact to be possible.
	People are now talking about trying to implement European-style hate crime laws in the United States.
	And we know, we know it happens pretty doggone often in places like Germany and England.
	You can go to jail simply for saying things.
	And France as well.
	Yes.
	As many of our listeners know, I am permanently banned from Great Britain because the things that I say are illegal there.
	And if I said them in Great Britain, it is very possible that I could go to jail.
	So if our rulers decide that the European model is one that the United States should adopt, And they find some way either to actually modify the language of the First Amendment or come up with some sort of courtroom interpretation of it that makes a carve-out for people like us.
	Then you and I might just have to shut our mouths or go to jail, Mr. Kersey.
	I no longer completely and totally exclude that possibility.
	We saw a Davos panel on just that.
	Yes, we did.
	I believe it was helmed by the disgraced former CNN host Brian Stelzer.
	That was the boy.
	That was the boy.
	There was a Czech lady who's the vice president for, what is it, inclusion and transparency of the European Commission, and she says, yeah, yeah, she's laughing when she says it, you Americans, you're going to get hate speech laws just like we have, and we have good reasons for having them, that Arthur Sulzberger, who is the publisher of the New York Times, he sat there and said nothing in opposition.
	We may have difficult times ahead, but there is a certain amount of reaction to some of this nonsense.
	You and I, I believe, was it the last podcast or two podcasts before, we talked about an episode at Hamline University in Minnesota.
	It had to do with a professor of art there, an adjunct professor by the name of Erica Prater, who had shown images of the Prophet Muhammad, and this had provoked an enormous stink.
	Well, more details are emerging and more developments, so I thought we should go over this again.
	As it turned out, she had issued a syllabus warning her students that the class would contain images of holy figures, including Muhammad and the Buddha.
	And students were told that they could contact her with any worries about this, and not a single one did.
	Also, in the very class when she showed this image of Muhammad, which was painted by a Muslim artist, by the way.
	I believe it's from the 14th century.
	Apparently, it's considered a masterwork of the genre of painting, of which it's a part.
	A few minutes before she showed it, she warned the students in the class that the prophet was going to be on screen, and they could leave the class if they wished.
	And not one left.
	And despite all these warnings, a senior in the class, a woman by the name of Aram Wedetela, complained to administrators about the imagery.
	And she also picked up support From other Muslim students who were not in the class, and then four days after class, Dr. Prater, the art teacher, was summoned to a video meeting with the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, who told her that what she'd done was as bad as using the N-word on black people.
	Oh boy, oh boy.
	And so a couple of weeks later, the university jerked its offer to have her teach art in the next semester.
	And they even put together a forum in which it was attended by dozens of students and faculty and administrators, and the offended Aram Wedetella described, often through tears, how she felt seeing the image.
	Apparently, she said nothing about what she felt when she heard the warnings, but when she saw the image, she was just devastated.
	Other Muslim students on the panel, all black women.
	Also spoke tearfully about struggling to fit in at Hamline.
	Oh boy, oh boy, the poor dears.
	And so as it turns out, these were homegrown black Muslims.
	I had thought when this first came out that there was some sort of fanatical Afghans or Pakistanis or something.
	No, these are all American Muslim, Muslim goofballs.
	In any case, the instructor's actions According to Hamline University, President Fainese Miller, she wrote a letter last month apologizing for the incident, and she acknowledged that academic freedom is very important, but argued it does not have to come at the expense of care and decency towards others.
	And a spokesman for the school said it was important that students feel safe, supported, and respected both in and out of our classrooms.
	Yes, respected, safe, and boy, showing a picture of a guy who's been dead for what, 2,000—no, not 2,000, about 1,400 years now.
	Oh, boy, that's going to make him feel dangerous.
	That's going to make him feel unsafe and disrespected.
	Something else I discovered—I didn't know at the time we first talked about this—the president of Hamline University.
	is likewise an African-Americanist.
	I guess I should have figured it out from the name.
	Fainese.
	F-A-Y-N-E-E-S-E.
	What kind of name is that?
	In any case, she told them that they all had to feel safe, and academic freedom comes second.
	Now, this is the encouraging development.
	Hamline University's full-time faculty on Tuesday asked President Fainese Miller to resign.
	What do you think of that?
	That's incredible.
	Yes.
	They voted 71 to 12, nine abstentions.
	They say, we are distressed that the administration has mishandled this issue and great harm has been done to the reputation of Minnesota's oldest university.
	As we no longer have faith in President Miller's ability to lead the university, We stand for intellectual debate and sharing of resources and knowledge without fear of censorship or retaliation.
	We stand for the right to challenge one another's views, but not to penalize each other for holding them.
	So what do you know?
	We don't know if this African-Americaness will decide to resign.
	I suspect she probably will not.
	But hooray for the faculty for telling her to get lost.
	Now, I would point out that I suspect Just about every one of these 71 faculty who voted to give it a boot, all are just ferocious liberals.
	And this is a very easy case in which you can stand up for academic freedom.
	And after all the warnings the instructor gave, and this black lady gets all tearful and upset for absolutely nothing at all, it's a great opportunity for somebody who's actually a liberal goofball himself to claim to be on for academic freedom.
	And I tell you, Mr. Kersey, I bet every one of them would go up like a Roman candle and shriek like a banshee if anybody proposed inviting me to speak on campus.
	But at least I'd say it's a baby step in the right direction.
	It is a step in the right direction.
	I agree.
	Yes.
	And this was a case that the New York Times actually had some sympathy for the art instructor.
	There was a big article about her.
	And it was only, I think, in light of all of this pressure on the school, and a lot of people wrote about this, that's probably what prompted the faculty to vote in the way they did.
	If this hadn't gotten that kind of attention, nothing would have come of it, I suspect.
	And maybe we'll see.
	Maybe these people do have some sort of real appreciation for freedom of speech and academic freedom.
	But my guess is they took this cheap opportunity to show off.
	And when push comes to shove and there's something they really don't like themselves, they would be just as cowardly as everybody else in academia.
	But maybe I'm underestimating.
	Now, meanwhile, another piece of good news from Texas.
	The recently founded University of Austin is reinventing higher education with plans that include banning tenure, ditching doctorate requirements for faculty, and hiring the leanest possible administration.
	The university's founders also promise an education without the censorship and enforced ideology present at most traditional universities.
	Bravo!
	They've already collected $105 million to fund and start this thing.
	And the president is the former president of St.
	John's College in Annapolis.
	St.
	John's College is one of those great books schools.
	And those are generally free of some of the worst sort of foolishness that is epidemic on campuses across the country.
	And his name is Pano Kanellos.
	Sounds like a Greek name to me.
	But just one week after announcing the university, also known as UATX, University of Austin at Texas, I guess that stands for, it received over 3,500 inquiries from prospective professors.
	Isn't that incredible?
	That's extraordinary.
	Yes, yes.
	I mean, that goes to show you all the people who are quietly, patiently, frustratedly chafing under this horrible orthodoxy under which we live and who are looking for a way out.
	Now they've had 5,000 people who want to come teach.
	You said, I'm sorry, initially I thought you said 500.
	It's 5,000?
	Additionally, 3,500 inquiries from people on it.
	Now they've had 5,000.
	5,000 inquiries.
	Yes.
	Because they're looking for professors who are first and foremost committed to the principles we hold of open inquiry, civil discourse, and freedom of conscience.
	Who will bring the widest variety of opinions, beliefs, and experiences to the table?
	How does that sound?
	UATX will not require full-time faculty to hold degrees.
	The degree that one holds is not a marker of the quality of their minds or teaching, Kanellos said.
	We don't want to be Yale, he said.
	Well, of course not, would be my view, despite the fact that I'm a graduate.
	The university plans to welcome its first class of approximately 100 undergraduates in the fall of 2024, and within five years, it expects a total undergraduate student body of approximately 1,000 people.
	That sounds like 250 people per class, and I suspect that would be 250 graduates plugged in to the American academic and social sphere that are probably pretty well-rounded and right-thinking people.
	He emphasized that admissions materials will include test scores and GPAs.
	Think of that!
	In contrast to the recent decisions by elite schools to ditch these requirements.
	To continually enforce and evaluate its free speech policies, UATX will have an independent judicial body to review complaints composed of experts from outside the university.
	But institution cannot police itself, Kanellos says.
	So, I'm profoundly impressed by this.
	Again, I don't know if they would be willing to invite somebody like Richard Lynn or Professor Thompson.
	I just don't know how far their real commitment to freedom of speech goes.
	But all of this sounds mighty good to me, and I'm sure it would be a vast improvement over what prevails at Yale and just about everywhere else today.
	Prevails anywhere.
	I mean, yes, that's yes.
	We talked about last week at purportedly one of the most conservative schools in the country, Texas A&M, where they bragged about removing alumni portraits of white men who had graduated from the medical program.
	But to finish up this story, they estimate that tuition will be about $30,000 a year.
	I guess that's a private school.
	And that'll be, but that's about half of what many elite school charge, elite schools charge.
	And as this Cantaloupe guy says, they're trying to take it really lean and mean.
	These days you have practically as many administrators, you have students and these counselors and diversity gurus and who knows what all else, basket weavers, but they're going to tear that absolutely to the bone, but it's still going to cost $30,000 a year.
	The university will initially lease buildings in downtown Austin, but it has secured undeveloped land and hired an architect to build a campus.
	They want to build a university town like Oxford or Cambridge with narrow streets and a mix of residential and commercial buildings.
	So what do you know?
	It seems to me about the time your children get ready to go to college, that might be a good place for them to go if you can afford $30,000 a year.
	Oh, there are a lot of good schools still in America, so hopefully sports scholarships or academic scholarships will befall them, and perhaps by that point the United States will be under a different orthodoxy.
	You know, managerial elite.
	No, we don't want an orthodoxy.
	We want it to be under good sense with, as this guy says, a robust disagreement with experts outside the university who will police questions of freedom of speech.
	Who knows?
	I'm against orthodoxy.
	Well, robust disagreement is impossible when diversity is the unifying principle.
	Well, that's for sure.
	Anti-whiteness is the Currency in which one navigates this increasingly hostile land.
	And anti-whiteness is invading astrophysics!
	This is one of those stories that you just wonder, is this the Babylon Bee?
	And then turns out, I don't know if you're back on Twitter yet or not, but there's a new website called Not The Bee.
	They have stories that you're like, this has to be fake.
	And this is one that, come on, maybe one of these Chat AIs wrote this up, but nope.
	Individualism is example of white supremacy in astrophysics.
	As an astrophysicist, I'm a product of institutions that are steeped in systemic racism and white supremacy, Professor Natalie Gosnell said.
	Now she's an astrophysicist at Colorado College, and she stated Suffers from systemic racism and white supremacy, as evidenced by its focus on individualism and exceptionalism.
	Professor Natalie Gosnell enjoys her work at the intersection of science and art, but one thing that she struggles with is the racism embedded in astrophysics.
	She also said the field had problems with violent and hyper-masculine bias.
	The Colorado College blog reported, Despite the strong ties she feels between art and science, she's had to work for years in a society divided.
	Gosnell sees the division rooted in the systemic racism and sexism that the physics institution has been born into, and it limits what physics could be, and limits the people who feel welcome practicing it.
	As an astrophysicist, I'm a product of institutions that are steeped in systemic racism and white supremacy.
	She told the university publication, quote, the tenets of white supremacy that show up in physics of individualism and exceptionalism and perfectionism.
	It's either or thinking.
	And there's no subtlety.
	There's no gray area.
	All of this manifests in the way that we think about our research and what counts as good research, what counts as important research?
	Question mark, she said.
	Now, most of Gosnell's career has been dictated by the hyper-masculine world of astrophysics.
	The blog reported now she is deciding that she doesn't have to fit into that mold.
	She's changing the way she teaches physics.
	And the way she professionally shares it, end quote.
	So basically she's making up stuff that goes against the laws of physics.
	So, she then said that some metaphors used in science are very violent and hypermasculine.
	The University publication gave an example of how journalists covered the topics of stars dying and transferring their mass to another star in a way that used a, quote, violent hypermasculine lens by calling them vampire star and cannibal star.
	I think because science and art have been so separated and there's systemic issues within science, the metaphors that are often chosen to discuss science are very violent and hyper-masculine."
	Dawson said.
	So, there you are.
	That's why the University of Austin is coming about.
	Yes, yes, and may it prosper and grow.
	Hyper-masculine!
	I wonder if there's any scientific discipline that she would not consider hyper-masculine.
	I sure don't consider these stargazers as testosterone-crazed furniture breakers or rapists or anything like that.
	What on earth is she on about?
	Well, you know, in math we have the same problem.
	An education professor delivered a lecture in early January at a major
	mathematician meeting, and the title of the talk was this, Undergraduate Mathematics Education as a White Cisheteropatriarchal
	Space and Opportunities for Structural Disruption to Advance Queer or
	Color Justice.
	Now, why or?
	Why not both?
	Why not advance queer and color justice?
	But in any case, that's quite a mouthful.
	Which one's more important to advance?
	Well, I guess it depends on your sex of that day or your orientation of the day.
	Or, but you can't change race, I suppose, so it's got to be one or the other.
	But now this is, this is now one word.
	Cisheteropatriarchal.
	That's quite a mouthful, too.
	And I'm rather proud of myself to have just tripped that off my tongue without stumbling.
	Cisheteropatriarchal.
	Cisheteropatriarchal.
	There you go.
	Very good.
	Very good.
	I'm probably cisheteropatriarchal.
	And hypermasculine.
	Hypermasculine.
	Oh boy, there you go bragging again.
	This lecture was by Luis Leyva, Associate Professor of Mathematics Education.
	Now, when you ever see education as part of a title, you know, oh, this guy, this guy knows nothing about the subject.
	If you actually knew the subject, he could teach math.
	What he teaches is math education.
	In any case, at Vanderbilt University, which is not one of the worst in the country, Leyva delivered the lecture on January 4th in Boston at the Joint Mathematics Meeting 2023.
	The Summit, according to its website, is the largest mathematics gathering in the world.
	And to quote from some of the incomprehensible lines in this guy's talk, I conclude by reimagining undergraduate mathematics education with structural disruptions that advance justice for learners marginalized across intersections of race, gender, and sexuality.
	His work Draws on critical race theory, women of color feminisms, in the plural, and queer of color critique.
	So there you go.
	He was named the 2022 LGBTQ Plus Educator of the Year by Out2Innovate.
	I love that.
	They're Out2Closet to innovate.
	Out2Innovate, a professional organization for LGBTQ plus people in STEM.
	Well, I'm mighty happy for you, Luis Leva.
	You're a prize-winning opponent of the cis-heteropatriarchal domination under which we live.
	Loud, proud, and ready to solve the Pythagorean theory, right?
	Wow.
	I guess so.
	But, you know, like this lady you were talking about in astrophysics, this binary thinking, well, you know, either you hit your target or you don't.
	Either you calculate the right trajectory to put it in orbit around the moon, or you don't.
	I mean, I just don't understand the approach to all of this.
	And what's the cisheteropatriarchal aspect of mathematics?
	It's the same thing.
	Either you get it wrong or you don't.
	I'd really love to sit one of these people down and say, well, you know, give me some concrete examples.
	Is the Pythagorean theory, is that racist, or is that homophobic, or is that sexist, or is it all three?
	I guess it's all three.
	Meanwhile, Nicole Hannah-Jones, my favorite New York Times journalist, she of course is the inventor of the 1619 Project.
	Correct.
	She was on an MSNBC town hall meeting called National Day of Racial Healing.
	Nicole Hannah-Jones' idea of racial healing might not be what you think, Mr. Kersey.
	She says, yes, we black people have gone through a lot.
	We've experienced a lot of trauma.
	We are still being harmed.
	But the people who cause the harm are the people who need to do the healing, the reflection, the fixing.
	Really, in other words, white people.
	So, Racial healing means you and I, and all the rest of us cisheteropatriarchal evildoers, are the ones who have to do all the work and they can just sit back and let us heal up a storm.
	She says, really, if we were just left alone, we'd be healed by now.
	Just left alone.
	Well, what would you guess that Nikole Hannah-Jones listens to National Public Radio?
	I would guess she does.
	And I wonder if she ever reads the NPR website, because if she does, she might have a pretty good idea as to what they'd be like if they'd been left alone.
	NPR had a remarkably... Beautiful way of putting that.
	NPR had a remarkably candid article on Haiti.
	Where her fellow Africans have been left alone ever since 1850.
	And boy, have they made a mess of things.
	Let me read a few passages from this.
	Even I was a little bit surprised.
	Things have gotten to more of a mess than I realized.
	NPR says, Haiti, a country long beset by catastrophe and political turmoil, is facing perhaps its steepest challenge in recent decades as its piecemeal government Now, lacking any democratically elected officials, struggles to chart a path forward amidst gang violence and a cholera outbreak.
	The constitutional mandate of Haiti's de facto ruler, Prime Minister Ariel Henry, which some viewed as questionable from the start since he was never technically sworn in, ended more than a year ago.
	So he's in office illegally.
	The country has had no president since its last one, Juvenel Moise, was assassinated in 2021.
	The Haitian Senate is supposed to have 30 members, and its lower legislative chamber is supposed to have 119.
	All of these seats are unfilled, and we'll get into why later on.
	And Haiti's elected mayors were all reappointed or replaced.
	Elected mayors reappointed or replaced in 2020.
	And last week, its 10 remaining senators departed office after their terms ended, leaving behind a nation's worth of elected offices that now sit empty.
	All these elected offices are empty.
	That may be just as well for the country in its own way, but gang violence has displaced more than 150,000 people from their homes and forced AIDS groups such as Doctors Without Borders to close and relocate staff.
	And cholera is suspected to have infected nearly 25,000 Haitians since October.
	40% of the population hasn't enough to eat, and thousands of the country's schools are
	closed, meaning millions of kids are...
	Mr. Taylor, real quick, if I could interject, you know, the word cholera is one that most
	people in the first world, across the Western world, don't understand unless they've played
	Oregon Trail back in the late 80s, 90s, that video game where, you know, your characters
	died of cholera.
	Would you just tell some of our listeners who might not understand what that means,
	what that word means, in a 2023 setting?
	Well, if I'm not mistaken, you get cholera because somebody who has cholera has defecated
	and you have ingested some of the feces.
	That's my, I may be wrong about that, but it has to do with the inability to maintain the most basic cleanliness standards.
	Is my understanding correct?
	You're talking about water supply being tainted, yes.
	Yes, you were tainted with just the sorts of things that you wish it were not tainted with.
	So there you go.
	And so millions of Haitian children, because the schools are closed, They haven't had any steady education or meals since the beginning of the pandemic.
	And even before the assassination of President Moise, he had been ruling by decree.
	There you go.
	He declined to call elections in 2018, and again in 2019.
	In other words, he's supposed to be up for re-election.
	So he says, ah, nah, we're going to call off the elections.
	And that means most of the country's legislators and mayors, their terms expired because there were no elections.
	So I guess he got to stay in office, but everybody else had to leave because their terms were expired.
	Pretty nifty.
	And then shortly before the still unsolved assassination, I bet Mr. Kersey will always be unsolved, Moise appointed Dr. Ariel Henry, the current top guy, to serve as prime minister.
	Because there was no quorum in the legislature to consider his appointment, Henry was never formally sworn in.
	So he doesn't even legally hold office either.
	And after Moise was snuffed out, Henry emerged from a power struggle as de facto ruler.
	But even that shaky constitutional backing ended long ago.
	Haiti's constitution requires elections to be held within 120 days of a presidential vacancy.
	And the 120 days That ended in November of 2021.
	So they respect their constitution about as well as we respect ours.
	Now key ports and roads are held by gangs who control an estimated 60% of Port-au-Prince.
	That's the capital.
	The UN said last month it would appeal for 719 million dollars in aid but double the amount of 2022 And Ulrika Richardson, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Haiti, said that the efforts to combat the worsening crisis would be ineffective unless the root causes of Haiti's problems are addressed.
	Now, Mr. Christie, what do you think?
	I think it's really simple.
	They didn't kill enough white people back in the revolution.
	That is a clause that's included in the Liberian Constitution.
	Now, the Haitian Constitution might have the same thing, but I'm not sure.
	But right, the root cause, that's right, they didn't kill enough white people.
	black republic in the world that I believe in the constitution that they created.
	Doesn't it say that only blacks can own land?
	That is a clause that's included in the Liberian constitution.
	Now the Haitian constitution might have the same thing, but I'm not sure,
	but right. The root cause that's right. They didn't kill enough white people.
	I remember reading a really good book, but shelf, it's called the vanishing white tribes.
	Um, and I think that they actually mentioned the fact that that wasn't their constitution.
	I might be wrong.
	If any of our listeners who've read that fantastic book, I can't recommend it enough, uh, about, about the, uh, that's actually when I kind of started thinking about the great replacement.
	I probably read that back in college, back in my gosh, 2002, maybe no high school.
	I was high school.
	I think I read that.
	So anyways, Well, one last little detail about, and remember this is National Public Radio, telling all of its woke, super liberal readers and listeners about Haiti.
	The last little detail, Patrice Dumont is one of the 10 senators who left office this month.
	I guess his term expired.
	Now, why those guys don't hang around the way the top boy does, I don't understand.
	They say, well, he stays in office, I stay in office too.
	But they've all buggered off.
	He says, this is Patrice Dumont, the situation we are facing now, it's made because of the bad choices made by Haitian actors, Haitian political leaders.
	What?
	What?
	The problem isn't white people.
	This is what I don't understand.
	I just don't understand.
	He's actually blaming it on Haitians.
	Wow, what a clear sighted, far thinking guy he is.
	Nicole, baby.
	Nicole Hannah-Jones.
	This is what happens when black people are left alone.
	So please go see it for yourself and stay a long time.
	No, I might want to revise the whole idea of traveling to Port-au-Prince and seeing Haiti.
	I think we can simply go to Baltimore, Detroit, or St.
	Louis, or maybe Jackson, Mississippi, and we can see the developing Haiti within our midst.
	But this seems like even more advanced black rule.
	This is Wakanda inverse squared.
	But I believe you have a story about how they're going to solve all their problems in Richmond.
	They've already solved most of the problems in Richmond with A.B.
	Hill being dug up.
	And this is a story, it's actually from a couple weeks ago, but I think it's an important one because this is not a Confederate.
	Richmond School Board has voted to rename George Wythe High School.
	Now, the Richmond School Board voted this week to include George Wythe High School in the ongoing effort by most members to change the names of schools for enslavers, or Confederates.
	The board voted in November to rename three schools named for Confederates, a move that prompted some opposition from board members who sided the cost, which range from $25,000 to $50,000 per school.
	Who cares?
	We've got to get rid of these nasty, wicked enslavers, or those who fought for the perpetual enslavement of I'm perpetually aggrieved.
	A process for public hearings doesn't guarantee the renaming of a school, but they have voted to do it.
	So Dana Fox, Richmond Public Schools, director of school construction, said it would cost less to change the name of the George Wythe High School now because the building will soon be rebuilt and it is in the design process.
	Construction would cover the cost of certain aspects of the name change, like a new marquee on gym floor, but not administrative costs like stationary or banned uniforms.
	Wythe, one of the, one of, so for those who aren't aware, Wythe was one of Virginia's seven signers of the Declaration of Independence.
	He was a lawyer, a judge, a state attorney general, and a legislator in what was then the House of Burgesses.
	At the College of William & Mary, he was the nation's first law professor.
	At various times, he was a teacher of and mentor to future presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe and future Chief Justice John Marshall.
	Wythe voiced opposition to slavery, but owned slaves most of his life.
	He began to free some of the slaves after his wife died in August of 1787, according to the Encyclopedia of Virginia,
	and owned no slaves at the time of his death. In
	1806, at the age of 79, Wythe was fatally poisoned in Richmond and his teenage grandnephew was charged with the
	murder.
	Anyways, his death His death was the subject of a 2009 book
	The point is, everybody who said that, hey, listen, it's not going to stop with Confederates.
	You know, you can walk down Monument Avenue now, and the pedestals don't even exist that once held up the gorgeous statues of Jeb Stuart, Robert E. Lee, or Stonewall Jackson.
	Those are all gone.
	Well, tell me, this guy sounds like, certainly for his time, something of a liberal.
	He was opposed to slavery.
	He freed his slaves.
	He was a distinguished signer and professor.
	And so they're presumably getting rid of him only because at one time in his life, even though he opposed slavery, he owned slaves.
	Is that correct?
	That's 100% correct.
	Well, then do they have any schools, public schools in Richmond named George Washington Elementary or High School or Middle School?
	Because he's got to go for sure.
	For Thomas Jefferson, I'm trying to think, I think there's a statue of Washington near,
	and Jefferson too, near the State House in Richmond. Of course, you know, for anybody
	who visits Richmond, I can't recommend going to Hollywood Cemetery enough.
	That is where there's an obelisk that was built in 1860—I'm sorry, not an obelisk, a pyramid—that was built in 1869 to commemorate the Confederate dead.
	It's one of the more beautiful, awe-inspiring sights you'll ever see.
	But my point is, if simply owning slaves—and that's the long and the short of it—they can't have a school name for Madison, Jefferson, Washington.
	Jackson, any of those guys, any of those guys.
	And if they're consistent, they're going to dump them all.
	Well, Hank, we're running way out of time, but here is a story.
	No more aloha for you, Howling.
	Aloha, that is the Hawaiian greeting, of course, and ola and shalom.
	On the surface, simple greetings and phrases from other races and cultures may seem fine to sprinkle into your vernacular.
	They may even seem inclusive.
	But beware!
	Did you know that aloha doesn't just mean hello or goodbye?
	It's a greeting or a farewell, but the meaning is deeper, says Maile Arvin, Director of Pacific Island Studies at the University of Utah.
	That seems like a long way from the Pacific Islands, but there she is.
	Aloha means recognizing yourself in everyone and everything you meet, and if you're not Hawaiian and you say it, it could come off as mockery.
	So, as I say, no more aloha for you, Howling, and the use of certain words requires education, knowledge, and the foresight to understand when they should or should not come out of your mouth.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, I guess it's all over for sayonara, or hasta la vista, baby, but I wonder about Ciao.
	Ciao is Italian.
	Do you think it's possible to insult Italians, or is it only non-Europeans who could be insulted?
	Hasta la vista, baby.
	Hasta la vista, Whitey.
	Yeah, that's very good.
	Hasta la vista, Whitey.
	Well, as I say, our cup runneth over, our time runneth under.
