Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jerry Taylor, and with me is my co-host, the indispensable Paul Kersey.
And it is April 20th, anno domini, 2023.
How are you today, Mr. Kersey?
You know what?
It is absolutely gorgeous in my neck of the woods.
I hope each and every one of our listeners is also having a wonderful spring.
Is it officially spring?
Dunno.
It looks like spring to me, except for our Southern Hemisphere listeners, of which there are quite a number.
They're enjoying a lovely fall day, we hope.
Agreed.
And you know, it's funny, before we get started, I just want to say thank you to each and every one of our listeners.
We get such great commentary, comments, suggestions, corrections.
And I know we're about to start with those, Mr. Taylor, but I thought we'd go ahead and get this out of the way.
We love hearing from you.
So before we even get started with today's podcast, if you want to do anything in regards to get in touch with us, be part of the newsletter that is sent out once a week, or if you have just any story ideas, shoot them over to BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
Once again, because we live here at Protonmail.com, or you can go to American Renaissance at amren.com.
A-M-R-E-N.com.
Hit the Contact Us tab, and I will get your message.
So, yes, you are correct, Mr. Kersey.
We have some interesting comments from our well-informed, insightful, and sometimes good sense of humor listeners.
One writes in to say, A story about Ghana.
On Thursday, it became the first country to approve a new malaria vaccine for young children.
Preliminary results from early testing of the new vaccine, developed at the University of Oxford, have suggested it's far more effective than the only malaria vaccine now authorized for use by the World Health Organization.
Late stage testing of the vaccine, very encouraging, underway in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali, and Tanzania.
And the listener says, is this white men doing jobs black men won't?
He also wants to know, is this cultural appropriation with blacks adopting products made only by whites?
Third question, will we get any reparation credits here for whites having developed medicines primarily for the benefit of blacks?
Those are piercing questions, Mr. Kersey.
I don't think the media is going to attempt to try to answer them.
I'm afraid not.
No.
And here's another comment.
A previous listener noted that the hosts of this wonderful podcast, that is you and that is me, Mr. Kersey, think fundamentally differently.
Uh, from the way the subjects they frequently describe think.
That's true.
There's no more clear illustration of this than when Mr. Taylor was befuddled.
I think that's the right word.
I don't often like to think of myself as befuddled, but I was befuddled by how our black fellow citizens shooting each other could get them affordable housing.
Now, this was, in reaction, one of those absurd explanations about why blacks shoot each other.
You know, they just don't have affordable housing.
And so I guess, you know, blaze away at each other and all of a sudden they're going to get, you know, $400,000 house for $30 a month.
And this guy says, sir, it is exactly black people shooting each other that brings down the value of housing to levels that the underprivileged can afford.
That's one of the fundamentals of African-American housing market.
So there you go.
Shoot each other a few times and the housing price comes, your neighborhood comes down.
I hadn't thought of that.
I was befuddled.
Thank you, listener.
We are now much more on the ball.
And yet another comment.
Last week, you and Mr. Kersey talked about Minneapolis getting the call to prayer.
That is the famous Muslim adhan at all official hours every day.
Our listener points out that the time of the call to prayer is determined by the position of the sun.
And here are the prayer times on the summer solstice in Minneapolis in June.
That's when the day is longest.
So the very first call to prayer will come blaring out of the minaret at 3.30 in the morning.
Then you get another one at 5.27 if you hadn't already been awake.
Then 1.16 p.m., 5.25 p.m., 9.04 p.m., and just when you try to drop off to sleep at 11.01 p.m.
Five times a day.
When the days are short, prayer times get bunched together.
In the winter solstice, The first call to prayer, instead of being at 3.31 in the morning, is at 6.20 a.m.
So it's almost three hours later.
And then the last call to prayer is at 6.04.
So they're all contracted in just a 12-hour period.
So instead of 11 p.m.
for your last one, you get to sign off with God at 6.04 p.m.
Our listener writes in to say, I've spent time in the Middle East.
This call to prayer is loud.
It's no little thing.
Well, I have to agree.
I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a couple of weeks.
Don't ask me to explain why, but there I was, and it sure woke me up every morning.
I was in a nice hotel, but you could hear that thing blazing away on the loudspeaker.
So, yep, the people of Minneapolis are going to have a fine old time, but that's multiculturalism for you.
And here is another interesting comment.
A listener says, the Biden administration?
You'll particularly like this one, Mr. Kersey.
The Biden administration is spending up to $1 billion in taxpayer funds to promote equitable access to trees.
Remember shade equity?
Oh, I do.
Ah, shade equity.
We owe that.
That's part of reparations.
That's part of equity.
That's part of the white man's burden.
Growing trees for those who refuse to grow them themselves.
The money is available to universities, nonprofits, and states working to increase tree cover in urban spaces and boost equitable access to nature and advance environmental justice by mitigating the impact of climate change on communities who lack tree cover.
Well, let us remind our listeners that the parent organization of American Renaissance is a nonprofit.
So the money is available to universities, non-profits, and states.
So maybe I'll apply for a grant.
You know what I'd like?
I would like an African baobab tree in the backyard.
I mean, wouldn't that just shriek shade equity, diversity, virtue?
Do you know what a baobab tree looks like?
I'm going to look it up as we're talking.
No, please take a look at it.
Please delineate.
Well, people often describe it as a tree that appears like it was torn out by its roots and then struck straight back down in the ground, upside down.
If you get a picture of it, you'll see baobab, it's spelled just the way it sounds, B-A-O-B-A-B, the baobab tree.
So while you're looking up the baobab tree, I have really rather disturbing news here.
Sometimes we have disturbing news and sometimes we have disturbing news.
And this is nearly six years after a large gathering of white nationalists in Charlottesville—that was the ill-fated Unite the Right rally of 2017—when, as the news reports say, interrupted and violent clashes.
Well, counterprotesters attacked the protesters.
But six years later, a grand jury in Virginia had decided to indict people on felony charges for carrying flaming torches with the intent to intimidate.
As some of our listeners will recall, on the first day of the rally, they marched through the campus of the University of Virginia with tiki torches.
Indictments against three people have been unsealed.
I find this very interesting because there must have been 200, 250, maybe 300 people with their tiki torches, but only three have been indicted.
William Smith of Nakona, Texas, Tyler Dykes of Bluffton, South Carolina, and Dallas Medina, I've never heard of any of these people, but each is charged with a single count of burning an object with the intent of intimidating a person or group of people.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison.
So, I'm very curious about this.
Burning an object with the intent of intimidating a person.
That apparently is some Virginia state law.
I'm sure it's an anti-Klan law.
But why these three guys?
Why not the rest of the 250 or 300?
This makes no sense to me.
I guess these three guys, they absolutely know.
They can read their mind.
They know exactly why they were carrying those tiki torches, but they have no idea why the other guys were carrying their tiki torches.
And Mr. Kersey, I can't help thinking about the Minneapolis 3rd Police Precinct.
It seems to me, now I don't know what Minneapolis state law is like, But that entire police building occupied and burned down and all the fires being set in 2020, do you think there might be an intent to intimidate some of those fires that were burned?
Or was that just a youthful hijinks?
Well, that's youthful hijinks in the words of the new mayor-elect of Chicago.
We'll get to him.
That was celebratory fire, Mr. Taylor.
Again, our civilization was overthrown and usurped in Memorial Day 2020, and we have to realize that.
This is just incredible.
And apparently, these charges were brought by a Soros-backed Democrat who defeated the Republican incumbent DA.
And the incumbent refused to bring these charges.
He was asked to do so, and he says, no, no, there's just no case here.
And the Soros-backed Democrat hammered the Republican when he was running for office on this and promised that he was going to indict these violent criminals who attended the rally.
And now he's delivering on his promise.
This is just incredible.
This is, of course, exactly what Alvin Bragg did.
He's indicting the president of the United States.
When the previous officeholder examined the charges and says, nope, there's no there there.
But boy, these Democrats are really rolling up their sleeves.
And this kind of selective prosecution is a indication of things to come, Mr. Kersey.
So, you know, there could be a time you and I, you and I could face charges for who knows what.
Even back, I remember when George Wallace was running for president, he was complaining about all the laws on the books that could be dredged up to indict somebody.
He says, I could indict a ham sandwich if I wanted to.
Well, now they are certainly indicting anyone they want to for absolutely any reason they seem to want to.
But Mr. Kersey, because you are always aware of everything that happens in America, you know all about these mistaken shootings.
One was famous.
One was very famous.
That was the case of 84-year-old Andrew Lester, a white man in Kansas City.
He's been charged for shooting Ralph Yarrow, age 16, on the doorstep of his suburban home last Thursday.
He could face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted of first-degree assault.
And it appears that Lester fired two shots through a glass door with a .32 caliber revolver.
That's an unusual weapon, if you ask me.
I've never seen a .32 caliber revolver.
In any case, he shot through the glass door after Yarrell had come up and rung the doorbell.
This is the middle of the night.
Lester claims he was terrified and he hit him in the head and in the arm.
And according to all the news reports, there were some that said that he actually entered the house.
Now they're saying he never crossed the threshold.
Now, local media do cite court documents saying that Yarov told the police who interviewed him at the hospital, this is a guy who was shot, that Lester told him, don't come around here.
So whether that makes a difference, I don't know.
However, prosecutor says the case has a racial component, but he's not elaborating as to what the racial component was.
Prosecutors have not filed hate crimes charges, which carry a lesser penalty in Missouri than the two counts Lester already faces.
I think he could do life in prison, as I said before.
So they're not going to bother with hate crime charges.
You know, we want this guy to die in prison.
Oh, they'll totally go with hate crime charges.
I'm sure the feds will do that.
Come on.
Well, yeah, they probably will.
Now, President Joe Biden got on the phone.
With this now, this brand new 16-year-old black hero, Ralph Yarrow.
You know, they become heroes for the most obscure, well, not obscure, for the most unheroic reasons.
But he's the new hero.
And according to the White House, they spoke about Ralph's recovery.
And Ralph reminded the president that his mama, Cleo Nagbe, who is an African immigrant,
who was also on the phone, that Cleo Nagbe is not only a nurse but a physical therapist.
And a white official said they discussed how fortunate Ralph was for that.
And Biden and Yarrow also talked about their family's history and their love of music.
And this is the clincher.
As soon as Yarrow, who is now a high school junior, as soon as he is recovered, the president
has invited him to the Oval Office.
And Kamala Harris and her husband are also praying for Ralph Yarrow.
The world has just poured out its heart for this guy.
Well, he was in the hospital for four nights, but he's back at home recovering.
And a GoFundMe account for Ralph Yarrow, last I checked, had picked up $3.2 million.
So this is quite a jackpot for the latest new black hero.
Now, moving on to a somewhat different story.
You've probably heard about this.
The two Texas cheerleaders were shot in northeast of Austin after they got in the wrong car in a grocery store parking lot.
Kind of an equivalent and similar story.
This was at an H-E-B supermarket in Elgin, about 25 miles north of Austin.
Heather Roth, a cheerleader with the Woodlands Elite Cheer Group, ...said she and three other cheerleaders had completed practice, and they went to a carpool lot.
She opened the door of the car that she thought was hers.
It was not, and there was somebody in the passenger seat.
Uh-oh!
So they hopped back out of the car, went back to their friend's vehicle, and the person who was in the passenger seat approached, and Roth rolled down the window to apologize.
And what does a guy do?
He doesn't accept their apology.
He starts blazing away.
Yes.
So Roth was likely injured as someone by the name of Peyton Washington, a light-skinned black cheerleader, was critically wounded.
She had to be airlifted to the hospital.
Now, my question to you.
She's black.
She's female.
Why isn't she a hero?
Is she going to be invited to the Oval Office?
She's got lovely hair that Mr. Biden can sniff.
But why is her GoFundMe only $114,000 as opposed to millions?
Well, I've got the answer for you.
The shooter's name is Pedro Tello Rodriguez, Jr.
And from his photographs, he looks like a very primitive Amerindian.
So there is no benefit in being shot by a homely Amerindian.
Poor Peyton Washington had the bad luck not to be shot by a white guy, so no Oval Office invitation for her.
Who whom?
Yes, boo-hoo.
No, no, I said who whom in regards to the shooter.
It's just unreal.
Yep, yep.
I mean, just so bloody transparent.
Now here's an even better one.
In Gaston County, South Carolina, several young children, all white, were playing basketball When the ball rolled down the street and into the yard of a black gentleman known as Robert Singletary.
I'm using the term in the absurd way that police officers sometimes do when they're talking about thugs.
And the neighbor said Singletary was new to the area and often got angry with children.
Well this time I guess he decided to solve the children problem once and for all.
He whipped out a gun, ran down the street blazing away.
And William White, the father of six-year-old Kinsley White, who was in the line of fire, ran down the street to protect her.
Kinsley's mother was outside too, and she heard Singletary say, I'm going to kill you!
Well, Singletary was chasing them and shooting, and Kinsley's father tried to draw gunfire towards him and away from the children.
He was shot in the back in his front yard, seriously wounded, and now in the hospital.
Singletary apparently shot at another man during the incident but missed.
Kinsley, the six-year-old, was grazed on the cheek.
Had to get stitches.
And Kinsley's grandmother was also there.
She says, Singletary kept shooting, missing repeatedly until he was out of bullets.
I believe you'd have gotten me and my husband too, says grandmama.
He just ran out of bullets.
So there you go.
Singletary was previously accused of hitting his 21-year-old girlfriend in the head with a mini sledgehammer.
I guess it was one of those hard-headed black ladies.
You just can't dent them with a mini sledgehammer.
She's still alive.
He's out on bond.
Now, oddly, President Biden and VP Harris have taken no interest in this case either.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Oh, boy.
Just reverse the races and man, oh, man, they would be all over this case.
Everyone in America would have heard of these people.
But no.
But, you know, I guess it's true.
They have official duties, which they probably couldn't do if they were on the phone with every white family murdered or attacked by blacks, so I guess we have to understand.
Oval Office time is valuable, Mr. Kersey, so you just can't pick up the phone and call every poor white guy who has been, without any reason, unprovoked, attacked by a black.
Or even a black person attacked by a Hispanic.
See, that's the one that really grieves me.
Her name is Washington, too.
Boy, oh boy.
I mean, I thought that would be a classic case.
She's expected to recover, this poor cheerleader, but, you know, as I say, she just had the terrible misfortune of being attacked by a Mexican or some other Amerindian, and just no payday for her, morally or financially.
But of course, We will hear about Ralph Yarrow forever and ever, and poor old 84-year-old Andrew Lester will no doubt rot and die in jail because he's another vicious racist white man.
And you know, if there's ever any commentary on this Singletary guy who runs down the street trying to murder white children, if he is—once he's arraigned, they'll say, oh, he was suffering from mental problems.
That's what they always say.
Mental problems.
Mental problems.
Yeah, mental problems.
But white people never suffer from mental problems.
No, this old 84-year-old white guy, I'm sure, he was just a vicious racist.
No mental problems for white people.
But, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story on how kneeling can be good for your career.
Yeah, I'm trying to digest what you just talked about.
Those were three very interesting stories that really showcase black run America to its To its horrific extent of just what's happened.
You think about, it'd be a very interesting list to go back to Biden, I'm sorry, to go back to Barack Obama and to look at the individuals that Barack Obama and Joe Biden called from the White House when it came to a racial incident.
Yes.
You know, just real brief.
Maryland's new black governor, Wes Moore, he tweeted out something today about Freddie Gray.
And as you know, to celebrate Freddie Gray and to bring about.
Interest in the so-called racial justice events that took place back in what was that 2015?
I guess that yeah 2015 when Baltimore had the riots and if you recall, mr. Taylor The the black leadership in Baltimore spent years trying to convince CVS to come to Baltimore because they had a food desert and and a pharmacy desert and a civilization desert and one of the first things that was burnt down was that CVS in the name of Freddie Gray, so Yeah, but as you said, this is a story from Daily Signal, and it does show you how to get ahead in a country where Black Lives Matter reigns supreme overall.
More than white lives, we know that.
The President sure doesn't give a hoot about white lives.
No, he does not.
Two FBI agents who knelt at BLM rally gained promotions.
Kneeling could be an avenue to rise to the ranks of the FBI, judging by promotions for two agents who did so in solidarity with Black Lives Matter protesters.
One of the two agents appears in a video for Alma Mater saying that the FBI seeks a diverse workforce to ensure that the Bureau is looking like the communities that we represent.
Protests and riots linked to the BLM movement swept the nation in the weeks and months after the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd.
In some cases, law enforcement joined the protest.
At least six FBI agents from the Bureau's Washington, D.C.
field office were photographed kneeling during a BLM march on June 4, 2020, and were referred to derisively on social media as Kneel Team Six.
I don't remember that.
I remember the picture.
I never knew that they actually had an official moniker.
I think that's great.
Kneel Team Six.
Yeah.
There's some clever people out there.
I wish I'd come up with that.
That's great.
Well, one third of the Neil Team Six has now been promoted.
The Daily Signal identified two of the Neilian agents through direct and indirect communications with former and current FBI officials.
They are Sarah Webb Linden, who was promoted from special agent to assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's D.C.
field office, and Amy Oakes, who was promoted from agent to lead cybercrime's counterintelligence agent.
Former FBI agent Kyle Serafin identified both women to Daily Signal.
He's communicated with six former and current FBI agents who aren't authorized to speak publicly, but they also confirmed the two.
The officials are believed to be in the group of photographed kneelers, the ones who were just mentioned, although Serafin said he couldn't positively identify anyone else after consulting the current and former agents.
Correlation and causation aren't the same, of course, so it doesn't mean that Lyden and Oaks were promoted within the FBI because they knelt in protest.
The personnel decisions do indicate, however, the FBI brass had little problems with their doing so.
In quote, in the meeting, there was praise for all who knelt, Serafin told the Daily Signal.
They were told they did the right thing and did not escalate the situation, end quote.
Now, if memory serves correct, if if the picture was taken on June 4th, 2020, that was only a few days after the Assault on the White House when President Trump was taken to the basement and he wanted to enact the Insurrection Act.
And of course, that's when 60 plus Secret Service agents were sent to the hospital for serious injuries.
And we still know really nothing about what actually happened that day.
But that just shows you that these FBI agents, again, how many of those people were even arrested, Mr. Taylor, that tried to assault the White House?
They certainly have not put the video record of their faces on bus stops in Washington, D.C.
They certainly haven't turned that into a massive manhunt the way they've done for the J6ers.
No, the flagrant double standards have gotten to the point where even normies must be wondering what kind of country they live in.
But, you know, kneeling, yes, kneeling is good for your career.
I wonder if they would have been promoted even quicker if they'd just gone completely face down That's really, I think, what was appropriate under the circumstances.
Merely taking a knee?
Come on.
Take a belly.
Take a belly for Black Lives Matter.
Well, at least clean the shoes.
At least wash the feet.
There are plenty of other things that you could do on your knee to signify Uh, complete, uh, acquiescence and right.
I mean, cause again, when the third precinct burned Mr. Taylor in Minneapolis, that's when the monopoly on violence was shifted from the police and the FBI to, to, to the BLM and to the Antifa.
And as we've seen in countless cities across, well not countless, but in many municipalities, uh, these BLM Antifa protesters are actually getting paid for the police having dared to do anything to try and stop the riots.
That's right, quite incredible, quite incredible.
It's been a nice payday for them.
The police apparently went beyond their mandate in trying to maintain control of these cities.
As the police in Chicago, who knows what they're going to run into too, because for four nights in a row, The Chicago PD was forced to call for reinforcements from all around the neighboring areas as downtown large numbers of teens, teens, gathered and engaged in rioting violence and even a few shootings.
The carousing began Wednesday night at 10 p.m.
200 teens erupted in a mass fight in Millennium Park.
Millennium Park, of course, is the park where Barack Obama famously gave one of his rousing acceptance speeches.
I think, isn't that where he predicted that climate change is going to be over and the seas were going to stop rising, this new era?
In any case, in Millennium Park, maybe we've got the particular occasion wrong, but it's famous for one of his self-congratulatory speeches.
And it was just at the southern end of the magnificent, or perhaps once magnificent, mile.
The Wednesday night incident became the city's first large group incident.
I guess that's a police euphemism for young blacks running wild.
A large group incident.
The crowds of unruly teens were back on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as police struggled to head off violence.
And you probably saw the videos, teenagers jumping on mass transit buses and rushing through the streets of Chicago, jumping on cars, twerking, and bashing in car windows.
And two boys, 16 and 17-year-olds, were reportedly hit by bullets.
Somehow, these large group incidents attract just passing bullets, it seems.
And on Saturday, as part of the fun, a terrified white woman was filmed screaming as she was set on by a group of youngsters during an orgy of violence.
And, uh, uh, she was just trying to get into her apartment building at, uh, close to the map.
Yeah, I saw, I saw it cause it, it, it, it went viral on social media.
And I believe it turns out that she was in a interracial relationship.
She was.
She still is.
I mean, again, she's set upon by, By scores of people.
It's a crazy video.
Yes, it is.
Unfortunately, you can't see what she looked like once they were through with her, but I don't think it was a very pleasant time for her.
Now, of course, outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot insists that mayhem is an insulting word and not to be used.
But this 19 second video of these black teenagers going around this white woman, she is just screaming in fear.
And the footage was tagged with the caption, yay, we get active.
Yes.
Why not?
Yay, we be active.
The four nights of violence come only three days after Chicago was chosen as the site for the DNC's 2024 convention.
Perfect place for them.
They can get up close and friendly with all their natural constituents.
And only 10 days after the city elected a radical soft on crime, defund the police, progressive to the mayor's office.
And in fact, Chicago's mayor-elect, Brandon Johnson, he said, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved Bigger part, who've been starved of opportunities in their own community.
Starved of opportunities.
So they come down and gorge themselves on opportunity at the Magnificent Mile.
The police were unable to control or handle the damage, and their numbers may have exceeded a thousand.
And last week, good old Brendan Johnson, mayor-to-be, he claimed the blame for the city's rising crime rate was laid at the feet of businesses, because he says 70% don't pay corporate taxes.
And poverty, of course, has led to violence.
All of those thousand black youth, of course, were just starving to death.
That's why they were there.
Poverty makes you do that kind of thing.
It does, of course.
And then Mayor Lori Lightfoot, yeah, she said the vast majority of young people came downtown because it was great weather and it was an opportunity to enjoy the city.
That's absolutely entirely appropriate, says Lightfoot and Lori.
Oh, boy.
I mean, as I say, how can even normies who believe, at least try to believe what they've been told in the media, how are they going to digest this sort of thing?
We'll see.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I'm sure you remember that at the last American Renaissance Conference, we had a retired Boise police officer who came and spoke, gave a great talk.
He's really a first-rate fellow.
Mr. Taylor, if I could interrupt, before we get there, if we go back to Chicago real quick, I just want to point out one very important thing about Chicago.
It's a lot like Florida.
Back in 2018, Ron DeSantis, I believe, beat Andrew Gillum, who was facing 25 years in prison.
In a federal trial right now.
He only won by 30 by I think 30,000 votes.
It was very, very close.
Paul Vallis was the white Democrat who ran against the now black mayor elect.
And what's fascinating about this is it was a very close race.
And, you know, Chicago is about 33% white, 33% black, 33% Hispanic.
And it was this great article that pointed out that Johnson racked up 80% of the black vote on Chicago's south side and ran strongly among white liberals on the lakefront.
Now, Vallis prevailed in the mostly white working class wards in the northwest and southwest sections of the city, but his margins were not large enough to overcome Johnson's margins elsewhere.
And the article points out with no Hispanic candidate on the ballot, turnout in the Hispanic majority wards was reportedly anemic.
So here's, you know, democracy is pretty much just a racial headcount.
And unfortunately for the Good citizens of the second city because the black vote garnered Mr. Johnson just a few more votes than ballots.
You know, Chicago's done in a lot of ways.
I think you're gonna see a lot more, you know, commercial real estate vacancies as you're seeing all across the country.
You're gonna see more closures like we're seeing in Portland.
An REI store just shut down in Portland.
There's gonna be no commerce left in these places and And of course, no tax base.
Yes.
And if you hate the police to begin with, there is no chance of getting competent officers.
This guy still wants to defund the police.
I believe you've actually pointed out that Chicago has the most vacancies of major police forces because people have just said, hey, I'm going to the suburbs.
I'm done with Illinois.
I'm getting the heck out.
And I think Chicago really represents that red That red blue divide in America where, you know, Missouri, Iowa, you know, Iowa is getting redder and redder.
And Illinois is unfortunately getting bluer and bluer because you just have these goofy black mayors who, like you said, I mean, he's just, hey, let these kids be kids.
It wasn't anything bad.
It wasn't anything bad.
And you wonder as the weather gets warmer, are these large scale incidents only going to become more and more the norm?
Well, a good friend of mine has got a bet on with members of his family as to how many people will be shot and how many people will be killed over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago.
Yes, one of those gruesome little things.
You know, maybe we'll get to the point where official bookmakers will be offering odds.
I'm surprised they don't already.
Yeah, you know, people have a good time doing that.
You know, look at, you know, look at what they call the racing form.
Look over the previous years, you know, yeah, what's the climate like?
What's the weather forecast?
Yeah, I'd guess about 80 shootings, 25 fatalities.
We'll see.
But yes, back to our Boise police officer who spoke at the American Renaissance Conference.
Well, the city of Boise, Put together an independent commission to investigate the city police department because one of its veterans, one of its recent retirees, had actually said some sensible things about race.
But it's quickly running through the allotted funds for this investigation.
Boise foolishly hired Washington, D.C.
law firm Steptoe & Johnson in December.
As I recall, they were going to be charging $500, $600, maybe $700 an hour to run this investigation, and they only set aside $500,000 for this, you see.
But this is after racist writings and videos from Boise Police Captain were uncovered.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
Some of the materials were authored under pseudonyms while he was still employed by the department.
This just got under their skin.
They just could not stand.
And then they learned that he was going to speak at a conference for white supremacists.
They don't mention us by name, but they call us white supremacists, so they're just so on the ball.
And as I say, they set aside half a million for this, but the money ran out in March.
And the investigation was put on hold.
As of February 28th, Steptoe and Johnson had invoiced the city for $430,285.86.
And so the rest, they've already worked their way through the rest, so the work is stopped.
$430,285.86.
And so the rest, they've already worked their way through the rest,
so the work is stopped.
And the mayor's office will have to decide whether to ask the city council for more dough
so they can keep going.
And as of now, see this is the best part, Steptoe hasn't said a word about what its initial fundings are.
This sounds like a shakedown to me.
Of course, we know what the fundings are going to be.
No one is going to find any record of misbehavior by this Boise captain who spoke at our conference.
No one is going to find any example of anything that he ever did wrong.
All this money is a complete waste.
But Steptoe and Johnson are laughing all the way down to the bank in Washington, D.C.
Now, this is one of these human interest stories that I think really intrigue our listeners, certainly intrigued me.
Did you know this, Mr. Kersey?
I know you're awfully on the ball, but you might have missed this story.
A Louisiana woman who has set the Guinness World Record for the largest afro three times in the last 13 years says she's breaking the record again.
And she does this personally to vouch for the beauty of natural hair.
It's about pride in textured hair, which leads to self-love, says she.
She remembers growing up coveting the databases of the Guinness World Record for the longest hair.
Some cultures have historically associated straight hair with beauty.
Imagine that.
But by the time Even Douglass, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that name correctly or not, but it's spelled A-E-V-I-N, Even Douglass, by the time she was in her 20s, she'd come to admire the natural hairstyles of black women as an expression of identity and pride.
So she began growing her Afro hairdo, which was her trademark, in about 1999.
Its circumference in 2010 measured 4 feet 4 inches, which gave her the Guinness World Record for the fattest Afro for the first time.
She bettered that record Just 11 years later, with nearly 5 feet 2 inches, before setting the current mark of 5 feet 5 inches in Chicago.
Wow!
Now, I've seen photographs of her.
It looks bigger around than that.
It's just an absolutely enormous thing.
She looks like a walking mushroom.
But this record-setting afro, which is more than 9 inches tall and 10 inches wide.
That must be measuring from the ear to the exterior perimeter.
It's big!
She says it requires frequent trims and a styling regimen.
She also says she gets a wide array of reactions from the public whenever she lets her Afro loose in public.
So she's letting her black pride flag fly.
Isn't that heartwarming?
And she is in the Book of World Records.
I wonder if she's ever taken a picture in front of the Afro pic that is in New Orleans.
That would be an appropriate place.
That should totally be the picture that's in the Guinness Book of World Records, because they can even claim that the Afro pick was placed to commemorate such a wonderful achievement.
The biggest Afro pick and the biggest Afro, side by side, never again to be seen.
Yes, yes, that is a great African achievement, the Afro and the Afro pick.
Under the baboo tree.
A baobab.
Baobab.
I'm sorry.
The baobab.
Baobab.
Yes.
Beneath the baobab tree.
I loved you and you loved me.
Let's see, I believe you have a story about a fellow whose name I never quite know how to pronounce.
Buttigieg?
Buttigieg.
Yeah, I guess I just don't listen to watch enough TV.
Buttigieg.
Doesn't seem he's on much though.
Do people ever talk about this guy anymore?
Oh gosh, people talk about him a lot because of all the supply chain problems and all these weird accidents are happening and You know, Southwest just had to ground all the flights again.
So again, it's the transportation secretary going to take some lumps.
Of course, you know, he is, I believe the you know, he is a homosexual.
So I believe he's the highest, highest homosexual within the Biden administration.
And he on a morning show the other day, he was talking with Al Sharpton, MSNBC.
This is a story out of Town Hall.
It's roads are designed to kill minorities, says Transportation Secretary.
I think that's a little harsh for the headline, but we'll see.
We'll see if that's justified.
While ignoring a cornucopia of crises in his two year plus years as Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg has found a supposed crisis that he will address.
And it sounds a lot like his previously trotted out theory that bridges are a tool of racism.
As stated, he was talking to Al Sharpton on MSNBC, Buttigieg declared, quote, we've got a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities in America, end quote, before making his usual pivot to frame the problem as one of race, quote, we lose about 40,000 people every year, a level that's comparable to gun violence, he said, for emphasis, quote, and we see a lot of racial disparities, Buttigieg continued, specifically according to The Transportation Secretary, quote, black and brown Americans, tribal citizens and rural residents are much more likely to lose their lives, whether it's in a car or a pedestrian being hit by a car, end quote.
He would go to argue that the racial disparity is related to discrimination.
And even the way roads are designed and built such that minorities don't have access to a safe street design that's got crosswalks and good lighting.
Again, I don't know where he's getting this information.
But obviously, you know, I guess all those magic bullets you say that strangely follow black people around wherever they are.
They have a tendency to maybe take out streetlights.
I don't know.
That might be one of the reasons why they don't have good lighting.
Quote, we've got to act, Buttigieg said.
We've got to act, Buttigieg said, despite not having the urgency to address the broken supply chain, formula shortage, or toxic train derailments.
What was that?
That was in Ohio, I guess, about a month ago.
Palestine, of all places.
That's right.
Quote, what's more, Buttigieg, I'm sorry.
Buttigieg should have thought about where his arguments would lead before making his proclamation about racist roads.
This is what Town Hall says.
Again, conservative arguments.
Buttigieg claim roads were designed to be more deadly for minorities, who is to blame
for building those roads?
Again, conservative arguments, so stupid.
This whole thing is such a dumb argument, as if black people have no agency when they're
And if individual choices that black and brown people make probably lead to higher rates of fatalities, as Steve Saylor has shown with his incredible data of deaths of exuberance post George Floyd.
Well, anybody who has taken the time to look into the data knows That black people are considerably less likely to wear seatbelts.
They are considerably more likely to speed.
And I don't know if you're dead or go into Hispanics, but Hispanics love to drive drunk.
That seems to be one of their favorite after-hours activities.
Furthermore, when it comes to pedestrian fatalities, a real problem is for these new immigrants from places like Guatemala or El Salvador.
They're just not used to highways where cars are roaring along at 60, 70 miles an hour.
They'll cross multi-lane freeways, get themselves hit.
It's a real problem.
It's a real problem.
But no, the idea that somehow it's the fault of the roads.
What are they going to start saying?
That automobiles are designed specifically so that when black people drive them, they're more likely to get into an accident.
That's going to be maybe the new frontier.
And if they're driving a white car, it's even more likely there'll be an accident.
Maybe so.
Anyway, yes, it's just incredible.
Now, another little element to this that is really quite fascinating, of course, is that a guy like Al Sharpton is hosting a cabinet secretary of the United States government on a major television program.
That fraud, that utter fraudulent white baiting swine, it's gosh.
It's the world we live in.
It's the country that our ancestors would be proud of.
It's constantly a befuddling scenario.
Yes, I am constantly.
You're right.
I am befuddled.
Our listener was correct.
I am in a steady state of befuddlement.
But, you know, you were talking about law enforcement breakdown.
This has got some great, great quotes.
This is an article about Law enforcement agencies sounding the alarm on the consequences of a dramatic increase in police resignations and retirement since 2020.
2020 really was a watershed year, leaving America's streets less protected as crime rockets.
We can't get new people to this profession because law enforcement has been lied about, says Sergeant Betsy Smith.
We've been vilified, so we're heading, we're in a crisis.
And according to a report from the Police Executive Research Forum, police resignations are up 18%, retirements are up 45% from last year.
And last year was, and the year before, were really banner years for resignations and retirements.
And this is really great stuff.
LAPD Detective Jamie McBride, he says, fewer officers means a decreased ability to serve the community.
It's not safe here, McBride warned.
I've been telling people for over a year, do not come to Los Angeles.
We cannot keep you safe.
Every day is living in a movie set.
It's either the movie Purge, with all the violence, crimes, and murders, or it's The Walking Dead, because you get all these people there on drugs in homeless tents.
Wow.
Isn't that great?
It's a combination of Purge and Walking Dead.
Stay away from L.A.
Former Chicago police officer Anthony Napolitano says it makes cops throw up their hands and say, I'm not doing this job anymore.
They probably express themselves a little bit more vigorously than that.
But LAPD, you know, it just reminds me of what happened in Bakersfield.
There was that celebration at a major intersection These hundreds of folks out there watching cars, doing donuts.
The police can't even maintain control of a major intersection.
What if you lived there?
What if you had to go through there to get home and get to work?
And apparently, residents say that this place turns into a drag strip two or three times a week.
Two or three times a week.
And then just last weekend, they celebrated by busting into an ARCO filling station, and they completely looted and ransacked the convenience store there.
The cashier had to lock himself in the bathroom for fear of his life.
But yeah, it ate, and the police didn't bother to send anybody.
They had a call, and they said, we'll be outnumbered.
No point in sending anybody.
That would just escalate things.
So there you go.
It's a real descent into complete savagery.
So this LAPD guy is right.
It's not safe.
Don't come here.
I mean, this is the type of anarcho-tyranny that, unfortunately, Sam Francis, who died at the age of 57 back in 2005, he would be commenting on so feverishly.
And just watching it all unfold.
I mean, it's...
It would mean one thing if we were looking at some foreign country in which we had no state, but this is the land of your ancestors and mine, Mr. Kersey.
But I've kind of developed a sort of... I'm almost inured to it.
I almost feel as though I'm looking at a foreign country collapse.
And here, here's another foreign country.
And that's a difficult thing to say, by the way.
What you just said is a very difficult thing to say.
Because I believe next month is going to be the anniversary of the signing of the Nationalization Act of 1790, a date that you and I back in 2019 said should be the date that we celebrate, more so than Independence Day, because it is what our forefathers quite succinctly stated should qualify one for citizenship.
It's one of those horrible dichotomies that, yes, it was racial at the beginning, but it wasn't codified in either the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights.
Well, the Constitution is where it ought to have been.
Bill of Rights, yes, to live in a white country.
In any case, here's another.
Here's another dispatch from what should be a country on a different continent.
Phil Stavius Dowell.
Phil Stavius.
I believe I'm pronouncing that correctly.
I'm pronouncing it phonetically anyway.
He was an honor student on his way to becoming to a promising college football career, and Kike, that's spelled K-E-K-E, Nicole Smith, an 18-year-old volleyball player, had been named by their families as among the victims of a mass shooting that erupted at a Sweet 16 birthday party in Dadeville, Alabama.
It left four people dead and 28 injured.
That is a lot of shooting.
Of the wounded, 15 are understood to be teenagers.
Boy, it was not a sweet 16 birthday party.
Boy, it was a bloody 16.
The violence erupted, as these things just always do.
All of a sudden, bullets were sprayed at the birthday celebration for Phil Stavius's younger sister.
At the Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio.
The violence just erupted, Mr. Kersey, like an earthquake or tsunami or an act of nature.
But, I mean, again, we get hardened to this kind of thing.
A birthday party.
A birthday party.
Four people dead, 28 injured for a 16-year-old birthday party for a 16-year-old girl.
Wow.
But, and I'd like to point out that the legacy of George Floyd lives on.
At least the gravy train continues to rattle on.
The city of Memphis agreed on Thursday to pay nearly $9 million to settle lawsuits filed by two people who said former police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into their necks years before he used the same move to kill George Floyd.
John Pope, he will walk off with $7.5 million.
Zoya Code, a lady, will get only $1.375 million.
Too bad for her.
Both lawsuits stem from arrests in 2017.
Other officers failed to intervene or report on Chauvin.
Well, as you know, Mr. Kersey, and as many of our listeners know, that was a perfectly accepted and legal technique for restraining somebody who was resisting arrest.
And as we've said over and over, and probably will continue to say over and over, None of this happens if you just say, yes, sir, officer, and you do what you're told.
But no, you've got to fight the police.
And unfortunate things are likely to happen.
Of course, Pope and Code are both black.
And the suit claims the city knew that Chauvin had a record of misconduct, but didn't stop him.
Criminal charges were dropped, of course.
And just as a reminder, Floyd's family had a payday of $27 million.
So, there is big money involved here.
Now, Mr. Kersey?
If I could, there's one little fun little addendum.
It's not fun, but just put an asterisk by that story.
You are aware that in this just religious zealotry that we live in under Black Lives Matter, that Derek Chauvin's police badge is going to be destroyed, and his badge number 10-8-7 will never be assigned to another Minneapolis police officer.
That's right.
Not only is his number retired, they're going to vaporize his badge.
This is like an exorcism.
You turn in your badge, and they don't just take it in a drawer.
They don't give it to you as a souvenir.
No.
They're going to melt it down.
Who knows?
They're probably going to turn it into a small BLM statue.
Yeah, Jacob Frey, the mayor who issued the order to abandon precinct number three there in Minneapolis, he called the act a symbolic but important attempt to purge the city of Chauvin's legacy.
I mean, again, I think the fact that the city is being purged of white residents who are fleeing and they're about to start having to call to act The Muslim call to prayer every day because of the Somali colonization that's happened to St.
Paul and Minneapolis.
I mean, again, this is such, this is befuddling.
Let me just read this statement from Chief Brian O'Hara.
He said this, the Minneapolis police has a tradition to recycle the badge numbers that are no longer assigned to a current officer.
This badge, betrayed and so egregiously dishonored, will be destroyed and the badge number permanently removed from our roster so that no future Minneapolis police officer should have to wear it.
end quote. You know, in an America that is, if America is restored to sanity, I can tell
you that one of the first acts of symbolism that would be done is Derek Chauvin's badge
would be unretired and the number would be issued to an officer again because he did
nothing wrong.
I think the first thing we do is take down the statues to George Floyd.
Well, there are many things.
We could have a discussion as to what are the first steps we would take if sanity returned to America.
That would be a fun conversation.
In the meantime, boy, you're going to have to talk fast.
Can you talk fast?
We have about six minutes left, Mr. Cruz.
Can you talk about Thomas Fallon, Robert Morris, or maybe just one or the other?
I'll tell you what.
I'm going to talk about one.
We can save the other one for next week.
This one is also befuddling as the word of the day.
Cruz began to remove controversial statue in San Jose.
Okay, wonder what this means.
San Jose, California.
After more than three decades of controversy, the Thomas Fallon statue in San Jose is coming down.
City Council voted unanimously in 2021 to remove the statue and on Tuesday, April 18th, Cruz with jackhammer started that process.
The 1200-pound bronze sculpture depicts Captain Thomas Fallon raising the U.S.
flag in San Jose on what was then Mexican land.
Ever since the statue of one of San Jose's first mayors went up at Julian and St.
James streets, it has been controversial, with some saying it represents racism and oppression.
Yes, you know, expanding American territory Is racist and oppressive, obviously.
Yeah, it's gotta go, right?
Cruz began the process of removing the statue from his pedestal, something James Dominguez and his tribe fought for for years to see happen.
Quote, it's like a statue of a tyrant in the middle of San Jose.
We're trying to move forward from this, not move back, said the member of the Muwinkama Ulaan tribe in San Francisco Bay Area.
Gregory White works near the statue and is glad to see it will soon ride off into the sunset.
It represents racism.
It represents genocide.
It represents parts in history that, of course, they need to be remembered but not celebrated.
Others fought to keep the statue to remember a significant moment in history when San Jose formally joined the U.S.
The city says the cost of taking down the statue, including traffic control and heavy machinery, is $450,000 and it should be gone by May 4th.
Once the statue is removed, it will be placed in storage.
Again, there are so many statues that need to be reclaimed and put in a place of honor.
I can't think of any better ones than, of course, Monument Avenue and the statue of A.P.
Hill, I believe.
Is that statue going to go up at his resting place?
I think they are still working on trying to salvage it.
Apparently, it will not go to the cemetery if they're successful, but it will go to the battlefield where he died.
I have forgotten now exactly what battlefield that was, but that seems more likely.
You know, they're going to have a hard time reclaiming that whole area because, after all, San Francisco has all of its downtown streets are named for people like Joseph Fallon or Fremont or Kearney, Kearney Street.
All of those streets are named after white people who helped get California into the Union.
And, of course, they are now wicked people, so anything that memorializes them is a memorial to racism.
Well, actually, if you are finished with Fallon, we do have three minutes, sir.
So, why don't you tell us about Gouverneur Morris?
Oh, goodness gracious.
Yeah, another crazy story.
This time we're, let's see here, Conservationists are having a hard time removing new graffiti on Robert Morris' statue that alludes to slavery ties.
He's often called the financer of the American Revolution, but you know what?
He sold slaves in North Carolina and held auctions before owning a failed plantation.
A statue of founding father Robert Morris in Independence National Historic Park will now bear the words, human trafficker.
As conservationists struggle to remove the graffiti, the misspelled annotation is written on the base of the statue in what appears to be permanent marker, according to an Instagram slideshow posted by Independence National Historical Park.
The statue was behind the Second Bank of the United States and the use of the indelible ink Plus the statue's base of marble, a porous material, makes the graffiti difficult to remove, the NPS said.
Conservationists tried to delete the markings with non-abrasive chemicals, which only lightened it, the park service said.
Then they moved on to laser treatment from the Independence National Historical Park, as used previously, which had some effect.
Vandalizing, destroying, or injuring National Park property is a federal crime, punishable up to six months in prison, a $500 fine, but of course we know what happened in May To now, of 2020 to now, you know, it doesn't matter if, you know, we'll just go back to the chaos that you and I witnessed on Monument Avenue for all those, you know, gorgeous, gorgeous monuments that were defaced so violently.
Well, the obvious solution, if they can't get that stuff off, make a nice big marble, I'm sorry, a nice big brass plaque, put it right over it and says, human trafficker.
Yeah.
If you can't beat him, join him.
Or just take the guy down.
Take the guy down.
So like I said, he was often called the financer of the American Revolution.
He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, who amassed at least a portion of his wealth through the slave trade.
Alongside his business partner, Thomas Willing, he sold about 170 slaves from Ghana, In Wilmington, North Carolina, and he briefly owned a 3000 acre Baton Rouge plantation called Orange Grove, where they oversaw 40 enslaved Africans before the property was expropriated by the Spanish.
Well, that's right.
Now, this is Robert Morris.
Gouverneur Morris was, I believe, his cousin.
That's correct.
I made an error on that count, which I apologize.
And so, we must bring this podcast to an end, unfortunately, at a moment when I have to apologize for an error.
But again, we love hearing from our listeners, and we do hope that you communicate with us one way or another.
