‘If Once You Have Paid Him the Dane-geld’

Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey note that back in 1911 Rudyard Kipling foresaw the demand for “reparations.” They also discuss the latest Sharpton shriek, good news from Florida, Adjoa Andoh, and your chances of getting away with murder.

	Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time for your well-deserved weekly dose of Radio Renaissance.
	I'm Jared Tabor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey.
	How are you today, Mr. Kersey?
	I gotta say, I love that introduction.
	That was fantastic, beautifully improvised, and I concur with you.
	Let's give a hearty dose.
	Two servings and the sugar will help it all go down.
	A double dose.
	Well, there's not much sugar, I'm afraid.
	A lot of bile and wormwood, as Shakespeare might say.
	But let us begin with a, well, I forgot to mention the date.
	That's one of our usual openers.
	It is May 10th, Anno Domini 2023.
	Anno Domini, 2023.
	And let's begin with listener comments.
	One writes in to say, last podcast, you could not remember the name of the main white prison
	That's true.
	I was mentally groping and I groped in vain.
	It is the Aryan Brotherhood, of course.
	And our listener goes on to say, you are right.
	They operate almost exclusively within prisons, although some smaller local white gangs do do their bidding on the outside.
	That's an important difference between prison gangs that are white and prison gangs that are other races.
	In prisons, they are just the prison version of the gang on the outside.
	But the only real reason that they have white prison gangs is to defend themselves against black prison gangs.
	And once they're back out, they really don't have much to do with the Aryan Brotherhood.
	Just one of those little racial differences that you won't ever read about in the New York Times.
	Here is another listener comment on the subject of reparations for slavery.
	He writes, Rudyard Kipling saw it coming.
	He wrote a poem called Deingeld, which was first published in 1911.
	Deingeld, the whole idea of it, is based on British history and goes back quite a ways.
	In the year 978, Æthelred the Unready was crowned king of England.
	Well, in 980, just two years later, bands of Danes came carrying out coastline raids on England, and they kept at it until 991, until Aethelred paid the Danes silver to persuade them to stop raiding and go away.
	Well, the Danes, they knew a good thing when they saw it, and they returned year after year and demanded more.
	The payments were called Danegel.
	And in Kipling's words, if once you have paid him the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.
	And this has application, of course, to those who are seeking reparations.
	And let's go to the last two stanzas of Rudyard Kipling's poem, Danegeld.
	It is wrong to put temptation in the path of a nation, for fear they should succumb and go astray.
	So when you are requested to pay up or be molested, you will find it better policy to say, we never pay anyone Danegeld, no matter how trifling the cost.
	For the end of that game is oppression and shame, and the nation that plays it is lost.
	Well, our listener, of course, was pointing out that we have paid trillions of dollars to blacks, and they want more, and anything we give them will not be enough.
	It will be Dane Geld.
	And as Kipling says, if once you've paid in the Dane Geld, if once you've paid in the Dane Geld, you'd never get rid of the Dane.
	But the reparations machine continues to wheeze and clank along right down the tracks.
	And just last Saturday, there was the last official public hearing of the California Reparations Task Force.
	This was created by state legislation signed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom back in 2020, at the height of the BLM madness.
	Now, the committee was hearing comments from the public as it considers final recommendations to submit to the California legislature, which will then decide how much to pay, if any.
	An activist identified as Reverend Tony Price said this, you know that the numbers should be equivocal to what an acre was back then.
	We were given 40, okay?
	We were given 40 acres.
	So the equivocal number from the 1860s for 40 acres to today is $200 million for each and every Afro-American.
	Boy, not a modest request.
	200 million apiece.
	Pierce, Reverend Pierce, who shouted most of his remarks, then directed his ire to the task force itself.
	Yes.
	Because it was not pushing an ambitious enough reparations plan.
	Come on, 200 million, boys.
	You're not supposed to be afraid, he said.
	You're just supposed to tell the truth.
	You're not supposed to be the gatekeepers.
	You're supposed to say what the people want and hear from the people.
	Tell Governor Newsom we're coming.
	Sounds like a threat to me.
	What do you think?
	It's a very big threat, I do.
	Yeah.
	200 million or bust.
	Well, earlier this week, the task force published its latest proposals.
	And these estimates include, for example, $2,352 per person per year of California residents for the over-policing of black communities.
	I don't know how they got to $2,352 per black person per year of living in California for the fact that they were over-policed.
	Pretty tricky calculations, if you ask me.
	Then there is, for every year, a black person lived in California.
	I suppose no matter what age, I guess you can be over-policed from year zero.
	You're always being over-policed if you're black.
	Well, once you're conceived, right?
	That's right, that's right.
	Yeah, I wonder if they count the nine months in the womb, too.
	That's being over-policed, too.
	But $3,366 per person per year residence for discriminatory lending and zoning.
	Another remarkably precise calculation.
	$3,366.
	And then, now this is really great, for every year's worth of injustices and discrimination in health.
	This seems to be quite the big budget.
	$13,619 a year.
	$14,619 a year.
	Wow.
	And again, the mind boggles.
	I probably should read their 500 page report or 300 page report or whatever it is.
	Yeah, they came up with $13,619 per person per year for the injustices and discrimination in health.
	In any case, if you add up all of these discriminations, And especially if you had a black-owned business, then you're supposed to get a lump sum of $77,000, apparently, because that's just what you'd lost if you started a business and you were black and you deserve that.
	So if a person lived in California all his life until age 71, according to one calculation, he could end up with $1.2 million.
	So that is now the figure that is being bandied about.
	And this is the recommendation that the task force has formally made to the state.
	It also wants a formal written apology.
	Now, the task force also urges that eligible black Californians receive down payments as soon as possible while waiting for the full amount to be calculated.
	Apparently, they didn't specify the down payment.
	Well, as the task force discovered, Activists are furious.
	One woman says, 1.2 million is nowhere near enough.
	It should be starting at at least 5 million, like San Francisco.
	This seems to be the totemic figure, Mr. Kersey.
	They've heard this number 5 million and that just seems to be that's the starting point.
	Anything less than that is an insult.
	Another one at the meeting said, This million dollars we're hearing on the news, it's inadequate and a further injustice if that's what this task force is going to recommend for 400 plus years of slavery and injustice.
	And this is another lady.
	I guess she's suffered for every one of those 400 years.
	She's a long lived lady.
	She says to even throw a million dollars at us is an injustice.
	Let's hand it to him.
	Don't throw it!
	You're right, you're right.
	Yes, on a silver platter.
	You know, people don't seem to realize just the incredible anticipation people are building up over this thing.
	As I've said many times, we have millions of people staggering around this country saying that they really are literally owed $5 million for being black, just for being black.
	And what kind of mentality is that going to mean that they're going to bring to every interaction with a white person, every interaction in society?
	But this is my favorite part, Mr. Kersey.
	According to one news report, most people who spoke at Saturday's meeting were in favor of reparations.
	I wonder if there was a single one who said no way.
	Despite such agreement, however, sparks through throughout the chaotic, emotionally charged gathering as arguments broke out.
	Many attendees spoke out of turn and interrupted each other, leading Camilla Moore, the task force chair, to call for security to remove people multiple times.
	What in heaven's name is this?
	In several instances, activists in the room got into shouting matches, forcing the meeting to be put on pause to settle the room and expel people who were causing disturbances.
	I mean, this is incredible.
	I suppose I suppose we should be grateful that there were no shootings, you know, not a single gunshot wound.
	You get enough black people in one room, you know, and that's what you generally expect.
	But here we have the public is there to tell this task force how much they want.
	And I guess they are so upset because they're only getting a million dollars, whereas they want five million or 200 million, according to Reverend Price, that they get into shouting matches and get so bullshit they've got to be kicked out.
	Boy, this says something about black people, and I don't dare say what.
	I think it says what Scott Adams clearly elucidated in a beautiful tweet.
	He said, when reparations are calculated, the correct comparison is to the descendants of the control group that stayed in Africa.
	In Congo, for example, the median income is about 500 per person per year.
	So what these people should have been told is, OK, fair enough.
	You've been left to your druthers and not been sold by your tribal people, by your brethren, Well, it's just astonishing to me that nobody's making that point.
	There was a fellow named Keith Richburg.
	He was a correspondent for either the Washington Post or the New York Times.
	how they're doing in the Congo or in these various nations.
	So here you go, here's, go ahead.
	Well, it's just astonishing to me that nobody's making that point.
	There was a fellow named Keith Richburg.
	He was a correspondent for either the Washington Post and New York Times, I think it was the Times,
	in Africa for many years.
	And after having covered the continent, he came back and wrote a book about it.
	And somebody asked him, aren't you furious that black people were enslaved and taken to America and made to work on the cotton fields for nothing at all?
	He turned to him and said, I am deeply grateful that that happened.
	And, you know, there's that black—oh gosh, now her name is slipping my mind, gosh—a black writer, a lady in the 1930s.
	Some reader will tell us, some listener will tell us, I'm sure, if I don't come up with it myself.
	But she said, slavery is the price my people paid for civilization.
	There used to be a time when black people understood that, but nowadays it's just, oh, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
	But Scott Adams tweeted that recently?
	Yesterday.
	I assume you're not back on Twitter yet, so you would have seen it.
	This is one of the big discussions right now.
	Twitter has, of course, morphed into this fantastic platform.
	you know, basically AR light type platform when it comes to race statistics with even Elon Musk
	tweeting this stuff out and being somewhat incredulous when he sees it. So that's right.
	Yeah.
	Well, no, it's really big news when the richest man in the world tweets about the huge disproportion of black-on-white violent crime as opposed to white-on-black, and wonders why the media concentrate on these rare and unusual cases of white-on-black.
	He says, why such a disproportion?
	Why, indeed, Mr. Musk.
	Inquiring minds want to know, and I'm glad he's doing some of the inquiring.
	We are going to talk about it, Link, but I do have a quick question for you.
	What were your thoughts on Tucker moving his show to Twitter, just on the whole platform?
	Well, I hope it works.
	I hope it works.
	I don't know.
	I can't be part of his audience, as you know.
	But we'll see how that happens.
	I mean, I haven't thought that much about it.
	If that will give him the kind... I mean, apparently this little video that he put out has had millions of views.
	Was it 86 million, as I understand it?
	And that's certainly more than the people who watch this program.
	But where's the money going to come from?
	We'll have to see.
	We'll have to see what comes up.
	But if Twitter really does become the all-purpose platform that Elon Musk was talking in terms of, and American Renaissance or I Get Back On, that could be a huge open door to walk through.
	But let's get back to the monetary aspects of this California plan.
	Of course, to reward black people for being black, as if we'd never done that before.
	Economists predicted in a preliminary estimate that California's reparations plan could cost the state more than $800 billion.
	Of course, the total annual state budget is $300 billion.
	So it's more than twice the annual state budget, and this is not even counting the $5 million per African that San Francisco is supposed to splash out.
	And Newsom announced not only that it's more than the budget, but in January he said the state this year projects a budget deficit of $22.5 billion.
	Now, the California Legislative Analyst's Office, which does some of the bookkeeping on this stuff, says that his estimate is $7 billion short.
	So the deficit really would be more like $30 billion.
	$30 billion deficit.
	And they want $800 billion in handouts.
	Now, of course, the law creating the task force, which was idiotic to begin with, why did California do such a foolish thing?
	It did not tell the committee to identify sources of funding.
	They said, just send us a bill, and we'll worry about paying later.
	And, of course, Newsom, the Democrat, signed the bill and he appointed most of the panel's nine members.
	Eight of them are black.
	One is a Japanese who was very active in getting handouts for Japanese in connection with the relocation camps.
	So every one of them from the get-go was going to be a gimme, gimme, gimme type of operator.
	Now, in the midst of all of this, a member of the reparations task force is dismissing the dollar amount as, quote, The least important piece of the proposal.
	We want to make sure that this is presented in a way that does not reinforce the preoccupation with the dollar figure, which is the least important piece, says Cheryl Grylls.
	She's a clinical psychologist.
	She chided the media for covering the reparations proposal and focusing on the dollar amount.
	Well, boy, is she out of touch with black people.
	She must not have been there at that meeting.
	Apparently, that's all they're screaming about.
	All they're talking about is money.
	And somehow, she's saying, no, no, no, that's the least important part.
	Wait a minute, baby.
	Obviously, the people who think they're going to get a check think that's the most important part.
	But beyond that, as it may, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a different kinds of reparation proposal to talk about.
	I do, I do.
	This is one that's been, we've sat on it for a few weeks, but I think it's really funny.
	It's Senate candidate Bernie Marino.
	Uh, floats reparations for white descendants of Northern Civil War soldiers.
	He's a Republican looking to challenge U.S.
	Senator Sherrod Brown.
	Suggested that white descendants of Northern Civil War soldiers should be eligible for some form of compensation.
	Quote, we stand at the shoulders of giants, don't we?
	We stand on the shoulders of people like John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and this group of people took on the largest empire in history.
	They said, no, we will not stand for this and won.
	Moreno told supporters at a campaign event in the Buckeye State a few weeks ago, quote, that same group of people later, white people, died to free black people.
	Never happened in human history before, but it happened here in America.
	That's not taught in schools a lot, much, is it?
	He added, quote, they make it sound like America is a racist, broken country.
	You name a country that did that, that freed slaves, died to do that.
	You know, they talk about reparations.
	Where are the reparations for the people in the North who died to save the lives of black people?
	Now, he's a business owner.
	He's the second GOP candidate to jump into the race and faces a primary from Ohio State Senator Matt Dolan.
	The 2024 Senate race is a top target for Republicans looking to reclaim the upper chamber.
	Though Ohio has a long history of being a battleground state, it trended red in the recent years.
	Incumbent Brown is the last major elected statewide Democrat.
	So, Ohio strongly backed former President Trump in 2016 and 2020 and sent his preferred candidate.
	J.D.
	Vance to the Senate last year.
	In a statement to the Post, Merino campaign spokesman Connor McGinnis said his candidate was actually making a point about political correctness.
	Quote, Bernie was right when he said political correctness is killing our country and the crocodile tears from the left exposed the Democrat hypocrisy he was referring to in this clip.
	However, it's unsurprising that the media missed this point since they've been complicit with identity politics charade for years.
	Well, I wonder how the media missed his point.
	The media took him seriously, I suppose.
	The media have, of course, no sense of humor.
	You know, I hate to puncture his balloon, but those white people who died, they really weren't fighting to free the slaves.
	That's a kind of retrospective reconstitution of their motives.
	They were fighting to save the Union.
	And that was very much Lincoln's idea, too.
	He said, I think it was his first inaugural address, wasn't it?
	I would free all the slaves, none of the slaves, or just some of the slaves, if that's what I thought it would take to save the Union.
	That's what he cared about.
	He didn't really care very much about slaves.
	And the people who were fighting, that's the last thing they were concerned about.
	But that's yet another one of these strange myths that gets built up because people can't think straight when it comes to the past and race relations.
	But speaking about interesting ideas—and this is not a fantasy, and this is actually going to be signed into law—Florida leads the way in a particular respect.
	Republicans on Wednesday approved bills to ban diversity programs in colleges and prevent students and teachers from being required to use pronouns that don't correspond to someone's sex.
	Apparently, if they want to use a different pronoun, they can, but they're under no obligation The two proposals were given final passage by the Republican majorities in the House and Senate.
	Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to sign the bills into law.
	One measure also bans classroom instruction on sexual identity and sexual orientation up to the eighth grade.
	I think that's entirely appropriate.
	I mean, I'm not really sure why that you have to learn about sexual orientation, sexual identity in school anyway.
	I'd ban it through K-12.
	Yes, sex education is about human reproduction, the birds and the bees, contraception, that sort of thing.
	But why do you want to talk about sexual identity, sexual orientation?
	I don't know.
	In any case, Republicans in the House also gave final passage to a DeSantis priority bill that bans colleges from using state or federal funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
	I wish they would ban private funding.
	There might be some of that, but at least state and federal funding is not to be used for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
	Now that's going to be a very tough thing to enforce, because you can imagine all the fanatics all over campuses in the state of Florida saying, oh my gosh, we're going to have to do it on the cheap.
	We're going to have to do it quietly.
	They will be pushing all sorts of craziness.
	They just won't be as open about it.
	But Republican lawmakers in at least a dozen states have proposed more than 30 bills this year targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in higher education.
	I wasn't aware that it was that active.
	I'm glad to see that.
	But apparently, Florida is leading the way in finally getting one of these things on the desk of a governor.
	Representative Randy Fine, a Florida Republican, says They, meaning Campus Libs, want rote belief in the same thing.
	They say they want inclusion, but they don't, unless you believe what they believe.
	These programs are being used all over the country.
	Imagine how great our universities will be when we are the only ones who are not pushing those programs.
	Well, I hope Florida will not be the only state, but that's a great way to look at it.
	Imagine a university system that doesn't give a hoot about all this DEI stuff, saves all that money, doesn't propagandize people.
	It really would attract students from around the country, I would hope.
	Now, what is the Democrat response?
	Senator Jason Pizzo.
	He's a state senator.
	He says, The message that resonates from this chamber over the last few years is one of hate.
	Well, attaboy, Senator Pizzo.
	Keep calling anyone you disagree with a hater.
	I think it's just great when anyone who says, no, we don't want our kindergartners being taught about transsexuals and sexual orientation or our first graders or our second graders.
	Call them haters.
	I love it.
	You know, the more ordinary people get called haters, the better.
	I've been called a hater for a long time, and I'm perfectly happy to share the wealth.
	Aren't you, Mr. Kersey?
	It should be redistributed.
	Yes, yes.
	We believe in socialism.
	You know, we've accumulated all this hate all these years.
	You know, we want to spread it around.
	Haters of the world unite.
	No, look, it's really simple.
	Florida's doing a great job.
	It's one of those states that you sit there, you sit back and you say, you know what?
	Uh, that might not be a bad place to move to as the country continues to really, uh, really not, I don't want to say break apart, but ideologically you're looking at places that are just uninhabitable right now.
	I think we won't talk about it.
	We'll talk about next week, but there's actually a long time.
	Um, Employee of the city of Chicago, I believe they work in the DA's office, who's just said, I can't be here anymore.
	I have the means to leave my kids.
	My son's not safe here.
	We're leaving.
	We're leaving the state of Illinois.
	And I think, unfortunately, go ahead.
	No, no, no, no.
	Continue.
	I will add.
	I think what I'll do next week is I'm going to look to see that U-Haul thing where people are leaving from states and not returning their U-Haul, because I think it's so important to find out where Uh, intermigration is actually happening in the country.
	And I think from a, you know, from a philosophical ideological level, it is vital that if you were living in a blue state, if you're living in Maryland right now, listening to this podcast, get out, leave that state.
	There's nothing for you there.
	If you're in, if you're in, you know, any of these heavily blue states, go to a red state.
	Why not?
	Well, do you remember we quoted a retired detective from the LAPD?
	And he tells the press, don't come to Los Angeles.
	We can't keep you safe.
	That's pretty doggone blunt.
	Don't come.
	It's dangerous.
	And this is one of the supposed to be one of the major world class cities.
	And don't come because it's dangerous.
	What a country.
	And this is... I don't think that's a word to describe the United States.
	Country doesn't doesn't fit anymore, does it?
	I don't know what fits.
	Mishmash.
	But this is all part of it.
	This is another news item that's really quite remarkable about the murder clearance rate in the US.
	The FBI in 2020 reported 21,570 homicides.
	Now, 54% went unsolved.
	Now, 54% went unsolved.
	That's a clemency rate of 46%.
	You had a better than 50-50 chance of getting away with murder if you killed somebody in
	Now, 2020 is the last year that they recorded these unsolved homicide cases, and the clearance rate has been steadily declining since the 1960s when, believe it or not, more than 90% of homicides were solved.
	Crime did not tend to pay.
	Was there a correlation between the actual break of the United States population to that?
	Wasn't the United States roughly 89 to 90 percent white in the 1960s?
	That is correct.
	That is correct.
	Just curious.
	Just curious.
	That is correct.
	But of course, there's no connection.
	Come on, give me a break.
	How could there be a connection?
	The clearance rate in 2010 was still well into the majority, figures 66 percent.
	And by 2019, nine years later, it had dropped to 61%.
	But 2021, U.S.
	homicide rate reached a nearly 25-year high.
	There were 6.9 murders per 100,000 people, and that is just one half a murder shy of the 1996 record murder rate of 7.4.
	a nearly—the homicide rate reached a nearly 25-year high.
	There were 6.9 murders per 100,000 people, and that is just one half a murder shy of the 1996
	record murder rate of 7.4.
	We are really nipping at the heels of the records here. And of course, because we are
	a larger country, more people here—not that I think that's a good idea, but there are
	more people here—shooting each other and stabbing each other and beating each other
	to death with their fists and feet.
	The number of murders is higher than ever.
	Last year, interestingly enough, blacks, particularly those in urban areas, accounted for 100% of the drastic decrease in U.S.
	homicide clearance rates.
	Clearance rates for whites, Asians, and even American Indians remained steady or improved.
	It was blacks where it all went downhill.
	If you don't mind me asking, for our audience, what article are you reading from?
	What source is this article from?
	You know, I did not record the source.
	I beg your pardon, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen.
	But, uh, I think if, uh, if you just look up, uh, murder clearance rates, you will get to the bottom of this.
	These things are not secret.
	I found it right here.
	It's, uh, if you look online, ladies and gentlemen, go to your Google machine and type in more than half of American murders go unsolved FBI data.
	This is from Fox six now out of Milwaukee.
	And yes, you hit your control F.
	Putting the word black, and you basically see that, as Mr. Taylor said, it's 100%.
	It's, yeah, the urban areas.
	But this is the astonishing figure.
	In Chicago, fewer than 22% of the 800 murders in predominantly black neighborhoods were cleared by a prosecution in 2021.
	That means you had a better than three quarters chance of shooting a black person, killing a black person,
	and getting away with it.
	Probably it helps to be black.
	If you're a white person and did it, you'd probably be in trouble.
	You'd be a better stand out there, even in these eras of masking.
	But the increase, of course, in stranger to stranger homicide
	has made murder cases more difficult to solve because there's no apparent connection.
	There's no motive.
	Yes.
	White people don't usually kill just for these utterly spurious, spur-of-the-moment reasons.
	They kill somebody because of some sort of relationship, and they decided that this other person had to go.
	But there's so much just spontaneous, almost ridiculous.
	He stepped on my shoe kind of shooting among blacks.
	It's very difficult.
	At the same time, of course, blacks don't cooperate.
	Yes, I have a police acquaintance.
	He says he doesn't know how many times he has walked up to a black guy who's just been shot.
	And he wants to know who did it.
	And in his dying breath, these black guys lying on the sidewalk.
	Expiring refused to say no snitching, even if they're about to die.
	They hate the police so much.
	And I believe that in their case, they figure their homies are going to get the guy anyway.
	And that's going to be much better than trying to turn him over the police.
	Also, as it turns out, for whatever reasons, Gunshot murder is harder to solve than other kinds of murders.
	Gunshot murder is more frequent, but that is harder to do, and blacks really seem to have a real specialization in shooting each other.
	So there are all sorts of reasons for the clearance rate to be lower for blacks.
	But this is, and one expert says this about the Chicago Police Department's chief of detectives.
	He says, you're the chief of detectives in Murder City.
	And you don't have enough of anything.
	You don't have enough trained detectives, forensic technicians, laboratory capacity, and Philadelphia has got the same problem.
	However, this same expert says NYPD reported a 79% clearance rate in the fourth quarter of 2022.
	So apparently it is possible, even with a large black population, to get to the bottom of some of these murders.
	This expert says NYPD has the resources.
	It's still the largest department in the country, and homicide is still a very sought-after role in the detective bureau.
	He notes that a case with three or four detectives on it is much more likely to have a positive resolution than a case with just one detective.
	So apparently it has as much to do with the defund the police stuff and the impossibility of getting competent people to sign up as police officers as it does with anything else.
	A very interesting contrast between Chicago and New York.
	It would be probably very informative to look at different jurisdictions and see what the differences in murder clearance rates are.
	Other clearance rates too.
	Well, I've read that Detroit is roughly about 20%, so you've got a 1 in 5 chance of getting away with murder there.
	Flint, Michigan.
	Well, no, a 4 in 5 chance of getting away.
	I'm sorry, a 4 in 5 chance.
	Yeah.
	So I'm reading a tweet right here from at FisherKing64, one of the better people on Twitter.
	He said this.
	Murder clearance rate in Japan is 95%.
	In Germany, it's above 90%.
	In Detroit and Newark, it's about 31%.
	In Flint, Michigan, it's about 18%.
	You've got an excellent chance of getting away with murder in certain parts of the United States of America.
	Yeah, don't kill anybody in Japan.
	I stand corrected.
	Detroit has actually an 11% better chance.
	It's not 20, it's 31%.
	So there you go.
	69% of people get away with murder there.
	Yeah, those Detroit police officers are working harder than you think.
	On the other hand, I think that is an excellent opportunity to talk about a story that I was going to save for later, but Did you realize that two women who are charged in a home invasion were active duty Detroit police officers?
	I did not know this!
	Yes, there were three women involved, and they broke into yet another police officer's home, completely wrecked the joint, stole all sorts of things, and then buggered off.
	And they now have discovered that two of the break and enter and destroy and bugger-offs were Officer Biana Cabano, age 29, and Officer Dana Sears, age 21.
	Now, I don't know how you get to be a police officer age 21 unless you just leap right into the force as quickly as you possibly can, but they had another person, another woman, was an accomplice, not a police officer, These are African-Americans.
	All three women got out on a $5,000 personal bond.
	They have been, Cabano and Sears, the police officers, have been suspended by the Detroit Police Department with pay.
	Now, there were photos of these two young ladies smilingly holding citations from the police department.
	And that's all I can find out about this.
	That's all I know.
	That's all anybody seems to be wanting to say about this.
	And this story is at least six or seven days old.
	It seems to me this is an intriguing case.
	Two active duty police officers break into another police officer's home, wreck the joint, and steal things.
	What's going on here?
	Well, I asked one of my police contacts about this.
	And he said he would bet any amount of money That the officer whose home was broken into was a male officer who had had some kind of hookup deal going on with one of these lady officers.
	And the lady officer is furious.
	Her girlfriends are furious.
	And this is some kind of revenge.
	He says he's seen cases in which one of the things they will do, he's seen this many times, and one of the main reasons why lady police officers get fired is because of lover's triangles like this.
	So, that is the learned speculation from a man with many years experience in policing.
	But again, this sounds like a fascinating story to me, but the world has no interest, no doubt, because it's probably an all-black cast.
	Can you imagine?
	Two white lady police officers doing something like that?
	I think there would be a considerable amount of National Enquirer-type interest in that sort of thing.
	This is why, this is why Detroit is Detroit.
	This is why the Paris of the West is no longer the Paris of the West.
	So there you go.
	It's an exciting place.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story that was held over from last week about how a BLM activist ruined a white girl's life.
	And I'll be counting on you to explain this to me because I read the story and it was a little bit confusing.
	So do tell what happened.
	This is from Reason Magazine, and it got a lot of traction about two and a half weeks ago.
	It's Black Lives Matter activists ruined a white University of Virginia rep's student's reputation over a misheard remark.
	Now, this is the UVA student Zionna Bryant.
	She was then 19.
	She was already a high-profile activist when she encountered fellow student Morgan Bettinger at the July 2020 protests during that summer of George Floyd.
	Now, she accused her of referring to George Floyd protesters as speed bumps and threatening to run them over, only to later admit she may have misheard the offending comments, according to reports.
	So, you have to remember what life was like back in July of 2020.
	Anything that was said that was negative toward BLM went viral, especially if a white person did it and it was captured on film.
	People would be able to use their Twitter social media accounts to proliferate said statement.
	To denigrate and destroy a white individual's character.
	I mean, gosh, to the point where I can't remember his name, but the white guy who defended his bar, and he was exonerated at first, only to then have charges brought up against him, he committed suicide.
	Right.
	Well, but so, in other words, this black activist is accusing a white girl of having said that the BLM demonstrators would make good speed bumps.
	Because they were blocking the road.
	And then what happened, this sparked a social media hate campaign in which Bettinger, and she's a very beautiful, beautiful white co-ed, was denounced as a Nazi.
	School investigations and a bid by Bryant to have Bettinger expelled then unfolded.
	She's the daughter of a police officer.
	She pulled up near a local George Floyd demonstration and found the street blocked by protesters as hundreds of thousands probably of streets were during that time period.
	A truck driver had parked his vehicle to protect the demonstrators, prompting Bedinger at one point to tell him, it's a good thing you are here because otherwise these people would have been speed bumps.
	Bedinger said she meant no harm in the comment.
	Quote, I had no interest in walking over to him to speak to him, but out of being polite when he spoke to me, I answered.
	The speed bumps remark was setting gratitude, Bedinger noted, to thank the driver for guarding the demonstrators who had taken over a busy street.
	The driver later corroborated Bedinger's remarks to local cops.
	Quote, not once did anything for the past or of even the rally, Unite the Right rally, crossed my mind.
	It was simply a comment made to a Dump truck driver who was sitting and blocking the road and just saying like, hey, it's good you're here.
	Right, right.
	Because, in other words, great to have blocked the road because all of these demonstrators might have been hit if the road had been open.
	That's all she's saying, right?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Or, you know, who knows what they might do to confront people.
	If they're blocking, you can't go that way where there is, you know, hey, there's this horde of zombies over here.
	Stay away from them.
	If you go near them, they're going to attack your car.
	Same thing with BLM protesters.
	Bryant, according to the outlet, took quite differently.
	She claimed was threatening demonstrators and got in her car.
	Benninger, she claimed, was threatening demonstrators and got in her car and cried after she was confronted.
	The incident drew attention after Bryant, a student social justice activist, took to Twitter.
	Her version of what happened was we treated more than 1,000 times.
	Quote, the woman in this truck approached protesters in Charlottesville and told us that we would make good speed bumps.
	She then called the police and started crying, saying we were attacking her.
	Bryant also posted videos, not of the alleged speed bump comment itself, but of its aftermath.
	In the footage, Bettinger backs down the street in her car while Bryant and several other protesters follow.
	It's a Karen!
	It's a Karen!
	Bryant taunted, according to Reason.
	The story was picked up by local media and spread like wildfire.
	She was identified.
	She was doxed online the next morning and was barraged with insults and accusations from UVA students.
	One student tweeted that Bettinger was a effing Nazi.
	The next day, Bryant began demanding the school administrators expel Benninger.
	Email these UVA teens now to demand that Morgan face consequences for her action and that UVA stop graduating racists.
	Bryant filed a complaint with the University Judiciary Committee, a student-run disciplinary system, alleging Benninger had threatened students' health and safety.
	She was the subject of multiple investigations in the months that followed.
	I was completely consumed.
	My phone did not stop blowing up, Bettinger told the magazine.
	I didn't sleep for nights.
	A student disciplinary hearing concluded that Bettinger was guilty of making a legal threat
	against protesters, but a second probe found Bryant probably didn't even hear firsthand
	what Bettinger uttered and considered her evidence shaky.
	Now she graduated.
	Bettinger, the white girl, the white female, did graduate from UVA, but with a permanent
	mark on her record.
	No witnesses ever corroborated Bryant's claim that Bedinger derided protesters as good effing speed bumps, even though it happened in front of more than 30 people.
	She was, you know, Bryant was before this was a celebrated activist.
	She was the one who got national attention after writing a 2016 petition demanding that Charlottesville take down its statue of Robert E. Lee.
	By the summer of 2021, she was on Teen Vogue's 21 Under 20 list, had spoken alongside Bernie Sanders, and had been profiled in such outlets as The New Yorker and The New York Times.
	Since the UVA incident, her profile has only grown, Mr. Taylor.
	And, dear listener, she was the subject of a positive WAPO profile in 2021 and was named to Ebony Magazine's Power 100 list.
	I'm sad to say, Jared, that you're, Mr. Taylor, I don't think you're ever going to be on that Power 100 list for Ebony Magazine.
	Well, I'm out of practice in blackface.
	All right, Algeria.
	But anyways, the point is this story, you know, she's planning a lawsuit against the school.
	This whole situation has had a huge impact on our life.
	I think this is just a microcosm of what individual Americans went through during this summer of madness.
	It keeps happening.
	It keeps happening.
	And the media, as usual, immediately accept the word of somebody who's accusing a white person of racism.
	But more and more people are waking up.
	More and more are.
	Yeah, Bedinger.
	I wonder what her views on race relations are these days.
	I wonder if she has somehow distanced herself from the prevailing craziness of the University of Virginia.
	Not necessarily.
	And that's the amazing thing.
	White people can go through some kind of absolutely horrific experience of this kind, and still their attitude is, oh, we have to protect black lives, and white people are so awful.
	It takes an awful lot for many white people to learn.
	But many are learning.
	Well, hopefully they're looking at what's going on in the border right now, Mr. Taylor, and seeing what the federal government has in store for every community in the country, making every city a border community.
	That's right.
	Well, spread the wealth.
	No, we are socialists, after all.
	Well, let's hop the pond to Great Britain.
	I don't know how much attention you or our listeners have paid to the coronation, but a woman by the name of Adjoa Ando Who is an actress in the Netflix series Bridgerton, was doing live commentary for the BBC for the coronation.
	That's a rather prestigious place to be.
	And at the end of the coronation, the royal family got up on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
	And when they were out there waving to the patriotic throne, Adjoa Andoh said, The scene looked so terribly white.
	Terribly white.
	She says, we have gone from the rich diversity of the Abbey, that's Westminster Abbey, where the coronation took place, to a terribly white balcony.
	Well, those of you who saw the coronation, I skipped through a few highlights, there was a certain amount of Black entertainment, and she liked that.
	There were black people marching around with some of the holy objects of the coronation.
	There were black singers.
	There were Muslims.
	There were Jews.
	There were Hindus.
	So that was the rich diversity that Adjoa Andoh was celebrating, and then went to this terribly white balcony.
	Well, let's think a little bit more about Ms.
	Andoh.
	She is quite dark-skinned.
	Her father is from Ghana, if I'm not mistaken.
	And she plays, as I say, in this Netflix show, Bridgerton, which is a period piece, and she plays Lady Danbury.
	Lady Danbury.
	And in 2019, she co-directed and played Richard II in Shakespeare's play at the Globe Theatre in Drumroll, please.
	The UK's first all-women-of-color production.
	Had you ever heard of such a thing?
	In the Globe Theatre.
	I proudly own a DVD copy of that amazing presentation.
	I bet you don't.
	I'd love to have a copy.
	All-women-of-color production of Richard II, and she plays the title role.
	Well, I'm sure she thinks all of this is perfectly natural and normal.
	If she can be Lady Danbury, if Lady Danbury can be black, why can't the entire royal family be black?
	I tell you, the extraordinary nerve of these people.
	They come to a white country and they get roles in, obviously, all white, what should
	be all white productions.
	They think this is entirely their due, to the point where this lady thinks it's an outrage
	that the entire royal family be white.
	Of course.
	Who do you have to blame for this?
	I mean, you can't blame her.
	She's making a nice living, a regular actress in a nice series, a BBC commentator.
	It's white people.
	White people are such fools to permit this.
	The BBC, of course, may tut-tut about this.
	She's not going to be fired.
	But I just love it.
	This African comes to live in Great Britain and complains the royal family is white.
	Well, what are they going to complain about next?
	You just never know, do you?
	Of course, they're getting their pointers, probably from the United States.
	As you know, Mr. Kersey, Fort Hood is no more.
	That was one of the military installations.
	It got its name back in the 1920s, I believe, when they were really trying to celebrate reconciliation of North and South and recognize Southerners who had been brave, dedicated soldiers during the war between the states.
	It's now officially been renamed Fort Cavazos.
	There was an official ceremony for this.
	The new name is to honor Texas-born Korean War and Vietnam War veteran General Richard Edward Cavazos.
	Well, he became the first Hispanic to reach the rank of Brigadier General, and that took place in 1976.
	In attendance at the ceremony was General Cavazos' family.
	And they also helped unveil the sign at the podium that was set up at the ceremony with the brand new name.
	Now, I looked into Mr. Cabazos.
	It's all very well that he was a four-star general.
	We're all for that.
	But do you know how many four-star generals there have been in the history of the U.S.
	Army?
	There have been no fewer than 250.
	He was also heralded for winning the Distinguished Service Cross.
	Do you know how many people have won the Distinguished Service Corals?
	I would imagine it's probably, I was going to guess over 10,000 actually.
	Yes.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	Good for you.
	Good for you.
	Now, maybe there's some other reason Fort Hood's being renamed after him, but you know, we wouldn't dare speculate, but now it's going to be called Fort Cavazos.
	Now, my question is, they had his family there.
	I'm sure they're just proud as punch, tickled pink, and as the Brits would say, cock-a-hoop about this.
	I wonder if there were any descendants of General John Bell Hood there to be kicked in the teeth ceremoniously as the name changed.
	I mean, surely they should have somebody they can trample on while they're celebrating this Hispanic.
	But that's the way the cookie crumbles.
	Let's see.
	Oh, you know, you have a story.
	We should have a new category.
	Maybe a whole new story category called Sharpton Shrieks.
	It's funny.
	He shrieked.
	He shrieked a couple of times the past two weeks.
	You know, he had a lot to say about the Marine who coincidentally was actually the Marine who subdued the Michael Jackson impersonator.
	Did you know that the Marines actually doxed him?
	The Marines did?
	No, the Marines did.
	Yes, I'll send you the story.
	I was going to talk about that, but but actually, they actually released his identity and confirmed it.
	And it's just it's just astonishing to think, you know, to think that that story is still there.
	It's still percolating.
	But, you know, he said that this guy has to be prosecuted or else vigilantism is going to be good.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	Yes.
	Well, share this latest of this latest Sharpton shriek.
	Yes, this Sharpton shriek is he's accused McDonald's of racism against blacks.
	Now, of course, McDonald's famously back in 2011 went 365 black and promoting their their overly fat food to the black community.
	Civil rights leader Sharpton has accused fast food giant of practicing racial discrimination By refusing to advertise in black media and forcing black franchise owners to operate in poor, high-crime neighborhoods.
	Forced them to.
	Forced them to.
	Put a gun to their heads.
	Yes.
	At gunpoint, exactly.
	The Reverend aired his grievances in a letter he sent Thursday to McDonald's CEO Chris Kempzinski and shared with the media.
	Sharpton pledges to mobilize his National Action Network to boycott the
	hamburger chain if it does not respond to multiple allegations. We unequivocally
	demand they immediately acknowledge and address these issues or we will begin a
	national campaign against McDonald's, wrote Mr. Sharpton.
	You cannot sell black folks Big Macs and give us little justice. Sounds like a
	great line from a novel.
	The letter referenced lawsuits brought by black franchises as well as a suit brought by a black former executive over racial discrimination from the highest levels.
	You know, it's funny, Ray Kroc in his book Golden Arches, I've read that a couple times.
	It's a fantastic book about business.
	And he talked about how he's made more black millionaires at the time in the 70s and 80s.
	By letting them buy into franchises and, you know, whatever.
	Anyways, sounds like sounds like Dane Gild to me, Mr. Curzon.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	In fact, I think I think I think black franchise franchise owners have their own organization that advocates for for them separately from other franchise owners.
	But anyways, several black owners of McDonald's franchises sued the corporation in 2020, claiming executives set them up to fail by placing them in high crime neighborhoods.
	Another lawsuit from the company's former head of security alleges that black executive experience
	multiple incidents of racist and hostile treatment.
	Let's not forget the $10 billion lawsuit brought by Byron Allen.
	Yep, 10 billion over the fact that black owned media did not get its fair share of McDonald's
	supersize advertising budgets, said Mr. Shorten.
	What is this?
	I mean, who on earth?
	I mean, what law do you violate if, in somebody's view, you don't give enough advertising dollars to black-owned media?
	Not enough dangled.
	Not enough dangled.
	I guess not.
	Dangling that dangled.
	It's your tribute to, you know, to a people who conquered you.
	You have to pay it every year.
	Again, this is a pending lawsuit.
	Mr. Allen is a black entertainment media mogul, and so I guess he wants, you know, 13% of all McDonald's advertising to go to, to go to the black media.
	I don't know, but I just think it's funny that, you know, these McDonald's are operating in high crime neighborhoods.
	It's funny.
	And, and, you know, and the city where I live, uh, McDonald's are, are, are beautiful.
	They're fantastic.
	They're actually worthy of going in because they're so clean, but then you go just a little ways into the major, the major city.
	And it is fascinating.
	The McDonald's, uh, operates exclusively behind.
	Bulletproof glass and a little Lazy Susan where the food is given to you.
	And you're only, you're only 25 miles away from these two separate locations.
	You know, I'm sure McDonald's has bent over backwards to the point of spinal injury to make things easy and profitable for these people.
	Almost paralysis, Mr. Taylor.
	Yes, yes.
	And now, of course, it's never, ever, ever enough.
	I mean, when are people going to learn?
	As I say, once you pay the Dane, the Dane will never go away.
	What was that line?
	I better remember that.
	It's such a good line.
	Anyway.
	Well, let's see.
	You know, speaking of black people, some are waking up.
	Black citizens in Chicago are angrily protesting President Joe Biden's flood of foreign migrants into their neighborhoods.
	Can you believe it?
	Says one black Chicago resident.
	It's a slap in the face that we as citizens of the United States of America do not have the resources and support, but you're going to bring people who are not citizens here in our community, in our buildings that we pay taxes for, that you took away from us.
	That was Chicago resident Natasha John.
	Done.
	Speaking to TV.
	There you go, Natasha, you nativist.
	Yes.
	This is completely unacceptable, she says.
	The black people in Chicago are bleeding on the streets.
	And one protester at a raucous meeting carried a sign saying, build the wall.
	Boy, what if we got a Trump voter here?
	And a top black Democratic city leader named Michelle Harris said, if Chicago can't take care of its own, Why should it take care of others?
	If the resources are given to others, why can't the resources be given to us?
	We shouldn't have to fight with people who don't live here over resources that we're not getting.
	Fancy that?
	Of course, the next mayor of Chicago, Democrat Brandon Johnson, is not going to be popular in those circles.
	He prefers illegal immigrants over Americans.
	He says, we have the responsibility to make sure that families who are seeking love and support here in the city of Chicago and throughout the state of Illinois, that they are not just welcomed, but they are serviced with government aid.
	They're seeking love.
	He says, I want to make sure that black families who've been left out and that the brown families who want in are not seen in a divided space.
	Well, sorry, that's the way people are going to see it.
	That's the way these black people see it.
	And as it happens, the new arrivals tend to look down on blacks, and I wouldn't imagine why.
	But that's a problem, too.
	This is going to end so well, Mr. Taylor.
	This great experiment is just going to end just with everyone passing around McDonald's, right?
	But they're seeking love.
	These families are seeking love here in Chicago.
	I'm sure that's what they come for.
	They're seeking love.
	Alejandro Mayorkas recently announced That he would let this new batch of migrants from Central America bring in 100,000 family members to come to U.S.
	cities.
	Now, believe it or not... Was it 100,000 or 10,000?
	100,000!
	My gosh!
	Think big, boy!
	Yes, 100,000.
	Now, National Public Radio, apparently they actually released data that must have shocked them.
	But a 54% majority of Americans say Joseph Biden, president of the USA, is allowing what they called a southern border invasion.
	Not just a border crisis, but an invasion.
	54 percent.
	54%.
	That includes 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of Independents, and even 40 percent
	of Democrats recognize that this is an invasion.
	I'm very surprised NPR didn't just quietly deep-six these results.
	And 43% of blacks call it an invasion.
	More and more of them are waking up.
	You know, I have never ever understood, except for the most cynical reasons, why black so-called leaders are all in favor of all of this illegal non-white, non-black immigration.
	You know, back in the 1986 amnesty, the one under Ron Gregan, the one we think was this great champion of a conservative America.
	The entire black congressional caucus was absolutely opposed to it.
	They shrieked about it.
	And this time, this was useful and legitimate shrieking.
	They say, it's going to hurt our people.
	Now blacks are all for it.
	I think it's because they're so deep in the Democrat camp.
	They realize that in order to get all the support and money and adulation, they've got to toe the line on non-white immigration, transsexuals, homosexual marriage, all the stuff that ordinary black people absolutely hate.
	I think it's pure cynicism on their part.
	But, oh my gosh, Mr. Kersey, Our hour is almost up.
	So I think this time we should tell our listeners how to get in touch with us.
	We'd love to hear from you, and we'd love to hear your ideas about stories we should cover, any way we get wrong, what we did right, and what we shouldn't do.
	Please get in touch with us by either sending a message to amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, click on the Contact Us tab, and your comments will come to me, or It's really simple, ladies and gentlemen.
	You send an email to BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
	Once again, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
	Mr. Taylor, we didn't get a chance to talk about what's happened to the border today, but something tells me with what Texas has just done by putting up razor wire and actually repelling the illegal invaders.
	This is happening as we're doing this podcast.
	I believe we could be talking about some very Exciting things in next week's podcast.
	Very good.
