Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is co-host extraordinaire Paul Kersey.
And today is a beautiful day.
June 1st, Anno Domini 2023.
And how are you today, Mr. Kersey?
I hope the weather, wherever you are, is as good as it is here in Oakton, Virginia.
Oh, I too am enjoying the beautiful start to June.
And I hope all of our listeners around the world are also experiencing the same type of weather that you and myself have been enjoying thus far this year.
And yeah, we're excited to be here once again.
Well, let us start with comments.
We have quite a few this time around.
The first is something of a chastisement.
Our listener writes in to say, I was a bit disappointed during last week's podcast.
You uncritically recounted the 2021 so-called Central Park Karen story.
You mentioned the story and moved on, creating the impression that Amy Cooper, the Central Park Karen, was actually in the wrong.
Sorry, but right from the start, that story was up there with that bastion of credibility, Jussie Smollett, and his moronic tale.
You two are supposed to be reliably the ones who remind us what the real bottom line is on most of these shamelessly misrepresented hoaxes.
In case you missed it, the late-to-the-game epiphany writer Barry Weiss Did the most influential takedown of that Central Park story, and much more has come out since.
And apparently it is on something called the THFP, the fp.com, the real story of the Central Park Karen.
Well, I don't believe we intended to give a mistaken impression, Mr. Kersey.
I think you just mentioned it in passing as the kind of thing that happens when young white women, sometimes old white women, have a legitimate fear for themselves and make a bit of a fuss.
But in any case, that's quite, our listener is quite correct.
This was one of these things that was held up as an act of vicious hatred by a white woman, and she was entirely in the right.
Our listener concludes, Amy Cooper and her dog were clearly being threatened.
Now, if I could real quick, I don't even remember the context of why we brought that up, except perhaps it was I think I mentioned, Mr. Taylor, that that was one of the first moments in 2020 where that became like this international story, and that kind of led up to the events of George Floyd.
Well, the term Carolyn, I think, came up in one way or another, but I'm not sure either.
But our listeners are sharp-eared and with retentive minds, and we are always pleased to be set back on track, even if we only appear to jump the tracks.
Now, here's a comment.
I like this one.
I have a prediction that you should keep an eye out for.
I predict the blacks in Chicago are going to start violently attacking the migrants being dumped there.
Rioting and looting are imminent.
It's true that they are getting pretty upset about all of these people who are swarming across the border, get bused to Chicago or wherever else it is, and they live in free housing, they get medical care, they get food.
And our listener goes on to say, the media will be in a conundrum as two of their pet groups are about to be at each other's throats.
Well, I think that's very interesting.
It's true that, especially in Chicago, blacks have been pretty annoyed at what they think is they're getting the short end of the stick, while these illegals are pampered and conned.
So, a good observation.
We'll see what happens.
Yet another comment.
You'd posted an article on your website, Ameren.com, about Sweden as Europe's gun-murder capital.
Well, just check out Interpol's Most Wanted in Sweden.
Of the 17 on the list, only two have Swedish names.
The overwhelming majority have distinctly Muslim names.
Only three of the 17 even vaguely resemble what we would consider looking Swedish.
Tell your listeners to Google Interpol Most Wanted and look around at who's wanted in various countries.
See if they can find a pattern.
I bet they can.
In the U.S., of course, the FBI's most wanted list has only one non-Hispanic white.
He's a fellow named Donald Fields.
He looks primitive enough to be the missing link.
I wonder how he got there.
I would point out just the original article about this, about Sweden becoming the gunrunner capital of Europe, was from the Wall Street Journal.
And because we had not mentioned that on the air, I thought I'd just read a few passages from it.
It's really, really quite interesting.
It says, turf wars for control of the drug trade driven by an influx of guns, personal vendettas, and a pool of available youth.
Many from marginalized migrant communities have resulted in a gun homicide rate two and a half times the European average.
Marginalized migrant communities.
That explains it.
They're marginalized.
That's why they got to go shoot them up.
Stockholm's gun murder rate was roughly 30 times higher per capita than London's.
Wow.
I wonder what the knife murder rate, how they stack up.
In London, because there's pretty good gun control, they really go in for knives.
And that, too, is dominated by visible minorities, as the British like to call them.
And continuing with the Washington Journal, perpetrators are becoming younger and resorting to increasingly violent tactics such as throwing hand grenades and placing bombs.
When's the last time you heard somebody throwing a hand grenade in the U.S.?
That's pretty exciting stuff.
Molotov cocktails, yes, but hand grenades?
Yeah, the Molotov cocktail, I'll give you an example.
It was those two lawyers in New York City during the George Floyd riots.
But as I say, we have Molotov cocktails all the time.
I mean, what if they pitched a sure enough military-grade hand grenade into that car?
Gosh, they'd probably get some sort of diversity medal.
But Washington goes on to say, the wife of one gang member was shot dead in the street holding her newborn child because most shootings take place among individuals from migrant backgrounds.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
They have fueled a surge of right-wing populism.
Oh, what could be worse than that?
In the 2022 election just last year, the Sweden Democrats, a party that has roots in Nazism, roots in Nazism, blames Sweden's liberal migration policies for the violence.
How dare they do that?
It got more than 20 percent of the vote, became the country's second largest.
Now, some guy named Nikoy Djane, a former gang member, I don't think his roots are in Swedish Nazism somehow.
I think his roots in Sweden are non-existent.
Former gang member Turn Criminologist said authorities have failed to help refugees integrate.
Their perpetrators have responsibility, but they are also victims.
Najani said, well, And now this was a figure that shocked me.
This sounds like Baltimore.
An estimated 75% to 80% of the deadly shootings remain unsolved.
Wow.
And the low risk of getting caught has prompted a growing number of youths to kill for bounties issued by gang leaders.
I somehow don't think that's much of a Swedish specialty either.
But there you go.
So, I'm very glad that this has been called to our attention.
These things need to be talked about with greater candor than the Wall Street Journal seems to be capable of applying.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you received a comment that was directed really more to me, but let's hear it.
Yeah, give me one second to pull it up here so we can talk about it.
Basically, I got an email where somebody asked the question.
About movies that you watch.
And give me one second while I...
Hold this up because I don't see it here.
My apologies as we're doing this.
It, um, basically the question was what type of films do you watch?
Uh, I know it says Uncle Jared is very averse to profanity and everyone respects him for it, but there are, but are there any forms of shock jock content he indulges in such as, uh, uh, the right stuff?
Uh, if he's not into any edgy content in our spheres, R-rated movies?
And are there any rated R movies he is partial to?
The reader, I'm sorry, the listener says, I personally liked Wolf of Wall Street,
but hated Scorsese's The Departed.
It was over the top with cruelty.
Curious to know his answer.
R rated movies.
Well, it's not as though I carefully scrutinize all the ratings of movies I watch,
but my wife and I are trying to learn the language of the new master race.
So we watch Spanish-language movies.
And we have been watching Spanish-language movies from Mexico.
And what we do, because our Spanish isn't really good enough just to listen to the soundtrack in Spanish, we have the subtitles in Spanish, too.
So sometimes you have to stop and puzzle out what's in the subtitles.
But we're getting better.
I have really been struck by a fellow named Luis Estrada, E-S-T-R-A-D-A, Luis Estrada.
He is a Mexican director.
He has the most cynical view of Mexican society.
It's really quite startling.
When I first started seeing his movies, I was surprised to think that Mexico permits this kind of absolutely vicious satire and takedown of the government, their own society, mentions political parties by name, has images of the president sometimes in the background.
It's really quite remarkable.
But Luis Estrada, I would say, there's one called The Perfect Dictatorship.
That's really quite good, and I suspect it's R-rated.
Boy, the language is sure R-rated.
We have to look up all of these crazy Mexican swear words, and I was really amused.
Couldn't find them in Google Translate.
And interestingly enough, ChatGPT knows just about every bit of profanity going.
But my wife looked up one in particular, and ChatGPT said, this is so awful, I just don't even want to tell you what it means.
So, that's the kind of language that these Mexicans use in Luis Estrada's movies.
But the perfect dictatorship, and then a recent one called Que Viva Mexico, and then one called Herod's Law.
Cynical, cynical, cynical, but that's how we're boning up on our Mexican obscenities and profanities.
If that's an adequate answer to our listener's question.
Well, now let's start with Memorial Day in Chicago.
Chicago saw a violent start to the summer this year from Friday to Monday.
As many as nine people were killed and at least 50 others, including a two-year-old, two two-year-olds, were wounded.
That's a total of 60 who stopped bullets just in one long weekend.
And you know, they got off, they got off with, they got off to start without hesitation.
The first fatal shooting of the weekend occurred just 1 a.m.
Saturday.
Boy, one hour, one hour into the long weekend, kabam!
And ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, the Illinois Department of Human Services and Governor J.B.
Pritzker, so there's a state, it had a whole campaign to send a citywide crisis prevention and response unit to Chicago for the weekend to try to keep residents from shooting each other.
Besides that, neighbor Mayor Brandon Johnson And Interim Chicago Police Superintendent Fred Waller—I guess he's interim, I haven't looked into this, but interim, that sounds like he's white, anyway—and other city officials on Thursday unveiled a safety plan that included increased police presence, bag checks at beaches—that's a popular place, I guess, for people to be knifing and shooting each other—and they canceled days off for officers and more.
Now, another source said, yes, 50 shot, 10 fatalities.
That doesn't add up to quite the same number, but I guess you lose count when the bullets are flying that quickly.
And shooting victims range from age two, there were two two-year-olds, and up to 77.
And this said the shooting victims represented every part of the city.
Now, my question for you, Mr. Kersey, do they represent every demographic in the city?
We know the answer to this.
I think we do.
I think we do.
The violence occurred despite a collaborative public safety effort that the new mayor hopes to implement all summer.
He spent the weekend going from one neighborhood gathering to another, trying to keep streets safe.
Now I don't know what he is, his presence, how his presence is supposed to keep them safe.
Last week, He touted a holistic approach to public safety that's going to go on all summer with new funding to support community groups.
But he said we have a lot of work to do.
Holistic.
Holistic.
That'll be it.
I think maybe ballistic is what he has in mind.
A ballistic vest for every single Southside resident.
Now, this was his great quop.
This is a great comment about all the gunplay over the weekend.
Poverty didn't go away.
Over the weekend.
Like, we understand that when communities have been disinvested in and traumatized, that you are seeing the manifestation of that trauma.
Poverty didn't go away over the weekend.
I guess poverty is especially acute on summer weekends and when people have a holiday.
Well, I guess they have a holiday, they didn't get that paycheck, intense poverty ensues, and boy, gotta shoot someone.
It seems to me that the Chicago team is hoping to advance the Juneteenth All-Star Shootout.
I think it's to be held maybe in Baltimore, Philadelphia.
We'll see.
But they're really working hard on it.
Yep.
Nine killed and 50 others wounded.
Wow.
Now, Mr. Kersey, unless you have a comment on that.
I have one quick comment.
Yeah, I still think that there's gonna have to be a, you know, if Vegas won't do it, you know, maybe one of these online gambling sites. They've got to bring up the odds on the
weekends for cities like Baltimore and I don't know what other cities have that many shootings. I
guess you'd say, I'm sorry, Chicago, maybe Baltimore, New York, but there should be
betting odds, DC, on the number of non-fatal shootings, fatal shootings over a weekend,
especially as you mentioned, Juneteenth.
That's a great day. And then also, I think there also needs to be body armor as part of the
reparation program.
I think that would make sense.
That's well, how about how about gun accuracy training?
You know, all of these, all of these spent cartridges and no nobody hit.
This is all very strange.
But let's see, I guess.
Well, maybe in before I asked you to tell me about Donald Trump's promise.
This sounds like a good time to talk about Somali culture night.
This was supposed to be a gala affair at a Minneapolis high school.
However, mayhem erupted during the cultural event, and the performances had to be called off.
And instead, there were performances of a different kind—fights, a stabbing, and shots fired.
This is Somali culture night in a high school, mind you.
Police heard shots being fired as they responded.
I mean, that will quicken your pulse, I should think.
You're coming into a high school, sirens blaring, and you can hear the guns going off.
Two suspects were taken into custody and a gun with a 50-round drum magazine was recovered.
Boy, they want high firepower.
Now, I saw the video.
This is quite dramatic.
Everybody's fighting everybody else.
And as I've mentioned my perplexity in these matters on this podcast before, I don't understand who knows whom to attack.
I mean, it seems like everybody's brawling.
It's as if there were two teams.
But it seems like—I'm guessing that once somebody starts fighting, everybody says, wow, that looks like fun, and they just jump in, because they can't have all that many grudges.
I just don't get it.
But it's one of these little mass brawls, everybody pounding each other.
This is a place called Washburn High School.
Now, I noted that the school's senior party It's scheduled for overnight Friday, June 2nd.
That is tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, from 10 p.m.
to 4 a.m.
I bet that's going to be a very lively time, judging from what the Somali culture was like.
That was only 6 to 8 p.m.
What will they get up to, Mr. Kersey, from 10 p.m.
to 4 a.m.? ?
Inquiring minds want to know, but I guess all we need to do is look at the papers.
But let's see.
Yes, Donald Trump has made an interesting campaign promise.
Should he be elected?
He has.
I just want to go back and put a bow on the conversation about what you said about firearms training.
I think the whole reparation campaign should be 40 acres and a Glock.
So they can protect their property from marauding Klansmen.
Yes, exactly.
No, anyways, this was on Breitbart.
Donald Trump is not doing himself any favors by not being on Twitter.
Elon Musk, of course, welcomed him back.
I guess he has some sort of exclusive deal with Truth Social, which is, again, it's kind of barren.
I don't know if you've ever even gone on there.
It's not much happening on there.
He put out this announcement that hasn't gotten a lot of publicity yet, Mr. Taylor, and I think it's fantastic, although I wish he would have done it in his first term.
Trump promises to abolish birthright citizenship.
Now, he's the GOP frontrunner for POTUS in 2024.
He rolled on a new policy pledge on Tuesday, May 30th, in which he promised if elected he would sign an executive order on day one of his second term Effectively ending birthright citizenship for illegal aliens and so-called birth tourism.
The proposal policy contained in one of his Agenda 47 videos, his campaign released, it was exclusively obtained by Breitbart News ahead of its public release.
Quote, as part of my plan to secure the border on day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law going forward, The future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S.
citizenship, end quote, Trump said.
Well, Mr. Kersey, you said you wish he had done that last time.
I think he absolutely did do that last time.
He made exactly the same promise.
I think he promised to do it on day one.
I believe he did, too.
But he didn't.
Well, Donald, baby, if you're elected, keep your promise.
That's all I got to say.
Moving on to graduation day at City College Law School.
You probably saw this.
This is really quite dramatic.
City College, publicly funded.
It's part of the City University.
The law school had its graduation today, and the commencement speaker was none other than one of the graduating students, a Yemeni immigrant named Fatima Musa Mohammed.
And she used her speech on May 12th to claim that American laws are white supremacy.
She blasted the NYPD and the U.S.
military as fascist.
And she called on her fellow law school peers to continue the revolution against capitalism and racism.
The future lawyer claimed that black and brown prisoners are murdered every day in U.S.
jails.
Murdered every day.
And she turned on her own university for, quote, cooperating with global violence.
Throughout her speech, she paused to allow for supportive cheers and screams of excitement from audience members, parents and fellow graduates.
Wow, what an exciting time it must have been.
I wish I'd been there.
Now, Fatima, I believe now Fatima, that was the daughter of the prophet's name, right?
Or was that his wife?
Fatima, I think, was his favorite daughter.
But in any case, if I've got that wrong, some listener will set me right.
Fatima was previously a legal intern for the National Lawyers Guild.
So this is the kind of thing they like.
This is just the kind of thing National Lawyers Guild—I can just see them sitting there in the chair beaming at how one of their charges, one of their little protégés, has really learned their lessons.
But the clip of Muhammad's speech was removed from YouTube by the law school.
Huh!
Yes, they weren't proud of it, apparently.
But there was a public outcry, so they put it back up.
Now, how did she get to be chosen to give the commencement speech?
Were her grades the best?
Apparently not.
Her fellow students chose her.
This is what the graduating class thinks that law school graduation should be all about.
Hmm, dear me.
Well, moving on from Yemen to China.
You know, we have a new ambassador from China to the United States.
And his first day on the job, he wrote letters to fellow compatriots and Chinese students in the US.
And he asked them to work with the Chinese government.
And on his, let's see, he noted that blood is thicker than water.
Now, what could that possibly mean?
Your support, involvement, and contribution would be most valuable, says Ambassador Jie Feng.
Now, I think what he has in mind—well, we can all imagine what he has in mind—and that's what he says in public in an open letter, cooperate with us.
Blood is thicker than water.
I wonder what he says behind closed doors.
In any case, his tenure begins as only 15 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of China.
I wonder how many of them are Chinese.
That's the lowest in recorded history.
So there you go.
I think he's openly basically calling for spies.
That's the way I see it.
But of course, we're not to even think in those terms.
But the Chinese, of course, realize that blood is thicker than water.
When's the last time you heard a white person say that?
Oh, uh, white blood doesn't matter to white people.
No, no, no.
They have no blood at all.
And we actually have some crazy stories that, uh, you know, from jolly old England that we're going to be talking about that I think confirm that.
Speak to me of England.
Speak to me of England.
Oh, you know, this is one of those stories that it's almost like, is this real?
Like, are we really going to have to go over the story?
I thought it was a joke at first, but, uh, applicants seeking to, this is from Sky News.
Applicants seeking to join the Royal Air Force described as, quote, useless white male pilots, end quote, in bid to hit impossible diversity targets.
Leaked emails show the pressure apparently being applied to filter out white male recruits and frash track women and ethnic minorities.
It can also be revealed 31 white men are to receive £5,000 each to compensate them for being unfairly disadvantaged by the approach.
So, Again, they were described as useless white male pilots and leaked emails.
A number of the selection boards to place new recruits on courses, a crucial part of maintaining the fighting strength of the Royal Air Force were also canceled.
They did not include women or ethnic minorities, according to the messages.
And like I said, 5,000 pounds each to 31 white men, a total of 155,000 pounds, who it found had been unfairly disadvantaged by a recruitment policy that, under the leadership of Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, the head of the Royal Air Force, sought to boost female and ethnic minority ratios in the Air Force.
And this Wigston sounds like a white man.
Oh, without a doubt.
Without a doubt.
It's not like the black guy who's in charge of the Air Force
and might be appointed the Joint, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
that we discussed last week, I believe, I forgot his name.
But basically there's a situation where the Royal Air Force confirmed
that the repeated assurances of Air Chief Marshall Wigston that well-intentioned efforts to improve diversity
did not discriminate against white men.
But of course, however, they're having to pay out 31 gentlemen.
So I think that shows that they did.
Sky News first revealed last August that Group Captain Elizabeth Nichol, I believe we talked about this at that point, then the head of the Royal Air Force recruitment, had resigned in protest at what she, according to defense sources, deemed to be an unlawful order effectively To pause the selection of white male recruits onto training courses in favor of...
You know, it's very hard to say.
women and ethnic minorities, and they call them impossible diversity targets.
So we know that, well, again, England is what what percent England is
is actually indigenous white now at this point is actually British.
You know, it's very hard to say.
They don't count people as accurately as we do.
But my understanding is that it is approaching 30, 40 percent non-white.
It's pretty awful.
We know that indigenous white British are a minority in London, that is for sure.
You have to go out into the hinterlands to find little whitopias here and there.
Yeah, London is definitely under 50% ethnic British.
One exchange on January 19, 2020 by a squadron leader and the recruitment force to a sergeant with another officer also included exposed the pressure that was apparently being applied to filter out white male recruits and fast track, as mentioned, women and ethnic minorities.
Under a subject line entitled Boarding Profile, the squadron leader wrote, quote, I would be grateful if you could provide me with a breakdown of the candidates awaiting boarding by Branch, the type of profession such as pilot, engineer, chief, and BAME.
That's the term the English have for black, Asian, and minority ethnic female.
He continued, I noted the boards have recently been predominantly white male heavy.
If we don't have enough BAM and female to board, then we need to make the decision to pause boarding and seek more BAM and female.
I guess by boarding, they mean hiring, on-boarding people.
Yeah, on-boarding, exactly.
It's not the kind of waterboarding that we think of.
No, hopefully if the English ever regain their sense of pride, there will be lots of waterboarding to people who have done this to that great nation.
Quote, I don't really need to see loads of useless white male pilots.
Let's get as focused as possible.
I am more than happy to reduce boarding if needed to have a balanced B-A-M-E, BAM, female-male board.
And again, as you mentioned, unquote, onboarding means those who are chosen, selected for pilot training.
Wow.
That means, if need be, we will cut down on employment just so that we can get the quotas right.
We may need 100 pilots, but we're going to hire only 30 if they're all useless white people who are looking for the jobs.
Yeah.
I mean, you think about all those times that England was saved back in, well, I guess the question is, is that true or not?
But you know, were, were those white male pilots useless at Dunkirk for, for the British?
Were the white male pilots useless in the battle of Britain?
It's just, it's, it's just shocking to think what the English have become, that this is now the priority for the, for that nation at a time where, you know, the sun is set on the, on the British empire and this is what you have left.
Well, they want to pull the sun down lower and quicker.
It's awful.
I agree.
It is, in fact, shocking.
Meanwhile, in Jamaica, people apparently still believe in freedom of speech.
A Jamaican business owner who leases small cottages as short-term rentals to tourists has said that she'll be blocking black Americans from renting from her.
She runs to people from all over the world at her little beachside cottages, but has had difficulty with most of her black Americans.
She categorized them as disrespectful, entitled, unappreciative, and said the reason they are is they've been spoiled and given too much, these are her words, free shit in America.
They start fights with each other late at night, And they expect the same treatment in Jamaica that they get in America.
They think they can come to Jamaica and get the same free shit here, and they are nasty about it.
I'm not risking my health and my happiness for these people.
I would rather eat salt and bananas and let goats and cows into my house than have you come in and disrespect it.
She ended her statement by saying, my place is drama free.
She responded to criticism with the same message, pointing out she does not want or need business from guests that cause her headaches, stating that the other hosts on Jamaica have experienced exactly the same thing.
She followed up with a post saying she is receiving harsh criticism, but would repeat her message 100 more times.
I'm not sorry, she says.
She says she's got the right to free speech and will not be bullied.
She says, those complaining are precisely the clientele she wants to weed out.
My piece is more important than your freaking opinion.
Well, there you go.
Well, you know, clearly, Mr. Kersey, this lady is an agent of white supremacy.
I bet she learned all her horrible prejudices about black Americans watching black, watching American movies, because, you know, all the criminals and degenerates are black, right?
But anyway, no, I think she spent a lot of time on hip hop.
Yeah, I think she learned it firsthand.
Now, here's a comment on this story from a man who lives in Jamaica.
He happens to be a white man.
He says, it's the same the neighborhood where I live.
Some of my neighbors rent their villas for income.
We are a homey, relaxed, organized community, but American blacks are a problem.
Noisy into the wee hours.
Abusive to our tame, polite security when told of noise complaints.
I'm not talking about loud laughter, but ear-splitting so-called music way past midnight.
Once in a villa we'd stayed, we learned that a family staying there with young children asked the boisterous renting African Americans next door to turn it down so their children could sleep.
The AAs, as he calls them, responded so aggressively, including threats.
Sorry, that's actually a very hilarious term.
AAs.
Yes, the AAs.
The AAs responded aggressively, so threateningly, that the family feared for their safety.
And they contacted the rental villa's owner, whom they knew, and asked that they change venues.
This listener goes on to say, the AAs are fortunate that they are seen as tourists who will be leaving, else there would be retribution.
I guess people just grin and bear it while they're there, but if they were going to be permanent, hmm, there'd be retribution.
They treat the black domestic help disrespectfully and tip poorly or not at all.
I've also heard that AAs are most likely to take towels and artifacts from the rented villa.
No one else does this.
So, there you go.
There are agents of white supremacy everywhere, even on Jamaica.
Well, yes, quite astonishing stuff.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story for us about a 14-year-old hate criminal.
Oh, we're gonna do that one.
Okay.
Yeah, that was we actually saved this one from last week.
You know, the New York Post just does some really great stuff and they're actually starting to rival the Daily Mail.
In terms of just wonderful stories that normally would have been left out of the national discussion.
And this one is a 14-year-old New York City boy.
He was arrested for kicking men in a hate crime.
Now, just think about that.
A 14-year-old boy.
He was busted about two weeks ago for kicking a man in the head during a hate-fueled attack in which his pals called the victim a cracker.
Cops said the teen, who was not identified because of his age, was arrested Tuesday and charged with hate crime assault in connection to the April 14th attack on Roosevelt Island.
The trio came up to the 35-year-old victim around 7 p.m.
in the back of an apartment complex on Main Street.
The 14-year-old suspect booted the man in the head, according to cops.
At least one of his two accomplices then snarled, quote, You're not going to catch me, Cracker, authorities said.
The crew ran into the Roosevelt Avenue F train station where they were captured on surveillance footage.
The two other suspects have not been caught by Wednesday morning.
The victims suffered some head pain, but did not need to be taken to the hospital.
Again, one of the reasons why I think the story is important.
I mean, this is this is what people have to have to deal with in a multiracial society where, you know, these people, these these teams just don't think there's going to be a punishment.
There's going to be consequences for their action.
And they grow up quickly, don't they?
14 years old and already charged with a hate crime.
Well, that's probably going to be a feather in his cap when he goes to juvenile hall.
Meanwhile, this is interesting news from across the water.
The number of Zimbabweans leaving the country to take care and support jobs in the United Kingdom
jumped 562% to more than 17,000 last year. 17,000 Zimbabweans moved to the United Kingdom last year.
Thank you.
Net migration for the whole country reached a record 606,000.
600,000 Zimbabweans clearing out.
That represents a 24% increase over the previous year.
Zimbabwe was third behind India and Nigeria in terms of the work visas granted in the health and social care sector.
That is home care, doctors, medical clinics.
And so, the 17,000 Zimbabweans left of the UK, that was up 562% from the previous year, and the departures are being blamed on unrelenting economic crisis which has lasted for two decades.
I consider that a euphemism for black rule.
The health sector is among the critical sectors worst affected with No fewer than 4,000 Zimbabwean doctors and nurses having left the country since 2001.
4,000.
Cleared out.
This, of course, makes Zimbabwe even more miserable, so even more people will want to leave.
Thousands more have now joined the doctors and nurses after the British government added care workers and home carers to its shortage occupations list for skilled workers.
The rush to leave and escape has now seen even pastors signing up for a seven-week first aid course run by the Red Cross.
Now, once you have passed your seven-week Red First Aid course, then you can claim to work as a care worker.
So, in seven weeks, you're a skilled worker, and that's what the British want.
Now, this article quotes an evangelical pastor, Kenai Tanguena.
He says, We can't dance in front of the pulpit and hide our poverty.
I don't feel bad about leaving my congregation.
Silas Gatcheni, a Baptist preacher, says, I'm not shy to quit being a pastor, immigrate, and become an elderly care worker in the UK.
I know 10 Zimbabwe pastors who have arrived here in England to become care workers just in 2022.
2022. As the Bible says, it's an exodus. He knows his Old Testament.
However, the route could narrow for Zimbabweans and other nationalities going forward as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government faces a huge backlash from its own Tory MPs and the opposition on account of the surge of people coming to live in the UK.
Well, boy, that's just what you need when you're old and helpless.
Zimbabweans at your bedside.
What a comfort that's going to be for old white people.
Zimbabweans at your bedside.
That sounds like a lovely Netflix special.
No, that could be a lullaby.
Zimbabweans at your bedside.
Well, now this is a kind of an interesting story.
The Biden administration is ladling out lots of taxpayer money through an anti-terrorism grant program.
And it goes to universities, and this program has explicitly lumped the Republican Party and Christian and conservative groups into the same category as Nazis.
The Media Research Center, this is a conservative watchdog group, got documents through FOIA requests.
This stuff was just not out in the open.
You had to go through gymnastics to get it.
This terrorism task force is engaged in an active effort to demonize and eliminate Christian, conservative, and Republican organizations using federal tax dollars, says Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center.
That center actually does some useful things.
He goes on to say, we have uncovered calls for criminal prosecution.
The American people need to know those who are abusing their positions and the federal government will be held accountable for this behavior.
Now, the DHS has something called the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program, TVTP, Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program.
I wonder if there's an untargeted violence and terrorism prevention program.
In any case, it provides funds to public, private and nonprofit institutions, universities, governments, local governments, quote, to establish or enhance capacities to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.
The Biden administration has awarded 80 grants through this TVTP totaling just under $40 million.
$40 million.
The smallest grant was for $85,000.
The highest grant was for $1.1 million.
All of these people are getting money to study targeted violence and terrorism prevention.
The median grant was $450,000.
Pretty nice.
I think you and I could do some interesting things with $450,000.
In any case, TVTP grant recipients are prevented from engaging in viewpoint discrimination.
That sounds astonishing to me.
I don't know how that could possibly be.
They are studying stuff specifically because of viewpoint discrimination.
This was started by the Obama administration under a different name, and it's been broadened by the Biden administration.
One such grant was given to the University of Dayton.
It got $352,109 to draw on the expertise of the University of Dayton faculty to fight domestic violence, extremism, hate groups.
Now, the university grant application included an interesting chart.
It was called the Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalism.
And I have seen this chart.
And once again, this is something that had to be pried out of the government's clutches by means—whoops, oh dear, come on.
No, stop, stop.
This is a website talking to me.
Okay.
I hate it when websites talk to you.
But now, down at the bottom— As long as they don't talk dirty to you.
I beg your pardon?
As long as they don't talk too dirty to you.
No, I just don't like them talking at all.
Now, this is called, this is called, as I said before, it is the pyramid of far-right radicalization.
And on the bottom, it's got the Republican Party.
It's got the National Rifle Association.
It's got Fox News.
And then next step up, I mean, this is the entry drug.
This is just mere marijuana.
So as you ascend the pyramid, what's next?
Next, we have PragerU, we have Quillette, which is pretty good, and we have Breitbart, and we have the MAGA movement.
And then, boy, it starts getting bad.
I'm feeling pretty radical all of a sudden.
I bet you are.
What's next?
You are next, and this is second to the top.
You have none other than American Renaissance.
You have the Daily Stormers.
You have the American Identity Movement, you have Stormfront, you have Generation Identity, and then some Nazi flags.
I don't recognize these as any group.
And then at the very top, oh boy, these people are just persona non grata.
I don't recognize a single one of these symbols.
I guess there are groups that wave these symbols around, but I don't recognize them at all.
American Renaissance, and I'm sure Radio Renaissance is right up there.
We are just below these unrecognizable, obviously horrifying Nazi bomb-throwers.
So I guess this is how the Department of Homeland Security is making sure that the American people are safe, that our democracy is not threatened by vicious people.
And once again, just to remind you, this is all part of the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program.
We are, well, not a gateway drug.
We are Three quarters of the way up the pyramid to we are practically an apex terrorist.
Boy, oh boy.
I hope now that you know this, you feel much, much better about how our government is spending our money and keeping us safe.
But let's see, you have a story about Lou Lulamon.
Is that how you pronounce that name?
What is it?
Lulu Lemon.
It's an upscale clothing store.
They specialize in the yoga pants that girls so wonderfully wear to accentuate their... Yes, their curves.
And how's it pronounced again?
Lulu what?
Lulu Lemon.
I just don't wear yoga pants.
I'm still looking for JC Penney's and Kmart, and all these new names just throw me.
But no, you're much hipper than I, Mr. Kersey.
So speak to us of Lululemon.
Yeah, well, this is from Outkick.com.
Lululemon fired two employees for trying to stop shoplifters.
And, well, here's what they say.
Lululemon fired two employees in Georgia earlier this month for confronting masked robbers.
Hint, hint, they were both black.
Who were ransacking their store.
Videos... I'm sorry, they were all black.
There were three of them.
Video shows three black men bursting into the Peach Street Corner's Lulu Lemon store in Atlanta.
I know exactly where that is.
That's when the thieves grabbed as much merchandise as they could before sprinting out the door.
No, no, no, you can march back out, former assistant manager Jennifer Ferguson said.
Chill, bitch, shut your ass up, one of the robbers yelled back. And again, we talked about not doing
profanity on the show, but I think it's important to get this one in there.
The men momentarily stood, the black men momentarily stood in the doorway and stared at the employees before coming back inside to grab several more pairs of leggings.
The looters allegedly struck the same store nearly a dozen times before.
Because they ran out of yoga pants, I guess.
Yeah, again, let me repeat that.
The looters allegedly struck that same store nearly a dozen times before.
Because that's what happens when retail stores, even in Georgia, have a zero-tolerance policy on chasing or physically engaging with a thief.
While women did not follow the criminals outside, they did not physically try to stop them.
Instead, they reported the robbery to the Gwinnett Police Department.
Police tracked down the thieves and charged them with felony robbery.
But the Lululemon employees lost their jobs.
It's company policy to make shoplifting as easy as possible, Outkick.com's writer says.
Quote, we are not supposed to get in the way, Ferguson said.
You kind of clear path for whatever they're going to do.
You're not even allowed to report the crime, according to the former employee.
Quote, after it's over, you scan the QR code and that's that.
We've been told not to put it in any notes because that might scare other people.
We're not supposed to call the police, not really supposed to talk about it.
End quote, our regional manager questioned Ferguson and five year employee.
Uh, Rachel Rogers on why they decided to call the police.
Then the company fired the two without severance.
Quote, I am more than proud to announce that my wife went into fight mode, Ferguson's husband, Jason, wrote on Facebook.
Quote, she protected herself and other employees and the store by yelling at them to get out.
She defended her space and her people.
End quote.
According to Jason, the women were told it would look bad for Lululemon to be the company calling the police.
End quote.
So there you go.
That's that is retail.
Three years after the summer of George Floyd.
You know, I think I read where Old Navy is now the latest company to be leaving San Francisco.
We're looting and what is it?
You can steal up to $1,000 and nothing is wrong.
We'll be charged.
And now this is, this is going on in Chicago.
We know what's going on in DC.
We know this is going to New York where people just come in and steal whatever they want to.
And even Atlanta, I guess, even in Georgia, it's just, it's the march of progress, the march of progress.
Everybody's catching up to California.
Yeah.
Soon Atlanta will be a Lululemon desert.
A yoga pants desert.
I won't miss it.
Well, back to New York City.
This guy's really fighting discrimination.
Mayor Eric Adams signed a bill into law just last Friday banning weight and height discrimination in the workplace, in public places, and when individuals are applying for housing.
You know, I guess some people think, you know, if you weigh 400 pounds, the floors might give in.
But I don't know if people are ever discriminated against on height for housing.
But in any case, can't discriminate.
The move amends the city's human rights law to include as protected categories perceived and actual weight and height discrimination.
So council member Sean Abreu, Democrat of Manhattan, introduced the legislation After he gained 40 pounds during the pandemic, and he noticed his friends making comments about his weight.
I mean, he hadn't faced any discrimination, presumably, but people said, gosh, you've put on weight.
And council member Sean Abreu said, no one should have to live with the silent burden of size discrimination to feel as if they are defined by their stature rather than by their character.
Golly.
Well, I wonder if there'll be quotas for fat people.
And my real question is, if you can't discriminate in employment, will this apply to exotic dancers?
Are they going to be overweight, four-foot-tall pole dancers?
And how about professional basketball players?
I guess you've got to hire some short ones, some fat ones.
This stuff is just crazy.
But that's our modern way of doing things.
Equity in all matters.
And you were talking about Lululemon, but apparently there's something else I know nothing about.
There is a high-toned workout gym chain called Equinox on Upper East Side.
Equinox.
And someone by the name of Robin Europe, she spells the name R-O with an umlaut, B-Y-N-N, Robin Europe.
Between 2018-2019, she worked in Equinox in the Upper East Side, very high-tone, tony Upper East Side, where she managed personal trainers.
Well, Equinox fired her in less than a year because the company said she was late 47 times in the course of 10 months.
47 times!
Wow!
That's more than once a week.
Ms.
Europe held a different view of her firing, saying her lateness was just a pretext for discrimination, racial and sexual.
And she filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, arguing that it was a hostile work environment, that they don't like blacks and women.
A predominantly white jury of five women and three men, five women, that was a bad mistake on the part of the defense.
Delivered a verdict in a little over an hour, and the next day they awarded her—get this—$11.25 million.
$11.25 million.
That was $10 million in punitives and $1.25 million for her distress.
That was 10 million punitives and $1.25 million for her distress.
Pretty expensive distress, it seems to me.
Now this is part of the transformative social movements around race and gender might reframe
the way juries think about emotional disruption and bigotry or sexual violence.
This is sexual violence, apparently.
Racism and sexism, they are pervasive in the fitness industry, she said in a long and sympathetic interview with the New York Times.
The case revolved in large part around a middle-aged white man I wonder if he was overweight.
In any case, she claimed he repeatedly made vulgar remarks about black women's bodies, referred to non-white employees as lazy, and expressed the hope that he could get them fired.
But were they or weren't they?
Lazy.
He also called one black co-worker autistic.
Well, boy, that's worth at least a quarter of a million dollars right there.
In the early spring of 2019, the suit claimed that he demanded that she wait outside the gym for him for a young black woman to leave a cafe where she worked so that he could make a pass at her, on the theory that he would be better positioned with a black person standing next to him.
Well, boy, I mean, that's just ferociously racist.
Good grief.
Apparently, these are the horrible things that were done to her.
And Ms.
Europe, according to the complaint, quote, refused to be a racial pawn.
She refused to be his wingwoman.
Lawyers for Equinox did not dispute that this guy did the things he did, but they argued that this was not enough to support claims of a hostile workplace and, after all, being late 47 times in 10 months was just too much.
But that's the way the country's moving these days, and this is, of course, why nobody's going to hire black women.
Because next thing you know, they're going to be hit for some sort of huge, huge damages claim.
Well, this one is one that goes under the heading of Can't Get Crazier Than This.
There's a Florida-based trans activist group called Queer Trans Project, and According to the Epoch Times, it secretly shipped dozens of weapons and hundreds of sex change kits to children in 45 states across the country.
These build-a-queer kits contain artificial male genitalia, breast binders, condoms, Tampax, tucking tape, whatever that is.
I guess that means to tuck your unwanted organs out of the way.
The trans self-defense kits were sent out by THORN, a group promoting a self-defense project based in Chicago that works to arm and protect black and brown trans folks.
The kits contained a knife, a taser, a steel baton, pepper spray, and instructions how to use them.
Priority was given to black prostitutes for the weapons kits, according to the queer trans project leader Cielo Sunsarai.
Now, when I read about this, I was skeptical.
I thought, come on, can this really be true?
Well, I looked up the website for the Queer Trans Project, and it describes itself in these words.
We are a black-led, trans-led organization on a mission to provide gender-empowering resources to the LGBTQ plus community.
We provided self-defense kits and distributed $6,000 in gender-affirming care dollars to black trans people.
Moving forward, we'll be focusing on our Build a Queer Kits and Gender Affirming Care Flights program.
Apparently, they pay for people to fly in to get their gender affirmed.
Now, they also want to say, get your gender affirming items you need with our free, fully customizable kits.
From binders and packers to bras and makeup, our online store offers fast, hassle-free shopping without a waitlist or credit card.
Enjoy free national shipping on every order BIPOC individuals get 30-minute early access to our restock.
Ooh, 30 minutes!
30 minutes.
Well, you see, those who identify as black, indigenous, and or people of color will get 30 minutes of VIP early access before the restock is open to the general public.
So if they run out one of their Build A Queer kits, and they'll tell them, okay, they're going to be back in stock 8am Saturday morning, and you get a 30-minute VIP early access if you are a BIPOC.
Oh dear.
And let's see, there's something called a trans-masculine kit.
You get a binder to minimize breasts and a realistic piece of rubber to put in your underwear and assorted other goodies, but with BIPOC priority.
What a story to start LGBTQ Pride Month.
I need to go get some Listerine and wash my mouth out.
Well, I mean, wash your ears out.
I'm not the one who had to say all these things.
This is the West in 2023.
These are strange times.
Indeed, strange times.

There is, there is.
Maybe we should talk more about it next time.
But if you go to Amway.com, right on the homepage you will see an advertisement for a conference And as I like to say, because I am a child of the 60s, be there or be square.
