	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
	I'm your host, Jared Taylor, and with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
	Well, I had a splendid week, Mr. Kersey.
	How about yourself?
	I, too, would use that same adjective to describe my week, Mr. Taylor.
	It was splendid, and I hope all of our listeners in the United States and around the world also are having a splendid week.
	Yes, indeed.
	I made a little safari into the southern part of the United States.
	I will do a video about that, which should be up on Monday, and invite all of our listeners, far and wide, young and old, to have a look.
	Other than that, I won't say no more.
	And let us move right into comments.
	I had quite a few comments, mostly critical, about what I had to say about the indictments of Mr. Trump.
	The fourth one had just been handed down.
	And I did say that I had not read the indictments in detail and that as far as I knew, there were crimes that had been committed.
	But I thought that it was extremely unseemly that the party in power should be indicting the lead opposition candidate.
	That was all I said.
	I also did suggest that the people who are in power have no idea just how much disaffection they are creating.
	And that I believed that this event, this indictment, this sort of third world, third world like attempt of a party in power to hobble the leading opposition candidate would lead or would be contributing to a serious breakdown of the United States.
	Not necessarily in terms of what physically happens, but the kind of terrible disaffection that this will put into the minds of millions of Americans.
	But one of the comments says, your commentary on DJT's legal woes confused me.
	You haven't looked into any of the charges, and yet you come down completely in favor of those who are outraged by the filings.
	Another person says, Mr. Taylor says he thinks the U.S.
	is going to disintegrate because of the Georgia charges.
	Would senior citizens stop receiving social security checks?
	Would the electric utilities stop providing electricity?
	Would McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell shut down and processed?
	This is just scare talk.
	We hear that too often.
	And another commenter said, I was acting just like black people who rally around obvious criminals just because they are of the same race.
	Well, my point really is not so much the country will cease to function, but that this will make millions of people—remember, 70 million people voted for Donald Trump, and many, many millions seem to think that he's innocent no matter what.
	My point is, the Democrats, I think, there's probably no statute of limitations on these crimes.
	They could have let him run in the election, let him win or lose, fair and square, fair and square, and then bring these charges.
	It just looks awful.
	The other thing is, I wonder, I have no doubt that if these charges are pressed and he goes to trial, he'll be found guilty.
	At his age, probably, these guilty verdicts mean he will die in prison.
	That, to me, is really an awful-looking thing.
	And, Mr. Kersey, I wonder what your opinion on this is, but when the marshals come, and they're about to take him off to jail, And Donald Trump issues an appeal.
	They're coming now, fellows.
	Can you possibly really let this happen?
	And now he's back on Twitter, on Truth Social.
	Even if only five men with rifles showed up, that could be a pretty nasty undertaking.
	Do you think there's any possibility of that if the marshals come to take him off, haul him off to jail?
	No, I mean, and I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime, obviously, where the leading candidate for the Republican nomination for president, the opposition party, is being persecuted.
	It's amazing, Mr. Taylor, that, you know, the lady in Atlanta Where I'm from, the suburbs at least, watching the Fulton County DA, it is a black woman.
	And you see the same thing with Alvin Bragg in Manhattan.
	You see the same thing with what's happened in D.C.
	And it's as if we are in a, you know, a controlled nation.
	And we're the opposition now.
	And Donald Trump, he warned people.
	He said, hey, listen, I'm the only thing keeping them from you.
	And you think about all these Well, it was probably the most defiant mugshot I ever saw.
	But when you look through the charges brought against some of these 19 co-defendants, these things are trivial, utterly trivial.
	What was your thought when you saw his mugshot from Georgia?
	Well, it was probably the most defiant mugshot I ever saw.
	But when you look through the charges brought against some of these 19 co-defendants, these
	things are trivial, utterly trivial.
	This thing is so trumped up, it's awful.
	And furthermore, Fannie, I understand that's how she pronounces her name.
	I guess it's the sort of African pronunciation for F-A-N-N-I, not Fannie.
	That would sound too American.
	Fannie, Fannie Willis, just proposes that the Trump trial begin in October.
	October, for heaven's sake!
	In this huge, absolutely cover-the-waterfront kind of lawsuit.
	You can't prepare for that amount of time she's allotting to this.
	This clearly is persecution.
	And furthermore, the latest Rasmussen reports say that 55% of probable U.S.
	voters approved of Georgia bringing criminal charges, 40% strongly approved, but 42% disapproved,
	including 35% who strongly disapproved.
	As I say, I think that there is, there's a real concern as to what could happen when
	the armed, whoever it is, comes to haul him off to jail.
	I just think it is exceedingly unseemly.
	Another thing, and this may surprise people, I think if Joe Biden, who probably, well, if he wins the election and Donald Trump is found guilty, it would be a great act of generosity and magnanimity of him to pardon him.
	I think the possibility of that is zero, because there's so much vindictiveness, so much hatred.
	I think that because of this vindictiveness and hatred, the Democrats are perfectly prepared to do something that, if the country does fall apart, separate, in retrospect, this will be seen as one of the things that made it happen.
	But that is the way they see the world, and that is the way they're moving forward.
	In any case, those are some of the comments that came my way, and I thought I would reply to them.
	I probably should not have gotten off on this whole question of indictments.
	Anyway, it is not entirely our beat.
	It's not our beat, Mr. Taylor, but look at what's happening to so many other conservatives who have dared try and fight against the regime.
	James O'Keefe, someone that I know, he's now being targeted by... Oh yes, oh yes.
	Our time will come.
	Our time will probably come.
	So yes, it is a pattern of stamping out dissent.
	But in this way, as I've said already a hundred times, for the regime to put its appointed, obviously partisan, prosecutors to work trying to destroy the leading opposition candidate is just so Guatemalan, so El Salvadoran.
	It's probably an insult to El Salvador not even to say that.
	It's just such banana activity.
	I'm going to ask one last question of you, Mr. Taylor.
	What do you think, do you think that this was even in his wildest imagination when he came down the escalator at Trump Tower back in 2018?
	To think that eight years later, here it is.
	Here he is.
	He's inmate, according to Drudge.
	He's inmate number P01135809.
	Well, not inmate.
	Not inmate.
	He's charged defendant, I suppose.
	He's not an inmate yet.
	Or I guess maybe theoretically he was an inmate in the Fulton County Jail while he was being processed, which is where he was.
	Precisely.
	Yeah, because he was bailed out.
	Bonded out.
	Yeah, I guess.
	Okay, so he was an inmate.
	Yeah.
	Well, well.
	Inmate Trump.
	Boy, well, I think we're going to have to get used to that idea, because it's coming.
	So, moving on to perhaps less contentious comments.
	After last week's episode, I reread Mr. Taylor's review and very useful précis of Hans Hermann Hoppe's Democracy, The God That Failed.
	This is because another Another listener had suggested that we talk about Hans-Hermann Hoppe and the idea that democracy is not the ideal solution.
	The commenter goes on to say, here in South Africa, that particular deity's power, the god that failed, and failure are increasingly and bitterly resented by us, the Afrikaner or Boer people.
	The ills that have befallen us can mainly be attributed to democracy, that and the evil of our leaders in 1994, those the whites who turned the country over to blacks.
	If we were in opposition to the other races, and we were, we were besting them on every terrain except one, population.
	Our foolish government decided to make that the exclusive method to decide who will come away with everything.
	That fateful decision has devastated our country.
	As I regularly point out, the ANC did not give us democracy.
	Democracy gave us the ANC.
	I think that's an excellent point.
	It's worthwhile to note that the best run town in South Africa is the thriving whites only enclave of Orania, which makes no room for involvement of political parties.
	White people to the West need to shake off the dead hand of the current form of democracy.
	If they don't, just look at South Africa.
	Regards from the Orange Free State.
	Well, I guess there's another way of saying demography is destiny.
	What might work in a very homogeneous, high IQ, high trust white society Clearly does not work in the kind of multi-culti mishmash we're turning our countries into.
	And what's happening with DJT, I think, is yet another example of how we are falling apart along racial lines.
	OK, next comment.
	On the August 8th podcast, you mentioned that a black college conference is not coming to Florida.
	Remember, they are boycotting Florida because they think that Ron DeSantis is going to, I guess, whistle up lynch mobs to come for them if they come to Florida.
	Our listener says, could they boycott Minnesota?
	Please!
	I'm a laundry attendant at a hotel in Minneapolis.
	Black people's hair is a terrible bother to get out of towns.
	They might as well steal the towels because a lot of the time they've ruined the towels and they have to be thrown away.
	When they steal the towels, we can at least charge them for it.
	The nappy texture of their hair gets stuck in the fibers of the towels and you really have to pick at it to get it out.
	White people's hair is easy to get out and rarely sticks in the first place.
	In junior high school, I had a friend from Kenya.
	She once asked me to brush her hair.
	It was like brushing steel wool.
	And I'd never heard of this problem with black hair and towels, and so I asked this commenter to send me a photograph.
	And so she sent me a photograph at work.
	And the photograph is a hotel towel with black hairs embedded in it.
	I never would have thought that was a problem, but apparently it is.
	You hear people talking about hair all the time.
	Their black hair, which they claim to love.
	I think they have a real love-hate relationship with it.
	And I believe our first story is a reflection, really, at some level, of black hair as opposed to white hair.
	This New York Times article that you called to my attention, Mr. Kersey, is so contemptuous of whites.
	Tell us about this.
	Yeah, I only encountered it because I was looking on Twitter and Ann Coulter retweeted it and it has this great lead-in by Steve Saylor quote from the New York Times opinion section the umpety ump op-ed by a black woman enraged by the sheer effrontery of pretty blondes effrontery forgive me I Context are not in all the way.
	Can't read that.
	Well a fun tree of pretty blondes continuing to exist So this is by Tressie Macmillan Cottom, Mr. Taylor.
	She is the an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science, and she's the author of Thick and Other Essays.
	Thick?
	Thick.
	Well, how is thick spelled, by the way?
	T-H-I-C-K.
	So that obviously pertains to her body mass index, which of course we found out is racist about two months ago.
	She's a 2020 MacArthur Fellow as well.
	A genius!
	A genius!
	The genius speaks!
	Well, tell us some of her wisdom.
	Well, here's her wisdom.
	Like I said, the op-ed is entitled, In Alabama, White Tide Rushes On.
	Quote, sorority rush is a tradition at many colleges, but in the South, rush inspires the same passionate zeal as collegiate football.
	Thanks to TikTok, the University of Alabama's incarnation of that tradition, peak neo-antebellum white Southern culture on display is now- What, what?
	Peak neo-bellum anti-what?
	What was that?
	Peak neo-antebellum white Southern culture on display.
	Okay, neo-antebellum.
	Okay, so they're pretending to be confederates.
	Yeah, it's now a global phenomenon.
	The current sorority members choose coordinated outfits like crop tops and tennis shorts for synchronized dance routines to promote their chapters on TikTok.
	There's a lot of hair in these videos.
	Standardized for link and blonde and ratios.
	Impossible.
	Impossible, Mr. Taylor, without chemical intervention.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	Some of them dye their hair, or at least you think so.
	It swings exuberantly, signaling good health and traditional femininity.
	Obviously the opposite of her book, Thick.
	Their robotic dancing to hip-hop songs showcases gymnastic athleticism instead of looser routines made for the club.
	They keep time, but even the fact that they aren't clapping on the one and three seems intentional.
	Oh, how awful.
	How awful.
	How disgusting.
	protects them from the dreaded label trashy.
	Their southern accents are the linguistic equivalent of pointing a ring light at their shiny hair
	and tasteful makeup.
	For a mainstream- Oh, how awful.
	How awful.
	How disgusting.
	Yes.
	For a mainstream- For a mainstream culture struggling to adapt
	to the ways the gender is exploding all around them, that accent is seductive.
	Fact check true.
	It says that these are ideal women.
	Fact check also true from a regional culture that values traditional gender norms and people cannot get enough of it.
	As for myself, I'm proud to say that my TikTok algorithm has not delivered me any Bama Rush videos.
	I assume I don't get Bama Rush videos on my social media feeds for the same reason that I would not have been an ideal Bama Rush candidate.
	When I was a co-ed.
	Bama Rush is very, very white.
	And my algorithms are programmed for me.
	Someone who is not.
	Fleet's documentary touches on the inherited culture and code of conduct that filters for the right type of young woman.
	Thin.
	Able-bodied.
	Athletic.
	And yes, in most cases, white.
	To Rush at the University of Alabama.
	That sounds what's probably the complete opposite of herself.
	Uh, if you see a picture of our melanin enhanced, uh, friend, Tressie McMillan Cottom, uh, she is, she is, uh, incredibly melanin enhanced and also rather turgid.
	So yes, she is, um, she is, she is obese.
	Uh, hence the title of her book, Thick, as she tries to normalize the, the thick, uh, I believe the black singer is Lizo.
	I don't know the correct pronunciation cause I don't listen to her music.
	Mike, My YouTube algorithm goes completely the opposite of Thick Sister's music.
	So, let's get back to our op-ed, though.
	Almost 85% of the sorority members in the Alabama Panhellenic Association, comprising most of the university sororities, were white, a percentage disproportionate to the racial makeup of the university and the state.
	The university is about 77% white.
	When I went to school for undergrad, also in the great state of Alabama, My university was about 94% white.
	It's dropped since then, which is a great travesty, but the same thing can be said at the University of Alabama.
	But anyways, these young women's world, which exists outside the frame of a TikTok video, deserves to be taken seriously.
	Their emotional labor moves a lot of capital.
	Elite status cultures invest a lot in marriages, and that's no different in the South.
	For all that sorority sisters talk about bonding and lifelong friends,
	the power of these sororities is not sisterhood, it's the brotherhood that desires it.
	Bama Rush codifies the many incentives behind marrying power and turns them
	into a lifelong audition, to become a handmaiden to a patriarchal privilege.
	Become pretty enough.
	Becoming pretty enough to sit at the right hand of machines that chew up history in the future is not my idea of getting ahead.
	Machines that chew up history in the future?
	This is in the New York Times, right?
	This is in the New York Times op-ed section by, again, Tressie McMillan Cottom.
	She's a MacArthur Fellow and Associate Professor at UNC in Chapel Hill.
	Read that sentence again.
	Here it comes.
	I'm just giving you her credentials.
	All right.
	Becoming pretty enough to sit at the right hand of machines that chew up history and the future is not my idea of getting ahead.
	Heaven's name.
	I thought they had copy editors at the New York Times.
	Anyway, please continue.
	Copy editing is racist, Mr. Taylor.
	You're right.
	Good grammar is racist.
	Exactly.
	Making sense is racist.
	This is Alabama, the University of Alabama.
	This is the university where George Wallace infamously stood in the classroom doorway on the first day of class in 1963.
	My gosh, 50 years 60 years ago, to block Vivian Malone and James A. Hood from matriculating.
	You look at the images from that period of massive resistance to school integration and the crowd shots of young white women and young white men and women chanting at Vivian and James, who are flanked by the National Guard as they broker integration with their lives.
	The idea that joining a sorority is integration feels hollow, but especially at a place where integration once meant so much.
	It might be reasonable to want everyone to have access to what Bama Rush promises, but the sorority does not have the power to confer it.
	Not really.
	It can only brand it.
	Not everyone can be thin, white, and blonde.
	Too bad!
	No, even if they're chemically enhanced with their blonde looks.
	It can only brand it, and if it works really hard and looks pretty while doing it, can grope to marry it.
	And I ask, why would anyone want to integrate that?
	You know what?
	Ms.
	Cottom, I agree.
	Why don't you go to an HBCU, Alabama State.
	There are plenty of HBCUs where there is the brown paper bag test.
	And there's actually, you know, racial animosity between the lighter skinned black girls and the darker skinned black girls.
	If you want to take a look at that, by the way, Mr. Taylor, I encourage all of our listeners to YouTube Alabama State University stingettes and look at the light-skinned black girls who do a lot of the dancing who represent The best of that University and then the flag bearers who are very very dark skinned and thick there's actually been a lot of people who get upset about this because they complain that the Alabama stingettes at Alabama State University and HBCU are very very very light-skinned and very white looking as opposed to the darker skinned thicker and
	Black sisters, Mr. Taylor, who were never selected for that honor.
	Well, wasn't there some conclusion right at the end that she wants all of this to just disappear into the waste bin of history?
	Let me go down to the end of that article.
	Excuse me, it was cut off in my notes.
	Sometimes the proper place for something is the past, and the thing just does not yet know it.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	You poor white people.
	You poor pathetic white people.
	You belong in the past.
	Get ready for it.
	Yeah, and the New York Times publishes this trash.
	You know, I went to the New York Times website, and a lot of people think, oh, how insightful, how wonderful.
	But a few people wrote in to say, this is just pure hatred.
	And I was glad to see those people got a lot of thumbs up.
	But most of the times, most of the times you're saying, oh, this is just so thoughtful, so makes one reflect.
	Well, I'm looking at the cover.
	Of this lady's book, Tressie McMillan Cottom.
	C-O-T-T-O-M.
	Not cotton!
	That would be racist, of course.
	And here she is on the cover, and she is pretty doggone thick.
	And the word thick is written in a very suggestive way.
	It's T-H-I-C-K, and the H is really super, super stretched out wide.
	It's about as wide as Tressie herself is.
	But I hate to break it to you, Mr. Kersey, but she straightens her hair.
	Oh, she does?
	She does.
	No Afro on Tressie.
	Oh dear.
	I guess she has swaddled all these white supremacist beauty standards after all the ones that she's so drippingly scorns.
	So she's, she's conforming to Eurocentric norms of beauty when it comes to hair.
	Afraid so.
	Afraid so.
	I wonder if she's ever chemically enhanced it with a little bit of, you know, a little blonde in there.
	Well, man, if she keeps watching those Bama Rush videos, she might try.
	Hey, by the way, if I could encourage any of our listeners who are looking to attend a school, you should go to a school with a thriving Greek culture for both men and women in terms of
	predominantly white university institution.
	I think they're called predominantly white institutions because you will see some of
	the most beautiful down to earth, wonderfully engaging girls at the schools where the Panhellenic
	Council still thrives in the South, because that is a distinct culture and it is worth
	Um, our friend, well, she's not our friend, but someone who says that it belongs in the past.
	I disagree.
	I think it should proliferate and, uh, uh, and be something that, um, comes back in a, in a really hard way.
	Well, let us move on from Ms.
	Cottom and go to something else, really.
	This is a similar thing.
	It's really quite incredible to me the way once blacks or non-whites get in a position of some kind of power or find themselves as commentators, the kind of scorn they heap on white people.
	And here's a great example.
	The English Women's World Cup team.
	I believe they just got eliminated, the Women's World Cup team.
	But the team has been blasted for being too full of blonde, blue-eyed players.
	Oh boy.
	The establishment media continues to air openly racial attacks on the native population, and this is just one of them.
	Following the loss to Spain, there was a panel discussion hosted by Sky News.
	Wilfred Emanuel Jones, a Jamaican-born British farmer.
	What in heaven's name is a Jamaican-born British farmer?
	And why is he talking about soccer?
	He says, it really sticks out at you.
	They look blonde and blue-eyed.
	Well, I guess they look blonde and blue-eyed because that's what they are.
	If it were the Men's Cup, it would be very representative of the Britain that we're in and very, very diverse.
	I wish them well, but I do think we need to ask ourselves questions about why is that lack of diversity?
	The comments, of course, were reminiscent of those made by Bridgerton actress Ajoa Ando.
	I mean, here's one of these phony blacks stuck into some 19th century costume drama.
	And she said on national television during the coronation of King Charles, That the monarch and the royal family as a whole were, quote, terribly white.
	Terribly white.
	How dare the British royal family be terribly white?
	Gosh, can you imagine somebody complaining about some Nigerian tribal group?
	Gee, they're all black.
	That's awful.
	And of course, these comments about the English Women's World Cup team, they came just as it was revealed that the far-lefty mayor of London, Sadiq Khan's office, had published a media guidance handbook that instructed staff that pictures of white families don't represent real Londoners.
	I believe you have a few more details on that particular insult to white people.
	Oh, I do.
	You know, London was about 98% white when the Germans were engaged in the Battle of Britain, or what we know as the Battle of Britain back in 1940.
	And here we are, what, 60, 80, 83 years later, Sadiq Khan has now plunged into a race row, according to the Daily Mail, after his official website publishes a picture of white family and says they don't represent real Londoners.
	They're just phony Londoners.
	They're intruders.
	They're immigrants.
	They're outsiders.
	They aren't indigenous.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're just a nuisance to be replaced, as Miss Cottom said, put in the past.
	The Labour London Mayor faced calls to apologize after the extraordinary message appeared in the official guide on how to portray the brand of the Mayor and the Greater London Authority.
	This was despite the fact that the guide opened with the words, a city for all Londoners, and a promise to appeal to, quote, everyone, no matter their age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, disability, or family makeup, end quote.
	Except if they're white.
	Except if they're native white.
	Except if they're whitey.
	Last night, Mr. Khan was forced to disown the caption of the picture, which shows a couple and their two children walking along the Thames with Parliament in the background.
	The mayor's spokesperson said, quote, the photo caption was added by a staff member in error, in error, and doesn't reflect the view of the mayor or the greater London authority.
	She added that the content was now being reviewed to ensure the language and guidance is appropriate.
	Quote, the entire guide entitled Lookbook, Mayor of London Brand Guidelines, was also taken down from the official London.gov website shortly after the mail on Sunday contacted Mr. Khan's office.
	Last night, Susan Hall, the Tory candidate for next year's London mayoral election, called on Mr. Khan to issue an apology.
	She said, hey, all Londoners are real Londoners, no matter their ethnicity, and said, I disagree.
	I disagree completely.
	No, no, I just read the quote.
	I'm just reading the quote from this goofy Tory who, again, she's betraying all of her ancestors with this insidious.
	Again, I'll say what she said and then, Mr. Taylor, you can opine.
	We're very exuberant.
	I get it.
	I get it.
	These stories should only create exuberance and a need for an immediate response.
	So here we go.
	Quote, she said this, all Londoners are real Londoners, no matter their ethnicity.
	And Sadiq Khan needs to apologize and stop these desperate, politically motivated attempts to divide people.
	End quote.
	Well, Mr. Taylor, I'd actually argue that he's not dividing people.
	He's uniting the new Londoners who are replacing the white Londoners.
	Let us hope he is uniting the white Londoners, too.
	That's the terrible aspect of this.
	All these white Londoners saying, oh, no, no, you got to count us in, too.
	We count, too.
	Everybody's welcome.
	But don't forget, there are a few of us left.
	Don't count us out.
	That is the tone that the opposition to this crazy statement takes.
	Yeah, you know, we love your ethnic food, but whatever.
	She also attacked the London mayor for the amount of space Devoted in the brand guidelines to how he should be pictured Anyways, who cares about that what all I care about is the fact that London is Occupied territory at this point and they're now kind of gloating over that fact.
	So we know that yes, exactly well, you know, I think this the whole idea that the the government of London And Sadiq Khan put out a handbook, a brand guideline.
	In other words, they're trying to come up with a Sadiq Khan brand.
	As I recall, in that guide, it says, you know, here's a set of 40 pictures or some such number.
	It says, these are the ones we'd like you to use when you talk about our wonderful mayor.
	Don't take your own pictures.
	Don't take any unflattering pictures.
	Here.
	Here are the ones you're supposed to use.
	The guide.
	The brand guide.
	And don't you dare consider white Londoners as representative Londoners.
	The whole thing.
	The whole thing.
	It's just so phony.
	At the same time, so contemptuous of white people.
	But I believe you've got a similar story about the police officers in Seattle.
	This is just, this is practically worldwide.
	Can't have too many white people and spit on the ones that are still here.
	Yeah, this is one that didn't get a lot of, uh, a lot of play because there's so much happening right now that it's hard to look at the macro and the micro and really distill down to just how this anti-white mindset has seeped into the bureaucracy of, of so many places, including a place that is still, I believe Seattle is roughly about 72 to 75% white.
	It's one of the biggest, um, it's one of the biggest white, uh, populous, uh, major cities in America.
	Here's the headline.
	Mayor's Office Demanded Fewer White Men, Military, and Seattle Police Recruitment.
	After taking over recruitment efforts for the Seattle Police Department, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's office demanded the department show fewer white men in military bearing and recruitment materials, according to a memo exclusively obtained by Jason Rantz by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.
	The document was seemingly destroyed and the mayor's office did not initially turn it over through a public disclosure request as required by law.
	Ben Dagledy, a digital strategy lead from the mayor's office, took control of SPD marketing efforts.
	In a March 2023 memo to SPD Human Resources staff titled, SPD Marketing More and Less, Dagledy asked for less images and videos of officers who are white.
	The memo was part of a larger effort to hire fewer white men, according to a source, and it may be illegal.
	Well, it is illegal.
	asked for more officers of color, officers of different genders, and officers
	who were younger. The memo was part of a larger effort to hire fewer white men
	according to a source and it may be illegal. Well it is illegal. The memo
	caused a stir and the demand was seen by some at the SPD as discriminatory. I
	thought, are you kidding me?
	You put this in writing?
	One source inside the department tells the Jason Rant Show on the condition of anonymity.
	It shows not only a lack of respect for officers, but a lack of respect for the military.
	Shows a lack of respect for white people, dude.
	Come on.
	Sorry, that's my editorializing.
	They have no understanding of someone willing to put their lives on the line for their fellow man.
	They don't have respect.
	End quote.
	The source also said the intent of the mayor's recruitment team was to hire fewer white officers and military veterans.
	After learning that the memo raised significant concerns, Dagledy edited the file of the memo and effectively destroying a record that the city was obliged to maintain for public disclosure.
	Now, this is at the bottom, but I think this should be at the top.
	So they're bearing from an inverted pyramid standpoint.
	This is really important.
	When Harrell announced his recruitment and retention plan in 2022 of July, Vowing to hire 500 cops by 2027, he committed to a police department with diverse racial and immigration backgrounds.
	He called for a new kind of police officer.
	This meant the recruitment strategy needed to evolve.
	The intent, it turned out, appeared to mean hiring fewer white men and military veterans, which represented protected classes at a time the department is dangerously and desperately short of police officers.
	The department lost 61 officers through June 20, 2023 and only recruited 41.
	As exclusively reported by Jason Rance's program, some 70% of recruitment and retention initiatives and programs the mayor promised to complete by 2020 are either incomplete or abandoned.
	Now, of course, Mr. Taylor and all of our listeners might recall that Seattle was ground zero for a lot of the George Floyd insanity.
	I believe that was where the autonomous zone was that actually took over a police station.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, yes.
	But now they're trying to hire them back, hire police back, but they just don't want white men, and they don't want people with any kind of military training.
	No, they just want social workers with tasers on their hips, I guess.
	But by the way, whites in Seattle are 65.7% according to the wisdom of the internet.
	So it's still, yes, definitely one of the whitest, whitest big cities in the country, but can't have white police officers.
	Now, there are some people reacting to some of this stuff.
	Six faculty members sued California's community college system To overthrow new diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility rules.
	They have added an A to D-E-I.
	They're D-E-I-A.
	Accessibility.
	Because people, you know, are so, so prejudiced against people with disabilities.
	The DEIA rules require faculty members to teach in a manner reflecting DEIA and anti-racist principles, and they promote a race-conscious and intersectional lens, says the lawsuit.
	The state of California wants professors not to weaponize academic freedom and academic integrity as tools to impede equity.
	They don't want to weaponize academic freedom.
	The state, of course, wants to weaponize critical race theory.
	But they don't want teachers to inflict curricular trauma on our students.
	Of course, unless they're white, and then you can browbeat them all you want.
	California's community college districts must now evaluate faculty performance based on faculty members' compliance with DEIA rules.
	If professors want to keep their jobs, each of California's community colleges requires that faculty incorporate the requirements into lesson plans and lectures.
	Now, the system, the California Community College System, includes 116 colleges and 1.8 million students.
	colleges and 1.8 million students.
	Wow.
	And a union contract with their Fresno-based state-centered community college district
	imposes these rules along with the system's own policies.
	So that's 116 campuses with 1.8 million students.
	I wonder how that compares to the actual state university system in terms of number of colleges, number of students, In any case, this is really quite gruesome.
	They have to evaluate faculty performance based on DEIA, accessibility included, rules to keep their jobs.
	They've got to funnel all this stuff into the lesson plans and lectures.
	Boy, I wonder how long this has been the case.
	But in any case, a few faculty members are finally getting fed up with it and suing.
	Now, here's another example.
	This is having to do with a suit against Progressive Insurance.
	It's been sued for, quote, patently unlawful racism by offering $25,000 grants to black-owned businesses so they can buy vehicles.
	Now, what Progressive... I guess they insure vehicles or something?
	They do.
	That's it.
	That's an auto insurer.
	And I recommend not using them.
	Well, but they're going to they're going to give black owned businesses $25,000 each to buy vehicles.
	Well, and they say that this is because blacks have historically struggled to gain access to capital.
	Well, America First Legal, we have talked about them several times on this podcast.
	They said the case was a broader assault against big corporations that inject racial considerations into every aspect of their business, employment practices, and everything else.
	America vs. Legal, AFL, was of course founded by Stephen Miller, I think the staunchest white man in the entire Trump White House, and I am not excluding Donald Trump from that comparison.
	Most confidently, that's for sure.
	Yeah, the group says they are fighting back against lawless executive actions of the Biden administration and the radical left.
	In recent weeks, AFL has also launched suits against Amazon, Target, Kellogg's, and the video game maker Activision Blizzard.
	I'm very pleased by that.
	I don't know the details of those suits, but I'm very pleased that AFL is in action.
	Are you a gamer?
	Is that why you're excited about Activision?
	Oh, no, no, no.
	I'm an anti-gamer, if anything.
	I think that fries the brain.
	But Amazon target Kellogg's and Activision Blizzard.
	No, I have absolutely no idea what games Activision Blizzard wants to blanket the country with.
	But no, I think this is great.
	It reminds me of that fellow Blum.
	I can't remember his name.
	Was it Edward Blum, the guy who financed the suits against Harvard and the University of North Carolina?
	He has been sending very stiff letters to universities all around the country, telling them, we've got new rules now, boys.
	You better abide by them or we've got our crosshairs on you.
	So it's good to see people with a certain amount of good sense marshalling Resources to use what's left of the legal system.
	And speaking of the legal system, remember Tyree Nichols?
	Tyree Nichols, that poor guy was beaten to death by five police officers in Memphis.
	This is the kind of fallout you get from hiring miserable police officers.
	A district attorney in Tennessee dismissed more than 30 cases involving the five former police officers charged with second-degree murder in the death of Tyree Nichols.
	District Attorney Stephen Mulroy said his office is reviewing approximately 100 cases involving these officers.
	In addition to the 30 dismissals, charges were reduced in about a dozen other cases.
	As in any city, the primary consideration is concern about the credibility as witnesses of these discharged officers, the statement said.
	Well, I have no doubt.
	Well, I suppose I should permit myself a certain amount of doubt, but I suspect all of these people are guilty.
	You don't end up in the clutches of the police ordinarily in just standard street crime, for example, without having done something.
	But all of these cases are being thrown out because of these incompetent and now untrustworthy, charged with murder police officers that Memphis hired.
	We talked before about how they had lowered the standards, how in Memphis you can have a violent felony conviction and still be hired as a police officer.
	All in the name of equity.
	Oh, boy, that's equitable.
	That's equitable.
	So now all of the cases, well, they're going over every single case that these people were involved in, and they are throwing out the charges, reducing charges.
	And, of course, the city of Memphis, its police department, and the fired officers also are facing a civil lawsuit filed by Nichols' family.
	So, the police department is going to have even fewer resources.
	They'll have to fire our even less competent officers.
	This is just a death spiral for a place like Memphis.
	And one last little article here before we get to your very interesting story about the Somali warlord who has returned to Minneapolis.
	But let's talk briefly about Confederate migrants.
	For over a century, a life-sized statue of a Confederate soldier stood atop a towering monument in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
	I mean, I saw a photograph of it towering.
	Well, what is it?
	20 feet tall?
	But if it's a Confederate soldier, it's on a towering monument.
	Look out!
	Imposing!
	Intimidating, even!
	The murder of George Floyd.
	A black man by white police officers in Minneapolis in 2020 ignited a national conversation about Confederate monuments and sparked new calls in Fort Smith to take it down.
	Every time I hear about this mess igniting a national conversation—no, national conversation.
	Newspapers started fanatically driving home the idea that every time a black person walks by a Confederate soldier, it forces him to go out and mug somebody, whatever it is they actually think.
	But before local leaders could decide its fate, the Arkansas legislature revoked their power.
	Citing the vandalism of monuments, Republican state lawmakers passed a law in 2021 that prevents Fort Smith from removing its monument and supplants local control over dozens of other statues across the state.
	Arkansas is one of many southern states that have passed historic preservation laws to strip local leaders of the power to take down Confederate monuments.
	Bills in former states, such as Texas and Florida, were introduced in Republican-controlled legislatures this year.
	Now similar bills are appearing in states that were not part of the Confederacy, including New York and Pennsylvania.
	I wonder who they are afraid is going to be taken down.
	Legislators in at least 20 states have proposed more than 100 bills that would limit changes to hundreds of Confederate monuments across the United States.
	Yes, some still exist.
	Some of these statute statutes, as they're called, isn't that cute, Mr. Kersey?
	They propose harsh financial penalties or even criminal charges against municipalities that remove the monuments.
	Attorneys, researchers, and legal experts say such laws don't just affect cities' control over monuments, They are part of a larger attempt to erode the power of blue cities in red states.
	Well, I think that's all very interesting.
	I am very much in favor of keeping those monuments up.
	But it does show you the kind of, once again, the division we have in this country.
	These people who are diametrically opposed in the way they see not just the question of Confederate statues, but just about anything you can think of.
	In any case, let's go on to this complicated but interesting Somali warlord who, well anyway, you'll tell us the story.
	You know, Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota used to be a great state, you know, used to be a great city, the former great city, the latter a great state.
	I've had some great times in Minnesota.
	I've had some great times in Minneapolis.
	But what we have now is a reminder that when you replace the people who made a city and a state wonderful with the people who, well, turned an Italian colony into, you know, what we now know as Somalia, bad things are happening.
	So in Minneapolis, this is a story that it's hard to read.
	It's without laughing.
	But here we go.
	Former Somali warlord spoke at Minneapolis City Council candidates fundraiser.
	Okay, let's get to the story.
	What's going on in Minneapolis?
	A former warlord.
	A retired warlord.
	Yes, a retired warlord.
	Good work if you can get it.
	I wonder what the pension program's like there.
	Nazri, and again, these last names, Nazri Warsam's guest speaker was Hussan Farah Adid.
	Is that where we're going with that?
	Adid.
	Adid.
	Whose father's militia took on the US.
	in Black Hawk Down.
	You might remember that was a book about the 1993 excursion by the U.S.
	military into Mogadishu, which was turned into a book, best-selling book, and a movie that came out in 2002, I believe.
	Yes.
	In other words, we were trying to kill the father of this currently retired warlord living in Minneapolis.
	Yeah, he's living, he's living, he's in Scottsdale, Minneapolis.
	Yes, exactly.
	So a Minneapolis City Council candidate held a June fundraiser featuring the son of a Somali political family whose patriarch was known as a ruthless warlord whose clan-based militias intercepted food shipments and attacked UN peacekeepers.
	That's the guy we were trying to kill.
	Yeah.
	The late Mohammed Farah Adid was a key player in a 1990 coup after which Somali's government collapsed in 1992 amid famine.
	His son, Hussein Farah Adid, spoke at a fundraiser for Nazri Warsimi, a DFL candidate running against council member Aisha Chugata.
	God, these names are so Norwegian and just so Nordic here in Minneapolis.
	Warsom's Law and Order campaign was hampered by a fracas that broke out during the Ward 10 DFL endorsing convention after her supporters took over the stage as Chugato was about to speak.
	Yes, we talked about this.
	This is quite extraordinary.
	I saw this video.
	Here, it's the standard thing.
	You get two competing candidates up on stage trying to explain why they should be representing the party.
	And all the black followers of one of the candidates, this Warsame, I believe his name, they just hopped up on the stage and they basically shouted down this other unpronounceable name who was trying to make her pitch.
	It was the most extraordinary thing you ever saw.
	These poor white guys in the microphone trying to chair the meeting and all of these non-whites fighting each other and shouting each other down.
	This is democracy.
	This is third world democracy coming to a state near you.
	He's trying to compel them to adhere to Robert's rule of order when we must adhere to the racial rule of order in a multiracial society where democracy, Mr. Taylor, is nothing more than racial headcount.
	Yeah, this is Ideed's rule of disorders.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, Hassan was successor to his father, Muhammad, whose militia engaged the U.S.
	military in the Battle of Mogadishu.
	Probably a precursor to the coming Battle of Minneapolis, as recounted in the book and movie Blackhawk Down.
	If you recall, Somalis dragged the bodies of white US soldiers through the streets when they shot down one of the Blackhawks, which was depicted in the movie, which I encourage all of our listeners, regardless of where you are in the world, to watch.
	Salah Ahmed, a retired University of Minnesota instructor, said he was astonished to hear Hussan was the guest speaker at a Warsaw May fundraiser and said most Somalis would not give him a warm reception.
	Quote, It's reflected with the dark time, he said, in the Civil War years when the warlords were in action and many people suffered, end quote.
	Before the Civil War, Ahmed attended a peace conference with Muhammad, Hussan's father, whom he called a warlord who spoiled the whole situation.
	Hussan served as a translator and liaison to his father in Mogadishu for a few weeks in the late 1992 and early 1993.
	And guess what?
	He had immigrated, though, prior to that, to California as a teenager in 1979.
	He joined the Marine Corps and served in Kuwait during Desert Storm, according to Military.com.
	Aidid was working for a local government in California in 1993 when the Blackhawks went down.
	He later told the Los Angeles Times he watched in horror as it unfolded on TV, saying the death of U.S.
	Rangers was like a black hole inside of me.
	The next day, a Marine commander asked him to beg his father to release a captured American pilot, he said.
	Hussan visited Somalia in 1995, the same year his father declared himself President of Somalia and named him as a successor.
	So think about that, Mr. Taylor.
	This guy immigrates to the US, he becomes a Marine, and then he's asked by a commander
	of the US Marines to beg his dad to release a captured US white American pilot, and then
	two years later his dad names him a successor.
	And it doesn't even say whether he did, whether he asked, and whether it succeeded or anything.
	But yes, he's the successor.
	I guess all is forgiven.
	The prodigal son comes back from America after serving in the United States military, which is trying to kill him.
	And boy, all is forgiven.
	All is forgiven, my boy.
	And now you can, all this can be yours, too.
	Well, and here's what happens.
	After being wounded in battle, his father, Muhammad, died in 1996.
	And his powerful, and I'm going to butcher this, but I'm going to try it, Habir Ghadir clan declared his son, Hussein, Their leader at the age of 33.
	So he leaves a $9 an hour California job, returns to Somalia where he quote, assumed control of his father's militia, inherited a vast swath of territory, and became one of Somalia's most powerful warlords himself.
	The Los Angeles Times reported.
	Gosh, that's the American dream!
	Gee, he grew up to become a Somali warlord.
	Well, and here we go.
	Let's continue with the story.
	He began referring to the Black Hawk Down incident of 1993 as a gloomy day for the aggressors and, quote, a victorious day for the Somalis.
	By 2007, he was Interior Minister for Somalia's transitional government, trying to restore security to Mogadishu, and told the Times he never developed a taste for life as a warlord.
	How do you develop the taste for life as a warlord, Mr. Taylor?
	Hmm, I guess you probably have to shoot a lot of people.
	It goes on to quote him saying this, My father was a general.
	He did things by action.
	I reverse.
	I flipped the coin.
	I did things through reconciliation, end quote.
	He sure did.
	He sure did flip a lot of coins.
	Back and forth between the United States, Mogadishu, being a nine-dollar-hour worker to a retired warlord.
	Now he's a guest speaker at political events in Minneapolis.
	That's flipping a lot of coins, boy.
	But militiamen loyal to him were responsible for public executions, according to the Christian Science Monitor.
	He was described by the Los Angeles Times as a wily opportunist who switches alliances easily, but struggled to get out from under his father's shadow.
	A wily opportunist, I'll say.
	So many fathers hope their sons can grow up to be warlords in their pattern.
	Rule with an iron fist.
	I mean, if one story kind of encapsulates why there should be no Somalis in America, I think it's this one.
	This is just such an incredible story.
	Any nation that had any self-respect, any sense of who it was, would never tolerate this kind of flip-flop.
	I mean, we would never have any Somalis here at all, but could agree this guy's a perfect example of how stupid and pointless it is to let such utter aliens come live here, certainly in large numbers like that.
	But you know, we're getting another community on its way.
	Did you know that thousands of Mauritanians are pouring into the U.S.?
	This is a result of social media having spread the word about a lesser-known low-risk way to get to America through Nicaragua.
	Mauritanians using WhatsApp, Instagram, and other channels to guide fellow immigrants along the route, which makes stops in Turkey, Colombia, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, And in Nicaragua, apparently they are whisked onto buses by smugglers, and then they run them all the way up to the U.S.-Mexico border.
	Sounds pretty elaborate to me.
	These are Mauritanians who fly to Turkey, then to Colombia, then El Salvador, Nicaragua, and whoop, across the border.
	Nicaragua is the key to this thing.
	It relaxed entry requirements.
	That means Mauritanians and other foreigners can buy a low-cost visa without any proof of onward travel.
	Well, it seems to me they're clearly going to be traveling onward anyway.
	If I could ask real quick, what nationality are you talking about?
	What country is this?
	Mauritanians.
	You never heard of Mauritania?
	I've been in Mauritania, believe it or not.
	Help out those of us who are ignorant of this proud people in this country.
	Yes, Mauritania.
	It's on the west coast of Africa, in the middle of the Sahara Desert.
	If you look at Morocco, people know where Morocco is.
	Below Morocco, there's something called the Spanish Sahara.
	It was a colony up until recently, then it was just taken over by the Moroccans.
	Below the Sahara, the Spanish, what former Spanish Sahara is Mauritania.
	Belize-Mauritania is Senegal.
	But so it's really mostly Sahara Desert.
	It's full of very low rent Arabs.
	You wouldn't want them anywhere.
	And some of the Arabs have been very badly mistreating the more black people in the southern part of the place.
	It's really a useless country.
	But I'll tell you anything.
	Well, I've been there.
	I've been there.
	I saw it firsthand.
	And listen, they're all coming here.
	Between March and June, more than 8,500 Mauritanians arrived in the U.S.
	by crossing the border illegally from Mexico.
	8,500!
	That's up Well, up from just 1,000 in the prior four months.
	These newcomers, these lovely Mauritanians, probably now outnumber the estimated 8,000 foreign-born Mauritanians already living in the U.S., about half of whom are in Ohio.
	So, Ohio is the Mecca for Mauritanians.
	Boy, lucky Ohio.
	By the way, I mention—I say the word Mecca advisedly.
	These are fanatical Muslims.
	This is one of the countries that still practices slavery.
	It's the slightly more lighter-skinned Arab types in the North who enslave the blacks in the South.
	In any case, four months ago, says Omar Ball, who arrived in Ohio from Mauritania in 1997 and recently opened his home to dozens of other new immigrants following the new path, he says, four months ago, it just went crazy.
	Unlike the massive influx of Mauritanians who came in the 1990s as refugees after the Arab-led military government began expelling black citizens, I guess the ones they couldn't enslave, they tried to get rid of, this latest surge is not escaping any natural disaster, coup, or sudden economic collapse.
	They've decided to seek happiness in America.
	Travel agents have leaned into the new trend and have promoted the journey themselves on social media, including packages of flights that follow the new route.
	The American Dream is still available, one TikTok video caption read, along with an image of a Nicaraguan visa.
	This route allows them to avoid the often deadly boat trip across the Mediterranean or across the Channel.
	People are seeing a window of opportunity.
	That's why they are rushing, says Bakari Tandia, a Mauritanian activist living in New York.
	Did you know we have Mauritanian activists living in New York?
	What a country!
	What a country!
	But we have everything here.
	That's why they just want to come.
	In other words, they will leave their own clapped-out country and re-establish it in Ohio.
	In any case, Mr. Kersey, as usual, we've run out of time.
	This is a terrible habit we have.
	So I would like to once again ask our listeners to send us comments, especially corrections, and anything you'd like to tell us to amran.com and click on the contact us tab and you will get a message straight to me.
	Your other option is to Hey, simply send me an email at BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	Once again, that email address is BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	And if any of our listeners are headed to Minneapolis, watch out for Somali warlords.
