Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey shake their heads over gullible whites who buy books that insult their ancestors. The hosts also discuss who supports violence (findings may surprise you), Billy Chemirmir, it takes all sorts, and oases in Chicago’s food deserts.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
Today is September 21st, anno domini, 2023.
And we'd like to start with a few comments from our listeners.
One writes in to say, I work as a court interpreter.
Our local prosecutor was elected in 2016 and has been proud to align himself with Trump on several issues.
He and I have frank conversations about immigration, and he's been proud to work with ICE to deport immigrants who've been convicted of felonies in our jurisdiction.
Bravo!
One of the most recent cases was that of an invader, as he calls him, from El Salvador.
He, his paramour, and their toddler.
Have been in the U.S.
for under one year.
He was arrested and charged with domestic violence a few weeks ago, and as soon as the guilty plea was entered, the prosecutor ordered ICE to begin the deportation process.
However, the state is now helping the victim and her toddler with the dreadful U-Visa.
Mr. Kersey, I'm not sure if you know about U visas.
You probably do because you know everything.
Some of our listeners probably don't.
That is a special visa which can be granted on the spot to people who are here illegally but who are crime victims.
It doesn't make any difference whether the criminal was a fellow illegal immigrant.
Well, she's getting a dreadful uvisa, as our listener explains.
She's also recently discovered she's pregnant again.
So this low-IQ woman with zero skills and no English will now get permanent legal status as a victim of criminal activity.
And she says they should all go back to El Salvador.
They have no claim at all that it's a dangerous place.
The Bukele administration is more than capable of keeping the peace.
And you and I think we've talked about El Salvador.
Done a great job.
Just lock up all the bad guys and things suddenly become safer.
Amazing.
Surprised how that works.
Yes, it's just astonishing.
I mean, I would have never guessed, would you?
Now, here is a listener talking about this rage of stealing Kias and Hyundais.
This is a listener from Baltimore who writes to say, a Hyundai from Hertz with Florida tags was abandoned on our street three weeks ago.
The back right window was broken, as was the steering column, which is how they started the car.
The driver's seat was very close to the steering wheel.
Making the responding officer believe that he was a very young person.
Well, the officer called Hertz, and although the car was two days missing, Hertz did not, of course, know that it was stolen.
The listener says, this happened while we were at church on Sunday morning, and The teen or teens abandoned that stolen car, along with an empty bag of hard candy and bottles of soda, and broke into five more Kias and Hyundais, but got only one started and drove it off.
This Kia Soul, which is a boxy truck model, was abandoned 20 minutes north of here.
So this is life in the big city.
You know, I have never heard of one of these things being stolen in my neighborhood, but I just guess I live in an enchanted part of America.
And then a final comment, and this is directed to you, Mr. Kersey.
Our listener says, Mr. Kersey, on the September 6th episode of the podcast, It was entitled, Ban the ADL.
You mentioned how you can't even imagine using ATMs in the current era.
Well, I love using cash.
And I use ATMs frequently, and I'll have you know that in my 80% non-Hispanic white city of Laramie, within the similarly racially comprised state of Wyoming, it's a non-issue.
I guess using ATMs, and by extension having large amounts of cash on you at all times without fear of being accosted by teens, is yet another symptom of white privilege.
So there you go.
Choose your spot.
Choose your spot, Mr. Kersey, and you can use ATMs with no fear.
I've been to Laramie, Wyoming.
Have you ever been to Wyoming?
No, I never have.
I'd love to go, but I've never been.
It's a proud city that the University of Wyoming is located in, and there is definitely a paucity of black people there.
I bet they feel mighty, mighty bad about that.
Of course, you know, another thing about Laramie, I suspect that there is absolutely no trouble maintaining self-defense.
You can be an armed citizen with no trouble at all.
Of course, it's those places where you have the easiest access to self-defense firearms, where you probably have the least use for them.
But let's see, I just read a really interesting poll.
It was put together by something called the Chicago Project on Security and Threats.
And one of the things that the Chicago Project is particularly concerned about is maintaining and protecting democracy.
Well, listen to this.
6.9% of the adult population believes that violence is justified if that's what it takes to restore Donald Trump to the White House.
Wow.
Yes, 6.9%.
That's quite a few million people.
Now, the press picked this up and just ballyhooed this.
Oh, those bad Trump supporters.
Well, what the press failed to mention, but what was included in this Chicago Project on Security and Threats survey, is that twice the number, or almost twice the number, 11.6% say violence is justified to keep Trump out of the White House.
Wow.
Yes, yes.
We are moving into strange times.
So, rounded, 7% of adults say violence is justified to put him back in.
12% say violence is justified to keep him out.
Now, this is another even larger number.
12.4% say violence is justified to restore abortion rights.
So these lefties, they're pretty frisky when it comes to talking about violence too.
And that is 16% of Democrats say violence is justified to restore abortion.
6% of Republicans, surprisingly enough.
But independents, 14%.
That's a pretty interesting figure.
16% of Democrats say violence is justified so that women can have abortions.
Now, an even larger number, 18.9%.
This is the total population.
I didn't see a Republican versus Democrat breakdown here.
18% say violence is justified to protect the voting rights of minorities.
If you could repeat that number one more time.
18.9%.
19%.
19%.
That's almost one in five say that violence is justified to protect the voting rights of minorities.
And that goes to show you how many people seem to think that they are really genuinely threatened.
This goes to show you how successful the left has been in saying that simply having to produce a picture ID to vote, which is what you have to do to get on an airplane, go into a government building, that is Traveling on the voting rights of minorities, 19% of people in America think violence is justified to protect those rights.
Now, here's another surprising statistic.
54.5% of adult Americans—that's 142 million people—think that elections will not solve America's most fundamental problems.
That's a pretty radical number.
That's 142 million up from 111 million last year.
54.5% of adult Americans say elections won't solve our problem.
Now that's a ringing endorsement of mass democracy, isn't it?
Now, here's another number for you, Mr. Kersey.
As I say, this is a fascinating report. 47.9%.
Oh, say that political elites, both Democrats and Republicans, are the most immoral and corrupt people in America.
Another ringing endorsement for democracy.
And then 57.4%, nearly 60%, say small groups of elites control all levers of power to the disadvantage of ordinary Americans.
52% think Trump is a danger to democracy, but 33% say Biden is.
Now, if it comes to whether violence is justified to coerce Congress, in other words, is violence justified to make Congress vote the way you want it to say, want it to vote?
The figure is 18% of Republicans, 19% of Independents, and 16% of Democrats, for overall 17%.
17% of independents and 16% of Democrats, for overall 17%.
These are pretty radical numbers, Mr. Kersey.
And you know, Democrats, for the most part, get it their way in Congress.
But I guess the fact that a few things have not been going their way, likely.
But again, 18% of Republicans, 19% of Independents, and 16% of Democrats, for an overall average of 17% of Americans, think violence is justified to make Congress vote the way you want it to vote.
Again, kind of speechless.
Those are pretty revealing numbers.
Spooky numbers.
Let's just go back to the first two.
7% of the adult population thinks violence is justified in putting Trump back in the White House.
12% say violence is justified to keep him out.
I guess that assumes no matter what the vote.
Wow.
I still think it's the, I think it's the number you said, almost one in five Americans think violence is justified, what was it, to protect minorities?
To protect the voting rights of minorities.
Voting rights.
Yeah.
But see, this is pretty, this is quite amazing too, that more than half of Americans think elections won't solve our most fundamental problems.
It'd be interesting to know what they think those fundamental problems are.
I guess if half the country thinks that our political elites are the most immoral and corrupt people in America, people are fed up with the country, fed up with the government, fed up with the way things run.
This is eye-opening stuff.
But in terms of violence, You have a story about a different kind of violence.
This is actual violence.
This is in high schools.
So do tell.
You see, I remember before COVID in 2019, there were a number of these shootings at high school football games.
And the videos were always very difficult to watch.
Because you see a football game going on then all of a sudden everybody in the crowd starts to scramble for safety and then the game just stops and it's you talk about spooky.
These are just terrifying videos because I can tell you when I was in high school, we played some inner city teams and my parents would tell me about how much security existed when we played in heavily black areas to protect the cars and those from my high school who were going to watch the games.
And this story resonated with me.
So it's Friday night lights under fire.
High school football games are being blitzed.
By gun violence.
This is from NBC News.
It was a big story on September 16th, just a few days ago.
Gun violence is threatening to dim Friday night lights and endangering a beloved national pastime, high school football games.
This season alone, there have already been at least 16 shootings resulting in two deaths and 13 people wounded at games across the country.
According to the K-12 School Shooting Database, which has been tracking the data since the school shooting in Parkland, Florida back in 2018.
There have been two additional incidents at high school football fields this season, one where a crowd began a stampede after someone flashed a gun, and one where gunfire ended a Pop Warner game.
Now, for those who don't know, who might be listening across the world, outside the U.S., Pop Warner is football for Young boys, you know, probably 7 to 12.
So before you get to middle school.
Wow, 7 to 12 year olds.
And somebody's opening fire at a game like that.
Yeah, they must have got upset about the call or something.
Someone was disrespected.
Quote, I would call it an alarming trend, said David Reedman, a criminologist and founder of the database.
Quote, right now it appears we're on pace with last year when there were at least one shooting at a football game.
Each week on the season.
In quotes.
Each week.
Each week.
Yeah, so most high schools, I believe they still only play 10 games.
I haven't been to a high school football game since, gosh, 2006.
So, 2005, so I couldn't tell you.
Nehoff, I'm sorry, Carissa Nehoff is the executive director of the National Federation of High
School Associations.
She agreed.
Quote, it's been sad to watch.
Horrific.
It's definitely the worst I can remember in 35 years as a teacher, coach, leader in sports.
She said that when her association meets with local sports administration, administrators about boosting security of big games, football in particular, this kind of violence is the elephant in the room.
She says that she's grateful that, so far, none of these shootings have turned into mass casualty events.
I think there's a different elephant in the room.
There's a very different element in the room, because you can actually see, if you click on the story, you get the opportunity to see where these shootings occur.
And this is never mentioned once in the story.
Come on, this is something, it's axiomatic.
We all know what is the underlying Correlation between all of these shootings.
Let's see.
Utica, Lumberton, Baltimore, Port Allen, Louisiana, Fairfield, California, Greenville, Mississippi, Georgetown, South Carolina, Virginia Beach, Virginia.
You know, Jonesboro, Georgia, which is not far.
Actually, that's the shooting occurred on August 18th at a at a At a football stadium, I've played at many times, so that was actually fascinating to see this chart.
Mr. Taylor, every one of these shootings has a black shooter.
Every one of them.
And again, this is the elephant in the room.
This is the ultimate elephant in the room, if you will, that precludes any sort of conversation.
It makes it all mute because it's not, you know, I keep reading, Mr. Taylor, about how the country is increasingly segregated.
More, you know, white communities, you know, they're getting whiter, and the suburbs, and you think about these games, and there's just, there are no shootings at these schools for football games.
But for some reason, there's been 16 shootings, 14 at high schools, and of course two at Pop Warner games.
And this quote is just so silly.
Reidman, who for statistical simplicity defines a high school football season as running from August through November, said violence at the games is not limited to southern and midwestern states, where gun laws tend to be lax.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
As if that had anything to do with it.
Quote, quote.
This happens all the time.
What fools.
He goes, quote, This happens all over the country.
Recently, there were two students who were shot leaving a game in Chicago.
Oh, my God.
Really?
Chicago?
Shoot it?
And then he goes on to say, here's the cap to this story.
Quote, It's almost always a dispute that escalates into violence because somebody has a gun.
What has not happened yet is a planned attack on a high school football game."
Yes, because we get to see a situation where impulse control plus black access to firearms equals a high school football shooting.
And thus... It just equals shooting!
Yeah, of course.
That's the long and the short of it.
Gosh, you know, these, I mean, for heaven's sake, suggesting that somehow it lacks gun laws that make this happen.
Baltimore, Los Angeles, man, you have open carry, right?
Constitutional carry.
Downtown Los Angeles, of course you don't.
Oh, boy.
Well, anyway, okay, I think you have another story, another sort of equally goofy story from a different point of view.
Oh, this is this is one of the goofiest stories I've read and there's a lot to it.
So I'm going to encourage all of our listeners to go to their Google machine and type this in.
So you can read it.
Will weapon detectors at Salt Lake City High Schools disproportionately affect students of color?
Wow.
That's a question with no obvious answer.
I'm going to ponder that.
I'm just going to be worried and wondering about that all night.
This is, uh, this is at ksl.com.
It was posted on September 18th.
So just a few days ago.
And this is one that I had to read a few times.
Cause it's like, wait a second, Salt Lake city.
Gosh, let's, let's get at it.
So, um, I've been in Salt Lake city many times.
It's a gorgeous downtown.
And there's some facts here that I I'm actually shocked by.
Salt Lake City high schools will begin staffing weapon detectors after fall break, but some parents and a few Salt Lake City school board members worried the technology may have an outsized impact on students of color.
BIPOC somehow are gonna be, you know, disparate impact.
They're gonna be disproportionately harmed.
The Salt Lake City School Board recently approved the use of state funds for a one-year contract with security firm Palamerican.
That's kind of a cool name.
To staff machines at East, West, and Highland high schools, as well as the Horizonte Instruction and Training Center, the district's alternative high school.
The costly and controversial measure is still uncommon in the majority of the country's high schools, even as school shootings continue to impact tens of thousands of U.S.
students.
A number of school safety experts warn that security measures like metal detectors are not a safety guarantee and instead can be detrimental to students, especially those from communities of color.
Huh?
Gosh.
I mean, how is it detrimental, I wonder?
Makes them feel bad, huh?
Yeah, I mean, I know you fly a number of times per year, and I think everybody, regardless of color or being a BIPOC, has to go through TSA and has to go through a very invasive security protocol, unless you have TSA pre-check.
So, yeah, I guess maybe there's a way to have some sort of Salt Lake City High School pre-check, where if you're a student of color, you can bypass it.
District spokeswoman Yandere Chatwin, that's a great Mormon name, said the district is including its social-emotional learning team, a team of specialists working in conjunction with school counselors to help students develop social and emotional skills and conversation about the detectors to mitigate the emotional and mental impact the technology may have on students.
What?
I guess they've never flown an airplane.
I guess they've never walked through a metal detector before.
They've got to be trained in how to do this and how to avoid it bruising their little psyches.
If you go to a professional or collegiate sporting event, like college football or college basketball, you're going to walk through a metal detector.
So, quote, here we go.
The only reason that a student will be stopped is if the machine beeps.
That is, independent of what the student looks like, who they are, what gender, what race or ethnicity, in terms of students being targeted more from a particular demographic over another, that won't happen because That won't happen, because it's an objective beat machine that'll be the cause for a stop of any student, Miss Chatwin stated.
You know, it's astonishing that you even have to make that point.
Only two school board members, Ashley Anderson and Mohamed Bayad, voted against the weapon detector's staffing contract.
Each cited concerns about students of color.
Quote, I oppose it because the data shows that this type of hardening offers virtually zero protection against school-based violence, Anderson said.
But what I'm even more worried about is the body of public health and police de-escalation research that shows unsworn officers, like those in the contract with PAL America, risk the escalation of violence, especially Specifically for people of color well now hold on and that means the people who are running the metal detectors They are not sworn officers, and I guess if they find a gun then Something bad might happen, and it'll be their fault isn't that what that means that is that is what they're saying yeah Here's a here's a great quote from Mohammed bad.
He's obviously a direct descendant of Brigham Young or or or John's, yeah, one of the founders of Mormon Church,
quote, our students are already under so much stress.
Walking through a weapon detector is emotionally exhausting.
I'm speaking from my own experiences.
I walk through TSA and I have to prepare myself two days in advance and worry if that weapon detector or that scanner goes off.
And also I'm thinking about the minority kids who come from the refugee world, from places of war, and then they would have to walk in through this.
And if it beeps, it's a nightmare.
I don't know how to explain it to you.
End quote.
He has to prepare himself two days in advance?
I guess he thinks the machines are all racist and gonna go beat no matter what.
They're gonna, they're gonna somehow mysteriously materialize a firearm in his pocket.
That's I guess what he, that's what he believes.
This, this was fascinating to me.
This quote's gonna be interesting.
The Salt Lake City School District has opted to roll out the measure at all high schools, but Innovations Early College High School.
We learned that the school district is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse districts in the state, with a minority student population of 59%.
So only 41% of students enrolled in the Salt Lake City public school system are white.
In high schools, anyway.
Oh, is that the whole system?
It says, it says the Salt Lake City School District.
Wow.
So, yeah, it's the entire school.
Yeah, I guess, you know, Utah, Polynesians, there's a sizable Hispanic population in Salt Lake City.
And then, of course, Samoans and refugees.
The Mormons, unfortunately, are prone to tolerating a significant portion of refugees in their state.
So, it's definitely not the Mormon Church that I, uh, I, uh, loved reading about up until the late seventies when they decided to, uh, get rid of a lot of their views on Africans in America.
Um, so yeah, that's a, that's the story for you.
Welcome to, uh, 2023 Salt Lake City.
It's not, um, it's not the Mormons of old.
No.
Well, weapon detectors, I guess that's just really going to be psychological oppression of the worst kind to our BIPOC fellow citizens.
Well, let's move over to Britain, where a British academic has indulged in a certain amount of fantasy.
Oxbridge Dons have accused a rival scholar of undermining the history of Britain with absolutely no evidence.
In a controversy over claims that a key figure of the Industrial Revolution stole his idea from Jamaican slaves, a leading academic journal has now launched a formal investigation after history lecturer at Cambridge—I'm sorry, I beg your pardon—University College London, a Dr. Jenny Boulstrode, claimed that Henry Court, Who is widely credited with a groundbreaking invention in iron making in 1784 was not, in fact, responsible for the innovation.
Her paper published in the prestigious journal History and Technology said his method for processing scrap iron into high quality wrought iron was, quote, theft from black metallurgists in Jamaica.
And his patent was a false mirror for imperial eyes to picture themselves as they built their institutional lies.
This is an academic journal?
But did they have to walk through metal detectors?
I don't know.
Leading scholars have declared there's absolutely no evidence for the claim.
A Professor Lawrence Goldman, a leading historian at Oxford, Said this lecturer, quote, constructed a storyline that's literally too good to be true, almost a fairy tale.
But it is an emerging scandal that has been more than demolished.
It's a serious, it's serious and evidence of how reason and facts are being suspended in the search for ever more ways to undermine the history of Britain.
Anton Howe is an expert in the history of innovation.
Who has also read this paper said, Bulstrode's narrative requires multiple smoking guns in order to work, none of which is presented.
This should have been picked apart by the journal's peer reviewers.
Back to Professor Goldman, he said he thought the academic, this Bulstrode woman, was a victim of the system which encourages young researchers to choose certain types of subject And in order to stand out in the crowd, reach surprising, even sensational conclusions, regardless of the evidence.
Well, they're not going to stand out in the crowd.
There's going to be part of a lot of them.
I mean, this is really the standard stuff.
He talked about a zeitgeist in which it is the fashion to cast doubt on any accomplishment of Britain or its empire.
Now, I looked up the author, Jenny Bolstrode.
She is badly, badly melanin-deprived, and I suspect she's deeply grieved by this fact.
But she is giving credit where she thinks credit is dear.
You know, it's remarkable to me.
Well, first of all, this sort of foolishness goes on, but I'm very encouraged by how rapidly and strenuously people who actually know something about this have said this is all a lie.
I think that's something of a change.
On the other hand, children may be getting a different story.
Did you know that according to a children's book called Brilliant Black British History by the Nigerian-born author Atinuke He says, every single British person comes from a migrant, but the very first Britons were black.
The book states that Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came.
And during that time, the most famous British monument, Stonehenge, was built.
Therefore, black people built Stonehenge.
What will they think of next, Mr. Kersey?
Wow.
Recent genetics.
Analysis has shown that the inhabitants of Britain in that period when Stone Age was built, which is thought to have been around 2500 BC, were pale-skinned early farmers whose ancestors had spread from Anatolia.
Now, interestingly enough, 2500 BC, that's about the time the Great Pyramid was being built.
But this book, Brilliant Black British History, it goes on to say that in the period of the Tudors and the Stuarts, An incoming black Muslim population brought new knowledge about textiles, medicine, mathematics, and navigation.
It includes a page on Black Lives Matter which states that although race does not scientifically exist, black people suffer institutional racism.
This is for children age seven and above.
Isn't that good to know?
I just want to know if before these BIPOCs have to get to read this book, do they have to go through a metal detector?
Well, that would so traumatize them that they wouldn't have understood a word they were reading, I suspect.
Here's a typical story, typical American-type story here.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Jones, he said he wants to open city-owned groceries to serve neighborhoods that have become food deserts.
After four Walmart stores and Whole Foods stores closed.
Food deserts, here they come.
Johnson announced last week that his administration would partner with the non-profit advocacy group Economic Security Project to put stores in underserved areas of the city.
Republicans are calling this something out of Soviet-style central planning.
Now, as it turns out, Four other Chicago Walmarts are still open in different neighborhoods.
But the chain says that they continue to face the same business difficulties without stating just what those difficulties are.
Walmart had this comment.
Collectively, our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago.
Now, I don't know what that means, collectively.
My guess is that the ones that they've opened in certain neighborhoods are profitable.
But collectively, they're not profitable because the ones that they open in the wrong neighborhoods lose more money than the ones they open in the right neighborhoods make.
But that's just a guess.
Neither Walmart nor Whole Foods disclosed exactly why they suffer continued losses.
Now, once again, elephant in the room?
Elephant, anyone?
Now, the New York Post, in which this article was to be found, speculated that, hmm, maybe it's the shoplifting epidemic that's taking over America.
At least New York Post decided to eat.
At least, think about it.
Anyway, while Chicago is making oases in food deserts, I believe New York City Council is removing monuments to American heroes.
Yeah, you know, it's just so funny.
I was actually reading a story as you were talking about the nonsense in Chicago and you know the the white candidate Vallis Who lost?
It was a very close race and you just think about you think about now the consequences of victory I mean now you've got this racial socialism almost happening in Chicago where the mayor is is You know he's not afraid of siding with criminals basically and a lot of the stories about you know the systemic Problems that black and brown people face because of white privilege there, and I just think back I know we're about to talk about
This story in New York, but elections have consequences and this was a very close race You know in a democracy in a multiracial democracy basically it's a racial headcount when a vote happens and and that's of course what happened and unfortunately now we're also as we go to New York we're seeing the consequences of that problem because The New York Council has advanced a bid that would yank down monuments honoring George Washington Thomas Jefferson And Christopher Columbus.
So, the Democrat-led Council's Cultural Affairs Committee is set to hold a public hearing Tuesday of next week on a proposal to yank artworks from city property dedicated to historical figures such as George Washington, Peter Stuyvesant— Stuyvesant?
Stuyvesant.
I'm sorry.
Reading, trying to enunciate from just looking at the letters cobbled together.
Stuyvesant.
Try it one more time.
That's okay.
Stuyvesant.
Yeah, there you go.
Peter Stuyvesant and Christopher Columbus because of their controversial past.
But critics immediately branded the effort as cancel-cultural-run-amok.
Columbus was a migrant, fumed Angelo Vavola.
President of the Columbus Heritage Coalition.
Is that supposed to be the crushing defense of Christopher Columbus?
What?
Is that the only reason we honored Christopher Columbus?
He was a migrant?
I guess so.
I guess that's... Come on.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I mean, these guys have already given up the fight in advance.
They're trying to defend Columbus because, oh, he was an immigrant, like all these wonderful immigrants coming in now.
What a Italians used to have some backbone, but this guy clearly has nothing at all.
He vowed to fight any attempt to remove monuments of the famous Italian explorer from City Parkland, including the most recognizable statue at Columbus Circle.
Among the council's usual major responsibilities is passing a budget.
The lawmakers approved a spending plan at the end of June, but it's already a disaster, with Mayor Eric Adams ordering city agency cuts because it's potentially out of balance to the tune of billions of dollars, thanks to the migrant crisis, critics note.
The illegal alien crisis is what it is, because our country has a federal government that refuses to do its most basic function, and that is to provide Defense of our borders.
The 51-member council also oversees the operation of city agencies and passing of local regulation and laws that span everything from outdoor dining to zoning matters.
But now the main focus is canceling historical figures.
And it's not an idle threat.
A statue of Thomas Jefferson Was removed from City Hall because he was a slaveholder.
We talked about that story.
The Cultural Affairs Committee's upcoming hearing involves legislation that would require the city's Public Design Commission to publish a plan to remove works of art on Big Apple property, quote, that depict a person who owned and who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery or who participated in a systemic crime against indigenous people or other crimes against humanity."
Now Mr. Taylor, I've got a query for you.
Directly benefited economically from slavery, wouldn't that be all white people?
So just being a white person that has a statue or a picture or a park named after you, by this definition, you know, it's this idea of how the whole concept of reparations Yes.
Unquestionably.
Every white.
Every white.
a punishment, as a castigation of current white people for the horrible legacy of slavery
and what blacks long ago suffered.
Unquestionably.
Every white, every white, you, me, everybody we know, have benefited immensely, incalculably
from all of that free labor that our ancestors benefited from.
Even if your ancestors were not even slaveholders, we all benefited from.
You're absolutely right.
Yeah, if the commission determines the statue or monument honors a person who committed crimes against humanity but votes not to remove the artwork, it would require the city to install an explanatory plaque.
An explanatory plaque, Mr. Taylor, about the misdeeds of the historical figure according to the bill authored by Brooklyn Council on Sanny Nurse and co-sponsored by 16 other lawmakers.
Okay, so this is not yet a bill.
I guess it's just being deliberated now.
It's going to be discussed this upcoming Tuesday.
So you're talking about the 26th.
So I'm sure a lot of eyes will be on it.
Care to make book on whether it will pass?
Knowing that the 51-member City Council is heavily Democrat, I do believe it will pass.
I will say that.
And you know what?
At this point, I don't care.
I think the more that we see of monuments being pulled down, if there is Heartbeat left if there is any semblance of America left still to defend seeing this stuff happen I think you have to see it.
You have to know that that country's gone.
You have to know It's like that story in Birmingham, England where you know, they've torn down so many statues of Brits who had a Who have a legacy or who benefited during the Black Lives Matter stuff.
They just put up a woman of a hijab.
Have you seen this story?
Wait, that was in Bristol, wasn't it?
Was it Bristol or Birmingham?
Well, Bristol was where they pulled down this guy who was, I forgot his name, Colton or something like that, and threw a statue into the river.
I do remember that, that's right.
And then they put up a statue of some black frizzy-haired girl with her fist raised in his place.
Yeah, I mean again, remember that a few years ago they tore down the glorious Robert E. Lee statue in New Orleans and now they've
got a hair pick with a black power fist at the top of it where
you would hold it that they've put up in New Orleans, so I
Kind of you know, it's sad, but you know, this is this is occupied territory
It's not America anymore. And I I will say this. I hope I never have to go to New York City again
When was the last time you were in New York City?
Hmm for about five or six years for sure Yeah, but so that is a main
Proceed. Yeah Is that no? Yeah, there's there's two more things we can
talk about about.
Let's see here.
There are more than half a dozen monuments on city property honoring slaveholder George Washington.
Also including in Washington Square Park and Union Square Park.
The gentleman who has the honor of having the high school, the prestigious high school named after him.
Stuyvesant?
Stuyvesant.
Peter Stuyvesant.
He was a Dutch governor, early New York settler.
And you know what?
Stuyvesant was a slaveholder, Mr. Taylor.
Oh, boy.
That means nothing he ever did.
Can compensate for that?
Nope.
Stuyvesant must be erased.
Other famous slaveholders who have schools in the city named after them include John Jay, John Jay College, and DeWitt Clinton.
There's a DeWitt Clinton High School Columbus while lauded for discovering the new world has been targeted for elimination from the public square for brutalizing native populations during his travels and Monuments of him have been taken down elsewhere even in Columbus, Ohio They took down one of the biggest Columbus statues If you guys haven't seen the image of that or you know I would encourage all of our listeners to Google to see how amazing that statue was and it's no longer in a Columbus, Ohio, so the capital of the great state of Ohio.
So there you go.
There you go.
OK, something to look forward to.
What are they going to change the name of Columbus, Ohio?
I think George Floyd would be a good name for Columbus.
I think, you know, the District of Columbia has to go.
There needs to be a explanatory plaque on the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in D.C.
No, I mean, it's it's it's There's no end to it.
There's no end to it.
Well, there is an end to it, but anyways.
Well, I've got a story about Billy Chamere-Mere.
You probably know exactly who that is.
I do.
I remember when this all started coming out in 2019.
Yes, yes.
Well, Billy, I never realized his middle name is Kip Courier because Billy is a Kenyan immigrant.
At least he was.
And he became famous, moderately famous.
He'd been much more famous if the race has been reversed, but he became famous for targeting people inside their homes or at senior living facilities.
And he would often track his victims and smother them with pillows and then steal their jewelry.
Almost all of his victims were women.
Almost all of his victims were white.
I know of one Asian Black woman, but I haven't made an exhaustive search.
Most of the killer's victims were initially believed to have died of natural causes, despite family members claiming the circumstances of their deaths were odd, and that jewelry had been stolen.
I mean, you'd think that'd be a clue, wouldn't you?
An otherwise perfectly healthy lady suddenly found dead or her jewelry stolen.
Oh!
Natural causes.
It wasn't until a victim survived an attack That police opened the cases and indictments were filed against Billy Kip Correa Chimere.
He was eventually charged with killing 22 North Texas women over two years.
He was found guilty of capital murder and was given life in prison.
It's probably the case that this fellow is the most prolific serial killer in the history of the United States.
There are plenty of other cases in which he was implicated, but they got evidence together on only these 22 cases.
And authorities believe that Shamir Mir Who once worked as a caregiver in one of these senior centers.
He started killing people in 2016, and throughout his trial, he maintained his innocence, repeatedly saying he was not a killer, not at all the person they're saying I am.
Well, the reason he's back in the news is that day before yesterday, he was killed by a fellow inmate.
In the Caulfield Unit in Tennessee Colony, Anderson County, Texas.
And I can't say that I'm shedding a single tear for Billy Kip Correa's Chamir Mir.
That sounds like a poem, doesn't it?
Are we leaving out an important story that he, that there was a black judge that refused to, or was it, was it a hung jury?
I can't remember what happened.
Something happened in regards to to that case that was fascinating because I know that yeah It's it's worth looking at especially with what just happened on in Florida where a black a black guy who was a member of a black power organization he executed a cop and three three jurors actually refused to to go for yeah, yeah, so I No, I don't remember that.
It's entirely possible that a black judge says, no, a strong black man is being persecuted by the system and accusing him of killing 22 white women.
Can't be.
Can't be.
Well, these stories, I would say, sort of go into the, it takes all sorts department.
And it truly do take all sorts.
In Brazil, the Santo Amaro University women's volleyball team had just won an important match.
A group of male medical students was spotted on the sidelines with their pants down to their ankles as the team began to celebrate its victory.
The men then, stripped completely naked, rushed on the court all at once and paraded around the gym as they fondled their genitals.
Now, they were all very heavily melanin-enhanced, to the point I wonder if they might not be African exchange students.
Well, they do say medical students are under a lot of stress, they have so much to learn, so I guess that was the problem.
In any case, video has just circulated, begun to circulate, all pixelated out, of course, and Santo Amaro University announced that it has expelled six of these students.
And from the looks of the photos, there must have been at least a score of them.
But again, I say this is sort of the it-takes-all-sorts department of the Radio Renaissance podcast.
Now here's another it-takes-all-sorts.
Again, we have an all-black cast.
This is a Texas woman who had just last year been named Rookie Teacher of the Year, was shot dead along with her dog while she was saving her friend from a domestic disturbance.
Shantavia Reddick, age 26, went to her friend's home Saturday morning to intervene in an ongoing domestic disturbance when she was shot multiple times by her friend's boyfriend.
The boyfriend also shot her dog dead.
The girlfriend was uninjured.
Well, the boyfriend, his name was Dimitri Humphrey, odd name for an African-American, or maybe he's not American, but he certainly looks African in one sort or another.
He showed up 10 days later in a park, state troopers and three Houston PD deputies made a plan to take him into custody.
But when they approached, he took off running.
And as he was running, he pulled out a gun and started shooting wildly at the officers who were chasing him.
This was in a park with lots of people there.
Very dangerous situation.
So the officers all opened fire, perforated him.
And I would call this a happy ending to be sure.
But before he died, He actually managed to run into a nearby house where he collapsed and died.
Now, I'm very glad he won't have to be housed or fed by the Houston authorities.
The article doesn't say into whose house he ran, but Mr. Kersey, imagine this.
Say you left the door unlocked into your house and a guy comes barging in full of bullet holes and bleeds out on your Persian carpet.
These are strange times in which we live.
Strange times indeed.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you had said something about the problems that cities are having with all of these illegals barging across the border.
Now, as it turns out, illegal crossings of the U.S.-Mexico border spiked this month in September with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection encountering far more migrants every day than during the summer months.
Border officials encountered more than 7,500 illegals on just last Sunday alone.
How many?
7,500.
In just one day.
Border crossings have risen week after week through September following a summer low.
Although, and I should have remembered this because we talked about it, the traffic is still below May's record of 10,000 per day.
10,000 illegal—that's like an invading army.
10,000 a day?
Gosh, what was the size of Lee's army at Gettysburg?
40,000?
50,000?
Yeah, it's not— I don't know.
Nowhere near what a month of, what, 300,000?
Yes, that's right.
Well, President Biden's administration had touted the summer's lower numbers as proof that its border policies were working.
Of course, all that was proof of was that hot weather was working.
And Sunday's 7,500 came after July's on average of 4,300 daily crossings.
That's apparently a huge triumph for Joe Biden.
And the GOP, I'm sorry, the government press release says this.
Listen carefully, ladies and gentlemen.
CPP is working according to plan to safely and efficiently screen and process migrants to place them in immigration enforcement proceedings consistent with our laws.
It's working according to plan to efficiently screen and process migrants.
Yep, about 10,000 a day.
Hey, that's what we're here to do.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I thought I would tell you about a conversation I had day before yesterday.
I was at a little gathering and I met somebody who works for the Department of Justice.
And I said, well, which part of the Department of Justice?
He said that he works with the appellate division of the immigration court system.
And I said, well, that's very interesting.
What's the backlog at the appellate level?
I won't even make a guess.
At the appellate level, Mr. Kersey, these are people who have already gone through the system.
There is a backlog of 100,000.
100,000 people, and that's just the appellate?
That's the appellate level.
And at the original trial stage, there are 2 million.
2 million.
Cases backlogged.
I mean, let's just admit, this is, it's silly even to try.
Why do they even try?
Two million people.
He says you find people at the appellate level who have been appealing a deportation order for 10 years.
This can go on for 10 years, even if at the trial level, the judge says, out.
You can keep fighting.
Another thing he said that was fascinating to me, he says, I said, well, gosh, are these people all represented by the ACLU?
The ACLU have that many lawyers?
He says, no, a lot of these people are pro se.
That is to say, they are defending themselves and they get special sympathy, special attention and special consideration because they are pro se.
They could even have some brainy lawyer advising them in the background, but if they show up by themselves and they say, well, Your Honor, poor me.
I deserve to stay.
They get special consideration because they are poor.
But remember, at the appellate level in immigration courts, A backlog of 100,000.
And I'm sure it's growing all the time.
And at the trial level, 2 million.
As I say, they might as well just throw the system away.
Give up.
This is not going to work.
And these 10,000 a day who are coming in, they're all going to add to the ordinary case.
They're all claiming asylum.
And all these cases have got to be theoretically adjudicated.
What a joke.
What an absolute spectacular joke.
It really makes you want to Renounced citizenship.
Good.
No, don't say that.
Don't say that.
It's what it really does.
I mean again, we've talked about The statues of Washington and Jefferson and Columbus and Stuyvesant coming down.
Did I get that right that time?
About fifth times the charm.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you talk about you talk about the metal detectors somehow harming BIPOC's fragile emotions and I mean look things are insane and there's there's only one solution and that's to admit that this that we've that the you know turning the country over to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and pretending that our country wasn't founded for for for white and our posterity it's it's really that simple and when you when you accept that fact you realize just as
You said, how will this end?
And it won't.
It's gone crazy.
It's gone crazy.
And meanwhile, as all these people pile in, 10,000 a day, 10,000 a day, as you say, 300,000 a month.
Hey, why not?
You know, why not a million a month?
Come one, come all.
It's not just New York City.
New York City's in the news with all of these illegals sleeping in the streets.
Chicago's kind of having a tough time, too.
It figures it's going to cost about $225 million to feed, house, clothe, and try to medicate all these losers.
And Chicago, it bars local and state law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
It's a sanctuary city.
And as Mayor Brandon Johnson, whom you mentioned just before, as he explained on his campaign website, he says, Chicago is a sanctuary city.
As such, we must always resist attempts to pit communities against each other and extend this sanctuary promise to everyone who needs it.
We're not going to pit communities against each other.
No, nothing like committing pitting citizens against invaders, law-abiding people against criminals.
No, no, no.
Can't pit them against each other.
And back down in Texas, Governor Greg Abbott, he has bussed over 35,000 migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities.
That's only three and a half days worth of crop.
And while officials in those cities have blamed Abbott's bussing for the crisis, It appears that they account for only a small number of the illegals who are pouring in.
Many of them are turning up all by themselves.
They know what sanctuary city means.
And in this article, there was a photograph of recently arrived migrants, as they call them, on cots and on the floor of a makeshift shelter operated by the city of Chicago at O'Hare International Airport.
I don't know where they got this part of the terminal, but it's a huge area.
And it looks like the kind of thing you would see after some horrible disaster.
As far as the eye can see, people sleeping on the floor, on cots, tarpaulins, everywhere.
This is how Chicago gets to handle all of these newcomers.
And this article happened to mention Denver.
I don't see Denver too much in the news for having to deal with illegals, but it's got a whole bunch of them, and they are shelling out approximately $1,000 per migrant per week.
It's not bad.
$1,000.
$1,000 per market per week.
That's probably a lot cheaper.
They get their newcomers at a bargain compared to New York City.
I believe it costs them $200 or $300 a day.
Which is a lot more than a thousand a week.
But, you know, it's just funny money.
It's just coming out of the pocket of white taxpayers.
For who?
So who cares?
Well, Mr. Kersey, we are, as usual, running out of time.
Boy, oh boy.
And you had some great phony tales of racism that you were going to tell us, but maybe you can save them.
We can save it till next week, you know, and there is one that, you know, I know you don't watch college football, but there is a fascinating story happening in Boulder, Colorado, that is, it's almost nauseating.
We can save them, so.
Well, yes, we never run out of stories, that's a problem.
Our time runneth under, our stories runneth over, but let us make sure to tell our listeners how to get in touch with us, because we really do love hearing from you, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
And we love it when you explain we got something wrong.
That's best, because I hate the idea that we say something that's wrong and it goes out over the air, and all of our hundreds and millions and billions of listeners and admirers all around the world get wrong information.
So we like to correct that.
So if we said something wrong, please let us know.
Call stories to our attention.
Tell us what you'd like to hear about.
And the best way to do it is go to amren.com.
A-M-R-E-N.com.
and go to the contact us page.
Yes, I had an excessively long dramatic pause.
That was a long pause.
I was sitting there thinking, what's Taylor up to?
Intro, here we go.
Yes, and the other way to do it.
Yeah, I'm gonna get it right this time.
Because we live here at Proton.me.
So ProtonMail has actually tried to shrink their, the ProtonMail email.
So once again, it's really simple.
Because we live here at Proton.me.
Does that mean that your old address of ProtonMail.com doesn't work anymore?
It does work.
It actually, it does work.
It just points to Proton.
It just points to because we live here at Proton.me.
They just wanted to shrink it so it was easier to type as opposed to ProtonMail.com.
Isn't that interesting.
So there are two variants on a ProtonMail email address.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Well, Mr. Kersey, It is always a pleasure and honor to have you by my side, but it's even more of a pleasure and honor to spend this time with our listeners all around the world.
We really do appreciate hearing from you, and we look forward to spending this time together with you again next week.
