Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor.
And with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
Today is October 19th, Anno Domini, 2023.
And as usual, we start with comments from listeners.
Here's one who writes in to say, On National Review's website, October 15th, is an article by Andre Archie called, Kendiism is a Dead End.
Let's Return to Colorblindness.
This is the second black writer that National Review publishes to comment on racial matters.
I haven't read Mr. Archie before, but I have read Wilford Riley.
I find it curious that N.R.
has black writers to write about racial matters.
Similarly, the Wall Street Journal has Jason Reilly.
I like both Reilly and Reilly.
They write clearly and reasonably.
But isn't it curious that these two conservative organs hire black writers to tell us about race?
Are white people not confident of their right to an opinion and want to shield themselves from the responsibility of dealing with racial questions forthrightly?
is the question that's on the mind of our listener, and I'd say the answer to that question is a resounding yes.
And I'd also say so-called conservatives are the worst.
Liberals and crazy progressives never hesitate to talk about race in the most forthright terms, but I don't think we have that problem on this podcast, Mr. Kersey.
I think you and I both deal with, quote, racial questions forthrightly.
And head on.
Yes, we will continue to do so, ladies and gentlemen.
Here is another comment.
I know you have spoken in an AMRAN podcast about a certain demographic group living in this country with the constant chirp of a smoke detector telling you it needs a new battery.
I've done a deep dive into the topic and have unearthed many interesting resources and examples of this phenomenon.
I've compiled the best findings into a video.
It even includes a few words from one of your July podcasts.
I'm deeply honored.
I would especially like to call your attention to the segment on the pizza delivery man who tells about entering an entire building complex full of chirping.
Every apartment seems to have its own little ghetto lullaby going on.
Well, and I would tell our listeners, I've looked at this video.
It's very amusing.
You can find it by searching for—I think this must be a deliberate misspelling, but it's Chocking Revelation, C-H-O-C-K-I-N-G, Revelation of Smoke Detector.
Once again, Chalking, C-H-O-C-K-I-N-G, Revelation of Smoke Detector.
And you will go right to one of the platforms on which this video can be found.
Very amusing and entertaining.
Now, Mr. Kersey, we don't want to spend a lot of time on what's going on in the Middle East, but I will mention something about what's going on there because it pertains to us.
As we all know, every time something bad happens, any place in the world, say it's an earthquake in Haiti, or a political upheaval in Guatemala, or we invade someplace, we end up with thousands of people from those places.
It's just like clockwork.
But I'm glad to say that there are House Republicans who have noticed this pattern, and they're moving to introduce legislation to block the United States from accepting any new Palestine refugees Who may emerge from the current crisis in Gaza.
More than a million such refugees could be created as Israel continues its bombardment of the Hamas-controlled enclave, which is one of the most densely populated regions in the world.
I believe there are two million people there.
And the median age there is 18.
So a lot of young folks.
As it turns out, Republican representatives Tom Tiffany and Andy Olds say they plan immediately to introduce legislation that would ban any kind of visa granted to a Palestinian passport holder, and they would also prevent the Biden administration from doing one of these sort of shell games in which they offer parole
We can't let President Biden abuse our parole and visa rules to bring unvetted Palestinians into American communities the way he did with thousands of unvetted Afghans, says Representative Tiffany.
And this, of course, is necessary because we have had some far lefty types like New York Rep Jamal Bowman and allies.
They're already saying the United States should take refugees from Gaza.
Meanwhile, and I think this is significant, Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who is running in the Republican presidential primary, is backtracking about suggesting support for resettling Palestinians.
She doesn't sound like a very staunch Republican to me.
On October 15th, she told CNN, there are so many of these people who want to be free.
And America has always been sympathetic to the fact that you can separate civilians from terrorists.
Can we really do that, Mr. Kersey?
Separate civilians from terrorists?
I don't think any government in the world, when you're talking about thousands, hundreds of thousands of civilians, how do you separate civilians, thousands of Muslims, how do you separate civilians from terrorists?
In any case, she thinks we can't.
But the following day, A spokesperson for Nikki Haley's campaign said that she opposes taking Gazans and said she backs a plan to keep the Palestinians right where they are, or at least in the region.
Now, it's interesting to note that just three days after the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, that was the Bataclan Massacre and the Stade de France Massacre, when seven Islamic terrorists, among them Syrians, killed 130 people.
Haley was one of only nine Republican governors who continued supporting President Obama's plan to resettle Syrian refugees in the United States.
So this all sounds mighty squirrely to me, Nikki, baby.
You need to keep an eye on flip-floppers like her.
There are already more Palestinians in the country than we need.
There are no fewer than 170,000 Palestinians.
We're not the Gaza Strip yet, but we're getting there.
Well, and it was concentration.
We saw all the support Massive yes protests arise.
Mr. Taylor.
I mean, goodness gracious, pro-Palestinians took over the capital on 10-18.
Are we going to talk about that or?
Well, the strange thing is that was a Jewish group.
There were lots of Jews.
Yes, all these young Jews have been told that Israel is this settler colonizing state, it's an apartheid state, and that everything that the Palestinians do, even if it involves atrocities, is entirely justified because they are throwing off colonist oppression.
So, things would not have been that way 20 years ago.
Things are moving in a very strange direction.
American Jews, I suspect, are a little bit disturbed by the new forms of diversity that we are enjoying in this country.
Agreed.
Now, here's a little bit more Palestine fallout, and then we'll move on to domestic matters.
Foreign students, academics, and workers who commit anti-Semitic acts or praise Hamas Face being expelled from Britain under plans being drawn up by the Home Office.
Robert Jenrick, immigration minister, has commissioned officials in the department to consider how they could revoke visas on national security grounds.
It follows a similar move by Gerald Darmanin, France's interior minister, who has ordered that all foreigners who commit anti-Semitic acts be expelled.
Three have been already kicked out, And vice chancellors of universities in Britain have already been warned.
They're telling their students they face criminal investigations if they express support for Hamas following the incursion.
Boy, that's sure a clamp down on free speech.
If those in the UK on visas behave in this manner, it's clearly conducive to the public good that they have their visa revoked and be removed.
It's important that the British Jewish community know they are protected.
Thus saith Robert Jenrick, Immigration Minister.
And Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, has already urged police to take a zero-tolerance approach and prosecute anti-Semitic displays of support for Hamas.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I think that's all very well and good.
But what about anti-British displays?
Anti-French displays?
We get those.
We get those every day.
I really don't quite understand this.
I mean, all right, but the real issue is there just shouldn't be any Muslims in any European country.
But it seems very strange to me that after all of the deliberately, provocatively, sometimes obscenely anti-French behavior, anti-English behavior, anti-British behavior, anti-Christian behavior, now that people are supporting Hamas, they're going to be thrown out.
A first step is better than no step at all.
Well, Mr. Kersey?
Well, and of course, you're still banned from England, so... I am!
I'm more dangerous than... You're more dangerous than the Saracens!
You're far more dangerous than the Saracens.
No, this whole episode has really been insane, Mr. Taylor.
Just let's put a bow in this conversation real quick, because we have seen these massive protests all across Europe and Dearborn, Michigan, and places, and you're looking at this, it's like, wait a second, you know, after 9-11, shouldn't all Muslim immigration have been stopped and instead we now have we know it's it's it's not only not stop but it's increased and we're just seeing these enclaves and you're right I mean it's I you know Israel is a country that
I wish there was a white equivalent of Israel in a lot of ways.
It's a homeland.
It is a homeland.
It's a homeland for the Jewish people.
And I will say this, and I'm not afraid to say this, if I were Jewish, I would be in Israel.
But I'm not.
So I think the ultimate point is we're going to be entering some very interesting things are happening because the colonization of Europe by Muslims has let in this this third rail and you already saw that the United Kingdom wouldn't agree with this with this statement in regards to the situation between Uh, Israel and Hamas and what's going on in the Gaza Strip.
So that's what happened.
What statement, what statement did they, I mean, you're talking about this.
There was a state, I can't remember if it was the United Nations, Mr. Taylor, or what it was, but basically England, I mean, London is what, 43% white.
And have you seen some of these, these video of the marches that are going on all across England in support of the Palestinian people?
It's just, I don't know.
So much is happening, but this is just such a shock in regards to what happened in Israel.
After a thousand years, really, 732 Battle of Hastings, and that was when the Muslims were finally turned back at Poitiers in France.
And what was it?
1683 was the siege of Vienna.
During that period of a thousand years, Muslims have been the hereditary and most determined enemy of the West.
What folly it was to let even one of them into the West in any Christian or white country.
Crazy.
Now we're paying the price of this gorgeous mosaic of diversity, which is supposed to make us strong, our greatest strength of all.
But let us move along to a different story, a story about a wall And the wall came tumbling down.
Uh, this is a story that, that, uh, Mr. Taylor and I missed, and I thought we should bring it up because, uh, you know, walls are, walls are interesting.
Uh, the history of walls is kind of the history of civilization, but this is a story from April 11th, 2023.
Racist spite wall torn down at Morgan State University.
Now, Morgan State University, ladies and gentlemen, is located in Baltimore.
It's a historically black college and university.
Let's get to the story.
The spite wall at Morgan State University has been torn down.
The brick wall at the old Northwood Plaza Shopping Center represents a sad chapter in the history of Morgan State.
It once segregated black and white communities.
President of Morgan State, David Wilson, was happy to see it crumble.
Quote, in 1939, the neighbors started building what was labeled a spite wall, a hate wall, to prevent Morgan State students from simply walking across the street into the all-white neighborhood and to shop at an all-white shopping center here, Wilson said.
Since then, Morgan State has made its presence known on the grounds of the old shopping plaza.
Among the additions is a new school of business.
Quote, these same grounds are the grounds that students like them protested on.
They said, I don't care how many walls you build.
We're going to come over here and we're going to sit in these establishments and you are going to serve us and we are not going to leave until that happens, Wilson said.
Now a new story is being told by the University and the community located on the other side of the spite wall.
President of the Hillen Road Improvement Association, Bridget Neal, won't miss the wall either.
Quote, we're definitely excited and finally glad to see this wall come down.
It has held us apart from each other for years, unnecessarily, so we are glad to see our homes be embraced by Morgan State.
And again, we are just over the moon about it, Neal said.
Morgan's school over the moon over the moon Morgan's School of Architecture and Planning will use what's left of the wall as a teaching and learning tool for students Kim McCullough is the vice president of design and construction management at the school quote our Morgan wall will basically go to the perimeter of the site leaving wide openings to get into the shopping center and just continuing to give a sense of place and a sense of security McCullough said A portion of the Spite Wall will remain up and at some point it will become a university park, a reminder of what took place and what was started, Mr. Taylor, back in the dark ages of 1939.
Like souvenir pieces of the Berlin Wall, I guess.
People can remember just how bad things were.
Well, now that story is from April, Mr. Kersey?
That's from April 11th, 2023.
For all of our listeners, you can actually look at video of the wall being torn down if you put it into your Google machine.
Well, how quickly things change.
A story just this week.
Oh!
Yes, a wall will be constructed around the Morgan State University after five people, including four students, were shot at the Baltimore campus last week.
A quick reversal.
What's the date of this story?
This story is just last week.
Yeah.
So, from April to October, they've had a sudden policy change.
I hope they haven't torn down all that wall.
Or maybe the pieces that were left, they better add on to them.
But they're going to build a new wall.
This very same president, David Wilson, he announced the college would be investing $22 million.
Including the construction of an 8,000 foot long barrier to eliminate unfettered access to the school.
I thought that's what they wanted.
I thought they wanted unfettered access everywhere.
People were over the moon.
I guess this poor lady is going to be back under the moon.
Morgan State officials touted plans to install more metal detectors, more police patrols, and more security guard booths.
And about that recent shooting.
The coronation ceremony for the school's Mr. and Miss Morgan State was disrupted.
The shooting, which took place during Homecoming Week, left four students wounded, with the shooters still on the loose.
Well, Mr. Kersey, we can't have gunfire disrupting a coronation, can we?
After all, we was Kangs!
We got to go on with traditions that are thousands of years old, so we could build a wall.
Baltimore police have released surveillance footage of the four suspects, not one wearing a MAGA hat.
Oh, dear.
And last week's shooting was not the first time violence erupted during Morgan State's homecoming celebrations.
Last year, a man was shot during an unsanctioned after party on campus.
And the year before that, a freshman was arrested and charged with shooting a classmate over the homecoming weekend.
Homecoming seems to be a mighty frisky time at Morgan State.
But about that wall, the old wall, what happened to all those racist white neighbors from 1939?
I'm very curious to know, yeah.
Well, the brothers and the sisters must have run them all off because I just checked a demographic map of Baltimore.
The university is smack in the middle of a part of town that is over 65% black, and on that map, That is the highest the scale goes.
Everything over 65%.
It doesn't have a color for 95%.
What's the real figure?
I don't know.
85?
90%?
This is such a beautiful irony.
If that story really is true about the old wall, by the way, who knows?
People are always cooking up this stuff to prove how racist white people are.
But Morgan State is either walled in or walled out.
In either case, someone is trying to get away from black people.
Boy, oh boy.
Well, I hope they did not tear down the whole wall so they can recycle parts of it.
Now they can keep the black folks out, even if it was true that in 1939 other people wanted to keep the black folks out.
Whichever way it happens, Oh, dear.
But the beautiful irony of this has not escaped us.
No, it hasn't escaped us.
And ladies and gentlemen who are listening to the story, I mean, Baltimore is about 60, 63 percent black, I believe, in the last census, about 27 percent white.
It's a very segregated city.
Virtually none of the city is really safe anymore.
Maybe Federal Hill and the Inner Harbor, which are tourist areas where, of course, you actually know that Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem while watching the city being bombed.
And it's just so fascinating because Baltimore offers just so many, so many stories.
And this one, this is one of the funniest stories I've ever heard in my life.
This is pretty funny.
You're separated by six months, where we're celebrating the tearing down of the spite wall.
I mean, come on!
The hate wall!
It's torn down, the spite wall is torn down, and now, because a white community wanted to keep blacks out, and now they're spending $22 million with a lot of that allocated to building a wall to keep blacks out of a historically black college!
That's right.
I mean, come on!
That's right.
Strange.
Is this what a hate wall, too?
Why not?
Why isn't this a hate wall, too?
I guess because both people on both sides of the wall are black.
I wonder if this wall is going to pass the brown paper bag test.
No, I'm joking.
That's terrible.
Yes.
Well, here's a completely different story.
And it has to do with Robert Kennedy.
who was running for the Democratic nomination for president, and it looks like he's going
to go third party or some other part in any case.
But here's something to think about him.
I know that some people are tempted by him and attracted him, but he now supports reparations.
He says that federal tax dollars should go to, quote, rebuild black infrastructure like
banks and businesses.
He supports direct redress payments or tax credits, but he doesn't want blanket cash giveaways.
He says during Jim Crow, black banks, businesses, hospitals, schools and firms were targeted for destructions.
Racists knew that without these, the black community had no chance of building wealth.
We must set federal dollars aside to rebuild black infrastructure.
So watch out, folks, if you're tempted by this guy.
He has not got the right idea about reparations.
He has also, once upon a time, I found him saying that rich countries should give poor countries money, no strings attached, that they can spend on dealing with the effects of climate change.
That's our fault, too.
So keep an eye on Robert Kennedy.
Yeah, you know, obviously A.R.
doesn't endorse candidates, but has anything ever good come out of Camelot, of this Kennedy family?
I mean, I've never understood any of the appeal of JFK or this nostalgia for these individuals.
And, you know, because during the Kennedy administration back from 61 to 63, he was pressuring NASA to get a black astronaut because he said that NASA was too white and that that wasn't a good thing to put out there for a country that was beginning to see so much racial violence.
And they thought that having a black astronaut would be would be a positive step forward.
His name is Ed Dwight, by the way.
Even in the early 60s, Kennedy was screaming for a black astronaut.
There were members of his administration, yes, it didn't matter.
And I know we're going to talk about a story that's somewhat tangentially related to that here in a few minutes.
But I just I don't understand any of the appeal of Robert Kennedy or this lore and this and this desire to lionize the Kennedy family.
So sorry, anyone out there who loves the Camelot myth.
I do not share in your well and your joy of it.
Let us shift from Camelot to the current occupant of the White House.
We'll all be glad to hear that the president of the free world, Joe Biden, celebrated George Floyd's birthday in absentia, mind you, just on October 14th.
The dear boy would have been 50 years old with at least 20 more years of public service ahead of him.
Mr. Biden put it this way.
I wonder if they sang happy birthday.
Mr. Biden put it this way.
Today we join his family to honor his life and legacy.
His life and legacy.
Wow.
I guess he is one of the most important petty criminals in the history of the world.
We remember the tragedy and injustice of his death that sparked one of the largest civil rights movements in our nation's history and inspired the world.
How many billions of dollars of destruction did it inspire?
Wow.
I think 30 states called out the National Guard, 300 cities had to issue curfews, and Mr. Biden is celebrating.
Gee, he says George Floyd's murder exposed for many what black and brown communities have long known and experienced that our nation has never lived up to its highest ideals.
Wow, he did it single-handedly, George Floyd did.
The day before her father's funeral, his young daughter Gianna told me—this is back to Joe Biden speaking—Daddy changed the world.
Three years later, my answer to Gianna remains the same.
I guess Gianna was right there, probably in his very arms.
In between sniffs at her hair, he told her, yes, he has changed the world.
Well, is George Floyd on a postage stamp yet?
I'm waiting for the Catholic Church to declare George Floyd feast today.
And you know, I think there should be a statue of him in the Capitol Rotunda, but I'm just not sure what state he'd represent.
Texas, right?
Texas, I guess, but he was living in Minnesota at the time.
They'd probably fight tooth and nail over the right to have him represent them.
But there is, of course, one of the days we talk about and almost every year celebrate, Annual Ahmaud Arbery Day in Georgia.
February 23?
Yes, February 23.
It celebrates its most famous petty criminal.
I think every state should dig up its most famous black petty criminal and establish a day in its memory.
But of course, we could have another black-themed national holiday.
We could call it Floyd Arbery Day, just to make everybody happy.
But apparently there is unhappiness in the Marine Corps.
You know, before you go there, before you go there, I just I'm laughing so hard inside because
you could easily come up with the most recognizable black petty criminal from all 50 states,
even Idaho, even Montana, even Wyoming, even Alaska, even New Hampshire, even Maine,
even Vermont, the White Estates, even Utah.
You know, we all know Rodney King would be California, but wow, that would be a fun thing.
And this is a great quick segue to ask our audience.
Who they would nominate for which state?
Well, um, we know who'd be Missouri's most famous petty criminal.
Yes.
Trayvon Martin is Florida and Michael, uh, Michael Brown is Missouri.
Missouri, Missouri.
Yes.
Every state, every state's got its hero.
They should replace all the state flags because there are so many state flags that are either connected to the Confederacy, Mr. Taylor, or they have, Or they celebrate colonizers, white people defeating Amerindians.
So there's a couple ways to get in touch with us.
So you can nominate your state's most significant black petty criminal.
So we can put together this list.

I'm sorry.
We love, we love, we need to be collected.
Monkeys fall from trees.
Monkeys fall from trees.
Yes.
This monkey is pretty battered these days from falling out of trees.
So yes.
So how about diversity, diversity in the Marine Corps?
You know, uh, this story is in the Washington Post and Mr. Taylor, I just saw this incredible graph that shows the way that the term white supremacy has increased in newspapers.
And what do you suppose is the newspaper that leads the way with the word white or with the two words white supremacy combined?
Is it the Post?
I would guess it's either the Post or the New York Times.
I mean, they would be neck and neck in my and my betting order.
It's an astonishing graph.
It is the Washington Post since 2014, since the birth of Black Lives Matter with Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.
It's just astonishing to see the rate in which the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times utilize this term.
And even the Wall Street Journal is well above right now the average of where the term white supremacy was found.
And all those newspapers back in, back when 24, back when, uh, back when the Michael Brown situation happened in Ferguson, Missouri.
You know, even, even, oh, white supremacy was for years just a historical term.
Nobody talked about white supremacy in America today.
That was the language people used to talk about colonization of Africa, or Jim Crow, or slavery.
But now, everything is white supremacist.
It used to be racist.
Now, racism, of course, is a word that has lost all its meaning.
It has no sting.
Every time we breathe in and out, that's racist.
Every time we lift a muscle, that's racist.
So they got up the ante and called it white supremacist.
I wonder what the next one will be.
They'll have to come up with something once everybody accepts, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're white supremacists.
Come on, think of something better.
Think of something that really stings.
But yes, you're right.
But I do want to get to this Marine Corps story.
Yeah, and this story falls into that rubric.
Behind closed doors, Marines struggle with a glaring diversity problem.
There you go, Mr. Taylor.
The Washington Post has framed a story with too many whites as being a problem.
Well, does it use the word, does it use the word white supremacy, though?
We'll see.
It does not use the term, yeah.
It doesn't?
Okay.
Okay.
Maybe it won't, actually, I'll look.
Actually, one of my eyes is incredibly irritated right now, so I might have a little trouble reading this.
Excuse me, dear listener.
Zach Mullins was used to walking into rooms filled with white vases.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the opening line to this above-the-fold story, by the way.
But he was taken aback when, at an air show last year in San Diego, a man approached to ask, did you know that you're the only black fighter pilot in the Marine Corps?
Mullins, who flies F-18 Hornets, the F-18 Hornet, is one of five, in fact.
So he's 20% of the black fighter.
So there's five.
It wasn't just five.
Okay, this guy got it wrong.
There's four more.
But in recalling the exchange, he said, I never really thought about the numbers just because it was a job that I wanted to do.
Though it was a little staggering, the Marine captain conceded to learn the number of African Americans in elite jobs like his was so small.
God, how in the world has our country been protected for so many years when our Our Air Force F-18 fleet is, you know, piloted by so few black pilots.
The Marine Corps, in step with the rest of the U.S.
military, has spent decades making a concerted push to become more reflective of the diverse nation it defends.
Officials point to sustained gains in recruiting women to join the force and in growing overall diversity among the service's officer ranks.
How about blind pilots?
Crippled pilots?
Lesbian pilots?
Pregnant pilots?
We want diversity!
Transgender pilots!
Yeah!
Why, Trump banned transgenders back in the dark days of his presidency, as so many people would say, but you're right.
The most important priority is black pilots, melanin-enhanced aviators.
But within the community of fighter pilots, these efforts have failed to keep pace.
And while leaders acknowledge they have work to do, observers say the institution appears unwilling to take the aggressive and resource-intensive steps that experts deem necessary to put black candidates for those jobs on more equal footing with their white peers.
Could you read that again?
What's needed here?
I'm going to read this again.
Observer SIG, the institution, quote, appears unwilling to take the aggressive and resource intensive steps that experts deem necessary to put black candidates for those jobs on more equal footing with their white peers.
Mr. Taylor, I read that, the way that I interpret that very aggressive and malevolent idea, just make it illegal for whites to be F-18 pilots, fighter pilots.
Isn't that the most aggressive step?
That'd be pretty aggressive.
Are the experts calling for that?
Probably not yet, but this is just nuts.
If they are good at flying jet aircraft and they want to do it, Give them the job, of course, but no, that's not good enough.
We've got to be resource intensive and aggressive about going out and twisting the arms of these black people who probably don't want to fire airplanes, don't want to be in fighter pilots and make them do it.
What is going on here?
But I'm sorry.
It's a very, I'm going to use the word again.
It is, I was in the Air Force ROTC at the school that I went to.
In fact, I was on scholarship.
And I wanted to be a fire pilot.
I broke my ankle really bad.
And I still have the rod, plate and screws.
So I was not able to go that route.
I was asked if I wanted to stay on, become an officer, go through OCS.
And didn't graduate and potentially do Air Force Combat Control, which is their equivalent of the Special Forces, which is very difficult.
A number of the guys that I was in Detachment 5 with actually went on to be combat controllers.
And I cannot tell you how many of my friends, both in high school, who went to the Air Force Academy or who went to ROTC programs across the country, uh, became fighter pilots and, um, whether it was national
guard or whatever, and it is a very rigorous and intense process to
go through the training and it is, it is, it is, it is, um, it is.
It is not for the faint of heart.
And, you know, there's there's always this crisis of lack of black pilots.
And again, I remember a few years ago, but I think before George Floyd, there was a story in The New York Times about how I think it was American Airlines was going to try and get more black.
Black women in the cockpit.
And it's like, I'm going to short that airline.
Maybe it was United.
United has set up its own flight training school so that 50% of its new pilots are going to be minorities and 50% are going to be women.
Those are the numbers that I recall.
So, yep, short that stock.
No, it's just astonishing because we know what happened to the South African Air Force when they instituted BEE.
I believe the entire Air Force is grounded right now because, A, they can't maintain them.
They're not flying any planes.
Yeah, they can't maintain them, but because they stipulated a
initiative for diversity Set asides in in regards to the amount of pilots who could
be white Afrikaner or black and now by box have have done what?
What previously couldn't be done and that is ground the South African fleet
So we have a model for where America's headed ladies and gentlemen. It's not pretty
Gary Graham jr A film producer whose father flew fighter jets the Marine
Corps has researched the imbalance and concluded the services leaders
underestimate what's required for African Americans to overcome certain obstacles that can
Stymie the prospects of otherwise qualified individuals He points to previous flying experience, which is expensive.
Graham also faults a recruiting system that has done a lackluster job engaging the black community specifically.
So those opportunities aren't known to folks who would even consider it and who would be skillful or educated enough.
End quote.
Well, maybe they need to go to Morgan State and they need to try and convince a few people tearing down spite wall and now putting up spiteful wall to keep out the blacks that they should be fighter pilots based on their, based on what they're experiencing.
Over the past quarter of a century, the number of black Marines who fly fighter jets has fallen from an all time high of 15 in 2000.
To just five today, not even 1% of the approximately 580 fighter pilots serving across the Marine Corps.
It's the military's worst such disparity and one made more striking by the rise of Air Force General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., a fighter pilot, an African-American who is chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, holds the military's highest post.
You know, we haven't talked enough.
We haven't talked enough about this guy.
David Greenfield has done an amazing write-up.
He used to work for Front Page Mag.
David Horowitz's organization, and he wrote this amazing, beautiful expose—well, it's not beautiful, it's tragic—of just how anti-white General Brown is.
Anyways, David Berger, who retired in July as a Marines Top General, commissioned during his tenure as Commandant on Independence—Commandant, I'm sorry, like I said, I've already prefaced this.
My right eye, I've got my glasses on so I can barely see out of it.
Commandant, an independent study that yielded a roadmap for the service to start closing the gap.
between white and black pilots. But two years later, the study's most transformative recommendations
remain unimplemented, as leaders opt instead to remain on a course that emphasizes a broad
concept of diversity, rather than targeting shortfalls in individual demographics or career
fields. I mean, again, when a nation's defense has its highest priority getting people who are
less qualified than the top qualified, I think we're in trouble.
And I think that Russia and China are reading this and they're asking themselves, we want to put the best fighter pilots in a MiG.
Or the Chinese are saying, we want to put the best fighter pilot and whatever technology we've stolen from the West so that we're going to win.
And in our elite's eyes, the way to win It's not to win on the battlefield, but it's to win in the cockpit and make sure that there's a melon enhanced aviator in the cockpit Even as we lose a war it doesn't matter at least it's not a white guy fighting and winning To lead the effort to lead the effort burger tapped Charles Bolden jr.
Oh A former NASA administrator and the second black marine aviator ever promoted to general officer, and Bolden's son Shay, who spent 26 years in the Marine Corps.
In an interview, Charles Bolden said he accepted the assignment somewhat leery, having grown disillusioned with what he characterized as the Pentagon's vague efforts to promote military diversity.
Well, Mr. Bolden, you were promoted to be the head of NASA by Barack Obama because you're black.
Yeah, uh, just real quick If everyone remembers, Charles Bolden was the one who famously said that NASA's priority should be outreach to the Muslim world.
That's that Charles Bolden.
He said this, quote, I came out depressed because I personally had no idea we had gone as backwards as we've gone.
He and his son remain doubtful that Marine Corps leaders will expend the resources and effort required to achieve the change they prescribe.
Again, they should just mandate that 25% of all pilots of the 580 combat-ready pilots be black.
This is just such insanity.
I mean... That would be 106, I believe.
So, yeah.
Why not?
Who is prepared?
I bet there's not a single person in uniform who says, this is insane.
Just go out and get the best.
Not one.
Not a single one.
They want to get... Anyway, this stuff just drives me nuts.
We've got a couple more lines in this story.
No, we've got a couple more lines, especially one that you highlighted.
The Bolden Study, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Post, has not been made public.
It concludes that the Marine Corps cannot overcome generations of discrimination and mistrust merely by having removed barriers to participation in top-tier jobs such as fighter pilot.
Rather, the Boldens assert the service must establish a new pathway to reach and recruit African Americans, And entrust the role of chief diversity officer to the commandant himself rather than delegate that responsibility to a leader with less visibility and influence as it does now.
So, Mr. Taylor, think about what that just said, that, you know, this is a priority to recruit blacks and entrust the role of chief diversity officer to the commandant himself.
So that's the most important priority.
This stuff is just so insane.
Well, I've got a different story for you.
Thankfully, almost as insane, but not as dangerous.
The LA Times writes about a study of the so-called luxury effect.
This is the phenomenon whereby wealthier and typically quieter areas attract a larger and more diverse population of Drumroll please.
Birds!
Yes, birds.
Non-white communities in the LA area, such as Boyle Heights, have less tree canopy and greater housing density than rich neighborhoods.
As a result, they have less bird biodiversity and larger populations of synanthropic birds.
This is a new word for me.
Synanthropic.
Synanthropic.
These are bird species adapted to dense urban environments.
such as house finches and sparrows, European starlings, pigeons, and northern mockingbirds.
Synanthropic means, I guess, syn meaning together, anthropos meaning humans. They live around people.
Wealthy white areas, on the other hand, have more trees and vegetation, which attract more birds and
a greater diversity of them. Shade equity. Oh no. Yep, yep, yep. Now, if you're rich and white,
you, in your backyard, you might have yellow-rumped warblers, band-tailed pigeons,
acorn woodpeckers, black-throated gray warblers.
Wow!
And the result is these researchers have verified that patterns of income inequality carry over to influence urban biodiversity.
Oh my gosh, another legacy of slavery.
And, of course, that in neighborhoods with no black-throated gray warblers, SAT scores are low, poverty is high, and if you don't have a single yellow-rumped warbler, then gun crime is absolutely out of control.
I mean, that's my gloss on the story here.
But I'd say this study gives a whole new meaning to Jim Crow, doesn't it?
Or do you think this whole study is for the birds?
But as you were suggesting, we have had heat islands, food deserts, and drugstore deserts, and remember the story about urban wildlife?
Not birds.
There are coon deserts, if I may be permitted such a remark.
You are permitted to say that there's a lack of wildlife in black communities, yes.
But where I live, Mr. Taylor, I have to look out for deer constantly, and it's a very It's a very trafficked area.
It's not like it's just there's a lot of trees in the neighborhoods and it's astonishing how many family of deer there are and Yeah, I guess white people give off some pheromones that attract animals, like in some sort of cartoon with a beautiful blonde-haired female singing, and then all of a sudden all the animals come up and just magically gravitate.
These are synanthropic species.
Deer, raccoons.
Yes, I guess they're racist.
They like white people.
Synanthropic?
God!
Yes, if you have deer running around, you do not live in a coon desert.
And I bet, who knows, maybe there's no shortage of yellow-rumped warblers.
Of course, you know, if you walk through Boyle Heights, I bet when the weather is fine, I bet you'd get a real earful of black-rumped warblers.
I didn't say.
I don't know.
I don't know.
All I can tell you is I bet you where that spite wall was just turned down, there's not much wildlife and there's very few birds.
There could be some black-rumped warblers though.
Now, I have a question for the researchers.
Did they count the number of bird feeders per acre?
I bet in the white neighborhoods, there are a lot more bird feeders, but I bet that was not one of the variables they considered.
Now, this is not quite our beat, but it is related in some respects.
This has to do with the women's underwear company, Victoria's Secret.
It's reportedly pulling back from its recent ad campaigns featuring fat models, transgenders, I should think if you're talking about people they should be transgenderers, but in any case, transgenders, and the anti-American lesbian soccer player Megan Rapinoe.
They've pulled back from this campaign because sales plummeted.
Yes, terrible shame.
The rebranding kickoff in July 2021, that was when the company named Rapinoe and transgender model Valentina Sampiao as brand ambassadors.
At that time, activist Rapinoe had blasted Victoria's Secret, pushing a message that was really harmful and one that was patriarchal and sexist.
But somehow, she was willing to pose for photos in her underwear if the price was right.
The campaign also included plus-size mannequins on which the clothing was displayed in ads and on stores, as well as plus-size—that means fat—models wearing the stuff.
And along with a public face rebranding, the company also moved to fill most of its board positions with women.
I wonder if they were fat women and lesbian women and women with purple hair.
I don't know.
The rebranding campaign came two years after the company's famed annual fashion show was done away with.
Oh, God.
That was the last show that was in 2018.
A more civilized time, Mr. Taylor.
Yeah, boy, civilization's been going downhill rapidly.
Now, there is a magazine called Business of Fashion, which has a reporter by the name of Kathleen Chen.
She was shocked to report just this week that despite all the favorable reviews from online critics, apparently this campaign had all sorts of whooping and cheering online, but sales plummeted.
And earlier this year, constant failure forced Victoria's Secret CEO Amy Hawke to resign.
And so, along with going back to its former sexy image, I guess they fired all the fat people and they fired all the people that are anti-American lesbians.
The company is also planning to revive the fashion show with its famed angels walking the catwalk.
Civilization is gonna return.
No.
That is a sign that the moral arc of the universe always bends to boobs.
No, I'm joking.
Sorry.
That's terrible.
It kind of does, doesn't it?
But why are we talking about this?
Can I tell one personal story real quick just to make our podcast a little more fun for
our listeners?
You can get it too personal, but all right.
But back when I was a senior in high school, I actually applied my senior freshman summer
between college to Victoria's Secret because I thought I'd meet good looking girls.
I didn't get the job, but, you know, it was just it was a thought.
I was like, I want to meet good looking girls.
So why would I not work in underwear?
Yeah, they're exactly so.
Well, I bet they didn't hire you, but they don't have any men selling women's underwear in Victoria's Secret.
I think that's a bad idea, really.
Probably was a bad idea, but anyways.
Well, I see.
The moral arc of something, in your case, always bends towards something, but we won't get into that any further.
But why are we talking about this?
Because in business, and ladies' underwear is a business, Insanity is, to some respect, self-regulating.
I mean, it was just nuts to think that women were going to buy underwear so they could look like a pink-haired lesbian or some lardball.
I mean, whose goofy idea was this?
And it was punished in the market.
But you know, politics are supposed to work the same way.
The voters are supposed to say, look, this stuff is insane, and so they throw the bums out.
I think Americans are absolutely sick and tired of this immigration invasion, sexually confused people being rubbed in our faces, relentless race preferences, tense cities of degenerates on their streets and drag queen story hour, you name it.
But the politics don't self-correct.
I think this is an instructive difference between what happened to Victoria's Secret and what happens to our rulers.
And I would say the reason they don't self-correct is because of this huge, gigantic problem we have with the media.
It's constant braying of support for every bit of just insanity that anybody could think of.
But who knows?
Maybe the arc of politics will bend back towards sanity one of these days.
We'll talk about business real quick, just to throw it out there.
Look what's happened to Bud Light with the whole push for that Dylan Mulvaney, that guy who's pretending to be a dude.
I mean, it's like the Aerosmith song.
Dude looks like a lady.
Come on.
People are tired of this.
But the problem is, as Gregory Hood The great AR writer has pointed out we live in a media run state.
Look at what we talked about earlier.
The usage of the term white supremacist, white supremacy, has increased in such an exponential manner in the most important media institutions.
And when you can basically say that anything... I mean, we live in a society where, you know, being on time is considered racist.
I believe one of our listeners actually put together a long list for us of all the things that have been deemed racist, because... Oh gosh, there'd be no end to that.
It'd be a very fun list.
We have great listeners who are very... I mean, gosh, one of our listeners put together a video about chirping, so... Yes, it was pretty good.
Mr. Kruse, we got some more important stories in practically no time, and I want to talk about Wal-Mart.
Let's talk about Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart.
Its decision to install anti-theft technologies in stores nationwide has made customers hostile and dangerous.
I should think, so how dare Wal-Mart stop people from stealing?
No wonder they're hostile and dangerous.
When was the last time you were in a Wal-Mart?
Hmm, can't remember.
So you're not one of those hostile and dangerous customers.
Good.
I'm certainly not.
The retailer's computer vision technology closely monitors self-checkouts.
The system works by shining a light on someone when the system detects an unscanned item.
The machine then sends a notification to a nearby member of the staff and forces the customer's checkout machine to call for help.
Employees then act as if something is wrong with the machine and tell the buyer to go pay at a regular cashier checkout, because they don't dare say, we caught you stealing.
Isn't that something?
So they've got all this snazzy technology to catch them stealing, but don't dare tell them.
That might make them hostile and dangerous.
Well, this loss reduction system has started backfiring.
Some of them getting pretty excited.
Just the other day at one of their stores, a customer was caught doing that.
She was a very, very overweight, regular-to-her-meals lady, an African-Americaness, on a motorized scooter.
This woman was throwing merchandise around when they told her to go to the checkout, and the police showed up, and she is shouting at him, drag me the F out!
I've seen a video of this.
It's really quite astonishing.
She picks up stuff off the belt, throws a bottle of ginger ale at the officer and a bag of potato chips at the cashier.
Then she hops up from the motorized scooter.
You know, you think that these people are crippled, but she hops up and she pulls armloads of products off the shelves.
But in an attempt to stop the customer from making more of a mess, the cop grabs her.
And she shoves him in the face, rips off his glasses, and then they start wrestling.
This lady on the scooter, boy, she looks pretty frisky.
It takes him quite a while to actually throw her on the ground, put her in a tackle, and try to put the cuffs on her.
She puts up a real fight, and the whole time, she is calling him White Cracker.
And she is shouting at the top of her voice, effing white trash.
Walmart is effing racist.
She goes on and on and on about this.
It is an astonishing video.
But what's interesting about this is that this lady, who is obviously got an IQ of maybe just above that of a fried egg, She knows about accusing everybody of racism.
You arrest her for trying to steal and the cop is effing white trash and Walmart is effing racist for not letting her walk out with a full shopping bag all by herself.
This stuff is just everywhere and we know why.
Interestingly enough, a Walmart in Atlanta It's all set to add an on-site police substation or a mini precinct right in the Walmart.
That should be a deterrent to shoplifters.
Yes!
They're going to have a little mini precinct right in the Walmart.
That's the only way they can keep stuff from walking off the shelves.
That store is set to open in May of 2024 following a year-long closure after shoplifters, get this, set the building on fire to distract from their thieving Why bother to set fire?
Nobody's gonna stop them.
Anyway, I bet they were just having more fun.
But they burned down the store, or burned up enough of it, so it was closed for a year, fixing it up, and lo and behold, the security footage of the arsonist does show that these three people who were shoplifting and setting fire, they were indeed melanin supercharged.
No, the cameras are racist.
Aye, they must be.
They must be, yes.
Now it was reported in September that Walmart lost $3 billion last year in theft and shoplifting.
How much again?
Three billion.
Three billion.
That's three million million.
Or is it three?
No, that's three thousand million.
I beg your pardon.
Three thousand million make a billion.
So there you go.
Well, we have very little time left.
Golly, what's a nice short story we can do?
Hey, you had a couple of stories.
I'll tell you what, let's hold the story.
I want to talk about Walmart.
I do shop at Walmart, and I hate, I loathe self-checkouts, Mr. Taylor, because a lot of times when you scan something, it doesn't get registered by the machine as you're trying to check out.
It's a way for businesses to have fewer and fewer employees because you have one person actually monitoring.
And at the Walmart that I shop at, it actually, I've done this before where I scanned something and it didn't go through and I put it in the bag and then all of a sudden it shows the scan not going.
And it's very, it's like, oh my God, I can't believe I did that.
So then you pull it out and you just scan it again.
So now I live in a very, uh, about a 94% white area, uh, where I am.
So it's not, you know, it's not like, Oh my God, this is terrible.
They're telling me to go to a self-checkout.
It actually asks you to self-correct.
Yeah.
So it's not anything bad.
It's just like, Oh my gosh, I'm just trying to scan six or seven items.
One didn't happen.
It didn't make the beep.
And, um, you'd be careful.
You be careful.
Next thing you know, there's going to be sirens going off, lights flashing over you, and you're going to say, uh-oh, looks like the machine is broken.
You're going to have to go to a cashier at checkout, Mr. Kersey, because they've already got your name on the database.
Sticky-fingered Kersey.
Well, we've got time for one last little story here.
A new study by two scholars at University of North Carolina, Texas A&M, have examined the impact of DEI programs in corporate America.
And here's their abstract.
They say the business case for diversity is that it makes profits.
Well, what they have done is they gathered data on the race and ethnicity of the people in leadership at the S&P 500 websites, and they have determined if, by any measure, they had any financial success because of their diversity, they found absolutely no evidence.
This is all baloney.
In other words, this idea that it's profits is nonsense.
Well, Mr. Kersey, as usual, we've run out of time.
We have so many great stories.
But once again, on behalf of my indispensable co-host and speaking from the bottom of my heart, we thank you, our listeners.
We really enjoy this time we spend with you.
We consider it a pleasure and a great honor.
And it will be our pleasure and honor to speak with you again next week.
