Time Text
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, Paul Kersey.
Today is December 21st, only four more days till Christmas, and I'm sure that Mr. Kersey joins me in wishing you a wonderful and marvelous Christmas, and I hope all of you are spending it, or will be spending it, with the people you love best.
We have a comment from a listener who says, Hello, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Kersey.
I'm a Hispanic race realist and a big supporter of your work.
I'm very grateful to see how much all of your hard work has been paying off.
Well, I hope it's been paying off.
Every day it seems like more and more people are realizing the inherent truths of race realism and ethnic nationalism.
At any rate, I have a quick question regarding the trial of Hannah Payne.
What advice would you have to a white person who happens to be as unlucky as Hannah?
Is it time to encourage whites to flee the country?
Well, Mr. Kersey, do you know who Hannah Payne is?
You know, clue me in.
Pretend that I'm like all of our listeners who might be in the same boat.
Like what?
Who?
Who?
Huh?
Well, I'm not surprised you haven't heard of Hannah Payne.
And it is a strange act of mind reading on the part of this Hispanic listener because Tomorrow we will be posting our feature article on AmRan about an article about Hannah Payne.
I won't try to spoil the plot, but this is a lady who was trying to do the right thing, and she got into a heap of trouble.
There is a distinct racial element here.
And as I say, I don't want to spoil the plot.
I urge all of our listeners to read this remarkable and thought-provoking article.
But In reply to our Hispanic listener, I do not think that the time is to encourage whites to flee the country.
We are not going to abandon this country.
We may be able to carve out a chunk of it for ourselves.
But, no, now is not the time to flee.
And the trouble is, many European countries, many white countries in the western part of Europe, are in some respects just as bad as the United States.
No, the time is to wake up more and more white people, stand and fight.
That is my answer to that question.
And Mr. Kersey, I think you'll find the story of Hannah Payne an eye-opening one, too.
Here is another comment from a listener.
Rashad Mendenhall, former mediocre stealer running back, tweeted, I'm sick of average white guys commenting on football.
You're not even good at football.
Can we please replace the po-ball with an all-black versus all-white ball so these cats can stop trying to teach me who's good at football?
Our listener writes, imagine a white student tweeting this.
I'm sick of average white guys commenting on schoolwork.
You're not even good at school.
Can we please replace academic achievement ratings with black versus white academic statistics so these cats can stop trying to teach me who's good at school.
Now Mr. Kersey, you are much more of a sports fan than I.
What if you took all the best white NFL players and all the best black NFL players and played them against each other?
Who would win?
It's a very good question and because the NFL has been trending blacker and blacker over the past decade.
Um, you know, I, I want to say like in the mid eighties, it was like 50, 50 white, black, and, and now you've got just complete, uh, you've actually seen more black quarterbacks now, uh, black starting quarterbacks.
Overwhelming.
Yeah.
It's shocking.
But I, I actually believe when you look at white players at key positions, um, uh, especially on defense.
Now there aren't that many white cornerbacks.
There are white safeties.
Uh, last year was the first time a white guy from Iowa got drafted.
Excuse me as cornerback and this year the number one draft prospect from Iowa is a white guy the number one cornerback draft prospect from the NCAA so I think that I think that the white team of course the number one running back in the league is a white guy for the For the 49ers Christian McCaffrey.
I think you'd have excellent tight ends.
You'd have good receivers Cooper Cup is one of the top receivers I think the team would it would be a very competitive game and I think it would be fascinating I think that offensively it would be it would be tremendous because you again you've seen this story become a big phenomenon on social media a lot of former white players in the NFL Mr. Taylor have commented on it and and they know what it's like to you know I have a
I have an acquaintance who played in the NFL.
I won't say who it was, but he talked about that in most locker rooms that he played in, there was a distinct racial element.
No camaraderie at all.
And he played for one of the teams that was dominant in the early part of this century.
And that team was disproportionately white on offense, and he said that there was a sense of camaraderie that he hadn't seen since his high school days in that locker room.
I would love to have some guy who has been in professional sports write a first-person account of what it's like in, say, pro basketball, pro football, So dominated numerically by blacks, but be it as it may, you think that it would be a competitive game because a naive guy like me just looking at any pro football game, there are so many more blacks out there.
You think, okay, if you just got all the white guys playing against the black guys, the black guys just run right over.
But you don't think that'd be the case.
No, I think you have to go back and look at the most dominant NFL player on defense, excuse me, was J.J.
Watt, who just retired.
His brother, T.J.
Watt, plays for the Steelers.
He's one of the top linebackers and the legal white guy.
Mr. Taylor, he didn't have one scholarship offer going out of high school.
He had to walk on at Wisconsin and he, and there are so many stories like that of these white athletes who were overlooked out of high school.
And because they played positions that are stereotyped as black, whether it's tailback receiver or Well, I didn't realize I was going to get such a detailed and involved answer to what I thought was a pretty simple question.
But Mr. Kersey, I hate to cut you off, and I'm sure our football fans are aggrieved that I'm doing so, but we need to move along specifically to a question that was directed to you.
And so I'd ask you to answer it.
Yeah, let me pull this one up.
Let's see if I can find it here.
One second as I look here.
I actually... I apologize.
Did you lose it?
I don't see it within our... Well, I didn't send it back to you.
...notes.
Was this the one about... It had to do with the problem that we had discussed of people who are simply present at a penalty.
being hit with the same punishment as someone who actually pulls the trigger and commits a crime.
But if you've lost it, we can go back to, we can do it, we can move it to the next podcast.
We can move to the next podcast.
If I'm able to find it, we might be able to address it.
You know, here, I've got it right here.
I've got it right here.
I just found it.
Mr. Kersey may claim, this is from a listener.
Thank you very much for this question, by the way.
Mr. Kersey may claim to be a big law and order guy, but I don't think he's big on justice.
I hope he has had enough time to reflect on the hypothetical proposed to him last week regarding accomplices getting maximum sentences.
I'm not sure how the principle changes.
He basically supports equal guilt by association.
Not only do accomplices physically perpetrate less, they may be naive of the other person's true intent and change course of action.
Nobody's a mind reader who can know what people in their company will do, including criminal pursuits that change in magnitude.
The author of this question goes on to suppose that wasn't Mr. Kersey in attendance at Charlottesville or January 6?
Would he want mere proximity to be as judge, jury, and executioner because of what the guy next to him did?
Question mark.
Hashtag Team Taylor.
Okay.
Well, I had to put this in context.
This had to do with my observation that this teenage black girl who got into the backseat of a car that had been carjacked, and now because a white woman was just brutally killed in the process, she's facing 20 years in jail.
And I just think that's excessive.
And we have batted this around a time or two, and it looks as though somebody is on my side.
Tim Taylor.
Now, let me just go and say this.
We actually, before August, whatever the date was in 2017, we told people not to go to Charlottesville.
You know, no, I was nowhere near Charlottesville, Virginia on that date.
You're dodging the question.
I'm not dodging the question.
You're dodging the question.
I'm prefacing this.
I was also not in attendance at January 6th.
And however, I again, I don't think that anybody who was at those events was, I don't think
any accomplices of what's the guy's name?
James Fields.
A lot of people gotten a lot of trouble there were you know, those incidents were crazy.
It's a great question I'm not trying to dodge the question.
I just feel that I These were two, you know, the the incident that we spoke of
in was it in New Orleans or somewhere in Louisiana where the wife had her arm ripped off?
Yes, I believe so.
Maybe I was hasty and in coming to that conclusion that that she deserved a pretty strong sentence.
But, you know, punishment must be unusual or else it serves no purpose, to quote Heinlein.
And I will be I'll be blunt and say that that was a gruesome, gruesome murder that got barely any attention outside of
Louisiana, except on briefs, realist circles.
And.
And...
I don't know.
I guess my question to you, Mr. Taylor, would be how often are murders where there is an accomplice in the car?
Most of the time it's... Well, this takes me back to old Ahmaud Arbery business.
That poor Roddy Bryant guy who just tagged along filming.
He's got life in jail because of this death.
I think the guy who pulled the trigger, or who perhaps was wrestled into pulling the trigger by Omar Arbery when he grabbed the shotgun, though that guy is not by any means guilty of murder.
But in any case, the fact that you are there committing, well, an accomplice in some sense, and then you get the same kind of penalty, I just think it's harsh.
We probably have spent too much time on this, and we should move along to another comment.
And this will be an introduction for you to give us the first news story.
Our commenter says, I followed with interest the story about IBM and Red Hat's discriminatory hiring policies against whites.
I work at Red Hat.
We just had layoffs for the first time in our history.
Didn't have them when the dot-com bubble burst during the financial crisis or the Great Recession.
I noticed almost all of my colleagues who left the company had one thing in common.
They're white.
I wonder if there are any statistics on whether layoffs are designed to get rid of white people.
If there are, I haven't found them.
The tech industry is known for laying off workers, finding out that too many were laid off, then hiring for similar positions months later.
I'm wondering if this is part of the Great Replacement.
I wish Stephen Miller good luck with his lawsuit against IBM.
So this is interesting.
A guy who works for IBM, or one of its subsidiaries, is urging on a lawsuit against the company.
Now, this was something in reaction, I think, to an IBM guy who was heard saying, no, no, we really got to hire these non-whites.
Asians are not underrepresented.
You got to go for the blacks and Hispanics, etc, etc.
But now I understand even more devastating stuff has come out.
You know, it's been fascinating over the past couple years thinking about all the leaks we've seen from Coca-Cola, the airlines, American Express, Capital One.
Now we get a leak from IBM, and James O'Keefe, to his everlasting credit, this is from Post Millennial, he reveals more internal IBM Red Hat docs from Whistleblower exposing anti-white agenda.
Whiteness constructs the game.
Hides the rules then rigs the game over and over again.
That's one of the slides that these
Individuals who got this training came came across so James Oh James O'Keefe revealed live on Tim cast in real life
from Turning Point USA's America fest that internal training documents from IBM
Show that the anti whiteness being perpetrated against IBM employees is a lot more pervasive than than we even thought
The slides brought to O'Keefe's OMG from a whistleblower inside the company show a graphic on whiteness.
It dissects alleged white blindness, white power, and the white impulse to divide and conquer.
Under blindness, Mr. Taylor reads, quote, white people don't know what we don't know.
So what we do get carefully taught is what's passed down, unquote, lies and omissions of the truth.
Get equal billing in what we are taught in the description of white power, the slide reads white is the default, everything else exists in proximity to it.
The slides go on.
Whiteness constructs the games, hides the rules, then rigs the game over and over again.
A second slide explores the question, what does do the work mean?
And states, we have to start with the real problem.
The slide shows a graphic of a microscope and says that what's been under the microscope are black behaviors, black culture, black history, black oppression, black celebrity, black art, black stories.
The IBM slide then defines the real problem as white judgment, white theft, white history, white supremacy, white allowance, that's a new one, white allowance, white elitism, and white censorship.
The third slide revealed by Akif showed a graphic describing ancient Greek Greeks interacting with Africans, claiming that Greek knowledge came from African scholarship.
So IBM is teaching the We Was Kings concept to their employees.
The slide identified what gets missed and contrasted it with the problem.
What gets missed included black excellence, black joy, black achievement, black contribution.
Black is beautiful.
Black intelligence, black innovation.
The contrasted problem for each of these was white erasure.
The latest reveal is part of O'Keefe and OMG's ongoing expose of IBM's weaponized diversity trainings against white and Asian employees.
Forgive me, I don't know what the acronym OMG stands for.
That might be his new company since Project Veritas, since he was unceremoniously dumped from Project Veritas and that organization folded.
I believe that is his new investigative Yes, I think that's true.
Now this is quite remarkable.
The stuff that's coming out is really quite wonderful.
And of course, the remarkable thing is, this comes on the heels of IBM cancelling all its advertising on X a couple of weeks ago.
They issued a statement saying, IBM has zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination.
Hate speech and discrimination.
We can't have any of that.
And so they immediately suspended all their advertising on X. And yet, well, the things they're saying about white people, but that's not discrimination.
That's not hate speech.
These are white people.
You can say anything you like about them.
Boy, oh boy.
Well, you know, we was Kang's business.
Well, you know, we was Quain's, too.
Because we ladies have been in charge, and I'd like to speak briefly about one of the ladies in charge, namely Claudine Gay.
She's becoming my favorite Magic Negress.
Harvard University, just on Tuesday, got a complaint outlining over 40 allegations of plagiarism against Claudine Gay.
These are new allegations which were submitted to Harvard's Research Integrity Officer—they have such a thing—named Stacey Springs.
The full list of examples covers seven of Gaye's publications, and that's almost half of her scholarly output.
Can you imagine becoming president of Harvard with only maybe 15 actual scholarly papers?
Yes, if you're black.
Yeah, you have to be black, and being a woman sure helps.
The Harvard Corporation said earlier this month they did an independent review of Gray's work in October and found no violation of Harvard's standards for research.
That probe focused on just three papers, and here are yet more that are showing plagiarism.
All allegations of faculty plagiarism must be reviewed by Harvard's Research Integrity Officer, this person Stacy Springs, according to the school's official policies, and if deemed credible, they are referred for further investigation.
A guilty finding can result in suspension, rank reduction, or termination.
In determining the appropriate sanction, the school claims to consider whether the conduct was isolated or part of a pattern.
Sure sounds like it's part of a pattern.
The Harvard Crimson, the school newspaper, has complained that students caught plagiarizing are routinely suspended for semesters, even entire academic years.
Professors who plagiarize, however, not even a modicum of punishment seems to be their fate.
Harvard retained the bulldog litigation firm, Claire Locke, which boasts on its website it represents those unfairly targeted by the media.
This law firm, Claire Locke, then threatened the New York Post.
That's the publication that first brought the articles that showed plagiarism to the school's attention.
Threatened the Post with legal action.
Now, this is interesting.
The new complaint that's been filed against Harvard Could hold the school's feet to the fire over the school's legal threat to the post because that move says it violates the school's own research misconduct policy which forbids retaliation against those who complain about plagiarism.
Isn't that interesting?
Furthermore, over the course of her career Claudine Gay quietly built a diversity empire that influenced every aspect of university life.
Between 2018 and 2023 as dean, she oversaw the university's racially discriminatory admissions policy, which the Supreme Court found unconstitutional.
She later promised to comply with the letter of the law while remaining steadfast—that's her word—in her commitment to producing diversity.
She's going to bend the rules as much as she possibly can.
After George Floyd ascended into heaven in 2020, Gay commissioned a task force on visual culture and signage.
To change spaces whose visual culture is dominated by homogeneous white portraiture, whatever that means.
In any case, honky out.
In 2022, she implemented an initiative at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for denaming any space program or other entity deemed racist.
Denaming.
That's a new one on me.
These lefties just love to invent new words.
And, of course, she leads this huge DEI bureaucracy.
Officially, it's called the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
We've talked about that before.
Belonging.
Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
I'd love to belong to the Office of Belonging.
I'd just be such a good belonging czar.
You'd be a good belonger.
A good belonger, yes.
Oh boy.
The university deleted, apparently, nearly all of the DEI materials from its website after President Gay's disastrous congressional testimony.
But you can use the Wayback Machine to find some.
And there you will learn, just as at IBM and Red Hat, that America is a nation defined by systemic racism, police brutality, white supremacist violence, and weaponization of whiteness.
Oh, I wish I could weaponize my whiteness, Mr. Kersey.
Students were invited also to unpack their white privilege, their male privilege, and to reflect on their white fragility.
And then, in the long season of racial guilt and animus that followed George Floyd's death, the university was desperate to recruit a first, as Gay put it in her inaugural address.
Yeah, she's just glorying in her firstness.
And, as she put it, to disrupt the university's nearly 400 years of whiteness.
She's disrupting whiteness.
Oh, I bet she just feels wonderful when she wakes up in the morning and says to herself, How much whiteness can I disrupt today?
She rubs her hands together and smiles.
Of course, Harvard's trustees are in a bind.
They hired her for her identity, and now they can't fire her for this very reason.
And so I guess they're just going to muddle through for as long as the racial reckoning lasts.
But as I've said before, if she survives this, She can survive absolutely anything, and she is queen for life, absolutely, for as long as she likes.
She is the presidentess of Harvard.
So as I was saying, we was kings, but we was also queens.
And I think Harvard is becoming the Bud Light of American universities.
And I'm thinking that some Harvard people are going to be embarrassed.
And this may be the end of the old joke.
How can you tell a man who went to Harvard?
He tells you.
Meanwhile, I mean, I think some Harvard men are going to be a little quieter about this.
In any case, meanwhile, the NAACP leader defends Harvard President Claudine Gay and says critics are advancing a white supremacist agenda.
Oh boy, thank you NAACP for putting things in proper perspective when you point out that the president is an incompetent who can't even write an original research paper.
Boy, you are advancing a white supremacist agenda because it's true.
Research is pretty white supremacist.
Well, let's see.
I've got another little story here.
Federal prosecutors just on Wednesday charged a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen with a hate crime.
And many other offenses in connection with more than a hundred threats he allegedly phoned into Jewish community centers and organizations.
Do you remember that?
There's this whole huge hubbub.
All of these phone calls made and all of these Jewish groups and Jewish organizations were in a terrible tizzy.
As it turns out, Michael Ron David Kadar, age 19, he was indicted in federal courts in Georgia, Florida and Washington.
After investigations into his many threats against high-profile Jewish organizations, including the ADL and the Israeli embassy.
Prosecutors say Kadar, who is Jewish, made multiple calls involving bomb threats, active shooter threats, etc, etc, etc.
In all, he is responsible for at least 160 anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S.
160 single-handedly.
He must be a very clever fellow.
He was arrested in Israel, where he also faces charges.
Yes.
Now, I don't know if he's going to be extradited.
I believe he is still in Israel.
But this reminds me of something else.
Do you remember, maybe it was a year or so ago, there was a huge spate of phone threats to black colleges.
And Joe Biden gave him loads of money for security, and then they finally tracked the person down.
It's a very similar situation.
Apparently one person making lots and lots of phone calls, I guess cleverly hiding his tracks some way with a burner phone or whatever it was, and then they found the guy, but then there was this sort of silence, this embarrassed silence.
Do you remember that?
And it never came to light.
I think the person was a minor, and so they did not reveal his In any case, I'm glad that this Jewish guy has been tracked down.
his race, but I am guessing that it must have been yet another black person who
was making these fake columns. In any case, I'm glad that this Jewish guy
has been tracked down. Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a rather disheartening
story on the number of schools that are being renamed these days. You know, this
This is, uh, this is an older story, but I think it's so important to consider what just happened last week when we talked about, uh, Patrick Henry, uh, high school, I believe out of Minneapolis that was renamed.
And we see this, we see this so much, all these founding fathers, uh, they have no connection to the Confederacy, but what just happened not far from the world headquarters, the New Century Foundation, where at Arlington National Cemetery, the Biden administration, uh, removed the reconciliation, uh, Well, that's just it.
There can be no reconciliation with Confederates.
They must be spat upon, stomped on, written out of history, reviled.
I saw that beautiful monument and it's, again, it's another reminder that we just live, we
live in a conquered country and I guess reconciliation is off the table.
Well, that's just it.
There can be no reconciliation with Confederates.
They must be spat upon, stomped on, written out of history, reviled.
You know, that memorial, I don't think I've ever told you about this, Mr. Kersey, but
there was a time when every Confederate Memorial Day there would be a band that would play
right at the base of that memorial.
There were reenactors.
There were people who would march by.
We would play Dixie, Bonnie Blue Flag, all these wonderful Confederate songs.
And it was a wonderful, wonderful time.
Decorate all the graves with battle flags.
Now that doesn't happen, as you can well imagine, and now the very memorial itself is going to go.
So I have a particular fond spot in my heart.
All of those band concerts I played in, all just washed down the memory hole, and even worse than that, washed into perdition.
But be that as it may, let's go back to our—I should not have interrupted you, as I so frequently do.
No, that's a very somber, sad story.
I mean, was this a couple decades ago, or when was the last one you remember?
Well, the last one, probably about 15 years ago, when I was pretty active in amateur musical circles.
But no, it was really a wonderful time.
All these ladies in their Confederate era dresses, men in their reenactment uniforms.
Often there was a cannon that would fire salutes to the Confederate dead.
Oh, it was a wonderful, wonderful time.
But I don't know when those times will come back.
Yeah, I would encourage all of our listeners, if you're in the Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina area, if you do want to see one of the last great places that still commemorates the Confederate dead, it is Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond.
Amazing place.
There's a pyramid that was built in 1869.
That's very much worth going out of your way to see so Yeah, let's just let's get to the story.
This was written by the way by Alea Wong and Nina Hagen from the USA Today so we can laugh about that in a second 82 schools have removed their racist namesakes and Since 2020 dozens now honor people of color and again, this is from the USA Today I'm just gonna read bits and pieces of this because it's a very important story just to show that it's not just the Confederates it's it's the Founding Fathers and it's any white man who ever uttered a negative a negative word about As you call them our pets BIPOCs people of color wasn't until her junior year that Ashley Sanchez and
Via Farah learned the truth about her high school's racist namesake.
The Thomas Chambliss Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, was named after a longtime district superintendent who served during the civil rights era and did everything he could to preserve segregation.
Quote, the name wasn't really talked about, and when it was, it was only in a positive light, she said.
T.C.
Williams High School inspired the 2000 biographical sports film Remember the Titans, starring Denzel Washington, based on a true story about the Schools, football teams, struggles with integration.
Alumni were attached to the name and the memories it conjured.
One of the two student representatives on the Alexandria City Public School Board, Sanchez Villafarra, thought that there had to be a better name than that.
She and her peers got to work embarking on an effort to lead the school's name being changed to Alexandria City High in 2021.
Now, more than 80 public schools across the U.S.
chose to drop their namesakes in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, citing the individual's racist acts, according to USA Today analysis of federal data.
Now, Mr. Taylor, I do want to deviate real quick.
Do you think George Floyd had any idea when he woke up on that morning of May, I don't know what day it was, May 24th, 23rd, 25th?
I think it was May 25th.
May 25th, 2020.
A day that will, a day that will live in infamy.
Yeah.
Do you think he had any idea that when he woke up and brushed his teeth and put the cap, I mean, he probably didn't put the cap back on the toothbrush, but when he went out, did he think, man, I'm going to change the world.
This is the day.
I think it was just an ordinary day for him.
Who can I defraud?
Who's going to accept my bogus $20 bill?
Yep, another day, another dollar.
Getting back to the story, excuse me.
Yes.
Quote, it's all part of the power struggle against the schoolhouse, said Hillary Greene, the James B. Duke professor of Africana Studies at Davidson College.
She studies Confederate monument removal and school renaming trends.
I'm sure she was giddy yesterday with the removal of the Reconciliation Monument at the Arlington Cemetery.
Green said she expects the country will continue to see an uptick in the number of schools abandoning racist namesakes only months after the racial justice protests of 2020.
School board officials faced a flood of appeals to remove namesakes from school buildings and prominent Confederate figures or an immediate target in southern states.
Robert E. Lee had his name removed from 17 schools, Stonewall Jackson from eight schools, and Jefferson Davis from four schools.
So that's a total of, what, 28 schools just right there.
I'm sorry, 29 schools, forgive me, 29 schools.
Yes, what did they do after the Second World War in Germany?
De-Nazification?
I guess this de-confederatization continues a hundred years after the demise of the Confederacy.
Still de-confederatizing.
But it's, as we learned last week, Patrick Henry had to go.
Give me liberty or give me death.
Francis Scott Key has been renamed.
I mean, just last week I actually went across the Key Bridge, and I was thinking to myself, when are they going to rename the Key Bridge here in Baltimore?
They can't.
They can't celebrate one of the initial members of the American Colonization Society.
That's right.
In northern states according to review of federal data very few schools had Confederate namesakes But many school boards voted to drop names of controversial presidents.
Mr. Taylor such as James Buchanan who failed to challenge the spread of slave slavery Immediately preceding the Civil War.
I believe he was number president 15.
He was the one before or was that Franklin?
I forgot Lincoln, was he not?
It's either Franklin Pierce was before Lincoln or Buchanan.
I believe Buchanan was the 15th president.
So I think Franklin Pierce was 14th.
And President Woodrow Wilson, who doubled down on segregation and openly supported the Ku Klux Klan.
Hundreds of schools nationwide are still named after controversial presidents and well-known Confederate figures.
However, the USA Today wrote to the chagrin of its editorial board.
School name changes involving Confederates may be the most visible because they're so well-known, but they were far from the only controversial names targeted in the nationwide push to to jettison racist symbols.
In Minnesota, for example, two schools removed the name Henry Sibley, a Civil War-era governor after activists brought to light evidence that he massacred Native Dakota people.
In Illinois, school board officials eschewed the name Daniel Webster, A former Secretary of State who defended slavery.
What?
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, this must be the different Daniel Webster from Massachusetts.
This must be a different Daniel Webster.
I don't know, huh?
Well, probably anybody with a wasp name is fair game.
He did sound bad.
Yeah, this is the Daniel Webster who was famously lionized in The Devil vs. Daniel Webster.
He was the former Secretary of State.
I believe he was actually a member of the American Colonization Society, too.
And in Wilmington, North Carolina, the school board voted to remove the name Walter L. Parsley.
A previously obscure historical figure who engineered a successful coup that left scores of black residents dead.
That's actually a fascinating story.
I never heard of this until I read this article, Mr. Taylor.
Roughly half of the schools in the USA Today's database were renamed after individuals, nearly all of them people of color.
So it is a color revolution in more ways than one.
Of those 82 schools that were renamed, 27 now honor women.
Well, that's progress.
Women of color.
Yeah, primarily BIPOC.
Yes, sir.
Now, I don't understand.
Daniel Webster, he represented New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the U.S.
Congress, and he was U.S.
Secretary of State.
What is it that he did that was so bad?
What did they say?
It said he defended slavery.
Defended slavery?
Yeah.
Boy, I sure didn't know that about him.
Well, okay.
He was just a dye-in-the-wool Yankee.
Okay.
Well, uh, I guess, um, well, what was your saying?
White supremacy, uh, makes the rules, hides the rules, changes the rules, and fools everybody.
I guess the rules were changed.
I just, um, all this was hidden from me about Daniel Webster.
Yeah.
They renamed it in honor of a black woman, Edith M. Smith, uh, a woman rooted in faith and community who led a court fight to desegregate a school system in Illinois.
So that is who replaced, uh, uh, you know, uh, A wonderful statesman who no longer needs to be remembered at all.
Needs to be forgotten.
Well, okay.
Well, is that the last in this depressing list of the erasures of white people?
Well, I'm reading the article here.
I'd like to point this out.
Board President Brandon Ewing suggested changing the name of both Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Daniel Webster, uh, the school, uh, because even though Webster was not a slave owner, Ewing said in November, his actions as a US Senator perpetuated the enslavement of African Americans in the country.
He, uh, yeah.
And then he said that this woman who they're celebrating, um, this black woman was, um, Well, white supremacist history has just concealed her.
She was as important as all those people, but just not sufficiently well known, and now her name will be shouted from the rooftops.
Medgar Evers and Fannie Lou Hammer. There's a wonderful potpourri of the new founding fathers.
Well, white supremacist history has just concealed her. She was as important as all those people,
but just not sufficiently well known, and now her name will be
shouted from the rooftops. Good for her. There you go.
Justice has been done after all.
Well, let's see.
Here is an interesting report.
I mean, we seem to be doing one of these just about every month.
A record number of illegals encountered in a single day, just on Monday.
The last record had been a little over 10,000.
Now, earlier this week, 12,600 migrants were encountered on the southern border.
12,600.
In Eagle Pass, where many of them seem to come swarming across, agents are outnumbered at a ratio of 200 to 1.
There were 3,000 encounters, as they call them, on the Tucson sector in Arizona, where agents have been overwhelmed and where Arizona's Democrat government, Katie Hobbs, has deployed the National Guard to help.
How nice.
They're helping, Mr. Kersey.
They're not stopping them.
They're helping them.
Oh, isn't that warm and make you feel like belonging?
The border saw a record number of encounters in fiscal year 23, with 2.4 million swarming across.
September is the highest month on record.
That must be, I mean, 30 days at, say, 10,000.
That's what, 300,000 or so?
Well, October was the highest October on record.
We're just going from strength to strength, breaking one record after another.
November, December is a time when migration is typically slowing down because it's cold.
But we are looking likely to post record or near record numbers, as well as agents now seeing routinely more than 10,000 encounters a day.
This is It's, I mean, you know where to begin.
This is a joke of a country, absolutely a joke of a country, that lets in 10,000 utter illegals a day.
Now, why are they coming?
Well, I think we can give you a partial answer in this study by the Center for Immigration Studies, CIS, really a great nonprofit.
They do wonderful, wonderful research work.
I cannot sing their praises high enough.
Agreed.
As they have pointed out in their latest study, 54% of households headed by immigrants, that is naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegals, 54% of those households used one or more major welfare programs.
54%.
No wonder they come!
We're ringing the dinner gong day in day out.
This compares to 39% for U.S.
born households.
I mean, I didn't realize that 39% of US-born households use some major welfare handout program.
What a country!
I mean, the rest of us are carrying these people around on our backs.
But 54% of households are headed by immigrants.
Now, the rate is 59% for non-citizen households.
That is to say, green card holders and illegal immigrants.
If, as I say, if you include legal residents, it's 54% and 59% of households headed by illegal immigrants use at least one of these programs.
God.
Yeah.
And apparently it's really not fraud because illegal immigrants can get welfare on behalf of their U.S.
born children.
Illegal immigrant children get school lunches, breakfast, women and women with infant children, that's food stamps.
A number of states provide Medicaid to some illegal adults and children.
And also food aid.
Of immigrant households composed of only a nuclear family, 49% use the welfare system compared to 35% of nuclear families in the U.S.
And immigrants higher welfare use relative to U.S.
born is only partly explained by lack of income.
Because when it turns out Immigrant households without children, as well as those with high incomes and those headed with immigrants with at least a bachelor's degree, they are more likely also to use welfare than their US-born counterparts.
Huh.
Yes.
So there must be, well, there's something about immigrants.
I guess they are just more likely to stick their snouts in the public trough because they probably care less about the United States.
I think there is at least a residual sense of pride among white people in the United States to think, I'm just not going to be feeding, sucking on the public teat this way.
But boy oh boy, 39% of U.S.
born households, of households headed by U.S.
born Americans, they are on some sort of major welfare program.
And of course, it'd be interesting to see the racial breakdown there, but maybe that'll be for next podcast.
I believe those data are available from CIS.
They're really pretty good.
Now, just one more story about, I guess it's part of the Christmas season here, but the European security officials are warning that the current crisis in Gaza poses the most dangerous terrorism threat to Europe's security in almost a decade.
German officials announced the arrest in Berlin of three suspects, A fourth suspect was detained in the Netherlands.
The prosecutors said these are long-term Hamas military wing members.
A second set of arrests the same day in Denmark targeted four members of what prosecutors said was an organized crime group that appeared to be planning an attack.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the incident was about as serious as it can possibly be.
Hamas could potentially undertake operations in Europe This greatly concerns law enforcement and intelligence services who have long treated Hamas operations there as benign fundraising.
Compared to its Lebanese allies in Hezbollah, which has long conducted military operations internationally, Hamas has ordinarily prided itself that all of its military attacks have been directed against Israel, but it appears they are branching out.
So, that'll be a lovely development for Christmas, and also all these millions of people coming into the United States.
I'm surprised.
We talked about this the other day.
It's a little bit of a surprise there hasn't been a terrorist attack already.
In any case, let's move back to Boston.
Oh no.
Speak to me of Michelle Wu.
Isn't that her name?
Yeah, she's the Asian mayor who's married to a white guy of Boston.
That Irish city that is stereotyped as home to so much bigotry and racism from white people.
Of course, we talked about this last week.
Boston Mayor says political motive drove electeds of color holiday party leak coverage.
Now, you and I were both fine with this.
Freedom of association is the only freedom that matters because every freedom is based on that, the ability to discriminate.
Um, so I was totally fine with the fact that there was an electeds of color party.
Uh, well, Boston mayor, Michelle Wu continued to defend her decision to hold an exclusive electeds of color holiday party saying that the way the invite was leaked and coverage by the national media was politically motivated.
The local political landscape is well aware of the electeds of color group, said the mayor, who went on to suggest that some of the backlash against last week's party may have been driven by the shock some people are experiencing over what leadership looks like in the city of Boston.
Let me interrupt you again.
She's saying the only reason people are upset is it's finally dawned on them that they have enough electeds of color to have a little party?
Say that one more time.
She says the only reason people are complaining about this is that it is only now dawned on them that there are enough BIPOC city councilors to have a party for them.
Yeah, I mean you get the great replacement has consequences and this is Boston does no longer look like the 1980s early 1990s sitcom Cheers where a bunch of white people of various ethnic origins and backgrounds at this cities gathered together to drink beer and reminisce about life and Larry Bird so Anyway, sorry.
Yeah, we did not have enough elected officials of color in previous administrations dating way back to even think about hosting something like this.
Wu said Monday on WBUR's Radio Boston, this is the first time the mayor is able to host as a member of this group because prior to me, all the elected mayors were not part of this group, meaning they were white people.
They couldn't be elected of color, which I still think is one of the funniest terms ever.
Quote, so I think there may be a shock that presents to some people of what does leadership look like, Wu said, because this is our city.
This is reflective of our community.
I'm not sure who she's referring to when she says our city and our community.
I know who she's referring to.
Citizens and electeds of color.
Of course.
This is our city now, Hawkey.
Get used to it.
Yeah.
Yeah, good point.
It's a triumph.
The language is triumphant, and it's audacity.
The party first reported by the Boston Herald caught international attention after a Wu administration official, on behalf of the mayor, mistakenly sent all Boston City Councilors an email last Tuesday, inviting them to a holiday party that was meant Exclusively for electeds of color prompted an apology and mixed reactions.
I would like to actually know who that Who that member of the the administration?
Oh She was named she is an employee of color.
Oh, she's a black lady.
Yeah, she's not she's not an electeds of color She's a no employee of kind of play of color.
Yeah, that's funny.
That's funny.
Um, I 15 minutes after the Mayor's Director of City Council Relations sent out the email inviting each Councilor and a guest to a holiday party at the city-owned Parkman House, the employees sent a follow-up email to Councilors apologizing for the prior email, which was apparently only meant for those who were invited, i.e.
Electeds of color.
Again, this is, this is such a funny story.
The more you think about it, this is just, this is just a symbolism.
It's a microcosm for the new America.
Um, and, uh, you know, it's, it's quite evident that white people need not apply.
Uh, you know, it's, it's, it, Boston's no longer your city.
It's our city as Michelle Wu was, uh, so, um, forthright and sane.
Yeah.
So, anyways, the story goes on.
There's not much more to say.
There were more than 40 elected officials invited.
Only three state reps and a state senator and two city councilors attended.
There's actually a pretty funny photo.
Have you seen the photo?
No.
Okay, yeah, you can see a photo of everyone around the table.
And, yeah, again, it's one of those great moments where, again, the racial reckoning that we're all living through and Persisting through.
This is just another reminder of what's coming for not just us in our lifetime, but our children and our grandchildren and what they're going to experience.
That's right.
Get used to it, Honky.
That's her message.
Her message to all of Bostonians.
Well, I think, let us talk about some poll results.
This was quite fascinating.
A majority of registered voters age 18 to 24 in the United States told a Harvard-Harris poll that they want Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians, rather than a two-state solution.
Let's go over that again.
A majority, rather than the two-state solution, And this is quite an extraordinary thing.
This is a real change in the way young people think about this.
The two-state solution is favored by 60% of Americans overall, but a majority of 18 to 24s think apparently Israel should be completely ended and given to Hamas.
60% of those 18 to 24 think the October 7 attack was justified by Palestinian grievance.
This is as opposed to 27% for the rest of the country.
53% of the 18 to 24 think students should be free to call for genocide of Jews.
That's as opposed to 26% overall.
These are pretty harsh findings.
67% of those 18 to 24 think university presidents went far enough in condemning anti-Semitism versus 38% for the rest of the country.
79%—now this is the key point—79% of those 18 to 24 agree that white people are oppressors and non-white people should be favored.
This explains the previous observations about Jews, I suspect, because 79% think white people are oppressors.
And non-white people should be favored.
This goes to show you how effective people like Claudine Gay at Harvard have been.
Yeah.
Yes.
Wow.
White people are oppressors and non-white people should be favored.
Now in the country as a whole, 35% would agree with that.
That is disturbing enough.
But 18 to 24, these are the people who have probably been educated, These are registered voters, and that is the way they vote, ladies and gentlemen.
That is the way they vote.
And I think it's important to distinguish between what is now being called antisemitism from what really is just lumping Jews in together with white people.
Yeah.
And I think people are saying, oh, look at all this antisemitism.
No, no, it's really not in sympathism of the traditional kind at all.
These people are not secret admirers of the Nazis.
They just think, well, white people, Jews are white people and the Israelis are colonists and apartheid running apart.
And so they're just lumping them together with white people.
And I will repeat this figure.
Seventy nine percent.
Of voters 18 to 24 think white people are oppressors and non-white people should be favored.
Now, this is not something simply among the young.
This is an interesting case here.
It has to do with the way the legal profession thinks about these matters.
And I don't think people who are professional lawyers are 18 to 24, but they were at one time and they've been to school, so they've learned their lessons.
In 2015, Juul Labs introduced an e-cigarette that was touted as safer than traditional cigarettes.
It was a pioneer in vaping.
And it sold about 75% of the e-cigarettes sold.
Juul Labs.
J-U-U-L.
However, the Food and Drug Administration ordered the company to stop selling vaping products in 2022.
Juul Labs faced over 5,000 lawsuits.
With most alleging the company engaged in deceptive marketing or failed to warn about the risks of its product.
Now, I don't know the ins and outs of this, but I don't like it really when people gang up on companies that are doing something that's probably legal.
Maybe they were lying about it.
In any case, Juul has since paid out billions in settlements.
Well, on Monday.
A California federal judge approved an attorney's fee award of $77 million to the plaintiffs in the litigation, adding that the plaintiffs' lawyers did a superb job, but the judge criticized the lawyers' team because there were no blacks or Hispanics involved.
This is from the bench!
The judge is saying, he said, there are women involved, that's good, but Too many whites.
You have to do better, he said.
The courts have to do better.
And plaintiff's lawyer, one of the team who apparently did a great job, plaintiff's lawyer, Sarah London, agreed.
This is a white lady.
Implicit bias runs rampant even within our own ranks, she said.
We have a lot to do as part of the Plaintiff's Bar to advance and promote and retain lawyers of color.
It is a categorical problem in our bar.
That's Sarah R. Lundin, white lady.
She went on to say, obviously the Supreme Court has made some of these efforts more difficult.
Boy, it's become more difficult to favor BIPOCs.
But As we just learned, 79% of those 18-24 think white people are oppressors and non-whites therefore have to be favored.
And here in open court, William R. Orrick, the judge who looked him up, he is a perfectly ordinary-looking white man spouting this rubbish.
It's just incredible to me.
Really?
I was about to ask you if you had looked up the judge.
I looked up the judge.
I would not have been surprised had he been a judge of color, but nope, a perfectly ordinary waspy-looking white man that just the insanity of white people is.
Just disgusting to me.
And I gather they're embarking on certain insanity in Minnesota.
But we're gonna have to cover this story rather quickly, Mr. Kersey.
Yeah, you know, we've talked about this before, how many flags of various states Still honor white colonizers, white settlers, and white people in general.
Well, Commission has now made their choice for the new Minnesota state flag.
CBS News.
The Commission in charge of choosing Minnesota's new state flag appears to have settled upon the winning design last Friday, three days after it narrowed the options down to just three.
WCCO's Caroline Cummings, who has been monitoring the Commission's deliberations, said that they honed in on submission.
It depicts a star with a blue inverse triangular field evoking the shape of Minnesota on the left side, With the right side dominated by three stripes.
Now a reason because of this is, of course, this was all because of George Floyd.
The flag calls for changing the flag and seal have been growing for years.
The proponents stating that the main image on the current flag introduced in 1957 and the seal created in 1861 includes racist imagery.
Both depict a white settler tilling the land as an indigenous man on horseback rides off into the distance.
Well, you know, I'm looking at the seal right now because I had never paid any attention to it before.
Now, the guy who is tilling the soil, you can't tell he's white.
Now, the Indian on horseback He is riding along, but the implication is that I suppose, if you looked at this, you would not think that there's anything racist about it at all.
It's to say, first of all, the guy who is telling us all doesn't necessarily quite, and the person on horseback, you figure he's an Indian only because he's got some sort of look like he's got a feather on his head.
But he doesn't look like he is suffering at all, nor does it look like he's riding off into the distance as the defeated red man.
He's just riding by on a horse.
So I think they are reading something completely wrong and George Floydian into this seal.
But anyways.
Yeah, no, I mean, again, there are plenty of other states that still have white, that still honor white people on their flag.
So I'm sure we'll see.
Well, you know, here's a different version of it.
Here, the Indian is actually riding into the field.
It doesn't look like he's being driven off by any stretch of the imagination.
So, this is an utterly phony controversy, and it looks like this new flag they're coming up with looks like, I don't know, some sort of version of the rainbow homosexual flag.
The one with the large number of colors on it.
There's been a lot of talk about how it resembles a flag from, I think it's Juba land or Jabba land in Somalia.
You know, Somalia.
There are, I think, just under 100,000 Somalians in Minnesota.
It's been pretty much ground zero for the resettlement, and a lot of people notice that it looks like one of the flags of one of the various provinces of Somalia.
Oh, great!
Great!
Well, you said we're living in a conquered country.
They're going to even wave the flag of the conquerors.
I think that, regrettably, has too much truth to it.
Wow.
All right.
Well, Minnesota, land of the free, home of the brave.
We're just doing really well these days.
