Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance. | |
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, with American Renaissance. | |
And with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey. | |
And today is the 1st of February, Year of Our Lord 2024. | |
My time doth fly. | |
It's already February of the New Year, and I can barely keep up. | |
Well, we're going to start with comments from listeners. | |
And a listener writes in to say, my wife and I enjoy listening to you weekly. | |
It makes us sick when we see our government lying to the public and when we see the D.I.E. | |
agenda around us everywhere. | |
On the bright side, I'd like to tell you about a YouTube channel by the name of The History Lounge. | |
It shows America as it used to be with decent European men and women, politeness and pride. | |
God bless you both. | |
Well, I had never heard of the History Lounge before, but there is such a channel on YouTube and it is exactly as this listener describes. | |
Had you ever heard of the History Lounge, Mr. Kurz? | |
I must confess, I had not, but I'm always glad when we have, always very, very happy when, ebullient even actually, if I could use that great word, when we have one of our listeners Educate us on something we didn't know about and any any podcast or any anything happens all the time happens all the time at least for me for mr. Kersey I'm educated frequently by our listeners and it's always good to have something nice sent our way and pointed to something encouraging Yes, indeed Another comment. | |
I'm writing about your recent podcast bye-bye honky-tonk That had to do with the coming minority status of whites. | |
It always seems to be coming earlier than experts thought the year before. | |
And the listener goes on to say, when I first started listening to your podcast in 2018, I very strongly disagreed with you. | |
However, your gentlemanly and impeccably fact-based conduct won me over. | |
Wow, 2018. | |
This fellow has been listening to us for a long time, Mr. Kersey. | |
He goes on to say, I found your podcast to be refreshingly different from the politics as spectacle approach of Fox, The Federalist and similar outlets. | |
Thanks to you, I read up on race differences and I now consider myself a white identitarian. | |
Wow, another one of us. | |
In Bye Bye Honky, you mentioned a rumor that a certain CEO of a famous company is a transvestite and you joked that you passed along the rumor in a spirit of complete irresponsibility. | |
I could not help but notice the contrast with the gentlemanly and impeccably responsible approach which initially caught my attention. | |
Ouch! | |
Ouch! | |
O mea culpa! | |
I think this listener is entirely correct. | |
I've got no business passing along rumors in a spirit of complete irresponsibility. | |
I shall try to go and sin no more. | |
Thank you, listener, for pointing this out, and I am humbled, and I shall try to do better. | |
If I may, Mr. Taylor, the video that is being discussed in this letter, it's not a secret. | |
It's, I believe, the United Airlines CEO who is partaking in a drag show. | |
Is this now known to be a fact? | |
It's known to be a fact. | |
And as somebody who is a United shareholder, I have sold my shares because it's one of the airlines that has pledged, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, to try and hire 50% BIPOCs or women That's true. | |
By 2030? | |
No, no. | |
It's from here on out. | |
Their plan is 50% of every one of their freshman pilot classes is going to be women or non-whites. | |
That's right. | |
If I could give you a quick anecdote real quick. | |
I grew up in an area where the airline was one of the major industries. | |
And at that point in the mid-80s, 90s, this is before my time, but I would learn about this from my friends. | |
Whose fathers were Air Force officers or naval officers who flew or even army officers who flew planes and that's who this major airline recruited from. | |
That's that's gone the way the Dodo again. | |
It's these airlines here. | |
I'll throw it a name for you Carlton Putnam who I think is one of the great white men of the 20th century. | |
He was, I believe, the president of Delta Airlines. | |
Am I not mistaken? | |
That's correct, Delta Airlines. | |
Yeah, Delta Airlines, they had as their standard operating procedure, they tried to recruit exclusively out of the military. | |
And just an impeccable, incredible professional appearance. | |
When you flew standby, If you're a family member, you had to wear a, if you were a male, you had to wear a tie and a jacket flying standby. | |
If, if your, if your family member was Philly with Delta and the girls had to wear dresses, of course, that's all gone. | |
Now decorum is completely gone as we've seen the egalitarianism just infect every aspect of our society. | |
And yeah, it's, it's just a shame. | |
Yep, yep. | |
Well, I guess I wasn't being so irresponsible after all. | |
If, in fact, what I passed along was true, but I had no grounds for making that statement other than a rumor that I had heard. | |
And so I believe my listener's point still stands and I will bear it in mind. | |
Our next comment comes from someone who writes, I'm from the southern part of India and from a relatively affluent background. | |
My friends and I engage in discussions on a wide range of topics. | |
Nothing is off-limits. | |
In one such conversation, the question of eugenics arose, and a friend suggested I watch your video titled, Let's Break a Taboo. | |
I found it courageous of you to address such a controversial subject, and I was impressed by the content. | |
I found it brilliant. | |
Well, thank you very much. | |
I looked you up on YouTube and came across your speech titled, Prospects for the New Century. | |
Well, that was when the century was new. | |
And our listener goes on to say, it struck me that you have been engaged in this discourse longer than I've been alive. | |
Well, that's entirely true. | |
While I hold different views from you on immigration, and I align more closely with the libertarian principles, I admire your dedication to advocating for what you believe is right. | |
I have a question. | |
Why not simply adopt an elitist stance? | |
It's clear there are intelligent, morally upright individuals of every race, just as there are those who lack those qualities in every race. | |
Given the trajectory of the European population, I struggle to understand why you don't focus more on individual merit rather than racial identity. | |
I mean no offense. | |
I simply seek to gain a better understanding of your perspective. | |
Well, no offense taken at all. | |
I think this is an ideal sort of letter. | |
Someone who has a different point of view, but doesn't just run from the room screaming the way almost all white people do, asks a polite letter, why do you think this rather than that? | |
Well, I will give my answer, Mr. Kersey, and then I'll be curious to hear yours. | |
In other words, why don't we simply concentrate on quality? | |
Look for high IQ, morally upright people of all races. | |
And to try to fill the country with people like that, and try to live around people like that, completely ignore race. | |
Well, I have a twofold answer perhaps. | |
It's because I am genetically close to white people. | |
These are my large extended family. | |
My largest immediate loyalty is to people of my biological race because they are my distant kinfolk. | |
And just as I love my children more than I love your children, Mr. Kersey, delightful though they are, it is natural for us to love our own families more than the families of others. | |
We can have a great affection for them, but our family comes first, and in the largest sense, the white race is my extended family. | |
It's a biological kinship that is extremely valuable to me. | |
Also, it is this biological group that created the culture in which I am the most comfortable. | |
There can be high IQ Indians or Japanese, morally upright Africans. | |
They, I do not believe, will participate in Western civilization with the kind of authenticity as the biological heirs of the people who created that civilization. | |
So there is a distinct loyalty to our civilization as well as to our biological substrate. | |
At the same time, I think white people are, at least in certain cases, well, certainly worth preserving simply because of our appearance. | |
I think a beautiful blonde woman is probably, at least in my estimation, the supreme aesthetic expression of human beauty. | |
If all we care about is IQ and being morally upright, we will be genetically swamped. | |
We are minority. | |
We will disappear. | |
And I believe that just as it's worthwhile to maintain species biodiversity, our subspecies, the white race, has an intrinsic value, and that is profoundly important to me. | |
And so for those two reasons, a biological loyalty to my kinfolk, An attachment to my culture, which I believe only my biological kinfolk will carry forward in a meaningful way, and also my respect for biodiversity and my appreciation of what I believe to be the uniquely beautiful qualities of my race. | |
That is sufficient for me, for my loyalty, my primary loyalty to be to my people, to my biological family, rather simply to the abstract fact of human quality without regard to race. | |
So, would you add or subtract anything from what I've said, Mr. Kersey? | |
I'm going to simply say that was a powerful right hook and a left jab directly to the heart of the question, but I'm going to add this. | |
I don't understand why it is unique among white people and our Again, Australia is a colony of the Anglo-Saxon people, as is the United States. | |
We allowed the other European nationalities to come here. | |
Same thing with South Africa, same thing with Rhodesia. | |
Why is it only that white people must believe that we should allow merit to be the primary driver of immigration? | |
Why shouldn't China? | |
Uh, if the United States is falling due to diversity, inclusion and equity, why shouldn't China have to absorb high IQ whites fleeing the United States? | |
Why shouldn't the Middle East? | |
Why shouldn't African nations? | |
Why shouldn't India? | |
You know, a nation, India, where we know... Mr. Kersey, they might. | |
They might. | |
I suspect there are nations which we would consider generally uninhabitable. | |
But if you showed up being high IQ, being morally upright, and you even brought a little bit of money with you, they'd be happy to have you. | |
They wouldn't care. | |
Hey, look, I'll tell you, according to the way the Western media is Writing these crazy articles about the president of El | |
Salvador for cleaning that country up and making it one of the safest places on earth all because he's locking | |
up gang members and the journalists there are whining about that fact that gang members | |
Aren't free to rape and pillage and commit crimes against El Salvador and citizens. That seems like a pretty good | |
place to go Well, I'm not about to abandon the United States. Yeah, | |
never mind my My ancestors have been here for 300 years. | |
We're going to slug it out. | |
In any case, Mr. Kersey, there's a comment that is directed straight to you, and so I know absolutely nothing about this, so I'll leave it to you to answer. | |
Will you cover the Ricky Cobb story on next week's show? | |
Another person treated like a victim, another white hero prosecuted for doing his job. | |
So as I said, I know nothing about this, so please enlighten me. | |
Yeah, this is really easy. | |
This is another case in Minneapolis where a black guy, a black criminal, was shot by a white police officer. | |
And the white police officer in question just appeared in court. | |
And according to Fox 9 News, this was published three days ago, Minneapolis' Fox affiliate, he's ready to fight the charges. | |
So I'll just be brief, because I think we all know what the charges are. | |
A Minnesota When I'm referring to the state trooper, I'm referring to the white man who's in question here. | |
A white Minnesota state trooper is free on a set of court-imposed conditions that does not include monetary bail after making his first appearance on a murder charge in the deadly traffic stop shooting of Ricky Cobb II, who's black, Mr. Taylor. | |
Trooper Ryan Longregan did not enter a plea Monday. | |
Excuse me one second. | |
He had lots of law enforcement support inside and outside the courtroom as those close to | |
him raised safety concerns. | |
Trooper Lon Regan's legal team has indicated they are gearing up for a courtroom fight | |
questioning the county attorney's use of a grand jury in the case demanding the charges | |
be dismissed. | |
Lon Regan and his attorneys stopped in front of the gathered news media outside the public safety facility to thank supporters and question why county attorney Mary Moriarty did not consult with a use of force expert before charging Lon Regan With second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter, and first-degree assault. | |
Okay, do you know anything about what actually happened? | |
There is video you can watch, and here is where we're going to get into it, if I may. | |
Quote, so on September 19, 2023, the county attorney started this case by saying that they had retained a use of force expert, and that use of force expert was critical with respect to the charging decision. | |
Last week we found out Trooper Ryan Lonn-Reagan was charged and they did not use the use of force expert. | |
Standing beside me is about 100 current and former police officers. | |
Here are a bunch of use of force experts. | |
All she needs to do is email me and I will hook her up with one. | |
The deadly traffic encounter unfolded in July of 2023 on I-94 in North Minneapolis. | |
I've been on that highway. | |
Troopers pulled over Cobb early in the afternoon hours because his taillights were out. | |
Now, it's funny, Mr. Taylor. | |
I thought Minneapolis was one of those cities that had actually made it impossible to pull over people | |
with infractions of that nature because of the racial bias and implicit. | |
Because primarily blacks are the ones who have the taillights out. | |
So you can't do anything if it's gonna infringe They can, and he did. | |
He did. | |
Correct. | |
Correct. | |
Cobb refused to exit the vehicle. | |
He was wanted on a standing order for protection violation. | |
When Lon Regan and a fellow trooper attempted to pull him from his car, he appeared to set the vehicle in motion. | |
Lon Regan fired twice. | |
My brother is the hero, said Octavian Ruffin, Cobb's sister, following his brief court appearance. | |
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
The guy who got shot is a hero, says his sister. | |
Yes, of course. | |
Octavia Ruffin. | |
They're looking for a big payout from the taxpayers in Hennepin County. | |
The Cobb family, including his mother and father, attended the hearing with civil attorney Bakari Sellers. | |
Quote, I want justice for my brother. | |
We are coming respectfully. | |
We don't want any drama, no violence, no nothing. | |
Trooper Reagan came and went with his wife. | |
Now, if you remember, in the case of the officer in the George Floyd situation, forgive me, his name is Derek Chauvin. | |
Derek Chauvin's wife divorced him right away. | |
Oh, she dumped him immediately. | |
Yep. | |
This guy's wife, to his everlasting credit, Derek Chauvin, I believe, had a non-white wife, by the way. | |
She was a Hmong beauty queen. | |
Don't marry a Hmong beauty queen, you police officers out there. | |
There's a misnomer. | |
Hey, come on, come on. | |
They're bound to be pretty monk girls. | |
After you had just extolled the beauty of the European people. | |
No. | |
Anyways, Trooper Lon Reagan came and went with his wife. | |
He said nothing to either the judge or the media. | |
His attorneys, though, have raised concerns about the safety of him and his family in the days since he was charged. | |
Mr. Taylor, do you remember that white police officer in Minneapolis or somewhere in Minnesota Yes. | |
Oh, I'm not surprised. | |
inadvertently pulled her gun on the guy instead of the stun gun. | |
I've forgotten her name. | |
Yes. | |
Forgot her name. | |
Do you remember they had to erect a fence around her house to keep her safe? | |
Oh, I'm not surprised. | |
I'm not surprised. | |
So you never, yes, you do your job. | |
See, this is why I say being a police officer in the United States, certainly in any substantially | |
non-white city, is the most difficult job in the world. | |
I think those people are heroes, and I am amazed at anybody who still signs up for the work. | |
And every police officer tells me recruitment is extremely difficult. | |
Okay, well we'll keep an eye on this Ricky Cobb story, and we will hope that justice is done. | |
Whichever way the cookie crumbles, I hope that justice is done. | |
I'd like to end on this note. | |
Uh, in one earlier filing that has since been withdrawn at the state's request, lawyers documented online threats seemingly directed at the white trooper. | |
They provided the court with a ring doorbell video purportedly from the law and Reagan house in October. | |
It appears to show a vehicle pulling right up in front. | |
Followed by a barrage of flashes, they believe it is someone they do not know taking photographs of the house. | |
So that's the perilous situation we find ourselves in. | |
Or white officers find themselves in for simply trying to uphold the law. | |
That's right. | |
That's right. | |
Okay, we'll keep an eye on him. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, these are sad times. | |
These are very sad times. | |
There's been more accusations of plagiarism at heart. | |
This time it's Harvard University's Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. | |
She's been hit with dozens of plagiarism allegations. | |
Wow. | |
Oh, I'm afraid that's true. | |
I'm afraid that's true. | |
I have a dream. | |
I have a dream, Mr. Kersey, that someday black people will stop committing plagiarism. | |
But this is a dream deferred. | |
The Ivy League School was handed an anonymous complaint just on Monday listing at least 40 examples of alleged plagiarism by Sherry Ann Charleston, dating back to a decade before she started working at Harvard. | |
She quoted or paraphrased a dozen scholars without attribution in her 2009 dissertation at the University of Michigan. | |
Apparently, she also took credit for a study that her husband, LaVar Charleston, wrote in 2002. | |
In her 2014 article that was written two years later, published in the Journal of Negro Education, she had the same findings, the same method, and the same survey descriptions as her husband's original article, original paper, without any kind of attribution. | |
Now, Lee Jusson, He's a very interesting guy, as a matter of fact, a social psychologist at Rutgers University. | |
He is quoted here, interestingly enough. | |
I wrote a review of a fascinating book that he wrote, but Lee Jessen, J-U-S-S-I-M, look him up on the Ameren website. | |
He says, you cannot just republish an old paper as if it's a new paper. | |
He says, if you do, it's not exactly plagiarism. | |
It's more like fraud. | |
Ha ha. | |
Well, we will recall that when the New York Post initially took claims of Claudine Gay's copying other people's work to Harvard, the university denied them and brought in the legal attack dogs and threatened to sue for immense damages. | |
Oh dear, oh dear. | |
Well, we will see if this diversity guru-ess will survive the charges. | |
So stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen, and we will see what happens within the ivy-wreathed walls of Harvard. | |
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story on Chris Ruffo. | |
I'm surprised you're not mentioned in the story, Mr. Taylor. | |
Chris Ruffo is one of the heroes of the day. | |
I'm going to keep this one very quick. | |
This is from A nefarious, no-good newspaper out of the United Kingdom called The Guardian. | |
Activists who led ouster of Harvard president linked to a scientific racism journal. | |
Oh no. | |
Rufus has links to a self-styled sociobiology magazine that is focused on the supposed relationships between race, intelligence, and criminality. | |
Links? | |
Links? | |
Does he actually read the magazine? | |
Is that the problem? | |
Links? | |
I'm not quite sure, but experts have characterized as an outlet for scientific racism. Oh my gosh, | |
as if those words are so just, ooh, spooky to mention. How dare people even dare consider | |
these ideas. At the time of reporting, I'm not actually familiar with this. | |
I hope I get this correctly. | |
Aporia? | |
Aporia. | |
Oh, it's a great magazine. | |
Beau Weingart edits it. | |
Very smart guy. | |
Very smart guy. | |
Very good dude. | |
Very good guy. | |
And Nathan Kaufman, I believe he's affiliated with it too. | |
I agree. | |
That's correct. | |
So Aporia is one of 19 Substack's newsletters Rufo links to in the recommended section on his own newsletter, which according to Substack has more than 50,000 subscribers. | |
He's appeared on a Porya's podcast which has published flattering interviews with proponents of scientific racism and eugenics. | |
Oh my goodness, does it cite any of these wicked people? | |
It does. | |
But it makes sure to point out that Rufo is a close ally of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who, by the way, he's a lot better now that he's not running for president and he doesn't have to have a bunch of consultants wash and make sure that his messages are ready for the masses. | |
He's been very good on Twitter recently. | |
So Heidi Beirich, a co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, said, quote, Rufo was hanging around with some seriously nasty people. | |
You can't claim that this is a casual relationship." | |
End quote. | |
Now, I know you know Heidi quite well, so... Oh, she's my big hero. | |
She's my big hero. | |
She pays so much attention to me. | |
I think she makes a living just keeping track of people like me. | |
Well, she definitely is a big... She definitely is a big hero if you're referring to a corpulent nature of her heroism, but... Oh, no, no, no. | |
I know. | |
I know. | |
She's entitled to three meals a day. | |
It's five or six and a cheat meal six or seven times. | |
At the time, Aporia's newly appointed executive editor, Beau Weingart, commenced his tenure with an article titled, Human Biodiversity, A Moderate's Manifesto, in which he discussed purported evidence that human populations varied intelligence as measured by IQ tests partially because of genes, genetics. | |
According to the SPLC, human biodiversity gives its name to both a movement and research paradigm. | |
That is the latest iteration of a long tradition of scientific racism. | |
Oh no. | |
Yeah, so I'm just going to list a couple of the names that Winegard cites that according to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon makes Chris Rufo a huge believer in what? | |
Oh, he's a scientific racist. | |
He's a scientific racist. | |
That's all there is to it. | |
Just because he reads Aporia Magazine. | |
Or at least he recommends it, even if he doesn't read it. | |
Isn't that all we know? | |
That he recommends Aporia to his readers? | |
That's all we know! | |
And then Heidi Beirich cites all these people, draws all these conclusions. | |
Wow, she is really a talented girl. | |
Yeah, it's as if he's read The Origin of Species and he's like, oh wow, wait a second, maybe I should read Francis Galton next, Charles's cousin, the father of eugenics. | |
But anyways, Basically, he says that, okay, I'm sorry, the Guardian says, well, wait a second, you know, wine guard sites, Richard Lynn. | |
And, uh, you know, wait a second. | |
They also cite a Poria editor, Noah Carl, man. | |
Oh my gosh. | |
One of the outlets that Carl's published in his mankind quarterly, which was. | |
Founded to make scientific racism respectable respectable According to the writer Angela saying any and then another | |
venue open psych. It's a platform established by Emil Kierkegaard a self-described eugenicist who explicitly | |
advocates race science and who serves the senior fellow at the Ulster | |
Institute for Social Research an Organization once headed by the late Richard Lynn and then | |
they also mr. Taylor this Guardian article calls Charles Murray, who according to the SPLC is a white | |
nationalist. | |
I didn't know that. | |
I thought he was married to an Asiatic woman. | |
Yeah, he is. | |
But he's been at the center of repeated controversy since 1994, when his book, The Bell Curve, argued that class differences in the United States are determined by IQ. | |
So, again, Murray and his late co-author Richard Herrnstein has drawn | |
extensively on Richard Lynde and other authors at Mankind Quarterly. | |
So if you're talking about some sort of diagram, I guess it all starts with the Mankind Quarterly | |
and then it goes all the way down to Chris Rufo after seven or eight steps. | |
Just two or three steps at this rate. | |
OK, well, gosh, it's nice to know that Heidi has not hung up her boxing gloves. | |
She is still in the ring punching that tar baby. | |
Go, Heidi, go! | |
Speaking of pugilism, if I may, you know, Mr. Taylor, it ends with a reference to Steve Saylor. | |
And I'm at liberty to discuss this because I'm one of the main people putting this, going behind the scenes to put on this amazing event in April. | |
But I have it on good authority. | |
I'm going to be there. | |
You're going to be there. | |
And Steve Saylor is going to be at the April 26 VDARE conference in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, April 26 through the 28th. | |
There are only a few tickets available. | |
Just so everyone knows, this is going to be the preeminent conservative right of center event. | |
I'm not talking about our ideas, Mr. Taylor. | |
I'm saying this is going to be an amazing event. | |
You're going to have Amanda Milius, the daughter of the director John Milius, who was part of the Trump administration. | |
You're going to have Anthony Ocumia is going to be there, formerly of Anthony and Opie, who currently works with Gavin McGinnis. | |
You're going to have Owen Scheuer, who was who was part of Infowars. | |
He's basically Alex Jones's number two. | |
Well, can you can you give our listeners a website to go to? | |
Mmm, just go to vdr.com and then look at conferences or events If you want to come again, this is a this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity To rub elbows with some of the great heavy hitters on the right and it's a couple months away and it's two hours away from Washington DC and Jared, mr. Taylor is going to be speaking with some of the more Incredible conservatives and right-wingers out there. | |
So again, VDare.com. | |
You can find the information there under the conference tab or events tabs, and I encourage you guys. | |
It's going to sell out in the next couple days. | |
This is your opportunity to have some quality time with Uncle Jared. | |
Uncle Jared. | |
I'm not Grandpa Jared yet. | |
All right. | |
Well, let's see. | |
A state representative from Chicago has introduced legislation that would prohibit police officers across the state of Illinois from stopping motorists for having expired plates, tinted windows, improper lane usage, and even speeding up to 25 miles per hour over the limit. | |
If you go more than 25 hours, then, you know, then maybe the police can stop you. | |
Now, John Slaughter, he's the chair of the Illinois State House Judiciary Criminal Committee. | |
So I guess he knows what he's talking about. | |
And his legislation states that any evidence of criminal wrongdoing discovered during a prohibited stop could not be used in any legal proceeding. | |
So his law would prevent pulling folks over from failing to display license plates or stickers. | |
You can drive around without plates. | |
Isn't that great? | |
Or having expired registration, not wearing a seatbelt, defective bumpers, excessive exhaust. | |
You could be filling the street with smoke. | |
Who cares? | |
Defective mirrors, can't see out the back window. | |
That's okay, too. | |
Now, Mr. Kersey, I tried to get to the bottom of why he is doing this, but all I could get from use accounts was that he is doing this. | |
No explanations. | |
No explanation. | |
Now, we do have a clue. | |
Mr. Slaughter is heavily melanin enhanced. | |
He was also one of the lead sponsors of the controversial SAFE-T Act, which went into effect in September and ended cash bail in Illinois. | |
That means it's a revolving door. | |
No cash bail. | |
Commit one crime, into the police station for booking, and then out maybe that same afternoon. | |
So my guess is that he wants to stop the kind of thing that led to the Ricky Cobb case. | |
He doesn't want people stopped for these, oh, merely speeding 25 miles per hour, not having license plates, because it's more likely that black people, his co-racialists, are going to be caught up in that law. | |
So he wants an end to police stops for this reason. | |
That's just my guess. | |
I mean, pure speculation here, but I think I'm on pretty firm ground. | |
Now, this is a story from a confused lady in Mississippi. | |
A Mississippi mother was toting her shivering toddler dressed only in a diaper around the Walmart parking lot in below freezing temperatures. | |
Cambria Gabrielle Darby, age 26, an African-Americaness, was charged with child neglect after police found her at 10.30 a.m. | |
Several shoppers at the Byram, Mississippi location confronted Darby as she made her way both through the store and around the parking lot. | |
At one point, she stopped at the freezer aisles and tossed a bag of frozen vegetables at the shivering child. | |
When she was spoken to, she turned around and delivered a vulgar rant. | |
I think we can imagine it. | |
Pausing only to twerk. | |
How do you like that? | |
Well, when Miss Darby was arrested, she compared her treatment to the way Jesus was treated. | |
They did Jesus the same way. | |
He felt sick to his stomach as well. | |
He didn't want to go through with it. | |
She's like Jesus. | |
Well, a listener writes in to say, the mother obviously thought that she was in Africa, but it was Mississippi. | |
And the two are so easily confused these days. | |
He's looking for all the reasons to understand why this lady behaved as she did. | |
Now, another news story. | |
And this is a new report from the Centers of Disease Control, CDC. | |
Apparently, cases of syphilis increased nearly 80% to more than 207,000 cases between 2018 and 2022. | |
to more than 207,000 cases between 2018 and 2022. | |
80%! | |
80%, nearly doubled. | |
And moreover, and this is really tragic and awful, in 2022, there were 3,755 reported cases | |
of congenital syphilis. | |
That's babies born with syphilis in the United States. | |
This reflects a 97 percent, I'm sorry, a 937 percent increase over the past decade. | |
A tenfold increase, Mr. Kersey. | |
Congenital syphilis. | |
Imagine starting your life with syphilis that you got from your mom. | |
The report added that racial and ethnic minorities are most disproportionately affected with syphilis due to long-standing social inequities that often lead to health inequalities. | |
So attention black folks, it's never your fault. | |
It's never your fault. | |
You give each other syphilis. | |
It's due to racism and long-standing social inequities that lead to health inequalities. | |
And attention white folks, it's your fault if black people don't use condoms. | |
It's your fault. | |
Now, the report goes on to say the stigma surrounding Sexually transmitted diseases can also keep people from seeking care. | |
And it buries the truth that all people deserve quality sexual health care, says the CDC's Division of STD Prevention. | |
And did you know, did you know, Mr. Kersey, that in the 1990s, the United States nearly eliminated syphilis. | |
It was gonna be like smallpox. | |
Almost gone! | |
But I guess racism has just come raging back since the 1990s. | |
And so our black brethren and sistren are coming down with this dread disease. | |
Ouch. | |
You know, I may look, I may check into the whole CDC report. | |
I looked at it briefly. | |
It's full of lovely graphs and it covers, besides syphilis, all of the sexually transmitted diseases. | |
And boy, the statistics are all there. | |
So I'm even thinking of making a video because it's got so many pretty graphs and so much interesting information on demographics, race, and sex, and everything else. | |
I'll have to check with my with my handlers to see if I should do a video on it. | |
Yeah, you know, it's funny that adjective pretty is not how I describe those graphs. | |
I'm talking about the graphs, not the subject. | |
I'll tell you what, guys, here's some advice to all of our all of our all of our single listeners out there. | |
One of the first questions you should ask a date that you're on, gentlemen, have you ever had relations with a I'm sorry, a black male, a black male. | |
No, no, no, no. | |
Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me. | |
What I'm saying is that basically if you look at the CDC statistics, Mr. Taylor, it's basically black women and black females who are keeping alive these STDs and are seeing just the crazy augmentation. | |
And just the black black black males are doing their part believe | |
There are no slouches They are no slouches. | |
Well, so let's see. | |
I believe you have very sad news. | |
We have to sing a funeral dirge for the original In-N-Out Burger, do we not? | |
Fascinating story. | |
Have you ever actually been to In-N-Out Burger? | |
I've never been either in or out, no. | |
I mean, what's special about it? | |
I'm not so crazy about burgers anyway, but why are In-N-Out burgers better than McDonald's burgers? | |
You know, I don't have the answer to that. | |
I hope one of our listeners out there who lives across the Mississippi, in a state where In-N-Out burgers are predominant, people swear by these. | |
I actually just read a story. | |
Oh, I just read a story where Boise, Idaho, or some city in Idaho just opened their first In-N-Out burger. | |
Mr. Taylor, there was an eight-hour wait. | |
Really? | |
At the drive-thru. | |
Yeah. | |
No shooting, by the way. | |
No shootings. | |
It was all civilized, good people just wanting to get a burger and fries. | |
Wow. | |
And they were willing to wait eight hours? | |
Yeah. | |
It was a continuous line. | |
So here's the story. | |
I've not lived. | |
Good. | |
In-N-Out Burger has shuttered its first location in its 75-year history. | |
Due to wave of violent crime. | |
Wow. | |
It's been there for 75 years, this In-N-Out Burger store? | |
Well, no, it's closing its first location in its 75-year history. | |
So this location might not have been there. | |
I don't know how long it's been in Oakland, but in the entire history of the In-N-Out Burger franchise, they've never closed the store? | |
Wow. | |
And that's a heck of a laudatory record, by the way. | |
I'll say. | |
Boy, these In-N-Out burgers must be delicious. | |
Huh. | |
OK. | |
I've been to one in Arizona, and I will say it was quite good. | |
I want to say there was a Bible verse, actually, on my cup of Coke or something. | |
But anyways, so they're closing the one in Oakland due to a wave of car break-ins, property damage, theft, and robberies affecting customers and employees alike. | |
Well, no, no, no. | |
Oakland, I mean, that's all you need to say really. | |
I've been in Oakland. | |
I mean, that's all you need to say, really. | |
Have you spent any time in Oakland? | |
I've been in Oakland. | |
Berkeley is in Oakland. | |
I've been in Berkeley, too. | |
Holy cow. | |
My goodness. | |
But no, proceed, sir. | |
Yeah. | |
The fast food burger restaurant in a busy corridor near the Oakland International Airport. | |
It's going to close on March 24th because even though the company has taken repeated steps to create safer conditions, our customers and associates are regularly victimized. | |
Denny Warnick, the chief operating officer of In-N-Out Burger, said in a statement, He then went on to say, quote, | |
we feel the frequency and severity of the crimes being encountered by our customers and associates | |
leaves us no alternative. | |
Now, Oakland has seen a spike in property crime and robberies throughout the city, | |
located across the bay from San Fran, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. | |
The In-N-Out slated for closure is in a busy corridor that attracts travelers heading to the airport | |
and baseball fans who attend A's games at the Coliseum. | |
Now, you might not know this because you don't care about professional sports, but the Oakland A's, one of my favorite franchises, actually grew up You're right. | |
I don't know and I don't care. | |
and Jose Canseco and Dennis Eckersley in the late 80s, early 90s, they're actually moving | |
to Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, as have the Oakland Raiders. | |
You're right. I don't know and I don't care. | |
Well, the two big sports franchises have now vacated Oakland, and a lot of that is due, | |
Mr. Taylor, to criminality. | |
Now I care. | |
Now you care, due to black crime. | |
That's what the story doesn't mention. | |
I mean, again, it's Oakland. | |
I want to say it's a very interesting demographic city. | |
I want to say it's roughly, it's like 26% white, 25% black and like 25% Hispanic and maybe 19% Asian. | |
It's a very weird polygot population. | |
Well, part of it is there's an area, I think it's the Oakland Hills. | |
That is very quite high tone and quite desirable and full of white people and Asians. | |
Now, there are a lot of parts outside the Oakland Hills that are full of BIPOCs that white people and Asians are trying to separate themselves from with a lot of security systems. | |
Okay, well, you know, I've got the stats right here, thanks to the miracle of the Internet. | |
And would you know that the largest percentage is actually whites? | |
33% white, only 22% black, and Asians are 15%. | |
So the rest would be Hispanics, I suppose. | |
But whites are a minority, one third, but oh boy, I can see there's a segregation map here. | |
Ooh, it's very heavily segregated. | |
Good for them. | |
Yes, those 21% black areas are probably, well, we'll just say they're insalubrious. | |
Yes, please proceed. | |
Is that the end of the story on In-N-Out Burger? | |
After your word of the day, beautifully done, by the way. | |
Since 2019, police have logged 1,335 incidents in the vicinity of the restaurant on Oakport Street, more than any other location in Oakland. | |
So basically, you have the only In-N-Out Burger, which again, this is a very good burger franchise. | |
This is a step above You know, your Hardee's, your Carl's Jr., your McDonald's, your Burger King. | |
It's a very good place. | |
You'd enjoy a nice meal there, Mr. Taylor. | |
But anyways, that number includes nine robberies, two commercial burglaries, four domestic violence | |
incidents, and 1,174 car break-ins all near this location. | |
So that's bad for business. | |
Bad for your employees. | |
It's probably hard to keep employees at a place like that. | |
It's bad for civilization. | |
It's bad for everything. | |
You're right. | |
Very bad. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, I have relatively good news. | |
I'd say two cheers for Judge Wendy Beetlestone. | |
Wendy Beetlestone. | |
She's in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. | |
She ruled this month that former Penn State Professor Zach DiPiero had reasonable grounds to keep alive a lawsuit against Penn State because of its DEI practices. | |
Now, this would have been the initial stage. | |
You file a suit. | |
And, of course, the defendant says, oh, there's nothing here, Judge. | |
Just dismiss the case. | |
She's saying, nope, nope, nope. | |
We're not going to dismiss it. | |
She says that the DEI policies at the college essentially forced his resignation, and she agreed that he has a plausible case that he was subjected to a race-based hostile work environment. | |
Imagine that! | |
Charlotte DiPiero at least has a reasonable case, the full merits of which remain to be adjudicated. | |
University professors specifically told him, quote, to incorporate race into his grading in a way that will penalize white students academically in the base of their race. | |
She says it is incontrovertible that Penn State's DEI director, quote, sent an email to all employees calling on all white people to feel terrible because of their own internalized white supremacy. | |
You know, this is the kind of crazy stuff that a university DEI director will say. | |
Email to all employees. | |
Hey, white people, you should feel terrible because you've internalized white supremacy. | |
Boy, if that doesn't make a hostile work environment, I don't know what does. | |
Of course, I would just laugh that off, but some people take it seriously, I guess. | |
The university also required DiPiero to attend conferences or trainings that discussed racial issues in essentialist, determinist terms, ascribing negative traits to white people or white teachers without exception, and that flowed inevitably from their race. | |
Well, these, of course, that's the basic tenet of critical race theory. | |
Whites are by nature bad. | |
There are no exceptions, as I believe we're going to find out in a moment. | |
Before we celebrate Mr. Kersey, Judge Beedlestone wrote that training on concepts such as white privilege, white fragility, implicit bias, or critical race theory can contribute positively to nuanced important conversations about to form a healthy and inclusive working environment. | |
Well, no, Judge Beedlestone, they can't. | |
In other words, you can badger white people about white fragility and white privilege. | |
You just have to be a little bit nicer about it. | |
I think she should attend one of these sessions. | |
I agree. | |
In any case, as I say, I think we have to grant two cheers for her. | |
She's at least going to let the trial proceed. | |
And let's hope a jury of Mr. DiPiero's peers actually hear what goes on in universities | |
these days. | |
I agree. | |
I agree. | |
OK. | |
Now, you know, Somali immigrants, they're such wonderful people. | |
I guess you've heard about Omar, Ilan Omar. | |
She was caught speaking Somali to a group and she was saying that her number one loyalty, not the United States, but it is to Somalia, the Somali people. | |
She's number one Somali, number second. | |
A Muslim, etc., etc., but I'm not talking about her now. | |
I think she's been sufficiently talked about. | |
This is another one of her Somali types. | |
This is a 33-year-old first-generation Somali-American doctoral student, a doctoral student, at the University of Texas. | |
On the night of September 3rd, she reported an aggravated assault, claiming that an unknown man threw a brick at her. | |
She said an attempt at kidnapping was made, accusing the supposed attacker of human trafficking. | |
She sparked so much sympathy and online outrage that she raised over $40,000 for the GoFundMe campaign. | |
She said she was attacked by a black man. | |
Strikes me she has a real lack of imagination. | |
A black man. | |
And she was walking down the street because and she was attacked by this black man. | |
She was walking down the street because she wouldn't give him wouldn't give him her phone number. | |
Well, I guess that's perfectly believable. | |
You know, a black man asks a black woman for her phone number. | |
She says no. | |
Black man throws a brick at the woman. | |
I guess that happens often enough for people to give her $40,000 in sympathy money. | |
However, investigators discovered inconsistencies in Osman's stories through eyewitness accounts and security video. | |
The footage showed Osman and the accused man engaged in an argument with Osman herself, wielding an unknown object and striking the man. | |
Uh-oh, uh-oh. | |
So she's going to be charged with filing a false police report and defrauding people on the GoFundMe campaign. | |
This is not the first time that Ilhan Omar's co-racialist and co-nationalist has faced allegations about contacting a tall tale. | |
In 2020, she raised money through a GoFundMe campaign for another phony assault, using the same story about a black man hitting her. | |
Oh, boy, lack of imagination. | |
You know, you've got to blame white people. | |
Then you get twice, three times the money. | |
And this, apparently, was all bogus, too. | |
Now, this is the part that I like best. | |
This sort of didn't-do-nothing attitude. | |
Even doctoral students, even doctoral students. | |
And, of course, when Claudine Gay was accused of prejudice, I'm sorry, not prejudice, of plagiarism, she took this didn't-do-nothing attitude. | |
She defended her version of events. | |
She says, a victim who gets hit over the head shouldn't have to remember all the details. | |
Yeah, I guess when you hit on the head with an imaginary brick, you forget that you made the whole thing up. | |
So there you go. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, I believe there is a fascinating hate crime in Iowa that you are going to tell us about. | |
Iowa. | |
Yeah, here we go. | |
You know, This one shocked me because I thought about how many monuments and statues were defaced, destroyed, vandalized during the sort of George Floyd after the Derek Chauvin encounter back in 2020. | |
You know, I live right outside one of those cities where all those glorious monuments and statues have been removed by the mayor and then by an act, just a disgusting act that brought down one of the most beautiful statues on the planet. | |
This one was hard to read and it's going to be hard to talk about because a Christian vet who beheaded a satanic statue at the Iowa State Capitol has been charged with a hate crime. | |
And all these other people, you know, Wikipedia has a remarkable page that lists every single monument that was destroyed, defaced, or taken down by the cowardly city fathers. | |
There are more than 200, I think there are about 250, all during this BLM stuff. | |
About 100 of them were Confederates, and then the rest of them were various white people. | |
But in any case, thank goodness for Wikipedia sometimes. | |
They do useful things. | |
They do. | |
I've never heard... I mean, perhaps I'm wrong. | |
Maybe there were some people who got arrested for trying to tear down a Columbus statue, but I sure didn't hear about it. | |
And if they got arrested, it was just a slap on the wrist, you know, citation, and off you go. | |
No, that was legitimate. | |
That was legitimate and welcome rage. | |
Justice, justice denied. | |
Justice must be had. | |
But sorry, I keep interrupting you. | |
I beg your pardon. | |
No, it's funny you say that because the statue in front of the former Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, Alabama, was defaced back in 2020 and the | |
County prosecutor said there were no charges they could file against the people who did it. Yeah. So there you go | |
Michael Cassidy he's been he's a white man who has been charged with a hate crime for beheading a statue of Satan | |
at the Iowa at the Iowa Capitol | |
He drove up to Iowa after the satanic display was erected in the state capitol and he took it down. | |
He's going to be arraigned on February 15th in 14 days. | |
Polk County Prosecutors. | |
I wonder if that's named after James K. Polk. | |
Anyways, Polk County Prosecutors charged Cassidy with a felony third degree to criminal mischief, saying he had acted in violation of individual rights under Iowa's You mean defacing, being against, if you insult Satan, if you deface a Satan, that's a hate crime, huh? | |
Apparently so. | |
Is that a race? | |
Is he a particular race? | |
Is he a physical disability? | |
I wonder how he figures. | |
How does Satan figure as a hate crime victim? | |
Anyway, that sounds creative. | |
Yeah, well, Mr. Taylor has been charged with a misdemeanor fourth degree criminal mischief the day after the beheading, but had been informed that he may be liable for further charges. | |
The spokesman for Polk County's Attorney's Office, Lynn Hicks said, evidence shows the defendants made statements to law enforcement and the public indicating he destroyed the property because of the victim's religion. | |
This is what resulted in the hate crime charge. | |
Oh, religious. | |
Okay. | |
It was a religious attack. | |
All right. | |
I understand. | |
I beg your pardon. | |
Silly me. | |
Yeah. | |
Hicks further elaborating on how much it would cost to replace the statue of, is it Baphomet? | |
That's correct pronunciation, correct? | |
What? | |
Baphomet, the statue of Baphomet. | |
Oh, I've never heard of this guy. | |
Well, that's a synonym for Satan, or Lucifer, or Beelzebub, or Mephistopheles. | |
Baphomet, I believe. | |
Okay. | |
Constructed by the Satanic Temple, which would be between... Apparently the statue only costs $750 or $1,500. | |
Yeah, not a lot of not a lot of wealth went into the erection of this statue of the devil. | |
But the extremely litigious satanic temple has has filed their own damage estimates saying it would cost $3,000 to replace the statue of Baphomet. | |
Cassidy, former military officer who ran for Congress, pushed over and decapitated the statue of Baphomet. | |
I'm sorry, it's Baphomet, I believe is the correct pronunciation. | |
Which had been put up by members of the Satanic Temple of Iowa. | |
They had been given permission for the display. | |
And again, Cassidy discarded the head of Baphomet in the trash. | |
Quote, my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not the bureaucratic decree. | |
And so I acted, he said at the time. | |
He subsequently raised $84,000 for his legal defense on Give Sin Go. | |
And Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk's org, has pledged $10,000 to help. | |
He actually spoke at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest in Phoenix only last month, saying the statue was an abomination. | |
Well, I'm not really very sympathetic with people who destroy public statues. | |
I think people should not get away with it scot-free. | |
And if this was on private property and these people had a right to put it up, but just because he doesn't like Bahamut doesn't give him the reason to knock his head off. | |
That's my view. | |
But the contrast here with the people who got off scot-free for destroying beautiful, beautiful monuments for obviously racial reasons, no hate crime charges there, that's what's significant to me about this story. | |
Well, if memory serves correct, you and I walked Monument Avenue in Richmond only a few days after the Jefferson Davis statue had been illegally pulled down on their monument. | |
And we saw the graffiti that adorned the Jackson Oh, disgusting. | |
I took a lot of photographs. | |
I wrote quite an article about it. | |
Richmond has fallen, fallen to the enemy. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, did you know that Portland State has released its latest LGBT directory and it classifies people according to 20 different genders? 20. | |
Now, the list is a project of the university's Queer Resource Center. | |
Well, it's certainly living up to its name, isn't it? | |
So, you know, there's usual stuff, genderqueer, transpersonal, non-binary, non-binary, transmasculine, there's genderfluid, transfluid, maybe transmission fluid, genderqueer, Then there's one called All None Just Me, and then there's something called A Queer Saul Chad, S-A-U-L-C-H-A-D. | |
Then you might be a lesbian sapphic, or you could be a lesbian with an exclamation mark. | |
You could be a demisexual, a demisexual panromantic, a Bambi sexual, Bambi sexual, like that. | |
I wonder if that's someone who thinks he's a little deer. | |
And then, you know, if you can be a Bambi sexual, it seems to me you should be a Dumbo sexual, if you think you're an elephant. | |
And, you know, I think you could work in every one of the seven dwarves. | |
You could be a grumpy sexual, and a dopey sexual, and a sneezy sexual. | |
I think some people might even call me a happy sexual. | |
That's the name of one of those dwarves. | |
But 21 different kinds. | |
Bambi sexual. | |
I mean, take your pick. | |
Non-binary trans masculine. | |
I think that's pretty nifty. | |
And then, I guess we've got time enough for the latest... I pick none of the above. | |
None of the above? | |
None of the above? | |
You mean, you're just a boring old plain old man? | |
Oh my god, oh my god, that's just so 20th century. | |
That's so, I mean, that's 11th century. | |
Ah, dear. | |
Oh dear. | |
If it's antiquated, call me antiquated. | |
Whatever. | |
Yes. | |
Well, this is kind of an old story, but I think it's quite interesting. | |
A woman by the name of Carolina Chino. | |
Who is a 26-year-old model born in the Ukraine and moved to Japan at age 5 and raised in Nagoya. | |
She was crowned Miss Japan. | |
She is the first naturalized Japanese citizen to win the pageant, but her victory has reignited debate on what it means to be Japanese. | |
While some recognized her victory as a sign of the times, Others said she does not look the way a Miss Japan should. | |
And I agree. | |
She doesn't look like a Miss Japan at all. | |
She looks like a Ukrainian. | |
And her win comes nearly 10 years after Ariana Miyamoto became the first biracial woman who became Miss Japan. 2015. | |
Back then, with a Japanese mother and a black father, Miss Miyamoto's victory raised eyebrows about right up to the ceiling about whether or not a mixed-race person was eligible, but at least she was half Japanese. | |
Now the fact that Miss Shino has no Japanese ancestry at all has upset people. | |
The reaction generally is, okay, she's beautiful, but this is Miss Japan. | |
Where's her Japanese-ness? | |
And others said her win was sending the wrong message to others in the country. | |
I think Japanese people naturally get the wrong message when a European-looking person is called the most beautiful Japanese. | |
What's going on? | |
Others questioned whether choosing the Ukrainian-born model was a political decision. | |
If she were Russian, says one Twitter user, no chance she would have won. | |
Obviously, the criteria are now political. | |
What a sad day for Japan, says one. | |
Well, I tend to agree. | |
You know, she may be beautiful, but she's, in my book, she's just not Japanese. | |
She can be naturalized. | |
She can speak Japanese. | |
But the idea that a Ukrainian, no matter how gorgeous, turns out to be Miss Japan, I just don't see. | |
What's your view on that, Mr. Kersey? | |
You know, it's funny, when I first looked at her, I thought, why, is she, like, partially Japanese? | |
Nope, not a bit. | |
No, it turns out that, yeah, you're right, she's, uh, she's actually, I believe I found out that she was, uh, she's, she's, she's, uh, she's Jewish-Ukrainian, so. | |
That's right, Jewish-Ukrainian, yep, that makes her even less Japanese, I don't know, maybe more Japanese, less Japanese, but no, there you go, a Jewish-Ukrainian girl is now Miss Japan. | |
Well, as usual, Mr. Kersey, Our cup runneth over with things to talk about, for our time runneth under, and as the time peters out. | |
We really do love to hear from you, and I should have mentioned this earlier. | |
You can get in touch with me at amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, and click on the Contact Us tab, and I love to hear from people who realize we got something wrong, and people have interesting questions, like that fellow from South India. | |
That was a fascinating, very interesting question. | |
We'd love to hear from you. | |
Well I like to hear from people who say we got something right. | |
That we said something interesting. | |
We always get something right. | |
Come on! | |
Or that they have some really great stories they want to share with us. | |
Like the one about the officer in Minneapolis. | |
Thank you for our listener for being so forthright and not allowing us to forget that story, because I do believe that will be an interesting story to follow in 2024. | |
You can email me because we live here at ProtonMail.com. | |
Once again, the email address is because we live here at ProtonMail.com. | |
And again, I want to tell all of our listeners, go to VDare.com, look up conferences. | |
You get the opportunity to see Mr. Taylor speak in a very different environment than the New Century Foundation. |
