Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, and with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
Top of the afternoon to you, Mr. Kersey.
How are you?
I'm going to come in nice and soft, and I'm going to say I'm doing fantastic as we enter February, and yet another week of Black History Month has passed by, and I don't know about you, but I haven't encountered too much black history.
I encounter black history every day of my life.
I'm surrounded by it.
I'm smothered by it.
Black history?
No, no, black history.
Black history.
Well, today, ladies and gentlemen, is February 8th.
Yes, February, formerly known as February, now Black History Month, as we all know.
And it is the year of our Lord 20 and 24.
And we will start with some comments.
Now, we have a correction.
I said something to the effect that Berkeley was in Oakland, California.
It's not.
Berkeley is in Berkeley, which is right next door to Oakland.
So, I appreciate my California-knowledgeable listener for having pointed that out.
Also, last week, Mr. Cruz, you talked about the fictional character Jack Reacher.
Apparently, Mr. Kersey, you said that he is 6'2", but according to the author, he is 6'5", or 6'6", and weighs 240 pounds, and that means the mismatch in which Tom Cruise was cast to play him was even starker than you suggested, Mr. Kersey.
However, our listener goes on to say, Hollywood has had bigger gaffes recently, such as when it tried to cast a black man in the role of Roland The gunslinger from Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.
The description of Roland is clear.
He's blonde and blue-eyed.
However, we got a bit of wokeness from Stephen King in that series anyway.
There is an unfortunate black woman who's in a wheelchair because she had been pushed in front of a subway train by an evil white man to whom she refers to as a honky mofo.
Well, the idea of white people running around pushing black people in front of subway trains, that is really standing reality upon its head.
The same listener goes on to say, as for Heidi Beirich's well-fed appearance, she is the indefatigable lady at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
She used to be there.
She has started her own watchdog group.
I don't know on what terms she left the SPLC, but she is still going strong.
Our listener writes, I would like to be your comedy writer, but you guys move so fast that would probably be impossible.
But here is my quip that you could have used and might want to use in the future.
Kersey comments on her rotundity.
Taylor says she's entitled to three square meals a day.
Kersey, did you say three square or three squared?
That is pretty funny.
Finally, in your commentary on the 20 plus genders recognized by Portland State University, I loved it that in addition to gender fluid and trans fluid, which they mentioned, you added transmission fluid.
Yes, I guess that's gender number 21.
Now I wonder if car mechanics will be canceled for saying tranny fluid.
I can just see that coming up.
Yet another comment here.
Mr. Taylor's perfectly expressed response to the Southern Indian listeners' questions about why we white identitarians do not support a colorblind meritocratic schema for membership in white nations put me in mind of some equally wise words on the subject written nearly a century ago by the great H.P.
Lovecraft in A Letter to a Friend.
And I will quote three paragraphs from Lovecraft.
He wrote, and this is in 1931, the simple fact that two widely dissimilar races, whether equal or not, cannot possibly coexist in the same territory until they are either uniformly mongrelized or cast in folk waves of permanent and traditional aloofness.
No normal being feels at ease amidst a population having vast elements radically different from himself in physical aspect and emotional response.
A normal Yankee feels like a fish out of water in a crowd of cultivated Japanese, even though they may be his mental and aesthetic superiors.
And the normal Jap feels the same way in a crowd of Yankees.
Naturally, if a race wants to submit to the fantastic martyrdom of mongrelization for an agonizing period of centuries, there will emerge a new composite race and culture whose members will have attained a new homogeneity.
and therefore a new and satisfying equilibrium.
But who cares to sacrifice himself for the sake of this hypothetical future race,
a race as genuinely foreign and meaningless to him as the Peruvians would have been to the Greeks,
or as the Tibetans are to ourselves?
Good question.
And then last little paragraph.
That's all there is to life.
The preservation of a framework which will render the experience of the individual apparently relevant and significant, and therefore reasonably satisfying.
Here we have the normal phenomenon of race prejudice in a nutshell.
The legitimate fight of every virile personality to live in a world where life shall seem to mean something.
Again, that is from H.P.
Lovecraft, Selected Letters.
And this was a letter written in January of 1931.
Very wise words.
And, of course, H.P.
Lovecraft, he is admired for his fiction and, of course, reviled for his alleged racism, which is really nothing more than good sense.
Are you a Lovecraft fan, by the way, Mr. Kersey?
Yeah, we've actually we've talked about this before.
You know, Sam Francis, the late Sam Francis, who, goodness gracious, Yes, he was.
I'm not, myself.
I find his prose over decorated, it's turgid.
I don't care for him.
He was a huge Lovecraft fan.
Yes, he was.
And I'm not myself.
I find his prose over, over, over decorated.
It's turgid.
I don't care.
I know a lot of people just love him to death, but not I.
Anyway, Marilyn Mosby is back in the news, one of our favorite African-Americanist district
attorneys.
Mr. Kersey, she and I, she has provided you and me with considerable- Former, Mr. Taylor, if I could.
Former state's attorney.
She's no longer- Oh, yes.
Oh, former, former.
Definitely former.
But she has been providing us with immense entertainment for years now.
She served two terms as Baltimore's state attorney and she has not been found guilty.
This happened just on Tuesday of lying on financial documents about a luxury condo she bought at Longboat Key.
She was guilty of lying on the application form to get a mortgage on a second property, likewise, in Kissimmee, Florida.
One luxury Florida property was not enough for former DA.
And when she was found guilty, she was heard to have emitted a racking sob.
Last year, she was convicted of perjury.
I didn't even follow that trial.
And she faces now up to 30 years in prison for this mortgage fraud and another 10 for the perjury with sentencing yet to be scheduled.
Experts think it's unlikely she'll serve anywhere near 40 years, but two felony convictions mean it's likely she will do some time in the big house, which will be an embarrassment for a former district attorney.
She was, of course, a progressive whose soft-on-crime stance was blamed for soaring crime in murder-ravaged Baltimore.
But prosecutors and U.S.
Attorney's Office said evidence showed she had transferred funds from her former husband and then sent the money back to herself in a financial fraud.
Oh dear.
Her former husband, Nick Mosby, he was a Baltimore City Council president, sounds like a little self-dealing to me there too, was not charged.
Also, she failed to disclose that she owed $45,000 in federal taxes and lied and claimed to be a first-time homebuyer to get more favorable interest rates.
She also claimed a pandemic-related hardship to take early withdrawal from her retirement account, which too was a big fraud, and she used the money for non-payments on her Florida retreats.
Prosecutor Erin Zielinski says she repeatedly lied on these applications and the fact that she was the top prosecutor in the city of Baltimore and oversaw hundreds of lawyers, she should have known better.
Now, as you'll recall, probably even better than I, Mr. Kurz, because nothing escapes your steel trap mind, she brought charges against the police officers involved in the 2015 death of Freddie Gray.
Hard to believe that's almost 10 years ago now.
And this, of course, led to widespread riots and protests against alleged police brutality.
These charges against the officers were clearly politically motivated.
And in a bench trial, a black judge, no less, threw out all the charges against them.
The worst charges were against blacks.
But in any case, this is supposed to fight police brutality.
To me, her most memorable comments ever was during the Freddie Gray riots.
She famously explained that she'd ordered the police not to crack down on the rioters because she wanted to give violent protesters who wished to destroy the space to do so.
Remember that?
Oh boy, Marilyn Monroe.
I remember the Baltimore insanity that she helped foresee.
She was actually Our listeners might recall we just started doing the podcast probably about a year after that and
She was she was considered a rising star, Mr. Taylor, and the Democrat Party.
Oh, she was the she was the hot ticket.
Yeah.
And, you know, she was kind of ahead of her time.
This was even before the 2020 madness.
And she was giving protesters who wished to destroy the space in which to do so.
Wow.
She was a pioneer, one of those remarkable black women who paved the way for those who come after.
Well, you know, I think I know what her problem was, Mr. Kersey.
I think the reason she was lying on these applications and the reason she perjured herself, she was suffering from superwoman schema.
What do you think?
Oh, my goodness.
So you like this story.
This is from Good Morning America.
And this is this is one of those stories that I had to read a few times to try and figure out what exactly it was saying.
But Good Morning America reports.
That black women suffer disproportionately from superwoman schema, as you just said.
That was a new one on me, superwoman schema.
Yet another crisis in the black community.
When her first born child estranged herself from the family after getting married, Glinda Boone, 61, thought her daughter's new husband was to blame for turning her child against her.
It took Boone's second daughter Lauren, age 32, to explain to her that even though their mother and father were always physically present and provided for their children, they never felt she was emotionally present.
Her children felt alienated from her and their mental health suffered because of it, according to Lauren.
I never thought about taking care of my mental health because my generation was taught when you talk about mental health, you automatically thought mental illness.
Glinda, a marketing executive, told Deborah Roberts during a Good Morning America interview.
So far for me, it was more of a suppression from my time as a small child.
Even my emotions, you suppress them.
You suck it up.
Black women in America are disproportionately burdened with the mental health syndrome known as Superwoman Schema, or SWS.
Now, we should stop here and say this is not from the Babylon Bee.
This is not from The Onion.
This legitimately appeared, Mr. Taylor, and our listeners all across the world and the United States on a Good Morning America segment.
Well, it appeared.
I wouldn't say it legitimately appeared.
Yes, okay.
Back to this story.
It involves the perceived obligation to quell emotion, convey strength, suppress dependence and vulnerability, and to prioritize caregiving over self-care, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Superwoman Schema, or as we talked about the acronym SWS, can cause severe mental distress.
But African-Americans are less likely to receive mental health services compared to their white counterparts.
Well, tell me, are they less likely to ask for it?
Is there that possibility?
I mean, they're famous for not coming in and getting mental health because they think it's weak and white and only white people have mental problems.
But well, and as you know, as you've as you've highlighted Rushton studies and studies you've done in your own work, I believe that blacks have the highest self-esteem of any race.
They do.
Is that right?
Thus, you know, why would they even consider a mental health problem?
That's right.
Again, this was from the 2002 data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration.
Quote, everything that comes my way, I should be able to handle it, said Dr. Zoine Finzi Adams, a licensed psychologist and assistant professor at Howard University.
She said when describing the typical thought process of a person dealing with SWS.
Sorry.
Quote, and that's exhausting because no one is able to do everything.
No one is able to, and that is such a big barrier for getting any kind of support.
I'm sure this is one of your favorite bands, Mr. Taylor, the musical group Destiny's Child.
Their singer, Michelle Williams, an African-Americanist who speaks openly about her history of depression, said mental health struggles can look different and female BIPOCs.
Quote irritability is a missed symptom of depression because we think depression is just sadness Williams said
Once I started getting in therapy more consistently, it started giving me language to everything that I internalize
Glinda Boone said that her daughter suggested she find support by scheduled a first meeting with a mental health
therapist in If she didn't, she knew she was at risk of losing her daughter, too.
She said it took a while to find the right therapist and to let her guard down during therapy sessions, but once she did, Glinda said she felt a freedom she had never experienced before.
And again, she's suffering silently.
Just think how many hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of black women, Mr. Taylor, are suffering silently from superwoman schema.
Gosh, it breaks my heart to think of that.
So, irritability is part of it.
So, I suppose when we talk about resting bitch face, we're really talking about resting superwoman face, perhaps.
Do white women ever suffer from superwoman schema?
This is all very new and mysterious to me.
But, well, you know, come to think of it, Marilyn Mosby, maybe she wasn't suffering from superwoman schema, maybe she just wasn't getting enough sleep, because that too is another crisis of racism that has recently come to mind.
There's a huge article in USA Today about the problem of Americans not sleeping enough, and the long-term effects are dire, especially for black people.
As I say, another crisis has been uncovered.
I will read just part of this article.
As I say, it's immensely long, and so I tried to select only the most piquant portions.
Poor sleep is linked to a host of health problems, among them some of America's greatest killers,
most of which plague black Americans.
Are there some of America's greatest killers that completely leave black Americans alone?
Hmm.
In any case, most of them plague black Americans.
Quality sleep is harder to come by for black people with economic, social, and environmental factors all playing a role.
You feel you have to give up sleep in favor of working and taking care of your family, says one.
Hmm.
I guess white people never feel that way.
Along with heart health, poor sleep is linked with increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, as well as cognitive issues such as Alzheimer's, all of which disproportionately plague black communities.
Black adults have the highest incidence of severe obesity.
I guess that's cause for not enough sleep.
And 59% of black adults have hypertension, the highest rate among all racial groups.
Likewise, they are more likely than white adults to have strokes and more likely to die as a result.
And researchers say poor sleep is a major factor.
Wow, who knew?
Apparently, 45.4% of black adults reporting getting less than seven hours of sleep compared to 33.2% of non-Hispanic whites.
So that's 45.4 versus 33.2.
It's a major crisis.
Now, oddly enough, included in this report is data published by the CDC, which showed that Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, 47% of them don't get seven hours.
That's compared to the 45.4% of blacks.
Well, I guess we're going to get a big, fat, long USA Today article on how Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are likewise suffering from structural racism that deprives them of sleep.
In any case, racial and ethnic minorities not only sleep less than white adults, they have less quality sleep, and more likely to toss and turn, and are more prone to disorders such as sleep apnea.
More racism, Mr. Kersey.
Someone by the name of Precious Abed.
I wonder what she's like, Abed.
But Precious Abed, a 38-year-old black single mom and part-time hairstylist, juggles night shifts at supermarkets and restaurants, spends her hours spent away from work, a split between caring for her three children, including an infant daughter, and filling out applications for better paid employment.
The fact that she is single with three children is clearly not her fault.
It's the fault of white people, but apparently she has a hard time getting enough sleep.
Societal and environmental factors like racism and noise or crime-ridden neighborhoods play a role.
Noise and crime-ridden neighborhoods.
You know, it's all those noisy criminal KKK members rampaging through black neighborhoods, you know, firing shots into the air.
That keeps them awake.
And Julio Fernandez Mendoza, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral health who studies sleep Says, we believe it's racism.
Even if you have good socioeconomic status, you still experience stress and racial discrimination.
Children already experience the structural determinants that lead them to sleep poorly.
You basically go to bed stressed.
And it's our fault, Mr. Kersey, when black children go to bed stressed.
Black children are therefore much more likely to have a persistent trajectory of insomnia.
Now, this should just devastate us and lead us to meditate upon the sins of our ancestors and the likely sins of our generations yet to come.
Black adults with more education sleep worse than their peers with lower levels of education.
We speculate that it's greater exposure to white spaces and more awareness of discrimination Which requires more coping resources.
Oh my gosh, these well-off whites, the well-off blacks, they have to deal with white people and it just stresses them no end.
Oh, the poor dears.
What about white people have to deal with black people, huh?
I guess they sleep better as a result.
The overwhelming majority of black Americans in my study had no idea they had poor sleep, said Karen Lincoln of UC Irvine.
It was the way everyone around them slept.
It was fascinating, and sadly so.
The issue in black communities may have deep and dark roots, Mr. Kersey.
A vestige of American slavery when slave owners discouraged sleep in favor of labor.
Sleep was a luxury.
The sole purpose of a slave was to work and to breed.
Now, have you ever seen any study that indicated that black slaves slept less than, say, a hired hand on a New England farm?
Every account I've ever read is that a hired help in the North worked far more hours, put far more time and effort into work than black slaves in the South did.
Also coal miners, coal miners in Pennsylvania, boy oh boy, I wouldn't have traded their life for a pick of cotton.
In any case, sleep was a luxury for black slaves.
Also, listen to this.
Black and Hispanic individuals who are more likely to be saddled with student debt, another source of stress and disrupted sleep, and it's all our fault.
Then there are the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
All that stuff starts to keep you up at night.
Imagine all the moms who heard Floyd calling for his mother.
It's triggering.
Gosh, imagine all the media that wasted all that print and airtime exaggerating all of this stuff that happened to blacks.
But no, it's white people's fault.
And the article concludes, it's not race as biology, but race as a social factor that matters.
As I say, I've cut out about three quarters of this enormous article, but, you know, I guess it's like birds' names with racist names.
It's yet another terrible, triggering factor that makes life miserable for black people, and it's society's fault.
You know, if I could real quick, I have not seen a USA Today in a few years.
I remember they used to give them out at hotels, at a nice hotel.
When you would go to your door in the morning, there'd be a nice crisp USA Today sitting there for you to enjoy and peruse and see what was happening across the country.
At one time, it had the largest circulation of any print newspaper in the entire country.
Of course, I always thought USA Today, all these sort of short snippet articles, sort of like the news, the print version of TV news.
But be that as it may, I haven't seen it.
Yeah.
But anyway, I would love to know how thin the USA Today is now in terms of what exactly are they covering, except for basically, you know, Ibram Kendi's, you know, ideas he didn't want to go after at his University of Boston.
Well, there is always grist for the anti-racist mill, and USA Today is bound to find it.
Now, here's a tale of two African Americans, one of whom is our dearly beloved Al Sharpton.
Well, MSNBC host Al Sharpton used the word invasion on Monday to describe the border crisis.
Liberals found this highly controversial.
Sharpton expressed urgency and he said he was channeling people who are outraged all across the country.
You're seeing an influx of migrants that frankly has people outraged.
Says none other than Alice Sharpton.
But the border, I mean, we're looking every day at the invasion of migrants.
They're playing a time game with politics on this, Sharpton said.
Couldn't the pressure be put to bear on their home states?
In other words, keep them there?
Golly, Al Sharpton is sounding almost like you and me, Mr. Kersey.
Can this be true?
Can this be true?
But apparently he has just shocked all his liberal buddies who, like Joe Biden, think that America should be absolutely up for grabs.
And now the other African-American I have in mind is Eric Adams, who appears to think that he's Jesus.
He like, well, he at least likened himself to Jesus.
I should speak more accurately.
That doesn't mean he thinks he's Jesus.
He likened himself to Jesus.
And he claimed that critics are attacking his administration because it is largely made up of people of color.
Mayor Adams has been dealing with a migrant crisis.
Wow.
And I wonder how that happened.
And he recently faced off against the Democrat-led City Council, which overrode his veto on two controversial safety bills last week.
I know nothing about that.
But the City Council, of course, is heavily non-white.
So how can he claim that he is being attacked because his administration is largely made up of people of color?
He's also facing an FBI investigation into his mayoral campaign.
I don't know the details of that either, but I'm sure it's bound to be those racist white people who want to bring down a strong man of color.
Adams told a crowd at Town Hall in Brooklyn last week that he's under attack, just like New York City's first black mayor, David Dinkins.
And he touted his administration's diversity.
He asked his five deputy mayors, all men and women of color, to stand up and be recognized by the crowd.
Adams asked, have you ever seen this much chocolate leading in the city of New York?
This much chocolate.
Now, Mr. Kersey, if I'd said, wow, that's a lot of chocolate at the head table, would that be racist?
It's a valid question.
I've not seen his deputy mayors.
You said they're all BIPOCs.
Are they all black or are some of them brown?
I mean, they're very in shade of chocolate.
I think some of them are brown.
So there is dark chocolate, there's light chocolate, but boy, just chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
And he says, because of all this chocolate leading the city, that's why people are hating on me.
You're trying to figure out why are they hating on me, he asks.
He did not say who the haters were.
He strangely compared his behavior in the mayor's office to Jesus cleansing the temple.
Jesus walked into the temple.
He saw them doing wrong.
And he did what?
Adam asked.
He went to City Hall.
I go to City Hall and I turn the tables over.
Well, that's right.
Jesus chased out all the money changers, right?
Well, it sounds like Eric Adams has chased out all the white people.
So he is just like Jesus Christ after all.
Boy, oh boy.
It's always a laugh a minute, you know, when you got BIPOCs in the news.
But BIPOCs are in the news in a slightly different way, as a consequence of which retailers seem to be clearing out of major US cities.
You know, we've talked about this many times.
Almost ad nauseam.
But this is such an important story, because if you want to understand just how dire the situation is, I think these next two stories I'm going to talk about tell you about how bad things are.
Retailers flee cities as unarmed security public authorities fail to curb thefts.
Businesses have cited the rise of online shopping and declining in-store profits for pulling out of urban centers from San Francisco to New York, but insiders see a deeper problem.
Unarmed security staff's inability to keep employees and merchandise safe is driving away workers and shoppers in big cities with soft on-crime policies.
I believe so, yes.
Kensington, yes.
loss prevention officer who attempted to stop them from looting a Safeway supermarket in Kensington, Maryland,
Wow.
just outside the District of Columbia.
I believe that's a heavily black area, correct?
I believe so, yes.
Kensington, yes.
In December, a thief fatally stabbed a Macy's security guard in Philadelphia.
You can actually see that hero in footage.
Wow.
In April, I'm sorry?
No, no, I mean, but these are unarmed security guards?
I think that's crazy.
You get yourself in a uniform, you've got a target painted on your back, and you don't even have a weapon.
This seems crazy to me.
It's all crazy.
We don't even have to talk about what's happening to these stores.
It's just what happens when the civilization that created the ability for commerce to flourish is replaced with ones that Can't even keep open, you know, a Dollar General.
So, in April, a Home Depot security guard in Pleasanton, California, was gunned down after he caught a woman stealing.
That was actually a white male who was the Home Depot security guard.
So wait, he catches a lady stealing, she whips out a gun and shoots him to death?
That's what happened.
Okay, wow.
It's worse than I realized.
It's pretty bad out there.
I'm going to say that one more time, Mr. Taylor.
Walmart and Target, two of the biggest retailers on the planet, each eclipsed $500 million in retail theft losses last year.
So the retail giant's store closures in cities where theft has gotten out of control are no surprise, said Kristen Moss, chief ambassador for dealaid.org, which offers online discounts for more than 10,000 U.S.
retailers.
A significant number of the Target stores that closed and the Walmart stores that closed were in majority minority cities or areas.
I can't remember all the locations that in Target that closed, but I do believe there were a couple Minneapolis locations that closed and of course Target is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
So last year Target closed nine stores in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.
Over safety concerns.
Miss Moss pointed to data showing a concentration of Walmart stores with the highest retail losses in cities with the lowest prosecution rates for shoplifting.
Not exactly hard to find the correlation there, is it Mr. Taylor?
No, no, no, no.
That's statistics, basic statistics.
She said that this is a trend common among retailers and small businesses that are forced to leave areas.
Now, an analysis by J.P.
Morgan found San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and Miami had fewer retail businesses in the fourth quarter of 2023 than before the pandemic.
It's funny, I would say that there's an anomaly there.
Miami, probably because the cost per square foot to rent is getting so high because the city has so much demand for growth.
I don't think Miami is a city that's been hit that hard by crime.
I just think it's due to probably the rise in rent for retailers.
Just a lot.
More merchants are pulling out of inner cities as corporate offices order employees not to interfere with thefts.
We've talked before about what happened to the two white girls at the Lululemon store in Atlanta, Georgia, in Buckhead, actually, where they tried to interfere.
They tried to call the cops on some blacks who had stolen.
And the Lululemon CEO actually said, hey, it's our policy not to do this.
We don't want you to interfere.
And they were fired.
They lost their jobs, Mr. Taylor.
Just trying to maintain standards.
Just trying to keep civilization going.
You get fired for that.
Yeah, exactly.
Here's a couple of the key lines here.
Instead, these corporate offices have opted to absorb the losses rather than risk the liabilities of violent confrontations.
Now, as a shareholder in Walmart and Target, I got to tell you, the share price has been up and down over the past year due to $500 million for each of these companies losing in terms of retail losses.
I mean, that's extraordinary.
I mean, how can you- Half a billion dollars.
Half a billion dollars.
Yeah, it totals a billion dollars, just Walmart and Target combined.
One of the fascinating things, and I'm surprised that an enterprising person out there hasn't started a website or a Twitter account to show what stores nationwide have started to lock up when it comes to specific merchandise, such as Dove soap behind plastic shields or plexiglass, where you have to have an employee come and unlock it to be able to get it.
Or they've hired unarmed security guards and trained employees to deter theft without violence.
The trend has even reached stores that eliminated positions and converted to self-checkout to save money during pandemic labor shortages.
So, it's not getting any better anytime soon.
We know that last year Nike decided not to reopen its flagship Portland store.
Wasn't that in like Martin Luther King Boulevard or Street or Pavilion?
I believe you're right.
I think it was the oldest Nike retail store, and they had some kind of public service wing to it.
They had community service, and they were going to be there forever.
It was their oldest store.
It turned black, and now they have buggered off because they can't make a profit.
Too much crime.
I didn't know about this little aspect in the story, but apparently Walmart started a police workspace.
At an Atlanta store to discourage crime.
I'm definitely going to research that because that sounds fascinating knowing about what you know Antifa have done trying to burn down and engage in terror against the police training center there.
So you'd think that they would attack that location and not allow police to have a workspace.
That sounds like the equivalent of school resource officers.
You have a police workspace in a, what was it, a supermarket?
Yeah, in a Walmart.
We'll call them Sam Walton resource officers.
So that's amazing.
You know, major retailers have lobbied Congress to enact legislation establishing an organized retail crime coordination center under the Department of Homeland Security.
You would think that there could be RICO because you, I think you talked about what happened in Washington, D.C.
where CVS and Walgreens would be looted and then people would be right across the street selling Tide and selling various other I don't think that you could make a RICO case.
That's just plain shoplifting, plain retail theft, fencing and accepting stolen goods.
You don't need any special stuff about that.
These retailers are claiming they need to have an organized retail crime coordination center.
This could all be, this could all be stopped overnight.
I mean, look, we just saw, I don't think we're talking about it.
I don't think you have a story about the El Salvadorian president, Bukhali.
Bukhali, yes.
You do or don't?
I'm sorry.
No, I don't, I don't.
His name is Bukhali.
He just won this incredible re-election because guess what happens when you have elected officials who make life better For his constituents.
And that's what's happened in El Salvador, where they actually have, I believe, a lower homicide rate than we do.
It just plummeted.
I believe he got 75% of the vote.
This is some kind of record in a freely contested election in all of Latin America.
Maybe all of Latin and North America.
75% of the vote.
But yes, here he locked up the bad guys.
And people like it.
Surprise, surprise.
Yeah, so if we were to do what the major retailers have done in lobbying Congress, you'd basically have, I would argue, what, 95% to 98% of those who would be locked up in a targeted sting would be BIPOCs, would be black or brown people.
It would be a heck of a lot of chocolate, as Eric Adams talked about.
Yes, a lot of chocolate.
Keep those jails sweet and tasty.
It would be a lot of chocolate so that we don't have to have M&Ms behind plexiglass and with a some sort of some sort of device to make sure you don't steal them.
So, I mean, it's absurd.
And then I do want to follow up with this other story.
This one was incredible because just like a lot of our listeners might not know this, but a city like Rochester, New York used to be one of America's most important cities because Kodak and Xerox and Bosch Laume are based there, some of the largest employers in the
country, a major industry. But Rochester was hit, Mr. Taylor, by just unbelievable levels of black
criminality over the past decades, which have rotted out that city. I did not know this, but
did you know that Clorox is based in Oakland, California? Nope, I didn't know that.
Well, here's how they're going to stay in Oakland.
Clorox has hired extra security to protect Oakland employees from crime.
They've hired additional uniformed security guards to protect employees at its Oakland headquarters.
Their task was safely escorting employees to and from BART, that is the public transportation, the monorail system, parking garages, local restaurants.
BART's not a monorail, by the way.
It's a regular subway.
It's a subway.
Oh, it's okay.
I thought, I thought that they might have some monorail, but it's just the subway.
It's not a monorail.
Okay.
Local restaurants, coffee shops, according to a statement from Clorox.
Clorox.
Okay.
Give me one second.
Clorox also said it has conducted safety and awareness trainings in partnership with the BART police department.
The company said it regularly shares safety and awareness trainings in partnership with BART police and also regularly share safety messages and practices.
Quote, Oakland has been our global headquarters for more than 110 years, and we are committed to making the city better and safer for everyone.
We're actively working with local business leaders to identify ways we can collaborate to make Oakland safety for our collective workforce and the entire community.
Last week, another employer headquartered in downtown Oakland, Kaiser Permanente, issued an It's like, hey guys, there's a zombie outbreak.
We have to put it down.
during breaks and lunch hours due to safety security concerns in the area.
It's like, hey, there's a zombie outbreak, we have to put it down, you can't go outside today.
We've got to regain control.
You can't go over to the Popeyes or you can't go over to In-N-Out Burger.
Oh, you can't go to In-N-Out because it's the first store in the history of In-N-Out to ever close in Oakland.
And I just saw where Raising Cane's, which is a pretty good chicken finger franchise, they just they just left Oakland as well.
You know, this is incredible.
An employer has to hire armed guards to escort its people from the building to maybe a parking lot or the public transportation.
And then employers say to the employees, no, no, don't leave on your lunch break.
Don't leave on your coffee break.
Stick around because it's unsafe to leave the building.
What a way to live.
What a way to run a company.
What a way to run a country.
Yes.
Wait a second.
Let's go back six years.
Here it is 2024.
I believe it was 2018, maybe even 2017, Mr. Taylor, that BART decided to stop releasing surveillance images of crime because they were, guess what?
All the crime committed on BART on the subway system there was by BIPOCs, was by black people, was by chocolate.
Yes, that's exactly right.
No, they were doing that in the hope that somebody would identify these people rampaging through the subway cars, hitting people and stealing their wallets and cell phones.
But then they decided, no, no, no, the risk to the sensitive feelings of our African American fellow citizens is so great.
Far better to let these miscreants go unarrested than to hurt their feelings.
That's right.
They stopped doing it.
Now, I've not heard, I certainly haven't heard that they've started releasing those surveillance videos.
I suspect they keep them, they still keep them under wraps.
Maybe they don't even bother surveilling.
No, they keep them under wraps.
In fact, being on Twitter, you see that story circulate all the time.
In fact, I think Elon Musk actually has talked about it because Twitter is based in San Francisco and he wants to actually decamp and Head toward Texas.
And I think he even commented on that story.
Again, it's a low-hanging fruit type story.
It's like, why would the police be doing everything possible to protect those committing the crimes, those people from being identified, all because they're black and brown people?
And now here we are.
I mean, Kaiser Permanente issuing an advisory to its employees.
Every day you get a shelter-in-place order.
It's like, wait a second, this isn't the Battle of Britain when the Nazis are bombing London.
It's just black people allowed to run roughshed over the city.
Every day you get a shelter in place order. It's like active shooters.
Yeah, I guess it's the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
So what is that? 60 years to stop the That's right.
Yep, 60 years.
I'll write a story about that.
60 years, 60 years.
Well, you were not alive at the time, I don't believe, but there was all this rejoicing.
We were all going to hold hands and sing Kumbaya and all just be Americans and race is going to disappear.
Oh dear, it didn't turn out that way.
Well, Mr. Kersey, you are finished with that item because I have something to add.
No, please go ahead and add.
Well, Walgreens is now in the crosshairs.
Representative Ayanna Pressley, Democrat of Massachusetts, she railed against multi-billion dollar corporations, namely Walgreens, over its decision to pull out of her predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhood of Roxbury And she was making this speech on the House floor.
This is the fourth Walgreens to close the store in Boston in little over a year.
Mr. Speaker, says she, Walgreens is planning to close yet another pharmacy in the Massachusetts 7th District, a community that is 85% black and Latino.
This closure is part of a larger trend of abandoning low-income communities These, she said, are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination.
Life-threatening acts.
Well, as you just pointed out, you stay in the wrong places and you could get half a billion dollars a year in theft losses.
And that, of course, is obviously why they are pulling out.
In 2022, Walgreens was accused of racism by officials after it closed three other stores in mostly black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
At the time the company said, several factors are taken into account when choosing to close a location, such as the dynamics of the local market and changing in buying habits of our customers.
Changing in buying habits.
I guess the habit of buying without paying.
That is one of the buying habits that stores find the most painful.
Well, you know, we've talked very often about reparations, and I have been following the whole California reparations saga with a great deal of interest.
There have been state level, and then there have been city level, with big, big promises of huge payouts.
The state was going to give every black man, woman, and child $800,000.
San Francisco was going to give every black man, woman, and child $5 million.
The California legislature is now moving towards implementing a series of proposals after years of debate.
The bills notably do not include the most talked about feature, that is, cash handouts.
After years of batting around these huge figures, Governor Gavin Newsom recently balked at the cost.
Now, why didn't he think of that when he approved the commission to study this stuff?
Voters may think this is a bait-and-switch.
Well, if I were black, I sure would.
I sure would.
I'd be screaming.
However, in this mumbo-jumbo list of various benefits for African Americans is the restoration of affirmative action.
There's a bill from Democratic Assemblymember Corey Jackson.
No reason to point out he's a Democrat.
He would change California's constitution to allow the state to fund programs aimed at And I quote from his bill, increasing the life expectancy of improving educational outcomes for or lifting out of poverty specific groups based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, or marginalized genders, sexes, or sexual orientations.
In other words, more handouts for the past.
Californians have repeatedly rejected race preferences in education, despite being a deeply blue state and despite well-funded campaigns to change the law.
On two occasions, on two occasions, the voters of California, even super-duper Democrat Californians, the people said, none of this race-based stuff.
And despite the fact that the yes, bring back affirmative action side spent over, outspent the no vote by, what is it, tenfold?
A dozen times.
The San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is also facing the same expectations after recommendation by the African American Reparations Advisory Committee of five million each eligible black resident.
And as you know, congressional Democrats are pushing for similar federal reparations, and they managed to pass a bill out of the House Judiciary Committee in 2021, but it never got to the floor.
Even Walt Disney has gotten into the act.
I believe we talked about this.
There was a children's episode in which cartoon characters are shouting about getting reparations.
I recall some girl with a great big afro is just furious.
We need reparations.
And most recently, Representative Cori Bush, Democrat of Missouri and an African-Americanist, introduced her bill for $14 trillion.
To pay black Americans.
She had no idea where the money was going to come from.
And she just said that the source was a matter of ongoing discussions.
Well, her pal, Jamal Bowman, an African-American fellow citizen and legislator, he says, we'll just spend the $14 trillion into existence.
That's how he's going to find the money.
Now, this is the guy who doesn't know the difference between opening a door and setting off a fire alarm.
But that is a different story.
So yes, Jamal Bowman, you know, in a way, in a way, I think he has grasped the essence of American monetary policy.
And Joe Biden does this all the time.
You just spend trillions of dollars into existence.
But so long as black people get it, then he has got the answer to all of our financing problems.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story about the University of Wisconsin and their anti-white training.
Yeah, I do.
Regalish with it.
Well, this is one I don't like.
I don't like these stories, but let's just talk about it because this, of course, is not just at the University of Wisconsin, but this is in every facet of our society, whether it's corporate Fortune 100 companies or all of the elite institutions of higher learning.
University of Wisconsin Racism Seminar tells students, quote, there are no exceptional white people, end quote.
This is a mandatory orientation, Mr. Taylor, for first-year U of W Law School students, where they were denounced whiteness and ripped colorblindness as a sinister racist tool, according to reports.
The racial refresher was given last week to enrollees who had completed, excuse me while I scroll back down, who had completed a refresher.
It sounds very refreshing, by the way.
Very refreshing.
It's a refresher.
So it's very refreshing to tell white people how awful they are.
Very effervescent.
It's got a nice lemony finish.
Who had completed their first semester of instructions at the Wellry Garden Madison School, helmed by Dean Daniel Tokaji.
Students were given preparatory literature beforehand to acquaint themselves with the session's imperatives.
All these all these interesting words used to describe this racial refresher.
Imperatives.
One section reminded white students that they benefit from racial oppression regardless of their correctional efforts, and that there are no exceptional white people.
You know, the way that that sentence is framed is terrifying.
That they benefit from racial oppression regardless of their correctional efforts.
It's as if white people exist to try and correct anything that is conceivably wrong in this, in this almost Lego constructed-esque world of systemic bias, implicit, I'm sorry, systemic inequality, implicit bias, and white racism, which creates, what was the word we had?
Women, Oh, Superwoman Schema, wasn't that it?
Superwoman schema somehow.
That was it.
Yes, somehow these structures that we've erected Superwoman schema is the end result.
One section reminded white students.
I'm sorry.
Quote, you may have attended many anti-racism workshops.
You may not be shouting racial epithets or actively discriminating against people of color, but you still experience privilege based on your white skin color, the pamphlet contends.
The document was penned by Deborah Lee, lead organizer of the Community Anti-Racism Education Initiative.
Of course, of the St.
Cloud State University in Minnesota.
I'm beginning to think that most of Minnesota should just be walled off, Mr. Taylor.
Am I wrong in that?
Not most of it.
No, not most of it.
Just a few urban areas.
Most of Minnesota is still healthy, covered with nice trees, beautiful mountains, nice lakes, lots of lakes.
So, yeah, if we could just pinpoint them, just sort of pin them all up in there and don't let them out of these sort of urban areas.
Yeah, we haven't talked about this one story, but St.
Paul, Minnesota, Part of the Twin Cities, they just elected their city council and it's all women and all women of color.
Do you remember?
Did you see this story?
No.
All women and all women of color.
St.
Paul.
Good grief.
That's a state capital, you know.
It's a city that should be walled off from the rest of the state and the rest of the country.
Lee's writings, the site states, are tailored for government officials, K-12 students, and faith groups, among others, in need of anti-racist reboots.
So if there's a software patch you have to have, I guess you gotta get rebooted, Mr. Taylor, to make sure you have the latest code in you for understanding.
I guess we need to be rebooted, we need to be refreshed.
This is, as the ladies say, a never-ending journey in our attempt to become anti-racist because we can never be non-racist.
The best we can be is anti-racist if we work at it every moment of every day, as we reboot and as we refresh.
Yeah, again, these correctional efforts, it's not possible to have, I guess there's an infinite amount of correctional efforts that we must undergo.
So the document kicks off.
Oh, I'm sorry, I've got to read this part.
The pamphlet used at Wisconsin titled common racist attitudes and behaviors that indicate a detour or wrong turn into white guilt, denial, or defensiveness lists 28 potential hazards For well-meaning white people on their redemptive journey.
Redemptive, right.
The document kicks off by casting colorblindness as a tool of white racial evasion.
You know, I wonder if there's any indulgences you can just pay so that you're just automatically, you know, you've automatically self-corrected and you get your redemption.
Mr. Kersey, not possible.
This is a religion without salvation.
All white folks are damned.
No matter.
Neither faith nor works will save you.
You are going to hell no matter what because you were born that way and you cannot be cured.
That's the message.
That might be the most accurate description of what's happened since George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose underneath the knee of Derek Chauvin.
A religion without salvation.
I hope some of our astute listeners out there picked up on how profound that was.
Wow.
I totally agree with you.
The document kicks off by casting colorblindness as a tool of white racial evasion.
Colorblindness negates the cultural values, norms, expectations, and life experiences of people of color.
By saying we are not different, that you don't see the color, you are saying you don't see your whiteness.
This denies the people of color's experience of racism and your experience of privilege.
And just to put a bow around this, Mr. Taylor, another section takes aim at whites who seek to exercise their inborn racism through the embrace of new age practices like Native American sweat lodges.
While seemingly benign, the trend is in fact genocidal.
I got to sweat out my racism in a sweat lodge.
Okay.
Sorry, but you can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't sweat it out.
Let's end on an ironic and semi-humorous note.
Back to California.
Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 357, known as the Safer Streets Act, which repealed a previous law that banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution.
The bill was championed as one that would help protect transgender women from being targeted by police.
What's this?
Trannies are more likely to be out hooking?
I don't get this.
In any case, it was going to save the trannies.
The author brought forth this legislation because the crime of loitering has disproportionately impacted black and brown women and members of the LGBTQ community, the governor said.
So we're getting rid of standards for all the usual reasons.
We're going to have to be nice to our pets.
Now, Mr. Kersey, prostitutes brazenly walk the streets in skimpy outfits.
With SB 357, the whole industry is emboldened because they know nothing will happen, says a San Diego business owner.
And with the busiest border crossing here in San Diego, sex trafficking is out of control.
You, as a parent, will be concerned to know that parents are having to explain to children why at 7.30 in the morning, as they're being taken to school, there are two women in G-strings shaking their butts and showing their breasts and trying to get vehicles to stop.
Yeah, that would be an interesting conversation with your third grader.
Residents will try to park in the street where a prostitute is standing and she refuses to move and curses at the driver.
When a John has stopped in the middle of the street trying to make a deal and backs up traffic, cars behind will honk their horns.
What happens?
A prostitute walks over and hits the car and yells at the driver.
They're disturbing business.
San Diego Police Chief David Nislett told local media that the repercussions of this law were all predictable.
All so predictable, he said.
And now we've got shootings, we've seen stabbings, Other areas in California have seen prostitutes walking down the streets in skimpy outfits, including in Oakland, where pimps reportedly stationed prostitutes outside a Catholic grade school last year.
Very enlightening.
A road in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District is lined with prostitutes.
In San Diego, complaints ranging from sexual noises disturbing church services to people having sex in cars.
A youth Bible study group was previously located next to a particularly noisy area, and I believe they decided to have a change of venue so they could concentrate on the Bible.
And remember, this is called the Safer Streets Act.
That is modern-day California for you.
So, on that uplifting note, Mr. Kersey, we must remind people how to get in touch with us.
Uplifting was an amazing word to use to describe that story.
Uplifting!
Uplifting!
Yes!
Now, we'd love to hear from you, especially if we jump the tracks and say something wrong, which we occasionally do.
I, more likely, than Mr. Kersey.
Or, if you want to call our attention to other stories that we have missed, please go to amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, and hit the Contact Us tab, and you can send a message straight to me.
Or, because we live here, at protonmail.com. Once again, all one word, because we
live here at protonmail.com. And one last thing, Mr. Taylor, the event that Mr. Taylor is
going to be speaking at in April, the VDARE conference, it's sold out.
So we'll give you information on how you can watch a live stream in the coming weeks.
But thank you to anyone who heard this and decided to join us.
Mr. Taylor is going to be joined by some of the heaviest hitters on the right.
It's going to be the event of 2024, I believe.
OK, well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
It is always a pleasure and honor to be with you.
And we look forward to doing the same next week.
