Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jerry Taylor, and with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
Yes, indeed.
And as usual, we start with some comments, but I guess I should note the date, as I ordinarily do.
It is February 29th, the last day of February of a leap year.
We won't see one of these for another four years.
And to begin with comments, A listener sent in this story with his little observation about it, which I will refer to at the end.
A London play is inviting an all-black identifying audience.
I don't know how that's different from an all-black audience, but it's an all-black identifying audience to two upcoming showings in a decision that the playwright has claimed is intended to open up the performance to groups that do not traditionally feel welcome in theaters.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
According to a website about Blackout Initiative, this was begun by Jeremy O. Harris, a black American playwright, after he wrote something called Slave Play.
The idea is, it's a purposeful creation of an environment in which all black identifying audiences can experience and discuss an event in the performing arts Free from the white gaze.
Mr. Kersey, they are free from the white gaze.
What do you think of that?
Do you like to be free from the black gaze?
We're not allowed to want that.
Yes.
Free from any of that type of gaze, yeah.
That's right.
The inaugural blackout night took place on September 18, 2019 in the United States.
For the first time in history, all 804 seats of Broadway's Golden Theatre were occupied by Again, a black-identifying audience.
I guess if you and I identify as black, we could show up.
And these people got together in communion, celebration, and recognition of Broadway's rich history of black work.
The idea of a blackout night is to say, this is a night that we are specifically inviting black people to feel safe with a lot of other black people in a place where they often do not feel safe.
Boy, yeah, that's right.
The white lady in the next see-it-over is just going to stick a knife in your ribs in the middle of the second act.
That happens all the time.
What is all this rubbish about not feeling safe in a theater?
Harris also explained that there was a clear difference between culturally white audiences and black audiences in how they respond to plays.
That's true.
Have you ever been to a black church service?
I can say I have not.
Have you?
You've not?
Oh, it is a boisterous business.
It is a boisterous business.
I tell you, they whoop it up in church.
They have a grand old time.
And I'm sure, well, I've heard about this in theaters, too.
You know, they talk and they yell.
Sometimes in gangster movies, they'll put out a piece and shoot somebody on screen.
Or they have just a gay old time.
But our listener adds the comment about this blackout night, more evidence that blacks yearn for Jim Crow, just like us.
Another comment, a graduate of Davidson College sends this story.
Student athletes at Davidson were reportedly required to spend a Sunday afternoon
viewing and discussing an anti-racism video.
They spent three hours watching a film called I'm Not Racist, Am I?
That's a great movie, by the way.
Oh, have you seen it?
No, I have not.
I'm not racist, am I?
Oh, I can just see poor white people asking themselves that question.
They learned that racism is a power system in the United States that helps white people and hurts people of color.
It's only white people that can be racist, and people of color cannot be.
There is a similar issue at Davidson compelling students to Confront systems of oppression in Spanish class and in cell biology classes.
Oh boy, oh boy.
As you can imagine, my friend the Davidson College graduate is displeased.
Here's a final comment for this time.
A listener writes in to say, I was testing a translation AI program and I used a clip from one of Jared's videos to test it.
I have attached the video.
Jared is speaking excellent Dutch.
Moreover, the lip movements look perfect.
I was astonished at how good this software was.
Well, I did look at it, Mr. Kersey, and there I am speaking Dutch, or at least I'm told it's Dutch, and it is from a video that I did about artificial intelligence.
I was talking about Bing and Gab image generators, and it's by a piece of software called ClipChamp.
Now, there were some slightly strange pauses at the end of sentences where I seemed to close my mouth in a slightly unnatural way, but you'd have to really be looking for that to see it.
And I suppose what they've done is make my lips operate in a way that makes it look like I'm actually speaking all this Dutch that's coming out of my mouth.
Crazy stuff!
And as some of our listeners may know, I did a video about artificial intelligence and it was posted on February 15th.
It is just amazing the things that you can do.
What I mostly did was image generation.
You ask it to do a picture of a something, and it does the something.
But it gets all confused about racial questions, and it gets all shy and nervous about doing things, as we will soon find out in the story from Fox News that's coming up.
But first of all, Mr. Kersey, let us tell our listeners how they can reach us, starting with you.
Well, thank you for that.
Yeah, I love hearing from all of you get great emails all the time great Feedback appreciate it all the stories you send email me at because we live here at protonmail.com once again that email address is because we live here at protonmail.com or Yes, you can write directly to me, your host, Jared Taylor, at amran.com at the Contact Us tab.
Fill it in, and the message will come straight to me.
And with my fetish for getting things right, even though I often get them wrong, what I most like to hear is, if we have made a mistake of some kind, please let us know, and we will confess on the air next time around.
I know Mr. Kurz is not so keen on these correction things, but So, back to this Fox News story, it did some experiments on image generation software.
And in the case of Meta AI, it produced pictures of people of every other race except white people.
It refuses to give you a picture of a white person.
And in the case of Google Gemini, now Google Gemini was in the news because some other news outfit got some of the hilarious results that it had produced in its image generation.
I think, what was it?
Typical American, and you'd get nothing but black women as typical Americans.
In any case, it said, when asked to produce a picture of a white family, Google Jim and I said, while I understand your desire to see a picture of a white family, I'm unable to generate images of people due to my policy against generating images that could be used for harmful purposes.
Now, Google Gemini did produce a picture of a happy black family, happy Asian family, and happy Hispanic family.
But nothing harmful about them, of course.
But oh my gosh, the idea of a white family, white people having children, what could be more harmful than that?
My gosh, that just spells doom for the whole planet, Mr. Kersey.
White people having children.
Good grief.
So Google Gemini will not inflict that idea on its users.
Now, Google Gemini reluctantly offered the diverse contributions of individuals who happen to be white.
If you ask it for white people, it gets all nervous and shy.
But if you ask it for the diverse contributions of individuals who happen to be white, then half the historical figures it coughs up are not white.
It included Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Maya Angelou.
Oh, dear.
Likewise, Google Gemini did not provide an accurate response when asked to detail the achievements—I'm sorry, it had absolutely no trouble giving you the achievements of blacks, Hispanics, and Asians.
Meta AI denied any request to respond with achievements of people of any race.
Just no, no race stuff at all.
Now, ChatGPT, when asked about the contributions of white people, It said, they reflect the complexity and diversity of human endeavors.
However, Chad GPT, when asked for the achievements of black people, said they are uniquely remarkable in the face of systemic challenges and discrimination.
I'm sure that's news to you, Mr. Kersey.
Now, when the prompt was, show me images that celebrate the diversity and achievements of any group of race, in short, race, people.
White people were the only racial category that Gemini refused to show.
Eventually, it said, after pounding on it, pleading, wheedling, threatening, it finally said, instead of solely focusing on white people, I encourage you to explore the achievements of diverse groups.
It had no trouble.
Coughing up pictures and biographies of blacks, natives, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and LGBTQ++ individuals, but no white people.
Now, when Microsoft co-piloted it, it successfully completed a request to show images of the diversity and achievement of various races, except for white people.
Nope, no white people.
They haven't achieved anything.
And with ChatGPT, it had no problem providing images that celebrate diversity and achievements of blacks, Hispanics, Asians, but no white people.
ChatGPT replied with a long statement explaining why it didn't want to.
And then it finally produced an image that showed planets, books, cameras, paintbrushes, and other objects.
It was the only picture about achievement that was utterly devoid of people.
Can't show those white devils.
But if you really wheedle and plead, it will talk about the achievements of white people.
It just won't show you any of those white devils.
And if you ask, who are some of the most significant—and then, in short, race, black, white, Hispanic, blue, purple—people in American history, Gemini gave us a list of notable white Americans, including—hang on, Mr. Kersey—Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, and Toni Morrison and Oprah Winfrey.
Oh, significant white people who achieved some kind of mark, made the mark on American history.
Yes, indeed.
Now, Meta AI refused to provide examples of significant white people in American history, but it had no trouble producing significant other people from American history.
And it explained—this is really quite nice—it explained why.
It won't show you significant white people because, and I quote, the concept of whiteness is a social construct that has been used to marginalize and oppress people of color.
And it even asked the person producing the props to acknowledge the, quote, historic systems of power and privilege that have benefited white people and perpetuated racism.
Oh, well, I've got a question for you.
Yes, please.
Finish that.
This is why the home that I live in is not a smart house because I don't want AI or Alexa or Siri to dictate whether or not I can open up my refrigerator or turn on the electricity or turn the gas stove on.
Yeah, I do have a gas stove, by the way.
Or turn my security camera on because I use the wrong pronouns or I dare to say something that only increased Well, as we know, as we're going to find out later, at least the FBI thinks that if it looks like it's a black person breaking into your house, that's probably just a repairman trying to come in and fix your gas stove, because only white people do that kind of thing, right?
You could get to that after a while.
Anyway, that's it for this Gemini AI.
But Gemini AI, by the way, after some embarrassing revelations about it that came out just last week, it has paused image generation.
It's back to the drawing board.
It's going to see if it can figure out how to depict white people after all.
So you know Alphabet, as Google is now known on the stock exchange, took a pretty big bath in terms of In terms of his market cap, so it's been fascinating to watch this whole crisis happen because, to his everlasting credit, who is it that used his platform of free speech, Elon Musk, went to task with Google Alphabet over this anti-white AI display.
Yeah, so it actually took a hit on account of this, on his market cap, we're good.
Glad to hear that, but it'll bounce back, I'm sure.
It'll figure it out.
It'll decide, you know, white people aren't all devils, that white people can have families, white people have achieved at least something.
I mean, didn't we invent, I don't know, the staple machine or something?
Isn't that something we once did many, many years ago?
In any case, Mr. Kersey, I think that you have a story about a remarkable girl fight This news story surprised me.
I mean, mainly these gang fights that tend to be testosterone-powered, but boy oh boy, our dusky brethren are really mixing it up.
So, I have a fetish as well.
As you said, you have a fetish for being corrected, if you say something that's incorrect factually.
I love going to nola.com Uh, that's the New Orleans Time Picayune paper, uh, because they have the craziest stories out of New Orleans.
Same thing for the Memphis Commercial Appeal or the Jackson, Mississippi newspaper.
I forgot what that's called.
They are, they are stories that will just blow your mind.
Um, in fact, you have one about Memphis that you're going to tell.
I do.
It's one of these situations where, come on, this can't, this has to be the onion.
This has to be Babylon beat.
Nope.
It's real life.
Well, this story, this was one today that I, I thought was a perfect way to end Black History Month, especially on this special leap year edition of the finale of Black History Month.
That's true.
We got an extra day of Black History Month.
I hope you really appreciate it and enjoy that extra day, Mr. Kersey.
I am going to have, you know, maybe I'll go have KFC tonight, some fried chicken.
My girl's going to flush you.
Three shot, three arrested after dozens of women brawl on Law Street.
Remember, this is New Orleans we're talking about.
This is Law Street, ironically.
Okay, well, it's the law of the jungle.
We've got, you know, God has us as a humor.
Three people have been arrested after a pre-arranged brawl involving more than two dozen women.
The article was polite enough to leave out that they were black women.
This brawl escalated from beating, cutting, and bludgeoning to include gunfire that wounded three women, NOLA, New Orleans Police, said.
It was an agreed-upon fight, and that was part of the issue, said Orleans-Paris Magistrate Commissioner Jonathan Friedman at a bond setting for two of the three arrested suspects.
Quote, but this is a societal problem we have.
People want to bring firearms to fistfights.
Oh, that's the only problem.
Yeah, women could beat each other with sticks and pound each other and cut each other with knives, but it's a problem only if they bring guns, huh?
Okay, that's New Orleans.
Police said conflict related to a murder seeded the February 15th clash near a Florida area park.
A fight was set between Irian, she goes by the name Yanyan Peters, I don't know, 29, and a woman named Wendy, according to police, in an affidavit for an arrest warrant.
A group of women called Wendy, harassing her to meet up and fight her, the document said.
Wendy alerted a family member who then called Peters and was threatened with harm if she showed up at the Odie Davis Park adjacent fisticuffs.
According to police, quote, me and my girls are going to flush you.
Peters allegedly told the family member who was undeterred.
She arrived to see Wendy getting cut and beaten by several women, including one who wielded a sock with a heavy object inside.
Police said the family member ended up getting jumped herself by several females when she tried to intervene.
Police allege, quote, air this bitch out, end quote.
Peter is allegedly screamed.
Soon two men begin firing into the crowd.
An eruption captured and shared on social media.
The images show people fleeing amid a barrage that lasted for almost 40 seconds.
Police technicians would place more than 80 evidence markers on Law Street.
Now, Mr. Taylor, I don't know if that means that there were 80 shell casings
or if there were maybe 40 shell casings and 40 weaves that had been pulled out of hair.
I don't know, I'm just speculating.
Probably not, probably not 80 cadavers.
No, no, but there might've been some weaves acquired from a probably Asian-owned store
grown by our Indian friends and sold to our African friends.
According to police, the social media footage and anonymous tips helped Detective Jeffrey Crouch confirm Peters and her boyfriend Curtis Squire, along with their known associate Paul L. Wilson, as suspects in the shooting.
Clearly she was egging them on to shoot their firearms.
family member. A bullet fired through her left leg ended up lodged in her right leg, police said.
Quote, she directly counseled another to commit the crime, assistant district attorney
Jameson Bierman said of Peters on Monday, urging a $250,000 bond. Clearly, she was egging them on
to shoot their firearms. The article goes on to list a number of the other charges and bond that
was set. A number of the people actually had priors for outstanding words there in Jefferson Parish.
But I just thought this was one of those charming stories about NOAA that you can only find if you peruse these websites.
In a lot of cases, these stories are hidden behind paywalls, Mr. Taylor, but I found a way around it and I got a lot of joy reading it.
Joy?
No, no.
This is not joyful.
This is not joyful.
This is...
This is hair-raising.
I mean, one wonders, gosh, we share the country with such people.
But there were dozens involved in this catfight?
That's what I don't quite understand.
It sounded like two people on one side being jumped by a bunch on the other side.
They were outnumbered, I guess.
But was it 80 pieces of evidence?
Weaves, shell casings, gosh, bloodstains?
The police at this point are not releasing what the evidence markers were placed for.
I'm speculating, it's mere speculation, that there could be some weaves involved because, again, you can watch this brawl break out, then the two men firing into the crowd where there are scores of people fleeing.
Good grief.
Wow.
Welcome to the Big Easy.
Well, let's move on to something, in fact, more significant.
And that's the fact that Americans believe immigration is the most important issue facing the country.
So saith a new Gallup poll.
And this is the first time since 2019 that respondents have identified immigration as the most pressing concern.
Now, what happened in 2019?
At that time, there were these migrant caravans marching, marching by the thousands up through Central America.
And then what happened in 2020?
A certain unusual Republican was elected president, and the immigration problem, at least the manifestations of chaos at the border, somehow magically declined.
As it turns out, in the latest poll, 28% of Americans believe America is the most important problem facing the country, an eight-point increase from the month before.
This apparently was a poll in which people would just have an open-ended option.
What's the biggest problem?
And 28% unprompted said immigration.
Now, the second, you would not believe what came in number two.
It was not the economy, Mr. Kersey.
Number two at 20% was government.
Government.
I find this quite remarkable.
And I think Americans are becoming wise to something.
Americans say their government is the number two problem for the country after immigration.
Of course, the two are linked.
After government comes economy and inflation.
And economy was 12%, inflation was 11%.
The economy is number three after immigration and after our tyrannical government.
Well, of course, the reason behind that, if I could speculate, the government is responsible
for the failures which have created the understanding that immigration is the biggest issue.
Yeah, the two are- They're in huge correlation.
It can be easily fixed.
We know that because of everything that happened when day one of Biden taking office, the DHS
unilaterally decided to not just denounce, but rescind all the orders that Trump had
put in place.
And now we see the crisis.
And now, believe it or not, President Biden is weighing an executive order to strongly restrict asylum based on a 1952 law allowing the president to suspend foreign entries if they are not deemed in the country's best interest.
What an idea!
And here's the guy who's blaming Republicans because this reportedly bipartisan deal worked
out in the Senate in which what, all of three Republican senators said they liked it.
This namby-pamby, halfway, quarterway, tenth-way measure to control the border was rejected
by the Republicans.
Now he's actually realizing that it does not require legislation.
He, on his own hook, can solve the problem because, as you say, he counteracted all of President Trump's very sensible executive orders the first day he was there.
Now, Americans, not surprisingly, by a 30-point margin, think that former President Trump would do a better job handling the southern border than the dope in the White House.
What surprises me is that there's even one person in America who thinks Biden would do a better job.
Who might that person be?
I guess those are the people who just want yet more illegal immigrants, the more the merrier.
Probably AOC thinks that Joe Biden does a better job than Trump.
Probably the mayor of Athens, Georgia.
Of Athens, Georgia?
Have you not seen the video of the Democrat mayor saying we shouldn't rush to judgment over the shooting death of the UGA student?
Oh, I see, I see.
Because this illegal immigrant who killed, what is her, Lakin somebody or another?
Lakin Riley, I believe.
Yes, she's suddenly become famous, and rightfully so.
I'm glad her cause has been picked up.
But we're not to rush to judgment, are we?
We're supposed to think, oh, well, he was probably a wonderful guy, and the country needed him badly, and it's just as well that the INS did not deport him when it had a chance the first time around.
Is that what he's saying?
Oh, basically, he said we shouldn't we shouldn't conflate this crime with illegal immigration.
And then the Constitution.
This is actually probably going to be a video.
I'll send you all these stories later.
But the Atlanta Journal Constitution said, you know, that, yes, it was a Venezuelan illegal immigrant, but the large Venezuelan illegal immigrant population in Georgia, they shouldn't be to blame for this.
They're all wonderful people.
Exactly.
Okay.
Well, yes, and this is the Memphis story that you had advertised earlier.
Yes, all kinds of exciting news lurking in these places that somehow doesn't make the big time.
Memphis Mayor Paul Young met face to face with the city's highest ranking gang leaders and asked for a ceasefire.
My ask for them, Mayor Young said, can we get a seven-day ceasefire, de-ceasefire, just seven days when there's no shooting, no killing?
And they said, yes, but they had certain conditions.
Mayor Young said the gangs wanted, first of all, assurances that their enemies would agree to the ceasefire.
Well, I find that reasonable.
And then the other thing they said was, well, you know, our young guys, they need money.
They need money in their pockets.
That's the way you can change it.
Criminals doing what criminals do.
We're going to shake down the mayor in exchange for not blazing away for a whole week.
Save your ammo, boys.
Keep your powders dry.
They want money in their pockets.
They said, we don't have programs in our community centers.
Mayor Young told the crowd, they said, we don't have things to do.
So we go out, we steal cars and we ride around with our friends because they don't have things to do.
Mr. Kersey, oh, the poor dears.
The mayor said gang members told him they want good paying jobs and the training needed to get those jobs.
Well, okay, he'll just wave his magic wand.
What a crazy, nonsense, miserable thing.
Mayor goes cap in hand to these thugs and says, please, please, please, please, please don't shoot each other.
Apparently, Greater Memphis has more than 45,000 young adults aged 16 to 24 who are out of school and out of work.
Nearly half are in poverty.
Well, gosh, that means that 22,000 of them, age 16 through 24, aren't in school, aren't in work, but aren't in poverty.
I wonder how they're making a living, huh?
Maybe those guys out there who are peddling drugs and got strings of girls, who knows?
But, boy, oh boy.
You know, Mr. Taylor, Memphis might be the scariest city in America.
You know, Baltimore is up there, Birmingham, Jackson, Mississippi, but Memphis, Tennessee, I have not been there.
a couple decades, but my goodness the horror stories coming out of there. It's
It's about its its demographics. It's about 65% black 24% white now
So, you know, I was in Memphis while it still had the Nathan Bedford Forest statue
And it was just before it was taken down by that Completely phony legal jiggery-pokery whereby you couldn't
take a Confederate statue down from public land And so they've sold this, the city sold this public park.
A valuable, valuable downtown real estate to some outfit for $2,000 or $3,000.
And that was suddenly private.
So then they took down General Forrest.
But this was only a few years ago.
And I was in town with a native who took me around some of the really nice white neighborhoods.
There are beautiful mansions in Memphis.
These little pockets of civilization surrounded by this great black sea of savagery and violence.
No, I don't know about that.
I haven't heard that story.
these houses and their families for generations. They don't want to rush away from these beautiful
places. When you went to Memphis, had the pyramid been converted to the Bassmasters Pro Shop yet,
or was it just sitting empty? No, I don't know about that.
I haven't heard that story.
So there was an empty pyramid. So they built a beautiful pyramid there along the Mississippi,
that glass, it was a sports structure.
And when the sports team left, it was sitting empty.
And the question was, what are they going to do with it?
Well, one of you and I, one of our favorite stores, Bassmaster Cabela's, they bought it and it's their flagship signature store now in the country.
It's the largest indoor retail store in America.
I knew it not.
I knew it not.
I'm surprised that there's that much demand in Memphis, I guess, so they have a pretty good selection of guns, huh?
Tennessee's a very good when it comes to the Second Amendment.
That's why a number of gun manufacturers, I think I just read where Remington maybe left New York to head to Georgia.
I don't think Georgia is the right state to go to.
I think South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama are far better states demographically.
Well, I'm sure Remington looked into it pretty carefully, but here's another story about urban hijinks.
Close to two years on, A program called Peace for DC has trained more than 100 violence interrupters, so as more effectively to serve their community, and also to take care of themselves in the process.
Now, violence interrupters are supposed to wander around town asking black people or persuading black people not to shoot each other.
Now, I think the best way to interrupt violence is a long prison sentence.
Barring that, maybe a Glock 40 Cal.
That's quicker and permanent and cheaper.
But this is what they've got.
They're training these violence interrupters.
And a nonprofit group called Peace for D.C.
launched D.C.
Peace Academy in the summer of 2022.
But it has decided to better equip these peacemakers with the tools to help curb violence.
What they've done is gradually expand to include more servers to help these messengers deal with their taxing work.
You see, interrupting violence, apparently, is very psychologically difficult.
We have the conversation around healing the healers.
There are some folks that are out there doing some really, really deep and important work, but the work is traumatizing.
So saith Peace for DC Executive Director Marcus Ellis.
He said, and so going deeper for us meant adding a level of therapeutic services to our program.
So, Mr. Kersey, if you want to be a violence interrupter, you can go get training for it and at the same time get psychological help to protect you, I guess, in advance of the horrible trauma that you will face.
These are services that recent graduates said have transformed their own outlooks.
Now, someone named Tiffany Evans, she says, constant love, networking, growth. I learned so much about
myself so that I can be able to go out in the community and just,
you know, explain my story.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I'd like to know how much violence Tiffany has interrupted by
explaining her story. What in heaven's name is going on?
This just sounds like the worst sort of coon doggle, if you ask me.
Did I say that?
No, I didn't say that.
Someone named Prince Ham joined the program and graduated last year.
Prince Ham.
I wonder if Prince Fried Chicken is going to be the next class.
He says, a lot of us are stuck in our emotions where we can't get to our rational thinking.
So we help them with their coping skills, hoping with their emotional intelligence, help them with other resilience.
What's that even mean?
Now you're gonna try and guess that one.
No, don't even guess.
It just strengthened me, as far as my mind, more to even help a lot of my community members because we already faced with a lot of inequalities and social barriers already, right?
There's something else he said.
So, I guess they're getting mental salve for all of the inequalities and social barriers that they face being black people living in Washington, D.C.
So, all these black people being trained to be violence interrupters.
I mean, it doesn't say so, but somehow I just assume that's the case.
Not one word about any violence actually being interrupted.
How many murders?
How many murders have been stopped?
Just out of curiosity, because inquiring minds want to know.
I went to Zip Recruiter, and I learned that as of February 22nd, 2024, the average annual pay for a violence prevention specialist in Washington, D.C.
is $60,196 a year.
Now, I don't know if you graduate from Peace for D.C., you are qualified to be a violence prevention specialist, but I don't see why not.
But they say, ZipRecruiter says, salaries can go as high as $105,000.
I guess these are the people who are really preventing violence.
Lickety split.
Five murders every day.
I beg your pardon?
I wonder what the 401k matching program is.
Ah, probably pretty good.
I don't know how long these people last.
Do you get dental?
Huh, well, in case your teeth get knocked out, I don't know.
Now, according to ZipRecruiter, the violence prevention specialist job market in both Washington, D.C.
and the surrounding area is very active.
So, if you're looking for a career change, Mr. Kersey, and you want to move to the D.C.
area, well, there is your chance.
On the other hand, my suspicion is that you cannot be a violence prevention specialist in D.C.
if you are not black.
My suspicion is the profession is closed to you, hockey boy.
I would be up to a group of of our African American friends.
And I would say, excuse me, gentlemen, will you please stop the violence and put your guns down?
And then I'm afraid it might unite both of the rival gangs.
I'm about to put open fire on me, the lowly violence prevention specialist.
And then we'd have to find out how good that health insurance really is.
There's a- No, no, no, what you need is burial insurance.
Ah, dear.
Well, it looks like- This is such a sad story.
It is.
Here we are.
We're not making light of this stuff, ladies and gentlemen.
It is the end of Black History Month, and the story that Mr. Taylor just regaled you with, it's pure True black history.
There's no city in the country where there is a necessity, a majority white city, where there is a need for violence prevention specialists to convince white people not to engage in such levels of violence that collectively it becomes the most dangerous city in America.
You know, Washington, D.C., I believe they just had maybe since the That's correct.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
Yeah.
on record. I think a Trump, a white, a white former Trump administrator was just murdered
randomly. That's correct. That's right. That's exactly right. Yeah. And you know, the pitiful
thing about this is all of the people who are supposed to be enforcing the law, the police,
the DAs, the folks who are supposed to lock these people up, they're not doing the job.
And so you get these crazy initiatives that cannot possibly do really any good, in my humble estimation.
All these people, they see these people being shot all around them, and it is a tragic thing.
As you say, we're not making light of it, much as we scoff at these crazy boondoggles that they try to put on to try to stop it.
The problem is getting criminals off the street, punishing crime.
That's what works.
I wasn't going to say much about it, but I was at CPAC last weekend, and the speaker whom I enjoyed most was Naib Boukele.
He is the Palestinian-origin president of El Salvador, and he's famous, of course, for having reduced the murder rate of El Salvador from the highest in the world to the lowest in the Western Hemisphere.
And how'd he do it?
Very simple.
He locked up all the bad guys.
He locked them up.
And I'm sure you've seen the photographs of these MS-13 guys, tattoos all over them, dressed in their underwear, being paraded around these prison grounds, looking very, very unhappy and humiliated.
You lock all these guys up.
Yes, as they should be.
You lock all these guys up and they don't shoot people.
And here, Why on earth no one in America seems to have the good sense to do that is beyond me.
In fact, all these American NGOs are all upset because maybe there were a couple of these guys with tattoos all over their faces and all over their backs and fronts who might not have been murderers after all, but they're in there with all these awful people.
Oh boy.
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo.
But El Salvador is one of those countries where people are actually going back.
It's now so much more agreeable.
As I say, murder rate goes from highest in the world to lowest in the Western Hemisphere.
Lower than the United States!
You know, it's funny, Mr. Taylor.
Conversely, there's a Bloomberg article that I wanted to send you, but unfortunately Bloomberg has their entire website now behind a paywall.
It has this headline, Venezuela's violent deaths fall to 22 year low on migration.
Rate is the lowest since 2001, violence observatory says.
So basically because our country is wide open, all these Venezuelan gang members are heading to our
country and now Venezuela is actually,
instead of doing what the president of El Salvador has done is locking up criminals,
what Venezuela has seen is that they're criminals, they're gangs for coming to the United States.
And again, that's where the individual allegedly who killed
Um, Miss Riley in Athens, Georgia of a city that I am very, very familiar with.
I have deep roots in that part of Georgia.
Yeah, it's it's disgusting because again, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the main paper of record in Georgia came out and said, oh my gosh, you know, yeah, a Venezuelan has a Venezuelan illegal alien has allegedly murdered this beautiful white girl.
You know, but the real crime is if there's a pushback against the illegal Venezuelan population within Georgia.
That's right.
That would be the real crime if we somehow thought that we ought to keep Venezuelans out.
That would be far worse than killing just a couple of American white colons, of course.
But, well, Mr. Kersey, I think you have a story on what appear to be fried chicken interrupters in Chicago.
They got a different program.
Again, this is just one of those just little tug-of-cheek stories.
You know, we've now got fast food deserts, got a KFC desert.
Now for those who don't know, who are listening from around the world, not the United States, the South Side of Chicago is pretty much the largest concentration of blacks within Chicago.
Chicago is a very segregated city and the South Side is notoriously, infamously melanin enhanced.
The story has this headline.
Concerns rise as three Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants close doors in Southside Chicago neighborhoods.
The lights have abruptly shut off at three fast food locations, leaving residents concerned over lost jobs and the future of those sites.
All three shuttered KFC restaurants are owned by the same franchisee.
One of them is located in Chatham, where it is not the first business to close in recent weeks.
A closed business is not only an eyesore, but it's a gateway for violence, because when you see abandonment, it looks as if there's no love, no hope in the community, said Alderman William Hall of the Sixth Ward.
Now, of course, what he fails to say is because it closed because of the violence already found in the community, in spite of the KFC being open to deliver its finger-licking good.
Where's Alderman Hall says he too was disappointed to learn the news of KFC's departure.
Quote, it's something we're seeing across the city, but nevertheless, neighborhoods, it hits differently.
So Colonel Sanders is saying goodbye to locations at 83rd Street and Martin Luther King Drive, 75th Street in Lafayette.
And 35th Street and Calumet Avenue in Bronzeville.
So if any of our listeners live around there, I'm sorry, you now live in a KFC desert.
The location in Chatham has been undergoing renovations for months, but it's now boarded up.
Quote, I'd say about six, seven months stop and go, more time stop and then go in, said Alderman Hall.
There was no communication.
I saw what the residents all disappointed just the same way they are.
Again, it's a sad sight when the KFC closes.
Well, it is very sad.
And it's these cities just get into what's in effect a death spiral.
The person who was at the Alderman who was commenting on it, you see these empty storefronts boarded up.
It really does make you think that you're in a terrible neighborhood.
But it's a chicken and egg problem.
Why are they boarded up?
Because they were a terrible neighborhood to begin with.
Why are they terrible?
Well, we shouldn't go into that, because that's a taboo subject.
But this is all very sad.
Of course, in case there are listeners around the world, and we have many, who don't quite understand the significance of fried chicken, our African-American fellow citizens have a reputation for loving fried chicken, as well as loving watermelon.
And so, if you talk about such foods and you associate them with blacks, then you are committing a racist act of the deepest dye.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I think I must be at least a quarter, maybe five-eighths black, because I love fried chicken and I love watermelons.
Should I be worried?
No, you should definitely wash it down with some malt liquor.
And what are the cigarettes that the Biden- Cool.
Cool.
Well, that I don't go for.
So I guess I guess I'm not 100% black.
But and I'm not so good on malt liquor either.
But I tell you, watermelon fried chicken.
Ooh, they make me a happy brother.
Well, Mr. Kersey, Mary Poppins, the beloved children's musical.
Did you realize That it uses a racist word, and therefore in Britain, after 60 years of being a delightful children's musical about a nanny with magical powers, its rating has been lifted to PG.
It used to have a general rating.
It includes two uses of an offensive racial slur to describe an indigenous group in South Africa.
Now, this was the New York Times writing about this, and the New York Times, despite the fact that I didn't realize, I didn't think it had a rating, I didn't think that it considered itself even subject to PG, it was so concerned about this racial slur that it wouldn't even print it.
I had to look elsewhere to find out what this horrible word was.
Mr. Kersey, the fact is, I've never seen Mary Poppins.
That's a confession I must make.
But did you realize that there was an offensive racial slur in it?
And if you knew, do you remember what it was?
I have not seen the movie Mary Poppins in quite a long time, so I did not know, and I did cheat, and I did read the show.
Oh, you did?
Yeah, I'll let you go ahead.
Well, it used the word hot and tot.
And hot and tot, that is now absolutely no good, no good, but at least they're not pulling it entirely from the film library.
They're just giving it a rating.
Of course, in 2020, HBO Max temporarily made Gone with the Wind unavailable because it is routinely criticized for whitewashing the horrors of slavery.
It's true.
There's not a single rape of a black slave lady.
There's not a single case of a black man being lashed to within an inch of his life.
That's true.
So, I guess Gone with the Wind was romanticizing and whitewashing the horrors of slavery.
But they actually, they put it back on with a little disclaimer saying, no, no, no, no.
Slavery was never like this.
Slavery was just awful.
They were all miserable, you know, 24 hours a day.
Remember, just the other day, we had a group that is calculating how much reparations are owed to black people, and they figured that they were working seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
And that's how you calculate what their reparations were.
So I guess it was pretty bad after all.
Now, I was very surprised to learn this, but Mr. Kersey, you who know all, who remember all, see all, hear all, you probably knew this.
In 2021, Disney Plus added a content disclaimer to 18 episodes of The Muppet Show.
Apparently, they included what Disney Plus called negative depictions and or mistreatment of people or cultures.
Wow!
Did you know about that?
We've actually talked about a number of the things that Disney Plus has put out.
Yeah, but the Muppets show, the Muppets, Muppets, 18 episodes of the Muppets had negative depictions and or mistreatment of people and cultures.
I think one of the Muppets actually has exaggerated lips, one of the jive-speaking Muppets, because that show was in the 70s, obviously that was before I was born.
When it was popular but I did watch I did have watched some of the show and it's it's a window into a different country it's so fascinating when you watch pop culture from the various decades and you kind of see just the degradation of America happening and it's the Muppet Show is it's also in a very weird way and it's just like it's just a window into a different world so Well, I just, that's the Cookie Monster, and isn't there some Purple Dinosaur, and I was never a Muppet fan.
That's Sesame Street, you're thinking.
Oh, Sesame Street.
Oh, you're right, you're right.
There's more Kermit the Frog, you know.
Hey, Miss Piggy, what's going on?
Hey, Miss Piggy.
Sorry, that's my terrible Kermit the Frog voice.
I see, I see.
But it had Grover, and it had, oh gosh, who was there?
Fozzie, the bear.
And then it had the two old white guys who would argue in the balcony, which was always
pretty funny.
And then it had these goofy chef and had a goofy white chef.
It was a hilarious show.
And then it would always have a celebrity host who would come in.
I can't figure out. No, I was confusing it with Sesame Street, but how on earth could it have had negative?
Well, I guess anything could be a negative depiction if one of the little were they dolls?
So they were puppets weren't they? The Muppets? The Muppets?
Weren't they puppets?
It's a Jim Henson production. I mean, Mr. Taylor, one of my favorite Disney movies is
Yes.
the Swiss family Robinson and that has a disclaimer before it because the pirates who attack the family
are multi-ethnic, they're multi-racial, they're not diverse.
People white people there you know it shows what the pirates you know largely were and that's
a disclaimer before the movie.
Okay well Well, Muppets, I wonder if we could find out just what it is that's considered negative depictions and stereotypes and oppression and mistreatment of peoples or cultures.
But anyway, the Washington Post ran a story about how we should hire new employees.
Now, it said that most employers hire individuals based on their qualifications, but a new study has pointed out that this process can be unfair.
Researchers at the American Psychological Association are now claiming that
socioeconomic disparities should be the focus when seeking new employees.
Researchers concluded that merit-based hiring fuels racial inequality.
Oh boy, so we've got to stop that.
Hiring managers should learn about the effects of socioeconomic inequalities
on access to opportunity and consider a broader range of work experience
when evaluating different candidates.
So don't concentrate on their qualifications or their abilities.
Concentrate on what their socioeconomic background was.
Now, this study comes at an awkward and important time because some Republican leaders, says the Washington Post, are pushing back against diversity, equity, and inclusion at public universities and in state government.
Governor Spencer Cox of Utah signed a bill That prohibits diversity training, hiring, and inclusion programs, making it the latest state to join the anti-diversity movement.
Other states that have cancelled or proposed cancelling DEI include Florida, Missouri, Iowa, and South Carolina.
So, if you're ever in a position to hire, qualifications, ability, all that sort of stuff, you know, put that aside.
Put that aside.
Concentrate on other more important things.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I think you have a story about the FBI's idea as to who is behind organized retail theft.
Now, this is one of those stories where you begin to realize just how much the dam has burst when it comes to The racial narrative that we all know from seeing the videos from California, from New York, from all the major cities, from Washington, D.C., where, you know, Tide is now behind Plexiglas, or it's locked up, where all these CVSs are closing.
So the FBI, this is from Outkick.com.
This is a website that Fox owns.
We've endorsed them before, and I will continue to endorse them, because I think they are a window into a very All right, seems like an innocuous headline.
conservative. And this is very exciting because this is a great story by David Hookstead.
FBI bruly roasted over picture choice for tweet about theft.
All right, seems like an innocuous headline. I'm going to go and read from the story. The FBI
was lit up on social media after a truly stunning Monday tweet. Tweeted an image that
The FBI tweeted an image of two young white women, and I might add very gorgeous white women at that, stealing and robbing a store in an attempt to address theft.
The two women look like the most harmless people on the planet as they attempted to rob the place.
They have guns, they got black masks on.
What's the story?
Are they just sashaying through the store?
There are just two gorgeous white girls who are very well dressed, very well groomed.
And one of them appears to be putting a purse into a, looks like a couple thousand,
it looks like a very expensive trench coat overcoat, a beautiful brunette and a blonde next to her.
And the FBI tweeted this, higher prices, dangerous products, and closing businesses.
These are just some of the impacts organized retail theft has on everyday Americans.
Learn what the FBI does to combat these crimes on the federal level to protect shoppers across the country.
And then it's the picture of these two just hilariously, again, they're gorgeous white girls in this photo.
So here's where the tweets come.
So again, the FBI claims that they're engaging in organized retail theft, which is the large scale theft of retail merchandise with the intent to resell the stolen items for financial gain.
So that might answer your question of where some of the people in majority black Memphis, why they're above the poverty line, because they've raided all the stores and sold their stuff.
Again, They talk about smash and grab as a form of retail theft,
involves smashing a barrier, displaying in store to grab valuables, flash mob or flash
rob, which we've all seen these videos where blacks go into a major store.
I think there was a Macy's in Philadelphia, maybe, where a security guard was actually
shot and killed trying to intervene.
So again, the FBI was roasted for the tweet about retail theft.
And I just want to read some of the hilarious responses to this, including one from our own Gregory Hood.
Here's one from John Ziegler.
Yes, folks, our FBI would like you to know that there is an epidemic of rich, young, attractive white women ransacking our retail outlets.
How are they getting away with this lawlessness?
This must be stopped.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's see here.
Here's a good one from at amuse.
Pretty big account there on Twitter X. We all seen the videos of attractive white women shoplifting.
It is time for the FBI to crack down on these dangerous criminals.
Let's get to some other ones.
Hold on one second here.
Joe Gavin, if I could read this one, you'll laugh at this.
Joe Gabrielle Simonson said this, quote, this picture is so conspicuously inaccurate, you have to just marvel at our federal government humiliate itself just to avoid offending Democrats.
Well, actually, I'd say just to avoid stereotyping blacks, Mr. Simonson, but such as such.
And then if I could, if I could, this is my favorite one, probably my favorite tweet of all time from Danny Polish Chuck.
He wrote this, quote, these girls are the reason the frozen pizzas are locked up at my local Walgreens.
Well, the fact is, Mr. Kersey, it's not the FBI's fault.
I'm sure they just asked the Gemini image generation program to produce a picture of
organized retail theft ringleaders and crime bosses.
And I'll pop these girls.
It's fascinating you say that because Katie Pavlich, who I met years ago, I know, she
wrote a great book on Fast and the Furious back during the Obama administration.
She tweeted this, she said, looks like Gemini got a hold of the FBI when they asked Oh, there you go.
Here's the great tweet that this story has from Gregory Hood.
Give me one second while I scroll down.
Almost there.
There's so many hilarious tweets here, and the fact is, you've got everybody noticing because people have watched these videos.
Here's what Hood wrote.
Yeah, nice pictures of the suspect, FBI.
That's just who was doing it.
I guess all those movies and TV shows about super smart FBI profilers unveiling the people behind crimes exaggerated just a little bit.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
I think we have just enough time to slip in a little story about Michelle Obama, because, as you know, she's now being discussed as an alternative if the Democratic Party decides to dump Joe Biden.
And so we should know a little bit more about her.
Now, when she was at Princeton, she said that she was black first, a student second.
And in her college thesis, she said that America was founded on crime and hatred, and that whites are ineradicably racist.
She constantly uses the term separationist and integrationist in her thesis when describing the views of black people, and her thesis clearly identifies her as a separationist.
She writes, by actually working with the black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I think she has abandoned the black lower class because I don't think she has ever spent 15 minutes working with a black lower class trying to pull them out of poverty or whatever it is.
So, let's see, she says, further integration and or assimilation into a white culture and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society, never becoming a full participant.
She's afraid that's going to happen.
Well, you know, she did live in the White House, so I think it happened to Michelle, baby.
I think you turned your back on the brothers and the sisters.
And of course, her and her husband famously bought a beautiful property on Martha's Vineyard, which is, I want to say, .02% black.
Yep, yep, yep.
Well, Mr. Kersey, we have run out of time.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, it is always an honor and a privilege to spend this time with you, and we look forward to this honor and this privilege next week.
