	Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
	I'm your host, Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey.
	And today is April 25th, Anno Domini, 2024.
	with Anno Domini 2024.
	As usual, we would like to start with comments from listeners.
	And this is a comment having to do with the fact that Mr.
	Kerr, you and I two weeks ago were talking about gun checks in the New York City subway,
	stop and frisk, and also the activities of Mr. Bukele of El Salvador, and we approved of
	these strong arm tactics.
	We've had some listeners who disapprove, and a listener writes in to say this.
	I agree with last week's commenter about not supporting these jackboot policies.
	I don't trust the government as much as the next person, and would rather have them out of my business.
	Of course, by importing these criminals and catering to the blacks who are here, crime is going to skyrocket, as it already has.
	And the normal, everyday American normie is going to demand more and more government control to curb crime.
	The Normies don't understand that having someone with dictatorial power is like living in most non-white countries.
	Just look at Africa, Central and South America.
	That could easily be our future.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, you and I agreed that it is a misfortune that we have to approve this kind of jackboot policy, as our listener calls them.
	However, I think we are permitted to wonder whether this particular listener lives in New York City, as well as the people who are complaining about what's going on.
	As far as I understand, the people who live in El Salvador haven't complained very much about Mr. Bukele's pretty ruthless tactics of rounding up the people who are causing all the trouble.
	So, I agree in principle.
	Giving power, giving power to central authority, even Even decentralized authority is something that we should be very, very careful about.
	But one thing, when things get as bad as they are now, I think these are policies that really have to be resorted to.
	And I believe you agree, do you not?
	Yeah, let me get nice and slow here.
	Good afternoon, everyone listening around the United States and the country and around the world.
	But I got to say, Mr. Taylor, principles don't really matter when you're up against reality.
	I don't think principles are going to save you.
	When you're trying to hide behind the Constitution and you're being, you're seeing your store ransacked or, you know, your home being invaded, or, you know, it's past time to retire such language.
	I hate to say that.
	No, I don't hate to say that.
	Oh, I don't know about that.
	I mean, principles, to sacrifice principles in the name of expediency, that's a slippery slope.
	I tend to be old-fashioned in that respect.
	But that may be a conversation for another time.
	It, I mean, we all make compromises.
	We all engage in tradeoffs.
	I think the pure libertarian idea of a world without any kind of government authority at all is theoretically attractive, but it just doesn't seem to work.
	It goes against human nature.
	At some point, we have to deal with human nature in a way that recognizes that a certain amount of authority is necessary.
	But as the founders, this is something the founders struggled with, of course, is how much Power, can we afford to give any government?
	And they tried to give us a federal government that was a government of laws, not people.
	But as soon as you change the people, then the laws don't matter at all.
	And we've seen this over and over and over again.
	I think this conversation would be probably much more fruitful if we were in a homogeneously
	European society.
	Then we could talk about these things and talk about principles and talk about trying to build a more perfect union.
	But in this mishmash that includes everyone from all around the world, all of those principle debates become much more difficult.
	Speaking of which… I'll end with this.
	Principles become fluid when faced with demographic reality.
	Yes, all of our principles founder on the hard rock of diversity.
	And in that context, it's interesting that we have a comment from someone who writes in, I'm listening to your broadcast from Tokyo.
	I often hear you speak of Japan as an example of a non-diverse society that is missing many of the ills caused by our insane commitment to forcing incompatible peoples to live together.
	And of course, it's this forcing of incompatible people to live together that leads to the chaos and horror of our big cities run by Democrats full of non-whites.
	Our listener goes on to say, it grieves me to report that Japan is losing its cultural cohesion.
	Last night, I was walking through the Roppongi district of Tokyo and was accosted at least a
	dozen times by Africans trying to drag me into strip clubs.
	Now, I might point out, 40 years ago, when I was living in Tokyo, in Roppongi, that's
	a kind of a nightclub entertainment district in Tokyo.
	That's the only place I ever saw black people.
	And the only job they ever seemed to have was as touts.
	They'd be on the sidewalk and they'd be accosting you and telling you in not very good English, come inside, see the girls, and then going into more detail than that.
	And I was always flabbergasted.
	Where'd they come from?
	Well, I guess they're still there.
	They're still there.
	And perhaps there are more of them than ever.
	Our listener goes on to say, as I say, blacks were such a rarity, certainly when I was growing up in Japan.
	And 30 years ago, when I went there and I was, I guess, as I said, it was more like 40 years ago when I was working there.
	You would just stare at them.
	They were just such strange apparitions.
	But so, as I say, they're still in Roppongi, still doing the same job, maybe still the same guys for all I know.
	But our listener goes on to say, the previous week I've been walking through the Otemachi district.
	That's another downtown part of Tokyo, a little bit more straight-laced than Roppongi.
	And I was approached by a swarm of women, all non-Japanese, Southeast Asian origin, trying to sell me massages, as he puts it.
	He says, I can't help but wonder who decided to let these people into Japan and why?
	Now that might be a subject for A more extended conversation.
	Japan, of course, is struggling with one of the lowest birth rates in the world.
	And it is slowly and painfully turning its back on very, very wise policies it's always had to limit immigration practically to zero.
	And they have even started issuing visas, official formal visas, to people with not particularly advanced skills, ordinary labor, With the expectation that after having worked for a while, they will go back to where they came from.
	Well, good luck and get them to go back.
	Once they have seen Tokyo, it's hard to keep them back down on the farm in Indonesia.
	But this is a real problem for Japan and their instincts are good, but they too, their principles are running up against the facts of demography, as you put it just a few moments ago, Mr. Kersey.
	The fact is that you're not having enough children.
	And so they're trying to raise their birth rates, but they're also importing people, which, as we both know, is a very risky and potentially catastrophic thing to do.
	Last comment, and Mr. Kersey, I will be interested in how you would answer this question, but our listener asks, should European languages be a mandatory subject in school in order to encourage white identity?
	Well, if we Our point of departure is against mandatory anything, centralized authority, and this and that.
	On principle, one could perhaps say no.
	And we would like to think that Americans would voluntarily wish to study European languages.
	But in these troubled times, when principle runs up against demography, I think it is a very, very good thing, whether or not it should be a required thing.
	It often has been a required thing to study European languages.
	Of course, the trouble now is that when people require a European language, it's almost always Español, so we can speak to the future ruling class.
	Who was it?
	Go ahead.
	No, no, please, please.
	Joe Sober famously said that a hundred years ago, every high school in the country taught Latin and Greek, and now, a hundred years later, the only thing that we teach, language-wise, is remedial English.
	Well, that and Spanish, and maybe Chinese.
	No, it used to be, it seems to me, that although I didn't grow up in the United States, that the foreign language that most people were likely to study would have been French.
	And I think it is very important to speak European languages because you can go to Europe, that is the homeland, that is where our culture originated, and being able to speak to people who live there really opens up an experience that you cannot have if you can't speak to ordinary people.
	So yes, I think it's very important for Americans to learn foreign languages.
	We've been very lazy and I suppose it's inevitable because Our British colonizers colonized so much the rest of the world and made English pretty much the universal language, and we helped to some degree, so it is easy for us not to have to learn foreign languages, but I think it is a very, very good thing.
	I think it might even be a good thing to study Latin.
	I don't know about Greek.
	Greek is a little foreign to me, but our language, so many of our sayings, so much of English and all the Romance languages are Latin-based in so many ways.
	I regret never having studied Latin.
	I think that would have really added a dimension to my understanding and appreciation of history and other
	languages. Also, it means you can read so many inscriptions, lots of inscriptions. Back when, as you
	say, everybody used to study Greek and Latin, people put up inscriptions in Latin. I can't read
	most of them. I can sort of try to puzzle my way through them, but that would be a great thing to know
	too. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we really do love hearing from you. Your comments, your observations,
	you point out stories that we we should cover, and you correct us when we are wrong.
	And even if we're not wrong, if you disagree, that is fine too.
	We'd love to hear from you.
	There are two ways to do it.
	You can reach me directly by going to the AMREN website, A-M-R-E-N dot com, click on the Contact Us tab, and you can send me a message.
	The other way to do it is... Send me an email.
	Because we live here at ProtonMail.com, Once again, all one word.
	Because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
	Haven't said that one in a while.
	That felt old.
	Old school.
	Anyways.
	Well, all one word.
	That's right.
	Just like all email addresses.
	Now, our first story has to do with the alternative for Deutschland.
	And it is doing very well among the young.
	Here is an article from a European publication.
	German youth are shifting towards the AFD, the Alternative for Deutschland, or Germany, amid concerns over mass immigration, inflation, the economy and the war in Ukraine, according to a study of 14 to 29 year olds.
	The results of a large-scale survey show that twice as many young people would vote for the AFD compared to 2022.
	That's just two years ago.
	And that the party is now number one in terms of favorability in that age bracket.
	The survey shows that the top concern of young people is, however, inflation.
	65% mentioned this.
	Wars in Europe and the Middle East take number two with 60%.
	The number three concern is scarce and overpriced housing at 54%, climate change and divisions in society both got 49%, and although concern over the increase in refugee flow was only a concern for 41% of this age group, that was a huge jump from the last survey when only 22% cited this as a concern.
	So, this is something you ask people, you know, what do you think of the following things, and they'll tick them off.
	65% that inflation was the real problem.
	Of course, inflation and the housing crisis, the problem with housing, that's directly linked to the whole migrant business too.
	Migrants are contributing to housing squeeze, and Germany reaches new population records every year solely due to mass migration, and all of these foreigners put a strain on health care and on social benefits.
	But when people talk about all these so-called refugees coming into the country, they say this poses a danger due to lack of living space, social division, and the financially strained social systems.
	So, another thing that teachers and students are raising alarm about is diversity in schools where standards are falling.
	Now, does that sound familiar to you Americans?
	Also, violence in the classroom.
	Ever heard of such a thing?
	Yes.
	And conflicts between different groups.
	All of this contributes to a deteriorating education system.
	You know, Mr. Kersey, you and I have occasionally talked about different groups of Eritreans fighting each other.
	That's just such a crazy thing for Europeans to have to deal with.
	We've had a few of those little Septu's in the United States, too.
	One group of Eritreans doesn't like another group of Eritreans, and there are enough of them to start rioting and throwing bricks through plate glass windows and attacking the police.
	Eritreans, for heaven's sake!
	And at least the Germans are beginning to notice.
	Now, another little fill up on this story is the Christian Democrats.
	The Christian Democrats, the CDU, that's the other so-called conservative party, also doing well with the young people, comes in at second place with 20% support after the AFD, which is at 22%.
	They've got a lot of parties, so the number one party can come in at 22%.
	And that is now the number one party for those under 30, and it has almost doubled its share.
	Just in the last two years.
	I think that's a remarkable progress.
	I think there's all great news.
	It's all great news.
	20 percent, and the ruling left liberal government has seen its support among the young people
	drop substantially.
	I think this is all great news.
	It's all great news.
	Of course, I don't know if Germany will go through the usual routine where people promise
	to control immigration and then they don't.
	I mean, Britain being one of the best examples of this, but the French, the Italians, we've seen it over and over and over again.
	But I somehow have a sense that the AFD, which has been founded squarely on that alternative for Germany, the name of the party itself has to do with keeping Germany German.
	So let's hope they do a better job than others.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe there's a similar direction in the United States, that more and more people are becoming favorable to the idea of mass deportation.
	I think that's the center position, Mr. Taylor.
	Yes.
	Exclusive poll.
	America warms to mass deportations.
	Share of Americans who say they support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
	Half of Americans, including 42% of Democrats, say they'd support mass deportations of undocumented
	immigrants, according to a new Axios Vibe survey by the Harris Poll.
	Excuse me, excuse me.
	42% of Democrats also?
	42% of Democrats.
	42% of Democrats say they'd support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a new Axios Vibe survey by the Harris Poll.
	I mean, again, if you look at what's happening in places like Chicago, New York, that coalition of the fringes, we hear so much about keeping and uniting the left and the Democrats against the increasingly white Republican Party.
	It starts to unravel pretty quickly when the black community says, well, why are they getting all these handouts, these illegals who are being bused here?
	This doesn't make any sense.
	So 30% of Democrats, as well as 46% of Republicans now say they end birthright citizenship, something guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
	Why it matters.
	Let's get right to the heart of it.
	Americans are open to former President Trump's harshest immigration plans, spurred on by a record surge of illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans.
	President Biden is keenly aware the crisis threatens his reelection.
	He's sought to flip the script by accusing Trump of sabotaging.
	Congress's most conservative bipartisan immigration bill in decades, which, again, it was not.
	I'm not sure if you looked at it.
	It was a terrible bill.
	Mr. Kersey, what publications published this story?
	This has clearly got a lefty slant on it.
	It does.
	This is Axios.
	Oh, yes.
	You said that to begin with.
	Axios.
	Well, all right.
	Sorry.
	But when it comes to blame, President Biden so far has failed to ship the narrative.
	32% of respondents said his administration is most responsible for the crisis, outranking any other political or structural factor.
	Here's Axios' vibe check, colon.
	Amid a record number of border crossings, nearly two-thirds of Americans said illegal immigration is a real crisis, not a politically driven media narrative.
	What they're saying, quote, I was surprised at the public support for large scale deportations.
	Mark Pym, chairman of the Harris Poll and former pollster for President Clinton, said, I think they're just sending a message to politicians.
	Get this under control.
	He said, calling a warning to Biden that, quote, efforts to shift responsibility for the issue to Trump are not going to work, end quote.
	Now, Mr. Mr. Trump has vowed to carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history, eyeing sweeping raids and detention camps.
	And a plan that would target millions of illegal immigrants.
	I'm not going to use the word that they use, undocumented immigrants.
	They're illegal immigrants.
	Americans typically aren't eager to deport immigrants who have put down roots in the U.S., but the poll of 6,251 U.S.
	adults suggests the dynamic may be changing amid rising fears about crime and violence.
	And you're right, this has just such a gross slant, so we can stop reading.
	I think the most important thing to take away from it is that people are fed up, and mass deportations have worked before in the past under Eisenhower.
	We've deported, you know, Uh, probably tens of millions of people in American history and we're gonna have to do it again.
	It's just this time it wouldn't come to loop.
	Yep, of course, the busybodies will tie up the process in all sorts of legal knots.
	But, I mean, they are here illegally.
	I don't understand why even any court, no court should stop a program like that.
	You're here illegally.
	You can be deported and you will be deported.
	That is the message that they should get.
	And bravo for the American people to wising up.
	In the meantime, the whole question of deportation has come up.
	Well, it comes up in all Western countries, but in Britain, a child rapist can now stay.
	The man who was jailed for raping a minor was due to be kicked out and sent back to Eritrea in 2014.
	So 10 years ago, he should have been kicked out.
	However, he appealed the ruling.
	Stating that he would not be able to be treated for depression or PTSD in his native Eritrea.
	Another one of these lovely Eritreans, making life vibrant for the rest of us.
	A doctor said last month the man, who cannot be named for privacy reasons, would be more likely to take his own life if he returned to Eritrea.
	Oh, what a pity!
	What a pity!
	I mean, I suppose the mean thing to say, but it seems to me he'd be doing the world a favor.
	But in any case, this means, as I say, this has been going on for 10 years.
	I mean, has this Eritrean been in the pokey the whole time?
	In any case, his appeal was upheld, with the doctor adding that he could also be punished if he returned to Eritrea because he evaded the draft.
	Now, you know, I just don't understand.
	Who takes on cases like this and makes appeals on their behalf?
	I mean, this guy didn't come up, of course, with the idea that, oh, if you send him back to Eritrea, they can't treat me for depression and PTSD.
	Some busybody has come around and put this guy's name on an application and set it before the courts.
	But what kind of judge would make a decision like this?
	This guy raped a child.
	And now he's got to stay because if he goes back to Eritrea, they just won't be able to coddle him and pet him and love him and slobber over him the way he deserves and the way the British are going to deserve.
	Who are these people who do this?
	Who make these decisions?
	They hate Britain?
	They want to destroy it?
	And this decision about this Eritrea comes just days after a different asylum seeker pleaded guilty to raping a 15-year-old girl.
	This guy can be named.
	He is Anicet Maiella.
	And he arrived in the UK in 2004.
	He's been there 20 years.
	20 years.
	And he paid an agent to smuggle him out of Africa.
	And he is a Congolese who became well known among anti-deportation campaigners due to his protests outside detention centers and his gimmicky use of human rights laws to fight his return back to his home country.
	There have been two attempts to deport this Mayela guy.
	And the second was thwarted This is an astonishing story to me.
	They put him on an Air France plane because Air France flies to the Congo, and the cabin crew decided that they were not going to fly him out of the country.
	The cabin crew!
	This is absurd.
	See, you should declare war on France for a French cabin crew preventing Britain from Deporting rapists.
	Well now, now that he recently, you know, he's raped another girl, he pleaded guilty, he could face up to life in prison.
	So I guess he would probably get to stay in Britain, but that's another horrible thing.
	Just get this guy out.
	Out, out, out.
	So long as he never comes back.
	This is, this is just, just awful.
	And Mr. Kersey, I almost apologize for this next story that's coming up, but we have had A set of just stomach-turning stories about immigrants who have repaid their benefactors in the worst possible way.
	A 25-year-old Algerian migrant has been arrested and charged for kidnapping, beating, and raping a 49-year-old French woman near Nantes.
	She had worked with him for years as part of her social work trying to help this guy.
	The man broke into her home with a knife.
	And held her captive from Friday evening until Saturday morning.
	And she managed to escape after having been raped and beaten brutally.
	She managed to get out of the house and call the police.
	And this Algerian was found still inside the victim's home.
	Now, I'm not sure why he stuck around after his victim left.
	I mean, was he asleep, or did he think there would be no consequences, no chance the police would come?
	Well, after he was arrested, he told the judge, he says, sometimes I control myself, sometimes I don't control myself.
	What do you think of that?
	I guess that's the Algerian way of approaching the opposite sex.
	The woman has had worked for this guy for years, and he is already well known to the police for property crimes, for being violent with two other women, Four convictions, never deported.
	The victim was so badly beaten up and traumatized that she was told to stay home for her work to let her injuries heal for 10 days.
	Now, there have been other similar cases of the altruism of whites being repaid.
	Last year, an Afghan in the German city of Spee was convicted of nearly killing a mother and her daughter.
	After the 16-year-old rejected him.
	He wanted to be 27-year-old Fuad.
	Fuad, he can be named.
	He wanted to be the boyfriend of 16-year-old, and the mother and the 16-year-old had welcomed them into their house.
	And when he made a pass at the 16-year-old and was told to get lost, he stabbed and nearly killed both of them.
	In Paris in 2022, a 31-year-old Afghan murdered a man in his Paris home, stabbing him 30 times.
	The Parisian had taken him in as an act of kindness, as some of these liberal lefty authority figures are sometimes asking citizens to do.
	And in 2020, the head of a French pro-migrant organization was murdered in his sleep by a 20-year-old Afghan.
	He also had taken him in and let him stay in a spare bedroom.
	This Afghan beat him to death as he slept with an iron rod.
	Motive never determined.
	Now, I wonder where he got the iron rod.
	You know, you hear about people beating folks to death with an iron rod.
	I mean, I have a poker around the house, but no iron rods.
	This seems to be an odd thing.
	Maybe in France they've got them just lying around people's apartments.
	It sounds like you've got something on your to-purchase list.
	Yes, yes.
	In 2019, 61-year-old Patricia H.
	A volunteer at a refugee center in Hannover who gave asylum seekers German lessons was murdered.
	Farid A., a 32-year-old asylum seeker whose application had been rejected, killed her in order to steal her money.
	Yes, get acquainted with these people who teach you German.
	Learn where they live and then kill them if your application is denied and you need some money.
	And then finally, 2021, a 27-year-old medical student and pro-immigrant activist was stabbed to death by a Sudanese. This was a French woman
	who lived just outside of Paris.
	She had taken him in for some time but had then asked him to leave. Well, he came back and stabbed
	her 14 times. Charming stuff, Mr. Kersey. And over to you.
	I believe you have an equally charming story about ski mask bans.
	Now this is something new, this is new to me, this idea of Ski Mask.
	That's a fashion statement amongst our dusky brethren?
	It is, it is.
	You know, this is from an op-ed that appeared in Teen Vogue.
	I'm not sure why Teen Vogue is writing about the racial implication of Ski Mask Band.
	Whatever.
	Oh, Mr. Kersey, Mr. Kersey, Teen Vogue.
	Has the most lurid, anti-white, woke, woke, woke, insomniac, woke essays.
	Have you not seen Teen Vogue stuff before?
	It'll curl your hair!
	Oh, I've encountered it from time to time, but I'm not someone who seeks out a copy or an issue of Teen Vogue.
	Well, the fact is, Teen Vogue seeks you out because it is so lurid and so gruesome.
	You can't help but have people send you articles about this, their eyes rolling.
	In any case, please proceed.
	Teen Vogue!
	Teen Vogue?
	Give me just one second here.
	Sorry, let me make sure this is recording.
	Good.
	Ski mask bans in cities like Philadelphia will criminalize black and brown youth.
	The ski mask is a fashion statement.
	This item is a lot of things to a culture.
	19-year-old youth advocate Saad Salahuddin testified at a Philadelphia City Council meeting arguing against the passage of an ordinance banning ski masks on public transit and in other public spaces.
	You know, Mr. Taylor, when those dead white males get together back in Philadelphia to talk about the early stages of Declaration of Independence.
	I'm sure, I'm sure they envisioned 250 years, something, 250 some odd years later, black people getting upset about, you know, being typecast wearing ski masks and being allowed to do that.
	Such a, such a, such a great thing that we have to endure here in 2024.
	Quote, I think it's an attack on culture, said Salahuddin.
	Who spoke wearing a ski mask.
	So he's giving this presentation while wearing a ski mask.
	I have a ski mask on.
	I didn't cause any harm to anybody.
	I don't plan on causing harm to anybody, end quote.
	Well, that doesn't mean that other people wearing ski masks won't cause harm to anybody, Mr. Salahuddin.
	Philadelphia City Council's ski mask ban is just the next in a series of tough-on-crime policies that, of course, disproportionately affect black and brown youth.
	Because black and brown youth disproportionately are the people committing the crime.
	As narratives about youth crime continue to get play in the media despite evidence that crime, including violent crime, is plummeting almost everywhere in the country, and data showing that adults commit the vast majority of crime, politicians use harsh policies like the mask ban to show they are doing something.
	Similar policies include expanded curfews and harsher penalties for a range of offenses.
	Performative policies like these are not evidence-based practices that reduce crime generally or among the youth.
	Okay, so this is Teen Vogue editorializing.
	This is Teen Vogue editorializing, yeah.
	Locking up the bad guys does not decrease crime.
	You know, that's one of these, oh, I don't know, fairy tales that they love to tell you.
	Yeah, lock them all up, but there'll still be crime.
	Yeah, you know, a lot of states and municipalities actually banned the wearing of hoods and masks.
	In connection with what the author says is a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan back in the 1980s and 1990s.
	It had a connection with anti-Black and anti-Semitic terrorism.
	Yet these anti-hooding laws were written so broadly, police interpreted them to justify stops, pat-downs, and charges for a range of fashion accessories, including hoodies and ski masks.
	As a result, the very laws intended to protect Black communities were instead weaponized against them and disproportionately used to justify police harassment of Black and brown youth.
	Prohibiting trends popular among youth of color is also not new.
	From 1943, Los Angeles ordinance banning zoot suits, a fashion trend particularly popular among Mexican and Filipino youth.
	And then efforts to, uh, to efforts starting in the early 2000s, I'm sorry, yeah, that was a target for them, and then efforts started in the early 2000s banning sacking pants and hoodies.
	City councils and legislatures have long used Today's ski mask bans come as rapper Pooh Shiesty and other hip-hop artists popularize ski masks as a fashion accessory among black and brown youth.
	As Saul Huden's testimony makes clear, ski masks are a cultural fashion statement and laws banning them are an attack on culture, on black people.
	In stark contrast, there have been no similar efforts to ban the neck gaiters, khaki pants and polo shirts prominently worn by far-right neo-fascist groups like the Proud Boys and the Patriot Front.
	Whatever the justification, by dictating what young people can wear, fashion bans may violate the First Amendment.
	Right to freedom of speech or freedom of expression.
	You know, Mr. Taylor, I was thinking that what they should try and ban, uh, what was the guy's name?
	Mark McCloskey, uh, who walked out with his wife after they were having that lovely dinner in St.
	Louis back in 2020.
	And he came out wearing a pink Brooks Brothers polo and, uh, and khakis and a nice belt.
	And I think he was wearing boat shoes.
	That's the look that you ban because that's, that's the look of the, of the, um, of, uh, of urban.
	of urban white resentment, not rule right resentment that we've talked about before.
	But that's that's the true look they should fear.
	Well, you know, do you remember back when there were when COVID came along, and there were these mask wearing requirements?
	At that time, I remember at least three or four black people Writing these wild essays predicting that if black people started wearing masks, the police were just going to shoot them down in the street because they were going to be thought to be bank robbers and hoodlums of one sort or another.
	Of course, it never happened.
	But then, they were being asked to wear masks.
	Made to wear masks.
	Now, of course, the idea is, if you're wearing a mask these days, you're not trying to protect against COVID.
	You could be doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
	And ski masks?
	I mean, I just don't understand.
	I suppose, well, do you remember there used to be a slogan that blacks used to wear on t-shirts?
	It's a black thang!
	Spelled T-H-A-N-G.
	Dot, dot, dot.
	You wouldn't understand.
	Well, I guess I wouldn't understand.
	I don't want to understand.
	I want to understand everything, even if it is inexplicable.
	But I wear ski masks if it's really, really, really, really cold.
	But I'm a little baffled by this ski mask as a fashion statement.
	What's the name of the guy who has apparently single-handedly popularized this, not just among blacks, but black and brown youth?
	I think this brown stuff is nonsense, but there are very few Hispanics running around in ski masks.
	They're the last people I'd expect to be wearing them.
	I think it's Aspiring Raptor Pooh Shiesty.
	That's his name.
	Pooh Shiesty.
	Pooh Shiesty.
	Okay.
	Well, I guess he has more influence than I would have ever imagined.
	What's the overall idea of being an Aspiring Raptor by the end of 2024?
	Could be.
	Could be.
	These are tough times.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, because you know all of the race-related news every week, you have certainly heard about this story.
	It has made quite a few rounds, and so some of our listeners may be familiar with it, too.
	But it's worth talking about.
	The Pennsylvania-based gas station chain Sheetz is being accused of racial discrimination by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
	The EEOC argues that Sheetz's criminal background checks are racist.
	It said this disproportionately impacts Native Americans, blacks, and multiracial job seekers.
	Multiracial job seekers, what do you know?
	Though the lawsuit does not allege that the criminal background checks are deliberately purposeful and with their intent to discriminate, it claims Sheetz violates the law anyway.
	As it happens, if you reject for employment people who have got a felony, that weeded out 14.5% of black applicants.
	Nearly 14.5% and more than 1 in 10 were denied employment because they failed a background check.
	As it happens, for whites, it's a considerable number, too—8%.
	But the fact that this had a disparate impact on blacks means, no, no, no, no, no.
	You may not have intended to discriminate, but you did discriminate And as a spokesman for the EEOC said, federal law requires that employment practices causing a disparate impact because of race or other protective classifications must be shown to be necessary to ensure the safe and efficient performance of a particular job.
	Well, you know, it seems to me it's just a matter of common sense.
	You don't want, you don't want criminals working with the public.
	You don't want criminals really doing much of anything, frankly.
	But this has to be justified, even when such necessity is proven.
	Even, see, this is just another added wrinkle to it.
	Even if, say, it's something having to do with handling money, and you don't want people who've been convicted of bank robbery or embezzlement to be handling money.
	Even if there is a business necessity, if there is some other way to weed them out that does not have a racial disparate impact, you've got to try to come up with that way.
	Now, the thing that really shocked me about all of this, and of course this whole business, disparate impact, in any sane society, that would just disappear.
	Because when you try to hire the best possible, the most highly qualified, competent, and people with spotless records, you're going to weed out certain groups.
	That's just all there is to it.
	It has a disparate impact.
	And this idea that disparate impacts are illegal, trying to hire the very best employees, becomes illegal.
	Now, Sheets spoke and said, Diversity and inclusion are essential parts of who we are.
	Then, this is to me the most significant sentence of this whole story.
	We have attempted to work with the EEOC for nearly eight years to find common ground and resolve this dispute.
	Eight years they've been haggling with the EEOC trying to get around this problem, trying to find some way to keep thieves, rapists, muggers, who knows, maybe hatchet murderers off the payroll.
	And the EEOC has been hounding them about this for eight years, and now they finally sued.
	What a country.
	And now let's move along to Catherine Marr, spelled M-A-H-E-R.
	She is the new head honcho of National Public Radio.
	Now, she's been in the news mere weeks before she got this new role.
	A longtime National Public Radio senior editor named Yuri Berliner published a scathing indictment of the self-professed public media services complete takeover by lefties.
	We talked about that, Mr. Kersey, quite an interesting essay that this guy published.
	Nothing surprising to people like us, but it's remarkable that an insider actually laid it all out.
	He did, and he's gone now, too, correct?
	Yes, he's gone.
	The new boss, Catherine Marr, punished Berliner with a five-day unpaid suspension, and so he later hung up his NPR name tag, and I don't know what he's doing now.
	In tweets over the years, Catherine Marr on every topic has adopted fashionable lefty language.
	For example, she calls Donald Trump a deranged racist sociopath.
	Now, I don't think anyone has ever called even me a deranged racist sociopath.
	Maybe deranged, maybe racist, but I don't think anybody's called me a sociopath, but who knows, that day may come.
	When she was in her 30s, And still unmarried and without children, Catherine Meyer explained that the planet is literally burning and that she could not, in good faith, quote, bring a child into this warming world.
	Apparently, according to her tweets, she gets psychotherapy by Zoom.
	Sounds like she needs it.
	In 2020, she argued that the New York Times should not have published Senator Tom Cotton's op-ed piece on sending in the troops during the George Floyd riots.
	Shouldn't publish that stuff.
	And in 2021, she celebrated banning Donald Trump from social media.
	She wrote, must be satisfying to de-platform fascists.
	Even more satisfying?
	Not platforming them in the first place.
	Let me remind you, this lady is running National Public Radio.
	And she was, once upon a time, CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation.
	And this is quite revealing also.
	We know that Wikipedia is certainly not an even-handed and let's hear all sides kind of organization at all one bit.
	And she said she made censorship a critical part of her policy.
	She, quote, took a very active approach to disinformation.
	She coordinated censorship, quote, through conversations with government.
	And suppressed dissenting opinions related to the pandemic and the 2020 election.
	She complains that the First Amendment makes it, quote, a little bit tricky to suppress what she calls bad information.
	Oh my.
	Her policy at Wikipedia was, in her words, quote, to eliminate racist, misogynist, transphobic, and other forms of discriminatory content.
	I'm sure if she had her way, Mr. Kurzyna would be behind the wire, or at least somehow prevented from speaking to any groups larger than three.
	No, no, no.
	I think you look at the way that she tweets and what she said and her public takes, I I do not have anything positive to say about what I believe she would do to us.
	Nope, nope.
	She would not pat you on the head and say, there, there, poor boy.
	You just got things wrong, but we love you anyway.
	I don't think she would take that approach.
	Well, I looked her up personally.
	And interestingly, in July 2023, she married someone named Ashutosh Uppreti.
	And he looks like an Ashutosh Uppreti, by the way.
	And the New York Times article that reported on their romance says Upreti asked Catherine Marr out for drinks after they met at a friend's sedar.
	Sounds like the storybook romance, doesn't it?
	Well, the happily married couple has now adopted an Alaskan malamute mix.
	Well, Mr. Kershaw, don't dogs help warm the planet, just like children?
	I don't know.
	Apparently, she's 41 years old, so she may not yet add another human at any rate to the problem of global warming.
	Oh dear.
	So she is running National Public Radio, making sure we get fed just the right dose of propaganda every morning, and all things considered.
	All things considered.
	I always laugh when I hear that program name.
	All things considered.
	Do they consider your point of view my point of view?
	No, they do not.
	They do not.
	But there was a great New York Times analysis of just the complete decline of the NPR audience.
	And I want to say that, I want to say that something, I want to say that the article actually tried to
	point out that, oh, this is terrible.
	Like 80% of the listening audience is still white people.
	Even as it's declining, there's still a way to attack the whiteness of NPR and the whiteness of the listeners.
	So it's a fascinating take.
	But then of course you're a listener, so.
	You love working on NPR.
	I am a listener.
	Also, so, you know, the audience is declining and they're all white, too.
	I guess that reminds me of, what's that, the complaint about the resorts and the cat skills?
	The food is awful and the portions are so small.
	Anyway, just can't win, can you?
	It's National Public Radio.
	Well, I think when we talked about it, they wrote about how they'd had to cut staff and that they had eliminated several of their podcasts because they just don't have the audience they had.
	It is ironic.
	You have these white people.
	The staff is overwhelmingly white, although you occasionally, you know, they've been importing people with different accents to speak on National Public Radio.
	It used to be maybe 20 years ago.
	I've been listening to NPR for a long time.
	All of their people could speak English, and they sounded like native speakers of English, and they sounded like Americans.
	Now, you get people who are clearly black.
	You get people who are clearly Indian.
	You get people who are clearly got a kind of Hispanic accent.
	And whenever they give you a Hispanic-sounding name, they give it, oh, as best they can, a Spanish pronunciation.
	Nicaragua!
	Remember when Nicaragua was in the news?
	Everything is México, México, and El Salvador.
	They do that only for Spanish words and Spanish names, and they still talk about Paris, and they still talk about Kyoto, but nope, Spanish is just—all of their, you know, they'll have these long features about some obscure black musician you never heard of, and they are constantly engage in what I call the apotheosis of the Negro, but they
	still can't attract black listeners.
	I think it's partly because of their we know it all, we are so virtuous attitude.
	If I were black, it would drive me crazy no matter what my politics were.
	But I have this, it's almost, I don't know, I suffer from this fascination for NPR.
	I guess I like to know where my tax dollars are going.
	Yeah, if I could read this New York Times article that was published in 424 that talked
	about the business bust and the massive decline, even though NPR is trying to do everything
	possible to attract a more diverse listening audience.
	Here's the New York Times article reporting, it came as a disappointment to some at NPR's board last fall when they were presented with new internal data showing their efforts of diversification hadn't moved the needle much with Black and Hispanic podcast listeners.
	Black listeners made up roughly 11% of NPR's audience in the second quarter of 2023, completely unchanged from the roughly 11% from the same period in 2020.
	The data further showed the share of Hispanic listeners went up only two percentage points since 2020, to account for 16% of the total audience.
	One 2020 survey from the Pew Research Center found that of the people who named NPR as their main source for political and election news, 75% were white, more than any other outlet except Fox News.
	That's funny.
	That's funny.
	Oh, that just must grieve them.
	Oh, my.
	How can we appeal only to white people?
	Goodness gracious.
	Wow.
	And these are people for whom National Public Radio is their main source for political and election news?
	Correct.
	Is that what it says?
	Oh, pity them.
	Pity them.
	But I'm afraid there are quite a few of them, and they are the people who run the country.
	Anyway, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story on the horrible, hectic work schedules from which black people suffer.
	Now, I always thought they had a high unemployment rate, but apparently once they get a job, boy, they really work at them.
	Well, this is from The Griot, another one of those fantastic websites, that is.
	Catering exclusively to the interests of black people, and this headline was kind of striking.
	Black people disproportionately affected by hectic work schedules.
	A new study analyzed work schedules, health patterns, and sleep habits, found that people with stable employment patterns experienced better sleep and health.
	Wen Zhu Hong, a professor at New York University's Silver School of Social Work, examined the critical role employment plays in our health by examining how employment patterns throughout our working lives based on work schedules may shape our health at age 50.
	Findings were published in the scientific journal PLOS One, People magazine reported.
	The study analyzed data from a long-running survey of Americans ages 22 to 49 regarding
	their work schedules, health patterns, and sleep habits, concluding people with stable
	employment patterns had better sleep and health.
	You got that right, Mr. Taylor.
	I bet you didn't think that was going to be what they found, but stable employment patterns have ensured better sleep and health, even though, again, even if you have stability in employment, it doesn't mean your job isn't going to be difficult and you're going to have responsibilities and deadlines and commitments or deals to make or initiatives to see through, as long as you have stability.
	So, you know, that's not taken into account.
	Quote, our work now is making us sick and poor, Han told your favorite station, NPR.
	Quote, work is supposed to allow us to accumulate resources.
	But for a lot of people, their work doesn't allow them to do so.
	They actually become more and more miserable over time.
	End quote.
	I agree.
	The impact of challenging work conditions on different groups' health, considering factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, education, immigration status, and geographic location.
	And here we go.
	Black people with lower levels of education disproportionately reported working more night shifts, having irregular schedules, and getting less sleep than other groups, such as white people or those with higher levels of education.
	Well, wait.
	Are they comparing, for example, black people who are uneducated and white people who are uneducated?
	Or are they just comparing black people to white people and they're saying black people are more likely to work night shifts?
	That's all very murky to me.
	It's it's all yeah, this is all this is it's all this is actually put for sleep and I work really hard Just even reading this study Again the the article would go on to talk about diabetes and Quote work that is supposed to bring more resources To help us sustain a decent life has now become a vulnerability to a healthy life due to the increasing precarious Pre pre precarity and oh, yeah.
	Precarious precarity in our work.
	That's a strange.
	I've never seen that word before.
	I don't think it's a real word.
	It's precariousness.
	It's precariousness, yeah.
	It's, yeah, due to the increasing precarity and our work arrangements in this increasingly unequal society, Han told Science Daily.
	People with vulnerable social positions, females, blacks, low education, disproportionately shoulder these health consequences.
	You know, Mr. Taylor, I think this is another study where the conclusion was long, long established before the scientific method was even Well, Mr. Kersey, there's an obvious solution.
	Black people should just stop working.
	This lady just wanted to have another opportunity to get a study published where white people bad,
	white hard workers bad, white people with stable jobs bad, black people who disproportionately work night jobs.
	They're our best resource.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, there's an obvious solution.
	Black people should just stop working.
	Then all their problems will be solved, right?
	Whitey will pick up the tab.
	Seems to me that's the message.
	But let's see.
	Let us move on to Australia.
	Apparently, and I've not been following this closely, but the Australians are really doing a good job to try to cut down on immigration.
	And one of the ways they're doing it, universities are blocking applications from students from entire countries.
	Because they're considered to be high risks for a visa refusal.
	And the countries that are top of the list are India and Nepal.
	Now, the reason is the government's trying to slash migration.
	And this is a way of weeding out foreigners who use a student visa as a backdoor to the job market.
	The federal government updated its risk rankings of Australian universities and, say, top-tier Adelaide University.
	It says now it would accept undergraduate applications only from Indians if they are 20 years or younger, because anybody older than that is probably going to have his visa rejected, or if his visa is not rejected, he is probably going to stick around and try to get a job.
	Also, it is common to ban any Indian student who had a previous visa refusal from Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom.
	Many universities are doing the same thing.
	They just don't even let them apply.
	You want to apply to a university in Australia?
	Too bad!
	Indians can—Indians not—you know, no.
	And a high rate of visa rejections continues to higher risk rating.
	In other words, if you're a university and the people who are applying to your university, their visas are being rejected, then you get on some kind of blacklist for the federal government and they will make sure that you don't let these people in.
	Student visa refusals are, in fact, at a record high in Australia today.
	That's a good sign.
	Now, of course, it's a little bit too bad that they have to do it in this way.
	If somebody comes in on a student visa and then decides, OK, I'm going to stay and try to get a job, just kick him out then.
	Why not do that?
	But in any case, any little measure that is to cut down on this kind of backdoor immigration is great.
	Meanwhile, In India itself, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called Muslims infiltrators who would take India's wealth if his opponents gained power in the upcoming elections.
	He was talking about the opposition Indian National Congress Party.
	And Mr. Modi aimed his emotional appeal at women, addressing my mothers and sisters to say that his Congress opponents would take their gold and give it to Muslims.
	Now, isn't that quite an appeal?
	Implications like these that Muslims have too many babies, that they're coming for Hindus' wives and daughters, and that their nationality as Indians is itself in doubt are often made by representatives of Mr. Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, the BJP.
	That's a Hindu National Party.
	Usually Mr. Modi avoids even using the word Muslim.
	He finds ways to refer indirectly to India's largest minority group of 200 million, Now, of course, the president of the Congress Party, the opposition Congress Party, he says Mr. Modi's remarks are hate speech, but the BJP is scheduled as favorite to win another parliamentary majority when six weeks of voting concludes on June 1st.
	Rahul Gandhi, the public face the Congress Party said that Mr. Modi's comments had been intended as a diversion from subjects that trouble ordinary voters, real problems like joblessness and inflation.
	I just think this is a fascinating story about an Indian who is making a genuine national appeal.
	It's a religious appeal, but it's also a national appeal.
	This is the way the world works.
	And of course, all the Western journalists horrified that he should make an appeal of this kind.
	But this is the kind of thing that People really care about national unity.
	It's a sort of a different version of the AFD.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, we have very few minutes left.
	Can you fit a Caitlin Clark into about three or four minutes?
	Well, do you know the name Caitlin Clark?
	I know who that is.
	She's a basketball player, right?
	She's a white female basketball player, as has been proclaimed by many who follow basketball for a living, whose both vocation and avocation is watching women's basketball, or just basketball in general.
	They say she was the best player they've ever seen in college sports.
	USA Today columnists infuriated over Kaitlyn Clark's shoe deal.
	Shoe deal?
	She got a shoe deal.
	She got a shoe deal with Nike.
	Caitlin Clark, a lanky, white, three-point shooter for the Iowa Hawkeyes, who just got drafted by the WNBA, number one overall, I think the Indianapolis franchise.
	She just signed a historic eight-year, $28 million endorsement contract with Nike.
	That will include her own signature shoe.
	The Athletic first reported that Clark was on the verge of signing the record-breaking deal on April 17th.
	Instead of celebrating this historic deal and giving accolades and props to Clark for all she's done for women's basketball so far, one USA Today columnist cried foul because Clark's deal apparently shows black WNBA players aren't to be treated the same as white players.
	Now again, I've never watched a WNBA game.
	Regardless, I won't watch one with Caitlin Clarke.
	I wasn't going to watch one before Caitlin Clarke, but congrats to her on getting this big shoe deal.
	But once again, here's this publication, USA Today, which seems to exist just to publish racial grievances by black writers.
	In commenting on Clarke's deal, Mike Freeman of USA Today noted that, quote, Clarke would join only three other WNBA players with signature shoes.
	Brianna Stewart, Alaina Della Donne, And Sabrina Ionscu.
	I'm probably not pronouncing that last one correct, but my apologies there.
	You may notice a pattern.
	The three other players, like Clark, are white.
	Della Dawn Chu currently isn't listed on the Nike website, but the other two white female players are.
	Freeman argued that it's unfair that players like the Las Vegas Aces... Excuse me, I just lost my place here.
	Like the Las Vegas Aces...
	Yeah, yeah, my signature shoe.
	The white man can't jump, you know?
	own shoe.
	Quote, Wilson is one of the greatest stars of our time.
	She's also black.
	Any athlete of her caliber should have already had a signature shoe.
	It's the order of things.
	In fact, it should have happened years ago.
	You know, Mr. Taylor, I think you should have your own signature shoe.
	Yeah, yeah, my signature shoe.
	The white man can't jump, you know.
	I don't take my shoe.
	Freeman also pointed out that up until recently, almost every player who had a signature shoe
	in the WNBA was black.
	Quote, they've only been 12 players in the history of the WNBA with their own signature shoe.
	In the past, almost every signature shoe from 1995 to 2001 belonged to a black woman.
	And I can tell you that's a fact I didn't know, and that's a fact I don't care about.
	But anyways...
	Well, but wait a minute, wait a minute.
	So historically, the ones who get their signature shoes, they're black, but now white people
	are coming into their own.
	So clearly, they've had signature shoes in the past.
	My guess is, if they were really good superstars, they'd get their own shoe deals, too.
	It'd be a shoe-in.
	If they were marketable, if they were attracting an audience, I mean, Caitlin Clark and her heavily white Iowa team were bringing in unbelievable ratings that were comparable to what the men's were doing.
	It was unprecedented in college basketball history.
	And of course, you know, when you have a marketable, likable white player like Caitlin Clark, that's going to attract young white girls.
	It's kind of like the Taylor Swift effect.
	They want to see a They want to see somebody that they can relate to, and Caitlin Clarke is far more relatable to white young girls than, what's the girl's name that this guy mentioned?
	IJ?
	IJ Wilson?
	So whoever the heck that is.
	Oh dear, well gosh, yet another terrible grievance that our Dusky brethren have to face every day.
	Every day is just such a travail for them.
	Well, and every week, ladies and gentlemen, we run out of time.
	We run out of time despite all the wonderful stories we have for you.
	And this week is no exception.
	It is an honor and a joy and a privilege to spend this time with you.
	And I speak on behalf of the indispensable Paul Kersey in assuring you that we look forward eagerly to spending this time with you next week as well.
