Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than the great and the good and the noble Paul Kersey.
Today is July 24th, Autodominy 2024, but for excellent reasons I won't go into, this podcast will be posted the next day.
Now, Mr. Kersey, the first comment is aimed at you, so I hope you're bracing yourself.
Someone writes in to say, I don't know where Mr. Kersey gets his information, but Elon Musk was never scheduled to speak at the RNC.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you fooled me too.
I tuned in hoping to hear what Elon Musk had to say, but my expectations were dashed.
And I'm okay with being corrected.
I had read that incorrectly on Twitter, as, again, a lot of misinformation out there.
You've got to verify it before you... Yes, you do.
Now wait, you had read it incorrectly, or it had been incorrectly posted on Twitter?
Ah, great, great correction.
Yes, it had been incorrectly posted, and then some friends of mine had also reiterated that he was going to be speaking, which, of course, is not the case.
Okay, well, thank you, thank you, listeners.
Another comment.
I asked an acquaintance if he would vote for Kamala Harris, and he said no.
I jokingly asked, is it because she's a minority?
I expected him to cower and apologize.
To my surprise, he mentioned the 1790 Naturalization Act.
Also, John Jay's Federalist paper on the importance of national homogeneity.
He also said, if you take our Constitution to another culture or group, it's not going to work.
Our commenter goes on to say, people out there are waking up.
Well, that is one heck of a sophisticated and encouraging answer.
I think our listeners should have asked his acquaintance, do you know about Amaranth?
At Radio Renaissance.
What a great answer.
I mean, you would never expect that out of the blue from just somebody you didn't know very well, but that's a great answer.
1790 Naturalization Act.
Any of you listeners out there who don't know about it, look it up.
Here's another comment.
I've listened for about eight years to your podcast.
I mean, that's about ever since we started, isn't it, Mr. Kersey?
How long have we been doing this?
This is like the baton death march.
It goes on and on.
You know these things.
You have a chronological mind.
When did we first start to do this?
Probably roughly 2015, I'd say.
So I think it was during the election, right before the election year.
So when Trump campaign escalated.
OK, boy, well, I think this is a listener ab initio, as the Latinists would say.
He says, I've consumed your articles.
I've read Paved with Good Intentions in so many ways.
You have provided the voice of reason.
Many times I've thought to write in, but I have been in the army and beyond this in army intelligence for a decade.
And so I bought However, I E.T.S.
within the month and figured I'd reach out.
Well, I don't know what the verb to E.T.S.
is, but I looked it up and apparently it stands for Expiration Term of Service.
Means he is checking out.
That's army lingo for coming to the end of your duty period.
And he says, first, thank you for all you do.
It's honestly refreshing to hear voices that soberly, clearly see things as they are.
It's ironic that you are labeled the hateful ones, the supremacists, the savages, the reactionaries.
If more policymakers took you seriously, how much calmer this world would be.
What a nice comment.
And the second comment, I wish the Lord's blessings on you and your endeavors.
Well, thank you very much, listener.
Thank you very much.
And in that spirit, I'm afraid, Mr. Kersey, we have to move on to Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris.
Now, you know, I don't think I want to get into an extended conversation about her.
I understand you thrashed her nearly to death in your earlier podcast with the great and the good Gregory Hood.
But I did notice a couple of things.
In the first 24 hours after Joe Biden had decided he's putting out of the race, she raised $100 million.
Well, this is obviously very, very heavily planned well in advance.
There was already a greased up, ready to go Harris for president machinery all ready to go.
So I think there were things going along behind the scenes.
There she was jabbering enthusiastically about Joe Biden right up to the last minute, all the while preparing the machinery to take his place is the way I read it.
Also, I see her, now you may disagree, but I see her as much more race oriented than Barack Obama.
When Obama was elected, you know, of course, Hillary Clinton hung on for dear life, hung on by her teeth and her toenails, trying to make sure she got the nomination.
And I remember thinking, okay, now we have our first black president, which of course implies we need to get more.
That's the way the media always go.
Our first black president.
In any case, here's a black man in the White House.
And I thought to myself, okay, I'm going to keep an eye on this guy.
And I'm going to say to myself, I'm going to judge him by a particular standard.
Will he do anything about race that I can't imagine Hillary Clinton doing?
And honestly, Mr. Kersey, there was not a single thing that he did.
Except on his very first adventure into New York City to go watch that play Hamilton.
I'm not quite sure he would have done that.
But in terms of policy, I don't think he stepped out of line that much.
He did just typical progressive Democrat stuff.
So I don't think he was a real thoroughgoing race man in the sense that Kamala Harris is a race woman.
Perhaps you will disagree, but there was something else.
And a fellow named Michael Tracy said the other day, and I thought this was pretty good, Kamala got zero delegates in 2020.
She muscled her way to VP through insider machinations.
Well, she didn't really muscle her way in.
What happened was that Joe Biden said he was going to get a black woman.
So he limited the field of candidates to what, 6%, 6.5% of the population.
That's how, that's how you really go about getting the best candidate these days.
And he goes on to say she owes her entire ascendance to Democratic Party elites as opposed to voters.
So the idea that she is thinking that her opponent is a threat to democracy.
I mean, she has slid into her last two very important positions with hardly any Democratic input at all.
And then finally, one more thing about Kamala Harris, and then I will listen to you, Mr. Kersey.
Uh, this was a notice in the Free Beacon.
Now, we talked about it at the time, but back when the BLM rioters were rioting for goodness, truth, and beauty, and for the sainted George Floyd, she started raising money to bust the BLM rioters out of jail by posting bond.
Well, the Free Beacon points out that she is still actively lending her name for a bail fund that gets violent criminals out of jail.
Just as her nascent presidential campaign signals her candidacy will lean heavily on her credentials as a tough-on-crime former prosecutor who would, under ordinary circumstances, prosecute Donald Trump, Harris urged her followers to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund in June 2020.
Her fundraising efforts helped the fund raise more than $41 million in 2020.
But the group ended up using only a small fraction of this money, $210,000, to bail
out BLM rioters.
The remaining money was helped use to post bail for violent criminals just across the
board, absolutely across the board.
And the fact is, the vice president's funding, fundraising page for the group is still there.
It's got a photo of her cackling and it's her 2020 campaign logo.
So her image is still being used to spring these criminals from jail.
Now, the Minnesota Fund, which is insane, by the way.
Yeah, it's crazy.
The Minnesota Freedom Fund, it started off as a little charity with a $230,000 budget before Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States lent her prestige to it, and it turned it into a $41 million a year powerhouse.
And before she stepped in, the average bail that they could come up with was $342.
That means just get penny ante stuff off.
That went to $13,000 average, and some of the people that they let out were absolute hardened criminals.
In fact, the guy named Greg Lewin, the Freedom Fund's executive director, he says, I don't even look at the charge when I bail someone out.
I'll see it after I pay the bail.
Because that's not the point.
The point is to fight the system.
Some of the people that this guy bailed out have gone on to kill folks, at least two.
So here we have this guy whose idea is not just to support these people who, in his mind, were fighting for racial justice.
His idea is to simply destroy the system, let every criminal possible out of jail.
And Kamala is still lending her prestige and her and her funding.
I'm sorry, her prestige and her face to that effort.
I just hope that the Republicans latch onto it sometime soon.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you're going to tell us about the idea that Kamala Harris is a DEI hire.
But before you step into that particular story, any any commentary on what I've said about about the wonderful Kamala so far?
Yeah, well, I'll just point out, if you recall, back on July 20th, 2020, Biden said that four black women are on his VP list, but he wouldn't commit.
And he also on March 15th of that year he committed to a woman as his running mate very early on into the process.
A lot of people believe that's the reason why he won South Carolina.
If you recall, his campaign was floundering and he ended up winning South Carolina.
A lot, largely due to the black vote, obviously.
Well, his black buddies stepped in for him.
Who was that congressman in South Carolina who made a big pitch for him?
But yeah, didn't he promise it was not just going to be a woman, it was going to be a black woman?
He did.
Stacey Abrams!
Stacey Abrams was in the running.
Old fat Stacey.
Easy now.
If Kamala becomes president, that might be considered a heresy.
A violation of every speech known to man for calling Stacey Abrams anything but beautiful.
I think that's what you have to call her.
No, again, this is insane what's going on where if President Biden is unable to run for re-election, why is he still president?
After the debacle we saw in the debate with President Trump a few weeks ago, it's obvious he has some serious issues.
He's been in hiding since he's had COVID.
I think he's going to address the nation tonight, I believe.
Yes, we'll see if he can put three words together consecutively.
We'll find out.
No, no, he's going to.
But, you know, he's doing the noble thing.
He's passing the torch.
I'm sure he used that expression.
And he will praise Kamala as the best and the most wonderful vice president in American history.
And he said he will be stepping down.
In order to serve his party, serve democracy, and to serve the nation, I can bet you any amount of money.
I could have written a speech for him.
But, I mean, I don't think he should step down to the presidency at this point.
He's still president.
He should say he's not going to run.
So, why has he got to vacate?
There were a lot of machinations behind the scene when you saw the entire DNC apparatus, most of the major donors, like you said.
I believe she's raised something like $261 million.
It's a shocking amount of money that she's raised since She's become the presumptive nominee for the DNC.
But again, who knows what went on behind the scenes?
This upcoming month in Vogue, there's going to be a cover story of Jill Biden.
So I wonder if that's going to be scrap now since, well, Jill Biden will no longer be the first lady in a few months.
Well, the other thing I heard is that I believe Jill Biden had a campaign word chest of approximately $80 million.
And that this has been switched.
Bag and baggage into the Harris campaign.
I don't think that's legal, frankly.
I don't think you can just take... What are the donors going to think about that?
Could you take something that $80 million that's pledged to Joe Biden and suddenly give it to Bernie Sanders, for example?
I don't think that's legal, but that's what I heard has happened.
But yes, in the first 24 hours, I think she nailed down $100 million, something along those lines.
Really, really quite extraordinary.
The world is clamoring for Kamala, even if you're not, Mr. Kersey.
I am not.
I am not.
But I'll tell you someone who is up for a fight, and that is GOP Rep.
Tim Burchett, who called Kamala Harris a DEI Vice President.
The Republican also used the initialism for diversity, equity, and inclusion in describing the Secret Service Director, telling her she's a DEI horror story.
I love this, by the way.
Quote, the media propped up this president, lied to the American people for three years, and then dumped him for our DEI vice president, Birchett said on Twitter.
I know everyone calls it X. I'm still going to call it Twitter.
He also referred to Harris as a DEI hire in a brief interview Monday, telling CNN that the 2020 campaign candidate Joe Biden said he was going to hire a black female for vice president.
What about white females?
What about any other group?
Birchett added.
Biden said at the March 2020 Democrat debate that he'd choose a female running mate, but did not mention race or ethnicity initially.
Other top mate contenders at the time included Elizabeth Warren and Gretchen Whitmire, the governor of Michigan.
He announced Sunday that he was, of course, dropping out for his re-election bid, and he endorsed Harris for president the next day.
Burch is a longtime state rep of the state legislature in Tennessee and a former Knox County mayor who was first elected to Congress in 2018 and has previously cited DEI in disparaging Harris.
In an interview with Newsmax in June, he said, quote, when I hear her talk, I just scratch my head and think this is what DEI is really about.
It clearly is.
She checks all the boxes.
She'll say she's of Indian descent one day.
Then she'll say she's a black descent.
It's just box checking.
Here's first female and black vice president.
She's a daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father with a resume that includes being the D.A.
of San Francisco, attorney general of California and a U.S.
senator.
Burchett was one of eight Republicans who successfully voted to oust McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy, as House Speaker last year.
He's also used a DEI attack line at a heated House committee hearing this past Monday about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
You are a DEI horror story, he told Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle, who I believe resigned, correct?
She has resigned.
Yes, she finally resigned.
And by the way, I got to plug that fantastic two-part podcast you did with the former law
enforcement officer.
I thought that was fantastic as to the just shocking failures surrounding the protection
of the Secret Service that day in Pennsylvania when President Trump was the victim of assassination
attempt.
Well, I have to thank you for that endorsement.
I was really proud of that conversation.
I think this guy is great.
He's knowledgeable.
He's not a showboater.
He states the facts calmly and clearly, is not afraid to call a spade literally a spade.
And I thank you very much for that.
Those are two of the podcasts of which I'm proudest.
Of course, it doesn't compare to our many years of Yes, I agree, and I encourage, like I said, all of our listeners to check out those fascinating podcasts, two-part series, well worth listening to, especially the first part in regards to what was nearly a cataclysmic action in the assassination attempt.
And again, there's so many questions that people have.
That's not for us to talk about.
But it is very gratifying to see DEI being used as a slur, being used synonymous with the exact opposite of merit and a meritocracy.
Because again, that's what you and I espouse.
If we're going to have a racial society, we should have merit at the height of every activity, or you're going to continue to have racial, you're going to continue to have the racial groups pitted against one another.
And that's, of course, what we're seeing.
Well, I guess Congressman Burchett is precisely who Mara Gay was talking about.
Mara Gay is an editorial writer for the New York Times, and during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, that even-handed thoughtful program, when asked about how the Republicans were responding to the likelihood that Kamala would be their opponent, her answer was the following.
I guess, in not quite knowing what the line of attack should be, the Republicans in 2024, their first instinct is just to be racist and sexist.
To be racist and sexist.
I guess that's like a tick they've developed.
That was her answer.
Since they can't think of anything bad to say about Kavala, their first instinct is just to be racist and sexist.
She said that to co-host Mika Brzezinski.
Mika.
As she goes on to say, this isn't helping their case.
But I guess that's just their go-to line.
When all else fails, just try racism.
Mr. Kersey, clearly you can't criticize her without being a racist.
I suppose calling her a DEI hire, that is just ferociously racist.
But who have you heard of anywhere on the Republican side who's saying she's no good because she's black?
Or she's no good because she's a woman?
Has anybody said that?
Has anybody?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
But that's her view.
I think in her view, anyone who criticizes this marvelous half-Hindu obviously can be doing it only for racist and sexist reasons, not the way they think.
Now, she is... Yes, go ahead, please.
Is there anything in the AR archives that actually looks at how she identified because didn't she identify as Indian
initially?
Oh, she identifies as whatever suits when she is talking to...
The official card she needs to, I get it.
Yes, yes. I mean, she's a code switcher.
And whenever she's among Indians, she uses Indian slang and they all get happy, happy, happy.
Whenever she's among Jamaicans, she switches into Jamaican patois and they're happy, happy, happy.
And when she's talking to white folks, she tries to sound like a white person
and they're all just happy, happy, happy.
Now, back to Mara Gay.
One of these people who, you know, she's been a perpetual victim of racism and sexism.
She is melanin enhanced, and I don't know, should we say genitally deprived?
We daren't say that, daren't we?
In any case, you can tell from her career just how awful it's been.
This is from her biography on the New York Times.
Before coming to the Times in 2018, she was a city hall reporter at the Wall Street Journal, covering mayors Bill de Blasio and Michael Bloomberg, and dozens of other stories that have shaped the nation's largest, most dynamic city.
Ms.
Gay has also worked for the New York Daily News, The Atlantic, and The Daily, an all-digital newspaper owned by News Corp.
She has a degree in political science from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
I mean, clearly, clearly, she has just been fighting sexism and racism.
It's been a hard, terrible slog.
I would guess from her photographs, she's probably in her 30s.
At the oldest, her mid-40s.
And she is writing for prestige papers, been doing it for years.
Jobs that so many journalists would absolutely kill for.
But nope.
It's racism and sexism all the way.
All the way.
Good for you, Maragay, you have learned your lesson.
Now, one final thing about what's going on amongst the Dems.
There seems to be a little trouble in the Rainbow Coalition.
I'm sure many of our listeners know that Muslims are said to be something of a wild card in the must-win swing state of Michigan for the Democrats.
And there is a problem insofar as one of the vice presidential contenders, Josh Shapiro, the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, is one who will not appeal to Muslims.
Now, by now, I mean, things are moving so quickly, maybe he's out of contention for VP.
I don't know.
But apparently, as VP, Shapiro could help deliver the essential state of Pennsylvania, which is not far away.
But he is ardent support for Israel.
and criticism of pro-Gaza campus protests would reopen wounds in the Democratic Party
that have lately started to heal.
So saith Michelle Goldberg, another columnist at the New York Times.
Well, Michelle Goldberg would probably pay attention to this sort of thing.
Someone named Pamela Paul, an independent-minded liberal at the New York Times.
Can there be such a thing at the New York Times?
Goes on to say Shapiro would be an excellent vice presidential candidate, but given the unfortunate but real anti-Semitism on the left right now, this may not be the right time for a Jewish democratic presidential candidate.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
And John King told a CNN audience, he's Jewish.
There could be some risk in putting him on the ticket.
Now, Muslims are a tiny share of the nation's electorate, but there are 200,000 of them in Michigan's electorate of 5.6 million, and Biden won Michigan last time by, what, just a few thousand votes, didn't he?
So if all 200,000 of them swing one way, that could be curtains for Kamala Harris if they equate Kamala with Joe.
Now, the Muslim voters are all being herded together by Muslim political leaders who want to create a voting bloc that can extract concessions in exchange for the state's 15 electoral votes.
Now, what could that possibly mean?
Concessions for Muslims.
This is what we get in our multicultural, diverse society, Mr. Kersey.
Everybody's pushing for his own interests.
Who cares about the country?
It's me, me, me, us, us, us.
And of course, many important Muslims blame President Joe Biden.
For the slaughter of the homicides.
Wissam Charafeddim told the New York Times last month, no one will be voting for Biden.
It would be an insult even to ask.
And activist Samra Lukman says, you're hearing a lot of people who are so upset and so burned by Biden that there's a rejection of Democratic Party altogether.
And they're saying, even if it's Harris, we will never vote for a Democrat nominee.
So.
Yep, there's trouble in the rainbow paradise.
Now, I don't understand it.
Maybe my reading of the political tea leaves is myopic, but I've always had the impression that Donald Trump is even more gung-ho pro-Israel than Joe Biden ever was.
And they think they're going to get revenge on the Democrats by voting in Donald Trump.
This is a mystery to me.
But maybe Muslims don't have a reputation for being very high IQ.
Yeah, it's funny you bring this up.
Didn't yesterday in Washington DC, wasn't the Capitol stormed by protesters in support of Gaza?
I didn't notice.
Is that the Gaza gang tried to storm the Capitol?
Was there some sort of hearing going on and they pushed their way in?
I will confirm that.
Then I'll keep talking.
I'll keep talking.
I will switch subjects.
To something that's near and dear to my heart.
Yeah, and real quick, just to confirm, yes, 200 demonstrators staged a sit-in against the war in Gaza on Capitol Hill.
Well, that's probably because Bibi is in town, and Bibi is going to address a joint session of Congress, as he so often does.
Oh, dear.
Yes, was it Joe Sobern who referred to both houses of Congress as occupied territories?
Well, he was referred to as His Excellency by Mike, by the Speaker of the House when he was introduced today, so.
Oh, His Excellency.
Okay.
The only person who's ever been referred to as that was George Washington, and I think he even probably chagrined at that and said, please, you know, we're not, we're not a monarchy.
B.B.
probably said, Excellency?
That's not good enough.
Intergalactic superhero divinity.
That's Stacy Abrams.
You're right.
But, moving on, moving on to a subject with which I'd bet any amount of money that, wise and erudite as you are, Mr. Kersey, I bet you've never heard of negritude.
No, I haven't.
Please, have I. Well, okay, you're in for a treat.
Negritude.
And I'm summarizing an article from Wikipedia.
It's a framework of critique mainly developed by French-speaking intellectuals, writers, and politicians in the African diaspora.
During the 1930s.
So these are Africans who are living outside of Africa, mostly in France.
Negritude inspired the birth of many movements across the Afro diasporic world.
Again, that's black Africans living outside of Africa, the Afro diasporic world, including it inspired Afro surrealism.
That's another new one on me.
The Black is Beautiful Movement in the United States.
That was inspired by Negritude.
Frantz Fanon, you remember him.
He is a commie who wrote that very influential book, The Wretched of the Earth, which said that true liberation of colonialism only comes to those who kill the colonists.
Kill the colonists.
That's the only way you can be a true man, truly decolonized, is to slaughter whitey.
In any case, Frantz Fanon often referred to negritude in his writing.
And the movement's use of the word negritude was a way of reimagining the word negro in French, which is not quite like the N-word in English, but is still pejorative, reimagining the word into a form of empowerment.
Now, I point out, this is a somewhat obscure aspect of black consciousness.
I came across it when I was traveling in Senegal many, many years ago.
And it's talked about in Senegal because the very first president of Senegal, Leopold Senghor, he was one of the early pioneers of negritude.
So you hear a lot about negritude, or at least you did, gosh, in 1970.
Maybe people don't have shut up about negritude now, but that was a long time ago.
A lot of people talked about negritude in Senegal in those days.
But I think we should appropriate that term for our own purposes.
It has just such a lovely ring to it, don't you think?
Negritude, negritude.
And if it were up to me, I would define it as a combination of unique traits that constitute the ineffable essence of blackness.
Ineffable means something you can't put into words.
Negritude is a combination of unique traits that constitute the ineffable essence of blackness and that result in behavior that is rare or perhaps entirely unknown among those who do not take part in negritude.
That would be my definition.
And on this day, Here with Exhibit A, Mr. Kersey, of my new category, my new psychological and mental category, Negritude.
And it has to do with Stephanie Pedroso, age 36.
She made a reservation at the Astro Skate in Brandon, Florida for an after-hours birthday party for her daughter.
She failed One of my questions is, why a refund?
She breached the contract.
I'm sure it very clearly stated that if she breaches, she forfeits what was no doubt a down payment, a deposit on the skating rink.
is why a refund. She breached the contract. I'm sure it very clearly stated that if she breaches,
she forfeits what was no doubt a down payment, a deposit on the skating rink. In any case,
an outraged Pedroso, I mean, she is really the essence of negritude in some respects,
She posted an expletive-filled rant on her daughter's social media account, encouraging the girl's friend to show up at the rink anyway, party or no.
For y'all, if y'all still go up there, tear the fuck out of them.
I got some money for y'all and I'll pay y'all's asses.
Pedroza said in the video.
I hope everybody still show up and tear this bitch up tomorrow.
She was heard telling people to make them crackers work.
and stress them the fuck out. That was her message. Now, so on about 9.20pm deputies responded to
calls of a crowd of 500 people that stormed the rink leading to several fights. Now, Mr. Kersey,
do you think you could whistle up 500 friends at a moment's notice to tear up a skating rink?
No, I don't think I could get not even a tenth of that, not even one.
I couldn't get anybody to tear up a skating rink.
I couldn't get 500 friends to show up and offer them each $100.
But she did have 24 hours.
She did have 24 hours to do it.
And this, to me, this sounds like one of those special powers of negritude is being able to rouse a crowd of 500 people to go stress them the fuck out.
Well, deputies ordered the crowd to leave because they were trespassing, but the mob continued fighting, damaging nearby businesses and stealing and disrupting operations.
At a nearby barbershop, one victim was beaten and thrown through a plate glass window before being transported to an area hospital.
I wonder if he was one of the crackers that they wanted to stress out.
It took deputies nearly six hours to get the place under control.
And five local businesses were damaged.
Not just those crackers at Astroscape, it seems.
Crackers be crackers, Mr. Kane.
They all deserve to be stressed the fuck out.
Authorities arrested 23 minors and three adults at the scene.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, he said, this serves as a stark reminder of how quickly situations can spiral out of control.
Well, he's right.
Things can quickly go south.
It could have been an Amish cookout.
It could have been a bowling party of young Republicans.
But no, maybe not.
No, there's the missing ingredient, negritude.
And next, Mr. Kay, I believe you have a story that follows in the spirit of negritude, and it's a story about Six Flags Over Georgia.
We talked about Six Flags Over Georgia.
I've been there many times.
In fact, I used to be unchaperoned there, well under my age, well under the age of 15, having a great time hanging out with friends.
We would have a Place designated to meet at a certain time for lunch, and then a place after that for dinner, and then to go home.
And my friends and I would have free reign of the park, never had any problems, had a wonderful time riding all the rides.
That was a very different Atlanta, Georgia though.
Six Flags over Georgia is now going to require chaperones for those 15 and younger.
So this Friday, those ages 15 and younger will need a chaperone at 4 p.m.
Inside Six Flags Over Georgia, the amusement park announced.
And this is one of the biggest amusement parks in the South, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, for those who don't know.
Quote, the safety of our guests and team members have always been top priority at Six Flags Over Georgia.
Our guests expect and deserve a safe, family-friendly atmosphere when they visit Six Flags Over Georgia.
We're also headed into our busiest time of the year.
Accordingly, Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Entertainment Company want to take additional measures to meet that expectation.
The park declined to say whether the move was in response to a specific incident.
But a spokesperson for Cobb County Police said there had been no significant crimes reported.
However, though, on the park's opening day back in March, it was disrupted by gunfire and fighting.
A 15-year-old boy was critically injured and charged after being shot by Cobb Police during an exchange of gunshots outside the park.
Cobb Police said they helped Six Flags Security with an unruly crowd that swelled to about 600 people who were running through the park and fighting.
I'm sure you recall the footage of that.
It was a melanin-enhanced crowd.
That was partaking in that melee, if you will.
After the shooting, Cobb, public safety officials joined Mapleton Mayor Michael Owens and other community leaders to discuss ways to keep crime out of the park.
Quote, having a unified and cohesive collaborative response is really what saves lives, what keeps the community safe.
Public Safety Director Mike Register previously said, it's also a work in progress.
We can't have contingencies for everything, but we can do What we can do is have response protocols that we can adjust as a situation entails, end quote.
The move comes as many other theme parks around the U.S.
have also implemented increased security measures.
That includes Walt Disney World.
So under the new policy, all guests under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a chaperone who's at least 21 years old in order to be admitted to or remain in the park at 4 p.m.
Chaperone must present a government-issued photo ID with date of birth and ticket entry.
One chaperone may accompany no more than 10 guests ages 15 or younger per day.
That's a lot of guests to chaperone, by the way.
And they must remain in the park and be available by phone.
Young guests without a chaperone will be asked to leave.
This sounds like a recipe for disaster, by the way.
You mean, you mean letting people have 10 people that they're squiring around?
Letting people have 10 people and just be able and accessible by phone.
How are they being tracked?
How are they being watched?
How are they being, how's it being coordinated?
It just sounds like an absolute disaster waiting to happen and to befall anybody who has the unfortunate, unfortunate situation of being in a situation like what happened on the day it opened back in March.
You know, the problem, let's face it, the problem is going to be black people.
Well, nobody dares say that, but this is one of these typical situations in which everyone, everyone, the people like you as a youth, when you were what, 12, 13, whatever age you were, you were running around freely causing no trouble at all.
But because of the misbehavior of blacks, everybody gets punished.
It's a problem for everybody.
No one, no one, absolutely no one dares say it, but perhaps a few people like you and me on this hate-filled podcast.
Well, there's a reason that Dr. King's daughter couldn't go to Funtown, if you recall.
I think that was in his letter from a Birmingham jail that he wrote, and he was upset that one of the parks was segregated.
We see parks closing all across the country since segregation ended because of what happens with security, because of what happens with violence, because of what happens with disruptions, with With riots and with melees as again on opening day of Six Flags, it was it was a national news story of the violence that happened.
I remember.
I remember.
I remember very well.
This stuff is nuts.
Yeah, we had season passes and we would basically be told, hey, be here at this time.
OK, we'll be there.
We'll see you there.
We'll grab lunch.
It'll be great.
And we'd go ride all the rides, have a blast.
That was the Batman ride was phenomenal.
Do some shows.
Try and talk to some girls, and then we'd show up, we'd eat lunch.
Wait.
We're all in the lunch hour room.
Under age 14, you're already trying to pick up girls?
Mmm.
You're an advanced, you're an advanced operator.
We were, this is what?
This is 6th, 7th, 8th, this is 7th or 8th grade.
Yeah, one of my friends, he was, he had no problem talking to girls.
We met a lot of girls from all the, uh, all the various, uh, counties that are now majority non-white.
Um, it's, it's just fascinating to think back on, on just like a 20, 30 year time period.
Of really 30 years.
I'd say 25 years of just how drastic the racial transformation of Metro Atlanta has been.
I believe Cobb County is even majority minority now.
So that's solidly white.
Can you can you imagine?
Can you imagine a theme park like this?
It takes videos of every single instance of disruption and it determines every single instance of disruption is caused by melanin enhanced park goers.
And so it decides, well, look, we are going to require chaperones of only melanin-enhanced youngsters.
That would be a logical thing to do.
Absolutely logical.
If you surveyed all the airlines in the country, and every single time that an airplane fell out of the sky and people died, it was always the same airline.
You would say, I'm not going to ride that airline.
This would be so utterly logical.
there would be an instant lawsuit against that place.
Agreed.
Absolutely instant lawsuit.
So everybody's punished for the misbehavior of a minority.
Agreed.
No, it's just so sad because you think about water parks, fun parks, fun places.
And again, the article let slip the fact that this has happened to happen all across the country.
And you're gonna see more and more places institute stricter and stricter rules,
which unfortunately impact those who are abiding by the rules.
That's right.
That's the way it always works.
They're the unfortunate ones who won't be able to have that freedom and autonomy, which it allows for some really cool experiences where you get to spend time with your friends without being Those days are gone.
Those days are gone.
Well, Mr. Kersey, here's a good news story.
They trust you.
And unfortunately, that country which existed up until the late 90s is pretty much gone.
Because I can tell you, yeah, real quick, in 99, I guess I was 15, yeah, I went
and I was with a girl and we had the park to ourselves.
And so we were unsupervised, we had fun.
We were- Those days are gone.
Those days are gone.
Well, Mr. Kersey, here's a good news story.
John Deere, tractor maker, and they make other agricultural machinery too.
On Tuesday said it would no longer participate in social or cultural awareness events.
Now you ask yourself, why would a tractor maker participate in any social or cultural awareness event?
In any case, the company will also audit its mandated training materials to make sure they don't contain socially motivated messages.
Now, of course, why in heaven's name would a tractor maker or any Manufacturer or publicly traded company have socially motivated messages in their required training materials.
The move comes only weeks after Tractor Supply shut down its corporate diversity efforts and it illustrates the growing pressure on companies to shell DEI initiatives.
The announcements by both companies come amid an online campaign by conservative activists.
Of course, the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling ending affirmative action in college admissions has further encouraged movements of this kind.
And Track to Supply last month axed every aspect of DEI and every DEI aspiration.
It also promised it would no longer submit data to the Human Rights Campaign.
This is the nation's biggest advocacy group for LGBTQ++ rights.
Now, Why would any company submit any kind of data at all to an activist organization?
Does it do a head count of the sexually confused on the payroll or on the board?
I mean, what else would it possibly report to a homosexual advocacy organization?
How many employees wear pink underwear?
I mean, this is nuts.
Why would it?
I just don't get it at all.
In any case, whatever it's been doing, it was idiotic and it has stopped.
Now, believe it or not, Mr. Kersey, the National Black Farmers Association president, John Boyd, on Wednesday, that was just the day after the announcement, he called for the resignation of the CEO of John Deere and a boycott of the company saying John Deere quote continues to move in the wrong direction and it has quote failed to show its support for the black farmers since the organization's founding.
I don't know when that was.
Well, what kind of support do you want and expect, Mr. Boyd?
Huh?
Free tractors for blacks?
I mean, Juneteenth parties?
MLK, I don't know, cut rate, what is it, Black Friday specials?
Hold on, Mr. T. Hold on, Mr. T. It should be 40 acres and a John Deere.
Come on.
Again, there's that city that they tried to create in Georgia for black families so they could exist.
I mean, shouldn't that be sponsored exclusively by John Deere so they can have their own farm?
They can become self-sufficient when it comes to food production.
They can basically show that, hey, guess what?
You know, Zimbabwe might have been a net importer of food after Rhodesia failed, but we're going to do it all ourselves.
And guess what?
John Deere is going to sponsor it all.
And maybe they'll put a tractor supply store in, too.
That's right.
You talked about how amazing that store was.
I've never been in one.
Oh, they're fun.
Yes.
They're like Bass Pro Shops, just for a completely different universe.
I love walking around in these real specialty stores, but in any case, that's great.
40 acres and a John Deere.
Yes, I'm sure that's what he was expecting.
Mr. Boyd, I think you ain't going to get it.
Uh, the company, let's see, come on, let's, oh, this stuff is just so idiotic.
And Target last month said it was reducing the count of stores that were carrying Pride Month related merchandise after the retail chain had in prior years faced confrontational behavior that had threatened workers' safety.
Now, I hadn't read about any of this, Mr. Corsi.
I don't know if you had either, but apparently people are so upset about the rainbow flag onesies for little children that some people must have said rude remarks about the workers, about the people selling, peddling this stuff.
Now, does this suggest that violence or threatened violence works?
It sure works for the other side, doesn't it?
But another story in the spirit of negritude Isn't there going to be a Michael Brown Way very soon?
Well, they're going to try and do that real quick.
They're going to try and do that.
Robbie Starbucks, by the way, is the guy who did the impact on tractor supply.
And then, of course, now he's been utilizing social media to a fascinating level of results, positive results.
And I think that's a great thing that's happened.
Now, he's not even a white man, isn't he?
Is he some sort of subcontinental or something?
I don't know the answer to that.
I'm not going to guess.
I don't think I've even seen a photo of him.
But he's doing a phenomenal job utilizing Twitter to activate and get people to respond and say, hey, yeah, this needs to end.
And again, that goes back to that first story that I talked about, the DEI stuff.
People are pushing back on this and that's the Chris Ruffo effect That's guys who are trying to win and and as we've talked about him many times in this podcast That's one of the great things about Ron DeSantis and Disney is that they utilize that those those ideas of DEI being a negative thing and it is hurting companies and I did read recently at zero hedge where Starbuck where Robbie is going to go after Harley Davidson now for the same thing So basically they're going company by company by company And they're saying, hey, this needs to change.
You're pushing all this stuff.
It's idiotic.
Yes.
Harley Davidson.
Good grief.
It wants lesbians and black people on their motorcycles.
Is that what the whole thing is about?
It's just idiotic.
That's what everything's about.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah.
It's fascinating that we're talking about this because You talk about idiotic.
St.
Louis bill would rename street outside City Hall after Michael Brown.
10 years, 10 years to the date, almost.
A new St.
Louis board bill calls to rename part of a street near City Hall after Michael Brown Jr., nearly a decade since his death in Ferguson, Missouri.
Alderman Rasheen Aldridge formally introduced Board Bill 69 on Friday, which would create an honorary street name of Michael O.D.
Brownway.
The impact!
The impact!
Rioting!
Craziness!
a stretch of Tucker Boulevard from Clark Avenue to Market Street after Brown.
Lies!
I wonder if that's named after the gentleman from the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Anyways, the board bill reads, in part, Michael Brown's legacy on the city of St. Louis should
be recognized for the impact that his life had on our city, on our nation, and across
the world.
End quote.
The impact, the impact, rioting, craziness, lies.
Yes, he had quite an impact, so he deserves a treat.
Yeah, no, I agree.
I agree.
On August 9, 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man, this is the article, by the way, from Fox 2 now, I'm just reading it.
An unarmed 18-year-old black man was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson following an altercation.
Of course, Darren Wilson was white.
Police documents from 2014 allege Brown was killed after he was suspected of stealing from a local convenience store.
Brown's death drew near I'm sorry, Brown's death drew national attention to police brutality and racial inequality in the U.S., coinciding with the early stages of the Black Lives Matter movement.
His death led to weeks of unrest and protests in Ferguson and other U.S.
cities, including violent confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement.
According to the bill's text, Brown's death forged a political coalition which helped reform St.
Louis City politics and elect Mr. Taylor more black candidates to city offices.
Wait, this is a Fox article, and it's writing about the encounter with, that was, uh, that was Darren Wilson, was it not?
As if he shot him for shoplifting.
Yeah.
Well, you read that.
It makes it sound like that.
Well, I mean, even Fox news, even Fox news is falling for this kind
of preposterous baloney.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, it doesn't, it doesn't get into the fact that this guy, this guy
walked up to Darren Wilson's car cop car.
He was walking in the middle of the street.
Darren Wilson, uh, knew that he was wanted for shoplifting.
And, uh, uh, he punches him through the window.
Bam, bam, bam, tries to reach for his gun and a shot goes off.
And, uh, the first shot actually hits Darren Wilson in the thumb while he's
trying to wrestle his restless gun away.
And then they're both out of the car and he comes charging at
Darren Wilson with his head down.
And it makes it sound as though he was shot.
He was shot for shoplifting.
I mean, come on Fox News.
And then there was all this preposterous lying about, he had his hands up in the air, don't shoot, don't shoot, which is all just complete manufactured baloney.
And even Eric Holder, the black attorney general for Barack Obama, realized that all this was done in legitimate self-defense.
What?
What?
Baloney?
And Fox can't even say that?
What's fascinating, if you recall, Darren Wilson, I guess when he was being deposed or when he did his testimony with the grand jury or with whatever apparatus from the legal system interviewed him about what happened, he said it was this big Hulk Hogan looking dude.
I'll never forget that as we discussed Hulk Hogan last week at the RNC.
That's how that's how Darren Wilson described Michael Brown, who, of course, was a very large black man.
who attacked him. And now you might have a street named after him. The bill had previously served
with the Ferguson Commission. I'm sorry, Aldridge, who introduced the bill, had previously served with
the Ferguson Commission to study social and economic conditions in the St. Louis region.
Following Brown's death, according to the St. Louis ordinances, the bill would require at least
60 percent support among registered voters who reside or own a business on the stretch of Tucker
Boulevard that could be renamed for an honorary street.
Those registered voters would need to sign a petition.
After that, the Board of Aldermen would need to formally recognize the petition before any changes.
So it has an arduous journey to go through, but the fact that it is even put forward is such an embarrassment.
And then there are a few honorary street names in the city of St.
Louis right now named after former Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck, former blues player, former St.
Louis blues great from the NHL, National Hockey League, Brett Hull, and civil rights activist Dred Scott.
So, you know, St.
Louis is one of those cities that is hemorrhaging citizens, especially at a point where it looked like it was going to go majority white.
It's pretty close to that, actually.
But I think after what happened to Mark McCluskey and his wife back in 2020, that's not something that law-abiding citizens really want to have to deal with anymore in regards to just the negritude, as you called it, that seems to be pervasive and omnipresent in St.
Louis that they would even consider honoring.
Someone like Michael Brown.
Well, this new street will bring white people back by the boatload.
No question about it.
No question about it.
Well, you know, there was an interesting little article that and I thought about this in the context of all of these companies getting rid of DEI.
And there's something of an anti-ESG backlash as well.
Which is very big.
Yes, and a class action lawsuit against American Airlines was filed by the employees opposed to the environmental, social, and governance funds used in their 401ks.
That's ESG, environmental, social, and governance.
And they say that the lawsuit, certified as a class action, may include as many as 100,000 retirement plan owners.
The lawsuit argues that by engaging with investment firms that Pursue an ESG agenda, American Airlines failed its duty to employees.
Its duty to employees, of course, is to get a high return.
It claims, the lawsuit claims that firms such as BlackRock are prioritizing socio-political outcomes rather than exclusively financial returns and accuses American Airlines of failing to safeguard its employees financial interests.
The lawsuit falls under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act, Erisa.
And how it has interpreted has come under serious debate in recent years, especially concerning ESG investments.
In 2022, the Biden administration released new rules designed to encourage social and activist policy goals, such as renewable energy, social equity, in making ESG investing decisions.
Despite this, Arisa still requires that employers should make decisions based exclusively on financial factors.
Only in limited circumstances can non-financial ESG factors be used to pick an investment.
It has to be an absolute tiebreaker, which allows funds to use collateral benefits, so-called, only when two investments otherwise provide equal financial returns.
Now remember, that was what affirmative action was supposed to be like in the old days, remember?
It was just going to be, oh, you got equally qualified candidates.
Then, you know, we'll just, we'll throw a bone to the black guy.
In any case, the American Airlines pilots and its lawyers have to demonstrate the company violated a fiduciary duty, the legal obligation to act in the best interests of the plan members when it decided to work with BlackRock and these other woke investment firms.
The rising backlash against ESG has caused companies to go quiet about what they're doing.
This is now so prevalent that a term has been coined for it.
In other words, doing ESG without talking about it, it's called greenhushing.
Greenhushing.
You're going to do all this green stuff, all this equity stuff, but it's greenhushing when you do it and don't talk about it.
BlackRock, the asset manager, repeatedly mentioned the lawsuit stopped using the term ESG last year.
And as it turns out, employees at companies, Google is a great example, recently asked their employers to divest 401k from fossil fuels.
But such a policy could expose companies to similar fiduciary duty lawsuits.
I thought that was that was really really a fascinating thing.
So chalk one up, chalk another one up for at least an attempt to use the law to try to re-establish a little bit of sanity.
Now here's a bit of a story about London and some of these are eye-opening numbers.
Britain's largest police force, the Metropolitan Police Department, has failed to identify a suspect in a single reported burglary In 166 neighborhoods in the past three years, not one suspect.
Not one.
It has also failed to find a single suspect in a robbery, bike theft, or vehicle crime in those areas over three years.
Now these 166 neighborhoods, they cover just about all of central London, which is majority non-white these days.
Mr. Kersey, three years!
They haven't caught a burglar.
They haven't caught a robber.
They haven't caught a car thief!
Sheesh!
And as a police spokesman points out, if the chance of being caught is so low, there's no deterrence.
In one area around Oxford Circus and Regent Street.
I mean, those are important parts of town.
That's real downtown stuff.
There are more than 10,000 thefts from people in three years.
And a phone snatcher, that's one of the things they like to do.
They walk up to somebody listening to a cell phone.
They'll snatch his cell phone.
And one phone snatcher told media, I don't give a fuck about what the police are doing.
I ain't going to be nicked.
Now, do you know that expression, Mr. Curzon, nicked?
I do not know that expression.
That is British for being arrested.
I ain't gonna get nicked.
I was gonna guess that.
I was gonna guess that.
Yes, yes.
So, this is probably one of our dusky new Britishers.
He's picked up the lingo in no time at all.
I ain't gonna get nicked, says he.
Now, another dusky but more law-abiding person, probably, by the name of Imran Kanji, whose phone was stolen, says, two weeks later, my phone pinged in China.
His iPhone still had its tracking enabled and it ended up in the Shenzhen area, which is a hub for electronics trading.
Nice to know that your phone is taking a world tour.
An insider from one of the networks that ships stolen phones and parts overseas, and parts!
Golly, sometimes I guess the parts are important if you take them out and ship them separately.
In any case, told A newspaper that they can make up to 250 pounds per phone.
That's about $300, which can earn them up to 15,000 pounds a month.
That's an individual.
That's nearly $20,000 a month.
No wonder they're snatching these things so frequently, especially if they can't get caught.
He said, cheap phones, I can make 100 pounds to 150 pounds.
If it's a good phone like an iPhone 15 Pro Max, I can earn 250.
That makes maybe 12,000, 15,000 pounds a month.
$20,000 a month stealing and reselling fancy cell phones to the Chinese.
That's the new Great Britain for you.
The Great Britain.
Minor Britain, I should say.
Now, one last piece about About Great Britain.
There was a mass riot in Leeds, Yorkshire.
It was last Thursday, with rioters setting fire to a double-decker bus, overturning a police car, trying to beat it to smithereens.
Hundreds of locals clashed with officers, pelted police vans with rocks and bricks.
It's believed to have broken out after social services took away four children from a family.
Now, the West Yorkshire police believe the disorder was, quote, instigated by a criminal minority.
And urged outsiders to refrain from speculating on the cause.
But, Nigel Farage, good old Nigel, he says the riot represents the politics of the subcontinent.
That means India, Pakistan.
His remarks led to demands for an apology from Alex Sobel, the Labour MP for Leeds Central.
He says, this is a situation you know nothing about, no one has briefed you, and I expect an apology.
You know what Farage said?
When will you and the Labour Party apologize for mass migration?
Isn't that something else?
Richard Burgon, the Labour MP for Leeds East, said he'd spoken to the residents of the area and he says they care passionately about their community.
They want the disorder to end.
If they want the disorder to end, you don't turn over police cars, now do you?
You don't chase the police out of it.
And the guy says they want the misinformation from far to stop.
In other words, noticing that everybody in the video of all of this, all of this violence and craziness is a paki.
That's misinformation.
Lee Anderson, the reform MP, that's the party that Farage is running now.
He says that he condemned the disgraceful scenes that he said import a third world culture and you get a third world and you get third world behavior.
These animals need to be locked up for good.
Well, hooray!
Hooray!
Nice to see a few Brits standing up for their own country.
Well, Mr. Kersey, doggone it, we're out of time.
So we have to stop.
It's always a shock and a disappointment when we have to stop.
But ladies and gentlemen, we really enjoy and appreciate this time we spend with you.
And although I forgot to tell you how to get in touch with us, well, I think we'll do that.
We'll go over time and we'll say so.
Mr. Kersey, what do you say?
How can you get in touch with you directly, Mr. Kersey?
Really simple, ladies and gentlemen.
