	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 and often incandescent co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
	And we will begin today's episode, just as we always do, with comments from listeners.
	And our first commenter writes this.
	Last year, the El Segundo California Little League team defeated Curacao to win the Little League World Series Championship.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, you are far more knowledgeable about sports than I.
	I had no idea that the Caribbean island of Curaçao was a contender for the Little League World Series championship.
	I know that the Japanese and the Koreans, those boys are really good and sometimes beat the American team.
	But Curaçao, were you aware of that?
	Well, Mr. Taylor, good morning, I should say, and good greetings to all of our listeners around the world.
	Little League World Series is a phenomenal time.
	I played pretty high level baseball.
	I was a pitcher.
	And so really, Mr. Taylor, as long as you have outstanding pitching for your team, you can go pretty far in a tournament.
	So I'd imagine that that team had outstanding pitching and considering how many of the Major League Baseball rosters are populated by individuals from the Caribbean, especially from the Dominican Republic.
	Yeah, I'm not that surprised at all.
	Well, I know about the Dominicans, but Curacao?
	Gosh, I guess baseball is just throughout the Caribbean, just like pirates in the old days.
	Well, anyway, let me continue our listener's comments.
	He said the Little League championship team was overwhelmingly white.
	El Segundo is a coastal town in Los Angeles County, bordering LAX and an oil refinery.
	It's 69% white.
	That's remarkable for California these days.
	Only 2% black.
	It's distinguished by its small-town, Main Street, low-crime rate, vigilant police, classic architecture, and traditional family-friendly culture.
	El Segundo is affectionately known as Mayberry by the Sea to commemorate its small-town ambience amid the urban sprawl of Los Angeles County.
	Alas, an anti-racist group called Black in Mayberry has a website dedicated to the usual blackety-black.
	It sponsored a Juneteenth event in the city this summer.
	It is sad to see one of the few remaining white-topias oppressed by this scourge of anti-racism.
	Now, there is a Black in Mayberry website, and I checked it out.
	It says, through Black in Mayberry, black people in the predominantly white town of El Segundo have set aside their inhibitions and made themselves vulnerable in order to share the truth.
	Oh, the poor dears have made themselves vulnerable.
	We hope that these short episodes, each three to four minutes on topics rarely discussed publicly, will create a safe and unfiltered opportunity to learn more about what it is to be black in Mayberry.
	Well, these are video clips.
	I watched one.
	They all moan about just how awful it is to be black in El Segundo.
	Pathetic stuff, I'm sure.
	Most of it strictly imaginary.
	Actually, Mr. Taylor, I do want to jump in.
	Compton, no shortage of black people there, but there you go. El Segundo now has its very own
	Juneteenth celebration. Actually, Mr. Taylor, I do want to jump in. Compton has a shortage of black people considering
	that it's basically been colonized by all sorts of Hispanics at this point. That's true. That's
	true. They're shoving out the blocks.
	We're no longer the days when you could make a major top-selling rap album
	called Straight Outta Compton. Yeah, I guess they went Straight Outta Compton someplace else, but
	you're quite right to correct me.
	You've got some great cred knowing that title of that album by N.W.A.
	And we won't even say what N.W.A.
	stands for because I know what I dare not say it being melanin deprived as I am.
	It stands for the National Wrestling Alliance.
	Yes.
	Sorry.
	Now, another commenter says, you said last week that after Barack Obama was elected, you kept an eye on him to see if he did anything on race, pro-black or anti-white, that you could not imagine Hillary Clinton doing if she had been elected president.
	And you said that he pretty much passed the test.
	Well, you missed something.
	And this is pretty funny.
	When Trayvon Martin was shot, I don't think Hillary Clinton would have said, he could have been my son.
	Well, not that is unless you really wanted to appeal to the black male vote.
	Well, yes, our listener is quite correct.
	I don't think Hillary would have said that.
	Now, here is another commenter who sends in a story which we had missed.
	It has to do with the New Haven police having arrested The young man that they said shot 16-year-old Joshua Vasquez to death one and a half years ago, and they also arrested the shooter's mother.
	Young Vasquez was shot while bicycling down Valley Street.
	The driver of the car pulled up alongside him.
	A conversation ensued, and then gunfire erupted from the car.
	You know, gunfire just erupted.
	It's this natural phenomenon.
	It was as if there had been an earthquake.
	Alerted by the ShotSpotter system, now you and I are big fans of ShotSpotter, officers arrived to find Vasquez lying face down in the street, dead.
	The vehicle is a Toyota RAV4 registered to the suspect's mother, who police said was driving the vehicle.
	An arrest warrant has also been issued for a third suspect in the incident, an associate of the shooter's mother, for allegedly tampering with evidence.
	New Haven police gave a press conference to announce the arrest, and this follows nine shootings in the previous 12 days.
	Nine shootings in the previous 12 days.
	Now, New Haven is not a big place.
	And when I was a student there, I don't think we ever had nine shootings in 12 days.
	But this is a charming mother and son story, I guess.
	So they just do everything together.
	And when son wants to put a hit on our rival, 16-year-old Joshua Vasquez, she drives him to the scene and then she drives him away.
	Anyway, I guess this is our last comment.
	It's about the Olympics.
	My family and I are watching.
	The shameless blackification of every aspect of it is nauseating.
	For example, rapper Snoop Dogg, a confirmed and self-proclaimed Crips gang member and daily dope smoker, is apparently the unofficial mascot of the games.
	They cut to him in the stands at every opportunity.
	It's revolting.
	On our show today, I said, I'm imagining the ancient Greeks of Olympia in 776 BC muttering among themselves in the stands, this would be so much better if we had some brainless, dope-smoking black in the crowd for everyone to marvel upon.
	Here is a ridiculous example of blackness.
	Probably the best female swimmer on earth today, Katie Ledecky, is being interviewed by some crass, talentless black woman just to make sure whites are overly celebrated.
	And he sent along a link I watched, and this is someone named Leslie Jones, who is apparently some sort of television celebrity reporterette.
	Our listener goes on to say, listen to her line of questioning and stunning command of the language.
	Well, after I listened for a while, I gave up after she unbosomed this great line.
	In the 1500 meters, how do you not pee in the pool?
	Good grief!
	Here she's talking to this absolutely charming lady, by the way.
	Katie Ledecky seems very winsome, not at all full of herself.
	And she asked her, in the 1500 meters, how do you not pee in the pool?
	I mean, the answer should have been, You hold your water, woman.
	You don't behave like some sort of African savage.
	But that is not how Katie Ledecky replied.
	In any case, for heaven's sake, how do you not pee in the pool?
	Wow, I guess, you know, a lot of black people are just asking themselves that question.
	How do these white people manage not to pee in the pool?
	We pee in the pool all the time.
	That's one of the first things that you learn of pool etiquette, Mr. Taylor, if you belong to a country club or you belong to a pool and you go swimming at a friend's house.
	I remember one time I was at a pool and they had a sign on the fence that said Notice there is no P in ool.
	Please keep it that way.
	And I thought that was pretty clever.
	This is something people take absolutely for granted.
	Good grief.
	When I was a child, we used to go swimming in a lake and a lot of missionary children would show up there.
	We were under strict order.
	I mean, there's a big lake.
	It was three miles across.
	Do not pee in the water.
	I mean, everybody, I mean, that was just unthinkable.
	Anyway, I guess some people think the unthinkable.
	You know, that's dream the impossible dream.
	Now, ladies and gentlemen, we love hearing from you.
	We really do.
	And there are two ways to do so.
	One way is to write to... Let them have it, Mr. Kersey.
	Yeah, well, it's really simple.
	Shoot me an email.
	BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	Really simple.
	BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
	Or you head to MRen.com and you simply go to the Contact us, Tab, and you can send a message directly to me.
	And I particularly like corrections.
	I'm an old, befuddled geezer, and I make mistakes.
	And so I love it when people set me straight.
	And somebody setting me straight on this thing about probably Hillary Clinton would never have claimed to be Trayvon Martin's mother, absolutely right on.
	I appreciate that very much.
	Now, speaking of the Olympic Games, Mr. Curtis, did you know that there are Nazis at the games?
	People are chanting Heil Hitler in the stands and giving the straight arm salute.
	It sounds like Berlin in 1936.
	Did you know about that?
	Apparently, at a soccer match, people in the stands made the Nazi salute and chanted Heil Hitler during the playing of Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem.
	A Paris Olympic spokesman said a complaint has been lodged by Paris 2024, which is at the disposal of the authorities to assist with an investigation.
	They're going to investigate this.
	Nazis on the loose.
	The anti-Israel demonstrators were eventually kicked out of the stadium.
	This marks the second time since the Olympics began that the Israeli soccer team has faced protesters.
	The team was greeted with the same display.
	Heil Hitler in a straight-arm salute last Wednesday when it faced off against the African country of Mali.
	The demonstrators were seen booing and whistling during the national anthem and Sieg Heil.
	Israeli athletes in Paris are being escorted to and from events by elite tactical units, and they have 24-hour round-the-clock protection.
	Oh boy, those nasty white supremacist Nazis, gee.
	I guess, you know, the white supremacists that Joe and Kamala Harris have been warning us about somehow showed up in Paris, those tricky world-traveling fellows.
	Nazis are everywhere, Mr. K. But actually, I saw some video, and they were all dark-skinned Middle Easterners waving Palestinian flags.
	So that, of course, It's why you hadn't heard about it.
	It's not news at all, because it is just so confusing and puzzling to our rulers when their BIPOC Muslim darlings, their pets, how can they be Nazis?
	Oh gosh, it's just so awful.
	But imagine white people doing this.
	Yikes.
	You know, that would be number one news all around the world.
	As it turns out, Israel's National Cyber Directorate said they have discovered Iranian hackers have been creating fake social media channels to publish the personal information about members of the Israeli delegation at the Paris Olympics, and they've been sending them threatening messages.
	I bet the Iranians yell, Heil Hitler, and throw up the Nazi salute when nobody's looking.
	In any case, Mr. Kerzy, you have a piece of good news A white professor apparently has won damages.
	Do tell.
	Yeah, a Bakersfield College professor was investigated and disciplined after he questioned the use of grant money to fund social justice initiatives at his college, has agreed to a $2.4 million settlement to resolve his lawsuit.
	Matthew Garrett, he was formerly a tenured professor at the California Community College, is going to receive $2.2 million divided into monthly payments for the next 20 years, as well as an immediate one-time payment of $154,000 as compensation for back wages and medical benefits since his dismissal, according to the July 10th settlement agreement.
	Under the terms of the settlement, Garrett agreed to resign from his job with the Kern Community College District.
	Administrators at Kern have withdrawn and sealed any and all accusations and reports accusing him of unprofessional conduct.
	You say, hmm, hmm, tell me what you're thinking.
	Well, I think it's a pity he resigned.
	He shouldn't have resigned.
	He should have stayed on campus, faced down his accusers, take the money and stay there, strutting around campus, head held high.
	I never like it when people resign in these circumstances.
	But it might have been part of the settlement.
	I'm sure it was.
	I'm sure it was.
	He shouldn't have accepted that.
	But maybe he wanted to quit.
	Who knows?
	Anyway, please continue.
	Yeah, this story comes to us from the College Fix, which is a great website we've quoted many times.
	Garrett said that he cannot discuss the terms of the settlement.
	However, he said he's able to speak on matters leading up to it.
	Quote, after five years of administrative misconduct, a decisive courtroom display exonerated me of all allegations and exposed the current community college engaged in flagrant retaliation for my questioning of partisan policies and wasteful expenditures.
	Facing an imminent ruling in my favor, the prospect of paying millions of dollars in damages, KCCD had one Only one viable option.
	Settlement.
	I'm grateful to the many who stood by my side during this difficult time and invite them to join in our triumph.
	To my colleagues at Bakersfield College and nationwide, I say, keep the faith.
	We are winning the battle one case at a time.
	I like that, by the way.
	It's a long, it's not a sprint, ladies and gentlemen.
	It's not a sprint.
	No, did he say five years?
	It took him five years to get this settlement?
	Is that what it said?
	Yeah, and part of the controversy dates back, Mr. Taylor, to the pre-COVID world of 2019, when Garrett, in a speech, vigorously defended free speech on campus, including speech some deemed Offensive and racist, as well as questioned grant funds that appeared to bankroll a social justice agenda.
	And to think this was done, you know, this was done a long time ago, like you said, in a vastly different country before the George Floyd fiasco of 2020.
	These concerns were then parlayed into accusations he accused his peers of fiscal malfeasance or misappropriation of funds, which led to an administrative determination against him.
	2021 Garrett and his colleague, Professor Aaron Miller, who faced similar allegations and accusations, filed a federal lawsuit against the College District, alleging their employers violated their civil and First Amendment rights and academic freedom.
	So kudos, best of luck wherever you land next.
	I wonder what his monthly payment is going to be for the next 20 years.
	Yeah, I mean, that's comfortable, I suspect.
	I wonder if he gets interest, too, on the part of the money that's not being paid out to him.
	But he said this was the result.
	They had actually gone to court.
	It sounds as though they had been presenting evidence.
	And so before the jury even came back with a verdict, the other side capitulated.
	That's what it sounds like to me.
	Well, this is great, but to spend five years trying to clear your name, that is five grueling, grueling, awful years.
	Litigation is just an awful experience.
	In the United States, the justice system is really not a simplified thing.
	It's complicated.
	It's expensive.
	It lasts forever.
	But in any case, this sounds like justice has been done.
	I came across a remarkable survey, and it is about Democrat voters who agree or disagree with the following.
	White Republicans are racist.
	And the percentage of those Democrat voters who agree white Republicans are racist, who wish that the Butler assassination attempt against Donald Trump had been successful.
	Now, so get this in mind, it's the percentage of people who think white Republicans are racist, who hoped that Donald Trump, who wished that Donald Trump had been shot.
	And those who strongly disagree with the idea that white Republicans are racist, 0% of them wanted him shot.
	Now, I suspect there are very few Democrat voters who say that.
	And those who slightly disagree with the idea that Republicans are racist, 5% of them wanted Donald Trump dead.
	Now, Democrat voters who neither agree nor disagree with the idea that white Republicans are racist, 15% of them wanted Trump dead.
	Of those who slightly agree that white Republicans are racist, and I would say that's probably a pretty good number of Democrat voters, 34% wished that Crooks had not missed.
	And of those... I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Go back.
	What percentage?
	What percentage?
	34%.
	What?
	34%.
	34% of Democrat voters who slightly agree with the idea that white Republicans are racist, that means a third of them wish that Crooks had not missed.
	And then of those who strongly agree that white Republicans are racist, 71%!
	71 percent, 71 percent said they wish that Donald Trump had been shot and killed.
	This is really remarkable.
	And it just shows, OK, these are all—remember, these are all Democrat voters.
	Now, there's no racial breakout, as far as I can tell.
	These are all Democrat voters.
	But this shows the incredible power of the idea that racists are evil and that racists deserve to die.
	And if you strongly agree that white Republicans are racist, then you have a 71 percent chance of telling a pollster, mind you, That you wish that Donald Trump had been shot and killed.
	I think these are remarkable findings.
	And as I say, I would love to see the racial breakout on this on this poll.
	There you go.
	They don't like us, Brother Kersey.
	I think if you and I were described, I think we would be right up there with Donald Trump.
	And where was this poll?
	Who did this poll?
	You know, I didn't take that information down.
	I really need to do that.
	And perhaps I will make a memo for next week.
	Get the information on this remarkable poll.
	That was a failing on my part, and that's a good catch, but I'll get to that.
	Well, actually, I decided to look it up myself.
	Oh, you did?
	Okay.
	So you have the answer.
	Yeah.
	Daily Mail, that scary poll reveals how many Democrats wished Assassin killed Trump at rally.
	Professor Eric Kaufman says... But who did the poll?
	Who did the poll?
	That's what we want to know.
	I'm looking.
	Hold on one second.
	Okay.
	Maybe I'll talk about a different subject here while you find out.
	Go ahead.
	You go ahead.
	Okay.
	Many people are aware of the White Women for Harris telephone conversation, or the Zoom conversation, in which over 164,000 women logged in to hear about why they should vote and persuade other white women to vote for Kamala Harris.
	And I heard from people like the singer Pink, unknown to me, actor Connie Britton, unknown to me,
	writer and podcaster Glennon Doyle, unknown to me, athlete Megan Rapinoe, I have heard of her,
	as well as Sue Bird and Abby Womback, other unknowns.
	Their goal, and this is what is explicit, push white women to recognize their privilege and the way they have frequently failed to use it as political capital, to make clear that white women have the opportunity to elect and to make other women elect the first woman of color as president.
	And in this Zoom call, 164,000 white women drooling at the prospect of the first woman of color president.
	They raised over $8.5 million.
	Now, I would rind our listeners that these are pledges only.
	I don't think their credit cards were processed right on the spot.
	Some of these pledges will probably not come through at $8.5 million.
	That is not chump change.
	Well, have you found out who did that poll?
	I did.
	It was a July 18th survey that Eric Coffman actually commissioned.
	It was done by— Oh, he commissioned it.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	So it was—let's see here, hold on one second.
	Yeah.
	Eric Coffman is a Brit, a very sensible guy.
	He writes about racial attitudes.
	He wrote a very good book called White Shift, very sympathetic to white racial consciousness, without stepping so far over the line that he has been blasted and canceled.
	But in any case, of course, so he commissioned the poll.
	Yeah, July 18th survey of 235 Democrats conducted by University of Buckingham Professor Eric Hoffman explained whether people agree with the statement declaring that I wish Trump's assassinated.
	We know, we know, we know what the poll was.
	Only 235.
	I've got to say, I did not know about this.
	And it's gotten very little press except for, you know, Manhattan Institute covered it.
	Well, Americans are just not supposed to know about these things.
	We would hate to think the Democrats want the opposing candidate dead.
	Can't have that, can't have that.
	Although 235 is not a very big sample.
	I wish the sample had been larger, but be that as it may.
	Okay, now, I was just talking about white women for Harris.
	There was an imitation of that called White dudes for Harris.
	Were you on that call?
	Excuse me?
	Were you on that call?
	You know, I had the sign-up information.
	I thought it'd be very interesting to do, but I had other things to do at 8 p.m.
	Eastern Standard Time, so I did not.
	However, somebody writing for New York Magazine was on the call, and he wrote about it.
	And he wrote about it in a somewhat derisive way, much to my surprise.
	He says, waiting for the white dudes for Harris stream to begin, I had a question.
	How long would it take to see a top knot?
	Sure enough, Ross Morales Raquetto, R-O-C-K-E-T-T-O, who ran the thing, had a top knot.
	Well, I looked him up.
	He's a fat, doofus-looking guy.
	And he stated that a white guy fundraiser was necessary because, as he said, we created this place to listen.
	Then the white guys started talking.
	I think that's pretty funny.
	It was a three-plus-hour stream.
	It was a mix of white male politicians, white male celebrities, white male labor leaders, and one black man.
	One black man?
	One black man.
	The national director of the Working Families Party.
	Never heard of that.
	He is Maurice Mitchell.
	He told the white guys that, quote, silence equates to agreement and that they must, quote, get in formation in the coalition to defeat Donald Trump.
	Get in formation.
	That's right.
	Start goose stepping behind the white women.
	Start goose stepping behind the black ladies.
	Goose step, goose step for Harris.
	Then there was actor Jeff Bridges.
	I've heard of him.
	Pete Buttigieg.
	I've heard of him.
	Singer Josh Groban, a stranger to me.
	He discussed the constant education of listening to women.
	Well, it's true.
	You learn a lot of things when you listen carefully to women.
	But I don't usually learn whom to vote for.
	This is followed by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, who discussed the disrespect of women that is embedded in the Republican Party.
	Well, I would disagree with that.
	And actor Sean Astin, another unknown to me, described his—a big pun?
	Oh, yeah.
	He played Frodo in Lord of the Rings.
	Sounds like a Frodo.
	He described his absolute reverence for women.
	Ooh, glad to hear that.
	And Michigan Senator Gary Peters advised white men to worship our loved ones.
	Well, OK.
	I mean, loving is one thing.
	Worshipping is another.
	Because Kamala Harris offers a new vision of hope and economic investment compared to a Republican Party led by an adjudicated rapist and here's weird VP J.D.
	Vance.
	That apparently was the conclusion according to this guy from New York Magazine who listened so that I wouldn't have to.
	And apparently with 60,000 individual contributions the stream raised more than 3.9 million dollars.
	All in all, compared to, what is it, 8.5 million that the white women for Harris raised, the white dudes were not even half as generous, despite probably having a lot more money.
	What does that tell us?
	These white dudes just are not emptying their wallets quite the same enthusiasm as the white women.
	Well, I know what the Democrats would tell you.
	It tells you that only racism of the vicious kind and sexism of the most vicious kind could explain this kind of niggardliness.
	Actually, Mr. Taylor, I have a different theory.
	I think that the male partner of the white women for Harris are probably the ones who coughed up that $8 million.
	They're the ones who said, hey, you're okay to use my credit card.
	You're okay to use my bank, my debit card.
	Go ahead.
	Well, that's an interesting theory.
	You mean they're so Whooped that they said, OK, honey, just put it on my credit card.
	Oh, I hate to imagine that.
	I don't want to imagine that.
	But you could be right.
	You could be right.
	You have an even dimmer view than I. So let's move on to the CrowdStrike.
	What was it back on July 20th or something?
	It knocked out eight and a half million computers with this faulty CrowdStrike update.
	Elon Musk has suggested that DEI hiring at CrowdStrike led to the outages.
	Now, as you know, Mr. Kersey, when the Key Bridge was slammed into by somebody driving, what was the name of that boat, ship?
	I can't remember.
	In any case, this big container ship ran the Key Bridge.
	It turned out, I think there was an Indian crew, an Indonesian crew.
	People said, oh, DEI, DEI, hard at work, hard at work.
	I think it is healthy in a way to have that instinct, but not necessarily healthy to toss out accusations when you have no direct evidence.
	I'm going to push back and say it's healthy in both ways because it forces that conversation.
	The, uh, the opposition to be on the defensive.
	And at some point we have to be on the offensive in this matter.
	And to point out the cracks and, uh, you know, the foundation of our country and in our civilization and D E I is the water that is breaking the rock and fragmenting things.
	And, uh, the fact that the richest man on the planet is saying that the fact that, you know, his, his, all of his businesses are going to be under the tightest microscope.
	If.
	Kamala Harris wins in 2024.
	We already know that.
	Yes.
	Go ahead.
	Yes.
	No, you could be right.
	You could be right.
	It's just that if somebody makes some serious accusation of DEI, and it turns out that some white Yale graduate was the guy who flubbed it, then you look like a fool.
	But in any case, no, you could be right.
	We should be on the offensive.
	We should say DEI every time something like this goes wrong.
	But it does turn out that America First Legal Which is run by my favorite Trump White House guy, Stephen Miller.
	It's already complained to the U.S.
	EEO Commission about CrowdStrike.
	And AFL lawyer Dan Epstein said there's plenty of evidence that this $3 billion a year company headquartered in Austin, Texas, uses race as a basis for advancement.
	Public statements by CrowdStrike executives showcase their, quote, Values in favor of racial discrimination over the true diversity of thought and opinion.
	And he says, Epstein says, this indicates unlawful activity.
	Former DEI chief of CrowdStrike says, her name is Cherie Hagan.
	I think we can guess just how melanin enhanced she probably is.
	She pushed for a progressive atmosphere that promotes black diversity.
	I guess that means you can't just have any old blacks.
	You have to have Haitians, Somalis, American-born blacks.
	I don't know.
	Maybe.
	Who knows?
	You've got to have black diversity.
	The company self-described ongoing employment practices are patently unlawful, deeply harmful and immoral, says Epstein.
	So let's see what comes of this.
	I've not heard.
	Have you heard anything?
	Has anybody fingered the person who put together that defective update?
	Have you read anything about that or heard anything about that?
	You know, Mr. Taylor, we live in such a weird timeline of news that that story's already
	gone, even though I know, I know it's $500 million.
	I was reading an article that Delta is begrudgingly going to have to take legal action against
	CrowdStrike because of the unbelievable, really unprecedented damage that that that did to
	the flight situation.
	I had so many friends who were texting being like, Oh, my gosh, you won't believe it.
	My flight got canceled.
	I'm stranded.
	I had I actually had some some friends who were stuck in Atlanta and they had to have
	someone come pick them up.
	Drive 16 hours.
	Well, look, look, look, I do not doubt that there's a huge amount of inconvenience and
	If CrowdStrike had to reimburse everybody who was inconvenienced in some way, they'd go out of business.
	No way they could foot the bill.
	But my understanding is that the standard contract that CrowdStrike enters into limits its damages obligation only to refunding the cost of the software.
	There are no provisions for making a company whole due to some sort of defect in software, unless you've got some sort of special contract with CrowdStrike.
	But anyway, it is very unfortunate and too bad, but you're right.
	Nobody's talking about it anymore.
	Maybe, you know, a year or two or three from now, we'll find out that, well, CrowdStrike did manage to get airlines to, I mean, the airlines did get it to fork over money, but anyway.
	We have a different story, and this one I think we really do have.
	It's not really a DEI problem, it's more of a negritude problem, but I understand that there is a movement afoot in an American city with a street named Medgar Evers Boulevard to shut down a gas station.
	Okay, I have to ask you to give a little background into who Medgar Evers was before we get started with this one.
	Well, he was a black civil rights agitator who was shot to death by people back, what was it?
	That would have been about 62, 63?
	When was Medgar Evers shot?
	And he has a wife, I think she's still around, Merlie Evers, who has now carried on the legacy.
	They've passed the torch, and she's a great civil rights hero because she was married to a black man who was shot.
	That's Medgar Evers, yes, a great hero of the black civil rights movement.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And just real quick, some more background on Jackson.
	Jackson was about 60 percent white before the civil rights era.
	This is Jackson, Mississippi.
	Capital of Mississippi.
	And now I just found this amazing article published on February 25th, 2024, that Jackson, among the least diverse cities in the U.S., It ranks 423rd for ethno-racial diversity, because Mr.
	Taylor, it's 82% black now and 15% white.
	And I mean, it's one of the, just by sheer demographics, it's one of the blackest cities in America.
	And it's of course, the capital of Mississippi.
	We've talked about it before because of the situation with water,
	where they didn't have potable water.
	They had to have the Army Corps of Engineers come in to fix that problem.
	Wakanda is not real, ladies and gentlemen, and this story is one that,
	again, it's tragic because we're probably the only people who will talk about it
	and say this kind of situation shouldn't exist.
	Uh, Kim.
	Many residents are calling for the Texaco on Medgar Evers Boulevard to be shut down after the recent homicides and crime in the area.
	And as you alluded to, Medgar Evers is a civil rights hero and an icon, and now on a street named in his honor and his memory, you have really horrible levels, horrifying levels of black-on-black violence, which have called, which have brought Councilman Kenneth Stokes A black man who was joined by other members of the community for a protest recently against the Texaco gas station on that boulevard over crime and homicides.
	He says he will be bringing up a vote of no confidence against the city's legal department and director for not declaring the gas station a nuisance and shutting it down before now.
	Where people suffer harm or injury, it's got to be considered a nuisance.
	How many people have to die here before they realize it's harmful?
	Councilman Stokes says.
	Now the question could be Mr. Stokes, couldn't that be for the entire city of Jackson?
	But anyways, the most recent homicide happened earlier this month when 23 year old Jacoby Austin
	was shot and killed in front of the gas station.
	We do not know if he was an aspiring rapper, but he might have been.
	That was a good chance.
	Another deadly shot, it's always a chance it could be as a vocation and avocation.
	Another deadly shooting happened at the beginning of the year
	taking the life of 47 year old Roger Fulgham.
	This is not the first time people have called for the closure of the business.
	Those in the community plan to keep speaking up until the safety issue in the area is handled.
	Again, this is not just for the geographic region around Medgar Evers Boulevard.
	I would say this could go for all of Jackson.
	Quote, we want to make sure that when we go to the stores, our kids go into stores, our wives, our children.
	Hey, we want to make sure that we safe when we go into these places, Enoch Sanders said.
	That's an exact quote, that we safe.
	We're going to keep on coming and we're going to keep on fighting until we get something done, until we save people from getting killed right here.
	Byron Burnfield said quote the citizens stand up and speak out.
	We're going to continue to do that for the next generation.
	Those next ones up.
	They're going to be affected.
	We want to make sure we change the narrative.
	Councilman Stokes, who has been pushing for security guards at convenience stores.
	We'll have the item for the next City Council meeting on July 30th.
	I don't know how that went.
	That was yesterday.
	Stokes and residents feel like shutting down the business is the only way to handle the growing issue in the area.
	Quote, if you're providing a business that you see as detrimental to the community that you're serving and that your business is causing people to lose their lives, then you should have the integrity of a human being for yourself to say, we need to shut this down.
	WLBT3 on your side will update you if any developments take place at the City Council meeting.
	As of right now, when I refresh that story, There are no updates.
	But again, think about this.
	You know, the black councilman is pushing for security guards at convenience stores in Jackson.
	That's an enormous burden and cost to the city.
	Well, and the idea that you need to shut down the gas station because people in Jackson are shooting each other there?
	What in heaven's name?
	As you say, if you're going to shut down the gas station, you probably have to shut down everything if people are just shooting each other.
	The idea to blame it on the gas station, how cuckoo is that?
	People need gas, and they stop and they get gas, and people shoot each other.
	Is that the gas station's fault?
	The whole thing is utterly ridiculous, but this is the kind of magical thinking that these people seem to have.
	Okay, they're shooting each other at the gas station.
	Shut down the gas station, and they won't shoot each other.
	My guess is, Mr. Kersley, they'll find some other place to shoot each other, and people have to drive a whole lot farther to get gas.
	What is this nuttiness?
	As it happens, I was a year off on Medgar Evers.
	He was shot in 1963, and it was right there in Jackson, Mississippi.
	And he was shot by a guy named Byron Della Beckwith.
	I remember that name now.
	In any case, this is, as I say, this is just such cuckoo, cuckoo, typical black thinking that somehow, if the gas station goes away, then they won't shoot each other.
	Yeah, it's interesting.
	As I said, this is one of the least diverse cities in the United States.
	It's 82% black.
	It has a completely black-run government, black-run bureaucracy.
	And in 2021, members of the City Council actually approved an ordinance, Mr. Taylor, requiring 24-hour convenience stores to have security personnel between the hours of 12 a.m.
	and 5 a.m.
	The ordinance also requires all other gas stations in the city to adopt security plans and file them with the city within 100 days of the rule's passage.
	I mean, think about that.
	You can't maintain the safety and integrity of the city.
	So you have to pass an ordinance to mandate extra costs that are... I mean, think about it.
	You have to hire somebody.
	They have to sit there to ensure that something's going on.
	I can only imagine the plexiglass situation that exists at these gas stations in Jackson
	in terms of keeping the employees safe.
	I've only been to Jackson one time.
	I flew in and got out very quickly.
	Never have any desire to go back, but I can tell you that Birmingham, Alabama, which is
	also about a 73% black city, the mayor of Birmingham has actually called for a number
	of gas stations to be shut down because of the level of violence that transpires at that
	And it's just it's like, hey, listen, like you said, this violence is going to erupt wherever the individuals who are participants in the violence, it doesn't matter the location, it doesn't matter, you know, the convenience store, it's just part of part of part of Part of life, unfortunately, in these cities, which is why white flight has happened.
	And in Birmingham, you know, over the mountain, in Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills, you know, basically, Birmingham was rebuilt by white people.
	And the same thing in Jackson, you know, white flight exists for a reason.
	And it's because of high levels of black violence that are then blamed upon white people leaving or on gas stations.
	Right.
	I was in Jackson once, and I was staying in a hotel very close to the State Capitol grounds.
	The State Capitol grounds are very nice.
	I didn't go much of anywhere else.
	I liked Jackson, but I got this very, very limited view of it.
	But, wow.
	Yep, yep.
	I mean, shut down every gas station in the city and there'll just be no more shootings.
	Well, here we have what at first glance sounds like good news from the University of Missouri, but I think it's in fact bad news.
	The story begins like this.
	The University of Missouri at Columbia, that is the flagship university, the flagship campus, is dissolving its Division for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity.
	They do it IDE rather than DIE for some reason.
	Its leaders announced that on Tuesday.
	This, however, is merely an effort to preempt legislative action, and the move will decentralize the office's resources, eliminate the D.I.E.
	vice chancellor position, and disperse existing staff members to other departments.
	Sounds like pure camouflage to me.
	In a press call, the university's president, Moon Choi... I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	The president of the University of Missouri is named Moon Choi.
	Yes, but Moon is not spelled M-O-O-N.
	It's M-U-N.
	Moon Choi.
	I'll get to him later.
	He said that the reorganization will allow Missouri to avoid budget cuts from anti-DEI state legislators and to steward its own transition to what he saw as an inevitable outcome in a deep red state.
	Now, what he's telling us is this.
	It's likely that there's going to be some sort of law that's going to cut funding for every DEI-related position on campus.
	So he is going to preempt this by taking all the people from the DEI office and scattering them hither and thither throughout the campus, changing the names of things, and not suffer any budget cuts.
	What a smart little East Asian this guy is!
	Well, Moon Choi was born in Korea, and he came to the U.S.
	when he was nine years old, and now he's running the University of Missouri.
	He has a Ph.D.
	in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University.
	I wish he were doing mechanical and aerospace engineering.
	Instead, he is devoting his brains to this shell game, trying to keep all the money that has been spent on DEI, make sure DEI continues, despite the obvious intentions of the state legislature.
	He said the university has succeeded in helping to prevent these bills from passing.
	Yes, they've lobbied very hard.
	Over the past year, the university has eliminated all scholarships with racial eligibility criteria to comply with an order from the state's attorney general, often against the wishes of the donors who endowed the funds.
	That's right.
	My million-dollar grant is for one-legged African lesbians only, dammit!
	I'm going to take my money back.
	Of course, what they're going to do is just very quietly give it to the people they want, and somehow none of them will be white.
	But the official criterion that they've got to be black, or whatever it is, is gone.
	Missouri established its DEI office eight years ago in response to the 2015 protests over racism on campus.
	Choi became president in 2016, replacing Tim Wolfe, who resigned.
	Now, I don't know if you remember this, Mr. Kersey.
	You probably do, because you remember everything.
	This was typical campus insanity.
	They had this utterly, obviously fake hate incident, pathetic groveling.
	I did a video about it.
	It was so awful.
	And the president resigned, and they all just dragged themselves through the mud.
	It was despicable.
	And this is even before George Floyd ascended into heaven.
	In any case, in 2021, the university eliminated leadership roles at five cultural centers as a part of a shift away from holistic identity-based coordinators.
	Five cultural centers, I'm sure.
	They were Hispanic, Black, Asian, Indian, who the heck knows what else, but they eliminated leadership roles, but I bet they did not eliminate the whole way it's supposed to work.
	All these special clubhouses for their special pets.
	And as it turns out, Carrington Peavey, Carrington Peavey, that's a pretty waspy-sounding name for the president of the Legion of Black Collegians.
	Didn't that sound rather distinguished?
	Carrington Peavey.
	Carrington?
	Yeah, that's a great name.
	Yeah, great name.
	Well, Carrington, she says students are incensed.
	She says other students, she and other students met with Choi on Friday and were assured that nothing would change for the students.
	Hours after the announcement, she'd already heard from student organizations that the university was asking them to change their names.
	See, this is just such an obvious attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the legislators.
	For example, a group called Nurturing Minority Wellness was asked to remove the word minority.
	In other words, they have to nurture wellness for everyone!
	Boy, that's pure white supremacy if you ask me.
	And she expects the university will ask the LBC, the Legion of Black Collegians, to do something similar, if not change its membership requirements altogether.
	Oh my gosh, they might have to let in white supremacists.
	Peavey said resources to support black students specifically are still essential at Missouri, where she sees anti-black racism on a regular basis.
	Regular basis.
	Mr. Cruz, what does the expression, on a regular basis, mean to you?
	On a regular basis, it means ubiquitous, it means it's conditioned, it means that it is ever-present, omnipresent.
	Yeah, that's what it means.
	But you know, if you take it literally, if something happens every five years, that's happening on a regular basis, isn't it?
	It's just one of my peeves about the English language and how it's used.
	In any case, my view on this, the Legion of Black Collegians, you know what it reminds me of?
	That's actually a hilarious name, by the way.
	Well, I think so, too.
	Yes, the Black Legion.
	Remember Jesse Jackson's rhyming slogans?
	My favorite was always, from the outhouse to the White House.
	What an image.
	I hope you pull up your pants first, Jesse.
	And then, you know, there was one called, down with Donald Trump and up with hope.
	You remember that one?
	I don't remember that one.
	You don't remember that one?
	And then this is one of my favorite songs.
	Well, you know, he stopped this clownish stuff.
	Another one of his was just great.
	If my mind can conceive it and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.
	I mean, this sort of thing is just crazy, of course, implanting false hopes in people.
	And then we come from disgrace to amazing grace.
	So let's hear it from the Legion of Black Collegians.
	In any case, you know, Jesse, Jesse's kind of gotten out of the doggerel business lately.
	It's kind of too bad.
	I was always waiting for what he would loose upon us next, this creative mind of his.
	Anyway, President Choi, yes, President Choi.
	You're right.
	I mean, the idea of a President Moon Choi running Missouri, and not only was that, he was chancellor of the entire, whatever it is, the whole system before he was named president.
	And it was the first time that the chancellor of the entire system was at the same time president of the flagship campus.
	He said one of the university's goals in restructuring the office was to preserve as many staff positions as possible.
	Students and faculty should feel reassured that the advocates they've come to trust will still be serving them.
	Every staff member who currently works on inclusive excellence who works with our faculty and staff will remain, he said.
	Our stakeholders are going to come and see the exact same people who cared for them before.
	I mean, he's admitting this is an utter con game.
	And again, to repeat, he's afraid that the legislature is going to pass some law that jerks the funding for everything that has to do with DEI.
	And he's going to send his people to different offices.
	He's going to change names.
	And so he's going to say, gosh, we don't have a DEI office.
	Nobody on our campus does DEI at all.
	Whereas he's assuring everybody on campus, of course, we're gonna do the same things we always did.
	You can see the same old faces, and they're gonna be doing all the same wonderful things for our pets that they've done for years.
	This is really disgusting.
	I just hope the people in the legislature are paying attention.
	Now, here's a story from Halifax.
	Halifax.
	Halifax in Nova Scotia.
	Five people in a crowd at a popular annual festival highlighting the history of Africville in Halifax.
	are in hospital. No. Yes. What happened? It was an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease.
	No, I'm just kidding. The Legion of Black Collegians. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
	Sounds like a superhero group that I don't want to be a part of.
	Right. No, no, it was not an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease.
	After getting caught up in an exchange of gunfire between two men, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,
	according to the Halifax City website, it's this beautiful website, and it just raves over
	the festival for Africville. It's It says, it's an opportunity to learn about Africville's rich history and continue its legacy.
	Well, legacy is clearly a rich and fiery one, Mr. Kersey.
	And there was to be a movie under the stars.
	And there was going to be Khalila Brooks, creator of the Canadian broadcasting company's Auntie Bee's House, sharing her story and show.
	Heartwarming, I'm sure.
	There were to be buses available from the Black Cultural Center at 6 p.m.
	And for the movie Under the Stars, there's going to be free popcorn and ice cream, but bring your own chairs.
	There was going to be a kid's day, a picnic and a softball game, and Africville's got talent contest.
	Well, as it turns out, both of the shooters in this exchange missed their targets completely, shot up people who were not intended, so marksmanship is not one of Africville's talents.
	Then there was going to be sweet sounds of soul for the Africville community dance.
	All this spoiled.
	All this miserably spoiled.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, I think you have, oh gosh, we're practically out of time.
	So you're going to have to talk fast.
	But Joe Biden has flooded a small town with illegals.
	You know, I'll talk as fast as I can, because this is a story we've had for a couple of weeks.
	And this is very important.
	Joe Biden obviously is now sort of knows what he's doing.
	But this is a story that I'll be quick with.
	Biden floods Ohio town with 20,000 Haitian migrants, 10 to a bedroom.
	Residents of West Central Town of Springfield, Ohio, are demanding that their city council do something to stem the tide of Haitian immigrants that have flooded the city, especially in the aftermath of the death of a child and a school bus accident caused by a migrant driving illegally.
	It's situated just west of the state capitol in Columbus.
	It's been a target of Haitian immigrants since at least 2014.
	In the ensuing years, some 10,000 have moved to the Rust Belt town.
	Last four years alone, the population has ballooned to more than 20,000.
	This influx is causing serious pressures to mount on the town.
	J.D.
	Vance, the Republican nominee for Vice President and also the U.S.
	Senator, he puts the blame for mounting problems squarely in the Biden admin, which has caused small towns all across the country to suffer just like Springfield.
	It's a self-imposed disaster, crushing the job prospects of our citizens, making it more difficult for Ohio families to find homes and draining social service programs funded by American taxpayers, Vance told the media.
	People who are here illegally should be sent back to their home countries as soon as possible.
	and individuals here on temporary status should not expect to stay indefinitely.
	Again, we've seen this all across the country. We've seen this in places
	where just our disastrous open borders policy and then, of course, temporary protected status.
	I believe we talked about this a couple weeks ago where 300,000 Haitians have now been granted TPS
	status due to the ongoing calamity that has strangely befallen that island nation for
	a couple centuries.
	It seems to never get better.
	It seems to be kind of like the world we see in Jax, Mississippi, where they can't even keep the water going, and they can't even keep convenience stores safe from the citizens.
	But anyways, 15,000 to 20,000 over the last four years.
	So what are the numbers again?
	So it was, what are the numbers again?
	15 to 20,000 newcomers, these illegals, in a community of how many people?
	Yeah, that's a great question.
	It's a community of just under 60,000 previous residents.
	Think about that.
	Wow!
	20,000!
	20,000 of these!
	Wow!
	That's just extraordinary numbers.
	Potentially that many.
	Who knows how many are actually there?
	I mean, it's hard to do an actual census to get the number, but You know, long-time residents were unbothered by the
	growing Haitian community, but over time, clashes have begun to occur as Haitians have become more obtrusive
	by driving illegally, piling in apartments and homes by the dozen, filling local
	schools with children who need special care and education and language services, and
	increasingly becoming a focus for government spending. I mean, again, one thing about mass deportations
	that I think is going to be great if they do start to happen is just giving the country back
	to Americans and giving Springfield back to Springfieldians.
	Wow!
	Just the cost of that is just so extraordinary and the massive change that happens.
	Of course, the psychological cost, the cultural cost, and let's put it frankly, the racial cost of bringing all these people in who have no capability of becoming Americans, really, who don't want to really become Americans.
	who, many of whom will end up hating us. No, it's awful.
	Well, you know, I misread the clock, Mr. Kersey. It's not as late as I thought. We've got about
	four minutes left. So tell me.
	We do. Well, so I'd like to talk about something else here.
	There was another story that, oh yes, let's see if I can find it. Here I was getting
	ready to wrap up, but no, it turns out a fire brand cleric who's been accused of
	spreading hate has raised more than three million pounds to buy a small British island and turn
	it into his own Islamic state.
	Thank you.
	Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, age 45, who claimed asylum in Britain 20 years ago after fleeing his native Kuwait, and his followers are in advanced talks to buy the remote island of Tursa off the west coast of Scotland.
	Sheikh Yasser already runs military-style training camps, hopes his organization can build its own school, hospital, and mosque on the island where it will practice Sharia law.
	He says he will negotiate with the British government to allow Muslims from all over the world to get visas in order to turn the island into their new homeland.
	The island of Torsa is just over a mile long and has one farmhouse.
	It's accessible only by private boat from Luwing which is an island itself reached by a ferry from the
	island of Seil.
	However, you can get the island of Seil by a bridge.
	But Torsa has not been permanently inhabited for more than 50 years.
	Now the residents on the neighboring island of Luwing are not very happy.
	Well, Sheikh al-Habib, Sheikh Yasser, is accused of stirring up sectarian hatred in Britain
	and in the Arab world between Shias and rival Sunni Muslims.
	He's a Shia and he hates Sunnis.
	It has its global headquarters in the picturesque village of Fulmer in South Buckinghamshire.
	He's been fundraising through a satellite channel called Thadak TV, which has run for several years from a, get this, two million dollar converted church.
	Oh, I hate it when I hear about churches being turned into Headquarters and broadcasting centers, fundraising efforts for these hopped up muzzies.
	He preaches only in Arabic, but he's amassed a huge following among Britain's 400,000 Shias and millions more around the world.
	He must be a very eloquent hater.
	He spreads hate and incites violence against rival Sunnis.
	And the idea is that once Torsa becomes the homeland, they will go there And they will wait for the coming of their Messiah, known as the Mahdi.
	I'm sure the Mahdi will choose Torsa, where to appear.
	As it turns out, the Sikh spent nearly three months in jail in Kuwait for insulting the Sunni faith.
	Kuwait, of course, is heavily Sunni.
	As it turns out also, in June 2022, a film called The Lady of Heaven, written by the Sikh, was pulled from Cineworld Cinemas and some branches of the chain known as The View in Britain after hundreds of Sunnis protested against the film in Birmingham and Sheffield.
	They accused it of blasphemy and the chain stopped showing the film because they feared for the safety of their staff.
	That's the way these Muslims operate.
	But there you go.
	Now, so that's a heartwarming story about a future homeland for these lovely people.
	But it's left me wondering, how do you get the title of sheikh?
	Sheikh.
	Well, you know, I looked it up, and I was curious to know whether a woman can be a sheikh.
	Well, you become a sheikh either through heredity, your parents were sheikhs, and it's a religious title or a political title, or it can simply be a title of respect given to you by the community.
	So that means if some young sprouts, enough young sprouts like you, Mr. Kersey, decide to call me Shake Jared, there's no reason why I could not be Shake Jared.
	I think that kind of sounds snazzy and inclusive.
	So, you know, put the word out, will you?
	You know, I want to, I want the title of Shake.
	Uncle Shakey.
	Yeah, there you go.
	There you go.
	No, it has a real ring to it.
	So in any case, now we are at the end of our time.
	We need to shake a leg and get off this podcast.
	And ladies and gentlemen, it is always a pleasure and honor to spend this time with you.
	And we ardently look forward to doing the same thing next week.
