	Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
	I'm your host, Jared, and with me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
	Today is September 5th, Year of Our Lord 2024, but for reasons complicated and for which there's no reason to go into, we will be posting this tomorrow, September 6th.
	And as usual, we'd like to start with comments from listeners.
	A commenter writes in to say, I've lived in Maryland my whole life, but I was never taught much in school about Maryland's role in the Civil War or about Marylanders who fought for the North or the South.
	And I found out something really interesting about the Maryland flag.
	Now, for those of you not familiar with the Maryland flag, it's a kind of a complicated thing.
	It's divided into four parts and there are two patterns that repeat, very hard to describe.
	One is black and yellow, one is red and white.
	Our listener says the red and white section of the flag called the Crossland Banner.
	That was flown by those who fought for the Confederacy.
	And so I'm surprised there hasn't been much commotion about that.
	I wouldn't be shocked if the flag were altered or completely changed on account of that.
	Well, I looked into this and Maryland didn't really have a state flag until 1904.
	True, Maryland born Confederate soldiers use the red and white colors of what's called the cross botany design.
	That is the part that is red and white.
	And there are two repeated versions of it.
	And whereas And in fact, the display of those Confederate colors, red and white, in that botany cross sign became so widespread, eventually there was a law passed forbidding people from displaying those colors.
	And anyone caught wearing those colors was arrested for treason.
	Whereas the Union Army of Maryland flew the heraldic banner of George Calvert.
	He was the first Lord Baltimore.
	So there was already an interesting division.
	This is before there was even a state flag.
	15 years after the war, Maryland tried to reconcile the two sides, Union and Confederate, by combining the flags into one.
	And this flag was first flown in 1880 during a parade to celebrate 150 years since the founding of Baltimore.
	And in 1904, the flag was officially adopted by the state.
	So, Like so many, so many acts of reconciliation, the naming of the U.S.
	Army bases for Confederates, naming tanks during the Second World War for Jeb Stuart and Robert E. Lee, this was an act of reconciliation.
	That is what is represented by the Maryland state flag.
	I think that's very interesting, and I wouldn't be at all surprised, just like our commenter, if people started saying, oh, we can't have that, those wicked Confederates.
	So, another comment from a listener.
	He writes in to say, last week, one of your listeners mentioned playing around with chat GPT and reading some of the funny replies.
	I myself have given it the following prompt.
	I'm working on my college admission essay question.
	What would you do with a million dollars?
	And Mr. Kersey, do you think that's a common college admission essay question?
	Maybe it is sort of intriguing.
	In any case, I then tell ChatGPT that my essay with this title is just two sentences long.
	I am black.
	Black power.
	ChatGPT will write back and say that it will concede that the submission is a little bit short, but it praises it because it touches upon important subjects.
	The listener goes on to say, if you claim to be black, and then write the most incoherent nonsense as a proposed
	college admission essay, Chet GPT will offer pathetic praise and extremely gentle
	criticism. I bet that's true.
	And this is one of those things you can try it at home if you want.
	So, well, the first news item, I think this is really quite important.
	This has to do with what Brazil has been doing to X. And I'd like to read excerpts from two articles by Jonathan Turley.
	Jonathan Turley, he's a university professor at, was it George Mason or Georgetown or George Washington University?
	You remember where he's a teacher?
	Mr. Kersey?
	I believe it is in one of those, yeah, it's somewhere in northern Virginia.
	Maybe George Washington University.
	In any case, he's a very smart, on-the-ball guy.
	And he writes, Brazil has just banned X from the entire country.
	And citizens will now be fined $9,000 a day, that's more than the average salary, for using VPNs to access X. It's the main source of news for Brazilians.
	Who will now be left only with government approved sources or face financial ruin.
	These confiscatory fines are part of a comprehensive crackdown on efforts to get news through X, including ordering all Apple stores to remove X from new phones.
	Boy, remove it before they can even sell the phones.
	This move puts Brazil with China in an effort to create a wall of censorship between citizens and unregulated information.
	Turley goes on to say, for the anti-free speech movement, Brazil is a key testing ground for where the movement is heading next.
	European censors, they arrested CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov.
	I did a whole video about that.
	I think it was very interesting.
	And Europeans are also threatening Elon Musk.
	However, Brazil foreshadows the brave new world of censorship where entire nations block access to sites committed to free speech.
	The tussle between X and Brazil began with demands to censor supporters of the conservative former president, Jair Bolsonaro.
	X refused.
	And there was also a demand that X name a legal representative, a legal representative who could be arrested for refusing to censor users.
	I mean, boy, wouldn't that be a great job?
	You're supposed to appoint somebody just so he can be arrested.
	But I don't think anybody would want that job.
	In any case, now there's been a complete ban.
	The man behind this ban is Justice Minister Alexander de Moraes, who has used censorship to combat anything that he or the government says is fake news or disinformation.
	And when Socialist President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, the two of them together, they are a dream team for anti-free speech movement.
	And, just as a sidelight, Jonathan Turley points out that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison responded to the Brazil ban by posting a declaration, Obrigado Brasil, that is, thanks Brazil, in Portuguese.
	And guess how he did it, Mr. Kersey?
	He posted it on X. He did it on X. He did it on X, yes.
	Now, Mr. Jonathan Turley goes on to write about Kamala Harris.
	And by the way, Mr. Taylor, just to just to come in and help you out here, he is a professor at George Washington.
	George Washington.
	OK.
	You know, they call it its official name is the George Washington University.
	You see that on signs all over the place.
	I've never understood.
	He's a professor of law.
	He's a professor of law at the George Washington University.
	Yeah.
	I've never understood that.
	The last you think.
	What's that?
	How long does that name have to last?
	Well, Washington, you know, I've been wondering.
	I've not seen the slightest move to change the name of the capital city of the United States, although he was a wicked, wicked, irretrievably wicked slaveholder.
	So who knows?
	I mean, I think we should call it.
	He also signed one of his first acts as president.
	That's true.
	Bad, bad, bad man.
	I think Mandela would be a nice name for the Cabinet of the United States.
	In any case, here's more from Jonathan Turley.
	This is in a second article about Kamala Harris.
	He writes, ex-owner Elon Musk and former independent presidential candidate Rob Def
	Kennedy have posted a Kamala Harris interview to show the depths of Kamala's hostility to free speech.
	I've long argued that Trump should make free speech a central issue in this campaign.
	That hasn't happened.
	Kennedy was the only candidate who substantially and regularly talked about free speech.
	Good for Kennedy.
	The Biden-Harris administration has proven to be the most anti-free speech administration since John Adams.
	That includes a massive censorship system described by one federal judge as Orwellian.
	You and I talked about that, Mr. Kersey.
	This was, I think, several state attorneys sued and said they got to stop this stuff.
	And the judge then ordered the administration to stop communicating with social media platforms and tell them to take stuff down.
	In any case, In a CNN interview, Harris strongly suggests X should be shut down if it does not yield to demands for speech control.
	Unregulated free speech has to stop, she said, and there is a danger to the country when people are allowed to speak directly to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight and regulation.
	She's got you and me in her crosshairs, Mr. Kersey.
	She says, the bottom line is you can't say that you have one rule for Facebook and a different rule for Twitter.
	The same rules have to apply.
	In other words, free speech should be set at the lowest common denominator.
	Many Democrat leaders have echoed her view, including Hillary Clinton, who, after Musk bought Twitter, called on European censors to force him to censor American citizens under the infamous Digital Services Act.
	And this is absolutely going to happen.
	The Europeans have all of these awful, horrifying laws against hate speech.
	They're going to say, OK, X, you've got to censor that stuff.
	And so all of our Democrats will be delighted that somebody else is doing the dirty work of, in effect, abolishing the First Amendment.
	Other Democrat leaders have praised Brazil for banning X.
	And where Biden was an opportunist in embracing censorship, Turley says Harris is an absolute true believer.
	Now, this is an interesting historical point.
	He says, for free speech advocates, the 2024 election is looking strikingly similar to the election of 1800.
	One of the greatest villains in our history was President John Adams, who used the Alien and Sedition Acts to arrest his political opponents.
	Including journalists and members of Congress.
	Isn't that a neat trick?
	I bet Kamala would love to do that.
	Many of those prosecuted by the Adams administration were Jeffersonians, and in the election of 1800, Jefferson ran on this issue and won.
	It was the only presidential election in our history in which free speech was a central issue.
	It should be again.
	Democracy is not on the ballot.
	Free speech is.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, do you think Donald Trump is smart enough to really push this in any kind of systematic way?
	No.
	Simple answer.
	An emphatic, an emphatic no.
	No, sir.
	I don't believe he is.
	I think he has people around him who will be, and I think he's made overtures to Elon Musk to having some sort of role in government accountability.
	You know, it's funny they talk about John Adams because you were just talking about the Civil War with Maryland.
	And I believe that President Lincoln was, didn't he put the entire state of Maryland in Kentucky under what military provisional guard?
	He declared martial law in the entire state of Kentucky.
	Yeah.
	He did not do that in Maryland.
	What he did was he locked up.
	Enough Maryland legislators, secessionist Maryland legislators, so they couldn't get a quorum and vote to secede.
	He locked up journalists.
	He locked up journalists.
	Yeah, there's Thomas DiLorenzo, the real Lincoln.
	Fascinating, the cesarean moves that Lincoln made that pale in comparison to the Alien and Sedition Act of John Adams.
	So.
	Well, it's pretty similar.
	Adams locked up members of Congress.
	Sheesh.
	Boy, I know these guys were absolutely ruthless, and I'm sure, boy, Kamala's mouth will be watering at the very idea.
	In any case, Mr. Kersey, you have a report on Kamala Harris's secret weapon to win.
	You know, if you've ever flown, In an airport and you run across one of these large group of black women, you know that this is Kamala Harris's secret weapon.
	Black sororities could be the key advantage for the Harris campaign.
	Solve this in Yahoo News.
	As she heads into the November presidential race against Trump, a social club she joined in college four decades ago might pay its biggest dividends yet.
	Quote, whatever it is that she needs our coalitions to do, We're going to be there to help push it out and get it done.
	Tanya Baham, a member of Harris's college sorority, in attendance at the recent DNC, stated, now sororities and fraternities abound across U.S.
	You have the Panhellenic, which is largely the traditional white fraternities and sororities.
	I was in one of those.
	Then you, of course, have the separate black sorority and fraternity coalitions.
	They both have Greek letter names, exclusive memberships, and a promise of community, usually along the same sex lines.
	Harris has membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha, historically black sorority.
	By the way, I should point out that they do do the paper bag test.
	We can get in that later as to who can get admission or not in regards to the.
	Wait, do they still do that?
	Do they still do that?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	You look at the you look at the variations of shade.
	If you look at if you're ever at an airport and you see a bunch of black women Together they're going to have their letters on and you can look and you can you can notice it.
	It's very you can discern quickly that the paper bag test was.
	Used and utilized.
	Yeah, still being still be applied colorism.
	So this might provide a direct link and a direct line to a network of 360,000 black women across the country, many of whom are excited to see one of their own in the White House.
	Now, we know that the DNC, the Democratic Party, counts women and black voters as key constituencies in their electoral base, especially in battleground states like North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, to a lesser extent, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
	But they're paying attention.
	While the sororities are nonpartisan, many like Baham are ready to individually tap their networks for fundraising and voter registration.
	We're going to make certain that our kiddos, the young folks, the old folks, get a chance to register and then get to the polls, said the social worker in Louisiana.
	Now, Harris joined AKA at Howard University.
	That's a historically black school located in Washington, D.C.
	It was founded there in 1908.
	It was the first such organization for black undergraduate women in the U.S.
	So it's pretty, it's very prestigious to get into that sorority.
	Apparently, apparently they have got nine historically black sororities.
	They are known as the Divine Nine.
	The Divine Nine.
	That sounds like some sort of superhero coalition.
	The Divine Nine.
	They're a fight to keep justice, peace, and the African-American way going.
	I'll say.
	Yeah.
	Over the past few decades, more Black sororities and fraternities emerged providing African-American students refuge amid the scourge of American racism, and also serving as basis for civil rights organizing across the country.
	AKA has chapters for both undergraduate and college graduates, making it far more than just a college-level organization.
	Maybe we're going to learn it as a paramilitary wing too soon.
	Anyways, as VP, Harris has hosted Black sorority and fraternity leaders of the White House, And ahead of rising to the top of the Democratic ticket, she headlined their convention back in July in Texas.
	Later that month, within days of Joe Biden ending his re-election bid, she was at a convention for another Black sorority, Zeta Phi Beta in Indiana.
	You might remember, we talked about this, AKA members were among those on a win with Black women Zoom call, which raised $1.5 million for Ms.
	Harris.
	And Glenda Glover, the sorority's former president, is leading outreach for Harris at the country's historically black colleges, which, as we know, President Trump, during his first four years in office, he did a lot to splash those HBCUs with a lot of money to keep them solvent, because most of them were very insolvent and have such terrible graduation rates, as we've talked about on this program before.
	It would be amusing to look into Alpha Kappa Alpha.
	For example, I just found out that the sorority motto is bi-culture and bi-merit.
	So it's not exclusively bi-merit.
	Also, it's got a yell.
	And I remember reading about this when Kamala Harris became vice president and the Kappa Alpha Alpha Kappa Alpha Yell is skee-wee!
	And there were predictions that whatever Kamala showed up in public, she would be welcomed with shouts of skee-wee!
	That is how the AKAs recognize each other, by shouting skee-wee!
	I guess it's kind of a lesbian mating call or something.
	Maybe!
	Go ahead.
	I haven't heard much skee-wee lately, but maybe we'll be hearing more of that.
	Maybe if President Trump or some of his advisors are listening to this, that's how he should greet Kamala in their first debate.
	Skee-wee!
	That would be good.
	Skee-wee!
	In fact, don't even debate.
	Don't even say anything except for skee-wee the entire time.
	Just make Kamala Harris as uncomfortable as possible.
	Apparently, the full greeting is skee-wee, my sorors.
	And I guess sorors is sorority sisters.
	Ski-wee, my sorors!
	Well, so there you go.
	We're getting deeply into black lore here.
	We are indeed.
	Yeah, that's fascinating.
	You know way too much about Alpha Kappa Alpha.
	Well, I'd love to know more.
	I'd love to know more.
	Anyway, let's see.
	The New York Times, much to my surprise, They published an editorial that was actually mildly critical of DEI, and I thought it was quite interesting.
	Let me read a few key passages.
	The authors, one is a guy named Paul Brest.
	He was apparently a civil rights litigator for NAACP.
	He appears to be white.
	I don't know if he's Jewish or not.
	Emily J. Levine is clearly Jewish, but They start off by saying, like many other universities, Stanford, our university, experienced a rise in anti-Semitic incidents after the Hamas attack.
	Many Jews and Israelis have experienced bias and feel insecure on the campus of Stanford.
	And a parallel committee, and now they were on a committee to look into this, you know, they have to look into these things.
	A parallel committee formed to address anti-Muslim, Arab and Palestinian bias reached similar conclusions for their groups.
	So Jews and Muslims, Arabs and Palestinians, all of them are feeling attacked.
	Many of those we interviewed recommended adding Jews and Israelis to the identities currently recognized by Stanford's DEI programs so their harms would be treated with the same concern as those of people of color and LGBTQ plus people.
	This move would be required by many California colleges and universities under a measure moving through the California legislature.
	I think this is just so crazy.
	Jews think that they're just going to want to huddle together with all the weirdos and oddballs and blacks and Hispanics and everybody else.
	We're all so persecuted and D.E.I.
	for us.
	They've got to realize that they're just going to be considered white.
	They're going to be considered oppressors as these people get into that eventually.
	And they're going to say, but adding new groups to the traditional DEI regime
	would only reinforce a flawed system. It's a flawed system.
	DEI programs offer, they often assign participants, they often assign them to identity categories based on
	rigid distinctions.
	In a DEI training program at Stanford, Jewish staff members were assigned to a whiteness accountability group.
	Uh-oh, uh-oh.
	And some later complained they were shot down when they tried to raise concerns about anti-Semitism.
	Yeah, the idea that Jews are going to say, no, no, no, no, no, we're not part of the oppressor group.
	Ain't going to work.
	Ain't going to work.
	The former DEI director at a Bay Area community college described DEI as based on the premise that the world is divided into two groups of people, oppressors and oppressed.
	She was also told by colleagues that Jews are white oppressors and her job was to de-center whiteness.
	Nope, you can't be exempted from whiteness.
	You can't say we're the super victims forever and ever because the Holocaust, that just ain't going to work on these people.
	Overall, these programs may undermine the very groups they seek to aid by instilling a victim mindset and pitting students against each other.
	What an idea.
	Danielle Allen, a professor of political philosophy, ethics and public policy at Harvard, champions confident pluralism in which we honor our own values while making decisions together.
	Now, this is the kind of mush these people write.
	What does that even mean?
	We're going to honor our own values while making decisions together.
	And the philosopher Susan Neiman invokes a tradition of universalism that allows for, indeed requires, empathy with others rather than a competition among sufferings.
	Well, you know, the payoff for being a sufferer and being oppressed is so great.
	You can't get rid of that competition unless you get rid of the payoff.
	This essay goes on to say, pluralism does not ignore identity or pervasive structural inequalities.
	Yeah, see, so long as you accept structural inequalities, there's nothing you can do, nothing you can fight about DEI.
	It's going to go on forever, so long as you talk about structural inequalities.
	These people want to say, rather it provides a framework in which identity is construed broadly and understood as a starting point for dialogue, rather than the basis for separation and fragmentation.
	What do those words even mean?
	A collaborative effort of philanthropic funders called New Pluralists is organizing and supporting groups that are putting pluralism into practice.
	You know, just the mental gymnastics these people go through.
	The New Pluralists.
	The current system is not good for Jews at Stanford and at other universities, but it's not good for Muslims either.
	I mean, Who cares if it's not good for white people, white Gentiles, who cares about them?
	And it's certainly not good for society as a whole.
	So I guess white Gentiles are included.
	So there you go.
	Here is a faint, completely incoherent and confused, mild critique of DEI printed in the New York Times.
	But again, what is all this stuff supposed to even mean?
	Supporting groups that are putting pluralism into practice, honor our own values while making decisions together.
	Yeah, yeah, just ask the blacks and Hispanics to do that.
	You know, honor your own values, make decisions together.
	Well, as long as they're attacking Whitey, they'll be fine.
	Anything else, they'll be at each other's throats.
	Another interesting story here.
	Last year, U.S.
	taxpayers shelled out $150 billion in government services and support to help the 20 million illegal immigrants in the country, according to a study from FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
	I like FAIR.
	They do pretty good work.
	Most of this cost is borne by state and local governments.
	In Massachusetts, Republican leaders say there is a $1 billion hole in state coffers, and they're accusing the Democrat-controlled government of quietly siphoning off tax dollars to deal with the immigrant crisis and keeping it all a secret.
	On Tuesday, the state's Republican Party filed a Freedom of Information Act demanding that Governor Maura Healey Release Massachusetts full migrant budget and saying the true cost has been hidden.
	Maura Healey.
	Do you know what sort of person Maura Healey is?
	Sounds like a woman.
	Maybe you can, do you know who that is?
	Maybe you can look her up as you're talking.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Look her up.
	FAIR estimates that in 2023 alone, the cost in state services for the illegal migrants and their children in the Bay State Massachusetts was $3 billion.
	Services like education, medical expenses, law enforcement, legal costs, and welfare were prominent factors.
	These, coupled with the differences in tax revenue compared to expenses, contribute to these huge costs of supporting these illegal immigrants.
	FAIR also included the costs of U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants.
	Most reports ignore them.
	Interestingly enough, West Virginia spent the least on illegals.
	But It still splashed out $33 million for it.
	That's a lot.
	Excuse me?
	That's a lot.
	Yep, $33 million for people who don't even belong in a country, shouldn't have even been here, ought to be out.
	Half of the U.S.
	states were estimated to have shelled out in excess of $100 million, while the bill for 19 states reaches well over $1 billion.
	California led the country, as it so often does, with the expense of nearly $31 billion
	to take care of illegal immigrants and their kittywinks.
	Texas came in number two at $13 billion, Florida with $8 billion.
	The total outlay for American taxpayers was $182 billion, but FAIR estimates that the
	illegals combined local, state, and federal taxes came up to $32 billion.
	So you see they're paying their way.
	They pay taxes.
	We always hear about that.
	Oh, they pay taxes.
	Well, they paid $32 billion in taxes, but they got $182 billion in benefits for a net cost to you and me and to other taxpayers of $150 billion, Mr. Kersey.
	Thank you, Fair, for doing this study.
	She is a white female and she is the governor of Massachusetts.
	A white female.
	I wonder what kind of name.
	Well, she's just an ordinary looking white woman, huh?
	She is Catholic.
	She's Maura Healy.
	Well, well, okay, Maura.
	I'm sure you're doing a great job.
	Don't tell, don't tell the taxpayers that they're supporting these illegal immigrants.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, I think you have one of these really heartrending stories about some guy who fought for the United States.
	And now he has been killed in action, a different kind of action, but he has joined the KIA.
	Yeah, we don't like to usually talk about these stories because they're so ubiquitous.
	They happen far too often.
	And this is one that, you know, again, a Navy veteran, 90 years old.
	This comes to us courtesy of a very good friend of mine, Dan Lyman at Infowars.com.
	Nice to see Infowars doing these types of stories.
	A 90 year old veteran killed by carjacking.
	90 years old.
	90, 90 years old.
	Yep, 90 years old.
	He was brutally murdered in broad daylight by a black suspect.
	Turns out the guy's name is Kylie Denzel Arsenault, a 21 year old.
	The incident.
	Happened at 1245 PM on this past Saturday afternoon in Houston.
	The victim, 90 year old Nelson Beckett.
	He was just sitting in his vehicle at an independent living community when he was approached by a black male believed to be 25 to 30 years of age.
	The suspect assaulted Beckett, then shot him before stealing his car and his belongings.
	Beckett was run over by his own vehicle as the suspect fled the scene.
	The authorities found the car abandoned at an apartment complex.
	Suspect had not been apprehended.
	As of Monday, of course, has been now.
	Fox 26 out of Houston reports that Nelson Beckett, the 90-year-old Navy veteran, was a devoted family man, had five grandchildren.
	Six great-grandchildren and another on the way.
	He often spoke of how blessed he felt to have such a big, wonderful, loving Christian family.
	He spent much of his time helping others, driving people without cars to doctor's appointments, FEMA offices, stores, and even to church on Sundays.
	He was known to help friends from a halfway house, taking them to Panhandle or driving them to church, where he even baptized several of them.
	So again, here's just Salt-of-the-earth kind of guy.
	You probably see him all the time in your community.
	He'd probably wave to you and say hello, good morning, good afternoon, good day.
	And in this case, you know, a guy who's lived a tremendous life helping this community.
	It's sort of a George Bailey type in a lot of ways from It's a Wonderful Life.
	Unfortunately, we never found out what happened to George Bailey there in Bedford Falls, but we know what happened to Nelson Beckett in Houston, Texas.
	Boy, 90 years old and still driving.
	That's remarkable, too.
	My dad drove until he was 90, but then he decided that that was about the time he should hang up the car keys.
	Wow, poor guy.
	I mean, this really, as I say, he is killed in action of a different kind, of a kind he never signed up for.
	None of us signed up for this kind of action.
	It really makes you think concealed carry is the only, I mean, open carry, for heaven's sake.
	Where's the return fire on these things?
	Of course, if a guy kind of sneaks up on you and just murders you with no warning at all.
	I know you don't drive too much, but it's why you have to have your head on a swivel anytime you go to a gas station.
	Quickly sneak the area around, make sure that it's very visible that no one can sneak up on you,
	on the drivers, on the passenger side, front seat.
	And you've got to have situational awareness everywhere in America because it is a battleground.
	Diversity and inclusion and equity have created that, those conditions for.
	I think, I think that is an excellent intro to your story on Brazil.
	Yeah, you know, we're not the biggest fans of professional football here,
	but unfortunately a lot of our fellow Americans are.
	And this season kicks off with a game in Brazil.
	One second as I pull the story up.
	They're going to play a game in, I believe, Sao Paulo, but one of the Philadelphia Eagles Black Players says Darius Slay has blasted the NFL for sending players to, quote, summer with a crime rate this high.
	He has zero interest in going to Brazil.
	So he's a star cornerback for the Eagles.
	And he has made it known how he feels about the season open international contest where they're trying to bring the football, professional football, to a place where the beautiful game is soccer, football.
	The game, it's slated to kick off tomorrow, will be played between the Eagles and Green Bay Packers.
	It'll be the first time ever that the NFL will host a game in Brazil.
	Prior to his trip in South America, Slade published a video online speaking about the game in Brazil, and it wasn't in a positive light.
	Instead, he spoke about how he is concerned about Brazil's high crime rate, and even claims the league told all of its players to not exit their hotel rooms.
	Sounds like when they travel to play the Baltimore Ravens.
	Quote, I don't want to go to Brazil.
	You want to know why?
	I'm going to tell you why, said Slay.
	They already told us not to leave the hotel.
	They told us we can't do too much going on because the crime rate is crazy.
	I'm like, NFL, why would you want to send us somewhere with a crime rate this high?
	End quote.
	Well, I mean, the same thing could be said about London at this point where they play a couple of where they play games.
	The Jacksonville Jaguars have played a number of games there.
	And I mean, but you have to think about it, Mr. Taylor.
	I mean, so many of the NFL franchises are in some of the high crime cities.
	I know.
	I know.
	I mean, this is very surprising.
	He thinks he takes his life in his hands when he's gonna throw the football in Brazil.
	Yeah, think about when you travel to Atlanta, or New Orleans, or the aforementioned Philadelphia, or Detroit, or other franchises.
	St.
	Louis!
	I mean, some of the most dangerous cities in the Western Hemisphere are places that have That have NFL franchises.
	I mean, we're not going to talk about it, but I'm sure you saw the story about what happened in San Francisco with the white wide receiver, the rookie Ricky Parchel, where he was shot by a Latin gang member, 19 year old, as he was trying to sign autographs in broad daylight.
	Shot him.
	You never know.
	What was the motive?
	Anybody know what the motive was?
	Why shoot this guy?
	There's never a motive ever publicized when a white person is shot.
	Sometimes there is, but you're right.
	Most of the time, it doesn't matter.
	White people got targets on their heads and on their backs and on their chest, wherever they go, blaze away.
	Well, back to the crime picture here.
	Ronnie Davis, another one of our African-American fellow citizens, is in custody after he shot and killed four people Who were sleeping on a Chicago Transit Authority Blue Line train Monday morning.
	CTA workers discovered the corpses around 530 a.m.
	just as the inbound train arrived at a station.
	Can you imagine that?
	Gee.
	Four corpses shot dead with the help of CTA surveillance video officers caught Mr. Davis, Ronnie Davis, within 90 minutes and recovered the gun that he used.
	There appears to have been no association between the shooter and the victims.
	Now, I've not seen any description of the race of the victims.
	Who knows?
	But boy, don't sleep on the subway.
	As you say, you got to keep your head on a slim wibble.
	And if you are out cold sleeping on the subway, swiveling is not going to be happening.
	And here's another little, a charming little story.
	This has really got to do with Joe Biden's legacy.
	On Saturday afternoon, a teenage girl was with her mother watching her brother play baseball at a field in Lowell, about a hundred miles west of Chicago.
	Whereupon Dimas Gabriel Yanez, age 26, walked up and stabbed her and then tried to stab her mother.
	The crowd chased Yanez off into the woods.
	What police described as an extensive manhood took place with several law enforcement agencies, canines and aviation units searching for Yanez.
	Imagine the expense of all this.
	He had, as it turned out, cut his hair to try to throw off the people trying to find him, but he was arrested the next day hiding in a cornfield.
	I guess he must have been camping.
	Yanez may have committed other crimes.
	He was deported to Honduras in 2018 for criminal activity before returning to America illegally, while Kamal Harris was Border Czarina.
	No.
	And as you point out, Mr. Kersey, no alleged motive here.
	Just we're just going to go stab a white girl, stab her mother.
	That's just mighty fun.
	If your name is Dimas Gabriel Yanez.
	Now, here is here's an interesting story.
	I really find this quite intriguing.
	It's a story from Denver.
	And the way the Denver papers described it, racist and anti-immigrant signs that also targeted Vice President Kamala Harris popped up Thursday in multiple bus stops in Denver and in Aurora, California.
	One sign reads, blacks must sit at the back of the bus.
	Kamala's migrants sit in the front.
	That's an interesting idea.
	Blacks must sit at the back of the bus.
	Kamala's migrants sit in the front.
	I guess that's racist and anti-immigrant.
	Another yellow caution sign in the same poll warns riders of Kamala's illegals with an image of people running that is supposed to signify immigrants crossing the border.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, I'm sure you will remember those real road signs that were posted in California warning drivers near the San Diego border to watch out for scampering migrants.
	I remember it was a picture of a man and a woman and they're pulling along a little child.
	Apparently, they stopped posting those signs in 2018.
	I don't remember hearing that those signs had come down.
	I wonder why they were taken down.
	No more running wetbacks or we just got so used to them that people break anyway.
	In any case, these signs were at the intersection of Nome Street and East Colfax Avenue in Aurora.
	That intersection is near an Aurora apartment complex that was recently shut down by the health authorities and the building code expectors because hundreds of Venezuelan migrants were living there.
	Now, it's not known for sure whether that was why these signs were posted at that point, but the Denver City Council officially said, the recent appearance of racist signs in Denver is deeply troubling and does not reflect the values of our city.
	I wonder what's racist about them.
	Once again, it says, blacks must sit at the back of the bus, Kamala's migrants sit in the front.
	Well, that's racist and anti-Kamala.
	Transit officials said similar signs that appeared recently at bus stops in Chicago.
	Now one aspect about this that really strikes me as quite intriguing is I saw photographs of these signs and they look like absolute official signs.
	They are on metal just the way ordinary traffic signs are.
	They are really nicely made and bolted to poles with the standard bolting mechanisms you bolt those things up with.
	They are really snappy looking signs.
	Well, the next day, more than 100 Coloradans gathered around a bus stop pole that previously had hosted these wicked racist signs.
	There was a microphone in the center, and speakers took turns offering support for the city and condemning the people who put up the signs.
	The signs were absolutely atrocious, said 43-year-old Denver resident Median Shoffner.
	Don't know.
	Ethnicity unspecified.
	They were full of racism, full of dehumanization, and I wanted to stand in a space where we could collectively and strongly say we don't accept this.
	After coordinating with Denver police and transportation officials to get the signs removed, Denver City Councilwoman Lewis and Serena Gonzalez Gutierrez quickly moved to organize the rally, wanting to offer a place for the community to gather.
	And push back.
	I'm sure they just pushed.
	Heave ho, heave ho.
	Well, you know, also there's now a manhunt on to try to find these vicious racists and anti-Kemmler people who put up these signs.
	Of course, that's, I mean, at worst, this is some kind of very minor Violation, but they're going to probably slap them with some kind of felony.
	It's any kind of objection to the current regime.
	We will track you down as best we can.
	But again, these are very professional looking signs and it's a kind of a clever, kind of a clever appeal.
	Blacks in the back of the bus, communist migrants sit in the front.
	A lot of blacks think that.
	And it does leave me wondering whether it was a clever white person who put these signs together or whether it was maybe a black person.
	But they are done so professionally, though, and a considerable amount of money went into those signs.
	My suspicion it was a clever white person, but we'll probably find out because they will hunt high and low.
	They will probably put 100 agents on their case and try to track down these wicked people.
	Yeah, well, you said that the state of West Virginia spent $33 million on illegal aliens.
	I can see the government of Denver, FBI spending quite a lot more than that trying to ascertain and get to the bottom of Yes.
	That's right.
	of these signs, so yeah.
	Yes.
	I mean, think about how many agents were on the Bubba Wallace NASCAR noose in the car area.
	That's right.
	Do you remember how many agents they sent out?
	I think it was over 30.
	It was some obscene amount.
	You know, same thing with Jesse Smollett.
	You know, same thing with so many of these incidents.
	Well, I do remember the figure for the number of FBI agents who went down to Florida to find out if George Zimmerman could be strung up on federal charges.
	They sent 25 agents down there, 25 FBI agents taken off whatever murder or rape or gangland activity case they were on.
	Try to dig up dirt on this guy and see if he's a racist.
	Boy, the FBI.
	Well, in Britain, let's see.
	You'll be disturbed, Mr. Kersey, to know that thousands of children, some as young as four, were sent home from school for acts of racism last year.
	That's horrible.
	Campaigners called for urgent action to stem the tide of hatred in our classrooms amid fears bigotry has become normalized.
	They say impressionable youngsters are repeating in the classroom what they hear from their parents and from right-wing figures in the media.
	I wonder who they might be.
	I suppose if a four-year-old were to quote Oh gosh, I can't think of his name now.
	Oh, the guy who ran Brexit and is the Reform Party.
	Come on, help me out here.
	The British guy.
	Oswald Mosley.
	They're quoting Peppa Pig.
	Come on now.
	Oswald Mosley.
	Nigel Farage.
	Nigel Farage.
	Yes, yes.
	I'm sure they're quoting Nigel Farage.
	And this hand-wringing article says, impressionable youngsters.
	Yes, they're repeating in the classroom what they've heard in total.
	11,619 children were suspended for racist behavior in 2023.
	11,619.
	And that's up a shocking 25% on the previous year.
	And it works out to about 60 suspensions for racism every day.
	1,413 of these suspensions occurred in primary school, with seven incidents logged against children as young as four.
	I guess they must be quoting Nigel Farage, too.
	As school reopens, these shocking figures remind us the need for vigilance in attacking racism.
	The government must do everything it can to support teachers in taking a robust stance.
	We need a national conversation on the steps needed to build community.
	Now, to me, it's fascinating there was not a single example of what is considered racism What is it these children said or did that got them sent home from school?
	Furthermore, no racial breakdown of perps either.
	My guess is if they're applying these rules consistently, and if you make some fun of someone because of race or whatever it is, probably not.
	Excuse me, non-whites are just as guilty, maybe more guilty than whites, but 11,619 children sent home for racist behavior.
	I suspect they're going to come back to school more racist, so to speak, than ever on account of this foolishness.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, apparently the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, they still haven't figured out how to cure this horrible problem of buildings with racist names.
	Well, they got rid of Silent Sam a few years ago, a statue that I had the honor of seeing at one point there.
	Chapel Hill.
	Chapel Hill is a beautiful campus, one of the more beautiful campuses in the country.
	Renaming.
	This is from the Daily Tar Heel College newspaper.
	Renaming UNC building sees no progress in three years since committee recommendation.
	I should point out that there's an editor's note.
	This article uses she, her, he, him, and they, them pronouns to refer to Pauli Murray.
	This is done in accordance with the style used in the Pauli Murray Center.
	I assume that's a journalism center.
	Pauli Murray Center.
	Pauli Murray, yeah.
	Anyways, none of the buildings that were recommended to be renamed by the University's Commission on History, Race, and a Way Forward have had their names changed.
	The Commission is called History, Race, and a Way Forward.
	A Way Forward is a race in the White Pass.
	That's pretty much it.
	This could go for every southern university, by the way.
	You could do the same thing.
	Yeah, it's just something we see happen all the time.
	In April 2021, the commission wrote a letter suggesting that the university changed the name of 10 buildings that are named after men who own slaves, served in the Confederacy, and or use their positions of power to promote racial inequality.
	It was a 15 member commission created in 2020 by a former Chancellor, Kevin Guskiewski, as a successor of the Chancellor's Task Force on UNC Chapel Hill History.
	Created by Chancellor Carol Folt in 2015.
	I guess that was done after the shooting in Charleston, I can only imagine.
	The commission was created to engage with and teach the past of UNC's history with race and provide recommendations for how the community could and must reckon with the past.
	So when asked about the renaming process by the paper, UNC Media Relations said that the building name removal and renaming it is governed by the Board of Trustees.
	And it's still ongoing.
	Let's just talk about a couple of the buildings real quick.
	The 10 buildings under scrutiny are Avery, Graham, Grimes, Morrison, and Ruffin Residence Halls, as well as Battle, Pettigrew, Vance, Bingham, and Hamilton Halls.
	The Commission composed biographies of the men these buildings are named for to argue the need for renaming.
	So these are some just very distinguished names, by the way.
	You think about sometimes we We have names of, say, NFL players or criminals or advocates for DEI.
	Just listen to some of these very American, old historic American names.
	William Wingstill Avery, James Johnston Pettigrew, Zebulon Baird Vance, Robert Hall Bingham, John Washington Graham, Brian Grimes Jr., and Thomas Ruffin.
	They all served in the Confederacy as politicians or soldiers.
	Six, Avery, Battle, Pettigrew, Vance, Grimes, and Thomas Ruffin, they owned slaves.
	All, including Joseph Gregory de Rochock Hamilton and Cameron Morrison, used their power as military, political, academic, and university figures to promote racism.
	Under Graham's command, Confederate troops massacred fugitive slaves during the 1864 Battle of Plymouth.
	Bingham taught at a private academy for boys where he promoted white supremacist ideology and Grimes was involved in directing Ku Klux Klan activities.
	I'd be curious to know the details about this alleged massacre of fugitive slaves.
	Yeah, well, anyway, we had what we had back in 2020.
	Hamilton Hall was renamed Paul Murray Hall in 2020.
	Pauli Murray was a black orator, author, attorney, historian, priest, and activist who was denied admission to the university's doctoral program in sociology in 1938 because of his race.
	Now he's got a building named for him.
	Well, the process of renaming Hamilton Hall is stalled.
	Not yet.
	No, no, no.
	There are multiple reasons to rename Hamilton Hall after Murray, said the department chair and professor of political science at UNC, Mark Krasinski.
	Currently, there's still a process of going through the going through the motion.
	There's some bureaucratic red tape that not even somebody who was a racist can have cut yet.
	So it's just fascinating to think that this type of endeavors are taking place.
	They're still taking place.
	And well, you know, Mr. Kersey, I'm faintly optimistic that some of these efforts will stall because we have covered several times on our podcast the number of Companies that are getting out of the DEI business.
	Now, these are companies like Tractor Supply and Harley-Davidson, which you can't really imagine how they got into the DEI business to begin with, as opposed to universities, which are just marinated in DEI.
	But there is, I think, at least something of a trend, something of a trend, of people saying, to heck with this stuff.
	So we'll see, maybe it'll get bogged down and they won't end up changing any of the names.
	Dare I hope?
	Yeah, we'll see.
	I mean, I know that the University of Alabama changed some names of some of that.
	Crazy enough, I just found out a friend of mine went to Georgia Tech and he said that, quietly, There used to be a riff of Dixie in the Georgia Tech fight song, Ramblin Wreck, and that has been quietly removed.
	So yeah, they removed that at the end of the fight song, which, you know, again, it's just one of those curious little changes that took place post George Floyd that a lot of people, if you weren't paying attention, you didn't see how Just the tectonic, you know, just the shifts that took place beneath the surface.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, I've got another story about the legacy of the Biden-Harris administration.
	A group of as many as 20 migrants tried to board school buses filled with children in Southern California.
	They tried to board buses along two different school routes.
	This is in San Diego County.
	On Tuesday, three migrants were walking in the middle of the highway trying to stop one of the school buses and forced it to go around the group.
	Should have just run over them.
	Then on Wednesday morning, about 20 rushed one bus as it was stopped picking up students.
	Nicole Cardinal told reporters her eight-year-old son's school bus was one of those affected and describing the incident as really scary.
	These are adults, not children.
	They had backpacks on.
	They're trying to get on the bus.
	There were lots of them.
	Parents and the driver managed to keep them off.
	I'm glad to hear that.
	Buses will now skip stops when there are migrants nearby.
	They will head to the next one on the route.
	And the information to parents is, please stay vigilant.
	And if the bus drives by, please follow the bus so your child could get on at the next stop.
	Well, if you have ever had anything to do with school buses, that's complicated.
	You're not standing there with your car, engines warmed up, ready to chase the school bus.
	If the school bus buzzes by, that's pretty complicated to try to catch up the school bus.
	But this is the legacy of Kamala Harris, Border Zarina.
	Now, apparently a press, the press asked migrant advocate Pedro Rios, And Fox 5 explained, they asked him, well, why are they doing this?
	Why are they doing this?
	Well, Pedro Rios, who never met a migrant he didn't love, said that the heat and the mountainous terrain can drive a desperate response.
	They're desperate.
	It's hot.
	It's mountainous.
	So they're going to pile onto your child's school bus.
	I mean, who in heaven's name would have expected this?
	Well, San Diego has become the busiest corridor for illegals crossing In April.
	Since April, I mean to say.
	So yes, here we go.
	More.
	Another gift.
	Another gift from Kamala.
	Now here's another little interesting story about California.
	And it is this.
	Black advocates at the California Assembly threatened a direct impact on Vice President Harris's presidential campaign after state and Democrat lawmakers held off on two bills that would have green-lighted Payouts for reparations.
	Last week, the California legislature approved proposals allowing for the return of land or compensation to families whose property was unjustly seized by the government.
	I suspect there were very, very few of those.
	And issuing a formal apology.
	But none of the bills would have provided direct payments.
	Uh-oh, uh-oh.
	After hours of heated debate and protest on Saturday, I'd love to have been there for that.
	Don't you think that would have been interesting?
	Heated debate.
	State lawmakers left out two bills that would have created a fund and an agency to ladle out the lolly.
	There's something called the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California.
	It was present en masse at the Capitol.
	I think it should be called the Coalition for Gimme Gimme Gimme.
	It said the governor needs to understand the world is watching.
	California is going to have a direct impact on your friend Kamala Harris, who is running for president.
	So pull up the bills now, vote on them and sign them.
	We've been waiting for 400 years.
	Another one said we owe it to our ancestors.
	Well, I don't think their ancestors are going to get a dime, but never mind that.
	And state Senator Stephen Bradford, who authored the measures, one of our African-American fellow citizens, said the bills failed to move forward out of fear that Gavin Newsom might veto them.
	So the threat is, okay, Gavin, you Democrat, you veto these bills and we're going to punish your pal Kamala Harris at the polls.
	We'll vote for Donald Trump instead.
	Great.
	Go right ahead.
	Well, Newsom has said nothing on most of the bills, but he did sign a $300 billion budget in June that included up to $12 million for reparations legislation.
	What that's going to be about, I don't know.
	And of course, it was Gavin Newsom who approved the law in 2020, creating a first-in-the-nation task force to study reparations proposals.
	This is the outfit that came up with a proposal to splash out $600,000 to $800,000 for each black resident of California who could prove he was defending from slavery.
	And that would be the equivalent of about three times the annual state budget.
	So, they not got the pedal to the metal when it comes to coming through with these payments.
	Sounds pretty bad.
	Now, I guess we've got, boy, time is running out.
	Yikes, we have very little time left here.
	Oh, we have so many good stories.
	There's a nice short one we could do.
	I don't find any short ones.
	No, they're good stories.
	I think the most important thing is to thank all of our listeners in the United States and around the world.
