	Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
	I'm your host, Jerry Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my incandescent co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
	Today is September 18th, Year of Our Lord 2024.
	And as usual, we start off with comments, which we have a good number of thoughtful comments.
	Very interesting.
	And as our listeners will recall, we talked about the Maryland state flag and the fact that it's composed of elements that were both Confederate and Union.
	And our listener had been wondering why the flag has not been anathematized.
	And as it turns out, Maryland didn't have a state flag until 1904.
	And during the Civil War, Maryland-born Confederate soldiers used the red and white colors That's part of the Calvert coat of arms, but this is the way they identify themselves.
	And the display of the Confederate red and white colors became so widespread that eventually there was a law forbidding people from displaying those colors.
	Anyone caught wearing them was arrested for treason.
	Doesn't sound like a very democratic freedom of speech kind of regime, does it?
	On the other hand, the Union Army of Maryland flew the heraldic orange and black banner of George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore.
	And then 15 years after the war, Maryland very sensibly tried to reconcile the two sides by combining the flags into one.
	And this was in 1880 during a parade celebrating the 150 years since the founding of Baltimore, and it was only in 1904 that the flag was officially adopted by the state.
	So the fact that it is composed of both Confederate and Union colors, these days the idea of reconciliation between North and South is considered a very wimpy, almost backhanded acceptance of slavery.
	But a listener writes in to say this.
	As a Marylander, I can tell you with confidence there is no other state as obsessed with its flag than the state of Maryland.
	It is bold, unique, and it is interesting in appearance.
	I would wager that not even Texans admire their flag as much as we Marylanders do, although we might not love the actual state as much.
	In Maryland, the flag is ubiquitous, especially in the more heavily populated areas.
	Not only are there entire shops dedicated to Maryland with flag-themed goods, you see them everywhere.
	I'm not particularly fond of my home state.
	I still live there, but I have to acknowledge just how plain cool our flag is.
	Now, if this were a video podcast, we could show you an example of the flag.
	It is a very unusual flag, unlike any other states, and you can pick it out in a state lineup and no trouble at all.
	Lisa, our listener, says, I have a Maryland flag keychain, coasters, and cutting board.
	Now that seems a little disrespectful.
	You're whacking things to pieces with a knife on the Maryland flag.
	I'm including a photo I took not long ago of a Marylander wearing a sequined Maryland flag jacket that purportedly cost her $80.
	Last week.
	Yes, yes.
	I am showing you're showing your patriotism, your state patriotism.
	Nice point.
	Yeah, I guess.
	Sequined Maryland flag.
	Boy, oh boy.
	I wish I could show that, too.
	It's a remarkable picture.
	But we are sound only on this podcast.
	Last weekend, this point was driven home when I was at a very progressive venue in the very progressive city of Baltimore and noticed the Maryland flag incorporated into the decor of the venue.
	And so, our Listener concludes, the Maryland flag, no matter how many connections to racism, confederates, or slavery it may have, is going nowhere.
	Maybe they'll add a disclaimer at the bottom, but they won't substantially change it anytime soon.
	Well, Mr. Kersey, I can imagine a little fine print at the bottom of every official flag, you know, it says something like, uh, the red and white part was used by wicked Confederates.
	The state of Maryland does not now and never did endorse or condone slavery, some sort of rubbish like that.
	But apparently the flag's going nowhere.
	But it's nice to know that it is a symbol of North-South reconciliation, which is a saying these days is considered a backhounded acceptance of slavery.
	Now, here's another comment.
	It's a story about the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, or MARTA, M-A-R-T-A, which some people say stands for Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta.
	I'm sure since you're familiar with the city, you have heard the version of that Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.
	And if I can make two comments real quick.
	Yes.
	Being a native Virginian, or having spent a lot of time in Virginia, do you have a fondness to the Virginia flag?
	Yeah, I do.
	I like Six Semper Tyrannis.
	Thus, always to tyrants.
	And we really, well, I mean, if you take that serious, if you take that sentiment seriously, our rulers should face a reckoning.
	Thus, always to tyrants.
	Six Semper Tyrannis.
	And that, of course, is what John Wilkes Booth shouted as he leapt off the balcony onto the stage of the...
	Ford's Theater after having shot Abraham Lincoln, whom he considered a tyrant, Six Semper Tyrannis.
	Anyway, about MARTA.
	MARTA has introduced a special bus, paying tribute to the late civil rights leader and transit advocate, Congressman John Lewis.
	I guess you can be just as famous as a transit advocate as a civil rights leader.
	I would have thought transit advocate would come many, many, many, many paragraphs below.
	They go hand in hand.
	They're synonymous.
	A transit advocate is all civil rights.
	I guess.
	The bus is part of a series honoring Atlanta civil rights icons.
	So Congressman Lewis was a key figure in the movement of civil rights and one of the original Freedom Riders.
	And he fought for desegregation in the interstate bus system.
	So I guess decorating a bus in his name is not all that inappropriate.
	And MARTA General Manager and CEO Colleen Greenwood said, MARTA history is black history.
	Well, I guess everything is black history after all, because blacks are the most important people ever to set foot in this country.
	The series of buses also include tributes to Dr. Martin Luther King, Coretta Scott King, Juanita Jones Abernathy.
	I guess that must have been Ralph Abernathy's wife.
	I'd never heard of her before.
	And more are planned for other civil rights leaders.
	I guess there is no shortage of civil rights leaders.
	Well, our listener writes in about this new bus honoring Congressman John Lewis, and his comment is, No thanks, I'll walk.
	What a wicked racist.
	Now, the remaining comments are about Springfield, and you and I had something of a disagreement about that.
	We did?
	Yes, but this is someone who sort of supports your position, but in a very gentle way.
	After listening to your latest podcast, I wanted to add some context to Trump's announcement that cats and dogs are being eaten by Haitians in Springfield.
	A day or two before the debate, several videos were circulating widely on X. One was body cam footage of a black woman kneeling over a cat carcass, which she was allegedly eating.
	Now, I believe, Mr. Kersey, this turned out to be a black American, maybe 150 miles away, and not a Haitian, but sometimes they are visually indistinguishable.
	Then she goes on to say, this is our listener, Another video I was unfortunate enough to see was a very clear image of an ultra-melanated individual roasting a skinned cat above a naked flame on a very modern, very Western range, the kind you would most likely find among people in Western countries, not in impoverished, cat-eating Haitian households in Haiti.
	Now, again, I'm not quite certain that that's evidence of Haitians eating pets in Springfield, but apparently these things were floating around.
	As she says, Mr. Kersey noted, at least one citizen journalist has documented stories of this nature from residents, and these have been shared on X. Then she makes a point that I think is quite valid.
	Please note, animal welfare allegations are often not treated very seriously by police or animal control.
	Often, they can't even decide which department really has responsibility.
	She says, during my time doing animal rescue work and trying to get accountability for cruelty and killing of cats and dogs, I was constantly reminded of inadequate legal response.
	So, the best you're probably going to get is, I saw a very black person grab my dog from a yard.
	Pet nappings occur for other reasons as well, but locals in Springfield report having noticed a definite uptick since the influx of migrants.
	I think her point, though, about this kind of thing being rarely reported and rarely looked into is entirely legitimate.
	She goes on to say, I understand why you prefer to argue on the basis of facts more clearly verifiable, but for whatever reason, this sort of thing, eating cats and dogs, repulses and tugs at the heartstrings of whites more than car accidents, no matter how severe.
	There's probably some truth to that.
	There was this Haitian guy without a license, I don't know if he was driving drunk, and he resulted in killing one, what was it, an 11-year-old boy, and 20 of them were badly injured.
	Yeah, injured in his name, that's right.
	Yes, yes, terrible, terrible.
	Now here's another comment about this.
	I enjoyed the most recent episode of Radio Renaissance.
	It's refreshing to have a welcome change from the echo chamber conversations you hear in white positive podcasts.
	In other words, you and I disagree.
	He goes on to say, Mr. Kersey and Mr. Taylor respectfully held each other accountable, and that's what I love about this show.
	Isn't that nice?
	Thank you very much, listener.
	And then he adds a note on Springfield.
	The FBI is putting up billboards written in Haitian Creole and English here in Springfield, Ohio.
	So here's a Springfield resident encouraging people to report hate crimes.
	This is insane, he says.
	Instead of handling the real violent crime that's now rampant in Springfield, thanks to Kamala's illegals, the FBI is focusing on the victimization of the Haitian population.
	Oh, dear.
	Oh, dear.
	Now, there is some news from Springfield, Ohio, and to the extent that this story, bogus though it may be, about cats and dogs has attracted the nation's attention on what happens when you flood a place with Haitians, it's good.
	But here is a report.
	From Fox News, it says 30,000 Haitians have come to Springfield over the past two years.
	I'd heard the figure 20,000 early, but maybe it's 30.
	It's probably, you know, they all look the same, hard to keep track of them.
	Leading to a housing, jobs, and health care crisis for the city's 60,000 residents.
	See, that is the sort of thing that I wish Donald Trump had talked about in detail and with facts and figures at hand.
	A resident, Mark Sanders, says a big problem is the impact on roads and driving.
	Our roads are like escape from New York.
	You don't know if you're going to get from point A to point B without being run over.
	And as it turns out, Haitians have between four and six wrecks a day, and probably over 50%
	of these people are without licenses, without insurance, and speak no English.
	You okay?
	Yep, sorry, yes.
	Lifelong residents have been moved out of their homes that they've been renting for decades.
	People who own those houses have accepted very high rent from refugee relief agencies, and so they have turned out the lifelong white residents and turned them into dormitories And the landlords doing this are both American and Haitian.
	There is a lot of greed.
	You see, that's a really interesting thing I hadn't thought about either.
	Catholic Relief and what they used to call, what's the Hebrew Immigrant Relief Society?
	They changed its name to something or other.
	They come in with loads of government money, and they need to find places to put these Haitians.
	And they offer you loads of money and say, OK, we'll just kick out these white guys who've been here all their lives.
	Too bad.
	Out you go.
	Then apparently someone in this local guy, Mark Sanders, says, we have a temporary staffing service, which actually is probably employing about 95% of the Haitians who are working.
	Of course, many are not working.
	He says the staffing service owns 63 houses, which again, they turn into dormitories.
	They shuttle the workers to and from their jobs.
	The owner takes a portion of their check, charges them for transportation and for lodging.
	So apparently it's quite a little racket for the local mafia, probably run more by Haitians than by anybody else.
	So, people are sucking at the government teat while America goes downhill.
	Now, I'd love to see real reports on crime rates, what's happening in schools, public drunkenness, actual figures for traffic accidents, but this sort of thing, nobody's really interested in looking into.
	Well, if I could make a counterpoint, I think they are.
	Please.
	They are, you think?
	I think that the reality is, if you look at the commercials that really pull heartstrings for people, When it comes to animals being abused, animals not having homes, the very sad Sarah McLachlan song that plays.
	People want to give money.
	People care about this.
	You know, people are what's going to motivate people to change and to understand something drastic is happening to the social fabric and social capital of a city.
	I mean, there are we're now seeing reports, Mr. Taylor, of at least 10 cities across the country that have populations of less than 15,000 people that have had thousands of individuals there.
	I think there's a city called Whitewater in, I believe, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin that has had 1000 plus Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who have inundated the city.
	And it takes dramatic examples to shake people from their apathy.
	And I think that unfortunately, it came to Pets being abused, whether or not it's true or not, whether or not it's hyperbole.
	We now know, of course, thanks to Chris Ruffo, that it was in Dayton, Ohio, where that grilling of the cat took place.
	Right, right.
	What, you know, Donald Trump, and I'm kind of segueing into the story we'll talk about shortly, he was asked about all these bomb threats that turned out to all be hoaxes.
	And he said, I don't know about, I don't know anything about that.
	But what I know is what's happening to the people of Springfield.
	And it's not good.
	It's not good what's happening when those, you know, when social capital and All these people are bringing time and misery and disease.
	I agree, but you have to stick to the facts.
	Well, we've already had this discussion, and I wish you had been able to talk about tuberculosis rates, or school failure rates, or crowded classrooms, and nobody speaks English.
	You get into an accident with a Haitian, the guy doesn't speak English, he doesn't have a driver's license, got no insurance, obviously.
	This is the kind of thing that's real, and if you can talk about it with facts, then But I guess to get interest in how many, how many actual pets have been dog-napped or cat-napped and skinned and sautéed, but I don't know.
	And even if it's just one or two, I mean, it's just, anyway, we've had this discussion before.
	So yes, now you're talking about these bomb threats.
	Apparently they're bomb threats against institutions or individuals in Springfield, but they're all hoaxes.
	That's right.
	Ohio Governor DeWine said 33 bomb threats have been made.
	They're all hoaxes.
	Of course, these became fodder for international storylines of just how evil Americans are for reacting to this.
	You saw headlines all across the the major media sources, and of course this is one that
	will probably be in the back pages of newspapers or barely reported, as he said, quote, none
	of these had any validity at all, DeWine said.
	Well, the other question is, the other question, Mr. Kersey, there's no indication in that
	story as I recall as to who's phoning in these bomb hoaxes.
	And the fact is, even if they are hoaxes, it's pretty nasty if you have to evacuate a school or a church or a neighborhood or something.
	That's really not a very nice thing to do.
	And the fact that, OK, no bombs were found is not exactly, I mean, that's a good thing, but it doesn't mean the whole process is something that we should celebrate.
	Yeah, I mean, you go back to well, again, it just goes to show that there's an attempt to discredit and show that Trump supporters or those who are Feeding into the frenzy of this story are somehow more malicious than the people who are dominating on this small town.
	Okay.
	But even if they're not exploding the bombs, what I'm saying is if these are Trump supporters and they're in fact Trump supporters, I guess they're having a very hard time tracking them down.
	How many of these are race hoaxes?
	Could be.
	I mean, you never know.
	Exactly.
	No, exactly.
	That's an important point because as the article goes on to elucidate, Springfield City Hall It was forced to evacuate last Thursday because of a bomb threat.
	Two schools were evacuated the next day.
	Two hospitals were locked down this past Saturday because of bomb threats.
	And two more schools were evacuated just Monday, two days ago, as we're recording this on the 18th of September.
	Again, resources have been pledged in allocation of security personnel to every school in Springfield.
	Again, the rising cost of diversity that you just mentioned.
	Well, okay, okay.
	But again, if these are white people who are enraged at the thought that these people are eating cats and dogs and are phoning in these threats, that's not exactly something to be proud of.
	And just because the bombs have not gone off, that doesn't mean that this is not a very unpleasant thing to inflict on the people of Springfield, most of whom are probably still white people.
	Agreed.
	But again, as we know, they're hoaxes.
	And I think we know based on you go back a couple of years to I believe there was a gentleman who turned out he was in Israel that was calling in hoaxes, bomb threats at synagogues all across the country.
	And that story went away very fast, just like this story.
	Again, this is we are in a I don't know, would you call this third generation warfare or not?
	I mean, this is this such a fascinating aspect of what's happening across the country, because we're going to another city here shortly that has seen the same problem.
	of Haitians magically being dumped on the city overnight, basically. And
	two days ago, Springfield Mayor Rob Bruce said he and his family are now getting death threats.
	He told ABC's, one of their correspondents during a Zoom interview that other city leaders are
	getting death threats, some of whom have been targeted by swatting calls. Now, that's something
	that I couldn't even imagine. Talking about terrifying, having, you know, being swatted and
	having a bunch of guys show up with AR-15s and other guns because they think that there's some
	sort of hostage situation or what. That's right.
	And again, again, it's by no stretch of the imagination, the mayor's fault or city government's fault.
	It's the federal government that's dumping all these Haitians on them.
	This is a complete separatist, right?
	Well, but these are not the tyrants.
	Anyway.
	These are quizlings, I guess you could say.
	Not even quizlings!
	They may be opposed to it.
	They probably fought it tooth and nail.
	I don't know.
	I don't think anybody's fighting this tooth and nail except for Keyboard Warriors on Twitter and Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
	I mean, that's the thing.
	This is low-hanging fruit.
	We are at a point now where you could make a name for yourself as a city council member or somebody who wants to recall city council members by just simply saying, this is not what we voted for.
	We are here to To do what's in the best interest of the citizens of this city.
	And none of us voted to see 10 to 15,000, 20,000 Haitians dumped on us.
	This is not what we wanted.
	This is not good for our schools.
	We're now how many different languages are spoken?
	How many resources are being expended?
	Mr. Taylor to have to placate these individuals who are learning at levels.
	Look, look, look, I agree a hundred percent with all of that.
	That's what they ought to talk about.
	Not cats and dogs, but anyway.
	Well, actually, we do have verified facts in Queens that I think deserve attention and probably have gotten very little.
	Well, actually, if I could go back, we combined two stories here, and I just want to talk about Sylacauga real quick, because that's a town in Alabama that on AL.com, one of my favorite websites to read, because I always love learning what's happening in Birmingham, Alabama, a Sylacauga council member fears civil unrest over Haitian migrants.
	When is enough enough?
	Remember the City Council was interviewed by Fox News and says people want answers to the cause of Haitian immigration to the area.
	City Council member Lauren Barlow-Heath said that city officials have no answers from federal authorities to give to their constituents.
	Isn't that telling?
	There is fear here of becoming the next Springfield, Ohio.
	When is enough enough?
	When do they stop coming in?
	How many are there going to be?
	There's no answers.
	We have none.
	The unknown and uncertainty is scary.
	We have 12,236 people in our community and we just do not have adequate resources to handle an influx of migrants.
	It's going to take away resources that are already there, that are already struggling here in Sylacauga, she said.
	I've received death threats against myself, my family.
	I believe other commissioners have received threats and other city members have received threats as well.
	Uh, again, this is just a situation where, again, it's these little small towns that can be, that can be, I don't want to use the word.
	They can be overwhelmed.
	Uh, I don't want to say eradicated.
	That's too strong of a word, but what, what existed before?
	Yeah.
	and a blink of an eye, you have a bunch of buses come in and all of a sudden, a bunch of Haitians get off
	and they go and they start asking for welfare or food stamps or housing.
	And like you said, the roads start to change, it becomes more dangerous, schools are strained
	and people just wanna know.
	And if the federal government refuses to answer, that's where you need strong leadership
	from Governor Ivey in Alabama, or as we've seen, Senator Tommy Tuberville
	has actually come out very strong against this and he's demanding answers.
	Okay, we'll see.
	See, that is the proper response, but death threats to the poor people who are trying to manage this colossal misfortune, that's completely misdirected.
	And people have to understand that it's not the mayor's fault.
	But again, imagine you're trying to run this little community, and all of a sudden you've got, what, 10,000?
	Even just 1,000!
	1,000 of these people!
	And they're going to fill up the bum shelters immediately, and they're going to want to try to send their children to school, even though their children don't speak a lick of English.
	It's a catastrophe!
	But anyway, let us move on to Queens.
	Let's go to Queens.
	I believe that's me as well.
	That's your story.
	That is what's happening with Jamaica Bay.
	Now, let me preface this by saying that Jamaica Bay is a city that has seen, between 1980 and 2008, Mr. Taylor, the white, non-Hispanic population decline by 313,000 people, or 37%.
	the white non-Hispanic population declined by 313,000 people, or 37%. The total was reduced
	from 50% in 1980 of Jamaica Bay to an estimated 26.5% in 2008. So now the proportion of blacks
	has risen to 44%.
	So it's a plurality and Hispanics are 16%.
	So it is a, it is definitely a heavily nonwhite area of, of, uh, of Queens.
	And as stated the New York post reports that fed city to crack down on animal sacrifices in Jamaica Bay after dog carcasses was snapped next wounded pigs found.
	Park officials are beefing up resources following an expose by the New York Post, as mentioned, after a surge of animal sacrifices.
	The National Park Service promised to install a pair of mobile lights by the Attaboo Bridge in the federally managed Spring Creek Park to ward off people torturing and killing animals under the cover of darkness.
	NPS spokesperson Daphne Yoon said the agency was going to provide additional park police patrol in the area where, again, animal rescuers said that at least eight animals were found dead or maimed.
	Since late July of this year.
	These include five wounded pigs, a near-dead baby rat stuffed in a bag with chicken bones.
	Can only imagine what sort of voodoo ceremony that was done for.
	And a dog carcass with its neck snapped.
	Park officials pledged to increase overnight patrols in Sunset Cove Park, where gruesome animal remains also have been found.
	Quote, I've gotten in touch with my partners at both the federal and city level, and we're going to bring a new level of enforcement in the area and really crack down on this sickening behavior.
	One of the council members said, a Republican, uh, animals should not be getting tortured and mutilated for any reason.
	This ends now end quote.
	And unfortunately, I'm, I'm terrified to say that as our diversity increases in the country and people bring in religions and, um, Ceremonies that require animal sacrifices for, to placate their gods.
	I don't think it's going to end anytime soon.
	I think it's only going to become a increasing fact of American life.
	Well, diversity, diversity is our strength.
	Back in 1989, when I wrote Paved with Good Intentions, there was a whole section in there about all of this kind of voodoo and centuria.
	And sometimes they go into graveyards and dig up human bodies because, oh, it's great fun and the gods love it when you give them animal sacrifices.
	But boy, if you've got human bones to play with, oh, the gods love that.
	So I guess they haven't done that yet, Queens, but check the graveyards.
	That's what I would say to these police who are all excited about this.
	So moving on.
	That sounds like something out of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, so I'll pass on that.
	But, you know, you can imagine, you're going to go out for a morning walk in the park, and maybe you've got your five-year-old with you, and you're going to have a pleasant walk in the park, and you find these massacred, mutilated animals.
	Boy, that's living, and that's, it's not Camelot anymore, Mr. Kersey.
	So, staying within New York City public schools, the students will receive lessons critical of capitalism and asserting that black Americans deserve reparations.
	Also, that student loans are the equivalent of debt, peonage.
	They will also be taught arguments for abolishing the police.
	This is in high school, Mr. Kersey.
	There is a 520-page black studies curriculum.
	I mean, that's as big as a Bible, which is being implemented by the New York City Public Schools this fall, and it's got lesson plans for teachers.
	Students will be able to understand the need for reparations through the historical system of debt peonage, and it's resurfaced form via student loan debt, says a lesson plan for grade 11.
	Debt peonage, Mr. Kersey.
	Now, the lesson defines debt peonage.
	It goes to Webster's Dictionary.
	The use of laborers bound in servitude because of debt.
	And that sounds like indentured servitude, which does not exist in the United States.
	Blacks were almost never indentured in servitude.
	That was mostly a white thing.
	And it says it's also a system of convict labor by which convicts are leased to contractors.
	That's not debt peonage at all.
	That is leasing convicts to contractors.
	Did you not think that in southern states there were no prisons at all until maybe the 1920s or 10s because you could always rent out prisoners in chain gangs to farmers who needed labor?
	I think that's very efficient.
	Put them to work.
	Put them to work.
	But this is not debt peonage.
	The curriculum says debt peonage is the system that replaced slavery and exploited black labor families and the attainment of wealth by keeping black families in a continual state of debt, unable to catch up and close the wealth gap.
	And the system is still in effect today.
	And apparently student loan is now the 21st century of debt peonage, and it is a direct descendant of the slavery system.
	Lessons for 12th grade students call Vice President Kamala Harris a black shero.
	A black shero.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	In the fight for American democracy.
	And it uses former President Donald Trump's tweets as a basis for a lesson on voter suppression.
	Now, I would think, you know, nonprofits are not supposed to try to influence elections.
	But this seems like the most blatant election influencing to me for 12th grade students.
	Some of them are probably old enough to vote.
	Students are directed to create biographies of black women in politics, including one for Kamala Harris.
	Yes, voter identification laws are identified as a way to keep black people from voting.
	That's what you're going to learn in high school in New York City.
	And students are also told how slavery financed the American economy and built wealth for American companies and institutions.
	So of course we owe them reparations.
	Everything we own, we owe them.
	Meanwhile, New York City will soon be the largest city in the United States to enact a reparations program.
	Council members Crystal Hudson and Farah Lewis, I suspect they are among our dusty brethren, sponsored a pair of bills to establish a Truth Healing and Reconciliation Commission.
	I guess that's what they think they're going to get if they shake Whitey down for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
	You know, Mr. Taylor, the only type of committee that I'm a proponent of is a Truth, Remigration, and Repatriation Committee.
	Oh, I like that.
	I like that.
	TRR.
	TRR's good.
	Uh, where we assess what's happened, where we look at the consequences of the prior regimes, um, immigration policy to do what they've done to all these cities.
	And we basically say, sorry guys, you're going to go back and we are going to install a government in your home nation that is going to be receptive to, uh, you know, cause we're seeing this in Sweden where they're going to pay $34,000 for a remigration plan.
	And by the way, we do have breaking news.
	I don't like to usually do this, Mr. Taylor, but in regards to the bomb threats that we talked about in Ohio and Springfield that turned out to be all hoaxes, President Trump is about to give a speech in Long Island and explosives have been found very near the event in a car.
	So yet again, we are seeing a situation where a speech is going to be derailed because of actual, actual bombs being found near a speech that he's given.
	So I just want to let all of our listeners know across the country and around the world, we live in a very volatile time.
	Um, he's been, there's been two attempted assassinations of Mr. Trump and now we have another situation like this.
	So just, just be vigilant out there folks and, and understand that, uh, as we get closer and closer to the election, We're going to see a lot of interesting things start to happen.
	This may cut into his audience numbers, too.
	I'd think twice about going to a Trump rally if I thought it was going to be bombs planted everywhere.
	I've been to one Trump rally, and I will say I think that was enough.
	What?
	What?
	You sound so disloyal!
	Oh, you were talking to a loyalist.
	These rallies, he always says the same thing over and over again.
	But he's got a cult following, and they love it.
	Well, let's see.
	Back to this.
	I thought that was pretty clever of you.
	What were you going to call it?
	Truth, re-migration, and repatriation.
	Did you just come off on the spur of the moment after hearing about a truth, healing, and reconciliation commission?
	I did, as somebody who is a firm believer that the American colonization society needs to have its primary focus reignited.
	Yes, I am.
	I am for repatriation and re-migration.
	So, again, it's not hard to do what needs to be done to save our country.
	It's just taking the will.
	So, that's it.
	Well, back to what they're not going to be doing, re-migration and repatriation.
	They're going to think they're going to get healing and reconciliation, which is exactly what they're not going to get.
	But what the commission is going to do is acknowledge and address the legacy and impact of slavery and racial injustices on New York City.
	They want to identify racist, anti-black policies at the foundation of our city's institutions.
	And they will yield material solutions to address these foundational cracks.
	Cities built on a cracked foundation, you see, anti-black policies.
	As for minority leader in the city council, Joseph Borrelli, he said, I'll move before I pay.
	Good for him.
	Now, it's the funny thing about reparations.
	As Joe Sobern used to say, will mulattoes pay reparations to themselves?
	I always thought that was a funny observation.
	I wish I'd come up with that, but I cannot claim that I did.
	So moving on to the University of Michigan.
	It's got an office of the Vice President of Research, OVPR, and just this year has granted half a million dollars for research on anti-racism.
	One of the anti-racism research projects is titled Ubuntu AI.
	Ubuntu.
	Now, maybe you can look that up while we're online.
	I think that's a Swahili word that is about African socialism.
	What is Ubuntu?
	Please look that up for us.
	Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning humanity to others.
	It is often described as I am what I am because of who we all are.
	Ubuntu.
	Well, so this is about Ubuntu AI colon.
	Empowering Design Collaborations Across the Black Atlantic with Artificial Intelligence.
	A snappy little grant was made to study Ubuntu AI.
	Empowering Design Collaborations Across the Black Atlantic with Artificial Intelligence.
	I don't even know what that combination of words means, but it will examine how AI might reverse its potentially debilitating impact on Black Artisans.
	So there you go, Ubuntu AI.
	Another project will study racial capitalism and anti-racism in Kenyan conservation.
	It will identify how and why racialized conservation injustice occurs and how it can be prevented.
	This is in Kenya, Mr. Kersey.
	Boy, I mean, Kenya has been independent for 64 years.
	But I guess there is racialized conservation going on there because the legacy of colonialism will endure forever.
	Another project being funded by the Office of the Vice President for Research is called Ways of Knowing and Storytelling as Diversity Training Mechanisms.
	Ways of Knowing and Storytelling as Diversity Training Mechanisms.
	OK.
	And in three years, this office has splashed out Two million dollars in anti-racism grants.
	The work of these teams, or the work these teams are pursuing, is key to understanding how to dismantle the effects of systemic inequalities across multiple communities, said Trashette Jackson, a top DEI official at the school.
	Well, good for you, Trashette.
	We're going to eliminate systemic inequalities.
	In August, the National Science Foundation gave $4.5 million—this is the National Science Foundation—$4.5 million to Louisiana State University to fund a Center for Equity in Faculty Achievement, focused on working to understand mechanisms that drive bias, along with policy and training interventions to mitigate it.
	You know, sometimes we get the impression that, as DEI glimmers away in some of these conservative companies, that it's on the wane.
	But boy, you find it red in tooth and claw in these places.
	Now, on a separate matter, Northwestern University plans to offer a Critical Fat Studies course in the fall, which explores cultural flashpoints that inform the anti-fat bias, including the emergence of the Body Mass Index Scale.
	I guess BMI, Mr. Kersey, was a fascist invention to shame fat people.
	Yes, undoubtedly them in particular.
	The invention of diet foods, I guess that's all to shame fat people, and the shortcomings of studying fatness in empirical studies.
	I guess empiricism just got to go out the window when you're talking about fatness, just like it goes with racism.
	You just make assertions.
	Empiricism is no good.
	And there is a fat studies course at Brown University called, and this is pretty clever, The F word!
	Examining the science, culture, and politics of fatness.
	I guess you get course credit for this, you know?
	Oh, I'm taking, yeah, I'm taking the F word.
	I got an A in the F word.
	And this February, the University of New Mexico also offered a fat studies class that made participants create a plus-sized outfit.
	So I guess you've got to know how to sew to take this fat studies class.
	Make a plus size outfit, whether you need it or not.
	I guess that's because we're all, I mean, being fat is ideal.
	So we're all going to put on 50 pounds by the end of the course and fit into our plus size outfit that we made our very own selves.
	So, Mr. Kersey, I think you've got a story about something that was very important, that violent crime under Biden is in fact up, despite what Kamala claimed and the utterly unbiased moderators during the debate had to say.
	Yeah, David Muir, during the only debate we'll probably have on ABC, disputed Trump's claim that crime is through the roof.
	Well, guess what the New York Post reports?
	Well, violent crime has increased under the Harris-Biden admin.
	I find that fascinating that they use Harris Biden admin because by all intents and purposes, President Biden is president, correct?
	But again, anyways.
	That's neither here nor now.
	You know, I didn't notice that.
	They called it the Harris-Biden administration?
	Yes, sir.
	In the subject.
	Wow.
	The title of the piece.
	Wow.
	Right in the headline.
	And then in the lead, they do as well.
	Violent crime has increased under the Harris-Biden admin, according to data from the DOJ published last Friday.
	Belying ABC News debate moderator David Muir's correction of President Trump during his showdown with Kamala Harris a couple Tuesdays ago.
	So the DOJ's DOJ survey from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported itself reported instances of violent crime over the last six months, meaning it includes crimes that may not have been reported to police.
	The annual National Crime Victimization Survey showed total instances of reported violent crime, including rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
	It's up from 5.6 per 1000 in 2020 to 8.7 per 1000 in 2023.
	That's a big jump.
	That's a big jump.
	Huge jump.
	per 1,000 in 2023.
	That's a big jump.
	That's a big jump. Huge jump.
	Recent rate of violent crime was in 2022 when the survey tracked
	9.8 instances per 1,000 people over the age of
	That's an even bigger jump.
	So it's dropped but it's still well above the number of 2020.
	Rate of rape increased from 1.2 per 1,000 in 2020 to 1.7 in 2023, while robbery went from 1.6 per 1,000 in 2020 to 2.6 per 1,000 in 2023.
	1,000 in 2020 to 1.7 in 2023, while robbery went from 1.6 per 1,000 in 2020 to 2.6 per 1,000 in
	2023. Aggravated assault jumped, rose the highest 2.9 percent, I'm sorry, 2.9 per 1,000 in 2020 to
	4.5 per 1,000.
	That's nearly a doubling then.
	Yep.
	Now the question of whether crime has increased in the Harris Biden admin as the New York Post uses the term compared to Trump's was a major point of contention in the Philadelphia debate when he said the crime in this country is through the roof.
	President Trump, Muir stepped in to say, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.
	Well, the 2024 quarterly FBI report that Muir likely referenced does not account for crimes that go unreported to police, but does show that violent crime decreased by 15.2% when comparing the first three numbers, first three months of 2023 to the same period this year.
	However, the statistics include incomplete data because only 72% of law enforcement population participated in this report.
	So 28% of law enforcement did not actively produce numbers.
	So you could probably see why that number was 15.2% decrease when you have that much of a lack of data accessibility to be shared.
	So again, I don't know if you watched the debate.
	I watched it.
	I thought he did a great job of bringing this up.
	And again, he was quickly fact checked.
	He was fact checked over and over and over again.
	He was basically debating three people.
	in that debate and I thought he did a phenomenal job considering the circumstances and yet again
	we have an article that shows that crime has increased.
	Well see it would have been great if he had been briefed to the point where he could refer to
	the National Crime Victimization Survey and explain this is a real measure of crime not this
	phony baloney FBI stuff.
	Just but I think it's probably impossible to sit him down and say look here are the numbers that
	allow it to come up and here's the kind of refutation you might expect and here's how
	you can blast that out of the water.
	Imagine how effective it would have been if he'd said, no, no, no, no, we're talking about real crime, not this phony baloney uniform crime report stuff, and quoted the NCVS.
	Ah, well, what could it be?
	Can I pick up something really positive for you that I think you should really hang your hat on real quick?
	I'll hang my head on it real quick.
	One of the people who is advising President Trump is Laura Loomer, who spoke at, I believe, last conference?
	Last year.
	Last conference, yes.
	You told me that you hoped that she would be a congresswoman, about to be sworn in.
	The fact is, she is now advising the President, and she was a speaker at your last event.
	She was actually detailed as a white advocate, I believe, in a hit piece, and she's still working with President Trump.
	I think that's one of the greatest Reminders of the significant shift we've seen that she wasn't immediately denounced as so many people were during the first Trump administration and that she's still working with the president.
	And I think I think that's something to really look at as a as a very positive thing.
	It's true.
	It's true.
	The fact that apparently Trump is just brushed off that particular kind of criticism.
	I think that's great.
	I think that's wonderful.
	However, I must say, if she were in charge of preparing the president, I'm afraid she did a pretty bad job.
	But then I don't want to be blackpailed.
	So anyway, let's move on.
	Let's move on to a place we can talk about with complete confidence, and that is to say, Sudan.
	Sudan.
	There is slaughter routinely occurring in Sudan in a conflict the United States estimates has cost 150,000 lives over the last couple of years.
	150,000 lives.
	Videos underscore the vitriol of Arab militiamen affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces, RSF, towards ethnic black African victims and the toll of that bigotry, which victims say is fueling much of the violence against civilians.
	In one of the videos, a gunman, an Arab in a white turban, gloats over sprawled, bloodstained bodies of blacks.
	He says, take pictures.
	This is a victory for the Arabs.
	This is victory for the Arabs.
	Well, that's pretty straightforward.
	As it turns out, in Sudan, 70% of the people identified as Arab, while the rest are mainly black.
	And many of the survivors of the slaughter said that when the Rapid Support Forces, I like that name, Rapid Support Forces, when they attack African civilians, they call them Abd, A-B-D, Abd, or slave.
	And that is, they say, a racist insult dating to the days when Arab raiders enslaved members of blacks, of the black tribes in Sudan.
	Abd does mean slave.
	And in fact, it is used as a not necessarily racist term for blacks.
	And Abd is the part of the name Abdullah, which means slave of Allah.
	Abdullah.
	That is a respectful, a very nice name for a Muslim.
	Slave of Allah.
	In recent decades, Sudanese Arabs have dominated the top ranks of the government and the military, and grievances among black groups have sparked several uprisings in neglected regions.
	I suspect they really are neglected regions.
	The Arabs are for the Arabs, and the blacks got to spend for themselves.
	And it's this kind of discontent led to a previous war in Darfur province, which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives from 2003 to 2020.
	And during that time, the RSF, the Rapid Support Forces predecessor, an Arab militia known as the Janjaweed.
	I always thought that was a great name.
	Yeah, I fight for the Janjaweed.
	It collaborated with the military to target Africans.
	The attacks against blacks were so widespread and systematic that the International Criminal Court said they amounted to genocide.
	Now, U.S.
	Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has warned that ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and war crimes are happening all over again.
	More diversity is our strength.
	Now, this is all happening in Sudan.
	And as you probably recall, Mr. Kersey, Sudan used to be composed of considerably larger territory.
	I think about a quarter of it became independent in 2011.
	It's known as South Sudan.
	And that's the part that is overwhelmingly black, because the blacks and Arabs never ever got along.
	It was silly to try to try to make them live together in the first place.
	But South Sudan became independent after many, many years of mutual slaughter.
	So what we're talking about is the Sudanese Arabs who are persecuting the blacks who still remain as a minority in Sudan itself.
	South Sudan, of course, according to Wikipedia, this is really a cheerful introduction to the article about South Sudan.
	It says there was a civil war from 2013 to 2020.
	That's immediately after independence.
	All the black people, you thought, okay, now we don't have to deal with the Arabs.
	We can live happily ever after.
	No!
	For seven years after independence, the various different black tribes were at each other's throats with what Wikipedia calls rampant human rights abuses, including forced displacement, ethnic massacres, and the slaughter of journalists.
	And Wikipedia goes on to say the country continues to recover from the war while experiencing ongoing and systemic ethnic violence.
	That's a great way to recover the war, isn't it?
	Ongoing and systemic ethnic bias.
	That means among the blacks, the blacks are now slaughtering each other in the name of ethnic tribal differences.
	So once again, diversity is not always a strength.
	How are we doing on time here?
	Oh, we still got 10 minutes.
	Yeah, 10 full minutes of time.
	Yes.
	Wow.
	We can really stretch our legs, flap our wings, really take to the skies.
	Before we fly too close to the sun, Icarus, I'd like to say, take this time to say we love hearing from you.
	We love hearing from.
	Those individuals who are listening, who want to give their thoughts, their criticisms, their suggestions, stories to talk about.
	Or corrections, as you like to always point out.
	So shoot an email at BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
	BecauseWeLiveHere at Proton.me.
	Either of those will work.
	I look forward to hearing from you.
	I'm forwarding it to Mr. Taylor, or you can get in touch with him.
	Bye!
	Going to the American Renaissance website, amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, go to the Contact Us page and fill out the form there, and the message will come to me.
	And thank you, Mr. Kersey, for reminding us about this.
	It slipped my mind.
	No, we really do love hearing from you.
	And as I say, I really, I really don't like to spread out incorrect information.
	And whenever we bungle, I'm very, very pleased when people call it to our attention and we can issue a correction.
	There's just too much nonsense and baloney out there.
	People eat their own baloney.
	They swallow their own nonsense.
	I think it's a terrible thing.
	So whenever we make a mistake, we are very grateful to be corrected.
	We like love letters too, but please do correct our errors.
	Now, here is a very short extract from a review of a book In the American Historical Review, and I will quote it verbatim and in toto, in his deeply researched and persuasively argued new book, Slavery and the Making of Early American Libraries, Sean D. Moore reveals that the earliest libraries established in what became the United States built their collections using funds derived from the Atlantic slave trade.
	So there you go.
	The country was built on slavery.
	Even the earliest colonial libraries!
	They wouldn't have had books to read, Mr. Kersey, if it hadn't been for the slave trade.
	And here is another little scientific article.
	Extract.
	I'm sorry, an abstract.
	And it says this.
	People now interact with AI language models.
	However, these language models are known to perpetuate systemic racial prejudice.
	Here, I mean, I bet you're wondering how that can be.
	Well, here we demonstrate that language models embody covert racism in the form of dialect prejudice, exhibiting ratio-linguistic stereotypes about speakers of African American English that are more negative than any human stereotypes about African Americans ever experimentally recorded.
	Now, apparently these language models are more prejudiced against black English than any actual human stereotypes experimentally recorded.
	Hard to believe, but that's what this article claims.
	Then it goes on to say, dialect prejudice has the potential for harmful consequences.
	Language models are more likely to suggest that speakers of African American English be assigned to less prestigious jobs Be convicted of crimes and be sentenced to death.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, I don't think that people who are making hiring decisions or deciding to sentence people to death are using some kind of language model that discriminates against black English.
	But that's what this paper seems to claim.
	They're going to say, our findings have far-reaching implications for the fair and safe use of language technology.
	Well, I guess that's true.
	People are unfairly being condemned to death because they speak black English.
	That sounds pretty bad to me.
	But this is probably another one of those wonderful, lovely research programs that was funded by the National Science Foundation.
	I guess I should probably read this and try to get to the bottom of all of these outrageous claims, but there you go.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, I think you have a story about Donald Trump's plans for controlling immigration.
	Sounds pretty good to me.
	Well, it's not the Truth and Remigration and Reconciliation Committee, but it's the first step toward instituting such under, hopefully, the purview of Stephen Miller.
	He plans to terminate Harris's phone app for smuggling migrants.
	It's a statement he posted on Truth.com, his social media site, which I've never spent much time on.
	But he singled out Harris, alleging her office is directly involved in the creation of what he called a phone app for smuggling.
	He said this in a statement, quote, As president, I will immediately end the migration invasion of America.
	We will stop all migrant flights and all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals, revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala's illegal migrants to their home countries.
	Also known as re-migration.
	I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America.
	MAGA 2024.
	End quote.
	Just, just inserting that word re-migration into the vernacular of Americans is so important because it's a reminder that we don't have to see the weakening of our society due to the conformity to political correctness and fear of being called racist.
	Again, that goes back to Laura Loomer being somebody who spoke at your conference last year, who is now advising the president.
	That has become public knowledge, and she is still advising the president.
	Again, not to be too white-pilled, but I do believe we are in a new era of American politics where, you know, the accusation of racism just doesn't mean much anymore.
	And that's the first step toward reconstituting an actual renaissance.
	Well, it's true.
	That's why they've upped the ante to white supremacists.
	Racism just doesn't cut it.
	If you call somebody a white supremacist, or better yet, a Nazi, one of the articles that I saw that was freaked out about the fact that this speaker at an American Renaissance conference has Don Trump's ear, described me as a Nazi and Holocaust denier.
	I suppose in a sane world that might be grounds for a defamation case.
	I think it'd be pretty hard, pretty hard to describe me as a Nazi and Holocaust denier without showing reckless disregard for the truth, which is what the standard is for defamation.
	But I don't think I'd get very far in the lawsuit.
	Now, you mentioned flights, flights of immigrants.
	Most people don't know about this program, but it's called the CHNV program.
	And C stands for Cubans, H, Haitians, and Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans.
	And the idea is that they were such an embarrassment coming across the border in such numbers that what the Harris-Biden administration—I love that—decided to do was fly them into the United States and then process them so that they could cut down the Mexican border apprehension numbers.
	It is an outrageous, absolutely outrageous thing that most people don't even know about.
	My eye teeth nearly fell out when I found out about it, and that is the subject of a video that I did, and the video, which I recommend to all of our listeners, is called Meet Urjadu, Ultimate American.
	Ur Jadu is the name of the person who is in the United States Naturalization of Citizenship.
	What is it called?
	Doggone it.
	It's part of the Department of Homeland Security.
	It's U.S.
	Citizenship and Immigration Service.
	She, a person of that name, actually decides who gets to come here, who gets to stay, who becomes citizen, who doesn't.
	She is one of these, she's sort of like Kamala Harris, and not exactly a half Hindu, but you just don't know anything about her really.
	But there you go.
	And they fly these people in at great expense, and they come in through the airport, so just as if they had a visa.
	They don't have visas, but they're let in anyway, just to keep the apprehension figures down at the border.
	Outrageous.
	Just outrageous.
	Well, let's see.
	Okay.
	Did you know, Mr. Kerr, that New York City lawmakers abruptly yanked legislation that would decriminalize jaywalking?
	I bet you didn't know that.
	Every now and then I stumble across something colossally important that you haven't heard of.
	In any case, the question is how liable drivers should be if they hit a pedestrian outside a crosswalk.
	Now, might the pedestrians be liable?
	Seems to me there's something, there's a real debate here.
	But the bill tried to end the practice of NYPD ticketing people for illegally crossing the street, which city data shows disproportionately impacts New Yorkers of color.
	NYPD issued more than 1,400 tickets for the violation last year.
	Only 4% of the people ticketed for jaywalking were white.
	Oh my gosh, so it's got to go.
	So, but they finally decided they were not going to decriminalize it because there are apparently good reasons to keep it a crime.
	And I imagine to get a ticket for jaywalking in New York City, you have got to be absolutely outrageous, blocking traffic or doing handsprings in the middle of the street.
	But only 4% of those outrageous lawbreakers were white.
	So that's it, ladies and gentlemen.
	We have run out of time, as we always do, and it is our pleasure and joy and honor to spend this time with you, and we look forward to doing the same next week.
