‘White Men Are Our Nation’s Biggest Damn Problem’
Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey marvel at how bad the self-loathing can get. They also discuss FEMA, phony racism, Birmingham, and how to keep whites out of the Air Force.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance. | |
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, with American Renaissance. | |
And with me is my indispensable, incandescent, glows-in-the-dark co-host, Paul Kersey! | |
Well, Mr. Taylor, I don't... | |
According to a listener, they said... | |
Tell him not to say you glow in the dark because that is something that is, in our line of thinking, that means you might actually be an agent of the federal government. | |
Definitely not that, but I do appreciate the praise once again. | |
I would give that to you, though, in regards to you being incandescent and a light in the darkness of our time. | |
You mean you're not a federal agent? | |
Come on. Come on. | |
Dear me. Well, I guess I better stop calling you that. | |
Glow in the dark, anyway. But incandescent, yes, indeed. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, This week, we have only one listener comment. | |
And we start with listener comments, so we almost have nothing. | |
So we must have been mighty uninteresting last week. | |
Or I guess we can say, since I'm always seeking correction when we make an error, I suppose we made no errors. | |
It was a flawless performance last week. | |
No errors whatsoever to be called to our attention. | |
But let us start with this more of a question than a comment. | |
A listener writes in to say... | |
I've heard a lot of pro-white podcasters talking about why white people should not join the military. | |
The main talking point they regurgitate is, you'll only be dying for Israel. | |
Well, that is a whole different discussion. | |
But our listener says, is it just me or does this seem like madness? | |
They never say, join and rise in the ranks, or join and secure leadership roles, or join and learn some interesting skills. | |
They avoid saying that like the plague. | |
Doesn't this guarantee anti-whites and foreigners will take all the positions in the military in the country? | |
Staying out of positions of power or the military is a message anti-whites would push. | |
Well, this is an interesting point. | |
Of course, the wars we get into are never in our obvious interests. | |
I can't think of any war since even the Korean War is doubtful. | |
The United States should be sending its men to be possibly killed only to defend our crucial interests. | |
And I've said many times, I think the invasion of Iraq, that was a war crime. | |
We hanged Nazis for the crime of waging aggressive war. | |
And if invading Iraq was not an aggressive war, I don't know what was. | |
So it's true that I think when we send our soldiers overseas, it's almost never in the interest of any kind of real concern for the survival or the direct benefit of the United States. | |
However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't join. | |
I think you can learn all sorts of interesting things. | |
And men like to make things go boom. | |
I sometimes regret I never served in the military. | |
I could have gone to Vietnam. | |
Boy, what fun that would have been. | |
Hot damn Vietnam, as LBJ used to say. | |
No, I think you have to realize that you may be asked to do something that is not in the interest of the United States. | |
You have to be prepared perhaps to dig in your heels. | |
But I think there are things that you can learn. | |
And if we have racially conscious white people who become colonels and generals, that might be a useful thing too. | |
So I don't unilaterally say don't join the military. | |
But I can understand people who are disgusted with what our military is up to and all of this DEI stuff. | |
All of that must be sickening. | |
What is your view? How would you answer that question, Mr. | |
Curry? Well, I'll tell a quick story. | |
I had a scholarship to a major university, Air Force ROTC scholarship. | |
And I did that till I suffered a significant broken ankle. | |
I wish I had served. | |
However, I was in ROTC during the buildup to the Iraq war, and I attended a number of anti-war rallies from the right. | |
And I actually attended one of Pat Buchanan's events in 2002 from the American cause and got to meet Pat Buchanan when he had just published Death of the West. | |
And I think that's when I first met Sam Francis. | |
He was there. And again, you have to be apolitical when you're in the military. | |
And I think I've read some studies in psychology where less than 5% of the population is able to look at orders and not take them and not follow the crowd. | |
And I just didn't I didn't fit in because I questioned too much about what was happening. | |
And I do regret that I was never commissioned as an officer because a lot of my friends have gone on to full careers now. | |
A lot of them are retiring as majors. | |
Some are actually lieutenant colonels. | |
I do think if that's something you can do for a few years, get to that captain stage and then get out. | |
You know, get your experience because you are, as you progress up the ladder of command, the chain of command, you are going to be in a highly politicized environment. | |
And we're going to talk about some DEI stories in the military. | |
We've talked about them over the past few years. | |
Just how aggressive the anti-white campaigns are to get more officers of color in the Navy, the Air Force, and the Army, and especially the Marines, which is looked at as far too white in its officer corps and its officer ranks. | |
Of course, as our listener says, if that is the attitude that white people have, then that guarantees there will never be a sensible white man in any of these positions of power. | |
Now, is that really what we want too? | |
Or I think there are accelerationists with whom I usually disagree. | |
Maybe they really want nothing but anti-white whites and non-whites in the military. | |
And if push comes to shove, I'm not sure I want to have all those people shoving on the other side, Mr. | |
Kersey. So I think our listener has a point. | |
In any case, as we always say, we love to hear from our listeners. | |
And we'd love to have you call attention to any stories we might have missed, any comments on any of our stories, and of course, any errors we may have made, which apparently last week were zero. | |
And the way to get to us is you can get to me at amren.com, A-M-R-E-N dot com, and go to the Contact Us tab, and you send a message, and they'll come to me. | |
There's another way to get to us. | |
Yeah, I'd love to hear from you. | |
My email address, ladies and gentlemen, is becausewelivehereatprotonmail.com. | |
Once again, that email address is becausewelivehereatprotonmail.com or becausewelivehereatproton.me. | |
We thank each and every one of you for listening and we thank each of those who send in Stories, story ideas or corrections, but as Mr. | |
Taylor alluded to, there seemed to be a paucity of them recently. | |
So good job on you. | |
Just last week, just last week, I think the week before we had, oh, maybe 15 minutes worth. | |
But anyway, all of this is on a bell curve. | |
So we'll certainly get to DEI and Hurricane Helene, but I just thought I'd start off with a couple of somewhat amusing stories here. | |
The superintendent of Staten Island Public Schools was abruptly removed from her post amid ongoing accusations of vowing no more white principals. | |
Marion Wilson, one of our melanin-enhanced fellow citizens, she led District 31 schools for three and a half years. | |
She was swept out of her office on September 20th. | |
That's New York Post talk. | |
Swept out with a big broom. | |
Last year, the Special Commissioner of Investigation for City Schools was asked to look into widely circulated screenshots of texts purportedly written by Ms. | |
Wilson. No more white principals on my watch, said one. | |
White folks need to recognize this is not the Boys Club anymore. | |
A strong black woman runs this bitch now, and they can either get on board or get out. | |
Meanwhile, a white principal, a woman, Heather Jansen, says in a pending discrimination lawsuit against the Department of Education that Wilson unfairly removed her as principal of Public School 46 back in June of 2023 because she's white. | |
And as it happens, this lovely melanin-enhanced superintendent allegedly tested about Heather Jansen, who lost her job, She probably didn't know what hit her when they pulled her white ass out. | |
Well, it sounds like she knew what hit her. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, you'll be delighted to know that Marian Wilson will keep her $230,000 salary, and she will serve as a facilitator in what's known as the Leaders in Education Apprenticeship Program, The acronym is LEAP, of course, and a great leap forward. | |
This prepares teachers to become principals with a focus on racial equity. | |
Well, I think she'll fit in quite marvelously. | |
Boy, yes, no white principals on my watch, so she'll just do perfectly right in there with a focus on preparing teachers to be principals with a focus on equity. | |
So that's a heartwarming story to start with. | |
And then I'll get another little story here. | |
This is from a website called The Raw Story, which I don't often consult, but this was just so raw I couldn't pass it up. | |
It's about the real threat to democracy. | |
And you'll have to hold on to your hats, boys and girls, because here's some hair-raising stuff. | |
The author writes, I simply don't trust enough of my fellow white men in America to do the right thing in November. | |
Most American white men endlessly discourage me, which is why I spend most of my time avoiding them. | |
It's why I have so few male friends left over from my youth. | |
Their support for an orange madman and his grotesque party who means so many people and things harm is a bridge too far. | |
I wonder what the things they mean harm to are. | |
Probably the planet, the universe, everything in creation. | |
He goes on to say, while I have spent some time the past eight years attempting to cross the span and meet them halfway, I have decided they are not worth the effort. | |
They're easy to spot. | |
They like it that way. | |
They're easy to spot because they fly hateful, racist flags. | |
Do you think that includes stars and stripes, Mr. | |
Curse? Oh, yes. | |
They drive ridiculously loud trucks that are made for conquering mud. | |
Well, some of them do that. | |
And I always wonder if these enormous trucks, really high sprung with tremendous giant wheels on them. | |
I guess you rarely see them out conquering mud. | |
And they wear those stupid red hats and they litter their yards with gigantic signs. | |
And how about the thousands I'm sorry, and how about the hundreds of thousands of lost souls who piled into the white churches that are conspicuously situated in the middle of those little towns to worship an orange idol? | |
Well, you know, I don't think they massed by the hundreds of thousands to worship an orange idol, but that's this guy's view. | |
He says, tell me, what in hell can possibly be done about them, those worshippers of orange idols? | |
He says we'll have to get this done without them and it won't be easy, folks. | |
White women have a lot of their own answering to do and also pose a significant threat to all that's supposed to be good and right in this country. | |
But white men are our nation's biggest damn problem and have been since they began overrunning this fruited plain more than 500 years ago. | |
How is this presidential race even close? | |
How isn't Kamala winning this thing easy? | |
Well, pretty strong talk. | |
Now, guess who this guy is? | |
The author is named D. Earl Stevens, and he finished up a 30-year career in journalism as the managing editor of, believe it or not, Stars and Stripes. | |
Stars and Stripes is the official journal of the United States Army, as I recall. | |
And this is what this guy thinks about white people. | |
So, there you go. | |
Well, so Mr. Kersey, there's a lot being said about FEMA these days. | |
Can you tune us in? | |
Well, it's nothing good. | |
I don't think it's ever been good in regards to FEMA. And this is, of course, what we're talking about, the horror that has befallen Western North Carolina. | |
And to any of our listeners who are impacted by that, or if you have a family member, I was actually going to go to Tampa. | |
I had a friend whose house, her sister's house, was completely destroyed due to a canal flooding and saw some horrific video of their neighbors' homes burning down because firefighters were unable to get to the homes to put the flames out. | |
And I know what we're seeing in North Carolina is just Really hard to watch in regards to the federal government just completely absent in helping out the people of Boone and Asheville and these predominantly white areas in one of the most beautiful parts of our country. | |
And there was a story that was published I want to say this is Fox News. | |
Biden admin's FEMA equity plans face backlash amid historic hurricane damage. | |
What an embarrassment. FEMA states on their website that diversity, equity, and inclusion cannot be optional when it comes to managing emergency situations. | |
Now, here's once again that weird Phrase of the Biden-Harris administration that I've seen more and more in the media. | |
The Fox News reports that the disaster relief agency facing significant backlash after its unearthed emergency management blueprint. | |
It's gone viral on Elon Musk's Twitter amid the destructive hurricane. | |
Its website lists a set of three goals as part of their strategic plan to address key challenges in emergency management situations. | |
And Mr. Taylor and dear listeners, the number one goal listed is the agency's priorities to instill equity as a foundation of emergency management. | |
That's goal number one for FEMA. Goal number one of FEMA. Yes, sir. | |
The second goal is lead whole. | |
of community and climate resilience. | |
And the third goal is promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation. | |
That's a distant third goal when it comes to ensuring that equity is the foundation of emergency management. | |
You might recall, Mr. Taylor, that Vice President Harris, now the Democrat nominee for the president, back during the early stages of the rollout for the vaccine for COVID, she said that we should prioritize BIPOCs and people of color first above whites, because obviously the white population was older and it was pretty horrific stuff. | |
But when you think of how the federal government believes equity should be the guiding light for every key decision they make. | |
No, no, not key decision. | |
Well, I don't think. I don't think the idea was to send Whitey to the back of the line for the vaccine because he's older. | |
I mean, older people theoretically needed the vaccine more because they were more likely to die. | |
So it was despite the fact that Whitey is older. | |
Send him to the back of the bus because of all the benefits, all the unfair benefits he's had. | |
This is just a way to even the score. | |
Yeah, good point. Good point. | |
Quote, This requires that FEMA's leadership and workforce demonstrate an increased commitment to integrating diversity, equity, inclusion, and delivering the agency's mission. | |
FEMA must draw upon its staff's diversity and range of experiences to consistently inform programming, policy, and decision making. | |
This is what the plan outlines and delineates. | |
Though investment in diversity and inclusion efforts, including employee resource groups and multicultural training, FEMA can increase its employees' involvement and participation in cultivating a culture of inclusion. | |
All this came to light as Hurricane Helene broke out, leaving over 100 dead. | |
I've seen some reports that we're getting close to well over 250 dead, the most devastating storm since, well, Hurricane True back in 2005. | |
Six states and millions are without power. | |
Social media users began criticizing FEMA's strategic plan in the midst of the damage. | |
Robbie Starbuck, who has done a lot of great work in attacking companies for their DEI initiatives, he wrote, quote, I'm sure people who've lost loved ones, lost their homes, and now see their town underwater really feel great knowing that FEMA's number one goal is to be woke. | |
Everything about their terrible response makes sense now. | |
What an embarrassment. Robert Malone, he's a PhD, he's a doctor in Virginia. | |
He wrote, our government is broken. | |
I heartily disagree. The first priority of FEMA should be emergency response management. | |
And Elon Musk, you know, I think one of the most important people on the planet, he's really been taking this to task. | |
And it's courtesy of his Starlink that we even have internet resources in these areas right now and the ability to communicate with people who are without power and who are We're in desperate need of food, water, medical supplies, generators, and help and rescue. | |
And if you recall, one of the Biden administration's first initiatives was about a $40 billion campaign to get internet access to rural areas. | |
And Starlink and Elon Musk came forward and said, well, we'll take 500 million of that and we'll get this done very quickly. | |
And he was shut out of those talks, primarily because of what was happening with his involvement with trying to buy Twitter and his increasing attacks on wokeness DEI. And now we've seen his company step in and his technology save lives and help coordinate a Civilian response where FEMA continues to be MIA because of DEI. Yes, it's all quite shocking. | |
And I've been very surprised at the devastation in North Carolina in particular. | |
That's all in a part of a state that I'm familiar with. | |
I've been to Asheville and surrounding areas. | |
And ordinarily, those places are high enough elevation so that you don't get flooded. | |
But apparently this was an absolute torrential rain of biblical proportions, as they say. | |
And there had already been a lot of rain and they had terrible mudslides, the rivers completely overflowed. | |
I never would have imagined that a city up in the Appalachian, why it would be so underwater like that. | |
But the fact is they do build the towns in valleys, but still, The valleys are then on rivers that run downhill. | |
This was an absolutely devastating, horrifying thing. | |
And as a matter of fact, I have done this week's video, Mr. | |
Kersey, on the whole FEMA woke approach. | |
It's just disgusting. | |
It's worse than disgusting. It's embarrassing. | |
The whole approach they've taken to this. | |
And you know, I suppose you perhaps saw that today Alejandro Mayorkas, who is the boss of FEMA, he came out and said, oh, we've run out of money for hurricane relief. | |
He didn't say it in so many words, but that means all those hillbillies are just gonna have to lump it. | |
Unbeknownst to most people, FEMA also spends billions of dollars feeding and housing and clothing and trying to medicate illegal immigrants. | |
They've got whole programs to do this. | |
Billions spent on that. | |
Here we thought FEMA was for emergency relief for Americans. | |
No, it is spending billions on border hoppers, for heaven's sake. | |
And Alejandro Mayorkos is calmly saying, well, we've run out of money, so too bad for those boys and girls who are up in the mountains being flooded or down in Florida, the plains being flooded and have their houses squashed. | |
Too bad for them. | |
Thoroughly disgusting. | |
I could give you a headline. | |
Mike Cernovich, really good guy, tweeted out a New York Post story. | |
FEMA program for migrants grows along with border crisis. | |
From over 360 million to 650 million, this was published on July 8th, 2024. | |
No, this isn't an illegitimate government. | |
We're seeing it before our eyes. | |
Today, Pete Buttigieg, whatever his name is, the homosexual secretary of... | |
I can't remember what secretary he is. | |
Transportation. Transportation, exactly. | |
It's such a joke that the mayor of... | |
South Bend, Indiana has any authority over anything. | |
He actually just came out and said it is illegal for private citizens to be flying drones in an area where the federal government has emergency jurisdiction over. | |
Please stop doing it because, Mr. | |
Taylor, so many civilians are going to try and help citizens out by doing the job that FEMA is not doing and, more importantly, that FEMA is doing to help The Great Replacement transpired due to our borders completely being overrun and this mass invasion of our nation. | |
Our resources should be given to our citizens. | |
And I think this is one of those moments where, and I'm going to say this again, regardless of race in these areas, we should be helping out every American. | |
And I'm talking about Americans. I'm not talking about people who have been resettled. | |
I think I saw a story where there have been some looting and it turned out that they were illegal immigrants who were participating in the looting of some stores and some stories that I've seen. | |
This is one of those infuriating moments where you really look at the objective of our federal government and this DEI, woke nonsense, whatever you want to call it. | |
It's just anti-white. I mean, if this were New Orleans being hit again or a predominantly black area, the president would have already resigned. | |
Because if you recall, President Bush said the worst moment of his presidency was when Kanye West called him a racist on the telethon back in 2005, that George Bush doesn't like black people. | |
And if this were New Orleans that had been hit, we would have seen every level of the government activated to help out the situation, as we saw in Katrina, which, of course, you documented in Africa in our midst. | |
And what we're seeing with Helene in our midst, we're seeing the best of what white people do. | |
I'm actually, when this podcast ends, I'm going to go help load airplanes where I am right now. | |
That our private citizens are helping and donating en masse to have airplanes fly to drop off generators and food and medical supplies. | |
I mean, this is infuriating and this is why we need our own country. | |
We need to take control again and not be in this occupied government, which again, it's only going to get worse as whites become. | |
Fewer and fewer with less representation because we have no representation right now. | |
And that's the reason why we're in this situation we are. | |
And fortunately, this is getting a certain amount of attention. | |
The fact that FEMA's number one goal is equity. | |
And equity, of course, equity means, you know, I go into some of the details of this big manual they've got to how to achieve equity. | |
And they say, Basically, we want to, by the time FEMA has finished, we want all of the underprivileged and all of the marginalized communities, and that means everybody in the country except white, Christian, heterosexuals. We are the ones who are oppressing everybody, and so everybody else, by the time FEMA's finished, has got to be better off than they were before. | |
That's equity. That's FEMA's job. | |
FEMA's job also is to go into the pre-existing conditions. | |
I mean, they don't list them, but is that supposed to be terrible schools? | |
Is that supposed to be high murder rates? | |
Is that supposed to be all of the terrible things that non-whites and so many immigrants are bringing? | |
Is that their job, too? | |
Well, no, this is absolutely outrageous. | |
And all the money again splashed out so that these border hoppers, they can have a roof over their head. | |
They can have food on their plates, while people up in the United States, all the way across, it's really all up and down the eastern seaboard, they can just go hang, as far as Mallorca seems to be concerned. | |
No, it's outrageous, and I'm glad, I'm delighted, this getting some public attention, and not just from people like you and me. | |
Oh, it's not. I think this is, once again, one of those moments where we see the best of our, we see the best of the remnants of our nation when people are coming together to try and help out and do what they can to go rest in the absolute indifference. | |
I won't say malice, but, you know, the purpose of the system is what it does, and if FEMA is more concerned with making life palatable for illegal immigrants, As opposed to citizens who are actually impacted by natural disasters, then I think we need to really assess what is the purpose of our government and ask that question and begin to really question where things are going. | |
Well, I've been doing that for a long time, Mr. | |
Kersey. We've been questioning things we're going for quite a long time. | |
Now we need to just stop questioning and start taking action. | |
But anyway, so, This is actually a little item on good black parents. | |
Good black parents. | |
And let me tell you about them. Parents of some unruly teens who were accused of flash mob robberies against several Los Angeles area convenience stores have turned them into the police. | |
At least three parents have turned their children in. | |
And the series of robberies occurred over the summer. | |
And surveillance footage shared by police shows groups of young men biking to the stores, forcing their way in and wreaking havoc. | |
The usual stuff. | |
And it's almost always caught on video, as you know. | |
And this is a bicycle crew, they say, consists of about 20 to 40 juveniles. | |
They call or show up on bikes. | |
13 of the 14 incidents happened on Friday evening. | |
Interestingly enough, as I say, some of the parents have voluntarily turned these thugs in, and it is all heavily melanin-enhanced, needless to say. | |
And as one of the experts says, these parents may fear that if this behavior continues, it could escalate into more serious crimes, leading to prison time. | |
Well, I guess that's another way of saying no one is getting prison time for this. | |
But yes, at least some of the parents are doing the right thing. | |
Some of them are. | |
Some of them are. | |
Yes, let's hope more are. | |
So that was a good news story. | |
Now, here is a typical they learn quick story. | |
The top elected official in a county in suburban Houston was indicted on Thursday over allegations he created fake racist social media posts when he ran for re-election in 2022. | |
I bet you can tell where the story's going, Mr. | |
Kersey. The grand jury indicted Fort Bend County Judge K.P. George on a misdemeanor charge. | |
The indictment says that back in 2022, he posted as a Facebook user named Antonio Scalaway with intent to injure a candidate or influence the result of an election. | |
George, Who, despite his name, is Indian, subcontinental Indian, was running for re-election as county judge. | |
Now, I didn't realize this, but a county judge serves as the chief executive officer of a county in Texas. | |
I had no idea. | |
In any case, he wanted to be the top guy in the county. | |
He was indicted after authorities accused him in a research warrant of working with his former chief of staff, Taral Patel, yet another Indian. | |
To use the Antonio Scalawag alias, To post racist social media targeting George in order to garner sympathy. | |
Now, I couldn't find any examples of these racist sympathy garnering texts, but apparently he was just bathing in bathos, moaning about how racist everybody is, thought he was going to get sympathy vote, but his cell phones and computers were seized. | |
And he was born in India, later became a U.S. citizen. | |
And, interestingly enough, his former chief of staff, his co-conspirator, so to speak, is running for county commissioner on the November 5th ballot, just coming up. | |
He, too, has been indicted. | |
The authorities say Patel also used the Antonio Scalawai alias to make racist posts to help him in his own race for county commissioner. | |
Here you have two dark-skinned Indians. | |
But these Indians are smart lads. | |
They learn pretty quickly how to trade on that dark skin. | |
So here they are trying to drum up sympathy for themselves by pretending that they are under attack from wicked racists, wicked racists by the name of Antonio Scalawag. | |
Scalawag is a historical term. | |
They will discuss it in one of these days. | |
Interesting that they would choose that term. | |
Well, go ahead and discuss it real quick. | |
Well, scalawags, as I recall, were they not the Southerners who cooperated with the Yankees during Reconstruction? | |
Yes, correct. Yes. | |
Yeah, it is not a term of endearment. | |
No, no. Scalawags. | |
These days, I suspect that Southerners would come up with something rather more colorful than scalawags. | |
Be that as it may. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, you had a fascinating story about Birmingham. | |
And so I'm sure that our listeners will find it just as interesting as I did. | |
You know, we've talked about Birmingham a lot. | |
This is a city that is near and dear to my heart, and there's been a lot of really, really interesting stuff coming out of Birmingham this year in regards to just its utter collapse in terms of population. | |
From about 360,000 people to about 150,000 people now. | |
It's a 71% black city. | |
And there's a story in alabama.com, al.com. | |
Unsafe Birmingham may need National Guard to help shorthanded police after mass shooting. | |
Now, after the civil rights victory in the South by the federal government, White people, who were the majority of the city of Birmingham, as documented by Gregory Hood and myself in a Great Replacement article, which you can find at amrin.com, white people fled over the mountain and they rebuilt the city in what is now the suburbs. | |
Mountain Brook, Vestavia, Hoover, Spain Park. | |
Beautiful area. It's amazing what white people, you know, rebuilt the city basically. | |
What was left behind is this. | |
A mass shooting left four dead in Birmingham's historic Five Points South Entertainment District, prompted one Jefferson County legislator to say that Birmingham is unsafe, that its police department is dangerously understaffed, and that the National Guard may have to be called in to help. | |
Birmingham Mayor Randolph Woodfin, Randall Woodfin, he's a black man, called for more | |
gun control legislation in return to requiring permits for handguns. | |
State Rep. Jwandalyn Given said no amount of laws will fix the problem. | |
She is a black female. | |
Quote, Birmingham has a problem that even if you pass 15 pieces of legislation with | |
gun violence or any type of gun bills, the problem is you do not have the manpower to | |
enforce the laws. | |
There are already laws on the book, she said. | |
I agree. She represents Jefferson County in the state legislature of Alabama. | |
Jefferson County is home to Birmingham. | |
Birmingham, I'm sorry, while in the past the city has employed about 800 police officers, that's now down to roughly 400 or half. | |
Quote, the issue is that, the issue going on in Birmingham is that you cannot have criminals who now see that the Birmingham Police Department is understaffed, undermanned, she said. | |
That was not happening, Mr. | |
Taylor, when Bull Connor was in charge of the city of Birmingham in the 1960s. | |
But that's a story for another day. | |
It might not have been undermanned, but they would say it was high-handed. | |
But it was effective. | |
It was effective. It got the job done. | |
It was effective, yes. | |
It was too effective, unfortunately. | |
The criminals gunning down innocent civilians in Birmingham do not obey gun laws or any other laws, she said. | |
And those criminals are... | |
About 99% black of those that they catch. | |
Again, these are just statistics, ladies and gentlemen. | |
This is the fact for a 71% black city. | |
Quote, let's pass gun laws. | |
Yeah, it's universal. Everyone around the world talks about it, said Given, a longtime proponent of passing stricter gun laws. | |
Quote, These thugs, these punks, these criminals, these killers are not going into the store buying guns. | |
They're buying guns. They're buying them off the black market. | |
They're buying pump stocks off the black market. | |
Nobody's going after the seller. | |
You've got to get to the distributor. | |
But beyond that, the problem will still remain that the city of Birmingham Law Enforcement Police Department She sounds like a very sensible woman. | |
All this jabbering about gun control, that affects law-abiding citizens, and she seems to know it. | |
That's not the problem. | |
Of course, she refuses to put her finger on the real problem, but at least she realizes that gun control laws are not the solution. | |
Yeah, over the years, Birmingham has had so many sad stories about what crime has done, where they would try and have marches against violence, they'd have prayer against violence, I can't remember some of the insane things that have happened. | |
It's almost laughable and implausible what the black leadership has tried to do to blame anyone and everyone, but the black population for incubating this gun problem. | |
Well, you know, to me, the saddest stories are when they have some sort of rally for de-escalation and stop the gun violence. | |
And of course, it'll be a big black crowd. | |
And then people start shooting each other. | |
These are just heartbreaking stories. | |
And as you and I have often said, it's the local people who really are trying what appear to be last ditch efforts, trying to go and going around and talking to people, please stop putting up posters and say, don't shoot each other. | |
Whereas the people who are in a position to do anything about it, they just want to control. | |
They would just want to pass gun control legislation, which, as I said before, all that's going to do is keep innocent law abiding people from having guns. | |
Yeah, well, and again, it's a situation where a lot of the white liberal writers for the Birmingham News, they want to blame white people and white flight for the problems that are left behind, when in reality, the reason why white flight happened is because white people were sensible and they realized there's a population that is predisposed to criminality based on low impulse control, based on lower intelligence. | |
Whatever you want to factor in. | |
And we're seeing the consequences of the civil rights legislation play out now in 2024 Birmingham. | |
Well, also, even if they do have low impulse control and even if they do have low IQs, you lock up enough of them and the rest of them will be law-abiding. | |
It's still a rather small minority that commits a huge abundance of the crime. | |
So, lock them up. | |
And I think we really need to bring back the death penalty. | |
Third felony, that kind of thing, finished. | |
You're not going to be let out to propagate. | |
No, I think, and this would be a huge, huge benefit for people of all races, especially black people. | |
Yeah, you know, Robert Heinlein put it best, punishment must be unusual or else it serves no purpose, and there needs to be... | |
Must be unusual? | |
Yeah. Punishment must be unusual or else it serves no purpose in regards to criminality. | |
People need to know that there are consequences. | |
And like you said, I do believe in, hey, I'm going to go on record here. | |
I believe that we need to bring back public executions. | |
I believe we need people People need to see in Birmingham. | |
Imagine if you went to Kelly Ingram Park and had a public execution of some gangbangers who did a drive-by shooting at one of the funeral homes, which we see far too often in inner cities where there's gang war or beef between factions and there's a funeral taking place and then innocent bystanders are shot. | |
I mean, again... Well, I think punishment should be usual. | |
For folks who commit the crime, yes, it should happen. | |
I agree, I agree. | |
It should be axiomatic and we should see, it should be, oh, you did this, you did this, you did this. | |
Guess what? You're out. But what I'm saying is it has to be – it should be unusual so as to deter, but it should be – you're right. | |
I mean, again, I'm just quoting from Sharsham Troopers. | |
It's my favorite book. But just to finish the story and then to get out – to move on from Birmingham, she would go on to say that you got to fix the police department. | |
Your officers are leaving at rapid rates to a point that they're 50 percent efficient in terms of manpower. | |
And then she said this, you have officers leaving to take 20,000 to 30,000 pay cuts to get away from the city of Birmingham. | |
That's a problem. That's remarkable. | |
That's remarkable. I imagine these are overwhelmingly black police officers. | |
Maybe there's some whites left on the police force there. | |
But the point is, they find working in Birmingham so bad, they're going to take a substantial pay cut just to get out of that city. | |
That's remarkable. Yeah, it's a sign of the times. | |
Yeah, yeah. Wow. | |
Well, what was her first name? | |
It was one of these unusual melanated names. | |
It is a melanated name. | |
Let me go back. I'd actually factored out of that story. | |
We'll move on and I'll tell you her name in one second. | |
Okay, okay. Well, let's move on to... | |
Jawandalin. Jawandalin. | |
Jawandalin. Jawandalin Given. | |
Well, I say three cheers for Jawanda. | |
Good for her. But moving on to Britain, where we found the original Birmingham, there were more than 46,000 asylum seekers in hotels at the end of December 2023. | |
And they were costing the British taxpayer 8 million pounds a day. | |
Now, if you divide 8 million by 46,000, that is 174 pounds per person per day. | |
That's about $230 a day. | |
These are asylum seekers. | |
$230 a day. | |
I think with a per diem like that, you could probably do pretty well. | |
You and I certainly could. | |
And the cost of accommodating and supporting asylum seekers has soared again, despite government pledges to reduce the already, quote, astronomical bill. | |
By reducing reliance on hotels. | |
That's the way they're going to cut the bill. | |
By reducing reliance on hotels, rather than keeping them out, for heaven's sake. | |
They're going to just find some cheaper way to feed them, house them, close them, try to educate them. | |
Latest home office figures show the annual cost of asylum support Resettlement and accommodation was 5.42 billion pounds, 23 to 24. | |
That was 1 billion more than the 4.3 billion the previous year. | |
And now, as I say, it's up to, let's see, what's the figure? | |
8.8, 8.5 billion dollars. | |
So there you go. | |
That is money that's being splashed out for all of these illegals, border hoppers. | |
And when the news of the eight million pounds a day broke last year, then shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper branded it as astronomical. | |
She was a shadow home secretary that was labor was out of power and she accused the Tories of utter failure. | |
But as home secretary since July, she's now dealing with the much greater cost herself and clearly doing nothing about it. | |
So I'm sorry, the total this year was 5.42 billion. | |
Pounds, 8 million pounds a day. | |
At least the people of Great Britain are noticing. | |
There's a story from Germany. | |
A Syrian has been arrested following chaos with fires tearing through two blocks of apartments, leaving 30 people hurt, including eight children. | |
Two of the children were in life threatening condition after inhaling smoke. | |
Some of them had to be thrown from windows to escape the flames, but they landed on cushions placed on the streets. | |
This was all in the city of Essen. | |
Footage posted on X shows a van ramming through two shops a short time after the fires were set, targeting people connected with the arsonist's wife, who had left him. | |
This Syrian is 41 years old. | |
He was arrested at the scene, thank goodness, after having threatened passers-by with a machete. | |
Apparently he didn't manage to carve up any police officers or any passersby. | |
As it turned out, several men managed to hold him at bay with shovels and sticks until the police arrived. | |
At least this appears not to have been an anti-white or anti-Christian motive. | |
It's just a Syrian run amok. | |
But, once again, these are not the people we want in Germany. | |
Now, moving on to Austria. | |
I don't think Syrians want them in Syria. | |
You're right. Nobody seems to want them. | |
But the other aspect of this is he set fire to two blocks of apartments with the expectation of hurting people associated with his wife. | |
That probably means all of these buildings are just full of Syrians. | |
So we have this kind of vendetta. | |
You know, I guess these Muslims just don't take very well to women leaving them. | |
Their Muslim pride is injured by that. | |
But moving across the border to Austria, for the first time, the Freedom Party of Austria has emerged as the most popular party in Austria. | |
It got 29.1% of the vote, followed by the center-right Austrian People's Party with 26%. | |
The Greens and the Neos, a liberal party, got 8% each. | |
The Social Democrats got about 20%. | |
So it's in one of these situations where you can be the top party, but they are a large number of parties, so you don't have a full majority. | |
But 29%, that came in first. | |
The party took a frank and unyielding approach to immigration, running on a platform of Fortress Austria, Fortress Europe. | |
I like that. | |
When are we going to have Fortress America, Mr. | |
Kersey? He was going to put an end to third world immigration entirely. | |
Not one of them. | |
Party leader Herbert Kickl also expressed the conviction held by many Austrians that their country should stay out of the Russia-Ukraine fight. | |
It was felt that the post-war tradition of Austrian neutrality should be reaffirmed. | |
Fancy that. Now, I've been following the Freedom Party of Austria for quite some time. | |
In 1986, Jörg Haider became party chairman, and he gradually integrated an immigration control position while remaining liberal on most issues. | |
And in 1999, I remember thinking this was a wonderful day, Mr. | |
Kersey. The Freedom Party did very well in elections, becoming, for a time, the second most popular party in the country, and it joined a ruling coalition. | |
And boy, I remember how upset, excited, hysterical all of the good little woke Europeans were at the idea of a far-right immigration control party actually sharing power. | |
But it waned in popularity. | |
There was a certain amount of mismanagement in the Freedom Party. | |
And in 2005, Heinz Christian Strache was elected as chairman. | |
And he revived the party's fortunes. | |
He was even more nationalistic than Haider, and at one time he was one of my favorite European politicians. | |
And it kept growing between 2005-2016, and the Freedom Party candidate Norbert Hofer won the first round of the presidential election in 2016. | |
Remarkable, but he lost in a runoff. | |
Now, Mr. Curzi, you may remember this. | |
In 2017, the Freedom Party got 26% of the vote and was part of a coalition government with the Austrian People's Party, but Heinz Christian Straha got trapped in a scandal. | |
He was vacationing on the island of Ibiza in the Mediterranean when he agreed to meet a Russian banker. | |
This was a nice-looking lady banker And she had, I can't remember exactly what the proposal was, but it was some sort of skeevy proposal, and he acted as though he might entertain this. | |
It was sort of a form of bribery, if I recall. | |
It was a complete setup. | |
And this was a scandal, and the coalition government fell apart, and Strache had to leave politics entirely. | |
Now the question is, Austria's number one vote-getter is the The Freedom Party, the Austrian Freedom Party. | |
And the question was, will the Freedom Party have some power and influence? | |
We'll have to wait and see. It's still significant that At least on vote counts, the most popular parties in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Netherlands are all real hard, firm anti-immigration. | |
It's not just immigration control. | |
Anti-immigration. | |
We're not going to control immigration. | |
We'll control immigration to the point that there is none of it. | |
Change, Mr. | |
Kersey, is in the air. | |
And speaking of the air, it looks as though the Air Force wants to change what is in the air in our airplanes. | |
Well, yes, they have for some time as we unfortunately have documented before, but this is from The Daily Caller. | |
New Doc sheds light on Air Force's goal to reduce the white male population joining the officer ranks from the ROTC program. | |
Joint Chief of Staff Chairman CQ Brown I believe he's the first Black man to be the Joint Chief of Staff Chairman. | |
At the time, the highest ranking member of the Air Force, he issued a memorandum back in 2022 that the branch was updating its racial and gender demographic goals for applicants seeking to become officers in a bid to prioritize, drum roll please, diversity and inclusion. | |
Total documents include a slideshow from 2022 where the Air Force outlines racial and gender quotas detailing how it hopes to achieve I know a lot about that. | |
The documents reflect the Biden-Harris Pentagon's intense focus on implementing diversity, equity, inclusion policies in the Air Force, even as the Air Force continues to combat dwindling morale among its rank-and-file, recruiting and retention shortfalls, and low pay. | |
Quote, The American people are rightly concerned that at a time when our country is facing dangerous and increasing threats throughout the world, the Air Force is focused on recruitment efforts based on arbitrary racial diversity goals, not merit or increasing the force's lethality. | |
James Fitzpatrick, director of the Center to Advance Security in America, told The Daily Caller. | |
According to all of the information we have from this story, his organization sued the Air Force for records and received hundreds of documents and slides in response. | |
Which have been obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. | |
Turns out that one of the slides in question labeled AFROTC White depicts a graph that shows the percentage of white male ROTC officer applicants declining from roughly 60% in fiscal year 2019 to a projected 50% in fiscal year 2023. | |
The graph further details how the Air Force's goal is to reduce that percentage down to approximately 43% by fiscal year 2029. | |
Denoted by a star with the label achieved goal. | |
White male population will decline as other demographics increase. | |
The slide read. | |
That's not a PowerPoint I want to see because that's a... | |
That's a PowerPoint that is defiantly in the face of our air lethality, as the gentleman used the term, because we know that what? | |
I think 95% of Air Force pilots are white. | |
And that's the most rigorous training you do in the country in terms of flight training and in terms of being Forced to show merit, regardless of race. | |
You're, you know, you're going through... | |
Oh, but we can be assured. | |
We can be assured that they will waive some of these qualifications for the right people. | |
Do you remember the name Karen Hultgren? | |
Yeah, she was one of the first, was she the first F-16 or F-18 pilot? | |
Or forgive me, I forgot. You know, it was not, it was a carrier-borne aircraft. | |
That's right. Yes, so it would have been an F-18, not an F-16. | |
But she ended up crashing it. | |
She had flunked many stages through the pilot training, but they figured, oh, we have to have this woman, we have to have this woman. | |
I believe she crashed it and died. | |
But maybe she managed to eject. | |
I can't remember her name, Karen Hultgren. | |
And I'm sure there have been many, many similar stories about BIPOC flyers, but many of them we probably never hear about. | |
They will cover all that stuff up. | |
But yes, it's just like FEMA. Equity is job number one. | |
Job number one is not finding and killing the enemy. | |
Job number one is DEI. So, yep, okay, yes, off we go into the wild blue yonder. | |
It's getting wilder and wilder, and less and less blue all the time. | |
So, let's see. | |
Oh, here's a little note about, or maybe more and more blue. | |
I don't know if we talk about American political colors these days. | |
Here is a story about John Kerry, good old John Kerry. | |
That was 2004, right? | |
He was the Democratic candidate for president. | |
Well, he's back in the spotlight. | |
I believe he was at the World Economic Forum talking about what's wrong with social media. | |
And he says, the First Amendment stands as a major roadblock for us right now to hammer it out of existence. | |
Now, he's not talking about social media entirely. | |
He's talking about the stuff that he doesn't like on social media. | |
You and me, Mr. | |
Curse. I'm sure he'd love to hammer us right out of existence. | |
And he wants to win enough votes to implement change. | |
I guess that means overhaul the First Amendment. | |
Democracies have shown they cannot move fast enough to deal with the challenges we are facing. | |
And these are the guys who accuse Donald Trump of wanting to be a dictator. | |
He says, to me, this is part of what this election is like in the United States. | |
Right. Yes, he wants the election results to allow for the removal of the First Amendment, which stands as a major roadblock to keeping bad information, in his view, off the internet. | |
Now, let's see. How are we doing for time? | |
Oh, we've got a few. Let's see. | |
Oh, boy. I have to move quickly on this story here. | |
It's a saga of Jose Huizar. | |
He was born to a large family in rural Mexico and reared in poverty near the towering high rises of downtown Los Angeles. | |
I wonder if he came legally or illegally. | |
This is not mentioned. | |
He overcame enormous odds, Mr. | |
Kersey, to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, Princeton, and UCLA Law School. | |
Enormous odds. | |
I bet ferocious affirmative action and many scholarships were part of those enormous odds he had to overcome. | |
He came back to his old neighborhood in East L.A. to run for the school board and eventually city council. | |
And he gained control of the committee that approves multi-million dollar commercial development projects across the city. | |
Now, Mr. Kersey, you're a very smart guy. | |
I think you can tell where this story is going. | |
I don't want to think where this story is going, but yeah, I can. | |
FBI agents caught him accepting bribes from Chinese developers. | |
$1.8 million worth of casino chips. | |
That's a lot of casino chips. | |
Luxury hotel stays. | |
A liquor box full of cash and prostitutes. | |
Was that a big box? | |
Small prostitutes? | |
I think there's bad punctuation here. | |
A liquor box full of cash and Prostitutes. | |
In any case, a judge sentenced him to 13 years in the Big House for tax evasion and racketeering. | |
He'll become the third recent L.A. City Council member to go down for corruption, part of a much larger circle of staff aides, fundraisers, political consultants, and real estate developers who've been part of what federal authorities call an extraordinary wave of bribery and influence peddling across California. | |
Two other members of the City Council, Michael Englander, this guy appears to be white, And Mark Ridley Thomas, melanin enhanced, were convicted earlier on corruption charges, as was the former head of the city's Department of Water and Power, a white man, and a fourth city council member named Kern Price, melanin enhanced. | |
They're all facing charges of embezzlement, perjury, conflict of interest. | |
Over the last 10 years, no fewer than 576 public officials in California have been convicted on federal corruption charges. | |
That seems like an awful lot to me. | |
Now, part of the problem is a heavy concentration of power at Los Angeles City Hall. | |
The receding presence of local news media and a Democrat supermajority have helped insulate officeholders. | |
I thought that was really very interesting. | |
You got all this power in City Hall and local news has disappeared so you don't have the spotlight of local guys on them and the Democrat Supermajorative. | |
In March, a jury convicted Raymond Chan, a former L.A. deputy mayor, on racketeering charges. | |
Fifty key political figures and executives in Los Angeles and San Francisco have been convicted since 2019. | |
I'd love to see the racial breakdown, but that is not provided. | |
The Democratic lock on political power leaves little opportunity for Republicans to raise the issue of corruption. | |
When a political party enjoys that much uncontested power, there's no penalty for stepping over ethical and legal lines. | |
Well, fortunately, sometimes the lawmen get you. | |
What happened in Los Angeles is playing out on a smaller scale for years in the industrial cities of Los Angeles County that are described as a corridor of corruption. | |
Southgate, Bell, Linwood, Vernon. | |
San Francisco has had its own corruption cases. | |
Many of the recent ones surrounding the former Department of Public Works Chief Mohammed Nuru. | |
Florence Kong, the owner of a recycling company, pleaded guilty to offering some of the bribes bribes in exchange for city contracts. | |
And Zhang Li, a Chinese developer, was also accused of offering bribes. | |
He signed a deferred prosecution agreement, whatever that means. | |
I guess he got to bugger off back to China. | |
In any case, Mr. | |
Kersey, this is the kind of things we get in lovely, diverse rainbow land of California, Southern California, and San Francisco. | |
This way is where our country's headed. | |
Well, I believe we run out of time, as we always seem to do. | |
And so, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your attention. | |
It is an honor and a joy to spend this time with you, and we look forward to doing the same next week. | |
Thank you so much, and thank you, Mr. |
