Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, and my indispensable co-host I must dispense with today because he's not here, but we expect him back any time.
Today is December 5th, year of our Lord, 2024, and we will begin, as we always do, with comments from listeners.
Now, last week I was commenting on a comment and And a listener had written in to say that he suspected that the increasing participation of women in political decision-making in the United States was part of our degradation, and that was a big contributor to the destruction of any form of white racial consciousness.
And I tended to agree.
I said women are more nurturing, and yes, the more they participated, the worse things were likely to become.
Well, I've had two thoughtful comments on this subject, both from women.
And the first one goes like this.
Women do tend to be more nurturing, myself included, but that doesn't necessarily align with the lack of racial consciousness or backbone.
As you recall, more than half of white women have consistently voted for Trump, the candidate popularly considered mean.
The difference between men and women in that regard is only about 10%.
A difference, but far from a damning one.
I would challenge you or any of your listeners to name the women who proposed and passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Indeed, that was one of the worst things that ever happened in the United States.
Or the women who forced schools to desegregate in the South.
Or the women behind marketing campaigns encouraging race mixing for decades.
Well, those questions have stumped me, I confess.
There may be some women involved, but certainly the vast majority of the people who've been pushing those things are clearly men.
Needless to say, she goes on, these struggles far predate women holding any significant public power.
I hope your listener can put that into perspective.
These kinds of accusations, such as Mr. Hood referring to someone he dislikes as a spiritual woman, Mr. Hood is Gregory Hood who works for American Renaissance, such comments are very alienating for those women who do support the cause of a white America and Europe.
Some of the most ardent defenders of the cause are women.
I don't think we need to get into a contest about whose fault it is.
We know whose fault it is, and those people have names.
As you mentioned, the sexes are a complementary unit, and we should try to stand as one without tearing each other down.
Women can be both compassionate and nurturing and rational.
Another comment from a woman.
Welcome to my show!
It is white men who have not only stopped protecting their territories, they facilitate an invasion of foreign males who then harass, rape, and even kill white females.
The majority in Congress are men.
There has never been a female president.
As for compassion towards criminals, the majority of woke pro-criminal DAs are men.
Alvin Bragg, George Gascon, Larry Krasner, Chesa Boudin.
Instead of playing the blame game and being hostile towards women, leftists, LGBT and all who are not conservative, American Renaissance should concentrate on one issue, and the issue is race.
And this is from someone who describes herself as a white woman, a leftist, a feminist, and a race realist.
Now, I tried to write to her.
There was an email address that came with this message.
It was stkrtk at yahoo.com, but I got a bounce.
And the reason I'm particularly interested in her perspective is that I've never thought that sensible views on race necessarily have to be right-wing or left-wing or conservative or liberal or All sensible people, no matter what their other political positions, really should be able to agree on the subject of race.
And I would love to hear from her, and I would be delighted if she were to write an article for us on her perspective as a woman, leftist, feminist, and race realist.
So, if you are listening, the writer of that comment, please do get in touch with us by contacting us at amren.com Click on the Contact Us tab and you can write a letter and identify yourself and get in touch with me.
We never need know your real name.
Any burner email address is fine.
We understand that in these difficult times, sometimes you have to protect your identity.
Here is another comment.
You are one of the few individuals who pronounce WH, as our educated English forebears did, from the Wikipedia article called Pronunciation of English WH. It says, the merger between W and WH pronunciations, in other words, the disappearance of the distinctions, that seems to have begun in the south of England as early as the 13th century.
It was unacceptable in educated speech until the late 18th century.
In other words, until the late 18th century, it was unacceptable to confuse whale and whale.
But people do it all the time now, and people laugh at my accent, but apparently, up until the 18th century, my way of speaking was considered the right way.
And in any case, I'm not stopping.
Now, I suppose I should point this out during the comments section.
We get hate mail, and we get hate phone calls from time to time, and I suppose we can call them comments, and we got quite a nice crop of them after a local TV program that was broadcast in Tennessee about our conference last month.
It, of course, called us the usual names.
Now, this one that I'm quoting from is interesting for a particular reason.
This is just a portion of it, and it goes like this.
I pray that all of you white trash pieces of etc., etc., etc., etc.
I'm a war veteran.
I hate your kind.
I hate your white trash kind.
I pray that because it's going to etc., etc., but I ain't going to do it.
There are too many upset people here.
Now, I skipped some of the vulgar parts, but what struck me as interesting about this is this person doing all this praying.
This person, who is promising violence in the most vulgar and crude ways, apparently is praying.
That just struck me as unusual, and I thought I would share that particularly piquant bit of hate correspondence.
And again, we do love to hear from our readers.
I'm sorry.
You're our listeners.
I'm so used to having readers and we old folks just can't change usually.
Listeners, we're delighted to hear from listeners.
Please come to amrin.com and hit the Contact Us page and send your remarks.
Love to hear them.
Now here's big news.
Big news.
The Ohio woman charged with killing and eating a cat Pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and was sentenced to one year in jail.
Alexis Farrell is her name.
You know, Farrell means animalian.
A Farrell cat is one with no owner that just sneaks about.
Well, Alexis Farrell was arrested in late August after she killed the animal by stomping its head and then eating the cat.
She did this on the grounds of the Canton Public Housing Complex where she lived.
Farrell has been locked up in the county jail on $100,000 bond since the incident.
Now, Farrell's case received national news coverage after Donald Trump supporters pointed to the incident in light of the President-elect's claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating local cats and dogs.
Yes, this was a big deal.
Well, as it turned out, police responded to a 911 call about Alexis Farrell, and she was found squatting next to the dead feline.
She had blood on her feet and hands and fur on her lips.
Dear me, it sounds to me as though she was eating this cat without cooking it or skinning it.
This sounds really like a mental case.
The pet's owner has not been identified.
Now, Canton, Ohio, is about 175 miles from Springfield, which is where the Haitians are accumulating, and Farrell is not of Haitian descent, and she was born in the United States, so all of this roaring about Haitians eating pets was probably pure baloney.
I always objected to the idea of bringing that up.
Donald Trump should have pointed to verifiable consequences of Haitian immigration, not this dreamed-up incident of Haitians eating cats and dogs.
But it did make this a big deal, and some people in our circle think it was wonderful because it at least got the conversation started.
I disagree.
The conversation should start with facts, not these kind of fantasies.
Well, as for Alexis Farrell, court records show that at the time of her August cat-eating incident, she She was on probation for a 2023 felony conviction for child endangerment.
Her rap sheet includes multiple theft convictions, but it appears that, as the police know, she was a first-time cat-eater.
Now, a story from San Francisco.
This one will warm the cockles of your hearts.
Amid a severe budget crisis, the San Francisco School District Superintendent decided in March that some schools in the poorly performing public system needed to close.
So it paid a Stanford University professor $30,000 to come up with an equity-centered formula to decide which ones to close.
Alarm bells should go off.
An equity-centered formula.
Well, the Stanford professor's DEI-focused closure plan is coming into harsh scrutiny, especially from San Francisco's Asians.
Asian parents were enraged that the closure plan targeted a high-performing elementary school whose students are overwhelmingly low-income and Asian.
The now-paused closure plan Sometimes protests work.
The Asians made a huge stink, and the closure plan is now paused.
Parents said it used a custom formula devised by the Stanford professor that rewarded performing black and Hispanic schools and made high-performing Asian schools primary targets for cutbacks.
At issue was suro-entimentary.
75% Asian, 60% of its students come from low-income families, and half aren't even fluent in English, but the majority of the students consistently meet or outperform state standards, which is pretty unusual for San Francisco public school students.
By contrast, students at Dr. George Washington Carver Elementary repeatedly failed to meet state standards.
Just parenthetically, George Washington Carver, he is one of those really not very remarkable blacks who has been praised to the sky for all sorts of wonderful things that he claimed to have done, which on close examination he did not.
He's often referred to as Dr. George Washington Carver.
He never got a doctorate, but he did get honorary degrees.
He got two honorary degrees, both from black colleges.
But the elementary school is called Dr. George Washington Carver Elementary.
It's 45%, 22% black.
Its students are miserable on scores, but it was not one of the schools scheduled to be closed.
And therefore, typically, black and Hispanic schools scored higher on the Stanford professor's formula, saving them from closure.
The ones on the chopping block were mainly white and Asian.
Now, Francis Pierman is the Stanford professor, and goodness gracious, he turns out to be black.
And according to his website at Stanford, he focuses on anti-black bias and how closing black schools, which he attributes in part to racism, leads to the gentrification of the black metropolis.
And closing those schools is emblematic of a larger spatial and racial reimagining of U.S. cities that dispossesses and displaces blacks.
Well, surely the people who gave him the contract must have seen the webpage, and this must be why they entered into a $30,000 contract with him to, quote, Well, Good for the Asian parents.
They yelled loud enough that this is all put on hold and it's back to the drawing board.
And back in 2022, two years ago, voters, led by angry Asian outspoken parents, ousted three school board members in a recall vote.
One of them, Alison Collins, yet another of our African American fellow citizens, was discovered to have written in social media that Asian Americans used, quote, white supremacist thinking to assimilate and get ahead.
Now, this, I think, is an intriguing observation.
They assimilate and they get ahead by using white supremacist thinking.
Oh, those clever, clever Asians.
Now, how come black people don't do that?
Could they get ahead if they assimilated?
Could they assimilate these white supremacist thinking?
Who knows?
Now, here is a rather disconcerting commentary on the Boy Scouts organization in Britain.
It comes from Matt Goodwin's substack.
Matt Goodwin is a Brit who has a lot of interesting things on his substack.
And he writes as follows.
The Scouting Association of the United Kingdom was established in 1910. Yes, it was a Brit who started the scouting.
Baden-Powell was his name.
And Matt Goodwin writes, The presidents of scouts are none other than the Princess of Wales and the Duke of Kent.
That just goes to show you what kind of high, honorable patronage they have.
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a renegade Scout leader who writes, I am shocked that the Scouts organization is pushing radical gender ideology onto children under the cloak of inclusivity.
It says you can be born in the wrong body.
You can change your gender.
Children should not be coerced into applying use of preferred pronouns.
Goodwin goes on to say, if you send your children to Scouts, there's a strong chance they will be indoctrinated.
Scouting policies instruct leaders to keep secrets from parents, including if a child says he is trans.
And Goodwin actually shows an image of a scouting document that says just that.
If a near scout says he or she is trans, you are not supposed to tell the parents.
You are in on the secret, but mommy and daddy, they shouldn't know.
Another document explains how to help girls who think they're boys wear chest compression binders to flatten their breasts.
Also, the document says trans young people should be able to use the toilets or facilities of the gender they identify as.
The same goes for sleeping arrangements during overnight trips.
What this means is that your daughters could end up sharing toilets, showers, tents, and dorm rooms, and why not sleeping bags with boys?
The Scouts also run a central mission encouraging children to take part in pride-related activities, and this includes recruiting, That's their term.
Children to attend Pride rallies as representatives of the Scouts.
They should wear their uniforms.
They're encouraged to check out the online Pride shop that sells items such as Scout Pride scarves, trans flag knickers.
Those are things that go around your neck.
Pansexual flag badges, Pride ally pins, as well as pronoun badges.
Goodwin included a nice photo of a pink scouting kerchief with a scout logo on it.
I had never seen such a thing, but there you go.
I guess that's a scout pride scarf.
And then there is a gender identity guidance document.
Leaders are encouraged to be aware of the pronouns children may use, including ze, zur, zem, thee, them, this, ear, erm, hear, see, and others.
It'd be hard to keep all that straight.
The entire premise is to, quote, teach children how to use preferred pronouns, and there is a game in which there is a character called Billy, the non-binary butterfly, and children are told this means they aren't a boy or a girl.
I guess that's right.
The non-binary butterfly.
Now, this is a game for eight-year-olds.
As a rule, instead of calling their brothers and sisters brothers and sisters, they're encouraged to say sibling, because you never know.
They might be neither a brother nor a sister.
And instead of saying mom and dad, they're supposed to say parent.
And there is an activity called Make Prince for Pride, and children are told to draw pride flags, to hang up on the walls, and to decorate rocks with messages of solidarity.
Including, proud to be a pride ally.
Yep, children just think.
That's kind of where they can spend their time decorating rocks with multicolored flags and then signs that say, proud to be a pride ally.
Children are told that everyone gets to decide their gender identity for themselves.
You may identify as a girl or a boy.
If you don't feel like a boy or a girl, you might identify as agender, genderqueer, non-binary, or just as a person.
Now, this to me is the very best.
Genitals don't equate gender.
Genitals and body don't actually reflect anything.
Now that pretty much takes the cake, if you ask me, or perhaps I should say takes the fruitcake.
Now, New York City is doing the Scouts one better, it seems to me, or they're just going off in a different equally cuckoo direction.
New York City debuts the nation's first K-12 Black Studies curriculum.
That's right.
From kindergarten through your senior year in high school, you can have nothing but Black Studies.
Immerse yourself in melanin for all of those years.
The curriculum exposes young people year-round to the stories, lived experiences, and contributions of black people from across the world.
For the first time, students are seeing themselves and their perspective of the world in the material.
It is blackity-black-black.
After three years of development, the guides and reading lists of what are called Black Studies as the Study of the World are now available as a public resource, attended to be a model for schools nationwide.
I think the title of the course is significant, Black Studies as the Study of the World.
The implication here, of course, is all you need to know is black stuff, and now you have studied the world.
Nobody would even pretend that all you need to do is study Europe and you understand the world.
But here, black studies, that is the study of the world.
Research has long shown students perform better when they feel their experiences are acknowledged in the classroom.
I guess that's why little Asian children in America do better than either whites or blacks, because their experience must be acknowledged year-round in all their classes.
There's one school in New York City that already teaches this wonderful Black Immersion curriculum.
It adopts monthly themes such as Black Joy and Liberation.
Boy, I wonder what that's like, Black Joy and Liberation.
It introduces elementary school students to jazz, gospel choir, and African drumming.
Well, you know that, you know the world.
It's something I wish I had as a kid, said assistant principal Daniel Calvert, who from his photograph is clearly African American.
I wish I had the tools and the license as a teacher to figure out how to apply things that matter to me as an educator and as a person into my teaching.
It's all got to matter to them.
I mean, this is the crazy thing about it.
The idea is nothing is worth knowing unless it's about black people.
This is such a narrow perspective.
I think this is almost like child abuse teaching these people stuff.
Then he goes on to say, Black studies is allowing our children to find joy in their learning and in themselves.
Boy, oh boy.
It's just going to be miserable if they don't always learn and study about black people.
Now, So, all the Hispanics, they can go K-12.
And all they ever learn about is Jose and Jesus and Maria.
This is practically child abuse.
And then they're supposed to be turned loose in the American job market.
They're expected to perform in a society that really doesn't care about blackity, black, black, and Hispanic, Hispanic, Hispanic.
Be that as it may, off they go.
Nothing seems to daunt them.
Now, immigrants are having a tough time, it seems, because President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20th.
That could leave thousands of migrants or infiltrators or invaders, as we might more accurately call them, like Nidia Montenegro in limbo, and facing the choice of trying to cross into the U.S. illegally, staying in Mexico, or going home.
Montenegro says she would return home, more fearful of the violence of traveling through Mexico than the hardships she left behind in Venezuela.
Venezuela is supposed to be a pretty wretched place, and if she would rather go back to Venezuela than be traveling through Mexico, that says something too.
A dozen migrants interviewed in Mexico by Reuters said they would prefer to go home despite poverty, lack of employment, insecurity and political crisis.
Montenegro said she was kidnapped along with two nephews and dozens of others, including children, on the day they crossed into southern Mexico from Guatemala two months ago.
But two days later, they managed to escape.
Now she lives in a shelter in the southern state of Chiapas, fearing criminals in the area will kidnap her again.
It sounds pretty awful.
I wish her story and those like her were broadcast loudly and clearly to the countries from which these people are trying to come.
Now Chiapas is still, I think, at least 1,500 miles from the American border.
So she's got a long way to go.
The Mexican government also tries to slow the arrival of migrants to the U.S. border by busing and flying non-Mexican migrants to the country's south.
And this adds to the risk.
Another Venezuelan migrant who fears staying in Mexico says this, I cry every day and ask God to take me back.
I don't want to be here anymore.
This is horrible.
Through tears, she said she'd been the victim of violence.
But declined to give details.
Again, these are the sorts of stories that people in Venezuela and wherever they're coming from need to hear.
A spokesman for the Venezuelan Embassy in Mexico City says, There are serious calamity cases like kidnappings, sexual exploitation, a myriad of issues, and some of our citizens want to return immediately.
Yes, please broadcast these stories to all countries south of the border.
Now, it appears that the election of Donald Trump has led to inflation in the coyote business, or at least a sudden packing on of profits while the business is still functioning.
Human smugglers in Mexico raised their rates to send migrants across the border into the United States.
Among the reasons is the outcome of the recent presidential election.
Migrants seeking refuge at a charity shelter in Sonora, Mexico told the staff that the smuggling fee has doubled.
The basic cost for being guided across the border has risen from $5,000 to a minimum of $10,000.
Due to greater difficulty in crossing and the recent election of Donald Trump.
It sounds to me as though, well, maybe it is harder, but I think they realize that their business is going to shrivel up.
And so they are going to make a while the sun shines.
And in this case, it's while Joe Biden makes his face to shine upon them.
While they still have a chance of getting their cargo across the border, they are going to make money while they can.
Now, this is a sentence that intrigued me and didn't quite understand.
Smugglers can charge significantly higher fees for additional services, such as using vehicles to cross private property in Mexico, traverse the state of Sonora, and reach the Arizona border.
This sounds like a special taxi service.
These fees, though, can range from $15,000 to $20,000, as opposed to the usual $10,000.
migrants from China have been known to pay some of the highest fees of all to reach the United States.
They report paying up to $55,000 each to be smuggled from China to the United States.
The longer the trip, the higher the tariff.
Now, it has always struck me as really rather remarkable that these people who are fleeing misery, poverty, climate change, whatever it is, they can scrape together $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $55,000 to come to the United States?
I mean, how many Americans can just reach into the kitty and come up with $10,000 to take a trip to go anywhere?
So these people are not scraping, scraping, scraping by.
They've got money in the bank, but they want to come.
Now, here is a story about affirmative action in music.
Now, preferences, of course, started with race, but they just seem to be creeping into every other area of life.
This is the Leeds International Piano Competition in England.
It has taken steps to give women a greater chance at winning.
Juries of the competition who vote on the outcome of each round, it's kind of an elimination tournament, they have been instructed to consider advancing female competitors over their male counterparts in the event of a tie.
If there's a tie, the woman gets the knot.
They've also been told that there must be a revote In certain stages of the competition, where there is a single-sex outcome.
In other words, if all the people get to move on are men, or if the outcome significantly reduces the ratio of women to men.
So I guess we've got ten competitors, and seven of the people who get the lot are men.
That significantly reduces the ratio of women.
Gotta rethink that.
Gotta revote that.
This shake-up comes after CEO of the competition, Fiona Sinclair, that is a lady, no doubt, announced earlier this year that organizers were compelled to confront the apparent gender disparity in the event, which last year saw an all-male final round.
Well, that was just excruciating.
Announcing the new measures in February, the Leeds International Piano Competition said it would tackle the long-standing issue of male dominance in the piano world.
Why is that a problem?
Maybe they're better piano players.
Jurors this year have been required to take part in anti-bias training to promote a more equal environment for all competitors.
What idiocy?
An anti-biased trainee is supposed to promote a more equal environment?
Well, they're clearly trying to promote an unequal environment.
The winner of this competition gets £30,000 sterling, as well as a debut recording with Warner Classics, a management deal with a very high-profile music management company, and a number of international touring opportunities.
So it's worth winning.
But you can't have nothing but men winning the competition.
Out of this year's six finalists, three were Asian and two were white.
Now, I suppose this is not a problem.
Three Asians, two whites.
Well, where are the Africans?
Where are the Muslims?
You know, got to move them along.
The winner was someone by the name of Jiden Izzik Dzurko.
Now, he lives in Canada, and I saw a photograph of him.
He looks white, and he is apparently of Jewish-Slavic origin.
So I suppose he counts as white for the Leeds competition, and he's a guy, in any case, who is a man, and I'm sure they struggled mightily with the consequence of having a man win the competition, but there you go.
Talent probably prevailed.
Now, here is a story, and I will tell you at the end of it why I think it is worthy of including in this week's podcast.
A Massachusetts man has been convicted of assault after he attacked a woman because she didn't say good morning to him.
Ian Atkinson, age 34, savagely beat the 59-year-old woman as she was watering the plants in her garden and Atkinson, at the time of the attack, was still wearing an ankle monitor for a previous offense.
The attack, launched entirely unprovoked by Atkinson, began when he said to her, when people say good morning to you, you should say hi, you crazy bitch.
And then there are harrowing video clips showing Atkinson exiting his black Mercedes, a black Mercedes, this guy was driving, stomping over the woman before unleashing a hail of blows.
The first punch lands with a sickening thud, silencing the woman who had been singing.
Here she is in her water, in her garden, watering plants, singing to herself, and this guy marches up And Slug's additional surveillance footage shows another angle of the horrific attack as well as Atkinson trying to mow down the victim in his car.
She was left with a broken nose, severe bruising to her head and face, and burst blood vessel in her eye.
The police arrived at her home around 9 a.m., by the way, this is in the morning, and found her bleeding profusely.
The news story does not say whether he managed to hit her with his car.
I guess not.
But boy, he really wrecked this poor woman.
Atkinson did not know his victim.
He was very quickly sentenced to two years in jail, followed by another two years on probation.
He has previous convictions for drugs and assault.
He is, despite his name, of Ian Atkinson, one of our dusky brethren.
Now, why do I tell you this story?
My criteria for including stories of this kind is to tell myself, well, can I imagine a white person doing something like this?
Well, with sufficient imagination, I guess you can imagine anything, but this...
It's an unusual human of any kind, but it's just so hard for me to imagine a white person behaving this way that I think it's worth talking about just as an example of negritude.
Now, the other question that's raised is, what do you do with somebody like this?
Is two years in the pokey and two years probation, is that enough for something like this?
Where do you start?
How does a society deal with human beings who behave in this way?
And we seem to have more and more of them all the time.
I think at some level you have to begin right at the beginning.
And you have to somehow discourage the mothers and the fathers of people like this from having children.
This guy is probably someone who simply cannot be salvaged.
He is bad, damaged goods from the start.
What do you do with a guy like that?
It's a terrible problem.
Now, here is an interesting story on how to promote diversity and who does it.
A New York City employee of Mayor Eric Adams, the black mayor of New York City, has sparked outrage.
After she was allowed to keep her job of promoting diversity, despite being videoed ripping Israeli hostage posters down and assaulting the person who was taking the video.
This black lady is Nala Sutherland.
She is a special event coordinator for the Mayor's Office of Special Projects and Community Events.
And she was tearing off the post from a lamppost and she threw it in the trash.
And these, of course, are those posters that are trying to be part of a public campaign to raise awareness of the hostages that were taken captive by Hamas last October.
Well, somebody comes up to her and says, why are you doing this?
Taking video with her cell phone camera.
Southern grabs the witness's cell phone and off she goes.
Well, apparently, the witness got the cell phone back, at least got the video back.
Now, this woman...
Nala Sutherland.
She began working for Mayor Eric Adams last year, and she helps plan celebrations hosted at Gracie Mansion, that's where the mayor lives, and at other sites to honor the city's many diverse ethnic groups.
She's part of a team that works to bridge cultural divides.
Wow.
It's her job to bridge cultural divides.
Well, doesn't sound as much...
She was sort of a bridge wrecker on that day, it seems to me.
Well, how was she handled?
She was given a disciplinary note in her work file and was required to take multicultural training.
Multicultural training.
I don't think it'll do any good.
Ordinarily, multicultural training is laid on by, often by black people, and their message is all very clear.
Diversity and inclusion and tolerance, all that is is gimme, gimme, gimme for blacks and maybe for Hispanics.
So I don't think it's going to help to give her multicultural training of the usual kind.
The whole...
It was brought home to me in the most remarkable way what diversity and inclusion mean to blacks.
When the Kappa Alpha Order, that is a college fraternity, it was originally based on a very southern theme.
Robert E. Lee is considered its spiritual founder.
They used to have Confederate balls.
But, of course, it has since displayed, it's banned the display of Confederate flags.
It's gone wokity-woke-woke.
And in 2010, it prohibited all of its members from wearing Confederate uniforms at events, and effectively it shut down the Old South Ball that the Kappa Alpha Order used to have on college campuses.
And I very well remember a news item about Auburn University in Alabama.
When the ban came through, a reporter interviewed the head of the Black Student Union and she said, that'll teach them to value tolerance and diversity.
No sense of irony, of course.
For her, tolerance is intolerance.
Diversity is no diversity at all.
Tolerance and diversity is me, me, me.
Us, us, us.
Gimme, gimme, gimme.
It's all for us.
That's what those words mean.
Now, the fight against Donald Trump can take many forms.
And some of the people leading the fight are landlords in Washington, D.C. Some of them have called for an Airbnb blackout to block Republicans from attending Donald Trump's inauguration.
Well, isn't that charming?
A white lady by the name of Stacey Kane has launched a petition.
She is a school director, whatever that is, and she and two of her friends have circulated email among community groups and city councilors in order to show Trump supporters who are coming that we do not welcome hate, misogyny, or intentions to take over Washington, D.C. So these people have Airbnb properties, and the idea is they're just going to take them off the market during the inauguration.
So all of those Trump supporters can sleep under bridges, or they can share the tents with all the layabouts and bums who are camped out all over D.C. Maybe they can just bring their own tents.
The initiative stems from a wish to try to make any kind of difference that we can in the situation we find ourselves in as D.C. residents and just as human beings right now.
All these people, just as human beings, they are going to make it as hard as possible for other human beings to come stay in the nation's capital.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to come to the nation's capital in January.
Either to attend the inauguration ceremony or to protest the election of Donald Trump.
How will these Airbnb people be able to tell them apart?
Won't the people who've come to protest Donald Trump, don't they need lodging too?
Well, I don't know.
Thousands of Republican voters are expected to flood in to celebrate the present-elect being sworn in in a city where 92% of the voters voted for Kamala.
So that does make for an amusing and potentially pretty fizzy mix.
Now, Ms. Kane, who has started this petition, she removed her apartment from Airbnb's website for the dates of the inauguration.
And she plans to give the space away to people taking part in the protest march that precedes it.
50,000 demonstrators are supposed to take part in a people's march.
On January 18th.
So I guess that's part of the idea.
If you're there for the People's March on January 18th, then let Airbnb go.
Let it flow.
Let it be available.
But if people are coming, I think it's January 20th, I suppose, a couple of days afterwards, then you shut down Airbnb and no dice for these haters, misogynists, and people who intend to take over D.C., according to Ms. Kane.
Democrats who booked their stays for the inauguration in advance, Democrats, they're now left scrambling for refunds.
Poor Melissa Adams apparently paid $5,000 up front for a 10-night stay in a Georgetown hotel.
That's $500 a night.
For a 10-night stay in a Georgetown hotel, but she has been unable to cancel her booking, poor Ms. Adams.
I really wanted to take my daughter to see the first woman's inauguration, she said.
Well, I'm not sure why the Georgetown hotel can't let her cancel her reservation.
I would think somebody wants to take his son to see Donald Trump be inaugurated, but apparently Melissa Adams is still on the hook for $5,000.
For a stay she no longer wants.
Now, as far as the election is concerned, in some circles the fight goes on.
Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign is still sending several email messages a day pleading for money.
The email uses a variety of tactics to rake in the donations, ranging from shaming supporters for allegedly emboldening President-elect Donald Trump to claiming the money will be used for recounts, even though control of the White House and Congress has already been called.
Harris's deluge of fundraising email comes amid news that her campaign managed to spend $1.5 billion in just over 15 weeks, and that it ended the election with at least $20 million in debt.
Now, it is true the DNC could pay for recount efforts in support of Democrat federal candidates, but the DNC is by no means required to spend that money that way.
The Harris Fight Fund can raise all sorts of money, and if Harris ends up with a surplus after she's paid off the $20 million in debt, she could use it to finance a 2028 presidential campaign.
Now, Kamala Harris, believe it or not, is reportedly telling allies she is considering another run.
Well, Kamala, baby, I think that's a bad idea.
And I don't think you're going to get much in the way of backing.
And I think your backers are not going to be very keen on backing you if you are still milking them for money long after you have lost.
As it turns out, they spent $1.8 billion.
Well, no, I'm sorry.
Her campaign spent $1.5 billion trying to win the election.
And if you look into some of the details, some of the ways in which she spent that money, and it works out to $100 million a week, $100 million a week.
The fact is, if you're splashing out that kind of money, chances are a lot of it is going to slop off into rather useless projects.
But the campaign spent $1 million They shoveled it into Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions for Harris' splashy town hall event with Oprah Winfrey.
A million dollars just for this one event.
Then, there were $10 million spent for a series of Gen X baiting conferences with the likes of John Bon Jovi.
I'm sorry, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know who John Bon Jovi is, but I guess if male or female, that is real Gen X bait.
But Harris ended up losing Gen X in this campaign.
Also, now this is really quite scandalous, it seems to me.
Her campaign handed over half a million dollars to the Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network before she sat down with him for a face-to-face interview.
Half a million dollars!
Did that guarantee softball questions?
She was, of course, going to get softball questions anyway.
But after she's butted up Reverend Al with $500,000, she knew she was just going to get fat pitches right across the plate.
But she's so incompetent she couldn't even swing them out of the ballpark.
Not only that, she paid another black news personality, Roland Martin.
I've met Roland Martin, by the way.
He is about as blackety-black as they come.
Very militant, very anti-white.
And he's the guy who is alleged to have helped leak town hall questions to Hillary Clinton's side in 2016. One of these really play-by-the-rule kinds of African Americans.
She slipped him $350,000 via his New Vision media network.
Ahead of his interview of her.
This really stinks.
I mean, they can accuse Donald Trump of all kinds of shenanigans, and some of them are correct, but I don't think he pays people for interviews.
I guess that's not strictly speaking paying them, but it looks awfully bad, doesn't it?
Money makes a difference in campaigns, but it can't make up for having no real message, and for a candidate with zero credibility, and worse yet, again, for the Democrat Party's future, and of course for Congress' future.
I think this would have taught donors to think twice before giving money to an apparatus that burns through cash at $100 million a week and spends it on stuff like that.
And again, I'm really quite astonished that there is anybody who is encouraging Kamala to run again.
I think she's just going to fade away.
She's got no elected office.
What's she going to do for the next four years?
Is she going to teach at a community college someplace?
Is she going to teach black history?
Is she going to pal around with the sisters and be on talk shows?
I think she's pretty much finished.
She and Mr. Emhoff will just ride off into the sunset.
This is a disconcerting story, I must say.
It's a story out of Sweden, which has certainly changed from the days when it used to be a Scandinavian paradise for Scandinavian white people.
Fernando is the handle that a 14-year-old teenage assassin uses.
And a media company caught up with him.
He was playing a video game in his youth club.
He apparently goes to a youth club, this 14-year-old Fernando.
When orders arrived for him by text message, he was among dozens of child contract killers in Sweden, recruited by gang middlemen on social media who pay as much as 150,000 kroner, or that's maybe something like about $14,000 per hit job.
That's not bad for an afternoon's work.
$14,000.
The number of murder cases involving child suspects in Sweden, which has the highest per capita rate of gun violence in the EU, rose from 31 counts in the first eight months of last year to 102 in the same period.
So this year, first eight months of 2024, you've got 102 children suspects in gang-related hits.
And they are, of course, essentially all immigrants.
You don't find blonde and blue-eyed child hitmen in Sweden.
One recent case involved a boy just 11 years old.
And due to a quirk of...
Swedish law.
This was the sort of thing that they had back in the days when Sweden was full of Swedes.
Those aged under 15 are too young to be prosecuted.
I guess they just did not have 14 or 13 or 11-year-old killers back in those days, but they do now, and they still got the old laws that were passed for white people.
And as it happens, social media has played a major role in this crime surge, with gang handlers posting contracts on online message boards.
Now, I don't understand how they can get away with that.
These things can be decrypted.
You should be able to find out who has been posting these messages.
As one policeman says, it's not like before when they used encrypted phones on a closed network.
Now you can take a gang job on Snapchat.
Again, I don't see how you can get away with that, but the Swedes must be slowpokes in that department.
The current wave of gang violence is being fueled by a power struggle between Foxtrot, one of Sweden's largest organized crime networks, and its rival Dalen faction.
Both deal in narcotics and are responsible for hundreds of shootings and bombings.
Both are run by foreigners.
Smaller gangs have also joined the fray with as many as 50 factions operating in Stockholm alone.
50 different drug-running operations in Stockholm?
Wow.
Boy, it makes New York sound like a picnic.
Swedish police chiefs say they have been deeply disturbed by the young age of the contract killers and the lack of emotion they display when taken into custody.
Some of them are calm.
They don't cry.
They say nothing or no comment.
They are totally lacking in empathy, says a detective.
Many of these killers arrived in Sweden as young children during the 2015 refugee crisis.
Remember 2015?
All of these so-called Syrians, all of these poor bedraggled people, escaping to freedom to Europe, 2015. Germany alone let in one and a half million of these foreigners.
Now, Evan Setten, that is a lady, she is the author of a book on youth gangs and a former Swedish lawyer.
She says the drugs trade, along with urban poverty and a deep sense of alienation in some of the migrant and refugee communities, fuels the problem.
Well, that must be it.
She says the Swedish authorities opened up the borders and welcomed a lot of refugees, but they didn't open up the society.
Well, how do you open up the society?
How do you make Swedes want to live with people who behave like that?
She says they were put in areas where 99% of the people living there had a foreign background.
Well, were they put in there?
I mean, couldn't they have moved?
I mean, gosh, it's all Sweden's fault, according to Evan Setten.
This is the way white people behave.
You know, they generously open up their societies to people who are utterly unassimilable, and when these unassimilables misbehave, then it's Sweden's fault.
Yep, yep, yep.
One of these people asked her, I don't care about my own life, so why should I care about the lives of others?
Okay, that's Sweden's fault, I guess.
Now, there's something in Sweden called Freishuset, Frozen House.
And that is a school that originally was set up to help reform neo-Nazi teenagers.
But its focus has shifted to children at risk of being groomed by gangs like Foxtrot.
The severity of the criminal behavior and the callousness of those involved is worse than it used to be.
And the age is going down, says a staff member.
And what do they need?
They need more support for the government because they are overwhelmed by gang-related cases.
Here, yes, again, it's not their fault.
It's not the fault of their parents.
It's not the fault of the religion they profess to believe.
It's the fault of Swedish society.
We just did not do enough for these people.
Now, you'll be happy to know we have found a prodigy among us, a real prodigy.
A 19-year-old Chicago man is charged with committing eight armed robberies within a single hour, while he was on electronic monitoring for six other felonies, including four more robberies.
Did I say a prodigy?
I meant it.
A prodigy.
Marcel Hale, age 19, and one of our dusky brethren, displayed a firearm to rob men whose ages range from 23 to 74, according to prosecutors.
And according to the detention petition, he did it while wearing an electric monitoring bracelet for juvenile court supervision in six cases.
Including four armed robberies.
So he's already in the pokey for four armed robberies.
He's out with an electronic monitoring device, and he manages to commit eight within a single hour.
Now, what do you do with somebody like this?
Really, what do you do?
What do you do with somebody like this?
We're just talking about these Swedish kids.
They're committing murder at age 11, age 14. I don't know.
Usually the rule seems to be you treat them with lenience.
But it seems to me if at that age they're behaving that way, these are black sheep that cannot be turned to any other color.
I don't know what they ought to be treated more harshly.
And I really do believe that the death sentence, the death penalty should be brought back for a lot of crimes and for it to be effective, the death penalty has to be applied very soon after the crime.
When you hear about an execution in the United States, usually it's been, what, 15 years?
20 years since the actual crime.
Somebody's been languishing on death row while the ACLU and every other do-good operation has been filing petition after petition to get them off the hook.
Then they finally go to old Sparky when nobody goes to old Sparky anymore.
Or they have a terrible time getting the drugs used for lethal injection because the drug companies say, no, no, no, no, you can't use this stuff for human beings.
I don't know why they don't use just the chemicals that are available at vet clinics for putting down ailing dogs and cats and maybe horses.
But in any case, the death penalty has got to come back for a lot of crimes and it has got to be instituted quickly so that it's very clear in people's minds, you do a certain kind of crime and you're going to be dead.
I think that is really the only way to stop this stuff.
Now, the New York Post is ordinarily a pretty sensible newspaper, but It wrote an editorial the other day that really struck me as pretty cuckoo.
And the headline was this.
Trump won big with black men.
Now he must convince them to become better fathers.
Oof.
Boy, that sets off about 50 question marks in my mind.
But this is the way the editorial runs.
Donald Trump scored record numbers of African-American votes.
Some 21% of African American men voted for Trump, with nearly one-third of black men under 45. Harris still managed to win the majority.
The black vote included 91% of women, but black men clearly cared less about Harris' celebrity-filled rallies and patronizing pleas from the Obamas and more about the economy and inflation.
Well, okay, maybe that's what they cared about.
Having scored historic levels of black men and their confidence, Trump is positioned to tackle the most serious and unspoken crisis among African Americans, the lack of black fathers.
Yeah.
Despite his own dubious family history, well, yes, only a leader as impervious to scrutiny as Trump has the chutzpah to devise a solution.
Here is perhaps no greater taboo among progressives than pointing out the dismal numbers of married black parents.
Barely 30% of African Americans are wed, the lowest rate of any racial group.
More worrisome, study after study reveals that almost half of all black women have children from multiple fathers.
Multiple fathers, the highest number of any race.
This is an epidemic erased from popular discourse by progressive culture makers.
Any mention of accountability or consequence around black fatherhood is immediately squouched with lectures of structural racism and white supremacy.
That is all true.
However, entrusted with their votes and approval, Donald Trump is uniquely and unimaginably well positioned to encourage black men to look after their families.
Boy, oh boy.
Come on, New York Post.
He's a busy guy.
It's his idea, it's his job to tell black men to look after their families.
Post goes on to say, New York, black abortion rates are so high that in some years in New York City, there were more terminated pregnancies for black women than live births.
What's that got to do with black fatherhood?
In any case, this is a, I mean, it would be great if Donald Trump would say, hey, fellas, man up, you know, be fathers, be fathers.
Don't out there being players and shooters and gamblers and And pimps?
No, be fathers.
Anyway, keep dreaming, New York Post.
I don't think Donald Trump is going to do that.
I mean, I suppose it'd be nice if he would, but could he really persuade black people to stop impregnating all these women?
Could he stop these women from having children with more than one father?
I don't think so.
But, you know, keep dreaming your post.
And it is always good to call attention to the failures of blacks that can be pinned on them without trying to blame it all on white supremacy.
But I think that this is pie-in-the-sky thinking.
Well, my pie-in-the-sky thinking must come to an end because my time has run out.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, for the time that we've spent together.
It is an honor and a privilege, and I look forward to spending this time with you again next week.
