Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, with American Renaissance.
Today is December 12th, Anno Domini 2024, and as usual, we will begin with comments from our dear listeners.
The first commenter writes this, I have often lamented that our deportation laws have no teeth.
While living in Mexico, I met a man who has been deported back to Mexico many times.
It's a half-paid vacation home for him to visit his family.
And then it's off again to jump the border back into the U.S. What if we entered into an agreement with, for example, Haiti to ship all our illegals there?
We could give the government of Haiti, if there ever were one, $5,000 per head to take them.
Let the illegals figure out for themselves what they would do after that.
I think the man I knew in Mexico would be far less likely to hop the border if he knew that he might end up in Haiti.
Yeah, it's a dream, says our listener, since the Constitution protects against cruel and unusual punishment.
Yes, I'm afraid being sent to Haiti would be cruel and unusual, as we will find out a little later on in one of the stories that I'm going to bring up later.
But, says our listener, it is a pleasant dream.
Another comment, and this has to do with the discussion that I've been having with various listeners about the impact of women on the political direction of the United States.
Some people have been taking a pretty harsh attitude towards women.
A number of women have written in to say that women can certainly not be blamed for some of the worst things that have happened, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Immigration Act of 1965, and, This will probably be the last comment on the subject, but a man writes in to say, I will say that it is factually correct women have driven our society in a leftist and more anti-white direction.
This, of course, does not mean we should exclude women from our movement, nor are we against women's rights.
On the contrary, women must be part of our movement.
I certainly agree with that.
And here's a comment.
I recently listened to your comments about Boy Scouts of America having pride and keeping trans identity secret from their parents.
Pride in the sense of pride meaning homosexual.
Now, I suppose I should have made it more clear, but I was talking about Boy Scouts of Britain.
This was from a fellow who had inside dope on what the Boy Scouts in Britain were doing.
I thought I had made it clear, but I guess I was not sufficiently clear.
but this person is writing about Boy Scouts of America.
He says, I am an assistant scoutmaster in my Boy Scout troop.
It's the same troop I bridged over and eagled from.
My troop is still conservative and is against these ideologies that the Nationwide Council is pushing on us.
Many think that BSA, Boy Scouts of America, has become destroyed.
I want people to know that there are still some troops that haven't submitted to these leftist ideals.
While we are a major minority within the Council, we do exist.
Well, I'm very delighted to hear that.
I know many people are very nostalgic for the Boy Scouts of their boyhood, and I'm very pleased to know that some have maintained a certain imperviousness to the poisons that people are trying to pump into the Boy Scouts.
So, thank you very much for those comments, and I love to get comments from our listeners.
And the way to reach me is to go to the AMRAN website.
That's amren.com.
And there is a Contact Us tab, and if you hit on that, you can send your questions or comments to me.
I especially appreciate it when you write in to write about some kind of mistake I may have made.
There is so much misinformation out there.
I hate unintentionally to be adding to the fog of all that rubbish that fills the airways and the internet.
Well, I suppose the first and most significant story is one that I have covered in considerable detail in a video that was just posted on the Amran site yesterday.
And that is the verdict in the Daniel Penny case.
I urge you to take a look at that video or read the transcript that I always post with the videos.
This is a very heartening development.
The jury, despite all of the kinds of intimidation that jurors get in a racially charged case, they acquitted Daniel Penny, and he is now a free man after about a year and a half of real misery.
So congratulations to Daniel Penny.
Congratulations to the jury, a New York City jury, that thumbed its nose at the head table and set this man free.
Now, I think that this reflects a change in the racial temperature, so to speak, of the United States.
This is something I've been following diligently for the last 30, 35 years.
And, of course, we went completely mad beginning May 25th, I believe it was, 2020, when George Floyd ascended into heaven.
And we really fell off the cliff in the worst possible way, and people, whites who were involved in some kind of contretemps with a black, and went on trial, they got terrible, terrible justice.
Certainly, Derek Chauvin, who used an accepted police technique to restrain George Floyd, who had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, that guy ended up with a life sentence, hardly deserved it.
He probably deserved, if anything, a literal reprimand in his file.
But this was a railroad job.
And I think even worse was the case of the three men who were involved in what was called the jogger case, Ahmed Arbery.
Some of you will recall those guys.
All three of them, all three of them are in the pokey for the rest of their lives.
Maybe as a certain amount of sanity returns to the United States, perhaps there will be a review of their sentences.
But those were convictions under state law, and Donald Trump is probably not in a position to help them except from his capacity to bellow from the bully pulpit, which I hope he will do, but which I fear he will not.
Well, our first story, it is about Haiti.
I warned you this was coming up.
This is really a gruesome story.
The BBC reports that at least 110 mostly elderly people have been brutally murdered by gang members.
Brutally murdered.
I don't understand why people always use that adjective.
Brutally murdered.
You mean they weren't sweetly and gently put to death as we would ordinarily expect from killers?
Well, in any case, they were brutally murdered, mind you, in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.
A local gang leader had targeted them after his son fell ill and subsequently died.
This gang leader reportedly consulted a voodoo priest who said the fault was elderly locals who practice witchcraft, and they account for the boy's mystery illness.
Well, I guess he swallowed that line.
And while details of the massacre still emerging, the UN's human rights chief put the number of people killed over the weekend at 184. What happened is, members of this guy's gang seized scores of residents aged over 60 from their homes.
In the Wharf Jeremy area, rounded them up and then shot them or stabbed them to death with knives and machetes.
Residents reported seeing mutilated bodies being burned in the streets.
All the intended victims were over 60, but some younger people who tried to protect the elderly were also killed.
The idea, as I say, is that these old folks were thought to be practitioners of voodoo.
I thought basically everybody in Haiti thought voodoo was okay.
They were singled out because the gang leader was convinced that his son's illness, his cherished darling son who died mysteriously, has had been caused by these elderly voodoo practitioners.
The gang boss is known as Meccano, and he controls the Wharf-Jérémie area.
It's a strategic area near the port of the capital.
It is a small area, says the BBC, but the security forces have a hard time getting into it.
The BBC doesn't explain why.
I think it's probably because there are essentially no security forces.
BBC tells us there was a decline in the murder rate between May and September this year after rival gangs had reached an uneasy truce.
But attempts by the gangs to expand their territory beyond their strongholds in the capital have led to especially bloody incidents the past two months with ordinary residents rather than rival gang members.
These are the ones who are being killed now.
And on October 3rd, 115 locals were killed in the small town of Pont-Sonde.
That massacre was reportedly carried out by a gang known as Grand Grief.
Grief is the French word for claw, the big claw.
Sounds like a pretty accurate name for people who run around with machetes and other forms of metallic claw.
This massacre of 115 people was in retaliation for some residents joining a group to resist attempts by grand grief, the great claw, to extort locals.
Now, let us imagine living in a country where, unbeknownst to you, some local strongman has been convinced that because you practice a particular religion, and I'm using religion broadly, maybe we should say practice a particular practice, decides that you're to blame because his darling child died, and you get hauled out of your street and hauled out of your house and killed, your body left in the street.
This is really quite a horrifying way to live, and it's not surprising that people want to leave that country.
And then what do you do?
I'm a little bit concerned.
One estimate is 184 people dead in the streets in this small area of Port-au-Prince who cleans up the mess.
That's quite a job, cleaning up 184 cadavers.
But that's life.
That's life in Haiti these days.
Wow.
Now, one person who was reporting, the press says, Not quite sure what that means.
They corral them someplace, or they just show up for days and weeks.
Many women get pregnant, but Haiti, this is a surprise to me, has a total ban on abortion.
Even, I suppose, if abortion were legal, the health system has fallen into complete disrepair, and I don't think probably abortion is high on the list of those few people who are still practicing medicine in Haiti.
Haitian women and girls facing poverty resort to unsafe abortions, which are the third leading cause of maternal mortality.
What a nightmare.
And according to the World Bank, 64% of Haiti's population of 11.7 million people live on less than $3.65 a day.
Now, I'm guessing that that is something to do with the way GDP is calculated in Haiti.
I don't think they really live on the equivalent of $3.65 a day.
Probably.
A lot of people grow a certain amount of food or raise pigs or whatever it is.
But as far as the monetary economy is concerned, they don't have more than $3.65 a day.
Pretty miserable and in constant fear of being raped or slaughtered by who knows what.
Doctors Without Borders, which has provided free emergency medical care in Port-au-Prince, the capital, for over 30 years, suspended its activities on November 20. Now, why did it do that?
Because of attacks on its staff and, furthermore, death threats and rape threats against Doctors Without Borders staff.
Rape threats?
I wonder if they have any women staffers.
I assume that they probably don't have any European or white women there, but maybe they have local women.
Now, these threats, according to the BBC, came from members of the Haitian National Police.
Why on earth would the Haitian National Police, who are utterly ineffective, it appears, in most parts of the country and in the capital, why would they be threatening Doctors Without Borders?
It's because, according to them, they treat anybody who needs care.
And the national police are saying, well, you've treated some of these gangsters and murderers and bad guys, and apparently that is the way that Doctors Without Borders operates.
They will treat anybody who needs treatment.
The national police say, no, stop that.
And so they have pulled out for the first time in 30 years.
Haiti has been a mess ever since it was independent.
I believe that was in 1810 or 185. It's been a terrible mess.
And they have been, Doctors Without Borders have been there for 30 years during which time it's gone from mess to mess, but it's gotten so bad that they have decided to jump ship.
Now, some of you may be aware of a Kenyan-led multinational security support mission that showed up a few months ago in Haiti, but its attempts to quell the violence have failed.
Now, if you really want to get something done in Haiti, I think one of the worst ideas is to try to send an African force there.
Whenever you have these African forces, they've been in Haiti before.
They were in Haiti after the earthquake, and they ended up buggering little boys, raping women.
Meanwhile, the Transitional Presidential Council...
This is the body created to organize elections and reestablish democratic order, as if there were such a thing to reestablish.
According to the BBC, it appears to be in turmoil.
In turmoil.
Yes, the transitional presidential council is in turmoil.
Now, it seems to me, like it or not, the only way to get things under control in that country would be to send people from some white country, the United States, maybe some European country.
Of course, if that were to be done, this would be neocolonialism, this would be racism, this would be horrible, horrible, horrible.
But look what is happening there.
It is absolute chaos, and no wonder they want to leave.
It would be worth going in just to make the place a little bit more livable so fewer people would want to leave and come live with us.
Now, here's a heartwarming story about the New York City Police Department.
Police in New York have, for the past few years, been struggling with a jump in shoplifting.
So far this year, the department has recorded more than 57,000 retail thefts.
And by this time last year, there had been 55,500.
So it's gone from 55,500 up to 57,000.
But on Saturday, a New York City police sergeant was arrested after officials said that she was caught shoplifting at a Target.
Yes, this is a New York City police sergeant.
Oh dear.
Her name is Raina Madhoe.
M-A-D-H-O, age 41. I will not make any kind of puns on the basis of her name, Madhoe, but she's been suspended without pay.
Sergeant Madhoe joined the police force in 2006, promoted to detective in 2013, and then sergeant and Look at this.
City payroll records show that she has earned more than $201,000.
That's nearly $55,000 of which she made working overtime.
Now, where would Raina Madho be from?
She was born in Trinidad.
And from her photograph, I would consider her an African-Americaness.
At least seven different civilian complaints have been lodged against Sergeant Matt Ho, alleging excessive force, discourtesy, and abuse of authority.
And last year, ironically enough, Mayor Eric Adams, who is wavering in authority these days because he looks to be under indictment for various kinds of skullduggery.
Last year, Mayor Eric Adams rolled out a plan to address retail theft.
Calling for policy changes, a dedicated task force, and neighborhood watch groups.
And lo and behold, one of his sergeants is out there making the process even worse.
Now let's stick with the NYPD for a while.
It turns out that the highest paid employee of the force last year collected more than $400,000 doing purely administrative work, and more than half of her haul coming from a staggering amount of overtime pay.
Yes, this is another Lady BIPOC who is on the force.
Lou Lieutenant...
Quathisha.
Quathisha Epps.
Quathisha.
That's a new one on me, but our African American fellow citizens are nothing if not inventive when it comes to ladies' names.
Lieutenant Quathisha Epps, a 19-year veteran, pocketed $403,000, $515,000 in fiscal year 2024. Having pulled in $204,000 in overtime pay on top of her base salary of $164,000.
And then there are fringe benefits on top of that.
The astonishing amount of overtime alone, which is the highest paid by the department to anyone in at least a decade.
Well, I should hope so.
That would be enough.
The overtime alone would be enough to cover the salaries of three new NYPD officers.
The starting pay for an officer, this is in New York City, which has a pretty high cost of living, is only $58,580.
So, yes, just with overtime alone, they could have put three more police on the street.
Her compensation was even higher than her boss, the police chief, Jeffrey Madry, the top uniformed cop.
She earned more than he did by $111,000.
He got $292,000.
That's not bad, but she got $111,000 more.
The news about Lieutenant Kwathisha enraged NYPD's rank and file.
What administrative work requires you to stay there 115 to 120 hours every effing month to get that time of money, said one Bronx cop, who has been on the beat for 20 years, It's ridiculous for someone who's never been in the street.
She doesn't have a single arrest to her name, is not in a position to be dealing with prisoners or courts at all.
Well, Quanisha Epps, who feels absolutely fine about working her nearly 1,627 hours of overtime, Or an average of 74 hours per week.
She works 74 hours a week on a desk job.
I guess it's a mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty important desk job.
This article does not go into exactly what this essential job is.
But she justified her high number of overtime hours.
She says, I'm a really good lady.
I do positive things.
Well, thus saith Quethisha.
She do positive things.
Well, I'm happy for her.
I imagine one of the most positive things she does is deposit those fat checks.
Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Let's move to that.
Since 2019, Nicholas Anthony Williams, another one of our Dosky brethren, he worked as an FBI Special Agent in the Houston Field Office from 2019. Well, it turns out, from March 2022 to July 2023, Mr. Williams, age 37, is known to have stolen money and property while carrying out search warrants.
Isn't that lovely?
You get to knock on somebody's door, produce a warrant, in you go, and while you're snooping around, if something strikes your fancy, you just walk out with it.
One occasion was on July 13, last year, when he raided the home of someone by the name of Alexander Fan.
He is a member of Asians for Trump, and he was one of the people who waltzed into the Capitol as part of the January 6th protest against the election results.
Fan's lawyers noticed, well, he said Fan had noticed money and silver bars missing after the FBI searched his house, and Fan filed a formal complaint.
complaint.
This is one of the reasons why the FBI finally decided to take a look at this fellow.
At that time, Williams, Nicholas Anthony Williams, made off with $2,729 in cash.
I'm not quite sure how they get such a precise number.
Some silver bars, which he later, of course, sold off.
On a different theft during while he was carrying out a search warrant, he stole $1,200.
On a different time, he got $4,145 from a raid.
Again, I guess these people knew exactly how much cash they had in the home and what it was missing.
They could tell the FBI. And then another time, he pocketed $1,574.
People have a lot of cash sitting around the house.
Now, Agent Williams, Special Agent Williams, also admitted to using his FBI-issued credit card to buy three cell phones, which he pawned.
Isn't this great?
He buys cell phones and pawns them on his FBI credit card.
Apparently, listen to this.
Agent Williams seems to be a pretty dim bulb.
He spent $900 in taxpayers' money on these three cell phones, and guess on what he got from the pawn shop?
I guess these must have been brand new phones, brand new phones, three of them, $300 each.
The pawn shop gave him $105.
Not a good deal, either for Williams or for the U.S. FBI. Well, U.S. District Judge Andrew Heenan will impose sentencing January 13th next year.
At that time, Williams faces up to 10 years in federal pokey.
And a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
But of course I'm sure when he came on the force he was celebrated as a wonderful addition to diversity.
And maybe that will go into the consideration of a lenient sentence.
We can't be punishing people for being diverse because diversity is our greatest strength and he is the estimable bearer of that greatest strength we all love.
Well, likewise, in Boston we have...
Like a certain sort of shenanigan going on here, the FBI arrested City Councilor Tanya Fernandez Anderson on public corruption charges.
She was a city council member, yes, Tanya Fernandez Anderson.
In 2022, she hired a staff member that was related to her and then defrauded the city by proposing an arrangement in which the person would receive additional compensation but would kick back most of the bonus pay.
Well, that's a deal, isn't it?
She offers this employee of hers, who is a relative, you're not supposed to hire relatives, and says, okay, I'm going to give you a $10,000 bonus, but on condition that you pay me $7,000 of it.
Well, what do you know?
And let's see.
Why did she get into this stuff?
Why was she so desperate for money?
Well, she was facing personal financial difficulty, which included missing monthly rent and car payments.
And also, she had a $5,000 civil penalty from the Boston City Ethics Commission.
And she was incurring repeated bank overdraft fees.
Now, overdraft fees, as I recall, I don't know.
I don't think I've ever bounced a check, so I imagine, what, they're 20, 30 bucks?
But Boston City Councilors are not allowed to hire immediate family members on their paid staff.
She hired two such people The Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance told her that her campaign had taken in contributions over the legal limit and failed to file deposit information.
I bet she failed to file deposit information because some of that money went where it shouldn't have gone.
Well, she happens to represent District 7, which includes the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury, Deuchester, Fenway, and a portion of the South, and all very vibrant communities.
Very vibrant.
Now, I've saved the best till the end, ladies and gentlemen.
Tanya Fernandez Anderson, despite her name, was the first Muslim on the city council.
The first formerly undocumented person on the city council.
That means illegal immigrant.
And the first African immigrant to be on the city council.
So she was not just a twofer, she was a threefer.
But lo and behold, she's not exactly a credit to her race, is she?
I guess she just couldn't make it, make ends meet on her salary of $115,000, but being a member of the Boston City Council is supposed to be a part-time job, so she could have had time to have another gig, but instead she decided to defraud the people of Boston.
Now, here's news from our cousins from across the Atlantic, our British kinfolk.
New information from the Office of National Statistics shows that the top baby name for boys in 2023 is Mohammed.
That is the most popular baby name in England and Wales.
And this is Muhammad, spelled with an M-U and an A-D at the end.
Muhammad.
The name has been in the top ten since 2016, before becoming the second most popular boy's name just in 2022. It has overtaken Noah.
Which was the most popular boy's name in 2021 and 2022?
Now, I'm curious to know, why is Noah so bloody popular?
I don't know anybody by the name of Noah.
I bet most of you don't know anyone by the name of Noah.
But apparently, that must be the sheik boy's name among non-Muslim Brits.
Now, as I said, Muhammad came out on top.
In four of the nine regions in England, but it was only 63rd in Wales.
I think that is a roundabout way of saying there aren't that many Muslims in Wales.
So, as it turns out, all across England and Wales, last year there were 4,661 Mohammeds who came into the world and 4,382 Noahs.
Now, the fact is, Muhammad has a lot of different spellings.
And Muhammad, if you'd totaled up all the various spellings, it would have ranked number one long ago, if you'd combined them.
But, since the Brits make a careful distinction between the various kinds of Muhammad, it finally came out on top this year.
Muhammad.
Now, Muhammad, not Muhammad, came in...
22nd, and Muhammad was 55th.
But even Muhammad at 55th was still ahead of such classical names as David, Alexander, Frederick, Benjamin, Joseph, and Daniel.
So the Brits are really getting pretty lively with these unusual names, it seems to me.
Now the top baby girl's name last year was Olivia.
And that makes Olivia the top girl's name in Britain for eight years in a row.
Now, number two and number three were Amelia, and then number three was spelled I-S-L-A. That's the number three most popular girl's name in Britain last year.
Now, I think Americans would be at a bit of a loss to know how you pronounce it.
Do you say Isla?
Well, you don't.
It's pronounced Isla.
Isla.
The S is silent.
And I know this for a fact, partly because there is an island where Off the coast of Scotland, it's spelled S-L-A-Y, and it's pronounced also Islay.
And so this S is sometimes silent in the Scottish vernacular.
So, it seems a little bit strange to me, though, that it's ISLA. You have an island called ISLAY, but there you go.
Our British cousins seem to be moving in strange directions in terms of the names they give to their children.
Now, continuing with Great Britain, there is a substantial movement from Tory to reform.
Tory, of course, is the Conservative Party.
Reform is the new party found that is very much devoted to the idea of cutting back on immigration.
Nigel Farage was one of the leaders of the entire Brexit movement, and now he is really the strongest voice for really serious immigration control at the borders, and he is gaining popularity rapidly.
Well, as it turns out, The husband of Suella Braverman, and I will tell you about her in just a moment.
Her husband, Rael, is going to join the Reform Party and campaign on behalf of the party.
And this move is likely to fuel speculation that Mrs. Braverman herself, Suella Braverman, could join Reform.
Although she said she's not defecting, not yet.
And this follows defections last week of former Tory MP Andrea Jenkins and Boris Johnson.
He was once the Tory Prime Minister.
His former advisor, Tim Montgomery, who founded the Conservative Home website.
So a lot of Tories are jumping ship.
Now, why is Mr. Braverman's defection important?
Well, only because he is married to Suella Braverman.
Well, Mr. Braverman was born in South Africa, moved to Britain as a child.
He is a white man.
Mrs. Braverman is not.
She is of Indian origin.
In any case, she came to Britain as a child.
I believe she was born on Mauritius, but in any case, she's very much Indian in heritage.
She was elected to Parliament in 2015. She campaigned on the Brexit campaign to leave the European Union, and she campaigned on the 2016 EU membership referendum, and she was very strong, saying we need to get out of the EU. In 2019, Suella Braverman stated in a speech that, as conservatives, we are engaged in a battle against cultural Marxism.
You're beginning to get a sense of who Suella Braverman is, even if you hadn't known about her already.
Well, in 2022, she was appointed Home Secretary.
Home Secretary is the person who is in charge of controlling the borders.
And she said that sending asylum seekers to Rwanda...
Not Haiti, but to Rwanda was her dream and obsession.
Yep, she wanted them out, out, out, out.
The first attempted flight, though, in Britain to send these asylum seekers, all probably disreputable people that no one would want in Britain, the first attempt to send them in June 2022 resulted in their being restrained and attached to the seats of their plane.
After some of them threatened suicide and some of them tried to harm themselves.
So you just trap them to their seats and off they go.
In March of 2023, Suella Braverman visited Rwanda and looked over the housing, which was supposed to be used for asylum seekers.
And she got a lot of opposition from this by people saying, Oh no, this is cruel.
You can't send these poor darlings to a place like Rwanda.
And She said all these people complaining, she referred to them as guardian-reading tofu-eating wokarati.
The Guardian, of course, is a famous leftist newspaper in Britain.
Guardian-reading tofu-eating wokarati.
And she talked about illegal immigration.
She called it an invasion.
And she said children must be protected from grooming gangs.
She's saying all the right things.
And in 2023, she unveiled a proposition to house approximately 500 single adult men on a barge.
I think that was a great idea.
She didn't want them circulating.
Keep them on this barge and don't have them walking around.
They're just not to be had.
You just don't want them mixing with the British population.
Also, in 2023, she proposed a new law in England and Wales to limit the use of tents.
By homeless people, otherwise known as bums, vagrants, winos, drifters, she said many of them see it as a lifestyle choice.
She doesn't want them living in tents.
Let them live under bridges if they want to have their lifestyle choice.
She supported the withdrawal of the UK from the European Convention of Human Rights.
This is also a great thing.
This ECHC, as it's called, finds human rights in all the strangest places you would never hope to look.
And if you are threatening to deprive someone of these inexplicable rights, then you can't kick them out of the country.
She says, we need to just leave the convention.
Absolutely right.
She has described herself as a child of the British Empire.
Her parents, who were from Mauritius, yes, Mauritius and Kenya, they came to the UK, and she says, with an admiration and gratitude for what Britain did for Mauritius and Kenya and India.
Fancy that.
She believes that, on the whole, the British Empire was a force for good and described herself as being proud of the British Empire.
Now, how many white Brits are prepared to say such a loyal and, I think, utterly commonsensical thing?
She is, as I said, of Indian heritage, but she feared that a trade deal with India would increase migration to Britain.
Indians are already the largest group of people who have overstayed their visas.
She said, immigration threatens the country's national character.
How many whites are prepared to say this?
I mean, I think it's a pity that we have to admire somebody like Suella Braverman, who is prepared to say these things.
I wish that she could give white people a little bit more background.
She's a bit of an oddball in some respects, though she's a member of the Trirotna Buddhist community.
Buddhist community.
And she took her oath of office as an MP on a Buddhist scripture known as the Dhammapada.
Now, I confess I've never read the Dhammapada, but apparently it is a book of great psychological and spiritual importance to Suella Braverman.
Now, getting back to the fact that her husband has jumped ship over to Mr. Farage's reform party to This comes amidst evidence of growing support for reform.
And a recent opinion poll showed that his party has overtaken labor.
Nigel Farage is supported by 24%, labor is 23%, while the Tories, the conservatives, whose members are shifting over to reform, they are still in the lead at 26%.
However, there is increasing unease among the Tories, the Conservatives.
Their leader now is a Nigerian woman born in Nigeria named Kemi Badunak.
Isn't that great?
A Nigerian woman, and believe me, she looks as Nigerian as can be.
She's leading this party, and the conservatives in the party are worried about this strategy of reviewing policy rather than setting out clear-cut positions on such issues as immigration.
In any case...
The chairman of the Reform Party, named Zia Yusuf, doesn't sound like a white man to me.
He says that reform is likely to win the next general election.
And the party's chief whip, a fellow named Lee Anderson, he defected from the Tories in March, has been meeting conservatives who lost their seats in the latest election and is urging them to switch over to reform.
So, I don't know.
It may be that if this switch continues, it could be the death of the conservative party.
I have a kind of nostalgia for the Tories.
They did many good things for a long time, or at least they did fewer bad things than some of the more liberals.
The party was founded in 1834, and its roots go all the way back to the 17th century.
It produced such prime ministers as Benjamin Disraeli, Robert Peel, and Margaret Thatcher.
But it looks as though it's certainly going down rapidly.
Now moving across the English Channel to France.
A poll conducted for Europe 1 C News and the Journal du Dimanche showed that 48% of French people want zero immigrants.
None.
Zero.
None whatsoever.
Not one person coming into France.
48%.
And that is a seven-point jump compared for the same poll taken in 2021. And it turns out that young people and women...
The two groups arguably most affected by mass immigration are especially opposed.
More women than men were in favor of absolute zero immigration.
53% of French women say not one.
Pas un seul.
We don't want one of them.
As opposed to 44% of men.
I suspect that of course has to do with the fact that women are constantly being harassed by immigrants, especially in any part of a big city where you have large immigrant population.
Women Ordinary women who wear ordinary European-style clothes cannot walk down the street without being harassed and jeered at and hooted at.
And, of course, there is a very considerable rape problem among these Muslims and French women.
So, of course they're against immigration.
I'm surprised it's only 53%.
As it turns out, in France, the professionally white-collar class, only 45% of them want zero immigration.
Of course, these are the people who can best protect themselves from immigrants by living in nice parts of town, and they probably have hired some nice Muslim woman to be a nanny to their children.
Now, these are people, as I said before, who want absolutely zero immigration.
There are probably outright majorities of people who would say, you know, limit it to X or put strict controls on it.
So, it is very good to see that the French are much more straightforward about wanting zero immigrants.
Now, will they get their wish?
Unlikely.
Whenever white people in any majority white country say, no, we're sick of immigration.
I mean, the United States majorities of all Americans don't want more immigration.
And big majorities of white Americans, too bad.
This is the way democracy works.
So we will see.
We will see what happens in France.
But here's a little bit more about France.
An Afghan migrant is on trial this week accused of attempted murder against his wife because she reportedly wants to be more European.
The 31-year-old defendant, Nasir, an Afghan, what's he even doing in France?
What on earth are there any Afghans doing in France?
But there they are.
He's facing charges of attempted murder and rape.
And rape.
I don't know where the rape fits in.
After stabbing his 28-year-old wife Fakira eight times in their home.
He stabbed her eight times and left her for dead.
Now, again, I don't quite understand where the attempted rape comes in.
Before, after, during, who knows?
These Afghans are pretty tricky characters.
Now, she had wanted to do such unforgivable things, this fakira woman, as walk around with her hair uncovered, wear modern clothing, I suppose that's something that doesn't cover her top to bottom, and she wanted to take French lessons.
Her husband didn't like that.
He insisted that she conform to traditional expectations.
She wants to be European.
I don't, he reportedly told her uncle.
I asked her to dress a certain way and to stay at home.
And she wanted to dress a different way and not stay at home and learn French.
Oh my gosh, can't have her talking to French people.
Boy, oh boy.
So he showed up, stabbed her, as I said, eight times and left for dead.
And her uncle called emergency service and stayed with her.
She fought for her life.
She barely survived.
And he told the court her body was bloody everywhere.
I bet it was.
Well, Nasser, the stabber and attempted rapist, he was celebrated by members of the Afghan community who viewed the violence as an act of honor and called on him to finish the job.
Well, it's going to be hard for him to do that from a jail cell, which is, I suspect, where he will end up.
What Nasir should have realized is that there is a way to keep his wife more in accordance with his ideals.
And that's to stay in Afghanistan.
Stay there.
And then your wife is much less likely to be tempted to become European.
Because there are no Europeans there.
Wouldn't that be the solution, Nasir?
But no, no.
Got to stab her eight times.
Now, while we are talking about France...
This is an article by Eugene Volokh.
Volokh is spelled V-O-L-O-K-H, and he's really a very good guy.
He is often featured in Reason Magazine, the Libertarian Magazine, and I have almost never read anything of his that I didn't think was really very well thought out and on the ball.
He writes this, Partly because of the slippery slope censorship envy problem.
Yes, it is a slippery slope.
You start banning one particular opinion about one particular historical event, and there's a slippery slope, and then there's the censorship envy.
I like that.
You say, well, well, okay, you can't talk about the Nazis and the Jews.
Then other people are going to say, well, you can't talk about our little problem either.
And unsurprisingly, that has happened.
Such bans tend to broader policing of historical claims, such as the French fine imposed on noted historian Bernard Lewis for his views on the Armenian Genocide.
He did not want to call it genocide, and because genocide is an officially, legally accepted act, it was genocide, it wasn't just a lot of killing, it was genocide, so this historian Bernard Lewis was fined.
Well, the latest example.
It's a case of a French Cameroonian writer, Charles Onana.
He wrote a book called Rwanda, The Truth About Operation Turquoise.
I don't know what Operation Turquoise is, but I guess the truth is in his book.
And the book's publisher, Damien Serieux.
So, the two of them were fined nearly $15,000 and ordered to pay more than $11,000 to three human rights groups that had sued them.
Now, what did they do wrong?
They, Mr. Onana and his publisher, was guilty for their public challenge to the existence of a crime against humanity.
In his book, Mr. Onana denied there had been a genocide.
He said that there was killing on both sides by Tutsis and Hutus, but there was no genocide.
He says certainly Tutsis were massacred, targeted, but they were not the only ones, he wrote.
Well...
The French can't have this, apparently.
If the government says, that was a genocide, and you say, well, no, no, no, no, I wouldn't define it as genocide, then you can be fine.
Now, Volokh continues.
Volokh, good for Volokh.
He says, the French have their free speech rules, and we have ours.
And incidents like this remind me of why I like ours better.
I like ours better, too.
When some public disagreement becomes illegal and the debate is therefore truncated, how can we know that any consensus after that point is trustworthy?
Good question.
If one side of the question is completely snuffed out, how do we know?
He says, I appreciate that one premise of the Holocaust denial laws might be that government validation of a particular historical position should lead us to trust that view because we trust the government.
But I don't think governments are trustworthy on such matters.
Well, good for you, Eugene.
I don't think so either.
Now, back to the United States.
San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to become a so-called super-sanctuary jurisdiction.
Refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials even when illegal aliens in custody about to be released have committed violent crimes The resolution says this The county shall not provide assistance or cooperation to ICE in its immigration enforcement efforts including by giving ICE agents access to individuals or allowing them to use county facilities for investigative interviews or other purposes The county will not expend county time or resources
responding to ICE inquiries or communicating with ICE regarding individuals' incarceration status or release dates, or otherwise participate in any immigration enforcement activity.
There are a lot of things that I can sort of, if I really make an effort, I can understand lefties wanting this, lefties wanting that, more programs for this bunch of losers and more programs for that bunch of losers.
But this particular bunch of losers, these are criminal illegal aliens.
They have committed Committed crimes.
Violent crimes.
And here comes a federal agency to some city, San Diego County, and it says, you know, I'll take these guys off your hands.
They will no longer be walking the streets.
They're here in the country illegally.
We are going to ship them entirely not only out of San Diego County, out of the entire country.
Now, wouldn't any sensible person, even a Democratic voter, even, even, hold your breath, Kamala Harris, wouldn't she say, thank goodness, get these people off our hands?
But no!
These people are saying, yes, maybe this guy was a hatchet murderer, maybe he was a baby rapist, but...
He's here illegally, but we love him anyway.
So I said, don't you dare, don't you dare put your ugly, racist hands on our beloved illegal immigrant criminal.
I don't understand this.
I really don't understand this.
But that's what the San Diego Board of Supervisors voted.
So let's see what else we've got to talk about.
Now, this is especially bad because Because the grade five pupils from South Africa were competing against fourth graders.
So, they're a year older, presumably a year better educated, but they were worst of the 59 countries.
And they were competing against pupils.
The pupils who did the very best were Singapore, China, Taipei, Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong.
They got the best scores.
The U.S. was in the middle of the pack.
Well, at least we weren't at the bottom.
Some of the other countries that beat the South Africans were Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Azerbaijan, and Morocco.
Now, I do have to give you a regretful story here about our president to be Donald Trump.
He's wavering.
He says he wants to work with the Democrats on a plan to help illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as minors and were protected from deportation under an Obama-era order.
He wants to work with Democrats to make them stay.
He says we have to do something about the so-called dreamers.
These people were brought here at a very young age, and many of them are middle-aged people now.
They don't even speak the language of their country, and yes, we're going to do something about them, Trump said.
They have great jobs.
In some cases, they have small businesses.
In some cases, they might have large businesses, and we're going to have to do something for them.
When asked if he wanted them to stay, he says, I do.
I want to be able to work something out.
I think we can work with the Democrats and figure something out.
Well, that would mean 800,000 illegal immigrants by waving a magic wand can stay here forever and ever and ever and become US citizens and probably run for president if they want.
Now, the Trump administration The first time around, pushed unsuccessfully to end DACA, this dreamer business.
But it was blocked by the Supreme Court.
Obama, just by executive order, says, yeah, these people can stay.
We love these folks.
They're brought here as children.
And oh my gosh, we can't send them back.
Despite the fact that they're illegal immigrants...
They got in-state tuition in lots of places, and they've just been eating.
They've just been fat and happy, doing fine here in the United States.
We cannot send them back.
But first time Donald Trump was president, he wrote an executive order and said, phooey, we can get rid of him.
Supreme Court blocked it.
Now Donald Trump, as I say, he's wavering.
He is wavering.
Now, he's going to work with the Democrats?
Well, immigration activists have pushed not only for a passage in Congress of what they call the DREAM Act.
This would be an act of Congress to legalize these people who are smuggled in.
It's been introduced many times.
It never got to the point of becoming law.
But the legislation...
The legislation the Democrats are pushing and just the kind of legislation that perhaps we'll end up with if Donald Trump starts working with these Democrats, it would go much further and grant a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 2 million illegal immigrants.
Not just the original $800,000, $800,000 who benefited from this original DACA business.
So, Donald, baby, we thought we could trust you.
This doesn't sound good.
This doesn't sound good at all.
Now, this doesn't sound good either.
A federal judge on Friday ruled that the U.S. Naval Academy can continue considering race in its admission process, finding that military cohesion and other national security factors mean the school should not be subjected to the same standards as civilian universities.
During a two-week bench trial in September, lawyers for the Naval Academy argued that prioritizing diversity in the military makes it stronger, more effective, more widely respected.
Did you know that?
I didn't.
Well, the group behind the case was Students for Fair Admission.
They're the people who brought that magnificent lawsuit, took it to the Supreme Court, challenging affirmative action.
In universities, they got a great US Supreme Court ruling last year, but, and I never understood the reasoning for this, the Supreme Court ruling carved out an exemption for the military academies, suggesting that national security interests could affect the legal analysis of race preferences.
Well, this time around, the federal judge, Judge Richard Bennett, he was appointed by George W. Bush, and he served for 20 years in the Army Reserve and the Maryland National Guard.
He wrote that the Naval Academy had, quote, established a compelling national security interest in a diverse officer corps.
He says the U.S. military has long made the judgment that developing and maintaining a fighting force that is qualified and demographically diverse at all levels is critical for mission effectiveness.
Well, they've maybe said that.
What's the proof?
Now, this is the sentence that particularly leapt off the page to me.
Judge Bennett wrote, the Academy has proven that this national security interest is indeed measurable.
Really?
The fact that you have got Hispanics and Blacks and Muslims and who knows what in the officer corps, that results in a measurable improvement to national security?
I'd like to see the data.
I'd like to see the study.
And I, frankly, don't believe it.
I don't believe anybody has measured it in any kind of legitimate way.
And if they did, they would find that all this diversity, all it does is cause more dissension, more hostility, more division, just in the military as it does anywhere else in the United States or around the world.
Well, Edward Blum, who is the guy who runs the Students for Fair Admission, a very hardworking guy trying to get these racial preferences ticked out, he said his group will appeal the decision Well, good luck.
He says he's also sued West Point, the Naval Academy case, for the first to go to trial.
The fact is, the Supreme Court has said it's okay for the military academies, so it's going to have to go back to the Supreme Court, and if it goes back to the Supreme Court, he's going to have the same judges to change their minds.
Well, good luck with that.
I hope it works.
In any case, ladies and gentlemen, we have come to the end of our allotted time.
It is a pleasure, an honor, and a joy to be with you.
And I look forward to spending this time with you again next week.
