Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor.
And with me is my indispensable co-host back in the saddle, none other than Paul Kersey.
Today is March 6th, year of our Lord, 2025, if I'm not mistaken about that.
And as usual, Mr. Kersey, let us start with comments.
I thought this was a particularly amusing one.
A listener writes in to say, I work in the tree care industry and I often use Latin scientific names for the various species of trees.
I was thinking about the species of oak, genius quercus, and I coined a new anthropological subspecies, twercus africanus.
I encourage you to use it.
Yeah, I like that.
I would consider this a recently evolved local variant found mostly in North America.
Twercus africanus.
Very good.
Yes.
Now, here's another comment.
Mr. Taylor, recently I re-watched your debate with Dr. Wilford Riley, and I was wondering what he was up to nowadays.
That, for those of you who are not aware out there in listener land, he is a professor at Eastern Kentucky State University, and I publicly debated him in 2017 on the question of whether diversity was good for America.
He took the positive, I took the negative side.
Our listener goes on to say, to my surprise, I found he's written a book called The Lies My Liberal Teachers Told Me.
It's the polar opposite of a 1995 book, Lies My Teacher Told Me, by James Lowen.
Dr. Riley notes that Native people were not harmonious and living as they'd been portrayed in Hollywood adaptations, but the Indians were busily slaughtering each other.
Dr. Riley talked about their proclivity for slavery and the slave trade.
What surprised me most was his willingness to call critical race theory a communist theory, with a rich man being replaced by the white man.
He says all this talk of systemic racism creates a misleading perception of society.
He also refutes the claim that police target African Americans, citing statistics to show no racial bias in police shootings.
He notes that whites abolished slavery, while among other races it was on the rise.
So, the listener concludes by asking, he still has this idea that intelligence and other differences among the races have nothing to do with genes.
Do you think he will eventually come to his senses on this also?
You know, I don't think so.
That's something he has stuck to.
He seems to have hung his life on that.
There's no question about it that after that debate with me, and perhaps I had some sort of effect on him.
In fact, I heard privately that he recognized he'd been soundly trounced in that debate.
But in any case, he seems to have come around and he's now something of a darling amongst the conservatives, a black guy who says some of these things that are just so obviously true, but which are a little bit more difficult for white people to say.
But I think he's really, that would be a hard nut for him to swallow, this whole genetic differences stuff.
Here's another comment, Mr. Kersey.
Welcome back, Mr. Paul Kersey.
You've been missed.
Here's another one.
What?
You left that don't Kersey back on your show?
No, that's a joke.
I just threw that in for a little diversity.
No, no.
Kind of diversity.
Yes.
Self-deprecating.
Excuse me.
No.
Here's one.
Now, I don't remember either of us talking about this, but a listener writes in to say, you mentioned a black Mariah or paddy wagon in last week's show, but you pronounced it Maria, as in the lady in West Side Story.
The proper pronunciation is Mariah, as in Mariah Carey.
Thus saith Merriam-Webster, if you care to check it out.
But keep up the good work.
Did we talk about a black Mariah or a paddy wagon last week?
I'm going through the database of our last conversation, and I'm coming up empty.
But thank you for the correction.
Yes.
My least favorite Christmas singer, Mariah Carey.
Well, I think I've always pronounced Black Mariah, but for those of you out there who might be tempted to mispronounce it, it is Mariah and not Maria.
Another comment.
On your podcast of February 27, you mentioned that King County, Washington, has been renamed in honor of St. Martin.
For quite a few years now, I have been referring to the national holiday as the Feast of St. Martin of the Motel.
Yes, this must be a good Catholic, our listener.
Should you find it useful to refer to him as St. Martin of the Motel, please accept this joke as a gift from me.
St. Martin of the Motel.
Yes, I can see that.
Well, we Protestants aren't so big on saints, but I think that's one I could adopt.
I like that idea.
Now, last week, Mr. Kersey brought up how Vivek Ramaswamywamy made his fortunes.
Vivek's stated aim was to be the Warren Buffett of pharmaceutical investing.
His fund acquired a company that had claimed to develop an Alzheimer's cure.
The drug failed two major trials, and the company was nearly worthless.
At least until Vivek, his mother, and Jim Cramer showed up.
Vivek bought the company for pennies on the dollar.
He then hired his mother to run a new clinical trial.
His mother is one of those genius Indian chemistries we are apparently in such dire need of.
And, of course, the drug passed the test.
Vivek then showed up on Jim Cramer's infamous stock.
Pump and dump show to promote the company.
Have you watched that show, Mr. Kersey?
I have.
I've watched his show a few times.
Is that really what it is?
I never paid much attention.
Is it really kind of a pump and dump show?
I think the running joke is whenever he says that a stock is about to explode, everyone knows it's the inverse.
It's true.
I see.
He says, don't buy, don't buy.
That's when that stock explodes and goes to the start.
So, yeah, it is kind of a running, running joke.
I see.
I see.
Well, apparently after the show, the stock exploded upward.
Vivek and the other insiders immediately unloaded a large chunk of shares.
Sometime later, the drug went through another trial and fell flat on its face and failed.
The stock crashed, and Vivek made yet more money peddling the near-worthless company to some private equity firm.
Vivek defrauded investors.
This is widely known, but he's not been prosecuted.
He must have well-connected friends.
I hope our brother and sister organizations and Vivek's primary opponents endlessly bludgeon this snake and traitor with these details.
He's running for governor of Ohio, as I recall.
Well, you know, it's all very well to call him a snake and traitor, but he can't be a traitor.
He's not an American.
He never will be one.
And you have to be an American to have been a traitor.
He's just a foreigner who is here to milk the cow just as hard as he can.
Now, were those details in conformity with your recollection of things, Mr. Kersey?
You knew more about that than I did.
Yeah, and it's funny you say that about Vivek.
I think that's such an important point that has to be hammered.
He was born in the United States, but he derives his quote-unquote citizenship from the fact that his parents gave birth to him.
His mother gave birth to him.
In the United States.
And he, I'm a proponent of birthright citizenship being retroactively stripped.
And I think he needs to be the face of that as he's lecturing.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah, he was an anchor baby.
He's an anchor baby.
And I, you know, there are a number of people I've seen on your new favorite platform, Twitter.
I will never call it X. It's still Twitter, in my opinion.
We'll call him an anchor baby.
I can't wait till we start seeing people who start chanting Anchor Baby at him.
Oh, that would be great.
That would be great.
No, the more that comes out about him, well, I just hope that his primary opponents have got the backbone to slap him in the face with all of this stuff.
But we will see.
Now, here's another comment.
My wife and I want to welcome Mr. Kersey back.
His comment on Vivek was spot on.
This guy is a silver-tongued con artist.
Maybe you and Mr. Taylor could do a whole segment on this morally repulsive lowlife.
Boy, Vivek is not popular in our listening audience.
And the final comment for this week.
What would you consider to be a realistic, healthy, and sustainable population goal for an intentional white community?
Would that be 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 people?
When I last looked up the population of Orania, In South Africa, that is the famous intentional all-boer community, sort of in the middle of the desert, right in the middle of the country.
Google said that the community has 2,500 members.
Maybe the goal is different for groups that wish to establish several communities in the United States, in different states, such as return to the land.
But what would you consider an ideal number?
Well, Mr. Kersey, my ideal number would be about 100 million.
I think the more the merrier.
There's no reason why an intentional community has got to be small.
I really do hope someday that there will be an in-gathering of Europeans in North America to have their very own country.
Now, of course, the way we have to start, we have to start small.
And I think if you start with 100 people, that's okay too.
But these places can grow.
They can grow wherever white people have the will and the gumption to get them going.
I would like to see them merge and I would like to eventually to become autonomous as much local autonomy as possible.
100 million.
Why not?
Yeah.
I mean, again, a state, a nation is just an outgrowth of a community, combined communities aggregated together.
And I think the most important thing for people to understand is, you know, the United States, that's what we once were.
I mean, that's what the, that's, you know, I don't know if we're going to talk too much about Trump's speech.
I don't know if you watched the State of the Union, but he ended it beautifully, Mr. Taylor.
I don't know if you caught the tail end of his speech where he talked about Our nation was founded by pioneers who came here across an ocean.
And he mentioned that over and over again and hammered that point.
And that's got to be said over and over again, is that this great nation was carved through the concept of Manifest Destiny.
There was nothing here prior to that except a bunch of warring Amerindian tribes.
And we have nothing to apologize for.
And in the future, as the great people of Irania are showing...
To ensure that their posterity are going to be free of the horror of diversity and multiculturalism and democratic black rule, you have to have rules set up and establish a basis for citizenship.
Yes, indeed.
And that is something that the Britons are failing on rather spectacularly, Mr. Kersey.
But before you get into your first story, let us remind our listeners how to reach us.
There are two ways to do so.
We love to hear from you.
We love especially when we make mistakes.
And we like to be corrected because I hate to be guilty of spreading disinformation whether I want to or not.
And I never want to.
So, the way to reach me is to go to amren.com and find the Contact Us tab and you can send a message straight to me.
The other way to reach us is...
Yeah, send me an email.
Because we live here at protonmail.com Because we live here at Proton.me.
Love each and every one of your comments.
And as Mr. Taylor said, if we say something incorrect, if I mispronounce a word, go ahead and send over a correction.
Because we want to get everything right.
We pride ourselves on that.
I believe this is maybe the 10th year we've been doing these podcasts.
Our decade of doing these, we want to make sure that we are bringing you something fantastic.
And that's our goal, is to continue to enlighten your day with this product.
So, Mr. Kersey, tell us about this gruesome story from Britain.
Yeah, this comes to us courtesy of the Daily Mail, one of our favorite websites over the years.
And this one has the headline, Iraqi drug dealer jailed for five years, can't be deported because he's too westernized.
And would be viewed with suspicion back home.
That's what a judge declared.
Again, he's escaped deportation after he was deemed too Western to go back.
He was convicted criminal sins to five years and four months behind bars for dealing cocaine at his Crown Court trial back in 2015.
He had unsuccessfully tried to claim asylum in 2010, nine years after entering Britain, but he had been granted indefinite leave to remain.
The immigration and asylum chamber at the Upper Tribunal in London was told the unnamed Iraqi had now been in the UK for 24 years.
So the Home Office applied to deport him following his release from jail, but the asylum court ruled he's eligible to remain in Britain.
It comes after a judge argued he would be viewed with suspicion if he was returned to Iraq and faced persecution because he'd been viewed as westernized.
I think he ought to be viewed with deep suspicion by the people of Britain for the fact that he is here for heaven's sake.
This is just so disgusting to me, but please continue.
He was great at anonymity.
He has a young, quote-unquote, British citizen daughter.
So forgive me for not knowing the rules of how citizenship is granted in the United Kingdom.
Do they also have birthright citizenship?
I don't think they ordinarily do, no.
So something must have been done here.
Some jiggery-pokery got this girl's citizenship.
Who knows?
It might have knocked up an actual British citizen.
You just never know the assorted business.
Yeah, well, one of your favorite politicians in the West, Theresa May, who I believe sent you a letter claiming that you can no longer enter the UK. Am I right on that?
Yes, that was my love letter from Theresa May.
She said, don't bother to even show up because we ain't going to let you in.
Well...
To her credit here, then-Home Secretary May tried to deport the Iraqi upon his conviction.
He was notified of his intention to be deported.
His human rights claim was refused, and he became the subject of a signed deportation order in February 2018. He appealed but was ultimately unsuccessful and became appeal rights exhausted in December of 2019. But, of course, the UK is called Cook Island for a reason.
He applied for a European Economic Area Residence Card, which allowed non-EU persons to live and work in the UK, as he was the partner of a Hungarian woman who he had a daughter with in 2014.
Okay, okay.
Oh, boy.
Yes, that's what I feared.
Oh, dear.
But the application was refused on technical grounds because he didn't have a passport.
How in the world did he get the United Kingdom to begin with?
You know, they don't care.
A lot of people show up, tear up their passports, so they don't know what country to send them back to.
It's just such a disgrace.
Britain is just shamelessly awful about this.
But, you know, I'm not sure I want to hear any more about this guy.
No, there's not much else to say.
It's just that the Iraqi and his lawyers have argued that he's too westernized to return to Iraq.
People in the Middle East country would be suspicion of him.
It's one of those stories that you just have to read the headline to your head and say, we live under the most insane rulers imaginable in human history, that this is even up for debate.
You know, I'm sure the very same judge would have said, some out of the desert Iraqi could show up here, but he will not be looked.
With suspicion, he'll fit right in.
He'll fit right into Nelson's England, Shakespeare's England.
But, you know, an Iraqi who's been here long enough so that some of the rough edges have not been knocked off.
He doesn't have any more desert sand between his toes anymore.
Oh, the guy can't go back because he won't fit in.
What preposterous nonsense.
Well, let's see.
We've got more preposterous nonsense from Australia, my dear Mr. Kersey.
It has passed a tough new hate crime law.
And this law will impose a minimum jail sentence of one year and a maximum sentence of five years for giving a Nazi salute in public or waving a swastika.
You throw up your arm, a year in prison minimum, maybe five years.
Prime Minister says, I want people who are engaged in anti-Semitism to be held to account, to be charged and incarcerated.
His government has invented new offenses for threatening force or violence against people based on their race, religion, nationality, national or ethnic origin.
Political opinion.
Now, this is interesting.
I wonder if you can go to jail for a year for disagreeing with your or my political opinion.
I suspect somehow not, but that's on the list.
For discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or intersex status.
I'm not quite sure what intersex status is.
I don't want it.
You don't want it.
I can't imagine how anybody would want intersex status.
But if you've got it, you can't be discriminated against.
It's already a serious criminal offense to urge force or violence against specific groups.
The new laws no longer require an intention that the force or violence actually occur.
It's enough if a person is reckless as to whether force or violence might occur.
So they make it easier and easier and easier to throw people in jail.
And I'm sure the only people they're targeting are ordinary white Australians.
I bet there isn't going to be a single Muslim, a single Aboriginal who's going to go to jail on these things.
The new laws increase the maximum penalties for offenses to five years.
Now, this is really quite interesting, too.
As of March 4th, 2025, and I looked them up, Mr. Kersey, because I take my job seriously, there is a list of 29 organizations.
And if you publicly display the flag or the symbols of any of these organizations, you are automatically due for a minimum 12-month and maximum 5-month prison term.
Now, I bet, Mr. Kersey, you wouldn't even recognize the flag of Boko Haram or Hamas or the Kurdish Workers Party.
But if you happen to have one and you're taking it out in public and looking at it out of curiosity, you have committed a terroristic offense.
Also, but interestingly enough, there are two U.S.-based organizations, which I cannot suspect are not massive forces anywhere in the world.
Something called the National Socialist Order.
It apparently has a flag, probably with a swastika on it.
And then there's also something called the base.
I have a vague recollection of having heard of the base.
But if you wave their flag in public, bam, off to jail you go.
Or if you are the Hezbollah, Hezbollah, you wave the Hezbollah flag, the Islamic State, al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda, all the various variants, crazy stuff.
They sure don't believe in freedom of speech down under, do they?
No.
You know what?
I've always wanted to go to Australia.
I've heard, what, from here it's about a 20-hour flight.
I'm going to stay out of Australia until there's a little more freedom of speech there.
It's one of those goofy countries that has just been affected with this virus.
And you better keep your Boko Haram pocket flag in your pocket, boy, if you show up there.
Golly, what a country.
I mean, the English-speaking people are so badly off, and we've been awful up until just a few, just, well, what is it, a month and a half ago?
Just one pathetic, scandalous thing after another.
We need to really pull our English-speaking brethren out of the hole here.
But now here is a story from Spain.
So sad, so sad, so sad.
There is a Spanish actress by the name of Carla Sofia Gascon, age 52. She became the first openly transgender actress, that means a man pretending to be a woman, to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.
Now, this followed nominations for a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award.
So this lady, so to speak, was flying high.
The most nominated film for Oscars was one in which she starred called Emilia Perez.
It got 13 nominations, however.
Voter support completely vanished overnight after the discovery of a series of derogatory comments that Carla Sofia Gascon posted online years ago.
In a post reacting to the 2021 Academy Awards, she wrote, more and more, the Oscars are looking like a ceremony for independent and protest films.
I don't know if I was watching an Afro-Korean festival, a Black Lives Matter demonstration, or the 8M.
Apart from that, an ugly, ugly gala.
I wonder what the 8M was.
Any idea what that is?
The 8M.
Maybe that's some sort of inside Spanish joke.
I don't know.
So that was apparently an absolutely suicidal thing to have posted, even for a man pretending to be a woman.
And in a deleted 2020 post, he, she wrote, It is just my impression, or are there more Muslims in Spain?
Every time I go to pick up my daughter from school, there are more women with their hair covered and their skirts down to their heels.
Next year, instead of English, we'll have to teach Arabic.
Another!
Disqualifying post.
I mean, that disqualifies the entire movie.
It had all of these nominations for best picture, but the whole picture was ignored because of these things that the star wrote.
In a statement to people on January 30th, just when these things came tumbling up, she said, Or he said, I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt as someone in a marginalized community.
Marginalized, yes.
Nomination after nomination for Best Actor, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, but she's part of a marginalized community.
I know this suffering all too well, and I'm deeply sorry to those I've caused pain all my life.
I fought for a better world.
I believe light will always triumph over darkness.
But...
You know, if you ever say anything that can be construed as racist, even if you're a man pretending to be a woman, you cannot be saved.
Racism apparently is still the great crime.
But, Mr. Kersey, we're making progress in the United States.
I understand that soon there will be no more BLM Plaza in the nation's capital.
Now, this is one of those stories that you have to go back and think about the past five years and go back to the...
Derek Chauvin incident in Minneapolis and what that birthed.
Unfortunately, that energy was already there.
It was just waiting to manifest.
And it, of course, manifested with D.C. Mayor Mural Bowser painting Black Lives Matter right near the White House as a, for lack of a better term, a view to Donald Trump.
And to remind President Trump, who had had to secure himself in the White House bunker, I believe at the end of May 2020, when hundreds, thousands of people tried to storm the White House in an incident that nobody remembers except us, when, what, 60, 70 Secret Service agents were sent to the hospital?
And then, of course, the next day he came out and did that famous photo op near the church they tried to burn down.
Well, Black Lives Matter was painted right near the White House.
This is one of those great moments that it's one of those little signs that intelligent life is kind of returning to the United States.
And it just kind of starts with, you know, winning has consequences.
You can win.
And Muriel Bowser has issued a statement this past Tuesday stating that they're going to paint over.
This is actually now going to happen.
They're going to paint over Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House.
Well, I think you should explain, for people who have not seen aerial photographs of it, it is Black Lives Matter in enormous letters blocked on right in the middle of the street.
Yeah, it's in yellow, so you can see it from above.
You can see it from the moon, probably.
I'm sure they'd love to have that so you could see it from space.
So what?
I think the running joke is that the only man-made object you can see from space are the pyramids, right?
I think that's what I used to hear that.
I'm sure they would love it if you could see an ostentatious yellow, you know, Black Lives Matter.
I've actually seen it.
I've actually been on Black Lives Matter Plaza.
And again, this mural's been there since 2020. Well, you know, it's not even correct to call it a mural.
Yeah, I'm surprised you haven't seen...
I don't know if you can drive on it, because we've seen in so many cities where they painted the crosswalks the rainbow colors to support LGBTQI +, whatever new additional vowel or consonant has been added to that running.
But in this case, it's yellow.
It's really just garish.
It fits well, actually.
The whole concept.
But the fact that it's going to be painted over.
Here's what she said.
Quote, The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern.
Our focus is on economic growth, public safety, and supporting our residents affected by these cuts.
Now, her words came just a day after Georgia Rep.
Andrew Clyde, he's a Republican, introduced a new measure seeking to withhold funds from D.C. if the plaza is not renamed Liberty Plaza.
So the bill was set to undergo review from the House Committees on Agriculture and Infrastructure.
It urged officials to remove the Black Lives Matter phrase.
The graffiti on the street from each website document and other material under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia.
Now, legislatures have encouraged to eradicate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts from all facets of government since Trump's second administration.
Really what this truly is, it's an anti-white blood libel.
I know you didn't pay attention to the Super Bowl, Mr. Taylor, but one of the great things about the Super Bowl was the NFL actually removed from the end zones and racism.
Which had been put up after the George Floyd fracas back in 2021. I'm sure they didn't replace it with Make America Great Again, but at least one step at a time.
Yeah.
So one of the great things, again, this is the whole concept of Republicans introducing legislation to overturn the Democrats and D.C.'s home rule law.
Mike Lee and Rep.
Andy Ogles introduced the bringing oversight to Washington and safety to return every resident act.
They called it the Bowser Act in early February, an effort to repeal D.C.'s autonomous style of government.
They cited crime rates and corruption.
I would have just cited the consequences of black rule in that city and what happens afterwards as a reason.
Same thing, same thing.
Exactly.
No, it's synonymous.
So if passed, of course, the measure would repeal DC's local legislative functions within a year, which I actually still hope hopes happen.
DC is a beautiful city that is in great need of far more than just the Black Lives Matter graffiti being removed.
But a lot of other things.
There's a massive museum that is a blight on the mall now.
By the way, have you been there yet to that?
I've been.
I've been.
African American History Museum.
Yes, I have.
It was quite crowded and full of black people, unlike any other museum on the Mall.
You can go to the Museum of Natural History, go to the Museum of American History, you can go to the Air and Space Museum.
It's as if you were in Sweden.
Well, not Sweden anymore, Sweden the way it used to be.
But that Black History Museum, a lot of black people, they just want to learn all this blackity-black stuff.
Yes, yes, yes, and always supposed to come out of there feeling just so bad about being white.
But, you know, well, this being the case with the BLM, all that, you know, that's what it is.
It's graffiti.
That's the word I was struggling for.
Mural is completely wrong.
It's graffiti.
It happens to take up a full city block or more, but that's what it is.
Graffiti.
Basically, if I could, before we move on, it's tagging.
You know, the whole bunch of gangs, you tag an area when it's your territory.
And the whole idea of Black Lives Matter Plaza, it was basically blacks saying to Trump, they're tagging the area.
This is ours, pal.
This is our city now.
This is what we believe.
What are you going to do about it?
They've been saying that a long time.
Chocolate City, you know.
Chocolate City.
Of course, as I understand it, though, isn't the population of Washington, D.C. becoming less and less black all the time?
Pretty soon, with all these Hispanics, blacks are going to be a minority.
It's not going to be Chocolate City anymore.
It's going to be, what is it, guacamole.
Who knows?
Well, actually, right before, you know, you have to go back five years.
Sorry I said, you know, I hate saying that.
Five years ago, D.C. was on pace to be like Atlanta.
It was very close to being a majority white city again.
You know, D.C. up until you've done, you published the data on Washington, D.C. Greg Hood did a story about the Great Replacement.
Washington, D.C. was a majority white city for...
Up until about 1950, 1960, when the riots happened, and if you read Pat Buchanan's autobiography, he talks about what it was like to grow up in what he called a southern city, and D.C. is a southern city, or it was, and up until, you know...
It's not even an American city anymore.
No, no, no.
It's a city of everybody who goes there to sell out American interests.
And what was a more un-American idea than Black Lives Matter, tagged by the black, well, the very light-skinned black mayor of D.C. Muriel Bowser is a very light-skinned black woman to begin with.
So she definitely passes the brown paper bag test.
Well, I think this is the right moment then to talk about a story that I was going to talk about later, namely the fact that Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire has launched a campaign urging President Donald Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin.
Yeah.
We know who Derek Chauvin was.
He was convicted of sending George Floyd to his reward back on May 25th, I believe, of 2020. And he was convicted in 2021. Spiro says George Floyd was high on fentanyl.
He had a significant pre-existing heart condition.
He was saying he could not breathe before he was even out of the car.
He was in the car saying he couldn't breathe.
The autopsy showed he had no damage to his trachea, could not have been strangled, and he probably died of excited delirium.
There were no accusations even at trial that Chauvin had committed a hate crime or had targeted Floyd because of his race.
No, he targeted because you're trying to use counterfeit currency.
The Daily Wire has launched a website, PardonDerek.com.
I've not visited it, but I might go sign it there too.
People can sign a petition urging Trump to pardon his federal charges.
Of course, even if Trump were to pardon Chauvin, the state charges would still remain and he would stay in prison.
He needs a state pardon as well.
In November 2023, he was stabbed in prison and required life-saving measures.
Not good to be a police officer in jail to begin with, and if you're the police officer who's alleged to have murdered St. George, things are even worse.
He was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for Floyd's death, and no, I think it would be wonderful if he were let out.
That was a terrible, terrible miscarriage of justice.
You know, that would be a very difficult thing to do, because all of the BLM madness had to do with this alleged brutal murder by an American police officer of an undefending, unoffending black man.
And all of that rioting, all of that destruction, all of that, what do they call it, the racial reconciliation, what do they call it, the racial...
The racial reconciliation.
Yes, yes, yes.
All that racial reckoning will have to be shown in retrospect to have been racial foolishness.
That would be a very, very tough thing for the country to swallow, but it would be a wonderful sanity pill.
And we'll see if Donald Trump can be persuaded to take that very important step.
Well, if I could take this a step further and actually show you, this is like that great scene in Casablanca where the French official there talks about how the prevailing wind is blowing from the Vichy government.
That's the way he goes.
And that's kind of the way I look at what Ben Shapiro is doing right now.
You're seeing a lot of the top conservative influencers who were really terrible.
During the Trump administration, Ben Shapiro, Benny Johnson, a lot of these guys were awful on the Covington kids.
That incident in 2019 with the Indian and the high school students and the Make America Great Again hats, if you remember that.
They've all jumped to the worst conclusions on a lot of this stuff.
In fact, Shapiro's been terrible on a lot of things.
And this is one of those moments.
Where you're starting to see some of these top individuals try and jump to the front of the narrative that this pushback is happening.
You just used that word about the racial reckoning and coming to our senses.
White people for so long have been under this amnesia.
We've forgotten who we are.
Not us.
Not us.
We're trying to remind people who they are.
And now...
You're starting to see some of these ideas not only percolate, but really be the main things driving the conversation.
The whole DEI narrative and pushback has been absolutely amazing to watch, the way that that is now synonymous with clients.
Yes, yes, I agree.
I agree.
It's amazing the number of people who seem to have turned on a dime.
And that's why this moment is so important to realize who's pushing it and to realize, you know, this is a guy who was the guest of, I think, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, Shapiro and Matt Walsh for The Daily Wire.
They were both mentioned by Trump during the State of the Union.
And these type of conversations are – this is the type of stuff that the president and – I'll go one step further.
Probably the most important person on the planet right now in Elon Musk, they're talking about this stuff.
And Elon Musk tweeted it out.
You know, this is an interesting idea.
And you're right.
The ramifications of such an act being done, just even ceremoniously.
Oh my goodness, you're talking about the past five years being removed.
It would be an earthquake, an absolute earthquake.
I'm not sure that Donald Trump's got it in him.
To provoke such an earthquake.
But what that would mean would be a serious re-examination of all the evidence.
And if anybody looks at the evidence with any kind of care or objectivity at all, I think you have to conclude that Derek Chauvin and all those other guys, the other guys went to jail too.
All those guys are utterly innocent.
They did their police work entirely by the book.
And they had what the cops call an eggshell.
An eggshell criminal on their hands.
You just can't step on him wrong and he'll crack.
These people, he was going to die anyway of an overdose.
No, it would be an absolutely wonderful earthquake.
We'll see.
But let's see.
What's the next story here?
Right.
We've got, we had an unusual wedding.
This was out in California.
A fellow named Anthony Avila Puebla.
He was a guest at a wedding ceremony, but he ultimately went missing right in the midst of the service.
It was found out later that he had a relationship with a family member of the bride.
And so while the wedding ceremony was going on, he slipped out and he went to the bride's home.
And he parked in front of the house and took a five-gallon jug of some sort of flammable liquid from his car and he ended the building and he was later seen on video leaving the building with an empty jug and coming back several times with more jugs.
And then video shows that just a few moments later there was an enormous explosion in the house.
And it blew bricks and debris across the road, hitting cars and nearby buildings before the home became engulfed in a huge tower of flame and thick smoke.
I saw this video.
Very, very impressive.
It looks like something out of an action movie.
And Avila Puebla is never seen leaving the home.
So he appears to have been a goner.
Several units of the building were affected, displacing 11 families in total.
The home was uninsured at the time of the explosion, and so the newlywed, a woman named Eleni, she was still in her wedding dress, and when she went back to the house and saw smoke pouring from her childhood home.
Now, this is such a peculiar story to me.
And I'm just trying to figure out, nobody seems to know why this guy, who was apparently a friend of the family, invited to the wedding, knew other people in the family, why, while the wedding was going on, he slipped out and blew the home up.
I'm just baffled by this.
I guess it's one of those things.
It's a Hispanic thing, Mr. Kersey.
You and I just wouldn't understand.
But very sad, very sad for this lady who, right in the wedding ceremony, one of the invited guests goes out and blows her home up and then dies in the process.
Well, that's just life in the fast lane, I guess.
Well, Mr. Kersey, you have a story about Mr. Trump has got new deportation plans.
Yeah, this is breaking as we speak today on, like you said, March 6th.
U.S. immigration agents are planning a new operation to arrest migrant families.
With children as part of a nationwide crackdown.
The operation will target adults and minor children who enter the country together and have orders of deportation, the source said.
After the families are arrested, agents will place them into detention facilities before they are removed.
A separate operation to find children who entered the United States unaccompanied and were released without court dates is also underway.
The sources said lawyers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement are now working to secure warrants to enter homes and conduct the arrests.
Spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Now, during the 2024 campaign, Trump and border czar Tom Homan said that plans for mass deportations would initially focus on migrants who had committed crimes.
Now, the new plans for national operations show that many of the families and children to be targeted do not have criminal histories.
Doesn't matter.
They're illegal.
They don't belong here.
Get them out.
As Trump said, Mr. Taylor, during his State of the Union, he talked about how Eisenhower was a moderate.
But he did a lot of great things when it came to the mass deportations.
And he said very ominously and foreshadowing that we were going to see mass deportations on a scale vastly larger than, quote-unquote, Operation Wetback.
Oh, by the way, did he use the expression Operation Wetback?
He did not use that term.
Ah, too bad.
He did not.
I don't think he's ever utilized that word in describing the impending, hopefully I'm using that correctly, impending.
Hopefully that it's not just something that is stated and doesn't ever come to pass, but the impending soon-to-be inevitable mass deportations.
Many people are disappointed at the pace so far, but I have hopes.
No, again, it takes time.
And again, a lot of people have talked.
The most important thing that's happened that he touted, Mr. Taylor, was the fact that the attempts for illegals to even get to the United States now are at...
Oh, yes.
It's astonishing to see what's happened there.
That alone, that alone is worth the election.
In fact, before he was elected, that's what I was saying.
Whatever he does, he won't let in the next 20 million illegal immigrants that Kamala Harris was sure to let in.
That alone is worth voting for.
Correct.
And it takes time to get the infrastructure built up, to get the engine revved up for deportations.
And I think one of the most important things we're going to see that won't be available right away in terms of the numbers are the people who start to self-deport, who start to go home.
And I think one of the things to watch is to see the amount of money that is actually sent back from Western Union into other places, because we should be taxing remittances.
For those who don't know, that's the illegals or the Indians.
I mean, goodness, we're going to talk about Indians here in a second.
You know, the amount of money that is sent back from the United States to India is absurd and shocking and disgusting.
But let alone, and those are for legal H-1B people.
But obviously, for Hispanics to Mexico, the amount of money that's sent back home, you could easily tax that.
And it would bring hundreds of millions, if not billions, to the United States just from tax remittances to Mexico alone.
But I think you're going to start seeing that number start to decline, and that'll be a sign of the self-deportations that are happening.
So there are a lot of metrics you can start to look at over the next six months.
It won't happen right away.
Mr. Trump's only been in office since, what, January 20th?
That's right.
That's right.
It's only been six weeks.
Give him time.
We really start to see the media howl.
That's when we know the effectiveness of this administration.
Well, I think it is brilliant to be exporting these people with children because that is a pretty clear message.
These are not just the rapists and the hatchet murderers and the big drug dealers.
These are people who are under deportation order for one reason or another.
No criminal record, apparently, but they've got to go.
Children at all.
No.
Separation of families.
We'll keep them together.
Maybe they're anchor babies.
That's a good thing to do.
That's what Homan said.
We'll deport them together.
That's right.
Deported together stays together, right?
They're going to have to weigh anchor and set sail.
Complete family all together.
But in the meantime...
In the meantime, anti-ICE activists are putting up posters with the personal information of ICE and Homeland Security Investigations officers who are working in the Southern California area.
These posters are written in Spanish.
And they say, watch out for these faces.
And they show photographs of people.
And they say, these armed agents, this is all in Spanish, this is a translation, these armed agents work in Southern California.
ICE and HSI, that's Homeland Security Investigations, racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies.
They kidnap people from their homes and from the streets, separating families and fracturing communities.
Many people have died locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers.
What an ICE spokesman says, these pathetic activists are putting targets on the back of our agents and are shielding MS-13, Trenda, Aragua and other vicious gangs.
Any individual who impedes law enforcement operations, threatens the safety of law enforcement agents and is subject to investigation and potential prosecution.
But I thought that's interesting.
People are putting up, I wonder if it's actual Mexicans or Guatemalans or Salvadorans doing this or whether it is Antifa who are pretending to be Mexicans or Salvadorans.
Interesting.
But this is once again a sign that important things are going on and the people who need to go are noticing.
Absolutely wonderful.
Another little story here.
This is from the Washington Post.
This was, oh, I guess about a week and a half ago.
But the Post reported that six Washington, D.C. girls, ages 11, 11, 12, 13, 13, and 14. I'll repeat that.
11, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14 launched what WAPO called an egregious attack on a random woman in broad daylight.
One of the girls repeatedly kicked and punched the woman dragged around by their hair while the others joined in.
One girl videoed the attack and egged the others on.
This was proudly posted on the Internet.
And that's how it came to the attention of the Washington, D.C. police.
WAPO continues.
Detectives' investigation revealed the suspects potentially were motivated by hate or bias.
Now, amazingly, WAPO continues with this.
D.C. law lists a range of categories where demonstrated prejudice can result in more severe criminal penalties.
In addition to race, color, religion, and gender identity, these include several that may be less well-known, including homelessness, disability, and political affiliation.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I'm sure...
These six girls, aged 11, 11, 12, 13, 13, and 14, went after somebody because of political affiliation.
I'm sure that was it.
But after this long story, in which they go into the details of D.C. hate criminal law, not once did the Post mention what the bias might have been in this case.
Nothing about race of perps or of victim.
And naturally, the story has disappeared.
This struck me as one of the most absolutely hilarious stories I've seen in a long time.
These young girls attack somebody in broad daylight, film it, put it on the video, put the video up on the internet and brag about it, are arrested, and we get this long song and dance about what the possible causes there to be if this is a hate crime, and then we know nothing about what could have been the hate crime.
Now, I've been back to check every day to see if we have any more reports on this.
Nothing at all.
Now, what's your guess?
What's your guess, Mr. Kersey, as to the form of bias?
Do you think it might have been homelessness?
Do you think these girls attacked a homeless lady, a bag lady, and beat her to bits?
You know what?
Maybe it had something to do with the Black Lives Matter graffiti being removed.
I don't know.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I saw you tweet about this, and it's one of those moments where you realize that you're probably the only people in the country who read their article and thought to mention it and be like, hey, why aren't there so many important details being left out and delineated?
I mean, Jeff Bezos talked about revamping the whole WAPO editorial.
Can he do the whole thing with the journalism actually being produced by WAPO and make sure we're getting the actual stories?
Can't have that.
Can't have that.
You know, there was actually, I did find a press release from the Washington City Police Department, and they were slapping themselves on the back that their detective had gotten to work and tracked these girls down.
There were maybe three more that had been involved, and they were on their hunt, too.
And they did have a telephone number.
Maybe I just called them up and asked them, well, what was the hate crime?
Was it, you know, a bunch of...
Danish tourists, you know, who somehow left their parents behind and attacked a black homeless lady.
This is...
I just can't get over it.
Well, it's about time I got over it.
Well, Mr. Kersey, you have a story about promising films that were disqualified for the Oscars, and why?
Yeah, this is one of those stories.
I didn't watch the Oscars.
I watched Wind of the Lion on Sunday night.
You ever seen that movie, by the way?
Wind and the Lion?
Wind and the Lion.
It's a John Milius 1975 film about the abduction of a white family by the Barbary Pirates and Teddy Roosevelt sends over.
It's a fantastic film.
John Milius directed it.
And I watched that instead, but as I was kind of playing around on Twitter, I was reading about what was happening at the Academy Awards, and I came across this article.
Oscars disqualified Reagan for Best Picture for not meeting DEI requirements, a screenwriter said.
So the biopic starring Dennis Quaid did not receive a single nomination at the Academy Awards this year.
According to the film Screenwriter, the title was disqualified for consideration because it did not meet the Academy's new DEI requirements.
Now, Mr. Taylor, you and I have spoken about this before, what they instituted.
We said this.
Howard Klosner said, we were among 116 films that were eliminated for consideration this year.
One second here.
I think the situation speaks for itself.
There's not really anger and indignation among those of us who made this film.
We didn't seriously expect to be nominated for anything by Hollywood in this cultural climate.
It's just sadness, really.
What has become of the magnificent dream factory that once was Hollywood?
Once upon a time, it spoke to the heart and dreams of pretty much everybody, he said, and the leaders and luminaries of the 20th century industry intuitively seemed to get So for background, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences updated guidelines in 2024 to require any film in consideration for Best Picture to meet two out of four DEI-focused concepts.
Those concepts include featuring a main character from an underrepresented group, having at least 30% of all actors in minor roles come from at least two underrepresented groups, And a main storyline centered around an unrepresented group.
Moreover, a film must utilize at least two creative leadership positions, such as casting director, cinematographer, costume designer, makeup artist, or others from specific underrepresented groups.
Now, what does underrepresented groups mean, do you think?
Well, I understand.
I understand that being an LGBTQ++ +, whatever it is, that is considered underrepresented.
But my impression is that group is overrepresented in Hollywood.
Yeah, one of my favorite stories is when Mel Gibson made Braveheart.
One of his co-stars looked around and said, gosh, I've never actually had makeup artists and costume designers who are all straight.
Is that right?
That's right.
Because Mel Gibson, he was a director and he financed a lot of it.
Well, you know, I guess if you have a heterosexual costume designer, then you should qualify for a DEI Oscar.
That's right.
So it lists include women, racial minorities, and like you said, members of the LGBTQIA plus community.
So in other words, the Oscars no longer award the best film, but the best film among those that prioritize diversity over screenwriting and storytelling.
Going back and looking at some of the, you know, films that would have been disqualified over the past 20-30 years, perhaps if you're going to go back and retroactively I mean,
I mean, basically some of the most powerful movies that have ever been made that still resonate today that are still watched and rewatched would be disqualified because they lacked a individual from a underrepresented group as part of the storyline.
I guess the screenwriters and the actors and directors who participated in the making of those films would have to plead and say, well, we had a lot of LGBTQ plus people who were behind the scenes if that were to happen.
And I do believe, by the way, that if things had progressed in a different manner, and they still could, by the way.
You know, who knows what's going to happen in 2028.
You've got Gavin Newsom now going on Charlie Kirk's podcast.
Talking about how, you know, he's gone too far, how the Democrats have gone too far when it comes to women participating in women's sports.
So you're seeing backtracking now.
But again, the election was very close and we'd be, you know, who knows what would what would be happening had Kamala Harris won in 2024 or had Hillary won in 2016.
I mean, that's how curious I'm afraid.
I'm afraid we have all too well an idea of what would have been happening.
Yes, yes, we know all too well.
And no, you're absolutely right.
It was really a razor's edge kind of result.
And yes, he did win the popular vote, but it was not an actual majority of the popular vote.
Didn't he only get about 49%?
And the rest of them went for one of these minor candidates who might have been even worse than Kamala, these minor lefties.
No, the way immigration is going and birth rates are going, this is not a sure thing.
This could be back in the hole in no time at all.
No, it could be back in the hole in no time at all in a far more terrifying manner.
We need to start talking about moving forward.
Because, again, it's shocking to see the discourse now by conservatives.
In a lot of ways, I keep hearing about how, you know, what's the purpose of American Renaissance anymore when all these people are talking as if they've been reading the site for years, which they have, by the way, because I know them all.
And trust me, I know all these people who are big-time conservatives.
But the point is...
Now's the time to really push the pedal down.
Yes, yes.
We have to make these gains permanent, and I am not at all confident that they will be permanent.
Because, for example, Michael Moore, he's a great example.
He was quoted as saying, just the other day, who's being removed by ICE tonight?
The child who had discovered the cure for cancer in 2046?
The ninth-grade nerd who would have stopped the asteroid that's going to hit us in 2032?
Moore wrote this in a Substack post published just on Tuesday.
And in an attempt to make his point, the director went on to cite the father of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Abdul Fattah Jandali.
I must say, I'd never heard the name of Steve Jobs' father, but Abdul Fatah Jandali was born in Syria.
And Steve Moore says, we get nothing from that Syrian Muslim who sired a junior Abdul Fatah, a nothing migrant with a nothing out of wedlock baby, he said, except that nothing baby was soon adopted and given an American name, Steve Jobs.
I'm grateful for that Muslim migrant baby.
I guess I didn't really know the background of Jobs, but this Muslim had an Adelaide wedlock baby and gave him up for adoption, and that was Steve Jobs.
And Moore goes on to say, that happened 70 years ago today, and because that hadn't happened, it's possible we would have none of his wonderful inventions.
He even suggested he's much more enlightened than the 77.3 million Americans who voted for President Trump, whom he called...
He goes on to say those of us who count ourselves as part of the non-hater demographic of Americans cannot even begin to add up or ascertain the innumerable ways our lives have been made better by our beloved immigrant neighbors.
The guy who tomorrow was going to help rebuild a children's playground across town.
He's now in shackles on a military cargo plane on his way to Guatemala.
Still my beating heart.
I hope that's true.
I hope that's true.
I've actually heard that they've stopped using military planes for deportations.
It's expensive.
It's very expensive.
Trains and boats are far cheaper.
Yeah, put them in a kayak.
Just turn them loose with a paddle.
But what is this guy?
This guy seems to think that if we just let in a billion people, we will find at least one Steve Jobs among them.
And it doesn't matter if we've got rapists and murderers and gangsters.
There might be one good one.
What a crazy cuckoo guy.
Does this guy understand nothing about numbers?
I wonder if anybody still cares about Michael Moore.
Is he still making movies, by the way?
I don't think he's making any documentaries.
He's living off the prestige of Roger and Me and Bowling Alone.
No, I'm sorry.
The Columbine, Bowling for Columbine movie.
Didn't he do Fahrenheit 9-11?
Fahrenheit 9-11.
That's what he's best known for.
That's one of his last ones.
He might have done some other documentary.
But, you know, again, all he does is go out there and do what he can to position himself to be on the side of the people who are trying to do everything they can to destroy our country.
You know, destroy our civilization.
It's not just our country.
It's a civilization that every individual who traces their lineage to Europe has helped create.
Like you said, I do believe Albion Seed is a great thing.
We just need a little bit of trimming right now.
There's a lot of weeds that need trimming, and Albion Seed has still done a very good thing.
Well, Mr. Kersey, we have come to the end of our time, as always happens.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, it is always a pleasure, a joy, an honor.
To spend this time with you.
And it will be our pleasure, joy and honor to spend this time with you again next week.
