Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor.
With me is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey, and today is March 25th, Anno Domini 2025.
And as usual, Mr. Kersey, we're going to start with listener comments.
This is a particularly provocative one.
A listener writes in to say, I often hear you profess that you wish to uphold truth.
And would be loathe to be one that participates in perpetuating lies or misinformation.
That's true.
I often worry about the possibility.
We might say things that are mistaken, and I always like it when people write in and tell us we have goofed.
Our listener goes on to say, while this is a more than commendable principle to live by in your day-to-day life.
Would you not agree that it would be more prudent that for a cause as critical as the survival of our race and our civilization that we may need to place truth in the backseat behind victory, particularly when those who seek our annihilation themselves lie to achieve their own victory over us?
Well, there are a couple of premises here.
I think there are very, very few people who actually seek our annihilation.
And I suspect most of the time the people who, oh, downplay the misbehavior of non-whites and go searching wildly for the misbehavior of our people, I don't think they are deliberately lying so much as trying to be on the side of the angels.
I just don't think there is nearly as much malevolence out there as there is conformity and cowardice, and yes, a certain amount of malevolence towards our people.
But our listeners on to say, if preaching or living by the truth will cost us ultimate victory, should truth not be sacrificed?
Well, yes, that's true.
If living by the truth ends in our going extinct, I would agree with that.
But most of the time, I do not think, in fact, very rarely can I think of circumstances under which...
Lies, at least in the current state of our engagement with opposing forces, lies are useful.
Lies will be caught out ordinarily if we make up so-called facts, if we deliberately misinterpret things, if we try to deceive people and hide the truth.
I don't think that is to our advantage at all.
I've said many times on this podcast and elsewhere that science, for example, the facts, the truth, what really happened in history, all of those are on our side because we are right and they are wrong.
Almost never can I imagine trying to try.
Hide the facts.
Now, if you are in real war, as Churchill is supposed to have said, in wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
Well, under those circumstances, yes.
But we are not in that kind of war at this point.
We're in a war of ideas.
A war of arguments.
And under those circumstances, I think deception almost never works.
It gets found out in the end.
And one of, I believe, the great weaknesses of the people who oppose us is that they so often are.
So easy to catch up in terms of ignoring things, maybe sometimes even concocting things, so that I believe certainly at this stage of any kind of engagement, it is far to our advantage to stick to the truth at all times.
Now, there's things we might emphasize and things we might de-emphasize, but...
Cooking things up or deliberately concealing things, I think most of the time that is not going to help us.
And in fact, if we have a reputation of sticking to the facts, speaking about history in terms realistically about what things happened, what people's motives were as best we can imagine them, I think that is by far the best course for us at this stage.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you who always have ideas about things, how do you see this?
No, we don't need to lie, but I also think we need to also be very honest about where we are.
And I just got done reading a book, Mr. Taylor, on Denmark Vesey.
Obviously familiar with him, but I'd like to just point out that, just to show you where I believe we are, there's a statue of Denmark Vesey in Charleston, South Carolina, that was put up in 2014.
And I'm reading the Preservation Society of Charleston, and all it says about him...
And what he tried to do was that he was able to purchase his freedom in 1799 and that he was found guilty of trying to lead a revolution to free all black slaves in Charleston and lead a mass immigration to Haiti.
That's what the Preservation Society says, Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
They were just going to march peacefully out to the boats and bugger off, right?
Actually, what he wanted to do was basically kill every white person in Charleston.
Exactly. Exactly.
And I'm not making this up.
So here's to juxtapose what you just said.
There's a statue to a black man in Charleston, South Carolina, that remembers a guy who wanted to kill every living white person.
Not that long after the revolution in San Domingo, and he was hanged for this.
He didn't want to lead people to Haiti first.
He wanted to kill all the white people after freeing the slaves.
It's hard to say what his number one motive was, but you could perhaps argue, and I read a book about him once, he did seem to put those two goals more or less on the same footing, kill all the whites.
But you've got to do that in order to make a clean break and disappear.
I don't quite understand the point you're making.
This says nothing about whether or not we should stick to the truth.
Oh, no, no, no.
We should stick to the truth and always point out, hey, you're commemorating a guy who wanted to...
Who wanted to kill all the white people in Charleston back in the mid-1800s.
Why are we doing this again?
And we should ask those questions, truthfully, to seek out.
Why are you seeking to venerate, to commemorate, to celebrate?
Oh, yes.
Absolutely, we must be perfectly willing under all circumstances to ask those questions.
I think that's one of the worst things about our side, not...
That we fail to be deceptive.
I think our great failure is that we fail to be courageous.
And on that same token, Mr. Taylor, I think that looking at what's happened in Charleston since then, of course, we saw the John C. Calhoun statue was taken down in 2020.
Of course, obviously, the Confederate flag was removed from the State House in 2015.
It has nothing to do with being insufficiently deceitful.
It has to do with being insufficiently courageous.
That is where we make so many of our mistakes.
So many white people who realize in their heart that this is outrageous.
They just sit tight.
They sit quiet because they know they'll be hooted at.
Or they are afraid they'll be hooted at.
That, to me, is our great weakness.
Not the fact that we're not devious in this stuff.
I don't like...
I think anybody who listens to this...
If it's necessary to be devious in order to win when the time comes, okay, I am prepared to be devious.
But that time is certainly not now.
We're not in war such that the truth is so precious that you should always be guarded by a bodyguard of lies.
And that's when you're going all out.
Other people are trying to kill you literally right now, face to face.
Those are different circumstances.
No, all we need is a megaphone of truth, and I think we'll see the reality of how courageous a number of people are now.
And we're going to talk about that today on the podcast, of really what's happening around the world.
And I think one of the really big white pill moments of this century so far is one of the stories we'll talk about.
So that's a tease.
Okay, I'm being teased.
Now, another comment.
From a listener, it was odd to hear Shakespeare described as homophobic.
Well, this wasn't by us, of course.
This is the people who run the Shakespeare Trust and Stratford-on-Avon, the people who are supposed to be keeping the bard's memory alive, but they are decolonizing him, and so they have decided that they're going to hold up all his sins.
All of his 17th century sins have to be held up so that everyone will know just how awful a guy he was.
I'm sorry, it's 16th century, wasn't it?
The Elizabethan era.
Yes, I was about to be slapped down by our ruthless fact checkers.
But be that as it may, he's being criticized for being homophobic, among many other things.
Our listener writes in quite correctly to say, not only is there a lot of cross-dressing in his plays.
Well, yes.
And one of the funny things about when in Shakespeare's plays, I decide to disguise myself as Paul Kersey.
I do it so successfully that people who know us both think I'm Paul Kersey.
This is, oh, A Comedy of Errors, for example, this happens.
There are a couple of other plays.
I disguise myself as, I don't know, Jennifer Lopez.
And people coming along, oh, there's Jennifer Lopez.
It's really quite an astonishing thing.
So it's almost more than cross-dressing.
Wow. In any case, yes, cross-dressing.
Also, he'll say, he says, I will let the real scholars inform you better than I could.
But there's also one thing your listeners should know about Shakespeare, that his first 20 sonnets are marvelous exhortations to reproduction.
And he quotes from one of the sonnets, from fairest creatures we desire increase.
There are many sonnets like that, just exhorting a beautiful person to reproduce.
Now is the time that face should make another, etc., etc.
It's really quite remarkable.
And in that respect, I think Shakespeare, and this person is pointing out, Shakespeare is saying this not with a specific racial message, because all the people he knew were white.
But beautiful people, superior people, they should make children and make lots of them.
And here, here for William Shakespeare.
Our listener goes on to say, an article in the New Yorker of March 3rd titled The End of Children shows how crazy and miserable a country can become when its people lose the desire to survive.
And apparently it is about what's happening now in South Korea.
And that could very well be the fate.
Of many Western countries, ours included.
Now, that really sounds quite interesting to me.
Korea, of course, I think, isn't their total fertility rate per women about 1?
It's below North Korea, so it makes you wonder a couple things.
Is it below 1?
I said it's below North Korea.
I think it's hovering around.
1.1.
There are a couple of Asian places.
I know in Singapore and Hong Kong, it's below 1. This is just catastrophic.
The high IQ races are failing to reproduce.
It's just a terrible thing.
This is without precedent in the history of the world.
People are just sort of giving up.
Well, you know, children, who cares?
You know, Mr. Taylor, it's an anecdote.
I'm in my late 30s and early 40s around there.
Make up your mind.
I'm saying that for a reason.
Yes, I understand.
My point is this.
The happiest people I know, and I myself have children, but the happiest people that I know are some of my friends who have three or four kids.
And their wives don't work.
And basically, they've got this idyllic life that it's so...
I don't know if it's antiquated in a way, but you live in a world now where people my age have to work.
Both spouses work.
But the people that are the happiest, that have the best marriages, are those who have reproduced beyond the 2.5 kids.
And I've got a couple friends who are actually having children into their early 40s, their fourth or fifth child.
And it's really cool to see.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I was 50 when my last child was born, so it is not impossible.
Unfortunately, that was merely my second.
I wish that had been my fifth.
That is my great regret in life, as I've said many, many times, that I have only...
So, I've failed.
At least, I'm not a total failure.
Well, we've got a lot to cover, Mr. Kersey.
So, I would, first of all, explain to our listeners how to reach us.
You can write to amran.com or go to amran.com and click on the Contact Us tab.
And from there, you can send a message that comes straight to me.
And we'd love to hear from you, especially if we make mistakes, if we have missed an important story.
Whatever you think about whatever we've said.
We would like to hear from you.
And the other way to get in touch with us is through Mr. Kersey.
Yeah, shoot me an email, becausewelivehereatprotonmail.com or becausewelivehereatproton.me.
And Mr. Taylor, I'd be remiss if we didn't highlight the fact that both you and I are on Twitter X. I'm at the handle at BWLH underscore, and you can be found...
At... J-A-R-T-A-Y-L-O-R.
But that's not a particularly good way to get a comment on the podcast to us, because we will not necessarily read all of our comments to all of our posts.
This is just an advertisement.
Okay, now, Mr. Kersey, in one of your spasms of true genius, you came up with the expression, expiring rapper.
Because so many young thugs, they're arrested by the police, they get shot to death, and they're lovingly described as an aspiring rapper.
But as I have said many times, I think being a rapper is probably the most dangerous profession in the world, perhaps in the history of the world, aside from being a gladiator, perhaps.
So you came up with the expression, expiring rapper.
I thought that was really quite brilliant.
And we haven't had many expiring rappers, but we have had two back-to-back.
Just this last week, authorities believe that rapper Sauce Walker, W-A-L-K-A, was a target of a deadly double shooting outside a Memphis hotel.
The Houston-born rapper, age 34, and another man was shot around 2.42 on Saturday.
That sounds like during daylight hours, multiple suspects arrived in a vehicle, pulled up to the victims who were standing outside a car, and blazed away without exchanging any words.
Yep, that sounds like a targeted shooting.
And after shooting, the shooters buggered off.
Sauce Walker, the rapper, suffered a gunshot wound in his leg, but is expected to survive.
The second victim died from his injuries.
Well, unconfirmed reports claim that this so far not officially identified man was Say So P. He too is a rapper.
He signed on to Sauce Waka's independent label, The Sauce Factory.
So we could have had two expired rappers for the price of one, but due to bad shooting, only one expired rapper.
Sauce Waka used to be a member of a rap group called Most Head Giver.
All one word, in case you're wondering.
Before he started releasing solo tapes in 2014.
So that means he's been at it since 2014 and beyond.
He's gone on for a long time.
A long-lived rapper.
He's also an entrepreneur who has a wide variety of business ventures, including a boxing gym, a retail gym, and real estate.
So he has lived to rap another day.
On the other hand, a Texas rapper.
By the name of Lil, this is the usual L-I-L apostrophe, Lil Ronnie Sibley.
He was at a car wash in Forest Hill, Texas.
He was parked and vacuuming the inside of his car.
Gotta have a snazzy ride if you're a rapper, you know.
And his five-year-old daughter was in the passenger seat.
Two men rounded the corner of the building and both immediately opened fire, firing repeatedly in the direction of the Dodge Challenger that Lil Ronnie Sibley was vacuuming.
Sibley tried to run, but they chased him down, cornered him, and continued to shoot.
The shooters were armed with an assault-style rifle and more than one handgun.
Well, there were only two of them, so that's at least three weapons for two people.
Sibley and his young daughter, who was still in the passenger seat, were pronounced dead.
Yes, this is really quite terrible.
This five-year-old girl.
You see photographs of her?
She seems like the cutest little girl.
Shot dead just because her dad is a rapper.
His full name was...
Yes. His full name was G Dollar Sign Lil Ronnie.
I don't know how you pronounce G Dollar Sign.
And his five-year-old daughter was Ramani Sibley.
R apostrophe Mani.
And at the funeral, many attendees wore pink.
Those were little girl Romani's favorite color.
Others wore t-shirts that said Chucky and Chink.
Those were the nicknames for the rapper and his daughter.
I don't know which was which.
And Forest Hill Mayor Pro Tem Keith Smith said he's worn his bright pink blazer to every official event since the shooting on March 3rd.
And the funeral was about just a few days ago.
So, this guy apparently was quite a beloved fellow in the community.
But the two suspects, Adonis Robinson and Jacoby Russell, have been arrested and charged with capital murder.
A listener called this to our attention, and he included some of G. Dollar Sign, Lil Ronnie's lyrics, and suggested I read them on the air.
Ordinarily, I'd be happy to get a laugh out of them, but in this case, out of respect for our money.
That poor, cute little five-year-old girl.
I don't think I will.
Her death just seems so awful.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I'm not an expert on the Mafia, but didn't it make a point of not hurting the children and wives of rivals?
I seem to recall the motto was, you don't touch the women or the kids.
I believe that was a rule of the Mafia.
I'm not up to speed also.
I don't really watch Mafia movies or reunion.
I believe that was the deal.
That is one of the rules governing decorum within that community.
Yeah. Well, moving on.
A Pennsylvania city worker was accused Monday of staging a fake hate crime after she planted a noose on her own desk and screeched about racism.
Allentown City Hall employee LaTarsha Brown was charged with a pair of criminal counts after DNA removed from the noose turned out to match hers.
She made the discovery at her desk on January 10th, that's quite some time ago, leading to an investigation and a community protest.
She had, of course, just at that period, been claiming the city of Allentown discriminates against her for racial reasons.
I'm sure she felt this would add to the gravitas of her complaints.
Well, during the investigation, it was a big full-scale investigation.
They pull out all the stops.
I don't think they called in the FBI, but I wouldn't have been surprised if they had.
Every employee who could have put the noose on her desk was asked to submit DNA, which they cheerfully did, except for LaTarsha.
She was initially very cooperative in the investigation, but...
When she was asked to produce a DNA sample, she refused and she asked that the investigation be discontinued.
Oh dear.
Well, that is a clear sign that something is fishy, Mr. Kersey, but they got a court order and she came up with a sample and it matched.
Now, Allentown Mayor Matt Twerk, it's spelled T-U-E-R-K, not T-W-E-R-K, thank goodness for him.
It adds to a certain dimension of the story, though, doesn't it?
Yes, Matt Tuwerk.
We will make a point of it, calling it Tuwerk and not just say Twerk.
He's clearly a white man.
He looks like a nice enough white man.
But he says, I was horrified at the outcome.
It's just unbelievable.
I pray for her.
I can't even begin to comment on what might have motivated her.
Well, Mr. Tuwerk.
I would say you have no imagination.
In fact, well, maybe we should say you have too much imagination.
We know very well what motivated her.
The police declined to explain what Brown's possible motive could be.
Well, you know, I never met her.
I've not spoken to the officers.
But I can tell you what her motivation was.
It was to drum up sympathy, turn into a victim, because being a victim is the greatest thing, especially if you are a lady BIPOC and you claim that the city is discriminating against you racially.
Of course, that's why she did it.
But she has a friend named Josie Lopez.
Now, I don't know what race she is.
She sounds at least Hispanic, perhaps even more melanated than that.
But she's a vocal supporter of La Tarsha.
She said, we live in a system that historically has criminalized any person brave enough to stand boldly on the side of justice, diversity, equity and inclusion.
That's no doubt what Latarsha was doing, and so the mean people of Allentown have cooked up this horrible, horrible accusation of hate hoax against her.
And by the way, Latarsha is on the Allentown school board.
She's quite a bigwig in the community, and she still has her job at the city's Community and Economic Development Department.
A preliminary hearing is expected April 22nd, so stay tuned, boys and girls.
She's charged with...
Tampering with evidence and filing a police report and if guilty, the ordinary punishment would be one to two years in prison and fines of $2,500 to $5,000.
What's your guess, Mr. Kersey, that if found guilty, she'll get community service?
Hard to know.
We'll find out.
This is one of those stories that it makes you think back the past few years.
Again, we've been doing this podcast for all you and I have.
A encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to a lot of these cases.
And I just thought back to the Bubba Wallace story, sir, back in 2019.
This was before COVID.
He was one of the only black, light-skinned black guy NASCAR drivers.
And if you all recall, ladies and gentlemen, he claimed that a noose was found in his...
The garage.
They set aside for him and his car.
I was about to say hangar, but it's a garage.
It's a garage.
I mean, they go as fast as airplanes, but they're garages.
That's right.
So an investigation took place, and the FBI legitimately had 15 agents go down to investigate this news.
And it was determined that the rope in question had been there before.
Mr. Wallace's NASCAR team had arrived.
It was a rope to pull down.
I'm sure you've all seen at a garage one of those ropes that hangs over the garage door to pull down.
And that was what was in question as potentially being a racist symbol of hate.
And I think at this point there really needs to be pushback against this.
We've seen such successful pushback against these.
And these happen a lot, by the way.
In academia, this happens a lot, where you'll see racial graffiti put on people's office doors or homes.
Sir, I'm not sure if you remember this, Mr. Taylor, but I want to say it was 2018.
LeBron James, maybe 2019, he claimed the NBA, one of the richest people in professional sports, claimed that his home had racist graffiti spray-painted all over it.
That story went away very quickly because it was like, well, wait a second.
Who actually did this?
What were you doing this for?
And that's a story that you don't see any follow-up on, and there should have been.
I don't remember that.
I don't remember that at all.
Now, this has been a big enough story, so I don't think it's going to be tucked away.
Now, when she's found guilty, and I suspect she will be found guilty, it'll be a small news story, but it'll be very interesting to see what kind of punishment she gets.
But, yes, when's the last time there's been a legitimate hate crime?
I mean, all the ones you ever hear about turn out to be hoaxes these days.
I mean, I imagine with, what do we got, 180 million white people?
Some of them are doing bad things to black people, but boy, all the ones you hear about that make the big time turn out to be hoaxes, don't they?
Now, Mr. Kersey, to continue in a sporting vein, you have a story about a buccaneer.
You know, this is one that I've been wanting to talk about because John Gruden has made somewhat of a comeback.
I know you don't pay attention to pop culture too much.
I think it's really important to see how people are resuscitated.
John Gruden was and is one of the top minds when it comes to professional football, when it comes to an offensive mind.
And he was, if you guys all remember, we talked about him on this podcast.
He was fired from his job with the Oakland Raiders back in October of, or back in 2021, because it turns out that in this investigation of the Redskins and emails, He had said some disparaging things.
We'll get to that.
But here's the good news.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that former head coach John Gruden is going to be reinstated to the team's ring of honor.
He was initially inducted to the Buccaneers ring of honor based on his many accomplishments during his seven seasons as the head coach.
He remains a significant figure in the history of our franchise.
Upon further reflection, we've decided to reinstate him into the Buccaneers ring of honor.
The owners of the franchise put out a press release.
Now, Mr. Taylor, he's a white man.
He's a blind-haired, blue-eyed white man.
Worst kind.
Yeah, exactly.
He was removed from the Buccaneers Ring of Honor in October 2021 after the Wall Street Journal and New York Times published news articles that detailed the coach's use of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic terms in emails dating back to 2010.
He resigned from his role as the Las Vegas Raiders head coach upon the release of those reports midway through the 2021 season.
He was forced out.
He was basically given the choice.
Do you want to resign or be fired?
Strangely, he was acquired in a rare coach trade during the 2002 season.
He came back.
He was probably one of the top color commentators, sir.
I know you don't watch pro football, but he's a very entertaining guy.
And he was inducted to the...
Buccaneers Ring of Honor in 2017.
One of the things we talked about in this podcast was how hard it was to try and figure out what he actually said.
Because in all the reporting, the New York Times, Washington Post, ESPN, they would never delineate what he said.
And basically, the only things that have come out really is that in an email that was released, it stated that he said that the NFL, one of the NFL, I'm sorry, DeMaurice Smith, he's one of the top NFL player personnel leaders.
I can't remember his exact title.
Wait, wait, wait.
He's a player or he's a personnel guy?
He's a former player, but he represents the players.
He's sort of the person who represents the players in arbitration and stuff.
And during the midst of what was going to be a lockout, apparently Gruden sent an email to someone.
He said that Smith had, quote, lips the size of Michelin tires.
And that was enough to cause that much consternation and to denigrate him in a private email that only became public due to this investigation around the Washington Redskins football team.
Well, but Mr. Kersey, I guess we still don't have all our data because he apparently said homophobic things and he said misogynistic things.
Got any of them up your sleeve?
They've never been released.
I looked everywhere that I could just as we did when this story broke in 2021.
And what's fascinating is when all this was happening, that was a year into the George Floyd revolution when America was being seemingly irrevocably changed.
And now John Gruden is back.
And you have to think that all the Hall of Fame baseball players or any football player who ever uttered anything bad We know this because of all the school buildings.
I think David Starr Jordan, his name was removed at Stanford.
There were a number of professors at the University of Alabama.
I believe there was a professor at Yale, at Princeton, at Brown.
All these schools, they did deep investigations into the writings and the things that were said by dead white males.
And here we have a living white male who is being...
Rehabilitated. He's being rehabilitated.
And he's a funny, funny guy.
So you say, although he left as the Buccaneers coach, was it?
He was hired as somebody else's coach, even after all of these horrible things?
No. Okay, so he was traded to the Raiders as a head coach, which is very rare in professional football.
Then he retired and became a beloved color commentator.
Then he was rehired by the Raiders wasn't that successful, but, uh, he, As a head coach.
He was forced to resign or be fired.
But he's now rehabilitated himself, and there are a lot of teams that were even looking to hire him again after this, because they thought that he was persona non grata, but he's a likable guy.
And you said he is a genius offensive mind.
Well, I guess a lot of people found him too offensive.
Yuck, yuck.
Well, sorry.
Mr. Kersey, you know, we will continue in this athletics business talking about people who are mysteries to me, but apparently we have a gang of expert burglars who make a point of burgling the world's biggest sports stars, including Travis Kelsey and Patrick.
Now, how do you pronounce this guy's name?
Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes. It's not Mahomes.
It's not Mahomies.
Okay. All right.
You never know.
Yes. Who are Mahomies?
Well, Patrick Mahomies.
They have fallen victim to thieves.
They are some of the biggest names.
The worrying trend has seen criminals target the mansions and possessions of players in NFL, the NBA, the NHL, and MLS.
Now, I had to look up what MLS was.
Mr. Kersey, you wouldn't have had to, but that apparently stands for Major League Soccer.
I didn't know there was Major League Soccer, but...
You'll be proud of me.
I know what the NFL, NBA, and NHL stand for.
I'm not as ignorant about this stuff as you think.
And at the end of last year, the FBI sent a warning out to American professional sports leagues about criminals targeting their homes.
And this appears to be, at least in part, the work of a sophisticated crime ring, Mahomes.
He had jerseys, medals, trophies, awards, and more stolen.
And last month, federal prosecutors caught seven members of a South American gang that was allegedly responsible for this and other break-ins.
They are illegal immigrants from Chile.
Illegal immigrants.
Now, thieves also raided Kelsey's estate.
The only thing I know of him is that Taylor Swift is his girlfriend.
And this was during a Chiefs game.
He plays for the Chiefs, apparently.
And Taylor Baby was watching in the stadium, and they came home, and while he was playing, his mansion was burgled.
Apparently, he lost $100,000 in jewelry and his first-ever Super Bowl jersey.
Poor boy.
Another fellow, Joe Burrow, the Bengals quarterback.
Saw his Ohio home raided while he was helping Cincinnati beat the Cowboys in Texas.
So he is off in Texas.
You know his house is empty, or at least he's not there.
And these louts ran off with about $300,000 worth of luggage, glasses, watches, and jewelry.
Luggage. Well, I guess you need some luggage to haul off all the other loot.
But glasses, I guess you had really fancy glasses.
I mean, watches can be expensive and jewelry, but luggage, glasses, watches, and jewelry.
Now, the incident having to do with Joe Burrow, according to the report I read, was cloaked in mystery after it emerged that the 911 call was made by Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Olivia Ponten rather than his longtime partner, Olivia Holzmacher.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
She was first on the scene, apparently.
How did that happen?
Now, they say this is cloaked-in mystery.
Well, it doesn't seem like that much of a mystery to me.
This Olivia Ponton girl has three million followers on Instagram, so it would not surprise me if she turned to the head of Joe Burrow.
But there you go.
Now, here is an interesting little story.
This is something about which I know nothing also.
Contemporary fiction.
In my view, I don't read any novel unless the author has been safely dead for at least 50 years.
That's hilarious.
So if there's an author who died 49 years ago, you're sitting there waiting and counting down the days.
Not necessarily.
I've got 241 more days to go so you can read this novel.
I can read this guy.
No, if they're still around, they're still being read, and they probably wrote at a time when white people were not all certifiably insane.
Correct. In any case.
This article says, it's easy enough to trace the decline of young white men in American letters.
Just browse the New York Times' notable fiction list.
In 2012, the Times included seven white American men under the age of 43. That is the cutoff for millennials.
So I guess you must be a millennial, Mr. Kersey.
And in 2013, there were six.
Six in the Times Notable Fiction list.
And in 2014, there were six.
And then the doors slammed shut.
By 2021, there was not one white man, millennial, on the Notable Fiction list.
Not one.
2022 and 2023 and 2024, none.
None. They're just gone.
And since 2022, I'm sorry, since 2021, just two.
Of the 72 millennials featured were white American men.
Just two out of 72. There were no white male millennials featured in Vulture's 2024 year-end fiction list.
I've never heard of Vulture's year-end fiction list.
Not one honky man in Vanity Fair's list.
None in the Atlantic's list.
None. White men disappeared.
Esquire, a magazine ostensibly geared towards men.
And Millennials has featured 53 millennial fiction writers in its year-end book list since 2020.
Guess how many white American men?
One. One out of 53. As one person familiar with the scene says, the literary pipeline for white men has been effectively shut down.
Between 2001 to 2011, six white men won the New York Public Library's Young Lions Prize for debut fiction.
That was six between 2001 and 2011.
Since 2020, not one has even been nominated, much less one.
Of 14 millennial finalists for the National Book Award during the same time period, exactly zero white men.
Now the Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford, a launching pad for young writers, currently has zero white male fiction and poetry fellows.
Since 2020, there was just one.
And we're talking about straight or crooked, you know.
Being crooked doesn't even help.
Perhaps most astonishingly, not a single white American born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in the New Yorker.
Now, I read the New Yorker from time to time.
Some of its articles, it's got always a lefty slant, but it's got some very interesting articles sometimes.
And at least 24, probably closer to 30, younger millennials have published since 1984.
Not one American white man.
Now, there are reasons for this, no doubt.
I'm not sure what they all are, but Honky has sure been cut out of literary fiction.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you have an interesting story.
We are moving across several oceans to get to South Africa.
We are.
We are, courtesy of, well, the wealthiest man in the world who's made this one of the big issues.
No, I guess it's just one ocean.
Well, if you talk about the North Atlantic and the South Atlantic, in any case, yes, only one ocean.
It's a long plane ride to get to Cape Town or Johannesburg, but South African president.
Has said that the persecutions of whites is a false narrative, as Musk repeats, genocide claim.
Now, this is from this morning.
This is a big news story because of something our Secretary of State tweeted out yesterday.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Cyril. Cyril.
Cyril. Cyril.
Sorry. Again, these are names you just don't hear enunciated.
So Cyril Ramaphosa.
Cyril Ramaphosa.
Yes. Yeah.
He said that the claim that white people are being persecuted in his country is a completely false narrative.
It was his latest attempt to push back against allegations made by Trump.
Some of those white minority groups have probably had representation at past New Century Foundation conferences.
I remember meeting...
Dan Root, actually, back in 2006, I believe, I think he spoke at that conference.
He has spoken at least twice at our conferences.
Fine, fine man, Dan Root.
He's a very good man, yes.
Musk, who, of course, is South African-born, has regularly accused the black-led government of being anti-white, repeated a claim this weekend on Twitter that some of the country's political figures are actively promoting white genocide.
Ramaphosa said in his weekly message to the nation that South Africans, quote, should not allow events beyond our shores to divide us or turn us against each other, end quote.
Nope, that should actually be left to the events within the shores that are used to divide.
Plenty of those.
Yeah, exactly.
Quote, in particular, we should challenge the completely false narrative that our country is a place in which people of a certain race or culture are being targeted for persecution.
Ramaphosa did not mention names, but his denial was a reference to the allegations by Trump and others that South Africa is deliberately mistreating a white minority group known as Afrikaners by encouraging violent attacks on their farms and introducing a law designed to seize their land.
You know, it's funny, I'm just doing a cursory look over this article, and of course there's nothing about...
The black economic empowerment, BEE, which is far more onerous than any affirmative action concepts we have in the United States when it comes to the hiring practices and the allocation of jobs that openly discriminate against the Afrikaners and just the white South Africans.
Now, President Trump issued an executive order last month cutting funding to South Africa to punish the government while offering Afrikaners refugee status in the US. Afrikaners are, of course, descendants of mainly Dutch and French colonial settlers that came to South Africa more than 300 years ago.
If you guys haven't ever read about the Battle of Blood River, please, please take a moment after this podcast to read about that incredible battle.
They're at the heart of the apartheid government that systematically I'm just reading the article.
I guess if you were reconciling the many racial groups after apartheid ended by engaging in violence against the dwindling white minority, sure, I guess that's a way to do it.
In a Twitter post cited a political rally last Friday in South Africa where black leaders of a far-left opposition party sing a song that has the lyrics, kill the boar, the farmer.
Of course, boar is a word that refers to an Afrikaner.
You know, Mr. Taylor, this is just kind of surreal, the fact that we're even reading this, because for so long, anything that had to do with South Africa, it was, and the way it was discussed in the United States, It would be relegated to the pages of the New Century Foundation's amren.com page.
Conservatives were afraid of touching this.
Well, not necessarily true.
The New York Times would occasionally write about South Africa, and they would cluck, cluck, cluck a little bit about the lingering legacy of apartheid.
If something was going wrong, uh-uh, this is the legacy of apartheid.
That's the way they couched everything.
But now, yes, it's finally got to the point where fairly respectable publication will talk about some things that are definitely going wrong there that it would be hard to describe as being the fault of white people.
Yeah, I remember back in 2018, Tucker Carlson, when he was still with Fox News, he broached this subject a number of times.
And President Trump tweeted a few things about it.
But now we're actively seeing the Trump administration confront what they specifically call out anti-white actions.
And I think that is just such a night and day shift in the thinking of your average white American to even put those words in the context of state action by, you know, by.
By moral agents there in South Africa who are making a conscious decision to discriminate against whites.
And in regards to this, this is where, you know, they kind of buried the lead here.
But Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on Twitter yesterday, March 24th, year of our Lord 2025, that the song Kill the Boar.
Kill the Boar, quote, is a chant that incites violence.
South Africa's leaders and politicians must take action to protect Afrikaner and other disfavored minorities.
The United States is proud to offer those individuals who qualify for admission to our nation amid this continued horrible threat of violence.
What's interesting is this news article omitted the fact that he actually on Twitter called it an anti-white chant.
I find that very odd because that's, you know, I retweet it like, wow, I can't believe our Secretary of State.
This is now in the lexicon of conservatives and Republicans, because I think you would recall, and our astute listeners who have been with us for a while, we appreciate each and every one of you, it was our, oh my goodness, why am I blanking on the former Democrat from Hawaii's name, who's now in charge of intelligence?
Tulsi. Tulsi.
Tulsi Gabbard actually came out and said there was an act.
Some action was anti-white.
I don't remember what it was, but she just came out and said it as a Democrat.
And now we've got the Secretary of State calling out the South African government, and we're offering refugee status, which is just, it's extraordinary.
We do live in extraordinary times.
Well, Mr. Kurz, you and I have been following all of this anti-white business, and I well remember there was a gradual change, and it perhaps happened maybe...
Two or three years ago, DEI was originally criticized because it was divisive.
Remember? I do.
And then bit by bit, bit by bit, an occasional person would say it's anti-white.
Yeah. Finally calling it by what it is.
And no, you're absolutely right.
It is a significant thing when the Secretary of State says this is anti-white.
Well, good for you, Marco.
Honorary white man.
No, he's got a beautiful family.
He's done a great job as Secretary of State.
And this is a reminder of where we are now with the refugee status being offered.
There are hundreds of thousands of Afrikaners who could resettle in an area of the country and they'd have nice farmland.
But of course, they want to be where their ancestors were because for 300 years, I mean, that's the important thing to remember is this is their...
This is their homeland.
This is what they know.
And they've been ostracized and abandoned by the entire Western world.
And I think this is one of the gratifying moments, being a Trump supporter, as I have been since he came down the escalator back in 2015.
This is one of those profound moments.
And the fact that the Afrikaners are saying, no, we're going to take our stand.
We're appreciative of what you're doing.
We thank you for bringing this up.
But this is where we belong.
That is even more gratifying in a lot of ways, that they're ready to...
Well, for those of you who are interested in this subject, as it turns out, Dan Root, whom you mentioned earlier just now, wrote an excellent article for American Renaissance, amren.com, on that very subject.
Have we come to the point where, with enough pressure from the United States and perhaps other Western countries, South Africa could be persuaded?
To set aside a certain territory for the white tribe.
I think that's a little premature, but I think that it's very interesting and significant that a lot of Afrikaners are thinking precisely those terms.
Okay, Trump seems to be thinking about us.
Musk seems to be thinking about us.
What we really want is our South African homeland, and it would be wonderful if they could get it.
Again, come to amran.com and read Dan Root's article on that very question.
It's very thought-provoking.
And speaking of thought-provoking, I know you and I are both on Twitter X. I saw that you posted a status update about the South African military that the democratically elected black government inherited.
And I think there's, what, six of 200 plus helicopters?
I have the numbers.
I have the numbers here.
The headline says it all.
Only six of 330 South African Air Force aircraft are in working order.
Six out of 330.
That amounts to one helicopter, two fighter jets, and three fighter jet trainers.
Now, I don't know why you need any trainers.
If only two are actually capable of taking the air, you'd think they'd have an excess of pilots.
But in any case, that's all they got.
One helicopter.
Two fighters and three fighter trainers.
The problem, say reports, is severe maintenance backlogs, a shortage of spare parts, and a chronic lack of funding.
Translation, the problem is black rule.
Once regarded as one of the most formidable air forces in the continent, again, it is down to one helicopter, two fighters, and three trainers.
How nice.
Now, you know, there's another story about South Africa.
We were going to talk about this last week, but we ran out of time, as we so often do.
And that's the fact that the U.S. expelled South Africa's ambassador to Washington.
And Secretary Marco Rubio described him as a race-baiting politician.
Now, from time to time, lower-ranking diplomats get the boot, but it's very unusual for the United States to kick out an outright ambassador.
And Rubio quoted this fellow.
His name is Rasul.
He made remarks during an online lecture about the Trump administration.
He said Trump was mobilizing a supremacism.
I guess that's South African English for you.
Mobilizing a supremacism and trying to project white victimhood as a dog whistle.
We see it in the domestic politics of the USA, the MAGA movement as a response not simply to a supremacist instinct.
But the very clear data that shows demographic shifts in the USA in which the voting electorate is projected to become 48% white.
That's all true.
That's all true.
But this business about supremacist instinct is silly.
He says South Africa is under attack because we are the historical antidote to supremacism.
Yes, the antidote, the South African historical antidote to white supremacism is black supremacism.
Absolutely correct.
Now, of course, there was an executive order that was last month, froze U.S. assistance in South Africa, citing unjust racial discrimination against whites.
As it turns out, the 222 census noted that white people, that's including English speakers and Afrikaners, made up 7.2% of the population.
I think at their heyday, it was close to 20 or 25 percent.
You know these numbers better than I do, but I believe before apartheid came to an end, and before they just got this huge influx, well, they've been having these huge influxes of illegal immigrants from the rest of Africa because South Africa was obviously the best place to be, even if you were being ruled by whites, or especially because you were being ruled by whites, but now it's 7.2 percent of the population.
However, A 2018 land audit by the South African government says white farmers owned 72% of the individually felled farmland.
And this is a horrible thing that must be corrected.
Of course, by correcting it, they will ensure that just as happened in Zimbabwe, farm productivity will go through the floor.
You know, Mr. Taylor, just a thought experiment.
It won't happen because the Afrikaners deserve to be in their homeland.
That they've created, that they've shaped for centuries.
But wouldn't it be fascinating?
We're seeing the United States now a pushback against Chinese foreign-owned farmland.
Wouldn't it be fascinating if the Trump administration just confiscated that and that's where the Afrikaners actually went and created this new breadbasket in America where we became, you know, once again, how quickly...
Lefted their own devices without such an over-the-top anti-white government like you have in South Africa with the BEE.
And if you've never researched, ladies and gentlemen, black economic empowerment, just type that in on your Google machine.
Black economic empowerment, South Africa.
You can all read about the type of government that exists for the Afrikaners to have to try and swim and navigate those anti-white currents and not drown.
I wonder how quickly a large influx of Afrikaners could turn around a city like, let's be blunt, Jackson, Mississippi, Baltimore, Maryland.
I don't think they would want to go there.
They're farmers.
They're farmers.
I know, but guess what?
They'd probably tear down a lot of the buildings.
And they'd probably try and turn the air, you know, turn it into a land where you would have this kind of weird archaeo-futurism.
I don't know, urban farming.
I don't know anything about farming.
I love all our farmers out there who do such a wonderful job.
Thank you if there are farmers listening.
You guys are instrumental in the backbone of our country.
Mr. Kersey, we have got a lot to cover.
We are making poor progress.
I'm sure you were aware of this hacker that went to New York University website and splashed out the SAT, ACT, and high school GPAs of the students who admitted to the university in 2024.
I am aware.
Yes. And it appears that despite the Supreme Court...
Ban on racial preferences dating back to June 2023.
It all looks pretty illegal to me, assuming that these numbers are correct, and nobody seems to be denying them.
NYU is not saying, uh-oh, no, no, no, no, no, these numbers are all wrong.
They're just saying, shame on you for having found them.
So, Asians, surprisingly, they're at the top.
The SAT score for Asians, the average was 1485.
That's pretty good.
And whites down a little bit, 1428.
1428 is still pretty good, too.
And then you get a significant drop for Hispanics there at 1355 and blacks in the basement at 1289.
So between the Asians who are at 1485 and the blacks who are at 1289, there is almost a 200 point gap in combined SATs.
This is what you expect at selective universities.
Now, sometimes people make the claims, okay, their SAT scores may be lower, but they excel in all sorts of other ways.
Troubling a basketball.
Ah, well, here we have the GPAs for the people who are admitted.
And let us be realistic, probably blacks go to schools that are a little bit less competitive.
But again, we have exactly the same pattern for GPAs.
Oh, no, I beg your pardon.
Whites actually have higher GPAs than Asians.
An interesting little shift to the pattern.
Whites had a GPA of 3.66.
Asians are not far behind, 3.51.
Hispanics not too far behind that, 3.57.
And then blacks at 3.48.
So it's not as though blacks are compensating for their SAT scores with stellar GPAs.
Now, one curious thing about this hacker attack, reports were saying, I don't know if you caught this, but that the hacker was a woman.
I don't know how anybody knows that.
We don't know who it was.
Perhaps he, she, or it must have said, I'm a woman.
I don't know.
But it is not impossible, Mr. Kersey, that it was some clever Chinese person.
Who wanted to call attention to the fact that Asians are still victims of discrimination if you go on SAT scores alone.
Now, on the subject of whites going to university, this is an interesting little development of which I was ignorant.
But there was a quite interesting article in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
And it dealt with the fact that admissions officers and civil rights advocates often talk about historically underrepresented groups, meaning blacks and Hispanics, American Indians, Eskimos, all our favorite pets.
But white student enrollment has dropped 19% since 2018, more than any other racial group.
But people in higher education don't want to talk about it.
Can't be talking about white people's problems.
White students are opting out of college higher than any other demographic group.
As I say, since 2018, white enrollment has dropped by 19% across all undergraduate sectors.
Black undergraduate enrollment declined by 11%.
Hispanics, on the other hand, they are up 2%.
Isn't this interesting?
Now, some people say that it has to do with the fact that there are fewer and fewer white people.
That's all true.
But demographics do not account for this very significant drop.
So, if you go back to 2012, we are talking about, Mr. Kersey, a decline of more than 2 million white undergraduates across the country.
2 million, poof, gone.
College enrollment, however, still remains high for whites.
Among 18 to 22-year-olds, about 41% of whites in that age range are going to college, compared to 36% for blacks and 33% for Hispanics.
Hispanics generally get better grades than blacks, and there is room for improvement if they want to end up going to college.
They get better scores.
So my guess is that the percentage of Hispanics going will probably rise and outstrip blacks.
We'll have to keep an eye on white people, though.
Now, you have experts who know that this is going on, but they are not wanting to talk about it.
You're not seeing any research papers about this.
And according to this article, if you call up admissions officers and ask them, well, hey, what happened to white people?
They don't want to talk about it.
This is like those deaths of despair.
Remember? There were two researchers.
One of them was named Deacon, I believe.
Who were those two researchers?
I don't remember their names.
I think it was a husband-wife team, wasn't it?
Yes, I believe it was.
But they had different surnames.
And they found that white people, white working class people, were actually dropping in life expectancy because this sudden surge of what they call deaths of despair.
Deaths due to alcoholism, suicide, and drug overdoses.
And when they brought this data...
To the various publications, the reaction was, eh, who cares?
It's white people.
But they managed finally to get publication.
So that's the same thing here.
White people, white students not going to college.
But some people, of course, are saying that college has been taken over by administrators who are trying to indoctrinate you with all sorts of cuckoo ideas about race, sexuality, and...
Racial and sexual confusion making white people feel guilty that they are oppressors.
I think that's probably got something to do with it.
I wouldn't be surprised also if it has to do with the fact that a lot of white people are realizing you get into debt and you get into it with some stupid degree and it's just not worth it.
Well, Mr. Kersey, we are out of time.
We had so many wonderful stories.
We had cockfighting to talk about and Snow White and our old friend Brittany Cooper's back in the news.
Yikes. What's next week?
But if I could, on behalf of everybody at New Century Foundation and all American Renaissance readers and listeners, we're going to wish you the best of success at your upcoming college speech.
Oh, thank you very much.
Let's hope that it actually happens.
In any case, ladies and gentlemen, it's always a pleasure, a joy and an honor to spend this time with you.
We thank you so very much and we look forward to spending this time with you next week.
