Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey himself in the flesh.
Today is May 2nd, the day after May Day.
I don't know if there were any May Day celebrations in the United States.
That, of course, is this great labor holiday in Europe.
I don't remember seeing much going on in this country.
Happily, happily.
I'm not a big fan of organized labor, frankly.
In any case, today is, as I say, May 2nd, and we will begin with comments.
Somebody writes in to say, Dear Uncle Jared, I have observed many young men acting very unchivalrously.
They charge in front of a young lady, remain seated on a crowded bus when their lady's standing, and do not hold doors.
It might do them good to hear a few guidelines from you.
Meaning me, on how to uphold the traditions we inherited from our forebears.
Well, this is a long story, and I don't really know what we can say just in answer to comment of that kind, but I agree 100%.
Of course, there are feminists who, I have told, will...
Scowl at you if you hold the door for them.
Now, I've never had that happen.
Never, ever.
I've held the door for all kinds of ladies.
And I have never, even one who looked like she might be a thoroughgoing feminist, I've never heard one scowl.
So, I've never seen one scowl, I should say.
Sometimes scowls are audible.
But I think this may be an excuse for people who are just lazy anyway.
But there's no question about it.
We need to return to more gentleman and ladylike forms of behavior.
I've been scowled at an airport.
I've been scowled when I allowed a woman to get on an escalator first.
Really?
I got out of the way to let her go first.
I got scowled when I tried to give up a seat actually on an airplane metro shuttle one time.
That was very weird.
But I want to give a quick tip to every single guy out there.
When you go on your first date with that special girl, Especially if you like her.
First date?
First date?
She's already special?
Boy, you're thinking ahead, Mr. Kersey.
If she is, if she is, you know, be judicious with your dates, guys.
Don't just go out with anybody.
But when you go on that first date with a girl and you're sitting there at the dinner table, if she says she needs to go to the bathroom, stand up before she stands up.
I guarantee you that not once in her life has that happened.
She's going to be shocked.
And you wait till she goes.
Then you sit back down.
When she re-approaches the table, you stand up again.
You shift the chair so she can sit down and sit her down.
Act like it was the most natural thing in the world.
And then at some point in the next minute or two, she's going to ask, why did you do that?
And you tell her because a true gentleman stands when a lady leaves the table and when she returns.
Okay, so that's the secret of your success.
Well, the fact is, gentlemen are all supposed to stand when a lady enters the room.
That's correct.
Is standard behavior.
And of course, holding chairs for ladies, holding doors for ladies.
I must say, I have, it's just my habit in an automobile to hold the door open for a lady to sit down before I get into my chair.
Into my seat in the car.
And many ladies are very surprised.
They appreciate it.
They're glad it happens.
But they act as though it's never happened in their lives.
This is all very much too bad.
But I've never been scowled at.
There must be something about the way you do it, Mr. Kersey.
Maybe it's a difference in age.
Nobody ever scowls at me.
I'm just too lovable to be scowled at.
Maybe it seems condescending coming for me because I'm just like, oh, it's perfunctory.
I don't know.
But anyways.
I don't know.
In any case, yet another comment.
A listener talked about what he thought was the increasing ugliness of white women.
You know, I don't think they're increasingly ugly.
But, and I think raising it's sort of a delicate question.
I almost hesitated to even address that issue.
But this commenter says, my own impression that it is self-inflicted, troweled on makeup.
Floor brushes for eyelashes, faces studded with fishing tattoos, lesbian utility haircuts in unnatural colors, and aping black behavior and speech.
Strip away all of this and their inherent beauty becomes visible.
I agree 100%.
Get rid of all of that junk.
But our commenter goes on to say, Woe betide any white man who dares to make these observations publicly.
Well, fellow white man, I'm glad you said so, and I'm happy to relay this comment completely publicly.
And in connection with this question of the declining beauty of women, it happens to men too.
And I believe, Mr. Kersey, you had noted that Sean Connery had aged...
Terribly over the years.
And a listener writes, tend to say Sean Connery was a smoker.
That's why he probably looked 20 years older in Dr. No.
Well, you are the movie buff, Mr. Kersey, and not I. So would you agree that he looked 20 years older in Dr. No?
Yeah, it's fascinating to say that, because have you ever seen the movie The Great Inferno with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen?
That I never have.
Okay, both those actors look like they're in their 60s and they're in their late 30s, early 40s.
Were they also smokers?
They were notorious smokers.
I mean, smoking was something that was just expected in that era of politics.
Indeed, indeed.
Ages you quickly.
Here's another comment.
On your recent Radio Renaissance podcast, there was an interesting discussion about how Carmelo Anthony Jure A Carmelo Anthony jury could justify a verdict in his favor.
This, of course, is the black guy who stabbed a white track man to death under very, very incriminating circumstances.
A jury need never justify any verdict, points out this listener absolutely correctly.
It speaks collectively only the words guilty or not guilty.
Judges must find facts and apply law.
Juries don't have to do that.
The concept of the jury arose in homogeneous England at a time when trust was high and the idea that a whole group of people would conspire to rig a verdict.
It was unthinkable.
Jurors were to be your fellow townsmen, and good and fair relations were crucial to the social fabric.
Juries, like the rule of law, rely on trustworthy, homogeneous white societies where they originated, they fail outside of that context.
And, of course, that's true.
It's true that a sufficiently large number of blacks in the jury just say, you know, we're going to just stick our thumbs in the eye of the white man.
Our black brother is innocent.
They could certainly do that.
But we were talking, you and I, Mr. Kersey, about appeals that someone could conceivably make to a jury that would make it sound faintly plausible under the circumstances.
But no, this commenter is absolutely 100% correct.
They don't have to justify anything.
Now, this is a very edifying and lengthy comment.
On your most recent podcast, you spoke about the prospect of an African Pope.
I thought you might like to know what the front-runner among traditional Catholics, Cardinal Robert Sarah from French Guinea in West Africa, has said.
And here are a list of quotations.
I may not read them all, but they're all pretty good.
All migrants who arrive in Europe are penniless, without work, without dignity.
This is what the church wants?
The church cannot cooperate with this new form of slavery.
Another comment.
It is a false exegesis, that is to say a false interpretation of the Bible, to use the word of God to promote migration.
God never wanted these heartbreaks.
Now, he's talking here about the heartbreaks of the migrants who cross the ocean and drown, but what about the heartbreaks of the people in Europe who end up with these people?
Another comment.
If Europe continues in this way, it will be invaded by a foreign population.
Well, it's already invaded.
The West no longer knows who it is because it no longer knows and does not want to know who made it, who established it, as it was.
And as it is, the West refuses to acknowledge its Christian roots.
Of course, that's his Christian perspective on this.
But by all means, why should a continent that has been marinated in Christianity all this time ever, ever even accept a single Muslim?
He also says the important thing is to help Africa develop locally and to ensure that these young people find work and stay at home.
Every nation has a right to distinguish between genuine refugees and economic migrants.
Everything must be done so that people can remain in the countries that saw their birth.
Every day, hundreds of Africans die in the waters of the Mediterranean.
Because very soon, we know there will be in Europe a singularly dangerous imbalance in the demographic, cultural, and religious levels.
Globalized humanity without borders is a hell.
The standardization of ways of life is the cancer of the postmodern world.
Men become unwitting members of a great planetary herd that does not think, does not protest, and allows itself to be guided towards a future that does not belong to us.
Those are all good.
Of course, part of the prospect is, he says, people who are coming from the Third World, probably he's very vividly aware of Africans coming, they have a hard time.
Some of them die on the way, they get exploited on the way, but at least he's thinking in terms of...
To some degree, Europe remaining at least Christian, if not even European.
And this final quote from him, if the West continues in this fatal way, there's a great risk that due to a lack of birth, and he surely is talking about white people, it will disappear, invaded by foreigners, just as Rome has been invaded by barbarians.
Now, I would love it.
I would love to see a pope that looks at things in those terms.
And this black guy, Cardinal Sarah, he speaks French, English, Spanish, and Italian fluently.
And he is an absolute native African.
Not the least bit of white blood in him.
Clearly a smart guy and clearly aware of some of the things that are going on.
So we'll see.
I mean, I am a traditionalist in the sense that the idea of a non-white, a non-white pope gives me the heebie-jeebies, but this guy might be better than any white guy who's in the running.
So, another comment.
Now, this had to do with this sort of spiritual exercise known as, well, it's spelled R-E-I-K-I.
And it's this sort of Japanese healing method.
I'm not very knowledgeable about these things.
I call it Reiki.
But a listener wrote in to say it's called Reiki, like Rikers Island.
Well, I doubted that.
Grok.
It says it's Reiki.
I even went to YouTube and watched a video about it and it was pronounced Reiki.
Reiki.
So I believe I was correct and our listener was wrong.
But who knows?
We will be corrected if I am wrong and the video was wrong and Grok was wrong.
Again, sir, you might be correct.
It's interesting because that is a term you hear in a lot of television shows that are set in New York City.
And it always is.
I've always heard Rikers.
Wait, Rikers Island?
We're talking about this Reiki business, not Rikers Island.
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
How often do you hear about Reiki, this sort of spiritual mumbo-jumbo?
I shouldn't say mumbo-jumbo, let me believe in this.
How often have you heard of Reiki or Reiki?
Rarely.
I must confess, probably the first time is last week.
Okay.
Well, it's like Pilates.
You know, I'd never heard of Pilates, but I think that's the correct pronunciation.
The fact is, I grew up in Japan.
I'd never heard of Reiki the whole time I was there.
And it is based on a Japanese word.
And it has to do with the feelings of the spirit.
I looked it all up.
Also, I looked up Reiki centers in Japan, and there are only 15 of them in all of Japan.
In any way.
In any case, it's probably more popular outside the country.
Final comment.
I'd be curious to hear what you and your co-host's thoughts are on the best methods to preserve the gains of white advocacy.
How do we move this ball forward?
I think we keep doing what we're doing.
Mr. Kersey, there's no doubt about it.
More and more white people have woken up.
More and more white people are willing to take a position.
And whatever we've been doing to make that happen, whatever anybody's been doing to make that happen has been good.
I think we need to keep up.
Ladies and gentlemen, we love hearing from you.
We love our comments.
And please send us what you're thinking, especially if we get something wrong.
We mispronounce something, which we sometimes do.
Get a fact wrong, which we sometimes do.
Please correct us.
The way to get to us, there are two ways.
You can go to the American Renaissance page, amren.com, and go to the Contact Us page, and you can get a message to me.
And you can get a message straight to my indispensable co-host.
Yeah, it's really simple.
BecauseWeLiveHereAtProton.me.
Once again, that email address is BecauseWeLiveHereAtProton.me.
And I would be remiss, ladies and gentlemen, if I didn't point out that Jared and Mr. Taylor and myself are both on Twitter.
I'm at at BWLH underscore.
And Mr. Taylor is...
I am at RealJarTaylor.
Enough advertisement.
Enough advertising, Mr. Kersey.
Early to beg, early to rise, always advertise.
That was the words of Ted Turner.
Now, the big news this morning is that the Alternative for Deutschland has been officially declared an extremist organization.
This is, it was the second most successful party in the last federal elections.
It is the number one party in Thuringia and Saxony states.
And according to the latest polling after the elections, it is the most popular in all of Germany and something called the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Isn't that a highfalutin name for basically a domestic spy agency, protection of the Constitution?
It has officially declared that in its role as the guardian of the German Constitution, it has labeled the entire AFD as an extremist entity.
This reportedly comes after an intense and comprehensive examination of what the party is up to.
Now, this apparently is what its great sin is.
The ethnicity and ancestry-based conception of the people that predominates within the party is not compatible with the free democratic order.
Well, well.
The idea that Germany should be for Germans or that a certain ethnicity and ancestry has a primary claim on Germany, that's not compatible with a free democratic order?
What pathetic baloney.
And here is the official conclusion about the AFD.
It aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society and
subject them to treatment that violates the Constitution and thereby assign them a legally subordinate class.
I see no evidence of that, Mr. Kersey.
I've never, ever heard anyone in the AFD saying, we are going to mistreat certain people.
They can say, no, we don't want, they can say, no, we do not want immigrants.
Yes, we want to deport illegal immigrants.
I have never, ever heard.
It's them saying that they don't want equal participation with people who are legally there.
Now, as I looked up, there was the Deutsche Welle News Service.
That's the official government news service.
It was reporting on this.
And it had a list of all of what it considered to be the most horrible, horrible things that anybody in the AFD had ever said.
There was not one word about mistreating certain groups of people.
This is all it could come up with.
The AFD's Alexander Gowland famously dismissed Nazi rule, the Nazi period, as bird shit on Germany's long history.
Gosh, what an awful thing to say.
That says nothing about mistreating anybody.
That same year, an AFD youth leader, Lars Steinke, said Adolf Hitler was forced to invade Poland.
And one of the AFD's most outspoken leaders, Bjorn Hockey, was fined for using a banned slogan, a Nazi slogan at a campaign rally.
Now, the slogan is everything for Germany, and that's a banned slogan because the Nazis used it.
He also described Berlin's memorial to the Jews of Europe in the Holocaust as a monument of shame and suggested that it was wrong for Hitler to be portrayed as Absolutely evil.
Okay?
I agree with both those sentiments.
Both those sentiments.
And again, what has that got to do with mistreating any group of people?
However, outgoing Interior Ministry Nancy Fazer has denied that there was any political influence whatsoever on the decision made by the German spy agency.
It says the AFD represents an ethnic concept that discriminates against entire population groups.
Yes, a discrimination against population groups that have no right to German citizenship and who are not in Germany.
I've never, ever heard of it, talking about discriminating against, say, Turks who are German citizens.
Boy, oh boy.
Then he goes on to say, their ethnic attitude is reflected in racist statements, especially against immigrants and Muslims, she said.
And the extremist label by the intelligence, by the spy agency, does not automatically trigger a ban.
But it means that the authorities will have greater power to surveil them, look into their communications, treat them like criminals.
This is just disgusting to me.
Oh, and by the way, Joseph Schuster, the head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, has a reaction to this, says...
AFD representatives should never reach government positions, not even via important positions in the parliamentary committees.
And they should never get access to information related to security.
Well, oh, thanks, Joseph Schuster.
But the idea of banning and tormenting a party that is the number one party in Germany.
What sort of phony, baloney conception of democracy is this?
They talk about democracy and all.
They're so great in the will of the people.
This is absolutely outrageous.
I've never, ever, ever had any kind of sense that the Germans want to violate the Constitution.
No, they want Germany for Germans.
They want to go about it in a legal and humane way.
And apparently wanting Germany for the Germans is against the Constitution, at least in the idea that people are running the show now.
Yeah, it's fascinating because, you know, being on X this morning, seeing the reaction by some of my favorite pundits, somebody who you are close with, Mr. Gregory Hood.
I think he put out a great tweet.
It just simply said, "Let's check in on liberal democracy." And it's got the story breaking.
AFD has been designated an extremist entity by German intelligence.
Well, the thing is,
wait.
If they actually took democracy seriously, it would not be a joke.
The joke is the idea that they pretend to support democracy.
Now, there are all sorts of objections to the idea of democracy.
There are many elitist concepts about how to run a country.
But democracy itself is proving that it is not a joke when, under a democratic procedure, a nation that is being slowly exterminated resists extermination.
And then to say, no, no, we're just not going to let that happen.
They are turning democracy.
There's a distinction here.
Anyway, I'm really hot under the collar about this.
This happened in Belgium, of course.
Was it back in the 1990s, I think?
The Vlaams bloc, the Flemish bloc that wanted independence for the Flemings.
Flanders.
They were, the party was absolutely voted, I can't remember what the procedure was, but the party was banned.
They reconstituted, and they called them some of the Bloms Belong, and reasonably successful.
But they were a threat to the existing order of how Belgium should be constituted, but to the idea that democracy is going to be thwarted in this way, it's just outrageous.
And just to put a bow in this conversation, look what's happened to Marine Le Pen, who was leaving the polls in France.
Well, yeah, you know, it's...
I did a video on that.
The party really did do some things that it shouldn't have done.
But even so, it's like, you know, you are going along with traffic and the traffic is going, oh, 10 miles above the speed limit.
And, well, the cops for some reason want to single you out.
The party was really violating the rules, but she probably got singled out for special treatment because of who she is.
But we'll see.
We'll see what happens there.
But moving on to another important and outrageous story.
The only black, all-female unit to serve in Europe during the Second World War, commonly known as the 6888, because its number was 6888, was presented with the Congressional Gold Medal.
The Congressional Gold Medal.
It is the highest honor that can be given to civilians in the United States.
It is given for lasting impact on American history and culture.
Lasting impact.
This all-female black unit had a lasting impact on American history and culture.
It was credited with solving a growing male crisis.
This is N-A-I-L crisis, not there were too many men and the female solved the male crisis.
Letters weren't being delivered.
They were in England at the time.
The unit cleared out a backlog of about 17 million pieces of men in three months, twice as fast as projected.
And they did it under enemy fire.
No, no.
Holy cow!
No.
Yes.
They cleared it out in three months rather than six.
It would go on to serve in France before returning home.
Boy, oh boy.
And like many black units during World War II, its exploits never got the attention that it deserved.
And so at a ceremony in Emancipation Hall in the Capital Business Center, oh boy, they got the medal.
There are only two women living from that group that served in the unit.
In 2022, Congress voted, guess what the vote was?
To bestow its highest possible honor on these mail soldiers.
I have a feeling it was unanimous.
It was unanimity, not a single dissenting voice.
What in heaven's name is going on?
The very first person to get the Congressional Medal of Honor was George Washington.
Those are the kind of people that this medal was minted in order to commemorate.
And here we have this group of black ladies.
I mean, I'm all happy they did their job.
They sorted mail, for heaven's sake.
And they get the Congressional Medal of Honor.
It's a gold medal.
I mean...
Boy, oh boy.
I mean, what a silly thing.
If you actually looked into how this story took off, this is one of those stories, Mr. Taylor, that I got an email about because someone said, hey, you did a movie.
A movie was made about it.
Well, yeah.
And a Perry made a movie about it.
Exactly.
So what ended up happening, someone said, you did a really good job looking into Hidden Figures.
Would you mind doing this story?
There's going to be this movie coming out of Netflix.
Apparently, Tyler Perry came across this article that was written for a World War II magazine back in 2019.
This is something that virtually no one had heard about since World War II because no one cared.
As you said, they did their job, but they did it while they were black.
So obviously...
It is an absolute joke.
And what's even more interesting, sir, is after this movie came out or whatever, a series on Netflix by Tyler Perry.
Called The Six Triple Eight.
There's been a glut of books that have now come out.
There's about seven books on Amazon about this Six Triple Eight, including, I believe, one by one of the surviving members.
And again, it's almost as if they have to make up racism that they encountered.
Oh, I'm sure they do.
I'm sure the movie was just full of imagined, invented cases of racism.
This is just astonishing to me.
If I were black...
I would be embarrassed for this kind of stuff.
Sorting mail.
Good grief.
Anyway, let us move on.
Mr. Kersey, you have an important story about a Washington State handout program.
I do.
Again, it's one of those stories that you're just like, really?
Give me one second to pull back up the stories because my apologies.
Here we are.
Pull it up here.
Yeah, a governor – this is from last week.
A governor, Bob Ferguson, Democrat, has signed a law expanding the Covenant Homeownership Program to make it easier for minorities to buy a home.
Washington passed the program two years ago, which is meant to help first-time homebuyers if they're descended from someone affected by racist real estate practices in Washington before 1968.
And somebody tweeted, they wrote that, again, this down payment averaging $120,000 is eligible to black first-time homebuyers without any proof of direct housing discrimination.
Oh, really?
Really?
Any black?
So this dissent business doesn't apply to blacks.
Blacks are automatically eligible.
Yeah, well, here it is.
There's a group.
We have a breakdown of the groups of who are eligible for this.
Black, Latino.
Wait, wait, wait.
Koreans and Pacific Islanders?
No, wait.
Do they have to show discrimination or not?
I mean, I saw that list of the people who...
I mean, imagine all the Pacific Islanders and all the Koreans who are being just viciously discriminated against before 1968 in Washington State.
What kind of utter baloney is this?
But in any case, who has to prove dissent?
All of them or just the black or not the blacks?
It's vague in that.
I believe nobody has to, you know, as long as you can show, I believe, from the way this is worded, that as long as you have somebody who is living in the state of Washington before 1968, all you have to say is, here's the proof they lived here.
Obviously, they were discriminated against.
Well, that's right.
Just walking around, they're discriminated against every minute of every hour of every day, so I guess that's...
Because of the horrifying legacy of redlining or – yeah, exactly.
So the Covenant Home Ownership Program, it offers home buying assistance to minorities, like I said, who faced housing discrimination in the past.
It's open to those who lived in or had a parent, grandparent or great-grandparent living in Washington before 1968 and, like I said, who meet one of the following government-defined racial identities.
Black, Hispanic, Native American, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander, Korean, and Asian Indian.
Mr. Taylor, this was launched on July 1st, 2024, allowing qualified homebuyers to apply through their lenders for zero-interest loans to help fund down payments and closing costs.
The loans are funded by fees on real estate documents recorded with the state.
So if you're going to try and get something rezoned and you are a white property owner in the state of Washington, guess what?
The taxes on that filing fee are reallocated to this program.
SSHB 1996 would increase the income threshold for applicants to 140% of the area median income and allow for loans to be...
Here's the kicker.
Like I said, for applicants to 140% of the area median income and allow for loans to be fully forgiven after five years of repayment.
It would also change one of the oversight committee membership positions to include a representative from a nonprofit organization that provides housing counseling, replacing the previous requirement for a community-based organization specializing in affordable housing development.
If you're ever at a meeting or if you go to one of your HOA meetings and somebody is there speaking on behalf of a community-based organization, you might need to rethink where you're residing, ladies and gentlemen, because you are about to be enriched with the glorious Well,
this is, you know, I think I may look deeper into this.
This is, I mean, where did they even get these, what is it, Pacific Islanders and Koreans and Asian Indians?
Pacific Islanders were all being discriminated against in the state of Washington.
A couple more points from this article, just so you really want to sink your teeth into.
I don't have the racial breakdown of Washington in front of me, the state, but currently about 69 percent of white households in the state own their own homes compared to just – that's the word of the article – 34 percent of black households.
The disparity persists across income levels with the most significant gaps.
Obviously, Seattle is about 70% white.
I guess Spokane is, I think, is about 74% white.
So the state, I would imagine, can't be more than 6%.
Black?
7% black?
That would be my guess.
You know, I'm almost used to this disgusting treatment or this disgusting self-abasement for blacks.
But I'm just astonished by the Koreans and the Asian Indians and the Pacific Islanders.
You know, how many Samoans were living in Washington?
How did they get on the list?
The mind boggles at the willingness of white people just to discriminate against their own people.
I had somebody, Mr. Taylor, who sent me a...
I forgot the city, but Microsoft is obviously based in Seattle, and there's a suburb of Seattle.
They said, you've got to look into the great replacement of...
This one suburb, in 1990, it was about 100% white, and now it is about 45% white because it is a land, it is a city replete with...
Probably Asians.
Asians.
Exactly, by H1Bs, and it is entirely because Microsoft is one of the companies that has benefited the most from the labor of H1Bs.
Exactly, and I'm sure the people of that city are looking to...
Replicate the exact type of statue we saw put up in Sugarland, Texas, of the monkey deity.
Hanuman, I believe, is the way the deity is.
I think that's its name.
Hanuman.
Yes, we'll all be bowing down to Hanuman.
Fourth largest statue in America.
Yes, largest in Texas.
And Texas thinks everything is big there.
Well...
Moving on.
Joy Reid.
Joy Reid.
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid blamed the lack of diversity for the fall of the Roman Empire.
How do you like that?
If the Roman Empire had only had Muslims and Somalis and Pakistanis and Eskimos, it might not have fallen.
And it claimed the United States could go the same way if it doesn't embrace DEI.
So Joy Reid is a student of world history.
The former readout host, along with left-wing political commentator Wajahat Ali, he is a great one, he is one of the most vigorous white haters out there, criticized companies like Walmart and Target for scaling back on DEI.
She says, if you take that away and try to distill us down just to white folks, we'll be like Europe, an aging, slowly dying former empire, says she.
The Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have enough strength in its diversity.
It suppressed its diversity, and it died.
If the U.S. wants to be the Roman Empire, keep voting the way you're voting, y 'all, says she.
She says, if you're under the age of 20 right now, your generation group, the Gen Alpha group, you're already majority non-white, she said.
So, I mean, it sounds like the United States is certainly embracing diversity, isn't it?
She says, so what's a fait accompli?
In 2045, the United States will be a country that no longer has a white majority.
Well, golly, won't we be diverse enough for her?
And this silly idea, the opposite is probably true.
The Romans, the actual Roman Romans, stopped having enough children.
They started hiring these mercenaries.
And that was one of the reasons.
And of course, the Roman Empire lasted a whole lot longer in the United States of America.
And the idea that just this triumphalist, we are what makes America great stuff.
When, of course, any sensible observer will realize that America was built, the United States was built by white people, and white people keep it going.
And she's saying, we're not embracing diversity enough.
We're not becoming minorities soon enough to suit Joy Reid.
I think if she didn't exist, she'd have to be invented.
She's quite marvelous.
And I hope she'll be the next Democratic candidate for president.
It's interesting.
She's one of those people that you would expect.
I believe she's the children of black immigrants, correct?
Right.
She's some kind of Caribbean black, isn't she?
Again, her home country.
Is, you know, begging for a return of capital.
You know, she's no longer employed by MSNBC.
She is, you know, she has a lot of leadership qualities, I'm sure.
And she would be somebody that could go back easily and contribute to her own country.
But, you know, she wouldn't be increasing its diversity.
She'd be increasing its homogeneity.
Have you seen the video, Mr. Taylor, of the rather corpulent black individual who went to Ghana and is now begging to come back because of the lack of snacks there in Ghana, the large ass lizards, I believe is the word she.
Yes, yes, I saw that.
I don't want that to circulate.
I don't want black people seeing videos like that.
I want them to think that it is paradise there.
I did not retweet that.
Not that there are many people, not that there are many black people who probably are on my feed, but I want to suppress that information.
Not that I want to suppress any kind of information, but let's not popularize that.
There was a different video that I put out on X in which this black person saying, oh, we're in East Africa now.
It's so great.
No racism, no conflict.
Boy, all we want is peace.
And that's my feeling too.
All we want is peace.
So I'm so happy you're an African.
In any case, Mr. Kersey.
I'm laughing about your aversion to the video.
No, no.
Do not publicize that.
Don't publicize that.
Gee, come on.
Whose side are you on?
No, I'm on the side of finishing the job at the American Colonization Society.
Full stop.
So there you go.
I go public with that.
I'm not afraid to say that.
No, all voluntary.
I mean, you can build in incentives if you like.
Incentives, following incentives is voluntary.
Now, here's a little story.
Conservatives are suing because of middle school.
And I don't see where that was.
They held a Hispanics-only party to celebrate something called Dia de los Reyes Magos.
Well, everyone else had study hall.
Only Hispanics got segregated out to do that.
And conservatives are all unhappy, unhappy, unhappy.
I'm not unhappy.
What's the problem?
If we could just celebrate Thanksgiving and Columbus Day by ourselves the way we want, that would be just fine.
And was the school supposed to force whites and blacks to just yuck it up over a holiday?
Dia de los Reyes Magos that they've never even heard of?
No, I think what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
But conservatives are all upset.
Conservatives think, you know, we all need to be together at all times, holding hands and...
Chanting the mantras of diversity.
But in any case, Mr. Kersey, apparently Dr. Trump, why am I calling him Dr. Trump, is going to bring Columbus Day back from the ashes.
Sir, this is one of the biggest stories, and I'm going to ask that you preface the story just real quick and tell us, was it Confederate statues of maybe Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson that in aggregate were?
The number of statues that were torn down during the George Floyd scenario.
You know, there is a remarkable website.
Well, it is a Wikipedia page that lists all of the statues and monuments that came down during the BLM mania.
And all told, in the aggregate, as I recall, there were about 250 monuments and statues.
That's a large number, of which about half were Confederate.
Now, the rest of them were not Confederates.
There was a statue of Abraham Lincoln that was at least defaced or torn down.
There were several statues of Junipero Serra, a bona fide Catholic saint.
Somebody tore down a statue of the Virgin Mary.
I guess she's considered a white lady.
But the single person whose statues and monuments were most frequently defaced was that of Cristoforo Colombo.
And, of course, the reason is he was patient zero.
Of this disease known as the white man in the Western Hemisphere.
But in any case, so yes, Dr. Trump is going to bring him back, right?
You just said Dr. Trump again.
I know, I'm thinking of him as he's going to heal the patient.
Well, you know what?
He has an anecdote in a lot of ways to a lot of this nonsense, and that's a good thing because he's not afraid to take the arrows, and you need that right now.
He's the bridge to the next era, and this is one of those first steps back is to proclaiming that Columbus Day is back from the ashes.
Now, this past Sunday, he said that he would not follow his predecessor's practice of recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day along with Columbus Day in October, assuring Democrats of...
Accusing Democrats of denigrating the Explorer's legacy as he pressed his campaign to restore what he argues are traditional American icons.
Biden was the first POTUS to mark Indigenous Peoples Day, issuing a proclamation in October of 2021 that celebrated the, quote, invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples and recognized, quote, their inherent sovereignty, end quote.
The proclamation noted that America was conceived on a promise of equality and opportunity for all people, but that promise we have never really lived up to.
I guess in the state of Washington, they're trying to do with home ownership.
But anyways, that is especially true when it comes to upholding the rights and dignity of the indigenous people who were here long before colonization of the Americas began, end quote.
Well, Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday, and he declared this.
Quote, I'm bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes.
The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much, end quote.
Now, Columbus Day was still known as a holiday, a federal holiday during Biden's term, but also as Indigenous Peoples Day.
It's been a longtime goal of activists who wanted to shift the focus from commemorating Columbus's navigation to the Americas to his and his successors'exploitation of the indigenous people he encountered there.
I guess all white people have the stain of Christopher Columbus upon him.
Though Trump has long objected to telling the country's history through a lens of diversity and oppression, the holiday he seeks to restore to its primacy was added to the calendar as a nod to the country's growing diversity.
Of course, that's back when Italians were just another group of white people.
The article goes on to point out the history of Columbus Day.
And of course, there was discrimination and there was, I believe, hanging of a number of Italians.
And one of the ways to welcome the Italians into the American fold was to honor Christopher Columbus with statues.
Well, I don't think that it took much encouragement for Americans in general to think that Christopher Columbus was a good guy.
The idea of bringing Western civilization to the Western Hemisphere is a great thing.
Now, I don't know the details about whether or not this is...
You make it sound like some sort of affirmative action holiday.
And it's interesting you say that because one of the things that you see pictures of a lot on X are images from the Columbian Expo in 1893 in Chicago, the World's Fair.
That's the famed White City, sir.
And, of course, that event was...
these articles that talk about, oh, the discrimination of Italians, and that's why we're going to celebrate Christopher Columbus.
The 1893 World's Fair was all about doing one thing, and that was celebrating Columbus discovering the new world.
So it blows my mind when you read these articles about discrimination against Italians in the second decade of the 20th century.
It's like, wait a second, didn't we just have one of the most
Incredible world fairs where we celebrated nothing but Christopher Columbus coming to and discovering the new world.
I'm sure there were some people who were unkind to Italians.
There were a certain number of WASPs who would say, well, you're never going to marry anyone whose name ends in a vowel.
But I think it was not particularly widespread.
Italians, Italians assimilated reasonably well.
The idea that this was some kind of, okay, we're just going to throw a bone to the Dagos and put up a statue to call Christopher Christmas.
I think that really is a misreading of American history.
I think even more so, of course, is I don't know who you were quoting, but somebody said, America was founded on the idea of equal rights and access to all.
By no means.
By no means.
That was Biden, sir.
Biden said, what a bloody fool.
God, it was set up for white people.
It was a time when there was slavery.
Slavery was recognized in the Constitution.
The Declaration of Independence talks about the savage Indians.
What a dope that guy is.
But we've been run by dopes for so long.
It's interesting, just real quick anecdote.
You and I toured Richmond in June of 2020 and looked at the desecration of Monument Avenue.
They had just...
The mob had just torn down Jefferson Davis' statue.
They had pulled it down.
And one of the statues that had also been torn down in Bird Park, there were two.
There was a statue dedicated to all of the white police of Richmond who had lost their lives in the term of service.
That was torn down.
And a statue of Christopher Columbus was removed from Bird Park by the leftist Antifa Black Lives Matter protesters and thrown into the – I believe it was thrown into either a pond or the James River.
Yeah, that was, again, it's like, guys, this isn't about Confederates.
This isn't about founding fathers.
This is about the first white man who, you know, Columbus, who discovered it.
This is about our civilization that they're attacking.
Don't you guys get this?
Well, I think it was on the campus of the University of Oregon.
They had two statues.
One was to the pioneer, and another one was to the pioneer mother.
Yep.
They were torn down.
The pioneer mother, what was her crime?
She produced white babies.
Gosh, got to get rid of her.
This kind of absolute self-flagellation is disgusting to me.
Well, let's move on.
One annoying subject after another.
Brussels is preparing to impose an unprecedented 1 billion euro fine on X. This is after an investigation into its alleged violations of the DSA,
the Digital Services Act, which is an EU law.
And the investigation started in 2023, right after Elon Musk bought the website.
They got their knives out and started sharpening them.
Specifically, the case covers X's refusal to police and censor unlawful comment.
That's to say, anything that's deemed harmful.
Or disinformation by Brussels.
I suspect Brussels would think that you and I are unlawful and harmful, Mr. Kersey.
Meta could soon face a similar situation.
It's been hit with the same criticism from Brussels since Mark Zuckerberg, simply on the result of an election in which Donald Trump beat...
Kamala Harris, he suddenly decided to ditch his fact-checkers because they were politically biased and were carrying out the will of the Democratic Party.
Hadn't he noticed?
Hadn't he noticed that before?
I mean, this is just such, I don't know, just a kind of a shift with the winds kind of.
I'm glad he made that change, but he should have made the change long ago for principled reasons, not because he wants to brown nose Donald Trump.
Social media companies, including X and Meta, have sided with Trump.
Constituting a direct threat to European democracy, according to the European Commission Executive Vice President Hannah Verkunen.
Brussels will use and expand all available tools to counter these threats.
A threat to European democracy?
No, I guess X single-handedly accounts for why the AFD is so popular.
And they're going to make sure that it's more fact-checking and make sure that hate speech is purged.
This Virkunen pledged to double the commission staff working on the enforcement of the European Union's censorship tool, the Digital Services Act.
She goes on to say, We know nothing,
nothing terrifies the left as much as freedom of expression.
And this is just the kind of sentiment you would expect from these utterly denatured, spineless Europeans who are trying to ban the most popular party in Germany.
When people actually stand up and say things that make so much sense, they don't want their countries given away to foreigners.
Then, oh my gosh, they've got to be stifled.
And in this case, in the case of X, X might be up for a 1 billion euro fine.
That's a lot of money, even for Elon Musk.
Well, let's see.
I think you have something to tell us about Harmeet Dillon.
Ah, well, you know, you've talked about a bunch of bad stories.
Why don't we get...
Yes, this is a good story.
Yeah, critics see monumental shift in Dr. Trump.
Dr. Trump.
The DOJ Civil Rights Division.
They've shifted the staff and undertaken a series of policy changes at the Justice Department Civil Rights Division that current and former staff say strike at the heart of its mission.
DOJ leadership has in recent weeks directed attorneys to focus on priorities laid out in executive orders from Trump as such keeping men out of women's sports and eradicating anti-Christian bias.
It's a departure for a division that, under former POTUS, Biden described itself as protecting the civil rights of all Americans, including some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
The impact is catastrophic, said Stacey Young, a longtime civil rights division attorney who now runs Justice Connection.
She says they are scaling back possibly nearly all enforcement that they have been doing for decades on civil rights statutes they're required to enforce.
It's a monumental shift in the way the division operates, and it's going to result in American civil rights not being protected as they almost always have been.
Well, as they almost always have been since the Constitution.
was usurped by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The coup.
The coup, exactly.
The department last week removed roughly a dozen career leaders from their positions, pushing some into unrelated roles responsible for responding to public information requests and compliant adjudication office.
Many have since resigned, leaving many sections without any leadership beyond political appointees, with more departures expected.
Justin Levitt, he's a former deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights under Obama, said the moves were sidelining an enormous amount of very nonpartisan expertise that has enforced the law under administrations of both parties.
Hey, the only reason you do that is if you don't think that the laws were worth enforcing.
That actually should really raise eyebrows in Congress, Lovett said.
Sweeping changes come less than three weeks after the swearing out of Harmeet Dillon, Trump's assistant attorney general for civil rights.
She was the co-chair of Lawyers for Trump.
She backed Trump's efforts to challenge the 2020 election and also was among those defending him against a Colorado lawsuit arguing he should be barred from running for office due to leading...
The insurrection.
Again, I'm only reading the news article, guys.
He wasn't leading an insurrection, but if you remember, that was one of the sorry moments of, I believe that was 2023, maybe early 2024, when there was a district attorney who tried to file.
No, it was the state attorney general who filed that, correct?
To get him off?
I believe so.
Yes, that's correct.
That's right.
A number of states tried that.
They did.
They did.
So a little more background.
She represented the Google employee filed after he criticized the company's diversity policy.
That was back in 2017.
Gosh, that was eight years ago, Mr. Taylor.
That was right before Charlottesville when you thought things were going to start to change.
And then, of course...
The curtain fell.
I forgot the guy's name.
You know, I was just trying to remember his name, too.
He said...
I can't remember.
But, you know, his point was, look, the reason we don't have that many lady coders is that because the women are just not that interested and maybe they're not even as good at it.
Is that a possibility?
Can't even raise that possibility.
Yeah, he argued biology played a role that there were fewer female engineers at the company.
She also sued Gavin Newsom of California over his stay-at-home policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, challenging the law on behalf of churches and other entities.
She's a hero.
She's a champion.
She's a warrior.
She's a heroine.
And again, they're little small steps.
We've seen, Mr. Taylor, the DHS, the entire Civil Rights Enforcement Division has been gutted.
It's gone at DHS because in a lot of ways they were.
The barrier to starting the work for mass deportations because they wanted to argue about due process for every illegal.
And I know you push back on that because you do believe in the implementation of law.
I don't care about due process much for illegals.
I just boot them instantly.
But people who are here illegally, no, we need to abide by it.
We need to have good rules and enforce them consistently.
Be that as it may.
Well, Harmeet Dhillon is one of the few Indians that I think are great.
And she is like Priti Patel, who was the Interior Minister in Britain for a while.
I thought she was one of the absolute staunchest people trying to keep people out of Britain.
She wanted to send them all off to Rwanda or Burundi or wherever it was.
It was Rwanda.
It was Rwanda, which is where a lot of illegals are actually being sent to from the United
Great place for them to go.
You know, I'm sure the weather's good.
You know, suits their evolutionary nature.
There's a Costco there that has just unlimited supply of samples.
So hopefully that's true.
Okay.
I'm just trying to increase the propaganda, like you said.
No highlights of that.
That's right.
That's right.
Don't tell them about big-ass lizards.
No, please don't.
No, keep that a secret.
Well, let's see.
Okay, now, the mayor of one Southern California town has a controversial plan to eliminate the city's homeless population.
Lancaster Mayor Rex Paris is standing by his comments to give the homeless All the fentanyl they want.
And he says he doesn't have any regrets for remarks he made at a city council meeting.
He made these publicly.
They are responsible for most of our robberies, most of our rapes, and at least half of our murders.
There's nothing that we can do for these people, he said.
Just give them all the fentanyl they want.
In response, a group called Recall Rex, this is Mayor Rex Paris, led by a former political opponent, needless to say.
Has launched a recall petition urging his removal.
But he says, the situation is untenable.
I'm open to any solution that will work.
I want these people out of our city.
Is it harsh?
Yes, of course it's harsh.
But it's my obligation as the mayor of the city of Lancaster to protect the hard-working families that live here.
And I am no longer able to do it because of this homeless population.
Now, I'm tired of the word homeless.
I've complained many times that we used to have many excellent words.
Bums, winos, drifters, hobos, derelicts.
We have all these great words.
Street people, even.
But they all got a promotion.
They became homeless.
I think of homeless people as people who had some nice white picket fence, a little house in the suburbs.
It blew down through some catastrophic hurricane and now they are homeless.
No.
A lot of these people are bums.
What do you do about them?
I mean, give them fentanyl?
I mean, I guess you've got to pick up the pieces later.
But, you know, it is a real problem.
And I think we should be thinking outside the box or outside the tent if we're talking about homeless people, as they are now known.
So let's see what else we've got here.
Oh, we have a story here about a Brazilian police officer.
Did you know that in the state of California, you can become a police officer even if you're not a citizen?
I did, unfortunately, because it's crazy news.
Yes.
This guy, he was a police officer in Belmont, California.
Well, last week he was arrested for rape.
But he already had an arrest for domestic violence several years ago before he became an officer.
His name is Felipe Gomez, not a U.S. citizen.
But he is in the United States on a work permit.
So, according to a recent law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, he can serve as a police officer.
Well, and it was just four months ago that Belmont Police Chief Ken Stenquist was presenting his new recruits, including the 35-year-old Gomez, whom he praised to the skies.
Now, this was despite the fact, Mr. Kersey, that He had received, Chief Stenquist had received phone calls from both the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office and the East Palo Alto Police warning him that both those agencies had rejected Gomez because of his domestic violence arrest in 2017.
Well, Chief Stenquist thought, oh gosh, we need diversity, we need Brazilians, you know, this guy speaks Portuguese, all our Portuguese criminals, they'll just feel right at home being cuffed by him.
And when he was arrested in 2017, the arresting officer wrote that he observed a large bruise that covered most of his wife's left cheek and scratches on her right cheek.
Well, now, what was he arrested for?
Less than four months after he was presented with great fanfare to the city of Belmont, he was arrested for raping a woman deemed mentally unfit to consent to sexual intercourse.
Now, isn't that great?
Isn't that what we want our police officers doing?
Boy, oh boy.
Now, this does raise a certain question.
He was married in 2017.
According to this report, he's still married.
I wonder how his marriage is holding up.
I mean, if you're married to a guy who gets arrested for raping someone mentally unfit to consent to sexual intercourse, I imagine that would kind of put a kink in your marriage a little bit, but we'll see.
So maybe go to jail.
She may just ditch him for somebody more better.
She's a Brazilian citizen, too.
Maybe she should just go home where, you know, things are more Brazilian.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I'm sorry to say, our couple story runneth over, but our time runneth under.
And as we always must, we must bring this delightful moment to an end.
So thank you, Mr. Kersey, for your...
Irreplaceable Services.
And ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for your attention.
It is a pleasure, a joy, and a delight to spend this time with you.
And we look forward to doing the same next week.
