Blacks ‘Laid the Foundations of Modern Britain’
Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey marvel at Britain’s appalling self-inflicted wounds. They also discuss Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez, common sense in Denmark, and the voice of AmRen.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear listeners, welcome to Radio Renaissance. | |
Today is June 27th, the year of our Lord, 2025. | |
I am your host, Jared Taylor, and with me is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey. | |
We begin with some bad and disheartening news. | |
That is to say, the sudden death of Z-Man, as he was known. | |
Christopher Z-Man, only 59 years old, a very prolific podcaster, essayist, conference attendee, died apparently of natural causes, was filed in his apartment just yesterday. | |
He was an American Renaissance conference speaker and frequent guest on podcasts and other items. | |
We were very, very sorry to see him go. | |
A very smart, incisive, always, always wise observer of the passing scene. | |
I believe, Mr. Kersey, you had been on an X's spaces with him just the night before, the day before. | |
Yeah, Tuesday evening. | |
So that would have been June 24th. | |
We started doing these X spaces, and there was a small list of people that I thought would have some really penetrating analysis on what's going on and understand what I was trying to accomplish. | |
And at the top of that list, sir, besides yourself, was Z-Man. | |
I thought that his writing, I thought that he epitomized Occam's razor, where he would cut through the garbage, cut through the darkness of an issue, and just get to the heart of it. | |
And that was his talent. | |
And it was really sobering when I got the call from someone that he had passed last night. | |
Well, this is shocking, isn't it? | |
Only 59 years old. | |
And apparently no foul play, nothing. | |
No, no, no, no. | |
He had just moved. | |
This is common knowledge. | |
He had just moved to a beautiful property in Berkeley Springs, and he had been renovating it. | |
And he was very happy telling me about as he was learning about various aspects of home ownership on a large property. | |
And he was very, very excited about the future, as we should be. | |
There's a lot of positive things happening. | |
And he was somebody who did his part in terms of trying to alert our people to what was happening. | |
And he didn't do it in vain either. | |
Let's put it that way. | |
No, no, he was very popular, well-respected, and influential. | |
Well, this was indeed terrible news. | |
Well, we will move on to our usual podcast, almost as if nothing has happened, but this will hang heavy on our hearts for some time. | |
We will start, as we usually do, with comments from listeners. | |
One writes in a say, I have enjoyed the insightful articles on the Amran website for many years, but of particular enjoyment is being able to listen to the audio versions. | |
This allows for multitasking and car listening, etc. | |
I'm certain the person who reads these articles is not AI because it just sounds too authentic. | |
His voice is enjoyable. | |
These articles are clearly recorded professionally. | |
Can you tell me more about this captivating and compelling voice? | |
Well, I can. | |
He is a language teacher who lives near Montgomery Bell State Park. | |
That is where Amran conferences are held. | |
He's a longtime advocate for our cause, and he's been to four American Renaissance conferences. | |
Just a few years ago, Fino, as he's known to his friends, he approached me about adding an audio feature to our articles. | |
And he is an audio production hobbyist who tells folks that he has a face for radio, but he prefers that listeners imagine that he looks like Chris Hemsworth. | |
Now, Mr. Kersey, you are much more likely than I to know who Chris Hemsworth is. | |
Do tell. | |
Yeah, he's Captain Kirk's dad. | |
No, Chris Hemsworth is an Australian actor who has done a tremendous job in the Marvel Cinematic Universe playing the Nordic God Thor. | |
Oh, I see. | |
The Nordic God Thor. | |
Well, dear me, Chris Hemsworth. | |
So we will imagine him looking like Chris Hemsworth. | |
I'm afraid that's not exactly the person that would have occurred to me. | |
But so, yes, he does a wonderful job. | |
We are very grateful for his help. | |
It's really expanded our reach. | |
And I agree. | |
He's got a wonderful voice. | |
He does this very professionally. | |
It's very impressive to see how all this works. | |
And yes, a genuine human being, not a genuine human being who doesn't live in Bangalore for that matter. | |
So we are very grateful for him. | |
Let's see, another comment. | |
You've said you appreciate corrections no matter how pedantic. | |
So I must correct your pronunciation of a town here in Florida that you mentioned on a recent podcast. | |
You put the accent on the first syllable. | |
It is actually on the second syllable. | |
So it is pronounced Kissime, Florida. | |
Now, it is true. | |
I called it Kissime. | |
And I said it without even thinking about how that pronunciation would probably evoke a lot of hilarity among the junior high and high school students. | |
Kissime. | |
But no, I'd always just assumed that it was Kissimmee, but that is incorrect. | |
And I will endeavor never to pronounce it that way again. | |
Kissimi. | |
Did you know that, Mr. Kersey? | |
It's Kissime, Florida. | |
I've heard it pronounced that way, having grown up in the South. | |
That is a city that I am familiar with. | |
But you said it so quickly and with such force that I didn't even think about it. | |
That's one of the ways I was taught. | |
If you don't know the correct annunciation of a word, just say it with gusto. | |
Most people would be like, wow, that's how you pronounce it. | |
Okay. | |
I guess I'd read it so many times and mentally pronounce it to myself incorrectly. | |
And as I was saying, without even thinking of what the local high school lads might think that pronunciation might mean. | |
But anyway. | |
All right. | |
Now, here is Another comment. | |
I have a question. | |
How do you think that some of the founding fathers, like Jefferson, thought that we might be able to assimilate the Indians? | |
What does that affect the vision of America as a white country? | |
Well, Thomas Jefferson had complicated ideas about the Indians. | |
At one time, he did think that they could be assimilated, they could be westernized, they could be Christianized, and they could sort of blend in with the American population. | |
Later on, he talked about just separation, if they couldn't adopt our ways. | |
And he also thought that they might eventually die off if they did not learn how to farm, be civilized, and act like white people. | |
So he had a number of different views about what the fate of the Indians was going to be. | |
Also, he wrote about America being the nest, the United States being the nest from which North and South America would be populated. | |
And it would be all European without blot or mixture, as he used to say. | |
So perhaps he thought that they would eventually just go to the wall. | |
But he had complicated views. | |
Let's see, another comment here. | |
This is really rather interesting. | |
This listener says, I predict we're five to ten years away from the ability for viewers to sculpt their own protagonists and antagonists in movies the same way you can create your character in modern video games. | |
That is to say, you'll be able to change the sex, race, et cetera, of all the main characters of a movie. | |
Well, I guess when you think about it, the extraordinary things done with AI, I suppose this is possible. | |
He goes on to say, one of the main arguments for the forced diversity that we always hear about is this. | |
Imagine some hypothetical black girl who never sees leaders, scientists, teachers, et cetera, who look like her. | |
So logically, the people, the liberals, making these arguments should rejoice once this kind of character choice technology is developed for movies and cheap enough for mass consumption. | |
Because that little black girl can finally make every positive character look like her. | |
However, he says, I predict they would fight to ban this technology. | |
Why? | |
Because the so-called role models have never been about motivating the little black girl. | |
It is and always has been about forcing the white man to watch forced diversity. | |
Well, I think there is a certain amount of making white men watch forced diversity, but I think there is a genuine sentiment among some people to think, oh my gosh, poor little black girls, they never see black girls as judges and scientists and police detectives. | |
So we really need to give them a chance to see that and be inspired. | |
I don't completely discount that. | |
However, it is fascinating to imagine technology that would allow you to say, okay, I want all the good guys to be white and all the bad guys to be Asian. | |
So you could do something like that. | |
On the other hand, if you could do that, Mr. Kersey, I suppose it would mean that the plot could no longer have any race-related element to it. | |
You couldn't have all the white people being racist if all the white heroes or all the white characters, well, I suppose you could, well, if you wanted all the bad people to be white, then I don't know, if you start fooling around with the races, then the whole he's a racist element gets a little bit complicated. | |
Yeah, you know, it's funny. | |
I love movies, you know that. | |
And I love watching the making of movies. | |
And I just happened to watch this documentary called RoboDock about the making of RoboCop. | |
And at the very beginning of the movie, the casting director makes it clear that they had to have a multiracial gang to face the protagonist because they didn't want the movie to be deemed racist. | |
They couldn't be black sounding. | |
That's exactly what the casting director told the producers. | |
And this is part of the movie about the making of the movie? | |
It's a fascinating documentary about RoboCop, a 1987 movie set in Detroit. | |
And they had to make sure that you had a multiracial gang. | |
It was all basically white guys. | |
There was one black guy. | |
But because the casting director said, we don't want this movie to be described as racist. | |
So. | |
No, can't have that. | |
Can't have that. | |
Well, this is an article that was called to my attention by a listener. | |
I thought it was very interesting. | |
And it was an article that appeared in one of Denmark's largest tablet newspapers. | |
It's called BT. | |
And the title was, They Should Not Be Integrated. | |
They should be sent home. | |
And it's about immigrants. | |
It goes on to point out that Danes will be a minority in their own country by 2096, assuming current population trends continue. | |
Current population is 6 million in Denmark, including 1 million immigrants, 1 in 6. | |
The article argues that remigration is necessary for the survival of ethnic Danes. | |
The country is highly functional, works well, thanks to Danish culture, values, and norms. | |
That's another way of saying, thanks to Danish people. | |
Let's put it right on the line, BT. | |
And the article goes on, stating we may disagree on what the optimal tax rates might be, but one thing should be irrefutable. | |
Danes must be a majority in their own country. | |
Hooray. | |
Goes on to say, government and parliament must prioritize. | |
They must decide that the most important thing is to keep the majority population Danish. | |
Remigration is necessary. | |
Now, can you imagine an article like that or an article talking about a homeland for white people in the United States appearing in a major newspaper? | |
I thought this was just remarkable. | |
I actually can. | |
I think you have to go back to an article that you mentioned less than a month and a half ago, sir. | |
And that was a fair profile of Camus, who you broke bread with at his estate in France. | |
That was unthinkable for my entire life. | |
And it was very, very surprising. | |
Although the article did not come right out and say, well, he's right. | |
We need a white country. | |
But it came pretty doggone close. | |
You're right. | |
I don't want to stress what I'm about to say here, sir, because we've got so many stories, but this is the moment, guys, that all the hard work of the New Century Foundation, it's paying off. | |
We're right. | |
You know, it's that simple. | |
And you're seeing that now with the gatekeepers of Conservatism Inc., whatever you want to call it, they've been washed away and they've been forced to realize that, hey, the water is not that bad. | |
We were afraid to get in. | |
It's like Colin Flaherty told me one time. | |
He said that he was embarrassed that he turned down an invitation to speak at American Renaissance because he didn't have the courage to. | |
And then he said, what was I afraid of? | |
And with Z-Man's passing, I think that's one thing you have to really reflect on. | |
You know, our time on earth is short for everyone. | |
And, you know, our posterity is going to be here, hopefully, for a very, very long time. | |
And that's what American Renaissance stands for, to fight for them, to fight for those who have yet to be born. | |
And that leads us to the final comment. | |
Someone writes in to say, I think it's safe to say you don't consider blacks or other non-whites as true Americans. | |
I understand you have a healthy appreciation for your people, but respectfully, how can you not also recognize that it wasn't just whites who have had an integral role in this nation? | |
Blacks and Indians fought the Revolutionary War as well as subsequent wars. | |
Is it really fair to say they aren't as American just because they are of a different race? | |
Well, to me, what's important is who's white. | |
I care about the United States of America, but I care more about white people. | |
And this is a conception of the United States that is popular, of course, these days. | |
Elon Musk was promoting this idea when he was talking about H-1B visas. | |
We're like a sports team. | |
We'll just import the best players. | |
We don't care what race they are or language or religion or anything like that. | |
And then our team will win. | |
I don't feel that way. | |
I care more about my race than I care about the United States of America as a political entity. | |
That's the way it is. | |
And I think that's the way increasingly most white people think about it. | |
And if that means that the United States of America has to be broken up into various ethnic domains, so be it. | |
But I have a fellow feeling and a sense of camaraderie and biological connectedness with Europeans that is greater and will be more permanent than any connection that I might have simply because I share the same color passport with somebody who is not white. | |
That's the long and short of it. | |
So we can quibble about how American different people are. | |
But to me, that's not the point. | |
My question is, who's part of my family and who isn't? | |
That's where I draw the line. | |
And without feeling any hostility to people who are not part of my family, I have always worked for the last 35 years to establish conditions in which my family can survive and prosper. | |
So that is my reply. | |
Who is more American? | |
Who's less American? | |
That to me is not that interesting a question, ultimately, because my concern is my family, not the United States as a political entity. | |
Anyway, yes, Mr. Kersey, I think that things are definitely moving in our way. | |
People who, as you said before, conventional conservatives who are terrified of the idea of race, are beginning to realize, well, yep, it sure matters. | |
You simply cannot build a multiracial America and expect it to continue as anything resembling what the founders had in mind. | |
Anyway, yes, we do love to hear from our listeners, and there are two ways to get to us. | |
Please call things to our attention if we've missed them, things that are important. | |
And as the other commenter said about errors, we do like to have our errors corrected, even if they seem minor. | |
And I'm glad to say that I've now learned the proper pronunciation of Kasimi. | |
And as I say, I will hope to correctly pronounce that word forever and ever. | |
And the way to reach us, you can write to me directly at amran.com, amre n.com, the contact us page, and you can send a message straight to me. | |
And there is another way. | |
Yeah, really simple, guys. | |
Because we live here at protonmail.com. | |
Once again, that email address is because we live here at protonmail.com. | |
I'd be remiss if I didn't encourage you also to follow me on Twitter at BWLH underscore. | |
And you can follow Mr. Taylor at RealJar Taylor. | |
Real Jar Taylor. | |
So, Mr. Kersey, we, of course, have spoken already about the riots in Los Angeles. | |
But do you have a perspective on this that comes from that great national treasure of ours, Heather MacDonald? | |
So could you please share it? | |
Yeah. | |
This was published in the Wall Street Journal. | |
And again, you cannot underestimate how impactful a story like this is being published in the Wall Street Journal, a paper that has been terrified of talking about the negative impact of immigration. | |
She writes this, widespread immigration enforcement began on February, I'm sorry, on Friday, June 6th, leading to continued protest and unrest across LA County. | |
Community leaders reported incidents of ICE appearing at elementary school graduations, disrupting the legitimate immigration process at various courthouses and aggressively raiding workplaces and locations like Home Depot. | |
These actions, perceived as arbitrary and invasive, sparked outrage among residents and galvanized the public into widespread demonstrations across LA County. | |
We're not going away. | |
And anti-ICE protesters set cars ablaze through rocks and pieces of concrete at law enforcement and blocked highways in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago, leading Trump to deploy thousands of National Guard troops. | |
Now let's take a look at the other side as she writes about Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam stated earlier this month in the department, the department will continue to sustain and increase their operations in the LA area. | |
Quote, we are not going away. | |
We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city, Noam said. | |
So we've got a situation. | |
By the way, that's my apologies. | |
That's the backstory. | |
So the way that this was set up, the way that to lead into this story to talk about all that's happened in Los Angeles, it's really important to have that backstory of just understanding the two sides. | |
So, Heather McDonald would write this for the Wall Street Journal: that the title of the piece was weird. | |
A judge shrugged off some stray violent incidents. | |
Los Angeles police sources tell a very different story. | |
Quote, we don't have SHIT under control, an LAPD commander told Heather McDonald a couple weeks ago. | |
It's a godsend that the National Guard and the Marines are here. | |
Officers on the street felt the same way, though the LAPD forbids them to express that view in public, the commander said. | |
There are two different pictures of what has happened in LA, the official one from California's elected leaders in the media and the ground-level view from law enforcement. | |
A couple Saturdays ago, a week after Trump activated the National Guard and six days after Governor Gavin Newsom told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that local law enforcement officers were sufficient to maintain order, a crowd broke into an ICE detention center downtown to liberate the detainees. | |
The vandals overpowered the skeletal crew of National Guard soldiers using improvised bombs made from M80 firecrackers, nails, and broken glass. | |
Eventually, 100 law enforcement officers arrived to put down the attempted jailbreak, but not before significant damage to the facility. | |
The day after, or I'm sorry, the day before, according to the commander that McDonald interviewed, a mob of several dozen surrounded two ICE agents, taking an illegal alien into custody on Vermont Boulevard in L.A. Six men jumped out of a truck, grabbed the handcuffed suspect from the back of the ICE van, threw the suspect into their truck, and fled. | |
Those ICE agents gave chase, but without sirens or lights, the pursuit was futile. | |
I'd never heard that. | |
Had you heard about that? | |
Sir, I had not heard that. | |
And that's why this piece was just mind-blowing because, you know, in journalism, you're taught, you know, the inverted pyramid. | |
You'd think that would be at the top of the story. | |
And that was kind of buried within. | |
It's like, holy cow, like, what? | |
This is like a scene out of a movie. | |
Yes, yes. | |
How often do you see criminals actually take a cuffed guy out of the back of some sort of law enforcement vehicle and spirit him away? | |
Wow. | |
Yes. | |
I'm sorry. | |
Continue, please. | |
No, it's funny because there's a movie called The Last Stand with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and that's actually the plot. | |
They have to get a Mexican cartel leader out of a car, out of police custody. | |
And as I'm sitting here reading this story, I'm just thinking about just, here's just some gangbanger that these illegal aliens are trying to get out. | |
And they succeeded because the commander said to McDonald that the LAPD didn't put out an alert for its officers to apprehend the fleeing abduction squad, presumably, sir, to avoid violating Los Angeles's sanctuary law, which bans using city personnel for federal immigration enforcement. | |
So, gosh, these people pull off a caper like that. | |
And the LAPD said, well, we're just going to look the other way. | |
Yeah. | |
And the LAPD commander that Heather McDonald is interviewing for this piece under anonymity views California's sanctuary policies and its opposition to the National Guard deployment as equally misguided. | |
Quote, it would be safer if we could work with ICE. | |
We should block off the street, assist their agents in making arrests, end quote. | |
President Trump should provide more soldiers, not fewer, the commander insisted. | |
They could then walk the streets with local officers during this time of anarchy. | |
And that's what this is. | |
I mean, it's anarcho-tyranny. | |
It's Sam Francis', you know, greatest contribution to our political thought come to life. | |
Wow. | |
Wow. | |
Well, you know, when Trump did send in the National Guard, I couldn't help thinking, you know, this guy, you never know. | |
He exaggerates. | |
We know that. | |
And he likes to make a big effect, to make a snappy effect. | |
Is the National Guard really necessary? | |
And you hear both sides. | |
This is the first time I've heard any account by a local police commander who said, yeah, we needed these guys. | |
This is very convincing. | |
Yeah, the official narrative that LA is and now has been under control since the first ICE officer was targeted, that the protests were largely peaceful, had no grounds for larger concern, raises the question, how much rioting is acceptable? | |
A partial inventory of recent activities now deemed consistent with overall public order. | |
Launching commercial-grade fireworks loaded with nails and broken glass at police in the hope of blinding and maiming them, hurling Molotov cocktails at officers, stoning a squad car with a female officer trapped inside, dropping cement blocks, scooters, and grocery carts from freeway overpasses onto California highway patrol officers, | |
commandeering part of a highway, blocking intersections with flaming dumpsters, defacing city landmarks with graffiti, and smashing into and looting retailers, including Adidas, Apple, CVS, T-Mobile, jewelry stores, and a gasoline station. | |
Then again, sir, in California, I think you can legally steal under $1,000 in property. | |
So were they actually looting if the state of California is not going to prosecute said thievery? | |
Now, I mean, this article was mind-blowing because I just kept thinking back, sir, to those early days of the George Floyd insurrection and how that was allowed to progress. | |
And we're still seeing violence to a pretty shocking degree in Portland, where one of the federal buildings is under assault every night by Antifa. | |
Is that the case still now? | |
is still the case. | |
There are Andy Neoh on Twitter, one of the more courageous journalists out there who has faced death threats and slander and libel and defamation from the well-connected Antifa network is covering it with a lot of people. | |
Andy No. | |
I don't know. | |
I don't know. | |
I knew someone with Neo. | |
I knew someone with the exact same spelling that I grew up with, and it was always Neo. | |
So no, we'll just say Andy No. | |
Okay. | |
But I will say Andy, keep reporting. | |
Yes. | |
Yes, yes. | |
Andy, keep reporting. | |
No, It's quite remarkable, quite remarkable, this utter defiance of American law and the way that so many, so many people who are in positions of authority seem to think this is just fine. | |
The mayor, the governor, all think, well, just these people are wonderful. | |
We need to keep them, no matter whether they're criminals here legally or not, it doesn't matter. | |
But yeah, is there more to this story? | |
Just Heather McDonough's story? | |
You know, there's just more to this story where it talks about the various aspects of the emergency curfew that was put in place. | |
And it ends with this. | |
Contrary to the media narrative, National Guard soldiers aren't engaged in domestic law enforcement. | |
They aren't patrolling the streets and arresting looters and vandals. | |
Their sole purpose is to stand guard on federal buildings and protect federal officers. | |
This is known as command presence. | |
A line of defense around federal property creates one fewer target for local law enforcement to worry about, freeing up LAPD officers and sheriff's deputies to focus on violence elsewhere. | |
But the problem is, sir, when you have the mayor, the light-skinned black mayor, Karen Bass, basically saying that there's no violence. | |
This is all peaceful. | |
These people have a right to free speech and their First Amendment rights and saying that this is a nation of immigrants. | |
This is a city of immigrants. | |
You're siding with and you're putting in place, sir, protections for illegal immigrants. | |
I mean, we talked about it last week. | |
The owner of the female pro-soccer team there, Bob Iger, who's the CEO of Disney. | |
They've changed the name of the soccer team to Immigrant City Football Club. | |
What? | |
The Los Angeles Dodgers owner gave a million dollars to be illegal immigrants in the city. | |
Wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
The pro soccer team, the woman's soccer team, is Immigrant City? | |
Yes, it used to be, I think it used to be called Angel City. | |
Sorry, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of pro soccer, men or female, but I did read the story. | |
And yes, Outkick.com, which we've talked about a lot on this program, they cover this stuff, so I don't have to. | |
And yeah, Immigrant City FC, Immigrant City Football Club. | |
I knew it not. | |
Good crap. | |
How you do? | |
Wow. | |
Why don't call it Outlaw City or Gangbanger City or to use the word that shows up in this next story, Cholo City? | |
Because a Los Angeles County official is being investigated by the FBI after she posted a video to social media calling on gang members to defend their territory in Los Angeles from ICE. | |
Right. | |
Exactly what those people were doing that you mentioned in the Heather McDonald article. | |
She says, I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles, she said in her video. | |
A cholo. | |
That means a mestizo criminal. | |
Some people use it as a badge of pride. | |
Oh, I'm cholo. | |
18th Street, Florencia. | |
These are names of gangs. | |
Where's the leadership at? | |
Well, where did this woman learn English? | |
Her name is Gonzalez. | |
In any case, she's a county official, and she says, let's see, you guys are all about territory. | |
You guys tag everything. | |
You claim hood. | |
And now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, ain't a peep out of you. | |
Boy, don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing, Gonzalez said. | |
If you're not shown up right now trying to help out and organize, I don't want to hear a peep out of you once they're gone. | |
Get your effing members in order. | |
I guess go out and kill ICE agents, huh? | |
She then deleted the video shortly after it, but she got a visit from the FBI agents at home. | |
I don't know what the consequence of that visit are. | |
She is an official with the city of Cudahy. | |
I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. | |
And the city of Cudahy released a statement saying that her personal views do not represent the views or official position of this city. | |
Well, I should certainly hope not. | |
But this, I mean, Gonzamos, of course. | |
That is what a person of that name is going to think. | |
We want our gangbangers. | |
They may be criminals, but they're our guys. | |
They're on our side. | |
We want to turn them loose against American law enforcement. | |
This is the kind of country we have. | |
And I think it is great, absolutely great, to see this kind of line being divided, this dividing line appearing so clearly and brilliantly. | |
Now, you have a similar story, Mr. Kersey, about anti-ICE thugs who helped a child rapist flee from the clutches of federal law enforcement. | |
I do. | |
I just want to make one quick observation on that story. | |
That is one of those great moments where the whole concept of civic nationalism falls apart. | |
And that's where we're headed right now. | |
That's the scope of what Trump just simply closing the border, basically. | |
The story we talked about last week, zero catch and release in May of 2025 compared to 62,000 in May of 2024. | |
And, you know, these cities are basically repositories. | |
They're asylum. | |
They're sanctuaries for illegal aliens. | |
And now we're seeing elected officials call up rival gangs to protect their people. | |
It's astonishing, really. | |
Yep. | |
Yep. | |
She is the vice mayor of the city of Canahi. | |
Yep. | |
Isn't that great? | |
Isn't that great? | |
Just what you are. | |
Cynthia Gonzalez. | |
Boy. | |
And she's got a PhD in education. | |
One of the last things Z-Man said on that X Space, we were talking about this story and we were wondering at what point will we see Eric Prince get that contract to start the mass deportations. | |
And Z-Man put it best, just cut through it all and said, at some point, you have to arrest individuals who have been elected to represent their constituents who instead are agitating for the rights of illegal aliens who are keeping ICE out. | |
I mean, look, this is incitement. | |
This is absolute incitement to lawbreaking. | |
Correct. | |
And here's another example from the New York Post. | |
Anti-ICE activists successfully helped a migrant child rapist flee the feds as they attempted to nab him in Denver, Colorado. | |
This was a few weeks ago, ladies and gentlemen. | |
Immigration agents were Trying to colloque. | |
Gosh, I can't even pronounce this word right now. | |
Trying to capture Jose Reyes Leon Durais, who hails from El Salvador and was convicted of child rape in Italy, but were disrupted by the activist group that posts of the Fed's whereabouts, ICE wrote on X. Anti-ICE activist group Colorado Rapid Response shared the agent's location on social media, the Fed said. | |
As a result, the criminal illegal immigrant was able to flee. | |
Quote, during our surveillance of Leon, members of the Colorado Rapid Response arrived on scene and alerted him to law enforcement presence, which allowed him to escape arrest, ICE said. | |
Groups like this interfere with ICE's ability to keep communities safe. | |
This is incredible. | |
They've got this. | |
I wonder, I'm sure these are all Spanish-speaking so-called Americans, but this is clearly this is a crime. | |
You're interfering with law enforcement. | |
And this is where RICO, this is where DHS, this is where you have to get serious. | |
When you have groups that are basically engaging, and I'm not going to use this term loosely, but terrorism. | |
This is a guy who was, what, wanted in Italy, convicted of child rape in Italy, just a really bad dude. | |
And this is the kind of person that Colorado Rapid Response deems a poster child to protect from the long arms of the law. | |
And you would think that it, you know, couldn't it maybe be a maid who works in some suburban community who cleans up homes and or a janitor or a cook? | |
But no, these people, these people look at someone who's worth protecting, and it's a child rapist. | |
What does that tell you about these people? | |
Well, it tells you, it tells you one thing, that America is up for grabs for anybody who is here, whether he's a criminal, a child rapist, a murderer, hates America, no matter who he is, he belongs here. | |
If he got here, he belongs here. | |
No, this is absolutely wrong, and this kind of criminal activity has got to be punished severely. | |
I was delighted, of course, when that local judge who ushered an illegal immigrant who was subject to an ICE detainer out the back door of a courthouse. | |
Remember that? | |
I can't remember what state that was in. | |
But this lady judge, didn't they arrest her? | |
They did. | |
Forgive me forgetting the state. | |
I was just thinking, I was talking to Dan Lyman, who broke the story of the New Mexico judge who had some Hispanic gangbangers living with him and having Christmas dinner with him. | |
And it's like, why would this guy have gangbangers in his home over for Christmas Eve turkey and drinks and post this on social media? | |
It's like, what's going on? | |
Just goes to show you, blood is thicker than law. | |
Fellow Hispanics, they've got a real sense of community. | |
Well, let's see. | |
Yes, that was an absolutely horrible story. | |
But, you know, and who's the mayor of, let's see, Colorado. | |
Colorado is a whole, it's an entire sanctuary state and the city is, Dentwood, this, This was in Denver. | |
Denver's mayor, Mike Johnston, vowed to shield migrants in the sanctuary city from mass deportation back during Trump's run-up to his election by using local cops. | |
And he said 50,000 residents stationed at the county line, calling it a tenement square moment. | |
Denver is a city that's laying off city employees because they've allocated so many resources, so much money toward helping out illegal aliens. | |
You know, Denver, I used to travel a lot out west, and that's one of my favorite cities. | |
And it is unrecognizable now what's happened to that state. | |
And it's one of the great tragedies of egalitarianism, what it's done to convert a state that used to have the politics of Wyoming, and now it has the politics of Berkeley. | |
I would love to know what the mayor had to say about this little incident, but I bet nobody really held his feet to the fire on it. | |
Well, he should have been arrested already. | |
True. | |
Well, let's see. | |
Other news lately. | |
We have spoken several times about the stabbing incident in Frisco, Texas at the Track Meet. | |
White track star Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death by black 18-year-old Carmelo Anthony. | |
It was because the black was in the wrong tent. | |
He was sitting with people from the opposing team or a different team that he wasn't part of. | |
He was told to leave. | |
And as a witness told the police, Anthony had said he grabbed his bag, opened it, and reached inside and then said to the white guy, touch me and see what happens. | |
And then I haven't heard anything definitive as to whether or not the white guy actually laid hands on him to send him out. | |
But he then took the knife out of the bag and stabbed the white guy, Austin Metcalf, to death. | |
So he has just been formally indicted. | |
He will go to trial or there'll be some kind of plea deal. | |
At this point, my suspicion is no matter how strong the evidence against him, there won't be a plea deal because of all of the racial posing that we're getting from his side. | |
Just after the indictment, Dominique Alexander, who is the founder and president of the Next Generation Action Network, he is the spokesman for Carmelo Anthony's family. | |
Well, he took to X and he says, to the racists, the biggest, to the racists, the bigots, and those filled with hate who've targeted Carmelo, his family, and even myself. | |
You don't intimidate us. | |
We're not backing down. | |
This case is yet another example of what it means to be black in America, where even self-defense is questioned and politicized. | |
Yeah, whip a knife out and stab an unarmed guy. | |
That's self-defense. | |
My involvement, like that of many others, came as a direct response to the overwhelming hate, threats, and outside influence surrounding this case since day one. | |
These bigots try to prevent us from standing up for our baby, our boy. | |
Well, after that kind of statement, You know, it's hard to accept a plea deal. | |
If this guy really thinks this is all pure racism, this is pure self-defense, then they got to go to trial. | |
So we'll see. | |
We'll see. | |
I hope justice is quick in this case. | |
Now, moving to Great Britain. | |
Did you know, I just learned this for the first time, that June 22nd is an annual commemoration called Windrush Day in Great Britain. | |
Windrush, that's spelled W-I-N-D-R-U-S, R-U-S-H. | |
I beg your pardon. | |
And Windrush Day celebrates the contributions of the Windrush generation. | |
That means the first large-scale black immigration to Britain. | |
And the name comes from the ship Empire Windrush, which arrived in 1948 with 1,000 passengers on board, mostly Caribbean blacks. | |
So this year was the 77th anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush. | |
And Labor Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he got up on his hind legs behind a podium and he thanked those blacks personally. | |
He said, this government will never forget the legacy of the Windrush generation who laid the foundations for modern Britain. | |
This is breathtaking, Mr. Kersey. | |
These blacks who showed up from the Caribbean laid the foundations for modern Britain. | |
He went on to say, it was an honor to thank them in person this week and celebrate the ongoing contribution of the Windrush generations. | |
They've got generations now. | |
Boy, oh boy, the black population in Britain is a constant problem. | |
Crime, violence, welfare dependency. | |
And to make this kind of statement on public, he's the prime minister of Great Britain. | |
What in heaven's name is going on? | |
That I've said many times. | |
Great Britain used to be such a wonderful country. | |
In some respects, it was the top country in the world. | |
And then to have sunk so low is so dismal, absolutely contemptible. | |
Meanwhile, the Home Secretary of Great Britain has appointed someone by the name of Clive Foster to be the first Windrush Commissioner. | |
There is now a Windrush Commissioner. | |
He is part of the government's commitment to achieve justice for the victims of the Home Office Windrush scandal. | |
I've never heard of the Home Office Windrush scandal, but there is such a thing. | |
The commissioner, newly created just for Clive Foster, has a three-year term, and he will provide independent oversight of the government's work to address this horrible scandal, the Windrush scandal. | |
So, Yvette Cooper, she's the home secretary. | |
She's one of these short-haired, lesbian-looking white ladies, but is reportedly married with three children. | |
But looking at her photograph, I would have laid money on it that she was one of those. | |
She says, I look forward to working closely with the Reverend Foster as we continue our vital work to rebuild trust and deliver justice that the Windrush generations so rightfully deserve. | |
Well, Yvette Cooper has published two books. | |
One is called, She Speaks, The Power of Women's Voices. | |
I have not read She Speaks the Power of Women's Voices, but I don't think it's about Grand Opera. | |
And she's also written one called, She Speaks Women's Speeches That Changed the World from Pankhurst to Greeta. | |
You know who Pankhurst would mean? | |
That's Emmeline Pankhurst. | |
She was a British suffragette. | |
Her daughter, Christabel, was also. | |
You like her. | |
Yes. | |
Her daughter, Christabel, was such a wild suffragette, she actually turned into a bomb thrower. | |
I don't think the suffragettes in the United States ever threw bombs and built and set fires and things, but boy, they really wanted the vote, huh? | |
Well, so what is this Home Office Windrush scandal of which I have just learned? | |
Well, apparently back in 2012, then Home Secretary Teresa May, she, by the way, is the lady that sent me a letter saying that I'm banned from Britain. | |
The very same person. | |
She later on became Prime Minister of Britain. | |
But Teresa May, she started requiring proof of legal status for access to work, housing, health care, and benefits. | |
What an obvious ogre. | |
And as it turns out, many of these windrush newcomers who arrived as children on their parents' passports, they didn't have these formal records of legal arrival. | |
And so at least, gasp, get this, 83 were wrongly deported and others were detained or denied reentry. | |
And this caused significant hardship, trauma, and a sense of betrayal. | |
So a compensation scheme was launched in 2019, but by 2021, only 5% of eligible victims had received payments. | |
So this commission is going to go rooting through the black people of Great Britain, making sure they get their payouts. | |
And as of 2024, over 16,000 people have received at least documentation through the Windrush Help Team. | |
But a backlog of 3,000 cases persist, and the compensation scheme has been criticized for low payouts. | |
So anyway, now we have the first Windrush Commissioner. | |
He's going to be a civilian overseer of this compensation scheme. | |
So let's find out a little about him. | |
Clive Foster, who is absolutely as black as can be, he was awarded an MBE for services to the Windrush generation and broader community. | |
MBE that he is a member of the most excellent order of the British Empire. | |
Can you imagine the people who set up these awards, the most excellent order of the British Empire, and this guy, this guy gets it because he's black and because he is dedicating his life to making sure black people succeed in their shakedown of the United Kingdom. | |
He is a member of the most excellent Order of the British Empire. | |
Most excellent, most excellent. | |
He is apparently an employee of something called, what's the name of the university? | |
He is a university guy, but he is a multi-faith manager. | |
Let's see. | |
It is Nottingham Trust University. | |
What does a multi-faith manager do? | |
He says, we're building a program of initiatives and opportunities to create an interfaith dialogue. | |
I believe people can understand and work across different faiths are going to put themselves in a really advantageous position. | |
Moving forward, we want to create more and more events where people with and without faith can explore, talk, question, and challenge. | |
Wow, well, when I was in college, I don't think we had a multi-faith manager. | |
But that's what they have in Nottingham Trust University. | |
Well, okay. | |
He's also, by the way, the senior pastor at Pilgrim Church in Nottingham. | |
I checked its website. | |
The pastoral staff of five is all black. | |
And Mr. Kersey, I don't think they'd turn you away at the door, but they advertise healing services. | |
And they ran a nice photo of a nice black lady in a white gown laying hands on another nice black lady in a white gown. | |
And it says, come and experience divine healing. | |
And the website's got photos of youth groups and men's groups and women's groups. | |
I did see an occasional rare white face in this inky sea of Africans. | |
But there you go. | |
You could go for a nice divine healing. | |
That's probably Austin Metcalf's dad, sir. | |
Could have been. | |
Could have been. | |
But good grief, what a dispiriting story about Great Britain. | |
I just shake my head. | |
I roll my eyes. | |
I try to look the other way, but I cannot help it. | |
So, Mr. Kersey, tell us about the man who may be, who is very likely to be, the next mayor of New York City. | |
Wow. | |
If there's a story that is causing an electrifying moment across the social media sphere, it would be this one. | |
Well, electrify us. | |
I'm going to. | |
I wish I didn't have to, because if we had actually done a good job of deciding what creates a citizen, if we actually had your foresight into putting the interest of race first ahead of everything, this wouldn't be a debate. | |
But this is where we are. | |
This is reality. | |
And New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate, Zoran Mamdani. | |
Am I pronouncing that correctly? | |
I don't even care if I'm pronouncing that correctly. | |
I think you actually are. | |
I think you are. | |
Zoron Mamdani. | |
Yes. | |
Sorry. | |
Go ahead. | |
So he said he wants to shift the tax burden to richer and wider neighborhoods if he secures election in November. | |
For those who don't know, Mamdani just won the Democratic primary in New York City on Tuesday night, June 24th. | |
He's a 33-year-old, I believe, Indian Muslim who's only been a citizen for, what, seven years, five years, something like that. | |
Sounds about right. | |
Yeah, it does sound about right, doesn't it? | |
A housing policy document on Mandani's official website includes a pledge to shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and wider neighborhoods. | |
Yeah, that's not a typo, guys. | |
It says, shift the tax burden to more expensive homes in richer and wider neighborhoods. | |
Is that right on his website? | |
It's right on his website. | |
Gosh, Ricky Vaughn, the great individual who did so much on Twitter back during Trump 1.0 was the first one. | |
Douglas Mackey brought attention to this, and it has been proliferating all across the internet. | |
So Newsweek contacted the Mondani campaign for a comment via email on Friday outside of regular office hours. | |
So this story just broke, sir, this morning before we record it. | |
Mondani's proposals already sparked a backlash with one conservative commenter branding him racist and urging New Yorkers to support incumbent mayor Eric Adams, who's running on November 4th as an independent. | |
Of course, this is a city where we're not endorsing candidates, but I believe the Republican candidate ran unopposed. | |
Curtis Sliwa, the guy who founded the Guardian Angels there in New York, who has no chance of winning. | |
So the New York mayoral election campaign has already turned bitter with several Republicans suggesting Mondani, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Uganda, should be stripped of his American citizenship and deported. | |
Sir, that's actually one of the great white pills of this decade, that you're actually having a conversation where people are saying, why is this guy in America? | |
This guy came here legally. | |
So now the conversation has shifted from deporting mass amounts of illegal aliens to what constitutes an American. | |
Well, the question, of course, is what are the legal grounds for stripping him of U.S. citizenship? | |
But anyway. | |
Yeah, and that's convoluted because people have said that there are laws in the book about in the 1950s, fighting the communist menace. | |
People who had advocated for communism were not supposed to get citizenship. | |
That's a debate to be had another day. | |
But the fact that people are saying, why are we allowing this person to get citizenship? | |
Is every human being on earth an American in waiting in the batter's box? | |
Of course. | |
That's what the mayor of Los Angeles and the mayor of Denver and the governor of Los II States, they all think that. | |
They do. | |
Yeah. | |
American in waiting. | |
I like that. | |
Exactly. | |
Mondani's official campaign website features a policy memo under the title, Supporting Homeowners in Ending Deed Theft. | |
The document says, if elected, his administration, again, it's going to shift the tax burden to richer and wider neighborhoods. | |
It adds, the property tax system is unbalanced because assessment levels are artificially capped, so homeowners in expensive neighborhoods pay less than their fair share. | |
The mayor can fix this by pushing class assessment Percentages down for everyone and adjusting rates up, effectively lowering tax payments for homeowners in neighborhoods like Jamaica and Brownsville, while raising the amount paid in the most expensive Brooklyn brownstones, i.e., those who don't, | |
those who have too much shade equity and are not heat islands, those who have nice tree coverage in those whiter neighborhoods, because I think that the amount of trees in a neighborhood, there's a correlation to its property value. | |
You got to pay more, Whitey. | |
This Tuesday, Mondani, who began his campaign as an outsider, he defeated former New York state governor Andrew Cuomo to secure the Dem nomination. | |
He's a Democrat socialist. | |
He's running a platform that includes a number of what the Newsweek writer calls radical reforms, such as creating city-owned grocery stores, offering free child care to all New Yorkers with children aged between six weeks and five years, and imposing a 2% tax on all residents earning more than $1 million annually. | |
Now, I can tell you. | |
2%. | |
Wow. | |
Child care costs, they are expensive, but that's one of the things that when you become a father, when you become a parent, that's something that you do. | |
I mean, goodness gracious, we were paying $2,000 a month for childcare at one point. | |
Well, I guess not only is every person in the entire universe an American in waiting, everyone can be a New Yorker in waiting. | |
Everyone should be able to live in New York, no matter how poor you are. | |
Everybody gets a break. | |
Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, you know, yeah. | |
And guess what? | |
If the federal government tries to deport you, you've got vice city mayors who will call up the gangs who make your communities unsafe to protect you from the long arm of the federal government. | |
Eric Doherty, assistant news director for conservative-leaning publication Florida's Voice, said, WTF, Zoron Mamdani supports taxing wider neighborhoods in New York City higher than other boroughs. | |
This Ugandan is not only a radical Muslim socialist, but a racist. | |
NYC, please reject this psycho and choose Eric Adams instead, end quote. | |
That's what he wrote. | |
We're, of course, not endorsing that. | |
Conservative right angle news network on X shared a screenshot from Mandani's policy memo referring to a whiter neighborhoods being taxed, adding, breaking a proposal by NYC Democrat mayoral candidate Zoron Mondani to shift tax burdens to whiter neighborhoods has resurfaced. | |
You know, this is being noticed by the people that I really care about with the big followings like Charlie Kirk. | |
Dan Lyman said it best. | |
Wake up, white man. | |
The hour is late when talking about this whiter neighborhoods post. | |
And someone said it best. | |
Understand where we are. | |
I mean, this is New York City. | |
This is the big apple. | |
You know, that's one of the reasons why everyone pays attention to the New York Times. | |
What happens in New York trickles down to everywhere else? | |
And as the rising tide of color takes democratic control of more and more municipalities, cities, areas, why would you not see this same thing happen? | |
Tax assessments are racist, right? | |
Well, if black people have to pay them, of course they're racist. | |
Well, let's see. | |
Oh, I have to make a correction, by the way, before I'm corrected by a listener. | |
The university where this new Windrush official, where he is the pastor, oh no, I'm sorry, where he is the multi-faith coordinator, it is called Nottingham Trust, Nottingham Trent University. | |
I gave it the wrong name. | |
Nottingham Trent University, ladies and gentlemen. | |
Well, I got a couple of quick stories, and then we really do talk about, gosh, we'll go over time if need be and talk about the South African Navy. | |
But basketball, something of which I know nothing. | |
But apparently a Duke University freshman, a forward named Cooper Flag, has been selected as the first overall in the 2025 NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks, making him the first white American to be taken first in 48 years. | |
For heaven's sake, wow. | |
Now, apparently he's an absolutely, absolute first-class standout player, but he is the first. | |
A white guy. | |
Now, I have a question for you. | |
He's 18 years old, and he's a freshman. | |
How do freshmen become pro basketball players? | |
They just leap from freshman year into the pro basketball. | |
Well, they put in place a rule, sir, that you had to play at least one year of college basketball before you could be drafted because there were so many guys who were just drafted coming out of high school. | |
This guy would have been drafted had that rule not put in place. | |
Wow. | |
He was not good in high school. | |
He's from Maine, which makes it even stranger because most of the best white American basketball players come from areas where there are a lot of the brothers to play against. | |
I played AAU basketball, actually. | |
So I went to an all-white high school and I was at some summer camp and this guy goes, hey, man, you should come play on our team. | |
And so I played, I was the only white guy on a team and I instantly hated it because the style of play was diametrically opposite how I was taught to play basketball. | |
Make a lot of movement away from the ball, set picks, do rolling screens, press the whole game. | |
It was just shoot threes. | |
And this guy played primarily against grown up other white guys. | |
But he can play Jungle Ball too. | |
What's missing from this article is that one of his teammates at Duke, Con Knupal, was also drafted, I believe, in the top five. | |
Another white American who played at Duke, who's phenomenal. | |
He's got a couple brothers who are really great as well. | |
Well, we are running out of time, so we'll go over a little bit if need be, but tell us about the South African Navy. | |
We've been teasing that story for a long time. | |
It better be good, Mr. Kersey. | |
Well, you know, sometimes we miss a story, and this is one from the end of 2024. | |
And this is just really important to talk about what life is like 31 years after 1994 and the coronation of Nelson Mandela as the president and the defeat of apartheid South Africa. | |
South African Navy is in crisis Due to years of underfunding, a situation Vice Admiral Monde Lebuse, Chief of the Navy, highlighted in a recent briefing. | |
Admiral Lebus. | |
Admiral Lebusé. | |
Doesn't that just roll off your tongue? | |
I think if you have a Vice Admiral Lebusé, you automatically know your Navy is probably dry-docked. | |
Despite challenges, the Navy remains committed to protecting South Africa's maritime interests, but the Admiral's frank assessment laid bare the extent of the problems caused by inadequate resources. | |
As you are aware, the South African Navy has been subjected to years and years of underfunding by the government, Lubuse stated. | |
Although we, as leadership of the Navy, can understand the socio-economic prerogatives of government, which is black economic empowerment, we have used any and all platforms over the past number of years to focus the attention of South Africans on the financial plight of the Navy. | |
Years of budget cuts have left the Navy unable to meet its essential needs, leaving it neither funded, equipped, resource, nor staff to effectively counter maritime threats. | |
One of the primary responsibilities is patrolling South Africa's vast exclusive economic zone, which encompasses 1.8 million square kilometers, larger than the country's land area, and potentially grow if a continental shelf claim is approved. | |
However, the current maritime domain awareness capability essential for monitoring vessels in these waters is insufficient. | |
LeBose painted a sobering picture of the Navy's current capabilities. | |
At this point, I have to be honest by saying that the SA Navy only has a very basic idea of what is happening in our EEE zone at any given time. | |
The Navy's infrastructure is outdated and requires billions of RANs to bring it up to standard, leaving it vulnerable to illegal fishing and other maritime crimes. | |
The Navy, he said, can only watch helplessly as these crooks come into our waters and steal what belongs to us in regards to illegal fishing, foreign vessels plundering South Africa's marine resources. | |
One second, let me just find the pertinence. | |
The South African Navy, it's structured for 9,532 posts, but can only afford to pay staff of 6,356, leaving a shortfall of over 3,000 people, as LeBose pointed out. | |
For safety purposes, there's a minimum number of personnel that must work in a ship. | |
If there are not enough people for the vessel, then the vessel cannot sail. | |
Pretty common sense. | |
They've lost 1,700 personnel due to resignation, retirement, and deaths, while only 1,175 new members have joined. | |
Similarly, basically, here's what's going on. | |
The maintenance issues are another source of concern. | |
LeBose explained that various levels of maintenance required to keep vessels operational, noting that many have not undergone necessary refits or upgrades due to funding shortfalls. | |
By now, the lead vessel, the SAS Amatola, should have had three refits and she should now be undergoing her midlife upgrade. | |
Yet that vessel is the only frigate that has had only one refit to date. | |
Another ship, the Islandwana, the Islandawanda, currently undergoing a refit in Durban. | |
Similarly, the Navy submarine fleet is in a precarious state with only one partially refitted submarine. | |
It's obviously been renamed. | |
It's now named the SAS Monotha. | |
I'm not even going to try and pronounce it because it was obviously named after some Afrikaner and now it's been renamed something unpronounceable and it's not even operational. | |
So who cares? | |
The other two submarines are not sailing, awaiting a refit as a partner is to be announced. | |
Basically, the point is the Navy is forced to pay approximately $3 million annually to the ArmsScore Dockyard, which then outsources the work to outside companies, effectively making the Navy pay twice for maintenance tasks. | |
They inherited a First World Navy, just as they inherited a First World Air Force. | |
I believe, Mr. Taylor, you told us that out of 318 aircraft, only six are operational for the Air Force. | |
The Navy doesn't even have a Navy anymore because they've simply run out of resources or run out of the knowledge base to maintain what they inherited. | |
Maintenance is not a strong point among the Africans, whether American or African. | |
But the Islandwana, that's the name of this new ship. | |
Well, I hope it sinks. | |
It is one of the few occasions in which during the Zulu wars, the Zulus overran a British position and massacred every British soldier. | |
Isn't that depicted in the movie Zulu Dawn? | |
No, well, I don't know. | |
I don't know. | |
One was the Battle of Rourke's Drift. | |
That was a famous victory, by the way. | |
That was Zulu. | |
Yeah, there are two movies that are made. | |
One has Burt Lancaster, and I think it's called Zulu Dawn, and it does depict the Battle of Islandwalla, and which Islandwana. | |
Yeah, it was a terrible defeat by the British. | |
They hadn't posted their guards properly. | |
They were overwhelmed. | |
Every one of them was massacred. | |
Yeah, and the other ship is the Manthantisi. | |
I don't know what battle that depicts of whites being massacred. | |
I'm sure that's what it represents. | |
Well, Mr. Kersey, we have overstepped our time, but we will be forgiven because that's an important story about what happens to African navies when white people no longer are piloting them. | |
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we thank you so much for your attention. | |
It is a pleasure, an honor, and a joy to spend this time with you, and we look forward to doing the same next week. |
