Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, dear listeners, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Shara Taylor, and today is December 18th.
With me is my indispensable co-host, the one and only Paul Kersey.
Always glad to have him at the other end of the microphone.
As usual, we'll begin with comments from listeners.
This is one that follows a pattern so far.
Our listener writes in and say, over the past couple of weeks, the question of the 13% has come up in your podcast.
People tend to figure that 13%, meaning the black population of the United States, commits about half the murders, and so we come up with this 13-slash-50 figure.
Then people decide that probably maybe half of that 13% is men.
So because men commit most of the murders, black or white, you should be able to say 16.550.
In other words, I'm sorry, 6.550.
6.5% of the population, that is black people, commit half the murders.
Our listener goes on to say, criminality across the 6.5% is not uniform, of course, with males 10 and under and males 40 and over significantly less likely to commit a homicide.
If you strip out that subgroup from the overall black male population, you are left with roughly, what, 3 or 4% of the U.S. population committing half of all the murders nationwide.
So this person proposes 3% or 3-slash 50.
I still don't think that's entirely fair, Mr. Kersey, unless you make it absolutely explicit what you're talking about.
Also, if you're going to strip out everybody else's murders, then that would be older blacks, younger blacks, and black women.
Black women commit murders at a rate higher than that of white men.
So you have to be accurate.
If you're going to be talking about 3% or 4% of the U.S. population, namely blacks in the most crime-prone ages, then you have to decide, you have to figure out just what percentage of the murders they commit.
And that probably wouldn't be 50.
And from year to year, it would differ, but it might be 3%, 45, 3%, 45, something like that.
But these are questions that we have to be careful about not to be ambiguous.
We have to be clear about whom we are talking about.
Black males of a certain age or just black males explicitly.
All of this has to be laid out.
Another comment.
You will no doubt be reporting on Robert E. Lee being replaced in Statuberry Hall by a black teenager, Barbara Johns, who led an 1851 school walkout at a black school in Farmville, Virginia.
Let's see what the school is up to now.
Niche.com gives its county, Prince Edward County Public Schools, a C minus in academics, but an A minus in diversity.
I wonder why.
Could there be some kind of connection?
And a D in administration.
I'd be curious to know how you actually grade schools in terms of administration.
Maybe the number of administrators per student or something like that.
In any case, it's C minus and D in everything but diversity for which he gets an A minus.
I wonder why not an A+.
And here is a report on this.
It's all around, I guess.
I guess so.
Here's a report on the unveiling of the statue of Barbara Johns.
As I quote, artist Stephen Weitzman depicts Johns during a pivotal moment in her life.
She's 16 years old, speaking to her classmates at Robert Russa Moten High School in Farmville, convincing them to join her and other student organizers to strike for better school facilities and supplies.
Well, at age 16, that was her high moment.
Everything after that was pretty much downhill.
As it turns out, the Farmville case was rolled up into Brown versus Board of Education.
That included many, many different lawsuits from all around the country and rolled up into one which led to the notorious 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that said segregated schools were no good.
But this, of course, is a great and wonderful thing, despite the fact that Barbara Johns was one of these absolutely one-shot, one-trick ponies that has become famous for having done just one thing.
After that, her great achievement was go on to become a librarian at a Virginia grade school.
So there you go.
That is the person who's replacing Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest Americans who ever lived in Statuary Hall.
The other representative of the state of Virginia, of course, George Washington.
Can you imagine him looking down his nose at this non-entity black who is now the other avatar of his natal state?
I think he would have been proud of Robert E. Lee, but this Johns character, Good Grief.
House Speaker Mike Johnson at the time of the unveiling said, today we are here to honor one of America's true trailblazers, a woman who embodied the essence of the American spirit in her fight for liberty and justice and equal treatment under the law, the indomitable Barbara Rose Johns.
Thus saith Mike Johnson.
Wow, she embodied the essence of the American spirit.
And believe it or not, Mr. Kersey, Republican Virginia governor, ex-governor.
Well, I guess he's still a governor now, isn't he?
He's still the governor.
Yes, he's still the governor.
He's hanging on.
He won't be government much longer.
Glenn Young also spoke glowingly at the event.
Have to praise this Negro non-entity.
They've all got to do that.
Now, this woman reminds me so much of Rosa Parks.
I remember being quite astounded when I decided to look into, but just why was Rosa Parks this hero?
Why is it we adore her?
And all she did was sit down on a bus for about a half an hour.
That's all she did.
On the front of the bus.
Yes, yes.
In the front of the bus.
Give her some credit.
That's right.
She sat and she chose her seat.
She sat down.
It was all staged, as you know.
They had it all worked out.
She was going to be released shortly afterwards.
She was taken in and fingerprinted, treated very lovingly by the Montgomery Police Department.
But that's all it took for her to be an icon.
And I don't know why she really went to the top of the heap, whereas poor Barbara Johns, whose act is, it strikes me, as equally heroic or equally unheroic, why does Barbara Johns only now getting the credit that apparently was her due?
Well, there you go.
She was a hidden figure of the civil rights movement for decades until you remember a lot of people forget when they see this story that broke on Twitter over the past week, Mr. Taylor.
It was announced in 2020, maybe early 2021, that this was going to happen.
I think they even removed, you know, Tim Kaine watched and video recorded the Robert E. Lee statue being removed from Statuary Hall.
And we've known because you were incredulous as to why this Barbara Johns individual was picked to represent Virginia.
So we've known for years this was coming.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
It's just this celebration and the fact that the first lady of Virginia, Miss Young, was there smiling with this group of largely black school children to celebrate this momentous occasion.
I mean, again, it is, you think about the importance of Virginia.
You could have simply replaced, if you were going to replace Robert Ealy, which I think is just an absolute disgrace to begin with.
But there are plenty of other individuals who could have graced Statuary Hall to represent Virginia.
Many great Confederates.
Why not Stonewall Jackson?
Well, I'm actually worried.
I'm actually worried that with the Democrats taking complete control of Virginia because of the worst governor nominee in the history of American politics, Winson Sears.
Winsome Sears.
Winsome Sears.
Yes.
She really was a terrible loser, wasn't she?
She was hopefully the swain song of the old remnants of the GOP that were being washed away.
But my point is, with the Democrats coming into power, I'm not sure the last time you were in Richmond, Virginia, but on the grounds of the Capitol is a statue still of Thomas Stonewall.
I admire that statue.
It was given by gentlemen from Great Britain who admired him as a Virginian, as a man, and as a soldier.
Interestingly enough, when that was delivered from Great Britain, I can't remember when it went up, there were people who were vying for the honor to pull the cart from the port of Richmond to where it was to be put up.
And there were many Yankees who wanted to have the honor of pulling that statue along.
In those days, the men that Confederates were trying to kill admired them.
But now, as I've said many, many times, people who don't deserve to black their boots think that they're their moral superiors and can spit on their graves and tear down their statues.
It's all quite disgusting to me.
But let us move on, Mr. Kersey.
We have so many comments and so many stories to cover.
This is a comment from Australia about the Bondi Beach shooting.
You know, I used to think it was pronounced Bondi, Bondi Beach, B-O-N-D-I, but everyone's calling it Bondi, so I will go along.
This person writes to say, I mean, well, I think everyone is familiar with what happened here, but we could put it in context later if need be.
I am very used to the standard responses to events like this shooting.
We're told it was tragic, unforeseen, unavoidable.
It's mental health.
It's lax gun laws.
And our federal government now hopes to tighten gun laws even further.
And the state of Tasmania has just passed new anti-hate crime laws, neither of which, of course, will address the underlying problem.
I was therefore very glad to see the British Australian Community, or BAC, tell it as it is.
It promptly issued a press release explaining the problem was immigration, policies that let in Muslims, and it called for the retirement of government officials who, in its words, failed to advise or investigate the dangers posed by open borders immigration and anti-white multiculturalism.
Of course, as is now pretty well known, this father and son team of Pakistanis, as I understand it, they opened fire on Jews who were celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach.
And we heard over and over that there was a man from the public who rushed out quite bravely, I might add, and disarmed one of the shooters.
He was a Muslim.
We heard that over and over and over and over.
But when it came to the people doing the shooting, I'm not sure I ever heard that they were Muslims.
They were a father and son duo, as if that's what we were all wondering about.
Weren't you wondering before we really knew who they were?
Weren't you wondering, gosh, is it possible they might be a father and son group?
Well, that's how they've been identified, it seems forever after.
Father and son.
Well, as it turns out, as far as gun laws are concerned, the 50-year-old father, Sajid Akram, his name has now showed up, he'd applied for license for sports and target shooting in 2020, granted in 2023.
But Australia needs better gun laws.
And all of the Australians and all the liberals are celebrating the fact that three decades ago it took just 12 days after a massacre in which a gunman killed 35 people in Port Arthur, Tasmania, for the country to adopt sweeping gun restrictions.
I remember very well seeing images of people walking in and turning in their firearms, all of these nice-looking white Australians disarming themselves voluntarily, piles and piles of mostly rifles.
In any case, this current shooting, which left at least 15 dead and scores wounded, has forced a hard look at gun control.
And how can it be, Mr. Kersey?
The number of licensed firearms has actually risen over the years.
Loopholes, loopholes, loopholes.
One of the new measures they're considering is capping the number of farms that can be owned by an individual.
That would have made a big difference, huh?
This guy had two rifles, one for him and one for his son.
You're going to cap it at one?
I mean, most of the time it's capped at zero.
Then they're going to limit the types of guns that are legally permitted, only 22s, maybe.
And this makes actual sense.
Make Australian citizenship a condition for gun ownership.
I think they should make sure that no non-white owns a gun.
No Muslim is allowed to own a gun.
There are many restrictions you could put on gun ownership that do not punish the people who do not commit these crimes.
Let's see.
Now, another comment.
In the last episode, Mr. Taylor shared a story about hundreds of elderly rape victims in Sweden's home care.
This really was a heartbreaking, horrible story.
And in passing, he speculated the problem might be Somalis.
However, employed Somalis are a rare sight in Sweden.
Their unemployment rate is, for women, 85% and 65% among men.
At least these are the latest statistics from 2015.
I suspect they haven't improved much.
Of the ones so far convicted in this current home care rape epidemic, we find a 27-year-old Afghan who raped a 104-year-old, Mr. Kersey, 104-year-old.
He's been convicted and sentenced to five and a half years in prison.
That seems pretty light to me, and to pay a 270,000 Swedish kroner fine.
That's $29,000.
Now, my guess is a 27-year-old Afghan, where's he going to come up with $29,000?
This is just foolishness.
The trouble is, he was granted Swedish citizenship one month prior to the rape, and therefore he cannot be given the boot.
Isn't that a happy ending for him?
And then in Iraq, he has been charged with having raped two elderly women for whom he was caring.
This is not restricted, of course, to Sweden.
In Norway, there was a case in which Mohamed, a 22-year-old second-generation immigrant, his parents immigrated in the 1990s, broke into the apartment of a 76-year-old woman and raped her.
Now, as for Norway and Somalis, here's some interesting statistics.
In 2011, well, this is a story, really, mainstream news ran this headline.
Norway uncovers Somali welfare fraud.
Now, you'd wish that people in Minnesota had been reading the papers in Norway, don't you?
And here are the statistics I mentioned earlier.
For each 1,000 young people, that is to say, 15 through 24, that's pretty frisky crime-prone age.
Somali men in Oslo, for every thousand, they face 2,119 criminal charges.
That is more than two per Somali.
Two criminal charges a year.
And if we look at other, it's nice of them to keep the Norwegian police employed, of course.
You know, otherwise they'd just be sitting on their hands.
There weren't any Somalis around.
And for all immigrants, it is 823 per thousand.
That's at least less than one.
Per Norwegian-born children of immigrants, 913 charges per thousand.
So the Norwegian-born children of immigrants actually end up being arrested more than actual immigrants.
That's often the case.
The ones who show up, at least originally, they tend to be a little bit more law-abiding.
That's the same with Hispanic immigrants, the United States.
And when we have non-immigrants, it is 209 per 1,000 in the most crime-prone age.
So we have these dramatic differences.
Of course, this doesn't seem to make much difference to people who run those countries, just as the statistics make hardly any difference to most of the people who have been running the United States as well.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you and I both love hearing from our listeners.
We love hearing if we've made mistakes.
We like to hear your comments.
We like it when you call attention to things we might have missed, important items, news.
And the way to get a message to me is to go to our website, amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, and click the Contact Us tab.
And you can reach the one and only indispensable Paula Kersey by.
Hey, shoot me an email at becausewelivehere at protonmail.com.
Because we live here at protonmail.com.
That's it, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I understand that the Trump administration has yet again done something most astonishing, and it has declared that anti-discrimination laws apply to white people, too.
How can this be?
I got a text from a friend late last night, which normally is a sign of something bad happening, but this was celebratory because he said, take a look at this video.
And this is from Politico.
Trump's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission chair issues PSA to white men, telling them that they can claim money for race and gender discrimination, too.
PSA, PSA, of course, stands for Public Service Announcement and not the initials that some of us older gentlemen are familiar with.
Well, I'm not familiar with every sin in the Decalogue as you might be, but no, I'm joking.
Sorry, that's it.
All right.
Horrible reference.
Horrible reference to Richard Burton because I've been reading a lot about him recently.
But anyways, so this broke late last night, and this comes on the heel of something I know we're going to be talking about.
That is The Lost Generation by Jacob Savage.
Mr. Taylor, this article has gone viral beyond any piece I've seen recently in recent memory.
But we get this message, which I'll be blunt, before 2025 started, I never thought we'd see something like this.
But we've seen in 2025, we saw the Supreme Court rule that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects white people too, basically.
So here we go.
The chair of the EEOC issued this PSA specifically to white men, which is so fascinating.
And she's encouraged them to file a claim of race or gender discrimination in the workplace with her office.
Andrea Lucas, appointed by Trump, in this message posted late last night on Wednesday, December 17th, said this.
Are you a white male who's experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?
You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws.
Mr. Taylor, this is like one of those infomercials you'd see late at night for some injury attorney, but it's real.
Yes, it's remarkable.
It's real.
It's absolutely remarkable.
And Lucas, who previously argued that civil rights laws are colorblind, she continued with this, you know, almost a parody of an infomercial saying, the EEOC is the federal agency charged with enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws against businesses and other private sector employees.
The EEOC is committed to identifying, attacking, and eliminating all forms of race and sex discrimination, including against white male applicants and employees.
No, that's what I just don't understand.
It includes white people.
Golly, I remember one head of the EOC arguing quite explicitly, it doesn't include white people.
I can't remember her name.
She was a black appointee.
No, it's not for white people.
It's just for us.
But gee, it covers us too.
My goodness.
I can hardly believe it.
I remember that little dwarf, Robert Reich.
If you remember, he actually was in a Senate committee being questioned about rebuilding the economy in 2009 after the Great Recession.
And he talked about how we can't just open up all these jobs for white men.
We can't just worry about ensuring that white men get employed in these industries like construction.
I was like, what?
In other words, that's a way of saying we want to keep them out.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So her appeal to white men was met with criticism from those who say it further drives the Trump admins focus on protecting white men from so-called discrimination.
All we ever suffer is so-called discrimination.
Exactly.
It's tongue-in-cheek.
It's like, oh, look at these white guys claiming discrimination.
They haven't seen real discrimination like the kind that Barbara Johns fought against before she became a librarian.
Yes.
As opposed to what blacks and other marginalized groups face, who continue to see disparities in hiring.
As the Grio, for those who don't know, that's a black website that gets massive amounts of funding from corporate America, previously reported.
This week, the black unemployment rate skyrocketed to 8.3%, which is disproportionately higher than the national average of 4.6%.
The unemployment rate for white men is ironically below the national rate at 3.6%.
That's proof.
That's proof they enjoy preferences.
Proof's positive.
Yep.
Hard work's got nothing to do with it.
Qualification got nothing to do with it.
Nothing at all.
Yeah, Marcus Batchelor, he's the national political director at People for the American Way, said stunts like this demonstrate the links Trump is willing to go to dismantle institutions meant to do good and make them tools that once again unbalance the scales in favor of privilege and white supremacy.
So I guess we know which people for the American Way he cares about and which ones he wants to ensure continue to face the burden.
You know, there are certain discussions as to which way is the American Way.
You and I have a view and others have a different view.
He clearly does.
Yeah, he told the Grio, a call for colorblind, merit-based employment falls flat from a White House that is overwhelmingly white, wealthy, and unqualified to govern.
While we're at it, yes.
Yeah, we remember back in January, Trump signed a series of executive orders eliminating DEI federal programs and decades-old enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
At the time, leftist advocates warned that the moves by the Trump admin would ultimately result in a loss of job opportunities for black, brown, LGBTQ, and disabled Americans and women.
Lucas, in her role as the EEO chair, EOC chair, has focused on rooting out DEI in the public and private sectors.
And again, in her Wednesday PSA, she urged potential white male victims of workplace discrimination to visit the Commission's website to learn more about so-called DEI-related discrimination.
It's extraordinary, extraordinary.
Well, I guess it is appropriate to mention the article that you were talking about, the one called The Lost Generation that appeared in this publication, Compact, with which I had been unfamiliar, written by a fellow named Jacob Savage.
I don't want to get too much into it because I actually did a video about this that's going to show up later on today, if all goes well.
But he really has the numbers to show you just how much young whites have gotten the shaft.
He picks 2014 as the year the door just really slammed shut.
I mean, discrimination against whites have been going on since the 1960s.
I remember in 1968 when I was applying for college, I mean, it was the standard joke.
We all knew that if we were black, if we could claim to be black, we'd have a better chance of getting in to more selective schools.
That was 1968.
But he picks 2014.
He says, if you were white and 40 by that time, you were already a success if you were going to be.
But if you were 30 in 2014, if you're a millennial, your chances of really making a hit in the big time was close to zero.
And 2014 was the year of Oscars So White.
We were all supposed to be appalled because only white actors were nominated for acting awards.
And the word went off from the Hollywood talent agencies.
And he quotes people by name who issued the orders.
We want female and diverse emphasis on African American.
And Mr. Savage calls this systematic discrimination documented in writing, implemented without consequence.
And he has statistics, quotes chapter and verse about how all of the doors slammed shut.
And for example, you get to the point where since 2020, only 7.7% of the Los Angeles Times interns have been white men.
7.7%.
In 2021, 78% of the new hires at national public radio were BIPOCs.
And when it comes to the 220 fellows that the New York Times recruited since 2018, only 10% were white men.
These are the people that are effectively interns for a year.
They have got the inside track on getting a job.
And this is the same all over everywhere.
And what this means is that all the heights, all of the, this is big media, this is in academia, this is in special museum exhibitions of young up-and-coming artists.
In effect, these are the people that write the news, teach your children.
They publish books, they make movies and TV, and they crank out what passes for culture.
And the result, of course, is that you can't turn around without seeing advertising, advertising for just about anything in which you've got some happy blonde woman who's obviously married to a black man.
They have lovely mulatto children.
In any case, the idea that white people don't face discrimination is so absolutely absurd.
We have to thank Jacob Savage for gathering up the numbers as effectively as he has done.
So that was a bit of a sidelight.
As I say, I didn't want to get too deeply into a subject that I cover in greater detail in a video.
As I say, it should all go well.
It's come stop today.
Let's move on to Vivek Vivek.
Rivek Ramaswamy.
Now, I believe you already discussed this with Mr. Deanna, if I'm not mistaken.
But I will read a few phrases and sentences from the article, this op-ed piece that he wrote for the New York Times.
Came out just yesterday, if I'm not mistaken.
He says, there are two competing visions on the American right, and they're incompatible.
One vision of American identity is based on lineage, blood and soil.
And this is a predictable response, he says.
He's patting himself on the back.
I anticipated it in my 2022 book, Nation of Victims.
This is a result of anti-white discrimination of the last half decade.
Half decade, got you?
Right, Vivek, only half decade.
And it's no longer a fringe point of view.
He's talking about blood and soil.
The alternative, and in my view, correct, vision of American identity is based on ideals.
No matter your ancestry, if you wait your turn and obtain citizenship, you are every bit as American as a Mayflower descendant, as long as you subscribe to the creed of the American founding and the culture that was born of it.
Oh, boy, oh boy.
If you were to ask, if you were to ask, oh, pick a random sample of people who become naturalized citizens, and you were to ask them, what is the creed of the American founding?
Tell us about the culture that was born of it.
What kind of answer do you think you'd get?
I'd love to have them drag Vivek along and have him listen to what they would have to say.
But Vivek goes on to say, I see no real reluctance from my former anti-woke peers to criticize the new identity politics on the right.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, that's because Republicans are tumbling in increasing numbers the fact that the blood and soldiers are right.
He goes on to say depression and anxiety are more prevalent among members of Gen Z than in prior American generations.
In the absence of a shared national identity, they're turning to tribalism and victimhood instead.
Groyperism on the right and Zorhan Mamdani socialism on the left.
That's our problem, you see.
Real quick, real quick.
It's understanding that he uses that word victimhood.
What victimhood are white Americans being exposed to except for the mistakes of the 1965 Immigration Act, which completely re-engineered the United States of America?
That's right.
Especially millennials, especially, I'm a millennial.
I was born in 85.
We were born into this crisis that had yet to really present itself as it would in the succeeding decades.
And for millennials, people who listen to Nick Fuentez, they have no inkling of what the United States was like, even in the late 90s, early 2000s.
That's one of the reasons why all of these comparison videos of what Los Angeles was like, say, in the early 1950s, or what London was like at the end of the war, Second World War, these are so strikingly different.
And they really depict an almost ideal, wonderful world of overwhelming whiteness.
In any case, Zorn Mandani, he's got the solution.
We need to imagine a new American dream that delivers economic empowerment while also filling the next generation's hunger for purpose and belonging.
Okay, Mamdani, how are you going to do that?
Purpose and belonging.
He says, online edgelording reminds me of toddlers testing their parents' limits.
The job of a real Republican leader is to set firm boundaries for young followers, as a good father does for a transgressive son.
Oh, boy, you and I need to be slapped down, Mr. Kersey, by a good and loving father.
He goes on to say, this doesn't mean censorship, means moral clarity.
Moral clarity.
Got that?
We are immoral.
That's always the attitude they take.
If you think that white people deserve a country of your own, you are immoral.
You are evil.
You are wrong.
You are hopeless.
You deserve to be drummed out of polite society.
We've heard this so often.
And I just love it when these non-whites, they come to this country and they tell white people who've been here for several hundred years, you're wrong.
We're right.
Again, I think you and I co-authored the seminal article on the Naturalization Act of 1790, which of course predates the signing of the Bill of Rights by more than a year, which that was not ratified until 1791.
So our forefathers, including George Washington, they made racial clarity far more important than moral clarity when it came to what rights you're bestowed with.
So racial clarity.
Sorry, Vivek.
Racial clarity was moral clarity.
Exactly.
They were synonymous.
And there is, if I say so myself, there's a great article on the American Renaissance website because called What the Founders Really Thought About Race.
You can find it.
And if you look hard, now the search engines don't want you to go to amran.com very often, but what the founding fathers really thought about race.
And it becomes clear that every president up through Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy is kind of an ambiguous case, but up through Eisenhower, it was very clear they were blood and soil Americans.
The idea that have you thought about just converting that into a video?
Well, I have done videos on that subject.
Yes, yes.
It's so wonderful to quote the things that they said.
It would make a great video.
Well, I could remake it.
It's the sort of thing that could be remade many times.
But yes, no, Vivek knows better.
He knows better than all of those presidents.
He knows better than all of the Americans who lived before.
He's got it figured out.
They were wrong.
I'm wrong.
You're wrong, Mr. Kersey.
He's right.
Isn't it a strange coincidence that his interpretation of America makes him a perfect American?
Isn't that just a funny coincidence?
Wow.
And of course, he's running for governor of Ohio.
He's running for the nominee, the Republican nominee.
They've yet to have that election to see who represents.
What's the story yet?
Have you followed this?
What kind of opposition is he facing in the primary?
A couple people have gone through the motions of filing.
No one with his name recognition yet.
But according to polls that have been released, he's actually losing to the leading candidate.
Yeah, it's highly embarrassing because Ohio was always seen as a bellwether state, and it is solidly red now.
Again, we're not endorsing any party.
We're just commenting on the news.
Yes, I have seen people on our side saying they're going to vote for the lefty white lady rather than this creep.
But we'll have to see.
In any case, Mr. Kersey, I think you have yet another creep story.
In this case, it's the mayor of Savannah.
One of my least favorite cities in the country.
Savannah, Georgia Mayor.
This is from the Gateway pundit, our friend Jim Hoft.
Savannah, Georgia mayor makes a disgusting remark when asked about a white woman in his city who suffered a horrifying, horrifying injuries after being doused with acids by a black lowlife.
Once again, from the before and after photographs, she was a very pretty girl.
I think some of these horrible blacks who just randomly attack people like Irina Zarutska, they go after the ones that are particularly attractive.
I think they just can't stand the idea that white people are more beautiful than they are.
But that's just my private opinion.
That's a good opinion.
This girl, yeah, she was a stunning statuesque brunette from the pictures you've seen.
And, well, the mayor of Savannah, he doesn't want to concern himself with such a terrifying crime that happened on his watch and was sure to let a constituent know and know in certain terms.
The Gateway pundit reported last week a white Georgia woman named Ashley Wozaleski sustained horrifying burns to her face, neck, and scalp after a black man emerged from the bushes at a Forsyth park in Savannah and dumped acid all over her.
And Mr. Taylor, the suspect, the black suspect, is still at large.
He approached the victim from behind and he poured this liquid chemical all over.
According to police, the attacker was not known to the victim.
And if you've ever been to Savannah, ladies and gentlemen, you know that you can be in one beautiful area of the city where there are multi-million dollar homes and one block over are some of the worst, sketchiest black slums in America.
I'm a little surprised you're so down on the city.
I was there only once.
Of course, it was maybe 25 years ago.
They have all of these parks sort of scattered through the city.
They do?
Yes, yes.
And as you say, there are some beautiful white areas.
I don't know what the racial demographics of the place are now, but they certainly have some sketchy individuals there, as you put it.
Well, I had a bad experience in Tybee Island.
We'll leave it at that.
All right.
So, anyways, no.
Wozaleski is suffering third-degree burns and is currently receiving treatment at Memorial Hospital in Augusta.
And like I said, the suspect is yet to be caught.
But this is where the story gets interesting.
A resident decided to ask the black mayor on social media what he and the city government were doing to help Wozaleski.
Quote, have you actually been to the park?
Have you contacted the victim and promised on behalf of Savannah to support her ongoing recovery?
Great photo shoot and tenderhearted words, but what is Savannah actually doing?
His reply to these inquiries was snippy and callous, as the gateway pundit reports.
Quote, maybe you should take a nap, he snarked.
Well, that's he's he's hoping that he gets a better rest, I suppose.
You know, it was only a few years ago that Savannah, which has seen a significant racial change, demographic change from barely majority white to now majority black, elected their first black mayor.
And I don't know if you've ever read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
It's a pretty famous nonfiction story of Savannah and crime.
And in that book, it lets slip that every year about 95% of the homicides and non-fatal shooting suspects are black in Savannah.
Savannah really does have a seedy underbelly that is masked by this, I don't know, maybe the right word is white gentry.
It's got this very, it's a very class-stratified city, which is fascinating.
I understand that socially, it's very hierarchical.
There's some old Savannah families that basically run the place, and that you don't just move into Savannah and join the country club.
No, you don't.
Maybe one of the newer country clubs.
Maybe so.
You're not going to get an invitation to the old guard clubs.
But back in November 2020, this black mayor, he served as one of the 16 Biden-Harris electors from Georgia for the Electoral College.
He was re-elected mayor of Savannah with 77% of the vote back in November of 2023.
Again, it's one of these southern cities that it's a beautiful place to visit for a couple of days, but you're not going to want to see a lot of those parks that you mentioned are uniquely positioned throughout the city.
I suspect after that remark, next time he runs, he'll get an even higher score in his election.
They're going to love him for that.
Take a nap, says he, if you're worried about some poor white girl who had all her hair burned off by an asset attack from some anonymous black.
Well, let's see.
Speaking of candidates, Kansas has someone running for the Senate.
And just before he launched his Senate bid, Kansas Democrat Eric Murray, one of our melanin-enhanced fellow citizens, boasted on a podcast about his life-changing experience learning from former Black Panther leader Elaine Brown.
I didn't realize Elaine Brown was still alive.
She is, of course, an avowed socialist even to this day and recently reaffirmed her commitment to toppling the empire of the United States.
Now, this Senate, U.S. Senate Hopeful, credits this Black Lady Panther with changing the wiring of his brain.
He goes on to say, go spend a decade having lunch with Elaine Brown.
I think if I spent a decade having lunch with Elaine Brown, the wiring of my brain would probably be changed.
She's one of the original founders of the Black Panthers.
It will change the wiring of your brain.
Brown, Elaine Brown, told the socialist worker in 2022 that bringing about a socialist revolution remains her goal.
We will never be a free people without it.
Now, I've never understood this.
They seem to think that if capitalism is overthrown and there's the dictatorship of the proletariat or whatever she thinks socialism is going to bring, that somehow black people and white people and orange people and green people, everybody's going to love each other.
I don't know where they get that idea.
All of the socialist republics, from Cuba to the Soviet Union, all of them had racially stratified societies.
But somehow, I really just don't get it.
Somehow, if you get rid of capitalism, it's the capitalist bosses who separate the working class into races and make them hate each other.
It's all the capitalist bosses.
In any case, she says, the bottom line is that the empire of the United States has caused our enslavement.
She continues to be enslaved.
She wants to inspire her followers to bring about a revolution as predicted by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
So she's still a Leninist.
Well, he's going to be running Eric Murray, our African-American fellow citizen.
He's running in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate.
Kansas, the election's not yet taken place.
His chances do not appear to be all that good.
Kansas, yet another state like Ohio, where you'd think that this kind of talk would not be very successful.
Now, in the meantime, Donald J. Trump continues his good work, and he's expanded the travel bans.
And he says they are necessary because of what his administration describes as failures in screening and vetting systems.
So we don't know who we're getting.
You can have somebody with a passport, somebody who appears to have a job, who appears to have no criminal record, but we have absolutely no idea what we're getting.
And officials have also cited high visa overstay rates in these countries, unreliable civil records, corruption, terrorist activity, and a lack of cooperation in accepting deported nationals.
This, to me, is the worst thing.
Say you've got somebody from Burma who's a miserable criminal, and you want to get him the heck out.
And the Burmese say, hey, not our problem, not our problem.
We don't want criminals.
We want you to have our very own criminals.
And I think it's great.
Okay, not one of you is coming.
Not one.
So here are the countries that are on full restriction now.
And I believe, Mr. Kersey, you will probably agree that this is an excellent start.
In alphabetical order, Afghanistan, Burkina Faso.
Now, do you know where Burkina Faso is?
Burkina Faso.
Yes.
Isn't it in the South Pacific?
I'm sure it would love to be.
It is in the Sahel of Africa.
It used to be known as Upper Volta.
I loved its name as Upper Volta.
Back when it was called Upper Volta, that sort of strikes me as outer space.
What could be a more remote and obscure and exotic place to visit than Upper Volta?
I was there back in 1970, and I remember the capital city, which is, oops, Ouagadougou.
That rolls off the tongue.
Ouagadougou.
What was your favorite memory of Ouagadougou?
Oh, I was Wagadougouing around, and also Bobo di Alasso.
That's the second largest city.
I've been in both of them.
And then, continuing through the alphabet, Burma.
Burma is absolutely off limits.
I've been to Burma as well, believe it or not.
Of course, it's now known as Myanmar, which is really cool.
You call it Myanmar.
Then Chad, again, that's in Africa.
Equatorial Guinea, yet again in Africa.
Eritrea, African, Haitia, Haiti, essentially African.
Then Iran, Laos, Libya.
I've been to Libya, believe it or not.
Back in the days when I went there in 1970, you had to have your passport translated into Arabic.
So I went through that.
And Libya at that time was run by Muammar Gaddafi, who was a good Muslim.
You weren't supposed to drink.
Never have I been offered more alcohol in my life.
Libya.
Yes.
The Libyans were all into homebrew.
Boy, I drank some awful stuff, but boy, it could get you drunk.
And then Niger, Niger.
That's yet another African country.
I've been there as well.
I was just frolicking and rollicking through Africa at the time.
Republic of the Congo, again, Africa.
Sierra Leone, Africa, Somalia, Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, all Africa.
Then Syria.
No, we don't want any Syrians.
Yemen.
Although the Syrian big guy, he was recently in the White House chumming it up with Donald Trump ever since they got rid of Bashar el-Assad.
And this once alleged terrorist with a price on his head is now running the show.
I guess we are recognizing the facts on the ground.
He is apparently good friends now with Donald Trump, but his countrymen are not welcome.
And then finally in the alphabet is Yemen.
I'm glad they're not coming either.
Then this is sort of a special category.
Anybody traveling on a Palestinian authority issued or endorsed travel document.
Don't want any of them either.
Now, those are absolute total bans.
Can't come under any circumstances.
Then there is a whole list of countries practically equally long where there are various limitations on who you can come, but a few people under certain special circumstances are allowed in.
I won't read them all out, but they're all good candidates, fine candidates.
Well, having said this, I suppose it's time to confess that I was at the New York Young Republican Club's Gala.
That was just last weekend.
I saw a picture of you in Politico.
Yes, I was photographed.
I was photographed in political.
The truth is out.
And of course, this is great journalism.
The idea is to say, wow, this wicked Jared Taylor was there.
Gee, we can hang him around the necks of all these young Republicans.
What a horrible bunch they are.
They let this vermin in.
Gee, that's journalism for you these days, huh?
Well, I was very surprised.
As part of the festivities, they had Drust Streetum, who is the PR guy for Orania, along with another Orania official, get up and lead us all in the vow, the Blood River vow.
Now, this was before what I consider to be one of the epochal victories of our race in its various wars against non-whites.
About 400 Afrikaners faced, I can't remember, maybe 14,000, 12,000 Zulu warriors, and they killed several thousand in this attack that was meant to exterminate them without a single white casualty, Afrikaner farmers.
But they knew they were facing this terrific onslaught, and so they made a vow.
And they promised God that if God delivered their enemies into their hand and the Afrikaners were victorious, they would keep this day.
I think it's December 15th, 16th.
It's December 16th, 1838, Mr. Hayden.
1838 was the very year, and December 16th was the day they were going to keep this day holy.
They were going to build a church in memory of this day, and this was going to be a Sabbath every year.
Now, after the Rainbow Coalition took over, this is now no longer called the Day of the Vow.
It's called the Day of Reconciliation.
And we're all supposed to hold hands and look each other in the eye, kiss each other on both cheeks, and think, oh, what a wonderful place the new South Africa is.
Well, I never thought that I would be toasting the vow, making the vow in New York City with a glass of champagne in my hand.
Well, I don't know what it was.
It could have been something South African.
They make glorious sparkling wines down there.
But to me, it's surprising that all the media that were there, and they were sort of roped off behind these velvet ropes to make sure that they didn't wiggle their way in where they really weren't wanted.
But they all saw what was going on.
This was a formal part of the undertaking.
I'm very surprised not to have seen that mentioned as, oh, what a horrible thing.
They're celebrating Orania, this explicitly all-white place, and we're all standing up and we are toasting this great victory of 400 white people over 12,000 black people.
I'm very, very surprised.
Maybe they have no idea what the day of the vow is.
Maybe they have no idea what Orani is, but it seems to me that the fact that we all did that enthusiastically, this is far more horrifying from a mainstream point of view than the fact that I was wandering around.
Well, that's something that, Mr. Taylor, I don't think I'm saying this exaggerating, but has that ever even been recited at a New Century Foundation conference?
No, no, no.
If we had our meetings on December 16th, we would certainly do it.
It's never occurred to me.
And it was actually a few days early.
But these Afrikaners, they wanted to get this on the record.
And I thought it was absolutely wonderful.
I almost had tears in my eyes thinking of the heroic Afrikaners who saved their vortrecker column and then went on to found what was one of those wonderful white republics, snuffed out, snuffed out of existence by all of the ganged up white people all around the world who said that, no, no, no, white people can't have a white republic in South Africa or anywhere for that matter.
But it's interesting real quick on that same note of South Africa, Mr. Taylor.
I've always wondered what the white South Africans, as they gathered to celebrate Christmas in 1993, just a few months before they would see the first election that, of course, brought Nelson Mandela into office, which I believe journalists said reading this, reading the news of this was like reading scripture.
I think you've heard that many times.
That was Mary McGrory.
Mary McGrory.
She says, oh, it's so wonderful that the news, it will be impossible to read the news in the new South Africa without tears in your eyes, because it will be like reading scripture.
I've always wondered what the families gathered together as they were getting ready to bring in the new year as they celebrated, you know, the last gasp of the old establishment and celebrated Christmas in 93 of South Africa.
What were they thinking?
I mean, as they get ready to unwrap their presence, it's and knowing, knowing all the time.
Well, you know, it's interesting that you should ask.
I was in California, oh, not too long after that.
And I was discussing, I was talking, I was in a restaurant, I was talking with a friend about the Jameson raid.
This is one of these really perfidious Albion undertakings, which the British invaded the South African area trying to start, overthrow the local Afrikaner government.
And a guy came up and he says, I'm from South Africa.
He says, I never thought I would hear Americans sitting discussing the Jameson raid.
And so, and I'm sure it does not happen very often.
No, no.
No.
It doesn't happen often.
And so his ears pricked up.
And we sat him down and we asked him, well, what's going to happen, really?
Do you think it's going to work?
And he got this wistful look in his face.
He says, well, it has to work.
It has to work.
And I think that was their mentality.
I think very few of them, very few of them, really had the wisdom, the common sense to realize that they had just pushed their own country off a cliff.
Well, Mr. Kersey, we are oddly running out of time.
You have a story about Minnesota's version of a Confederate monument.
So please tell us about that.
Yeah, I really think this is an important story, especially in light of what you uncovered earlier this year when you found out about the history of the discovery of America and the discover of America and the rescue statue that stood at the U.S. Capitol from 1850 to 1958.
If you haven't watched that video yet, I encourage all of you to stop this podcast for a second and go track down Mr. Taylor's video on those just absolutely glorious statues, because this is a story of another one that's actually missing now.
And I think it's really important to talk about.
And that is that in Mankado, 1971, Minnesota's own monument removal experience.
Minnesota, we've been talking about that a lot with what's happening up there in that state with Somali fraud.
Well, it's interesting to look at the fact that Minnesotans, as they've watched from a safe distance, as America and Americans have struggled to decide what to do about Confederate monuments in their midst.
Well, Minnesota is apparently among a minority of states without at least one such monument within its borders.
But before we congratulate ourselves for our sophisticated and nuanced understanding of history and race, we would do well to remember what happened in our state just over a century ago.
And it wasn't the state, by the way, at this point.
On the day after Christmas 1912, well, when this event happened, I should say.
On the day after Christmas 1912, several hundred people gathered at the corner of what was then Front and Main Street in downtown Mankato to mark the 50th anniversary of the largest mass hanging in U.S. history.
38 Dakota men had been executed at that exact spot for crimes allegedly committed during the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
The highlight of the 50th anniversary commemoration was the dedication of a huge granite monument inscribed with the words, here were hanged 38 Sioux Indians.
In his dedication address, Judge Lauren Cray rejected any notion that the monument inappropriately glorified a mass killing.
As the Mankado Free Press reported at the time, he wished to have it understood that the monument had not been erected to gloat over the deaths of the red men, but was instead meant to simply record accurately an event in history.
Now, Mr. Taylor, I'm sure you recall what happened in 1862 when these white settlers were ambushed as the Civil War was raging.
The United States Army's, well, their efforts were definitely not on protecting westward expansion at that time, were they?
That's right.
The Indians had sense enough to realize that with all the cavalry pulled off trying to fight Confederates, this was the time to push back the frontier of American white settlement.
And as I recall, they pushed it back several hundred miles.
This was really a bad time.
Yeah, of course.
Hundreds of whites were killed during this, by the way.
Hundreds of whites.
Yes, yes.
You know, there's an interesting aspect about that.
Originally, they were going to kill, they were going to hang, I think, a couple of hundred of these captured Indians who had been taking part in these horrible massacres.
But Abraham Lincoln, he's busy with a war going on.
He took the time to read the transcripts of all these people and he commuted the sentences of all but, what is it, 58?
38.
Is it 38?
I beg your pardon.
All but 30.
He commuted to he, I think this is really rather remarkable on his part.
And he said that he was going to hang only those people who committed wanton murder, who were rapists, those of who, just the most heinous of the heinous.
And everybody else, he commuted their sentences.
Now, the fact that he did not commute them all makes him an enemy of the woke crowd.
But in any case, yes, this was the largest mass execution in American history, was it not?
It was.
No, and that's why we're talking about because that decade that is so fascinating to think about all the changes that were taking place, the late 1950s, a small group of members of the tribe that Mankato is named after, the Mankatotites, Mankato, I don't care how to pronounce it, began advocating for the monument's removal.
Its presence, they argued, gave the city an unwholesome reputation.
Okay.
Yeah, pharmacist Alan Molson went so far as to ask Governor Orville Freeman to join the campaign.
Freeman didn't respond.
The head of his Human Rights Commission, Clifford Rucker, did.
Rucker wrote that he and his fellow commissioners agreed that eyesore should be removed.
He also complained that the Minnesota Historical Society felt otherwise and was determined to block any removal efforts.
Mr. Taylor, at the time in 1960, according to the U.S. Census, Minnesota was 99% white.
So, guys, think about that.
99% white.
They're already beginning to realize, ooh, we should get rid of this statue or this monument that's only been up, just commemorating the fact that these Sioux were hanged, not even mentioning the fact that hundreds of whites were killed by these Sioux or why they were killed.
So the monument remains in place, sir, for another 15 years, while the arguments over its fate ebbed and flowed.
In 71, the city finally removed it, but only to make way for urban removal.
This contentious granite slab was placed in storage with plans to reinstall it at some point in the future, just like the plans were to reinstall the rescue statue at the Capitol.
However, by that time, many Mankado residents had come to believe commemorating a mass execution was at the very least tacky and culturally insensitive.
Mr. Taylor, this is the 70s we're talking about.
The monument never reappeared in public.
So this brings us to this.
The current location of this monument remains unknown.
About 10 years ago, a history class, this is roughly about 2010, a history class at Mankado State University tried without success to trap down the slab.
The students uncovered some evidence that a city employee had actually given the monument to Dakota elders, to the Sioux themselves.
But the investigative trail ended there.
So now a new memorial exists near the place where the vanished monument once stood.
It's called just like in South Africa, sir, Reconciliation Park.
It features a statue of Buffalo and a large scroll inscribed with the names of the 38 men who were executed there.
No mention, of course, of why they were executed or the hundreds of white people that were settlers of Minnesota who they killed and wont on violence, as you mentioned.
You know, I'm looking at photographs now.
The current Reconciliation Park, there is a marble bench on which these words are inscribed.
Forgive everything, anyone.
Forgive everything, anyone.
All reconciliation.
It was just fine for them to.
It's a shame they didn't think about doing that for Derek Chauvin in 2020.
They never will do that, will they?
I'm looking at a photograph now of the monument.
It really is quite substantial.
It looks to me, I'd say, about six feet tall.
And that's all it says on it, at least on the one side that's in the photograph.
It says, here were hanged 38 Sioux Indians December 28, 1862.
That's all it says.
That's it.
No, to me, that's important.
Where is it?
Find out where it is.
I think it's so vital that Americans realize what it took to create the United States of America, to establish Minnesota as a state when it was a territory.
Because, sir, it was a couple years ago that the old flag was removed to make way for what some have said is reminiscent of a state within Somalia.
That's right.
And that old flag had white settlers on it.
You can't have that.
You can't have that.
Well, we have to add racial clarity as well as moral clarity to the history of our great country.
But I'll say that they're the same thing.
Yep.
They're the same thing.
Well, there's certain things we can't have, and we can't have many more stories here, Mr. Kerry, because son of God, we have run out of time as we always seem to, despite our best efforts not to run out of time.
We do.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, it has been a joy and a pleasure and an honor to spend this time with you.
And we look forward to this opportunity next week.
