Ethno Correction 00:09:38
Ladies and gentlemen, dear listeners, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor.
With me is my esteemed co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
Today is February 5th, Auto Dominique, 2026.
And as usual, we begin with comments.
We have a listener who has supplied a correction.
He writes to say, In a recent podcast, Mr. Kersey eloquently hoped that with her defeat in the Virginia governor's election, Winsom Sears was singing her swan song.
He pronounced it swain song.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I don't recall you're pronouncing it that way, but let us assume perhaps that you did.
Our listener then goes on to say, I believe the term is swan song because the lovely white swan is generally silent until death is imminent and then sings a song.
I might say as much about our race.
Well, let's hope not about that.
And I suppose, I mean, aside from pronunciation matters, one could argue that it was inappropriate that a black woman should be singing a swan song if it's white swans who sing them.
But metaphors know no bounds, right?
Oh, that was totally the metaphor.
Why would you use such a beautiful imagery swan song for Winston Sears, especially when you have all the tears of what's happened after the just absolute destruction of the GOP sir in Virginia and what's happened?
Of course, today, they've announced their redistricting, 10-1 redistricting, and a state that is, you know, it's a purple state.
used to live there um you know if it wasn't for mass immigration and refugee resettlement uh virginia is still be republican yeah It's majority.
It's whiter than Georgia.
Yes, I'm afraid the whole state, in a way, is singing its swan song.
Let's see.
Here's a question from a listener.
About a year ago, you did a video with Eric Orwald.
He is with Return to the Land, a fine organization.
He said that one has to be of a traditional European religion to be part of his Return to the Land project.
And most members appear to be Christian.
They have to be non-European religions, including Judaism, are banned.
I do not like religious requirements, says our listener.
I'm an atheist.
I'm not religious.
I don't want to be.
Religion is not convincing to me, and I'm fine with other people being religious as long as they're fine with my not being religious.
I have friends who have told me that I need to believe in objective morality for them to want to build a community with me.
I guess by objective morality, he means religious morality.
Of course, religious people typically believe in that kind of morality.
Atheists typically do not.
What do you think about this preference for religion or a hierarchy between religion and irreligion in our movement?
Well, I think that the fact of being white is the central and crucial matter.
And as long as you're white, you can be religious or irreligious.
You can be a pagan, you can be an agnostic, you can be an atheist.
I think so long as we are all racially conscious white people, we can work out our differences.
And that includes differences on such things as abortion or on the size of government.
Even in an ethno-state of white people, there will be liberals and there will be conservatives.
I think a nation to be really a nation is going to have all kinds of people with differing ideas.
But so long as we agree on the essential fact of race, and this is a country for white people, that's really all that matters.
I don't know if you have a different view, Mr. Cursey.
No, I think you should respect the diversity with our own community, and you should seek out the disparate elements that most appeal to you.
And I myself do attend church regularly.
Yeah, I think when you start saying, okay, the ethno-state's going to be all Christian or no Christian or all gun owners or whatever it is, that is cutting up the pie before we even have a pie.
We need all the allies we can get in actually cooking the pie.
And once the pie is cooked, so long as all the cooks agree that it is for white people, I think that's where the white people belong.
Another comment.
Evidence of Republican backsliding on mass deportation continues.
Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker told the DHS he does not want ICE to acquire a warehouse facility in Bahalia, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, Mississippi, and convert it into a detention center.
Facilities like the proposed 8,500-ben detention center, that's a lot of beds, 8,500 in northern Mississippi are vital components in the drive to deport illegals at scale.
Pro-immigrant lawyers and NGOs are working to use habeas corpus briefings to spring every detained alien they can in friendly jurisdictions, spring them from ICE detention.
ICE therefore transfers detainees across state lines, moving them away from circuits with activist leftist judges to regions where the law is still properly interpreted, such as moving them from New England to Louisiana or Texas.
I wasn't even aware of that, Mr. Kersey.
That's really quite interesting.
You whisk them out of some state with activist judges who are going to pull some sort of habeas corpus nonsense or let the ACLU pull a fast one on ICE.
That's very interesting.
Take them in a place where a judge is going to enforce the law.
I wasn't aware of that, but that's really very interesting.
Our listener goes on to say, Trump's margin of victory in 2024 was plus 22 points in both Mississippi and Louisiana.
But now senior members of the Republican Party in these overwhelmingly pro-deportation states have decided to spoil the plans for mass deportation.
With Trump's newfound reticence on enforcement in blue states and the president's recent appeasement towards congressional Democrats on DHS funding and ICE reforms, we are probably witnessing a retreat from serious immigration enforcement.
I hope I am wrong.
Despite his cult of personality and enormous influence, Donald Trump failed to dislodge the Republican old guard and reshape the party into a nationalist party, much less restore the historical ethno-nationalist America.
Well, lots to think about there.
I give President Trump more credit than this listener does.
I think he's doing what is more or less capable under the circumstances.
I don't know the details of the negotiation in Congress.
But if ICE funding is going to be held up and can really, as a practical matter, be held up by Democrats, unless certain changes are made, then it may be necessary to do a little dickering, do a little horse trading with the Democrats.
So I do think he's doing his best.
It's just not that easy.
People seem to think all you have to do is with a flick of the wrist, you can get a million people a year out of the country.
It just doesn't work that way.
Remember what Insby talked about when we looked at the initial ICE budget after the big, beautiful bill passed, Mr. Taylor?
All those billions.
All those big, beautiful billions.
How much of that money was allocated toward housing, toward having to have a facility to hold these individuals?
It was such an enormous part of the budget.
And they are trying to buy warehouses in Arizona and, like you said, Mississippi.
I just read a story about a facility in Georgia.
I actually think they should just go ahead and try and repurpose dead malls in, you know, first-tier suburbs all across the country because those are usually near airports.
Any place, any place you can.
Of course, part of the problem is that under Biden, I mean, we did have, I believe, something like, you know, 50,000 beds all around the country, but Biden was very slowly getting them out.
So long as you move him in, find an airport, find an airplane, they're gone, then maybe you don't need that many.
But of course, it's all a pretty, it's a good-sized logistical problem, especially when you've got activist judges in the way.
And again, I thought this is very interesting.
Move them into someplace where you just don't have powerful ACLU and other kind of busybody non-NGOs getting in the way.
Very interesting.
But this idea that Donald Trump has not completely kicked out the old guard, much less restored the ethno-nationalist America.
Well, Donald Trump isn't an ethno-nationalist.
He's not really one of us in that respect.
You can't expect him to do that.
I think to a large extent, though, the old guard really is in retreat.
It will all depend on who the next presidential candidate is.
That's going to be a really, really interesting thing to see what the Republican Party is going to look like once Donald Trump is out of the White House.
But that is very much up in the air at this point.
Of course, JD Vance seems to be the frontrunner.
What he would really be like when he's out from under Donald Trump's wing, I would not dare to hazard a guess.
I hope he will be Donald Trump with less goofiness and less erratic caroming from one idea to another.
Last Night's Alien Abductions 00:13:50
But who the heck knows?
In any case, that is it for questions and comments from our listeners.
We'd love to have them.
And if we ever jump the tracks and say something wrong, we hate to disseminate false news.
So if we have done so, or if there's something you'd wish to call to our attention, or if you have questions, either from Mr. Kersey or for your servant, one way to get to us is to write to me at amran.com.
That's amre n.com, short for American Renaissance.
And you hit the contact us tab, and you can get a message straight to me.
The other method is to get something to Brother Kersey.
Because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, that's because we live here at protonmail.com.
Remember, when you send us an email, also let us know that you'd like to be added to the award-winning newsletter.
I'm surprised it wasn't up for a Golden Globe to be recognized last night at the City Journal at the Manhattan Institute awards.
Oh, I think.
Douglas Murray gave Ben Shapiro one of the big accolades.
Oh, who did he?
Should have been you or Kevin Deanna.
Ben Shapiro.
What was the name of the award by any chance?
I don't know the name of the reward.
I will find that out as we continue this latest podcast.
Probably hero of something or other.
Hero of free speech or hero of freedom.
Who the heck knows?
American AEI was handing out the accolades.
Well, no, I didn't even know about it.
Manhattan Institute.
Manhattan Institute.
Oh, I beg your pardon.
Well, you know, Manhattan Institute should have done better than that.
Manhattan Institute.
I hope that Heather McDonald at least got a pat on the head.
But anyway, the latest from Minnesota, insofar as this listener seems to think that this is a terrible climb down in Minneapolis.
And we wondered about that last podcast, Mr. Kersey, you and I.
However, there do seem to be encouraging signs.
On Tuesday, that is to say, day before yesterday, immigration officers in Minneapolis with guns drawn arrested activists who were trailing their vehicles.
At least one person who had an anti-ICE message on his clothing was handcuffed face down on the ground.
I hope his face was stuck right into the snow.
Several cars followed officers through South Minneapolis after there were reports of them knocking on doors.
How terrifying.
He knocked on doors.
Officers stopped the vehicles and ordered the activists to come out of the car at gunpoint.
That seems a little intimidating to me, but if you are obstructing justice, you never know whether they might escalate the obstruction.
Agents told reporters the scene.
I see reporters following them around.
Boy, this is, I mean, that's not the way you want to do your job.
Cars harassing you, reporters in your face.
Agents told reporters at the scene to stay back and threatened to spray them.
I bet they moved back.
Homeland Security spokesman Tricia McLachlan said the agents detained the activists because they hindered officers who were trying to arrest an illegal.
Interestingly enough, a federal judge last month put limits on how officers treat motorists who are following them but not obstructing their operations.
Safely following agents at an appropriate distance does not by itself create reasonable suspicion to justify a vehicle stop, the judge said.
However, the appeals court set that order aside.
Yeah, I think anybody follow, I mean, if you just follow a police car around, whatever the circumstances, wherever the guy goes, you follow him.
He's going to be, he's going to stop you.
I think there's no question about it.
You've got no business following a police officer around.
Certainly not an ICE agent either.
Education leaders in Minneapolis told a news conference that the presence of immigration officers is frightening some school communities.
Now, Mr. Kersey, which school communities do you think that might be?
I bet they're the ones who are in the country illegally.
Brenda Lewis, superintendent of Fridley Public Schools in suburban Minneapolis, said that she has been followed twice by ICE agents.
Well, she goes on patrols herself near the school, so I suspect they would pay attention to her.
She says students are afraid to come to school.
Parents are afraid to drop them off.
Well, they should be if they're in the country illegally, and I hope all of those illegals get scooped up.
And yesterday, Mr. Kersey, to continue with what could be seen as good news, rather than the climb down we feared, Borders R. Tom Holman said the Trump administration will withdraw 700 federal law enforcement officers from Minnesota, but 2,000 will stay, mostly in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
He said that he was pulling back the 700 after he got unprecedented cooperation from state and local entities.
That cooperation boosts efficiency, requiring fewer officers in the community to take custody of criminal aliens, freeing up resources.
He repeatedly said the administration is not surrendering in Minneapolis.
Well, I hope that's true.
Just saying you're not surrendering is not the same thing as not surrendering.
What it boils down to, apparently, is that although the state of Minnesota does not forbid cooperation with ICE, it's up to county sheriffs to decide whether they will.
And until now, the county sheriffs, including Hennepin County, at where Minneapolis-St. Paul is located, had refused to turn criminal illegal aliens over to ICE after they were going to be released.
They just sent them back into the community.
And apparently Henneman County, Hennepin County, has says, yep, yep, yep, we're going to respect ICE detainers.
We're going to do what we're told.
And so you don't have to go roaring through the community, endangering the public while you chase these malefactors.
So I would consider that an interesting and perhaps worthy compromise.
Needless to say, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called the partial drawdown like a drop in a bucket for the people of Minneapolis.
It's not enough.
They've all got to leave right now, says Charles Schumer.
We love our illegals.
No matter what kind of crimes they've committed, we want everyone to stay happy and snug as bugs in a rug.
And on C-SPAN, which I was listening to today, I heard Senator Bernie Sanders call ICE an invading army, an invading army, right, that kills American citizens in cold blood.
That's right.
They just marched down the street shooting whoever they like.
And Bernie Sanders said, we are all in danger.
What a dope.
What an utter, complete dope.
Are you in danger, Mr. Kersey, of being shot by ICE in cold blood?
I kind of think so.
No, I don't think so.
I'm not going to wear an abolish ICE t-shirt like one of the professional wrestlers we might talk about a little bit later.
Well, and you're also not going to blow a whistle in their face when they're trying to get their job done, box them in with your car, lay hands on them when they're doing your job.
So long as you don't do any of that, you have nothing to worry about.
And Mr. Schumer, unfortunately, I understand you are a U.S. citizen, so you're probably not going to have trouble with ICE.
And same for you, Bernie Sanders.
So far as we know, you are a U.S. citizen.
The idea that it's an invading army shooting Americans on site or in cold blood and that we're all at risk of being shot.
What, what, what utter pathetic dopes.
In any case, back to Tricia McLaughlin.
She said, an unprecedented number of counties in Minnesota have agreed to work with Holman to coordinate with ICE to transfer custody of criminal aliens upon their release.
It's about time.
And those commitments from local officials will continue to be monitored for compliance.
So, well, I guess it's still a little up in the air, Mr. Kersey, whether there's been a climb down or will be a climb down in Minneapolis.
I absolutely hate the idea that just because those idiots were in the street by the tens of thousands making pests of themselves, getting in the way of law enforcement, that law enforcement is going to be dialed back.
We shall have to see.
But yes, Mr. Kersey, tell us about how the ICE debate hit pro wrestling.
Well, before we jump over to the scripted world of pro-wrestling, I'd like to point out that the unscripted world of Blue Sky, the leftist alternative to Twitter, sir, they have been up in arms about the situation in Minnesota, of how it is not deteriorating and how people are still being snatched in very strategic manners, illegal aliens, mind you.
And it's no longer these type of missions that we saw in the latter part of January into early February that, of course, Tom Homan has said they are strategically reevaluating what's going on.
So I would not blackpill too much as to what's happening in Minnesota.
Well, it does seem that the people who are screaming continue to scream.
And let's hope that they have good reason to scream, namely that the enforcement effort has been only redirected and certainly not dialed back in any substantial way.
But yes, on to the big ring.
Well, it's not the big ring.
This is not the World Wrestling Entertainment, which is owned by TKO.
This is AEW, which has been around for about seven years now.
It airs on TBS and TNT.
It's an alternative to the WWE.
It airs on TVS and TNT.
And they had a show last night.
And one of the wrestlers, his name is Brody King.
He's this big white guy who's tatted up completely.
And last week on the program, the champion said, Never have I heard a liberal man speak who looks more like a Nazi.
It's a pretty funny line because he looks like actually, I won't say a skinhead because he's got this big beard and just tattoos on every part of his body.
But earlier this, earlier last, I should say at the end of last year, he was wearing abolish ice shirts to the ring.
And last night, fans chanted at a show in Las Vegas F ice, F ice, quite loudly.
I'm not going to repeat what that is.
You can imagine, ladies and gentlemen, this is a family show, but you could hear quite audibly the expletive that was used by the audience as both of the wrestlers in the ring were both quite shocked.
This was, of course, last night in regards to apparent opposition to ICE.
This happened as the bout was about to happen, and it wasn't that loud.
I mean, I don't know how many fans were there, sir.
I don't watch AEW, but I have seen the clip, and it then went on to the scripted match where, again, it's a work.
Wrestling's fake, ladies and gentlemen, in case you didn't know that.
So this was all scripted.
Oh, no, this is a great disappointment for me, Mr. Kersey.
I thought those guys were serious.
Sometimes it can become a shoot, but they were working last night.
And again, this guy's worn an Abolis Ice shirt.
I've actually tweeted him a couple times, hoping that he'd engage on the old X platform.
But he's through social media, Brody King, he's actually raised about $59,000 for groups supporting illegal aliens in the Twin Cities and throughout the country.
And he says that anybody who buys his paraphernalia, the Abolish ICE shirt, I'm not sure if it's affiliated with AEW, but he will donate those proceeds to help out illegal aliens or advocacy groups.
And this guy looks like Central Casting's Waffen-SS Commander.
No, Take a look at it real quick.
Just on your Google machine, type in Brody King and just go to images on Google and take a look at him.
He looks like somebody.
He looks like that horrifying term, a hicclib.
He looks like he's from Appalachia, just grotesque tattoos.
I mean, if you ever wanted to.
Oh, heavens, he's covered.
Yes.
Yeah.
And he's again, as somebody who is a fan of the WWE and professional wrestling, I just don't like AEW because it's a little more snug.
They definitely don't protect their each other in the ring, a lot of injuries.
And he's a guy who's never drawn a dime.
This is probably the first time.
Never drawn a dime.
Never drawn.
So that is, okay.
So in Kfabe terms, Kayfabe, you've lost me again.
Okay.
Okay.
When somebody is on the marquee, you know, people pay to see wrestlers.
And he's somebody who's so low on the card usually.
No one paid to come see Brody King.
They paid to go see Kenny Omega, who's one of the champions, or the Young Bucks.
Those are tag team wrestlers.
No one ever said, God, I can't wait to watch what this guy's storyline is doing.
I'm so invested in this character.
This is the first time anyone's ever really had anything to say about him.
Haitians and TPS Controversy 00:15:53
And it's to create this notion that there is a major pushback.
When again, this guy's fan base in Las Vegas was just saying, hey, you know, we agree with this guy, F-Ice.
And it was just an a little bit.
So wait, King is the guy who is opposed to ICE.
Well, maybe he's just calling attention to himself by opposing ICE when he knows that probably most of the audience is all in favor of ICE.
He's just trying to raise his profile.
Well, unfortunately, remember, in January of 2025, at Hulk Hogan's last appearance in Los Angeles, he was booed out of the building.
I wouldn't exactly call Los Angeles American territory anymore.
But, you know, this is all too deep for me.
I must say that professional wrestling is, in my view, one of the most colossally unimportant things I can even imagine.
But maybe next to the Super Bowl.
Well, let's see.
This weekend, by the way.
So I've been told.
So I've been told.
I think I'll have other plans.
Now, this is an interesting development.
A federal judge on Monday this week indefinitely postponed the termination of TPS status, temporary protective status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians.
There are approximately 330,000 of them here in the United States on temporary protective status.
The order came from U.S. District Judge Anoraeus of the District of Columbia.
More about her later.
The Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin, she is back on our Pad Kaya podcast again, said the Trump administration will appeal Supreme Court.
Here we come.
Temporary means temporary, and the final word will not come from an activist judge, said McLaughlin.
Trump tried to end TPS for Haitians last summer, but legal challenges forced the administration to set this year's February 3rd deadline.
Haitians under protected status were wondering whether they should go back or what they might face if they stayed in the United States illegally.
Well, I don't want them wondering what they might face if they stayed in the country illegally.
I want them to know exactly what will happen.
And it was President Barack Obama who designated Haiti and his fellow black Haitians for TPS in response to an earthquake that did a little number on the country back in 2010, 26, sorry, 16 years ago by my calculations, and temporary really should mean temporary, not 16 years.
It's usually in effect for about a year, but this was extended repeatedly.
And again, there are a third of a million of them.
Now, here's just a little bit of background on Judge Ana Reyes, who issued this order saying that they cannot be given the boot.
The temporary doesn't mean temporary.
Temporary, in their case, means as long as she likes.
Well, she was appointed by President Joe Biden, no surprise.
There, January 2023.
She was born in 1974 in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Yeah, she's Uruguayan.
She immigrated to the United States at about age five, initially from Spain.
They went from Uruguay to Spain.
I guess Spain just wasn't good enough.
And so they came.
Daddy came to the United States.
She grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, where I used to live.
And she spent over two decades at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Williams and Connolly, where she was recognized for pro bono work.
Guess doing what?
Working with refugee and asylum seekers, huh?
Yes, that's her.
That is her ballgame.
She is openly lesbian, and she's the first openly LGBTQ or plus person, as well as the first Latina to serve as a district judge in the District of Columbia.
Now, I wanted to know how she became a U.S. citizen.
I think it wasn't Ilan Omar who became a U.S. citizen sort of as a family event because her daddy became a U.S. citizen, but her daddy might have done it under false pretenses, which would mean that her citizenship could be revoked also.
Well, she filed some very odd paperwork that people have long questioned as to whether or not she potentially married her brother.
Not for us then too, but yep, yep, yep.
In any case, I'm curious.
There's no public information about how or when she became a U.S. citizen, but apparently she claims to be.
I took a look at her photograph.
She could certainly pass for white, and it's no surprise to hear that she is a lesbian.
She certainly looks the part there, too.
Well, now, Mr. Kerzy, I understand that there are Jewish groups in Florida who were preparing to hide Anne Frank.
But thanks to this lesbian U.S. judge, they may not have to, not just yet.
Yeah, this is not from the Babylon B, guys.
This is from the foreword.
Reminds me of Anne Frank.
Jewish seniors and Holocaust survivors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers.
Now, as you said, February 3rd, 2026 was the date that you, again, accurately stated that the Biden administration stated that TPS was supposed to end for Haitians at 1159 Eastern.
Now, mind you, Trump tried to get TPS for Venezuelans and Haitians ended almost immediately upon taking office back.
Wait, wait, wait.
Was it the Biden administration that set February 3rd for them?
Not Trump?
That's interesting.
Biden admin that said it.
Trump wanted to speed things up initially with Venezuelans because the largest group that has TPS status in the U.S. is actually Venezuelans, followed by Haitians, then Ukrainians, Hondurans.
And actually, El Salvador has a shockingly high number of TPS.
Well, so it was Biden.
Even Biden wanted him out by February 3rd.
Well, it had to end.
It had to end at some point.
Yeah, you'd think so, but not when you're Judge Reyes.
Don't remember when that date was set, but it leads you to think, I wonder if this was set before the 2024 election in November, thinking that, oh, Harris is going to win.
We'll be able to just go ahead and extend that at some point if we just set some arbitrary date long into the future.
But time keeps on slipping into the future, no matter how much you want it to stop.
And, well, unfortunately, this article appeared before Judge Reyes' decision, or her, she put forth that stoppage of TPS being expiring for Haitians at the Sinai residences in Boca Raton, Florida.
You ever been to Boca Raton?
I've never been.
It's actually quite new.
You know what that means literally in Spanish?
No.
That's the rat's mouth.
The rat's mouth.
Yes.
Boca is a mouth and a raton is a rat.
Gracias, I am mistaken.
Gracias.
Gracias, Senor Taylor.
Hey, that's okay.
Anytime.
You want a rat's mouth from me?
I'll slip you one anytime.
We'll start calling it the rat's mouth instead of Boca Raton.
Well, 500 seniors living in the Sinai residences, including many Holocaust survivors.
Well, they recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building's Haitian staff in their apartments.
Quote, that reminds me of Anne Frank, Rachel Bloomberg, president and CEO of the center, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency: there's a kindred bond between our residents being Jewish and seeing the place that the Haitians have gone through.
I wonder what that means, seeing the place.
Have they all been to Port-au-Prince?
I don't know, anyways.
The seniors were aware of something that is only beginning to dawn on the rest of the country, that in addition to the aggressive immigration enforcement operations underway across the nation, the Trump admin has moved to cancel TPS for immigrants from a handful of countries once deemed too unsafe to return to.
And again, they're not immigrants.
They are citizens of other nations where it is unsafe for them to be.
And of course, TPS was granted, as you mentioned, due to the hurricane.
I'm sorry, the earthquake back in 2010 that I believe it actually destroyed the presidential palace, sir, that the Marines built when the nation was occupied from 1915 to 1934.
Well, it sure did damage it terribly.
I remember seeing photographs of that.
I wonder if they've ever gotten around to rebuilding it.
But that's great.
General Barbecue is not hosting any presidential.
Well, I saw some joke according to which after the assessment was made, it was estimated that the property value of a Port-au-Prince had actually arisen by $1 billion thanks to the earthquake.
But that was an unkind observation.
It was only $1 million.
Come on.
So, yes.
So, please continue.
Yeah.
Well, with the judge also paused the end of TPS for Venezuelans, but again, this was written before the Judge Reyes' decision.
350,000 Haitians, it's actually close to 400,000.
They should have lost their status on Tuesday evening at 11:59 Eastern.
That would have immediately, immediately on the spot, ended their right to live and work in the U.S. legally and put them at risk of immediate detention and deportation.
Quick segue: Governor DeWine in Ohio has actually been decrying this.
He's a Republican because they don't want to lose all that labor that has magically found its way to Springfield.
You, of course, remember Springfield from 2024, which is where it was stated that pets were going missing and perhaps being consumed by these Haitians.
I never believed that, but be that as it may.
Well, the deadline sent waves of panic through communities with many Haitian immigrants, as mentioned Ohio, and in South Florida, because Mr. Taylor, you might not know this.
Half of the Haitians who have TPS reside in Florida.
So you're talking about close to 200,000 people are Haitians with TPS status.
I wonder how many of them actually work.
There must be some number.
But to me, it's quite fascinating.
You say that these people in the Jewish retirement home at the South want to hide their workers in their apartments.
They're going to put them up in the spare bedroom or something?
Down in the floorboard?
I don't know.
I mean, that's what Rachel Bloomberg, the president and CEO of the center, I mean, to have, you know, to dare mention that.
I think you and I were talking the other day, and wasn't it Governor Waltz?
He made some sort of ridiculous comment about hiding illegals like Anne Frank and from the attic.
And that definitely provoked the ire of the ADL and another number of other organizations.
That's right.
The ADL said, how dare you?
How dare you politicize the Holocaust?
Now, they would never do such a thing, the ADL.
But in any case, Waltz, he got slapped down quite vigorously today.
Well, at the Sinai residences, for example, 9% of staff members are Haitians with TPS.
And they weren't supposed to be able to work after this past Tuesday.
But of course, with the stay on that expiration, they are still probably working.
So no one needs to be hidden like Anne Frank.
In total, 69% of the center staff are foreign-born caregiving industries, according to the forward.
Caregiving industries are heavily dependent on immigrant workers.
So to make up for the expected losses, the center is redoubling its hiring efforts.
Representatives from other Jewish senior living homes say they will need to turn to temp agencies, suggesting a growing inconsistency in senior care.
I mean, sir, there is no central government right now in Haiti.
Haiti, I don't know if you've actually read some of the stories coming out of Port-au-Prince, especially toward the end of the year, but there were something like 6,500 homicides in all of 2025.
I mean, just utterly lawless.
Dare I say unprecedented lawless in a place that is infamous for lawlessness.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you're making an argument for Judge Reyes.
Maybe Judge Reyes is right.
It would be inhumane to send them back home.
Can't do that.
I guess we could say, well, let's send them to the Dominican Republic.
Oh, the Dominican Republican won't take that.
They would show Tom Homan.
They would show Bovino.
They'd show Trump how you deal with illegal immigrants.
If you just sent down some observers to watch how Haitians are dealt with when they cross the border illegally into the Dominican Republic, it is a I don't think there's an equal in the entire country of how they deal with illegal immigrants in Dominican Republic.
Let's just call it efficient.
And for those of you, for those of you who are saying, well, these Jews in retirement are perfectly happy for Haitians to come here.
They have to, I would remind all of you, that Ethiopians have been going to Israel.
And demonstrators gathered outside the Knesset on Sunday demanding the government facilitate the immigration of approximately 10,000 relatives of Israelis of Ethiopian descent.
They said there's ongoing violence and strife in Ethiopia's Tigray region.
And there's an organization called Power for Aliyah.
Aliyah is the Hebrew word, which means immigrating to Israel.
Power for Aliyah is an organization that assists these Ethiopian immigrants.
An estimated 2,000 protesters came from across the country, mainly from Ethiopian community.
I saw photographs.
I couldn't find anybody who didn't look Ethiopian to me.
But many of them still have family members waiting in Ethiopia to immigrate.
There's been a long-standing effort to bring to Israel descendants of Ethiopian Jews who converted to Christianity and Christianity in the 19th century, often under duress.
That's because the Ethiopians were Christians of one sort or another, and it's claimed that they forced these Ethiopian Jews to convert.
Now, the question of how these Ethiopians became Jewish has always been a bit of a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
And DNA tests, I remember at the time, showed that these Ethiopian Jews are not Jews by any biological definition.
There is nothing Semitic about them, but they claim to have been Jews.
Now, a minority known as Falasha Mura has been brought to Israel in the 1980s and 1990s.
They were extracted from Ethiopia, and they are widely seen as the main and oldest Jewish presence in Ethiopia.
They're also known as Beta Israel.
And in 1992, Beta Israel Ethiopians living in Israel began lobbying for their converted relatives who'd stayed behind to be allowed to integrate.
Ethiopian Jews Debate 00:07:36
Immigrate, I mean to say.
And following government decisions in 2020, community members whose parents or children live in Israel may immigrate.
But only if they're unmarried and have no children.
So they can get married to Israelis and have children there.
In 2021, 2,000 community members, many of whom have been waiting for years at transit camps in Gondar and Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, were brought to Israel.
See, Israel does not close its borders to blacks.
The operation was, in essence, a family reunification program.
And by July 2023, an additional 3,000 immigrants were brought over.
Some critics of the government argue that immigration is blocked because of racism.
Well, what do you think of that?
Well, on another subject of immigration, Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston.
And I don't know at what point her family came to China, but I don't think it was all that long ago.
In any case, she's of Chinese.
It was definitely after the show Cheers ended, sir.
So it was definitely after the, I think it was in the mid-90s.
Now, how do you know that it was after the show Cheers ended?
I just thought it'd be funny to say.
I will look up the show.
I remember reading somewhere where she came because I believe she didn't.
She graduates from one of the Ivy League schools.
That sounds about right.
Anyway, look up, this is going to be very short, actually.
But a video of her has gone viral in which she says every human being on earth has the legal right to come to the United States.
Well, that's not actually true.
If you want to seek asylum, you're supposed to do it from your own country.
You're not supposed to come marching across the border illegally and then claim asylum.
In any case, Texans Republican Representative Brendan Gill, he posted a note saying, Dems demand infinity immigration, then infinity welfare, all at Americans' expense.
That's pretty good.
Mr. Taylor, may I jump in and remind you?
We actually talked about this very story.
Something's fascinating.
Something really fascinating is happening on Twitter.
Old clips are now going viral because Elon Musk, he didn't see them when they occurred.
You started that story saying an old clip has gone viral.
Yes.
It is so important that this is a problem.
How old is that, by the way?
Do you know?
October, September of 2025?
Because I remember what happened.
I said, keep your eye on Mayor Wu.
She's somebody who's going to be a major up-and-comer and a player moving forward as the Democrat Party becomes increasingly triangulating all this anti-white animosity that you have and the pushback that's coming against ICE.
And this clip, I remember seeing it, and it's so imperative that people keep retweeting old stuff because stuff like this.
Never let them live it down.
Hang this around her neck at every opportunity.
Now, I remember we talked about this also when it happened.
She's the same Boston mayor, the very same Michelle Wu, who sponsored a no whites Christmas party in City Hall after she took office in 2023.
And when they pointed at us, she said, no, no, it wasn't the idea.
We weren't going to exclude non-whites.
We just invited non-whites.
There's a difference, you know.
Anyway, there you go.
Now let's see.
So, did you find out when her ancestors showed up, when she showed up?
Do you get any background on her?
What's up?
I'll keep pulling that up.
Okay, well, then that's all right.
That's right.
We'll look it up some other time.
Now, you have a story about the New England Patriots.
Well, the only reason that's Boston, too.
The only reason I brought this one in, sir, is because you have to have to have a story when the big game is going to be played, the Super Bowl.
I'm not sure if we even legally are allowed to say the Super Bowl and not get sued by the NFL.
The Patriots owner is under fire for discriminatory BIPOC job requirements.
So, this is a story the Daily Wire did.
So, we mentioned Ben Shapiro earlier and the award he got from City Journal Manhattan Institute.
Well, here's some journalism that they have.
Billionaire Robert Kraft's company, best known for owning the New England Patriots.
Well, he's under fire for a job post that appears to discriminate against white applicants on the basis of their race.
The Kraft Company, a holding company that owns the Patriots, the New England Revolution soccer team, and Gillette Stadium, where both play.
Well, they posted a job listing for sports management associate position, listing having a non-white racial background as a qualification, specifying that it's looking for a black, indigenous, and person of color, BIPOC, candidate.
The goal of this program is to diversify the future of the sports and entertainment management industry by providing opportunity and access to BIPOC candidates connected to the New England community.
The job posting read, or it wreathed.
The Kraft Company claims the same job posting, that is, that it's an equal opportunity employer evaluating applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, and other legally protected characteristics.
Oh, boy.
The job listing, which was posted on Zip Recruiter, told the Dallas Express that it violated the platform's terms of use and would be removed.
Actually, we're not going to talk about it, but the EEOC is actually investigating Nike right now for unbelievably anti-white policies when it came to hiring practices there.
You know, you know, it's interesting that ZipRecruiter says you can't post like that.
That's sort of encouraging, I guess.
Well, they're probably terrified of a lawsuit.
I'm sure indeed.
I'm sure Nice.
I'm sure all these job boards are terrified of pending litigation as more and more attorneys get frisky when it comes to defending the rights of white applicants.
Quote, we're in the process of removing the job posting, the platform explained, ZipRecruiter.
ZipRecruiter has established a trust and safety team, job quality team, that reviews listings on accounts that are brought to their attention via system flag or job seeker complaint.
Now, the Kraft group did not respond to a request for comment by the Daily Wire, but the EEOC Commission has explained that it's, quote, illegal to discriminate against someone, applicant or employee, because of that person's race.
Points out that it's also illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement showing a preference for or discouraging someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex, et cetera, et cetera.
Kraft Group is far from the only company that's discriminating against whites in the name of DEI.
NASCAR, which banned the Confederate flag being flown, Mr. Taylor, at any of their races after George Floyd was expired back in 2020.
They banned white applicants from having access to a diversity internship on the basis of their race, which was called blatantly illegal by one lawyer who was quoted anonymously in an investigation by the Daily Wire.
NASCAR did remove the racial eligibility requirement following the report.
Anchor Babies and Consequences 00:03:53
And like I said, we're not going to talk about the story.
We'll probably talk about it next week, but Nike is under significant scrutiny because of just how diverse and how many BIPOCs they hired.
You recall that, I think it was either Bloomberg or Business Week that noted that after 2020, when the racial reckoning took place, sir, that 94% of those hired by Fortune 500 companies were BIPOCs.
You know, scrutiny is all very fine.
That's the word you used.
I want consequences.
I'm waiting for consequences.
Let's hope Nike faces consequences.
Anyway, is that all on that story?
Because I got the dough down on Michelle Wu.
Bring back Michelle Wu.
She's an anchor baby.
Her mommy and her daddy showed up in the United States one year before she was born.
And mommy and daddy didn't speak much English.
And so, as the eldest child, she often served as an interpreter for her family.
And she often brings up her immigrant background when she's campaigning and making public statements.
She is fluent in Mandarin and she did graduate from Harvard.
So your recollections were correct on that.
So she is not only an anchor baby, but one of those people who was born in the United States and therefore got birthright citizenship.
Yeah, she was born the same year that I was born, actually.
So she was reared in that part of the country when Cheers was then Brown Show.
And I know you never watched the show, but it famously has no non-whites.
And it gives you the impression that Boston is just this white opioid.
Okay.
Moving right along.
Now, this is a story from the Free Beacon, which is a pretty good source for interesting stories.
It's about an event that received blanket media coverage in March 2021, although I don't remember it myself.
You probably do because you remember everything.
And it claimed that white middle schoolers in Plano, Texas viciously tortured Sumerian Humphrey, their black classmate, forcing him to drink their urine at a sleepover and shooting him with BB guns.
Well, there were violent protests that broke out outside the house of Asher Van.
This is middle school student, the white child, alleged to have been the ringleader.
And Sumerian and his mother, Summer Smith, and their lawyer, Kim Cole, went on a media tour where they called the young white guy evil.
The trio appeared on the Gordon Morning America show, where ABC host Lindsey Davis promoted a GoFundMe account, and they got about $120,000 to pay for young Humphrey's therapy and private schooling.
Well, just a little under five years later, that is to say, on Jan 22nd, a Texas jury that included four blacks ruled the whole thing was bogus.
And the district court judge ordered Mama Smith and cold the lawyer to pay $3.2 million in damages to young Van, who is now attending his first year of college.
Good luck getting any of that money.
As it turns out, Mama put less than $1,000 of the $120,000 to GoFundMe Windfall towards her schooling.
The rest went on a designer dog.
I guess those things can be costly.
Dining and travel, beauty products, liquor vapes, cell phones, car payments, and rent.
Blew it all easily.
It was all a hoax.
Money Hoax Exposed 00:03:33
Do you remember this back in 2020?
I don't recall hearing about it at all.
Do you?
I vaguely do, but I think it was one of those stories that we both immediately were leery of.
We thought to ourselves, yeah, this doesn't pass the Wallace test.
No, this does not pass the smell test.
In any case, it sounds as though justice has finally been done.
But again, good luck getting any money out of these creeps.
Now, here's Moore Black Baloney.
The governor of the state where I live.
Maryland Governor Wesmore, who is widely expected to seek the 2028 Democrat presidential nomination, he has a powerful family story of racial injustice.
His grandfather, as a small boy, fled Charleston in the 1920s with his family in the dead of night after his father, a prominent black minister, that is to say, Westmore's great-grandpa, angered the Ku Klux Klan by sermons condemning racism.
He narrowly escaped inching and lynching, sorry, and the family took refuge in Jamaica.
But Moore's grandfather, just six years old at the time, vowed to return to America where he eventually raised a grandson who made history in 2022 by becoming Maryland's first black gunner.
Now, this was the repeated central theme of Westmore's 2022 campaign stump speech.
Yep, great-grandpa and grandpa had to flee to Jamaica because the Ku Klux Klan was about to lynch great-grandpa.
Well, detailed church archival records as well as contemporary newspaper reports indicate that Thomas, that was the fellow's name, the great-grandpa, a Jamaica native, on December 13th, 1924, made an orderly and public transfer from South Carolina to the island of his birth.
He was from Jamaica originally.
And he was there appointed to succeed a prominent Jamaican pastor who had died unexpectedly a week earlier.
And amid the copious documentation of the life and career of Moore's great-grandfather, there is no mention ever so what of any kind of trouble at all with the Ku Klux Klan.
And Jamaica was a natural fit for great-grandpa, who was born on the island in 1880, and he held a government-appointed post as a marriage officer before he moved to the United States for a decade-long stay.
So, all Hokum and Baloney.
It turns out Westmore, my governor, falsely claimed that he was born and grew up in Baltimore, which he did not.
That he was inducted into the Maryland College Football Hall of Fame.
The organization doesn't exist.
That he received a bronze star for his service in Afghanistan, which he hadn't.
And that in 2006, he was considered a foremost expert on radical Islam based on his graduate thesis, which he never submitted to Oxford University Library, and which cannot be located.
And of course, the most unforgivable sin is that he claimed he was in some Hall of Fame for football when he didn't even play football.
I don't know about that.
There is no such Hall of Fame.
He also claimed he was a doctoral candidate at Oxford, a claim he has no documentation to support and on which Oxford refuses to comment.
Slaves at Washington's House 00:08:24
I mean, you'd think they would figure it out one way or another and say yes or no.
Oxford's lips are sealed and he can't prove it.
He also claims he had a difficult childhood in the Bronx and Baltimore despite attending New York City's elite private Riverdale country school.
That's where John F. Kennedy went to school.
And he was not living in Baltimore until he went to college where he attended top flight Johns Hopkins University.
This guy apparently has just made up everything and everything and anything about his background and reached for comment.
This is my favorite part.
A spokesman for Westmore, whose name is Amar Moussa, he accused the Free Beacon of being ignorant of basic history.
That's the problem.
They're ignorant of basic history.
Well, let's see how we got five minutes left here.
Let's see.
You had an interesting story.
I hope we can fit it in about references to slaves at Washington's house in Philadelphia being expunged.
I didn't even know that there was a house of his in Philadelphia that you go visit that talked about slaves at all.
Do tell.
Yeah.
So a Philadelphia, a U.S. district judge, Cynthia Roof, R-U-F-E, maybe it's Rufi, Roof, we'll just call her Judge Cynthia.
She's overseeing Philadelphia's federal lawsuit against the Trump administration over the removal of a slavery exhibit at the president's house, ordered the federal government to mitigate any further deterioration or damage to the exhibit's panels after inspecting their condition.
Judge Cynthia filed an inspection report on Monday where she wrote that the 34 panels, both glass and metal, are stored in a secure place and have not been destroyed.
But she noted that some panels exhibited damage.
I'm thinking back to all the monuments we saw just destroyed.
Thinking of, you know, Richmond, Virginia, where Monument Avenue was.
We saw it.
We saw it in June of 2020.
No federal judge stepped in to say, hey, you know, the city has, you can't allow this type of degradation and deterioration of these monuments that have stood for more than 100 years.
You got to stop.
You have to protect them.
No, that didn't happen.
They were didn't happen at all.
Still to be determined by the court is the extent of any damage and the integrity of the exhibits regarding their ameniability to being restored to their original condition, she wrote.
Counsel the Trump admin and for the city of Philadelphia attended the inspection, after which Judge Cynthia told reporters that she observed some marks on the panels, but could not determine when or how they were made.
The panels, which were removed by the National Park Service on January 22nd, tell the stories of the nine enslaved Africans who were held by President George Washington at the President's house, an open-air outdoor exhibit and memorial at the Independence National Historical Park that was built where Washington's mansion originally stood.
Judge Cynthia ordered the federal government on February 1st to securely store all removed panels and to mitigate any further estated deterioration or damage.
During a hearing, she said that she planned to inspect the panels as she considers whether the removal could cause irreparable harm as she considers a motion for preliminary injunction filed by the city.
Mr. Kersey, I don't quite understand.
I'm looking now on the internet since I'd never heard of this house, but it was demolished in 1832.
And as you said, it's an outdoor archaeological site.
What are these panels?
These are panels that were part of the outdoor archaeological site.
And they might have been, these precious panels might have been damaged.
Is that what we're talking about?
No, I believe they're panels that actually detail the lives of the Africans who were enslaved.
And they tell you a little bit, some background, some historical background.
I actually saw them being removed.
And it was part of the DEI, the anti-DEI initiatives.
It's sort of like the story we're about to, we won't get to, but about this, How the National Park Service is removing visor brochures from the Medgar and Merely Evers home, National Monument in Mississippi, where they're no longer going to call his murderer racist.
They're basically going and they're saying, we don't really want to have Washington's history just be dedicated to saying this was a white, a dead white male racist slaveholder and de-emphasizing that aspect.
Yes.
Because it was only in Avenging the Ancestors Coalition, which was an advocacy group founded in 2002 by attorney Michael Cord.
He launched the 2002 campaign, 2000, yeah, 2002 campaign to urge the city to include a slavery memorial in the building of the president's house.
Okay.
The group filed an amicus brief in support of the city's lawsuit, also participated in the inspection.
He told reporters that the panels should be stored in a room against wall.
The way that they were being stored was completely disrespectful, demoralizing, defiling.
So again, ask how he defines desecration.
He said the sixth and Market Street site where America's first White House stood is historical holy ground.
And anytime you defile holy ground, you desecrate it.
Well, see, it sounds like this was a panel that was put up in the early 2000s.
And it's just some sort of this isn't of any particular value at all.
I mean, it sounds, it makes it sound like it was some important part of the house that was original to the house.
Well, here's a little bit more of the background.
Okay, thanks.
The city is seeking a permanent injunction that we restore the panels, which are the heart, the beating heart of the slavery memorial at the president's house, an exhibit born out of grassroots community activism that opened in 2010 following robust community input and facilitated by a corporate agreement, by a cooperative agreement between the city of Philadelphia and the National Park Services.
I'm sure it had plenty of corporate support there in the Philadelphia area, considering how many corporate headquarters are.
Okay, okay.
Now I'm beginning to understand how this worked.
This is all about embedding DEI into the heart of the celebration of America.
It's sort of like what's happened at the at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.
It's what's happening at Washington's home.
It's what's happened at VMI.
Luckily, it hasn't happened in Williamsburg.
They've done a good job of distancing any of the truly insane DEI aspects from Williamsburg and James County Yorktown.
Yeah, I visited Montpelier, which was, oh, for heaven's sake, President, how can this possibly be escaping by name?
War of 18.
No, no, no, War of 1812.
Madison, Madison.
Madison's home.
That was blacks, enslaved people, this enslaved people.
It was all about enslaved people.
And you'd go into a room that sort of still decorated the way Montpelier was decorated.
And you have a few sort of cutouts of white people.
And then there are half a dozen black slaves.
They're even more important than the white people.
It's just all black slave this, black slave that.
But yeah, see, now it's all what you're talking about is coming into picture here.
There's this outdoor exhibit that explains that what used to be called, well, what was in effect the White House at the time.
Adams lived there, apparently, and George Washington lived there.
The building's not there anymore, but there was a little thing that said, okay, this used to be where the White House was.
And now Avenging Our Ancestors insisted the whole thing be turned into all the most important thing was that there were black slaves who lived there that George Washington had brought up from Monticello.
And I guess the Trump administration said, well, no, that's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that George Washington lived there, not the black slaves.
Thank You For Your Attention 00:00:21
It's all a matter of emphasis.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I fear the time has slipped by, as it always does.
And ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for your attention.
It is a joy and an honor to spend this time with you.
And we look forward to having this conversation again next week.
Thank you so very much.
