Time Text
Remigration March in Belgium 00:05:32
Ladies and gentlemen, dear listeners, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, and with me is my indispensable co host, the one and only Paul Kersey.
We missed a program last week, Mr. Kersey and I, because I was in Belgium participating in my very first remigration march.
And I may talk about that at some point.
It was really a wonderful and glorious affair.
But Mr. Kersey and I hope that as a consequence, all of our listeners are perishing for.
Another dose of American Renaissance.
In any case, here it comes.
And as usual, we will begin with comments.
This one begins I am Norwegian, and one of my brothers works in Norwegian media.
He told me that somebody at work had put together a PowerPoint presentation just for internal use only, which featured only images of white Norwegians.
A middle manager browbeat the guy, telling him explicitly to ask AI for diversity.
As it happens, the terms racial bias and diversity are the ones we use.
English, not Norwegian.
Just the English phrases plucked straight out of U.S. lefty jargon and stuck right into our native language.
Listening to Norwegian lefties talk about politics feels like listening to Hindi speakers with English words peppered throughout their sentences.
I don't think I've ever heard that, but I can imagine.
This kind of English is found only on the left, and it seems like a sign that U.S. influence always pushes us in that direction.
During the Obama and Biden administrations, such terms had a pro-US tinge.
But under Trump, they persist as paradoxical signs of anti-Americanism.
In either case, U.S. influence drags us always away from good sense.
I love Anglo-Saxon culture, and I don't mean to demean your once great republic.
But do you agree that the liberation of Europeans would necessarily entail our liberation from the U.S. and its media-academic empire?
Well, short answer yes.
He goes on to say, real progress seems out of the question for now because sensible policies are seen as gross by our own elites and are automatically dismissed as insane.
I realize the irony of sending this comment to the American Renaissance, which has been undoubtedly a healthy American influence on me, but this seems like an exception that proves the rule.
Well, I cannot agree more.
I think for decades, the United States of America has been.
Pumping poisons into the bloodstreams of every white speaking or every white English speaking, any kind of European country.
And it's about time we stopped doing that.
It's just been a terrible, terrible thing that we've done.
I think all of these extreme forms of wokeism, the United States has pushed them harder than any other country.
And yes, I apologize on behalf of my fellow Americans.
I imagine you feel the same way about it too, Mr. Kersey.
Well, I'd ask you, Mr. Taylor, hasn't it been Basically, the standard operating procedure since World War II ended.
I mean, you look at the state and what we've seen with US aid, which was closed back in 2025, and what it was funding a dysgenic breed program in Africa to basically allow a population that cannot sustain itself without that aid to grow to unprecedented numbers.
Well, that's one thing, but just a kind of re education program for Europeans, a denazification, as was called, trying to kick out every kind of healthy attitude.
No, we have been a scourge and a terror, and I would be the first to admit it.
As would I. As a Southerner, I would be very happy to admit it.
Yes, it's the Yankees.
Of course, I don't know.
There have been a lot of Southerners involved in it, too.
Very shameful.
Far from it.
Another comment.
I am a 24-year-old from Alabama and a first year in law school.
I have seen what's become of my hometown of Tuscaloosa.
My family's cemetery has been here for almost two centuries.
It's now next to a housing project.
That seems like a metaphor for what my nation has become.
What can I do to make a difference?
White Americans are quickly becoming a minority.
I want to do what I can to stop this.
Well, if you become a lawyer, lawyers can be very effective.
There are some public interest law firms that work for our side.
FIRE, with the Foundation of Individual Responsibility and Expression.
Isn't that what FIRE stands for?
That's a very good one.
It is.
Stephen Miller has got a great law firm going that really tries to go after all the anti white excesses.
American First.
Yes, that's right.
America.
What is it?
Well, the full name is America First something, in any case.
America First Committee.
That's a, that's a, that's a, that's something else.
But also, hey, Mr. Taylor, I just point out the Department of Justice is hiring, ICE, DHS is hiring as an attorney.
I think the fact is that they just put out an amazing request to fill State Department positions.
Well, this guy, this guy is a first year.
But we would like to think that the next administration will also be hiring people like our listener.
Glock Pedantry and Hiring 00:05:13
No, there are many ways.
I mean, you can join any kind of racially oriented group if there's one in your area, even maybe start infiltrating the young Republicans if there are young Republicans in your law school.
A lot of people are doing this, infiltrating the Republican Party, both the party as a whole, young Republicans, maybe a Turning Point USA chapter that's around.
You can turn that into a better direction.
There are things that you can do.
I know it's extremely frustrating, but if you are a lawyer and you're a brainy lawyer, then that is one skill that you can certainly bring before.
cause of trying to save our race in North America.
Here's another comment that is introduced with the words, just a bit of pedantry on the current state of Glock, that is the pistol manufacturer, as discussed on Radio Renaissance.
And to remind our readers, we talked about the terrible persecution of Glock that resulted from one spectacular killing using a Glock that had been illegally modified so it would shoot like a machine pistol.
And the state of California made Glock bring out new versions of.
All its models so they could be modified, so they couldn't be modified by what was then known as the Glock switch.
This was very popular among our dusky brethren.
They would take this little thing and turn a Glock standard pistol into something that would just go bang, with one port of a trigger.
Our listener goes on to say the Glock Generation 5 was discontinued and replaced with the Gen V. Now, that looks like a Roman numeral 5, but I suppose it would be pronounced Gen V. Do you know for sure?
I would assume so, because otherwise they're both Gen 5.
I believe that's correct.
That's correct.
Okay.
The Gen V came out in late 2025 at the height of the Glock switch controversy.
V models were basically the same as Gen 5, but you just couldn't use the switch.
However, a new Glock switch was designed for it within a week of it hitting the market.
Now, I find this quite astonishing.
That suggests that these ghetto engineers are smarter than Glock engineers.
Probably some brainy white guy who knows where the market lies.
But in any case, that's very surprising.
In a week, they came up with a new switch that would work.
In any case, there is a completely new Glock Generation 6 announced in January and released this year, but they sell out fast and are hard to get.
The only Gen 6 models out so far are the Glock 17, 19, and 45, 45 being a Glock 17 grip with a Glock 19 slide.
So essentially, that's just three models.
People who like the Glocks like Generation 6, but there isn't a lot of aftermarket support for them yet.
And users are still figuring out which of the Generation 3, 4, and 5 aftermarket parts work and which don't with Gen 6.
Yeah, I can see that.
There's just a huge, huge proliferation of aftermarket stuff for these very popular models.
Which ones work on the Glock 6?
They're still trying to figure that out.
Also, there's been some speculation that given the very short period of time, barely a month between the Gen V launch and the Gen 6 announcement, the Gen 6 Appears to have been rushed out because of the switch hullabaloo without finishing all of the necessary RD.
Because they were banned, they were banned in California.
It was just absolutely outrageous, outrageous to make a very successful company make a very successful product to just ban their products in one of the biggest states in the union simply because some guy had modified it in a way that was utterly illegal to begin with.
In any case, Glock is still making and selling the Gen V models.
And it appears to be treating it as their legacy line before all the Gen 6 versions of other models are ready.
The situation in California, bad as it was, seems to have had very little effect on everyone else getting the Glock he wants in other states.
Well, I'm very glad to hear that.
Now, as a final note, our listener says I've heard that the SIG P365 series has surpassed Glock, or at the very least is very close to surpassing Glock as the most popular civilian handgun in the United States.
In fact, I looked into it, and that is true.
The SIG Sauer P365 topped the list of best selling handguns ahead of the Glock 19.
And number two is the Glock 43X Taurus 22, the SIG P320.
And it's been the number one seller since 2019.
Of course, that includes the whole 365 series, the X, the XL, the X Macro, and the 365 Fuse.
In any case, it is very interesting to hear that we have people who know about firearms who listen to our program, Mr. Kersey.
Flight from White America 00:15:45
You and I occasionally discuss them.
With listeners like this gentleman, we sure better not make any mistakes.
Well, as we always do, we would like to remind you how much we like hearing from our listeners, especially people who know their stuff and who are in a position to correct us if we make an error of some kind.
There are two ways to reach us.
You can get a message straight to me if you go to our website, amren.com, that stands for American Renaissance, and hit the contact us tab.
Write your message, and it will come to me or.
Because we live here at protonmail.com.
Once again, that's because we live here at protonmail.com.
And by the way, welcome back.
We definitely missed last week, but we'll make up for it in this first program of April, quarter two, 2026.
Of course, I may be absent with leave next couple of weeks, Mr. Kersey, because I'm going back to Europe.
It's all very confusing and very tiring.
But I guess I should point out briefly, had a wonderful time.
Marching in the remigration parade.
It was sponsored by the Nationalist Student Association of Flanders.
And this is a 50 year old organization, but it has really turned its attention to remigration now.
And right on its homepage, it says, Why do we do what we do?
Because our leaders have betrayed us.
Our nation is being overrun by third worlders.
We're not going to lie on our backs and do nothing about it.
And one of the things we do is.
We put on these marches.
Very, very inspiring to be marching with, it was an estimated maybe 600 people waving flags, chanting slogans, marching through the streets of beautiful Leuven, L U V E N.
It's a university town in Flanders.
Very, very exciting.
There's something, there's really, it's just great to be with all of these mostly young men and women who are clearly dedicated to saving their race and civilization.
It was just A very, very inspiring event.
If you have an opportunity to participate in one of these in Europe, maybe even someday in the United States, I cannot urge you more strongly to do so.
Well, our first story, oh, by the way, I did make a video about it, and you can see the video on our homepage, or if you go to amren.com, you can see the video.
Our first story is about birthright citizenship.
And on Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments on the case.
That was just yesterday.
And it stems from the executive order Trump issued on his first day back in the White House.
He tried to nullify the long standing rule that granted citizenship to any baby born in the U.S., even if parents are illegals.
That order was immediately blocked in the courts.
And it has to do with the 14th Amendment.
The language of which is as follows.
Excuse me, all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens.
That was adopted in 1868 to reverse part of the court's 1857 Dred Scott decision, which held that black people of African descent were not and could not be U.S. citizens.
They might be citizens of the states, but could never be federal citizens.
So the issue is what is subject to the jurisdiction thereof?
In the Trump view, children of illegals.
Aren't subject to U.S. jurisdiction because their parents don't owe any allegiance to the U.S., but instead to the nations they left behind.
Children of illegals should be treated the way we treat diplomats' children.
They're born on U.S. soil, but under the flag of a foreign nation.
Now, a victory in the Supreme Court would mean that 200,000 babies a year would not be U.S. citizens.
Of course, what that means is every year we get 200,000 utterly unwanted U.S. citizens.
The executive order would affect only babies born in the future.
Now, opponents say this would create chaos because people would have to, the people who grant birth certificates and have to figure out citizenship would have to determine citizenship of the people, the mother.
Practically every other country does that.
If they could do it, so could we.
Excuse me, Trump attended yesterday's arguments in person, but he stayed only for the government's case.
No sitting president has ever attended an argument like this before the Supreme Court.
However, those who were in the court seem to generally agree that a majority of Supreme Court justices seem to be skeptical of Trump's position.
However, the argument went on for two hours, and several of the court's conservatives did ask tough questions of the lawyer for the his boo.
American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the legal challenge.
At the end of June, we'll get an answer.
Now, something that's always worried me about this case I mean, this case has to be brought.
A decision has to be made, I suppose, because if you don't attempt it, then things will just continue as they are.
But if the Supreme Court really finally comes down the side of, yep, anybody born here, even if only in an airplane flying over the territorial United States or a yacht sailing through American territorial waters, such a person is a U.S. citizen.
Then, if the Supreme Court says that, that will really set the pattern for a long, long time to come.
And, Mr. Kersey, you have a remarkable story about the number of Chinese who have taken advantage of this quirk in our law and who have become really the experts in birth tourism.
Extraordinary story out of the New York Post.
And this is one of those, as you're reading it, you're just thinking to yourself, please don't let this be true.
But, But unfortunately, it is.
And also, I'd like to point out that Fox News had just an extraordinary story that showed that 10% of births in 2023, Mr. Taylor, were to non American citizens in the United States.
Wow, 10% are to non American citizens.
So these people became U.S. citizens.
Well, their baby is dead.
Yes, yes, exactly.
And once a baby is a U.S. citizen, it's a rather tricky matter to deport mom or dad.
It's just, you just realize what's happening.
And it's just, it's so disconcerting.
Well, this story is unfortunately one of those black pills because President Trump, again, first day in office, 2.0, tried to pass this executive order.
And this is the kind of thing that we're trying to combat.
Pregnant Chinese women have turned a tropical paradise into a maternity ward where they're pumping out babies who automatically become citizens daily.
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, henceforth known as C.A.
A U.S. territory northeast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
It's been flooded with so called birth tourists since 2009, when then President Barack Obama introduced a visa waiver program for Chinese nationals.
China watchers estimate about 1,000 companies offer birth tourism to the Northern Mariana Islands, other U.S. overseas territories, and even the U.S. mainland, Mr. Taylor.
They claim a gobsmacking 1.5 million American babies are being raised in China by Chinese.
parents who participated in said birth tourism.
A thousand companies.
Boy, just go to show you how much demand there is.
The other thing is, I suppose these people arrange it all, they show up, they pop out the baby, and then the company that arranges it fixes up a hotel room for them and goes to all the paperwork and they get that U.S. passport and off they fly.
It's fascinating to think that non white Americans in this country or even white people who can potentially pass as an Indian or another racial minority are trying to do the so called flight from white to take advantage of minority set asides and affirmative action programs.
Where conversely, the Chinese want to still take advantage of that lucrative American citizenship, regardless of race, because they see it as a ticket into that system of looting the taxpayer, looting the treasury on their behalf, and to advance the interests of China.
Because you're talking about 1.5 million quote unquote American babies that are being raised in China.
I mean, that's significantly more than the size of Wyoming.
I think Rhode Island as well.
Probably around the same size as Vermont, New Hampshire.
I mean, goodness gracious.
Some of these people, as I understand it, are just arriving at voting age.
So they can vote for the next Democrat candidate.
You could flood into some of the very close states like Nevada or Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania or Georgia.
And yeah, you could easily, especially a place like Georgia where there's a sizable Chinese population, a Chinese diaspora.
You can have an absentee ballot as a U.S. citizen.
Now, I don't know whether or not you can just choose any place at all if you want to vote.
But if you're a citizen, even if you've never lived in the United States, maybe even if you lived only in the Mariana Islands for a few days after you were born, you still have the right to vote.
And I wonder if you could choose to say, well, you know, thank God we'll vote in Georgia.
That's a nice little swing state.
I think that's where I'll cast my vote.
What's to stop you?
I'd like to know.
Back in the early part of March 2026, three Trump cabinet secretaries, Republican lawmakers, demanded an accounting on the Chinese birth tourism.
The concern about these children born to Chinese parents do the parents have connections to the Chinese Communist Party, which is an adversarial government to the U.S., Chris Chemilinski, president of the nonprofit Immigration Accountability Project, told the Post regarding the letter.
They know there's an industry out there that makes gobs of money to specialize in birth tourism, but there is no report from the federal government telling you how many people have been born as a result of this.
Again, do the American people really want to know what's happening?
That's the really sick thing about all this, Mr. Taylor, is that there's this great Twitter account, White Papers Policy Institute, which just shows the enormous population of Mexicans, of Hondurans, of Nicaraguans in this country, and the vast amount of remittances that they send back every year.
You're talking the hundreds of millions since this century started of money that has been earned in the United States that's been shipped back to Mexico to stabilize their government and build their economy.
Well, we talk about trade deficits.
That's if we buy more products than we sell to consumers overseas.
This is not even buying a product.
This is sending the money over, and we get nothing in return.
It is pure red ink.
Yeah.
Absolutely crazy.
It's terrifying to stick with that image.
Red ink.
A good chunk of these kids will reach voting age this decade.
At age 21, they'll be eligible to petition for green cards for their parents and siblings, who can then bring along other family members to live in the U.S.
So it's not just the voting aspect, Chemilinski notes, it's the chain migration laws.
If their family could afford the prices charged for this birth tourism scheme, there's a good chance they can afford a residence in the U.S.
That raises concerns.
Most wealthy Chinese nationals tend to have connections to the government here.
Now, for our listeners who might not know what we're referring to, chain migration.
Is the legal process which allows U.S. citizens and lawful residents to sponsor relatives for green cards.
According to Migration Policy Institute data, 77% of new green card holders in 2024 came in through train migration.
That's right.
And that's entirely aside from the quotas for permanent residency.
These things, you can do nothing about it.
If you have the right to bring in your brother, then if that's over a quota or it's just not counted against a quota.
So that's how they come.
Come one, come all.
Yep.
Well, I just thought that this was a bit of a black pill to tag to the semi black pill about the Supreme Court appearing to lean in the wrong direction on this.
No, I mean, well, we have no idea what's going to happen.
You didn't watch some of the proceedings yesterday.
They were infuriating because you got to see the first black female Supreme Court Justice, Justice Jackson, again, make a fool of herself.
And I do encourage you to seek what she said about Japan.
We talked about that off before we started this podcast, what she referred to regarding a wallet and a hypothetical about stealing in Japan and how she would then be subject to the jurisdictions of Japanese laws.
But again, the fact that we're even having this battle.
At the Supreme Court level, that Trump took that enormous step to address and correct what was.
I think at the time, even if you look at what happened in the 14th Amendment and how this was passed, I think that that was a mistake then.
I'll go on record as saying that's when there should have been serious debates about fulfilling the goal of the American Colonization Society.
And simply with the emancipation of slaves all across the United States, including the rebelling states in the southern states.
That would have been a great time to reward monetarily the southern slaveholders and ship them over back to Africa, to Liberia.
Even if they weren't rewarded monetarily, just shipping them to Liberia would have been a wonderful thing, an absolutely wonderful thing.
And probably, I would guess, 95% of Americans and maybe 70% of our listeners who are better informed than Americans on average don't realize that.
If Abraham Lincoln had lived, then the prospect for remigration would not necessarily have been a sure bet, but it would have been better because all his life he was working very, very hard to, okay, free the slaves, but once they're free, get them the heck out.
I think he would have been very active at that, very active in that.
He had another four years to go practically in his term.
It would have been very interesting to see how the debates would have proceeded on that.
But that ship, as they say, has sailed.
Meanwhile, this is a bit of good news Judicial Watch, that's another good law firm, another good law firm that our listener might think about working for once he gets his degree and he can put it to work for our people.
Arthur Ashe Statue Removal 00:14:44
Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against the city of Evanston, Illinois, over its reparations program because it uses race as an eligibility requirement.
The reparations, therefore, violate the Constitution.
The program will pay you $25,000 direct to Cash.
If you are a black resident or a descendant of a black resident who lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969, the theory is all you had to do was live there or be descended from someone who lived there.
You didn't even have to live there to be a victim of redlining.
Oh boy, oh boy.
Despite the fact that redlining, as we discussed the other day in this podcast, affected more white ethnics than it did blacks, it was really just an informal agreement not to lend or suggestion not to lend in dodgy neighborhoods.
In any case, Evanston was the first U.S. city to pass a reparations plan.
It pledged $10 million over the decade to eligible black residents.
U.S. District Judge John Ness let Judicial Watch's class action lawsuit move forward.
And as a matter of fact, so far, 137 people have gotten their $25,000.
That's close to $3.5 million.
And $4 million have been allocated this year.
Now, meanwhile, not far from Evanston in Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson plans to hold a public engagement forum called Repair Chicago.
And I will quote what it's supposed to do.
Gather lived experiences of harm of black Chicagoans.
It's all part of a program for reparation.
The lived experience of black Chicagoans, Mr. Kersey.
I'm sure many of them suffer directly from slavery.
They will sure talk about it.
This is just so nutty.
They did this in California.
They had this traveling roadshow.
They'd go to one city after another and they'd hold these hearings and these solemn looking blacks would sit up at the podium, some of them resting.
We were dressed in dashikis, and they would listen to black people complain about just how awful it is to be black and how the state owes them hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And they finally decided, yep, yep, yes, these guys are right.
These guys are right.
They're having a horrible time, and the state really ought to write a check for $800,000 for every single black person living in the country, at least those descended from slaves, maybe Africans too.
What the heck?
Give them all $800,000.
That would have worked out to several times the annual budget of the state of California.
But in any case.
Mayor Brandon Johnson, who can't control the blacks in his own city, thinks he can persuade white people to splash out a whole lot of money.
Now, this is another bad news story, I'm afraid.
A federal judge has ordered the Patriot Front, that is an activist group, I think it's been around since about 2017, and its leader, Thomas Rousseau, and its members, William Ring and Jacob Brown, they are ordered to pay over $470,000.
In damages for having defaced the mural in Battery Park in Richmond.
It was done by an artist, a black artist, of course, honoring the tennis player.
Oh, I can't even think of his name.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Arthur Ashe.
Arthur Ashe, of course.
Arthur Ashe.
It was Arthur Ashe.
And apparently, this Battery Park is where he learned to play the sport and then went on to become a legend.
Something called the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights under Law filed suit, or he has filed the civil suit on behalf of the residents of Battery Park, which is majority black.
Now, it was frankly not very bright of Patriot Front to have defaced a monument.
Apparently, they had the face of Arthur Ashe and they painted him over and they put Patriot front logos and things on top of it.
Excuse me.
Not a good idea, but they did it.
Now, the question, of course, arises dear me.
Take a shot.
Well, was anyone ever sued for defacing a Confederate monument or a Columbus memorial?
I think the people that didn't, wasn't there one in like Portsmouth, Virginia that it fell on?
I think they got charged.
I think one of the black guys who was tearing apart the monument back in 2020, a part of the monument fell on him.
And I think he suffered brain damage.
But no, I mean, you and I walked Monument Avenue back in June of 2020.
We saw the graffiti.
We saw the vandalism that had transpired on the Mari statue, which is not far from where the Arthur Ashe statue still stands.
We saw the Jeb Sewer.
We saw the Jackson.
We saw the remains of the Jeff Davis monument because, regrettably, the Jeff Davis statue had been pulled down and covered in graffiti.
It was covered in graffiti, but it was gone.
It had been pulled down by rioters.
And of course, you walked up and you saw the glorious 1890 monument of Robert E. Lee, which constituted the beginning, the genesis of Monument Avenue.
And it was covered in victorious writings and graffiti.
And I'm still shocked they didn't leave that up as a reminder of.
Of what they had defeated.
But I guess the left doesn't believe in symbols the way that we do.
They just said, take it down.
We can't let it stay up.
Well, there's a number of times.
Not one person, sir, was ever held responsible for that.
You're not quite right.
You're not quite right.
We have one exception.
Okay.
Among the several hundred Confederate memorials that came down and the 30 monuments to Columbus, there's only one recorded case of actual punishment.
A certain Mike Forsia of St. Paul, Minneapolis.
And in June 2020, he helped pull down the statue of Columbus that was at the Minnesota State Capitol.
But even if they had a statue of Columbus in that super lefty state, he is part of the American Indian movement.
And he helped pull it down, and he faced a felony charge of first degree criminal damage to property, up to five years in prison, but through a plea deal and a restorative justice process.
He got 100 hours of community service focused on, guess what? Indigenous education.
So he got to go talk to little Indian children and tell them what a great time he'd had pulling down the Columbus statue.
And he did that for 100 hours, although who's counting?
And that was the only recorded punishment throughout the entire BLM madness.
Now, what happened in Portsmouth, this is slightly different from your recollection.
Maybe both things happened, but 10 people were charged with felonies.
Who are destroying the Confederate monument, but all of the charges were eventually dropped and the city paid them a total of $150,000, $15,000 each in a civil rights settlement for allegedly improper arrests.
That's right.
No, no.
And I was only answering your question about in respect to Monument Avenue and the desecration of the monuments there.
As we were talking, I was like, I think there was some case in Minnesota of all places.
But no, I just, going back and thinking to that orgy of.
Of violence and just.
Yes.
And here.
It was almost this cosmic energy that overtook the country.
And this is, yes.
And of course, we bring this up because here is not just individuals, but the group itself is ordered to pay $470,000 for defacing a painted mural, which could be repaired in no time at all.
And a lot of these people, they pulled down and destroyed monuments, got off scot free, except for this one guy.
I guess I'd like to ask a quick question.
It's not the monument.
It's a mural of Arthur Ashen in Britain.
That's right.
It's a mural.
It's just a painting.
It's not the actual monument on Monument Avenue, which was a.
No, it's a mural.
It's a painting.
It's right there on the side of the barn or some sort of, I don't know, shed or whatever it is right there in the park, in the Battery Park, where this wonderful black person actually learned how to play tennis in this black neighborhood.
And so he's got a mural of him.
And they painted over his face.
That's right.
$470,000.
So it's not what.
It is who whom.
In any case, disgusting.
Again, it was probably a crime.
I'm sure it is a crime to deface a public memorial of that kind.
And they were unwise to do it.
But this kind of double standard is absolutely revolting.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you have another remarkable story about Cincinnati.
Well, this happened while you were gone.
And it reminded me of what happened in Baltimore back in 2015 when the Orioles were forced to play an empty stadium baseball game in late April of that year because of the Freddie Gray riots.
And because the city couldn't guarantee the safety of the primarily white fans entering the stadium.
This is a story, sir, that was in the news for a day, and then it disappeared because there were so many other stories of black violence.
And at spring breaks, like in Daytona and other teen takeovers in Atlanta and outside of Richmond, Virginia, there was a mall that was shut down because of a black teen takeover.
This is happening nationwide, and this story is very much worth taking a look at because more than a dozen people were arrested.
For a policer calling disruptive and unruly behavior during opening day celebrations for the Cincinnati Reds Major League Baseball team.
For those who don't know, Major League Baseball opening day is a religious holiday for a lot of baseball fans.
It's an opportunity to take your kids out.
A lot of the time, the games are earlier in the day, so it's a great time to go to a city that otherwise they never go into.
Well, if you look at the video, sir, it's a sea of white people.
And then all of a sudden, you see these very Darkening, the exact antithesis of oasis pop up amongst the sea of whites.
And you start to see a commotion.
Well, the crowds were captured on multiple videos that were shared throughout the day.
The unruly behavior caused police to shut down portions of the banks and businesses and even entrances to bridges into Kentucky.
It also prompted statements from several city officials, including the mayor.
And they shut down, I forgot the name of the bridge, but it's one of the main bridges that goes from Cincinnati to Kentucky.
And it just.
It made me think you're shutting down the largest bridge, the commuter bridge into and out of the city because of these disturbances.
And you're just thinking to yourself, this is the United States in 2026.
That's right.
That's right.
Well, you got to have to keep a certain population out.
So, in order to do that, you have to shut down the whole bridge.
Cincinnati Police Chief Adam Hinney says 17 people, ranging in age from 14 to 50, were arrested as a result of several chaotic crowds throughout downtown Thursday.
Yesterday, our city celebrated one of our most cherished traditions opening day for the Cincinnati Reds.
We, as a department, planned extensively for this event and ensured we had appropriate staffing levels throughout the day to support public safety.
You have to wonder during some of these reconnaissance meetings and planning events.
If they discuss the probability or possibility of a black mob violent action.
Because wasn't it Cincinnati in 2025 where the white people were attacked and it brought a lot of acrimony to the city because they had that goofy white police chief who was upset that it was actually being reported on because there was that really horrifying image of a white woman just on the ground, kind of with her mouth agape.
I'm not sure if you're vulnerable.
That's right.
She was knocked down, right.
And yes, she looks like she's brain dead practically.
That's right.
Yes, they've had real problems there.
Well, yes, it would be fascinating to be right there in the command room where the police chiefs and the department heads are discussing how we're going to handle security.
Well, they daren't do any racial profiling, right?
They daren't talk about the number of blacks who might be coming from which directions.
Dare they talk about that?
It'd be very, very interesting to see.
I imagine these are fairly hard bitten guys.
They've been on the street for a while.
They know what's what.
They can call a spade a spade.
And I suspect they.
Probably talk pretty frankly about numbers of blacks.
Well, I do know.
Go ahead.
Yes?
Well, I do.
I insist you go.
I do know that when there is a rap concert or when there is a program of some kind that's going to attract a large number of blacks, the number of police that are delegated for that purpose are larger.
That is always considerably larger.
If you're going to have Puerto Rico Day parade in New York City, you just don't have the same police.
Police deployment as if you have a concert in the park by the symphony orchestra.
It's a completely different thing, and they know the difference.
Anyway, back at the start of 20, I'd started this millennium, there was actually a pretty massive black riot that lasted for six days in Cincinnati.
I cannot remember the name of the book that was published by a Cincinnati reporter.
It's quite good.
It's actually something that I think Sam Dixon and I will actually talk about when we kind of do an overview of some of the books that have detailed these just catastrophic black riots throughout the years.
And the one in Cincinnati has been completely forgotten, but it was very bad.
As usual, it had to do with a police shooting.
And this was a guy who deserved to be shot.
And it was in what's called the Over the Rhine neighborhood.
That's right.
German area.
Yes.
Or used to be German area.
Yeah.
Yes.
Now it's German Africans or African Germans live there.
Selma Jubilee Bridge Crossing 00:03:31
Anyway, well, what that story just told me reminds me of Jubilee weekend in Selma.
Yes, Selma.
It was the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
Bloody Sunday is one of the high holy holidays the civil rights movement.
Because there was a group of blacks who were ordered to disperse, and they were given 15 minutes to go and disperse, not cross the bridge, not jam up the highway.
It was this narrow highway from Selma to Montgomery.
They were going to march down it.
It was going to be a real traffic hazard, very dangerous.
They told them, no, don't do it.
And they just stood there and did nothing, so the bridge had to be cleared.
Well, this resulted in a certain amount of bloodshed, but injured policemen as well.
But this is one of the great events Bloody Sunday.
And every year, every year, you get high muckety mucks of all kinds go bogo, and they march across the bridge and they sing hymns, they hold hands.
Well, it's called the Bridge Crossing Jubilee.
It commemorates that moment, celebrates the legacy of those who fought for civil rights, and thousands of visitors travel to Selma for the event.
Commemorations.
Gatherings honoring the civil rights movement and Mayor Johnny Moss also proclaimed Jesse Jackson Day.
And this is the part I wanted to get to only eight people were shot that weekend in two separate incidents.
One happened on Saturday evening near Water Avenue, a few blocks from the main vendor area.
Two 18 year olds were injured in that one, and investigators were hoping that they were going to come up and arrest very soon.
Now, I was in Selma once.
Poking around at what a miserable dump that is.
It's supposed to be this great place where civil rights went.
The birthplace of all sorts of liberty and justice and freedom and equality.
And the time of that was six, what year was that?
You never remember.
61.
No.
65.
Yeah, it was 65.
It was before the voting night track.
Voting night track was 65.
63.
63 or 64.
I'm reading this story right now, but this might be one of those times, perhaps it's because you're a little under the weather, but this story is actually incredible because this happened during the Bridge Crossing Jubilee event.
I've not even heard this story, and I know a lot about Selva.
This is an extraordinary.
Extraordinary story because these shootings happened while all these people were supposed to be celebrating.
Oh, while they were crossing the bridge.
They were, yes, this was an event to celebrate.
They had already, I'm sure they were running about, and I'm sure there's a bunch of TikToks of people crossing the bridge pretending they're taking part in all this and celebrating their freedom.
Well, we can calculate.
It was the 61st anniversary.
So it was 1965.
Same years of the Voting Rights Act.
Yes.
No, what a miserable dump.
It was at least run and majority white.
Some was majority white and run by whites in those days.
Now it is run by blacks, overwhelmingly black.
And all of these parts that are supposed to be memorialized are not looked after.
The National Civil Rights Museum that looks like it was run by Somalis or people from Upper Volta or something.
Brazil Racism Prison Sentence 00:02:57
Just this tumble down, wrecking embarrassment.
In any case.
It's a nice thing.
I'll say this to defend.
The good people, the good white people of Alabama.
It is a nice city.
The footprint of a great city is still there.
And if you were to remove the black population of Selma within a year, that would be some of the hottest real estate in the South.
I mean that.
Well, you could say that about Harlem.
You could say that about Detroit.
And you should say it about a lot of places.
You could say it about Over the Rhine in Cincinnati.
You could say it about St. Louis.
And that's the point.
That's why we do this program.
Because if someone doesn't say it, it goes on thought.
And it's that important to just be like, hey guys, this didn't have to happen.
We don't have to tolerate this decline any further.
Well, we have kind of an amusing story from Argentina and Brazil.
I just found out about this today.
But a 29 year old lady lawyer from Argentina named Augustina Paez, she's a tourist and she's at a bar in Brazil.
And she had an argument with a bartender over what she and her two lady companions thought were excessive high prices for the drinks.
But they settled up and left.
And on the way out, She made a monkey gesture and used a racial slur, mono or monkey.
And this was recorded on video.
And of course, it went viral.
Staff member did this.
And this caused outrage in Brazil, where racism is supposed to be a criminal offense.
And so, a court in Rio de Janeiro has begun hearing evidence on the case and is expected to deliver a verdict in the coming weeks.
She faces a possible prison sentence of two to five years and hefty fines.
However, it's only After this, they became viral.
That video evidence comes out that there was a security cam footage taken from the bar in which a very dark skinned employee is shown taunting the tourists on their way out.
And he appears to be making obscene gestures.
Well, the Brazilian authorities have pressed ahead with the charges, arguing that no matter what the provocation is, that does not excuse using the word mono or monkey and making a ooh, ooh, ooh with your arms akimbo gesture.
But this has become a flashpoint between Brazil and Argentina.
And the Argentines have rallied behind Paez, portraying her as a victim of a justice system gone wild.
There are even some conservative figures who say the case is a political statement.
Allies of President Javier Millay say she's unfairly targeted, but she now faces a prison sentence of two to five years.
Argentina Justice System Flashpoint 00:04:59
So, mister Kersey, tell us about the latest Zaruski memorial controversy.
Well, sir, one of the things we both thought when the two billionaires pledged Elon Musk, and I don't recall the other guy's name, it's Aegon McCabe, Intercom CEO Aegon McCabe, when they spearheaded a plan to do a national mural campaign to put up murals of Irina Zarutska, the, of course, the Ukrainian refugee, the white woman who was murdered by a black career criminal.
I'm embarrassed to say that I remember his name, DeCarlos Brown, and Charlotte back in late.
August 2025.
Well, one of those towns that a mural went up in, sir, would be the old stomping grounds of H.P. Lovecraft himself, Providence, Rhode Island, and a LGBTQ nightclub, of all things.
The Dark Lady was allowing the edifice, the facade of that, well, place of ill repute to actually showcase.
An Alana, Irina Zarutska Monument Memorial.
Well, unfortunately, that has been put on the back burner because they announced earlier this week that management has made the decision to discontinue the mural because of pressure from the city government.
Turns out that a spokesperson for Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said the mayor thinks the mural should come down.
The murder of Zarutska was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolated, The intent of those funding murals like this across the country is divisive and does not represent Providence, the mayor said.
State Rep David Morales also said the mural, which he called a nationwide right wing propaganda, part of a nationwide right wing propaganda machine, has no place in the city.
We're watching a tragedy, Morales said.
The death of a young refugee being exploited to cause division.
The dark lady stressed that the mural.
Was never meant to be political.
The mural on our building was created for one reason remembrance, nightclub management explained in a social media post.
The narrative being created about this is wrong, and it's deeply disappointing and concerning to see a memorial misunderstood, judged, and turned into something divisive.
Uh, the artist told a local Providence station, 12 News, that he's disappointed the mural is being taken down, though he acknowledged and respects the building owner's decision.
He was also saddened to hear that Smiley, the mayor, specifically voiced his disdain for the mural.
Should point out that both Smiley and the Hispanic state rep are both Democrats.
Uh, Smiley wanted it to be taken down before it was finished speaking.
It's really a bummer to be stifled and stop like this.
Uh, Gadgerow said.
It's Ian Gadgerow, the artist.
Have you seen a picture of what the monument looks like?
It's very ethereal in its current state.
Yes, yes.
And it has an interesting, almost cubist or surreal frame around it in blue.
It's really very pretty.
And I thought I saw a photograph of this smiley guy.
He looks Middle Eastern or something.
He is half Jewish.
He's homosexual himself.
And yeah, he's.
Providence is a strange city.
It was 60% white in 2000.
I was told by a former resident who grew up there, and it is now 33% white.
It has an unbelievably large illegal infiltrator, invader, alien population.
So who knows how non white it is.
The white ethnics have been pushed out.
It's definitely no longer the wasp city of Brown.
One of the Ivy League schools is located there.
And of course, some of our listeners might be fans.
As I am of the gothic horror writer of the Cthulhu mythos, H.P. Lovecraft, who, if I remember correctly, you're not that big of a fan of.
I don't much care for him, no.
I did my best to like him because one of my great heroes and mentors, Sam Francis, was a great lover of H.P. Lovecraft.
So I did my best to like him, but no, I don't care for him.
There are lots of people's short stories I prefer better than his, but you like him, right?
I do.
I'm a fan of him, and there's an interesting.
Parallel to his stories, when you think about how he thought symbols had such power to unlock cosmic energy.
And that's why I love this story because I think the mural as it currently exists, unfinished, it's haunting because you see her eyes and her blonde hair.
Equity Cards Debate Chaos 00:07:02
And there's something just tragic about it, as if she's telling you, This is what's happening to all of us.
We're being erased.
Look at this.
They can't tell my story.
It's unlocking cosmic energy.
I hope so.
For good and bad.
Well, let's see.
There was a political conference in Canada for its new Democratic Party, NDP, and it descended into chaos after progressive activists got into heated arguments about their equity cards.
There was frustration among the delegates over these so called equity cards, which are color coded to identify that a party member was a member of a marginalized group and you had a different color that gave you different privileges depending on just how badly marginalized you were.
And the cards were doled out because equal opportunity is no good.
Discrimination, because minority groups must first overcome disadvantages that others don't have.
So, primarily, they seem to be used so you could step in line first if you could flash the Trump cards of one sort or another.
But this was billed as an opportunity for progressive Canadians to come together to debate ideas and celebrate our shared values.
Well, for example, one delegate was outraged that she was allegedly skipped.
Over in the speaker queue, despite having stood at the podium showing her gender equity card.
And a transgender woman argued that her rights are under attack and said it was frustrating that a cisgender woman, a normal, ordinary woman who knows she's a woman and likes being a woman, had been allowed to speak before she did.
And likewise, a black woman, she waived her equity card for black women, but she complained that this has no value outside this space.
I'm sure she'd love to carry one of those things around wherever she went and whip it out whenever there's a line, whenever there's a problem of some kind, wave that equity card and go to the head of the line to get discounts on whatever you want to buy.
A furious.
Do you by chance have your white privilege card still that gets you to the front of the line everywhere and the best seat in the airplane?
I never got one.
I somehow missed that.
What's in the mail, right?
Well, don't all white people get one of those stapled to their birth certificate as soon as they're born?
I was born in Japan, you see, so I never got mine.
And there was a furious Asian trans fatso who complained that a cisgender woman had been permitted to speak before she was allowed to speak despite holding her gender identity equity card.
Now, even the conference chair, we can't call he, she, or it a chairman or a chairwoman because she identifies as non binary.
Her name is Adrienne, which sounds female to me, but she snapped at a delegate who addressed her as Madam Chair.
She was furious about that.
Yes.
She appeared to be teary eyed as she snarled, I'll thank delegates not to call me Madam Chair.
I'm a non binary person.
She's a non binary chair.
Non binary.
Non binary chair.
Now, I don't know what you're supposed to say.
You can't say Mr. Chair, Madam Chair, Miss Chair.
What can you say?
Whatever you are, Chair.
What do you say?
You, it, stool?
I don't know.
Maybe a chair's too.
Too discriminatory.
I don't know.
Probably.
I don't know.
You can't address her.
You just have to say chair.
In any case, she was furious about this.
And she also urged delegates to help me by using your cards and forming a straight line behind the microphone if you wish to speak.
Apparently, these freaks can't line up in a straight line, they all get all bunched up.
And they said, and prominently display your equity card.
And she says, if I see speakers ahead of you who are not holding a card prominently, It would be wrong of me to guess about your gender identity.
Well, she's right about that.
You can't always tell.
So if you've got one of those cards, hold it high, hold it proudly.
And as I say, the conference was supposed to be a celebration of our shared values.
I guess their shared values is who can claim to be the most pathetic, the most downtrodden, the most marginalized, and therefore the most deserving.
Oh, we got one, a little bit more time here.
Not much.
But this is an interesting headline from California, and it read this way California University cancels government debate over blowback for candidates being all white.
So you see, this was USC, University of Southern California, set up this candidate debate for the people who are running for governor.
They have this jungle primary, and everybody runs the same primary.
Quite exciting.
And apparently, the Democratic candidates had been Representative Eric Swalwell and former Orange. County Representative Katie Porter, and then a billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer, and then San Jose Mayor Matt Mahon.
And then there were two Republican candidates there was a former Fox News commentator Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.
So here they had this whole interesting batch of candidates, and they'd been picked by some standard method that's used for candidates if you've got a whole bunch of them.
And it's a combination of polling data and how much fundraising they had done.
But no non whites made the cut.
And the candidates were furious, the non whites, and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Bielorragosa.
I remember when he was elected, I'm a little bit surprised that he didn't make the cut.
I guess he's not really working very hard as a candidate.
And former state controller Betty Yee, who of course is Asiatic, and then ex U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and then a state superintendent called Tony Thurmond, who is blacker than all of them, I'm sure.
But.
They screeched so furiously and for so long that the University of Southern California called off the debate just hours before it was supposed to begin.
Isn't that really something?
You can't have, even if it's done by completely objective criteria, this is disparate impact, I suppose.
Whatever selection criteria you have, if the non whites somehow don't make the cut, then you're just going to not have the debate at all.
So that'll be better for California democracy.
People won't get to hear the candidates.
But since they were all white, who wants to hear them anyway?
USC Debate Called Off 00:00:24
Well, Mr. Kersey, we are out of time as we always invariably are.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a joy, an honor, and a pleasure to spend this time with you.
And I regret to say I will not be spending this time with you the next two weeks, more than likely.
So we'll see what kind of entertainment and diversion that Mr. Kersey has up his sleeve.
It'll be entirely up to him.
But in the meantime, thank you.
Thank you very much.
