Both Daryle and Beth were there when Heather Heyer was killed and the nation took notice of white supremacy marching with torches. Our IDAVOX podcasters remember preparing for the worst and seeing it. Daryle was thrust into a spotlight as the focus of a documentary "Alt-Right Age of Rage" wich showed the lead up and the violence that day.
Plus! Brian and Christian are in the mix to talk about the FBI raid at Mar A Lago and the attack on authpr Salman Rushdie.

The crew is back. After taking a break IDAVOX the Podcast brings you a first hand account fromDaryle about the Idaho Nazi in a box truck trick, plus discussions with Christian and Brian about the Jan 6 hearings, and a music video with a cameo from DLJ himself!
Welcome to the #Idavox Report!
This week, on the Idavox Report, we are going to be hosting two of our favorite guests, Rod Webber and Lauren Pespisa. Rod and Lauren are a movie-making married duo and their latest work is about to premiere!
2020: The Dumpster Fire will be in theatres December 7. In the film, Rod travels the country and examines the civil unrest that unfolded throughout the year, specifically during the 2020 election. Rod’s new song, “Joe Biden Wrote The Patriot Act”, is featured in the movie.
2020: The Dumpster Fire
In 2020: The Dumpster Fire, Rod visits protests in Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, New York, and DC. The movie will be on Apple TV on December 15. It stars Vermin Supreme, a political figure and performance artist that Rod has known personally for years. Daryle is in the first scene of the second half of the movie, kicking off the “protest segment,” as Rod puts it. The film also continuously covers Rod’s lawsuit against Donald Trump in which he ended up winning a settlement. 2020: The Dumpster Fire was co-produced by Rod and Lauren.
Most of the major American 2020 Electoral candidates are featured in the film. Rod recalls his rule of thumb when confronting political figures: to respect those who show him respect. On the other hand, if the person he’s talking to doesn’t take him seriously, Rod gets very cheeky. If you want to know more about what that means, check out the movie.
Rod Webber and Lauren Pespisa
Rod and Lauren get into lots of trouble while working in media and in their spare time, trolling politicians with performance art and generally raising hell. Lauren is currently the target of a (so far) 10-month long secret investigation involving her role in 2020: The Dumpster Fire. Lauren and Rod are facing a grand jury tomorrow, but they were not even invited because that is apparently how secret investigations work. Rod reports that there have been at least 5 grand juries so far and their door has been knocked on numerous times by federal agents.
Although their tongues are relatively tied on the topic for legal reasons, Rod notes that this investigation is something that activists and filmmakers alike should be concerned about. He suspects that the motive for this case being brought upon his wife is his lawsuit against Donald Trump. Investigators for cases like this have been known to raid houses at gunpoint, even those with children in them. Rod apologizes again for being vague by necessity.
Help Lauren!
An influx of people have been sending in letters of support to try to keep Lauren out of jail. Many of these folks came to know Lauren through her dedicated work in mutual aid during the pandemic. You can find a petition regarding the bullshit case against Lauren here.
Daryle has seen 2020: The Dumpster Fire and he recommends it. Again, the film will be in theatres on December 7th and on Apple TV on December 15.

The #Idavox Report- Abe Lincoln: Closet Marxist? The #Idavox Report: What’s Going on in Jersey on Juneteenth? The IDAVOX Report: Minneapolis and Policing
“Now we have a literal freaking cop as mayor… I don’t even know how much worse it can get.”
The #Idavox Report Welcomes Ash J!
Looks like another worm for the Big Apple. This week, on the #Idavox Report, we’re going to be talking about New York City mayor-elect Eric Adams! Daryle Lamont Jenkins is breaking it all down with Brian Powers, Christian Perez and special guest Ash J.
Ash J. is a multimedia journalist who specializes in topics relevant to this week’s discussion. For example, Ash writes professionally about police issues, whereas Eric Adams is a former police captain. Ash regularly covers such complex issues as state violence and oppression, radical political movements, and anti-fascism in his pieces for The Santiago Times, The Appeal, Truthout, and many other outlets. Ash and Daryle are well acquainted through their mutual work in antifascist movements, having been to several protests and activist events together.
New York City Mayor Elect Eric Adams
In the most recent election, blue states suffered a lot of losses across the country. However, in New York City, Democrat Eric Adams won. But for someone who identifies as a Democrat, is Adams even actually on the left at all? Adams served as police captain for years before his campaign. He masqueraded, then and now, as a man trying to improve the police system from the inside. Adams capitalized on the #DefundThePolice movement, embracing the narrative that people of color are violent and require police to control them.
The Real Eric Adams
The true identity of Eric Adams is an ex-cop opportunist who seeks out what he can do to advance himself at the moment. He is a landlord who leeches money from tenants. He takes money from big-name donors. Yet he is consistently heralded as a hero in the media. Daryle points out that he is unsurprised that the New York Post is portraying Adams positively, adding the article to a 30-year-old pile of New York Post BS. Adams has also been endorsed by what Ash J calls the “most corrupt scumbags in New York City politics.”
Adams belongs to the Manhattan Institute, which is the organization that is pushing the anti-CRT movement and open windows policing. Eric Adams is a supporter of stop-and-frisk. He claims that he simply wants to reform the policy, not abolish it. Daryle predicts that someone will be murdered by a cop in New York City under Adams’ mayorship, and he will act like he had done everything he could to prevent it.
American Misjustice System
The panel’s conversation shifts to a discussion of the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Daryle doubts that this killer will be found guilty of significant charges. Daryle was in fact surprised when Derek Chauvin was found guilty earlier this year. Brian notes that Kyle Rittenhouse has no shot at a normal life whether he is found innocent or guilty. Christian asserts that things would be much different in this trial if the defendant wasn’t white.

Modernity And Absurdity Episode 1: Introduction Racetraitor: Extreme Metal With an Anti-Racist Message The IDAVOX Report : Rudy Giuliani’s Racist Legacy
Racists beware!
This week, on the Idavox Report, we are going to be talking about The Baldies. The Baldies are an antiracist skinhead group out of Minneapolis that formed in the 1980s. They created today’s Anti Racist Action Network (ARA) as well as laying the groundwork for the modern North American antifascist movement. Last Monday, the documentary The Baldies premiered on PBS. The documentary tells the story of a brave group of skinheads that started as a street team and grew into a powerful antiracist and antifascist network.
Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Brian Powers, and Christian Perez are all here tonight, talking to a special guest who was a main player in the documentary. Our guest tonight is a Baldie named Portland Tom. Tom has been in the streets for longer than Daryle has, beginning his involvement in the antifascist scene in the late 1980s.
The Baldies
Although the Baldies are based out of Minneapolis, they have a chapter in Portland. Tom was one of the first members of this chapter. Tom remembers Nazis growing on trees in his community and wanting to extinguish this hate directly.
Although the Baldies did important work fighting Nazis, not everyone appreciated them as they should. A majority of the general public misunderstood the Baldies, regarding them with fear. The police saw the Baldies as a gang, equating them to Nazis because of their use of violence. Tom remembers the police being confrontational and contentious towards him for as long as he can remember being a Baldie.
The Baldie Scene
Tom describes enjoying a vibrant music scene during his young adult life in Oregon. He and other Baldies used to show up to punk concerts and fight any Nazis they could find until the concert was a slime-free zone. The Portland Baldies were known to go out and look for Nazis and fascists to bust. They would show up at so called “white power music shows” and break everything up. Baldies doxxed the members of hate groups so hard that they had trouble getting jobs or even apartments. Eventually, directly due to The Baldies’ resistance, a good handful of Portland’s white supremacy groups fell apart.
Tom was drawn into the skinhead scene because of the brotherhood aspect. He also really hates Nazis, but he describes this as a “no-brainer.” For Tom, defending the local community against hate was a moral imperative.
The Baldies Documentary
Tom reports positive reception for the documentary. So far he has heard from one school that it is going to be played in the classroom. The only complaint that he’s gotten from people was that the documentary could have been much longer, perhaps even adapted into a miniseries.
There’s a lot to be learned from this documentary. There aren’t many documentaries about antiracist skinheads. Did you miss it? Although The Baldies premiered on PBS on Monday, October 18, 2021, you can still find it on the PBS website here.

The #Idavox Report: The Adventures of Daryle Lamont Jenkins The Idavox Report March 16, 2021: Nneka Howell & The Color of Play The Idavox Report: An Interview With Serbian Antifascist Tanja Vasic
Welcome to the Idavox Report!
The show opens with a panel of four activists: Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Christian Perez, and Margaret Kimberley. Kimberley is this week’s #Idavox Report special guest. She is also the Executive Editor and Senior Columnist at Black Agenda Report. Her Freedom Rider column appears weekly in BAR, and is republished widely elsewhere. She is the author of Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents. She is involved in several activist organizations.
The Black Agenda Report
The Black Agenda Report is a one-of-a-kind internet-based news source that is committed to providing news and analysis from a black left perspective. It was founded 15 years ago by Bruce Dixon, Glen Ford, and Margaret Kimberley herself.
We begin by discussing Glen Ford, who lost his life to cancer earlier this year. Ford was a great writer and activist who was dedicated to the struggles of Black people around the world. He was a socialist who was heavily involved in his activism, being involved in a handful of leftist organizations. Daryle got to know Ford while working with the People’s Organization for Progress. It was Ford who encouraged Margaret as she entered the world of journalism.
Lies In The Media
Margaret recalls Al Gore’s run for Presidency and describes how this event is a large part of what radicalized her. The blatantly stolen election made her realize that there were a lot of things in the world that didn’t add up. History books and the news don’t give an accurate picture of global events, but people just go along with them anyway.
Mainstream media outlets are now corporate, capitalist monopolies. In the past, Twitter and Facebook have censored true stories from the public’s sight so that they could not be posted on their platforms. Margaret believes that these mainstream outlets should be regulated for utility. In contrast to media moguls, the internet serves as a decentralization of information. The Black Agenda Report uses the internet as a means to further activism by spreading legitimate information.
Renowned activist Daryle Lamont Jenkins hosts the #Idavox Report every Tuesday at 8PM EST along with Brian Powers and Christian Perez.

The Idavox Report February 9, 2021: From Portland to My Pillow
Welcome to the #Idavox Report!
Welcome to the #Idavox Report, hosted by Daryle Lamont Jenkins every Tuesday at 8PM EST. He is joined tonight as usual by Brian Powers and Christian Perez. The panel begins by discussing music for a while and anticipating a future show with artist Not4Prophet. Daryle also wants to try to get some of the contributors of 40 Ways to Fight Fascists onto the show soon.
40 Ways to Fight Fascists is a pamphlet written by Spencer Sunshine that talks about practical ways to deal with fascism one might encounter in the streets. If you ordered merch from the One People’s Project website within the past year or so, you received a free copy along with your order. Daryle and his organizations are committed to spreading information to fight hatred in everyday life.
The Adventures of DLJ
On last week’s show, Daryle discussed the Justice for J6 “rally.” A few days later, there were local events going on across the country in favor of the insurrectionists. They were generally poorly attended. Over the weekend, Daryle went to Trenton to oppose their local J6 rally. There were apparently around 15 protestors in attendance.
At the event, Daryle confidently called out the presence of Proud Boys on a poster that was accompanying a speech being made: “let’s talk about embarrassing.” The encounter develops into an argument, and Daryle ends up defending the fact that he is wearing a mask.

Modernity And Absurdity Episode 1: Introduction
The #Idavox Report Is Back With An Update On "Justice For J6!"
Renowned activist Daryle Lamont Jenkins returns, joined by Brian Powers and Christian Perez, after a summer hiatus. These three revolutionaries are ready to fight the conspiracy theories, listen to some good music, and smash the fash! This week, Daryle is going to be filling us in on what he observed at the Justice for J6 rally in our nation's capital.
Daryle tells us that the event was supposed to be a Free The Insurrectionist rally. For the past few months, a pack of goons has been traveling to major cities, such as New York City and D.C, trying to call for the release of those arrested on January 6th in our nation’s capital. In the end, the rally was far less well attended than the organizers had hoped. Originally, they had estimated about 700 attendees. Daryle reports that he believes he saw more cameramen than he did actual protesters.
Jared Taylor and The AMREN Conference Need To Be Stopped
At the “rally,” Daryle unexpectedly ran into some rather despicable company. He cues up a video in which he confronts Jared Taylor, white supremacist and author of the American Rennaissance Newsletter. Taylor holds a conference every year in Tennessee where neo fascists, especially young ones, get the opportunity to network and collude. In the video, Jared Taylor evades and denies questions posed by a playfully confident Daryle.
We are calling on everyone to do what you can to oppose the American Renaissance. Visit this link on the Idavox website to find out what you can do to help stop this year’s AMREN conference.

Modernity And Absurdity Episode 1: Introduction @RevRadNat Special Reports: Gutless, Republicans Acquit Trump Exploring Jimmy Dore’s Boogaloo Bullshit – with Special Guests Rod Webber and Lauren Pespisa
Welcome to the #Idavox Report!
Welcome again to the #Idavox Report! Daryle Lamont Jenkins begins by acknowledging the 10th anniversary of the Oslo shooting, wherein an anti-Muslim scumbag took many lives. Daryle extends sympathy and compassion to the families of the victims, who have now been missing loved ones for 10 years.
Rod Webber and Lauren Pespisa join us tonight to discuss a recent incident that occurred in New York City. Rod Webber recently gained fame when he got arrested at the Hunter Biden art gallery. He was there in protest, but his protest was not targeting Hunter Biden. In fact, Lauren notes that she and Rod would probably be willing to hang out with him.
Daddy War Crimes
When it comes to Bidens, Rod’s problem is not with Hunter, but with Joe. Rod points out that Joe Biden has had a long history of working with segregationists and klansmen, bombing Middle Eastern countries, and generally furthering the military-industrial complex. He has insidiously hampered journalism by acts of corruption such as keeping journalist Julian Assange in jail. He is deeply corrupt and that corruption is spreading through the world more than ever now that he is president.
Brian cues up a video in which the event from early July at the Hunter Biden art gallery is documented. Rod was assaulted and held down forcefully after having spray-painted the word “DADDY” (originally intended to say “DADDY WAR CRIMES”) on the wall of the gallery. The word was written in erasable hairspray, might we add.
Rod’s Struggle
Rod continues to be restrained, and a few scuffles break out. He cleverly mocks his assailant and calls out Joe Biden in creative ways for approximately nearly 15 golden minutes (the actual live stream lasted an hour and a half) until the police arrive. His assailant tackles him down and then prevents him from accessing emergency medical personnel when they arrive.
Rod is being charged with graffiti, assault, criminal mischief, and one other similar charge. The first two charges are bullshit, absolutely not true, and hopefully won’t stick (like the hairspray!) If one watches the video, one can clearly see that the assault did not come from Rod, but rather from the man restraining him.
Unsurprisingly, news outlets on both the left and right are covering the incident in very unfair ways. Rod is being widely labeled in headlines as a conspiracy theorist and emphasis is being put on his purported crimes instead of on his message. Independent media, such as Revolution Radio, continues to be more trustworthy than mainstream news sources. When it comes to grassroots activism, independent media is crucial to getting the word out.

The Idavox Report: A call to fight white supremacy after the Inauguration
Why is Daryle in Facebook Jail?
The Patriot Front is a hate group that is based upon ideologies of neofascism, white supremacy, and white nationalism. They recently made news for vandalizing the George Floyd statues and memorial in Brooklyn and Newark. The Patriot Front has recently staged events in this part of the country and have been met with resistance from ANTIFA. The man who founded Patriot Front was recently arrested in Texas. Daryle advises us to be on the lookout for this dangerous group, as it is currently rising in popularity. He spoke out against the Patriot Front on Facebook recently and was consequently banned from posting for 24 hours.
The #Idavox Report Welcomes Gwendolyn Albert!
Long-time human rights activist Gwendolyn Albert joins us from Czech Republic tonight to talk to Daryle Lamont Jenkins and Christian Perez about the systemic oppression experienced by Romani(Roma) people around the world. Gwendolyn is originally from California but has been living in the Czech Republic on and off for 30 years. During this time, she has witnessed as a resident the events that began the transition to democracy in the country, including the fall of the Berlin Wall. She has also witnessed firsthand repeated dehumanization of Romani people.
Content Warning: Violence, Death
The panel begins by taking a look at horrifying video footage from the Czech Republic of a police violence incident where a police officer is assaulting a Romani man. The incident is undeniably reminiscent of George Floyd’s murder. The video is deeply disturbing, depicting a man in obvious suffering, wailing as he is being crushed by a police officer. The officer was crushing him with a knee to the neck long after he stopped resisting. The man’s name was Stanislav Tomáš.
Gwendolyn shares that she is disheartened that such an incident took place even after the world reacted as it did to the George Floyd incident. There were so many parallels between this case and the George Floyd incident, such as the media latching onto the idea that Tomáš may have been on drugs as fact.
Discrimination Against Romani People
The segregation faced by the Romani people in the Czech Republic is profound. They make up only 2-3% of the general population, yet they face a disproportionately high amount of hate and a severe lack of representation in both media and government. Romani people have been emigrating from the Czech Republic to countries like Ireland and Great Britain where they know that they will be treated better.
What will it take for Roma people to be treated with humanity and dignity? A good first step to begin remedying this situation is awareness. In America, we need to pay attention to the struggles of people in other countries, just as they do for us. To start, for example, more people should follow Romani media sources such as http://www.romea.cz/en, which chronicles important aspects of Romani life, struggles, and activism. The Roma people are in need of solidarity. We need to start forming an international coalition against hate. We have to step up here and now and show these oppressors that hate has consequences.

The #Idavox Report: What’s Going on in Jersey on Juneteenth? @RevRadNat Special Reports: The American Political Cult
Welcome to the #Idavox Report on The Revolution Radio Network!
Welcome to the #Idavox Report! This week, we will be celebrating the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth. June 19, also called Juneteenth, is the day in 1865 that it became illegal to own slaves in America. The caveat to this is that it is still sanctioned to use people as slave labor within the prison system. Human trafficking also still exists, although it is illegal.
Juneteenth
Despite its great significance, Juneteenth did not become a well-known holiday until quite recently. Part of the reason for this is a lack of Critical Race Theory in public school curriculum. We got news today that the Senate has unanimously voted to make Juneteenth an official American holiday. The House has to vote on it next, and then President Joe Biden will have to sign it. We hope to be celebrating Juneteenth as an official holiday at this time next year.
This is our last show before our in-person live event at The Coffee House in Edison, New Jersey! Check out the Facebook event page to get involved! Don’t miss it—it’s going to be great.
Right-Wing Bullshit Check-In
There is a market for grifting within the far right. This market accelerated under Trump’s presidency. People know that they can generate massive income through disingenuous fundraisers. Candidates frequently collect contributions without spending them on official campaign business. Political parties have even been known to create organizations for the sole or primary purpose of collecting donations.
Scott Presler is a gay conservative pro-Trump activist who has been hosting a series of anti-Muslim rallies across the country. Daryle attended one of these meetups which was held in New York and reports that a whole slew of villainous alt-right groups were in attendance. Scott Presler is not here to help. He’s here to hinder. He has been known to enter neighborhoods to do cleanups. However, he doesn’t talk to the communities to assess needs before he comes in and does as he will.
The Right In New Jersey
Darius Mayfield is an associate of Scott Presler who is trying to run for Congress right now as a Trump Republican. He was doing Presler’s bidding at a church in Newark, New Jersey and he brought QAnon dirtbags along with him. The panel predicts that Mayfield has no shot in the election because of how New Jersey’s elections are generally predetermined.
Before we depart for tonight, we want to bring it back to Juneteenth. Even though it’s a wonderful holiday, people still need to be careful. This year, in New Jersey, there is supposedly going to be a white power show on Juneteenth. The location of this event has been rumored to be at a roadhouse in Asbury, however, it is extremely difficult to verify this information.
If you appreciated our discussion tonight, please consider donating if possible. Christian does it at least once a month! When you contribute, it accelerates the growth of New Jersey Revolution Radio. We want to be able to afford what we need to bring you the best content possible. Thank you so much for making it happen! Until next week at 8PM EST, stay safe, everyone! Remember that a stream of #NJRR Live can now be found on the homepage of the NJRR website.
Be safe and stay informed, this weekend and always.

@RevRadNat Special Reports: Marching Orders. Mobilizing to defend 30 homes.
Welcome to The #Idavox Report on Revolution Radio!
Tonight, we open up our panel with Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Brian Powers, Christian Perez, and Will York. Will, an attorney from Tennessee, is our guest tonight. He has been involved with the fight against the American Renaissance Conference for nearly a decade. He’s here on #NJRR Live to give us some information about what we are up against.
Remembering Tragedy
Before we begin our show tonight, we take a moment to remember that it is the 1 year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Countless Black lives have been lost to police violence In this country’s history. Meanwhile, the guilty officers almost always avoid facing serious legal consequences. Only around 1%, and never more than 2%, of officers who commit murder are arrested and convicted.
Daryle remembers people such as Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin, whose deaths at the hands of cops made significant news. However, recalls Daryle, there was something different about the George Floyd case. There was clear video evidence. No one could deny the disgusting cruelty they saw on the tape of George Floyd being trampled and suffocated for 9 minutes.
The Start of Change
Will points out that the George Floyd case represents the beginning of an institutionalization of change. For example, fellow police officers actually testified against the murderous George Floyd at trial. This kind of honesty and accountability among police has rarely if ever been seen before in modern America. Christian adds that the murder of George Floyd helped people become aware of the political system and the fact that protesting gets things done.
There is a prevailing myth that the struggle for Civil Rights ended in the 1960s. In truth, Black Americans are still fighting to be seen as equal in America to this day. There are those who would hide that truth in order to make sure Black people stay oppressed. That is the reason we are here today: to make sure the word gets out that oppressed people are indeed still struggling.
American Renaissance Conference
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the American Renaissance (also called the New Century) Foundation “is a self-styled think tank that promotes pseudo-scientific studies and research that purport to show the inferiority of blacks to whites [...] [Their media] regularly feature[s] proponents of eugenics and blatant anti-black racists. The foundation also sponsors American Renaissance conferences every other year where racist ‘intellectuals’ rub shoulders with Klansmen, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists.”
This year, the conference is going to be held in November. Both Daryle and Will have been fighting for years against the existence of the American Renaissance conference. As it stands, Tennessee lawmakers are insisting that local park ordinances take precedence over federal laws about limiting hate speech or gatherings. Tennessee lawmakers as well as American Renaissance staff maintain that they should be legally allowed to host this event. They construct this argument through a perversion of our 1st Amendment rights to freedom of religion, speech, press, and assembly.
A Legal Beacon of Hate
The event has been booked to take place at Montgomery Bell State Park. It has also been held here in the past. For the event, the indoor facilities have also been reserved, or to be more accurate, monopolized: no outsiders are allowed to enter the parts of the park being used by the American Renaissance. A few years ago, a woman was arrested for urinating in the park woods. She only did this because she had a medical complication and was
Welcome Back to the Idavox Report!
Welcome to the Idavox Report! We took a week off, but we are back at you live on the Revolution Radio Network! Daryle is feeling significantly less under the weather this week; his allergies have cleared up. On the night that this podcast aired, Daryle is set to do a media appearance at 10:00PM EST on the FOX Soul Channel on Youtube. FOX Soul is a Black news show on the FOX Network featuring many types of programs, including entertainment and even some political content.
Solidarity with Palestine
Before we address tonight’s main topic, Daryle wants to address in short what is happening in the Middle East. Israel is committing atrocities against Palestine and its people including land theft and genocide. Genocide is absolutely reprehensible in any context. There is no excuse for the acts of war being committed against Palestine by Israel.
Although the people of Israel have no doubt experienced hardship, they are still in the wrong to attack Palestine. Meanwhile, the United States funds Israel with money we could have been using for expanded social programs that improve and save lives. Brian will be exploring this topic further in tomorrow’s episode of #NJRR Live.
Turning the Tide
Meanwhile, in America, Republicans are afraid. They’re in survival mode. Their main voters are white people. If you look at Pew Research polls, you will find that white people tend to vote at proportionately less rates compared to minorities than they did twenty years ago. Conservatives see that the tide of the country is turning. In 2008, when we Inaugurated the first Black President into office, America’s growth as a tolerant nation became truly evident. When Republicans lost Georgia last year, they scrambled pathetically to reclaim the state.
Electoral Politics
If society truly is to be improved politically, one of the most significant hurdles that will need to be overcome involves electoral politics. We live in an intentionally designed bourgeois republic. You have to have money if you want to run for office in a practical manner. This is part of the reason we see a preponderance of celebrities in office.
Being an elite gives one a predisposed advantage in electoral politics. American’s electoral system is intentionally designed to be exclusive. Brian comments that, if you’re looking to create true societal change, it is more effective and accessible in most cases to do things at the grassroots. A food donation almost guarantees that some family will get that food on their table. On the other hand, it is possible to squander years of one's life and thousands if not millions of dollars in electoral politics.
[The #Idavox Report May 11, 2021 with Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Brian Powers, and Christian Perez]
Abraham Lincoln and Karl Marx
Tonight’s topic is one that Daryle predicts might blow a lot of minds: he believes Lincoln may have been a Marxist. Daryle wanted to have this discussion tonight partially because of the rumors that Democrats started the KKK. In truth, certain prominent Democrats have historically been at the other end of the political spectrum!
A couple of years ago, Daryle found out that Abraham Lincoln and Karl Marx were in some sort of contact. Some say they exchanged letters, some say they were pen-pals, some say a single letter was written to Lincoln by Marx. Marx was interested in the plight of slaves in America.
Lincoln and Labor
In Lincoln’s 1861 State of the Union Address, he stated, “Now there is no such relation between capital and labor as assumed, nor is there any such thing as a free man being fixed for life in the condition of a hired laborer. Both these assumptions are false, and all inferences from t
Tonight’s Dinner Is Roasted Pig
Hello and welcome to tonight’s Idavox Report on the Revolution Radio Network. Daryle is in a good mood today. For others, that is partially because it is 4/20. To those of us who celebrate, happy holidays! But for all of us, it is mostly because it was announced just hours ago that the man who killed George Floyd has been found guilty on all three counts.
Daryle reminds us that, as he retweeted earlier today, this is not the end of something, but the start of something. This isn’t over. People were killed as we were waiting for this trial to take place and for police murder to be condemned. The guilty verdict is a good sign, but the fight isn’t over. The killer is only the eighth police officer to be convicted of murder since 2005. The last time a police officer was convicted in Minneapolis, it was a black officer for shooting a white woman.
Mixed Reactions to A Black And White Issue
People on the right are reacting just as you might think they would. FOX News anchor Greg Gutfield commented that he is glad that Chavin was found guilty, even if he wasn’t guilty. This is because Gutfield’s neighborhood was being looted. Gutfield’s response is horrifically insensitive because, among other reasons, he is centering himself in an issue that he was never a part of.
Speaking of insensitive reactions, the panel takes a look at what Nancy Pelosi tweeted in reaction to the trial’s result. Her tweet ridiculously, asserted that Floyd’s death was a sacrifice. She actually used the word sacrifice. This is beyond offensive for a host of reasons, not the least of which is that George Floyd did not choose his tragic, brutal, and unjust death.
https://youtu.be/I4bk6O4l4FY
[Greg Gutfield making insensitive comments on FOX News]
Continued Fight
Meanwhile, the GOP attempted to censure Representative Maxine Waters, a Democrat from California, because of remarks she made about protests relative to the trial. Waters preached that we need to persist in confronting the injustice in our system. Certain Republicans have ridiculously suggested that this was an act of insurrection.
https://youtu.be/Wk4m7r0tQ5Y [Maxine Waters on protesting and the Derek Chauvin trial]
The fight is not over. People are still dying in the streets and being murdered by police officers in their own homes. Black kids are being harassed by police for riding bikes in their own neighborhoods. We need political solutions in order to advance as a society that does not operate on violence. Additionally, our culture has to change. After all, social change is a facilitator of political change.
Political Change
The hearts and minds of the American people need to be opened. The lens through which we see others needs to be altered. The fabric of who we are as a nation has to completely change. It isn’t easy to get rid of that kind of hate. It takes a really long time.
As long as the police think they can get away with it, they will do it. Whether or not this verdict changes things significantly, us activists will keep reinforcing the message that police cannot get away with violence.
There are solutions that are afoot. We just have to ask people to commit to those solutions. There are a lot of things that we fight for that are easy fixes. The only reason they haven't been fixed yet is because the wrong people are in power. We have to show people that this is the case; convince them that a better world is possible and worth fighting for.
Police Can Quit Their Jobs
Daryle has been organizing for 30 years. He has witnessed countless police killings since then. Daryle used to serve in the air force. When he was in the air force, he was a cop. He was a self-described crappy cop, and he got kicked out, but he was indeed a cop. While he was working, he had a racist roommate and a co-worker who ended up raping a peer.
Welcome to the #Idavox Report!
It is Tuesday night, and we are honored to have you join us for another episode of the #Idavox Report! Tonight’s panel consists of Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Brian Powers, and Christian Perez. We begin, as we often do, by taking a look at some current events in the world of activism. Derek Chauvin is finally being held at trial following months of grassroots activism and protests sparked by his murder of George Floyd. Despite a somewhat promising trial with a solid prosecution, Daryle believes it could go either way. “Police don’t get in trouble, so anything is possible,” he says. We have to keep fighting to ensure that there will be further police accountability.
Daryle explains the root of the problem is those that use bad cops to go after minority communities. America has a right wing problem. The right has always demonized people of color. Daryle remembers back to 1994 in Keansburg, NJ, when he picked up his first arrest. He was trying to use a phone booth in a deli one night in a redneck neighborhood when the police were called on him. He was accused of"chasing a white woman" through the neighborhood. The charges were eventually dismissed because no white women stepped forward as victims. Daryle wrote his very first column about this incident.
The Early Giuliani Disasters
1994, apparently a bad year for racism, is also when Rudolph Giuliani took office as the 107th Mayor of New York City. Thus began an era of accelerated racism and corrupt policy in the city and in the country at large. Giuliani’s tactics as mayor were always all about courting bigots. The ali-right found a home in his work in New York City politics.
Before his mayorship, Giuliani had been serving as Associate Deputy Attorney General, appointed by Ronald Reagan. During this time, he went after a mafia group as well as opening cases against several high-profile individuals such as stock traders. The practice known as perp walking can be mainly attributed to Giuliani. According to Wikipedia, “The practice rose in popularity in the 1980s under U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani, when white-collar criminals were perp-walked.”
Courting Bigots
Before becoming Mayor, Giuliani had a failed run in 1989. He lost to David Dinkins, who went on to become the first Black Mayor of New York City. This loss launched a four-year smear campaign against Dinkins. This campaign was aided by talk radio, The New York Post, the Daily News, plus other far right and even mainstream media/opinion leaders who were able to create immense sway in public opinion. Giuliani spent these four years courting very bigot in New York City for another shot at the mayorship.
David Dinkins actually brought down crime rates during his time as mayor, but Giuliani has historically either minimized that fact or taken credit for it. Every time Dinkins said something, the local media went to Giuliani just to hear him claim that he’d have handled it differently were he mayor instead.
Problems with the NYPD
The NYPD have always had immense power. When Daryle wrote an article in 2000, he wrote that over 100 people had been killed by police in New York City. When David Dinkins made moves to have the police monitored and reviewed by an external board, he was heavily criticized as being too soft on crime. Thus, the police have continued to be in charge of reviewing themselves and the stage was set for Giuliani’s narrow victory in 1994.
What Giuliani actually did as mayor was make things worse. During his first four years in office, he instituted a number of bold changes under the guise of combating the drug problem. The initiatives ranged from no public drinking of alcohol to no loitering to bike riding on the sidewalk to roundups of Washington Heights youth who fit a “gang profile”.
Police Mindsets
This particular initiative meant that any group of 3 or more kids who
Welcome to the #Idavox Report!
Hello, and welcome, everyone, to the Idavox Report on the Revolution Radio Network! We are coming back at you after a week of break from our productions. We hope that you in the audience had a nice week. Before we bring on our guest tonight, Daryle takes a moment to reflect on the trial of Derek Chauvin. Daryle is optimistic, commenting that he has never before seen a police chief testify against one of his own officers, and this testimony will surely have a lot of weight. That fact gives him some hope that Chauvin may be convicted of serious charges.
We here at Revolution Radio as well as several audience members will be furious if Derek Chauvin is convicted of anything less than murder. However, we have yet to hear what the defense has to argue. Even if this murderous fiend is brought to justice, we must ask ourselves: at what cost? Millions of people stormed the streets for months in direct response to this incident. Must we continue storming the streets to try to prevent another such incident from occurring? Daryle says yes.
Problems With Police
There is a problem with the way police are trained. For example, law enforcement trainer Dave Grossman invented the term Killology and created a training based on it. This word and related teachings concern the psychology of taking a life, specifically, removing oneself from the psychological effects of murder. The officer who killed Philando Castile has partaken in this training. Fortunately, backlash after George Floyd’s murder resulted in Dave Grossman’s books being banned from police training. His rhetoric is also discouraged among police forces.
Additionally, there is a problem with how society views police violence. A plethora of things could be said about this, but Daryle focuses tonight on cop shows. If you watch cop shows today, they all seem to have an episode where the main character shoots an unarmed civilian because they thought they were armed. Typically, there is an exaggerated response from an uppity Black pastor character who is essentially a racist trope. Pro-cop and anti-minority propaganda is deeply entrenched in society.
Antifa Unite
Daryle reminds us that since fascists are organizing globally, antifascists must also organize globally. North America is desperately in need of such an alliance. The first step is to network with antifascists around the globe. The last time we had the show, Daryle discussed several global antifascist seminars that he attended.
The Idavox Report Welcomes Tanja Vasic
Our guest tonight is someone that Daryle met in one of the seminars. Her name is Tanja Vasic, she lives in Serbia, and she represents the Minority Initiative. She has an M.A. in Psychology and she is concerned with how the Roma people are being treated in her country. The Roma are an Indo-Aryan people, traditionally nomadic and living mostly in Europe. They have existed in Serbia for 500-600 years.
Tanja is a member of the Minority Initiative. The organization aims to become a political party in Serbia that represents minorities. There are many minorities living in Serbia but one of the most targeted are the Roma people, also called Romani or gypsies.
Racism against Roma is also called anti-gypsyism. The Roma people face it every day. Racism against Roma is very prevalent and is increasing all the time. If you watch the news in Serbia, you will see that attacks and violence are frequent.
Did you miss us while we were gone? Help make sure we stay around! We don’t take corporate money, so your contributions are the backbone of this network.
Serbian Government
For the past 12 years, there have been no Roma representatives in Serbia’s government. In recent years, the Roma people have become politically distanced. They are not receiving opportunities to speak on what they stand f
Welcome to The #Idavox Report!
It is Tuesday night at 8:00 PM EST, and that means that it is time for the Idavox Report on the Revolution Radio network! Our show tonight opens with Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Christian Perez, and Brian Powers. Daryle, our host, would like to wish Queen Latifah a happy birthday. Daryle reminisces about days when he would buy hip-hop albums without even knowing anything about them beforehand.
As Black music evolves, conservatives always find something to be mad about. Right now, they’re trying to cancel Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion for their performance at the Grammys. Christian comments that this country’s culture would be lame were it not for Black people’s contributions: He cites rock n’ roll, jazz, and the blues.
Author Nneka J. Howell
Black people’s contributions to the arts are fundamental to American culture. On that note, we bring in tonight’s guest, author Nneka J. Howell! Nneka’s feature publication is The Color Of Play, a children’s book set to be released on March 31. Daryle reviewed The Color Of Play on Idavox and called it unique among children’s books.
When it comes to childrens’ books, things are usually sanitized for the kids to take in. Although it is a children’s book, The Color Of Play does not shy away from tough questions. It advocates for diversity, adversity, and friendship. When Nneka wrote the book, she had the goal of highlighting the struggles that Black children go through in the real world every day. These issues are often silenced but Nneka used her creativity to bring them to light.
A Book We Can All Learn From
The story’s main conflict involves children not being able to play together in the same way. Ultimately, their parents have to help the children understand racism and differences between cultures. Nneka believes that love and hate are taught in the home so she wrote a book that children can learn from. She hopes that this will help those children grow up to be more tolerant adults.
The Color of Play is Nneka’s debut children's book and her fourth published book. It is the first in a planned children’s picture book quartet, a series titled Color Me Human. She plans to write various diverse characters into her books. For example, in The Color Of Play, the main character is adopted and lives with a biracial family. Nneka did not want to adhere to the norm in her book because we need to get comfortable getting uncomfortable. If we don’t, we will never be able to live together effectively.
The conflict in The Color Of Play stems from Nneka’s personal struggles. For example, Nneka is troubled that her two young children can’t do certain innocent play activities in public without being frowned upon. She also has several Caucasian friends who are overly focused on “woke” culture.
Questions That Need To Be Asked
Christian asks Nneka about when specifically she realized that she should write a children’s book. Nneka remembers that she was fueled by the energy of the protests in response to police brutality in 2020. She felt that there was no better thing to write about than the experiences that those close to her live with. Through her work, Nneka was and is hoping to provoke healthy conversations in various settings across the country.
Nneka is aware that The Color Of Play is the type of book that might have children asking questions. She urges parents to encourage those questions: “We as adults should not be afraid to talk to our children about these topics that are rough to talk about.” The only way to create change is to discu
Welcome to Another Idavox Report on Revolution Radio!
Hello and welcome to the Idavox Report on Revolution Radio. The Idavox Report is brought to you by the One People’s Project. Daryle Lamont-Jenkins will be our host of the show tonight, as he is for each episode of the Idavox Report. Daryle is a long-time comrade, activist, journalist, and award-winning producer who has been working for 30 years to weed out and identify white supremacists. Some call him the original doxxer.
We begin this week’s show by addressing the unfortunate fact that it has been decided that no Rochester police officers will be legally charged for the murder of Daniel Prude. Daniel died a cruel death at the hands of police officers last March. He was experiencing a psychotic episode when officers covered his head in a mesh bag pinned him to the ground until he lost consciousness.
DefundThePolice
As Daryle points out, we say defund the police for a reason. Social workers would be better equipped to handle so many of the incidents that police currently take on. Even still, we see police forces mocking social workers on social media. The fact is that many social workers deal with mentally ill and even violent people on a day to day basis. Daryle’s father was one of those workers.
We keep seeing mentally ill people die at the hands of police and nothing is changing. In order to see change, not only do we need to defund the police, we need to fund and supply social workers. Social workers are wonderful and diligent people but they need the right tools in order to be able to do their jobs in crisis. The right tools for situations involving mentally ill individuals are not guns.
Please donate to independent media if you are able! We want to be able to keep bringing you these reports and giving you the information you need.
Extremism in Power
Merrick Garland has been nominated for attorney general, but there has been backlash among the right wing about some of his recent remarks. Garland came out and said he would crack down on right-wing extremism if he was voted in. As an audience member points out, the reason that right-wing government officials would be upset about this is because they are some of the very extremists threatening our nation.
We saw this last month: on January 6th, the rioters had too easy a time infiltrating the Capitol. Police assisted in removing barricades. A senator even waved his supporters on as they attempted a violent coup. One of the individuals who was arrested after the fact was a former cop who lived near Daryle. We are seeing that dangerous extremism permeates much of the American right wing.
Beth Foster
We are honored to welcome Beth Foster to the show. She has been working with Daryle for nearly a decade to combat the American Renaissance Conference, which is a racist gathering that takes place yearly in Tennessee. Beth Foster is an activist, educator, and a member of the Dangerous Ideas Collective. She is also a member of the Antifascist Unity Coalition as well as One People’s Project.
Beth grew up in Kentucky and went to school for journalism. She was an intern at a newspaper company and uncovered a scandal involving state police in a drug ring and a young black man who discovered the truth, leading to his killing. Coverage of the scandal consumed years of her life and exposing the truth put her in danger.
This experience radicalized Beth. From there, she knew she needed to go deeper in order to create real change. Beth left her job as a journalist to join the Occupy Wall Street movement, which was gaining traction at that time.
Equality in Education
In New York, Beth met a pastor from her h
Welcome to Our First Regular Idavox Report
Hello and welcome to another Idavox Report from #NJRR Live, here to show you that hate has consequences. This is Daryle Lamont Jenkins’ premier podcast, the first of many regular episodes of the Idavox Report on Revolution Radio. From now on the podcast will air every Tuesday at 8PM EST. We begin tonight’s show by playing the music video for Stand Up and Fight.
The video is a visual compilation of activism and police violence overlaid with a moving song about never giving up. It ends with a photo roll of those priceless Black Lives recently lost to police violence in America. Stand Up and Fight was produced by Midnight Transit, a group consisting of our two esteemed guests tonight. Lester and Dylan Chambers are a father and son duo who have been involved in activism for most of their lives. They join us tonight from California to discuss their music, their activism, and the intersection of the two.
Stand Up And Fight
There is a lot to unpack in the Stand Up and Fight music video. You may have noticed if you clicked to watch the video (which we highly recommend!) that you were met with a content warning. Dylan notes that this content warning is interesting because he gathered most of the clips used in the video from major news networks. The videos from which he took the clips never had any content warnings on them. Dylan expected this type of thing to happen because he knows that racism is so often covered up in this country. The video was only up for two days before it was flagged with the warning. Lester pitches in that it is not often that people are confronted with a whole picture of police brutality but it is important that it happens.
There has been feedback from the general public for Midnight Transit to make more digestible, pop-friendly lyrics. However, Lester and Dylan don’t make their art for the money, so they don’t bow into pressure. They will not compromise their message. Midnight Transit has been around for about 6 years so far and is looking forward to getting back out there for performances as soon as it is safe.
It’s Not Just History
Dylan made sure to learn the stories of all 47 of the victims shown at the end of his music video. He hopes people will remember that behind each of those photos is a valuable human life that had potential, who was loved by many, who had their own story. Lester shares that he considers himself lucky to be here and Dylan chimes in with agreement. Many of those that were killed were activists much like Lester and Dylan who were only ever trying to spread a message of social justice.
A lot of people in our country today throw around the word “ancestors” without considering the implications. “Ancestors” implies, but does not technically necessarily denote, relatives more than two generations back. This is so often not accurate. Lester personally lived through the Civil Rights Movement. He describes living life as a boy in Mississippi, when his whole family lived in a shack and would get one shared pair of clothes each year.
On a regular basis, the KKK would roll through, so Lester’s family had to stay armed and guarded through the nights. Since Lester is a living victim, many of those who victimized him are most likely still alive as well. People have been so reluctant to acknowledge that these dangerous people are still around.
Trump: The Festering Wound of America
One thing that finally made some people wake up and smell the danger was the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6th. Now that the act was committed against a community besides the Black community, the country has acknowledged that violence by right wing groups is a serious threat. Dylan likens the situation to a festering boil on America. Divide and unrest we
Welcome to #NJRR Live!
Welcome to #NJRR Live! Thank you so much for tuning in for our podcast. Revolution Radio is a grassroots network meant to bring platforms to activists fighting for social change. Unfortunately, in the weeks following the election, the mainstream media has been criminally neglecting activist movements. Revolution Radio is teaming up tonight with Daryle Lamont-Jenkins, long-time comrade and founder of One People’s Project, to bring you The Idavox Report. From now on, you will be able to catch Idavox Reports on Revolution Radio every Tuesday at 8PM EST.
Daryle does not mince words. Right wing activity has come to a head, to the point where we as leftists are going to have to figure out what to do about it. Right wing groups are getting bigger. Recently, comedian and Youtuber Jimmy Dore had a member of the Boogaloo movement on his show. Jimmy Dore is considered a liberal figure. He identifies as progressive. Yet by his own admission, he had no idea who the Boogaloo boys were before he had one on the show. This was irresponsible journalism on the part of Jimmy Dore. This behavior verges on, some may even say breaches, apologism, and it needs to stop. It is entirely unacceptable that he was platforming someone who was from a right-wing group containing Neonazis.
Your contributions help us keep track of dangerous right wing activity. Donate to Revolution Radio if you think independent journalism should investigate these groups!
Daryle Lamont-Jenkins and Abner Hauge
The Boogaloo movement has been conflated by its own members to the second Civil War, which will take place when Republicans are no longer able to win elections. Members were coordinating riots if Trump lost for months before the election. For more on this, we welcome all the way from the West Coast (the “Left Coast,” as he calls it) author Abner Hauge. Abner was recently profiled in the Washington Post for their work doxxing members of right-wing movements.
Abner tells us that the Boogaloo movement is a deliberative, coordinated effort that uses bullshit talking points reminiscent of libertarian rhetoric. Their idea of freedom derives largely from settler colonialism. It boils down to a bunch of guys who want to own their own little fiefdoms. It is not so much a centralized movement as one that is just heavily associated with patriotism.
Dismantling Boogaloos
Abner and their website successfully infiltrated a Boogaloo movement Discord server that had over 2,000 members called the Citizens Liberty Organization. This effort included leaking the public relations document. Said document contained instructions to infiltrate BLM protests and cause mayhem, with the goal of ultimately leading to governmental collapse. Members of the group had been gathering and plotting in the server for months before it was brought down. The endgame for these people is anarcho-capitalism, which is really just more capitalism in the end. One of the lines in the PR document was “remember: they think these protests are about Black Lives.”
Abner Hauge Left Coast Right Wing Watch @LCRWNews Abner tells us that the Boogaloo boys were intentionally framing Antifa. That is why they attacked in the way that they did. Christian reminds us of a haunting similarity. Nearly a hundred years ago, Nazis appropriated left-wing language to trick German people into joining their movement.
Abner’s website, which was mentioned before, is al
