Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known worldwide as the South's foremost populous radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Welcome back to the third and final hour of tonight's live installment of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards, joined again in studio by Winston Smith as we broadcast live from Memphis, Tennessee tonight on AM 1380 WLRM Radio and to our affiliates and via the internet, thanks courtesy of the Liberty News Radio Network.
Joining us now on the program is one of our good friends, a man who's been making stellar appearances on this show for the better part of four years now, Attorney Edgar J. Steele, attorney and author Ed Steele, I might add.
Ed, welcome back to the show.
Thank you, James.
It's nice to be back.
It wasn't that long ago that you were with us, I believe back in February, and I appreciate you coming back to join us again so soon.
It's quite timely.
In fact, I was, of course, following, as many concerned Americans have been, the issuance of the horrendous MIAC report in the state of Missouri.
And I saw that you had a particularly good take on the matter and would probably be better suited than most people I could call to talk about it with our guests to really break it down and let us know what it all means.
But Ed, just in case some of the folks have been under a rock for the past few weeks, let them know what the MIAC report was all about.
Well, it's about declaring war on Americans is really what it's all about.
And it's been retracted, incidentally.
So don't go to the Missouri MIAC website and look for the document because you'll find it no longer is there.
It has been withdrawn under the huge firestorm that erupted all over the internet about it.
MIAC stands for the Missouri Information Analysis Center, if I remember correctly.
And the document that we're talking about that they put out was entitled The Modern Militia Movement.
And in there, they identified all the people that the Missouri State Police and troopers and local police departments should be on the lookout for.
And they said that if you're a supporter of Ron Paul, that you're a racist, that you're a potential terrorist.
If you vote Constitution Party, you're a racist or a potential terrorist.
If you vote Libertarian, you're a potential terrorist.
If you're opposed to abortion, if you're opposed to gun confiscation, if you fly an American flag, if you protect, if you object to people who attack the U.S. Constitution.
In other words, if you protect the U.S. Constitution, as so many of us have sworn to do as a part of military oaths or oaths with professional office or the like, then you're a terrorist.
You're an American.
If you're opposed to the expansion of federal power at the expense of state jurisdictions, in other words, overriding the 10th Amendment, as they've been doing since the days of Abraham Lincoln, you're a terrorist.
If you're concerned that Obama might put through a mandatory universal service program, which was just announced last week and approved by one of the houses of Congress, you're a terrorist.
And if you oppose the convening of a constitutional convention, which now has been demanded by 32 of the 34 states that are required in order to cause the convening of a constitutional convention, you're a terrorist.
You know, this is remarkable.
And everybody agreed with it.
And even after the initial firestorm erupted, Missouri's governor, a fellow by the name of Jay Nixon, came out and unequivocally supported and defended this outrageous document saying any way they take that information and can analyze what the threat levels are is important to make sure the public stays safe.
It's for the children, in other words.
Remarkable.
Yeah, Ed, I saw this.
And the George Orwell come to life.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, Orwell couldn't have even envisioned it going this far.
I mean, I saw this from a variety of sources, one of which being Chuck Baldwin, the former presidential candidate of the Constitution Party, who also has been on this show a number of times.
And at first, I honestly thought it was a parody.
I thought that as bad as America has become, as far left as it's gone, surely this can't be real.
I mean, certainly, you know, for a long, long time, Southerners who fly the Confederate flag, for instance, who are great people, of course, were sort of off if you ask the usual suspects.
But I mean, flying the federal flag qualifies you for being a terrorist.
Having a Constitution Party or a Ron Paul, who is a Republican congressman for crying out loud, having a Ron Paul bumper sticker on your car qualifies you as some sort of a right-wing extremist or a terrorist?
I saw it, and then I found out that it was serious.
And Ed, every time I think I've seen it all, I realize I haven't.
I mean, this was the real deal.
What I loved was the Constitution Party, which is a growing minority party in America today, as well as heard about this, they issued a travel advisory.
I saw the kind of thing that the U.S. has now issued about Mexico saying, don't go to Mexico because it's dangerous.
Well, the Constitution Party last week issued a travel advisory about the state of Missouri.
Stay out of Missouri because they may arrest your ass if you've got a bumper sticker that they don't like.
If you've got a bumper sticker that says anything other than McCain or Obama, you could go to, well, I mean, you could at least be pulled over and harassed.
I mean, we know they love to do that.
Well, again, Ed, I saw this, and one of the things that crossed my mind, and I think it's a sentiment that you echo, was that, well, I'll be damned, the majority of Americans must not be that far removed from James Edwards, Winston Smith, and Edgar Steele.
They absolutely are not.
And you want to know something, James?
They never have been.
I have been impressed with this fact for years, ever since I had a trial where I defended the Aryan nations in a free speech case.
That's what I was defending, all of our rights to free speech in that case against the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And in one day, I had lunch with Richard Butler, who's the head of the Aryan Nations.
And then after the day's trial work was over, I went out and discussed the case with Richard Cohen, who was the lead trial attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center and is now the CEO of that organization.
And we had a long and interesting discussion.
And afterwards, I was talking to my wife, and I said, you know, how many people get an opportunity to spend an extended amount of time in the same day with people as divergent as Richard Butler and Richard Cohen?
And I got to tell you something, James.
I told her, you know, it's amazing if only everybody could be in my position and talk with these people one-on-one in private and realize there isn't that much difference between them.
And if there isn't that much difference between two guys like that, there sure ain't much difference between the rest of us.
You mentioned the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Who had a, you know, I don't have any proof, but who had a hand in issuing such an abominable report, such a far-fetched report and advisory?
Who was beyond that?
I mean, surely the state of Missouri, which is, you know, for lack of a better word, a fairly conservative state.
I mean, there's some good folk in Missouri.
Surely their state representatives in government couldn't be that far removed from reality.
Who's behind this, Ed?
Well, they are that far removed from reality because they're not getting stuff like this to begin with.
But the document itself identifies the Southern Poverty Law Center, as you well know.
Your buddies the source for the information in it.
Ed, you know, it is, and it's part and parcel of the lifeblood of the Southern Poverty Law Center, particularly, and some other organizations like that.
They're running out of people to demonize, and so now they've got to demonize less and less radical people all the time in order to create the donations that keep them going.
And that's why they're after you now, James.
You're pretty much, in my opinion, a kind of a middle-of-the-road guy.
And yet, you're coming in for special treatment, I happen to know, at the hands of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And that's because they've run out of guys like Richard Butler, who now is dead, rest his soul.
He was a good man, and I respected him immensely.
And he was a friend of mine.
And the Aryan Nations and a number of other organizations.
And since those have gone by the wayside, they're looking around.
There aren't many guys standing up, and you happen to be one of them.
So now it's your turn.
Yeah, they've certainly taken a liking to us.
And I know they love you too, Ed.
And I thought it was a gross exaggeration to lump us into some sort of vile category like that.
And, of course, vile, what am I talking about?
I mean, they try to make it sound a lot worse than it is.
But nevertheless, I thought it was a stretch when they put us in there, but so be it.
You know, what am I going to do about it?
But to put Ron Paul supporters and Chuck Baldwin voters into the same category as some sort of domestic terrorist.
The Republican Party is a font of terrorists.
Hey, one second, Ed.
We've got to go to break.
We're going to pick it back up and turn it over to Winston Smith as well.
Set tight, everyone.
More with Ed Steele right after this.
On the way, there's more political cesspool coming your way right after these messages.
Welcome back to get on the political cesspool.
Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Continuing on tonight with our second and final featured guest of the evening, Attorney Edgar J. Steele, and we're talking with Mr. Steele about the MIAC report that was distributed in Missouri and distributed to law enforcement agencies all across the show me state.
And that is, of course, the M.O. of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
They have their so-called intelligence reports that they issue to law enforcement agencies, and they have, of course, listed yours truly and this radio program as some sort of an extremist venue, which I couldn't disagree more heartily with.
I think we are, as Ed mentioned, basically just, well, we advocate common sense and we try to do so with taste and class.
We speak the language that most conservative, and you know what I mean by conservative Americans are thinking and feeling, and that's reflected in the amount of correspondence we get and the growth this show has seen.
But nevertheless, they say extremist, I say patriot, we won't split hairs.
But now they're saying that the Constitution Party itself is a hotbed of racism and potentially full of domestic terrorists.
We're going to get back to Ed about that issue, but I want to turn it over to my co-host and colleague Winston Smith with a question for Ed.
Ed, this report is covered in the grease and the grime of the SPLC and the ADL.
Now, with this report, this report has tipped the hand.
It has let the cat out of the bag that the SPLC and the ADL have successfully turned law enforcement, state law enforcement, into their own enforcers and market researchers.
Americans should be outraged in the extreme about this.
How dare taxpayer-funded law enforcement agencies take their marching orders from Abe Foxman and Morris Dee?
People should be calling their state representatives and demanding assurance that their tax money will not be spent doing the bidding of the SPLC and the ADL.
And we should be given assurances that our safety will not be put under the auspices of Mark Potok and Abe Foxman.
If we the people do not make a large issue of this and make if we don't take care of it now, then we deserve what we get.
Well, I couldn't agree with you more.
You said it better than I could say, certainly.
People, what burns me about this, Ed, is that the Missouri, apparently for some time now, Missouri law enforcement has been taking their marching orders from the SPLC.
And let's just face it, I mean, all the SPLC and the ADL are, as mentioned earlier in the program tonight, are just fundraising rackets.
They're liberal advocacy organizations.
They're hustlers.
I don't know why law enforcement and governmental entities would take them seriously any more than they would take their marching orders from Earth, from us or any sort of right-of-center organization.
But, Ed, your thoughts?
Well, because the same people that run the SPLC are running America and, in fact, are running the central banks and are running the world in general.
And they want to run the entire world under a single government agency.
And this is all part and parcel of that reach.
And they're overreaching, as they always do.
Yes, this MIAC report has awakened a lot of Americans that weren't awake before, but there's a whole lot more that need to be woke up.
I had a long conversation with somebody highly placed in the Idaho Constitution Party the other night.
We went on for a couple of hours, and we were discussing my politics, his politics, and he characterized my political position as being right-wing.
And I said, well, you know, maybe that's true.
I'm certainly right of the middle-of-the-road American public, but I'll tell you this much.
At this time next year, because I'm shifting my focus a little bit towards them, I know they're moving, but this time next year, the American public and I are going to meet on the shoulder of the road.
Yes, and I agree with that.
Absolutely.
And again, I think we all, at least myself, I think sometimes we overglorify these organizations like the SPLC and ADL.
As powerful as the Jewish interest is, you know, I don't have a lot of respect or fear of them.
I mean, they can do what they will.
I wouldn't miss that badly.
But, you know, Ed, you're right, getting back to this report, do you think that this is – is there going to be any backlash, do you reckon, for these organizations that have become a little bit overzealous and trying to demonize these really kind of benign and harmless Constitution Party voters?
I mean, is there going to be any backlash for them going to that extreme?
Joel, I don't know.
Unless you call the Second American Revolution a backlash, I'd say no.
Well, do you think it could possibly come to that?
Because I was pleasantly surprised.
You know, it should be stated that this MIAC report was rescinded after just a vehement and overwhelming outcry from the general right-of-center public, I guess you could say.
But I was shocked in and of itself of that, Ed, that white conservatives actually got up and did something that was in their best interest.
Normally, if you come and you tell a white guy you're going to cut his arm off, he's like, well, why stop there?
How about my legs and my head while you're at it?
You know, they can't fall on those swords quickly enough, a lot of folks.
And they actually did something that was in their own best interest, something that was healthy.
And I was shocked.
Do you think we can use this as a springboard to something a little more fruitful?
Well, it's only one of many things that we can use, and we've gotten a lot of mileage out of it.
I've characterized it as a gift, of course, to waking up people.
Do you think it was that important?
Talk about a time when people are losing their jobs and they're watching bankers walk away with bonuses of multi-millions of dollars for running their companies into the ground, companies that we now are bailing out.
People are getting angry in this country.
They're getting angry with big business.
They're getting angry with big government.
But I repeat myself because they're the same, aren't they?
James, if we don't force a backlash out of this, then it'll be just one more golden opportunity that we will have grown.
This has fallen into our lots, and this is a golden opportunity that we should not squander.
Folks, come Monday morning, get on the phones to your state legislatures and demand that they not use information provided by the SPLC.
Well, this goes deeper than just this one report.
Remember, this organization in Missouri is just one of what's called fusion centers that have been set up with a quarter of a billion dollars of federal tax money throughout the country.
Virtually every state in the Union has one of these centers that's busy militarizing the police departments and putting them on alert to look out for people like us as potential terrorists.
They're not looking for terrorists at the airports.
You know how many terrorists they've arrested since they started going through this draconian gestures-like behavior at airports?
I got to hear this.
Zero.
Do you know how many terrorist acts the Patriot Acts have prevented?
None.
Well, now we're beginning to see what all this airport business, what the Patriot Acts, what the military commissions business, what all of it is about.
It is about us because they are scared to death of what will happen when our cash, our economy, crashes and burns.
And they've got good cause to be scared to death of us for that, because when it does crash and burn, there are going to be angry people in the streets.
And that's when I think we're going to start segueing into what I call the Second American Revolution.
Unless you want to call the war of northern aggression a century and a half ago a revolution.
Well, Ed, we're going to pick it up with that right when we return.
Absolutely outstanding interview as it always is when you're on with us and we've got a little bit more of it for our listening audience.
When the political cesspool returns this evening on the Liberty News Radio Network, sit tight, everybody.
More Ed Steele to come as he is our guest in the Cesspool with James Edwards and Winston Smith.
We'll be back right after this.
Don't go away.
The Political Cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
On the show and express your opinion in the Political Cesspool,
call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
All right, welcome back to the show once again, James Edwards, Winston-Smith, along with our special guest and good friend, Ed Steele.
Ed, getting back to this report, and I'm going to leave this as my final question with the report itself and move on to how further we can use it and what lies potentially and hopefully in our future.
But was the purpose of this really to get the highway patrol to pull over folks with a Ron Paul bumper sticker or a Constitution Party bumper sticker and get them to believe, man, there goes another one of those homegrown terrorists.
Let's go harass them.
Let's search their vehicle, make sure they have no, you know, Syntox gas in the trunk.
Or was it just to make those very people a little more hesitant to do anything proactive, to make them be good little members of the world?
What do you think?
I think it was both those things.
Plus, it's an ongoing effort to get all of the people in uniform and under arms in America moving in the same direction in unison so that they'll do what they're told when the really bad times come.
In other words, so that they'll shoot us in the streets.
Well, and again, I mean, I don't think that is very far-fetched at all to believe that would happen, particularly when you compare how far we've come and how Orwellian, as you've mentioned, Ed, this society has become over the course of just a few short decades.
But Winston, I know this is an issue that's gotten you particularly hot, and I want to turn it back over to you.
It's just, it has gotten me particularly hot, James.
I'm really at a loss as to what to say.
I'm speechless about this, and I have been.
Every time I read a story about this report, I get hotter and hotter.
How is it that these people think that they can turn against the American people on the orders of Morris Dees and Abe Foxman?
I cannot get my mind around that.
Don't they know?
Sure, they must know what the ADL and the SPLC are.
They are fundraising organizations.
They are not concerned with justice at all.
They are not concerned with anything but their own financial enrichment.
And yet they are using law enforcement to do their bidding.
I find that unconscionable and infuriating.
If we don't do something about it now, if we don't turn it into a big deal, then we deserve what we get.
Well, Ed, do you think the fact that level-headed folks were able to complain enough to get this rescinded, is that positive to you?
Well, it's positive, but it's not sufficient.
There aren't enough people getting outraged.
There are too many people watching Jeopardy and dancing with the stars and drinking beer.
And they won't get upset until they lose their jobs.
Football games aren't on TV anymore until they become uncomfortable, a lot more uncomfortable than they are right now.
And when there's rioting in the streets and people are getting killed, and I submit that it will be along racial lines when it happens because the underclass, the people who have come to expect support, welfare support and the like, as a matter of their mere existence, that they will riot and start taking it out on the people that they view as their oppressors,
the people that have been told are their oppressors.
In other words, white people like us.
And when that starts happening, it will happen so much, even though it's going on right now, that the media won't be able to cover it up.
And when the word gets out, then there will be bands of vigilantes, white vigilantes, who will be going out and going looking for these troublemakers.
And when that happens, the government will then respond and start shooting them down in the streets.
And that will be the beginning of the revolution.
And I think that's what it will take.
We could have reports like this out the wazoo from organizations like MIAC, which are a source from the Southern Poverty Law Center or the ADL, and it would not lead to anything.
What it's going to take is severe pain shooting us in the street before the American people is willing to rise up and make a change in America.
We'll certainly see if that manifests itself, but I'll tell you, I wouldn't bet against it.
Let's go to a caller very quickly before we turn it back to Winston, Wes in Ed Steele's home state of Idaho.
Wes, you're on the line.
Do you have a question for our guest?
Are you there, Wes?
All right, one more time for Wes.
Okay, we'll try you again in just a second, Wes.
Winston, continue on.
I'd like to add that just because this report has been rescinded, that does not mean the policy still isn't in place.
I expect that what they've done is revamp the distribution system so that more reports like this don't get out, so more reports like this don't fall under the eye of the American people.
That policy isn't going away.
They're still going to do it.
Only now they become a little bit smarter about how to keep it from us.
Oh, I'm not convinced of that.
Think back to the Clinton administration.
You know, over eight years ago, there was that FBI document that was released, which was much like this MIAC report that created an internet hoo-ha, which identified Christians, vegetarians, homeschoolers as terrorists.
Well, there you go.
I mean, that's what we're talking about.
And it isn't, yeah, a precedent wasn't set here per se, but I think, you know, it is rare that something this egregious and outstanding and fantastic, fantastic in a bad way, you just don't see it every day.
You expect it for people who are outspoken and on the front lines, such as us and you, Ed, but you don't expect it from the Constitution Party types.
We're going to try Wes one more time.
Wes, are you with us this time?
Hello again.
Hello again, Wes.
What's your question for Ed Steele?
You move so diegone fast, James.
I was picking up the phone when somebody called in and said our Constitution comes from the Iroquois Indians.
Can I address that issue?
Yeah, you know, we were, I didn't want to get into it with that guy because we had another guest on by all means.
I grabbed the phone.
I had a comment to make.
All right, well, I didn't hear you that time.
Okay, here's another one for you and your guests.
I have a $2 bill here.
What historical fraud is engraved on the $2 bill?
Ed, do you know the answer?
I used a $2 bill just last week, but I don't really pay attention to it.
I can't hear you.
You're going to have to translate for me.
He was asking what's fraudulent about the $2 bill.
Historical fraud is engraved on the $2 bill.
We give up, Wes.
Tell us.
You look at it really close.
It is the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and there's a black African at the table sitting there.
Ed, if you didn't catch that, our caller is informing us of a very important fact, apparently, that on the back of a $2 bill, there is a black African signing it.
Well, he's sitting.
He's sitting at the table.
He's a part of it.
He's not signing it.
He's sitting at the table.
What are we going to do about the world that we live in, Wes?
And in fact, the paintings and all the pictures that people do of there being a group of men gathered in a room signing the Declaration of Independence, that's all false.
The Declaration wasn't signed that way.
It was finally settled upon, the final language, and the final draft done.
And then people signed it piecemeal, one, two at a time.
Over the course of several weeks, as a matter of fact, there never once was a single convocation of individuals who signed it the way that these paintings and pictures depict it.
And trust me, there were no black people sitting at the table doing it.
One more thing about the Iroquois Indians contributing to our form of government.
The American Indians are referred to in the Declaration of Independence.
Let me quote a short paragraph.
He, that's King George, has excited domestic insurrection amongst us and has endeavored to bring to the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.
With that, I'll let you go to your yeah, no, you're exactly right, Wes.
I mean, obviously, the Iroquois didn't help us write the Constitution, but when you get a caller like that, it doesn't really pay to squabble and get into it all.
But thank you for the points of reflection.
We appreciate your thoughts tonight on the show, and it's good to have you over here with us.
Winston, back to you and Ed.
I'm looking at an image of a $2 bill right now, and perhaps I'm missing it.
And I just don't see a Negro there.
You never know what you're going to get into on the political cesspool.
I mean, you make an offhanded remark about the Chuckalisa Indian Village, and just everything breaks loose.
We're going to collect our stuff during the break.
Going to come back with more right after this.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
We'll return.
Jump in the political cesspool with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Another three hours going by far too quickly, if you ask me.
We're down to the final minutes tonight.
I want to go back to our esteemed guest, Edgar Steele.
Ed, I apologize for the temporary deviation from our current topic, but would like to give you the final word on the matter and to add anything else to the conversation that we failed to bring to your attention and also give contact information for your great website.
All that being said, take it away, Ed.
All right.
Well, you can go to my website, www.nickelrent.com, for a variety of my messages, which now are coming out weekly of just like a clock.
I also have a radio show now on the Voice of Reason network.
That's reasonradio.com.
And that's Wednesday nights at 6 p.m. Pacific time, 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
And you can hear me carry on uninterrupted for a solid hour like this, if you would mind to.
I'm more concerned about the spillover of violence from Mexico that now is taking place all across the southern border of America than most anything else right now.
There's a civil war going on in Mexico.
The Mexican government is in danger of being toppled.
And the southern part of the United States has been drawn into it.
And our United States government is doing nothing about it to protect its citizens.
And that's got me more concerned than any other single thing at the moment, probably.
Well, and you know, Ed, since you bring it up, the feds, as we know, are spending trillions and trillions of dollars on everything under the sun, throwing money at everything and anything they can think of as an excuse to spend that money.
But just this week or last week when Congress offered to appropriate an additional $380 million for border security, Obama's Secretary for Homeland Security turned it down, saying that they have all the money they need in the fight to secure our border.
So, I mean, what are you going to do?
I mean, it's just.
That'd be nice if Obama kept his promise to bring home the troops from Iraq.
And if he's wondering what to do with them, he could station them on the border and secure the border that way.
Well, that's the most common-sense idea anyone could suggest.
Yeah, it's just, you know.
Yeah, right.
Well, I mean, yeah, I do get a little bit of guilty pleasure and satisfaction out of seeing all these liberals who were so convinced that the new boss was going to be different than the old boss.
And lo and behold, President Rahm Emmanuel has gone on to refuse to bring home the troops, just like we knew he would.
But yeah, I mean, putting the troops on the Mexican border where they should be is a novel idea, but you know as well as I do, Ed, it's not going to pay to hold your breath for that one.
No, we're more concerned about policing the seats on North Korea to try to characterize their test launch of a rocket to put a satellite into orbit.
And they've got half the country scared to death from mainstream media that Korea is about to launch a nuke at us next week.
That's what my wife thought it was, just based on the television news.
I had to tell her what the truth was.
Yeah, those pesky North Koreans, what are we going to do?
Hey, at least there's the next frontier, I guess, for the American military.
There are so many.
That's the good thing about it.
If you're into this line of thought, keeping the world safe for Israel and policing the world, you never run out of outposts, except for those in your own country.
And even in America, according to them, Israel never runs out of enemies.
And since America has now become a Jewish country, the same is true of America.
Well, I mean, truer words couldn't be spoken, Ed.
It's just a shame that something so blatantly obvious isn't understood and seen by the vast majority of the voting public.
Or if it is, they're not doing anything about it.
But I guess that's what we're here for.
And I want to thank you again, Ed, for appearing with us again to get the information out about that report in Missouri.
And of course, we talked about a couple of other matters while we had you.
And I mean it, sir.
It is always a pleasure.
We couldn't do it often.
My pleasure entirely.
Thanks for having me, James.
We'll talk to you again soon.
Edgar Steele, everybody, check him out at nickelrant.com, and we'll have him back on soon.
I hope.
Thank you, Ed.
Winston, a final word tonight.
Are you still looking for that $2 bill, Winston?
Yeah, I've been madly researching it, and I have an image here of a $2 bill.
Apparently, the man who looks black is a man named John Hansen, who was the president of the Continental Congress.
He wasn't the president of the United States.
The painting, the picture on the back of the $2 bill, is supposed to be a copy of John Trumbull's painting, the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
And you see the man in John Hansen's position, and it's clearly a white man.
But if you look at a close-up of the engraving on the $2 bill, the man in John Hansen's place, it looks like some of the engraving gave him shadows, but his face in no way resembles that of a Negro.
I think he looks black because of the engraving, the engraving plates.
But if you look closely at his facial features, they are decidedly caucusoid.
And if you look at the painting upon which the back of the $2 bill is based, the John Trumbull painting, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there is not a single black person to be found.
All right.
Well, you can call us mythbusters, too, while you're at it.
I mean, we'll talk about it all.
We're not going to shy away from anything.
I shouldn't even get into this, but we don't have a lot of time left.
And too little time remains to open up a more salient or important topic.
But we'll get back to it since it's been brought up twice.
Winston, your take on – and I know if you Google it, you'll find that the Iroquois Confederacy was alleged to have helped instruct and helped the founding fathers, quote, unquote, with the writing of our U.S. Constitution.
You buy into any of that, Winston?
Not really.
It just goes to prove the genius of the Founding Fathers because it is such a good thing, it's such a good idea that our Founding Fathers had that everybody feels a need to have a piece of it.
They feel a need to insert their own culture and heritage into it.
Going back to the $2 bill thing, as I was doing the research on this, I found a number of sites claiming that John Hansen was a black man and that he was the first president of the United States before George Washington.
So it just goes to show the length to which these fools will go to try to try to abscond with our heritage.
And it just speaks volumes about the value of our accomplishments.
Look, the establishment of the United States of America is a white male accomplishment.
Period.
End of story.
No Indians, no black guys.
We did it.
Let it, live it, live it.
And listen, you know, that's just a matter of fact, and that's not to say that, listen, we want people of every ethnic group to have pride in their accomplishments and their cultural heritage.
But another reason for this program is just to serve notice to folks that we're not going to be arbitrarily denied the right to take pride in the accomplishments of our people.
And that's not to say that we can't respect differing cultures and share in some of their successes.
But bottom line is we're proud of who we are.
We wouldn't trade it.
And we're not going to be told that it's racist or evil to have pride in being a European American or a derivative of the European peoples.
But Winston, you mentioned heritage and the heritage of the political cesspool.
I mentioned this at the very top of the program while you were stuck in traffic.
So I'll use the final couple of minutes here to repeat myself and the close of the show three hours later.
The broadcast archives of the Political Cesspool Radio Program have been completely restored.
So you can now revisit the definitive collection at thepolitical cesspool.org.
That's our website, www.thepoliticalcesspool.org.
The broadcast archives from shows aired for the previous seven months have now been put back onto the website.
We had to do a little bit of work there.
They were temporarily offline.
And of course, you can listen to those on demand 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
And of course, shows dating back to 2005.
All there, all waiting for you.
Immerse yourself in the history of this program and the many great guests we've had, people like Pat Buchanan and so many others who frequently appear on this program because we are doing good work here and a lot of big names are joining in and helping us get the message out.
And they've done good.
They've done a good job.
Take a look at our guest list, join the email list, read the blog, email us.
Contact information for all the hosting staff and production crew of this program is available for you and we would love to hear from you.
We appreciate the feedback and we do our best to respond to everyone in a timely manner.
Winston, final word.
Live life like we do with no retreat, no surrender, and no apologies.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
And in fact, I do say that every single show.
Oh, by the way, before the sand completely falls from the hourglass, beginning next week, we will be in the month of April, which is officially Confederate History Month, Confederate Heritage Month.
And for an hour of each show that we broadcast live during the month of April, we will dedicate that to the heroes and legacy of the Great Confederacy.
And we've got some great guests lined up for you.
Nathan Bedford Forest historian Steve McIntyre will be our guest.
Dr. Michael Hill, president of the League of the South, best-selling author Dr. Thomas de Lorenzo.
Michael Andrew Grissom, author of The South Was Right When the South Was Southern, Southern by the Grace of God, and all those other titles.
We're going to have a lot of fun during Confederate History Month.
We're not going to be dead.
We're out of time.
Tune in next week and you'll find out what I'm talking about.
For Winston Smith, I'm James Edwards.
Good night and God bless you.
Thanks for joining us tonight in the Political Cesspool.
