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 second of three hours of tonight's live installment of the Political Cessible Radio Program.
It's Saturday, June 29th.
We're at the Council of Conservative Citizens 2009 National Conference in Jackson, Mississippi.
If you're not a member of the CFCC, we encourage you to join by going to cfcc.org.
And you know, Bill, this is the first show that I've done as a 29-year-old.
I had a birthday last week.
So I'm 29 now breaking news around.
First show as a 29-year-old.
Yeah.
I don't even know.
You know, normally we archive.
Obviously, this show is going to be in the broadcast archives.
So if you're here live, as so many of you are, you want to listen to it again, believe me, when I get back to Memphis tomorrow, I'm going to go to the broadcast archives and listen to this show.
Far too much fun is being had.
But how many people do we have on the first hour?
Paul Fromm, Sam Dixon, Jared Taylor, Derek Black, a few fans of the show.
And there's still a lot more to come because we've got documentarian Craig Bottiker, which I think is the star of the show this weekend, as far as I'm concerned.
We've got Dr. Tom Sunik, a former Croatian diplomat, an author, and much more from the audience.
My God, Bill, what is this tonight?
Well, we're still marinating Craig Bottaker right now, but he'll be up shortly.
Craig Botaker is in attendance.
Now, he's been on the show twice to promote his film, A Conversation About Race, which did get a live screening here.
And we're going to talk to him about the feedback from that live screening, what he thought about it, and some more questions about the film itself.
That's coming up in a few minutes here in the second hour of tonight's broadcast.
But it's just amazing to me, Bill.
Again, I'm such a technophobe.
We do this show every week from the studios at 1380 WLRM.
And here we are.
It seems as though I'm just sitting on a couch with you, you know, talking about the issue he's talking about, what we would be talking about if we weren't on the air.
And yet, as we talk, people from around the world are tuned in live right now, driving around in their cars, listening to us on the AM FM affiliates.
They're on the internet.
They're tuning in on shortwave or satellite.
We're going out everywhere.
That's modern technology.
And for once, we're using it to our advantage.
I'm going to continue to steal Ed McMahon's brand by saying, Hey-oh!
Ed McMahon, Ed McMahon, you bring it.
Ed McCress, sir.
You mentioned Ed Man.
Wait, I'm not finished.
You are correct, sir.
Now, James, I'm going to go out in the audience right now.
I'm going to pull somebody else in.
So you're going to have to tread water here for about one minute.
I'll be right back.
Find us a fan if you can.
Bill Rowland, the Ed McMahon of the Political Cessible.
Now, Ed McMahon recently passed away, too.
Ed McMahon recently passed away, but that didn't quite make as much news as Michael Jackson, did it, Bill?
Well, you know, we're going to move to another Mike right now.
We have Mike from Atlanta, and he's going to be talking to us.
He just pulled him out of the audience, so we never know what he'll say.
Mike, what do you think of the conference?
Well, you are correct, sir.
So good to see you.
Sit down, Mike.
By the way, Mike's a good friend, an old friend.
And now here he is on my show.
Who would have thought?
We've seen you in Atlanta, and it's so great.
Now you're in Jackson.
the way to Jackson.
We had some good gin together on Friday night.
Don't forget that.
Wonderful gin.
If this is a good plug, Miller's Gin is the best.
So maybe they'll become a sponsor now.
Their stock just dropped.
We could use the money.
Yes, exactly.
What did you think of the conference?
Why did you come to the conference?
Well, the conference was outstanding.
And I came to the conference to be around a great group of like-minded people and to be able to be open-minded and free and to be able to say what I wanted to say and not have to worry about it.
That was the wonderful thing because the unfortunate thing is that so many whites, particularly white males and really even females, all white Americans have to worry about what they have to say and worry about their thinking.
And they have to sit in their offices and have to be scared about everything that they think and what they say and just worried all the time.
And it's so pleasant to be around people and to be able to say the truth and to not have to worry and to be able to be laid back and to be able to say the things that you know are true that you see all around you.
And that's what's so great about the show.
It's just incredible what you do, Jim.
Just outstanding.
Well, you know, and Craig, when I retrace the steps that we've taken and think about the history of this show, I mean, there was no reason for us to be where we are today five years later.
There was no formal broadcasting training.
The broken road of political activism led me from Pat Buchanan's campaign to a campaign for state representative and into radio.
And then even then, I mean, there was no guarantee that it would last more than a couple of weeks, much less a number of years, and we would be the success that we are.
We're commanding the attention of the New York Times, the LA Times, the London Times, CNN, and everything else that's come.
But it's been because of people like you, the people in this crowd right now, how amazing they are, how amazing you are.
And I can't thank you enough for your friendship and your support and your attendance here at this conference.
I mean, it's always good to see you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, man, you're great because you're telling the truth.
I mean, the idea, you're going out over the airwaves and so many people that hear this that are sitting at home and they just wish they could be at a conference like this.
And they're just happy that they can turn on the radio and they can hear something that they can't hear anywhere else.
They listen to something like Fox News or they listen to all of these TV channels and they say, well, you know, this is so close to the truth.
But I recognize that all of these guys have to pull their punches.
All of these guys are drawing back from telling the truth.
But James here is telling the truth.
See, that's the difference.
You know, you're actually telling the truth.
You're going 100%.
And people are respect that.
Well, they not only respect it, Mike, they respond to it.
We get countless correspondence and feedback via email and snail mail and our P.O. box from people who say they appreciate the show, people who have been inspired by the show, people who have been motivated to take political action because of the show.
But, you know, we know from our own statistics that this show has received hundreds of thousands of downloads, and yet we're here and we're in a great crowd of a great number of people, comparatively speaking.
There's 200, 300 people here tonight at this conference, but we know that we've had over in some months, 100,000 downloads.
So more people who are listening to this show right now, we're going out to countless numbers, tens of thousands who will hear this show either live tonight or in the broadcast archives that are available at our website and at the website of Liberty News Radio.
These people, you who are listening tonight to us, must become active because it's just not enough to listen in agreement.
You must take action in defense of your cultural heritage, in defense of your family, in defense of your country.
Am I?
It raises their spirits.
Come on, you talk.
Come on, everybody.
Give us a round of applause.
So, Mike, one last question for you before you go.
I know we pulled you away against your will, but what's on the menu tonight after the show?
Well, I have my Miller's Gin that's after the show.
And that's pretty much it.
And good fellowship and enjoyment with all of my friends here and my beautiful wife.
Absolutely.
Mary Lou and Mike from Atlanta.
God bless you.
And thanks for spending so much.
Any time you should be on more often.
Bill, it's too much fun.
It's way too much fun.
Three hours isn't going to be enough to contain us tonight.
We're going to have to talk to the producers at Liberty News Radio.
They're going to have to keep us on for like a 24-hour stretch.
We're on the quickly.
Happy hour is passing way too fast for me, I'll tell you.
But it'll be good when it's over in just a minute or two because we'll be able to get to some real radio instead of, you know, this.
I don't know.
I'm having more fun doing this.
I'm looking at this table up here, and that's pretty scary.
How many glasses of liquor do you count over there?
Now, not that we're drinking, this is an FCC regulated show.
Bill and I have only been drinking water tonight, but our fans, now, that's another story.
How many bottles of booze do you count over there on that table, Jim?
Let me put it this way: the more you drink, the better we sound.
Not that we would ever have anyone that's consuming alcohol on the show.
But anyway, we're having a good time tonight, nonetheless.
Now, Bill, we've got to get to, we're going to probably have one or maybe two drinks.
We're conservatives after the show.
But as for right now, we've got to get back to, well, we've only got a minute left.
What can you say in a minute?
Oh, by the way, yeah, check us out at thepolitical cesspool.org.
If you haven't signed up for our email list by now, then God help you.
But we would love for you to do it.
ThepoliticalAccess Pool.org, sign up for the email list.
Send us an email if you want to.
Contribute to the radio program.
This is a radio program that is 100% listener supported.
And for five years, we've been able to sustain ourselves by living off the land and cashing your $5 checks and $25 checks.
And I'm not saying that in jest, Bill.
I mean, we're absolutely grateful for the money that we're able to receive from our listening audience from around the world and their contributions don't go without notice.
So if you haven't donated to the show lately, donate to us.
We've always got great incentives for you.
And we've got a lot more to come tonight.
I know it's too bad we can't accept call-ins tonight because we are live, but I'm going to tell you, all our call-ins are in the audience right now.
And it's a big audience.
Let us hear from you one more time.
We'll be back with...
There's more Political Sesspool coming your way right after these messages.
Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Welcome back to the show, everyone.
James Edwards and Bill Coleman here with you live from Jackson, Mississippi at the CFCC 2009 National Conference.
We're having too much fun.
Thank God we're volunteers.
If we got paid for this, I'd feel guilty.
But here we are, and we're with a lot of friends.
And as you've been able to hear for the last hour and a half, we've got an hour and a half left, and we're continuing to go to the crowd.
But I tell you, Bill, we've got to take our show on the road more often.
We've got to do it more than once in the next half decade because this is, in my opinion, the most fun I've ever had on radio.
My apologies to Pat Buchanan and all the other people we've had on who have been great fun, but this is the most fun.
Are you having fun tonight, Bill?
Who are you?
Well, we'll let Bill figure that out.
We're talking to the Lord of the Board.
Art Frith is with us via Skype.
I mean, this is a truly interactive audience.
We're plucking people out of the crowd.
People are tuning in online on the internet.
They're Skyping with us, instant messaging with us.
I wish you were here, pal.
It's a whole different world than it was at WLRM back when you were there.
But we got a good friend of mine now, a gentleman who I was able to have lunch with today, and I was honored to be in his company for lunch.
Keith Alexander and I were with him and David Mako.
If you don't mind, sir, give us your name for the audience.
Let's just say I'm Rob from New Orleans.
Rob from New Orleans.
Now, you were very generous enough to pay a couple of compliments to the show during lunch.
And if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you to share with the audience your opinion of this radio program.
Well, I think this is a wonderful program, and I'm very grateful for this program.
I'm an older man, and it does my heart good to see young folks like you carrying the banner for this movement.
Gives me hope for the future of this country, which if you watch the mainstream news, that doesn't seem to be much hope.
Now, there's not much hope.
We're trying to instill a sense of hope and pride and forward progress for our movement with this radio show.
And it's unfortunate that we are the only game in town, I guess you could say, for true paleoconservatives or people of the old, I don't know, Pat Buchanan, George Wallace stock, but here we are, and we're doing great work.
And it's great work that's enabled.
We're enabled, obviously, by our listening audience and from the guests we have.
I mean, people say we're the stars of the show, but the true stars of the show are people like Kevin McDonald, who was on the program last week and was broadcasting with us.
I mean, if you missed that interview, ladies and gentlemen, go back to the archives and check it out.
Kevin McDonald is a true gem, and we're grateful to be able to have the opportunity to bring minds like that to an ever-growing radio audience.
How long have you been a member of the political successful listening audience?
Probably for about a year, but what really piqued my interest was the election in November.
I was depressed in 1976 when I woke up to find that Jimmy Carter was the president.
I am absolutely chagrined this past November.
I was chagrined when I woke up to find Barack Obama had been elected president.
And as I see it, neither the Democrat, the Democrats never have represented me.
The Republicans have ceased to represent me.
There you go.
That's perfectly stated.
So now, you know, I'm looking for some way to be politically engaged in the process, and I think I have found it.
I think I've found it.
Well, we hope you've found it.
I mean, obviously, you're here at the Council of Conservative Citizens, which is an organization that doesn't only talk the talk, but they walk the walk, and they have produced results over a great number of years, many decades, in fact.
All right, I got to put you on the spot here before you leave us.
You've been listening to the show for a year.
You're a favorite guest in that time.
I like Mr. Dixon from Atlanta.
Sam Dixon.
You can't do much better than that, can you, Bill?
Sam Dixon's a great guest.
And of course, we just had him on moments ago, literally.
I mean, I guess 30 minutes ago or so, Sam was on with us and certainly one of the most eloquent statesmen or spokesmen rather for our beliefs in our cause.
He could be a statesman.
He really should be a statesman.
He should be a statesman, but he's right now only a spokesman.
But Sam has done great work, and we're always glad to have him on.
And once again, he sort of states our case better than anybody we know.
So it's great.
Sam's having dinner with Jared Taylor right now.
I mean, this is all behind the scenes stuff.
There they are having dinner.
An hour ago, they were on the air.
That's Talk Radio.
That's it.
Well, thank you so much for coming on and have a safe trip back.
Thank you.
Welcome to New Orleans, everybody.
Okay, they're throwing their panties.
That's great.
It's super show.
All right, now we got to get a guy on that I've known for a number of years.
Every time, well, actually, there's a couple of guys in the crowd right now.
Every time we send them a letter, they send us some money back.
One is Lon from Missouri, and the second is Hugh from Georgia.
So, Hugh, you got to come up here for a second.
We're not going to give your last name.
Don't worry about it.
Hugh from Georgia, everybody.
Another Georgian here in the political.
Treat it like an Hugh treated it like an AA meeting.
Hi, I'm Hugh from Georgia.
I'm a reconquering liberal.
He is a paleoconservative that's going farther and farther down the road.
And that's where we got to go.
We got to keep this forward momentum going.
We got to keep moving the chains forward.
Now, Hugh, you've been a great asset of this program for how long now?
At least a couple, three years.
I've known you for that long.
Well, how about a quarter of a century?
Has that been how long it is?
Have we been on the air that long?
Well, no, no, I'm not sure.
As far as the movement.
As far as the movement is concerned, of course.
But now, Hugh, like I said, I don't want to embarrass you, but you've been a very generous supporter of this radio program.
There's never been a letter that I've sent out that I didn't get a response from you.
What leads you to support such causes?
Well, the cause is so serious.
The cause is so serious.
And as we know, the mainstream media controls everything.
We have very few voices.
Yours is one of them on the air.
So we need to support those voices.
We need to get the message out to the folks.
That's simple.
You think we've done that to the best of our ability, Bill, or do you think we could do better?
We can always do better, but I mean, we're doing the best we can, I suppose.
But I think we're having too much fun.
I mean, the thing is, we're not serious about this.
This isn't really, we're not really serious, folks.
We're just playing, but we're having a lot of fun, and we're glad you're with us.
Well, it's a serious message, but we're having a lot of fun delivering it.
I mean, obviously, Hugh's very serious, and the people who listen to this show are serious about the message that we delivered.
Tonight's a little more laid-back, obviously, than it is during any given normal week where we're sitting in the studio and we're pouring over our notes and we're getting ready for the next guest.
And tonight's a little more laid back and loosey-goosey because it's such a fun atmosphere.
The atmosphere breeds this sort of radio presence.
But Bill, I got to ask you, speaking of what the future holds, on Tuesday, a big thing's happening on Tuesday in Memphis.
Why don't you tell them what that is?
Do you know what that is?
Do you remember who's coming to visit us on Tuesday?
Oh, yes, absolutely.
I do remember.
And Hugh doesn't look serious to me.
I'm sorry.
It looks like he's having way too much fun to be on the radio.
I mean, this is crazy.
This is business, Hugh.
Come on.
Well, the beer is wet.
Come on.
The beer is wet.
Come on, sit up straight now.
Well, this hotel offers free.
This is the first time.
I didn't finish about the cut me off.
There we go.
Okay.
I'm cutting off just to say that on Tuesday, we will be meeting with a German reporter for the German national magazine, Deseit.
I don't know what that means in German.
It means the time.
Oh, the time.
Okay, so the time of Germany.
We'll be meeting with them for an interview.
But we'll have coverage of that when the time is right.
That's right.
When the time is right.
But they join a growing list of people who have taken interest in this program.
LA Times, New York Times, London Times.
I mean, all the Times, CNN.
German Times.
Now we're going to Germany.
It's a sign of the Times, James.
It's a sign of the Times.
Thank you, Hugh from Georgia, for sending it up to the show.
And thank you for all your support.
And I got to say again, where would we be tonight without Jamie and Art?
I mean, Jamie and Art offering all this technical support, both here and from afar.
And I can see Art's picture right now.
That's a little disconcerting, actually.
How's that happening?
I don't know, but he's scary.
He makes me want to act right.
I don't know.
He has that sort of disciplinarian type of presence, doesn't he?
Every time when we did the show live, when he was with us in Memphis at 1380, he just didn't want to act out because he would come in with a ruler and smack you.
But now my wife's in attendance, too.
Now, who's the real star of this show?
We got 20 seconds.
Absolutely is.
Danny is the star of the show and certainly is.
It's a shame that there's, you know, it's only radio is all I can say.
It's only radio.
That's right.
It's only radio.
We're going to do some more videos.
We got two seconds.
Oh, my gosh, this last call, everybody.
Craig Botaker, we come back.
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.
Welcome back to the show radio program.
James Edwards here live with you tonight from Jackson, Mississippi.
Obviously, you can tell the difference from when we're in Jackson as to where we're in Memphis at our normal confines, the studios of AM 1380 WLRM.
Now, if you're in Memphis, you're still hearing us live.
You're driving around.
You never know the difference, but we are actually in Jackson.
I'm here with my co-host, Bill Rowland.
I understand from our engineers at our network studio in Utah that a lot of people have been trying to call in tonight.
We are not taking calls this evening because we are live in a remote broadcast.
And we've got a lot of people here that we've got to talk to.
We appreciate your patience with us and your understanding.
Call in next week.
We'll talk about it some more.
But we will not be taking calls this evening from the telephone audience that typically calls in because there's just too much fun to be had in Jackson tonight.
And we're playing to the crowd this evening at the Council of Conservative Citizens.
Check them out at cfcc.org.
And, you know, Bill, the big surprise is everyone that's sitting around us right now, and there's a lot of them, they didn't know this was pay-per-view.
Before you leave, it's $20 a pop.
This isn't free.
Nothing in radio is free.
But anyway, we got a big guest with us right now, Bill.
We've had a lot of big guests with us so far this evening, not to mention a lot of fans of this program, regular listeners who've been listening from anywhere from a number of months to a number of years.
But right now, we got a guy that I'm real high on.
And our most recent fundraising solicit was talking his movie, which I think is professionally produced to the extent that it could be seen on HBO, biography, the history channel, whatever you want to put it on.
It's that well done.
It's a conversation about race.
Its producer director is Craig Botaker, the star.
Craig Bottaker.
Now, he's been on the show twice, but now we got him live in our midst.
Give him an introduction, Bill.
Well, I think you just gave him an introduction, James, but I'll be glad to repeat it since we're holding each other up here.
But Craig Botaker is a filmmaker.
And of course, on Friday night, we screened his absolutely superb documentary, A Conversation About Race.
And we're delighted to have Craig with us tonight.
He stayed over.
And everybody, Craig Boddicker, you saw his face.
Craig Boddicker!
Craig, your dream fulfilled rock star, man.
I thought you were going to give me a big introduction.
All right, Craig, a conversation about race.
It's a superbly done documentary.
By your own admission, two years ago, you were a George Bush Republican.
What prompted you to make such an exquisite yet controversial documentary?
Well, I think that's a good point, James.
Two years ago, I was.
I was a pro-George Bush Republican.
I was pro-Gulf War, pro-everything.
And I think that just the disconnects that we've seen, especially with the election of Barack Obama as president.
I think more and more people are seeing the fact that white people are not allowed to look out for our own ethnic interests today, but yet other people, the black people, the brown people, the yellow people, the olive people, for example, they're all allowed to look out for their ethnic interests.
But when we try to do it, we're actually punished for it.
We're ostracized for it.
And that's why it came to a head with me.
And I thought, well, the best thing I can do for my people and for my fellow man is to make this movie.
Well, you made a movie that was not only excellently and superbly done, but it's been well received.
Now, was this your first live screening of a conversation about race?
Yeah, it's another great point.
This is the first time I've ever sat down with a big group of people.
We had must have been 150, 200 people in the room and watched it last night for the first time with a Council of Conservative Citizens.
Thanks so much, everybody, for having me.
Now, what did you expect the reaction would be compared to what it actually was?
Did it meet your expectations?
Did it exceed them?
Did it fall short?
To be honest with you, James, I was a little nervous.
I was a little bit insecure.
This is the first time it's been with a big group.
And I have one of these producer jitters where, you know, plus there was happy hour before we screamed.
There's always happy hour at this place.
What is it about this place?
And so, but actually, yeah, I was really pleased with the response we got.
People found the humor in the film, as well as the intensity and the fact that it's compelling, but also people found humor in it.
So they were laughing while working on the funny bits.
Now, you've been on this show a couple of times in the past.
We have five minutes left in this segment.
You've been on for 30 minutes, an hour at a time in your past two appearances.
We only have a few minutes left in this segment, but I want to quickly rehash everything that we covered in those past few hours that you were on the air with us.
What was the synopsis of your DVD?
What was the purpose of it?
What is the message you want people to realize when they watch it?
I think if I can boil it down to maybe one consistent message, it's that let's watch out for words like racist and racism.
Because if we actually use these words in a sentence, we're validating them.
We're giving them vindication.
And the truth is, these are words that have been specifically designed to work against us as a people, because grammatically, it doesn't make any sense.
If I'm a feminist, I believe in feminism.
But if I'm a racist, I believe in races, I guess.
I'm not sure exactly how that works.
So you pointed out so eloquently the disconnects and the egregious and flagrant double standards and hypocrisies that reign.
I mean, this is their rule on the left.
But there's really nothing that there is to be ashamed of.
And we should point out that there are so many disconnects that exist when it comes to debating different racial truths.
I mean, crime is one of the things that you bring out in this documentary that people have a hard time admitting to.
They are very easy for them to admit that I guess the black race, the African Americans are better in basketball.
That's something that we've always been taught.
Something that's readily apparent to believe that the mainstream media.
And they admit that, as you said in your DVD, and basically a single sentence.
But when it comes to the things that our people excel at, there's no excuse for it.
In fact, we have to excuse it.
We have to excuse the fact that our people commit less crimes, that our people are more intelligent when it comes to IQ scores on average.
And they have to excuse that.
What is that all about, Craig?
Well, I think you're right.
It reflects, you know, the point of the film is double standards.
The double standards.
In other words, if you really want to lock in and enjibe with the conventional wisdom on the subject of race today, you'll have two standards.
One standard you'll apply to white people, and then the other standard you apply to everyone else.
And the example you talk about with crime or something like that, it always seems that with white people, well, he commits a crime.
Well, he's a criminal, you moron.
But if a black person has to be excused in some way, it's the racist system that we've oppressed them with.
Yeah, exactly.
They're always excused for their behavior, whereas we never are.
But and you bring out the rape statistics and everything else.
Bill, you can't say enough about a conversation about race.
I guess people will just have to buy it.
Now, Craig, you've made bank on this DVD in this conference.
I know a lot of people have been heavily supportive, and rightly so, I might add.
But if people are listening right now, they've heard you on this show a couple of times before, but they haven't bought your DVD.
How can they rectify that mistake and get a copy of it?
Well, that's a good point.
Www.a Conversationaboutrace.com, and I just printed up some great posters, by the way.
So when I get, when I get back to Colorado, what i'm going to do is i'm going to put them on the website.
You can have a poster dvd combo for 25 bucks now.
Craig's autographing all this stuff here in Jackson for the CMCC crowd now, and I don't know if they get it autographed if they order it over the internet.
I think it's an extra fifty dollars and well worth it, I might add.
I gotta think when you go to a conversation about race, a conversation about Race.com, you can buy the dvd, which I wholeheartedly endorse.
Everyone listening to this show right now around the world should get a copy of it.
Go buy it.
A conversation about Race.com, when you go to that website, you will see that it has been uh, reviewed.
Craig has appeared on the Political Cesspool radio program.
He mentions that on his website, but we didn't make it to the poster, Craig.
What's up with that?
Didn't make it to the poster.
We did.
We're not on the poster.
Oh my god, I think it was an oversight.
It must be some egregious mistake that we.
It certainly was.
We will forgive.
Someone's gonna be fired.
Okay, we're taking bids right now.
The lord of the board has said that someone who will give a hundred dollars to have Craig Bodaker autograph James's head.
We have any bids?
Everybody's laughing but nobody's bidding.
I mean, he's no bids.
No bids are the producer of the Political Cesspool from uh 2004 until 2007.
He's not getting any bids.
Just sorry Jade, i'm sweating so much right now.
It would just fade off, so it'd be a quick hundred bucks for us, but uh anyway okay, we got a five dollar bid.
Art, I don't know.
That's ninety five dollars short.
That's not gonna cut it.
I don't know what are we gonna do?
We got a sharpie.
We got a guy in the crowd with a sharpie.
A conversation about race.com.
Check out Craig Botaker's work.
We got 20 seconds to break.
Buy his dvd.
If you do one thing tonight as a result of listening to this radio program, buy Craig's dvd and you can do it online at a conversation about race.com.
We're going to break.
We'll be back with more right after this, everybody.
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.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool, everybody.
Give us a hand if you love us.
Now, me and Bill are very, very jealous tonight.
We're in the crowd of more people than I can count at this point.
And Bill and I are drinking water, and everybody else is having a very good time here.
So we have a very live and vibrant listening audience.
And there's no two people in the listening audience more vibrant than the two people that are to our right and left right now, Bill.
Who are they?
Well, I'm choking on an olive for my water.
On the right, we have the CEO of the Council of Conservative Citizens, Gordon Bob.
Give me a big hand, everybody.
Gordon Bob!
And on my left, we have the Earl of Shaw.
And both of these men are former hosts of The Right at Night from St. Louis.
Well, let us bring this on like we would in St. Louis.
Wants to do that.
Howdy.
This is Gordon Lee Bob.
I'm the CEO of the Council of Conservative Citizens.
We're coming to you from the Ride at Nine here in St. Louis, Missouri, 9:20 a.m.
My co-host with me is Mr. Earl P. Holtz III, the Earl of Shaw.
Say heidi to the folks, Earl.
Howdy, folks.
This is Radio Legacy, Bill.
This is Hall of Fame stuff.
We've got the crew of the Ride at Night with us on the political cesspool.
We're live.
It's contemporary.
It's a mix of the old and the new.
What can you say?
I mean, this is history in the making right now.
I can say something.
It's getting thicker than my barn.
I feel like I'm in a museum.
Oh, guys.
How do you figure?
Oh, guys.
I'm 39.
How old are you, Mr. Holt?
Everybody's 39 in this crowd.
No one's older than 39.
James is the oldest guy here.
I'm 29.
Oh, 29.
Okay, Gordon.
You're at least 49.
Okay, Gordon.
Are you telling these people over the air that you're 29?
I'm lying.
Did you turn down Gordon's hearing aid?
Is he not hearing me now?
I don't know.
Okay, how many years were you on in St. Louis?
Nine and a half.
10.
10 years.
It's embellishing.
It was nine and a half.
Nine and a half.
And Earl, we don't take exaggeration on this, bro.
I would say the whole ordeal.
No, I was on with Bule before.
But that was a week or two.
No, no.
Not whatever.
About a month.
He was on for 37 years.
37 years.
So 1927 to 1989.
You guys were worried about me.
That's great math there, Gordon.
Now, Gordon Barr.
37 years.
Gordon, in the capacity of the chief executive officer of the Council of Conservative Citizens.
That's a scary cut, isn't it?
You're scaring me right now, Gordon.
Gordon's been on this show more times than I can count since we came into being on October 29, 2004.
Never have we had this much fun with Gordon.
Never has he had this much fun with us.
What's going on tonight, Bill?
James Barr.
That's why we've got James.
I have to correct you.
I've counted every time that Gordon's been on with us.
But Gordon, you're a great guest.
And seriously, this has been a really fun conference.
No kidding.
If people couldn't pick it up by now on the radio, we are having real fun here.
It doesn't have to be video.
Radio can convey that fact.
Well, there's over 100 young ladies, nubile young ladies, wearing the skippiest of bikinis imaginable from the ages of 19 to 25.
What other conservative group could say this?
Why did you know?
Why did Jackson?
James, can I ask a simple question?
Earl, hold it, everybody.
Is it not true that we're probably having more fun than white males should be able to have?
God knows.
God knows.
And Ababa's America, we're having far too much fun.
If you're having fun, let us hear it, everybody.
Uncle Gordy.
Now, Uncle Gordy was interviewed by a local publication.
Let's just be polite.
They like me.
Now, you asked him, you said, how liberal are you?
Now, don't lie to Uncle Gordy.
That's right.
He lied.
Well, I tell you what, we need to send out a little hi-o out there to the Jackson Free Press.
Really good facts checking there, Jesse Wright.
They want to the wrong hotel.
You went to the wrong hotel.
Yes, hell!
God bless us.
People listening to us around the country, Bill, have no idea what you're talking about.
You know that, right?
Spell it out for them.
What are we talking about?
They don't know who Jesse Wright is.
They don't know what you're talking about.
Jesse Wright is the writer who wrote an article about us for the Jackson Free Press.
And we want everybody to hear this, especially you people over at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
I do want to say something, Bill.
I don't mean to interrupt, but Jackson Free Press, we sent out an email to the hundreds and hundreds of people who are on our email list at thepolitical cesspool.org, and we encourage them to comment on the Jackson Free Press's article about the covers that they gave this conference.
I checked my email not an hour ago here in this very lobby, and I received no less than two dozen emails from people who said that they had commented on the jacksonfreepress.com website and that those comments, as astute and polite as they were, were not allowed publication.
So what is that?
Is that fair?
That's embarrassment, Jackson Free Press.
Come on, you know you screwed up.
You got it wrong.
We apologize to the hotel mentioned in the article, but we did not give out that information.
They thought it up on their own.
They were brilliant.
They thought they tricked us.
And I said, well, you're not going to put that in print, are you?
And I didn't say that it was.
So everybody, all our listening officers, be sure and write the Jackson Free Press and tell them how much you appreciate their astute and accurate coverage of our convention.
And remember, Jesse Wright, really good research man.
All right.
Gordy, Gordy.
Come on, everybody.
Uncle Gordy.
That's for Uncle Gordy Gordon Baum, Esquire, CEO.
That's chief executive officer.
Come to you from the right at night.
That's right.
It's a convergence of the two and only two great radio programs of the pale male conservative movement.
They're right at night in the political cesspool that our older friendly.
We're the next way.
We got three and a half minutes, Bill.
How do we fill it?
Well, first of all, Gordon, don't ever use the D word when we're on the air, okay?
Because we got an audience out there we're trying to keep alive.
D-word, Demographic.
Died.
Oh, it expired.
Get him off the show, James.
Get him off the house.
Well, I'm looking at your Skype, Bill.
This is truly an interactive experience.
The Lord of the Board, Art Frith, our producer for so many years, the man who really took this show to the next level in terms of- Just expired?
No, he's alive still.
But he's telling us that it sounds like we're doing the show from the set of cheers.
Art, are you having a good time tonight listening to the show?
Is this more enjoyable than our normal format as we come to you from 1380?
I mean, come on, Art.
I know there's going to be a 30-second delay because it's going out over the satellite and all.
But anyway, I'll be waiting for Art's response.
But Gordon, what's next for the CFCC?
Well, we just enrolled our 24th million member this weekend.
24 million.
That's it.
24 million.
Give it up, everybody, for 24 million members.
This is Nate Mexico.
I like to say, under Obama's count, under 57 states.
Yeah.
Hey, that's not much of an exaggeration.
I went to the store the other day and I got a quarterback and I didn't know Puerto Rico was a state until I got the state quarter of Puerto Rico.
There it was.
Well, he said in the campaign, he'd been to 57 states or something.
Darn genius there.
He sure is smart.
Where's my teleprompter?
And every state in Africa as well.
And we have just unified all of Europe under my domain.
I become the Emperor C.
And other than that, things are going pretty smooth.
I raised my pay to $24 million a week.
Now they kick you in on for part of that.
Gordon, I need some money.
God knows.
Gordon, I know full well that if that were true, then you'd belong to Acorn and not to the other groups of countries.
You mean the right wing go get all that kind of money?
Well, I mean, I'm still waiting on my check, but so far, no good.
We do get $50 a month.
Well, he's a nut, but I don't think he would qualify for Acorn.
He's a nut, but he doesn't qualify for Acorn.
That's the line of the night.
Boo, Earl.
We're going to take your cocktail.
Acorn gets to.
We got a minute left, everybody.
We got to bring this to Acorn gets to pose bomb threats and threaten to slit the bomb threat.
Yeah, Acorn, they're going to kill people's children in their beds, and they don't get held accountable.
Bombs still make threats.
That's you, Gordon.
Bomb, bomb.
What's the difference?
Can I say one thing?
One thing, Earl.
We got about a minute left.
All right.
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I got to say, the smartest thing I ever did in my entire life was join the CFCC.
And if you want to be as smart as Earl Holt is, go to cofcc.org and join.
Join the organization, become a member.
Bill and I are not only both members, we're members of the board of directors.
God help the council.
You pay $100,000 a week.
Well, there you go.
We got 10 seconds to break, but check them out, everybody.
Cfcc.org.
Gordon Baum, the CEO of the Council and Earl Holt, his right-hand man on the old Ride at Night Radio show.
We'll be back to the floor right after this.
Give us a hand, everybody.
Believe it or not, there's a third hour of tonight's installment of the Political Cesspool coming your way right after these messages.
Behold the rising sun and it's been the ruin of many of our war.
