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.
All right, here we go, everybody.
Hope you're still buckled up and tuned in for tonight's third hour of the Political Cesspool radio program.
It's Saturday evening, August 1st.
It has certainly been a lively and eventful program so far.
Many thanks to my good friend and co-host, Bill Rowland, who was with us for the first two hours.
He is on his way home tonight now to tend to some family obligations.
Nothing bad, of course, all good.
Just wanting to spend a little time with the family.
And so I will be flying solo for tonight's third hour.
Well, not really flying solo, at least solo in terms of I won't have another co-host, but we do have an outstanding and excellent guest on the line with us who will be introducing in just a moment.
Before we do, though, another reason to go visit our website.
In delivering all the announcements this evening, I almost forgot that we did post a little feature to our secondary blog.
Now, we have the main blog that I write, and then there's another blog on the bottom right-hand corner of the page for just kind of the extra notes, news and notes of the program and guest columnists, I guess you would say.
Interesting little feature there on Vikings, kind of debunking some of the common myths about Vikings.
And I'm a big fan of the Vikings.
I think it's a very interesting and rich heritage, a very interesting part of our past.
A great strain of our European heritage there with the Vikings.
God knows every time I go down to Disney World, I spend an obscene amount of time at the Norwegian Pavilion at Epcot reading about the Vikings and taking in all things Norway and Norwegian.
So anyway, another reason to check out the website, thepoliticalsesspool.org, read the top 10 misconceptions about the Vikings.
I know that's something that everyone would have a lot of fun with.
It's good history, too.
Putting history into accord with the facts, as the Barnes Review would say.
That being said, let's go now to our guest, a guy who I'm really excited about.
I really enjoyed having the opportunity to speak with him over the phone a couple of times this week in advance of the interview, Tom Baugh.
And that is B-A-U-G-H.
Think Rush Limbaugh, except think a good guy, a guy who is on the right side of the fence and not just a pretender and take out the LIM.
Tom Baugh on the line, and he wrote the explosive new book, Starving the Monkeys.
And we're going to find out all about that book over the course of the next few segments.
Tom, are you with us?
Yes, James, I am.
And thank you for having me on your show.
Well, the pleasure is all ours, I assure you.
Thank you for taking time out of your Saturday evening to be with us and our audience.
First of all, we're going to give this out again at the end of the interview, but I want folks to be reading along.
Maybe they can even buy the book while we're talking with you here.
Let's give out the website just to get things started.
And then we're going to talk about some of the tenets of the book.
The website for the book, Starving the Monkeys, is starvingthemonkeys.com.
Can't get any easier than that, folks.
Check it out and be reading along with us as we interview Tom Ball, author of the book, Starving the Monkeys, right now.
Tom, first things first, in the book, you mentioned two types of people in the world.
This is sort of like the fundamental ethos of the book.
There are two types of people in the world.
Who are they?
That's right, James.
Most of the people in the world, and really my only concern is about this country.
The rest of the world's not really my issue.
For America, the two kinds of people that we deal with on a daily basis in our daily lives are producers and monkeys.
The producers are all the people in our country that add value to civilization.
They're the people that made this country great.
They're the people that this country was created for.
On the other side of the fence, there's all the monkeys.
The monkeys are the people that drain value from civilization, that drag us down, that take everything we've worked for and we've earned and we've built and they destroy it in front of our eyes every day.
That's a pretty outstanding answer.
And I would tend to agree with you.
At the end of the day, there are two types of people: the producers and the destroyers.
But there's also a subset of monkeys, if I'm not mistaken.
In your book, you talk about monkeys being the other type of people in contrast to the producers.
But there are two types of monkeys.
You have the welfare recipients on the left, and you have what you call the suit monkeys on the right.
Can you go into a little detail about that?
That's right.
When people think of monkeys, the image of the welfare recipient immediately comes to mind.
And of course, those people are what I would call monkeys, but more insidious.
And the problem that really faces most of us in the bigger issues of our life are what I call suit monkeys.
And these are the guys that represent the entrenched interest on the right.
They're the ones that will scream, hey, we need to have free trade, we need to have free market forces.
And then they hide behind regulations that keep the small company or the individual company owner from competing with them.
And so, in the model of the book, these people are really the worst problem because at least the welfare recipient is honest about what they're doing.
Yeah, we've said that time and time again, Tom, on this show.
I truly believe that the enemies who can do us the most damage are the people who feign conservatism.
These are the people that pretend to line up on our side of the fence, but either do little to nothing to advance our ideology or they are, in fact, double agents, so to speak, not to get two James Bond on you.
But yeah, surely the people who are in our camp that are pulling us in the wrong direction are infinitely more of a threat than the people who we know are our enemies.
And so there you have it, the suit monkeys on the right.
What is, listen, we talk about this as well.
It seems as though if you're a paleoconservative or an American with nationalistic leanings, as certainly we have, that we are fighting a retreating battle on all fronts.
You try to pinpoint the most identifiable problem.
And truly, what is it?
Is it hate crimes?
Is it the opinion of hate crimes legislation?
Is it amnesty?
Is it the deterioration of our culture and the fact that it's frowned upon if European Americans assemble together and try to converse with one another?
You talk about this in your book.
What is, in your opinion, and in the opinion of your book, the fundamental problem that America faces?
Well, James, all of those things that you listed, they all stem from one single thing in my model.
And that is that for at least my entire life, we've experienced a deliberate and a systematic emasculation of this country.
It no longer is acceptable to be a man with a spine in America.
And from that flows all of the horrors and all of the evils that we see in our world.
And that's the one thing that we have to be able to fix.
All right, so it looks like we're long on problems and short on solutions.
And, you know, that's one of the biggest gripes I get from fans of this show: they say, you know, listen, we love you.
We agree with everything you say.
You talk too much about the problems, though.
There's got to be some silver linings out there.
There's got to be some good things going on that we can focus on.
Perhaps, if not equally, at least a couple of times a show, give us something that's going in our favor.
So how do we fix this, Tom?
How do we fix the emasculinization of America and the American male?
Can we fix what's wrong with America by voting Republican or Libertarian or even the Constitution Party?
Is it a solution along political lines that we should be searching for?
Well, I'd like to think that there could be a political solution, but I've seen enough elections go by, and we put some Republicans in office, and they consistently let us down.
They never reversed the course at all.
So I've become a little jaded at this point that the political solution is really going to be of much help.
What I think is more important is that no matter how many monkeys there are and whether or not they outnumber us producers, we still hold all the cards.
And so we need to take our advantage, which is we're the ones that produce the food.
We're the ones that produce all the value in the country.
And we need to use our advantage against their strength turned against them.
The strength of the monkeys is that there's just so many of them.
They can outvote us.
But all of them need to eat.
All of them need to get their checks from somewhere.
And if we take our ability to produce and withhold that from them long enough, we win.
Well, you know, this is something we were talking about before, and I believe the first hour of tonight's show.
And it's a pretty obvious conclusion to draw is that the parasites aren't really concerned about the life of the host, nor are they aware that if they destroy the host, they too will die.
It's kind of like a tick.
Tick doesn't care that he's going to give the dog Lyme disease or that he's going to drink the blood until he himself explodes.
Are the monkeys in our society completely oblivious to the fact that what they're doing to the producers is at their own detriment?
I'm not sure they think that far in the future.
If they were that brilliant about it, I think they would probably behave differently.
But I think they think that they have a chain around their neck and there's nothing we can do about it.
But the more they eat from us, the more of them there are.
At some point, the economy is going to have to take a turn.
And as long as we are suitably prepared to deal with each other fairly as free men in a free economy, we will prosper, we'll survive this, and they're the ones that are going to have a big problem.
So I really don't think that they see it yet, but soon they probably will.
And then, of course, you've got the suit-wearing monkeys who are aiding and betting them from inside or on campus.
A lot of problems to rectify.
We're going to see how many of them we can solve over the course of the next half hour or so as we continue on with Tom Ball, our featured guest for the evening on the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
He is the author of the new book, Starving the Monkeys.
Tom's going to be back with us on after the break.
Check out his website, starvingthemonkeys.com.
Set tight, everybody.
James Edwards and the political cesspool rolls on tonight on the Liberty News Radio Network right after these words from our sponsors.
Don't go away.
The Political Cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
Jump in, the political says, pull with James and the game.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Welcome back to the show.
We're continuing on now with Tom Ball, author of the new book that we're very much high on here in the Cesspool, Starving the Monkeys.
Check out his site at www.starvingthemonkeys.com.
The book talks about the parasite-host relationship that has developed here in America.
Instead of labeling it as such, Tom talks about the producers and what he calls the monkeys.
Now, Tom, you've tried to advertise your book on some well-known radio programs, but your ad has been refused.
Now, that doesn't surprise me because the truth is always controversial to the people who prefer deception.
Now, can you tell us about your experiences there, though?
This is a really surprising turn of events for me.
When I was listening to the Glenn Beck program for the last six months since he's been on Fox News, and I've been a fan of Glenn Beck for a long time, I still like a lot of the things he says.
He says some of the right things, but I was working on my book, banging out the last few chapters of the last several months, listening to a show, and every show he says, boy, I really wish someone would tell me how I'm wrong about things.
I want to know how I'm wrong.
And I'm like, okay, dude, I'm working on it.
I'm working on what I think is where you're missing the boat.
And so I get the book finished, and part of my marketing strategy was to go to the Glenn Beck program.
And so I went to Premier Radio, who runs the personality management for Glenn Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, a bunch of the big names.
And I wanted to advertise on their website.
Now, I'm not saying put me on your show, Glenn.
That wasn't my intention at all.
It's just simply, I want to buy advertising space on Premiere Radio and on GlennBank.com.
Well, we sent in some marketing material to the Glenn Beck people, and everything was going smoothly until they looked at the landing pages on starvingthemonkeys.com, and they sent me back this email that said, it looks like you don't agree with Glenn Beck.
And we're going to have to, you know, we really can't run your ad until we clear up these challenges.
And I was just blown away.
Here's this guy who, just about every show, he says, tell me how I'm wrong.
And I'm expecting I'm going to have an honest, open debate with this guy, you know, even if only through my website versus stuff he says on his show.
And he says, no, I'm not going to let you advertise.
And it's like, wow, where did this come from?
That's because what?
You were his true intellectual counterpart that might could have had a debate that would have exposed him.
See, my gut reaction was that they were going to see the word monkey in that and think offhand, as they are trained to do, that you're talking about minorities, which is obviously not what you're doing there.
But I was thinking, okay, maybe it's that.
Maybe it's that.
And they just have such a knee-wheer-jerk reaction to this sort of thing that that's what it is.
But it's just because you disagreed with him.
Yeah, and to his credit, we had told him the Starving the Monkeys book title.
They knew that the name of our company was Starve Monkey Press, so that wasn't what was slowing it up.
We were sending emails back and forth with Monkey floating around out there the whole time.
That was never a problem.
Right, that was not a problem.
And so then when it came down to the material that we were going to be pointing the ads at, that's when the brakes got put on.
Okay, all right.
So that being said, this is some of the problems you've had with the establishment, so-called conservative press.
So it goes without saying that you don't truly believe that guys like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck are really trying to wake people up as they say that they are.
What do you think their real agenda is there?
Well, after I got this shock, and it kind of woke me up running into this experience, I started looking at his show a little more closely, and it occurred to me that just like any other politician, what a lot of these guys are doing is just flicking the abacus and trying to figure out how many people they can appeal to in whatever group.
And it turns out that the middle-of-the-road, pasty, I'm going to put a fake smile on my face kind of message that doesn't really have any meat or content in it, that's what they're after.
They're after drawing in as many subscribers as they can without any concern whatsoever for what the real issues are that underlie all these problems.
Well, let me ask you this, Tom.
Would you say, now I agree with you.
Now, it goes without saying that I'm a big opponent of people like Limbaugh and Hannity, God knows Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and even Glenn Beck.
I think they're frauds to an extent because they, and perhaps the biggest frauds of all, because they, I don't know what they truly believe, I know what their guise is on their shows, what their role is, so to speak.
They put just enough truth into their message to lead all of our sheep in, people who would naturally flock to a program such as ours or a message such as yours, but they gravitate towards them because, well, they're on the big channel and they are giving you those little grains of salt here and there that makes you believe that they're really on the right side.
And I think they, as much as anyone, perhaps more than anyone, are the reason that America is in deep trouble.
And there's no question that America is in deep trouble, but you don't believe that this is the result of any sort of mass conspiracy.
Let me ask you, how did we get into this mess?
Well, I think it's a result that there's no consequences for stupid anymore.
The way this country was founded, you're supposed to be able to get out there and do the best you can, whatever you're skilled at, learn new skills, work hard, and build a future for yourself and family.
Well, we've gotten the idea that we've got to be charitable to everyone, no matter how stupid they are.
And so what has happened is a system of evolution has grown up so that the stupid people started multiplying out of control and just demanding from everyone who is making the good decisions and from everyone who is working hard.
And so it's a lot easier to be lazy and non-productive because you're going to get paid anyway.
And so a lot of these things that are going wrong in our society is because the monkeys have created a system for themselves by their very number where they have to go out and shove down any man with a spine in any direction they can.
Well, our philanthropy has been turned against us, as we say on this show from time to time.
The Greeks had the eternally wise statement, all things in moderation, even our virtues, can be used against us when carried to an extreme.
And I think that's obviously, to an extent, one of the reasons we are in the situation we're in today.
Another question for you, Tom, and I have a lot of them.
I hope we're able to get to all of them before we run out of time here because you're an infinitely interesting guy.
And as I say, again, we're really excited about your book.
But not to shift gears too radically.
I've got to know, when you were about to complete your PhD, you are PhD.
No, never finished my PhD.
Never finished it.
At Virginia Tech, this was years ago.
Your wife was very near her due date for your first child.
And if my facts are correct here, you were arrested, handcuffed, and threatened with months in jail.
Yet, you never touched, threatened, or harmed anyone.
How does something like that happen to a guy like you?
Well, it happens really easily by flipping off a government worker.
That's pretty much what it takes.
That's all you did?
That's all I did.
I flipped off a government worker who said that I owed Virginia Tech $3,000.
And I was going to school at the time as an Air Force Laboratory graduate fellow.
So my school was paid for by the Air Force.
And tuition was paid.
I was getting a stipend.
So they actually owed me money.
And the crone that was at the window was not interested at all in taking care of the problem.
Now, there's not a teenager on the face of the planet that hasn't done something like that.
Yet you're telling me that that's an offense punishable by jail time, or at least that's what they were telling you.
You didn't go to jail, I don't reckon.
Well, they were threatening pretty hard, and they had me post $1,500 bail.
I was going to have to go to trial for insulting the flower of Virginia womanhood.
And the charge officially was disorderly conduct, but it was pretty serious.
And it was only by doing a plea bargain to get out of it that I was finally able to put it to bed so that we can concentrate on the birth of our child.
Well, I'm glad that that was able to be rectified, but this just again shows the sort of Orwellian state that we find ourselves residents of in this day and age, 2009.
Another segment with Tom Ball coming up, ladies and gentlemen, sit tight.
The best is yet to come.
And then we're going to have some final thoughts at the end of this hour.
Tom Ball, author of Starving the Monkeys, check out his website.
Glenn Beck won't talk about him, but by God, we will here in the political cesspool, starvingthemonkeys.com.
We'll be back with its author 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.
We gotta get out of this place.
We're spending a few more final minutes with our good friend Tom Ball, author of Starving the Monkeys.
Starvingthemonkeys.com is the place where you can read more about this book.
I think the biggest endorsement we've heard so far is the fact that Glenn Beck and Premier Radio wouldn't run the ads promoting Starving the Monkeys.
So that in and of itself ought to play to our crowd.
And of course, all of the questions we're covering tonight can be read about in greater detail at greater length in the pages of his book.
Tom, right before the last break, we were talking about that unfortunate incident at Virginia Tech, something that came right out of the pages of 1984.
How about you telling us the story of where you were outrageously investigated for supposedly threatening the first President Bush while you were still in the service, all because of a few innocent remarks you made.
Fill in the blanks there if you don't mind.
James, I've been, I guess we could say, blessed with the opportunity to find out all the many ways that the Monkey Collective boxes us in.
And one of those was when I was in the Marine Corps, I discovered that if you're very good at what the military was created for, and if you disagree with the president, then that flags you almost immediately as a threat.
And so there was an incident where I had complained a couple of times, just normal bunk room chatter, about I thought the president was making some mistakes.
I didn't like his policy.
I didn't like how I had my vote frauded away.
I voted for him and immediately turned into a liberal.
Those sort of things bothered me, and I started talking about it.
Well, later, I found out that I was investigated by the Naval Investigative Service and the Secret Service because of those comments and also because I happen to be very good at being a Marine.
And it makes me think of all these guys in the military today who may have a different political point of view but aren't allowed to discuss it.
And I just noticed on the Southern Poverty Law Center website today, they've got this long list of military people on there that they say are white supremacists who there's no real correlation between that particular guy and anything he may have said, but they've got their picture on their website as if they're some kind of bad guy.
That's what they do, believe me.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous.
And the sad thing is, is that they're able to get away with it because they are on the side of the prevailing politically correct elite.
At least they are prevailing now.
Maybe we can do something about that.
Certainly that's what we're working to do is to restore America's destiny and turn it back over as your book talks about, as you talk about, Tom.
Well, the thing I would like to ask these people is if they are successful in running every man with a spine out of the military and by saying that you can't have your own political opinion.
It's like you can't have a political opinion that's against the prevailing winds and still be able to have an honorable career in the military.
That's just insane.
If they run all these guys out of the military, who do they think is going to defend them?
Well, they don't want people that think.
They certainly don't want people that think for themselves.
And this is another thing you talk about in your book, if I might segue over.
The idea factory.
What do you mean by the idea factory?
Well, I think that God has granted every single one of us as the unique thinking creatures on this planet with the ability to tend to our own affairs, to make decisions that are in our own best interest.
And in the book, I talk about this idea factory as a way of tapping into your ability to think.
But to do that, first you have to lift the veil off of all these lies that you've been told your whole life, things that have been programmed into you, so that you can finally stand up and say, you know, I'm going to make decisions that's good for myself and my family, and I'm going to learn how to trade with other people fairly.
And the idea factory is about tapping into that ability that we all have, even though some of us have been hammered by, say, public school or, you know, you're a problem, so you have to be shoved off into this category.
If you can learn to tap into that ability and throw off all that programming, then I think you can have a much more happy and successful life.
But as you also mentioned, there are a lot of things in play out there in society and in the media and in, well, behavior in general that are meant and successfully, they successfully achieve their goal and stifling creativity and stifling the ability for us to produce ideas and implement them.
Talk about how modern American society does just about everything it can to destroy that creativity, Tom.
Well, I think the most insidious thing is public school.
I homeschool my kids because I just can't stand the idea.
Hear, here.
And let me just also say that I'm a product of homeschooling, so I'm with you.
It shows, James, because you have a mind of your own.
Well, thank you, Tom.
And, you know, I don't think I say this in all sincerity, not to get off the beaten path here.
I just don't think I'd be where I am today, wherever that is, if it wasn't for homeschooling.
I think everything that I am in terms of a rugged individual comes from the fact that my parents made that decision.
But anyway, not to digress.
Continue on.
And the next thing that really gets in the way of people thinking for themselves is the job environment they have to go to.
It's often more important that you don't upset anybody than it is that you get anything done.
And so we have these bloated bureaucracies of HR departments themselves staffed with suit monkeys that exist only because of rules that make you have to be watched all day long.
All of these institutions that don't they don't grow another single ear corn.
They don't raise another chicken.
They don't make another machine part.
They don't weld another bead.
They don't deliver another load.
All of these things are just piled on top of us day after day to make us shut up and stay in our place.
Well, with that being the case, I mean, obviously, that's not anything that's going to instill any degree of encouragement or hope into our people.
If you could grab your crystal ball for us, Mr. Baugh, and tell me what you see in the future.
What kind of future do we see 5, 10, 15 years from now if the current trends don't don't stop?
Well, I think that there's going to be three phases.
We're already in the first phase right now, and that's a grinding collapse.
And it can either go faster or slower.
I'm a proponent of a fast collapse because if it goes slowly, we're going to be in a long-term dark age, I think.
But if we can make it go quicker before all the monkeys have burned all the buildings down for firewood and they're raising goats in the power plants and they're all rusted up and we can't use them, the faster we can make things go down, the more stuff there will be for those of us who are productive and understand how to do things to be able to build it back up.
The second phase will be that dark age, whether it's a mini dark age or a longer one.
The third phase, when we climb out of that, if we have learned beforehand where value comes from, where money comes from, how we are intended to work in harmony with each other, in peace with each other, and trade our best value for the best value of someone else, if we can learn those lessons before we enter that dark age, we're going to come out the other side of this storm in pretty good shape.
And then we won't be burdened by all the monkeys who are sucking blood out of our veins all day long.
Well, let me ask you this in closing, because this is perhaps the most important question of the interview.
This is the part where we actually ask about solutions and answer to the extent that you can, Tom.
And for the rest of the answers, folks are going to have to read the book.
But your ideas about preparing for the inevitable collapse of America are radically different from some of the other guests we've had on this show, some of the other doomsayers, for lack of a better term.
And I use that word doomsayer with all due respect in your case, Tom, because you are pretty upfront with the belief that you have that America as we know it is, in fact, doomed.
But you have a whole bunch of different ideas when it comes to preparing for that.
Talk about that.
And again, I say for the rest of the solutions, folks are just going to have to go to starvingthemonkeys.com and buy the book and read for themselves.
But what can we do to prepare for the collapse and better enable ourselves to climb out of it when it's over?
The most important thing is no matter what your age, you've got to start doing what the homeschoolers are doing.
And what they do is they teach their kids the classical education.
You have to learn classical economics by Adam Smith, for example.
Not this new wave government economics, but how economics was originally intended to work.
You have to learn math.
You have to learn the sciences.
You have to learn biology.
You have to learn chemistry.
You have to teach yourself all those subjects that were withheld from you when you were in school.
And I would imagine that this is expounded upon in greater depth and detail in your book.
And Tom, if I could, we've said it quite a few times.
I want to hear it from you.
The website one more time and perhaps anything that we failed to cover that you think would be of particular interest to our audience before you go.
I know you have a very busy schedule.
Well, James, I think you've done a really, really great job of hitting all the high points.
The website, if people are interested in the book, is starvingthemonkeys.com.
Well, folks, if for no other reason, let me give you two to encourage you to go buy this book.
Number one is the fact that it's on its way to me right now.
I guess three reasons.
Number two, Glenn Beck and Premiere Radio wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.
And number three, Tom Ball agreed to an interview on this program because he believes you are an audience that needs to read this book, and I agree.
So go to his website, starvingthemonkeys.com.
And Tom, if you would, send us a 60-second ad for your book, and we'll play it on our show just despite Glenn Beck.
I'll do that, James.
Thank you so much.
Anytime.
Tom Ball, everybody, starvingthemonkeys.com.
The book is Starving the Monkeys.
And Tom, please do stay in touch and let us know what we can do to be of further service.
We'll keep tabs on you.
I will, James.
Thank you.
Tom Ball, everybody.
We got one more segment in the Political Cessboal this evening until we have to bid you adieu again until next week.
But don't go anywhere.
Some final thoughts.
Another quick story that we've been talking about for a while.
The Hispanic, the Hispanics Keep Outsigned from a 72-year-old woman who is taking a stand that most 20-year-old men won't do.
We'll talk about her and more when the political cesspool concludes.
Welcome back.

And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Welcome back to the final segment of tonight's live broadcast of the award-winning Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
Thanks again to Tom Ball for being our featured guest for the evening.
We are going to open up the phone lines now for one last time tonight.

1-866-986 News.
As my co-host Bill Rowland mentioned earlier in the show, as we're winding down tonight's program, go ahead and make plans to tune in next week for our next live show on Saturday, August 8th.
It very well could be the biggest show we've ever had.
We've had a lot of big ones, you know.
But I think our first guest next week, if all goes according to plan, and if schedules don't change and we have to rearrange, or you never know what could happen.
This is live radio, but if all goes according to plan right now, we are going to have a man who is, without a doubt, our most accomplished guest to date.
And that carries a lot of weight, or at least it should.
Keep in mind, we have interviewed some very big names on this show, people like Pat Buchanan and Paul Craig Roberts.
And we've had presidential candidates on this show.
We've had former treasurers of the United States on this show.
A litany of elected officials and entertainers, authors, PhDs.
The man we're having on the show next week is quite possibly the most accomplished guest we've ever had.
And so we're looking forward to that, a man of international renown.
So go ahead and make plans.
And we have no doubt that the hype will live up to what we deliver to you next week, should the schedule not be changed.
Now, that being said, don't forget, quick reminder, the great folks at Liberty News Radio have opened up the broadcast archive.

Quick story now out of Texas in a place called, I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly, Azel, Texas, a small town near Fort Worth.
A 72-year-old woman who's got the crazy idea that I don't know how she could believe this, that free speech still exists in America, has put a sign up on her house that says, quote, Hispanics keep out.
72-year-old woman puts a sign on her own house, her own property, Hispanics Keep Out.
Well, as you might imagine, the Dallas media dutifully went out to harass her and hopefully stir up violence against her, but she refused to apologize and back down.
We can't even get strong men to do that.
But we've got a 72-year-old woman who did just that.
The so-called reporter asked her, why not just put up a sign that says keep out without singling out the Hispanics?
She replied on record that she has no desire to keep everyone out, just Hispanics.
And that's why the sign says what it says.
Makes sense to me.
And I read now from the Dallas newspaper.
A Hispanics Keep Out sign displayed on the front of a home has stirred up unease for some residents in the Tarrant County neighborhood.
It does offend people, said Dahlia Scarborough, a neighbor.
It's offensive, but it's their property, end quote.
Many residents, the story continues, said that they would like to see the sign, which has been up for months, taken down.
Quote, well, you know, I don't care, said a 72-year-old woman who answered the door at the home.
I'm upset about them coming over here illegally.
The woman did not want to disclose her name.
We think it's our privilege as an American to protect our property, she said.
This is our property.
Listen, I'm with this woman 100%.
I wish, again, I say our men should have the kind of courage that she has.
When asked if it would be better to post a sign that simply said, keep out, the homeowner said, I don't want to keep everybody out, okay?
Just the people who are here illegally.
Police said the sign does not violate any laws, and it is an expression of freedom of speech.
However, it's an expression the mayor said is not shared by most in town.
Yeah, right.
There have been no official complaints to the authorities as a result of the sign.
Well, we know everybody agrees with this woman.
They're either too scared to say something or they're just hiding in their homes and agreeing with her in silence.
But my point is no one has complained about the sign to the authorities, and they have no legal grounds to complain.
Yet the media, the media still felt that this story was newsworthy.
Meanwhile, let me tell you a story that the news in Dallas isn't reporting, and the news anywhere for that matter isn't reporting.
Three mayors of fairly large cities, several other Democratic politicians, and five rabbis were arrested for laundering millions and millions of dollars through Israel and Jewish charities, quote unquote, and hardly anyone in the media will touch this story.
Now, this is a situation where mayors and Democratic politicians and five rabbis are arrested for laundering millions of dollars through so-called charities.
It's not a story, but a 72-year-old woman who wants to enforce the law wants illegal aliens kept out of town and off of her yard.
That's a story.
But major conservative bloggers would normally be raising all kinds of hell about three Democratic mayors, along with a bunch of other Democratic politicians being in eruption and being arrested, I should say, in a corruption scheme.
But since it involves Jewish folks, their lips are pretty much sealed on the matter, but not here in the political cesspool where freedom of speech guides are every move.
We have a final caller before the sand runs out of the hourglass.
Clint, is that you in Missouri?
Oh, Tina, excuse me, Tina in Missouri.
Tina, you're on the political cesspool.
Hi, James.
I just wanted to say hi.
Well, how's it going tonight?
I know this, Tina.
That's for sure.
What are you doing?
Oh, just on the internet.
Well, you know, this is a caller.
This is a friend of ours from a long, long time.
My wife and I both know her and her husband.
They're great people, great, great people.
Now, Tina, you've been listening to this show for, what, three or four years now?
And this is your first time to ever call in.
What's up with that?
Well, actually, it's been probably second or third time.
Second or third?
Well, I must not have been here the other night.
Now, I know Mark's called in.
Yeah.
I don't remember you calling.
I must have amnesia.
I just wanted to say hi and hopefully see you for Fright Fest.
Well, Fright Fest.
Now, this is another.
Let's go ahead and plug this.
We have a minute left, Tina.
Fright Fest in St. Louis.
If you've never been, ladies and gentlemen, you got to go.
You got to go quick before Six Flags runs out of business.
But Tina, we're going to be there and we'll, of course, see you at the CFCC board meeting in Nashville.
Everyone's, of course, invited to that as well.
Anywhere I go, my fans are welcome.
And Tina, you're more than just that.
You're a personal friend.
I appreciate you calling in.
Hey, listen, if you heard early in the show, apparently we have a Facebook fan page now.
Try to find it.
I haven't been able to.
Try to find it and sign up and we'll meet in the middle.
We'll congregate on Facebook before we go to St. Louis.
Okay.
All right.
Well, you have a good night, Tina, and good night to everyone else out there listening to the Political Cesspool.
Thanks so much for calling in, and please do tell Mark Hello.
And we'll see you next week, everybody.
We are flat out of time for Bill Rowland, Eddie, the Bombardier Miller, Winston Smith, and the rest of the staff and crew of the Political Assessable Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards, reminding you to live life the way we do without retreat, surrender, or apology.
God bless you, everybody, and good night.
Thanks for joining us tonight in the Political Cesspool.
