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 show, everyone.
Tonight's second hour is now in session.
You are in the Political Cesspool, and I am your host, James Edwards.
It's Saturday evening, November 21st, 2009.
Another year in the history of the world soon to be history, so to speak.
Thanksgiving coming up next week, Christmas.
What a great time of year.
Christmas is coming up.
And please remember the reason of the season as we head into this very blessed time of year.
For our people, I want to thank you again for tuning in this evening as we come to you live from AM 1380 WLRM Radio Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, and the Liberty News Radio Network, our affiliates on LNR from coast to coast.
Thank you for tuning in to my show this evening.
It's great to have you with me.
And I tell you, Keith Alexander, what a talent.
What a real gem that man is.
What great depth and analysis and commentary he brings to the program each and every Saturday night when we're here with you live.
Keith Alexander, of course, just one of many people who work each week to make this show possible.
Of course, I guess the hosting staff of this program gets most of the credit, myself and Keith, of course, along with Bill Rowland and Mainstays, Winston Smith, and Eddie the Bombardier Miller.
That's the hosting staff.
But certainly we have our team in Utah with Liberty News Radio.
Great, great people to work with.
We have never been more happy than we are with Liberty News, and they're doing such a great job, and they deserve your support.
And then, of course, there's my web team and the people who help me with the blog and everything else.
So there's about 20 people that work each and every week to make this show a possibility for you to listen to on Saturday nights.
And for that, we hope we've earned your support, your love, and your trust.
We work hard to bring you a message with this program that you're not getting on any other mainstream media outlet.
And we're very proud of the job that we've done for over five years now.
And it's been a very celebrated program, very acclaimed or notorious, depending on your political persuasion.
But nevertheless, here we are stronger than ever before.
And Keith Alexander, he and I, I don't think we've ever, and I mean ever in the history of this show, exhausted a topic more than we did our analysis of The Blind Side, that movie we were talking about during the first hour.
I don't think we've ever talked about a single subject for as many minutes as we did that movie.
But I had a good time doing it, and I hope you enjoyed it because we certainly enjoyed presenting that to you.
And of course, a little special.
It's close to home.
I went to the school at which this movie focuses and a little special for me.
So, and of course, it was filthy enough of a story to warrant its mentioning on the political cesspool, or I shouldn't say filthy, perhaps damaging or detrimental enough for the psyche of our people that it warranted such analysis on the show.
But I tell you, I got a lot to talk about tonight.
Now, we don't typically take calls.
We very rarely open up the phone lines on this show only because we jealously guard our time.
There's no other radio program in the world that does what we do.
So we have to try to get you as much information as possible in the time that we have each week, and we do the best job that we can.
But God knows one thing is true.
This show isn't possible.
I mentioned a lot of people work behind the scenes to make this show possible.
They do their job.
We do our job.
But the show is here because of you, ladies and gentlemen.
There would be no political cesspool radio program if it wasn't for the support we received from you and the listening audience.
We want you to know that we know, understand, and appreciate that fact.
We are here because your support allows us to continue our work.
And the moment that we provide to you a substandard program or a program that isn't quite as hard-hitting or truth-telling as you're accustomed to, you would perhaps withdraw that support.
So we always work hard to give you the very best because you deserve the very best.
And there should be one program in this country that speaks for the European American majority.
We're that show.
We don't exist without you, and we want to make you a part of this show.
We so often, as I said, don't open up the phone lines, but we want to open up the phone lines tonight because you are the show.
There is no show without you, so therefore you should play a bigger role in that.
And because of that, we don't have any guests tonight.
And as far as I know, unless Eddie or Winston make an unscheduled appearance on the program or walk into the studio here, I'm going to be the only host for the next two hours.
So that being said, I got a lot to talk about.
Don't get me wrong.
So if you don't call in, we're not going to sink.
But I'd like to make you a part of the program this evening.
We can do sort of an open mic thing.
It's, you know, sort of a holiday type edition of the Cesspool.
Thanksgiving coming up on Thursday.
People are getting ready.
So we're going to do things a little bit more fun and festive and different than our standard modus operandi.
So if you want to call in, anything you want to talk about, let's talk about it.
Let's have fun tonight over the course of the next two hours.
Let's let you determine which course this program will chart this evening.
Give me a call here on Liberty News Radio.
The lines are open as of now.
1-866-986-News.
That's the toll-free number to be on the air with me, James Edwards, in the political cesspool.
1-866-986-News.
Any question you want to ask, any topic you want to talk about, we'll do our best to get it figured out and solve all of the problems in the world before we sign off this evening.
Give me a call, 1-866-986-News.
Now, before we go into the next segment after the commercial break, while I'm waiting your calls, we will momentarily get off the beaten path before we open up a hot topic.
Keith Alexander and I had about seven different topics we were going to talk about during that first hour, and it just turned out that the blind side took the entire hour to talk about, but we had so much on our plate we wanted to talk about.
One of the things was this booklet.
We mentioned this booklet last week, but we're about to be doing a very big promotion of this all-new political cesspool produced book, Liberalism and its Effect on American Society.
If you log on to our internet headquarters, thepolitical cesspool.org, www.thepolitical cesspool.org, if you go to our website, you will find on the secondary blog, not the main blog that gets all the attention, but we have a secondary blog, a news and commentary blog and can be found at the bottom right-hand corner of our website.
If you go to that, you will see a new entry posted last night entitled, Join the Political Cesspool's 2009 Christmas Fund Drive.
And if you donate to the Political Cesspool between now and Christmas Day, December 25th, our Christmas gift to you will be this booklet, Liberalism and its Effect on American Society.
Now, we have done many promotions over the course of our history in this show for the last five years.
We've done a lot of different promotions.
We've given away autographed books of Pat Buchanan.
We've sent out a lot of his books.
We're always offering some sort of incentive to help motivate you to donate to this show because, let's face it, we're politically incorrect.
We tell the truth.
So, therefore, we can't get corporate sponsors like Coca-Cola and Ford.
I bet if Henry Ford was still alive, we could get his support, but he's not.
So we can't get the big corporate sponsors.
So therefore, we rely on the fans of this show.
We rely on listener support.
And in order to get it, in addition to giving you a good quality program, we'd like to offer and send this from time to time.
But for the first time in the history of the show, as I was saying, we are offering an in-house produced item.
This is a first.
This is a booklet.
It's a short read, but it is a very in-depth and solid read.
It's a 32-page booklet entitled Liberalism and Its Effect on American Society.
And what makes this booklet so special is that, number one, you'll get it if you donate to the show over the course of the next couple of weeks between now and Christmas Day.
But what makes this book so special is that it's a collaborative effort put together by the hosting staff of the Political Cesspool.
We wrote this book.
Well, Keith really wrote the book, but we, you know, provided him oral support, I guess.
But it contains sort of a written copy, a written assessment of all of the issues that we talk about on the show.
So if you love our show, you'll love the booklet.
It's basically the written synopsis of all of the issues we cover in spoken form on the airwaves every Saturday.
We talk about the Christian faith.
We talk about family.
We talk about government, commerce, education, arts and entertainment.
We talk about the media.
We provide a great preface and an afterword, all packed in.
And I mean, it is jam-packed with good, well-written stuff.
Not to tutor on horn too much.
Liberalism and its effect on American society.
This is our Christmas gift to anyone who donates to our radio program between now and Christmas Day.
Go to thepoliticals, Pool.org, as I was mentioning, and click on the blog entry on the lower right-hand corner entitled Join TPC's 2009 Christmas Fund Drive.
You donate to us, you will get this book, but you got to do it before Christmas.
We're excited about it.
We're going to be doing a big promotion of this over the course of the next couple of weeks.
We want you to have it.
And I tell you, your contributions and support will allow us to enter in our sixth year of broadcasting excellence on even more solid ground.
So go check out our website, thepoliticalspool.org, and get this booklet.
We just got the revised second edition in from the printer about a week ago, and we have hundreds of copies ready to send out to you, our loyal listeners.
So go read more about it and get on board.
We're going to have a good time between now and Christmas Day.
All right, we got to take a break.
I'm going to get back on topic when we return.
Sit tight, everybody.
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.
I forgot to tell you in our shameless promotion of our book, Liberalism and Its Effect on American Society, that not only you'll get it if you donate to the show between now and Christmas, but we will personalize it and it will be hand signed by each member of the Political Cesspool hosting staff, myself, Keith, Bill, Winston, and Eddie.
So go to thepolitical Cesspool.org, read about it, and get your copy today.
Now, I also told you that we are going to be taking calls tonight, 1-866-986 News.
I got a lot of news to cover with you, but you're going to come first this evening.
And that being said, let's go to Minnesota, Phil in Minnesota.
Phil, how are you?
I'm doing all right, James.
How are you tonight?
Good to talk to you, my friend.
I'm doing pretty good, actually, for a change.
I want to appreciate the, you know, the thought that you, with Christmas cards that you send me.
And just I'm being loyal to your radio.
I listen to you every night.
Usually archives, but I was wondering, about three years ago, I asked you about David Duke, and you got him on the show.
Is he going to be on the show again?
Well, you know, I talked to David.
It's interesting you mentioned that.
Certainly he can be on anytime our schedules coincide.
He was actually in Memphis not too long ago, as you know, last year in November, and he and I are friends, I don't mind saying.
And I speak with him quite regularly.
The thing is, David's over in Europe, so there's quite a bit of time differential, and it's hard for us to tape interviews.
We like for the benefit of our audience to have all of our interviews conducted live.
So it's just a matter of us working out of time that's mutually beneficial.
Is there a reason why he stays in Europe?
Is he just life threatened over here in the United States?
Or I don't know if that's kind of off-the-wall answer.
No, listen, listen, listen.
No, no, Phil, it's not off the wall at all.
This is open mic night.
And if I have any insight or knowledge of any certain question, nothing's out of bounds this evening.
Anything that you in the audience want to talk about, feel free to ask it.
So, no, I think David's just more comfortable over there right now.
He lives well.
He lectures.
He's quite respected over there.
Now, he did commence on, I think, a 20-city speaking tour here in the United States quite recently.
He's back overseas at this time, but he was over here for a well-received speaking tour with Culminated.
He gave a speech last week in Washington, D.C. at the biannual Barnes Review Conference, which is a great symposium of thought and free speech for our people.
But no, I just think he's more comfortable over there.
He maintains homes here in the United States, and he comes over here for visits and business quite often.
But I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.
I really didn't ask him.
Well, really, the reason why David Duke, I started listening to him before I listened to you, James, and he had your site on his site, Political Assess Pool.
And by listening to his site, that's how I got turned on to you.
And I'll tell you, for a young man.
Are you still with me, Phil?
Great job.
Denny, am I still with you?
Yeah, you're still with me.
Okay, I think Phil's breaking up then.
Phil, if you're getting this call back in, we seem to have lost you.
I'm not hearing him, Denny, in my head.
Oh, you can't hear me now?
No, okay, you're back, Phil.
I hear you now.
Okay.
Just, you know, like I said, I used to listen to David Duke, and I still do.
I get on his site.
Well, normally it's not an audio like yours, but he talked about the political cesspools as far as one of the sites for European Americans.
And I'll tell you, I've learned so much from you.
I'm an older guy.
I'm in my 50s, but I wasn't really around a political family like it seems like you have been.
And I really appreciate everything you've done.
And I'd just like to see you get David Duke on there because I really have a lot of respect for him, too.
And just Keith Alexanders is something else, man.
I listen to you the first hour with Keith Alexander.
And this man is really knowledgeable.
I just can't believe how much he knows.
Yeah, he makes me look good.
I tell you, I try to surround myself with talent, Phil.
It makes the show that much better.
And I appreciate you saying that.
I know Keith is going to get a kick out of hearing you say that.
And I couldn't agree with you more.
Keith has really become quite an anchor on this program.
I get all the praise and adulation because I founded this show, and I guess I'm the primary host.
But I know where my bread's buttered, and Keith really compliments the effort we have here.
Yeah, you know, another thing about you, though, your thought.
I mean, just I know your show is not real big, but you're gaining popularity.
But just the thought of you just sending out Christmas cards, like I said earlier, just really brings a lot of warmth in my heart, you know, that you're out there, you care about people, you care about the European American, and it really makes me feel good.
You know, if you pay attention to the people who hate our country and the people who hate Christianity and the people who hate everything that we stand for, they would say that this program and our entire thought process is motivated by hate.
When in fact, the quite opposite is entirely true.
Everything I do is done, first of all, as a volunteer.
We don't get paid.
We ask people to donate to the program so we can cover the cost of production.
But everything we do is done because we have such an intense loyalty and devotion and love for our people.
And I tell you, you know, when people send in $10 checks, $25 money orders, whatever they can afford to help keep this show on the air, you don't know how much that means to us.
And everyone who has ever sent in a donation to this program from October 26, 2004, all the way up to just this last week, we keep those addresses and we make sure we send them a Christmas card every year.
I mean, that's the least we can do.
And we try, you know, I know every person in the public eye, you know, feigns appreciation for their supporters, but it's really true with us.
And, you know, I really appreciate, Phil, you know, when you called in, I had no idea what you were going to say, if you were going to be supportive or confrontational.
But I tell you, you've really warmed my heart to know that something so small makes a difference for you.
I mean, that's why we do it.
I don't know if you remember, you know, I've been, let's say, for about three years.
I don't know if you remember from, of course, Phil's Minneapolis.
There's probably a lot of Phil's in Indianapolis that I don't know if they've ever called in, but I haven't supported because I got laid off, but I've been called back.
And will you send those envelopes?
And I'll tell you the next time I'll make a donation of 50 bucks.
Well, I appreciate that, Phil, very much.
I mean, you don't know how much that helps us.
And certainly it does.
And we hope that people who do, who are kind enough to donate to the program will see us as good stewards of their sacrifice.
Because listen, I come, you know, we were talking in the first hour.
My parents paid a lot of money for me to go to private school, but it wasn't because we had a lot of money, let me tell you.
It was because they worked very hard and sacrificed extensively for me to have the privilege of going to a private school because they loved us.
And I know what sacrifice is.
We've never had a lot.
And as much as I appreciated it from my parents, I appreciate it equally as much from men like you who are out there working for a living, keeping up, you know, making America what it is.
So all that stuff is really heartfelt.
And, you know, without sounding redundant, I just can't thank you enough.
Okay.
Nice talking to Jay.
I'll get off the phone and listen to you.
Thank you, buddy.
Thanks for the call.
And we will continue to serve and hopefully we'll do good by you.
Phil from Minnesota.
Can you tell me the chapter of a conservative, what is that?
I'm lost words now.
Constitution Conservative.
Yeah, Council of Conservative Citizens.
Can you tell me what that is in Indianapolis?
Because I tried to look at that.
It is at Indiana.
Is it in Indianapolis or where is it located at in Indiana?
I'll tell you what.
Do you have a pen and paper?
Yeah, I do.
Here's what I'm going to do, and I don't mind this doing over the phone or excuse me, over the radio program because it's a public number.
What you need to do, and anyone out there who's interested in joining the Council of Conservative Citizens, this is the one organization that I am actively involved in because I think that they do good work and provide positive results for our people.
If you're interested in joining the CFCC, Phil, what you would need to do is call in the national headquarters and say, you know, you were listening to the political cesspool.
You heard James promoting the council.
You want to get in touch with their chapter leader in your area and just tell Gordon Baum is the CEO.
He'll be the guy you talk to.
Tell Gordon you want to get in touch with your local chapter, and he'll give you that contact information.
I don't have it, but I do have the number for the national office, and here it is.
It is 636.
They're based in St. Louis.
636-940-8474.
And again, that's the CFCC National Headquarters, 636-940-8474.
8474.
Okay, James, you're doing a great job, my man.
Thank you, my friend.
You take care.
We'll talk to you again.
Okay, you have a good night.
All right, Denny, how much time we got left?
Apparently none.
We're going to take a break.
We'll take more calls right after this.
1866-986 News.
That's my number.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
To get 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.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
James Edwards here with you.
Aren't we having a good laid-back time tonight?
I want you to call in and talk to me.
I want to hear from you.
1-866-986 News.
I can't thank Phil enough for the call that he gave to us.
And by the way, those Christmas cards are going to be going out next week.
I was actually working on them for the past month.
It takes us quite a while to get everybody addressed.
We have pretty substantial mailing lists, but they'll be going out in a couple of days, as a matter of fact.
So stay tuned for that.
But if you want to talk to me, you don't have to be as nice as Phil.
I'll take on challengers if I have to, but I would love to hear from you.
1866-986 News.
I do want to address one thing that Phil mentioned in my relationship with David Duke.
It was David Duke invited me before this show.
I had run for state representative here in the Memphis area back in 2002.
We've talked about that before.
I ran as an independent, very naive, very naive.
I ran as an independent and ended up getting 20% of the vote, being outspent about $100,000 to $10,000, got 20% of the vote running against the Speaker of the House, which was a fairly good showing for a 20-year-old at the time.
Well, David Duke picked up on the fact that I had run.
He invited me to give a speech at one of his conferences in New Orleans back in 2004, which was a couple of months before this show kicked off.
And he gave me support.
And because of Duke, I met a lot of people who would be very influential in the development and cultivation of this program, people like Sam Dixon and many others.
Now that the show has become a success, we have received interest from CNN, Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, London Times, Fox News, this show as it's a very mainstream show now.
And because of that, some people write in from time to time saying you got to distance yourself from the more controversial figures of the movement.
And to them, I would say simply this, with all due respect, I don't abandon my friends.
I'm fiercely loyal.
Certainly, it might be more politically expedient to shed yourself of some of the quote-unquote more controversial figures.
But to me, what David Duke says isn't controversial at all.
It might be controversial if I believed the very untrue character defamations that are leveled against him by the establishment media.
But knowing him personally and knowing what he has said, I've known him for five, six years now, personally, as a friend.
And he's done nothing that would warrant me abandoning him, and it will never happen.
I don't abandon my friends.
And that is a character trait, and I hope a quality that our people can apply in their daily lives.
We certainly need more solidarity in this movement, in this America-first alternative right movement, if you will.
And that's something that I try to do in my own life.
That being said, we've got another caller here.
Didn't he where was he from again?
A caller from Michigan, Michigan, you're on the line.
Hi, this is John.
I was calling to speak to you, Mr. Edward.
Oh, geez, about, gosh, it may be a month or two ago.
You guys were talking about California, and I can't remember who was the co-host.
You never know, week to week around here.
Yeah, yeah.
And you guys did a really good job of pointing out that they wrote a major article about the problems that they're going on out there, and that they failed to mention the impact of the illegal immigrants.
And, you know, they're writing about the economic problems, the social problems, so on and so forth.
But nowhere was it to be found that these people are, you know, they're part of the strength, you know, the major part of the strength.
And the point that you guys both missed, and that I'd like to point out is if we believe or are to believe the mythology of this stuff, that the illegals are there.
California should be thriving.
It's basking in diversity.
So.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, perhaps we didn't take it to the last full measure and bring it around full circle to the extent that it should have been done.
But I remember that now that you mentioned it, that was quite a few weeks ago now.
But we had, obviously, all of the stories that we bring to your attention on this program are stories that we have researched and documented on our blog with further reference, further resource material.
We link you over to the originating articles and so on and so forth.
We like to be very thorough.
And that was something, obviously, as every other item for commentary is on this program, something that we had posted on our blog.
And I very much remember that segment.
And yes, there was an article.
I don't remember what publication it was in at this point, but it was just an epic about the problems of California and why these problems exist.
And, as you mentioned, in no point whatsoever in that article do they mention the only two words that they needed to say, illegal immigration.
They could have just said, here's why California is a hellhole, illegal immigration.
And that could have been the end of the article and it would have made perfect sense and it would have been very, very detailed, I think.
But but you're right if, if diversity and multiculturalism was such a strength, California should be the Garden Of Eden by now.
They shouldn't have any of these problems, and not only should they not have any problems, they should be running circles around the rest of us in terms of surplus, in terms Of, you know, just great feel-good joy and so on and so forth.
Every attribute that a state could have, California should be, as you said, a washing it.
But they're not, are they?
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, again, we're demonstrating absurdity with absurdity.
Is why would anybody even have to work?
It'd be a paradise.
Exactly right.
I mean, I just don't understand it.
But as we've said before, Garden of Eden.
As we've said before on this show, and to hijack a statement from one of my early mentors, Bob Whitaker, nothing liberals do ever works.
So not only does it not work, it fails miserably, yet they are the emperor who has no clothes.
We're all supposed to pretend that the emperor is not naked, and that's what these people in the media do, except for people on this show, of course, which makes our show so unique, and which is, of course, one of the major reasons we have risen from obscurity to somewhat of a national player in conservative politics.
Sure.
So anyway, thanks for the call.
Yes, thank you for reminding me of that topic.
It just goes to show that the broadcast archives can be a treasure.
There are, you know, once we do a show, it's not necessarily outdated.
There are a lot of good shows back there, and we encourage people to go and look for them.
So thank you.
Thank you for the call.
Hey, one quick other point.
Did you manage to catch, oh, and gosh, this was probably about mid-October, Margaret Hoover on Fox had a little meltdown over the man who wouldn't let the black man and white woman get married in Louisiana.
Right.
You know, we didn't, believe it or not, I think we might have so much news comes in and out of our, you know, comes on and off of our desk.
We might have briefly mentioned that on the on the blog, but I don't know if we ever covered that on the on the program.
That was a pretty big story, and obviously that's something that's right up our alley because these are stories that no other mainstream broadcast dare talk about.
But yes, there was that very old judge down in Louisiana who said very respectfully that he just didn't agree with it, so therefore he wasn't going to do it, but they could go to another Justice of the Peace and be married.
And of course, he called the seventh level of hell for that.
But what was your question?
I know the story you're talking about.
What was the point?
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, when the whole controversy was going on, I managed to catch, of all people, Herbert Hoover's granddaughter.
No kidding.
Yes.
On the Fox News, she's a regular commentator.
Margaret Hoover.
Oh, my goodness, James.
I've never seen anything quite like that.
For a so-called conservative, she truly, truly demonstrated her.
Yeah, well, I mean, those Fox News conservatives.
The woman was practically jumping out of her chair, rolling her eyes.
And if she'd have had her way on this show, the poor judge down there, he'd have been drawn and quartered.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, that just goes to show I'm very hesitant to label myself as a conservative.
I am a conservative, and I dare say you are too, in the true sense of the word, in the paleoconservative sense of the word.
But I hesitate to call myself a conservative because you have these so-called Fox News conservatives, which are Trotskyites.
They're neoconservatives.
And they are, in my opinion, people like Margaret Hoover and Sean Hannity, they are worse than liberals.
I mean, they give you just enough truth to make you believe that they're fighting for you, and so therefore they gain your loyalty from the people who don't really know too much.
They're very, very dangerous.
And it doesn't surprise me at all that any regular Fox News commentator would just go berserk over a righteous stand such as that.
But that's what you've got to deal with.
So from time to time, we have to qualify our statements.
Yeah, we're conservatives, but we are paleoconservatives, or we're alternative right conservatives, or whatever, whatever you want to call us.
I mean, we're constitutionalists.
We are, I guess, what conservatives would have been back in the 1950s, back when America was still sane and had a pulse.
But nevertheless, we're about to take a break.
I really appreciate your call, my friend, and thank you for tuning in.
Yeah, keep doing a good job, James.
We're going to do our best, and we're going to continue to take calls on the other side of this commercial break, which is rapidly forthcoming.
1-866-986 News.
We'll be back right after this.
1-866-986 News.
Open mic night in the cesspool.
Don't go away.
The Political Cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
We gotta get out of this place.
If it's the last thing we ever do, we gotta get out of this place.
Welcome back to get on the political cesspool call.
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.
I tell you what, we got to do what we got to do is have more open mic nights.
And I'm going to write an email.
We're going to set something up maybe sometime in December.
Maybe one week in December, we're just going to throw everything aside.
Like I said, I got a stack of papers here thicker than Morris D's divorce decree of issues that I wanted to bring to your attention tonight.
I mean, really hot-button contemporary stuff that deserves political assessbool analysis.
But we're getting too many phone calls.
And I love it.
I mean, like I said, a lot of time we don't take phone calls.
We need to take more phone calls.
And tonight, you're burning me up.
And I'm really appreciative to know that you want to be on the line.
So we're going to continue to take calls for as long as we can.
And we've got quite a lineup now of people called in, quite a waiting list.
But keep calling.
We're going to get to as many people as we can as quickly as we can.
But we are going to, I think I've made the determination during the break that at some point in December, we're going to advertise an all-open mic night.
We'll do that sometime before Christmas because this is fun and we don't do it enough.
Helen from Memphis, let's go to a local listener right here in town, our home headquarters of Memphis, Tennessee, good old Memphis.
Helen, are you there?
Yes, I am.
How are you doing, Helen?
I'm doing fine.
What can I do for you?
Well, I want to know if you're aware of a totally unwarranted attack being made upon one of our very true patriot conservative constitutionalist, whatever you'd like to call him.
Mike Parsons is in trial right now.
Well, not today, but it's still ongoing.
On a totally bogus charge, he was attacked.
His dog was killed.
Shots were fired towards him and his wife at their property.
And he is the one who was arrested as he tried to make a citizen's arrest on the men who did it.
You know, believe it or not, Helen, of course, I know Mike, and I think Mike's a good guy.
He also has a radio program here locally on TV.
He does, and he's not supposed to speak about this on his program.
Well, I'm sure he's not, but that doesn't stop me from speaking about it.
In fact, I'm calling you.
Eddie Miller.
He tries to shine the light on corruptness, and they don't like it, so they have to attack him.
Well, he has a good show, and when you tell the truth, you're going to be subjected to attacks, some more fierce than others, depending on your level of influence.
Well, you know, he ran for county executive also.
And, you know, that was kind of a fixed thing.
And I think they're not very happy about him trying to upset their car.
Well, no, they're not at all.
and that's the good old boy system you have up there in those counties surrounding Shelby.
I know of this vaguely because...
Well, I'll tell you how you can find out exactly at mikeparsons.org.
Write it down, ladies and gentlemen.
Mikeparsons.org.
I'm writing it down.
I didn't know he had a website, so thank you for bringing that up.
Yes, and there's a message board with the topic for the trial to lend support to him or tell what you might have seen at the trial and your observations.
He also has his shows partly archived.
They're not all archived yet.
But we're working on that.
And there is a link at the very top of the homepage that takes you to exactly what happened.
Yes, and I do want to issue in this little caveat.
I know that I was vaguely familiar with the story.
Now I appreciate you for shedding more light on it.
And so all of our audience can learn of it and perhaps choose to get involved.
Eddie Miller, dear friend and co-host on this program, was privy to some of this.
He met Mike recently at an Oathkeepers meeting.
That's an organization, a great organization, by the way, that Eddie's involved in.
And I need to do more to support more groups like that.
But Eddie mentioned this in passing, but he didn't really relay the story as detailed as perhaps you are.
And I really didn't know all the details of it.
I just caught bits and pieces.
But thank you for calling in and letting people know that they can learn more about this at mikeparsons.org.
And again, ladies and gentlemen, Mike Parsons is another local radio show personality.
Doesn't cover all the issues we do, but he is on the same page on many issues, and he deserves your interest.
So go check him out at mikeparsons.org and find out how you can help.
And Helen, thank you for bringing this to our attention a little bit further and getting me on board with it.
We appreciate it.
Helen in Memphis.
Let's go to Anton in Pennsylvania.
Anton, are you there?
Well.
Hey, Anton, you're on the air.
Yeah, how's it going, guys?
Oh, well, you know, we're doing pretty good, actually.
Well, my beef today is with one of our biggest fans of the show.
That is the ADL.
I cannot believe lately, the more research I do on this, and the more I just become terrified of the situation in this country, how much power they control over our authorities and how many rules they can make and basically do whatever the hell they want.
The ADL is interesting.
The one I'm talking about is the new hate speech law they passed.
I know you guys talked about this, and I know you guys hammered this out, but I'm sure a lot of people don't know.
They haven't read the fine print on this, what's happening right now.
This is a big deal.
This is a huge deal.
And this is like, if you start talking to people about the situation and you try to explain to them, like, this is extremely important people understand this because our First Amendment is at stake.
And this isn't like that happened, you know, 20 years ago.
This is much bigger than that.
They always try to have their nose and their hands, you know, in our authority and what we do and what we can and cannot say.
But this is beyond that.
And then we have our Attorney General, Eric Holder, going up there and saying how this is a big step into the civil rights of people and how this is going to bring us closer together.
And it's hating dinners at ADL and saying how this is a huge step forward for everybody in this country.
Yet they're forgetting about the very essence of this country that the founders have, you know, down with us.
You don't have this in Sweden or in Russia or in Canada or in France.
And people must realize until people start doing and just thinking and quit watching American Idol and football and McDonald's and Budweiser.
How much do you think anything is going to change?
Yeah, too much bread and circus.
I mean, if we're going to behave like the new Rome, we're going to pay the price that Rome paid.
That's something we've said since the very end.
I think I said that the very first show we ever did.
But yeah, the ADL, make no mistake about it.
The hate crimes law, which, again, make no mistake about it, is nothing if not a law to suppress the freedom of speech of white Christians and only white Christians.
That's all it's intended to do.
And it's going to do it very well as it continues to snowball and gain more and more traction.
It would not have been passed without the support of the ADL, which is probably, well, not even probably, absolutely the most powerful anti-American organization in operation today on American soil.
And if anything, they have been creating anti-Semitism since 1913.
I recently, and in fact, it's the most recent blog entry on our site to kind of parallel what you're saying here, Anton.
Well, the only reason I brought this up, because I've been really slammed within the last few weeks, and I've been really paying attention to on a good site, trying to find out more information about this.
And what they're doing, James, what's scary is, you know, first they can label people like you and I and this and that.
Yeah, these guys are haters and racists, blah, blah, blah.
Now they're like labeling everybody.
Everybody including on their watch list.
Yeah, let me tell you this.
It's like regular people who have nothing to do with ideas like you and I.
Well, look, look, I mean, I consider myself to be a conservative Christian.
I mean, yeah, I'm proud to be white.
And that's really, in a nutshell, what I am.
Now, from that, they get that I'm, you know, an anti-Semite.
I'm a white supremacist.
I'm a xenophobe.
I'm a homophobe.
I'm all these other things.
They try to make you radioactive because no one wants to associate with the dregs of society.
So they try to make you filthy.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
So you might as well just charge forward.
I mean, what your enemies call you really has no bearing on your day-to-day actions, or at least it shouldn't, although they are very successful at suppressing the activism of a lot of people because a lot of people just can't take being called a name.
Well, you know, if your enemy's calling you a name, it should serve as a compliment.
But nevertheless, they're doing all this, and you're right.
Now, thanks to the ADL in part, you've got people with Ron Paul bumper stickers being labeled domestic terrorists.
I mean, they're overzealous, overzealously knows no end.
This is nuts.
If you talk to ordinary people and you tell them, okay, well, you know, we may not necessarily agree on everything, you know, certain issues, this and that, but they are literally calling out and calling, you know, extremists and racists and people who the government should have a watch on.
Normal people, like people who support the Constitution, people who are abortion, people who basically want to think for themselves and want the government off their back.
Oh, suddenly, oh, look at that.
No, we can't have that.
Yeah, and you know, and they call you all these names because they hope that that will diminish your effect.
They hope that that will diminish the amount of support you're able to receive and the effectiveness of your message.
And I'm not any of those things that they call me, but there's nothing I can do about it, so I might as well just charge forward.
Now, that's the mentality most people should have.
But now they're going, I mean, I'm a little more outspoken than most, and we've been a little more successful than most, but people who simply Simply have a Ron Paul bumper sticker or have a bumper sticker that says, you know, abolish the Federal Reserve.
These are domestic terrorists.
And I got another one since we're on the subject, Anton, about the ATL.
The ADL.
We got to take a break.
I got to quickly get this.
And thank you for the call.
Okay, have a good night, guys.
Hey, thank you, buddy.
On our website, you know, that Hassan guy that killed a dozen people and wounded dozens more while shouting Alo Akba there at Fort Hood, Texas, the Anti-Defamation League has issued a special report on extremism and violence in America, warning our nation about the dangers not of radical Muslims who have killed thousands of Americans, but of people who attend the tea parties and town hall protesters.
I am not making this up.
Go to thepolitical cesspool.org and link over to the ADL's own report.
They've just issued a report saying that the biggest threat in America is not these Muslims, but people who go to tea parties.
And that's what Anton was talking about.
We'll be back right after this.
Of tonight's installment of the political cesspool coming your way right after these messages.
