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.
The third and final hour of tonight's live broadcast of our award-winning show has now officially commenced.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool, everyone.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's Saturday, December 5th, and Winston Smith and I are in AM 1380 WLRM Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, going across the country to the fine AM FM affiliates of the Liberty News Radio Network.
Don't forget to support the Political Cesspool and Liberty News Radio by visiting thepolitical cesspool.org and libertynewsradio.com.
We have a lot of ground to cover here during tonight's third and final hour.
As always, the clock is ticking here in the radio station, and there are, as I said, a good number of vast and varied topics that I have to bring to your attention this evening before the time runs out.
But as you know, if you were tuned in to the end of the second hour, we have extended our interview with Mr. Andy Nowicki, the author of the new release we've been talking about, the book, which is available on Amazon.com and 9bandedbooks.com, considering suicide.
And Andy is with us for just a couple of more minutes to wrap this up before we move on to a couple of other issues this evening.
Andy, thank you for staying over with us.
I want you to be sure to give out that contact information one last time about how people can order your book and have a copy of it in time for Christmas.
But before you go there, I'd like to ask you here as we round out the interview, is there anything that we failed to bring to your attention tonight that you'd like to address with the audience?
Wow.
Can't ask a question any more general than that.
But always, for the guests who are exceptionally strong in their interviews, and you have given us a great show tonight.
Thanks for keeping me over.
And I know I need to get out of the way myself.
No, no, no, not at all.
I just want to be sure.
Now, like I said, and I mean it in all sincerity, anyone who's done such a fine job as you have tonight, and I've really appreciated listening to it, I want to give you the opportunity to have the floor.
Well, I was talking to Winston about, since it's still on the subject of movies, I don't know if, have you seen the previews for this new movie, Avatar?
Yeah, it's kind of like a, what, science fiction, half animated, half, is that the movie I'm thinking of?
Yeah, yeah, and it's funny how some from some previews you can tell almost what the, you know, what it's going to be about and if it's going to be, you know, propaganda dressed up as entertainment.
And I don't know if you, it just seemed to me, I'm actually working on a column about this right now, which is why it came to my mind.
But this movie Avatar, where it seems to be yet another, although it's set in outer space, and this time instead of the West, the Western world being indicted, it's the entire human race, I guess.
But it's one of those anti-civil where civilization is bad and nativism, primitivism is good, kind of like Dances with Wolves and others.
And so I guess that came to mind as something that I was wondering if you or anybody else out there had seen that.
No, I haven't seen the previews.
I've only heard about it.
And the only reason I took note of it is because even though she's, once again, just a very rabid leftist, Sigourney Weaver's in it, and for whatever reason, it has no really political meaning.
But Aliens was always one of my favorite movies growing up.
Great movie, James Cameron.
It looks really, I mean, it looks dazzling as far as special effects goes, and it's probably very exciting, but I can tell exactly that, you know, exactly what the message is from the preview.
And I just, you know, it's one of the, it's the darndest thing where, you know, a movie that's supposed to have us, I guess it goes back to what we were talking about before, because, you know, somehow we live in an age where what's supposedly subversive is actually mainstream, and to be, to have a normal kind of message would be subversive.
In other words, if you had a movie where the West was good or the human race was good and aliens were bad, that that would be a radical, controversial kind of message.
I don't know.
That just kind of...
No, no, no.
No, I appreciate where you're going with that.
And to be sure, I mean, you know, Hollywood, a big bully pulpit.
I mean, very influential.
I mean, you know how many people they're reaching with these major releases that are worldwide, and it's very damaging.
But it could also be used as a tool.
It's just, I guess it's easier said than done.
Taking it from theory to practice is a whole nother animal.
But no, other than what you've just said, you basically taught me more about Avatar than I'd known previously, other than Sigourney Weaver was in it, as I said.
But nevertheless, maybe perhaps that'll be a forthcoming article for The Last Ditch for the review.
It's something I'm working on now and a couple other things.
Well, we'll be looking forward to that.
And, of course, we'll have you back on.
I'd like to have you back on before the new year if I had my way.
And we'll get back in touch with you after this week, see what we can work out.
But I want people to be sure, take advantage of the opportunity to get your book.
Considering suicide, that's what we brought you on to talk about.
We did talk about that.
And to our benefit, we talked about some other things as well with you.
But again, remind folks about the contact information for that, the ordering information.
Okay.
Well, you can get it on Amazon, you know, Amazon.com and just type in Considering Suicide.
My name is Andy Nowicki spelled N-O-W-I-C-K-I.
And you can also get it straight from the publisher, which is NineBanded Books, and that's spelled out N-I-N-E BandedBooks.com.
You can find it as well as some other interesting titles at that site.
And also, just to replug, I've mentioned it before, but The Last Ditch, a man named Strakan, who edits that site and who's been generous enough to give me to let me write for it for five years now.
That's thornwalker.com/slash ditch.
And finally, you mentioned the Successes for Losers, the episode by my friend Chris, actually, or his pseudonym Vim Vigorous.
And you can find that on YouTube if you go to Successes for Losers.
And the segment that you were referring to was Poet of the Mall.
So anybody who's curious about that, you can go and also just check out anything because it's a brilliant series.
And so that's what I'm doing.
I think you can subtitle that YouTube movie, I Fought The Mall Won.
Yes, it was a foe that could not be defeated.
They had too much firepower for us.
And they had tootsie rolls for you, too.
Yes, but we didn't retreat with our...
We retreated proudly.
It was a proud defeat.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to find out more about exactly what Andy and Winston are talking about, go check out those websites he just mentioned.
And I tell you what, Andy, just knowing people like you are on the right side of the fence here, literally and figuratively speaking, gives me a little bit of hope for the future.
We're blessed to have men of your talent standing in the trenches with us.
And we look forward to working with you in the future and having you back on very soon.
Well, thanks a lot for having me again.
I've enjoyed it.
Always our pleasure, my friend.
And you have a great evening and a great Christmas.
If we don't talk to you before then.
All right.
Merry Christmas to you.
You got it.
Andy No Wick, everybody.
Check him out at all the websites he just mentioned.
Very talented guy.
And as I said, we're very lucky to have had an interview with him this evening.
Now, Winston, we've got a lot to talk about over the course of the last 45 minutes here.
I don't know how we're going to jam it all in.
We're going to have to do it quickly but thoroughly if we can.
I want to talk about when the Cesspool returns from this forthcoming commercial break.
Got to talk about what Mike Huckabee has done or what his actions have led to and the political ramifications of that.
We've got several more emails that I want to read.
I mentioned at the very top of the show tonight, I wanted to go to the mailbag.
We get so many great emails from listeners around the world to this program.
And I want to read a few of those this evening, if I can, before time runs out, in addition to talking about Huckabee and pretty interesting political issues coming out of Chicago and out of Texas and Dallas.
If y'all haven't seen the speaking of YouTube, we have a video posted, Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price.
Did you see that one, Winston, on the blog?
I did, and he's got a lot of YouTube videos out there.
And that guy is gone.
He's gone off his rocker.
Well, that tribal government manifesting itself in the halls of the Dallas County Commission building.
But anyway, if you want to know what we're talking about, go to thepolitical cesspool.org, and you're not going to be able to miss this one.
It's one of our most recent blog entries.
But all that and much, much more forthcoming, if we can work it all in before the time runs out tonight, you would think 45 minutes of radio would be enough, but we're pretty thorough here in the Cesspool.
So we're going to get to what we can.
And Art Frith, by the way, Chief Art Frith, our producer, he sent me over a really interesting email.
It's Michelle Obama's servant list.
Did you get that one, Winston?
I got that.
Glad to see it back.
And it is amazing how many servants the princess needs.
I believe P.D. Stanton and even the bombardier Ed Miller sent me this in the past, but we'll try to even cover that if we have time.
A lot of stuff.
Anyway, buckle up, ladies and gentlemen.
It's going to get rocky as the Cesspool winds down this evening, and we're going to bring it to you hard and fast when we come back.
Winston and James Edwards coming your way right after these words.
Don't go away, the political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
Jump in the political cesspool with James and the game.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, getting right down to it without any further consternation.
I want to talk quickly about Mike Huckabee.
Winston, obviously, a guy that we don't like very much.
He's just another typical neocon.
In fact, he was worse than that.
He sort of repackaged himself as a conservative, tried to pass himself off as a paleoconservative, I guess, on some issues during the 2008 Republican primaries.
He was always bogus.
Tell you anyone who wants to know more about Huckleby, and we should have, I tell you, we should have Joe McCutcheon on tonight, one of the greatest patriots, the greatest patriot in the state of Arkansas.
He runs ArkansasFreedom.com.
But Joe McCutcheon can tell you everything you need to know about Huckleby.
We might do a follow-up segment next week about Huckleby, because it is a pretty big story this week.
It's certainly made national news.
Mike Huckleby, as we know, has a long history of letting violent criminals out of prison.
And according to Huckabee, many of those he gave clemency to were victims of what he called the racist justice system in Arkansas.
That's the same excuse he used for setting free Maurice Clemens, who just murdered the four police officers up there in Seattle or in Tacoma.
Now, as governor of Arkansas, this Clemens thing wasn't an exception to the rule.
It was the rule.
As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckleby handed out twice as many pardons as his three predecessors combined.
And keep in mind, one of those predecessors was Bill Clinton, for God's sake.
Huckleby's clemencies in Arkansas also totaled more than those granted in the six states that surround Arkansas combined.
And he did this over strong objections from prosecutors in Arkansas who often opposed his leniency.
In fact, one of these prosecutors wrote a letter to Huckabee in which Huckabee scoffed and sent him back a very crude and joking reply saying that he laughed and told this prosecutor to cut back on his caffeine, so on and so forth.
Bottom line is this: it appears as though Mike Huckabee will never sit in the White House, which is a good thing for all of us.
He's got to be a private citizen for the rest of his life.
But it's interesting that you watched last week as Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity help Huckabee spin the situation, absolving himself of any sort of responsibility for this.
But Winson, what's your take on the whole Mike Huckabee-Maurice Clemens connection?
Well, once again, James, here we have a professional politician, a member of the elite.
And yes, he's a southerner, but he puts forth his spokesy demeanor.
But he is one of the elite.
And here he made a very bad mistake that turned out tragically.
And what does he do?
He blames everybody else but himself.
Everybody else is at fault except Mike Huckabee.
It's a case of double think, I think, how they can do something they know is wrong and yet claim that it's everybody else's fault.
I think the only humorous thing that came out of it is the state of Washington will no longer accept parolees from Arkansas.
Is that a fact or is that?
That's true.
No kidding.
Wow.
Well, there you have it.
Well, I guess that's one good thing, if not somewhat comical, if it wasn't such a tragic situation.
And to me, I mean, certainly, you know, the buck has to stop with the individual.
You know, Huckleby didn't physically kill the four police officers in the Tacoma coffee shop, but as a result of his actions, and he should have known better than letting this violent thug out of jail.
But this is something he's done time and time again.
And if it is the thing that drives the final nail into the coffin of his political career, then it's a good thing for all of us.
But because of that story, and I was particularly harsh on Huckabee in this story for a couple of reasons.
Number one, he's a neocon.
But number two, he's a neocon who does all of these things while masquerading around as some sort of a contemporary Christian, giving Christianity a bad name and furthering the decline and relevance of Christianity.
But we got an interesting email, Winston, and I'd like to read it and then toss it over to you.
It's a good email, and it addresses the stern tone in which I addressed the Huckabee clemency and the quadruple murder up in Washington state that stemmed from it.
And it reads this.
This is the email.
Gentlemen, as always, I appreciate what the political cesspool is doing, and I'm glad that y'all educate the public on issues that are so often silenced by the mainstream media, such as Huckabee's role in the pardoning of multiple killers.
But I do have a favor to ask, if it's not inconvenient.
In the future, could y'all make some distinction between Judeo-Christians like Huckabee and his version of Christianity in Christ and those of us who cling like R.L. Dabney to the real Jesus of the Bible?
I think some of the recent comments linking Huckabee's faith to Christ and Christianity may be misinterpreted by unbelievers or skeptics and only bolster their opposition to the Lord, the scripture, and authentic Christianity.
I don't think that's your intent, so I figured I'd just bring it to your attention.
Thanks for your diligence and keep up the great work, and that comes from Judd.
So, Winston, I'd like to toss it over to you because this follows along the lines of a subject we addressed last week in which we mentioned the great R.L. Dabney.
Well, to Brother Judd, I compliment him on his letter, on his email.
But, Judd, the distinction between Judeo-Christians and Judeo-Christianity and real Christianity and real Christians is a distinction that I've been making for a long time.
I know I'm on the show only sporadically, but whenever the subject is broached, I make that distinction very clearly because it's what I believe, and I'm glad you believe that way as well.
The Christianity, so-called, that you see practiced in most churches, so-called these days, is not Christianity.
It is a Jewified religion that is more involved with entertainment than it is spirituality.
Your average church these days is nothing more than a theater.
It's a production house.
There are light shows.
They have their cheerleaders up front.
They have their dancers.
And it's all meant to distract from the real purpose of a Christian meeting, which is the worship of God.
These days, singers and performers are elevated to celebrity status in the church.
And those are the people that get the attention, not the Christ of the church.
And again, as we were talking about with Mr. New Wiki, one of the signs of spiritual decline.
People will accept the cheap imitation.
They'll accept the Ersatz religion.
And you have to look that word up.
It basically means a cheap substitution.
Ersat, R-S-A-T-C.
Anyhow, people have accepted this bogus form of religion, which is nothing but entertainment.
It tickles itching ears, the Bible said.
The Bible describes it.
It's worse than useless.
It's detrimental.
And if the great R.L. Dabney were alive today, I have taken a cord and made it into a whip, and he'd be driving people out of these buildings because they have absconded with the name Christian.
They have absconded with all that was good in the church before the civil rights movement.
These people, these churches, they would gladly accept in their pulpit Martin Luther King Jr., that is Michael King, even though he was a communist, even though he denied the most fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, even though he was a serial adulterer, they would gladly accept him in their pulpit.
But let someone like R.L. Dabney, or let Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones, or B.B. Warfield, or Lauren Betner, or any of the greats, they would not only not allow him in their pulpit, they wouldn't allow him in their church.
Winston?
Go ahead.
No, I was just going to say, I knew this issue would get you animated and rightfully so, and you're doing a great job, but you know, for whom the bell tolls, it's us, and we've got to take another commercial break.
But we're going to let you pick up right where you're leaving off.
And we're going to go back to the mailbag as well.
Plenty more emails to read and more stories forthcoming before the clock runs out on us tonight in the cesspool.
be right back 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, everyone.
We're going through the mailbag here for just a couple of minutes.
And as I've said a couple of times this evening, we are very blessed and very privileged to have such a wide amount of support from listeners all around the world.
And to prove that, it doesn't need proving, but we got an email in from a gentleman in Germany who was complimenting our programs of late.
And it never fails to amaze me.
The listeners that we have from all ports have called Winston.
Of course, you've seen the emails over the years.
I don't know if there's a country out there that hasn't written in with their support and adulation.
I guess for all the moral support we receive, we're subjected to an equal amount of ridicule, scorn, and contempt.
But that just comes with the territory of being a public figure and doing something that thankfully has made a name for itself.
But going back to the mailbags, this was another email we got this week that I thought was particularly important, important enough to at least read on the air.
And we do try to respond to as many emails as we can.
Of course, we don't always read them on the air.
In fact, very rarely do we do so.
But every now and then, I think it's important that folks who tune into the show know what some of their fellow listeners are thinking and saying.
And this email reads as such.
Mr. Edwards, just dropping a line to let you know how much I appreciate what you're doing.
I've been kicked to the curb so many times, I can't count them because of my political beliefs, which are simply based on truth and facts, which you know very well, are not tolerated by the powers that be.
I'm 64 years old now and never thought I'd see the day when a Manchurian candidate-type politician would occupy the White House.
Our forebears are rolling in their graves.
My family came from European immigrant stock, and I can assure you that my ancestors would be returning home if they were alive to see the state of America.
The tyranny they fled is now here.
The frustrating part is there's nowhere to go, nowhere to hide from the so-called progressives that are turning America into a land without law, law only for the people deemed minorities.
I don't know what to do.
I've got beautiful grandkids being brainwashed by the educational system.
Sad, very sad.
Nowhere to take them.
Darkness everywhere.
And that was written in by Paul.
And I certainly can sympathize with what Paul's saying.
It's an email that, even as I read it now, gives me chills because I understand that this is a man with great convictions, and his feelings are very heartfelt, and it's something that he's having trouble dealing with.
And I don't have the answers, or all the answers.
But I did write Paul back, and I thanked him for his kind and thoughtful email.
And told him that I wish that I did have the answers and the Army to implement them.
But I do know that there is some comfort and solace that comes when people like us come together.
Just to know that there's others out there who share your hopes and dreams and concerns, make that darkness he writes about a little more bearable.
There is strength and fellowship, and that's something that I want all of you to remember.
I think that's why you tune into this show, or at least one of the reasons you tune into this show, so you feel as though you're not alone.
That's something that's written in quite a bit.
But, Paul, and everyone else, please stay in touch.
Let us know what we can do to serve.
And if there's anything that we can do, we want to be there for you.
This show exists because of people like you, Paul, and you are not alone.
But yes, Winston, please go ahead.
I would like to address Paul's concern.
And I get a lot of emails from listeners as well.
And Paul, you are not alone in your sense of despair and despondency.
But I think there is a way to deal with it.
And the way to deal with it is you fight it.
You fight it so hard, and you make such an example of the enemy that no one else will want to tangle with you.
You know, when you are confronted by a bully, the worst thing you can do is run.
The worst thing you can do is nothing, because that empowers them, it enables them, and they go on to even more brutality, even more sadism.
We see that in the kidnappings and rape and torture and murder of so many white girls and white women.
But the thing to do, if you don't like something, you need to fight it and you need to destroy it because that's the only way you're going to get rid of it.
The enemies that we have today are of the sort that they will not stop.
They will not stop.
Look at the queer marriage issue.
They get defeated in state after state after state, and yet they keep coming back.
But, Paul, the thing to do is to fight and to make your fight so hard and so memorable that it teaches them a lesson.
They will probably come back in the future, but it will be a long time in the future.
We are not in a position to do nothing.
We have to do something.
Inaction is not an option.
Well, Winston, I couldn't agree with you more.
And, you know, I hope that in some small way we do embolden and encourage our listening audience to do what they can.
And everyone can do different things.
Everyone has different talents.
No two people are exactly the same.
Obviously, we're in a position now to do this radio program.
And obviously, a lot of people don't have that opportunity.
This is a very unique enterprise that we are in charge of here.
But everyone can do something, and you can be as effective as you want to be.
I mean, work efficiently, work smart.
You don't necessarily have to work your stuff into the ground.
You can work smart and hard, or you can just go out there.
You know, going out there and doing some of these things, and I could give you some examples, but there are some ways of activism that are just not effective.
We want our people to be effective.
We want our people to be informed.
And people can email us for ideas, and we can tell them how they can make a difference.
There's a lot of ways to make proactive change happen.
James, someone like Paul, he mentioned his grandchildren.
His role in the fight might be simply to tell them stories of the way things used to be back when America was great.
His role might be to encourage his grandchildren to listen to this program or to read to them some of the histories of when America was great.
When we say everybody can do something, you know, you don't have to go out to Nathan Bethran Forest Park like we did and protest against Al Sharpton trying to change the name of the park.
You don't have to do that.
You don't have to take to the streets at all.
The most effective activism is if all people like us, you know, white nationalists, kennists, people who think, constitutional conservatives, people who think like us, if you will just start in your home and read the things that strengthen you, pass them on to your children, encourage your friends.
That's one easy way to fight.
We can all do something, as you said, James.
And everything we do, no matter how small, it counts because a whole bunch of little things add up to one big thing.
So, Paul, please be encouraged.
Paul is not lost.
We can turn things around, I think.
No, absolutely.
As Sam Dixon has said, he referenced the scene at the end of Gone with the Wind as the Confederates are retreating from Atlanta.
And one of the characters remarks, there'll come a time when they turn to fight.
And when they do, I'll stand and fight with them.
And I think that's going to be our people here.
I think I just can't imagine people with such a great history who have done so much to spark civilization just walking off the stage of history without so much as a whimper.
And so we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
And until the day comes where there is a great awakening in this country, and I'm not talking about anything, you know, again, it seems as though you always have to have the disclaimer nowadays.
But, you know, I'm certainly not talking about anything violent, but just politically and intellectually.
There are so many ways you could have awakenings that can be effective and you can reclaim that which has been taken from you.
And I think, you know, we have the talent and the brainpower and the numbers still to do it.
And I think I still remain hopeful that it will be done.
I mean, we have just, with our small operation here, we have seen so many strides have been made, I think.
You look at the impact that we've made with this program, for example, in the mainstream media and the amount of attention we've gotten from the mainstream media.
And this is just coming on the backs of five guys who thought they could start a radio show.
And here five years later, I mean, you know, a lot's happened, but we do this as novices.
I mean, there was no formal radio training or broadcasting education.
And look at what we've been able to do with God's grace and the support of people like Paul and so many others who write in.
But if we can make a difference, you can make a difference.
We all make a difference.
And who knows what will happen?
If everybody was doing the kind of work that people like Andy No Wicki are doing, who's to say where we can be in a couple of years?
And it doesn't take things long to change.
I mean, you look at where the Bolsheviks were and where the communists were and these change agents were back in the 1930s, 1920s.
I mean, how forbidding and intimidating must America have looked to them.
And now, you know, less than 100 years later, they've pretty much got it all.
But we can take it back.
We've got to take a break.
We're going to read a couple of more emails and try to get another story in here before the clock runs out.
We've got one more segment tonight.
We're going to bring it to you right after this.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
We got to get out of this place.
If it's the last thing we ever do, we got to get out of this place.
Welcome back.
To get on the political cesspool, call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Hey everyone, James Edwards, Winston Smith here to cap off another installment of the Cesspool tonight.
We're going to be signing off in a few minutes, but until then, we've still got a little bit of work to do.
And I want to go back to the mailbags, and we've been reading a little bit of your email and feedback during tonight's third hour, as I promised we would.
And I'm going to read a couple of more, and then I'm going to go to something a little lighter.
We never get a chance to cover everything we want to cover on these Saturday night broadcasts, but we do the best we can with the time we've got.
I'm going to end off on a little lighter subject tonight, not sending you to bed with anything too heavy.
But going back to the emails, a couple here were Rincedon to round out this segment.
You know, we're lucky.
I think the ratio is probably about 10 to 1.
We really, at this point, I guess our enemies have pretty much become convinced that they're not going to be able to run us off the air.
So a lot of the threats have subsided.
A lot of the vicious and hateful email that we got when we first splashed onto the scene.
It's kind of subsided.
They just leave us alone now.
They don't like the fact that we're able to continue to practice our freedom of speech.
But at the same time, they know that we're really too established to budge anymore.
But I did get one email.
You know, we had Scott Goldsmith on last week.
We were promoting the Dixie Republic store, a great store for you to do all of your Christmas shopping this year.
And got an email back.
A lot of positive emails, of course, people saying they're going to go shop there and thank you for bringing it to our attention and so on and so forth.
Did get one email from a lady.
She called me a couple of choice names and then told me that how does it sit with me as an anti-Semite, which I don't claim to be.
I tell the truth if that makes me this, that, or the other.
That's for people to decide.
But she says, as an anti-Semite, how did I live with the knowledge that the Confederacy was started and administered by Jewish people?
And then she told me to go to someplace extremely hot and chew on that.
So you see the kind of stuff I got to put up with from time to time.
But by and large.
And I'm not even going to address that because that's so far out of left field that's not even worthy of commentary on this program.
But you see what I got to put up with.
But for every one email like that, we get 10 emails like this.
Like this one from Joe Winston Joseph writes, I check your website daily because I consider it more relevant than the mainstream news.
Keep up the good work and God bless you.
And for example, this one from Stephen, nice little tongue-in-cheek comment to wrap up this segment.
It's always good to hear from real Americans such as yourselves.
I enjoy your show.
I only wish it was carried on a local station here in the Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky area.
But for now, I enjoy hearing you online as much as possible.
Hope you had a really good Thanksgiving holiday.
It's just a shame the way the white man needlessly slaughtered all the Indians as they sit around passively welcoming us ashore with gift baskets.
Nevertheless, a very Merry Christmas to you and to your family.
And that comes from Stephen up there in Cincinnati.
So I like the sarcasm there, Winston.
Well, first, James, I want to take mild exception with something you said earlier about how there were no professionals on the staff.
And I just want to give credit where credit is due.
We owe a lot to Art Frith because he really is a professional.
And he donated his time and he told us where we were messing up.
And he told us how to behave on the radio.
And he made the show happen.
Well, there's no doubt about that.
Shout out to Chief Frith.
Yeah, the Navy Chief Art Frith certainly back there during our first couple of years on the air gave us some guidance when it comes to the production aspect of it all.
I guess, and certainly there's some professionals behind the scenes, obviously the pros at Liberty News Radio and then the people who run our website.
The only professionals that aren't a part of the political successful cast and crew are the hosts.
But other than that, we're surrounded by professionals, I guess.
And speaking of art, he did send this email in, and I mentioned it before, and I guess we'll end with this tonight, something a little bit lighter, although it's a little bit nauseating, too.
This is Michelle Obama's servant lists and pay scale.
Michelle Obama requires more than 20 attendance, ladies and gentlemen.
22 full-time attendance just to see to the needs, the everyday needs of Michelle Obama.
She's got a chief of staff that makes $172,000 a year.
She's got a deputy assistant and director of policy and projects for the first lady who makes $140,000 a year.
She's got a special assistant, which is also apparently a social secretary that makes $113,000 a year.
We're already up to almost half a million dollars.
She's got a director of communications for $100,000 a year.
She's got a deputy chief of staff for a smooth $100,000 a year.
She's got another deputy chief of staff.
That's at least the third one, $90,000 a year.
She's got a press secretary for $84,000.
She's got a director of scheduling for $75,000.
She's got director of policy and projects for $70,000.
Lady Michelle has another deputy social secretary for $65,000.
And then another one for $64,000.
Another scheduling deputy for $62,000.
This is, you see, five people here doing the same job.
Going on down the list here, again, there's 22 people on this list that are all making well over the median income.
She's got a special assistant and personal aid for $57.5.
She's got a trip director.
Now, how that's different than the scheduling director and so on and so forth, I don't know.
She's got a director of correspondence.
She's got assistant to her.
She's got her chief of staff as an executive assistant herself, which is also on the payroll.
She's got all these people, they have their own staffs to help support them while they're supporting Michelle.
That's right.
That's right.
I see here now toward the bottom and the people only making $40,000 a year.
That's second deputy assistant to the chief of staff of Michelle Obama.
And now all this list, though, there's 22 people all making over $35,000 a year up to $172,000 a year.
22 people to tend to her every day.
And as you said, Winston, some of them have their own staff a little further on down the trough, which are also counted as her staff.
And this doesn't include the makeup artist, the first hairstylist.
You heard me right, and that's not an exaggeration.
First hairstylist.
His name is Johnny Wright.
I think the makeup artist needs a few more art lessons.
Well, not according to all these smutty magazines you find in the grocery stores.
They make you think that Michelle is some fashionista that puts every other supermodel to shame.
You couldn't get any more glamorous if you ask people or U.S. Weekly.
But the bottom line is, all these staffers, you add it up.
It's got to be, it's got to be close to a million dollars a year that they're paying these people to just basically be her maidservants.
And here's the rhetorical question.
Above and beyond the wasteful spending and all that.
It says, this story, by the way, comes from a Canadian newspaper.
They were the ones who documented this, at least in so much as when I got it.
It's probably been documented by other people, but a Canadian newspaper is the one who printed all this.
Now, they say that there's never been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life.
And it says that this, you know, it's far above and beyond the staff that Laura Bush or Jackie Kennedy or some of these others have.
But my question is, Winston, how diverse do you think Michelle Obama's staff is?
I don't know.
I'm just asking.
Well, I was going to comment on that, but I doubt you're going to find many people there of English, Irish, or Germanic descent or European descent.
You're not going to find many of them at all.
It's just not the way the Obamas operate.
And I'll tell you another thing, James.
Since it was a Canadian news agency that reported this, I think Michelle has a good claiming racism and filing a hate crime lawsuit.
That's right.
That's right.
That's racism to use your own eyes and ears in Canada, so I guess you could probably, and you know what?
Just like the store we talked about that fell victim to shoplifting because of their stupid policies about racial profiling, whatever that is.
Yeah, you know, it would serve Canada well to be sued by Michelle.
She'd probably win because, you know, they're doing something other than just lavishing praise upon her.
And that is, I think, racism, if I understand the definition correctly.
And you never know.
If I understand today's definition correctly.
But, Winston, we are about out of time.
Another show gone by far too quickly.
Thank you for joining me tonight, Winston, and filling in for the loafing bombardier Eddie and Bill Rowland.
We'll get them back in the saddle.
But you and Keith were on deck tonight and certainly made the show much better than it would have been had I been here by myself.
And I thank you for that.
And it's always a pleasure.
Well, my pleasure, James.
I'd like to thank Andy Nowicki for his time and his work.
Absolutely.
Always hats off to Andy Nowicki and everyone else who makes this show what it is.
And that includes, obviously, without saying everyone in the listening audience, four, our entire staff and crew, and of course all the hosts, Winston Smith, Eddie Miller, Bill Rowland, and Keith Alexander.
I'm James Edwards, reminding you to live life the way we do without retreat, surrender, or apology.
And may God bless you and yours during this very special time of year as we head into Christmas.
We'll see you next week, everybody.
Have a safe week.
Thanks for joining us tonight in the political cesspool.
