Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populous conservative radio program.
Here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host for tonight, James Edwards.
Hello, everybody, and Merry Day After Christmas.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool Radio Program here on AM 1380 WLRM Radio.
That is where we sit this Saturday, December 26th, 2009, as we bring you tonight's live installment of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
This will be the last installment of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
This year, we'll be back with you next week, of course, same time as always on Saturday night, but it will be 2010.
The calendar will have flipped a page between this week and the next.
And we have a lot of stuff to look forward to as the new year brings us what we hope will be another banner year of broadcasting excellence here.
But we'll wait and see.
Of course, each year in this program, as we head into our sixth year, the previous five have all been better than the one before.
And we hope to keep that tradition alive as we continue to challenge ourselves to bring you a bigger and better show each and every year.
But that being said, let me welcome in my co-host for tonight's first hour, none other than Mr. Keith Alexander.
Keith, a merry day after Christmas.
Yes, onward and upward.
One year, every year, better than the last.
I like that.
Well, that's the motto.
And so far, I can say that it's been true.
Each year we have gotten a little more celebrated, a little more accomplished, is I guess the word I'm looking for.
And it'll be hard to do more than we've done in the past, but we always look forward to rising to the occasion.
And we're going to do that in 2010.
But not before we celebrate the year that was.
And that's, to a large extent, is what we're going to be doing tonight.
During the second hour, I was talking with Keith just a moment ago before we came on live.
Winston Smith will be joining me for tonight's second and third hour.
Eddie Miller and Bill Rowland have the evening off.
Winston has really outdone himself.
In the second hour tonight, we will be recapping.
As you know, this is the season for top 10 lists.
We're going to be recapping the top 10 most hateful comments that were made in the year 2009.
The top 10 most hateful comments.
Winston Smith compiled this list by himself for tonight's program.
You're really, really going to want to stay tuned for the second hour of tonight's show.
And then in the third hour, the third and final hour of tonight's broadcast, the third and final hour of our broadcasting year, we're going to be bringing you our annual year-in review show, our annual year-in review hour as it is this year.
And we're going to be capping off the top 10 most memorable moments of the political cesspool in 2009.
We'll be talking about some of the most memorable events and interviews and guests and more.
So the second and third hour of tonight, a couple of the top 10 lists, top 10 most hateful comments, top 10 moments of the political cesspool.
And then we will certainly have set the stage for a very exciting year to come in 2010, which we will kick off next week.
So Keith, the holiday season keeps rolling around.
It's a lot of excitement in the air.
Yeah, and, you know, just to give a proper respect to our origins, in jolly old England, they called December the 26th Boxing Day, which confused me when I first heard it.
I thought maybe that's when husbands and wives fought each other.
Over all the money that was spent at Christmas.
Or too much time.
You know, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
So I guess of being there together makes it the opposite of fondness.
What it actually applies refers to is boxing up the Christmas presents you got and putting them away.
So, for whatever it's worth, if we have people listening in England, I'm sure we do.
Happy Boxing Day.
Well, happy Boxing Day to our English brothers and sisters.
And as I told you, Keith, we received this year an unprecedented number of Christmas cards, which I'm very excited to say and so happy to have received.
We got Christmas cards from just about every state in the Union here in America and from many overseas countries, not the least of which includes England.
We have a very big following in England, and so undoubtedly there are English listeners tonight.
Happy Boxing Day to you.
Here in America, Keith, they call the day after Christmas what?
Bankruptcy Day.
Well, that's what it would be to us, but no.
It's the beginning of the so-called festival of Kwanzaa.
Now, oh my gosh.
That is Bankruptcy Day in one sense, I suppose.
We do it every year, so we got to do it this year.
If anyone doesn't know what Kwanzaa is, it's another one of these made-up holidays they have invented to celebrate multiculturalism.
But this one is putting down whites, basically.
Yeah, well, it's an yeah, of course.
But this one's a little more absurd and ludicrous than the others that they have pushed upon us.
Keith, tell them a little bit about the background of Kwanzaa, which is, again, supposed to start today and then it runs about a week or something.
What do they do?
Well, what Kwanzaa was about, it was supposedly some African folk festival that was being discovered and reignited in the United States in the late 60s.
Actually, it was a totally made-up deal by a former FBI informant, a black fellow named Ron Karenga.
And I think Hollywood is just as phony as Ron Karenga, the FBI informant, wasn't it?
Aren't there 12 days of Kwanzaa now?
How many are there?
Well, now there might be 12.
I don't know.
I don't really celebrate it.
People will be shocked to find that out, I'm sure.
But I thought there were six or seven, maybe 12.
I mean, you know, the black people here in this country don't even celebrate it.
It's again amazing.
It's a mystery celebration.
It's one that is mentioned much more than it's celebrated.
And it's mentioned by politically correct newscasters and newspaper people basically for the purpose of telling people that Christmas has this terrible association with white Europeans.
And therefore, it's appropriate and it's praiseworthy for you to try to, in this so-called holiday, quote-unquote season, to find another holiday to celebrate, particularly if you're black.
Well, except this one was made up in the mid-60s by, as you said, an ex-FBI informant, but he was also a convicted felon, Ron Koringa.
And what's interesting is that we saw, Keith, and the reason we wanted to mention this tonight, and we've gone into greater length about the origins of Kwanzaa for what it's worth.
We're not going to get into all the details tonight, but we've done that in years past on the program.
This was something that obviously received front-page coverage here in the local Memphis paper because Memphis has a large non-white population in the city center itself.
And a black editor of the newspaper.
Well, of course.
So there you go, hand in glove and all.
But it had a big picture of women in what is supposed to be traditional African garb celebrating Kwanza and trying to figure out what it means.
And they mentioned in the very caption of the front page of the commercial appeal that this was a black power festival.
And I'm not paraphrasing here, and I'm not exaggerating.
It said in so many words, Kwanzaa, this holiday, a celebration of the black power movement.
And that's what it said.
Now, Keith, I guess I don't need to ask what would happen if someone had, an ex-convict had invented a holiday to celebrate the supposed white power movement.
Do you think that would get front-page news coverage in a major metropolitan page coverage if they were arresting the proponents of this newly found white power festival for a hate crime or for hate speech?
Basically, it would probably be ignored, and if it wasn't, it would be a case for collective wringing of hands, rending of garments, gnashing of teeth, and pulling of hair by the elites in our society.
But of course, heads I win, tails you lose when blacks, when you have a black power celebration, well, everybody is supposed to get in line with the festivities and never was heard a discouraging word about the whole operation.
No, well, absolutely right.
And so, anyway, there it was on the front page of the paper a few days ago.
This holiday celebrates the black power movement and other things of Native Africa and so on and so forth.
It's just a bunch of hogwash and rubbish, but nevertheless, it's something that is being forced down our throat.
The post office has their Kwanzaa stamps.
No one even knows what it means.
That's one of the things the article mentioned.
The black people in Memphis, not anybody celebrates it.
They don't even know what it means.
But still, nevertheless.
Except our elites.
Our elites have tried to popularize something for the benefit of black people and black people.
And, you know, can you imagine the arrogance?
They have refused to celebrate this made-up holiday made up for them by the elites.
Well, except for the people at the post office.
The people at the post office has put it right up there with.
You can't really even buy a Christmas stamp.
I mean, you can get the holiday festival.
Now, they have what looks to be Mary and Baby Jesus, but they don't call it that, of course.
They just call it like Madonna and Child or something.
Yeah, I heard something.
It was like, what was it?
Al Gore said that they were celebrating homeless people, that Joseph and Mary were homeless.
I haven't heard that yet.
I haven't heard that one.
That sounds like something he'd say, though.
That sounds like something he'd say.
But we're not going to spend too much time talking about Kwanzaa tonight.
It's silly.
It's stupid, but it's politically correct.
So therefore, it gets its own stamp in the American post office.
But enough of that.
Enough of that silly nonsense.
Don't worry about it, folks.
Surely it can't last.
It's just Kwanzaa.
It just keeps being resurrected every year, and every year, more and more people ignore it.
Except for us.
Now we're talking about it, giving it major publicity on a nationally syndicated radio show.
But we'll be back right after this.
Don't go away.
There's more political cesspool coming your way right after these messages.
Welcome back.
To get on the political cesspool, call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
No rest for the weary.
It is a day after Christmas, and we are back on the front lines here in the studio tonight, bringing you another live edition of the Political Cesspool.
A lot of radio shows would play a tape the day after Christmas, not us.
And we'll be here the day after New Year's next week on January 2nd when we kick off another year of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Of course, you're listening to us tonight, not only on AM 1380, WLRM, our flagship station in Memphis, Tennessee, but also on the Liberty News Radio Network.
And it's AM FM affiliate stations across the country, LibertyNewsRadio.com and thepolitical cesspool.org.
Those are the two websites that we want you to check out, LibertyNewsRadio.com.
And of course, our official internet headquarters, thepoliticalcesspool.org.
A couple of days ago on Christmas Eve, I posted a video that I want you to watch.
It really, I think, shows you what we're fighting for.
It's Christmas message, the Celtic women singing.
Oh, night divine, oh holy night.
Go check that out, and you'll know while we do this radio program.
That is the kind of culture we're trying to preserve, protect, and fight for.
Keith, I don't know about you.
I didn't walk from the parking lot into the studio tonight.
I rolled into the studio tonight after all of that eating I've been doing over the course of the last two days.
But I tell you, it's been a very special and blessed Christmas this year.
What a spiritual time of faith, friends, and family.
And I've had my fill of it the last two days.
How was your Christmas, by the way, Keith?
I forgot to ask you in the opening minutes of the show tonight.
Well, it was great.
It was the normal Christmas we had.
We went out in the country, and I think everybody ought to go out to the country to our rural roots whenever possible to celebrate these holidays like Christmas, Easter, and things like that.
And had a great time.
You know, I didn't have the normal tug of war between my family and my wife's family that you normally have because my mother was out visiting my sister in her home up in Blue State, America.
So everything went very peacefully and very uneventfully this time, and everything was great.
I tell you, we just, we were an hour or no, we were two hours late having dinner because my brother-in-law had not cooked the turkey the night before.
He decided to cook it that morning, and it wasn't done when it was supposed to be done.
But they gave us another two hours of visiting and fellowship with our family and friends.
And, you know, it couldn't have turned out better.
No, I echo that.
A incident-free Christmas is something that is rare.
And I was able to enjoy one this year, too.
And when I say incident-free, I'm not talking about fights or blow-ups or anything like that.
Everything goes according to plan.
And had a great time with my family and my wife's family and seeing my brother and friends.
And, you know, I was so, had such a great childhood.
And I can remember all the presents, you know, Santa Claus would bring, of course, on Christmas Day.
And, you know, of course, come to find out later in life, my parents were Santa Claus.
But nevertheless, I mean, they would cover the den floor.
You couldn't even see the carpet so much.
That's probably why Kwanzaa can't get off the ground.
All these black children aren't about to take, you know, commit the heresy of not believing in Santa Claus gifts they get.
So consequently, they're turning their back on Kwanzaa.
And, you know, let's face it, that, you know, children enjoy Christmas, you know, to such an extent that that's really what drives a lot of adults, at least to the secular part of Christmas.
You know, it's a lot more fun to give and watch the children's reaction than to, you know, get presents, at least for me.
No, absolutely.
And I'm the same way.
But bottom line is, and to wrap all that up, I had great Christmases as a child and great Christmases as an adult.
And my 29th Christmas was a very good one.
Anyway, Keith, that being said, back to the riding back to the sound of the guns.
I know you want to talk about Obamacare, which in some shape, form, or fashion will become law sooner rather than later.
What's up on that?
Well, you know, Dr. Frankenstein's created the monster, and he's out and about and loose, turned loose on the world.
The genie is out of the bottle.
And once out of the bottle, he's beyond control.
All of these misguided blue state white people that voted for him have now, you know, they can now know the truth of the observation, be careful what you wish for, your dream may come true.
But, you know, he's going to inflict more socialism on America than we've ever had.
He is a full-blown cultural Marxist.
No punches pulled.
You know, he wants to transform America and he wants to transform it in such a way that he's going to destroy what made America unique and attractive to the rest of the world.
Now, who is responsible, I was thinking, for Obama?
And I came to the unfortunate conclusion, at least unfortunate for some of our neoconservative friends, that he is basically the people most responsible for putting him into power was the Republican Party.
Well, no, Keith, I've been saying that for years.
You know, people, first of all, the Republicans offer little to no resistance.
They feign opposition, but when push comes to shove, they are almost lockstock and barrel, goose-stepping in the same direction as the Marxist on the left-hand side of the aisle.
But the thing is, Obama would have never come to power.
The Republicans would have never lost control if they had, as the Democrats are trying to do, ruled with an iron fist back when they captured the majority in 1994.
Had they had gone further to the right and flexed their conservative muscles, they would have maintained power.
I firmly believe that the Democrats would not have gained control of Congress in 2006, nor would they have won the White House with Obama had the Republicans, dare I say, pandered to the people who vote for him.
Unfortunately, since 1994, the Republicans have pandered to everyone except their core base.
And because of that, they've lost, and they've lost because the best state Americans aren't voting for them anymore.
It's really not pandering, James.
It's representing the people that actually care enough about you to vote for you.
Well, there you go.
They're totally ignored.
But, you know, let's get down to the nuts and bolts of Obama.
Obama was a nobody, a state representative in state government until he became the senator of Illinois.
How did he become the senator of Illinois?
There was a white male Republican who had already announced a good candidate.
Apparently, there was some type of problem with his divorce, not the type of problem that would ever deter a Teddy Kennedy or a Democrat from running.
But the Republican Party harried this guy from running, and then they decided they were going to teach the United States of America a lesson in multiculturalism and diversity.
They were going to make the people of Illinois elect a black man as senator.
And shamefully, they thought there hadn't been a black senator since Reconstruction.
So they trot out from Maryland Alan Keyes, the so-called black conservative, okay?
They move him from Maryland to Illinois, provide boatloads of money for his election.
They assure all of the Republican voters and all the conservative base of the Republican Party, this man is a rock-solid conservative.
You don't need to fear him at all.
He gets the nomination, and as soon as the election campaign begins, what's the first thing he says out of the box?
He says he is a big proponent for reparations for slavery.
Now, with conservatives like that, who needs liberals, James?
You know, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
And, of course, the Republican base in Illinois was predictably underwhelmed with this candidate.
They didn't come out to vote for him.
And Obama won the election virtually by default.
They insisted the Republican, the politically correct Republican Party, basically took a dive.
They tanked this election.
Maybe they're so addle-headed that they actually thought that Alan Keyes had an opportunity to win.
But because of their utter incompetence at electoral politics, at winning elections, which is what political party machinery and apparatus are supposed to do, they allowed Obama. a weak candidate to become the senator of Illinois or one of the senators from Illinois.
And then what happens?
He becomes president based on that power base and the rest is history.
He's loose on the world like skinny out of the bottle.
Political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
On the show and express your opinion in the political cesspool, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
Welcome back to the show.
James Edwards here with you tonight in the political cesspool.
Keith Alexander joining me for tonight's first hour.
Winston Smith will be filling in Keith's chair during tonight's second and third hour.
Eddie Miller and Bill Rowland have the night off.
They are gearing up for what promises to be a very exciting and action-packed 2010.
The next year in the history of this program will begin in earnest next week, January 2nd.
Continuing on, where Keith let off, we were talking about Obamacare as a manifestation of the radical socialist agenda that the Obama administration is unleashing upon this country.
And Keith has surmised, as I have, that this is, in fact, a problem that the Republicans have given us.
I was talking earlier that had the Republicans flexed their muscles and, as Keith said, represented the people who had voted for them, rather than trying to placate the left and more precisely placating minorities, the Republicans would have never lost the majority that they had during the Gingrich years.
Gingrich, of course, was a neoconservative and of no use to any of us real paleoconservative Americans, and the same could be said for Bush and countless other scores of Republicans.
But you look in the election that John McCain lost, and McCain was absolutely the worst candidate the Republicans, the worst white candidate the Republicans could have nominated.
And he lost in a few key states to Obama, even though Obama received less votes than John Kerry did back in 2004.
It's because John McCain was such an unappetizing candidate.
I remember here in Memphis, James, that the only time McCain bothered to set a foot in the city of Memphis in West Tennessee was on Martin Luther King Day when he came to the National Civil Rights Museum to grovel at the feet of black Democrats in Memphis and apologize for not voting back in the early 80s in the Reagan administration when he was in the Senate for the Martin Luther King holiday,
you know, being made an official national holiday.
He was up there saying, I ain't shiny and groveling and whatnot to booze and hisses and whatnot.
It was the most disgusting prostration I have ever seen in my life.
He was supposed to be our big war hero that we're all supposed to be enthused about and voting for.
Tell you what I was running, looking for a barf bag.
Well, that's what I'm talking about.
See Keith, you saw that, as many untold number of others white conservatives saw that, and because of that, they either didn't vote at all or they voted for, for a third party, but most of them just didn't vote at all.
And because of that, even though Obama received less votes than Kerry did, in some of the big states like Ohio, McCain received so many more votes less than George Bush, it tipped the states blue.
So this is what I'm talking about.
And you even zeroed in a little more, a little more intensely, Keith, and talked about the Republicans' tactics or lack thereof in nominating Alan Keyes, a product of Maryland, and getting him registered as an Illinois resident so he could go up against Obama.
If they had played to their strength, they could have stopped Obama in Illinois before he ever had an opportunity.
But the Republicans continue to make this mistake.
No matter how many times it costs them, they continue to make this mistake.
They've made it with Michael Steele, who is going to further set them back.
I fear that the Republicans, I don't fear it because I've never voted Republican in a presidential election, but the Republicans may very well never compete again on a national scale.
You know, it's like they've been dealt a royal flush and they asked for four new cards.
The trouble with the Republican Party is that they have drunk the same Kool-Aid as the Democrats, and they are just hungering to have blacks and Hispanics vote for them.
And blacks and Hispanics would not vote for them under any circumstances.
They just cannot comprehend that.
And as a result, they're having elections handed to them on a silver platter and they ask for the banquet to be sent back to the chef and recooked.
Well, they're nuts.
This is the thing.
I don't want to sound like a broken record because every time we have this conversation to bring it up, but sometimes clichés are about as insightful as you can get on something so obvious.
Pat Buchanan in one of his appearances on this very radio program when I was interviewing, and I said, Pat, we were talking about this.
We were talking about this very issue with the Republican Party and the direction they're going with their so-called leadership.
I said, Pat, what's going to happen if the Republican Party continues to go in this direction?
He said, they're going to end up in their retirement home.
He said, a very wise person said, you got to go hunting where the ducks are.
And you got a country right now whose population is still over 60% white.
And those white people tend to be conservative.
And those conservative whites tend to vote Republican.
And the Republicans are doing everything they can, absolutely everything they can, to alienate these people to never voting for them again.
And in the meantime, they're getting a net gain of zero.
They're getting a net gain of zero.
Zero gain of black and Hispanic people.
I think they absolutely hate their base.
And as a result, their base is learning to hate them.
And it's not just the national party.
It's not just these national people like Steele who so obviously hates white people.
It's local parties, too.
It is out in the country, like the Shelby County Republican Party.
I mean, here they're bringing in Michael Steele.
I mean, they want to alienate the people who vote for Republicans in Memphis.
Blacks in Memphis will never vote Republican.
I don't care if you pay them to, they wouldn't do it.
And I can't, you know, so what?
Well, you know, white Republicans and white Americans generally are learning to just say no to the Republican Party.
I think the Tea Party group, you know, apparently, according to some polls, is more popular than the Republican Party.
And they may take the place of the Republican Party and make, you know, several years ago, I mean, a decade ago, I said that the Republicans were poised to make the Democratic Party go the way of the Whigs.
Now, through utter stupidity, through self-inflicted wounds, the Republican Party is a party that is on the verge of going the way of the Whigs.
And the reason we're talking about this isn't because we're just once again condemning the Republican Party for no good reason.
It's because you're talking about Obamacare.
You want to take out your frustrations on Obamacare.
You can't blame evil people for doing evil things.
That's what they do.
That's what the Democrats are always going to do.
But you can blame the Republicans for absolutely giving away their power.
I think Keith said it perfectly.
They were given a royal flush and they asked for a new deck, a new shuffle, a new dealer.
This is something that everything that the Democrats are doing, you can blame on the Republicans.
And I think that's the problem.
I think we've given you some examples of why that's true.
It's like Obama was Frankenstein's monster, and the Democratic Party was Dr. Frankenstein, but the Republican Party was Igor, the kind of half-crazed assistant that threw the switch and brought the monster to life.
There you go.
Well, the bottom line is, no matter who wins between those two parties on a national level, we're always going to lose.
And they both dance to the strings of the same puppet master.
And that's the truth that we can.
All sold and paid for by the globalists.
Well, and that's true.
And they've been infiltrated by the same neoconservative Zionist influences.
And, you know, you're going to get the same product.
You've got one that's just hardcore communist on the Democratic side, and you've got one that's a little more softer totalitarian with the Republicans.
You're going to hell in a handbasket, but with the Democrats in, you're going in overdrive.
And with the Republicans in, at best, you're going in second gear and maybe in third gear.
But you're still going in the same direction, just at a different speed.
But anyway, the only reason we're talking about that again, instead of talking about Obamacare and talking about how evil Obama is, everybody knows that's true, but we think that the blame for that is on the Republicans' shoulders.
Squarely on the shoulder of the Republicans.
You know, we hear about Oreos all the time, black people who are inauthentically black, that have the mindset of white people.
You know, it's amazing that something that exists so infrequently is mentioned so often, like Alan Keyes as an Oreo.
As an Oreo, heck, he's black on the outside and black on the inside, trying to support reparations for slavery as a Republican candidate.
What I am worried about is the reverse Oreo, a person who is white on the outside, but black on the inside.
That's the leadership.
That's a perfect description of the leadership of the Republican Party in America.
And when you're talking about that, you're talking about the tendencies, you know, this welfare state that they're wanting, this march towards globalism, everything that's bad, everything, all the stereotypes that people want to distance themselves from with the Democrats are beginning to manifest themselves within the Republican Party.
Not beginning to, at least, this has been true for at least a couple of decades now, at least.
And it's only getting worse.
Yeah, we're just, you know, we're leaderless.
Middle America is leaderless again because of the Republican Party being dominated by blue state liberal sellouts, rhinos, Rockefeller Republicans, neocons, country club Republicans, call them what you will.
But middle America is leaderless, and they're basically trying to destroy the middle class in America.
That's what the end result of all these socialist programs under Obama and under the Republicans will be.
Well, Keith has a very hot topic coming up next, and we're about to take a break, so we're going to cut off the conversation there.
So when we come back, we'll be fully reloaded.
You're going to want to really pay attention to what Keith's got in the next segment.
And then in the second and third hour tonight, just hold on tight, ladies and gentlemen.
Fasten your seatbelts.
The second hour, Winston Smith is going to present to you the top 10 most hateful comments made by so-called leaders in America this year.
And then in our final hour, a little more lighthearted, the year in review, top 10 moments of political cesspool 2009.
We'll be back right after this.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
We'll return.
Jump in the political says pool with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
The final show of 2009 for the Political Cesspool.
When we rejoin you again next Saturday, it'll be a new year, and we're excited about it.
I'll tell you, we're going to have another parade.
Entertainment people, actors, celebrated authors, noted journalists, professors, PhDs, you name it.
We're going to have them on.
We're going to have the leaders of this movement as we always bring to you each and every year.
And we always have a few surprises and a few moments that inevitably stand out each year as well.
We're going to be covering those moments, the top 10 moments here in the Political Cesspool for 2009 that's coming up later on in tonight's broadcast, but not before Winston Smith brings you the top 10 most hateful comments made in 2009.
That's going to be during tonight's second hour.
So you're really going to have a lot of fun in the remainder of the program tonight.
But before I turn it back over to Keith, who has just an incredibly interesting take on a topic that we're very familiar with, Keith, I've got to put you on the spot.
Favorite guest of 2009.
I know you're not going to be here in the studio when we do that segment a little later tonight.
Top of your head, favorite guest of the year?
Edmund Connolly.
Edmund Connolly.
And you were obviously here on that program when we interviewed Edmund a little earlier in the summer.
Definitely one we're going to talk about later, that's for sure.
Yeah, well, in fact, you know, it's hard.
You know, we've got an embarrassment of riches here at the CESPO.
We have managed to secure interviews with all of the top thinkers in conservative thought, particularly cultural and politically, not only in America, but throughout the world.
We had Nick Griffin, that was another great interview.
We've had Roger Devlin, another great interview.
We've had Jared Taylor, always a great interview.
Sam Dixon, always a great interview.
You know, just think of all the people that we've had.
Gordon Baum, who is always wonderful, the stalwart head of the Council of Conservative Citizens, which quite frankly, for my money, I think he's, you know, they do the best grassroots work of any truly conservative organization in America.
And we've had all those people on, Keith, and more leaders in their respective fields.
You were on for a very memorable program just a couple of months ago, in which during the same hour, we interviewed Richard Spencer and Paul Godfrey.
Obviously, Kevin McDonald has been back on the show in 2009 and so many more.
We're going to talk about that a little later on in tonight's broadcast.
But for your money, your favorite interview was Edmund Connolly, and certainly he was right up there with amongst the most brilliant.
Well, it's always good to get into ground that hasn't been overplowed.
And, you know, dealing with culture, with the movies, with television, things like that, which is what we did with Edmund Connolly, I think that always perks up the audience.
People have no idea the extent and the magnitude of the brainwashing that goes on from the left over, you know, innocent people just looking for entertainment.
And they have no idea how liberalism has poisoned the relationships between men and women in America, things like that.
Connolly and Devlin, they just hit the nail right on the head.
When you hit the nail on the head, you drive it straight.
Well, normally, in my vocabulary, diversity is a curse word, the way that's applied.
But when you talk about the diversity of guests we've had on this program, in terms of we've had a little something for everyone, no matter what your signature issue may be, no matter what part of the paleoconservative spectrum moves you, we've had, I think, or have tried to have leaders on in those respective fields.
So there has been a little bit of something for everybody, no matter what their pet issue is, we have tried to have someone to speak on that.
And I think over the course of the year, we've done a pretty good job.
But again, that's something we're going to be talking about in much more length and in greater detail during tonight's third hour.
So stay tuned for that.
But Keith, you have a very interesting take on something we call Holocaust hysteria here in the political system.
Holocaust hysteria this absolute paralyzing that seems to go on when people bring up the Holocaust.
The Jewish lobby, the Zionist lobby, just beats it into the ground, and we are now all expected to pay obeisance and burn incense at the shrine of the Holocaust.
Now, the surprising thing is that right after World War II, if it was such an unprecedented, horrendous affair, why was there so much silence about it from the Jewish community and from the community at large?
It was brought up, but nobody tried to suggest that it was an unprecedented thing.
There had been genocides before.
In fact, there have been many deadlier genocides both before and since.
The genocide of 36 million Russian and Ukrainian peasants in Bolshevik Russia, for example.
Or since then, we've had one-third of the population of Cambodia killed by the Marxist Paul Pot.
We've had the recently, Steve Cohen, our local congressman, got in trouble with Armenian activists because he wanted to shut down Armenian activists from pointing to the genocide of Armenians as a genocide.
This was back during the days of Ataturk and whatnot around right after World War I.
Now, why is it that the Jewish community insists that everybody be fixated on the Holocaust?
Why they go to such great expense to haul these wheezing oxygenarians with walkers and oxygen tanks back to Israel?
And if they can't get them prosecuted, like John Denjohnjuk, the so-called concentration camp guard in Israel, the Israeli court said he wasn't guilty.
They go up to Germany and they're going to make the Germans bow at the shrine and find this poor old soul guilty.
Why is it that the Holocaust has reached such a point of importance in human history that basically you cannot use the word Holocaust for anything else, not even its dictionary definition, which is a fiery, a destructive death-dealing fire, like the Hindenburg Holocaust, for example, of the Hindenburg blimp, not blimp, but Zeppelin coming down.
You can't call that a Holocaust anymore.
The only thing you can call a Holocaust is the attempted extermination of Jews during World War II or the Jewish population of Europe.
Why is that?
And, you know, I thought about it.
We've talked about this.
I think I've finally discovered the answer to that.
And I think the answer is this.
The Jewish population, particularly the leadership, wants a reserved ticket on the lifeboat when things start to come apart.
You know, basically what they want is they want to be able to say to other minorities when things start to come apart and when whites are persecuted, look, we're not white people.
We're Jews, and Jews are just like you.
We've been persecuted.
We're an oppressed minority.
So let us on board the lifeboat while the rest of the white population goes down with the Titanic.
That's the only thing I can make of all this, you know, craziness about it.
You know, first of all, it's obvious that a large number of Jewish people were killed during World War II in concentration camps and otherwise.
You know, so don't try to say that anybody at the cesspool is a Holocaust denier because we're not.
But on the other hand, why has this been elevated to this level of importance?
And I think that's the reason.
I remember when Mike Wallace, you know, the newscaster, 60 Minutes guy, back in the 60s, was interviewing some black power advocate.
It might have been Rat Brown or maybe Stokely Carmichael.
And he tried to get him to admit that blacks had made progress in the civil rights movement.
And this black power advocate said, no, we haven't.
You white people this and you white people that.
And Mike Wallace was so taken aback, he went back and stammered out, but I'm Jewish.
So in other words, they don't consider themselves white.
They consider themselves Jewish.
So, you know, that is just more support for this idea that somehow they're trying to get a special dispensation for themselves through the Holocaust.
When you told me this theory earlier in the week, as we prepare in advance of the program, as we do every week, I thought that this was just incredibly insightful and certainly worthy of a segment here on the program.
It makes a lot of sense.
And that and for other reasons.
Certainly they've cashed in on Holocaust hysteria, all of the movies and the books, and it makes for a great story.
And again, it's interesting.
I had a blog entry earlier that, you know, normally at the Christmas season, we're treated to as many as six Hollywood movies on the Holocaust.
Right.
You know, well, I mean, that's what I'm talking about.
I've never heard that.
It's a movie.
Why is it that I haven't ever seen or heard of a movie about the Russian Holocaust or the Armenian Holocaust or Paul Pott?
There's a Killingfields, one movie about that.
Well, the people who died in the Bolshevik Revolution, they're not the heads of movie studios in Hollywood either.
But the thing about it is, Keith, is this, you know, it's a multi-billion dollar...
They probably died for a good cause, a cause of spreading Marxism all over the world.
Well, sure.
And it's a multi-billion dollar industry.
You know, they should have been glad to die, I guess.
Sure, absolutely.
And it's a multi-billion dollar industry now, and it's a way that they can guilt white people that.
And many other things, as you've mentioned, are the reasons it exists.
But there's no doubt about it that there were a lot, a lot of discrepancies with history and what is claimed to have occurred during Nazi-occupied Germany.
But another thing is, as you mentioned also, this Holocaust hysteria didn't catch on until the late 50s, early 60s, some decade after World War II.
Furthermore, they used to claim the number killed at 11 million, then it's gradually been revised down to where it's now 6 million.
You know, what's going on with this?
It seems like the more that it goes down, the more important it becomes.
It's just, you know, it obviously has this importance in the eyes of the Jewish community.
Well, Keith, with that being said, we're flying out of time this hour.
We might have to pick that up at the top of next week.
But we've got to take a break, ladies and gentlemen.
The second and third hour is still forthcoming tonight, so stay tuned.
We're going to have a lot of fun.
I'll be back right after this.
That's so God in the Bible.
They were jumping fumes and shouting, Hallelujah.
Well, Harv hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
Harr thought he had a weed eater loose in his fruit of the balloons.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg and the squirrel ran out of his britching leg unobserved to the other side of the room.
