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.
Welcome, my friends, back to another live edition of the Political Sess Pool Radio Program.
It is Saturday evening, February the 6th, and it is great to be back with you tonight after missing last week.
And I did miss everyone last week.
Believe it or not, the humble correspondents of your hosting staff do have nominal social lives outside of our duties as talk radio hosts.
And I was obligated to attend a long-standing family commitment last week.
But Bill Roland, who stood in for me as host, of course, as well as Keith Alexander, who joined him for the first hour, did an absolutely phenomenal job.
It's always fun on the rare occasion.
I do get to step back and take a week off to listen to the show without me on it.
And I just thought they did an amazing job.
I had the opportunity to listen to the replay here on AM 1380 during the week and then listen to a couple of hours on the internet as well.
Great show last week, which featured Craig Bodaker and Jared Taylor as guests.
And I'm sure you enjoyed it as much as I did.
But I'm back now and we're going to try to have an equally productive program this evening as Keith Alexander now joins me in the studio once again.
Keith, how are you, my friends?
I'm doing great.
I haven't gotten a report on Jersey Boys yet.
I understand you went to see that this weekend.
Yes, I did.
Speaking of nominal social activities, that was actually one of the bigger ones for me.
My wife and I went to Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons, how that group, which is, of course, my favorite group with hits like Sherry and Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, and so many others.
They sold over 150 million records.
And we have had one of the original founding members of the Four Seasons, actually the man who put them together, Tommy DeVito, on this show in the past.
And great guy.
Anyway, we did go to the show last night, and it was just amazing there downtown at the Orpheum Theater in Memphis.
Loved every second of it.
You can't beat the music.
Folks, do yourself a favor and listen to any four season song will do.
And it'll put you in just a better spirit and in a sunnier disposition, I guarantee you.
But yes, we did have a great night last night, Keith.
Thanks for asking.
And of course, the Seth Pool crew ourselves, the hosting staff and crew of the show based here in Memphis, we've done our own social activities over the course of the past couple of weeks.
First of all, with that diaper party, which was a lot of fun.
We won't go into too many details about that.
The diaper party, of course, I'm about to be a father for the first time, so we kind of had a little get together at a local restaurant.
But more importantly, well, I don't know, more importantly, but of equal importance, at least politically speaking.
Keith, as you know, we journeyed out this week and saw the new Mel Gibson movie, Edge of Darkness, a great movie, and we're going to be talking about it in much more detail during tonight's second hour when we're joined by film director and producer Merlin Miller of Americana Pictures.
He is going to be reviewing Edge of Darkness from a director's perspective.
So we're going to get a lot more in-depth information about Edge of Darkness, the new Mel Gibson vehicle, in the second hour.
But Keith, what did you think about it when the Seth Bull crew took to the theaters a couple of days ago?
Well, it's always great to socialize.
And of course, we're a very gregarious group.
We like to get together, like to enjoy one another's company.
And we felt a particular need and a bond to support Mel Gibson's work since his father, Hutton Gibson, had been on the show recently.
And you know, at the time that we did that interview, you and Bill did, by the way, not me, but that was back on, not to interrupt, Keith, but January 9th of this year, Hutton Gibson was our guest.
Of course, we're an hour longer.
That's why there was so much silence from the media.
We got, I think, one blog person that our keeper that did a pretty big article about it.
But it was obvious that they were lying in wait for the premiere of Mel Gibson's latest movie, Edge of Darkness.
And then the typical Hollywood left candidates, led by none other than transvestite Perez Hilton, led the charge and tried to discredit Mel Gibson through his father for being on the political cesspool.
So, you know, we're apparently a convenient lash that they can try to beat people with from time to time.
But you know what?
It just rolls off us like water off a duck's back, doesn't it, James?
Well, it does, because and the reason we are able to have it roll off of our backs as such is because we're doing nothing wrong.
What are we doing here?
We're telling the truth.
We're trying to do it in as a non-sensational manner as humanly possible.
Sometimes the truth does hurt, though.
Hutton Gibson is a man, a World War II veteran, a student of the seminary, former Jeopardy champion, all around blue-collar American.
He's a man who understands the truth sometimes, certain.
He came on this show to share in the truth with us.
And in case people don't know who Perez Hilton is, he is, as Keith mentioned, the vile homosexual blogger who shot to fame by adding obscene graffiti to celebrity photographs.
Basically, he's a television personality.
He frequently appears on E-news and MTV and VH1, basically just dishing out on celebrity gossip.
But you might remember him even more fondly, if I might use that word, as he was the judge last year who used the Miss America pageant as a platform to promote homosexual so-called marriage and of course became very infamous for his attack on Miss California Carrie Prajine when he asked her what she thought of homosexual marriage.
She said not much and he just went ballistic.
Well that's the Perez Hilton we're talking about, the same man who attacked Hutton Gibson in the political festival on unfortunately his very widely read blog.
But in response to that, in response to that, and all this happened, as Keith said, the week before Mel Gibson's new movie premiered.
It didn't happen the week Hutton Gibson came on the show.
It happened nearly a month later on the cusp of this release of Edge of Darkness.
But Hutton Gibson, true patriot standing in the form we would expect, has risen to the occasion and stood with the good guys on this one.
And in doing so, he has posted on his website just a couple of days ago a very prominent link at huttongibson.com linking to our website, thepoliticalspool.org.
And he even went above and beyond that in posting the entire audio of that interview on his website.
So Keith, obviously in our corner, we have people like Pat Buchanan.
We have people like Hutton Gibson and so many others, if you look at our guest list, who proudly stand with us because they know what we're doing here is honorable.
And even though the Cretans in the establishment media would say we're controversial, we know we're doing nothing more and nothing less than putting America first.
And so in our corner, we have people like Buchanan and Gibson and in the SPLC's corner and in the ADL's corner they have degenerates like Perez Hilton.
And you know, if you gotta stand on one side or the other, I like the side of the line we're on, Keith.
I do too.
And you know, it obviously unmasks Perez Hilton.
fact that the two times we've heard about him in the past years, one on Hutton Gibson and two on Carrie Pragine, a Miss America contestant, shows that basically his whole function in life, besides shocking and dismaying people that like natural sex and normal family relationships,
his whole role is to beat down and marginalize conservatives wherever they may dare to rear their heads.
You know, he's going to take pot shots at them.
And, you know, I'm sorry, Perez, America isn't going in your direction.
The Tea Party movement shows that people are going in the opposite direction from Perez Hilton.
And Perez Hilton hopefully will be a forgotten footnote in history before long.
Well, Keith, I certainly echo your sentiment there, and certainly he should be.
And if we have anything to do about it, he will be.
And I think that the remarkable success of this radio program also stands as a testament to the fact that perhaps America, or at least a lot of normal Americans, are beginning to stand up and be counted because the success of this show, the fact that we've been able to not only survive, but truly thrive, at least in terms of growth, if not financially, after six years of being on the air, and then you've got the Tea Party movement.
And so there are definitely some things out there that would allow us to invest a little hope.
But we're going to talk much more about that over the course of the program this evening.
As I said, I'm mentioning Edge of Darkness and the recent Hutton Gibson interview and the subsequent attack.
And it wasn't just Perez Hilton, Hollywood 411, apparently a pretty big Hollywood gossip blog.
A lot of the Hollywood gossip rags were mentioning the appearance that Hutton Gibson made on this program last month.
So we got a little injection of publicity there.
And, you know, when you're doing a job, that's something that comes with it.
And some people wither in the spotlight, and we seem to just continue on unabated.
It doesn't really affect us one way or another.
But we're going to be talking with director Merlin Miller about the film Edge of Darkness.
We're going to do what we can to support the film, not because we like Mel Gibson and his dead, but because it's a film that has some, what would you call it, Keith?
Just some political themes that certainly would resonate with the audience of this radio program.
Well, Mel Gibson isn't afraid to be countercultural.
And in the present culture we have, being countercultural means being conservative.
He takes a conservative viewpoint about government intrusiveness.
Now, I mean a true conservative position on this.
He doesn't like America's intrusive apparatus, you know, government speech and stuff and all that.
Got to take a break, Keith.
We'll pick it up with that right after this.
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.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the program, The Political Cesspool.
It is February 6th, Saturday night.
We're live.
It's good to be back with you after missing last week's show due to a family function.
It's James Edwards and Keith Alexander here on AM 1380W LRM Radio.
And just to conclude the banter that we had going on in the first hour before we move on to more important matters, I guess.
I just want to reiterate, Keith, that, you know, we're just three months in.
Or excuse me, we're only the second month.
It's just the second month of the year.
And we've already deposited into our broadcast archives all new interviews, of course, with the likes of Gordon Baum, Craig Bottaker, who was on last week, Sam Dixon, Dr. Kevin McDonald, Merlin Miller, who will be on tonight, Reverend Ted Pike, Jared Taylor.
They've all appeared already on this program in the early goings of this calendar year.
And I guess you would say the biggest splash was the Hutton-Gibson interview and then the vitriol that it elicited from the Hollywood types.
But you know, I was thinking about that too.
You know, I don't know for sure whether or not Mel Gibson is really a conservative or if he's just an independent thinker.
But one thing I can say, he seems to attract the same list of enemies that we do, doesn't he, James?
Well, I can almost guarantee you he is a tried and true paleoconservative just based upon the films he has made once he has become pretty much disconnected, once he became big enough to disconnect himself from the Zionist umbilical cord there.
And as he got older and started to think things through more completely, I think he's come to the same point in the forest that we're at.
I know for a fact, after having worked for the Buchanan campaign back in 2000, that he was, in fact, a contributor.
Pat Buchanan has said it on national television interviews, in fact, that this is one of the guys standing in this corner.
And of course, Mel seconded that.
So we know at least he voted for Buchanan.
But Keith, we've got to move on to some other things.
But before we do, I know you quickly wanted to revisit a point that you and Bill Rowland had taken up last week.
Right.
Bill was asking about me to comment on Ben Bernanke's reappointment as head of the Federal Reserve System.
You know, he took Alan Greenspan's place.
And quite frankly, it caught me a little flat-footed.
I've done some research in the meantime, and I'd like to share that with the audience.
Bernanke is Jewish and came from the unlikely locale of Dillon, Georgia, where his parents owned a drugstore.
He went to Harvard, of course, and then to MIT for a Ph.D.
He's an economist.
And he, like Norman Minetta, who I was comparing him to, tend to be these are seem to be primary examples of this phenomenon of a Washington insider that basically floats seamlessly from Democratic to Republican administrations back and forth.
And it tells you that, you know, basically, you know, the more things change, the more they stay the same in Hollywood.
Norman Minetta, likewise, is a product of Berkeley, you know, University of California, Berkeley, the, you know, most liberal place, home of the free speech movement back in 1964, radical to the MAX near San Francisco.
He's a Japanese American who apparently was scarred by the experience of being interned in an internment camp for Japanese Americans for a year or so during World War II.
And as a result, what's so ironic about these men is that they probably presided over the two greatest disasters of the past decade.
And rather than being punished and driven out of office, they are rewarded by reappointment.
Minetta, of course, is a big liberal, a non-not a white Gentile or anything.
So consequently, he was inalterably opposed to racial profiling, and he made that the centerpiece of his administration as head of the Department of Transportation.
And we know that this contributed to the 9-11, 2001 disaster where the Twin Towers came down.
We know this because the ticket taker for Mohammed Atta and his compadre in Boston was a gentleman named Michael Tooley, who was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, of all people.
And he said that when Muhammad Atta and his friend came up to get their tickets, he immediately froze and said, if there was ever a pair of Arab terrorists anywhere, this is them.
But he remembered that just very briefly before this, maybe within the month, he had been made to attend a sensitivity session at USAID in which they said anyone employed by us who racially profiles and pulls an Arab or a Muslim person out for special scrutiny and it turns out to be, you know, doesn't bear fruit, that person is going to be fired.
So Michael Thule basically swept his gut feelings and his normal and natural inhibitions to the side, let these people on board, and as a result, 3,000 innocent Americans died in 9-11.
So is Minetta castigated for this?
No.
He's rewarded and reappointed from, he was a Clinton administration person and was reappointed by George W. Bush.
Then, Ben Bernanke presided over the financial meltdown that almost sucked the world's economy into a black hole.
And he did this again because he was infected with liberalism.
Liberalism made him support this minority mortgage scheme under the Community Reinvestment Act in which banks and mortgage companies were forced to make loans to bad credit risks if they were black or Hispanic or, you know, belonged to some other favored minority.
And this is precisely what was bundled into these Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities, securitized mortgage bundles.
And when they started predictably defaulting on their loans, they almost sucked the world's economy down with them.
And again, Bernanke, you know, he was, as Pat Buchanan said, in the wheelhouse of the Titanic when it struck the iceberg.
But is he punished?
No.
He's rewarded.
That's because liberals are in charge, ladies and gentlemen.
And liberalism, as Michael Savage says, is a mental disorder.
And you see what the results are, 9-11 and the financial meltdown.
Chalk them up to liberalism, James.
Well, Keith, I couldn't have put it any better myself.
And thank you for preparing that commentary.
A follow-up to an issue that you and Bill raised on last week's program.
So we like to be thorough in our examining of any given issue or topic here on this program.
And Keith, I think you wrapped it up with a nice little bow on it.
Well, thanks.
I appreciate that.
What do you want to go to now?
We've got some local things, and we've also got Black History Month coming up.
What do you want to tackle next, James?
Well, I tell you, we don't have enough time in this segment to really get into what I want to talk about concerning Black History Month.
And it pertains to an article that I saw on the front page of the USA Today on the first day of February, which is the month that they claim is Black History Month.
We're going to get into that, though, after the commercial break that is breathing right down our necks.
But Keith, we have a couple of seconds before that.
And in order to fill that time, I'd like for you to share with the audience, if you can, in that short window we have available, the picture you saw from San Francisco, California a couple of days ago.
Oh, yeah, it was a great picture.
I think I sent it to you.
It was a picture of some of the head people in the San Francisco Police Department.
One was former police chief named, I think it was something wrong or something.
She was an Oriental American, looked like she had just escaped from a concentration camp.
She was skinny, bony, looked as weak as a kitten.
Hey, Keith, hold it right there as you paint that verbal picture.
We do have to take that break.
I knew it was coming up quicker than I anticipated.
We're going to tell you, we're going to get to the point of this right after this.
You're going to want to hear it.
Stay tuned.
The political cesspool continues right after these words from our fine sponsors on the Liberty News Radio Network.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
Show and express your opinion in the Political Says poll.
Call us toll free at 1-866-986-6397.
Well, there they were right there, Keith.
The four seasons, the Jersey Boys, if you will.
Welcome back to the show.
James Edwards and Keith Alexander here with you in the political cesspool for the first hour of tonight's live broadcast coming to you from AM 1380, WLRM Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, and of course going out via satellite as well to the AM-FM affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
Before that last commercial break, we were talking about a picture that I guess was carried by the Associated Press from a meeting in San Francisco.
This is where the left would want to take America, but we're not going to let that happen.
This is what they want America to look like.
We're not going to let it happen.
But Keith, continue on with your verbal payment.
Okay, let me just describe this picture to you.
It shows on the left, Chief Heather Fong, first San Francisco Police Department female and former police chief.
And flanking her are Teresa Sparks, center, former male, president of the San Francisco Police Commission, and the CEO of a multi-million dollar sex toy retailer and a transgendered woman.
And you said former.
Or him, whichever one you want to call it.
You said former male.
Yeah, former male, transgender woman.
And then we have next to that, Sergeant Stephen Thorne, Wright, former female, first transgender San Francisco Police Department police officer.
Now, I tell you what, it reminds me of what my brother-in-law, former brother-in-law, used to say about New York.
He lived there with my sister, and he said, between gay Greenwich Village and the feet east side, they're about to stamp out heterosexuality altogether up here in Manhattan.
Well, what was happening there in the 70s apparently has taken full flower in San Francisco.
And, you know, wouldn't it be nice, you know, if San Francisco, if this is San Francisco and the police department in San Francisco, you know, rather than discouraging them, I would encourage them to secede from the union.
You know, they basically are on a different wavelength.
And wherever you've gone, San Francisco, we don't want to follow you there.
Yeah, that's the truth.
And on a larger scale, although very similar, you have the handful of people in this country who celebrate what they claim is Black History Month.
Now, I'm not going to get into debunking all of the inventions that they claim that black Americans have made.
We know that about nine out of every 10, in fact, can be debunked and can be traced back to what 99% of all inventions are.
And they have, you know, just, as a matter of fact, come from the minds of Europeans or people derived from Europe.
But anyway, the point of this is, in the big celebratory, I mean, it was above and below the fold.
It was the entire front page of the USA Today and then, of course, several pages within.
They were celebrating on February 1st of this year, Black History Month.
And the thing that got me is that they got two of these old war horses from the civil rights, so-called civil rights movement for interviews, people that participated in the infamous sit-ins at the Woolworth store.
Well, they got these guys up, and what they said, Keith, to me, it not only insulted me, it infuriated me.
They claimed that they had organized, talking about the black citizens of the South in particular back in the early 60s, had, by themselves and themselves alone, organized, funded, accomplished everything that was accomplished during the so-called civil rights movement.
They did it themselves.
And in fact, the direct quote was that everything they did, they did against the system.
They had to fight the entire federal government in order to win.
They had no help from anyone but themselves.
And it goes on and on.
You can consult the USA Today of February 1st for more information.
But, you know, it got me to thinking, Keith, you know, man, am I just crazy or was it the federal government that integrated the schools at the point of a bayonet in states like Arkansas and Mississippi and Alabama?
Or, you know, God, that almost looked like the government.
And it almost looked like the government, you know, white politicians who signed into law the civil rights initiatives.
I mean, I thought they did it all themselves, Keith.
How they do all that without the government?
How do they integrate the schools without the government?
How do they write the laws without the government?
You know, the government didn't help them at all if you read that newspaper article.
What am I missing here?
Well, what you're missing is the fact that blacks have apparently contracted hutsbuff from their allies in the Jewish community.
They apparently feel that they've accomplished everything on their own.
And of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
Basically, this was just another manifestation of the fact that the South in America has been treated like a colony ever since the end of the era of good feelings in 1824.
And we've had people from outside of the region come in and enforce their viewpoint and their folkways and their way of life on us, often at the point of the bayonet at, let's say, the Civil War, during Reconstruction, then during the Civil Rights Movement at places like Little Rock Central High School and then the Ole Miss for integration.
And blacks were basically the beneficiaries of all of this, you know, outside meddling with the South.
And the whole thing was financed by people like there's a Julius Rosenwald charity that first in the 30s built schools for blacks in the rural South.
And then they're the ones that financed the Civil Rights Movement.
They're the ones that paid for the hotels, paid for the motels, paid for the food, provided lodging and everything else for all of these demonstrators going to Selma and places like that, for example.
And, you know, the idea that these three guys that were, I think, college students at the time basically turned America on its pivot by their efforts is absurd.
These people were symbolic, and if it hadn't been widely reported by northern news media and splashed all over the world, this thing, it would have done nothing.
Their efforts, quite frankly, were minimal.
They were the foot soldiers, but the people that were really working things out were the people in the media and in the federal government that wanted to affect this change, regardless of what the people in the South felt about it.
Well, you know, Keith, if you want the truth to come out, and unfortunately, I feel compelled to tell the truth in this program as a reaction to that obscene story in the USA Today is so disconnected from reality.
It's just, again, it's insulting.
Obviously, the facts are that the civil rights movement was funded, organized, aided, and abetted by not only the Jewish community at the time, but of course the entire federal government.
Kennedy was saying, what Kennedy did in Alabama was grotesque.
The only mistake George Wallace ever made was leaving the school that day.
But it just goes without saying that all of this was done.
And in fact, they had a complicit media.
The media, you know, King, later on, a lot of people did become followers of him, and he did amass large crowds.
But in the beginning, he would have just a smattering of people.
But of course, the media would say, you know, thousands of people showed up to march with the so-called Dr. King.
Well, the media was complicit.
The government was complicit.
The Jewish financiers were complicit.
The actual black Americans at the time had very little to do with.
Well, there were pawns in the whole game, if you want to just know the truth of the matter.
And, you know, white southerners are portrayed as these violent throwbacks, you know, semi-humans for resisting it.
And it's always been strange to me to consider this.
What would happen, James, if you and I moved to Israel and started organizing Palestinian freedom rides throughout Israel, covered by the world media, pointing out the second-class status of Palestinians in Israeli society.
Go to an apartheid state like Israel where segregation is the law where they landlords.
And I'm not opposed to any of that, of course.
You know, I agree in our most basic true civil rights, freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, things of that nature.
But Israel is an apartheid state.
So, yeah, what would happen, Keith, if we went over there and tried to pull the same stunt?
Well, I don't think we'd last a week, quite frankly, and we'd either be arrested and thrown out of the country if we were lucky, or else we would be killed over there.
Segregation is alive and well, and if you don't believe it, go to Israel and see how the Palestinians are treated over there.
Well, and that leads me up to another point here.
Like I said, when I see something that's just so far removed from the truth in a newspaper like the USA Today, when I see them allowing quotes to be published that are just absolute fiction and fantasy, you know, if we don't address it on this program, who in America will?
And, you know, that's just one of the things we're charged to do here in the political set.
You know, one of the things that amazed me about that article is that they apparently were going to save that Warworce building that was slated for being torn down, and somebody ponied up $700,000 to do it.
Now, who did that?
I doubt that the local black community in Montgomery, Alabama got that money together.
I'd like to see that.
We'll revisit it some more when we return.
Much more to come 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 game.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Welcome back to the show.
We are the Political Cesspool Radio Program, the voice of the American Right.
I'm your host, James Edwards, joined by Keith Alexander, the co-hosting chair, at least for the first hour.
Got a lot more in store for you as the political cesspool rolls on tonight.
We'll be joined later by another political cesspool co-host, Eddie the Bombardier Miller, is on deck a little later on in the program, but not before the second hour, where we interview film director and producer Merlin Miller.
He's going to be reviewing Mel Gibson's new movie, The Edge of Darkness, from a director's perspective.
So we're going to be getting a lot more information about that film and how perhaps we can use the media and films, movies, to project a more positive image instead of the trash that we are accustomed to seeing when we go see movies in this day and age.
But, Keith, going back to a topic we were discussing in the last segment, another thing that liberals will always tell you is that race doesn't exist.
Race is not a determining factor in any way, shape, or form.
The disparities in crime rates, the disparities in IQ, the disparities in the success of school achievement, the disparities in the success of the European nations versus the just the appearance of neighborhoods.
All of that.
All of that is a figment of our imagination.
And if it does exist, well, race has nothing to do with the discrepancies.
But on the other hand, if that is in fact the case, just another typical liberal hypocrisy in play here, what's significant about the election of Barack Obama?
If race doesn't exist, why is it significant that a black man is now the president of the United States?
What's significant about that?
Well, it's obviously a heads-you-win tails, I mean, heads-I win, tails-you-lose proposition.
Race is very significant for liberals, but if conservatives try to bring up the issue of race, and it's totally irrelevant, and it just shows the depravity of your heart that you would even mention it.
Exactly.
So, you basically summarize it there in the articulate way that I was looking for.
So, anyway, race doesn't exist if it substantiates our political philosophies, but it always exists if it benefits the well, you can't call them the minorities if there is anything such as a minority.
The Europeans are a global minority.
But there is one black politician here in Memphis, of course, as you know, Keith, the former Memphis mayor, Willie Harrington.
To him, race certainly exists as it does exist to every non-white.
And so, what?
It should exist, and it does exist.
And I'm not blaming them for noticing that it exists.
I'm not faulting their ethnocentricity.
But what makes this interesting, what Willie Harrington did, the former mayor of Memphis, what he did last week, because it just we have got a perfect storm brewing here in Memphis.
It is stormy.
This is, like you said, the perfect storm.
We've got a congressional seat.
You know, every two years, the congressional seats in the U.S. Congress come up.
And the congressional seat is currently held by one of the, you know, most extreme hard leftists that you could imagine, a Jewish fellow from Memphis named Steve Cohen, who is immediately upon ascending to the position of the U.S. Congressman from the 9th District of Tennessee, Davy Crockett's whole district, ironically enough.
He's become the lapdog of Nancy Pelosi.
He's become a great favorite among all the extreme liberals throughout the nation.
And he's being challenged in this majority black district by the former black mayor of Memphis, Willie Harrington, whose campaign lockstock and barrel consists solely of saying black people need to be represented by a black congressman.
No one but a black person can do this.
I'm black.
Cohen isn't.
If you think Keith is exaggerating, let me allow Keith to provide further evidence.
This is all Willie Harrington has ever campaigned on.
He officially launched his campaign for the United States Congress last week on an appearance on one of the local affiliates here in town.
And Keith, what did he bring to the table in that interview?
Well, his sole prompt was a photograph of the Tennessee congressional delegation.
Nine congressmen, two senators, and he said, what's wrong with this picture?
Well, what was wrong with the picture is that all 11 of those people were white.
And he said, blacks make up 16% of the population of Tennessee.
We need black representation.
This 9th congressional district was intentionally gerrymandered under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 so black could be elected.
So all people of goodwill owe it to their state and to their nation to make sure that you vote for a black to fill this seat.
And I'm black.
Steve Cohen isn't.
I don't care whether Steve Cohen has been serving your interests, whether he's been adequate from your viewpoint in any way.
You got to forget that, kick him out, and put me in because I'm black.
And I mean, this is so wonderful, James, because this is a situation where we as conservatives can't lose.
Somebody's going to lose, and either one that loses, quite frankly, will be cause for rejoicing.
It's just a shame that we don't have a conservative alternative running that might be able to slip in the back door while these two liberals beat each other's brains out in the upcoming campaign.
Well, that's absolutely right.
And to issue a little caveat into this, Keith and I should be forthright in telling you that if we were allowed to vote in that district, I don't live in that district.
I live in the suburbs, so I'm in the 7th district.
But we would vote for Harrington.
We'd vote for the black guy.
Tell him why, Keith.
Well, Willie Harrington is just out to line his pockets and to improve his stock.
Whereas Steve Cohen is a full-blown cultural Marxist.
There is no left-wing position too extreme that Steve Cohen doesn't embrace it.
Like we said before, there's been no liberal bandwagon that's ever rolled through Memphis that Steve Cohen hasn't jumped on enthusiastically with both feet.
And that's not to say that Willie Harrington is any better, but Willie Harrington is just your typical two-bit corrupt politician, whereas Steve Cohen has enough smarts to be very, very destructive.
He's such an extreme leftist.
You know, I shudder to think of what he's allowed to propose next.
He's allowed to propose that 10-year-olds be made to marry other people of their same sex or something like that.
You know, there's nothing too extreme for Steve Cohen.
And let me say this also.
He's in outer space.
You know, he would make Vladimir Lenin blush.
He would.
But at the same time, you just can't shame him.
This is a guy, Steve Cohen, the Jewish representative of the 9th Congressional District of Tennessee.
His first act upon being elected a couple of years ago was to attempt to join the black congressional caucus, and they turned him out on his face.
And yet he still continues.
And you know what he said in that little episode, James?
He said that he had the political instincts of a black woman.
And this was used against him on a black talk show, radio show in Memphis on Friday.
I remember tuning in, and it was obviously a plant, somebody calling into this show, and she was saying, I'm a black woman.
I don't have anything to do with a white man.
She said, what white man would think that he's got something to do with me unless he's gay?
Now, see, Steve Cohen is unmarried in his 50s, and the black community is just unloading full ball with innuendos about his sexual preference.
And, of course, the traditional white liberals are aghast.
How dare the Harrington camp do this?
Well, that's just give them the raz.
I mean, they give them the Bronx cheer.
They say, we're totally unfettered by political correctness.
You don't tell us what's off bounds.
We're going after him on that issue.
In fact, the whole point of this show for about an hour was somebody was claiming that Steve Cohen had a rainbow decal on the back of his bumper or something on his car.
And there were, you know, all these salacious comments about that.
It's going to be fun to watch.
I'm just going to enjoy it.
Listen, I only wish people were.
That's why the political cesspool had to be based in Memphis.
It wasn't because we all live here.
It's because there can't be a better representation of.
Memphis is a laboratory for liberalism.
And speaking of laboratories, Keith.
And the problems of liberal policies, examine Memphis.
Yeah, and speaking of laboratories, the reason I would have to hope, like you said, we don't have a dog in this fight anyway.
So if one of them has to win, I go with Harrington.
I believe he's less dangerous because he's only in it for himself.
And I would love to see Frankenstein's monster get his comeuppance.
I mean, you know, these folks, going back to what we were saying earlier, people like Harrington have been put into power by the tenets of this radical social egalitarianism that people like Cohen over the decades have instilled.
And so it would be great to see one of their pawns come back and take a little power from the master, so to speak.
So I'll tell you what he shows.
We'll see how it plays out, but keep that all the time.
We're out of time.
100% down the line for the interests of blacks in Memphis.
Because he's not black.
I'm predicting he's going to lose this race.
But we're going to see what happens.
That gets back to what we're saying.
We're saying all the power structure in Memphis and all the big money from out of the city is coming in to try to save Cohen.
And we'll see if that's enough.
We'll see if race exists or does it not exist within the minds of the black voters when they go to vote for the city.
We're going to take our first break of the hour.
We'll be back with a second L right after this.
Right after these messages.
And Harve leaped to his feet and says, Someone's got a hold on me.
Yeah!
The day the squirrel went berserk in the first self-righteous church in that sleeping little town of Pastor Goodlove.
It was a fight for survival that folk got in revival.
They were jumping pews and shouting, Hallelujah!
Well, Harve hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
And Harve thought he had a weed eater loose in his proven balloons.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the squirrel ran out of his britch's leg unobserved to the other side of the room.
