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.
And welcome, everybody, to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's Saturday night, September 10th, and I'm coming to you now live from the belly of the beast itself, Washington, D.C.
Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, I am calling you this evening from my hotel room, which is a beautiful, old-timey, boutique hotel two blocks away from the White House, two blocks away from the Capitol building.
Everything here.
We are absolutely in the nerve center of Washington, D.C.
And I'm calling in tonight to our studio where Keith Alexander sits and is waiting there in Memphis.
Keith, how are things going at our flagship station, AM 1380 WLRM this evening?
Well, they're fine, but you're apparently in the political cesspool, not us.
Yeah, listen, we finally got to do it.
We finally got to do the political cesspool from the, well, you know, Memphis is the political cesspool.
You know, it's kind of like the B team, but we're with the first rockers tonight.
You know, we are in the morning.
That's the big leagues up there.
Well, I'll tell you this.
You know, despite the fact, you know, everyone knows how corrupt Washington is, and we might not like anything that it stands for.
But I will tell you this, in all honesty, Washington, D.C., at least the part where I'm at, which is, again, near the hub of everything, you know, a stone's throw away from the Smithsonian and the Capitol and the White House and every other, the mall, the Washington Monument, everything that you think about being in Washington, we are within walking distance in any direction of whatever you can imagine.
We're just right here in the heart of it all.
And I will say this, Washington, D.C. is a world-class city.
I am talking about absolutely jaw-dropping architecture, the ornate buildings, the marble columns.
It's just a shame that everything that comes out of this city is so wretched because it is an incredibly inspiring place.
Well, that's your tax dollars at work and the rest of Red State America and Blue State America's tax dollars at work.
If they relied upon the indigenous population, you'd be seeing nothing but an unrelenting row of shotgun shacks in a various state of decay up there, James.
Well, there's certainly nothing that can be argued with your statement there, Keith.
But of course, ladies and gentlemen, in case you don't know, and if you've listened to the show in recent months, I don't know how you couldn't because we have been promoting it in our commercial breaks on the air and on the website.
I am, of course, in Washington tonight as I continue my speaking tour across the country this September, speaking at the National Policy Institute Conference.
And let me tell you something, folks.
I have been to, I've done a lot of public appearances over the course of the last few years, including one last week, which went very well in eastern Tennessee.
I spoke to a Republican club, and of course, Bill and Keith held down the Ford in a show that the listeners called liquid gold.
In fact, they did so good, I was thinking about taking another week off, but I just couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it not, I couldn't miss bringing the show from Washington.
But anyway, the National Policy Institute, that's where I'm at.
The conference itself is actually still wrapping up.
I had to cut out a little bit early to get back to the hotel in time to call into the studio this evening.
But yesterday I spoke at the very prestigious National Press Club, very famous national press club.
It's hosted any number of elected officials, celebrities, presidents.
That's where they go to give these press conferences.
If they're not doing it at the White House itself, then to have joined the club there, so to speak, was something that is definitely a feather in the cap of yours truly and the political cesspool.
And I'll tell you, you know, another thing I love about Washington, Keith, the National Press Club, I spoke there along with Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor, who will both be calling in later on in the show tonight.
The second hour is going to be dedicated entirely to recapping this conference.
But we were the three that spoke there.
And right across the street, there was a theater showing the Jersey Boys.
I had to get Jared Taylor to pinch me to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
The Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons, playing right across the street from the National Press Club where I spoke yesterday.
I mean, that's just a convergence of everything that's righteous and holy.
Well, it was a smart move for somebody to put in the National Press Club because that's a public venue.
And if it were at a private venue, I'm sure the people that have shut down Jared's annual conference for the past two years would have worked their magic.
Yeah, they would have called in death threats and bomb threats and everything else.
Yeah, so we're learning.
We're learning.
And the people at National Policy Institute, of course, are so smart they don't have to learn.
But I'm glad to see that you found a way around that and that everything went off without a hitch.
Not only did it go off without a hitch, Keith, let me tell you, it was a standing room-only crowd.
Every seat was filled.
People lined up against the walls.
There was press in attendance.
You know, I got a little burst of what it feels like to be hounded by the paparazzi.
You know, the flashes from cameras going off incessantly while we spoke.
And then, you know, press crews there with their video equipment.
And then, of course, the attendees themselves, wildly enthusiastic to hear such a strong and determined message.
And I think we presented our case very articulately, very professionally, very polished.
And that was yesterday.
And then, of course, today, from 9 a.m., and it's still ongoing for another hour or two.
The main conference is in session.
I had the opportunity to deliver another lecture this morning.
Jared and Richard and myself were the only people who were asked to speak twice, once yesterday, of course, and then again today.
But the caliber of people here, and we're going to talk more about this in the second hour.
We dedicate the entire hour to the exclusive coverage of this thing.
The caliber of people here, not just the speakers, who, again, we will share more information about later, but the attendees, clean-cut, squared-away, highly intelligent, highly successful businessmen, students going to some of the most prestigious schools in the country.
These are the people who came here today.
I tell you, it is truly a pleasure and privilege to have shared their company.
So many Political Cess Pool fans.
I can't tell you how many people came up to shake my hand.
I'm talking about a good, manly, robust handshake to tell me how much they enjoy the show, how much they enjoy you, Keith.
I can't tell you how much I heard that today.
And along with the other co-hosts, they were talking to me about they never missed a show.
I was taking pictures with these folks.
A few of them brought books for me to sign.
The whole thing, if I had a canvas, my words couldn't properly paint the verbal picture that you need.
Imagine a conference going off as well as you could possibly script it.
That's what happened here over the course of the last two days and more.
The fellowship was outstanding.
I mean, not just during the general session, we went to a beautiful restaurant last night.
We went outside and ate on the patio, and they had all these trees covered in lights, and we were right there in the middle.
You know, we could see the Capitol.
I mean, it's all happening right here, right now.
And I was a part of it and have been a part of it.
And I tell you, folks, you have made this possible.
The success that you have given to the Political Cess Pull continues to make me an in-demand commodity.
I couldn't do this without you.
And for that, you continue to have my eternal gratitude.
And it's just, again, I can't tell you how wonderful it's been to meet so many of you here this weekend.
Lot of political cesspool fans in the audience Keith, and you have a lot of fans here too, my friend.
Well look, that's good to hear.
But I, since it went off so well, I'm sure that the mainstream media will find some way to kill the story as much as possible.
Yeah, I didn't see anything in the Washington POST, despite the contingent of press in the room yesterday.
I didn't see anything.
Perhaps the editors, you know, because we didn't make fools of ourselves because we presented our case so well.
Perhaps they just buried the story, but nevertheless, you know, they couldn't stop the momentum that was being that that was going on in that room.
They couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd.
And even though there was supposed to have been a protest today, that didn't happen.
We were at the Ronald Reagan building.
I mean, this is, if you haven't been to Washington, you don't know what I'm talking about, but you couldn't imagine.
I mean, it's walking through the streets of Rome in the heyday of its empire.
Incredibly spellbounding.
Anyway, folks, we've got to take a break.
We're going to come back and cover more news and then more about the conference in the second hour.
Stay tuned.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool.
I am coming to you live tonight from Washington, D.C. Believe me, that's no exaggeration.
It is a very, very beautiful place.
But anyway, we're going to be talking about the conference much more comprehensively, a comprehensive recap of the National Policy Institute Conference and the festivities yesterday at the National Press Club in the second hour.
But first, we want to make sure tonight's show has a little bit of something for everyone.
So we're going to, for the most part, follow our normal template for the first hour, which is where Keith brings some topics for discussion to the table.
And we ride to the sound of the guns together.
But as you can tell, listen, I am still just so exuberant to be here tonight.
I wish everyone listening to the broadcast this evening around the world could have joined us in Washington.
It would have been an experience the likes of which you would not soon forget.
Great, great people here.
So proud to serve such a capable and intelligent audience.
Keith, anyway, I know you have a lot of things you want to bring to the listeners' attention this evening.
Where do we start?
Well, James, while you're living the lifestyle of the rich and famous, we're down here toiling in the vineyard in Memphis.
And nothing has changed.
I'm happy to tell you that behind enemy lines here in deepest, darkest Memphis, Tennessee, we're on an express train to becoming Detroit.
Now, you will remember that back in the spring, Barack Obama, our esteemed president, chose Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, an inner city high school.
It's basically the high school equivalent of a historically black college and university.
It's been around since the turn of the century here in Memphis.
And he went to Booker T. Washington High School to give a commencement address, the one high school commencement address that he gave all of this past graduation period.
And the reason he did was because Booker T. Washington was such an incredible example of achievement in the face of adversity through diversity, not to mention perversity.
Now, apparently, Booker T. Washington was able to get everybody to graduate.
Everything was wonderful.
everybody was scoring high, you know, the Almighty's in his heaven and all is right with his world as far as liberals were concerned.
But then what crops up, like Flip Wilson said, up jumps the devil.
Here it is in the September the 8th, 2011 edition of our local newspaper, the Commercial Appeal, it says that Alicia Kiner, the president, who was just, you know, lion-eyed and patted on the back and was supposedly an exemplar of everything right about public education in America, was suspended for a week when administrators confronted her on five allegations, including that she tampered with attendance data,
directed a change in enrollment status that meant several students' test scores, you know, would not be disallowed.
So in other words, they're fudging on attendance records and transcripts again.
Why does this always happen, James?
Why should we not be surprised at this?
And why do they bury this type of story and not let you know about it until long after Barack Obama came to Memphis so they could have this love fest over at Booker T. Washington's graduation ceremony?
Yeah, we talked about this extensively on the show back a few weeks ago when this originally happened.
I guess it was earlier this summer.
We blogged about it.
A few months, really, now.
ThepoliticalSuccessful.org, we blogged about it.
To recap what Keith said, of course, Barack Obama came to Memphis because of how much the inner-city urban school, if you will, to use their code words, had improved their graduation rate.
Well, now it comes out after the fact, well, after the fact, of course, long enough after the fact that no one's going to apologize for the flim plan.
That's representation, yeah.
Yeah, well, I mean, they've been, yeah, they inflated the graduation rate.
Surprise, surprise.
You know what I'm going to do, Keith?
I'll tell you what I'm going to do since I'm here.
I'm going to walk a block down the road.
I'm going to knock on Barack's door and see if he's going to make an issue of this.
If he's going to take back everything he said.
He's in town, you know.
He was, when I landed in Washington on Thursday, I've been here a couple of days already, and I'll leave tomorrow, flying back home on 9-11.
That'll be fun.
But I got here on Thursday, which is when he unveiled his great job stimulus plan.
And so he is in town this week.
So I'll try to gain an audience with him this evening before I head back.
We'll get it all sorted out.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I'm sure that there'll be a red carpet when they see James Edwards Morrison.
Right, well, and then there's going to be a front page headline in the New York Times tomorrow about how he takes back everything he said about Booker T. Washington High School.
Now, why is it that whenever you hear about some inner city high school beating the odds and having these wonderful levels of achievement, you found Superman?
You know, there's some article that all the liberal educators drew over about finding Superman.
In other words, who is the guy that has the philosopher's stone of education that is going to turn all this lead into pure gold and make all of these inner city school students succeed on the level of white suburban students?
Well, whenever you hear that, just as night follows day, you're going to see an article come up shortly thereafter, like they did in Atlanta, like they have everywhere, showing you that somebody cooked the books to get that result.
Nobody can get that result.
And of course, the reason they can't get that result is that there are differences between people.
And equality, you know, if you want to find out what the founding fathers said, check this quote out from Thomas Jefferson.
He said to John Adams during the twilight of his life that in terms of talent, intelligence, and moral standing, it would be a more appropriate comment to say that no two men were ever created equal.
But we're going to create equality if we have to do it by hammering down white students and their opportunities and the white race generally.
We've got, you know, when plan A, lifting up blacks, doesn't work, then you go to plan B, which is to hammer their competition down.
Now, this type of thing is, you know, it's a never-ending enterprise.
They keep trying to do this, and they're never deterred by their, you know, unbroken string of failures through the years.
You know, they just think a little more money, a little more tweaking, another guru is going to come up with the philosopher's stone that's going to turn lead into gold.
They didn't find the philosopher's stone.
The medieval alchemists did not in the Middle Ages in Europe.
And believe me, they're not going to find it educationally here in the United States.
But, you know, it's like the emperor's new clothes.
You're not going to find anyone with the courage to tell the truth in professional life today, particularly in education or in government, James.
Keith, you know, so many of the points that you just made were topics for discussion through the various speakers and their presentations here in Washington this weekend.
I tell you, I do wish that everyone listening to us could have been here with me this weekend.
But I most certainly wish, Keith, that you could have been here because a man of your intelligence, and again, you know, just to see the people who enjoy your work on this show and your contributions to the program.
But to have been able to marinate in all of this free-flowing exchange of information, you would have been like a pig in slop, my friend.
Well, you know, you don't have to be real smart to have common sense.
You know, lots of people.
When smartest people don't have it, look, well, they've been psychologically conditioned out of it.
They've been conditioned to think that up is down and down is up.
But, you know, our ancestors used to have sayings about this.
They said that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
They used to say things like you can dress them up, but you can't take them to town.
And the more effort, money, and energy is expended in trying to raise people up to the same level, the more we realize that the old-timers are right all along.
With that being said, a great place to pause.
Stay tuned, everybody.
We've got to take it to first break.
We'll be back right after these words from our sponsors.
On the show and express your opinion in the political cesspool, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
We gotta get out of this place.
If it's the last senior.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the Political Festival.
I know I sound like a kid who's had too much sugar tonight, but that's the way I feel.
Being amongst the living again.
I got Keith, I got Eddie, I got Bill, I got Winston at home, and God knows they helped me maintain a sense of sanity living there in Memphis.
But to be here amongst all the people in Washington in the middle of it all, it's just absolutely outstanding.
And as I said, folks, at the top of the show, during tonight's second hour, which is coming up sooner rather than later at this point, we're going to be hearing, we hope and we plan to hear from Richard Spencer, who, of course, organized this entire conference of the National Policy Institute and AlternativeRight.com, Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, the man with whom I shared the stage at the National Press Club yesterday, and then again today at the conference itself at the Ronald Reagan building, which is actually inside the International Trade Center.
And let me tell you something, Keith, you're right.
They spared no expense on these cavernous buildings.
I mean, it's just, it was a labyrinth.
I couldn't find the room.
I mean, even if there had been protesters, they would have never found us.
I was the speaker and I could barely find it.
And then Sam Dixon, who was on the show last week, I thought Bill Rowland and Sam Dixon's third hour last week while I was out of town in East Tennessee at another engagement was one of the best hours of political Cesspool radio this year, to say the least.
We're going to hear from Richard Spencer, Jared Taylor, Sam Dixon, their thoughts on the conference during tonight's second hour.
And then during the third hour, Bill Rowland will be where Keith is now, which is our home base, WLRM Radio Studios in Memphis.
And he will be hosting Brother Nathaniel Kappner, the Jewish street evangelist.
And you're going to look forward to hearing what Brother Kappner and Bill have to bring to you during tonight's third hour.
I will be cutting out after the second hour because I have to go back down to a speaker's reception where we meet and greet with some of the attendees.
So, hey, it's a busy night, Keith.
It's a busy night.
Look, I'm glad that you're having such a great time, but all that luxury and culture that you're, and, you know, wonderful architecture you're enjoying up there is just testament to the extent to which we're overtaxed to support a federal government.
Oh, believe me, yeah, that's no doubt.
And I know the party's going to end because I'm going to come back to Memphis.
I want to see what the real world looks like.
But I tell you, you know, if we ever reclaimed America's destiny and Americans were in control of America again, this would be a nice place to run the empire from, I can tell you that.
Well, you know, that's me, you know, I don't know what we could do with Washington, D.C., except, you know, basically, you know, keep all the government buildings.
The rest of it would need to be bulldozed in a grand urban renewal project.
But, you know, this is, you know, what you're seeing up there shows you the extent to which we've been melted through the fence to support the federal government.
Let's talk about some things back, you know, from the sublime to the mundane.
Remember last week, games, we were talking about two important football games.
Joe Kowalski at Cass Football had focused on them, the BYU versus Ole Miss game and the Boise State versus University of Georgia game.
Now, the Boise State and BYU are almost all white teams.
And of course, white guys can't jump and aren't supposed to play football or basketball or any other sport very well.
In fact, if they excel at a sport, all that shows is that somehow some pernicious racist plot is afoot and black people have been denied the opportunity to play as they try to argue about golf and tennis or even the Winter Olympics.
And of course, the Southeastern Conference, which is the home of Old Miss and the University of Georgia, is the blackest Division I conference in the nation.
Almost all of their players are black.
White kids, there seems to be a conspiracy, an antitrust violation to keep them from getting any scholarship offers.
If you see a white kid up there, the chances are at SEC school, he's a walk-on.
But when they actually buttoned up the chin straps and went at it, what happened, James?
BYU beat Ole Miss, and Boise State got a big win also.
Yes, indeed.
And, you know, I remember Kowalski predicted that to great ridicule in advance of the games.
And then, sure enough, that's how it turned out.
Well, the silence is deafening now from all those people that believe that horse manure about.
You see, the thing is, when it comes to education, all people are equal.
But if there's a situation where they think that black people will outdo white people, well, then, you know, inequality is a given.
And, of course, anybody who's not a complete and total nincome poop believes that black people are athletically superior despite the evidence that we saw last Saturday night or Saturday in America and actually on the football field.
On the other hand, if you point to the abundant evidence that whites are academically superior to blacks, well, then obviously you're a racist.
You're a pernicious, hateful individual because, of course, no such thing is true.
You know, black people are obviously the equal of whites.
And if they have any problems at all, it's because, again, pernicious honkies have been sabotaging their efforts now for all these years.
I'd like to know where these secret meetings are, James, where white people get together and strategize on how to sabotage black people.
I've never been able to find one.
Yeah, no, I haven't either, Keith, to be honest with you.
The secret meetings where they strategize against their own kind happen in the halls of Congress, of course.
No, you know, I'm glad you brought that up because from time to time we like to have Don Wasalon, who is, of course, the proprietor of castfootball.us, a great website dedicated to ending the anti-white stereotypes and double standards as they are applied in sports.
But you know, that's one of the great social pastimes is to ridicule and denigrate white athletes.
And then, you know, every now and then, in fact, much more often than just every now and then, you get results like this.
And the only out of all of the ESPN affiliates in the country, the only people to talk about it from a candid and frank point of view are the political talk show out of Memphis.
Well, there you go.
What is it?
Well, keep your Ole Mist alumni, but who were you rooting for?
Were you rooting for Ole Miss?
Your alma material?
Well, I quite frankly was just watching it as a disinterested observer to see what was going to play out.
Now, that was a close game.
That was a 14-13 game.
Ole Miss was ahead going into the fourth quarter, 13-0, and then folded under pressure like a cardboard outhouse in a rainstorm.
But then, which tends to happen when you have black athletes, they don't have the same level of dealing with adversity that apparently the white players do.
On the other hand, Boise State just gave the University of Georgia a good old country whooping.
If you've ever, you know, they just, I mean, they wouldn't let them up for air.
They stomped them down and stomped them again.
And it was quite obvious by the end of the game that the Georgia players had just totally given up.
All this crowing and chest beating and trash talking that characterized the first part of the game was totally absent in the last quarter of the game.
You know, it was quite obvious who the superior team was.
And, you know, it happens all the time in high schools here in the South.
You know, my children went to a private school that has beaten, you know, the top black teams in the tri-state area.
But those white kids, for some strange reason, never seem to be offered Division I football scholarships.
Maybe one or two out of the class where these black powerhouses that they beat, probably eight, nine, ten kids a year get Division I full-ride scholarships to SEC schools.
And the SEC, furthermore, was the last major conference to integrate.
You know, back in the days of Archie Banny in the late 60s, early 70s, it was still an all-white league.
And, you know, there's a website called Stuff Black People Don't Like that goes into all this stuff.
They have a great article that you can find on the blog roll right now about the University of Tennessee team.
Actually, Philip Fulmer and the coaching staff at the University of Tennessee recruited one of the murderers of Shannon Newsom and the Knoxville horror.
And Philip Fulmer was quoted as saying this is just the type of guy we're looking for on the Tennessee football team.
The guy that wound up torturing and murdering two white college students.
Yeah.
No, of course I remember that story well, having provided commentary for it on CNN.
One of my CNN appearances dealt with that gruesome double rape, double murder, torturing, and all that.
But yeah, I mean, these are the kind of, you know, not obviously that great of an extent in most cases.
But yeah, these are typically, for lack of a better comparison, the types of people that go on to get these scholarships, despite the fact that as you've witnessed, Keith, in Memphis, and as it has happened in many other places, they routinely get beat in high school by the private schools.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, but still, you know, the college coaches, they don't confuse us with the facts.
And you see what happens when they actually go out there and play a team that has recruited and trained a white squad of players.
They go in there and wilt the tar out.
Keith, got to take another break, buddy.
Hold that thought.
We'll be back with more in the political festival right after this.
Okay.
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 show.
James Edwards here in Washington, D.C. Keith Alexander, back at home in Memphis at our radio studios, WLRM Radio, AM1380, broadcasting tonight, of course, to the affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
And you can catch us online, of course, at thepoliticalcesspool.org, where our internet stream is available to our fans around the world.
And I know there are a lot of people here.
As I mentioned, I had the opportunity over the course of this weekend to meet and greet a lot of TPC fans.
And many of you here in Washington with me tonight are listening, I know, on your cell phones, on your laptops.
I'll see you in the bar after the show, guys.
I'm coming back down.
Keith, we got one more fleeting segment with you before the sand runs out of the hourglass this first hour.
What do you have on tap for us?
Well, let's wrap up a little bit more on the alternative universe that apparently sports writers and liberal coaches live in, in which blacks are superior athletes to whites.
Whenever you see a white team and a black team playing in high school, the odds on favorite to win is going to be the white team.
And of course, the people that report the news never comment upon that.
On the other hand, if a black inner city team beats a white team, an all-white team, well, they make a movie about it like Glory Road.
Remember that?
Oh, yes, indeed.
Of course, they forget to tell you that the Kentucky, University of Kentucky team that Texas Western beat back in 1966 was known as Rupps Runts.
The tallest player on the team was 6'5 ⁇ , and they totally backed into the championship game when UCLA unexpectedly lost due to injuries and other problems that they would never tell you about in that movie.
But also, the Stuff Black People Don't Like website also ran something several months ago about the 1969 University of Texas team, which was the last all-white nationwide national championship team.
And liberals just won't allow that to happen again.
Even in places like Provo, Utah, where BYU is, or in Boise, where Boise State is, Boise, Idaho, they've got to recruit a couple of blacks because they never want there to ever be another all-white national championship team.
I don't even have anything to worry about.
Well, the thing is, they're not, you know, on the other hand, they have no problem at all with fielding teams in which all 22 starters are all blacks, and those teams typically wind up having serious problems, either on the field or off the field.
That stuff that black people don't like article on the University of Tennessee just went down a just veritable laundry list of how bad things were at the University of Tennessee with all of these so-called student athletes getting arrested and not just for, you know, minor peccadillos.
This is for armed robbery, folks.
Things like that were going on at the University of Tennessee.
You know, but there, you know, and then on the other hand, I look back at things like my Archie Manning tapes and things from then, you know, that era back in the late 60s in the Southeastern Conference when the teams were all white.
Those players went on to be big business tycoons.
They went on to be investment bankers.
They went on to be lawyers, doctors, engineers, police chiefs, generals in the military.
Quite frankly, I yearn for those days back when football players could honestly be represented to your children as being role models.
These people that are robbing convenience stores for the University of Tennessee, you know, under what measure would any sane person call them role models, James?
Yeah, and then it's not just that.
I mean, you talk about after the playing careers in college are over for many of those student athletes in the old days, you know, they went on to be highly successful professionals in various fields.
Now, you know, as we have talked about so many times, and, you know, we have been increasingly blogging about it at depolitical sessible.org, not just the crimes that are committed by ex-players, but now the crimes that are committed by current players in the NFL and NBA.
And then, of course, it's not uncommon at all.
In fact, it's most likely that one or two years removed from their playing days, they're going to be absolutely broke.
I saw, you know, there's been numerous examples about that that we've covered.
People who earned $100 million in 10 years, and they're, you know, beyond the value of all their assets, you know, a year after their career is over.
I saw an NFL star, I can't remember if it was Terrell Owens or Chad Ocho Cinco, whoever it was, but a man who had just earned, you know, over $100 million so far in his playing career.
And it talked about him crying before the NFL lockout was settled because he wasn't going to be able to make ends meet if he didn't play this season.
I mean, this is incredible.
And these are the heroes.
These are the people we want to emulate in life and in business.
You know, it's just a Roman circus.
It's, you know, there are, you know, and one of the things they had in the Stuff Black People Don't Like article about the University of Tennessee is about some guy with the last name of Travis, a white guy who's a journalist, that traveled around with the team.
And they said how ironic it was, because you could pick up on this from reading the articles that he was submitting, that he idolizes these players who, if he were to meet them outside of the context of University of Tennessee football, he would move as far away from them and have as little to do with them as possible.
Well, Keith, I don't want to digress, but you've mentioned it twice, and I've forgotten it twice, but I did write it down that last time your name dropped it, the administrator of Stuff Black People Don't Like, which is a incredibly popular website with both whites and blacks, I might add.
I think it gets some 10,000 unique visitors a day.
It's relatively new.
I think it's only a couple of years old.
Paul Kersey, who has been on this show to promote some of his books, Paul Kersey was one of the people in the crowd today.
Not a speaker, but just, you know, again, that's what I'm talking about.
Not the caliber of just those of us on the stage, but the caliber of the people in the audience was equally, if not more, impressive.
But, yeah, of course, we're a big fan of his work, as you are, Keith.
And he was here and complimenting both me and you on.
Well, tell him about our commentary and ask him to tune into the archives or to listen to it because, you know, if it were not for the internet, our voice, his voice, Jared's voice, none of these voices would be getting out.
And that's why these incipient efforts that you hear about to regulate the internet are sinister and need to be resisted at every turn because they don't like this information getting out.
They want that tepid tea that they keep serving up on the mainstream media where, you know, they try to determine what the parameters of conservative thought should be and what people can say.
And of course, you know, we've said this before.
Who's in charge of the media, the same people that are in charge of the movies?
Who would they be, James?
What's that, Keith?
I didn't hear you.
I said, the reason that you don't get full-bodied liberalism in the mainstream media is that the mainstream media is controlled by the same people that control Hollywood.
And that's the dead gum Irish.
Yeah, we're Irish people.
We've got to do something about the Irish Irish people.
They just keep doing it to us.
Yeah.
But, you know, there are good Irish.
There are some good Irishmen, like Brother Nathaniel Capman, who will be on and representing McNamara's Land and Third Hour.
And he was still rolling.
But yes, no, I mean, you're exactly right, Keith.
And we've been talking increasingly about the movie industry as well.
Hey, by the way, I'm glad you mentioned that because it triggered another announcement I wanted to make.
Great review.
A classic never dies.
We posted to our website this week the epic revisitation to Yugrazzl's review of Braveheart.
And that's up there, Keith.
Did you get a chance to read it?
Now, I know it was a link.
I did.
You know, he wrote an excellent one also about Snow White and the Seven.
Yes, he did.
Yes, he did.
And we're going to have to churn one out about Shane, which I think is the best white nationalist movie of all time.
It is perfect in every way.
It is a burnished gem.
And, you know, if someone else doesn't do it, we're going to have to do it because it needs to be done.
See, things like football and the movies.
A lot of people write in and say, why do you waste your time with that?
You're encouraging people to waste their money going to Division I, college football, and bachelor's on the one hand, or going to the movies and supporting these committed cultural Marxist leftists who are churning out these things.
Well, people are going to go see those things regardless of whether we say anything about it.
And we want to give people ammunition to break down and debunk what's really going on rather than the fantasy land commentary that you're going to get from the mainstream media on all of this stuff.
Indeed, indeed.
Well, and that's, of course, why the political festival has stood the test of time and why we continue to grow and why we continue to be able to come to places like Washington, D.C. and spread our ideas, not just on the airwaves, but in the court of public opinion at some of these venues like the National Press Club, is because we are providing a voice.
It's very unique to an audience that's very large.
And certainly the audience that listens to us is large, but the audience that needs to be listening to us is even larger.
So it's our duty to keep the light on and maintain that vigil until they come and join us and begin to advocate for their own group interests.
Well, what do they say?
Do commercial appeal, give light, but people will find their own way.
That's really our motto.
That's it, Keith.
And I think that's a great place to wrap up this first hour.
Thank you, my friend, for coming into the studio tonight and being with me from afar.
And I look forward to seeing you when I get back home on Monday.
But for the rest of you, I'll be back with the second hour where we recap the conference right after this.
They were jumping pews and shouting, Hallelujah!
Well, Harv hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose and disproved the blues.
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.
