Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known worldwide as the South's foremost populous radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
September 10th, as I broadcast to you live this evening from Washington, D.C.
Yes, I'm phoned in to the network tonight for my beautiful hotel room here in downtown D.C. Just don't throw away from the Capitol and the White House and everything else that's going on.
We talked about it a little bit during the first hour.
You know how incredible this weekend has been.
Now we are going to talk about it comprehensively with some of the people who made it happen during this, our second hour.
James Edwards here with you, folks.
Thanks so much for joining me as I join you again from Washington and the National Policy Institute's incredibly amazing conference.
Richard Spencer is our first guest this hour.
We're going to try to have one guest per segment this hour.
Richard, of course, is the executive director of the National Policy Institute, in addition to being the founding editor of alternativewright.com.
And Richard is the ringmaster of this whole event.
He is the one who put it together.
And coming from a man who has organized a conference or two himself, I have been just blown away by what Richard has done.
Richard, welcome back to the show.
I know it's crazy tonight.
It's hectic.
People are everywhere and everybody wants to talk to you.
But did this conference, Richard, meet, exceed, or fall short of your initial expectations?
It exceeded my expectations.
I think everyone in our movement was quite worried after the Amarin debacle that these kinds of things were going to become impossible.
And I certainly had many sleepless nights thinking about what could happen in the sense of finding, developing backup plans, plans A, B, C, and D, and various things like that.
And essentially, I think we created a usable, workable model for dissidents in this country.
Well, listen, and that cannot be understated.
And we did not just hold an intellectual, highbrow, professional conference.
We did it in Washington, D.C. at two of the most prestigious and posh venues in the district, the National Press Club, and then, of course, the Ronald Reagan building.
Talk about the beginning of the conference.
With Jared Taylor and Amron, the free market would not let us speak.
We essentially had cowardly hotel operators who canceled on him because a politician might have called them or some ridiculous anti-fall leftist called them or something like that.
And I, in some ways, have new respect for socialist boondoggles like the Ronald Reagan Center.
It's a massive government facility.
But I think this proves essentially that if we're going to do conferences in the future, we have to really take advantage of the First Amendment.
Using public facilities is really the way to go.
And as you were saying, using fine public facilities like the Press Club at the Ronald Reagan building, I think it's also a way for us to interact with people who would not otherwise attend these kinds of conferences.
Well, it certainly, to say the least, reflects well upon us to be able, of course, anyone could have their conferences at these locations, but it certainly reflects well on our message that we're presenting it in such a polished manner.
Talk about again, Richard, and I mentioned this just in the previous question, again, the significance of having it at the National Press Club, because I know that was something that you and I both thought was very, very important.
Well, sure.
The National Press Club hosts people from Al Gore to, I guess, a lot of bad people.
Look at that wall of fame there.
Me, you and I. They're going to get our pictures up there soon, I'm sure.
Ashley Good.
I mean, any number of dignitaries and heads of state, athletes, actors, you know, everybody.
Oh, yeah, everyone is up there.
You know, from George Bush to Al Gore and onward, it's just major heads of state.
So it's just a way for us to say that our message, we're going to be public about our message because we have nothing to hide with our message.
Our message is natural, it's realistic, and all of these things.
And so we're not going to hide away having private conferences or not telling people about things like that.
I think the better strategy is to just go right out and do it.
And I think they're going to respect us more.
Yeah, and then doing it from Washington, D.C., again, you just can't overembellish the allure of that.
And then, of course, you know, Richard, getting down to the nuts and bolts of it all, I know you planned this thing from start to finish.
Not only did it come off, it came off without a hitch.
The speakers were great.
The caliber of the people in the crowd was equally impressive.
And as I've talked with you, I thought that each of the speakers complimented one another.
I've been to a lot of conferences, and I know you have too.
And I don't think I'm being swept away in the momentum of this one just because it's so fresh on my mind, and we're an hour or two removed from the conclusion of it.
This was truly one for the books, as far as I'm concerned.
Well, Alex Kurtich really hit one out of the park.
And it's funny, Alex is obviously a partner of mine and a good friend as well.
But he's also a soft-spoken fellow.
I assume you've had him on your program.
Oh, absolutely.
He is, as my audience will remember, the author of Mr., a Renaissance Man.
Yes.
Yeah, oh, yeah, he's a Renaissance man in terms of music and drawing and painting.
Well, he became some fire-throwing Roman senator or something when he was up there.
He was speaking, you know, above the body of Caesar.
It was a truly great oration.
And I don't mean to, I hope anyone doesn't take this insulting, but it was really shocking.
I didn't know he had that in it.
No, you know, a lot of people, obviously, Sam Dixon gives a wonderful speech.
And I think also just the kind of post-seriousness, but also radical quality of what we were talking about, what Alex was talking about.
You know, with Sam Dixon, we were really talking about things, and I don't want to sound like this is pessimistic or doom and gloom, but things like the end of the United States of America and what we want afterward.
Really big question.
That's a very provocative question.
Well, we talk about all these things.
We're discussing things like this.
We talk about all these things.
We presented the case clearly.
And, you know, Richard, it was just a good weekend.
We try to paint the picture with our words on this verbal canvas, if you will.
I just don't know, even with the best of our abilities, if we're going to be able to really impress upon the people who were not here exactly what they missed.
But thankfully, NPI TV is going to make these speeches and the press conference yesterday available online soon, right?
Oh, yeah, we'll have the press conference up soon.
I mean, I would say within 24 hours we'll have something up.
And we're actually going to give all that stuff away for free on YouTube.
The conference itself, we probably do want to sell that, but we're going to make that available at a very inexpensive price.
It won't be like a $39 DVD.
It'll be more under 10, I would assume.
Because basically, MPI has a public mission.
We're in this to educate people, and we obviously need to not burn through all our capital, but we really want to bring our message to everyone because to reiterate, Our message is one that probably is labeled as extreme or evil or something like Nazi or whatever.
But it's actually something that is quite grounded in reality, realistic, something that naturally...
We set the terms of our ideas today rather than the false assessment that's always given by our detractors.
Well, Richard, I know you've had a busy night, my friend.
We're coming up on a commercial break.
Enjoy your victory lab.
And I'll see you, I'm sure, down in the lobby a little bit later.
Welcome back.
To get on the Political Cess Poll, call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
It's a rapid fire hour.
This hour, ladies and gentlemen, we're going from one segment to the next, one guest to the next, and they are all superstars.
So I hope everyone's buckled up tight and holding on for what promises to be a wild ride here in the Political Cess Pull.
James Edwards back with you from Washington, D.C.
We go to another one of the legends that was in the crowd today.
My good friend and yours, the editor of American Renaissance magazine, Mr. Jared Taylor.
Jared, how are you?
Still basking in the glow, I guess.
Well, actually, we're walking back from the hotel, but I'm happy to talk to you and your listener.
Well, it's great to have you again.
And see, this is the marvel of modern technology, ladies and gentlemen.
Here I am in my hotel room in Washington, you know, doing the show, linked up with the studio back home.
And Jared's walking down a busy Washington street on his cell phone, and we're making it all happen for you.
Jared, of course, you and I shared the stage together at the National Press Club yesterday.
And then again today, what I thought, and I hope I'm not being overly exuberant.
I guess the people who weren't here, maybe they could think I'm exaggerating this thing.
The MPI conference, I thought it was absolutely phenomenal.
Jared, what was your take on the weekend's festivities here in Washington?
Oh, it has been just splendid.
And it's always a pleasure and honor to share a podium with you, James.
And I think we've had an excellent turnout, an excellent meeting, top-rate speeches by you and by others.
No, it's been a complete success, I would say.
You know, and I mentioned this with Richard, and I'd like to get your, I'd like for you to convey your opinions to the listening audience tonight, those who couldn't be with us.
The caliber of those in attendance.
And I don't want to sound repetitive, but I'm talking about intelligent, professional.
I mean, they're going somewhere with their lives.
They're clean-cut, squared-away, all-American men, some older than others.
But, you know, it was multi-generational.
But they all had something to give.
They all had talents.
And, you know, when you surround yourself with people like that, if only for a few hours in a ballroom, it reinvigorates the spirit.
I mean, am I on the right track with that, Jared?
Oh, absolutely.
As a fellow who had come to a number of American Renaissance conferences, which are rather similar to this NGI conference, he said to me, he walked in at one of the conferences, and he says, Jared, it's so great to be among the living again.
And that is the feeling.
We are among the living.
And as you say, everybody is solid, squared away.
I think that the liberals and the goofies that come up with these crazy stereotypes about us would get a real education to attend a conference like this and see the caliber of people who are prepared to stand up for whites and their civilization.
You know, and it truly is that.
You know, I always get a kick when you share that anecdote from the Amerin conference.
You even went so far as today is to say, well, why can't we live amongst the living rather than just visit them every now and then when we have these conferences?
Well, that's, of course, what we were here to do this weekend, to try to lay out a plan, to talk about the options and opportunities for us to battle these foes in the court of public opinion and for us to reclaim America's destiny in some way, shape, or form.
But yes, we talk about the detractors, the people who have never met us, Jared, who have never sat with us, who have never taken the time to get to know us, those who so grossly mischaracterize our positions and label us as all of these evil things, which of course we're not.
If they had come today, they would have seen the kind of people who really makes America a great place for everyone.
And we're talking about people who are successful throughout the business spectrum.
I mean, you just could not find a more talented group of people.
I know it sounds like a broken record, but really incredible.
It would be very hard to do.
One of the people who was trying to put on some kind of counter-demonstration, he actually conceded as much when he said, you know, if you want to see, if you want to see just how respectable these, and he called us Nazis, just how respectable these Nazis were, come on out to our demonstration.
They realize that we are by no means this caricature of snaggle-toothed folks who can't speak English properly with swastikas chiseled in their parts.
No, no, no.
These are solid, square away people who care about the future of their people.
You know, and even, you know, obviously yesterday was a standing room only crowd at the press club.
It was standing room only today for that matter, although, you know, it was a little more harder to get in, a little more formal.
You had to go through the metal detectors and all that.
The press club was more open, I guess.
And my goodness, I mean, even if there had been protesters, they would have never found us in the Reagan building as sprawling as that place was.
But even the black gentleman yesterday, who obviously wasn't on our side, who asked a couple of questions in the press conference, I mean, you know, surely it must have, at least on some level, though he would never admit it, to have heard, you know, if anybody, once they were able to watch the press conference that we conducted yesterday, you know, there's no way that anyone with any ounce of honesty, any amount of integrity in the fiber of their bones,
could really say that we are this caricature.
And I think even he couldn't muster up more than just a very meek and mild manner question of opposition because I think we diffuse that.
Well, I believe that the National Press Club posts on its website the videos of every event that take place there.
I'm not certain about this, but that is my understanding, that they sort of make a public record of every event that takes place.
And if people go to the National Press Club website, they can experience this press conference entirely for themselves.
Well, that's interesting, Richard.
Did not, excuse me, Jared.
I did not know that.
And yeah, I would like to just reiterate and repeat what you just said.
Yeah, folks, if you can find the National Press Club's website here in Washington, D.C., you may be able to watch that press conference tonight.
If for some reason it didn't get posted or it's not working for you, I know Richard and the National Policy Institute are going to make those available to you.
They're going to put them up on YouTube.
And as soon as they're up there, of course, we'll post them on our website and elsewhere.
So you'll definitely see that soon.
And then I think Richard said for a nominal fee, you can get the entire conference that took place today.
Obviously, the press conference yesterday and the conference today were two separate things.
But Jared, I guess we've been talking about it in so many words.
We only have a couple of minutes left with you.
What would you say if you had to summarize it was accomplished?
What was the biggest accomplishment that we can take from this as we head back to our different ports of call?
I think what is important to remember at a conference of this kind, like an American Renaissance conference, is the importance of meeting face-to-face.
It's all very well and good to be warriors behind the internet sitting at your keyboard, talking to people by internet.
Nothing replaces face-to-face contact, the camaraderie, the exchanges of views, really meeting people and dripping their hands.
There's absolutely nothing like that.
And I think that's the message that we need to take away from this.
Seeing things on videos, talking to people over email, there's nothing like face-to-face contact.
No, just the fellowship and the bonds of brotherhood.
I was talking to so many people today.
I don't know you were too, Jared.
People who appreciate our work, the firm handshakes that I got, the look in their eye as they said they listened to the show.
And I know you got it every bit as much as I did.
Those who, you know, and this was a common theme that kept coming up.
You know, it's like I've known you forever.
You know, it's my first time to meet you.
I've only met you once or twice before.
You really feel that familial bond amongst people.
And of course, I see you, and we're able to talk through the radio program and by other means, a little more often than some of the other people have access to one another.
But yeah, you really do feel that when you walk in here, if it's something you haven't experienced before, ladies and gentlemen, the next time a conference like this presents itself, you've got to take advantage of the opportunity because it really almost surpasses articulation.
But we got that time and time again.
And I felt it, and I know, Jared, that you did too.
Great speakers today, Richard Spencer, yourself, Keith Preston, Byron Roth, Alex Kurtig, who continues to get praise on the show this evening.
Our friend Tomislav Sunich is Sam Dixon.
And there are people in the crowd who are equally impressive.
It's not more.
Great, great weekend.
And Jared, thanks for making yourself available for a few minutes tonight, folks.
Be sure to visit and support Jared's work at amrin.com.
And Jared, I'll see you shortly.
It's been bye please.
Great to talk to you, Jared.
You too.
Jared Taylor, everybody, right here in Washington with me.
Stay tuned.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the Political Festival Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
You've already heard from Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor this hour.
I want to hear from you, ladies and gentlemen, particularly if you are here in Washington tonight and you're listening to the show.
You're listening to it on a laptop.
I don't guess we have an affiliate here in the district, but if you're listening to us by any way, shape, or form and you went to the conference today, I want you to call in.
I want you to call in right now, 1-866-986-News.
Again, that's 1-866-986-6397.
If you didn't go to the conference, call in anyway.
Perhaps you have an observation.
Perhaps you were watching it today on the live stream that was being provided by Richard Spencer and his friends at the National Policy Institute.
It was streaming live online.
If you watched it or if you didn't get to see it at all and you're hearing about it for the first time, perhaps you have a question that we haven't covered about the conference and its significance.
I'd love to take your call.
Were you here today?
Did you miss it?
Did you watch it online?
Do you want to know more about it?
We're talking about the National Policy Institute's conference this hour.
And again, folks, I would like to hear from you.
My number.
News.
And while I'm waiting for you to call in, we'll go to our next guest who is, I tell you, he's always the closer.
He's the closer at any meeting he speaks at.
He's the closer tonight in terms of our featured guest, a man who provided liquid gold, you said, last week, when he appeared in the third hour to be interviewed by my co-host Bill Rowland, as I was on the road last week as well.
Sam Dixon.
Sam, welcome back to the show.
Well, hi.
It's nice to be back.
I don't think I'm liquid gold or he's liquid anything.
Hey, I'm only relaying the assessment of the audience, Sam.
Well, the first will be last and the last will be first.
That's right.
Well, nevertheless, you're about to be promoted to co-host.
This is two weeks in a row, so I don't know.
Oh, I know.
People are so sick of this.
They're going to be throwing stones at you.
I doubt that.
On the radio, I'm always doubtful.
They have a hard time throwing the stones.
Yeah, I was talking with a guy today that I guess you met for the first time, and he said, I was looking around.
I couldn't believe it.
I was sitting at it.
If people weren't here today, the ballroom was set up in round tables, not just theater style.
And the guy said, I can't believe it.
I was looking to my left and I was looking to my right, and I was at a table sitting with James Edwards and Sam Dixon and Jared Taylor all at one table.
I don't know, Sam.
People carry a pretty high opinion of you.
He marvels.
Well, I appreciate that.
But, you know, we all put on our pants one leg at a time in the morning.
We all have our shortcomings and our virtues.
That's true.
True enough.
Always humble.
I have a lot to be humble about.
It's easy to be humble.
You have a lot to be humble about.
That's what I always say when you tell me that I'm too humble and too modest.
But nevertheless, I think that's what I'm saying.
The thing that is amazing to me, I've said before, just since I was applying to our political agenda to discuss tonight, I just can't imagine how some old bald thing like you managed to propagandize that good-looking Hollywood gorgeous wife of yours to marry her.
You should be the supreme propagandist of the movement.
I tell you, I would like to be able to do that.
Well, that might be the best thing to have going on because God knows I don't have money.
Maybe I can talk my way into things.
But yeah, I'm certainly for the better for that, as we all are.
Unfortunately, my wife wasn't able to come to this particular conference.
This is actually one of the first ones she's missed in a long, long time.
She normally goes with me anywhere I go.
But this time she was visiting her sister in Texas, and I was in Washington.
And so there's always the next conference.
But anyway, Sam, the one thing we can't diminish was the absolute total victory of this weekend's festivities.
It went off without a hitch.
It went off without a hitch in Washington at the National Press Club in the Ronald Reagan building to boot.
What did you take away from the activities of yesterday and today?
Well, I'm optimistic.
There are a lot of really splendid young people there, really impressive young people, which is very encouraging.
We see that these policies that we warned about for so many decades are now beginning, actually, the shoe is beginning to pinch and it's harder and harder for the lie machine to con young white people into bleeding all of their lives.
And that's a very encouraging thing.
As of the quality of the talks, I didn't think there was a single one that was not good to excellence, except mine, which is not the same thing.
Oh, you've got to be.
Which is no, okay.
But the talks were very good quality.
There were interesting and new things being said.
Very good ideas were brought up.
The conference itself was splendidly organized, and as you say, it was a great victory.
There are minor cosmetic things that you pick up as you go along that could have been changed.
But it was nice to get it in a place where they could not close us down.
You probably told them that the head of the One People's Project, which is his name, Lamont.
Yes, yes.
He attended the press conference.
I sat next to him.
I didn't know who he was.
And I wish I had known.
I would have chatted him up more.
But anyway, I'm sure he was discomforted that he was not able to shut things down.
And the way it is, it's shocking to think someone like that can actually prevent serious meetings, including talks about real scholars, to take place in America.
The other thing is, as somebody said, I thought it many times, as somebody said that this is an argument against free enterprise and libertarianism.
The only places that we can meet now are government facilities.
The businessmen won't let us meet.
They're all cowed by the artists and working hand in glove with them.
Only a government facility offers freedom.
Yeah, isn't that ironic?
But I'll tell you, the way this weekend goes, I'm not begrudging it.
These were pretty nice government facilities.
And I think, you know, there is some, I think, something special about the fact that we came to Washington.
We showed metal.
We showed leadership and determination.
I presented our platform, I think, very, very articulately.
And we did it with confidence.
We did it a block away from the White House and from all of these totalitarian organizations that are in Washington that do seek to limit freedom of speech by traditional Americans.
But yeah, I want to get back to what you said a second ago, Sam, about the caliber.
And this has been a recurring theme now for two hours as I've been on the show, the caliber of the people there.
I saw, of course, I had to leave a little bit earlier while things were still kind of wrapping up to get here in time to do the show this evening.
As I left, you were holding court with several of the students that were in the crowd.
And as I said, multi-generational crowd, people who have been successful in all walks of life, but there were also many up-and-coming leaders.
I didn't get a chance to talk with them as much as you did, Sam, but I'm sure they were impressive.
Well, they were very, very good guys.
They were squared away guys.
They're off to serious careers.
One of them is off in the police department and this kind of thing.
They were intelligent.
They were in control of themselves.
They bore themselves well.
They were courteous.
They were well-mannered.
They were manly, physically fit, clean-cut, and intelligent, well-read people.
It's so interesting how you described them because that's exactly how I was describing the attendees.
You had no idea what I had said before you called in, but there is something to be said for being physically and mentally fit.
I mean, and how that reflects upon you and your people, and why we think it's significant to the point that we pointed out that these people were clean-cut.
They were well-dressed.
They combed their hair.
They looked like, you know, they looked like Americans from bygone days.
And I thought how the speakers certainly complimented one another.
Alex Kurtig stole my material.
I heard about that.
He must be into the black arts.
He says he's interested in the cultism.
I think he's in olden times.
He would have been burned at the stake somehow stealing my material telepathically.
Sam Dixon, the KG lawyer from Atlanta, I looked at him at one point, and he had notes sprawled across this table like he was opening up an office.
And he had to reorganize his speech because Alex had covered many of his topics.
But I tell you, Alex is another name that keeps coming up tonight as I talk with people who were here.
What a great presentation and what an outside-the-box type of talk he gave.
Real meat to what he had to say.
Well, you know, I think Jared's talk was titled, How We Can Get There From Here.
Where do we go from here, Sam?
Well, like I said, when you have a problem, there isn't something to do.
There's something to know.
And we first have to know, and then we do something.
think what we did today was something.
Jean-Marie Pelletienne, I met with him one time in Paris, and he said that you have to start a journey with one step.
I mean, you have to start where you are.
And so many people have this, they have impossible desires that there'll be some gigantic movement with a quarter million people and stadiums filled with people and people being elected to U.S. Senate and all this sort of thing.
You know, you don't go from crawling to becoming the Olympic star runner.
You know, you've got to go from where you are.
And we are calling and on our baby steps.
And whatever we do has to be feasible.
It has to be feasible in terms of the people to staff it and the financial support.
People ask, why isn't someone doing something?
Well, let's take an example.
Sam, hold right there.
I know I promised I wouldn't keep you longer than 10 minutes, but I want you to finish this thought because I know where you're going with this and it's important.
You could stay with us just for this commercial break.
We'll wrap it up on the flip side.
Jump in, the political says.
Pull 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.
All right, everybody.
Believe it or not, even though there's a little over an hour left in the show this evening, this will be my final segment with you.
We're going to transfer things back over to the studio in Memphis after we wrap up with Sam Dixon here.
Bill Rowland, my co-host, will be in studio, and he will be wrapping up the third hour with you as I go back down and join some of the other conferees in the hotel lounge.
But first, Sam, you were making a great concluding point there when we ran out of time.
When people ask, why isn't somebody doing something?
Well, there are people doing something.
James Edwards is doing something.
And when people ask themselves, why isn't someone doing something?
Remember people like James Edwards and this National Policy Institute and other things.
And write a check.
It's only a check for $20.
Nothing's going to happen if you don't lend us, you don't put your shoulder to the wheel and get going.
And just having a meeting like this and the ideas that came out and the networking was done is a great step forward.
Well, it was.
And there was one thing that you said that I thought was quite profound.
And I think it's something that we should reiterate and something that should be shared with everyone, including those who weren't here.
You said that just by attending today, people became a little bit more noble.
What did you mean by that?
Well, I didn't quite mean that.
What I said was that we are European Zionists.
We are Zionists of our people.
Just as the Jews say, and we are told, have a right to their own country.
We have the same right.
And I think meetings like this today are things that are similar to the Basel conference in the 1890s when Theodore Hetzel and the Zionists made their plans for the Jews to have their own state.
And we, you know, the people who are there are like the people attending that first Zionist conference.
We are in the process of thinking things through in meetings like this and others around the country as we try to find a program that will work of the creation of our homeland for our people, a way for our people to survive in their own racial forms, their own culture, and their own religion.
We are like the founders of Zionism.
And, you know, in a sense, by being there, you noble yourself.
It's like in Shakespeare's play Henry V, where the king tells the English before the battle of the French, that every man who fights here nobles his condition, gentles his condition, makes himself a nobleman by fighting for England.
Participating in this kind of thing takes you out of the mass of the living dead and brings you into the small group of people who have a plan and a program and who are thinking about the welfare and destiny of our own people.
Sam Dixon, thanks for coming back on the program tonight for a brief moment to share your assessment.
Well, thanks, James Edwards and Bill Rowland and all the people that work for them.
Lots of people who say they will die for this cause, but you're among the very few who actually work for it.
Well, Sam, I tip my hat to you because we do, and certainly you do as well.
And I know you've got places to be and people to see.
A lot of fans of yours down there, and I'll let you go greet them.
We don't want to keep you from the party.
It's a great night of celebration here in Washington.
Yes, the tenderfoot needs to go have his glass of sauce perilla like in the old Westerns.
You're too young to remember that.
But the tenderfoot always walked into the bar and ordered a glass of sauce perilla.
That's right.
Well, go have that, my friend, and I'll join you down there soon.
All right, great.
Sam Dixon.
Well, again, folks, you can't say enough about what was done, what was the scene, what was accomplished here this weekend.
If I had another three hours of the broadcast tonight, I could never encapsulate at all.
Of course, my speech from the National Press Club, which took place yesterday, will be made available hopefully as soon as tomorrow, if not Monday, on the National Policy Institute's website.
It will then be promptly posted to YouTube where I'll grab it and post it on thepoliticalfestival.org.
And from there, it'll go everywhere, as it always does.
So if you missed the press conference today, you will have it soon.
So just stay tuned to the Political Festival.
It's been my pleasure to bring to you tonight just a couple of the people who were here making this event possible.
Jared Taylor, Sam Dixon, and of course Richard Spencer, who was the event organizer working with the National Policy Institute.
Since my speech from the press club yesterday will be made available online, I'm not going to share with you everything.
It was basically a 30-minute condensed version of racism, Schmesis in my book.
My topic was the R-word in the age of Obama.
And I think we did a pretty good job.
I very much look forward to you watching that when it becomes available and you sharing with me via email or on the blog your critique, your praise, your criticism, whatever.
but I'm just happy that you'll be able to watch it and watch it, you will.
Today, my topic was a little bit different.
I was part of a panel with Jared Taylor.
And we were talking, the question for the panel was: is Arizona the answer?
And since that part of the conference won't be made available so quickly to you online, I'll just share with you briefly my answer to that.
I said, of course, Arizona could be the answer, legislatively speaking, if the elected officials in that state are intent on carrying out the measures of SB 1070, which the people quite rightly demanded so that their border would be better secured.
And of course, after Arizona, we saw a great groundswell.
A half a dozen, if not more, other states from Utah to Georgia and places in between proposing and passing other laws very similar to that in Arizona.
The problem that we have, why Arizona may not be the answer, is the federal courts.
Already in Arizona, some key aspects, key elements of SB 1070, the immigration bill, have been overturned by the federal courts.
And we've seen this time and time again since they founded the blueprint in 1954.
They figured out they could bypass the state legislatures.
They could bypass even the federal government if they needed to, although the courts and the government normally see eye to eye.
But they could certainly bypass the will of the voting public by ruling from the bench, by legislating with the stroke of a pen a black-robed tyrant, either in the Supreme Court or some of the circuit courts.
And how many times have we seen it?
We've seen it countless times on any number of issues, whether it's so-called homosexual marriage, immigration measures, even affirmative action was beaten in Michigan.
The voters voted to overturn affirmative action policies in Michigan, and only they have that overturned by a federal court.
So if it weren't for the federal judiciary, America would not look much different today than the America we knew and loved in 1954.
And that is something that I think is pretty incredible.
But this immigration issue is an incredibly vital problem.
It must be solved.
You can't have a first world nation comprised of a third world population, as I said on one of my appearances on CNN.
I mean, America means something to me.
America to me is more than a flop house or a dumping ground for the worst of some of these third world countries.
You know, people always say, you know, people who disagree with me, you know, they can't accept my opinion that it's coming from a good place.
I don't hate anybody.
I wish only the very best for minorities and other ethnic groups.
I don't want to lord over them.
I don't want to oppress them.
I don't want to exploit them.
I want them to succeed.
I want them to thrive.
And I want them to be contributing members of humanity.
But I do love my family a little bit more than I love anyone else.
I love my family and I love my extended family, which would be those people who share our unique cultural heritage, that share our heroes and traditions.
These traditions of European Americans.
I don't want to trade down.
I don't want to make anybody else accept my way of life.
But this is the thing.
We ought to be able to have our own homelands without being inundated with all of this multiculturalism and this cultural Marxism.
I mean, I don't want to go and reform Africa or any of these African nations into a European model.
Let them do with their nations as they want, but certainly we should be entitled to that right as well.
And I don't think that's hatred.
I think that's something that's natural and healthy, as we've said so many times.
Every group in the world, Jewish groups, black groups, Hispanic groups, now even homosexual groups, and even there's even advocacy organizations there to advance the interests of obscure species of animals and plants.
But yet, if you say you want to advocate for the dispossessed traditional stock of America, the European American stock, you're evil.
Well, I don't buy that.
I'm no more evil than the people who quite rightly advocate for their own self-interest.
But whites should be able to have interests as well that are unique to their own kind and that not be offensive to anyone.
We just want a level playing field.
I want America to look like the nation that my ancestors gave me, that I inherited, and I want to leave it to my children.
I want it to maintain its consistency.
And I just don't think that there's anything wrong with that.
The problem that we have is that a lot of people share our opinions.
In fact, I think the majority of Red State Americans still fundamentally agree with me.
They are just scared to death, paralyzed in fear that they would be called a racist, as we saw in London with these great London riots.
Diversity is London's greatest strength.
Diversity is burning London to the ground.
But they would rather it be burned down than be called a racist because they would be called a racist at least if they said, hey, hey, this immigration thing isn't working for us.
Folks, we've got to take a break.
James Edwards here in Washington, D.C., Bill Rowland standing by in Memphis to take over for the third and final hour.
You're really going to enjoy what Bill has in store for you.
