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.
Here we are, my friends, the beginning of the end of tonight's show.
That's what we like to call the third hour, at the top of the third hour anyway, the beginning of the end of the show.
Still an hour to go, though, and I'm happy to be able to bring it to you.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's Saturday evening, November 19th, and you're listening to the Political Cesspool Radio Program on AM 1380 WLRM Radio in Memphis, Tennessee, if you're one of my local listeners.
If not, you could be listening anywhere across the country on one of the affiliate stations that syndicates this show.
It's the Liberty News Radio Network, AMF and affiliate stations across the country.
And maybe you're online.
Maybe you don't live in one of our markets.
Maybe you don't even live in this country.
We got a lot of listeners around the world.
You could be tuning in at thepolitical cesspool.org, where we stream the online simulcast, thepolitical cesspool.org.
And I tell you, folks, you know, what a show.
What an audience.
Continue to get emails from you good people tonight.
Just got one in a few minutes ago.
It reads, James, I've been listening for three months now.
So we're all over the place tonight.
Talked earlier in the show about a guy who just tuned into his first show last week.
Got an email last hour from a guy who hasn't missed a show in years.
Now we got another relatively new listener.
He writes, James, been listening to the show for three months now and wouldn't think of missing a show on a Saturday night.
Proud to be a non-politically correct American of Puerto Rican and Aflo ancestry.
I love telling white liberals that I don't need them to save me and watching them flip out.
Keep up the good work.
Yours and the fight.
Bill from Lexington, Kentucky.
And, you know, I'm just reading a couple, a small sampling of emails that I've been receiving tonight.
But just in the small sampling, folks, we've bounced around a little bit from Tipton, Georgia to Lexington, Kentucky.
Got a gentleman from Billings, Montana made an online contribution to the radio program tonight of $10.
And you know what?
Those are exactly the kind of contributions that keep this show on the air.
You know, we are sustained.
The average donation to this radio program, $25, $20, somewhere around there.
I mean, you know, obviously we enjoy receiving larger donations, but it's these kinds of donations that really make our program get going because the kind of people who can only donate $10, $25, people like me, this is who we're here to serve.
And God bless you for that, ladies and gentlemen.
You've given me a great gift.
You know, without the audience, and I say this from time to time, and I'm not trying to pander to you.
I'm not trying to patronize you.
But every time I say it, and it comes up every so often, it comes straight from the heart.
You all have given me a great blessing.
The people, you know, I could come into the studio tonight and spin my wheels, and if there were five people listening, it'd be all done in vain.
Folks, we have a large audience, a large audience.
And you know the sure way to tell how large our audience is is to measure the number of attacks that we sustain.
Do you think these left-wing hate groups that have hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank, like the ADL and the SPLC and all of these rival our peers, our contemporaries in the mainstream media, do you think that they would hate us so much if we were just talking to ourselves?
The reason the political accessible is so attacked and the reason we're attacked so often is because, number one, we're effective.
And number two, we effectively reach a very large number of people and they cannot stand that.
And folks, you have made that possible by supporting this radio program, by tuning into this program, by showing them that we're forced to be weakened with, by showing them that we're formidable.
You have given this show a name and I can't thank you enough for it.
I look in the mirror every day and I'm proud of the reflection I see.
And it's not for the sake of vanity.
It's not for the sake that, you know what, as a result of this show, I'm a minor league celebrity.
And it's not that.
It's because of your good graces, because of the fact that you humor us and you support us, you have made our work successful.
And our work is here in service of a cause far greater than myself.
I look in the mirror, I see that reflection.
I'm proud because I have become a servant to a cause far greater than myself.
And you have allowed me to serve in a way that reaches many, many people.
And as we talked about, I think last week, maybe it was a week or two ago now, you look back the last 12 to 15 months at what this radio program has been able to do.
You're talking about a show, again, we don't have commercial sponsors.
We are sustained by people like this gentleman in Billings tonight that sent us a few dollars, $25, $100.
We are sustained by small donations, but enough of them together helps us keep this show on the air.
And it costs a lot of money each month to keep this show on the air.
You're not talking about some two-bit operation.
You're talking about a nationally syndicated radio program that reaches a lot of people, that consistently generates publicity outside of our own venue here.
And folks, that costs money.
You look back the last 12 to 15 months.
We've been covered on national television, I think, half a dozen times.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live Show, Entertainment Tonight, MSNBC two or three times, CNN had some very big interviews, not the least of which occurred just a couple of weeks ago with Pat Buchanan and all the news that that one made.
They come to us for comments because we are the most identifiable paleoconservative pro-white radio program in the world today.
You've made that possible.
You know the message that we have, this undiluted message that we proudly get out.
We proudly wave this flag.
You allow us to do that with your support.
And folks, you know, we have some ambitious plans for the future.
You know, we never reach a sense of complacency here at the Political Assessable Radio Program.
For all that we've done and all that we've accomplished, we're proud of it.
Well, we don't hang our hat on it.
We want to do more, and we have plans to do more.
But folks, you know, at the end of the day, we have to have you there, not just in spirit, but also with substance.
I don't want to be so crude as to say the old saying, money walks and you know what talks.
But, you know, it costs money to keep this network on the program on the air.
We've got to support them.
It costs money to keep this show on the air.
Folks, bottom line, you listen to this show.
You support this show.
You love this show.
You know, we need you to stand with us in this way.
You can go to thepoliticalspool.org tonight and make a safe, secure, and discreet online contribution.
ThepoliticalAccesspool.org.
We'd love to have it.
We could use it.
It'll make you feel good.
We're going to take a break.
We're going to get back to work at the top of the next segment.
But God bless you all for writing in tonight.
We love you.
We couldn't do it without you.
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 Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, back to politics now.
Herman Kane.
Herman Kane.
We've talked about him so much on this show.
I'm not going to rehash any of that.
If you're a new listener to the program, just go back in the archives and poke around and you'll see what we think about him.
I mean, basically, I guess if you had to put it in a nutshell, the man's just not qualified to be president.
And he wouldn't even be mentioned as a candidate if he weren't black.
I mean, he's the guy that you vote for if you want to prove you're not racist.
He's not qualified for the job.
There's many white people.
You know, I was talking with Sam Bushman, the owner of the network.
He had me on his show earlier this week, and we agreed.
I mean, you know, look, there's some things he says that we agree with, but the bottom line is he just isn't presidential material.
He ran a pizza company and not, you know, too terribly well.
And all of a sudden, he just goes from being kind of an average business manager to presidential frontrunner.
Never even been elected to anything before.
Well, he finally seems to be unraveling, it would appear, as a result of all of these sexual harassment allegations and a disaster of an interview.
A disaster of an interview with the Milwaukee Journal, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I mean, this interview was so bad, it made me cringe when I watched it.
And yes, yes, yes, we have the video for you, the video itself, unedited, at thepoliticalspool.org.
But no, seriously, folks, it was so bad that I could watch a puppy dog being run over by a freight train more stoically than I could watch this interview with Kane.
Totally unprepared to answer questions.
It's just, I felt bad for him.
It was so embarrassing.
But essentially, Republican presidential candidate, frontrunner, if you will, Herman Kane struggled to answer a very simple question about U.S. foreign policy toward Libya in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editorial board last Monday.
They asked him about Libya, and he replied, okay, Libya.
And he glanced up.
Then he asked if President Obama supported the uprising in Libya.
Then he says that he agreed with what Obama did.
And then he said, no, he didn't agree.
And then he says, I don't agree with the way he handled it for the following reason.
Then he cut himself off and said, nope, that's a different one.
He shifted his chair a little bit, adjusted his jacket.
Then he just said, I got all this stuff twirling around in my head.
And I don't listen.
You know, I'm just going to stop myself right there because there's no way there's no way I could articulate to you in words.
Now, I talked a little bit earlier about painting a verbal picture of what Keith was doing in the studio just to kind of illustrate it for you.
But there's just no way.
The English language doesn't have the words it would take to describe this train wreck.
The Kane train goes off the rails.
That's the name of the YouTube video that we've captured for you and placed for you at thepolitical cesspool.org.
Watch it with a bag of popcorn and a Coke.
Richard Spencer, he was on the show last week, a regular guest, the editor of Alternative Right, and he's an executive director of the National Policy Institute, put on the big press conference in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club that I spoke to earlier in the summer.
But he commented on this interview with Herman Kane by saying that Kane had this palin moment.
His campaign justified it by saying he was going on little sleep.
But Jack lagged or not, Spencer writes, it's obvious that Kane was ignorant of the most basic facts regarding Washington's latest foreign intervention.
But who could blame him?
One gets the sense that much as with this time spent on the Federal Reserve Board and much as with the many blacks appointed as CEOs to fulfill rainbow quotas in the New South Africa, Kane has come a long way repeating mindless catchphrases that white people like to hear.
In other words, Kane is justified in not knowing anything about foreign policy because the voters don't want to know anything about foreign policy.
They don't want a candidate to be informed.
They want a candidate.
This is Richard Spencer's conclusion.
They want a candidate that can just get on there and repeat mindless catchphrases and lull them back to sleep, you know, sizzle but no substance.
And there's also no reason to believe that this revelation about Herman Kane knowing precious little about the world affairs will derail the Kane phenomenon.
And again, Richard Spencer is right about that.
This is some sort of a feel-good story.
You can atone for being white by voting for this guy.
And even though he's not presidential material, even though he doesn't know much about the issues, hey, you know, neither do the voters.
So they go hand in hand, right?
Well, if you do know anything about politics, if you do care to keep up, at least in a passing fashion with world affairs, you need to watch this Herman Cain interview.
It's something else.
I can't remember if we talked about this last week or not, but the NBA lockout is setting into nuclear winter, they call it.
The whole season is in jeopardy now.
Looks like they're not going to play basketball all year.
And I think we did mention this last week, but I have a follow-up point.
Now that I'm beginning my talk about the NBA, I seem to remember speaking into this a little bit.
But basically, the NBA players who really are, really do embrace a thug culture.
Now, yes, many of them have rap sheets.
Make no mistake about it.
Many of them are, many of them embody thuggery, and they do fit the textbook definition of a thug.
But even the ones who don't have criminal records, they still embrace the thug hip-hop culture.
Sloppy dress, poor grammar, horrible English, profanity, tattoos from head to toe.
You can't even see their skin.
The NBA is definitely a thug league for the most part.
There's some good upstanding citizens in the NBA, to be sure, but for the most part, it's hip-hop urban ghetto trash.
And I say that as an NBA fan.
I still watch basketball games.
I played basketball.
I like basketball.
But here's the thing.
My point is, and it goes without saying that these NBA players, very few of them graduated from college.
A lot of them didn't even go at all.
They went straight from high school to the pros.
They, based upon their lack of education, based upon the fact that they're thugs, they can't speak.
If it weren't for the NBA, they'd either be flipping burgers or selling drugs.
That's just a sad statement of fact.
But the NBA saves them from all this by paying them on average $5.5 million a year.
Some NBA players make $30 million a year.
Kobe Bryant, $20 million this year he's going to make, or he would have made if they didn't go on strike.
The lowest level NBA player, what, $300,000 a year?
I'll take that job.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
Well, the owners locked them out, which I guess the difference between a strike and a lockout isn't very much.
I mean, the players, the NBA locked them out because they're giving them all their profits.
The players don't think $5 million is enough.
And so therefore they don't want to pay.
They don't want to play until they get more money.
So technically, it is a strike.
Anyway, I'm going to make my point when I come back.
This thing's crazy.
We'll be back on the show and express your opinion in the political cesspool.
Call us toll free at 1-866-986-6397.
All right, quick wrap-up on the NBA lockout.
It looks as though now it's going to the courts.
The NBA lockout is going to the courts.
Might not be a season.
And it's all because the players don't think that $5.5 million is enough, even though without the NBA, they'd be flipping burgers or selling drugs.
Well, you know, the NBA is a very diverse league.
It gets an A-plus rating from an organization that audits sports leagues for its diversity.
And the NBA gets an A-plus.
The NBA is 95% black, so it's very diverse.
That's what they call diversity.
If it's all black, it's diverse, I guess.
So what are they doing?
Well, just like the rest of the people in their community that don't play basketball, they support Barack Obama.
The NBA players do.
And so they are helping.
They're going to throw a lot of NBA players are getting together to throw a fundraising game for Obama's reelection campaign.
In other words, they're going to come and they're going to play a game.
And if you pay to see them play this exhibition game, all of the proceeds go to $1,000.
It's going to be in Washington, D.C., December 12th.
Yeah.
Now, we'll have to put something about this up on the website, I guess.
I'm reading through it now.
I guess that's neither here nor there.
There's other things going on.
Well, speaking of the White House, speaking of Obama, I'm going to give you the definition of a double standard.
You know how the political cesspool, completely abhorrent, I believe someone wrote, because we say we're pro-white, we want to help white people.
The White House, the White House released a report this week detailing how it's helping black people.
I'm going to give you the literal definition.
Now, that's a great example of a double standard.
The literal definition is that a double standard is an ethical or moral code that applies more strictly to one group than to another.
That's a double standard.
We're evil because we seek to help people that share our history, culture, and heroes.
The White House, Obama administration, in other words, releases a report outlining how it's helped blacks, and no one even draws the conclusion that there's some rank hypocrisy there.
The Obama administration unveiled a 44-page report called President's Agenda and the African American Community that highlights fallacies that the White House says have benefited black people.
I almost want to read that again.
It's so hypocritical.
The media has the audacity to condemn people like Pat Buchanan to write all these nasty things about people like me because we seek to do for our family the same thing that the Obama administration is doing apparently African American community.
44-page report from the White House detailing how since he's been in office.
In some respects, I'll get Pete Stanton on the line.
Are you there, Scoop?
Yes, can you hear me, James?
Yeah, I had my board headset to tell me you were there a little bit early, so I don't want to keep you waiting, but you can just tag along with the rest of this story here, Scoop, And tell me what you think about it before we get into the news that you're bringing to the table tonight.
Peter Scoop Stanton, of course, a political accessible correspondent.
And he actually lives up there in Washington.
So maybe he's seen this report.
Have you seen this 44-page report, Pete, that we're talking about here?
I glanced it on AmericanRafnock.com, Gary Taylor's website.
And what got me is it's 44 pages of all the stuff.
So, you know, Obama allegedly helped black people, yet blacks in America have higher unemployment.
Blacks have higher rates of illegitimacy.
Blacks are still incarcerated a lot more than whites.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
They're more likely to drop out of school if they go to blacks are likely to go to less good public schools if you compare, say, like New York City schools versus Westchester County, New York schools.
I mean, he's eventually nothing for the black people.
But I'm willing to bet my house that the blacks are going to vote for him in droves again in 2012.
Well, Herman Kane doesn't seem to think so, but I'll tell you, you know, I've seen some Herman Kane debates and some Herman Kane rallies, and there's not a single black at any of these Herman Kane events.
So he, well, it looks like he's about to fizzle out.
But nevertheless, no, you're right.
I mean, they're all going to vote for him again.
Why wouldn't they?
I mean, that's what people say.
Well, you know, you try to point out some of these double standards to members of the press, and you say, well, do you think that it's quote-unquote racist?
You know, they say we're racist because we, you know, well, because we breathe, I guess, we exist.
And you say, well, 95% of the black community voted for Obama.
Is that racist?
They say, no, well, you know, of course they would.
Why wouldn't they vote for Obama?
It's just like, you know, a dazed look in their face.
But yeah, this thing, again, gave you the literal definition of double standard, and then I gave you a prime example.
An author or a writer for The Root, which is an all-black publication, kind of like Ebony Magazine, points out that last week's reports highlights many of the same policies in creating pathways to opportunity.
The report released last month that outlined that the administration has helped low-income Americans, which means black Americans.
You typically are low-income if you insist to live off of welfare rather than working.
And there's no reason why any black person in America should not have a job when you have practices like affirmative action and quotas and set-asides.
But according to this report, the Recovery Act and its later expansions kept 1.3 million African Americans above the poverty line in 2010 alone.
The earned income tax credit and the child tax credit has benefited black families.
And you know that's right because they have more kids than the typical white family.
So, you know, again, Obama saying that, you know, his policies has helped 1.3 million blacks stay above the poverty line.
Okay.
All right.
Now, you ask him, what has he done to help white people?
And you would get booed off the stage, Pete.
And this is, you know, these are the double standards that give reason for the political cesspool to be on the air.
We are the only show that's going to point these things out.
I mean, it's like the emperor who has no clothes.
You look at this, and it's so odd for anyone not just, you know, how could their eyes not bulge out of their heads just looking at the sheer hypocrisy of it all?
But, you know, so few mention it out loud.
Well, we mention it here.
This is absurd.
Scoop, are you still there?
Yes, can you hear me?
I hear you.
Yeah, you're loud and clear.
Okay, outstanding.
Right.
And then in terms of helping white people, I mean, I know one white person who was affected by the Obama administration, no other than Peter Scoop Stanton.
I was a defense contractor and making good money with the Department of the Navy.
And then I took another job for the retirement benefits.
And I told my employer, I said, listen, I'm taking this other job.
I'll still work for you part-time.
Don't give me half a salary, no benefits.
And I saved the taxpayer tens of thousands of dollars.
And I got a call one day in March of 2009 saying that my job is no longer needed by the Department of Defense.
So thank you, President Obama.
Well, see, this is what we need to do.
Obama was quoted as saying, Pete, I think last Wednesday, that he acknowledged that unemployment for black Americans is way too high.
What we need to do is, you know, okay, Obama, you're concerned about the unemployment for black Americans.
What about, you know, what about people like Peter Scoop Stanton?
What are you doing to help people like Scoop, white Americans, in other words, get good employment?
What have you done?
What has the White House done?
When are we going to see a 44-page report letting us know what you've done to help raise the standard of living, the lot and life of middle-class tax-paying white Americans?
When's that report coming out, Pete?
I guess that's the next one, right?
Right.
But it'll be a one-page report.
He helped the person who makes the 2012 bumper stickers for Obama.
What really gets me is Ron.
All right.
Hey, Scoop, hang on right there, my friend.
When we come back, everybody, Peter Scoop Stanton is going to be with us for the final segment.
I'm sure we're going to get into the Occupy Wall Street thing again because Pete loves this story.
And I do too.
I mean, something that salacious, how could you not want to talk about it?
We'll be back.
We'll see what Pete has in store for us.
Stay tuned.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
We got to get out of this place.
If it's the last thing we ever do, we got to get out of this place.
Welcome back to get on the political cesspool.
Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
Last segment of the show.
I want to apologize during that last segment.
I was told by my producer and board operator during the commercial break that we had a little audio popping there.
That's my fault, that last segment, if I kind of went in and out for a second or two there during my soliloquy.
I was straightening out a microphone here, and I must have pulled it a little bit too far and pulled it out.
But anyway, I think we got it under control now.
And just in time to wrap up the show with Peter Scoop Stanton, who, Scoop, I don't know exactly what you want to talk about tonight.
We kind of like it that way.
We just have Scoop on and we just see what happens.
But if I'm not mistaken, you have gone behind enemy lines.
You have gone to an Occupy Wall Street demonstration.
Is that right?
Yes, I have.
However, it's not Occupy Wall Street.
It's Occupy DC.
Occupy D.C.
So you went to the Washington manifestation of this?
Yes, I did.
Did you see anyone defecating in front of you?
Not quite.
However, the CFCC website did manage to pull a clip from off the internet to show somebody defecating somewhere at this Occupy movement in the District of Columbia.
But it wasn't you.
No, no, no, no.
Yours truly has enough class to at least find a bush.
There you go.
All right.
Well, what did you observe there, in all seriousness?
Well, in all seriousness, I can describe Occupy DC in one word, disgusting.
This park was the same place I had a tea party rally some time ago, April 15th, I believe, is 2010.
First off, this place looks like a campground.
There were tents everywhere.
And then the people occupying the park were nothing but dirt bags.
I mean, just filthy, dirty hippies.
And then the area where the tents were, where people were sleeping, smelled something worse I've never smelled.
I can honestly say I've had to deal with some certain bodily fluids when I was in the U.S. Navy.
I also happened to go to a morgue in the city of New York, but this smelled worse.
I'm not going to go any further.
It's like Woodstock without the music.
I mean, every time I've seen, you've got literal hippies and then neo-hippies and Bolsheviks.
And it's just, you know, I agree with some of the things that they're protesting against, but it's just dirty, smelly, you know, quasi-illiterate.
And then the ones that are literate are just repeating, you know, what they heard Bill Maher say or what they heard Alan Comb say.
I mean, they don't really know much.
And, you know, or, as we posted on the website just a couple of days ago, you've got people just going up there to fight and to be filthy and threaten violence.
And you're starting to see a larger and larger contingency of those types of people, at least according to some of these reports and videos that I've seen.
You're absolutely right because the people that wanted some sort of change, they're going home for Thanksgiving break or they have files coming up or they have something else to do.
So the people occupying these parks or public spaces are absolutely doing nothing.
But back to the District of Columbia Occupy movement, like everything else in D.C., these people were sitting in the park doing absolutely nothing.
There's no chanting.
There's no drumming.
Nobody's distributing pamphlets.
There's no purpose.
It's just like a tent city.
It's just like a sit-in.
They're just there.
Right.
It was a Hooverville.
And then, you know, back to sanitation issues.
There were two port-a-potties at McPherson Park, but they were both closed.
And there were signs on the port-a-potties saying they were closed.
They were full, I guess.
Right.
I mean, the occupiers probably just destroyed them.
I'm not going to go into how they were destroyed.
And on the sign was a sign on the heading was quote-unquote comrades.
So then as I'm seeing just absolute filth and debauchery going on, or actually just filth and nothing going on.
I asked one Metropolitan Police Department officer who was tasked with sitting at the park, who was doing nothing, because the people in the apartment are doing nothing.
I said, who's paying for the porta potties?
And the cop said, I don't know.
So then as I'm walking around this absolute filth fest, two gentlemen of color were sitting on benches across from each other talking.
And they sounded like myself and Obama deer talking off the air.
There you go.
Oh, yeah, and we know what that, yeah, folks, that's salty language, as Pete calls it.
Right, and they were just using, you know, every four-letter word in the book, and, you know, women and other people around, and, you know, just absolutely uncalled for.
Then another gentleman of color was sitting on a cellular telephone made by probably Motorola, LG, or one of the other Apple.
And he was talking to somebody at the other end of the line about his lack of job prospects due to a criminal record.
I mean, it's logic.
One affects the other.
So then as I'm going through, there's a statue of General McPherson with a little fence around it.
He's occupied their bags, went over the fence, and they were just lying around and made that filthy.
And it looked like two, one man was giving another man or a very butch lady a backdrop.
I don't want to stick around to see if it was a man or a woman, but I was also just turned off.
But this was the same part that a tea party protest in that I attended, and there was more people at the tea party protest and no litter.
Yeah, I just don't see, you know, there's just basically a public nuisance.
And I just don't see how they're going to intimidate the Wall Street power brokers.
All right, so you're a Wall Street power broker, Pete.
Let's role play for a minute.
And you see a bunch of people, nasty people, just doing this, just kind of sitting there squatting.
Does that strike the fear of God in you?
I mean, I don't see how exactly they intend to advance their agenda by doing this.
But then again, I'm not a Marxist.
I'm not a reactionary, so maybe I don't understand the tactics.
I mean, can you help me?
I don't know either.
As I was walking around the park like other people were either just seeing what was going on or going about the business, there were some individuals there who were just, you know, I think were mentally deranged, and I wouldn't want to have a conversation with them.
This one guy walking around, he's asking everybody with a camera, a microphone, or saying, are you with the media?
And I want to say that, yeah, I'm with the political cesspool.
You should have.
You should have.
But again, this guy would probably have nothing to say.
But I mean, talking to these, I don't want to talk to these deranged people because I fear for my personal safety.
And if I, you know, I happened to stop one of these people in my left hand, then I'd be going in jail.
Well, you know, Pete, in addition to not being able to pay you for your contributions to this program, it goes without saying that we don't provide you with any medical benefits.
But, you know, we don't have one of these in Memphis.
Memphis doesn't have an Occupy Memphis sit-in.
So you're in one of the cities that's gotten on the bandwagon.
Or, of course, I would lead the charge myself.
But I'm wondering, you go in there with like, you know, your cell phone, anything that you can record video with, and you get a couple of interviews with these things.
I mean, the political, because you do represent the show in an official capacity.
So you could go and, you know, flash your media credentials and just, you know, there's countless YouTube videos of these guys spouting off their nonsense, but an official interview by a political cesspool staffer with some OWS folk.
Now, that's, you know, would you have to wear a bulletproof vest or?
I don't know.
I think these people are coming off of whatever substances they went on.
They arrived from the morning before, the morning of, or during, so I think I could take them.
The funniest thing was that as I'm walking through this park, there's a sign posted by the National Park Service because I guess they own or operate the park that has like no drugs, no alcohol.
And somewhere in the middle, it says no camping.
This place looks like a KOA campground that just, you know, after a tornado or something.
Yeah, right.
And, oh, man, yeah, again, you know, I'm all for, look, yeah, the Federal Reserve, the central banks, Wall Street, not our friends.
I mean, you know, they're definitely not friends of the working-class American taxpayer.
But I don't know how many people go into these OWS meetings or working class American taxpayers.
I mean, you're talking about bums.
How's the banks hurting them?
I mean, they've never had to get a loan.
They've never had to pay back a mortgage.
I mean, what are they complaining about?
Right.
Well, a lot of these are trust fund babies, and they probably have money in the market.
Since the market's been, you know, taking a tumble, I'm sure they're losing money.
Yeah, no, there are some like that, but I'm talking about the people that are just, you know.
Yeah, vagabonds.
Yeah, these folks that are doing their business in the streets.
I mean, you know, surely a trust fund baby doesn't go down there and just totally lose his mind and start doing all that stuff and raping people and threatening to throw Molotov cocktails at Goldsmiths or Macy's or whatever they're called now.
Yeah, I mean, these aren't the kind of people that we're talking about.
Anyway, Pete, we're out of time, but thanks for calling in and spending a few minutes with me.
Look forward to hearing another Behind Enemy Lines segment with you next week.
And on behalf of the rest of my staff and crew in Memphis and Utah, I'm James Edwards, everybody.
