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.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Second hour now upon us.
Coming to you tonight live.
It's January the 28th.
AM 1380 WLRM Radio in downtown Memphis, Tennessee.
Also going out this evening to the AM FM affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network and simulcasting online to the Legion of loyal TPC listeners at thepolitical cesspool.org.
I want to again thank Sam Bushman for joining me during the first hour.
If you missed tonight's first hour, I highly encourage you to consult the broadcast archives at thepolitical cesspool.org after the conclusion of tonight's live show.
Catch what Sam and I had to say about the recent developments in the GOP primaries and many other things.
Keith Alexander actually in the studio right now, all dressed up and nowhere to go.
But we can't have Keith in without him at least saying hi.
Keith, tell him what was going on tonight, and then we're going to get to our featured guest.
And it is a guest, ladies and gentlemen, that I cannot wait to get to.
I've been looking forward to having this guy on the show for a long, long time.
Bill Rowland made it happen by getting him booked this evening.
Ramsey Paul waiting in the wings.
We're just about to bring him on, so stay tuned for that.
That is the highlight of tonight's show.
But first, Keith came in to say, you know, listen, sorry I'm late, but he just had to smell the studio, I guess.
It's a Saturday tradition.
Let me tell you, what I had today was an experience right out of 1984 dealing with government bureaucracy at its finest and most obstinate.
We had to travel.
It was like one of these nightmare dreams where you think you're going to finally end something.
You go to one base and then you go to the next base and that doesn't solve it.
We went to about five or six different governmental agencies being bounced around like a ping pong ball trying to get something very simple, a signature on a particular document.
And we had to go out of state to two different law enforcement agencies to get this done, but it was finally done.
And it shows you basically that we live in Soviet America now.
This is an America in which because of the Patriot Act and because of the increased intrusive surveillance in people's lives, nothing, you know, the old America is dead.
And this is one way in which it's dead.
You're up here in a third world line of humanity trying to carve your way through the bureaucracy just to get the simplest thing done.
This was a job application for someone near and dear to me.
So this is what you have to do.
And it basically shot an entire Saturday.
So the only reason I bring this up is one, James asked for it.
And two, it shows you just exactly, you know, boots on the ground reality of what we tell you about on this show every week, how liberalism is the ruination of America.
And my day today was a case in point.
Regrettably, and I say that in all sincerity, that will be the only contribution Keith has time to give tonight to the program.
But God bless him for coming in here.
He had a bad day.
He was down in Mississippi and trying to race back to Memphis in time for the show tonight.
Came in at the very tail end of the first hour.
And of course, the first hour is Keith's normal domain.
But for him to come in just to say hello to the audience, that goes to show how much he cares for you.
And certainly that's reciprocated towards him.
But anyway, Keith making the best of his time here in the studio tonight.
addition to that little statement he had to share with you.
He is working on an article that's going to be featured at our website next week.
So bravo to Keith for being a good soldier.
Anyway, now it's time for the main event tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
Ramsey Paul, making his debut appearance on the show this evening.
As I said during the first hour, for months, we've been regularly showcasing his hilarious take on the issues at thepoliticalspool.org.
Wit, sarcasm, satire.
He is the master of it.
I am a guy that's, you know, I'm kind of OCD.
I'm kind of a taskmaster.
I don't know exactly the way to do it, to explain what I'm trying to say, but he can take an issue and just turn it on its face.
I see something a certain way.
He just finds a way to make it funny, and he does it better than anyone else.
He minces sacred cows every week at ramseypaul.com.
It's going to be a very memorable interview tonight.
Welcome to the show, my friend.
Hey, well, thank you.
Yeah, that's a big introduction.
I hope it goes well.
No, listen, and well deserved.
I came to know you.
I guess the first time I ever experienced or saw any of your work was last year, early last year, you did what I thought was just the funniest take on a terrible situation when you did the satire on Jared Taylor's American Renaissance Conference.
You know, that got shut down and you phoned in as Agent Ramsey Paul.
And that just had me rolling on the floor.
And we were all in distress that week.
But we posted that.
That was the first time I ever linked to your work.
And I've been a regular fan of yours since then.
And, you know, we occasionally put your stuff up for everybody else to enjoy.
That's how I came to know you.
Many of our listeners tonight on the radio show now also have become fans of your YouTube videos.
How long have you been making them?
I started in 2008.
And it's funny.
It's like it's an accident because it was before the Skype was really popular.
And I wanted a way to talk to my brother who also does videos.
He does carpentry videos.
And so I did it on YouTube.
And I didn't put it on private.
People started to see it.
So it got more and more popular.
And I actually belong, it's a now defunct forum.
It was called Liberty Forum.
It's a libertarian forum.
And so I posted a couple of my videos on there.
And that's how it all kind of started.
And then it kind of grew and grew and grew.
So it's a lot of fun.
See, I'm a technophobe.
And despite only being 31 years old, I considered it a victory to be able to send an email each day.
These things you do actually have, and it comes as no surprise to people who've ever watched them before, but there was some production value attached to this.
It's not like you just got your flip cam and it's all, you know, just a five-minute monologue from you.
You add a few bells and whistles to these.
Well, yeah, it just got better.
I got better at it.
Actually, I started it out as a flip cam, but now I got a little better camera.
But I like it because I got to do it quick because I don't really have much time to do these.
So it kind of tests my improv ability.
So it's a little more fun that way, too, because I can keep a fresh take on the issues, whatever's happening during the day.
And that's another thing that people will find when they go to your website.
I mean, it's always something that's, or almost always, something that's in the news.
If you want to find a hilarious take on whatever major news story may be happening in America or elsewhere, go to ramseypaul.com.
What led you to start making these video commentaries?
Because you tackle some hot-button topics just like we do, race and politics.
Yeah, it decided to, I kind of made my focus cultural Marxism because most people, they won't touch it for obvious reasons.
And cultural Marxism is where you can make fun of whites, you can make fun of men, you can make fun of Christianity.
And let's face it, if you're a comedian, you can make fun of those three and you're not going to get into any trouble, right?
But if you make fun of culture Marxism, there's a lot of risk.
So this kind of a verboten area to make fun of.
So it's like this whole area that was just out there to laugh at.
And, you know, with my friends and people hung around, we laughed about that anyway.
You know, we'd have some beers.
So the whole video was just kind of like being with some friends and just talking over a topic over some beers.
And so that's how it really started.
So I tend to focus on any issue that has to do somehow with culture or cultural Marxism.
And that's what we say, ladies and gentlemen.
You want to see the false gods of cultural Marxism skewered.
You've got to see any single one of the countless videos that Ramsey Paul has put together since 2008.
He said that's when he got started.
I didn't come to know him until, I guess, the early part of 2011.
And that was my loss.
I wish I'd been there from the very beginning.
talked about the improv how long does it take for you to well we got we got a break i hear they're playing our They're playing our song right now.
We got to take a commercial break.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ramsey Paul, our guest, for the full hour tonight.
We are just beginning to scratch the surface.
Stay tuned.
Much more to come.
Available now at newsstands everywhere.
The Sovereign Newspaper.
It is time for you to read the most daring underground publication, Spreading the Word Through Print.
It seeks to enlighten the free people to be knowledgeable with current, important events and take action in their own communities to stop the New World Order agenda of one world government.
This publication is so rogue and extremely daring that establishment sources and critics rarely give approval of its content.
Featured articles by concerned citizens, prominent whistleblowers, and credible authors.
The Sovereign Newspaper is a monthly 32-page tabloid newspaper featuring insidious content about current events in the age of Obama.
The Sovereign Newspaper.
Available now at newsstands everywhere.
So I've seen any good movies lately?
No, not really.
Why do you say it like that?
It's just that those movie trailers are so deceptive.
You know, like, I'll see a commercial for something that looks like a really fun, romantic comedy.
And I go to the theater.
Well, that's $7.50 I'll never see again.
Disappointed?
I'm disgusted is a better word.
Hey, I did finally find a way to know a movie's content before I go see it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's this website, pluggedinmag.com.
Let's me choose the movies I want to see intelligently.
Tells me what's good about a movie, what's bad.
Not only that, but it does the same thing with music and TV shows.
What's wrong?
Well, we just walked out of a movie last week.
Makes me wish I'd checked it out first.
Plugged in, huh?
Plugged inmag.com.
Make sure you get the address right.
Visit pluggedinmag.com for current movie, music, and television reviews.
Plugged inmag.com, helping you navigate through the maze of popular culture.
Dr. Ron Paul.
More than 4,000 babies delivered.
A man of faith, committed to protecting life.
This whole notion of life not being valuable just is something I was never able to accept.
I happened to have walked into an operating room where they were doing an abortion on a late pregnancy.
They lifted out a small baby that was able to cry and breathe.
And they put in a little bucket and put it in a corner of the room and pretended it wasn't there.
I walked down the hallway and a baby was born early, slightly bigger than the baby that they just put in a bucket.
They wanted to save this baby.
So they might have had 10 doctors in there doing everything conceivable.
Who are we to decide that we pick and throw one away and pick up and struggle to save the other ones?
Unless we resolve this and understand that life is precious and we must protect life, we can't protect liberty.
I'm Ron Paul, and I approve this message.
Welcome back.
To get on the Political Cess Bowl, 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.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back.
Welcome back to the show.
James Edwards here.
Keith Alexander just leaving.
I don't know if a little bit of that bled over.
I was having a little fraternal conversation with my good and just fraternity brother, co-host Keith Alexander.
Thank you, Keith, for coming in tonight, buddy.
We'll catch you next week.
I know you're going to be listening on the AM dial as you drive home tonight to the interview that's unfolding here.
Keith's going to be listening to his favorite show, he said, on the way home.
Ramsey Paul, our guest, when he tunes in, he'll be listening as we continue with the YouTube sensation, Ramsey Paul.
Right before that last commercial break, I was asking you, you know, you can tell that some of it's improv.
How much time do you spend on each video coming up with the material?
How much of it's scripted?
How much of it's off the cuff once the camera starts rolling?
Rarely I have a script.
I mean, I might write something on a napkin, just high level.
Really?
Yeah, because I typically have no idea what I'm going to do.
You know, I do my videos on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, and usually I have no idea when I wake up.
I just look at the news and look at Drudge Report and some of the websites.
And then I just think of a story, and then I just think of maybe take a little interesting angle on it.
And then I just like to go with it.
So I don't really put any time in the script.
I prefer it when I do it kind of live with something.
For example, a couple of years ago, there's a great story.
There's this guy had a diner in the South, and it might have been in Nashville, actually, where you are.
But anyway, he was going to be really politically correct.
And he was going to give everyone 30% off if you bring someone of the other race in.
I think I remember a story like that.
It's hilarious.
And so I said, you know, I got to call this guy.
So, because, you know, I just called him.
I said, hey, you know, and I called him, and I got the manager.
And so, you know, it's all improv.
But it was a great interview because I was able to ask him, well, what does it mean?
Like, I know this Japanese girl, but she's only half Japanese.
Does that mean I get 15% off 30?
And he's like, well, I don't know.
I think he's still got 30.
I'm like, oh, well, how about if they're Jewish?
And he's like, well, I think Jewish, you know, they're a religion.
I'm like, well, no, I have a friend.
His name's Ben Bernanke, and I don't think he's religious.
I know Ben.
He wants a discount.
I mean, that's his type.
I'm glad you brought that up.
But this is another thing, folks.
Again, I got to tell you this real quick before I accentuate your point.
You talk about just waking up and finding something.
I mean, sometimes, you know, we have to do this during the week.
You know, we have two or three articles or our takes on articles that we'll post every day at our website.
But sometimes, you know, it's just a slow news day.
Nothing's speaking to me.
Nothing's motivating me to get out there and work up an article.
So sometimes it's just hard to find something.
If we're ever short on content, I go straight to your website.
I find one of your newest videos.
We put them in, and we do that about once or twice a month, to be honest with you.
So you actually should be getting some sort of a kickback from this show for helping us to fill content on our website when we're not able to do it on our own.
But this is something he does, ladies and gentlemen, in his videos that I think is absolutely, again, just a riot.
You'll call.
You'll find somebody that's cowing to political correctness, like this diner, for instance, that you just mentioned.
Or in one of your videos this week, the Super Bowl is coming up.
So they're worried that there's going to be an increase in sex trafficking, human sex trafficking in Indianapolis, the side of the Super Bowl.
So you called up the office.
They want people to snitch.
If they see somebody walking around with a young lady and you think that they might be a suspect of sex trafficking, you got to call up this number.
And you'll call up the people that are doing this stuff and you'll do your best to make a joke of them, but they take it all too seriously.
Yeah, yeah.
It's fun doing it that way.
And a lot of people don't understand my videos because I do a lot of satire.
And some people, especially in foreign countries, sometimes people don't understand satire, especially in Asia or whatever, because they don't really have that concept.
But a lot of people understand what I'm doing because I don't always do my videos straight.
I sometimes pretend to be something else than I am just to make a point.
Right, right.
Well, folks, when you go to his website, I understand that this is the case, which I picked up on it instantly.
And it's, again, what makes it so enjoyable is that, and truly, it's what they hate more than anything.
The purveyors of cultural Marxism, political correctness, they hate to be laughed at.
They want to be taken deathly serious because it is the new state religion or superstition, if you will.
So they hate for people to mock them.
And you do it better than anyone, honestly, that I've ever seen.
How many videos have you made so far?
Like I said, I came to know your work a little over a year ago, but a little less than a year ago, I guess it has been now.
You said you've been going since 2008.
How many videos does that constitute?
Oh, hundreds.
I do three a week, and some of my old ones I deleted because looking back at them, I didn't really like the production quality.
You improve your work, obviously.
Yeah, it's a different focus I had or whatever.
Or like I said, the earlier videos, a lot of them are very kind of personal and private because I didn't really mean to everyone in the world to see it.
So I kind of removed that because, you know, some of my family and stuff, I don't want to get them involved.
So, you know, because it just is something that I do.
But yeah, there's hundreds out there, and it's been a fun experience.
And I enjoy doing them, that's for sure.
Which ones or which topics received the largest number of views?
Have there been any?
I mean, you get thousands of views on any given one that you do.
Right.
So you've got a big built-in audience to begin with.
But are there any topics or a couple of videos that have just really went viral?
Yeah, the English tram lady, I got her 400,000 views now on that one, my response.
And because that really hit a chord, because that really, especially in England, they're being replaced.
The white, the British, the white British are being replaced.
And I think a lot of them feel that way, but they feel like they shouldn't feel that way.
So it's a when you touch on something that people are not confident on, they get sometimes very angry.
And a lot of people got really angry with my video on that one.
Because if you're confident on a subject, if someone should disagree with you, you're like, yeah, what the heck?
You know, I don't care.
But if you're not really quite sure of what you believe, it can get you very angry.
And that's really what happened.
So a lot of people are really starting to doubt this whole, is it really good to have unrestricted immigration into a country like England?
Is it really enriching the country?
And a lot of those people are thinking, well, maybe it really isn't.
Now, it's tricky in England because unlike the United States, we still have the First Amendment.
But in England, you can be arrested if you say the wrong thing politically.
Which she was.
Yeah, exactly.
She just criticized, you know, and I did a video that also got a lot of views that same week that she got arrested.
If you remember, she was complaining about immigrants.
And she's a lower-class woman, and she wasn't the most, but she wasn't like William Buckley, right, on Firely Mind.
She was a recruiter.
But that same time she did that, she got arrested for that.
But during that same week, there was a white lady that was attacked by three Somali immigrants, and they called her a white slag, and they were using racial slurs.
And the judge in England released the Somali immigrants saying, well, they're new.
They can't handle their alcohol.
Well, so the Somali immigrants actually physically attacked a white girl, ended up getting no penalty.
And this lady, she was thrown into prison just for saying words, just speaking.
I want to remind everyone of what you're talking about here.
I'm sure most people already know this was a huge story a couple of weeks ago.
You had this woman on a tram in the United Kingdom, and she got into a pretty colorful disagreement with some non-white immigrants.
And because she used some language that wasn't approved of, she goes to jail just for language, mind you.
And it's a woman to boot.
So it's not like she posed a great physical threat to these people, but she was just saying, you know, how bad, how they're turning the country into a flop house and things of that nature.
She goes to jail.
Meanwhile, the very same week, you've got non-white Somali immigrants who physically assault a woman and they get off without any sort of punishment.
And I just want to say this too while we're on the subject.
You said that video you did about the English tram lady reached nearly a half a million views.
Ladies and gentlemen, this should go to serve as an inspiration to all of you.
We always talk about everyone doing their part.
I do my part.
You do your part.
Together, collectively, we may be able to reach some people.
This is one man.
What our guest tonight has been able to do with one single video, keep in mind he has hundreds of them, all of them reaching thousands of people.
But here's just one that went huge.
It was a bestseller, if you will, a number one hit.
Half a million people.
That's a half a million people who came to know his thoughts.
And folks, his thoughts very closely mirror our own.
And that's, again, just another reason why I'm such a fan of his work.
We've got to take a break.
We've got two more segments of Ram Z. Paul.

All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the show.
We've got two more segments tonight with our featured guest for the evening, a man making his debut appearance on the Political Cess Pool, one that we hope will be followed up with many, many more, Ramsey Paul.
Again, his internet website, ramzepaul.com.
You can find him on YouTube all too easily.
We learned just a second ago that he has hit a nerve with the cultural Marxists with some of his videos.
Received a big volume of response and views at YouTube with several of them.
What other videos besides the English tram lady have really set the liberals on fire that you've made?
Well, I did a video about Tim Wise.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with it.
Oh, yes.
He's a, anyway, when the Republicans won the last election in the midterm elections or whatever, he got drunk some night and just wrote this screed about, you know, well, you white people, you better just enjoy it now because soon your heart will be stopping and, you know, your time is limited.
And it's just like a real hateful screed.
And I thought, you know, this would be interesting.
What if someone just, wherever you have the word white, where he wrote the word white, what if you put the word Jew on there?
And so I just said, okay, I'm going to read this.
And I read it like, okay, this is something from Goebbels that was written in 1932.
And then I read it and I read everything that Tim Wise wrote, except I replaced the word, you know, white with Jew.
And then I said, wow, this sounds terrible, doesn't it?
And, you know, most people think, wow, yeah, that is just hardcore.
And I said, but it wasn't him.
It wasn't Goebbels.
It was Tim Wise.
And he was talking about white people.
You know, he said that.
And it elicited, I mean, really, it obviously got some national press, but nothing to the extent it would have been had the roles been reversed as you did it.
Right.
And so what happened, there's some people that they did a DMCA complaint on that saying they try to get that video down.
And YouTube has to take it down at that point because it's a legal thing.
But they use most people, they don't have the resources.
They don't think they'll challenge it, but I do have some resources to challenge this legally.
And because you've got to be careful, if you do a false claim, you can be liable yourself.
And so I challenged that, and I won it, and I got the video back up.
So that was kind of an interesting one, because it, you know, they tried to censor it, but I won that battle.
Congratulations on that.
Yeah, I encourage people to do that.
Never just be passive.
Always fight back when someone does something like that that's wrong.
So that got a lot of views.
And I did another video.
It was kind of fun.
I pretended to be a liberal over a period of years that had a daughter, and I do have a daughter, that wanted to, you know, send this child to school, and it was a good school, but it just lacked diversity.
And then I said I was on the board, and then we need to get more diversity.
And then I just showed how things, you know, progress there.
And a lot of people thought I was real.
You know, I was doing a real video over a period of years.
But it that got a lot of views too because it really shows kind of the hypocrisy of the liberals, the white liberals.
They always say they want diversity, but they really they always try to get away from it.
Well, you know, you did another one of those alternate reality takes on a matter just, I believe, what, last week, two weeks ago, you did the Ramsey Paul take on the Pat Buchanan MSNBC ta-da-ta, which, of course, we've been in the thick of since October, it looks like.
So that's another one.
It's kind of like the Tim Wise thing.
You just replaced white and black, and it's a whole new story.
Yeah, I just did everything backwards, and I assumed that it was, instead of Pat Buchanan, who's on MSNBC, I said this white group, hate group, was trying to get Al Sharpton off.
And so I just reversed everything, and I did some things in the background.
I reversed transferring my shirt backwards, I think.
I noticed that.
Drinking another upside-down mug and everything else.
Yeah, I was just trying to make a point that everything is really upside down.
So it's real easy to make fun of these people, the culture Marxists, because all you have to do is just switch everything around.
And if you did the exact same thing, but reverse the roles, it would be considered horrible.
And we see that all the time.
It's just endless.
You know, for example, that white girl that was attacked in the Portland bus by all the blacks.
And if that had been reversed, it would be, oh, Katie Korak would still be crying.
There'd be people out there.
There'd be talks that we need to have a racial reconciliation.
We need dialogue.
Which when they say they want dialogue, they mean they want white people to apologize, is what they mean.
That's the dialogue they want.
That's what they mean by dialogue.
So it's easy to do that to make fun of all this.
And it's fun.
I just enjoy doing it because I'm not really selling anything or I'm not a politician.
Like I said, I'm just an American with a camera, right?
Well, and how did you did you know, I think we covered this already, but I just want to reiterate the point.
You knew going into this when you started this in 08 that you wanted to infuse humor and satire into it rather than just do matter-of-fact takes on the news?
Yeah, because I consider one of the greatest cultural Marxists, and I don't mean great meaning a good person, but defective, was not like Trotsky.
It was Norman Lear who in the 70s was able to get the cultural Marxist message out in shows like All in the Family and other sitcoms that were kind of funny because that really responds to people.
People respond to things that are entertaining and amusing and funny to listen to, and they don't really like so much, you know, the preaching of the choir type of thing where someone gives a speech.
So that's kind of what I did.
And I also did it for my own amusement because I like to make fun of things.
And the guys I used to hang around with, we'd sit around with beers and shoot stories and make fun.
So that was the reason I got into it.
And I think that message, the way of doing things can be a little bit more effective than just a straight, you know, it is.
And it's again, one of the major reasons I I gravitated to to what you're doing is because it is so unique.
It is so fresh.
And let's face it, as we said a few minutes ago, I believe that the cultural Marxists hate being mocked.
And at the same time, we need that comic relief too.
I mean, it's a pretty dire situation out there for the founding stock.
I mean, there are a lot of things not going the way that they should be.
And there's a lot of things against us going against us right now.
But to be able to laugh at some of these problems is almost therapeutic on some levels.
And that's, again, something that you're able to provide.
Have you received any media attention?
I know you're beginning to make the rounds.
Richard Spencer had you on a few weeks ago, I know, and then you're on with us tonight.
Have you received any media attention above and beyond maybe the talking heads of the paleoconservative movement, the right, libertarian, whatever you want to call it?
No, just indirectly, sometimes people reference my videos.
I think they've referenced it in regards to you, too.
There's some controversy.
I forget who it was.
I apologize.
But it was Mother Jones magazine was saying you had a sheriff on, and they're trying to discredit him because, you know, you're, you know, they call your show a white supremacist show or whatever.
And they said, oh, he had a video on the link to the show that was making fun of East St. Louis, which is primarily African American.
No, it was my video.
That was you.
That was you.
Yes, I remember that video you did.
I actually remember, I just read, that was actually written in January, that Mother Jones article.
Yeah.
I just read it two days ago, and I'm actually going to be talking about it in the third hour tonight.
So it's just almost uncanny you brought that up.
But yeah, that was the whole incident with Sheriff Paul Bevieu.
Listen, go to our website and read that sorted tale.
I mean, that could be the subject of the Ramsey Paul thing coming up.
But that was a thick story, involved John McCain and a bunch of other things.
But yeah, Paul Bebue came on.
And anyway, we'll talk about that in the third hour.
But I just can't believe you mentioned that because I just found out about that article two days ago, even though it was a couple of months old.
And I'm going to be talking about it here in the third hour.
But back to you for now.
How do you, again, we're talking about thousands and thousands of people, sometimes hundreds of thousands of people seeing a single video that you produce?
I mean, folks, these are amazing numbers.
And let me tell you something.
Not everybody can do it.
It is incredibly hard to have anyone visit your website, watch your video.
It isn't just something that anybody can do.
You put something up, half a million people see it, no problem.
It's incredibly difficult to do.
You would never know how hard it is.
You can never understand how hard it is until you get into media and try to become successful.
Thankfully, we've been able to do it.
Ramsey Paul has certainly been able to do it.
Others have, but many more have not.
How do you market the work?
How did it catch on so much?
Well, you know, it really started.
It's kind of interesting.
If you want to see where it really started, it I did a video in 2008 called The Truth, I called it, and it only got it like 800 views.
But at that point, it is really where I kind of changed.
I really said in the video, what if you just be honest and just say things like you that are really happening out there instead of trying to be politically correct or use code words or whatever?
And so that really, I think why people like the videos is they're even though I use a lot of satire, ironically, though, they're all very true.
What I speak about is what I believe in, and I don't try to hide from my beliefs.
And I think it resonates with a lot of people because a lot of people that I talk to in what I call the real world, they hold very similar beliefs to what we do.
And what I call myself as a nationalist, meaning I believe everyone has a right to exist.
Everyone has a right to self-determination.
That's all it means.
And most everyone, even of other races and stuff, they believe that.
Because it's not kooky.
It's not, you know, wearing a costume, you know, shouting slogans and all that.
It's just having a right for our people to exist and to live the way we want to live.
And that's not a hateful message.
And I think most people can support that.
And so I think that's why it's popular because people believe that sort of thing.
I've said that to the point of exhaustion on this show.
I say it probably once a week, if not more.
And I truly believe that you're talking about real people, working-class America, middle Americans.
I do believe, and I don't think I'm being naive in saying this because I've been around long enough to know, I think the majority of Americans still fundamentally believe in a lot of the things we have to say.
It's just a matter of making them fashionable, making them in vogue, and you're going a long way to doing that.
Folks, we've got to take a break.
Last segment with Ramsey Paul coming up right after this.
Scott Bradley here.
Most Americans are painfully aware that the nation is on the wrong track and in dire straits.
Unfortunately, most political pundits only nibble around the edges when they claim to address the issues.
Even worse, many of the so-called solutions are simply rewarmed servings of what got us into the mess we currently face.
And the politicians think we're so gullible and naive that we'll buy their lies that they have reformed and now understand where they led us astray.
Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that they simply wish to continue to hold power.
The solution to America's challenges is found in returning to the timeless principles found in the United States Constitution.
My book and lecture series will reawaken in Americans an understanding and love of the principles which made this nation the freest, most prosperous, happiest, and most respected nation on earth.

And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the Political Success Pool Radio Program.
You're enjoying as much as I am this interview with Ramsey Paul.
Encourage everyone listening tonight, check out his website, ramzepaul.com.
If that's too much for you to remember, all you got to do is go to our website.
You know, you got that in your favorite places if you're listening online tonight, thepolitical cesspool.org.
There at the promo at the top of the blog roll, the promo for tonight shows got a direct link right over to ramseypaul.com.
If you want to find it, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to.
Talking with him tonight about his incredible work, the satire, the humor that he infuses within all of these videos, some of which have become enormously well-viewed, up to half a million unique views on YouTube and so much more.
Let me ask you this: any long-term projects underway?
You said you come out with new episodes of the Ramsey Paul Show every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
You got anything above and beyond your standard fare?
You're going to do like the X-Files and make a movie, a documentary, something different?
I think that three is enough.
I started actually a couple years ago, I did one every day, but that got to be too much.
Oh, yes, no way.
It was affecting the quality.
I was like, I can't do it.
And I love doing them, but sometimes when I don't have my idea, I'm kind of like you.
I'm like, oh, geez, what am I going to do today?
And I get stressed.
And then usually something always comes up, though.
Just kind of amazing how that works.
So I have a lot of fun doing it.
It's like I said, kind of a hobby of mine.
And it's just, you know.
It's always rewarding.
God knows we don't make money toiling for the calls, but it's always rewarding to know that something that you are so passionate about is well received or at least well viewed.
I mean, you know, we make news all the time.
Our name may be mud, but at least we're getting out there and open-minded people can come and draw their own conclusions after they come and check us out.
And I know you've undoubtedly woken a lot of people up to the truths about what's going on with political correctness.
And that's one thing.
You got to give them this.
There's never really a shortage.
We might have a hard time finding it sometimes, but there's never a shortage of things to make fun of from the left because their entire ideology is just overflowing with double standards and hypocrisy.
A couple of things this week.
I'm not sure if you've seen them yet.
These are stories that we're tracking, and we're going to put some articles up next week.
We haven't even had the time to do so ourselves because some of these are fairly new stories.
But a billboard up in Minnesota is something along, and this was a billboard that came with the mayor's endorsement of some Minnesota town.
It says, have you seen racism today?
If you answer no, you must be white, as if only whites can be racist and all whites are racist, but never the victims of such a thing.
And then also, this pseudo-scientific study proved that conservatives, if you have conservative beliefs, it's a result of a low IQ.
Well, as we all know, when it comes to IQ, I believe in the hierarchy of it all, you have what, Jews, Asians, whites, Hispanics, and then blacks.
This must mean, according to this scientific research, that blacks are the most conservative people in the world.
In fact, they are reactionary, in fact.
You know what I'm saying?
But of course, what it's meant to say is that if you're a conservative, and it goes on to tie in the whole racist gambit, if you're a conservative or a racist, they use these as interchangeable words, it must be a result of low IQ.
Well, that kind of backfired on them when you look at true scientific statistics about IQ.
Have you heard about any of those stories?
Yeah, yeah.
It's kind of funny because there's double standards there because half the time they say, well, there's no really such thing as IQ anyway.
You can't measure IQ.
It's because, you know, the tests don't go like they want.
So they always say, no, no, no, no, IQ tests don't mean anything.
And then now all of a sudden they're trying to make up this IQ thing.
And the same thing with the race implication because I heard about that billboard about, oh, you know, you must be white.
Half the time they're saying, well, you know, there's no such thing as a white race.
I don't know what you're talking about.
When you say you're white, what does that mean?
I don't even know what that means.
But race is a social construct, they say.
So therefore, if there is no such thing as race, how can one group of people be racist because race doesn't exist, according to them?
So sometimes it exists, sometimes it doesn't exist.
It depends on their point of view.
Yeah, and that's what I ask.
I mean, what was the big deal about Barack Obama being elected president?
I mean, you know, he's not black because there's no races.
Why did everybody get so excited?
Why was that so historic?
Right.
And I did a call on that because it really kind of confused me.
And I saw a story.
This was another video I did about a year ago.
In Seattle, if you're a protected minority, they call it, you get preferences for government jobs.
I think everyone knows that, right?
And so in Seattle, the city of Seattle was just hiring if you're African American.
They gave you an advantage.
So I called this organization and saying, well, how can I get registered as being an African-American?
Because I think, you know, they say everyone came out of Africa.
Here's a fun conversation I had with a lady.
Well, you know, and that is absolutely funny, but there are some people, you know, I've read about these instances before.
Some people, you know, there are white Africans, people who were born in Africa.
Their family's been there for generations.
You know, the colonists, particularly in South Africa, born in Africa.
I mean, his great-great-grandparents were born in Africa.
They've been down there for hundreds of years.
They are truly Africans.
I mean, how else could you qualify it?
But then, you know, they'll come over here, list themselves as African Americans, and then they'll get disqualified, even though they truly are more African-American than the blacks that are born here.
But they'll write on their application, African-American, and then they'll get bounced as soon as they find out they're white.
I mean, come on.
Right.
Yeah, because the left's in the buying because they don't want to admit, you know, there's three basic racial groups, you know, the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negroid, and they don't want to admit that they exist.
But at the same time, they want to give special privileges to people that supposedly don't exist.
It's so fun to make fun of because they're so illogical.
And maybe it's because I have a low IQ, but I think it's just hilarious how they can't keep their dogma straight.
Well, it's impossible to keep straight because it's rooted in nothingness.
Right.
Well, if you read Orwell in 1984, they believe in doublethink, where they hold two mutually contra you know, opposing point of views at the same time, but it doesn't bother them because they don't think about it.
Well, that's right.
Well, that's exactly what's going on.
I mean, Orwell had no, I mean, you could have never, he would have never thought he would have been so prophetic, I don't guess, because, I mean, everything he wrote about has become true and then some.
But do you think the white people are getting the message that our existence is threatened by the increasingly hostile minorities who still think they're victims of racism?
Yeah, I think people are becoming more aware of the situation.
And the thing about white people, because I am one, I always say some of my best friends are white people.
I don't see us as being as evil as everyone makes us out to be in general because they talk about white flight, but most white people, they just want to kind of raise their family and do their jobs.
And I've never met a white person, honestly, and they say they're everywhere, but I've never met someone that hates someone because of skin color.
They may not want to be around a certain group because of their tendency to engage in violence or whatever, but not because of skin color or anything like that.
That's right.
And so we have a white flight, but how is fleeing a situation, how is that an aggressive act?
I don't really see that as being aggressive.
You would think, based on the media, that there's these roving gangs of white men that are terrorizing peaceful African Americans.
And I just don't see it.
Maybe they're not reporting on it, but I just don't see it.
I see it the other way around.
And so I think white people in general just want to live peacefully.
They don't want to hurt other races, and they don't necessarily hate other races, and they're okay with, for example, the Japanese living in Japan.
They don't have any problem with that, most white people.
And that's why, according to your, going back to one of your earlier questions, I think most white people, you know, they don't want to be considered a white supremacist because most whites don't hold that position.
I don't hold that position.
Most any whites I know don't hold that position of being, we need to put down other races.
We need to exploit it.
We need to put them into slavery.
I don't know any whites like that.
I don't know.
I've never met one.
And most people, they just want to live peacefully and they want to have their own areas.
And it's natural that you would want to live around people who share your history and culture.
I mean, that's only natural.
Right.
And it's only a problem, though, if white people do that, right?
Have you ever heard, and maybe you have because you're connected with the media, but I've never heard the media say, you know, we have a big problem in Nigeria.
Pretty much all the Nigerian politicians are black.
Listen, I've never heard that one.
They need diversity.
They need more white people.
This is just terrible.
But you hear that about Europe.
It's always one way.
It's never, even in this country, you have, oh, boy, we need to get diversity in this town.
There's not enough ethnic minorities.
But you never hear about, you know, the problem with Detroit is it's all black.
No, you never will hear that.
No, exactly.
So, and in fact, the problems that the all-black areas have are somehow tied to whites that aren't there and never, in some cases, have been.
Right.
And actually, in one of the videos I did, I think it was about my movie review of Waiting for Superman.
And I don't know if you're familiar with that movie, but it was put out by the educational establishment saying basically what African American kids need are like white people to help teach them or make them better.
And one of the biggest tragedies I think in this country has been is we spent, I don't know, probably a trillion dollars in so many years of white liberals trying to make Africans into white people.
They're sure that if they just dig deep enough, there's a white person there, and that these African Americans are broken and they need to be fixed and made into white people.
And I consider that so patronizing.
It's like, no, they're fine.
They're different, but they're fine.
You don't need to fix them.
And we're fine.
And that's why you have nations.
And that's why I'm a nationalist is it doesn't mean you hate people.
But in many ways, I'm sympathetic with African Americans.
They deserve to have their own area, their own country, this self-determination as we do.
And it prevents some of that exploiting on both sides.
No, I'm with you 100%.
And listen, I want to tell you that this hour has gone by far too quickly.
My only regret in tonight's interview is that we didn't extend it for longer, but we hope to have you back very soon.
And folks, if you're just tuning in, you tuned in late this hour.
You didn't get a chance to hear the entirety of our discussion with Ramsey Paul, our featured guest tonight at Odcast Archive a couple hours after tonight's show.
Check it out there at thepolitical session.org.
And my friend, thanks so much for coming on tonight.
Let's make this a regular happening.
Yeah, it's fun.
I'd like to do it again.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you, my friend.
It's entirely our pleasure.
Ramsey Paul, everybody, checking out at ramseypaul.com.
We're going to take a break, third and final hour forthcoming, right after these words from our sponsors.
I'm James Edwards and I'll see you in a few minutes.
