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.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
Hour number two of three now upon us this Saturday evening, February 4th.
Coming to you live tonight, AM 1380, WLRM Radio downtown Memphis, Tennessee, going out to the AMFM affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network and simulcasting online at thepoliticalcesspool.org.
What a great first hour it was.
What a great first hour.
Any hour we have with Keith is always stellar, which is why we always make sure he's with us for at least the first hour of each week's live installment.
And apparently, I am not the only one to bask in the glow of Keith's intellect.
We shared a couple of emails at the top of the show.
I've got to share an email with you now, ladies and gentlemen, that came in while we were in that last commercial break.
And I sure hope Keith is listening on one of the two Memphis radio stations that play us live each Saturday night because he'll get a kick out of this.
This email came in, again, just a moment ago from Political Cesspool listener Graham.
And Graham writes that, dear James and Keith, I'm sitting here on Sunday morning in Sydney, Australia, listening to the Political Cesspool, and just have to send an email congratulating Keith on that outstanding critique of Ann Coulter.
Truly, magnificently stated.
He summed her up absolutely perfectly.
A phony, a false conservative.
Well done.
Great show as always.
Folks, that makes my night.
I mean, you know, we talk about the people who listen to this show from all around the world, but from Australia, I mean, you're talking about a guy that's listening to the show live right now, and he's not even in the same day as we are.
I mean, it boggles the mind.
It boggles the mind.
We've got someone listening to the show live.
It's 7 o'clock Central Time, a little bit after 7 here in Memphis.
Someone listening to us on Sunday morning in Sydney, Australia, listening live.
Outstanding.
Graham, thank you for taking the time to write in and thank you for being a TPC listener all the way over there in Australia.
Now, if I know one guy that is on even, that's at an even par with Keith Alexander when it comes to intellect and to his ability to deliver a commentary, it's got to be our good friend Sam Bushman, host of the Liberty Roundtable.
Sam increasingly becoming a regular here on this show.
He's the owner of the Liberty News Radio Network, of course.
And without him, there would be no political cesspools.
So we're appreciative for that.
But Sam was on last week, and we gave a brief plug to a very – Hold on, James.
Before you get into this, though, I just want to agree with Graham and give a shout out to Keith and say, you know what, it's incredible commentary.
He's right as rain on Ann Coulter.
And Ann gets away with her liberal promotions and deception because she goes on the attack.
And if you don't study Ann Coulter at first, you think your attacks sound right.
On the surface, they seem right.
What you got to do is dig a little bit and think through what she's really saying and what she's really doing and the timing of her attacks.
And then you begin to see that, you know what, Keith Alexander is absolutely well researched and on target.
Sam, I appreciate that.
You don't feel the same way, but it's always good when you hear others backing you up.
But I'm still boggled about the whole Australia thing.
It being Sunday over there anyway.
Isn't that cool?
I'm simple-minded, I guess, but that's pretty cool.
All right.
What also is very cool, Sam, is the big meeting you went to in Las Vegas, Nevada.
You were one of the featured speakers there.
We've mentioned it just very briefly last week, and now that it's already come and gone, I'd like for you to fill us in on what truly was an outstanding event by all information thus far.
Wow, James, it was beyond an historic event is all I can say.
Here's what happened.
The Constitutional Sheriffs of Peace Officers Association, nicknamed the CSPOA at cspoa.org, headed by Richard Mack and a board full of constitutional sheriffs currently elected, currently sitting in office, currently representing their citizens constitutionally.
Those guys put together an incredible event, and I was privileged enough to be part of the organizing team, the coordinating team to make it happen.
I was asked to be a speaker and more.
And I'm telling you, they got a first off, they raised $100,000 to kick off the event.
Wow.
And it was the people that made that happen.
No credit goes to anybody but all of you listeners out there, conservative constitutional Americans, and by the way, many constitutional people around the world that were not even American citizens for that matter, helped out a ton.
Anyway, the bottom line is they raised $100,000 and they invited sheriffs all across the country.
They got committed, paid for the travel oven.
Over 100 sheriffs and deputies attended the event.
You had county commissioners and all kinds of people that are elected in office.
It was an event where Michael Badnerik started out by educating sheriffs on constitutional principles.
Then it went to Sheriff Richard Mack.
Then it went to constitutional sheriffs telling about their experiences fighting the feds in office.
One, for example, sheriff told about his experiences.
He ran on a constitutional platform.
He basically told the people about his running for office and his constitutional efforts in office.
The opposition couldn't even answer his constitutional stances.
I mean, it was just tremendous.
Sheriff after sheriff, we had four or five or six sheriffs telling their different experiences where they've just absolutely told the feds to go fly a kite.
One sheriff in Indiana, for example, talked about how the sheriff heard about a farmer who was struggling because the feds just kept coming and harassing him and investigating him.
And the sheriff basically wrote a letter to the feds and said, you better knock this off.
You're in my county.
You're not coordinating.
You're not getting permission from me.
I'm the chief law enforcement officer.
You better stop.
They wrote back and said, sheriff, you're out of line.
We'll arrest you.
He wrote back and said, have you lost your mind?
I'm the chief officer in this county.
You come into my county belligerently like this and I will arrest you.
They said, give me the district attorney.
We want to talk to the district attorney trying to go over his head.
He said, wait a minute, the attorney works for me.
I'm the chief law enforcement officer here.
And the people have duly elected me.
You guys have no constitutional authority.
You better stop.
And they basically then ignored it.
That was on Friday on a weekend.
On Tuesday, they wrote back and said, might we please sit down and discuss?
And he told this story.
I'm telling you, it was just absolutely a beyond this world event.
You had guys like Sheriff Joe Arpaio speaking.
He spoke to the crowd, just a tremendous speaker.
The godfather.
I mean, the godfather of constitutional sheriffs.
All right.
You had guys like Tom Woods speaking about constitutional realities of the 10th Amendment, Nullify Now.
Tom Woods spoke.
Now, Tom Woods, I don't know if you know much about him, but he wrote the book Nullify Now.
He's a multi-bestseller author.
And he basically went to Harvard.
I don't know if you know about this.
No.
And he said he applied at Harvard, didn't think he'd get admitted.
He did.
He said, the second I got admitted, I knew it was something I could use against him once I graduated.
It was just tremendous.
And these sheriffs, I'm telling you, 100-plus sheriffs are sitting there listening to this.
Joe Bannister, who used to be the IRS special agent, who basically investigated the IRS, found out they were all bogus.
It's unconstitutional.
They don't have any authority.
The income tax is voluntary.
Stood up on stage and told his story to all those sheriffs.
I mean, it was an event to top all sir.
It was beyond imagination.
That's outstanding.
And you know, Sam, that's another reason I'm very proud to be able to host this show, because if you rely strictly on the establishment media to feed you your daily bread, you will never, ever hear news about manifestations such as this.
You said the word historic, and I know that word gets thrown around a lot, but I don't think in this case, I think it's absolutely appropriate.
You're talking about, ladies and gentlemen, think about this now.
What'd you say, Sam?
I know we're coming up on a break, but 100 sheriffs in attendance?
100 elected sheriffs.
I don't know that they're all constitutional, but they're all learning about the Constitution, sir.
All right, let's take a break and we're going to come back and wrap it up.
This is something we can invest a little hope in, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be back and tell you a little more about it right after this.
And I go to the theater, and 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.
Here's to the crazy ones: the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
As the United States boldly stepped forward in the glorious light provided by its new constitution in 1787, the nations of the earth were in awe of the newfound strength and hope of this free land.
Today, the nation stands at a crossroads.
A divergence from the original intent put forth in the United States Constitution has brought grave threats to our beloved nation.
A miracle is needed if the United States is to survive.
That miracle is again the pure application of the United States Constitution.
I'm Scott Radley.
In my To Preserve the Nation book and lecture series, I bring forth truths that will help raise up a new generation of statesmen like those noble Americans who founded this land.
Vigorous application of these principles will invigorate and restore the nation, and we may become again the freest, most prosperous, most respected, and happiest nation on earth.
Visit 2PreserveTheNation.com to begin that restoration.

And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody, welcome back.
Picking up exactly where we left off with Sam Bushman, owner of Liberty News Radio Network and host of the Outstanding Liberty Roundtable program, which you can catch every week day right here on the network, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Central Time.
Sam was a featured speaker at this amazing confab of sheriffs and not just sheriffs.
Michael Bednerick, people may remember, a former presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, and many others.
When you're talking about the sheriffs, and the reason why I think this is such a great event, not the least of which being that so much great information was shared and spread.
But, you know, a sheriff is the highest elected official in any given county.
That's the guy you want on your side.
If you can pick one guy in any county to be on your side, it's not the mayor.
It's the sheriff.
And so you're there with legends like Joe Orpeo, who Sam had the opportunity he was sharing with me during one of the breaks earlier to get to know behind the scenes at pretty great length.
And you got sheriffs like that, dozens of other sheriffs coming and learning and getting on the right track.
Folks, this is a very big occurrence.
Oh, yes, it was huge.
So the sheriff that I mentioned from Indiana that did this just told the federal government to fly a kite.
They threatened to arrest him.
He laughed at him and said, you're crazy.
Who do you think you are?
There's a jurisdictional issue you seem to be overlooking here.
And if you guys want to work together, I'm more than willing to, but you act belligerent and I'm not going to tolerate that behavior, especially against my citizens.
I'm going to interpose or be, you know, interposition here, and I'm going to stand between you.
I'm going to stop you from treating my people like that.
You want to sit down peacefully and we'll talk about it and coordinate?
Okay, let's do it.
At first, they were belligerent.
Then he schooled them.
They tried to call for his attorney.
He said, what are you talking about?
The attorney works for me, not the other way around.
Who do you think you are?
And then they said, can we please sit down and talk?
And he said, sure.
Bottom line is, then what happened is they never sat down to talk because the sheriff had the citizen call him.
And the citizen said, I got a letter.
Do you want to read it?
He said, absolutely.
I'll be over.
He went and read the letter and the government said, the federal government said, we've decided this issue is not a significant issue to pursue.
It just goes to show, folks, you stand your ground, you show a little bit of that same backbone that men like Andrew Jackson had, and good things can happen.
Not all is lost.
And again, the point I want to drive home here is that you have this great gathering of sheriffs and elected leaders, ladies and gentlemen.
It'd be one thing if it was just people like me and Sam there.
And that would be certainly good enough and certainly worthy enough of us to put a little faith and stock in.
But when you're talking about sheriffs coming in and embracing this message of constitutional liberty, this is great.
And you already saw what one sheriff had the power to do there with the federal government.
This is highly encouraging to say the least.
And I wanted to make a point.
If we did one thing tonight, I wanted to be sure to get Sam on after a little bit of the word of this spread to me a few days ago to give you a quick synopsis of what took place there, Sam.
All right, now let me tell you the sheriff's name because people need to know who he is.
He's willing to go public with what he's doing and everything else.
His name is Sheriff Brad Rogers.
Brad Rogers.
Brad Rogers ran on a constitutional ticket.
His opposition didn't know how to deal with him.
He won, and he's been a constitutional sheriff from the get-go.
And I'm telling you, he's not afraid of the feds.
He says, I'll respect them and deal with them if they obey the law.
But if they're not going to obey the law, I'm not going to tolerate their abuses.
And I'm not going to tolerate any abuse of anybody who's disobeying the law.
We will protect our citizens' life, liberty, and property.
He's very, very appropriate and direct.
There was another sheriff by the name of John Lopian.
John Lope is in Oregon.
And he did a tremendous job standing up as well, saying, Hey, I blatantly believe they got a conspiracy to bankrupt my county.
He told all 100-plus sheriffs this, flat out on the stage and said, Listen, this isn't going to happen in my county.
We're not doing that.
They're not going to go down that road.
I will expose them.
I will hold them accountable.
And I will demand that they obey the law as well.
John Lopez, standing up in Oregon, there's a third sheriff that said, You know what?
I heard you constitutional guys tell us that checkpoints were unconstitutional.
Now, I don't remember this sheriff's name offhand.
I'll have to hunt it down.
But he says, You know what?
I believed in checkpoints.
I'm just kind of like the federal government says to do them.
We've got to stop bad guys.
And I did them and ignored you guys.
But he said, You know what?
Believe it or not, I was driving with my family on holiday, and I was in somebody else's county, not my own, so I had no jurisdictional authority.
I was just Joe Blow like y'all.
And he said, You know what?
They had a checkpoint.
And I got to that checkpoint, and they treated me and my family like criminals.
And right then and there, I decided we're not doing checkpoints in my county anymore.
So these unconstitutional checkpoints in this sheriff's county, gone, none.
And he told about the story how the opposition wound up to go against him and how he just simply stood his ground and he's not doing checkpoints in his county.
And he says he's now set the stage to where even if another sheriff replaces him at next election time, he says they will have a tough roto-hoe to move in with unconstitutional checkpoints in his county.
And he encouraged all other sheriffs to really strongly consider the reality that checkpoints are unconstitutional.
They violate citizens' rights.
This sheriff, currently elected, who does not do checkpoints in his county, told all 100 sheriffs about the realities of his stance, his fight, how he got to his understanding about the Constitution and the protection of rights.
It was just, I'm telling you, man, the crowd was just going, yeah.
And it was a big crowd.
Yes, sir, because there was a lot of people there, not just sheriffs.
There was media people.
There was county commissioners.
There was all kinds of people.
And folks, you know, obviously, this in and of itself doesn't turn the rudder of the country.
You know, it's not all going to change overnight.
But you always have to be looking for things, little pockets of constitutional resistance, if you will.
This is, again, I don't think I can overexaggerate the importance of a meeting like this.
And we're thankful for Sam for not only going there, but obviously he was a featured speaker there, one of the main attractions, but for coming on the night.
I'll tell you, Sam, we're abusing your talents, you know, having you on every week here.
We're going to have to put you on the payroll here.
It looks like.
Well, here's what Sheriff Richard Mack told me.
He said, Sam, you're doing such a great job.
I'm doubling your salary.
And since I'm a volunteer, you know, he doubled my salary, which I got nothing.
But you know what I got?
I got the satisfaction of rubbing shoulders with some of these people.
I got the satisfaction of telling the tale of liberty everywhere I go.
I got the satisfaction of just beholding these historical events unfold.
And I'm telling you, it was tremendous.
Now, we've got video of the whole thing, and the videographers and stuff like that are working on things now.
If you keep an eye on countysheriffproject.org, there will be videos coming, and you'll be able to see the sheriffs tell the tales that I'm telling you in their own words.
You'll watch them stand up there and tell it.
Some of them have slideshows showing the different issues in their county.
So you see the sheriff, you see his slideshow and his whole presentation.
I'm telling you, it is tremendous.
I don't want to sound overzealous and say people like Joe Arpeo and Richard Mack are modern day Andrew Jacksons, but folks, Joe Arpeo and Richard Mack are modern day Andrew Jacksons and I don't think that's putting uh I don't think that's I don't think that's hyperbole.
I think that's a pretty accurate assessment.
You're talking about sheriffs and no one has been vilified.
You think I get vilified a lot in the media.
Hey, I'm nothing compared to Joe Arpeo.
I mean, this guy, 80 years old, you know, still out there doing the job and he is absolutely savaged by the media all the time for his America First Day and on Immigration and any other thing, a number of things that he does that defies political correctness.
True modern day hero.
Sam, I know we got a minute and really quick, I just want to say that me and Richard Mack also met with the Las Vegas Occupy protesters and they put up a video about our interaction with them as well, which is kind of interesting.
Go search for it on the internet.
I also want to say Joe Arpaio brought a pair of his pink underwear, man.
And Joe Arpaio signed the pink underwear and so did Richard's Mack and they auctioned it off and raised $500 towards the next Constitutional Sheriff event.
And if people don't know what the pink underwear is all about, he makes his inmates in his county lockups wear these, right?
He does and then he feeds them bologna sandwiches.
Hey, you know, again, folks, just read about Joe Arpeo.
One more bit of, I guess this is kind of good news, not as good as what we just talked about.
One of Sam's, Sam's out there at the Liberty News Radio Network in Utah tonight, neighboring state, Nevada voting.
Ron Paul was picked to come in last there.
It looks like he's in second place right now.
You know what?
The last pick is nothing but a media manipulation tool anyway.
We all knew he'd do better than that.
Santorum and Gingrich already wrote off the state, so that's interesting.
It was all game playing, and he will take second.
And he's going to do better than he did in 2008 when he also finished second.
All right, folks, Sam Bushman, LibertyRoundtable.com.
I'll be back with more right after this.

For too long now, those whose ancestors carved from a vast wilderness an awe-inspiring extension of Western civilization have been without any semblance of political representation.
Abandoned by the political establishment, we now face the prospect of losing our national identity, culture, and our way of life.
But there is hope.
There is still time to right these wrongs.
And there is a vehicle to organize our people into a force capable of reclaiming America's destiny.
The American third position is that vehicle.
It's a political party for our people, led by extraordinary patriots like Bill Johnson, Kevin McDonald, and myself, James Edwards.
Our ancestors from the gates of Vienna to the sands of Iwo Jima sacrificed their all in order to secure Providence's most precious gift, freedom.
Now it's our turn.

All right, everybody.
Another fast and furious night in the Political Cess Poll radio program.
I look, if there was a video camera on me right now, it looks like I've just got done with a grueling.
How long have we been on the air?
An hour and a half workout.
I'm already dripping with sweat.
It's hot in the studio.
It's always hot in here.
It is always hot in here.
The lights, it's like a TV studio in here with these oppressive 2 million watt light bulbs they've got in the roof.
I don't know what's going on, but anyway, it's hot.
It's intense.
We're enthusiastic about our work.
Want to thank Sam Bushman, of course, for his contributions to the program tonight.
Such a joy and an honor to be able to work with Sam.
Want to again mention his radio program that you can listen to every Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Central Time, the Liberty Roundtable radio show at LibertyRoundtable.com.
All right, we've got a lot of stuff to cover.
We're over the halfway point of the show.
We've got to get back on it.
Again, folks, traffic at our website continues to increase.
We continue to reach a growing audience week after week, month after month, year after year.
Got a lot of interesting and provocative stories there for you.
Quick one I'll just mention, a little update on Haiti.
I'm sure listeners of this show are going to be shocked to find that two years after the earthquake in Haiti and billions of dollars later, it's still in shambles.
It looks no different than it did the week after the earthquake hit.
We got the video of it here.
I think it's a Fox News panel discussing why Haiti still looks like, well, Haiti.
And the answer is so glaringly obvious, but no one can draw the conclusion.
No one can solve the problem.
They can't find the sum of two plus two.
You know, in this egalitarian age, who knows how many trillions of dollars have been wasted like this?
And as Richard Spencer writes, what he finds in a way, Richard Spencer of Alternative Right, more disturbing is that intelligent grown men will sit around at a table telling one another fairy tales about why, after all this money, Haiti still looks like Haiti.
But we've got it here for you.
You can see what Haiti looks like two years later.
You know, it's interesting.
Someone put a great comment up.
Again, we're really promoting the high quality and intelligent quality of the comments that are left at the bottom of these stories.
Of course, any article that we feature at our website, you can comment on and engage in the discussion with other fellow listeners.
But someone said, you know, you look at Haiti and it's a matter of genetics, like it always is.
You look at Haiti, fertile soil, tropical climate, abundance of seafood, many other natural resources, and it has one of the poorest and lowest standards of living in all of the world.
Then you go to a place like Iceland, which, or Greenland.
It's freezing Arctic weather, barren land for crops, so on and so forth.
So many disadvantages Iceland has.
But Iceland has one of the highest standards in the world of living.
Haiti has everything going for it as far as natural resources.
And, you know, the heyday Haiti had was back in the 17th century when it was run by the French, considered to be a paradise, manufactured or grew most of the world's sugar at that time.
You know, folks, this is, you know, but no one is willing to draw the logical conclusion.
Well, we do it and you do it, and you can check it out at thepoliticalaccessible.org.
Okay, we got a clip ready.
Before we play it, I want to just set the table here.
This is truly a sign of the times.
Barack Obama has officially launched, and I'm not talking about one of his surrogates or a deputy aide that he's a couple of degrees of separation removed from.
No, Barack Obama, the President of the United States himself, has officially launched African Americans for Obama.
So again, Obama himself, on behalf of his reelection campaign, announces the strategy to court black voters, a voting bloc that he heavily secured during his first run in 2008.
He received over 95% of the black vote.
And so you have, naturally, I mean, it should come as no surprise.
It makes sense, right?
He launches African Americans for Obama.
You already know the double standard that I'm racing towards.
Maybe you're thinking, well, you know, come on.
There couldn't be this much of a double standard, could there, James?
Well, listen to it.
Come straight from the horse's mouth.
Quick clip here.
This month we're announcing the 2012 launch of African Americans for Obama.
I don't think there's a better time than African American History Month to consider the tremendous progress we've made through the sacrifices of so many.
Or a better time to commit to meeting the very real challenges we face right now.
Every day, I think of the generations of African American men and women who overcame slavery and oppression, risked their own safety to cast a ballot, even gave up their lives to help build a country that lived up to its founding principles.
their extraordinary hope, their unwavering determination to change this country.
Their efforts made it possible for somebody like me to be here today.
This is another moment.
We've got to decide what kind of country we want to be.
We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, or we can build a nation where everybody gets a fair shot.
Everybody does their fair share, and everybody plays by the same rules.
This campaign is powered by folks at every level, taking ownership where it matters most.
Around the kitchen table, in barbershops and beauty salons, in your faith community, at work or at school.
And of course, in the voting booth this election day.
Because we are greater together than we can ever be on our own.
Visit africanamericans.barackobama.com for more information about all the ways you can get involved from attending HBCU organizing workshops to becoming a congregation captain.
And say you're ready to keep making history.
Thanks, and see you out there.
Okay.
All right, look, if anyone just had dinner and you had to listen to that, I apologize.
I hope we didn't have an accident.
Obviously, some of the things that Barack Obama said there were rooted in fantasy.
But overall, I have no problem whatsoever with that message.
And that, again, shouldn't surprise anyone.
I think, as I've always said, as I've always consistently maintained, I think it is perfectly natural and healthy for people like Obama to go after his voting base on racial lines.
I mean, black people vote for Obama.
Why wouldn't he cater to them?
Why wouldn't he pander to them?
It just makes good sense.
So again, I don't have a problem with that.
He should be allowed to do that.
But what about on the other side?
Okay?
What's good for the goose must be good for the gander, right?
So surely the man who it would appear is going to be the GOP nominee, Mitt Romney, surely he must be gearing up to launch European Americans for Mitt, right?
Well, not exactly.
Not exactly.
So on Monday, last Monday, on Fox and Friends, Mitt Romney, this was, I guess, a week before last.
It was the day before the Florida primary, so it would have been Monday before last.
While Barack Obama is announcing the launch of the African Americans for Obama initiative, in preparation for his primary campaign in Florida, Mitt Romney says, I wish I could claim that I were Hispanic.
I wish I could claim that I'm Hispanic.
That's what he said.
Are there more whites in Florida or are there more Hispanics?
Believe it or not, even in Florida, yes, many, many, many more times more whites.
Obama blatantly panders along racial lines while the white candidate reduces himself to this.
And yes, we're not going to play this clip, but we do have it there for you.
We have the video clip of Mitt Romney saying that he wishes he was Hispanic.
He wishes he was Hispanic.
You know, why not try and cater to the group of people that represent the actual voting pace of the Republican Party?
Or as Pat Buchanan once said, and I think it was his first appearance on this show back in 2006, the Republicans are going to have to go hunting where the ducks are.
And in the context of that quote that Pat made on the show, we were talking about, listen, white people vote Republicans.
Hispanics vote Democrats.
Blacks vote Democrats.
Be much easier and much more prudent for Republicans to seek to increase their share of the white vote than go after the minority votes.
Blacks represent about 12% of the country, Hispanics more than that, but whites are still the lion's share.
But that would be racist for them to do exactly what Obama is doing.
We're going to take a break, folks.
We've got another interesting clip to play for you in just a moment.
Stay tuned.

And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, quickly wrapping this up.
Again, Barack Obama launches the African Americans for Obama campaign initiative, blatantly pandering along racial lines to his base, which again, I'm all for it.
I think that's fine.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, wishes he was Hispanic.
I mean, that's what he said.
Why would it be so bad for a white guy to say, listen, I don't seek to displace or disenfranchise anyone, but just like Obama is looking after the best interest of his voting base, his people, his family, I'm going to look after the best interests at ours, not at the expense of anyone else, but for the benefit of the people who support me.
What would be wrong with that?
I mean, that's all we do on this radio program.
We don't make any bones about it.
You know, listen, we're paleoconservatives, we're constitutionalists, but yes, we are here to serve as a voice for white Americans.
We are a radio voice for white Americans.
Yes, we have Jewish listeners.
Yes, we have black listeners.
Granted, not many, a very small minority, but this show, you know, we will welcome and enjoy the support and be appreciative of the support of any American who can agree with our message.
But we're not going to pander to them at the expense of our base.
We know who our base is.
Our base is the people that we want to go out and fight on the behalf of.
If other people embrace what we have to say, great.
Welcome aboard.
Glad to have you.
But this is a voice for white Americans, a political voice for white Americans on the radio.
Barack Obama says it, then Mitt Romney, he wishes he was Hispanic.
I guess better to treat white voters like stepchildren than to take their support for granted, which unfortunately they'll ignorantly give.
I don't know about Mitt Romney, but I'm proud to be what I am.
I am proud of my cultural heritage.
I don't have to hate myself and my ancestors in order to be a good person.
What about you?
That's the thing.
If you're white and you're in media or you're in politics, you have to either be self-loathing or at the very least apologetic, or you're going to get denounced as a racist.
And real quick about African Americans for Obama, it's not Black History Month anymore.
I found this out this week, too.
It's African American History Month.
And this, of course, of course, you don't have European American History Month.
Not that I'm jealous, but nevertheless, another classic double standard.
But this is, again, something that's celebrated nationwide.
The federal government has even gotten in on the act.
I don't know the exact URL, the exact link.
You can easily find it, I'm sure.
But it's a .gov link, meaning it's officially sanctioned by the federal government.
And I believe it's something along the lines of AfricanAmericanHistoryMonth.gov.
AfricanAmericanHistoryMonth.gov.
And the first thing you see when you go there, front and center, is an article about what?
Accomplishments that blacks have done, things that blacks can take pride in.
You know, I don't begrudge them that.
That would be great if that's what it was.
But no, it's a big article about how Thomas Jefferson was a slaveholder.
What does that have to do about anything in the context of celebrating your cultural heritage if you're black?
You know, you go to this officially government-sanctioned website, and it's supposed to be celebrating their achievements, and the first thing you read is about Thomas Jefferson being a slave owner.
What does that have to do?
Why is that?
That has nothing to do with what's that have to do with anything.
But again, if you think about it, it's perfectly appropriate because all this is, it's all here to instill white guilt, to make you want to hate yourself, to be ashamed.
That's exactly what this big state-sponsored initiative in Minnesota is doing, Minnesota, where it's like 103% white up there.
There's some anti-white group that has placed billboards in Minnesota warning people about white privilege.
Of course, these very same people claim that race doesn't even exist, that it's just a social construct, but somehow the race that does not exist is responsible for all wicked things.
I mean, race exists when blacks achieve something or when whites do something bad.
Otherwise, it's a social construct.
But they've got these billboards all over Minnesota now.
They read, it's hard to see racism when you're white.
Leaders from around the Twin Cities area are taking a stand against racism, you see, the story reads.
They've collaborated in a unique way to launch public awareness about white privilege.
It's called the Unfair Campaign, and the goal is to fight racism.
The theme is based on the fact that the organizers and some people get unfair advantages based on their skin color and unfair disadvantages as well.
Yeah, no, they're right about that.
There are unfair advantages that people get based upon the color of their skin.
It's called affirmative action.
It's called quotas.
It's called set-aside.
It's not equal opportunity for all of special privileges for none.
That's the America we'd like to see.
No, you certainly have anti-white race-based preferences.
So this group is hoping to spread the message that it's hard to see racism if you're white.
The message is on billboards all around Minnesota.
I believe they're very prominent in Duluth, Minnesota.
There are also posters around town in various places of business.
The goal, they say, is to break the silence of racism, taking accountability for the problem and building a base of white allies to help eliminate racism.
People of color at the kickoff said it's time for a change and that they hope people will start to see this as an opportunity to speak out against racism.
Yeah, if there's one thing we haven't seen any of in the past several decades, it's people condemning whites for racism.
I mean, you just never see that.
You never see that, right?
Where do I even start with something like this?
Another very popular article at our website this week.
There is an actually, we have for you a clip from the local news, the local Fox affiliate in Duluth, Minnesota, talking about this story.
Let's play that now first.
It's an awareness campaign.
You may have noticed Duluth's newest campaign, fighting against racism with billboards downtown and off the freeway.
Race is one of the most difficult issues to have honest conversations about.
Mayor Don Ness endorsing the campaign, saying he knew the way the message is told would generate some reaction.
Yes, it is kind of bringing forward this issue in a way that may make people uncomfortable.
But hopefully, the goal is not to simply place blame on the white.
But not all people agree the campaign is blame-free, as it shows the faces of people with white skin detailing what advantages they may have because of it.
I think it is a wrong way.
They mean right away because we're white, we're racist.
You're having people think, because you're white, you don't know anything about racism.
But some look at the posters with a different perspective, saying it confronts an uncomfortable situation head-on.
It's about time this happened, honestly.
It does not get talked about.
And maybe this will make people start talking about it more and make it like more jobs for us, more opportunities for blacks, you know?
Mayor Don Ness saying he hopes the campaign starts a discussion that would eventually bring the 90% of Caucasians in this city to understand a bit more about the 10%.
race becomes a problem for anybody that's in our community it's it's our problem and we have a role in addressing okay You heard it.
That was the official Fox report on this matter.
To their credit, there are actually some indignant white people up there in Minnesota that said, hey, what is this about?
Just because I was born white means that I'm a racist?
Well, yeah, that's exactly what they're saying.
That's exactly what they mean.
You know, used to, the classic definition of racist was an irrational hatred towards people of another race, people that go out and were violent against these people.
I mean, that's what I would claim to be true racism.
But now, as we've said so many times on this radio program, the modern day definition of racist, if boiled down to the lowest common denominator, is simply a white person.
All white people are racist all the time, no matter what they do.
I mean, this is sick.
This is sick that an organization can exist if there is anything that is fostering ill will between the races, it's initiatives like this.
Let me put it that way.
You know, there would be a lot less racial tension if there weren't these anti-white groups always going around and stirring up specters of white privilege and white racism.
Check it out.
Check it out.
Minnesota Billboard's Target White Racism is the title.
Ramsey Paul, who was our guest last week, by the way, as you know, great interview with Ramsey Paul last week, did an incredible response to this unfair campaign.
And we have his video reply to the official video at thepolitical SuccessPool.org.
Encourage you to check it out.
We've got less than a minute before we go to break and then get into the third hour.
I'm going to save this story for later.
A synagogue in California is attempting to shake down Mel Gibson.
This was even reported on by TMC, and even TMC made a parody of it.
We'll get to that towards the end of the third hour, so stay tuned.
When we come back, ladies and gentlemen, Merlin Miller is going to be our guest again.
You remember him as being an award-winning film director who has worked with quite a few Hollywood heavyweights, Merlin Miller, on tonight, not to talk about his films.
No, he's making a campaign stop tonight.
That's right, my friends.
Merlin Miller is the newly branded presidential nominee of the American Third Position Party.
He's running for president, third party.
We're going to talk to him about his aspirations.
TPC continues right after this.
Stay tuned.
Your way right after these messages because in sun and it's been the ruin of many of our poor boys and God, I know I'm one.
