Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populous conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host for tonight, James Edwards.
All right, welcome everybody to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
It's Saturday, March the 17th.
And this is normally the part of the show when I tell you that we're coming to you live tonight from our flagship radio station, AM 1380 WLRM Radio, but that's not the case tonight.
We're certainly coming to you live.
That much is for sure.
But tonight's going to be an experiment in talk radio production.
I am sitting at the conference center near Nashville, Tennessee, where the American Renaissance meeting is being held.
I spoke to the audience today.
So I'm in a hotel room overlooking a beautiful lake in a nice scenic wooded area about 40 minutes outside of Nashville.
Keith Alexander was here also earlier in the day, although he's driving back to Memphis right now where he joins us via a cell phone.
So we are both called into the studio tonight, me from the hotel room, Keith from the cell phone as he drives, and we're going to try to host the first hour of the show this way.
The people at the network, the network production crew is patching us all in and through, and the audio clarity might not be as good as you're used to.
We'll be back in the studio next week, but I tell you, I would sacrifice a little audio clarity to be able to bring you this real-time update from the scene here in Nashville.
And what a scene it's been, Keith.
You know, Frankie Valley has a song for every occasion.
His song for today would be, Oh, What a Night.
And it's been a good one, Keith.
What'd you think of it so far?
I think it's great.
I enjoyed and enjoyed the top quality speakers that we had there.
Jared Taylor, of course, being first and foremost among those.
He's really an asset, a brilliant man.
And, of course, we've met so many of the other stalwart names in paleoconservatism.
We've met, well, you know, just I saw Paul Fromm there.
I saw, I'm trying to think of, well, Sam Dixon, of course, just great people, great minds.
It's just incredible how high a caliber of intellect is drawn to this movement that has been so marginalized in the eyes of mainstream media.
I think we do really get the best in Bridge.
No, we do, Keith.
And I'll tell you, you know, I've got the manifest right here in front of me in terms of the speakers.
Of course, I was one of them this afternoon.
Jared Taylor, Alex Kurtig.
You know, many of the speakers here have been guests on the Political Cessible Radio Program, Merlin Miller of the American Third Position, Rowan Quintana.
Tomorrow you will have Dr. David Yagley speaking to the crowd.
Of course, the great American Indian who has taken up the white man's cause, as Jared put it yesterday, Sam Dixon, the incomparable Sam Dixon, and so many others.
And that's just the speakers or a handful of them.
And of course, the real treasure of this conference has been the audience itself.
And it is a packed house.
I'm telling you, it is standing room only in the state-of-the-art ballroom at the state park, nestled in the woods.
It's just a really picturesque scene.
I don't think it could have gone any better.
Now, I got up here early yesterday afternoon.
The conference actually started last night and then it ran all day today.
It's actually still going on.
The conference doesn't end until about 10 o'clock tonight.
We're here doing our bit on the radio.
I'm actually missing one of the keynote speakers and I'm missing the banquet and worst of all, I'm missing the cash bar.
But, you know, work must intrude.
We've got to bring our audience to SCOOP here live from the scene.
Everyone else is still congregated in the ballroom.
But we're here doing the radio program.
And of course, the conference concludes tomorrow.
But again, Keith, as I was saying, the real treasure has been those in attendance, not the speakers.
They've been good.
But the high quality and caliber of the people. that we've been able to talk to, people that have come up to us, fans of the show, people who appreciate and respect our work.
I know, Keith, because of your work schedule, you couldn't come up here until today, and you came up for a few hours, and you're already back on the three-hour road trip back to Memphis.
But you were like Brayer Rabbit in the Briar Patch, my friend.
I mean, so many people coming up and gladhanding you, patting you on the back.
What was it like to meet the people who benefit from our struggle here at the efforts that we put forth to bring the radio show?
What was it like to meet so many of those people this afternoon for you?
Well, I tell you, it's humbling because these people are, you know, as smart, if not smarter, than the featured speakers.
We have just an incredible audience.
I'm saying a lot.
I mean, that's not to diminish the speakers.
That's just saying what the caliber of the audience is.
Yeah, well, I mean, the people in the audience, there are people in there as smart as the smartest people that are in any movement or anywhere.
These are people that, quite frankly, in addition to being smart, have the courage to, you know, stick their necks out and say things that are contrary to, you know, the prevailing orthodoxies in thought in America and Europe today.
And getting to meet these people, you know, they're just so many of them that are stars on our blog role, that are, you know, there's just so much talent out there.
And meeting these people is a humbling experience that these people appreciate us and appreciate what we do when they can obviously do the same thing if circumstances were a bit different and they had the access that we do to the media.
But it's, you know, it's heartening because you realize there are so many people who think like us.
And let me just say this, too.
The Amran conference had been canceled by Leslie's thugs the last two years.
Now they finally relocated it back down to the, or relocated to the heart of Red State America, where, quite frankly, freedom still survives.
It may be hanging on by a fingernail, but we still have the freedom to assemble.
We still have the freedom to speak here in Red State America.
God bless America.
Amen to that, Keith.
And again, just other people in the crowd off the top of my head.
Of course, Richard Spencer was here, someone we have a great deal of respect for and work closely with.
But it's just really, again, folks, if you haven't had the opportunity to be here and experience this, we're going to try to paint a verbal picture for you to the best of our ability, but words truly fall short.
I mean, there's really no way for us to tell you.
You'd have to experience it for yourself, that feeling of just being in good company of like-minded people.
And, you know, I'm not talking about kooky people.
I'm talking about these are very accomplished academics, great working-class people here.
Many of them, everybody is salt of the earth.
There you go.
We have a coat and tie crowd, at least for the men.
You know, that's required.
But, you know, it's obvious that they come from all walks of life, from, you know, everything from, you know, working class up to the upper class.
These people are all totally souls of the earth people that are, you know, it's like what they said the original nations were.
When we get together like this, everybody's equal and everybody is valued.
And quite frankly, everybody has a lot to offer.
Can you mention some of those people, Keith?
Our friend Gerald from the Political Festival blog, you know, one of our regular contributors there.
And then in the chat room, we met V Courtney from Alabama, who was here in the attendance today.
And of course, people who regularly attend our virtual fan party hosted by the Council of Conservative Citizens will know these names.
And it's great to be able to see them here at the conference.
Jimmy from Dallas, Texas, a great guy.
Yeah, so many.
And by the way, doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs, accountants, architects.
Hey, we got to take a break, Keith, but I do want to say, stay tuned for much, much more on-the-ground reporting from Amran.
And if you're not in the aforementioned CFCC chat, even though we can't be there tonight because we don't have computer access, it is going on right now.
Go log in at cfcc.org.
We'll be back right after this.
America has lost her way, lost her mourning, forgotten her direction.
What once protected us from leftist theories and cloud-borne wish lists of egalitarian quacks and crackpots was that our principles and values were grounded on experience.
What actually worked as settlers built new political societies from scratch, from the ground up, America was based on personal responsibility, our right to manage our own affairs without the dictation of central planners or a distant bureaucracy.
But we're losing that foundation.
We're losing our liberty.
At www.truthbasedelogic.com, we offer arguments for which the enemies of traditional America have no answers.
TruthBasedLogic.com exists to help us better understand, defend, and restore the heritage we are losing.
Imagine a school where faith and integrity are at its center, where heritage and responsibility instill character, where educating both hearts and minds brings about academic excellence.
There is a school in American Fork where character and embracing the providence of a living God are fundamental.
Where students' national test scores average near the 90th percentile.
Based on LDS principles and a love of country, now in our 39th year, American Heritage School is accepting fall enrollment for kindergarten through high school.
What would you do for your child?
Give them an education that will prepare them for life.
Located east of the temple in American Fork, American Heritage School is a remarkable and affordable alternative.

And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
All right, welcome back to the radio program, everyone.
Again, I'm coming to you live this evening from my hotel room at Montgomery Bell State Park, just outside of Nashville, sitting in this real rustic, picturesque, outdoor setting.
Every one of the hotel room here overlooks just a magnificent lake.
I'm looking out my window of the hotel right now.
I see geese walking by and a peking duck.
And it's just, it's a great atmosphere for a family reunion.
And I think that more than anything is what this weekend has felt like to me.
And I think probably to you, Keith, as well, even though we're dealing in some cases with people that we've never had the privilege or pleasure of meeting before.
They come up to you and they talk about their favorite show and how your work has impacted them.
And it certainly feels like you've known them forever.
I mean, with the first handshake, it's an instant rapport, an instant bond.
And again, folks, it's just hard to fully convey to you what's going on here.
Real family-like atmosphere, though, you know, and the people coming up, and you sign a few autographs, you take a few pictures.
I brought my family here because I knew it would kind of be in a nice setting.
And there's this bridge off the fourth floor that you can walk across and take a look at the surrounding area.
And I was walking out there with the family and getting the cat calls from people out there on their balconies.
Hey, James Edwards, I'd love to talk.
And racism, schmazism, go, Jay.
You know, just hearing this stuff, thank God that that stuff's worth more than money because we certainly don't make money here.
But I wouldn't trade that for any amount of money.
And that's all we could ever want.
You do your duty, Keith, and you hope to have it appreciated.
That's payment enough.
Yeah, I tell you, it's such an ideal, it's such a bucolic setting.
It is really, you know, it's a trite phrase, but it really does describe that place up there.
It's God's country.
That's where you are.
You're out here at the beautiful outdoors of middle America, Red State America.
And with all of these good people from all over, even people from overseas were here.
And, you know, there's an instant connection.
It is wonderful to talk to people that are in the know that have thought about these issues and they've basically come down on the same side of things that you have.
And these are soulmates.
These are our kith and kin in a very important way.
And we just, you know, if you've never been to one of these conferences, let me tell you that you need to go because I'm sure we've all had the experience of going to like a vocational conference, you know, some group we work for or some professional conference or whatever.
And you're somewhat embarrassed by, you know, the level of the attendees.
It's just the opposite at one of these conferences.
This is just the Amarang conference in particular just brings out the best of the best.
And I would, you know, recommend anyone that can scratch together the money to try to do it because this is, first of all, first and foremost, very important work that's being done here.
And we need to buck each other up for it because it is going to be a stroke.
And, you know, we're coming down to more and more dire times with every passing day.
So, you know, this is the type of support group that you need.
Well, it is, and they're here en masse.
And, you know, so many of the speakers, myself, Jared Taylor, you know, great guys.
And they've been so unfairly characterized by the media and by our detractors.
And for that reason and that reason alone, you know, use the brain that God gave you.
Use the common sense that God gave you and come here if you're curious about the work of not just me and Keith and the political festival.
And of course, we were featured here this weekend and have been featured.
Some of the other speakers like Jared, you know, come here and meet us in person.
And then when you meet us in person, you meet any of the people here.
And then you'll say, these are the guys that I've read all of these nasty things about.
And it will defy belief.
And I spoke about that a little bit.
You know, it's the nicest group of people that you could want to see.
And furthermore, the talent and the intelligence, people like Jared Taylor, yourself, David Yeagley, Sam Dixon, all of these people that are here, they are so far superior to people like Brian Williams or Soul Dad O'Brien that are actually making big money.
Al Sharpton, for example, is making big money at MSNBC.
And Al Sharpton doesn't have a thimble full of the talent that you, Jared, Sam Dixon, David Yeagley, you just name them all as you go through there.
We've got, you know, believe me, the IQ zoo is on our side of the equation.
And again, ladies and gentlemen, I want to interject this.
Again, if the audio quality is a little bit below what you're used to, well, obviously, it's because we normally come to you live from the studio.
We've got all the official heavy-duty professional radio broadcasting equipment there and doing it over cell phones and hotel room landlines.
Not going to be as good, but again, I wouldn't trade that because to be at home would put me in a place that I don't want to be tonight because I want to be right here and there's no place I would rather be.
And again, Keith made a very big sacrifice today, coming up here basically just for lunch and to meet a few of the supporters.
I gave Keith a call last night.
A lot of us were sitting around after last night's session ended and I kept having person after person after person come up and ask about Keith and some of the other co-hosts on the radio program and they said, well, are any of them coming?
Is there any chance we could talk through this?
Somebody said, well, I'll try to give Keith a call.
And I gave Keith a call and the phone was passed around for about 20 minutes.
And what were some of the things people were saying to you last night on the phone in advance of your drive up here today, Keith?
Well, they were congratulating us on the quality of the show, congratulating us about the quality of the insights, making insights of their own.
It was a very stimulating conversation, just like the conversation was stimulating today over lunch and also out in the halls.
And of course, the presentations were flawless.
And, you know, I just compare that to what you hear on, you know, for example, tune in tomorrow to meet the press or something like that.
I guarantee you, that's not going to be half as good, not even a fourth as good as what you would be treated to if you went to one of these conferences like the Amran conference.
Don't take our word for it, ladies and gentlemen.
As they do every year, Jared Taylor and his impeccable staff here at American Renaissance has filmed and are filming.
Of course, as I say, the conference is still going on right now as we present this broadcast to you live.
But they're all going to be available on DVD in fairly short order.
So if you were not able to be here live, if you were not able to be here in person, these speeches that we've been offering effusive praise for will be available to you, all of them in their entirety on DVD.
And, you know, we might make that the incentive of our next political festival fundraiser this summer.
In fact, let me ask you to do this right now.
Pick me up a bunch of those DVDs that they have out there because I didn't have a chance to get them, but I need them, man.
I tell you, I will pop those in the car CD player and live happily ever after.
All there, every Amarin conference dating back to 1994, you know, keep in mind back in those days, C-SPAN would come and cover all the conferences.
They were always held in the Washington, D.C. area.
And all the way from the very beginning in 1994 through the most recent Amerin conference, they're all on tape and DVD here.
And again, this one will be as well.
So we're going to continue to provide coverage over the course of the night about what we've seen.
And we're going to talk to some other people.
My original original vision was to bring some of the speakers on, but since they are all tied up in session right now, that might be a little bit hard.
But we're going to do the best we can.
And we're going to continue to talk about this.
A lot of aspects to cover here.
We're just beginning to scratch the tip of the iceberg.
Of course, we're going to get into some other news as well later on in the program.
But for all intents and purposes, tonight's live broadcast from the American Renaissance Conference is, hence, going to be primarily about what we've seen and done so far.
And I want to remind everybody once again as we begin to inch closer to our next commercial break.
To the best of my knowledge, the Council of Conservative Citizens Political Successful Online Chat Virtual Fan Party is going on right now.
So if you're not here and you're listening to me as you normally would, log in.
They're there and join the company.
Enjoy the fellowship there online.
And as good as that is, though, really not a drop in the bucket to being here live.
And thankfully, you know, you couldn't have a better group of friends, people.
I can tell you that from getting those people.
Keith, hang on one second, buddy.
We're going to come back on that thought.
I was going to say another conference is coming up in July, the CFCC conference.
We'll talk about that after the break.
Informing citizens.
Pursuing liberty.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
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.

We gotta get it out!
All right, everybody, welcome back.
Very fun, very experimental broadcast of the political festival tonight as we come live.
We've called in from the hotel room before, but never had that going on while another co-host was driving in a car on his way back to Memphis.
This is something else.
But what I was saying before the commercial break, we've been going on and on, and rightfully so, about how great it is and how we wish everybody could have been here.
Well, if you didn't get a chance to come here, don't worry.
This was the point I was making before the break.
The Council of Conservative Citizens Conference is coming up.
The national convention where you have equally good speakers, equally fine fellowship, is coming up the first week of July, I believe it is, right here in Nashville, Tennessee.
So it seems like all roads, they say all roads lead to Rome.
All roads of paleoconservative political activism seem to be leading to Nashville these days.
Here we are with the American Renaissance Conference here.
In July, the Council of Conservative Citizens will be holding their national conference here.
And I believe next month, the Constitution Party is going to be holding its convention here in Nashville.
So Nashville is where it's happening, Keith.
Well, I've heard that Nashville is the center of the world.
And apparently, the evidence of that is that when you get up on the very top of the tallest building in Nashville, you can see an equal distance in every direction.
But it really is.
It's the center of our world.
And quite frankly, it's, you know, you can say that Chevy was the heartbeat of America.
I think Nashville is the heartbeat of America.
This is where you can still go and depend upon receiving good old southern hospitality.
I'd like to talk to Jared and have him compare the experience that he had here to the experience he's had the last two years trying to hold his conference in bastions of Blue State America.
Respectively, and Keith brings up another point I want to make.
I have never been to a place, I've never been treated badly anywhere with regards to the staff, but I've never been to a place.
You know, the staff here at this state park, they're almost just like the attendees of the conference.
It's as though they're not strangers.
I mean, everybody that's come up and the wait staff and the housekeeping staff, you know, they just come up and start talking to you like they know you.
And I love that.
That's a very southern trait.
That's the way I grew up.
That's the way I was raised.
And that's something that's uniquely southern.
Speaking of the Council of Conservative Citizens, you know, Keith, I was talking, they've got that conference coming up in July.
And if you missed this one, we certainly want folks to make their plans now to come back to Nashville then.
But, you know, I brought my family.
So doing the show from my hotel room would have been a very, very bad idea under the circumstances.
But I didn't have to.
Two great members of the council and two longtime friends of this radio program, Mark and Tina from Missouri.
They allowed me to turn their room into my makeshift broadcast studio for tonight.
So they've sacrificed their own room to allow the show to be done tonight in peace and in tranquility without screaming babies and things like that.
But so I want to think, I want to be sure to thank Mark and Tina for offering their room tonight.
That's where I am.
And then speaking of the CSCC, you know, the president of the Council of Conservative Citizens was on hand, Tom Dover, great guy, Ron Garcia.
Wonderful.
He's a wonderful guy and a true southern gentleman in every respect.
I mean, he is smooth as silk, as they say.
Oh, he is.
He is.
You know, from South Carolina, and then Roan Garcia Quintana, he spoke on behalf of the council late this afternoon.
They're all here.
And again, I want to share a quick story.
This is a story that was related to me, and then I want to ask Keith something.
But a lot of people here, I didn't bring my books.
I should have.
In the mad scramble to get out of town, I forgot to bring a load of books up here to sell.
But a lot of people actually had them, and I had a few people come up to me with the book in hand.
They'd already bought it and asked me to sign it.
And I had this one guy tell a very interesting story.
He went to Barnes and Noble to buy racism-smashism.
To his shock and awe, they didn't carry it in stock, but they did say they would order it for him.
And this is the first time I've ever heard of anything like this happening.
But he went up and they said they would order it for him, and they looked it up and they ordered it.
They said it'd be here no later than two weeks, but most likely five days.
So he came back in five days, and it wasn't there yet.
He came back in two weeks, it wasn't there yet.
Came back in a month, and it wasn't there yet.
So he called the manager.
And the manager looked into the computer records and saw that the order was placed at the date and time that the man who bought my book thought it was.
And what happened was, immediately after the order was placed and the man left to go home, the order was canceled.
And the computer record that Barnes and Noble proved this.
And the manager looked into it.
And the clerk who canceled the book order right after the gentleman placed it was aware of our work, obviously opposed it, and took it into his own hands to not let my book reach another customer.
But they got that straightened out.
So they're sabotaged.
The political system was sabotage.
I hope there was firing involved involving that type of suit.
See?
Noble, but eventually the guy got the book.
God bless him.
He stuck with it, and he finally got the book from Barnes and Noble, and then he promised to never go back there again.
But, you know, again, that's the kind of thing we'll have to try.
Noble.
And took his order that night.
He had an earring, you know, very effeminate, long-haired, scraggly, you know, younger guy.
And so what do you expect?
But the fact that he knew enough about our work to not want this guy to get the book shows that our reputation precedes us in many places.
You don't find a lot of metrosexuals at the Amaran conference, do you, James?
It's manly men, I tell you.
It's the kind of way to carve this country from a wilderness.
I mean, it's the kind of people that you'd be proud to call your friends and colleagues, and it's the kind of people that everyone should have a relationship with, whether it's a working relationship or an acquaintance or friendship or all of the above.
But yeah, Keith, as I said, you know, you spent six hours.
I would imagine you're almost back to Memphis now.
Where are you?
Just about.
And let me just tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Every time I go to one of these things, you know, I wish I could stay longer.
It's wonderful that we're getting them here in the heartland of America, where, you know, the confines are friendly as opposed to the, you know, these anti-fa hotbeds that you have up around New York or Washington, D.C., or, you know, the left coast.
This is where the real America still lives, and we're going to keep the home fires burning, and everybody is welcome here.
We, unlike the clerk at the Barnes and Noble's, we don't try to stuff assign anybody's mouth.
Well, that's right.
You know, we let the truth be told and we tell the truth in love.
At least we try to.
And for my part today, you know, as I said, Keith, you've been on the road for nearly six hours in this round trip from Memphis to here and back.
And I think you probably at most maybe spent three hours on the ground here today.
But God knows you didn't miss the beat and you didn't waste a second talking with all these people who were coming up to introduce themselves to you.
But you did have a chance to hear two speeches, mine and Jared Taylor's.
Handicap those speeches for us.
Well, remember, when you start talking about mine, you know, I gave you that money, so be sure to read what I told you to read.
Look, Jared, as usual, just, you know, every, you know, the best thing about both of you, there's no gathering of wool.
There's no stuttering.
There's no stammering.
Everything is totally natural and just high-quality intelligence.
The insights that Jared gave were absolutely wonderful.
You gave a speech on effective advocacy for our people and our cause.
And I've told you, and the thing, you've really become a top-notch public speaker and radio personality.
You are smooth as a peeled onion.
And everything you said resonated with the crowd.
So everything that Jared said.
It's like I said, you cannot go to any conference anywhere and find a higher caliber of speaker and a higher caliber of intelligence and insight than you get at a CFCC conference or at a Council of Conservative Citizens Conference.
Well, Keith, I appreciate that, my friend.
And I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I was really glad and proud that you were able to be there when I was up.
And all those lunches we've had, those weekly lunches going back many years now, certainly paid off.
Yep, I tell you what, it's, you know, I feel like I feel like your daddy in some way.
Listen, you're Uncle Keith for a reason.
And that's what we call Keith around the house.
And it's certainly true.
And a little later on tonight, ladies and gentlemen, in the second hour, I'm actually going to share my speech here over the airwave.
I'm going to try to do my best to give you a pretty accurate portrayal of what I was able to say up there today.
And that's coming up in the second hour.
So if you didn't get a chance to come here and hear the speeches, you're at least going to be able to hear mine as I'm going to follow my notes and recreate that on the air tonight, titled my speech, A Winning Mindset for Effective Advocacy.
And it was delivered today.
And I'm going to share it with you.
And I hope that you'll be able to draw something from it.
That'll be coming up in the second hour tonight.
A very busy show.
We'll get to some other news in the third hour.
But, Keith, I know we have only one more segment with you coming up after this next break.
And I want to shift gears now unless there's anything else you'd like to convey to the listening audience about what you experienced today.
I want to get back to the final word on gun control.
This was a blog entry that you played a big role in, and it was featured at thepoliticalfestival.org, our official internet headquarters, last week.
And it talked about gun right, and it used the classic Western Shane as the parallels or the point of reflection.
We're going to get to that right after this.
Stay tuned, everybody.

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.
Before I forget to do this, I'm actually, I'll tell you what I'm doing right now.
I'll bring you into my lair.
I'm texting Winston Smith, and I'm thanking him for his help.
I was thinking about my speech, and I just shared with everyone that I'm going to be doing a little replay here in the second hour of the talk that I gave here.
And I wanted to thank Winston because he and I batted around a few ideas, and he helped me draft the original text of my remarks today, and I wanted to be sure to thank him for his work on that and out of mind.
Let me mention this.
I heard a lot of people complimenting Winston's work on the CESPO.
You know, the people in attendance at the conference today, and I'd like to pass that on to Winston.
Let me assure him that his contributions are neither overlooked nor unappreciated.
They are, he's one of our all-stars.
The guy from, I believe he said if he's from the hills of Kentucky, and you know who else is from there.
Eddie the Bombardier Miller.
And this guy said, oh, is there any way I can talk to Eddie Miller?
He goes, oh, Eddie is, Eddie's my favorite.
And I had so many people come up and talk to me about Bill Rowland.
And this is just the honest truth.
I mean, I'm not just saying this to try to blow smoke at these guys, but truly everybody got equal play up here.
And of course, as far as Winston's concerned, I mean, God bless him.
He can't hear what you just said, Keith, because of his hearing impairment right now.
So you might have to email that testimony to him.
But everybody up here, I mean, and that just goes to show the attentiveness of the audience.
They know everybody by name.
They know all the hosts.
And Winston obviously hasn't been able to appear with us since he had that accident with his hearing.
And Eddie's on sporadically.
Bill's on a little bit more than that.
And you're on every week, Keith.
But I know everybody.
And it's one thing for somebody to have heard of you.
It's totally something else for them to know so much about you that they can go into a very detailed discussion about your work and the people who make it possible.
So certainly a tip of the hat goes to, of course, the audience that makes our show possible, the network that brings it to them, but to the rest of the staff and crew on our side of the fence, Keith.
You being certainly one of the biggest.
And with that being said, final word on gun control.
I know that was a very important post for you, and it elicited a very favorable reaction from the readers there at thepoliticalfest pool.org.
Why did we put that back up, Keith?
And what was it?
Well, we think the final word on gun control, we've talked about this many times, is a segment from the movie Shane, which at least for my money is the best movie ever made.
I must have watched it about 35 times or more in my lifetime.
I've got all the dialogue down or for the most part.
And in particular on gun control, we have the episode where Joey goes to the barn where Shane stays.
Shane is volunteered to be a farmhand for the Starrett family, basically because he sees they're in trouble.
And little Joey, their son, comes in and there's talk that Shane was probably a gunfighter before and he sees he has a fancy gun and he Joey asked him about the gun and asked him if he can go out there and take a look at it and maybe be shown how to shoot.
Shane and the rest of the family are getting ready for a homesteader 4th of July party.
And what is happening is that Joey is taken out by Shane, and Shane offers, he says, what do you want me to shoot at?
And he tells him that he wants to shoot a little rock.
So he pulls out the gun, deafening blast of the gun, which is very real looking.
If you ever heard a 45 go off, a 45 revolver, you know what I'm talking about.
And of course, he hits the rock every time, and Joey is totally impressed.
He whistles through his teeth and says, gosh, almighty, that is good.
Well, unknown to either Shane or Lil Joey at the time, Marion Starrett, played by Gene Arthur, is Joey's mother in the movie.
And she gives a typical feminine criticism of the gun culture.
She says, we'd all be better off if there weren't any guns at all in the valley.
And she says she doesn't want guns to be part of her boy's future.
And Shane looks at her with total authority and total wisdom and says, a gun is a tool, Marion, no different from an axe or shovel or anything.
A gun is no better or no worse than the man behind it.
Remember that.
Now, that is the final word.
That's what the NRA and the gun owners of America should be running in their advertisements because that tells you the thinking adult approach to guns.
Trying to blame guns for gun violence is absurd.
And this is why if you look back to America's golden age, basically America in the late 40s, early 50s, before the pernicious Brown versus Board Education decision came down.
And it's no accident this movie was made in 53.
It's probably the zenith of American popular culture.
And if you want to, you know, that, for example, is the essence of wisdom on the gun issue, period.
And as Barry Goldwater used to say, it's as simple as that.
Certainly the truth.
Those were the days.
And by the way, I was telling Courtney and her friend Mary at the lunch today that I recommend that anyone who has not watched that movie from beginning to end needs to do that as a priority as soon as they get home because that movie is probably the finest movie ever made, best acted, best scripted, best photography, and it has the best, most wholesome message.
Shane is basically a Christ figure.
He's like a modern rendering of the Sir Galahad bin.
And people need to watch it.
If you want to see a movie that leaves you with a tear in your eye and feeling ennobled, you can't do better than Shane.
It's just that.
And it harkens back to a day when I guess the American culture was at its zenith.
And unfortunately, I was never there to experience this, but then hearing about it and studying it, you know, the 50s certainly seems like an idyllic era.
And probably one day we can reclaim some of America's destiny that's been lost and subverted and taken from us.
But again, Keith, you know, you were here.
You're giving that practical advice, talking about Shane, encouraging people to watch Shane.
Of all the comments that were said to you today, and I know we're going to have another couple of minutes here with you, so I want to circle back to this before we go into the second hour.
What was the most meaningful thing that you had said to you today?
I know one guy came up and shook your hand and said he listens every week and that you are the authority on the civil rights movement.
He's learned so much listening to your dissertations on that.
What was the one thing that someone said to you today that you're going to take home with you and probably remember a little more than most?
Well, you know, I say for every one of them because, you know, that comic you're talking about was by a fellow named Gerald, who apparently is a big fan of ours.
He is a top drawer person in every way.
You can tell that he's a professional or something like this.
And he is just really sharp, really intelligent.
Courtney from Alabama, likewise.
Mary from overseas, likewise.
There's a guy named John, who's the brother of a famous paleoconservative blog site owner.
And I'm not going to mention his name because I really don't have authority to do it.
But he was great.
David Yagley had great insights into America.
And he gives that unique perspective of being an American Indian.
And the people.
He fits in here as well as anyone who, you know, David's been on the show many times.
This is my first time to actually meet him today.
He came up.
There's no handshaking here, at least not when you're around me.
It's all hugs.
I came up and I remember hugging David Yagley.
He's like, are you eating anywhere?
Can I, you know, you come to come eat with me?
And it's just, you know, that's the fraternal bond.
It really, it passes, it passes understanding.
You'd have to be here.
It surpasses understanding, you know, Richard Spencer, a great young talent, just like yourself.
And Richard, you know, Richard did the unthinkable.
The thing seemed to be impossible.
And he had an incredible conference that I also had the privilege of speaking at, the National Policy Institute conference in Washington, D.C.
He had it at the Ronald Reagan building, which is a posh facility in downtown Washington.
Better than that, Richard Spencer, myself, Jared Taylor, all spoke at the National Press Club last year in Washington, D.C.
The renowned National Press Club, Richard Spencer, put that all together.
A great talent that doesn't even begin to cover it.
Yeah, it's a, you know, it's just a cornucopia of talent and intelligence.
And picking one out of the bunch is just like picking, you know, one flower out of a beautiful field because there's, you know, it's just brimming full with intelligence and insight.
It reinstills a sense of hope and that more than anything.
And even us, we're out here.
We're always on the front lines.
It's always a battle.
It's always a struggle.
And you get these things and it's really a recharging of the batteries.
But unlike most people who are here, we do get the audience feedback day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
A lot of people are disconnected from that sort of response.
And so they think many times that they're the only ones.
You come to a place like this and you're among the living again, as Jared says.
And it's, well, I think we've already said it probably too many times, but we're still here.
We're hot.
It's all still simmering there at the surface because we're in the midst of it.
We want to relay that to the best of our ability to the audience.
God bless you, Keith.
Thanks for coming up, buddy.
Talk to you when I get back in town tomorrow night.
And for the rest of you, still two more hours to come.
Don't go anywhere.
I'll be back with more in just a minute.
Come on.
Okay.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
And Harv thought he had a weed eager loose and disproved the blues.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the squirrel ran out of his britches' leg unobserved to the other side of the room.
