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.
Last night of Confederate History Month 2012, we're going to try to open up the hour with a, as we've been doing each week this month with a rendition of Dixie or some other closely acquainted southern song.
Do we have that clip ready?
And here it is.
I wish I was in the land of cotton.
Old times there are not forgotten.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born, early on one frosty morning.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.
I wish I was in Dixie.
Hooray, hooray.
In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south and see.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
I wish I was in Dixie.
Hooray, hooray.
In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south and Dixie.
That's the national anthem, ladies and gentlemen, for the Confederate States of America.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Sadly enough, it's the last Saturday we have with you in the month of April, which means it's the last Saturday we have with you to celebrate Confederate History Month 2012, as April is the officially dedicated Confederate History Month in many southern states, including Tennessee.
And so we do our bid here during the third and final hour of each live broadcast of the Political Cesspool during this month to salute and remember the men who fought for the South during the Second War for American independence.
And I'm your host, James Edwards.
Eddie Debama, you're with me here in studio with me for tonight's broadcast, Saturday, April 28th.
Coming to you from AM 1380 WLRM Radio.
We have covered a lot of ground this month.
Of course, when you're talking about commercial radio, you're talking about everything that encompasses those years between 1861, 1865, all the history there.
The best we can do in four hours worth of radio with commercials that's really like three hours.
The best we can do during our on-air tribute to the South is give you a very rough flyover at best.
Might enlighten you with a couple of interesting stories you didn't know before.
But basically, we're just here to do our best.
And certainly that's what we've done to celebrate the men who fought for the South.
And in some cases, not just the men.
Have you ever heard about the person Winston Smith refers to as the Southern Boadicea?
Listen to this.
This is an actual letter that was written on June 3rd, 1864.
Robert Audrey of Company B. He's a Yankee, the 111th Illinois Infantry.
He mailed this letter to his father describing some recent action his unit had seen.
Have you read this story, Eddie?
Here it is.
This is what the Union soldier writes to his father in 1864.
Dear father, I take pen in hand to let you know that I am well.
We are camped near Dallas, Georgia, where we found the enemy in force on the 26th.
The 111th was on the front line of the breastworks, and we drew a hot fire from the rebs until about 4 o'clock when the enemy viciously charged our works.
We poured hot fire into their ranks, and several times their lines broke.
But they rallied again and again and came on with guns blazing and flags waving.
They fought like demons and we cut them down like dogs.
Many dead and dying secessioners fell prisoner.
I saw three or four dead rebel women in the heap of bodies.
All had been shot down during the final rebel charge upon our works.
One rebel woman charged to within several rods of our works and was raving the traitor flag and screaming vulgarities at us.
She was shot three times, but she still came.
She was finally killed by the fourth and fifth shots fired almost simultaneously by our boys.
Another she-devil shot her way to our breastworks with two large revolvers, dealing death to all in her path.
She, too, was shot several times with no apparent effect.
When she ran out of ammunition, she pulled out the largest pig stucker I've ever seen.
It must have been 18 inches in the blade.
When the corporal tried to shoot her, she kicked him in the face, smashing it quite severely.
Then she stabbed three boys and was about to decapitate a fourth when the lieutenant finally killed her.
Without doubt, this gal inflicted more damage to our line than any other reb.
If Bobby Lee were to fill a brigade of such fighters, I think that the Union prospects would be very gloomy indeed, for it would be hard to equal their ferocity and pluck.
Our regimental losses were about six killed and ten wounded, including Lieutenant Colonel Black, who was slightly wounded, I believe in the thigh.
Please give my regards to all inquiring friends and love to the family.
Your devoted son, Robert Audrey, 111th Illinois Regimental Volunteers.
So, Eddie, in this story, as you read, he talks about a handful of southern women who were shot countless times, but still charged forward and were still fighting, even after being riddled with, in some cases, five bullets before they actually fell.
Again, a story lost in the sands of time if it weren't for the political cesspool and stories like this that give me great honor to present Confederate History Month.
To say the least, they fought with the tenacity and a spirit the likes of which you can't get out of a paid mercenary.
They were fighting, as Stonewall Jackson said, to protect their home and hearth.
Only when you're fighting something so near and dear to you would you charge into certain death for such a cause.
You know, James, one of the reasons she might have been fighting so hard, she's probably tired of being raped.
I know we got into that last week, and I got an email.
To set the record straight, I think you said, you know, every southern woman was raped, which was a little bit of exaggeration, to say the least.
And we did get a good email about that.
But no, it did happen.
It did happen.
I don't know if it was quite as prevalent as it was in the Soviet, you know, with the Soviets were doing to the German women.
But it did happen.
I mean, to say most of them or half of them, a little bit of exaggeration.
We want to keep everything as factually sound as we can, but there's no doubt that there are documented instances of, you know, I guess to be raped by the North would have been a blessing compared to some of the methods that the North used upon women and children during that war.
Well, you know, James, I will respond to that by saying the victor writes the history, and I'll let the victors have their version of history, and I'll maintain my own.
You know, James, I'd like to mention one thing.
I'd like to say something just real quickly.
I'd like to say hello to some of our fans out there.
I'd like to say hello to Lee Cochran and Ron Miller and Sherry Crawford, who were out there.
They were at the Jim Tucker meeting last night.
He spoke on Agenda 21 and the Miller Burgers.
I'd just like to say hello to them.
We have a lot of loyal fans out there.
We certainly do.
And how much time have we got in that gym?
James?
Wrapping it up, but we're coming back.
Okay, listen.
Okay, hey, when we come back, I want to tell y'all some of the stuff about what would our union dads say if they could rise up as 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?

And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Following up on what Eddie was just mentioning, yes, indeed, before the break, and I know we got cut off there by that last commercial, but what Eddie was saying is that he went to a meeting last night featuring Jim Tucker of the American Free Press, who is famous for writing his first-hand accounting of the Bilderberger meetings over the years.
And anyway, Jim Tucker was making a public appearance in Memphis last night.
And Eddie went there, not as an official representative of the show, but just as an attendee.
And a great number of the people there in the audience, which numbered about 100 people, I believe, knew who Eddie was, and they knew about the show, and they were regular listeners.
So, Eddie, I don't want to divert too far because I know this is our last night to celebrate Confederate history.
Of course, we celebrate Confederate history every night on this show, every month of the year.
But as far as the official Confederate History Month celebration, this is our last night until next April.
But quickly recap the reception you got there.
And were you surprised that so many people there at just a random meeting, people you hadn't met before, were fans of the show here in Memphis?
You know, I was very surprised, James.
Matter of fact, I was surprised.
I knew we were going to be a few people.
The three people I just mentioned, I figured that they would be there.
You know, Lee and Ron and Sherry.
But Mitchell Morris is also there, too, and was very friendly.
You know, Mitchell Morris is active.
And I don't know anything he's not involved in in the patriotic community.
He's, you know, Campaign for Liberty.
I think he might be an attendee of the Libertarian Party, but he was really nice.
He really was.
They were very cordial.
And I'll tell you what, I was surprised.
You know, we have more fame out there than I thought.
We have a lot of supporters out there.
Now, a lot of them are afraid James, you know, for the obvious reasons, but we know they're out there.
And I salute them.
That's right.
Eddie walked us to a meeting last night and gets the rock star treatment.
Lots of people coming up to Glad Hand him and announced their support of the show.
And God bless you, folks.
We're glad that you're out there and hope that you're tuned in tonight.
Great report from the front lines from Eddie Bombardier Miller from the Jim Tucker meeting last night.
Now, I read one letter in that last segment from a Yankee soldier to his father talking about how they had to shoot these women, these southern women, four and five times because they were just fighting with that much tenacity.
This is a far more touching letter.
This letter that I'm about to read to you will bring into sharp focus just how far we've fallen from the 1930s, which was when this letter was written in 1933.
This is a letter.
It's a real-life story.
It's real-life history that I think you'll enjoy listening to me share with you.
It's a letter from the comptroller of the state of Florida that accompanied a Confederate veteran's pension check to the great grandmother of a listener of this very radio program who, by that time, was a widow.
December 20th, 1933 was when this letter was issued.
The language praising the ideals of the Confederacy are words that would never pass the lips of a state government employee today or of a politician today.
The difference in attitudes of public officials between the date that the letter was written, December 20th, 1933, and now is very staggering.
But this is what it read.
And again, this is an official letter sent out to the widow of a Confederate veteran, and it contained her pension check that she was drawing from her husband, who had served in the armed forces of the South during that war.
And it reads this, State of Florida Comptroller's Office, Tallahassee, December 20th, 1933.
And it's addressed to Mrs. Sarah E. McGeehee of Tampa, Florida.
And this is what the Florida Comptroller said.
Dear friend, I consider it quite fortunate on my part in being selected as the official charged with the responsibility of mailing you the enclosed pension check.
It is a rare privilege and a pleasure to forward to you this token of appreciation of the great state of Florida.
I sincerely wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a surprisingly happy new year.
Personally, I feel the debt of gratitude owing you by the Commonwealth of this state cannot be estimated in material wealth and therefore cannot be composed by mere payment of money.
It is a liability that cannot be expressed in dollars, but it can be enshrined in the sacred archives of tradition.
And by teaching the seceding generations that by your actions, experience, and devotion to a sacred principle, you have proved that God does not force us into deep water to drown us, but to cleanse us.
And that adversity is the trial of principle without which one hardly knows whether or not he is honest.
Unless, like those who fought for the Confederacy, he is sorely tried, smelted, polished, and glorified in the furnace of our tribulation.
If we remain true to our ideals and steadfast to our principles, as exemplified by those who fought and followed the stars and bars, we are reminded that honor is likened to certain herbs and flowers.
They send forth their most delightful odors only after they have been crushed and broken.
Therefore, we should, all of us, profit from the experience and example of you brave souls who have conquered discouragement and despair and have, phoenix-like, risen from the dead ashes of destitution and want to the heights of honor, peace, and tranquility.
May the one in whose honor we observe Christmas comfort and keep you.
Very sincerely, J.M. Lee, Comptroller, State of Florida.
Again, many thanks to political accessible listener Stephen McGeehee for bringing this stirring letter to our attention, and I believe we featured it last year as well.
But, Eddie, again, that was a letter written by an official representing the state of Florida.
It was poetic.
I mean, when you're reading that, it was almost like reading Shakespeare, the level at which people could communicate even back into the 30s.
But listen to what he talks about.
He talks about the honor of those who fought for the Confederacy.
The ideals, how people need to remain true to the ideals of those who followed the stars and bars.
He talks about Christ.
He wishes her a Merry Christmas, and so on and so forth.
None of that would pass the lips of any state government employee today, certainly no politician.
But that was a letter written to the widow of a Confederate veteran from the state of Florida, December 1933.
Beautiful letter.
And as one of our listener writes on the website, it dates from a time when there did exist such an institution as public service.
And anyway, Eddie, your thoughts on that letter.
Well, first of all, James, you mentioned something that jumped down at me right off the bat was the skill and penmanship, the skill in writing this guy had.
You would never, ever see that come out of a government school now, James.
You would never see that skill.
Like you said, it's like Hemingway or somebody.
You know, and also, the guy was not worried about being politically correct.
His attitude then that he showed toward the South and toward the ideals that the Southerners fought for were still strong in those days.
And people did not worry about being politically correct.
It just shows, James, that the success that the internationalists have had in dumbing down and brainwashing our young people with these government schools.
I mean, people come, you know, white kids coming out of a government school nowadays, James, they've been taught to hate their own race, to hate the Confederacy and to the ideals that it stood up for.
James, I have time.
I'd like to just mention one thing we talked about last week.
I would like to ask the people out there to envision, what do you think would come to mind if some of the dead Union soldiers could rise from the grave and witness what's happening with their great victory that's happened, that they won.
Here we have, I read a story on the internet just today about a four-year-old girl who was forcibly ripped apart from the arms of her mother to be frisked down in an airport because the goon, the TSA goons, the lowlifes, said that they saw a handgun, a pistol being passed from the grandmother to the four-year-old.
As the four-year-old was going with her mother to board a plane going back home from visiting the grandparents, the little four-year-old, as babies will do, ran back to hug her granny one more time.
And the granny gave her a little doll, something like that.
Political systems will be right after these messages.
Oh, going to break.
Okay, folks, I'm going to continue the story when we come back, okay?
It's a good story.
Suing Liberty.
DeTusen is our guide.
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.

You know, again, as we celebrate Confederate History Month, as we wrap up our celebration of Confederate History Month tonight, you know, again, even in our very best efforts, we can only give you a very light sampling of everything we'd like to cover.
And hopefully it's enough to interest you to go and read more and learn more about the South because truly what they fought for is worthy of celebration each and every week of the year.
But we showcase it here on this program every April because April is Confederate History Month.
But, you know, one thing about Confederate history is that it doesn't change.
It is what it is and it was what it was and it's not open to interpretation.
It's not a fluid thing.
It's something that happened in history.
And so therefore, some of our previous years installment of Confederate History Month, if you haven't heard them yet, are just as timely today as they were then.
And when I think about the Confederate History Month tribute series that we do every year, I always look back to April of 2007 as our banner year.
That was the last year that we were on the radio Monday through Friday.
You'll remember in 2008, in 2008, we got picked up by the network and we were syndicated.
And that's when we moved to the weekend format on Saturday nights.
And ever since then, it's just been one day a week, Saturday nights, syndicated nationwide.
There you have it.
But back in 2007, we were still on the AM dial here in Memphis Monday through Friday.
And so therefore, you had five times the amount of Confederate history information you could work into a month.
And just, folks, I was listening to some of these old shows today in the broadcast archives at thepolitical cesspool.org.
If you go there and you go to the archive page and you go all the way back to April of 2007, that really was our showcase of showcases in terms of bringing on Confederate guests or guests with a great knowledge of all things Confederate.
And I'm just going to give you a quick rundown of some of the people who appeared as guests on this show in April of 2007 for that year's tribute to Confederate history.
Dr. Thomas de Lorenzo, an author of many books, including The Real Lincoln, A Look at Dishonest Abe.
We had, of course, Sam Dixon, who wrote the book Shattering the Icon of Abraham Lincoln.
Clint Johnston, who was the author of a very big book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South.
We had a gentleman by the name of Scott Harris on the show, who was the director of Newmarket Battlefield.
And if you're not familiar with that battle, cadets from the Virginia Military Institute fought alongside the Confederate Army and forced the Union general and his army out of the Shenandoah Valley in the Battle of Newmarket.
So a little-known battle that we give you more information on.
David Duncan was on the show, a high-ranking official with the Civil War Preservation Trust.
Waite Rawls, the executive director of the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia, the former capital, he was on.
Many, many others were on during that month.
Dr. Thomas Naylor, Professor Emeritus of Economics at Duke University, he was on to talk about the nobility of secession.
So there you have a professor from Duke University talking about the nobility of secession only on the Political Cesspool.
We also had Richard Flowers, who is the curator of Beauvoir, which is the Jefferson Davis home and presidential library located in Biloxi, Mississippi.
That should sound very familiar to many listeners of the Political Cesspool because, of course, last month we had our first quarter fundraising drive and those who gave $100 or more received a piece of the tile of Jefferson Davis's home, his slate roof.
And Eddie, I believe you received one of those as well.
Yes, good.
Got it in your pocket?
Richard Flowers, anyway, the curator of Beauvoir, was on the show that month in April of 2007, as was Senator Glenn McConnell.
South Carolina Senator Glenn McConnell was on to talk about the legacy of the crew of the CSS Hundle.
Glenn McConnell from Charleston talking about the history of the CSS Hundley.
You know, people always like to talk about the Confederates as being ignoramuses and all people from the South are stupid.
Well, we're so stupid that we invented the first submarine to ever sink an enemy ship in naval warfare.
And we had a state senator that year in 2007 on to talk about it.
Folks, this is just a sampling.
Dr. Michael Hill, the president of the League of the South, was on.
As was Dr. David Bush, the director of the Johnson Island Confederate Prison in Ohio.
That was a very interesting interview.
Dr. Mark Thornton, that's four straight PhDs there in April of 2007.
He is a PhD from Auburn University, and he was discussing the causes and effects of the war for southern independence.
Folks, that's just an overview of the guests that we featured on this show in April of 2007.
Ladies and gentlemen, that truly was one of the most memorable months that we've ever had in the Political Cesspool radio program's history.
If you have been intrigued by our flyover of Confederate history here this month, you need to go to the broadcast archives at thepolitical cesspool.org.
And ladies and gentlemen, immerse yourself in the audio archives of April of 2007.
I've been doing it myself a little bit today, folks.
It was a magical, magical month for any of you like me who appreciate Confederate history.
And you know, we were talking about Senator Glenn McConnell and the Hundley.
As I told you, Eddie, I believe I shared this story.
I was there.
I was there when they had the burial of the Hundley crew.
You know, after the Hundley sank the USS Housatonic in Charleston Harbor, the submarine sank.
And for over 100 years, they didn't know where it was.
They knew it was somewhere.
Back a little over a decade ago, they found the Hunley.
They pulled it up, and of course, Lieutenant George Dixon and the rest of the crew were still entombed inside the submarine after they blew up the ship.
They couldn't make it back to port.
They sunk.
Of course, this was the first time a submarine had ever been attempted to be manned.
And so, you know, there wasn't a lot of precedent there.
But they pulled them out, and they gave them a military funeral in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2004.
And I was there for the funeral procession, and it was about 100,000 people showed up for that funeral.
They lined the battery of Charleston from the harbor just miles down the road to this day.
One of the most incredible experiences of my life to be at a legitimate and authentic, not a recreation.
You know, we talk about these Civil War reenactors.
This was not a reenactment.
This was the last Confederate funeral that there could ever be.
And I was there for it.
And, you know, you see the caskets go by draped in Confederate flags, and then you hear him playing Dixie.
A lot of people lost it.
And it was absolutely tremendous.
And we talked about that that night on that show.
I still got the pictures of me there.
And they had the, you could go to the cemetery where the crew of that ship, that submarine, were being laid to rest.
We waited for hours in line, and everybody was given a piece of cedar.
And if you wanted to, you could drop a piece of cedar on the actual casket as it lay there waiting to be buried.
And I did that, and I walked right up to the grave, looked down at the casket of George Dixon, who was the commander of that submarine, and dropped my piece of cedar right there on top of his coffin.
And I guess it's still there.
But, you know, I'd like to go back to Charleston just to see that grave again because I haven't been there since then, at least to the cemetery.
But folks, that all happened in April of 2007.
And like I said, because this isn't a topic that's going to change, when we do Confederate History Month in 2013, nothing new is going to happen with regard to the war itself.
So you can go back to 2007 and you can listen to that.
Eddie, I wish you could have been there at that funeral, my friend.
I would have loved to have been there.
You know, James, we need to go up there sometime.
We really do.
Before too much longer.
You know, before we went to the break, James just talked about the four-year-old that was being attacked viciously by the TSA goons in the airport.
You know, it's just incomprehensible.
It blows my mind.
I wonder what the Union soldiers would think if they saw that nowadays, James.
So the great victory they won.
I wonder what they would do if they could go through, you know, Gary, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan, which, you know, you hear people talk about them, refer to them as rust buckets.
I've seen photographs of them.
They're grown up with the weeds.
They look like they've been bombed out.
They look like some of these cities in Germany and in Japan after the end of World War II.
No one can live there.
Even the blacks can't live there, let alone, God forbid, if a white tries to live there, James.
I got to say this.
You look at Henry Ford's, Henry Ford's actual office.
They still have where the office used to be, and it's just there's no roof.
The windows are all busted out, and there's grass growing in the room where Henry Ford used to sit as he presided over Ford Motor Company exactly right.
If you could go back to 1942, okay, if you could go back to 1942, let me make this point because this is incredible.
Think about this.
If you could go back to 1942 and you could fast forward to 2012 and you look at Detroit and then you look at Hiroshima or Dresden, you would think, man, they got us.
America lost the war because Hiroshima and Dresden have rebuilt because of their population and Detroit because of its population looks like a bummed out burned-out bird.
When we come back, it's all you, Eddie.
I want you to finish this story.
You know, basically what you're saying is the union could have seen the results of their meth.
You know, would they have done it?
I hope not.
We'll be back.
Are you new to freeze-drying foods?
These fine, easily storable foods were first developed for the U.S. space program.
Today, the U.S. military and the U.S. Submarine Service enjoy using these products extensively.
Freeze-dried foods typically maintain their high nutritional value in excess of 30 years.
Why store emergency food?
Keeping food on hand for emergencies protects you the same way as does insurance on your home or car.
With freeze-dry guy, freeze-dried foods in your food reserve, you can be ready for just about any unexpected crisis.

Welcome back.
To get on the Political Cesspool, call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of Deep Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the final segment of the final show of Competitive History Month 2012.
We have our intrepid correspondent, Peter Scoop Stanton, standing by.
But before we get to Scoop, I promised Eddie the chance to quickly wrap up his thought.
Again, folks, I hope you've enjoyed our sampling of coverage of Confederate History Month.
Go back to the archives April 07 if you really want to dig in deep.
And I think we've had a great month.
I've enjoyed this month, this month's coverage of Confederate History Month as much as any since that year to be sure.
We've really had a good time.
Very spiritual, very emotional.
Eddie, quick wrap-up on your commentary, then let's send it over to Scoop, who didn't get much time last week.
Yeah, I got to hurry up because I don't want Scoop to get caught off.
Yeah, like I was saying, we pulled up the photograph of Henry Ford's office.
You know, at one time, Henry Ford represented the absolute apex of industry.
He was one of the most powerful men, not only in the United States, but in the world.
I mean, and you can hear you got moss and grass growing in his office, what used to be his office.
You know, people, blacks, let alone whites, can walk the streets in most places in the South, but in the North.
You know what?
The North, ironically, James, in the North is in a lot worse shape now than the United States, then, excuse me, than the South.
You never hear anybody refer to the South as the Rust Bucket, but now, now, or the Rust Belt, now you hear people talk about the North being the Rust Belt.
I mean, look like I mentioned earlier, Gary, Indiana, Detroit.
You know, Detroit, Michigan used to be, you know, the car city.
You know, they used to call them the big three.
Now we have at the taxpayer's dime, we have General Motors being bought with taxpayers' money and dismantling and given as a gift to the Chinese, to Red China, into Mexico and Brazil.
You know, we have Chrysler was bought up by the taxpayers' dime and shipped off over to Brazil, into Italy.
We have other Ford motor companies, they're being manufactured all over the world now.
The children, you know, the great-great-granddaughters of the Confederates and the Union soldiers, their daughters, their great-great-granddaughters are being raped in these government schools.
Our currency has been taken over, where it used to be backed by something of worth, by gold and silver.
It's been taken over by the international bankers, and it's no longer backed by anything.
Our currency has just been debased so bad it's worthless.
Our borders are wide open.
We have veterans that can't get medical care in the VA hospitals, James.
We have soldiers being, you know, having to doing three and four and five tours in the Army now.
I read the other day where something like, you know, 50 to 60% of the soldiers now are on psychotropic drugs.
They're committing suicide.
I mean, what did the Union Army fight for?
Is that what they fought for, James?
I'd just like to ask.
I wish they could come to life now.
I would love to be able to talk to one and show them.
Show them Detroit, Michigan and say, is this what you had in mind?
Because, you know, to a great extent, and Eddie, I don't think you're jumping to conclusions here.
I think, you know, to a great logical extent, the results of that war are being experienced in places like Detroit right now.
And then we've got to get to Scoop.
James, as you know, we both talked about it, and I'm scooping those too.
After World War I, the First World War is what did England end.
They never recovered from that war.
I'll go back.
I'll maintain you.
The United States has been going downhill since the War of Northern Aggression.
It's never been the same, George.
You know, and Christianity has been ripped apart.
I mean, it's just the country is just a cesspit.
Well, we held it together until the 60s, but once they officially, with Brown versus Board, I guess in 1954, once they completely did away with the Constitution in 54 and only accelerated its death in the 60s, we were able to hold it together even after the defeat in the war.
But after they did away with the Constitution in the 50s and 60s, that was it.
And make no mistake, people, the South, the Confederates, were fighting to preserve the Constitution.
Do not let anybody tell you another lie about that.
All right, and that being said, Peter Scoop Stanton, you're on deck, my friend.
What do you got for us tonight?
Good evening, James.
Good evening, Festival family.
For Confederate History Month, I just want to let everybody know in the D.C. area, May 5th, Saturday, May 5th, they're having something over at the Fairfax Battlefield somewhere in Fairfax City, Virginia.
Unfortunately, I had a good correspondence.
I don't have any other details other than on Saturday, and yours truly will be there.
Just look for the fat guy with the wall out of chain.
So they're having a pro-Confederate shindig in Fairfax, Virginia, you say, Scoop.
Yes.
Wow.
Yeah.
If you go to, I guess, Google Washington Post, they should have something on it.
I apologize for not having the information, but I'll forward to you, James, and you can post it on the blog.
An interesting thing I've encountered earlier this week, I was at Walmart buying some work boots for work purposes.
And I was for a long, long time to check out my one item.
In front of me, we're an immigrant couple, not from Europe, making a purchase.
And they're being held up by you due to the use of a WIC check.
WIC is an acronym for women, infants, and children.
So these two people from God knows where came off the boat and went to the local social services office to pick up a WIC check.
Whereas I had a pair of work boots to go to work to earn some money so I can pay for this immigrant couple's food.
Pardon me.
Then earlier today, my wife and I were grocery shopping, providing provisions for ourselves and our daughter.
And another group of immigrants from not from Europe, I'd say from South Belarus.
They were speaking Spanish, had gallons and gallons of milk in their cart, and they were going over the wick voucher.
And I just want to say my blood was boiling.
I was saying to myself, twice in a row, I'm going, you know, making purchases with money out of my own pocket.
And these people are coming to our shores and riding the gravy train.
And to boot, when my daughter was first born, I went to the county to ask for some assistance for daycare so I can go to work as well as my wife.
And it turned out we made too much money.
And the person from the county told me we made too much money.
I said, well, say I was an illegal immigrant.
I met the income threshold.
Can I still get benefits?
They said, well, yes, you can because we don't ask about immigrant status.
So that's my week in a nutshell.
James, back to you.
Well, I know Eddie's struggling with his headset over here for whatever reason.
Eddie's not getting good volume in his headset tonight.
But I read you loud and clear.
And basically what he was saying, Eddie, is that if I hear you right, Scoop, you went to buy a pair of work boots for, of all things, your job.
And essentially, while he was in line to check out at Walmart, which we know produces the dregs of humanity, even though I show up there from time to time, I mean, they got good deals, but he was held up in line an atrociously amount of time by some good Irishmen who were using their WIC card, you know, to get all the freebies and all the goodies that the government gives Irishmen.
And so basically, while Scoop was in to buy work boots, these other people were in and holding it up the line, bickering over the amount of free taxpayer money that was supposed to be on their WIC card.
And how'd that make you feel, Scoop?
Oh, I was just absolutely tickled knowing that I had to get up at work at 4 o'clock in the morning.
Well, think about it.
Think about it.
You go to work at 4 o'clock in the morning every day.
You bought those work boots.
Could go to work every day and pay for their WIC subsidies.
Right.
And then it didn't only happen once this week.
It happened twice.
Ah.
That was a different story.
I'm not going to give the name of the store, but it's a middle road market store for middle-class people.
And a group of good Irishmen speaking native Gaelic were buying tons and tons of milk.
In their hands was the WIC voucher.
I like that.
One time I can remember, we put up this receipt on the CESPO site.
It was like a scanned image of a receipt that someone found up in, it might have been Michigan.
And it was like, what was it?
It was like $700 worth of Porterhouse steaks that were bought on a WIC card, supposedly.
I mean, I remember that?
Anybody remember that?
So that's what they were doing.
Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, so again, and this goes back to something I'm glad you brought me all the way back around the clock, Scoop, because, you know, back in the 60s, and Eddie got here after I talked about this story during the second hour, but I was talking about that inspirational video we have featured tonight on the website, Walking on Air, and it's got all these time-lapse images from the International Space Station.
You know, back in the 60s and 50s, you know, people aspired to reach for the stars.
And ever since the 60s, you haven't really heard as much about the space program because all of the funding that could be going to produce astronauts are going to subsidize the third world here in America and to bring them here.
James, you bring up a valid point.
I wanted to mention last week, but I was cut short.
The discovery came into Washington is going to the Smithsonian Aerospace Museum out near Dallas Airport.
It was a big to-do NASA 747 which fly around town.
Well, it just shows you we've stopped.
We had the internal combustion engine, Transconate to the Railroad, and all this other things.
And now the space program is going away with the Pony Express.
And meanwhile, housing projects are open for business.
That's right.
I mean, it's a reallocation of resources, the shifting of America's capital from things that it should be investing in to, frankly, things it shouldn't.
That's not to say that we want these people to starve or we want ill-will, but they got to do it themselves.
Folks, they're playing our credits out of time tonight.
Hey, next week, folks, Eddie DeBomber Miller is going to be back with a report from the Jim Tucker conference.
So stay tuned on that.
God bless you.
Happy Confederate History Month.
We'll see you next week.
I'm James Edwards on behalf of my entire staff and crew here in Memphis and in Utah.
