You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Welcome, one and all, to another live broadcast of our award-winning talk radio program.
You're in the political cesspool with James Edwards this Saturday evening, September 19th.
And we're going to jump right into the fire this evening with our featured guest of the night, the one and only Peter Brimilow, who is, of course, the founding editor of VDARE.com and author of the runaway best-selling book, Alien Nation, Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster.
Mr. Brimilow has also previously served as editor of Forbes and National Review.
And I may add, he sends the greatest Christmas card known to man.
Peter, welcome back to the show.
It's been entirely too long since we last had you.
Thanks for having me on, James.
Our pleasure.
Well, let's get right to it then.
Alien Nation.
So this book comes out quite a few years ago now.
How has the immigration landscape changed since you wrote the book?
Well, basically it hasn't changed at all.
And I'm a great admirer of Anne Coulter's new book, Adeus America.
And she's definitely advanced the argument in several ways.
But her conclusions and her recommendations are exactly the same as mine.
I mean, there were various points in the last 20 years when it actually looked like it was going to happen, particularly when the Smith-Simpson bill was up in the middle 90s.
But the No Goodnicks just got in there and did a lot of lying and a lot of lobbying, and they were able to stall.
They basically kept what we call at vdare.com immigration patriots on the defensive for 20 years.
Well, this issue of immigration is...
One attempt after another to push amnesty, and the unmentionable, but concomitant immigration surged through.
They never stopped.
We stopped them all miraculously.
But we've not been on the offensive since the Smith-Simpson bill went down in 96.
Well, you're certainly right.
And this is, of course, your signature issue, your bailiwick, is immigration.
It's what V-Dare is designed to do.
James, it wasn't what I thought, but I expected.
But I was 40 years in financial journalism, writing a lot of highly technical financial stuff on various interesting issues like the gold standard and so on.
But it's immigration that apparently got most attention for.
Well, I think that would be an understatement.
Despite, of course, as you mentioned, coming from a financial background, so I guess it's an odd coupling there in some regards.
But you are certainly known now politically as being the go-to guy for, my goodness, I mean, we get tripped up on what to describe ourselves as.
Let's just use Buchanan's term for now, for argument's sake, paleo-conservatives.
And so you're the guy.
And for years, certainly ever since you wrote the book, with perhaps the exception of Pat in 96 and I guess 92 in 2000 to lesser extents, we've had no voice in the mainstream on immigration on a political level in terms of a candidate who was somewhat serious until, of course, this summer.
And Donald Trump just bursts onto the scene.
Peter, what do you make of him?
I just think, you know, I gave a speech about two years ago in which I said, you know, things look very bad, but miracles actually happen quite often in politics.
I mean, nobody expected the Soviet Union to collapse.
They happen both ways.
I mean, nobody expected the Afrikaners to give up South Africa.
So I was confidently expecting a miracle to happen, and it has done.
I mean, we ran an article in April, as late as April on VDAR.com from one of our writers, Matthew Riker, who predicted that Trump would run and he would pick up the immigration issue.
And I have to say, I ran it, but I didn't think.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised, James.
But on the other hand, you know, Trump's a real operator and he's got a very good sense of issues, and he can see there's a huge vacuum here.
You know, what's particularly amazing about Trump was for a while it looked like he was playing the usual illegal immigration bad, legal immigration good game, which Ted Cruz, for example, is still playing.
But then it turns out he wasn't.
He put out this attainment, which is wonderful.
I mean, he'd call for moratorium and then end to birthright citizenship and immigration in the interest of the American worker.
And that's a tremendous move forward.
Well, and it was also very shrewd.
Let's hope he's a true believer in this.
I mean, no one can say for sure.
Nobody can judge the heart of any man.
But let's hope that he is sincere in what he's saying about immigration.
And if he is, he's certainly not too distant from where I guess you and I would stand on the immigration issue.
But it's an issue that, while not currying him any favor within the establishment duopoly, it is an issue that certainly resonates with not only the base of the Republican Party, but middle America in general, which I guess to some extent would be one of the same.
It does indeed.
And, you know, they very rarely take direct polls on things like, would you be in favor of deportation?
But because they don't want to hear the answer.
But just recently, somebody did take a poll on, would you be in favor of rounding up and deporting all illegal aliens?
And it was overwhelmingly popular, but not just overwhelmingly popular in our group, but with all races and all income groups.
Yes.
So they're not going to take that poll again anytime soon because they don't want to hear that answer.
But it's been obvious to anybody who follows the issue that this is the case.
Not popular with the media, but certainly popular with the voters, and the voters have certainly not had a champion in a long, long time.
Right.
And having said that, James, you know, this was already shaped up to be a fairly good year because both Santorum and Scott Walker had said things about reducing legal immigration in the interest of American workers, which has never happened, which didn't happen in the previous election cycle.
So there were some signs of change.
But the thing here is that Trump has really sort of put the boot in on it.
He's prepared to make light, you know, to fight over it.
He'd actually said, very, listen, you hear him talking, people talking about his intentions rhetoric and so on.
But if you read what he said, it's not like it's angry, it's just that he's saying it at all.
Well, you know, the thing is, some of these other candidates, as we always see in primary election cycles, they will run to the right in the primary and they completely forget that once they start doing well or win the nomination.
And of course, then if they're elected, which Republicans may have a hard time doing if they don't nominate Trump, they're never going to get serious about it once they're in the White House, as we've seen time and time again.
I mean, how many times, you know, it took the Republican base decades of being betrayed before they decided to back an outsider if, in fact, that support for Trump continues.
But I say this, Peter, every week.
I'd be interested to know if you agree with this.
I say it every week, probably to the point of exhaustion with my audience.
But I truly believe that the issues that animate and bring this radio program to life, the issues that you've made your life's work, I still believe, and I hope I'm not being naive here, that the average American, the working class, you know, again, let's get into labels, but I believe that this is something that fundamentally they are in agreement with us on.
And certainly the media would never say that anybody would agree with us on anything the way they describe us.
And I think that the red meat and the charismatic way in which Donald Trump is delivering his views on immigration very explicitly, I mean, they're really just flocking to that.
And it's hugely encouraging when you take into account how many years that the people have been browbeaten by the media not to think this way.
What's your response to that?
Right.
I mean, again, I have another, I want you to, I spoke to Jared Taylor in his conference in the spring about how the situation, which, and it was obvious then that the Republican leadership, which is elected very largely as a result of a backlash against the collapse of the borders last summer, was going to do nothing whatever about Obama's administrative amnesty.
It was going to capitulate on everything.
So the situation was very, very bad.
But I said then, you know, based on my incredibly long years of watching these problems, that all it would take is one speech.
So you can see there's certain issues that one second.
I hate to interrupt you.
I hate to do it.
We got to take our first break.
Don't worry, folks.
We've got here for two more seconds.
We're just getting started.
More Peter Brimler right after this.

All right, folks, we're back with the incomparable Peter Brimilow, who, quite frankly, has done more than anybody else in this country to bring Americans to sensible thinking with regards to the issue of immigration.
And so we're talking to him about Trump, immigration, the entire GOP primary process, and more.
And we're going to get right back to it now.
Of course, as you mentioned, Peter, he comes out, makes immigration a signature issue, which I think is very smart because it's an issue that, first of all, needs attention.
If there's one issue we've got to correct, it's immigration first and foremost.
The second issue, whatever that may be, wouldn't even be close.
And the people recognize that.
So he's come out here.
He stormed out of the gates.
He issued a position paper, if you will, on the Second Amendment, which I think was equally good.
But he's known, of course, for immigration.
You read his policy.
How close is it to what Peter Brimilo himself would have written?
Or rather, should I ask, in which ways might you have improved it?
Actually, surprisingly close.
I have an article on my site discussing, thinking about what I would suggest I would have improved it.
I mean, I'd like more direct statements about the need to reduce legal immigration.
I'd have liked a more direct statement about the need to simply abolish the refugee statute.
This refugee statute was passed in 1981 and provides an expedited subsidized immigration program for favored groups.
It just needs to be abolished.
The Americans shouldn't be taking their refugees at all.
I said in there that, well, I'd like to see something about official English, about a language issue.
Well, next thing I know, Trump is criticizing Bush for campaigning in Spanish.
And of course, met with the usual history and everything.
So it's quite surprising how far he is moving in these ways.
Well, you ran, and I'm going to ask in just a moment how sustainable you think his candidacy may be.
But you had a very provocative, very good conversation with Jared Taylor for a podcast on the American Renaissance website.
I guess it was a couple of weeks ago now.
And you said something interesting in that interview that I'd like to have you repeat to my audience this evening.
So many people think that perhaps the time has already come and gone that we would find a candidate that would champion our issues, somebody that we could rally behind.
You say, though, not only is Trump not necessarily our last chance, but that you've run the numbers and that a candidate of his ilk could run.
I mean, I don't care about the Republican Party.
It's obviously totally corrupt.
But if you take it, I use the term GAP instead of GOP, generic American party, which is what the Republican Party actually is.
It's a default mode of patriotic party in America.
It doesn't deserve it, but it's there because the other party is less patriotic.
Well, if you look at the GAP party, it could win, even if there was no immigration cutoff.
It could continue to win national elections in the U.S. for a long time to come, right to the middle of this century.
As long as it gets, it increases white share.
I mean, the great point about the Republican Party is that, you know, it doesn't get a particularly good white share.
It's only somewhere in the 55, 55 to 60%.
It got 60%, I believe, in 2014 and 2010, but Romney didn't get 60%.
And of course, white turnout is down.
The two issues are white share and white turnout.
And the white turnout fell in the last two presidential elections, not surprising.
They give them a candidate that the Republicans actually put up.
So the Republicans' job is to basically turn the entire U.S. into the South, where the Republicans do get very high white shares and relatively high white turnout, again, without deserving it.
They just get it because the alternative is so obvious, and Southerners instinctively know that.
The great tier of states right across the northern part of the country, Greater New England, from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, that's where the Republicans should be building their white support.
It's ludicrous, though.
The Republicans actually lost narrowly the white vote in Iowa, you know.
They haven't carried the white vote in California.
I think Romney just carried it, but the previous presidential candidate and Carly Fiorina didn't carry the white vote in California.
That's what really needs to be done.
As long as they can continue to get a better grip on the white vote, they can win for a long time.
But, of course, that means they actually have to do something.
There's something.
And they simply have been very, very reluctant to do that.
Yeah, there's the rub, right, Peter?
I mean, they would actually have to do something.
They'd actually have to seek out the white vote rather than taking it for granted and treating their white voters like trash.
The whole flag thing, of course, is really, when you look at that Confederate flag fiasco and you see Romney's leading the charge against the battle flag.
Yes, yes.
They've succeeded.
The left has succeeded in tricking, in head-faking the Republicans into dumping on the backbone of the core of their support, namely white Southerners.
They're just insulting white Southerners.
It's amazing how he can get, you know, declare, they persuade the Republicans to declare war on their own base.
It's just unbelievable.
I tell you, right, and not only that, I mean, not only that, Peter, I think they truly do hate their base, yet they rely on them.
And it would have been so easy for Romney to have won if he did anything.
And I mean anything.
And even Dick Morris said the reason he lost is because the whites didn't show up to vote for him.
Right, of course.
And so now you have Trump, who is in some ways explicit.
James, you know, I was thinking about your question about the last 20 years.
I think one thing that has become obvious, to go back to my stock market days, this is a market that's not clearing.
In other words, it's obvious that the Republicans, a generic American party, needs to move on this issue.
And when it does move eyes, it does well.
But it won't refuse to move on.
And even if it hints at it, it then turns around and betrays the base on this question.
And I think what's become more obvious over the last 20 years is the extraordinary influence of the big donors.
I mean, the professional politicians are far more interested in donors than they are in votes.
I saw an amazing number the other day.
Governor Perry, of course, has dropped out of the race now.
But he's raised $17 million, which is still in his pack.
Now, what's going to happen to that pack?
Who's running it?
A lot of that money is going to finish in the hands of the consultants.
And it's money that came from the influence of the donors and the consultants.
And that's become very clear that they're really bad actors in the system.
Well, they are.
And it would take a guy like Trump to obviously circumvent.
And he's right.
And that's another reason why I think he's got such appeal is that he calls these clowns what they are.
I mean, they're owned, they're bought and paid for, and there's just no doubt about that.
And so, and now, you know, he's got all of this lavish media attention, saturation coverage, but it's all been bad, of course, with regard to the media coverage.
None of them have really said anything good about him.
And then the Republican Party itself is just absolutely shaking in their boots with the thought that he just might pull this thing off.
I think we're going to see a lot more dirty tricks from the Republican Party to derail him.
Of course, now all of the candidates are attacking him even more ferociously.
And of course, the thing after the second debate now is that Trump fatigue has set in and the decline is imminent.
What do you make of that, Peter?
Do you think that this is something that he could carry this momentum into February?
It's still a long road before the New Hampshire and Iowa caucuses.
But do you think that he could actually win?
I guess the short answer is yes, I do.
Who knows in this wild system, this crazy system?
Anything can happen.
His demise has been predicted so many times now that it's surprising to me that they're even trying to predict it again.
One of the things this has shown, of course, is that the mainstream media and the politically elite, they really don't understand the country.
For example, they're all convinced that because he was mild of John McCain or appears to be critical of John McCain, that was the end.
But of course, the base doesn't care about John McCain.
So it's obvious that wasn't going to do it.
And similarly with this issue of whether Obama's a Muslim or not, fast amounts of Americans do think that Obama is a Muslim, and they've got reason to think that.
You know, he's given his background and he's extraordinarily odd behaviors and his attitudes towards it, extraordinary, you know, towards Islam.
So they do, I think they systematically misjudge what's actually going on because they're living in a bubble, these media types.
So I think it could do it.
I mean, on the other hand, it's grueling what he's doing.
Grueling.
And he's 69 years old.
Helly, he's even older than I am.
But I'm told that the power is in good shape.
Well, he appears to be, certainly.
And you're right, though.
I mean, just imagine the pressure that you're under.
You're a frontrunner leading by 20 points.
The entire media in this country.
He's chewing himself.
Well, he's enjoying himself, certainly.
But it still has to take a toll somewhere down the line, physically, if not mentally.
We are going to take a break.
We're going to be back with Peter Brimmeler for one more segment.
Stay tuned for that.

The Occidental Quarterly fills a unique niche in bringing together scholarly articles on a wide range of topics that are mired in political correctness elsewhere.
It is edited by Professor Kevin McDonald, who's no stranger to listeners at the political cesspool.
There are quite a few reasons for the precarious state of our civilization and our people, but one of the main ones is that we have lost the intellectual and moral high ground to a cultural elite that is hostile to our people and our culture.
Those of us who are politically aware must understand that the elites dominating culture and the political process in the West are intellectually and morally bankrupt.

Folks, it would be impossible for me to impress upon you the extent to which Peter Brimelow truly is a national treasurer.
I hope that you respect, you know, you want to talk about doing the job most Americans won't do.
Peter Brimelow's that guy, and he deserves your support.
He has earned it.
He has put himself on the line time and time again for many, many, many years.
VDARE.com, ladies and gentlemen, write it down.
Make it one of your daily reads.
VDARE.com.
Support the work of Peter Brimelow.
And if you're not familiar with this guest, it would almost be impossible for that to be the case.
But should you be tuning in for the first time, look up this guy's biography.
I mean, he is a very impressive guest, to be sure, and we're very grateful to have him tonight.
Peter, you know, one thing I'm sure you've been questioned about a lot, or one thing that's been batted around and certainly misconstrued by the media, which along with everything else, has been misconstrued by them.
They say it's impossible.
It would be utterly impossible.
It's a fantasy to suggest that should Donald Trump win, that he would ever be able to send home the illegal aliens.
It would be, you know, that's just, it would never happen.
Your answer to that?
Well, you know, what about Eisenhower?
He did it.
I mean, there was a very similar illegal immigration crisis in the 1950s, and Eisenhower ended it in less than six months with what they then called unflinchingly Operation Wentbach.
And they sent well over a million people home.
Now, they didn't actually deport more than 100,000 or so, but Lild got the message.
And that's what would happen.
Of course, the real, I mean, the point of our illegal immigrants is they came here and they can go.
They can turn around and go back.
We didn't have miles and miles of buses bringing them in, and we don't need miles and miles of buses to take them out.
We just cut off the work and cut off the benefits.
And that includes, by the way, education.
I think that one of the most disastrous decisions, the Supreme Court decisions in the last half century, and that's a very hot competition, by the way, is the Pylo versus Doe decision, which forced taxes to educate illegal aliens' children.
Quite clear that, and it could easily be overthrown by statute, and it should be.
Well, I will tell you this.
The Catholic Church educate them.
They say they're a chargeable organization.
Let them get on with him.
Oh, you know, you know, we're going to talk about this later on in the program tonight.
And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be providing comprehensive opinion and analysis.
Keith Alexander, my co-host, and I, will be doing so in the second hour about what's going on with the debates.
But you brought up the Catholic Church, and here I am as a Southern Baptist, and the churches are just so I don't want to chase a rabbit here, but they're just so disgusting what they're doing on this issue.
You had the head of the Southern Baptist Convention say any Christian who supports Trump should repudiate his beliefs.
And it's just so sickening.
It just makes me physically upset that the craven cowards that somehow ascend to leadership positions, not just in the other institutions of power, but now the church has just become, oh, God, so despite it.
Church, every single church, but the role of the Catholic Church is extremely unfortunate.
And we published articles for years back.
There were a lot of extremely angry Catholics out there about this.
Oh, sure.
Published articles for many of them for a long time.
Well, right.
I mean, this guy doesn't, you know, Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention certainly doesn't speak for me, and I've gone to a Southern Baptist church my whole life.
But, I mean, it's just Alan Wall, who writes for us, has written a lot about this.
And it's quite obvious that the treason lobby just decided that they were going to buy themselves some Southern Baptists.
And they set up a whole series of fund groups, and they reached out to various corruptible Southern Baptists, and they got them.
You know, they bought them.
They bought a Southern Baptist leadership.
But if you actually look at the polls of what Southern Baptists think, or Catholics either for that matter, you find that they just don't agree with them.
Well, this is the thing.
So here you have, and again, I don't want to, we only have a couple of minutes left, and there's two questions I have to get to you, and this wasn't one of them.
But you have the head of the Southern Baptist Convention going to that bastion of pro-Christian thought, the New York Times, and writing an op-ed bashing Donald Trump.
These are the same people who are so scared to death of losing their taxes status, they completely sideline themselves from political issues with which they should be involved.
And right, even the reason he wrote it, he was prompted to write it because Trump's leading with the so-called evangelical block.
And he said, you know, how horrifying that was.
That, you know, anybody, Christian, he didn't say it about Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, but Donald Trump, because apparently he feels Donald Trump had premarital sex or something like that.
But you just got to read it in the New York Times.
You can't make this stuff up.
But this is another question I do want to ask you, Peter.
Right now, I'm in play for the Republican Party.
For the first time in my life, I became a voting age in 1998, and I voted third party every time.
I did Buchanan, Chuck Baldwin, Michael Perutka, and then last year, Merlin Miller, and Virginia Abbott.
I'm in play for the GOP.
But should Trump not win?
Is there even a number two?
Is there anybody out there that our folks should be looking at besides Trump, in your opinion?
Well, as I say, both Santorum and Walker have made good noises about legal immigration.
Ted Cruz is very good on illegal immigration, but he's bad on legal immigration, so who knows what that would Romney.
They're the best crop we've had for a long time.
I also think personally, I think eventually the party will break up.
I don't see how it can continue like this.
Maybe Trump will do it if he feels like it, or maybe it'll happen next round.
I'm with you, by the way.
I've never voted for Republican in a general election.
Well, thank you for offering that.
You know, some people safeguard their votes.
You know, it's a thing that they don't want out there.
But I appreciate your candor, which I should have expected nothing less, of course, from a man like you.
But one other thing, I should have asked this a moment ago with regard to the it would be impossible to get these people to deport or to deport them physically.
They say the same thing about the wall.
Is it impossible to build a wall to secure the border?
Is it impossible to do that?
There's experts on building a war.
And their war is a very long war.
It's a small country, but it's a very complex border.
650 miles that wall, and the U.S. border was only about 2,000.
It's only about three times as big.
So bring a few Israelis and have them do it.
You know, that could open a whole other can of worms.
We could go into the end culture thing, but time doesn't permit.
I do wish, though, I will say this, I do wish we had Israel's domestic policy with regards to immigration.
Well, you know, they had an illegal immigration crisis, which was equally serious with what the Americans had after the fall of Mubarak.
And they simply turned it all around.
And they did things which we've been calling for for years, like not allowing people to send remittances overseas unless they're legally present.
Why don't we demand that people show that they're legally present before they can send remittances back to home countries?
That will break the back of the economics of illegal immigration right there.
Well, I mean, I certainly agree.
We have had, oh, my goodness, I can't even count, more than a few emails come in for you since the interview started.
I'm just going to open one at random here, and hopefully we won't get a question like Donald Trump had to field, although I think that guy was a plant there in New Hampshire a couple of days ago.
We're just going to take this one off the top.
Have you ever written an article that suggests that illegal immigration may be replacement slavery instead of bringing in slaves, we now allow the new slaves to come on their own?
I think the close parallel between slavery, the slavery, and not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration.
I think that the owners of capital have just simply decided to undercut the American working class and get themselves in a bunch of hellots, you know, of semi-slaves.
I think they like illegal immigration because they're more docile.
Fair enough answer.
I want to give the last minute or two to you.
A parting shot?
Anything that perhaps you wanted to bring forth to the audience tonight that I failed to ask?
And certainly make yourself or feel free to plug VDAR one more time.
But is there anything you'd like to relate to the audience that we haven't yet covered?
Yeah, you know, I said this on VDAR a few times, but in 1975, I went down to, I was in Calgary at the time.
I went down and interviewed the publisher of National Review, Bill Rusher, about his plan for attempting to get a third party going.
And at the end of this interview, we went off the record and he said to me, you know, we keep on fighting, but it's all over.
And the red flag, this is after the fall of Vietnam, the red flag will wave over the world.
It's impossible to exaggerate the pessimism among the American Conservative movements at that point.
But he said, we keep going because you never know what might turn up.
And there are also theological injunctions against despair.
And I've never forgotten that because, of course, five years later, Reagan was elected and the world had absolutely turned upside down.
So I guess my point is don't give up.
Well, you know, if giving up was an option, I guess we would have saved a lot of money and hardship and heartache and done it ourselves quite a long time ago.
And I never think that victory is imminent.
Rather, that defeat is imminent.
I always believe that there is a chance that things can turn around and not just turn around.
I think that they could turn around quickly.
We've seen it.
If you look throughout history, things can change and things can look very bleak.
I'm sorry, very old, you see.
I actually remember the change in the mood from the middle after the fall of Vietnam to five years later after Reagan was elected was simply stunning.
Of course, 10 years later, 15 years later, the Soviet Union collapsed, which nobody ever expected.
So we keep on fighting.
Just to point out one example, and a very good one at that.

Extend your life with extendovites.
Extendavite really works.
Here is what people are saying.
A year ago, I was realizing that I was in serious problems with my heart.
You know, I had these chest pains and so on.
I realized that I had to do something and quick.
I didn't want to go the medical route, so I started in doing some investigating, and somebody told me about these heart drops.
I got on the heart drops prescribed dosage within two weeks.
I immediately started seeing the results.

All right, everybody.
Well, a tough act to follow Scoop Stanton has tonight, following a guy like Peter Brimelow.
But if anybody can do it, it's certainly Scoop, and he's got another great segment coming your way right now.
Scoop, welcome back.
Thank you, James.
Good evening, Cesspool family.
Well, once again, yours truly is running late for work, so I'm still in my Chevrolet on the highways and byways of the Washington, D.C. area.
So if you hear me stop talking, it means I'm planning to break my brakes in my car as much as possible.
But let's get started.
If you had a wreck on air that could be good for ratings, I'm just saying.
Oh, yeah, it'd be great for ratings, but it'd be terrible for my insurance premiums.
Yeah, stay safe while you...
He's working and driving, folks.
You know, pay attention.
So stay safe, Scoop, and give us your report.
Okay, we first want to remember Kentucky State Trooper Joseph Cameron Ponder, who was shot and killed attempting to perform a traffic stop.
The dirtbag in question, Joseph Johnson Shanks, was led Trooper Ponder on a chase, stopped his car suddenly.
Trooper Ponder's car rear-ended Shanks car.
Shanks got out and executed Trooper Ponder.
Then this dirtbag decided to go in the wooded area near the traffic, the scene of the crime, and Kentucky State Police emergency response team went, found him.
He had a weapon, refused to comply with the orders.
He was shot, transported in hospital, and fortunately he died at the hospital.
But our thoughts and prayers are with Kentucky State Police.
Also in Decal County, which is in the Atlanta area, Officer Mark Vizacarando attempted to stop a car that was involved in suspicious of gun running.
He tried to perform a traffic stop.
A lot of goose chase ensued.
He crashed in front of a sign of a gas station.
I'm sure you all saw on the video by now.
And the two subjects got out and shot Officer Viz Carondo.
Fortunately, the officer survived.
Unfortunately, the two guys that were involved in the gunfight, they're arrested and they're still alive.
But on a sad note for DeKalb County, Georgia Police Department, Officer Kevin Toby was returning home from work after a shift and he was struck and killed by a car going the wrong direction.
Meanwhile, this week, the Black Lives Matter crowd met at the White House with senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.
Of course, you didn't see it in the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, because they don't want, they're not going to put it out there.
But it's absolutely true.
The Black Lives Gang also met with Roy Austin, the senior director of White House Urban Affairs.
It is unknown what the meeting is about, but I'm sure it's not to raise money for the widows and orphans of the cops that have been executed since December of 2014.
Now, another person who's going to get a White House invitation is a 14-year-old boy from Texas named Abdullah Muhammad, which is a nice Irish name.
This 14-year-old boy, supposedly for a science project, brought a homemade clock to school in a briefcase, which looked very much like an improvised explosive device.
And of course, the teachers saw this, and rightfully so.
They contacted the police, and the police saw this device, which looks more like a IED than a clock.
And so, anyways, a whole Twitter storm came out, and of course, President Obama went on Twitter and said, hey, Little Abdullah Muhammad comes to the White House that says the Big Bad Police stopped you for this very suspicious looking device.
Now, what we haven't heard from the mainstream media, of course, is that Mr. Muhammad's father, Muhammad Muhammad, which I'm not making the name up, the Muhammads, or Muhammad Plural, is an imam.
He's also very politically active.
So, and also if you go on YouTube, InfoWars and a couple other people who know a thing or two about engineering dissected the kids' so-called science project.
And believe me, folks, it looks nothing like a clock.
And what he did was took some old technology, soldered it together poorly, and make it look like a clock.
So it's a setup from the front, but he's going to get a visit from the White House.
But yet, all the widows and orphans whose husbands did not come home, they still Black Lives Matter terrorist group.
They get absolutely nothing.
Trooper Goldforce's wife, she got a call from the Obama administration.
And finally, the Stop the Cop Killing shirts are still available, folks.
We had to do a design change.
It's actually better than what we originally had.
I got the prototype shirt.
It's a badass-looking shirt.
On the front, it says simply stop the cop killing, support the police.
On the back, it says hashtag blue lives matter and thepolitical cesspool.org.
Hopefully, James will put the link up.
We had to change the design, the trademark issue, but it looks better than what I originally developed.
So please, if you want to support law enforcement, support the political cesspool, and make liberals very, very angry, please buy one of these shorts.
James?
Well, Scoop, thank you so much for that.
In fact, certainly we have to, you know, the staff of the political cesspool is sort of like a militia in that when you're in the group, you're sort of loosely under my command, but you're also free to come and go as you please since you certainly don't get paid for your contributions to this program.
None of us do.
But also comes with that the autonomy to kind of do your own things to help with the show from time to time.
And Scoop is an idea man.
And Scoop came up with this idea to do the shirt, and he just ran with it, which is one of the things we love about him.
I have not yet put it up on the website.
I need to do that.
One of the reasons is I didn't want to confuse the audience.
You know, we're running this fundraising drive right now.
We've only got a few days left for the third quarter fundraising drive, which ends on September 30th, ladies and gentlemen.
So if you have not yet contributed to the program this month, we certainly encourage you to do that.
We've hit a little lag here the last couple of days.
So if you're listening to my voice right now and you want to get a Confederate flag, $100 or more, you get that.
But anything helps.
I've received more $10 donations in the last week than I ever have in the almost 11 years I've been doing this broadcast.
And this is a nationally syndicated radio show that brings to you the likes of a guy like Peter Brimelow.
Brings to you people like Pat Buchanan and Kevin McDonald and on and on and on.
You know who we bring as regular guests on this broadcast.
You know the issues we talk about.
Those issues, those guests are made possible by donations of $10, $25, $50, $100.
That's a big one.
And so on and so forth.
But we need your help.
We cannot get commercial sponsors for this broadcast because we tell the truth.
And so we are reliant upon listener support.
So if you have not yet contributed this month, I encourage you to go to thepoliticalspool.org right now and do so.
$100 or more, you're going to get a Confederate flag from us.
So the thing with Scoop, what he's doing with the t-shirts, which also benefits the show, that's a separate issue.
And I didn't want you to get confused.
I know our audience can probably juggle two oranges at once.
But nevertheless, we are going to get that up.
I'm also glad we didn't get it up prior to now because you ran into a trademark issue.
I didn't know that the American flag was copyrighted, Scoop, but apparently it was.
I mean, tell us about that.
So you make these shirts.
They have an American flag.
It says support the cops.
Political cesspool on the back.
It has our website.
But was it a friendly?
Hey, that's a trademark infringement, or was it more hostile?
No.
What it is, the group, booster.com, before they print up the shirts, they need 25 orders of shirts, so they're not going to print them.
But they wanted to make sure that there's no trademark infringement.
Now, if we want to use this big chicken design for the American flag, it's not the regular wood, right, and blue.
It's blue and black with a blue line going through.
The late nice lady said that we can contact the artist and pay them.
I said, well, we don't have the money for that.
So let's try something with the Gadson flag.
So, well, you know, I like the Gadson flag better.
You know, I really hate to associate with the federal flag, let me say.
The federal flag.
You know, the American flag, in the sense of our founding fathers, yes, absolutely.
But the federal flag as it stands now, let's go with the Gadsden flag.
But listen, I'm glad you did that, Scoop.
No kidding.
And we'll get that up there.
And once we get all the information out there, we'll send it out to the email list.
We'll put it on the website.
Stay tuned for that, ladies and gentlemen.
But first, please be sure to donate to the general fundraising drive, which is going on right now and continues until the 30th.
We really need your support.
So donate tonight, if you will.
And anyway, I digress.
The thing about Ahmed the Clockmaker, this kid, was he a Muslim?
He was a Muslim, right?
Of course.
Okay, so he's a Muslim, and he goes to this school in Georgia with a clock that looks like a bomb, obviously.
And, you know, he just can't understand how he was sent home from school.
You know, just last week we had another school shooting in Mississippi.
You know, this happens with the increasing frequency.
He just can't understand.
It was obviously because he was a Muslim.
What are you coming to school with a homemade quote-unquote clock for anyway?
And I doubt it really was a bomb.
It was probably something just to scare people.
You know, his dad founded a company named Twin Towers Transportation or something like that that I read.
As some sort of a joke, I guess.
You know, ha ha, you know, the Twin Towers.
But he should have been sent home from school.
And even if he shouldn't have, what's the big deal?
There was no harm done.
He gets to go to the White House for getting sent home from school.
Yeah, this is crazy.
Winston Smith wrote an article about this that we're going to post on Monday about Ahmed the Clockmaker.
So go to thepolitical Cesspool.org and read what Winston writes about this topic.
But I'm glad Scoop brought it up.
And I'm always glad to have Scoop on.
He is an asset to the program, and we're grateful for his service.
