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.
Do you hear what I believe?
Do you hear what I believe?
Said the night wind to the little lamb.
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
You know, I think it's that is my favorite Christmas song, I think, of all time.
Well, there's so many.
It's hard to say, but I love that version of Do You Hear What I Hear.
I think it was the very first song we played early in December when we started playing the Christmas music.
This is our last one.
So much good Christmas music.
You know, you were talking about the service you went to.
I went to a service on Christmas Eve that was nothing but one Christmas carol afternoon.
Right.
I mean, it's just, it's outstanding.
And you reconciled that, Keith, last week.
You know, why our faith and our culture are so congruent.
Well, we talk about it all the time, I guess, but especially at Christmas time, why it's just so meaningful to the sons and daughters of Europe and of the West.
Well, listen, here's how the rest of the show is going to go.
It's all good times from here on out.
We're going to go to the next one.
Good times roll.
This hour, the biggest news stories that we covered in calendar year 2015 on the political cesspool.
We're going to do it for the next couple of segments.
The biggest news stories we covered in 2015.
Then we're going to have Scoop Stanton on to offer his top 10 as he sees them.
And then in the third hour, Eddie and I with the grand finale, the top 10 moments, the official top 10 moments of the political cesspool in 2015.
But first, we're going to give Matt the Copperhead the floor for a full 60 seconds, one minute of Matt the Copperhead.
And then we're going to get down.
Our correspondent from New York.
Hey, take a look at it.
Go, Copperhead.
Go, Copperhead.
Hey, live from New York.
It's Matt the Copperhead.
Merry Christmas, my brothers, Christ, James, and Pete.
Thank you.
Sure, you guys would not blame me for running and not seeing Christmas and Hollands Queens, even if they did have chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens.
So, here we go.
I was talking to a very good friend of mine, Teddy from Jersey, and we have an idea of coming up with a new word, and that's anti-Jebedite.
And James, my good friend, please, if you got a chance to spreck with the good brother Nathaniel about this, take it to a higher authority because, as you guys know, the tribe has Hebrew National, but we have Brother Nathaniel.
They're going to quite roll off the tongue, or as easy to remember as coxservative, but hey, you never know what we can do here in the political session.
Let's see what happens.
I mean, anti-hammite really runs off the tongue, but I'm sorry.
That shit altogether.
See what you do.
Copperhead.
If anybody can make it stick, it's us here.
I can tell you that.
I can tell you the media is listening tonight.
You never know what's going to be the headline.
It'll be picked up.
Hey, Copperhead, Merry Christmas.
Godspeed.
I guess we're a day after Christmas, but I'm still going to wish you a Merry Christmas.
Happy Christmas to everybody over in the UK, as they say it there.
We love you, brother.
Happy New Year, and we'll talk to you next week.
Absolutely, guys.
Love you.
God bless.
Nobody likes that.
I hope you escape from New York safely, my friend.
I hope it's colder in New York than it is here because I can hardly stand it.
We had to turn the air conditioner on.
Eddie's wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
He's wearing short shorts.
80 degrees in Memphis on December 23.
All right, listen, Keith, we were running out of time already.
All right, so here's what we're going to do, folks.
We're going to have some fun.
I went back and went through every blog entry from January 1st to the current day.
Everything we talked about, everything we wrote about, all of the archive notes for every show we did this year.
We're not doing our top 10 moments yet, but we are going to talk or revisit very quickly some of the biggest stories that we covered.
And here's how we're going to do it.
Keith, you really got to clock yourself.
You get 30 seconds per item, 30 seconds only, or we're not going to be able to cover them all.
I'm going to give two headlines.
Now, remember, these are all stories that we covered and offered commentary on here in the political cesspool.
I'm going to give the headline to Keith, 30 seconds on each.
I'm going to give him two at a time.
Talk, TikTok.
Bruce Jenner.
Okay.
And who else?
Bruce Jenner's number one.
And Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan crying over the fact that he once said the N-word.
Bruce Jenner and Hulk Hogan, two stories we covered.
Go.
Okay, well, that's what American athletic heroes have come to.
Athletes are not truly heroes.
Military people were heroes back in the day, back when my father was fighting in World War II, as somebody like Audi Murphy, not somebody like Bruce Jenner.
And you see what happens when you try to exalt somebody like Bruce Jenner.
This is a sad chronicle of what has happened to America.
That this is the golden path to fame and fortune to mutilate yourself sexually and become a transgendered woman, supposedly.
This is, you know, you can't even make this stuff up, James.
Go on.
All right.
Well, and then Hulk Hogan, I guess he's just another.
Again, Paula Dean revisited all of these people.
He made Paula Dean look manly.
Dog the Bounty Hunter had an episode with this.
Apparently, no one has ever allowed to have said or even thought the N-word sometime in the, you know, 50 years ago without having to flagellate themselves, you know, and rend their garments, gnash their teeth.
And even then, it's not enough.
They want a human blood sacrifice of these people.
Well, he went on some big show.
I don't know if it was a Today Show or what, Hulk Hogan.
He started crying because he got caught using the N-word.
Anyway, and then we all know about Bruce Jenner.
I don't see any of the rappers crying about it.
A 60-year-old man in.
Right.
A 60-year-old man in drag is America's national hero.
Well, that's what the media says.
Not real America.
I can tell you that.
All right.
Two other stories we covered this year.
And I'm not taking these in chronological order, folks.
I'm bouncing around.
They're not in alphabetical.
They're in no order at all.
Chronicle, chronological, alphabetical, or otherwise.
No order.
Bouncing around.
Just stories we covered on the show that were pretty big.
A Starbucks using their coffee cups to get out the social justice warrior message.
And for Black Lives Matter, they were cooking for them.
And then Black Lives Matter at Missouri University, what we saw there last month.
Well, if you actually had a candid conversation about Black Lives Matter or about race in America, as Starbucks suggested, you would immediately lose your job because, particularly if you worked at a college or university, because now you can't even give an alternative viewpoint to the liberal mantra on any of these issues without being guilty of committing what they now call a microaggression against the poor minority person.
Any minority, sexual orientation, race, whatever, they basically now have a heckler's veto.
You cannot even, the only time you can mention them is if you're gushing with praise for them.
And then of course, as we saw at the University of Missouri, the blacks just get upset, the football players, and rather than pull their scholarships and kick them out of school for threatening to boycott, nothing even happened there, that the president and the chancellor resigned.
Well, I'm surprised that they accepted that.
I thought they would probably want them to commit Harry Carey on TV, you know, get a sword and disembowel themselves.
Offer up their white daughters in tribute or something, but they have a blood sacrifice.
Okay, one more here from college, and then I know the break's coming up.
You'll have to get to this one quickly.
In the next segment, remember, folks, all of these stories we covered at great length, segments, if not entire shows on.
So go back in the broadcast archives.
They're all there.
There's the music.
So I'll let that announcement be my final thing.
Now, when we come back here in the next segment, we're going to do rapid fire just talking about some of the highlights of the news stories we covered in calendar year 2015.
But again, the extensive commentary, the full money on all of these stories is available on demand 24-7 in the broadcast archives.
And not just stories we covered in 2015, but all the way back to 2004 and every guest as well.
We'll be back.

Has your dancing and romancing done gone away?
Are you moaning and a groaning from the stresses of the day?
Are you reeling and appealing because of headaches on the way?
Well, relax for just a moment.
Stress relief is on the way.
Of what am I speaking, you ask?
The essential oils of long historic use.
The wisdom of the ages, the health care of the ancients, frankincense, myrrh, highsop, and hundreds of others too numerous to mention.

Many of you have heard me talk about my vigor score.
You say, Sam, what on earth is all this vigor stuff about?
Well, vigor is defined as zest for life.
Your strength in body and mind, your energy levels.

To get on the show and speak with James and the gang, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
And now, back to tonight's show.
This is the season.
My name is Wednesday.
My partner is Frank Jones, the Chief of Captain Kellogg.
December the 24th, Christmas Eve.
They brought in a guy named Grudge.
When I heard what they booked him on, my blood ran cold.
It was a 409-6325-096704.
Not believing in Santa Claus.
And what we did say, we did say we were going to have some fun tonight.
And that is the name of the show.
That was Stan Freeberg, a good son of Israel, by the way, who in the 50s had a lot of those, you know, tongue-in-cheek send-off type of comic songs on the radio, like I'm Getting Nothing for Christmas, and this was another one of them that you just heard.
All right, the dragnet.
Well, it's the time of year for all those top 10 lists.
And looking back on the year that it was, we're looking back on some of the biggest stories we covered here in the political cesspool on our airwaves.
Go back in the archives if you want to dig deeper.
But we're just covering them with a little hint of commentary, looking back on some of the biggest stories.
Later on in the show, the top 10 moments didn't really have anything to do with the stories we've covered, although sometimes they overlap.
It's been a huge year for the political cesspool.
I didn't even know how big this year was until I went back and reread.
Because, you know, you're in this battle every day, week in, week out.
You forget.
You forget some of the things that have happened a few months ago.
I went back.
What a year it's been.
I can't wait to have Eddie on in the third hour.
We're going to break down that list.
But okay, Keith, remember, keep your comments short.
But Ole Miss, the kid who put the Georgia state flag on the statue of James Meredith, is in the clink.
He's actually doing some time.
It's been several years over this, if you can believe that.
What has happened?
We live in Soviet America, James.
There's no other conclusion you can draw from it.
Meanwhile, leftists destroy property all the time.
Yep.
They get commendations like the Ahmed the Clockmaker kid that brings a bomb to school.
And basically, he gets offered scholarships to universities.
And he gets to go to the White House.
That was actually another story that we covered.
Ahmed the Clockmaker.
This kid deconstructs an alarm clock he got at Radio Shack and he's just the darling.
He's getting offers and job offers in trouble at school.
And then it's this great example of anti-Muslim nation and bigotry.
Goes to the White House.
But you're talking about now this kid that put the flag on James Meredith that O'Miss, he did time.
Healing time.
But how about the people?
Another big story was the death of Freddie Gray and the subsequent riots in Baltimore.
How many of those black thugs that were tearing up Baltimore, destroying police cars, burning cities, how many of them are going to jail?
Absolutely none.
And furthermore, so many of these Black Lives Matter's causes, these deaths, turn out to be totally justifiable homicides by the police.
Do you ever hear any apologies from any of the spokesmen?
Never.
It doesn't matter.
99 out of 100 are false.
One out of 100 may have some merit to it, but there's never any retraction.
Their motto ought to be ours, no retreat, no apology, no surrender.
They just do not, they never confess to being wrong about anything.
That's one of the primary principles of being a liberal in America.
I can tell you, we're never going to get done with all this.
And it's not because you're going too long.
It's just because we have so much to cover.
I'm going to try to speed through these by just mentioning these next two in passing.
The exoneration of Officer Darren Wilson, who his fact that he had the audacity to defend himself, defend his life.
Yeah, that was forgotten in a nanosecond.
You know, we just went on to the most recent black thug that got killed by the police because he resisted arrest.
Yeah, another Black Lives Matter adherent, another white-hating zealot, murdered two white television news reporters live on the air.
You don't hear anything about him, you know, two days later, but that was.
Except sympathy, and we need to feel his pain, apparently.
Cuckservatives.
Now, that was a meme that was born by the alternative right that has really caught on, and there is no better word to describe the conservative establishment than the word cuckservative.
Break that down, Keith.
That was a problem.
Well, you know that it was effective because of the way that the left howled and the way that the conservatives howled about it.
It's just a crazy reaction that these people had, and it shows you that it was right on target, James.
All right.
Another quick one, and we're going to go to Eddie very quick.
I think we can work these quick, if we go quick.
Sodomite marriage was made the law of the land, and then the subsequent resistance from Kim Davis.
30 seconds on those two things.
Kim Davis, her name has now been removed from all marriage licenses in the county in which she served as the clerk.
In other words, she's punished.
She is being eased out of office for standing up for her Christian principles.
Meanwhile, sodomite marriage, who would have imagined it was the punchline for a joke as recently as 10 years ago.
Now it's the law of the land.
The left is drunk with power.
They think they have the Midas touch.
Anything that they want, they can get like Lola in the old song.
This has been the year of Trump.
Trump has been a recurring topic on this show.
I don't think we need to talk anymore about that.
Everybody knows what's going on with that.
Obviously, Black Lives Matter has been one of the biggest stories, as has the so-called refugee crisis in Europe.
And it's really an invasion.
We've been covering that.
And of course, we have that to a lesser extent here.
The Muslim, anti-white, anti-Christian hatred that we've seen manifested in Paris and in California have been stories we've covered.
Also, go back to the very first week of the year, the Steve Scalise scandal.
He's the House whip for the GOP.
He once went to a David Duke conference, and that was supposed to be, I guess, controversial.
We had David Duke on to talk about it.
I'm surprised he didn't get the electorate chair for that.
Well, we had David Duke on to talk about that.
And wouldn't you know it, two days later, everybody was talking about it.
We actually talked to David about it.
And then two days later, he's on with Michael Spurconish on CNN and then Bill O'Reilly after I guess we proved that it would be okay to actually talk to the guy they're talking about.
Biggest story of the year, a recurring theme, the conservatives in the Southern Baptist Convention.
Me and Eddie talk about that all of the time.
The biggest single story of the year, obviously.
They actually have a guy who is a high-ranking official in the Southern Baptist Convention, Russell Moore, who is on the payroll of an organization that is bankrolled by none other than atheist in chief George Soros.
Biggest story of the year, Dylan Roof, what happened in Charleston, our response to that, the Confederate flag controversies.
That would, I think, be the biggest story of the year.
And getting back to the Confederate flag, I promised Eddie 30 seconds, and I'm going to time you, Eddie, because you're not on deck yet.
But I promised my pappy that, and I love this man.
You don't move those cords.
You know what happens.
But you wanted to say something about the kid who put the confederation on the ball.
We can't do it here all in the South Pool.
I'm not saying we do that much, but at least I beg you.
I swear to God, I beg you in blood.
You need to do something to help this kid who's in prison down there that did nothing but put a noose around a statue.
That could be my grandson.
That could be Keith's son.
That could be James's son.
That could, yeah, a little miss.
Listen, we've got to do something.
I beg y'all people, if you do something, do anything, help us out.
We will broadcast it on the radio station.
Give me a hint.
Tell me what to do.
I will lead the charge.
We cannot just talk about issues.
We've always said we've got to do something about it.
Help free this man.
I beg you.
What you have to do is petition the governor for a pardon.
Well, yeah, that's right.
Whatever it, you know, whatever it takes within the bounds of the law, but you're talking about, listen, it was in poor taste.
It was not the right thing to do.
It was not a crime, though.
It was a violation of his First Amendment rights to even be prosecuted.
You can urinate on the picture of Jesus Christ, but you can't put a Confederate flag on a statue of James Meredith, who was a David Duke supporter, ironically.
Anyway, these were just some of the stories we covered, just some we covered in the 52 weeks, the 52 Saturdays we were on with you live in calendar year 2015.
Folks, that's just a sampling.
I'll save the best for last, though, as we transition into the last half of the last show of this year.
We are going to talk about the top 10 moments of our broadcast year, both in and outside of the studios.
But before we do that, this is your last couple of seconds on the air until next year, Keith, which will be next Saturday.
Final word from you.
Go.
Okay.
The situation in Charleston, that shooting at the Mother Emmanuel Church, was used as an excuse to basically expunge Confederate symbols from the United States.
We need to have a counteroffensive on that.
Thankfully, the sons of Confederate veterans are fighting.
They're trying to take down Confederate statues in New Orleans and Memphis, elsewhere.
Stand fast, folks.
Stand fast with the political cesspool.
We're not going to go down without a struggle on that.
We'll be right back.
Exposing corruption.
Informing citizens.
Pursuing liberty.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
Listen, do you hear that sound?
It started low, but it's getting progressively louder into a crescendo, even louder, irresistible, ending in an ear-splitting blast of mass disruption.
That's the sound of America's economic and political systems crashing to the ground.
But we have a plan.
We will be ready to restore political sanity.
We will be ready to answer the call of productive America.
We will restore America's industrial base and put America back to work.
We will shut down political correctness and restore decency and positive media to America.
We will save our Constitution, our traditional way of life, our customs, and religion.
We will restore sound money and crush the debt-based system of monetary slavery.
And we will end America's foreign misadventures.
We are the American Freedom Party, and we have a plan.

This is the most urgent time in the history of Western civilization.
In the year 1900, white people of European descent comprised 35% of the world population.
Today it is less than 9% and falling fast.
Europe is being overrun with Middle Eastern immigrants, and America's founding stock is rapidly being replaced with third world peoples from around the globe.
For the last 50 years, every influential institution in this nation, our schools and universities, our media, our churches, and our employers, have promoted policies and principles that teach whites to be ashamed of their great heritage and birthright.
We who in the 1950s, the 1960s, and 1970s were the world's dominant force are now so afraid of being called racist that we were quailing towards irrelevance and extinction.

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 of 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.

Everybody in
the audience that we.
That Eddie, we had a special request for Eddie to sing along with that, but I was drawing a blank and for good reason now that I actually got the punchline of that.
Okay.
Even Megan Kelly knows Santa Claus wasn't a black man, I think.
So I think she got right in 2015.
All right.
Well, anyway, now's the time for the top 10 lists.
We do it two ways.
Now, Eddie and I are going to give the, I don't want to say official because, you know, we're all members of the team here, but Scoop Stan.
Now, I will say this about Scoop.
I'll say a lot about Scoop, but I'll also say this.
Nobody really keeps up with the comings and goings of the show or has the kind of memory with regard to what we do each and every week as Scoop does.
Scoop remembers things about the show, things we've said, people we've had on, dates, locations, newspaper articles, television comedy.
He remembers more about the history of the show than even I do.
I mean, he's just an incredible, that's his strength.
He cares about the show so much, he remembers all of this.
Now, I remember, you know, once you remind me of it, I remember it.
But, you know, you do this for 11 years.
There's some things that isn't at the very tip of your memory bank at first glance.
Scoop, since he does that, always give him the time just to give his personal top 10 list of the year.
And then we move on after I go and read back through all of the blog entries.
I compile what I think is the top 10.
And I do it as well.
And Eddie and I are going to do that in the third hour.
But now it's Scoop's time.
The top 10 moments of the Political Cess Pools Broadcast Year 2015 as seen by Scoop.
Scoop, take it away.
And thank you for compiling the list and taking the time to remember all of these good things.
No problem, James.
Good evening, James, and the rest of the Cesspool family.
Well, you thought 2014 was the best year ever.
Well, guess what?
2015 took over 2014.
Without further ado, let's start with number 10.
Number 10 is the term conservative.
Somebody somewhere, probably on social media, came up with the term conservative.
More or less, it's the term of conservative and cuckold combined.
And the floor of the Cesspool ran with it and made it our home.
Some people who may we who are conservatives include Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, so on and so forth.
But right now, we're still one of the only few media outlets around using the term conservative.
It's the perfect term to.
Well, very quickly, Scoop, I'll just offer my quick reaction to each of these as you list them.
Conservative is the perfect term.
We actually mentioned that in the last segment to describe these people.
I think we have popularized it more than anyone in the mainstream media.
We had a couple of very fun shows with that back in the summer when it was first taking over the social networking apparatus.
And whoever came up with it is a genius.
But we certainly ran with it as well, did a lot of blog entries about it, had some fun with it on the air, too.
Number nine, Scoop.
Number nine: the Amtrak crash at Philadelphia.
Turns out, James Edwards knew the operator that trained.
His name was Brandon Bostain when he worked at it weekly in Shelby County.
And then yours truly said that the reason for the crash was for Mr. Bostain's operating too fast.
Meanwhile, the media used every excuse in the world why the train crashed.
Corporate greed.
Well, that's false because Amtrak's own by the government.
No mechanical, electrical, electronic restrictions.
Well, Congress just passed that in 2015, and that was in progress.
But the one thing that nobody, I mean, nobody mentioned was that Mr. Bostain likes the company, the intimate company of other men.
All right.
Here's the thing about that.
I was in Naples, Florida, and I get this email.
You remember that there was an Amtrak crash, the Amtrak train crashed in Philadelphia, killed some people.
Scoop emails me.
I'm in Naples, Florida, oblivious to the news.
I checked my email.
He said, hey, this guy who crashed the Amtrak train was from your town, Bartlett, Tennessee.
And sure enough, I knew this guy because he was a reporter, if you can call him that, for the local little community newspaper, the Bartlett Express.
Now, it's not a real newspaper.
It's even less real than the mainstream papers.
It's basically, you know, these community papers.
You know, the top story page A1 above the fold is eight-year-old catches a catfish.
And this is the kind of paper it is.
It's all fluff.
When I ran for state representative in 2002, my district was pretty much all of Bartlett, Tennessee, the city of Bartlett, was my state house district.
And so I did a lot of business running ads with the Bartlett Express.
So I ran into Brandon a few times going into the office to place my ads for my campaign, and I thought, you know, he had some effeminate mannerisms.
Anyway, the reason this is a story is, I guess, because I knew him.
And keep in mind that until the 70s, homosexuality was classified as a mental illness.
And as Scoop mentioned, every reason under the sun for the crash of the train was brought up, except for the fact that this guy was a homosexual.
The way we correlate that is, if homosexuality is a mental illness, would you want mentally ill people driving your trains?
This guy was mentally ill.
All right, keep going, Scoop, and we'll go a lot faster going ahead.
Number eight.
Number eight, James David Manning.
We booked the YouTube sensation.
He said more about the state of the black community or the black family in eight minutes than the Democratic Party said in 50 years.
Every now and then when I do the top 10 list, I include individual guest interviews.
I think Gary Sinise was one that I put in a top 10 list one year when he was on the show, the Hollywood actor.
I didn't put any of the individual guest interviews in this year in the top 10, but certainly James Manning was a novelty and an interesting guest, and he continues to let that flamethrower blaze up there in New York, James Manning making Scoop's top 10 list.
Who's below him, Scoop?
Number seven.
Well, the racist political festival books Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson.
Now, with Reverend Peterson, I learned more about the roles of the husband and wife than any class, any college course could ever teach me.
Right.
I'm glad we had him on last week because he made your top 10 list by the skin of his chiny-chin chin.
But it was a great interview.
We didn't have him on as a token or to have him validate our work.
We had him on because there's areas of agreement, and we will talk with anyone with whom we agree on the issues that we agree about.
Jesse Lee Peterson says more about what's going on in the black community than just about anyone, including most whites.
And he's only a step behind us with regards to that, and he's a great guy.
He actually did a simulcast with Sam Bushman.
This is something that's happened since last Saturday.
On Christmas Eve, Sam Bushman and Jesse Lee Peterson were on the air together doing a simulcast on their respective shows.
So the cooperation and networking continues.
Great guy, Jesse Lee Peterson.
Listened to him in the archives last week if you missed it, the first go-around.
Who is number, or what are we down to now?
Number six?
Correct.
Number six, Dr. David Duke appears on the show, and he threatens to name names, and all hell breaks loose.
Now, the political festival is able to scoop Dr. Duke before most of the mainstream media.
We actually, I actually mentioned this a second ago when we were talking about the biggest stories we covered.
The story was the Steve Scalise so-called scandal that he actually went to a meeting of true conservatives.
He went to a David Duke meeting, and I guess that's supposed to be bad.
But everybody was talking for about a week.
I think that story broke in the early part of a week.
We had to wait until Saturday to have David on, but we had him on.
Everybody was talking about David Duke, but no one had asked him for an interview.
I guess they thought that was not allowed.
We had him on this show, as we've had him on many times in the past over the course of our run.
We had him on actually for two weeks in a row there, the first and second weeks of January.
Our first show of the year in January of 15 featured David Duke talking about what was at the time the biggest story in American politics that Steve Scalise had spoken at one of his conferences.
Well, as I said in the last segment, immediately after we had David Duke on the political cesspool, he was on CNN and on the O'Reilly Factor in the two days following.
So how about that?
Hey, listen, folks.
They follow us.
You know what?
We're going to get Scoop's top five as he sees it from 2015 right after this.
And then Eddie and I are going to give you our top 10, the official one.
Stay tuned.

We're having tonight.
Walking in a little gone away.
It was his own the king, LeBron Roll, Elvis Presley.
He's a Mississippi boy down in Tufalo, not far from where my people are from in Ponoton, in Baxton, Mississippi, in Corinth, Mississippi.
Anyway, it's the last show of the year, so we're doing our year-in review, our top 10 moments of 2015.
Now, Eddie and I are going to present what I guess you would say the show's top 10 moments, or I don't want to say official, but I've been saying official.
Scoop Stanton is the only individual member of the Political Cesspool staff that has the privilege of presenting his own personal top 10 list for the Political Cesspools year that was, because this guy is a walking, talking encyclopedia when it comes to political cesspool history.
If we ever open up a political cesspool museum, I'm going to put Scoop in a glass box wearing the tux and just let him talk and people can ask him.
He remembers everybody we've ever had.
He remembers when we had him, every show, every topic, every news article.
I'm telling you, this guy eat lives and breathes the cesspool.
It's true.
And Eddie and I were just remembering during the commercial break how Scoop came to be a part of our on-air talent.
He was a listener, and he was calling in from Spain every week.
He was stationed in Rhoda, Spain, and he would call in every week as a listener of the show.
If not every week, he would call in from time to time.
And then we said, you know, you're in Spain.
Why don't you become our European bureau chief?
And you can call in and let us know what you're observing over there in the mother country.
Then, of course, he moved back to the States and we just kept him on.
But those were the good old days.
Those were the good old days.
Scoop, what a pleasure to have you on.
I usually don't get in here until your hour, until your segment is over with.
But man, what a pleasure to work with you, Scoop.
I remember the good old days.
You used to call me from Rota, Spain.
And, you know, I'll never forget the night you came in when we used to be located out there by the Navy base in the Millington, you know, and you came in and what a pleasure that was.
And I don't know if you remember doing karaoke and barte with us, and we had some adult beverages, but I'll tell you what, we truly have a brother here.
We are brothers in this political cesspool.
And amen.
If you've ever met Scoop, I mean, there's absolutely nothing not to like about Scoop.
Scoop is just, he's a great gentleman.
And everything that James said is certainly true.
What a pleasure to have with you tonight, Scoop.
I'm really glad I got to sit in with you guys.
Well, the feeling is mutual, Eddie, and it's just like it must have been divine intervention because when I contacted James 11 years, 10, 11 years ago, he didn't know me from Adam.
I didn't know him.
And then I said, hey, I want to be on radio too.
Can I be a European correspondent?
So not knowing who I am or where I was or where I come from, he's like, okay.
And it was just a mesh made and haven't ever since.
And then we, you know, we put Sean Bergen on as a New York correspondent.
We got Matt Copperhead as our at-large correspondent.
So we're getting bit bigger and bigger.
Well, it's been a great ride, and we're fiercely loyal to one another, and that's what you have to have in a family, is a willingness to stand up and take each other's part.
And we have that.
And even though our personalities are different, we all come here under a common banner.
And because of that, and all of that that we said and more, Scoop just, you know, the show means so much to his life, as it means to all of us.
But we allow him to do this top 10 list of CCs.
And let's recap before we get to his top five.
And then in the third hour, we're going to do the top ten for the general show.
But the Philadelphia or Conservative was number 10.
The way that meme took off.
Number nine, the Amtrak crash in Philadelphia.
Number eight for Scoop was our interview with James Manning.
Number seven, our interview with Jesse Lee Peterson.
Number six, our interview with David Duke.
And we're now down to the top five.
Number five, Scoop, go.
Okay, number five, the media screwjob.
When I say media screw job, that's a play of words from Professional Wrestling's Montreal screw job where wrestler Brett Hart was leaving the Miss Man promotion, going to Ted Turner's promotion, and he did not want to lose the championship match, his native candidate.
But anyways, Mr. Edwards did an interview with the Washington Post, and he was as much quoted as anybody can be.
Now, I've known James for about 10 years now, and just reading the interview, I said, this is not the way he talks.
And then NBC Networks came to Mr. Edwards and said, hey, we want to do a television interview with you about this, that, and the other thing.
So in conversing with Sean Bergen, he decided to decline.
Jared Taylor took up where Mr. Edwards left off, and he knew it was a setup from the get-go.
So Mr. Taylor, to his credit, walked off the interview.
Well, you know, with regard to the media, we probably have more experience in the media, and I'm not talking about our own venue here, but with regards to interviews and coverage than anybody else in the pro-white movement or the explicitly pro-white movement.
And so I still do a few interviews from time to time, but I decline most of them now.
And I declined a few dozen this summer during the middle of the Confederate flag hysteria because they're just really beneath me.
You know, basically what happens with the media is that they, when they're going to do a story on you, they'll go through things that have been written about you.
They will latch on to the most extreme 1% of anything you've ever said.
And that's how they will present you.
And that's fine.
But you really don't get that much of a feedback when you do these interviews.
You know, we get far greater feedback from just doing our own show and building our own media than we do from trying to get coverage from them.
And we're better than them, so why do I want to be in their company?
I don't.
But, you know, my interview with the Washington Post, I did do that one.
It was the senior editor of the Washington Post.
I declined NBC.
That was a big story.
And there was a lot of other interviews here and there that we did.
And I'll talk more about that in the third hour.
But we've got to move very quickly here.
We have about a minute for each.
You went to Baltimore, Scoop.
Tell us about Baltimore.
Okay, with Baltimore, dope dealer Freddie Gray was arrested for dealing dope at the request of the state attorney for Baltimore City.
And in the police van, he died in custody.
And it's probably due to his own actions.
So the people got mad.
They burned down Baltimore.
You know, surely jumped my Chevrolet with infant Scoop Stanton and went through West Baltimore and couldn't tell what was burned in the 60s and what was burned later that week.
All right, so this is basically number four on Scoop's top 10 list during the height of the Baltimore riots because Scoop is he earned the name Scoop.
That's his nickname from Winston Smith.
He wants to get the scoop for the show.
He drove into Baltimore at the height of the unrest just so he could tell us what he saw.
Now, Eddie, that's commitment from one of our team members.
All right, number three, Scoop.
Hey, not only did he go to Baltimore, he went to CPAC.
Scoop, as a member of this radio broadcast, which is on AM, FM radio stations across the country, we're a mainstream show.
He got press credentials to go to CPAC.
Were you more comfortable in Baltimore at CPAC?
Tell us that story.
We've got to go quickly.
Well, in CPAC, I was able to get some time off from the warden.
So I went to CPAC, and I told the nice people, hey, I'm with the political cesspool.
Here's my business card.
Here's the website.
And then I'm walking around and there's a bunch of wonks wannabe that think they're going to be the next president or whatever.
So it's boring.
So I hung outside in the freezing cold with the League of the South.
But Lil Green football, quote-unquote, scooped the story by copying and paste our blog entry.
All right, so here's what Scoop's saying here.
He gets, you know, he wants to go check out CPAC.
He's a member of a legitimate radio program.
So he gets full press credentials, all access to CPAC, which is supposed to be the biggest conservative, so-called conservative confab annually each year in Washington.
He goes in there, hangs out for a few minutes.
Most reporters would be very thrilled to have all access at CPAC.
He goes in there, feels so uncomfortable.
He goes outside in the snow to hang out with the League of the South protesters.
And then it becomes a big news story, and everybody thinks they've got this scoop because all they did was just copy and paste our report on it from our website and talk about how horrible that CPAC gave these Nazis press credentials.
All right, that was a good one.
And Scoop made that story happen.
Not only is he recapping his top 10, he is the reason some of these entries exist.
We wouldn't have gotten CPAC credentials.
I sure as I wasn't going to fly to Washington to go to that.
But Scoop did go.
And that was the story.
All right, number two, Scoop.
Number two, Dylan Roof and the Confederate flag.
Dylan Roof shot some people in the church.
And then they're looking for correction.
Dylan Roof shot some people.
You like the Confederate flag, one of the Council Conservative websites.
So guess what?
The guns turned toward the Council of Conservative Citizens and the Confederate flag.
That's absolutely right.
This will be something we revisit the aftermath of this in the top 10, in the third hour, the official top 10.
But our coverage of Dylan Roof, what came of that?
You know, that was a horrible incident.
We wish it had never happened.
But the rally that the South put behind the Confederate flag in the weeks after that was so encouraging.
Our coverage of that, we were able to attract 500 people at Forest Park.
That was something that I'll never forget.
And we'll talk about that in the third hour.
But number one on your list, Scoop, I will go ahead and tell you is number two on mine.
Number one, in Scoop Stanton's eyes of the Political Cesspools 2015, this was a huge one.
This was the attack by a congressional committee on the political cesspool.
Now, we were probably the only mainstream radio show ever condemned by members of Congress.
So instead of turning tail and running, we pointed the guns back at them.
Figuratively speaking, at least on the radio.
But yes, indeed, folks, we were denounced by Congress.
The United States Congress denounced not just the political cesspool, but specifically James Edward Donetti Miller, who will be my guest in the third hour.
Not my guest.
He'll be with me co-hosting in the third hour.
And we give you the official top 10.
You just heard Scoop's top 10.
Scoop's Danton.
The top 10.
Scoop, we look forward to making more history with you in 2016.
