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.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I am your slightly hoarse host tonight, James Edwards.
It's Saturday evening, February the 6th.
Great to be back with you after being apart last week.
Absence, I hope, makes the heart grow fonder.
I certainly missed you guys, and it's good to be here as we have a lot to talk about last night, or this week, or tonight.
We have a lot to talk about tonight about the things that have gone on last week.
But real quick, a shout out to Sam and Eddie.
I had intended to play three hours of tapes last week because I think it's fun on a very rare occasion, once in a blue moon occurrence, to go into the archives, which are just littered with treasures.
There's so many shows in the archives that are just outstanding, so many shows that made national news.
And I was going to play a trio of those last week, but then the Oregon standoff, as you know, came pretty much to an end.
I think there's still four of them there.
But Sam Bushman has been covering this more comprehensively and better than any other journalist, reporter in the country.
And of course, he called into the Political Cesspool back the first show of January and scooped the entire national media by telling us on the air that this was taking place before anybody else knew about it.
And so since there had been a major update in that story last week, we had Sam on for an hour to break it down for you.
We thought we had to have a resolution to that story since we had invested so much in it early on.
I think Sam did a fantastic job.
And then Eddie had a guest he'd been wanting to get on, and I said, well, this would be a good week to do it.
Eddie and Texe Marrs, I thought Texe Marrs making his debut appearance was just a great guest.
And they talked about some interesting topics with regards to Ted Cruz.
And then we replayed the Buchanan interview.
One of my favorites made big time news when we originally had it.
And if you hadn't heard that interview, I know we have new listeners tuning in every week.
I wanted to replay that for y'all.
I thought it's just great.
Really shows what the political cesspool can do.
And Keith was on after that, after we had Pat on that night to kind of break it down.
Keith's with me tonight, though.
And we are going to talk about Iowa, the fallout from the caucuses.
We're going to talk about what it means for Trump, some of the dirty tricks that Ted Cruz played.
And we're going to look ahead and make some predictions for the rest of the GOP primary campaign.
Really excited to be here tonight because I have the Sam Bushman voice.
He has the natural, gravelly voice.
I have to get sick in order to have it.
So I'm channeling my inner Bushman and Alex Jones.
But Keith's got his normal voice tonight.
You know, whether I'm sick or tired or bleeding, I'm still going to be here.
I say that, I guess, and I did take off last week to get a little rest and relaxation.
But I'm back in the sand of the night.
100% mentally, if not physically.
Keith, how are you, brother?
I'm doing great.
How's my voice?
Well, we got to turn on that mic.
Here we are.
There you go.
Can you hear me now?
I can.
Okay, well, I'm doing great.
Thanks for having me on.
We're having, you know, James is burning the candle at both ends, but he's doing it in the most virtuous way possible.
It's all daddy and husband duties that is, you know, beating him from pillar to post.
He's got, what, a father-daughter dance coming up and things like that.
You've got all sorts of things on your plate.
Plus, he's been out of town for three days, so he's having to do double shifts now on getting other work done.
So we'll have to bear with James.
I told James he sounded like death eating a cracker when I came in here.
I saw an interview with Donald Trump recently.
They asked him how much he sleeps at night.
You know, this guy's running for president.
He's the front runner.
He said he gets four hours of sleep at night.
How does anybody get that much?
Welcome to the joys of fatherhood.
Yeah, that's a no.
Seriously, I don't get much more than that if that on some nights.
But hosting the show, you know, I've been here.
I actually got to the studio a couple of hours early today.
After missing last week, there was a lot of catch-up to do and posted a few things on the blog, scheduled a few things to post.
But now I'm telling you, I guess a lot of people can relate.
Keith, you're a busy man.
You work.
I work.
I guess I'm in that sweet spot, though, where I've got the radio show work, a young family, a five-year-old, a one-year-old, a wife.
It is, yeah, sleeping is just a luxury that has gone.
Well, you're one down on me.
I had three children.
Of course, Sam Bushman knocked the top out of that thing.
I don't see how in the world he functions.
Between Sam and his co-host, Kirk Crosby, they're on the Liberty Roundtable show.
They have an elementary school.
If all of their kids were still of that age, they could fill a classroom.
Yeah, they're in competition with the Duggars over.
And that's great.
That's a wonderful thing.
Oh, yeah.
No, we're not laughing at it because it's funny.
We're in awe.
We're reminded you of that because we're in awe, and it'd be something to be celebrated.
And we wish all of our folk would have families that size.
We could maybe turn this thing around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sam just said, my wife and I are perfect candidates to duplicate.
We're still in those child-bearing and rearing years.
I almost sounded like Sam.
People are going to think it's not really me tonight if I don't get over.
You've hung out with Sam so long that you're beginning to sound like him.
Yeah, my voice is only going to further deteriorate as the show goes on tonight.
But anyway, it is great to be back.
So we're going to spend the rest of this hour talking about Iowa.
And then again, as I just mentioned, second hour, we're going to talk about our predictions.
I'm going to go out on a limb.
Making political predictions is a fool's errand.
You just are not supposed to do that because when you do, you almost always get egg on your face.
Well, I am so disgusted at the media pretending like Trump was dealt some devastating blow in Iowa.
You know, he lost by, what, 4,000 votes.
We're going to break all that down.
But I have been so disgusted.
Not that it's unusual.
I'm always disgusted by the media's coverage.
But, you know, they certainly didn't say that about John McCain when he came in fourth in Iowa.
You know, Iowa very rarely picks a winner.
They picked Santorum and Huckabee in the last two terms, respectively.
Well, think about this.
How ironic is it that the Republican candidate has the first two primaries in the two bluest blue states in America, at least arguably, Iowa and New Hampshire?
It'd be hard to argue that Iowa's bluer than New York or California, but it certainly does.
But it's definitely reliably blue.
I mean, if Iowa goes red, it's because you've had a 49 or 50 state landslide like you had either in the McGovern-Nixon race in 72 or in Ronald Reagan's second term in 84 in that election.
Both of these states are as reliably blue state as you can be.
And why, in fact, that really points out a hidden problem with the primary system that we have for selecting candidates for president.
Why do we let these states go first?
The Republicans should have a separate primary in a red state.
Why do the blue states of America, where no vote, nobody in Iowa or New Hampshire, except in very unusual circumstances, is going to cast a vote that helps elect a Republican president because of the Electoral College.
It doesn't matter.
They're never going to vote a majority of the people in Iowa or New Hampshire for the Republican candidate.
Virtually, Ronald Reagan's second term, Nixon's second term were the only times I can recall when they did.
But they get to basically set the tone.
And what happens is when you have what they used to call Super Tuesday, now they're going to call it the SEC primary.
We're always faced here in the South with the argument, don't throw your vote away on somebody you really want.
You got to vote for one of these frontrunners.
And the frontrunners were chosen by Blue State America.
All right, Keith, excellent analysis.
Now, when we come back, we're going to break down Iowa in a major way.
We're just getting started, just wetting your appetite with that opening monologue or dialogue, I guess it was.
There's two of many.
Look, hey, stay tuned.
It's coming.
You don't want to miss it.
Break the bond of Big Pharma.

All right, welcome back.
We're going to break down Iowa now.
But before we do that, Keith, you want to make one final comment about the positioning of these early states that really set the tone for how the GOP primary race is supposed to play out?
Well, you know, the first reaction is that this is very ironic that Blue State America gets to choose Red State America's presidential candidate.
It's not ironic at all.
It is treachery and trickery on the part of the establishments of both parties.
The establishments of both parties are basically globalists.
And globalism is the ultimate end of liberalism.
So we have a liberal establishment.
Just like Pat Buchanan said years ago, he said that the counterculture of the 60s is the establishment of today, and the establishment of the 60s is the distant culture of today.
That's what we are, part of the distant culture.
Well, they don't want the distant culture represented by Red State America to really have any input on selecting the true leadership of this nation.
So they set the primary system up this way, I believe, on purpose, so that it basically muffles the voice of Red State America in national politics.
Well, up there in Iowa, you know, Trump had been trailing there for a while.
He has massive leads in all the other states, massive lead nationally, but he had fallen behind Ted Cruz up until about last week.
At the very end before the caucuses, the final Des Moines Register poll showed Trump with a four-point lead over Ted Cruz.
Obviously, he went on to lose by three points.
And I'll tell you why in a second.
But first, for those of you who may not know how this works, the caucus is very different.
What Iowa does when they're selecting their candidates in the Republican and Democratic caucuses, respectively, very different from how most of us vote, how New Hampshire votes, how Tennessee votes, how most states vote, in that you go into your polling place, you go into your private booth, and you cast your ballots with the curtain closed.
In Iowa, you go to your caucus site, whatever caucus site is designated for your district.
It could be a firehouse, a school gymnasium, what have you.
Sometimes it's even people's houses.
And you do it in public.
You get together, and then at the time that the caucus is supposed to start, you have a debate, and you have to show your hands publicly who you are going to support.
And then before the voting begins, people try to talk you out of supporting that candidate.
Ted Cruz had a big ground game in Iowa.
It is reported that he had 5,000 paid operatives that I guarantee you were earning their money that night.
And so, you know, that really shouldn't be.
I'll stop talking.
It really shouldn't make a difference however you do it.
You should have the courage of your convictions.
You should go in there.
But it is a different dynamic.
So with that being said, Ted Cruz did narrowly defeat Donald Trump in the Iowa caucus.
Ted Cruz got 51,000 votes.
Donald Trump got 45,000.
I think there were grand total about 160,000 votes cast.
Ted Cruz got 27%.
Donald Trump got 23%.
Ted Cruz won eight delegates.
Donald Trump won seven delegates.
Now, the media is pumping this up, even though Trump had always been positioned to do less well in Iowa than his other states because of all of the major investment that Ted Cruz had put there.
Ted Cruz had to win Iowa.
Donald Trump didn't.
Donald Trump very nearly did win Iowa.
But at the end of the day, 150,000, 160,000 total vote cast in the Iowa GOP caucuses.
Ted Cruz is supposed to be the frontrunner now because he got 51,000 votes and only one more delegate.
I don't think so.
I'm going to tell you what I think is going to happen going forward.
But Keith, chime in right there, and then I'm going to tell you some of these dirty tricks that the Cruz campaign laid out that could very well have made the difference in the four-point lead Donald Trump had before the caucus and the three-point defeat he supposedly sustained.
Well, you're absolutely right.
This is not your typical primary, the one they have in Iowa.
Basically, what you have to do, what you have to do in order to actually cast a vote in the Iowa caucus primary, caucus-style primary, you have to sit and endure hours of being haranged by candidates, surrogates out there, and listen to their spi.
It's not like we normally do, for example, in Tennessee or what the people in New Hampshire will do is just go and cast your vote.
You do your prep before you go in to vote.
On this, you have to sit there and endure about four hours at the minimum of speeches by partisans for everybody from Chris Christie to Jeb Bush.
And you've got to understand Ted Cruz has something very, he is very similar to Hillary Clinton in one respect.
They are both financed by Goldman Sachs.
I would not at all be surprised if in every one of those caucus settings where the people vote and then they, after hearing these presentations, that there was a designated speaker who is a paid operative by Goldman Sachs on behalf of Ted Cruz holding forth, wearing people out.
I think a lot of Trump's support, basically, since they're not getting paid, they don't hang in there for four hours and they may have left or they may have just had enough and gotten out.
But nonetheless, the fact that he came in with no ground game and maybe he's learned the necessity of having a ground game now.
That's having paid operatives on the ground.
So far, even though he's a billionaire, he's showing how he became a billionaire by being cheap.
He's been running a campaign on the cheap.
He depends on getting free publicity.
That's why he says, I think, things that sound so outrageous to these Miss Manners, Miss Grundy type of commentators that, oh, he's a vulgarian, this, that, and the other.
Well, if you want to get free publicity, that's what you do.
You say things that sound outrageous, like he says he's somebody's allowed to come up and say, well, Trump's for killing babies.
Well, no, Trump is for killing baby cockroaches or baby rats or something like that.
You know, it would be, this is just an example.
I'm being using a silly example, but he will say something that is inflammatory.
And then when you break it down and hear what he's actually proposing, it makes perfect sense.
But see, this is why I think, you know, you can't just run it with the sizzle rather than the stake.
He's going to have to have a ground game.
He's going to have to invest in the ground game.
But I think he's going to learn from this.
He's going to do it.
And I predict that he's going to win New Hampshire.
And I think he's going to win the SEC primary that's coming up, I think, the following Tuesday after that.
And we're going to talk more about what we think, what we foresee in our oracle here that we have at AM 1600 in the second hour.
But you're right, Keith.
Cruz had been preparing his ground games since 2012 in Iowa.
Trump didn't even plan to run until last June.
He has run a very heavy media.
And he has a ton of money.
Cruz has a ton of money, and he's not sitting on it because it's not his money.
Goldman Sachs is financing him.
His wife is an operative with Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs is the reason why Hillary has all these operatives, all these soundbites, all these ads.
And Goldman Sachs is the reason that Ted Cruz does as well.
I'm not trying to say it was a good thing.
You know, losing is never good.
You want to win.
I wanted Trump to win.
And I'll tell you this.
I felt, I mean, of course, I've been partial to Trump for many months now.
We've talked about it on the radio.
I actually felt myself a little bit crestfallen when he lost Iowa.
You know, it's the first time I think I've emotionally invested in a candidate since I ran in 2002.
But I think it was probably good, James, because this is a wake-up call.
But you've got to, you've got to take this seriously.
You've got to spend some money getting political operatives on the ground because they're the ones, they're getting paid.
So they're going to stay there through the four-hour caucus process.
He did obviously have ground game and infrastructure.
Trump did.
It wasn't to the extent that Cruz did.
I mean, he's running a serious campaign.
But, yeah, I felt myself rooting for him.
And I think when we come back after this next commercial break, we're going to start breaking down.
Now you know the results.
You know how a caucus is run.
I'm going to break down two incredible dirty tricks.
One of them I think flirts with being absolutely illegal.
Trump's talking about it.
You probably know about it.
And we're going to tell you about it in our own words when we come back.
The dirty tricks from the Ted Cruz campaign.
Wait till you hear about this.
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.

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.

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.

Well, Donald Trump is calling it complete voter fraud.
He is threatening a lawsuit seeking to nullify the results of the Iowa caucus and render Ted Cruz's standing obsolete.
Of course, we don't expect that to happen.
But here's what's going on.
As we said, you go into these Iowa caucuses, very strange.
Once you arrive, you're subjected to debate, peer pressure, dirty tricks from paid operatives before you get to vote.
And of course, you have to vote in full public view with the show of hands.
Now, listen to what went on the night of and the day before the Iowa caucus when these trained cruise operatives were at the caucus sites earning their money.
The campaign itself has been found guilty in the court of public opinion, at least, of potentially illegal chicanery.
Here's the story from CNN.
Give me a minute to break it down, Keith.
A lot to say.
I'm going to toss it over to you.
I'm burning hot about this, though.
I'll tell you what.
Donald Trump on Wednesday accused Senator Ted Cruz of stealing the Iowa caucuses, calling for either a new vote there or the results to be nullified.
Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa caucus, either a new election should take place or the Cruz results should be nullified, Donald Trump wrote on Twitter.
Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa.
He stole it.
That's why the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than he anticipated.
Trump also slammed Cruz for sending out deceitful mailers that shared voters' caucus attendance records with their neighbors and warned voters of voter violation.
This voter violation certificate gave a failing grade to the unsuspecting voter and told them they had to clear it up by voting for Cruz.
Now, this looked like it was a very, I got a picture of it on our website, folks, thepoliticalcesspool.org.
This looked like it came from the Iowa Secretary of State and appeared as though there could be legal ramifications if these people didn't go vote and vote for Cruz.
Now, you say, well, what idiot would believe that?
Look at the thing.
If you didn't know much.
And most people don't, you would go in and probably vote for Cruz after receiving this.
And remember, we're only talking about the difference in a couple of points.
That was the difference between a win and a loss.
But in addition to that, the Ted Cruz campaign put out a press release, a release, a Twitter went all over the place just a couple of minutes before the Iowa vote started saying that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race, was going to be suspending his campaign, and that they should caucus for Cruz instead.
All right, so, and of course, Donald Trump and Ben Carson both are crying foul over this, and rightly so.
It basically looked as though, perhaps, it didn't say this, but if you read between the lines, perhaps even Carson had endorsed Cruz at that point.
So here's what's happened.
Let me break it down for you.
Two things.
The Cruz campaign has its people in the caucus sites telling people before voting begins that Carson is suspending his campaign and that they should now caucus for Cruz.
Now, this alone could have given him a bump of a couple of thousand votes, which was the actual difference between him and Trump.
However, in my opinion, the Carson misinformation that the Cruz campaign put out pales in comparison to these voter violation mailouts that the Cruz campaign sent to voters in Iowa the day before the caucuses.
Again, this was prepared to look like an official mailout from the Iowa Secretary of State.
Voters were sent something that looked like a legal reprimand.
It had given them a failing grade and instructed them that in order to improve their score, they must attend the caucus and vote for Ted Cruz.
Now, I am telling you now, this will come back to haunt Cruz.
It's going to motivate Trump to even greater lengths than what we've seen previously.
But I want to break down this.
This is the final thing for me, and I'm going to turn it to Keith.
I'm looking at these pictures right now of this voter violation certificate that was sent out.
It's on our website.
Take a look yourself.
In big bold letters, red letters, of course, election alert voter violation.
It doesn't have a return address.
It looks as though it comes from the Iowa Secretary of State, though, because when you open up, you have something that looks very legal.
It's on yellow paper, voting violation in red lettering at the top of it.
It said, it reads, you are receiving this election notice because of low expected voter turnout in your area.
Your individual voting history, as well as your neighbors, are public record.
Your score is published below.
Caucus on Monday to improve your score.
Vote Ted Cruz.
And it has the person's full name as well as the full names of their neighbors with the big fat grade F. Important notice, voting registration and voter history records are public records distributed by the Iowa Secretary of State.
Wouldn't you, Keith, if, I mean, I know you're a lawyer, so you wouldn't.
And I've been around politics long enough to know about dirty tricks.
But if you receive something like this, you get something that says violation.
You must go in order to improve your grade.
It looks as though it says further action needed.
That action, obviously, is to go and vote for Cruz.
If you saw this, wouldn't you think, well, man, I wasn't really going to do that, but I guess I better go do it.
I don't want to get in any trouble.
Do you think enough people did that to make up between that and the Carson thing to make up a 4,000, 3,000 vote difference?
Well, this is mind-boggling.
So much for the secret ballot, apparently.
So much for Cruz the Christian, too.
I want to point that out.
This is despicable.
I am absolutely on fire now to see Ted Cruz go down.
Think about this.
They're up here getting information tailored to every person that they send out, telling them about their voting record, and assuming that it's accurate information, which I assume it is because they say it's public record, tells you again, you think you're going in there to cast a secret ballot.
It's anything but that.
Well, just imagine, you know, if you had any legitimate skepticism, which most people would, I would.
And then I see my voting record over the past year or past several years out there in glorious living color on this mailer that I got.
Boy, that would cause you to step back.
That would really cause you to step back.
And, you know, also, this is the time of year when all of us are watching on the television on the news.
They're always telling us things like.
You know, there's some type of scam going on where people are calling up saying they're from the IRS and you've got to go down to an ATM and draw out money and send it to us or else we're going to come have you arrested or whatnot because you owe the IRS all this money and you hear all these ads all the time about how the IRS is the most aggressive collection agency in the world.
So there are always people that will fall for that.
This is even tougher than that.
This is as if those people that are sending you that thing say, here is your record of payments over the past 10 years to the IRS.
Well, that's the type of thing that would drive a lot of people to conclude this really is from the IRS.
Well, this is something that would cause people to say, well, rather than putting this in the circular file, maybe I need to respond to this because it sounds like I'm in trouble.
Well, it said time-sensitive action required.
It didn't list that it came from the Secretary of State, but it said this was public record made available by the Secretary.
Look, I mean, you could certainly infer, and that's what they wanted you to do.
You could infer that the only action you had to go or perhaps there would be a fine or some sort of a punishment if you didn't go and caucus for Cruz.
Now, again, we're not dealing with high-information people here that would fall for this, but we could be dealing with enough that would have made a 3,000-vote swinging.
Well, there are people that go to their ATM and pay money with less of a presentation than this particular flyer presented.
You got to look at the picture on our website, folks.
I'm going to say it again, thepolitical cesspool.org.
Look up the blog entry entitled Cruise Plays Dirty Tricks.
You've got to see this.
And you got to think, if you weren't a listener of the political cesspool, who was so informed and intelligent, if you were just a normal American, would this affect you?
And you got to say there's a chance.
That, plus the Carson kerfuffle and them, you know, all CNN reported was that Carson was flying to Florida after the Iowa caucuses, that he was going down there to get some of the money.
Even the talking heads at Fox News, which is supposedly the most conservative of all the news networks, even the day after this, they were still saying, we don't really believe Trump is going to Florida to get, in fact, Glenn Beck was saying.
Well, you're talking about Carson.
Yeah, right, Carson.
He's saying, well, I don't, Glenn Beck and his operatives are saying, I really don't believe that Carson was going down there to get clothes.
Why didn't he go to men's warehouse and buy a couple of suits?
My gosh, he's a multi-millionaire.
This excuse doesn't hold water.
He's just getting prepared to drop the bomb that he's going out of the primary business.
He's going to drop his candidacy.
Yeah, but Cruz didn't know that.
And Cruz had no authority to say that that had happened.
But the point I'm trying to make is that the talking heads are still running with this.
And certainly Glenn Beck is as much a talking head as Megan Kelly or anyone else.
He's in the tank against Trump, just like Megan Kelly is.
Glenn Beck is in the tank for Cruz.
Bill O'Reilly, you know, every now and then I like O'Reilly.
I don't like him a lot, but every now and then I like him.
And I liked him a couple of nights ago.
He excoriated CNN and Cruz for this behavior.
And even Carl Rove, talk about a blindhog getting its Acorn.
Even Carl Rove said the Cruz campaign or Cruz supporters should be horrified.
See, people need to take that to heart because these are people that are in the tank against Trump.
And of course, if you don't know much, you just hear what the news report says.
What you're going to conclude is that, as Cruz said, this is a Trumper tantrum, but it's not.
There's a lot to react to here.
And a reasonable person who actually looks at the record is going to take it much more seriously than the Cruz campaign wants you to.
Hey, but be calm and courageous, as the Bible says.
We're going to look ahead now.
That was Iowa.
New Hampshire is coming up.
And Trump was in Arkansas a couple of days ago.
Let's talk about that when we come back.
Stay tuned.
Are you familiar with the term vigor?
Strength in body and mind?
He pursued his tennis game with vigor, for example.

As I mentioned before the break, Donald Trump was in Little Rock, Arkansas on Wednesday.
And wouldn't you know it, the political cesspool's own Matt the Copperhead was there, and he's going to tell us all about it.
Matt, I know you're at work tonight, but thanks for taking the time to give us a brief report on what you saw live at a Trump rally at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock.
You bet, James.
And this is how it went down.
Last night, the Donald Trump was in town and spoke before the fire marshal and the head of the Coliseum came out and said the official count was $11,500.
And I had a park when I got there.
I could tell right away it was going to be jam-packed.
I parked three blocks, which is enough for me to walk it.
But there was two lines of protesters, the usual suspects, social justice warrior scum.
And the likes of them, you know, right off the bat, you know, these are people still living at Mommy and Daddy, still on the teat of society.
And, you know, believe it or not, they had these guys that call themselves bromies.
I guess they were Barney's bromies.
You ever heard of that?
Guys that are into My Little Ponies.
Unbelievable.
Just I went straight to the leader of the rabble and say, hey, listen, what's your main beef here?
Well, Trump wants to build a wall.
Wait a minute.
If you're for Bernie Sanders, he's an ardent supporter of the Zionist apartheid state of Israel.
And they have a damn wall, and they're against the Palestinians.
So think about that.
So that kind of quelled them a bit.
And I walked on.
It was Secret Service, full detail, uniform section.
Got in.
I have to admit that Donald kept us waiting a little longer than anticipated, but came out, gave an awesome crowd raising speech.
You know, he tends to be a little repetitive and redundant, but he's getting his message out, and that's what the main thing is.
And you had some of these social justice scum that came in and were going to start problems, and they were dealt with rather quickly.
They were handled like a petulant child having a meltdown at the checkout counter of your local grocery road.
Yeah, Chuck E. Cheese at the counter that didn't get the lollipop they wanted.
They were put in arm locks and extorted right out right quick.
And as I was standing, I had one over to the left of me and five other of his comrades came over.
I looked over and right off the bat, you had this Southeast Asian guy with a purple Patagonia jacket.
So I knew what time it was.
So you're here for the opposition.
I bet.
Oh, yeah, I'm a Bernie Sanders.
I run his campaign here.
So I said, well, you know, I give you props for having the Wavos to step up here.
But if you're going to start something, I guarantee you're going to be bounced like an Albanian cashier's check.
And so I thought of my, sorry, sir?
No, I was just saying, you saw that.
You saw, you actually texted me.
I'll let the people know.
You texted me live from the event on Wednesday night, and you were telling me the SJWs are getting the boot.
That's right.
That's right.
And they were right, I mean, right next to me, their ringleader.
You know, I told this subcontinental sodomite, you know, you make your move.
That's what's going to happen if you try.
He looked around to his compatriots and bowed face and left the building.
So that's the long and short of it of the Trump in Little Rock.
But two questions before you go.
Two questions, Copperhead, before you go.
Number one, and I'll ask them both at once if you can keep them separated and then answer them both when I turn it back over to you.
Number one, what was it?
I know.
What was it like for you personally to be at that rally and in the presence of something like that, of this machine?
And secondly, did it seem as though Donald Trump had regained his footing after getting a slight dent in Iowa?
Well, listen, coming off the hills of the Iowa caucus and his brilliant tactical move he did against Fox News and Bleeding CNX Tuesday, the likes of Megan Kelly.
He's running strong, got a momentum.
You know, the caucus is just a marble chute with the onesie twosie rules that are crooked as a hound's leg.
You know, let's move forward.
Hound's hind legs.
That's it.
That's it.
Well, Copperhead, thanks so much.
I know, like we reported, you are at work right now and taking a quick break to give us a call.
Thank you, brother.
Thanks for calling in.
I'm glad you were able to go there.
It can't be stopped.
This is definitely a movement that's got full momentum, and the inertia will not be stopped.
God bless you guys.
Bye-bye.
Thank you, buddy.
Matt the Copperhead there in Arkansas on Wednesday night where he was in attendance at the big Donald Trump rally.
11,500 may not seem like a, well, it's a big number no matter how you slice it, but as far as the stadium, that is more than the capacity of the stadium, though, where he was at.
It's a small spade.
Well, you know, we don't have Goldman Sachs financing like Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton.
But nonetheless, we managed to have boots on the ground.
We have a person, our man in Havana, at all of these key places where news is being made.
And this is just another example of it.
Yeah, between Sean Bergen, Scoop Stanton, and Sam Bushman.
Well, of course, Sam, but I'm talking about the correspondence, Scoop and Sean and the Copperhead.
Scoop, by the way, is out tonight.
He was out last week, too, because of the unusual lineup we had with Eddie and a tape, and then Sam covering Oregon.
But Scoop will be back next week.
But now we've got tremendous assets here, and it's great to have somebody call in with an eyewitness report.
With regards to Little Rock, though, I'm going to read this quickly here.
This is a report from the event that Matt was at and was just talking to us about.
Associated press piece.
Associated pests.
I like it.
Donald Trump back in fighting form told a record crowd at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock on Wednesday night that he believes he won the Iowa caucuses.
Actually, I think I came in first.
He told a cheering crowd of more than 11,500 people who packed into Barton Coliseum.
Mr. Trump, who placed second in Iowa, officially, I guess you could say, was continuing a theme that he had been unspooling over the previous 24 hours that, in his view, Senator Ted Cruz had, in fact, stolen the Iowa election.
Mr. Cruz was declared the winner, 27%, to Trump's 24% at various sites throughout the day, including on Twitter and the Boston Herald.
Mr. Trump said that the Cruz campaign had deceitfully told voters Monday that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race with the expectation that they would then caucus for Cruz.
The Carson campaign has also accused the Cruz campaign of dirty tricks.
Mr. Carson had not dropped out.
Mr. Trump, the story continues.
This is actually a New York Times piece, not AP.
But Mr. I know that because they always refer to people as Mr. That's how they write.
Mr. Trump said Wednesday that the caucuses should be nullified.
We reported that earlier and that Iowa should hold its caucuses again.
He might even file a lawsuit suing to nullify the elections and that by his calculation, he was the winner.
Mr. Trump seemed to have been knocked off his game temporarily after Iowa, while the polls in New Hampshire show him with a big lead over his Republican rivals.
But in Little Rock, he came roaring back.
You know, I'll say this about New Hampshire.
New Hampshire, it is a blue state.
It's never going to vote Republican.
But the people there who do vote Republican are relatively reactionary.
It's sort of an anomaly.
I was up in Maine earlier this year, and I was talking about the people in New Hampshire because they did vote for Pat Buchanan, and they are voting so heavily, or it appears to be, will vote so heavily in favor of Trump.
So there is something, there's an independent Maverick Street from, well, they're populous.
Yeah, there you go.
They're just populists.
We're the populist conservative radio show, for example.
We've said that from the first time we were on the air.
We're not white nationalists.
We're not all these other things that we're described as being.
We're not white identitarians.
What we are is we're populist conservatives, and the Republican minority in New Hampshire is as well.
Well, we're pro-white.
We're pro-white.
I mean, there's no doubt that everything we do is through the lens of what is good for our people.
But there are all sorts of people that want to put names on us, but basically what we are is populist conservatives.
And like all populists, we're interested in the little guy, the disadvantaged people, which in today's America happens to be white people.
Well, we prefer, I prefer, you prefer to be known as that, as a paleoconservative.
I don't populate.
I think populist conservative, I think, is even better than paleo conservative.
That's fine.
Even Bill Johnson, though, who I respect greatly, does refer to himself as a white nationalist.
And as I said, we are white and we are nationalists.
I just don't like that term because of the pejorative, the way the media uses it.
If you want to call yourself an identitarian, you could do that too.
It's not for me.
Just think about it.
But we're all pulling in the same direction.
All of these people, regardless of what they prefer to be called, we're working together.
Yeah, do I really believe that we're going to create an all-white nation sometime?
No.
Okay, and that's not.
Would you be opposed to it?
No, but on the other hand, it's just pie in the sky.
What we need to do is we think that we have the same right that every other racial and ethnic group does to have a sense of solidarity with our own kind.
Well, and we, you know, I think certainly I've seen where you live, Keith.
You know where I live.
We certainly find communities that reflect what people like Bill Johnson.
And so do the liberals.
We have liberals that are neighbors, both of us.
And this is the way that it's, what was it that it was either Bob Whitaker or Joe Sobrin, I think, who said that in terms of nesting habits, liberals have the same nesting habits as the Ku Klux Klan.
Well, he said, yeah, it's a great quote.
One of my all-time favorites.
When it comes to their mating and migratory habits, liberals are indistinguishable from members of the Ku Klux Klan.
And there, of course, exist all white ethnostates.
Look at Iceland.
Of course, that happened organically and wasn't done purposefully, but we're certainly not going to recreate Iceland here in Memphis, believe me that.
But let me say this since we're on the topic.
What's with evangelicals?
Let's keep that question right there, and we'll get back to that after these words from our sponsor.
I'm going to mark down the word evangelicals.
We'll tackle that at the top of the second hour.
Stay tuned.
Another hour of the political cesspool is in the can, but don't go away.
