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.
When all the bells were ringing, the night they go racing down.
And all the people were singing.
Welcome, everybody, to the third hour of tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool, where we kick off Confederate History Month, which is an officially designated month each year by several state governments in the South for the purpose of recognizing and honoring the glorious history of the Confederate States of America.
April has traditionally been chosen as Confederate History Month because Confederate Memorial Day falls during that month for many of these states.
Also, it was April of 1861 when the Confederacy was first formed and April of 1865 when it fell.
Confederate Memorial Day, also known as Confederate Decoration Day in Tennessee and Confederate Hero Day in Texas, is an official holiday and or observance in the South as a day to honor those who died fighting for the CSA.
The brave sons of the South were outnumbered and outsupplied, but never outfought.
And here at the Political Cesspool, we certainly do our part on air to contribute to the festivities.
And as you know, during each live broadcast of the show this month in April, you can expect at least one full hour to be devoted to all things southern.
Old times there are not forgotten here in Memphis.
You listen to that song and the pride and the sorrow of the lyrics of the night they drove all Dixie down.
There's actually some real history behind that song and we'll get to that later this hour.
But nations are bound together by blood and soil.
You know that.
They're also bound together by a distinct culture that separates them from surrounding areas, which the South still has today.
If you travel in the United States, you're in the South.
It's a totally different culture.
It's a totally different nation than the rest of the country.
So nations are bound together by blood and soil, by a distinct culture, but also by suffering.
Real nations are forged by the suffering that their people endure.
And with the exception of Germans, no people have suffered more in recent history than white Southerners.
A few years ago, a movie was released by Warner Brothers called Gods and Generals, and it's a very fair look at one stage of the war.
It came out in the early 2000s, but they re-released it in 2011, because that was the 150th anniversary of the onset of the war, 2011.
And wouldn't you know that Warner Brothers came to the Political Cest Pool to ask us to help them promote the re-release.
Now, this is a multi-billion dollar studio coming to us.
We don't make enough money.
We don't bring in enough contributions to pay the salary of one production assistant, and they're coming to us to help them promote it.
Well, we did it not because we like Warner Brothers, but because we love the movie.
I think this movie really objectively looks, using historical records and documents, at why and how that war was fought.
Let's play the first clip here, which is Robert E. Lee refusing the command of the Union Army.
Let's listen.
Allow me to get to the point, sir.
I have been authorized by President Lincoln himself, with the full blessing of the War Department, to offer you full command of the Army with the rank of Major General.
This army being raised to quell this rebellion and, of course, to preserve the Union.
I assume this army is to be used to invade those areas, to eliminate the rebellion by force.
Yes, sir, the federal government has been challenged by these rebels who have been most effective in changing the sentiments of various state legislatures, challenging our Constitution and challenging our central government.
The attack on Fort Sumter cannot be ignored.
General, my home is right there across the Potomac.
While you can see Arlington House from your front door, my family is spread all over this part of Virginia.
If you invade the South, your enemy territory will be there right across that river.
Well, sir, there is no great outcry for secession in Virginia.
It's not a foregone conclusion that Virginia or Tennessee, Arkansas, or Kentucky will join the rebellion.
My friend, may I humbly submit that you're mistaken about Virginia.
As you know, the legislature is convening in Richmond this very day to discuss the very issue of secession.
Now, perhaps you know their mind better than they themselves.
And I regret to say the President's hasty calling up of 75,000 volunteers to subdue the rebellion in the cotton states has done nothing to ameliorate the crisis.
It has only deepened it.
I trust you're not being too hasty yourself, Colonel.
This is a great opportunity for you to serve your country.
My country, Mr. Blair?
I never thought I lived to see the day that a president of the United States would raise an army to invade his own country.
No, Mr. Blair, I cannot lead it.
I will not lead it.
I'm sorry to hear you say that, sir.
I fear you're making a most dreadful mistake.
Would you please convey my deepest sense of honor and gratitude to the President, but I must decline his offer.
Please tell him, please be clear, I have never taken my duties lightly, but I have no greater duty than to my home, to Virginia.
Of course, that is from the movie, Gods and Generals. was not the real Robert E. Lee speaking that, but those were his thoughts and words played by Robert Duvall, who is a descendant from Robert E. Lee, if you can believe it, the actor Robert Duvall descends from that family line.
That gives you an idea of the mindset of the Confederates and of the Confederacy.
And I'm going to bring Eddie on in the next segment after the clip, but I was in Virginia recently, and it offered me the opportunity to make a side trip to Lexington, Virginia, where I visited the graves last October of Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson.
They're buried very near to each other in Lexington.
These Confederate icons, about a mile from one another, are buried in this absolutely picturesque college town of about 7,000 people.
And after spending a couple of hours there enjoying the citizens and the scenery of Lexington, it became very apparent to me why Lee could not be compelled by Lincoln to raise his sword against his state.
It was an incredibly profound experience for me.
Better men never lived and their memories should always be honored.
Amen, people.
Amen.
And when we come back, we'll talk more about it and get Eddie's take.
We're going to put up those pictures of me with the graves of Lee and Jackson on the website this week.
Thank you for that.
All too well, James.

So seen any good movies lately?
No, not really.
Why do you say it like that?
It's just that those movie trailers are so deceptive.
You know, like I'll see a commercial for something that looks like a really fun, romantic comedy.
And I go to the theater.
Well, that's $7.50 I'll never see again.
Disappointed?
I'm disgusted is a better word.
Hey, I did finally find a way to know a movie's content before I go see it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's this website, pluggedinmag.com.
Lets me choose the movies I want to see intelligently.
Tells me what's good about a movie, what's bad.
Not only that, but it does the same thing with music and TV shows.

Well, we just walked out of a movie last week.
Makes me wish I'd checked it out first.

The nation middle and taken the daily things.
The night and no more peace in God.
All right, everybody.
Continuing on with Confederate History Month.
We're kicking it off.
And again, I think these clips just offer you a very authentic look.
As we continue on in the weeks to come this month, we're going to be having interviews with different guests and experts on this topic.
And we're going to be breaking it down in greater detail in our own words and sharing our own stories and reflections on Confederate History Month.
But this movie, which is very unusual for a modern movie, it came out in the early 2000s.
It represented the Confederate cause very objectively and very fairly.
Obviously, these are actors playing the roles of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, who we're about to hear from, but the script of the movie was based off personal correspondence and articles and things of the time.
So even though you're not hearing from actual Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson, you are hearing actors recite their words and thoughts in this film.
And one of Eddie's favorite clips we're about to play, we played these last year, and we've played them before, but the audience is always growing and it never hurts to hear them again.
Last year, when the Confederate flag was under such attack by the vandals and Visigoths of multiculturalism, we played these in some of the most emotional and powerful shows we've ever had.
It was, I think, last end of June throughout July.
We were really taking on these issues.
It wasn't Confederate History Month at the time, but we were fighting back in defense of the South.
We played these clips then, but we're playing them again tonight.
Listen to Stonewall Jackson tell Jeb Stewart why he believes the South was right in fighting this war.
From the movie Gods and Generals, here it is.
Lieutenant Colonel Stewart performed for duty, sir.
Colonel Stewart.
That's an impeccable hat, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Tell me, Colonel Stewart, use tobacco?
No, sir.
Not any phone.
Neither do I. Find I like it too much.
Sit down.
Understand from your record that you are West Point, Class of 54.
Served since in the cavalry, Fort Clark, Texas, operations against Apache, Comanche.
Most impressive, you are Native Virginian.
Fought with Longstreet and you, sir.
Nasty business.
Merciless climate.
Glad to be home, sir.
The Apache were defending their homes as we will be defending ours.
If we fight as well as the Apache, I pity the Yankee invader.
General Stewart, if I had my way, we would show no quarter to the enemy.
No more than the Redskins showed your troopers.
The black flag, sir.
If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property.
It is the prelude to anarchy.
Infidelity, the ultimate loss of free and responsible government on this continent.
It is the triumph of commerce, the banks, factories.
We should meet the federal invader on the outer verge of just and right defense and raise at once the black flag.
No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides.
Our political leadership in Richmond is too timid to face the reality of this coming war.
He should look to the Bible.
It is full of such wars.
Only the black flag will bring the North quickly to its senses rapidly in the war.
Well, Colonel, one way or the other, the South will give them a warm reception.
You'll be in charge of the cavalry in the Harpers Ferry District.
Your experience and your zeal will be invaluable.
thank you sir and colonel know that i will tell my men always to gallop toward the enemy but try to wait uh stay uh Stonewall Jackson in that movie was played expertly by Stephen Lang.
And Eddie, I know that's your favorite clip from the film.
And everything that he said would happen if the North won has happened.
It's been the triumph of banks and commerce.
It has been the loss of free and responsible government.
And it has been the prelude to anarchy, which we see now on the streets in places like Ferguson and Baltimore.
Everything the Confederates were fighting to prevent happening has occurred in the years since their defeat.
And still to this day, the South offers the moral rudder of this country.
It would have been a better world if the South had won.
Your response to that, Claire.
You are so right.
And do not let me forget to bring in the black flag.
But I'm going to start with Robert Duvall's mention when he said that he never thought he would live to see the day an American president would raise an army of 75,000 men to invade his own nation.
Well, people, I've lived through that happening twice, not with 75,000 men, but I lived through when that traitor general became President Eisenhower sent federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas.
I also saw that traitor J.F.K. send troops into Birmingham, Alabama.
I've lived through that.
You know what?
And we're seeing the same, we're seeing that same bloodline invade the South actually in the entire nation right now, only on a different rate.
I think a different way.
I think of the way the Trump election is being stolen right now in broad daylight.
That's just one episode of what I'm talking about.
We're talking about the triumph of the banks and the factories.
With that same battle we're having today with the banks and the factories running his knees here in the United States and the whole world.
What is going on then?
As a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, the same banking forces loaned money.
They try to control money in the South in the Southern United States and the North.
The Southern, the Rothschilds, through their agent Lamont came into the South when the South was on its knees and its bonds were worth almost nothing.
They came in.
This is how low down these people are, people.
This is what they did.
They came in and bought the Confederate bonds for pennies, absolute pennies on the dollar, thinking that when the South lost, that the North would come in and force the prostrate South who couldn't even eat.
They would come in and force them to somehow come up with enough money to make good on those bonds to every last penny.
They came in and they raped the women in the South.
They came in and they killed the small boys and the old men that were too old to fight.
Well, look at what they did in Sherman's March to the Sea.
That was a prelude to what this godless government did in Dresden, Germany, a completely defenseless civilian population.
They did it to their own people, their own countrymen.
We were Christians in Germany.
We're Christians here.
And I say, I say into these heartless satanic people, Amen, General Jackson.
We're going to honor you, sir.
We're going to raise the black flag even higher than you did, sir, if it's possible.
We honor you.
Rhetorically speaking, we are going to raise the black flag.
We're never going to be backed down.
We're never going to be intimidated.
You're never going to shut us up.
You can try to turn our people against us, our friends against us.
You can try to get us out of our jobs, which that's happened.
You can try to get us right out of our church.
We will, sir.
We are going to rout you out, you den of vipers.
The same den of vipers that we hear that Jesus Christ threw out of the temple in Jerusalem.
That same bloodline den of vipers that were running the civil war that turned the United States, the South against the North and the North against the South.
That same den of vipers are right here today, sir.
And there's one of them is in Nashville, and he just represents one of the many vipers of the den of vipers.
And we are going to raise the black flag and we're going to run your sorry tales out to the sea.
Whether we win or lose is irrelevant.
As Robert Elizabeth said, Exactly.
Do your duty in all things.
You cannot do more.
You should never wish to do less.
Those are words of wisdom from Robert E. Lee.
And so whether we win or lose, we're not going to be made to feel guilty.
We're supporting a righteous cause and righteous people.
General Johnston, the Confederate general at the Battle of Shiloh, said, They said, Sir, we're totally outnumbered so many thousands.
He said, Sir, I don't care if there was a million, but we're outnumbered by a million.
We're not backing down.
Charge.
Charge the bandits.
Well, they were always outnumbered, and they never, never, we're never failed to take the battle to the enemy.
And really, Nick Method Forest is the epitome of that.
We got to take a break.

Like my father before me, I'm over the land.
And like my father above me, you just make me great.
But a Yankee, a lady in his grave.
And I swear by the blood below my feet.
You can't breathe and came back up when he lived in me.
The light people danced in the world.
And all the bills are raining.
If you think about it, the South really didn't lose, and it's impossible for the South to lose because we carry their genes in us.
They are alive in us.
Their spirit is still stirring in our soul, and that's why we're here doing this today.
Yeah, the Confederate government fell, but the spirit of the Confederacy lives on in the hearts and minds of those who seek the truth.
And there is some good news out there.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the governor of Mississippi declared April to officially be Confederate History Month in the state of Mississippi.
There were last year 12 different bills that were proposed in the Mississippi legislature to change the state flag of Mississippi, which features the Confederate Christian logo, insignia, the cross.
All of those bills died in committee, and now there's a referendum gaining traction in Mississippi that would make it impossible for the flag to ever be changed.
The New York Times writes that in some states, including Alabama, lawmakers have been considering new ways to protect demonstrations of Confederate pride.
The pendulum has gone the other direction where it's no longer about trying to take away the emblems, said Dane Waters, a political consultant.
It's now about protecting them and insulating them from further efforts.
See, this is going on across the South.
You might not have known about that.
Well, why didn't you hear about that?
The media is quick to report when attacks against the Confederate flag and Confederate monuments and buildings that bear the name of Confederate heroes are under attack.
But when the pendulum shifts, as it has shifted now, and the exact opposite thing is happening in state legislatures across the South, bills are being voted into law that protect and make it harder to change the names and remove the monuments and take down the flag of Mississippi.
But you don't hear about that because that doesn't fit the narrative.
So they just act as though it's not happening.
Well, it is happening and it is gaining traction.
Complete 180 from where we were last year when everything was under attack.
Now the attack, the counteroffensive, has been launched by the good people of the South and their elected representatives in state government.
Now you're not going to see anything like this on a congressional or senatorial level, but in state governments in the South, you've still got some, some decent people below the governor.
So we're going to play another speech here now.
This is Jackson's speech to his troops in the movie Gods and Generals.
Again, we played these things last year.
It's impossible to match the level of emotion because of the moment we were in last year when we were under such attack.
But this audience is bigger now than ever before.
And I think these clips, again, offer a small look at the reasons our ancestors, the fighting Scots-Irish people who settled the South, decided to fight against all odds against a tyrannical government in Lincoln's War.
Let's play this clip.
Let's tell them.
We're going to play the clip and then we'll get after it.
Let's tell them what happened last year when their clips over.
Okay, let's play the clip.
Men of the Valley.
Here we go.
Citizens, soldiers.
I'm here at the order of General Robert E. Lee, commanding all Virginia forces.
On April 15th of this year of our Lord 1861, Simon Cameron, the Secretary of War of the United States, sent a telegram to our Governor John Letcher directing him to raise three regiments of infantry to be sent to assist in suppressing the Southern Confederacy.
Governor Letcher's answer is well known to you, but perhaps not his words.
His wire to Washington stated, You have chosen to inaugurate civil war.
And having done so, we will meet you in a spirit as determined as the Lincoln administration has exhibited toward the South.
Two days later, the Virginia legislature voted for secession.
Just as we would not send any of our soldiers to march in other states and tyrannize other people, so will we never allow the armies of others to march into our state and tyrannize our people.
Like many of you, indeed, most of you, I've always been a union man.
It is not with joy or with a light heart that many of us have welcomed secession.
Had our neighbors to the north practiced a less better form of persuasion, perhaps this day might not have come, but that day has been thrust upon us like it was thrust upon our ancestors.
The Lincoln administration required us to raise three regiments.
Tell him we have done so.
Dismissed.
That is an historically accurate reenactment of the thoughts and words of General Stonewall Jackson of the Confederate States Army, a Christian soldier.
And these were the people who brought that righteous war to bear.
Major General Patrick Claiborne. of the Confederate States of America was killed in the Battle of Franklin, and he has what I think, Eddie, is one of the greatest quotes to ever pass the lips of a Confederate.
And this is what he said.
And I think this applies to us.
If this cause that is so dear to my heart is doomed to fail, I pray heaven may let me fall with it while my face is toward the enemy and my arm is battling for that which I know to be right.
That almost broke me up even reading it.
That almost broke me up just reading it.
That is a man.
That was General Patrick Claiborne.
And he died in battle not long after he said that.
You know, James, you mentioned earlier that the bloodline, the genes, had been passed down from our Confederate ancestors to the present day.
And you could never said a truer statement.
And I'd like to also remind you people out here, do not get discouraged because James made another salient point earlier when he said, you do not ever hear of the victories of our people over the mainstream media because, you know, that would not fit with their narrative.
James has never said a truer statement than that.
I would also like to point out something, too.
God doesn't work on our timetable, and we may have lost the Confederate war, you know, the war between the states.
We may have lost that.
The Germans may have lost World War II.
But you know what?
The time between the Second World War, going back to our war against northern aggression to the present day, is just a blink.
It's not even blinking in the hourglass of the, not one grain in the hourglass of time for God Almighty.
The war, that was a battle.
I didn't even consider the Civil War war.
I consider that's a battle, the endless battle, James.
It's been going on ever since time began, ever since Satan invaded the Garden of Eden.
Satan was there in the Garden of Eden.
He's still here.
The battle goes on perpetual, perpetual, perpetual.
Sometimes in some periods of history, maybe a couple of centuries, like the ancient Israelites were in it.
They were in Egyptian bondage for 400 years.
I mean, the 400 years, that's the law of the United States.
It's been a country.
We're still in the battle.
Do not get discouraged.
Now, we do have the remnant.
Just like the Bible talks about the remnant, we are listening to part of the remnant.
And we're preaching to a lot of the part of the remnant out there in our audience.
We, like our Confederate ancestors, are never going to bow down.
Now, here is your responsibility.
Here's your homework assignment, like our homework assignment here at the Cessbook.
You are to go out there and educate and reverse all the garbage that's being taught to your loved ones and even your neighbors' children that are in school to reverse the garbage that's being rammed down their throat in these government schools.
The garbage is teaching them to hate their ancestry, hate their white race, to hate their Christianity religion.
You are out to go out there and educate them in every possible opportunity that you get in the grocery line, at the park, in the movies, outside in a parking lot.
Never pass up an opportunity to at least plant that seed, to try to tell people.
I tell people when I see them in the park when I'm working out, I see ladies with babies.
I said, that's such a wonderful white baby.
Thank God that you brought that baby into the world.
We have so few babies in this world that are white.
For every white baby I see, you know, we see 10, 20, 50 non-white ones.
But you need to educate them how to break their ancestors.
Well, and if you can't do anything more, just tell them to tune into this show.
And, you know, we don't mind that other people are perpetuating their race, you know.
But, you know, that's the one thing that they say we're white supremacists because we want our people to have children too so that our people can endure.
We don't want other people not to endure, but we want to make sure that we endure as well.
And you mentioned the Germans there.
And the context of that is, of course, folks, I'd mentioned earlier in the show that other than Germans, nobody's been more maligned than the Confederacy and the sons of Confederate veterans.
And that the people in Germany now, they don't deserve that stigma.
I mean, there's differences in why the war between the states was fought and why World War II was fought.
But it doesn't, you know, the guilt and stigma should not exist.
Evil against good.
And anyway, when we come back, one more segment tonight as we kick off Confederate History Month 2016.

Actual history in that song, which is such a beautiful song, really captures the sorrow and the suffering of the South.
But the lyrics tell of the last day of the Second War for Independence and the suffering of the South.
In this song, Confederate soldier Virgil Kane served on the Danville train that would be the Richmond and Danville Railroad, a main supply line to the Confederate capital of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia to Danville, Virginia, and by connection to the rest of the South.
Union cavalry regularly tore up Confederate rail lines to prevent the movement of men and material to the front, where Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was besieged at the siege of Petersburg.
And as part of the offensive campaign, Union Army General George Stoneman's forces tore up the track again.
The song's lyric also refers to the conditions in the southern states in the winter of early 1865 when they were hungry, just barely alive.
The Confederacy is starving and on the verge of defeat.
And references made to the date May 10th, 1865, by which time the Confederate capital of Richmond had fallen.
May 10th marked the capture of the Confederate President Jefferson Davis and the definitive end of the Confederacy.
This is what this song is about.
The writer of this song claimed that he had the music for this song in his head, but had no idea what it was to be about.
And then he visited the South and said that he saw a touching spirit and thought about this beautiful pain and sadness.
And he wrote the song.
And what an epic song, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.
That's the history behind that song.
We're going to play one final clip from the movie Gods and Generals.
This is a speech again that Stonewall Jackson, played by Stephen Lang, gave to his troops before battle.
Throughout the broad extent of the country through which you have marched by your respect for the rights and property of others, you have always shown you a soldiers, not only to defend, but able and willing both to defend and protect.
You've already won a brilliant reputation throughout the army of the whole Confederacy.
And I trust in the future by your deeds in the field.
And by the assistance of the same kind Providence who has hitherto favored our cause, you will win more victories and add luster to the reputation you now enjoy.
You already gained a proud position in the future history of this our Second War of Independence.
I shall look with anxiety to your future movements.
And I trust whenever I shall hear of the first brigade on the field of battle, it will be of still nobler deeds achieved and higher reputation won.
In the army of Shenandoah, you are the first brigade.
In the army of the Potomac, you were the first brigade.
In the second corps of this army, you are the first brigade.
You are the first brigade in the affections of your general.
And I hope by your future deeds and there and you will be handed down to posterity as the first brigade in this our second war of independence.
Godspeed just hearing just hearing that reenactment almost chokes me up
I mean, imagine being there when you hear something like that from a godly Christian man fighting to protect his family and his home.
You know, we shared the quote a moment ago, and I think that this movie really does, I mean, it gives you just an idea, a glimpse at what the true cause of that war and why the South fought it.
We shared the quote earlier from Major General Patrick Claiborne, Confederate general, if this cause that is so dear to my heart is doomed to fail, I pray that heaven may let me fall with it on my faces toward the enemy and my arm battling for that which I know to be right.
You know, in that last clip, Stonewall Jackson is telling the troops, you fight so that you will be remembered by posterity.
General Patrick Claiborne also had a quote about that.
Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy and that our youth will be trained by northern school teachers will learn from northern school books their version of the war and will be impressed by all the influence of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as subjects fit for derision.
Of course, that's exactly what's happening worse.
But these men who fought for the South were the greatest Americans ever produced.
You know about Lee, you know about Forrest, you know about Jackson.
You know about Claiborne.
What about Tennessee Governor Isham Harris?
This was a wartime governor in the state of Tennessee.
He left the Capitol to go fight on the front lines at the Battle of Shiloh, the sitting governor of a state.
Can you imagine that happening now?
How about the Confederate scout D.S. Job?
That's a name you might not have heard of before.
D.S. Job was a Confederate scout who was captured by the Union forces, and they wanted him to give away the positions of the Confederate troops, and he refused, and they gouged out his eyeballs, and they dragged him behind a horse until he died.
How about John Breckinridge, who was the former Vice President of the United States?
He left the Vice Presidency to serve in the Confederate Army.
And at the Battle of New Market, the former Vice President of the United States was in command of school cadets from the Virginia Military Institute, young children that didn't even have shoes, and he was fighting against the Union Army.
Eddie?
Well, I'll tell you what, son, General the statement I made earlier about people educating your posterity, educating your young people.
I was thinking of this clip that James just got through reading from the great General Clayburn.
Everything he said, the man was like a fortune teller.
Everything he said has come true.
At this point in history, it is true.
The Confederacy, those great people in the Confederacy were slandered.
And we're being slandered now like them.
You know, I'm not, Lord knows I'm not holding us up to their caliber.
We haven't been tried like they have, you know, with blood and bone, at least not on these continental United States.
But what he said has true.
You go to any school, any public school, and all you can hear is how low down and rotten the Confederates were.
They're a bunch of racists.
You know, they're a bunch of slaveholders.
That's such a lie.
A very small percentage of people owned slaves.
They weren't racist.
They were hardcore Christians.
They were good.
They were good.
There was the good people fighting evil.
They were invaded by evil.
That's why I say we have to reverse the period, the mechanism of ill education being fostered upon our people.
I've even had to decrogram my own grandson in the past with the stuff he learned in a so-called Christian school.
But in closing, before I turn this back over to James, yes, you are listening to, and I'm not holding us up to be some kind of egotistical maniacs, but you're listening to two people in this radio station that we do have the genes.
We have the blood flowing in our veins from these great Confederate ancestors.
And we're egging you on.
We're trying to boister you on to get your spirits in the fight.
James, I guess I'll hand it over to you.
It's emotional.
It's just, I mean, twice in this very hour, just trying to talk about these men.
It just chokes up a manly man and the hell they went through.
And, you know, we're bound by duty and honor to defend our family.
And that doesn't just include those who live under our roof, but those who came before us and those who will come after us.
And that's what we're doing here.
And we're just kicking off Confederate History Month.
Let's leave you with a nice uplifting version of Dixie.
And we'll talk to you next Saturday for Eddie, the Bombay Miller, Keith Alexander, the rest of our staff and crew.
I'm James Edwards.
Bless you folks.
All right,
so that that clip was just a little bit short.
We wanted to send you into the bed of the show with that.
Hey, it's live radio.
We don't always get it perfect, but I'll tell you this.
Eddie and I were just talking about, I hope you were able to draw some sort of information, encouragement, inspiration from this hour and know that everything that motivates us to fight is good and holy.
If you don't fight for family, you don't fight for your faith and your kinsmen, why do you fight at all?
What is there to fight for?
And people, listen, I know you can't stand up to the gunfire like our ancestors did at Shiloh, but listen, educate, educate, educate.
