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.
Well, when
you break out the Beach BOYS, that most certainly means it's Memorial Day weekend.
Welcome to tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
It's Saturday, May 28th.
Great to have you with us.
And it is summer, or it's about to be right around the corner.
Summer is here, and you just can't listen to the Beach Boys in the wintertime.
And so right around this time every year, I break out those Beach Boy CDs, and we're going to start the show off tonight with a little selection from that.
And it's getting hot down here in the South.
Now, we're going to turn up the temperature.
We're going to turn up the heat on this radio program throughout the course of this summer, the next few months.
But I'll tell you, if it gets much hotter on the show, it's going to melt down.
We've been a part of some pretty big happenings this year, but this summer promises to be even hotter.
Speaking of the heat, you know, I always complain about the southern summers.
I am so proud to be a southerner.
I was born a southerner.
I'm going to die a southerner.
I would die for the south.
If the heat doesn't kill me, that is.
A lot of people like, if they're from the north, they like to come down to the south.
The real question is, would you eat a vegetable for the south?
Look, if it came down to it, let's not get drastic here.
But, you know, a lot of people in the north say they like to go winter in, say, South Florida.
They go winter in Florida.
I would like to go summer in Antarctica.
It's just, these summers are too much.
But I'll tell you, it's truly, truly was a tremendous weekend last week.
And we hope that you enjoyed the remote broadcast we provided live from the scene of the 2016 American Renaissance Conference.
It's back to business as usual in the studio this evening, but the energy drawn from such an uplifting gathering will continue to propel us for a long time to come.
As a matter of fact, most of the content, not all of it, but most of the content at our website this week was articles that have trickled out since we broke camp in Montgomery Bell State Park last Sunday about the conference.
And so if you missed the event, obviously what we were doing on the air last weekend was our first take of the proceedings.
We were covering it in real time.
In fact, the conference was only about half over at the time of our broadcast, maybe a little more than half, but it still had the Sunday session and the keynote and all of that.
Now we've had a week to reflect and things look very good based upon what I'm seeing and the reactions from everyone that was there and some emails we've got from people who tuned into the show last week.
A very good vibe right now as we head into this new season, both on the program, in the grand scheme of things as the world turns.
And in the Donald Trump campaign, Keith, here we go.
Summer 2016.
We're ready for you.
I tell you what, I don't think anybody has ever been more enthused than we are about the prospects for our movement.
This is just going to be the best of all possible worlds.
Donald Trump is proving to be invincible.
He's making all the right decisions.
I was glad to see him withdraw his offer to Bernie Sanders to have a debate with him because all that could do is elevate Bernie Sanders.
And of course, Bernie Sanders supporters would bring a zeal to the presidential race if he were the Democratic candidate.
So you don't want to do anything to cause that to happen.
You want that old stack of used tires known as Hillary Clinton to be the candidate because, I mean, there's never been anyone so wrapped up with everything that is negative about the establishment than the Clintons.
And Hillary is the least attractive of the two.
Bill Clinton at least had some modicum of common sense that came to his rescue and kept him out of deep water.
Hillary doesn't have any of that.
But a Hillary Clinton Donald Trump campaign is something that we're salivating about.
And time will only tell just how big of an advocate for the positions that this show champions, populist and nationalist themes, Trump will be.
But I do believe that there's no way that he's not going to be the best president we've had in at least 40 years.
You would go back to James K. Polk, I believe.
Well, James K. Polk was my favorite.
Hold on, you're breaking up all three times.
Hang on.
Yeah, let's see what's happening here.
Is it up now?
Well, it's your cord, I believe.
Just keep trying.
Okay, I can see it's kind of weighted down here.
It doesn't get all the way down to the bottom.
We'll get this straightened out after the first break.
But we really do have a rare opportunity here.
And I think everybody in the movement senses it.
The Amran conference certainly reflected it.
We had almost double last year's attendance at this conference.
Plus, we had, one, a large contingent of young people, and two, a large contingent of women.
And that is, you know, not typical or normal for these type of conferences.
Men seem to be the people that lead the unpopular movement.
Well, women will come when success comes, and it's up to the men to bring that success and to make that success possible.
And I think what we're seeing is happening now.
It is.
And there's a couple of huge storm fronts that have converged into this perfect storm.
And we've made mention of this.
No punning tour.
Right.
But I think, let me break it down this way.
On the one hand, you have all of these organizations, such as the Political Assess Pool, and you know the ones, the ones that have been out there fighting and scraping and doing the work day in, day out for years and years and years to build a movement.
And then you've had that movement galvanized by a lot of younger people who are coming in here very aggressively.
They are being spurred on by Donald Trump.
So Donald Trump is this lightning rod that has galvanized and brought to life all of the seeds we've been planning for years, spurred on now by a youth contingent.
And that was talked about and written about in a lot of these articles that were posted to the politicalasspool.org this week.
But the Trump phenomenon, plus all of the work that American Renaissance and the Political Assess Pool and Council of Conservative Citizens and NPI and all of these other groups that have been out there for years, their work plus Trump and this new alternative right youth wing coming together the tip of the spear and it's just churning and America has taken notice.
The media has taken notice.
Those three forces when put together are really beginning for the first time in my life to turn the rudder in a way that it's actually noticeable.
Well, I don't know.
It's like what came first, the chicken or the egg.
I don't know whether it was the alt-right that first caused the movement, caused the tiger counter to move over, or whether it was the Trump campaign.
But basically, the alt-right is a bunch of keyboard commandos, and I mean that in the best sense, not a negative sense, of people that really get on the internet and engage the leftist mainstream media, much to their consternation and dismay.
They call it triggering them.
They are triggering the left into hysterical-
We fought. We learned. We struggled.
Despite Obama's best efforts, the newspaper of the human resistance survives.
We have lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines.
Read about our struggle in The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The Sovereign is a 24-page monthly tabloid newspaper about the war between man and machines.
We've tried reason, we've tried legislation, we've tried every peaceful means imaginable, and all it's gotten us is shut out.
So now we fight the machines.
Order online today at thesovenews.com or find the sovereign at select newsstands.
Remember to read The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The human resistance's battle against the machines will be everlasting.
This is Mercy.
It was never our destiny to stop the age of Obama.
It was merely to survive it.
Together, 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.
What could be more appealing?
Do you know that young living essential oils is an element of life that makes them extremely effective in body rejuvenation?
This element is called vibration, and it works with body systems, not against them.

All right, everybody, welcome back.
A little bit of technical difficulties.
We were so excited about what's going on that we took a break five seconds early, I believe, that last second.
So, so bear with us here.
But one thing I would like to do is continue to break down the conference.
We are going to get back to work, but there were just a couple of outstanding and excellent articles that were written about the conference that we can't share with you in their entirety.
In fact, we didn't even post it word for word on the website, but there were a couple of things that I would like to share with you.
Michael Polignano of Countercurrent wrote a review of the 2016 American Renaissance Conference, and he was pointing out and remarking on exactly what Keith and I were touching on before the break: the youth, the women that were on hand there, how the sex to age ratio is starting to skew in a direction that's favorable for the continuation of these ideas.
He wrote some very kind words about my speech.
He wrote this on that subject.
The political cesspool host James Edwards was the first speaker, a native Tennessean.
Edwards gave conference goers a warm southern welcome to his home state, mentioning the role Nathan Bedford Forrest and other southern icons have played in his life as role models.
He also gave credit to his parents for providing him with a strong family environment growing up, which enabled him to rise when he faced trials and tribulations later on in life.
Edwards ended by saying he had zero regrets about his decision to pursue explicit white activism because it's something he truly loved and beamed with pride while telling the audience that doing what he loved also attracted the right woman into his life with whom he started a family of his own.
And of course, there's some other things that he writes in there.
Very kind words that Michael Polignano had written about me and the overall feel, vibe, and atmosphere of Amrin 2016.
But I would encourage you to check that article out at thepolitical cesspool.org and then link over to Countercurrents to read it in its entirety.
Now, also, American Renaissance itself, the staff of American Renaissance that Jared Taylor has there in Virginia, has written an excellent and definitive article that breaks down last weekend's conference.
For those of you who couldn't be there with us, you can check it out for yourself.
But this would, I guess, you would say, again, to use the adjective, the definitive article, because it came from Amrin.
But very good.
And it breaks down, in addition to a preface and a final parting paragraph, what American Renaissance has produced here breaks down each speech and each speaker in a very good way, in a very detailed way.
So it really breaks down in the written word rather than the spoken word or via video exactly what each speech was about.
And it includes pictures of all the speakers.
And again, we have posted excerpts from that at thepoliticalasspool.org.
And of course, you can find it at amran.com.
Just going through these parting shots on the conference because it was such a monumental event and it's an event that's coming right here at the beginning of the summer season.
This summer is just going to be wild politically.
We're going to have the Republican National Convention.
The Democrats will eventually pick one of their two remaining candidates, and then you're going to go into the general election.
So it's going to be very fluid, very volatile this summer, and you can count on the political festival to bring you everything each week.
You know, isn't it nice, as we ask from time to time, isn't it nice to have things in this world upon which you can rely?
Isn't it nice to have things you can count on in a day when those things are too few and far between?
Well, the political cesspool is one of them.
And as America seemingly, perhaps, is taking a turn for the better and a change in the right direction, we will be here every week to break down that journey and to share in that adventure with you.
There was some outside coverage of American Renaissance 2016.
A lot of news agencies there, in addition to movement news outlets such as the Political Cessible and Red Ice.
By the way, got a great email from Lana Loctiff of Red Ice, and I complimented her in my response saying that she and Henrik are just two of the very finest people that our side has to offer, and they did such a good job.
We posted that as well at thepolitical cesspool.org.
I sat down for a TV interview.
Red Ice TV was covering it live.
We were doing live radio there.
And that's up on the website.
So we encourage you to go check that out.
I had about a 20-minute sit-down TV interview with Lana and Henrik, and it was great.
So check that out.
But anyway, she emailed me saying that they listened to our live broadcast from last Saturday night on Sunday while they were driving back home.
And so I want to give a big tip of the hat to them.
But in addition to the Political Cessible and Red Ice, a lot of other representatives of the media there, the Wall Street Journal, Buzzfeed, Voice of America, HBO, Vice, Talking Points memo, Talking Points memo did an article about it.
It was written by Allegra Kirkland.
And I will give Allegra this much credit saying that she is probably the least horrible of any of the outlets that have covered us this year.
She, now they did superimpose myself and Jared and Peter Brimelow in this illustration supposedly depicting the conference, and they superimposed the Confederate flag behind us as if that's supposed to be scary or something.
But see, again, the media is just so disconnected with reality.
What they don't know is that when the average American sees the Confederate flag, they get excited.
They realize it's a Christian flag.
They realize it's a flag that represents opposition and resistance to tyranny.
So again, they fall flat there.
But she's been the least horrible in her coverage of this conference with regard to yours truly.
James Edwards, host for the Political Cessible radio show, had his own concept with the Trump campaign this year, as he recounted at a panel the media raised an eyebrow in March when he wrote a glowing blog post describing his interview with Donald Trump Jr. and his trip to a Trump rally in Tennessee, which he covered as a member of the press credentialed by the Trump campaign.
The radio host said the outcry over the incident proved to him that the mainstream media were, quote, mouthpieces for the regime.
The audience agreed.
They laughed when Edwards asked if they had a favorable opinion of the press.
And every hand in the room went up when he asked if he thought the media was, quote, made up of liars.
Well, that wasn't a direct quote.
What I actually said is the media is made up of degenerates and liars.
But perhaps that hit a little too close to home.
But overall, her coverage was about as fair.
She put in the white nationalist smear a couple of times for good measure.
You can't expect much more.
But anyway, we're going to switch gears and get off of the conference.
We talked about it all last week.
We did need to open up the show tonight, at least the first 30 minutes of tonight's three-hour voyage through the Political Festival, breaking down a few parting shots on what was just a fantastic weekend.
But the reason I wanted to bring up some of the comments that were made about my particular presentation is because the Political Festival's second quarter fundraising drive kicks off on Wednesday, June 1st.
It will run all the way through the month of June.
Now, you know how important these quarterly fundraising drives are in terms of keeping our work on the air.
So, we always offer an incentive for anyone who contributes $100 or more.
And if you contribute $100 or more between now and the last day of June, you will receive a DVD of my presentation at the American Renaissance Conference.
My speech was about 45 minutes long.
It was reviewed very well, if I do say so myself.
And so, keep us on the air.
Second quarter fundraising drive.
You want to go ahead and donate early, we'll add you to the list.
It officially starts on June 1st, but if you donate tonight, we're not going to leave you out.
$100 or more, you're going to get the DVD.
And it's good to have video, I think.
We don't do enough video production.
And so, this is a very nice, high-quality HD speech.
And I think you're going to enjoy it.
A lot of the people there did.
And so, we want to make that available to you.
$100 or more, you get that.
So, I guess we're about to take a break, if I'm not mistaken.
And when we come back, we are going to shift gears off of the American Renaissance Conference and get back down to business as usual.
We've got a lot of ground to cover tonight and no time to waste.
So, the best is still to come tonight.
Final shot on Amrit.
Guys and girls, great to see you last weekend.
Hope a lot of you are tuned in tonight that we're there.
And we're on with the rest of the program right after this break.
Stay tuned, everybody.

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, audience, we're having technical difficulties.
Some things never change around here at the Political Cesspool, so I'm going to take the baton in the relay race called the Political Cesspool radio show tonight and try to carry it.
Although I know I'm not going to be as good as James on this, let's just give it a shot.
First of all, this week was important in the Trump campaign because Trump is often accused of not giving substance to his positions on particular issues of the day.
Well, this past week, he gave a speech in North Dakota in which he basically outlined and fleshed out his energy plans.
Basically, it comes down to more fossil fuels, that would be coal, petroleum, natural gas, and fuel rules.
In other words, distancing ourselves from the Paris Climate Accords, for example.
And let me just give you a little bit, an outline on this from a New York Times article on May the 26th, 2016, by Ashley Parker and Carl Davenport.
Mr. Trump said that in his first 100 days in office, he would rescind the Environmental Protection Agency regulations established by Mr. Obama to curb planet warming emissions from coal-fired power plants.
Regulations that shut down hundreds of coal-fired power plants and block the construction of new ones.
How stupid is that, Mr. Trump said.
However, the next president will not have the legal authority to unilaterally rescind the climate rules, which are now being litigated in federal courts.
It is widely expected the case goes to the Supreme Court.
The justices rather than the president could determine its fate.
If elected, Mr. Trump could nominate a new Supreme Court to help strike out the rule.
Mr. Trump's threats to unravel the Paris Agreement could carry more weight.
In fact, at the heart of the Paris Agreement are voluntary pledges put forward by governments of over 190 nations laying out plans for lower emissions.
Once the accord is ratified by 55 countries responsible for 55% of global emissions, it will enter into legal force.
And any country wishing to withdraw would have to wait four years to do so.
However, if the deal is not ratified by January of 2017, a new American president could withdraw immediately for that reason.
Many countries, fearful that President Trump would do just that, are racing to ratify the deal this year.
Well, if you've been listening to this show for the past year, then you know that we have brought up numerous times the situation here in Memphis where we do have a coal-fired power generating plant called the Thomas A. Allen Energy Plant out on President's Island or near President's Island in Memphis.
It is the primary user of numerous pop-up cars full of coal that you see being hauled into Memphis by rail every day.
Well, I have two white cars.
There are no coal, I've seen no coal, soot or dust on my cars ever.
It's very clean burning, and Trump has called BS on this idea that somehow coal-fired energy plants are really making any, at least in the United States, making any type of significant contribution to global warming.
Now, another thing brought out in this article is that Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State has pledged $100 billion from the United States annually.
That's per year, $100 billion annually from the United States Treasury to foreign governments to help them comply with these mission standards.
In other words, again, just as we have said on this program, ad nauseum, global warming is basically a scheme to transfer assets and money from the first world, and particularly the United States, to the third world, primarily China and India.
Now, again, Trump has seen right through this, just like any normal aware American citizen would who knew what was going on.
And his position on this is just what the normal, average, common sense American would be, which is we're not going to pay $100 billion of our money for this silliness.
It's basically a tempest in the teapot.
It is a manufactured crisis.
It doesn't exist in reality.
And he also has said that he's going to make America energy independent.
In other words, we won't have to rely on any type of imports from OPEC countries, from Arab countries, from anywhere in the world to generate all the power needed to run America's industries and to provide for our current standard of living.
This is incredibly good news, and it couldn't be better.
And it's drawing fire from all the horny-headed intellectuals like this, Mr. Edsel, I think it is, from Duke University, excuse me, Mr. McNally and Mr. Abernathy.
They are saying that you can't, you know, this is not a good thing because we need to get the lowest price fuel in here.
Well, that shows that they are what we've always accused them of being, globalists.
Globalists don't want America or any other nation to be independent.
America has got to be independent if it is going to be prosperous.
If we're going to have a prosperous, large middle class, America has to be energy independent.
It has to be independent regarding its ability to produce manufactured goods.
And Trump is right on board with the rest of us on that.
It's the only president I can think of in my lifetime who has been.
And I'm 65 years old.
So think about that.
We finally have someone who thinks like us with a real shot of becoming the president.
We need to make sure that everybody gets out there and votes for this man.
This energy policy is not getting much play in the mainstream media, primarily because the mainstream media and the establishment knows how popular Trump's ideas would be if they were reported widely to the populace on television, radio, and whatever.
You had to pick this up on the New York Times blog, which I did this week.
And it's really, it couldn't have been any better.
I couldn't have wished for a better assessment and breaking down of all the issues that are involved in our energy policy than what we had from Donald Trump.
He's basically going to make sure that the Keystone XL pipeline is completed.
That will bring petroleum products from the Canadian sands down through the United States to get to our refining capacity down on the Gulf Coast around Beaumont, Texas and elsewhere or in the Houston area.
But even more important, I think, would be that under a Trump administration, we basically brush aside all of these EPA Environmental Protection Agency rules and allow America to build more refining capacity, not localized in the Gulf Coast or in the Houston, Texas area, but throughout the nation.
Memphis, Tennessee, where we broadcast from, is singularly blessed to have a refinery here, but no new refineries have been built in the United States since the 70s.
And the reason for this is not lack of need.
It's because the EPA has made the regulation so onerous that no, everybody knows in the petroleum industry that they basically are not going to be allowed to put a new refinery online.
President Trump can end all of that.
We can have more refineries and cheaper oil and gas.
Our natural gas, we're the Saudi Arabia of natural gas.
We have more natural gas than any other place in the world.
And we have enough coal for the most conservative estimate I've heard is another 500 years.
Plus, we have an awful lot of Americans in places like West Virginia that don't otherwise have a lot of good middle-class job opportunities out there.
This is how a person in West Virginia, in western Pennsylvania, in eastern Ohio, can make a good middle-class income folks.
This is all hanging in the balance in the Trump presidency.
So whatever you do, get the good word out on Trump.
We've got to get people to get selected.
We're coming up on a break.
We're going to try to work through these technical difficulties in the next three minutes and bring them back a lot.
But an outstanding job holding forth.
We'll be right back.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Well, just to give you an idea of what's going on here, ladies and gentlemen, so we're at the studio.
You know, we do every show live, unrehearsed and unfiltered, as you know.
And we're here at the radio station tonight.
And for the first time in 11 years, now it's not unprecedented that we have technical difficulties.
That's going to happen with any live show from time to time.
But tonight, for the first time ever, the computer that we used to run the board just turned off.
It turned itself off during the middle of the, or at the tail end of the second segment of this hour.
No, rather, it was the first segment.
The first segment of this hour, at the tail end of it, it turns off and it won't turn back on.
I don't know if we're not paying it enough, if there's a strike here that we're not aware of.
We've got some engineers working on it, but until then, we're patched into the radio station the old-fashioned way via cell phone.
Whatever it takes, if it takes duct tape and spit and polish to get the show on the air, that's what we're going to do.
But we'll try to make it as good with regards to audio as we possibly can.
But until we get some of these things fixed, you're going to have to suffer through with us via cell phone going out over the radio network and affiliate stations tonight.
But I'll tell you, sometimes a curse can be turned into a blessing, or we use something more popular in our parlance.
We can lemons into lemonade.
Keith definitely wanted to work in that commentary on Trump and energy, and he was able to do just that uninterrupted for a full segment.
So, Keith, you made it work.
Well, look, some things never change, and technical problems seem to be, you know, perennial here at the political cesspool.
I guess someday when the Trump campaign or some guardian angel comes in with a million dollars, we'll get the high-tech equipment that we all have yearned for, and all these problems will be a thing of the past.
But in the meantime, you'll just have to, I guess, try to consider this part of our humble charm.
It is charming, I think.
And the fact that we work through it first, then we do whatever it takes to keep the show going out to our audience.
Nothing will keep us down.
We're kind of like the postmen in that regard, whether it's rain or snow or gloom of night, we just keep on trucking.
We keep on telling the truth.
That's right.
And, you know, we have always talked, getting back to that last segment, about how Memphis, which has a lot of poor people, I always say that Memphis proves the truth of Abraham Lincoln's observation that the Lord must love poor people because he made so many of them.
The last thing that Memphis can afford is to totally retool its power generating plant, which is now geared towards coal, and put it online for natural gas or nuclear energy or something else.
Memphians can barely pay for their utilities right now.
In fact, the black part of town, of course, Memphis is a 65% black city.
And you're always assailed with all these pleas about please check off, pay extra money on your bill so that other people won't have their utilities shut off.
And the idea that somehow a community like Memphis is going to be able to come up with enough money to not only pay their current utilities at the bargain rate based on an old-fashioned coal-fired plant on one hand, or switching to some type of new green energy and paying some type of premium rate is absurd.
It's basically going to cause people's utility rates to shoot into the stratosphere.
And the rest of America is like this, and we need some common sense champion like Donald Trump to come in here and call a halt to all of this liberal innovation, which is basically dishonest.
It's being manufactured.
There's nothing wrong with our coal generated power plant.
There's nothing wrong with fossil fuels.
We have plenty of them.
The only problem is we need to get these globalists washed out of the system and we need to get economic patriots in charge not only of our energy policy, but every other policy that we have economically, our manufacturing base, for example, and have those people make America great again, which is what Donald Trump has promised to do.
Thank God for it.
Well, outstanding, Keith.
So our loss in terms of the integrity of our audio quality has been your gain in terms of being able to get out this commentary, which you've been sitting on for a while.
And I'll tell you, it's actually the audience's gain, if we're being completely frank and honest, because that was a very good presentation.
And I'm glad you broke that down.
And I know that you touched on it, obviously, when making your remarks, but what was it of all the things we could cover tonight and all of the things that we bat around during our weekly lunches with regards to what are we going to talk about on the forthcoming show?
Why was energy a topic?
Not normally a topic we cover.
Why was that something you felt so passionate about bringing to the audience's attention this evening?
You know, the reason is that this week, Trump decided to give a full-blown policy presentation on his plans for the energy sector.
And he did.
And it was a great speech.
It basically touched every base that I wanted to have touched.
One, he's going to basically get America out from under these Paris Accords.
He's going to liberate America from having to pay $100 billion a year so that the Chinese and the Indians supposedly can have cleaner energy.
But of course, I guarantee you, not a tenth of that money is going to be paid for the intended purpose of cleaning up their fossil fuel fuel emissions.
It's going to be used generally just to send them money so that they can fulfill the dream of all globalists, which is to equalize incomes throughout the planet.
Americans are wising up to the globalism.
We've always said on this program that what is the end game of liberalism, the end game of liberalism is globalism.
This is what they want.
And they think that an average American white member of the middle class has no reason to expect to live better than somebody in Ecuador.
This is what the John Birch Society said back in the late 50s and early 60s, and they were right on target.
We've got to call out the left.
We've got to let the American people know that globalism is not some quaint idea.
It is the death knell of American prosperity.
And the more it gets its fines and its claws into our government and our economy, the worse off the plight of the average American citizen is going to be.
Well, and in fact, this is what this election is all about.
It is a referendum on nationalism versus globalism, on nationalism versus internationalism.
And of course, you can say conservative versus liberal.
Look, if Trump's not a conservative, Pat Buchanan wasn't a conservative.
Well, let me put it this way.
If Trump's campaign isn't conservative, we'll find out if Trump himself is a conservative after he gets elected.
But if this isn't a conservative campaign, then Buchanan's campaign wasn't conservative because basically with regards to trade and foreign policy and political correctness and a lot of these other things, Trump's candidacy is in many ways a copy of Buchanan's.
And so, you know, and that's fine.
You can be a conservative and a nationalist.
You can be a conservative and a populist, but that's really what it's all about.
And the grand change comes right now.
It's nationalism.
Nationalism is what we need to be rallying behind.
I don't think you can be a conservative and not be a nationalist and a populist.
What's the opposite of a populist?
Opposite of a populist is an elitist.
We have an elitist, internationalist, or globalist leadership.
an establishment in this nation and throughout the Western world.
In other words, the white part of the world.
These are the people that are driving our people into extinction, basically.
They're making it tougher and tougher for people to maintain their standard of living.
And one of the reactions to that is a lower white birth rate.
That's what's happened throughout this triumph of liberalism that we've had over the past 62 years since the Brown decision.
Now, another key part of Trump's agenda is an opposition to free trade.
Now, neocons like Paul Ryan think that we should have free trade and that if you're not a devotee or a disciple of free trade, then you can't be a conservative.
He's absolutely wrong.
You can't be a neoconservative without being devoted to free trade, but free trade was never, one, a Republican value.
Abraham Lincoln was a protectionist who wanted high tariffs, and he's supposedly the founding father of the Republican Party.
Secondly, America's rise to greatness throughout the 19th century and into the 20th century, all the time up to the Great Depression, was based upon a high nationalistic tariff rate.
We had tariffs on foreign manufactured goods to protect and nurture the development of American manufacturing.
It was through that type of regime for over a century that America grew to be the largest and most productive economy in the world.
The forging furnace of democracy in both World War I and World War II.
Now we have economic traders in charge of our government who are giving away our advantages that have been obtained over more than 100 years of our predecessors in government of our forefathers.
And, you know, it's gotten to a crisis proportion now.
We are right at the verge of losing the ability to come back.
Trump's candidacy, in my opinion, has arrived just in the nick of time.
And people better wake up, smell the coffee, get out there, vote for Trump.
Trump can't help but be something of a disappointment.
But Trump is a common sense person.
As far as I'm concerned, conservatism is nothing more than common sense.
Hold it right there.
Because he has a lot of common sense.
I have a feeling he's going to be very good for conservatives.
