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.
Our intrepid Washington, D.C. correspondent Scoop Stanton, had a conflict tonight, which was why he wasn't on during his normal segment the first hour.
But he is with us for just a brief few seconds to make a most important announcement.
Scoop?
Hi, thank you, James.
Well, good evening, Political Assessful family.
We have a special announcement.
The Political Assess Pool is pleased to announce the introduction of a new family member.
No, nobody's pregnant.
No, nobody adopted somebody.
No, nobody appeared on the Morray Show.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Political Cesspool is pleased to welcome Political Cesspool criminal justice reporter James Lancia.
Yep, that's right.
We got Jim Lancia is part of the Political Cesspool family.
Now, I wouldn't know why he would want the gig.
It doesn't pay anything.
Your repetition is ruined, and we're constantly running from one controversy to another.
We called everything but child of God.
James never calls you, and I never stopped calling.
James, back to you, because I'm being paid.
All right, Scoop, take it away.
And we have to give Scoop a lot of credit.
He has brought most of the talent that this program has to the show in the form of Sean Bergen and Jim Lancia, who we got to know a couple of months ago in his debut interview.
And he came back on a few weeks back for an hour long with Bergen, in which they just had an incredible back and forth.
And Jim, it's great to have you back with us for a third time.
And I guess if you'll consider reporting regularly as our criminal justice correspondent, that we could get to work with you a lot more closely.
Well, James, then, Scoop, Pete, thank you very much for the honor.
I really appreciate it.
I'd like to give it a try.
Sure.
Well, we're giving, I say we're giving you the try.
You're certainly giving us the try because as Pete said, there's nothing that comes with this position except a lot of hell.
But I think you're a hellraiser and you're an alpha male and our team is made up of alpha males and there's just something about that that resonates and we stand out and we take our punishment, but we give back a lot more than we take.
And of course, ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who don't remember or perhaps tuning in for the first time, certainly you should remember that Jim Lancia is a former officer of the Bridgeport, Connecticut Police Department.
And as we've said in his previous appearances, his beat was the worst housing project in America during the crack epidemic.
He purposefully chose to work the worst assignments in the worst neighborhoods.
Officer Lancia would execute warrants armed only with a six-shot revolver and a wooden billy club.
In one week, he made seven felony arrests and even had a hit put out on his life.
An alpha cop, author of the book, Downtown White Police, which of course is available on Amazon.com, Downtown White Police.
And you know, Jim, I know Scoop has told you this, and I may have mentioned it to you on the program, but we have had a lot of police officers right into the program who are listeners, both in Memphis and different parts of the country, who have bought that book as a result of your appearances.
And we're very proud that we had a hand in that.
Yeah, I'm really grateful for the exposure, and it's good to hear that police officers are starting to buy the book.
I've gotten a lot of good feedback from cops from all over the country.
And I think when they do read it, they'll see that it wasn't too long ago when you could still be a cop.
And then I went through the same things that they're going through now and all the restrictions.
Not quite as many as they have today, but it does show the evolving of being able to do your job and trying to keep time down that way.
And it actually worked from being restricted so much today and making it almost impossible to do the job the way it has to be done.
But like I said, thank you for the exposure.
And I'm just glad that cops are finally starting to read the book and they're making comments on it.
And I think it's going to make an impact soon.
Well, one of the, and of course, folks, we're not going to have the time tonight to get into the meat and potatoes of his book because we did that in his debut appearance.
And you'll have to go back into our archives and find the exact date.
It was earlier this year, but we talked for a few segments about his book and we really got into what it's all about.
But it's basically about his life story and what's going on with the treatment of police and the dangers that police face.
And his downtown white police is the name of the book.
And one of the most rewarding and encouraging emails I got from your appearances on the show, Jim, was that, and I won't say which department this was, but an officer in a police department said that he bought the book and is now passing it around to other officers with whom he works and that they are just in total 100% agreement.
So it shows once again, ladies and gentlemen, that the kind of message that we give here on the political assessment, which is a message of truth, resonates with good people everywhere.
This narrative that the media is pushing is rejected by good people everywhere.
And so there's a huge contrast.
But unfortunately, they've got the bigger pulpit right now.
So they are able to at least seemingly pass down verdicts of who's good and who's not, who's racist, who's not, but not for long.
That is about to change, and it is changing.
And we see it changing with the way the American people, via the Trump campaign, he has really brought out this absolute disdain and contempt that the American people have for the media.
And so it's good to see that whether you're a business professional, an attorney, a doctor, a police officer, a construction worker, you are coming to messages of truth and common sense.
And of course, our friend Jim Lancia, particularly from the perspective of a man who has served his country and his community as a law enforcement officer, is getting out the truth from that particular field.
And it's one that's very important and one that's obviously a continuing political narrative.
This idea that cops are bad and thugs are good.
And that's something that we see being put out there by the establishment press and the government in general.
And I think certainly, Jim, you would agree with that, correct?
Oh, absolutely.
Well, that's one thing I like about the political assess pool.
I mean, it's an honor for you guys to ask me to come back and to do some commentary on law enforcement issues and other related issues that I may have something to put into.
But I like the truth telling that you guys do.
I mean, I don't even think I would do this with anybody else on a regular basis.
I like that you have a Christian base.
I like the fact that you're not afraid to confront the issues.
And you're just very different from the mainstream media, which I don't know how anybody could even listen to anymore.
It's all edited.
It's all filled with lies.
It's all filled with agenda.
So the truth is, my book is about the truth, and your radio station is about the truth, and that's all.
That's what it's about right now.
People need to hear the truth.
That's why they're resonating with Donald Trump's message.
Like I said, see, I'm not really too much into politics, but I am excited about Trump only because he's saying the right things.
I think he wants to do the right thing.
And I think America is coming out of the woodwork now, and they just want the truth.
And I don't think they're going to be afraid of the regular labels that the West is flinging at them all the time.
Well, no, because, of course, they throw these ladies.
You're exactly right.
We're coming up on a break, so I didn't mean to jump in on the conversation, but I didn't want you to get cut off.
But it's hard to hear the music over a phone.
We can hear it good in the studio.
But no, they use these slurs, these slur words, racist, homophobe, bigot, whatever, anti-Semite, xenophobe, to shut people up.
But people aren't being shut up anymore.
And we'll be talking to a former cop who isn't as well right after this.

And now back to tonight's show.
You know, Scoop got in touch with me earlier this week, and he said, we really need to reach out to Jim Lancia.
He said, we need a criminal justice reporter, somebody that'll come on from time to time if his schedule permits and talk about these things from a position of authority and experience.
And I said, okay, well, ask him if he'd like to come on board and do that.
He said, no, let's just tell him when he comes on and see what happens.
And, well, I'm glad, Jim, that you humored Scoop and that you didn't.
It would have been quite, we would have been quite crestfallen if you had turned down our honorary title here on the air in front of man, woman, and child.
But it is something that is going to be a continuing story throughout the remainder of this election cycle.
The treatment of police and the media narrative that pits them seemingly against, I can't say the American people, but certainly minorities.
And I know you've seen this, Jim, and I know that you probably, well, most certainly went through this as well during your time on the beat, but how would you compare what you experienced to that which police officers, and we talked about this briefly in your previous interview, but I want to ask this question before we go forward, to what police officers in Ferguson and Baltimore and Chicago, for instance, are facing today?
Sure.
Well, in essence, I don't think minority police contact has changed at all.
I mean, that's all I had to deal with for the most part back in my, you know, back in my beat.
But what I think has changed in a major way is the public conception of policing, police, policing with minorities.
They're buying the story.
They're buying the falsehood that every contact a white police officer makes with a minority of black, let's say, has always got to be racially motivated.
I mean, they take everything back to the slave days, and they say that this has never changed since then and pre-civil rights.
And they're buying into the ideology that every contact a white police officer makes, whether it's stop and frisk or a drug arrest or any type of contact, and it always has to be racially motivated.
And most, and they're making it seen most in any police officer's shootings of a black male.
Of course, everybody and anybody they have to use physical force or even deadly force on is always, it's always got to be turned into a racial issue when just about, I would say 100% of the time, it's not a racial issue.
It's just the police officer doing his job and the thug reacting in the way that he reacts.
And that's the end result.
Sometimes it's deadly, sometimes it's not.
But it's the public perception.
It's the media has now gone over to the left by promoting this anti-police, this racist police picture that they're painting.
And it's not true.
Cops do not join the police force to become racist on some minority group.
I mean, it's preposterous.
It's just not a true.
It's a false scenario, but that's the problem today, is you have politicians like the mayor of New York, Mayor de Blasio, from Hillary Clinton, even to the president saying, oh, blacks are still not being treated.
Even with a black president in the White House, they're still complaining.
It's not racial.
It's just that you have a high percentage of crime being committed in a minority community and a high percentage of minorities committing crimes on white citizens.
So what you have is people are afraid to tell the truth and call it out for what it is.
There's a high percentage of crime in the black community.
And when police officers engage that, there's going to be problems sometimes.
And it's not racial.
It's just the way it is.
It's just, it's a dirty job.
And cops, sometimes you've got to get your hands dirty.
But that's the difference, James.
It's the media, the politicians, and a lot of the public siding with the rhetoric of Black Lives Matter and all these other, you know, race faders like Jesse Jackson and Sharp and who knows who else is out there doing it now.
Well, and this is our vision or my vision for you.
And of course, we won't abuse you.
And if you have something that you feel would make for a good segment, give us a call.
For instance, if there's the next time there's someone like Darren Wilson, an officer with an unblemished record who commits the racist act of self-defense by having to shoot someone who is threatening his life and then he gets cast as this racist villain and then you burn down cities in a righteous anger.
This is the media's narrative.
The next time there's an incident like Darren Wilson in Ferguson, you would be the guy to have on because again, you're an expert.
You're not hypothesizing these things.
You're a person who has lived it and breathed it and this was your profession.
And so, but I would ask you this.
In Chicago, you know, talking about Black Lives Matter, certainly this anti-cop narrative only hurts black people.
You need good, able-bodied police officers like you were working in these neighborhoods.
The more the media and the government dogpiles any white cop who enforces laws against minorities, surely, now I know these people go out and earn their money, these police officers, but certainly there has to be an increase in instances where they just ride the clock out because to do their jobs would put them in a position to have their lives and careers ruined if the media picks up, if the media picks up on it and perverts the story.
Do you believe that's happening, especially in places like Chicago, where it's basically like Mogadishu, Illinois, where you have this black-on-black murder epidemic going on in Chicago is straight out of the third world.
Surely there's police officers up there saying, I'm not going to become the next Darren Wilson.
I got a family I got to provide for.
Do you think that's happening?
Oh, that's absolutely happening.
I mean, you hit the nail on the head.
I mean, first of all, the crime rate has skyrocketed because of Black Lives Matter, because when, you know, situations like Officer Van Dyke and the LaQuan McDonald, anytime a cop tries to do his job, they're getting, you know, expletive for it.
So and then when everybody else, and then when cops are being indicted for first-degree murder, for defending themselves against a drug-crazed knife-wielding thug, of course they're going to back down.
Now, this is what they call de-policing.
See, the thing is, as far as being a cop, you could be a good cop.
You could be a cop that doesn't do anything.
You're still going to get your paycheck.
And it looks like a lot of these cowardly police chiefs and mayors are promoting cops to do nothing.
And that's easily done, you see.
But it's the guys that do their job that risk all the danger, that risk all of the possible backlash.
And I understand the sentiment that, because you know, I've been through that.
I worked in the West High.
I worked in all these neighborhoods.
And there were days I went to work and said, I don't care about these people anymore.
They don't care about me.
They put hits out on my life.
They take pot shots out of me.
Every time we try to arrest them, they try to resist.
And, you know, they throw bricks at the police car when we're on patrol.
And then you get complaints.
A lot of times they're false.
So then you say, well, why the heck am I doing this garbage?
But then when something happens in front of you, a good cop just goes and just unthink without thinking.
You go and do it.
You go to that gun call.
You go to that domestic and you do what you got to do because that's your job.
Now, I'm sure guys are still doing their job, but there's no doubt about it in my mind.
Like you said, let's use Chicago.
The crime rate is skyrocketing and people are dying.
And cops are probably backing off because every time they engage these people, there's a possibility of violence.
And if there's a possibility of violence, there's a possibility, a very good possibility, that they're going to be indicted for something or they're going to catch, you know, they're going to catch hell for it.
And it's just, it's not worth it to some people.
You know?
Well, it's just, and you hate to see that happening, but when you have the media and the government enabling the media or the media enabling the government, they're working in cooperation with one another.
They're basically the media is an extension of the government.
The media is an extension of the Obama Justice Department or Injustice Department, if you will, the Obama administration.
They see themselves as the enforcers of political correctness and they're taking their cues from the head table.
But when you see them coming down on cops, it's just another reason why they're so disgusting.
Jim, if you could, I want to keep you over for five more minutes, just five more minutes after this next break, and we'll wrap things up and put a cherry on top.
But if you could stay with us, I'd appreciate it.
I want to talk to you about what's going on in San Jose, and then we'll let you fly.
With news this hour from LibertyNewsDaily.com, I'm William Grigg.
Like many other parents of young daughters, Maya Dillard Smith has been alarmed over the ongoing transgender revolution.
Her concerns coalesced into outrage after an incident in which she took her daughters to a women's restroom only to see three self-identified transgender adult males enter the room.
Smith, who had moved from California to Georgia a year ago to direct the state's chapter of the ACLU, resigned from the group because of its dogmatic commitment to so-called transgender rights.
The ACLU's priorities, Smith declares, are based on who was funding the organization's lobbying activities.
Although proponents of continued marijuana prohibition insist that they seek to protect the youth, decriminalization of POT has reduced its allure, writes commentator Jacob Sullom in Forbes magazine.
20 years after California became the first state to allow medicinal use of cannabis, Sullom points out, data from government-sponsored surveys show that teenagers are less likely to use marijuana and if they do, less likely to abuse it than they were before this sea change in state policy.
In other news, Kyle Barr's had been a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin for nearly four years when he planted evidence at a homicide scene in 2014.
Placing a suspect's ID card and a .22-caliber bullet in a backpack at the scene of a search warrant resulted in Barr's termination and a one-year prison sentence followed by a year of probation.
However, the judge retained jurisdiction in the case, and if Barrs abides by the terms of probation, he will not spend a single day behind bars.

So check out Cop Shootout on YouTube with Jim Lancia right after you go to Amazon.com and buy your copy of Downtown White Police.
And so, Jim, we are looking forward to when stories that your particular area of expertise would help us offer our audience a perspective on having you on.
But I want to ask you, we talked about Chicago a little bit and some stuff in general.
What's going on in San Jose?
Did you watch the they call them protesters?
They're at the very best anti-white, anti-American anarchists, and they're accosting women and bloodying Trump supporters and even attacking the police.
Did you watch any of that?
And of course, it wasn't relegated to just San Jose, although San Jose was the most recent location where this type of lawless behavior manifested itself from the left.
But are you familiar with the situation at all in San Jose, Jim?
Yes, yes, I've been watching that.
I just checked out the San Jose incident.
I've been checking out a lot of the incidents.
I mean, this is happening everywhere Trump goes now.
And it's disturbing because I look at these people.
A lot of them aren't even legal Americans.
Many of them are Mexicans, and they're waving Mexican flags in America, trying to disrupt the right to assemble Americans' First Amendment rights, and they're trying to push their agenda on people that want to support Trump.
I mean, this is, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.
I mean, where every rally that people want to go to support Trump, it's got these agitators.
They look like they're like terrorists.
I mean, you're right.
They're assaulting people.
I saw videos of them chasing white kids.
It always looks like they're chasing down the white people.
So they're chasing down white kids.
You see blacks.
You see Mexicans.
They're chasing down white kids and they're beating them up and they're assaulting them, pulling their hats off their head.
And I got to say something, too.
I didn't like the police response in San Jose.
Okay, they had a police vehicle on scene and there was a few people in the street.
There might have been 100 people, but so what?
The cops backed off over there.
I don't like that type of policing.
I would have got out of my car, whether I was by myself.
I've done this before with large crowds, and they would have scattered.
A good cop could scatter a crowd.
I mean, that's what you got nightsticks for.
I'm sorry, but that's old school policing.
You see someone being assaulted in front of you, you have the right to go and do something about it.
And they backed off in that one occasion, and I think they got everything under control after that.
But I didn't like the police response with San Jose.
I got to say that.
The initial police response.
And this is exactly why your opinion is so profound, because this is something that you dealt with.
This is something that you did for a living.
And this is something that is certainly in your wheelhouse.
And so this is where I hope with you, Jim, that we can continue to have you on to discuss, because I believe we're going to see, as Trump secures the nomination in Cleveland in a couple of months, or I guess next month, and as this thing really begins to heat up, as the general election goes into full swing, I think you're going to see more lawlessness.
And unfortunately, the government has said absolutely jack about what's going on here.
And these are terrorists.
I don't think that's rhetorical hyperbole.
I think that's pretty much an exact fit because they are using violence to squelch people's political beliefs and to squelch people's right to freely assemble.
They are certainly anti-American at the very least.
And the Obama administration has said nothing.
Hillary Clinton has said almost nothing.
And the media, they're saying something.
What they're saying is Trump is the reason that these people are taking these actions.
Trump is the reason that these otherwise good and law-abiding Mexicans raising the Mexican flag are acting like this.
And if it wasn't for Trump, they would be Americans of no equal importance or of value to society than you or me.
And that is, again, why the media has just got to go.
They are just absolutely corrupt to the core.
And I think, again, this narrative may have influenced some of those cops in San Jose.
We can't say for sure, but maybe that was part of it.
But certainly, these people have to be dealt with harshly.
And I'm not talking about anything above and beyond the rule of law, but just the proper and determined application of the rule of law, and you nip this in the bud.
But what's happening in San Jose is a precedent you don't want in a first world country.
This is third world.
This is third world of activity that we're seeing here in America, and it's being sanctioned either by silence or support by the government and the media at large.
Right.
Well, we have a disturbing situation with a lot of these people are being paid.
These agitators are being paid.
We know there's people behind them.
Soros is behind Black Lives Matter and these immigrants or these Mexicans behind a lot of this.
You even got white social justice warriors.
They all look the same.
They're all demented.
And they call themselves liberals, but yet they don't want anybody else to have freedom of speech.
They don't want anybody else to be able to voice their opinions except them.
That's not being even liberal.
That's just, you know, you're trying to take over.
And like I said, if the cops don't finally get a handle on things, these rallies are going to get worse or worse because, like you said, even the president is enabling this by not condemning it.
Of course, he's not going to condemn it because I think he secretly is happy about it.
And, you know, cops can, see, this is the one thing, you know, I'm not telling these cops to do anything that they can't do.
They're sworn to protect people.
So if you see someone getting the slot knocked out of them, you've got to go there and do something about it.
Street talk there, but you've got to do something.
You can't back away from it because you've got overwhelming numbers.
So, yeah, it does bother me.
But yes, these agitators are getting way out of hand.
And it bothers me that they're waving flags of another country and thinking that they can just silence us because they got the louder mouths or they're the more violent.
That's wrong.
That's on America.
Well, and that is, again, putting in it as politely as we can on AM radio.
But I would ask you this.
Twist it around, flip the players.
Let's say Obama was running for reelection, that he had only served one term and he was running for re-election against Trump.
And at Obama's speeches, you had a crowd of predominantly white Americans come in and take the exact same actions, no more, no less than what we're seeing of these thugs.
And that's what Trump has called them to, by the way, and kudos to him for that.
But the white people assaulting this hypothetical Obama rally did the exact same thing that these anti-Americans are doing to the Trump supporters.
Do you think that the government and media would have the same disinterest in that, Jim?
Oh, it would be national news.
It would be, look at all these racists running around trying to disrupt an election.
You can't even ask.
People couldn't even ask about Obama's birth certificate without being called a racist.
You couldn't even vet him out.
I mean, I think you need more identification to get a driver's license than he needed to become president.
And anytime you ask that, you're called a birth or a racist.
Why are you questioning him?
You see, but that's the problem.
The media, of course, we know who's running the media.
The media is evil, and they're propagandizing everything the government wants them to.
Now that propaganda is legal, I mean, I don't know if half of America even knows that propaganda was made legal a few years back.
So it's just, it's being taught.
It was legalized that the government can lie and use the media as their arm to push their lies.
I mean, it's absolutely legal.
Well, that's exactly what they're doing, legal or not.
That's exactly what they're doing.
And the media is all too happy to do it.
The media, as we always say, speaks with one voice, and that voice is basically an echo of the most outlandish, radical, anti-American, anti-white, anti-Christian narratives you can possibly fathom.
And then when you think you've seen it all, then comes the media with one voice saying how evil people are if they don't think men should go to the bathroom with little girls, if cross-dressing men shouldn't go to the bathroom with little girls.
And if there's laws on the books there, they're not in favor of that law.
So we got to change it.
It's just sick.
And we have a chance.
The propaganda being legal is just kind of a joke.
It's actually, they had to even push that so they could make their lying legal, which, of course, doesn't make it any less of a lie.
It's still a lie.
They're still deceiving the American public.
And that's why so many Americans are so dumbed down.
That's why I think the political F school is so important.
And I can't stress that enough.
It's because the truth is everything today.
The truth can save your life.
The truth can get the right person elected that can turn the country you're on.
I'll say this.
If Trump doesn't get elected, I hope if Trump does get elected, if this happens, that he follows through what he's going to say.
Even half of it would make this country better again.
But I've never seen the country so split in my life.
I mean, we're talking about not just Democrat and Republican, we're talking about ideology.
And you're right, we're talking about not knowing who could use battle anymore.
And if you question it, they got a name and a label for that.
And even we've got to overcome it.
And ultimately, in some ways, this is going to be a referendum on law and order.
Jim, we got to let you go.
Thank you so much for coming on and for agreeing to be our criminal justice reporter.
We'll be working with you more.

As the United States boldly stepped forward in the glorious light provided by its new constitution in 1787, the nations of the earth were in awe of the newfound strength and hope of this free land.
Today, the nation stands at a crossroads.
A divergence from the original intent put forth in the United States Constitution has brought grave threats to our beloved nation.
A miracle is needed if the United States is to survive.
That miracle is again the pure application of the United States Constitution.
I'm Scott Bradley.
In my To Preserve the Nation book and lecture series, I bring forth truths that will help raise up a new generation of statesmen like those noble Americans who founded this land.
Vigorous application of these principles will invigorate and restore the nation, and we may become again the freest, most prosperous, most respected, and happiest nation on earth.
Visit topreservethenation.com to begin that restoration.

You know, we are really assembling, and I say again, thanks in large part to Scoop Stanton pushing it, but a very talented and expert professional crew here.
With Sean Bergen, the former television newsman, coming on as a correspondent, and now Officer James Lancia, who spent a career with the Bridgeport, Connecticut Police Department, coming on as our criminal justice reporter, we are getting experts in their fields and professionals in their fields coming on to talk about issues related to those topics.
And having a media man and a criminal justice man really helps round out what we're trying to do here with myself and Keith and Eddie and Winston and of course Scoop.
So we have got, and of course you've got Sam Bushman with the network who is also on with us quite regularly and who works with us behind the scenes to do a number of things with engineering and production work.
And we are really getting to the point where, you know, they say, well, this is just a small time radio show.
We've got experts.
I mean, we have got a crew here that I really think would rival that, I don't think I know, would rival that of any establishment.
And I use the word establishment to define them and not mainstream because we are as mainstream as them.
But people like Sean Bergen, Sean Bergen should be sitting in Sean Hannity's seat.
I mean, there's just no doubt about that.
That's how good he is.
And so I'm very excited about the direction the political cesspool is going as we continue to raise our profile in the media, as we continue to command national news coverage.
The team of people from whom we draw talent continues to go in the right direction as well.
And thanks be to Scoop for much of that.
So, Scoop, it was your idea to bring on the great Jim Lancia as our official criminal justice reporter.
I would say it was a home run tonight.
Thank you, James.
And I apologize to yourself and your listeners.
I had to take care of an issue with a Spider-Man cell phone.
Don't ask me.
But anyways, with Lancia, just like Bergen, it was a no-brainer.
You know, I talked to Jim for five minutes.
I know, like, man, this guy's good.
And then, James, when you had him on to do the interview the first time, you text me, like, man, this guy's good.
And then when Sean Bergen and Jim talked for an hour straight, and James, you did a bang up job as an MC.
I was like, wow, we got to get this guy on.
And what was funny is that I was leading Jim for a little bit.
I was like, Jim, yeah, I'm going to try to make you a part of the team.
And, you know, I got to go through channels and blah, I was like, hey, you know, truth be told, he's like, hey, James, how about Lancia as a criminal justice reporter?
Good call.
So before we broke the news, we already had his profile already done, and it will be on the website one of these days.
Sooner rather than later.
So we'll get Officer Lancia's profile and picture added to the crew page at thepolitical cesspool.org.
You click on crew, you get to see a short bio of each of us.
I think mine's been updated in 10 years.
But anyway, we're all there.
And Lancia will soon be there.
Your picture's been up there so long, it's like you still have a full head of hair.
Not quite that, but nevertheless.
My picture has been up there so long, I still weigh under 200 pounds.
That was about 60 pounds ago.
But anyways, you've put on a little weight with age, as we all do, Scoop, as we all do.
Little is not the word.
Anyways, enough about me.
But also, I want to point out, in case James haven't done it, because I had to go deal with this Spider-Man cell phone, starting next week due to my schedule changes, I'm going to be riding Shotgun with somebody.
We're going to start bringing in either Jim Lancia or Sean Bergen to sit with me on my segment because my schedule is so that I'll be talking one minute, and next thing I know, I got to go chase the Spider-Man cell phone.
So that way we're not leaving it high and dry.
And everybody's going to like humming a humming, humming, humming.
So look for that in the future.
James and I have a hiring out the details, but we look forward to nothing but future success.
Basically what Scoop is suggesting is that, of course, Scoop has been doing a dedicated segment.
It used to be the last segment of the third hour.
When his schedule changed at work, it moved to the last segment of the first hour.
And now his schedule at work has changed again, and it's put him in a position where he's going to have to be a little more flexible.
So what we're going to do is Scoop will still have his dedicated segment, but also with him in alternating weeks, perhaps, will be either Bergen or Lancia.
And anyway, it's just going to be more and better.
And it's going to be Scoop still there with perhaps one of these two heavyweights with him.
So it just adds another layer of excellence, Excelsior, as they may say, another layer of excellence to the political Cesspool.
So again, this is part of Scoop's vision, and he's brought on two great people who I've gotten to know and love.
And I think they're going to add another dimension to the program as we continue to soar and to climb into even greater heights.
So Scoop, a final word from you tonight?
Just that I'm very excited to bring Jim Lancy on board to round out the All-Star Steve Latalon.
It seems like every time we have a guest, either become a staff member or an enemy of the show.
Yes, well, you know, only the important stuff here.
Right, right, right.
But I mean, Jim's a great guy, and we're going to go do great things.
He's planning to come to D.C. We're about to tear it up here in town one of these days.
Eventually, I'll come out to Memphis, and hopefully the Memphis gang will come out here to D.C. and see where the tax money is going.
And boy, it's going everywhere except home.
I had someone at the, a couple of people actually, great people, at the American Renaissance Conference a couple of weeks ago.
And by the way, that interview that we've been talking about with Jim Lancia and Sean Bergen, where Sean Bergen was guest hosting essentially for the third hour, and I was just serving as MC to help take them in and out at the commercial breaks.
That was only May 14th.
That was only a couple of weeks back.
I thought it was a little bit longer than that.
So that was within the last month.
So you can check that out in the broadcast archives and get a full dose of both of these guys together with one another on the radio.
And Bergen was hosting, and Lancia was the person being interviewed.
But it was just great.
Well, anyway, I was going somewhere with that.
Oh, I know what I was going to say.
At the American Renaissance Conference, a couple of people came up and they said, you've got to put on another event.
Because, you know, the political cesspool has only done a couple of public events.
We did the kickoff party.
Sonny Landam, the actor from Predator in 48 Hours, our good friend, was the keynote speaker at our kickoff party back in 2004.
And then we did a 10-year anniversary celebration in the fall of 2014.
And a lot of people, ever since, I still get emails on a near-monthly basis.
You've got to do another event.
I've never been to anything like that.
I've never been to anything that was so inspirational and uplifting.
And it was just family.
And you could feel the sense of family and goodness.
And we had a couple of dear people who were there that came up at the American Renaissance Conference and said, when are you going to do another event?
And I said, well, if y'all sign up for it, if y'all are the first two to sign up, we'll think about doing one in the not-too-distant future.
And anyway, I say all that to say this.
We do that again.
We do another event here at some point, whether it's next year or whenever.
Lancia and Bergen have got to be there.
Lancia and Bergen have got to be there because I think as more people continue to hear them on the radio and meet them in person, they're going to win them over.
And these are just two great assets that Scoop has brought to the table.
And again, I cannot repeat this enough.
Without Scoop finding these people, identifying them, bringing them to me, they wouldn't be on here.
And I think the show is going to be a lot better as we continue to utilize these people or exploit these people maybe.
But no, take advantage of what they have to give.
And I think the audience is going to appreciate that.
So, I mean, we're not going to get top heavy.
They may be on for, I think what we're talking about is them coming on alternately for one segment bi-weekly.
So Lancia will be on for one segment every other week.
Bergen would be on for one segment every other week, just so they're in the mix, sort of like Scoop is a little bit every show or every other show, just so they're always current.
And that's pretty much what we're trying to percolate with right now.
Right.
Real quick, James, I had another inspiration come to me.
Those who follow Jared Taylor as well as the Political Assess Pool started emailing them to this terms like, hey, you got to have Edwards, Bergen, and Lancia on your next Amerin Festival or Conference, Amron Conference.
You know, Bergen, Edwards, Lancia, hell, even Scoop Stanson standing on the copperhead, too.
If Jared's going to put everybody in the Political Cesspool staff on his speaking dais, then we should just do our own conference because that sounds like a political cesspool conference.
But I tell you, I think Jared would be well served to consider either Lancia and or Bergen because you're talking about two professionals in very critical areas.
One that was a media professional, a paid professional reporter, a television newsman, and then, of course, Lancia, who was a career police officer.
You know, those are two areas where we need allies.
And we've got two of the best right here in the Political Assessment Stable of Talent.
Scoop, thanks for your contributions tonight.
For everyone else on our team, I'm your host, James Edwards.
We'll see you next week.
God bless you.
God keep you.
And remember to live life the way we do until we're together again next Saturday without retreat, surrender, or apologies.
Don't forget to donate to the second quarter fundraising drive, folks.
