You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, going 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.
Third and final hour is upon us again, ladies and gentlemen.
This Saturday evening, June the 11th.
James Edwards here in studio with you tonight.
If you're tuning in to hear Kevin McDonald, you just missed him.
But don't worry.
He'll be in the archives.
As soon as the show's over, well, not immediately, but not too long.
Before midnight anyway, before midnight, let's just say.
The archive of tonight's live broadcast will be made available to you, and it will be available free of charge seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Did you know that our broadcast archives stretch all the way back to 2004?
Every show we've ever done is in the archives, and it's there for your perusal.
And the reason I bring this up is that Kevin had tweeted to his Twitter followers, which are about 8,000 strong, that he would be appearing on the show at 9 o'clock Eastern Time, which is right now, 8 o'clock Central.
He actually came on at 8 o'clock Eastern, 7 Central.
And so if you're coming here from Kevin's Twitter account, stay tuned.
Continue to listen to the rest of the show.
You'll like it.
But if you were here to listen to Kevin specifically, you can catch him in the archives a little bit after the show ends tonight.
Well, I've got good news for regular fans of the Political Cess Pool.
At long last, Eddie, the Bombardier Miller, is back.
Eddie is back.
We've gotten a lot of emails of people worried about you, wondering what's going on with you, Eddie.
But you're back now and at full strength.
So basically, there was no secret.
And I think I made mention of this.
We've been very busy.
The shows are busy with us in the middle of this eye of the hurricane and the media and the media coming down on us every week.
There's just no pause.
But I have found time to make mention at least a couple of times during Eddie's four to six week hiatus that Eddie was out.
And what he was doing, of course, was, and we knew Eddie was going to be out and we knew when he would be back.
But the bomber, he's the bombardier.
The bomber has to go into the hangar for its annual maintenance and kind of break down that process.
See, Eddie, Eddie doesn't like to get separated.
Are you flying the 17 or the 52 these days?
I tell you what, I'm breaking a man in.
He's flying the 52, but no one, no one gets behind the wheel of the 17 but the big E.
Okay.
But the bombardier.
This is what, see, he's been in flight training with an apprentice.
Eddie can't be the bombardier forever.
I mean, we all get called home to that eternal reward, but I heard they really tricked out your 17.
You were there.
You like to see every last ounce of napalm go in the tank, don't you?
You got that right.
Now, I even carry some in my, you know, when you're a runner, you carry water.
You carry little belts.
You carry water bottles.
I even fill my water bottles up with napalm sign.
The pappy goes to the outhouse.
It's like when you get bit by a snake, you like the venom to build up your.
Builds up your immune.
You know, tell you what, there's a lot of good proteins in this venom.
But I have had a wonderful time being off.
I've missed the show real, real bad.
And they've missed you.
We have gotten seriously a lot of emails from your fans wondering when you'll be back.
And so anyway, tell them what you do.
I don't think I've ever worked any harder for free.
I guess anyone who's ever listened to this show knows that I'm what they call a St. Jude hero.
And that's one of the things I'm proud about being at Life, besides raising my girls and being a member of the greatest radio show in the history of the world.
And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
It's great.
It's going to be better now that I'm back.
Not that I haven't seen it.
Undoubtedly.
Undoubtedly.
No, you know, but folks, it's because so you people out there would know we've had some people from the cesspool to donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
I'll tell you what, Pappy's been knocking them dead.
James probably told you I was in Nashville over, what, the 27th to the 1st.
I think your last time on the show was in mid-April, and then you were going to be out for about a month and a half, and now you're back.
And what he's done in this time, ladies and gentlemen, he ran in the Nashville Marathon the last week of April, completed that 26.2-mile marathon.
And then what he's been doing, Eddie runs three marathons a year to benefit the children who are suffering pediatric catastrophic illnesses that are being treated here at Memphis' St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Eddie raises money to support his marathon runs.
And how old are you now, Eddie?
I was 69 years old, April the 6th.
24 days after my birthday, I ran my 10th marathon.
And he's got two more of those marathons in New York, the New York Marathon and the Memphis-St. Jude Marathon, respectively, before the end of the year.
Well, Eddie normally staggers out his fundraising.
He pledges an amount that he's going to give to the kids of St. Jude, and he raises it to participate in these marathons.
Well, instead of going out throughout the year and raising a little bit here and there, Eddie tightened the screws and he did his fundraising for all of the three marathons, each of the three marathons that he's going to be participating in this year over the course of the last six weeks.
And that's why he's had a brief hiatus, that, and of course, making sure the repairs on the bomber go according to plan, you know, naturally.
But seriously, he's been doing that for St. Jude, and we're all very proud of Eddie.
He's been doing that for years now, very much an inspiration.
It just goes to show political access pool doesn't just try to benefit the lives of our listeners, but people who will never know who we are via Eddie.
I should say it's not the program doing that, but Eddie does it, and as a member of our team, we support him.
So through Eddie, the show has a hand in that, and we're excited about it.
And I'd like to throw another little clarification out there.
When we say raise the money for my marathons, what that is, see, when you, as a St. Jude hero, the way Alsac St. Jude, Alsac St. Jude is the, that's the charitable arm of St. Jude.
There's many arms.
I would invite all of our listeners, if you ever come to Memphis, if you'll give me a little heads up, I can get you a tour of St. Jude Tillin's Returning Hospital.
I'm very, very proud of that hospital.
You cannot believe how gigantic it is since it opened the doors in 1962.
And this isn't a commercial, but since 1962, Danny Thomas is in town, opened the doors to St. Jude Tillen's Returning Hospital.
Not one parent ever has received a bill from that hospital.
Now, they will take insurance.
If you have insurance, they will take insurance.
Once again, this is not a commercial, but we pay, not only do we pay the bills for the child, we pay transportation for the parents to bring that child here.
I was talking to my daughter just this very day.
There's a pilot.
He gets up in the middle of the night, hours and hours a night, rain or snow, he will fly anywhere in the United States to go get kids to bring them to St. Jude.
All they need is a referral from a physician to come to St. Jude.
They get them fixed up.
Not only do we pay the transportation to get here, we give them three hots in a cot when they get here, James.
I don't know if you knew that or not, but the parents are put up free of charge.
We have the Ronald McDonnell house.
We have the Chargett House.
We have the Grizzlies House.
We have the Harris House.
These parents are treated like royalty.
And the reason we say that is when we know, when these kids are coming here, and I don't care what color they are, I don't care where they're from.
Once you come into St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, you hang your political hat and your religious hat at the door.
It's all about the kids, nothing but the kids, all but the kids.
And we pay them.
James, if they have to go to the dentist, get a haircut, what have you, that's all paid for because we don't want anybody worrying about anything but getting that kids well.
And listen, not one dime of that goes for my marathon.
I have to pay, I have to pledge the money to get in the marathon.
It costs a minimum.
Right.
Minimum.
Right.
If you run Boston, it takes a minimum of 10,000.
And that, and right, this doesn't go to help Eddie get to the place where he's running the marathon.
This all goes to satisfy his pledge he makes to the hospital.
So anyway, this is where he's been.
And we're opening up this segment.
We're going to get back down to business, but this is something that's very near and dear to Eddie's heart because it's near and dear to our brother Eddie.
It's near and dear to us.
I will tell you, for my part, I don't know if I would run 26 miles to save my own life.
Much less people like that.
We'll do it for you.
But seriously, Eddie has a heart for these kids, and it's very inspirational that a man at a very young age, he's very young at 69, but to go out and run all of these marathons, that's not counting the hundreds of miles, literally hundreds of miles he runs in training every year just to be able to survive these marathons.
That's where Eddie's been.
And two weeks from today, James, we start our marathon, our St. View Heroes Marathon training cycles, which I will be helping lead that.
Got to take a break, but that's where he's been.
When we come back, it's back to business.
Stay tuned.

And now, back to tonight's show.
Well, so now you know where Eddie's been, and we are going to get back to business.
We have some things.
There was one specific story.
We did think that Eddie was going to be back last week, and he was one week delayed in that.
But other than that, everything was on schedule, and we knew what was going on and what was going on with Eddie.
I wanted to have Eddie on to talk about Memorial Day.
So we're going to do that belatedly tonight.
But believe me, folks, just because he's out fundraising for a charity, that's a vicious occupation, is it not, Eddie?
You've had, you know, we've covered in the past.
People call the cops on you because you're trying to fundraise, even though you have all their credentials and you can prove who you are and who you're there for on whose behalf.
They don't care.
And these people are just baffles the mind.
We talked last year.
You were on a public sidewalk outside of a community festival.
And people running this community festival who had no right to police the public right-of-way in the public sidewalk call the police on you.
And you've had the police called on you so many times.
Whoever leave.
I always forced the issue.
I always forced them to call you.
That happened a few days ago on Bill Street.
Because I tell them.
And I'm not tuning my own horn because I did not volunteer for the military.
I got drafted.
I did do it.
And I tell these people, and I have not one, but I have two, two honorable discharges, just count them from the United States Army.
And I said, I'm not moving one foot from this place right here.
It happened two weeks ago, James, during the night of the Stampede down Bill Street.
You probably heard about that.
So, all right, the Stampede.
That was actually the name that the local press gave this incident.
Eddie was fundraising for his favorite charity on Bill Street, which is the iconic, it's the bourbon street of Memphis.
And what took place was literally a stampede of humanity, if you can call it that.
But the media referred to it as a stampede.
And Eddie says he got his degree on the mean streets of South Memphis.
Well, the mean streets of downtown Memphis are in some parts equally bad.
You go a couple of blocks to the east or west of Bill Street or even on Bill Street itself if you go down a little bit too far.
50 feet in some cases.
And you are in a war zone, basically.
And what was going on, there were some gunshots that took place near Bill Street, and everybody that was on Bill Street that weekend doing the bars and the party scene, they literally stamped it.
You were there.
What was that like?
I was right there.
Explain what happened in your own words and then what the experience was like.
Now, Bill Street, I'll briefly describe Bill.
Bill runs, if you're ever in Memphis, it runs from what we call the Bill Street proper.
It's long, but the proper, the historic site runs from, it runs, the eastern boundary is 4th Street.
The westernmost boundary would be the Mississippi River because Beale Street dead ends in the Riverside Drive.
If you go any further west, you're going to be in the Wolf River, which runs into the Mississippi.
Well, I'm on the west end, and I started seeing all these shirts.
Well, people from Chicago, the Undertow Society from Chicago.
They had these shirts, you know, talking about how bad they were.
And, you know, we were invading Memphis and all this kind of stuff.
You know, Chicago's been in the news a lot for a certain kind of violence, if you know what I'm getting at.
These were people that would be comparable to the people that are making this news.
Before I got run, before the stampede got me, I did $237.47 before the stampede hit.
And I was like everybody else, James.
I was kind of looking.
It got kind of nervous down there.
Pappy's been in some pretty tight spots, but I'm telling you what, the crowd was so huge, huge.
I left my truck down there.
I was parked in the park.
You know where the Peabody Place parking garage is.
I was parking in this upscale parking garage.
Thank God I did.
And I had to call my wife to come get me.
I walked probably about, I guess, a total of about two miles from where I was fundraising to get away with the Sea of Humanity.
But it seems like all of a sudden, I mean, there's so many people.
Some shots ring out, which is not an uncommon occurrence in downtown Memphis.
It was fake.
You could feel the tension in the air.
Something was going on.
I knew it.
I guess God was leading me out of there.
Then I was getting tired.
I was going to leave anyway.
And like I say, and then all hell breaks loose.
Like you say, I was a good distance away from the shots.
Thank God I was west of the vast sea of humanity.
I was on the kind of, like you'd say, the outer fringes, but there was, you know, people were, I heard the shots, and you can hear the screaming back to the east of where I was.
And like I say, it was just like vast pandemonium.
People, you know what?
There were people running in businesses there trying to hide behind displays, trying to hide behind where they're keeping the wares.
In Beale Street, they have a lot of souvenirs, but they were busting down windows and just raising all kinds of havoc there.
And the thing about it, James, you probably may know, a week before that, a woman got shot.
And when they found the guy, the shot her, he said, they asked him why he shot her.
He said he didn't know why, but he did it.
And get this, this is how I am.
Last Sunday, you know, they had another, they had another huge incident where this whacko, another undertose of society dude, he shot two people at a grill, at a bar and grill on Front Street.
And then he went over to the Bass Pro and shot a guy there.
And then if that wasn't good enough, he takes his car and runs it on the sidewalk and ran over.
I don't know how many people ran over and killed a policeman here in Memphis.
I think Scoop said he's going to talk about that.
I was talking to Scoop the other day.
Yeah, Scoop and Jim Lancia were scheduled to come on tonight and Scoop got detained.
And I wasn't really proficient on the story.
I knew a police officer had been run over by another thug.
Well, I was there that night, but I was away.
It seemed like God's been leading me out of there.
The next morning, the next morning, I didn't know the guy got killed.
I knew all kinds of hell broke loose.
The next morning, I got out of the Beale Street.
It was too skewing me to Riverside Drive to I run the stairs.
I work out.
I do the stairs nine to ten laps up the stairs.
I know about 900 flights of stairs.
But anyway, and then I do my little four or five mile, what they call a slow run.
It's part of the marathon training thing.
And I saw all these cops going up and down Front Street and come to find out.
One of the cops got killed.
I mean, it happens around me all the time.
Sometimes I have to get the news to find out somebody got killed 100 yards from me.
But it gets wild and woolly down there.
And you see, when you're fundraising out in the public with just a bucket, you see the dregs of society.
You see the dark part of society.
And you see good people, you know.
And I'm friendly with all.
I got my favorite wine ones, my favorite homeless people down there.
I buy them lunches and things.
I'll tell them I can't do it all the time.
I do it when I can.
But like me and James always say, that's what racist, homophobe bigots, clansmen say.
That's what we do.
We do things like that.
But it's been a wild and woolly, James.
But I'll have to say now, maybe I shouldn't say this.
I kind of enjoy, I kind of get a kick out of the, how could we say it?
The sting of battle, so to speak.
You get kind of addicted to this.
That's what we call fundraising for a charity now.
Well, look, it's great to have you back.
It's great to have you.
To be back.
And I didn't want to just bring Eddie back.
Eddie has such a large following.
He is a fan favorite.
And traditionally, Eddie is always on.
Every week, the third hour is Eddie's hour.
Well, for these last four to six weeks, Eddie's been out because of the fundraising he's been doing for his charity.
And I didn't want to just bring Eddie back in after an extended hiatus and just say, okay, Eddie, well, this is what's going on in the news.
Trump, comment on this.
I wanted to ease Eddie back in.
And, of course, let the audience know exactly where he's been and the noble cause that has taken him away from the show.
But you're back now in the saddle and you shouldn't be missing anymore.
And I want you to go on record with that.
You're absolutely right.
And I like to say something to the audience too.
And I know I'm not.
They missed you.
You missed them.
Yeah.
That's right.
And you know what?
I love you people out there because it's probably a cliche.
Lord knows we don't make any money here.
If you knew, it didn't take a volunteer show.
It's volunteer work.
But I love you people.
And, you know, besides St. Jude, matter of fact, I was a Cespoolian before I became a St. Jude hero.
And my first calling is a Cespoolian.
You know, after all, you know, our people will be here.
We were here before St. Jude and hope that God will be here after St. Jude is no longer needed.
I've always told people I want to live until I see a big banner up in front of St. Jude Children's Hospital that says out of business because we no longer have a purpose.
We've cured cancer.
But I want to be a Cespooian to the day I die.
Come hell or high water.
And I hope you people don't think I've let you down.
I didn't want to be out of that.
Come on, come on.
No one thinks that.
We're volunteers.
It's like Mel Gibson says in the movie The Patriot.
This is volunteer.
This is a volunteer force.
You're free to come and go as you want, but while you're under my command, you'll obey me or you'll be shot.
But our conscience will not let us go.
We're here for our conscience.
Now you're back, and we're glad to have you back.
And when we come back, it's back to business.
I said that last segment, but I mean it this time, folks.
I mean it.
We'll be back.

With news this hour from LibertyNewsDaily.com, I'm William Grigg.
Police in Germany and Switzerland have carried out raids to collect evidence regarding the crash of a Malaysian airliner over Ukraine two years ago.
German private investigator Joseph Resch, who has reportedly been paid millions to investigate the crash, was raided by German police who seized what were described as explosive documents.
Swiss police seized Russia's safe deposit box in Zurich.
The Obama administration has blamed Russian-backed Ukrainian separatists for downing the MH17 passenger plane, which involved the use of a book anti-aircraft missile.
Book missiles have been used by both the separatists and the U.S.-backed Ukrainian government during the conflict.
You are listening to LibertyNewsDaily.com.
In other news, in what has become a weekly ritual, heavily armed riot police clashed in the streets of Venezuela's capital city with thousands of protesters demanding the ouster of the country's socialist president, Nicolas Maduro.
Last month, opposition legislators began the process of a recall referendum that would cut short Maduro's term, which has seen the country descend into an unprecedented economic crisis.
Maduro and the opposition are discussing a potential referendum in negotiations mediated by a group of Latin American leaders headed by former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
We're about to shift gears here for the remainder of the third hour, which will wrap up tonight's show.
But as I mentioned a moment ago, originally, Scoop Stanton had planned for our criminal justice correspondent, our newly minted criminal justice correspondent, Officer Jim Lancia, to come on and break down the situation with the Memphis police officer who was murdered.
We'll call it murdered.
He was, I guess, ran over by a car hit and run.
But he was ran over by a guy who had just got done shooting at people and he was trying to flee the scene and ran over a police officer.
So Scoop and Jim were going to talk about that.
We had a little mix-up and it didn't happen.
But interestingly, Eddie was there both for the stampede on Bill Street, which happened one night, and Eddie was raising money for his charity the night this officer was run over.
This officer's funeral was, I believe, yesterday here in Memphis, and Scoop has the 411 on that.
Scoop, take it.
Thank you, James.
Good evening, Political Assess Pool family.
Last Saturday, when the Political Assess Pool is winding down, Memphis' finest lost a brother.
Tonight, we mourn and remember police officer Verdell Smith.
Smith was working near Bill Street earning extra money to take his fiancé on a vacation when 21-year-old Justin Welch ran down Officer Smith.
The ordeal started when Welch stole a Chevy Camaro from a Memphis gas station, then shot two men outside a bar, then shot a third man at a basket pro shop, then drove down a closed off street running from the police.
It wasn't Welsh's first run in with a law, surprising, as he was in the Cook County, Illinois criminal justice system.
That's Chicagoland, folks.
Welch also was committed via emergency detention order for mental health issues earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Smith was an 18-year veteran serving the people and visitors of Memphis, as well as serving his country with the U.S. Navy.
Smith leaves behind a son, two daughters, and a fiancée and his father.
Now, the political assessment has a special bond with Memphis and the men and women of the MPD.
Besides being home based in Memphis, where we live, work, and play, political assistable founders James Edwards and Austin Brownlee were named Honorary Memphis City Cousin.
We have also forged a bond with Memphis's finest as members have called us on air concerning the war in police and have contacted by email with the addition of Jim Lancia as a guest now correspondent with his book, Downtown White Police.
So, ladies and gentlemen of Memphis's finest, we won't worry you for Brother Smith.
James, Eddie, back to you.
Thank you, Scoop, for that.
Thanks, Scoop.
We're going to have Jim Lancia on, or we're going to shoot to have him on again on the June 25th show.
So not next week, but the week after.
But again, so you've got this crime that you get in a society that America is drifting towards.
I was talking with my wife.
My wife said at the mall here.
Eddie, listen to this.
At the mall here in broad daylight, there was an attempted kidnapping.
This was just this week.
Guy rolling around in a van, a woman pretending to be hurt and needing to use a cell phone.
They targeted a mother and her three children and tried to pull them in the van in broad daylight with people all around.
Absolutely no fear.
Thankfully, the mother of these three children was alarmed and thought something was very suspicious and was scared.
And so she ran and they sped off.
But this is what you get when you don't live in a high trust society.
We had a high trust society in America up until the 50s and 60s.
That does not exist at all anymore.
And it's certainly one of the byproducts of any nation that accepts people who don't like to be around each other and are at odds, whether it's the media putting them at odds with one another or it's just a natural disdain.
This is what America has become.
And with Memphis, the crime is skyrocketing.
And Eddie, you were down there for two shootings trying to fundraise for a charity, put your own life in danger.
You were down there when both of these instances occurred.
And Scoop, thank you for giving us the rest of the details.
I know you have to.
I want to say something.
Scoop, if you've got time, I'd like to say, Scoop, I'm doing a lot of work in the city, as you well know, and I'm in contact with a lot of cops.
James says a lot of them are communicating through email, hopefully some of them that I've gotten contact with.
I was talking to Scoop just today, and he gave me permission to give his phone number to some of these cops that I talked to, if they're on the up and up.
And I told them that we have, I think Scoop has a brilliant, I think this is brilliant, a stroke of brilliance.
The political assess pool could become the radio station for police all throughout the United States.
I mean, there's not another police, there's not another radio station in the country, Scoop, that I know that's doing what you have started, becoming an advocate for the guys in blue.
Lord knows they need it.
They're under siege.
I think I salute you for that, Scoop.
That was a stroke of brilliance, and they need it.
And that's very, very nice of you and charitable of you to our boys in blue.
God knows they need it.
No doubt Scoop's segment has become cops.
Scoop comes on, it's going to be about cops.
And I have warmed, certainly, to this idea.
And Jim Lancia has been just a great addition.
This was a hardcore cop in a real rough area in Bridgeport, Connecticut, at the height of the crack epidemic.
And then he knows what's going on in the streets.
A lot of these officers do, and they're completely under fire by the Obama administration and by the media.
And anybody that's at odds with the government and the media or who has the government immediate odds with them could be a natural ally.
And so certainly when I watch things go on like Ferguson and a police officer be blamed there, my heart goes out to officers like that.
So, sure.
I mean, in instances like that, we're happy to reach out.
Scoop, a final word from you if you're still there.
Well, thank you, James.
Well, you know, my advocacy for law enforcement occurred on December 20th, 2014, thanks to Sean Bergen.
He's the one that said, hey, two New York City cops were shot and killed by some animal.
And me and him put our heads together and said, you know what, this is a war on cops.
And, you know, I don't want to, you know, I'm not doing this for ratings and, you know, get more listeners, even though it's nice.
I mean, but, you know, a couple people have been speaking out for the cops, but then they died down.
I mean, 2014 got on one.
December 2015 again went.
But guess what?
We're still out there fighting for these men and women on the street and in jails and everywhere else, protecting us because they're under siege.
This is one of the last institutions that Obama and his minions want to crack.
They went after the military.
Now we got transgender and openly gay and all sorts of nonsense going around.
Guys in high heels and fake pregnancy billies doing exercise and that nonsense.
Well, guess what?
You know, they're going after law enforcement because they're doing their job.
And, you know, we're the voice of what the cops want to say, but just can't because, again, they'll be censored.
They'll be fired.
They'll lose all their benefits.
So that's why you have myself, Mr. Bergen, Mr. Lancier, Eddie, James, and everybody else to be that voice for the men and women in blue.
James, Eddie, back to you.
Well, Scoop, I know for sure you're not doing this for ratings or for glory.
And if anybody ever knows you, they'd only be able to talk to you for five minutes and know that you have a big heart.
You have a sense of justice.
You have this thing called character that's sorely missing nowadays.
I know that's why you're doing it.
And I'm going to help you out all I can.
Like I was telling James, and I consider this your thing because you're the one that started.
And I think it's brilliant.
Somebody needs, these police do, they do need the backing of someone like us.
Well, the bottom line is this.
We're a family on the air.
The audience is our family.
We're all one.
And if there's something that's of importance to one of the team members here and they're sincere about it, and it comes from the heart, just like Eddie with his crusade for the kids at the hospital.
I wouldn't have naturally talked about that on the show just because it wouldn't have occurred to me because it means something to Eddie.
We certainly let this program on occasion serve as a voice for that particular cause.
And with Scoop, this is something that's very heartfelt for him.
And because it means something to him, and he's been a loyal contributor to this show since 2005.
Then, you know, a segment a night, that's not too much to ask, I don't think, particularly now that we see that cops are increasingly at odds with the government for issues similar to what we find our own selves at odds with the government and media over.
There's some realities that exist out there on the streets.
Police officers see these things.
And if ever a cop takes action against a suspect that he shouldn't have based on the false laws of political correctness and they come under fire, that's really a lot, a lot of times what we're talking about here when we have these segments.
But Scoop, thanks so much for filling in the blanks there.
We had talked about Eddie being on the streets when that death took place, when that killing took place.
And that fills in our audience on what Eddie heard.
I mean, you didn't see the officer get run over, but you heard the gunshots.
It is strange.
You have to go to the news to find out what happened to you 200 yards away from where you were standing.
But, you know, I like to think of this radio station as a renaissance station.
We're the best there is at what we do.
And we're not just zeroed in on one little issue.
We're broad.
I mean, we are a humanitarian organization.
Look what we're doing.
There's not another radio station in the world that does what we do for the police and for the kids and just all-round good citizens.
And that's not, I mean that.
Well, it's certainly not a volunteer one.
Well, folks, we're going to take our last break of the night.
When we come back, you don't want to miss this segment.
This is really the highlight of Eddie's hour.
I've been waiting to get to that.
Eddie and his thoughts on Memorial Day.
This is coming from a man who did two tours in Vietnam.
We're going to listen to it right after this.

All right, folks.
Well, when Memorial Day happened, I'm just going to be completely blunt and raw as I can be.
I love this country.
I hate what this country has become.
And the government of this country is absolutely abominable and evil.
It is just evil in every way an entity can be evil.
It's the government that has legislated and ruled over a nation that has aborted tens of millions of its own children.
I mean, how evil.
I mean, you want to talk about some of these dictators in the past.
If everything they said about Hitler was true, it didn't hold a candle to the number of babies murdered by the Supreme Court of this country.
That is so true, James.
That's just the way I see it.
So, you know, how is this country good when it's murdered tens of millions, 100 million babies, but some of these other dictators are bad?
They're either all bad or it's all relative.
Anyway, that's just one thing.
This is a country that legislates homosexual marriage.
What a farce.
But even that looks good compared to this transgender bathroom where men can go to the bathrooms with little girls.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
There's just so much.
A country, a government.
There's a difference between the country and the government.
The government and the media hates Jesus Christ.
They hate Christianity.
And so on Memorial Day, I look at the flag and I say, okay, forget for a minute that's the flag that terrorized my ancestors in the South.
That's the flag that implemented a centralized Leviathan government.
But I look at this country, I look at the flag.
I'm supposed to feel something for that.
And do you think that taking advantage of the gallantry and the valor of these soldiers and saying they went and died to make these bathrooms safe for pedophiles?
I don't think our soldiers should have gone to any of these wars.
I don't think there should have been a war fought that involved American troops since the War of 1812, the Mexican War.
That's it.
Certainly nothing, the South was justified in fighting in 1861 to 1865, but since the war between the states, America should have not fought another war.
But I'm not a soldier.
I've never served, so my opinion is as good as your mailman or the guy down the road or whomever.
Eddie the Bombardier Miller served as a combat medic, two tours, honorable discharges from Vietnam.
Eddie has served this country.
My opinion is as good as the next guys.
Eddie is a veteran, as is Winston Smith and Art Frith.
Scoop is a veteran.
Most of the members of the staff of this radio program have served in the United States Armed Forces.
So I look at that flag, Eddie, and I say, you know, that is the flag that is the flag of an evil government.
The American flag really means very little to me because I associate it with the government.
And of course, when you think about Memorial Day, the government, the media says they fought to make this country blah, blah, blah.
What is this country now?
What does Memorial Day mean to you, a man who did put his life on the line for this country?
Yeah, you were drafted, but you did your duty.
And as I say, this is not to knock the veterans.
To go into battle for any reason, whether you're misguided.
And we have a lot of veterans write us in saying, you know what, I wish I hadn't served.
You know, this country, this government isn't worth the sacrifice.
Again, not the country, but the government.
The government's not worth our sacrifices.
I see the light now.
We have people who are in the armed forces who write us in and say that.
You know, what am I supposed to do?
I mean, but it doesn't take away the gallantry of that sacrifice.
But I've talked too long.
Eddie, you were a veteran.
You served.
What does Memorial Day mean to you?
What does the flag mean to you?
And remember, we have to be polite.
I'm going to be very polite.
Well, matter of fact, I'm going to go, there's a tremendous, and I have so much to say.
So I'm going to go from the very general to this very specific, the very general is that James and I are going to do a show, and maybe me and Sam in two weeks.
It's going to take several shows to do, to talk about just what we talk about war in general and about a lot of my information I got.
I would encourage you people to go out and pull up on the internet a report called The Report from Iron Mountain.
There's a lot of that will explain.
It'll explain everything that's going on in our country right now.
Okay, war.
James mentioned there's never been a war, well, in the war of northern aggression, we were invaded.
Here's the way I look at it, James.
The purpose of war is to, it's an enemy.
And there's never been in history a case of a nation that survived without a war, a nation, a national government, a government, be it Rome, be it ancient Greece, be it the British, when the British, when Wellington fought Waterloo, the United States, you have to have an enemy.
This isn't the Bombardier talking.
This is Dr. Anthony Sutton speaking.
This is Dr. Carol Quigley from Georgetown University, who was Clinton's big thing.
You have to have a war.
It's enemy.
The war is the main purpose, there's many purposes.
The primary purpose is to keep the sheep loyal to that government.
You have to have the people, you have to put fear in their hearts.
Here for losing their way of life.
You have to re-night against – it's like a damn football game.
It doesn't matter.
No, come hell or high water.
We may be wrong.
We may be killing women and children that are innocent, but we've got to support the troops.
How many times have you ever heard that?
The war I was in, it's documented now.
Like, you know, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Robert McNamara, you pick it, they all said the same thing, James.
They said the Vietnam War came in.
It was designed for social change to change the social environment in America, just like the civil rights movement.
The civil rights was 10% civil rights and 90% making the United States government ever strong.
But here's what I hate about it.
It takes young men that have not had time to research things like I have.
It takes them to when they're in the most vulnerable and at the very peak of their life when they should be enjoying life.
They fill them full of this crap, patriotism.
They use patriotism.
Which is a good thing.
They take their attributes and these things that are good and pervert and manipulate them to go and serve nationbuilding.
Is this government and the way it's used its army good for our people?
Has it been able to power for our way of life for people?
One of the purposes of war is to use up the goods and services that the sheep will be.
The best that writes go and fight, and then once they die, you can enact all of this social change at home.
That's one thing.
Now, they haven't had a real war.
These occupied nations aren't the same as Vietnam.
But anyway, you were there in Vietnam.
The Second World War started.
On Memorial Day, do you get excited?
Are you like, oh, man, I can't stand it?
James, I was invited to go to the Veterans Cemetery as a guest out there by a person, a very dear friend of mine.
I turned that down, and I didn't tell them why.
I was invited to go to a 5K run, Memorial Day run.
didn't go to that because I can't, and I can't tell a lot of people the way I feel about this because they'll say, you know, here I am, I've got to discharge as you mentioned, but they'll say I'm unpatriotic.
See, this is it, and this is it.
So you served as a medic.
A difference between a country and a government, we've been talking about that.
Certainly, there's the difference between a nation, which is a group of people, and a country, which is a political plot of land.
But valor and gallantry, that's true, but it has been misused and exploited.
And there's a difference.
You talk about patriotism.
Exploit the people.
A difference between a blind loyalty to a government and patriotism.
There is a difference between one being a patriot and one being blindly loyal to a tyrannical government.
And I was watching on the Memorial Day festivities a couple of weeks ago, this thing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
It's the tomb of the unknown Union Soldier.
That is actually, that tomb is for the Union soldiers only that fought against the South.
Everything that has happened that has been evil and corrupted in this country really is an extension of the society that Lincoln wanted to erect, which was, of course, in complete opposition to the founding fathers, most of whom's progeny fought for the South.
You know, James, it's also the war primarily serves the international bankers.
The international bank, there's no profit, you know, war, there's more profit in war than there is in drugs and prostitution.
That's true.
You can look it up yourself.
They take the, this is what I hate about it.
take the young guys like i was when i got drafted you say rah rah rah we're gonna go fight the bloody communists we're gonna fight the terrorists we're gonna fight we're gonna fight global war we're gonna fight this gonna fight that you know but what we do what i mean and now we've got a totalitarian state now Now, any white southerner is just a redneck and a bigot, and he's hated.
And this is by his own government and his own media.
But this was the kind of behavior out of governments we were supposed to be fighting.
Exactly.
We've come to the beast.
The United States is the greatest terrorist organization in the world right now.
I mean, look around.
All you have to do, and look what we're saying.
You take like Afghanistan.
You talk like we've talked about this before.
The so-called bloody Taliban.
You know, the United States created the Taliban under the Mojahideen back when the Soviets were fighting in Afghanistan.
The United States helped the rebels there.
They called the Mojahideen.
They morphed into Al-Qaeda.
Al-Qaeda's morphed into ISIS.
They're all the same thing.
You're worried about the little stuff here.
The big thing is, I'm glad you fought because we needed to make the world safe for Bruce Jenner to become woman of the year.
And I've said this too.
This may wrinkle a lot of people along the wrong way, but I'm saying this right here.
When I look at the so-called American flag, the stars and strikes, I look at a flag of occupation.
It's the same flag that came in and invaded the South.
It's that same flag is going over and bombing and great again.
It could be restored to the flag of George Washington.
We're going to have people in the world.
We're in occupied territory, James.
We've got to take a break for a week.
We'll be back next Saturday.
But I'm glad we had you back in, Eddie, to ease you back in.
All hardcore all the time next week.
For Eddie Bombader Miller, Scoop, Keith Alexander, the rest of my team, for Kevin McDonald, who was our guest tonight.
