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.
What a
great song to kick off tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool radio program.
It is Saturday night, December the 17th.
Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, we are only eight days from Christmas.
But in that time, you'll have two more episodes of the Political Cesspool, including a very special Christmas Eve broadcast next week.
And we'll talk to you a little bit more as the program rolls on this evening.
But that song, too, Keith Alexander, is the opening song, the song that plays during the opening credits of one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies, Lethal Weapon.
And so that's the one we start with tonight to kick this broadcast off.
Bobby Helms was the artist.
He was, with that voice, you would think he was right from the heart of Dixie, but he's actually from rural Indiana.
And in 1957, lightning struck twice.
He had his two biggest hits of his career.
One was Jingle Bell Rock, and the other one was You Are My Special Angel.
I know that.
And I would check them both out on YouTube.
This guy had an incredible voice, the type of voice that would make the hair rise on the back of your neck.
All they had to do is put a microphone in front of him, no voice enhancement or anything, and just cut it on and let him rip.
Well, they're going to do the same for us tonight, Keith.
Cut us on and let us rip here in the show.
Eddie the Bombardier Miller in with us tonight.
Also, he'll be coming on later on in the show.
He's in the green room right now.
Actually, we got together.
Typically, Eddie comes in later on in the shift, but tonight we all got together early, about an hour and a half before showtime.
We had dinner at a local restaurant before we came down to the radio station.
Nice waitress served us, and at the end of the meal, when she brought us our checks, now we had not mentioned anything about who we were and what we do.
She brought us our check, and what does she say, Keith?
She said she hoped that we had a good radio show tonight.
That's absolutely right.
So there you go.
Having not even made mention of ourselves, she knew the show.
And so it's always great when something like that happens.
And we hope that our regular listeners appreciate our efforts tonight and our offerings.
I guess we're acclaimed or notorious, depending on who you ask.
Well, she seemed to be pleased with us, and we certainly tipped well after that little announcement, or well-wish, I guess you could say.
All right.
Well, a lot of news about Richard Spencer.
I think he's been a topic of conversation on this show going back at least the last three weeks.
Richard was our guest for a full hour on November the 26th.
Since then, he has spoken at Texas A ⁇ M. Of course, when he was our guest right after Thanksgiving, he was on to talk about the NBI conference and all the media coverage that generated.
Texas A ⁇ M after that, which we covered last week with Dr. Kevin McDonald.
Richard, back in the news again this week, and this is a real tragic story.
So this is out of the ABC News affiliate in Montana.
Here's what's going on.
And ABC, no, excuse me, yeah, ABC Fox, Montana investigation tonight into Richard Spencer.
The story reads, reporting has uncovered an unexpected product of Richard's notoriety, a family, and a community torn apart.
And you can see how they do on these little local, low-budget broadcasts, how they say that with dramatic in a very dramatic way, dramatic flair.
So here's what's going on.
Richard Spencer's parents, his mother specifically, has a home in Whitefish, Montana.
Now, I'm not trading in any sort of privileged knowledge here.
This has been reported on by a lot of outlets in the last few days, including the UK Daily Mail.
But Richard Spencer's mother has a home and a business property in the resort town of Whitefish, Montana.
And, of course, the local Chamber of Commerce, busybody do-gooders, and even, of course, the local media is certainly raising awareness of her presence there.
This is Richard's mother.
Has nothing to do with Richard other than the fact that she's his mother.
She doesn't have a movie.
She's not active in NPI or anything else.
Well, she owns this building in the very high-rent district of Whitefish, downtown historic district.
It's a mixed-use property, vacation rentals on the top floor, businesses lease at street level, the story reads.
The story continues, Sherry says her son's political views and his detractors are forcing her to sell the property.
In an email to ABC Fox in Montana, Sherry Spencer wrote, as painful as this is, I'm exploring a potential sale of the building.
Now, Richard Spencer's parents have basically said what any decent parents would.
We love our son.
We may not agree with everything, but he's our son and we love him.
I mean, what do you want them to say?
Well, I'll tell you what they want them to say.
Tanya Gersh, according to this story, a prominent member of the community, said, quote, she, Sherry, is profiting off the people of this community all while having facilitated Richard's work spreading hate.
And she goes on to say that Richard's mother could address the situation by selling her building, making a donation to a human rights effort, and making a statement in opposition to Richard.
So basically, to absolve herself from sins that she never committed, and frankly, that Richard never committed either, she can rectify those problems.
His mother can, according to this one woman who just happens to be a realtor.
I don't know if perhaps she could do better by selling to her.
Sell the building, donate the proceeds to a so-called anti-racist group, and then denounce your son, and then maybe just maybe.
And then maybe commit suicide.
I guess that would be the cherry on top.
Well, so that's basically what's going on there.
And this is a group called Love Lives Here.
That's where it started.
Now, Richard's mother since then has released a public statement, which we'll get to in a moment.
But Keith, we talked about this over dinner.
Imagine, if you will, ladies and gentlemen, roles are reversed here, and it's a black business in town, and they're getting pressure by whites to sell, to denounce your children, to donate it to a pro-white cause.
You think, I don't know, maybe it would be a different story, Keith.
Well, we actually had historical experience with this.
Remember the White Citizens Council, the so-called Uptown Klan?
If there was a black person, a prominent black person in a southern town that was very supportive and outspokenly supportive of the civil rights movement, they would threaten their jobs, do things like that to them.
Of course, that was the greatest of all sins.
And the whole power of the federal government was mobilized to prevent any harm coming to these outspoken black proponents of their sense of racial solidarity.
Of course, the silence is deafening when it comes to the federal government or any other authority from the establishment coming to the rescue of Richard Spencer and his mother.
We'll talk more about this and this situation in Whitefish, Montana, after these words from our sponsors.
Hello, everyone.

Listen to a home where you can see every colour just to stop.
Rocking around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas fairy bring.
Later we'll have some fucking vibe and we'll do some caroling.
I tell you what, Keith, if they keep playing music like that over in the control room, we may stay here all night long.
It's a shame that our commentary is going to have to detract from the music.
Two of my favorites, Bobby Helms with Jingle Bell Rock, and then Brenda Lee with rocking around the Christmas tree.
Now all we need is Elvis singing, Why Can't Every Day Be Like Christmas?
Well, we'll get that.
We'll get to that.
We'll get to it.
We still got, hey, listen, next week, more Christmas songs.
Next week's Christmas Eve.
Anyway, so we're talking about this situation in Whitefish where Richard Spencer's mother, who owns a home there, this is a very exclusive high-rent ski resort community in Montana, Whitefish, Montana.
She owns a home there.
She owns a mixed-use property in the downtown historic district.
There are some vacation rentals there, I believe.
Also, some storefronts on the street level.
And because Richard Spencer is her son, she's getting pressured by local social justice warriors.
And the only way, according to them, that she can really make amends is if she sells the property at a fire sale, donates the proceeds to anti-racist groups, and then releases a public statement condemning her own son.
If that's not Soviet-era shenanigans, Keith, they never existed.
But you wanted to talk a little more about it, and then we'll read Mrs. Spencer's official statement.
Well, it's like a Stalinist show trial.
She's going to have to abase herself, confess to everything that her detractors could possibly dream up about her, and then do the decent thing and commit Harry Carey, I suppose, at least economically.
Now, I believe that this lady that is spearing up the anti-Richard Spencer movement is a daughter of the tribe.
And let me just say, we firmly believe that that has nothing whatsoever to do with these actions.
That this woman is, I believe, in fact, Jewish.
Surely that has nothing to do with it.
But nevertheless, facts are facts, and we like to let the facts speak for themselves here on TPC.
Well, let me just give my slant on it.
What's the problem with it?
The problem is they are the most liberal part of the white population, and they are very intelligent and very wealthy, and they contribute all of their talents and attributes, including wealth, towards converting America to the left.
And this is, she's falling right in line by doing this.
Now, you've got to remember now what you're dealing with here.
This is Whitefish, Montana.
In a kinder, simpler time, Whitefish was known as a rendezvous for men who came in from out of the state to hunt elk and bighorn sheep and things like this.
It was a hunting mecca.
Of course, in the succeeding decades from that kinder, gentler America of the 1950s, it's become a ski resort.
It's become a place where hippies and pot smokers and people like this like to congregate.
In other words, people who are naturally leftist in their inclinations.
Reminds me very much of Leadville, Colorado.
When I was a little boy, Leadville, Colorado was actually a mining town.
Then it became basically the pot smoking headquarters of Colorado and also a place with resorts and a lot of people that, as I said in that song, Taking Care of Business, say, we're busy doing nothing all day.
Well, that's what Whiteville has become.
It's become one of these type of places.
The business tenants are probably candle shops and things like this.
But at any rate, this is where Richard lives.
He lives there near his parents because he's a good and dutiful son.
And they're trying their best to put economic pressure on Richard, on Richard's parents, and all because they are trying to suppress Richard exercising his First Amendment right to speak.
All right.
Mrs. Spencer, after the news came down on her and the pressure of this was made public knowledge, she released a statement entitled, Does Love Really Live Here?
Keep in mind the social justice warrior campaign that is taking this action is called Love Lives Here.
And she asks, does love really live here?
My name is Sherry Spencer, she writes.
I am Richard Spencer's mom.
I'm a resident of Whitefish, Montana, and the proud owner of a beautiful mixed-use facility in town.
It was years ago now that I first broke ground on the building, which features vacation rental apartments and office spaces.
I hired a local architect and builder to bring my ideas to life, and both exceeded my expectations.
I am the sole owner of the facility.
It was built not just with my capital, but with my ideas and sensibility.
The apartments even include my original artwork, and the rooftop garden features my ceramic mural, which celebrates the Whitefish Winter Carnival.
In other words, I poured my heart and soul into this project.
Mrs. Spencer continues, the building opened in late 2015 and received wide acclaim from the local press, and the vacation apartments have been enjoyed by people from around the world.
Richard does not own the building, nor has he ever used it for his writing or publishing.
Put simply, the building has nothing to do with politics and has everything to do with tourism and local businesses.
I had no intention of selling until I started receiving terrible threats during the last couple of weeks.
These threats came from Tanya Gersh, a local realtor with links to quote-unquote human rights organizations, Love Lives Here and the Montana Human Rights Network.
On November 22nd, Gersh and I spoke on the phone.
She relayed to me that if I did not sell my building, 200 protesters and the national media would show up outside, which would drive down the property value unless I complied.
Gersh's other conditions included that I make a public denunciation of my son in a statement written by the Human Rights Network and that I make a donation to this organization from the sale of the property.
As Gersh announced on her own Facebook page, she was the spear.
Gersh followed up on her conditions in a number of emails, which I have now made public.
She even shamelessly suggested that she act as my realtor.
In other words, she and the local so-called human rights organizations appeared to seek financial benefit from threats of protest and reputation damage.
The same day Gersh first contacted me, I received a sales offer, even though I had not expressed any intention to sell, nor had anything been publicized.
One renter reported to me that Gersh threatened her business with boycotts unless she moved out.
This renter also alleged that Gersh called her, quote, collateral damage.
As the manager of the property, I employ a number of local maids and other maintenance personnel who would lose their jobs if I sold.
More collateral damage, I guess.
I never wanted to go public with this story.
However, the fact that so many news outlets have reported on it forces my hand.
Whatever you may think of my son's ideas, they are, after all, ideas.
In what moral universe is it right for the quote-unquote sins of the son to be visited upon the mother?
All I wanted to do with the building was help whitefish.
The people attacking me claim that love lives here.
Now it's time for them to show it.
Keith, actually, there was some stuff in that statement that really brings us into sharp focus.
There has to be some illegal maneuverings taking place here.
Well, just look back to the goings on in the 50s and 60s with the White Citizens Council and the activities that were taken against them by the national media and by federal prosecutors, and you'll find your answer to all of that.
You know, it's almost like extortion, although I'm not sure that it is.
It's that, you know, apparently this Miss Gersh wants to make money by being the realtor by forcing this Spencer to sell her property.
We'll restate some of the most pertinent elements of that particular statement by Sherry Spencer.
So we're going off of what she has said.
But the fact that a person leading a protest against your property will only relent in the protest if you agree to sell it.
And oh, by the way, I will be your realtor.
And you have to donate some of the profits to my group.
That's outrageous.
We'll be back.
Protecting your liberties.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
News this hour from LibertyNewsDaily.com.
I'm William Grigg.
Bunker Hill, Indiana is a village of 900 people.
It probably doesn't need a police department, so it probably won't miss the one it had until recently, when the town marshal and his four reserve deputies walked off the job on December 12th to protest decisions by the town board.
We have had issues with the town board, and there are some activities there where I felt like they were serving their own agenda.
The former town marshal, Michael Thomason, explained.
Most of the complaints had to do with proposed budget cutbacks and a refusal on the part of the council to purchase body armor for all five members of the department.
I did not want to send someone out there with bad body armor, Thomason complains.
I told them we have to provide this.
They were just not receptive to having a police department, he summarizes.
Since crime is practically non-existent in Bunker Hill, the most recent report lists one violent and 10 property crimes in the village, and the village is 15 minutes away from the Miami County Sheriff's Office.
It's reasonable to consider the police department as an unnecessary expense and a potential source of avoidable trouble.
That latter consideration, ironically, was underscored by the disgruntled officers themselves who have accused the town councillors of asking them to conduct unlawful background checks on each other.

Hey, what do you know?
That's Memphis' own Elvis Presley.
Favorite son.
Absolutely.
Elvis was the biggest thing to come out of Memphis until we went on the air in 2004.
But he's still pretty well known.
That's right.
That could be Lee Cochran.
I think he does a good Elvis impersonation.
Anyway, back to the, listen, it's only we can pull off this balancing act.
You've got all of this feel-good, happy music to put you into the spirit of the season.
Well, I say somewhat.
The real music that'll put you into the spirit of the season is the Christ-centered carols that we're going to play next week on the Christmas Eve broadcast.
But it's still some good time, feel-good stuff, and then we have to get back into the news of the day, which always is the counterbalance to that.
But just to reiterate a couple of points made in the statement by Sherry Spencer, Richard's mother, and Keith will take it from there.
She had no intention of seldom this building that she had built from the ground up until she received terrible threats.
The threats, she says, came from Tanya Gersh, a local realtor with links to a so-called human rights organization in the area.
According to Sherry Spencer, on November 22nd, Tanya Gersh spoke with her on the phone.
She relayed that if Sherry Spencer did not sell her building, 200 protesters and the national media would show up outside, which would drive down the property value.
Other conditions included that Mrs. Spencer publicly denounce her son and, of course, make a donation to this organization from the sale of the property.
I'm sure she has some type of ownership in that as well.
And she followed it up with a number of emails to Mrs. Spencer saying that she would act as her realtor, so on and so forth.
And general financial advisor.
In other words, she and the local human rights organizations appeared to seek financial benefit from threats of protest and reputation damage.
And they also threatened her tenants that are currently leasing space from Richard's mother.
Go, Keith.
Well, the more I thought about this, the more I came up with the conclusion.
This is why 42 U.S.C. 1983 was passed by Congress.
It was passed basically to address the White Citizen Council intimidation of people back in the 50s and 60s.
Basically, black people that were trying to exercise their constitutional rights to protest segregation and were being met with job loss or business boycotts and things of that nature.
Of course, business boycotts of white businesses were totally okay.
Well, this is a little bit of a strange case because they're not going after Richard.
They're trying to suppress get Richard to succumb to feel pressured to mince his words and to cut out his activism by pressuring his parents.
Of course, they say they're doing all this to benefit the community by rooting out such hate mongers.
Well, of course, everybody that does it says that.
You know, I'm sure that the White Citizens Council back in the day thought that they were improving their community too by trying to stop segregation.
But, I mean, trying to stop the integrationist forces that were trying to dismantle segregation.
But nonetheless, you have a right to protest and a right to be an activist in order to protest societal conditions or laws.
And that's all that Richard is doing.
Richard has been very prominent in the news lately.
And, I'm sure, groups like the Southern Poverty LAW Center, when they see people like Richard being active, being successful, his outspoken comments to a Jewish Hillel rabbi at the Texas A&M rally has received wide play and gave a very effective argument about the hypocrisy of Jewish power and influence being opposed to racial Exclusivity.
or racial solidarity in white Gentiles, when the state of Israel, that's their raison D'état.
That's how they, that's the reason for their existence is so they can have a racially exclusive nation in Israel.
And because of the effectiveness of his positions and his arguments, they've ramped up their efforts to try to shut him down and shut him up.
And that's what the latest developments in Whitefish going after his parents and going against his parents' business is that's what they're doing it for.
And it's basically violative of the spirit of the 1983 action.
That's what you bring a 1983 action for is to prevent somebody from trying to deprive you of your civil rights through these type of means.
Well, one thing's for sure, we stand with Richard Spencer and we stand with his parents.
And I've never met his parents.
I know Richard very well, but I appreciate the way his mother has handled this and our thoughts and prayers are with her as she faces the wrath of the peace and tolerance crowd, Keith, as it always is.
But I'll tell you, there may be something Richard can do if he does, as many outlets are reporting this week, seek Montana's one and only congressional seat, which may become available if Representative Ryan Zink is confirmed as Secretary of the Interior.
So basically, Montana has but one congressional seat.
They have more senators than congressmen.
How many states can say that?
But Montana is one of them.
Wyoming is the other one.
There you go.
The Mountain West.
But it looks as though Trump has tapped Montana's one and only congressman for a post in the administration.
And if that seat becomes available, Richard is flirting with the idea of seeking it.
Take lemons and make lemonade out of it.
I'm taking it very seriously, Richard said in an interview this week.
It's an exciting prospect.
The article gives a little more background about Richard's background.
They, of course, happened at the NPI conference.
The article that covers Richard from now until well after his passing will do.
But Richard did say this, which I thought was interesting.
If I do this, it will not be some eccentric campaign that no one talks about and is a footnote to history.
It would become a major conversation around the country just because of my profile in the alt-right.
Again, I would do it, though, only to win it.
And he's right.
Listen, I mean, Richard isn't a guy that struggles to get pressed.
But if he is seeking a congressional seat in a special election, and this would be a special election held next year to fill a vacated seat from someone joining the Trump administration, Richard could guarantee himself the kind of publicity that David Duke got throughout his run for office in the past.
And you know what Richard is doing is following in the footsteps of that grand Southern leader, Nathan Bedford Forrest, who rode to the sound of the guns rather than rode away from the sound of the guns.
When they started aiming their guns at Richard rather than running to hide, his instinct is to come out and fight.
And basically, they will be giving Richard and his viewpoint incredible free publicity by doing this.
If Richard runs for Congress, the amount of publicity he got right after NPI, he will get from the day he announces to the day the campaign ends or he wins office.
He will get that kind of publicity just about every day.
And it's, again, shows the wisdom of the motto of the political cesspool, no surrender, no retreat, no apology.
When you do that, when you don't retreat, which is what they're used to, when you come back swinging the way that we do and the way that Richard does and hopefully the way his mother will continue to do, you know what?
It opens up new vistas.
This is why alt-right thinking has now been mainstreamed.
And I'll have to call Richard after the show.
I should have called him before the show.
I'll call him after the show and see how serious this is.
To me, it would seem like it's probably a long since.
It's a godsend.
Well, it would be if he does, in fact, announce his candidacy.
And my goodness, if he wins.
Think about that.
It's a win-win because at the very first time, you'll get great coverage of his eminently reasonable position.
But Richard is spread so thin running NPI, running his magazine, Radix Journal.
He runs Washington Summit Publishers.
Now, that's all, of course, brother and sister organizations to NPI in some capacity or another, even if loosely.
But Richard is a guy that is spread thin, as a guy that knows about what it feels like to be.
And that's what Donald Trump was, and it didn't stop him.
That's a good point.
I think Trump probably had a bigger staff than Richard does when he was running the Trump organization, but Touche and duly noted.
Nevertheless, I think it's a long shot just because Richard has his hands in so many pies right now.
But if he does, once again, full support, no doubt about it, for go, Richard, go.
We'll recycle.
Run, Richard, run.
Run, Richard, run.
We'll recycle the opioid slogans from 92 and 96.
But we'll keep our eyes on that and let you know.
We're going to shift gears when we come back.
And oh, goodness, there's a movie coming out.
You don't need to go see it, but you do need to hear it.
We can't make this up.
We can't make it up.
We'll be right back.

Recent studies show that parents who smoke in the home are more likely to have children who smoke.
Yes, in fact, my brother, he's 22 now.
He told me and my father that's why he started smoking.
One of the reasons why he started smoking is because my dad was around, you know, and my dad, they saw my dad smoking.
My dad said, okay, I don't want you to smoke.
I don't want you to watch what I'm doing.
Recent studies also show that in homes where parents don't smoke, their children usually don't smoke either.
I am the way I am because my grandparents taught me what not to do.
They gave me morals.
They gave me belief.
They gave me something to believe in.
They just taught me well.
I love them.
I do.
Smoking.
If you think you're old enough to start, you're smart enough to stop.
A public service message from this station and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Are you familiar with the term vigor?
Strength in body and mind?
He pursued his tennis game with vigor, for example.
Well, I hadn't, but I learned about it from Kurt Crosby.
All right, and he actually let me take a scientifically proven free vigor test.
And I got 13 out of 32, not very good.
But I worked on it with him, and believe it or not, now I have a 29 out of 32 and improving vigor score.
You say, Sam, what on earth is this scientific vigor score, huh?

And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Well, you know, it's going to be hard for it to snow in Memphis tonight.
Listen to this, ladies and gentlemen.
A quick quip about the weather.
It's 75 degrees in Memphis tonight.
Two days ago, it was in the 20s.
It was in the 20s.
Tonight it's 75.
Tomorrow, it's going to be 16.
We're all on the verge of having colds and this type of weather shit.
75 from the 20s to 75.
It's actually hot in the studio tonight.
75 degrees outside.
It feels like a nice spring day.
Tomorrow, within the next 12 hours, it's going to be 16 degrees.
It's like they always say, if you don't like the weather, wait till tomorrow.
It's going to change.
Well, let me see.
Or here in Memphis where you can experience all four seasons in 24 hours.
Right.
My nose was running like an open faucet last night, and I found some type of anti-histamine digging around in my medicine cabinet that thankfully stopped all of that.
But I think all of us are on the verge of coming down with something with this type of weather.
I've never seen such a weather pattern, but I'm sure that the left will use this as more climate change.
Al Gore can explain this.
It's all out there.
Yeah, it all serves its bigger purpose.
But we were having a great conversation during the break.
I'm surprised that Tanya Gersh hasn't gone into trying to rename the town.
After all, the town is called Whitefish.
It's Whitefish.
That's the most obvious thing to point out.
The name of the town is Whitefish.
It seems like that would just scream at you.
I'm sure that Tanya, you know, maybe, you know, that probably ought to be her new calling.
We need to call it Diversity Fish or something like that for now.
There is actually, this may be anti-Semitic to bring it up, but there is such a fish as a Jewfish.
Yeah, right.
We could have the town would be renamed Jewfish.
How appropriate?
Okay.
Very quickly, we're going to take a caller from Colorado.
We've got to get to one more story before the end of this hour.
Matt in Colorado, you're on the air.
Hello, Matt.
Thanks, Take.
My call, James.
You're welcome.
Thanks for calling.
I haven't listened to your show since 2010.
I bought your book, Racism, Racism back then.
So good book.
I still got to use those points to talk to my conservative friends that are kind of scared by being called a racist.
Well, thank you, brother.
I appreciate you sharing that.
That's the whole purpose of that book, to get people beyond that point.
They're scared of being called a racist.
Yeah, like when liberals say racism, I just go, if I weren't white, you wouldn't call me a racist.
And a lot of times, like, they're like shocked.
They don't know what to say.
Well, you know, they've defined racism so broadly now, institutional racism, unconscious racism, microaggressions.
Basically, being called a racist is just a synonym for saying you're a white Gentile.
But yeah.
Yeah, it's just disgusting what they're doing to Spencer's mom.
I heard you guys talking about that.
You mentioned Colorado, too, which is pretty, you know, led for it.
I've been there.
I lived in Thornton for a while, but like Boulder is just real hippie, hippieville.
What is Leadville like now?
I haven't been there in about 10 years.
I know you've had this big influx of liberals from California moving into Colorado.
Oh, yeah.
The traffic is more backed up in Denver, like going to work and stuff.
I remember, well, I've been to Leville.
It's been a year.
The people there seemed normal.
I went to gift shops there.
They seemed like conservative, normal American types.
I didn't really notice any liberalism.
I noticed that a lot for Boulder.
Especially going down Pearl Street, if you've ever been there, Boulder.
We're going to trust you to keep Colorado in check for us.
Yeah, you'll be our man in Havana for Colorado.
You tell us about incursions from the left.
Okay, I'll do my best.
Well, thank you so much for the call and the compliment tonight.
And it's great to know we have listeners out there.
We have a new secret operative in Colorado.
That's right.
We're going to call you now.
Thank you, Matt, and Merry Christmas.
All right.
So this movie that came out, a new movie coming out just in time for Christmas.
New movie that has come out just in time for Christmas.
It is called Hidden Figures.
That's the name of the movie.
Hidden Figures based on the untold true story.
Meet the women you don't know behind the mission you do.
And here's the plot line of it, according to its official website.
A team of African American women provide NASA with important mathematical data needed to launch the program's first successful space mission.
So again, if this was a work of fiction, even a comedy, that's one thing.
This is being built as a true story that we never knew about from the 1950s all the way until 2016.
But now, Hollywood finally has ferreted out this obscure little nugget of history and the untold true story about African American women who actually were the brains behind NASA that led to the first successful space mission, Keith.
This is a perfect example of what we've been hearing about lately called fake news.
I'm sure that now it's going to be that the cleaning staff at NASA was actually the brains behind the whole operation or something.
I don't know what this is, but what it is is not the truth.
I can guarantee you that somehow these people were indispensable parts of NASA without which we could never have started space exploration.
You know, the left has a way of willing things to be so that aren't so, and they then have the temerity to accuse groups like the Political Cesspool or Breitbart News or the National Policy Institute of disseminating fake news.
This is the fakest of fake news, people, I guarantee you.
And what will happen, this will be another dud at the box office, even though every child in America's educational system, public or private, and particularly the black ones, will be carted at taxpayer expense to go see this movie, supposedly to inspire them.
What it will do is probably inspire a lot of laughter or a lot of boredom.
Look, here's the thing.
If there were black women who worked at NASA, God bless them.
But to believe that, listen, we know all the trailers.
We watched one right before the show started.
We'll let you break that down in a moment.
To believe that in this incessant era, this era of incessant black invention myths, that it was three black women who look like the Supremes on the movie poster, but the real woman who this story is based on was, I believe, a third Indian, a third black, a third white, if I'm not mistaken.
But to believe that it was their ingenuity and mathematical know-how that put us in space is just, Look, anybody familiar with reality knows that that's not what happened.
If that happened, we would have heard about it at some point in the last 70 years.
At some point in the last 70 years, there would have been documentaries.
There would have been, you would have heard about it every Black History Month.
Somebody just tweeted to me, this movie is Selma with Rockets.
They fought gravity and racism.
That's what the trailer is.
I'll tell you what it is.
This woman, I've heard her talk in these trailers.
She's kind of a mixture of Rosa Parks and Kim Kardashian.
If you can believe that, she's got this kind of sexual vibe that runs through the portrayal that she portrays.
We talked about at dinner tonight.
There actually was a black space program in Africa that happened more than a decade after this incident.
And in the official African space program, they trained by rolling in barrels downhills.
They swung out of trees in order to experience weightlessness, but the whole program had to be disbanded because they couldn't stop making love to one another.
And the female astronauts all got knocked up.
That's not, I'm not trying to be funny.
That actually happened.
That's a true story.
Look it up.
You know, regardless of any of that, all I can say is we saw the trailer.
And of course, there's the obligatory racist southern sheriff that pulls up and says, you're in a heap of trouble, ladies.
You know, just like the old Dodge commercial with the sheriff back in the 60s and the 70s.
Again, all the old stereotypes are trotted out like there's something new here.
They just have found a new way to cast the same old story they told in the help.
They told in Remember the Titan.
Interestingly, the star of the help is also the star or one of the three stars of this movie.
And basically, she didn't have to learn a new role.
She just had to learn a few new lines for this show.
But basically, she played the same character.
It shows John Glenn saying that they need in the trailer.
It shows John Glenn, the character playing John Glenn, saying, We need math that hasn't even been invented yet.
And then it has this black woman coming up and she creates this new mathematical equation.
And he asked them, What did you do for NASA?
She said, I'm the one who put you into space.
I calculated your landing and launch.
Have you ever?
Look, this is supposedly a true story.
Have you ever heard of this before?
Have you ever heard of this before?
Do you think you would have heard about it before now?
And it will turn out to be a hoax, and there will be no apologies from Hollywood.
I'm sure this woman worked for NASA in some capacity.
I don't think she was.
The idea that she was brains behind NASA is just, you know, it beggars belief, folks.
Well, and of course, again, if we're dealing with, I think the Barnes Review runs a line that I like, put history into accord with the facts.
America was so far behind Germany that we had to get their scientists after the end of World War II to come over here, Warner von Braun specifically.
And he's the one that put us into space.
It was a German scientist who took America to the next level in terms of.
Well, I tell you what, space is real great.
I was watching television this morning when I woke up, and they have this show every week on Saturday morning in Memphis called The Knowledge Bowl, where they get one high school to go against another, and they give them questions.
We'll tell you what I saw after these words from our sponsor.
We're back with the second hour right after this.
Stay tuned, everybody.
Another hour of the political cesspool is in the can, but don't go away.
There's more to come right here on the Liberty News Radio Network.
