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.
It's great to be back in Tennessee this Saturday evening, January 28th, after a week in Washington, D.C., where yours truly, Jared Taylor, Sam Bushman, and others in our circle of friends attended the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, Donald John Trump.
We were there.
We talked about it last week.
If you missed last week's show, that is really one that you'll want to go back and listen to in the broadcast archives.
Or if you did listen to it, maybe you want to listen to it again.
In fact, we got a lot of emails from people who said they listened to that particular show twice.
It was a unique show to be in Washington for such a momentous occasion.
And, of course, to be there in the manner and fashion that we were was certainly quite memorable.
Jared Taylor posted an article about it at American Renaissance.
We talked about it on the program last week.
Jared was with us.
Bill Johnson was with us for the broadcast.
Sean Bergen, Kurt Crosby of the Liberty Roundtable show.
It was just a fantastic week all the way around.
And then now back in Tennessee, getting back to business as usual.
You know, it was no mistake that on Friday before last, I reposted one last time the top 20 moments of 2016 for the political cesspool because I knew what I guess the audience didn't know at that time until we went on the air on Saturday night that we were in Washington and we were going to put one up for the 2017 list in pretty short order.
And I think being there as close as we were with the credentials and the tickets that we had certainly stands out and is a great feather in the hat for the audience of this network and this program.
But we're back in Tennessee tonight and what we're doing this evening, at least for the first hour, is we are going to break down the first week of the Trump administration.
And before I turn it over to Keith Alexander, and Keith, by the way, it's great to be back working with you again tonight.
I missed you last week.
Well, we missed you, but, you know, this is just the price we pay for the celebrity that this show has now.
You know, if there's a hot spot anywhere in the globe, we're going to be there.
If they have a, if Krackatoa volcano goes off again, we'll have James down there for that.
That's right.
Well, I miss having you in Washington, you and Eddie.
Missed having y'all there and missed working with you last week.
So it's great to be back in our home studio with you.
But what I was going to say was we are going to be breaking down the first week of the Trump administration in this, our first hour.
And, of course, as everyone knows, we went all in for Donald Trump in 2016.
From the get-go.
From the get-go.
And in fact, we had a lot of people, even still to this day, people say we were the only people in the mainstream media that never thought it was possible that Trump would lose.
I mean, we said from the beginning that he was going to take the nomination.
He was going to run roughshot through the primaries.
And the family farm on this one.
He's going to be the president.
And I said on an interview with Red Ice TV at the American Renaissance Conference last spring, almost a year ago, that I said, you know, if it's Hillary Clinton, I don't even think it's going to be that competitive.
Now, no one would have thought that on election day, but then he won with a pretty healthy margin of victory in the Electoral College.
So we were proofing right about all of this.
We were all in for Donald Trump.
We were all in with Donald Trump, even though the press crucified us for it.
Every week, there was at least one story and one major artery of the establishment lying press tying us to Trump.
Even the Trump campaign had to distance themselves from us, not once, not twice, but three times, sort of like Peter did and Jesus.
What did James do?
He's up there saying, give them Hell Donald in the press pen.
And, you know, basically, he and Jared were the only people that think like us or anything either.
Well, Sam, of course.
Sam Bushman, no doubt.
Was he in the press pen?
Of course.
He was the one who arranged everything.
Okay, well, anyway, you know, they were the three bears or something, you know, at that place.
And they have said, you know, you guys have stayed on this same message from the very beginning.
I don't know of anyone with the possible exception of Ann Coulter that was on as early as we were, but basically the first time Trump opened his mouth about the wall and about the immigrant problem, I said, he's the only choice.
Every one of us said it in unison.
He's the only person worth backing for this.
And we never relented from that.
Even when, like Peter did to our Savior, they denied us three times in pretty certain terms.
We still did what was right for the cause and what was right for our people, and that was backing Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
So we never let it get personal.
We never let the media's lies affect us.
We just kept on trucking.
But I'll tell you, of course, I was excited when he won on election night for the opportunity, the potential that his administration would have.
And of course, I was even more excited at that time that Hillary Clinton was defeated.
I think I was more excited on election night that she was defeated than Trump had won.
Because if she had not been defeated, it would have been all over.
No, that's absolutely.
It would have been the end of the American experiment as our founding fathers envisioned.
And it still, of course, teeters on a precipice.
But that's what I'm getting at.
So we were excited that we did our part for Trump.
And, of course, it was well documented throughout the last year, being one of the top 20 people responsible for his nomination, they say.
Anyway.
Media Matters said that.
And we were excited about all of that and the role we played.
But I'll tell you, I will tell you that I cooled.
My position on Trump cooled after the election was over when I started watching some of his administration appointees.
I was thinking, well, is he going to turn into a typical Republican?
Is he just going to be another establishment conservative?
Is he not going to be the nationalist and the populist that he appeared to be as a candidate?
So I was, again, I started to cool a little bit on Trump.
But then, then, then he got sworn in.
And I will tell you, as Keith and I said, we said together in unison, he has done more in the first six days of his administration than any other president has done in his first week on the job in American history.
Is that an exaggeration?
Not an exaggeration.
And really, he has done more.
He's managed to accomplish more in less time because he is smart enough to not fall into this conservative stance that you've got to do everything by the book.
He's taken his marching orders from Barack Obama.
He is using executive orders to undo some of the damage that the left has done to us.
And he is, you know, he is taking no prisoners.
I mean, the left is going to have to fasten their seatbelts because it's going to be a heck of a bumpy ride for them for the next eight years.
All right.
So this is, that was the introduction.
This is going to be the first hour.
The first hour.
What has Trump done in his first week on the job?
And that's what we're going to be breaking down.
There has been movement on the wall.
There's been movement on banning refugees from Muslim countries.
Everybody, I mean, he has made a move on really the most sensitive and critical aspects of his candidacy.
And he's done it immediately with a sense of urgency.
Folks, if what he has given us this first week, and I don't want to get too hot or too cold, I don't want to be too high or too low.
That's one of the things I really respect about the job we do here at the Political Secret Pool is that we're consistent.
We're steady.
We're not overly emotional.
I mean, certainly we're emotional in terms of our passion for our people and for our issues, but we don't get too high or too low with the week-to-week grind.
But I will tell you this, without trying to sound sensational, if Trump can give us a week like this, week in and week out for the next eight years, the world will be a totally different place when he leaves.
Well, the left cannot believe that they've lost and they can't believe the magnitude of their loss.
And I hope that their worst fears come to pass.
All right, when we come back after this first break of the evening, we are going to break down Trump's first week, the first week of the Trump administration.
What's he done?
We're going to give you all the highlights.
Stay tuned.
Be ready.
It's all good news.
Good news tonight.
That's news for the American people.

Okay, so basically how we have the show lined up this evening.
First hour, Trump's first week on the job.
What's he done?
We're going to tell you.
Second hour is the media sanctioning violence against white advocates.
Now, of course, everyone knows that Richard Spencer was violently assaulted in Washington, D.C. last week, the same day that Jared and Sam and I were walking around the streets of D.C., so was Richard.
And, well, you know what happened.
The video is up on our website.
It's been spread around, made national news.
What's surprising is not that he was attacked by some mass thug, but the way the media has responded to this.
We're going to break that into the second hour.
And then the third hour, we're going to talk about the political cesspools, latest exchanges with the media, and some other stories that have come across the deaths.
But first, this hour, okay, Trump's first week on the job.
Keith, it's gone as good as you could realistically imagine.
I think it has exceeded any realistic expectations.
Now we could say, well, if it was us, we'd have done this, this, this, and this, but it's never going to be us.
We're never going to be president of the United States.
So with a sitting president, I think it's gone better than anyone, even his most optimistic supporters could have expected.
Where do we begin?
There's so much to unpack here.
The fact that he put up a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office should have sent a big signal.
He did that in the early days.
Andrew Jackson, another populist, a nationalist.
Probably the former president most like Donald Trump, in my estimation.
Well, he was a guy who took care of the Indian problem.
He was a guy who fought the Battle of New Orleans.
He was a war hero.
He was a southerner.
He got the then equivalent of the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Central Bank, and took them on and defeated them.
So much good to say about Andrew Jackson, but this isn't the time or the place.
But the fact that he chose the portrait of Andrew Jackson, the much maligned Andrew Jackson, who was supposedly slated to be replaced by Harriet Tubman of the $20 bill.
I bet you that somehow gets scrubbed too under the Trump administration.
Well, let's hope so.
Let's hope so.
Let's hope so.
But Andrew Jackson, certainly one of our best, if not our best president in American history.
Hard to go against George Washington or Jefferson Davis.
But nevertheless, that's one thing.
That's just for fun.
You can keep that.
That's window dressing.
But he did put Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office, but that's just where it started.
Give us some of the highlights, Keith.
Well, let me just, first of all, as an overview, tell you this.
Here, what you need to understand is how important it is that Trump got into this position rather than somebody like Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz.
If they had gotten in, they would have said, well, we got to play according to the Marquis de Queensbury rules.
I'm not going to pull all this stuff through executive orders.
I'm going to go to Congress and ask pretty please and have the Democrats drag their feet as long as they can, slow walk everything that I'm trying to do.
They would have felt compelled to do that because they are more into the system and more into style rather than substance.
Trump doesn't worry about things like that.
He wants to get the job done.
He is a businessman.
He knows a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, and that's the route that he's always going to take.
So he used executive orders, and he learned his mentor on this was Barack Obama.
Barack Obama couldn't get anything through Congress, so he didn't even bother to do it.
He did it by executive order.
And I know there are some liberal, there's a liberal lawyer that I've talked to who was very upset, a lady, about Trump's election, but she was consoling herself back in November and December by saying, well, there's really not that much that Trump can do.
He's going to have to go to Congress.
I said, no, he won't.
I said, he'll go straight into change mode through the use of executive orders.
And that's exactly what he's done.
That's why he's made unprecedented progress in getting his agenda to become the law of the land so quickly.
Let's talk about the wall first.
He, again, we're talking about his first week on the job.
I think he knocked out a wide sword.
He has 13 executive orders of note.
A lot of that stuff he said he was going to do in his first hundred days, he started addressing in his first six, and we'll count Monday as his first official day on the job, even though he did some work over the weekend right after he was sworn in.
But the wall, he made a move on the wall.
He made an announcement on the wall.
And listen to this.
Now you even have Benjamin Netanyahu, B.B. Netanyahu, tweeted from his official Twitter account, President Trump is right.
I built a wall along Israel's border.
It stopped all illegal immigration.
Great success.
Great idea.
When is the last time you heard Israel cheering for American border security?
In fact, it's always been quite the opposite.
They wanted it for themselves, but for us, they wanted miscegenation and third world immigration.
But now he's even got the Israelis cheering on the building of a border wall.
Well, look, this is maybe Kushner does, but whoever.
This is part of the magic of Donald Trump.
If Trump is going to be something other than an interlude in this funeral march towards destruction and despair that the left has given us over the past 70 years or so, Donald Trump and the Republicans are going to have to peel off parts of the Democratic coalition.
Trump has already peeled off the white union workers in the Rust Belt.
That's really the key to his victory in this election.
But if he can peel off, let's say, a third of Jewish power and influence by playing the Zionist card, quite frankly, I don't care what happens over in the Middle East.
And I would much rather Jewish power and influence be focused on what's happening with Israel and their neighbors than trying to transform the United States of America.
So that would be a great advantage if he could peel off a Zionist contingent of the Jewish power and influence contingent in America.
Well, as long as he's not sacrificing his positions and what's best for Americans, yes, I mean, it's like we say on this show, we'll accept the help from anyone who doesn't disagree with our positions or doesn't contradict our positions.
If he can get beat, I'm not a fan of Netanyahu.
I'm not a fan of Zionists, but if he can get their help, let's face it, they can get things done.
Yeah, I'm a lot more interested in them not advancing the liberal agenda in America than I am with who winds up being king of the hill in the Mideast.
But that's just one thing.
So he has made concrete plans, no pun intended, on the wall, and that's something he has made a move on in his first week.
Now, let's talk about this quickly.
Are you going to stay on the wall?
Well, yeah, no, it's related.
So in addition to the wall, and you can go back to the wall if you want to because we're not getting too far off topic, but we're talking about border security here.
The wall is one thing, and, of course, one of the things that the wall does.
But the wall is a means to the end of border security.
And of course, the wall is being put into place to halt illegal immigration, but to enhance border security.
What about the illegals that are already here in some of these sanctuary cities?
Now, he has already made Miami get on its knees and submission.
The city of Miami, which is a sanctuary city, will no longer be a sanctuary city.
Now, there's still some other cities like New York and Chicago and others that say that they're digging in their heels and they're going to fight Trump.
Well, everybody who's fought Trump that I've seen since he turned to politics has gotten run over.
Bloody knows it the least.
And you know the kind of demographics that's going on in Miami.
It's a majority Hispanic city.
So that you know they didn't want to comply with law and order, but they have announced that they will comply with Trump.
They will no longer be a sanctuary city.
And I will tell you that these other cities will fall like dominoes, either the easy way or the hard way.
But Donald Trump has made Miami, a majority Hispanic city, get on board with being a non-sanctuary city.
You know a cuck like Rubio or Cruz would have never had the Cahones to get that done.
Absolutely.
And I think that the one exception will be California because they've got this far-leftist governor moonbeam, Jerry Brown, who has vowed eternal opposition to anything that Trump wants to do.
And also, places like San Francisco and Los Angeles have enough white wealth associated with them, quite frankly, that they can hold out.
Miami doesn't anymore.
And as a result, the prospect of losing all that money from the federal government hit the mayor of Miami, where he lived.
Now, how are we going to afford to pay for the wall?
That's what I wanted to get at earlier when you were leaving the wall, Jones.
Well, we may have to leave it until we come back.
But when we come back, that's a great point.
I'm glad you brought that up.
We will get to that immediately.
Keith Alexander is going to tell you Trump's plan to fund the wall.
That was always a sticking point there.
You got several.
And we'll tell you, we'll let Keith tell you right after this.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
News this hour from LibertyNewsDaily.com.
I'm William Grigg.
In an interview with the New York Times, chief White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, formerly the publisher of the Breitbart News media platform, described the mainline press as humiliated by an election outcome few among them had anticipated and repeatedly described the media as the opposition party of the current administration.
The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while, Bannon insisted during a telephone interview with The Times.
I want you to quote this, Mr. Bannon emphasized.
The media here is the opposition party.
They don't understand this country.
They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
Bannon's comments come less than a week after White House press spokesman Sean Spicer's angry debut in which he said that the administration would hold the media accountable.
Bannon's phone call with the Times was intended to discuss Spicer and the administration's posture toward the press.
The elite media got it dead wrong, 100% dead wrong, Mr. Bannon said, referring to the 2016 presidential election, calling it a humiliating defeat that they will never wash away, that will always be there.
The mainstream media has not fired or terminated anyone associated with following our campaign, Mr. Bannon complained.
Look at the Twitter feeds of those people.
They were outright activists of the Clinton campaign.
Bannon, who converted Breitbart News from a right-leaning adversarial press outlet into an unabashed propaganda asset of the Trump campaign, did not provide specific examples of media figures he believes should be fired from their jobs.

Donald Trump has delivered for his constituents on the issues that animated the American people to elect him president of the United States.
He has moved on the biggest issues that propelled him to the White House.
I think that is very rare.
Normally, your campaign rhetoric gets tapered down or forgotten completely once you win.
At least that's been the situation with the Republican Party and all their candidates over the past 50 years.
For these bought and paid for whores and the establishment GOP, that's been the way of the world, but it's totally different with Trump.
So we're talking about now his first week on the job.
He's delivered bigly, as he would say, on the pro-life issue.
We were just talking about that with Sam in the commercial break.
That is a huge issue that I guarantee you.
That's a social issue.
Social issues are always the issues that are the first to get thrown out once you get elected.
He made a big move on the pro-life front, but that's not what we're here to talk about right now.
But it is something afraid to tackle these contentious issues.
Well, let me say this about that, okay?
Trump has done more for the pro-life cause than Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, all these other so-called cultural conservatives combined, or anyone, Michelle Bachman, you name it.
He's the guy that's put his money where his mouth is, and he's getting stuff done.
He had Mike Pence show up at this march, and he also publicized the march and dressed down the mainstream media for not covering those women, the pro-life women, like they do the anti-life women, radical feminists that gave the, you know, had their whole march last weekend.
But think about this.
He's even doing better than Michelle Obama could do on one of her signature issues.
If you think about it this way, all of those degenerates that were protesting him in the Woman's March, we covered this on the show last week also.
He got more fat women out to walk in one day than Michelle Obama did in eight years.
But anyway, the funding of the wall.
We were going to come back this segment.
He's going to build the wall.
He's made a movement on building the wall.
But this isn't something that he's forgotten about now that he's president, as he's not suffering from the campaign amnesia.
How did he propose to build it to?
Well, here's what he's done.
You know, he hasn't built the wall yet.
Obviously.
He has said that he's going into full planning mode to get it done.
He realizes that the proper sequence is ready, aim, fire, not ready, fire, aim.
He's not going to start laying the bricks until he knows what he's going to do.
But the fact that he's even talking about it now is a huge good sign.
Well, he said, he's basically done the kickoff.
He said, we're now got the planning and it will proceed apace.
He's also going to use Netanyahu's West Wall.
I mean, West, you know, the Western Wall in Jerusalem as a model.
They have the best wall they have.
We said that over and over last year.
Yeah, we said it made the Great Wall of China look like a chicken coop fence.
But nonetheless, he knows where to go to get it done.
But how are we going to pay for it?
Well, he's not backing down.
He basically used the opportunity of the Mexican prime minister's proposed visit as an opportunity to say, if he's not going to agree to pay for the wall, there's no reason for us to meet.
And of course, the Mexican president backed off, but then the Mexican president realizes how vulnerable his nation is and how much they need America so that he's been burning up the phone lines back and forth with Trump, trying to set some other time.
But he's got, you know, public relations battles of his own to fight in Mexico.
But there are so many ways to do it.
One, you could put a tariff on Mexican-produced goods coming into the United States.
That would be the most effective and the most direct way to do this.
Because if he does that, that will prevent goods coming in from Mexico.
That will stop the outsourcing of jobs.
Building the wall will stop the insourcing of cheap labor.
So we'll have both ends covered on that.
The other thing he can do is start taxing remittances.
Most of these Mexicans that come over here and work send money back to the home country to help their families.
Well, he could tax those at a high rate or medium rate or whatever, whatever is necessary to pay for the wall.
And there are other ways of doing this as well.
He's, you know, he can, there was some other way I thought of that is escaping me right now.
But anyway, he has multiple options.
So he says, you know, don't doubt that I'm going to do it.
I'm just going to figure out which is the most efficacious way to get it done, and I'm going to do it.
All right.
So he's making movement on building the wall.
He is making movement against sanctuary cities.
And oh, by the way, talking about Chicago, he actually tweeted out a comment about Chicago saying if Chicago didn't curtail its war zone-like crime rates, that he was going to send in the feds.
And then all of the media and all of these social warriors with one voice said, How dare any American president threaten to send in troops into an American city?
Hello, hello, folks.
What about Little Rock in 1957 with the U.S. troops coming in there to integrate Central High School?
What about 1962 when the feds were sent to Oxford, Mississippi to integrate the University of Mississippi?
What about Selma?
What about all of these other situations?
George Wallace at the University of George Wallace at the schoolhouse door, all of this.
And see, the thing about that was the Southerners were right.
The Southerners were standing up for the laws of their state.
And the principle of federalism.
And they were standing up for the will of the people, too.
And they were standing up for the laws of their state.
That you had, once again, the federal government coming in and circumventing the laws of the state.
What you have here, though, are city governments violating the laws of the state.
And in this case, Trump not breaking the law would be going in to enforce the law, which is totally different than what the federal government is.
But what he's doing, he's doing exactly what he's doing with the executive orders.
He's using the liberal weapon to beat on the liberals with.
They're the ones that said it was all right for the federal government to come in and preempt local law, state law, and city law in order to enforce their vision of the law.
And so consequently, Trump's going to do the same thing on these companies.
And it's turnabout is fair play.
What's good for the goose is good for the government.
The president has certainly said, as you said, but again, the South was only enforcing the laws, whereas these people are breaking the laws, and Trump would be coming in to enforce the law rather than break the law as they did in the South, if you can keep up with all that.
But basically, they're the ones that said the federal government rules supreme.
Trump is doing that, and they're spitting mad about it.
He's beating them with their own weapon.
Made big moves on the wall, big moves on pro-life, put up Andrew Jackson's portrait, gave Alex Jones White House press credentials.
He's continued his war against the media.
And how about this?
He's also made a move on refugees.
The two biggest things that really set his campaign apart from anything we've seen since Pat Buchanan was the wall and restricting immigration from these Muslim countries that are sending in all these refugees.
Well, here's the news.
Refugees who were en route to the United States have been detained at U.S. airports, and they're going to be sent back.
They're going to be sent back, and the media is shrieking that there are actually offices in some of these foreign countries to where American agents are helping these refugees get everything in order to come on over here.
And they're saying those people have been all pulled back.
That's over.
It's over.
The ACLU has hired 1,000 people to facilitate bringing lawsuits for all people that find themselves in this situation, would-be refugees that are thwarted in their efforts to get to the United States.
I didn't know a Muslim from some godforsaken country that has, you have no idea who they are.
I didn't know they had the rights of American citizen to come here.
Maybe we'll find out.
The ACLU is another leftist organization.
They are not unbiased.
They're not objective.
Proving it once again.
But Trump is like Admiral Farragut saying, damn the torpedoes full speed ahead.
Well, I believe that was a Yankee, so he's not welcome to be quoted on this show.
But hey, it's a good quote anyway.
It is a good quote.
I'll give you that.
I hope he got sunk.
I don't think he did, though.
He won the Battle of Mobile Bay, unfortunately.
Well, like I said, we're not going to talk about that.
But okay, so Trump, again, keep this in perspective, folks.
We're not giving you a year in review of what Trump did in the first year.
This is the first week.
And the first week just ended.
He just got supported.
What he got done in a week is more than most presidents get done in the first year.
The pipeline.
We got about a minute left, and we got to get to scoop.
But the pipeline.
The pipeline is for energy independence.
We need to be energy independent.
We don't need to be relying on the Saudis or any other group of people that hate us for the necessities of our lives.
This is another move that he's made this week.
Yeah, he's giving the green light to constructing the Keystone Pipeline and the Dakota pipeline.
And furthermore, he said it's going to be built with American pipe, pipe manufactured in America.
He's basically given the U.S. steel industry 90 days in which to come up with a plan and what they need to do.
And what he's also doing in this area and elsewhere is basically shoveling out all these regulations that allowed the Democrats and the liberals to slow walk projects like the Keystone Pipeline and prevent them from coming into reality.
All right.
So just a reality check, just to recap.
He has moved on the building of the wall.
He has moved on the Muslim band.
He has made strides for the pro-life community.
The people, you know, who actually elected him, he's actually giving them something.
Can you imagine that?
On the pipeline, Andrew Jackson's portrait is hanging six days.
Now, when Scoop Stanton comes up, he's going to recap some of the things we just mentioned, but he has a whole nother list of things that Donald Trump has done.
He's going to give you a laundry list, a plethora, and some of the things we've been doing some of the things we have.
But Scoop is going to continue the hit parade on all the good Donald Trump has done in his first week in office.
So stay tuned for that before we shift gears in the second hour.
We'll be right back.

You know, if Donald Trump gives us this much material every week, the next four to eight years of the political cesspool are going to be highly happy.
Nightly or six-hour shows.
You get that right, Keith.
Well, Keith and I have gotten, we managed to get the bases loaded in the first three segments, and then we're going to bring in the heavy hitter, Scoop.
I didn't clean up.
He's going to knock it out of the park and give us a grand slam.
So, Scoop, we've been talking about some of the good that Trump has done in his first week in office, and I know you've got a list that even has more items than what we've been able to cover so far, and you're going to do a little rapid-fire bullet point.
Take it away, Scoop.
All right, thank you, James.
First, let's do the roll call of those we lost line of duty.
First, Detective Jerry Walker of the Little Elm, Texas Police Department, in the watch, January 17th.
Deputy Colt Allery of the Rollette County, North Dakota Sheriff's Office, in the Watch, January 18th.
Police Officer Michael Luveri of the West Wegg, Louisiana Police Department, in the Watch, January the 20th.
And finally, Luis Trux, who's one of the founders of the Ullman Brothers bands and one of the best bands on the planet.
He died January 24th from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
But now, he wasn't a police officer, though, was he?
No, no, he was a drummer for the Ullman Brothers band, which was found.
It was a southern band from Middle Florida.
But here's the thing.
Trump's was having some financial issues, and he had a lien against the condominium in Florida.
So, of course, the IRS, you know, it was taken out on a 69-year-old senior citizen.
But anyways, he and Eddie could have shared stories.
Anyway, we won't dwell.
But anyways, now for the good news.
President Trump's first 100 days was over in six.
I have never seen a president work like this.
First, he started a rollback of Obamacare.
Next, he withdrew from the Job Killing Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP.
Then, he thankfully put a hiring fees on federal workers except the military, public safety, and public health workers.
Then he signed the executive order opening the Keystone and XL pipeline to help us get off the teeth of Saudi Arabia oil.
And on top of that, he required that the pipe that's bringing this oil shell from Canada to the U.S. be made in the USA.
So that's going to bring back steel jobs.
Next, he signs the executive order building a wall on the Mexican border, and he wants to find a way for Mexico to pay for it.
We're still not done.
Trump also directed so-called sanctuary cities no longer receive federal monies hiding these people that should not be here in the first place.
These people are more or less trespassing.
And people like Bill de Blasio are flipping their wigs.
And then he stopped the flow of Middle Eastern people from terror-sponsored nation, and then he fired the head of the Border Patrol.
Also, he held meetings with the captains of industry, including the big three automakers, to bring back American jobs.
Then after swearing in, James Med Dog Man is for Secretary of Defense.
He was talking, he talked about how he was going to go to Congress to build up a military that's second to none.
His predecessor killed the military.
We are a joke.
Then he also spoke about cutting corporate taxes and regulations to stimulate the economy and bring back jobs.
And then, not to be outdone, he held a reception for those who fired security at the inauguration, all police officers, Secret Service officers, and SBI agents, including the director, Mr. Comey, at a reception at the White House and praised law enforcement, unlike, once again, his predecessor that did nothing but criticize law enforcement.
So that's Trump in one week and one week alone.
I'll be the first to say, I'm endorsing Trump for 2020.
James Key, Texas.
Okay, well, Scoop, this is Keith.
Let me just say this.
The reason Trump has been able to make so much progress in such a short period of time is that unlike a Ted Cruz or a Marco Rubio, he doesn't insist on following the constitutional pattern of going to the legislature.
He learned from the maestro himself, Barack Obama, about the use of executive orders.
And he's a businessman.
He knows that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
So that's the route he's always going to take.
And that's why we're getting so much done under the Trump administration that would never have gotten done under any other Republican or especially no Democrat.
But, you know, he is the one person that can affect real change and affect it quickly in America.
Well, you bring up a good point, Keith, but unlike Obama, he is doing some of these things, but what he's doing is not a violation of the Constitution.
It's not a violation of the Constitution to secure the border.
It's not a violation of the Constitution to not allow people from terror-sponsoring nations to come over.
But this is why I assigned this segment to Scoop.
So you and I, Keith, have done, if I say so myself, a pretty banged-up job of talking about some of the things Trump has done in his future.
We covered three of them, and Scoop gets in here and covers how many?
13 or so.
Well, and I tell you, some of the stuff that he brought up was some of the stuff that we had left out that is still very, very important.
We had talked about the wall, Trump's dealing with the sanctuary cities, cutting off this immigration from terror-sponsoring nations.
But then Scoop brings up Keystone Pipeline.
Keystone pipelined it.
Well, Scoop brought that up too.
But Obamacare, yes, he is beginning to formalize his plan to shred Obamacare.
What Scoop mentioned about the TPP, the fact that he met with captains of industry, as Scoop mentioned it, to stimulate the economy and our manufacturing base, hiring freeze on federal workers.
That's huge.
Somebody like Ted Cruz would have said, oh, it's unseemly of me to get in touch with these captains of industry and actually beg for jobs for America.
Well, that's where the rubber meets the road.
That's where people get actual jobs.
And Trump knows that.
He is a practical leader, and he's a leader.
He's not a philosopher like Ted Cruz would imagine himself to be.
So consequently, he's taken all of these self-imposed shackles off, and he's going to go straight for the jugular.
He's going to get America working again, and he's going to make America great again.
I want to toss it back to Scoop, but one more thing I want to say, and we mentioned this during the commercial break, and this should not be discounted.
We kind of glossed over it earlier in the show.
But his movement on the pro-life issue.
I mean, look at all of these issues.
These are vast and varied, but the pro-life issue, that is an issue that liars campaign on in the Republican primaries in Iowa and in South Carolina.
And once they get in, the silence is deafening.
Instead, as soon as Trump gets in, he sends Mike Pence, the vice president, to be a keynote speaker at the rally.
And so, yeah, pro-life issues, these social issues never get any play from even George Bush, who pretended his biggest hero was Jesus Christ in the primary.
Well, we see movement on the wall on Obamacare, on refugees, so-called refugees.
I mean, let's not call them that.
But you know what I'm talking about.
The sanctuary cities, freeze on federal workers, pro-life, on and on and on.
He has been great.
Scoop, what else do you got for us?
Oh, I also forgot to mention he put some fortress back in the Oval Office for some of our founding fathers, including President Andrew Jackson.
We definitely mentioned that.
That should be mentioned again and again.
Right.
Also, his press secretary, Spicer, is going toe-to-toe with the media.
They don't like that.
He's using Twitter.
The media don't like that.
I can honestly say right now in Washington, D.C., I see zero make America great hats.
Well, you're going to see a bunch of people unemployed up there because he's put this new regulation out, Scoop, where he says that if federal employees tweet or email things negative about his administration or about the work being done at these agencies, that that's going to be a disciplinary infractions, which would subject them to firing.
Well, there was one Secret Service agent that said he wouldn't take a bullet for Trump.
I don't know what's going to happen to that guy.
But anyway, Scoop, I tell you, I will look forward.
They don't really come out much in the winter, but when it warms up, they get more frisky.
I can't wait.
I mean, I don't want to see this, but God forbid it should happen.
If Black Lives Matter goes berserk again, I'd like to see a Trump administration handle that.
I'd like to see them handle that the way the Portland police, the Portland police, in Portland, Oregon, of all places, a very liberal city, they just plowed down some protesters last week.
I mean, they put them to the ground.
But Scoop, final word to you, brother.
Well, summer's coming up pretty soon, so I'll look for more protests.
Also, since if you notice, since Trump took office, Black Lives Matter has been very, very, very quiet.
One thing I don't like is Trump's threatening to send the feds to Chicago.
I like that, actually.
Well, it's the one thing that the mayor asked for federal system.
But if Trump says, hey, I'm sending troops, I'm sending the National Guard.
You know, that's the Constitution.
That's the number one number two.
We see it a little differently here in the South, Scoop, but that's what we said.
That's what our ancestors said.
If it was good for the goose, it's going to be good for the Gander now.
Well, you know why we're having so much trouble?
The police are having so much trouble with black suspects now?
When they tell them to get down, they start dancing.
Well, here's another thing to consider, Scoop, in Chicago.
I understand your concerns about the Constitution, and we share those.
But to consider this, though, what those people are doing, what these elected officials are doing, is in violation of federal law.
You can't house illegal aliens and give them taxpayers' support.
And so that would actually be Trump.
This is very different.
This would be Trump actually enforcing the laws.
Hey, change your gears real quick.
One thing Trump has to do, he still has to nominate or appoint Jim Lancey as ambassador to South Africa.
We're still waiting for that.
That's right.
That's the real refugees, the deserving refugees.
That's right.
Well, he is doing one other thing that's good.
If he's getting people from the Midwest, I mean Mideast, he's bringing in Christians.
They're the people that are persecuted.
I'm glad you brought that up because he was asked that specifically.
He said, will persecution of Christians abroad be something that he's concerned with?
And he said, absolutely.
In no uncertain terms, he said, yes, we're going to help Christians who are being persecuted abroad.
And you have all these precious fundamentalists that are saying that he's not Christian enough.
Let me tell you, he's doing a lot more for Christians than any of his predecessors.
That's exactly right.
He's done a hell of a lot more than Russell Moore's ever done.
Amen.
So, all right, Scoop, great segment.
I don't think that first hour could have gone any more smoothly.
That's just Trump's first week in office.
Donald, Mr. President, I should say, continue that every week.
Give us an hour of your greatest hits every week, and this show is going to be a lot more enjoyable.
We'll be back with the second hour right after this.
Another basis of the political cesspool is in the can, but don't go away.
