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.
After a tour of the Pacific Northwest, it's great to be back in the South tonight.
Welcome to tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool.
This Saturday evening, April the 8th, James Edwards and Keith Alexander back in studio together here in Memphis, Tennessee for what promises to be another riveting broadcast of TPC.
Let's get right down to it, ladies and gentlemen.
Donald Trump has betrayed his voters and disgraced this country by authorizing missile strikes in Syria, and we are going to offer a curt analysis of this foreign misadventure during tonight's show.
It was a grievous blunder.
But more importantly, tonight officially kicks off TPC's annual celebration of Confederate History Month.
So it's going to be an hour and a half of unfortunate commentary and then an hour and a half of what I think will be uplifting commentary.
As I mentioned last week, we have five Saturdays in this particular April, in April 2017.
So it's one more Saturday than we're used to.
Last week with me being on the road and us needing to work in the guests from South Africa, we postponed our beginning to Confederate History Month coverage one week.
So that starts tonight.
It's already started on the website.
Lots of good posts up there.
I was excited, actually, to see how many emails came in from people saying they were disappointed that we didn't start Confederate History Month coverage last week.
I explained why we didn't.
And these were people from all over the country, not just the South.
So I'm excited to know that there are listeners out there that look forward to this series every year.
And it's going to be happening in grand fashion tonight.
Dr. Michael Hill, president of the League of the South, is rejoining us this evening to be our guest as we talk about the heroes and the values that gave birth to the Confederate States of America, why we should continue to revere the sacrifices our southern ancestors made, and much, much more.
That's coming up in the second half of the show.
But first, what happened in Syria this week.
I've got a two-minute clip, and then I'm going to turn Keith Alexander the Great Loose.
This is Richard Spencer offering a brief synopsis on Donald Trump's foreign misadventure.
Let's hear it.
It has been an intense 48 hours, to say the least.
The world has changed.
I think we've all changed a little bit along with it.
It is late night on Thursday, April 6th.
I guess it's April 7th by now.
And I have to be brutally honest.
I am deeply disappointed in Donald Trump.
I'm shocked and I'm angry.
And I am ready to condemn Donald Trump.
I certainly condemn these actions that were just taken in Syria.
I assume you've heard this if you're watching this video, but there was a limited, granite, strategic airstrike of a Syrian air base that supposedly was involved in this terrible attack, the chemical weapons attack.
We have to maybe destroy the world to make those pictures go away for all these, you know, female diplomats like Nikki Haley or Viagra-popping baby boomer generals like General Mathis or Jared Kushner, who's probably pursuing his own aims.
We need to basically risk blowing up the world over this matter.
No one voted for this.
No one voted for Donald Trump in order for him to engage in these kinds of senseless, insane military interventions.
And actually millions of people, including myself, voted for Donald Trump in large part because he was the right way to avoid these kinds of wars.
Okay, so that two-minute short commentary, you can watch the entire video.
It's 20 minutes that Richard Spencer did on YouTube.
We'll post it to our site next week, thepoliticalcesspool.org.
But Keith, of course, Richard's right.
One of the things that was so refreshing about candidate Trump was that he actually took the former Republican administrations to task for these unconstitutional, illegal wars.
Donald Trump many times says we can't be bombing countries without congressional approval.
He specifically pointed out Syria as a place we should stay out of.
And yet, here we are.
Here we are.
The question is, Keith, why?
Well, I think it's Jewish power and influence, the old perennial culprit.
Jewish power and influence again in the White House.
We have a Trojan horse in the White House, the Kushners.
That's Ivanka, as well as her husband, Jared, although Jared seems to be the alpha out of the pair, the one that is basically pushing the agenda.
He's the one who got Corey Lewandowski fired.
And then when Jared basically was in charge, Paul Manafort was supposedly or at least officially in charge of the campaign after Corey Lewandowski left.
But the person really pulling the strings was Jared Kushner.
What happened?
Trump's campaign started to flounder badly.
Then Steve Bannon steps in and writes a ship.
Now, it looks as if, you know, one day before this strike on the Syrian airport or whatnot, Steve Bannon gets banished from the National Security Council.
He loses his seat.
Then the next day, we have this bombing mission, and all the neocons and all the liberal Jews go gaga, okay?
Just remember this.
Jared Kushner is a New York Jew, and there's no Jew more liberal than a New York Jew.
And that's what we have here.
We have this guy basically taking over.
And it looks as if not only is Bannon walking on thin ice, so is Rinch Prievas.
You know, who knew that he was such a conservative stalwart or something that they felt they needed to purge him?
But he apparently has his head on the chopping block as well.
It looks as if we're going to have more Jews in the White House than they have in the Knesset, James.
Well, Paul Wolfowitz is back in the fold in a manner of speaking.
You have Bill Crystal ecstatic, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, all celebrating Trump.
Hey, those aren't the people that got you elected, Donald.
They were all never Trumpers at one point or another.
Every one of those people that you named were never Trumpers.
Meanwhile, Trump's base, the people that actually went out and pulled the lever for him in the voting booth, white Gentiles, particularly from Red State of America, where are they?
The silence is deafening.
We have Jeff Sessions In, you know, Jeff Sessions and then Nikki Haley, of course, is not really a person from Red State America.
She's an immigrant.
Reminds me of that PJ Proby song from the 1960s, Nikki Hokey.
I'm going to start calling her Nikki Hokey from now on out.
But nonetheless, where are the Red State Americans?
Steve Bannon is a spokesman for Red State America and the people that got Trump elected.
He apparently is getting ready to be shown the door.
Jeff Sessions is in, but where are the rest of them?
They're nowhere.
Is this the way to treat your base?
Apparently, Trump is distancing himself from his base.
This is a big question.
The first question is why.
Now, we don't have a definitive answer, but we're going to take a good shot at it tonight.
A radical departure for President Trump on a very important foreign policy issue, a radical departure from candidate Trump, a man that we were very excited about.
And rightly so.
I don't regret that excitement.
I don't regret what we did in 2016 based upon what we knew at that time.
But times have changed, and we'll tell you where we're going right after this.
Okay, let's try this.
Honey, I've got some surprising news.
No.
Okay, this will work.
Guess who's going to have a baby?
No, that's not it.
I don't know.
Hi, honey.
Are you okay?
Jill's pregnant.
Our Jill?
She's just a kid.
I know.
But, you know, nothing really has to change when the baby comes.
I'll help her.
We'll just help her, right?
We never thought it would happen to our Jill or to us.
We didn't know how to best help her through the tough decisions she'd have to make.
Thankfully, we found that help.
And not just for her, but for us too.
We're here to listen.
We're here to help.

All right, Keith, we're talking about a stunning about face from Donald Trump from his campaign rhetoric on one of the most important issues that got us excited about him in the first place.
One of the things that was so wonderfully refreshing about Trump was that he was taking a George Washington or Pat Buchanan formed policy stance, or so it appeared, as a candidate, and he was doing it as a Republican while openly mocking previous Republican administration's positions on these sorts of interventions.
And now he's doing the same thing that they all have done.
So I've got this email that came in from one of our listeners in London, England, also a loyal contributor.
Hi, James.
Looking forward to the show to get your and Keith's take on Trump's attack on Syria.
I think the Jews are either controlling him now or we were conned all along.
What drives me nuts is that McCain, Graham, and even the Lipthard Schumer are supporting Trump's unconstitutional act.
I agree with Ron and Rand Paul that it's doubtful Assad had the attack or did the attack, I should say.
But even if he did, it's none of our business.
And Assad would have gotten the poison gas from Joe Biden's puppet master, DuPont.
The U.S. is the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of chemical weapons.
Please spare me the sanctimonious tears.
I hope I'm proven wrong, but we may have to begin supporting anti-Trump candidates in 2008.
This listener brings forth an excellent question.
Was candidate Trump sincere?
I mean, we'll never know for sure, but what's your take?
Was he sincere?
Or do you think that it was just a con all along?
I would say he was sincere.
I don't understand why we are now where we are, but it's not like Trump was a Bush or a McCain or any of these other presidents who were bought and paid for from the beginning.
They didn't have the guts, the toughness, the money to win.
Trump was a self-made billionaire.
He had international name recognition as a celebrity.
He was a once-in-a-civilization candidate, and he had a chance to be great, and he may be blowing it.
Now we're three weeks into a four-year campaign.
This is a major blunder.
It doesn't define his entire presidency yet, but it's not a good sign.
So was what happened?
I mean, I get it.
We asked, what happened?
I don't think it was Kushner.
I don't think his, I mean, Kushner's obviously giving him bad advice.
There's no doubt about that.
But I don't think his son-in-law is going to be running him.
It's got to be something.
Well, Jewish power influence certainly is running him.
At least, that's the way I look at it.
Henry Kissinger is Jewish.
Duh.
So is Jared Kushner.
Jared Kushner is a part of his household, a part of his family, who now has an office in the West Wing of the White House.
So I think we can't dismiss Kushner's influence.
He already purged Corey Lewandowski from the Trump administration.
And Bannon may be on his way up.
And furthermore, Ranch Prievis, and who's going to replace him?
Gary Cohn.
Who's the number two man at Goldman Sachs, who is already in the administration as a financial guru?
Well, he's a possibility.
They have a guy named Steve Urban, and if he's not a member of the tribe, I'll leave my hat, who is going to is in line to replace Rance Prievis if Rance Prievis is shown the door also.
What I see here are echoes of the George W. Bush administration.
In fact, I'm afraid that Trump's presidency may be George W. Bush's presidency round two, because I remember, I have this long of a historical memory.
I remember when George W. Bush was running for president in the run-up to 2000, and he said that America needed a humbler foreign policy.
In other words, we don't need to be considering ourselves to be holier than thou and righteous and the people that go in there are going to right every wrong and we have wisdom that trumps every other nation's sensibilities and whatnot.
And then once he gets in, what did the neocons do?
They were surprised.
They thought that Gore was going to win.
Remember, it came down to a vote count in Florida that was contested all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Well, when he got in unexpectedly, next thing you know, you've got these neocon luminaries like Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl, Michael Ladine showing up as foreign policy advisors.
They're giving him a volume of Natan Sharonsky, big neocon, to read.
That was his nightly reading.
And the next thing you know, he has converted.
He is in to invade the world and invite the world to America.
And I see this similar metamorphosis possibly happening with Donald Trump.
This is what I want you to answer.
And again, your guess is as good as anyone else's, probably a little better than most, but we won't know for sure.
Was candidate Trump the real Trump or is this the real Trump?
Because you can't be both.
Well, I think his instincts, his gut instincts, were similar to us in Red State America.
On the other hand, you've got to understand he was born and bred in that briar patch called New York City.
And if you live in New York City and you make a financial success of things, it's because you've made peace with the tribe, with the sons of Israel, okay?
So he's very familiar with them.
They're involved in him.
He respects their smarts when it comes to finances and things like this.
Quite frankly, he would never have built a skyscraper if he hadn't gotten them on his team.
And now they're taking over.
He's like so many Republican candidates, he forgets who elected him.
The people that elected him, the people that were never, never Trumpers, the people that were supporting him from the very beginning were the white Gentiles of Red State America.
Where are they in his cabinet?
Where are they in his administration?
Where are they in the White House staff?
The silence is deafening.
They're not there.
And now he's going to purge the very few that he has, Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus, seem to be on the chopping block.
And I'm sure they'll find some way to criticize Jeff Sessions for this is all over with and try to grease the skids to get rid of him.
This is, I think, you know, I think that Trump is kind of a shallow guy like George W. Bush.
I told people before I had 200 points higher on the SAT than George W. Bush.
They had an article in U.S. News and World Report in 2000 in the run-up that gave the SAT scores of both Gore and Bush.
Bush had a 146.
Gore had a 141.
I mean, a 1041 and a 1046.
I had a 1253.
Okay.
Well, that means that if you talk to both of us at a cocktail party, you would consider me smarter after talking with us for as little as 15 minutes.
Okay.
Now, same thing with Donald Trump.
I think he has good instincts.
I think he's a quick study.
I don't think he's a deep thinker.
And he got bamboozled because they're doing to him just what they did to George W. Bush, which is picking and stovepiping intelligence.
I don't know that he even knows that the Russians and the Syrians say that this was, you know, it was either a false flag or it was a bomb that hit a canister of this nerve gas that the other side had and was going to use it.
Why in the world would he use chemical gas when on March the 30th, Nikki Haley, our representative to the UN, said that Assad was off the radar.
Why would he do something within less than a week to make himself a firestorm?
And this weapon basically, remember this, killed a few dozen people.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
That's a great point.
And you also said during our pre-show prep that you think it could be as simple, this is just that, you know, we're throwing this out there, that the constant battering, the constant erosion of Trump by the press, by the Republicans, by the Democrats, by everybody except the supporters who got him elected, who he really hasn't thrown a lot of red meat to as president, not at all.
You just said, hey, it could be as simple as he wants some praise and adulation from the establishment.
He wants the media to lay off him.
Maybe he's worn out.
Yeah, I think that's very, very possible, James.
And I think that he's one he likes to win.
And he's in a situation where other people's perceptions are the ultimate reality.
And the people that have all the microphones are his enemies on the left, on one hand, and the neocons at the Weekly Standard and the National Review on the other.
And now, miraculously, lo and behold, these people are all in his corner and his supporters are left out in the cold.
All right, listen, we're going to continue to cover this for the rest of the first hour.
Good things to come.
Positive things, happy things.
Confederate History Month.
We're going to do it big later on in the show, but more on the strikes in Syria.
Our take on it when TPC rolls on tonight.
Proclaiming liberty across the land.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
With Liberty News this hour, I'm Dennis Daly.
About 70% of Navy instructor pilots at three Naval Aviation Jet Training Bases say they will not fly until the Navy fixes the onboard oxygen systems, which occasionally do not provide enough oxygen and also introduce toxic substances as it concentrates gas into the atmosphere into something you can breathe.
That problem may be related to secret government programs injecting chemicals in the air through what some people are calling chemtrailing.
Amid what went on yesterday, both in Washington and overseas, it was announced that President Trump had removed Steve Bannon from the National Security Council.
Bannon was Trump's eyes and ears on the NSC, but his new national security advisor didn't like it and demanded he be removed.
Trump complied, showing that he lacks understanding about how presidents are manipulated by the National Security Council, which gets, quote, its daily marching orders, some say, from Henry Kissinger and his friends.
That according to James Jones, who was President Obama's first national security advisor.

Another one of our very favorite listeners, Keith, sent in a couple of emails about this.
We got a lot of emails from people really wanting to hear our take on what happened in Syria, and we appreciate the trust and confidence that these good people have in us, in our ability to do a decent job.
This one comes from a dear friend in Texas.
James, we knew this day might come, and I've been pretty upset.
The thesis, America First.
Antithesis, Dead Baby Pictures.
Synthesis, Full Neocon.
I'm expecting you and Keith to tear it up tonight.
Don't pull any punches.
One thought.
If Trump were a southerner, perhaps he would have known better, had a better knowledge and a sense of history, including the history of the Middle East.
He would totally.
And he would know better than to do what he has done.
Go with your instincts.
They've been pretty sound ever since I've been listening.
And this man has been listening for a long, long time.
I would say this.
I want to be reasonable tonight.
We have tried to be even keel with Trump since he descended from that golden escalator in the summer of 2015.
And there's no doubt about it.
I described it as a grievous blunder.
And that's probably putting it a little lightly.
This is very, very bad.
But again, we are three months into a four-year term.
This isn't the end of Trump, but the trajectory is not good.
Now, let's remember, one month into the administration, the end of February of this year, we had Jared Taylor and Kevin McDonald on, and we all gave out grades to the Trump administration for the first month that ranged from, I believe, a B minus to an A.
And at that time, Trump had come out of the gates trying to implement the travel ban.
Since then, a couple of judges have said, no, Trump, you can't do that.
We have more power than you.
And he's basically surrendered that, as best I can tell.
He also appointed or nominated, I should say, Gorsik.
It could have been better.
It could have been worse.
We were okay with that.
Those were two of the biggest maneuverings he took in his first month as president.
And we were pretty pleased with that.
Ben, since then, since then, since that first month, it has been all downhill to this point.
A debacle with health care, horrible plan.
It got beaten.
Of course, this situation in Syria, and then not much movement at all on any of the key issues that brought his candidacy to life and got him elected president.
I would say probably there's been less illegal immigration with Trump as president thus far than there would have been had Hillary Clinton been in there.
I don't regret the work that we did for Trump in 2016 because otherwise it would have been Clinton in there.
But right now, the trajectory is pointing down, and we have to see whether or not he will be able to pull this plane up, get the nose up on this plane.
So, Keith, with that, take it from there.
I would say if I had to reassess the Trump administration so far, it would be a D plus.
I'd give it a C minus.
Here's what I would say.
First of all, don't be too tough on the first three months.
Everything that he could do by himself, executive orders, has been pretty positive so far.
Now, we didn't expect him to get a lot of support from the neocon Congress or the liberals in the Democratic Party, and he hasn't.
But he did, for example, pull the trigger on the nuclear option.
He, like Dr. Strangelove, learned to stop worrying and love the bomb and do that.
Everything was fine, at least in my mind.
I didn't think that he had betrayed anyone until this Syrian incursion, this Syrian strike.
And it could be that this is just a way to get the sharks off of his back, and he's going to have Tillerson go over to Russia and reassure Putin that everything is fine.
He just needs to do something to get these people off his back before he made any type of friendly overture towards Russia.
Now, if that happens, then maybe it was just a strategy.
Well, I want to toss it back to you very quickly, Keith, but I do want to say this, as we always said with Trump, because at first when he came down, I was very skeptical, and then he won me over by taking on the entire global elite during that campaign, or at least seemingly so.
Now, with Trump, we're not going to get too high, and we're not going to get too low when he does things we like.
We have said this from day one.
We're going to offer him our verbal support and votes and physical support and all of that.
But when he does things like this, we're not going to give him a pass either.
But we're not going to say at any given point, Trump's the greatest president or the worst president based on the news of the week.
This, whatever, even this right now, even though it's a big deal, in a month it'll be forgotten and we'll be on to the next thing.
Well, you know, we knew that Trump basically could not afford to come out as being squishy on Russia or else he was going to catch hellfire and brimstone from the liberal press and from the neocons.
Now, he is now getting his praises sung by the neocons and by the liberal press.
So the pressure is off at least temporarily.
And remember, he called the Russians and said, get your people out of here.
I don't want any Russian casualties.
That was a good sign.
But, you know, Nikki Haley's comment before the Supreme, before the United Nations was absolutely nonsensical.
It said that the vital interests of the United States required this strike.
No, it didn't at all.
The vital interests of the United States have nothing to do with this event.
What it has to do is this idea that America is the global policeman that the U.N. has anointed us to be.
We're the ones that go in and right every wrong, like Superman or the Lone Ranger or something.
And we're talking about a few dozen people in a bad war.
This is a war where you're bombing civilians as a matter of course.
You're destroying entire cities, turning them into rubble.
And we're concerned about a few dozen deaths.
And it looks like what may well have happened is that when Assad was bombing his enemies and that enemy encampment, they had some sarin gas and it got, it was in a canister or something that got ruptured by the bombing, and that's what caused this.
Of course, you're getting none of that in the mainstream media.
They will not even report the fact that it could, one, be a false flag, or two, it might have been an accidental consequence of bombing the opponents who we know do have sarin gas.
The opponents of Assad have sarin gas as well as Assad had it in the past.
And why would Assad at this moment, when the pressure was off him, suddenly use this for the dubious advantage of basically killing a few dozen people in this suburb of, you know, it just doesn't make any sense.
It almost smacks of false flag.
Almost certainly a false flag.
But even if it's not, even if Assad did it, honestly, I don't mean to be cold.
I don't care.
Even if he did it, I say I don't care enough for America to get involved in the world.
If you're a nationalist, you don't want to be the world's policeman.
If you want to be the world's policeman, you're not a nationalist.
That's just, you know, that's, you know, that's an inescapable consequence of deductive reasoning.
So consequently, we need to ask two vital questions.
One, why Assad?
Why is Assad such a bad guy in the eyes of, and we're being asked to do this.
I was listening to Ben Ferguson, this neocon talk show jock in Memphis, and he was trying to get all of his listeners and all of his callers to agree that it was terrible and beyond the pale to use nerve gas or chemical weapons.
That's one thing.
And he thought he had the upper hand if he could get them to do that.
That's one thing.
Why Assad?
And the other thing is, why Russia?
That's the key inquiries we need to make.
Kui bono, what's going on here?
Well, with Assad, you need to look back to the mid-90s and the clean break memorandum that was prepared in the Clinton White House by Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl, and Michael Adeen, among others, which said we need wholesale regime change in all the Arab nations or Muslim nations in the Middle East near Israel, with the exception of Saudi Arabia and, of course, Israel itself.
Now, they said that even the guys that were supposedly moderates needed to be purged.
I remember Michael Adeen saying, Mabarik, what's so great about Mubarak?
Certainly we can do better than that.
So they get rid of Mubarak.
They get rid of Gaddafi.
They get rid of everybody.
They get rid of Saddam Hussein.
And they're replaced by people that are worse from the neocon perspective, people that are more intransigent enemies of Israel than any of the people that they replaced.
Basically, when you have a Middle Eastern nation, you're going to have two choices for a leader.
It's either going to be a military strongman who's a secularist, or it's going to be a Muslim religious zealot.
And quite frankly, I'll pick door number one every time on this.
That's what Assad is.
He's a military strongman who's basically a secularist.
I would not want to replace him by the head of ISIS or the head of Al Jazeera or something like that or Al-Qaeda, excuse me.
And, you know, on the other hand, you know, they're demonizing Assad just like they did Saddam Hussein.
He is a monster.
He is this bad person that needs to be purged.
Well, quite frankly, it looks pretty damn good compared to who we have who replaced him.
Is that the truth?
And just think about this.
In the first Gulf War, George H.W. Bush could have delivered the knockout blow to Saddam Hussein, but he didn't.
And the reason he didn't was he knew that the guy replacing him was allowed to be a lot worse than Saddam Hussein.
Same thing will happen in Syria.
Then the next question which we'll address after this break is, why Russia?
Why is Russia the big enemy?
Yes, that's coming up next.
You set that up perfectly, my friend.
One more segment on Syria.
We got other affairs to tend to tonight, but this one was one we wanted to dedicate the first hour to right out of the gates this evening.
Stay tuned.
More to come on TPC.

All right, well, I think it goes without saying if he wanted more endless wars in the Middle East for Israel, we could have stuck with Hillary, Jeb, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio.
Any of them would have done.
Trump was the only one that offered an alternative to the status quo.
That's why he was elected.
How did you put it, Keith?
Invade the world, invite the world.
And so now, though, at least in this instance, it's a bad mistake to say that.
So we're doing the invade the world part.
Hopefully he won't do the invite the world.
But under Jewish power and influence, I'm sure the result of all this border talk and wall talk will be, is that when all is said and done, more will be said than done.
He didn't need the money like the other candidates.
He didn't need the fame.
He didn't need the prestige.
He battled the world.
He broke through with the people behind him.
It was a populist.
It was a nationalist campaign.
And again, we can't get too high or too low.
This is a dark day.
Next month may be better.
He may change and refine himself.
We don't know.
But one thing, though, that they just won't get off of, Keith, is the whole somebody in Trump's campaign or administration talked to a Russian.
And this is supposed to be some big scandal.
I have never seen any scandal of somebody on a transition team or an administration talking, or even Sessions.
They said Sessions talked to a Russian.
Hell, he's a senator.
He's a United States senator.
All of this stuff, they talk to a Russian.
Why is Assad so bad?
Why is Putin so bad?
Why Syria?
Why Russia?
Why Assad?
Why Putin?
Take it in any order you want, Keith.
Okay, well, let's wrap up Assad first.
Why is Assad so bad?
Well, Assad and the head of the Iranian government are the last two men standing for the completion of the clean break strategy.
The clean break strategy, the administration's, it doesn't matter whether it's Republican or Democrat.
We were following clean break under Clinton, Bill Clinton.
We followed it under George W. Bush.
We followed it under Barack Obama.
And apparently, we're going to be following it under Donald Trump.
We're going to get rid of Assad by hook or crook.
The government is like a bulldog with a bloody bone.
It doesn't matter how much evidence there is to show that the clean break strategy was a grievous mistake.
They're going to follow it out to the bitter end.
That's one thing.
Now, that's what they're doing.
They're not going to rest until they get rid of Assad, and then they'll turn their baleful glance on Iran.
And that's where the real problems with Russia are liable to start if they do that.
Now, the Iranians are watching this very closely.
And if the Russians throw Assad under the bus, they're going to probably reconsider their alliance with Russia and take on China as their benefactor and patriarch for foreign policy.
And Putin does not want that.
So then the other question is, why Russia?
Well, I was listening to CNN and NSNBC about a week to a week and a half before this latest airstrike.
And they had people speculating about the best way to take out Trump.
And I remember one of the talking heads said the best way is to start foreign wars.
They'll be wildly unpopular.
There'll be bloodshed.
They're liable to go badly.
And, of course, what are we doing?
We're on the verge of doing bad things with both.
Keith giving a call here in the middle of this segment.
Let's see who it is.
Well, here, excuse me, I've got that.
With both Korea and China, North Korea and China on one hand and Russia and Syria on the other.
Now, why Russia?
Why is Russia such a bogeyman?
Well, I'll tell you, it's this simple.
And we're the only people that are qualified to do this that you're going to hear on mainstream radio.
And it's this.
Russia is a white nation.
There's nothing that the left would like better, and I include the neocons as part of the left, than to see the two white superpowers, remaining white superpowers, duking it out, shedding their blood, destroying themselves, spending their resources in a war with one another, and the Chinese sit on the sideline, bide their time, and then when the weakened victor comes out of the other thing, just apply the coup de grace to him,
and then the white hegemony is over in the world.
That's what they want, and that's what they'll get.
And that's why Russia is the big focus of being the bogeyman rather than China or someone else.
It's interesting, Keith, that back in World War II, when Russia was owned by Jewish Bolsheviks, by Marxists, by communists, they were our great ally.
But now they're run by Christians and nationalists.
You're beyond the pale.
Well, again, who is it that is making those decisions?
It's the Jews, Jewish power and influence.
They are pro-Marxism.
They're the cultural Marxist leadership cadre in America and in the West today.
When Russia stopped being a Marxist nation, then they stopped being a good guy in their eyes.
And now they're our implacable enemies.
Russia has now morphed back into the old czarist Russia in their mind.
And they're having pogroms against Jews every weekend, apparently, in their eyes.
The Jews are like it was said of the Bourbon dynasty in France.
Regarding history, they have learned nothing, but they have forgotten nothing.
And they apparently have this, they have this built into their blood and genetics hatred for the old Russia.
Russia was fine when they were being run by Bolshevik Jews, and they were the, you know, in the vanguard of leftist change in the world.
But now that they're not there, they've gone from top of the hip parade to off the chart on the bottom.
And furthermore, but they have, there's been one constant through all of this.
They've remained a white nation.
And now because under cultural Arxism, everything is based on race rather than economic status or religion, they have to be dealt with, and they'd like nothing more than America and Russia to clobber each other in a war while the Chinese emerge as the dominant power in the world.
Keith, I would say this, and I would say this to everyone.
Again, don't be too high, don't be too low.
This is a bad, bad, bad situation.
We expected more from Trump.
I think the only reason it's so startling is because, once again, it's just such a radical departure from his rhetoric and what he promised.
And you can go look at a wide array of tweets from Trump specifically mentioning Syria and specifically mentioning how stupid it is to go into places like Syria that he uses as an example, why we shouldn't go into Syria, why we shouldn't be bombing these countries.
And yet that's exactly what he did.
That's exactly what he comes up.
He's become the new George W. Bush.
That's succumbing to neocon pressure.
That's what's so surprising is that you can go look on Twitter at all of these tweets that Trump has done about Syria in the last few months and as recently as just, I think, 30 or 60 days ago.
And that's what's a little alarming, a little more alarming than yes, he just made another mistake.
He's following down the wrong path.
But again, three months in is not an entire term.
This isn't good, but there's always tomorrow, and we'll just continue to watch and monitor, and we'll go from there.
It's Jewish power and influence, Jews, or Philo Semites or friends of Jews.
That's 90% of the White House staff, of the administration, and of the cabinet now.
That's unfortunate, but that's what is happening.
And he needs to reverse course and start putting some red state American Gentiles into these positions of authority, ones that are not bought, sold, and paid for by the Israeli lobby or by the Jewish lobby.
That's the only way to save his presidency.
That's the only way for the type of change that he campaigned on to be effectively running this nation.
If he's not going to do that, then basically we've been sold a bill of goods.
Well, and again, instead of mucking up health care, instead of getting into yet another conflict in the Middle East for Israel, and instead of saying, well, instead of health care, I wish I had taken on tax reform.
No, yes, health care needed to be eradicated, Obamacare, but not with a watered-down version of it.
And all of this other stuff is not what he campaigned on.
In fact, it's what he campaigned against.
We need to see movement on the wall.
We need to see movement on bringing American jobs back.
All of this stuff, the America First stuff is what we need.
And we'll see.
But there's still time.
There's still a lot of time.
And next week, things may have changed again.
Yes, I think we have seen some movement.
We've seen more people hired by ICE, immigration, and customs.
He's done some good things on the margins.
He's done what he can through executive action.
The spending stuff, a lot of that was hired.
He basically was getting worn out by all the negativity.
I said from the very beginning, he's going to have to create an alternative press or else he's just going to, you know, basically other people's perception of the ultimate reality.
The average boob that just turns on the news or turns on the radio during prime time, during, you know, coming into work and leaving work every day.
He's going to hear nothing but neocons on the radio and liberal NBC, CBD.
He's got to be stronger.
He's got to be stronger, but he may not be stronger.
He lives for the spotlight.
And if that's the case, it's going to be some tough sledding ahead.
On the other hand, he has done good things by executing.
That's right.
No, he has.
And, you know, the tough part of his agenda is going to be getting others that are part of the establishment to agree with him and to go along with the family.
Well, he's not going to do that by putting these people in there.
These people aren't going to do it.
Now, he has done some good things on federal spending.
He has done some good things on hiring federal hirings, capping that.
That's good things, but that's not as good as this is bad, if you see what I'm saying.
I agree.
But with that being said, we'll wait and see what happens next week.
We'll talk more about it then.
We're going to shift gears now for the second and third hours.
I think you're going to like what's coming up.
I know we're looking forward to it.
Maybe you will too.
Stay tuned to find out.
Power of the political cesspool is in the can, but don't go away.
