U.S. 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.
Welcome, everybody, to tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program this Saturday evening, April 15th, 2017.
It is Easter weekend.
This weekend marks the point in time each year where most of the Christian world commemorates what was the pivotal point in the history of this planet, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Imagine what it must have felt like for his mother, disciples, and the small band of family and friends to watch as he agonizingly gasped for air on the cross.
What was going through their minds as they witnessed that most unspeakable act of injustice that the world had ever seen?
Of course, there was only one disciple watching, remember?
It was John.
All the rest of them bugged out.
How often do we find ourselves lamenting the slow and grinding death of our nation, our culture, and our very flesh and blood kinsmen in this degenerate age?
At our gatherings, we recount horror upon horror as we feel our way of life slipping from our grasp.
But at the very darkest of hours, we must remember the words spoken so long ago at the empty tomb.
He's not here.
He has risen.
To the degree that those words resonate in our hearts, they strike fear in the hearts of our enemies.
The more we take them to heart, the more those oppose us will lose heart.
They know instinctively what we too easily forget.
It only takes one.
Yes, we should try to take over the Republican Party, but we don't have to outnumber them.
It only takes one.
It can happen because it did happen.
And he promised that we would do even greater things than he because he would be working through us.
Ponder that message and enjoy a blessed Easter with your family tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
And welcome to the show.
This is a very special night for the Political Cesspool.
In fact, where Easter and Confederate History Month converge this evening on TPC.
So what we're going to be doing tonight is celebrating our spiritual and cultural heritage and discussing Trump's apparent betrayal, yes, during this very special live broadcast.
I would like to say one more thing, though, before we transition into Trump.
And then in the second hour, we're going to cover Confederate history.
And then in the third hour, a special Easter message that I really want you to stay tuned and hear.
But I know, again, and we're some of the modern-day church, the apostate church's biggest critics.
And a lot of people would say, well, you can't reconcile your cultural heritage, your positions on these issues that the political cesspool brings to life with the Christian faith.
And of course, to that, I would object.
And I take the following statement from the Christian Websting Faith and Heritage, and I echo it 100%.
And this is what they write.
We affirm that all men of every race, ethnicity, and tribe are created in the image of God.
However, this common humanity does not mean that all groups are equal in every respect, just as two brothers can share a common family, but be blessed by providence with vastly differing talents and abilities.
We affirm that many of these differences have genetic components, and we thank God for the diversity of mankind.
We affirm that all men are fallen and in need of the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
We further affirm that this grace is the sole source of salvation.
We affirm the multinational makeup of Christ's church.
We further affirm that the nations and races are themselves individual expressions of providence, separated and cultivated by God to check the spread of evil and add to his glory, to be preserved kind after kind in this world and eternally in the world to come.
We affirm that all attempts to amalgamate humans into one mixed mass are in open rebellion against God's law and his sovereignly created boundaries.
We affirm that every race and ethnicity not only has the right, but also the duty to defend its homelands, borders, culture, and existence from those seeking to destroy them.
We affirm that each generation has the duty to preserve its own particular culture, blood, and soil, as well as the true faith of Christianity as an inheritance to those generations following it.
We affirm that the deep and healthy traditional Western Christian culture is far superior to the shallow, decadent, perverted, and sick culture that now saturates the Western world.
We affirm the traditional over the modern, the eternal over the materialistic, and the local over the global.
We affirm traditional gender roles, the complementarian model of marriage, and the family as the primary building block of society.
We reject feminism and its legacy of divorce, illegitimacy, and poverty.
We stand against homosexuality and other forms of sexual deviancy and the egalitarian ideology that enables them.
We are Christians who have not bowed the knee to the modern babel, who refuse to apologize for our European heritage and commit collective cultural and ethnic suicide to appease the never-ending covetous demands of the West's enemies and our corrupt treasonous leaders.
Well, that's the mission statement at Faith and Heritage.
And if you want to work to further reconcile your cultural and spiritual heritage, faithandheritage.com is a good place to do that.
A quick update before we get down to work tonight.
You know, we've been very busy in recent weeks.
History Channel has shown interest.
Warner Brothers production has shown interest.
And just this week, just this week, we were contacted by an Emmy award-winning producer who wishes to feature TPC in a CBS News special report.
This would be a prime time feature.
And that is on the table.
And I bring these things up because, as you know, we have no secrets from our audience.
But the point is that the work of this show remains on the cutting edge, the absolute cutting edge.
We're very proud of our expanding portfolio.
Every month, major news entities are coming to us for news.
And we're very proud of this, of course, because you, dear listener, make it possible.
I want to thank you all for those of you in March who contributed to our first quarter fundraising drive.
Those who contribute to our work financially and prayerfully are shareholders in all that we do, and I routinely marvel at all that we have accomplished together.
Those of you who contributed at a level in March to qualify for our incentive gift package should by now have received in the mail, in your snail mailbox, the special items from us that we hope you will take as our heartfelt gift to you.
We hope that you'll accept these gifts along with our most sincere appreciation for your support of our groundbreaking work.
Everybody in the continental United States, if you donated $100 or more, should have received a package from us this week.
If you're an international donor, maybe a few more days, but they're all in the mail.
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for your love this Easter weekend and always Confederate History Month and Easter tonight on TPC plus a little bit about Donald Trump.
That was a lot of announcements to work through here in the first segment.
We only have seconds remaining.
Quick hello from you to the audience.
What do you think about all this news TPC is generating?
I can't get much better than that, or at least much bigger.
Well, let me tell you, like you said, if you're not, you don't catch flak if you're not over the target.
I'm not sure that all this attention is going to do us any good.
In fact, it's probably intended to do us ill, but like you said, we have been chosen out of the entire constellation of alt-right organizations for a special CBS program.
You know, for a, is this going to be an hour-long 30 minutes?
Do you know?
Yes, I do know, and I can't give too many details, but it's going to be about as big as you can imagine it to be.
And it would air in their primetime slot later this summer if we agree to do it.
And let me ask you this, ladies and gentlemen, as we hear the music of our first break kicking in.
Should we do it?
Should we work with CBS?
Now, you know my position on the media, but that is a personal default position, which is to not do hardly any interviews.
But we will listen to the advice from our shareholders.
Should we go on CBS and let them do a full-link feature on us?
Fly down to Memphis and the like.
Email me.
Let me know.
We'll be back.

All right, everybody.
Like I said, busy, busy show tonight.
Got to dedicate an hour to Confederate history, which we will do in the second hour.
It's Easter weekend.
We really should call it Resurrection Day.
My webmaster corrected me on that.
We shouldn't use that pagan cult term Easter, Resurrection Day hour in the third hour.
I'm looking forward to both of those hours.
But once you dedicate an hour to this and an hour to that out of a three-hour show, it doesn't leave you a lot of time for current events.
And so we need to talk about what's going on with Trump.
We'll continue the conversation for last week.
So story out of Politico, Trump's base turns against him.
This is what Hunter Wallace wrote.
I signed up for America First.
It might not have been a white ethnostate or an independent South, but I thought it would at least be a step in the right direction.
I assumed that America First meant a sharp break with the status quo.
It meant the triumph of nationalism over globalism.
We would stop fighting all of these stupid foreign wars in places we don't care about.
We would change our trade policy and start rebuilding our industrial base.
We would secure our own borders and deport illegal aliens.
That was all music to my ears.
But how much of that campaign rhetoric was ever real?
What happened to Drain the Swamp?
Was it all just marketing to get elected?
This is the clip from Politico, Keith, and then over to you.
Donald Trump's true believers are using faith, the website writes.
As Trump struggles to keep his campaign promises and flirts with political moderation, his most steadfast supporters, from veteran advisors to anti-immigration activists to the volunteers who dropped their jobs to help elect him, are increasingly dismayed by the direction of his presidency.
Their complaints range from Trump's embrace of interventionist foreign policy to his less hawkish tone on China to, most recently, his marginalization of his nationalist chief strategist, Steve Bannon.
But the crux of their disillusionment, interviews with nearly two dozen Trump loyalists reveal is a belief that Trump, the candidate, bears little resemblance to Trump the president.
He's failing, in their view, to deliver on his promise of a transformative America First agenda driven by hard-edged populism.
The 2016 election was about replacing the failed and corrupt political establishment.
If it wasn't about overthrowing that establishment, what was the point?
Keith, we talked about this during our pre-game powwow.
Was it real?
Is he succumbing to pressure?
Is he being blackmailed?
Is this 4D chests?
Is there a long game here that we can't see yet and he's going to come through for us?
Where are we at right now?
Well, I don't think it's any of the above, any of those things that you listed.
I think the best explanation I can come up with is like the perfect storm.
It's a confluence of several negative factors that would have been hard to forecast.
But let me give it a shot.
Here's what I think happened.
Trump, remember, is a celebrity.
He is used to adulation.
He's used to being patted on the back and told what a success he is.
He liked the success of the Celebrity Apprentice TV show.
He's liked the success of being a well-paid real estate developer in one of the toughest markets in the world, New York City primarily, but then all over the world.
Now, He undoubtedly has a big ego.
And he's been subjected to nonstop, relentless negativity from the legacy media, as they call them, you know, the mainstream media, from the entertainment industry, politically from the Democratic Party.
He's got naysayers within the Republican Party.
And of course, the naysayers within the Republican Party have a point on various things that they've crossed swords with him about, like, for example, replacing Obamacare with something that is almost as pernicious, at least in our opinion.
But all of that began to wear on him.
Then add to the toxic mix that you have a Trojan horse within his own household, Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, who apparently has leapfrogged his own two sons into a position of power and influence within the Trump administration.
He has an office in the west wing of the White House.
So does his wife, Ivanka, who is Trump's oldest child.
And they seem to be supplanting longtime loyalists like Steve Bannon.
Bannon was made to walk the plank at the National Security Council one day before the bombing of Syria based on the supposed gas attack or poison gas attack that happened supposedly there.
Again, it's hard to tell where the truth lies in that particular tale.
But nonetheless, we're seeing more Jews, and Jared Kushner, first of all, is Jewish.
You're seeing a whole group of Jews that never, not only never supported him until he was elected, like this Gary Cohn fellow, who's like his chief financial man in the administration.
These people were, for the most part, never Trumpers at one point or another during his career as a candidate, either through the nomination process and some even beyond that.
But nonetheless, these people have catapulted to insider positions.
As somebody said, there are more Jews in the Trump administration than there are in the Knesset.
And these people are instinctive liberals.
Neoconservatives seem to have taken over the foreign policy of the Trump administration.
And I think that he basically is drawing a sigh of relief now that finally he's getting some positive publicity from the New York Times, from the Alphabet Soup TV station channels and networks.
And it's relief that he wants, but he's basically throwing his core supporters under the bus.
Well, and this gets back to what we said.
Candidate Trump was so cool.
And we always said, hey, it could be a siren song.
This could be just another bait and switch.
But what's the alternative?
Hillary?
Jeb?
So we went all in with Trump.
I will never regret anything we did or any role we may have played in the election of Donald Trump in 2016.
And we will still focus on any good that he does going forward.
Absolutely.
And we hope that this is a blip in the radar in the grand scheme of things in the grand scheme of four years, maybe eight, maybe four if he doesn't start doing a little better than this.
But you could have gotten dropping the mother of all bombs.
Lindsey Graham would have done that as president.
Jeb would have done that.
And dropping a quarter of a billion dollar bomb to kill 94 people in caves.
Bedouins.
Maybe it's a wag the dog type of thing.
Anybody seen the whole movie, Wag the Dog with Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman?
Unconstitutional.
And he talked about all of this.
He talked about this for years, even well before, years before, running for president, announcing his candidacy in 2015.
He talked about the stupid leadership and these stupid wars and unconstitutional.
And Congress can declare war on George W. Bush, basically.
And again, you need to remember George W. Bush was not the real George W. Bush.
Before his election, George W. Bush, in debates with Al Gore and in statements made to the press, said that he was for a humbler foreign policy and less intervention.
And then he was changed by the neoconservatives.
And it looks like the same culprits, the neoconservatives, have insinuated their way into the United States.
The news interviews back in there.
They talk dove and walk hawk.
But the, well, let's not make any mistake about it.
The candidate Bush was nowhere near as ballsy and hardcore as candidate Trump.
But you're right.
George Bush got increasingly worse after he got elected.
But the sad thing is about this strike in Syria, unconstitutional, not declared by Congress.
All of the things Trump pointed out for years before and during his campaign, it seems like non-interventionism is a sincere Trump conviction.
So he promoted this issue, I feel, sincerely throughout his candidacy for no political benefit.
He had the entire establishment, both parties, all of the media against him.
It would be tragic if he were manipulated into abandoning it now that he has the power to do something about it.
Well, it has even bigger consequences, folks, and we're going to unpack and explore those after these words from our sponsors.

China has put its military on nationwide alert while ordering 25,000 more troops to prepare to be sent to the North Korean border as tensions build.
The Oriel Daily News reports that Beijing has ordered troops from all five of its military regions to be on high alert due to the escalating crisis in the region.
The Chinese government may deploy about 150,000 troops along the North Korean border on Sunday.
As the United States and Russia counter each other's accusations and warnings over Syria, Syrian President Bershar al-Assad on Wednesday insisted that his government was not involved in any way with the deadly chemical weapons incident in northern Syria last week.
He said the accusations by the U.S. were completely fabricated.
He told the French AFP that the United States is hand in glove with the terrorists and that they fabricated the whole story of Syrian blame in order to have a pretext for the attack.
This version is increasingly gaining support from former intelligence experts as time goes on and the U.S. fails to provide any evidence of Syrian or Russian complicity, though the charges continue to be aired as fact.

The Occidental Quarterly fills a unique niche in bringing together scholarly articles on a wide range of topics that are mired in political correctness elsewhere.
It is edited by Professor Kevin McDonald, who's no stranger to listeners of the political cesspool.
There are quite a few reasons for the precarious state of our civilization and our people, but one of the main ones is that we have lost the intellectual and moral high ground to a cultural elite that is hostile to our people and our culture.
Those of us who are politically aware must understand that the elites dominating culture and the political process in the West are intellectually and morally bankrupt.

Going back to 2016, candidate Trump was unlike anything we had never seen before.
A self-made millionaire, a celebrity with universal name recognition, somebody with the courage, seemingly the courage, to stand up against everyone from the Pope to the media to his own party who tried to throw him in.
Throwing him his own money.
He funded most of it with his own money.
His own party tried to throw him under the bus as late as October when he said something about coming on to women, whatever that was, Billy Bush.
But after he was elected, there was the transition team.
A lot of red flags came up with the people he was appointing during that transition period from the time he was elected to the time he took his oath of office, which, of course, I was there on the front row.
We were there for that.
We gave him the benefit of the doubt, though.
And when we gave him his first month grades, he did well.
A's and B's from our team.
Here's another story, Keith, and then back to you.
Trump abandons numerous campaign pledges after getting out to a promising start in which the U.S. President Donald Trump seemed serious about fulfilling campaign pledges.
Every day now seems to bring another broken campaign pledge from the White House.
These broken promises are not limited to just the U-turn on Syria or Trump's refusal to label China a currency manipulator.
Washington Post reports this.
President Trump is abandoning a number of his key campaign promises on economic policy, adopting instead many of the centrist positions he railed against while campaigning as a populist.
The article speaks of Trump's betrayal on Syria and his abandonment of isolationism and an America-first foreign policy.
Back to the Washington Post.
Trump has also sharpened his criticism of Russia, a major break from the praise he lavished on Russian President Vladimir Putin during the campaign.
Also on Wednesday, Trump praised the work of NATO, a pact between the United States and some of its closest allies that Trump once called obsolete.
It was once obsolete.
It is no longer obsolete, he said Wednesday after meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stotlenberg.
Stunning U-Turn, CNN reports on NATO, China, Russia, and Syria.
And Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen.
CNN notes that Trump has not yet abandoned his campaign pledge on immigration, but one has to wonder, given the mounting heap of broken pledges, what is next?
Brett Griffin writes.
Okay, Keith, so to you, yes, we need to be fair.
And we had a great discussion in the last break with Sam.
Yes, he has done some good things on the right-to-life issue.
He has done some good things.
I think immigration has probably been at least slowed with him being in there.
But a lot of that stuff was done in his early days.
A lot has changed since February, and it's changing quickly.
We hope that it will change back.
We hope this is ultimately just a bad time for Trump.
But if current trends persist, this is going to be just another neoconservative do-nothing administration.
Well, I'm afraid that doing nothing might be preferable to what is liable to happen.
His domestic agenda seems to be stalled.
The only bright spot in that, as far as I can tell, is the work of Jeff Sessions as the Attorney General.
He seems to be without a lot of fanfare, really enforcing our immigration laws for the first time in decades, and it is bearing fruit.
Immigration is down all over.
It's come to basically historic lows over the past 30 years under Sessions' leadership.
Now, on foreign policy, there's been a stunning reversal.
He was an isolationist in the campaign.
Now, Charles Krauthammer, noted neoconservative, says that we've returned to our standard globalist foreign policy.
This is alarming.
And furthermore, we had a historic opportunity to build alliances with Russia.
There are three major superpowers in the world, the United States, Russia, and China.
Trump has the possibility of, he had the possibility of having a real detente with Russia where they would become our ally.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do that, and it seems like he's blown that.
He's taking issue with them on NATO.
He's taking issue with them on Assad and Syria.
And he's basically blustering.
He's wasting all the goodwill that had been developed in the campaign and has basically turned Russia into our adversary.
Meanwhile, he's on the verge of causing problems with North Korea by sending our aircraft carriers and a fleet up there.
Meanwhile, the Russians have flown TU-95 bombers, bombers that are capable of delivering nuclear weapons within striking distance in the Sea of Japan between China and Japan.
They're there for some reason, and the Chinese apparently are tolerating it.
Here's what is happening.
Think about triangulation.
We've had for the longest time Russia and China against us.
That's not a good position to be in.
It would have been great if it could be us and Russia against China.
But it looks like he's trying to forge an alliance of China and the United States against Russia, which is silly.
And furthermore, what can become of this?
Here's what can become of it.
Russia doesn't meaningfully compete with us economically.
China does.
Let's say that Trump is successful.
He had his granddaughter Arabella singing in Mandarin to the Chinese prime minister and his wife at Mar-a-Lago, his home, which is culturally significant.
Chinese think that's much more important and much more intimate and a much higher gesture than having him come to the White House.
So he was sharp on that.
But the Chinese are not going to be bamboozled by gestures like that.
Let's say that he says, I want you to do something to rein in North Korea.
And let's say China does, but China will say, what do we get in return?
Well, what they're going to get in return is nothing on economics.
They're basically going to be allowed to continue to pump cheaply manufactured goods into the United States.
They're the chief source of where our manufacturing jobs have gone over the past 20, 30 years.
They've gone to China primarily, and they've gone to other parts of the Pacific Rim and into South America and Mexico as well.
But China, first and foremost, that's where all those cheap goods in Walmart came from, China.
Plus, they're a currency manipulator.
There's no other nation in the world that manipulates its currency to put themselves in a position where they take none of our goods and we buy almost all of theirs.
And if he caves in and says, I'm not going to follow through with calling you a currency manipulator, he's already done that.
I'm not going to raise tariffs on your manufactured goods.
Guess what?
His domestic agenda goes in the toilet.
He can't produce those manufacturing sector jobs that he has promised to the Rust Belt and to all of America in his campaign.
And it will be a classic case of when all is said and done, more will be said than done.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
And he will lose the next presidential election if he can't deliver those jobs.
And he's setting himself to do that, up to do that.
He should instead have reached a taunt with the Russians, and then he could have talked tough with the Chinese, and the Chinese would have been the odd man out rather than the United States staying the odd man out.
And we could have gotten some real progress that translates into more money in the pockets of regular American citizens.
One more thing before I leave this.
What's wrong with Jews?
Jews are the most liberal part of the white population.
It's been demonstrated time and again.
They're at the vanguard of every leftist movement.
Well, they're only 2% of the American population, but they're over one-third of the 400 richest Americans.
They're over one-third of the student population of top schools like Harvard and Yale.
Well, guess what?
That 2% has probably 70% of the jobs in high-ranking positions in the Trump administration right now.
Meanwhile, the people that are 60% at the very least, white Gentiles, they probably have 2%.
You know, Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions are the only ones I can think of that really stand up for middle America and the policies that Trump said he was going to do when he was running for president.
And we're the people that are frozen out of the action.
Trump is supposed to be a loyal guy.
Well, he needs to remember you leave the prom with the date you brought to the prom.
You don't change dates in the middle of the prom.
Well, that's what he's doing.
Basically, he was the subject of intense hatred and belittling from Jewish neocons and Jewish liberals alike.
And he stood up to it the whole campaign, and we can respect that because we've had to do it too.
And so we respect that.
But the question, I guess, why?
Why has he made this seeming, done a seemingly about face?
I don't get to be convinced.
It doesn't matter.
Being convinced that these people are indispensable, like Gary Cohn from Goldman Sachs and whatnot.
They're not.
They're good Gentiles that could be taking this position, and they're ones that are not neoconservatives that he could be listening to.
He needs to try harder.
He needs to be loyal to the people that got him elected.
Well, the bottom line is: our guess as to why he has done this about face is as good as anyone else's, but it doesn't matter ultimately.
The buck stops with him.
He has the opportunity to be great, and it could be slipping away.
We'll be back.

That miracle is again the pure application of the United States Constitution.
I'm Scott Bradley.
In my To Preserve the Nation book and lecture series, I bring forth truths that will help raise up a new generation of statesmen like those noble Americans who founded this land.
Vigorous application of these principles will invigorate and restore the nation, and we may become again the freest, most prosperous, most respected, and happiest nation on earth.

Okay, girls, about finished with your lesson on money?
Daddy, what is a buy-sell spread for gold coins?
Well, when you sell a gold coin to a coin shop that's worth, say, $1,200, you don't actually get $1,200.
But don't worry, we're members of UPMA now, so we don't have to worry about that.
Daddy, why is somebody seal that gold?
We don't have any gold at the house.
It's stored safely in the UPMA vault, securely and insured.
But the SP 500 outperformed gold.
Daddy, gold is a bad investment.
Some people do think of it that way, but actually, gold is money.
And as members of the United Precious Metals Association, we can use our gold at any store, just like a credit card.
Or I can ask them to drop it right into Mommy and Daddy's bank account because we're a UPMA member family.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Okay, folks, again, with it being such a busy show tonight, and thanks for being with us on this holiday weekend.
I was driving around yesterday.
I first want to say I really appreciate the banks and the post office being open yesterday on Good Friday because it's not like this is an important holiday like Martin Luther King Day or anything like that.
But for those of you who do care about the risen Savior, we appreciate you being on with us tonight on this most holy of holidays.
This and Christmas.
What's bigger than that?
Our holidays are our holy days.
And it is a busy show tonight with Eastern Confederate History Month, and we got to give both their slice of the pie tonight.
And we're talking about our cultural and spiritual heritage and all of that.
We celebrate who we are and we celebrate the way God made us.
And we celebrate the gift of his son.
We were having a great conversation during the break.
Sam Bushman is with us for just this last segment.
With it being such a busy show, we only have one hour tonight to devote to Trump and current events.
But Sam did a show on his program, Liberty Roundtable, LibertyRoundtable.com, a couple of days ago, and he broke down the 141 instances in which Trump has reversed himself.
141.
Well, Sam did a whole show on that.
We have one segment with Sam.
So Sam's going to basically break that down.
It'll be a little bit of a teaser for next week.
We'll pick up on this next week on the show.
Sam's going to break it down.
And then, Sam, I want you to pause and then inform the audience about what we were talking about during the break.
Very interesting back and forth.
You're going to take one side.
Keith's going to take the other.
If we can work all of that in in about seven minutes, we'll be doing fine.
Take it away, Sam.
Professionals, we'll get it done, my friend.
So the bottom line is, I submit to you that Donald Trump has flip-flopped on just about everything he's said or done his whole entire life.
This is nothing new.
That's what the Donald does, okay?
He plays the people like a violin.
He's very good at it.
And I submit to you that this whole scenario is where Donald, my headline on my show was Donald Trump's administration is known for doublespeak.
Let me give you an example.
He said that on the first day he was going to deport illegal aliens.
Okay, he was going to deport the criminal, illegal, alien element within the first hour of being elected.
Have you seen him do it?
No.
He then said, well, I'm going to get rid of the bad guys.
Then he said, well, we're going to get rid of everybody.
And then he said, well, no, wait a minute, the dreamers or whatever you want to say, these anchor baby adults now can stay.
And he went on and he waffled and he waffled it.
And now you haven't even seen the wall get started.
In fact, all there is is lawsuits over the wall.
There's nothing.
So immigration is one of the biggest flip-flops that we haven't seen him really do a whole lot about.
In fact, he's placed more Muslims in the United States than even Barack did within a certain amount of time frame.
Okay, so these illegals, these refugees come in, Islam or whatever, they come in.
Okay, Donald's placed more of them already than Barack did.
So, you know, you've got to start to ask yourself about some of these debates and statements.
He said he was going to stop the baby anchor thing.
That isn't happening.
Many, many babies have been born since Donald Trump's taken office and they're still there.
If we leave immigration, he talked about a humble foreign policy.
He talked dove, but he walks hawk.
He changed big time.
He's already committed more war than Barack ever did.
Now, I'm not defending Barack or Bush or any of the other warmongering folks.
I'm just telling you, he's escalated this and about started a war with everybody.
And if he's not careful, he will indeed end up doing that.
Same thing with the Federal Reserve and money and taxes.
He said he was going to shut down the Federal Reserve or audit it and look into it and change the, he hasn't done anything.
He said he was going to lower taxes.
That was going to be a big key.
He hasn't lowered any taxes.
In fact, he hasn't even touched it.
He said he was going to get rid of Obamacare within the first day that he was, he hasn't even done anything like that.
Obamacare is a failure.
It's still in place and Donald's ready to move on to something else.
He made promise after promise after promise.
Every time it's nothing but a flip-flop, James.
That's the summary of what we really talked about.
We went to the tail, but that's it.
And that's just a snippet of what Sam spent an entire two-hour broadcast covering.
I think you can see why Sam.
Let's take the birth certificate really quickly.
Bring that up very quickly.
He said that he was going to, you know, we need to get to the bottom of Brock's birth certificate.
We need to do it.
He said that for literally a couple of years.
The closer he got to the White House, the more he wouldn't touch it.
He finally said, okay, Brock's, Brock's probably an American citizen.
He finally capitulated to the mainstream.
Okay, now if there's a single man who could get to the bottom of the birth certificate issue once and for all, it would be one Donald Trump.
He won't touch it.
Even Joe Arpaio literally delivered proof that the birth certificate was fraudulent.
Donald still won't touch it.
So this is what I mean.
He talks out of his mouth on one side, but he walks completely different.
I submit to you from the very beginning, Donald Trump's goal is the Hegelian dialectic.
He played the American people like a fiddle, and now he's laughing as he hangs out with his friends.
He's been friends with Jewish power and influence.
He's been friends with the inside liberal crowd his whole life, and he's not about to disappoint them.
Okay, this is what we were talking about during the commercial break.
You told me, and to be fair to Sam, this is not an I told you so moment.
Sam, even at some points, to my chagrin back late last fall, was always lukewarm on Trump, even when we were going all in.
Even as Trump was, not Trump personally, but as his campaign surrogates were denouncing us on CNN and in the newspapers, Donald Trump Jr. and Hope Hicks and some of these others were denouncing me by name.
I was still saying, well, denounce me all you want.
Just build the wall.
I'm with you.
The cause is greater than my feelings.
You know, if that's what you feel like you have to do, it's pathetic.
Yes, it is, but you're not going to stop me from supporting these ideas.
The cause is bigger than what you say about me.
And so even when I was going through that and 100% for Trump, Sam was saying, James, this is, listen, he's one of them.
And I asked Sam during the break just now, so Sam had maintained that all last year.
This isn't Sam.
And I still maintain that, even though I'm willing to give Donald Trump credit where credit's due.
Okay, let me give you another example.
He said, lock her up.
He was the one that led the chance, right?
He's the one that led the locker up chance.
Now he says, I don't want to hurt my great friend Hillary.
Why would I do that?
And I want to get back to Keith, but this is what we were getting at.
All of this is true.
You said this all last year.
You're not taking advantage of a situation to say, I told you so, or be a Johnny Completely discussion.
And I'm also giving Donald credit when he deserves it.
Now, and you have, and you will continue if he hopefully does anything else to deserve credit for.
But you said during the break that this was all planned.
I said, Sam, do you really believe the entire media was putting all of that hatred out towards Trump, but they were literally working in concert the whole time?
And you said, yes, absolutely.
Now, break it down at 60 seconds.
Why do you believe that?
60 seconds.
The reason I believe that's the case is this.
When they want to give you attention, they do.
When they don't want to give you attention, they don't.
And they gave Donald a lot of negative coverage, but they still gave him so much, I mean, billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of coverage.
And I'm telling you from experience that if they don't want you to have coverage, you won't get it.
And I don't care if you're Donald or anybody else.
And so the bottom line is they gave him coverage.
It was negative, but it served their purpose as well.
They could distance themselves from him then.
They could also then befriend the causes they want all along when he comes around.
And I submit to you, they knew full well.
Now, that doesn't mean that every media at every outlet and mouthpiece knew.
Most of the people didn't know, but the top key agenda-setting people are all on Trump's playbook and page.
And they set forth the talking points.
And the rest of the media just simply wants to keep their jobs and they don't question enough.
And so they just simply went along because, hey, we're attacking Trump for not going along with the liberal policies.
All they had to do is get Trump to play the conservative guy, let the media do what it always does, make sure that enough coverage from the talking points happens, and the rest happens with very few controlled people involved.
That's what Sam believes.
He made it.
I maintain it.
You take a different, you believe it might not have been exactly that, Keith.
Right.
I believe that during the first month or so or month and a half when he was doing his governing by executive orders, we made some real progress in several areas.
We were getting jobs in.
He was jawboning companies into keeping jobs here for people.
But of course, the big ticket item was going to be, would he have the intestinal fortitude to go through and insist upon tariffs, for example, as part of his tax package, and really give some relief to the working class of the United States of America that have lost good paying manufacturing sector jobs to the Chinese, to the rest of the world,
while our globalist masters are smiling and engineering the whole thing and making money off of the whole process.
Well, that's where the Jewish power and influence comes in.
I think that the unfortunate fact that he has a Jewish son-in-law who seems to have leapfrogged over his two natural sons without any experience, I might add.
Yeah, right.
Well, he has gotten in there and he's now taking a leading role.
He is responsible for making Steve Bannon walt the plank one day, one day before the bombing of the Syrian airfield.
And that has basically scuttled any chance we have to reach a true alliance with Russia.
Russia, like America, is a white nation.
We had much better prospects for long-term sharing and mutuality and having an alliance with them than we have with the Chinese.
Furthermore, the Russians, the only thing they compete with us on is oil production.
Manufacturing, they're not in there, not at all.
But, you know, the Chinese are the main reason we have lost all these manufacturing jobs.
And in return for them helping us out with North Korea, they'll probably gladly kick North Korea to the curb in return for us taking a total hands-off position regarding their manufacturing policies, their currency policies.
And that's going to basically scuttle the economic, domestic policy ramifications of the Trump presidency.
He'll not be able to deliver on any of those things if he doesn't take the gloves off of the Chinese.
And it's very unfortunate.
By the way, he promised he promised he would deal and call them a currency manipulator.
He's now waffled and he says they're not currency manipulators, James.
Well, absolutely.
Hey, folks, if you enjoyed this segment with Sam, go to LibertyRoundtable.com.
He did a whole show that was just as good as this segment.
Two hours of it.
We'll be back as we ship to Confederate History Month right after this.
