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.
Well, my friends, it's great to be back with you tonight this Saturday evening, July the 8th.
I hope that each and every one of you had a very festive and celebratory 4th of July with your friends, family, and loved ones.
It is true.
I certainly don't recant any of the things that I've said about the flag and what this country has become, but there's no doubt that Independence Day is something that our ancestors paid for.
So it's important to mark it, to make it special, to share that moment, perhaps use it as a teachable moment about how one can lose a nation, lose a country, but to enjoy it certainly and remember the country that was.
And of course, any time to spend time with your family should be an opportunity taken advantage was.
And certainly I had a very good Independence Day.
Down here in the South, shooting fireworks is a fun pastime, a fun tradition, if you can overlook all of those federal flags down here in this occupied territory.
But I got to tell you, being with my parents, my brother, a couple of cousins, my children, of course, my wife, her sister, nephews, nieces, it was a great family get together.
And that, at the end of the day, is what it's all about, being together, a togetherness, and to strengthen the ties that bind.
And we had a swimming party.
We were all swimming.
We had some good food.
It rained a little bit that night, so we didn't get to shoot a lot of fireworks, but we're postponing that until after the show tonight, to be honest with you.
And we're going to be doing a redo of the fireworks that should have been shot on the 4th.
We're going to do that tonight at the Edwards House.
But look, there's no doubt about it.
The United States celebrated the day as not the United States of our founding fathers.
That nation or that country, not necessarily the nation, though died at Manassas.
And it is interesting to watch the leftists trip over themselves.
In the leftist narrative, America was founded on universal egalitarianism as well as simultaneously being based on white supremacy.
So try to wrap your mind around that.
But the truth of the matter is that if you go back, we put up some pretty good resources on our website, thepoliticalaccessible.org, on Tuesday, which was the 4th.
An excellent article that we covered last week in the third hour about how the 4th of July is such a bittersweet celebration these days.
It also marks really the end of the America as it once was with the Confederate retreat from Gettysburg in July.
And also, we have there for you, Jared Taylor.
We played the clip last week, what Thomas Jefferson truly meant by all men are created equal.
Also, a very detailed and well-researched and well-referenced piece by Jared.
So we have a video by Jared and a research article by Jared entitled What the Founding Fathers Really Thought About Race.
And all of that is posted for you back on Tuesday at the website.
So good resources for people wanting to go back and understand what America was and then certainly what has devolved into.
Pat Buchanan wrote an article about this very topic this week.
Is America still a nation?
Buchanan writes this, in the first line of the Declaration of Independence of July 4th, 1776, Thomas Jefferson speaks of one people.
The Constitution agreed upon by the founding fathers in Philadelphia in 1789 begins, we the people, and who were these people.
In Federalist number two, John Jay writes of them as, quote, one united people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs.
Think about that, ladies and gentlemen.
What did the founding fathers envision this country to be?
What did they think about culture and ancestry and race?
Well, why don't we read what they said for themselves rather than making up some fairy tale that America was always supposed to be some egalitarian utopia?
If such are the elements of nationhood and peoplehood, can we still speak of Americans as one nation and one people?
We no longer have the same ancestors.
They are of every color and come from every country.
We don't speak one language, but rather English, Spanish, and a host of others.
We long ago ceased to profess the same religion.
We're now Christians, Jews, Mormons, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists.
Cross the board.
Federalist number two, Buchanan continues, celebrated our unity.
Today's elites proclaim that our diversity is our strength.
But is this true or a tenet of trendy ideology?
After the attempted massacre of Republican congressmen at the ball field in Alexandria, Fareed Zakaria wrote, quote, the political polarization that is ripping this country apart is about identity, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and social class.
He might have added religion, morality, culture, and history.
But he seems to be tracing the disintegration of our society to that very diversity that its elites proclaim to be our greatest attribute.
If the core issues are about identity, culture, and religion, then compromise seems immoral.
American politics is becoming more like Middle Eastern politics, where there is no middle ground between being a Sunni or a Shiite, he writes.
Among the issues on which Americans are at war with one another, abortion, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, white cops, black crime, Confederate monuments, so-called LGBTQ rights, affirmative action, etc.
There are certainly schisms.
So Buchanan wraps up this very good piece.
Are we passing on the house we inherited or observing its demolition?
Well, I think that's a rhetorical question because certainly a country is a geographical plot of land or a political entity, as we often say on this program.
But a nation is a race of people that share, as we heard earlier, the same languages, the same culture, the same background, the same heroes, the same holidays, the same faith.
And certainly here in the West, that was for a long time the Christian faith.
And no, so this is not a nation anymore.
This is not a nation.
This is a multicultural polyglot that is sure to balkanize, hopefully peaceably, but more likely violently.
And that's something that none of us want, but it's a reality that we must come to grips with.
Because as we also so often say, the history of race relations can be summed up in one word, and that's conflict.
And certainly the more diverse we get, the more at odds we are with one another.
And that's just the way it's always going to be.
God bless all of God's creations, all created in his image, but you cannot have people with competing interests and wildly different views on the way things should be and the way things were in the same living space to each their own, but you just will not be able.
And what happened with the present state of this country certainly proves me right.
You just can't occupy the same living space.
We all need to have our own nations where our people can be dominant.
And I want that for my people.
I want that for my people.
I want that for all people, but I certainly want it for my family.
What is love of not loving your own family more than the others, a little more than the others?
And certainly I do.
Well, folks, we're just getting started tonight.
When we come back, we switched up the lineup a little bit.
Keith Alexander is going to be on with us in the second hour tonight.
Sean Bergen's going to be with us to talk about Trump versus CNN and how that's gone nuclear again.
We'll hear from Sean next.
tuned.
Scott Bradley here.
Most Americans are painfully aware that the nation is on the wrong track and in dire straits.
Unfortunately, most political pundits only nibble around the edges when they claim to address the issues.
Even worse, many of the so-called solutions are simply rewarmed servings of what got us into the mess we currently face.
And the politicians think we're so gullible and naive that we'll buy their lies that they have reformed and now understand where they led us astray.
Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that they simply wish to continue to hold power.
The solution to America's challenges is found in returning to the timeless principles found in the United States Constitution.
My book and lecture series will reawaken in Americans an understanding and love of the principles which made this nation the freest, most prosperous, happiest, and most respected nation on earth.
Visit topreservethenation.com and order my book and lectures to begin the restoration of this great nation.
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 seals at gold?
We don't have any gold at the house.
It's stored safely in the UPMA vault, securely and insured.
But the S ⁇ P 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.

Okay, folks, I'm rejoined now by the great Sean Bergen, our intrepid correspondent, also host of his own radio program, WLINY.com up in New York.
And we encourage everyone to check that out, and he'll give us a little more information about that before he goes tonight.
But we've got a lot to talk about.
Sean, when I saw the fur over the, what I found very humorous gif of Donald Trump tackling a CNN logo, I knew that we had to have you on to talk about it.
So really break down what happened from the very beginning and certainly give us the details on the media's response to this and their hysterics and theatrics.
Well, look, CNN right now as a network is collapsing and floating on itself.
I think when media watchers and media pundits and historians look back years from now, they're going to point to this weak 10-day period as the period that Donald Trump, President of the United States, defeated the liberal media because it's not just CNN.
It's CNN and everything that CNN represents, which is a corrupt, liberal, politicized news media that is engaged right now in trying to stage a coup.
They are trying to overthrow a duly elected president.
And, you know, these people are so governed by their emotions and by their feelings that they're so easily manipulated.
And that's what Donald Trump and his side partner, Stephen K. Bannon, are doing.
These guys are brilliant strategists.
They are five steps ahead of everybody else.
Anytime you see something that looks like, oh my gosh, what the heck is Trump doing?
Believe me, there is a really thought out strategy behind it.
The news media, the liberal news media, has been, they're being toyed with by the Trump administration.
This GIF that you're talking about was thought up by some young guy who posted it on Reddit.
And then Trump simply saw it, I guess saw the humor in it, like anybody else who's not a foaming at the mouth liberal saw the humor in it and he retweeted it.
Of course, the reaction from CNN was just so completely over the top that some now are referring to CNN as thug journalism because they have basically threatened the guy who posted this GIF originally with revealing his name, his address, and outing this guy if he did not issue an apology, a retraction, and promised not to do it again.
So what could have been an easy win for CNN, they have completely boomeranged it on themselves and turned it into a losing proposition and made themselves look horrible in the process.
They look right now, I think one of the number one trending items on Twitter right now is CNN blackmailing this guy.
And so, you know, they have only themselves to blame.
But, you know, when you look at what they've done over the last four to six weeks, it really is staggering that a once-respected news agency like CNN has fallen to the depths that they have fallen.
And it's not just this meme, this gift that was put out.
It's their hysterical response to it in saying that, oh, Donald Trump is now going to be inciting potential violence and violent attacks against journalists.
That's exactly what CNN has been guilty of, is inciting violent attacks against Republican political leaders.
Okay, Sean, you covered a lot that I want to touch on this hour, but let's go back to the very top of it all.
So in case anybody's been out of the country or on another planet in the last couple of days, so there was this clip of Donald Trump before he was President Trump, of course, participating in a WWE skit, a WWE match, and he came out as himself and body slammed some guy and started pounding him on the floor, all staged, of course, which, you know, it's professional wrestling.
But in this clip, it's the same clip, except the CNN logo had been superimposed over the guy's head that Trump was pummeling.
And I saw that, and I just let out a belly laugh.
I thought it was funny.
This was before I had even found the reaction from the press.
But to me, Donald Trump has underwhelmed as president based upon, I guess, perhaps overly high expectations or what he said he was going to do in the first hundred days.
For whatever reason, he's fallen short of that.
But when I saw this, I said, this is the Donald Trump that I voted for.
But of course, the first thing I read were some of the CNN lackeys, CNN correspondents saying that Trump is inciting violence against the press.
This must stop in all capital letters.
So Trump retweeting a parody, obviously a humorous, not to be taken seriously gif.
It was just comedy.
I took it in the spirit it was offered.
But yes, you're right.
This is the same media, Sean, that in a situation like Ferguson or Baltimore will absolutely inflame racial tensions and hatred and absolutely incite violence, not only against perhaps police officers or white people in general, but certainly will encourage the lawbreakers, the mob, to continue their lawlessness and burning or tearing up buildings or whatever they're doing.
This media absolutely aids and abets in that behavior.
But when you have just a humorous little 10-second retweet, you would think that he had absolutely gone to the Rose Garden and called for American people to murder journalists.
You just can't make it up.
Well, I mean, let's go back to their longtime New Year's Eve host, Kathy Griffin, who engaged in a little piece of ISIS propaganda by hoisting up a severed head of Donald Trump.
That's the first CNN personality we're talking about, okay?
I mean, that's as bad as it gets.
I mean, talk about trying to incite fringe characters.
Then we have, of course, Fareed Zakaria, who is the resident CNN plagiarist.
This guy has been caught plagiarizing more than a dozen times, and he's been pointed out as such by his fellow liberal media types.
Now, this Fareed Zakaria went out with a tweet calling the Shakespeare in the Park Julius Caesar adaptation that shows a Donald Trump likeness being assassinated on stage night after night.
Fareed Zakaria referred to this in a tweet as a masterpiece that all people visiting New York should go and check out this play, right?
Then, of course, we have Riza Aslan, who has since been fired from CNN, the Iranian-American religious expert who is famous for engaging in cannibalism.
He was on tape eating pieces of human brain on TV, right?
And this is supposed to be their religious scholar.
He went out with a tweet that referred to Donald Trump as a POS, okay?
We all know what that means because Trump, in the aftermath of the London Bridge terror attack, had the audacity to point out the necessity of instituting his travel ban from these six Muslim-majority nations that are virtual factories for jihadis to go overseas and commit terror attacks.
So you have those three on-air talents, Kathy Griffin, Fareed Zakaria, and Riza Aslan, who were out there engaged in glorifying potential acts of violence against the president.
And what happened?
What happened to some fringe character by the name of Hodgkinson who watches CNN and Rachel Maddow and MSNBC religiously?
This guy picks up a rifle, a battle rifle, goes to a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, and opens fire on Republican political leaders.
And the liberals would never in a million years allow the rest of America to connect those dots.
This guy, Clearly Hodgkinson, was clearly a madman, but those are the people we need to concern ourselves with.
These people who look at news organizations like CNN and MSNBC as being legitimate news outlets.
And then is this guy influenced or swayed by what these people are saying?
Well, you know, we don't know for sure because now the guy is dead.
But I don't think it's an overreach to look at that and say, wait a minute, there is certainly a cause and effect here.
So CNN, like liberals in general, are guilty of the very thing that they accuse others of doing.
And that's what this whole thing is in a nutshell.
And clear-thinking adults are able to look at this and recognize it for what it is.
And that's why CNN's ratings have collapsed virtually in the month of June.
All right, Sean, you're at the top of your game tonight, brothers.
Stay tuned, everybody.
We've got to take a quick break.
We'll be back with more of Sean Bergen on this topic, and then we're going to get to something really a life and death matter.
Much more serious a little bit later with Sean.
So stay tuned.
Much more Sean just hours.

Premier Health Plan is an insurance company operating in Ohio.
It will leave the insurance exchanges by the end of the year.
You may remember that Anthem announced early in June that it would also leave exchanges.
Premier Health considers the uncertainty about the Affordable Care Act to have created so much volatility it's not safe.
As a result, the company says it cannot effectively price health insurance in the state of Ohio.
Some counties in the Buckeye state will have no options at all.
Democratic leaders in the House may try to tamp down talk of impeaching the president, but some Democratic leaders are going to use a new tack.
Democrat Jamie Raskin has introduced legislation to create a commission to declare the president incapacitated.
25 Democrats in the House support the bill, including John Conyers, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
If the legislation passed, the House would have to form a panel and follow up on it.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Guine at 1-866-986-6397.
Well, folks, it's always a privilege to be joined by Sean Bergen, who's become a good friend of ours over the years, filing regular reports, and typically with regards to issues such as what we're talking about now pertaining to the media and certainly crime, terrorism.
He's an expert on all of these things.
Sean spent a career working for the mainstream media, though he was one of the few who were able to do it without selling out and maintaining a sense of honesty and integrity.
And so Sean understands the way the media works, unlike in a way that most of us will never know.
So, Sean, I saw this tweet from Nancy Pelosi in response to Donald Trump's retweeting of the GIF of him tackling the CNN logo.
And giving your expertise in this field, I'd like to have you respond to it.
Pelosi writes, violence and violent imagery to bully the press must be rejected.
This July 4th, celebrate freedom of the press, the guardians of our democracy.
Sean, is that what they are?
That's what they're supposed to be.
They are supposed to be the guardians of our democracy.
They are supposed to be the guardians of free speech, not the guardians of politically correct speech that they have turned into.
And they are certainly not guardians of democracy.
They act more like state-run media.
They basically were engaged in a PR effort for Barack Obama for eight years.
And then they just went full tilt off the hook with the arrival of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Let's make something abundantly clear.
The news media gave Donald Trump, the candidate, $2 billion worth of free press coverage because they thought this guy was going to be roundly defeated by Hillary Clinton.
They set this guy up for a fall.
That's exactly what the media does in this country.
The idea that we have a free and fair press is something is just some fantasy that Democrats engage in because they know damn well that 98% of the journalists, the producers, the decision makers in the American media are full-on Democrats who used to act in collusion with the Democrat Party.
Now they actually lead the Democrat Party, where they put out information so Democrat Party operatives can take this information and disseminate it worldwide.
We saw that with the Iranian nuclear deal when Obama's chief strategist Ben Rhodes talked about how he completely fed an echo chamber of the New York Times to legitimize what was really just, I mean, setting the Israelis up for a second Holocaust.
I mean, Nancy Pelosi lives out in some place that I call planet Pelosi.
These are people who are participating in their own reality.
For the rest of us, we would call a person like that insane.
But, you know, this is the world in which they inhabit.
She would think they're shameless.
They are without a conscience.
Most of them, I think, are like, you know, half-wits or sociopaths because the conscience they do have is so full of holes, it looks like Swiss cheese.
I mean, you know, this is the world.
Look, they know that their world is collapsing.
They know that their media outlets now are no longer being taken seriously.
CNN as a news operation is more like a comedy channel now than anything else.
According to TV Newser, their ratings barely made it above 800,000 in the month of June, which is less than one-third of the ratings of Fox News.
They know that entire swaths of the public now are able to look at them as being just ridiculous.
And with each successive Trump victory, the corrupt liberal media is going to diminish in stature, diminish in stature, diminish in stature, until they have no ratings at all.
And nobody's watching them.
If it weren't for airports, CNN wouldn't have an audience at all.
Well, I'll tell you, that's funny.
That's a good line.
I'd say the media certainly must be destroyed and remade in our image.
Remade in the image of the American people, at least.
But I read that quote from Pelosi, and I ask, how can she even write that with a straight face?
How can she even write that without laughing?
The press, at best, is simply a mouthpiece for the regime.
And certainly more than that, it attempts to be an enforcer of political correctness, which is somewhat comical in itself, because to be an enforcer, you think of a strong, burly person, but not these weaklings that prance around in skinny jeans with press credentials.
But another thing that they said, they really begin to repeat the word unpresidential.
Now, this is something that's been charged against Trump since he descended the golden escalator and announced his candidacy a couple of years ago.
But unpresidential, that was a word we heard a lot about after the video retweet.
But they use that a lot about Trump.
I can think we can all think of so many instances, Sean, where they didn't use the word thousands and thousands.
But one that comes to mind, it certainly wasn't unpresidential in their mind when Bill Clinton used Monica Lewinsky as a cigar humidor in the Oval Office.
That wasn't unpresidential, was it?
Oh, no.
And even worse than that, I mean, very credible rape charges pressed against Bill Clinton.
And you would think by Juanita Broderick, and I think if the party affiliation were reversed and this were a Republican, we were talking about, Bill Clinton would have been drummed out of public life years ago.
But instead, the guy is like the elder statesman of the Democratic Party.
I mean, this is the insanity that we're talking about, is that, you know, they're talking about unpresidential conduct.
I mean, you know, I mean, him and his wife engaged in, you know, one of the greatest cases of international money laundering ever in existence.
They would make a Russian oligarch blush, for God's sakes.
And this goes completely ignored by our corrupt media and people like Nancy Pelosi.
You know, and the public now recognizes this.
They're able to see this.
The Democrats are in really, really bad shape.
Their party is in really in disarray.
There's a whole load of corruption that could very well be uncovered now as we move forward with everybody from Anthony Weiner, Uma Abiden, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, and this unmasking scandal that nobody in the mainstream press seems to want to pay any attention to, Barack Obama's potential involvement in all of that.
I mean, we have Obama now out overseas acting as like some kind of shadow president.
I mean, it's talk about unpresidential.
I mean, this guy is out there in Indonesia bashing the current holder of the office.
That's as unpresidential as it gets.
Yes.
George Bush has every opportunity to stand up and point at the craziness that was the Obama administration and never ever did it.
And he said the reason he didn't was not because he agreed or disagreed with anything Obama did, but he said because it was not something that he thought would be good for the country.
But Obama doesn't think in those terms.
Obama thinks what's going to be good for Obama?
And right now, like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, all of them should have just left the public stage a long time ago.
They are all out there actively engaged in trying to further their own agenda or hang on to their own agenda or their own legacy in what is increasingly looking like an act of desperation.
That is unpresidential.
Well, that's true, Sean, although they do a service to the rest of us, and the media does us a service.
If you wanted to see Donald Trump be a shoe-in to be a one-term president, let the press start writing good things about him because I think the game's up.
I truly believe that the majority of the voters out there, well, this is clear, the vast majority, I mean, we're talking 80, 90% have no faith in the press, but I think even now the plurality of voters will absolutely go for whatever the media tells them is wrong.
Or whatever the media is for, they'll be against.
Whatever the media is against, they'll be for.
And I think we've entered into that age.
And Trump's really helped to hasten that.
Especially where it concerns independent voters who I think will now swing in ever-increasing numbers over to the conservative Republican side because they actually see the country beginning to succeed again.
They're looking at the numbers of criminal aliens that are being rounded up and deported.
Crime rates will drop.
The president now is sending federal law enforcement into cities like Chicago to help out there after 60 people and 60 people were shot in Chicago over the 4th of July weekend.
So, you know, I mean, there's a lot of these people will actually begin to see for themselves.
I'm glad you brought that up.
Chicago, I think a day or two before the 4th, they'd already had something like 18 shootings and a couple of deaths, if my facts are correct.
So that's just another day, another day in the American city of Chicago.
We talk about liberating some of these Middle Eastern cities.
We need to liberate Chicago.
Yeah, Chicago, Detroit.
And I think if we can start, I think as these people begin to see success in these cities with the drop in the crime rate and an increase in the employment rate, they're going to start waking up to the fact that, holy cow, Barack Obama did absolutely nothing for us for eight straight years.
And here's this guy everybody's labeled as a racist who's doing the exact opposite.
He's actually helping out blacks and Hispanics in the inner city and helping them move up and out of what are really miserable living conditions.
All right, Sean, I know when we originally talked yesterday, we talked about having you on for 30 minutes.
We're coming up on the break.
Before we go to break, if you don't mind, tell us when your show airs, how people can tune in, and then if you don't mind, if you could stay just two or three minutes after the break, I want to ask you very quickly about what happened up in New York.
But first, let's take care of business and plug your show and how people can connect.
Sure, thanks for that, James.
Yeah, Thursday nights from 7.30 to 9.30, WLINY.com.
Sean Bergen, straight to the point.
Internet radio, just like we're doing here.
I cover a lot of the same things that we're talking about.
You know, subject matter is along the same lines.
And, you know, for those of you who are available who want to, you know, tune into some great internet radio, Thursday nights, 7.30 to 9.30.
WLIWNY.com.
All right.
Thank you, Sean.
Stay with us just for two or three minutes after the break.
I want to hear about what happened in New York.
We fought.
We learned.
We struggled.
We won.
Despite Obama's best efforts, the newspaper of the human resistance survives.
We have lived only to face a new nightmare, the war against the machines.
Read about our struggle in The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The Sovereign is a 24-page monthly tabloid newspaper about the war between man and machinery.
We've tried reason.
We've tried legislation.
We've tried every peaceful means imaginable.
And all it's gotten us is shut out.
So now we fight the machines.
Order online today at thesovenews.com or find the sovereign at select newsstands.
Remember to read The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The human resistance's battle against the machines will be everlasting.
This is mercy.
It was never our destiny to stop the age of Obama.
It was merely to survive it.
Together, together.
The first time I ever truly took a drink was the summer before my freshman year of high school.
When I was 12, I went to a party and everybody was drinking, and so I just grabbed me a beer and started drinking.
The first time I drank, you know, it was fun.
Find the game, see if we can do it without getting caught.
I didn't know that I was going to wine up more.
I wasn't drinking beer.
It took too long to get drunk and I didn't like the taste very well.
You know, it got to the point where I was drinking so much, I was getting bored with the feeling, I was getting bored with the prize.
That's all that goes through your hair is when am I going to get wasted again?
You know, I started in slowly, you know, you're pot.
Then you just slowly move up the scale.
It's the typical story of a drug user.
Beer's the easiest thing for teenagers to get, and so they take one beer, which is like your first step.
Don't even do it.
It's not worth a ticket from somebody you know.

Okay, everybody, keeping Sean for just two extra minutes here.
Sean, I think one of the very first shows you did for us, maybe not the very first, but early in our run together, we had a shooting.
Black Lives Matter supporter goes up to New York, shoots two cops, murders two cops as they sit in their patrol car.
You were outside the hospital while the rest of the press was still trying to figure out what was going on and get there.
And you were reporting live from the scene.
It was an incredible night of radio for us.
And so this sadly brings us back to some of those roots.
What happened in New York over the week, the long weekend?
Well, it was actually remarkably similar to the assassination of officers Ramos and Lou that you referred to.
This was a woman this time sitting again in a marked squad car with her partner on 183rd Street and Morris Avenue in the Bronx.
And a 34-year-old ex-convict by the name of Alexander Bond walked up to the car and shot this woman once in the head.
She's on the job 12 years.
She has three children at home.
She was rushed to the hospital and rushed into surgery, and she died in the hospital.
Alexander Bond, meanwhile, fled the scene.
A couple of NYPD police officers caught up with him a few blocks away and they gunned down Bond.
So exactly what this man's motivations were beyond wanting to gun down a uniformed officer while on duty is unknown to us right now.
You know, we know he's got a violent past.
He's got a record.
Armed robbery served seven years upstate New York, originally from Syracuse.
But whatever connection he may have to this officer right now is unclear.
It looks like he just may have gone out at this point and just looked to kill a cop.
So, yeah, we lost another police officer.
This, of course, was a growing trend under Barack Obama.
And as this Black Lives Matter domestic terrorist organization gained legitimacy, legitimacy that was bestowed upon them by a corrupt liberal news media, they grew in numbers.
And, you know, again, they have influenced.
We don't know if that's the case in this case, but like the assassination of officers Ramos and Lou, they definitely had some influence over the gunman Brimley in that case, who was a, according to his social media posts, was a follower and a devotee of Black Lives Matter.
So, you know, this is just the climate in which we live, and really good, heroic people are being killed as a result.
Sean, thanks so much for lending us a little bit of vurability this hour, and it's always great to have you on with us.
We look forward to the next time already.
In the meantime, folks, be sure to check Sean out Thursday nights, W-L-I-N-Y.com up in New York.
Great radio.
Thank you, Sean.
Thanks very much, James.
Thanks for having me, as always.
I'll see you around campus, brother man.
Thank you, brother.
Talk to you later.
So there he goes, ladies and gentlemen, Sean Bergen.
Sean Bergen, I'll tell you, I respect Sean for a lot of reasons.
Number one, he paid the price.
And when you pay the price, you actually stand up and face the firing squad.
You are part of Elite Company.
Now, you could say, well, Sean says some things on here that even you don't agree with, James, or certainly the show has taken different opinions on certain matters.
Yes, he does.
And of course, I don't think any of us agree on everything all the time.
But I'll tell you, Sean's a professional.
And as you know, and for people who perhaps don't know Sean's backstory, it'd be hard for you not to because we make mention of it quite often, especially when he's making appearances with us.
But he worked for the mainstream media.
He was a television news reporter in the biggest market in the world, New York City.
And he had had his fill of black violence.
And a police officer was murdered, and Sean was covering the story.
And he just, he didn't go off on camera uncontrollably, but he editorialized and he talked about some of the solutions that need to be applied to address the problem of rampant black crime.
And he was fired.
But he maintained his dignity through it all.
He didn't grovel.
He didn't apologize.
He lost his job, but he never recanted.
And he's gone on now and is, of course, appearing with us regularly.
Anybody that will do that, I tell you, has more metal than most men out there on the street.
I can tell you that.
And I'm a guy who has had more experience with the mainstream media than all but a handful of my peers.
Maybe Sam Bushman, Jared Taylor, David Duke.
There's a couple of people in our community that would have more experience with me in the media.
Sam Bushman has owned radio stations and certainly this network and has managed AM radio stations.
So he has a unique experience that I don't have.
There are other people like Duke, for instance, who maybe have done more interviews.
Sean Burkin, who's actually worked as a reporter for the mainstream press.
So there's a handful of people out there and no more than that.
But those people who have done it, I respect.
And I'm happy to work with.
But I'll tell you, with regard to my experience with the press, they are evil.
They are pathological liars.
Hell is too good for them.
Now, that's just my, and again, you've got to defer to the people who have had the experience.
A lot of people can offer opinions, and everybody's opinion should have some degree of merit.
But I think the people whose opinions you must take into account the most are the people who've been through it, the people who know, the people who have gone through these rigors.
And, you know, speaking of CNN, of course, you know, I had some experience with CNN.
There was a very short time where I was a regular contributor to CNN.
Now, we've done all sorts of interviews.
Back when they had still just the slightest shred of remaining credibility, I guess you could say.
And even then, it was very scant, almost non-existent, but certainly more in 2007 than in 2017.
And that's when I was making the rounds there.
But now there's a couple of different levels of media experience that I have.
Number one, all the interviews I've done, radio, television, newspapers, all the stories that have been written about our work here on the program, radio, television, newspapers.
So you participate in the interviews or you don't, and they write about you or cover you anyway.
So we've got all of that.
And that's where I say all but a handful of my peers.
We've got a little bit more experience there.
And we're thankful for that.
You've made that possible, ladies and gentlemen.
But I've also had this experience with CNN, which is part of that.
Back in 07, there's a couple of different ways you can gain media interest.
You can do something that they specifically want to interview you about.
Let's just say, oh, I don't know, you won an election or you did something as an individual that sets you apart and they want to talk to you specifically about what you did or why you're in the news at that moment.
For instance, the Donald Trump Jr. interview.
Of course, every media in the world wanted to talk to Sam Bushman and yours truly over that because we interviewed Donald Trump Jr. because of our reputation.
So that's one way you can get in the news.
The other way is they consider you to be a versatile commentator on a variety of issues.
So they bring you in not to talk about yourself or a story that you're personally involved with, but to bring you in to offer your commentary on subject matter that doesn't involve you personally.
And that was how I was brought into CNN back in 2007.
I had a short-lived stint as an on-air contributor.
I know there was three times in one month they brought me up back in April of 07.
Three times in one month, that's pretty stout.
And none of it involved me personally.
I think I was on at one time to talk about racial segregation in schools with a panel, including Roland Martin and Jesse Lee Peterson.
Great guy.
I was on to talk about the Knoxville murders of the black-on-white murder in Knoxville.
And I think one time to talk about immigration.
So generic topics, I guess.
But I was brought on because they considered me to be an expert on race-related topics, which certainly I would consider myself to be, at least in the media, or one of the few media people, I guess you could say, that would be willing to get on national television.
This was back in 07 and talk about these things.
So anyway, CNN's at the middle of this incident with Donald Trump and the tackling of the CNN logo that they think is so horrible.
I can remember, though, going into CNN one time doing one of these in-studio panels and wearing a Confederate flag tie.
And I remember one of the producers gasping, just shock.
It was a very nice tie.
It wasn't tacky.
In fact, you had to get pretty close to it to see that it was small Confederate flags in the pattern there.
A patriotic tie, absolutely.
But somebody said they weren't gasping over the tie.
They were gasping because they actually saw an uncucked white male in person.
They don't have many of those in New York.
But I will say this for CNN.
They do deserve to be destroyed.
I mean, this was a network that once regularly hosted me and always introduced me as a conservative AM talk radio host, which guess what I am.
Well, of course, last year they forgot all about that.
It was white supremacist James Edwards just about every other week.
And so they got to go.
But in that short time, I will say they did me right.
First-class cars, airfare, hotels, it was the high life there for a little while.
Although I always felt certainly that they were just using my incredibly handsome looks to excite the female viewers.
But they got to go.
They got to go just like the rest of them.
They're no good.
But it is interesting when you have that perspective.
And I always like sharing my stories with you, ladies and gentlemen.
You know that.
But CNN's got to go.
They all got to go.
And they will be remade.
The media will be remade by networks like this, shows like ours, people like Sean Bergen out there who have that insider experience in the industry and doing his own work there on the internet radio as we do ours on AM radio and also, of course, the internet as well.
And the new media is taking center stage.
We've talked about this time and time again.
In fact, I think just a couple of weeks ago, we talked about how Red Ice, people like John Langopoulos on TV up in Michigan, we're really Legion now.
And more and more, their ratings are tanking, and people are going to alternative sources.
And we're happy to be here on the front lines and been doing it longer than most.
We'll be back with a second hour with Keith Alexander right after this.
