	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.
	I'll be alone each and every night.
	While you're away, don't forget to write.
	Bye-bye, so farewell.
	Bye-bye, so see you in September.
	See you when the summer's through.
	Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's September.
	Here we are.
	How did that happen?
	September, my goodness.
	It's fall.
	Time does have a way of ticking on by, does it not?
	Welcome to tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
	I'm your host, as always, James Edwards, this Saturday evening, September 2nd.
	This is a very special week for the Edwards family.
	Both my brother and my father and my cousin, one of my cousins anyway, have a birthday in the first week of September.
	So it's always a festive time of year.
	And I think when the calendar flips to September, we get ready for the fall, which has always been my favorite season of the year.
	You get ready for all the festivities associated with Halloween and Thanksgiving and, of course, Christmas.
	And it's just a wonderful time of year.
	So I'm happy to be broadcasting to you tonight, this first week of September, as we bring you another unrehearsed and uncensored broadcast of TPC.
	And it's going to be a good one tonight.
	Jared Taylor, our old friend, my old friend and yours, will be with us to help me survey the landscape post-Charlottesville.
	So it's been three weeks, almost a month, since Charlottesville.
	Jared and I are going to take a look at what's going on in the movement at large since that event.
	And of course, yes, a week ago, Harvey was bearing down on Texas, and now the aftermath of that is absolutely catastrophic.
	We have a lot of listeners down there in that region.
	And of course, we're thinking about you tonight.
	I know that Donald Trump has donated a million dollars of his own personal money to that.
	No other president has ever done anything like that.
	So that's good.
	And we'll talk more about that later tonight.
	Busy show.
	Aren't they always?
	You know, once a week, we've got a lot to cover.
	It's always a trough overflowing by the time it gets to our three-hour commercial radio time each week.
	But I want to kick off the show tonight with an update for you.
	A year and a half ago, we filed a lawsuit against the Detroit News, which is the daily newspaper that services the city of Detroit and one of its columnists.
	And I have an update on that.
	I know a lot of you email me from time to time asking me if there's been any update on our case.
	And we do have an update.
	But before we get to the update, I am going to first take you back to the beginning, just as a reminder, because over the course of the last year and a half, certainly as always, we have added many new listeners.
	And so some of you may not be aware of the situation.
	So on April 5th of last year, my attorney, Kyle Bristow, of the Michigan-based Bristow LAW PLLC, demanded a retraction of a defamatory statement that appeared in the April 12th edition or, excuse me, the march 12th edition of the of the Detroit NEWS UH, in which I was alleged to be the leader of the KU KLUX KLAN, or a leader of the KU KLUX KLAN uh.
	So on april 18th, a civil action was filed against the Detroit NEWS Incorporated, and its columnist, Ban Cole Thompson, in the state of Michigan's third judicial circuit court for Wayne County for libel per se, defamation by implication and evasion of privacy or false light.
	We demanded a trial by jury and the honorable Kathleen Mcdonald was assigned to the case in the lower court.
	We intend to see this matter through a just and equitable conclusion and in fact, if you look up textbook law on this matter, you'll find that, according to the restatement of torts, a textbook definition of what constitutes defamation is an allegation, for instance, if someone was a member of the KU KLUX KLAN,
	alleging that it someone was a member of the KU KLUX KLAN, when in fact uh, they are not.
	And of course, they went much further than that in so much as saying I was in fact, the leader of the KU KLUX KLAN.
	So we decided to do something.
	So many people out there gripe and complain, but they don't ever do anything.
	Here at TPC, we believe in taking a leadership role.
	What are you going to let these people get away with?
	If, what can they get away with?
	Is there any line?
	Do we have any protection under the law?
	Uh as, as dissidents and so far the jury, no pun intended, is out on that we did lose uh our, our case in the lower court, and so last summer we appealed it to the Michigan Court OF Appeals, and it has been there for the last well over a year anyway.
	Uh, just sort of mired in the process.
	Well, last night on friday, my attorney was notified that oral arguments have been scheduled for october the 5th in the Michigan Court OF Appeals and, if you don't know how this works, at this point a panel of three judges will decide whether or not to kick this uh case back down to the lower court, where we will then, I believe, receive a trial by jury,
	or they too will rule in favor of the defendants, in this case the Detroit Newspaper, and that'll be that now.
	We could, at that point, appeal to the Supreme Court OF the State OF Michigan, but they only take or agree to hear a very small percentage of cases that are offered to them, and so if we lose in the Court OF Appeals, that's probably the end of the ballgame, even though we may try further action.
	We'll just have to see how it plays out in the Court OF Appeals.
	Well, oral arguments are scheduled for october the 5th, and the panel of judges that were randomly selected so we're told, just so happens to be, in this case, a Jewish woman, a Jewish man, and a black woman.
	So I think I got a pretty good shot at this thing, don't you, ladies and gentlemen?
	What do you think?
	I think this case is going to be, in fact, a test case on what rights under the law dissidents, political dissidents, people who are not in tune with the prevailing currents have.
	Textbook law is on our side.
	I think we have an airtight case.
	I wouldn't have pursued it if I didn't think that we had been damaged and that we had been wronged and that the law wasn't on our side.
	We're certainly not in the business of filing frivolous lawsuits.
	But we do want to lead by example in fighting for our rights, whether it be on the airwaves, in the streets, or in the court of public opinions, or even in a court of law.
	But we'll see.
	So you have a white heterosexual male from the South now going have his case heard by this panel of judges in the state of Michigan.
	It's going to be very interesting.
	There are some people out there that say that there's no way that we would get a fair trial or a fair hearing or a fair judgment.
	And others that say the rule of law will prevail.
	I certainly subscribe to one of those opinions.
	We'll talk more about that after this thing is settled one way or another.
	Sam Dixon often says that it's not the justice system anymore.
	It's the just us system and we ain't us.
	But we'll find out, ladies and gentlemen.
	So that's coming up.
	But I'll tell you this, win, lose, or draw, nobody could have done a better job representing me than Kyle Bristow.
	We'll update you after the oral arguments are heard in October.
	And I just wanted to give you that update because we promised you that we would.
	And I know a lot of you care and have concerns about this case.
	And so that's it for now.
	We're on with the show for tonight and more to come on that as the weeks go by.
	Stay tuned.
	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 machines.
	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.
	When a beer commercial, everyone's happy and they're jumping around or whatever.
	The thing is, is they not only have appealing activities, they have appealing people out there, too.
	You know, you see beer commercials and it's done with natural water and it's cold food or heat pasteurized and all that kind of stuff.
	They make it sound more like a health food almost.
	But they never show the hangovers or alcoholism or anything like that.
	And then in reality, you're happy and then you're vomiting in the bathroom and then you're waking up sick the next morning with a really bad headache.
	Any person that says that beer is married for recreational use is stupid because it's a form of alcohol.
	They just want your money.
	It's the people that sell the product that are getting the most out of it, not the people that use it.
	That's exactly what they're doing.
	They're going to all sell our beer and it doesn't matter what it takes to sell it.
	No, they're not honest messages.
	They don't show the flip side of it.
	The result of alcohol.
	A public service message from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
	Are you familiar with the term vigor?
	Strength in body and mind?
	He pursued his tennis game with vigor, for example.
	Well, I hadn't, but I learned about it from Kurt Crosby.
	All right.
	And he actually let me take a scientifically proven free vigor test.
	And I got 13 out of 32.
	Not very good.
	But I worked on it with him.
	And believe it or not, now I have a 29 out of 32 and improving vigor score.
	You say, Sam, what on earth is this scientific vigor score, huh?
	My response is you got to take the free test available now.
	Get a hold of Kurt Crosby to learn about it.
	The number's 801-669-2211.
	That's 801-669-2211.
	Or email Kurt, C-U-R-T, at LibertyRoundtable.com.
	That's Kurt, C-U-R-T, at LibertyRoundtable.com for your free vigor test today.
	Kurt, LibertyRoundtable.com or 801-669-2211.
	Vigor test, free, scientifically proven today.
	It's time to jump back into the political cesspool to be part of the show and have your voice heard around the world.

	Well, folks, you're probably wondering where is Keith Alexander?
	Keith Alexander is not in the studio with me tonight, as you probably have figured out after listening to the first segment, but he is around the region at least.
	He is in the greatest state in the Union, if you ask me, the proud Confederate state of Mississippi.
	Keith, how are you, buddy?
	I'm all right, sir.
	Can you hear me?
	I hear you.
	I hear you clear.
	I know you've got a little bit of background noise, so we'll try to mitigate that as best we can.
	Can you hear me?
	I guess I should ask.
	I can hear you fine.
	Somebody's playing the national anthem on a violin, if you believe that.
	All right.
	Well, we'll work our way around that and keep on trucking.
	There's a couple of things I want to talk to you about tonight, and we're going to let you fly early.
	And of course, we've got a great guest in the second hour and much more to come for everyone else listening.
	But Keith, I know that you are aware of the most recent developments in my case against the Detroit News because we communicated with each other last night about that.
	Now, you have spent a career in the legal field.
	What do you think about the most recent developments?
	And do you think we stand a chance?
	Well, I don't think you stand a chance at the first appellate level.
	You said you have a free judge panel, two Jews, and a black woman.
	Not exactly the type of panel you'd want to draw if you're a white advocate, as you are, in this type of case.
	But I think that your lawyer is probably going to have to take it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if possible.
	And I think it would probably, it holds a big chance of being selected on sertiorari, rid of sursorari.
	They have discretionary appeals for most cases that go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
	There are very few cases that as a matter of rights can be appealed from the U.S. Supreme Court.
	But I think you have a good case that might go up there, particularly with the new personnel on the court.
	And I think, you know, that would be the best situation for you to get a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court saying that you've been slandered into fame because you're not a public person and you're definitely not a Klansman, which is what the Detroit Free Press claimed you were.
	So, you know, it shouldn't be an open and shut case, but, you know, the left is famous for their partisanship.
	And left, and left, you know, the lawmarks of the institution has definitely gone through the institution of the federal judiciary.
	So, and, you know, we need to build up a conservative equivalent of the left National Lawyer Guild so we have a stockpile of lawyers that can handle cases like yours and quite frankly the cases that should be being brought out of the Charlottesville case.
	There should be a 1983 action for violation of constitutional rights brought against the city of Charlottesville, the mayor, the police chief, and also the governor of Virginia.
	Likewise, whoever is representing James Field, the young man that was accused of second-degree murder by trying to escape a crazed mob of antipod, the first thing that should be done for him by his lawyer would be a motion for a change of venue.
	And likewise, you know, they're just all sorts of, and there should be a case for a show cause hearing in front of the federal judge that issued the comment or lifted the injunction on the protest for the United Right people against the mayor of Charlottesville and the governor of Virginia,
	asking them why they should not be held in contempt for violating his order.
	See, that's what we need.
	But, you know, I really, I'm hopeful if you can have a lawyer that is willing to take it all the way up to the top.
	And I hope you do.
	Well, Kyle Bristow is at the cutting edge of very bright, dare I say genius attorneys willing to take on politically incorrect clients.
	And I think certainly it could be argued that as someone with celebrity, you could consider me to be a public figure.
	But even public figures are protected by this degree of defamation.
	It is a little bit harder to make a defamation.
	I think Kyle said I was a limited use public figure is what he filed in the brief.
	But even we have this level of protection under the defamation statute.
	So I don't know, Keith, we'll see where it goes.
	You are under the opinion that a person like me cannot receive a fair trial from this particular panel, regardless of whether or not the rule of law is on our side.
	So that's a cynical position to take, but certainly...
	I think the rule of law is definitely on your side in this case.
	And I think that we, you know, let me say this too.
	I was very encouraged to read in a local newspaper that despite the fact that the governor of the state of Tennessee, Bill Haslam, supposedly a Republican, and the two Republican senators from Tennessee, Bob Clulker and Lamar Alexander, were in favor of relieving a bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general from the Hall of Luminaries at the State Legislative Assembly.
	The State Historical Society turned it down.
	God bless them.
	They are all convinced they were going to get a slam dunk.
	And I'm glad someone is standing up to these cushors that we elected into office.
	And I mean, we really need to get people, pick one good strong candidate to go against all, each one of these people because they are traitors to their race and traitors to their state and their heritage.
	Well, Keith, that is great news.
	I appreciate it.
	I had heard something about that, but I did not hear that the State Historical Committee had dug in its heels and took a righteous position on that, did the right thing.
	So God bless the people on the state of Tennessee's state historical committee because they are the ones.
	They have a lot of sons of Confederate veterans on that.
	And, you know, we accuse them for not being strong enough, but they're in the position to help now.
	And I'm glad to see them stand up and be counted.
	Well, amen, Keith.
	I agree with you.
	And if you don't understand how it works in Tennessee, the Tennessee state legislature passed a law that states that the Tennessee State Historical Committee would have the final say over the removal of any historical monuments, busts, in this case, etc.
	And so that was actually done.
	So like Pontius Pilot, the Tennessee state legislature could wash its hands of the repercussions of what may befall any Confederate monument.
	And the State Historical Committee, the buck stops with them, according to the state legislature.
	And if I'm correct in this, Keith, they have held the line every time so far.
	Well, let me create you on a couple of things.
	First of all, the buck doesn't necessarily stop at the historical commission.
	He can be appealed to the Chancery Court of Davidson County right now, which is where Nashville is located, which is a lot better venue outside than Shelby County, which, of course, is 50% black, and the state of the city of Memphis is 65% black.
	That's one thing.
	Then the other thing is it was passed by a vast majority Republican state legislature, specifically despite Memphis.
	Memphis is the only majority black city of any size in the state of Tennessee.
	And as a result, it is the only place where Democrats, typically black Democrats, are elected to the state legislature.
	One of the results of the Obama presidency was states like Tennessee had a severe backlash, and basically they wiped out the Democrats.
	And the Republicans, you know, there was something.
	They basically said, we want to know what Memphis was so we can vote exactly the opposite into law.
	So that's what they did with that state historical commission, you know, arbitrage situation.
	And of course, the people in Memphis are trying to get things changed so that they can transfer the appeal from the court of Chancery Court of Davidson County to Chancery Court in Shelby County.
	Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that doesn't come to pass.
	All right, hang on right there, Keith.
	It sounds like you're at a reenactment of the Battle of Thermopylae.
	So we're going to keep you for one more segment.
	We're going to keep you for one more segment, let you fly.
	But I got something I need your opinion on or need your response to, I guess I should say.
	So stick with us for a few more minutes.
	We'll let you get back to enjoy your evening.
	And for everybody else, sit tight, stay tuned.
	We'll just keep it down to a dollar one more here than ours.
	All right.
	Your daily Liberty Newswire.
	You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
	With Liberty News this hour, I'm Dennis Daly.
	Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is throwing his support behind the effort to eliminate the national health care system as we know it.
	The new proposal would take health care out of the hands of bureaucrats and put it into the hands of states via block grants.
	Senators Graham and Cassidy will introduce legislation when Congress returns from vacation in just a few days.
	Under the proposed legislation, each state would be able to innovate and craft its very own health care solutions.
	House Speaker Paul Ryan has gotten the permission he needs from the House Minority Leader to condemn the group Anti-Fa as left-wing thugs.
	Since Charlottesville, Speaker Ryan has been careful to condemn neo-Nazi white supremacists, but the House Speaker drew a line at condemning violent leftists.
	After President Trump said that there were people on both sides responsible for the violence, Ryan took to Facebook to say there are no sides.
	Nancy Pelosi issued a statement condemning the group's violence in Berkeley.
	The violent actions of people in Berkeley need to be condemned.

	All right, folks, getting back after it here.
	Keith Alexander in the role of Leonidas tonight.
	Keith, are you still there?
	I'm here.
	Okay, hang on, buddy.
	Let me pull up something.
	When it's live radio, you got to be ready to roll when you come out of a commercial break and got a quick go into the green room.
	All right, here we go.
	All right, so one of our favorite websites, of course, is faithandheritage.com.
	I am there every day.
	And the proprietor of that website, who's a good friend of ours, has come up with a hypothesis.
	And Keith, I'm going to read it to you.
	And you tell me your response and then we'll let you fly.
	He writes that the alt-right and social justice warriors are both white millennial-based movements reacting differently to the exact same root cause.
	And he goes a little further.
	And here's the treatment.
	When you're faced with the grim reality of becoming a hated minority in your own homeland within your lifetime, when you're hated, punished, and called evil for things that ended a full generation before you were born.
	When you see privileged minority groups being actively rewarded for playing as a team while you're forced to compete as an individual.
	When your way of life and the standards you consider normal, decent, and moral are labeled hateful, privileged, and marked for destruction.
	There are two polar opposite ways to respond.
	This is why there are so many white millennials in both the far left and the far right.
	One way of dealing with this is capitulation.
	You attempt to distance yourself from the hated, privileged minority by becoming a minority yourself.
	You invit your own gender.
	You claim a myriad of mental illnesses, such as homosexuality.
	Wholesale adopt attitudes of the enemy and start getting offended over everything.
	If you have a weird sexual orientation and fly a hammer and sickle, maybe the revolution won't eat you, or at least they may come for you last.
	To varying degrees, you can enjoy the benefits of being a minority as a queer or a social justice warrior or a feminist, even if you're white, at least for now.
	The other path is resistance.
	Reject the losing game of individualism and start grouping up and playing as a team with your co-ethnics.
	Reject the moral language of the people who hate you for who you are and throw it right back in their faces.
	Refuse to go quietly into the night and decide going down swinging is better than a slow death.
	And you might even win.
	Decide that your race, your religion, your history, your culture, your way of life, and majority status are nothing to be ashamed of and are worth fighting for.
	So again, that's the hypothesis.
	Members of the alt-right and social justice warriors are two different ways white millennials have handled the present anti-white climate.
	Keith, do you agree with that, and could you expound upon that?
	I think that millennials have a real problem.
	You know, there's been a lot of chatter in alt-right circles about the failings of the baby boomer generation or even the greatest generation.
	I think Charlottesville may have shown some of the more prescient people in the millennial generation that think like us of the difficulties their ancestors and their predecessors faced dealing with Jewish power and influence.
	When they control all the microphones, they basically control the narrative.
	The only difference between now and the civil rights movement is that in the civil rights movement, there was no computerized media.
	But back then you had to rely on the alphabet suit news channels.
	There were three plus PBS to all of your media news.
	And that's just, you know, an intolerable situation.
	We have millennials who have been blue-filled and red-filled.
	We on the right are the red-filled group.
	We understand that there's no concession that is going to lead to a happy ending for us.
	And we may as well stand and fight right now because, you know, I've always said that when white people become a minority in any country, from that moment on, minority rights becomes a thing of the past.
	Other racial groups are not as kind and beneficent towards minorities as we are.
	And when we can be outgunned reliably at the ballot box, it's going to be hell to pay.
	And I think the more intelligent people are the ones that are lining up with the alt-right.
	The people that are going for Antifa and things like this have been totally brainwashed into self-hatred.
	And they're really a pathetic specimen.
	And I think that the writer for Faith and Heritage has basically hit the nail on the head.
	And he concludes, Keith, with that there are a lot of signs that white Generation Z has figured out that social justice warriorism won't save them and that they are breaking towards the alt-right.
	And I think we've certainly seen that.
	But would you agree overall that it is this oppressive, intolerant, anti-white climate that has caused so many people of the same generation to break in polar opposite directions.
	One thinking that they'll save themselves by pretending to be a minority, and one choosing to fight to stand for what's holy and joining a cause greater than themselves.
	Do you think it is the climate itself, though, Keith, that has caused this schism between whites of the same generation?
	The health is a result of cultural Marxism.
	The law march through the institutions is falling not only through higher academia, but through every college, university, and public school in America and most private schools.
	And as a result of that, a lot of these kids are totally brainwashed.
	You know, if they don't get access to information, they have nothing to do.
	They can do except swallow the old well-in hogwash that they're getting from the establishment.
	That's why it's so important in final analysis that we keep on the air, that we keep on the computers, that regardless of whether we're getting paid for it or not, I know there are a lot of people who've been paid for the type of activism we do fairly handsomely in the past, and now their ox is being gored by the left, who has decided that cutting off the flow of money is the way to go.
	We're going to have to keep up the fight regardless because that information, the fact that we've been on the air like we have, other groups like Ambrand and Occidental Observer, so on and so forth, have been out there is the reason that we now have an occidental disam from the Faith in Heritage and a lot of other more recent groups coming online.
	And it's just going to proliferate.
	It's got the truth will make you free, as the Bible says.
	And we're the sole exponents, you know, on the alt-right of true, actual truth.
	See, we got all these namby-pamby, pastel, half-hearted, timorous conservatives like Sean Hannity that just buys into this hogwash that the civil rights movement was wholly and totally righteous and salutary.
	And that's why he comes out with all of his denunciations of Nazis and racists and people like that, not realizing that the civil rights movement was outplaying just like Charlottesville.
	The people in charge were actually controlling the public's access to information about what was really happening and creating a totally false narrative.
	You know, Sean Hannity is a junior college dropout, and why he should be looked upon as some type of guru by anyone is beyond my imagination.
	But so they're even going after people like him, and they've already taken Bill O'Reilly out.
	He's one of the biggest cuts of them all.
	Well, Keith, you got that right, brother.
	And listen, Keith Alexander for two segments with background noise is better than no Keith Alexander at all.
	And I know that you had a prior engagement tonight.
	He's down in Oxford, Mississippi tonight.
	I'll let everyone out there determine exactly what he's doing this evening based upon that information.
	But as Sam Bushman said, the results of what's happening with the coming generation is the actions of people who are desperate.
	And desperate situations call for desperate actions, I guess you could say.
	But Keith, we love you.
	Have a safe trip back to Memphis tonight, and we'll see you in the studio next Saturday.
	I'm telling you this about Oxford.
	I tell you what, there's still plenty of beautiful white women around.
	You can see them all over the place here.
	And heterosexuality is in no danger of being stamped out down here in Oxford.
	I can tell you that.
	So it's a wonderful thing in many ways.
	Keith down at his old alma mater.
	And again, I feel like he's 21.
	I know there's some beautiful girls down there at Ole Miss.
	Let's just go ahead and tell them where you're at.
	All right.
	Thank you, Keith.
	We'll talk to you next week, and I'll see you certainly before then.
	Love you, brother.
	Thank you so much, buddy.
	All right, talk to you.
	Enjoy the rest of your night.
	Keith Alexander, everybody.
	There he goes.
	So, not, in fact, at the reenactment of the Battle of Thermopylae, but indeed at an old Miss Football game.
	But Keith is alumni there.
	I'm actually listed in the top 10 most famous alumni, if you can believe it, at my alma mater.
	But we won't mention their name on the air, and we don't want to cause them any consternation.
	But good breakdown by Keith, as always.
	And again, just to set the stage for what is still to come tonight, we are going to have Jared Taylor with us at the top of the second hour to help me survey the post-Charlottesville landscape.
	You don't want to miss that.
	We're very excited about having Jared back, a man who has logged more guest appearances on TPC than any other guest in the history of the show.
	And there's good reason for that.
	And later on in the program, boy, we're really going to get into it.
	Well, you'll just have to find out for yourself, won't you?
	You got to stay tuned every segment, all three hours each week, to get the full TPC treatment.
	And I'm here to give it to you.
	And I'll be back right after this.

	Welcome back to Get On The Show.
	Call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
	All right, folks.
	Well, as I said, two segments of Keith Alexander, even with some background noise, is better than no Keith Alexander at all.
	Doesn't he make this show pop?
	I mean, isn't he just a tremendous asset?
	I really love the variety that we have when it comes to our staff.
	Keith is the man with the encyclopedic knowledge who can break down any issue in front of him concisely, succinctly, intelligently.
	Eddie comes with a lot of passion.
	He's the everyman that people can relate to, that people love and root for.
	Of course, I'm the good-looking one.
	And together, it just all meshes.
	And we have just such a wonderful camaraderie here with our staff.
	And that's just, of course, three people.
	That is not even before you get to Winston Smith, who's been such a valued member of our team for so many years, and Scoop and Jim Lanceya and Sean Bergen.
	And, of course, Sam Bushman, who you would never hear this show without.
	But even tonight with Keith out of the studio and out enjoying a night out, which all of us are entitled to, it was raw.
	That's what it is with live radio.
	It gives you a glimpse into our lives.
	And when we say we're live, unrehearsed, and uncensored, we mean it.
	And sometimes that comes with warts and all.
	And so, yeah, there was a little background noise with Keith, but it makes this show real.
	And that's one thing that this show, one of the many things this show has going for it, is the fact that we're very real.
	And we relate to our relate to our audience.
	We form relationships with our audience.
	And that's something that the insiders that the establishment can never do, would never do, and would never present to you.
	And that's just another reason I'm so proud to have founded this show.
	This show is my baby.
	This show is my brainchild.
	This show came from my mind.
	And everything we've accomplished for the last 13 years has been a result.
	I put the idea out there and got it rolling.
	Everything that's been accomplished since then is the result of the audience.
	And you know how much we love you folks.
	And we don't need to dwell on that because we talk about it so much.
	But you know we do.
	I do want to get back very quickly just to round out this hour for the symmetry of it all.
	My lawsuit, since it could be coming towards a conclusion one way or another.
	Maybe, maybe not.
	I don't know.
	We'll just see what happens.
	But Keith took the cynical point of view.
	And I hadn't asked him exactly what he thought about our chances, but he said he thought our chances were not too good.
	Considering who I am and who the judges are on our panel, that was quote-unquote randomly selected.
	I guess it was.
	Well, that's certainly one way to look at it.
	Other people would say that the rule of law will prevail.
	We have more faith in people than that.
	That, yes, these people are Jewish and black and I'm white and I'm a male.
	And you know what?
	The rule of law is going to prevail.
	Well, we'll see, won't we?
	We'll see in a month.
	We'll find out in less than a month if that theory holds true.
	I hope it does because I am convinced, again, that the rule of law is on our side.
	You read our case, and you can find it on Scribd, which is one of the services that you can put all of these long, lengthy files on.
	Law is clearly behind us.
	Now, Keith was a little bit wrong on one thing, and I even talked to my attorney about this.
	I am a public figure as a result of the celebrity that this radio show has brought me.
	At the very least, I'm a limited-use public figure, but even in that capacity, these defamation laws I'm still protected by them.
	It is a higher burden to prove that you were wronged when you are a public figure.
	But in this case, the law is clear.
	And just to get back to the nuts and bolts, when this article alleging that I was a leader of the Ku Klux Klan was originally published, and believe me, folks, listen, I have been called all sorts of things in my career.
	I actually posted to the Twitter account of this radio show, and yours truly, I guess you could say.
	It's my personal account and the account of the show at James Edwards TPC on Twitter.
	Just before the show started tonight, I tweeted a picture of myself years ago on CNN and wish it has the caption.
	It was a still from the live program that night in which I was introduced, and it had my name and my title underneath the video of me.
	And it said James Edwards, Conservative Talk Radio Host.
	And as I mentioned, the adjectives used to describe me over the years have changed, but my position never has.
	And so, how one goes from a conservative talk radio host to a member of the Ku Klux Klan, or excuse me, a leader of the Ku Klux Klan while holding the exact same position?
	Well, that's your establishment media.
	That's your lying press.
	Now, whether or not a three-judge panel on the appellate Supreme Court of the state of Michigan will uphold the rule of law, we'll find out.
	But the fact of the matter remains, when that article was published, neither the writer nor anyone with the Detroit News contacted me prior to the publication of that article to confirm that, in fact, I was a leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
	And it appears that they published it to attack through juvenile guilt by association tactics Donald Trump's candidacy for president.
	That's yellow journalism, plain and simple, since the journalist, so-called, and the newspaper, so-called, sensationally fabricated their claim about me without any basis whatsoever.
	And now I'd like to go back to the tort that I was attempting to describe to you in the first segment.
	The restatement of torts provides an example of what constitutes defamation.
	And it is, and I quote, an allegation of membership in the Ku Klux Klan is defamatory.
	That is textbook case law on what would constitute an example of clear-cut defamation.
	A false charge of membership in the Ku Klux Klan is defamation per se.
	And that's exactly.
	No, they didn't even call me that.
	They called me a leader, not just a member, but the leader of members.
	So in the instant case, if that doesn't rise to the level, what would?
	And that, listen, that's why I think this case is so important.
	Does rule of law, that's the law talking.
	Clear-cut.
	It couldn't be more clear.
	That's why we filed the lawsuit.
	Now, listen, I don't agree that I'm a neo-Nazi or white supremacist or any of these other things that a million publications have called me, but that's rhetorical hyperbole.
	And there's a difference between rhetorical hyperbole or opinion versus clear-cut defamation.
	This is clear-cut defamation.
	And the defendants falsely accused me of being a leader of the Ku Klux Klan, which is, again, pretty much the textbook defamation of defamation as far as the American Law Institute, which publishes the restatement of torts, is concerned.
	So needless to say, Michigan courts find the restatement of torts to be extremely persuasive.
	That the defendants were improperly trying to conflate being a racist or white supremacist in their terms, which are, of course, offensive hyperbole smears for people of a right-of-center political persuasion with membership or leadership in the Ku Klux Klan, which is neither opinion nor rhetorical hyperbole, since it is easily, factually determinable.
	The defendants are not being sued for calling me a racist or a white supremacist.
	Rather, they're being sued for alleging that I am actively involved as a member in the Ku Klux Klan.
	More than alleging, stating it as a fact in one of the biggest newspapers in the country.
	Describing me as a racist or a white supremacist, although untrue is constitutionally permissible.
	But defendants crossed the Rubicon of constitutionally protection, of constitutional protection when they stated as a fact, without any due diligence, that I am a leader, a member, or otherwise associated with the Ku Klux Klan.
	So that's where we are.
	And inexplicably, we lost on the lower court level.
	Can you believe it?
	That gives credence to Keith Alexander and Sam Dixon and so many other people who said, don't fight it, James.
	Just take it.
	Well, I'll tell you why I can't take it, because if there was anybody out there who was doing the job as good as I do it or as good as I think I do it, I would fall in line behind them.
	There are a lot of people out there that do great work.
	God knows, and we feature them on this program.
	Donald Trump should be backing my lawsuit because he was specifically stated in this article.
	In fact, it was because of the credentialing that the Trump administration gave me or the Trump campaign at the time gave me and the subsequent interview that Don Jr. with Don Jr. that was broadcast on Sam Bushman's show that I participated in that prompted this article.
	Donald Trump should be behind me on this.
	But there are a lot of people out there that do great work.
	And there are a lot of people out there that do work that I can't do.
	But there's a lot of work that we do that nobody else has been able to do.
	And that includes getting the ear of the Trump administration, the Trump campaign, I should say.
	Interviewing Donald Trump Jr.
	Do you think there's anybody else besides Sam Bushman and this radio network that could have gotten Donald Trump Jr.?
	Do you think there's anybody else besides this radio program and yours truly who could have gotten those credentials to go to the Trump rally?
	We were there at the Republican National Convention.
	We were there not just at the inauguration, but front row at the inauguration.
	Front row to the inauguration of the President of the United States front row.
	The political cesspool provides things for this movement, credibility, legitimacy for this movement, that nobody else has been able to do.
	That's just a fact.
	That's why we need your support.
	That's why we count on your support.
	That's why you support us.
	But with regards to this lawsuit, that's why we fight.
	Because my name is not just my name.
	My name is your name because I'm your proxy out there fighting for our heartfelt opinions and beliefs.
	But my name is not just my name.
	It is the name of my father.
	It is the name of my son.
	It's the name of my grandfather and my ancestors going back to those brave and gallant ones who fought on behalf of the Confederate States of America.
	My name is more than my name, and that's why I'll fight for my name.
	And I'll fight for my name, even though it costs me money to file this lawsuit is not free.
	I have to think that God's hand's in this.
	The fact that this happened in Michigan and Kyle Bristow is licensed to practice in Michigan, I think it was meant to be.
	Even if we lose, it was meant to be.
	And we got to take a break when we come back, Jared Taylor.
	Another hour of the political cesspool is in the can, but don't go away.
