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.
I was so likely in or else I'll be down your goal and two strangers who have been to show what's on the shade.
Set to my shoe.
You're on.
Runs down to your house with wings.
On my feet, loved you like I never loved.
You're my sweet bow that you and I would be to show what's on the shade of others.
To show what's on the shade.
We like happy endings.
We like happy endings that we keep.
So we played the first half of that song at the top of the first hour.
And in the first couple of verses, the lovelorn Peter Noon goes, he's in love with the wrong house.
He doesn't know it's the house at the time, of course.
But he sees the two silhouettes and they're dancing.
And he gets jealous and he goes, knocks on the door.
And then he finds out that he's on the wrong block and this was not his girlfriend's house.
So he goes to his girlfriend's house.
And they live happily ever after.
That's it.
Well, see, let me tell you, I know that nobody can replace Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons as your favorite musical group, but would it be fair to say that Peter Noon and Herman's Hermits are your second favorite?
Well, you know, there's so many good ones.
They're up there, that's for sure.
In fact, Peter Noon and Herman's Hermits were the only oldies act that I'd always wanted to see that I had never seen until this year.
And I finally got a chance to see them live.
Did you go up and speak to Peter Noon?
Well, I can't, we can't talk about that.
Okay.
All right.
But there's so many great ones out there from the 60s.
I mean, who from the 60s wasn't great if they were on top 40 radio?
I mean, they were all good.
And it was just a better day.
It was a better time.
Certainly by the 60s, as you mentioned, Keith, things were on a decline.
I think the halcyon days, the apex of America was... May 16th, 1954, the day before Black Monday when the Brown decision came down.
That was it.
It's been a downhill.
And I say, I say, if we could go back and push reset and go back to 1950s, early 1950s America, how could it get any better than that?
I mean, you know, really, it couldn't.
But you know, the more that I look into it, the more I'm convinced that none of this would have taken place, none of this triumph of liberalism without Jewish power and influence.
Jewish power and influence is the yeast that makes the dough rise in every liberal movement.
And nothing would have happened.
Nothing would have come of black protest marches had it not been for Jewish media control and the way that they spun it to the rest of the world.
Well, we told the audience we'd talk about Trump DACA amnesty.
Let's first start this segment by reading a few passages from Buchanan's column, Pat Buchanan's column on the matter, a read-my-lips moment for Trump.
Here's what Pat writes.
Having cut a deal with Democrats for help with the debt ceiling, will Trump seek a deal with Democrats on amnesty for the so-called DREAMers in return for funding for border security?
Well, what good does it do to offer border security if you're going to let them all have amnesty anyway?
Anyway, Pat continues.
The answer to that question raised in my column a week ago is in.
President Donald Trump cut a deal with Chuck and Nancy for amnesty for 800,000 recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program who came here illegally in return for Democratic votes for more money for border security.
According to preening minority leader Nancy Pelosi, the agreement contains not a dime for Trump's wall, and the DREAMers are to be put on a long glide path to U.S. citizenship.
So Pat asks the rhetorical question: What does this mean for supporters of Trump?
Trump is risking a breach of the dam.
If the populists who provided him with decisive margins in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania feel betrayed, it's hard to blame them.
But why did Trump do it?
Clearly, Buchanan surmises he relished the cheers he got for the debt ceiling deal and wanted another such victory.
And with the rampant accusations of a lack of so-called compassion for his cancellation of the temporary Obama administration amnesty, he decided he had had enough heat.
It's not easy to stand up to the long gale force winds of hostile commentary that blow constantly through the city of Washington, D.C. Is it that simple, Keith?
I would say it very well could be.
I think it takes a man to stand up to constant harassment, constant attacks.
We have done it for 13 years.
Trump had never been in that position before last year.
I think it could be that simple.
But is this the end of the Trump train?
Is this the end of the support of decent Americans for the president?
Well, let me break it down into, let me answer your first question first.
Is that an accurate description of what is happening to Trump?
In a way, it is.
On one superficial level, it is.
Trump is a celebrity.
He likes being a celebrity.
You like being a celebrity not because you love to be hated.
He's not gorgeous George the wrestler back in the 50s who loved to be booed or whatnot.
He wants adulation.
And with Jews in charge of the media, he's never going to hear any cheers or adulation for doing something that Jewish power and influence does not want.
Jewish power and influence is globalist in its instincts and wants the white majority in America to become a minority in America as soon as possible.
And then they can be dispensed with.
So, yes, that's right.
That's one thing.
The other thing is that he has basically allowed the Jews in his inner circle to run off almost all of the Gentile nationalists and populace that were really responsible for getting him elected.
People like Steve Bannon, people like Corey Lewandowski, and others.
And what he has been left with is a Jewish all-star team around him.
As I've said, the White House staff and the cabinet have more Jews than the Knesset, which is the Jewish legislature in the state of Israel.
Now, that is the problem.
He is not, he still makes comments that indicate that he has nationalist and populist instincts.
The problem is with this inner cabal of Jews, none of this ever gets passed into law or becomes a real action.
He still says, for example, that both sides were violent at Charlottesville, despite the fact that he is castigated soundly for that every time he makes that comment.
And in spite of the fact that just a couple of days ago, he signed this asinine decree condemning so-called white nationalists.
And I use so-called a lot in this show because that's what they're calling the alt-right.
It's the so-called alt-right.
So, so-called, so-called, we'll call you so-called also.
And they even say, well, in fact, yeah, just recently, a very prominent columnist for a very major publication said Donald was not only a white nationalist, but in fact, a white supremacist.
That this is, I can't believe that he can't be smart enough to realize that all of these adversarial positions are coming from the Jewish camp.
Who is this?
Oh, this is the one that's going to be a little bit of a shannon.
Dale Shannon, when Dale Shannon starts playing, We Stop Talking.
Much more on this this day.
She deferred a better man.
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.

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, dear Christine, I wanted to write and tell you some exciting news.
What, um, what are you doing?
Oh, hi.
I'm writing Christine a letter to tell her about Emily's first tooth.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, it's a mom thing.
I'll get her.
I don't have the words to thank you for having the courage to give us our most precious gift.
We can only thank you by raising her the way you'd always hoped.
How'd you get her to sleep so fast?
It's a dad thing.
Honey, will you tell her thanks from me?
Of course I will.
Adoption.
It's about love.
A message from LDS Family Services.
Many of you have heard me talk about my vigor score.
You say, Sam, what on earth is all this vigor stuff about?
Well, vigor is defined as zest for life.
Your strength in body and mind, your energy levels.
It's kind of all wrapped into a term called vigor.
Would you like to improve your vigor score?
Well, you got to first take the free test.
Get a hold of Kurt, C-U-R-T, at LibertyRoundtable.com or call Kurt Cosby at 801-669-2211.
I took the test, got a 13 out of 32.
Horrible, huh?
But I worked on it with Kurt with some natural help and healing.
And before you know it, now I've got an astounding 29 out of 32 on the vigor score.
Can you tell by the way I talk?
Oh, yes, my zest for life has never been better.
Get a hold of Kurt Cosby.
That's 801-669-2211.
And take your free vigor test today, and you can learn where you stand.
And then you can work on improving it and take the test again.
And oh, compare the results.
You will be delighted.
Get a hold of Kurt Grosby, Kurt, C-U-R-T, at LibertyRoundTable.com, or 801-669-2211 for your free VigorScore test today.
Searching, searching, every night and day.

And now, back to tonight's show.
Pat Buchanan also writes in his most recent column: if amnesty is granted for the 800,000, that will be but the first wave.
There are no reasons, excuse me, there are reasons.
No country has a rule that if you sneak in as a minor, you're a citizen, writes Mickey Kaus, author of The End of Equality in The Washington Post.
We'd be inviting the world, and amnesty would have a knock-on effect.
Under chain migration rules established in 1965, same years as Silhouettes by Herman Servitz, new citizens can bring in their siblings and adult children who can bring in their siblings until the whole village has moved into the United States.
Today's 690,000 dreamers would quickly become millions of newcomers who may well be low-skilled, but who would almost certainly include the parents who brought them, the ones who are in theory at fault.
Well, that's a point I really wanted to make before we had the break.
If you let all the dreamers in, first of all, he's falling in line with what Ronald Reagan.
So-called dreamers.
I mean, that was an Obama term.
These are lawbreakers.
I don't care how old they are.
Well, the children weren't the lawbreakers, but are you also going to suspend the family reunification provisions of the immigration law, which gives preference?
If you let these so-called dreamers, these young children that came in before they were of the age of consent and grew up in America, once you make them citizens, put them on the fast track to citizenship, then they can bring in the real wrongdoers, their parents that snuck them into the nation in the first part, and they would ultimately benefit from this so-called DACA amnesty that they're talking about.
So there's no way to separate this omelet.
All right, well, Keith's going to pause right there.
We're going to do something we don't typically do, but sometimes we occasionally get the itch to take a caller.
And we appreciate all the callers who try to get in.
But we got Stan from Washington State.
That's a long way away, Keith.
Stan, you're on the air.
Yeah, I appreciate you guys being on the air, and I do send you money.
Thank you very much.
James, for the first time back in 2003 at the Euro conference when you first.
I remember it.
Yeah, that was a great event.
You've come a long way, man.
You're doing a great job.
Thanks for listening to part of this immigration stuff.
What I suggest is that we ship the Statue of Liberty to Tel Aviv Harbor and turn that torch into something that can really be seen from a long distance so that Israel can become more diverse.
I don't know if either one of you has seen the over Horace the Avenger and his anti-racist Adolph.
Adolf comes back as a multiculturalist and goes to Israel and says there's too many Jews here.
So Emma Lazarus' inscription, the New Colossus, which is on the Statue of Liberty, says, give me your wretched refuse.
Poor your huddled masses, your wretched refuse, longing to be free.
Well, and people quote that poem who was written by a Jewish police.
Emma Lazarus, as if it were official American governmental policy.
It was appended to the Statue of Liberty in 1903.
The Statue of Liberty was installed decades before then.
So that was a gloss that was put on.
So what I say is, let's let Israel, who is a light unto all nations, let them have some diversity because, you know, they're too kosher.
Their problem is they are just too kosher.
So, you know, I think it's always good, even if it's in satire, to illuminate people by making a joke.
But I think it would be a great thing.
Do you know what the nickname?
Look it up on Wikipedia.
What the nickname for Tel Aviv is?
Enlightenment.
It's a white city.
Now, we can't have a white city in the Middle East.
Well, you know, Stan, the reason Jews are always agitating for social change in every nation in the so-called diaspora, where they are a minority, is just like I pointed out about Alana Mercer on our program some years ago.
Her family was at the forefront of the anti-apartheid movement and was largely responsible along with other Jews in South Africa for getting that passed.
Well, once it was passed and became the law and they saw what a terrible thing it was, what did they do?
They hopped on the first flight for Tel Aviv because Jews from all over the world are welcome to come to Israel anytime they please.
They have the get out of jail free card.
Meanwhile, the poor witless Goram white Gentiles that are left in places like South Africa have no place to go and nowhere to hide.
Well, and we've also said that we love Israel's domestic policy.
We love the way Israel does business with regards to diversity in their own country.
We want a little bit of that for ours, and that's been something we've done.
Well, here's where I think we need to go, folks, because I used to be, I was involved in the anti-war movement.
And in fact, I was a member of the Young Socialist Alliance, and I was a Trotskyist until I was shot in the face in East Oakland by a black teenager who asked me, do you want some more white boy?
So I learned who I was a long time ago, and I shed my leftist beliefs.
But I think we need to start using the language of the left.
Where is our European American caucus in any state, any state legislature in the United States Congress?
Well, I agree with you.
The thing is, identity politics are here to stay.
There is no retreating into colorblindness.
This is the basic problem that conservative-oriented white people make.
Colorblindness is like fighting the culture war with one arm tied behind your back.
You cannot be a success in it, in fighting liberalism, as long as you cleave to colorblindness.
I believe, guys, that the way to go, and we've already done it, whether it's been officially recognized or not, is the mancott, not a boycott.
We're not boys.
We're men.
So we need to mancot Hollywood TV.
I gave up my TV service in March of 2013.
And as I say to some of my AA friends, I am clean and sober from TV and film.
And they are.
And I tell them.
Go ahead.
Stan, I tell them also, you know, when I hear a leftist chant at me, Black Lives Matter, I don't say Blue Lives Matter.
I don't say all lives matter.
The proper reply is white lives matter.
Do you agree?
Well, I agree, but you know, I also, which a lot of, I don't hear too many people talking about this, but I've done a lot of study on this.
Do you know who the original people of the Americas were?
The Salutrians.
Salutrians, yes.
The Salutrians.
They were here 18,000 years ago, and we were genocided by the people I like to refer to as tribes of Latter-day Settlers.
And you know what?
They're going to get us genocided too if we don't put a stop to this.
Exactly, so what I'm also...
Third world immigration.
I grew up in Texas, okay?
I know all about football, okay?
No white man should be caught dead at a football game.
Let the Latinos and the American Indians and the transsexuals and the Arabs and everybody else fill up those stands.
The white men need to stay friggin' home.
Get your damn football seasons.
Stan, I'll tell you this.
And out of the white churches, preach liberally.
I want to thank you for the call, Stan.
But, you know, and if white people stayed at home from college football Saturdays, there wouldn't be 5% of the crowd in those stands, and there'd be no money in it.
Well, all right.
Thank you for the call, Stan.
We're going to come back.
I'm going to give you my thoughts on Trump and DACA and Amnesty right after this.
Thank you, Stan.
Across the land.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
With Liberty News this hour, I'm Dennis Daly.
China's State Administration for Religious Affairs is issuing new guidelines regarding what it calls unapproved religious communities.
The regulations impose severe fines for persons associated with underground religious communities not authorized by the state, which have no legal standing.
Now, fines can be really large, up to 300,000 units of the local currency.
China's communist government fears that religious freedom is a threat to national security.
It is indeed a threat to closed thinking.
The president of the European Commission is calling on the EU to create a European Defense Union by 2025.
He called for the creation of an EU military, saying we need it and NATO wants it.
The EU is producing detailed plans for an army, including a centralized headquarters and a permanent cooperative defense pact.
During the lead up to Brexit, many anti-Brexit leaders dismiss the idea of an EU army.
One British politician said it's not going to happen.
It doesn't matter whether anybody wants it to happen or not.

I'm Michael Hill, president of the League of the South.
I and my compatriots are Southern nationalists.
We seek the survival, well-being, and independence of the Southern people, our people.
The League wants a South that enjoys the sweet fruits of Christian liberty and prosperity, but our current situation won't allow it.
We must have our independence from Washington, D.C. and the globalists.
The present system cannot be reformed.
Without independence, we will continue down this path of destruction.
To us, this is not acceptable.
I'm asking you, Southern man and woman, to join us today to free the South.
Call us at 256-757-6789 or see our website at www.legueofthesouth.com.
God saved the South.
It's time to jump back into the political cesspool.

All right, where do I, what are my thoughts on Trump, DACA, amnesty, etc.?
Well, first, let's go to Hope Hicks, who has risen to be Trump's campaign spox, or rather the Trump administration.
I forget about campaigns.
Last woman standing, I guess.
Hope Hicks says Trump will not be discussing amnesty, but will discuss legal citizenship over a period of time.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that's what we call double speak, boys and girls.
Orwellian double speak.
And all right, so Hope Hicks may sound familiar.
That name will be familiar to many longtime fans.
She denounced James.
That was her paid position, I think.
She denounced me on three separate occasions during the campaign, officially from the Trump campaign.
I don't think you can expect a blind date with her.
There was one time that she said she liked Sam Bushman, but she didn't like us.
Really?
Okay.
I'll tell you about that.
I'll tell you what, what a slab in the face.
Anyway, let's go back to TPC's chronological relationship vis-a-vis the media with Trump.
First of all, let's just say that the man who is president was not the man who was campaigning last year.
Let's be clear on that.
So when Trump descended the golden escalator, we were very skeptical, but we were willing to listen.
I certainly remembered the way Trump treated the Buchanan campaign of 2000 for which I worked.
Trump called Pat a Nazi and all of the other things that you would expect an establishment figure to call a manly man like Pat.
But, you know, so what?
That was 2000.
This was 2016.
Maybe people have changed.
Maybe people have seen the light, even though that's very rare for people to change at that age.
We give Trump a hearing.
Well, of course, candidate Trump spoke our language on any number of issues.
We got press credentials even to go to the Trump campaign rally.
And Pat Buchanan buried the hatchet and became a very strong supporter.
That's right.
So I was willing to do the same.
And then, of course, not only did we get press credentials to go to the rally and broadcast TPC live at a Trump event, there we were at the Republican National Convention and even later at the inauguration, not just at the inauguration, but front row at the inauguration.
So even though they denounced us intermittently throughout the campaign, I was willing to listen to what he was saying.
And I thought that what he was saying could be true because, as we've mentioned several times, he was not a candidate who was beholden to any special interest because he was a self-made billionaire.
And much more than that, he had the celebrity of international name recognition.
He was an international celebrity.
He was known to everyone.
He was someone who had the money that it didn't have to be bought and paid for by special interest.
And he was doing all of this at seemingly his personal expense.
He was losing his Hollywood cred, his celebrity cred to speak the language of a populace.
So I thought Trump certainly could be legitimate.
And for that reason, we supported him.
I don't regret anything that we did in 2016 in support of Donald Trump.
Absolutely not.
And he's still the best.
Absolutely.
Let me get to that very quickly, and then I'll toss it back to you, Keith.
No doubt about it.
If even now on September, what is today, the 16th?
Yes.
September 16th, 2017, would I do it all over again?
I would.
Certainly without the benefit of hindsight.
But even now, is he better than Hillary?
It's hard to argue he would be worse.
Is he better than George W. Bush?
Hard to argue he would be worse.
And so would I do it all again, even though he denounced us while he flirted with us, even though we were in the middle of the news cycle every day last year as a result of our support of Trump, I would do it all over again.
Even now.
Even now I would, because the alternative is Hillary or a Mitt Romney or a John McCain type.
So let me just say this.
I know there's some people out there burning Trump hats, burning Trump.
I think that's emotional.
I think it's a bad look.
I think it's reactionary.
Trump, the candidate, was someone worthy of our support.
His high watermark was on election night.
Then came the appointments.
All of those appointments were bad.
Most of them were bad.
And we had a front row at the inauguration.
And I was one of the very few in the alt-right, maybe the only one, who confidently predicted as early as January 2016 that Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States.
I never once waffled on that prediction.
In my Amerin speech, which was caught on film, you can watch it online.
My speech at American Renaissance in the spring of 2016, I referred to Donald Trump Jr.
You all remember our relationship with him.
I refer to Donald Trump Jr. as a member of the next first family.
That was in the spring of 2016.
It's all right there, folks.
And those were fun times.
Is Trump better than Hillary?
Sure.
He's nowhere close to what we would hope he would have been.
He's nowhere close to candidate Trump.
And even though his presidency has certainly been underwhelming, and we've seen the recent proclamation that he made that no other president would have done, saying that the Confederate monuments were beautiful and they should be preserved, followed up only by this deal that seemingly indicates that he's going to give amnesty in return for nothing.
In return for what he says is funding for border security that doesn't include the wall.
Well, why even build a wall if you're going to give him all amnesty?
He says it's going to be border security that will fund the rebuilding of existing walls.
Well, those existing walls obviously aren't doing very much.
And then, of course, this week he signed a condemnation of the so-called white nationalists.
I mean, even as president, Trump has been very underwhelming.
He does some things that we think breathe life into our support of him from 2016, and now it's at a very low point.
Where will it be next month?
Who's to say with this guy?
What I would say is very soberly and dispassionately, don't go out and burn stuff.
Don't allow anything to make you react emotionally.
Just be even killed.
Be steady as we blow here in the political cesspool, dependable.
I would say be thankful for whatever he does that is better than what you would have gotten out of Hillary or Mitt Romney or John McCain.
You know what that is.
And then we're on the situations where he's wrong, and he's wrong on DACA.
He is wrong on DACA.
He's wrong on this signature on the so-called white nationalist denunciation.
Hold him accountable and oppose that publicly.
And that's what we're doing here.
Well, let's just get right down to brass tags.
It is disappointing that despite the fact that he grew up in the hotbed of Jewish power and influence, New York, he is not Jew-wise.
He doesn't seem to understand that all of these Jews that he has surrounding him now in positions of power and influence like Gary Cohn, Steve Munchkin, Jared Kushner, with the exception of Jared Kushner, almost all these people were never Trumpers at one point or another during his campaign.
And they do their dead level best to blunt any type of populist or nationalist impulses that Donald Trump has.
On the other hand, Donald Trump is unpredictable enough that he's liable to turn around and fire all of these people any day and replace them with people like Steve Bannon or, heaven forbid, people like us.
So you never know what Donald Trump is going to do.
And that allows hope to burn eternal or to remain burning in our hearts that somehow he will turn around and do the right thing.
On the other hand, we wouldn't even get the stray comments that we get from Donald Trump on populism and nationalism from anyone else.
Mitt Romney, John McCain, think of how terrible it would be if we had people like that.
What if Jeb Bush had won the Republican nomination?
The fact that Donald Trump is in there just highlights how far the establishment is at variance with the opinions of the majority of the American electorate, with the American people.
The American people have spoken, and I don't think American politics will ever be the same.
There has been a demonstration through Trump's presidency of the power of nationalist, populist sentiments in America, and the people want this.
We at the political cesspool hope to bring people out of their stupor.
We need to have conservatives that are not afraid to identify as white people.
We have got to drop this colorblindness theme.
It is a position of weakness.
It draws nothing but contempt from our opponents.
We also need to be stronger.
We need to be the yeoman farmers that Jefferson was talking about.
We need to be economically independent.
Strive for economic independence for yourself and for your children so that you can own your own opinions.
And then we can start clearly crafting a public policy based on the best interests of our people.
And we can elect people that think like us, and we reject all other types of leadership, James.
That's all that what has happened is that basically the cat has been let out of the bag.
And, You know, we know that if we don't do anything to really change the course of things, America will be broke.
And like Humpty Duckney, all the King's horses and all the King's men will never put America back together again unless we stop the decline now.
All right, stay tuned.
We got one more segment on this, and then the third hour is still forthcoming.
We'll be right back.
Let's hang on and come back to the political sesh pool right after these messages here on the Liberty News Radio Network.

All right, everybody, and we're back.
So what is your thought, audience?
Your thought on Trump.
Your thought on where we stand now.
Again, the opinions of even this crew is diverse.
I think you would find some people on even the staff of the political cesspool who have basically written Trump off as someone who is going to be a person, a president who will realize the hopes and anticipations that we had for him as traditional Americans.
And you'll have people like Keith who take a not necessarily more moderate stance, but a stance that, well, I guess it's more measured.
And maybe I'm somewhere in the middle of that.
I think I pretty much laid out my take on it in the last segment is that is he better than Hillary?
Is he better than McCain?
Is he better than Romney?
I think the answer is yes.
And so for that reason, that was the reason that we supported him.
Now, this is coming from a man who never voted for a Republican nominee before Donald Trump.
Always voted conservative, populist, third party.
From Pat Buchanan, of course, to Michael Perudka, Chuck Baldwin, and then Merlin Miller and Virginia Abernathy with the American Freedom Party all the way up to Trump.
I don't think I had any illusions as to what Trump was or what he could be.
I had hopes.
I certainly hoped he would be the president or would rather be a president that could match up to the rhetoric given by candidate Trump.
I thought, I hope that President Trump could somehow match candidate Trump.
And so far, I guess you could say there have been a few things here we can point to that say, you know, that's why we voted for him.
That moment when he defended the Confederate monuments, that was a moment in which I could point to and say that's why we support him.
In fact, I said exactly that here on this program, even though Hope Hicks, who has now ascended to, I guess, one of his top-level spokespersons in the White House, even though the denunciations and Donald Trump Jr. throwing under the son of the bus and acting as though he had no idea what was going on, all of that stuff, we remember all of that.
But then there we were still at the rallies and at the convention and at the inauguration.
Anyway, all of that, we take it all.
We put it all into the blender, and that's where we are.
And so now here we are with the presidency.
Not good.
It's not a good look.
It didn't live up to the hope.
It didn't live up to the hype.
He let himself down.
He is the one who fell far short of the promises.
You go back and you look at that 100-day, the first 100 days, or maybe it was his real agenda.
You know, who's to say?
Maybe he was always part of the establishment.
But all we can do is base our vote on what we expect and then go from there.
He certainly wouldn't have been the first candidate who's ever lied to us.
And the thing that I thought, and this wasn't our first rodeo either, the things that set Trump apart, as I stated just a few minutes ago, were the fact that he was a billionaire, so he didn't have to rely on special interest money funding his campaign.
The fact that he was speaking our language when it seemingly benefited him nothing at all to do so, that spoke loudly.
And of course, the fact that he had international name recognition as a result of being a celebrity.
You got the celebrity, you've got the money, and you've got the message.
That's a hell of a candidate.
And it's a once-in-a-lifetime, if not a once-in-a-civilization candidate.
And so we supported him.
And I would have done it again if I had it to do over.
I would probably do it again if I had it to do over, even knowing what I know now.
Certainly, if I didn't have the benefit of hindsight and the benefit of Monday morning quarterbacking, I think I would have certainly done it over again.
I did it the first time, and I'm a person who makes reasoned decisions.
But this whole thing with amnesty, would Hillary Clinton have done the same?
Would she have done worse?
I mean, the answer is yes.
So whatever you can get from Trump that you wouldn't have gotten from Hillary, Romney, or McCain is a net gain.
Is it something that's going to turn the tide?
Increasingly, it's looking like Trump is not someone who's going to turn the tide.
He may be at best, as I think it was put earlier this program, a delaying action.
A delaying action.
Is that better than let the bad times roll, which is Sam Dixon's mantra?
Well, you be the judge.
You tell me.
I do think, though, even now, less than a year into the first, less than a year into the first year of his administration, it's probably premature to throw in the towel.
And there's, of course, people on the other side, too, the alt-light, who can find no fault in whatever Trump does.
There's nothing Trump has ever done that they can find fault with.
So you've got people on that side of the spectrum.
You've got people on the other side who voted for him.
People who may listen to this show that said he's a completely lost cause.
We were fooled and we won't be fooled again.
That's the other side of the spectrum.
I may be somewhere in the middle of that.
If I were to vote again, would I vote for Trump?
Has he given me enough, if the first eight months or so was all the time he had to show me whether or not he was worthy of my vote?
Would I give him another vote if Election Day were tomorrow?
No, I would probably vote for protest.
I would vote in principle for a conservative third party like I have always done throughout my life until Donald Trump.
I don't think he's given me enough to win my vote back.
I think the hope of what Trump could be certainly was enough to earn my vote and I would give it to him again if it was November of 2016.
But now, maybe not.
Probably not.
But I do think still, and I'll reiterate that it is a little short-sighted to allow ourselves to get so enraptured with the news of the day that we Go on camera and we burn Trump hats and we do these other things that we've seen people doing.
Not that those people are wrong to be upset with Trump.
Certainly they are right and we should let that dissatisfaction be known.
And the fact that this DACA news comes on top of the news that Trump has signed this silly thing denouncing so-called white nationalists and who is even calling that?
I mean, are we a white nationalist or is everybody who doesn't hate themselves white nationalists?
I mean, what's a white nationalist?
Is it what the ADL determines a white nationalist to be?
I mean, what is racism?
Is racism anything a white person does that a black person doesn't like?
Is a racist to white person by default, no matter what they believe?
I mean, it's a gray area there.
So it's not been a good week for Trump's base.
And if Trump does, I will tell you this.
I mean, what is he thinking?
Let's just forget all of that, all that be aside.
What is he thinking?
Let's just say that he does, in fact, give amnesty to however many hundreds of thousands of dreamers, if you can call them that.
You can call an illegal alien whatever you want them to call, whatever you want to call them.
They're still illegal aliens.
I agree the children had nothing to do with the fact their parents chose to break the law and come here and give birth here, thinking that they could rape the benefits of a benevolent America.
And if white nations were so racist, why would we even give these people the benefits they get for breaking our law anyway?
But that's a whole nother story.
And I agree that these children, I mean, didn't have anything to do with it.
But guess what?
These children grow up.
Every time there's a situation on the news involving deportations or illegal aliens, it's always some downtrodden, shoeless mother or a kid, a snot-nosed kid with ratted clothes.
I mean, that's not the way it is.
These people grow up.
And none of these people, very few, I would say, I would say probably less than 10% will grow up and vote Republican and vote for GOP.
So why in the world would he want to give these people amnesty if he knows it's the death knell of his reelection hopes and certainly the death knell of the Republican Party going forward?
You could say it's because he's not a Republican at all.
Well, it's getting harder to refuse that.
I know a lot of people aren't ready to accept that yet.
And there's some things that Trump still may do.
Hey, it could be a totally different story next week.
Next month, he could turn it all around.
Who knows what he's going to do?
That's why it's Donald Trump.
That's part of the allure.
He's a maverick.
I mean, seemingly.
But ultimately, if he is not, if he does give this amnesty, none of these people who get the amnesty are going to vote Republican.
And that's the death knell of the Republican Party.
So whether or not that's his intention or if that's something he's doing in order to curry favor with the media and avoid being called names, then, well, we'll find out.
Bottom line is, just wait and see.
Take it week by week.
That's all we can do.
Be sober, be even-tempered, and we'll just keep on trucking.
We'll be back right after this.
Of the political cesspool is in the can, but don't go away.
