You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil, fighting for our liberty with treasure, blood, and toil.
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far.
Hurrah for the bonny blue flag that bears a single star.
Hurrah, hurrah, for southern answer.
As long as the union will tune her trust, like friends and just.
But now when northern treachery attempts our rights tomorrow we'll hoist on high the bonny blue flag that bears a single star.
Hurrah, hurrah, for southern antsera.
Hurrah for the bonny blue flag.
It bears a single star.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to tonight's live broadcast of TPC.
And Confederate History Month continues this Saturday evening, April 14th, with Dr. Michael Hill, President of the League of the South.
Dr. Hill is a retired university professor of history and author of two books on Celtic warfare.
Michael, great to have you back with us tonight.
Hi, James.
Always good to be with you, my friend.
I appreciate you having me on again.
It seems like we do this every April.
I love it.
We certainly do.
And I was, in fact, just about to mention that.
This is your annual Confederate History Month appearance, but thankfully you are with us throughout the year above and beyond this particular month.
But it's interesting.
The history of the Southern people, of course, predates the Confederacy.
It even predates our landing in North America.
It goes back to Britannia.
It goes back to the Celts and even before that.
Because, of course, our people did come from those windswept isles in Northern Europe and Scotland and in Ireland.
And so with you being a retired university professor of history and those two books on Celtic warfare, I would imagine that the name Boudica rings a bell to you, does it not, Dr. Hill?
Oh, yes, absolutely.
That great warrioress of the Britons.
Yeah, that's one of our, she's kind of like the Joan of Arc of the British Isles.
Great story.
Great warrior.
Indeed.
Well, give us a 30 seconds, and I'll tell you why.
I'm about to get to why I asked you about this.
Give us just a very quick snapshot on Boudica, 30 seconds or less, and how our people descended from that line, from that stock, all the way down to what would eventually become the Confederacy.
Well, she was the queen of the Britons, the Celtic peoples who were there in the British Isles when the Romans showed up.
And she was a queen, and she raised a very large army and fought the Romans successfully at first, but obviously Rome was hard to beat.
And eventually she was defeated and perished.
But, you know, that's the fighting spirit of our people, you know, male and female both.
You know, we have these wonderful, wonderful Celtic slash Aryan women, Aryan, what I call Aryan goddesses.
You know, she's certainly one of them.
But yeah, we descend from a fighting people on, you know, from both sexes.
And I'm very proud of that.
And our people, you know, were driven back into the areas of the British Isles that we most associate with the Celts, Wales and Brittany and Scotland and Ireland.
And from there, we came to North America eventually.
But we're the same blood, and we're one of those great families of Northern Europe that make up the white race.
And I'm just so proud to be descended of people like that.
It's a God-given blessing, James.
And we celebrate it this month every year in the particular form of the Confederacy.
But that is merely another manifestation of who our people have been over the centuries.
I couldn't have scripted a better answer, Michael, to that question.
You nailed it, brother.
And I'll tell you why I asked that.
Because, of course, this is an extension of who we are and who we are.
It goes back many thousands of years, and it continues.
But that same blood, that same spirit that animated Boudica, that animated our southern hero, still animates real men today in the South.
But there is someone that we call, we don't know her name, but we refer to her as the Southern Boudica.
And since this is Confederate History Month, I'd like to read this letter.
On June 3rd, 1864, Robert Audrey of Company B, the 111th Illinois Infantry, mailed a letter to his father.
Now, this is a Yankee mailing a letter to his father describing some recent action that his unit had seen.
And this is what he writes, Dr. Hill.
Listen to this.
Dear father, I take pen in hand to let you know that I'm well.
We're encamped near Dallas, Georgia, where we found the enemy in force on the 26th.
The 111th was in the front line of the breastworks, and we drew hot fire from the Rebs until about 4 o'clock when the enemy viciously charged our works.
We poured hot fire into their ranks, and several times their lines broke.
But they rallied again and came on with guns blazing and flags waving.
They fought like demons.
I saw three or four dead rebel women in the heaps of bodies.
All had been shot down during the final rebel charge upon our works.
One Secess woman charged within several rods of our works, raving the traitor flag and screaming vulgarities at us.
She was shot three times, but still she came.
She was finally killed by two shots fired almost simultaneously by our boys.
Then another she-devil shot her way to our breastworks with two large revolvers, dealing death to all in her path.
She was shot several times with no apparent effect.
When she ran out of ammunition, she pulled out the largest pig sticker I ever saw.
It must have been 18 inches in the blade.
When the corporal tried to shoot her, she kicked him in the face, smashing it quite severely.
Then she stabbed three boys and was about to decapitate a fourth when the lieutenant killed her.
Without a doubt, this gal inflicted more damage to our line than any other Reb.
If Bobby Lee were to field a brigade of such fighters, I think that the Union prospects would be very gloomy indeed, for it would be hard to equal their ferocity and pluck.
Your devoted son, Robert Altry, 111th Illinois Regimental Volunteers.
Dr. Neil, the spit.
Wow.
Wow, we got some women like that in the League of the South, I'm proud to say.
I am proud to say.
Man, that is quite a testimony, isn't it, to the ferocity, not only of our men, but of our women folk as well.
And, you know, I've said all along that when the South, not if, but when the South is able to reassert itself and become a nation once again, it's going to be because our men and women learned how to work together and strive and sacrifice to make this happen.
And it's such a good thing to me to be developing this camaraderie among our particular family in the league and to see this kind of thing.
But yeah, that's a great salute to our women then.
And I'm proud to say it's carried forward to today.
And all the way, you know, it goes all the way back to Boudica.
So, God bless our women.
Absolutely, man.
Well, I thought that's a story we've shared before in previous installments of our Confederate History Month series, but I thought with you particularly tonight, I don't know if we've covered that.
That's a letter that we became aware of: a little piece of obscure Confederate history, even though it was written by a Union soldier.
And with your past as a university professor of history and the author of books on the Celts, I thought you would appreciate it.
But the point is that that spirit, that spirit is still alive in the South today.
It is in our blood.
We are genetically predisposed to have that fighting spirit.
It existed during the time of Boudicca.
It existed during the time of this unnamed woman as she fought to defend her family and her land, and it exists today in the hearts and minds of real Southerners.
And we'll be back with Michael Hill.
We're just getting started tonight.
stay tuned.
As the United States boldly stepped forward in the glorious light provided by its new constitution in 1787, the nations of the earth were in awe of the newfound strength and hope of this free land.
Today, the nation stands at a crossroads.
A divergence from the original intent put forth in the United States Constitution has brought grave threats to our beloved nation.
A miracle is needed if the United States is to survive.
That miracle is again the pure application of the United States Constitution.
I'm Scott Bradley.
In my To Preserve the Nation book and lecture series, I bring forth truths that will help raise up a new generation of statesmen like those noble Americans who founded this land.
Vigorous application of these principles will invigorate and restore the nation, and we may become again the freest, most prosperous, most respected, and happiest nation on earth.
Visit topreservethenation.com to begin that restoration.
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 somebody seals that gold?
We don't have any gold at the house.
It's stored safely in the UPMA vault, securely and insured.
But the SP 500 outperformed gold.
Daddy, gold is a bad investment.
Some people do think of it that way, but actually, gold is money.
And as members of the United Precious Metals Association, we can use our gold at any store, just like a credit card.
Or I can ask them to drop it right into Mommy and Daddy's bank account because we're a UPMA member family.

Welcome back, everybody.
James Edwards, the Political Session Radio Program, Dr. Michael Hill, our guest this evening.
Dr. Hill, I enjoyed reading that letter to you in the first segment.
I actually have, with your indulgence, and then in the second half of this interview, we have a rapid fire.
I have a lot of questions and a lot of material I want to cover with you.
But would you indulge me to read one more letter?
Absolutely, James.
You always pick really good stuff to read, my friend.
Go ahead.
Well, with regard to letters, this is one that I think will bring into sharp focus for you and the rest of our listening audience this evening just how far we've fallen since even the 1930s, well, after the war.
It's a letter.
It's a letter from the comptroller of the state of Florida that accompanied the Confederate Veterans Pension Check to the great grandmother of a listener of our show this evening.
So if everybody could follow that, who was by that time in December of 1933, a widow.
But this is what the letter reads.
Mrs. Sarah McGahey of Tampa, Florida.
Dear friend, I consider it quite fortunate on my part in being selected as the official charged with the responsibility of mailing you the enclosed pension check.
It is a rare privilege and a pleasure to forward you this token of appreciation of the great state of Florida.
I sincerely wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a surprisingly happy new year.
Personally, I feel the debt of gratitude owing you by the Commonwealth of this state cannot be estimated by material wealth and therefore cannot be composed by mere payment of money.
It is a liability that cannot be expressed in dollars, but it can be enshrined in the sacred archives of tradition.
And by teaching the seceding generations that by your actions, experience, and devotion to a sacred principle, you have proved that God does not force us into deep water to drown us, but to cleanse us.
And that adversity is the trial of principle without which one hardly knows whether or not he is honest, unless, like those of you who fought for the lost cause, he is sorely tried, smelted, polished, and glorified in the furnace of our tribulation.
If we remain true to our ideals and steadfast to our principles, as exemplified by those who followed the stars and bars, we are reminded that honor is likened to certain herbs and flowers.
They send forth their most delightful odors only after they have been crushed and broken.
Therefore, we should, all of us, profit from the experience and example of you brave souls who have conquered discouragement and despair and have, Phoenix-like, risen from the dead ashes of destitution and want to the heights of honor, peace, and tranquility.
Very sincerely, J.M. Lee, Comptroller State of Florida.
Dr. Hill, the eloquent language praising the ideals of the lost cause are words that would never pass the lips of a craven politician today.
The difference in the attitude of public officials between then and the 1930s and now is staggering and certainly for the worst.
So my question to you is, what happened to men like this J.M. Lee, the Comptroller of Florida?
State officials capable of writing letters such as that?
James, that was so eloquent, it almost brought tears to my eyes.
I got chills.
I got chills reading it.
Yeah, really, absolutely.
Just imagine a state official writing something like that to someone today.
I really can't imagine it.
Well, no, I mean, certainly.
And that wasn't that long.
I mean, certainly that was in the lifetime of even maybe some of our listeners this evening.
And, you know, James, I'm just, you know, I'm just taken aback by such language.
I mean, I tell you what's happened.
Modern men today, they've basically been socially and politically castrated.
And they've, you know, they've turned into, you know, like Capons, you know, roosters without their valuable parts.
They just don't have any guts.
You know, thank goodness for men like you who are willing to, you know, go, you know, on the air every week and tell the truth about these things and call people like this on the carpet, James, and say, hey, you know, you're all craven cowards.
You got none of the backbone that your ancestors had.
You've given in to, you know, all of the trends of the modern world and you've disgraced your name and you've disgraced your culture.
And this, you know, only, you know, only what, 70, 80 years ago, we still had people like this who had the eloquence and the character about them to write a letter like that.
I'm just floored by the eloquence of that.
It was just a beautiful, brilliant.
I mean, right, I mean, first of all, not only would today's contemporaries not have the honor to write something like that, they wouldn't even have the ability to write something like that.
I mean, could you imagine?
You couldn't even write that eloquently because, of course, everybody's just been dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, and that's a whole other topic.
But I would ask you this, Dr. Hill.
As we mentioned in the first hour, we are welcoming to the program tonight a brand new, another news station affiliate, and that is KYAH 540 a.m. Utah's Talk Authority.
It's a city just south of Salt Lake, and we spent some time for everyone listening on KYAH in Utah tonight.
We spent some time in the first hour reminding you about, or telling you, perhaps for the first time, who we are here at the Political Cesspool, a little bit about our history, a little bit about what we talk about and how you can learn more.
And so if you missed the first hour of tonight's show, go to our broadcast archives after the conclusion of this evening's broadcast, and you can revisit that at thepolitical cesspool.org.
But we went into a little bit about our history.
And I got an email, Dr. Hill, last week from a listener.
We were talking about Boudicca in our Celtic past in the first hour.
We had a listener last week tuned in from Northumbria.
Now, Northumbria, if you don't know, ladies and gentlemen, goes back, of course, to the Viking Age.
And even before that, it was a medieval kingdom in what is now northern England and southeastern Scotland, present-day Edinburgh, for example.
A lot of people in Northumbria.
Exactly.
But for listeners in Utah and in Northumbria and around the world who are tuned in tonight, my question to you is this.
What can they learn from Confederate History Month?
Or rather, what should they, why should they care about what we're talking about this evening?
Because this was the greatest, the greatest attempt by white men in the modern world to assert their identity in the face of a regime that was fast becoming hostile to every tradition that white men had developed and nurtured and cultivated over a period of a thousand years at least in Europe.
You know, this whole idea of the Celtic warrior, of the cavalier in Virginia, all of these things bundled together, James, were our great traditions, and they were traditions that were grounded firmly in the Greeks and Romans, in medieval Christianity, in all of these wonderful eras where the development of the white man and his civilization had been the epitome of development in the world.
And then you've got the modern regime, which came about with the French Revolution and the rise of Jewish power in the world, in the Western world, seeking to tear down these traditions of the white man.
And what this was in the war between the states, the war of northern aggression, was the white man asserting himself to preserve this sort of almost medieval type civilization, a very healthy Christian civilization that the modern world despises.
And Dr. Hilton, hold on right there.
I hate to interrupt, but our commercial breaks are a cruel master.
I'm going to repose that question to you so you can finish your answer as soon as we come back.

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 brood 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 all seller 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 results of alcohol.
A public service message from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

And cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout.
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out.
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given.
The single star of the bunny blue flag has grown to be a limit.
Hurrah, hurrah, for southern rights hurrah.
Hurrah for the bunny blue flag.
There's a single star Here's to our confederacy Strong we are and brave Like patriots of old, we'll fight our heritage to save.
And rather than submit to shame to die, we wouldn't prefer.
So cheer, cheer for that bunny blue flag.
It bears a single star.
Hurrah, hurrah for southern rights hurrah.
Hurrah for the bunny blue flag.
It bears a single star.
Hurrah, hurrah.
Well, welcome back, everybody.
What a beautiful and rousing song.
There is a lot of history in that song.
And we'll talk more about that in the next segment.
But first, Dr. Hill, here's how we're going to do the last half of our interview with you tonight, my friend, and that's going to be a rapid fire.
I've got a lot of questions and a lot of content to cover.
And so we're going to speed things up a bit.
But first, I want to repose the question I asked you just before the break.
You were in the midst of answering it when we had to take a quick timeout.
And the question was, why should listeners outside of the South and even in other parts of the world be tuned in this evening to our Confederate History Month series?
Well, I was almost finished.
Let me finish up here because we're an inspiration.
I'm not saying that with any boasting or bragging, but we are an inspiration.
You know, and I might say too that the James the Desert of Modernity is no place for heroes like you and me, my friend.
And I'm not just saying you and me just to exclude everybody else.
I'm talking about everybody who identifies with us as Southerners, the blood that goes back through the millennia and the blood that's going to go forward through the centuries to come in this glorious Southland that God is going to resurrect for our people.
We're going to get out of the desert, my friend, because that is no place for heroes like us to be.
And that's what these people in Northumbria and Utah can gather from this.
Be inspired by the story.
There's too little in the modern world to inspire men and women.
And if you can find an inspiration, you hook on to it and you don't let it go.
And you ride it, you ride it until you've made it a reality.
And that's what we're going to do.
We're going to regain the South, my friend, and we're going to do it for the memory of our ancestors and for the future of our children.
And we want to be an inspiration to the entire white world in doing this.
Watch us by the grace of God.
We'll get it done.
Ladies and gentlemen, what a fantastic answer by our guest this evening.
And if you want to be part of the solution, before our time with Dr. Michael Hill is up, before we move to the third and final hour with Gene Andrews as he wraps up his two-part series this evening on the life of Nathan Bedford Forrest, we're going to give you information on how you can be part of the solution, how you can join and support Dr. Hill's work with the League of the South, how you can become a member as I am, and all that's still forthcoming.
Now, Dr. Hill, last week our guest was Kirk Lyons, and I asked him a question.
I'm going to ask you the same question.
All right.
Outside of the heroes that are so well known, Forrest, Lee, Jackson, et cetera, give us a notable example of Confederate gallantry that our audience perhaps would not know.
A favorite hero that may be a little more obscure from the bigger names.
Kirk Lyons drew the H.L. Hunaway crew.
And my example was Confederate Scout D.S. Job, who had his eyes gouged out, his tongue cut out, and was dragged to death behind a galloping horse, but never revealed the position of the Confederate troops in his area.
So those were the two examples given last week.
What would be yours?
An example of Confederate gallantry, a favorite hero that the audience might not have known about before?
I'd say maybe Tom Green of Texas.
I think it was the Battle of Sabine Pass.
Tom Green basically gathered up what would be considered to be a local militia.
And I think this was maybe 1864 or so when the Yankees were all coming up through Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico up through Texas and all trying to get into the South that way.
And Tom Greene's exploits there, basically taking a ragtag group of Southerners, of militia, putting defenses up, putting cannons into place, and driving off the Union invaders there in Southeast Texas is one of the great stories to me.
And of course, I always am thrown back on my own ancestor, Henry Randolph Hill, who joined the 16th Alabama Infantry at age 16 here just a few miles from where I'm sitting doing this interview tonight.
And while he was gone, he served with the Army of Tennessee all the way through the war, surrendered in North Carolina, and walked back home to northwest Alabama.
And while he was gone, the woman who would be his wife when he got back, her family was, and her name was Mary Richardson.
And she supposedly is a young woman, and this is another example of the great heroines, the great women of our Confederacy.
She, as a young woman of 17, 18 years old, drove the Yankees away holding an axe, standing on her porch, and dared them to come through her and get into the house.
And they apparently were so taken with her pluck and grit that they just kind of smiled and left.
And she preserved the family victuals, and they survived.
And when my great-grand, what would be my great-grandfather got back home, they got married.
And, well, as a result of that, I'm here today.
So I'm really thankful to both of them for doing what they did because it makes me proud.
And I've got that kind of blood running through my veins tonight.
And I think that helps me be who I am.
I said it last week.
I consider it having won the genetic lottery that God would have given me to a southern family in a Confederate state.
To me, that is, well, it's invaluable.
It's priceless.
And yes, of course, it's always so enriching to talk with someone who can relate.
And as I shared with the audience last week, 156 years ago, last week, as we broadcast the show last Saturday night on April the 7th, 156 years ago to the day, as I was broadcasting, 156 years later, my great-great-great-grandfather was fighting at Shiloh.
So how can you put a price on what that means and the pride that we draw from that?
But let me ask you this then.
You wrote an article, which we reposted this week, which we run every year in April.
My Heart is in Dixie.
And I guess we've touched on this.
But for people who haven't read it, you can go to our website, thepoliticalspool.org, and readily pull it up.
We've covered this, but if you could go into any further detail before the next break, what does it mean to you to be a Southerner?
And you covered it in this article, almost an autobiographical piece.
And what is it that makes the South so special to you?
Family, my bloodline.
That is who we are.
I'm a Christian.
And one of the things I noticed as a boy reading the Bible is there's a lot of genealogy in it.
There's a lot of tracing your bloodlines, which told me early on that that was a very important thing, not just for me, but for everyone.
And Southerners have always put a great deal of emphasis on who we are as a blood people.
There's just a fierceness in the blood that I think that we Southerners understand as well, or maybe better than anyone else.
But my bloodline, my kin, my kith and kin, the land on which we have sweated and bled and toiled by tilling to earn a living from and celebrated on and grieved on, have buried our dead in.
So the combination of blood and soil is just one of these fundamental things that God has given us as human beings.
And I think we Southerners are close enough to God and close enough to the real natural world and what's important, not the artificial stuff, not things, you know, junk, consumerism, all that, but the real things of life that make life worth living and give us an ability to identify with people ages ago.
You know, I could just as easily live in the Middle Ages in Scotland as I am living right now in the South because of the values I have because of my love of kith and kin and blood and soil and things like that.
I would be at home then.
I don't think a lot of modern would, guys.
I don't think so either, Dr. Hill.
And I wrote that in an article years ago.
It's amazing.
As we talk tonight, the similarities and the overlap.
Why can we not do anything less than defend our ancestors?
It's because this is who we are.
This is who we are.
It is personal.
And we'll be right back with Dr. Michael Hill right after this.
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 on 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.

Liberty is not free.
Its costs are innumerable.
Without monetary funding, the valiant efforts of freedom-loving Americans become diminished or outright defeated.
We present a solution, the Give Me Liberty Fund.
The plan is quite simple: invite individual Americans to contribute less than a dollar a day.
These monetary funds are used to promote liberty-minded media, organizations, events, candidates, movements, and speakers.
In the spirit of transparency, all expenditures are published.
Patriotic business owners provide discounted products and services to Give Me Liberty Fund members.
Our greatest strength is in numbers.

On the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Hurrah, there's a single song.
Welcome back.
A quick outro to the Bonnie Boo flag.
A lot of history.
It details the states that formed our Confederacy and the order in which they seceded.
And it is a great song, and we'll post it up at our website next week.
Dr. Michael Hill is our guest this hour.
You'll remember Dr. Hill if you were with us for that fantastic conference in Memphis last fall in celebration of what was then our 13th year on the air.
We're now in to what will be our 14th year on the air.
But Dr. Hill was one of our speakers there.
It was a sold-out standing room-only crowd, a posh venue.
We had a good time there that weekend, did we not, Dr. Hill?
Man, that was so much fun.
I sure hope you'll invite me back sometime, James, because I'll sure accept.
My friend, that was a lot of fun.
We have our conferences, unlike the League of the South conferences and unlike perhaps American Renaissance, we have our conferences intermittently.
So we don't do it every year.
We do it when the Spirit moves us.
But I think that one was just, well, we talked about it.
And folks, of course, you can go back to our broadcast in October, the last week of October of last year, and you can listen to it.
We did a live broadcast from the ballroom that night, and all of our speakers were a part of that.
It was just fuel for the soul is what it was.
But Dr. Hill, one of the things you mentioned.
Well, and that's what we build it as because our audience is our extended family.
And it was just, it was just, it was wonderful.
I made even more wonderful because you were there.
And I'm a beautiful wife as well.
Well, you're welcome.
One of the things you mentioned in the last segment that I'd like to go back and revisit is not only do we have a racial and a cultural heritage, we also have a spiritual heritage.
And here at TPC, and again, I say this for the benefit of any new listener, whether they're on the news station in Utah or however you may be tuned in tonight.
There's so many different ways to tune into this show.
You know, if you've been a longtime listener, though, that there are a few things that make up who we are on the radio, and that is our talks, our defense of racial reality, our willingness to address racial realities, our willingness to, of course, defend who we are as Southerners on this particular show.
Our show started in Memphis.
It's a worldwide phenomenon now.
But as Southerners and as descendants of Confederate veterans, obviously that plays a role in what we do on the air.
And we don't separate ourselves from our past, especially during the month of April, which is officially designated in several southern states.
It's Confederate History Month.
So we talk about racial realities.
We talk about our cultural heritage.
But as Christians, we talk about our spiritual heritage.
And Dr. Hill was kind enough.
He was privy to an article that was posted this week that details the fact that the Southern Baptist Convention is apparently coming after me.
And That's fine.
But as Christians, what is the home now for our Christian kinsmen, Dr. Hill?
So many churches now have cucked out.
They are essentially just as Dr. Andrew Fraser or Professor Andrew Fraser put it in his most recent book, it's like the Communist Party at prayer time to go into a lot of churches in this day and age.
What is the home for our Christian kinsmen in the current year?
Oh, gosh, James, that's a tough question.
You know, I would just tell everybody, whatever denomination of Christianity that you're comfortable with, look for tradition.
Look for doing things the old way, the biblical way.
In my own personal situation, James, I've been gone from my church now for over two years because they left me.
And I'm not going to say which church it was, but it's one, well, I guess I'll say it.
It's in the tradition of Robert Lewis Dabney and James Henley Thornwell and those great southern theologians of the 19th century.
And my church left me.
I didn't leave it.
It left me.
But now I worship at home every Sunday.
And I don't have a church that I can go to.
And I am very, very sad to report that.
But in good conscience, I can't go to a church that tells me that I ought to embrace immigrants and take them into my home, Muslims in particular, when they're out to destroy me and my religion, my faith.
So my church cucked out.
A supposedly conservative Southern church has cucked out on us here.
So I would just tell everyone to look for tradition.
Find tradition.
If you can't find it in the corporate setting, as far as you need to do so.
Get a few of your friends together.
Worship at someone's home.
Do it the right way because God tells us where two or three of you are gathered, he's there with us also.
So we can do that.
But don't compromise just by saying, well, I've got to go to a church, some bricks and mortar structure where they may be doing things that are completely unbiblical.
So in these days, the real church, which is the people, we have to be, well, creative in what we do.
But please don't compromise.
Worship the Lord in spirit and truth, whether you have to do it at home with a couple of other people or whatever.
But do that.
And God, you will honor God and he will bless you.
Once again, a fantastic answer.
And so many people, you've got to remember, ladies and gentlemen, after Christ's death and resurrection, you didn't have big ornate buildings to go to.
The underground church was the church, and perhaps that's what it needs to be again in order to go back to its roots.
And perhaps the church in America needs to be persecuted as the church in Eastern Europe was.
And in fact, I think the salvation or the richest part of Christian heritage that we can find in the modern world is in Eastern Europe.
And that's a whole nother conversation.
But Michael, you gave a great answer.
All of your answers have been spot on tonight, but I particularly appreciated that answer.
And I want to go back to one more thing.
Just a few days ago, the League of the South had a demonstration in a mini-conference at which Dr. Hill spoke.
One of our mutual friends, and Dr. Hill and I shared several friends, one of which is Brad Griffin of OccidentalDescent.com.
And this is what he wrote with regard to that recent gathering in Alabama.
Brad wrote, we had an overwhelmingly positive response from the public.
It was one of the best responses I've seen in years.
I'll admit that it lifted my spirits to see so many people responding so positively to the side of the Confederate battle flag.
And he's referring to a demonstration, a public demonstration in front of a highway in which so many people were waving our flag.
And he's talking about the positive response he got from the general public.
Brad goes on to write that we need to get back to focusing on southern nationalism.
We spent the last few years since the rise of Trump getting sucked into this vortex.
I think we've drifted away from our core message of southern independence.
I think the message is more relevant than ever as the U.S. Empire slumps towards another attack against Syria and the glittering promises of MAGA, Make America Great Again, are exposed as one long con.
As far as activism goes, Brad writes, we need to focus on Southern themes and imagery.
I think we should keep doing activism and refuse to retreat from the public square.
At the same time, I think we need to focus on the fundamentals and spend a lot more time articulating our own values, beliefs, and vision for the future, which we have sadly been negligent in doing in recent years.
The Trump presidency has a shelf life.
What will come after it?
How will the South fare when the Republicans let us down again and the Democrats come back to power?
So with that, Michael Hill, with only about two or three minutes remaining, I would ask you this two-part question.
Number one, what is the future of the South?
And number two, share with us the goals of the League of the South and how people can get more information about your wonderful organization and hopefully join it.
We want people to join it.
How can they join?
What's the future of the South?
Tell us about the League and how people can join.
The future of the South is glorious.
I don't think God will let us down if we're faithful to Him.
If we do what we're supposed to do by Him, He will bless us, and the South will have a glorious future of independence and prosperity for our children and grandchildren.
The League has been at this for 25 years.
We're Southern nationalists.
We want a free and independent South.
We seek the survival, well-being, and independence of the Southern people.legofthesouth.com is our website. 256-757-6789 is our phone number. You can call me. I'll send you information. Be glad to have anyone who's white,
straight, and a Gentile in the organization. You don't even have to be a Southerner as long as you agree with us and want to help us become independent and successful down here. But we're going to have another rally next weekend in Noonan,
Georgia. And if you want information about it, contact me through the website or by phone. I'll give you the information. We'd love to have you there waving the Confederate flag in Noonan, Georgia, a week from today, because people are hungry for this, James.
Southerners are hungry to see people with the courage to stand out in public and wave the symbols of our people, the heroic and honorable symbols of our People.
They're hungry for It.
They want to see it and they want to join and do it Themselves.
But we've got to stand out there on the front line and show them it's okay to do it and despite what political correctness Says.
But we've been doing that in the league for 25 years.
This will be our 25th national conference coming up in June.
And we would love to have you there for that.
Anybody out there listening, contact Us.
We'll give you all the information you need to join and get active with us.
All right, Dr. Michael Hill, give us that contact information one more time. Leagueofthesouth.com for the website. 256-757-6789 for the league office number. Call me. Dr. Hill,
