You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
He's a rebel as he never ever does what he should.
Just because he doesn't do what everybody else does.
That's the reason why I can't give all my love.
He's always good to me.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to what promises to be a most memorable broadcast of the political cesspool radio program.
I'm your host, James Edwards, this Saturday evening, April 28th.
And my goodness, am I looking forward to tonight's show?
Of course, I always look forward to every show.
I think every show is good.
And I'll always enjoy spending Saturday night with you, my beloved listening audience.
We have such a sweet fellowship.
But tonight's show is going to be, I think, in some ways above and beyond, if that's even possible.
Tonight, we've got the convergence of two events.
The American Renaissance Conference is ongoing right now near Nashville, Tennessee.
And throughout the first two hours of this evening's live broadcast, we're going to be bringing you live behind-the-scenes reporting from this weekend's American Renaissance Conference.
Don't miss the personal reflections from the attendees on the floor right here, exclusively on TPC.
So that's what we're going to be doing the first two hours.
We're going to be taking you to the American Renaissance Conference.
Attendees and speakers from the floor of the Amerin Conference, and they are in full tilt right now.
It's getting to be banquet time on day two.
This is the zenith of the energy of Amrin.
And I was talking with Jared yesterday, Jared Taylor, and I didn't even ask Jared to be on the show.
We have run conferences before, and you know how busy they are.
And I didn't ask Jared to be on the show because I didn't want to put on his plate another responsibility or obligation.
But he came up to me yesterday and said, I'd like to be on the show.
Is it okay if I come on the show?
I said, Jared, you want to come on the show?
The time we broadcast, you're right in the middle of the heaviest order of business for the whole weekend.
He said, you tell me what time.
I'll be there.
And, well, that's just the kind of guy Jared is.
He is a gentleman and a scholar.
Truly, he is one of my best friends in the movement.
I've known him for a long, long time.
So you're going to hear from Jared Taylor himself tonight, along with many other people.
Gene Andrews, Mark Weber are on deck.
They're here at Amrin.
Kyle Rogers, our old friend from the Council of Conservative Citizens.
I've run into so many good people here, so many friends, so many new friends.
Listeners of the show, this place is just run over with listeners of TPC.
And I've really enjoyed having the opportunity to meet and greet with y'all and take some pictures and sign some books and do all of that fun stuff.
I tell you, there is a lot of love in this audience and a lot of respect.
And so that's going to be going on tonight.
Also, in the third hour of the show, well, you heard the song that introduced the program tonight, He's a Rebel.
Hey, we mean that term affectionately.
And rebels get the girls.
Don't let anybody tell you differently.
I was up at Amrin last night with my beautiful wife on my arm.
And, of course, she's been with me since before the show even started 14 years ago.
So she knows everybody.
Everybody knows her.
And we had a great time catching up.
But in the third hour tonight, we're going to wrap up Confederate History Month with Brad Griffin, Brad Griffin, the founding editor of OccidentalDescent.com.
Brad is an historian in his own right, and it's always good to have historians on during Confederate History Month.
And so Brad is going to round out a fantastic schedule that we've had this month.
I think it has been one of our best Confederate History Month series to date.
We've done it 14 years.
Every year we've been on the air.
I would put this up near the very top.
It's right up there.
And Brad is going to cap it off tonight in grand fashion in the third hour, first two hours, Amrin.
Hey, this show is set.
The table is set.
That's the agenda.
That's what we're going to do.
And we're looking forward to doing it together.
But before we do any of that, I have just got to read something that came in to me this week.
You know, we get a lot of correspondence, but you truly are our family.
We talk about the fellowship that we share and the bonds and wonderful relationship that we have with our audience.
I got this in from a listener in Chicago earlier this week.
And he wrote, James, your show is the best.
It's the only show that combines everything that I enjoy and really care about.
Pride in the white race, this desire for us to survive and prosper, traditional conservatism, Christianity, and a true understanding and appreciation of our history.
And this is a man who has been at both of our conferences in 2014, 2018, respectively.
He has six children up there in Illinois.
And he closed out his short note to me by writing, for me, your show is perfect.
And I'm sure many more agree.
Well, I don't know about perfect, my friend, but we sure try.
And we are sincere, and we do everything from what we think is a righteous position.
And we're never going to back down from the truth.
It doesn't matter who attacks us or how often they attack us or how viciously they attack us.
Those who hate the truth are no friend of ours.
And we're going to let the truth be told no matter what they call the truth today.
They call the truth racism or white nationalism or any of these other dirty, dirty terms that they think are going to cow us from standing up for our God and our people and our culture.
Well, it's just not going to work here.
And it is men like that who sent me that note this week.
Men and women like those I met.
Oh, my goodness.
I wish you could have been there.
I wish we had a camera to have videotaped just the outpouring of appreciation that this show has, I guess, earned and the respect that people give it.
I just want to say again, how much you know who you are if you listen to this.
I don't know if you're at Amran right now, if you're listening to it live, probably not.
But when you listen to this in the archives later, after you get home, from what is going to be a fantastic night of radio and certainly a fantastic night for those in attendance at Amran.
And you know, the political cesspool is the only broadcast entity that is broadcasting live from the 2018 American Renaissance Conference.
So this is an exclusive behind-the-scenes look you're getting right here, and it's going to start in the next segment.
But for all of those who were there and you're listening to this, now or after the fact, I really enjoyed the few minutes I got to spend with each and every one of you.
And I appreciate what you've said about our work.
And it truly is the wind in our sales.
Like I said, my wife was up there with me.
We ran into, oh, my, some people I haven't seen in years, some people I talk to regularly, Sam Dixon, Mark Weber, Gene Andrews.
Well, I could go on and on.
I mean, dozens and dozens of people came up.
I'll tell you one that I was pleasantly surprised to see and excited to see was one Jamie Kelso.
Now, Jamie and I go back many, many years to 2004.
Jamie had a show on this network for some time, Liberty News Radio.
He still has a show on RBN, and I was actually on his show last night.
He was broadcasting live.
Well, I say it's exclusive.
Maybe we're exclusive tonight, but Jamie was there broadcasting last night.
And I hopped on his show for a few minutes, and we had a great time reconnecting.
And that's what these conferences are all about.
Well, we're going to take you to the floor of the American Renaissance Conference.
When we come back, announcements and opening banter is done.
Let's get down to it and get you report from the field.
We'll be right back.
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 S ⁇ P 500 outperformed gold.
Daddy, gold is a bad investment.
Some people do think of it that way, but actually, gold is money.
And as members of the United Precious Metals Association, we can use our gold at any store, just like a credit card.
Or I can ask them to drop it right into Mommy and Daddy's bank account because we're a UPMA member family.

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.
It's time to jump back into the political zest pool to be part of the show and have your voice heard around the world.

Well, folks, I told you in the first segment what we're going to be doing tonight now at the top of the second segment.
And for the remainder of this evening's broadcast, let's get to it.
How about that?
And, you know, we're going to be talking with people from the floor of the conference, speakers, attendees.
And we've got two of our very favorites right here for you right now, right out of the gate.
The first people we're bringing to the audience this evening from the Amrin conference, Rich and Janice, these two dear friends of ours, loyal supporters, longtime listeners, were up there, and we had the great chance to spend some time with them last night.
Rich, thanks for calling in.
And so I basically, just in the first segment, made mention of the fact that I was there last night with my wife.
We enjoyed seeing everybody, but I haven't gone into any details about the conference at all, except that, of course, it's always a good time.
So you take it in any direction you want to go, brother.
All right.
Well, I sure will.
Greetings from Burns, Tennessee, beautiful Burns, Tennessee.
We're at Montgomery Bell State Park, a very nice facility.
And I think we're the only guests here, us and all these park rangers they pulled in from around the state.
I haven't seen any tourists here.
It's been a great event.
The speakers are good.
The attendance is great.
The food's been good.
We're getting ready for the banquet.
And the security here, I haven't seen so many cops since I went to Charlottesville.
Except these are actually doing their job.
And I should say.
They're actually doing their job this time.
And I started having flashbacks when we pulled up.
But things have turned out okay.
They did the metal detector on us and all this kind of stuff.
And everybody has to wear an ID badge.
And if you don't have your badge on you, they call you down and so on.
But they were anticipating trouble from Antifa.
And to be honest, it was a great big nothing burger.
I think maybe about 30 or 40 of them showed up this morning and started dribbling in this morning.
And the last one of them left at 4 o'clock.
I could see them trudging up the hill behind the barricades.
They were kind of looking a little crestfallen and dragging their signs behind them, you know, and kind of moping all the way out of here.
So I don't think they had a very good time here today.
Well, let me just attest to this and testify to what Rich is saying here.
So we were up there yesterday just for a few hours.
I'm back in Memphis now in the studio, and we're going back to the location live for our reports from the field.
I wanted to be back in our home studio because it's a little bit better connection than what they get in the wilds of rural Tennessee.
But it is a sell-out crowd.
The entire hotel there, the entire lodge where this conference is being held is completely filled.
Every room with Ameren attendees.
And in fact, it's overflowed as it normally does.
And there are people staying outside of the facility at area hotels because they couldn't fit, you know, everything was sold out at the end, like Christ.
There was no room at the end.
And so it's a great crowd.
Great people there last night.
But yes, I have to say, double down on what Rich is saying, fantastic police presence.
We were there yesterday, and I saw at least 100 state troopers, park rangers, all gentlemen and ladies, and they did a good job.
They were thorough.
They had a, it looked like, well, you know, when I was broadcasting live from Donald Trump's press pen here in Memphis, it looked like that.
They had a little area with barricades for the protesters.
There were zero protesters yesterday.
Not one.
Not one.
Today, I heard there were a handful, and they were very low energy.
I think, Rich, you told me that.
But I just want to say I want to tip my hat to the law enforcement of the state of Tennessee for keeping the law-abiding attendees, the Amerin attendees, safe and for maintaining law and order.
It's a great day in Tennessee that the rule of law was upheld and they did their jobs, and we thank them for that.
But, Rich, give us another parting shot on what you've seen, what you've heard, any observations you'd like to share with the audience before we go to your beautiful wife.
Well, there's a lot of good, you know, old friends here that we've been reconnected with.
I was seeing, of course, Sam Dixon's here, and I had a good long chat with Jason Kessler and some of the other people that were up at Charlottesville.
And there's about 20 of the Identity Europa people here, I believe.
I talked to Patrick Casey last night, had a good chat with him.
And it's just a lot of fine, upstanding folks here.
It's a real upbeat atmosphere, very positive.
A lot of young folks here, women here.
So it's the quality of the conferences has changed dramatically in the last six years since they've been having it here.
Seven years, I think this is the seventh year.
As Jared Taylor said, he said he's very upbeat now.
He said he wasn't so much five years ago, but he's really very excited about the future, as we all are.
And we're just trying to figure out how to make it work.
So let me know.
You mentioned Jason.
You mentioned.
Yeah, I was just going to say very quickly, you mentioned Jason, you mentioned Patrick.
I had the chance to catch up with them again last night as well.
It's hard to remember everybody.
We talk to at these events.
It happens so quickly, and there's so many.
But yes, I'm glad you name-dropped those two men.
Of course, Patrick doing great work with Identity Europa now.
And yes, thank you, Rich, for getting the party started tonight and sharing with us your observations.
I know you're there with Simon Roche of Soitlanders, and he's going to be the banquet speaker tonight.
Maybe we can grab Simon for a quick minute.
Yes, and he is the main event.
He is the main event at this conference.
Maybe we can grab Simon for a second here in just a minute or two, maybe in the next segment.
I know we got Gene Andrews in a busy slate tonight, but if we can get Simon, I'd love to do that before he gives his banquet speech.
Maybe he can give us a little preview.
But let's go to your wife first, most importantly.
Oh, here she is.
Hey, Jan.
Hey, how are you tonight?
I'm fantastic.
I'm always doing good when I'm talking to you or your husband.
I love y'all dearly.
Hey, what do you want to tell the audience about what you've seen and what you've participated in this weekend?
Well, we've heard a lot of good speakers, but I think that Gene kind of wanted to go through that.
But what I've enjoyed is eating some meals with people that I know real well and then some people that we don't know at all and actually sharing ideas and talking with them and seeing where they're at on this journey of trying to preserve our culture.
So it's been real good.
I've enjoyed the speakers and I actually am going to be writing one of them when I get home.
Well, and that is one of the things about these conferences that is always so enjoyable.
And of course, you and Rich have been at the last two political cesspool conferences, and we always have such a great time together.
Of course, you and Rich brought Simon down to Memphis.
We did a live broadcast in the studio last fall.
And, you know, so we share a very rich relationship.
But I know that Eddie the Bombardier Miller, I was there yesterday.
Eddie is up there today.
Eddie, has Eddie been behaving?
Can you tell us that?
He has been behaving.
He got here just as the last speaker of the afternoon.
No, the second to the last speaker was starting.
And He actually got to talk to some people and to listen to the last guy of the afternoon.
And so, yeah, it was good.
And he's even got a tie on.
I was just, you know, you stole my thunder.
I was going to ask you about that.
I told Eddie this morning, I said, Eddie, I can get you a press pass, but you got to wear a suit and tie.
Now, Eddie is the only man in the world who hates wearing a tie more than me.
And I said, You got to wear a suit.
You got to wear a tie.
You can't wear just a tie and not a jacket.
You can't wear a jacket and a dress shirt and not a tie.
You got to do the whole thing.
So I'd like to actually have it.
Can somebody take a picture of him and send it to me?
Can we do that?
That's outstanding.
Yeah, we can do that.
Yeah, we can get that done for you, okay?
And I know, hey, tell Eddie, tell Eddie that he's going to be on at 7:15.
So we're going to have him on the second segment of the second hour.
If you don't mind doing that, hey, let me ask you this.
I'll put you on the spot here.
I don't mind putting you on the spot because we're friends.
Favorite speaker of the day.
They're all done but Simon.
So we'll leave Simon out of this.
Well, I guess Sam Dixon goes tomorrow.
He's always out of it.
My favorite speaker of the day was Sergey Krisigkoff, or however you pronounce it.
T-R-I-S-K-O-V-I-C.
I'm looking at the agenda right now.
His talk was titled Migratory Jihad and the Crisis of Europe.
So what did you like so much about that?
I liked about the fact that he had a good slide presentation and it was informative.
I mean, it was stuff that I knew, but you know, there are some people still in this world that do not understand at all about Islam.
So.
Well, hey, listen, and that's what these conferences are for.
To strengthen relationships and form bonds and ties and share in good times and camaraderie.
But you also learned something in these things, to be sure.
Hey, Jan, we got to take a break.
Thanks to you and Rich.
If you can get Gene Andrews on standby, we'll go to him next.
Stay tuned, everybody.
Protecting your liberties.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
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.

Well, we're back, and if I can, if there's any way I can get you to go to our Twitter account, this should be it.
I got a picture of myself and my wife from AmRen last night.
My wife, I got to give her a ton of credit.
You know, we're always under fire, and she has stuck with me through thick and thin through it all and been nothing but 100% supportive.
I mean, she is in this every bit as much as committed as me.
And we had a great time last night.
I guess I've said that three or four times now, but I can't say it enough.
And I got to say another thing about my wife.
There's a lot of young guys in this movement.
If you want to get a beautiful woman, number one, church is still a good place to meet them.
That's number one.
It's cucked out and as apostate as the churches are becoming.
They're still the best place to find a traditional wife.
That's where I met mine when she was 15 years old.
And be manly.
Women are attracted to courage and to bravery and to men who are defiant.
And I don't know, maybe your host is one of those guys.
But I want to say one more thing.
And I brought this up last night.
And there's a picture of my wife and I on our Twitter at James Edwards TPC.
My wife wore to the conference last night the same dress she wore to her high school graduation.
Can you believe it?
And it still fits her perfectly, even after giving me two of the best children that any man could have and any husband and any father could have.
And the dress still looks good.
So anyway, I like to brag on my wife from time to time.
Is that okay?
And I'll tell you who else I like to brag on is Gene Andrews.
Gene Andrews has been with us twice this month already with the two-part Nathan Bedford Forrest biography that he presented to our audience during the first and second week of our Confederate History Month series.
And Gene is back on with us for a third time, but tonight to share his observations for the American Renaissance Conference.
And I, of course, saw Gene last night and enjoyed catching up with him, spending a little time with him.
Gene, what do you got to report to the crowd this evening?
Well, hello, James.
How are you doing?
I hope we don't run your listeners off having me on too many times there.
Well, no way.
We talked about the great speakers that we had.
Jared Taylor from Virginia talking about irreconcilable and irreconcilable differences and need for divorce, fucking the left, and then the surge traffic vic from Croatia, a majority jihad and the crisis in Europe, how Europe is being taken over.
And then Marcus Foland from Sweden and the Defense of the West begins with you talking about how we need to present ourselves.
Of course, after the banquet tonight, Simon Roach, our good friend from South Africa, will be speaking.
So the speakers here have been first class.
I have a little bit different spin on what happened to me.
I didn't get here this morning.
I registered yesterday, went back home to Nashville, and then drove out about noon.
My son ran in that Music City marathon.
So we were down there early this morning to wish him well and when he came in.
But anyway, so I got here about noon.
So the Antifa and the garbage of that bunch were already out and protesting.
And you could not imagine the police presence that they had here.
They were Park Rangers, TBI, Highway Patrol, everything.
And they had them cordoned off way away from where we were.
So they told me you had to show your badge to get in.
And then they told me where to park.
And when I was pulling around the park, two park rangers came up behind me.
And when I got out of the car, of course, the antifa were yelling all this stuff.
And it's amazing how they can't form a sentence at all without using the F word.
So they're really intellectual giants.
And so they were hollering all this stuff.
And I thought, you know, they thinking they were going to intimidate me.
And I should have told them, no, I played minor league professional football and I played amateur hockey.
So I've heard every name that you can be called by anybody.
And so that's not going to work.
So the Park Ranger, and I mean, they've got on flak jackets, fully armed, everything.
He walks up behind me and he escorts me from where I park down about 50 yards down to the entrance of the main lobby here at Montgomery Bell State Park.
And of course, they're hollering and yelling everything.
And we got down to the end there, a whole bunch of policemen where we were coming down the steps to come in.
And I turned around and said this loud enough so the antifos could hear it, talking like to the policeman, like your stage voice.
I said, can you believe this?
10,000 years of evolution, and this is all that we have to show for it.
So that set them off.
I had a few more comments about being a Nazi and F this and F that and yadda, yaddy, yadda.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, we've heard that before.
So then they were started chanting all this stuff.
So I was chanting, let's go, creditors, let's go, creditors.
And boy, that really got them going.
I said, good night.
Those hockey fans from up in Winnipeg with the creditors and Winnipeg series, they're really mad about their hockey, aren't they?
So, you know, you laugh and make fun of them.
It just really sets them off.
But fantastic conference here.
Jared Taylor has done another stupid job of getting people lined up.
And the thing is, they're such brilliant speakers.
And the news media portrays it as a bunch of thugs, a bunch of, you know, neo-Nazis, these guys out of biker bars and all this stuff that show up here.
Every speaker could teach a college class, you know, with his eyes closed.
They're that smart and they're that intelligent and they have that many facts.
And that's what set the left off.
When you use facts, it just absolutely drives them crazy.
So I want to get off the line here and put Simon on.
I know you all want to hear this fine gentleman from South Africa.
So if with your permission, James, if I can pass the phone over to Simon Roach, would that be okay?
Gene, Gene, before you do, I just want to thank you for coming on again.
I want to direct everyone to Gene's appearances earlier this month during our Competitive History Month series, which will conclude tonight during the third hour.
And go to thepoliticalspool.org.
We have an article entitled Former Marine Gene Andrews Blast the Southern Baptist Convention.
It's an article you need to read.
And it has gotten a great circulation, Gene, and a great response.
I appreciate you writing those vipers there at the Executive Committee in Nashville.
Thank you, Gene.
Let's talk to Simon by all means, and thank you for your report, my friend.
All right, here he is right here.
Hello, hello, James.
Simon, the man of the hour, the banquet speaker tonight.
So, as we sit here live right now at approximately 6:39 p.m. Central Time, you are less than an hour away or approximately an hour away from your keynote address to the 2018 American Renaissance Conference, and he's taking time out of his schedule to reappear with us.
I appreciate that, my friend.
I appreciate what you're doing, the cause for which you're raising awareness.
Tell us what you're going to be talking about in just a few minutes' time.
Well, without letting the cat out of the bag, I'm not going to speak really very much from South Africa.
I feel led.
I don't know why, I can't tell you exactly, but very much inspired to speak to Americans about America and perhaps give some tips on ways to organize and pragmatic ways to consolidate and move forward.
We're a little bit further down the path of this crisis than you guys are, but we've learned a few more lessons than you have.
We know better at you than you at it, but we've got a little bit more experience, and I'd like to share that experience as an encouragement to the God-fearing people of the USA who've been so good to us.
Simon, I know you're going to knock it out of the park.
I can't wait to watch your speech on YouTube.
I wish I could be there tonight, but work intruded and we had to come back home and broadcast from our home studio.
I enjoyed, obviously, a great deal just being able to embrace you as a brother and as a comrade in a cause greater than ourselves yesterday and to talk to you for a few minutes again and for coming on this evening.
Anything else you'd like to share before we go to break?
I know you're busy and you're being pulled in a lot of directions.
You've got to get back to the floor.
But for coming on with us tonight, I certainly respect that and appreciate it.
What else would you like to give to the audience?
The only thing that I'd like to add is that if people are so moved, they should please take a look at our website.
If they have the means to donate, if they're interested in donating, we would appreciate it.
I feel as if I sound like a bigger, but the reality of the situation in South Africa now is that we are desperately preparing the final elements of a comprehensive defensive plan that covers about 40% of our national territory.
And that is a big job that takes a lot of resources.
We're working our fingers to the bone, and any support will be gratefully received.
Well, Simon, give us by all means, give us the address.
How can we do that?
The two addresses.
The one is Free Starter, which is the right-wing equivalent of the crowdfunding system that's become a big thing in recent years in the world.
It's an American company called Free Starter, F-R-E-E-S-T-A-R-T.
And then you lose, you leave the last E out and just put in an R.
So Free Starter minus the last E.
That is a conservative Christian crowdfunding platform out of the USA that is helping us.
And there's another way that people can go, and that is satelonders.org, S-U-I-D-Landers.org.
And there we have a PayPal channel.
So either one of the two, we'd be most grateful.
And then finally, James, as we've been saying to people, if you're in any doubt, if you want to come and have a look, come and see what's happening in South Africa.
Do as many people have done and are doing.
Come and visit us on the banks of the Orange River.
Come and see Oranya for yourself.
Come and shoot a springbox for $8.50.
Come and have the time of your life amongst good, decent, God-fearing people.
We would love to have you.
I'll tell you what, that's a trip Eddie that Bombardier Miller would like to make.
And I know Eddie specifically wanted to make the three-hour drive from Memphis to see you.
And I know y'all are there tonight and having a good time together.
Simon, thank you for giving us a few minutes of your time.
Just a few minutes before you go and give the keynote speech at this evening's conference, the American Renaissance Conference.
We love you, brother.
Thank you for all you do.
Thank you, and God bless you and your listeners.
God bless you, Simon.
Simon Roach, everybody.
Support him.
I'm the one to do it.

Getting the kids to school, cleaning the house, doing the laundry.
It seems that the work routine as a stay-at-home mom is never ending.
And even though I'm the prime grocery shopper in our family of four, I simply don't have time to scrutinize all the labels on the countless food products I buy.
Oh, sure, I've noticed all the latest certification seals, organic, non-GMO, gluten-free.
It definitely seems to be the latest craze.
But it was only recently that kosher certification seals caught my attention.
You see, my husband had me download an app called Kosher Certify, and it shed light on a century-old certification industry that slipped under the radar screen from the majority of our public.
I also noticed a question mark at the end of the app name.
And that makes great sense as there's far more questions regarding this industry than answers.
In fact, the developers refer to this as the kosher question.
Sure, I'm a busy mom and didn't pay attention to our food culture, but now I have transparency, a convenient grocery list feature, and the ability to eat in favor of my family's best interests.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
First, I want to tell you, I want to just clue you in on a little bit of a secret of the trade in this industry is that these live broadcasts are always difficult.
When you're doing a live broadcast, there's so many variables, so many intangibles.
Anything could go wrong.
And certainly from time to time, we prove that we are live and on the air, unrehearsed and uncensored, because there are some technical difficulties that we sometimes endure.
And you are especially at risk for that when you are doing a live remote with so many moving parts from a convention that is in session, a meeting, a conference that is in session, when you're having multiple guests on.
But I've got to give credit to our men on the ground there who are producing it in Burns at the conference and our producer at the network, Sam, in Utah, and the local crew here in Memphis.
It has gone off without a hitch so far, knock on wood.
And so far, so good.
And we continue now with a man that I have a great deal of respect for, a man who I always enjoy sharing a few minutes with and a conversation with and airtime with.
And we had a great talk last night and rekindled our friendship.
Mark Weber, the director of the Institute for Historical Review.
He was just one of the many luminaries in the crowd at the 2018 American Renaissance Conference.
And he's giving us and you and me a few minutes of his time right before they serve dinner.
I mean, it is hard to pull a man from a plate, but he's doing that for you tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
Mark, how are you?
Hello, James.
Good to be on with you.
Yes.
Always good to be on with you as well.
And of course, Mark Weber has just been one of the parade of incredible guests that we have featured, well, really, over the years, over the many, many, many years.
But Mark has also logged an appearance already in 2018.
And I would encourage you to go back in our broadcast archives and check that out if you missed it when he was on a few weeks ago.
But we got him back on tonight, as everyone is doing this evening, to talk about his reflections and observations at the American Renaissance Conference.
So, Mark, you've been there two days now.
What do you think you would most like to share with those who haven't been there, those in our listening audience?
Take it away.
There's a couple of points I wanted to make, James.
We live very much now in the internet age, an age of internet, Twitter, Facebook.
But there is, and this is an important thing.
Anybody who goes to this conference or any conference like this, there's no substitute for people meeting face to face and talking face to face.
I think that internet's a great thing.
It's a very valuable tool.
We're all learned a lot from it.
But when people meet and share ideas one-on-one, it's not only sharpens our own mind, it gives us tremendous sense that we're not alone.
And there's just no substitute for that.
And the American Renaissance conferences are the premier meeting place in the United States for people who share our general worldview.
One of the most, I think, encouraging things, and this is not a unique observation of me, is this the high level of education, intelligence, commitment, awareness of people in the American Renaissance.
And over the years, and this is it's once again reinforced this year, is that the people on our side are more aware, smarter, that can hold their own against any group from the other side because our worldview is essentially based on reality, on truth.
This is a very, very important point.
It's not merely that they have one point of view, we got another point of view, or this point of view is good or bad.
Our point of view is based and grounded in reality.
And ultimately, it will succeed because any worldview or policies that are based on delusion and wishful thinking not only will fail, they must fail.
They should fail.
And this comes across again at this conference.
Now, the number of people at the conference this year is actually smaller than last year.
But the reason is actually a very good reason.
The reason is it's being held during the final weeks of college and university around the country so that unlike last year, which had a very high percentage of younger people, this year there's not so many because there are so many people who came last year and would come this year who are in university and colleges.
who are not able to because this year it's scheduled during that time.
But that is actually a sign or an expression of the generally high level of education, awareness, and so forth of the people who come to this American Renaissance conference and come to American Renaissance Conference in general.
And once again, those people who don't already know about it, you and me, and we encourage people to look into this and look into next year's American Renaissance Conference and follow what they're doing because it's an enormous range of important knowledge and information that really should get out there.
Anyway, that's my sense from the conference this year, which is another great conference, another sense that people have.
As Taylor has put it at one conference, there's a sense that the wind is in our sails.
And a lot of that is just reinforced and underscored by the idea that we're on the right side of reality.
We're on the right side of history, not our adversaries.
Mark, I couldn't agree with you more.
Right side of reality, I like that.
Of course, we all hear the right side of history.
The orcs, the forces of evil often like to say they're on the right side of history because it appears as though they're winning at the moment.
But surely our people are on the right side of history.
We're on the right side of righteousness and of all things decent.
The right side of reality.
I really like that.
And I appreciate your observations as well.
If you go strictly from a headcount, yes, the head count this year is slightly lower than last year.
But it is still a sellout crowd in terms of they sold out every room at the hotel.
Last year, the standing room only crowd was a little bit more crowded than this year's.
But that is, I had not taken that under consideration until you brought it to my attention and to the attention of the audience just a moment ago.
And if the conference had been held like last year in June or July, it would have had even more people.
But, you know, I want to go back to this point.
Barack Obama, when he was president, would often talk about policies and he would justify them by saying we have to be on the right side of history.
What he means by that is to be on the right side of history as Hollywood or the ADL or these organizations, they present history.
We're talking about history in a much bigger context, a much larger context.
And in that sense, we're on the right side of history and they're on the wrong side of history.
That should be obvious all around the world because the ideology that prevails in America and Western Europe is obviously in crisis.
And we live in a country now.
This last election for president is the first one in all of American history in which a majority said they didn't trust either of candidates, either of the candidates.
Polls show that Americans, a majority, do not trust our Congress.
They don't trust our media.
Increasingly, they don't trust each other.
Those are all signs of a very ill society, a very sick society.
And that's happening not only in the United States, but in Western Europe, in the countries where this ideology is prevailing.
And that's the contrast between what people see, what they experience, and the big promises by our leaders is so vast, that's already signs of a very, very sick society.
And that's not going to be vindicated by history.
To the contrary, history will consign societies that are not based on reality, like the policies of this society, to the trash heap of history.
And so Obama, when he and people who like that, who talk about history, they mean some fantastic, crazy Star Trek vision of the future, not the reality that's coming.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Weber has been appearing on this program for more years than I can remember.
I don't know how long.
It's been a long time.
He's one of my favorite guests.
I told him that last night.
And he is displaying for you once again, as he does every time he's on the program, exactly why that is and why we're so fortunate to have him as a guest on these appearances that he joins us and especially thankful to have him on tonight.
As you listen to his comments, do you feel the hope?
Do you feel the energy?
Do you feel the positive direction and the positive momentum?
I can feel it even here from three hours away.
I certainly felt it there last night.
This is a program.
This is a movement.
These are a collection of people, a conference.
But indeed, a greater majority of those who subscribe to our ideas that support the work of Mark Weber at the Institute for Historical Review that support our show, that support Amrin, that support us, that haven't even heard about us yet.
Our people are good people.
Mark, tell us just very quickly.
We only have a couple of minutes remaining and we got to go to a break, but tell us about the nature of the people that make up the attendees there at Amrin, what you've witnessed, what you've observed.
Are they hateful?
Are they mean?
Are they uncouth?
Are they lousy?
I'm glad you brought that up, James.
One of the interesting themes that's been brought up by several speakers that I have not seen before was the importance of how we behave, how we act.
The importance of being civil, of not being vulgar or crude.
In other words, we should act in a way the way we want people to act in the society we want to live in.
We should be ourselves models and exemplars.
I've never seen a conference in which there was as much emphasis as there had been so far on how each of us as individuals can take responsibility in our own lives to live the kind of lives that we want other people to live.
Neil Tolstoy once said, everybody wants to change the world, but nobody wants to change himself.
Change has to start first and foremost and is easiest by changing our own behavior to be the kind of person we want people to be.
And if we have trouble doing it, it was interesting in this conference, there was some specific things said about how we should try to act in our own lives and our lives of our friends and family and our colleagues along those lines.
And that was a new theme that I had not heard at previous conferences.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Weber, be sure to support his work at the Institute for Historical Review.
That is ihr.org.
Mark, thanks for giving us your time this evening.
And we'll be back with more from Amrin during the second hour.
