You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Ladies, I got back to the studio tonight by the skin of my teeth.
I mean, just minutes before airtime.
And I understand we may have a little static.
I'll let my producer advise me of that.
We'll see what happens with it.
But nevertheless, I had spent the day, and that light as well, at the Nationalist Solutions Conference near Nashville, Tennessee.
And it was a fantastic event.
I knew it would be a good event.
I knew that we would have a good time.
I knew there would be good people there, but this really exceeded expectations.
Expectations that were already quite high, but this exceeded even those.
It was, I think, about a month ago.
I was talking to the conference organizer, and they had about 60 people registered for the event as of a month ago.
Maybe a little less time than that even.
And today, when I was there, it was a sell-out crowd.
Every room in the hotel was filled, and that was really a good thing to see.
And I had the honor to address the gathering this morning, and I gave my talk and left a little bit after lunch and had to drive back here to do the show.
I have to leave in the morning, Sunday morning at 5 a.m. to go on another trip.
So it was just busy, busy.
But I'm so glad I was able to go up there and see so many, really the best people America has to offer were in that room.
But it all started in earnest on Thursday.
David Duke came up to town and we spent the evening together and went out to eat and enjoyed some fellowship.
And then he and I rode up to Nashville together and did a little carpooling, you know, because we are all for the environment, of course.
And we carpooled together.
And I can tell you in the two or three hour car ride up to the conference, he and I solved all of the world's problems.
All of the world's problems were solved in that two and a half hour car ride.
Of course, applying the prescription is a little bit a different matter, but we got it all worked out, that's for sure.
And it's always good to spend time with him.
I'll tell you a story.
We were sitting there.
We were sitting there at dinner on Thursday night with a small group of people.
And you know, David, I've known David for a long time.
And he's trying to get me in tip-top shape.
I'm on a workout regimen now.
He cares about me.
He's like an uncle.
And I ordered some food that he disagreed with.
You know, he doesn't like fried food.
That's not good.
And he was rousing me a little bit for my food selection.
And he looked over to the other guys.
He goes, I can do this to James because we're so close.
He goes, you know, I love you.
And I go, well, you know, I love you too.
He said, okay, we got to stop talking like that out loud in public.
People are going to get the wrong idea.
But it was just a fun night and a good-natured night.
And we had some laughs and some serious discussions.
And then we went up to the event.
Now, I already told you it was a good crowd, good people.
I want to say again, just here right at the very top of the program, I want to salute, literally, the law enforcement of the state of Tennessee.
I know there were some state troopers there.
There were some other agencies involved with the security and the protection of the event.
And they did, just like they did at American Renaissance.
There were people on horseback.
There were people on scuba keeping the protesters away from the conference goers, et cetera.
And these, I'm not saying that these law enforcement people were on our side at all.
I'm not saying they were forced or against us.
What I'm saying is that they were professional.
They did their job, and that's all you can ask for in that situation.
They were courteous, but they were also very much in command.
And they had an authoritative presence, and it made you feel safe without being encumbered upon.
And they treated everyone with a great deal of respect.
And of course, that respect was reciprocated to the men and women of our law enforcement community here in Tennessee by the conference goers.
And I made a point to shake as many of their hands and to thank them for doing their jobs as I possibly could.
So they just did a really good job.
Very little protesters, by the way.
When I left today, I left at around noon.
A couple of people were blowing a bullhorn at me and one of those fog horns, I guess you could call it, and Nazi this, Nazi that.
One thing I will say about the diversity and tolerance crowd, they always put their best foot forward, always classy every time.
And there were a few taunts and all of that, which I received as always with my particular gregarious and good-natured retort, I guess you could say.
And I just smiled.
But yeah, so very little protesters that I saw.
Maybe more came in the afternoon, but I can tell you what, if they did, they melted.
Because if you've ever heard me complain about the summer heat, today is about the worst that a southern summer has to offer.
It is near 100 degrees, blazing hot, muggy humidity.
You just drip sweat.
There's a song, a line in the Neil Diamond song, Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show.
It gets to the point in the song where you can hear yourself sweating.
And it got pretty much at that point for anybody who even stepped outside for just a moment.
So that wasn't favorable conditions for the opposition.
But nevertheless, Bill Johnson was very diplomatic.
He said he hopes that they protest in good faith and that they remain safe and all of that.
And they have the right to do that.
We have the right to meet.
They have the right to protest.
Well, that's one thing you would expect in the America of old.
And so we don't want to rob them of their opportunity to protest.
And no more than we want to be robbed of our opportunity to gather together and practice free speech and free assembly.
Now, let's talk about some of the people who were there.
Some of the people who were there, my fellow speakers, Kevin McDonald, Virginia Abernethy, Adrian Creek.
I think I was the only person that's not a doctor on the program.
Dr. Kevin McDonald, Dr. Virginia Abernethy, Dr. Adrian Creek, Dr. Michael Hill, Dr. David Duke, Dr. Tom Sunick.
There was Bill Johnson, although he's an esquire, and a couple of others.
Tom Kaczynski was up there.
And in fact, what we're going to be doing tonight is Tom Kaczynski, the former mayor of the town in Maine.
He got replaced for not being a self-hating individual of European ancestry.
But I had the chance to talk with Tom and so many other people.
If you think the speakers were good, the faces in the crowd were just as impressive.
Don Wassell was there, the Nationalist Times cast footballs.
Don Wassell.
Oh my goodness.
I could go.
I can't do this because I'll forget some people.
There were quite a few.
Patrick Little, I met Patrick Little for the first time.
He came up and introduced himself.
He ran against Dan Feinstein just a few days ago, I believe.
And I'd never met him before.
I'd heard a few things about him.
Enjoyed having the chance to talk with him and everybody else who was up there.
But there were so many more than that.
Other people who are heroes in their own right.
And of course, just the average conference goer, men and women of the highest caliber, honest, brave, decent, good.
These are who our people are.
And I spoke about that today.
I spoke about remembering who we are and always conducting ourselves with integrity and honor to not bring shame upon ourselves or our ancestors.
And that was partially the topic that I addressed this afternoon.
But there were some of the best people from all walks of life, working class, more affluent people, all educated, though all dear to me.
And we're going to be talking with a few of them.
So just like we did with the American Renaissance broadcast a few weeks ago, I have selected about a half a dozen individuals to come on the show and share with you their thoughts and observations and takeaways from the conference.
And we're going to start rolling them out for you here in the very next segment.
So the first couple hours tonight, we're going to be recapping the Nationalist Solutions Conference, which is actually still ongoing right now.
So we'll join them live in progress.
Next.
We fought.
We learned.
We struggled.
We won.
Despite Obama's best efforts, the newspaper of the human resistance survives.
We have lived only to face a new nightmare, the war against the machines.
Read about our struggle in The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The Sovereign is a 24-page monthly tabloid newspaper about the war between man and machines.
We've tried reason.
We've tried legislation.
We've tried every peaceful means imaginable.
And all it's gotten us is shut out.
So now we fight the machines.
Order online today at thesovenews.com or find the sovereign at select newsstands.
Remember to read The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The human resistance's battle against the machines will be everlasting.
This is mercy.
It was never our destiny to stop the age of Obama.
It was merely to survive it.
Together, together.
I really don't want to talk about this, but I will.
I'm just so mad.
I didn't get asked to the junior prom and it's raining, which means by the time I get to school, I'm soaking wet.
Dad picked me up just after I left and I was so mad I got out and he said, wait, your mom said to give you this.
I forgot my lunch money and then I dropped it in the water and I was late for history.
And so at lunchtime, I had to find something on Jon Stewart Mill, which of course our library didn't have.
So I had to walk all the way down to the office to call my mom and she found something on the internet and called me back.
And Karen, she wouldn't even help me.
And that's a whole nother story.
But dad helped me conjugate nouns or whatever on the way to the swim team workout.
And then he read my history paper while I was in the pool.
And of course, I forgot the bibliography.
So I had to do that with my mother when I got home.
And it made me totally forget that I put my jeans in the washer that morning.
And I hate it when they sit wet like that all day and smell like mildew.
But my mom said she put them in the dryer while I was at the swim team.
And you know, I'm just not going to go to the prom no matter who asks me.
I just want to stay home with my mom and dad and just hang out.
Isn't it about time?
Unless Dustin asked me.
From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
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.
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.
It's time to jump back into the political cesspool to be part of the show and have your voice heard around the world.
Call us at 1-866-986-6397.
Okay, one of the things I was going to say before the break is it would be impossible for us to fire on all cylinders the way we did at American Renaissance.
Organizing six different people to call in at six different precise times while a live show is in progress is just about an impossibility.
Although we've pulled it off the last couple of times, we've tried it.
We did it on the big New Year's Eve or first show of the year.
I think we had eight different guests and everybody was where they needed to be, when they needed to be there without a hitch.
And even at Amrin, although we had some help at Amrin, we had a couple of showrunners up there.
Gene Andrews and Rich Hamblin were up there corralling everybody at the appropriate times and they were doing the work for me.
Well, sure enough, tonight, even our very first person, not where he needs to be at the agreed upon time.
So we're going to go down the phone bank here and we're going to try to get, we're going to try to get somebody else.
But I actually had a couple of other things to say about the conference, so that's no big deal.
One of the other things I wanted to say about it is that we talked about the law enforcement presence top-notch, top flight, top shelf.
Also, the planning of this was very well done.
And I'll give you just one example of what I'm talking about.
When I walked in, something that I don't believe I've ever seen in all of the conferences I've been to, which has been quite a few now, you were giving a welcome packet when you walked in.
And that packet included quite a bit of things.
It included your name badge.
It included information about the conference, the speakers, do's and don'ts.
It had a notepad and a pen for you to take notes.
It had some other giveaways, bumper stickers, brochures, just a welcome introductory packet.
And it was fabulous.
And that was just another thing that really stood out to me.
So for the first event of this kind, an American Freedom Party and a Council of Conservative Citizens joint event, the turnout was good.
The people were wonderful.
There was no dust-ups, at least into the point when I left, and I don't expect there will be even after the fact.
They're getting ready for their banquet up there right now.
I just can't sing the praises highly enough, ladies and gentlemen.
And even the media, there's been some media, of course, about this event.
Some of it, which is more than usual, some of it was objective.
I'm reading now from a Fox affiliate near Nashville.
Preparations are underway for a, well, they call it a white nationalist conference, of course.
But in Middle Tennessee, the meeting is being held Friday through Sunday.
It's a joint conference, as we just mentioned.
Speakers are expected to touch on topics of culture, identity, heritage, and sovereignty according to a registration form distributed by the groups.
All true.
It goes on to talk about some of the security procedures that have been put up.
And one of the things that I was pleased that this media outlet included in the report is a comment from a local resident that lives near the park.
And he said, while I may not agree with all of their beliefs, I respect their right to assemble and get together with like-minded people.
And it talks that this particular citizen has lived in the area for more than 20 years and he is camping in the park at the same time that the conference is going to take place.
You may not like it.
You may not agree with them, but I respect their right to do it.
I think that's the beauty of living in this country, is that we can agree to disagree on certain things, whatever that may be, whether it's politics or religion.
And this is what Bill Johnson wrote, that I saw several media outlets carrying this, and they were good enough to publish it.
So I think anybody fair enough to publish this should be.
We take issue with the media quite rightly, quite often.
But in this case, it was a little bit different, a little bit different feel.
Fox 17 News reached out to William Johnson, chairman of the American Freedom Party, and he released the following statement.
And this is what it reads, and they included this in the article.
All people should be encouraged to become politically involved and active.
Through that process, the country will move in a better direction.
People should not just sit on their hands and do nothing.
In that sense, it's a good thing that Jam City Antifa is mounting an organized protest, and if they keep it peaceful, that will be good.
We are not a white supremacist organization, and people should not use that term because it's a slur word.
In fact, it's even worse than that.
It's even worse than swear words.
It tries to turn the public against us.
We have a lot of members that are nationalists of various stripes, not just people who are white.
Everyone is encouraged to voice his or her opinion.
They should keep it peaceful, gentlemanly, and appropriate.
And I saw that in at least two or three different, that the entire statement was included in at least two or three different reports about the conference that I saw.
Now, I also saw that two of America's biggest hate groups have released statements about it.
And I think, I don't know if it was the SPLC or the ADL.
They both wrote about it.
But I'll read one of their reports.
And this is their report.
White supremacist, bigot, white supremacist, Nazi, white supremacist, racist, white supremacist, white supremacist, anti-Semite, white supremacist.
And so that was their report.
Pretty much par for the course, if you ask me.
But Bill is right.
Bill is right when he said that it was not.
Everybody there were certainly nationalists, but not everybody there was white.
And there were international guests there, including a gentleman from the Japan First Party.
And it was interesting listening to him speak.
I don't believe he can speak English, but thankfully Bill Johnson can speak Japanese.
And so while this gentleman was speaking last night, he would speak a few sentences, and Bill would translate.
And he was a very entertaining and engaging guy.
There's a member, Dominic Luthard, of the, he's the chairman of the Swiss Nationalist Party, and there were other people of international flavor there as well.
So it is good to have these events.
It is good to have these events.
It is good to come together and exchange ideas.
Solutions present themselves.
But no matter what, we cannot be forced against the wall.
When you're forced against the wall, that's when people truly do become radical in a negative sense.
We need to come and we need to vent our frustration and share our hopes and our cares and concerns with one another.
And that is what's taking place right now near Nashville, Tennessee, I should say, just about 30 minutes outside of Nashville.
And I want to say again, giving credit where credit is due to Bill Johnson and his conference organizers, Rick Tyler and Jamie Kelso, respectively, for the role that they played.
It really went off well.
If you missed it, if you missed it, you missed a lot.
And we're going to try to tell you more about it over the course of about the next hour.
And then we've got some other things we're going to do later on in the show.
We're going to get Jack Ryan on the horn for his weekly report, and then we'll shift gears again in the third hour.
But it is definitely a privilege.
As I say on the show all the time, and as I mentioned to the people today, there is a void that this program fills, and that is, of course, we give a voice to people who I think are fascinating, people who have things to say that are either completely locked out of the establishment press or at least savagely distorted with all of the hysterical name-calling.
We give a voice to those people.
And in an event like this, it is good for the people.
Of course, many people.
Many more people are listening tonight than we're at the event.
And it's good to be able to take you behind the scenes in a way that certainly no other outlet would have the opportunity to do, even if they wanted to do it.
So that's the service we're providing tonight on TPC.
So let me go back and look at my list.
We've got a handful of people here.
We will hope that we can get in touch with at least some of them before we transition off of this.
But we will do our best during the break to rally up a couple of representatives from this event and see what they have to say.
Roger Devlin was another one that was up there.
We'll see if Roger calls in.
Roger Devlin, I was talking about faces in the crowd.
That would have been every bit worthy of a speaking slot as yours truly was.
Don Wassel, Roger Devlin, another one.
You know his book, Sexual Utopia and Power.
He's a longtime writer for the Occidental Observer, the Occidental Quarterly.
But it is so good to see these people.
I commented that all of the speakers, just about all of the speakers, Virginia Abernathy, I met in 2000.
Can you believe it?
With the Buchanan Brigades of 2000, I've known dear, sweet Virginia Abernathy, who's gotten such horrible press this week.
I've known her for almost 20 years, and most of the other speakers we've been working with for well over a decade, closer to 15 years.
Always good to see old friends and old faces from Battles Past.
We're going to take a break.
Let's see who we can get on the phone.
We'll be right back.
Institution is our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.

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 a 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 Kosh Certified, 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.
And you can discover it too at thekosherquestion.com.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dine at 1-866-986-6397.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, as promised now that I've gotten my piece out of the way, we are going to go to the floor of the Nationalist Solutions Conference, which is still ongoing.
They are about to go into their banquet dinner.
And so this thing is still very much alive and kicking at the moment, although I left a couple of hours ago to get back here to run the show for you tonight.
But we are going back now to the event live on the floor.
We have my old friend and yours, Roger Devlin, a prolific writer, author of the book Sexual Utopia and Power, and much more.
He's been appearing on this show for a long, long time.
And we're happy to be able to have him on the show tonight to report his observations and experiences at the conference.
So Roger, take it away.
What most do you think should be shared with the audience?
Hey, buddy.
Jim, it's great to be talking to the political cesspool audience directly.
It's been a while, I believe.
But yeah, it's a wonderful conference.
Kevin McDonald gave a very interesting presentation on the Puritans who ruled this country between about the war of northern aggression until the Jewish ascendancy in the late 20th century.
And in some ways, paved the way for the Jewish ascendancy.
They were a very moralistic people and practiced what we call altruistic punishment on their fellow whites, demonized southerners as slave owners and so forth.
So that's what he talked about.
There are several good presentations.
Tom Sunich talked about the language that's used to control us, the terms that have very vague meaning but are highly charged either positively or negatively.
You know what I'm talking about.
Like the positive terms are things like human rights, tolerance, democracy.
And of course the negatives are racism, fascism, white supremacism, neo-Nazism.
And these are, they don't really refer to anything very specific, but they allow the, they kind of take the place of argument for our enemies and that they're used as a way of controlling us.
So he talked a lot about that.
He talked about the so-called incitement laws that are being used to lock up patriots in Europe for criticizing the government's immigration policies.
Michael Hill of the League of the South gave a very stirring presentation urging us to harden ourselves, become warriors, because it really is a kind of a war that we're in now.
And, oh, gee, I met so many wonderful people here.
I met David Duke for the first time.
That's one milestone I hit.
Really?
After all these years, I can't believe that.
That was the first time, the first time I've ever talked to him.
And, of course, I enjoyed talking to you and many other people.
We had a wonderful guy who just spoke.
His name was Chinsky, I believe.
I remember hearing his name in the news.
He was a mayor of a tiny town in Maine, did a very good job of it.
And then he went and said something like he couldn't be anti-white because the people of his town were 98% white.
And before you know it, the New York Times was there saying, you know, you're a white supremacist.
And anyway, the good people of the town didn't have the stomach for it.
And they asked him to leave.
And he eventually managed to get a $30,000 severance pay because he hadn't done anything wrong.
And he's using it now to become a full-time activist in this cause.
Yes, as a matter of fact, yeah.
Roger, I am very impressed with this guy.
He was on our show back in February, just a week or two after he was in the news for the reasons that you just stated.
I find him to be very down-to-earth, very intelligent and determined.
And anybody who can pass that test with such flying colors as he did is somebody that I think people need to keep an eye on.
And I talked to him about raising his profile a little bit higher and doing more work.
And it seems as though he is willing and committed to doing that.
And as a matter of fact, we may be talking to him on the radio here in just a bit.
But you are actually informing me as well as the entire audience because a lot of the people that you just mentioned were speakers who gave their presentations after I'd already left.
So I was very interested to know.
Yes.
Well, what did Bill Johnson, did he speak?
It looks like he was on the agenda also this afternoon.
Bill, give a talk.
He talked about his experience.
He wrote a book.
As a young man, he was living in, I think, Japan and Korea for a time and learning about those civilizations, learning the languages.
And then he wrote a book, basically, advocating a Japan-style immigration policy for the United States.
In other words, to keep it a European-derived ethno-state.
And, of course, all the heavens came crashing down upon him.
That's what started his career.
He wrote it under a pen name, and now he's full-time running this party, American Freedom Party.
So he's a presentation.
Jason Kessler also gave a brief presentation about Charlottesville.
The story of Charlottesville is not over.
There are all kinds of lawsuits underway now, some of them against Jason, some of them that he's run.
He's actually where he's the plaintiff.
And they're going to try to run another event in Charlottesville on the anniversary and avoid some of the mistakes that were made the first time.
And so we'll see what happens there.
Well, Godspeed to him.
And Roger, this is a fantastic report.
You are taking people there.
As you stand, what do you see?
As you look around the room from your current location, as you dial into the program tonight, what are you seeing?
Give us a view from your eyes.
Well, my current location is not in the conference hall because the connection's not good enough there, so I'm actually enjoying the view of lovely Montgomery Bell Park and the lake behind the park.
Well, let me ask you this.
Did the opposition ever manifest itself in a more robust way than I?
They did.
I never saw more than one or two of them.
A park ranger said that there were a total of about three.
They were here around lunchtime, and they were kept well away, just as they were at the last American Renaissance conference.
And so we were hardly aware of them, hardly aware of them.
When I left at noon, I didn't see more than a smattering, and I drove around their enclosure and didn't see very many.
But that's fine.
They had the right to do that.
Yeah, exactly.
The Rangers made sure that they could do what they had a right to do and couldn't do anything that they didn't have a right to do.
So all is well in that regard.
Well, Roger, is there anything you could say?
I don't want to offer excessive praise, but I think it is worthy of revisiting the question one more time.
I shared with the audience at the very top of the show.
I was very impressed with the integrity of the law enforcement.
Oh, yes, yes, very much so.
Yes.
Well, a final shot.
Anything else that you think the audience should know before you get back and enjoy a good dinner?
Yeah, about 175 people showed up.
For a while, they were afraid they weren't going to be able to fill it out, but we ended up getting a good crowd with a lot of last-minute arrivals.
So I think that there's going to be another one next year.
Any of your listeners who weren't able to make it this year, try to make it next year.
It's a wonderful venue, and it's a wonderful event.
If I can add briefly on a personal note, my book, Sexual Utopia and Power, has been translated and published in German, I think, since the last time I spoke to you.
And translations are underway in Swedish and Finnish.
So I'm getting around.
I'm a tailor in Europe speaking to Swedes and Finns and Germans just in last April.
And it's just wonderful to meet the comrades over there.
We have some Swiss comrades, as well as even Japanese comrades here at this meeting.
I was practicing my German along with Patrick Little with the Swiss comrades just last night.
Well, fantastic, Roger.
Congratulations on the advancement and the expansion of your book into new markets and new countries and new languages.
And you're right.
One thing that I spoke about today is that we will not be hypocrites.
We do want nationalism for all people, regardless of race, regardless of ethnicity.
But of course, we want to be able to have our own homelands where our culture is dominant as well.
Yeah.
So there's no doubt about that.
Now, Roger, I've got to ask you a favor.
When we did this at the American Renaissance Conference, we had a couple of sturdy, able-bodied men there to help me produce the program from afar.
It is sometimes difficult with so much hustle and bustle for people to remember when to call in.
Would you mind tracking down the one and only William Johnson Esquire and reminding him that he is scheduled to call in at this very moment?
He is scheduled to call in after you.
Would you mind doing that?
If you can find Bill and tell him to call, we will be standing by for his call now that you're about to leave.
And Roger, let's have you back on sooner rather than later, and we'll talk to you about all the great stuff that you're involved with.
But I am especially pleased to have had you on tonight to have you on as one of our commentators, one of our eyewitness reports from the ground.
I've enjoyed it.
Goodbye, Jim.
Thank you.
Thank you, Roger.
We'll talk to Bill Johnson next.
Okay, everybody.
Hey, he mentioned Tom Sunik.
Tom Sunick, great guy.
Tom Sunik said last night during his introduction of me that my name comes up in Europe all the time.
People ask him, have you heard of James Edwards?
Do you know James Edwards?
People that he doesn't even know, people, some people that are even liberal, that as a guilty pleasure, listen to the show, but would never admit it to their wider circle of friends, but they know they can speak freely with Tom.
Thank you to all of those who are tuned in in Europe tonight for keeping the light burning.
We'll be back.
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.

All right.
Well, we are waiting for Roger Devlin to deliver Bill Johnson to us.
Now, you're probably asking, James, why didn't you just stay there and do the show live on the scene so you could grab everybody yourself or you could stage manage the thing a little bit better?
Well, that's a good question.
There's a couple of answers to that.
Number one is the internet connection there is not the best.
As you heard, Roger Devlin couldn't even use his phone from the conference room.
The internet connection is not the best.
You are in a state park facility in the middle of the woods and you are far off the beaten path.
Anybody who's ever been to an Amerin conference there knows what I'm talking about.
And we did do an Amerin live broadcast from the grounds there a couple of years ago, and we lost connection a couple of times.
So rather than risk it, this is the path of lesser resistance.
And it worked out well with Amrin this year to do it this way.
But of course, we had Gene and Rich up there to get the job done.
But Roger has delivered.
We now have the man of the hour, the man whose support and steadfast dedication to the cause made possible this event.
Bill Johnson.
Bill, thanks for calling in.
I know you're busy up there.
What's going on right now?
Oh, we just had a wonderful group of speeches.
Your speech was wonderful.
And then everybody's speech before you left.
Then after you left, they're really, really good.
And everyone has now broken up and they're having getting ready for dinner.
But good camaraderie, good uplifting, upbeat, feeling their atmosphere.
So yeah, I'm very encouraged.
It's really fun.
We did have a few extemporaneous speeches.
Someone they called up Jason Kessler, who came up and he told his side of the story about the Charlottesville tragedy.
I guess he was one of the organizers of it.
And he was enthralling and explaining that.
Then they had this city manager from a town in very north of Maine, about a half an hour drive to the Canadian border.
And he was kicked out because he said that he did not think the Muslims should be coming into Maine.
So he was fired from his position.
And he gave a really good speech that was uplifting and explained why he did what he did.
So it was a very good meeting.
I guess you probably said we had about 150 people there.
That's what I said.
And it's really been a successful meeting.
I'm very pleased with it.
I'm glad you brought up the kids.
Let me say something about the younger people who were there.
It was this one little boy, sharp-looking young fella.
And he came up and he asked me if I would write my name on his piece of paper.
That's how he asked, I guess.
Will you write your name on my piece of paper?
But these were some of the most, I've got pretty well-behaved and good-mannered kids, and I'm proud of them, and I love them.
And they're mine, and they're the best.
But I saw kids today.
You wouldn't believe it, ladies and gentlemen.
They set up right.
They didn't fidget.
They sat at the table.
They didn't pick on each other.
They didn't grumble.
They didn't shift in their chair.
I have never seen such well-behaved children as I saw at this event.
So well-behaved children have to come from good parents and good family structures.
And that is actually one of the things.
I'm so glad you mentioned the young people who were there today.
And I'm not talking about young people as teenagers.
I'm talking about five-year-olds.
I'm talking about 10 years old.
You and I have gone to church our whole lives, and we know how little kids in church go with children of good parents.
They just are all over the place, running up and down the aisles.
These kids were sharp, well-dressed, and well-mannered.
They're good representative of the next generation.
I couldn't agree more.
That is a very important thing that I would have failed to have mentioned to this audience had you not triggered my memory on that.
But this is a fine testimony to the kind of people this reinforces what I always tell my audience about the kind of people that are in our ranks.
These are good men and women.
They are fantastic members of society.
But to have the children behave that way reinforces the truth of that statement.
So well done on bringing that up.
That was a point that needed to be made.
Now, as the conference event organizer, I'm sure you had expectations.
I was glowing in my praise of how wonderful I think the event pulled off and how though I knew it would be a good event, it couldn't be anything less with the people that you had coming.
It really exceeded all expectations from the welcome packet that was there coming in to the way the security was put in place.
Obviously, the staff at that facility are just down to earth good southern.
The staff was so warm and inviting, and they really kept the Antifa protesters, and there weren't very far many of them, apart and separate from us.
And I do have a little comment on that.
I think that protesters should be allowed to be able to demonstrate their protest to the people that are protesting.
These people were so far away that they couldn't protest.
And I thought, well, if I turn out like if I wanted to protest the South African treatment of the white farmers there, I would like to be able to have the people see my protest instead of squirrel me away in the corner.
And that was kind of nice that they couldn't bother us.
But I remember I went to a, my wife and I went to a Donald Trump rally in Phoenix.
And I thought that protest supervision was handled properly because we had to walk down the street and clear on the other side of the street where they couldn't hassle us, but they were close enough so that we could see and hear all their protests.
And we had 20,000 people going into the Trump convention.
And they had across the street, they had, you know, 5,000 people protesting.
And we had to look at them.
We had to see their protest.
But there could be no violence.
There could be no dispute.
And frankly, that's the way I like to see it run because I like my protests to be heard.
And I know that Antifa like their protests to be heard.
So I think they should do this so that whoever is protesting, they can make their free speech speech, but just so that we're not molested.
Well, Bill, you're a lot more fair and even-handed.
You're a lot more fair and even-handed than our opposition is.
And that was a killer delivery, Sam Bushman said.
And by the way, I want to praise you again, if you don't mind, for the statement that you released to the press.
I was pleasantly surprised that at least two or three outlets that had covered the conference included your entire statement, which echoed some of the things you just said about giving the opposition their freedom of speech, and we'll have ours, and everybody conduct themselves as gentlemen and be completely peaceful and law-abiding.
And this is something that makes America America.
The people that sit on their hands are the ones that we have to worry about.
The protesters, if they're looking to do what's right, eventually let them around our side.
It's the people that sit on their hands that I'm worried about.
Well, let me ask you this, Bill, very quickly.
I was about to ask this a moment ago with regard to expectations.
To me, and I've been to a lot of conferences.
You've been to a lot of conferences.
I would rank this among at the very top of those that I've been to.
I thought the attendance exceeded expectations.
I very much mean that.
What about you?
Have you had the chance to process it yet?
I know you still haven't even had the banquet dinner or the keynote yet.
So you're still very much, it's still very much fluid and evolving.
But have you realized yourself what a success this is yet?
Or do you think it'll take you a week?
Okay.
I'm looking out over a pond right now, and I can see a duck that's just gliding smoothly along.
And it looks like everything is going smooth.
But if you were to take a picture under the water, you could see that little duck's feet are just running like mad, running like mad.
And that's kind of what we were.
It was smooth on the surface, but our feet were just going all sorts of directions because, first of all, Rick Tyler organized it.
Rick Tyler quit.
Jason Clare started to organize it.
Jason Clare quit.
Jamie Kelso took over to organize it.
Jamie Kelso was fired.
Rick Tyler came on and Tom Sunik was in the mix.
And so up until this thing happened, I thought this thing is just going to be the biggest disaster.
But the credit is to Rick Tyler.
He put on a magnificent show.
And if you're ever going to get someone else to put something on, Rick Tyler, you know, he quit and he came back and he just flawlessly kept it and made it really work.
Of course, he's a little bit too strong-headed for me because he did some things that I didn't particularly want.
But I think Rick Tyler, I could highly recommend for him to put on any show so long as you give him a budget.
If he doesn't give him a budget, you're going to go way over.
But he did an excellent job.
Well, again, people don't have to see how the sausage is made.
But the fun, and I know this from having organized events, it is chaos behind the scenes.
It is the most nerve-wracking thing that I've ever put myself through in life is organizing a big conference.
And so I know the pain that goes into that, but you do get that sigh of relief once you see the fruit of your labor.
And, brother, that was on full display to me last night.
It was on full display today.
I know people are still enjoying it.
Wonderful people, wonderful turnout.
And again, at the risk of sounding repetitive, I want to applaud you and salute you here on the air for putting that together.
It was no easy thing to do.
It was a gargantuan undertaking, particularly in today's political climate with the hostile and lying press and with everything else that people have to concern themselves with to come to an event, people taking their pictures and trying to get them hurt.
But thankfully, none of that happened because we had such great security and everybody was on their best behavior on both sides, apparently.
So, all right, a final word from you, Bill, before you go back and enjoy the rest of your evening.
Well, I just think that we need to hold more of these more often, and we need to have them all around the country so that different people can come together.
We should have small meetings and larger meetings.
And then, if we have, and we get people, we give them assignments, we get them to bring their friends in.
And through this networking, we can grow and we can be a formidable force because time changes on our site.
Change is happening.
And we, as leaders, need to know how to mobilize our supporters so that we capitalize on the change that's coming and we make the change for the better for us.
And we'd like to use this outlet as a bridge between the meetings.
And we thank you for all your support, Bill, of our work here.
I thank you for putting this conference together, putting yourself through the rigors of that ordeal and process, and for having me be one of the speakers.
It was great to spend more time with you this weekend.
And I'll talk to you again soon.
Thanks a lot.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
All right.
We'll be back with a second hour right after this.
