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.
All right, folks, we are going to wrap up our coverage this hour of what I'm calling our post-4th of July spectacular when we bring the history of our nation's founding into accord with the facts.
There are two letters that I'd like to read.
Well, actually, one's an article by Hunter Wallace at Occidental Descent.
And then I've saved what I think may be the best for last.
It is an article that was written way back in 2005, but we read it.
We try to read it every year.
I know we post it every year.
It was written by Michael Perutka.
Now, if there was truly a man who represents the things that the Founding Fathers stood for, all of the good virtue, it's Michael Perutka.
What a Christian gentleman he is.
And that's why I like to read this letter.
And we're going to get to that in a second.
But first, Hunter Wallace posted at Occidental Descent this week the misery of July 4th.
This is what he writes.
And I can relate to both this article and Perutka's letter in equal parts.
Hunter Wallace, I'm usually miserable on July the 4th.
While I always enjoy the companionship of friends and family, backyard barbecues, and fireworks, I really never am in a mood to celebrate American independence.
Believe me, I know how strange this sounds to my neighbors.
I'm reminded of it every year.
I also know how foolish it is to insult the patriotism of ordinary people.
I don't fault them for their patriotism.
In fact, I wish I could share these sentiments.
It would make my life so much easier not to be completely alienated and feel like a stranger on Independence Day.
Even the southern nationalists of the 19th century were comfortable in celebrating secession from the British Empire.
I don't object to the concept of American independence if the American Revolution had never happened.
I do believe, though, that the colonies would have eventually become independent anyway, like Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
I don't object to the concept of liberty either.
No one wants to live under despotism, and liberty wasn't a social problem before it was usurped by liberalism.
That's a key point Hunter makes there.
It is easy to see why the American system seemed to work at first.
Religious dissenters in the colonies resented the established churches.
Merchants resented restrictions on American commerce and international trade.
Colonial legislators resented being subordinated to the authority of a distant parliament.
Frontier settlers resented the proclamation of 1763, which confined them to the eastern seaboard.
Americans were perfectly capable of governing themselves as an independent nation.
The founding fathers never imagined that the rhetoric of natural rights, universal liberty, and equality, tolerance, individualism, democracy, and constitutionalism would be taken to the extremes that they have been in our times by subsequent generations.
They enjoyed all these things in moderation in what was then a white republic that they created for themselves.
But the snowball started rolling in 1776 and has never ceased growing.
Their axioms have been taken to wild excess.
We live in a very late stage in the process in which these ideas have metastasized like a cancer into open borders and transgenderism.
See, that's my point.
He's hitting on my point right there.
I loved what it stood for in the beginning, but what it has become is contemptible.
Hunter wraps up his article by writing, I couldn't relax and enjoy the fourth because I couldn't shake my belief that this is how we've managed to arrive, that we have arrived in a world where Fox News spends Independence Day praising women soldiers in combat, where illegal aliens from the Democratic Republic of Congo are climbing the Statue of Liberty, and Milo is cross-dressing on Facebook.
I found it difficult to relate to the revolutionary generation who revolted over a few trivial taxes on tea and stamps.
It was precisely because colonial Americans were already so free that the Stamp Act and Proclamation of 1763 felt like tyranny.
Good points by Brad.
But I really like what Michael Perutka wrote here in 2005.
It is timeless, and so we're going to share it with you again right now.
And an article he entitled Fireworks, Gettysburg, and a Bittersweet Fourth of July.
This is Michael Perutka writing here.
The 4th of July has become a bittersweet celebration for me these last few years.
Of course, I'm thankful to God for our courageous and self-sacrificing founders and for their clarity of purpose and expression springing from their faith in Christ as ruler and sustainer of the universe.
As am I, ladies and gentlemen, as am I. Moreover, Perutka continues, I marvel at the mercy of a loving God who has been so patient with a country that has so squandered its birthright and turned its back on his law and even the acknowledgement of his existence.
I am most grateful for his mercy, though I can't conceive or measure it.
Yet I know his patience is not unlimited.
My sadness on the 4th, I think, has two sources, Perutka continues.
One is that as a people, I know we've blown it.
Our civil leaders are worse than corrupt.
They represent a perversion of government, a perversion of law, and the language of liberty.
They have called good evil and evil good.
Our Supreme Court makes up things as it goes along.
Our law schools teach anti-law.
Our judges almost exclusively are ignorant fools that think that there is no God or that they are God.
We kill our young for the sake of convenience, but it's worse than that.
All of this goes on while Christians, God people, sit around and fiddle and in some cases aid and abet the murder of the innocents.
The destruction of the liberty and the mocking of God.
Indeed, Americans and Christians are so ignorant of their own history and heritage that they don't even know who their father is.
They don't know where the landmarks are.
They have only lost their way.
They have not only lost their way, they have lost the instinct that would tell them that they are lost.
They have lost the knowledge of God, and he has given them over to their sin.
Now, listen to what Peruka writes here, ladies and gentlemen.
The best part of it to me.
The second sadness comes from the historical proximity of the defeat of the American forces at Gettysburg.
Did you hear how he referred to our Confederate forebears?
The American forces at Gettysburg were defeated.
It was on the 4th of July in 1863, after three days of brutal and desperate fighting to defend and preserve the American way of life, that American soldiers retreated through the rain in Frederick, Maryland, and slipped back across the Potomac River to the relative safety of Virginia.
I wonder what Independence Day thoughts went through the minds of these men as they marched away from that horrific scene where they and their brethren had sacrificed life and limb for the cause of American independence.
What singular faith and courage led them to continue the struggle to defend America from the growing tyrant?
Though most people living in America don't realize it, the Army of Northern Virginia, that was Robert E. Lee's army, was the last force capable of countermanding the centralized tyranny that has succeeded in undermining the concept of the Constitutional Republic.
When Lee lost at Gettysburg, no earthly force remained that could stand against the Washington Leviathan.
This growing monster would eventually murder 50 million innocent American babies, would send our daughters and sisters, along with our sons and brothers, off to die stupidly and needlessly in order to satisfy its lust for blood and power and would undermine the fatherhood of our families and seek dominion over our children, would stare at us from every street corner with its cyclops eye to make sure that we have our seatbelt buckled, would number and monitor us, and would drug our children to make sure that they grew up without any idea of what liberty means or any knowledge of the true source of law and government.
Most people living in America might not see the connection between the defeat of Lee and Longstreet and Pickett and Armistead at Gettysburg and the death of 50 million babies.
Most people in America wouldn't understand it.
In large measure, this is because most people in America have been led to think that America won that war.
But the evidence is more and more clear to me that America and our American Constitution lost that war.
But so much for sadness today.
My joy comes from the realization of the profound truth of something that was succinctly and eloquently expressed to me by my son a few years ago after one of my more memorable foul-ups.
My son looked at me cheerfully and said, Hey, don't worry, Dad.
You're still God's child.
And that boy is correct.
And on the 4th of July, God is still our father and he's still in charge.
That is why we must give thanks and continue to do our duty.
Folks, I hope that I have in some way brought all of that commentary from the first hour back full circle and giving you a little reason for hope as we move forward.
But I really love that article by Michael Perutka.
We reposted it for you.
If you'd like to read it for yourself at thepolitical Sesspool.org, we reposted it on the 4th of July, of course.
You can check it out at our website.
We'll be right back with more right after this.
If Planned Parenthood were what they publicly declare themselves to be, they would welcome transparency.
We all know why they hide because we know what they hide.
We can confirm federal judges who follow the Constitution rather than reverse engineer their preferred policy outcomes.
The truth about abortion is spreading because of advances in medical imaging, because of brave journalists, tireless activists, compassionate doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals.
The rising generation of young Americans is the most pro-life in decades because they know too.
And one day soon, we will reaffirm our nation's principles in their dignified fullness and avow once again that all men are created equal.
All are entitled to life.
Abby Johnson was once director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas.
After a moral crisis, she quit and now she campaigns against what she once endorsed.
They implement abortion quotas in all of their clinics.
What do you mean, quotas?
You have to perform a certain number of abortions every month.
One of the reasons that I left.
Are they explicit about that?
Yes, it's in your budget, right there on the line item.
One of the reasons I left Planned Parenthood was because in a budget meeting, I was told to double that abortion quota.
And for me, as someone who had spoken to the media and had said, you know, we're about reducing the number of abortions, we're about, you know, prevention, all these other services, I was shocked.
So you actually worked at a Planned Parenthood.
Give us some sense of the relative number of abortions.
Okay.
Abortions Planned Parenthood provides over 330,000 abortions a year.
They are the largest single abortion provider in our country.

And now back to tonight's show.
Well, I said my coverage of the meaning of the fourth and our nation's founding is just about over with, but we are going to hear from Jack Ryan at the bottom of the hour.
But first, one more clip from Jared Taylor.
You all like that first clip we played in the first hour, right?
Well, we got one more.
In the first clip, Jared was talking about the real meaning of all men are created equal, Jefferson's words in the Declaration of Independence.
Let's talk a little bit more, and this is another topic we touched on in the first hour.
America is not a nation of immigrants.
And in this video, Jared dissects that slogan, we are a nation of immigrants.
It's not true, and it never was.
And it's illogical to think of it as a justification of policy.
Liberals would never justify any other policy by arguing that's the way it's always been.
And of course, that's the way it wasn't always.
And it wasn't that way until the Immigration Act of 1965.
We know what kind of people the original founders wanted in.
And Jared's going to give us a little more information.
Let's go to it now.
Hello.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
We are a nation of immigrants.
It's astonishing how many people trot out this slogan as if it were a serious justification for immigration policy, as if it actually meant something.
I'm not an immigrant.
I bet you're not an immigrant either.
I guess we're just not part of the nation.
So far as I can tell, people who say we are a nation of immigrants are saying that since we have let in immigrants in the past, we should keep letting them in.
This is actually a well-known logical fallacy known as the argument from tradition.
It's like saying we've always done it this way, so we shouldn't stop.
Of course, most of the people who make this argument despise tradition and would never use it to justify any other policy.
How about basing policy on slogans that, unlike this nonsense about immigrants, are actually true?
We are a nation of male presidents.
We are a majority white nation.
The people who say we are a nation of immigrants would think it was absurd to base policy on those true statements.
But when it comes to immigration and only immigration, they are perfectly happy to let the past dictate the future.
But they are dead wrong about the past.
To be an immigrant, there has to be a country to go to.
If you settled Antarctica, would you be an immigrant?
No.
You'd be a pioneer.
Were the Jamestown colonists immigrants?
Unlike Antarctica, there were Stone Age people living there.
But they didn't welcome the newcomers with food stamps and bilingual education, did they?
About 10 days after the English chose their campsite, hundreds of Indians attacked them and tried to exterminate them.
That's worse than trying to settle Antarctica.
So, no.
The colonists were not immigrants.
Now, once there was a nation, yes, there was immigration.
From 1790 to 1820, the U.S. population grew from 3.9 million to 10 million.
That's 250% growth.
Lots of immigration, right?
Wrong.
That population increase of 6 million was almost entirely due to natives having children.
At the end of that period, only 1% of the population was foreign-born.
1%.
We were not a nation of immigrants.
And if the founders wanted immigrants, they wanted white immigrants.
The very first Congress of the United States met in 1790.
The Constitution had just been ratified.
It was a brand new country and Congress had to decide what kind of country it was going to be.
And that year they passed the very first naturalization law that restricted citizenship to free white persons.
The founders wanted a white country.
Later on, immigration did pick up, and it was immigration from Europe.
The vertical bars on this chart show the number of foreign-born people, that's immigrants, living in the country at the time of each census from 1850 all the way to 2010.
The graph line over the bars is the percentage of immigrants in the U.S. population.
By 1850, immigrants were 9.7% of the population.
The highest that percentage ever got was 14.8% in 1890, 14.8%.
15% of the U.S. population is 11 or younger.
Does that mean we are a nation of children?
And from 1910 until 1970, the percentage of immigrants dropped steadily to under 5%.
We were, once again, becoming a nation exclusively of natives.
And until 1965, we had an immigration policy specifically designed to keep the country white.
The rise you see after 1970 was a repudiation of two centuries of deliberately favoring Europeans.
It was only then that we started letting in lots of Mexicans, Chinese, Guatemalans, Haitians, Somalis, you name it, who are transforming this country and are reducing whites to a minority.
So that is the real meaning of we are a nation of immigrants.
It is a profoundly anti-white slogan for people who don't like the United States and want to turn it into something else.
It's the slogan of immigrants themselves, who naturally want the country to look more like them, and of sick white people who think it's virtuous to phase out their own people.
And there's another slogan people associate with immigration.
The Great Seal of the United States contains the Latin phrase, e pluribus unum, which means out of many, one.
It's on the back of the dollar bill.
The slogan was first proposed in 1776 to celebrate the 13 independent colonies coming together to form one country.
A lot of people think the slogan means immigration, of immigrants coming from all around the world to become one people.
Even Barack Obama thinks this.
On July 1st, 2010, he gave a speech on immigration in which he said the usual goofy stuff, that letting people in is, quote, one of our most basic American values.
And then he said this, e pluribus unum.
That is what has drawn the persecuted and impoverished to our shores.
As if ever since 1776, e pluribus unum was an invitation to the world's poor people.
There is a pro-immigration nonprofit called the Migration Policy Institute that gives out e pluribus unum prizes for initiatives in immigrant integration.
That would be like awarding a Peyton Manning Prize for economics research.
There's just no connection.
And you can be sure that those e pluribus unum prizes are not going to people who help Europeans integrate.
Europeans wouldn't need any help, would they?
And look at the title of this book, E Plurbus Unum, Contemporary and Historical Perspectives on Immigrant Political Incorporation.
These people have hijacked the motto on the Great Seal.
Just like Barack Obama, they act as if what it really meant was, we are a nation of immigrants.
So, don't fall for the baloney.
E plurbisunum celebrates 13 sovereign colonies joining to form a federal union.
It's got nothing, and I mean nothing to do with immigration.
Anyone who tells you that is either stupid or thinks you're stupid.
We are not and never have been a nation of immigrants.
And to say that we have to keep doing something just because we've been doing it since 1970 makes no sense.
The people who talk that way would never accept, just keep doing it, as a justification for any other policy.
The people who founded this country founded it for Europeans.
They would be horrified by what's being done to it.
And you should be horrified too.
Well, folks, you know, I could have ... well, I did work up some commentary to be sure.
You've heard it for the first hour and a half, but I can remember the resources of our friends.
And I remembered those two clips, and I thought that they worked in marvelously with what I was preparing for you this evening.
And so we did a little Jared Taylor clip at the first hour, then a follow-up there in the second hour.
And I hope that this helps you better understand what America was supposed to have been, and what in fact it was, to be sure, in the 1770s.
It's been a long time since then, though, since America realized her promise.
And as Perudka wrote, that promise was lost in 1865.
That's not to say that it can't be reclaimed.
We've got a lot of work to do.
We're willing to do it.
And I do have hope and I do have faith in a God more powerful than any of our enemies.
We'll be back with Jack Ryan right after this.
Stay tuned.
Dig your liberties.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
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.
Isn't this great?
Just the two of us.
No work, no interruptions, no phone, no TV.
Finally, we have a chance to just talk.
I mean, how long has it been?
Well, first of all, we should talk about your schedule.
There are a few things that could use some adjusting, but overall, I think it's going all right.
Basically, I think we're doing a pretty good job of communicating, which is good.
You're doing a really good job of letting me know how you feel about things.
I just... I want to keep the lines open, if you know what I mean.
Jerry, it's four o'clock in the morning.
What are you doing?
Oh, I was just giving Emily a bottle.
Who are you talking to?
Emily.
She's only three weeks old, and she's asleep.
I know.
I was just practicing.
Family, isn't it about time?
Isn't this great?
Just the three of us.
No work, no interruptions, no phone.
From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I'm Michael Hill, president of the League of the South.
I and my compatriots are Southern nationalists.
We seek the survival, well-being, and independence of the Southern people, our people.
The League wants a South that enjoys the sweet fruits of Christian liberty and prosperity, but our current situation won't allow it.
We must have our independence from Washington, D.C. and the globalists.
The present system cannot be reformed.
Without independence, we will continue down this path of destruction.
To us, this is not acceptable.
I'm asking you, Southern man and woman, to join us today to free the South.
Call us at 256-757-6789 or see our website at www.legueofthesouth.com.
God save the South.
It's time to jump back into the political cesspool.

Ladies and gentlemen, for all you fans of Masterpiece Theater, Jack Ryan's intro music tonight is for you.
Jack Ryan, the only member of TPC staff whose reputation is so grand that he cannot even come on the air until he has an introduction, an introductory song.
That's Jack.
And tonight his song is A Masterpiece Theater.
And I think, Jack, if I'm not mistaken, and correct me, Jack, if I'm wrong, I think you take it even further than me.
And you say you selected tonight's music because you would have actually fought for the British in the Revolutionary War.
Is that true?
But it's 4th of July.
You want people, Americans, have their Patriot Day.
But yeah, I just feel that British culture, the Declaration of Independence, it's something in the history that we do that we just start mouthing off about universal equality and making the entire world equal.
And we do this Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, Spanish-American War, that we're going to overthrow Spanish colonialism and make the American Republic.
And then we won the war and we inherited the Spanish colonies, the Philippines, so we're a colonial power.
And then World War I, Woodrow Wilson, that we're going to make the entire world safe for American-style democracy.
It's just something that we do.
We start mouthing off.
I just feel the British were much more practical at that time.
And if you read, Just imagine you're a patriotic British person in England or something, and then you find out that the Americans are rebelling, and then you find, well, what are the issues?
Why are they rebelling?
And then, well, they say, well, there are these Freemason slave owners that are mounting off about universal equality.
You're like, what?
What's going on?
I mean, Thomas Jefferson, he was a slave owner.
He was a nice slave owner.
He saw that the slaves were well-fed and housed and had Christian stuff.
But how is this guy talking that he holds his truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal?
They're endowed with the Creator with certain unalienable rights among them.
These are life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
The guy, he's all over the place.
And so this Declaration of Independence, this week, it got censored on Facebook because including those, we also list grievances of the King of England, and it says that he's excited domestic insurrections amongst us and he's endeavored to bring us on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages whose own rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions, which is true.
They were slaughtering settlers and things like that.
So Declaration of Independence got censored by Facebook because it's racist itself.
But I just feel he's all over the map.
So that's sort of my view on the 4th of July.
And we want people to be patriotic, but I just think it's, you know, it's kind of like something that happened.
And I sort of take the pro-British view.
I take the pro-Confederate view in the Civil War.
So I'm kind of taking other sides.
Well, Jack, of course, we were talking about this for the entire show up until this point.
And in the third hour, we're going to transition into different topics and some current event news.
But I would say a couple of things in response to you.
And I think I've already said it earlier in the show tonight.
Number one, it's clear that what Jefferson was talking about in the all men created equal, he was talking about the colonists were equal to the king in terms of their rights.
He wasn't talking about all humanity is biologically and intellectually equal.
So that's been misused and perverted by subsequent generations.
But if you start saying that it only applies to British noblemen and that British American noblemen should be equal to British noblemen, it's kind of a petty type of deal.
I just feel that Washington and Hamilton are much more practical.
They didn't have the when does it come down to the American Revolution and the French Revolution?
They're pretty close, but the slaughter, the reign of terror, I think it happened after the Declaration of Independence.
So people were practical after that.
Well, we should definitely make a point to say that these people were not infallible.
We don't worship our founders.
I do respect them.
I do respect them greatly.
But they were a little drunk on the Enlightenment Kool-Aid that was going around at the time.
There was a little bit of that, certainly, that had its damaging effects.
But you also made an interesting statement a second ago.
Britain at that time, you might have sympathized a little more with Britain at that time than some of our revolutionary forebears may have been.
I will say this, as bad as America is today, Britain is worse.
Britain is worse.
I mean, it is called Cuck Island for a reason, and they don't have, I mean, if me and you were in London, we'd be in jail with Tommy Robinson right now, Jack.
And so they don't have the First Amendment.
They don't have the Second Amendment.
There were a lot of good things that came from our founders.
And of course, a lot of our founding, their intentions have been, as we mentioned, perverted.
So Britain is worse.
I got to agree with you on that one.
And I would also just say that Orwell said freedom is the ability to say that two plus two equals four.
That's just basically in math.
But I would say that freedom is the ability is to have a beer and enjoy a joke.
And right now in England, you cannot tell a joke.
They've banned Monty Python because it's politically incorrect, that they don't have enough diversity on their stuff.
And Monty Python, there was so much great British English television in the 70s.
Masterpiece Theater, Monty Python, the two Ronnies, Benny Hill, just brilliantly funny.
And it's not, I mean, it's a little bit, you know, racy, but it's not vulgar.
It's not embarrassing.
And the idea that you can't tell a joke or enjoy life.
So that's the same thing.
A lot of people say that, you know, why aren't these leftists on the same team?
Why is the Taliban and ISIS and these eighth-century Islamists on the same side as politically correct, feminist, homosexual extremists?
It's because they're just no fun.
They won't let anyone enjoy life or just see an attractive woman.
And so that's basically the division that I have: the people who can enjoy life, say yes to life, who can read good books and can just enjoy a joke.
So that's my position.
And I'm standing up on my right to have a beer and enjoy a joke, including Monty Python.
And I don't care if it's politically incorrect.
Well, Michael Hill last week, and I appreciate what you said just then, Jack, and I agree with it all.
Michael Hill was talking about, no, it wasn't last week, it was two weeks ago.
June was such a blur.
It was two weeks ago.
Hill was on the show.
I was down at the League of the South broadcasting live last week, but Michael wasn't a part of that broadcast because he was tuckered out.
But we had a great time last week, by the way, on the air and at the event.
But Michael Hill said when he went to Scotland to research his thesis, that his ancestral memory called him.
As soon as he got off the plane, he felt like he was at home.
And I certainly appreciate a lot of the history that comes from what is now known as the United Kingdom.
Now, I'm a Scots-Irishman, having people that have come from Scotland down to the south and settled this part of the world.
And so the area now known as the United Kingdom, of course, Scotland, Wales, England, and what am I missing?
Ulster.
Ireland.
Ireland.
Yeah, Northern Ireland Ulster is the only one that's part of the country.
Correct.
Yes, you're right.
You're right.
Well, and of course, the difference between being a Scotsman and an Englishman is like the difference between being from Tennessee and Mississippi.
I mean, it's not a Cuck Island is not very big.
And so, yes, I mean, I look back.
I love that.
Even though I'm a Scott, you know, I've got the Scots heritage.
I'm sure there's some English in there somewhere.
And I really appreciate the fact that the sun never set.
There was a time when the sun never set on the British Empire, when they were a nation of men, when they were a nation of men to be emulated, a men to be feared.
I mean, I look back on some of that history prior to even the war, the Revolutionary War.
It's a magnificent history.
It's history, and it's not that long ago.
Say about 95 years ago, the Holy Land was run by people like you and I, English-speaking British people.
And you could hear Hannah's Messiah in Jerusalem.
You could hear William Break Jerusalem.
And then we lost that.
They lost all of India.
They lost all their beautiful African colonies except for South Africa, which they're losing it now.
And so I talked to some people like, what does the British Empire have left?
Well, they got the Falkland Islands and a car park in Jordan.
And so they London is surrounded by Pakistani nasty people.
Murder rates higher than New York.
First time since 1800, the murder rate in New York City, in London, is higher than New York City.
And they just have mostly Africans and West Indians with knives killing people and blank.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, see, that's the thing.
I mean, we talked about – I'm sorry to talk over you.
I mean, you're getting me going.
No, we talked about we have a First Amendment and a Second Amendment that they don't have, but it is so bad.
We talked about the sun never setting on the British Empire.
Now they don't even control.
They don't even control the streets of their capital anymore.
The British people do not even control the streets of London.
And not only that, it has gotten so bad.
You have to be over 21 to buy kitchen utensils in the UK now.
You can't even go and buy a steak knife without having being 21 or over, I believe, something crazy like that.
We'll be back.
We'll be back.
Jack's two segments tonight.
Jack, more Jack, when we come back.
Back to the political cesspool right after these messages here on the Liberty News Radio Network.
A nation conceived in liberty, carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens.
Can a country founded on God-given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our Creator?
As a physician, I have looked into the eyes of one-pound babies.
I have cradled their small bodies in the palm of one hand.
I defy those who are careless, who would disregard life and look at these tiny little miracles and say, we're not going to protect that.
But I believe there will come a time when we are all judged on whether or not we took a stand in defense of all life from the moment of conception until our last natural breath.
One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life.

Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, Jack Ryan does like to pull out the old Imagine song by John Lennon, which is such a pretty song but such a horrible message.
I mean, it is a good tune with good music and it's just such a disastrous message to be applied in a society, and I think that I think Jack may be applying that song tonight at the application of the Declaration Of Independence as it has been applied by our contemporary society.
Am I right in interpreting that, Jack?
Yeah yes yes, you are.
So I want that to be one of my theme songs, but other people can use it just whenever you're around.
Some just ridiculous, wild-eyed utopian, liberal or sadly, just the same.
These libertarian, these Ron Paul, Rand Paul, who come out and say that any person in the world who wants to come to the United States and work should be encouraged and like.
And so we've got a new international bad guy.
There's so many of them.
But the new Mexican president that was just elected, the Institutional Revolutionary Party I was at for an Axiomoron.
Okay, he said soon, and very soon, upon the triumph of our movement, we're going to defend the migrants of Mexico, Central America and of all the Continental Americano and all the migrants of the world who, from necessity, have to leave their pueblos towns villages people, stations and go to seek a life in the United States.
It is a human right that we are going to defend for all Mexicans and for the migrants.
So he's basically saying that any, any single person, entire world, has some unalienable right to move to the United States, and this is a view supported by this liberation theology.
Pope Francis, and we've got these people.
So I like to use that song as sort of a theme that says to let you know that you got one of these people in your midst and you got to expose them and you got to.
You got to uh, you can't fall for it, you can't, you can't drink this kool-aid, because this will be the death of our people, of our civilization.
So no, we don't.
We're not going to do the.
John Lennon imagine and he's as big a hypocrite as Thomas Jefferson, because when Lennon wrote that he was living in the Dakota, on Central Park West in Manhattan, in New York City, he's telling people to give up all their possessions.
He's living one of the richest streets and buildings in the world.
So he's just, he's just A total BSer, and it's a pretty tune, but the song is just ridiculous.
And so that's what I'm exposing.
I agree a thousand percent, Jack.
I think you're a little hard on Thomas.
I think you're a little hard on Jefferson.
I'll tell you what, I think Jefferson over anybody we got today by a country mile.
I actually want to say something on the air while you're here with us, Jack.
I actually texted this to Jack during the commercial break, and Eddie DeBometer Miller's in the studio now.
He's going to be mic'd up and come on with us in the third hour.
He's got a lot to tell folks and update everyone on his condition.
But I texted Jack during the commercial break.
I look forward to Jack's segment every week.
Now, I do.
And I want you to know, Jack, what a welcomed addition you are to our program.
And of course, well, I mean it.
And we rekindled our association at our anniversary conference last October here in Memphis.
And it was shortly after that that you became a minted weekly correspondent.
You haven't missed a week since, unless I think with rare exception, with rare exception, you've been on every week since late last fall, and the show is better for it.
And I just want to thank you again, Jack.
Oh, thank you.
Taking the time to do it.
I mean it.
I mean, it's Saturday night, and you're with us live every Saturday night to come on the radio, taking time out of a night when most normal people are out having time with family and friends, and you're here doing the Lord's work.
But let's get to we extended your play tonight for two segments as opposed to your normal one segment.
And we got to get to those recommendations.
So you're our cultural correspondent.
You come in to add some culture to the program by music, by literature, and by film.
So let's go one by one through the recommendations as Jack prescribes them.
Okay.
Well, my book recommendation is a history book by an English-British historian, Paul Johnson, Modern Times, the World from the 20s to the 90s.
Paul Johnson is just a good historian, and he's a mentor now of Nick Jagger for all things.
But his views of history are quite excellent.
He does take the kind of the British pro-World War II that it was good and it was great between good and evil.
Then everything fell apart.
But his sections are particularly on decolonization in Africa and Algeria and the Mau Mau and just idiots of the United Nations.
He is a chapter, the Bandung Generation.
I think it's one of the best.
So that's my book recommendation.
My film recommendation is a book.
I think it's in a movie from the late 80s, maybe 90s, The Gods Must Be Crazy.
And it's set in Botswana.
It's about some British South Africans, a teacher, a girl, a teacher, who's very pretty, and then a scientist that's out there.
And the story is that some pilot just drops this Coke bottle into this Bushman community, and they use it.
It's good for smashing vegetables and things, but they people start fighting over it and it causes dissension.
And so this Bushman thinks he's got to get rid of that.
The gods made a mistake, that they gave him this thing, and he has to go to the end of the world and throw out this Coke bottle.
It's romantic, it's funny.
It's a great movie.
One of my favorite.
All right.
Well, there they are, ladies and gentlemen.
And what about the song?
Was it Masterpiece Theater?
Was it Imagine?
You had two tonight.
Well, yeah, for those two, I like the Masterpiece Theater song.
I don't know who did that.
It was the actual.
It wasn't Handel, but it just presents that Britain of pomp and circumstance and glory and kings and the Raj and just England at its best.
And so Alistair Cook, he went back and forth.
He would explain England and Britain to Americans, and you would explain America to English and British people.
And it's just it just brings back a time of civilization, really intelligent, educated, civilized people, great writers.
That time is so fantastic.
So a lot of American stuff, we copy the English.
We copy their sports.
And all I should get it wrong.
We make the wrong name.
We call soccer.
We call our version of rugby football.
When we just made it wrong, it was rugby, and then we named it being football.
People that use their feet in American football are as the field goal picker or pundits.
We just got it wrong.
We copy English.
Our universities look like Oxford and Cambridge.
And I really think that a lot of the independents was just jealousy that we were considered not as good as their nobles.
And so that.
But I love that Masterpiece Theater.
Well, you know, someone...
You know what that...
It reminded me a little bit of a show I watched with my grandmother all the time.
At least the music, the music did.
Murder She Wrote.
Murder She Wrote actually has a great opening little diddy with Dame Angela Lansbury, who is now, I believe, in her 90s, but still alive, Dame Angela Bridget Lansbury.
And I remember watching that with my grandmother.
But I don't know who it was who told me this.
Somebody told me it recently, the reason we drive on the opposite side of the street of the British is because we purposely did that to be as different from them as we could.
So who knows what it was.
But I got to tell you very quickly, Jack, a little preview of what's coming up in the third hour.
Bombader Miller back in the satellite.
Everybody, I say everybody, nearly everybody at the League of the South conference that I talked to asked me about Eddie because they had heard that he was injured.
He's going to give everybody an update on his condition.
And TPC is back in the Washington Post this week.
There was one day in 2016, we were in the Washington Post in three different articles on the same day.
So they've been covering us for years.
And it's always been horrific coverage.
But somehow, someway this week, we were mentioned in the Washington Post as a populist conservative radio program.
We're going to talk about that in the third hour.
But first, first, Jack, one quick thing I can shoehorn here for with what's going on in Europe.
Richard Spencer was expelled from Europe again this week.
And so I said it does look like Europe actually does know how to expel people.
That's fantastic.
Now its leaders should start applying the practice on people who are actually harming their nations and get to work on that.
I mean, Richard was identified, detained, and expelled within minutes.
So it shows that it can be done.
I don't know if we should be encouraged or discouraged by this news, but you got the last minute, Jack, of this segment.
Richard Spencer sent back home.
Now, Richard has been a longtime friend of mine, too.
I'm like the Roddy McDowell of the alt-right, I guess you could say.
Roddy McDowell was, except I'm heterosexual.
Roddy was said to have known everybody in Hollywood, and everybody knew Roddy, like a Nexus.
Even the SBLC has called me a Nexus.
So I've known Richard for a long, long time.
The first time he was expelled from Europe, we had him on the show.
I think it's getting routine now.
But my takeaway was it shows they can expel people when they want to.
Now let's get cracking on the people that should be expelled and other people who shouldn't.
All right, Jack, just seconds remaining.
Your take on this story.
It's been all over the news this week.
Yeah.
I mean, but what they try to do is that they're trying to say, well, we're against both bad people, these Islamic terrorists that murder hundreds of people at a pop concerts and also these terrible, alt-right, you know, racist people.
And they try to, so it's sort of like there's an equality between them.
Conservatives are going to do this a lot.
So you got to watch that.
We've got to defend our rights, and we've got to defend our people.
And things are looking good, I think, in Central and Eastern Europe.
Fantastic.
The soccer game today between Croatia and Russia was one of the best ever.
Good sportsmanship.
Good teams.
They're not mercenaries from Algeria or Africa.
They played well.
The crowd was great, enthusiastic, pretty women, and yeah, all the last six finalist teams.
I don't know what happened in today's action, but the last six finalist teams were all teams from Europe.
It's the first time since 1982 that's team.
But other than that, you know, our teams did very well.
Good sportsmanship.
Usual, it's nice.
Sports works for us.
Jack.
And it's just we're out of time.
We'll find out who wins the World Cup before next week, I guess.
