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 Edward.
Much wisest and smile.
Goodbye to you.
I've traveled the world to learn from Russia with love.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to tonight's live broadcast of TPC.
It's Saturday, July 21st.
It's hot, and we're going to try to turn up the heat for you on the radio dial just a little bit this evening, if that's okay with you.
And as you heard from the opening music tonight, we are going to be talking extensively about the Trump-Putin Summit in Helsinki, Finland that took place just a few days ago.
And to help me do that, we're going to welcome back to the program this evening Henrik Palmgren of Red Ice Radio and TV fame.
Henrik Palmgren will be back to talk about Trump, Putin, and other related topics.
So that's coming up in just a minute.
In fact, in the very next segment of the first hour, Henrik will be with me for the remainder of the hour.
And the second hour, Jack Ryan, is going to be on the World Cup.
That's another big thing that happened.
Not so big in terms of the sport.
I don't follow European soccer, but there were some interesting takeaways from that that Jack's going to bring to our attention.
And we were going to talk about it last week, but we had such a busy show with Jesse Lee Peterson.
What a fantastic hour that was.
And of course, Tom Kaczynski in last week's second hour.
Busy show last week, busy show this week, busy show every week.
But yes, Jack will be on to talk about how the African national team beat Croatia in the World Cup championship and much more.
And in fact, coming this evening on TPC.
I want to tell you very quickly, though, about an interview that I did a couple of days ago, and it's up now on YouTube.
I sat down with a young man named Matthew Drake who wanted to talk to me about how the local association of the Southern Baptist Convention arbitrarily removed my church from its directory after my pastor refused to expel me as a member.
Now, you know all about this story.
We've been talking about it off and on for the last couple of months.
And of course, my rhetorical warring with the Southern Baptist Convention and its leaders has been going on for a couple of years now, at least.
At least.
But it was an interesting interview.
And Matthew Drake is an up-and-coming young guy.
He's been doing his YouTube channel for about two years, building a nice following there.
Matt actually came down to TPC's anniversary conference last year, and I got to meet him for the first time, although I didn't know he had this show until more recently.
But he is a good representative of our cause.
I remember what it was like being young and just two years into TPC quite a while ago.
And it's always nice to be able to work with other people who are visionaries and are doing good work and are just getting started.
So it was a fun interview.
I don't give a lot of interviews.
I decline most interview requests.
But this one I gave, and I'm glad I did.
And so we're going to post that up to thepoliticals, Pool.org on Tuesday.
But you can find it now.
Don't do it right now during our live show, but maybe after the show or even tomorrow.
You can go to YouTube, type in James Edwards, Matthew Drake, and it should come up.
But if that's too difficult, it'll be up for you at thepoliticalspool.org on Tuesday.
I think it's an interview that is a must-see for any fan of TPC.
Now, speaking of the incident with the Southern Baptist Convention, I told you a couple of articles have been written recently, even in the last 10 days, on that whole situation.
We read part of the article last week that was written by Adam Gray for FaithandHeritage.com.
And what was the name of that article, just for reference sake?
I don't have it in front of me here in my notes at the studio.
Southern Baptists Drown in Their Own Virtue Signaling.
That was July 8th, 2018.
It's an article that centered around my war with the SBC, written by Adam Gray.
We covered that last week.
I told you there was another article that we didn't have time to cover last week, but we would cover it this week.
So I'm going to cover it for you real quick before we welcome Henrik Palmgren to the show.
White Christians Should Feel Guilty.
Now, this is written by someone who goes by the pen name of dissident mama.
Very interesting lady.
She is a former, she describes herself as a recovering feminist, socialist, atheist, and retired mainstream journalist, turned domesticated, bell, and rabble-rousing rhetorician, a mama who's adept at triggering statists.
She's an Orthodox Christian now, Southerner, wife, mother, fantastic lady.
I've had some exchanges with her.
But she writes, The White People Got Work to Do slogan is a guilt-ridden group think bludgeoned and has become an idol for much of mainline American Christianity.
The people of color are perpetual victims mantra is near sacrament that must be bowed down to or else.
Just ask James Edwards, host of the Political Cess Pool.
He's long been warring on social media and on his radio show with prominent Southern Baptist pastor Dwight McKissick and other SBC bigwigs.
The self-described paleoconservative has become a lightning rod for interviewing controversial personalities and defending such unpopular notions as private property rights, secession, political decentralization, and military non-interventionism.
Gasp, she writes.
But what was Edwards' unforgivable sin?
He believes in white pride, advocates for the white family, and is unapologetically pro-Southern, you know, cultural kryptonite in these enlightened times.
Now, some or all of that might not be your cup of tea, but are there any legitimate reasons to disfellowship Edwards and his entire congregation without even so much as a phone call to his pastor or anyone else in the church?
The political purge was carried out covertly without discussion, deliberation, or even a vote, which is further explained by the hateful and divisive Southern Poverty Law Center.
Edwards is not, nor has he ever been, a member of the Klan, as some assert, but with plenty of establishment Christian leaders such as McKissick joining with and promoting the Leninist Marxist Black Lives Matter movement, would these evangelicals even have a leg to stand on if Edwards was a Klansman?
I think not.
After all, BLM's blacktivism is geared towards freedom and justice for black people and seeks empowerment for the global black family, yet curiously aims to, quote, disrupt the Western prescribed nuclear family, end quote.
Huh?
Double standard much.
For people who incessantly talk of their quest for Christian authenticity, evangelistists sure do like to pray at the altar of forced diversity.
What can be any more artificial than the racial and gender quotas quotas like the ones McKissick and J.D. Greer, new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, have endorsed for their denomination.
Folks, that is just the opening salvo, the tip of the iceberg of this opus of a piece that this lady had been working on since June.
She started writing it in June, and she sent it to me when it was finally finished, and it is well worth the read.
So you can go once again to thepolitical sessible.org and click on the entry.
I believe we posted it on Thursday, White Christians Should Feel Guilty.
And you can read the opening remarks there, and then you can click there to read the rest of the story or go to dissidentmama.net, if you will.
Okay, well, that's the latest.
New interview up on YouTube with Matthew Drake.
New article out by Dissident Mama.

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 some of my silver gold?
We don't have any gold at the house.
It's stored safely in the UPMA vault, securely and insured.
But the SP 500 outperformed gold.
Daddy, gold is a bad investment.
Some people do think of it that way, but actually, gold is money.
And as members of the United Precious Metals Association, we can use our gold at any store, just like a credit card.
Or I can ask them to drop it right into Mommy and Daddy's bank account.

Well, our featured guest tonight really needs no introduction, but for the sake of those who may be tuning in for the first time, we'll go through the motions.
Henrik Palmgren, born in Sweden, he was, the land of the Goths.
He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Red Ice, most well known as the host of Red Ice Radio.
He produces all the content on Red Ice, including most of the music, graphics, and animations.
He is also the co-host of Red Ice Live, including The Weekend Warrior, a live TV show for members.
Henrik is concerned, as we all are, with European heritage and culture and counteracting the globalists seeking to destroy it.
As I mentioned a moment ago, he's returning as my guest this hour to talk about the Trump-Putin Summit and other related topics.
I count Henrik and Lana as very dear friends.
They are wonderful people, certainly worthy of your support.
It's always a pleasure to collaborate with them, whether it's here on their platform or anywhere else.
Henrik, welcome back.
Hey, James, how's it going?
Thank you so much for having me back, and it's good to hear from you again.
Well, thank you.
Thank you, my friend.
Good to hear from you.
As always, well, I know you've been covering this with great interest, and we've been monitoring it as well, now getting our first chance to take a stab at it since the meeting actually took place.
My initial reaction was that, of course, Putin should be our greatest ally, and Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize.
If Martin Luther King won a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing riots to every city he marched in, surely Trump at least did that much with his meeting.
I thought it was, I thought, Henrik, without being overzealous and without getting too high or too low, we like to be even killed here.
I think it was probably the one thing Trump has done since he's been president that reminded me of exactly why I invested so much hope in him as a candidate and why I cast my vote for him in 2016.
What was your takeaways from the meeting?
Yeah, definitely.
And I missed it.
Just let's flash back to Obama a little bit.
He actually won the Nobel Peace Prize after dropping Afghanistan.
Yep.
And what did he do?
What did he do?
Trump has single-handedly now gotten in touch and met with the North Korean leader.
And it seems the relations was actually pretty good on that front.
He's met with Putin.
He's on numbers occasions have voiced his concern about why should we be enemies with Russia?
Is it not better if we are at peace with them and have a better relationship with them?
And it looks like the liberal world order, the Democrats and the opposition, this so-called resistance to Trump, is more eager to start another world war with the largest nation on earth, Russia, geographically speaking.
And of course, they also have about 150 million people.
Imagine a war between America and Russia.
It would be total chaos, especially for the European people, of course.
It's insanity.
No more brothers' wars.
That's something that gets repeated often in our circles, and it's something that needs to be remembered because demographics are not going the right way.
And wouldn't it be wonderful for those who hate us if we would wipe out another several million?
You think of the millions that died at Stalingrad alone in that horrific battle.
What a waste.
Of course, our interpretation of the meeting wasn't shared by the elites who are in the camp of the people that we were just making mention of.
John McCain, I guess he came off of chemo long enough to say that Trump gave one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.
The New York Daily News had a headline in their newspaper, all capital letters, open treason, with a picture of Trump assassinating Uncle Sam, shooting him in the head.
And another media outlet said this was, it was the darkest day in American history.
The darkest day in American history.
So that is the response by the political elite and by the lying press.
They are the truly, of course, the treasonous enemy of the people and not Donald Trump.
But your reaction to the reaction of those people.
Yeah, I just, I don't, I don't get it.
Well, I do.
I do get it, of course.
I mean, they have spun the Russian narrative so hard and for such a long time that it's an impossibility for them to back down.
They have to just put pedal to the metal, as they say, and full throttle.
They have to continue pushing this forward.
And despite the fact that the narrative has started to kind of collapse really the last few months, and there was, you know, remember that the memo was released, they initiated investigations both into the FBI and the Department of Justice.
This is when all this, you know, the Peter struck material and all that kind of stuff came out.
So, you know, in terms of what Trump said at the summit, where he talked, basically, in a way, not really, but he kind of he said, I have respect for Putin.
And he told me in very strong terms that they were not behind any collusion or meddling.
And, you know, one of the criticisms Trump got was because he basically said he didn't trust some of the intelligence services and stuff like that.
And the fact is he's actually absolutely right to do that.
That's what Peter struck.
And his little, quote, secret society, which was, you know, kind of released in some of those messages, actually were working towards.
They're working against Trump.
It shows that there are people within the FBI, within the Department of Justice, intelligence services basically have insiders that are working against Trump.
And they've been helping to spin this narrative.
So I think Trump did the right thing, which is he respects Putin as a leader, it seems like.
And he, I mean, I don't know if any worldly they should take the word blindly by any other leader in that way, but he obviously wants to have a good relationship with Putin.
And so what Putin said is absolutely great.
Prove it that it happened.
There needs to be tangible proof brought to the table once and for all.
We're settling a court of law that doesn't involve allegedly or assertions or this person said this or this person has this contact and stuff.
And to me, as I've been looking at all of this, including this news story of Maria Putina, this alleged sex spy that's like apparently had this amazing, you know, back-end access to the GOP and stuff like that.
All of that is just extremely circumstantial.
It begins to fall apart when you actually look very much closer to it.
But again, the media has been spinning this so hard, and there's everyday stuff coming out about it.
It's smoke and mirrors everywhere.
And people therefore have to assume that there is a fire somewhere.
And it's actually very hard to reach people who are so blinded by the mainstream and by this Trump hatred that they cannot see that, you know, he generally is trying to improve relationships.
But Russia is the mortal enemy, and they are the most dangerous power and country now in the world.
And so people are completely paranoid.
It's hysteria, James.
When we come back in the next segment, I want to get into and transition into, you mentioned her name just a moment ago, this video you've been working on.
I want to give you a chance to tell the audience a little bit more about that and how they can learn more about that.
But first, I want to read a couple of passages.
Pat Buchanan's most recent two columns dealt with the summit.
One was entitled Trump Calls Off Cold War II.
The second column was entitled Trump Stands His Ground on Putin.
We're going to get to those in the next segment.
Then we're going to get to your latest video.
But again, with regard to the press, I just got to put this one little dig in.
The press, the press, you never want to interrupt your enemy while they're making a mistake, but for the press to continue to pile on Trump so transparently, I mean, it's so transparent that they're not even feigning objectivity here.
They have an agenda.
They're unreasonable.
But they don't call it the lying press for nothing.
This is pretty incredible.
At least 21 United States newspapers ran identical letters to the editors, all with different signatures, opposing Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, a few days ago.
So what I'm saying is the exact same letter to the editor, signed by 21 different fake names, appeared in 21 different newspapers.
We're talking about some of the biggest newspapers in the country.
So that's not related to the topic at hand with Russia, except to illustrate the lack of credibility that the press has.
Before we get a break, and the music's going to start any moment, did it dawn on you, Henrik, that this summit took place the very same week of the 100th anniversary of the Jewish-led Bolshevik assassination of Tsar Nicholas and the Romanov family?
Did that coincidence or?
Yes, I don't know.
You know, some people said that the elite, they know their numbers.
They are very into symbolism.
And for those who have eyes to see, as they say, and ears to hear, they will pick up on these signals.
And I think there's something to it.
I don't know what the message of that point yet is, but I do think it has significance.
If nothing else, it's an interesting coincidence.
But I wanted to work that in there very quickly as well.
Well, folks, Henrik Palmgren is our guest, and what a guest he is.
Red Ice TV, Red Ice Radio.
We're going to be back with more Henrik talking about Trump, Russia, and other related topics.
We're going to transition into a few other things before the end of the hour.
So you don't want to miss a minute of it.
We'll be right back.
Proclaiming liberty across the land.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
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.
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.
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.leagueofthesouth.com.
God save the South.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dine at 1-866-986-6397.
We're back with Henrik Palmgren of Red Ice, and before the end of the hour, we're going to be sure that Henrik gives you all the information to where you can follow their platform of programming and support their work.
Nobody does it better than what they do over there at Red Ice.
Now, I was browsing through some articles during the break, and I saw a new one from Hillary.
Hillary calling the Trump-Putin meeting alarming.
What is the matter with these people?
Pat Buchanan sees it right, though.
And it was interesting as I was listening to some of the things Henrik said in the previous segment, he touched on some realities that Buchanan noticed as well.
So what I'm going to do here, Henrik, is just read a couple of excerpts from Pat's two most recent columns, get your response to that, and then we're going to move on to some other things.
This one from the article entitled Trump Calls Off Cold War II.
Buchanan writes, beginning his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin, President Trump declared that U.S. relations with Russia have never been worse.
He then added pointedly, that just changed about four hours ago.
It certainly did, Buchanan continues.
With his remarks in Helsinki and at the NATO summit in Brussels, Trump had signaled a historic shift in U.S. foreign policy that may determine the future of this nation and the fate of his presidency.
He has rejected the fundamental premises of American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War and blamed our wretched relations with Russia, not on Vladimir Putin, but squarely on the U.S. establishment.
If Russian military intelligence hacked into the emails of the DNC exposing how they stuck it to Bernie Sanders, Trump says he did not collude in it.
Is there, after two years, any proof that he did?
Trump insists Russian meddling had no effect on the outcome in 2016, and he is not going to allow media obsession with Russia Gate to interfere with establishing better relations.
Former CIA Director John Brennan rages that, quote, Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki was treasonous.
He is wholly in the pocket of Putin.
Republican Patriots, where are you?
End quote.
Buchanan wraps up this column by writing, as Patrick Henry said long ago, if this be treason, make the most of it.
And Henrik, that's what I want to get to you.
Treason.
Now, that is a very strong word.
Treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors under the Constitution, these are the four offenses for which presidents can be impeached.
And to hear our elites, Trump is guilty of them all.
Congressman Steve Cohen, a member of Congress, writes, where is our military?
The commander-in-chief is in the hands of the enemy.
So now you have a United States congressman essentially signaling that he would like to see a military coup because Trump seeks to have improved relations with the other great superpower in the world.
Take it away, Henrik.
Yeah, and the same thing, you know, in CNN, Philip Mudd, I think his ex-FBI was talking, he's an analyst with CNN right now.
He's talking about the shadow government must move in here and basically topple Trump.
There needs to be a coup, then he needs to be removed away.
There's journalists and these high officials in the government that are talking about this is an act of war and they even compare it to Pearl Harbor.
Imagine that.
This is like bombs are dropping and American ships and military men are dying because Trump is being tossed a football by Putin in Helsinki.
It's unbelievable.
So they're completely nuts in terms of what they want to do.
But I still want to get to that point of what is the crime, right?
What is the actual crime that not only Trump has done, but also even what Putin himself has done?
It seems the crime is just actually about wanting to have a better relationship with Russia.
Even in the case of Maria Butina, it seems to be kind of similar, actually, that she seems to be at this point, if you ask me, looking at the sword a little bit, she seems to be an individual that truly was actually interested in diplomacy.
And her dealings with trying to meet with like NRA members and things like that was actually kind of, not that the effort weren't, you know, honorable, but it was kind of sad because it was in a very low, small level.
For example, she went to like this youth camp for young Republicans in South Dakota.
And as the New York Times writes about this, that they equate to infiltrating high-up GOP officials and stuff like that.
So there's like, you know, there's nothing there, but her crime seems to be, and, you know, she's now going to probably like a convicted Russian spy.
She's probably going to sit in jail or something like that.
Who knows what her fate is going to be?
But her crime seems to simply be wanting to have better relations between Russia and America, seeking diplomacy and trying to set up a dialogue and a meeting between the presidents.
This was not successful, of course, but if this is what she truly wanted to do, and let's assume that there were other people in Russia at the time that wanted to have that dialogue as well, wouldn't that be the sensible thing to do when you want to achieve good diplomatic channels?
You want to try to have peace instead of war, and you want to try to counteract the hysterical media in the West that are so anti-Russian that Russia would obviously have this as their interest to try to reach someone within the American government who they can speak to, who they can communicate with and say, let's have a dialogue.
Let's open this up.
But that alone, that act alone has now been seen.
That is seen as the crime itself, James.
I mean, it's hysteria.
I come back to that term again, but I don't understand.
Have you been able to understand what the actual crime is that Putin actually has done beyond having a regular healthy approach to his own nation to look after his national interests and stuff like that?
No, of course not.
There is no crime.
Even if, even if, let's just give them the benefit of the doubt, which they don't deserve.
But let's just say Putin did everything that they say he did.
It would still be nothing.
You don't think that Israel knows everything that's going on?
You don't think Israel has a far greater amount of collusion and control over what's going on in the American government than Putin and Russia ever did?
I mean, this is absolutely nothing, even if it were all true.
But of course, what they want is they're scared to death that America may join forces with a nationalist nation on the rise.
And what's going on in Eastern Europe is so wonderful and healthy.
And they desperately want America to avoid getting on that because what's happening in places like Hungary and Croatia and Russia will cleanse America of the cancer that has taken over our institutions.
And so by any means necessary.
Presidential coup, impeachment, whatever, military coup.
They're going to try to keep us from having good relations with the nationalist uprising in Eastern Europe.
But do, Henrik, give us a little more information.
Assume for a moment that people are completely oblivious to the story of Maria Butina.
And I know you're doing a video for that for Red Eyes.
You've been mentioning it here for the last few minutes.
But just give us a 60-second thumbnail on just the basics.
I know you were talking there just a moment ago about it, but just kind of backpack and even go before that.
Who is she?
What did she do?
And what is she facing right now?
Yeah, so basically prosecutors, I guess it's, you know, if you read the indictment, it's basically like the United States against Maria Butina.
She was arrested, I think it was Monday, if I have that correct, definitely this week, for basically being an unregistered agent of the Russian government and that she has been seeking back channels and things like this with Russia.
And as you begin looking at the case and trying to kind of figure out what actually happened and what it is that she actually did, again, as I repeated, or as I said before, I repeat that, they seem so tame.
They seem so insignificant, frankly.
I mean, for example, they talk about in this New York Times article that I believe broke the story first.
And then the rest of the media has been just eating this up and are running the story, of course.
But they mentioned that she had mentioned allegedly privately that she saw that the NRA was an important political organization and she wanted, you know, and they assert that that's why she wanted to infiltrate it and these kinds of things.
Well, she was a, or she is a gun rights activist herself in Russia.
She's behind an organization called, or part of an organization called the Right to Bear Arms, which is kind of a good term, kind of funny.
But anyway, so she has visited America.
She entered in with a student visa.
And I don't think she overstated.
There was some kind of questions about that.
Did she overstay that or whatever?
They try to claim that she entered into the U.S. on false premises, but I don't think that's true.
She actually went to America to study international relations.
And when she was in America, she spent her time basically going to an NRA meeting.
And this they see as infiltrating the NRA to try to, because they are an important part in influencing the GOP, they say in the article.
And basically her going to a meeting, which anybody can register for, and basically take a selfie with the NRA heads like La Pierre and some of these people, that is apparently now subverting and influencing American democracy.
And as you begin to nitpick and look closer at the claims, you realize that they spin and they weave everything.
New York Times is basically like a conspiracy theorist publication when I read it.
It's like there's no actual tangible proof of like how is her actions nefarious beyond the fact of seeking a better diplomatic relationship between Russia and America.
She seems to have been genuinely kind of interested in the American conservative lifestyle.
She loved kind of gun culture and stuff like that.
And it seems that she basically just fit the bill.
There might be more people like her in the U.S.
I really don't know, but she seems to fit the bill of someone that they could charge with these crimes and use in this capacity.
And it's Be seen what are fake tips here, you know?
Well, and again, I mean, if you listen to them, a handful of Russians who had Twitter accounts swayed the entire presidential election.
Well, this woman, from what it sounds like, could just be a random Russian who wanted to see better relations and was trying to facilitate that.
I didn't know it was espionage or an act of treason for an American official to talk with a Russian official.
I mean, this isn't a terrorist state.
This isn't some thug gang.
I don't get it.
But we got to take a break.
We'll be back.
Well, I do get it, but we'll be back right after this.

Hey, mom, dad, Mark here.
Wow.
I love college.
Really?
I never knew living on my own could be so good for me.
So, here I am at college.
It's cool.
Well, of course, it's only been a week.
Hey, it's me.
I was just remembering that time I hit my first home run, you know, through the garage window.
Thanks for not being mad.
No.
Hi.
Boy, I miss you guys.
I miss my room.
I miss waking up to warm socks straight from the dryer.
Warm socks.
Family, isn't it about time?
Hi, it's Mark.
Love you guys.
I'll call you later.
from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Welcome back.

Okay, well, if you want more information about the woman that Henrik was referencing in the previous segment, go to Red Ice.
And Henrik, is that video up yet?
Will you give all the details?
Yeah, I'm working on it right now.
I'm editing it.
It should be either later this evening or at the latest tomorrow, you know, afternoon or something like that.
All right, and we'll tweet it out, and we'll make sure people have a follow-up resource there because time doesn't permit us to really get into everything.
My producer said that there were some allegations that this woman was trying to sleep her way into Intel.
Is there anything you know about that?
What was she trying to do even if she got Intel?
I mean, was it something nefarious?
That's just it.
It's so ridiculous.
She's obviously just trying to make friends.
I mean, she's been accused of being this, you know, let's use CIA and FBI language here, like a honeypot, right?
The sex kitten that basically wields massive influence over.
And again, the New York Times, right, is like GOP operatives.
And, you know, there was an knowingly Americans that were giving her information and things like that.
And again, then you look at it.
And it's simply she who's made friends with, you know, they speculate that this American person of interest number one, as mentioned in the indictment, is a guy called Paul Erickson, who kind of seems to be somewhat of a low-level kind of GOP political consultant.
You know, he does have some baggage from previously.
But again, if she managed to get as close as they say to some of these people, what exactly was her level of influence?
What did that matter?
How did she change anything within the GOP?
How exactly are all these low-level coincidences and circumstances actually nestling their way into the brain of Trump so that he will go and do Putin's bidding?
It's just stupid.
Exactly.
Well, here's another thing.
I just looked at a picture of her.
And even if that was true, I mean, aren't you thankful that this is the only time in American history where a woman from another nation tried to sleep her way into a position of some low-level influence?
I mean, it just, obviously, this has never happened before, but you're hearing about it now.
Obviously, it happens all the time.
But you're hearing about it now because she must be Russian, and so therefore you're going to hear about it.
But yeah, I mean, all of these, that was another thing that came up.
FBI, CIA, NSA, do you believe that they're on our side?
I mean, maybe they're on the side of the elites in government, at least the left-wing elites, but as an average American citizen, I don't say, well, thank God the FBI is out there protecting me.
I don't really think they are out there to help me at all.
I would probably, it doesn't bother me that Trump is being a little dismissive of them vis-a-vis the situation with Putin.
Which gets me back to the other passage I wanted to read from Buchanan.
Trump stands his ground on Putin.
His most recent column.
The worst case scenario would be if the establishment actually believes the nonsense it is spouting, Pat writes.
But that is hard to credit.
Like the boy who cried wolf, the establishment has cried fascist too many times to be taken seriously.
If the establishment truly believed this nonsense, it would be an unacceptable security risk to let them near the levels of power, levers of power, ever again.
The post-Helsinki hysteria reveals not merely the mindset of the president's enemy, but the depth of their determination to destroy him.
They intend to break Trump and bring him down, to see him impeached, removed, indicted, and prosecuted.
And the agenda on which he ran and was nominated and elected dumped into the ash heap of history.
Thursday, Trump indicated that he knows exactly what is afoot and threw down the gauntlet of defiance.
The president, quote, the fake news media wants so badly.
This is what you said just a moment ago, Henry.
The fake news media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia, even a confrontation that could lead to war.
They are pushing so recklessly hard and hate the fact that I'll probably have a good relationship with Putin.
I think that's must have why, though, at the end of it.
Why?
What is it?
I mean, there is an old theory.
I don't want to go off on too much of a tangent here, but there's an old theory of like the heartland theory.
McCaster, I think his name was.
It was basically that Russia in some of the major conflicts, you know, from the Second World War and the Napoleonic War and stuff like that, have kind of had their back towards the Arctic and it's a big landmass and they have immense amount of resources and things like that.
So it's a globalist interest.
It's the new world order, the liberal world elite that's seeking to control and dominate Russia, even if maybe not like directly hands-on by having a foreign invading military on location, but through leadership, through having a puppet in place that they pull the strings on or something like that.
And that could be a possibility.
It could be resources.
It could be geopolitics.
It could also have something to do with the ethnic makeup that we talked about before.
Russia, there's a lot of white people over there.
They're kind of going their own way.
They're not following suit in the liberal world order.
They're more nationalistic now and stuff.
And then, you know, just when this started to happen and they started to kick out all these oligarchs back in like 2007, that's when McCain and some of these neocons really started to turn on Russia and started to talk about Putin as some fanatical nationalistic leader at that point, where prior they had fairly good relationship with them.
Well, right.
I mean, the communists that murdered millions of people, they were good enough to be our allies in World War II or World War IB, as we like to call it.
They could be our allies, completely evil people by every standard of measurement of the word.
But Putin is far worse than that, according to the American elite.
And all of these things we're talking about, Russians with Twitter accounts, maybe this girl tried to sleep with some low-level lackey.
Maybe they did steal some emails.
Somebody in Russia, with or without Putin's knowledge, maybe they stole some emails.
That's nothing.
America blows up countries on a near-annual basis.
I mean, this goes back to focusing on the spec in Putin's eye when we have a log coming out of the eye of the American government.
We literally blow up people all over the world like it's nothing.
So there's that to consider.
And that is the yeah, go ahead, Henry.
James, sorry, yeah, and meddling in elections.
I think someone did actually a study.
There was like, what was it, 192 or something like that, 170 countries that were just official and like recognized that they had butted into their business, they had swayed them, they had financed oppositions or mainstream or mainline leaders.
They have toppled leaders, they have assassinated people.
I mean, the list just goes on and on.
And so this thing that Russia is basically just doing what any healthy nation would do, including wanting to defend itself, want to make sure that NATO doesn't surround them with military bases and like missile silos and stuff like that.
That's a given.
Even when McCain, in his autobiography, talking about the evils of Putin and that he's an evil man, the reason for why he's evil is because he's basically looking after his own nation.
And he's doing the very things that McCain himself argues for in terms of national security for America.
So, you know, he's, you know, I'm not saying that Russia isn't meddling with it or, I mean, that they wouldn't have someone over in the U.S. to try to both maybe influence and change things.
I think, frankly, any nation that is, I guess, kind of looks out after their own interests would be concerned in terms of how America had meddled.
They can look at it historically and say, well, we have to better our relationship with these guys because they get in everyone's business.
We've got to be on their good side or something.
So I'm not denying that there ever was someone who's Russian or even Russian agents, you know, gathering intel or trying to figure out what America is up to and stuff like that, surely.
Every nation does that.
You know, sure.
Normal mechanisms.
Every nation does that.
I think I just got a note that we had been caught supposedly 81 times meddling in elections.
And, of course, if elections don't go the way we want, America isn't beyond, as I said, blowing up entire nations as a result of it.
But you asked why Buchanan offered by cheering Brexit, dismissing the EU, suggesting NATO is obsolete, departing Syria, trying to get on with Putin.
Trump is disheartening the U.S. foreign policy establishment with what it fears most irrelevance.
For if there is no war on, no war imminent, no war wanted, what does a war party do?
So that was his answer to your question of why they're so antagonistic towards peace with Russia or good relations with Russia.
Let me ask you this, Henrik.
We have just minutes.
We have about two minutes remaining, and I want to be sure to give you time to plug red ice and how people can donate to your work and all of that.
So I'll ask the question, answer it as quickly as you can, and then give us that contact info.
This is going by far too quickly.
We should have had you on for three hours.
In the current alignment of the geopolitical world, in your opinion, should Russia be our greatest ally?
Answer that and then give us the contact info.
Yeah, I mean, why not, right?
I mean, Russia is an interesting country.
We don't understand fully, you know, the way of, it's not a Western country traditionally in that way.
They do things a little bit differently.
But why not?
Why shouldn't it be a good ally?
I definitely think so.
If people want to check out the video, definitely go to redice.tv, by the way.
It should be up here soon on Maria Butchina.
But we, of course, cover this regularly too.
We have McDonald on recently talking about Trump and Putin, the meeting and all that kind of stuff.
And also, I just want to quickly mention here, if you don't mind, James, we had our payments method shut down recently.
PayPal froze our account.
We've been unable to basically financially continue the operation.
Huge problem.
We're working with a backup system right now, but we have a video explaining all of that.
People can go to our YouTube channel, which is youtube.com forward slash Red EyesRadio.
Before we run over to the TV shows and all that stuff, but it's titled, We Need Your Help, Red Eyes Targeted Payment Gateway, Shut It Down.
Check out that video.
That gives you the full background of what actually happened and also how people, if they want to see us on the air still, if they want us to continue as a media outlet, they can definitely help us out in this very difficult time that we're going through right now.
I think we'll prevail.
I think we'll come out in the other end of this stronger as usual.
But it's clear, and it's not only us, obviously.
There's tons of people and groups that are targeted.
You told me, James, you had that shutdown way back in 2008, even, right?
Oh, yeah, PayPal, PayPal was done with us years ago.
But I want to tell you this.
We don't have people on and just offer out the obligatory, give us the website and tell people how you can help.
I only have people on that I want people to help.
And folks, we don't need a red ice that is encumbered or limping in any way.
We need a healthy and vibrant red ice.
We don't want to live in a world without the work of Henrik and Lana.
