	You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
	The Political Cesspool, going 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.
	I don't ever want it to end, ladies and gentlemen.
	I don't ever want our time on the radio to end.
	I don't want tonight's show to end.
	Tonight is a show that certainly reinvigorates me as a host.
	It is such a privilege, such a pleasure to have these special series in which we can trot out in front of you a parade of all-stars, parade of friends, a parade of very capable and able-minded commentators.
	And that's what we're doing.
	And we have already heard from a couple of them this evening, Paul Kersey in the first hour.
	Then last hour, you heard from Mark Weber and Paul Fromm.
	Next week, you're going to hear from Jared Taylor and Kevin McDonald.
	So what are all of these people on to talk about?
	Well, we are talking to them about the Midsummer Review, the Midsummer Assessment.
	And we're asking them where our movement stands tonight in the current year.
	And you've already heard from a few people this program.
	Next week, we just mentioned a couple of more.
	But right now in the third hour, we're not done yet, if you can believe it.
	Brad Griffin of Occidental Descent, the founding editor of Occidental Descent, our movement's resident historian and a prolific writer in his own right.
	This is actually the OD hour.
	Brad, of course, spoke at TPC's anniversary conference last year in Memphis, and there too was also Jack Ryan, who has been a longtime contributor to OccidentalDescent.com.
	It was at that meeting in October of last year that we signed Jack Ryan to be a weekly contributor.
	So as you know, ever since last October, Jack Ryan has been on every week without fail to offer us his weekly recommendations and his theme of the week.
	So this is the OD hour.
	We've got Brad right now and then Jack coming up later this hour.
	It's all OD in the third hour of TPC tonight.
	Brad, welcome back.
	Thanks for having me, Jack.
	My friend, thank you for coming.
	We were together in Alabama just a couple of weeks ago at the League of the South conference.
	And of course, like everybody else that comes on this show, it seems we have known each other for the better part of my life.
	And I'm very thankful and appreciative of your work and all that you do.
	And we're talking to people tonight about the movement.
	And as brilliant as our other guests were this evening, I don't think if anybody actually answered the question directly.
	So I'll pose it to you very directly, a direct question for a direct answer.
	How has 2018, in your opinion, been progressing thus far for our movement and our people, good or bad or indifferent?
	I would say we've had some big setbacks.
	And I would put a lot of that as really hangover from 2017.
	The first thing would be the social media censorship being booted off, Facebook and Twitter and Shadow Band on Twitter when we come back, YouTube, crowdfunding sites like Patreon, PayPal, GoFundMe, you name it.
	We're facing censorship everywhere.
	And since Trump's election, this is dramatically accelerated.
	But this was going on.
	This is a continuation of what's been going on ever since Trump won the election.
	It's going to continue.
	We've also had everyone in the movement's been dealing with these lawsuits coming out of Charlottesville.
	At least one of those has pretty much wrapped up, I think, in terms of all the groups being sued for coming to Charlottesville.
	You know, they said we were like some kind of paramilitary group, which wasn't true at all.
	So we're still dealing with that.
	That's been, you know, hanging around our necks for the better part of the year now.
	We've had some, in terms of the movement itself, it's had some, you know, I think the Matt Heimbach implosion in March was a big blow.
	That was bad.
	I don't think everything is bad, though.
	I mean, there's good and bad.
	For a long time, the Trump administration seemed to be just, I don't know, just idling by, but we're getting the new Supreme Court justice that could possibly shake up the Supreme Court.
	We talked about that at the national conference.
	One thing I'm really excited about is that President Trump finally addressed the issue of social media censorship just the other day on Twitter.
	Yes, he did.
	Sure, he did.
	We talked about that earlier today.
	That has been the biggest thing.
	I think these lawsuits will go away.
	I mean, they're mostly civil lawsuits that have no basis, in fact.
	But, you know, the thing, the big thing that we're dealing with is the deplatforming and social media censorship.
	And that's what we really got to deal with.
	And I really hope, you know, I know that the Republican congressman filed an SEC complaint the other day about Twitter shadow banning.
	That's good news.
	So, I mean, that's what we're doing.
	We were talking about the shadow banana.
	We talked about that in the first hour, Brad, about how everybody that I know is shadow banned, if not banned outright, like you and Jared and Dr. Hill and a few of our other colleagues and friends.
	But yeah, everybody that I'm friends with is at least shadow banned, including yours truly.
	And of course, that takes a significant impact on your reach on Twitter and on social media.
	And the president, of course, talked about that earlier this week.
	And so that's interesting.
	And we have been talking tonight about, so yes, you're right.
	There have been undeniable setbacks.
	We have always been very even-killed on this program.
	We've never gotten too high or too low.
	We've always just been steady and stoic in a way.
	I mean, we are passionate, of course.
	We do our work with a lot of emotion, but we don't ever allow a victory or a defeat in a moment in time take us to any extreme.
	But I go back and I look at the show, and we made mention of this earlier in the program tonight, I believe in the first segment of the first hour.
	We had a show, the very first show of the year.
	It was a packed house.
	We had eight different individuals on to offer us their predictions on how 2018 would go.
	And the people that we had on that very first show in January of this year were Richard Spencer, Kyle Bristow, Henrik Palmgren, Jared Taylor, Michael Hill, Patrick Casey, Sam Dixon, and David Duke.
	Now, some of those people have been completely taken out.
	Some of those people have been completely stymied with lawsuits.
	And I think a couple of them did pretty well in their predictions, but a few of those predictions were very far off in how this year would unfold.
	And a lot has happened since January, as you just alluded to.
	But at the same time, we have to take hope in what's going on in Eastern Europe.
	Eastern Europe is rising in a way that astonishes even me.
	And I think Trump has had a good summer.
	So you're right.
	I mean, we have to put it all into the blender and see what comes out.
	There are reasons for pessimism.
	There are reasons for optimism.
	Overall, Brad, tonight, where do you stand?
	Are we better off now than we were a year or two years ago, or are we really just treading water?
	Well, I think we had a great 2015 and a great 2016.
	2016 being amazing.
	You know, the whole rise of the Trump movement, everyone was on top of the world.
	And 2017 was, you know, kind of...
	I mean, we should have seen it coming that.
	You know he was sure of this.
	I know I did.
	It took this massive reaction as well, which we're still doing well.
	Well, hold on right there.
	You hear the music, as do I, and as do our listeners.
	We're going to repose that question to Brad.
	Where do we stand right now in his assessment, and what is tomorrow going to look like?
	Even more important, what's the future look like?
	It looks really good if you're in Hungary right now, or maybe even in Croatia or Russia.
	In America, it could be hit or miss.
	We'll talk to Brad about that when we come back.
	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, 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, since 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.
	The Lord has infinitely blessed me with a deep roster of good and talented friends.
	And let's name them off.
	Those who will be appearing tonight and next week in TPC's Midsummer Review two-week special series.
	Brad Griffin, who's on the line with us right now, Paul Fromm, Paul Kersey, who you heard from earlier this evening, as well as Mark Weber.
	And then next week, Kevin McDonald and Jared Taylor.
	Brad, Paul, Paul, Kevin, Jared, and Mark.
	That is a hell of a roster for a two-week special series on any radio program.
	We're so thankful we can be the one that can present them to you.
	And we're talking about the current standing of our people and our cause this evening in the dog days of summer 2018.
	I think, Brad, if you are a Hungarian, this midsummer looks very good to you.
	It looks good to you if you're a Russian or a Croatian.
	If you're a white Christian southerner, how does it look to you tonight?
	Are you hopeful that tomorrow will be better than yesterday?
	Or is it still too early to tell for people here in this particular country?
	I think we've seen, in terms of the setbacks we've had, which no doubt there's been a ton of setbacks in Charlottesville, I think we've seen the worst of it.
	I mean, I don't, there's not going to be any more lawsuits coming out of that.
	I don't think I'm confident about the current ones.
	As for social media deplatforming and, you know, crowdfunding sites, I think, you know, that has gotten about as bad as it can possibly get.
	It's finally, the issue seems to have finally, when it was just us being affected by this, no one seemed to care.
	But now that you see bigger fish like InfoWars getting thrown off YouTube, getting thrown off Facebook, the issue is gaining more traction.
	And I'm optimistic that there's going to be pushback on this.
	I think we saw what happened with Facebook and Twitter just the other day.
	Twitter had like a 20% decline in its stock, and so did Facebook.
	These people lost tens of billions of dollars in this last week.
	So that's good news.
	I think pressure is mounting for these companies to get rid of their censorship.
	At least I hope that's the direction it's going in.
	I can't tell what Congress is going to do.
	I'm always been kind of negative, needless to say, on the ability of the Republican Congress to do anything.
	Yeah, I think the groups after Charlottesville were, it took them a while to find their footing.
	I saw Identity Europa had a great-looking demonstration out there today in New York City.
	I think I don't think we're going to have any more of these huge, big confrontations with ANTIFA, unless it's groups like Patriot Prayer, for example, has a big rally coming up in Portland.
	I don't think, you know, the things that have been damaging us, I think, have peaked and have are kind of fading.
	And I think we're starting to recover from it.
	That's my, I'm cautiously optimistic.
	I'll put it that way.
	Well, I appreciate that.
	I am always a glass and half-full type of guy.
	And I always think that our people are too talented, too brilliant, too wonderful to exit history stage left without any more than a whimper.
	And we're seeing the people that have suffered the most amongst our brethren, the Eastern Europeans who were killed by the tens of millions by the Bolsheviks.
	They're leading our resistance right now.
	They are leading, they may be the key to our survival, as I mentioned earlier tonight, as we've mentioned from time to time.
	So if they can recover to that extent, certainly we can here.
	Right now, the only thing our people have to fear is being called the R-word.
	So that pales in comparison.
	But maybe we need to suffer a little more before we can find our backbone again.
	But nevertheless, I have always been hopeful.
	So with that being the case, Brad, with about five minutes remaining, we certainly want to give you the opportunity to plug your website, plug your work, let people know how they can support you.
	But before you do that, I really want to put you on the spot tonight.
	And I haven't asked this of any other guests we've had this evening.
	How does the de facto white party, Trump's Republican Party, for better or for worse?
	And I've been no fan of establishment Republicanism, God knows.
	But how do they fare in the midterms with him having this carrot of the Supreme Court vacant seat looming and the left embracing Alexandria Cortez and her ilk as the future?
	What do the midterms look like for the Republicans?
	And if they should maintain control of Congress after November, what do the next two years look like?
	Will they follow Trump's path or will they continue to just be milly-mouthed people who are ashamed of the people who actually vote for them?
	Well, I would say things have, you know, if you would have asked me six months ago how the midterms would turn out, the Republicans always said it's going to be a disaster.
	Because of the, you know, the Supreme Court vacancy and Kavanaugh likely, you know, getting pushed through Congress.
	The economy, I know the Trump team is celebrating, you know, 4.1% economic growth.
	It looked like we might plunge into war in Syria and Iran or North Korea.
	That didn't happen.
	Things have improved with North Korea.
	President Trump has been back and forth on Russia.
	He seems to want to generally improve relations with Russia, but the people around him won't let him do that.
	It's more of a mixed bag now.
	I think, you know, I know Trump has like a 90% approval rate with Republicans.
	So even though people like us, they're, you know, very, very disillusioned at the moment over the free speech issue over Confederate monuments being torn down and all these other things.
	The average Republican seems to, you know, be motivated and likes the way things are going.
	And I can see there being a case for that.
	You know, you can say the economy's better.
	You can say the Supreme Court is likely to change.
	So like people do have a reason to go out and vote for Republicans.
	So I still think the Democrats will retake the House.
	I don't believe they'll take the Senate.
	And I believe it'll be, you know, a Democratic-controlled house and good luck for the next two years is my takeaway.
	But, you know, that could, that could, putting that Nancy Pelosi back in charge of the House, you know, could be a blessing for the Republicans in the long run.
	That's Monka.
	Well, it's an impossible question because you never know what's really going to happen.
	I know people like Dick Morris, who were brought on as these sages.
	He comes on the night before an election or even the night of an election.
	He makes all these predictions and it turns out to be 180 degrees the opposite.
	Yet he still is brought on again the next day to offer more predictions.
	It's hard to predict what will happen in elections, but it will be interesting to find out because this is a very interesting year being at Trump's first midterm.
	And especially with the Democrats going so far to the left and it looks like their future is going to be out and out, non-white communists leading their party.
	It will be very interesting, especially with an open Supreme Court seat, to see how the voters turn out in some of these swing states and some of these contested elections.
	And we will find out together how it's going to turn out.
	But in the meantime, we will continue to do our good work, come what may.
	And I think I speak for all of our guests tonight that you've already heard from, Paul Kersey, Mark Weber, Paul Fromm, now Brad Griffin.
	We will continue to do our work regardless of if tomorrow is a little brighter or a little darker than yesterday was.
	And Brad, give us the information before Jack Ryan comes on, one of your lieutenants and one of our weekly contributors, how people can follow you and what you're writing about.
	And folks, you need to be following what Brad's writing because he's one of our daily writers.
	You can follow me at Fire Eater1861 on Twitter and Facebook and OCC Descent on Gab and occidentaldescent.com.
	It's my website.
	You may have just spelled the end for Fire Eater 1861 as I am following it.
	I didn't know that was you.
	I have 88 followers, by the way.
	I noticed just before I came over here.
	I've quietly split back.
	I don't know how long I'll survive, but that might be probably within minutes of tonight, the end of tonight's show.
	But I'm going to follow you at least for the rest of that time.
	And this is, well, my goodness.
	I don't know how many accounts this has been for you, Brad, but you keep coming back.
	God bless you for that.
	And so now I'm following you.
	Thank you for letting us know.
	You and Dr. Hill have to come back covertly from time to time on Twitter.
	But folks, follow Brad.
	Support his work at occidentaldescent.com.
	Brad, thanks for coming on tonight.
	Brad Griffin, everybody.
	Longtime friend, longtime advocate for our people, longtime champion for our cause.
	We'll be right back.
	Pursuing liberty, using the Constitution as our guide.
	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.
	Dad, can you make him stop?
	Honey, he needs to practice.
	He's been at it an hour.
	Well, just trying to be patient.
	Dad, it sounds like a cat calling for help or something.
	Worse, a basement full of cats.
	Yeah.
	You know what?
	It is a little hard on the ears.
	Not you, too.
	Well, maybe we can all play a game.
	Andrew, do you want to play a board game?
	How about we watch a video?
	Hide and seek.
	Oh, I don't know.
	I give up.
	Maybe we can all just sneak out of the house.
	Honey, he's nine years old.
	We can't leave him home alone.
	We can make him practice with a sock.
	Well, I guess we'll have to get some ice cream.
	Did I hear someone say, ice cream?
	Family, isn't it about time?
	Oh, I see the practice hasn't hurt your ears.
	Well, I'm a serious musician.
	Funny that you never seem to get better on that thing.
	Works every time.
	From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
	Hey, where did all these cats come from?

	Oh, United, we stand, keep right and reform.
	And if our back should ever be against the wall, we'll be together to get you ready.
	My God, I don't know if the purpose of that song was to inspire people like us, ladies and gentlemen, but it sure does tonight.
	We opened up the show with that particular song, and now we're closing the show with it.
	And since that moment and now you've heard from In Order, Paul Kersey, Mark Weber, Paul Fromm, and Brad Griffin.
	And United we stand with our brothers, and United we stand with those who have recently departed this world to receive their eternal reward.
	And with that intro having been said, folks, if we have inspired you, if we have encouraged you, if we have uplifted you tonight, remember that this show doesn't exist without your support.
	ThepoliticalSessPool.org.
	Show us your financial support.
	Please, ladies and gentlemen, stand with us.
	Only this show, this show is the only radio program in the world that brings to you each and every week the talents of one Jack Ryan.
	And Jack, I know you wanted to use that song tonight to pay tribute to some individuals who served this cause but can no longer do so because they are in the ever after.
	Well, I just want to send you and all of our listeners warm greetings from Berlin Lyons Metro working class suburb of Chicago, Illinois.
	And these are good folks, tough folks.
	I spent a very interesting day here in Berlin taking a concealed carry license course there and hanging out.
	I'm in a tough bar with, I thought I was in real trouble.
	I thought I might seriously bodily injury in a pool, but my pool skills recovered.
	I did well.
	I represented the political cesspool.
	Okay, so our bars are with us.
	So yeah, good deal and great day.
	And we're looking good.
	Yeah, this is like a place that's very similar to David Duke's place of Metairie in Louisiana, working class suburb, good folks, ironworkers, plumbers, electricians, and things like that.
	So that's where I spend my day.
	Hey, I wish I could have spent it with you, my friend.
	Even up there in the Midwest, in Chicago, it sounds like you're surrounded by good people, our people, hard people, working people.
	And you took time out of the pool hall tonight to come on tonight.
	But I know, you know, we just had Brad on, who, of course, you collaborate with at ODOccidentalDescent.com.
	And you had posted a tribute this week at OccidentalDescent.com to one Harold Covington, who, along with Olaf Childress of the First Freedom, a man that I knew well, a man who departed this world at the age of 85 this week, Olaf Childress, along with Harold Covington of the Northwest Front, both on to their eternal reward.
	They have both passed on this week.
	And I know that Harold specifically played a role in your development, Jack.
	Yeah, he did.
	Harold Covington is a brilliant writer, just a great writer.
	He's up there with Lovecraft, just a brilliant, brilliant writer, and also a very good public speaker and teacher.
	But we want to separate the art from the artist, like the greatest composers or musicians of all time, Rickard Wagner, they have their issues where they had some other things.
	So Harold Covington, I've known him, I've known his work, I promote it, but he has some issues that he had some ones.
	And he was not very good to Hunter Wallace or myself.
	He was, you know, he gossiped, he slid down and things like that.
	But we want to promote the people that are good at our things, good sports people, good writers.
	And Harold Covington is just brilliant.
	And I highly recommend his work of the Northwest novels, but also his other fiction works, The Black Flame, about English history.
	He's just a brilliant person.
	So I would highly recommend people buy his books and promote his books and look at his best things.
	And so, yeah, we did his obituaries there and we promoted his good things.
	And the other negative sides that he wasn't so good at, his personal qualities, he wasn't a good family man or whatever.
	You know, we're not going to like tear up our people.
	So we support our best people that are good at it.
	And Harold Covington is just a great writer.
	And so we want to promote him and celebrate him.
	And I'm sorry he passed on, but his work lives on, and that's what we should do.
	Well, we don't have a deep bench in this movement, at least people who are talented and capable who go out and suffer the arrows and the spears and don't back down.
	So, yes, we close ranks around our people, even sometimes those people who are flawed.
	And if you want to read Jack's obituary or his tribute to Harold Covington, you can check that out at occidentaldescent.com.
	Also, again, passing this week, Olaf Childress, 85 years old of Alabama.
	He put out the first freedom newspaper, and I have met Olaf, and Olaf has been on this show, Olaf.
	I will miss.
	So, Harold Covington to Harold Covington and to Olaf Children, Olaf Childress, to them the kingdom of heaven, we hope.
	And so, that being said, Jack, we move on with those who are still with us.
	And we've been talking to many of them tonight, and now you too, my friend.
	But we've got to understand that this movement is something that predates us and is something that will go on long after we're past.
	Absolutely.
	We fight for our past, our present, and our future.
	And that's why we salute the living and we pay tribute to the dead while we fight for those who are with us in the current.
	Sure.
	Absolutely.
	So, Jack, let's go to your recommendations for the week, your recommendations and your theme.
	Okay, I got thrown off.
	I was going to do a French recommendation about all these other things, but the other one's up.
	My recommendation, kind of a British, Harold Covington was southern, Scotch-Irish, you know, Southern working man guy.
	So, sort of a British kind of thing.
	So, what I'm going to recommend are the books I'm going to recommend are the books of Agatha Christie.
	It's like mystery, who done it.
	But her books are all about English people on holidays going to exotic places, each former British Empire places that kind of gone on.
	So, the works of Agatha Christie, they're just great.
	Murder on the Oriental or Express.
	They did some good movies or just PBS documentaries with Hercule Perrault there.
	So, I would say the works of Agatha Christie are very well read.
	Okay, so my movie recommendation, I just kind of gone off.
	I'm going to recommend what is the one of Jack Nicholson, the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
	Okay, it's a nice 70s movie.
	I think they got Academy Award for Nurse Ratchet.
	It's about the American man who sort of cuckled, has gone into it, and it's exciting, but it needs to be remade as the Christian movie where there's a happy ending where Jack Nicholson marries Nurse Ratchet.
	But so, that movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, is my recommendation of the week.
	All right, fantastic, as always.
	Jack, our Renaissance man, our cultural correspondent, he's going to let you know what books to read, what songs to listen to, and which movies to watch.
	And he does it every week.
	And as we talked to Brad about in the last segment, Jack's been doing that, of course, every week for us since last October when both me and Brad were at our 2014 hang on a minute.
	What year is this?
	Our 2017.
	We're going into our 14th year.
	It was the 2017 13th anniversary celebration, and we were all there together.
	And since then, Jack has been a very integral and vital part of our weekly program.
	And we hope that that will continue for many, many, many years to come.
	But, Jack, I want to, well, we're coming up on a break, so I'll pose the question to you, and then we can follow up on it in the following segment.
	And, of course, there'll be time left over to get to anything else you would like to cover.
	But we are doing, of course, a two-week special series, this Midsummer Review is what we're calling it.
	And the people we selected to chime in and offer their assessment on where our movement and our people stand, as it were, this evening in July.
	And it's going to carry over into the first week of August.
	But as we stand this midsummer, where do we stand?
	We're asking the question of Brad Griffin, as we just mentioned, Paul Fromm, Paul Kersey, Kevin McDonald, Jared Taylor, and Mark Weber.
	Now, four of those six have already appeared.
	Two, Kevin and Jared will appear next week.
	What do you think about the selection of guests that we are bringing to the audience to participate in this?
	Amongst all of these tremendous people, I've known them.
	It's a small circle of people in our country that know the score and are willing to risk their careers and stuff to do with it.
	I'm the only person in my family that will do that.
	Boy, I've got some pussy footers that empowered in my family.
	You know, they're not bad people.
	They're stopping.
	I think we all know that we know the type, Jack.
	And the music is playing.
	But what I'm going to do when we come back, Jack is, of course, not a guest.
	He's part of the family, but we're going to ask him the question we asked all the guests.
	Can 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.
	As a parent, is receiving a faith-based, character-focused education for your children difficult to find?

	Welcome back.
	To get on the show, call us on James' Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
	Has it been three hours or three minutes?
	It's hard to know when you are surrounded by this much talent.
	What talented and incredible guests we've had tonight.
	And of course, much more than a guest.
	You know that Jack is part of the family here at TPC.
	He's one of our weekly contributors.
	But even that being the case, I do want to ask Jack the same question that I've asked each of our guests this evening.
	And the question that I will ask our guests next week, Kevin McDonald and Jared Taylor.
	Jack, the current situation as it stands this evening in late July 2018, what is the situation that our people face?
	How, in your opinion, has 2018 been progressing for our movement and for our cause?
	Where do we stand tonight, Jack?
	Well, I think, I mean, the election of Donald Trump actually was great.
	We all worked for that.
	The enemies of our people, the enemies of humanity have regrouped.
	They've used their power in academia and the media to viciously slander and clamp down and deplatform us, take away my PayPal, Facebook accounts, Twitter, and all these things and make it basically a hate crime to be able to read William Shakespeare's work and things like that.
	But we're resolute.
	I think we've got great talent there.
	And I think I just noticed that we've got just on the show just tremendous talent, but it's male talent.
	All of our guys are there.
	And I know that you've got a beautiful supportive wife.
	And I know that Brad Griffin, Renee's wife is very good.
	But I think we're falling down a lot in our women.
	In France, they've got Marine Le Pen or there.
	Look at me.
	Look at me in a big city.
	They're brutal killers, gangsters, illegal aliens, and stuff like that.
	But biggest problem is our women.
	Chicago is the home of Hillary Adam Clinton.
	Okay, that's what these women are like.
	And I got to deal with them.
	Okay.
	I got to deal with these women.
	They're not supportive.
	They're not fun.
	My mom was from Michigan, and she was in Chicago for about a week before my father proposed marriage to her.
	It was great.
	I wouldn't even be here on planet Earth.
	So I think our biggest weakness really is our women.
	They're not being supportive.
	They're not helping our country.
	And we need more women like traditional southern women, Courtney from Alabama.
	You know, even the women that have good politics, both with Anne culture.
	She's intelligent.
	She's fine.
	And she's there.
	And I just met her at a party and I introduced myself.
	And I said I was writer for Occidental Descent.
	And she goes, great.
	I like everyone here.
	Claims they're a writer.
	She's hostile.
	She doesn't like men.
	And so these women that are hostile to men, that's falling down.
	And so I can understand why our men are trying to find wives from the Philippines or Latin America.
	Just try to find some woman that's somewhat supportive and just like the regular guy.
	So I think that's really our weakest spot.
	I think that's where we're most vulnerable.
	So that's really my one.
	I think our guys are doing great in Eastern Europe, Victor Orban, Vladimir Putin, Russia, all that good.
	And look at the leader of Germany.
	The leader of Germany is this ugly hag, Andrew Merkel, who wants to welcome in every rape.
	You know, like, how did this person get to be the chancellor of Germany?
	Yeah, Germany has fallen far and fast, there's no doubt, from its previous glory.
	Horrible.
	But things are changing even in Germany.
	I mean, even in Germany now, they're closing the borders, even to the dismay of Merkel.
	So, but yeah, of course, I agree with you.
	I can't remember who I talked about this with recently.
	If it was on this show, who's been on the show recently?
	I got to take a look.
	Surely we've talked about it recently on this show.
	Maybe it was during the League of the South broadcast because we had the post 4th of July spectacular on July 7th.
	Jesse Lee Peterson, Tom Kaczynski a couple of weeks ago, Henrik Pumgren last week.
	There was a show recently where we addressed this topic.
	It may have been at the League of the South conference because this very attractive young couple, husband and wife, who sat in with us on that broadcast for a segment, and we talked about women.
	Yeah, it was that show now that I recall.
	First hour of the League of the South broadcast live from Alabama Saturday, June 30th.
	Of course, Jack, you came on later on in that broadcast.
	But there was a very attractive young couple there, beautiful young lady, very supportive and doting of her husband.
	And we talked about bringing more women into the movement and what it takes and why there aren't more as it is right now.
	And she gave some spectacular answers.
	So folks, if you want to revisit that conversation, first hour of the June 30th show.
	But of course, in the meantime, we have a handful.
	And of course, we can name them all.
	Lana from Red Eyes, who's a friend of ours.
	And, well, I guess there's a couple of others.
	But, I mean, I'm sure we could dig deeper if we needed to.
	Well, Virginia Abernathy, I mean, she's a little older, but a dear friend of mine and a great woman.
	I mean, there are some, but certainly there's no doubt about it.
	It's a male-dominated and male-centric movement.
	And I don't think women should be police officers.
	I don't think women should be soldiers.
	I don't think women should be at the head of any movement, but there need to be more that are.
	That's true.
	I mean, come on, man.
	But at the same time, women play an invaluable role, and women do have strengths and attributes, and they do things that we can't do.
	They have a womb that we don't have, and they bring forth life that we can't.
	And obviously, we don't make it in this world without women.
	And so we respect and we admire and we fight for and we honor our women.
	That doesn't mean that they need to be leading the charge into battle.
	They don't need to be on Traveler, Robert E. Lee's horse, you know, galloping towards the enemy.
	But they do have a role to play that we can't play.
	And we need to honor and cherish and value our women.
	And we do need to have more women supporting this cause.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	Well, this is one thing that I created.
	I thought of.
	I think it's a good idea.
	In Eastern Europe, I'm 25% Russian.
	They don't have the children's birthday be a birthday.
	They have it as Saints Day so that when they name the children after Orthodox saints, so they have it there.
	So my idea is to make the children's birthday in America a co-birthday, the birthday of the child and the mother, because the mother gave birth to the child.
	You know, something that's good.
	And so instead of this little kid says, give me a lot of money and toys and stuff, you want to honor the mother on the birthday that they gave birth to the child.
	So that's something that we could do.
	Jack, we have just a couple of minutes remaining.
	Are you more hopeful or less hopeful than you were last year?
	Do you think tomorrow is going to be better than yesterday?
	Very quick answer, and then I'm going to ask you one more thing.
	I think I'm way more hopeful because I just think that all of Eastern Europe, Russia, has been freed.
	It's all us.
	And just all those people that were our enemies are free.
	They're us.
	Every time I talk to Serbian, Polish people, Russian people, Ukrainian people, it's all good.
	And they all agree with me.
	They all agree with me about history, about communism, about Islam, about the mass migration.
	So I feel that all these people are free.
	And then it's up to us.
	And, you know, things kind of look rough.
	I mean, I promise this, we're decadent.
	We've just got, we're a little too rich.
	So, no, I'm very optimistic.
	I think it's good.
	And we got to do the old regular things.
	And I think we're going to go forward.
	But we got to be better at things like fundraising, business, and things like that.
	So yeah, I think this we're going forward.
	I think it's going to be great.
	And I love our listeners, but let's, you know, let's do the business thing.
	Let's see that we do fundraising well and let's go forward.
	So no, I'm very optimistic.
	Well, good.
	I am too.
	So I'm glad to hear somebody agree with me on that front.
	And yes, even if the future looks a little brighter for our cousins in Eastern Europe as it does for our brothers and sisters here in America, there is at least hope at some part in our world.
	And so we will take that for what it is and hope to draw inspiration from that.
	Now, Jack, with only a minute or two remaining in the entire show, this has been one of the fastest shows of the year.
	And of course, it's always that way when you have so many great guests, one after another, one hit maker after another.
	A lot of the stuff in the news recently.
	Israel is now an ethnostate.
	It's official.
	They have what we want.
	And, of course, that's good for them, but bad if we want it.
	But they certainly set forth a model for us to follow.
	Trump, Putin, a lot of stuff going on in the news.
	Any current news items that have piqued your attention, Jack, with a minute remaining?
	Tell us the one that's peaked it the most.
	Peak news.
	No, just that just the idea that it's been reversed, that the leftist liberal people are accusing Russian spies behind every bush, you know, affecting our elections by making Facebook posts and stuff like that.
	Everyone did that in 1960.
	They would be, you know, just dismissed as a right-wing kook or something like that, but it's now become mainstream.
	So that's kind of what's gone forward.
	I don't know.
	I just think I have to just determine, we live in an occupied country that the American mass media is controlled by hostile, alien, racial, sexual, elites.
	So just kill your TV.
	Take a brick.
	Have your pastor or priest blast the brick and throw the brick through their TV because there's nothing on TV.
	There's only Tucker Carlson's only honest person on the entire television.
	So get rid of it.
	So otherwise, we've got other things.
	We got radio.
	We got the Blitz Ospo.
	We've got our books.
	We got Encyclopedia Britannica from 1962.
	So I would say just go with that and be positive.
	But yeah, the media mafia that controls our media is alien.
	It's hostile to us, but that's the way it is.
	And we got to deal with it, and we will deal with it, and we will win.
	Hey, folks, more Jack Ryan.
	You want more Jack Ryan, more Jack Ryan, of course, every week here on TPC, but also at OccidentalDescent.com.
	This has been the OD hour, as it were.
	Brad Griffin with us at the beginning of the hour.
	Jack Ryan closing it out.
	Both contributors to OD.
	So check him out there, Jack.
	Thank you so much.
	And we'll talk to you again next week for the rest of you, ladies and gentlemen.
	Good night.
	God bless.
	What a fantastic hour of radio, fantastic night of radio.
