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.
A couple of quick announcements as we kick off the third and final hour of tonight's live broadcast.
Eddie the Bombardier Miller is in New York City tonight, and he's having a big time, and he's getting ready to run the New York Marathon tomorrow.
So Godspeed to the Bombardier.
This is normally his hour, but since he is on the road this evening, Keith is sticking with us for him.
He's seen himself on pasta right now.
He's going to have energy to run that race.
Keith is staying with us for some extended play tonight.
You've got Keith Alexander for the entire three hours.
But Godspeed and God bless the Bombardier Eddie Miller in New York tonight.
And tomorrow morning, very, very early, he will be on the starting line of the New York City Marathon.
So great to be represented up there, member of the TPC team.
Another big hit were the TPC mugs that we were offering up for our anniversary show.
Keith, you've got one of these mugs.
I snatched one before I even knew what they were.
I said, I got to have one of those.
For some reason, you're coming in awfully light tonight.
Is your mic on?
There you go.
Try again.
Can you hear me now?
I hear you now.
So tell us how good those mugs feel and taste.
Let me tell you, they're the type of mug you can put in a microwave, take it out with, you know, the heated liquid in it, and it's not too hot.
Hang on, Keith.
I don't know.
What's going on here tonight?
All right, anyway, Keith likes the mug.
To say the least, Keith likes the mugs.
So we're going to be shipping those out.
Actually, the post office ran out of padded envelopes, so we had to order some.
And so anyway, all you need to know, folks, is we know who you are.
We know who ordered them, and they're all going to ship out next week.
And not only that, my wife is going to package them, so you'll even have her essence on the package.
So that's an added bonus.
So she's going to be working on those next week.
We'll get them all shipped out.
But let's go back and Keith and unpack a little bit the Paul Nalen interview after we've gone through the two announcements.
Before we do it, let me know.
Let me check.
Can you hear me now?
Yeah, you're good now.
Okay, good deal.
You know, you got to troubleshoot a little bit.
I think what happened was when your phone rang, we jacked you up, and now we jacked you down.
It's sort of like being jammed up and jelly tight.
Right, exactly.
Apologies to Tommy Rowe.
All right, Tommy Rowe.
Eddie's in New York.
The mugs are coming your way.
Let's unpack that great interview with Paul Nalen.
And I know that there's a few things that you want to say.
We always try to defer to our guest.
Sam Dixon has a great quote.
There's so many people who will die for the movement, but not one of them will work for it.
And so for the few people who will and are willing to work for the movement, you know, you really stand apart.
And Paul's one of those guys.
We talk all the time about whites needing food, shelter, clothing, and then social status.
And it's great when you have somebody with something to lose to come out and go all in for what's right and to be a truth teller and to have courage and bravery.
I mean, those are the people you follow.
That's who we are.
That's who Paul is.
That's why I think there's a kindred spirit and a connection there.
But I know there was a lot of things you wanted to say to Paul.
That was a fast hour.
Your takeaways, your insights, go.
Well, let's start with the last part of his talk first because that's freshest on my mind right now.
He was talking about self-defense and defending yourself.
And then he was pointing out to the fact that people that did do that at Charlottesville were the ones that seemed to have been paying the highest price for their advocacy.
I am a great believer in doing whatever it takes to be effective.
And if you want to know how to be effective in gaining political power and cultural hegemony, you can't do any better than to study the left and particularly cultural Marxism to see how it's done.
Well, the left did it from a very weak position, a much weaker position than we have as white Gentiles here in Europe and America and in Australia, New Zealand, and wherever we are.
And the way they were able to accomplish that was through stealth.
They didn't come out and say, please hire me as a faculty member at your university.
And you need to know that when I get hired, I'm going to secretly bring in people just like me.
We're going to hide our light under a bushel until we reach critical mass.
Then we're going to take this place over and fire you, make you walk the plane.
Well, that's what Paul was saying.
He's saying he's advising candidates who are running right now, and you wouldn't necessarily know what's underneath the packaging.
Well, that's exactly what you have to run as a stealth candidate.
And we have all these people.
He would be able to know.
Yeah, these people that talk like, you know, you're somehow not the right stuff if you're not some tough guy, tough talking guy and say, hell yeah, that's the way I feel.
That's the way you don't like it.
Shove it where the sun don't shine.
Well, that may make you feel good for a little while, but it sure doesn't feel good to be in the jail in Charlottesville for over a year like some of these people have been, like James Field, for example, who, as far as I can tell, was just scared to death and running for his life when all of that unfortunate fallout happened.
But what I would suggest is that you do, you take a page out of the cultural leftist game plan or playbook, and you basically, for example, if you're a young person and want to get involved in this type of movement, I would suggest that you use a pseudonym.
Unless you are independently wealthy, unless you are truly bulletproof, unless you are really a freebooter who has an independent source of income that is untouchable by the left, that's what you need to do because that's what the left did back when they were in a position of relative weakness.
Now they're in charge.
Now, all the tough talking and tough guys tactics that, you know, those are the guys that are having problems.
Don't use violence.
Violence is absolutely counterproductive, both for you personally and for the movement generally.
The way to do this is basically just to tell the truth about things.
For example, I'll give you a great example if you don't mind, Keith.
I was thinking about this today, of all things, and that is Martin Luther King.
I mean, what a murder, murder is murder.
But he became a martyr, and from his martyrdom, they have been able to inflict all sorts of damage that they otherwise would not have been able to do.
Had he lived a natural life, he would have been remembered exactly as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are remembered today as a two-bit race hustler, as a communist.
Well, even worse than that, he would have been another, he'd been like Bill Cosby to the Me Too movement.
He could have still gone to Aretha Franklin's funeral, and he would have still rubbed elbows with presidents, but he wouldn't have been known as this Messiah-like figure.
He would have been vulnerable to Bill Cosby treatment based on his, you know, sexual improprieties, which is one of the main reasons why his FBI file was sealed by a federal judge for 50 years back in the run-up to having his birthday turned into a national holiday.
And they knew that if that information got out, there's no way that they could have sold that to the American people.
Well, this is the thing.
I mean, we're against violence for the obvious reasons.
We adhere to the Ten Commandments.
But also because our enemies are so evil, they will extract every ounce of political capital from the marrow of any silly action like this that they can.
And they've certainly done it with Kink.
So violence is wrong for a lot of reasons, and it hurts us, as Keith said, even for reasons beyond that.
So remember that.
And when we come back, a little bit more for Paul Dale, we're going to give you Paul's.
He just texted me.
I'm going to give you Paul's exact predictions on what's going to happen Tuesday.
He put down a number.
He told me how many seats the Republicans are going to get holding to in Congress on Tuesday.
And I'm going to share those numbers with you when we come back.

Do we reflect about our future and where we as a culture are moving?
Do we keep our trust in our jobs, homes, money, life necessities, investments, stock markets?
Do we believe that our 401ks or other retirements will always be there and that the current economic order will recover?
Is the economy going to recover and life return to normal?
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medjagoria.
Whether you are poor, middle class, or rich, it ain't going to happen.
A book of astounding revelations about the present economic order and where we are heading.
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medgagoria.

They will slander you.

They will lie, lie, lie.
And then again, they will do worse than that.
They will do whatever's necessary.
The Clintons are criminals.
Remember that.
They're criminals.
I'm going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money.
We're going to open up those libel laws.

And now back to tonight's show.
All right, folks.
So back to Paul Nalan's predictions.
We were texting during the last commercial break.
Thanking him for coming on the show, et cetera, et cetera.
And he said, here are the exact predictions.
This is what Paul is predicting will happen after Tuesday.
This is going to be the count.
Tuesday election.
This is going to be the count.
The Republicans will have 250 seats in the House to 185 seats for the Democrats.
The Republicans will have 54 seats in the Senate to 46 for the Democrats.
So that is ambitious if you are someone who wants the GOP to do well.
But let me ask you this, James.
How many seats do we presently have or do the Republicans?
Well, we know how many we have in the Senate.
In the Senate.
Well, in the Senate, it's what, 51.
51.
So he's a necklace of three.
I don't know how many they have in the House.
Maybe our illustrious producer can tell us.
Well, we obviously have.
But less than 250, I can tell you that.
But on the other hand, if the Democrats have one more in the House than we do, rest assured that impeachment is coming because the Democrats enforce solidarity with their programs.
They have 237 in the House, Sam says.
Right.
Well, what they'll do, if they get one, if they have one more person in the House of Representatives than the Republicans, they will bring impeachment charges, even though those impeachment charges are bound to fail.
I'll tell you one thing go to the Senate where they don't have a majority, but the mere fact that they've brought the impeachment charges will be used as misinformation by the left to such a degree that the average man in the street will probably think that Trump has already been deposed and driven from office.
Well, I can tell you one seat they'll lose in the Senate whenever he's up for re-election again is Doug Jones' seat in Alabama.
I mean, that was the forces against Roy Moore.
I still would have just about bet my life that he was going to win in spite of it all.
But Doug Jones is going to be winning reelection in Alabama.
Yeah, well, this is so sad that Trump, for example, when he has somebody who would have been a rock-solid supporter of his running, the closest he could get to Roy Moore was Pensacola, Florida.
Yeah, and I'm the thing is he's scared to death of falling out of favor with that Acela Corridor mindset.
Acela Corridor is a bullet train that runs from Boston to D.C.
Yeah, well, see, whatever it is, that's, you know, he's going to fall in line with that zeitgeist.
He is, you know, he loves to come down here into the South and to the great American desert as the elites on the left coast and on the Acela Corridor East Coast say of us.
But on the other hand, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
How many appointments of people like Roy Moore, people from Iowa, people from South Carolina people, not South Carolina, let's say from Alabama or Arkansas or Utah or Arizona, or let's say Nevada, has he made to his, you know, cabinet posts, to his inner circle,
to the positions of high authority within the federal government.
He should be putting people like Roy Moore in charge of the FBI and whatnot, but he apparently still thinks that Rod Rosenstein is a salvageable project, but Roy Moore isn't.
So, you know, they say that the primary skill of a politician is the ability to distinguish friends from enemies.
And I think that Donald Trump still has a big problem with that, James.
Well, he's got a lot of enemies, too.
So the only friends that he's gotten, he's gotten because, I mean, remember when it was just Jeff Sessions, and that relationship has certainly been frayed for whatever reason.
But the only reason he's got all of these people pretending to be his friends is because they believe it's the path to power, which goes to prove what I've always said.
Well, it's not just that.
I think Jeff Sessions was genuinely on his side.
Right, he was.
But because he's not one of these elites from either the East Coast or the left coast, he becomes a convenient whipping boy.
Meanwhile, Rod Rosenstein, who really was his enemy from day one, and the more that they uncover, the more that's proven, he still tries to embrace him as a friend and as someone that needs to be in charge of things at the FBI.
And when you hear that type of stuff, you just shake your head about Trump and say, what in the world is this guy thinking?
Or what's he drinking?
Because this is crazy.
Because, you know, if you can't tell that Rod Rosenstein is there as a fifth columnist trying to undermine Trump, then you're, you know, Ray Charles could see that.
What about Stevie Wonder?
Him too.
Okay.
Hey, another couple of quick announcements here.
We're working them in as we can and when we can.
We just celebrated the 14th anniversary last week, as you know.
Well, what does that make next year?
What does that make 2019, if you can do the math?
That'll be the 15th anniversary of TPC.
So one of the things I've already commissioned, and we're going to unveil it on January 1st of 2019, TPC's website, thepoliticalsubschool.org, is going to get a nice renovation, a nice facelift, a makeover in commemoration of 15 years on the air, which is going to be coming up, obviously, next year.
So that's going to be something I'm really excited about.
We're working with our web team.
It's going to be nice, new, fresh, clean, crisp, clear, but still have the same great functionality that you've come to know and love.
So you'll be able to get the shows there, the blog, et cetera, et cetera.
Everything there now, going to remain easy to navigate, but it's just going to have a nice new look.
Everybody likes a facelift from now and then.
So that's going to be coming up in January.
We are forward-thinking and progressive in the best sense of the word.
We always look forward to new things, and we don't try to stand pat, and we always want to improve.
And it's nice to have an aesthetic improvement as well.
So that's coming.
But if you want to see our web designers' newest creation, go to toclive.com, T-O-QLive.com.
I don't think people know to the extent that TPC actually is involved with all of these other groups.
I have been the distributor of the Occidental Quarterly for many years now and have worked closely with Kevin McDonald.
And of course, we're on the board of directors for the Council of Conservative Citizens, the American Freedom Party.
We work closely with really all the organizations.
That's the one thing the SBLC ever said that was true is that we are a nexus of sorts.
We're very closely related, have great relationships with all the good people.
And so we're doing this new thing called TOQ Live.
And what it is, it's going to be a monthly video series on YouTube with me and Kevin McDonald to promote the Occidental Quarterly.
Now, we have offered the Occidental Quarterly as an incentive to our donors for several years now.
And it's going to kick off.
We've been working on this for a couple of months.
The website just came live this week, and the first show is going to be tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock Eastern Time, Kevin and I were going to be live on YouTube.
So we're going from radio to television.
So it's like Sean Hannity.
He does a radio show and a TV show.
So nothing will change with TPC.
You'll just get me once a month, the first Sunday of every month on TOQ Live as well.
We're going to be bringing you the authors, the people behind the scenes that make the Occidental Quarterly Journal come to life.
And it's going to be an hour and a half show, first Sunday of every month, beginning tomorrow night.
So for more information about that, to watch it, to watch it live, to be able to participate in the chat room, TOQLive.com.
That's the Occidental Quarterly, T-O-QLive.com.
Join us tomorrow night, 8 o'clock Eastern Time, 7 Central.
Me and Kevin McDonald.
We're going to go at it for an hour and a half.
And it's going to be good stuff.
You've heard me and Kevin on the radio many, many times.
Now watch this on video.
We're always looking for ways to do more for the calls, Keith.
Well, I tell you, the Occidental Quarterly and the Occidental Observer, which is a related publication, it's basically on the internet, and the Occidental Quarterly is the print paper equivalent in a lot of ways.
But that's some of the best writing by the most scholarly intellectuals that you would ever want to meet.
And of course, because they dare go into the forbidden territory of Jewish power and influence and race, they are considered to be knuckle-dragging troglodons.
But you'll find out just how wrong that assessment is if you tune in to the Keith TOQ Live that James is going to be emceeing, basically.
Hey, if you like hearing me, wait till you can see me.
We'll be right back.
Cross the land.

This is Mercy.
It was never our destiny to stop the age of Obama.
It was merely to survive it.
Together, together.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask you, what is the KQ?
You know, the kosher question.
Most Americans will spend their entire lifetime purchasing food from the supermarkets while having no idea that almost every packaged food product on the grocery shelves is certified kosher.
Indeed, the kosher question encompasses not only food and religion, but also affects our economics, politics, and our identity.
In an effort to promote awareness to the kosher question, developers have published an app for your smartphone that features a database of food products that have not been kosher certified.
The KosherCertified app has prominent advertisement on TPC's homepage, or you can check out its website at thekosherQuestion.com.
With the cesspool of politics getting even deeper these days, why not leave the swamp and start eating in favor of your own interests?
Check out thekosherquestion.com today and download the app.
When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high.
And don't be afraid of the dark at the end of the storm.
There's a goal.
And the sweetest song.
Walk on the rain.
For your dreams be touched.
I'm blowing.
Walk on.
All right.
So, Keith, I think you called them the other group from Liverpool.
Right.
When the Beatles came out, they were the primary other group from Liverpool.
There's also a group called the Mersey Beats that was a little less well known than Jerry and the Pacemakers, too.
But that whole Liverpool rock scene back then with the Cavern Club and whatnot and screaming Lord Such and people like that.
That's really an interesting subculture that developed there.
And out of it came the Beatles primarily.
But then Jerry and the Pacemakers had a couple of big hits too, like Fairy Cross and Mersey.
And we're going to sing that in just a minute.
So just to hang on, you're going to sing it, not me.
We get Jack to sing it too.
Jack Ryan is the one who brought forth Jerry and the Makers for his intro music tonight, his song of the week.
So we had Jack on last week, of course, as he is on virtually every week to look back on favorite moments as part of the anniversary show.
But now we're back to the regular routine where Jack introduces his song of the week, his book and movie recommendations of the week and his theme of the week.
So we got the song.
He's going to tell us why.
Well, that's a song.
It's a song I like very much.
But it's also the club song of the Liverpool United Football Club.
And you can get 50,000 fans singing in unison their team song.
It's fantastic.
And when they, English Australians, when the club comes there, they sing it together.
And it's just very inspiring to see our people singing in unison.
And so that's something our people.
Certain different groups of our people, and I'm going to tell a joke about that, tend to be good and bad at some things.
But Americans need to be a lot better about group singing, group chanting, and group demos.
If you can just get your people inspired to sing your ethnic group or your team's song, it really helps it as opposed to just always talking and writing and complaining about.
Well, you know what?
You know what, Jack?
You're so right about that.
Sam Dixon has always said that group singing is a very powerful spiritual thing to do.
But you've been at both of our last two political sessible conferences, and we hold them intermittently.
You never know when we're going to hold them.
But we held one in 2014 and then again last year.
And the comment that I get the most from the people who have attended these events, the one thing that they love the most is the group singing of Dixie.
So there's just something about that group singing that ties binds.
I thought that they would try in the interest of fair play to play the Union Army song, the song about the Yanks are coming.
The Yanks aren't coming, but they didn't want to play the song.
Yeah, that's not going to happen.
Keith, you were going to say something.
No, all I was going to say is I think it would be, I'll take it one step further.
I think it would be good for soccer to become more popular among Americans.
Soccer?
Yeah, I think rugby today in Chicago, Ireland play Italy, and it's huge crowds.
Ireland beat Italy, and then a year ago I was there, and Ireland beat New Zealand for the first time in 100 years.
Rugby fans are rowdy and fun.
And the game of rugby is just a much better game than American football.
It's continuous.
It doesn't stop.
You don't have to sit through 87.
You can't be a fatso and play.
You know what the English say about soccer versus rugby?
They say that soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligans' game played by gentlemen.
It's more of a college soccer.
But it's something you can play.
It's certainly very rough, but you don't play.
It's not like gladiatorial slave game, which American football is becoming, and they've got those steel helmets.
They headbutt each other, and they may look good in high school and college, but by their 45, they're brain damaged and their hips don't work.
And I just think that rugby is just a much, much better game.
Well, not only that, in American football, it's apparently an athletic achievement to weigh 350 pounds.
And these guys are so out of shape that even after conditioning, they can't play four downs without being taken out.
You know, you never see them.
They're always Ironman football.
They didn't really play it anymore, is what you say.
No, well, but on the other hand, rugby is Ironman football, right, Jack?
I think people play both ways.
I think the field goal kicker has a little bit too much power in rugby.
But otherwise, I just highly recommend to get into it.
And the rugby crowds are really rowdy.
You want to be a little bit careful with your sister and daughter going to a rugby party because it's pretty chauvinistic, a guy's mate kind of thing.
But they're rugby.
They like it already.
And they'll stay on each other's.
They'll fight during the game, but then they make up and have beer round kegs and sleep on each other's couches.
They call it the laddie culture over there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's just, I highly recommend it.
The World Cup, rugby, it has way less teams than soccer, and it's much more European.
So, yes, get into the game, play it, support it, and let's get away from this American football, which is misnamed.
The only people that could kick the football in American football are the punter and the kicker.
They just misnamed the wrong team.
It should have been American rugby, but football is called soccer in England and Britain and places because people actually kick the football, which shows you how stupid a lot of our ancestors are.
I have never understood it.
It makes no sense.
But anyway, so that's why you picked the song.
Now, we've got Jack.
We're easing Jack back into this because we got him for two segments tonight, so there's no rush.
So Jack's going to close it out with me and Keith this evening.
So give us, Jack, then, your book and movie recommendations, and then we'll get to the theme with the whole final segment we have coming out.
Okay, so my book and movie, it's actually a television mini-series are the same.
It's Robert Graves, I Claudius.
There are a couple other books there about the first Roman emperor, Augustus Caesar and his family, and the intrigues in the family leading to the Emperor Claudius, who was a kind of a cripple of stammer, who was considered stupid, but he's a historian.
And it's fantastic about history.
And it brought about my love of the classics, the Greek and the Roman worlds.
And the BBC series in the 1970s is outstanding.
And this was at a time when American television had so many great classical BBC series that were presented by Sir Aleister Cook.
It's like you had Peter Brimlow and John Derbyshire presenting the great, greatest works of British classical history.
And it's fantastic.
And there's nothing like that today that I can even compare to that.
So that's Robert Graves, I Claudius, and the BBC miniseries of this evening.
So that's covering the book and movie or film series, as it were, on a television series in one.
And what a fun recommendation that is.
You know, we actually had a listener in California.
And Jack, you texted me about this, so your timing was uncanny.
There was a listener in California who reached out to me last week, and he said, can we get the definitive Jack Ryan recommendations collection?
Going back now, you've been with us a full year just about, Jack, as a regular contributor.
That's going to be tough to do because we – Unless you have a list of them.
Yeah.
Yeah, unless you compiled them and saved them in a diary because we spread you around each show.
You're never in the same segment twice.
You're like a utility guy.
It depends on the flow of the show.
We plug you in sometimes the first, sometimes the second, sometimes the third.
And I remember that other art, that other series you were talking about with Alistair Cook, Civilization, right?
Is that on your own in mind?
Upstairs, downstairs.
He just presented a British BBC television series for, I think it was PBS run out of Boston.
We still had some British English Anglo-Americans doing things in Boston.
I wonder if we still do.
Probably not.
But he just presented.
I think he was an older guy then, but he used to present.
He used to describe American culture to English people during, I think, the 40s in England.
And they did the reverse in the United States in the 60s and 70s.
And just a classical, well-educated, trained.
They had that great bad weather will really make you go for education that you see these English people that got a lot of time to be inside.
They're not playing beach volleyball with pretty girls in bikinis.
But really love that series, I Claudius.
It's violent and a bit risky, rough times and real corruption.
You see, we think we got some corruption sometimes.
You see Caligula and it's based mostly.
Yeah, the Roman historian Tacit is basically his presentation.
And he presents the Romans and then they're interacting with the Jews and Roman-dominated Germans.
And there's some of the Christians kind of come out.
I just think it's fair history.
There's no bad politics of any kind.
And it's just so different from what you see on now.
So I recommend starting clubs, getting your own Netflix accounts and running these movies, talking about them.
There's no reason you just have to accept what's pushed on you by Hollywood or the controlled media.
There's great works out there, and we just have to keep alive our culture and our civilization amongst our good people.
All right.
Well, you've got his book, movie, and song recommendations of the week.
Jack's going to tell you his theme of the week, his overall theme.
When we come back, we're going to wrap up the show with Keith singing Fairy Cross the Mercy.
Doubt that.
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, huh?
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.
And 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'd all these cats come from?
I reinstated a policy first put in place by President Ronald Reagan, the Mexico City Policy.
I strongly supported the House of Representatives' pain-capable bill, which would end painful late-term abortions nationwide.
And I call upon the Senate to pass this important law and send it to my desk for signing.
We are protecting the sanctity of life and the family as the foundation of our society.
And most importantly of all, it is the gift of life itself.
That is why we march.
That is why we pray.
And that is why we declare that America's future will be filled with goodness, peace, joy, dignity, and life for every child of God.

To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Every now and then we have a real educational moment.
A discussion during a commercial break that I would give anything if it could have happened on the air.
Now, Keith, explain what happened over the course of the last three minutes that only me, you, Sam Bushman, and Jack are privy to.
Well, Jane, excuse me, Jack's song of the week is Fairy Cross the Mersey.
No, no, no.
No, it was the other Jerry and the Pacemaker song, but that got me thinking about Fairy Cross.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, this is the other Jerry.
Jerry and the Pacemaker's biggest hit probably was Fairy Cross the Mersey.
And when Jack brought forth a Jerry and the Pacemaker song for his song of the week, of course, that makes me think of Fairy Cross the Mersey, which is one of James's favorites.
Yeah, and then on the other hand, we had to educate Sam, who is, you know.
Sam has to relay what we're saying to Jack because Jack's in Chicago.
We're in the studio in Memphis.
Sam's at the network studio in Utah.
So we have to relay to Sam to tell Jack what we want.
And what happened was we had to tell Sam that Fairy was not F-A-I-R-Y, but F-E-R-R-Y, like a ferry boat across a river.
And the Mersey is not Mersey, which is what Sam thought it was, but it's Mersey, M-E-R-S-E-Y, which is a river that flows through Liverpool, England.
Sam said not one person in the world would spell this song right, and I can see why.
I mean, I'm looking at it, and he thought cross was across, which a normal person would have.
Yeah, and I also told that fairy is used in this title of that song is a verb and not a noun.
So, but the whole point was we wanted Sam to ask Jack if he could sing it for us.
We had to get it explained, and Jack still didn't know the song.
Jack, how do you not know Fairy Cross the Mersey?
Well, you gotta, I don't know everything.
Mark knows it to know to know what he does not know.
So, I know a lot of people.
He's not as old as I am, probably.
Well, Keith, there was a time, there was a time song.
Long ago, long ago and far away, me, you and Eddie sang the what song did we sing on here?
We sang Liberty Valence.
Yeah, the man who shot Liberty Balance.
Which was a theme from a movie in the late 50s.
But the song never appeared in the movie, and Gene Pitney never understood why.
Well, he recorded it too late to get out with the release of the movie, but he recorded it, and most people that saw the movie associated it with the Gene Pitney version of the song.
Not the well, it's a great song.
It is.
It's wonderful.
Gene Pitney had some great hits.
Do you remember who Gene Pitney was, Jack?
No, no, I confess I don't.
Oh, this to Jack, this is really going to damage your standing here with us.
I don't know anybody that knows who Gene Pitney is.
All right, Keith.
After all this buildup, we got to sing Fairy Cross the Mersey, at least the first couple of lines.
What do you think?
Well, you think you can do that sing, but try to avoid the vibrato that you would normally do.
All right, folks.
Sometimes the man has to make his own way.
I can't get anybody to go with me.
Sometimes you have to blaze your own trail.
So if you know the song, sing along.
Life goes on day after day, heart torn in every way.
So fairy cross the Mersey.
Cousin stands the place I love.
And here I'll stay.
All right, we can stop right there.
You said you weren't going to sing it, and then you fell in line.
I know that.
Yeah, I know it.
I know that.
If I had gotten it in before that I could have heard the video, I could have done improve the singing.
Go to YouTube.
We'll sing another song next week.
We could do this a weekly thing now.
Okay.
All right.
Enough horseplay.
Enough monkey shots.
Let's get back to the theme.
We do have fun here if we do anything.
Jack, do your theme of the week, my friend.
Okay, well, the elections are.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, is Sam queuing up something here?
He's queuing the song up.
I don't remember.
There it is.
Hang on a second, Jack.
That's how it's supposed to sound.
I think we did better.
That's it.
We'll put that up on the website.
It's a messy.
Yeah, it's a good tune.
Good tune.
Good tune.
Anyway.
All right, guy who's loyal to his roots.
If we, yeah, and if we're that, if nothing else.
And Jack, if we didn't have you for two segments tonight, we wouldn't waste your time like this.
But anyway, let's get to your theme of the week and you take it, Hal, brother.
Okay, well, the elections are coming up, and I'm not going to try to tell everyone what they should do or how they should go.
I made that mistake once before when I fled New York City in the early 90s.
I went back to Tennessee, and I felt I had to warn everyone I met about what was coming, the Islamic terrorist attacks, about the neocon Zionist wars in Iraq, and try to get in there.
Even though it's completely right, it was too much to try to tell people kind of what to do.
So the election's coming up.
I would just say participate in it.
We got a good national candidate.
Some things are going away.
But look for local talent.
Look for youth.
Look for people who know how to raise money.
Look for some famous person, a football coach or something who everybody identifies and likes in the state.
We got to compete and work and win at the state and local elections.
Don't try to do some old policy wonk, some guy about economics, the Constitution.
Just get involved.
The other, our adversaries, particularly the lower cast of people, they can get whipped up into a national presidential election, but they can't do things like the county board chairman and the education board and elections like that.
And we can schedule elections on different days.
So get involved locally and look around for local talent.
I think that we're going to do okay.
So that's just my advice.
So my theme is more stupid things that our people say and did.
And I listed in past shows the stupid things that John Lennon said in imagine, imagine there's no countries and that we're all together.
And exactly the same stupid thing that Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence, where we're supposed to, they know it's a truth to be self-evident that every single man in the world is created equal.
And I guess every single male child in Afghanistan, in Nigeria, has an equal right to move to our country.
So these are stupid things that our people say.
So I want to add another one.
It's the German philosopher Nietzsche.
And this is a famous quote.
That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
Now, just think about that.
What happens if you get run over with a truck and your leg gets crushed and they cut off your leg?
Does that make you stronger?
So these persecutions that we're doing, we're losing all of our platforms for Facebook, Twitter.
It might take away our right to use credit cards or something.
So the people that say that bad means good, that that's just better.
They're just idiots.
You know, don't let people.
We want to do better.
We don't want to, you know, we don't want our people to be beaten up or fired from their jobs or things like that.
So self is the way to go.
We've been talking about that this evening.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just Nietzsche has a lot of interesting insights.
You take parts of it.
I can't read his book straight through.
Really smart.
He's all over the place.
And this one quote, if you ever hear that quote from anybody, just a stiff jab to the nose and the hook, because it's just, it's something.
So if it makes these unkill them, they've just got a broken nose.
Does that make them better?
Yeah.
Yeah, it could lead to your demise.
Well, I will say I agree with what you're saying, Jack, entirely.
And with a modicum of defense on behalf of Thomas Jefferson, I think what he was writing there, the context of that was that the American citizens were equal to King George.
He said that people were equal in terms of their rights before the sovereign.
Of course, that wasn't true then.
It ain't true now.
Well, it's certainly been hijacked.
I don't think he was saying that these other people were equal to the people.
In fact, he said in later life in correspondence with John Adams that in terms of intelligence and ethical and moral standards, that a more correct statement would be that no two men were ever created equal.
Yeah, well, he just contradicted his own stupid comment.
I just think that's one of the most stupid things any American leaders ever said.
And then, again, if he believed in universal equality, why wouldn't it be?
It sure has caused a lot of trouble since then.
Yeah, that's for sure.
It's just a contradiction.
I mean, he was a nice slave owner.
He saw that his slaves were well-fed and they have better lives than indentured servants or chimney sweeps in London.
But it's just a ridiculous thing.
And it comes to a lot of politics, and I'm afraid a lot of corrupt forms of jail Christianity, like St. Paul saying, there's no Greeks and Jews.
There's no free and slave.
There's no men and women.
There's just those who've accepted Jesus.
And everybody's going to be equal under this utopia that's coming.
And that's just not the way it is.
That's not.
All of those comments are like opening Pandora's box, aren't they?
Yeah.
It's just ridiculous.
I mean, anybody says there's no difference between men and women.
You ask any four-year-old, and they'll just say, no, I'm a boy.
There's a girl.
So you have to be confused and corrupted to start going in this universalism, this sexless, nationless, utopian stuff.
And it comes in.
I'd like to get some of my theme songs.
And anytime somebody starts pushing some of that crap, and it could be libertarian universalism, just play the John Lennon song, Imagine.
Oh, imagine there's no countries and we're all living as one.
And then, you know, just strip them of their clothes and drop them off in the worst neighborhood of Chicago.
We just hit 500 murders for the year.
Again, that's like every year, last 40 years.
We're on track for 3,000 shooting.
So people like to say everything, that's just equal to the safest neighborhood in San Diego or something or Bell Mead in Nashville, Tennessee.
Forget it, man.
We live in the real world.
We got to deal with real.
But of course, those aren't important.
If you have 10 of those years in Chicago, you come up with a number that is larger than the number of people that were lynched between the Civil War and the civil rights movement.
It doesn't seem to phase them.
Well, I got to tell you, before Jack runs, he is an eligible bachelor, ladies.
And we're going to be auctioning him off here on TPC.
So get your bids ready.
That's coming up in a future show.
Hey, Jack's single, and he's ready to mingle.
If you want to marry one of the TPC crew, send me an email.
