You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
Trees swaying in the summer breeze, showing off their silver leaves, as we walked by.
Some kisses on a summer day, laughing all our cares away.
Just you and I. Sweet, sleepy warmth.
Welcome, everybody, to tonight's live broadcast of TPC.
It is Saturday, June the 15th.
That means we are smack dab in the middle of the month that is smack dab in the middle of the year.
I guess you could say we have reached the halfway point of our broadcasting year, 2019, in the year of our Lord, Keith.
I'm James Edwards, Keith Alexander with me tonight.
Another year at the halfway point.
I tell you, time does go by, and Father Time is undefeated.
But as we continue to age and this show continues to move forward in what is now its 15th year, aging like a fine wine, I would hope we are, in your opinion, ladies and gentlemen.
And I'll say, I think last week's show, we had a lot of fun last week.
It's hard to quantify what is the best show of the year.
I mean, it depends on what your issue is and who your favorite guests are.
But I think in many ways, last week's show may have been our most entertaining of the year, or at least the one that was the most fun for me to broadcast.
It just seemed like last week was a real rollicking rock and roll type show.
It was freewheeling.
There's no doubt about that.
And that's really, that spontaneity is something that I think we can do.
We've been together so long now, James.
I swear it's like what we finished sentences for each other.
That's right.
No, there's no doubt about it.
I mean, there's a palpable chemistry and we enjoy.
Well, I think it all stems from the fact that we really enjoy what we do here on this radio broadcast.
We're proud of the work that we put forth here for you on the AM and FM Radio Airwaves every week.
But above me on that, of course, we're very pleased with what we're able to accomplish for our greater cause, both on the air and outside the studios in areas where we have influence.
But that being said, I love this show.
And we just put up, I don't know what you would call it.
I guess you would call it a list.
Let's just call it a list.
A list of all of our guests that have been featured on the show thus far this year, up to date as of last week's show.
And it's just wonderful to see the people we have on and the topics that we're able to discuss.
And, you know, we've settled into certainly a rhythm and a routine over these 15 years.
We have identified who we believe to be the most capable spokespeople of our movement and of the issues that we cover on this show.
And we feature them in a regular rotation.
I don't know, maybe there's 20 or 30 guests that we feature pretty regularly.
Every now and then, a new one will break through.
And by the way, if there are people out there that are doing good work that would be a good fit for this show that we are not featuring, we want to hear from you because we always want to reach out and build bridges.
As the Southern Poverty Law Center called us so many years ago, we are the nexus of the movement with regards to where we stand in radio.
And we want to be working with good people.
That has always been one of the main things I envisioned doing when we started this show was serving as a bridge that would promote and support and encourage other like-minded organizations and people.
So let us know who we can bring to a wider audience's attention here on TPC.
And tonight we're going to be bringing back one of our favorites.
Well, really two of our favorites, but one who has been appearing for time and immemorial, Kevin McDonald.
And then, of course, Jason Kuna, who has really broken through in the last year or two in his own right with his very popular live stream and his book, Born Guilty.
Jason Kuna will be on tonight as well.
So, Keith?
Well, you know, it's a constant changing cast of characters.
It's a passing parade here.
I was just looking at one of the things that you have framed here at the studio, and it's the 2005 Leadership Conference for the Council of Conservative Citizens in Montgomery, Alabama.
Now, why that one was framed above all of the other events we've spoken at over the years?
I believe that was my first speech to give after we started the Political Cessible.
So, this would have been in the spring of 2005.
The show started, of course, in the fall of 2004.
And just look at, you know, so many changes we had.
Sam Dixon is still around, of course.
Bill Lord, you know, is passed on, I believe.
And then we have Colonel John Edmoz or something.
Then Brent Nelson, I remember him.
He was a great intellectual light for a long time.
Reverend Robert Slimp, Don Casey, Alan Williams, Sonny Landham, the actor from Predator.
Who we actually made his entry into our cause, such as it was, through his contact with the Political Cessible and then was working with other organizations and starting a lot of big movies in the 80s, action movies.
And then Gordon Baum, who is Brad Griffin's wife, Renee's father, Brad's father-in-law.
Jared Taylor, he's another Evergreen that was there.
And then Dr. Charles Baker.
George Wallace Jr.
George Wallace Jr. was there too.
Yeah, exactly.
See, there's always movement, but, you know, the principles stay the same.
I think we've got more talented young people, more talented tech people involved in our movement now.
And I think that our movement is consequently getting a toehold more so than before in the mainstream.
Let's just call it out.
Basically, the internet has been something that we have been able to master.
Well, others more so than we.
I mean, we're still here on AM radio.
Now we do have, you know, obviously a live stream and archives and all of that.
But what some of these other people are doing on YouTube is very encouraging.
And it was stuff that wasn't going on years ago.
It certainly wasn't going on when we founded this broadcast.
This broadcast, in fact, gave inspiration to a lot of people to get involved in their own way.
And their way was on YouTube.
But that is actually something.
I'm glad you brought that up, Keith.
That's something we're going to be talking about later in depth with Jason Kuna, who is one of these talented content creators who has suffered from what has been, I believe to date, the biggest strike for censorship that we've yet endured.
And so Jason will be on to talk about that and the way forward and how these people can continue to have a voice that are operating out there on the internet only and reaching so many people.
And I say internet, I mean, you look at that like, you know, that's not a look.
I mean, they're reaching a ton of people.
And it may not have the mainstream credibility and legitimacy that some other people's work could have, but they are reaching.
You look at the numbers and it can't be discounted that they are reaching out to people.
The fact that it's such a big issue with the left, with the media, with these social media platforms, it's like they're trying to swap gnats.
They just can't get us all.
And people are reimagining themselves under different names and things like this.
And, you know, back in 2005, everything was published.
You know, you had a little tracks published and whatnot, and you would circulate those among your friends.
But now, we're reaching a much larger audience, and we're a much bigger headache to particularly the mainstream conservatives, people like the National Review and whatnot.
Those things are dying.
Weekly Standard has already died.
Could you imagine, Keith, what it would have been like to have been an activist in the 80s?
I mean, God knows a lot of the people you just mentioned were doing that and more.
But, I mean, how in the world would you reach people?
You'd have to do it through flyering and leaving brochures underneath the windshield wiper and parking lots.
I mean, you'd have to do it.
Mail is the only way you really could have done it.
I just don't see how.
But of course, there were activists.
There were very, very, very large gatherings and meetings.
I mean, people were, how do people stay in touch before internet and telephones and cell phones and all of this?
But certainly they did.
Well, what happened basically in the beginning in the civil rights movement, the left was in charge of the media.
And the medium is the message, as Marshall McLuhan said.
They controlled public perceptions through broadcast media.
The civil rights movement, for example, was the first time in history that the police were successfully portrayed as the bad guys and lawbreakers as the good guys in the public imagination.
And because of that, because of their adeptness with that, and that's what Drew Lackey goes into in that tape that we're offering now as an inducement in our current fundraising drive.
But he saw making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.
The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.
The solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.
Have we realized the assault against our lives, our liberties, our faith?
To defeat this assault, Christians and all people of goodwill should have strategies to prevail in our faith and principles, which are simple.
No need for a complex formula.
One goal, one aim.
A strategy like the heroic Christians of the past.
We win, they lose.
Nothing less.

Well, you know, folks, to tell you the truth, sometimes we do get so eager here at TPC, we just completely disregard those commercial breaks.
And we didn't slow down.
We didn't pump the brakes.
We didn't do anything before that last commercial.
We just ran smack dab into the wall.
And I had a feeling.
I looked down at the clock while Keith was holding court and I was like, I think we missed a commercial break.
Sure enough, I pull up my monitor and I hear the music and we're midway through a commercial break.
So I don't know exactly where we got cut off before the first break of the evening, but it was a good break to take.
It's time to get down to work.
We were holding a little court, a little friendly banner, a little southern porch talk, as we do for the opening segment on most weeks.
But let's get down to it.
We got Kevin McDonald, Jason Kuna, two great guests coming up, but a lot of stories to cover before we get to them.
So let's begin it in earnest.
I love Alabama, Keith.
You know that.
I love the South.
I love the heart of Dixie.
Alabama has been on a roll lately.
So we have the abortion bill, the pro-life bill.
The heartbeat bill, as I sought to call it, which we're certainly very much in favor of.
And then, of course, we got news that they're banning pro-homosexual cartoons from Alabama's public broadcasting network.
So that's good.
Long overdue move, I might add.
And now, this just came out this week.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signs chemical castration bill into law.
So what's going on here is that Alabama just signed into law a measure that will force someone convicted of a sex offense against a child under the age of 13 to be chemically castrated.
That's one thing.
What does that mean, James?
Well, it does go into it.
So they basically take these treatments that by either through tablets or injection that take away the sexual interest of the male and make it impossible for a person to perform sexual acts if you want to just put a fine, you know, fine point on it.
So basically, you know, they're not going to be doing any of that stuff.
So it's the opposite of Viagra, I guess.
I guess you could say that.
But putting forth the country's most robust pro-life legislation.
Now, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.
I'm very skeptical that it's actually going to be allowed to stand.
You know, you've got these judges that have more power than the people, more power than the president, more power than the states.
You know, some rogue judge is going to have his day with that.
And certainly it's hard to believe that that's going to be allowed to stand in this degenerate, corrupt antichrist society.
But it still shows that the people of Alabama are right on point that trying to protect their children from the immorality that we have being piped into our homes through television.
And then now this chemical castration thing, they're serious about protecting kids in Alabama.
Well, they're thinking outside the box, kind of like President Trump was thinking outside the box when he used tariffs as a tool to force more effort out of the Mexican government at controlling the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.
I thought that was, you know, quite frankly, an innovative use of tariffs.
Tariffs are a great thing.
These people that tell you that everybody that tells you that tariffs are a bad thing has drunk the Kool-Aid from the neocon right.
I want to say one more thing about this whole issue of life, the pro-life.
Now, Alabama is just one of several southern states, and to my knowledge, exclusively southern states, which goes, again, to show and to prove, to further prove that there is a separate and distinct culture here in the South that is very different from the surrounding states once you get outside of the South.
And that is, of course, having that separate culture as a prerequisite for being an independent nation or being a separate nation, which, of course, the South still is in many ways.
But the Southern states are passing these pretty robust pro-life bills.
And Disney CEO Bob Iger said that Disney, and again, to go to show how far Disney has fallen from the man himself, Disney may cease filming in Georgia if the new, what they call anti-abortion law takes effect, quote, if the bill becomes law, I don't see how it's practical for us to continue to shoot there.
So here you have it.
Because the state of Georgia wants to limit the number of children who are murdered by their mothers in that state, you have these big Hollywood companies.
And Georgia has become a big, big, big filming location, probably in the United States, second only to Hollywood.
Over the last few years, the film industry has really boomed in Georgia.
And Disney is just one of many studios that are saying they're going to pull up stakes to get out of Georgia if this passes, which, of course, I think millions of conservative Christian Georgians would probably be happy with.
Right.
Yeah, they don't call it Hollywood Babylon for nothing.
You know, if I were Georgian, I'd say thank you very much.
You know, you can keep all your perversions out there on the left coast.
Well, of course, you know, Georgia's getting a lot of money.
You know, I'm sure.
Yeah, a lot of money to promote a lot of people that don't want to work for a living, these want to be posur artists and whatnot.
You know, I'd prefer they be attracted out to the left coast for the most part.
The one thing I don't get is the left's very unique play on words that they use.
Words don't mean what you think they mean.
I mean, when you say reproductive rights, you would think, you know, the rights for women to actually be able to reproduce, right?
No, they're talking about abortion.
They're saying, don't mess with my reproductive rights.
I mean, how is it a reproductive right for you to murder your kids?
It seems like that's the exact opposite of what it is.
Well, that's what the left has always been.
You know, for example, the civil rights movement wasn't pro-black, which is what it pretended to be.
It was anti-white.
The feminist movement wasn't pro-woman.
It was anti-male.
You know, the homosexual rights movement wasn't pro-homosexual so much as it was anti-heterosexual.
That's the key to unlocking the template.
That's how they're planned parenthood.
You're not planning to be a parent.
You're planning not to be a parent.
You are anti-family.
This isn't a pro-family type of thing.
Yeah, just listen to what the left is saying and what they intend is the exact opposite.
But we need to take it a step further.
I mean, we really do.
I mean, I like the chemical castration.
I like that we're not trying to murder or making it at least a little more difficult.
And you can still certainly murder your baby if you want to in this country.
You might just have to drive across a state line or you may have to do it a little earlier instead of waiting until they're born or whatever or nearly born.
But this is a country, obviously, over the course of the last 75 years that has full-on embraced dysgenics.
Now, what, of course, is dysgenics?
Dysgenics is the notion that tends to promote survival of or reproduction by less well-adapted individuals, such as the weak or diseased, or even the people who are incapable of providing for their children.
These are the people that our society gives the welfare to.
That they don't encourage the strong and the healthy or the people who would be naturally married couples, couples that want to raise responsible families.
No, they make those types of families pay through the nose and make their mothers work and you have to send them to private school.
As you said, Keith, if you live in a diverse area, you can only have as many children as you can afford to send to private school unless you homeschool.
And in a lot of cases, the woman has to work as well in order to make ends meet.
You're going to be working hard.
You just won't be paying money.
But you either work hard to make the money to send them to private school or you work hard to educate them at home in addition to doing all the other parental and familial duties that you have.
And that's the way that was a brilliant insight, James, because they are encouraging and making it easy for the unfit to have as many children as possible.
The people that have proven that they are not good parents, the people that have children out of wedding.
Irresponsible people.
Yeah, the people whose children are always getting into trouble with the law and stuff like that.
Everything is paid for carte blanche for them.
On the other hand, for people that are responsible citizens and want to actually care for and raise their children properly and traditionally, they've thrown so many roadblocks in their path.
It's incredible.
I know it's become a dirty word because of its use by the Nazis, but healthy societies prior to the 40s all were relatively in favor of eugenics.
And that is, of course, the exact opposite of dysgenics, the science of improving a human population.
Why would you do dysgenics?
Because you want to destroy the society.
We'll take this break more seriously, folks.
Hang on.
We're going to take a break.
We'll come back and a quick follow-up on this and then more absurd stories from Why Merica, as they put it.
Stay tuned.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA Radio News with Chris Barnes.
A judge has issued an order to allow Missouri's only remaining abortion clinic to stay open for at least 10 more days.
State health officials say they're reviewing the license of that planned parenthood facility in St. Louis for medical safety.
Physicians there say the health department's trying to put the clinic out of business.
The medical director of the facility, David Eisenberg, says it's just a small battle won in a larger war.
I join my colleagues, the city of St. Louis and all Missourians everywhere in celebrating this hard-fought but temporary victory.
It keeps abortion accessible, at least for now.
They're hunting for a man who shot an off-duty Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy in the head while he was waiting for his food at a jack-in-the-box fast food restaurant last evening.
The deputy remains now in critical condition.
And you're listening to USA Radio News.
Do you wish you could get better sleep and maybe lose a few pounds?
Maybe more than a few pounds.
Well, there's this product called Calatran that helps with both sleep and weight loss.
Just listen to what people are saying about it.
I've been taking Calatrim for right about three months and I've lost 24 pounds and 19 overall inches.
But my sleep has improved.
I have so much more energy and I have the desire to succeed more than ever.
Anyone who needs weight loss, more energy, and better sleep.
This product really does deliver.
I'm Roger.
Over the three months that I took the product, my sleeping habits are increasingly much better.
I got a better night's sleep, and I just can't say enough about the product and how it makes you feel.
Also, I additionally lost a little bit of weight on the program as well.
Hi, this is Ericson.
I take Teletrin for weight loss, and I've lost about 20 pounds, and I feel great.
Talatrin is scientifically proven to help with sleep and weight loss safely and effectively.

President Trump's in Iowa today.
He'll be in the western half of the state touring an ethanol plant before attending a GOP fundraiser in West Des Moines.
Former vice president and Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden also in the state on the eastern side for several campaign events.
Former Major League Superstar David Ortiz's assistant says the longtime Red Sox sucker shooting was the act of hitmen.
Leo Lopez speaking to reporters in Santa Domingo yesterday about the Sunday night shooting saying it wasn't a robbery and was quote no doubt an act of hitmen.
The 43-year-old Ortiz now being treated at a Boston hospital after the Red Sox sent a plane to pick him up from the Dominican Republic yesterday.
No arrests have been made in the shooting.
Manager of the Red Sox, Alex Cora, who also hails from the Dominican Republic, says...
Back home, you know, they talk about superheroes without capes, and he's a superhero without capes.
That's the way we see him, you know.
So he'll be okay.
And this is USA Radio News.
Welcome back.
Get on the show.
Call us on James's Dine at 1-866-986-6397.
We took seriously that last commercial break, folks, and in taking it, I wasn't able to quite develop my thought that I was getting into, which is on eugenics.
And I think any responsible nation should have a eugenics program.
Now, what are we saying?
Are we saying that people we don't like or people who may not be contributing members of society to the extent that other people are?
Are we saying that they should not be allowed to have children?
No, we're not saying that.
Everybody should have the right to have children.
And basically, what you're saying is that we don't need to have a dysgenics.
Which is what we've got.
Now, what I am saying, though, is the people who are on who are irresponsible and unfit to be parents.
And you know what we're talking about here.
If you want me to illustrate that, all people are encouraged to have children.
We're talking about the welfare queen with seven or eight kids from eight or nine different fathers.
And you can't say anything negative about it or you're a hater.
Just a drain on society.
I'm not saying she shouldn't be allowed to have as many kids as she wants, but why encourage it by subsidizing that sort of life?
They're taking all of nature and God's natural penalties for that irresponsible behavior away from the, you know, they provide the money, they provide the health care, they provide everything.
Now, Keith, I'm a father.
You're a father.
How many subsidies did we get?
I'm still in my child raising years.
I mean, between the two of us, how many kickbacks?
How many subsidies?
How many?
I guess we got the tax credit or something for having children.
That was about it.
Well, they get that too, to be sure.
No, in fact, they get the earned income credit.
They get paid not to work or to work just a little bit.
They work a few months out of the year just so they can show that they're a wage earner.
And then if their wages are below a certain amount, then they get all this money.
That's what all these ghetto tax return places are about.
Nobody has got a regular tax return on what all of us would think of as a tax return.
They're basically just harvesting earned income credits for people.
Bottom line is the contributing members of society, the people who can provide for children, who can bring children in.
Now, I'm not saying if you make a mistake, you don't have a support group that can help you, your extended family, but it should be that, not the taxpayer, not the government.
And we are discouraging the best and the most capable of our society from having children.
We see that in our birth rates.
And the other people, of course, are proliferating because they are the ones that are, of course, encouraging them.
Dysgenics versus eugenics, but that gets back to the abortion, the castration.
Well, all it gets into other things, too.
Look, just think about, for example, we have all this medical research done for AIDS and all this medical research done for sickle cell anemia and stuff like this.
What about just regular cancer for adults or heart attacks?
That's not getting near as much attention because the people in charge of our society are on a full dysgenics program.
They don't want God's normal disincentives for sinful behavior.
You know, they said the wages of sin are death.
Well, they want to change that.
They want to write that out.
Basically, you can act as immorally and irresponsibly as possible as you possibly can.
And they're there to make sure that they cushion the blow and that there's no adverse consequences to the person that's done that.
That's it.
I mean, we spend plenty of time on that.
They get it.
Dysgenics versus eugenics.
We live in a dysgenic society.
A healthy society would be the exact opposite of that.
Now, let's move on to something totally different.
Keith, if you own something, what would that make you?
An owner.
There you go.
Now, you probably know where I'm going with this.
So the NBA finals have been in full tilt this week.
The Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors are playing for the championship if you keep up with sports.
Or basketball.
Yeah, that's in basketball, correct.
And one of the star players for the Warriors, Draymond Green, has found out there's something racist out there that was not known to the wider community until Draymond discovered it this week during the NBA finals.
And he said that the term owner is racist.
And so to have the man who owns an NBA team to be referred to as the team's owner makes him feel like he's a slave working on the plantation, even though he gets, oh, God, I don't know, what, $10 million a year to go play basketball?
He says the term is racially insensitive.
And the NBA owners said, oh, yes, how did we not see this?
And we're going to call ourselves chairman now of the, we're the team's chairman.
We're going to get away.
We're going to move away from the word owner.
Well, then chairman is sexist.
You know, it needs to be chairperson, right?
Yeah, well, they didn't think, yeah, I think they were so.
We got to follow this thread out to the end, apparently.
You know, the newspeak of we have Orwellian Newspeak is here, and we're living with it, folks.
Now refer to their owner as a limited partner.
Whereas the owner of the Clippers is now going to be referred to as the chairman of the Clippers.
Yeah, well, what they're going to do is the owners are going to be the boobs and the boss men are going to be the guys playing.
So, you know, the owners typically sit in their luxury boxes or they may set courtside, they may set up in the suite, but to have the owner setting up in the suite looking down on the players who are.
They're going to have to put those boxes below floor level so they can look up.
Maybe they need to be playing on a glass floor so they can that'll be the glass seat.
Well, this is the problem with the NBA.
say the NBA is very diverse.
NBA gets an A-plus for diversity.
The NBA is over 90% black.
I would consider that to be not very diverse at all.
What's the diversity in it being nearly 100% black?
Go back to the first hour.
What were the first parts of the show?
The words don't mean what we think they mean.
They mean exactly the opposite.
When the left talks about diversity, they're talking about lack of diversity.
They want as long as you have all black people or all non-white people in your organization, that's perfectly okay.
If you don't have what they consider to be an overwhelming majority of non-white people, then you have a diversity problem.
So there you have it, folks.
If something is truly diverse, there is a wide cross-section, a true mixture.
And I think, again, within our own people, we have all the diversity we need between the Slavic, the Germanic, the Norman.
A lot of diversity comes from us, right?
That's where the green eyes come from, the blue eyes come from, the brown eyes.
But that's an aside.
That's an aside.
But I'll just say, I mean, to society, diversity is something when it's nearly 100% non-white.
That's truly diverse.
To me, I would say the NBA is not diverse.
Anyway, again, the play on words, but I'm reading it now, and he was talking about the word owner.
He said, the word, this is his direct quote, the word owner master, it dates back to slavery.
We don't need to stand for this.
We took the words and continued to put it into use.
So aren't you glad, Keith, that we have these people like Draymond who gets paid essentially $10 million to complain and growl and to tell us what's now racist?
Well, see, you talk about the reversal of what things mean.
He is the oppressed guy making $10 million plus a year.
I wish someone would oppress me and you like that.
That would certainly, you know, I need, where do I sign up for my heat?
For a fair share of oppression.
We get excited when somebody sends us two bits.
No, I'm just, and of course, you know, I said this in a recent interview that I did.
I really don't know how much of this is serious, if they truly believe it, or if it's just another way to get a dig.
And, you know, if the media really considers us to be white supremacists or if they just say that because it's, you know, it's just part of their act.
I mean, I don't really think any sane person could believe that we are what they say we are or that Draymond could believe that he's oppressed.
Well, see, you just put this again.
It's 180 degrees.
They accuse us of being white supremacists when they are non-white supremacists or black supremacists.
See, Draymond is a black supremacist.
And let me tell you something about it.
I was a child of the 80s.
I was born in 1980.
I played basketball.
So while I was growing up, I watched basketball.
And certainly the NBA was very diverse, even in the 80s and 90s.
But I will tell you this.
Some of the black basketball players back then, most of all, for the most part, they weren't these thug-like players that we've got now.
And that's what I'm telling you.
People like Draymond are thugs.
You can say it's because they're black.
No, I'm saying it because he's a thug.
And it was just all of this stuff, this hip-hop rap culture.
I mean, black players, even back in the 80s, they played basketball.
They gave interviews.
They were well-spoken.
I mean, you could understand what they were saying when they would give an interview.
I mean, I doubt their politics matched up with ours, but, you know, it wasn't with the NBA now, just so much crime.
I mean, these people go out and commit crime, crime, crime.
You read about NBA multi-millionaires committing petty crimes all the time.
You didn't have that even back as early as possible.
See, the left is in a constant, never-ending project to destroy and tear down our society.
So consequently, the more pernicious elements of the black community or black behavioral patterns are being the ones that are increasingly celebrated.
You know, we're not, we can't have any of these Oreo cookies around anymore that are black on the outside but acting white on the inside.
You know, we've got to have people in here that are authentic.
You know, so this is the authenticity is basically dysfunction.
We talked last week about a lot of anniversaries.
The anniversary of the Liberty being attacked by Israel, the anniversary of Andrew Jackson's death.
I think there was another one or two in there.
Another anniversary is taking place this week.
And we'll tell you about it as soon as we come back.
I'd invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.
The press has created a rigged system.
They even want to try and rig the election.
Well, I tell you what, it helps in Ohio that we got Democrats in charge of the machines.
And poisoned the mind of so many of our voters.
At the polling booth, where so many cities are corrupt and voter fraud is all too common.
And then they say, oh, there's no voter fraud in our country.
I come from Chicago.
So, so I want to be honest.
It's not as if it's just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past.
Sometimes Democrats have to.
You know, whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to tilt things in their direction.
There's no voter fraud.
You start whining before the game's even over.
Whenever things are going badly for you and you lose, you start blaming somebody else, and you don't have what it takes to be in this job.
Hi, I'm Patty, wife of former Congressman Steve Stockman.
In Congress, Steve sought impeachment of Eric Holder for his corruption of the Justice Department and his fast and furious gun running that caused border agent Brian Talley's death.
Steve called for arrest of Lois Lerner for her contempt of Congress as it investigated her targeting of conservative nonprofit groups.
After four years, four grand juries, and millions of tax dollars, Steve Stockman is in prison.
His case involved four checks to nonprofits.
DOJ has one standard for Hillary Clinton, but another for folks like President Trump and my husband.
We've spent all our savings, all Steve's retirement, and much of mine.
Steve Stockman has fought for you and America.
Won't you join me now to fight for Steve?

Yeah, this is David in engineering.
This is your wife in suburbia.
Oh, hi, honey.
What's up?
How's the robot coming?
Well, it doesn't exactly respond to requests yet, but um.
Well, I know how frustrating that can be.
You do.
I'm still waiting for my romantic lunch date.
Oh, yeah.
David.
Well, I must not have enough memory, allocated.
Uh-huh.
Sorry.
You know, your son said mama today.
Really?
Uh-huh.
Well, we'll have to have that sound changed to a daddy.
Well, you could reprogram it yourself, you know.
I know.
Hey, why don't we do it over lunch today?
Oh, you really are brilliant.
Thanks.
You want me to bring the robot?
David.
He can order pasta in 11 languages.
Only if he pays for his own lunch.
Okay.
Oh, don't forget to bring Chip.
I still wish we hadn't named him that.
Well, why?
It beats general default.
Oh.
Family, isn't it about time?
Do you know that a baby processes information three times faster than an adult?
An adult what, engineer.
I'll see you next time.
I can't wait.
From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James' Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
But today there is no day or night.
Today there is no dark or light.
Shades of Grey by the Monkees.
That's going to have to be one of our weekly musical selections there that we feature every Sunday morning.
Very appropriate, very fitting.
Keith just came in during the middle of that last commercial break and said, I got a song that ties into exactly what we're talking about right now.
Keep telling why exactly it does.
Because everything is relative.
That's it.
You know, cultural relativity from Franz Boas and other leftists all through the century.
They basically are trying to turn people away from traditional norms of wrong and right, what's good and bad, what's weak and strong, just like the monkey said.
And today, there are only shades of gray and stat, and that's what they're preaching to us, but actually they're trying to turn everything on its head.
Dysgenics is better than eugenics.
Immorality is better than morality.
Illegal, illegitimate birth is better than birth to a married couple.
And then we haven't even gotten into the words that are the exact opposite.
Planned parenthood means planning not to be a parent.
Right, exactly.
See, everything is not a good thing.
Productive rights means making sure you take it.
This is Orwellian New Speak and Orwellian New Think.
Very good, Keith.
I thought I was familiar with the entire monkeys catalog, the great late Davy Jones, Peter Jones.
So you weren't a DJ in the 70s like I was.
No, yes, that's right.
Keith's former life, he spun those 45s, I guess.
That's right.
All right.
Well, Ben still ended up back in radio.
That's a long and broken road.
That's a long road.
A long and winding road, as Beatles says.
That's right.
Okay, well, here's an anniversary for you, folks.
It was a year ago this week that I was thrown out of church.
Well, actually, that's not accurate.
That's not accurate.
It was a year ago this year.
The church was thrown out of the denomination.
It was a year ago this week that my entire church was thrown out of the denomination because they would not throw me out as a member to find some passing curry.
Well, as the monkey says, because you wouldn't just stand and let things go on.
You actually, when a man should fight and when he should just stand and stand aside or whatnot, it says in that song.
Because James is like the little boy that told the emperor he had no clothes.
He's going to tell things as they are.
Well, the people in charge of the Southern Baptist Convention could not stand that.
And because he was outspoken, doesn't matter whether it's true or false, you can't speak out on the issues that they don't want you to speak out on or else you will be cast out of your church.
Well, you know, I think it was Aesop who said, know me by the company I keep.
Well, unlike the judges in Michigan, I am very proud of the company I keep.
And furthermore, I am proud of the enemies that we have.
There's a reason I'm bringing this up.
Yeah, don't leave this because the Southern Baptists are meeting now in all places in Alabama.
That's why, okay, I was just going to say.
And talk about shades of gray.
Right.
So that's the reason.
It's not just that we haven't blasted the apostasy of the Southern Baptist Church yet tonight.
We do try to make it a weekly thing, of course.
But no, they met this week in Birmingham, Alabama, no less.
Now, that's interesting.
And here's the whole thing.
So I kept tabs on this.
And, of course, it's been another year of plummeting membership roles, plummeting baptisms.
I mean, they're dying.
It's fast.
But on the other side, headlines are proliferating.
They're always getting in trouble.
Even the more they pander to the left, the more the left finds fault with them.
Here was what their big focus was on at the, and again, Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the world.
So it's interesting.
We bring it up quite regularly because, number one, I have the association there.
And number two, so I'm well familiar and equipped to talk about it.
Number two, it is the largest Protestant denomination in the world.
And for a long, long time, the most stridently conservative denomination.
So what's going on there is really a bellwether to what's going on in churches at Law.
It's the last Citadel to fall.
It's like Constantinople falling to the Muslims.
Well, here's what they focused on this week, Keith.
Their two big things were the alleged sex abuse scandal that was going on in the Southern Baptist Church that was uncovered by the Houston Chronicle and putting women into positions of leadership.
That was their two big issues they were tackling this week.
Now, let me first address this whole alleged sex abuse crisis.
It's fake news.
It's fake news.
The Houston Chronicle found, I believe, 35 individuals a few months ago who have claimed to have been sexually abused in Southern Baptist churches.
And the headlines were reading earlier this week, with the world watching, Southern Baptists will consider reforms aimed at the denomination sex abuse crisis.
But will they be able to reconcile past failures?
This is fake news.
And what it is, it's a male Me Too movement.
Well, the Southern Baptist Convention, in its wisdom, picked a conference topic that impacts.
I did the math on this.
They claim to have 15,740,000 members.
Now, that is obviously grossly inflated, but let's just use that number because that's what they offer.
15,740,000 members.
Of those 15,740,000 members, 35 have alleged to have been sexually abused.
That means they are focusing their conference on a topic that impacted 0.0002% of their membership.
And they're going to allow their whole convention to be hijacked by the left as they weep whale and gnash their teeth and rend their garments over 35 instances out of how many, you know, like you said, 002% or something.
It's like the Me Too movement, too, in this regard.
I said that.
Basically, you've got to believe these people that say that 40 years ago I was homosexually attacked by some Baptist preacher or something.
And you have to believe them.
And we don't even know how many of these.
You know, Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence says that you're innocent until proven guilty.
But of course, the left, again, turning everything on its head, turning it around.
Now you're guilty until proven innocent.
All of this is, is an attack on men and an attack to usurp the authority of men.
Women should not have authority over men in the church, in the home, in government, unless you are of the protection.
Basically, you're going to have to have priestesses in charge of the people.
Well, we talked that story last week about Sam Dixon, so that's where the Presbyterians are already.
But this is all an attack on the patriarchy, is what it is.
The sex abuse thing, I have no love loss for where the Southern Baptist Convention is heading at the leadership level, but to say that they have a sex crisis is BS.
And here's another thing, though.
So that's one of the topics that featured heavily and prominently at their annual convention this year.
But the other one is putting women in positions of leadership.
Now, some of the biggest cucks in the Southern Baptist Convention are still drawing a line there.
They're saying, no, women should not be pastors.
They should not have authority over men.
Even some of the biggest cucks.
But not the biggest cuck.
The biggest cuck.
Russell Moore wrote this this week: that there would be no Southern Baptist Convention without women.
We desperately need a resurgence of women's voices and women's leadership and women's empowerment.
It's way past time.
Well, they already have it.
Russell, it's you.
I mean, Russell, you are the most feminized man I think I've ever seen as a spokesman for the Southern Baptists.
You know, and that's another thing that the left wants to do.
They want to cut down reproduction by feminizing men and masculinizing women.
Guess what?
Men don't find masculinized women as attractive as feminine women.
Likewise, women don't find feminized men as attractive as masculine men.
And the left knows it.
So what do they do?
They promote some little, you know, dweeb like Russell Moore to be in a leadership position, thundering down his proclamations from on high as if he were God himself.
And that's not a turnoff to people.
I don't know what it is.
Well, that's why you regularly see Russell Moore on all the major networks as the Southern Baptist Convention spokesman.
If he was not a closeted guy, I've never seen it.
Well, if he was a stout Christian, he would not be welcome onto these shows to offer his opinion.
Now, yes, we do get media attention as well, and some we take and some we don't.
So you can say, well, they give you media opportunities as well, James.
But, you know, make no mistake, it's a totally different dynamic, a totally different dynamic.
Everything that Russell does comes with a presumption of validation and correctness.
And everything that James says comes along with the exact opposite of that.
Well, that's what's going on.
So the two big focal points, women in leadership, where should they draw the line?
But, you know, they're saying that, you know, some are saying they should draw the line at women being pastors, but all of them are saying women should have more authority in the church.
It's a question of whether or not they should be authorized.
It's like the frog being thrown into the pot of boiling water.
He'll jump out.
But if you put him in a pot of room temperature water and slowly increase the heat, he'll allow himself to be boiled to death.
That's what they're going to do.
And lo and behold, you know, if you want to see where the Southern Baptist denomination is going, look at the Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church today.
I mean, it's in some churches, you have a male head priest, and then all the assistants are females.
It looks like a wizard with a coven of witches.
Or now they're coming all the way out and the males have been banished from the clergy almost altogether.
See, the Episcopal Church, which is a white denomination, now has a black woman bishop here in Tennessee, for example.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld would say.
But, you know, why do you have to promote people other than the natural candidates?
White males, you can forget about it.
You may have a position of authority, but it isn't because it was given to you.
All right.
And they're trying to take it.
We're going to be back with Kevin McConnell.
There's more to come right here on the Liberty News Radio Network.
