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.
We talk from time to time about the guests that we regularly feature on this show, and you know them by name because they make so many appearances.
The Jared Taylors, the Kevin McDonald's.
We have a pretty good and solid set guest rotation, Paul Fromm, another one of them.
He's been on the last two weeks.
We're always open to new faces and new ideas.
Oh, that's absolutely right.
Especially when they can rival any of our existing guests.
But Paul Fromm sent in a little email after last week's show saying, I deeply admire your staying power and consistency.
I've seen too many one-day wonders.
You're a lifer.
Well, thank you, Paul.
And with that being said, yes, as you mentioned, Keith, we enjoy and relish the opportunity to bring new faces and new voices to this audience as well.
And we've got a very impressive young man as our featured guest this evening for the entire second hour.
Marshall Rawson is a small business farmer, a conservative activist.
He is now working on his JD at one of the premier law schools here in the South.
Marshall, it is great to have you on the show.
It's a privilege.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Well, you're most welcome.
And I have met Marshall before, his lovely wife.
They just started a family.
He really represents the cream of the cross, cream of the crop that Southern man has to offer.
And I think you're going to enjoy learning more about him.
Not only is he working on his JD, he has already had a pretty interesting tilt in the American legal system.
And that is what brings him to our show tonight.
He's going to tell us all about his experiences.
Keith Alexander, an attorney by trade, a lifelong attorney.
Not a lifelong.
Well, I mean, what you have been for your entire adult career, correct?
My adult career.
You weren't born as an attorney, but exactly.
Anyway, Keith has read through Marshall's complaint and some of the things that have happened.
And so Keith's going to be spearheading a lot of this interview.
But let's without further ado, get started.
Marshall, tell us your story.
Let's start with the lead up to the incident in question.
Absolutely, absolutely.
So back in 2013, this all began.
I was the president of Young Americans for Liberty at my former college, undergraduate college, Shoulder University, actually.
And in the spring of 2013, we kind of came together as a group and came up.
We wanted to do something that would benefit, directly benefit our campus instead of trivial things like passing out constitutions and stuff like that.
And so we came up with the idea of Campus Carry to push for a Campus Carry initiative.
It was a well-thought-out idea.
Our vice president had 20 points to support Campus Carry.
We actually got Pastor John Weaver.
that you're you're meaning carrying firearms right so that there's no um that's correct um Essentially constitutional carry on campus because Georgia already has some pretty good carry laws.
Anyways, we had Pastor John Weaver, who you all know.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
He volunteered to give an additional safety course to those who were 21 years old and who had a CWP.
So this wasn't a willy-nilly sort of deal what we're doing.
And so on September 17th, which was Constitution Day, the fall of 2014, we had an empty holster demonstration.
A local gun store had sponsored us, these holsters.
We had three signs, one sign that said, our rights come from God.
You know, this is a Christian school, I'll add.
This is a, you know, quote-unquote Southern Baptist, Georgia Baptist school that we were at.
Oh, God.
God help us.
Yes, yes, absolutely.
A second sign that said the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.
And a third that said, support campus carry.
And so we had this demonstration.
It ended up being a pretty big deal.
At this time, we were the biggest non-fraternity sorority organization on campus.
And so this was during a chapel day.
They had chapel that day.
And coming out of chapel, some of the big Whigs on campus, including the vice president of student affairs, Corey Humphreys, came out and he saw what we were doing.
And he told us to shut it down.
And so we shut it down because we found out that we didn't have the proper permit.
You know, the irony of having to have permits on Constitution Day to freely assemble and freely, you know, freely assemble and to have freedom of speech on a school is the irony of this.
But anyways, he didn't like, we ended up finding out that he didn't like what we were doing.
And so he put us on probation.
He put us on probation shortly after when he found out that we were having a big event coming up.
We were having two big pro-gun organizations coming on campus.
And he put us on probation.
Campus Reform, which I don't know if you have heard of campus reform, but they kind of investigate freedom of speech violations on campus.
They investigate shorter declines to respond.
So we take the event off campus.
The vice president of student affairs did not appreciate that.
And so, anyways, he put us on probation and required us to do 20 hours community service.
When we took it off campus, we took it, we removed the shorter name, so it was totally legal.
But anyhow, so campus reform is now looking, was now looking into this situation.
And so they told us that they needed a verbal or written quote of the vice president of student affairs, pretty much stating his bias against our organization.
And so since they declined to respond to campus reform previously, he told me to, well, excuse me, the vice president of student affairs, he wanted to have a meeting with me.
And I'm trying to give it the short end of the story.
It's a very long story, but I'm trying not to ramble on too much.
I'll get to the good stuff in the next segment.
Anyways, so campus reform, excuse me, campus reform is looking into, yeah, they need a written statement from the university.
So the vice president of student affairs wanted to have a meeting with me.
And so the campus reform representative suggested that I carry a recorder into the meeting because it was really sketchy initially because this vice president of student affairs did not want to have me have any of my officers in the meeting.
And, you know, at the time, I was a League of the South member.
And, you know, you might know the League, of course, on this show.
The League has gone through many different stages.
And they were in an activist stage at this time.
We were doing support.
We were doing support Christian marriage rallies and rallies opposed to immigration, excessive immigration.
And I was a part of that.
Me and Megan were actually a bar of babies, but now my wife.
Anyways, we found that this was kind of strange that he wanted to have a meeting just with me.
So I brought this recorder into the meeting.
Marshall, hold on right there.
Marshall, hold on right there.
I know it's sometimes hard to hear on the phone, but the music has started.
We're coming up to our first break of the hour.
Very interested in his story.
I, of course, had my own life experience in the judicial system, the just-us system, as Sam Dixon.
He also budded heads with the Southern Badger stall.
That denomination as well.
It's just completely in our wheelhouse.
Marshall will continue his story.
Next.
Hey, listen up.
This is a deep state alert.
Former Texas Congressman Steve Stockman, who moved to arrest Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress, has been imprisoned by the very office that Lerner led.
You heard right.
Stockman hit the Obama administration hard and they hit back with the full force of the federal government.
The guy who said he wanted Mark Levin as Speaker of the House was the first to threaten Obama's impeachment, exposed Hillary's selling steel to the Iranians, and blocked both Obama's immigration and gun bills from even reaching the House.
But Obama holdovers came after him in federal court with trumped-up charges and have locked our guy up.
Like many others, he was on Obama's hit list.
Steve fought for us in Congress.
Now we need to fight for him.
Don't abandon this wounded hero on the battlefield.
Let's help cover his massive legal costs.
To chip in five bucks or more, text the word fight to 444-999.
That's fight, F-I-G-H-T to 444-999.
Or go to defendapatriot.com.
That's defendapatriot.com.
You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?
In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.
More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems.
American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.
As economist Tyler Cowan recently wrote, quote, by having more children, you're 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.

And now back to tonight's show.
So we've got Marshall Rawson as our guest on the show tonight, and he is telling the tale of his experience with defamation, his entry into a lawsuit, and we're going to get into that.
He set the table that first segment.
A deposition, mediation, settlement.
Yes, settlement.
We're going to get to all of that.
He's about to kick it into high gear.
Keith?
Yeah, it's basically they were using an unlawful search and seizure to chill his Second Amendment rights.
So the Fourth Amendment and the Second Amendment are involved in his problem with both university and the Southern Baptists, I think, as well.
So that's, you know, an interesting interplay.
Okay.
All right.
So Marshall, you were talking to us about the lead up to the incident.
As, of course, you did have to set the table to bring people up to speed.
Let's get into the incident itself, the defamation you were subjected to, and then on into the courts.
And what they did to you and how you've responded.
Absolutely, absolutely.
And so the previous summer, I'll just backtrack slightly.
The previous summer, I had intern for Congressman Paul Brown, Congressman in Georgia.
And I was also going to other events, meeting people like Ron Paul and Tom Woods.
And so I didn't know at this point, but I had been docked.
I've been cyber-stocked that summer.
And they sent this Blunker blogger sent an article he had written about me to the Vice President of Student Affairs, who happened to be an African-American Negro man.
And he said, did you know that the president of this organization on your campus is a white nationalist?
You know, those aren't words I use.
I mean, I consider myself a Southern nationalist.
And, you know, I'm not embarrassed, you know, to be a white man, but I mean, those weren't words I used.
You know, I never identified as something as such.
Anyways, of course.
Yeah, and so leading into this meeting, so I was in this meeting.
I had a bad feeling about going into this meeting, but he wanted to check up on how my probation was going.
And I noticed going to the meeting that he had two campus security officers waiting outside.
Thought it was a little weird, but I went into it anyways.
And while I was in the meeting, he asked me some very, he started off small talk, but then he started asking me some very unprofessional questions, I thought, like, what candidates are you or your members supporting?
What organizations are you or your members involved with?
And, you know, I kind of thought he was hinting around to my association league.
You know, I was also a John Bird Society member at the time and other, you know, conservative groups.
But anyways, I basically told him it was none of his business.
And I had all this in a recording.
And so then he goes to the question, do you have a gun on your person?
You know, do you have a gun on you?
And I said, no.
He said, do you have a gun in your vehicle?
I said, no, I don't think so.
And that's where I, when I said, I don't think so.
I said, I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
And I was, you know, I'm an honest person.
You know, I care, it was Georgia.
You know, they have an open carry policy in Georgia.
I carry on the weekends.
I carry on off campus.
And it'll happen to me on Monday.
Anyways, but he kept repeating the question, and I kept answering the same way.
And I told him I couldn't stay there all day.
I had to leave.
And so I walk out.
He follows me with his campus security officers, you know, telling me, don't make me embarrass you.
And he calls the police at this point.
The police show up.
Before they show up, I've already gotten some legal advice on the phone from campus reform.
They say, whatever you do, do not let them in your vehicle and record everything.
So the police got there.
They said, we can't search this man's vehicle.
This is a private campus.
They leave.
The two campus security officers, one was acting a little sketchy.
One of them was a white man who I had been friendly with on campus.
The other one was this black man who I didn't know very well, but I knew he was close to the vice president of student affairs.
And he kept acting really weird.
You know, asked me, you know, just show me the gun, quote unquote, show me the gun.
And you might be suspended for a week.
Meanwhile, the white man, I'm using white and black because I don't know their name.
The white gentleman, the police officer, or the campus office campus security officer, he was sitting off on the side acting like he didn't want to be there.
So I was taking the hint that there was something weird going on.
So I don't let them in my vehicle.
Who knows?
They didn't find anything.
They could have put plenty of drugs in there.
That stuff does happen.
And I have heard about that.
So, anyways, so eventually I opened the vehicle, said, you can look in here, but I'm not letting the cab you search my vehicle.
And I do that.
I close the door.
He tries breaching it again.
And of course, it didn't work because I had the door locked.
He tells me that I'm free to go.
And I'm basically suspended.
And so they suspended me.
But then it starts getting interesting.
Suspended you as what, Marshall?
Marshall, just suspended you as a student at the college or what?
Okay.
Yes, suspended me from the college for 11 months.
I mean, I wasn't going back there after this.
But my vice president's driving in to the gatehouse the next day, and there's police all over the front gate, apparently staking out the gate for the next 72 hours.
The university hired these people.
And my vice president asked the gate guard, hey, what's with all the police here?
And he says, well, I don't know.
There was this gentleman student recruiting for white supremacy on campus.
And they kicked him out for that or something like that.
That was paraphrasing at the moment.
But it was something to that extent.
And he's like, do you know a Marshall Clayton Rawson?
And the gate guard happened to be a black male too.
And he asked my buddy, and he's like, no, no, I know Marshall.
He's not a quote unquote, he's not a white supremacist.
Anyways, and the gentleman at the gate said, well, I'm just doing what I'm told.
And so they basically said, we found out later, that I told them, apparently, that I was going to, quote unquote, come back with my people.
You know, they wanted to make me out to be just one of these characters, you know, these campus shooters.
You know, I was a decathlete on the track team.
I was a part of a fraternity on campus.
I was a president of this organization.
You know, I had a beautiful girlfriend who's now my wife.
And I had some great friends, you know, and so I wasn't this obscure, you know, caricature that they were trying to paint me.
Anyways, we had a lot of support.
My organization had a lot of support for what we were doing in the state of Georgia.
And so this attorney actually volunteered, gave me a call one day.
I was looking into possibilities, but this volume, or excuse me, this attorney called in, or called me, and volunteered to litigate my behalf, Alex Johnson.
And it's his name.
And so, anyways, we go into, we go into a lawsuit essentially.
And in deposition, it was interesting.
In deposition, we found out that the vice president of student affairs carried on campus.
He carried a firearm on campus.
So apparently, you know, his rights, his liberties, and his security were important, but nobody else's.
And so that's, you know, the crazy part about it.
And this was, we wanted everybody to be able to carry on campus.
Anybody who was 21 and had a CWP.
It wasn't just white heterosexual males like myself.
You know, so regardless of how they're trying to paint me.
So anyways, during the deposition, we found out it discovered that.
And then three years to the date, three years to the date that this lawsuit, or excuse me, that I was kicked off campus, news came out in all the big presses, Atlanta Constitutional Journal, and so on and so forth, that this Vice President of Student Affairs had just sexually assaulted a female faculty member on campus.
You know, so the irony of that, and that if faculty and students had been able to carry on campus, that it might have prevented, you know, this sexual assault by this predator who did this.
They made me out to be the bad guy.
Hold on right there, Marshall.
Now, we have another break coming up.
We have a caller, Sam, who is calling in to show support for you.
And if you're wondering, ladies and gentlemen, this lawsuit that we're talking about was filed by Marshall himself.
He was the plaintiff.
Shorter University, Corey Humphreys from Georgia, were the defendants, among the defendants.
And we'll get to that when we come back and take a call first.
Stay tuned.
Protecting your liberties.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA Radio News with Wendy King.
Democrats are moving quickly with the impeachment investigation of President Trump, ordering Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to turn over Ukraine-related documents and scheduling testimony for witnesses to alleged abuse of power.
The president was notably silent in front of cameras as the escalating inquiry gained momentum.
His campaign, though, has rolled out a multi-million dollar ad targeting Democratic lawmakers and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Joe Biden promised Ukraine a billion dollars if they fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company.
Biden's son Hunter joined the board of Ukrainian Natural Gas Company in 2014, but has since left.
A former deputy prosecutor in Ukraine told CBS there's no evidence of wrongdoing.
Never ever.
Did you ever see any evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden?
Never ever.
This is 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 Calatrend 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 Aramson.
I take Talatron 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.

Strong winds and heavy snow have led to power outages and road closures as a wintry storm threatens to drop several feet of snow in some areas of the northern Rocky Mountains.
KRTV forecaster Jason Lair.
Some of the snow totals we're looking at, 12 to 18, very likely for Cut Bank.
I did bump Great Falls a little bit, 8 to 12.
A lot of that's going to depend on grassy areas versus roadways.
Grassy areas are going to see a lot more in the accumulation terms.
Helena, about 5 to 8, I think, is a solid estimate.
Another day of protests in Hong Kong.
BBC reporter Stephen McDonald.
We have water cannon down the end of the road spraying water with blue dye in it.
There are people here smashing up government buildings.
The authorities in the lead up to the 70th anniversary of the Communist Party coming to power in China aren't prepared to tolerate the levels of disturbance that they were prepared to put up with weeks ago.
You're listening to USA Radio News.
Oh, yeah-ho, wanna be by my side.
Oh, yeah-ho, now it's finally time.
It's time to jump back into the political cesspool to be part of the show and have your voice heard around the world.
Call us at 1-866-98-66397.
Okay, so our guest this hour, our only guest of the night, in fact, is Marshall Ross, and he's telling his story.
And I just made mention before the break, we're going to get to a caller very quickly and then back to Marshall.
This actually escalated into a lawsuit, a complaint that was filed by Marshall as the plaintiff against Shorter University, Corey Humphreys, and John Does 1 through 5, as the complaint reads.
This took place, of course, at Shorter University in Rome, Georgia.
Keith and I were talking.
You've heard the phrase, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Well, of course, that originated in Rome, Georgia.
Actually, the Roman Empire.
Oh, okay, okay.
Anyway, Keith, before we go to our caller and then back to Marshall, as an attorney, what about Marshall's case interests you?
Well, they're trying to chill the exercise of his First Amendment rights and punish him for exercising those rights in a method that has obviously been endorsed and provided for the public by the Georgia legislature, a concealed weapons permit.
You're supposed to be able to have your vehicle, I mean your weapon in your vehicle if you have a CWP, as he calls it, concealed weapons permit.
But apparently, all bets are off on that.
And in order to get evidence to persecute him with, to infringe upon his Second Amendment rights, they are violating his Fourth Amendment rights by insisting upon having an illegal search and seizure.
When he didn't give consent to it, then they've apparently tried to punish him by suspending him as a student.
Is that a fair assessment of where you are, Marshall?
Or what?
That's correct.
That's correct.
He tried to defame my character in order to justify their actions also.
Absolutely.
Okay.
And the key to all of this, what they say justifies them trampling on his Second Amendment rights and his Fourth Amendment rights is the fact that he is a white nationalist or suspected of being a white nationalist.
What they call anybody to the left.
Young Americans for Liberty sounds like the D. Malay version of the Tea Parties or something.
What is that group?
Well, hold on.
Before we get to that, Marshall, I want to get to Sam, who's been waiting about half the hours.
Sam, a very quick comment to you, sir.
Yes, so I originally was friends with Marshall in high school.
I've known him for a while.
He's a very solid man.
And when this happened, I took the bait.
You know, I had been indoctrinated with leftism, you know, being in college.
And I took the bait.
And I said, oh, man, Marshall must have acted up.
My sister actually told me.
And in looking into the case more, as it was happening, I was realizing that these things that they were espousing, this whole freedom of speech in terms of liberalism, in terms of the right to free expression, was not what they were proposing at all.
These people are wolves in sheep's clothing.
And that really pushed me forward.
And this is a major part of my red filling process.
And every action that you do, and Marshall took the slings and arrows of this type of slander and defamation of some really vicious people.
Everything that you do will have an effect on somebody.
We'll show them the light.
And that actually ended leading me out of the synagogue of Satan, as I call it, into accepting Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.
Eventually, watching that.
Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
Just watching that, and that was sort of, it was a premonition of what was to come with these whole red flag laws and these whole abrogations of your freedom of expression.
I saw that in 2013, and that's what opened my eyes.
Well, what this is, it's almost Orwellian in the way it's unwinding itself, and it shows that you can't expect anything except mistreatment from the authorities as long as they are captive to this liberal mindset, which prevails on almost every college campus in America.
Even the allegedly Christian ones.
Yeah, and every Christian denomination.
You've got social justice warriors in charge, large and in charge in all of these institutions.
Sam, thank you for the call, and you're right.
It does inspire other men to stand strong when they see a man taking a stand and facing the slings and arrows, as you put it, and quite rightly so.
And that brings us back to Marshall.
So this did escalate Marshall to a lawsuit and with full deposition, discovery, mediation.
Where do you stand on that now?
Yeah, how did it play?
So going into mediation, mediation happened right after the whole Parkland shooting.
And if you remember back to that point, that was a point when even people who were somewhat pro-gun were waiving on that.
And basically what my attorney and the mediator said was in a jury trial, this was going to be a referendum on both race and guns.
The fact that I'm a white male and the defendant is a black male and the fact that I was defending gun rights and they were infringing upon them.
How did Rice get involved in this, Marshall?
Was this authority figure with the college that was trying to make you consent to a search and seizure?
Was that a black person?
Is that how Rice reared its ugly head in all of this?
It was.
The Vice President Affairs was a black man.
And as you remember, maybe I was doxxed.
I was doxed by a cyber stalker who characterized me as a white nationalist, of course, to get the emotion to high for the vice president of student affairs.
And then that led to this defamation that I was, quote unquote, recruiting for white supremacy on campus.
You know, the irony to this.
Now, do you have any details on this stalker, on this person that doxed you or personally?
The stalker is now debunked.
This blogger name was Spelunker.
It went by Spelunker.
And since that time, somebody else picked up what he was cyber-stalking on me.
It was actually him.
Was he a free agent or was he with the Southern Poverty Law Center or something?
Not even a Southern Poverty Law Center that I'm aware of.
Now, the Poverty Law Center did harass me after my internship with Congressman Paul Brown, who was already a conservative congressman who had made some rebel rousing statements at certain points.
But I declined to respond to them.
But the irony to the recruiting for white supremacy narrative was, and I don't generally use this, but it's the fact.
The secretary of my organization was a black woman, and she wrote a big letter on my behalf.
In fact, it was that letter to you, Keith and James.
So if I was recruiting for white supremacy, I was doing a very poor job of that.
Well, you know, don't confuse him with the facts.
Yeah, don't let the facts trip up a good facts get in the way of a good fable.
Proceeds to a lawsuit.
Tell us about the deposition, the mediation.
I want to speed things along a little bit because I certainly don't want to run out of time with you.
And we're fast approaching the end of the hour, the final segment.
You go into deposition.
This thing proceeds in a big way.
Yes, I mentioned deposition a minute ago.
But during deposition, one of the things that we found was that the vice president of student affairs carried a gun on campus.
Like I said, so obviously his life was valuable, but yet nobody else's on campus was, you know, they can't carry a gun.
And nothing in the Bible.
This was the black man you were talking about earlier, right?
The guy that was.
That's correct.
Your primary antagonist in this.
That's right.
The same one.
The same one.
He's packing heat just like you.
Yes, the same one who sexually assaulted the female faculty member three years to the date of my suspension, too.
So it was, there was a lot to it.
And unfortunately, leading up to that possible trial, we were in mediation.
And this was right after the Parkland shooting.
And so, like I said, even people that are anomaly pro-gun were shaky on that.
My attorney said this would be a referendum on race and firearms.
And because of the certain situation with the firearms and knowing that white people aren't very group preferential, whereas it's not the other way around, a jury trial was maybe not going to look good if the other side filed for offer of judgment, which they were planning on doing.
What was it going to be the preferred method of bringing your rights before the court?
So you didn't get a jury trial.
Did you agree to a bench trial or what happened?
No, because they were going to file for offer of judgment.
I felt we were going to win the, I felt like we were going to win it, but I wasn't confident that we were going to win it with more than they were offering us because we were in a conservative district.
And by the way, let me explain to the audience what an offer of judgment is.
It's part of the rules of civil procedure that just about every state court and federal courts operate under.
An offer of judgment is where the party that is being sued says in a damage suit, we offer this certain amount of money to you.
And if you don't accept it and we go to trial and you get less, then you've got to pay all of our expenses, including attorney fees.
Very interesting.
Thank you, Keith, for that insight, that extra little bit of knowledge that a counselor would have.
Let's hang out.

I'd advise 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 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, then 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?

All right, one final segment with Marshall Rawson, a young man who took his stand and didn't back down and provided a good example for the rest of us to follow.
Well, where do we stand on this now, Marshall?
Have you gone to trial?
Have you got a trial setting?
What's going on?
So we kind of anticlimatic.
We did not end up going to trial because we looked like it was going to be a three to four day jury trial.
We're going to subpoena a bunch of people.
You know, I thought about it for hours in there, and I didn't want to end up like, you know, face Goldie up there in Canada and be stuck with $40,000 possibly of fees and expenses.
And taking the odds, you know, I took the settlement, and that was kind of...
Let me make a comment at this point for people.
People hear about the so-called English rule where the loser pays.
And what Marshall's experience is showing you is just what a damper that puts on people seeking full judicial redress of their infringements on their legal rights.
This is what the left has wanted for time immemorial.
Before you just had to pay court costs, and unless the lawsuit was found to be frivolous and totally without merit, you weren't going to have to pay the other expenses.
Sanctions, as they call it.
Right, exactly.
Now, I'll tell you, people say, of course, when you settle out of court, it's not an admission of guilt.
I think a settlement is a victory.
I think it's certainly a victory.
I would have certainly liked to have had a settlement in my case.
So good on Marshall for pushing it to the wall.
Well, the thing that James's situation showed and yours too is that when you get, when you jump on board that Bucking Bronco called a lawsuit, you basically got to consider the costs and everything that's going to happen down the road.
And you are liable to run into some bumps in the road.
You're liable to run into, as James did, a set of judges that aren't going to follow the law.
They're going to follow their liberal instincts.
And a lot of those people are sitting on the bench in America in today's world as well.
And probably every judge that you encounter in a place like Canada nowadays is going to be cut from that cloth.
So, you know, go ahead.
I'm able to freely talk on the radio here.
We did not enter any confidentiality agreement.
We've refused that.
They tried to sneak it in at the last second, but we caught them and refused to sign anything.
So they took it back and gave us the real deal.
Well, see, what this shows, and see, James's situation was even more egregious than yours.
He was accused of being a leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
He's never been a member of the Klan, much less a leader.
And he's not a public figure.
So consequently, he should have had a slam-dunk judgment.
Instead, he ran into a Jewish three-judge panel who said that, well, he thinks like a Klansman, so therefore he can be considered a leader of the Klan, even though he has nothing to do with the Klan.
So there was no defamation.
Well, I mean, well, of course, what they said was I said some things that people in the Klan may agree with, is I think what they put it.
And then they did the whole Aesop's fables, Judge of Man by the company you keep.
And they used Sam Dixon as the illustration of that of all people.
Now, they did say I was a public figure, by the way.
But even in that case, of course, being on the radio and all the attention we've gotten over the years, but even in that case, it was the quintessential textbook.
Well, see, that's a Sullivan case from back in the early 60s that was used against segregationists.
And it basically said that if you are a public figure, anybody can say virtually anything they want to about it, and it's not actionable by the person that is being doxxed or being defamed.
All right.
But anyway, Marshall, that was an aside.
That was a parenthetical departure.
Let's get back to you.
So after the lawsuit was over, you know, and I kind of had the feeling that, you know, this is supposed to be a conservative Christian school, right?
And I kind of had the feeling that they let this vice president of student affairs, just this rogue vice president of student affairs, do what he wanted to do.
You know, he had a record of being a bully on campus and at previous jobs, too.
And so I think, now this is just here, this is my opinion, of course, but I think they were intimidated to go against him because I had been branded a quote-unquote white nationalist, you know, him a black male.
And I think they were intimidated to go against him for, you know, possibility of, you know, racial discrimination.
And the irony to that is that the campus security officer who initially tried to search my vehicle, also, you know, a black man, he later sued the university for racial discrimination when he defended the woman who was sexually assaulted by this vice president of student affairs, Corey Humphreys.
So the irony of it, you know, he smelled the blood in the water.
You know, it did them no good to throw me under the bus for political correctness because it came back to bite them.
You know, as you know, you know, you throw a bloody bone in the water, you know, and the sharks just.
They're like a bulldog with a bloody bone.
And what happens is that they hire somebody and are intimidated into keeping him on.
And what happens?
He sexually assaults.
I don't know if it was a student or a fellow staff member or whatnot, but they bring a sexual predator into your midst and subject the student body and the staff to sexual predation because of their cowardice regarding people that, you know, are supposedly an untouchable class now, according to the rubric of political correctness.
Well, Marshall, we've got about four minutes remaining this hour.
So four minutes remaining with you.
And I want to ask you, as we bring this to full circle into summation, what is the moral of this story that you would like the audience to take away from your appearance tonight?
And how has life played out for you since that settlement?
Yes.
Well, I guess the moral story is, you know, dig your heels in and be the gentleman and the lady that God designed you to be and don't quote unquote cuck, you know, as a certain modern term that you use.
And instead, you know, Defend, you know, the truth and don't preach the choir, but at the same time, always remember your base and your roots.
You know, I think you need to, excuse me, Marshall, I think you need to publicly demand an apology and a confession from the people running that university that they were wrong.
I did.
It was to no avail.
It was to no avail.
But today...
It wasn't even reported by the local news.
The, um...
It was not.
There were some people who supported what we were doing.
They wrote some articles.
And most of those articles are gone now.
But there's a few left, but not really.
There's not much out there.
But, you know, I was redeemed.
I graduated from a better undergraduate school.
And now, by the grace of God, I'm pursuing my law degree.
And, you know, Lord willing, I can help those who speak the truth, kind of like Alex, fight for the truth and fight for our God-given, constitutionally protected liberties, kind of like my attorney did for me.
And yeah, I mean, it never pays to surrender your base in terms of the dark side.
Well, a lot of people nowadays say don't sandpaper a wildcat's ass.
But on the other hand, you did it and lived to tell the tale and came out victorious.
Well, at some point, our people are going to have to take a stand in their lives in whatever situations present themselves in their lives.
And they're going to have to stand like men.
You know, we have so many of the dispossessed majority that are too scared to take their own side.
They are scared to death of being called the R-word.
They'll do anything to avoid it.
They will not take their own side.
And we've got a man here tonight, Marshall, who did the exact opposite and was better off for it.
Absolutely, absolutely.
I really do feel like God rewarded me for keeping faithful.
And he certainly has.
I'm extremely blessed.
I have some of the best friends in the world.
I have a wonderful wife.
I mean, I'm on top of the world.
And no doxing leftist is going to tear me down.
And I'm certain of that.
And so take that as well.
Yeah, Marshall, let me just say this.
I was doxed when I ran for public office.
And despite the doxing, I got 40% of the vote and won the Republican primary.
And one thing that doing this, throwing your hat in the ring one way or another on these issues of political correctness is that you will find out in short order who your real friends are and who they aren't.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
That's the truth.
And you make some great friends along the way, too.
A friend in need is a friend indeed, as I used to hear when I was a child.
Well, you've certainly, I think, imparted upon our audience a feel-good story.
And we need a good story.
We need a win from time to time.
I mean, isn't that nice?
And how you came through it.
You trusted in the Lord and you moved forward with the belief that you were doing right by God and that God would protect and comfort and shelter you.
And then that is how it played out in your case.
And it doesn't always play out that way, but it did in your case.
And people need to know that you can fight and win.
It is not impossible to do so.
You came out on skaze and this so-called paragon of virtue who is persecuting you has shown to be the reprobate that he was.
Marshall, thanks so much for coming on and spending an hour of your Saturday night with us and sharing your story with our audience.
We look forward to talking to you again very soon.
Thank you.
Marshall Ross and everybody.
We'll be right back with the third and final of the political cesspool is in the can.
