You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
Oh, life could be a dream if I could take you up in paradise up above.
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love.
Life could be a dream, sweetheart.
Hello, hello again.
Life could be a dream if only all my precious plans would come true.
If you would let me spend my whole life loving you, life could be a dream, sweetheart.
Now, every time I look at you, something is on my mind.
Do what I want you to, baby.
We'd be so fun.
Oh, boy, there it is.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again, folks.
There is not a problem in the world that can't be made better by doo-wop music.
We love doo-wop, don't we, Keith Alexander?
Right.
It's just part of our general orientation towards retro culture.
Listen to this.
Mid-50s.
There it is.
The crew cuts.
Right.
What were you doing when the crew cuts came out with this?
I probably had a crew cup myself.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's show, January the 18th, our third of 2020, our third broadcast.
I'm James Edwards.
He's Keith Alexander.
Tonight, we're going to be providing in-depth opinion and commentary on the potential powder keg developing in Virginia with regards to Second Amendment rights.
Sam Bushman has been covering this issue all week on his show, Liberty Roundtable, and he is going to help us in this deep dive.
We did a really deep dive last week on Iran.
It'll be a semi-deep dive on this.
It'll dominate our second hour.
Third hour, we're going to have a lot of fun, little grab bag hour.
But first, Keith and I have a lot of things to cover before we even get to any of that.
And the first things is to remind you that we are off to the races in 2020 in a big way.
Not only have we given you two incredible shows to start our broadcasting year, we just completed an interview with a Canadian magazine on the topic of the South.
We were identified, and I think rightly so, if I say so myself, as being leading spokespeople for the South, and I had the opportunity to do an interview with this Canadian magazine, it's going to be translated into French.
You know, the French have always treated us well, Keith.
We did the French TV show last year, going back many, many years ago.
The French newspaper flew to Memphis to interview us.
And then now this Canadian magazine, although it'll be translated into French.
Well, anyway, we were talking about forest and what it means to be a southerner, what southern culture is all about.
We have always carefully chosen what interviews we participate in.
We have turned down hundreds and hundreds of interviews with some of the biggest media in the world.
We safeguard our image.
We safeguard our brand because we believe we owe that to our audience to be judicious and discreet with regards to participating in media.
If it can further benefit our cause and our ideas, we do it.
If we think that it's just going to be something that's going to be a waste of time or worse, we skip.
And I've always gone with my gut feeling on that.
And usually we come out right.
I have been blessed by God with a gut that knows.
And there have been a lot of fads and a lot of people in our cause that have come and gone over the course of the 15 years that we have been here.
But we still persist and we still are here and strong.
And I think a lot of that is due to good sense and reason, and we try to exercise that.
And anyway, we're excited about this interview, and we'll let you know when it comes out.
Well, we don't let ourselves be lured into traps.
And I think that is the fatal flaw of a lot of people that have come and gone in our end of the political spectrum while we have continued on.
We're not going to be reckless, put ourselves in a position that we can't control.
At least not knowingly and certainly not twice.
We had a few bad experiences at first, but this, I think, works well.
And talking about the French, the French, particularly French Canadians, are separatists, kind of like southern white people.
So consequently, there is a commonality there.
Also, the French were part of the founding stock of this nation and the South.
We had French-derived Confederate generals like PGT Beauregard, for example.
So there is a, and of course, New Orleans is famous for its French culture and cuisine.
So that being said, you know, there is a special bond between us and French people.
And I think the French people recognize it, and so do we as Southerners.
Cousins all, cousins all.
Keith, before we get down into a couple of interesting, yeah, I do eat French fries, that's right.
Before we get into a couple of things.
All the French cuisine that you get.
Topics this hour.
Virginia in the second hour.
I'm really excited about tonight.
I was talking to Keith about it a minute ago.
I said, we're going to have a monster show tonight.
And, yeah, French kisses, too.
Don't forget that, Keith.
That's our cuisine.
Anyway, busy show tonight.
Good show tonight.
We tried to have a show.
We got a piece of correspondence that said he loves the pacing of our show.
This listener says we really pace out the timing well.
Well, it just comes naturally.
If we do or we don't, we do it our way, that's for sure.
Let's read a little bit of correspondence, though, as we like to do in the opening banner segment before we get down into the hard knocks.
And this comes from a listener who is writing to us for the first time.
James and Keith, I started listening to y'all in January of 2019 and have enjoyed your wit and wisdom.
I'm sorry for not sending something earlier.
Here's a token of my appreciation for your hard work.
I will try to send something quarterly going forward.
I am really looking forward to Confederate History Month.
Last year's was great, your southern brother, Jay, down in Texas.
So this is Jay, who's sent in his first contribution after listening to the show for a year, saying he appreciates our work and that he's looking forward to April, which is our Confederate History Month series every year.
And you know what?
I'm looking forward to it as well, Keith.
It is something that we really pride ourselves in being able to do here on broadcast radio.
Also, I want to thank Jay for mentioning that because it gives me the opportunity to make mention of the fact that tomorrow is Robert E. Lee's birthday.
And I want to thank Robert E. Lee and wish him a happy birthday up where he surely sits in the kingdom of heaven tonight.
And just think of, compare Robert E. Lee with the person who most of America is going to be celebrating tomorrow, Martin Luther King.
One's in heaven and one.
It probably isn't.
But let me say this.
Robert E. Lee was a true paragon, unlike MLK.
He was not a serial adulterer.
He was not a plagiarizer.
He was not a communist operative.
And he was not a Christian heretic.
He was the opposite of all those things that Martin Luther King was.
And furthermore, one of the most important things to remember is that he was a true paragon.
He's the only person ever to pass through and graduate from West Point without earning a single demerit.
Now, if that doesn't indicate something to you about his character, then you're hopeless.
Compare that with the person that is going to be celebrated tomorrow.
They're going to have an NBA game here in Memphis about him.
They're going to have free admission to the National Civil Rights Museum.
That's the only time people ever go to it, but see, even then, it's just field trips.
But just think about this.
This is, you know, we have a true paragon.
who we historically have recognized at this time, and he's been replaced by the cultural Marxists that are in charge of our culture and our society.
And we could, and we talked about this.
We could have done a segment or two on the real MLK.
But folks, if we've done it.
If you hadn't heard it by now, you know, there's no need to go over it.
Believe me, we've got to rever our real heroes.
And Robert E. Lee, thank you for fighting for us.
Robert E. Lee, I think the greatest American and the most Christ-like figure that's ever trod this continent.
Certainly a paragon who is deserving of recognition.
We'll be right back.
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.

All right, everybody, let's pick up the pace a little bit.
And Keith, we can't brag on our audience enough.
I just read that best audience in the world.
It absolutely is.
And for so many reasons, we just read that note, as you see, written there, handwritten on that index card from listener Jay in Texas, who is a relatively new listener, who just sent in his first contribution.
And thank you so much for that, Jay.
This comes from somebody on the polar end of the scale.
Not better or worse, just the fact that they have been listening for years, well over a decade, very nearly since the very beginning of the show.
They donate every quarter.
And this is Pam and Dennis.
And she sent in also this week a contribution and apologized for not having sent it earlier because her mother had passed away.
Now, that is the level of endearment that...
And devotion and sense of duty that our audience has.
We have a true familial link.
And nothing showed that better than this annual convention that we had the last birthday convention.
Well, I just want to be sure.
The only reason I mentioned that, I don't want to go into anything personal, but I just want to let Pam know that we love her and her husband and we're here for them.
And she writes, James, I would have sent this before the deadline on December 31st, but we had to travel as my mom was sick and not expected to survive.
She has passed away and we're finally back home.
Well, Pam, I want to let you know that our heart is with you.
Our condolences go to you.
And if there's anything we can do to help you, you know how to get in touch with me.
So please do.
And we're going to, of course, send you a nice gift package and everything else.
And by all means, don't let that trouble you.
The fact that you didn't.
Let not your heart be troubled.
I want to let you know that we're family.
And please, you know, if you need our help in any way, let us know, please.
And people do that.
They do it.
They always share their concerns and their ups and their downs.
And we try to do that as well with them.
Anyway, let's get to some news.
Interesting news this week.
There is so much that I'm proud about with regard to our show.
I'm proud about our experience.
I mean, when people tune into TPC, you're hearing people who base their opinions on practice and not theory.
What I mean by that is so much that goes on out there we've been through, whether it be media coverage, whether it be state of emergencies like this latest state of emergency that's been declared in Virginia that we're going to be talking about in the second hour, whether it's lawsuits and just everything.
I mean, we have been through a lot, election campaigns, rallies, hosting events, just all of the great things that come from this job and all the hardships that come.
We've been through it, so we know what other activists are going through.
And anyway, Peter Brimelow of VDARE has filed a $5 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times, which printed in an article in 2019 that he was an open white nationalist, quote unquote.
Let me read one of the stories here.
Anti-immigration activists.
Now, I'm reading the enemies' verbiage here, but anti-immigration activist Peter Brimelow, who operates the website that the Southern Property Law Center has labeled a hate group.
You know, we're a hate group.
I'm a hate group.
You're a hate group.
Everybody's a hate group.
They named the Catholic Church yet?
Who is not a hate group?
And nobody that makes an utterance that is anything other than standard leftist drivel is a hate group.
That's right.
Well, anyway, how can a website be a hate group?
How can a radio show with a staff of what, you know, all in the less than 10, if you count the James Dobson's focus on the family and Tony Perkins's American Family Council are hate groups in the eyes of the SPLC.
If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the SPLC and their judgmental criteria for a hate group, then nothing else will.
But in any event, the newspaper implied race hatred and traits inconsistent with his profession.
The lawsuit states, plaintiff has been injured in his good name, fame, credit, profession, reputation as a man, this is Brimlow's argument, and in his various public and private positions.
The New York Times said in the statement, it stands by its work and will defend vigorously against the claim.
The lawsuit cites New York Times editorial standards such as commitment to fairness and impartiality, refraining from editorialization, and pledging to correct all factual errors that it says the news outlet failed to uphold when reporting about him.
The Times also didn't reach out to Brimelow, who did and does deny being a white nationalist, let alone an open white nationalist, before publishing the article that mentioned him.
The article wasn't about him.
It didn't mention him in passing.
Additionally, the Times didn't issue a correction after Brimlow demanded it to do so.
And so that gave birth to this lawsuit.
Now, Peter's a friend of ours.
Peter has appeared on this show many times.
I know Peter well.
He and I talk on the phone.
He was very much following the libel lawsuit that I levied against the Detroit News in 2016.
Everybody will remember that, of course, that stemmed around an article that was published claiming that I was the leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
And you'll remember also that my attorney had said that there are things like rhetorical hyperbole when people say you are a racist, for instance, that is not actionable, that is not libelous, especially if you're a public figure.
But they said what is the clear-cut textbook definition of libel, according to the restatement of torts, is to allege that someone is a member of the Ku Klux Klan when he is not.
There's no record evidence to suggest that he ever has been, which was, of course, the case with me.
But of course, they did even more than that, alleging that I was not only a member, but a leader.
And so we thought we had a good lawsuit.
And boy, I mean, we didn't even get the chance to compete.
We were routed out of the lower court and then also similarly routed out of the Court of Appeals, who agreed that that was the state book, the textbook definition of libel, but that Aesop's fables, you remember the whole story, of course, folks.
We do this for the benefit of those who are tuning in who perhaps haven't heard this story before.
Aesop said, Aesop said you have to judge a man by the company he keeps.
So what I'm saying is, that was their standard.
That was their they didn't have a legal precedent to rely on.
They didn't have legislative history to rely on.
So they relied on Aesop's fables, which I think is a new low even for the current federal judiciary of the United States.
And it's a testament to the caliber of the people that are getting appointed in this affirmative action age to the federal bench, particularly up north.
This was Detroit.
And, you know, it's the most incredible thing in the world.
What this has taught us, though, is that if you get involved in a lawsuit, Peter, you got to be committed to take it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and have the funding for it.
Because just think about this.
If Brown versus Board of Education had not been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, it would have been a precedent in favor of segregated public schools.
So that's why that just shows you we have to match the enemy blow for blow and tactic to tactic if we hope to win the culture war.
Well, that's true.
And that is actually another thing.
Of course, my entry into that lawsuit ended at the Michigan Court of Appeals for a couple of reasons.
Peter had asked me to pursue it all the way to the Supreme Court.
You know, but the thing about it is, after being rejected so resoundingly, when we had every bit, you know, that was a precedent-setting case.
I mean, we actually changed libel law in the state of Michigan, which I'm sure can be used in other places as well.
In fact, an attorney contacted me just a couple of, it was last month and said he heard a judge and some people around the water cooler at one of these courthouses talking about that case as recently as a few weeks ago, just because that was a precedent-setting case, the Edwards versus Detroit News.
Anyway, we lost that, even though alleging someone to be a member in the Klan is the textbook definition of libel.
I hope my friend Peter Brimelow succeeds and prevails where I fell short.
But I got to say, this is going to be a tough one to sue the New York Times, which is much more important to the enemy than the Detroit News, to sue them over something as innocuous as a white nationalist, which really is an ill-defined term.
I mean, that's not something like, to say you're the leader of the Klan, you know what that means.
To say you're a white nationalist, I mean, what does that mean?
It's going to be tough.
It's going to be tough.
You're a lawyer, Keith.
What do you think?
Well, I think this.
First of all, it is a more inflammatory thing to say you're a member of the Klan than a white nationalist.
I think most people don't know what that is.
But what you need to understand about the process, there's no slam dunk in today's federal court system or in the state court system.
You've got to be prepared to fight right to the last breath on these things.
We'll talk about this a little bit more when we come back.
Thank you.
Pursuing liberty, using the Constitution as our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA Radio News with Wendy King.
President Trump's legal team is sending the Senate a fiery response to its impeachment summons, outlining the defense it expects to use in the upcoming trial.
The filing states, this is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election.
The president's legal team is challenging the impeachment on both procedural and constitutional grounds, claiming that the president has been mistreated by House Democrats and that he did nothing wrong.
Democrats continue to push for witness testimony in documents.
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst on Fox and Friends.
We will have the opportunity to decide whether or not we want to see additional information and additional witnesses.
But you know what?
If they had a strong argument on that record that's being presented to us, we shouldn't need additional witnesses.
This is USA Radio News.
We're already into a new year.
And according to TransUnion's annual consumer credit forecast, the consumer credit market looks strong.
Matt Comos, TransUnion's Vice President of Research and Consulting.
The U.S. consumer is as strong as ever, and we expect more of the same this year.
More consumers are securing loans and increasing their balances in a measured way, all while maintaining historically low delinquency rates.
Low unemployment rates, continued wage growth, and an overall sound economy are making this positive performance hold true.
Are there trends to watch for this year?
TransUnion's trends to watch are credit card performance staying strong, personal loans stabilizing, auto lenders continuing at a steady pace, and first-time homebuyers leading mortgage activity.
The U.S. consumer credit market has grown every year since the Great Recession in 2009, marking one of the longest economic expansions in U.S. history.

An announcement from Buckingham Palace states Prince Harry and his wife Megan will quit working as members of Britain's royal family.
The statement says they will no longer receive royal funds and they will no longer use the title His Royal Highness.
He's still Prince Harry and will still be called the Duke of Sussex.
He remains sixth in line to the British throne.
The arrangement becomes effective this spring.
The Queen says she is particularly proud of how Megan has so quickly become one of the family.
The couple also must repay $3.1 million in taxpayer money spent renovating their home near Windsor Castle.

You're listening to USA Radio News.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dine at 1-866-986-6397.
So we've read correspondence from Texas and Virginia so far.
How about one a little closer to home?
This comes from Kelly in Nashville.
Greetings, Mr. Edwards.
Sorry.
Folks, let me tell you something.
You don't have to apologize for sitting in contributions.
We just care that you're welcome anytime.
Sorry, this is late getting to you.
We meant to send it off before the end of 2019, but hope this will start off the new year.
Well, for you, thanks for all your hard work and sharing so many great guests and passing along the truth to our people.
We pray people will begin to wake up.
Well, thank you so much, Kelly.
And this has just been another young family who has been supportive of our work for a long, long time.
Keith, you gave a great and glowing endorsement of the program as we left dinner earlier tonight.
Do you remember what you said?
No, tell me what I said.
Well, what you said was, I believe we've got the best show on radio.
I really do.
I think it is.
And I'm not just being, you know, patting ourselves on the back.
I listen to the replays, and I compare that with some of the other things that we have.
And I tell you, I think we really do better.
Now, Keith knows that we have a no-phone rule here in the studio, but who is it?
Just let us know.
I have no idea.
All right, anyway, let's get back to this thing with Brimlow very quickly.
So he's suing the New York Times for $5 million for referring to him as a white nationalist or an open white nationalist.
Going back to another story that was printed about this.
Donald talked about this, by the way, loosening the libel laws.
He talked about it.
We're doing it.
James Edwards, Peter Brimelow, some others, and still no help from the president.
But the Times never printed a correction or clarification in the online or print version of the paper and refused to publish his letters challenging the original description, according to the suit filed last Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The characterization of Brimolo that triggered the libel lawsuit appeared in January 15th, 2019 article by Times political reporter Trip Gabriel that offered a chronology of racist and inflammatory comments, so-called, by Representative Steve King of Iowa.
So the article was about King, and it mentioned Brimolo in passing.
So anyway, again, we had the slam dunk, can't lose case, except you have to understand, as we certainly learned, any naivete that may have still remained in 2016 has been long since gone.
These judges are political partisans, and they don't use the law to inform their decisions.
They use their political biases to inform their decisions, and they'll send a clerk or an intern to find some law that backs up their political positions, and that's how they rule.
And they're mentally challenged enough that they can't find legal precedent, even fanciful legal precedent, so they resort to things like Aesop's fables.
And see, what happened?
That really happened.
Yeah, that was the truth.
And what it shows is that there are no slam dunks in today's legal system.
And talking about no slam dunks, I think that Donald Trump thinks that his impeachment trial is going to be a slam dunk, and so do his supporters.
But time will tell.
Believe me, all it takes is a couple of waffling rhinos like Lamar Alexander and Mitt Romney and people like this.
And this thing could wind up devolving into a real horse race.
I hope it doesn't.
I think the whole thing is a miscarriage of justice.
But on the other hand, we have the left as our adversaries, and they don't play by the rules.
They make up the rules as they go along, and they'll do anything to win.
Lie, cheat, or steal.
That's just standard operating procedure for them.
Well, as I said, we had the textbook definition of libel to back up our claim.
And in our case, and Peter has been called a white nationalist, which, again, I support the fact that he's fighting this thing.
I think he should fight it.
I'm proud of him.
I'm rooting for him.
But, oh, boy, I tell you.
And if it came down to that, if he wins, you're going to have everybody to the right of Stalin that's going to have a libel suit on their hands because there's not any conservative activist, even mildly conservative, that has not been called a white supremacist, a white nationalist, a neo-Nazi.
Not too many have been called leaders of the Klan.
I think we're unique in that.
I think you really – Anything we're doing, we're doing right.
Yes, that's right.
We've got to go all the way.
Well, anyway, it caused me to look back on that year of 2016 when we were in the press, and I mean every press every week because of the Association Real or Imagine with the Trump campaign.
If this was the litmus for filing a libel lawsuit, we could have filed it over and over and over against every newspaper, every magazine.
We were covered by all of the TV networks.
Here's just one example.
Listen to this.
This is a day in the life.
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the Republican presidential frontrunner and one of his political aides, has granted a 20-minute radio interview to a prominent white supremacist who broadcast a show that has been dubbed the primary radio nexus of hate in America.
The younger Trump will be featured as a guest of honor in Saturday's broadcast of the Political Cesspool, a three-hour program that lists among its objectives to grow the percentage of whites in the world relative to other races.
The show is presented by James Edwards, an avowed white nationalist who is pro-slavery and whose previous guests include the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke.
Okay, so that was an Associated Press clip that aired in 2016.
I'm telling you, if Peter wins this case, I'm going to be licking my chops, ladies and gentlemen.
Pro-slavery.
That was another one.
I've never seen any of your slaves, James.
Where are they?
Well, we could use a little help around the house.
Anyway, so remember what U.S. Grant said because he didn't release his slaves until the 13th Amendment was enacted by Congress.
When he was asked why he didn't do it, and Robert E. Lee did it right before the war started, he said, good help is hard to find, I guess.
Well, this thing will play out for Brimolo.
We didn't even get a chance to go to court and argue our case.
We were rejected post-haste in both courts that we went to, and it still lasted almost two years from start to finish.
So Frimelo will, you know, this is going to take a while.
Well, if he knew the makeup of that en banc, that three-judge panel that made this decision, it wouldn't surprise you at all.
Well, what do you think he's going to be getting up in New York?
More of the same.
Well, you know, what's interesting, though, what's ironic is he's suing the New York Times of all the media I've done.
And, you know, over the years, we've done it all, or at least been covered by it all, even if we rejected the interview request.
I think the best experience I had with any media was of all places, and it's unexpected, I'll admit, the New York Times.
We did a series of interviews with Serge Kovaleski over the course of a couple of years, and he was a Pulitzer or is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer.
And he was the most fair of any media I've ever had.
On that level, and I'm not talking about, you know, we've done some reality TV and we've done some other things that came off okay, but I'm talking about when you get up to that level, that tier, when you're talking about the New York Times, the Washington Post was about as horrible as you possibly could be.
I remember an interview I gave to their senior editor, and it was just exactly what you would expect, I think.
But the New York Times, surprisingly so, was the most fair with me.
It's not the New York Times.
It's the New York Times.
If they fired Serge Kovaleski tomorrow, tomorrow, the New York Times would be just as bad as we're going to be.
Well, the New York Times is just as bad as the New York Post.
I'm just saying it was that individual.
I mean, it's just one out of the haystack.
You found the needle in the haystack.
And he was a haystack called the New York Times.
That's right.
So anyway, that's just, again, drawing from experience.
And that's one of the things that I think makes this show special is that we have the experience.
We've been there.
And a lot of the things that we're talking about, it's not just, you know, what would they do if they were actually put to the furnace?
Well, you know what we do.
We turn into steel.
I mean, we get hardened.
We get.
James and Daniel have been in the fiery in the lines then, right?
In the fiery furnace.
It's just, it seems silly how much, you know, going back, looking at Trump now and all the slings and arrows we took for him, you know, how disloyal has he been to his base.
I did see something with Stephen Miller.
You know, Trump has taught us one lesson.
What happens when you don't throw somebody under the bus?
They can't get him.
Now, I know the only reason Trump didn't throw Stephen Miller under the bus is because Stephen Miller's Jewish, or at least part Jewish, or at least that's what he claimed.
I saw Stephen Miller finally answer the accusations about him being a so-called white nationalist, and he ran to that familiar fortress.
He said, well, this is just a naked attempt by the Democratic Party to smear a Jewish activist in the administration.
It reminds me of Big Jim Folsom, the Alabama governor before George Wallace, who was caught in a Lovenest scandal and was told that he had.
I know where you're going.
I love that.
And he addressed, he was told he had to address the people of Alabama on the then newfangled medium of television to explain himself.
So he got on the television and said, well, ladies and gentlemen, let me say this.
This was nothing but a trap set for me by my political enemies.
And when you bait the trap like that, you'll catch Big Jim every time.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had forthright politicians like that?
That was, you know, that old southern flair and the Huey P. Long tradition.
And, of course, George Wallace came nearly right after Big Jim.
So, man, those were the days.
I tell you what, we had a chance back then.
But not now.
I can remember.
Now we have Ralph Northam.
We'll get to him in just a second.
Believe me, Governor of Virginia.
The best part is they had Dewop back then.
Well, that's why you inspired everybody.
Yeah, see, the thing is, a society that can create doo-wop can also create manly men like Big Jim Folsom.
But, yeah, I tell you, folks, if you ever get down, pop in the doowop song.
Maybe a bottle of wine.
The two will never let you down.
That's it.
We got to take a break.
We're going to start transitioning into what's going on in Virginia next.

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?

Welcome back.

Okay, well, this whole thing looking back on Trump, I mean, we're in another election year.
It seems silly.
In hindsight, it didn't seem silly at the time.
And if I had to do over again without the benefit of what would have come, I would have certainly been as eager to support Trump as I was at the time.
You know, we were there at the convention.
And, of course, you know all that.
Well, we were at the inauguration, too, Sam Bushman and I, Jared Taylor, and we were there, and we were up there seated with the press.
And I think it was on that day that we first really started to scratch our heads because Trump had Chuck Schumer deliver, I think, the eulogy, or not the eulogy, rather, but a prayer and in a speech at his inauguration.
I mean, Jared and I were sitting there saying, what in the hell is this all about?
Well, Chuck Schumer.
Some people are slow learners, and what Donald Trump is a slow learner about is that you cannot make friends out of your enemies politically.
Well, Keith, you didn't even know what I was about to bring up because we didn't talk about this tonight, but you really just fed into what I've got here.
So this is this, I mean, Trump continues to pander to the blacks, as he puts it.
Still in the teens, I've been trying to kiss behind, and it doesn't work.
Never has worked, never will work.
Percentage of the population is still in the teens.
And now we have the most recent poll.
You can put stock in polls or not if you want.
I mean, who's to say?
But this is a Washington Post poll that was just commissioned.
The poll was for January the 8th of this year.
90% of blacks disapprove of Trump's job performance.
83% say he's racist.
77% say he deserves no credit for the black unemployment rate.
And 76% say that Trump is doing as president what he's doing is bad for African Americans.
So, you know, all this pandering, you know, he has successfully alienated his most vocal base from the 2016 campaign.
Well, I was going to say, James.
And the people who actually voted for him, unlike these that he's pandered to.
I'm going to say 80% of blacks say that Trump is a racist.
They hate him.
They don't want to vote for him.
On the other hand, 80% plus of Southern whites voted for him, will vote for him again, and he continues to call us white supremacists and white nationalists and racists and tries to distance himself from us.
I guess we're criticizing Donald Trump for breaking the first rule of longevity in politics, which is you've got to be able to distinguish friends from enemy.
But guess what?
We need to learn the same lesson.
Well, look, could it have been worse under Hillary?
Absolutely.
I mean, I think, though, Hillary could have had us in a war with Russia.
Who knows?
But Trump has shown some restraint, at least the modicum, with regard to lobbying a few missiles and then backing down.
As long as Tucker Carlson can get his phone call through, then we may be saved.
But, I mean, ultimately, you could say that things have gotten worse under the Trump administration than they were four years ago.
There's no doubt about that.
It has gotten worse, perhaps at a slower pace than it would have under Hillary.
But it has gotten worse with regard to censorship, immigration, the demographic replacement of the founding state.
All of it.
The media, all of it.
Nothing's gotten better.
Nothing has gotten better.
Well, that's because the same people are advising Trump that were advising Obama and we're advising John Trump.
Well, put it this way.
We were better, not because of anything Obama did or didn't do or what Trump has done or hasn't done.
We were better the day Barack Obama got inaugurated as president than we are now in so many ways.
Well, like the who said, here's the new boss, just like the old boss.
This is what we've got because Jewish power and influence continues to run the show.
Okay, we were talking about the media and this libel lawsuit with Peter Brimelow.
And again, folks, we've got perspective on this.
We've been there.
And that's why I think you value our opinions on these matters because they're informed opinions.
We were talking about, and we're going to be talking about this the entire second hour with Sam Bushman, who has been covering it extensively.
He's got a great grasp on what's going on in Virginia.
But we've been reading some of the news coming out of Virginia.
And let me first say what's going on over there is that some concerned citizens who are rightly concerned that their Second Amendment rights are being infringed upon by the Democratic establishment, Governor Ralph Northam on down in the state of Virginia, are planning a Second Amendment rally in Richmond at the Capitol on Monday.
And here's the thing about Virginia.
Virginia is a gunslinger state.
It's an open carry state.
Open carry is legal in Virginia with or without a concealed carry permit.
Okay.
So Virginia is a state that has very lax gun laws, and that's good.
We're all for that.
We agree with that.
But guess what?
The governor of Virginia has declared a state of emergency.
Where have we heard that before?
Right down here with David Duke in 2008.
And furthermore, at Charlottesville, you know, whenever they want to infringe upon your constitutional rights as an American citizen, all they have to do on the left now is to declare a state of emergency, and all of your rights are suspended.
Well, this is what we were talking about, Keith, at dinner, because we knew this was going to be the primary focal point of the show tonight.
What's going on in Virginia?
I will just say this.
I think it's going to end up being much ado about nothing.
I don't think we're going to see another Charlottesville.
I don't think you're going to see a bunch of unrest.
It's going to depend on Antifa.
If Antifa gets there in numbers like they had in Charlottesville, it could be another bloodbath.
And you know what?
People that think they are the conservative establishment will find out they're just like the people that were vilified as white supremacists, bigots, and racists at Charlottesville.
If you're on the other side of their situation, then, you know, if you're on the other side of the political paradigm from the left, you will be vilified.
And it doesn't matter all the punches you've pulled through the years trying not to get through to these people, you know, to try to pacify the left.
It's not worth a fig.
You're going to be thrown under the bus just like David Duke.
Here's why I think it'll be much ado about nothing.
It's because our people at this point just don't have it in them.
And I'm not saying I want there to be rancor or any sort of violence.
I mean, of course, I don't, but I think our people don't even have it in them to go out, especially the kind of people who are going to be showing up there on Monday.
I think they're probably good people.
They're Second Amendment people.
They're probably better than your average man on the street, but they don't have it in them to really go in and dig their heels in.
This is something that was put up at Occidental Descent this week, and I agree entirely, and this is why we're in the position we're in.
Our people are willing to do nothing.
They are nothing but a timid mob of deracinated, atomized consumers who get their morals from the mass media and universities.
They don't feel a sense of duty or shame because that presupposes having a traditional sense of identity and morals, which have been lost under liberalism.
It would require them to feel like being part of something beyond themselves and willing to sacrifice for it when these natural instincts have been repressed for the past 70 years.
Most people, and I'm not talking about the people who may show up on Monday in Virginia.
I'm talking about most Americans, especially most white Americans, don't have a religion or a strong ethnic or cultural identity.
Therefore, they are nothing.
Many of them don't even have the desire to reproduce themselves and they abort their own children.
They're just here to work and pleasure themselves and to consume to the end and go to their graves after dying from diabetes.
It's a hyper-modern problem.
They are neoliberal men.
And as long as they've got beer and ball games, they are not going to be overly concerned with the governor of Virginia just saying, to hell with our laws, to hell with the Second Amendment, to hell with the laws of the state of Virginia.
You can't have a gun because I say so.
You got your beer in your ball games, though.
So what are you going to do about it?
And that jet ski, don't forget that jet ski in that little cabin out on the lake.
Let me tell you, they are the classic definition of a liberal.
I forget who said it, but somebody said the classic definition of a liberal is a person that can't take their own side in an argument.
They will not stand up for themselves.
They won't stand up for their race.
They won't stand up for their religion.
They will not transgress political correctness in any way.
And as a result, they're worthless in a fight.
Well, we were joking around about it, Keith, saying that there's a lot more room in prisons across the country now that Trump has let all the black felons out to put these so-called white supremacists.
Every time somebody gets arrested that's going to this thing, there are white supremacists.
The ones who are just going to show up, they're militia.
So I've seen this in every article I've read.
None of them say concerned citizens are going to Virginia to rally in defense of their Second Amendment right.
None of them say that.
It's militiamen.
You know, that makes people sound as standoffish and as kooky.
Yeah, military as in militias.
And see, what they do, they never say that you're going to be a person who they say alleged member of a white supremacist group.
Why don't they say a member of an alleged white supremacist group?
They won't do that.
You know, it's apparently written in stone because somebody over at the Southern Poverty Law Center said so, that these people belong to a white supremacist group.
What do they belong to?
James Dobson's focus on the family or Tony Perg's American Family Council?
All bona fide hate groups.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
But yeah, that's what we're talking about.
So, but yeah, Liberty News Radio, correct.
I mean, but this is the thing.
Why does the media do this?
I mean, why are they labeling everybody a white nationalist or a militia?
Well, there's a couple of reasons why they do that.
The number one reason is that they hate us, okay?
The number one reason is that they hate white people.
They hate white conservatives.
They hate rural America and everything it stands for.
And that is why the main reason they do it.
But the second reason they do it is it gets clicks.
I mean, imagine if the headline read, conservative citizens go to protect their Second Amendment right.
That's not going to get a click.
What's going to get a click is, for instance, Donald Trump Jr. appears on Conservative Radio Network.
That's not going to get a click.
But what will get a click is Donald Trump Jr. gives interview to pro-slavery radio hosts.
That's going to get a click.
Somebody's going to read that story.
It's white racist.
See, everything is, they use the most inflammatory language that they possibly can every time that they report on something like this.
And basically, they're telling you that you don't have the right to an idea.
You don't have the right to exist.
And unfortunately, white people believe in it.
There's an article this week in Occidental Observer by Andrew Joyce about how this was all devised right in the post-war period by a cultural Marxist guy named Mark Ploverman.
I would recommend you check that out and you'll understand more about the RPG.
