You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known 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.
Another fast-paced broadcast of TPC continues now this Saturday evening, January the 18th, our third show of the year.
Every show, every minute so far this year has been great, and it's not going to stop now.
I am really excited about this hour because I do think, even though I don't think we'll see a repeat of what happened in Charlottesville in Richmond on Monday, I don't think, and I certainly hope not, but it is interesting for a lot of reasons, the coverage this event's getting, what the governor has been able to do, the way the story is being presented, and nobody has covered it in more depth with people who will be there than Sam Bushman,
host of the Liberty Roundtable broadcast Monday through Saturday here at Liberty News Radio, LibertyRoundtable.com, LibertyNewsRadio.com.
Sam is, of course, the owner of this network, which syndicates us, a lifelong friend, and what a guy.
We're going to be talking with Sam in depth this hour about what's going on there.
What is planned in Virginia on Monday?
He'll break down the who, what, where, when, and why, opinion and analysis, commentary.
It's all coming.
But first, Sam wants to talk a little bit about Trump before we get into the affairs of Virginia.
All right.
Welcome, James.
Thanks so much for having me, my friend.
I'll tell you what, I warned everyone about Donald Trump when he first came down the escalator.
Look, this guy's a consummate insider.
This guy has been an inside hack from New York for his whole entire life.
And because he hasn't been a politician before, everybody felt like, hey, Donald would be, you know, something different or somehow take care of our people.
But you know what?
In my state, Mitt Romney is known as the greatest flip-flopper of all time.
But I think now Donald Trump is giving Mitt Romney a run for his money.
And I told you that Donald Trump would show his true colors.
And boy, howdy, do we see them.
Let me give you a couple of quick examples to make the point.
Trump now, he criticized big money in campaigns.
He said, I'm going to fund my own campaign.
I'm going to rely on the grassroots.
Shame on everybody who doesn't do that.
Okay.
Now the New York Times, a newspaper that Donald said would be closed right away.
You know, horrible.
They're going away.
They're shutting down.
Well, now the New York Times is one of the biggest papers.
They've had just blockbuster ratings because of the Donald.
Whenever Donald wants to break a story, he runs to the New York Times.
He claims he hates them.
But you know what?
The New York Times and CNN and Fox News, those guys would be done.
The new media would take center stage if it wasn't Donald propping up the old corpse by the jukebox kind of thing.
And I don't know what to say, but now the headline says this.
Aides of Donald Trump are shifting focus to donation by bundlers.
New York Times just came out like today or yesterday or something.
So now you've got Donald Trump literally moving to bundling because that way he can hide how much money's coming to him.
And you and I can't figure out where the donations are coming from.
Big bundling.
Heaven forbid that he use his own money like he said he was going to originally.
Correct.
Now he's relying on bundling money.
So my question is, do you think all the Jeffrey Epstein supporters now that Jeffrey committed suicide or is murdered or whatever the truth is on that?
We don't know.
Nobody cares, it seems.
But do you think all the big boys that are partners of Jeffrey Epstein are donating through bundling to the Donald now, James?
Well, you tell me, buddy.
Well, I'm telling you right now, what's interesting is this.
You ready?
Donald Trump is going to add, and he always does this, he adds swamp monsters to his campaign.
He had swamp monsters to his administration.
And now he's adding swamp monsters to his impeachment defense.
He adds three lawyers today or over the weekend.
Alan Derzowich.
Do you know who he is, James?
Oh, yeah.
All right, this guy is the guy that defended Jeffrey Epstein.
You know that, right?
Among others.
Okay.
Well, so Jeffrey's lawyer now, Jeff's dead, so he can't defend Jeff.
So he's going to now defend the Donald.
You comfortable with all that?
Okay.
But forget about Virginia.
Forget this Alan Dersowitz, now Kenneth Starr, the guy that was the suicide cover-up man on Vince Foster.
Kenneth Starr is going to be defending the Donald now, too, right?
Along with Robert Ray.
Did we think he was going to hire Kyle Bristow?
Yeah, right.
Well, hey, Kyle Wistowski.
No James case or country that is really the real McCoy ever finds their way into any position of power in the Trump administration, not even defending him.
He uses Jay Seculo, who is a Christianized Jewish guy who is his personal lawyer.
He uses Alan Dershowitz, another member of the tribe, to be his constitutional lawyer.
Look, you know, here's the thing.
Here's the thing with Trump, Sam, and this goes back to 16, and you and I talked about this.
I said, you know, there's a chance he could be real because he's apparently unbossed and unbought.
I think we know better now.
I just said, look, there's a chance.
And if it turns, worst case scenario, it's just going to be another common Republican administration, which for the most part, rhetoric notwithstanding, his rhetoric is still quite good.
That's pretty much what it's come down to.
But how does this parlay into what's going on in Richmond?
Because of this, his flip-flopping and rhetoric is just beyond the pale.
Here's a soundbite from the Donald on the campaign trail.
You know what a gun-free zone is to a sicko?
That's baked.
That's like gun-free zone.
And then they walk in with whatever the hell they're carrying.
And these five great soldiers, and I'm telling you, one of them was one of the most highly awarded.
He was super shot.
He's not allowed to have a gun.
All five are killed instantaneously.
And you have other cases.
I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools.
And you have to.
And on military bases, my first day it gets signed, okay?
My first day.
There's no more gun-free zones.
I mean, think of it.
A gun-free zone, a gun-free zone on a military base with some of the best soldiers we have sitting there relaxing, watching television, no gun, guy walks in, kills all of them, okay?
That ends immediately.
All right, now, here's how it matters.
So he's going to get rid of gun-free zones on military bases in government schools, right?
First day, baby.
This is serious, right?
First day.
But he changed his mind after he got elected and said this.
In a position to say, take the firearms first and then go to court because that's another system.
Because a lot of times by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures.
I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man's case that just took place in Florida.
He had a lot of firearms.
They saw everything.
To go to court would have taken a long time.
So you could do exactly what you're saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.
Take the guns first, due process second.
You can say, well, that doesn't matter too much, except for in Virginia, Governor Northam, this thug, literally declared the capital a gun-free zone.
And Virginia, as we said in the last segment, Sam, is a gunslinger state with some of the most action.
And of course, he's a gun free state.
He's a state of emergency in Charlottesville, too.
He's just dusting off the old Charlotte's.
Yeah, well, that was McAuliffe who did it.
You're right.
We'll get to that governor of Virginia again.
You know, just like in the Civil War, Virginia seems to be the hotspot for all the activity now.
Well, and Sam's been covering that.
I know we got the music coming up.
We're really going to center ourselves.
Am I tied in well enough for you, James?
What?
Say that again?
Am I tieing it in well enough for you?
I was just about to say he really tied it in well with the opening commentary on Trump and how it plays into what's going on in Virginia, which we're going to be focusing on exclusively for the remainder of the hour.
And Sam has got it for you.
Stay tuned.
I have a question.
Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens?
Can a country founded on God-given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our creator?
I believe that great nations and great civilizations spring from a people who have a moral compass.
I don't think a civilization can long endure that does not have respect for all human life, born and not yet dead.
I will be in earnest.
I will not equivocate and I will not excuse.
I will not retreat an inch and I will be heard.
One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life.

And now back to tonight's show.
All right, we are focusing on this Second Amendment rally that is scheduled to take place.
We'll see if it actually does now that another state of emergency has been declared.
It seems like anytime good people get together to practice their God-given constitutional rights of free assembly with permits and everything else, the state of emergency gets declared.
Virginia, you understand, though, this coming-up event was normally, it happens every single year and it was considered.
Every year, yeah, this is an annual thing, right?
It's not even a gun rights day.
It's called lobbying day.
But the gun rights battle because of the governor's hardcore declaration of literally we're going to disarm everybody.
We're going to call out the National Guard and everything else.
Hey, we're going to ask for money for an 18-member SWAT team to go ahead and go door-to-door.
Okay, the lobbying day got turned into this, literally by the governor and the response from the people.
Well, let me ask you a very obvious question and get your response to it.
If there was ever a demonstration that was going to be heavily populated with supporters of Donald Trump, the type of people that went out and pulled the lever for him in the last election, it would be these Second Amendment proponents and advocates that are running up against Governor Northam.
Where is Donald Trump?
Why doesn't he supersede Governor Northam's declaring of martial law and suspension of constitutional rights, Second Amendment rights in these people?
Where is Donald when we need him?
Amen.
Great question.
But my response is his goal is to take the guns first and due process second, sir.
Did you hear him loud and clear?
Yeah, well, he changed his mind.
He wasn't saying that at the beginning when he was first running for president.
Now he's all for suspending constitutional rights, and he's doing it against the very people who are his core of supporters.
Absolutely.
And that's what these people are.
So I want to get back to the headlines, just a couple of snippets from different articles.
And Sam, let me give you one headline to make this point because it really relates to how you guys finished up last hour.
You guys mentioned that the headlines have got to be salacious so they don't fly, right?
And that's the point that you guys made.
And here's the headline.
Believe it or not, this is even Western Journal in partnership with World Net Daily.
They're really conservative news people and pretty good people, but even they have to create salacious headlines.
Listen to this one.
Virginia governor declare state of emergency as militias prepare to march on Richmond.
Can it get more ratchet up?
It's a whiskey rebellion.
So here's what I'm going to get.
As I was just mentioning, whiskey rebellion.
Virginia declares emergency as tensions escalate over gun rights rally.
Organizers have, quote, unleashed something much larger, something they might not be able to control, Virginia's governor said.
Another headline, white nationalist militia causes Virginia Governor Northam to declare a state of emergency.
I mean, what white nationalist militia and what is the governor so afraid of?
Despite the fact that militia rhymes with militias.
Well, there you go.
And when the people are afraid of the government, you have tyranny.
When the government's afraid of the people, you have liberty.
The question is, what do we have today?
Now, Alex Jones had just as much of a salacious headline.
Here it is.
Gun grab in Virginia would spark next Civil War, Infowars.com.
I'm telling you right now, we're going to a Civil War, James.
Well, I'll tell you, you know, and of course, with your Confederate money, boys.
Richard Spencer was on the Alex Jones show this weekend.
I mean, Alex invited Richard to come.
And, I mean, what's which is interesting.
So anyway, I mean, is it here?
Look, this is a question, a good question, because you talked about this with several informed guests.
You had sheriffs on your show this week.
You had Stuart Rhodes of the Oathkeepers.
You had people who are going to be there.
Yeah, you know, passengers that are involved in the peaceful rally as well.
I had Tom DeWeez on that that's with Agenda 20 or against Agenda 21, American Policy.
He'll be there.
They actually put an event two days before the rally.
So it's going on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in partnership with the event, et cetera.
Okay, so that brings me to the question, actually, because I think the state of emergency thing, especially with Charlottesville being in very recent history and how all that played out, I think it's really going to dampen attendance.
I think it's not, I mean, people are saying it's a powder keg.
You know, you heard the hyperbole there with Alex Jones and the whole Civil War could get ignited here.
I think it'll be much to do about nothing, though, Sam.
I don't think there's going to be a lot of action.
Here's why we think it'll have something maybe more than we think.
Because the governor, literally, it's documented the governor is involved with Antifa, first of all.
Secondly, on my radio program, Stuart Rhodes was in his car driving by the Capitol.
And the venue that they had for everybody to speak and meet was surrounded by a wrought iron gate and literally had one way in and one way out.
And when the governor declared that it was going to be a gun-free zone, Stuart Rhodes and others said, We will not go into a turkey shoot.
We will not go into this, quote, free speech cage.
And so what Stuart Rhodes and others were proposing is, let's just take this protest to the streets.
Exactly what they did in Charlottesville, by the way, Sam.
Exactly.
You're right.
Northam wants a hot mess.
Yes, he does.
He is secretly or not so secretly on the side of Antifa.
And Antifa was the sole reason for all of the violence at Charlottesville.
So, you know, who knows how this thing is going to play out.
So Paul Beddard wrote an article about this very topic.
Says this, gun groups, quote, Virginia Democrats want violence to disrupt, to smear the peaceful Second Amendment protest so that they can crack down.
The New York Times, Donald's favorite newspaper, says, quote, warning of violence before rally in Virginia, New York Times.
Now, understand.
Well, it worked at Charlottesville.
Why won't it work now?
Well, that's right.
Now, here's the problem.
Even if a lot of people don't show up, here's the problem.
Even if a lot of people don't show up like James is speculating might be, and I think James may have a point that it will cool things off.
But here's the problem.
Once you take it out of that venue and you expand the venue to the streets, now you can have provocateurs that do not get caught and that do not get fingered as causing the violence and the problem.
Remember, this does not apply.
The gun, quote, free zone does not apply.
These rules do not apply to the armed state employees who will confront the protesters, right?
Right.
So you got armed protests.
That's going to go with a knife to a gunfight right there.
Well, I'll tell you what, George Soros is probably paying some seamstresses in the D.C. area to prepare Klan outfits for the Antifa people to wear.
You always got the false flag situation that could happen.
Now, listen to this.
West Virginia is getting in on the rhetoric, not Virginia.
Oh, yes, yes.
Now, here's what West Virginia says.
I heard this on your show.
Right.
West Virginia says, hey, man, all the counties are against the governor on this.
So if the governor doubles down and takes away your guns in bed with the Democratically elected legislature, so they're all Democrats and they just, they got in power and they're just drunk with power.
So West Virginia says to the counties in Virginia, hey, if y'all, your Second Amendment sanctuary counties, if you guys don't feel at home at Virginia, why don't you just secede as a county and join West Virginia?
Well, now we're talking.
Yeah, we can do that.
Just secede and join West Virginia.
That's all you got to do.
Well, this is, this is, I know what I was going to bring up a second ago.
All this commentary has got me all hot and bothered.
But the question is, so Virginia has very lax gun control laws, which is good, as we've mentioned.
But now, of course, the governor is saying, you know, forget all that.
We've got this state of emergency here because I say so, and you don't get to carry them in this zone.
And I think to me, Sam, it comes back to the beers and ball games thing.
Our people are too comfortable.
They're too content.
And as long as they've got the beers and ball games, you know, they might grouse a little bit, but they're not going to dig their heels in.
And what's to stop it from saying, well, this works so well.
I'm going to extend this all the way across the state.
We're going to have an indefinite state of emergency.
So the Bill of Rights is hereby suspended until further notice.
Now, the governor, by doubling down like this, though, has invited this to go to the streets.
And what that means, though, is how is that different than, well, what'll happen?
What if it gets violent and the governor declares martial law, James?
What if a fat girl gets run over by a cold?
Good point by an excellent white supremacist.
Yeah, which will be any white person that shows up.
I can guarantee you that.
No matter who they have to be white.
They might be Hispanic.
Then they'll just say they're white.
That's right, like George Zimmerman.
We've seen that before.
Chris Wallace will be the latest white supremacist because he's driving the car.
Anyway, more to come on this.
Interesting, which way will it go?
We'll find out in 48 hours, I guess.
It's going to happen on what I think they call it Lee King Day there in Virginia.
Or did they suspend that too?
We'll be back.

USA Radio News with Wendy King.
President Trump has said the Democrats are just trying to remove him from office.
The impeachment hoax.
It's a total hoax.
His legal team has sent the Senate a sharp response to its impeachment summons outlining the defense it expects to use in the upcoming trial.
His answer to the Senate's formal summons calls the two articles of impeachment passed by the House last month a dangerous attack on the right of the American people to freely choose their president.
Anita Kumar with Politico says the president's legal strategy is clear.
They're going to look at the constitutional issues, and that's going to be one line of attack, but they're also going to look at the process of what the House Democrats did during their process and how that process wasn't fair.
House impeachment managers have filed their briefs saying the president abused his power and obstructed Congress.

Prince Harry and wife Megan will no longer use titles Royal Highness or receive public funds for their work under a deal that lets the couple step aside as working royals, according to Buckingham Palace.
Releasing the details of the split triggered by the couple's unhappiness with life under media scrutiny, the palace said Megan and Harry will cease to be working members of the royal family.
They will still be known as Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Harry will remain prince and sixth in line to the British throne.
The agreement also calls for Megan and Harry to repay the millions of dollars in taxpayer money spent renovating a house for them near Windsor Castle.
The Queen said, Harry and Megan and Archie will always be much-loved members of my family.
She added, it is my whole family's hope that today's agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life.

And Sam Bushman, the three Musketeers, spitballing and hypothesizing on what may occur in Virginia on Monday.
Gentlemen, if you can, just give me 60 seconds to read through this, just reading again from the news.
Fearing a repeat of the deadly march by white nationalists in Charlottesville, Governor Ralph Northam on Wednesday declared a state of emergency and temporarily banned people from carrying guns on the grounds of the state capitol where thousands of gun rights activists are expected to rally next week against stricter gun control laws.
Now, this brings back memories.
A political rally to defend our constitutional rights in Virginia and a Democratic governor who declares a state of emergency to deliberately sabotage the event and throw it into chaos.
Now, you go back to Charlottesville and, of course, the people that went to that just thought it was another demonstration.
I mean, they were there to protect the dignity of the Robert E. Lee Monument.
They didn't want the monument to their ancestors, to their heroes, being taken down only by legitimate permit, James.
They did everything by the book.
Did it all by the book?
And by the way, you know, the Virginia Supreme Court also ruled in favor of Northam.
But just very quickly, they found out that day that once they were on the ground, that there was going to be no police protection, that the Democratic governor was sabotaging the event, and that the Charlottesville Police and Virginia State Volice were there to fight them and deliberately.
Sounds like Charlottesville Redoo.
And the only difference is Northam is not fearing a repeat of Charlottesville.
He's praying for a repeat of Charlottesville.
Well, and they made that happen.
They pushed them into Antifa in order to create a violent spectacle for the mainstream media.
And of course, everybody that was there was denounced as evil, thrown under the bus by the cowardly mainstream conservatives and Republicans.
Now it's happening again.
And they're the ones who are going to this gun rally in Richmond.
So it should be interesting to see if Antifa shows up, if they come out and start attacking everyone again and the Virginia State Police arrest anyone on the right who fights back in self-defense.
I mean, it remains to be seen.
I don't think though.
Or even tries to run away in fear like happened at Charlottesville.
Yeah, I don't think all that's going to happen, but in any event, this is what we're here to talk about.
It could happen.
This is as close as it's come to being.
I think it's going to happen, James.
I don't think it will be well attended.
I don't think it'll be as well attended as people think.
I think that the state of emergency will subdue a lot of the enthusiasm.
People will remember what happened in Charlottesville.
And you should remember what happened there because that was a travesty that was, of course, orchestrated by the governor and by the police and by the law enforcement there in that city.
I think it'll be not as well attended.
I don't think we're going to see fireworks.
I don't think we're going to see violence.
And of course, I hope we don't.
I pray we don't.
I just don't, I think it's going to be ultimately much to do about nothing.
But I think what makes it interesting, and it's certainly worth coverage because of all the facets, the way the media has presented it, the way you have this governor overstepping his bounds, declaring a state of emergency because of what?
Because of why.
I mean, these people aren't violent people that are coming.
There's no reason to declare a state of emergency, no legitimate reason.
So I think because of all that, it does make it worthy of our coverage and consideration here on this program.
On the other hand, I mean, you know, I predict that the only violent people will be Antifa if they're there.
And if they bring them there in large enough numbers, there will be violence.
Well, and Sam mentioned a second ago, we've been talking about Chuck Baldwin.
Chuck Baldwin has gone on fire.
Before we get to Chuck, though, I want to tell you my prediction.
You ready?
Hit me.
I predict that there will be decent crowds there.
It will not be as big as it could have been.
Some are saying 100 plus thousand people will be there.
I don't even think so.
Not even close.
However, what they'll do is, and this is often what the government does, either when they create a provocateur event and they create the problem and the violence and then try to pretend it wasn't them.
But in this case, what I think they're going to do is they're going to do this.
And they've already set the stage for this discussion.
Hey, it's going to be a violent white supremacist redo of Charlottesville.
We've got to stop the extremist white supremacist gun toton nut cases.
And so they already reported just recently: hey, we had three white supremacists get together.
One was coming on down from Canada.
They were all going to go ahead and three of them were going to attend.
There's six of them total.
Extreme white supremacists, hardcore.
But you know what?
The FBI already caught them and stopped them there, buddy.
Great save for your safety.
And so I predict that what they're going to do is they're going to have a couple of skirmishes, a couple of people get arrested on both sides.
Things that they can't really control will happen.
And we'll see that probably reality.
But what they'll do is they'll pitch this as the great stop by your government.
Man, I'm telling you right now, there was going to be a massive insurrection.
And thank the good Lord, the FBI and the Justice Department and Governor Northam and the educated police there.
They got a handle on it.
They stopped so many.
I mean, it could have been real bad, James.
It could have been real bad.
Yeah, they'll have white supremacists like James Dobson and Tony Perkins showing up there.
If you don't believe they are, just ask the SPLC.
Well, you hear rumors.
I mean, it's going to be a big stop.
A big, wow, we saved everybody.
Well, we'll see.
I mean, we'll find out really quick because this isn't happening.
You know, we started talking about this on the first show of the year when it was still 20 days out.
Now you're two days out.
There's all kinds of unsubstantiated rumors out there, speculation that the Democrats or the state is planning a false flag.
And they're going to have Antifa dressing up as patriots to get out of hand so that they can crack the whip.
But you know what?
You can't win on this, though, Sam.
If nobody shows up because they smell a trap, they'll say, well, this support for the Second Amendment, most people have out there.
That's a great point.
You know, that's more apparent than real.
People don't care about the Second Amendment.
You know, they care about their jet skills.
It's like Simon and Garfunkel said: laugh about it, shout about it when you have to choose.
Any way you look at it, you lose.
That's right.
That's it.
Now, the governor's a little bit in a bind, though, because if nobody shows up, then what happens?
He just moves forward with his gun control.
Yeah, he says, well, the people of Virginia have spoken.
They're 100% behind me.
These rabble-rousers tried to bring out all these white supremacists and whatnot.
And guess what?
The good people of Virginia weren't going to be used like that.
They support me 100%.
If you're interested in this before Monday, folks, go back and listen to any of Sam's broadcasts this week.
Some of the headlines he's been working from, this was a headline in the establishment press.
Virginia governor declared state of emergency as militias prepare to march on Richmond.
I mean, everyone who's concerned about the Second Amendment must be a member of some sort of militia, which is, of course, presented as being scary and sketchy.
You mentioned already, Sam, that these rules, of course, for gun control don't apply to the armed state employees who are going to confront the protesters.
But this is all less than a week away, and all eyes are on Virginia, and that's why we're talking about it tonight.
So the report that they had 100,000 people show up for a march for transgendered rights.
The question becomes, what's going to happen now?
Is Donald going to say a word about it or is he just going to ignore it?
Have you watched his Twitter feed?
He's talking about nothing.
Yeah, you know, we were just doing that.
We were doing that during the break.
He's talking about his poll numbers, his approval rating.
He's wishing happy birthday.
Not that Carrie.
He's going to watch a football game tomorrow.
Stuff like that.
Wishing happy birthday to Carrie Brown.
So while that's going on, Chuck Baldwin has a completely different take, which I believe is worth exploration, sir.
When we come back after this next segment, I'm going to read a paragraph excerpt from that because it is so powerful and it really sets the stage for whatever's going to happen on Monday.
I think what Chuck Baldwin wrote and what I'm about to read sets the stage better than anything we could say.
But go ahead and give a little breakdown of that Baldwin article.
So a little breakdown is he says this.
The title of it is Lexington and Concord Redux in Virginia.
Now, does anybody know what a Redux is?
It's a redo.
Yeah, it's a redo.
It's a do-over.
It's a bring it back.
It's to bring it up again.
And so he takes us back to Lexington and Concord and talks about kind of the history of kind of how it went down.
The Patriots didn't just all of a sudden get crazy.
It wasn't a bunch of just anti-government folks.
It wasn't something that just tipped off in a second.
They had been patient.
They had taken tax abuses and all kinds of different abuses from King George for decades.
What finally brought it to a head was this reality of, hey, if we don't stand up now and they take our guns, we won't be able to stand up later at all.
And so that's kind of the point here.
And Governor Northam really is playing King George and Donald is silent.
You got to admit, that's a paradox here.
Why is Donald?
Silence is deafening.
That's what it is.
When Northam is playing King George.
Who is Trump playing?
Nero?
Well, I don't know what Trump plays.
Trump's kind of like Pontius Pilot.
Washing his hands of the whole business.
I'm not going to touch this with a 10-foot pole, y'all.
Let Barabas go.
And what's interesting, I mean, he doesn't even get as involved as Pontius Pilate did.
He at least tried to talk the mob out of crucifying.
This is in Richmond, Virginia, which is within walking distance of the White House.
I mean, it'd be, I mean, no matter where it's at in America, Trump could very easily be there.
He's the president.
He's no more than four hours away from any point in this whole country by plane.
But if Trump really supported the people that supported him, he'd be down there with them.
Well, and I don't know why Trump's not the keynote speaker at the rally and say to Northam, you know what, sir?
We're going to impeach you as governor if you don't stop this shenanigan.
There is no reason.
This is the truth.
There is no reason for him to declare a state of emergency because law-abiding citizens who have the right to carry openly in the state of Virginia show up with their guns.
He doesn't want it because he knows that he is trampling on their rights.
And they're showing up, by the way, to not a gun-really rally, if you will.
I know it's turned into that, but this is nothing more than lobby day.
Yeah, you mentioned this is something that they do every year.
Every year these people come to say lobby and they got it.
We'll be back.
I'm going to read a powerful excerpt from Chuck Baldwin's latest column, Lexington and Concord Redux.
Then I want to tell you about Chuck Baldwin's parting shot at the end of his article, too.
Kosher, certified.
Put the two words together to get Koch certified, which is spelled with an SEH instead of just SH.
It's the right way to spell this, the German way.
And they made it easier to trademark.
Now, did I tell you that the letters SCH still make the shh sound?
As in all those American food producers saying, shh, let's keep it really quiet that our product is kosher certified.
Think about it.
Nearly one century of kosher certification, and hardly anyone outside Exclusive Observers knows that most packaged food and kitchen products are literally certified by religious intermediaries.
Well, because you, consumer, are indirectly paying for this, the Coach Certified app is here to make kosher certification awareness an inclusive matter for people of all faiths and identities.
And it even boasts a unique database of products not kosher certified.
We call that NKC.
Start meming it.
It's fun.
NKC, not kosher certified.
Now to confuse our audience even more, we put a question mark at the end of our name.
And that really sinced our trademark approval.
It relates to the website where you can begin your new shopping behavior, thekosherquestion.com.

As the United States boldly stepped forward in the glorious light provided by its new constitution in 1787, the nations of the earth were in awe of the newfound strength and hope of this free land.
Today, the nation stands at a crossroads.
A divergence from the original intent put forth in the United States Constitution has brought grave threats to our beloved nation.
A miracle is needed if the United States is to survive.
That miracle is again the pure application of the United States Constitution.
I'm Scott Bradley.
In my To Preserve the Nation book and lecture series, I bring forth truths that will help raise up a new generation of statesmen like those noble Americans who founded this land.
Vigorous application of these principles will invigorate and restore the nation, and we may become again the freest, most prosperous, most respected, and happiest nation on earth.

Okay, so we've been talking about this column from Pastor Chuck Baldwin entitled Lexington and Concord Redux.
And I'm just going to read a quick passage from it.
We're going to let Sam Bushman sink his teeth into it.
So right now, we're obviously in the current year, 2020.
Go back 245 years.
What do you got?
1775.
You know, civilizationally speaking, 245 years is not a long time at all.
We have really gone to hell in a handbasket in a short time as far as civilization, the rise and fall of empires and all goes.
But anyway, Chuck writes this.
Now, 245 years later, the government of the Commonwealth of Virginia is threatening to cross the line again.
As we speak, the state of Virginia is attempting to pass laws that would forcefully confiscate the arms of the people of that sovereign state, specifically semi-automatic rifles and pistols.
And this comes from an establishment news source.
I'm reading now an excerpt.
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is backing a proposed ban that would prohibit the sale of many semi-automatic firearm designs like the AR-15, but would grandfather existing owners of the weapons so long as they are registered or else face surrender.
This proposed bill did note the provisions of this May Act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment.
Chuck Baldwin continues, make no mistake about it, this has the potential to be a Lexington and Concord redux.
Get a grip on this, folks, Chuck writes.
This is happening in the land of Washington and Jefferson, the land of Lee and Jackson.
This is happening in Virginia.
As one can imagine, the freedom-loving people of Virginia are not taking this lying down.
91 counties.
Now, this is something we haven't really heavily focused on tonight, but it should be repeated.
91 counties and 11 cities in the state of Virginia had declared themselves to be in open rebellion against these tyrannical proposals from Richmond.
Now, hold on.
What if the capital of the Confederacy is sanctuary counties?
What if these 91 counties secede and go to West Virginia?
Well, this is on the table, I guess, or just form their own state.
Well, that's the vast majority of them.
They did.
Now, they did get an official invitation, I guess you could say.
The vast majority of sheriffs around the state have said they will not enforce these gun confiscation laws if they are passed.
And the sales of firearms in Virginia have recently exploded.
So this is the thing that really, I think, adds a little bit of kick to it, that 91 counties.
So you have, you know, obviously a county mayor, a county commission, a board of aldermen or whatever.
91 counties, this isn't just a ragtag rabble of people that the media is dismissing as white nationalists or militiamen.
91 counties have declared themselves to be in rebellion against Northam's laws here, and the firearms have sales have exploded.
That is what makes this the potential to be a powder can.
By the way, don't you think that's a good question?
It's stealing a page out of the Left playbook.
This is our version on the right of the left sanctuary cities regarding immigration enforcement.
But you see, when Trump was confronted with those sanctuary cities, he said, I'm going to cut off federal funds, this, that, and there.
But it was a classic case of when all is said and done, more will be said than done.
Now, the left under Northam, they will put teeth into it.
They say, well, if law enforcement won't enforce these laws, they're going to be fired.
They're going to lose their pensions and this, that, and the other.
See, they mean business.
The Republicans never mean business.
The Republicans are supine.
They're lying on their back.
They're never going to come and do, you know, do anything significant to protect the interests of the people that keep electing them to office.
Now, let's be clear, though, and not call them laws, James, because even though they pass them and they claim they're laws, they're really the color of law.
You can ask Keith about this from an attorney perspective, but they're really the color of law.
Why?
Because the supreme law of the land gives us the right to keep and bear arms, and that right shall not be infringed.
And if they make color of law commandments or regulatory realities, the fact is that I'll be thrown in jail for violating the Supreme Law.
Well, that's unless they run into a bunch of judges like James did on his defamation case.
Believe me, you can't depend on anything.
There's no slam dunk in the law system that we have now because so many of these Republican-appointed judges are chicken hogs and they will not go to, they'll do anything.
to avoid being unpopular.
They want to be promoted up to the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court, and they're never going to get on the wrong side of anything.
And unfortunately, when you let the Federalist Society decide who your Supreme Court nominees are, I am not real hopeful.
For example, Scalia died.
Has Scalia been replaced?
Not only no, but heck no.
The people that he put up there are pale imitations of Scalia.
Well, Sam, you said you wanted to accentuate a final point that Chuck Baldwin made in that column.
I also want to ask you what you would like to see happen.
If we could script what happens on Monday, how does that go as well?
All right.
So here's what Chuck Baldwin finished his column with.
He said, I've said it from the pulpit, and I'll say it again right here.
The day that my AR-15 is outlawed, I become an outlaw.
There you go.
All right.
So Chuck's an outlaw now, at least in Virginia.
Well, North will be glad to clap him in irons and send him to jail, I guarantee you.
Yes, he will.
And believe it or not, he's asked the legislature for money to create an 18-man force in conjunction with the National Guard to do that very thing.
Now, why doesn't Donald call out the National Guard and say, governor, stand down, young man?
He could do it.
They did it in the South.
That's what they did to Ross Barnett and Orville Faulbus.
Why can't it be done to Ralph Northam?
It could be and should be, but it ain't.
Well, we've got a comment here from a listener, Sam, and I think they're on to something.
Less doo-op music, more negativity.
Is there a correlation?
Yes, there is, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm telling you right now.
Got to go back to retroculture if we want to fix this for sure.
Donald talks about it.
It never gets it done.
The political cesspool is going to get it done.
If you were telling me on the all-ty-dio is going to get it done.
I'll tell you what, we'd probably be a lot happier if we just listened to doo-op music on repeat.
But anyway, what timing there, Sam?
That may be in an instant good mood already.
It's an instant good mood.
Well, anyway, so now they're in a good mood.
Let's talk about how we'd like to see this thing play out.
Sam, how would you like to see it play out?
Well, here's what I would like to see happen.
And I'm going to give you two scenarios.
One I think is real, one is hopeful, a hopeful wish, if you will.
And I'll be quick because I know we're out of time and we all three need to go.
I wish that Donald Trump would stand up as the commander-in-chief of the greatest country on the face of the earth and say, we're going to keep America great again by evicting this governor.
We're simply going to get rid of him.
He doesn't understand the Constitution.
He doesn't understand our history.
And he's flat out violating the law.
He's a criminal and needs to be thrown in jail.
And Donald would throw him in jail and get that done, but he won't.
Okay?
But I wish the president would stand up as he's promised he would do and get rid of gun-free zones period into paragraph.
But here's what I do think will happen.
They'll make a to-do about nothing, as James wisely points out.
I think they will, in the end of the day, have a couple of skirmishes and say, golly, glad we dodged a bullet on this one.
But I think there'll be skirmishes from this point forward that will continue to bubble up.
And eventually one of them will not go very well, will result in the violence.
I pray it doesn't happen, but predict that's how it's going to go down.
All right.
Well, Keith, you take a crack out.
How would you like to see things go on Monday?
Because one way or another, this will play out on Monday.
Well, I'll give a sound amen to Sam's first point.
This is the golden opportunity for Donald Trump to put his money where his mouth is, to show his supporters that they didn't support him in vain, stand up for the Second Amendment rights and all the patriots in America that think that's a very valuable right and a crucial right.
That's what they want.
That's what he owes them.
That's what he could do.
I don't think he's going to do it.
I think, like he said, it's going to be when all is said and done, more will be said than done.
And then both sides will claim victory, Ralph Northam on one side, the Second Amendment Patriots on the other.
But guess who has control of all the microphones and all the printing presses?
So how will the average person perceive it?
It'll perceive it as a leftist victory.
I mentioned this in a passing comment a moment ago.
It does pain me to see that this sort of stuff is coming from the former capital of the Confederacy.
Well, it's the hotbed for all of this.
That's what it was in 1861 through 1861.
Well, in 1861, they're in a lot better shape, at least.
Yeah, well, it's now the hotbed again, Charlottesville.
They're on the opposite side of it.
Right.
On the bad guy's side.
Yeah, well, I hope Appomattox turns out differently this time.
Well, but, you know, Sam, with all of that.
Well, at the end of the day, though, I'm convinced that what this will do is just set the stage.
You know, it's kind of like how shootings in America happened.
You know, we used to have none, or rarely, rarely, rarely.
And then all of a sudden there was more and more and more and more.
Now they're every single day literally pushing this narrative.
I think the same thing will happen, but just on a broader scale.
This one will kind of be a whole lot to do about nothing.
But then there'll be one and two and three.
And why do I say that?
Because that's the way it was at the Bundy Ranch.
And that's the way it was with Randy Weaver.
And we're starting to see more and more and more of these things intentionally happen.
Write it down.
More skirmishes.
Remember Waco.
Waco, Texas.
Excellent.
Good point.
Exactly right.
Well, you know, but I say, though, if people were hungry and if people were out of work, there would be a lot more potential for the powder keg to ignite.
But with people having those, how do we put it in the middle of the moment?
Whether they have their cabin down by the lake and the jet ski, and they'll forget all about that.
You don't have to have nearly that much.
A six-pack and a ball game would be enough to do it.
Bread and side.
The side is, buddy.
Got to have hot wings and beer and you're good to go.
And so too many of our people still have that, and I just – we'll see.
We're not even making bad things.
I mean, I hope something good comes from me.
And nothing good on it, that's for sure.
Well, as Elvis, our patron saint here in Memphis said, too much conversation, not enough action.
That's what he was talking about, too.
Well, anyway, Sam, you've done such a great job of covering this all week on your broadcast.
We thank you for coming on.
I want to give one last comment, if I may, James.
Sure.
No matter what happens, pray for peace, ladies and gentlemen.
There you go.
That's what we're going to do.
That's what we all hope for out of this.
No repeat of Charlottesville at all.
And, of course, we do certainly hope that there is no extension of the infringement upon people's Second Amendment's rights there in the state of Lee and Jackson.
Well, tomorrow is Sunday, folks.
Pray for the right result.
We'll be back.
We still got one hour to go.
I want to thank Sam Bushman again.
Sonny Thomas.
Sonny Thomas and Jack Ryan on deck for the third hour.
