You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
Because he's not just one of the crowd.
My baby's always the one to try the things they've never done.
Just because...
Oh, my lovely.
He's always good to me.
Always takes my ten of heroes.
He's not a rebel known enough.
Well, welcome, everybody, to TPC.
Do we have any rebels in the audience tonight this Saturday evening, April 4th?
Confederate History Month is back.
And while the rest of the world frets over a virus, we're going to spend the next month remembering and celebrating our southern heroes.
This is always a highlight of TPC's annual calendar.
And it begins tonight with guests Paul Angel, the editor-in-chief of the Barnes Review Historical Journal, and our good friend and regularly appearing guest on Confederate History Month and throughout the year, Gene Andrews, a former commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the current caretaker of the Nathan Bedford Forest Boyhood Home.
This series is always a fan favorite, and we promise you another great month of pro-Southern programming.
It is Confederate History Month 2020 here on TPC.
And this has been a year to remember already.
I mean, we had a march to remember, TPC's March Around the World.
I think we're going to call it.
We may make that another annual series, our world tour, our march around the world in March.
That was a lot of fun.
Some great guests.
Very cool.
Going right into another special series, Confederate History Month.
And by the way, we had a successful first quarter fundraising drive.
It was tenuous.
It was touch and go.
It was crazy with all the distraction and the uncertainty with the virus.
But we ended up rallying in a big way.
Shipments are going to go out late next week.
But first, let's go to Keith Alexander.
Keith, happy Confederate History Month to you.
I think we have got a great mix of fan favorites, guests who appear every year during Confederate History Month, and some new guests that are going to add to the discussion.
People like Paul Angel tonight.
We've got some others already scheduled to appear throughout the remainder of the month.
We're going to have a hell of a time on PPC celebrating Confederate history this month, and it starts tonight.
You know, you never run out of material when you study the Civil War.
The more you get into it, the more you find.
It's like taking the layers off of an onion or something.
And I have come to several different conclusions from the conclusions I've normally held about the war and about various figures that were either figured into the pre-war buildup or in the war itself.
And I can't wait to share all that with our audience.
Well, we've got a month to do it, and a month isn't long enough.
We should celebrate our Southern patrimony.
And of course, we do year-round.
And even for the people across the country, so many great copperheads, so many great northerners and westerners and really people around the world.
I get more emails about our Confederate History Month series than any single topic we cover on this show throughout the 12 months that we're on the air.
Now in our 16th year, a lot of emails, a lot of cards.
Want to thank everyone who sent in some correspondence pertaining to their excitement about this series over the course of just the past few days.
They know it comes every year.
We deliver every year.
Now in our 16th year, it's Confederate History Month, and we'll do it every year.
I can tell you that, as long as we're on the air.
And we've had some star-studded lineups during our Confederate History Month series going back many, many years, featuring everyone from people like Michael Andrew Grissom, who wrote the Southern epics, Southern by the Grace of God, the Last Rebel Yell.
South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Glenn McConnell has been on the show in Confederate History Month before.
Now, why do we do this, though, every year?
Because, of course, of our genuine pride of Southern heritage and our deep love and respect for those ancestors of ours who fought to preserve the American way of life from 1861 to 1865.
Keith, that's what they did.
They were heroes.
They were heroes then.
They're heroes now.
And we'll never forget them.
We will always stand for them.
We will always advocate for them.
And we do it here.
And we're proud to do it.
We are the only radio show in the world that does.
Believe me, the right side didn't win that war.
America and subsequent world history would be so much better off if the South had won the Civil War.
And we'll go into that in some detail over the next several programs.
We're going to dedicate up to two hours each week during our broadcasts during the month of April.
And as I've said before, we should never forget that the South was right.
There's no shame to bear.
In fact, I say it every year.
I'll say it again, my opening salvo.
I consider myself having won the genetic lottery for God to have given me the gift of coming into this world as a southerner and to have been born and raised in the former Confederate state of Tennessee.
It's a birthright that I wouldn't trade for anything.
And it's an affirmation of pride that we should all share.
Y'all know my great, great, great grandfather, that's three greats, was a member of the Confederate cavalry.
I was born, and many other in my line, as Keith Alexander, Keith has a very rich Confederate history as well.
I was born 115 years.
I was born in 1980, 115 years after Lee surrendered to Appomattox.
And I will tell you that there is something deeply spiritual that comes over me every time I hear our anthem, Dixie, being played.
Chills every time my eyes swell with emotion when I read of the gallant sacrifices that those brave men made in their attempts to stave off federal oppression and tyranny.
And maybe it's something that only a southerner can truly know.
But I'll tell you again, Keith, we have listeners all over the world who tune in in April to hear this series.
And I tell them, and this is something that anybody can relate to, what is love if not loving your own family first and standing at the ready to defend their honor.
And with that being said, folks, wherever you may be, we want you to join in our on-air celebration of the South this April.
For the next four weeks, mark your calendar and get ready to be with us as we remember those brave and good Americans worthy of remembrance.
These men were better Americans than you and I will ever know.
And we hope that their memory long lives in the hearts and minds of all decent people in Dixieland and beyond.
And you know that the battle has sharpened lately.
Our enemies have gone to in these black-dominated cities like Memphis and elsewhere in the South to taking down Confederate statues.
But all that has done is reawaken the sleeping giant.
People are rediscovering their Confederate heritage, white people in the South and throughout all of the world.
And we realize now that this is a battle that is, you know, the battles of the Civil War are still being fought today.
And I have the feeling that we're going to win this time.
Things are going to be better because the Southern viewpoint on all manner of things is going to prevail.
Keith, just as we're talking here in this first segment, already getting feedback, got something here from one of our listeners.
James, I'm probably the only Puerto Rican guy with Confederate ancestry.
I have several Confederate ancestors, including one who was a POW at Point Lookout, Maryland.
So this is what I'm talking about.
Folks, you're going to notice a little bit extra pep in our step this month, a little more energy.
Now, it's always high energy here on TPC, but this is something we are probably, I'd say, most passionate about.
And Confederate History Month, 2020 on TPC will officially kick off in the second hour.
We're going to cover some current news and headlines, but we wanted to get started with that kickoff.
With those opening remarks, we'll be right back.
Stay tuned.
Don't worry.
Do we reflect about our future and where we as a culture are moving?
Do we keep our trust in our jobs, homes, money, life necessities, investments, stock markets?
Do we believe that our 401ks or other retirements will always be there and that the current economic order will recover?
Is the economy going to recover and life return to normal?
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medjagoria.
Whether you are poor, middle class, or rich, it ain't going to happen.
A book of astounding revelations about the present economic order and where we are heading.
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medjagoria.
To order, visit medge.com, spelled NEJ.com, or call Caritas in the U.S. 205-672-2000.
Why don't we say to the government, writ large, that they have to spend a little bit less?
Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last?
Anybody better have a 1% pay cut?
You deal with it.
That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut.
If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief.
But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible.
Who are they?
Republicans.
Who are they?
Democrats.
Who are they?
Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money.
So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere.
The money will be added to the debt and there will be a day of reckoning.
What's the day of reckoning?
The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market.
The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar.
When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency.
Hey, listen up.
This is a deep state alert.
Former Texas Congressman Steve Stockman, who moved to arrest Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress, has been imprisoned by the very office that Lerner led.
You heard right.
Stockman hit the Obama administration hard and they hit back with the full force of the federal government.
The guy who said he wanted Mark Levin as Speaker of the House was the first to threaten Obama's impeachment, exposed Hillary's selling steel to the Iranians, and blocked both Obama's immigration and gun bills from even reaching the House.
But Obama holdovers came after him in federal court with trumped-up charges and have locked our guy up.
Like many others, he was on Obama's hit list.
Steve fought for us in Congress.
Now we need to fight for him.
Don't abandon this wounded hero on the battlefield.
Let's help cover his massive legal costs.
To chip in five bucks or more, text the word fight to 444-999.
That's fight, F-I-G-H-T to 444-999 or go to defendapatriot.com.
That's defendapatriot.com.
He's a rebel because he never ever does what he should.
Just because he doesn't do what everybody else does.
That's the reason why we can't check.
He is always good to me.
Good to him, I'll try to get.
He's not rebel and all alone.
He's not rebel known enough to be.
He's not a rebel, no help no man.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to my favorite month of the year here on TPC.
16 years, Keith, can you believe we've been doing Confederate History Month?
And I hope here's to 16 more, God willing and Jesus Terries.
And speaking of Jesus Christ, we're going to celebrate his resurrection.
I tell you, you know, there's so much going on this show in the month of April.
And we've had so many special events like the March Around the World last month.
We had the Ladies' Night for Valentine's Day in February.
And there's always something cooking here at TPC.
And we're going to have a special Easter message for my pastor next week as Easter in Dixie Land.
We're going to have a convergence of Easter and our celebration of the South.
And so really so much of what makes TPC TPC is coming together this month.
But before we get to all that, let's talk about some of the current headlines.
And if there is any headlines out there, they're about the coronavirus.
So let me reiterate that there is a virus out there that spreads easily.
I think we've covered this for about an hour each show for the last few weeks.
It's a virus that's going to kill no more than 2% of those that it infects.
That could end up to be hundreds of thousands of people by the time it runs its course, maybe more.
And that is tragic.
But it is not worth another Great Depression.
It's just not.
My parents are both in the at-risk category.
I love my parents.
There's nothing, Keith has it.
Keith's coming down with it right now.
My parents are both in the at-risk category.
I love them.
There's nothing I wouldn't do for my parents.
I pray for their safety.
I pray that they don't get sick.
I certainly pray that nothing worse happens.
But I would say the same thing if it were me.
Listen to these numbers.
It is absolutely staggering.
Coronavirus job losses could total 47 million.
The unemployment rate could hit 32%.
There are approximately, not counting the illegals, 330 million Americans.
A significant percentage of that are obviously too old or too young to work.
You got retirees, people under 16.
For the unemployment rate to reach 47 million people, 32%, you'd have to have a viral killer that claims the lives of at least a million Americans to justify these numbers, to justify what has happened with the shuttering of all these businesses.
Now, right now, the number of total deaths in America is less than 10,000.
Now, that's going to raise.
But to put it in perspective, a normal flu season is between 30 and 70,000 deaths per year here in the United States.
Now, a bad flu season, you'd say 70,000 or 650,000 worldwide.
So to date, the numbers for the coronavirus just don't impress me.
Any loss of life is sad, yes.
But if you get this, you have a 97 to 98% chance of surviving and being just fine.
If you get it, now that's a fact.
Here's another fact.
6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week.
If you still have a job, find your boss and thank him, Keith.
You know, even if we lost a million people to this, a million people dying of the coronavirus, that'd be less than one-third of 1%, basically.
And on the other hand, if we have a Great Depression like we had beginning in 1929 for about 10 years, that would be devastating.
Nobody kept up with mortality rates because of deaths of despair and whatnot during the Great Depression.
But I guarantee you, it would exceed a million people if we have that type of depression.
Our people in today's America are ill-equipped to handle that.
And with the racial divisions and ethnic divisions that we have in this country now, it would be a powder keg.
And it's not hard-hearted or hard-bowled economics to say that we need to consider the economic consequences of shutting down the economy and weighing that against the mortality figures for the coronavirus.
Because believe me, if we have a depression like the Great Depression that results from this, it will be more significant and will cause more pain and suffering to the American people than the coronavirus.
Here's another thing that came in.
We were talking about this during our pre-show prep session, and our good friend Rich, who, by the way, just underwent, I guess I'm violating HIPAA here, but he had a pretty major surgery.
He's on the mend, and he's doing well.
And we hate to quote a Yankee.
We really hate to quote President Lincoln, but we can't spare Rich.
He's a man who fights.
So we're glad that Rich is on the mend.
That was a Lincoln quote regarding General Ulysses S. Grant, by the way, for those of you who are keeping sure.
No, that's not who we're celebrating this month.
But anyway, a good quote is a good quote.
Well, Rich has a good quote.
And he said, there's a big difference between dying with the coronavirus and dying from the coronavirus.
So what you have here is comorbidity, as it's called.
And, you know, the coronavirus could be something that.
It could be the straw that breaks a camel's back, but the main contributing factor to somebody's mortality could be things like diabetes, pneumonia, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, everything.
You could be on chemotherapy.
And so if you die of coronavirus if you get it.
If you get coronavirus and you die when you have these underlying issues, did you die from the coronavirus?
Well, maybe that's what sent you over, but would you have survived event if you had not been obese or if you weren't on chemotherapy?
You know, so that's something you've got to consider.
Now, Nick Griffin, who appeared, of course, during our March Around the World series a few weeks ago, wrote recently with the COVID-19 data pouring in.
And by the way, why do they call it COVID-19?
It's because there was 18 other viruses like this that nobody gave a hell about.
Well, the common cold is a coronavirus.
This is a respiratory illness.
He said, it's now clear that coronavirus is a nasty respiratory illness.
Getting some feedback in my headset.
The old and sick need to be locked away.
The young and fit need to be tested and go back to work.
It's wrecking the economy, and it's going to create a greater depression whose poverty and dispel will kill far more.
Just like I said.
Of course, I agree with Nick on that.
Yeah, just like you said.
That's right, Keith.
Now, there's something else that's going on.
This whole thing is just a game.
It really is a game.
It is, I believe, a naturally occurring thing.
It might not be.
I still think it is.
And they're using it to advance their designs.
I've said that probably two or three weeks ago.
No, it's a political correct issue now, too.
Look at what they're doing.
Well, I was just going to say very quickly, Keith, not to interrupt, but the effects are real.
The unemployment is real.
The tanking of the economy is real.
But now that it's here, the powers that be are using it as a blank check to rob us blind, the media for clicks, and the politicians for pork.
Know what, as we talked about last week, what is 300 million to PBS and 35 million to the Kennedy Center, which was packed in this stimulus package, have to do with anything.
The media is playing it.
They criticize Trump for not doing what they thought he should do in the beginning.
And then when he does it, they say, well, he's beating a hasty retreat.
You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Well, you know, if you're not for shutting everything down and converting every last bit of our moral fiber and our energy to fighting coronavirus, you're either an ignoramus or an ogre, and probably both.
It's a politically correct issue.
No one wants to come out against mom, apple pie, or fighting the coronavirus.
Well, you're more right than you know, Keith.
So offer me your commentary on this, and we've only got a minute before break, but there's a new term out there.
You've heard of Holocaust denier.
God knows you have.
You've heard of climate change denier.
Now they're calling it coronavirus deniers.
Just put a denier after anything and you can make your target appear to be very scary.
But Brazil's high air Bolsonaro in a recent article was named the leader of the coronavirus deniers.
Now, as one of our friends in Michigan, Jim, wrote to me, just what does coronavirus denier even mean?
Articles are appearing all the time that maintain that the effects of the virus have been overprojected by orders of magnitude.
Few are denying that it exists and that it can be deadly.
It's just a matter of exaggeration and scale.
But now we wrestle with the term coronavirus denier, Keith.
Yeah, apparently more dangerous to the world than nuclear war.
This is the way that the left will play it.
All right, we're going to take a break.
A couple of more segments on this.
We're going to get it out of the way, and then we're going to really have some fun in hours two and three with Confederate History special guests, Paul Angel and Gene Andrews, who are all coming.
Much, much more.
Later.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA Radio News with Wendy King.
It will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week.
And there'll be a lot of death, unfortunately, but a lot less death than if this wasn't done.
But there will be death.
President Trump says the government will be adding thousands of military personnel to help states cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says China is sending help.
The Chinese government is going to facilitate a donation of 1,000 ventilators that will come into JFK today.
Oregon is also sending some ventilators.
Florida is getting hit hard.
Gregory Tony is the sheriff of Broward County.
It should be reminders to this community about the importance behind the warnings that are being presented out at the both national, state, and localized level.
That this is the time that we want our communities to keep themselves in isolation.
This is USA Radio News.
Balance of Nature, changing the world one life at a time.
Thank goodness for the balance of nature.
It just keeps me strong and healthy, and I don't have any aches and pain.
I've taken so many supplements and all the different things they promise, and I'm like, I don't feel anything.
I don't feel anything.
You know, vitamins, protein powders, whey proteins, all this stuff that says it's going to do what it's going to do.
But the balance of nature exceeded my expectations.
I cannot believe how it has affected everything.
So I am completely grateful for it.

JetBlue, United, and Delta Airlines say they're providing free airfare to all medical professionals who are willing to help out in hotspots like New York, Detroit, and New Orleans, which still has the highest coronavirus death rate of all the hard-hit U.S. cities, including New York.
32 fatalities per 100,000 residents.
That is actually double that of New York City.
Louisiana Congressman Steve Scales, the House Minority Whip, told Fox.
We've been working with the president all the way down through FEMA.
Talked to the FEMA administrator at the beginning of this week, and they assured us they were going to get more PPEs and ventilators down to New Orleans, and they have.
They've gotten it through the state's Office of Emergency Preparedness.
New Orleans is said to be running out of ventilators by Sunday.
One cruise ship has docked in Miami.
The Coral Princess has at least a dozen people who've tested positive for the virus.
Thousands are on board.
So far, two people have died.
You're listening to USA Radio News.
No other men have held her.
Her heart belongs to me.
You've traveled down some dusty roads, slept out in the rain.
But this yellow rose is always here when you come home again.
She knows I've done some hard times.
You stumbled and you fell.
I just kept your pride from dying.
Yellow Rose of Texas, Keith.
Sam Dixon once said something that's so true.
He can travel from Alexandria, Virginia to Corpus Christi, Texas, and never leave home.
That's the South, and we appreciate our listeners.
We could rattle off all the Confederate states pretty quickly, but if you live in the South, we love you.
If you live outside the South, we love you.
There are states that are really part of Dixie that were not part of the Confederacy, too.
Like Oklahoma, for example.
That's true.
Now, let's get back to the matter at hand.
Somebody was saying, well, you're a coronavirus denier.
Do you think that all these businesses would just willingly shut down?
Well, number one, they didn't all willingly shut down.
I mean, a lot of these state lockdown orders didn't even come until the past few days.
But for the ones that did prior to that, the ones that did voluntarily, I think it's very similar to the reason Corporate America incorporated the diversity as our greatest strength mantra against all these affirmative action hires.
Against people that are unqualified for the positions they're put in.
That's what happened.
You know, GM and Ford both almost went bankrupt by putting black guys in charge of their businesses, and so did Merrill Lynch and stuff like this.
So yes, they will do that.
These things would make no sense economically in order to appease the gods of political correctness.
That's 100% right.
They knew they would get that.
That's how it correlates.
I mean, how does what you're talking about correlate with businesses preemptively shutting down without a lockdown order to the supposed coronavirus?
Anything except politically incorrect or racist?
It goes against all data and logic.
Okay.
So they incorporated the diversity as our greatest strength mantra and affirmative action and all this against all data and logic.
And they did the same thing here because they wanted to avoid bad press.
They wanted to avoid being targeted and singled out because so many people are weak.
People are afraid to death of the R word.
They're also afraid to death of being considered politically incorrect.
Or a coronavirus.
If you want to destroy your career in corporate America today, just have one of those adjectives attached to your name.
Well, here's what it is.
It comes down to this.
You want to keep your business open?
What, you don't think 6 million Jews died in World War II?
I mean, they're correlating that by calling people coronavirus analysis.
All right.
But here's another.
Let's get back to the media's coverage of this.
I read a New York Times article that said the virus is bulldozing everyone in its path.
What the hell are they talking about?
It kills less than 2% of the people in effects.
How is that?
Would you consider that to be bulldozing everyone?
I'll tell you what, bulldozing is going on.
You're going to be bulldozed if you are in the least bit skeptical about the wisdom of all of these shutdowns as opposed to trying to do something to keep our economy on track.
Well, here's another headline, Keith.
Actually, this is a sentence from an article attacking Liberty University.
So Jerry Faldwell Jr. wanted to reopen college.
And they wrote that, listen to this.
This is the media, folks.
This is our unbiased media here.
Which, again, is all speaking with one voice, as they always do.
On any issue of importance, they all speak with one voice.
Not one of them has a dissenting opinion on this.
But this is what they say.
Liberty University, which partly reopened its campus amid the coronavirus pandemic, confirmed now that they have, listen to this, folks, almost a dozen students sick with potential COVID-19 symptoms.
So what that means is Liberty University went back to school this week, and out of their student body, a dozen kids on that campus are sick.
With potential symptoms, which means they have a cough, a fever, or a runny nose.
They don't know anything.
They don't know they've got to do that.
What about flu?
You know, how many kids would 12 people out of that entire student body coming down with flu be a cause for a condition red alert?
Well, and just in case anyone was thinking about taking this stuff all too seriously, you know, here in Memphis and Tennessee, they had to issue a lockdown order because nobody was staying at home under the stay-at-home, safer-at-home order.
Traffic hasn't subsided.
So it's a lockdown now.
Well, I've got an idea.
But I got to tell you, Keith, Keith, but why would traffic slow down when everything is still open?
They say that only not only essential businesses are open.
And that includes the essential liquor store.
All liquor stores in Tennessee are still open because you have so many alcoholics who would die if they couldn't get a truth.
The liquor store, you go around the corner from this studio tonight.
The liquor store is open.
I saw it.
The essential GameStop is open for gamers.
My brother was driving down a road near a GameStop outlet, and he said the line, you couldn't go in, and they were doing drive-through orders for the latest video game.
GameStop, they sell video games for gamers, computer games.
And he said the line stretched from the GameStop past the fire station.
Now, I know what part of town he lives in.
That's like two miles.
Two miles because a new game had been released.
So the essential GameStop is open.
The essential liquor store is open.
The essential abortion clinic is open.
But churches have been ordered to shut.
Now, let me ask you this.
If you're about to get the coronavirus, let's just say it kills you because it does kill some people.
Would you rather have that last bottle of whiskey?
Or would you rather be able to go to church and find salvation in Jesus Christ before you die and go to hell?
Would you like to go to heaven or hell?
So what is more essential?
A church or a liquor store or a gaming store?
Well, a liquor church.
Yeah, there's some guy in Florida, a pastor, who got arrested for having church last week.
Well, you know, Bellevue was the, you know, Bellevue, God knows, they weren't going to take any heat.
They closed down even before the order.
Oh, yeah.
And for example, look at all the other public health crises that they could have.
What if they, you know, they have a lot higher rate of venereal disease in Memphis and they have COVID infection.
What if they shut down everything because everybody was alarmed about the level of venereal disease in Memphis or in America.
Well, they don't care about life.
Look, for all these people, these frauds in the media, they care about life.
They want to protect you.
These people hate you.
They have always hated you.
The government hates you.
They want you to die.
So anybody that's swallowing the narrative hook line and sinker, yes, there's a disease.
We're not denying that.
You suffer from unemployment because of this overreaction.
You had it coming, folks.
Well, and they will have no sympathy whatsoever for you under those.
You know, they don't care about the tens of millions of babies who have been murdered in their wounds, but they want you to survive this because they love and care about you so much.
The power went out in the studio the last 30 minutes of last week's show.
So I was flying blind.
I was on a cell phone.
It sounded like hell.
I listened to the replay.
It was embarrassing.
But anyway, I was going to quote the president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko.
He said, COVID-19 panic is psychosis.
This is the president of Belarus.
He said, there's no need to stop normal daily life.
Do physical work in the fields or outdoors.
Have a glass of vodka at lunch and you'll be fine.
Well, maybe you would need the essential liquor store to be open to do that.
It's just so ridiculous, the variation between the response to coronavirus versus the response to flu to the response to venereal disease or HIV and things like this.
You know, some things you are not supposed to notice, if you're politically correct.
Other things you are supposed to not only be aware of, you have to make it the sum and substance of your life, like coronavirus.
And it's time for the people of America to say, enough of this BS.
Let's basically save our economy.
Let's not let us, you know, make a tempest in a teapot out of coronavirus.
If things are as bad as they could possibly be, there will not be 1% of the U.S. population killed by this.
In fact, I doubt if there will be two-tenths of 1% killed by this.
And you do not throw the entire nation into poverty under those circumstances in order to try to limit that from two-tenths of 1% to 1 tenth of 1%, for example.
Well, I've tried to believe this.
Believe me, I think all of us should be introspective.
And we should ask ourselves, you know, we should try to see it the other way.
I have done that in my fight for our people.
You know, I've said, am I wrong to believe that whites should be able to survive and have a nation?
And of course, I always come back to my position.
But I have tried to see things from the other side, to be introspective.
And I have on this as well.
But the numbers are just not impressive enough to warrant this insane overreaction with the economy, with these businesses, with this tens of millions unemployed.
They're not coming back from this.
And I don't know why so many on the right are unwilling to ask questions about this narrative in particular.
And we'll get to that in the next segment.
But I'll tell you what I did this week.
The beaches may be closed, but the mountains aren't.
We went over and visited a friend in East Tennessee and my wife and my children.
We had some sunshine and fresh air and we got in a river and we climbed a mountain and we forgot about the absurdities for a few days.
Get back to the basics, folks.
That's what James and his family did.
That's what we need to do.
and turn off the talking heads of MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
It's just amazing to see people that we know and love in our ranks following these mainstream media articles about the current situation and considering them to be gospel.
Anyway, yes, socialists overnight, that's for sure.
Anyway, we'll be right back, folks.
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.

She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart.
And if I ever find her, we never move apart.
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever used.
Her eyes are bright as diamonds.
Well, you know, we had to play two versions of Yellow Rose of Texas to find the one that Keith actually wanted.
Anyway, there's not a good, there's not a bad version of Dixie, nor is there a bad version of the Yellow Rose of Texas.
We like Yellow Roses in Texas, don't we, Keith?
Yep.
I think it's a stirring martial piece of music.
Okay, Keith, I've got two relatively lengthy excerpts to read.
So we're going to take one and then the other and let you respond to them.
So this came in from a friend of mine.
I'm on a private email chat group.
There's about five of us on there.
And he sent this today, and it's pretty interesting.
So let me read it and then respond.
And I got another thing, also respond.
How many will die from or with coronavirus?
I read predictions by credentialed health authorities, my friend writes, that 70 to 80% of all Americans will eventually get the virus.
Without some kind of random sampling, we have no idea what the actual infection rate is.
I anticipate that, though, that the death rate will drop as we learn more about how to treat the disease.
Also, you have to take into account, of course, all the people who have already had it and didn't know that they had it.
And I think that's a kind of spurious inquiry anyway, because they say that you can have the coronavirus and not even know what it is.
Well, that's why he thinks that the death rate isn't 2%, but more about 0.6%.
But if 70% of all Americans get it and 6%, excuse me, 0.6% die from it, that's still going to be over a million deaths.
But it's possible and even likely that...
And a million deaths would be one-third of 1% of the American population.
Now, does shutting down the economy work as a deterrent?
I don't think so.
All we're doing is kicking the can down the road.
We're stretching out the deaths.
Very few lives will be saved by extending the deaths over a five or six months.
But we are going to hasten the death of the American economy by doing it.
Let's go to he brought that up, too.
We're preventing herd immunity.
Here's the economic price that my friend writes about.
We're entering into a shocking financial collapse.
There seems to be insufficient attention to this cost by the media and political so-called leaders.
In two weeks, we talked about this a moment ago, 10 million people in two weeks have fought for unemployment.
Many people trying to apply have been not able to do so because the system has crashed repeatedly due to being swamped.
We've never, never had a financial collapse in economic history like this one.
The impact of this is instantaneous.
Bingo, 10 million unemployed.
In two weeks, in the Great Depression, it took years for the economic suffering to really set in.
We're facing the financial ruin for middle America.
Tens of millions of families losing their houses.
A generation unable to afford college.
Pensions wiped out.
Is it worth paying this price to save the lives of even a million mostly sick people whom have shortened life expectancies?
My friend writes that even he falls into this at-risk category, but he doesn't think it's worth it even to save his own life and certainly not worth the price to save 200,000, which is Dr. Fossey's top number, the media-designated specialist on all things coronavirus.
I don't relish the idea of people dying, he writes, but despite hysterically exaggerated female chatter about the sanctity of human life, there is an opportunistic exploitation by the system as opposed to conspiracy.
Just because there was no conspiracy doesn't mean the system is not ready to make the most of this crisis.
That's what we've been saying for about a month now.
This is something interesting.
Productive capital, as usual, will bear most of the losses.
And what he means by productive capital is stores, restaurants, factories, etc.
That's mostly white Christian or WASP industries.
The financial capital will make colossal profits, as it did in the Great Depression.
Financial capital is where other people throw suspects.
As is what happened in the Great Depression and the Great Recession, in which Roosevelt's class and his Jewish handlers were able to foreclose on America and increase their wealth many times over.
We will see a colossal transfer of wealth from the actually productive people, the capital that makes the products and delivers the services, to the gnomes on Wall Street clutching their phallic stocks and bonds.
Look, what then they talk about this as a pandemic.
A pandemic, folks, was like the bubonic plague or the black death that killed anywhere from one-third to two-thirds of the population of all the nations that it went through back in the Middle Ages.
That is not what we're facing with the coronavirus.
The coronavirus, when compared to that, is a tempest in a teapot, and it's certainly not worth wrecking our economy and throwing Americans into poverty so that they'll lose their homes, they'll lose their jobs, they'll lose their livelihoods.
Marriages will break up because of this.
The consequences of an economic depression, I think, are much greater than the potential life and death prospects of the coronavirus based on what we know about it at this time.
Now, there's one more thing that came out this week.
It's particularly harsh, but it should be read.
Now, this is what a man writing under the name of Tony Martell published at Occidental Dissent, which runs very contrary to Brad Griffin's commentary on this.
He and Brad are basically having a debate about how serious or unserious should we take the coronavirus.
Well, tell me if you agree or disagree with this, Keith, from your personal position.
This is what he writes, and I'm only going to read a couple of excerpts from it.
I can no longer silently watch the joke that former members of the alt-right are proving themselves to be.
For years, you've criticized the media.
They've lied about you.
They've edited your interviews to make you look bad.
They've covered up stories that prove your points.
Never once have you come across an instance where they have told the truth until now.
Suddenly, you're lapping up everything they release like a kid with a pint of ice cream.
All the numbers they report are correct.
None of the reports are being taken out of context.
They're not trying to create a panic in society.
They're doing their sworn journalistic duty, and you're not questioning a single bit of it.
Pathetic.
It's not only the media that suddenly has your undivided attention.
The scientists do as well.
The same scientists that for a century have asserted that race doesn't exist.
And more recently are saying the same about biological sex.
Homosexuality is just as natural as heterosexuality.
Let's not forget how the polar ice cap should be gone by now due to global warming.
Projection based on those kinds of models are now predicting a current year black death.
One little bug from some Chinese scad hole, as he put it, turned you from bravely questioning their every word to cowardly hanging on them.
Pathetic.
Crisis reveals character.
The leaders and thinkers of the dissident right have revealed themselves to be gullible, womanish, and cowardly.
You spun on a dime from denouncing the media and corrupt scientists to obeying them when they scared you with a new respiratory illness.
You will never have the courage to stand up to the system.
All they have to do is tell you you'll get sick and you'll call the whole thing off.
Then you'll lambast those who say they feel fine and that they aren't as concerned as you.
And you have shown yourselves to be not only economically illiterate, but unwise in how to foresee the future.
You're not fit to lead anything.
I would say go home, but you're already there.
Well, I talked about people having slob jobs before.
That's where you're an employee rather than self-employed.
If you are an employee, then you really don't have the choice.
The choice is being made for you by your employers.
Well, if they put you off of the payroll or if they put, you know, demand that you stay isolated at home, sheltering in place, they call it now.
This is a perfect opportunity to try to develop your own business, folks.
And if you want to be independent, like Thomas Jefferson said, it was imperative that we have a nation of small farmers because you cannot be philosophically and politically independent when you're economically dependent.
Use this as an opportunity to start trying to begin some type of side hustle, as they say nowadays, for yourself to protect yourself and your family from economic disasters.
You know, we have all kinds of people who listen to this show, doctors, lawyers, blue-collar workers, everything in between, including actors and very accomplished and celebrated actors.
And one of those listeners wrote this to me very interesting just this week.
And this is what he wrote.
Ever since China opened up to touring companies of Western shows, performers who audition for those tours have been warned that if they have bronchial problems or underlying health problems, they should not audition.
The streets and air of China are too risky for them, and the producers won't be able to insure them.
And those actors who do not accept the work, excuse me, those actors who do accept the work are assured that they will be housed in Western hotels with access to Western food.
I know actors who have toured China and say that the air and the streets are so filthy that they rarely leave their hotel.
Chinese spit everywhere.
So they spend months in prison in the cycle of hotel, bus, theater, and back again.
So, yeah, there's a virus out there, and we're susceptible to it, and it's particularly easy to spread.
Death rate of 2% or less.
But I really found that fascinating, what this podcast is.
I was going to China for a vacation.
Well, what he wrote, I mean, because this is the perspective we get.
We're so thankful to have people in different industries and different professions that are able to offer us inside takes and behind the scenes stake.
I think people would be absolutely shocked at the number of people that listen.
Not just the number of people, but the number of people from so varied walks of life that are TPC fans and listeners.
And we're thankful for them.
And I thought that was just fascinating.
That take on that this has been common knowledge in China that this stuff is alive and well there.
Have you seen that variation on the Gadson flag?
You know, the snake in different sections says, don't step on me.
They've got one now, a yellow background with a bat on it saying, don't snack on me.
I see that.
Corona Chan, as they're calling it, as the kids call it.
Well, anyway, hey, that's out of the way.
Let's celebrate Confederate History Month.
Confederate History Month officially begins in about eight minutes.
