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.
Thank you very much, staff announcer Art Griff.
Always good to hear your voice for those of you who can't hear.
Good evening.
Good evening, my friends.
One and all.
Welcome to tonight's up test of the Political Cesspool.
And thank you for joining us.
Obviously, I am not James Edwards, but rather I am Winston Smith, and I'll be at the helm of the CSS Cesspool for the first two hours.
And James will take over for the third hour of our little broadcast tonight.
In hour one, I'll report and comment on some news items.
And in hour two, I'll welcome Political Cesspool fan favorite Reverend Brett McAtee.
And he'll talk about this wretched masking of America and how it contravenes muscular Christianity.
Did you know your Christianity can be muscular?
It can be.
Stick around and find out how.
And should time allow, we will also consider the connection between self-government and limiting tyranny as a Christian motif.
It's been a long while since I was last called upon to man the air chair and help me along are two people who are endowed with clear minds, steady nerves, and pure hearts, all of which are required to do this kind of thing.
I am, of course, describing the gracious and talented Stephanie, who will again be my ears, and the inimitable Sam Bushman serving as producer.
By the way, Sam will join James on the air during the third hour.
You don't want to miss that.
So let's cast off the last line and get this cruise underway.
And I have been told that we have a caller.
I have not had a caller in I don't know how long, but we do have a caller, Kevin from South Carolina.
Let's welcome him.
Kevin, you're in the political cesspool with Quincy Smith.
Hey, how you doing?
Yeah, normally while I was expecting James and Keith to be on the air, actually, I wanted to give a shout out to Keith.
He had mentioned something in the last couple programs.
Something, I don't know if you've been listening, but he referred to it as the Passover syndrome, referring to whites who tow the Marxist line in the hopes that they'll avoid punishment in the near future as conditions worsen.
Yeah, I've been reading things about that myself.
And what these people need to remember is that revolutions and overturnings typically tend to eat their own in the end.
We see some of it happening now with some Democrats being castigated and ridiculed and almost remote from other Democrats.
But in the end, these silly white people who think that they're going to garner some kind of favor with their enemies, they're going to find out that they are just dead wrong.
And I use the word dead wrong very seriously.
Well, that's what I wanted to say.
I mean, I truly believe today, I mean, most white leftists, they don't really believe all that stupidity, you know, that they learn in college and, you know, wherever else.
I mean, I think they're just scared and selfish, you know, more than anything else.
They know that if they want to keep their career and sleep well at night, that they're better off following the leader.
And I mean, they know who's behind the curtain now, and they know how malevolent the Jew is, but they don't realize no matter how far you bend over backwards, it's never enough.
James is, I mean, he called it the please eat me last mentality.
And I mean, as bad as conditions are, people are still comfortable right now for the most part.
You know, I mean, it hasn't gotten bad enough, but I guess that brings me to a question.
Do you think it's better?
We're actually better off if Trump loses in November.
I mean, so many people are desperate to hang on for four more years of relative peace and freedom.
I mean, all he's doing really is delaying the inevitable.
I mean, most people just want to hit the snooze button again.
I mean, that being said, do you think it's we're actually better off if he loses, which will force conservatives to realize finally that voting isn't going to save the country.
What do you think of that?
I don't know, Kevin, that that's a good strategy because if the Democrats take the White House, you know, they will have the executive and one branch of the legislative in their hip pockets.
And you do not want Democrats in power at all.
We have the House of Representatives, which is not just Democrat, but it is radical Democrat.
It is market.
And, you know, we see what they're doing.
We don't want any more of that.
So I'm not a Trump guy, but what I am is an America guy.
And America does not need more Democrats.
No, I know what you mean.
It's just though, but I mean, I mean, things, the way things have been going the last four years, though, or three, whatever, since Trump became president, I mean, things have never been worse.
I mean, as far as social conditions, I mean, the last couple of months, I mean, I don't think it would have made much difference whether Hillary Clinton was in the White House.
I mean, I just think it's, I just think he's false hope.
I mean, like I said, I mean, I don't think really any amount of voting is going to change anything.
You know, I just think people they like to think that, you know, that it's a remedy that everyone keeps talking on conservative sites about how important it is to vote the next election, this and that.
I mean, they don't realize, though, it's just, I mean, it's, I mean, third world Marxism in this country, it's inevitable.
It's practically here already.
Well, it's not practically here, Kevin.
It is here.
You know, someone once said that if voting could change anything, it'd be made illegal.
It'd be illegal.
Yeah.
But I have to disagree on your premise that had Doss Hagg, Hillary, won the election, then the same thing would have happened.
All this is happening now precisely because she didn't win.
You saw the first few days after Trump was inaugurated and even the day of his inauguration, you saw these same Marxist socialist leftist Democrats.
They're all the same.
You saw them acting like fools in the street.
They destroyed part of downtown Washington, D.C.
So everything that is happening now is happening because Hillary did not win.
And, you know, you alluded to this earlier.
If Trump does win again, what are they going to do to top what they did earlier?
I think it's going to get very messy and it's going to get very bloody.
And you're right, people are comfortable because there hasn't been a lot of bloodshed yet.
But I think it's coming.
Oh, I do too.
I mean, like I said, though, I just, I mean, I don't know.
That's just a theory I've had, though.
I mean, people have talked about it for 20, 25 years or more, you know, that, like I said, you're better off actually with a Democrat in office because dissident movements fare better.
I mean, more people, when you have a Trump or a Reagan in office, people seem to think that, you know, their strategy of voting, that it worked.
And of course, it really hasn't, but, you know, it gives you that illusion.
I mean, that's all I wanted to point out, really, you know.
All right.
Well, look, thank you very much for the call.
I appreciate it.
Don't be a stranger.
Thanks.
All right, folks, that was Kevin from South Dakota.
That was a good call, I think.
And I thank Kevin for that.
Anybody else want to chime in?
You certainly can.
I'll be glad to talk with you.
For now, we have to go to a break.
Standby, folks.
We'll be back in a few minutes.

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.
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?

It's time to jump back into the political cesspool to be part of the show and have your voice heard around the world.
Call us at 1-866-986-6397.
Welcome back, my friends.
Welcome back to tonight's broadcast of the Political Cesspool.
Right after that, we got started really well with a caller, Kevin, from South Dakota.
And I've invited all of you to call in, but I didn't give his number.
And I'm going to do that now.
The number to call, if you want to get in on the show, is 866-986-6397.
That's 866-986-6397.
Or you can remember it this way: 866-986-News.
So if you have a hankering to talk with Winston Smith, I'm right here waiting for you.
All right, I have a news item here.
Headline says, Congressman introduces a bill that would have Democratic Party change name or, quote, be barred from participation in the House due to past support of slavery in the Confederacy.
Representative Louis Gomert, Republican of Texas, introduced the bill Thursday on the floor of the House of Representatives that would ban the Democratic Party due to the party's history of having supported slavery and the Confederacy, saying that, quote, that standard is that is the standard to which they are holding everyone else.
So the name change needs to occur.
And I have to agree with him.
The Democrats are, well, the Democrats, their thugs are demanding changes to the culture based upon associations with things that have not existed for 150 or 160 years.
And if they're going to, if they're going to force that on everyone else, then they need to at least have some modicum of consistency and abide by their own rules.
But, you know, Democrats today, they are not concerned one whit about being honorable.
They're not concerned one whit about being consistent.
They are concerned with one thing and one thing only, and that is getting power any way they can.
And that's what they're going to pursue.
They're not worried about what you think of them being honest or dishonest.
They are concerned with getting power, nothing else.
Here's what Representative Gomert's resolution says.
Whereas on June 18, 2020, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ordered the removal from the Capitol portraits of four previous speakers of the House who served in the Confederacy, saying that these portraits, quote, set back our nation's work to confront and combat bigotry.
Now, I didn't know that that was our work to confront and combat bigotry.
I don't see that in the Constitution anywhere, but what do Democrats care about the Constitution, eh?
Okay, Gomert continued saying the men depicted in the portraits were Democrat Robert Hunter, Democrat Howell Cobb, Democrat James Orr, and Democrat Charles F. Crisp.
All right, folks, we'll get more, we'll get more on this in a few minutes.
We have a call, Patrick from Texas.
Patrick, you're on the political says pool with Winston Smith.
Welcome, my friend.
Hello.
Alan, this is our last call talking about the Dad was his worst, you know, the, you know, deal with it now or try to put it off.
But I'm totally shocked, as much as I pay attention to talk radio all the time, that I had no idea that during the Civil War that the control of the media was so complete that they were to, they actually, when Nation Becker Forrest had the KKK, when Barbara Lee gave him control of the Klan, it was more of a policing action to control all the carpetbaggers.
And he had to shut it down within 18 months because of the bad press was so terrible.
They used it like they did like white racism or no Nazis, no KKK.
They just beat it to death.
He was forced just because of the media to shut down this very successful policing action.
And it turned out that what they had to do is they had to go underground, you know, to still say that was the most effective and remained to be effective.
When somebody was violating everybody's rights, they would show up in mass outside their door, you know, and they would get the idea that there's people watching, but it was all underground.
But they're dealing with a media force that's so complete.
And that's all people see and know is what's in print.
But, you know, we're still fighting the same thing, but it's not known.
All we get is in schools is all the, you know, it was all about slavery and so on and so forth.
And that's all we ever get.
We never get to see the other side of how the bankers bought the presidency, you know, just swamped everybody and brought this communist in from Illinois.
And even Judge Adam de Palatana called him a tyrant because he was.
He broke out every constitutional law there was.
And we, you know, this fight has been here all along.
We've not been allowed to see who it is we're fighting.
And the whole narrative has flipped.
But it's been here all along.
It's the same people.
It's the same control mechanism.
And back to you, sir.
Well, Patrick, you make some excellent points.
Your understanding of the early days of the Klan are essentially my understanding of it as well.
You mentioned the media beating the Klan to death, just like they do everything today that they disagree with.
But that's part of losing a war.
You know, the victor gets to write the history books, and they are not going to be kind to the vanquished.
It's a strong inducement to win a war if you're going to go into it.
But we know that the Northerners had control of all the media.
The South was not a media haven, if you will.
The South was an agricultural society, and the media just didn't play a big part in their lives.
But you're absolutely right.
The media is an awful force today.
And it would be nice if we had something to counter that.
I mean, we're the political sales pool, but we don't have nearly the budget that the big networks do, and we don't have the reach.
We do what we can.
And, you know, maybe we are not the ones who can reach the millions, but maybe we can inspire the one who can reach the millions.
And that's what we're doing.
And that's what you should do, too.
Just do what you can and spread the word and live the life.
Maybe someone who can affect some great change in our, in our, in our, to our benefit, will grab onto that and run with it.
Yeah, it's good to know the history.
That's what you've been denied.
We have no idea of what this reconstruction was.
You know, it was basically they ran out all of the state houses in all the states, not just the ones that participated in the war.
All of them, they did it by design because they wanted to create what they call a de facto government.
And so they did.
They did it.
It's all on paper.
And, you know, they don't realize it's going on.
We are a corpocracy.
Everything is run by like a corporation right now.
Whenever you had to, they had to submit a state plan.
And in the state plan, you had to have a collusion between all of the different, the police departments, the city hall, the judges, courts.
They all had to have what he calls a state plan.
It was all in a corporate sense.
And they get paid by the federal government in block grants.
It's all by contract.
Once you take that block grant, it's contractual and you cannot back out.
And that's not the way our government is supposed to work.
So they did Lincoln.
Lincoln did that in the Act of 1971.
But just like 9-11, that was on the planning board way before they pulled the trigger.
And the Hatriot Act.
We got to get a break right now.
Thank you for calling.
I'm not going to say it, but I'm not going to say it.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA Radio News with John Hunt.
The most violent protest in the country continued throughout the night in Portland, Oregon, as fireworks were shot into the federal courthouse, causing fires.
Thousands upon thousands of people gathered in Portland streets hours after a U.S. judge denied Oregon's request to restrict federal agents' actions.
Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf also stated that the troops are not there by executive order.
Individuals that are in Portland are acting under FPS authority.
Department of Homeland Security authority doesn't have anything to do with an executive order.
This is existing authority that has been on the books for decades.
That is the authority they're using to go in and protect a federal facility.
FPS protects almost 9,000 facilities around the country.
There's no other facility that has this type of violent activity night after night after night.
Federal Protective Service officers declared the gathering as an unlawful assembly and cited that at least 18 officers had been injured.
This is USA Radio News.
This is good news.
Maybe exactly when you need it to.

Tropical Storm Hannah has been officially upgraded to a hurricane moving toward the Texas coast and threatening to bring 8 to 18 inches of rain, storm surges, and possible tornadoes, all while another tropical storm approaches the Caribbean.
Hannah is the first official hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, and the National Hurricane Center said in their morning update: maximum sustained winds had increased to over 85 miles an hour.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Gonzalo is still on track to move across the southern Windward Islands.
ICE officials announced that international students who plan to solely enroll in online classes this fall will be barred from entering the country.
The announcement came as the U.S. topped 4 million coronavirus cases and colleges and universities are rolling out plans to shift to online learning for the fall semester.
The department also mandated that designated school officials are not to provide new international students with an I-20 form that declares their legal student status.
This is USA Radio News.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Guy at 1-866-986-6397.
What are you back, my friends?
Welcome back to tonight's broadcast of the Political Festival.
My thanks to Patrick Prospectus for taking the time to call in.
Good call.
One thing I like about the political set school audience is they know a lot about a lot.
They don't just believe what they're told, but they study issues and they learn.
And that's something that you don't see on the left.
When the left studies anything, they study it to be able to argue and lie.
The left looks for talking points.
They don't look for facts.
They don't look for analysis.
They want talking points.
They want to be told what they can say.
They want to be told what they can say when they encounter one of our arguments.
And, you know, they have a tough time going up against folks like the Seth School audience because the Seth School audience studies and they read and they think.
Something in short supply these days.
All right.
Getting back to our story about Representative Louis Gohmert and his resolution to force the Democrats to change their name because the Democrat Party has such a vile association with things that are today considered absolutely verboten.
It doesn't matter that nobody was ever offended by anything related to the Confederacy until very recently.
I mean, since Reconstruction, the Confederate soldiers, Confederate statesmen, have been honored by many Northerners.
When Raphael Sims, he was the captain of a Confederate ship, a very successful Confederate ship.
He was eventually captured and he was put on trial.
And many, many Northern sea captains came to his defense and pointed out to the court that Captain Sims was a true gentleman and a true exemplar of a naval officer.
So what we're seeing today is a very recent vintage.
The hatred of all things Southern hatred of all things Confederate.
It's very recent.
And, you know, God help us that we can kind of nip it in the bud, as Barney Fife used to say, and cut off the head of this serpent before it gets wrapped around us too tightly.
All right.
Louis Gomer, he continues with his resolution, resolved that the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall remove any item that names, symbolizes, or mentions any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery or the Confederacy from any area in the housing of the Capitol.
He's telling the Democrats that you're going, you have to take, you take, remove all of these Confederate busts, these Confederate statues, these Confederate documents, because you think they are so terrible.
And by the way, since your name is associated with all that, it's time for you to change your name.
He continues in the tweet: the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party's loathsome and bigoted past and consider changing their party name to something that isn't so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow and the KKK.
Hashtag cancel Democrats.
Now, as I said earlier, I don't believe what Representative Gomert is saying about the South and about our gallant flyers.
I don't believe any of it.
I do think that what he's doing is trolling.
I mentioned that he's trying to get the Democrats to try to explain themselves because he's got them dead to rights.
They're the Democrat Party and they were involved in everything that they today deem vile and so repugnant that it has to be removed from the public square.
And, you know, somebody might see the name Democrat and that's going to trigger them.
They need to change their name before somebody really goes off on them and starts demanding not just they change the name, but demand that they dismantle.
But again, I don't think the South or Southerners have anything to apologize for, not even for being Democrat.
I know what Representative Gober is doing, and the Southerners have nothing to apologize for because Democrats in the antebellum South and Democrats during the war years and Democrats during Reconstruction were nothing like Democrats today.
Democrats during the John Kennedy years were nothing like Democrats today.
In fact, JFK could not be a Democrat today.
They drive him out of the party.
Now, this transfer of the mantle of racism from Democrats to Republicans is one of the most breathtakingly political sleights of hand that I've ever witnessed.
Consider this.
Who killed Lincoln?
A Democrat.
It's kind of ironic that Lincoln is credited with freeing slaves.
And just last week or the week before, he was called a racist by Black Lives Matter.
Who killed JFK?
A Democrat.
Who killed Martin Luther King Jr.?
A Democrat.
Who lynched blacks?
Democrats.
Who owned slaves?
Democrats.
Who created Jim Crow?
Democrats.
Who instituted segregation?
Democrats.
Who started the Japanese internment camps during World War II?
Democrats.
Who's considered racist?
Republicans.
How did that happen?
All right, we have another caller, Randy from Randy.
Can you tell us where you're from?
Yes, I live in Mississippi.
Ah, Mississippi.
All right, excellent.
Randy from Mississippi.
Mississippi, you are on the political cesspool.
Okay.
Hey, good evening, Winston.
Just wanted to talk to you a little bit about Major League Baseball and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Just to kind of tell you a little bit about me, I'm a longtime fan of the St. Louis Cardinals.
And the Cardinals, along with, I guess, most of the other teams in MLB, have gone down the Black Lives Matter road big time.
Yesterday, the Cardinals, for instance, had their opening opening game at Bush Stadium in St. Louis.
And basically, they all came out in Black Lives Matter t-shirts.
They apparently went down out to the Pitcher's Mound and then started an Eal.
And the Cardinals basically have a very conservative fan base.
Of course, the city of St. Louis is liberal and left-wing and Democratic, but most of the surrounding area is very conservative.
The Cardinals have one of the more conservative fan bases in baseball.
For instance, they have what they call Christian Family Day in St. Louis.
And several years ago, they had one of their previous players, Lance Berkman, that apparently gave a presentation.
And he apparently got in trouble with the gay rights crowd for something.
I can't remember exactly what it was.
But the Cardinals, and this was maybe five years ago, they did the right thing.
And they backed him and basically said, hey, he's a respected former player.
He has a right to his own opinion.
And, you know, that's kind of the way we deal with things.
And the Cardinals got, you know, got bad press in St. Louis as a result of that, of doing really the right thing.
But what happened, and just kind of use this as an example of slippage, a couple of years later, the Cardinals instituted, I think, what they call Gay Pride Day or something like that.
And very, very different from the conservative, family-oriented reputation that they previously had.
So they kind of justified that by claiming that they wanted to be welcoming and inclusive to everyone.
So it's kind of a slippage to what we're seeing today.
And the Cardinals, just to kind of tell you just a little bit about them, and I won't spend too much time on it, but the Cardinals, I think, rank 10th in baseball in payroll.
There are 30 teams in baseball, but they only rank, I think, like 22nd or 23rd in metro population.
So you would think, well, how could they rank in the top 10 in payroll and 22nd in population?
The reason why is because they have a very passionate fan base.
They historically draw at least 3 million fans, which is comparable to the number of fans that like the Yankees or the Dodgers or, you know, huge population-centered teams are able to draw.
So as a result of that, the Cardinals can have a higher payroll than they probably would otherwise.
But what's going to happen is that the Cardinals are going to lose fans en masse because St. Louis, the fan of the Cardinals is not going to be the same type of fan that maybe supports the Boston Red Sox or Seattle Mariners or some left-wing team like that.
So what's going to happen with them is that they're going to have less fans coming to their stadium.
And they're also going to lose TV revenue because people are not going to be watching Cardinal broadcasts as much.
And as a result of that, they're going to have less money to spend on team players.
And so as a result, they're going to be operating more like the Pittsburgh Pirates in the future than they are the, say, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
So what's going to happen, and it's really a good thing, and I say this because I'm a passionate fan or was a passionate fan of theirs, maybe is a better way of putting it.
I've been a fan of theirs for over 50 years.
And at this point, I will not watch their games or listen to their games or purchase any of their product or anything like that.
politically correct organizations need to be punished.
And I don't care whether you're a fan of it.
Oh, go ahead, I'm sorry.
So we have to.
Stephanie tells me that there's Mrs. Blaine meaning we have to go to a break.
Thank you very much for the call.
I'll comment on it when we come back.
Okay, not a problem.
How do you know your child loves you?
When he calls and he says, Dad, why don't we go fishing?
Just very simple, but it really counts.
Make a song up and they come into our bedroom and say, We made a song and will you listen to me?
Our next year's daughter came to me with tears in her eyes.
She said, Daddy, I just thank you for coming home every night when we were growing up.
My son does the nicest things.
When he's playing outside, he'll come in and just give me a hug and run right back outside.
My daughter goes to the same high school that I'm the registrar at.
And I'll go into my office after the bell has rung and there's a note on my desk.
And it'll usually say, Mom, I love you.
I'm thinking about you.
And I think of my boy that we finally got him through graduation.
And he came up to me and said, I made it.
Thanks.
Family.
Isn't it about time?
That's all I said.
And that meant everything to me.
From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I believe there will come a time when we are all judged on whether or not we took a stand in defense of all life from the moment of conception until our last natural breath.
As a teenager, I gave my first public speech in my church.
My hands shook, my heart pounded.
I thought to myself, I can't do this, but somehow I did.
And because I wanted to talk about things that were important, I persisted.
I chided my church as a senior in high school for not seeming to care about the not yet born, for looking the other way and for not taking a stand on life.
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.

Back to the next broadcast of the Political Festival.
I'm Winston Smith, sitting in for James Edwards.
I have no idea what he's doing tonight.
Sometimes I don't want to know what he's doing.
And believe me, neither do you.
Actually, I'm very sure it's all on the up and up and above board.
James is a very clean-cut guy, so he's not doing anything untoward.
He's not up to bad things, I assure you.
Folks, I'd like to take this minute to ask you to consider becoming a contributor, a regular contributor to this political stress poll.
We are on a shoestring budget.
We barely get by sometimes, but we do get by.
And if folks could just become regular contributors, you know, five bucks a month, that's not much.
And you can do it securely and safely and discreetly over our website.
Just go to www.thepoliticalspool.org and you'll see the contribute button.
But please consider it.
We could certainly use your help.
And, you know, we want to stay on the air as long as we can.
And we can't do it without you.
So give it a think and let us know.
All right.
Randy from Mississippi was talking about professional sports.
And I have my feelings on professional sports are not complicated at all.
I would be very happy if they all disappeared this evening, if they all just went away, precisely because we see things like players going out to the pitcher's mound, wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts and kneeling.
That's not why people go to baseball games.
It's not why they go to football games.
And that's why the sports are bleeding money.
They're hemorrhaging.
NASCAR is going to be hemorrhaging money.
I do not like professional sports at all because it's become not sports, but it's become political agenda in the guise of sports.
And we would be far better off without it.
These multi-millionaire players lecturing us about income disparity, income inequality.
It's ridiculous.
It is a farce.
And we don't need sports.
We can do better off without it.
Now, I will say that I do go to watch the minor league baseball team near where I live.
It's loads of fun.
It costs $5 for me to get in.
And the hot dogs and the sodas, they're all very inexpensive.
And it's good to watch these minor league sports, especially minor league baseball, because these are guys who want to break into the big leagues and they hustle.
So professional sports, no.
Local sports, absolutely.
I love local sports.
All right.
We're going to get away from Representative Gomert's attempt to get the Democrats to put their money where their mouths is, put their monies where their mouths are.
And I wish them luck with it.
It's going to be interesting.
I mean, it's not going to go anywhere in a Democrat-led House of Representatives, but it does cast a light on Democrat hypocrisy, you know, as if Democrats cared that you know they're hypocrites.
They know that we know they're hypocrites.
All right, let's talk about sleep.
We all have to sleep.
As I understand it, we don't even know why we have to sleep, but we do have to.
We know we die without it.
Well, did you know that sleep is for privileged white people?
It's true.
And there are some blacks who are calling for rest reparations.
Now, we get this from a magazine called Teen Vogue.
And let me tell you something about Teen Vogue.
It's a waste.
It's stupid.
Team Vogue's primary editorial thrust is telling teenagers how to have all manner of perverted sex.
That's really their big draw.
That's what they're interested in.
Teens having sex.
But they occasionally venture into the they venture into something a little more substantive, and this is not it, but we're going to talk about it anyhow.
They published an article alleging that sleep is indicative of systemic racism.
You know, that old devil's systemic racism is everywhere, especially where you least expect it, like in sleep, for example.
These actors are calling for rest reparations in the form of sabbaticals and time off from work and other strenuous activities, you know, because they're in dire need of another reason not to work.
The article is titled, Black Power Naps is Addressing Systemic Racism in Sleep.
And it's being pushed by an organization, it's a real organization.
It's called Black Power Naps Initiative, which alleges that African Americans typically have shorter lifespans when compared to their white peers.
And they're blaming it on a lack of sleep, not on the fact that Blacks typically eat poorly, that they typically smoke, that they typically kill each other in shootings in Chicago, that number way in the double digits.
You know, that's not why Black lifespans are so short.
It's because they're not getting enough sleep.
These Black Power Naps was created by writers Navilde Acosta and Fanny Sosa.
That name Acosta comes up frequently when things are being irritating and unpleasant.
You know, I don't know what is the name of Acosta, but maybe they need to change that name too.
But these two writers insist that Black lives are shorter than white lives because Blacks experience generational fatigue.
And they describe Black Power Naps as, quote, an artistic initiative with components including physical installations, zines, Z-I-N-E-S, an opera, and more.
I had to look up that silly looking neologism zines.
Apparently, it's an abbreviation for magazines.
And I suppose the reason it had to be abbreviated because the first four letters in magazine spell MAGA, as in make America great again.
And somebody has probably sufficiently triggered and declared that purging MAGA from speech is a thing.
So now we have zine, not magazines, but zine.
Continuing, writers Acosta and Sosa revealed that they experienced an epiphany.
They were always tired and realized that it was because they were impacted by, quote, hundreds of years of sleep deprivation that was due to systemic racism.
Now, folks, are you familiar with the generational trauma gene?
It's a theory that says the trauma experienced by one generation can change their DNA to the point that the effects of said trauma are passed along to future generations.
You can probably figure out what demographic started that theory.
And as I say the word demographic, I've got both hands waving in the air with the last three fingers of each hand forming the three parentheses around a word indicating that demographic.
So we can be pretty sure that they started this.
And in fact, I have seen articles about it.
But an example of this generational trauma gene, you have Holocaust survivors.
And the description of what they went through gets more horrendous every year.
I mean, a guy could have said decades ago that he hurt his ankle when he stepped into a small depression in the old extermination camp terrain.
And for years and years after, he retells the story, embellishing it each time so that today, sweet mother Sasquatch, it turns out the Nazis threw him in a pit and left him there for weeks with no food or water and no way to remove bodily waste.
Now the theory is that that trauma he passed on to his descendants and there's a corollary to that since the victims can transfer that trauma to their descendants, so can the victimizers.
So the cruelty faced by the victims at the hands of the victimizers, it can all be transferred to future generations.
Now, what does that mean?
I'll sum it up in two words, generational reparations.
And I've been positing that for years.
I thought that's where the Jewish version of it was going.
It hasn't got there yet, but I'm sure it's waiting in the wings.
But now these silly blacks are trying their sleep reparations, rest reparations, we see that it goes logically in that direction.
So what do they want?
These writers say black power naps is a recognition of the hundreds of years of sleep deprivation that blacks and people of color have experienced as a result of systemic racism, a way to push back against the false stereotype that black people are lazy and an investigation of the inequitable distribution of rest.
They also said we're dealing with an inheritance of sleep deprivation.
This writer complains.
She says sleep deprivation was a deliberate tactic of slave owners to basically make the mind feeble.
That same tactic has only evolved to fulfill this.
She says that they have to have space to do this.
So I don't know who's going to set it up, who's going to run them, but she says the dream space is a crucial space to make sense of your reality and properly process the violence that may be happening.
When we're not getting enough sleep we need, it's another front line, the place where we sleep.
This writer, Sosa, insisted that generations of slavery have made it imperative for black people and people of color to rest as much as they can in the following generations.
And they go on to say this, slavery is a regime of stealing and extracting.
Stolen wages, stolen lives, stolen land, and stolen time was one of the main things.
We need time.
We need time off.
We need time out, she said.
Our ancestors never got to take a month off for holidays.
They never got to take a sabbatical.
They never got to take a nap.
When you pile all those together, you see that reparations that need to happen are monetary, but they are also time and space.
So there it is, folks.
The trauma of not getting enough sleep for hundreds of years has been passed on to present generations of blacks and people of color.
Because when you think you couldn't get any more insane, it does.
Don't ever think there's things that you can't get more insane because people see that as a challenge.
Let's talk an hour.
It's time for a break.
We all have Reverend Brett McApee.
But don't go away.
There's more to come right here on the Liberty News Radio Network.
