You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
Well, ladies
and gentlemen, I'll tell you what.
It has been a year for the record books, and it keeps getting wilder and wilder.
If ever we thought we might go a week where there wouldn't be much to talk about, well, we never thought that.
But it isn't going to be this year.
Welcome to tonight's show.
It's Saturday evening, August the 29th.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
Keith Alexander, as always, on my wing.
And we've got another barn burner coming your way this evening.
So last week, of course, we talked very briefly about the Democratic National Convention.
Not a lot for our people to take any interest in there.
I think we know what's going on there.
We did have a pretty interesting, well, I would say a very interesting conversation about third-party activism with Dr. Greg Johnson of Countercurrents and Brad Griffin of Occidental Descent.
That was last week's show.
Tonight, we are going to be doing a very deep dive into the Republican National Convention, which, of course, was held this week, and a thorough assessment of Trump's chances for reelection with Sam Bushman in the second and third hours tonight.
In the first hour, though, again, as I say, the situation in America continues to get wilder and wilder.
It continues to deteriorate.
Another rash of riots.
This time, the epicenter of it all is Kenosha, Wisconsin.
And we have coming for you later this hour, this first hour, Dr. Kevin McDonald.
Now, Kevin McDonald, of course, almost synonymous for being a professor at California State University, Long Beach.
You think of him as a West Coast guy, and certainly he lived the majority of his life there, but he is a native of Wisconsin, and very close to Kenosha did he spend his boyhood in Oshkosh.
So Kevin's going to be with us to break down the unrest in his home state coming up in just a few minutes.
But Keith, that's what's coming up tonight.
What did you got to say?
I think we already have a caller on the line.
Well, Kenosha is, you know, if you've heard of Kenosha before, you probably heard of it in the Home Alone movies.
Remember John Candy and his polka band were the Kenosha kickers.
This is, you know, that type of society, you know, white bread as can be, apparently is now the epicenter of the Black Lives Matter movement.
That shows you what a crazy, mixed up world we're living in right now.
And as you said, you know, things just keep getting faster and faster every week.
You know, we're going to reach terminal velocity before long, but this is a year to end all years.
I mean, I've never seen until next year.
It's like a heavyweight fight.
It's the fight of the century until the next fight of the century.
Well, I've never seen in my, you know, years on this planet any type of social change and social movements and leftist craziness like I've seen this year.
I mean, I lived through 1968 and the days of rage in Chicago and the Chicago 7 and all of that.
That doesn't hold a candle to what we're going through right now.
Well, again, ladies and gentlemen, that's what is on the menu this evening.
We're going to be talking about the unrest in Wisconsin, what led to what happened there this week, and, of course, what led to the events that brought us the shooting by Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old boy.
We're going to be talking about that young man, I guess you would say.
And, of course, a deep dive into the GOP convention and Trump's chances for reelection and why we should care and what we should do.
Election Day isn't that much further out, ladies and gentlemen, as we enter in.
When we come back with you next Saturday, we'll already be into September.
Now, I didn't quite hear.
Do we have a caller on the line right now?
Okay, take it away, Patrick.
Yes, James, Keith, there's kind of a significant thing involving Ammon Bundy.
He got himself arrested there in the Idaho legislature.
And what happened was they were going to go up there and bring in protests against the governor's edicts.
And the Speaker of the House, the legislature, says, y'all can't sit there.
That's for credential media.
And they stood their ground.
They got arrested.
But there was a very intelligent guy, Kurt Pendergrass, that was there.
And he's called them all tyrants.
Each one of them, they called in the state Coopers to stand in there, and they were going to arrest everybody.
And he called them out, look, that's not your jurisdiction.
You are interstate commerce.
And Speaker of the House, you've got no rights.
It's the people's house.
You can't tell us, though.
And everybody stands on an equal plane, equal justice for all.
And so, yes, they did arrest Ammon Bundy, but they turned right around and the state marshals arrested the Speaker of the House.
And that's what happens when you know what your rights are.
And, you know, that's what we need.
We need the knowledge is power, and he demonstrated that.
And that's all I got.
Thank you for taking my call.
Hey, thanks for the call, Patrick.
I tell you, I haven't heard of a story where the Speaker of the House in any respective state has been arrested, but we certainly need to see a little more of that action.
I got a lot of, yeah, the criminals are all the elected officials.
Well, anyway, Keith, let's, I guess, well, let me start with this, I guess, very quickly, just to get this out of the way.
And then when we come back, we'll really get into the situation with Kenosha.
Then we'll bring Kevin McDonald on.
But the most laughable, transparent farce that I have perhaps ever seen in my life took place this week when the NBA players said they were going to go on strike because they were so upset that another black man was just gunned down in cold blood by a white police officer.
Their strike, so-called, lasted about 24 hours, and they folded like a cheap tent.
The media praised them for striking and giving up, you know, all of this.
They didn't give up anything.
The games got postponed for about 48 hours.
Now they're back to playing.
It was just a big joke.
But I saw Doc Rivers saying it's, what did Doc Rivers say?
I mean, you've got, you've, listen, this is a guy.
If there's anybody who has lived a privileged life, it's a guy like Doc Rivers.
He said, they're hanging us.
They're shooting us.
It's amazing to me why we keep loving this country when this country doesn't love us back.
Another NBA player said it's exhausting being black in this country.
Look, I hope they continue to press on like this because I think that the American people have just about had a belly full of privileged black athletes in the NBA, in the NFL, in Division I, football and basketball.
In Ole Miss, for example, this week, they had moved Silent Sam, the Confederate, you know, the ubiquitous Confederate symbol that you have at most of the town squares in the South, at least county seat towns.
They'd removed it to a cemetery.
And now, that's not good enough for the black athletes at Ole Miss.
They want it removed from Oxford altogether and probably want it blasted into outer space and get it out of the earth altogether.
And, you know, they're coming this close, very close to not having that great sinecure they have where they have all this money through professional sports and everything because they're about to fighter the whole thing.
Hey, I gotta say, it isn't enough.
What they did isn't enough.
The NBA players need to immediately retire en masse.
Their cause deserves more than these hashes.
I want them to be all out of work.
We gotta take a break.
We gotta take a break.
We'll be right back.
Okay, girls, about finished with your lesson on money.
Daddy, what is a buy-sell spread for gold coins?
Well, when you sell a gold coin to a coin shop that's worth, say, $1,200, you don't actually get $1,200.
But don't worry, we're members of UPMA now, so we don't have to worry about that.
Daddy, why somebody seals that gold?
We don't have any gold at the house.
It's stored safely in the UPMA vault, securely and insured.
But the S ⁇ P 500 outperformed gold.
Daddy, gold is a bad investment.
Some people do think of it that way, but actually, gold is money.
And as members of the United Precious Metals Association, we can use our gold at any store, just like a credit card.
Or I can ask them to drop it right into Mommy and Daddy's bank account because we're a UPMA member family.
Find out more at UPMA.org.
That's UPMA.org.
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 Medigoria.
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 Medigoria.
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.
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.
Return to Cinder!
Return to Cinder!
I gave a letter to the postman.
He put it in his sack.
Bright and early next morning, he brought my letter back.
She wrote about it.
Return to Cinder.
Patrest unknown.
No such number.
No such zone.
Well, opening up the show tonight, as we are now firmly in the dog days of summer.
And boy, if you don't believe it, go outside.
With a couple of Memphis artists, the Gentries, and then, of course, the King.
Return to Cinder.
Give me a 30-second breakdown, Keith, because we got to get back to Kenosha.
We said that's going to be the focal point of the first hour.
Return to Cinder.
It looks like the post office got about a $25 billion bailout and pensions guaranteed for the next 80 years.
You know, that's another one.
Just like the NFL and the NBA and Division I, football and basketball, we need to let them all hit the wall and crater.
And all of these spoiled brats working for all of them, when they start not getting that money, they'll find out just how dependent they are upon the goodwill of the general public.
Again, I'm using the NBA to back in to reverse into the situation that transpired in Wisconsin earlier this week.
But yes, boycott all professional sports.
I loved basketball.
I played basketball my dad was my coach.
We went 43-0 my last year, which is still a school record, I might add.
Yeah, well, what happens with like the NBA, the NFL, and the post office?
One, majority black employees.
Two, they're not particularly worthy of, you know, deep dives of information about the events of the day, but they apparently think they are.
And they basically all exist at our will and pleasure as the general public.
The post office hasn't made money in years.
The NFL and the NBA are supporting lavish lifestyles for a bunch of guys that basically have no other serious job options other than playing professional sports.
Why are we supporting these people when they come out and try to attack us and say that we are bad and oppressing them?
If that's oppression, where do I sign up for my share of it?
All right, so that's the thing.
Boycott professional sports.
You'll see how fast they come to heal.
Now, again, what are they saying?
Why are they saying it?
I agree with what you just said, Keith.
Much more than equality, blacks in America, especially professional athletes, enjoy preferential treatment over whites.
LeBron James is a perfect example of the folly that occurs when an ignorant and poorly educated person is given a microphone that they don't deserve.
And taken seriously as an analyst of current events.
Well, and then we were mentioning Doc Rivers before, former player, now the coach of the LA Clippers.
What he said were being hung.
When's the last time anybody was hung in America, by the way?
But we're being shot.
Why do we keep loving this country?
Typical false narrative and playing the victim by an entitled black man who's lived a privileged life far beyond that, which we'll ever know.
He married a white woman.
Doc lives among his rich white neighbors, yet he's complaining about racism.
White fans gave them the existence that they have.
This whole thing, fake stunt saying they were going to quit.
They were never going to strike.
Low I can't believe that.
Let's pull the rug out from under them all, okay?
They don't realize what a soft gig they've got.
They apparently think they're oppressed.
You know, they talk about hangings.
There were about, there were under 5,000 hangings from 1865 to 1965 or lynchings of black people.
And that doesn't even get half of the blacks that are killed by other black criminals in America.
Really care about black lives.
Why aren't any of them speaking out against the violence in Chicago or any other city?
What are we talking about as I put on Twitter this week, dear God, please smite the NBA?
What are they so upset for this week?
What are they so upset for this week?
Well, it was the situation involving Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
So here's the headline.
Here's the headline.
Or rather, the first story in any number of articles written about this incident.
Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old father, was shot in front of his children by police officers while attempting to enter his car.
Now, if that was the beginning and the end of the story, I could see why people would be upset.
It makes it appear as though white police officers were just driving around in their cruiser.
They found the first black guy they could and popped him in the back seven times.
Well, that wasn't the case.
Of course, what really happened, what really happened, is they were serving a warrant against this guy for the sexual assault of a minor, and that included penetration.
Now, what's the difference between sexual assault and rape?
I mean, it's a legal.
I guess it comes in legalese, but really, there's nothing.
Where's the Me Too movement when you need them?
Well, hey, that's a great question.
Well, anyway, so that's why they were serving a warrant on him, and he had a rap sheet that included domestic violence and assault and some other things.
He wrestled with the cops, okay?
So he's already engaging in fisticuffs with the cops.
He has a knife in his hand, if what I've read is accurate.
The cops, we've seen the video, they pull their gun on him, tell him repeatedly to stop, and he casually walks over to his car and makes a fast action that appears.
And again, you're in the moment.
It's a split-second decision.
Certainly looks like the guy that's been fighting with you, the guy who's refusing to obey the police orders.
It looks like he's reaching into his car to grab a weapon.
And so they shoot him.
And I will tell you this.
I don't think race had anything to do with it.
The only reason race has anything to do with it is because the media is telling us it did.
And if it had been a black officer visiting a warrant upon a white suspect who act the same way, I'd say, listen, this is a clear-cut, clean police shooting as far as I'm concerned.
Well, there's some unspoken agenda that is being served here.
Apparently, they're saying that there are cultural differences between white and black people that white cops and the police departments generally have to respect.
In other words, the impulsiveness, the anger, the lack of cooperation when somebody is being arrested.
Resisting arrest seems to be the standard way that black suspects are reacting to a police stop.
They talk about the talk.
Remember the talk that black parents are supposed to have with their children about how guarded and how careful they have to be if they're stopped by the police.
Well, apparently none of these suspects got that talk.
The talk I got from my father about the police was, if you get stopped by the police, smile every chance you get.
Say yes, sir, and no, sir, and be very cooperative.
Now, if they did that, if they got that type of talk like I got from their parents, we wouldn't be seeing all of you.
Remember back in the old days, you know, we've had the former chief of Montgomery, Alabama police, Drew Lackey on, who was pictured in that iconic photo, fingerprinting Rosa Parks.
And we knew that Rosa Parks was an actress in that.
But remember when they actually used to take the time to script these things?
And they didn't.
There was a couple of people who were going to play the role of Rosa Parks in that bus stunt, and they nixed them because they were either unwed mothers or whatever.
And then they got Rosa, who was this, you know, the whole thing was a setup.
But now, I mean, look at this.
Now, it's like, Doc Rivers, what are you saying, Doc Rivers?
If a black child molester is resisting arrest, it appears as though he might be reaching for a gun.
It's racist to stop him.
And I guarantee you a dollar to a donut hole that the child he was molesting was black.
You know, where is, you know, there's no sense, no rationality in this response.
Whenever a black person has an encounter with the police, and it doesn't matter how badly the black suspect behaves, if it results in a shooting or if it results in a death, or even if it results in, you know, a beating like Rodney King, then the police are at fault.
The society is just riddled through with systemic and institutional racism.
And the police, if they're white, are suffering from a terminal case of white privilege.
And it's the same song every time.
Ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight, Sam Bushman in the second and third hour Republican National Convention of Donald Trump's re-election prospects.
That's going to be the order of hours two and three.
But coming up next, Kevin McDonald to further discuss the situation in Kenosha and its greater importance.
Stay tuned.

Yesterday I approved a major disaster declaration that helps individuals and business owners, which is a little bit different, but it goes right to the individual.
And I've signed that already, and so you're all set to go with that.
FEMA has delivered 2.6 million liters of water and 1.4 million meals.

I'm Dr. John Howe, veterinarian and 2020-2021 AVMA immediate past president with the latest on COVID-19 and pets.
There's been a very limited number of infections in companion animals, with most cases asymptomatic or with minor respiratory issues.
Here are some key tips.
If you're healthy, keep practicing good hygiene with your pet.
Wash your hands before and after playtime and when handling food, waste, or supplies.
It's best if you don't let your pets interact with people or pets outside your household, especially if you're in an area with community spread.
Exercise is important for your pet, but try to steer clear of crowded dog parks.
Mind the heat.
Socially distance.
Keep cats indoors whenever possible.
If you're ill with COVID-19, try to have someone care for your pets.
If you can't always wear a mask, don't share food, kiss, or hug your pets and wash your hands before and after any contact.

The actor that brought the comic book hero Black Panther to life has died.
USA Radio's Kenneth Burns reports.
Actor Chadwick Bozeman lost a four-year battle with colon cancer.
It started at stage three and then progressed to stage four.
In addition to earning worldwide acclaim as the superhero, Bozeman also brought baseball legend Jackie Robinson to life in the film 42.
The actor also had a viral moment when he hosted Saturday Night Live when he brought the leader of Wakanda into a Black Jeopardy sketch.
Bozeman was surrounded by his wife and family when he died.
He was 43.
A 25-year-old Nevada man appears to be the first documented case of COVID-19 reinfection in the U.S. Researchers reported that a patient who tested positive with the virus in April, then tested negative twice afterwards, was reinfected with the virus in May.
Researchers found both illnesses were two genetically distinct iterations of the same virus.
You're listening to USA Radio News.
Come back when you grow up, girl.
You're still living in a paper dull world.
Living ain't easy.
Love it's twice as tough.
So come back, baby, when you grow up.
Well, I never got to experience the idyllic world that Keith Alexander and our featured guest of this hour experienced, Kevin McDonald.
But if it was a paper doll world back then, I don't know what you would call it now.
But ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the show now with me, if you will, Kevin McDonald.
Dr. McDonald, a former professor of psychology at California State University, Long Beach, and the author of several books, including Cultural Insurrections and Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition.
Dr. McDonald currently serves as editor of the Occidental Quarterly.
Now, as I mentioned, he is so well known for his career as a professor at a university on the West Coast, but he spent his boyhood in Wisconsin of all places.
So he's returning right now to discuss the current unrest in his native state.
So, Kevin, from Kenosha, Wisconsin to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, about 100 miles as the crow flies.
What do you make of what's going on this week there?
Crazy stuff that I couldn't even imagine when I was growing up there.
You know, it just couldn't even be conceived that you would have.
I have about 7% black in Kenosha, but now it's the epicenter of black-white racial tension in the world.
Yeah, I mean, it's just wild.
And I don't know how this is going to, you know, this is probably, I've heard this from people who've observed this, that it's the second worst in terms of physical destruction to Minneapolis.
I mean, things have burned down and people on the left just ignoring this.
No concern for the businessmen who's people whose lives are ruined here.
No sympathy or understanding of what the police are up against these days.
I mean, that particular less.
And, you know, it's just, boy, we are in a dangerous course here.
And, but I, you know, again, I think we are polarized more than ever before in our history.
I said maybe in the Civil War.
And in a way, polarization is good for us because we need something to change here.
And, you know, if we just go on autopilot, that's not good either.
I do think that's the problem.
This is a civil rights movement comes to Kenosha.
This is a civil rights movement.
This is a civil rights movement that has come to Kenosha, coming to a town near you soon.
You know, when I think of Kenosha, Wisconsin, I think about Home Alone and John Candy and his polka band, the Kenosha Kickers.
Remember that?
Remember that?
I don't remember that, but this is crazy.
That's the thing.
Kenosha is sort of every town in the USA, like Peoria or something.
It's not something that you would think would end up with rioting and destruction and looting.
And all of that is part of the great white north, as they call it.
Kevin, I mean.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
It's interesting that it's all happening in places like that, or at least that's the two biggest incidents of this year, which has had no shortage of incidents.
But you go to the shooting.
I mean, Kevin, give us your take.
You watched the video as we all watched the video, as the left watched the video, and they can pretend to see something totally different than what everybody else sees, or at least people like us who try to be honest about things.
But you watched the video.
What did you make of it?
Well, I watched the video and I've heard people comment on it.
It looks now as if this person sexually assaulted this woman.
He was violating a restraining order.
He's abducting his children.
And he had a knife.
And apparently he had the knife before he went into the car.
Now, I'm not sure.
I don't think the cop should have shot him six times, maybe.
But they tased him a couple of times.
It didn't make any difference at all.
And so, you know, put yourself in a position of a cop.
You know, that's the thing.
Being a cop has got to be the worst job in the world these days where you have these kind of people.
You know, that there's just no way to deal with them.
And if you shoot them, well, then your whole career's on the line.
Your family, everything's on the line.
And if you don't, well, I mean, this guy was about to drive away.
Were you supposed to allow that?
I mean, no.
Apparently, you can't arrest a black person nowadays unless they want to be arrested.
Well, he may have been about to drive away.
But again, as you mentioned, Kevin, a cop isn't doing this after days and days of Monday morning quarterbacking where you can look at the video and put yourself in his shoes.
I mean, it looked as though that man may have been reaching for a gun.
As you said, he had already been engaged in a wrestling match with one of the cops.
He'd been tased a couple of times, had a knife in his hand.
If he's reaching for a gun, it could have been the cop that had died.
If the cop had died, there wouldn't have been one word about it in the news.
It's a split-second decision in the heat of the moment.
I don't know about seven shots, but you're definitely going to have to do something in that situation.
He was obeying every direct order.
Disobeying every direct order.
Yeah, excuse me, disobeying, of course.
And now here we are where we are.
And the media takes it in a totally different way, Kevin.
I mean, look what the media said.
And it's in this headline I read the last segment.
Leaving out every other fact of the altercation, this is what the media is feeding people.
Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old father, was shot in front of his children by police officers while attempting to enter his car.
Man, they left out a couple of things in that, didn't they?
They kept out.
Yeah, they left out all kinds of things there.
Steve Taylor had a tweet the other day.
What if it had been a white guy and the cops had shot him?
The story would have been man shot while attempting to abduct his children from his wife, you know, violating a restraining order, you know, after a sexual assault and with a long criminal record and all that.
I mean, that's the thing.
Nobody would have cared.
There would have been a local story in Kenosha or something like that, you know, but that would have been it.
Nobody would have cared.
But this, you know, it's a national, you know, moral panic.
And it's yet another one.
It's just like the civil rights movement was, except rather than being in Birmingham or Selma, now it's in Kenosha in Minneapolis.
Yeah.
And it's interesting, you know, it's happening in these swing states.
And I'm thinking it's got to help Trump.
You know, we're all kind of critical of Trump, but my God, you know, the idea that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris could get in there is, to me, just drives me, that would be a disaster.
And just imagine what happens if Trump does get elected.
These people are going to go nuts.
Every big city in this country is going to go crazy.
And they're going to be rioting and looting and shooting.
And I don't know.
But, you know, I'm thinking an awful lot of people in Wisconsin, Wisconsin swing states.
They went for Trump last time, but they got a Democrat governor could go either way.
But an awful lot of people are saying, you know, we cannot tolerate this.
And these people, you know, I live in Oregon here.
My God, you know, the officials in Portland, they just don't do anything.
And you're never doing that for them.
You know, there's Ted Wheeler, the mayor of Portland, has done nothing about the protest.
And yet, you know, his condo was invaded yesterday, and people chained themselves in the lobby of his condo building, and people were lights up there and just crazy stuff.
They want him to resign.
He's not, you know, well, all I can say is this.
Walk a mile in our shoes.
This is what we went through in the 50s and 60s in Birmingham and Memphis and whatnot.
Now, coming to Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, and Kenosha.
Yeah, but I'll tell you the difference is Bull Connor and Alabama law enforcement officers back in the 60s didn't allow it to go on 100 days consecutively like Ted Wheeler has in Portland.
And what has it bought him?
Has it earned him any has it curried him any favor, Kevin?
I mean, apparently not.
I didn't know that that had happened at his own condo.
They want him to resign.
I mean, the same thing with Mayor Fry in Minneapolis.
You know, he went out there, you know, arm all and say, oh, Black Lives Matter, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they booed and they hissed and they told him to resign and the whole thing.
These people are never, you can't satisfy him unless you get rid of every last cop, defund the whole thing, which is insane.
We all know what would happen if they got rid of the police.
My God, it's bad enough now.
The police have got to be horribly demoralized.
If you're a cop, are you going to arrest a black guy?
You're going to think twice about it, three times about it.
From the ridiculous to the absurd.
Yeah.
It's just crazy.
Well, I'll tell you this.
I mean, imagine.
We're going to touch on the Kyle Rittenhouse element of this whole scenario in the next segment.
But yeah, you're right.
Imagine being a cop.
I'll tell you this.
If Derek Chauvin, the officer involved in the George Floyd incident in Minnesota, if this cop in Atlanta that we heard about a few months ago, if this cop that involved in the if they get acquitted, which they should have justice is served, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not layman, but if they should all be acquitted, in fact, charges should have never been brought in the first place.
But if they do get acquitted in the inevitable trials, America burns that day and the jury's going to know it.
Unless the people that are about to act up like that know that they're going to be met with force, lethal force, if necessary.
Well, again, law and order tweets, so we appreciate that from the president, but when does the law and order kick in?
I mean, it had, look, a lot of this is happening on Trump's watch.
I think it would be worse if Biden gets in, but there's no excuse for this amount of lawlessness to occur, even if he is being opposed by local officials.
You can't allow them to sack city blocks.
We'll be right back.

You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?
In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.
More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems.
American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.
As economist Tyler Cowan recently wrote, quote, by having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.
The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.
The solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.
Have we realized the assault against our lives, our liberties, our faith?
To defeat this assault, Christians and all people of goodwill should have strategies to prevail in our faith and principles, which are simple.
No need for a complex formula.
One goal, one aim.
A strategy like the heroic Christians of the past.
We win, they lose.
Nothing less.

We're just going to go straight into it.
All right, and welcome back, everybody.
No music this segment.
We're too busy talking to one another in the commercial break, so we're just going to get after it.
I'm at 1-866-986-6397.
Yeah, we can't come back properly without an oldie being played, that's for sure.
Well, anyway, back with Dr. Kevin McDonald.
I'm at his website right now, theocidentalobserver.net.
And I encourage you to go there as well.
Always great article, great content there by Kevin.
And so there's another big element to what happened in your home state this week, Kevin, and that was the Kyle Rittenhouse curveball.
So you have the riots, the lawlessness, the destruction, the arson, looting, you name it, going on.
And apparently a few people went down there with the intent to safeguard some of this property, which was a bad idea, I think, if you take the situation in St. Louis with the McCloskeys into account.
I mean, you have two people there just standing on the porch of their own home, just showing people that if you come on this property and you attempt to do anything to us or our home, you're going to be met with force.
And they even got indicted.
So going down in the middle of a riot, no matter how well-intentioned, no matter how legal, there should have been something that should have been considered very thoroughly.
But sure enough, he goes down in there.
And as you put up on your Twitter, Kevin, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
And he was attacked, of course.
And to me, it's clear-cut self-defense.
There's no doubt about that.
To me, clear-cut self-defense, but he's going to be facing murder one.
Yeah, I mean, and a whole bunch of other charges.
And, you know, it's just outrageous, really.
But did this, you know, this is bound to happen where the authorities are not doing anything.
They're standing by, sort of looking the other way.
I mean, Portland is the paradigm of this.
I mean, these guys get arrested.
They're out the next, they're out the same night, basically, the next day, and they go right back on the streets and riot because they're bailed out.
They got these, you know, these left-wing lawyers who will defend them in court.
They have big money backing them in terms of bail and all that.
So, you know, the authorities are doing nothing.
So this kid.
Of course, they've done that ever since the civil rights movement, Kevin.
That's exactly the scenario that we faced in the South with the left being lawyered up to the max, ready to move in and take steps to defend their people.
And we didn't have that.
Now, for example, we're talking about Kyle Rittenhouse coming from Illinois out there and that he's inviting trouble.
Well, what about all these antifa and Black Lives Matter people coming from God knows where and being paid for by George Soros and coming here?
You know, where's a little reciprocity or inequality in the application of the law?
Guys, don't make no mistake, Keith and Kevin.
I think this kid was, again, his actions were totally in self-defense.
He's exercising his First Amendment rights.
Well, or a Second Amendment.
Well, it's First Hand Second Amendment.
Well, here's the thing.
He was, what, hit on the back and knocked down by a skateboard.
Then another guy is coming up with a handgun in his palm, about ready to deal death or destruction to this kid.
But here's the thing.
I think what he did was completely defensible.
But you've got to understand the reality.
There is a double standard in terms of the application of the law.
As Kevin said to Kevin's point, you can do anything you want.
If you're a Black Lives Matter terrorist or an anti-fa anarchist, you'll get out of jail.
You can go back to looting the next day.
You can go back to burning the next day.
But if you act in self-defense, you're going to get the book thrown at you and you're probably going to lose because we have a rigged court system.
And that is the psychological warfare that our people have to keep in mind.
Even if it's self-defense, you're going to face murder one.
Well, the wonderful thing about all of this, in my opinion, is that people in places like Wisconsin and Minnesota that serve on those juries are going to have a real reality check.
They're going to have to say all of this palaver that we used to believe about how bad people, white people were in the South.
Now it's come home like the chickens have come home to roost up there, and they're going to have to make their own determination about what's right and what's wrong.
Here's some interesting information.
I want Kevin to respond to this.
Well, Kevin, actually, go ahead.
I've got something.
Go ahead.
I think that you've got a jury of 12 people from Kenosha in that area.
And they're not going to be black.
I mean, 7% black.
So you're going to have mostly white people.
And they're going to look at this and they're going to say, yeah, I mean, look at all the destruction.
And this guy, the fact that he was shot at first, the fact that he was really in danger of getting killed himself.
I mean, the guy he shot in the arm said, the only regret I have is I didn't kill him.
I mean, what a great defense that'll be.
I mean, in other words, someone that doesn't show what his mensrail or his intent was, I don't know what would.
Yeah, I mean, really.
And so some of these people have got it.
You know, it takes unanimous decision to convict someone of that.
And I think he's going to be okay.
And he's a hero for a lot of people.
I know that this guy, some government official appointed by the governor of Maryland, expressed sympathy for Mr. Rittenhouse.
And he was fired.
But, you know, he was just noting that this guy, he was there.
He was trying to scrub the graffiti.
And, you know, he was Mr. Nice Guy.
And, you know, here he is accused of murder one.
It's just crazy.
He got fired.
That's the thing.
You know, the double standard is alive and well.
Kevin, here's some interesting information that's come in from a member of our audience, rich in the Nashville area.
Our audience is always so much better informed than I am.
But apparently, the same lawyer who sued CNN on behalf of Nick Sandman is representing now, now representing Kyle Rittenhouse.
And you can donate to his local defense fund by going to fightbackfoundation.law, fightbackfoundation.law.
I, though, Kevin, put the blame on the police.
If the police had done their job and dispersed the mob in the first couple of days, there wouldn't have been a powder keg for Rittenhouse to walk into where he was forced to defend his life.
So again, the cops, the cops, law and order tweets from the president.
We like it.
We'd like to actually see some law and order on the streets.
You've got these do-nothing cops.
You want to firebomb the police station?
Okay, well, let us pack up first and try to get out of here.
A cop was basically stoned in one American city a couple of days ago.
The people were cheering when he fell.
Yeah, I mean, exactly.
And the fact is that the same lawyer now is calling for the governor of Maryland to resign because, you know, because he fired this guy who defended Rittenhouse.
You know, this is amazing.
I mean, it really is.
But pacifism is not a good tactic for policing.
Okay.
The police should not be pacifists.
The police should be strong and certain response to illegality.
And as far as Trump goes, you know, people like the governor of Oregon and the mayor of Portland, they don't want federal troops in there.
They did everything they could to get rid of them.
And all we've seen since then is more rioting.
All the federal troops did was protect federal buildings.
That's absolutely their right.
Nobody could question that.
And what's going to happen, Kevin, is this.
What about the people in Oregon and Minnesota that have seen their city laid waste because of the fecklessness of their political leadership?
Are they going to continue to elect people like that?
Yeah.
I mean, that's what I'm thinking.
Wouldn't it be great if space like Oregon suddenly became, you know, said, forget this Democratic garbage?
You got to have law and order.
And, you know, all these businessmen, I mean, businessmen leaving for Montana or Arizona or Idaho or something.
I mean, who could have a business down there?
They've been ruined.
Absolutely ruined.
Well, this is Kevin.
Let me just say this.
This is going to be the real acid test.
Either the people of Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin realize that law and order is important and they're going to vote Trump in.
It's like the left is giving Trump the election, or the people are absolutely insane in those locales and they want to be destroyed.
All right.
Kevin, final word to you.
An hour with you always goes by too quickly.
30 minutes with you and it's like it's over before it started.
TheOccidental Observer.net.
You got a minute.
I want to give you all the time we have left this hour.
Take it away, my friend.
Well, I just want one point I want to make here is that this is not a bottom-up revolution.
When you look at the people on the streets, these poor black people, this crazy white people who are been indoctrinated by the school system and living in their mother's basement.
But the fact is it is an elite movement.
It is authorized.
It is warranted by the powers that be.
You got major corporations donating millions to these companies.
You've got the authorities in Oregon and Wisconsin, everywhere, really bending over backwards, not wanting to be on board with Black Lives Matter, not get on the wrong side of those people.
You've got the district attorney or whatever the title is in St. Louis going after the Nikloskis.
I mean, that is the thing that we have to realize.
This is an elite movement.
It's the authorities.
It's not like you've got these poor people rising up against the establishment.
They are the establishment.
They're the foot soldiers of the establishment.
And they're doing this with the blessing of our hostile elite.
Our elites, ever since 1965, and I write about this.
This is fundamentally a Jewish elite.
You can't understand the people who run this country without talking about Jews.
and yet that's prescribed, of course.
But the fact is...
What about the three guys?
What about the three guys?
They sounded like Jewish names to me.
No time.
Guys that were shot.
Guys that were shot in Kenosha.
Look at those names.
None of them were named Smith or Jones.
All right, Kevin, my friend, always great to talk to you.
