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.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you here at the top of the program for this Saturday evening, October the 3rd.
Happy October to everyone out there.
We have totally scrapped what was planned for tonight as of midweek.
We have dispensed with our guests for the evening.
We have rescheduled them for later in October.
And it's just going to be me and Keith tonight.
We'll have Jack Ryan at the end of the show closing us out, but we're going to keep it in-house tonight.
I think it's only the second time this year with the 4th of July extravaganza show being the other one.
But even on that night, Sam Bushman was with us, although he's part of the team too.
In any event, this will be a very rare occasion when we don't have a featured guest to help us anchor a show.
It's just going to be me and Keith for the full three hours.
And that is because, of course, Donald Trump's diagnosis.
Originally, midweek, we had planned to do the first hour doing a post-debate recap and analysis.
That was going to be the first hour.
Second hour, we were going to get into our featured guest of the night.
And then, of course, we always do a little cleanup and catch-up in the third hour.
But we have pushed back our post-debate analysis.
You know, that debate was just this Tuesday, just a few days ago.
It seems like the whole election, the whole campaign, the whole country has been upended since then.
It seems a lot longer ago than less than a week that that debate took place.
But in any event, Keith Alexander, welcome.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
So that's what we're going to be doing.
We are going to be offering our opinions on a very early and very substantial October surprise.
Will President Trump's positive test result for the coronavirus cost him re-election?
And how about his debate performance?
We're going to be talking about all of that and more tonight on TPC.
So that's the preview.
No guests.
Quick perusal of the mailbag.
Herman down in Florida.
Herman, thank you for all your great and informative work.
Well, thank you, Herman.
How about this one from Steve in Baltimore?
You and Keith are the cat's whiskers.
Well, I've certainly been called worse than that, Steve, so I appreciate it.
He says he is a rad-trad Roman Catholic.
Well, thank you.
He wants us to plug the Omni Christian Book Club.
I did go to their website, omni CBC.com, omni CBC.com for the OmniChristian Book Club, and they do have books there.
I can tell you that.
And we would like you to check it out.
What do we got here?
Well, we'll get to more correspondence.
I know a lot of you, ladies and gentlemen, have been sending in emails, as you always do.
Don't stop.
Keep them coming.
I'm a little bit slow on responding to some of the correspondence we received this week.
My wife, it looks as though they're going to move up her due date by another week.
So she's going to go nearly a month early, perhaps as early as Monday.
She has had some issues with blood pressure.
Everything's fine, don't worry.
But they are keeping her under very intense observations, even on some blood pressure medicine, and it really hasn't abated very much.
So we could be having a birthday in the Edwards family as early as Monday, which is about three weeks before her original due date and about one week before they had planned.
So we'll keep you posted.
But with all that and this year, I mean, my goodness, what a year.
It's 2021 to remember with what, with rampant violence and arson and terrorism in our streets that have stretched for nearly a full year now.
The coronavirus and all of that and how they've manipulated that.
And now this diagnosis, it's an election year, and I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot of things.
But Keith, this diagnosis, President Trump, as we stand right now, is in the hospital.
Does it cost him his chance at reelection?
How does this impact the election?
I obviously think he's going to be fine.
I don't think I maintain that the coronavirus is not particularly deadly, even for a person of President Trump's age.
A lot to unpack tonight.
Get us started.
Well, the Chinese curse is may you live in interesting times.
And we certainly are living through interesting times right now, James.
The problem is I don't trust the medical professionals that are treating him any more than I trust, for example, Nicholas Ray, his head of the FBI, who said that white supremacists are the great danger for violence and disruption in America and that Antifa is only an idea or only a mood or state of mind or something.
What I worry about with Trump is I know that the Democrats will do anything and virtually anything to win this election.
And if they can't win it, they're going to take it regardless through a coup d'etat.
And what's the, you know, we've also got the medical problem now with Trump.
Now, some people might say that that's fortuitous for Trump after the way he got in his own way in the debate on Tuesday.
And don't forget, we're going to be covering that extensively.
Keith and I will be breaking it down, offering our opinions on that.
But do continue.
In the second hour.
Yeah, let me suggest this.
Sometime we need to talk about the Supreme Court nomination or nominee, Amy Coney Bryant, that went to the same undergraduate school as I did.
Well, we certainly thought, well, no, we didn't.
You're right.
I mean, it was mentioned by Brother Nathaniel, of course.
We talked about it some more last week, but we haven't really done an extensive profile on her.
But that's just one thing lost in the shuffle with everything else going on this week.
Well, she and I have something in common.
Both of us graduated Phi Beta Kappa from what is now called Rhodes College.
It was called Southwestern at Memphis when I graduated from there.
But this is a – Not the Rhodes College, of course.
Right.
Well, the thing is, Rhodes Scholar is named after Cecil Rhode, I think it is, that was a multi-millionaire.
I think he's a guy that invented dynamite, and he wanted to do something, or maybe that's Nobel, but whatever it is, the Rhodes Scholar program was to get people from the colonies or former colonies of England and have them come to Oxford for an education.
Bill Clinton did that.
A lot of other people have done that.
But Amy Coney Bryant or Comey Bryant did not do that.
She graduated with honors, like I did also, from Rhodes College, and she went to Notre Dame Law School and was number one in her class and very possibly the smartest person that ever went there, according to certain people.
But on the other hand, we're going to find out just how depraved and insane the Democrats in the Senate are.
I can't even imagine what they're going to accuse this poor woman of.
And on the other hand, look, I don't think that she's going to be our salvation.
We'll get into this in more depth when we really focus on this.
But I think she's not going to be a good conservative person.
You may not have to focus on it at all because now there are some whispers and some murmurings out there that some of the essential people who would have been chairing the panel for her confirmation process have now also tested.
Basically, every Republican of any renown in the last week all of a sudden has COVID.
I'm talking about some senators.
I'm talking about people who would have played a hand in her confirmation process, shepherding that down to the floor for a vote.
They've got it now.
Does Trump go to the next debate?
Does this confirmation hearing get stymied?
I mean, it's all up in the air as we sit here right now, and we're not going to know the answer until Father Tom reveals.
Well, you know, it also brings to mind the fact that the COVID pandemic may just be a great all-purpose excuse for shutting down the government whenever the left wants it shut down.
For example, confirming Amy Comey Brock Barrett to the Supreme Court.
We're just getting started.
So much to unpack.
So many implications and ramifications.

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.

Well, after the news, after the news came out, I guess it was just yesterday, right?
Yesterday morning, early, early morning hours, we put a poll up on our Twitter account at James Edwards TPC.
Which outcome is more likely?
We gave you three choices with regards to Election Day results.
Trump recovers and wins.
Trump resigns, or if you prefer, Trump dies, dies, and Pence wins, or Biden wins under any circumstance.
As a result of the poll, 75.5% are staying optimistic and saying Trump will recover and win the election.
Only 21.8%, even today, believe, at least the respondents to our poll, believes that Biden will win.
But I've got to say, Keith, I think the symbolism of this hurts him.
It's got to hurt him at least for now.
It was about this time exactly four years ago when they had the early October surprise of the Billy Bush access Hollywood tapes, grab him by the you-know-what.
And that was supposed to have ended Trump for sure.
And he was able to weather that.
But I mean, it's just, this situation is just too fluid.
I, of course, don't take back anything I've said about the severity of the coronavirus and how this whole thing has just been a farce.
Yes, the president has gotten apparently this illness, which is still relatively mild.
But the timing of it all, the timing of it all, I'm not getting out into the tall grass with any sort of conspiracy, but you can't help but notice, after all this time, this whole year, a month before the election, now his rallies are canceled the last three or four weeks before the election.
The remaining debates are now in question.
The very confirmation of Ambi Comey Barrett is in question.
A Washington Post article, which is supposed to be one of the two most premier newspapers in the world, along with the New York Times, really.
In the U.S., at least.
Yes, in the U.S. for sure, but certainly in the world as well.
The Washington Post article even suggested that he should be removed from the ballot, removed from the ballot because he has this cold.
Now, it may affect him a little more severely than most because he is older.
But, you know, I never heard any liberal newspaper or any liberal pundits say that because Ruth Bader Ginsburg was suffering from stage four cancer for 20 years of her time on the bench that she didn't have the presence of mind to execute her duties.
But I just, the conveniency of the timing is really interesting, don't you find?
Yeah, I do.
And I'm like you.
I don't really, I try to avoid conspiracy theories at all costs.
But I mean, this thing is an enigma wrapped in a conundrum, wrapped in a puzzle or something.
You know, we've got more problems, and we've had things like, for example, the mysterious circumstances surrounding Scalia's death.
He's out here at some remote outpost on a hunting trip and he dies.
You know, how did he die?
It's, you know, did they smother him with a pillow?
Did he just have a random cardiac event that carried him off?
There's just so much going on here.
And one thing that we have learned in Trump's presidency is that never underestimate the mendacity of the Democrats and the left generally.
They will do whatever it takes to win.
We're not talking about the playing fields of Eaton or anything where, you know, gentlemen contend mightily and shake hands and, you know, all is forgotten and they have a drink or dinner after they play.
These people are playing for keeps.
They want to win.
And why do they want to win so badly?
I think they have something very, very bad in store for the people that would be traditional U.S. people that would vote for Trump, the historic nation of America, hide and watch.
They've been able to use race as the primary dividing point.
If you'll notice, for example, in the debate, in the aftermath of the debate, what was the biggest issue that the mainstream media pounced upon?
White supremacy.
White supremacy, racist.
That makes mainstream conservatives and others go berserk.
It's like spraying decon on a bunch of cockroaches and they start running everywhere.
They start eating one another.
They go nuts.
Well, and it's not an accident that you chose racism-smasism as the subject of your book, James, because, you know, that's the one thing that just absolutely unhinges conservatives.
Okay.
All right.
So here's the thing, though, Keith.
I want to get into the debate in the second hour.
I want to stick with COVID for right now.
But since you mentioned the debate, and don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, as I just mentioned, we are going to do an extensive play-by-play post-debate analysis.
That's coming up.
That was going to be the highlight of the show tonight.
And then, of course, this other news presented itself.
But about the debate.
So he's at the debate on Tuesday, and he looks particularly healthy and obviously engaging, very aggressive, Donald Trump, on Tuesday.
Then sometime late Thursday night, early Friday morning, he says he's tested positive.
And now all of a sudden he's in the hospital.
Now that is a precipitous decline that even baffles doctors.
Even the doctors are saying, well, it normally takes a week or two weeks before you get to the point where you're hospitalized.
He would have been either showing some symptoms beforehand or not feeling well if it was going to get to this point in the progression.
Obviously, a lot of people are asymptomatic the whole time, or perhaps they never even have it.
It's a false positive.
Maybe it's a false positive here.
I mean, maybe he's just got some other cold or illness and they're calling it COVID.
Who knows?
But I mean, I don't think Donald Trump, the White House has extensive medical facilities.
I don't think he would have gone to the hospital, Walter Reed, unless he needed to.
But again, just the whole thing.
He looked chipper on Tuesday night.
And whether it's a false positive or not, getting back to the point, the spin and perception, I think, could be devastating because it's going to put all the focus back on how he handled or mismanaged, mishandled the response to this faux threat.
And of course, the media is going to say he mishandled it.
Yes, I believe the illness is mild.
Yes, I believe he'll be fine.
But again, as we said, the timing couldn't be more suspicious.
Well, it's more than that, too.
He is incommunicado almost.
You know, I don't know.
I haven't heard about him tweeting like he normally does.
He's locked in there with the doctors.
Do we trust the health care professionals?
I don't know if we should trust anybody.
Look at his FBI director, Nicholas Ray, or Christopher Wray, excuse me, who said that Antifa is just an idea or a mood or something.
It's not an organization.
But the Proud Boys, which is one of the most cucked groups that You would think they were, you know, a group of Nazi commandos that were going in wiping out people and whatnot.
But the fact that Trump isn't out here grabbing the spotlight like he normally does makes me wonder what is going on behind closed doors.
And, you know, one thing this has done, it's certainly taken the focus off of Joe Biden's physical infirmities and frailties and mental infirmities and frailties.
Now we're focusing completely on Donald Trump's head.
And see, and Trump always, of course, and rightly so in many ways, presents himself as a strong man.
So now he's going to be made to look weak.
I mean, it makes you look weak if you're in the hospital.
Even the strongest of men, they're going to be weak in that moment.
I think it's a bad look for him.
Does this affect the voters?
Does it say, well, we can't have a guy in there that's, you know, obviously they're not thinking.
Most people can't think beyond the moment.
They can't think a month from now or a year from now.
He's obviously recovered from whatever this is.
They see him as weak and in a fragile state right now, and that's what's going to color their perception.
Or does he get a sympathy vote in October?
Or is it in two weeks now?
This is old news and stale and it's almost like it never happened.
This could impact the rest of the election or it could be a blip on the radar.
You just don't know.
I can't tell you what's going to, I mean, nobody knows.
There's a chance, again, that this whole Supreme Court thing that the Republicans have been supposedly fighting for for 50, 60 years to take control of the court.
I don't think that's going to happen.
I think that these so-called conservative justices will just morph into liberals.
But whatever the case, this is supposed to be like the moment they've been waiting for for generations.
All up in the air because of a COVID is an all-purpose excuse for stalling off and delaying anything you don't want to come to terms with.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, more on this when we come back.
Post-debate analysis and more.
TPC, we're in October.
election is one month from today pursuing liberty using the constitution as our guide You're listening to Liberty News Radio, USA Radio News with Tim Berg.
President Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, said the president went through a very concerning period on Friday and that the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care.
As far as how President Trump is being treated, yesterday evening, he received his first dose of Ivory Remdesivir, and our plan is to continue a five-day treatment course for remdesivir.
And the big plan for today, since he's in such great spirits and doing well, is to encourage him to eat, to drink, to stay hydrated, to be up out of bed.

The NFL postponing the Kansas City Chiefs New England Patriots game on Sunday due to positive COVID-19 tests.
This is USA Radio News.
You know, it's true.
Difficult times have a way of focusing us.
We have to think about what matters most when it comes to our spending, our health care.
No doubt, this is why so many people are joining MediShare right now.
MediShare is a trusted way to save up to 50% on your monthly health care costs.
More than 400,000 people have already made the switch.
It's pretty obvious why, too, especially now during this challenging season with healthcare costs and out-of-pocket expenses going up.
MediShare can save you a lot of money.
A typical family saves $500 a month.

The stunning news that President Trump has contracted COVID-19 has ignited a new urgency for Congress to come together on a massive coronavirus relief bill.
Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi saying.
We're hopeful that we can reach agreement because the needs of the American people are so great.
But there has to be a recognition that it takes money to do that.
Pelosi and Mnushin are expected to work through the weekend.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will soon be ground zero when the confirmation hearings begin for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
But two Republican senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Tom Tillis of North Carolina, have tested positive for COVID-19.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying the physical absence of two members of the committee warrants delaying the hearings.
But Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said any senator who wants to participate virtually in the Supreme Court nomination hearings will be allowed to do so.
This is USA Radio News.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, yes, indeed.
The first hour we're talking about this COVID diagnosis, this positive test result that the president got.
Whether it's real or imagined, he's in the hospital.
He's sick with something, I would guess, or he wouldn't go there.
Second hour, comprehensive post-debate analysis.
That's going to be something I more look forward to because this is more of a grim topic here.
But we're going to be talking about the Proud Boys.
We're going to be talking about Congress passing a bipartisan resolution to condemn QAnon, just all sorts of things.
Sort of law lynching of all things.
I thought lynching was always illegal.
I thought murder has been illegal for a long time.
Well, with regard to this COVID diagnosis, now, obviously, the timing is interesting because of how it impacts the election, but there was some other things going on in the country in recent weeks, Keith, in recent days anyway.
The state of Florida basically became wide open again.
Governor Ron DeSantis had dropped so many of these COVID restrictions.
And if an establishment wanted to remain insistent upon its patrons wearing the mask, they had to provide written evidence to the state as to why that was necessary.
So Florida was basically back open for business.
Here in Tennessee, here in Tennessee, Bill Lee did something similar, Governor Bill Lee, and he loosened the restrictions on essentially every county, except for Shelby County, which has its own health department and maybe Davidson County as well.
But the vast majority of the counties in Tennessee also did away with the mask mandates.
And so, again, it causes you to pause when you see the president of the United States apparently coming down with this and in light of these other states just a couple of days before relaxing the laws there.
Now, Chris Christie, I am seeing has tested positive for COVID.
Basically, everybody in the president's entourage, as we said at the top of the show, Kellyanne Conway, Hope Hicks, who told some great lies about me in 2016.
So, boy, I hated to see her get it.
She did say she liked Sam Bushman.
She just she didn't like, or rather they condemned me, but they liked Sam.
But I can't blame them for that.
I mean, if I had to pick.
But anyway, so Hope Hicks has it and other key people in the White House, including people, as we mentioned, that are essential to the confirmation process there with Barrett.
But no Democrats have gotten it.
I have not seen one prominent Democrat get it.
It's just like the Black Lives Matter riots.
It couldn't spread there.
Apparently, it can't infect liberals.
Well, I tell you what.
What I think is that it's going to be an all-purpose excuse for shutting down the Republican Party and anybody in the Republican Party.
And this is where Trump can really show his mettle, show that he's not a beta male, but an alpha male.
He can say, to heck with it all.
I don't feel that bad.
We're going ahead.
I don't care what Dr. Fauci or someone else says, so-called medical experts.
We're going ahead, full steam ahead.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
I'm going to debate.
I'm going to wear a mask and I'm going to go to rallies and speak.
And, you know, I don't need to get the A-O-K from the Democratic Party or its leaders before I do anything.
If he, on the other hand, cowers in the corner and they see, they've gotten Joe Biden out of the basement and they want to put Donald Trump in the basement, basically, by, you know, having him quarantine because he has a mild taste of COVID.
You know, another thing I picked up on in the media this week, and it was in just about every story, certainly every story from a major artery like the New York Times or the Washington Post or some of these others, they mention that Trump is, in their wording, obese.
Now, any other article, any time, obesity would be presented as if it were a healthy and beautiful lifestyle choice.
But now, almost every article covering Trump's supposed COVID diagnosis makes mention of the fact that he's obese as if that's like some sort of a slam or a dig at him.
But I thought that that was beautiful.
I thought that was equal to or greater than being fit and in good shape.
But that was just something I picked up that just irked me the wrong way.
Never is obesity, like so many other things, mentioned in a negative connotation when it should be.
But in this case, it's brought up as if it's going to kill him because he's overweight.
Well, they say it with a special relish when they say that.
Exactly.
And for example, if you want to see obese people, look at Heather Heyer, the person that was killed or died from natural causes at Charlottesville.
Now, that girl was obese, okay?
A lot of these Black Lives Matter protesters, probably about two-thirds of them, are truly obese, but you will never hear that.
In fact, if you were to say that about Heather Heyer or about any of these Black Lives Matter protesters, you would be guilty of body shaming, which is the new emerging concept of a protected class.
And if you are morbidly obese, that's the new beautiful, okay?
But then on the other hand, they go back to the old vilifying meaning of the term when they say that Trump is obese.
I've seen Trump, and I would never have called him obese.
I wouldn't say that he was felt or in great shape or has the best body mass index of anybody I know, just like I wouldn't say he's got the best head of hair of anybody I know.
But on the other hand, you know, I really don't, I think that's a cheap shot to call him obese.
Like you said, they did it with relish as if that was just a way they could get a dig in on him, but they would never mention obesity in a negative way if it were not for the president.
Yeah, believe me, if, you know, we had Barbara Jordan from Texas, Bella Abzog from Israel.
We've had a lot of morbidly obese people in the public state.
Their obesity is never going to be mentioned under any circumstances.
And they would never mention that, particularly not with a woman, okay?
I don't know why, but because it's Trump, anything goes.
Anything negative you can say about him, they will say.
So here's the thing.
I mean, obviously we've stated the obvious.
Trump has, at least, according to the people who are informing him, tested positive for COVID.
Let's just, for argument's sake, take it at their word.
There could be another twist, and there will be.
30 days from today, America will vote.
Well, except for half the country who's voted early by mail in some probably fraudulent way.
But in any event, I'll vote 30 days from today.
I always savor my vote and do it at the poll on election day.
I don't like early voting.
There will be other twists between now and then.
You can bet your hat on that.
There will be other twists.
There will be things that shake it up.
I mean, we could be two weeks from now and think that this never even happened because it was so inconsequential.
Or it could cost him everything.
I mean, Keith, if you looked into your Oracle, how would you say right now as we sit, this shakes things up?
It's not what COVID or any other third-party force does.
It's the reaction of the Republicans and of Trump.
If they dutifully go into quarantine and he doesn't speak to the American people, he postpones the debate.
They're going to say it's because he did so poorly in the first one that he's grabbing at any straight.
Well, the debate commission, the debate commission could outright cancel it now and use this as the excuse, no matter what Trump wants to do.
But see, the main thing is keep your eye on the ball.
The Republicans need to keep their intelligence sources working, finding out what type of dirty tricks the Democrats have in mind for the election, and they need to be taking steps to counter them.
They need to be lawyered up in all jurisdictions, ready to go toe-to-toe with the National Lawyers Guild and all these other left-wing, hard-left organizations that are going to be assisting the Democrats.
I do think it is increasingly likely.
I'm not saying this is going to be what happens, but there's a better than average chance this year above most other years.
We did see it in 2000 with Bush and Gore, that this gets hung up in the Supreme Court because I think if Trump loses narrowly, he'll look in.
He'll file suits about these mail-in ballots and how this has all been administered.
And there's certainly enough smoke there to jam it up in the courts.
And if that happens, and if it goes to the Supreme Court, how important is it that he gets this woman on here in the last month?
But now, again, that hangs in the ballot balance because some people that are a part of that process may not be available.
Well, see, the COVID epidemic is another excuse for delay, delay in handling the nomination to the Supreme Court of Amy Comey Barrett.
And who gets that lucky, Keith?
Who gets that lucky in their life that all of this would happen?
It seems just too fortuitous for Biden to be.
To be legit.
I think COVID came by, very possibly it was used with this in mind because it's a many splendid thing like love.
It's something that you can use for all sorts of different purposes.
If you want to delay or sidetrack something that is time essential, it's the perfect gift for that.
and having Trump come down with it.
You know, but we need to have all of Congress, not all of Congress, but all of the Senate meeting and moving post-haste with ACB's confirmation process.
I need to do it as soon as possible before the election, and if not, then before the first of the year at the very least.
But on the other hand, the left is going to try to use COVID as an excuse to do nothing and to sit on it.
And guess what?
They're going to play the four corners and run out the clock.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're really going to turn up the heat when we get into our post-debate analysis.
That still needs to be discussed tonight, so we're going to do it.
And we're going to do it in a big way in the second hour.
We'll be right back to the end of the first hour, though, right after this.
Being there with your child and being there for your child are two completely different things.
One denotes a simple presence, which is a start, but can also be accomplished by someone other than you.
Hey, can you help me with this algebra problem?
See, that sheep did a fine job of being there with the child, but it didn't do a very good job of being there for the child.
Now listen to the difference an involved parent can make.
Hey, can you help me with this algebra problem?
I'm not very good at algebra, but do you have any English questions?
Because I done real good in English.
Mom.
Okay, let's take a look.
Okay, so the algebra problem didn't get solved, but something better happened.
Mom was there for her child.
And when you're really there, they'll know how much you care.

As you all know, Roe versus Wade has resulted in some of the most permissive abortion laws anywhere in the world.
For example, in the United States, it's one of only seven countries to allow elective late-term abortions, along with China, North Korea, and others.
Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother's womb in the ninth month.
It is wrong.
It has to change.
Americans are more and more pro-life.
You see that all the time.
In fact, only 12% of Americans support abortion on demand at any time.
Under my administration, we will always defend the very first right in the Declaration of Independence, and that is the right to life.
As a parent, is receiving a faith-based, character-focused education for your children difficult to find?
Do you believe that godly principles should be a central component in your child's education?
Imagine a school where faith and integrity are at its center, where heritage and responsibility instill character.
For over 40 years, American Heritage School has been educating both hearts and minds, bringing out academic excellence.
This is the school where character and embracing the providence of a living God are fundamental, where students' national test scores average near the 90th percentile.
With American Heritage School's advanced distance education program, distance is no longer an issue.
With an accredited LDS-oriented curriculum from kindergarten through 12th grade, your children can attend from anywhere in the world.
American Heritage School will prepare your child for more than a job.
It will prepare them for life.

There, the outlaw band made their final stand, okay.
Corral.
Oh, my dearest one must die.
Lay down my gun or take the chance of losing you forever.
Duty calls my backs against the wall.
Have you no kind word to say before I ride away?
Certainly a fitting song for Donald Trump's president versus Joe Biden.
Present condition.
Is it all over?
But the shooting for the president.
Has it all been cooked up and prearranged and they know exactly where it's going?
Or do they have contingency plans for dirty tricks?
And if.
And a revolutionary coup d'état filled with gunfire and everything else.
It knows what's going on, but I tell you what, I don't think any of us anticipated this curveball with Trump getting the COVID virus.
No, we didn't.
And if he recovers, or if and when, in time to continue campaigning, what kind of Donald Trump are we going to see?
I mean, this guy for the last four years has been completely maddening.
Yes, he has said and done things that no other elected official of any size office would do, much less the president.
But he'll follow that up with the most nonsensitive, nonsensical, counterintuitive actions you could imagine.
And of course, just the last month are replete with those examples, Keith, as we have covered on this show.
The condemning of the 1619 propaganda in schools saying anti-whitism 101 is canceled.
And then you follow that up with the platinum project that we talked about.
And then it was reverting to forum.
Classic Trump in the debate when he sidestepped the gotcha question about denouncing so-called white supremacy.
I, of course, don't think that Donald Trump has a problem with denouncing white supremacy.
It's just that he knows that what Chris Wallace and Joe Biden were trying to do was to punk him on national television during the debate.
And he knows as well as I do, as well as anyone does who's paying attention that white supremacism means any white person now, including the president.
The president was called a white supremacist in just about every article that covered the debate for his refusal to denounce white supremacy.
Well, they're talking about you, Donald.
Well, then he went on to Hannity a couple of days later and denounced the Proud Boys that denounced white supremacy.
So again, within a matter of weeks, he goes here, he goes there, he's up, he's down.
Well, see, his best instinct was one that was not told to him by his advisors, which was, look, all the violence and mayhem are being caused by the left, not the right.
That's the real answer.
He just should have stuck with that.
But that, see, that's what he needs to do.
He doesn't need to offend people like us who were among his first and best supporters.
We had, you know, so many of these people that are in the mainstream, they were never Trumpers.
You know, and Trump does something stupid like we have a never Trumper like Mitt Romney.
He endorses him for the Senate in Utah.
You know, my gosh, who else?
You know, Mitt Romney did everything he could to defeat the president.
And since he received his president's endorsement, he's been nothing but bad.
He's been nothing but a thorn in his side.
I really think that all of this is much ado about nothing, James, because I think everybody in America that is likely to vote has made up their mind by now as to who they're going to support.
I will say this, though, about that, Keith.
I do think, I mean, you are probably right.
There may be a few people.
I don't see how it's possible, but there could be a few people that could be one over.
Now, I'll tell you this: if Donald Trump would somehow come out and make the pledge to white America that he made to black America and say, universal basic income until this pretend threat is over.
If he does something like, well, I mean, come on, we got to be serious here.
He's not going to do that, but he could offer some more Gibbs to working class, blue-collar white voters that could get some of these people off the seats and back into play for him.
That could happen.
I do also think that you have had four years of constant, incessant, not one article that's been positive of the president from the legacy media.
I think that's probably depressed the number of people who are being honest when they're polled.
I think his poll numbers are probably higher, and you're probably getting some people saying, oh, yeah, I'm voting for Biden when they're really Trump voters because of the stigma, the negative stigma that would be attached with being a Trump voter.
So I think he's probably polling a little bit better than what he's showing, but it's still obviously very much a toss-up.
Well, look, I'll tell you an acid test.
In my neighborhood, which is deep in the heart of Memphis, and if you're deep in the heart of Memphis, you're never too far from a ghetto.
You see Biden signs out, not a whole lot, but some, proudly trumpeting their support for Biden.
But I've only seen one Trump sign.
Does that mean only one person in that whole neighborhood is going to vote for Trump?
No.
These people know that if Trump wins, they're allowed to let the hellhounds loose.
And, you know, if you had a Trump sign in your yard or a Trump bumper sticker on your car, you might be a target.
It's like the Passover in the Bible.
What do you have to do?
You had to put the blood on the blood of the lamb on the doorframe.
Except if you put a Trump sign in the yard, it'll be your blood on the doorframe when election night comes if he wins.
Yeah, for them, the Biden sign is the Passover blood.
Well, so again, I guess the question is, as we sit right now, how big of a deal is the fact that the president is currently in the hospital?
It's just too early to say.
I mean, we just don't know.
We're going to have to let this thing play itself out.
But I can't say that as I sit right here, it helps him necessarily in any way.
Well, I can say this.
What has happened over the past four years has convinced me that I have no real idea what people in other parts of the country like Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kenosha, Wisconsin, New York City, what they think.
From our vantage point here in Memphis, Trump's reelection is a slam dunk.
If Tennessee does not go for Trump, then, you know, wait for the next sign of the coming apocalypse.
The earth will spin out of its orbit.
Well, Tennessee is going to go for Trump.
Memphis won't.
What's the difference between Memphis and Tennessee?
Well, of course, demographics.
Politics is a racial head cap.
Well, see, Memphis is the only city in the state of Tennessee with a majority black population.
And that's why it's a Democratic stronghold.
But on the other hand, even here, you know, people don't think the way that they obviously think in places like Seattle or Portland or Los Angeles or Minneapolis or Chicago or New York.
Those people are totally, it's, you know, we're just two different people that don't understand or appreciate one another.
And that's why I say that my ancestors are right.
We really need to be at least two nations.
And maybe that will be the ultimate result of all of this.
If Trump wins, I've heard that one of the war game plans that had been financed by George Soros for the Democrats involves California seceding from the Union.
If they did, I would consider that a red letter day.
That's, again, some too good-to-be-true stuff.
But to show you the difference, we got this from our friend John over in the UK.
In London, he writes, the fine for not wearing a mask on public transportation is $4,100.
You read that right.
$4,100.
He sent that to me on Monday.
In New York City, it's a $50 fine.
In Tennessee and in Florida and in other places, they have dropped the restrictions entirely.
John sent me that on Monday.
By Friday, the fine for not wearing a mask on public transportation in London, England was $8,200.
Well, you know, that's crazy, but I'll tell you what, in Memphis, it's a Class A misdemeanor.
In other words, the most serious misdemeanor you can have just down from a felony, not to wear a mask when you go into one of these public buildings.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, TPC in demand, as we mentioned to you last week, we have been making the rounds with the fury right here before the election.
And if Saturday night live isn't enough for you here at TPC, let me remind you that I was on with Red Ice, Henrik and Lana, on Tuesday for live debate commentary.
We watched the debate in real time and shared with the audience our thoughts there on Red Ice.
You can go back to thepolitical cesspool.org and pull that up and watch it again, if you like.
Last Sunday, I was on the Real List Report with John Friend.
Last Tuesday, no, no, Tuesday was Red Ice.
Last Monday, Patrick Ryan show, or was it week before Tuesday?
It really all blurred together.
Patrick Ryan, there was on with us last Saturday here on TPC.
Full Moon Ancestry live stream there recently with Jason Kuna and Tim Burdock on with Sam Bushman Monthly.
Keith Alexander, she emailed us again wanting Keith for Dissonant Mama podcast.
We're going to get him on there before the election.
A lot of stuff going on, and we still have some more forthcoming.
So good to be.
Good to be respected and appreciated.
So many people out there do in our audience, and we are going to give you thanks tonight.
We are going to, in the second hour, while we are providing you with our post-debate recap, we're going to unpack it all and how the answers, the performance or lack thereof will perhaps impact this race as we move forward.
What's going on with the Proud Boys in QAnon, how they responded.
You're not going to believe it.
Folks, we're going to turn up the heat in the next hour.
But we want to give thanks to a lot of people out there.
I'm just going to read the cities.
But support from TPC during the month of September.
We wrapped up our second quarter, third quarter rather, fundraising drive.
Support coming in, of course, from Memphis, but also Atlanta, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Kerry, North Carolina, Norwood, Massachusetts, Fisher, Texas, Collierville, suburb here in Tennessee, Olive Branch, Mississippi, Riviera Beach, Florida, Ephreda, Washington, West Blockton, Alabama, London, England.
That's John we were talking about.
And Clive as well in the suburbs of London, Bluntville, Tennessee, Hazard, Kentucky, Callahan, Florida, Covington, Louisiana, Alberta, Canada, Beaumont, Texas, Perry, Florida.
Thank you.
We're going to continue.
That's just the beginning, ladies and gentlemen.
I love doing this once a quarter.
Reading off the names of the cities from which we have, not just listeners, but supporters.
And we're going to continue to do that in the second hour with our post-debate recap.
