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.
A very unusual show for TPC tonight, inso much as we did not feature a guest all evening.
I think it's only the second time this year we did that.
The only other time was on the 4th of July, which we actually broadcast live on Saturday, July the 4th.
And so we didn't want to encumber any guests who would have otherwise been out with their families.
I remember that night.
I left at the 8 o'clock hour to go out and shoot fireworks with mine after spending the earlier part of the day.
But that was the only other time.
And then tonight, of course, because with so much news, I just felt as though this was one of those rare instances in which Keith and I really needed those first two hours to unpack the ramifications of Trump's COVID diagnosis, which is what we did in the first hour, how it will impact potentially the election, how it will potentially impact the Supreme Court.
For all the cynics out there, of course, the new boss does always seem to be about the same as the old boss in terms of the overall trajectory.
But I'll tell you what, this time may or may not be different.
How non-committal is that of me?
But the second hour, of course, a long post-debate recap.
Keith and I, and we tackled, I think, we presented our focus on the issue of the race and violence in our cities, what they said, what they didn't say.
And then, of course, the whole proud boys, how they were injected into the debate, how they cucked and all of that.
Well, you know, comparing the proud boys with the Ku Klux Klan is like comparing the Mickey Mouse Club to La Cosa Nostra.
I do want to say two more things very quickly.
We're going to get to a clip.
Well, I'll actually go to the clip first before we get off the topic of the debate.
So Brother Nathaniel, no, Brother Nathaniel's not back on with us tonight.
Brother Nathaniel was with us a couple of weeks ago.
But he did do a short three-minute video, which we're going to play, that really will serve as, I guess, the capstone on our coverage of the debate.
So Brother Nathaniel here pointing out three instances during the debate, during the debate.
I'm getting all wrapped up in my cord somehow.
Jesus.
You're getting all wrapped up in your show.
Three instances in the debate where Trump could have really stuck it to Biden and Wallace.
Here we go.
Trump may be a brawler, but he's no debater.
He could have aced the debate with just a few zoomers.
First one's a no-brainer.
The Green New Deal will pay for itself as we move forward.
We're not going to build plants that, in fact, are great polluting plants.
Are you going to build the Green New Deal?
Pardon me?
You support?
No, I don't support the Green New Deal.
You don't?
Oh, well.
Well, that's a big statement.
I support you just the radical left.
I support the Biden plan that I put forward.
Okay.
The Biden plan, which is different than what he calls the radical Green New Deal.
All right, Trump could have zing back with same thing.
Once up on your side, the Washington Post chimed in that you indeed embrace the Green New Deal.
Then came Biden's Jewish-inspired lie.
And speaking of my son, the way you talk about the military, the way you talk about them being losers and just being suckers, my son was in Iraq.
He spent a year there.
He got the bronze star.
He got the conspicuous service medal.
He was not a loser.
Trump could have zing back with.
You're quoting Jeffrey Goldberg's lie in the Atlantic.
He couldn't cite a single source.
Even Bolton said it was a lie.
Keep on lying, Joe, and maybe Goldberg and his crowd will throw some campaign bucks your way.
Finally, Chris Wallace, Jew that he is, brings white supremacists out of the blue.
You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left-wing extremist groups.
But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland?
Trump could have turned it back on Wallace's Jewish head with, I didn't know Black Lives Matter, doing all the peaceful protesting was a white supremacist group.
And then add, as he did.
I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing.
So what do you mean?
What are you saying?
But Wallace the Jew and Jewish shill Biden keep pushing Trump against the wall.
Jewy is hell-bent, you know, on seeing the white race, the only bloc that could resist its power, decimated.
So what do you mean?
What are you saying?
I'm willing to do anything.
I want to see peace.
Let's do it, sir.
Say it.
Do it.
Hey, do you want to call him, what do you want to call him?
Give me a name.
Give me a name.
White supremacists and right-wing.
What would you like me to condemn?
White proud promises and right-proud supremacy.
Proud boys, stand back and stand by.
See how Wallace the Jew puts the screws on Trump.
Not once did he rag on Biden.
Not once did he put the screws on him.
Trump rightly validated proud boys who could potentially guard the poll stations from Democrat intrigues.
Wallace is a snake, and Biden is a well-rehearsed liar.
But Trump simply tells it like it is.
All right, so one debate down, two more to go, we think, maybe not anymore, with depending on if and when Trump gets out of the hospital, but your reaction to Brother Nathaniel's commentary, which again will end our discussion of this debate anyway.
Well, as we say here in the South, when you hit the nail on the head, you drive it straight.
Brother Nathaniel cuts through all the fog and does it.
And this whole thing about will you denounce white supremacists or racists or BLM or antifun, all this, this is, again, indicative of the fact that these guys are living the past.
In the past, white people tried to distinguish themselves as being good whites versus bad whites.
The Ku Klux Klan, the Proud Boys, any other group that had anything that was even approaching a sense of racial solidarity for whites were the bad whites.
If you basically hated your own race, you could claim to be a good white.
Well, racism, like love, is a many splendid thing.
It has changed over time.
It was invented in 1935 by Magnus Hirschfeld.
And by today, we now have systemic racism.
We have institutional racism, and we have white privilege.
Why is that?
Because you can look at the enemy.
You don't have to ask him.
You don't have to give him 20 questions and see how he comes out and score a test.
If you are white, you are a racist.
If you are white, you are a white supremacist.
And these whites that are protesting that they are not bad whites, they're just going to be shuffled off to the firing squad, just like Stalinist show trials.
These people need to get over it.
Right now, you are being attacked not because of your politics, but because of your race.
Cultural Marxists said that race was the real fault line in human society, and it is a fault line so big and glaring. that even the stupidest person can oper can comprehend it.
What is most amazing to me are all these so-called good whites that will try to argue with people like James and me saying that, what is race?
What is it?
You know, race is a social construct.
It's not real.
There's nothing more real than race, people, and everybody else in the world with a lick of common sense knows it.
We'll be right back.
Stay tuned, everybody.
You know something is wrong when the media, global corporations, and governments are all colluding on a narrative that just doesn't add up.
Do you seek truth no matter where it leads?
Want to understand how the world really works?
Then take the red pill and register for the Expo of the Year.
Come to G. Edward Griffin's Red Pill Expo, October 10th and 11th on Jekyll Island, Georgia, birthplace of the Federal Reserve.
And hear from Del Bigtree, G. Edward Griffin, Dr. Andrew Kaufman, David Ike, Alex Newman, Dr. Bradford Weeks, Sheriff Mack, John Rappaport, Tim Ray, and many more.
Register to attend or live stream at home with friends and family at redpillexpo.org.
That's redpillexpo.org because you know something is wrong.
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?

Dad, can you make him stop?
Honey, he needs to practice.
He's been at it an hour.
Well, just trying to be patient.
Dad, it sounds like a cat calling for help or something.
Worse, a basement full of cats.
Yeah.
You know, huh?
It is a little hard on the ears.
Not you, too.
Well, maybe we can all play a game.
Andrew, do you want to play a board game?
How about we watch a video?
Hide and seek?
Oh, I don't know.
I give up.
Maybe we could all just sneak out of the house.
Honey, he's nine years old.
We can't leave him home alone.
And we can make him practice with a sock.
Well, I guess we'll have to get some ice cream.
Did I hear someone say, ice cream?
Family, isn't it about time?
Oh, I see the practice hasn't hurt your ears.
Well, I'm a serious musician.
Funny that you never seem to get better on that thing.
Works every time.
From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Hey, where did all these cats come from?
To get on the show and speak with James and the gang, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
And now, back to tonight's show.
A couple of other pieces of correspondence from the TPC mailbag.
And folks, you know, we've been calling out some of the cities that sent in their support during our third quarter fundraising drive last month.
We're going to be sending out some gift packages to everyone who qualified at the appropriate level.
So be on the lookout for that.
We're going to do it as soon as we can.
But it's emails and feedback like this that really keep the wind in ourselves late at night when the demons come, and they do come.
James, the political cesspool is a voice for the majority of Americans and people.
The vast majority of people hold the same beliefs as you about God, family, religion, politics, and anything else important.
It's these genocidal antichrist freaks that control our media and politics that are the actual extremists.
In reality, you are the voice for the oppressed people worldwide.
You being denounced by Congress, which currently has an approval rate of 21%.
If there was a poll of your approval rating excluding people on psychotropic or illegal drugs, I'm sure it'd be much higher than 21%.
I'll have your back until we're both at room temperature and maybe even after that.
The check is in the mail.
Well, thank you so much.
And we know who that came from.
And you know, we love you, brother.
John in South Carolina, praying for your wife and family as you welcome the newest addition to the Edwards Klan.
Yes, John, as I mentioned, thank you for your support, my friend.
And that day could come as soon as Monday.
Monday could be the birthday.
It'll be about a month early, but with blood pressure concerns, I haven't been sleeping a lot lately, ladies and gentlemen.
A lot of stuff going on around here.
Just be careful throwing around that word clan.
This PLC will probably dig it out.
Yeah, right.
Well, I am the leader, of course, according to the Court of Appeals in Michigan.
But anyway, it could be as early as Monday.
I will certainly keep the TPC listening family aware of what's going on with my immediate family.
But first, let's shift one last time back to Amy Coney Barrett.
Is it Coney with an American?
It's actually Coney with an N. Really, okay.
On Coney Island.
In replacing, I'll read a quick excerpt from Brad Griffin.
In replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Amy Coney Barrett will soon become the fifth Republican nominee who has been confirmed at the Supreme Court in my adult lifetime.
There will be a 6-3 Republican-controlled Supreme Court.
What is there to be excited about with the Supreme Court, even with Gorsuk and Kavanaugh, has delivered nothing but a string of bitter defeats for social conservatives.
Every single time the Supreme Court has been given a chance to rule on a major social issue, whether it's abortion, affirmative action, sodomy, gay marriage, transgenderism, disparate impact, immigration.
It hasn't delivered any meaningful wins for social conservatives.
Maybe this time it will be different with Amy Coney Barrett in the Supreme Court with a 6-3 Republican majority.
But based upon what I've seen, I have every reason to doubt it.
It is more likely that Roberts and Gorsuk will evolve into liberals like we saw with the Bostock decision.
When the conservative legal movement put the justices on the Supreme Court and finally had the majority that could have made a difference on abortion and transgenderism, it went missing on the base.
I'm happy to be proven wrong.
I'll be pleasantly surprised, however, if a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court with Amy Coney Barrett on it actually doesn't just deliver more social liberalism.
If this majority doesn't overturn Roe versus Wade or change course on social issues, there's no reason to believe that one ever will.
You were talking a little bit more about the background.
Again, there is evidence to say that she is quite actually liberal in many ways.
But again, it's all up in question as to whether or not she'll even receive a hearing now with the COVID issue seemingly affecting every Republican at the same time.
But of course, there doesn't need to be a hearing.
All there needs to be is advising consent, which could take the form of written recommendations or comments from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
But if her fellow alumni at Rhodes College have anything to say about it, she wouldn't get there.
What do you know about that?
Well, you know, just like toadstools pop up in your front yard after a rain-soaked evening, there's been 1,500 Rhodes alums, people from like the 50s on up to now.
They probably had over 100,000 people graduate from that school, but they found a scant 1,500 that said that she doesn't represent them and she's terrible and they don't want her to, you know, get by with saying that the Rhodes family is behind them.
Well, the Rhodes family is behind her.
Our problem is that nobody that thinks like James and me and the members of our audience has any power in Washington.
As a result, the Republican presidents from Nixon on have appointed so-called conservatives to the bench that turned out to be pernicious liberals.
People like Lewis Powell under Nixon, John Paul Stevens under Gerald Ford, David Souter under George H.W. Bush.
And it goes on and on.
And the left never has any disappointment.
You know, they think they've elected Trotsky to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Instead, he turns out to be Lenin or something.
You know, there's never any disappointment in the bona fide liberalism of a Democratically chosen or appointed member of the Supreme Court, but there almost always is with Republican people.
Clarence Thomas was a very pleasant surprise.
He was picked because he was black and vaguely conservative, and it turns out he is a real bona fide conservative.
Scalia, another surprise package, but we have two out of about, what, 50, 60 years of appointments.
Now, Amy Coney Bryant is a Roman Catholic and she is against abortion, probably because that's the way she was raised as a Roman Catholic in the South back in those days.
Now, what gives me trouble about her are her two Haitian children that she has adopted.
Why does that concern me?
It concerns me because that is what's called virtue signaling.
And I've read up on virtue signaling, and virtue signaling is one of the indices of a narcissist personality.
It's where someone says, you've got to like me.
Look at this wonderful thing I've done.
Okay.
Well, if she really wants to put the welfare group of citizens, blacks, over whites, she will do it.
And she's indicated that she has a propensity to do that by these adoptions.
Now, she may ring the bell for them on abortion.
But, you know, what will happen if the Supreme Court knocks down Roe versus White?
It just goes to the states.
Blue states will be all for abortion.
Red states, probably most of them will say, no, we don't want it, which means that you might be inconvenienced to have to travel from Memphis, let's say, up to Illinois to get your abortion.
It's not going to bring it back to what it was like before Roe versus Wade, where every state had criminalized abortion.
Now, with Amy Barrett, you're going to get a polite, nice, ladylike woman.
She is not going to excite liberal activists.
On the other hand, people that really want us to undo a lot of the damage done by the Supreme Court and by Congress and by the presidents over the past 70 years are going to find that she is not going to come through on issues like affirmative action, for example.
You know, I lived affirmative action.
I had my career negatively impacted by affirmative action.
Basically, for me, affirmative action is my abortion issue with, you know, a lot of other people.
But I don't see anyone, anybody on that court with the possible exception of Clarence Thomas that would vote to overturn affirmative action, which could be done.
If you just read the clear language of the 1964 Civil Rights Act upon which the EEOC was created as the enforcement arm, and they're the ones that came up with affirmative action.
Alfred Bloomrose is the number two guy in charge.
It was his Italian hand in this, or Jewish hand, I guess you would say, that did that.
There's just, you know, there's no prospect for that because we were told that there was going to be meritocracy after they got rid of racial prejudice or racial favoritism for whites.
And white people said we can live with that.
But almost immediately, they went to affirmative action, which is racial discrimination against whites.
We'll see what she does about it if she can get a hearing with everybody in the Republican Party of any.
If she doesn't get a hearing, I hope that Trump just says, let's just go ahead and appoint her.
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said the president's condition was very concerning on Friday after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.
He said that he was taken to Walter Reed Medical Center as a precaution.
He also said the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care.
The president's doctor, Sean Connolly, painted a much brighter picture.
This morning, the president is doing very well.
The team and I are extremely happy with the progress the president has made.
Thursday, he had a mild cough and some nasal congestion and fatigue, all of which are now resolving and improving.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Twitter said that he spoke with the president and said he sounds well and is feeling better.
Former New Jersey governor and advisor to President Trump Chris Christie is also now in the hospital after testing positive for the virus.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he wants to cancel legislative work until October 19th because of coronavirus cases infecting three senators.
That, however, will not delay confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
The Senate Judiciary Committee still intends to begin that hearing on October 12th, as scheduled, despite many objections from Democrats.
Two Republican members of the Judiciary Committee, Utah Senator Mike Lee and North Carolina Senator Tom Tillis, announced they had the coronavirus and tested positive on Friday.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson has also tested positive for the virus.
Also, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie tested positive.
He tweeted that he's receiving medical attention at this time and will keep people apprised of his condition.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
And we're back with Jack to close out tonight's show.
Jack was away the last couple of weeks, and now he's back, but he is on vacation.
Now, Jack is on a fishing trip, and you will never guess of all the places one could have gone fishing where Jack ended up going fishing.
He's going to tell us, and he's going to tell us why.
How's it going, Jack?
I'm doing very good, and I just want to send you and all of our listeners my very best.
And I am in Kenosha, Wisconsin, just across the Illinois border out of Chicago for fishing.
But other reasons, Kenosha, Wisconsin is the scene of this latest Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter rioting and looting that just attacked a place.
And I'm just checking out and talking to locals and things like that.
So that's where I am.
The fishing, it went okay.
I got about five.
We got five fish, mostly brown trout, cooked them and things like that.
Fishing is good, but this is the scene in latest Black Lives Matter riot, and that's where I am.
Well, I'll tell you what, you could be doing worse things than trout fishing, that's for sure.
So that sounds good to me right now.
But this has certainly, Jack, been a week.
You've been on vacation, but perhaps you heard it in the news.
We've been covering it all night tonight.
An unusual show with no guests, but Donald Trump testing positive for COVID.
Not just Trump, mind you, but the White House staff almost.
Basically, the first lady, White House staff, all the key personnel, a couple of people that we're going to be shepherding on this Supreme Court process.
Obviously, we've been talking about the debates.
What do you make of the debate earlier this week?
What do you make of everything that's happened this week, the last couple of weeks?
One month to election in Chicago.
Well, we don't really have a lot of good options in Metro Chicago or Cook County.
Chicago County has been dominated by the Democratic Party for longer than Communist Party dominated Cuba.
And they, and it used to be the Democrats, used to be Mayor Daly and some methods.
I wish it wasn't that bad.
But now it's just, it's really the worst, the worst black homosexuals and Jewishes dominating the city.
A very bad year for Chicago.
We're on pace for 3,500 shootings and close to 700 murders.
And that's getting down to early 1990s levels or where I was in New York City.
So it's a very bad year.
We only have like one contested election, the state's attorney election where one of this George Soros-funded Black Lives Matter woman, terrible incompetent Kim Fox, was in there.
She just basically lets all criminals go looters and things like that.
So there's a competitive person in the state's attorney race, but that's about it.
So we don't really have a lot of good options.
I'm working on that.
But hopefully we'll just get through this terrible time and we've been through worse.
But yeah, it's a bad, I can't say it's a great, great time for our people, but we just got to get through it or flee or leave.
That's why I'm in Wisconsin instead of Chicago.
I'm sort of looking to check out.
What does Kenosha look like, Jack?
That's a good question, Keith.
It looked like Godzilla blew through town or what happened?
I mean, there's a burnout holes.
There's a lot of riots where there's burnt out cars and boarded up places that are.
But Kenosha is a beautiful place.
It's right on Lake Michigan and very clean, very good-looking people here, too.
Very German, Scandinavian, Nordic-looking people, good-looking women.
And I'm very impressed.
Fishing wasn't that bad.
We talked to locals and they saw what happened.
They got taken, but they're tough people and they defended their property.
And I give them very good credit.
So everyone I talk to say, this ain't happening again.
So they're going to defend their property and good for them.
So we can talk more about this Black Lives Matter.
They just seem like to get worse and worse.
That the Ferguson, Missouri with Michael Brown.
He did a strong-armed robbery of an Indian, one that provoked a fight with a police officer.
And then there was Minneapolis, George Floyd.
He's a drug-dealing drug addict.
He swallowed all these drugs, fentanyl and methamphetamines, and had a heart heart attack.
But this one in Kenosha, this low-life guy, Jacob Blake, he was a convicted rapist of a 14-year-old black girl.
They had a restraining order on him.
He had six illegitimate children.
He wasn't supported.
And so he went over to one of his ex-girlfriends.
What a hero.
They had a restraining order on him.
And then they called the police.
And he went over.
He was going to steal her car and take their children.
And what are the police supposed to do?
Let them just beat up the woman and steal the kids.
So they there.
He resisted arrest.
He violent.
And then they thought, you know, so it just keeps getting worse and worse.
And I can't believe that.
That's really the theme of this presidential election, I think, Jack, is that it's not that Trump is so good.
It's that the Democrats are so crazy.
Well, I actually want to ask you, Jack.
Well, first, here's supposedly the latest Zogby poll shows this is just one of about a thousand polls that everybody cites, but that Trump has cut the Biden lead to 49% to 47%.
Who knows if that's true?
I read that in the Washington Examiner.
They're about as reliable as everybody else, I guess.
But are you going to ride out the election in Kenosha?
Are you going to go back home?
No, I'm on my Airbnb ends in a day.
So I haven't been able to sell my place, beautiful place.
But you're looking for places to flee.
It's a big country.
And that's one of the great benefits, but also the faults of our country.
It's so big that people don't stand around and fight.
And that you can always flee.
You can flee the suburbs.
You can flee to a different state.
So there are lots and lots of people trying to get over our biggest.
And that's definitely been our way to do it for several generations now.
I don't know if the results have necessarily confirmed that that's a good tactic, but I guess it's better than living in downtown.
We're just building housing stock for blacks and other minorities to take over at bargain basement prices eventually.
Well, these, yeah, but it's a big country, and there's a lot of good places to go.
And Wisconsin, outside of just politics, Wisconsin has always been one of my favorite states.
It was settled by mostly German immigrants from the 1848 revolutions.
These are good socialists, farmers and workers that they lost to kind of aristocracy and things like that.
And Wisconsin is just a nice state, not too rich, too poor, good people.
I've always liked it.
Milwaukee's a rough place, but Momba's cities are there, but I still think there's lots of good places to go in the United States and try to find a good place to go.
And, you know, I'm not giving up, but maybe I'd like I had a great time in Africa, go there.
I might go to South America or something like that.
I hate this presidential election that goes for four years.
I mean, a good Swedish election goes for three weeks.
Our elections go for three and a half years.
I mean, what is with that?
And then our media is horrible.
Chris Wallace, you think he's the son of that horrible 60-minutes guy, Mike Wallace.
He like takes over the debate and starts saying that, oh, who elected that asshole?
Excuse me, that arshole.
He wasn't elected anything.
Why is he supposed to be the dominant person?
What a conservative.
He's a Fox News representative.
He's supposed to be the conservative moderator of the family.
Yeah.
So you can despair, but being a good person, you're not supposed to despair.
I got rid of my cable TV.
I tried to watch a little bit about that debate, but I just couldn't get going because Chris Wallace was just interrupting every minute.
And then Trump is looking fair.
And then, you know, I'm afraid a lot of our women just want someone that's nice.
Oh, he's making things nice.
Right.
So this old sleepy guy, oh, things will get better because Trump is too mean.
That's a good point, Jack.
Women like it's not a coincidence, Jack, that the first big initiative of the left in the 19th century was women's suffrage.
Oh, boy.
Haven't we all suffered enough?
Haven't we all suffered enough?
There's the line of the night right there, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, a rhetorical question.
That's why none of us have answered it.
But no, that was not a good move.
That whole thing.
That amendment, not a good one.
But yeah, so we were pilled along with prohibition.
Jack, I mean, way in on this.
Your crystal balls probably works as well as ours.
You think this COVID diagnosis is going to help hurt in the Trump presidency or what?
I mean, I don't think it helped because, I mean, one of the best things we had was that that sleepy Joe was just old and senile and he couldn't do anything.
So Trump was looking strong.
So now Trump is looking kind of sicker there.
No, I think we've got some serious curses upon our people.
I think I've got curses on me.
Some giant Confederate soldier, Wehrmacht soldier, just cursed it and said, you'll never have a nice woman in Chicago be nice to you.
And so I think I'm living under some curses.
So we just have to go through this stuff.
And it's horrible.
We try to do our best, but I would say try to concentrate on local elections.
Maybe you can have a tough sheriff, a county board chairman, and you hope the presidential election goes okay, but maybe it won't.
So, you know, we just got to do what we can.
We can't despair.
We can't give up.
We can't do that.
How's Iceland look?
How would Iceland look as a place to get out of town?
Yeah, Iceland looks pretty good.
Bulgaria.
Have you ever been there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I haven't.
The most I got was the Lake District in England, right up to Scotland.
So, no, I haven't traveled to Scandinavia.
That's pretty far north.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
I can handle it.
Extreme cold.
I can handle it.
Yeah, you're in Chicago, man.
I mean, right on the lake.
Yeah, it can get extremely cold in the spring walking down there by the lake.
We got to get up there before Jack moves.
Like, I've been there.
Well, let's go down the summit.
Political settle party up here.
Chicago is a great place to visit.
Even the North.
Why not?
Yeah, let's do it.
Why not?
We got to have some fun, right?
Hey.
Hey, when we come back, though, Jack is going to close out the show tonight by telling us how we can always look on the bright side.
Stay tuned.
If Planned Parenthood were what they publicly declare themselves to be, they would welcome transparency.
We all know why they hide, because we know what they hide.
We can confirm federal judges who follow the Constitution rather than reverse engineer their preferred policy outcomes.
The truth about abortion is spreading because of advances in medical imaging, because of brave journalists, tireless activists, compassionate doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
The rising generation of young Americans is the most pro-life in decades because they know too.
And one day soon, we will reaffirm our nation's principles in their dignified fullness and avow once again that all men are created equal.
All are entitled to life.

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

Cheer up, Boy.
You know what they say?
Some things in life are bad.
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble.
Give a whistle.
And this will help things turn out for the best.
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the light side of life If life seems jolly rotten There's something you forgot and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing When you're feeling in the dumps Dappy silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the ping and always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life
For life is quite absurd and guess the final word you must always face the curtain with a bag forget about your sin give the audience a quin enjoying ladies and gentlemen but that was probably the first time I've smiled this whole show.
You could hear the song there.
I was watching it in the studio as we played it locally and that's they're actually singing that song in the Monty Python movie Life of Brian as they are being crucified.
So anyway, a more upbeat happy note to end tonight's show, Jack.
Why did you pick it?
Why did we play it?
That is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I think just the work of John Cleese and the Monty Python people is just brilliant all along.
They're so educated, so smart.
They're almost as smart as us, you know, here at the political cesspool.
But they know their history very, very well.
And this is a story, a very interesting history about the Roman time of occupied Jewish Palestine, the revolts, and things like that.
It got a bad rap.
Some people thought it was any Christian, but I don't think that it was.
That Jesus Christ only appeared for about 10 or 15 seconds in this movie.
He was presented honorably there.
And then their view is an interesting view.
It's what my view is positive Christianity, that the Roman world was a good one and there's intrigues.
If I had about a month, I could talk about the religious and historical issues of there.
But I highly recommend this movie, The Life of Brian.
And then also just the song.
It's kind of fun.
Things are rough.
They're getting crucified.
We're getting crucified everywhere here in the United States of America.
So we just have to keep a stiff upper lip and try to keep a good sense of humor because I think that's one of our best weapons in this totally humorless, politically correct, cultural, Marxist Black Lives Matter, Antifa, terrible, occupied media.
They're horrible.
And they're so bad, but one of the most things is they just don't have a sense of humor.
And if you keep a sense of humor and positive and get up every morning and be nice to people and give our enemies, you know, show them our middle finger and stiff upper lip and try to just try to have a joke or have a beer because we're living in rough times.
Well, I'll tell you, Jack, you're more right than you know.
Bob Whitaker, that was something he would always say, is that they hate to be mocked.
They hate to be ridiculed.
The liberals, the left, the establishment, they do not have a sense of humor.
They do not, they want to be feared.
They want to be taken seriously.
But when everything that they push is so ridiculous and antithetical to common sense and Jesus.
And they're such pajama boys, you know.
Yeah, I mean, but you got to laugh at them.
You got to have a laugh.
And that's what I love about music.
I love music.
Music can instantly put you in a good mood.
Something with a happy beat, and that certainly did.
And you're right.
You know, John Cleese, John Cleese is actually one of the more uncups.
It's not saying very much.
I mean, you've got to understand, relatively speaking here, compared to other famous actors, John Cleese is relatively uncocked and says some things that we can find on the common ground with.
Eric Idol, who's actually the lead role in that particular part of the movie, has always been a good one, too.
So I don't know about politics, but I've always liked him.
Well, I was not on the Monty Python bandwagon back in the early 70s.
I remember I went over to Oxford and everybody, it was very cool to like Monty Python, but I guess I'm showing my working class roots.
I like Benny Hill better.
Yeah, Benny Hill's great.
It's not just not as cerebral.
And Benny Hill is funny.
It's slapstick and pretty sexist.
But Monty Python, I think the movie.
All the things you love, right?
Yeah, but the movie, the Monty Python and Holy Grail, but the life of Brian is a little bit more than just a regular TV show because they were addressing extremely serious historical and religious issues in the life of Brian.
Benny Hill wasn't doing that, that's for sure.
No, no, he really wasn't.
He wasn't.
It was slapstick the three stooges with the sexy women showing their English accent.
Yeah, no, it was.
But I would really encourage our listeners to get the life of Brian and look at that.
And I don't think that it is anti-Christian at all.
I think that it is.
It's a positive Christian one, which is a view, which is my view, that the Roman classical world was a good world and they're trying to keep peace in this area in Palestine where these backward barbaric people that are doing all these crazy things.
And then there's Jesus Christ who's a good reformer.
He's honest, but the regular people aren't listening to him.
They're doing all these things.
Well, you know, that's a historical argument about what happened with the destruction of the temple and whatnot in AD 70.
Basically, the Romans had a belly full.
They said, you are the most troublesome province in the entire Roman Empire.
We're always having to send troops over here.
We're not going to be so cruel as to kill you all, but you have forfeited your right to have a nation.
So we're going to disperse you.
They let people keep their religion, but these Zionists there were doing rebellions, and there were these Masonic prophesies.
And so they had this prophesied.
Well, that's what the death of Christ was about.
Basically, the Jewish religious leader, Caiaphas, thought he was a heretic, thought he was dangerous, particularly when he overturned the tables in the temple.
You know, that's when he slipped out and started murdering the money changer.
You know, I deserve everybody changer than George Python.
So basically, they said, see, Pontius Pilate was the governor.
He had to enforce the civil law, but the religious, Jewish religious leaders like Caiaphas wanted him to execute Jesus.
And what did Pontius Pilate do?
He said, I find nothing wrong with what this means.
Yeah, he interviewed the guy, and he said, this is the first honest person I've met since I've been down in this terrible place.
But they got him.
But these Talmudist guys didn't want their Messiah was supposed to be a king that would elevate the Jewish people and make other people, including us, slaves to them.
They didn't want this Prince of Peace guy.
And so that's a historical thing that's still operating.
And you know why?
Let me just say this.
What would have happened to Pontius Pilate if he hadn't a Caesar?
Remember, he says, I washed my hands of this innocent man's blood.
If he hadn't, the implicit threat from the Jewish authorities is we're going to rebel.
And they rebel, Rome and Caesar are going to have to send over an expensive contingent of soldiers to put down the rebellion, maybe about 5,000 lost lives in it.
And then they would have summoned Pontius Pilate to Rome.
And they would have said, what was this all about?
He said, well, there was this one prisoner that the Jewish authorities wanted me to execute, but I didn't think he was guilty, so I let him off.
Caesar would have said, you got to be kidding me, right?
You know, that's, and they probably would have put Pontius Pilate to death.
Well, that's why he did it.
Of course, he didn't want the blowback from Rome.
But hey, real quick, since we're on the topic of Rome, and since Jack interjected it tonight with that clip, it was a couple of weeks ago I shared with you that I am reading a book about the Roman Empire to my daughter as part of our homeschooling curriculum.
And I had shared some passages from that that I thought just so accurately applied to America.
There was something that I learned, even I learned, while reading to her just a few days ago with the presidential election coming up, you may find this interesting.
Just trivial knowledge, but the word candidate comes from the Latin word meaning clothed in white, a reference to the fact that ancient Roman political candidates often wore white togas or robes.
The related word candid, meaning outspoken or sincere, comes from the Latin candidas, which means shining white.
Well, what does this have to do with Tony Orlando's song Candido?
Was Candida supposed to be a tie yellow ribbon better than that one?
Jack, final word to you, buddy.
Oh, I would say, like, everything sounds more important and educated in Latin.
My view is that everything sounds better in French.
So that stomach flu, coronavirus, alimony payments sound better in French.
So I didn't include our people there to try to learn some French.
I'm trying to learn Dutch Africana.
We live in a rough, terrible time, but let's try to keep a good sense of humor.
Let's be intelligent and let's try to get through this rough and bad time.
Obviously, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
We live in a rough, terrible, this election is horrible.
But let's try to be intelligent.
Let's try to be positive.
And let's try to keep a good sense of humor and enjoy life and through this.
And I think that's the best thing that we can do.
Well, it's a good way to end tonight's show.
What will happen between now and next Saturday?
God only knows.
I mean, who would have anticipated the news that has come down this week?
We'll see.
Will the president be alive next week?
If he does, and he didn't die from COVID, I can tell you that much.
