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.
An appropriate song, ladies and gentlemen, as I welcome the newest member of my family to the world.
Caroline Louise Edwards was born on Monday, October 5th at 4.55 p.m. in the afternoon.
She is the daughter of James and Danny, the granddaughter of Jimmy, Susan, Lance, and Dana, the great, great-granddaughter of Mac, Wilma, Billy Sue, James, John, and Louise.
And let me tell you, I couldn't be more overjoyed.
What a miracle, what a privilege, what a blessing it is to have children and to grow your family.
Now, three, she is the sister, of course, of Isabel and Henry, our other two children, and now there were five in the Edwards household.
What a week.
What a blurry, blurry, sleepless week.
It is no exaggeration to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that I have not slept more than three hours consecutively at any time since last Sunday night.
That is the truth.
And in fact, my wife and daughter are still at the hospital.
Now, don't get me wrong.
We would have been playing a tape tonight if they were not completely and entirely out of the woods.
But it was a unique baby welcoming experience.
Our daughter was born a little bit prematurely at 37 weeks.
Her original due date was October the 22nd.
And because of my wife's blood pressure issues, she always runs high blood pressure near the end of her term.
And we were going to have scheduled a C-section on October the 12th, which was Columbus Day, which I thought was mighty appropriate.
But at the last doctor's visit last Monday, October 5th, just didn't get the results that they wanted.
So they decided to go ahead and move up the event, the date, a week earlier.
And as a result, at 37 weeks, her lungs just weren't quite mature enough yet to handle the stress of the world, as it were.
So she had to go down to the NICU.
She's still in the NICU, but it does look like everybody is going to be released tomorrow.
So we will be coming home tomorrow.
And this, when I left the hospital a couple of hours ago to come to the studio tonight, it was the first time I have left the hospital since we checked in last Monday.
My family comes first.
They will always come first.
But I want you to know, and I hope that this action further proves it, how important you are to me as well, ladies and gentlemen.
I will be blazing a trail right back up to that hospital as soon as we get done with the program tonight.
I am so thankful to have you as part of my family as well.
You know how much you mean to us, to all of us.
You know how much we love you.
And it is my honor, truly, it is, to share with you this news.
And that's how I wanted to open up tonight's show this Saturday evening, October the 10th.
It is great, particularly great, especially great to be here with you tonight.
It's a shame, of course, to welcome a child to such a fractured world.
I think that one day there will be a generation that curses the people responsible for the world that we now live in.
We had not too long ago at all, certainly within the lifetime of our own grandparents, a very safe world, very decent world, a high trust world.
And we gave away our children's inheritance.
And for what?
Why would anyone do that?
Why would you want to have a world where you will have a baby who will be hated because of who they are and the color of their skin and to be told by media and by schools and by even churches now that there's some sort of a blood libel there and that they are the manifestation of evil on this planet?
No, in fact, they are the manifestation of goodness on this planet.
The people like Russell Moore in the Southern Baptist Convention, I hope one day that his name will be cursed and be held responsible for this.
But all I can do is promise my daughter that I will fight for her and that I will raise her right.
New life deserves new hope and hope will endure.
As I once heard it in a movie, as trivial as that may sound, victory goes to those who believe it in the most and believe in it the longest.
So we're going to believe.
Welcome to the world, baby Caroline.
I love you.
I will fight for you.
I will raise you right.
And you will be.
You will look back on a life that I believe will be well-lived.
I can't wait to show you things and take you places and just give you the kind of upbringing that is truly the only privilege a child can actually have.
The only true privilege a child can have is the privilege of being born into a family with two loving and stable parents who will provide for her or him and protect them and care for them.
And that's, of course, what I'm going to do.
It was what I have done so far with our other two children, and this one will be no difference.
Thank you, God, for this blessing you've given me, and thank you, God, for giving me the ability to come and share it with such a wonderfully supportive listening audience tonight.
And with that said, let's get down to business.
So, of all weeks, of all weeks, the week that I have a baby, old Miss is playing Alabama.
So, you know where Keith is tonight.
He's out in Oxford, and that's okay.
I mean, I talked to Keith.
Keith would have stayed if I had asked him to stay, but I said, don't worry about it, Keith.
Go on down to Oxford and do the Lord's work down there.
But it didn't give me a lot of time to prep.
I mean, obviously, I've been very much preoccupied and had my attention focused on where it should have been focused this week.
So I had to call in the heavy hitters tonight.
That's what I did.
Not a lot of prep.
We're going to see if after 16 years I'm a true radio natural or not.
No prep whatsoever.
I did make two phone calls to Peter Brimelow and Jared Taylor, who are going to be back on the broadcast tonight to break down current events and political trends as we race towards Election Day.
So if I can't put together a good show with those two guys, then you're tuned into the wrong broadcast.
I think it's going to be a fantastic show, even in a very unusual week.
In the third hour, Sam Bushman will be calling in from Jekyll Island, Georgia.
He's all the way over there on the East Coast.
What's he doing in Jekyll Island?
Well, we'll tell you.
And we'll tell you in the third hour.
Jack Ryan will be on to close the show with us at the end of the third hour as we present a tribute and a salute to Christopher Columbus.
Don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, Columbus Day is, as I mentioned, on Monday.
So get ready to remember one of our great heroes.
We will be right back.
Got a lot to talk to you about.
It's going to begin next.
You're listening to the Political Sessible.
I'm James Zegward.
right back.
My brother and two other boys were the ones that got in the car with her.
And she was drunk.
The road that goes to her house is like really windy.
And she was taking that road at 80 to 100 miles per hour.
And heading to the road areas, her door flung open.
She ran out across the street to get away from it.
And the other three boys were trapped in it.
And the car exploded.
And then when my mom found out about it, she called me at work.
I don't care what you have to do.
Just get up here to the hospital.
I parked my car and I went inside.
They took us back to this little room.
My mom told me that Jake had been killed.
I erased it.
The other people excluded like, well, you can drink, but just be careful when you drink, you know?
So I don't want anything to do with it because it took my brother away from me.
A public service message from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I believe there will come a time when we are all judged on whether or not we took a stand in defense of all life from the moment of conception until our last natural breath.
As a teenager, I gave my first public speech in my church.
My hands shook, my heart pounded.
I thought to myself, I can't do this, but somehow I did.
And because I wanted to talk about things that were important, I persisted.
I chided my church as a senior in high school for not seeming to care about the not yet born, for looking the other way and for not taking a stand on life.
I will be in earnest.
I will not equivocate and I will not excuse.
I will not retreat an inch and I will be heard.
One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life.
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.

That's American-Heritage.org.
Look at the night, and it don't seem so lonely.
We fill it up with only two.
And when I hurt, hurting runs off my shoulders.
How can I hurt when holding you?
One.
Touching one.
Reaching out.
Touching me.
Touching you.
Sweet God.
The time's never seen so good.
I'm feeling glad to be leaving.
Well, I'll tell you one more thing about the experience we had at the hospital this week.
Number one, it was fantastic.
The most incredible birth experience.
Obviously, it's a different experience for me than it is for my wife.
This was her third cesarean.
But the staff was just tremendous.
We've never had a NICU stay before.
And in the NICU, they do a little visitation every three hours.
And so we were there every three hours.
And so you're not sleeping much.
That's around the clock, three hours.
And I think at some point it felt like I was just a reanimated zombie just going down there at some, you know, going through the motions.
But it was wonderful to be present and wonderful to have a whole week up there where it was no distractions.
But I just want to thank everybody who's not listening tonight up there at the hospital, of course, but for being a part of this and for helping bring my daughter into the world.
We've got a lot of thank yous.
By the way, there's been so many people out in the audience.
We made mention of the fact, put a little thing up on Twitter about this a couple of days ago.
It seems like everybody in the political CESPOL family of listeners has reached out.
Thank you so much.
I'm behind on emails, obviously, but thank you for everyone who's sent in encouraging words of support.
We've got some letters I want to read, but I want to read them to Keith, or rather with Keith when he's here, when he's back next week.
So we're going to save that.
And then some final shout outs to donors who put a little tip in the jar there at the very end of the last quarter's fundraising drive in September that we didn't get to mention last week.
So we'll save that all for next.
We're going to read some more letters, listener correspondence, and that's what we're going to do when Keith gets back.
Now, with regards to last week's show, I had a feeling last week's show wasn't going to age very well just because of the fact that it was such a fluid turn of events there.
But I certainly didn't expect it to go the way it did.
So you literally went, what was it, a week ago Tuesday, Trump is at the debate with Joe Biden, the first presidential debate, perhaps now the only presidential debate, the way it's going.
We'll get to that.
But he's there on Tuesday.
Then on Friday, he announces he has coronavirus, or at least has tested positive for coronavirus.
He goes to the hospital over last weekend, over the course of the last weekend.
And then like two days later, he's at the White House taking off his mask and doing a salute, which I actually very much liked.
I thought that was a strong aesthetic.
I thought it was a strong visual, good optics, to use the parlance of our times.
But that is an interesting case study, to be sure.
You go from initial diagnosis to hospital stay to back at work all in less than a week.
Now, I have not seen any sort of report that can rival that.
But J.F. Gareppi, who is a friend of ours, brings up the point.
Well, I'll just read what he wrote.
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you leftists.
These are the people who were wondering a few years ago if an HIV positive person had a moral duty to reveal to their sexual partners that they had HIV.
And that was a thing.
I remember that.
It was like, you know, you don't have to, you know, it's your personal health.
You know, you don't have to share the fact that you carry AIDS with anybody you might infect through fornication.
You don't have to do that.
But when Kaylee McEnaney went out without a mask after supposedly testing positive for coronavirus, they were saying how reckless this was.
It was like they were going to bring charges of attempted murder up against her.
And then Nancy Pelosi, I think we may have mentioned this last week.
I don't think this actually had happened yet, but Nancy Pelosi pretending that they can get Trump on the 25th Amendment because he's incapable of executing his duties because he caught this cold, whereas Ruth Bader Ginsburg was dying of stage four cancer for years, and they never thought that that impaired her work, her disastrous work on the Supreme Court.
But again, that's what we're up against.
So the whole thing with the vice presidential debate, let's cover that real quick because I don't know if I'll cover that at all with either of our guests who are coming up in the very next segment.
We'll have Jared Taylor for the remainder of this hour, Peter Brimelow for the entirety of the second hour.
And I was talking to both Jared and Peter on the phone earlier, and I think we've got a good agenda lined up.
I think you're going to enjoy these guys, as you always do when they appear.
Brad Griffin, I think, summed up the vice presidential debate as succinctly and as comprehensively as one needs.
Kamala Harris was an unlikable blankety blank, as usual.
Mike Pence was a vanilla mainstream conservative, as usual.
White supremacy came up again.
Immigration wasn't on the agenda again.
The most interesting part of this forgettable debate was when a bug landed on Pence's head.
If you didn't catch it, you can watch it.
We posted the thing at our website, thepoliticalsuppestpool.org, along with Brad's hot take.
I did watch it.
I watched it up at the hospital.
Parts of it, and the parts I missed, I revisited on YouTube.
Yeah, I'll say this.
My take on this is even though Pence will never say anything that really gets us excited, he is a smooth operator.
I was talking to Keith earlier this week, and Keith said, you know, you got to tell him he's as slick as a peeled onion.
Indeed, he is, Keith, one of Keith's southernisms there.
Keith also said, we were talking about my wife having her third child.
He said, can you imagine what the Duggars must be like?
She's spitting them out like watermelon seeds.
I do not know how they manage 20-plus kids or however many they've had.
But anyway, Mike Pence, he is certainly in command and in control.
He has a great demeanor, a leadership capability there, even though he's obviously slavishly devoted to Israel and on board with the whole race as a social construct and all of that stuff.
I'm not saying he's our guy, but in watching him against Kamala Harris, I certainly favored him.
That's for sure.
And to watch a woman, to watch Harris so rudely and smugly say, I'm speaking.
I'm speaking.
A woman should never, ever correct or speak over a man.
You know, obviously, Mike Pence couldn't respond to this, but I will tell you how it should have been responded.
A man is speaking right now.
That's what you say.
A woman never should interrupt a man.
Pence is loyal.
He's a company man, that's for sure.
He is Trump's guy.
When so many people have abandoned Trump, and in many cases, not for the reasons we might, but just because of political expediency, he has stood by there.
And I'll tell you another thing I like about Pence.
Pence vacations at the very same place that we go to every year down in Sanibel, Florida.
In fact, for anybody who's ever been to Sanibel, there are two restaurants there that are absolutely must-eats, and that is Grandma Dots and The Mucky Duck.
And there are pictures of Pence all over both of those restaurants.
It was interesting.
You know, we go down there every year and he goes down there.
Anyway, I'm not saying that's a connection by any stretch, but it does make me like him a little bit more.
I don't like him much, but I certainly like him much better than Kamala Harris.
And I think he appointed himself well in an otherwise dull debate that really won't probably move the needle in any direction one way or another with regards to the presidential election.
Will there be another debate with Trump?
We'll ask Jared Taylor that in a minute.
I think that Trump did do the right thing in refusing to participate in a Zoom-style virtual debate.
I don't know.
We'll see what our guests think about that.
When we return, Jared Taylor, followed by in the second hour, Peter Brimelow of V-Dair.
Stay tuned.
We'll continue right after this.
Suing Liberty.
Constitution is our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
This is USA News.
President Trump spoke to supporters at the White House on Saturday afternoon, his first public event since being hospitalized with COVID-19 a little more than a week ago.
Well, thank you very much.
And keep that enthusiasm going.
Get out and vote.
We got to vote.
We got to vote these people into oblivion.
Vote them into oblivion.
Got to get rid of them.
One attendee to the event says, what's important to him?
When illegals come into the community, they're going straight to the black neighborhoods.
They don't go into Georgetown, Bebley Hills, or places like that.
We have to fight for those resources.
So I think if we can really get a handle on illegal immigration, it'll really help out the black community.
Meanwhile, Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden was campaigning in Erie, Pennsylvania Saturday.
But our farmers, just like our union members and anyone who actually does an honest day's work, see him and his promises for what they are.

Hurricane Delta delivered strong winds and heavy rain to much of South and Central Louisiana Friday night, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of homes across the Gulf Coast.
And right now, Delta's a tropical depression, still raining, still threat of flash floods inland.
And the state and our partners in the parishes are doing damage assessments as we speak.
Peter Gaynor with FEMA reminds us safety first when generating your own power.
We've had numerous common monoxide poisonings after disasters.
And again, we need to keep you safe in these really critical hours until it's all clear and safe to come out.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn't like President Donald Trump's roughly $1.8 trillion stimulus proposal.
On Saturday, Pelosi called the counteroffer Trump made insufficient and amounted to one step forward, two steps back in negotiations.
This is USA Radio News.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dine at 1-866-986-6397.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the program as we bring to you now one of two heavyweight guests for your program this evening.
He is the one and only Jared Taylor, founding editor of American Renaissance, author of Paved with Good Intentions, White Identity, If We Do Nothing, among others.
He is the most frequently interviewed guest we have ever welcomed over the course of the last 16 years and running.
So suffice it to say, it's always a delight to welcome him back.
Jared, good evening.
Well, good evening.
I was wondering what you meant by heavyweight.
I'm Mr. Heitz Trent at about 165 pounds.
I thought you knew something about me that I didn't know, but it's always important.
Why not?
Thank you so much.
Certainly I meant intellectual heavyweight.
Indeed.
Intellectual heavyweight.
I appreciate that.
And always a fan favorite.
So, Jared, less than four weeks to Election Day, when you look out and survey the political landscape as it stands this October 10th, what do you see?
Well, one thing I see for sure is the press going absolutely all out to describe our president in the vilest terms.
It's so transparent now.
The idea of news gathering is just gone.
It's presidential smearing.
That seems to be what they're up to.
And I'll just have to see.
Even if President Trump loses, he will probably get some 60 million votes.
And to me, any sign that people are ignoring the mainstream media is very, very encouraging.
I would bet, you know, I haven't made a survey of it this year.
I know that four years ago, I looked into the number of newspapers that endorsed Hillary Clinton and the ones that endorsed Donald Trump.
And I think maybe four endorsed Trump and 500 endorsed Hillary Clinton.
And Donald Trump won anyway.
This is great when people are prepared to stick their thumb in the eye of our overlords in the media.
I think that's a wonderful thing.
So we'll have to see what happens.
Well, it's certainly a wonderful thing, and I'm glad that you brought that up.
How much intrinsic value is there out there?
We haven't necessarily been able to capitalize on it in any tangible form.
But when the president has called all of these heinous names, up to and including white supremacist, neo-Nazi, all of the slurs, racist, obviously, every day, in almost every article, he's called that.
All of the same slurs that we are libeled with and slandered by.
Does that help wake up the greater white community?
I think it does.
And I think one of the reasons why the media and various institutions are so happy to trot out the word white supremacist is because the word racist has lost its sting.
White supremacists used to be a very rare word.
20 years ago, nobody complained that, I don't know, the guy, oh, Furman, Mike Furman, the guy in the trial.
O.J. Simpson, yeah.
O.J. Simpson.
Nobody called him a white supremacist.
They just called him a racist.
But nowadays, they would for sure call him a white supremacist because the word racism just doesn't mean anything anymore.
And I think that's probably happening with white supremacists.
But the other side, it is just extraordinary the way they pull out all the stops and blame Donald Trump over and over and over again for stimulating white supremacy.
Just today, I was listening to National Public Radio.
I tune in from time to time to know exactly what I'm not supposed to think.
You and Sam Dixon, I tell you.
Yes, well, it's good to know.
It's good to know what the other side thinks and thrills to.
I consider it a kind of intelligence gathering experiment.
Well, they had this lady from the Department of Homeland Security in the Trump administration initially.
She didn't last all that long, but she was in for a while.
And she was saying that this Michigan plot to kidnap the governor and attack the state house, all that is stimulated by Donald Trump's irresponsible pronouncements about how we got to take back Michigan, liberate Michigan.
Well, who on earth is ever going to believe that those scruffy, mostly anarchists, it looks like, thought to themselves, oh, Donald Trump wants us to do this.
The FBI will help.
Nobody thinks that.
And the idea that somehow Donald Trump is responsible for that.
But all these millions of good little NPR listeners, I think they listen to that stuff and say, yes, that's right.
That's right.
Donald Trump is to blame.
But anyway, but more and more of us don't.
More and more of us listen to better sources of information, namely the James Edward Show.
Well, thank you, Jared.
And of course, when you're on, we have twice the audience, so we appreciate that as well.
But, okay, so that's what's going on out there right now.
I want to hit as many.
You know, it's just so incredible.
Just a parenthetical departure very quickly.
It's just so incredible to think back how fast the last four years have gone.
I don't want to waste time dwelling on it, but I mean, it seems like yesterday and with the snap of the fingers, you and I were having this conversation, can Trump beat Hillary at this exact time?
And of course, we certainly featured much more.
Our organizations and our outlets featured much more in the 2016 election.
But it seems like 2016 was yesterday, and now it's today, and there was no time in between, except for Charlottesville, of course.
Anyway.
Well, you know, the last time around, I think that the other side discovered that, oh, my gosh, people like James Edward, Jared Taylor, and all these wicked people are supporting Donald Trump.
And so they made a huge deal about it.
And I thought their calculation was, boy, when the American electorate learns that people like these loathsome insects are going to vote for Donald J. Trump, now we know what horrible racist he is.
And I thought they were convinced they were going to hurt him by doing that.
Now, whether they hurt him or helped him, I don't know.
But they certainly brought us to the attention of a lot of people that never heard of us before.
But you're right.
They have not played that trick this time.
And we'll just have to see.
Now, I know that many of your listeners are disappointed in the things the president has not done.
But I think in some respects they are insufficiently grateful for the things that he has done.
And I did want to talk, if you don't mind, I know you have an agenda for this program, but just briefly point out some of the really clever things that he's done.
You know, Princeton President Christopher Eisegruber, just last month, was going through this usual denunciation of his own university.
Racism, the damage it does to people of color, persists at Princeton.
Racist assumptions from the past remain embedded in the structures of the university itself.
You know, all that blather that they always give.
And the Department of Education said, oh, really?
There's racism there?
You are constantly telling us there's no racism, and that's why you qualify for federal funds.
We're going to review this.
I thought it was hilarious.
Absolutely hilarious.
I remember that.
Yes, of course.
No Democrat's going to do that.
Now, I don't know what will come of it, but I think it is great for the United States government to say, oh, really?
Racism?
You claim you don't discriminate.
But if racism is embedded in your university, we better take a look there, Mr. Eisgruber.
And this kind of thing that he's done, and I suppose you heard about Microsoft promised it was going to double the number of African Americans in leadership by 2025 and going to spend $150 million doing it.
And the Department of Labor said, well, hold on.
That sounds like illegal quotas to us.
No Democratic administration would ever dream of such a thing.
And these may be kind of window dressing.
We don't know how far they'll go.
But I think it is great that a government body is actually holding these people's feet to the fire.
Well, Jared, you're so right about this.
And it has been maddening over the course of the last four years to cover Trump's presidency because he will have days so high that President Taylor might not could have done much better with regards to, just for an example, obviously his defense, his full-throated defense of the Confederate Army bases.
Just one example.
And then, of course, he had a very good day a few weeks ago with the 1619 Project denouncing that propaganda, only to be followed up by this platinum plan for black America, only to be followed up by a debate performance where he sidestepped the gotcha question about the proud boys in a classic Trump way.
I mean, there's days where you think, man, wow.
And then there's other days where he just leaves you scratching your head.
And, of course, we're honest, and we give him credit when credit is due, and we hold him accountable when he falls short of the standard.
And there has been a pretty even balance of that, I think, over the course of his presidency.
But there is no doubt about it, and I have said it in no uncertain terms.
He's got to win.
We've got to vote for him.
We came out about a month ago and just said, you know, forget it all.
He's certainly better than Biden, and only one of those two men will be president in November.
Well, as you know, I'm the president of New Century Foundation, and we are a 501c3 organization, and we cannot endorse political candidates.
So I'm going to say, all of you fellas, get out and vote, but I'm not going to tell you who to vote for.
I can talk about the policies of both sides.
Yes, I can.
But I cannot encourage you to vote for a particular candidate.
Now, one thing, I was a little bit surprised that President Trump in the debate did not, well, of course, immigration hardly came up at all.
Why didn't he turn to Joe Biden and say you were on stage with nine other people who wanted to be the Democratic nominee?
And the moderator asked, Would you give free medical care to legal immigrants?
And you raised your hand.
Do you really believe that?
Yeah.
Well, you know, of course, we spent a full show nearly doing the post-debate recap.
You were on Red Ice.
I was on that night as well.
That's been talked about, but that's a good point.
We're going to dive into the immigration issue much more extensively with Peter Brimelow in the next hour, but I've got several things I must cover with Jared Taylor first, and we'll do that right after these words.
Scott Bradley here.
Most Americans are painfully aware that the nation is on the wrong track and in dire straits.
Unfortunately, most political pundits only nibble around the edges when they claim to address the issues.
Even worse, many of the so-called solutions are simply rewarmed servings of what got us into the mess we currently face.
And the politicians think we're so gullible and naive that we'll buy their lies that they have reformed and now understand where they led us astray.
Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that they simply wish to continue to hold power.
The solution to America's challenges is found in returning to the timeless principles found in the United States Constitution.
My book and lecture series will reawaken in Americans an understanding and love of the principles which made this nation the freest, most prosperous, happiest, and most respected nation on earth.

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 SP 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.

Do we reflect about our future and where we as a culture are moving?
Do we keep our trust in our jobs, homes, money, life necessities, investments, stock markets?
Do we believe that our 401ks or other retirements will always be there and that the current economic order will recover?
Is the economy going to recover and life return to normal?
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medjagoria.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're back with Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, and you know it, and I know it.
You can count on your fingers and toes the number of organizations and individuals who have stood the test of time and have consistently provided valuable and comparable results for our people.
Obviously, Jared sits at the tip of that spear.

Jared, with the time we have remaining tonight, this final segment, I want to treat it as if we are two combat pilots going through our pre-flight checklist.
We've got to get in the air in a hurry, and I've got a lot to cover with you, and it's all important.
So let's start here.
A lot of talk in the news, of course, about Amy Barrett and the Supreme Court.
Presumably, they will still try to have that hearing.
I haven't heard otherwise.
I've been a little bit out of pocket this week.
But does it matter to race realists?
I know that the social conservatives, and I am a pro-life guy, I don't think that that's not an important issue, but it's always the carrot in front of the cart.
I don't believe, I don't personally believe, even if she is seated and confirmed, that they will ever overturn Roe versus Wade.
But in any event, that notwithstanding, does it matter to race realist whether or not Trump gets another judge on the court?
My guess is that although she has published practically nothing on the question of affirmative action and practically nothing on immigration, my guess is that she could vote against continued racial preferences.
As you know, a lot of people have been hoping that the Supreme Court would finally jump one way or another on this and say racial discrimination in hiring and university admissions is bad.
I don't think it's impossible.
We just don't have any way of knowing.
I think she's more likely to vote that way than the other.
But of course, it all depends on whether or not a ripe case comes before the court.
As far as immigration is concerned, my guess is that she would be a deferential to executive power.
That's what the constitutionalists tend to do.
They don't think that they should stand in the way of the executive if it decides who is a danger coming into the country or how many people should be granted asylum or amnesty, things like that.
So my guess is that if she is on the bench, she is more likely to side with the executive, whoever the executive is.
And that would just be the way she rules because my impression is she is very much a person who believes that her job is to interpret the law, not make the law.
And that's the kind of justice that I approve of.
But then that leaves it to what the Democrats might do if they retake the Senate.
But on those questions, I do think that she would interpret the civil rights law as saying exactly what it means.
Don't discriminate.
I believe that's the way she would rule.
Well, I think we can all agree, and I hope that you're right, and you very well may be.
I think we can all agree, though, that it's better to have her on there than anyone Biden or another Democrat would appoint.
And as you alluded to, the stacking of the Supreme Court, which Biden has certainly not pushed back against, despite being offered the opportunity many times.
30-second answer on that, Jared.
How concerned are you about that, no matter what happens with Barrett?
I think his unwillingness to say that he will not is virtually a promise that he will.
I mean, how else can we interpret that?
He has really essentially, as far as I'm concerned, that's something we can expect right away.
If they do get a majority in Congress, or if they can, I mean, I don't see how they could possibly talk Republicans into supporting that.
But if they get a majority, they'll ram it through without a single Republican vote, just the way they did with Obamacare.
And I think that, again, having not denied, having not denied it, is a promise to do it.
All right.
I agree with you, obviously.
As quickly as we can on this, because there is a very important question I'm saving for last, but Donald Trump and the debates.
Now, we're not going to revisit the last debate.
That's been covered.
But he has withdrawn from this virtual so-called town hall debate.
And, you know, to me, I'm with him on that in spirit.
I think these so-called town hall debates, these people posing as voters, I mean, who knows who they are?
But you're certainly not going to get an off-the-cuff question.
You're not going to get a question that I believe isn't entirely scripted.
I believe that these so-called town hall debates are already inauthentic enough.
And putting it as a virtual debate just further muddies the waters.
But Trump withdrawing from the second debate tactically, what do you think?
I think that that was a mistake.
I think it makes it look as though he is not prepared to face Joe Biden a second time.
Of course, he is.
He's a guy that's not afraid to face anybody.
But the first time around, the media, of course, dumped on him mercilessly.
And if he wished to change his style, I think he probably could.
If he wanted to be more gentlemanly, I think he's capable of that if his advisors really convince him is necessary.
So I think that no matter how the debate shakes off, although in the long run it doesn't make that much difference, I think it makes it look as though he is not willing to face his opponent in the ring again.
That's the thing.
You know, you got, what was it, 80 million people nearly that tuned into the last one.
You're not going to reach those people going on Rush Limbaugh as he did yesterday.
And even Joe Biden's not going to reach those people doing the standalone town hall on ABC.
You know, 80 million people in a race that could be very close is important.
But then again, we saw the whole thing with Steve Scully apparently colluding with Scaramucci.
You know, what's going on with that?
I mean, it just, it all stinks to high heavens.
I mean, obviously.
Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
I intend this.
Yeah.
That's an aspect that had not occurred to me, actually, is the number of viewers.
Some of those people are for sure going to be undecided.
And if either of the candidates, I don't wish to back a horse, of course, but if either of the candidates can persuade people to go their way, then that's an opportunity to do so.
It's an opportunity to talk to people who probably never pay attention to you.
The people that listen to national public radio, as I do sometimes, and I'm not listening to your radio show, they have never ever heard Donald Trump, I suspect, speak for himself.
And I suspect some of them would be shocked that he isn't an actual firebreather.
He doesn't have horns.
He doesn't have a tail.
He doesn't have cloven hooves.
So an opportunity to reach some of those millions of still undecided voters, I think, is one that if he wishes to win, he should not have let slip through his fingers.
All right, Jared, one more question, and then I want to get to something that is personally meaningful to me to bring up to you.
So we'll answer this as quickly as we can.
Obviously, we have learned this year that burning down cities and sacking police stations is entirely permissible if you are of the right to persuasion.
But standing guard over your own home is not.
I'm reading now a tweet from Mark McCloskey of St. Louis.
So he got indicted today on two charges, displaying and tampering.
We have no info on the tampering, no idea what we are supposed to have tampered with, upside down world.
What do you make of this?
Gosh, this is anarcho-tyranny.
I think of Sam Francis nearly every day, as you point out.
The people who are rampaging through America's cities, turning our downtowns into what a Jewish friend of mine described as Kristallnacht for whites.
I thought that was a great description.
He was walking down the Miracle Mile.
Glass everywhere, glass everywhere.
This is Chicago, yeah.
Yes, yes.
This is Kristallnach for whites.
In any case, the people who are doing that, who are looting and setting fires, and to me, one of the most offensive things is when I say people burning police cars.
Oh, it pains me.
Police are the necessary order in a society.
And with impunity, burning up a police car, oh, that just, that makes me furious.
He's getting away with it.
And these people who are defending their homes, they get charged.
Well, at least, as you know, the governor has said, hey, whatever happens, I'm going to pardon them.
I think that's great.
Oh, well, thank God for that.
You know, honestly, I did not know that.
I learned that here on my own program tonight.
So thank you for sharing.
Well, that's good news.
That's at least one story that will have a favorable ending.
But let me ask you this in closing.
Although the danger it portends for everyone else is certainly disconcerting.
And that will not be the last of the McCloskey treatment that our people can expect to receive in this very, very fractured world.
Jared, with only a minute or two remaining, Monday is Columbus Day.
Why should people remember that?
Why should people revere that, salute that, honor that, admire the man?
What do you make of Columbus Day and that legacy?
Because we know every other media but save this will be excoriating him after the weekend.
First of all, it was an extraordinary act of courage and navigation.
Wherever he had gone, no one had ever done that before.
No one had had that vision.
No one thought it was possible.
And he did it.
For that alone, we must admire him.
But, of course, his great achievement and what's now considered his great sin is that he brought Western civilization to a Stone Age continent.
And up until maybe 50, 60 years ago, we consider that a huge achievement.
But now, people who hate white people, hate their civilization, hate everything about us, think that he was therefore the great villain because he brought us here.
And when you start tearing down statues of Columbus, what you're saying is all of white civilization on this continent is illegitimate.
It is a remarkable blow against all of us and everything that we stand for.
Amen to that, my friend.
Amrin.com, Amrin.com.
Gird your loins, ladies and gentlemen.
The election is nigh.
Jared, always a pleasure to talk with you.
I appreciate our long-standing friendship.
Look forward to the next time already.
Godspeed, brother.
We'll be back with Peter Brimelow next.
Great.
Another hour of the political cesspool is in the can, but don't go away.
