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.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to what will be a very memorable, very unique live broadcast of TPC.
I'm your host, James Edwards, this Saturday evening, November 21st.
I am live tonight from South Carolina.
Are you ready for three hours of good news?
Yes, I said good news, ladies and gentlemen.
I've taken the show on the road this evening.
We're broadcasting TPC from a private gathering of like-minded people, good people, God-fearing Southern people here in South Carolina.
And we invite you to join us.
Be with us for the next three hours as we feed off of the energy of those presently assembled.
And we gift you with an evening that I think will be filled with inspiration and encouragement.
Those two things have been in short supply in the year 2020.
In fact, I wondered if it was even permissible to share with you good news, uplifting news in the current year.
But indeed, you have come to the right place if that's what you're looking for.
I am going to take my time and try to comprehensively paint a verbal picture of that which I have seen and experienced over the course of the last 24 hours.
And let me first begin it with a story.
About a year ago, last October, so a little more than a year ago, a gentleman comes up to me at our anniversary conference and he says he's working on something.
And in a few months, he'll get back to me.
And he wants me to be a part of it.
And he wants to fill me in.
And, you know, we'll work together in a certain capacity on this project of his.
But he didn't go into any details at the time.
And so the calendar flipped from 2019 into, God forbid, 2020.
And so I get a call a few months back.
And the gentleman that I'm referring to lays out what he's working on.
And I'm blown away.
I'm blown away at what I'm hearing.
I'm blown away at the scope of it all.
And I want to see it for myself.
I can tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I've been doing this for 16 years as an activist in this movement of ours for faith and family, for our southern patrimony.
I've been around the block.
I've seen a lot.
I don't know if I've ever actually seen something quite like that which I'm going to be describing to you over the course of tonight's live broadcast.
So it's been a multi-sensory experience.
So basically, what has happened is there is this community of families in South Carolina that have come together on a piece of private property and they have developed a clubhouse of sorts to where people can come together and share in fellowship, share in discussion, which is so needed, is it not, in this day and age?
I mean, especially now when they're telling you you got to cancel Thanksgiving, you got to cancel Christmas.
Don't have the family over if you're not wearing a mask.
You need to do virtual holiday feasts.
And don't you dare share in the kind of fellowship that is so necessary to our being, so essential to our spirit, particularly during the Christmas season.
Well, that's what you're hearing in the world.
But there are communities coming together and banding together.
And that pulse of the South, that spirit of the South that we all know and love so well here at the Political Cesspool is still alive and well.
We know that the controlled media speaks with one voice.
They suppress news like this, but you will get news like this from here.
And I'm here to pay witness tonight to, again, what I've seen.
So I come into the clubhouse.
I get a private tour last night.
Instantly, it's something that stirs and stimulates all of your senses.
You walk into this wooded building, and it smells like, I don't know, fresh-cut cedar.
It has a beautiful, woodsy aroma.
The lighting is just perfect.
You hear southern banjo and harmonica music.
So you're already firing on all cylinders.
I have seen more Christian and Confederate flags, but I repeat myself because, of course, the Confederate flag is in itself, the battle flag itself is a Christian banner.
I have seen more this weekend than I have seen in quite a long time.
Without exaggeration, without hyperbole, I've been impressed by a lot of things that I've seen in my life.
I have been blown away this weekend.
It has absolutely exceeded any expectations I had coming in, and they were high coming in, I will tell you.
Black pill after black pill this year.
What with, of course, the COVID madness?
The one thing I haven't seen today is a mask.
So that's been wonderful.
The election, of course, the election didn't quite go our way.
But we have had, I think, some good post-election coverage on the show the last couple of weeks.
Nick Griffin, our friend over in England, the former member of European Parliament, he, of course, was on the show last week, and we read from one of his recent articles.
And let me share with you what Nick Griffin, the former member of European Parliament, former leader of the British National Party, has advised people to do.
I'll read it again.
Nick writes, people will perhaps now give up on the discredited idea that there is an electoral path to our salvation and that entire nations could be painlessly turned around.
Proper effort can thus be poured into saving individuals and families and building communities and self-help institutions to help the growing minority see that the liberal Titanic is sinking.
We are here to help mobilize the realists and to give them realistic and truly useful things to do.
Well, when he writes there that effort should be poured into saving individuals and families and building communities and self-help institutions, let me tell you, I have seen that happening in South Carolina over the course of this weekend.
That is exactly what is happening here.
Exactly what Nick encouraged people to do in light of the elections, in light of the continuing demographic onslaught here in America.
That is what these people are doing here.
I saw a Confederate color guard raise the colors today on a huge flagpole, huge battle flag.
I saw them give a gun salute.
I saw the drummer.
I have seen men in kilts, my people.
God bless them.
Beautiful families.
Let me tell you the kind of people that are attractive to the kind of scene that I'm describing.
Beautiful families.
I have seen families of all ages.
I've seen little children.
I've seen teenage boys and girls.
I've seen college, beautiful women, all the way up to senior citizens, hardy, masculine, manly men in good shape.
I have seen the best that the South has to offer this weekend in South Carolina.
We have been tailgating.
There has been barbecues served.
There has been live music.
Folks, I am plumbing the depths of my vocabulary to try to paint again that verbal picture that would give you just an idea of what you've missed if you hadn't been here for yourself.
We're going to continue to do that.
Folks, we'll be doing it for the entire show tonight.
We're going to be letting you hear from people who have been here and let you, I hope, draw some encouragement from that.
Our people are still alive.
Our people are eternal.
We'll be right back.

Hi, I'm Patty, wife of former Congressman Steve Stockman.
In Congress, Steve saw an impeachment of Eric Holder for his corruption of the Justice Department and his fast and furious gunrunning that caused border agent Brian Talley's death.
Steve called for arrest of Lois Lerner for her contempt of Congress as it investigated her targeting of conservative nonprofit groups.
After four years, four grand juries and millions of tax dollars, Steve Stockman is in prison.
His case involved four checks to nonprofits.
DOJ has one standard for Hillary Clinton, but another for folks like President Trump and my husband.
We've spent all our savings, all Steve's retirement, and much of mine.
Steve Stockman has fought for you and America.
Won't you join me now to fight for Steve?

It's time to jump back into the political cesspool to be part of the show and have your voice heard around the world.
Call us at 1-866-986-6397.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.
I am broadcasting live tonight from a gathering of like-minded patriots, friends of the political cesspool, but they're much more than that.
Here in South Carolina, a state that is very near and dear to my heart, I'll get into that later on in the show, some of my previous experiences in South Carolina, some of the things that I've seen and done here.
But I've never done anything like this.
And I have here with me now the founder of the feast, so to speak.
I did mention world-class barbecue being served today, live music.
And I'll tell you, the performer that was here today was as good as any country singer I've ever heard on the radio.
I mean, I don't see how some people make it and some people don't, because there was not a discrepancy in talent whatsoever.
This has been an A-plus world-class get-together, and I've been around and I've seen a lot.
And I want to shake the hand of our incredible host.
We'll introduce him as our host for the remainder of this hour.
And you, sir, you heard me to the best of my ability trying to describe to the audience some of the things that have been going on here.
But there's a lot more going on behind the scenes and a lot more to come as this community of people come together and you've made it all possible.
Well, thank you, James.
And I appreciate you coming here.
Sorry to interrupt.
Just as close to the mic, you almost got to kiss that windscreen.
Thank you, James.
I appreciate you saying that.
It's an honor having you here.
I've been a supporter of yours for a long time.
And you've known me through the movement in a different capacity.
What I'm trying to create here, what we're trying to create here, is to be the light and inspiration to our people in this dark winter.
We have a very dark winter ahead of us, folks.
And we want you to know that there is a place for our people.
And that is our whole goal and mission is to provide a light and inspiration to our families and folk.
I love how you worded that.
That was brilliantly worded.
You are working to provide in this corner of the world, this outpost of the Confederate States of America, light for the dark winter that's coming.
Literally and figuratively.
Certainly we are in November, so the literal winter is coming, but figuratively, it may get worse before it gets better.
But as long as our people still have them, so long as they can draw encouragement and inspiration and have the embers of our spirit stoked, we can, of course, continue to endure and thrive.
But it is so important that other people do what you are doing here.
So we mentioned earlier in the opening segment that you have purchased property and on this private property, you have built a clubhouse of sorts.
And people are coming to it.
And I asked you this earlier today.
We talked about food, live music, entertainment.
I mean, we're doing the broadcast from here.
And I said, I asked last night, I said, well, do you think people are going to show up?
He said, oh, yeah, they're going to come.
And I said, well, well, how do you know?
Because, you know, I've planned events, and it's not easy to plan an event that is well attended.
In fact, it's very hard.
He said, well, we've been talking to people about it.
We've asked them to come.
I said, well, you can ask a lot of people to do things.
And sometimes they just don't do it, even if they say they will.
I knew that there would be people here.
I did not think there would be this many people here.
I'll be honest with you.
I bet a couple hundred, 300 people throughout the day coming and going.
It's been amazing.
Amazing.
How did you do it?
Well, I have great guys that I associate with, and they help.
They're the foot soldiers, as it were.
They get the word out.
My wife is very motivated.
And credit should be given there, by the way, to the ladies of this movement, to the wives and even the girlfriends in some capacities that are supportive of their man.
And certainly, you know, I've got a wife.
I've had the opportunity, the honor to meet yours for the first time this weekend.
You can't say enough about that because we don't make it without the support of the home.
The women are the most important because they will be the producers of the next generation.
We have to value that.
We have to put them on pillow stools.
They have to earn that position, but we have to earn their respect as well.
We need to stop being the sofa guy.
We need to be men among men, and our women will follow us.
And we will get more women.
Young guys talk to me all the time.
You get a woman by being a man.
Amen.
Hey, hey, here.
Give me a knock of wood.
Give me a.
There's wood all around you, James.
That's for sure.
Let me move this a little bit.
Okay.
Well, okay, that's true.
That's how you get it.
That's a whole other conversation.
We may get to that.
But as far as well, this is something, folks, ladies and gentlemen, you know, we always talk about here on the Political Assessment.
We are live, unrehearsed, and unscripted.
That's every show.
But most shows, tonight being an exception, I at least have some sort of idea of what I'm going to be talking about segment to segment.
Tonight we came in here this evening.
No plan.
It's a freewheeling show, and we're going to bring people on and we're going to try to have thought-provoking conversations.
But we have nothing pre-planned tonight.
We're just going to feed off of the people that come and sit down on this couch next to me.
So that's, of course, what you're doing.
But with regard to getting the people out, so you look at some of the bigger conferences that take place.
We've had some well-attended conferences.
You've got, say, American Renaissance that can draw 200, 300 people.
And that's a great turnout, to be sure.
And that's sort of like the pinnacle of what I think right now people would expect for a dissident type conference.
You had that many and more for just a one-off weekend.
Our people are so hungry, James, for a hero.
They're tired of watching sports and athletes pseudo-heroes.
They need true heroes.
And that's what we're going to be to them until they come and they become their own heroes.
We have to focus on our own communities.
I get asked all the time, what do I think about the election?
What do I think about the government?
What do I think about all this political stuff?
I really don't care.
What I care about is the guy five miles away from me, then five miles from him.
That's what matters.
We matter.
Stop putting all your trust in the government.
We have abdicated our responsibilities, therefore our rights to the government.
We need to get to know each other.
Well, you've got this community that has obviously been built and cultivated in short order because you basically just started this three or four months ago.
Yes.
Three, four months ago.
So this is a new endeavor and a new experience.
And already just, and listen, folks, this isn't something he's been working on for years and decades.
This is something that just within the last few months has caught on like a wildfire in this section of South Carolina.
Now, I'll let you know, we are not too far removed on this piece of private property, which spans several acres.
We're not too far removed from a busy highway.
It's not an interstate, but it is a highway with quite a bit of through traffic.
And there were some people out earlier today during the musical entertainment and during the barbecue that were waving Confederate flags by the side of the road.
Were you surprised at the reaction from the general public, the passersby?
I lost count at how many people were honking, waving their hands, giving the thumbs up.
These people are ready.
These people are ready.
They just need somebody to lead, guide, and shepherd them.
This is the time for it.
This is a critical time in our life.
We have a generation that has learned from us and a generation after that that has learned from that.
And they realize they hunger for something greater than an iPad.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that, which he is describing, is being offered in spades here in South Carolina.
So good to be back in South Carolina tonight.
I'm going to be in South Carolina for the next two and a half hours anyway, before we make the trip back home to the other Confederate state of Tennessee, one of, well, I guess 13 anyway.
But we're going to take a quick time out.
We'll be back.
Much more from our host here in South Carolina.
Next.

The teen accused of killing two people during the Kenosha riots is released on bail.
Kyle Rittenhouse is accused of killing two people and wounding a third during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
He was released from police custody on $2 million bail on Friday.
The 17-year-old left the Kenosha County Jail around 2 p.m. after his attorneys posted bond, which was funded by an online campaign.
Rittenhouse has spent the past two months in custody on murder charges.
He claims he fired his weapon in self-defense after hearing what he thought was a shot fired at him.
35-year-old Josh Zaminsky has since admitted to firing that shot, but only as a warning to rioters closing in on his home.
From the Texas USA Radio News Bureau, I'm Valdi Orr.

You're listening to USA Radio News.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dine at 1-866-986-6397.
Ladies and gentlemen, I really do wish that everyone in the listening audience was here with us tonight.
We were just talking in the last break about how this is certainly an audience that spans the old Confederacy.
Across the country, even around the world, we have people who tune in live and after the fact every week.
And I said the timing of this particular show was in God's hand just a couple of weeks after the black pill of the election.
And now here, folks, remember, the media exists to discourage you, to break your spirit.
You are not alone.
That is the message that we want to give you this evening.
You are not alone.
There are other people out there who are resisting and not only resisting from the privacy of their homes, but are reaching out to other people and building communities.
That is what I'm seeing here.
And what one man can do, another can do.
And if it could happen here, it can happen anywhere.
Be a leader in your home.
And from there, be a leader in your local community and build these pockets.
And look, we talked about 200, 300 people at least that have been a part of this.
So what's going on here now is that we broadcast live from inside the clubhouse.
People are outside fellowshipping.
It's being broadcast outside of our location on speakers.
And so we're bringing in just one or you know, one to a handful of people at a time here from where I am at, where I've set up my makeshift remote studio.
But this is something is happening here that can happen elsewhere.
And to give you a little bit more idea of that picture is, again, our host, the man who has put this all together.
So it's not just the fact that you have live music, you have the entertainment.
We do something like this with the radio program here, but the food, which all of that's important in bringing stuff together, but it's more than that.
You're going to be having Bible studies here.
You've got a library that you're cultivating where people can come and grab a cup of coffee, bring a cup of coffee, get a bottle of water, come in and sit down and spend time reading and talking about issues with one another.
But of course, everything we're talking about here is anchored by the faith of our fathers.
And you'd mentioned, we had talked about last night and today with some other people who were here, the fact that the churches have been rotting from the inside.
They are falling victim to the same sort of antichrist narrative that the world is pushing, and they're surrendering in large part.
But you don't, as my pastor always told me, not every building with a steeple is a church house.
And so you can have church wherever there's a gathering of believers.
That too is something that you're working on here.
I think that's very important.
People generally get caught up in two things.
It's either politics or religion.
And then you have the lower intellect that gets caught up in sports and athletics.
Well, we're more interested in the higher intellect, and we have to dissuade them from the political realm.
And getting to the religious realm, you have goats leading sheep.
And what we need to do is have lambs turned into lions.
And that's what we're going to do.
We need to be the heroes that we seek so desperately.
And that's what we're going to create.
You know, that was the faith that I grew up as a member of.
Christianity can be righteously militant.
It doesn't have to be this weak, mealy-mouthed, whatever the world pushes on me, we're going to turn the other cheek and surrender.
And there's nothing we wouldn't surrender so long as it curries favor with the world.
You want us to sacrifice our ancestors, be ashamed of who we are?
Fine, no problem.
Sacrifice Christ with call me a racist.
Tell me about the picture that you showed me earlier today.
This is a picture from, I think it's 1513 from Albert Dewar.
It's called The Night, Death, and the Devil.
And that's how I live my life.
I'd select a mission, and that's what I go for.
I wipe evil to the left or to the right and stay on my mission.
And this is my mission.
All my life, I've always had a goal, and I've worked hard, and I've either achieved my goal or at least got real close to it.
This is my goal.
This is my contribution to our family, our folk, and our people.
And this is going to be part of our legacy that lives on even after I'm gone.
I, having been in this again, as I said, for all of my adult life on the radio for the last 16 years, I am a passionate guy.
I'm a passionate warrior, but I don't get too high or too low with the news of the day.
No victory gets me too high.
No defeat gets me too low.
But I will tell you this, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm absolutely brimming with enthusiasm and confidence as a result of the atmosphere that I have been submersed in this weekend.
And you can be too, and you should be.
I hope that the message you're hearing from my guest right now is encouraging you to know that these people are people still exist.
That fire still burns.
And it's not just what we've talked about.
It's not just the Bible studies.
It's not just the reading, the conversations, the fellowship, the food, the music, the whatever.
Actual skills and trades are on display here as well.
And that's another thing.
You can have all kinds of degrees.
My father, which was a humble man, self-educated, he dropped out of school and joined the military.
He was raised on a dirt floor.
He rose up in the ranks after military in corporate world, and he was on a panel of PhDs and doctorates and all that good stuff, talking to some college students getting their degrees.
And one of them asked him, who was he to speak to them that were getting their degrees that he didn't have a degree?
He said, you know what?
The doctor has a thermometer, and it's got many a degree, and you know where he sticks at.
So what we're doing is we're getting back to the essentials of trying to have tradesmen come in, exhibit their art, their skills, and pass that on to the next generation.
We're the greatest builders of civilization this world has ever known.
And that's what we need to get back to.
We are the builders.
Folks, what kind of show did you want to have tonight?
Did you want a third week consecutive of us lamenting Joe Biden and worrying about what is to come?
To the extent that we worry, I don't worry.
I don't worry.
I know our people are going to turn it around.
I know a lot of people out there are worried, though.
But in any event, would you rather have that kind of show, another show where we talk about the politics of the day, or something absolutely uplifting and transcendent?
The kind of message we're getting tonight.
I'll tell you, I don't get easily inspired.
I've talked to everybody.
You are inspiring me right now.
I said this is almost like a medieval village that I have time warped into because I saw a guy today.
We'll actually have him on in a minute working with leather.
You're talking about bringing a blacksmith here to do demonstrations.
And, well, I mean, you can explain it better than I can.
What's the vision?
All the skills.
I want to bring all the skills here.
And I would eventually like to be able to sponsor scholarships for people to go to trade schools.
These are the most important things.
It's not, you know, basket weaving 101 or social sciences.
Those things are not really who we are.
We are builders.
We build things, whether it's with wood, metal, glass.
That's what we need to focus on.
We need to focus on each other.
Forget about the greater political, because at the end of the day, it's all about us and community.
I'll say again, this is going to be a show that I look back on with fond remembrance.
You do a lot of these over the course of a career, and I guess to an extent they're all my babies, and I'm proud of the work that we put out.
We don't ever go into a show saying, well, let's just mail this one in and not put forth the best effort we can.
But this is something different.
And I want to go back to the caliber of people.
Now, you know them better than I have, but I had conversations with countless people today.
And I am a big believer in First Impressions.
What I saw, my wife has been here.
My wife is here with our one-month-old daughter.
And they have been here throughout the day.
Big believer in First Impressions.
What I saw today are real people, wholesome people, godly people, the kind of people that the establishment hates, but that I love and that we attempt to serve as champions for.
Talk about the caliber of people that have been attracted to the efforts that you're putting forth here.
These are great people.
They're high intellect.
A lot of them stop by.
I think because of the current political environment, has warmed their seat a little bit.
They've gotten curious.
So they stop by and see us.
What I try to put out there is stop believing the media's image of yourself.
That is what we have done.
They have put that image out and people have started to believe it about themselves.
Realize who we are and where we really came from.
Don't become the caricature that the media paints of us.
Be the genuine article.
Be someone, you know, there was a quote that I came across today that I'll share when we come back.
That's from the great Southern theologian R.L. Dan.
Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen, from South Carolina.
We'll come back.
Regrets?
Oh, we're all going to have them.
Doesn't matter who you are or what you do.
At some point, you're going to wish you'd done something differently.
You know, the woulda, coulda, shouldas.
But let me tell you a couple of things you'll never regret.
You'll never regret spending extra time talking to your teenager.
Trust me.
You'll never regret answering your three-year-old's question about where the water in the bathtub comes from.
And I've never seen anyone wish they hadn't sat in the kitchen laughing with their children and tell them goofy stories about when they were kids.
Yeah, sure, we're all gonna have regrets, but talking too much with our kids won't be one of them.
No matter what you talk about, love is what they'll hear.
A thought from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, visit us at Mormon.org.
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 health care 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.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James' Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Well, welcome back, everybody.
This is a show that is already racing by, I'll tell you.
This is one of the nights I wish we could stay here with you all night long, and we're going to try to encourage, uplift, and inspire you throughout the entire three hours tonight.
I mentioned a moment ago about the public response that I saw tonight just from passersby on the streets, cars honking, people rolling down their windows and waving and giving the thumbs up.
The spirit of the South is alive tonight in South Carolina.
I mentioned it a moment ago.
The media would suppress the fact that gatherings like this, communities like this, people like this even exist anymore.
But not only do they exist, they are thriving in this neck of the woods, I can tell you.
I came across two quotes today that I'd like to share.
The first is from a heroine of the Confederacy, Isabel Boyd, who was a Confederate spy, even as a teenager.
She was a spy.
She wrote, If it is a crime to love the South, its cause, and its president, then I'm a criminal.
I'm in your power.
Do with me as you please.
I fear you not.
I would rather lay down and die in prison than owe allegiance to a government as yours.
Now, that was from a teenage girl.
I mean, she has more courage than most men in this day and age.
And then there is, of course, the chaplain to Stonewall Jackson, the great Southern theologian R.L. Dabney.
Sirs, you have no reason to be ashamed of your Confederate dead.
See to it they have no reason to be ashamed of you.
And that, as much as any other message that I could deliver to you tonight, is what has motivated my life's work.
I am proud to be descended from the last men who fought for something worth fighting for in this country.
I am proud to be a descendant of the Confederate veterans, and I am proud to be here in South Carolina tonight.
So I ask you, though, I read those two quotes.
Those are just two of any number of inspirational quotes we could draw from our Southern heroes.
But what happened to the nation that used to produce people like that?
They went to sleep.
They were downtrodden.
They wanted to get some relief, so they started watching sport ball.
The bread and circus.
That is what we need to break away from.
You know, people talk about, well, our team won.
You're not on that team.
Our team is our people.
You know, I actually, I'm glad you said that.
I gave an interview to a Swedish broadcast just this week, and they were focusing actually on sports.
And I brought that point up that that has actually been presented to our people as a very poor substitute for pride in a tribe.
Well, that becomes our tribe.
We invest our identity in a sports franchise because they don't want us to invest that which animates us into something that is worthwhile, which is, of course, our people.
And we're the only people who do that, unfortunately.
And we need to catch up and remember who we are.
But with regard to your plans for this property going forward, three months, my God, what an accomplishment.
But what do we look like a year from now?
Even in the age of COVID and shutdowns and fear and discouragement.
Well, it's going to be.
And by the way, pardon the interruption, but you overcame all of that.
I mean, this is a time when people aren't supposed to be getting out.
And I've seen such a turnout as this.
We're not a fearful people, James.
You know that.
We're defiant.
We stand on the side of righteous or righteousness.
And that's what we're doing.
I mean, we know whenever the powers that be have alternative motives, we can rise above that.
We don't need to rely on that.
We're self-sufficient people.
We'll come together.
And next year, it's going to be even better.
I mean, I'm only going to expand and keep growing with the great guys that I have that surround and help me out.
And, of course, my beautiful and lovely wife.
I do have plans here.
I want to bring in the different trades to show people.
I want to have people that come in, give them an opportunity to put their skills out for people to see, and those that are interested to maybe do apprenticeships and mentoring them.
I want to have a place that shows people the proper ways of canning and preserving food, growing their food, raising chickens.
I want to have father and son camp outs with bonfires.
And I'm not, it's nothing against the Boy Scouts' original mission, but that has been so infiltrated that will not happen under my stewardship.
It will be a righteous lamb to lion progression because we need to build the men of the next generation.
Hear, here.
And I even saw what could be a foundry out there.
I mean, we were talking about a Smith, having a Smith out here and working with steel, working with leather, working with guns, sharpening tools, sharpening steel, mentally and, of course, quite literally.
But I even saw a tent out there.
Now, that was part of the display.
There was a member from a Confederate museum that drove down and put on a display.
But that certainly looked like the tent that one of my forebears would have slept in.
I think I descended from the only private in the Confederate Army.
Everybody ever talked that they descended from a general, but I actually descended from the only private in the Army.
But that's okay because I'm proud of him.
But, yes, so tense sleepouts, father-son bonding.
I mean, this is the stuff that.
We're going to have mother and daughter events.
We're going to.
This is going to be a family-focused situation to where it gives a shelter to our southern folk and our southern sympathizers out of society that has done nothing for us other than degrade us.
So this is going to be a southern safe space, but we're going to have campgrounds.
We're going to have a place where if people come from miles away, if they say, gosh, that's kind of far.
Well, you know what?
You get to spend the weekend here.
We'll have some activities to keep you stimulated and reinforce who we are.
It's almost impossible for me to believe it could get better than what I've seen already, but I do believe you when you say it that there is more to come.
And so what is the end game here?
What do you want people who come to this property, who share in all of the experiences that can be had here?
What impact do you want that to have on their life?
I want them to know that they're not alone in the wilderness.
There is a place for them to come.
Once they come here and experience it, I want to inspire them.
I want to be, or we want to be, the light in the dark winter that's ahead of us.
Now, I know, obviously, people are going to be wondering: well, how can I be a part of this?
How can I know?
Well, obviously, and there are obvious reasons why this is sort of an invitation-only, private sort of gathering with people that need to be trusted before they can receive an invitation to become part of the fellowship, so to speak.
But how would people come to know this in the future?
We will reveal that soon.
But right now, we have to be peaceful as doves and cunning as serpents.
That's exactly right.
But I think the message that should be shared is that what you have done, others can do.
With only a minute remaining this hour, and we've got a lot of impressive people to speak with for the remainder of the program.
So, obviously, we've spoken with you for the bulk of the first hour.
We're going to have some one-person, one-segment interviews.
We're going to hear from a lot of different people.
They've got a lot of different people.
They've got a lot of different things to say.
But how can anyone listening build this, cultivate this in their own areas?
How do you go about it?
How can someone listening right now be the next you?
Buy a piece of property, be the man of your property or woman, be independent.
Know you can do it.
Set the goal.
Have a goal in mind.
Stick to it.
And just slow and steady, slow and steady.
Whether it's just having people over at your home to have a conversation.
They don't have to buy acre upon acre and build a structure.
This could be something that's, you know, that was how the church started.
The church was underground in the beginning at the time during and shortly after Christ.
That can be how this starts for others.
Yes.
It can be a living room type setting.
Exactly.
That's where you start.
And then once you come together, our people can do so much once we get together and have a common goal and focus.
There's nothing that we can't achieve.
Everyone has their own mission and calling.
This happens to be mine.
Someone may want to start another situation, and they can do that.
Everybody's got to know what they can do, and everybody's situation is different.
But perform an honest assessment and then move forward.
I know you told me last night you were considering retirement and moving and just enjoying the years to come with peace and prosperity, but you decided to come back and do this instead.
I couldn't, knowing that this situation would have gone away had I not gotten involved.
I couldn't live somewhere else.
I would have too much of a guilt complex because I didn't want to come back one day and not be here.
Well, that's the thing.
I could have made money if I'd have gone into another career.
Yeah, exactly.
So we all have that stirring in our spirit that compels us to follow in the footsteps of men that were far greater than us, whose legacy and accomplishments, when I look at Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and Nathan Baker Forrest, we'll never be able to match that.
But we can do the best we can and know that we left it all on the table.
That was my calling.
That's been your calling.
Other people can have that calling and make a difference in their areas.
