You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The political cesspool, known across the South and worldwide.
Go out and find a girl.
Come on, come on and dance all night.
Just my feet, it'll be all right.
Don't you know it's a pity the days can't be like the nights in the summer, in the city, in the summer, in the city.
Cool town, eating in the city, dressed so fine and looking so pretty.
Cool cat, looking for a kitty.
Gonna look in every corner of the city.
July wheezing like a bus stop, running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop.
But tonight it's a different world.
Go out and find a girl.
Well, the beginning of that song pretty much describes the weather that we're having here right now.
I mean, there's miserable, and then there's what we've got here tonight.
Welcome to this sultry, steamy July evening, the 24th.
I'm James Edwards.
He's Keith Alexander.
And yeah, walking around the street hotter than a match head.
That's it right now.
If you were on fire in a sauna, so you have the steam along with the heat and the humidity.
And I'm sweating even in here with the air conditioning off.
I mean, this is one of those days today.
But the temperature's always right right here on Saturday night at TPC.
It's amazing how that happens, Keith.
Well, James, I've concluded that you're an atypical southerner in many ways.
One, you don't like southern vegetables.
I've never seen you eating okra or black-eyed peas or any of these things.
And then the heat bothers you.
I tell you what, I will take this heat over 30 below zero up in the Dakotas or in Minnesota or Montana.
Well, you got to remember today.
You got to remember, as I'm sure you do, Keith, we didn't begin here.
We didn't spring out of southern ground as much as I am, a loyal and faithful son of the South.
We came from Northwestern Europe, and so that's a totally different climate.
We spent more time there than we did here.
I guarantee you, nobody likes this weather.
Well, I can handle it in the day, but at night I need to be cool.
I have to admit that.
I need to have the air conditioning on at night.
Well, in any event, I want to sleep well.
It is summer in the city, that's for sure.
But again, the water's just fine here at TPC.
Here's what we got coming up your way this evening.
Mark Weber will be back once again, the director of the Institute for Historical Review.
He's going to be offering his analysis and perspectives on the current debate that is roiling this nation on a critical race theory.
Now, we've talked about critical race theory two or three times in length on this program, and Keith has given it some wonderful treatment, I think, but it keeps popping up.
It's something that continues to be Be talked about in the news.
Marjorie Taylor Green is on this stop critical race theory speaking tour, but do they really get it?
No, they don't.
They don't get it.
And so we're bringing Mark Weber back.
He's one of our heaviest hitters.
He's one of our most frequently interviewed guests because, of course, his insight on any given topic is always so sharp and well-informed.
So we're going to be talking with Mark at length in the second hour about critical race theory, opening up that can of worms one more time.
So much more, though, to come this evening as summer on TPC continues on.
And what a summer.
You know, I mentioned this in passing last week, Keith, but just since the first week of June, when Eddie Miller took us down to Pensacola and we had that incredible show with the survivors of the USS Liberty, a wonderful Fourth of July extravaganza with Sam Dixon and Jason Kessler.
We were in South Carolina a couple of weeks ago, Charles Bosman live from Russia last week, plus that incredible tribute to Bill Regnery that I have heard from so many people about that featured three of our program mainstays, Jared Taylor, Kevin McDonald, and again, Sam Dixon.
But some great guests in between all of those as well this summer, Ramsey Paul, Jesse Lee Peterson, Mark Weber, already this summer and again tonight, and that's just since the first week of June.
That's not even going back to our March Around the World and Confederate History Month series.
Every week is an event here on TPC.
I agree.
You know, we keep outdoing ourselves, or at least you do.
I'm kind of.
Oh, no, Make no mistake about that, my friend.
This is a two-headed beast here and the yin and the yang.
And I hear it everywhere I go, people talking about how well we mesh and play off of one another and how we bring different attributes without which, without each other, it would be lacking otherwise.
So it's a fantastic duo that we make here.
If I do say so myself, at least for your half of it, I'll give you.
Well, you're very kind, but basically I'm a cockboat in the way of the James Edwards battleship here.
No shit about that.
But there is one thing before we settle in this evening.
I want to go back to one thing because it was a really tremendous.
I thought that Sam and Jared and Kevin really made what we did in the third hour last week soar.
And Paul Craig Roberts wrote about it after our commentary on the air.
He wrote an article, published an article entitled The Irrational Hatred of Progressives.
And I didn't want to bring this up during our tribute to Bill Regnery last week because it would have brought it down to go into the gutter with where the left is.
But this irrational hatred of progressives.
Now, that was mentioned by Sam and Jared and Kevin during the third hour.
But Paul Craig Roberts really brings it into sharp focus.
What were we talking about?
Well, here it is.
Rob Call posted an article on the death of William Regnery.
The title was Fascist Funder Dead, a Grave to Piss On.
And this is what the writer of this particular article had to say.
I will speak ill of the dead.
This maggot feeder, white supremacist, fascism funder, deserves to rot in hell and be reviled.
His grave desecrated.
It might even make your nation a protected free speech amendment.
First multi-millionaire white supremacist William Regnery, who financed fascist and fascist white supremacist organizations, has happily dropped dead and is now rotting in hell.
May his burial place be added as a list of places where despicable people are buried for tourists to pee or spit or throw garbage on their graves.
These ugly sociopaths deserve to have their graves given such treatment.
There is not much that separates people like Regnery from other monsters in history.
To which Paul Craig Roberts, the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan, wrote, William Regnery was a mild-mannered conservative.
His sin was that he was not anti-white.
The vitriolic hatred spewed against him by progressive Rob Call, who did not know him, shows that the progressive movement is driven by a rational hatred and regards all white conservatives as white supremacist scum whose graves are to be pissed on.
How can a country survive this extreme form of hatred?
Martin O'Toole, another friend of ours in Atlanta, said it best when he wrote me an email this week, which read, The point made is certainly true about the left's treatment of Bill's memory.
They are what they most denounce.
Show me a quote-unquote white supremacist's obituary of a hero of the left that is even in the same solar system as these remarks about Bill.
And I thought we would revisit that just very briefly to once again remind people, if you missed the third hour last week, please go back and check it out.
It was a fitting tribute to a great man.
But this is what we're talking about.
This is critical race theory.
And this is, it does show, of course, that it is projection.
They say we're filled with hate, but then yet they publish these comments and can't see the biblical admonition.
They can't remove the spec from their own eyes because of, well, whatever.
They want to remove the spectrum.
They want to remove the spec from someone else's eye when they can't even see the piece of lumber in their own.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
Well, that's what, you know, this is the way that the left has evolved through the time.
When I was a kid, they were supposedly the protectors of the freedom of speech and the First Amendment.
The guys that said, I don't like what you say, but I'll fight to the death for you right to say it.
Those days are long gone.
And we'll talk more about this topic after these words from our sponsor.
Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens?
Can a country founded on God-given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our Creator?
I believe that great nations and great civilizations spring from a people who have a moral compass.
I don't think a civilization can long endure that does not have respect for all human life, born and not yet dead.
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.

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.

Jumping
They holler and whistle, no more than whispered in practice.
Kids in Bristol sharpen the pistol when they do the Bristol Stump.
Well, I've got to take you right back to 1961, Keith, and it really reflected the mood and the wholesomeness of America at that time.
What were you doing back in 1961?
I was in the fourth grade, I believe.
Did you do the Bristol Stomp?
I remember the twist.
I can say that.
I don't remember the Bristol Stomp.
I don't stop dancing it, but I do remember that song.
And I remember the DeVelles.
I remember seeing them on, I believe it was Dick Clark's American Bandstand.
They certainly look like an act that would have been on there in that time period.
So you go back to those songs.
Could you do the, what were some of the dances?
The mashed potato, the stroll, of course, the Freddy.
I'm sure you were big into the Freddy.
The Freddy, the nitty-gritty, the frug, the skate, the boogaloo, the pony, all of those things, yeah, and the frug.
So all of that stuff, you know, there were all these dances and they all had a particular, you know, step or way about them and whatnot.
And you needed to learn those.
I remember going to those teen town dances for seventh and eighth graders that various churches had.
And you had to get out there on the dance floor and show your stuff.
You know, you couldn't be a wallflower if you wanted to catch Fein Heart Never Won Fair Maid back in those days.
Well, and the reason I bring this song to the attention and the reason we're doing, usually, not always, but usually a method to the badness of what we're doing here.
Compare the America of the late 50s, early 60s to the climate that we have now, a climate that could produce such filth as what I just read to you in the last segment, which is going to segue into the broader discussion on critical race theory that we're going to be having with Mark Weber in the second hour.
And with regards to the desecration of graves, it's going to tie into what we're going to be talking about with Gene Andrews at the end of this hour, and that is the reburial of Nathan Bedford Forrest after the Completely drunk on hate progressive left were able to do after digging up his bones, the bones of one of the greatest American heroes that there's ever been, and certainly perhaps America's greatest warrior, the greatest warrior this nation ever produced.
We'll be talking about what's going on with that and how you can be a part of the reinternment and how you can be there to celebrate Nathan Bedford Forrest at his reinterment later on in September.
He's going to give you all the facts about that.
But going back to Paul Craig Roberts, what he wrote in conclusion was progressives use terms such as white racist and white supremacist so loosely that the terms are now completely devoid of meaning.
Anyone who has anything positive to say about Western civilization or the founding of the United States is considered a white supremacist.
Again, this ties in with critical race theory.
In contrast, though, however, Aruna Kalana-Nay's vitriolic expression of hatred for white people is considered free speech and moreover is applauded.
And this is what she said: quote, I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person who gets in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walk away relatively guiltless and with a bounce in my step, like I did the world an effing favor.
So you can say things like that, Keith, and you're celebrated at places like Yale and at Harvard.
But aside from being untrue, the liberal progressive left's denunciation of Regnery as the founder of white supremacy makes no sense according to their own doctrine of systemic racism.
According to this doctrine, every white person is a white supremacist by the virtue of their skin color.
So why signal out one person as a culprit when all whites are culprits according to systemic racism and critical race theory?
There's no difference between William Regnery and any other white person.
White people need to be, need to comprehend that this doctrine of systemic racism and critical race theory means that every white person is a white supremacist.
It doesn't matter what you say or what you do or what you write or if you're married to a person of color and if you have mixed race or rainbow children.
By definition, every white is a systemic racist.
And one wonders if enforcing this regimen will follow what the American Indian tribes have done in deciding how much of an Indian does one have to be to qualify as an Indian.
Will whites even survive long enough to be watered down to be one-sixteenth of a white person, which is what the litmus is for citizenship into some of these Indian tribes.
But Americans, white Americans, in conclusion, desperately need to wake up to the fact that hatred of them is institutionalized in education and entertainment and media and in the Democratic Party.
Systemic racism and critical race theory do not only apply to white straight Christian Republican Trump supporters.
The term includes every white person, including those who are mandating the teaching of critical race theory and white hatred in school systems.
It applies to them too.
Well, you know, James, I think it was Napoleon that said, when you see your enemy making a mistake, don't interrupt him.
I just thank the Lord that this is where the left has taken it.
This is something that they need to continue to play on.
I mean, they need to play this tune forever and ever and make it ever and ever louder because this is the bridge too far that they've taken now.
All of these conservative conservatism ink types, all of the left, all of the soccer moms and whatnot, they live in a twilight zone called good whitism.
They want to be good whites and they want to just come at us hammering tongs, people that are on the authentic right, because they want to be able to distinguish themselves from us.
Well, the left is telling them louder and more vociferously and more adamantly every day, there is no difference between you and them.
You are white.
If you're white, you're wrong.
We hate your guts.
You deserve death.
You need to go away.
And sooner or later, these people are going to get it through their heads that, you know what?
I can run, but I can't hide.
They're going to wipe me out along with the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.
So they better, rather than looking for some type of dispensation or absolution from the left, they need to realize that nothing is going to save them except solidarity with other whites like us.
And that is what we need.
That's why that will be the beginning.
This will be the beginning of a white identity political movement.
And that's what we need.
If we can't have a sense of racial solidarity and have people arguing for our side of the issue, whatever that issue might be, we're doomed.
But see, the Republicans in Congress, we don't have anybody like that now.
We don't have anybody that is an unabashed, unashamed advocate for white people.
And they're going to basically cut off every other escape route for those neocon conservative ink types.
And they're going to have no place to go to except with other whites, all other whites.
They are their enemy.
I mean, we are their friends, and the non-whites are going to be their enemies.
You see it right now, for example.
Asians, who are much more like white people than they are other races, have decided that they're going to cast their lot with being a member of the coalition of the other rather than being white or being allies of whites.
But you know what?
They're getting clobbered in places like San Francisco and Los Angeles and New York.
They're being attacked, and they're being attacked by non-whites, primarily blacks.
And sooner or later, the Asian man on the street is going to say, this is crazy.
You know, trying to blame white people for attacks on us by black people is nonsense.
And that's what's going to happen.
This is the way that we're going to find our way out of the forest.
Let the left do what they're doing.
Don't interrupt them when they're making this huge mistake.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to talk about how this irrational hatred of the progressives have led to the desecration of Forrest Grape to the point where they actually exhumed his body.
That is unbridled hatred if there has ever been, but it gives us a wonderful opportunity to honor him again as the hero he is.
Gene Hanson is going to tell us how to do that.
We're going to bring him on.

President Joe Biden led the kind of campaign rally that was impossible last year, speaking before nearly 3,000 people in support of a fellow Democrat, Terry McAuliffe, whose race for a Virginia governor could serve as a test of Biden's own strength and coattails.
You're not going to find anyone, I mean anyone, who knows how to get more done for Virginia than Terry.
That's a fact.
Several states scaled back their reporting of COVID-19 statistics this month, depriving the public of real-time information on outbreaks, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in their communities.
The shift to weekly instead of daily reporting in Florida, Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota marked a notable shift during a pandemic in which coronavirus dashboards have become a staple for Americans.

Belated and beleaguered, the virus-delayed Tokyo Olympic Summer Games finally opened Friday night with cascading fireworks and made-for-TV choreography that unfolded in a near-empty stadium.
A colorful but strangely subdued ceremony that set a striking tone to match the unique pandemic games.
The focus is different for the athletes.

You're not worried about the people there.
You're just worried about going out there and competing to the best of your ability.

An archbishop on Thursday responded to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that she is a devout Catholic who supports abortion.
No one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent life, let alone have the government pay for it, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordoleon said in a statement.
This is USA Radio News.
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high.
I tore my mind on a jagged sky.
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, what condition my condition was in.
Well, Keith Alexander, what condition is your condition in tonight as we continue to navigate the murky waters of the political cesspool?
I'm doing great, man.
I tell you, I love it.
I'm just like a hog in cool mud.
I'm feeling great tonight.
So the theme tonight, of course, ladies and gentlemen, is, as we mentioned, the anchor of tonight's program is going to be Mark Weber.
We're going to be talking with him again about critical race theory.
Yes, we've covered it a couple of times already.
We've given it the in-house treatment, but we're going to bring in one of our heavy-hitting analysts, Mark Weber, tonight to talk a little bit more about it because it does keep coming up.
Are people really getting it?
What's his take on it?
And of course, Keith, what we'll say about it is what we've said before, it's not a new idea.
This is something that has been going on for a long, long time.
And anybody that thinks things all of a sudden got bad just within the last few years or the last couple of decades certainly hasn't been paying attention.
And this goes back to an article that you said you wanted to make a few comments on.
It was an article that I actually wrote some years ago entitled The House That I Live In, or The House I Live In.
And I opened that with a simple paragraph.
Anyone who wants to know how we got to the point of all this diversity nonsense and multicultural madness and where it came from should watch a short film called The House I Live In.
It stars Frank Sinatra.
It came out in 1945.
It was created to, quote, oppose anti-Semitism and racial prejudice.
And it was awarded both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award in 1946.
And from there, I get a little more in-depth about the true nature of what this was.
It wasn't really done with any noble intent.
It was done to pave the way for exactly what we're suffering in the Western world tonight.
Okay, and who is responsible for this?
It's Hollywood, who's in charge of Hollywood.
It's called Jewish Hollywood and not for no reason.
By the 1920s, Jewish power and influence had taken over most of the studios in Hollywood.
In fact, by the end of the 1930s, there was only one major movie studio that wasn't basically headed by Jews and run under Jewish control, and that was Disney Studios.
Disney had a unique studio.
He depended on cartoonists.
He made all cartoon features back then.
And when he wouldn't succumb to the offers to buy him out by Jewish Hollywood, Jewish Hollywood got together and plotted against him.
They unionized his cartoonists and then had them go out on strike.
And of course, that was much more of a threat to Disney's movie studio than anyone else's.
Well, he got down to playing his last card, which was the movie Dumbo.
If Dumbo had been a failure, he would have gone into bankruptcy and Jewish Hollywood would have bought him out or what had been Disney Studios for cents on the dollar.
Instead, it was a great hit.
And after that, basically until his death in 1966, Disney kept Jewish Hollywood at arm's length.
He was basically doing his own thing.
He eventually learned from this mistake of being totally dependent on cartoons to where he made movies that were in the 40s, half cartoon and half regular movie.
Until in the 50s, he started making movies like Treasure Island that were all regular movies with no cartoons in them.
But there was never a Jewish lead in a Disney movie until after his death in 1966.
The first such movie was The Love Bug starring Buddy Hackett, who was Jewish, who comes across as Lovable Fuzball, but actually was known in show business circles at that time as the most profane comic in the Borschbelt in the Catskill Resorts, what they call the Jewish Alps in New York, is the nearest group of mountains, and that's where they were.
Of course, the Catskills are where Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle was set.
But that's the background of this.
Basically, World War II was about putting down Germany because Germany had, under Hitler, taken over the central bank, kicked out the Rothschilds, and started printing their own money and had a big public works project.
And he got Germany, Hitler that was, out of the depression before World War II.
No other Western nation got out of it until World War II came around and you had all this defense spending, except for Germany.
But because of that, because of running the Rothschild banking empire out of Germany, he became public enemy number one to them and he was going to be defeated at all costs.
And they, of course, Hollywood extols the Americans in World War II, the greatest generation that got them out.
But as you can see from this Frank Sinatra short movie that he made, that they almost seamlessly moved into undermining Gentile America almost as soon as the guns stopped roaring.
Here it is to a fine point about this particular piece with Sinatra specifically rather than Hollywood in general.
Christians now complain that modern-day Hollywood denigrates and downplays America and Christianity.
But even back in 1945, Hollywood was giving Oscars to a movie that says explicitly, anyone who thinks Christianity is better than other religions is either a Nazi or stupid.
Now, I talk in this article about everyone who participated in the production of this short film was in fact a communist.
People now think that that's just some sort of a slur that you would call people you disagree with.
But the house I live in and its message was a communist production through and through.
And make no mistake, the message of the movie wasn't that people shouldn't go around beating up Jews.
We have no problem with that message.
We don't advocate for violence against anyone.
But that wasn't the message of the movie.
The message was that race and religion are meaningless trivialities.
And anyone who disagrees is either a Nazi or stupid.
And in 1945, that was a radical communist idea.
But now it's a mainstream view parroted by nearly everyone, including, of course, conservatives.
Well, you know, and the word Nazi is like another situation where the enemies create a slur to describe the people.
They were actually national socialists.
Communists were the international socialists.
The German National Socialist Party were the national socialists.
They were all socialists.
But Nazis became a curse word, basically, for people at that point.
And communism was defended vigorously by Hollywood.
You know, they had the Hollywood blacklist, and they had the Army McCarthy hearings, and they had the HUAC House Un-American Activities Committee investigating Hollywood.
And you had Ronald Reagan running for head of the Screen Actors Guild against Sterling Hayden, who was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party.
And communist was basically a synonym in Europe before World War II for Jews, because Jews made up three-quarters of the membership of, let's say, the German Communist Party, the Spanish Communist Party, the Italian Communist Party.
And people like Franco, Mussolini, and Hitler were basically grassroots leaders that rose up to oppose the communist takeover of Europe.
Communists after World War I weren't happy just to have Russia.
They wanted to take over all of Europe.
And cultural Marxism that we're going to talk about later basically came about due to the disillusionment of Marxists, classical Marxists, who said, how did Marx and Engels get it wrong?
Why didn't all these people flock to our standard the way that they had predicted?
And the cultural Marxists had an answer to that.
The answer was that you have people that have been marinated in Christian and European Gentile culture for centuries, and that basically you need to not work on seizing political power, which is what communism, one form of applied Marxism, does.
Instead, you need to focus on capturing the culture and transforming the culture.
And when you do that, political power will fall into your lap like ripe fruit.
That's what the cultural Marxists thought at the Institute for Social Research.
They were going to call it the Institute for Marxist Research, but they thought that was too in your face, so they turned it to the Institute for Social Research.
The point is that none of this sprang up overnight.
All of this talk about critical race theory, the groundwork for this was laid decades, even generations ago, and they're calling it by a different name now, but this is that steady drumbeat that's been going on since the 1940s and beyond in this country, for sure.
The worst thing that Hitler's takeover did to America was it drove the cultural Marxist leaders, people like Max Horkheimer, Theodore Adorno, George Lukox, Wilhelm Reich, people like that, out of Germany.
And where did they land up?
In New York City, most of them having teaching jobs in places like Columbia University, and they brought their presence to America, and then they turned their gaze on America.
And this movie is part of that transform, part of what they were doing.
And transforming America.
From the educational perspective, that's where the seeds first began to germinate.
And now they're just everywhere.
It spread like we can't.
We're going to take a paper back with Gene Andrews.
What's going on with Nathan Bedford Forrest?
We're going to tell you.
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 is somebody seal that gold?
We don't have any gold at the house.
It's stored safely in the UPMA vault, securely and insured.
But the S ⁇ P 500 outperformed gold.
Daddy, gold is a bad investment.
Some people do think of it that way, but actually, gold is money.
And as members of the United Precious Metals Association, we can use our gold at any store, just like a credit card.
Or I can ask them to drop it right into Mommy and Daddy's bank account because we're a UPMA member family.

That's UPMA.org.
Why don't we say to the government writ large that they have to spend a little bit less?
Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last?
Anybody better have a 1% pay cut?
You deal with it.
That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut.
If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief.
But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible.
Who are they?
Republicans.
Who are they?
Democrats.
Who are they?
Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money.
So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere.
The money will be added to the debt, and there will be a day of reckoning.
What's the day of reckoning?
The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market.
The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar.
When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency.
You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?
In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.
More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term large-scale problems.
American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.
As economist Tyler Cowan recently wrote, quote, by having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.
The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.
The solution to so many of us at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.
Imagine if somehow you could have taken an escape from your mind in the 1940s or the 1950s and then come back to check and see what condition your condition was in in 2021.
Who would have ever, boy, could you have an imaginary?
I tell you what, look, this transformation of America and the decline of the traditional America has been underway for a long time and it really grew into high gear in that post-war era.
And that movie that you were talking about, that little short that nobody ever heard of that got all these awards, that was an important piece of the puzzle.
Well, now we are into not just the grave desecration and the monument desecration phase, but beyond that to the point where we're exhuming the bodies of heroes that dared to stand against the tide.
And none greater than Nathan Bedford Forrest.
You know, the people that were there in Charlottesville a couple of years ago were right.
It wasn't, they weren't just there to defend Lee, but rather there to stand in the gap against all that would come after that, all of the monuments that would go down and the graves that would be defiled.
But this irrational hatred of the progressives that we've been talking about this hour gives us an inadvertent opportunity to share in a wonderful experience, the opportunity to be there for the reinterment of General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
We have a firm date on this.
You'll remember this was supposed to have been done or was originally planned to have been done last year, but because of COVID and postponements and quarreling with the city of Memphis and everything that they were doing, it got pushed and pushed again.
We now have a firm date.
Ladies and gentlemen, to give you the information on this is none other than our good friend Gene Andrews, the former commander of the Tennessee Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, former history teacher, former Cincinnati Bengal, all-around great guy, former Marine.
And curator of Nathan Bedford Forrest's Boyhood Home.
That's exactly that.
And he's all that and more.
Gene, thanks for being with us.
What we're going to do, ladies and gentlemen, we're just going to give you the who, what, where, when, and why tonight.
We want you to take out pen and paper, mark down the date, get some of these opening details.
We're going to have Gene back on again in August for another update and then at the beginning of September for a final update.
We're going to keep you posted on this as it continues to develop.
But Gene's going to tell us where we're standing tonight.
Gene, go.
Yes, sir.
James, thank you for having me on.
Okay, here's the dates and the times that we have set.
The reinterment will be at the Sons of Confederate Veterans National Headquarters at Elm Springs in Columbia, Tennessee.
That will be on Saturday, the 18th of September.
The funeral or reburial ceremony will start at 10 a.m.
They will also have a viewing of the two caskets of General Forrest and his wife.
And of course, they will both be buried together there on Saturday the 18th.
But there'll be a viewing on Friday the 17th of September.
And I think it's the afternoon, like noon to five, or maybe a little bit earlier than that, but on Friday at Elm Springs also.
Now, in order to go, you have to be pre-registered.
And this is trying to keep the wackos and crazies from the Antifas and the Black Lives Don't Matter to Other Blacks and all the nutcases out there from getting in there and just totally disrupting the thing.
So you have to be pre-registered.
And what you can do is go online to scv.org.
And that will direct you to there's another site.
It's got a whole bunch of letters in it that you actually do the registration for.
And if you're in the Sons of Confederate Veterans, you need to have your membership number and the number of guests that you're inviting to come with you.
Other people, there may be some other questions that you need to answer on that as well.
But you have to be pre-registered because they're going to be checking this at the gate.
And we know they're going to be morons and idiots out there from the lunatic left that are going to be protesting.
And that's the infuriating thing about this.
They didn't want Forrest buried in a public park in Memphis.
So they took the equestrian statue down the middle of the night.
And, you know, they do it on a routine basis.
They vandalize the grave site and spray graffiti on it.
They didn't want it there.
And so now we're moving it to private property.
And now they don't like that either.
So make up your flipping mind there, people.
What do you want?
Public population.
Well, they know what their mind is, Gene.
Gene, this is Keith.
They know what their mind is.
They hate General Forrest and all things Confederate.
Now, let me ask you this.
What is the temperature of the political leadership there in Columbia, Tennessee?
The sorriest, worthless pile of dog manure you've ever seen.
They've got a mayor by the way.
Well, do you think we could be running into some type of ambush like Charlottesville?
What's going on?
Is there no better place than that?
At least we'll be on private property.
And once you get on the SCV property, you will be safe there because they're going to have a lot of security.
They got an idiot named Chas Mulder that's the mayor of Columbia.
And he's your typical little wokey idiot liberal.
And Murray County's okay.
That's fine.
That's normal people like us.
But unfortunately, the SCV headquarters is within the city limits of Columbia.
And this little dweeb is doing everything he can to block this, to make it hard on the SCV.
He's telling the SCV they have to have a parade permit for a funeral procession to bring the caskets from a funeral home over to the SCV headquarters.
All right.
And then in order to put them.
Yeah.
Well, no, I was just going to say, all right, so there's a local mayor that's trying to cause some trouble, but this show will go on.
And I wish we had you for two segments tonight, but I want to be able to stress this to the audience because we're going to bring you back for an extended interview next month.
And then again, at the beginning of September, all well in advance of the reinterment of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, which is a public event.
You do have to register.
They got to pre-register.
Yep.
Got to do that.
Okay, but it's on Saturday, September the 18th.
So that's the purpose for bringing Gene on tonight.
So you could put that date into your head.
Saturday, September the 18th in Columbia, Tennessee.
Okay?
That's where it's going to be.
Now, it's going to happen earlier that morning, but for days in advance, earlier that week, Forrest will be laying in state to where you can come and pay your respects in case the crowd is too big, which I would imagine it will be on that Saturday morning.
There will be other opportunities for you to come and honor and reflect at the casket of Nathan Bedford Forest.
And how can they do that, Gene?
Well, that we don't know.
They were talking about originally having General and Mrs. Forrest for two days over at the Forest home in Chapel Hill, which is only about 30 minutes away from Columbia.
And then they decided, no, no, they're not going to do that at all because of security.
And now it looks like it's back on again, but only for one day.
And all of this is being hashed out even as we speak down in Meta Ray, Louisiana at the Sons of Confederate Veterans National Reunion down there.
So they're trying to get the SCV National, the Tennessee Division, and then Lee Miller and some of the members of the Forrest family together and say, look, let's figure out what you're going to do and let's stop all this on again, off again.
Oh, no, we are.
We're not going to do this.
We're not going to do that.
And let us know what we're supposed to do at the Forest home.
So that part, the early part of the week, Tuesday or Wednesday and Thursday is still kind of up in the air.
But the Saturday the 18th, the 10 o'clock burial, that's definitely on.
And the viewing or visitation, whatever you want to call it, on Friday at Elm Springs is definitely on.
So that Friday, the 17th, Saturday the 18th, that's on, regardless of what they're doing.
Yeah.
Somebody's asking right now, repeat the dates.
Okay, so this is going to be, this is a fluid situation.
So things will continue to evolve.
And that's why we're just firing the opening salvo tonight with Gene Andrews.
We're going to have him back on.
Okay.
In August, we're going to have him back on again the first week of September.
Go, Gene.
Here are the concrete dates, the dates that are on.
The reburial, reinterment, whatever you want to call it, will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, the 18th of June.
That said, the viewing of the...
In Columbia, Tennessee.
In Columbia, Tennessee at Elm Springs, Elm Springs SCV headquarters.
It's on Highway 50 Morrisville Pike right there.
It's not right in downtown Columbia, but unfortunately, it's within the city limits of Columbia.
Yeah, and this may be confusing because it was confusing to me years ago when I first heard Elm Springs.
I thought Elm Springs was the name of the town.
Elm Springs is just the name of the SCV headquarters.
There's a big anti-profit.
Of their plantation home.
It is in Columbia, Tennessee.
Yeah, looking on a map, you find it on Columbia, Tennessee, and actually in Murray County itself.
But the 18th, Saturday, that's on.
And the viewing on Friday afternoon, the 17th, that's on.
And what they're hassling out this weekend, and hopefully we'll have something settled by Monday or Tuesday, is if there's going to be a day of viewing or visitation over at the Forest home right outside Chapel Hill, which is about 30 minutes away.
All right, so we've accomplished our mission tonight.
The mission has been accomplished in so much as Gene Andrews has come on to tell us Columbia, Tennessee is the place to be on Saturday, September the 18th.
And on Friday, September the 17th, General Forrest and Mrs. Forrest will lay in state.
The burial will be Saturday morning, September 18th at Elm Springs Plantation in Columbia, Tennessee at 10 o'clock in the morning.
So we're going to have Gene back on next month to give us much more details about the registration process and everything we need to know.
And then again in September, this is the first of three appearances Gene will be making for this purpose.
Keith, final word to you.
Well, let me just go on record.
I have been at SCV meetings and said I think a better idea would be to have the statue and the graves at the home, the childhood home of Forrest, where I know that Gene is solid as a dollar, a silver dollar, and he's not going to back up.
And I understand that the political climate in the county that the Forrest Childhood Home is in is much more sympathetic to Marshall County is great.
Chapel Hill is super.
They've been over backwards to help us.
Well, in any event, it's not going to happen.
It is going to be there.
And by the way, they have a new Confederate Museum at Elm Springs that is going to be opening and coinciding with all of this.
So it's an exciting thing, a little bit of hurdles to be navigated, but we'll get there and we'll get there with Gene Andrews.
Gene, thanks for coming on and giving us a Save the Date announcement.
There's more to come.
We'll talk to you again next month and again in September as we march towards the reinterment of General Forrest.
