	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.
	Welcome, everybody, to tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool.
	It is 9-11.
	I just, I kid you not, that's the first time I noticed that.
	It was right now.
	It is September 11th, the 20th anniversary.
	Now, we knew the 20th anniversary was upon us, but I didn't know actually today was the 11th.
	That's how busy I've been down here in Alabama.
	Yes, we are broadcasting live this evening from the heart of Dixie itself.
	And we just wrapped up the 2021 League of the South National Conference.
	And it's always a good time to be down here with the league, but always a good time to be with our people, especially when it's the league.
	I got a note in the mail last week from a female listener in Memphis.
	She writes, always look forward to Saturday at 6 o'clock.
	Well, dear listeners, so do we.
	So do we.
	And especially, again, I say tonight, being live from Alabama at the League of the South, the conference itself just wrapped up not more than an hour ago, and it was a mad scramble to get from the conference venue back to the hotel where the speakers are staying at so we could set up for tonight's live broadcast.
	It's all coming to you over the course of the next three hours.
	Everybody that you hear on the broadcast tonight will be in this room with me.
	It's all going to be local, all remote.
	And so no call-ins, no call-in guests, no special music.
	It's all right here, live as it's happening.
	I wish everybody tuned in tonight could be here with us and partake in this atmosphere.
	If you missed it, you did indeed miss something special.
	Over the course of the last two days, everything kicked off yesterday morning.
	You heard from Brad Griffin, from Dr. Michael Hill, from Sam Dixon, from David Duke, from yours truly.
	And last but not least, our longtime friend, Eddie the Bombardier Miller.
	Those were just some of the speakers that you would have heard this weekend had you been with us in Alabama.
	And you will hear from each and every one of them tonight during the course of the next three hours.
	In Alabama, here we go.
	So without any other delay, let's just get right down to it.
	Let's talk about what you missed.
	Well, you know, you missed fellowship and camaraderie.
	You missed people who are proud of who they are, proud of who their ancestors are, and who are willing to fight for the future.
	That is what we're all about, the past, the present, and the future.
	We know that it is an interconnected continuum, and we're very proud of our southern patrimony.
	And it's always great to be with others who share in that opinion and in that disposition.
	So if we could bring the one and only Hunter Wallace himself, Brad Griffin, he's here, and he's mic'd up now, and he's our first guest of the night.
	Brad, it's always great to have you.
	I pour a glass of wine every time I go to Occidental Descent.
	Occidental Descent, this is no joke, and I'm not just saying this because you're two feet away from me.
	I go to Occidental Descent every single day.
	You are the scribe for our people.
	You're always writing about something interesting and the way you infuse politics and culture and history.
	It all comes together in a perfect synthesis over at OccidentalDescent.com.
	You're one of my all-time favorite writers, a very good, dear friend.
	Obviously, your family is dear to me as well.
	The bombs, your wife, Renee.
	So it's great to be back with you.
	Every time we get together, it's always a good time.
	How are you doing, buddy?
	Doing great, man.
	And thanks for having me.
	And, you know, this is the best occasions when we all get together in real life to, you know, catch up and digest, you know, all that's happened really, you know, in the last two years.
	Because, you know, last year was kind of an off year with the COVID craziness and everything was, seemed everything was shut down.
	Yeah, I think we were the only ones who actually did a little impromptu get together.
	We had to get together for David's 70th birthday, and we did a private conference.
	It was invitation only, of course, and we were able to do that, but American Renaissance didn't happen last year, League of the South.
	And hard to blame them.
	I mean, we really had a tap dance and had to actually move the conference that we were doing across state lines to try to find a county that we could shuck and jive into that would allow it.
	So, yes, last year was hard to have a meeting for anybody.
	I mean, not just movement aficionados, but any event, any concert, any gathering was just very difficult to pull off last year.
	This year, not easy, but we were able to do it today.
	I say we.
	Michael Hill was able to do it today in the League of the South lieutenants.
	And so it has been good because there was that odd year.
	I mean, things are still very strange, and we still don't know where this whole thing's going with COVID and lockdowns and mandates and who knows with the vaccines and where we're going to end up come winter.
	But we were able to have this weekend.
	Tell the audience what, oh, we're coming up already on this first break.
	We're going to carry Brad over to the next segment.
	Then we're going to get Eddie Bombardier Miller.
	You're going to hear again tonight from Michael Hill, Sam Dixon, David Duke, and others.
	Give us a quick tease on what your talk was about, and then we'll follow up more in the next segment.
	Oh, I talked about the withdrawal from Afghanistan and really, really, you know, just 20 years after 9-11.
	Yeah, I mean, let's talk about that for a moment because I know you've been writing about it as well.
	I guess, should we reflect?
	What should we say?
	What should be the appropriate take on 9-11?
	I remember I was at the Turtles, a Turtles concert.
	If anybody remembers the old 60s pop.
	We actually talked about this a couple of weeks ago because we knew it was coming up.
	It was the Turtles, the grassroots.
	Now, this is a hell of a lineup.
	Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, the Buckinghams.
	There was one other.
	Now, you'd have to like 60s.
	This is our weekly nod to the 60s.
	You know, it's coming at some point.
	But I was at that on September the 10th with my grandmother because who else is going to go to that except for somebody that age?
	And we went, and the next morning I woke up and it was 9-11.
	That is, it is an event that you remember.
	Like they say, we weren't around Brad, but everybody remembers where they were when they found out Kennedy had been assassinated.
	It was one of those moments.
	I definitely remember what had happened.
	I definitely still remember finding out about it.
	It was one of those things that certainly leaves an imprint.
	But, of course, it led to the disaster of the 20 years in Afghanistan.
	It was a big boon for the military industrial complex.
	I mean, they made out like thieves.
	But I just don't know what really we could say that would be appropriate about it.
	Other than the United States response to it was, of course, totally mismanaged as you would expect it to be.
	One thing I would say about it is, you know, it is, you know, looking back on it, it has been exactly 20 years since I first came across the movement and got involved in all this.
	It was right in the aftermath of 9-11 when, like, my journey down the rabbit hole began.
	That's interesting to me because you're like a guy who was just always there.
	You're like, God, before there was the world.
	It's been that long.
	There could have never been an entry into you because you've just always been there.
	So that's fascinating, guys.
	That was it.
	I believe it was Pat Buchanan's book, Death of the West, came out right around that time, right around that time.
	But it was 9-11, which had got me interested in politics.
	I was a sophomore at Auburn.
	I remember waking up that day.
	I was about to go to class.
	I turned on the news.
	It was getting a cup of coffee.
	I was about to go to class that morning when I saw the whole attacks and everything.
	And, you know, I think for a lot of people, that like kind of ended that late 90s normal life.
	And it's ever since then.
	You know, it's funny you mentioned that.
	The 90s seemed like Halcyon days.
	Culturally speaking, compared to this dystopian hellscape we find ourselves in.
	And it knocks you out of Normie World.
	I'm waiting.
	I know we've had some troubleshooting tonight.
	I just want to make sure we're not missing the break here.
	There it is.
	I knew it was coming up.
	My clock's a little bit off.
	I know Mr. Producer's not going to let us down, but I never know when we're remote if the connection's still working.
	All right.
	Well, listen, we've got more Brad Griffin this hour.
	He's not going anywhere, so we don't want you to go anywhere.
	And remember, it's an all-star panel tonight.
	Michael Hill, Sam Dixon, David Duke, Andy the Bombardier Miller, maybe some Rick Tyler.
	We'll sprinkle him in.
	And you never know what we're going to do in a live show like this.
	As the night progresses, we only get more wild.
	We're going to have the wild man himself.
	Pappy, Dr. Pappy, we'll be back.
	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 our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.

	Well, my mom smokes and my dad smokes and I saw them smoke until I tried it.
	They're telling me not to smoke, but they smoke themselves.
	When it comes to smoking, are you sending mixed signals?
	But when you teach someone a certain way to do things and you go back on that certain way, it sends mixed signals to the person that they're trying to teach.
	The parents need to be the example.
	Smoking.
	If you think you're old enough to start, you're smart enough to stop.

	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.
	Well, we're having a party, and we're not playing by any rules tonight.
	I mean, Eddie's talking clean through the intro, and that's fine because that's what you do in a live show.
	And I'll tell you what's got Eddie so worked up is that Renee just walked in, the daughter of the late, great, dear friend of mine and a great hero and champion of our people, Gordon Baum.
	Let's raise a glass to Gordon Baum, everybody.
	Obviously, we're drinking, they're drinking a little something else, but we've got water, of course.
	But we're raising a glass of water to Gordon Baum, and what a great man.
	What a great family.
	And so it's always great to see Renee.
	I mean, Brad married in.
	I mean, Brad was already a star in his own right, but Brad really married into movement royalty.
	So this is just like, and Renee's truly, obviously, a Southern Belle because she's got the low-cut cowboy boots on.
	That's the Nashville style.
	I don't know.
	I didn't know it transcended all the way down here to Alabama, but Missouri where they're from.
	But anyway, we're going to have a lot of fun.
	As you can already tell, we're having a lot of fun.
	Brad's going to be back with us in just a second.
	Now, David, Sam, Michael, the other guests, they're out to eat right now.
	They went straight out to eat.
	They're going to come back and anchor the latter half of the show.
	Eddie hasn't eaten yet.
	Eddie's got to go eat.
	So we wanted to get Eddie on.
	Eddie just did a two-hour shift.
	So he's already put in some time tonight.
	But he's about to go eat, and then we're going to get back with Brad, and we're going to be cycling in these fantastic men over the course of the night.
	It's always great to talk to these guys on the radio.
	Even better to talk to them on the radio when they're just feet away, and we're all in here to sort of energize one another.
	Well, Eddie, as I said earlier, when I was giving my remarks today, there was a lot of people in that room that I have known for many, many, many years.
	But there was one that I have known for slightly longer than anyone else.
	And I've made sure to point that out, that it was you.
	And it was you in 2002 when I was running for the state legislature that we first met.
	And I was knocking on doors in Eddie's neighborhood.
	And if they didn't answer the door, I left a brochure or campaign literature.
	And Eddie, we actually had a true brick-and-mortar campaign headquarters.
	We rented out a bay in a strip mall.
	And so Eddie came back up to the campaign headquarters and he left a note saying, hey, I'd like to talk to you.
	I'd like to help you out.
	Give me a call.
	And I called that number back and that man back.
	And it was Eddie Miller.
	And that's how we first met.
	I mean, I'm sure you must have known in that moment that 20 years later, with all the radio and everything we've done and all the people we've met and just now your own program.
	Are you glad you left that note?
	I predicted the whole thing would happen.
	If you didn't leave that note, none of this would have happened.
	I know, it's absolutely amazing.
	And, you know, we've become so close.
	I'll never forget when we used to go out in the beanfield.
	And the people that listen to us, James, including the young Mr. Brad here, who's young enough to be my, he's younger, my youngest daughter.
	You know, when they hear us talk about the beanfield, that's almost like holy ground.
	And what he's talking about with the beanfield, the radio station we were broadcasting at, it had its studio in a beanfield, and it was, you know, it had the building, and it was just out there in the middle of nowhere in the country.
	And we would drive out there every night and do the show.
	It was right there at the edge of the Wolf River Bottoms.
	And I probably told a story a lot of the time.
	It says, James.
	People can recite this story now.
	You've got to tell them about the snakes and the water and the heat and the air conditioner breaking and all the things they had to go through.
	Things are much better now.
	Yes, we were going there.
	Literally, a snake shorted out our printer.
	A snake shore out the whole damn computer room.
	The day around, the owner had to shut the head to get Kazi there to clean the thing out.
	But me and James used to just rave, man.
	We were like fire-breathing lunatics out there.
	It would get so hot.
	You still are that guy.
	As a matter of fact, I got to tell you, I got to tell everyone.
	Your speech today had the same effect on me that you had every time you were on the political cesspool.
	I started sweating.
	I started slinking down in my chair.
	I said, yeah, me and James, we're going to go to Washington.
	My God.
	Well, I tell you this.
	You did tell the truth.
	You never shortcut the truth.
	And the truth is, we love each other.
	We're brothers.
	We know we have each other's backs, but there's no doubt that we've also cussed each other.
	We fought each other physically.
	And Keith.
	Remember one night Keith got pissed off at me?
	He threw a glass of wine in my face, man.
	You know, well, I won't air.
	Me and Keith get into it, slugging it out.
	James over there doesn't know where crapper go blind.
	This is during the radio show.
	Isn't that crazy?
	And then we won't meet Keith crossing.
	It was during a commercial break.
	And I actually, I remember that night.
	This is a true story.
	You came back in, though, just brothers.
	That's what we always do.
	Yeah, that's right.
	It was fun.
	Not even the next day, that night.
	And that was fine.
	We did have to escort you out that night.
	But I remember coming back.
	That all happened during the break.
	And our breaks were three minutes long.
	We came back.
	I sat right back down and went right back into the show.
	Nobody would have ever known that if you didn't just tell that story.
	That was years and years ago.
	Yeah, old Keith always listened.
	No, he's probably down there.
	He's at Omiss.
	You know, if O Miss has a home game, you don't even have to wonder where Keith is.
	I don't know why anybody wastes their time going to Ole Miss, man.
	Well, I talked to somebody about that today.
	So what it is, is it's an artificial substitution for the pride that you should naturally have in your tribe and in your race.
	Since we're denied that, people find a way to express it, and this is what it is right now.
	And it's sort of the same thing.
	Oh, guess what?
	You've heard me say, Dr. Hill said me say, I heard today on my speech.
	Might as well warm it up to give it, if you want to call it a speech.
	It was more.
	Eddie got the hook.
	Rick Tyler gave it.
	Rick Tyler was our MC.
	Eddie was slated for an hour.
	After an hour and 10 minutes, Rick had to go up there with the hook.
	Eddie was saying, you were just warming up.
	That was just your introductory remarks.
	I had all this wonderful, all these wonderful solutions, man.
	But, you know, we want to go down to Ole Miss, and we want Keith going to get us.
	No, no, no, no, you're joking.
	Well, we won't go there.
	Well, you can go broadcast and hand down American flag and hand up real sure.
	And at American Flag.
	And Dr. Hill said he's a spot of security.
	Just let me know.
	Matter of fact, I'll tell you what.
	The League of the South has the best security of.
	I remember one year we had.
	We'll go back to Auburn with you.
	You should get us to me.
	We had a guy that would bring us in back entrances that was driving us around.
	I mean, I say a guy.
	I don't want to say his name.
	I know exactly who he is, and I love him.
	And I hope he's listening.
	But the league takes security seriously.
	Anyway, listen, I know you're about to go have supper.
	Now, you've got to understand in the South, it's a little bit different.
	Dinner is lunch.
	Yes, yes.
	Supper is dinner.
	That's right.
	Other people.
	If you ain't from the South, we don't give a damn.
	So you're about to go have supper.
	But just talk very quickly on.
	We love our Yankee friends, too.
	Well, we read some letters from them today.
	No, we got listeners all over the country and all over the world, but very quickly.
	I mean, we're having a good time, obviously.
	Great time.
	Best people in the world, people.
	Well, we've talked about that in all of our remarks.
	But just as quickly as we can here to wrap up, we're going to go back to Brad and the rest of the guests as the night continues.
	To be here amongst these people, the fellowship, the camaraderie, the feeling, put it in words.
	And I need this.
	You know, people, I was talking to James last night.
	We had a heart.
	Me and you haven't seen each other in months.
	I know.
	I was at the True Hotel.
	My oldest daughter who takes care of me.
	You know, when you get his old exam, your kids come around and the role is reversed.
	She's the only one that will go has the cojones to go to New York when I run the New York Marathon because I get too wild, they say.
	It's propaganda.
	But, you know, I was telling James, James, you know, I said, has all this crap affected you psychologically?
	We talked about this last night.
	And he said, yes, it has.
	I said, this has really messed me up.
	It's messing with my marathons.
	I can't get around New York.
	Well, what we were talking about was the COVID.
	Yes.
	I mean, obviously, that gives you a level of anxiety, just waiting of uncertainty.
	But what you asked me, too, was about, do you ever worry about making an impact?
	And what I said to that was, no, I don't ever worry about that because it is our duty to apply ourselves and the opportunity that we have that can make the biggest difference.
	And obviously, for us, and with what we have at our disposal, it's doing this broadcast.
	And I see if we hopefully we will have an impact in something great and turning the rudder of the country, or we can impact others who will go on to do far greater work and have a far greater impact than we can.
	But I see us as being shepherds of an audience.
	And if we can instill any sense of hope and encouragement, I mean, we've got all these handwritten letters that just came in the mail this week.
	Here's this lady.
	Always look forward to Saturday at 6.
	If we can have a positive impact in the lives of our people and in their mental health and in their well-being, then we've done our job.
	All you can do is be a servant to the people who support you and who make up the business.
	These people that we've been around today have just really done a service to me, Iron Shaw Returns.
	They have really made me feel great.
	You don't have your headset on.
	We got the music.
	We got to take a break.
	You'll hear more from Eddie tonight.
	Brad Griffin back and then more guests to come.
	Proclaiming liberty across the land.
	You're listening to Liberty News Radio, USA Radio News.
	I'm Brad Bernard.
	President Trump on Saturday made a surprise visit to New York City on the 20th anniversary of 9-11.
	Firefighters and police officers broke into cheers and applause when Trump arrived.
	Trump shook hands with the officers and posed for photos.
	The blue.
	We love the blue.
	I'll say it loud.
	You're not supposed to say that.
	The White House failed to meet a deadline last month to provide information to two key Republican senators concerning Joe Biden's use of a private email account as vice president to send government information to his son, Hunter Biden.
	Senators Ron Johnson and Chunk Grassley, the ranking Republicans on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and the Senate Judiciary Committee, respectively, this is USA Radio News.

	Its long staple cotton makes it ultra-soft and breathable.

	An appeals court panel on Friday opted to leave the new Texas law banning most abortions in place for now in the latest decision of its kind.
	The law bans abortions done without an attempt to detect a fetal heartbeat and bars abortions outside of medical emergencies if a heartbeat is detected.
	President Joe Biden's wide-reaching vaccine mandates were announced to cover up the insanity and the debacle of Afghanistan.
	Representative Greg Murphy, Republican of North Carolina, told Newsmax while discussing his recent column about the president's failures.
	You look at our southern border where close to 2 million people may come across the border this year.
	They're not requiring them to be vaccinated either.
	And so this is just one debacle after another.
	And I think Middle America, which in my opinion is the people who actually make how we do national or state elections, have woken up and they didn't like Trump's personality, but now they can't stand Biden's policy.
	This is USA Radio News.
	Welcome back.
	To get on the show, call us on James's Dine at 1-866-986-6397.
	Okay, well, we're back now with Brad Griffin at OccidentalDescent.com.
	Getting a lot of messages already from people tuning into the show.
	I think they picked up, Brad, that this is going to be a lively broadcast.
	Well, it always is when you can feed off of one another.
	But back with you now.
	And we were talking before Eddie came on, and we wanted to work him in very quickly because we needed to go get some supper.
	And everybody else is going to be coming back later on as the show progresses.
	But we started off with mentioning, well, your speech, of course, but then 9-11, this being the 20th anniversary.
	And just quickly, and we've talked about this on several recent shows.
	So I won't go into a long setup here, but you can just respond to this.
	I think that Trump's two biggest issues that propelled him to the presidency in 2016 were Build the Wall, Secure the Border, and his opposition to these foreign entanglements, these neocon wars.
	I mean, that was so refreshing for a Republican frontrunner to break.
	I mean, that was just sort of like Republican orthodoxy, but it was a very popular issue, obviously, within the Republican base.
	And Trump was the only one speaking it.
	And then now, you know, you fast forward to where we are now, and all of the Republicans have basically done everything they could to go on the wrong side of that issue because they think it'll score some sort of political points against Biden to focus on what he may or may not could have done better on the withdrawal.
	It's just nonsensical.
	This is a good issue.
	It's good for America.
	Their base wants it.
	And then they're just, it seems as though they're doing everything they can to blow the slam dunk of the midterms.
	Not that I care.
	The Republicans are not our friends.
	The Democrats aren't either.
	It's hard to have a dog in these fights, but my God, when they revert back to form and they regress to the mean, what's going on here in the Republican Party?
	I mean, I mean, you hit the nail absolutely on the head there.
	I mean, if you look, I mean, going back to George W. Bush, he went out with something like a 30% approval rating.
	And then, you know, the Republicans even doubled down on that.
	They nominated John McCain, who managed to lose Indiana, if I'm not mistaken.
	It was that terrible.
	And then, you know, Mitt Romney was also another one of these, you know, bomb them, bomb them, bomb them.
	And it wasn't until Trump came along and harnessed that independent anti-war energy and said, no, we need to get out of this.
	This is a waste that the Republicans won.
	And it wasn't just immigration, but tying immigration to all the disasters that have gone on on foreign policy.
	But especially for my generation, people my age absolutely made up their minds about politics in that first term of George W. Bush.
	And that had such a, I mean, even people who don't even exactly share our politics agree on the absolute disaster that was Iraq.
	And it just, you know, to see things just reverting back to the way they are is just were before Trump, including Trump himself saying that.
	What's it now?
	Trump.
	I mean, he himself, that's right.
	You're going straight to the man himself.
	He ran on this issue, and then he comes back with this almost unbelievable statement saying we need to go back and liberate the equipment.
	We need to re-invade Afghanistan to liberate the military equipment that was left behind.
	And if we don't do that, we need to bomb them to hell, quote unquote.
	What?
	I mean, one of the last things, the last thing I posted before I came to the conference today was that, did you know that more veterans have killed themselves than died either on 9-11 or in combat in either of these wars or even expanding it includes Syria and elsewhere?
	That's interesting.
	No, I did not know that.
	And the media made a huge deal out of the, I mean, it was terrible what happened at the airport, the ISIS K bombing.
	Speaking of ISIS-K, another group that didn't exist until we went in there, right?
	And we've been losing, I mean, for every day, for days, for years and years, they've been losing that number of veterans, killing themselves while suicide, as died, you know, from the blast.
	But I think it's never- What, from PTSD or just wondering what in the hell, or just being injured and having to live with lifelong mainings?
	And especially lately, there's been a spike in it, I want to say, since a lot of veterans were just asking themselves, what was the point of all this?
	Why did I get injured and sick and go through this traumatic experience?
	I mean, these generals obviously had no clue what they were doing.
	They were just feeding people into the meat grinder.
	Well, I think that's just all you can say.
	It was a folly to go over there.
	We've covered this at length the last couple of weeks.
	So I don't want to spend Brad's time recovering something that I think he would probably agree with us on word for word.
	But yes, yes, yes.
	Brad just told me something in the last break that was amazing.
	Obviously, I've been down here, so I haven't been following the news as closely as I normally would if I was at home.
	But like a bad penny, George W. Bush has turned back up and he made a statement today.
	Yeah, it was, you know, they were doing the commemoration of the 9-11.
	So, of course, he would be having a microphone on that day.
	Yeah, and he was comparing domestic extremists and domestic terrorists were motivated by the same spirit It is the foreign terrorist.
	Okay, now we could agree with that in a certain context.
	If he's talking about the legitimate domestic extremists, which are, of course, Black Lives Matter and Antifa, but I'm guessing that's not who he meant.
	He meant the phantom so-called white nationalist extremists.
	And that was actually something that I had intended to bring up today.
	How completely removed from reality.
	There is no data, no facts.
	I mean, between me and you, Brad, anybody who would be considered to be a so-called white nationalist, we probably know.
	And it just doesn't happen.
	I mean, yes, you have your very random, bizarre, lone wolf person who was never a part of any of these groups that we belong to, like a Dylan Roof, who does something that obviously is wrong and makes it harder for the people who are pulling in the right direction on the right issues to be able to continue.
	But that's nothing compared.
	I mean, BLM has a hell of a higher body count than that.
	I mean, I think back in the waning days of the Obama administration, they were killing cops, cops down in Dallas, New Orleans, Louisiana, rather, Baton Rouge.
	I mean, these things unfortunately happen every now.
	I mean, once in a blue moon.
	Once in a blue moon, a white man will kill somebody.
	Yes, it does happen.
	I mean, even this year, it seems like it's been quieter this year than it has been in at least the last decade that I've seen.
	There hasn't been any of these kind of shits.
	Well, just this whole thing, burning down city after city, that's not domestic extremism.
	That's not even a cause, a crime worthy of arrest.
	I mean, it looked like you saw some of the, I heard he condemned Ashley Babbitt, who actually went over to Afghanistan some like seven times.
	And Sam Dixon, who will come on this show in a minute, he's so right about when he calls the Bush family jumped up white trash.
	I mean, I will tell you this: I have more disdain for people like that than I ever did any people of other races.
	These people, these are the worst of the worst, and they are the ones who truly deserve a comeuppance.
	Yeah, I mean, hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of in terms of losing status and position and stuff like that.
	Like our friend on Twitter, give him a shout out, Battle Beagle.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Said that you could literally float a battleship on all the blood of all the people that George W. Bush spilt.
	And he wants to say, you know, we're the evildoers.
	You know, it's interesting that George W. Bush has become a darling of the left, a darling of the MSNBC.
	I mean, he was, of course, like everybody else.
	Extra respect.
	Liz Cheney, too.
	Liz Cheney's also a heroine of the Democrats.
	It's as bad as you get.
	You can't blame other people for doing things that are in the best interest of their extended racial family.
	But I will take umbrage with whites who betray their family and work against their own best interests.
	And this thing, the Bushes, all these people.
	I mean, there's no shortage of them.
	I mean, anybody in corporate America.
	But to hear what you said today about Bush comparing what the assuming the story is true, of course, and that's a big assumption.
	But assuming it's true, let's just, for argument's sake, say Al-Qaeda took down the Twin Towers.
	To compare that to white people who don't want to die, white people who want to survive, white people who value their culture and way of life and ancestry.
	I believe he was comparing it to January 6th.
	Was that the context?
	I believe that.
	I believe that.
	But again, that's still more of our people.
	That's still our people.
	Misguided and maybe a little silly and overzealous.
	But I mean, even that was nothing compared to your Garden Varati BLM riot of 2020.
	There was no organization in January 6th.
	It was a spontaneous riot.
	That's right.
	That's exactly right.
	Yeah.
	And anybody and everybody would know that.
	I know.
	And like, you know, these people, you know, they take no responsibility for creating these jihadists like Osama bin Laden, who for decades, you know, I mean, the CIA knew who he was because they're the ones who, you know, literally created him, armed him.
	That's right.
	Yesterday's friends are today's enemies, or maybe it's the opposite.
	Yesterday's enemies are today's friends.
	You just never know.
	Shout out to the intelligence community there for creating the jihadists that they have fought so hard against.
	Well, the whole thing was a racket.
	I mean, war is a racket.
	Who was that?
	Smedley Butler?
	I mean, this whole thing was to make the military industrial complex rich.
	We could also say that, you know, COVID is a racket, too.
	And that was created by...
	Boy, that's a whole other can of worms, man.
	And that's an ever-evolving and very fluid can of worms.
	God only knows what this thing is going, and it does change on a weekly basis.
	But, well, there's the music, so we got to take a break.
	OccidentalDescent.com, my favorite website in the whole wide world, occidentaldescent.com.
	Brad Griffin is here with us.
	And we may be lucky enough to cajole his wife to come on.
	I would love to hear from the daughter of Gordon and Linda Baum.
	And congratulations to you on your family and on all the work you do.
	You're a great friend and a great leader and a great mind and a great thinker and a great writer for our people.
	And we may hear from Brad more still, but we got Rick Tyler coming up next.
	Stay tuned, everybody.
	How do you know your child loves you?
	When he calls and he says, Dad, why don't we go fishing?
	Just very simple, but it really counts.
	Make a song up and they come into our bedroom and say, We made a song and will you listen to me?
	Our next year's daughter came to me with tears in her eyes.
	She said, Daddy, I just thank you for coming home every night when we were growing up.
	My son does the nicest things.
	When he's playing outside, he'll come in and just give me a hug and run right back outside.
	Daughter goes to the same high school that I'm the registrar at.
	And I'll go into my office after the bell has rung and there's a note on my desk.
	And it'll usually say, Mom, I love you.
	I'm thinking about you.
	And I think of my boy that we finally got him through graduation.
	And he came up to me and said, I made it.
	Thanks.
	Family.
	Isn't it about time?
	That's all I said.
	And that meant everything to me.
	From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
	As you all know, Roe versus Wade has resulted in some of the most permissive abortion laws anywhere in the world.
	For example, in the United States, it's one of only seven countries to allow elective late-term abortions, along with China, North Korea, and others.
	Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother's womb in the ninth month.
	It is wrong.
	It has to change.
	Americans are more and more pro-life.
	You see that all the time.
	In fact, only 12% of Americans support abortion on demand at any time.
	Under my administration, we will always defend the very first right in the Declaration of Independence, and that is the right to life.
	As a parent, is receiving a faith-based, character-focused education for your children difficult to find?
	Do you believe that godly principles should be a central component in your child's education?
	Imagine a school where faith and integrity are at its center, where heritage and responsibility instill character.
	For over 40 years, American Heritage School has been educating both hearts and minds, bringing out academic excellence.
	This is the school where character and embracing the providence of a living God are fundamental, where students' national test scores average near the 90th percentile.
	With American Heritage School's advanced distance education program, distance is no longer an issue.
	With an accredited LDS-oriented curriculum from kindergarten through 12th grade, your children can attend from anywhere in the world.
	American Heritage School will prepare your child for more than a job.
	It will prepare them for life.

	Welcome back.
	To get on the show, call us on James' Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
	Well, welcome back, everybody.
	Brad Griffin is still in the room.
	Other guests are going to be coming in here and cycling in, cycling out.
	And another one of those aforementioned guests just walked in during the last break, and that was none other than Rick Tyler.
	Rick Tyler, the Make America White Again Billboard Rick Tyler, candidate for office, Rick Tyler, and MC of the League of the South 2021 National Conference, Rick Tyler.
	But he's a lot more than that, ladies and gentlemen.
	I knew about his family, but it's worth repeating.
	This is Rick's story to tell.
	Rick, tell us about it.
	Well, I have a rather large family by contemporary standards.
	Yeah, by biblical standards, Rick.
	What are you talking about?
	Tell them how many kids.
	How many kids?
	Well, I have 19, and number 20 is on the way, right?
	19 kids, and number 20 is on the way.
	That is one man siring 20 children in this day and age.
	And I told you in my speech today that one of the things that the media always, one of their go-to's is to prove my so-called white supremacist bona fides is that we have an item in our statement of principles that reads, we wish to revive the white birth rate through replacement level fertility and beyond, which means what that means is, simply put, we want to be able to survive.
	We want to survive.
	We want to have replacement level fertility.
	Boy, we've had our champion right here, Rick Tyler.
	19 kids, one on the way.
	He's in his 60s and still siring these children.
	And they are, you'd have to meet them to fully appreciate and understand the most well-mannered, unbelievable, well-put-together kids, intelligent, smart, dutiful.
	It's a fantastic story, Rick.
	Thank you.
	Well, thank you, James.
	And, of course, you know, I give all glory to God for the ability to have built a family of the size that we have.
	And it's a tremendous blessing.
	Of course, obviously, it's a lot of responsibility and a lot of work, but many people labor under misconceptions like, okay, well, how can you have so many children?
	You know, you've got to send them all to college and you've got to do this and you've got to do that.
	That was something, pardon the interruption, that was something you made mention of in your speech, which was remarkable.
	You've never had health insurance on any of them.
	You've never done any of these things.
	And you get by and they get by and they get by very healthy with a great deal of health.
	They're very healthy.
	And obviously, they're right thinking.
	Right.
	And, you know, occasionally something will happen.
	There'll be a mishap.
	Like we have a restaurant.
	And one of my sons, you know, one time he got his fingers too close to the meat slicer, you know, and had a lot of fun.
	You said just this year you had, out of all of those kids, the first broken bone.
	That's right.
	Out of 19 children, my six-year-old son just broke his arm two weeks ago, and that was the first broken bone that we've ever had.
	You know, I'm trying to do the math right here because I have three kids, and I know the child tax credit.
	So I'm trying to figure out.
	I get it.
	This is the family business.
	No, I'm just kidding.
	I'm kidding.
	Well, that's another interesting aspect of this, James, because none of my children have social security numbers.
	So there are, so there are no financial benefits.
	I did not know that.
	No, no, no, no benefits.
	Now, I will say this.
	When the children come of age, they then choose whether or not they want to have that number.
	Of course, I'm pretty cynical about the socialistic insecurity number.
	The socialistic insecurity.
	That is.
	I learned something every time we speak, Rick.
	I've known you for years.
	I didn't know that.
	Let's put it this way, James.
	If I had been willing to play by the conventional rules and get SS numbers for all of my children, you would be getting and then get earned income credit for all of them.
	I could have made millions of dollars, literally.
	Not looking at me.
	Anybody who's a parent knows this.
	But I've never taken one dime of money from the state in any way, shape, or form.
	Not wick, not anything.
	Remarkable.
	Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause wherever you may be for this man for that.
	That is one of the most.
	Rick, I seldom get astonished.
	Nearly 20 years of this cause, 17 of them on the radio.
	That is one of the most memorable and unbelievable, I say unbelievable, not that I don't believe it, but just remarkable stories I've ever heard.
	We could probably go the whole show talking about your family dynamics.
	I think we may do that another time.
	But right now, I want to shift gears, if you don't mind, and talk about the reason we are actually together in this room tonight, just a couple of feet apart.
	And that is, of course, the League of the South National Conference.
	And that's where the focus needs to be tonight.
	And you were the MC, and I think I was talking about it before you walked into the room.
	You did a very good job.
	You did a very good job with your speech.
	It was a very memorable oration.
	But then, in addition to that, you were serving as the MC and sort of introducing the speakers and keeping the program running.
	What did people miss who weren't here?
	What did they not be able to enjoy?
	Well, you know, I think we seem to always say this after these conferences, whether it's the League of the South or the other ones we've been involved in, the very excellent meetings you've put on.
	But it seems like we always, you know, have a fantastic, a phenomenal, you know, litany of people and speakers.
	But it really does seem that way this weekend.
	This one certainly ranks, in my estimation, you know, very high when you consider men like Dr. Hill and Sam Dixon and, of course, yourself.
	You give a fantastic speech.
	I've never heard you speak where it wasn't very inspiring and just very entertaining.
	I would say the same about you in all sincerity.
	In all sincerity, I would say the same.
	Well, thank you.
	You're a great orator, and you have a way with words and delivery that excels and surpasses most.
	Well, you know, James, communication, as you well know, you're a great communicator and the ability to communicate to people and not make things too simple, yet not make them too complicated either.
	That's the needle that we have to thread, I think, in this business.
	And so the longer we do it, we get better at it.
	But I'm just honored to be in the company of the people that we're currently rubbing shoulders with.
	And guys like Brad, he's got such depth also.
	And you guys are quite a bit younger than I am.
	I'm 63.
	You guys are in your early 40s or 40-ish.
	But for your age, you have such tremendous experience and so much to show for the years that you've been laboring in these trenches.
	Our entire adult lives for Brad and I, ever since I became an adult.
	I'm late teen.
	We've been in this.
	But I think it means more, Rick.
	Feel free to agree or disagree that it does mean more to a certain extent.
	The harder it becomes, the harder it becomes, the more I value the friendships and the camaraderie and the fellowship of other people who are willing to take a risk and to pay a price.
	If Dr. Hill has paid a price, and he'll be paying a price in Charlottesville next month when that just completely wicked and unjust trial takes place.
	He's putting it all on the line.
	It'll be all on the line for him, and we'll talk to him about that.
	I don't know how much he can say about that, but we'll mention it, that he's a part of that.
	That's no secret.
	We've mentioned it before.
	Everybody knows that.
	But the more difficult it becomes to do one's duty, the more I value those who are willing to take that stand.
	Well, I concur wholeheartedly.
	There's nothing like the challenges that persecution and hardship brings that bring out either the worst or the best in a person.
	Sometimes it causes people to just disappear and fall off the radar screen.
	I think Eddie alluded to that during his talk today at the conference, that after Charlottesville, certain people became scarce and hard to even get to respond to communication.
	But when people are faced with a challenge, then they have the opportunity to grow and to rise to the occasion.
	And like the German philosopher said, that which does not destroy me only makes me stronger.
	And that is true.
	And who I'm talking about, obviously.
	And truth is truth no matter who.
	Obviously Freud.
	Yeah, but I think he was the favorite philosopher of the man who led the Third Reich.
	But at any rate, truth is truth, irrespective of the source.
	Well, you know, that's another thing.
	Did Hitler believe that the sun rose in the east and set in the west?
	Did that make it not true?
	Did Hitler believe that water was wet?
	Is that untrue?
	No, it's not.
	And there is truth.
	Well, you know, maybe we can segue a little into Hitler here.
	Are you waiting for that?
	Most people, I've been waiting for that opportunity for years.
	I think that's the first time his name has been mentioned on this program in 20 years.
	You know, it is interesting, though, how people who wax profound about Hitler, I always ask him, have you read Mein Kampf by any chance?
	And nobody has, you know.
	Well, I mean, that's the thing.
	Read all sides, read everything.
	Read the pro, read the con, read from the source itself, and then draw your own conclusions.
	That's all one can ask.
	But, yeah, I mean, what, the Audubon wasn't good?
	The interstate system we have here and a knockoff of that.
	Werner von Braun that sent us to space.
	I mean, there has to be nuance.
	There has to be nuance.
	You have to be able to have an adult conversation.
	And that's what's lacking here.
	You can't have an adult conversation.
	If certain names or regimes are brought up, you have to, oh, so horrible.
	Everything about them was evil.
	You know, the whole Jesse Owens thing was a joke.
	Even Jesse Owens himself said Hitler treated him with respect.
	It was Roosevelt who didn't give him any respect.
	That was Jesse Owens himself, but that's not the written narrative.
	Why was George Washington, well, not anymore, but for a long time considered a hero?
	And Robert E. Lee, not?
	Because George Washington won.
	The victors are the righteous, and the defeated are the enemies, and that's just the way it is because the victors write the history.
	And, of course, the political cesspool is the embodiment of that forum where you can have that adult conversation.
	Well, we have an adult conversation.
	We can bring up names and we can bring up topics and we can bring up historical situations and talk about them.
	Agree or disagree, we can talk about them, but we're not ever, we will never resort to the completely childish and completely inappropriate knee-jerk reactions.
	So let's have a conversation and we'll see.
	We'll let the truth be told.
	Our first hour is over, if you can believe it.
	Two more hours to come.
	I don't know if it'll get better from here, but it will stay as good.
