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.
Well, welcome everybody to what promises to be an energetic live broadcast of TPC this evening.
It is Saturday night, April the 30th, and we've given you a double shot of special series, March Around the World last month, our Confederate History Month annual showcase this month.
It's wrapping up tonight, and we will, in fact, wrap it up later this evening.
But first, but first, Elon Musk officially, well, very nearly, owns Twitter.
What does it mean?
We're going to be discussing this seismic shift.
And I don't think that's putting any exaggerating, putting it in an exaggerating way, a seismic shift in great detail this evening when we're joined by author and columnist, and he's a hell of a commentator as well, Paul Kersey.
Paul, welcome back to the show.
Great to have you.
Abbey Confederate Memorial Month.
Forgot about that.
So that's a great way to kick it off.
Well, absolutely.
You are, of course, into that as well, as so many people of our audience.
And it's not just a regional thing.
It's a very popular series here, and we get people that tune in around the country and around the world even who say this is their favorite month of the year on TPC.
So great to have you.
Although that's not exactly what we're talking about tonight, when I heard the thing, or at least right now with you, when I heard about Elon Musk closing the deal here, and there was some uncertainty about that, I said, we got to get Paul Kersey on.
I think Paul would be the most perfect guest to have to talk about this particular topic.
We're going to bring Keith Alexander on in just a moment.
He is very eager to talk to you as well.
And we're all loaded for this one.
I, of course, follow Paul, and we'll give you all of his contact information in just a moment on Twitter.
And he's had some great takes on this.
Again, Paul, are we exaggerating it when we say seismic shift?
And when you write things like, and with that, one of the most unpredictable acts in the 21st century has happened.
How big is this thing?
Are we getting overzealous?
Is it another Trump?
Is it Fool's Gold?
Because we seem to have that same sort of 2016 energy behind this thing.
No, this might even be beyond that, James.
That's not hyperbole.
You know, you talk about big tech being sort of like Pangea.
You know, I don't want to get into the specifics of evolution or anything, but the idea that all of the continents were 1.1 big landmass and then they broke apart.
That's what big tech has been since Donald Trump won in 2016.
They all kind of came together.
They kicked off all the far right, all the really interesting people.
You know, James, remember Ricky Vaughn, he back in 2016, he was more prominent on Twitter than some of the biggest news organizations in terms of his reach.
Yes.
And to see Elon Musk, who got upset, mind you, that his friends at Babylon B were kicked off.
He did this really strange interview with Babylon B. That's a satirical right-wing sort of onion-type site.
He did this right before Christmas in 2021, and he talks about wokeism being a cancer.
Again, he's not one of us, but he's not one of us, James.
And to your audience, if you guys aren't on Twitter, this is one of those moments where that tectonic shift has happened and that Pangea, that big tech idea breaking apart.
And now Twitter, James, as we've seen by the hysterical reactions by the left saying, hey, it's our job to make people to tell people what to think.
That was one of the MSNBC hosts.
Yes, yes, I saw that.
Yeah, the lawyer, the Indian lawyer for Twitter, their main lawyer, cries to, when she's addressing the company on April 26 over the takeover.
I mean, the left knows that without censorship, without the ability to silence their opposition, 2016 happens.
So that's why this is just a seismic shift.
And I think we're selling it up.
Well, you wrote this, and I want to toss it to Keith.
We are going to develop this for the full hour.
We are really going to do a deep dive into this.
So hopefully we'll attack it from all of the angles you would expect with a guest like Paul Kerzy on.
But this is another thing you wrote, Paul.
Trump monitored the situation for four years, but in less than a month, Elon Musk owns it.
The post-Trump riot started today.
The post-Trump right started the day.
Keith, your thoughts on this?
Say hello to Paul.
I know you're a big fan.
Yeah, Paul, good to have you on the show.
There have been some dissonant voices on the distant right about Elon Musk.
You know, is he Jewish?
Is he this type of the other?
But quite frankly, I don't see how any change could not be a change for the better, or at least not any worse than what Twitter is to the dissident right at the present time.
And basically, all the usual suspects and all of our enemies from Hillary Clinton to the New York Times are wringing their hands and predicting Armageddon.
So, you know, I guess the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
It's very interesting.
And it's one, and we really wonder what he has in mind.
But if he has in mind what he has proposed, which is basically anything goes except for threats of violence or something of that nature, then it's really going to be the best thing that could ever have happened to the distant right.
What do you think?
I mean, he yesterday, I'm sorry, on April 26th, somebody asked him a question about the whole New York Post article on Hunter Biden that Twitter shut down.
And they actually locked the New York Post out over something that subsequently, the Washington Post and New York Times admitted a year later.
Oh, yep, that report was 100% true.
And Musk tweeted, yeah, this makes no sense why this didn't happen.
It's little things like that that it's not about, you know, Keith and James, it's not really about the dissident right, but it's about voices that are against egalitarianism and that point out just the absurdity of what's happening with critical race theory, the anti-white stuff that we saw explode in Loudoun County and become the biggest issue in Virginia that elected Governor Yunkin, the transgender stuff where we saw DeSantis.
Literally in four days, they passed a bill to strip Disney of their rules.
And it was within four days.
And that goes back to what you said, James.
Donald Trump monitored a situation.
He had, when he took office, the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate.
They could have done anything.
Instead, regrettably, they tried to pass Milquetoast, Beltway, Heritage Foundation, conservative nonsense.
I think that Republican Party has been replaced by an energy that we're seeing at all these town, all these school board meetings, by this reaction to, wait a second, you know, there are only two genders.
These people who say otherwise are sick.
And I think that's, remember, that's why Babylon B got locked out from Twitter because they tweeted about that weird dude from Pennsylvania who thinks he's a woman.
I can't remember what his position is in the Biden administration.
Yeah, Rachel Levina going by Rachel Levina.
It's some sort of a health and it's so James and Keith.
It's so like, I don't even like talking about it because it's like we're run by the weirdest elite that the Romans wouldn't even understand.
And I think that's why when you see, when you, oh, we're at a break.
Yeah, got to take a quick break.
Take a quick break.
Paul Kersey is with us.
We're getting at tonight's show.
Started up in a big way.
We'll be right back.

Let's restore the miracle that changed the world at LovingLiberty.net.
Yeah, I gotta admit a little bit of that election night 2016 vibe when I was just watching this meltdown on all the network news.
I stayed up late until the, of course, Trump was pronounced the winner.
And, you know, listen, we're not relitigating all of that.
We're not revisiting all of that.
know how it all turned out, but I got to admit, getting a little drunk on the tears a couple of days ago, really all week, and I had to turn off Twitter.
I was just getting lightheaded.
And this is, as we turn it back to Paul Kersey, by the way, folks, check him out at the UNS Review, U-N-Z.com slash S-B-P-D-L.
We'll have that up on Twitter.
Actually, it's up there right now for the live show.
Over there at UNS.
Paul Kersey's work is just phenomenal.
Great writer, great guy.
Known him for damn near as long as we've been doing the show.
But let's go back to a few of the comments some of our friends and allies have made, Paul, and we'll get your reaction to that.
This is Scott McConnell over at the American Conservative.
The sad thing is, he writes, is that so many progressives, not marginal people, but people with influential jobs, now seem to really believe that free speech is fascism.
Not sure that even Elon Musk can defeat that.
It's a brand new thing in American history.
And of course, this goes back to the iconic meme in Starship Troopers, I guess.
It's afraid.
It's afraid of a true digital marketplace or any sort of marketplace of ideas.
And I saw Paul, this is a new one.
And Elon Musk will be faced with challenges that I'm sure perhaps even he hasn't considered, inso much as the European Union has now declared that if he gets too lax on free speech, well, that's left open to interpretation, of course, that Twitter will be banned in the EU nations.
Paul?
We have no idea what's going to end up happening.
The main thing is we do now have a really good idea that our enemies have basically equated free speech with, again, we've known this for a while.
They'll hate speech, fascism, like you said about Scott McConnell.
The point is, they resigned themselves about a decade ago when Pat Buchanan was fired from MSNBC.
And the reason was because you can't bring up these ideas of the great replacement, white displacement, mass immigration eroding the white population in the United States.
Well, guess what?
That's the type of stuff that got Trump elected.
And now on Twitter, you couldn't even talk about a lot of stuff like that before.
And now you're seeing a lot of these people who do sort of talk about this.
Like Jesse Kelly, Clay Travis.
You know, they call out our enemies for what they are, James and Keith.
They're communists.
That's all they are.
They're communists by any other name.
And that's the reaction that we saw.
And that's why I believe we've seen this seismic shift that's taken place with this purchase.
And, you know, there's no going back now.
I mean, it's just a new right, and it's the post-Trump right.
And now the question is, who is going to get to the right of Donald Trump and position themselves after the after, you know, Republicans don't deserve what's going to happen in 2022 when they sweep things, probably take back both the House and Senate and hopefully impeach Biden and the Department of Homeland Security guy.
But somebody in 2024 is going to come out there, probably someone we don't know about yet, and they're going to have the opportunity to step up.
And we'll look back and say, hey, it's because perhaps Elon Musk was able to show how the algorithm for right-wing accounts to grow.
And there was digital manipulation.
And it's been going on since the night Trump won in 2016.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you know, and you've probably experienced this too, Paul.
I want to toss it back to Keith, but I have experienced just more followers in the last couple of days, more growth than I had in the last couple of years.
One more comment from Hunter Wallace.
Why this is so important?
Hunter writes over at Occidental Descent, Elon Musk's first job at Twitter should be to investigate what has been going on.
This is your point.
What has been going on there since 2016 and expose all the ways the website has been rigged and censored to force woke progressivism down the throats of the public?
This needs to come out right away.
And I think Twitter is the most influential social media platform and the media agrees.
In fact, I'm reading now from an establishment news or a system news or a regime media news article, as Peter Brimlow would call it.
This is an earthquake in global media and politics where Twitter hosts the discourse.
Paul, quick reaction to that.
I want to bring Keith back in.
100%.
You know, even someone that we probably don't agree with, Ben Shapiro, on a lot of things, has said, investigate and open up the books, open up the algorithm, open source everything.
You know, I've liked Donald Trump since I started reading about his goals with Tesla.
I'm sorry, Elon Musk.
I've loved Elon Musk since I read about what he did with Tesla SpaceX, the boring company.
You know, his company probably, they've never published the demographic data of their employees.
There's a reason for that.
They're competent and they keep getting sued for racial discrimination.
But the point is, they're trying to actually get us to the stars.
They're trying to improve.
Well, actually, yes.
And it probably looks a lot like NASA did.
I know you're a big fan of some of those space movies, Apollo 13 and some of these others that we cite so often.
But yeah, it probably looks a lot like NASA did when NASA was actually getting things done.
Keith?
Well, I have two questions, Paul.
First of all, you know, the Jews always ask, is it good for the Jews?
Whether we like it or not, we are the distant right.
You are, we are at TPC.
The first question is, is this good for the distant right?
And the second thing is, what is, you know, the deep state and the establishment going to do if, for example, voices that they don't like start predominating in Twitter and in the tech world.
We've already seen a glimpse of what they could do with what's happening in Europe.
They can come down and try to pass laws to outlaw them and shut them up.
What do you think they have in store?
There's obviously going to be a great turnover down at Twitter.
I'm sure that the people that have been in Twitter are not going to like the new regime and they're going to either abandon ship or be made to Walt the Plain.
What do you see in the future for this?
Well, I'll just the first, I'll answer the latter question first.
When Donald Trump won, the Russia hoax was formulated, and that basically took a lot of the energy out of the sales administration because you had to spend four years going on and on about that, which turned out to not only be false, but people should be in jail for what happened over that.
And then, of course, we had members of the deep state come out and say, oh, no, this Hunter Biden laptop thing isn't true.
I think 31 people didn't sign like an affidavit or something under oath that, oh, no, no, this is false.
Yeah, obviously the deep state's going to come after because, you know, they have a, they've made their deal with the proverbial devil, and it's about globalism and the great replacement.
And I'm not saying that Musk is opposed to that, but Musk's goals of, you know, colonizing Mars and, you know, doing really cool things that, you know, guess what?
Walt Disney and Verna von Braun were talking about doing in the 1950s, which actually helped propel NASA and create NASA with some of the amazing things they talked about.
That's why I'm so excited about this.
And that's why, you know, Musk is an enemy of the ruling elite.
And, you know, I guarantee there'll be hit pieces coming out about his South Africa background.
You've already seen Tim Wise call him, you know, Tim Wise, the anti-white guy, call him apartheid boy.
Yeah, he's supposedly the acolyte of the apartheid movement come back to life, according to Tim Wise.
So then to answer your first question, is it good, Virginia?
Yes, of course it's good.
I mean, you basically get to see just how anti-white these people are.
Someone on The View, not a show that I watch that much, some mulatto-looking chick came out and said, oh, he's just trying to restore white heterosexual voices on Twitter as if that's what free speech means.
Good.
So it's like, okay, that's really cool.
Well, what's wrong with that, right?
Yeah.
Well, the Inc. hasn't even dried yet on this, but I can tell you, and I know you're a prolific tweeter as well, Paul, but I've had people contacting me saying, hey, I've been banned from my account or suspended for two years, four years, whatever.
It's great to be able to follow you again.
I mean, we're seeing a lot of that just this week.
So of course we'll see where it goes.
They're going to have traps for him that will be set up and hit pieces and all the things that they use.
They've got a lot in their arsenal.
But again, you're dealing now with, and I've seen him refer to this by quite a few people in the controlled press, the most powerful man in the world.
Not only is he the richest man in the world, but everything that he's dedicated his life's work to are the issues of the future.
They're the companies and the corporations and the concerns and the questions of the future.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
Can they bring down such a man?
He's going to make the First Amendment a reality is basically the takeaway that I get from it.
And that scares the left no end because they are the enemies of free speech.
You know, he tweeted out something that I think really should put a bow around all this and make people understand that, you know, it's not doom and gloom.
We aren't doomed.
He put out a great tweet, and it was believe in the future.
And James, Keith, that's what we have to understand.
We don't know what's going to happen.
And who could have thought that Donald Trump would spend four years monitoring the situation and Elon Musk just said, you know what?
I'm going to buy two.
How about it?
Listen, we live in interesting times.
That's something Keith always brings up.
We're going to talk about some provocative things when we come back.
I know you'll not be surprised by that, but we'll see what Paul's reaction to it is.
Stay tuned, everybody.

Russia's state-owned energy company, Gazprom, announced Wednesday morning that it has fully cut gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria.
Some are saying it's retaliation for their support of Ukraine at this time of war.
The gas company says it's because Poland and Bulgaria refused to pay their bill in Russian rubles.
Congress will hear testimony today regarding the border crisis that continues to get worse.

We inherited a problem from the previous administration.
When President Trump was in office, we saw a manageable 400 migrants a month.
Now we're up to almost 8,000 migrants a month.

The world's oldest person has died in Japan.
Kenneth Burns reports.
Kane Tanaka of Japan, who was recognized as the world's oldest person, has died at age 119.
Born in January 1903, Tanaka enjoyed playing Othello and had a pension for chocolate and fizzy drinks.
She was certified as the oldest living person in 2019 when she was 116 years old.
City officials in her hometown of Fukuoka say she lives at a nursing home and was in and out of the hospital only recently.
With Tanaka's death, the world's oldest human is now Lucille Randon, a 118-year-old French nun known as Sister Andre.
The older you are, the less you fret about aging where you are at.
The insight from a new Associated Press poll found that U.S. adults ages 65 and older feel much better prepared to age in their own homes than those in the final stretches of their working years.
The outlook among those 65 and older is upbeat, with nearly eight in 10 saying they are extremely or very prepared to stay in their current home as long as possible.

Always a night, I circle on the annual broadcast calendar when we get Paul Kersey in here.
Longtime friend, outstanding commentator.
Go to the top of my Twitter feed tonight at JamesEdwards TPC, and you can link over to Paul's Twitter handle and from there over to his home base at The Uns Review.
Also, Paul is featured quite regularly by our friend Jared Taylor at American Renaissance.
I want to pivot ever so slightly while still keeping the issue of Elon Musk and Twitter in the grand scheme of things here.
Paul, a quick response to this, if you don't mind, and then I want to ask you something else.
Elon Musk is what he is.
I think you put it perfectly.
He may not be our friend, but he is not our friend.
And so I think that's the best I've heard it put yet, in fact.
But throughout history, almost all change is always top-down.
Now, the people at the top certainly need the other people.
You don't have a top-down revolution without anybody to serve.
But it also proves, I think, this thing with Musk and with Twitter and Twitter being the preeminent social media platform of our time, it proves that things can change quickly if you have men of vision and men of action.
History is volatile and history is chaotic.
We are not predestined to lose.
And the future will be chaotic as well.
But there's always hope.
And whatever Elon Musk is, and however this plays out, it just goes to show it's unpredictable.
Paul?
Let me say this before we get into it.
What I think is that if Musk can unite the libertarians with right-wingers and keep a, you know, the group of normies in the middle that call themselves conservatives, I think he could be the new world leader in some way.
Not necessarily politically, but in terms of thought.
What do you think?
Paul, to both of those points.
Yeah, I think really going back to what James said, you know, there's a great quote from the Michael Crichton book, Jurassic Park.
It's linearity is an artificial way of viewing the world.
Real life is a series of interconnected events occurring one after another, like beads strung on a necklace.
Life is actually a series of encounters at which one event may change those that follow in a wholly unpredictable, even devastating way.
And, you know, who could have predicted what would happen the horror of what happened in 2017 at Charlottesville and what happened afterwards?
Who could have predicted the way that the deep state was able to mobilize Americans who knew something wrong had happened in the 2020 election and do what they did on January 6th and entrap so many great patriotic Americans, including Chris Jericho, the wrestler?
His wife was there at the Stop the School rally.
I mean, again, so many people know something is wrong.
And it's not about uniting these different spears.
It's about channeling that energy that elected Junkin.
You know, James, Keith, go back to 2018.
How many votes did DeSantis beat Andrew Gillum by in Florida?
About as many of the people who are in this studio tonight are on the line right now.
I mean, just a few thousand, honestly.
It was just over 30,000 votes.
30,000 votes changed the trajectory.
Andrew Gillum was a guy who people thought was going to be the next, the actual first African-American president, a guy who was the mayor of Tallahassee.
They thought, oh, this guy's going to be a Senate candidate.
You know, he'll definitely win the governorship if he runs.
He could be a vice presidential candidate.
And then what happens?
Turns out that he's a homosexual who was found after a three-day meth been passed out with a couple of male homosexual prostitutes and his career is done in politics.
That guy almost won the governorship of Florida.
Would all the stuff that we've seen happen in Florida, gentlemen, have happened with DeSantis going to war with anti-white critical race theory?
Would the Disney war have happened, which is now seeing Disney lose $50 billion in their market capitalization since all this stuff happened?
You don't know what's going to happen.
And that's the beautiful thing.
Yes, bad things happen.
You recover from them.
You learn from your mistakes.
But when something really exciting happens, like Musk on a random whim deciding to buy Twitter and putting forth this bid, I mean, you know, this is a seismic shift.
And I just think back to that election in Florida.
What would happen with the great state of Florida?
Well, look at Florida, too.
Let me just say this.
Florida, you see what happens when popular sentiment gets linked with governmental power.
And Big Mayo is going to reach another moment.
Good point.
Yeah.
And so there was a go ahead.
Well, Keith, you and I are actually going to cover this in a little bit greater detail in the second hour, an article that we found about everything that's going on in Florida.
Of course, we know about Disney.
And I had to read that twice, Paul, about the $50 billion they've lost since DeSantis went to war.
DeSantis is another guy that's very interesting to me.
Again, not our guy, but not our guy.
He is the, you know, he actually was the first sitting governor that I'm aware of that used the term anti-white to describe what happened up in Wisconsin at the Christmas parade, an anti-white attack.
So you remember who first used that, by the way?
What congressperson, what congressman first used that term that I'm aware of?
What's it, Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Tulsi Gabbard.
No kidding.
I did not know that.
Tulsi Gabbard, I can't remember what context it was, but it was when she was still running, still in office.
She was up for president.
And she's, you know, she's tweeted out a lot of really interesting things.
I mean, there's a coalition.
Oh, no, she has.
She has.
There's a coalition that is opposed to the global, you know, the globalism and, you know, what Darren Beattie correctly calls the global American empire.
As Southerners, we thought that there was reunification, but then they tore down all our monuments and that agreement's kind of out the window now.
But no, but what I'm saying is, this empire, when they come for your kids, and what we've seen in Florida and this just amazing pushback.
The religious right, they were right back in the 90s.
They told us we're not coming.
We owe all those people a big, hey, sorry, you know, sorry.
You were right.
And I think that's where that word you use, Keith, is so important.
When an electoral, when you get this, this ultimatum by the ballot box, you then have to use that power or else you're squandering the opportunity to push back.
And that's what DeSantis has done.
He continues to do.
And, you know, it's just a shame that, you know, Florida, if you look at the map, you know, some of my favorite places in the country are in the panhandle.
And that's basically Alabama.
People, those are some of the whitest parts of the country.
And some of the most amazing places.
If you go down there, I've been there a number of times and just go out and just all the boats at that point.
This is probably a year ago.
They all had the Trump flags and the jokes, the let's go brand and stuff.
And you think that's silly, but there's this, there is this disconnect that's happening.
And it's not, you know, it's not the great divorce or anything.
It's people know something's wrong.
And when you have the ability to speak freely about why and to discuss what's wrong, that led us to Donald Trump.
And now that's back.
And so, yeah, I just, it's a very exciting time.
It certainly is.
I want to play a rapid fire segment in the next segment.
I've got three things I want to quickly relay to you, Paul, and get some quick responses from you.
And then we'll go to wrapping up this.
Still two great hours forthcoming.
But Keith, a final word to you this segment.
Well, I think that what we need to understand is that people are finally awakening to the fact that liberalism or leftism or whatever you want to call it, the establishment, the deep state, is the modern face of evil.
It's no longer cloaked in benevolence with the civil rights movement and stuff like this.
This is an opportunity for us to speak up and make that connection explicit to people because I think that the left has so overplayed their hand that they are like humpty-dumpty.
They're teetering on the wall and about to fall.
And this may be the push that they need with Elon Musk taking over Twitter.
Well, Paul, the music has not yet started, so you can offer a retort to that.
Yeah, well, you know, that civil rights movement, that wasn't too benevolent, though.
I'm sorry.
Well, we sell it, but yeah, we know much different than that, okay?
You and I, and I harp on that all the time.
Yeah, that's our bread and butter here.
That's what we need to drive home.
We need to make sure that people know that that mantle of benevolence is stripped away from every left-wing movement.
They've all been intended to destroy Western civilization.
And that's something you say all the time, Keith.
I mean, and this is something that conservatism Inc. or corporate conservatism gets wrong.
They give ground to those treacherous radical egalitarian movements like the so-called civil rights movement.
And say, well, they were good then, but somehow liberalism got off the rails here.
It was all bad.
And the seed for everything that has blossomed today was certainly in what was, and we'll call it anti-white movements.
That's what they were, and that's what this is.
And that's what these people.
We'll ask Paul Kersey when we come back from the next break if People the likes of which have been employed in leading Twitter are worthy of power and influence.
And what should we do?
What should we do?
If and when we ever actually get institutional power again, that's what we're going to talk about when we come back.
And then Keith and I will go down to Florida.
We're going to talk a little bit more in depth in the second hour about what's happening in Florida.
Then we'll wrap up Confederate History Month series with two additional special guests that will still be forthcoming tonight.
A lot more to come.
Stay tuned.
One more segment with Paul Kersen.

Our world can never meet.
So I cried just a little because I love you so.
And I'll die just a little because I have to go away.
Well, what'll make you laugh today?
I'll make you cry tomorrow.
And so the Twitter employees, the former regime at Twitter, is having to go away thanks to this Elon Musk purchase.
This brings me to a couple of things I want to cover very quickly with you, Paul, and then we'll get into wrap-up mode here.
The Twitter employees, of course, are commenting that, and this is a direct quote, they are too in shock to speak.
They're sharing crying emojis with one another in response to Musk's ownership of them.
And that was something I think Lauren Bobert said.
Elon Musk literally owns the libs.
But I think people this week were never worthy of power and influence, were they, Paul?
I'm sorry, if you could repeat, they weren't worthy of being in the positions of power.
Is that what you're saying?
Not just at Twitter, but people of that mindset, people that fragile, people that, I don't know what you want to call it, psychotic?
People who apparently feel so entitled now.
These people feel like they're entitled.
This is the way things should have been all along.
But anyway, do they deserve to be in positions of power and influence, the people this week?
It's been so weird to think about over the past score years, you know, 2002 was such a different place.
I mean, America, you know, it's just, it's all that's happened, all the stuff that came out of academia, you know, the white privilege stuff, then it became talking about heteronormative, all these just weird terms, you know, it's like, where is this coming from?
And the people who are now in the HR departments of every Fortune 500 company, you know, the ES, ES, ESG stuff when it comes to, you know, BlackRock and JP Morgan and how they do their stuff with rating companies and what we saw in California, where they tried to pass a law, which thankfully I think the Supreme Court shot down mandating diversity on the board of directors of companies there.
It's this is the most never in history have you seen an elite so hostile to their own people that not only are they trying to replace them, but they're trying to denigrate them by tearing down the monuments.
You know, think about Monument Avenue in Richmond, probably America's most beautiful street up until 2020 when George Floyd.
Look, it's genocide.
That's what they want, ultimately.
Oh, ultimately, once you sever someone's roots, once you basically say everything that came before you is evil, all these people are evil.
When you predicate your attacks under the premise that white supremacy never went away, it just came a different term.
Our history is not worth celebrating because white people are inherently evil.
Well, then why would white people even appropriate together?
I mean, it just doesn't, why perpetuate that if that is the basis of all evil?
And fundamentally, that is what our elite are saying.
And of course, now you have so many different fronts of this attack on the family and the attack on what San Francisco called, just middle America.
And really, Keith, you were asking about waking people up.
To me, it's just when the apathetic who never cared about politics, when they just wanted to be left alone to go to church and attend us college football, hang out with neighbors and friends, when these people start getting active, when they realize my way of life is antithetical to the elite and they are opposed to it, that's what we've seen already.
Furthermore, my life is antithetical.
Yeah.
Well, that's why think about the FBI.
They were investigating parents.
They were investigating parents who were showing up at these at these school board meetings to voice their opposition to what they're doing.
Yes.
Yes.
It's that type of stuff, guys, that it's like, wait a second.
This isn't the America that we thought existed.
This is something else.
And that's why all this stuff, it's just, I go back to the last segment, guys.
I hate to keep bringing this up, but 30,000 votes would have put a gay black dude in the governor's mansion there in Tallahassee.
In Florida, what DeSantis has done in Florida, not just with Disney, but again, again, folks, this is, I'm glad we're shadowing it or foreshadowing it a little bit because we're going to be talking about this in the next segment at the top of the second hour.
There's a lot of stuff going on in Florida that DeSantis is doing.
DeSantis sort of has a little bit of this Elon Musk streak in him, certainly as much as any elected official.
Look, Florida is not one of these small, unimportant states.
This is one of the top five states in the country in terms of its power and its economy and its population.
So what's going on in Florida?
You probably don't know the half of it, but we'll get to that in just a moment.
And it's all good stuff.
Now, Paul, I want to say this.
I shared with you a couple of days ago, or maybe it was yesterday, that a mutual friend of ours had come through town last weekend, and I had the chance to spend some time with him.
And we were talking about the opportunities or lack thereof that we've had in our life to do more.
I mean, certainly what you do with your writing, what we're doing here on the radio program, is much more than most.
But I think we had the, and I've said this before, we had the unfortunate reality of being born in this nadir of the American experiment.
And of course, we'd all be eager, certainly as younger men at least, perhaps even still, eager to go out and bear arms and do some fighting for a cause worth dying for or fighting for or living for.
But so much of it comes down to timing.
If the timing is not right, nothing's going to happen.
But when timing meets the man, when the man meets and rises to the occasion, something can happen.
And for us, up until this point, and perhaps even still, all we can do is have families, stroke the embers, and ride it out.
Now, so often, Conservative Incorporated is the undeserving beneficiary of true populist rebellious spirit.
And I will say this.
I am not, Elon Musk is saying free speech.
He's a free speech absolutist.
Maybe I was when I was younger.
You know, hey, let's get all the ideas out in the marketplace and let's debate them as Americans and best ideas win.
After an entire career, 20 years, my entire adult life of censorship and deplatforming and all of this, I'm not a free speech absolutist anymore.
In fact, their ideas are dangerous.
They are degenerate.
They are disgusting.
They are unhealthy.
They are deadly.
And I have been able to more happily accept the totalitarian measures that our woke anti-white counterparts have thrust upon us because I relish the thought of one day being able to return the favor tenfold.
Turn about as fair play.
That's exactly what people should do if ever we are able.
And we can't get too far ahead of ourselves.
Paul, your reaction to this, but if and when, this is just my opinion and feel free to disagree, if and when we ever regain control of our institutions, we should play by those rules, which includes crippling censorship of their ideas and state-sanctioned removal of their monuments and any other vestige of their ideology.
Paul?
There's nothing else to say.
How much time do I have?
Because I want to end with something really interesting.
We got three minutes, maybe four.
Okay.
So everything you just said, I completely echo.
But, you know, do you remember in the late 2000s, a guy named Tucker Max came along, wrote a book called I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell?
I do not.
He was kind of the game.
He was kind of the guy who wrote about hedonistic type stuff.
He would go out and, you know, he was at Duke Law School, never went to class, got his law degree.
It was a New York Times best-selling book.
He just basically wrote about being a perpetual frat dude who just went around and had one night stands with thousands of women.
I was on Twitter the other day, James and Keith, and I found his Twitter account.
He now lives outside of Austin, Texas.
He has four children with his beautiful wife.
I believe they have a fifth one on the way.
And he's building a homeschool community because he's so upset about what his kids are being taught, the CRT transgender stuff in schools.
And he put out a great tweet where he said, listen, you know, it's not about changing things that we can't, that we really can't have an impact on.
It's about changing things at the local level and finding like-minded people to build something that actually is worth our posterity having.
And that's ultimately, guys, what we are trying to do here goes back to that comment by the founding fathers, you know, for our posterity.
You know, it's a shame they didn't say for our English posterity.
We know what the founding fathers believe.
Just look at the Naturalization Act of 1789.
Here, here.
But my point is, my point is, if a guy like Tucker Max, and I encourage your audience to, you know, to look at the stuff that he wrote about, it's the New York Times bestseller, it's the raunchiest stuff.
It's kind of like, he was kind of like Ruch, but he was a lot more popular.
You know, Roosh, of course, has disavowed all of his writing.
He became Eastern Orthodox after his sister tragically died.
That's a beautiful eulogy that he wrote for his sister.
If individuals can change, the collective can change.
And once the collective change and realizes how evil the elite have been and what they've done, there's no going back.
There is no compromise with people who hate your family, who hate your traditions, who hate your ancestors, and who, unlike Elon Musk, they don't believe in the future.
They want to destroy the future for us and our posterity.
I am so glad.
I am so glad, Paul, you ended on this note.
This is the perfect pitch to end it on.
And this is something that I have over the last few years, I think, have grown to understand is that all of these people that are opposing Musk and who oppose us and want us dead, but they have embraced a culture of death through their degeneracy and through their unhealthy lifestyles.
And that's a very interesting story you told about that author.
And I think we all should look him up.
People are changing that way.
And if I think as the left has embraced this culture of death, they're going to, they're falling on their own grenade.
They're not reproducing.
Who's going to inherit the world?
The fundamentalists.
Maybe it's fundamentalist Muslims and Orthodox Christians.
Maybe that's what the future is in a few more generations.
That's the point, though.
We don't know.
And that's what makes it so exciting.
And folks, you love Paul Kersey.
I love Paul Kersey.
Top of my Twitter feed.
Link over to him.
Follow him.
Support him.
Great guy.
Paul, last word to you.
We're going to come back with Keith in the next hour.
Well, it's always a pleasure.
Your audience is fantastic.
The work you do is unbelievable.
Keith, it was great to talk to you again.
The main thing is, you know, don't allow current trends to get you down.
Live your life.
Live great life.
Love your family.
You know, be aware, though, that change happens.
And when it happens, it happens suddenly.
And understand that we are in that time period right now that I believe is far more exciting than when Donald Trump came down the escalator back in 2015.
Paul, look forward to seeing you again soon in person, my friend, and shaking your hand.
