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.
As promised, ladies and gentlemen, now, as our second hour is now upon us, we are taking you to the floor of the 2022 American Renaissance Conference.
This conference is reaching its apex right now.
All of the people are there assembled for the banquet dinner and the keynote speech, which is about to be given by former Representative Steve King.
And joining us right now to share her thoughts and observations on the weekend's event is none other than our dear good friend, Linda Baum.
And of course, everybody remembers Linda with the Council of Conservative Citizens, her incredible husband, the late Gordon Baum.
What a longtime friend she's been.
And Linda, thanks for peeling away for a few minutes, stepping away from the banquet festivities.
Go into the lobby and share a report for the audience tonight.
How you doing?
Are you having a good time?
Oh, we're having a great time.
There's so many people here.
You know, you always see old friends here.
Ray Martin is here.
You remember Ray.
Oh, you're here.
Fred and Renee are here, and Kyle is here.
I mean, you would recognize so many people here.
You know, it's great to see them again.
You know, I miss that.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I was going to ask, you know, over the years with the council, going back now for me, about 20 years and for Keith as well, we had no shortage of wonderful conferences together, Linda, with you and a lot of the familiar suspects there.
I mean, obviously, Sam Dixon and Jared and a lot of the people at Amerin, as you said, they're all friends and regulars on this program, most of them.
Henrik Palmgren, a lot, you know, the speaking lineup this evening looks a lot like our monthly call here on the program.
But how would you say this weekend you're experiencing right now stacks up to any of those council conferences that we knew and loved so much?
Well, you know, they remind me of it so much.
And it's like not too many conferences going on right now.
So I think we need to support this one.
And it is always so well run.
You know, Jared runs a tight ship here.
And, I mean, it's just really a very good, a good conference.
I think I enjoy all of the speakers, but a speaker that I really enjoyed this afternoon was Daniel Vineard.
He's a former police officer.
And boy, he gave a talk.
I mean, you know, just he's retired now, you know, but he gave a really long time.
If he wasn't retired now, he would be by Monday.
I know he would.
And he's not very old.
I mean, he definitely had a lot of years left in him, but you know how that is.
He just couldn't do it anymore.
But, you know, it's just, the title of the speech was A Vilification of the Police and What It Means for America.
And, I mean, it's pretty eye-opening.
I mean, I guess I knew all the things he told us were true, but when you get it firsthand, it kind of sinks in a little better.
No, I got to tell you, you're right.
I mean, we have a regular contributor on this program by the name of Jim Lancia, who wrote a book, Downtown White Police.
He was a white cop with a six shooter and a billy club up Connecticut one.
Yeah, up in Bridgeport, Connecticut at the height of the crack epidemic.
And, you know, hearing these people share the war stories from a pro-white perspective, having been in a law enforcement capacity is, no, I agree.
I mean, stuff like that.
I mean, he steals the show every time he's on.
So I can imagine a guy like that would certainly do the same there.
But you've had a lot of other speakers.
Let's name them off.
Christopher Zeman, obviously Jerry, Palmgren, Laura Loomer, Ruben Caleb, who's a member of the Estonian Parliament, Greg Hood, Sam Dixon.
Well, Sam will speak tomorrow, actually.
But who are some of the other standouts, in your opinion?
Well, let's see.
Reuben was now that was by video.
You know, he's not here because he won't take a COVID-19.
Oh, okay.
He has come in person before, but so this time it was by video.
That's fine.
Well, it's by video because he doesn't want to be, he doesn't want a COVID shot, and I suppose that's required to come into the United States.
Gotcha.
Yeah, Gregory Hood, Daniel Vineyard was the police officer.
Heinrich Palmgren, and his was very, they're all very good.
Yeah, you can't say, well, this guy didn't really do good.
Obviously, they're all going to do well.
But what was another topic that was spoken up that really, even after all these years, kind of said, you know, that's something that fires me up.
Yeah.
Well, now, Laura Loomer gave a real good talk.
You know, she's run for Congress twice in Florida.
And she just, that was a really an informative speech about how she's treated, you know, how she's canceled.
Even her personal business was canceled.
How she's treated.
I mean, she did a good job.
She really did much better than I think they projected.
They do everything to beat us.
And she still came close.
But, you know, that was really interesting.
She was winning.
She was winning in that primary early on about through three quarters of the way of the vote counting.
Surprise.
Surprise.
She was.
Oh, yeah.
And then, of course.
And then, of course, you know, so that was really good.
I mean, they're all real good.
I did find hers to be real interesting.
And I really enjoyed the police officers.
Now, see, he worked in California and mostly, I must have been mostly a black area, I guess.
And I mean, the crimes that are that they come in are just, they're just, he said, you always know who committed the crime when they tell you what happened, which is true.
Yeah, when the call comes in.
It's not like the old days when we're watching.
Linda, this is Keith.
I was just going to say, it's not like it was when you and I were coming along.
Andy Griffith, Highway Patrol, where all the people in California were white and the crooks wore a coat and tie to work.
Daniel Vineyard is a race realist police officer, 30 years of experience, including gang enforcement, SWAT, and narcotics.
I bet he did see a lot in California.
Linda, what's the crowd like?
What are the demographics?
I mean, I imagine it's all, I mean, excuse me, I'm talking about the age demographic of the conference.
You know, you know, it's really great.
There are a lot of young people here, a lot.
And there are young couples with children.
Not too many children because, like, you know, it's hard to manage children in an event like this.
But we do have some people here with young children.
I would say, I don't know.
It's a good, it's a good bit of young people here, I think.
You know what I'm imagining?
It's just about, now, a lot of people ask, well, why aren't you there, James?
Obviously, normally we always love to come.
It is a little bit difficult to broadcast up there because of the remote location, and that is the reason that we're not there.
And we have done that a couple of times before, and it was a little bit hit or miss.
And obviously, we have to be able to have a good, secure, steady connection.
But in lieu of being there personally, we always like to do something like this.
And so it obviously relies on people like you being willing to step away and call in.
So Linda, what are you seeing right now?
What's taking place around you?
What's about to happen?
Well, it looks like they're getting the buffet set up.
Not completely set up yet.
People are just drinking and kind of socializing right now.
But I mean, this is, I think this is a sold-out conference, really.
I do.
It's Pat.
Oh, yeah, sure.
I mean, what they've got up there is interesting.
It's one of them.
I think it's the only place like that in the whole United States.
Well, it's the only state-run facility that has sleeping rooms and function space under the same roof that is big enough to accommodate and a restaurant all under one roof that can accommodate a crowd of Amerin size.
Because I know that Jared had looked at every state park in the entire country, and that was the only one that had the function meeting and restaurant space all under one roof that would make it convenient.
That's why they ended up there in case anybody wanted to know.
And of course, they can remain there because of the First Amendment still.
Hey, Linda!
Government is affected by the First Amendment private entity.
These aren't.
We're going to let Linda get back to the business.
Be sure to tell Kyle that to expect a call.
Linda, you are, of course, now a member of the board of directors with the Conservative Citizens Foundation.
We run the ads on the show.
You hear it all the time.
Be sure to support the Conservative Citizens Foundation.
Linda, we love you.
We'll talk to you again very soon.

All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the program as we continue now with our live coverage of the American Renaissance Conference.
Now, joining us is our another good, dear old friend, Kyle Rogers, also from the CFCC days, now with nationalconservative.com.
That's national-conservative or hyphen as they call it at countercurrents, national-conservative.com.
Also, he is the Renaissance Horizon on YouTube.
And so.
Also, has something to do with America First, doesn't mean that's right.
America First, transitional.
Well, that's another domain name.
Yeah, that's another domain name, but they dump in together.
Let me tell you that, Kyle versus Keith.
Yeah.
I have your flags all over my house.
Yeah, your number one customer is right here, Kyle.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, no, wall space.
Yeah, and only if I'll have to start putting it on the ceiling.
Keith is the wall space.
Keith has declared war on wall space at his home, and he's taken no prisoners.
I got some World Cup 2022 flags.
Hey, you want one of those?
No, I like the countries.
I like in particular.
So the World Cup flags have a bunch of different small flags on them for all the different countries.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, anyway, business, putting business aside for a moment, Kyle, you too are standing there right in the middle of the festivities at the American Renaissance Conference.
What have been your takeaways?
I heard Antifa had a pretty poor showing in the sub-freezing weather this evening.
Well, it's not sub-freezing.
I mean, it's chilly outside, but the Antifa counter-protest has gotten weaker and weaker each year.
And a few years ago, there was a big blow-up where the Antifa and the non-Antifa protesters clashed with each other, and Antifa chased the other left-wing protesters away and stomped on their signs.
And this year, as far as I could tell, only about six or seven Antifa showed up, and that was it.
There was no media with them or anything.
And then their fearless leader, Daryl Lamanjenkum, he posted on Twitter, he admitted that they had a really poor turnout.
And then he alleged that members of the Proud Boys showed up at the park and attacked.
I saw that.
I actually saw that on social media.
There was one guy in the background wearing like a hoodie, and you couldn't tell if that was one of his guys dressed up or what was going on.
What was that about?
Well, he just posted a brand new video of about maybe six or seven guys who allegedly are supposed to be Proud Boys.
Some of them are wearing t-shirts that say F Antifa, and some have shirts that say F Nazis.
We've seen this before.
They all got out of Daryl's car, didn't they?
Yeah, right.
But and then one of the alleged Proud Boys and one of the Antifa start pushing each other, and that's about it.
That's all you see.
Well, now it looked like a pillow fight.
Now, that could be.
Look, I can't honestly say if that was real or staged.
But now, Jared normally has a pretty buttoned-up event where he doesn't suffer fools like that.
So did somebody actually walk off the reservation and go out there, or was this a put-on?
No, no one from the conference was involved in this whatsoever.
And there's supposed to be an army of police protecting the grounds.
And in this video, there's no police to be seen.
I don't know what really happened.
That seems a little suspicious to me.
I don't know.
We'll just leave it there.
Yeah, the whole thing.
I mean, the whole thing seems weird.
Well, on the good side, so they we are both wrong, I have to say.
I said it was sub-freezing.
You said it was chilly.
I just pulled up the weather where the conference is.
It's 32 degrees, so it is neither below freezing or chilly.
What do you call that, Keith?
Temperate.
32 degrees.
It's cold and dark.
But the Antifa were here around noon.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was a little bit.
Yeah, okay.
At that point, it was.
Well, there was some chatter that they were going to try to do a disruption, and they had a pretty paltry turnout.
I told Sam Dixon last week.
I said, Sam, it's going to be dark and cold.
Jared's not doing it in the summer this time.
They don't like the cold that much.
I don't think they're going to come.
But anyway, it looks like they did.
So that's good.
Well, now, what good is going on?
Who have been the speakers that have impressed you?
Yeah, out of all the conferences you've been to over the years, Kyle, what's impressed you tonight?
Well, the main speaker, Steve King, is, I haven't seen him, but he's supposed to be speaking shortly.
They just opened the buffet line for the banquet, and he's going to be the banquet speaker.
Laura Loomer spoke earlier.
did a good job um uh the the guy hold on hold on I wanted to ask you this.
Actually, you just triggered something that I wanted to know with regards to Steve King, who I ran into at the Republican National Convention a few years ago and talked to for a few minutes.
But I was wondering, with him being the keynote speaker, and I assumed that that would be the position that he would hold, the banquet, the speaker, the top position.
You know, I was wondering, had he been hanging out all weekend like most speakers do and just taking in all the festivities, or is he just coming in just to give the talk?
Have you seen him?
I have not actually seen him.
I have not.
Now, Laura Loomer has been here since yesterday, but I have not actually seen Steve King.
All right.
Well, you know, that's not entirely atypical, a guy like that coming out of the speech.
Maybe I just don't recognize him.
Maybe he's been around.
He could have been sitting next to you the whole time.
Yeah.
Maybe he was at your table the whole time.
Yeah.
Listen, a former member of Congress.
That's noteworthy.
That's absolutely noteworthy and remarkable for a conference like this.
And I will be very interested to hear.
I guess we'll have to wait until next week to find out because he won't go on until our third hour.
We'll be off the air before he finishes.
But I'll be very interested to know what he talks about and how he addresses this particular audience.
Has there been any sort of buzz or hype as a result of his appearance?
Or who have people been excited about?
Well, I mean, I think people are excited to see Steve King.
Now, a lot of people here are people who have been to an American Renaissance conference before.
I mean, there's a lot of people who would just come no matter who was speaking.
Or if nobody was speaking.
Right.
Yeah, I know.
I think that, you know, people are excited that such a big name is going to be the banquet speaker.
Well, what else have you noticed, Kyle, that you think would be interesting to share with the audience?
Again, in terms of Linda was talking about a lot of mixed-aged people now.
That's something you didn't see when we first started getting involved ourselves in the early 2000s, I don't think.
So that's good to know.
Yeah, the mixed range.
The age range is pretty diverse.
There's several women with babies or young children.
There's a lot of vendors.
I mean, there's a few new things I've never seen before that are vendors here now selling new books, a lot of different stuff.
And the coffee grinders.
We saw them at, of course, at Countercurrents a few weeks ago.
So they're on the circuit now.
And Sarah Dai is just good people.
We were talking with Linda about her just a moment ago.
And of course, it sounds like a quasi-CFCC meeting with Brad and Renee and Brad Griffin, of course.
Renee, his wife, and Linda and you.
I tell you what, Keith, we're missing the party.
Some people have to work.
Yeah, I tell you what, it's like a reunion from the old guesthouse days in Nashville.
Yeah, that's right.
Boy, those were good days.
They're not too far from where they're at tonight.
So it's pretty close.
That's right.
That's right.
We had some good times over at John A's.
I think we were in there when the old Crow Medicine show just walked in and got up on the stage and started singing Wagner Wheel.
You see a lot.
You remember that night?
I predicted that, too.
I predicted that because a couple of girls bought tickets to see that band at the Grand Old Opry.
And I said, you shouldn't have wasted your money on tickets because after they get done playing at the Grand Old Opry, they're going to come into John A's and play for free.
And they did.
And these girls come walking into John A's and the band was walking in right behind them.
They didn't even know the band was right behind them.
And then they took to the stage and did like a three-song set.
Yeah, I remember that night plain as day.
Of course, they did their wagon wheel, which is their iconic hit.
And we were all there.
The council, you know, we had just gotten done with our main evening, and about half the people at the council conference were there.
My wife and I were at the table.
And of course, you had a lot of fun of it.
I didn't either.
I didn't know that band was, but until that night.
A few days later, I was at the gym, and they were on one of the TVs at the gym.
So I guess it was a pretty big-name band.
Well, that was a real big hit.
Of course, Darius Rucker has since covered it.
But yeah, you never know.
That's the thing, folks.
You never know.
You never know who you're going to run into or what fun is going to be had at one of these movement conferences.
And so since we couldn't be there tonight, we certainly wanted to pipe in at least some of the atmosphere.
Thank you, Kyle, for doing it.
Be sure to check out Kyle's website.
He is the dutiful webmaster, faithful webmaster at national-conservative.com, one of our favorite sites, and the Conservative Citizens Foundation.
We'll talk to you again soon, Kyle.
Protecting your liberties.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio, USA Radio News with Kenneth Burns.
More snow is expected overnight in western New York from a lake effect storm that has already dumped several feet on the region.
A travel ban has been lifted for much of Buffalo.
Mayor Byron Brown says about 70 pieces of equipment were in South Buffalo, hauling snow out of the area.
He's asking drivers there to stay off the roads.
If you come out, you run the risk of getting stuck and really hindering our plowing operation and our snow removal operation.
The region remains under a state of emergency.
The Buffalo Bills game against Cleveland will now take place in Detroit on Sunday.
Former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago Friday night, reacting to the announcement of special counsel being appointed to oversee the Justice Department investigation into the presence of classified documents at his Florida estate.
I thought the investigation with the document hoax was dying or dead or over.
And the investigation into January 6th in my very peaceful and patriotic speech.
Remember?
Peaceful and patriotically.
Veteran federal prosecutor Jack Smith was named to the appointment.
He's been the chief prosecutor for the special court at The Hague since 2018.
Smith's appointment comes days after Trump announced his campaign for a second term.
A girl has died after being hit by an out-of-control pickup truck during the Raleigh Christmas parade in North Carolina.
The event was airing on WTVD Saturday morning.
The television station had their helicopter over the scene as part of the broadcast.
There is that white GMC pickup truck that the driver says he lost control.
At this point, Lauren, the indication we're getting from eyewitnesses there on the scene is the driver is honking, yelling out the window for people to get out of the way.
Police say the girl was accidentally hit at a low rate of speed.
No one else was hurt.
The driver is facing several charges, including misdemeanor, death by motor vehicle.

You've already heard from Linda Baum of the Conservative Citizens Foundation, Kyle Rogers from NationalConservative.com.
Now, political candidate and pundit and so much more, Rick Make America White Again.
Tyler, we had the opportunity.
I actually texted Rick a few days ago.
I was in line at my polling place and I said, brother, I just voted for you for governor.
And I asked Keith tonight.
I didn't even bring it up because I didn't want to lead him on in any way.
I said, Keith, who'd you vote for for governor?
He said, Rick Tyler.
So Rick was on the ballot as a candidate for governor in Tennessee just a few days ago, and he certainly carried our studio.
And it's great to have Rick back on anytime he's on the show.
He is a live wire.
And I mean, this is a guy who can really add a lot of charisma to any broadcast.
And we're so thankful he took us up on our offer for him to join us from the American Renaissance Conference.
Rick, how you doing tonight?
I'm doing great, James, and I'm so glad to be with you.
You need no prompting, brother.
Tell us what we're missing out on tonight.
What have been your observations, takeaways, things that have interested you most, things that you most need to share with the audience tonight?
People that you've met that were noteworthy.
Anything and everything about the conference that you think needs to be heard.
Well, let me tell you that there is a parallel between the political cesspool and the events that you put on, James, and the American Renaissance events.
They just keep getting better and better and better.
You know, when you think this can't get any better, Jared Taylor is singularly unique.
The man, I don't know how to describe it.
Of course, you know, most of your listeners are very familiar with Jared, but he has an ability to put on an event that is par excellence.
It's just first class, top drawer.
You can't come up with enough superlatives and compliments for Jared.
And he's done it again this year.
He also is doing something which I think is extremely important.
He's broadening the alliance, if you will.
You know, having people like Laura Loomer, you know, who is the feisty congressional candidate from Florida who's run twice.
And, you know, she's, you know, dubs herself as the most banned woman in the world, which I'm sure she is.
She gave a great talk.
You know, she laughs about the fact that she is now called a white supremacist.
And of course, at tonight's banquet, which is just getting ready to happen, former Congressman Steve King is going to be the keynote speaker.
And he's written a book.
And of course, he and the insanity that came in the wake of the George Floyd debacle, he was drummed out of Congress.
First, he was betrayed and turned upon by his own fellow congressional members of the party.
And then he was primaried out in the next election.
But at any rate, Congressman, former Congressman King is going to be speaking.
But there have been some new faces also on the roster.
And Jared never fails to bring forth new people who make an extraordinary contribution to the overall theme of the conference.
Basically, the theme of this conference is what do we do now?
Because everybody, I think, you know, has a common sensation and a common perception that even though there are many things that are going in the right direction, the pendulum is swinging to some degree in the right direction, we're nevertheless, you know, even the us seasoned veterans, you know, of decades and decades and decades of activism, sometimes we pinch ourselves and we say, no, it can't be.
You know, it can't get to this level of absolute degradation and depravity like it is.
But then we, you know, we realize that we're not in some slumber.
We're not in some nightmarish type dream that this is reality.
So the speakers such as Gregory Hood, you know, who is a stalwart member of the American Renaissance team, you know, he gave a phenomenal address today.
Just no nonsense, very, very grim in a sense, but also, nevertheless, revelatory of a spirit and an attitude which is prevalent here at this conference, which is that there is hope.
It is not a hopeless proposition.
And of course, seeing this conference go forward the way it is this weekend is just a big shot in the arm for everybody because it reminds us that we have people the caliber of Jared Taylor that are still walking the point courageously, sacrificially, and putting together magnificently an event such as this.
And nobody, nobody can gainsay the overall motif and characteristic of this event.
It is better than anything I've ever attended before that Jared's put on, and that's saying a lot.
And it's encouraging to me and exciting to me to know that it's just going to keep on going in this direction.
That is one hell of a report, Rick.
My goodness.
Thank you for that.
And let's just be sure to mention everybody who is on the speaking roster this weekend.
Christopher Zeman of the Z-Man blog.
I had the opportunity to see him a couple of times this year at other events, got to know him a little bit better.
I think this is his first time to speak at American Renaissance.
Linda Baum earlier lauded the address given by Daniel Vineyard, the former police officer.
Obviously, a lot of program mainstays on the roster tonight.
Jared Taylor and Sam Dixon, of course, Henrik Palmgren, no stranger to this program.
You mentioned Laura Loomer, obviously Greg Hood, who is a dynamic speaker.
And then Ruben Caleb, who I know had to video message his address, and then Laura Loomer, who you mentioned.
And I think, you know, obviously the main event tonight, the banquet speaker, is Steve King.
You know, having a former congressman is, as I said in the previous segment, quite remarkable for an event like this.
And so I'm sure that has a palpable buzz there.
Now, I was talking with Kyle Rogers about this a moment ago.
Typically, if you're one of the speakers, you mingle amongst everyone throughout the event.
Kyla says he has not yet seen Steve King.
Has Steve King been on the premises throughout the event, or is he just showing up to give the speech?
I believe he's coming just for the speech.
His book has been prominently displayed on Jared's book table for the whole event.
But I think he's just coming for the speech.
Now, the other speakers have all been mingling with everybody.
And by the way, Christopher Zeman did a tremendous leadoff job.
He was the leadoff speaker this morning.
And Daniel Vineyard, the 38-year veteran of police work, was just magnificent in terms of his theme of the fallout and the implications for law enforcement with all that's going on now.
And since he's retired, he is now able to go full bore ahead.
And he promised he was very close with Colin Flarity, and he promised his good friend that he would carry the torch.
And let me tell you, this guy is going to be a dynamic addition to everything that goes on under the auspices of this movement in the days ahead.
He is more than capable.
Folks, if you don't know him, you need to go to his blog.
It's just, it's thezeman.com, thezman.com.
I had heard of him before, had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times this year at other events, and he is absolutely incredibly impressive.
So, Keith, you got a question for Rick.
We'll ask Rick to give us one more parting shot and a takeaway.
But I think between Rick and Linda Baum and Kyle Rogers, we have really given people who haven't been able to be there a pretty good understanding and idea of what they're missing and what we're missing.
Well, Rick, what are your plans future in terms of the future regarding politics and political office?
Well, you know, I jokingly have told people this weekend, I'm kind of like, you remember old Lyndon LaRouche, the late Lyndon LaRouche?
You know, he was always on the ballot.
And of course, you know, obviously politically, you know, Lyndon LaRouche and I didn't have very much at all in common.
But by getting on the ballot, which I do every election cycle, I was on the ballot, by the way, for U.S. House of Representatives and governor in this election.
And most people didn't even know you could do that.
Even the Secretary of State didn't know when I took my paperwork in and filed.
And he had to research the law and he found out I could do that.
But at any rate, I'm going to continue to run, Keith.
I, in my home county of Polk County, Tennessee, when I put up the Make America White Again billboard in 2016, it was a little bit scary for a lot of people because they weren't used to that type of bold, brash statement of pure unmitigated truth.
But now, in the aftermath of George Floyd and all of the insanity that has ensued, I am somewhat of a folk hero now in my county.
And very, very few people other than a stalwart group of real hardcore leftists have anything negative to say.
They've tried to run our restaurant out of business unsuccessfully.
We just keep getting more and more patronage.
And I'm going to put up another sign, and it's just going to be three words.
Rick was right.
Here, here.
I'll tell you what.
A man who does what he can with what he's got, and that's all any of us can do.
Well, if you've got this following in Polk County, have you ever considered running for a local office where you think you could do the most good for our people?
Well, my position on that is that by running for the high-profile offices, number one, if I had time to campaign and raise money, I could actually get into double digits.
Why don't you have time to campaign, Rick?
How many kids you got?
Well, you know, I've got 20 now, and that does keep me kind of busy running a family restaurant.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
And that's not an exaggeration, folks.
Yeah, go ahead.
At a recent League of the South conference, you know, that we held back in June, the National Conference that I MC'd and spoke at, you know, I did give a message and address there and, you know, do like I very, very frequently do.
I advocated for secession.
I told the conference, I said, we've got to show the world that we can secede somewhere.
So let's start with Polk County.
And we don't need to ask permission.
We don't need to ask forgiveness.
When the founding fathers promulgated the Declaration of Independence, they didn't go by any rulebook and they didn't ask for permission.
Here, here.
Hey, listen, Rick.
We can't talk to you again soon enough.
Thank you so much for putting an exclamation point on our coverage of the Amrin event.
You get back in there.
You have a wonderful supper.
Rub shoulders with Steve King and tell us all about it.
And we'll talk to you again soon.
We're going to take you from Nashville to Brazil.
Nationwide protests down there.
Why?
We'll find out next.
Thank you, Rick.
I'm Michael Hill, president of the League of the South.
I and my compatriots are Southern nationalists.
We seek the survival, well-being, and independence of the Southern people, our people.
The League wants a South that enjoys the sweet fruits of Christian liberty and prosperity, but our current situation won't allow it.
We must have our independence from Washington, D.C. and the globalists.
The present system cannot be reformed.
Without independence, we will continue down this path of destruction.
To us, this is not acceptable.
I'm asking you, Southern man and woman, to join us today to free the South.
Call us at 256-757-6789 or see our website at www.leagueofthesouth.com.
God saved the South.
In message one, we said that Satan, the father of lies, John 8:44, gave the left evil spiritual power the more they use the lies.
The political left today is the beast.
Now, the Bible confirms that the dragon gave him the beast his power.
Revelation 13, 2.
The extra evil spiritual power that comes from the beast by their lying is what accounts for the string of the leftist criminals in the government that have never yet been prosecuted.
It also explains why American capitalists support communism in the 21st century.
Note one, that behavior of capitalists was predicted by Vladimir Lenin, a sell of the beast.
Note two, Henry Ford was a capitalist, and he would have never gone communist.
The difference between Ford and the present-day end-time capitalists is that Ford was born and educated in the kingdom of Christ, 19th century America, the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was a last minute addition to the program tonight, but it was by popular demand.
Rich Hamblin, one of our quasi-producers, said, Hey, why don't you get this gentleman who's on with us now to come on and tell us what's going on in Brazil?
And let me tell you what's going on in Brazil, according to the American press.
What should be going on in America?
That's right, the controlled American press, and then we'll take you down to Brazil for the real story.
This is the Washington Post.
Headline reads, In Brazil, Bolzanaro voters protest against his defeat.
The article begins, Tens of thousands of Brazilians wearing, and by the way, the dateline on this is November the 15th, so that was just this week, just a couple of days ago.
Tens of thousands of Brazilians wearing yellow and green, the colors of the national flag, gathered Tuesday across the country to protest President Yair Bolzanaro's defeat in last month's election and asking for the armed forces to intervene.
In Rio de Janeiro, Brazilians flocked outside a regional military facility to denounce what they see as an unfair or stolen election, defying a recent Supreme Court order in Brazil to free up roads and public spaces.
None of the institutions certified to audit the election, including the Ministry of Defense and Brazilian Bar Association, have found evidence of fraud.
So with that, we take you down to Brazil and to another member of our listening family who has truly become a very close friend over the years.
And he is live from Brazil right now.
What is going on down there, brother?
Hi, James.
Thanks so much for having me.
How can I say it?
It was not as we expected, the election, but we also knew that we should face a major fraud in election.
And we got to understand that the People's Party, the Ludas party that ruled over Brazil for over 16 years before Bolsonaro, he has elected many judges from the Supreme Court.
And that we are facing the problems of having that many of Supreme Courts from Lula now.
So they're obstructing...
Sorry, sorry, Keith.
I said you're playing against a stack deck up there.
You basically very similar to what we have here in America.
It seems like electoral fraud has become the new fashion.
Have you had that before in Brazil?
Yes, we did.
Actually, in the some specialists have proven that the same maneuvers in numbers of the election frauds were exactly the same in three or four prior elections.
So it's pretty basic.
It's pretty basic mathematical stuff because elections in Brazil are, how can I say it?
We have electronic systems since the 2000s and they're obviously rigged.
And it's incredible.
An Argentinian guy has shown that the Brazilian election has been rigged.
And it's a major thing.
We cannot say that elections are rigged, but we say that we have democracy.
So that's a big question.
That's a big thing.
And I think that's a big thing in the whole Western world because the whole Western world is based upon democracy.
So if democracy is based on something that doesn't happen, then we have a huge problem.
And what is going on in Brazil right now is the fact that we are checking that thing that elections are not questionable.
Not the fact they are rigged, but the fact they are questionable.
And people are on the street exactly to face the fact that even though the mainstream media say that elections are the way they are, even though every official statement is the statement that Lula has won,
everybody is out on the streets saying we don't accept that because we know it's wrong, because we know it's rigged, because we know it's And we have a feeling that that is something big, not only for Brazil, but maybe for the whole of this quote-unquote democracy thing.
Here's one thing I want to ask you very quickly, my friend, and that is what kind of protests are we talking about here?
Now, if you don't know what happened, obviously, Bolzonaro, who was, for lack of a better right-wing.
Yeah, I mean, you know, more in line with our beliefs than, you know, most other national leaders, was apparently, or purportedly, defeated in a runoff election.
They couldn't get rid of him in the first round, and so it went to a runoff, and he was very, and I mean, by the most razor-thin of margins, purportedly defeated in the runoff by the communist alternative, Lula.
Now, what do the protests entail?
How would you compare them to the yellow vest protests that we saw in Europe or the Black Lives Matter anarchy here in America?
What's going on down there?
So the difference was 2 million voters.
Bolsonaro lost for 2 million voters and he got 58 million and Lula got 60 million voters.
There are many signs that this is very, very rigged.
So let's not get into the and I know you don't like anything about that, James.
So I was not.
No, I don't mind it.
No, I do not mind it at all.
I was just wondering, though, what are the protesters doing?
Now, we always like to see people with our beliefs take to the streets.
That is something that has for so long been resigned or abandoned to the left and to the anarchists and to the radicals.
We play by the rules and the other side.
But our side needs to be angry and they need to be doing these things.
What are they doing in protest?
So we got to understand that in Brazilian history, in 1964, we had a military coup against the communists.
And we have this thing in Brazil about the military, that they defended Brazil in 1964 against the communists.
So it was a counter-revolution.
Something that the communists used during the 1780s and 90s.
And the president of Brazil in the 90s, that was Fernando Inhiki, he used this stuff.
He was a communist.
And he gained power in the 90s using this rhetoric, being not the guy of the military coup.
So when Brazilians feel themselves faced with communists again, they tend to look at the military and the armed forces as their protector.
The military force in Brazil is the energy that made the coup in 1889 that changed Brazil from an empire to a republic.
They're very much installed in the, how can I say it, a positivist view, a positivist philosophy from Europe, from France.
And that's the major philosophic view that makes the military being this institutional thing that we kind of go forward when we are in crisis.
But the Republic of Brazil, ever since 1889, is a crisis.
We have like 30 constitutions since 1889.
It's like the whole of Latin America.
It's, how can I say that?
Well, volatile, I guess, would be one word.
I mean, we do it a lot more efficiently here.
We only have one constitution.
We just don't abide by it.
But is there a trucker strike, something like we saw in Canada with regards to a trucker strike down there?
We got about a minute remaining.
I'm just fascinated by what's going on in Brazil.
And I wish Godspeed, brother, and for the good side to prevail in some shape, form, or fashion.
So as of right now, we are facing some strike of the truckers, but we don't know.
It should be bigger than we saw in the last couple of days.
But as I mentioned, we were expecting something bigger, but we don't know because mainstream media, you know, they are not telling stuff.
So we don't know.
As of right now, stuff looks as normal, but we know something is going on.
Henrik, this is still in turmoil.
Is there any geographic dimension to this?
For example, is the north in favor of Lula and the South in favor of Bolsonaro?
Or is that not maybe a mixed bag, geographically speaking, with seconds remaining?
Last question.
No.
Mainly, we are all in favor of Brazil as a country because Brazilians are very patriotic in their own way.
We don't have a divide in geographically meanings, but we have some divide.
Like all Western world right now, we are 50-50.
We are divided.
And that's right.
That's a good point.
A good point.
50-50, the world is divided.
The world needs to be separated.
There is no living with the other side.
These aren't skin-deep divisions.
These are bone-deep divisions.
You've got one side that plays by the rules to the right and another side that does not.
That's the least of the differences, although that is an important one.
But these are bone-deep differences.
Hey, thank you so much for the report from Brazil.
You really were a highlight of the program tonight.
By the way, since he's been on, Donald Trump has been reinstated to Twitter.
