You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, it has truly been a variety show tonight this Saturday evening, November the 19th.
First hour, we were talking about the Trump announcement.
He's running for a third time for president.
The DeSantis Trump question, secession, where do our people go?
We addressed all of that with Patrick Martin of identitydixie.com.
Second hour, we took you live to the floor of the American Renaissance Conference with not one, not two, but three different correspondents.
And then we took you all the way down to Brazil.
All the unrest, nationwide protests taking place in Brazil.
And one of our Brazilian correspondents was joining us live from Brazil to tell you about that.
Now, you've heard the ads, and what an ad it is, if I do say so myself, with that rousing music, Antelope Hill Publishing, antelopehillpublishing.com.
We have now with us two representatives from Antelope Hill to tell us a little bit more about their work and organization.
Kurt and Taylor are joining us.
Gentlemen, how are you doing tonight?
Hi, James.
Doing well.
Happy to be here.
I'm Kurt.
I'm Taylor.
Doing very well.
Thanks very much for having us, hon. Well, it's entirely our pleasure.
As I was telling y'all a moment ago, we don't do a lot of dual interviews, so we will get through this together.
But Kurt, let's start with you.
Tell us a little bit about Antelope Hill.
I want to know about the genesis of Antelope Hill.
We'll talk about the products, the content, how it's all put together, the different authors, the different topics.
But what's the origin story there?
Yeah, I'd be happy to tell you about it.
So the founding members, they started this, as you'll recall, during the COVID summer when most of us were either laid off or working remotely.
It gave them a lot of time to kick around new ideas and work on their own projects.
They launched Antelope Hill with a couple of republished works.
I was brought in later on into the summer to work on our first translation.
So I translated Leon DeGrelle's poetic memoir, The Burning Souls, which is about his time on the Eastern Front and his escape to Spain after the war.
And since then, we've continued expanding.
We've brought in more people, original authors, new translators, and things have been going very well for us.
We've been growing every month, publishing new titles consistently, usually every two weeks when we can manage it.
And things have been going great on that front.
Taylor, I was, I guess, first introduced to Antelope Hill last year.
I may have heard about it a little bit in advance of that, but I think the first interaction I had with any of your authors was when we had the really fantastic Trey Garrison on the program.
It was around this time last year.
It was right before Christmas to discuss opioids for the masses.
And that book was so well done.
And of course, Trey was a professional journalist before he told too much truth and got banished to our ranks.
But such a great talent, such an important topic.
And I got an advanced copy of the book and I said, somebody is professionally producing incredible content.
Talk about that.
Talk about, well, and I know Kurt just mentioned it a little bit, but talk about some of the other topics and issues that Enlop Hill is giving a voice to.
Yeah, certainly.
So we cover a pretty wide range of content that we look for.
Either some of it we like go out of our way, we look and try to find, some of it we solicit, or people will submit things to us.
So a lot of it obviously is, if you look at our catalog, a lot of historical content there's a lot of reprints of old books that are out of print or that are very difficult to find that we think are particularly important to European history or the history of European philosophy.
We do of course have a lot of original works like that.
You mentioned that one that I actually worked on.
I did editing for that one.
I agree it is really a fantastic book and a very important book.
And it really just does some incredible original investigative work on a very, very important topic, which is the opioid crisis and a lot of the machinations that have gone into creating that crisis and all the suffering that it's caused.
So we have stuff like that.
Another of our very first original authors that published with us was Scott Howard, who did the Transgender Industrial Complex, which is a very, very comprehensive, very well-researched look into the whole transgender phenomenon, into who's behind it, who's funding it, how it really has come to be.
So we really do cover a pretty wide range of things.
We have some fiction books.
Like I said, we have a lot of historical material.
We have some historical fiction.
We have some more philosophical material.
And then we have those kinds of more original works.
Some of them are investigative.
Some of them are more research-based.
We also do a writing competition every year.
We've done, I believe, two now.
And that is basically a chance for people to submit their own works, generally speaking, short stories or poems.
And we publish the best ones out of those as well.
So, yeah, so we do cover a pretty wide range of content with our work.
I heard it, I believe I heard it said that you go back and reprint old books that are out of print that you can't get.
Is that correct also?
Yeah, yeah.
So actually the book that Kurt first worked on, which is one of our, remained one of our top sellers, is called The Burning Souls by Leon de Grel, which is also the first ever English translation of that work.
So yeah, that was something that was not really available to English readers and it's something that we really made available.
Other books that we have that we have been able to popularize or make more available to a wider audience are, for example, Hitler by the British journalist Wyndham Lewis, the collected works of Padrick Pierce, who was an Irish nationalist.
We have a book about Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists, which was actually the first one that I worked on when I started with the company.
Yeah, so there's a lot of historical works and again ones that are either difficult to find or ones that we have been able to introduce for the first time for the English language audience.
I will share with you this gentleman, one of the members of our listening family from the Nashville area, has just sent in a message.
I have several of their books, Burning Souls.
He mentions that you turned him on to the Hungarian authoress, Cecile Tourme, and that he is now reading the essential speeches of Adolf Hitler.
There is really something for everybody here.
And when I say everybody, I mean all age groups at antelopehillpublishing.com.
Right now, as we speak at home, on my son's, I have an eight-year-old son.
On his bedside table is a copy of the Antelope Hill book, Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers: Desperate Encounters with Indians, Tories, and Refugees, Daring Exploits of the Texas Rangers and others, and incidents of guerrilla warfare, fearful deeds of gamblers and desperados, rangers, and regulators of the West and Southwest, hunting stories, trapping adventures, etc., etc., etc.
The cover art is just phenomenal.
It looks like a Davey Crockett-type character going up against a wild Indian with a tomahawk.
And we are having just the best time reading this together.
Folks, please, there is something for you at antelopehillpublishing.com.
Kurt and Taylor are our guests right now talking about the work at Antelope Hill.
They'll be back with us right after this.
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.
Why does the left lie constantly?
Because they get spiritual power from lying.
The lies come from Satan, the father of lies.
John 8:44.
Here's how the political lying process works: Satan provides the beast with a lie.
Then, the more they use the lie, the more spiritual power they get.
Look, the media is a lie multiplier, and this multiplication gives more evil spiritual power to the beast, and that can overwhelm and even deceive the body of Christ, especially when the body is being disobedient to the head.
The churches today are incorporated, so they're subordinate to human government.
They obey the beast and do nothing to restore our national relationship with God.
And the government shall be on his shoulders.
Isaiah 9:6.
That verse is not for the present-day church.
Rather, it is for the end time church, the body of the line of Judah.
A message from Christ's Kingdom Ministries.
During the last break, I was once again browsing the website there at antelopehillpublishing.com.
And I mean, what I said before is true.
Whatever piques your interest, there's probably something on topic there.
And with this, for one more segment, are two representatives of that organization, Kurt and Taylor.
Kurt, let's go back to you now and let's talk about: hey, listen, the message can be right all day long.
You can have the right message, but if it is not being presented in the right way, then it's just not going to get out.
I mean, this goes back to the old saying, the sizzle is as important as the steak, or something like that.
What is the importance of our institutions being professional?
You can have the right message, you can have the right ideas, but if it's not being packaged in a way that it's going to sell to the public, you might as well be wrong.
And so when I see something, the content coming out of Antelope Hill, but with that professional packaging, then you got something that could take you places.
Let's talk about the professional output of Antelope Hill.
Tell us what your background is.
How'd you get such a good presentation in all of your publications?
Well, I mean, I think you're absolutely right.
Professionalism is very important.
Presentation is very important.
And I think part of it is just mindset because we don't see ourselves as eternal victims or outsiders.
What we want to do is we want to compete with the current elites who are running the show now.
And, of course, ultimately to replace them.
So we're not satisfied with only appealing to the fringe or niche consumers.
We want something with broad reach.
We want something that is really made for a modern struggle.
And in that respect, of course, it's very important to appeal to the public, even just from a purely commercial sense.
But the other thing that I think is really important is that we have to present in a way that draws in more ambitious people and more effective people who will see this and want to be a part of it.
We can only go so far on amateurs, you know, people who have learned a lot of the right things, but don't necessarily know how to go out into the world and affect the kind of change that they want.
So I think that's very important.
The better you present, the more confidence you're going to generate in people with ambition that this is going somewhere.
I can be a part of this.
So I think that's very key.
Over the course of, of course, we've been here nearly two decades, and over the course of the last several years, there's been a proliferation of content producers.
Some of them are fast-burned.
Some of them come and go quickly.
Some of them stand the test of time.
And Taylor, I think Antelope Hill has what it takes to stand the test of time.
Not only is it producing serious content at a professional level, but it has had a very steady stream of content production over the course of the last couple of years.
And you've already withstood the test of time and of trial and tribulation inso much as there's been a doxing and you've walked through it and it didn't melt you, it tempered you, and you've got that under your belt.
And everybody has to go through that.
Yeah, I mean, we're certainly planning to be here for the long haul.
And, you know, like you've identified, we have already encountered various forms of persecution or repression from the state, from even, you know, we call woke capitalism or forces like that.
Yeah, I mean, one thing that we really have just been impressed by is how much talent there is that's available that, like Kurt was saying, we have been able to draw to ourselves either to work for us in various capacities or authors who submit their works.
There just is much intelligence and talent out there.
And it really has been something that was very encouraging for us.
And yeah, should make us all very encouraged that, you know, the more that we are able to professionalize, the more that we keep pushing forward, the more we're going to find and draw in more and more people.
And, you know, we're really going to be able to persevere.
Really is a lot of diversity with regards to the product there.
And again, I'll give you the website, antelopehillpublishing.com.
Keith and I were marveling earlier today that already on the radio stations here in Memphis and the restaurant that we went to tonight and some of the other businesses that we've been into the last couple of days, they're already playing the Christmas music.
It's a week before Thanksgiving, but already Christmas is the order of the day and everything's starting to transition into that season.
Folks, if you need a stocking stuffer, we all got to buy Christmas presents, right?
I can tell you, why don't you buy presents that will offer the recipient a worthwhile gift while supporting our own people and our own institutions and our own organizations.
Now, that is a dollar well spent.
And there are a few places you can do it at.
We were talking about above time coffee roasters earlier.
Sarah Dye, they're there at the Amerin conference tonight, and she's been on this program.
Well, Antelope Hill Publishing, a book fits well in a stocking.
And I see here even now, Faith and Heritage, a Christian Nash anthology.
We have worked with the people at Faith and Heritage.
A lot of crossover, a lot of stuff.
Folks, what's next for, I say folks, gentlemen, I should say, what is next for Antelope Hill throughout the rest of this year?
What little remains of it?
And it's hard to believe how quickly we're about to turn the corner and wrap up another calendar year.
But what is on the agenda for Antelope Hill the rest of this year and on into 2023 and beyond?
Well, we're going to keep on keeping on.
Like I mentioned, we try to put out at least one book every two weeks to a month.
There's always more coming out.
And yeah, like you said, there is something for everyone here.
We try to appeal to a wide range.
We'll continue to do that.
One of the interesting books that we have coming out is the personal story of a gentleman who goes by the name Lord Miles of Afghanistan, Miles Brutledge.
Some of you may have heard of him.
He's a British student who found himself in Kabul during the United States military evacuation of Afghanistan and saw it with his own eyes.
He's been a fairly prolific adventurer since then, gone to a lot of interesting places, gotten himself into and out of a lot of interesting situations.
So if you're looking for something to look forward to, like you said, maybe a stocking stuffer, that would certainly be a good selection.
And there's no shortage of those good selections.
Folks, this isn't just a puff piece.
I like to promote the people who are doing good work.
We say this every time we do something like this.
We don't promote anything that we don't totally believe in.
We don't promote things that we're not supporting ourselves.
And so, but I'm looking at this, though.
I know some people are visual in nature.
Go to the website and look at the cover art of some of these titles.
And I guarantee there'll be a title that you like and that you want to buy, that you want to gift to somebody else.
And again, antelopehillpublishing.com is the website.
Gentlemen, a final word to each of you.
Go.
All right.
I think the main point I want to emphasize is something for everyone here.
We've been putting out some new war stories from the Chechen War and the new one from the war in the Donbass in Ukraine.
There's plenty of historical literature, news stories, fiction, some stuff that's more fun, like the thrilling adventures, I think is a really great addition to the catalog.
Children's books, the competition books are fantastic.
Original poetry curated by our team here.
Come check it out.
Yep.
I really can't say much better myself.
You know, we're going to continue.
putting out all kinds of books.
We're going to continue professionalizing, hopefully growing more and more.
And yeah, just very much appreciate you guys having us on.
Please do go check out the catalog.
Well, we certainly will, and we hope that our audience will as well.
And we have a very unique, this is something I stole from the owner of this network who syndicates our work, Sam Bushman.
We have a pretty unique copyright here at TPC.
You have the right to copy anything we do.
So if you want to take the broadcast archive of this and chop it up and post it, you have by all means our excitement.
Yes, not just permission, but the excitement in doing that.
I was trying to find the Twitter handle.
Where am I at?
Oh, there I am.
Following.
Who am I following?
I am following Antelope Hill.
There they are.
On Twitter, which, by the way, we just mentioned the last hour, Donald Trump has been reinstated to Twitter tonight, even while we were on the air.
But if you want to follow Antelope Hill Publishing on Twitter at Antelope Hill, it couldn't be easier.
Antelope, like the animal, like the antelope.
At Antelope Hill on Twitter.
And the website, of course, is antelopehillpublishing.com.
All right, gentlemen, thank you so much.
We look forward to staying in touch and best of luck to you.
And anything more we can do to be of service, do let us know.
And folks, the endorsement is there.
Go and make your purchases.
You take care, my friends, and good luck.
We'll talk again.
Thank you very much.
We'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen, to wrap up this program.
Yours truly, James Edwards and Keith Alexander.
Stay tuned.
Unstitution is our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA Radio News with Kenneth Burns.
The United Kingdom has been the staunchest Western supporter of Ukraine, a point that UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reiterated during a surprise visit to Kiev Saturday to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
This year alone, we have provided £2.3 billion of military support.
And we will do the same again next year.
Sunak is pledging more support.
He's promising an air defense package valued at $60 million.
It comes as Russia has been attacking Ukraine's key infrastructure from the air, causing widespread blackouts.
Sunak also says the UK will provide training and humanitarian support.
Jack Smith is a name that you are about to hear more.
He's been appointed special counsel to oversee the Justice Department investigation into the presence of classified documents at former President Donald Trump's Florida estate.
Trump spoke at Mar-a-Lago Friday night, giving his reaction to the news.
This is a rigged deal, just as the 2020 election was rigged, and we can't let them get away with it.
We can't do it.
We cannot let this happen to our country.
Trump lost the 2020 presidential election and every lawsuit challenging the results.
He also referred to Smith, a Justice Department veteran, as, quote, super radical left.
Much of Western New York remains in a state of emergency as a big lake effect snowstorm continues to hit the region.
Mayor Bymer and Brown says progress has been made in the cleanup, but there is still a long way to go, especially in South Buffalo, which accumulated at least four feet.
Currently, in that area, we are hauling snow because so much snow has fallen.
There's really no place to put it now.
More snow expected Saturday night into the early morning.
At least another foot is in the forecast.
Travel bans remain in parts of Buffalo and north of the city.
Online at usaradio.com, you are listening to USA Radio News.

Maybe you
recognize that iconic suite from my most iconic film, but you probably haven't heard it played by the Danish national symphony orchestra.
Well, to tell us why we brought that particular piece to the program tonight is Jack Ryan back, and we're going to talk about Dave Chappelle.
We've talked about Kanye West.
We've talked about Kyrie Irving.
What has Dave Chappelle done that can match that?
We'll find out in a moment.
But first, Jack, welcome back to the show and happy Thanksgiving, Jack.
Hey, thank you so much.
And happy Thanksgiving to our listeners out throughout the United States.
I'm outside of Chicago where winter has come very early.
We never usually never get cold and snow before Thanksgiving, but it's come in.
It's cold.
It's wet.
I saw these squirrels bearing their acorns before, so I knew that we were going to get a winner.
They don't say global warming anymore in Midwest Chicago.
They say climate change, and it's called season.
So we're going to get a winner.
It's been below freezing here at night for a while.
I mean, at least a week.
It's definitely been an early winter.
Put James's brag to the test.
He says he loves cold weather.
Well, I think he may have had enough of it this year.
Oh, that's nothing.
No, you know I love it.
You like cold weather?
Do you like cold Chicago women?
Like Hillary Clinton.
No, we like hot women and cold beer.
I think so.
But I played that song.
It's the theme to the first Godfather movie, which I think is one of the greatest movies in American history.
It was done by an Italian-American director, Francis Ford Coppola.
So it's not just this one group that it does dominate Hollywood, but there's other people that come into it.
So The Godfather is fantastic.
And I'd like for all of our listeners to check out the YouTube videos from Michael Francis.
And he was a made member of the Clumbo crime family, mafia family in New York City.
He's gotten away.
He didn't become an informant, but he did renounce that life.
And he talked about it.
And this person is an incredible speaker, handsome man, and he tells it like it is.
And he talked about the stories for from the 20s to the 80s, the FBI top law enforcement official, Jagr, assured the nation that there was no organized crime.
There was no mafia.
And so why can anyone here on our show?
Because you understand why Jared Gruber would say that there was no mafia.
Well, every person, regular person in New York and New Jersey and like would say there was one.
Why did he say there was no organized crime mafia?
Why did Jared Gruber say that?
Because he couldn't beat him.
No, because he was a homosexual cross-dresser.
Hey, hey, Keith, what character would you be in Godfather?
What character would I be?
I would like to be that guy, that young guy, the handsome guy that was a fine arts major that was trying to marry one of Michael's goddaughters.
And then Mike was interviewing him.
And he said, like, why do you want, you know, how can you support my daughter, my goddaughter, on a fine arts?
And he said, well, my father is a stockholder there.
So that's the kind of guy.
That's the person I would like to be.
It might be the type of person you are.
That is the person.
But it's a great movie in there.
But we're going to get on to this subject.
It's been a big week this week.
Things were happening.
We're going out.
And lots of people, I think that Dave Chappelle is one of the most brilliant comedy persons in our nation's history.
And there's two things with Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are the best black American comedy boys in the last 30 years.
Here's one, Dave Chappelle, about the Jussie Smalle hoax was amazing.
And then this week he's talking about the issue of Kanye West and Irving, Michael Irving, the basketball player.
And he's just talking about this issue.
And it's very much very similar to the Italian mafia where everyone is saying that, oh, it doesn't exist.
Let's just play it very quickly.
So here's what happened.
This is why we, again, why we came in with the Godfather theme tonight.
So if you don't know the backstory of this, we've talked for a couple of weeks now, going back to last month, what was going on with Kanye West, obviously, with Kyrie Irving and the NBA and how they ran afoul of the Jews.
And now you have Dave Chappelle, which as Jack mentioned, he and Chris Rock, probably the two premier and predominant black stand-up comics alive today.
And he was the guest host of Saturday Night Live last week.
And I'm about to play for you what he said.
And after I play it, you're going to be asking yourself, well, how did that make it on the air?
Well, how it made it on the air was when they did the dress rehearsal, he had a different script because he knew if he shared in the dress rehearsal what he was going to say, they were going to spike it and they weren't going to let him do it.
And so he had one script for the dress rehearsal, and this is what he said on the actual live show.
Saturday Night Live is actually aired live and uncensored, not unrehearsed.
Saturday Night Live for nothing.
That's right, Keith.
Here we go.
In Brooklyn, show business rules.
This is a rule.
You know, the rules of perception.
If they're black, then it's a gang.
If they're Italian, it's a mom.
But if they're Jewish, it's a coincidence and you should never speak about it.
So he got laughs from the live audience there in New York, no less.
I actually heard a joke.
I don't know if it's a joke, but I heard this from a guy who lives in New York.
He says in New York, there's two people, Jews and anti-Semites.
So, but Dave Chappelle did that.
And boy, oh, boy, for the third time this month, Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL was putting out an all-points alert, and the alarm bells were ringing.
And there was what little Harry had left.
We got to end a third black man's career this month.
And he was all after him.
But that's it.
And I tell you what, I like to see it.
I don't care who the messenger is.
If it's a messenger that's speaking truth, we're going to amplify it.
And these happen to be black men who have been doing it in the last few weeks.
And more power to them, as I say.
They're not going to cuck.
I don't really believe that the black Kyrie Irving cucked a little.
I mean, he still wants to play basketball, but he still hasn't been reinstated yet.
But Kanye hasn't.
We'll see what happens with Chappelle.
But your take on that.
You love comedy, Jack.
Your take on what you heard from Chappelle on Saturday Night Live?
This quote was credited to French philosopher Voltaire.
Other people said it wasn't him, but it's an incredible quote.
It says, if you want to know who rules you, just notice who you are not allowed to criticize.
So if you're in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia or even England, you can't criticize Islam or the Prophet Muhammad or any of his relatives or say some things.
Look at Salman Rushdie, who made an edgy novel in 1981 and said some things, and then he got in the wrong track, and they were looking.
Well, he got assassinated.
He almost got killed.
But in the United States, you cannot criticize or just notice these J people.
And so Hollywood has always been, it's not monopolized, but it's dominated by this J ethnic group.
But they did lots of great movies.
It wasn't all bad.
They had The Wizard of Oz.
They had Google.
Oh, you know why that was, don't you?
Yeah.
It was because of the censor boards I had under the Hays Code that went out of the way.
They had censor boards that you didn't have pornography yet.
I know.
Well, they basically kept the Jewish power and influence in Hollywood under control until the late 50s when they started to die off and weren't replaced.
And I remember back then that the Jewish power structure in Hollywood, they were cloaking themselves in righteousness.
They were great protectors of the First Amendment.
That's the only reason they were against these censor boards.
But we force them to do that.
Well, they did great movies.
But unfortunately, it's a reality that the American mass media, Hollywood, and the New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC are now dominated by this ethnic mafia.
And it's not the Italian mafia.
I wish the Italian mafia like Michael Francis was dominating our media instead of the other ethnic mafia that's dominating our media.
And if you mention this media, you will be called out and you'll have your, you'll be threatened with unemployment and things like that.
So Dave Chappelle was noticing that today and this week.
A lot of notice.
That's what we've been saying.
Kevin McDonald.
A lot of noticing going on in the last few weeks out of the black paper in the wrong wildcat sound.
He got the biggest music mogul in the black community, an NBA, all-NBA super all-star now, the Black's Greatest Committee.
A lot of noticing.
We'll be right back.
Hello, TPC family.
It's James, and I've got to tell you that I sleep better at night knowing that there are organizations like the Conservative Citizens Foundation.
The purpose of the Conservative Citizens Foundation is to promote the principles of limited government, individual liberty, equality before the law, property rights, law and order, judicial restraint, and states' rights, while, at the same time, exploring the dangers posed by liberalism to our national interests and cultural institutions.
The Conservative Citizens Foundation also seeks to educate the public on the dangers of extremist ideologies like critical race theory and cultural Marxism.
I've worked with the good people at the Conservative Citizens Foundation for many years, and their work comes with my complete endorsement.

Okay, everybody, it's our last segment before Thanksgiving.
And my God, that is something we're going to head into December and all the fun we have during the Christmas season here on this program.
And that's going to be wraps on another year of broadcasting, Keith.
It's going by too fast.
But since it is our last show before Thanksgiving, I want to pause very quickly before we toss it back to our friend and teammate, Jack Ryan, to read George Washington's original Thanksgiving proclamation.
It's our last opportunity to do so.
So we're going to take advantage of the opportunity and remind you that this message represents the kind of America that we would seek to restore.
And if you can find it, read it to your family on Thursday.
Now I'm going to try to read this.
I'm probably going to butcher it because we don't read, speak, or think in proper English or grammar anymore.
It's like reading the King James Version is difficult because that's the way the Lord spoke it.
That's right.
But this is George Washington's Thanksgiving proclamation, the original Thanksgiving.
And the father of the country wrote, Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly implore his protection and favor.
And whereas both houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, can you imagine this today, requested me to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity to peaceably establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November, to be devoted to the people of these states to the service of that great and glorious being who is the author of all good that was, that is, or that will be, that we may all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks for his care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation,
for the signal and manifold mercies of the favorable interpositions of his providence in course and conclusion of the late war, for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed,
for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been able to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the nation now one lately instituted for the civil and religious liberties with which we are blessed and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge and in general for all the great and various favors which he has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also, that we may unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and ruler of nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually, to render our national government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed,
to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations, especially such as have shown kindness to us, and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord, to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and to increase the science among them and us, and generally grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he, that being God, alone knows to be best,
given under my hand at the city of New York on the third day of October, A.D. 1789.
Ladies and gentlemen, here at the Political Cesspool, yours truly, Keith Alexander, Jack Ryan, our entire staff and crew, we give thanks this week and on Thanksgiving to our loyal audience of faithful listeners.
We could not do it without you.
And from our family to yours, we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.
Keith, they do not make messengers and messages like that anymore.
Could you imagine a joint session of Congress approving something like that?
Yeah, I can't imagine Joe Biden delivering a speech like that.
Jack, I want to tell you, friend and brother, happy Thanksgiving.
I know we've got a few minutes left.
We're going to get back to the, you know, we're going to get back to the issues at hand.
But I wanted to be sure to take that time before time runs out, and this is our last program before Thanksgiving, to tell everyone what I'm thankful for.
I'm thankful for the team around me, our production staff, Cameron and Jay and Sam and everybody at the network, our listening audience at large, and obviously all of the guests that come on, those you've heard from tonight, those you hear from throughout the year, and of course the team that works with us every week.
Jack, you're among that.
And happy Thanksgiving.
Well, happy Thanksgiving.
Actually, that's the first time I think I've heard that George Washington address.
I'm very familiar with George Washington's farewell address to the nation where he warned about the influence of foreign influence, which is now the issues of AIPAC, the Israeli lobbying, and things like that.
But I think that I'm pretty confident that George Washington was our best president ever.
He had two advisors, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.
Those are two bright guys.
After the war was over, there was a lot of resentment in the country because of the war and resentment.
And so the French monarchy was overthrown because they buried the treasury to help the American independence movement.
And they had the French revolutionary government came in, and the new representative of France, Revolutionary France, was a citizen Jenet.
And he was trying to stir up trouble and trying to get Americans to fight France's side against England and trying to say that Washington was a king and things like that.
And that was what he was talking about, the influence of foreign governments.
But then things changing back in Revolutionary France, that Jenet fell out of power.
And if he went back to France, the Jacobin plagues would have killed him.
And so he applied for asylum in the United States.
And another person, a guy like Stalin, would just say, well, now you go back and get killed.
But George Washington, the good man that he was, said, well, we didn't like what you said.
But yeah, he did give him asylum.
And so George Washington said, we were not going to get involved in these European wars, France against England and things like that, or these horrible wars now, Ukraine and Russia.
So that he was, George Washington was the first America first president.
And that's the policy.
What a great guy.
And I'm just sorry.
It's all downhill after him, except for President Davis.
I was about to say everything that he warned against in his farewell address seems to be the foreign policy of the United States now.
No, it just did.
But what a great guy.
And just what a temperament.
He wasn't a violent guy, but if things, you know, if things went bad, he would set off the horses and he would fight and he would win, not just against the British, against the Whiskey Rebellion and things like that, but just a great temperament man, great leader.
And that policy of staying out of foreign entanglement, putting the interests of our country and industry, putting America first, that's the policy that we should have been doing and we haven't been doing since the Spanish-American War, World War I, all this other stuff.
So yeah, that guy, the Virginian, man, that guy was so great.
But thank you for sharing that Thanksgiving one.
I hadn't heard that before.
That was great.
Let me say this.
That's just one of the services we provide here, Jack.
Well, I want you to know that I have among my ancestors, General William Alexander, who was under General Washington and covered his retreat from the Battle of Long Island.
If he had not done that successfully, Washington would have been captured, probably killed by the British, and the whole American experiment would never have happened.
So we owe it to your family that we're here.
Yeah, right.
But General William Alexander, look him up in Wikipedia.
Well, I got to say this about those people, Washington and his cohorts.
You know what?
I got to tip my hat.
They risked everything.
You know, the only crime in war is losing.
Had they lost, they would have suffered the fate of our southern forebears.
Adolf Hitler or anybody.
That's right, absolutely right.
Who is good, the winning side?
Who is evil?
Who were the villains?
The losing side.
And that's the Norm McDonald joke.
You know, you like comedy.
Norm McDonald, the great, another Saturday Night Live comedian.
He said, Yeah, I went through my history books and I couldn't believe it.
The good guys won every time.
So that's just the thing.
I mean, the victors write the history, and so we all know that.
But that's the thing.
I mean, the only thing that spared Washington from being written in history as others who lost was the fact that they won.
But they did risk everything.
They risked everything.
And they, like anyone else, could have lost that and probably should have lost that.
And they didn't.
But I'll tell you this.
I always tip my hat to people who are willing to risk anything.
So, you know, so few are willing to risk it today.
The last time we really had an at-bat on this continent was obviously in 1865.
The fall of the Confederacy was our last at-bat for free and responsible government on this continent.
Our last time as a race.
We haven't even had an at-bat as a race worldwide in the last three quarters of a century.
So what we're doing here, people say, oh my God, I can't believe how brave you are.
Your balls are so big.
You get on the radio.
You talk.
I get emails like that.
I say, you know, it's filthy rags compared to the people who risked it all.
But we are risking more than most, that's for sure.
And it's certainly a tie that binds.
It's a tie that binds.
And it's a brotherhood.
I tell you, the motto of Robert E. Lee should be, nice guys finish last.
That's the problem.
How nice was he?
I mean, he fought like hell.
He took a pound of flesh.
But look at this.
There was only one Union town burned down by Confederate troops in the entire war, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, to protest Sherman's March to the sea.
On the other hand, it was standard operating procedure for the federal troops.
And what he did, well, not everybody in the audience necessarily does.
In Mississippi alone, which was not a major theater in the war, 43 towns and cities were burnt down by federal troops.
So, see, that's why I say the Confederates were the nice guys.
Maybe that wasn't they should have burned them all.
They should have never stopped fighting.
They should have reverted to guerrilla war, and we should still be fighting.
But, Jack, go to you.
Well, my comment is there's lots of towns and cities that should be burnt to the ground.
Boulder, Colorado, Berkeley, California.
Well, they're burning their own self down.
Or Portland.
Black Lives Matter is doing the job that the Confederates wouldn't do.
Even Connecticut that they have.
And so I don't know.
Camden, New Jersey, the first city in America that had a black mayor.
And I remember in 69, he said, I don't know where America's going, but Camden's going to get it.
You remember the scene in Back to the Future?
A colored mayor.
That'll be the day, as they put it.
Oh, we're out of time.
Happy Thanksgiving, Jack.
Always good to have a laughing to end the show.
And we love you.
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.
We'll talk to you next week.
God bless you, Jack, and God bless everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Christmas season kicks off on TPC next week, and we'll be here to share it with you.
Thanks to Linda Baum, to Kyle Rogers, to Rick Tyler, our friends Kurt and Taylor and Angelo Pillman.
