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.
That's what the left says every time Drew Fraser's on.
You better run.
You better take cover.
And hey, where else can you go from Northern Ireland, where Nick Griffin was in the first hour, to Australia, where we are this hour, all in the span of just a single commercial break.
But here we are.
That's what we do here on TPC's March Around the World.
And we're kicking off the series in grand fashion tonight.
Nick Griffin, Paul Fromm coming up in the next hour.
But right now, once again, representing Australia during our world tour is Drew Fraser, the former professor of law at Macquarie University in Sydney and author of the WASP Question.
Now, he's back tonight to discuss a few things with us, including the end of Australia Day.
What does that mean?
What's that all about?
We're about to find out.
And he's going to promote his newest book, Reinventing Aristocracy in the Age of Woke Capital.
But before he does any of that, let's say hello to him.
Drew, how are you down in the land of Oz tonight?
Or today, as it were.
It's Sunday afternoon for you.
Yes, that's right.
A beautiful sunny day in the Blue Mountains behind Sydney.
It's tough.
I'm jealous.
I tell you what.
Blue Mountains of Sydney or Memphis, Keith.
What do you think?
Well, I tell you what, if you ever come here, I want to take you to my church.
It's a Reformed Anglican church.
And I tell you, they are, finding a good church is just as scarce as hens' teeth nowadays.
I don't know what it's like over there in Australia, but I feel so blessed to have a good church to go to.
And I know that James feels the same way.
He's got the fundamentalist background, and he's fine.
But, you know, they ran him and his church out of the Southern Baptist Convention.
So, you know, it's not a, you know, everybody's suffering from the same disease now.
Well, you know, I don't want to sidetrack what we want to talk to Drew about right now, but it was Drew from whom that I stole the line MSNBC at church that I've used so much.
He literally wrote the book, Dissident Dispatches, an alt-right guide to Christian Theology, which was one of our fundraising incentives some months, some years ago now, actually.
Not just months, but some years ago now.
And talking about how these seminaries now is like going to the Communist Party at prayer.
It's just, we've had some great conversations with Drew about that, but that's a different conversation.
Right now, hey, this is what we do on the march around the world.
How are things going in Australia?
Nick Griffin in the first hour was particularly upbeat about the grassroots of his island.
How about your island continent, Drew?
Same.
Well, I've been searching, but it's kind of disappointing, I'd have to say.
But we will see.
I mean, there is a part.
Well, have you, you haven't heard about the referendum on the voice for Aboriginals here, have you?
Well, and what I'm talking about.
I had no idea you had so many Aborigines down there.
Well, the numbers are increasing as the benefits are expanding.
So there's a lot of complaints about Aboriginal genocide, but for some reason, they are the fastest-growing population group in Australia because it's becoming quite advantageous to be Aboriginal in Australia.
And the leaders, well, and it's a strange thing.
As the population grows, their skin color on average seems to become fairer.
It's a kind of a genetic marvel.
But anyway, one of the advantages to being Aboriginal in Australia in the future, if the government has its way, will be that they will have, in effect, a third house of parliament all to themselves.
And this is, well, the House of basically fair-skinned Aboriginals, I think it will probably turn out.
That'll be their version of the House of Lords over there.
They're the people of the Lord.
Yep, that's the new aristocracy.
And there will be a referendum on this sometime in the near future.
And all the stops are out in order to bully and shame the Anglo-Australian population, the people who created the Commonwealth of Australia, to vote yes on this referendum.
And of course, there is no avenue or medium through which opposition to this can be expressed.
So whether or not people will resist is a very good question.
And I am hoping and praying that people will just simply refuse to go along with it.
But it's anyone's, yes.
Okay, all right.
So everybody's an Aborigine now.
We're all Aborigines now.
You're all Aborigines now.
It pays better.
Let me ask, this is an aside as well.
What about what happened in your sister nation down there, New Zealand?
Jacinda Acern is a, how do you say her last name?
I don't know.
Our art.
Adern is out.
What happened there?
Well, she just ran out of gas, apparently.
And there are a number of theories as to why.
That's right.
I don't know.
But it seems to be a pattern, doesn't it?
I mean, it's much like Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland, who kind of made a big mistake in the tranny issue and he abandoned that ship.
And so Jacinda Ardurin is not very popular there or she wasn't very popular prior to her resignation.
And I think she just decided that she would look for some prestigious international job and bail out.
Why do you think it is that whenever there is one of those?
Well, it seems like whenever there is a nut running for the head position in any Western country, it's nine out of ten times a woman.
I don't know what it is.
It's just, uh, uh, you know.
There's a lot of male nuts.
Well, we had a bullet with Hillary Clinton.
I know, but, I mean, it's really gone.
You know, it's just gone.
All right, all right.
Well, I think they're into that checking the boxes.
Hold on.
We got learning with women checking two or three boxes.
We got to take a break.
We're back with Drew next.
Stay tuned, everybody.

Hey guys, Gregory Hood here with American Renaissance.
I've got a very simple question for you.
Can you build a nation on nothing other than self-hatred?
Recently, Australia celebrated Australia Day, which commemorates the arrival of the first fleet under Captain Arthur Phillip, the arrival of the European settlers, the founding of Australia.
It's the fundamental national holiday, the equivalent of America's 4th of July, and is marked with the usual celebrations, parades, cookouts, inclusive activities everyone could participate in.
Or at least they used to be able to, because it looks like Australia itself is now being canceled.
In fact, Australia Day is now being turned into a day of mourning.
If you're American, this should sound familiar because it's the same thing that happened to Columbus Day.
Take Wollangong University, where Australia Day is being called Invasion Day, and employees are being given the choice whether to take the day off or work as a kind of protest.
For our First Nations colleagues, this is clearly they don't want to recognize the celebration, said the Vice Chancellor.
This year, the Australian Open did not even recognize Australia Day.
No fireworks, no national anthem.
But don't worry, it had a First Nations Day and a glam slam event for LGBT and whatever else they have these days.
Okay, so great video at American Renaissance.
Gregory Hood sitting in for Jared Taylor for that weekly video that they do.
And this time, just fresh as of a few days ago, they are talking about the end of Australia Day.
Now, when Drew sent me that via email, I said, well, we got to talk to Drew about that because he's coming up here for March around the world.
Drew, your equivalent of the 4th of July got canceled.
What's going on over there?
Well, it hasn't happened yet.
And again, the opposition to this pretty much has to remain underground because you can't get any exposure to that opposition in the mainstream media or as you just heard in the academic world or among the political class.
But I think it will be deeply unpopular should they try to cancel it.
But the interesting thing is about that video is that I learned as a result of that video that Australia Day had only been made an official national holiday in the early 1990s,
which was kind of news to me because I came here in 1975 and I can't remember a time when Australia Day wasn't celebrated.
I can't remember whether you got a day off or not, but it was just a thing about Australia.
You know, it marks the end, the day after Australia Day is when the school year starts and so on.
So it's always been kind of a big deal for certainly the Anglo-Australian majority population.
And I think if they really keep pushing this, they will be sorry.
I hope.
Well, it sounds like they've let the air out of that balloon.
And where is Crocodile Dundee when we need him?
If you actually go back and watch the Crocodile Dundee movies, they are very politically incorrect, almost shockingly so.
Now, I grew up on the Crocodile Dundee movies.
The first one came out in about 1990.
I was 10 years old.
I rewatched it with my kids because I wanted them to see it.
You can't even imagine.
Australia was filled with Crocodile Dundees, these politically incorrect guys that would whip your ass.
They have some Aborigines in the movie, but they kind of help Crocodile Dundee and they're his friends.
So let me ask you this.
I don't want to ask Drew this because he has to live there.
Let's just say in an imaginary world, Whites never found Australia.
What does Australia look like under complete Aboriginal?
It looks like what it looks like.
The North Sentinelese Island, North Sentinel Island.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it would be a big wildlife preserve.
Yeah, so I mean, Whites.
Go ahead, Drew.
I was saying if there had been no whites here in 1941, presumably it'd be part of Greater Japan now.
Somebody would have taken it, that's for sure.
Well, I quote Sam Dixon so often, it's embarrassing.
I embarrass myself and I embarrass Sam, I'm sure, by doing it.
But I don't know anybody who puts things better than him.
I mean, maybe some can do it as well, but not better.
Anyway, I love Sam, and I know he tunes in from time to time.
And I don't do it because of that.
I do it because, well, this is spot on.
So this whole thing, we took the land from the indigenous.
We took the land from what they call the First Nations, the Indians, the Aborigines.
Whites are constantly attacked.
Sometimes I have Sam send me emails just so I can pocket some of this stuff and post it.
Whites are constantly attacked for taking America from the Indians and daring to build a civilization on the land being occupied by hundreds of tribes, maybe thousands of quarreling squatters.
The best reply has to include the fact that the Indians conquered each other for territory before Europeans arrived and that the latter only did what humans have been doing for millennia all over the world.
You can reinforce that position by contrasting what the white Christians did with what the Indians did when they conquered another tribe.
There are no mound builders left because the Cherokees and the Creeks simply exterminated them.
The Indians didn't create reservations or casinos for conquered peoples to enable them to survive, maintain their languages and religions and so on.
Only white Christians did this.
So here's the point.
Since all of the Indian, and I'm sure Aboriginal tribes as well in your neck of the woods, Drew, in existence conquered and exterminated some other people, if we were to blame for people like our ancestors for conquering others, then the clock should not start when we arrived, but earlier on.
And if that is done, then the racist, genocidal, xenophobic First Nations got what they deserve.
But I don't think people are thinking about it that way.
But I'm sure that's the way it was in Australia, too.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
And in fact, I mean, it's really interesting to contrast Australia, the position of Aborigines prior to British colonization here, to the situation in New Zealand,
where the New Zealand, the Maoris in New Zealand were sufficiently organized and were involved in genocidal wars with each other that they actually begged the British to come in and establish some kind of regime that would calm things down.
But they were organized enough to get the British to do that.
The Aboriginal tribes here hadn't even reached that level of political self-consciousness and so on.
So don't piss out the boot, as we say over here.
Yeah.
That's right.
But so who's got the who's at the top of the diversity totem pole in Australia right now?
The Aboriginals who didn't contribute quite as much to the continent, I'm sure.
I don't think the Aborigines would have built the Sydney Opera House by now had whites not landed there, but you know, for instance, but who sits higher?
The Sydney Opera House looks like an Aboriginal built it to me.
Come on now, Keith.
Get out of here.
Post-modernism.
Well, I mean, whatever.
But the cities then.
Any event, so are they getting the preferential treatment over there, Drew?
I mean, what are the white Australians?
They're sort of like down the ladder, I guess.
I mean, white Australians really, white is a term of abuse here, as it is in, well, throughout the Anglosphere, let's face it.
I mean, and it's really there.
There are signs of resistance, though.
I mean, even this thing about Australia Day, I've heard a lot of people In our sort of camp, let's say, who are quite prepared to say, hey, that's a good idea.
Let's call it Invasion Day and celebrate it.
Because really, that's what really was the best thing that ever happened to the Aboriginal.
Can you imagine?
Imagine how backward the Anglosphere would be if the English settlers had not come over to Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa.
They turned all of those backwaters into garden spots.
Exactly.
Yeah, if you had a temperate climate, they would turn into a miracle land that people from all over the world want to flock to now.
Hey, you guys do realize, don't you, that the British settlers in Canada were largely loyalists who were thrown out of the newly independent states.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Australia was just a prison colony, right?
Even our prisoners.
Look, everywhere you went, look, our ancestors, if you're an American or an Australian or whatnot, your ancestors were not, as my grandma used to say, from the top dresser drawer.
You know, basically, they scrubbed out the bottom of the jails.
For here in America, too.
I mean, it was the recalcitrance that came.
It wasn't the people in high society.
And what happened was it was, you know, the people were so talented at the bottom of the strata of society over there.
They've come in here.
Once they got away from that pernicious class system in England, which is almost a caste system and had reasonably fertile land in a temperate locale, they worked miracles.
Yep.
Yeah, in this area, sir, go ahead.
No, no, no.
I was just going to say, I was going to say, finish it.
We only got seconds remaining.
Here's what we'll do.
Hold that thought.
Hold it tight.
We're going to get to it when we come back.
We're going to spend a little bit of time in the last half of this hour with Drew Fraser talking about his newest book.
You don't want to miss it.
We'll tell you all about it.
Pursuing Liberty, using the Constitution as our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA News.
I'm Dave Collins.
Former President Trump delivered the keynote speech tonight as the Conservative Political Action Conference comes to a close.
The sinister forces trying to kill America have done everything they can to stop me, to silence you, and to turn this nation into a socialist dumping ground for criminals, junkies, Marxists, thugs, radicals, and dangerous refugees that no other country wants.
Before he wrapped up things, he took a shot at Joe and Hunter Biden.
Dad, we have a problem.
I left my laptop at the repair shop.
And Joe looks at him and says, what's on it, son?
What's on it?
And Hunter looks back and he says, every single crime that you've ever committed, Dad.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis skipped the annual CPAC event.
President Biden has a possible new competitor for the White House.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told a crowd in New Hampshire he may make a run for the White House.
I'm thinking about it.
Kennedy saying, I have the biggest hurdle, which is that my wife has green lighted it.
But there is one issue that may not sit well with his fellow Democrats.
Kennedy is a longtime anti-vaxxer, even heading the group Children's Health Defense that was kicked off social media for misinformation about COVID-19.
And all of these injuries that I speak about to children, there is no bigger issue for our country than that.
He joins a short list of Democrats that are eyeing a potential challenge to President Biden's re-election bid.
I'm John Schaefer.
Flight delays and cancellations are being blamed on winter storms across parts of the country.
According to Flight Aware, more than 700 flights have been canceled, over 1,800 delayed today due to strong winds and heavy snow.

Greece is cheap.
But the airfare costs a fortune.
Paris?
Not much closer.
And again, airfare.
What about Puerto Vallarta?
Let's face it, flying anywhere is just too expensive.
Wait, what's this?
Low-cost airlines.
With one call to low-cost airlines, you'll drastically slash your travel costs.
We're talking insanely low airline prices to any of your favorite destinations.
Where would you like to go?
London, Rome, Costa Rica, Australia?
Wow, that's cheap.
So why wait?
Call now to learn how crazy cheap it is to fly anywhere in the U.S. or international.
Our prices are so low, we can't publish them.
The only way to get them is to call to instantly hear the most amazing best deals on airline travel.
That, of course, a little snippet from the Crocodile Dundee theme.
And, you know, they made three of those movies, but the first one was really, really good.
The first one I think everybody liked.
It shows the intellectual bankruptcy of Hollywood.
You know, they can't come up with new scripts.
They just have to rework old ones, and if they find something that's successful, you're going to have – how many Rocky movies did they have, for example, Jay?
A couple too many.
Well, you know, Virginia Abernathy splits her time in Australia.
I bet if she and Drew ever got together, that'd be just like an intellectual nuclear, it'd be like nitro and glycerin getting together in terms of intellect.
But any event, Drew Fraser, Andrew Fraser, is back with us from Australia tonight.
And I want to remind you of two of his other books that you need to know before we talk about his latest, which just came out last late last year.
But interestingly and totally coincidentally, a review for this book by Nelson Rosett was published today of all days.
I had no idea it was going to be on Kevin McDonald's website, The Occidental Observer.
How to Create a New Elite just came out today.
The review of this book we're about to be talking about, Reinventing Aristocracy in the Age of Woke Capital, just came out today, as we're having Drew on tonight.
Now, let me first tell you, though, about his other two books, Dissident Dispatches, An Alt-Right God to Christian Theology.
I probably need to say no more.
It talks about Drew's.
I'll have a chapter on you in that.
It talks about his time in seminary.
And, well, it gives an ethno-patriotic concern to the fueling growth of the alt-right movement.
It rejects the ongoing spiritual degeneration and demographic displacement of every white European ethno nation.
Very, very interesting read.
So much so we offered it as a fundraising incentive.
And of course, the book I think previous to now, Drew was best known for, was The Wasp Question, which deals with the question of Anglo-Saxon life in the United States, Australia, and everywhere across the world where they have settled.
That is a book absolutely everybody needs to read.
You can still find it on Amazon, if you can believe it.
The WASP Question by Andrew Fraser.
But now, let's talk about reinventing aristocracy in the age of what capital.
Drew, it's your latest book, Making Some Waves.
Tell us what the subject and the content and the message of the book is, and then we're going to dive into it.
Okay, well, I mean, I suppose to explain the essence of the book, I can go back to my experience in law school when I studied corporate law.
And I remember being very surprised at the notion that a business corporation had within it this little body politic, that the business corporation had shareholders who had votes at a general meeting.
And I thought that was a really good idea.
Of course, the problem was that the distribution of voting power was on the basis of one share, one vote, which meant naturally enough that if you have 100,000 shares, you get 100,000 votes.
And if you only have one share, you only get one vote.
So essentially, you wind up with a plutocratic oligarchy.
But then I started to think about this over the years.
And I discovered a very interesting thing that in business schools and so on, when people study the corporations, when they write about the corporations, that nobody can actually explain why there is this sort of body politic within the corporation.
And indeed, the dominant theory of the corporation is that it doesn't really exist.
It's just a nexus of contracts.
It's just a convenience in transactional terms.
But then the question arises: if that's so, why can't the guys at the bottom of the heap who only have one or a few shares sell their voting rights?
I mean, if it doesn't really matter, and why do they keep sending out letters to shareholders asking for their proxies?
I mean, if the vote doesn't matter, why have it at all?
But of course, the answer to that is that the corporation isn't just a nexus of contracts.
It's a very powerful, especially in the American context.
The business corporation is a very powerful private government.
And that really raises a lot of questions about legitimacy.
And it was that problem of the relationship between corporate power and constitutional legitimacy that I was trying to deal with in this book.
And the way I dealt with it was by saying that actually, What we really need is to essentially recognize that shareholder democracy clearly doesn't work on a one share, one vote basis.
So why not just have two classes of corporate shares, some of which could be used to constitute a shareholder's senate on the basis of one share or one person,
one vote, so that you would actually have a body of shareholders who are ready, willing, and able to take responsibility for the risks and costs that corporations impose on society at large.
That's the essence of the book.
Andrew, this is Keith.
You know, we've had classes of stock before in law and whatnot.
We had preferred stock.
We've had non-voting, all sorts of different things.
And corporate elites are just another group of elites that have let us down.
And I don't know why we would expect that to be any different now with a new invention of it.
I was watching something.
I don't know if you've ever seen the movie The Little Foxes.
Have you ever seen that?
No.
Betty Davis, 1941.
It's about a southern.
Check it out.
See, and the patriarch is this old aristocratic southerner who's ill and had to go to like Maryland for special treatments.
He's confined to a wheelchair and he comes back and his scheming wife and her family are trying to steal money out of his accounts so they can invest in a cotton mill.
And he thinks a cotton mill is a terrible thing for the town.
It will be destructive of the life of the town and he doesn't want it.
But, you know, guess who wins in the end?
On Broadway, the star was Tallulah Bankhead.
In the movie, it was Betty Davis.
But, you know, they're both.
I would tell you what both are, but I wouldn't want to slander female dogs.
But see, what we have is that, you know, the worst guys have been winning all along.
And now it's gone, at least during my childhood and yours, and most of our middle age, you could depend on corporate leadership to be focused with a laser-like beam on making profits.
Now they seem to have given that all up for woke capital.
And I'm scratching my head saying, what in the world has, you know, it's like that movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy or something, where the Coke bottle falls out of the airplane.
I'm just, you know, and you're seeing things like, for example, Mike Lindell, the guy that has my pillow, used to sell a lot of his products through Bed Bath and Beyond.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond came out against him because he was such an adamant and active Trump supporter.
And then he got the word out that they had done that.
And now Bed Bath and Beyond is in bankruptcy.
But nothing seems to stop these people.
Tell us about this.
You would think that it would be elementary that if you go woke, you go, I mean, if you go woke, you go broke.
But, you know, everything has been taken over by these people.
And are they all on the take?
Or have they all suffered mental illness at the same time?
Well, it just avoid being the negative reaction for the press.
Well, I mean, the problem is, I mean, essentially, corporate plutocracy.
I mean, and when the people who control corporations, I guess there are only so many billion dollars you can accumulate, you know, to the point where getting more, the marginal utility of more money is less significant to you than power.
And the corporate plutocracy in the world today is a very closely knit group of people.
Hold on right there, Drew Fraser.
We'll be back with you in Australia for one more segment next.

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 1.
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.
I'm having way too much fun, ladies and gentlemen, way too much fun on the radio tonight with guests like this kicking off another stellar March Around the World already.
Nick Griffin, now Drew Fraser, Paul Fromm, Paul Fromm still to come in Canada next in our third and final hour tonight.
I could have spent the entire show all three hours with any one of these three.
What an embarrassment of riches tonight.
And they have all been entirely on point.
This kicks off a very special series throughout the month of March.
And then, of course, in April, our Confederate History Month series will run throughout that month of programming.
So between March and April, you're looking at eight consecutive weeks from now until the end of April of just very unique and informative content here on TPC.
I'm James Edwards, Keith Alexander, Drew Fraser in Australia.
And we're talking about his latest book, Reinventing Aristocracy in the Age of Woke Capital.
Now, this was published by Arctos Media, fantastic European publishing house last year, late last year, very new book, very new book.
So new, in fact, that the review of it for the Occidental Observer just was published today, as we just mentioned.
And we encourage you to read it, How to Create a New Elite by Nelson Rosett.
And I'll tell you the chapters.
There are four chapters: Aristocracy and Democracy in the Era of Reflexive Modernization, Corporations and the Economic Logic of Efficiency, Corporations and the Political Realities of Power, and Corporations and the Constitutional Genesis of Civic Authority.
There's an epilogue, The Rebel in Paradise.
I wonder who that could be.
And also a foreword by our very good friend Roger Devlin.
But there's one more thing to this book, Reinventing Aristocracy in the Age of Woke Capital.
By the way, you can find it at amazon.com.
Just type in, I don't know if my search queries on Amazon are skewed because of the kind of content I normally look for, but when I type in the name Andrew Fraser, F-R-A-S-E-R, this is the first thing that comes back to me.
And the WASP question is the second.
So I think you'll be able to find it as well.
But there is a subtitle to this book: How Honorable WASP Elites Could Rescue Our Civilization from Bad Governance by Irresponsible Corporate Plutocrats.
And that's the question to Drew now.
How could honorable WASP elites, and surely there must be some out there that are waiting to identify themselves, like have a hard time tracking them down, but how can they rescue us, Drew?
Well, in a sense, you can go what needs to happen is to go back to the origins of the American Business Corporation in the aftermath of the American Revolution.
The American Revolution was quite a radical event.
It meant that popular power was seen to be a real threat to the Yankee standing order in New England.
Okay?
So in that context, the business and professional elites and financial elites in New England really had the idea that,
okay, they might not be able to control the legislatures in Massachusetts or Connecticut or New Hampshire, but they could actually ensure the continuance of their power and influence over society through the, by using the business corporation as a vehicle.
And not just the business corporation.
I mean, educational corporations like Harvard University, religious or ecclesiastical corporations like the churches, which were organized as corporate entities as well.
And that's what they did.
So banks, insurance companies, turnpikes were established.
And the interesting thing is that these people were so influenced by their, what could you say, Puritan heritage, that they weren't just totally focused on doing well.
They also wanted to do good.
And so there was a kind of an understanding among them, among the shareholders in the corporation, that unless the corporate charter provided otherwise, the default position would be that every shareholder had An equal vote, or they were sort of staggered.
You know, you so the person, ideally, it would be on the Republican basis that the corporation body politic was a little republic, and every shareholder was a citizen of that republic, and they had equal votes.
Now, obviously, in the modern world, that isn't going to work.
But if you have a class of shareholders who do have a certain minimum stake in the corporation, so they've got something to lose, and you need to somehow counterbalance the presently irresponsible power of corporate managers.
Think of companies like the Norfolk Southern Railway, right?
I mean, would it be better to have a class of shareholders who just basically want to do good, want to essentially be an advocate for the best interests of the corporation and of the society at large, giving recognition of the fact that this corporation is really powerful.
It can do a lot of good, but it can also do a lot of damage.
That's the question here.
Should we try to organize corporate governments on Republican principles?
Yes.
This is Keith.
Let me, you know, I'm sure that all these woke activists will say, yeah, that's who we are.
We're trying to make the corporation responsible to the best interests of society.
The trouble is, their best interest of society vision is so contrary to common sense that most people just throw up their hands.
You know, you may have read some of these things about the Indian CEO virus that seems to be going on in a lot of corporations.
Yep.
Yep.
Well, you have one of those.
It's like Memphis is like the microcosm for the whole world.
FedEx had a wasp head, a guy that went to Yale, was a member of Skull and Bones, Fred Smith, an Agency.
And he got this idea.
He turned in a term paper, made a C on it in his econ class.
He decided he was going to do this.
He, you know, was flying out to FedEx out of it.
And see, but now he's had forced on him by Larry Fink of BlackRock, an Indian CEO.
Now, I don't know if the title is just ceremonial and he's picking up a paycheck and Fred Smith is really running the place.
But, you know, it seems like, you know, we're looking like the Marines were for a few good men at the time.
What I see is, for example, Ron DeSantis taking on Walt Disney Enterprises now.
You know, they're trying to force wokeness on the state of Florida, and Florida is trying to inflict common sense on them.
And he's telling them that I'm taking away all of your governmental benefits.
You won't be able to run the place.
You won't be able to control your taxes.
All this, that, and the other.
Disney had their own police and fire department.
Yeah, all of that.
He's making, he's basically daring them to pick up and run.
And if he does, he'll probably have the state take over the whole shebaying and run it with common sense.
But it's just, you know, I don't know where to turn.
So many of our elites have let us down now.
I mean, our elites have been the most traitorous.
And the ones who may believe like we, there's no shortage of millionaires and multi-millionaires and even billionaires in America, but they're hotting their candle under the bush.
So not only are they not actively out there in the fight, Drew, they're not even donating money.
Well, not only that, they're fighting against the interests of the working class and the lower middle class.
Okay, yes, that's true.
And so the problem is, how do we reinvent a ruling class that is a responsible group of people?
And I think, really, as I was saying earlier, that this really is a job that can only be done by the ethnic group, the white Anglo-Saxon Protestants who actually first invented the American Business Corporation.
If there are other ethnic groups, the Indians, the Jews, the Chinese, and so on, who do not have that tradition of Republican civic virtue.
And fair play.
Anglican.
Sorry?
And fair play.
That's right.
These are Anglo-Saxon virtues, and they need to be cultivated again.
The question is, how do we do that?
You know, that's all I'm trying to do in this book is set out the vision of the way things could be.
Now we have to figure out how to get there.
Well, I'll tell you what, we need more people like Nick Griffin in Parliament.
We need more people like Drew Fraser leading universities, and they've both been there.
And churches.
Yeah, and churches.
Yeah, that's right.
Drew, you can be in churches.
You want to lead a church or a university?
In our ethnostate, you get the pick.
But anyway.
Every cultural institution we have, from businesses to churches to universities, has gotten to be rotten at the core.
And I don't know how to correct it.
Well, here we are in media.
And I appreciate your giving us a shot at this.
It just seems like an overwhelming problem.
Talking about taking it from theory to practice, here we are in media.
Nick in the first hour has taken it to Parliament.
And Drew has been there as a professor at a major university.
And listen, folks, we're out of time.
I'm looking at the clock.
I can't believe it.
An hour with Drew Fraser already come and gone down there in Australia.
