You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Well, welcome back, everybody, to our 4th of July spectacular here on TPC.
And as we continue this evening, James Edwards and Keith Alexander, I want to pay tribute to a man who I am honored to say was a friend of mine, a friend of mine who I knew for many years and a friend of mine who really sacrificed his status and prestige within his class.
He was certainly an elite, but an elite for our side.
He was a scion of a publishing house, a multi-million dollar heir, and he gave his life to our cause.
He passed away on July the 2nd, 2021.
Of course, I'm talking about William H. Regnery II, Bill Regnery.
And we salute you tonight, Bill.
Gone, but not forgotten.
Absolutely not.
And I want to be sure to invoke the name of Bill Regnery here on this Independence Day weekend as we move on.
Yes, I do celebrate.
Now, listen, you know, it's a nuanced thing.
I don't allow the federal flag on my property.
You know my feelings.
I've said it every year for many years on this show, my feelings towards the Yankee flag.
I don't allow it on my property.
But I do celebrate the 4th of July because we would have been worse off had we not seceded.
And what I mean by that is, imagine if we were still part of Great Britain or the United Kingdom or whatever you want to call it, their restrictions on the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, we would have all gone to jail for what we did in the first hour, much less any other week.
No, I just heard Sam Dixon say recently that King George was a benevolent despot.
It said the people in the rest of Europe, like Russia, Poland, places like that, they would have thought they died and gone to heaven if they'd been living under the reign of the third rather than who they were.
I understand Sam's position on that.
But I just think if you look at the big picture, we would be worse off now in terms of we would be going to jail.
Yours truly, Sam.
Well, just look what's happening now because they don't have a First Amendment and a Second Amendment, how they're being knuckled under by the politically correct leadership over there.
They've got hate, not just hate crime laws, but hate speech.
I've been trying to get that here too, but I'm just saying we'd be a little bit, we'd be about 20 or 30 years more of this progression down the road if we had not seceded.
So I guess for that reason alone, I'm saying.
It seems more like 20 or 30 months now.
And I do wax nostalgic about the Francis Scott Key and the Star-Spangled Banner and all of that.
But we're here to dispel two myths this hour.
Is America a proposition nation?
And what did the Founding Fathers really believe?
I guess that's not, the second one's not a myth, but people do say we're a proposition nation.
By the very definition of a nation, of course, we are not.
And by our own founding documents, we are not.
What is a nation?
Well, it's not defined by political boundaries, but by its people.
The Oxford Dictionaries define a nation as a large aggregate of people united by a common descent, history, culture, or language inhabiting a particular country or territory.
Merriam-Webster's etymology emphasizes birth or common descent.
Now, here are standard definitions for proposition, something offered for consideration or acceptance, a theorem or a problem to be demonstrated or performed.
As Charles Tallis for American Renaissance wrote some years ago, and I quote, it's hardly encouraging to think of one's nation as something offered for consideration or a problem.
As a practical matter, the contemporary meaning would be a nation defined by ideology or legal doctrine rather than by race, ancestry, religion, and culture.
A proposition nation, therefore, has none of the elements that traditionally are required for people to be considered a nation.
So the term itself, proposition nation, is a contradiction.
Now, I'll say this.
What attracts people to the idea of a propositional nation is its rejection of the true meaning of nation, common blood, common descent, common culture.
Whites.
Blood and soil.
And only whites, by the way, believe that rejecting these things is enlightened, progressive, and virtuous.
But here's the rub.
No proposition can hold together a nation with stark racial, ethnic, cultural, or religious differences.
Such diverse nations are kept together with constant propaganda, as we see now.
Ethnic bribery, coercion, and even force.
Propositions aren't ties that binds folks.
Blood and soil, you mentioned it, Keith.
Blood and soil are.
Proposition nation, I don't think so.
It was never true.
Remember when we met with the reporter from Desire?
You bring that up about every time.
Well, whenever I can, because I remember he said, well, you know, you all are a proposition nation, and basically you just have to subscribe to a certain set of beliefs to be a good American.
And then when a black panhandler in Dan Tad Memphis came up to him, he started running and hunting.
Well, here's what happened.
We said, no, that's not at all.
I said, there's no such thing as a proposition nation.
That's a figment of some Jewish neocons imagination, which it basically was.
That's the source of it.
They didn't want to be identified with a nation that had a religious identity, Christianity, or a racial identity, Anglo-Saxonism.
They wanted it to be freewheeling and based on ascribing to certain opinions and certain principles and values, which they reserved the right to define.
Well, we told this reporter, that's a bunch of baloney.
I said, there's no nation worthy of the name that's not a blood and soil nation.
And he seemed a little puzzled.
Then he went to Confederate Park and he found out that the people that were using force to make people knuckle under to their ideas were blacks in Memphis, not whites.
We had a couple of white working class guys that tried to raise a Confederate flag in what was then Confederate Park, and all these black panhandlers and bums attacked them.
And he saw that, and he went back to Germany with a different story than the one he was sent out there to get.
And quite frankly, I never saw any report about his trip over here or anything else.
In fact, I imagine he disappeared into the penumbras or ethers of German journalism after that because I've never heard of him since then.
But see, that's it.
A proposition nation is an invention, and it's a Jewish invention.
It started somewhat in the 50s during the civil rights movement.
It really started to gain traction.
And first, I want to say, I want to interrupt my friend to tell you that we will prove that to you before the end of this hour.
So stay tuned.
We're only beginning our treatment on the idea of a proposition nation, and we're going to tell you exactly from their own words what the founding fathers really believed.
Go, Keith.
And remember what the Bible says for subtle situations.
Do not be deceived.
You shall know them by their fruits.
Can a good tree bring forth corrupt fruit?
Can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit?
Therefore, by their fruits, you shall know them.
If the proposition nation notion comes from Jewish power and influence, is that going to be corrupt fruit or good fruit?
It's going to be corrupt fruit each and every time, ladies and gentlemen.
Don't buy into that.
The idea that basically you have to just swear allegiance to certain principles and you're a good American.
No, we're a blood and soil nation, just like Poland is, just like England is, just like Russia is, just like Ukraine is.
And we're not just saying that.
Because we feel that way.
We're going to give you all the facts.
We're going to give you the facts before the end of this hour from our own founding document and from the Founding Fathers' own writings.
I mean, this is going to be an hour that you won't forget and an hour that is particularly suited.
Take notes.
This is how you take on these people.
Never concede that we have a proposition nation because if you did, all is lost.
All right.
And we're going to prove it to you.
This is going to be an hour that is particularly suited for Independence Day as we continue on tonight.
Stay tuned.

Welcome back!
Our 4th of July extravaganza rolls on.
And those who want to rewrite American history love to trot out Thomas Jefferson's phrase, all men are created equal, while completely ignoring the purpose of the Declaration.
It is a detailed list of 28 grievances that justify separation from Britain.
Now, in this context, of course, all men are created equal, asserts that the colonists are equal to the British crown and have the right to sever ties.
Jefferson and the signers are announcing that they are dealing with the king as equals, not suggesting that all human beings are biologically equal.
And has often been pointed out, the Declaration itself does not treat American Indians as equal.
Quote, he, talking about the king, has excited domestic insurrections amongst us and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions, end quote.
Now, it's also well known that the United States Naturalization Law of 1790, passed by the very first Congress, was explicit in its inegalitarian conception of American citizenship, which it limited to, quote, free white persons of good character, end quote, Indians, white indentured servants even, slaves, free blacks, and later Asians, they were all excluded.
In 1787, in the second of the Federalist Papers, John Jay gave thanks that, quote, Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people, a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, end quote.
This is not a celebration.
There's a lot of band of brothers in that thing, too.
This is not a celebration of a proposition nation, getting back to the original question of this hour, but a traditional nation, a real nation, based on common blood.
Yes.
It is absurd to claim that the founders established the country for all humanity or for all races or for all people.
We are the only people who could be tricked into suicide of this kind.
Belief in this proposition is self-inflicted genocide.
The whole proposition nation is a fraud.
We have to remain dominant in our ancestral lands.
Now, this is Charles Talus of American Renaissance.
The idea as a proposition is promoted by revisionists who pervert the history of the founding fathers.
Nine of the first 11 presidents were slaveholders, and the contemporary views of racial equality didn't take root until well into the 20th century, Keith.
Well, what this is, this is an idea, this proposition nation and this idea that somehow America was meant to be different from all other nations and a refuge for everybody.
You know, like Emma Lazarus' famous poem that is excerpted at the base of the Statue of Liberty, give us a retired huddled masses, all that.
That was Jewish power and influence of the day trying to rationalize their existence in America and their intended leadership of America.
We are a nation just like every other nation.
We're a nation like the British, like the French, like the people in Tripoli or whatnot, wherever, people in Turkey.
Everybody has a blood and soil nation.
If you don't have a blood and soil nation, it's like Ann Coulter said about Yugoslavia and about diverse societies everywhere.
He said, where in the world has racial diversity existed in a nation where it has not been an acute problem, a real problem, a big problem.
That's what it was.
And those type of nations like Yugoslavia, like the Ottoman Empire, all tend to break apart.
And that is possibly going to be the future of America unless we basically get people back to what America used to be, which is a nation founded on Anglo-Saxon government principles and values.
As long as we had that, America worked pretty well.
When we started departing from that right after World War II, that's when America started to fall apart.
Now, so we're not a proposition nation.
All right, we're not.
No nation is.
No real nation is.
No nation that lasts and stands a test of time is a proposition.
But what did the founding fathers really believe?
Now, Jared Taylor wrote the magnum opus on this.
It is a short treatment, but it is power-packed and indisputable.
He uses their own words.
He actually wrote it for Radick's journal, I don't know, maybe a decade or so ago.
This is the hidden history.
This is the history that people never advertise, at least the people in charge of writing history books, of setting the curriculum in your children's schools.
They never mentioned this, but this is as real as it gets, Love.
We're going to read through this a little bit here, and we're going to give you some facts, and we're going to get to as much of it as we can.
So this is what Jared writes.
Prominent conservatives have taken on this notion that today's radical egalitarianism was the nation's goal from its very founding days, but they are badly mistaken.
Since early colonial times and until just a few decades ago, virtually all whites believed that race was a fundamental aspect of individual and group identity.
They believed that people of different races had different temperaments and abilities, which of course they do, and built markedly different societies, which of course they do.
They believe that only people of European stock can maintain a society in which they wish to live, and they strongly oppose miscegenation.
Thomas Jefferson's views were typical of his generation.
Despite what he wrote in the Declaration, that he did not, despite what he wrote in the Declaration about all men being equal, again, we established that that was about the colonists standing vis-a-vis King George.
He did not think that blacks were equal to whites.
He did not think that blacks were equal to whites, noting that, quote, in general, their existence appears to participate more of sensation than reflection, end quote.
He hoped slavery would be abolished someday, but quote, when freed, they should be removed beyond the reach of mixture, end quote.
Jefferson also expected whites to eventually displace all of the Indians of the New World.
The United States, he wrote, was to be, quote, the nest from which all America, North and South, is to be peopled, end quote.
And that the hemisphere was to be entirely European.
Quote, nor can we contemplate with satisfaction either blot or mixture on that surface.
So there you have it.
I mean, this whole thing that all men are created equal, this is what all of the progressives, so-called progressives, the woke, the left, and a lot of Normi cons and mainstream conservatives say, well, all men are created equal.
Yeah, that's our founding.
But he was not talking about that.
This is what he talks about race.
What he was talking about was a brother's quarrel with the king.
Right.
All men who are created equal meant that American colonists were the equal of English citizens, okay?
And he says very clearly that he doesn't mean in many other writings, not perhaps the Declaration, but in many of his other writings.
Nobody would have thought that at the time.
Nobody thought that.
In Africa, pygmies and Zulus did not think that they were all equal, okay?
Nowhere in the world did people, common sense people, arrive at that conclusion.
That is a fantasy of the left that has been enforced upon us and beaten into our heads and in the heads of our children.
And it's time to revolt against that.
We need to understand that our founding fathers didn't even consider this worthy of debate.
This was pure common sense.
The lowest person in society, as well as the highest, ascribed to this idea.
Now, we're going to give Keith them, the audience, more examples of what the Founding Fathers wrote about race, flat-out race.
You just heard from Thomas Jefferson over the course of the remainder of this hour.
How about James Madison?
James Madison agreed with Jefferson that the only solution to the race problem was to free the slaves and then expel them.
James Madison wrote, quote, to be consistent with existing and probably unalterable prejudices in the U.S., freed blacks ought to be permanently removed beyond the region occupied by or allotted to a white population, end quote.
So here are you.
You already have Thomas Jefferson and James Madison weighing in.
Benjamin Franklin didn't write a lot about race, but he did write this, quote, The number of purely white people in the world is proportionately very small.
I wish their numbers were increased, but perhaps I'm partial to the complexion of my country, for such kind of partiality is natural to mankind.
Franklin therefore opposed bringing more blacks to the United States by writing, why increase the sons of Africa by planting them in America?
So here you have now already three prominent founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin.
Well, it's quite obvious.
Black people like this idea of all men being created equal because they want to be bailed out.
But a lot of white conservatives, though, say, oh, you know, we're even our friends still.
Martin Luther King was a Marxist.
He was an anti-white partisan.
I agree with the whole thing.
You know, judge us by our merit, judge us by the content of our character.
But he didn't believe that.
No, he didn't believe that.
Those are expedient comments that he made in order not to rile up the white people at the time.
But he didn't believe that.
He was all for affirmative action.
He was all for reparations.
He was all for set-asides.
And that came out in his speeches and in his writings before his death.
And we can certainly agree with that one comment.
If you take one comment out of context, we can say we agree with it, but to say that he was a champion of conservative thoughts.
You say here in the South, even a blind hog will find out every once in a while.
Well, that's what he did.
Well, what we're talking about here this hour is: are we a proposition nation?
I think we've already answered that.
And what did the founding fathers really believe?
We've covered Jefferson, Madison, not covered, we've mentioned just a little bit.
Jefferson, Madison, Benjamin Franklin.
We've got more.
Hey, we're on the side of the angels here.
Stay tuned.

Donald Trump is telling supporters he was within his rights to have classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office in 2021.
In other words, whatever documents a president decides to take with him, he has the absolute right to do so.
That's the law, and it couldn't be more clear.
I don't think it could be more clear than that.
A crowd in the thousands descended on a small town in South Carolina Saturday for the rally and an Independence Day celebration.
Speaking of which, if you're lighting up for the 4th of July, you're not alone.
Retail sales of fireworks across the USA will top $2.4 billion this year, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association.

A new state law took effect on Saturday in Florida that limits transgender access to bathrooms and locker rooms.
The law makes it a crime for someone to use restrooms or locker rooms that don't align with their sex at birth.
It applies to publicly owned educational buildings in Florida, as well as government buildings, correctional institutions, and all school changing facilities.

If you want to find reasons to celebrate the 4th of July, look no further than what the Founding Fathers wrote.
You'll find that they were certainly our countrymen, I mean, to say the least, but they were certainly fellow travelers as well with regards to.
They had opinions that were founded upon common sense and not pipe dreams.
So we've already talked about, look, we're not a propositional nation.
We never were.
We've talked about the racial beliefs of Thomas Jefferson, the author of our Declaration, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin.
How about John Dickinson?
Now, you might not know that's not a name that is as familiar as the other three, but he was a Delaware delegate to the Constitutional Convention.
And he was very prominent among the founding fathers when their own councils.
Exactly.
Thank you, Keith.
And he wrote so effectively in favor of independence that he is known as the pinman of the revolution.
Now, as was common in his time, he believed that homogeneity, not diversity, was the Republic's greatest strength.
This is what John Dickinson wrote.
Where was there ever a confederacy of republics united as these states are, or in which the people were so drawn together by religion, blood, language, manner, and customs?
Now, does that sound like he was a guy that believed we were bounded together by this idea of universal equality?
Nope.
Doesn't sound like the coalition of the others.
No.
Dickinson's views were echoed in the second of the Federalist Papers, in which John Jay gave thanks that, quote, Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people, end quote.
A people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs.
We just mentioned that earlier.
After the Constitution was ratified in 1788, Americans had to decide who they would allow to become part of their new country.
The very first citizenship law passed in 1790, and we've already referred to it once tonight, previously, specified that only, quote, free white persons, end quote, could be naturalized.
And immigration laws designed to keep the country overwhelmingly white were repealed only in 1965, Keith.
Take that, Michelle Bachmann and Glenn Beck and all these others that tell you that somehow America was meant to be a proposition nation.
It was not.
That's out of the words and from the pens of the actual people that founded our nation.
And fought to make it an independent nation.
Yeah, you have to basically stand up.
As I used to say when I was in the Boy Scouts, you have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
And another one of Thomas Jefferson's comments that I think is pertinent on this is that people who beat their swords into plowshares will soon be plowing for those who don't.
Okay?
Let's talk about Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln would have been described as a white supremacist had he been alive today and had the same beliefs that every one of the founding fathers, every president up to John F. Kennedy would have been.
That's right.
Well, you know, Lincoln, had it not been for this carefully cultivated mythology of Lincoln, I mean, Lincoln was right on certain things.
That was a product of people after his death that wanted to turn him into a hero.
Well, this is what Lincoln said in his own words.
Let's let Lincoln speak for himself.
He considered blacks to be, and I quote, a troublesome presence, end quote, in the United States.
During the Lincoln-Douglas debates, he stated this, and I quote again, I am not, this is Abraham Lincoln speaking, who I emancipated.
I have no affection for, to say the least.
I am not, nor have I ever been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, this is his words, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.
And I will say in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.
Now, I don't see that in any of the fanciful Lincoln mythology that we are presented with today.
I never see his own words actually mentioned.
Yeah, I doubt that that would really go over well at an NAACP meeting today.
Well, Lincoln opposed the expansion of slavery outside of the South.
Now, he was not an abolitionist.
He made war on the Confederacy to preserve the Union, but he would have accepted Southern slavery as he explicitly stated in perpetuity if that would have kept the South from seceding.
Now, again, we mentioned this with Steve King earlier.
The only question was either there was only two things that could have come from that.
Either, number one, the war wasn't all about slavery or the South didn't believe him.
And I don't know which one that was.
Well, let me tell you, what Lincoln really wanted was to keep the American South in its status as an agricultural colony of the North.
He wanted us to pay all the taxes and to provide money for internal improvements in the North.
All those railroads that you heard over, that you saw on your Monopoly Board, the Baltimore and Ohio, the B ⁇ O, the Reading Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad, Grand Trunk Railroad, all these things were made with federal assistance.
None of the record, in the South, our railroads were our wide, slow-moving rivers.
Like I told Steve King, there was only one major Eastwest Railroad in the Confederacy at the beginning of the Civil War, and that was the Memphis to Charleston Railroad.
And that was made entirely from private funds, no federal assist.
That's why the South felt that their cow was being melted through the fence by the North, and they thought that was an intolerable situation.
They did not want to be an agricultural colony of the North.
And Abraham Lincoln knew that without being able to get the South and their money to finance all this, he couldn't expand the country and interconnect it the way that he wanted to.
And that's why he fought the Civil War.
Basically, for the first two years of the war, the last thing that he wanted to talk about was freeing the slaves.
He called on August the 14th, 1862, a White House meeting of all the black leaders of America at the time to convince them that they needed to talk their people into moving out of the United States after they were freed.
He wanted to free them, but then he wanted them out of the United States.
That does not sound like the great emancipator myth that we've all heard through other years.
Now, we've just mentioned Lincoln speaking from his own words and his own mind about race, but what about his opponent, Stephen Douglas, in that historical debate?
He was even more outspoken about racially.
He enforced the senatorial position in Illinois, one of the two senators positions.
Thank you, Keith.
This is what Stephen Douglas said during the 1850s.
For one, I am opposed to Negro citizenship in any form.
I believe that this government was made on the white basis.
I believe it was made by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever.
And I'm in favor of confining the citizenship to white men, men of European birth and European descent, instead of conferring it upon Negroes and Indians and the inferior races.
This is, again, I'm quoting directly from Stephen Douglas, and we're not going to edit anything here.
But this is interesting.
It wasn't just that all of the founding fathers and even the so-called great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln.
But Stephen Douglas, but the media.
This was covered, the Stephen Douglas.
Listen to this.
This is great.
The Abraham Lincoln, the Lincoln-Douglas debate was covered by the Chicago Times-Daily, which was a Democratic newspaper.
And the Chicago Times-Daily, after quoting that particular passage I just read from Douglas during the Lincoln-Douglas debates, there was an editorial insert added to the article.
Parenthetical insert added by the editorial staff of the then Chicago Daily Times that reads, good for you, Douglas forever.
So even the media, Keith, as late as the 1860s, 1850s.
The truth of the matter is Lincoln's opinion and his public pronouncement changed dramatically on January the 1st, 1863.
Up until then, he did everything he could to distance himself from the idea that the war was about freeing slaves.
But then, by 1863, it became apparent to him, as it was apparent to the leaders of the Confederacy, that the only way the Confederacy was going to win the war was the way that the Revolution, the American Patriots in the American Revolution won their war, and that was by enlisting a major European power to join them, to become their ally.
For example, the French Navy didn't fire a shot at Yorktown, but their presence outside of Yorktown prevented the English Navy from coming to rescue Lord Cornwallis and his British troops, and that's what led to his ultimate surrender.
The South knew that their most likely candidate as an ally among the powers of Europe at the time was going to be England because they were the main user of southern agricultural products like cotton, indigo, things like that, tobacco.
So they thought that that would be the great potential ally that would break and join the South and help the South win the war.
Well, Lincoln was a master strategist, if nothing else.
He said, I know that England is very unique.
They're the only nation in the world that has legislatively abolished slavery.
It was done in 1833 in Parliament under the leadership of William Wilberforce.
Well, that was only 30 years earlier than 1863.
30 years earlier than today would be 1993.
That doesn't seem like a long time ago to me.
But let me tell you, because of that, Lincoln surmised correctly that if he made the war a crusade to end slavery, then there would be enough fellow travelers in England who took pride in being part of the abolition movement that they would resist England joining the Confederacy and that would torpedo and sabotage that thought.
That's why he did the Emancipation Proclamation and everything else so that he could sway public opinion in England.
Was America a proposition nation?
What did the founding fathers really believe?
We're answering those questions this hour.
One more segment to go.
Stay tuned.

Matthew 24, 24 teaches us that the church is deceived today.
Around 1900, Jews commissioned the Schofield Reference Bible, which transformed the Jews from Christian killers to the chosen people.
Here's the truth.
America is in the Bible, Revelation 21.
Our form of government came down from heaven.
Verse 3.
The many Christian ministers at the Constitutional Convention sought God's will.
The God-given rights in the Constitution were ordained by God.
America is the new promised land for Christian Israel, and Christians are the true chosen people.
True Israel is Christian.
Listen to Jesus.
Quote, my sheep follow me, unquote.
And quote, you do not believe because you are not my sheep, unquote.
John 10, 25 through 27.
The beast has transformed America into the woman mystery Babylon.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light?
So who's brought stripes and
gallantly streaming, and the rocket's runs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Or saints, that star spangled, then get away.
Well, we may still be the home of the brave.
I don't know so much about the land of the free anymore, but I'll tell you you could still get behind the original flag if you read the thoughts of the founding fathers.
The ones that really crafted our documents, founding documents and led the nation, were unsurprisingly Southerners people like James Madison, George Mason, George Washington.
Well, they certainly didn't back around back racial issues and sharing their thoughts.
Everybody, really throughout the nation, was of one mind when it came to racial issues back then.
Now let's get on.
It's only a three-hour show, but I could go on forever, proving to you that the record from colonial times to the end of the war between the states is one of starkly inegalitarian views.
In fact, it would be very hard to find a prominent American who spoke about race in today's terms and going back to Jared Taylor's most excellent treatment of what the founding fathers really believed, which he produced for Radix Journal many, many years ago.
And he writes, even if we restrict the field to American presidents, a group notoriously disinclined to say anything controversial, we find that Jefferson and Lincoln's thinking of race continued well into the modern era.
Here's James Garfield.
James Garfield wrote late 19th century president of the United States, I have a strong feeling of repugnance when I think of the Negro being made our political equal and I would be glad if they could be colonized, sent to heaven or got rid of in any decent way now.
Now, listen.
That's president James Garfield Garfield speaking.
That's a president of the United States.
We're called white supremacists anyway.
So, I mean, that's the, I guess that was a joke.
Well, look, you know, this is that gives a lie to the Michelle Bachman-Glenn Beck view of our what other generations, prior generations, thought they were not on board with the Jewish conceived notion of racial egalitarianism that rules today.
Theodore Roosevelt wrote in 1901 that he had, quote, not been able to think out any solution to the terrible problem offered by the presence of the Negro on this continent, end quote.
Now, I'm quoting the Founding Fathers.
If you got a problem with that, you're at the SBLC.
And I would like to welcome, as we do every week, all of the listeners tonight from the ASBLC, the ADL, the FBI, the CIA.
You got a problem with that.
Take it up with Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln and James Madison and all the rest.
Woodrow Wilson was a confirmed segregationist, and as president of Princeton, he refused to admit blacks.
Warren Harding wanted the races separate.
He said, quote, men of both races, white and black, may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality.
This is not a question of social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal, inescapable difference, racial amalgamation.
There cannot be, end quote.
This is Warren Harding, Keith.
The president in the early 1920s just succeeded the Wilson administration.
This is what the first, you know, our government.
Forget the late 1700s, 1800s.
We're in the early 1900s now.
And here is Vice President-elect Calvin Coolidge in 1921.
First one, 24.
Well, but he was the vice president first, then became the president, yes.
But he wrote in Good Housekeeping magazine, I mean, can you imagine, about the basis for sound immigration policy.
This is what Calvin Coolidge wrote.
And I quote.
Supposedly a liberal New Englander, by the way.
There are racial considerations too grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons.
Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend.
Quality of mind and body suggests that observance of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation as immigration law, end quote.
How about Harry Truman?
Now here we are into the 1950s.
He's after World War II.
Harry Truman wrote, quote, I am strongly of the opinion that Negroes ought to be in Africa, yellow men in Asia, and white men in Europe and America.
This is the 1950s, end quote.
He also referred to blacks on the White House staff as, I can't even tell you what he took off that because it's just an army of C words.
All right, just go ahead and tell them.
Army of coons is what he said, right?
All right, that's what he said.
As recent a president as Dwight Eisenhower argued that although it might be necessary to grant blacks certain political rights, this did not mean social equality or, quote, that a Negro should court my daughter, end quote.
It is only with John Kennedy that we finally find a president whose conception of race even begins to flirt with acceptable, to be acceptable by today's standards.
So again, today's egalitarians are therefore racial dissenters from traditional American thinking all the way up to the 1960s.
I can tell you that Americans and America's leadership fought like they did.
They are flat out lying.
And where you're woke, progressive or a conservative who was cucked, a conception of America as a nation of people with common values, culture, and heritage.
Yes, race is far more faithful to the vision of the founders.
So I am glad to stand with the founders all the way up to Dwight Eisenhower, who.
I'll take any of those presidents over Joe Biden any day.
Well, I mean, look at what they wrote.
I mean, we're using their own words here.
And I didn't know that.
Also, look at how successful America was under them and what a joke we are to the rest of the world under the current administration.
All right, so Keith, the main topics of this hour were to answer two questions.
Is America a proposition nation and what did the Founding Fathers really believe?
These are two topics, two questions we certainly wanted to cover on this Independence Day weekend.
And the traditional answer is no and no.
Well, I mean, what the Founding Fathers really believed, that the answer came from.
No, the Founding Fathers did not believe what Michelle Bachman, Glenn Beck, and all the people on the left tell you they believed.
They are lying to you, pure and simple.
They may be young.
I think ignorance or lying out of mendacity.
Either way, they're wrong.
You think we did a pretty good job of giving the audience some ammunition?
And you know, one of our listeners in Virginia writes that he uses the ammunition that he gets from TPC in conversation with his colleagues and with his family.
We actually posted a collection, an assortment of 10 testimonials to our website, also to our email list, just a couple of days ago.
It was wonderful stuff.
Listen, and that only even begins to scratch the surface of the amount of correspondence we received to that end.
And Keith, you wanted to say something, a note of affection or a word of affection to our audience tonight.
We had a, listen, it's been a tough year.
It's been a tough year with the Biden economy.
We've had some problems.
A lot of our regular donors are saying, listen, I'm too pinched at the gas bump and at the grocery store, all the rising cost of goods and services to donate.
But we had a very, very, very, very good week this week to shore us up for the second quarter.
And I want to thank God first and our audience very close second for that.
And our godly audience, let's put it that way.
We have people who are the salt of the earth, and they listen to us, and we're very gratified that they find what we're saying edifying.
This is important to us.
I think we fill an important niche.
We're pro-Southern, pro-white, and pro-Christian.
And we don't shrink from any of those positions.
And I think there is a big audience for that out there.
Quite frankly, if we were on major media, I think we would knock Clay and Buck and people like this out of the water.
But of course, we're doing this on a shoestring, and you're the ones that provide us with the shoestrings, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank God for you.
Thank heaven for our audience.
Without you, there would be no political self school.
Well, that's right.
And we're thankful to have the opportunity to come here and speak the truth in this age of lies.
I mean, but the truth is, and again, we go back to our friend Brad Griffin here, who wrote some years ago, all you have to do is find the best of the best and quote them, and you've got a good show.
We've done that tonight with Jared Taylor, Brad Griffin, and Charles Callas of Steve King.
Steve was great.
Yes, absolutely.
But there were no women.
There were no people of color.
There were no transgenders who signed the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.
I'll correct that regarding women.
Wait until the third hour, folks.
Well, we got some good women, but I'm just saying that they didn't sign the Declaration of Independence.
It was only white men.
Blacks were covered in the Constitution by the Fugitive Slave Clause and the Three-Fifths Compromise.
They didn't gain citizenship until 1866.
I remember when Sam Francis lost weight dramatically, and he said now he has empathy with black people because he now knows what it feels like to be three-fifths of a man.
He'd lost so much weight.
There were no trans people or LGBTQ who signed the Declaration or Independent or the Constitution.
So if you want a reason to go shoot off fireworks, there you go.
The United States was created by white males.
It wasn't just white people who created the America, America, and who fought.
They died and benefit from it, but do not usurp the position of white males.
Well, they were the ones.
Founding and the development of the United States.
They created it.
They fought and died for it.
It was overwhelmingly.
And by the way, not just white, but Anglo-Saxon Americans, Americans of British ancestry.
The founding fathers created a white republic in the Constitution.
It's by their founding documents, their founding laws, their founding writings that shaped who could become an American citizen until the 1960s.
American citizenship was based upon whiteness, regardless of how you feel about America.
It's unquestionable that that's a fact.
It was our creation.
And there's other things going on in the world today.
I would have loved to have mentioned.
Bolzonaro was found guilty in Brazil.
He can't run again for eight years.
There's racial riots in France.
We would have covered this normally.
But tonight's the 4th of July.
The heel of tyranny is descending upon good people everywhere.
And we will fight rhetorically against this at every opportunity.
We will speak for the truth.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you, members of our listening audience, who supported us during our second quarter fundraising drive, which just ended yesterday.
If you're listening live, we love you.
You got some great gifts coming if you haven't received them already.
We still got another hour to go, if you can believe it.
It feels like we've put into full night's work already.
Steve King, this hour tonight, this was a pretty good hour.
Saving the best for last.
