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, we're back for our third and final hour, if you can believe it.
It has gone by too quickly.
I say that every show, but I certainly mean it when we're in the upcountry of South Carolina with so many invited friends, family, and guests.
These are shows that certainly mark the annual broadcast calendar and the beautiful and talented.
She's not coming on tonight.
She's going to come on next time.
Dixie O'Hara has been in the wings all night tonight.
You've heard from so many incredible people.
I talked earlier tonight about how these shows get such a reaction from the listening audience.
And I saved a couple of the emails that we received last year.
No, I'm not going to.
He's shaking his head already.
Actually, who is with us right now is Hunter.
Now, the first time, every time we've done a show at Dixie Republic, Hunter has been a mainstay.
We've never done a show from here that Hunter has not appeared.
And of course, you famously remember the first time he came on, Sight Unseen, he received two marriage proposals.
Now, if they had seen you, Hunter, you'd have received 10.
But this is feedback from last year's show at Dixie Fest 366 days ago.
No, no, 364 days ago was July the 9th last year, July the 8th this year.
364 years ago today, I received two emails.
Number one, well, I received many, but I'm going to read two.
James, I was so inspired and encouraged by Saturday's broadcast from South Carolina.
Those jolly boys, I declare.
That was a listener in Tennessee.
Bless your heart, as she put it.
And then this one.
And this meant a lot to me because you shared this story with me and it meant a lot at the time.
The story that one of your guests in South Carolina shared, he's talking about you, Hunter, about how he bonded with his father by listening to your show on the radio was so sweet.
The female guest who appeared was also perfect on the radio.
You mean a lot to a lot of people and have built such a legacy.
We had a chance to spend a little bit of time with you and your father yesterday at the Confederate Museum of the Upcountry.
And it's always an honor to talk to you, my friend.
It's always an honor to have you on when we're up here in South Carolina.
Yeah, thanks for having me on.
What a day.
What a weekend.
What a day.
What a day.
They can't do anything about this, though, can they?
No, they cannot.
They cannot.
I was just outside having some high-minded conversation with people out there.
And really, that's not going on anywhere else in public like it is here.
And I'm very happy for that and grateful for it.
And what a day.
I'm tired, man.
I've been out here since like 7 a.m.
And it's been hot.
It's been typical.
We opened the show with that.
Everybody who's a regular listener knows how much I complain about southern humidity and southern summers.
We were built for northern European climates.
We've been here for 400 years.
It hadn't quite taken yet.
But I have sweated through my clothes all day.
And as much as I despise this wretched sub-Saharan subtropical weather, I have enjoyed every minute of today.
I'd like to think that I've adapted to the southern climate pretty well, but after a long day in the heat like that, it's like, wow, he wants me to go talk.
We'll see how good I am.
All right.
Well, let's talk about with three minutes remaining this segment, Hunter.
My friend, you're on with us every time we're in South Carolina, and I want that tradition to remain.
What have we seen today?
What have we done?
What have we done this weekend?
What would you share with the listening audience who has not been privileged to share this company?
What have they missed?
Well, a good time.
They've missed a really good time.
And what's happened here today is we have occupied a physical space.
And that's what Christ said.
He said, occupy until I come.
And what's going on here and now is a physical occupation of a place that has a ripple effect outward.
And I see it when I'm out and about.
I mean, I see people wearing the clothes.
I see people talking the talk.
And it's palpable.
The sort of people that come here, all ages, very family-friendly.
A lot of kids.
It was almost, I said this, I believe in the first hour, heartbreaking in a sense.
I saw two young brothers, and I'm talking about young, like toddler age, who were cotton top, platinum blonde.
It reminded me so much of myself and my brother at that time.
They were wearing literally overalls only.
I think they're still out there.
One of them had the one strap going on.
But we've met so many people today of all ages, all the way up to advanced senior citizens to toddlers and even infants.
Our people have come together.
Our people have come together.
They always come together here at this event.
And it's not affiliated.
We said this earlier, not affiliated with any particular group necessarily, but it is people from the community.
And they feel comfortable and confident in coming because other people are doing it.
It gives them encouragement.
Right.
It's really a moralizing event, I would think.
Every soldier needs, you don't want to send your troops into battle entirely demoralized.
We're going to lose everything stacked against us.
But when you come to an event like this, you see several hundred throughout the course of the day, several hundred, maybe even in the low thousands that have come and gone throughout the day, who are all happy.
They are encouraged.
They are motivated.
It gives us the propulsion to carry on.
I mean, this is something that I come to for fuel.
Yep, and we're really glad that you come because you certainly add to it, man.
And yeah, like I was saying, I mean, you can go out and about, and how many empty conversations do you have with people in your everyday life where you go just talking about the weather or and that's okay to talk about the small things, but what are we talking about here this weekend?
A lot of different things.
We're solving the world's problems here, James.
We're talking about faith.
We're talking about kith and kin and race and culture and heroes and traditions.
And it is so encouraging to see people from just the local community, people driving down the highway, seeing that there's an event, and they don't feel embarrassed or ashamed to come to it.
No.
And in fact, most of the people here are local people.
I mean, they're all from five or ten miles around.
Courage is contagious, and so is cowardice.
And we're going to show them courage.
Exactly.
Hoorah.
But do you believe that that's the case?
Because you're seeing people that, again, not affiliate.
They don't know the political stuff.
They don't know the political.
Just to kind of explain it, like we're in the upstate of South Carolina.
Trump just had a rally here in Pickens, which is in the upstate.
You were there?
I was there.
Was it?
Really energizing.
Really energizing.
A lot of people.
Hadn't been around that many people before.
And what people were talking about and the proverbial Overton window definitely has been shifted.
I've heard a lot of things.
They're waiting for that leader to step into the board.
And harness that energy.
White people.
And the thing that Trump said, and he's the best we've had.
I mean, I'm not going to lie about that.
He has certainly done a lot to radicalize.
The populace, and we are better off now than we were without Trump.
But they are waiting for that moment.
And if that moment and if that leader comes, they're ready.
They are.
You got 30 seconds on it.
Okay.
And I just want to say, hey, y'all, you're in the backcountry of South Carolina up here in the upstate.
Well, the resistance has always been.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
This is we're here and we'll always be here.
Hey, amen to that.
Ladies and gentlemen, give Hunter a big round of applause.

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.
Revelation chapter 17.

Ladies and gentlemen, three hours is just not enough.
If y'all keep this up, we may stay here all night long, but three hours is only going to scratch the surface of the talent.
The spirit that we have here assembled tonight in the upcountry of South Carolina.
Sam Bushman, who you've already heard from in tonight's second hour, just gave me a belt that he had custom-made here this evening.
There's a leather shop and a gunsmith on location here.
And his belt says 1776.
And then there's a Confederate flag.
I was wondering if he should have said 1861 with the Confederate flag.
1861 didn't go well.
1766 went better, my friend.
If you win, you're a patriot.
If you lose, you're a traitor.
But in any event, we love 1776.
We love 1861.
We certainly love the Confederate flag.
And then there's a couple of cross pistols and some belt notches, and you won't need those.
Get your belt made, too.
Say it, Sam.
The point is, you can get your belt made to it, Dixie Republic, baby.
And you paid for that.
Yes, sir.
Johnny Rebel, our leathersmith here.
Nation too.
Above and beyond.
Yes, I did.
All right.
Well, that's the way Sam Bushman does it.
Now we've got another Sam.
It's been confusing this weekend because we've been together since Thursday.
We've got Sam and Sam, Dixon and Bushman, Bushman and Dixon.
But Sam, we've had a great time now, you know, the affinity that I have for you.
But this is just another chapter in that legacy.
We've been together since Thursday evening.
This is now Saturday evening, so about 48 hours, and it's been non-stop.
What have we seen this weekend?
Well, I've been very impressed.
I had no idea that the rebel shop here, that the way to the, you got to go all the way to the mouth.
I had no idea this enterprise here was of the scope.
The cracker barrel of the South.
It is just fantastic.
It's just room after room after room.
It just goes on and on and on.
And the people have been fantastic.
It's nice to be around real Southerners.
My father's family come from this area of South Carolina.
The upcountry in South Carolina has always been the best area of the state in terms of fighting for the survival of our race and our state and our state.
I feel like a South Carolinian.
Well, your whole family was from here.
You're a second generation Georgian?
The first generation born outside the South, outside of South Carolina.
But it's just been fantastic.
And meeting all these wonderful, inspiring people and listening to Michael Hill.
And it's just been a tremendous lift to morale.
And I'm impressed with all these people who have done.
They have worked for the Revolution.
I just talk occasionally.
Bull.
Bull.
I got to call Bull on that, Sam.
No, no, these people actually worked for the Revolution.
You've sacrificed more than 99% of our people.
That's not saying much because most of our people haven't sacrificed their damn thing.
But, you know, a little bit of history.
You know, we heard Hunter talk about the Trump rally in Pickens.
It was in Pickens where the campaign of redemption began in 1878 with General Hampton to restore control of South Carolina to the white community.
And it was a tremendous event then.
I've read the figures are hard to establish, but they say that 50,000 white people came from around the state to the initial rally, which is held here because it was the only place they could have a safe rally.
Because just like with the Antifa today, the union leagues were armed and were allowed to attack people if they tried to resist the Reconstruction government.
But it opened with a tremendous event.
The daughter of the governor, Dushka Pickens, led Hampton out onto the field as night was falling in this amphitheater, National Amphitheater.
And she was carrying something, and when she got out in the field, she unfurled it.
It was a giant Confederate battle flag, which was illegal in South Carolina at the time.
It was illegal to play Dixie.
And the bands then broke out into Dixie.
And there were so many people there that the occupation government couldn't stop it.
But from there, they moved down all the way down to the Tidewaters counties where it was a lot harder.
We were at the museum yesterday with Hunter and his father.
And it's not hard for me to learn something new.
But I would have never thought that you might learn something.
You enjoyed the museum visit yesterday, did you not?
Just fantastic.
Well, and then the Red Shirts with Wade Hampton.
You talk about Reconstruction in the South, the horrors of Reconstruction.
Had it not been for the Red Shirts who protected Wade Hampton so he could win the governorship of South Carolina and his deal with Rutherford B. Hayes that ended Reconstruction effectively.
It all happened right here.
I mean, South Carolina was the first to secede.
South Carolina was the one that gave the South its salvation in Reconstruction.
Yeah, and we should remember Yankees, too.
I had a great-great uncle who was a fellow named Leland, John Leland, whose family was from Massachusetts.
And he had been on Hampton's staff during the war, and he was on Hampton's staff during the campaign for redemption.
And he was the one who removed the black delegates from the state legislature.
I want to ask our friend here.
We won't even announce his name, but my friend, tell us what you think of.
You shared with me earlier.
I want him to hear it, and I wanted the audience to hear it.
Your thoughts on Sam Dixon?
Well, Dixie Republic is Sam Dixon's greatest fan.
We love him.
And every word he speaks is brilliant, and we appreciate him more than anyone.
Hey, how about that, everybody?
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
I'm very moved, and I'm a great admirer of you.
This is a magnificent place.
It's just magnificent.
Did you think it would be like this?
You've heard the ads for so many years of this program.
Did you think it would be like this?
The Southern Cracker Barrel?
I had no idea.
The dimensions alone are astonishing.
The ground.
But it's tastefully appointed, too.
It's sight and sound and smell.
It's a huge hangout.
Not only the people who came here for the League of the South meeting, but all through the day I saw people thronging through and eating boiled peanuts and having coffee.
And, you know, it's just a tremendous neighborhood gathering place.
It's just tremendous.
Well, now, to your right flank, I'm being outflanked on three tiers now.
To my right is Sam Dixon.
To his right is Michael Hill.
It's hard to be to the right of me, but you guys.
Yeah, that's for sure.
We have Michael Hill, president of the League of the South.
Ladies and gentlemen, bow before our better, Michael Hill.
Now, stop that.
Hey.
I'm just one of the guys.
What have we done tonight?
What have we done today this weekend?
Hey, we've had a great time here.
This is a great part of the world.
I've been up here.
I can't count the number of times I've been in the upcountry of South Carolina over the last year.
Better every time.
30 years and it really does get better every time and I really would like to give a shout out to Scott Goldsmith who founded the Dixie Republic.
Scott Goldsmith.
We're not here without this man right there.
I'm looking at him pointing at him.
And Paul Lawrence has taken it over and done a magnificent job with it as well.
And it is just a great place to gather with like-minded people.
And we need places like this all over.
You know, if we had places like this all over as hubs of ours, this is the thing.
It's not just our people that are affiliated with our programs and broadcasts and organizations and clubs.
This is a community of us.
That's right.
They've never heard of James Edwards or Sam Dixon or Michael Hill, but they would have heard it.
They were here.
And they loved it.
They were community because they love the South and they realize that this is a special.
You give them a chance to be who they are.
They'll take advantage of it.
That's exactly what you do.
You present this to them and give it to them as an option, and they will choose it almost every time.
This was something that came a year or two ago.
It was said, if the river is allowed to flow unobstructed, it would lead back to us.
Our people will come back.
Yeah, I think that's true.
Absolutely true.
So again, Michael, we've been asking everybody, what did we experience here today?
I mean, it was from the brotherly camaraderie and fellowship to the spiritual and beyond.
It really was.
I asked Paul this morning how many people he expected to come through, and he said maybe 1,500 people coming through in the entire day.
At some point throughout the day, at some point.
And I tell you, the thing that really impressed me most was the young people that I saw here, particularly the young men that families, too.
Just amazing that these young people are picking up where us old guys are eventually going to have to leave off.
And it's so heartening to see these young people come here and not just enjoy this, but understand.
That's the thing.
I mean, they're not just here to see out of a curiosity.
They are well informed.
They know why they're here.
They know why.
And they can articulate it.
Absolutely.
And they did.
I talked to some of these people just trying to gouge how deep the surface goes.
I know.
It went root deep.
Yeah, it was amazing.
I'd like to have had this kind of students.
Now, I had some students like this when I was teaching at the University of Alabama.
Imagine being at the University of Alabama and Michael Hill as your professor.
Hunter, Hunter, what would you do for that?
Well, we did have a good time.
I got called into the Dean's office.
Hang on, don't go anywhere.
We've got to take a break.
We're going to link you up with the great Mark Tommy, two league generals, coming up next.
Informing citizens.
Pursuing liberty.

Six people are dead after a plane crash in Murieta, California.
Ryan Baker has more.
The FAA says the Cessna C-550 business jet went down in a field and burst into flames this morning around 4.15 near the French Valley Airport.
All six on board were pronounced dead at the scene.
The plane departed from Harry Reed International Airport in Vegas before the crash.
This comes a week after a small plane crash while taking off at the same airport.
One person died in that crash and three others were injured.
House Republicans are demanding a briefing from the Secret Service on the White House cocaine discovery.
Oversight Committee Chair James Comer wants the briefing by next week to investigate security procedures.
Comer denounces the incident as unacceptable and shameful.
Cocaine was found on Sunday and prompted an evacuation at the White House.
Tyler Bench, a January 6th Capitol building rioter who used bear spray, has received a lenient sentence from U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden.
The Trump-appointed judge sentenced Bench to probation and 60 days of home arrest while prosecutors had sought a nine-month federal prison term.
During the sentencing, Judge McFadden said he was giving him a break.
The Biden administration is sending more firepower to Ukraine.
The White House announced Friday it is providing cluster munitions to Ukraine to defend against Russian forces.
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says doing so shows the resolve of the U.S. and its allies.
We will not leave Ukraine defenseless at any point in this conflict, period.
President Biden told reporters Ukraine is running out of ammunition.
Human rights groups and some U.S. allies say the bombs, which send multiple munitions over a wide area, will lead to more civilian casualties.
I'm Jeremy Scott.
The Mega Millions jackpot is nearing the half billion dollar mark.
There were no winning tickets in last night's drawing.
That means Tuesday's jackpot will be worth $480 million.

What a wonderful broadcast.
What a wonderful camaraderie and fellowship we have shared today.
And we're trying to, to the best of our abilities, transmit to a wider listening audience across the South and indeed all of the United States.
Well, let's just call it America.
From coast to coast and around the world.
And here now it continues with Mark Tommy of the League of the South.
Mark, every time you're on one of these shows here at Dixie Republic, you steal the show.
I mean that.
You are a fantastic representative and a spokesman for our cause.
What have we seen today, my friend?
What have the listening audience who have not been privy to our company missed tonight and today?
Well, you know, first, thank you for the flattering comments.
I mean it.
I'm humbled by your flattery lightly.
It has to be earned and deserved.
Well, I appreciate it, and I thank you very much.
And I don't know what I can add to what a lot of the other folks have probably already said here, but being here at Dixie Republic for an event like this is just absolutely one of the greatest experiences that a person who loves the South and loves his people can experience.
We've had a great slate of speakers today who inspired us, who challenged us, who gave us hope and ideas for how we can accomplish our goal.
We've had great music.
We've had great food.
The venue here is wonderful.
You've got Confederate flags everywhere, portraits of our great generals and generals and heroes everywhere, books.
You know, anything southern that you could possibly want, you can find it here, especially the kind of people who know and appreciate who and what we are and what we're trying to do and what we're trying to preserve.
And it's just a great time of camaraderie and fellowship.
And if you haven't been able to come to one of these in the past, I heartily recommend that you make the effort to do it in the future because you're really missing out on a great time.
Amen.
Amen.
Now, that said, what were the contents of your remarks today at the breakout session?
Well, the title of my talk was called Irreconcilable Differences.
And the subtitle was Dixie Divorces Sam Once and For All.
And so I started out with a little allegorical story of Dixie and Sam getting married and the troubles they went through and how they finally split up and Sam dragged Dixie back kicking and screaming at the point of a gun and then went on to describe a few other things about how we can achieve our goal, the differences that we have that are so irreconcilable with the rest of the United States.
You know, from the philosophy that the southern people have toward religion, toward right and wrong, law and order, et cetera, et cetera.
And we just don't get along with the rest of the country.
Is this system, Mark, going to continue in perpetuity?
Or is it going to collapse?
It's all empires and all criminally corrupt civilizations do.
Yeah, I think for anybody who has studied history, you can see the signs of disintegration and collapse all over the U.S. Empire.
I would just add this parenthetically before you continue on with your response is that, you know, perhaps nobody, I don't want to say nobody, perhaps some, but very few who were under the oppression of the Bolshevik communist regime and the USSR could have ever foreseen that one day it would collapse, it would go.
Certainly, the Spaniards who were under Muslim occupation for centuries, there were people who lived and died for generations who could have never foreseen that one day it would end.
And then, you know, that sparked Ferdinand and Isabella and Columbus and the exploration and the age of exploration.
Oh, yeah.
We are, I think, too tied to our finite existence on this temporal plane.
But what has been will not always be.
No, of course not.
And most Americans are woefully ignorant of history at all levels.
But, you know, as Sam Dixon pointed out in his talk today, he was talking about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Yeah, we just mentioned.
And he had a Russian teacher when he was young who explained to him that, you know, communism has to collapse because it's against the law of God, it's against the laws of nature, and it is against human nature.
And anything that tries to pervert that natural order is doomed to failure.
This is it.
This is it, Mark.
I mean, we were at a point in time now here in this empire where everything, I said it earlier tonight, nearly everything is dysgenic.
Everything is degenerate.
And if you wage a war against God, you wage a war against nature, you're not going to win.
This will end.
This will end one way or another.
At some point.
And it doesn't need our help to do it.
No, it'll do it all by itself.
And it's happening.
It's happening in real time.
Exactly, and one of the things that I've seen.
You need a spark and then the event happens and then it changes very gradually and then all at once.
Go ahead.
You know, one of the phrases that I've used to describe it to people over the years is that the laws of nature are going to work themselves to their logical conclusions in spite of the intentions of those who set things in motion.
To your point, you have these so-called transgenders.
They lop off their genitalia.
Yeah, and then they put in an artificial genitalia, and then the body tries to heal the wound.
And you have to keep reopening that wound to play into the pretend.
But God's law, the law of nature, will prevail in the end, and this age will pass.
They didn't see it in Soviet Russia.
They didn't see it in Muslim-occupied Spain.
And we could go back in antiquity to other examples.
This will not endure forever.
No, and it's on the verge of collapse now.
Exactly when that's going to happen is anybody's guessing.
Well, that was the thing that actually came up today was in 1970.
We're so far gone, it's going to happen any minute.
Now, here we are in the 2020s.
It hasn't happened yet.
But it will happen.
You know, I'm reminded of something that General Lee wrote to Lord Acton after the war.
They exchanged a couple of letters with each other.
Famously.
General Lee mentioned that the tide of history moves so slowly, and we only see the edge of the advancing wave, and we don't understand what's coming behind it and everything.
We have to wait until it passes before we see what's going to happen.
And so you have to take the long view of these things.
And everything's working itself out according to God's providence.
But the signs are, as our Lord said, the signs are there for you to see if you have eyes to see and ears to hear.
And the evidence is all around us that this thing is on the verge of imploding.
Well, it happened in our lifetime.
I mean, we can't say that definitively, but it seems to be we're at a very near end stage of this.
I feel like we are, you know, and being an engineer, I've often used a mathematical analogy to describe it is that the path that we're on is like a logarithmic curve.
It's very, very flat for a long, long time, and then as you get out towards the end of the graph, it suddenly shoots straight up.
And, you know, in my lifetime, I'm 65.
Very gradually, and then all at once.
You know, we were on that flat part of the curve, but over the last decade or so, we've hit the curve and started that virus.
Yeah, it has really been within the last decade, to be sure, but really since the Trump era and really even more than that, since 2020.
With the Biden inauguration, you look at the polls of our people in terms of racial issues and in terms of all of the issues that matter to us, there is something, I mean, an inch deep beneath the surface waiting for the event.
You know, to kind of put it in historical perspective, you know, think about how slowly the civil rights stuff developed and the new, the great society of Lyndon Johnson and everything.
And all of that took years to be put in place and begin to manifest itself.
We're at a point now where things are happening at breakneck speed.
I mean, it's almost impossible to keep up with how many things are happening on a day-to-day basis.
Any event could spark it.
It could be an economic collapse.
It could be a nuclear war.
It could be so many things.
But you give the people a chance to become who they are, and they will take advantage.
We've been talking about that tonight.
It is close enough and real enough to where we can feel it.
Yes, absolutely.
And, you know, none of us knows how much time we have left on planet Earth.
But statistically speaking, based on my family history, I should have about another 20 years, give or take.
So you can live to be a.
And I, you know, personally, I think I'll live to see the United States as we know it ceased to exist.
Let's hope.
Yes.
Because this is a criminally corrupt antichrist country now.
Oh, absolutely.
And so I have no beholden to that.
I have a beholden to my people.
I have a beholdence to Jesus Christ.
I have a beholden to my faith.
That's right.
To my family.
Not an arbitrary system of government, a system of media and courts.
That's not what I'm beholden to.
Exactly.
The really important thing is your blood and your soil.
You know, the people that you're related to, the people who are your neighbors, and the particular patch of ground you occupy on the face of planet Earth.
And the people who have suffered to bring it about, people like Michael Hill and Mark Tommy, and so many we've heard from tonight.
You can trust that they will be there when the time comes.
I'm shaking the hand of Mark Tommy tonight.
Thank you, Mark.
You always steal the show.
I hesitate to bring you on because you always outshine me.
So you flatter me so much.
Thank you much.
Always great to have you.

This is a battle.
A battle between truth and deceit.
A battle between forces that would enslave this country in darkness and between a media that wants to present you with the truth.
We are being censored.
America's news outlets no longer provide the truth.
90% of news outlets in the United States are controlled by six corporations.
The mission of the Epic Times is to chase the truth, to ground all statements in facts.
TheEpicTimes.com I'm sad to admit it.
I'm sad to admit it.
But we are now in our last segment of the night.
How did three hours go about that fast?
Albert Einstein was on to something this time warp, whatever.
But it does.
You mean stealing things from the patent office?
Hey, we always like to close a show from the upstate of South Carolina with Johnny Rebel himself.
He's wearing a muscle, not a t-shirt, a muscle shirt, because he can.
I will not comply.
I will not comply.
His muscle shirt reads, Johnny Rebel, a tall tale character, a good friend of mine.
I mean that in the best possible way.
I mean, because you outdo mere mortals.
But Johnny Rebel is with us tonight.
He is all about lead, leather, and steel, right?
Yes, sir.
And every time we're here in the upcountry of South Carolina, we make sure we have Johnny on.
Now, you had a busy day today.
I am tired as a one-harmed man hanging Piper.
So you had a lot of business coming through the leather shop today.
The leather shop slash gunsmith slash blacksmith slash hot sauce holder.
That was just wrong.
Thank you, Thomas.
But it became a fad.
Now, tell us a story, if you can.
Tell us a story behind that.
I think it was a joke about a week ago.
He showed me a TikTok and it was some old boomer wearing a hot sauce dispenser or a holster on his belt.
And the old man carried his hot sauce everywhere he went.
Thomas thought it was cool.
I said, I accept the challenge.
And you built it.
You made him.
Hey, he's right here.
Folks, it's a crime that it's radio and not television.
The man who started the fad, he's wearing his hot sauce holster here.
I'm looking at it.
It looks like a gun holster, but it holds hot sauce.
And I'm looking at it.
I wish there was videos.
So you can see the level of gayness involved here.
No.
No, I know this guy.
No, it's cool.
I dance, Thomas.
But you sold some more.
I swear to you, ladies and gentlemen, I was in Johnny Rebel's shop tonight.
He said, is that a hot sauce holder?
Can I get one?
Yeah, I probably got a couple on back order now.
Because you wouldn't want to put hot sauce on like a kitchen counter.
You have to wear it in order.
Yeah, yeah, it's like a street cred right there.
You have to wear it or else it won't be close enough to you when you need it.
If it's like right like two inches away on the counter, it's not going to work, right, Johnny?
Well, according to the internet, we don't season our food.
So Thomas is, he's taking the lead on that.
All right.
All right.
Oh, now, but, I mean, you've made Cossack whips.
You've made leather thongs.
You don't ever know what's going to come through Johnny Rebb's leather and steel shop.
You just never know.
I mean, it's like this week has been a whirlwind.
But you'll build it.
You're wearing boots, a kilt.
I'm looking at you, a muscle shirt.
Well, and self-made holsters and ammo, you know.
Nobody's taking you tonight, right, Johnny?
I hope not.
It would take an effort.
You're not going to get this guy for free, right?
No, no.
But yeah, I haven't done hardly a guitar strap in probably 10 or 12 years.
You did some knife sheaths today.
I mean, a knife sheath.
Eight-year-old boy came into your shop today.
We're not going to reveal his identity, but he's the grandson of a pretty famous guy.
But he came in today, and he had a, what did you make for him?
I made him a belt, and I couldn't think of the word earlier.
It's called a frog.
It goes between the belt and the scabbard.
And it's kind of a, well, a frog would be a Scottish thing.
But I made one for his little mini X caliber looking sword.
It was kind of cool.
It was for a kid.
But you made one for my son when we were here for the book signing on April 1st to kick off Confederate History Month here on TPC at this location.
You made a bracelet for my son.
And I want to tell you something, and I'll tell you this to everybody.
My son rarely takes it off.
Sometimes he has to wash his wrist.
That's it.
My wife makes him like, you got to wash your arm from time to time.
He never takes it off.
He loves it.
You make everything for everybody, whatever they need.
If it's made of leather, you can do it.
And gunsmithing and knife sharpening and sword blades.
And you don't even know what Johnny Rebb can do.
Now, how can they get in touch?
You don't have to come to the shop here in upstate South Carolina.
They can get in touch with you elsewhere.
They can.
They can go through Google Maps and just look up Johnny Rebb's custom leather.
And it will pop up.
There is a link in my contact info is on there.
And you're not afraid of Antifa calling you or anything like that.
I'll make them a thong or a hot sauce.
We don't care.
The men would want the thong.
I'll make one for the right price.
Well, I don't make stainless hide because it's very abrasive.
But yeah.
And Cossack whips.
I have to mention that every time we come.
The Cossack whip is a very effective tool.
We need it.
I mean, the Russians needed it for Pussy Riot.
Well, that's where mine came from.
All right.
So, Johnny, somebody's listening tonight.
They need leather work, gun work, knife work, blade work, sword work.
You never know.
I mean, Braveheart may be out there listening.
How do they get in touch with you?
Well, there he is right there.
I don't know if we've disclosed a location tonight or not.
Who knows?
Where have we?
I don't even know.
Just go on Google Maps and look up Johnny Rebb's Custom Leather and Travelers Arrest, South Carolina.
And we'll go from there.
We're definitely there.
You will find a very common ground to stand on.
We're definitely not at Dixie Republic tonight.
We are definitely not there.
That would be just like over the top.
But if you were to happen to stumble into Dixie Republic, you might find Johnny's Travel Wars Rest.
There's four acres of mysteries here.
You just never know what you're going to find.
But you will find common ground.
In a common place, you can speak.
And we speak, do we not?
We speak a lot.
Johnny, I've been around my whole adult life in this movement, this business.
I don't want to call it a business, this movement, this cause.
I was 19 years old with Pat Buchanan.
I was in Long Beach, California.
It's been a minute, ain't it?
Yeah, it's been my entire adult life, though.
Before that, I mean, what was I going to do?
I couldn't even vote.
I couldn't even vote barely even then.
But it went from a delegate at Long Beach, California in the summer of 2000, 23 years later, here we are.
And it's been a wonderful, wonderful journey.
And I am thankful to meet people like you and everybody here assembled tonight that you've heard from.
One more word for the crowd you've experienced here this weekend.
Just phenomenal.
It's just great people coming together.
We learn, we talk, we exchange ideas.
It's just a great place to do it.
And now it's time.
Do you know what it's time for now?
Oh, my.
Not that closing Rebel Yell.
Yeah.
Well, we did the Rebel Yellow to start.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to sing Dixie.
And as we did it at the beginning of the show, where we wanted to do the Rebel yell so loud that they heard it in Columbia, that Nimrada could hear it wherever she is tonight.
We want that, the foundation of that flagpole that once carried our banner to tremble tonight as we sing Dixie.
And we're going to sing it with an upbeat military cadence.
If you can.
Do you think you can, ladies and gentlemen?
We're going to sing Dixie.
All right, where's Hunter?
Hunter.
All right, come on, Hunter.
You got to help me lead this thing.
We don't do it without Hunter.
All right.
The owner of my program said, don't let me set the key.
Now, how are we going to do it, Hunter?
We're going to do it fast, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And we'll start it off by saying, I wish I was in the land of cotton.
No time's ever not forgotten.
Look away.
Dixie land in Dixie Land where I was born.
And early on, one frosty morning.
Look away.
Look away.
Look away, Dixie Land.
And I wish I was in Dixie.
Hooray!
Hooray!
In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand to live and die.
Dixie, away, away.
Away down south of Dixie.
Away, away, away down south.
In Dixie.
Woo!
Michael Hill to close out the show, the Chief of the League of the South.
Did you feel it, Michael?
Man, I felt it.
I felt it.
Are we going to win, Michael?
We are going to win.
Is it any question?
It ain't even questioned, Dorothy.
That's right.
That's right.
It ain't any men question.
Final word to the audience tonight from this weekend, this fellowship, this camaraderie, this brotherhood.
Absolutely.
What would you say?
I'd say thank God for the opportunity to be with such fine people.
League of the South, how can they join?
Because if they're not a member, they need to be.
Well, if y'all are not a member, you can just go to our website, which is leagueofthesouth.com.
We try to keep it real simple.
And you can contact me by email or by phone, and I'll talk with you.
I'll send you whatever you want in the mail, and we'll get you signed up.
But the more people we have in an organization, the stronger we get, and the more likely we are in our lifetime to see our freedom.
And our people need to make a stand now.
Absolutely.
If we don't make a stand now, when are we going to make it?
Absolutely.
Just stand.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Sam.
That's been the motto of tonight.
Just stand.
Absolutely.
Just stand.
All right.
Leagueofthesouth.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pointing at a man right now who doesn't want any recognition, but everybody here has played a role in some way.
Thank you, James.
Thank you for being here and doing.
Thank you, James.
You are a master of ceremonies, if I've ever met one.
James knows how to do that.
Well, thank you, Hunter.
Now, did I tell you the story about the marriage proposals that Hunter got the first time he was on this show?
Did I tell you that?
We embarrass him every time with that.
But in any event, but he's married and he's an honorable.
He's got a family.
Just enjoy it anyway.
All right.
We're out of time and we're out of time.
For all of our friends and family and invited guests from Dixie upcountry of South Carolina, I'm James Edwards.
We will talk to you next week, but I can't promise you it will be as good as tonight.
