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.
How about tonight's show, gang?
Is this what we do or not here at TPC this 30th day of September 2023?
Talk about two first-time debut guests.
I don't think we could have packed more of a wallop one after another than Keith Woods, the Irish nationalist who recently made international news with his hashtag Ban the ADL campaign on Twitter.
He joined us tonight live from Ireland in the first hour to be followed by Ed Brodo, author of the number one Amazon best-selling book, The War on Whites, how hating white people became the new national sport.
Two guests, two first-time appearances, Keith Woods, Ed Brodo.
This is TPC, and this is what your support, ladies and gentlemen, what your generosity, your donations, your contributions, your love offerings make possible.
Not just the show, but our work outside of the studio too, my speaking tour, the book, The Honorable Cause, my column in the American Free Press.
There's a lot that we're doing behind the scenes, not the least of which is the networking that enables us to bring guests like this onto the program.
We're everywhere our people need to be.
TPC is truly, truly a foundational cornerstone in this century for our people.
And we've done a lot as a result of God's good humor and, of course, your support.
And I want to thank everyone who contributed to our third quarter fundraising drive.
It ends tonight, September the 30th.
It was a success.
It was a great success.
The first two quarters of this year were a little dicey.
We got off to a rocky start even this month.
But then mana from heaven fell and our audience rallied.
A lot of people sending in above and beyond their regular level of support, some first-time donors and a lot of people there in between.
And it was a successful third quarter fundraising drive.
You do not know, folks, how much of a relief it is for me to tell you it was a successful first quarter fundraising, a third quarter fundraising drive, our first successful quarter above and beyond our ability to meet the bills since last Christmas.
And we're already looking forward this Christmas and another great fundraising incentive for the Christmas season in December.
But first, before we look forward to that, let's celebrate this enough to keep the wheels on the wagon for the next fiscal quarter.
And we thank you for that.
A lot of you have received some thank you letters and maybe even some packages, depending on what level of support you decided to give.
We've got a lot more that we're going to be sending out this next week, but we thank you all.
And it's never too late.
If you want to support the work of TPC, you want to continue producing great radio like this.
20 years is coming soon.
20 years is next year.
And we've got a lot of hopes and dreams and a lot more we want to do.
And it's all contingent upon your support because we are 100% listener supported.
No money from ad revenue, no money from grants or foundations.
It's all you folks.
And we love you and we thank you.
And we thank Keith Woods.
We thank Ed Brodo for another great show tonight.
And it's only going to continue to get bigger and better.
I mean, this has been a monumental month for TPC.
The Keith Woods thing with Bandy ADL, I don't know if he's done any interviews except for ours this month.
Not that I know of anyway.
So this is what we do.
And we're happy to do it.
And we'll continue to do it to the best of our ability, as we've always done.
But, you know, I met Keith Woods at Amrin back in August.
I guess that was just last month.
I had the opportunity to give a talk there.
And I'd like to revisit some of that talk now, as a matter of fact.
Keith Alexander tonight's at his 50th college reunion.
And I know a lot of you have probably already seen it online if you weren't there in person.
But I'm going to play for you now at least a little bit of my talk at Amrin back in August.
And I hope you'll like it.
If you haven't heard it before, that's why we're playing it tonight.
If you have heard it before, maybe you won't mind listening to excerpts from it again.
And then we're going to close the show out tonight with our correspondent, Peter Scoop Stanton, in the fourth segment of this hour.
Stay tuned, everybody.
And let's go now to this Amrin speech.
And this is how I kicked it off.
But I should quickly make mention that one Samuel Jared Taylor has made more guest appearances on the aforementioned radio program than any other challenger.
And as you might imagine, we become friends over that time.
So when I was in Washington back in January of 2017 with two press credentials to see Donald Trump sworn in as President of the United States, who do you think I asked to join me?
Of course, if you're in Washington and you've got a press credential like that, you're going to ask Jared.
And so there we were, seated about as far away from the president as I am seated from Jared right now as he was sworn in and took that oath.
And the press recognized Jared on site that day and came to interview him.
I think they were a little bit confused and perhaps a little bit disconcerted as to how we were amongst them that day.
But the last time I spoke at Amrin was in 2016 and Amrin had a spring conference that year.
I had just interviewed Donald Trump Jr. and the media was absolutely apoplectic about that.
For about a year they were.
And actually the New York Times and the Washington Post may still be writing articles about it.
It's a little bit like the Emmett Till case.
There's never really any updates, but that doesn't keep it from being breaking news.
But I said with confidence that year that Donald Trump would be elected President of the United States.
In the spring of 2016, a lot of people didn't believe that, even people who wanted him to be.
And the message I'm going to share with you today, I share with an equal amount of confidence.
2016 was only eight years ago, but it was a world away from where we were then.
And in many respects, perhaps inadvertently, but because of Donald Trump.
And these changes that have come will present us with opportunities that previously didn't exist.
And let me also assure you before I continue that any youthful naivete that I may have once possessed has long since been zapped.
I have been attacked by virtually every media outlet in the world at one time or another, an incessant drumbeat.
I have an unblemished record of setbacks and defeats.
And I have been denounced by name and on the record by the United States Congress, been banned by every social media outlet and every credit card processing company in the universe.
And Elon, if you're watching, Jared and I would like our accounts restored, sir.
But I've also been right about a lot of things over that time.
And I am still brimming with zeal because I believe that our cause is just and that things are going to turn around for us.
Things do change.
Mark Weber is a man for whom I have an immense amount of respect.
Said a very simple but profound remark at his most recent address of the Skansa Forum.
Things won't always be this way.
When I first started, like all young lads, I thought that I could single-handedly turn the rudder.
The reason we hadn't won yet was just simply because I hadn't arrived yet.
But it didn't take me too long to figure out this nut was going to be a little bit more difficult to crack than that.
And so I dispensed with that thinking and I adopted the mindset of the I would happily serve as a faithful shepherd to whatever flock I've got.
But now I am beginning to think that we have a real puncher's chance of witnessing something absolutely amazing come about in the very near term.
This corrupt and gluttonous empire that we live under will not stand the test of time as it currently exists.
That much I can tell you.
And no empire ever does.
The United States won't be an exception.
It is unfortunate for all of us in the room that we just so happened to be born during the nadir of the American experiment.
We've spent a lifetime watching things get progressively worse.
And when you ever hear the establishment media speak of progress, believe me, something just got progressively worse.
We've watched for years that society at large has circled down the drain with no end in sight.
But then, inexplicably, and within the past couple of years, especially, whites in middle America started to show a pulse again.
Make no mistake about it, the GOP base, the average Trump voter, are showing signs of a racial consciousness.
And there are mountains of statistical data and anecdotal evidence to back up my claim.
But first, take a trip back with me, if you would, to the mid-2000s, the late 2000s, right around the time where people like myself and Jared and Peter Brimelow were making our final appearances as guests on CNN and Fox News and C-SPAN and places like that.
Yeah, they actually used to have us on.
They still talk about us.
They just don't talk to us anymore.
And there's a difference than that.
But if you take a look at the state of so-called conservatism at that time, you saw disinfected whites being spoken for by people like Glenn Beck.
And thankfully, those days are gone, the days of the ridiculous tea parties.
Not that the people there necessarily were ridiculous.
Actually, Peter Brimelow and I were interviewed by CNN in tandem.
Our whites oppressed the majority, I think was the question.
But it was in response to the Glenn Beck rally that he had in Washington at the Lincoln Memorial.
And this is what was going on for that base that would eventually become the Trump base.
Glenn Beck was saying things like, Here we are, I stand here now where the great Martin Luther King once stood, but allow me to take a step down because I have no right to be on the same pedestal as Dr. Reverend King.
And so I can't win with a guy like that, ladies and gentlemen, which led me to write this book, Racism-Schmeissism: How Liberals Use the R-word.
Back then, people still didn't get it yet.
That and it was written on an elementary level for an introductory type of purpose, but people didn't get what they meant by the word racism.
They didn't mean it the way that a lot of people think they do.
They just want you to retreat from the field.
And so they do that to keep you spinning your wheels.
But people get it now.
And again, I think largely because of Trump.
Trump, every single day from the day he came down that escalator in Trump Tower through today and every day between then and now every article that has ever been written about him, racist, bigot, white supremacist, fascist.
And I think it numbed people to it.
They have overplayed that so much.
Trump could have cured cancer or walked on water.
The headline would have been, Donald Trump is a racist.
And so we've come a long way.
The people now get what the late Bob Whitaker was talking about.
people are not anti-racist they are anti-white but those days are gone and the cracks and fissures are beginning to be exposed all over the place Where are we now?
To answer that, I'm going to share with you some stats and some data that will help gird your loins.
Here's the headline.
73% of Trump voters think Democrats are trying to replace white people with immigrants and people of color who share their political views.
Shock new poll shows.
Now, those are numbers we can win with.
73%.
Make me look good, Martin.
73% of tens of millions of people.
And these people are less naive about race than the post-George Floyd, Joe Biden era.
Blake Masters, who ran for Senate, as you remember back in 2022, the GOP nominee for Senate in Arizona.
Here's the headline.
GOP nominee for Senate blames gun violence on, quote, black people, frankly, end quote.
And of course, he is correct.
That is 100% factual.
But here's the thing about telling the truth.
Once some people start to do it, then other people start to do it.
It could be contagious like that.
Tulsi Gabbard, maybe the last honest Democrat or former Democrat, as it were, has added the term anti-white to her own vocabulary lately.
And here's the thing.
You know, we don't have to, there's nothing wrong with biding our time right now because people are rapidly catching up to us.
We don't have to go out and do anything because people are getting to us on their own schedule.
But to what extent are they catching up?
The ground is shifting as we speak, and it's observable in real time.
The politico headline.
Politico flagged a stunning poll results showing that a quarter of Republican voters oppose Congress passing a federal law to protect interracial marriage.
As we're also seeing millions of white Republican voters believe that having a strong leader is more important than protecting our democracy with a capital D, as the Washington Post now writes it.
Red state Trump voters are now more likely to say that they would be better off than worse off if their state seceded.
Yahoo News YouGov poll.
We'll talk more about that in just a second.
But it's not just here that we're seeing these stirrings.
Hungary's leader, Victor Orban, bashed Western Europeans for, quote, mixing with non-Europeans and said Hungarians do not want to become a mixed race.
Now, that's not a failed candidate for the United States Senate, and that is not a former member of Congress.
That is a sitting prime minister of a major European nation.
In the meantime, people like Ben Sasse, thank God, are done.
They have been replaced.
Liz Cheney got rolled by 30 points.
The Bush-Cheney-Clinton dynasty is over.
There's not one of them in office at any level.
Poof, it is gone.
And just like that, absolutely unfathomable to have believed that as recently as 2015.
But you want more polling data.
I know you do.
So here we go.
This was recorded just after Biden's inauguration.
87% of Trump voters are worried about anti-white discrimination.
80% of Trump voters reject white privilege.
64% of Trump voters believe that their race and ethnicity is important to their identity.
40% of Trump voters believe that their race and ethnicity is extremely important to their sense of identity.
But why is all this happening now?
Why now?
Our ideas are no more correct or right today than they were 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 50 years ago, 100 years ago, no matter how far back you go.
But it's really just in the past two to three years, not just during the Trump era itself, but the last two to three years that so much of this has crystallized.
So I would ask you to consider the following.
Since the summer of St. George, at least 200 Confederate monuments have been destroyed by an orgy of mob violence and the actions of left-wing governments.
This was an all-out assault on American heritage that ranged from Robert E. Lee to the founding fathers to Christian missionaries.
Donald Trump and his supporters have been censored and purged from the internet by big tech.
Six months of nonstop violence by Antifa and Black Lives Matter from the death of George Floyd to the 2020 election.
The FBI and the DOJ have turned a blind eye to this violence.
The FBI and the DOJ have, in fact, become weaponized against Trump and his supporters.
They've launched a domestic war on terror against non-existent insurgents.
The New York Times and the mainstream media have gone beyond whatever level of bad they were in previous years to the point where now we have racial attacks on whites that have become a never-ending bombardment.
The definition of racism, as I saw in 2010 when I wrote this book, has been changed now, and basically everybody gets it.
All white people are held to be complicit in systemic racism and white supremacy.
Racist means white person, the way they use it.
The political, cultural, and corporate establishment embrace critical race theory and equity language, which vilifies whites on the basis of race.
Too many people to town have been doxed, fired, and silenced over differences of opinion.
Donald Trump has told his followers that the 2020 election was outright stolen from him, and 70% believe that it's true.
And finally, a simultaneous push to indoctrinate kids with critical race theory and transgender propaganda from kindergarten onward.
That list right there, those 10 points were compiled by my good friend Brad Griffin, which I borrowed with attribution today.
Now, yeah, Brad does a great job at Occidental Dissent.
He has an uncanny knack of saying things that I'm seeing and feeling or putting it into the written form.
But what effect do you think all of these things have had in such a short order on white racial attitudes?
Well, according to another incredible poll, nine out of ten Trump voters say that white people are under attack in America to a certain degree.
Now, these are their polls, mind you.
I didn't get the yellow pages.
Those still exist.
But I didn't call a bunch of people out of the phone book and say, oh, I ran a poll.
These are their polls.
These are the polls that the news media so often cites.
And I don't think the toothbrush is going to go back in the tube on these things.
Having a developing sense of white racial consciousness is becoming in vogue.
It doesn't make any sense to even label us hate groups or extremists anymore.
We're part of the mainstream now.
White nationalists, if you want to use that term, are polling better among Trump supporters in the media now.
And the work we've done for years, believe it, the work our collective has done for years to stoke those embers of the faithful have been essential and they're bearing fruit now.
But sometimes you have to wait for the right conditions to present themselves and for your enemies to overplay their hand.
Now you might be wondering, well, what if the enemy sees what you're saying today and they pump the brakes a little bit?
They can't do it.
They won't do it.
They are so hopped up on hatred of our people that there's no brakes on their train.
They will continue to accelerate these things.
Here we go again.
92% of Trump voters.
And again, when I say Trump voters, you know what I'm talking about.
White Republicans, basically.
Middle America, 92% of Trump voters think that the mainstream media is identical with the Democratic Party.
86% want to build a wall.
77% feel as though they've been gagged by political correctness.
62% want to deport all illegal aliens.
Attitudes are changing.
Attitudes are changing.
And when you see someone like Ron DeSantis correctly say in a press conference that the Waukeshaw Christmas parade massacre was an anti-white attack, which he did, pat yourself on the back because you did that.
These people, these politicians are just trying to keep up with where the voters are now.
Now, I've got a pretty, I don't know if it's cynical or pragmatic, but I've got a theory on human nature.
There are very few people on either side of the political spectrum that have inflexible beliefs.
Those of us in this room are going to rise or fall with our beliefs, come what may.
But most people, and certainly there is A group of people on the other side of the political spectrum that want to see us destroyed at all costs.
But most people in the middle are simply looking after number one.
They will do and say whatever they need to do and say to get by in life.
They'll take the path at least resistance.
They'll conform to whatever the current trends are and fashions of society are.
Well, guess what?
They're going to do the exact same thing when we regain control of the levers of institutional power.
Now, I would rather, of course, have everyone be true believers, especially our elected officials and titans of industry, but they're going to fall in line whenever the day comes when we can exert more leverage than our enemies.
It's just that simple.
Change doesn't have to be as far away as it seems.
As I said, politicians are trying to keep up with the base.
So too are conservative influers like Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh.
They are actually saying things now, their own talking points now, they're saying things, the exact same things, that they were kicking people out of their meetings for saying as recently as just a couple of years ago.
And so all of this is happening in fits and starts.
But here are some more things that used to be taboo and which only used to be discussed in gatherings such as this that we have all watched enter into the conservative mainstream over the past few years.
And even you have elected officials sitting members of Congress saying things like this.
Journalists are the enemy of the people, abolishing the FBI.
I mean, Donald Trump has done so much to help us corrode this trust in the institutions.
He's really accelerated things by decades in this regard.
Black on white crime, the great replacement, the term anti-white, as I mentioned, white advocacy, just in general, things like opposing affirmative action, race-based hiring.
Well, folks, you get to hear me on the radio every Saturday night.
That's how I sound behind a podium.
I have had the opportunity of meeting so many of you throughout this year.
I'm going to revisit a few more minutes of that speech when we come back, and then we're going to get to Peter Scoop's stand.
Stay tuned.
What a great night together on TPC.
Your daily Liberty Newswire.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA News, I'm Skip Kelly.
The Senate entered into debate on approving a House-passed continuing resolution to keep the government open and was expected to vote by early this evening on the measure.
Results of the vote are not in yet, but the measure must pass and be signed by President Joe Biden to avoid the shutdown.
The House approved the stopgap plan Saturday after Democrats agreed to back the last-minute proposal put forward by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to keep money going to government agencies for the next 45 days while continuing to provide billions of dollars in disaster recovery efforts, but not including money for Ukraine.

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a magnificent year so far.
Tomorrow, if you're listening live tonight, tomorrow Sunday will be October the 1st.
I cannot wait to see what the last two or three months of this year bring us and our movement and our cause.
But I can tell you, this year has been very special.
Even after all of these years, this year has been special.
Next year, God willing, will be even more special, our 20th anniversary year.
We're going to want to see a lot of you at a very special event next year.
But there has been no shortage of special events this year.
And it really, for me, kicked off on April the 1st.
We were at Dixie Republic in Traveler's Rest, South Carolina.
And we had the book launch for the honorable cause of Free South.
And from April 1st until two weeks ago, I don't think I spent two consecutive weeks at home.
We were on the road.
We were at events, a lot of them private, but some of them public, like the American Renaissance Conference.
And it's impossible, of course, to play a complete 45-minute speech for you in the confines of Commercial Talk Radio.
But we are certainly playing some of it tonight.
And some of you were there.
Some of you have seen it online.
It is available online at Emran.com and elsewhere.
I think on just one of the three platforms they posted it to, it's already had over 10,000 views.
And so we're going to play a little bit more of it now.
You heard the first few minutes.
We're going to cut out the middle, go to the last 10 minutes, and then we're going to have our final segment of the night.
Stay tuned.
But did you know that this happened in Texas just last summer?
Salon Magazine, the wretched Salon magazine.
Last weekend in Houston.
And when they say last weekend, they're talking about, again, this is an article from last summer.
But last weekend in Houston, the article reads, Texas Republicans got a taste of just how far right their party has become.
at the state gop convention delegates officially declared joe biden an illegitimate president and proposed repealing the 1965 voting rights act that is the that's not the republican party of massachusetts where they're sort of like um the washington general This is the biggest state Republican Party in the country, the Republican Party of Texas.
And yes, the topic of secession has a heartbeat in Texas.
Rolling Stone Magazine said that Texas State Representative Brian Slayton has introduced a bill that would place a referendum for Texas's secession from the United States on the 2024 ballot.
House Bill 3596 would allow Texans to vote on, quote, whether or not the state should investigate the possibility of Texas independence and present potential plans to the legislature.
In a statement, Slayt wrote that after decades of continuous abuse of our rights and liberties by the federal government, it is time to let the people of Texas make their voices heard.
Now, do I think that it's going to happen next year?
No, I don't.
But the fact of the matter is, it's not just people at the Sons of Confederate Veterans talking about this.
These are members, elected officials in state legislatures and in county governments.
I got one more example that I almost can guarantee that you have not heard about.
Did you know that the question of secession has already reached the floor of the New Hampshire State House, the Portland Press Herald headline, New Hampshire House votes on seceding from the United States?
The proposal called for, quote, independence from the United States and all references to the United States and the New Hampshire state constitution, statutes, and regulations be nullified.
Now, as you probably guessed, it failed, or you really would have heard about it.
But 13 lawmakers did vote in favor of it.
And in doing so himself, Representative Matthew Santoso argued that it was just a matter of time before the Union collapses.
Quote, national divorce is going to happen.
It's inevitable.
And we have an opportunity to get ahead of this, end quote.
Oregon, Texas, New Hampshire, county governments, state Republican parties, sitting representatives of state legislatures.
Something's happening.
These are just mere tremors right now, but something's happening.
Secession, by the way, is polling at 20% in New Hampshire.
That's one out of five the last I checked.
Our issues are no more or less valid today than in previous decades or generations, as I said earlier, but the timing wasn't right.
Conditions weren't favorable yet, but they're getting there.
The political rhetoric has become so much more strident and apocalyptic on both sides.
The present trends of cultural disintegration, polarization and political instability cannot continue forever.
Once it reaches a certain threshold, instability devolves into conflict.
Conflict resolves polarization by vanquishing one side or the other and establishing a new normal.
That's what's coming.
And we don't need to do anything to hasten the day.
Do not go out and do anything stupid like engaging in or advocating for violence.
So why haven't we won already, though?
Why haven't we won already?
All of these people agree with us now.
Conditions are becoming more ripe.
So why haven't we turned the corner yet?
Not so fast.
There's a lot of reasons for that, not the least of which is the fact that our people are still entirely too comfortable.
Our people are going to have to suffer a little bit more first.
I don't think our people, not the people in this room, but our race at large, I don't think we deserve some sort of DAUS ex Machina event to bail us out of the mistakes that we've made.
I think we're going to have to learn from them and we may have to learn some tough lessons, although, of course, we would all hope that maybe Trump will be like Samson and bring the House down with him.
But we're going to have to be tested.
We're going to have to be made tough again.
Because rare is the man willing to take risks when he is relatively content.
But a group of people that suffer together become bound together.
But an event's going to have to happen first.
I don't think it will be quite as easy as Trump's election, although I think that's going to take us further down the road.
But an economic collapse here, a nuclear war there?
Hey, who knows?
Wait until these people, here's the point, all of these people who agree with us now and are agreeing with us more by the day, becoming a little bit more brave, wait until these people are faced with the reality that they can't pay the rent.
They can't feed themselves, they can't keep their kids warm.
Not every crisis like that leads to a favorable resolution, but some crises can make it possible.
And that's all that we can realistically hope for is the chance.
This bloated system that governs us will not go down easy.
This system of soft totalitarianism is going to get a lot more rigid when real pressure begins to get applied against it.
That is when you would do very well to remember that you are not an individual, but part of a collective that exists within a continuum that links us to our distant ancestors and our future descendants.
Our individual lives mean very little compared to something so grand and so wonderful.
And if you allow yourselves to get separated from all of that, this is something that should steal your nerves.
If you allow yourselves to be separated from all of the things that make us who we are and who you are, your traditions, your heroes, your holidays, your faith, your culture, all of that.
You get separated from that and you're basically dead already.
So what are you worried about?
And sometimes things get hard.
I mean, that's not a joke.
You may lose friends.
You may have problems with work.
You may lose a job.
Hey, that's a tough thing.
Sometimes these things happen.
But whatever comes, never betray a brother.
Never behave in a way that brings dishonor to our cause and to our people, especially when you're under attack.
Especially when you're under attack.
This is an animating thing and an engaging thing to engage in the struggle of one's time.
It stirs that fostian spirit that exists within the hearts and the minds of the men of the West.
Great men are never made except through great trials.
Adversities aren't obstacles, but rather our greatest opportunities to get better, to forge our character, to work harder, to become smarter, and to prove our worth.
I know it sounds cliche.
It is cliché.
But the future hasn't been written yet.
And during our finite time on earth, we have a say in how it goes.
So you should welcome that.
We tend to see things only through the lens of our very short time on earth.
Only the things that we have experienced personally, it's hard to see before or beyond that.
I'm sure that at some point during the 700 years that the Iberian Peninsula was occupied by the Muslims, those people surely must have thought that this is the end.
It will always be this way.
It will never get any better, but it did get better.
And when they finally unshackled themselves, it launched the age of exploration and our people conquered the world.
The Aztec Empire was at the height of its power about five minutes before Cortez landed on the shore with 600 men.
And I'm sure that the people of Russia, those beautiful people who suffered and were murdered and starved by the Bolsheviks and the communists, brutalized.
I'm sure they thought that the sun was never going to rise again.
But suffice it to say, there's a new sheriff in town now.
Am I comparing apples to oranges?
Am I oversimplifying it?
Maybe.
Those were different times, different people and different situations.
But things do change and they will change here.
We're going to need a leader.
We're going to need a leader who will step in and harness the energy.
Revolutions are top down.
They are not bottom up.
We're going to need that man to step into the moment.
That moment where time and circumstance intersects and change can occur.
That moment, that intersection where you find the place where the message meets the people.
I know not everybody can be up front.
I understand everybody's situation is different.
Not everybody has the same opportunities to serve, but everybody can support or serve in some way.
Support the people in this room.
There are so many people on this podium this weekend and in the crowd itself that are deserving of your support.
So do your part to be part of the team.
There are people here doing phenomenally great work.
Ladies and gentlemen, catch the you heard the beginning of it.
You heard the end of it.
Catch the middle of it and catch the finale of it where I quote Confederate General Patrick Claiborne in the clothes at Amran.com, James Edwards conference speech, Amerin2023 at Amran.com.
Click on the video tab.
There you'll find it.
We'll be right back.

Well, you know, ladies and gentlemen, another victim of cancel culture right there.
I think the Rolling Stones, who are now on just another tour now, six decades in, they've removed brown sugar from their set list as a result of the woke agenda.
You can't even love brown sugar, a scoop, without it being a taboo now.
I mean, it seems as though that would have been like something that would have gotten you favor with the woke now, but now you can't even say that you like it.
Where are we going now?
I mean, all of these inconsistencies, I have no idea.
But nevertheless, folks, I got to say again, been a wonderful year, wonderful night, wonderful month, wonderful everything, 19 years.
But this has been a special show tonight, and I do encourage you to go to Amran.com and check out the full video.
You heard a little bit at the beginning and a little bit of the end.
Catch it all 45 minutes long.
Run time at Amran.com.
And I wish you could have been there, Scoop.
Hopefully, you'll be at a very special gathering next year if we're not foreshadowing that too much.
I think people know we're going to have a 20th anniversary reunion here for our own selves here at TPC.
But we've got a lot to talk to you about.
Scoop, of course, the longtime Washington, D.C. correspondent, formerly of Rhoda Spain.
And Scoop's been with us.
Scoop, what year did you first come on board the CSS Cesspool?
Well, good evening, James, and the political cesspool family.
I believe I came on in 2005 or 2006 when you answered an email.
I said, hey, listen to the show.
I love the show.
And then you email me back saying, thanks.
And then it's just been downhill ever since.
Well, I'll tell you what.
That wasn't the high water mark.
The high water mark is when you actually made it to Memphis.
You came to the studio.
We did it live there at the local station.
And then we went out with Winston Smith.
And I can't remember who else was there, but we sang Run Around Sue by Dion at the karaoke bar.
That was probably the highlight, but still in 2005.
Right.
Well, that event took place in August of 2007.
Well, see, I mean, 2007.
You got to be joking.
I mean, the years do blur together.
It seemed like it was just like right after we talked.
But I mean, two years in the grand scheme of 20 years, I guess, can wow.
Well, I'm glad.
See, this is why, folks, this is why right here you just heard it.
Why Scoop is not just our DC correspondent.
He's not just our formerly international correspondent.
He's not just the host of the fourth hour with Walter Yerku, which comes on right after us for years and years now.
He is our resident historian.
If ever the time comes where I sit down, and hopefully I've got a few more years left in me, but if ever I sat down to write the autobiography, if ever I sit down to write a tell-all, a TPC tell-all, I'm going to call Scoop because only he can remember these things.
And he remembers more about the history of this show, dates, times, locations, people, conversations than I ever could.
It's a true.
How do you do it, Scoop?
Well, when you're a fan of the political cesspool, it's stuff you just sear into your head.
Well, I'm a fan.
Just like the political access.
But, James, you deal with the political accessible day in and day out because you got guests and phone calls and attacks and media calling you and so on and so forth.
So I take the burden of remembering some of the highlights of the political accessible.
And my God, the highlights.
Next year, when we do our anniversary show, we're going to have to use a fourth hour just to remember all the things that's happened over the years.
It's gotten that way.
Listen, this is something you've been a big help on.
And this is no joke.
We're not having just a good time here.
Now, when we do the anniversary shows every October, I call on Scoop because he can remember.
I mean, it's not that I don't remember them once he provokes the memory, but he just remembers everything just like off the top of his head.
Like, oh, yeah, I remember that.
Now, yeah, I could talk for an hour about that.
Oh, yeah, that guy, that time?
Yeah, let's talk about that.
I could go on for days about it.
But he remembers all the guests.
It's just an uncanny encyclopedic knowledge of TPC history.
Well, anyway, Scoop, that's not what we brought you on to talk about tonight, except for the fact that anytime I talk to you, I remember these things.
But yeah, I mean, every anniversary show, you come up big because you remind me of things that I would have wanted to talk about if I could have thought of it myself.
But there's been, well, it's a good thing, though.
It's a good thing to know that you've been around long enough that you can have more good times and more memorable moments than you can count.
And I think at this point in our career and our run, we've gotten there.
But that's not what you're brought on to talk about tonight.
You have actually a couple of things that are going to lead us into your show coming up next year on the Liberty News Radio Network coming up next, our fourth hour, as it's affectionately called, for years now, with you and Walt.
But the Senate showdown.
Now, I actually talked to Steve King on the phone today.
I was going to have, you know, I always assume if I call somebody up, they're ready to just hop on the radio.
Steve was laughing.
He said, you know, for 20 years, I had an unpaid job to go on and fight for my district, and now I'm still doing it and still unpaid.
He was out actually out in the field doing like volunteer service and wasn't able to come on tonight, but wanted to come on, talk about the budget crisis and the budget debate.
I mean, who better talk about that than a guy who spent so many years in Congress and has been through this a couple of times?
I wanted to talk about the Senate shutdown, the so-called government shutdown.
There's been a little bit of movement on that since this morning.
But I know it's a topic that you wanted to talk to soon, and we'll talk to Steve again about it soon on the air as well.
But, Scoop, what do you got?
Well, breaking news: the Senate has passed the continuing spending resolutions so the government will not repeat, will not shut down.
I always get excited thinking that they will, and how much better it would be if they would.
And then, you know, it's like Charlie Brown and Lucy in the football.
I always miss it.
They always fund it at the last minute, and the rug is pulled out from under us once again.
Right.
So the government's still running.
They'll print more money at the printed press over at the Treasury Department.
So we have another 45 days to look forward to government getting involved in our lives.
Well, so we got till Thanksgiving now to talk to Steve about this.
There was no haste.
Right.
But here's the thing, James: the fiscal year for the federal government starts October the 1st.
And people forget about that.
That's why September is always like the annual time.
You got to fund it.
You got to keep printing that funding money or some Park Rangers are going to have to work unpaid or, God forbid, WIC be taken away from some of the support groups of the regime.
But yeah, I mean, it's not January 1st.
It's September.
And October 1st is the new fiscal year for the government.
People don't know that.
Right.
So, anyways, they don't even submit a budget anymore.
It's just like a spending resolution.
It's like, all right, we want to keep, you know, they got a spreadsheet.
We want to keep the government running.
They don't have a budget of, okay, we're going to allocate this money for this department, this money for that department.
And here's what we have coming in.
Here's what we have going out.
It's just crazy.
You can't run a business.
You can't run a household that way.
But, again, the government has printing presses to print all the money that they want.
And the biggest complaint from these politicians is that there was not enough money for Ukraine.
But, you know, it seems to me, James, that we did a trade, like in professional sports.
We traded the nation of Ukraine for the state of Hawaii because we've given billions upon billions of dollars to the nation of Ukraine, and we've given nothing to Hawaii.
Joe Biden went to Hawaii a couple weeks back in between of his vacation between the beaches of Delaware and Lake Tahoe.
He landed.
I seriously doubt that the Air Force even cut the engines on Air Force One to walk around and mumble, stumble, fumble, bumble, and fall asleep.
And then got back on Air Force One, run right back to Lake Tahoe.
Way to go, Joe.
All right, so it hasn't been completely resolved.
They've kicked the can for another 45 days.
Unfortunately, the government's going to be funded to do all of its nefarious work.
And I don't know how much of that benefits the, what does Peter Brimilow call us, historic Americans, whatever you want to call us.
But in any event, so, all right, well, the good news is that gives us another month and a half to get Steve King on the horn to figure out what's really going on here.
But hey, there's been a lot of action in D.C. above and beyond this, right, Scoop?
Yes, a lot of action in the streets.
The Metropolitan Police Department, which is D.C.'s law enforcement agency, has recorded over 200 murders this year, and we're not even October.
Now, it might sound like not a lot of bodies or a lot of incidents, but I remember living in New York City, they had 200 murders for 8 million people.
We have 200 murders in October alone for 600,000 residents because these cities are becoming the killing fields.
The district attorney for the District of Columbia is actually a U.S. attorney.
So you go to D.C. municipal court is a federal court.
But needless to say, with George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, Burning Down D.C., members of the Metropolitan Police Department who are not the best and the brightest that the district has to offer, but some of the biggest slacks, slobs, hecks, shirkers, just degenerates.
I mean, they look like Fat Albert in their uniforms.
They got ZZ top beards.
They just really don't care.
And then now that the D.C. City Council has defunded, demoralized the police and allows civilians to go over police actions, they don't want the job anymore.
They're down a couple hundred, about 500 cops, and they don't do any work anymore.
And, of course, we're out of time.
Hey, Scoop, do you think you'll get on that jury when Trump goes to court in D.C.?
Unfortunately, no, because the jury pool is going to be from the District of Columbia.
I live in the northern or eastern district of Virginia, which their federal courthouse is right across the river in Alexandria.
Unfortunately, we're not going to get a hung jury now.
We know it for sure.
Scoop isn't going to be there.
Hey, but folks, he's just getting warmed up tonight.
He's got a whole show of his own live tonight on the Liberty News Radio Network.
Scoop, getting in a little extra time tonight in our final segment.
Stay tuned.
Don't change the dial.
If you're listening live, don't click off.
Scoop's going to take it over for the next hour.
Continue where we're leaving off.
Thank you, Scoop.
Thank you, Ed Brodo.
Thank you, Keith Woods.
Thank you, everyone, for a successful first quarter.
