You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another live remote broadcast of TPC.
It's Saturday evening, November 4th, and this is my final trip of the year, the final show on the road, as it were.
We are on the road again in the rural South tonight at a meeting of the League of the South.
Had the opportunity, the honor really, to address the league meeting today, gave a talk, and over the next three hours, we are going to be bringing the other speakers who took to the podium, and we're going to be spending the majority of the show, if not, well, really, the entirety of it, on the situation in the Middle East.
And you're going to hear from Dr. Michael Hill, who is the chief of the League of the South, as you know, a former college professor, also author of two books on Celtic warfare.
Dr. Kevin McDonald will be here as well.
We have spent the day together.
Simon Roche, all the way from South Africa, will be back.
He is in the United States and in my presence as I speak.
And I can't wait to present that fine company to you.
And without further ado, we'll get to the first.
And the first two is listed, Dr. Michael Hill, the founder of our feast this evening.
Dr. Hill, it's great to be back with you.
Great to be back with league members tonight.
James, it's always great to be with you.
And one of the best speeches today was given by none other than James Edwards, the host of this great show.
Oh, I don't know about that.
You put me in some tough company.
That was a fine quartet of speakers, to be sure.
Oh, absolutely.
And yours truly, Michael Hill, Simon Roche, and Kevin McDonald.
You'll be hearing from them all tonight as we break down current events and headline news.
I got to say, Michael, though, it just, I mean, I knew this, of course, but I mean, imagine, ladies and gentlemen, if you can, if you can go back to your college years, imagine having Michael Hill or Kevin McDonald as your professor.
I mean, real students had that opportunity.
They don't make colleges like that anymore, I don't think.
No, I don't think Kevin or either one would get away for a day or two for teaching now with the things that we would be teaching these students.
But, hey, I bet the students would love it.
I tell you what, I bet they would.
I bet a lot of them would.
And that's what we're going to talk about.
I mean, let's talk about this very quickly.
Well, first, Michael, we're not going to give away the location.
But I'll tell you this.
I had the opportunity to drive in this weekend.
It was a most beautiful, really a magnificent drive through state highways across the South and seeing the leaves changing, autumn fully in the air.
It reminds you, Michael, of course, what we're fighting for when you go through these rural communities, and that's where we are tonight.
And we had a great turnout today.
Absolutely, we did.
We're in a nice rural community here that's beautiful this time of the year.
Great people, great hospitality.
Out in the country, in the rural areas and small towns is where our people are, and that's where we're going now.
And that's where we are tonight.
And many of them showed up today.
None of them showed out, but they did show up.
And we had a good time of fellowship and camaraderie and exchange of ideas and planning for the future and planning for future victories.
So let's just go down exactly, I mean, what we accomplished today or what the goals of the league were today, of course, with this event.
Well, we started having these one-day conferences back in July.
And we want to do this because we want to give everybody in the league a chance to come to see us speak and do the fellowship thing and not have to spend a lot of money staying in a hotel for two or three nights.
So we're going to be doing these all over the South, probably at least four a year.
Pop-up conferences, boutique conferences, if you will.
It's not the big national conference model that the other organizations have.
but smaller, very efficient, very well-run, tight meetings.
And I don't think there was an empty chair by the end of the afternoon today in the conference hall.
And it gives people a chance with the rising cost of everything, the cost of living, gas, travel, groceries, you name it, fast food.
You can't hardly go anywhere for a weekend for less than $1,000.
Certainly, you're not going to get it for less than $500.
So $500 to $1,000 just to go.
So you have more meetings, smaller meetings, without sacrificing the quality, without sacrificing the content.
It gives more people in the end a chance to come.
And it's cost-effective.
Well, that's true.
That's good leadership.
Another added bonus, too, James, is the fact that at one national conference a year, we might get six, seven speeches on videotape.
This way, we get about four per conference.
So if we have four conferences a year, we've got 16 videotapes, speeches out there on our website all over the place for millions of people to see.
That's right.
I mean, that's an ancillary added benefit and a takeaway from these things.
This is not just for the people that assembled, good of a group as it was, but through the fact that it was professionally filmed, it's going to be up on the internet, and it's going to find a place through various video streaming platforms to reach a far greater audience.
Yeah, and absolutely.
You think about putting out a speech by James Edwards or Kevin McDonnell or Simon Roche.
I mean, people are going to just go and eat that up.
I mean, that's the cream of the crop, brother.
Well, and of course, you too, my friend.
But yeah, I mean, Simon coming all the way, and I'm looking at Simon over here across the room right now, all the way from South Africa to be in the American South.
Absolutely.
This is not the first time he's done that either.
I tell you, you pulled him in from near and far, tither and yon, from Kevin McDonald and the Great Pacific Northwest, Simon Roach from about as far away as you can get in the world.
We had a couple guys come in from New York and New Jersey.
Yes.
Yeah.
You know, really good turnout.
It really was.
And it was a diverse turnout.
Can I use that word in the best sense of the word?
Well, let's talk a little bit about the content.
Four speeches, a very nice dinner, which is what we call lunch in the South, at a fine little mom-and-pop cafe there in the middle.
What did people that weren't here today miss?
What will they learn when they watch it on video?
Well, they're going to learn from you, basically, why the system is broken and can't be fixed.
They're going to learn from Simon Roche about what lessons South Africa can offer to the rest of the white world about preventing what is going on over there now.
And they learn from Kevin McDonald who the culprits are.
He is uniquely trained to deliver that message.
I mean, we don't want novices.
We don't want laymen.
We want people who've actually done the research.
The McDonald's written the best books on the Jew question.
Of course, people who disagree with him always call it pseudoscience.
It can't possibly be legitimate unless it fits the narrative.
Absolutely, but we know it is.
And then I just tried to sum up.
I just tried to copy what everybody else did.
Sum everything.
Nice summation.
Well, it was much more than that, brother.
But yeah, so that was some of the talks.
And we're actually going to have each of the speakers sort of just break down and condense their topic, a little made-for-radio presentation, if you will, throughout the night.
But again, we wanted to spend the first segment just letting you know we had a fantastic turnout at a League of the South event today, and we're broadcasting live remotely from a very charming Main Street USA rural southern community.
And this is what I wrote about in our book, Michael, the Honorable Cause.
It makes you, it reminds you what you're fighting for.
These are the towns that I grew up in, and it's really something to get out of town and realize how different even the South is between rural and urban.
Oh, absolutely, James.
And that's what I wrote about too in our book, about the organic nature of a movement like this.
I mean, it's going to come naturally from the people of the rural areas and small towns and where there's still southern culture.
It still exists.
It has not been watered down nearly to the extent as it has in the major cities in these communities.
The land that time forgot and thank God because that's progress, right?
It's getting progressively worse.
Well, not in towns like this.
We'll be back, and we're going to shift our focus to the Middle East for the majority of the show with these great fantastic men.
The Honorable Cause, a Free South, is a collection of 12 essays written by Southern Nationalist authors.
The book explores topics such as what is the Southern nation?
What is Southern nationalism?
And how can we achieve a free and independent dictionary cause answers questions on our own terms?
The book invites readers to understand for themselves why a free and independent diction is both preferable and possible.
The book pulls in some of the biggest producers of pro-South content, including James Edwards, the host and creator of The Political Cesspool, and Wilson Smith, author of Charlottesville Untoad, Arkansas congressional candidate and activist Neil Kumar,
host and creator of the dissident mama podcast, Rebecca Dillingham, author of A Walk in the Park, My Charlottesville Story, Identity Dictions, Patrick Martin, and yours truly, Michael Hill, founder and president of the League of the South, as well as several other authors.
The Honorable Cause is available now at Amazon.com.
Why does the left lie constantly?
Because they get spiritual power from lying.
The lies come from Satan, the father of lies.
John 8, 44.
Here's how the political lying process works.
Satan provides the beast with a lie.
Then, the more they use the lie, the more they reproduce the lie, the more spiritual power they get.
Now, look, the media is a lie multiplier.
And this multiplication gives more evil spiritual power to the beast.
That power protects the cells of the beast from prosecution.
Why isn't Hillary in prison?
She is protected.
We must restore our national relationship with God.
Truth is sacred in the kingdom.
And the government shall be upon his shoulder.
Isaiah 9, 6.
A message from Christ Kingdom Ministries.
Welcome back, everybody.
If we can give you a better trio than this, maybe we can match it.
We've got a lot of good guests on our roster, but we certainly can't top it.
We can't exceed the level of quality we're bringing you tonight when you hear from people like Michael Hill, Kevin McDonald, Simon Roche, and others.
Now, this being a League of the South meeting, by the way, Michael, plug the website.
How can people join?
Surely there's nobody listening that's not a member.
But if you are, we'll help you correct that mistake.
Absolutely.
We have a new website that's going up, professionally done, www.leagueofthesouth.com, and you'll get to see that new website that's in progress.
Leagueofthesouth.com.
Please do join up.
And so you'd be thinking with this being League of the South event, it's all going to be a southern-oriented show, and that would be fine.
We do a lot of those throughout the year, certainly during the month of April, but throughout the year as well.
But that's not what our primary focus is going to be on tonight.
Our southern gaze is going to be cast across the sea and across the continents, all the way to the Middle East.
And we're going to be talking a lot about that tonight with these esteemed guests of ours.
But, Michael, in my talk today, I had mentioned what's happening on the base level of the Republican Party, the Trump voter, the average white American, middle American, and why there are reasons for optimism there and why a lot of millions of people are beginning to have this nascent awareness and understanding of our issues up to and including secession and national divorce.
And we cited some statistics and some positive trends there.
So that's all good news.
And then you look at what's going on in the Republican Party vis-a-vis Israel and Gaza, and it couldn't be more disturbing.
So putting those on a balance, where do we stand?
Is it good?
Is it bad?
Is it somewhere in the middle?
Where are our people standing tonight with regards to the present situation?
James, I think in the long run, it's going to be all for the good because we've said in the league for 30 years almost that one of the best things that can happen in this country is the destruction of the GOP.
And, you know, the Republicans have done a good job sometime of talking on issues, but when it comes down to it, they do what they always do.
They bail out on us and they support the elites.
And the elite position is supporting Israel pretty much in anything it does.
So you have these Republicans who pose and preen that, you know, oh, we're not going to support, you know, foreign wars and Ukraine, Israel, whatever.
But when it comes down to it, as you so eloquently put it today, the Israelis or the Jews pull that leash tight on these Republicans and they get what they want.
Well, I am telling you that the Israel lobby gave the House GOP whiplash in the last couple of weeks because you go back not even a month ago, and I thought one of the primary reasons that they yanked McCarthy out of the speakership was because they didn't want to send more money to aid these foreign entanglements.
The House GOP, the GOP base, was looking like they wanted to withhold support for Ukraine, which was a good thing.
That's something that we can agree with.
And then, well, if we're not going to support that foreign entanglement, why in the world would we, how does it make sense?
How is it consistent with your thought process to say the first thing we do now with this Mike Johnson guy, and there's a lot we can say about him, this Mike Johnson guy who's the new Speaker of the House, the first thing he does is pledge his loyalty to Israel and $15 billion, the first thing they vote on to aid Israel's basically genocide of Gaza, doesn't really add up or does it?
No, it doesn't add.
Well, it really does add up if you look at the Republican.
It depends on how you look at it.
Exactly.
If you see the Republican Party for what it really is, you know, they are willing to spend, what, $15 billion initially, and that won't be it.
You know, $15 is just starting.
But I think what did Trump want?
$5 billion for a wall on the southern border?
So we're willing to give three times as much initially to Israel for a war that we don't know which direction.
Within a day.
It took a matter of hours of Mike Johnson being installed there before they pushed that through.
Yeah, exactly.
But we can't get a wall built for one-third that amount.
It's a lot of ins and a lot of outs, as if anybody's ever seen the Big Lebowski.
A lot of ins, a lot of outs.
Absolutely.
Because the Democrats now, because this same lobby has been in favor of bombing the world, inviting the world, or just by any means necessary, getting non-whites, third world people into this country to change the demographic that is the great replacement.
It's not a theory.
It's a fact.
But now, it's sort of like Frankenstein's monster.
These people that they've imported don't share the same view about Israel as a lot of white evangelicals do.
They don't have the guilt, and they're not for it.
And in this one instance, the Democrats are far and away superior to the Republicans.
I asked Sam Dixon, I said, who would be better off with the Speaker of the House, Elon O'Marr or Micah Johnson?
Yeah, I'm not sure either one of them are going to do white people any good.
One of them wouldn't send 15 billion to Israel.
That's exactly right.
But see, the Democrats hate white people, and they bring all the blacks and browns in as immigrants.
But the Republicans love Jews.
So we white folks are just caught in the middle of this.
Well, a lot of white folks don't understand that, though, because you've had this dispensationalism and Christian Zionism.
And that is a relatively new phenomenon.
I mean, I think people who were born after me, they can only but look at the church or our faith and gag because they know it only is this.
But I mean, that wasn't something that had infected the blood of Christianity up until the last generation or two.
I mean, the last 50, 60, 70 years.
Yeah, I think that's true post-World War II.
Right.
Well, because, of course, Israel wasn't even a state until then.
That's exactly right.
But ever since 1948, this has been something that has infected the evangelical movement.
And they see the Jews and the modern state of Israel as the chosen of God.
And until we get over that, we're never going to get this problem solved.
Although, again, another interesting in and out is that Christianity has been so attacked and so ridiculed by our elites that, you know, of course, church membership has dwindled.
And I think it is true that dispensationalism and Christian Zionism is dying away with Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and, you know, soon-to-be John Hagee, whatever he goes.
I mean, let's hope so.
But, I mean, so a lot of people aren't Christians.
But if you look at, and we cited this recently, if you look at the number of people supporting Israel, it's the oldest demographic is like 70-30, and the youngest demographic is like 30-70.
I'm just rough, rough, those are rough numbers.
But the people of fighting age that would have to go fight Iran or fight in this regional or maybe even a world war on behalf of Israel because you're certainly not fighting for America's vital interests.
They're checked out.
Oh, yeah.
So I don't know.
How are you going to get those people to fight for Iran?
I don't think you're going to get them to fight in favor of Israel in any war like that.
So I think the Jews have really got themselves in a conundrum here because they've sponsored all of this black and brown.
And the blacks and browns are not beholden to them like whites are.
Like white Christians are.
No, absolutely not.
So they're being bitten by their own policy here.
But it's interesting.
You could use the Captain Ahab analogy here, and that is they so want to kill Moby Dick, which is white Christians, that they may end up harming themselves as well.
And look, I don't want anybody harmed.
I don't have any problem saying this.
I look at what they have done in this indiscriminate bombing campaign of Gaza.
I've seen those kids.
The Arabs have never been a friend of white Christians either throughout the history of Europe.
But I see this stuff, and if you have an ounce of humanity, your heart breaks to see these sites.
I don't want it to happen to little Jewish kids either.
This is just not our fight.
This is not our fight.
Yeah, bottom line, James, that's it.
It's not America's fight.
And we in the League of the South always like to stress it's not the South's fight.
We don't want our southern men and even women shedding any blood or spending any of our tax money on a fight that isn't ours.
Well, this is it, Michael.
I mean, there's always going to be some injustice in the world that you could find to go in and involve yourself in if you're a busybody do-gooder.
Absolutely.
But I have to look after my family first.
I can't solve the rest of the world's problems because I've got to safeguard.
I've got to take care of my own.
And people keep telling us, though, Israel is our greatest ally, our greatest ally.
We've got to stay with our greatest ally.
They're our only ally.
What have they done for us?
Okay.
What have they done for us?
Okay, let me ask your audience out there.
Just one thing, not two, not three.
One thing that Israel has done for America since 1948.
And I'm waiting.
That is to our benefit.
They've done a lot.
They've actually done a lot.
Done.
It's done for us.
Not to us.
That has been to our benefit.
Absolutely.
Nothing.
I mean, what do we get in exchange for the foreign aid for this $15 billion that they're trying to send them for the weaponry, the advanced system, you know, technology that they've got over there?
What are you getting from?
We get pulled into their wars in the middle.
And it's a good deal for them.
And if I was them, I would probably do the same thing.
We get spied on.
Our technologies get sold to China.
This is what we get from Israel.
But they keep saying it's our greatest ally, but it's unqualified.
They never explained, you know, this is why they're our greatest ally.
If you say something over and over and over again like that, some people.
Has anybody ever tried to explain it, though, that you've heard in the mainstream media without the music plan?
No.
We'll ponder that question.
We'll ponder that question.
And we're going to bring Dr. Kevin McDonald on.
Michael Hill's going to take a quick break.
Kevin McDonald, Simon Roche later, and then we're going to have a roundtable with everybody before the show ends.
We'll let these fantastic guests talk with each other on the air.
Stay tuned.

President Biden's chief diplomat is advocating for humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
While visiting Tel Aviv Friday, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken urged a temporary halt to allow for the release of hostages held by Hamas and for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.
We need to do more to protect Palestinian civilians.
We've been clear that as Israel conducts its campaign to defeat Hamas, how it does so matters.
It matters because it's the right and lawful thing to do.
Blinken underscored that Israel has the right to self-defense, but also called for further efforts to minimize civilian casualties in its airstrikes on Gaza.
The death toll has risen to at least 157 people following an earthquake on Friday night in Nepal.
The U.S. Geological Survey says a 5.6 magnitude quake shook the northwestern part of the country just before midnight local time.
About 170 people were injured in the quake, which caused landslides in the mountainous country.
Rescuers are searching the mountain villages, most of which can only be reached on foot, for more victims.
And officials say the death toll is expected to rise.
The Supreme Court is currently reviewing a challenge to the federal prohibition on bump stocks, which are devices designed to enhance the firing rate of semi-automatic rifles.
This decision coincides with a recent mass shooting in Maine, prompting the justices to re-examine a significant 2022 ruling concerning the Second Amendment that broadened gun rights nationwide.
Traffic is about to get a little bit worse in New York City, if that's even possible.

Welcome back, everybody.
From one distinguished gentleman and scholar to the next, from Dr. Hill to Kevin MacDonald we go.
Now, I could introduce Kevin.
I could give you his CV, but you don't need that after all these years.
I mean, Kevin, you are, as I always like to mention, when we have one of the top three on, one of the top three most interviewed guests in the history of the radio program.
So surely everybody tuned in tonight knows you and loves you as I do.
So, you know, Kevin, I think I've seen you more this year than I've seen most members of my family.
It seems like every month we've seen, we've run into each other on the circuit.
I hope that's a good sign.
No, it's a very good thing.
I certainly enjoyed it.
Where have we been this year?
We've been to Texas a couple of times.
I had a lot of good times.
But so you gave a speech today.
Well received.
And I have heard a lot of your speeches.
And this one was animated.
I can't say this one was good because they're all good, but I really enjoyed what you had to say today and the way the treatment you gave it.
So if you could, before we continue on with our discussion, it was interesting for a southern-themed meeting that three of the speakers spoke on the Middle East primarily, and I mentioned it.
But tell us what you talked about.
Well, given the situation in Gaza and everything, I did feel that that was what I should talk about.
It's sort of up my alley and raises a lot of issues.
I emphasized the financial power of the Jewish community and what it's doing right now.
And you got these hedge fund guys doxing people and preventing them from getting jobs or even at these prestigious law firms.
And in general, inhibiting free speech.
And it should be obvious by now that Jewish organizations do not feel interested in free speech anymore.
They used to be very interested in free speech back in the 1950s.
You mentioned that today, and that was Prescient.
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, it's the ADL.
It's the NGOs, all these left-wing NGOs that are promoting immigration here.
For example, you got APAC with the Israel lobby and all that.
It's very effective.
The ADL themselves get $62 million a year.
And so it's a full court press, as it always is, with Jewish activism.
And ultimately, it does have to do with Jewish wealth.
And I also talked about the Republican Jewish Coalition, which just met in Las Vegas.
And the star of the show apparently was Nikki Haley, because she is completely bound to Israel.
And yeah, she's like an absolute split.
We haven't mentioned this yet because last week we took a momentary departure to celebrate 19 years on the air.
And last week was our 19th anniversary.
19 years, if you can believe it.
And otherwise, we would have covered that.
So I'm glad you brought that up because that had happened last week.
But it was really just a parade of every Republican presidential candidate basically trying to compete with one another about who could be the most subservient to Israel.
And Donald Trump fell right in line with that.
I mean, he might, you say Nikki Haley was the most subservient.
I mean, Donald Trump hurt for the money.
But they were all doing it, though.
If you want, ladies and gentlemen, a recap of that, go to our friend Brad Griffin's website, occidentaldescent.com, and he has basically a little highlight reel or lowlight reel, as it were, of each of these people.
It was all about fealty and prostrating yourself before the Israel lobby.
The reality is that even though Trump did prostrate himself, the Republican Jewish Coalition people don't trust him, really.
They don't want him.
They prefer Haley.
Because Trump's had this strong isolationist streak.
They hate isolation.
Now, he did say he would go to war for them there at the thing.
But as you're right, because he also says some things occasionally that white people like, he's not their favorite.
Exactly.
I mean, he's been in favor of curbing legal immigration and building the wall and all that.
Brussels and Paris aren't the same anymore.
And obviously, those are things that do not appeal to Jews.
And the neocons just went crazy in 2016.
You had all this TV things, but also all the neocon publications trumpeting the idea that he was a second coming of Hitler and the whole thing.
It was just outrageous.
Well, do you agree with me, Kevin?
And feel free to disagree because your learned opinion is certainly more than mine, worth more than mine, as I surveyed the political landscape.
But my takeaway, to this point, synopsis on Trump was he has inadvertently helped us because the system overreacted so much to the threat that they believed or pretended to believe that he posed that he has done more to facilitate a white awakening on racial issues and issues like identity and even the potential for secession than any of our champions ever could have done.
Trump is something we needed, and it's an absolute break in American politics because what was going to happen there in 2016 was Jeff Bush and clear Hillary Clinton.
I've seen that movie before.
Just hang me from a rope with that.
And she would have walked all over him.
I mean, he loses just like the old man lost to the mail Clinton.
Yeah, yeah.
So it was, you know, that's what we were faced with, was this sort of consensus, middle of the road, you know, rhino Republicans and liberal Democrats getting together, and who cares who wins?
You don't care anymore.
But, you know, Trump really put a wrench in all that, and they spent the whole four years going after him.
Oh, one investigation after another, two impeachments.
And everything racist, Nazi, fascist.
He cures cancer.
He walks on water.
The headline is he's a fascist.
He's a Nazi.
You know, that's it.
And people got numb to it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And I also talked about Nikki Haley.
You're getting money from Jewish organizations.
You know, her family, she's now worth $8 million.
When she started out, she was worth $100,000, $200,000.
Her parents were deeply in debt.
So she is completely beholden to the Israel lobby.
And it's just going to get, you know, there's nothing she wouldn't do for them.
Well, I mean, AIPAC is the biggest campaign contributor to just about everybody in Congress, it seems.
So, I mean, I get it.
Certainly, I believe it's been documented, and correct me if I'm wrong.
And if we're wrong, unlike the establishment press, if I'm wrong about something, I'll come back next week and offer you a clarification.
But I believe that APAC is the biggest donor to Mike Johnson, the new Speaker of the House, this anonymous guy who, I mean, the first thing he does when he comes in is that over the last two weeks, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives under Speaker Mike Johnson has voted to send $1.3 billion to Israel, condemn college students for calling a ceasefire in Gaza as woke.
They're woke if they want a ceasefire in Gaza, authorize a war with Iran on the grounds that it has weapons of mass destruction, and give Israel a war guarantee like the one that was given to Poland that caused World War II.
He seems to be completely in the bag for Israel.
I'm not sure all his motivations, he seems like he's an evangelical.
I guess that's part of it.
But it's sad because any politician, they realize if they want a career in politics, they've got to go along with this.
But even as a Christian, Kevin, if you tell me that an evangelical is elevated to that position, I say, God help us.
It's so true.
It is so true.
Well, this kind of Christian, because Christians weren't like that before 1948.
I mean, they couldn't have been.
And that's one of the points I made.
Anti-Semitism was very common in the 1920s and 1930s.
You had people like Father Coughlin, Henry Ford, huge national following.
Charles Lindbergh.
Yeah, and Charles Lindbergh, who was said to be an anti-Semite simply for saying the truth, that Jews are one of the groups trying to get us into World War II.
Where was the lie in that?
And that's the thing.
I mean, let's talk.
What is the definition of an anti-Semite?
How do you define that?
I understand that we're called that, but what does that mean?
It means there's something that Jews don't like.
It's really what it is.
I mean, it's something that contravenes what they see as their interests.
And that's a simple explanation, but it works every time.
They don't have any principles.
I guess people mean, what people think it means is that you have an irrational hatred for them just because they're Jewish.
You want to kill them.
You want to put them in a concentration camp just because they're Jewish.
But it couldn't possibly mean what it actually means is that you have a legitimate disagreement with them.
You disagree with them.
You can't.
And that is the bottom line.
I mean, I've been through this so many times.
He's on the faculty email list and various social media wars and everything, but it's like they're oblivious to it all.
And even now, like I did talk about the faculty email list I'm still on at the university.
I'm retired for like nine years now.
But they go at it now.
And these Jews.
No, they didn't do that.
Did they do that 10 years ago when you were still a tenured professor?
They went after me.
No, they went after you, but did they go after you?
I was the only one.
And now you got all these ethnic studies professors and some liberals who really understand that Israel is not the good guy here and that American Jews are not the nice people.
I want to continue this.
Obviously, we're going to continue this conversation, but I want to continue on this exact point when we come back about what's going on on college campuses and how you would view that as a former college professor at a very major university, California State University, Long Beach.
We'll be right back with the good professor and my dear friend Kevin McDonald right after this.
Stay tuned.

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 It's an embarrasses of riches tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm sitting here like, you ever watch the old DuckTales cartoons when Uncle Scrooge would just jump into this Olympic-sized swimming pool of gold coins?
Oh, yeah.
That's what I feel like tonight.
I grow up with that.
That's what I feel like tonight when I'm with not just on the radio with me, but sitting inches from me, a foot away is Kevin McDonald.
We're sitting here together and Dr. Michael Hill earlier.
You're going to hear from Simon Roche from South Africa.
And then in the third hour, we're going to have a lot of fun because we're going to pair them up together.
I'm going to step out, seed my mic, and let our guests have a discussion amongst one another, and we'll just see where it goes.
It's going to be fantastic.
But anyway, Kevin, back to what we were talking about earlier.
You were breaking down some of the topics of your talk today at the meeting.
And I want to ask you to continue to do that.
But before we do, as a former college professor, have you found it interesting that there is so much support on the college campuses for the Palestinians?
Or at least, you know, that protests and demonstrations that wouldn't benefit Jewish interests.
Yeah, and it is a little surprising, but at the same time, you know, that it's become, you know, on the left, you see so much more of this.
And, you know, I think it's because, you know, obviously, obviously, Israel is oppressing the Palestinians.
And you've got an apartheid state over there.
It's indefensible morally.
And you just can't deny that.
Well, how do you reckon this?
How do you reconcile this, I guess, should be the question.
Here we have the Democrats, who I don't think we have hardly any area of agreement with for the most part.
And then you have the Republicans, which on the base level, we have certainly more.
But on one of the most fundamental issues, one of the most important issues, maybe the most important issues, the Democrats are getting it right, and the Republicans couldn't be more wrong.
How's that happening?
Well, you've got to realize that, first of all, it's not a majority of Democrats.
I mean, there are 15 or 16 in the House.
No, no.
I mean, as far as the vote on the funding of Israel, I've got the numbers here, but it was almost every Republican voted for it, and almost every Democrat voted against it.
With regards to the funding of Israel, yes.
When was that?
Jesus.
That was here just this here.
Let me look.
I don't want to be wrong now, but with regard to the funding of the $14.3 billion, I believe, well, I'll look it up.
Somebody send me an email.
I'm here on the road, but I've got it here somewhere.
I saw that in a note.
I hope I didn't misread it.
Now, with regards to supporting a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, that passed 396 to 23.
But I think the funding of the war that Mike Johnson wanted didn't.
But I actually have a picture.
Continue on, Doctor, and I'll find that.
Yeah, well, I think it's very important for Jewish success or Jewish power to establish the image as a morally superior group.
They've always done that.
And, you know, you talk about the ADL.
It's always about tolerance and we're the good guys and we're fighting hate and all that.
But it's hard for them to really square the circle on this.
I mean, it's been very clear that Israel's not the good guy here.
And it's hard to defend what they have done to the Palestinians.
I mean, the idea that Gaza is an open-air prison and all that.
And I noticed, like I was talking about, the faculty email is when this comes up, now you've got ethnic studies professors, you've got other people from outside the university and faculty organizations and so on.
They're condemning Israel.
And when they do that, they always talk about the history, the context.
They talk about what's going on in Gaza with the open-air prison idea, the oppression of the West Bank Palestinians and all that.
And it's pretty clear that they do not have the moral high ground here.
All right, so our production assistant here just gave me, I was looking for it.
I took a screenshot of it, my friend, and I had it.
But he's got it right here.
This is from The Hill.
So we'll take their word for it.
But that 12 Democrats, 12 out of all the Democrats in Congress, joined the majority of House Republicans to vote in favor of the $14.3 billion aid package.
That's what I thought I remembered.
It was almost all Republicans, but all of the Democrats voted against it except for 12.
Thank you.
I'm very surprised at that.
Well, that was just the $14.3 billion.
But yeah, but I mean, I'm just there is that is a streak within the I mean, you know, Elon O'Marr, people like that.
I mean, I get it.
You get it.
You think it's sort of like just the squad.
But on that, it was all but only 12 voted with the Republicans to fund that.
Now, when it came down to this, and I've got this here too, this is probably what you're talking about par for the course.
Politico headline reads, House lawmakers approved a resolution condemning the support of terrorist organizations and anti-Semitism on college campuses on a 396 to 23 bipartisan vote.
Well, that sounds good, but who's a terrorist?
What is an anti-Semite?
You know, I don't understand.
Are you talking terrorists like the people who are giving out flyers?
You know, we were talking about this just before the show.
In the state of Georgia, right now, just this week, guys who were, I don't know these guys.
I don't know the organization.
It's called the Goyam Defense League, but they are going, they have been going door to door, leaving flyers, and they're going to prison now for that.
Now, you can say, I don't know what the content of the flyers were.
I don't know if it was tacky or what, but it doesn't matter.
That is ironclad First Amendment.
You can print a flyer and you can distribute a flyer.
If it's not calling for violence, if it's not agitating for anything illegal, that is First Amendment.
And it's not just that they're getting a fine or a citation for littering or something like that.
They're actually going to prison.
They're going to prison for, I think, 30 days.
But they are, or jail.
I guess you would go to jail for 30 days.
Prison is a longer sentence.
But they're going to jail for 30 days.
They've got to stay 30 days for distributing flyers.
First Amendment.
This is happening in Republican states of Georgia and Florida.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's sort of like lawfare where you could fight that.
It's going to cost you an awful lot of money.
And you say it was the First Amendment violation.
Oh, you were right about that, but the judicial system is way out there now.
It's not on our side.
I think that's a test.
I think we know.
Well, let's talk about that very quickly.
I want you to finish giving a treatment of your talk.
We have about five minutes, and then we're going to have you back later.
I'm going to be in prison this time next year.
I worry about that.
What do we look like a year from now?
Because a year from now, whatever election, or will we even have an election?
I don't think that's hyperbole anymore.
It's not.
And I think we have to realize that our country is hopelessly polarized and that we are heading to some kind of crisis.
And I think a lot of people, and I'm just talking to people around here, a lot of people think that this is heading to some kind of Armageddon end times kind of scenario where anything from Civil War to no election to martial law is all going to be on the table.
And certainly the Democrats have shown very clearly that they favor authoritarian methods of everything.
I mean, and I do think that if assuming Trump's elected, is nominated, I think that the Democrats will not let him win, lie, cheat, steal, assassinate, whatever it takes.
They are absolutely determined that that's not going to happen.
And so, yeah, we're headed to a crisis because half the country is going to think that's outrageous, and it is.
How do you reconcile that?
I mean, but this is, I think what they're betting on, and it's a decent bet, that the disaffected majority or the disaffected conservative, the Trump voters, will just eat it and go back to work because that's what we've always done.
Well he's done that, but I don't know.
We'll see.
They're going to be very, very angry.
And I just don't know.
And I don't think that we can predict exactly what's going to happen.
Trump himself saying that there's no way he can get a fair trial in New York or Washington, D.C. or Atlanta.
Now, why can't he in those jurisdictions?
Pretty obvious.
Democrat jurisdictions.
A lot of non-white jurors and things.
The judges are just completely on the left.
So that's what's happening.
The one in D.C. is a Jamaican, I think, immigrant.
That's right.
Woman?
That's right.
It's going to be presiding over a trial that could determine whether or not the most recently former president and the frontrunner for the current election is going to go to prison.
And if he goes to prison, what kind of constitutional crisis is that if he wins?
Which is going to be hard for him to win.
But if he did, supposedly he's leading the polls right now.
And they slap all these fines, these gag orders on him.
He doesn't even have to talk about the First Amendment.
He doesn't even have it.
Well, that's right.
And if the frontrunner for the presidency and a former president can't get a fair trial, what hope do we have?
What hope do we have?
What hope does the Goyem Defense League have?
Well, they're going to prison.
I don't guess they have any, or jail.
Excuse me.
Anything else, Kevin?
We're going to bring you back a little later on in the program.
We've got about two minutes left.
Anything else from your speech?
Any takeaways you'd like to share with the audience who couldn't enjoy it as we did?
Well, one of the big points is simply that Jews have been able to establish this image of themselves as moral paragons.
And it's very important in Western cultures.
In Western cultures, we're not into kinship like other cultures.
And we are unique in all the world.
And reputation is everything for us.
We want to be good people.
We want to have a good reputation in the community.
But now the community standards are made by the media, which is dominated by these alien interests.
Whereas back in the 1920s and 30s, it was not dominated by those interests.
It was dominated by religious, patriotic groups, and so on.
Now it is not.
It is hopelessly skewed towards the attitudes of the mainstream Jewish community.
That's the bottom line.
You look at what the, you know, most Jews vote, 70% of Jews vote for Democrats.
The ones who vote Republicans are basically rhinos.
And so that's the idea.
That's the moral message that we get.
If you want a good reputation, you go along with it.
And if you don't, it's at your own peril.
You will be docked.
Don't you know.
You lose your...
Don't you lose your job, lose your family, everything.
Well, that's why you're such a hero to me and to so many people listening, Kevin.
No, listen, you had the position.
You had the thing that so many people spend a life trying to attain, but you served a higher calling.
You served the truth.
You served your community.
You served your people.
And it was a price that so few people are willing to pay.
And that is why we love you.
I appreciate it.
Well, I do appreciate you.
And we'll hear from you again a little bit more tonight.
But folks, listen, you can disagree with us.
As Simon and Garfunkel said, one of our favorite Jewish duos, I guess.
You can laugh about it.
You can shout about it.
But what we're saying, we believe is true.
And our motivation here is truth.
And it is not coming from hatred.
If you want to call the truth anti-Semitic, you want to call truth-tellers anti-Semitic, then I guess that's what we are.
