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.
This is it, ladies and gentlemen.
The time has come.
The final hour of the final show of a fantastic broadcasting year, 2022.
We've got the designated hitter on deck.
Brad Griffin is the man for predictions.
And not only does he offer them every year at occidentaldescent.com, he even comes back and lets you know how they panned out.
And I was just talking with Brad.
Well, he hints more than he misses, that's for sure.
And I was just talking with Brad about all of the fellow travelers, all of the people who are of such like mind on the issues, having such a wide variety of opinions tonight on how 2024 is going to go.
It's been very interesting to hear.
But now, Brad, who's featured at Occidental Descent, you need to go read right now.
Well, if you're at home, maybe you can read along.
If you're driving, wait till you get home.
OccidentalDescent.com 2024 predictions.
He's going to walk us through them here live on the radio right now.
Brad, great to have you back and early, happy new year, belated Merry Christmas.
Oh, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks for having me, James.
Appreciate it.
Well, we couldn't do a New Year's show, a prediction show, a forecast show without you.
We are just really, I would say, two days away if you're listening live, but really just hours away from 2024.
It's going to be a year unlike any other, even with all that we've been through.
We haven't been through anything like what's about to come.
And you've given us 17 bullet points in Occidental Descent.
Let's start with number one.
Take it away.
Give us the Cliff's notes.
Yeah, Trump wins the primary.
There's not going to be any mischief.
No one's going to try to steal it from them.
He just wins the primary outright in a walk.
That's number one.
Abbreviated.
Who's the VP?
You're really getting ahead of yourself.
That's a good one.
I hadn't considered that one.
I knew I was missing something.
I don't know.
I don't think that dauntless defender of Southern heritage, Nikki Hagley, would he?
Well, you know, Don Trunt Jr., who famously has appeared on, been interviewed by yours truly, said that he would never allow his dad to pick Haley.
Who knows what's going on there?
But that goes back to a friend of ours who said that he has this theory about the deep state, that there's warring factions even within the deep state, that some want to take Trump out outright.
Some want to neutralize him by putting someone like Haley as his VP, as happy with Reagan and Bush.
Who knows?
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Let's go to number two.
I mean, because this is true, and I've talked about this, of course.
Brad is my unofficial speech writer.
He just writes so much stuff that I agree with that.
He puts it in such a way, why not just speak it?
I couldn't improve upon it, and so I've— It's not plagiarism.
Well, no, no, no.
No, it's plagiarism if you don't give attribution.
That's what I said.
Dr. King didn't give attribution.
I always do.
It's Brad Griffin.
Brad Griffin did this.
But the whole thing about the Republican Party of old, Trump has taken a wrecking ball to that.
And that's number two.
He finishes remaking the Republican Party in his image.
What do you mean by that, Brad?
I mean, what I mean by, I mean, if you look at over the long haul, I mean, since all this started in 2015, I mean, he has systematically removed all his critics and all his opposition in the Republican Party.
Paul Ryan's gone.
Liz Cheney's gone.
Adam Kinser.
Kevin McCarthy.
Well, Kevin McCarthy was one of his licks bills, but Mitt Romney was really the last domino to fall.
And now even people who want to be Trumpism without Trump, like Ron DeSantis, who's going to get destroyed in the primary and drop out after Iowa.
I mean, he's completely, he has complete total control of the Republican Party, at least for the next year, assuming he makes it.
Doesn't get killed, right?
Or put it to president.
We'll get to that.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
But the situation in Colorado, and Keith, you and I were talking about this in Colorado, the Colorado Supreme Court said he couldn't run on the ballot.
Then they sort of came back and said, yeah, we're just kidding.
And then Maine throws him off the ballot.
And then there's other states that have already ruled that he can run.
This is going to come to the Supreme Court, Brad.
This is number three on your list.
It's a train wreck.
What's the Supreme Court?
Yeah, it's a train wreck.
And the Supreme Court is going to allow the voters to decide the election.
They're not going to make such a huge consequential decision on the basis of somebody's armchair argument in the Atlantic.
Well, you know, they should have done it before, and they didn't do it in the last election.
But if they don't do it now, their history, the first thing the Democrats are going to do if they get back in there is pack the Supreme Court and, you know, the people that sit on there will be just, you know, facing the crowd.
Well, Brad, what do you think about that?
Well, there'll be a lot of Katanjay Brown Jacksons if the Democrats can take full control of the system.
But what do you think about this whole thing?
I mean, this joke where they're defending democracy by taking the most anti-democratic actions we've ever seen by throwing off the big people's choice from the ballot.
Yeah, that's the joke.
And one of the reasons I came to the conclusion I did is it just does not seem to be working for them.
I mean, after everything they've done, all the convictions, all the arrests, all the indictments, Trump is just, you know, dominating in his rolling along.
Yeah, he just, they just water goes off him like off a duck's back, and he just gaining momentum.
He's been a self-fulfilling prophecy, right, Brad?
I mean, because we'll get to your Moby Dick Captain Ahab analogy in a second, but what they've done has enabled him in ways that he could have never done for himself.
Oh, absolutely.
By confirming his narrative.
You see, it's not so much Trump.
It's the fact that there's a huge number of voters out there who don't really participate in elections because they believe the system is rigged.
And that's Trump's whole message this time.
The system is rigged.
I'm a victim.
I'm being persecuted.
It's a witch hunt.
The whole system's against you.
I'm going to have revenge on all these people.
That's the sum of his entire message.
And it's radical, just like it was in 2016.
And he got elected in 2016.
And now, you know, after the CAG and the CAG era with All those black rappers and all that stuff.
He's back on message, I think, and it's really working out for him.
The Democrats have, you know, have proven it, you know.
I mean, it's hard to say he's not a victim at this point.
It's all that's happened.
All right.
So, so far, we have covered at occidentaldescent.com.
You can read along.
Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination.
He finishes remaking the Republican Party in his image.
The Supreme Court's going to rule that he is eligible to run for president.
Now, number four, Joe Biden remains deeply unpopular.
So I think I read that three presidents who were nearly as unpopular as him failed to win reelection, and he's even worse off than they were in the polls at this time.
They didn't have cheating on their side.
Well, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe not.
But so between student loan debt that you write about, Brad, between the economy, between Israel, you don't see Biden having gaining a full head of theme here.
I mean, what could happen that could save him?
I mean, prices aren't going to come down.
Ukraine is not going to win the war.
There's nothing, are they going to find another document and charge Trump with another document or have a salacious sex scandal civil suit like Netanyahu's not going to start in the NPSN?
No, Netanyahu's gone next year.
Also, what was I going to say?
Where was I going with this?
Yeah, there's no, the Supreme Court isn't considering anything which could be a curveball.
For example, I thought the Supreme Court would kind of hedge in 2022, not over Turn Row, but they went, you know, they ripped the bandaid off.
And there's nothing else like that that could happen again, in my view, that could really change the trajectory where we're at.
I don't see it.
Okay, now let's get to this.
Because you just mentioned it in past.
The two regional wars that could potentially evolve into something greater than that.
Will they be false flag wars?
Well, I mean, these are real wars right now.
And number five and number six at occidentaldescent.com, Brad Griffin's 2024 predictions.
Let's talk about Ukraine has a bad year.
Now, Zelensky came back to D.C. with hat in hand, didn't get the bag this time, and it seems as though time is running out.
Yeah, they've been telling him, oh, we got you.
Don't worry.
Wait to the new year.
But, you know, I mean, my view of the Ukraine aid is that, you know, it doesn't even really matter if they get it or not because, I mean, look out, I mean, look how much they got before and look where they're at now.
And, you know, a whole generation of Ukrainian men have been killed off.
And they're, you know, getting ready to draft 40-year-olds and 50-year-olds.
So, I mean, even if they have the aid, it's not going to do them any good.
They're going to lose.
It's only a matter of time, how long it takes, whether it's a total collapse next year, whether Russia breaks through.
And Russia is just growing stronger because, you know, a war of attrition favors Russia.
It's so much bigger, such a larger population, just more at stake for Russia.
And it seems like they were always just waiting for Western interest to wane in terms of the feedback.
And it's going to happen.
It's going to happen.
It's happening.
That's my Ukraine.
Ukraine loses.
It's just a matter of time.
So I think if I read correctly, and you read something different in every article, of course, because Western media or Jewish media, who's to say what's real?
But apparently Russia has taken about 17% of Ukraine.
That's all they want.
Well, that's it.
And then for them not to be NATO.
But it looks like Putin has played this to his favor.
He was waiting out the instant backlash.
Let me say this in response to that, though.
America had war fatigue and didn't want to get involved in World War I, but they got us involved in World War I. Ditto for World War II.
They got us involved in World War II.
You never count us out.
Don't ever count us out.
It's a possibility something like that could happen.
And I was doing the same thing last year, and it didn't happen.
Well, very quickly on this, though, Putin is up for re-election in March.
I don't know how many people realize that.
It's just like, I mean, Clinton's already announced.
It's just a formality, and there's no doubt about it.
He's going to be re-elected.
Whereas here in the States, Brad, you know, this whole thing kicks off the presidential election cycle.
Well, they've actually been campaigning for a year already, but the official voting starts two weeks from now in Iowa.
The Iowa caucuses start in two weeks, and that will, from mid-January to the first week of November, that is one hell of a campaign.
That is a lot different than what Putin's facing.
Yeah, we've never really seen a primary campaign like this with a debate of all the second place, third place, fourth place losers, and the main candidate is not on stage, and he's just crushing everybody to the polls.
I want to get to that one when you wrote about the debates.
This is very interesting.
We'll get to that.
Let's first finish what Brad writes at occidentaldescent.com.
One of the few websites I go to every day, ladies and gentlemen, every day.
Even when he's not blogging, I'm like, where are you, Brad?
I need you.
Every day, occidentaldescent.com.
But Israel goes to war with Hezbollah.
Now, you said Ukraine's going to lose the war in 2024.
What's going to go on in Libya?
What about Iran?
Netanyahu is going to lose power.
He's going to get replaced by who's the other guy, the opposition leader.
I forgot his name.
But Netanyahu is actually the one who's holding back all the crazed warmongers in his cabinet who want to – people are even more radical than Netanyahu who are upset that they haven't already completely gone to war with Lebanon.
So really Israel is just waiting to finish off Hamas and kill everyone there before they go to a full-blown war with Lebanon, which will probably – What about Iran?
I think that's what they're eventually angling for.
I mean, it could come to that.
I don't know how involved Iran will be, but I definitely see Israel going to war with a full-scale war with Hezbollah after Hamas has finished.
In fact, I think Hezbollah has already said that that would be the trigger for the full-scale war that Hamas would collapse.
And that's in a matter of weeks, not months.
And, of course, the defense minister was saying, I think, yesterday, that Israel's in a seven-front and eight-front war.
So, I mean, the war in Israel is going to expand, and it's just going to become more and more of a headache for Joe Biden, just like Ukraine becoming more and more of a headache as Ukrainians are just dying off and losing hope.
So I can really see Joe Biden having a Jimmy Carter moment in 2024 on foreign policy on both of those fronts.
I don't see anything you do.
So let's talk about this then, because we've got the two regional wars in Eastern Europe and in the Middle East.
What happens there, anybody's guess?
But Brad's predictions are Russia finishes polishing off Zelensky and Israel expands it.
But let's talk about Donald Trump.
Now, this is something I wanted to talk with Sam Dixon about earlier.
We were a little late getting to Sam, and then Keith and I were both over-eager to ask him questions.
We ran out of time.
But he says that, you know, certainly Trump is going to be convicted, I think if I understood him correctly.
In Fulton County.
But if you're convicted on felony charges in a criminal suit, this is different than, let's say, the Charlottesville civil suit where you get these damages in terms of money.
But you get to go home and you get to appeal and all of that.
But if you're convicted on felony charges, don't you get to go to prison, right?
And then you appeal from prison.
Am I misreading this, Brad?
That is exactly what I've been wondering myself.
And, you know, I've heard different things that, you know, if...
Because if you get convicted of murder, you go to prison and you get to appeal, but you appeal from...
Yeah.
Yeah, immediately.
I don't know.
And I've heard, you know, there's some schemes to scheming to postpone, maybe postpone the trials until after the election.
Or I don't even know what the penalty is.
But I think Bonnie Willis in Fulton County, and I think this black Jamaican woman in D.C.
And I think certainly the people in New York are wanting to get this done right away.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
I don't know if the Supreme Court would step in.
This is what happened because of the Supreme Court.
If that happens, that's why we have this.
If the BSC was all these black judges and everybody else like that.
If all this BS ends up putting Somp in prison, let's say he has a trial early next year in Georgia.
He goes to prison over the summer or something like that.
That'll be like a whole different ballgame.
But I'm betting somehow the can is kicked down the road to maybe 2025, 2026.
This is the thing that's so exciting is that we're about to find out.
This is something that we have to wait an indefinite amount of time to discover.
We don't have to wait until our kids have kids to know.
This is something we're going to find out in the next few months.
And so that's exciting.
Brad, do you have a sense of apprehension or excitedness about what's coming?
Because, I mean, again, I've been saying this all night to me.
Are you looking forward with hope and optimism or dread?
I look forward to anything that upsets the Apple cart.
I was dreading it more over the summer, more over the fall when things kind of looked more contentious.
But at this point, you know, it seems to be kind of underwhelming.
It seems like the Joe Biden is just collapsing and he's going down.
And people already, I mean, they know these two people.
It just, I mean, I can't see Trump being like a frontrunner and running ahead of Joe Biden in all the polls.
And then we're like, okay, well, Fannie Willis and some black jury in Atlanta say Trump has to go to prison.
And he does.
I mean, that scenario is completely plausible.
And if so, it could completely alter everything I've said in my prediction.
I'm leaning toward like nothing ever happens.
And somehow it'll just drift off to like 2025.
Brad, I agree with you and some of the things you've been writing at OD is that it does feel a little bit like the 2015, 2016 vibe in terms of the irreverency of Trump.
To see him going up against the system in this way has almost brought me back.
I know the disappointments.
We're not going to relitigate that.
The more punches they land, the stronger he is.
We're not going to relitigate the pros and cons of the Trump administration.
But right now, right here, I'm like, you know, if I can stick it to them in such a way, you know, let's just do it just to cause them discontent.
And that brings us to number 10 on your Occidental Descent 2024 predictions.
Folks, you've got to read this.
But we've been foreshadowing this, actually, Brad, in advance of your appearance.
And I've actually already read the entire text of number 10.
But are there things the Democrats are going to unleash over the course of the next 11 months that we haven't seen before?
I mean, you know, pandemics, riots, ballot box harvesting, drop boxes, you know, the black preacher at the local church.
All of the congregation 10,000 votes in the Trump.
All of the congregation passed them their ballots.
But I think there's going to be some things.
And other people have been talking about this tonight, too.
All of your predecessor guests.
There are going to be things that's coming up in 2024 that we can't even anticipate even tonight, even in our wildest imagination.
It was around this time, James, in 2019 that we were first starting to hear the first reports of COVID because I distinctly remember it was on the way home from Missouri after Christmas when I heard about it.
And it really kicked off January.
Pardon the interruption.
It blew up in January, but when it really hit was in March.
I specifically remember watching March, and I saw on the television that they were canceling the NCAA men's basketball tournament, March Madness.
And then I knew something.
Stop preaching starting in Midland, then in Jamesville.
Well, I don't care about college basketball, but I knew this.
The Trialblazers were playing in an even certain way.
Well, they canceled them too.
But then I knew something was up.
But anyway, let's pick it up there.
Let's take a break.
Let's continue with Brad after this break.
Brad, capping off a fantastic night of predictions and forecasts.
So many great TPC regulars on there.
And you got three times as much as anyone else.
We'll be right back.
Proclaiming liberty across the land.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.

Flu cases are surging across the United States with a 16% increase in positive test results reported just last week, according to the CDC's weekly influenza report.
Over a dozen states, including Alabama, Georgia, and New York, have reported very high levels of respiratory illness, and nearly 20 other states have levels classified as high, with six pediatric deaths bringing the total to 20 for the current flu season.
Main stop election official is removing former President Trump from the state's 2024 Republican primary ballot.
Maine Secretary of State Shanna Bellows made the decision on Thursday.
I was duty bound to follow Mima to ensure the candidates, all the candidates who appear on the primary ballot are qualified for the office they seek.
Bellow says Trump knew the risks for violence on January 6, 2021, and ignored them, which she believes disqualifies him from seeking office.
Eight people are being treated or are recovering from injuries sustained when a massive rogue wave hit a beach in California.
It happened Thursday in Ventura County as a group of onlookers stood behind a barrier.
The wave swept as many as 20 people off the beach.
Eight of them were hospitalized.
According to the National Weather Service, dangerous rip currents will continue along parts of the California coast through the weekend.
Coastal flooding and high surf alerts are being posted along much of the West Coast from the Mexican border to southern Oregon.

President Biden is set to welcome the new year in the Caribbean as he and his family embark on their traditional holiday trip to the Virgin Islands.
However, Republicans, including Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, criticized the vacation, framing it as inappropriate amidst the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs pointed to the border challenges, accusing the president of enjoying the Caribbean sun while an influx of illegal aliens continues.
Recent polls indicate that the border situation remains a significant political concern for Biden, contributing to declining approval ratings in December.
This is USA News.

Ladies and gentlemen, do yourself a favor and read the lyrics to Old Lang Syne.
You could do a lot worse than putting the lyrics to Scottish bagpipes this weekend, but we have all been in this together for so many years.
I am so thankful for all of our friends and comrades and all of those who have stood with us here on TPC.
And Brad Griffin, of course, stands at the tip of that spear.
And we continue now with him and his 2024 predictions just unveiled today at occidentaldescent.com.
Not just a daily read in name only, but truly a daily read.
So let's go back.
Democrats have a plan to energize their base.
We're going to circle back.
We're going to extend Brad to the full hour here.
And we're going to go circle back to a couple of things we skipped over.
But Democrats have a plan to energize their base.
Yeah, you said independent candidates.
We're talking about somebody other than Bobby Kennedy Jr. or whatever.
Cornell West, Cornell West, Bobby Kennedy, maybe possibly Jim Manchin or some no labels candidate.
The bottom line is that just like in 2016, independent candidates are going to play a lot more of a role in the 2024 election, and that's favoring Trump.
And that's, I mean, that's going to have an impact.
Let's talk about it.
Biden is losing more of his base than Trump is.
Well, I mean, again, as you put it, Brad, he doesn't have the luxury of running from his basement this year.
This is, at least for now, a regular gal.
Imagine what kind of gaffe, you know, gaffs we could hear, you know, when he finally has to get on the campaign troll.
Oh, my.
I mean, this guy.
Well, this is, again, this is what's so amazing is it's all going to unveil itself before us.
It's going to reveal itself before us in days.
It's going to start unraveling.
I mean, the year-long election process begins in two weeks in Iowa.
The caucuses begin.
We are here now.
It is happening.
It is there right before us.
Let's go to number 11.
This is something that has been such a widespread variety of opinions tonight.
Does he win?
Does he lose?
Does he go to prison?
Does he not?
I've heard it all, including from Patrick Martin, that he doesn't even run, that it's going to end even before that.
So all of these people who share such commonality and opinion are diversifying themselves this evening.
You write in number 11 at occidentaldescent.com that he avoids prison in 2024.
I do believe that.
I believe a lot of these cases.
I think there's what, three cases, four cases?
So far.
Some of them are going to get, and I know he's trying to, he's trying the bottom line, he's trying to like push it past the election.
And I don't, I mean, I don't think he's, I don't think he, I don't think, I just do not think he's going to go to prison like on the campaign trail ahead.
I mean, I, I, that's got, yeah, maybe that's kind of a rational point, but I think something will happen.
It's just not going to play out like that.
We won't get anything dramatic.
We'll be disappointed.
I think what's going to happen, I'm going to make this prediction.
They, that Trump wins the election and the left pretends that he didn't.
All right.
Well, that's, that, that would be new because even Hillary Clinton.
Well, you know, but here's the thing about well, let's go to number 12, Civil War II.
This is there's a movie coming about that.
You say that it doesn't have it, except for in the movie, that there won't be a real civil war over whatever happens in this election.
Yeah, I mean, that's and that one also is obvious.
I mean, this is the right is clearly has the advantage this year.
The bottom line is that Trump is holding more of his 2020 coalition and adding disaffected voters.
And Biden is not holding his coalition and is bleeding out disaffected voters.
And that's been the dynamic for like over a year now.
And what was I going to say?
Oh, yeah.
And that's why, I mean, if Republicans win, they're not going to secede.
If they think they're going to win outright, they're not going to secede or do anything like that.
Once they're in charge, remember how it was when Trump was elected and everybody went to sleep and they thought that America's back and everything for like three or four years all the way until COVID happened?
That's totally.
Well, he let us down.
That's the problem.
I mean, he let us down, us political junkies who pay attention to politics 24-7.
We felt let down.
But the average Joe, he just tuned out.
America was saved when Trump beat Hillary and he didn't even think about anything until like 2020.
Well, he did say things we liked.
He said things we liked after Charlottesville.
He said things we liked about the Confederate, the military bases named after Confederates.
He did stuff like that, but that was about it.
But in any event, yeah, I mean, he let us down, the animals, but for the rest, we could do a whole six-hour show on all the failures of that.
Whole other topic, but let's talk.
This was what really I think to me, reading your 17 points here at occidentaldescent.com, the most interesting for me was number 13.
The debates are over.
Not only did he own the field by not participating in Republican debates, you're saying that there's not going to be any debates from here on through November of 24.
That's not how we do things anymore.
We don't debate issues.
We champion our side.
And, you know, in a struggle, you know, of good versus evil, you can't even acknowledge the other side represents half the country, and that's how it's going to be.
Trump isn't going to debate Joe because he thinks he's winning.
It's working for him with DeSantis.
Joe's not going to debate him because he knows he'll lose.
Oh, because, you know, he's a fascist monster, an enemy of democracy, and so forth.
So that's not going to happen.
I don't think.
That's very interesting.
I mean, we'll see.
But, I mean, it's certainly if passed his prologue, why would he?
He is in, you know, this is what's so interesting, Brad, and we've mentioned this in recent weeks, but never before in either 2016 against Hillary or 2020 against Biden did Trump ever lead in a poll.
He's leading into all of the polls, including the Swiss.
Yeah, and that's the most significant thing.
Some things are obvious, and it's just a matter of seeing what's obvious.
That's what happened by mistake last year when I thought that the revenge tour is going to fizzle out and people get tired of Trump and people would look at Ron DeSantis.
No, that's not what happened at all.
As soon as, you know, the indictments came down, everyone rallied behind Trump, and it's been go, go, go ever since.
And this was always – The more punches they land, the stronger Trump gets.
Right, right.
There's millions of people who really, really like Trump and are just completely what did you.
But here's the significant thing.
Here's the most important thing we're going to discuss tonight.
Trump has been dominating the polls against Joe Biden pretty much since the first indictment with Alvin Bragg back in April.
I mean, there was a period over the summer when Biden barely led in the polls.
But pretty much, I mean, Trump has been consistently just dominating Biden in the polls for like six months.
And that's hugely significant because everybody's already, everything, I mean, Trump didn't have to debate DeSantis because everyone knows who Trump is.
They know what he stands for.
There's nothing to learn from the debates.
It's pointless.
And everybody's made up their mind about Trump or Biden and who's the worst.
And there's nothing that's going to happen over the next year that's going to change any of that.
And clearly, you know, I mean, if you looked at the polls in late 2019, it was clear that Trump was going to lose.
He never led in, I don't think, a single major poll the entire cycle.
And now he's just dominating the polls, and he's never done that before.
So, I mean, just on the basis of that, you know, he's got a huge edge, an edge he didn't have before.
All right.
So now, before we come up to our last break of the evening, which will be our last break of the year.
Wow.
52 weeks, 52 shows, Keith.
Here we are.
That's right.
Still alive.
We've done it 19 times, 19 years so far.
And here we end this one with Brad Griffin.
And what a fantastic way to end it.
But the revenge tour.
In your opinion, Brad, and in your projection, Trump gets re-elected.
Does he become who we would like him to be?
And this is the Charlemagne.
As I said to Donald Trump Jr. on this program, I want your dad to be Charlemagne.
I said that on Super Tuesday of 2016.
He didn't become that.
Could he become that, or will he revert back to the norm?
Will he revert back to who he was?
He will do a lot of things that we like, and he'll be better than he was in his first term.
Do you think that?
Yeah, yeah, I think he'll definitely be better than he was in his first term.
But I also think that he'll spend most of his time trying to settle petty scores and getting even with various people who.
Well, that's okay because his enemies are the enemies of whites.
Yeah, by large.
What's he going to do on the Jewish question?
Now, let's save that question for the final segment.
Brad Griffin.
Full hour tonight with Brad Griffin.
OxidativeCent.com, his 2024 predictions, Freedom Now.
We'll be right back.
Hello, TPC family.
It's James, and I've got to tell you that I sleep better at night knowing that there are organizations like the Conservative Citizens Foundation.
The purpose of the Conservative Citizens Foundation is to promote the principles of limited government, individual liberty, equality before the law, property rights, law and order, judicial restraint, and states' rights, while at the same time, exploring the dangers posed by liberalism to our national interests and cultural institutions.
The Conservative Citizens Foundation also seeks to educate the public on the dangers of extremist ideologies like critical race theory and cultural Marxism.
I've worked with the good people at the Conservative Citizens Foundation for many years, and their work comes with my complete endorsement.

It'll be a new year but the same dream, and we'll be here to fight with you and stand with you every step of the way.
Happy New Year.
Ladies and gentlemen, in our listening audience, Happy New Year to all of you.
Happy New Year to all of our guests who have appeared on the program throughout this year and every year, all the way back to 2004.
But especially those on the show tonight, Warren Baylog, Michael Hill, Sam Dixon, Tim Murdoch, John Fryn, Patrick Martin, Rick Tyler, and Brad Griffin.
I just wanted to say very quickly that this has been a wonderful run so far.
Next week, we'll run into the new year.
The calendar switches to 2024.
20 years on the radio.
20 years is a long time.
You only have so many 20-year segments in a lifetime.
And I've been fortunate enough to spend one of them with you.
And the blessing of my life to have been introduced to this cause, having it had taken place during Pat Buchanan's third and final bid for the White House.
I was 20 years old in 2000 when I served as both his delegate and a national committee member for the Reform Party nominating convention in Long Beach, California.
And far from dysfunction, I was able, you know, people forget the election results were poor, but far from dysfunction, I was able to witness a professional organization, what it was and how serious people present themselves.
And Buchanan's personal presentation was an all-inspiring sight to behold.
And now, 19 years in my stint as a talk radio host, you know, I've always tried to pair good humor and steadfast resolve in the style of the man who influenced me to first get involved more than two decades ago.
Now, a lot of that is my true nature.
I've always been convivial and gregarious and outgoing, but being up close to a pro like that, you know, when I was 19 and 20 years old, definitely left a mark.
Pat Buchanan's retail politics were second to none.
He taught you how to be a happy warrior.
Gracious and welcome.
Yeah, right.
I mean, he was gracious and welcoming with people.
You know, time does fly, but my biggest advice with regards to strategy would be to fly above the turbulence, folks.
If an individual or organization appears to be working in good faith and producing good fruit, let's endeavor to work in cooperation with them.
That's been TPC's motto for all of these years, and it's led us to such great friendships like Brad Criffin and all the other people that have been on the show tonight and this year and for the last two decades.
But let's not mire ourselves in the morass of movement beefs and personality conflicts, but rather set our sights on the people we seek to reach and the even loftier goals of where we want Western civilization.
While we're here for 20 years later and so many have fallen to the white side, we just don't get involved in all those pissing contests.
Well, I mean, the thing is, and I'll wrap it up here and now because we've got to get back to Brad, but it was just more important, frankly.
But I did want to say this to close out the show, our last show of the year.
We're always going to endeavor.
As long as we've been here forever, much longer we have to be with you.
We'll always endeavor to do things the right way.
And you can count on us and you can count on that.
And so that being said, Brad, I'm looking here at, you know, interestingly, your posts populate related posts.
And I see here your political cesspool 2024 predictions thread at Occidental Descent.
I see two different things.
I see number one, most recently, the live broadcast we did in Alabama back in August where you took yours truly and Jared Taylor and other friends on the tour of Selma, which was just, I mean, that's been covered a lot on this program.
That was number one.
And thank you for that, by the way.
That was a fantastic weekend.
You and Renee.
That was just, man, we had an eye-opener for Jared.
I know.
I know he had a good time.
Jared did not win.
Well, we all had a good time.
Jared did not won, but two featured pieces at Amran.com for that.
But then I see a picture of me and Katie Torring together.
Katie Turr at the height of her height.
There's nothing that's a height with Katie.
She was little Katie, that's for sure.
I see that picture.
I remember that picture.
I remember that day.
Yeah, you were obviously.
You were the future of Republican.
Your politics for the future of Republican politics.
Who knew it did?
Who knew it in March of 2016?
And we laughed about it at the time, but it's proven to be the truth.
Let's get to that right now, Brad.
March of 2016 to now, our ideas win, right?
Yeah, it's been a slow transformation.
Like I said in my post, a lot of the influencers and Ecelebs didn't make it, but a lot of the points and the political positions that attracted ordinary people in the first place have pretty much won out, even to the point where, you know, even the Jewish question, that was discussed in depth, really.
2023 was a breakout year for that.
And so like, and that brings us, you know, to a larger point about like what happened to Daltwright, what was left behind in his wake.
And that's like kind of like ran out of.
We had this, you know, criticism, and a lot of those criticisms were taken to heart, and a lot of minds were changed.
And a lot of society's malcontents took themselves out of the picture, okay?
Right.
Malcontents.
Yeah, yeah, malcontents take care of themselves.
Now, people like me and you and James and Jared and Sam, we're never going to have any falling out.
A lot of these people, you know, it's a you don't even need to pay any attention to it because it'd be surprising if they didn't have a falling out.
So people can't be distracted.
Number 15.
Tell us about number 15.
I'm intrigued.
Democrats ride in 2024.
Oh, yeah, well, that happens, you know, every presidential election.
So we can take that one to the bank and cash it in on New Year's Day.
The Democrats will riot in a presidential election.
It'll be a replay of Black Lives Matter or something new.
Or worse.
It seems like you'd have to up the ante now.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, and that's another thing.
I mean, the whole reason they do that is to energize, to activate younger minority.
Yeah, yeah.
The people who aren't thrilled by standard Hillary Clinton DNC politics and to get them involved and activated.
That's the whole point, especially women worked up and voting for Joe Biden is a vote for justice or some crap like that.
Well, Black Lives Matter was for minorities.
I wanted to get them all stirred up.
Yeah, Belium's corpse or something similar will be resurrected soon, next year, probably over the summer.
It'll be a shooting or something.
That's what happened in 2016 as well.
All right, so let's talk about anything we haven't covered yet.
And by the way, folks, read along for yourselves or read along after the fact, however you may, however you wish.
2024 predictions, occidentalescent.com.
What have we left out, Brad?
Oh, I had one sports theme point one, but just as something different from politics.
It's kind of similar.
I predicted Alabama will win the national championship.
I don't say that.
I'm looking forward to it.
Old Miss win it next year.
It could be the rate they're going.
But yeah, I'm not going to bet against Alabama in the national championship.
Because, I mean, nothing really surprising ever happens.
So that's kind of a thing.
Except for next year.
Well, Ole Miss may win it next year because they've made a startling discovery, which is that black players want to get paid.
Yeah, I think we'll be surprised that somehow the BS resolves itself.
I don't know.
Maybe that's an irrational, an irrational, maybe other guests were completely on point on that, and Trump does go to prison and it's Civil War too.
But I doubt it.
What about nuclear war?
Nuclear war.
No.
I think our adversaries are too rational.
I think Putin is willing to play the long game.
Isn't going to get baited.
He'll wait out.
Yeah, that was the difference between the elections and one superpower to another.
One, they wrote that Putin is just rubber stamped in next spring and the Kremlin is already sort of admitted as such.
How is that different from us?
Well, versus us, where the campaign begins in two weeks and extends for 11 months.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
I mean, the campaign day is actually two years, but the voting itself is a full year.
What can Russia do to embarrass Joe Biden and get him out of office?
Something with gas pots.
I'm afraid that when Biden and the Democrats see that he's going down, they'll press the nuclear button just to start the war.
Yeah, I mean, you'd think that's a mind off the election.
You would think as bad as he's doing, they would dump him, but of course they're not going to do that.
So sometimes a nursery.
It's like a guy that doesn't have an independent thought who can basically is an empty cast to be filled with whatever ideas they want.
Exactly.
I mean, he's, I mean, he's, you know, endorsed every radical idea they have.
I mean, do they have any ones he hasn't?
I mean.
Does he have any ideas himself?
I mean, you know, that goes back to the last campaign when it was obviously such a farce that he had.
He doesn't want agency over his mental faculties.
And, you know, does he even decide what kind of eggs he likes for breakfast?
I forgot one last prediction.
The GFP will continue to fight anti-Semitism.
Well, that's an easy one, Brad.
Brad, let me just ask you about this.
It's so crazy.
Yeah, I heard that George Santos is going to be replaced by an Ethiopian Jewish woman who is a registered Democrat.
Now, you know, with Republicans like that, who needs Democrats?
Right, right, right.
I mean, people made more of him than there was, I think.
I mean, people are like, oh, look, George Santos is so corrupt, he's a liar.
I'm like, well, isn't that true of all politicians?
What about Richard Blumenthal and the Democrats?
What about Menendez with his gold bar from Egypt underneath his bed?
I cannot believe our last show, the finale of 2023.
What a year it's been, Keith.
Thank you.
Great one.
So many great guests.
I tell you what.
March around the World Confederate History Month all the way through to the night.
Brad Griffin, thank you for being our last guest of the year.
We'll be with you next week, God willing.
Jesus Terries, we got to be with you for 2024.
For all of the guests who have been on tonight, for all of the guests who have been on this year, for Keith Alexander, I'm James Edwards.
