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.
The third and final hour is now upon us.
If you're still having a good time, let us hear it.
Now we've got, we really have to make haste.
I've been saying this all night, but there's so many fantastic guests.
You never want to cut anyone short.
But a gentleman now with us who has really become really, I think, a part of the family now.
It's certainly a fabric of the program over the course of the last couple of years.
Our association with Antelope Hill Publishing has been something that's meant a great deal to the program.
They've added so much content, monthly appearances, and the majority of which, not to say that we haven't had a wonderful assortment of authors and contributors to the Antelope Hill Catalog over the months, over the last couple of years, but Taylor Young, one of the members of the editorial board of a HP, that's right, Antelope Hill Publishing, has been with us more than any of the others.
And for at least the last two or three months, in both March Around the World and Confederate History Month, Taylor, you have appeared.
And it's great to have you with us tonight.
I am so glad to have you here and the fact that you brought the Antelope Hill Publishing team.
You've got a whole table here at the conference.
Antelope Hill Publishing, ladies and gentlemen.
So I got to ask you, it's not cheap to travel.
It's an expensive endeavor.
The economy, the inflation, has it been worth your while?
Have you had a good time this week?
Absolutely.
It's been more than worth it.
It's been really a fantastic, absolutely amazing event.
You know, I don't want to.
We had high hopes, but you've surpassed them.
It's really so much more.
Y'all surpassed it.
The people here and the guests surpassed it.
You included among that company, Taylor, to be sure.
And I want to thank you again for the content that you've given the program over the last couple of years as we just continue to get better and better because the guests and the association and the family continues to grow.
But yes, so Antelope Hill Publishing.
I think regular listeners certainly know about it.
They know what's going on there.
But give us a quick 60-second refresher.
All right, so we exist to publish the books that tell the history of our people and their ideas and their struggle from past to present and into the future.
We started out doing historical reprints and new translations of works that weren't previously available or very hard to find.
And soon after that, we discovered new and contemporary authors who are willing to work with us with their works, original stuff like Let Them Look West by Marty Phillips or The Transgender Industrial Complex by Scott Howard.
We've got books by Kerry Bolton and many, many more.
So we just have an absolutely tremendous variety and it is really a tremendous blessing for us with all the people that have been willing to work with us and the chance to talk to people like you guys.
You publish the books that American publishers refuse to publish.
That's basically what you do, right?
What are your big hits right now?
What are you the big titles at the catalog at antelopehillpublishing.com?
We had a couple books by Paul Kersey that just come out.
Paul Kersey.
We had a couple books by Paul Kersey.
We had some recent additions to our books about the Spanish Civil War and the 20th century Italian fascism period.
And we'll have coming up, we'll have a book about the idea of the melting pot and white self-hatred in American literature and some other, some more historical stuff.
We also had recently published a collection of Hitler's speeches at Nuremberg entitled Voice of Triumph.
So all that kind of stuff you can find at Adelaide.
And then some children's content.
I mean, it really runs the entire spectrum of content that our people might be interested in.
So fun for all ages at AntelopeHillPublishing.com.
And if you haven't heard enough from Taylor, he'll be back on the show next week.
Am I right about that?
Or end of the month third hour?
I'm going to forward to it already.
All right.
Taylor Young, Antelope HillPublishing.com.
Thank you, Taylor.
Kirk Lyons.
You know, again, as I say, we have had a lot of people here who could have headlined their own conferences.
And I don't want to say they're just faces in the crowd because Kirk Lyons is never just a face in the crowd, but he has spoken at one of TPC's anniversary conferences before, as has Gene Andrews.
In fact, Gene Andrews has spoken at all of them before.
But Kirk Lyons is with us now to give us his assessment of the weekend and if he's glad he made the trip down the mountain all the way up to North Dakota.
I've had a wonderful day today.
It's been nice seeing a lot of old friends, and I literally mean old friends.
You just have to be close, Michael.
But some of these men and some ladies I've known going on more than four decades.
And my brother Keith here, you know, who very graciously gave me a wonderful tour of downtown and suburban Memphis when the SAV.
There's a couple of bullet holes in the car to show for it.
Yeah, yeah.
And always good to see Brother James and his family.
Wonderful conference.
I missed the morning talks, and I'm sorry for that, but we had to, you know, when you come into South Carolina from the mountains of North Carolina, you get up to the Continental Divide and you just put the car in neutral and you can coast all the way down into Greenville.
But that does take a while.
So, but we got here in time for lunch and then the afternoon sessions, and they were wonderful.
So if the morning was anything like the afternoon, I'd be blown away, and I was.
It was been a wonderful conference.
And thank you so much for allowing me and members of my family to come down here today.
Well, thank you for being here, and thank you for giving us the travel you would take to Greenville.
Of course, we're in Tallahassee tonight, but at any hey, Kirk Lyons, hey, fighting the good fight in court.
Are we ever winning in court these days?
Well, that's up to y'all.
One of the things that I tell everybody to do: if your Congress critter is a stupid party member, you need to call him, her, or it and tell them to put the Reconciliation Monument and Memorial back up at Arlington National Cemetery.
And they need to be told that because they are complicit in the blaming commission.
They made a deal with the demo Bolsheviks after Mr. Potato Head became the regime leader that, you know, we got to curb this guy.
This guy will go crazy taking stuff down to people that we like.
So we need to just have y'all set up a commission to take down all the Confederate stuff because you know, everybody can dump on Confederates and get away with it.
Well, we found out that that was the deal from the chief of staff of the Armed Services Committee, and we've been telling them, you tell your Congress critter, stupid person party, to get that back up, or else if you don't, we may forget to vote for your sorry so-and-so in November.
So that monument being there will remind us: oh, maybe we need to vote for this clown.
Okay, okay, we got it.
So do that.
It's very important.
We're on appeal now.
Our Clinton-appointed judge demonstrated yet again that there's no justice in America.
President Trump found that out the hard way.
So one of the things that we're playing, this is a combined arms operation.
That means that y'all have a part to play, and that is to apply political pressure.
These guys are running for reelection, most of them, and this is one of the few times that they will even bother to listen to us.
So call them and call them.
Again, get your pets, your preacher, your teachers, your family members, everybody to call your Congress critter if he's a stupid party member and chew him out and say you can redeem yourself by having the National Defense Authorization Act amended to put the Memorial of Reconciliation dedicated in 1914 back in Arlington National Cemetery.
We will accept nothing less from you people.
Thank you.
And all the other ones as well.
I don't know if I necessarily want to reconcile myself, but I do want the monument back up.
All right, Kirk Lyons, everybody.
You know, I think Kirk had the second largest posse here of the people that got Kirk's kids.
They look like they're the cast of Deadwood.
Hey, that's right.
Good boys back there.
They are certainly sons of their fathers.
And we're going to sing Dixie and I need that rebel yell at the end of the night.
Dr. Neil Payne.
Neil Payton.
All right.
Yes, very good.
Very good.
All right.
Very quickly and as quickly as we can.
Now, the old war horses, the guys that are on DPC, it seems that every week it's either Sam Dixon, Jared Taylor, or Mark Weber, and for good reason.
But we got Brad Griffin up here right now.
And Keith, give Brad a mic.
Well, Brad, what do you want to say?
Well, I mean, it's just, I would just say it's great, James, to be here.
You were the one who started it all today with you were the first speaker of this wonderful.
I've been having such a great time with you and all the folks here in Tallahassee.
And really.
Too close.
No, you're good.
You're good.
All right, great, great.
Hold it closer.
Well, we're in Ocala, but certainly not in South Carolina.
No, no.
The great state of Florida.
Let's give it a round of applause.
Yeah, at the invitation of Ron DeSantis.
Exactly.
Israel has no greater ally than Ron DeSantis.
All right.
Have you had a good.
Listen, Brad, you and I cut our teeth in many ways in the old Council of Conservative Citizens.
And so we've seen a lot of good conferences, a lot of fun times over the years.
Yeah, although we go to Nashville several times a year.
Yeah, in Nashville, all those years at the Council of Conservative Citizens.
So have you enjoyed this one?
I've had a blast, James.
In my talk this morning, I talked about how we all really started out as fringe, and over the past 20 years have gradually become more and more mainstream to the point, like I feel like, you know, it's weird.
I see a lot of the people who were like really edgy who used to be associated with us, they don't want to be associated with us anymore because we're kind of like lame stream now.
The old race stuff, the immigration stuff, all that's done gone mainstream.
But so, yes, I mean, I was really surprised by like Warren, like, had the, they're pretty much the same I was talking about in my speech.
And we really like one speaker after another just rethinking this compliment.
Thinking of the same thing, really.
So we're going in the right direction as far as popular opinion goes, and as far as the polling goes, at what point does that translate into actual victories?
Right, right.
Yeah, that's the catch in there.
But it's still a good thing that, you know, people are beginning to agree with us more and more.
I mean, you've got to have that.
That's where we're working towards for the 40-year conference.
At the 40-year PPC, do you think we're going to have a victory yet?
Yeah, hopefully.
Hopefully we'll have all the monuments put back.
And a few new ones.
Who would you erect some monuments to?
dr hill we'll put a doctor we'll put doctor we'll put dr hill on a statue in charlottesville That's what we want.
Yeah, I heard there were a couple taken down in Charlottesville that need replacing at Hill Park.
Yeah, Hill Park.
We need some new heroes.
What's coming up at OD?
I'm not sure.
I haven't really gotten to that.
New polling data, surely.
Probably, probably.
There's always a lot of that.
And of course, you know, we quote you just about every show.
Yeah, we have a lot to see how the whole Trump thing plays out over the next five months.
I got a theory, and I don't know if I'm right about this.
This is a new theory I've been working on, and I'm not entirely unsure.
I'm willing to be wrong.
And I voted for Trump twice, and he has to lose my vote to keep it from happening a third time.
A lot of things to be critical of, pros and cons.
But I'm not so sure at this point that the system doesn't need Trump reinstalled to have the Trump swath of the American electorate, the half plus of the American electorate to reinvest some faith in the system.
If the system, you know, the legitimacy in the system is certainly whittling away.
There is no trust in the media, little trust in the government, little trust in elections, little trust in the courts.
They need the system to be legitimate before people start talking about solutions that can really get us somewhere.
And I'm not so sure now against this incredibly weak president with the rampant inflation and all of that that it wouldn't behoove them to let Trump win this time.
You know, I had a, remember when I did my predictions at the end of last year?
And I said I just had this feeling all this legal stuff would, he would miraculously like dodge it.
And that's largely what's happening.
Sam Bushman's glad.
He told me that two years ago.
But the thing is also, well, I can't remember.
Keith, what did you want to say?
I was going to say that really I think that if they don't re-elect Trump, they may just have to drop the pretense altogether and say, we are now a tyranny and we have a dictator, a strong man.
We're going to govern you because, like you said, there's been such a decline in the faith of the American people in the integrity of its government.
And we need the system to lose its legitimacy.
And that is a prerequisite before anything of substance will happen.
And so, again, well, I mean, ultimately, whether Trump gets back in this year or four years from now, demographic displacement, as Nick Griffin said today.
Yeah, yeah, it seems to be on the sickest right about that.
But, you know, and of course, over the last four years, our movement has moved the chains a long way.
And I'm not so sure that we want the populist right to go back to sleep thinking, yeah, the system works.
See, we elected our guy again.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Even if you do get Trump in, you really need all these other little guys in Congress because that's like the real problem in the Senate, in the House.
I mean, you've seen how.
But you mentioned, I mean, we do have more people in Congress that are speaking outside the box than we did.
There is movement in the right direction.
It's never as fast as we would like it.
But anyway, I'm just riffing here.
I'm just off the cuff.
We're just going to go to the next step.
I would like to get to a point where we can set a very minor goal where we can't have 30 votes on Israel in the Spanish 30 votes on Israel since October.
Well, what I think is going to happen is that we're going to either win this election or else the train is liable to jump the tracks.
I think that there's no doubt that we have changed public opinion.
We just don't seem to be able to make that manifest itself in any time.
All right, so that's the question for Brad.
And then we've got to move on because this is more like a regular show than feeding in off the event here.
But we will continue this conversation, of course, on the air in weeks to come.
Does it behoove?
What is best for the movement in terms of the outcomes of this thing?
Doesn't change anything really in the government, or is it going to take some donor class that can outbid the team?
All right, yeah, just, yeah.
You know, I really do think we should make some kind of more of an effort to take on these state and local races.
You know, if we just had someone elected to the state legislature in South Carolina who is like an explicit pro-white advocate, that would be a huge deal.
We haven't had anything like that since Dr. Duke in the 90s.
That's right.
Well, we will get there again.
I mean, it is good that public opinion is moving in our direction.
And Brad, you have chronicled that more than anyone else on our side, expertly so.
And again, the question becomes, when does that critical mass actually translate into tangible victories?
And we're still waiting for that moment.
But you would say we're better off now than we were certainly when we first met.
Oh, oh, definitely.
I mean, we've gone from friends to kind of quasi-mainstream.
Well, the stuff we were saying, you know, 10 years ago that was absolutely forbidden is now conservative incorporated as talking points, you know, except for on Israel.
But that's crumbling too, as you've mentioned.
Yeah, I had no idea we would be here as recently as 2018.
Yeah, so here we go.
We will continue to follow the progress at occidentaldescent.com.
Brad Griffin, he was the Grand Marshal of the parade today.
He started it all.
Our first speaker this morning, Brad Griffin, occidentaldescent.com.
I never miss it.
I never miss it.
All right.
Now, no one frets more about one of their appearances on the program than Courtney.
She is always well prepared.
She always puts a lot of thought.
Now, she's normally one of our special events girls.
It's Valentine's Day.
It's 4th of July.
It's Halloween.
It's Christmas.
It's Thanksgiving.
She's there, and she's been there.
How long, Keith?
I mean, I don't ever know the show without Courtney having been a part of it in some way.
Probably 20 years.
I don't know.
Very close.
Very close.
And so we'll just see what she has to say tonight.
Have you had a good time?
I have a great time.
I always have a good time at these.
So great seeing all my friends that I don't get to see enough.
It's been a minute.
Well, you were actually about, I was about to say something, but you even mentioned that you were about to say it yourself the last time we were together with you.
Yeah, and you gave me permission to share the story, the last gathering, and I can say the specific name of the guy.
We went to Fort Pillow, and so we all went inside the main building, like after, I guess after what we walked around, you know, the fields and everything, and went inside the main building, and it had a gift shop, and it had one of those little theaters in it where they, like, you know, all these types of places, they have like a little theater in there where you can watch a history video usually.
So anyways, there were a few of us that were in the gift shop, and James, okay.
And James loves for everybody to be on time for every event I've noticed just from attending.
So he was upset that some of us were still in the gift shop, and he kept coming into the gift shop.
He's like, the video is about to start.
Our whole group is in there.
I went all up.
All of you have to come watch the video.
And so I was in there.
I was getting a bonnet for my little girl and like a rebel hat for my little boy.
And he was getting frustrated because some of us were still in there.
I'm like, I'm sorry.
So anyways, I finally made into the theater with my children.
And by the time we got into the little mini theater, you know, our whole group was already in there.
And the video was already starting.
And I'm walking down the stairs with my kids.
And James is standing there at the door all of a sudden.
And I'm walking down with my kids.
And I suddenly hear the whole room start booing.
And the video's starting.
And I'm like, is everybody this mad at me?
And I'm so self-conscious.
And I turn around and I look up on the screen because, you know, it's a Civil War video.
I look up on the screen and I see that Abraham Lincoln was up there.
So it wasn't you.
It was just Abraham Lincoln.
So anyways, I was just a good, I didn't really know what else to talk about, so I wanted to share that memory.
Well, and the man who made that memory possible, the caretaker of the Nathan Bethro Forrest boyhood home, former division commander of the Tennessee SCV, and our tour guide on that fateful day in the very blazing hot July summer in Tennessee at Fort Pillow is Gene Andrews now sitting very next to you.
He's always been a speaker at our conferences, and we've got to have him on the air tonight.
You remember that day, Gene, with Courtney?
You want me to hand it to him?
Yeah, hand it to him.
Y'all can pass it back and forth.
What do you remember about that day specifically, Gene?
Don't go anywhere, Courtney.
Well, I'll tell you a little bit about the video.
We had gone up there to scout it.
What were you?
About two weeks before the actual trip?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Danny led us on the Battan Death March to going up and down these hills and ravines and trying to figure out where this fort was.
And the bridge that they had that was a direct route had rotted and fallen down.
Now you had to twist and turn.
We luckily made it back, and then we found out you could go outside the park and come back in in the bus.
And so that's the route we took everybody to go there.
But it was still a hike, and it was hot.
Yes, you were seven months pregnant.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
You can't call them Chiggers.
You have to call them Chigros or Chigro Americans.
So anyway, but the video, this goofball thing that they ran, they had a black reenactor, and he was telling us that Fort Pillow caused the concentration camps in Germany during World War II.
And we're going, are you kidding me?
What in the world?
So that was some of the booing you heard.
Because we had a picnic at one of the pavilions, picnic pavilions, before we went down to the Ford or went to the Visitor Center.
And I warned them about this video.
I said, this is going to be something you won't believe.
So they were looking forward for that.
And when that guy went in on that rant about the battle at Fort Pillow and the concentration camps in World War II, that's when our whole group went, boo, come on, get it light.
Nah, get out of here.
So, yeah, we were primed for that one.
Hey, Gene, one more thing about Fort Pillow.
What'd you get last night?
Oh, we got the after the battle.
The Congress came up with this so-called investigation of the massacre at Fort Pillow.
And we'll tell them more right after the break.
Y'all two sit right here.
Don't leave.
30 minutes and 30 minutes only remaining during this very special live broadcast of TPC.
What's going out from this room, this very signal being heard all over the world tonight?
You're all a part of it.
Give yourselves another round of applause and we'll be right back for the last segment.
Your daily Liberty Newswire.

I've always believed that the promise of America is big enough for everyone to succeed.
And I mean that.

President Biden is busy courting black voters, which polls show he's been losing this election cycle.
Biden scheduled to speak at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
On Friday, he marked the 70th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that desegregated public schools in America.

Because to be free means to have something that no one can ever take away from you.
And that's the power of an education.

He's facing four charges.
I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell.
That was the first for me.
You know, I was part of my warm-up.
I was just sitting there waiting.
And, you know, I started going through my warm-up.
I felt like there was a chance I may be able to still come out here and play.
And so.
Scheffler's attorney says he will plead not guilty at the arraignment on Tuesday and that this is all one big misunderstanding.

The final 30 minutes of tonight's live broadcast.
You know, have you had a good time tonight, folks?
Yay!
Yes, sir.
Well, if you keep that up, we may be here all night long.
But unfortunately, we do have only 30 minutes remaining.
One quick word, a final word on Fort Pillow and the memories we shared there in the hot summer of July 2020.
That was at the COVID time.
That was at the height of the COVID era.
Nobody was wearing masks.
Nope.
We were huffing and puffing, and we made it to the fort, and we stood on the ground where our Confederate ancestors won.
Absolutely.
And the whole thing about it was, Forrest didn't go into West Tennessee to go after Fort Pillow.
They were on a raid for horses for Abraham Buford's division.
They'd gone through West Tennessee all the way up to Mayfield and all the way up to Paducah, Kentucky.
They had turned around and they were coming back.
They were headed back to Mississippi and had been on a raid for five weeks, and Fort Pillow had never been mentioned.
But then it was the civilians in West Tennessee that asked him to do something about the federal soldiers, black and white, that were coming out of Fort Pillow and robbing the city.
I didn't see that in that 1864 report, the original propaganda forum report about the massacre of Fort Pillow.
then he actually gave them, they surrounded it.
They had the high ground.
The battle was over by 8 o'clock in that morning, but by 3 o'clock they were still holding out.
He gave them three chances to surrender.
They refused.
Confederates went over the wall and the casualties were greatly in favor of the Confederates.
14 killed, about 86 wounded, and about 200 of the federal soldiers were killed.
He took out over 200 prisoners.
Now, how can that be a massacre?
So then the northern government had a Congress, and I know you're going to find this as a shock.
The United States Congress will lie to you, and the federal government will lie to you.
Came up with this report that this was a massacre.
And they printed up 40,000 of these books, this report, and sent it to you.
He got an original copy from a listener of this program just yesterday.
And they sent it to newspapers all over the north to repeat this lie and whip up anti-South sentiment in the North.
So fortunately, we got a copy of that, an original copy yesterday, and very much appreciate that gift.
Thank you, sir, and thank you to the family.
We won't mention their names on the air, but your fans from Missouri.
All right, thank you.
Certainly appreciated it.
Gene Andrews, everybody, caretaker of the Forest Boyhood Home, mainstay during our Confederate History Month series every year.
Thank you, Gene.
Stay there.
Courtney, now Jack Ryan is going to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jack's got a fan out there in Sam Bushman, the owner of the network.
Listen, there's been a lot of people that have done a lot for this program who have been on-air contributors and countless hours we've spent together from afar on the air.
Tonight we're together.
Tonight we're just feet away.
You and Courtney are two of those people who for all of these years and all of this time have really meant a lot to the program.
Now, very quickly, ladies and gentlemen, very quickly, all the years she's been appearing, if you've appreciated the contributions of Courtney from Alabama, let her hear it with your applause.
And, Jack, I know you're a fan as well.
She's a great Southern woman, and there's some beautiful women here, mostly Southern, but they're all married.
So if you want to get up, beautiful women, get on it early.
I had a couple Southern girlfriends, Miss Cindy Ray from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Beth from Texas.
But these beautiful gals don't wait forever, so you should get on.
Otherwise, you might be stuck in a big city, northern city, with women like Hillary Clinton from Chicago.
So we always say, oh, we're not about hate.
We're about heritage.
And I hate these big city women like Hillary Rodham Clinton.
And I think those Al-Qaeda terrorists that we have down in Guatemalo Bay, we said, okay, we can't buy, what was it, bodyboard them?
What kind of torture did they do them?
Well, I'm up for torture.
I think they should have to marry these big city women like Hillary Clinton.
And yeah, so you got a lot of free time.
If you ever go up to a big city like Chicago, you see these amazing buildings, these architectural jewels, and you can just see these bright men don't want to hang out, spend a lot of time with these women that they married from these big cities.
Just let me out of here.
I'll work on the design.
And so they do this.
So you southern gentlemen that are married to these beautiful gals, you should really just be appreciated.
And other us can just be jealous about it.
All right.
Thank you.
Hey, Jack, listen.
I met you for the first time at one of our events.
Maybe it was the 15th anniversary.
Does that sound about right?
About five years ago.
And you were one of the Brad's OD guys.
And that's where I first knew you from.
And we met for the first time in 2015 and became fast friends.
And you've been an integral part of the program as a contributor ever since.
What has that meant to you?
Well, I went to college in the South at Vanderbilt University.
I've been trying to flee the bad politics that have swept our country, bad liberal leftists.
I can't mention this group, but it starts with J, ends with W, and rhymes with you-know-who.
So I've been dealing with this since I was seven years old in Chicago.
It was 1968, the convention.
We got another one coming in.
So I was trying to flee these bad politics for my whole life.
And I went to Vanderbilt University to go to the South.
It was a southern school.
It's not really so much there.
And then after college, I went to New York City and was something to do.
I was a Brooklyn public school teacher for two years.
So I see these military people and say, You ever serve in the military?
And I said, I was in combat for two years.
I was a Brooklyn public school teacher for seventh and eighth-grade kids.
So, yeah, I have been through it.
And I was living, I got an MBA from the number one MBA program in America, Stern New York University, where their graduates supposedly average $100,000 their first year out.
Well, I did not get that.
I got sabotaged at some TA meeting where I defended Dan Quayle at a vice president.
Look at that.
Look at that hate crime.
Well, I mean, I said he was kind of dumb, but you know, he was from the Midwest, Indiana, was from Illinois.
But the city was falling apart.
Terrible crime, 2,000 murders a year, atrocities.
Some of these atrocities leaked out to the national media, others didn't.
Tourists from Utah being murdered on the train, gang rape of the Central Park jogger.
Donald Trump took out a full-page advertisement in the New York Post calling for the death penalty.
I wrote the same thing, it was printed as a letter to the editor.
But I fled New York City.
I felt I had to go on a mission to warn the rest of the country about what was coming.
I predicted the Islamic terrorist attack.
They had the first one in 93.
I know my history, unlike George W. Bush, I don't think he's probably ever read a real history book in his life.
And I went back to Nashville, Tennessee.
I had worked in mainstream conservative, and I tried to tell him what was going on.
Nothing was happened.
And I did meet David Duke, and he told me about some things.
So I've been in this movement one way or another since then.
And I met James.
We have intelligent, good people who have decent politics.
And it's so nice to know that you're not completely alone, which I felt like I have been a lot of my life.
But not anymore.
And you smell good, Jack.
I can smell.
What fragrance is that?
Oh, boy.
I do not know.
I'll figure it out later.
But anyway, Jack Ryan, everybody.
One of our, yeah, one of our contributors on TPC.
Courtney, before we let you slide down from your seat, what do you got coming up for us?
Your next appearance is going to be 4th of July.
What do you got for us in the 4th of July?
Give us a sneak peek.
No, she knows what she's going to say.
She plans these things like eight months in advance.
Oh, boy.
I'm so self-conscious about this.
But I – okay.
Well, I hope they really are sincere, that they really do enjoy what I talk about because it's going to be, you know, a little bit more of the same but different.
The 4th of July, I'm going to talk about, you know, the whole nation of immigrants myth and how it's just not historically accurate.
We're going to defend the South somehow, some way in that, because we never have you on where that's not, except for maybe a Halloween.
Except for Halloween, maybe we don't do that.
Well, it's me.
It's who I am.
Hey, thanks for being a part of the program.
Thanks for being a part of the family.
Thanks for being a part of this event tonight.
And I know it's difficult to travel, especially when you have a young family and time away from home and the expense of it all.
Thank you for being here, Courtney from Alabama, ladies and gentlemen.
Give it to her one more time.
Now, Scoop Stanton, well, maybe he'll tell you the story of how we first met.
Slide over one seat, Scoop, just so it doesn't fall off.
But Scoop is our resident historian of all things TPC.
He remembers the chronological order of events and all of the hits, all of the news, all of the things we've ever done, much more so than even I do.
Anytime we have an anniversary program, he's part of it.
He is the host of the fourth hour, Radio 7.5, 7.5 Radio.
7.5 Radio.
And if you like TPC, you'll love 7.5 Radio.
It comes on immediately after us.
Scoop, you've been a part of it since damn near the beginning from Rhoda, Spain.
He had a 30-minute talk tonight.
I think he meant 10 because we got to sing Dixie.
Take it away, Scoop.
The next 10 minutes are yours.
Thank you, sir.
First off, good evening, political Cesspool family.
I got to do you like I do Keith.
Thank you, sir.
My name is Peter Scoop Stanton.
I am the Washington, D.C. correspondent for the political cesspool.
Now, during anniversary season on the Cesspool, I am tasked to give a retrospect.
I first started off with a top 10 list as the Cesspool was in its infancy.
And then as the years moved on, it became harder and harder as we did some things, to say the least.
After a while, it just became too hard.
It was like me trying to come up with the best Rolling Stones albums in order.
So anyways, what I've ended up doing is just do a retrospect of what's been going on.
Now, this is not in any particular order, but anyways, tonight shouldn't be a celebration.
It should be a celebration of 20 years on the air.
It should be a celebration of being vindicated.
What am I talking about?
We have been telling you for years what is going on.
And we've been called every name of the book, racist, white nationalist, Nazi, anti-Semitic, homophobic.
You name it, we've been called it, and we wear it as a badge of honor.
So, anyways, now the so-called mainstream conservative media has no choice but to talk about it.
This segment should be called, We Told You.
Hell, we are so far ahead in conventional wisdom that we're having a 20th anniversary celebration five months early.
Anyways, here's a list of things that we told you about and that the people went after us.
And now, once again, everybody in mainstream media has no choice but to talk about it.
First off, the alphabet mafia.
The Cesspool has been fighting this since day one against the gay agenda.
Now, I don't care what people do behind closed doors.
Well, I'll say that for political cesspool after dark.
But anyways, in its infancy, when the gay mafia was coming after us, we tried to put a stop to it.
We told you all, now we got gay marriage, gay adoptions, gender reassignment for children.
You have gay pride flags in public schools, folks.
And unfortunately, due to the First Amendment, there's nothing we can do about it but vote out people in the school board.
But now you have people like Mark Dice and Brandon Tame talking about it, but not the cucks like David Rubin, Glenbeck, or Ben Shapiro, obvious reasons.
But despite the major differences we have with the Alphabet Mafia, we were one of the very few conservative outlets or any media outlets to talk about the Pulson nightclub shooting in Florida.
Despite our differences with these people, they have the right to peacefully assemble, do what they want to do, go about the business.
And that's what they did.
And then you have some Muslim who has an issue against gay people shoot up a nightclub.
And, you know, we talked about it.
Nobody else did because I guess there's a hierarchy for victimization.
Next, the war on cops.
On Saturday, December 20th, 2014, Sean Bergen told me that two cops were assassinated in Brooklyn.
Sean knew it would be a big story, and unfortunately, he was right.
And we said there will be a war on cops, and there is a war on cops.
There's still a war on cops.
The battle was slowed a little bit with Donald Trump.
Now, since this incident in 2014, I make it a point to read off the names of cops murdered in line of duty.
So unfortunately, the list goes on and on and on and on.
So we had people like Jim Lancia, Richard Mac, Walter Yerku, and Mike Rick Brandt on this network.
All these people were in law enforcement one time or another, including yours truly, for a short time.
And, you know, we support the rank and file law enforcement.
But unfortunately, once you achieve the rank of chief, you're a politician.
Next, cancel culture.
In July 2014, the radio alleged Anthony Coomey was fired from Sirius XM.
Two days before his new show, he became on the political assessbool where he canceled us.
But the political assessable has been canceled way before Coomiya.
We were the first outfits to be canceled.
Guests have been canceling.
Networks won't carry us.
And unfortunately, no financial processing company will take the political assessable business.
People wanted to give money to them to give to us, but they said, nope.
So now you got to write a check or send cash or pull some money in your pocket, give it to James after the show.
Anyways, next, we talked about the border way before 2007.
And now all of a sudden, in 2016, oops, hey, let's build a wall.
Now the wall came down.
Now we got to build the wall again.
But we had the minimum on live from the border.
Next, snake oil salesman.
The political assessbool was one of the first outlets to denounce, decry, and expose the SPLC and the ADL.
These outfits were telling old ladies that the KKK boogeyman would come to their door unless they wrote a check.
Now we all know the SPLC is some trash.
And finally, mainstream conservatives starting to call out the SPLC and the ADL, including Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, and Mark Dice.
And unfortunately, in our movement, there are snake oil salesmen doing the same thing.
They're grifters.
You know who they are, and hopefully they go find a real job.
Next, Donald Trump.
June of 2015, we were the first outfits to endorse Donald Trump for president.
Then, of course, you know, eventually Glenn Beck came on, and then reluctantly, Ben Shapiro came on because I guess people were, he was afraid people were going to cancel their subscriptions to Daily Wire.
Next, Jewish power and influence.
We've been called everything but a childlike guy when we expose our truth.
All we're doing is stating facts.
And now, guess what?
You got people like Candice Owens, Tucker Carlson, Mark Dice saying what we've been saying.
Again, we've been vindicated.
Yeah, she's a grifter.
Next, race relations.
We have been hearing for years from American society that white people are the enemy.
White people are the cause of all society's problems with affirmative action quotas, DEI, or didn't earn it, and a rush of couples and commercials.
Even President Biden and Chris Rock noticed this.
So anyways, we've been calling this for decades.
And now, finally, mainstream conservative media is starting to open their eyes with great replacement.
Anyways, in terms of guests, we had a whole bunch of people, including a former and current congressman, Drew Lackey, who locked up Rosa Parks, Bo Grites, General Howell Moore.
We also had survivors of the USS Liberty on the show for the 50th anniversary.
And I got to keep this moving.
Anyways, our greatest event or significant event happened to do with Penal County, Arizona Sheriff Paul Babiu.
Mr. Babiu was on the show to talk about the immigration problem.
I'm not sure we're going to talk about that anymore.
Well, it's my time.
Anyways, it was a gigantic mess.
And we were, the cesspool was denounced by Congress.
James and Eddie were not.
James and Eddie were on the show getting very emotional.
Ire was on the air.
I was listening.
I was just a listener.
I was getting emotional.
It was our proudest moment at the political cesspool.
And you know, of the people in Congress who asked to be recognized to denounce us personally on the air, it included Sheila Jackson, Lee, and Hakeem Jeffries, who is now the Speaker of the House with Mike Johnson as his proxy.
Exactly.
But anyways, real quick, I need to thank James for everything.
It's my dream to be on talk radio.
Now I host my show, my own show, right after this, 75radio.org.
That's the number 75 at radio.org.
Check us out.
After the show, also log on to libbynewsradio.com.
But anyways, real tip, James, you are family.
You helped me live my dream.
I couldn't be any happier.
Couldn't be more indebted to you.
You have a lovely family, and I probably got about 10 seconds before we sing Dixie.
Take it away, sir.
Scoop Staten, everybody.
Scoop Staten.
Hey, Scoop, very quickly before we sing Dixie, because that's how we close every live broadcast.
Tell them about the first time we met and how we even came to know each other in the first place.
It was through Amrin.
You were in Rhoda, Spain in the Navy, and you sent an email, you started contributing, and then you came to Memphis and you burst into the studio live at the station.
I burst into one minute.
I burst in the restroom because I was going from Fort Lenwood, Missouri to the beanfield in Millington.
I had to use the restroom, and James said, Eddie, somebody here?
I think Scoop's supposed to be here.
Now, he's like, you got your Ruger?
I'm handling my business.
I was like, uh-oh, I'm going to get popped at the studios out in the beanfield.
So finally, it's like, oh, good, a scoop.
So in 30 seconds, I sat down.
We keep rolling, and I said, I'm home.
But then after that, that night, we went to a karaoke bar.
What did we sing?
We sang Run Around Sue.
And we brought the house down.
I don't usually sing in karaoke, but we were like the rolling goddamn stones.
Women were throwing their own menstruals up there.
I was getting phone numbers left and right.
They carried James on their shoulders.
It was wild.
Well, when you sing Deion, that's going to happen, of course.
Scoop Staten, everybody.
That's a true story.
Well, part of it anyway.
All right.
Well, this is one of the most memorable nights of my career.
The 20th anniversary.
It only can come once.
Unlike all the other birthdays, 20 only comes once.
But now we're going to close the show as we do every live broadcast we have ever done.
And we're going to sing the best demoralizing songs that there is.
Everyone stand for the national anthem if you don't mind.
Steve, up early.
And I know we've lost some of the crowd to attrition.
It has been a 13-hour day since we started.
It's been a 13-hour day, but get a little closer, everybody.
Our goals are each other.
Now, we've learned this lesson, have we not, Hunter?
To hold the microphone out and not to our mouths.
And that way.
We're about to hold it this close again.
No, no, no.
We've learned that lesson.
All right.
We're just going to do the first verse.
We're not going to do all the other verses.
We have a war version.
We've done like four verses before.
We're not going to do that tonight.
But before we sing it, one more round of applause for my longtime co-host, a man who is an indispensable part of the program, Mr. Keith Alexander.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, let me unbutton this to we fight for our past, our present, and our future.
Are you ready, Hunter?
I'm ready.
Let's go.
I was in the land of cotton.
Old times aeronaut and forgotten.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land, where I was born.
Early on with Frosty Morning.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.
And I wish I was in Dixie.
Hooray, hooray.
In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
GIVE HER MY W- Ladies and gentlemen, you've been a magnificent audience.
Thanks for coming to Montana tonight to be with us.
And we'll do it again for a 25th anniversary from the prison yard, most likely.
But we will all be together, and that's what's important.
That's where you need to be tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
That address right there.
If you're not taking the bus with us, that address right there, put it into your GPS.
You leave here at 9 o'clock to get there at 9:30.
That is the address.
Save it.
Bookmark it.
Write it down.
I think I hear the music.
I'm pretty sure.
Anyway, good night.
God bless you.
Enjoy the rest of the evening.
We'll see you in the morning.
Boarding begins on the bus at 8:30.
Whatever you do tonight, I don't care.
Stay up all night, but be in the lobby at 8:30 to board the bus and to get in your car so we can leave it at non so we can all be there at 930.
You don't want to miss the end of the weekend with Michael Hill.
