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.
Welcome back, everybody.
This holiday weekend, Saturday evening, May the 25th, James Edwards and Keith Alexander still basking in the glow of your company from last weekend.
And I know a lot of people have been talking about this event.
I have seen word of it posted everywhere, whether it be Brad Griffin's speech or his review of the event.
It has been posted at Occidental Descent, V-DARE, Counter Currents, The Occidental Observer, American Renaissance did a podcast on it, UNS Review.
I mean, I couldn't believe it.
It was a fantastic event made so memorable by the attendees and, of course, our speakers.
And one speaker, the only way the event could have been any better, there was only one thing that didn't go perfectly according to plan, and it involved our good friend, Nick Griffin, the former member of European Parliament, regular guest on this show, friend of mine for going on as long as the show has been on, 20 years.
You know, I met him.
He's been a star.
He's been in the trenches with us for 20 years.
He is one of my all-time favorite people that I have met through doing this, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, a dear friend.
And Nick had purchased his plane ticket and booked his hotel room, and then he got turned away by U.S. customs.
And of all the injustices that I have experienced and all of the things that you come to expect being in this cause, there was something about the pettiness of that.
Turning away a former member of European Parliament, turning away literally a national leader for no reason.
This man has not committed a crime.
It's almost like Jared Taylor.
He comes over to go to speak at conferences in Europe and they turn him back.
That's the reciprocity, I guess, in that.
But there's no reason to do this.
No legitimate reason.
Just sheer pettiness and disdain.
But, oh, Nick would have been, he was such a hit.
I've never seen a video screen receive such an ovation as I saw after his remarks.
And had he been there, he would have been such in his element.
We'd have been up late having a few drinks, and he would have really been the star of the show.
Certainly one of them.
But that's the way it went.
And I said, well, you know, if he'd have just been someone crossing over the border illegally intending to rape and murder and pillage, no problem.
But he wasn't allowed entry.
So he went back and he prepared a video presentation, which was certainly one of the highlights of the weekend.
And it's one that we have that we can play for you.
So if you're wondering what was some of the content of the conference, you'll be here.
Wonder no more.
For the next 20 minutes, we will share with you and then we'll get on with it.
So this is Nick Griffin's speech at TPC's 20th anniversary conference.
Well, hello, everybody.
And I'm very sorry I'm not with you, but I'm sort of with you.
It's as good as we can get.
And many thanks, of course, to the technical chaps there who've helped to sort this out.
So I'm really sad that I can't be with you at your event for the 20th anniversary of the first airing of political cesspool by James Edwards and his fantastic team.
I'd love to have been there, not least because really I hate speaking to a camera.
I would far rather be there with a live audience, interacting with you, bouncing around the place.
It's so much livelier and better, but this is all we can do.
So apologies for it not being as good as it should have been.
I'm sure that your event will be absolutely fantastic, not least because it's all about James Edwards and the political cesspool.
Now, I don't remember when we first met, but I do remember that I was introduced to a young James Edwards.
He's still younger than me and some of the other old war horses there.
You know who you are.
But he was then a much younger man.
I was introduced and told James here is doing a really good politics show and it started to win awards and so on.
And we shook hands and we talked for a while and we began a correspondence and a working together, which has gone on to this day.
And I found James to be one of, probably not fair to say the best because it would put other people's noses out of joint, but certainly one of the best in the whole American scene there nearly 20 years ago and still today.
It's always a pleasure to work with James.
He's so professional.
He's so positive.
He's so loyal and he's so right on so many things.
So James, congratulations on a great day.
And I hope the rest of the conference goes as well as it has so far.
Now, when I met James for the first time, I was working at the time to make the British National Party electable in Britain.
It's a project which really I started in about 1994.
And when I did so, I went around all the branch meetings, telling them, look, we've got 25 years before the demographics of this place are so against us that we cannot turn things around again after that point by electoral political means.
It'll be simply too late.
So we've got to get serious, we've got to get knuckle down to business, we've got to clean up our act and we've got to try very hard to make ourselves electable because we've only got 25 years.
And we tried.
I tried.
Some of you, and you know who you are, some of you helped in different ways as well.
I remember you and you have my thanks.
And James, of course, was one of them.
And ultimately, we failed.
We didn't turn things around and the 25 years are up.
But we had some fun along the way and learnt things along the way.
Now, James did ask if I could perhaps have some, bring some anecdotes with me of my times as particularly a member of the European Parliament when we've terrified the British establishment for more than 10 years.
At one point, President Obama lent the Labour Party his whole Blue State Digital campaign team to teach them how to stop the British National Party.
We really gave them nightmares.
So there's many anecdotes from that time, but we push for time.
So there's only one, which I've regarded as the funniest thing that happened to me.
It does come with an Anglo-Saxon language expletive warning.
So if you're delicate about these things, do cover your ears in a minute.
It was one summer in about 2010, I think, very hot period.
And we were out campaigning on the doorstep in the sun all day long.
And I can tell you a secret that when I'm exposed to the sun for more than about 10 minutes, I go very brown indeed.
I've done all my DNA ancestry stuff.
There's not a drop of non-European in me, but there's a fair bit of Welsh from my grandfather's side, Mr. Thomas.
And he went very, very brown in the sun, and so do I.
So at the end of a long, hot summer, I, I won't say I was black, but I was very, very dark.
And we were campaigning in a town in northern England called Burnley and walking down the street with a group of my campaigners and security guards, because we needed them in those days.
We passed a pub where fellas were sitting outside in the sun enjoying a beer.
And as we passed, there was this gale of laughter from one man.
And as we carried on down the street, we heard one of his mates say, What's so funny?
Broad Lancashire accents.
And this fellow said, Fukin Packy looks like Nick Griffin.
I was doubled up with laughter so much I couldn't go up and go back and tell him that that Packy was actually Nick Griffin and that I'm not really a Packy at all, wasn't then and I'm not now.
But that's one of my treasured memories of all that period.
Absurd, of course, though it was.
But like I say, we didn't succeed in saving Britain despite our best efforts.
And we learned, well, I learned time's up.
It can't be done again.
I know that many of you in America, you'll look at parties across in Europe, you know, which are now up and coming in places like Germany and Sweden, and they're being presented as a terrible threat.
They're far right, they're nearly fascists, they're going to do terrible things, they'll ethnically cleanse Europe.
No, they won't.
Maloney in Italy was an example.
These people are wholly owned Zionist fakes who are promising the earth and will deliver nothing.
Cannot be turned around in Western Europe.
It's too late.
Am I being defeatist?
No, I don't think so for one minute.
I'm being realistic.
And I can tell you that I've never ever been more positive about the long-term future of our people than I am now.
So we failed to turn things around electorally, but I'm more positive now than I was when I thought it was possible.
How come?
Why?
Because we always understood, those of us who were seeking a political revolution in Britain and other countries as well, we've always understood that this is not possible when the ruling elite are still dominant, in power, everything's stable.
It really can't be done.
So we always posited that before we could have a nationalist political revolution, we would have to have a complete collapse of the old order and in effect, pick power out of the gutter.
And so we were hopeful about a collapse.
And we said, well, fundamentally, you know, the fiat money system is pretty unstable.
Sooner or later, it will crumble.
They'll make so many mistakes, it'll fall apart one way or another one day.
But that was as good as we can get.
And I now believe that it's absolutely inevitable that the system is going to collapse drastically and sooner rather than later.
It's inevitable for a number of reasons.
First of all, in years gone by, you had whatever your elite was, whatever sort of brand of elite, its job for itself, of course, was to rob the rest of the population blind.
But in order to make sure that there was plenty of money coming into its coffers, it had to at least try to make sure, and they did, that the economy and the country, the nation as a whole, were working reasonably well.
Sometimes they had crazy political ideas like the communists, and things didn't work well at all.
But even they tried to make things work.
Very different now.
For the first time in world history, we've got a ruling elite which isn't going to drag down and destroy our society, our economy and everything by mistake.
They're openly doing it deliberately.
They are destroying farming and food production.
They are destroying the hard energy base of our entire society.
It shifted.
The old clash between capitalism and communism was really an argument about who should own. the means of production, distribution and exchange.
It's very different now.
The ruling class now aren't interested in changing or even maintaining the ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange.
They are hell-bent on destroying the means of production, distribution and exchange.
And they're hell-bent on destroying it.
They're going to get their way.
On top of that, we've got a demographic collapse of the whole world outside of sub-Saharan Africa.
Nationalists, us, and I know people in the room there, we've always tended to view the demographic question as just about us and them coming in in huge numbers.
That's obviously part of it.
But the crux of the demographic crisis of the 21st century world is that no industrial society, white, yellow, whatever, is having enough children to maintain its current numbers.
Nothing like all of them are going to hell in a handcuff of demographic collapse.
And if anyone thinks that sub-Saharan Africans can fill the gap, they obviously don't know much about sub-Saharan Africa.
It ain't going to happen, as I'm sure you all know.
So we have the fiat currency system that I mentioned, and we always used to hope it would collapse.
But why would it collapse?
They can simply print more money.
And when overall, the population growing, the economy was growing as well.
Not anymore.
We are in a world from now onwards of ever more shrinking population, especially productive populations.
Therefore, the economy.
Okay, there'll still be some ups, but overall, when the population was growing all the time, the economy grew all the time.
And the debt-based fiat money system worked.
When the population, especially the working and the properly skilled section of the population, is shrinking drastically and irreversibly for generations, which is where we are now, then the old fiat money system is doubly doomed because it could just about work in expanding economy, but it's going to be contracting from now on.
On top of that, since the 1940s and just thereafter, we've had the petrodollar.
The petro dollar is dying.
The American dollar as a global reserve currency is dying on its feet.
It's going to be replaced by something from what the other nations, the big nations in the world, call a multipolar world.
Nothing's going to stop it happening.
On top of that, you've got military collapse.
Military collapse, because the whole might that the people running or ruining the United States of America have projected across the world since the middle of the 1940s, that was based on money.
It was based on the dollar as a reserve currency and the fact that the people ruining America uniquely among the world could print money which the rest of the world had to buy with real goods.
It's gone.
It's that close to going and going forever.
And once there's not that money coming in, money just for printing money, then America, the people ruining America, will lose the ability to project their power over the rest of the world.
And I don't think that sensible Americans should mourn the loss of the American capability to ruin the world, bearing in mind that the dollar empire, the Washington Empire, the Capitol Hill Empire first began dominating and looting and robbing and destroying the world by declaring war on a large section of the people of America during the war between the states.
So the sooner this monstrosity goes, the better for all of us, including the people of America.
So thinking of history, I'm sure many of you will be thinking now of historical parallels.
We see them all the time, especially this gruesome, frightening parallel between our times and 1914, when the whole of our world just seemed to blunder unthinkingly into World War.
The only difference really between 1914 and now is that our masters are not blundering unthinkingly into World War III.
They're doing it quite deliberately.
They seem utterly insane.
So it's reasonable for us to think, yeah, are we actually in June 1914?
How much worse is it going to get?
Indeed, we'll pass on that.
But there's another date which I think we're really quite close to as well in terms of revolution.
And that's 1789.
Obviously, it's a very different form of revolution.
The coming nationalist and traditionalist revolution is nothing at all.
It's the mirror image of the liberal Masonic Bolshevik thing that came out of 1789.
But where did that come from?
It came primarily because Louis XVI, from 1776, the minute the tea went in the harbour in Boston, Louis poured vast amounts of France's wealth into helping you people get rid of the rule of the King of England.
And of course, you succeeded.
Louis succeeded in his war aim, but in doing so, he completely bankrupted France and led directly to the General Estates being called and the cycle of events which led to him and his queen being executed in Paris a few years later.
And I think we're very much like 1789 now, because the Western powers in general and the United States in particular have finished off their bankrupting themselves by funding an unwinnable and insane war in Ukraine.
At least Louis XVI had the, must have had the satisfaction of seeing Britain thrown out of a large part of the continent of North America.
So his side won.
Ukraine, the side that our masters have picked, has lost.
Definitely so.
And on top of it all, on top of it all, Israel has torn up the twin get out of jail free cards that they've been waving around since 1948 and that every single member of the Jewish supremacist lobby has been waving around since then as well.
They've torn up those twin cards.
One marked Holocaust, the other marked genocide.
So the whole post-war liberal settlement, my friends, has been based financially on the global reserve currency, the dollar.
It's gone.
It's been based militarily on US military supremacy and the belief that American weapons were far better than anybody else could produce.
We found that isn't the case now in Ukraine.
It's very clear that Russian weapons, for that matter, Chinese weapons and so on, are made for the purpose of killing the enemy as efficiently and cheaply as possible.
The weapons that our masters have invested vast fortunes of our taxes in in the West are designed to make profits for the military-industrial complex.
It's a huge difference and their weapons have been shown to be better than our weapons.
Economically, the post-war liberal settlement was based on the US industrial base.
Gone.
China is now the manufacturing motor engine of the world, and nothing that anyone can do is going to change it.
Even sanctions against, for instance, the microchips semiconductor industry merely resulted in the Chinese building their own far more quickly and more effectively than they otherwise would have done so.
So that's not going to change.
And finally, the post-war liberal settlement was based morally, I can use the word inadverted commerce, morally on the unique evil of Auschwitz.
And that too, they've torn up those cards.
It's all gone.
So the old order is going to collapse and wonderful new things, the things that James and you have talked about, wonderful new things, are going to be possible.
These new things, what's possible is going to be different in different places.
In some countries, perhaps several of the southern states of Europe, where the mass immigration, multicultural attempt to destroy us and our people is very, very recent in its implementation.
In those places, I think there could well be, when the old order collapses, a great spring cleaning.
And those countries will revert, albeit with demographic problems of their own, which will take a lot of overcoming, they'll revert to basically what they were.
In other countries, including Britain, it's too late to turn it around.
We are going to be the minority in our own country.
It's absurd to say otherwise.
But I can tell you this: we're going to be the largest minority for a very, very long time.
So we have ahead of us, and it becomes possible once the old order collapses, at least then we can start on the long road to build new institutions which defend that minority, our people, and help it to be actually a dominant minority and to provide the ballast for a new society, which I think will look a bit like the Lebanon or Syria did before the CIA, MI6, and the Mossad tore them apart.
I'd rather we were not there, but we are.
We have to be realistic.
It's far, far from perfect.
It'll always be unstable and dangerous, but it'll be much better than what we have now.
But where does that leave the United States of America?
There too, I think.
You have to accept there's no turning back, no reversing it back to the white America of 1965, the largely white America, the overwhelmingly white America.
Can't go back.
It's too many of them.
Even if there's a civil war, they'll still be there.
In the end, who wins a civil war?
Well, neither side really wins a civil war at a certain level.
But whoever wins the civil war, even if our side wins, were to win a civil war, the others will still be there in vast numbers.
So America, from sea to shining sea, every single one of the states at present, cannot be restored in the way that we would have loved to see it restored.
But the size and history of America speak to another perfectly acceptable and bright future.
Secession.
America, the collapse that is coming, will almost certainly tear America into pieces.
There will be secession.
Either they will leave you or you will leave them.
I'm talking politically here, but also ethnically, culturally, and so on.
There's going to be a secession.
So it's unfortunate if you live in New Mexico because it's going to become Mexico again, in all probability.
And in some of the southern states, which people have, of course, a huge emotional attachment to on account of the Confederacy and so on.
Well, some of them are lost forever as well.
So I'm not going to say, lovely slogan though it is, that the South will rise again.
But I am going to tell you that a white Christian American nation will rise out of the ruins of the collapse that is coming and will provide a homeland for our people on the continent of North America.
And when it does, I'll tell you one last thing before I could say goodbye.
When it does, James Edwards and those of you who've supported him all these years over the first 20 years of the political cesspool will be honored among the new founding fathers.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, my God Almighty, Nick Griffin.
They broke the mold when they made him.
We'll have keeped reaction to his speech next.
Pursuing Liberty, using the Constitution as our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA News, I'm Laura Winters.
The long holiday weekend underway right now with millions of Americans flying and others taking to the road.
Monday is Memorial Day.
A new Fox News poll of registered voters finds 55% of Americans say they will not be planning a vacation this summer.
42% say they will be.
Now, as for the reason some will not be taking a trip, 73% surveyed say they don't have the money.
15% say they just don't have the time.
Forecasters warning of a very active, hyper-active hurricane season this year.
NOAA predicting an 85% chance of an above-normal season.
There could be 17 to 25 named storms due to record warm water.
The hurricane season starts June 1st and runs through November.
Another setback for Democrats in the Senate as a border bill fails to pass.
USA's John Schaefer on the story.
The Senate has witnessed the failure of a border security bill for the second time.
Democrats are pointing fingers at Republicans, a move Senator John Cornyn of Texas anticipated.
Vulnerable Democrats, including the President of the United States, can try to fool the American people into believing that they really care when obviously they don't.
It's worth noting that Democrats, including California Senator Alex Padilla, also oppose the legislation.
They express dissatisfaction with the absence of discussions on visa expansion or assistance for the DREAMers.
Instead, the bill aimed to formalize catch and release policies and allocate a specific quota for daily asylum cases.
I'm John Schaefer.
And turning now to sports action on the ice, in game two of the NHL conference finals, the New York Rangers beating the Florida Panthers 2-1 in overtime and tie up the series one game apiece.

Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who have asked what were some of the speeches like, I presented to you just then.
I would say a standout.
There were no weak links.
They were all so good.
But Nick Griffin, what I really loved about his speech was that it was such a sober yet hopeful presentation.
Obviously, you're kidding yourself if you look at the world around us and say, well, things are going our way.
No, they're not.
They haven't been for a very long time, decades, many decades.
But Nick realizes that, very soberly analyzes the ground and says, but still here is where we can find hope.
Nick Griffin, what a fantastic storyteller.
What a fantastic speaker.
What a fantastic addition to last week's 20th anniversary conference.
Keith, just a couple of minutes' reaction to Nick, but that was, I think, very much a fine representation of the entire roster of speakers, everyone looking forward to what's coming.
Not necessarily looking forward to it with jubilation and glee, but looking forward to it and realizing what it is and planning for it.
Well, I think he really did hit the nail on the head in several ways.
First of all, every continent, with the exception of sub-Saharan Africa, is losing population.
We're not alone in this.
The Chinese are losing population.
The Europeans, the Middle Easterners, and Japanese, obviously, all over Central and South.
Well, everywhere but Africa.
Yeah.
And so where does that leave us?
I think you're right.
We're not winning, but I think more and more of our people now realize the dire straits that we're in.
And because of that, I'm going to suggest, you know, he was suggesting what we can do.
We need to be prepared, girding our loins.
Well, let me put it this way.
I want to borrow a phrase from my childhood.
Make love, not war.
How are we going to fight this?
What would you rather do?
Kill people or have sex with a beautiful member of the opposite sex.
Okay, I think most people know what the answer would be.
Well, if we have more children and then we can raise them and provide employment for them, that's really the best solution of all for our people.
What we need to do, for example, how many of you think that you're dumber than the average government school teacher?
Well, if you're not dumber than the average government school teacher, why don't you take up the mantle of educating your own children, homeschooling them like James and Danny have done?
See, we were basically bamboozled and oppressed by the powers that be in the Brown decision where they took away what had been a very serviceable public school system and ruined it for white parents.
Well, we can have the children, we can educate the children, then we can put them to work.
If you have a business, hire white people.
This is what we need to do.
This is the way we can transform the world back into a world that is good.
And by the way, don't buy this idea that you can't look at it all backwards.
Everything has to be brand new.
There's a lot to be learned from the past, but there's also a need for new ideas as well.
So I think that Nick, I think what we ought to have is one of our blog role entries this coming week just devoted entirely to Nick's speech.
I agree.
Well, you know, as a matter of fact, Keith, just this afternoon, Brad Griffin has a new entry at OccidentalDescent.com entitled, Is America Doomed, where he focuses and keys in on Nick's speech.
And Brad is writing almost as if you're reading the notes about, yes, look forward, but also not have any prior access to that.
So that's why I said there's a serendipity about this conference and these speeches.
Absolutely.
Because we're all reading from the same hymn book.
Here is the thing that Brad wrote just this afternoon, if you're listening live.
Basically, Brad writes, I believe in historical cycles.
I think a normal historical process is playing itself out right now.
Regimes collapse.
Nick was talking about that.
It has always been a feature of our history.
The American Revolution was the violent end of one regime and the beginning of a new one.
The war between the states was the violent end of one regime and the beginning of a new one.
The Great Depression, World War II, was the violent end of one regime and the beginning of a new one.
We are inside a crisis era at the end of a cycle.
As Nick Griffin explained, Brad Griffin writes at occidentaldescent.com, as Nick Griffin explained at the political cesspool conference, the post-World War II era is coming to an end.
We have spent our entire lives living through this era, which has its own unique mindset, morality, and art, all of which is best understood as an elite reaction to the lessons of World War II.
Liberal democracy triumphed and was established as the hegemonic Western ideology in World War II.
In 1700, it probably felt like the age of Louis would last forever.
In 1780, on the cusp of the French Revolution, however, the French court had become dangerously out of touch and isolated at Versailles.
It was a relic of a bygone age.
Davos is the Versailles of our global liberal elites.
Globalist elites gather there every year to brood over the rise of illiberalism and populism in the West.
Joe Biden is a walking corpse, and his decreptitude is the embodiment of the current exhausted state of Western liberalism.
That's what Nick was talking about.
That's what Brad is talking about.
That's what we were all talking about.
It is coming, and it doesn't need our help.
It is a natural historical cycle.
We will stoke the embers.
We will be ready to stand in the moment when the time comes.
But come it will.
And it doesn't need anybody going out and doing anything foolhardy to hasten the day.
It will happen.
It is going to happen.
Yeah, it doesn't need to be violent.
It doesn't need basically what we need to do is we've met the enemy, as Pogo said, and he is us.
We need to have more children.
We need to provide for them.
We need to provide schooling.
We need to provide jobs for them.
And if we can do that, it doesn't matter what the government tries to do to us.
We will survive and thrive.
Also, our people have been, you know, experts at self-defense throughout millennium.
So, you know, we really don't need to fear anything except fear itself.
What we need to do is identify the enemy and focus on our efforts, you know, be suspicious of who the enemy is, and then we can defend ourselves and prepare ourselves.
And that's what we need to be thinking about doing.
Okay, all this armed insurrection stuff, I don't think, you know, that's a good path to run for the extinction of our race.
We don't want our race to be extinct.
We need them to grow and thrive.
And that's where we need to put our focus.
All right.
So that was one of the speakers and speeches that you would have heard had you been there.
Glad we could get that out to the wider listening audience here on the radio tonight.
But that was really a fine example of the kind and the caliber of talks that we had there.
You can read Brad Griffins.
You just heard Nick Griffins, no relation, by the way.
But I certainly, except for ideological brethren, but it was top to bottom.
Again, just something that it didn't occur to me how special it was until I was home a couple of days and could really just take a breath and look back and say, you know, we did something.
You can just listen to both speeches and imagine that these people did not collaborate.
And they are so similar in so many different ways and so many ways.
We're going to hear in the next segment very briefly from both Warren Baylog and Tim Murdoch.
But at our pre-show powwow before the program this evening, you were commenting on Tim Murdoch especially.
Well, Tim really brings obviously, you know, Warren, all of them are all co-equals.
But, you know, Tim is really outside the box.
He's up here talking about methodology and how to gain the upper hand ideologically and spiritually by using language.
And that's a, you know, that's overlooked by a lot of people, but that is really a key.
And if you look back at what's happened over the past 20 years that the political cesspool has been in existence, that's the reason, if there is any reason, why we are in the ascendancy right now.
People are coming to us and they're coming to us because of the packaging of our movement.
See what 20 years ago.
No, it doesn't.
Not 20 minutes.
How many more 20-year cycles do you think we've got in a lifetime?
Well, too few, but on the other hand.
If you make it as long as your mom, you've got a couple of more.
But the thing is, we've got to make haste while the sun shines.
That's right.
And the sun is shining, so let's get out and make some hay.
No, so that's that.
But yeah, I want to thank again Nick Griffin for participating in the way that he could.
Again, just such a wrong that a man like that not be able to travel.
I mean, what in the hell are we doing?
We doing this system.
What are you doing?
Such a despicable.
I cannot wait for you to fall.
You will fall.
It is inevitable.
And we'll be right back.
Evil will not prevail.
Only for a time.
And for a time it has.
And this time is ending.
We'll be right back.
The Honorable Cause of Free South is a collection of 12 essays written by Southern Nashville Talkers.
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?
The Honorable 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 and Toad, Arkansas congressional candidate and activist Neil Kumar,
host and creator of the dissident mama podcast, Rebecca Gillingham, author of A Walk in the Park, My Charlottesville Story, Identity Diction, 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.
I have a question.
Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens?
Can a country founded on God-given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our creator?
I believe that great nations and great civilizations spring from a people who have a moral compass.
I don't think a civilization can long endure that does not have respect for all human life, born and not yet.
I will be in earnest.
I will not equivocate and I will not excuse.
I will not retreat an inch and I will be heard.
One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life.
Reflecting for one more week on last week, a week that we celebrated 20 years on the radio program, maybe a bit early.
Our actual 20th anniversary won't be until October, but it was an early birthday party and one well spent.
So many people there, not just the speakers, but the attendees were of such a high quality.
And you mentioned just listening to the commercial break there a moment ago, Keith, that Ann Wilson Smith, who was a co-author for the book, The Honorable Cause that we contributed to, along with Michael Hill, she was there, and what a fine lady.
But her father was there, Dr. Clyde Wilson, the preeminent Southern historian, a former university professor at the University of South Carolina.
And it was my first time to ever meet him in person after having read him, you know, for all these years.
And I just went up and I just thanked him.
I shook his hand and just thanked him for being there.
The fact that a man like that and men and women and boys and girls and all of the families, that any of them would show up.
What an honor.
But that he would show up especially so.
Well, what it is good.
It shows a father's love for his daughter and a daughter's love for her father and people's love for their ancestors and their descendants.
All that was flowing through that room.
And it was just a wonderful sight to behold.
It was.
And that was one of the reasons we kind of went a little bit.
I never do this, but a little, you know, one of the reasons we went a little bit into the red on this one was that, you know, I'll tell you, the thing is, we had a TPC anniversary party 10 years ago.
It was our 10-year anniversary 10 years ago.
And we set the price for the conference registration fee.
So 10 years later, at the 20th anniversary, I kept the fee the same thing.
And I didn't raise the price.
You'd have to double it to catch up with the prices, you know, the increase in the prices to rent a room and to book a room and to, you know, the catering, which is grossly and obscenely inflated.
You'd have to double the price.
But I'm looking at inflation the way it is right now.
And I'm looking at the fact that all of these people are traveling.
And I know the price of a plane ticket.
And I know the price of gas, a tank of gas.
I know how much it costs to stay two nights in a hotel room.
There's nobody who came to that event last week that spent anything less than between $500 and $1,000.
Really, $1,000 would probably be about the base just to be there.
And I couldn't say, yeah, pay all of that and then give us $300 or $400 a piece so we can break even.
No, I kept the prices the exact same price they were at the 10-year anniversary party because I just wanted people to be there.
I wanted us to all be together because I know how important that is.
And then people wanted to bring their kids.
Am I going to charge the kids?
Am I going to charge an eight-year-old $150 registration fee?
No, I'm not going to do that.
So all the kids were comped.
You know, they eat too.
All right.
So, you know, you're paying, you know, what would have been a $10.99 meal at Denny's.
You're paying $50 for it, you know, with hotel prices.
That's just the way it is.
I'm not going to charge the kids.
I want the kids to be there.
I want the families to be there because, you know what?
This cause, this radio program, this thing, this collective of ours, and that's the thing.
We're not individuals.
We're collective.
It attracts families.
It attracts strong men and beautiful women and their families and their children.
And I wanted that to be there.
And I wanted those kids to be there.
So we took a little bit of a hit.
I hope you'll remember the second quarter.
We got to dig out of that and still keep the show on the air.
But, you know, it wasn't much.
I mean, it wasn't really much, you know, as far as it goes.
It was a lot to us, but not a lot to, you know, a lot of people.
Well, it was gratifying to me to hear people commenting that there's been a change that rather than it being a bunch of middle-aged to old men exclusively, it was a broad, you know, panorama of the families, children, beautiful women, wives, mothers.
Certainly some of our elder statesmen, and God bless them.
And I'm so glad they were there.
But you had everything from infants in their mother's arms to people in their 80s.
Good manly men, both older men and younger men.
Everything, you know, it was true diversity, good diversity in our ranks there.
And that's what we need.
We need to be casting a broader net.
And that's what we've done.
I think someone had just asked me: if you were born in 1941, how old would you be, Keith?
I can't do that kind of math.
I would be 83.
I think the oldest in the crowd was 83, and the youngest was a newborn.
Yep.
That was it.
Somebody gave birth during the commercial.
No, the youngest was obviously not more than a couple of months old.
So, yeah, that was your, we ran from a couple of months old, you know, months old to mid-80s.
Yeah.
We had several people in the 80s.
There's no doubt about that.
But on the other hand, we had babies and young people.
We had a lot of people in their 20s and 30s.
And, you know, me and Warren in our 40s.
And speaking of Warren and his beautiful wife, Emily, they were there.
They have two young children, and they were at home with the grandparents.
But Warren kicked off his most recent live stream with Emily by talking about his experience at the Political Cesspool Conference.
And most recently, this past weekend, we went to the Political Cesspool's 20-year anniversary conference, which it was a private invite-only event for a long time, Political Cesspool viewers.
But that's why we were sort of building up to it.
You guys may have noticed why I had James Edwards on the show and why I made a recent appearance on the Political Cesspool.
And that was a fantastic event.
That was unbelievable.
And we saw a lot of our friends there, Tim Murdock from White Rabbit Radio, and many other Taylor was there, Sam Dixon, many, many other people.
I met some people that I've heard about for many years that I've never actually met, Brad Griffin of Occidental Descent, Hunter Wallace, also Jason Kessler.
And we kind of compared notes on our Charlottesville lawsuits.
He has a new book out that I got a copy of about Charlottesville and many others.
It was a phenomenal event.
Yeah, a month of great networking.
Yes.
And we did do a live recording that's on the Political Cesspool website.
And also, I can point you guys to Brad Griffin.
He wrote a fantastic review on Occidental Descent of the event itself, so you guys can see a little bit more about that.
But particularly meeting Jason Kessler and, as I said, comparing notes about our Charlottesville lawsuits and talking about Charlottesville and looking at through his book.
I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but going through it, I really wanted to do our latest episode of this show on something that happened a few weeks ago that we haven't really had a chance to comment on.
Now, it's something that I was able to cover live as it was unfolding on the War Strike stream that we did, but a lot of details have emerged since then.
And I think this is one of the bigger stories of the last month.
And that is, of course, the battle that took place at UCLA the night of April the 30th into May the 1st.
All right, if you want to know a little bit more about that, I encourage you to just do a simple Google search for Warren Bailaugh Odyssey, and you'll find the modern politics show that he does with his wife, Emily, Warren Bailaugh, B-A-L-O-G-H, and Odyssey is spelled O-D-Y-S-E-E for that video sharing platform.
But Warren Bailaugh Odyssey, and you can find, and he goes into the Zionist terror versus free speech.
And it's a look, all of these people are so fantastic.
That's the thing.
I am the consummate.
We are the consummate promoters and cheerleaders for all people doing good and honest work and bearing good fruit.
And I am the biggest fans of all of these people who were there last week and who spoke.
It is an all for one and one for all type of proposition here.
Warren Bailaugh, total ace.
And everybody seems to be more or less on the same page.
It's like, you know, it used to be that Jewish power and influence was hardly ever mentioned.
It was mentioned by virtually every speaker this time.
This is how things have gotten to, you know, things are coming together, folks.
I think people are awakening to the threat.
They know what the problems are.
And we are doing our, you know, we're making progress in the minds of people, which is the most important battlefield of all.
You know, and the other victories will come.
But first of all, you've got to make converts to your cause.
And when we come back, we will hear from Mark Weber.
And Amanda is speaking.
No live guest tonight.
I guess perhaps you picked up on that.
But we heard Nick Griffin's speech that he delivered via video at the conference.
That was Warren Bailaug earlier this week recapping the conference in his own way.
We will hear also similar recaps from Tim Murdoch and Mark Weber in the third and the final hour.
It's all coming up.
But yes, in the meantime, in the meantime, I would remind you that on Tuesday, we'll be mailing out TPC's second quarter fundraising appeal.
We have some wonderful incentives, always wonderful incentives for our donors.
$100 or more, you're going to receive a special collector's issue of the Barnes Review.
This is the June 2024 edition of the Barnes Review.
Keith has it in his hand right now.
I just received a box of these beauties.
It is an all-southern compilation that includes a featured 10-page Q ⁇ A that I conducted with Sam Dixon, an article about General Forrest by Gene Andrews, who, of course, was at the event last week, an essay by yours truly, and so much more.
It is a full Southern issue.
It's entitled For the Love of Dixie.
So $100 or more throughout the second quarter fundraising drive that kicks off now and ends in June 30th.
You'll get that.
$200 or more.
You're going to receive that special edition of TBR, that collector's edition of TBR.
You're also going to receive, that was mentioned just a moment ago by Warren Bailaug, a brand new book, hand-signed by Jason Kessler, Charlottesville and the Death of Free Speech.
It'll all be detailed for you.
If you're one of the existing contributors, you'll get a letter in the mail next week.
Christmas is typically our biggest fundraising appeal quarter.
We need Chris early.
We need you to respond to our second quarter fundraising drive.
And you'll get a letter in the mail, and you'll have to send a check or money order or welcome sealed cash back because we've been banned by every credit card processing company in the universe.
But we'll hope you'll do so.
We're in with the out-crowd.
We've been marginalized, but we couldn't be in better company.
