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.
Just back from our 20th anniversary conference in last week, this is Yankee Memorial Day weekend, the 25th of May.
And we're still looking back.
Always forward, never back, but we're going to look back on that one for one more week tonight.
I've enjoyed the night show, folks.
Obviously, a unique and unusual show, but everybody's talking about it.
That's the thing.
So how could everybody else talk about it and we not?
This conference, whether it be individual speeches or the event at large being covered this week by Countercurrents, V-DAIRE, the Occidental Observer, American Renaissance, obviously the Occidental Dissent.
And right here at TPC, people talking about it on their own programs.
Mark Weber, Warren Baylog.
Here is Tim Murdoch talking about it on White Rabbit Radio.
I got back from a big shindig.
It was a 20th anniversary party for James Edwards political cesspool.
He does an amazing job at putting these on.
I was really impressed with it.
It was a private gathering, just a large private gathering.
It wasn't like 30 people or 20 people.
It was like 130.
And they probably could have done double that, triple that, or whatever.
It just becomes there's only so big you can do it and keep it really private at like a nice facility and things like that.
You can rent out like a private barn like TRS used to do and do large gatherings, I guess, maybe upwards of 500 or maybe even 1,000.
But you're going to have a challenge eventually in the enemy will find out and cause all kinds of problems.
But this was, he keeps these mailing lists and he's had them for, obviously he's done this for 20 years.
He keeps mailing lists of very good supporters of his show.
And so he's able to do these quite large events privately.
It was like, again, it was the 20th anniversary.
I gave a speech about 30 minutes long.
I think it was 33 minutes.
I can show you a picture of me doing the speech, actually.
James sent it to me this morning.
And you can kind of see it right there.
See it?
That fellow right there.
And it went quite well.
I actually had to wear my glasses, which is rare.
Normally, I wouldn't wear glasses because I don't really need them to do anything except read small print.
But at this time, I was doing a general overview of White Rabbit Radio and where we're at and where we're at.
And I basically had bullet points.
I did not have a speech written.
I had bullet points since it's a private gathering since it is 20th anniversary.
I went over things slowly and talked about how things were developed and where we're at now.
But I was very impressed with his ability to throw a very large party.
I would actually hire him to throw a party because it's so damn good.
It was so damn good.
And the food was good.
Everything was good.
Everything was good.
The speeches, there was a lot.
The first night he had a very famous actor in some sectors, which is, I mean, it's very private, very private event.
I wouldn't have taken the approach I took if it wasn't very private, the speech I gave, or the things I talked about and the way I talked about it.
But he had on a famous actor.
I won't give the name because he'd probably lose his job, but I was very impressed with that, like as a leadoff.
Harry Cooper from Shark Hunters was there.
Yeah.
Jarrett Taylor.
Alec Baldwin.
No, it wasn't Alec Baldwin.
League of the South was there.
Yeah, there's all kinds of interesting characters there.
Nick Griffin came in by video.
He couldn't get into the country.
They banned him from getting into the country.
There was a whole host of intriguing things.
And we'll talk about some things as I see them.
I mean, you know, listening to all the people talk last week and maybe just go back and say, you know what?
Yeah.
It was something very good, very special.
Something that only the listening audience could have made possible.
We just, as I said, and I meant it, it's been the honor of my life to be able to have these guests on that we have every week and to have this audience.
And I sit back and I bask in the glow of their luminescence.
Let's listen to Mark Weber with Frodie Midjord on their weekly Guide to Culture series, weekly roundup with Mark Weber.
This is Mark's reaction to the conference.
James Edwards has a weekly show called The Political Cesspool, which is very successful.
It has a big impact here in the United States, and it's on a real radio network.
You can hear it on real radio, not just online.
But of course, it's also available online as well.
He's been doing broadcasting now for 20 years, and that was the purpose of this conference.
There were about 120-so people at this event, impressive group of people, many, a good proportion of younger people, people very bright, capable, and so forth, just as James Edwards himself is.
There was, of course, because it was marking 20 years of his time as a broadcaster, many of the speakers, including myself, said nice things about James Edwards, which he fully deserves.
For people who don't know who he is, he's a younger fellow.
He's married.
He has three children, three young children.
He's very personable, very quick-witted, very, has a very good voice for radio.
And he has a very good personality, a kind of winning upbeat.
He's always very upbeat.
One of the speakers pointed out he, in all the years, he's never gotten involved in any of the often bitter disputes between people.
And he stays above all of that like a cork on water.
He doesn't get submerged into all of that.
The speakers were good.
They was an impressive event that began on a Friday night and then went Saturday and then into Sunday.
And it was heavily southern because the program, if people are familiar with it, has a big emphasis on the heritage and the past and the identity of the South.
And so that was a kind of theme of the, or that was a tone of the whole thing.
Of course, there were plenty of us Northerners or Yankees or Westerners, you might say, who were also there.
And people came from far and wide.
The most impressive distance that anybody came were two brothers who flew all the way from Brazil to attend the conference.
But again, because of the geography, most of the people were southerners, but there were people from New York.
There were people from California, other states, and so forth.
It's hard to identify who is best or who is most noteworthy.
But several speakers sort of stood out.
One of the things that I emphasized in my talk, and this was emphasized by other people as well, and it's a point you and I have made before.
It's impressive how many bright, savvy, intelligent, capable younger people are coming along.
And it's especially gratifying, especially encouraging for those of us who are now older to see very capable people.
This is happening for really two reasons.
One of them is just the internet makes it possible.
And communications now make it internet social media, so forth, makes it possible to have access to other people and information much better than was the case when, of course, I was younger.
But the second reason is that everyone can see, whether you're right, left, Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, everyone can see that the path that the United States and the West is on is a bad one.
I mean, polls show a majority of Americans, a substantial majority of Americans, don't trust our institutions and they see the country on the wrong path.
This is very wide.
And so many, many people, especially people who think about how things are, how they got that way and where they should go, are increasingly coming around to realize that not only the path we've been on for a long time, but the principles and the guiding ideology of America and the West, which is on which these policies are based, is wrong.
And so there's a tremendous growth in a kind of dissident, but also reality-based outlook, which more and more younger people have.
And in my talk, I emphasize that this will grow.
It'll inevitably grow because as things break down, the system's only way of responding is to double down and blame all the problems on white people.
That's what they've been doing.
That's what they'll continue to do.
They don't have much choice.
They won't rethink or recalibrate their own views.
So they'll double down on saying, well, all the problems are due to this terrible white racism that's a big danger.
Well, that's just, it's absurd.
And it's increasingly absurd to more and more people.
But and so there's more and more younger people who get this, who understand this, and quite a few impressive younger people were at this conference over the weekend.
Among the speakers, I was a speaker, Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, Sam Dixon, who's been active for many years.
The three of us, of course, are older, but there were some younger people, younger speakers who are very impressive.
But anyway, that's a kind of overview of.
Can you mention who the other speakers were or was this sort of a private thing?
No, no.
Well, there was one mystery speaker, and he's supposed to remain a mystery speaker, so I won't talk about him, except that he's a surprisingly prominent person in public life.
But anyway, Brad Griffin, he runs something called the Occidental Dissent.
He's a very level-headed person, made many good points.
They're not particularly surprising, but he was just emphasizing how polls, what polls show in America, and detailing, I guess, in his very lucid, intelligent way, just how things are, how they're going, how things are going.
One of the very impressive speakers was Warren Baylog.
He's a younger man.
I've known him for quite a few years.
And he made a very interesting point.
His talk was to show that Donald Trump, his whole message, is really building on the outlook and the views that were presented over years by Pat Buchanan.
Donald Trump has just sort of ridden on this wave.
And he talked about the Reform Party convention of the year 2000.
As it happens, I was there, James Edwards was there, Warren Baylog was there.
I happened to be there too for odd reasons.
In the year 2000?
In the year 2000.
The Reform Party in the year 2000 had Pat Buchanan as its candidate for president.
It didn't work for a lot of reasons and so forth.
This is a party founded by Ross Perot some years earlier.
It was a dissident party.
It got a kind of chunk of support, but of course it wasn't really successful.
But the interesting thing is that in the year 2000, Donald Trump wanted to be the nominee of the Reform Party.
And for a time, he and Pat Buchanan were both trying to get the nomination of this Reform Party that had been founded by Ross Perot.
Now, the point of Baylog's talk was not to criticize Donald Trump so much.
It was to show, though, that the ideas and the point, many of the points that Pat Buchanan had been making in his columns, in his books, and when he ran for president, both as a Reform Party candidate and as a Republican candidate, have gotten more and more support and that Donald Trump has really jumped on this.
Even though, and this is another fascinating thing, Donald Trump was very critical of Pat Buchanan.
He called him names.
People don't remember very well, but Donald Trump, he was once a registered Democrat.
He's given as much money to Democrats as he has to Republicans over the years.
He doesn't really have a coherent worldview.
He's got a lot of just opinions.
And this came out during the talk by Alan Baylog.
I mean, Warren Bailaugh, excuse me.
He criticized Pat Buchanan because of the book that he had written, Churchill Hitler, and the Unnecessary War, that basically said one of the messages he believes is that America should have stayed out of World War II.
He thought that was terrible.
At the time he was trying to get the nomination, he thought a great vice presidential candidate would be Oprah Winfrey.
He said, oh, it'd be fantastic.
He's popular.
She's brilliant.
She's a wonderful woman.
At the time, Donald Trump was between marriages, and he, after that, he married this 29-year-old woman that he was involved with, another model, I think.
And that was before he married Melania, but that's sort of how Donald Trump is.
He criticized, oh, yeah, the Republican Party is just too crazy right, he said.
The Republican Party was too right-wing, he was saying at the time.
That's why I wanted to join the Reform Party.
And Pat Buchanan, he's a Hitler lover.
He's an anti-Semite.
He doesn't like blacks.
He doesn't like gays, he said at the time.
On abortion, at the time, now Donald Trump presents himself as a big opponent of abortion, or at least something of it's a little unclear what his position is, but the time he says, I'm totally for choice.
He's completely against any restrictions on abortion.
He wanted deep tax cuts, including a 14.25% tax on assets of anyone worth at least $10 million.
I mean, that's Donald Trump wants more tax breaks for rich people.
Okay.
He visited the Simon Wiesenthal Center so-called Museum of Tolerance and talked afterwards about how much we should be opposing bigotry and prejudice.
My point is that the Donald Trump of the year 2000 is pretty different than the Donald Trump of the year 2024.
It's hard to know.
But this is a point I made two, even years ago when he was first running in 2015, 2016, that he doesn't really have principles exactly.
He's got a lot of opinions.
But the point is, Warren Baylog's talk brought out really how Pat Buchanan was really far more principled, far more lucid, far more articulate in laying out a kind of worldview.
And at the time, Donald Trump thought that was no good.
Now Donald Trump repeatedly, constantly says things that are far more, how should I put it, controversial than Pat Buchanan ever did, because Pat Buchanan is able to express himself a lot better.
Nick Griffin was supposed to speak at the conference, but the U.S. government wouldn't allow him to come to the United States.
So he gave a presentation by video, and he's a very smart, articulate fellow.
He used to be a member of the British, of the European Parliament, and he was head of the British National Party.
He laid out, I think, with too much detail and specificity, just how things are all going to break down in America and Britain in the years ahead.
But anyway, it was a basically he sees, like everyone else, that like many others, that the system can't really go on like this.
It's got so much now, it's so top-heavy, so riven by contradictions, internal contradiction.
I spoke in my talk, I made a number of points.
One of them is that racial consciousness will grow in the years ahead because it's more and more white people are realizing that the country is now so non-white, so multicultural, so multi-racial, that it can never really return to the America that many people would like.
That they can't, and that identity is very important.
And that white Americans, they still want to sort of have an America that's for everyone, whereas blacks, Jews, other groups are very focused on their identity.
And white Americans are not.
And as long as white Americans try to be for everyone, they'll lose.
As I said, I've said it before.
Whereas white Americans are still playing checkers, Jews, Muslims, Blacks, and so forth are playing chess.
They're not even playing the same game.
And that's why white America is going to continue going in this direction.
It's one of the points I made.
And then also I was making the point that the system will double down on blaming all the trouble on white Americans.
And white Americans will be unable to be indifferent to this.
They can either accept this narrative, they can accept this messaging, in which case they'll just feel ashamed of themselves.
They'll feel guilty.
They'll be ashamed of their heritage.
They'll be ashamed of their identity and they'll be ashamed of themselves.
Or they can reject this message of the system, which is promoted in the mass media and movies and so forth, and decide to reject the whole system and what it's been saying for a long time.
That's very difficult because America's had a good run for a long time.
Americans are still living reasonably well.
Anyway, those are some of the points I made.
But I tried to emphasize above all that because of all of this, there will be more and more younger people who get it, who understand what's going on, who put the pieces together.
And this will mean inevitably that the force of events will make more and more people see the larger picture.
And that we have on our side, I'm putting this very broadly, on our side, we have reality, truth, history on our side, and our enemies don't.
Our adversaries are promoting policies based on an outlook and a worldview that's just not even grounded in reality.
It's grounded in a utopian, delusional idea of the way society ought to be.
And then James Edwards himself spoke.
Anyway, it's all a very great thing.
But like any conference, the high point was really talking with and networking with people who, in some cases, I had not met.
But in other cases, there are people I had met many years ago I hadn't met in per seen in person in a long time, and especially making connections and relations that will be good in the months and years ahead.
Well, you know, I have said so many times, by the way, folks, that's the weekly roundup with Mark Weber.
That is hosted by Frodie Midjord at the Guide to Culture website.
I've said before, if we lived in a country that rewarded merit instead of cowardice and conformity, Mark Weber would host his own Sunday morning public affairs show on one of the major networks.
But so thankful to have him.
Keith, there is something that has happened over the course of the last year or two.
The political cesspool is no longer a talk radio program.
It has evolved into becoming an institution and a beacon.
And I am so thankful for all the people that we have worked with, all the people that we continue to work with, the people who contributed to this program, the people who listened to this program.
There is something special going on here, and it is a collective.
It is about us.
And it will not happen again.
This is a very special thing we've got here.
Well, we're coming to a particular moment in history.
And I think that's something that we need to really focus on.
You know, Mark has been in the movement a long time.
I remember several years ago, he and I kind of butted heads on the Jewish issue.
But now, if you read his Institute for Historical Review, four out of five, or at least three out of five of the articles have to do with Jewish power and influence in one form or another, either with Zionism or with Israel or with American culture and politics.
And see, that's it's now becoming things are getting crystal clear for people what the problems are and what we have to do about it.
You know, fewer and fewer people have their head in the sand.
See, the problem with most people is that they're so wrapped up with trying to earn a living and provide for their families and themselves that they don't have a lot of time for this.
For example, think about your electrician or your mechanic or something like this.
How much time is he going to have to be able to go over things like this?
That's what our show does.
There are a lot of people like that that don't look at the internet, don't surf it, but they listen to our show.
And we are the pipeline to the truth for a lot of them.
And a lot of those people came up to us and thanked us at this convention.
We normalize a lot of things because it's normal things to say.
I mean, these are not radical things.
These are very normal things.
And we had very normal people there.
And normal families in the best sense of the word.
Absolutely.
And these people identify with us.
They may not identify with some professor, professorial type or whatnot, but they do identify with us.
And we get the information to them and keep them abreast of what's going on.
The best of the best.
Mark Weber is the best of the best.
These people who were here last weekend, the best of the best.
Speakers, attendees, the best of the best.
We thank you for 20 years, ladies and gentlemen, and we'll be right back.

He don't love me anymore, and I'll have to let him go.
You say you're gonna take him, oh, but I don't think you can.
Although you ain't woman had enough to take my man, I have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here.
It'll be over my dead body, soak it out while you can.
Although you ain't woman had enough to take my man.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, turning the corner to the final half hour of tonight's first broadcast since TPC's 20th anniversary celebration last week.
I know a lot of you who weren't there obviously were able to, you know, the vast majority of our listening audience, to say the least, listened to it rather than attended it.
But I think even if you were not there last week, you appreciated the program, which I listened to after I got back.
And I, you know, it was so hard to process it, as I said, but I listened to it and I was like, you know, that was a good, fun show.
I think it, you know, delivered the atmosphere to the listener.
And then tonight, being able to, so much having been said about it, so much having been written about it, being able to revisit it tonight, I thought it was time well spent.
We actually had a couple of guests that were scheduled for tonight.
Previously, we rescheduled them so we could just have one more week celebrating this sense of togetherness that was shared by Jack Ryan and so many others who were there last week, scoop all of the old salts.
The Bombardier was there.
People like Gene Andrews, people that didn't speak this time, people who were going to be there but were not there, like Virginia Aberdathy.
But we're talking about you ain't woman enough.
There were some women there who were women enough.
There were beautiful women there.
There were all sorts of women there.
And let me say this.
I need to do a shout out.
I had two great guys that drove up and back with me, Chris and Phil from Arkansas.
And let me tell you, they are, you know, I met Phil before.
I hadn't met Chris before, but they are just great conversationalists and great thinkers and whatnot.
And they are, you know, we have so many people like that that are listeners of our show.
And it's really, you know, just makes us feel great.
And to know that people like that admire our work.
And I want to extend that admiration back at them.
Definitely a long drive from Tennessee to Indiana.
And for y'all to have had a conversation the whole way there and back, it's fantastic.
So, but let's go now to Jack.
Jack, you ain't woman enough.
We had some women there who were women enough.
And let's give it to you.
And we know you're man enough.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
Jack Ryan showed up looking dapper and he was well dressed and part of the family.
And so that we turn it over to you, my friend.
I think it was our best get-together and the show.
We had a nice mix of youth and experience.
And I was, well, I was just very impressed with the beautiful wives and mothers.
And that's something I've looked for is to see a woman's beauty through the beauty of her children.
And there were some just great, real, classy ladies there with very well-behaved children.
And you married a great, great lady.
I'm just very impressed with how well-mannered your son was to say, yes, sir.
And other people just in the area that were civilized.
So this is something you take for granted that people are always going to be well-mannered, mannered and civilized.
But in so many of the places that I've been to, big city, northern places, or big city now in other parts of the country, Atlanta, Memphis, people have stopped being civilized.
And it's not just in crime or communism or rioting.
They're just basic, everyday good manners.
You see people swearing in front of women and children and women swearing.
When did that become acceptable?
But not at our party.
These women were just really classy ladies, and it was just a pleasure to be in a group of just very intelligent, nice, good people.
Well, there's no doubt about it, Jack.
And the fact that you came down from outside of Chicago, they're a couple hundred miles from Chicago, and that you were down there in Texas was, I appreciated it.
And I hope that it was worth your while.
I mean, talk about just from the perspective of somebody traveling to be in an event, the cost of everything these days just being so astronomical.
Was it worth your while to be amongst the famous people?
It was definitely worth my while.
But I would just say this: there's two sides of people: the people are getting older, and the people are not getting older.
The people are not getting older are dead.
So I was getting older, but I didn't realize how old I look compared to the crowd.
And when they have that description of the beard, that's a goatee, that comes from a goat.
And I had a goatee.
I look like an old goat.
So I've made some changes in my appearance since those photos were taken.
I think, well, there are some secrets.
Like, I looked older than Jared Taylor at that one.
We'll get you a bottle of hair dye and you can dye your beard.
Not that you know anything about that, Keith.
You don't know anything about that, dude.
No, I know.
You were actually comparing your ages, Jared, earlier.
Jared and I are the same age.
I did not know that.
I figured you had to be in the same ballpark, but everybody deserves it, not only for themselves, but for any cause they advocate for to look as good as they can.
So that will be a new year.
Good as they can.
Right.
Well, good as they can, but also realistically, you see a lot of trends.
Okay, it's just not right now that bad trends in music and style, but I've noticed some fashion things.
You see on TV these retired African-American sports stars that are commentators, the trend is to wear a suit with basketball shoes and things like that.
I'm like, that's ridiculous.
Who came up with that style?
But if you look at the styles from the 1970s, you had African Americans with huge afros and white guys with afros, and then they had purple and pink polyester pants and platform shoes.
So it's not like everything was perfect back in.
Well, in other words, do you agree with me that before the 70s, things were better, basically, and particularly the 50s and the 40s?
Well, I wasn't around for the I like to dye, you know, dyeing your hair is one thing, but don't dye it blue.
You know, that's what they're doing.
If you had to wreck with somebody like that.
But that seems to be the LGBT soccer players' code is to have blue parts of their hair.
That's why I was rooting against the American women's soccer team, which did very poorly.
The women that defeated the American soccer team were very attractive and very natural looking.
England, Germany, and Sweden, their teams look like you would think the country looked like in their best days, where our team looks like Ellen DeGenerate.
Our decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
Anthony Cooper, you know, we've done this 20-year retrospective, TPC retrospective, 20 years, some of our iconic interviews, one per month.
We had Anthony Kumia on a few years ago.
We replayed his interview.
A couple of months ago, we just saw on Twitter, he was talking about the bygone days.
He said, Germany's best years is 90 years behind it.
That's right, yeah.
But anyway, back to back to our women, back to our women, Jack, not their women, not the blue-haired, the obese, the transgender, but the feminine, motherly women of all ages.
Heterosexual women at our event last week.
Beautiful all, whatever their age.
You had fantastic women there.
And men, and men.
But I think you have to highlight the fact that this is a program.
This is A message that attracts families and attracts not just the middle-aged and elderly men who are going to do the fighting, we know that, but the others as well.
And they were all there, and it was a fantastic representation of what we do here in this audience at large.
I agree.
And then I was also looking, there's so many things that television has got, has messed up in our country.
One of them is just the homogenation of the nation where all kinds of local forms of culture and music and accents are going away.
But I could see that there were some nice southern accents, which I call out Courtney from Alabama.
Your wife has a beautiful Southern accent.
And I think Dr. Hill probably has the best southern accent.
Now, you have some, but I think you might be losing this.
Jack, you're onto something.
You know, pardon the interruption, my friend, but no, you're onto something.
And it wasn't something I wanted to lose.
I'm not trying to lose it.
I cringe at the fact that it is not as pronounced.
But I was no, if you go back 10 years ago, because we've been playing some of these shows in the aforementioned TPC retrospective series that we're doing monthly in this our 20th anniversary year, my accent on this program 10, 15 years ago, you wouldn't even think you were listening to the same person.
I don't know what happened, but we're going to have so many people from all over the world.
You've been interviewing.
Anyway, but no, still a southern accent to be sure, but give me a couple of drinks and I can sound like Nick.
I'm Southern, y'all.
We'll be right back 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.

Hey, little Cobra, don't you know you're gonna shut them down around the world, turn on the straight away.
I'm going off everything to go away.
It's Yankee Memorial Day weekend.
If you listen, it doesn't take away the valor, but if you were an American soldier and you fought for anything other than the Confederacy since the War of 1812, you fought for a false cause.
That's right.
That's right.
You know, it doesn't take away, I understand gallantry and patriotism.
You thought you were doing right, but it doesn't take away anything from those soldiers.
But anyway, we'd like to get out by the pool on Memorial Day weekend anyway, and so do that.
Folks, welcome back to the final segment of tonight's broadcast.
I want to give a quick shout out to a man who deserves to be mentioned.
So many people mentioned him at the event.
So many people came up to me and thanked me for him.
And I hope they thanked him for him.
But Sam Bushman, the man who keeps us on the air every week for all these years, 20 years.
We've been with him since 2009 here on Liberty News Radio.
Without Sam, forget about it.
Well, not only that, Sam has a great mind, and he is an activist for conservatives.
And he talked as well.
He gave a speech that is not to be overlooked.
He really, it was concise and it was right to the point.
And it's always great to have Sam there.
Like you said, Sam is not only the business mind behind us that keeps us going, he's also a great conservative thinker and activist as well.
Well, he absolutely is.
And he gave some remarks during the welcoming and introductory comments there on that Friday night last weekend before we went to our celebrity speaker.
But the whole thing, start to finish, Jack, I mean, again, just give us your full take on not just the women, not just the kids, not just that, but the whole thing from Friday night to Sunday evening, your take as an attendee, much less a member of the team here.
Have good organization, good speakers, people would get restless and bored.
If you ever go to religious, supposedly conservative groups in our country, they can get very boring and dull.
But this wasn't a problem just because there were very good speakers.
We had breaks.
There was socializing, networking.
And I hope that we do that and expand it.
And you just, I have to tip my hat to you, your organization.
I went off and slept sometimes more, and you were always up alert and getting together.
So I think it was the best conference of its kind that I've ever been to.
And just, I want to just compliment you on organizing it and pulling it off.
Let me say this, too.
There's so much focus on the speakers, but what really impressed me were the attendees at this thing.
The people that I spoke to from all over the place, I mean, they were absolutely first rate.
Any of them was smart enough to be giving a break bread and to share time with them, speak and whatnot.
And they're from all over the place.
We had a lady from Ukraine.
had guys from Sao Paulo in a gentleman, you know, a young couple.
The gentleman was, they're in their 20s.
The young man was from Russia, the young lady from Romania of Romanian ancestry, at least.
This is something.
And this is something that I haven't seen at other conventions.
I'll just be perfectly blunt.
I've been to others, but this was such a high-quality group of people.
I will say this.
I mean, we've even done our own conferences before over the years and plenty of them, but to have a newborn and from newborn to 80 and every stage in between of development and maturation is a testament to this listening audience.
So, Jack, back to you.
Right.
Well, they're good.
And you do have, again, you have a mix of youth and experience.
And then you have a mix of oldies and goodies, but also new ideas.
I often have critiques that too much of our people that were nostalgic, that were just looking in the past.
And some people are looking at the present and they're saying, my God, and they're looking that.
But the other parts, and it's a problem with too much of conservatives that they're always looking at the back, the path with rose-colored glasses.
So I'm with the ideas.
I think that we need to make a lot of nostalgia a thing of the past.
You like that little turn of phrase there, nostalgia, thing of the past.
Well, it is true.
If you push rewind on the video, it still ends the same way.
What's coming is going to have to be something different.
On the other hand, we don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
There were a lot of good things that we've lost that we'd like to recapture.
We are a movement.
We're not going to recapture it in the present demographic reality.
We are a movement that honors our past, our present, and our future.
We fight for our past, our present, and our future.
We revere the past.
We revere our ancestors.
We want to emulate them.
We want to do them proud.
But yes, I mean, you know, Nick Griffin mentioned that you're not going back to the 1950s as much as, you know, we waxed nostalgic upon that time.
It's just not going to happen because of the debate.
Right.
I wasn't born for the 50s.
No, I wasn't alive in the 50s.
I was eight years, seven years old when the 1968 Democratic convention was in Chicago.
Now, there's supposed to be another one coming up in August.
So people are expecting the anti-Gaza war are promising trouble.
This is the same thing as the anti-Vietnamese cause trouble in Chicago.
So I didn't really, I didn't have that.
But you could see the 50s in things like television that was a little bit older when there.
You could see the black and white TV shows of Father Knows Best, Leave It's Beaver.
And there was a very conscious idea that you were supposed to have, you weren't supposed to air your dirty laundry and your median people were supposed to be moral.
And if you look at the TV, there's absolutely no sex in American television up until probably about 1969 or 70.
You see these cowboy shows, Marshall Dylan, where Marshall Dylan's beating up and killing three or four people every episode, but there's no sex.
I mean, the only woman in the early shows is Miss Kitty, and she's outnumbered like about 50 to one by guys.
But she was a dancehall girl and owned all that.
So, you know, in real life, she probably would be offering some of her customers a little something else besides beer.
They don't call it Hollywood Babylon for nothing, Jay.
Okay.
No, but they do have that.
And then, well, there are some things that I think are a little bit better.
I thought that the Cold War was over and that this idea of trying to demonize European people for war, whether it was Germans or Italians or just the Russians.
I thought that was completely over with, particularly amongst conservatives.
Not among neoconservatives, Jewish neoconservatives.
The Cold War never ends.
Well, it never ends, but then the rest of these regular people that they're nostalgic for the Reagan era and when they are watching Rambo 3.
I mean, look at it.
Talk about a tobacco.
How about 40 years of American trillions to invade and occupy Afghanistan and trying to make gay pride month down there?
That didn't go over very well.
So there's a good list of good movies to watch.
You don't have to watch Rambo 3.
Sammy and the Bachelor and all sorts of things.
Okay, well, I got to handle it.
I had all sorts of great things.
Okay, do I have time for a recommendation of a minute, Jack?
It's all yours.
One minute to close.
Okay, I like Paper Moon with Ryan and Tatum O'Neal.
Tatum O'Neal is a darling as in that seven.
And I think it's a great movie.
The director is kind of a bad one.
But then there was this obscure movie I haven't seen of Huck Finn starring Elijah Wood.
He ended up to grow up to being proto in Lord of the Rings, but he did a version of Huck Finn.
It's from probably the 90s.
I thought it was fantastic, and it was very faithful to the Mark Twain book.
I thought it was fantastic.
Yep, good stuff.
I mean, of course, now he...
How old was Tatum O'Neal in that movie?
Well, he now, Elijah Wood.
Tatum O'Neal.
Go ahead, Jack.
Tatum O'Neal was probably about eight, seven or eight in Paper Moon, and she won a fast supporting actress.
Like all Hollywood stars that grow up, Hollywood is not kind to child actors.
I don't think that's for sure.
Well, you know, interestingly, Elijah Wood, who played never mind.
Yeah, he played Prodo.
I'm thinking of Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter and Emma Watson, who played Hermione, are now revolting against the person who gave them their entire careers, J.K. Rowling, for standing up against the absurdity of so-called transgenderism.
And they've just completely turned somebody like Mark Hamill, whose career was one movie.
And he's still trying to live off the corpse of it.
And then he forests under these woke LGBT feminist Star Wars.
He really hates that.
Those Kathleen Kennedy ones, punishment.
So, yeah, it's not a great world to be in a Hollywood world.
But, but.
We will rise again.
I love this quote.
America is a corpse being consumed by maggots.
Liberals are rooting for the maggots.
Conservatives are rooting for the corpse.
We're rooting for something better for a renewal that will come.
Thank you, Jack Ryan, Keith Alexander, and for the people who contributed in Abstentia tonight.
