You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, the setting couldn't be more appropriate for tonight's show.
We are in South Louisiana.
We are in an antebellum home with a ceiling made of ship beams from a ship that they just disassembled and turned into a home.
And it's almost as if the room is lit by candlelight, as if it would have been, as if it would have been in the 1850s when it was built.
And there's actually some slave quarters.
A Spanish mosque and a cypress tree.
I'm looking at it right now.
I only wish this was television, not radio tonight.
If you could see through my eyes, this beautiful Spanish mosque tree right outside the window of this veranda.
There's a slave quarters in the back.
The slaves had the weekend off.
They put me in there this weekend.
I shouldn't have said that.
Now we're in trouble.
That's an antebellum home.
But it is just a beautiful.
Don't worry, folks.
Don't worry.
Those liberals that are listening to this program.
There's no slaves in the back of it.
We're the slaves now.
Well, we are the slaves.
We work very, very hard in this country.
We pay most of the taxes, and we can't even use the public schools to pay the taxes.
And we've got a government that we finance that's actively working to destroy, literally, wipe our own people out, not only in America, but every European nation around the world.
Now, when I say these things, I want people to understand this.
This doesn't mean I want to suppress anybody else.
I don't believe America should have 800 bases all over the world.
I don't believe America should be trying to destroy and control the whole world.
I believe in freedom for the American people.
I believe that every people in the world want to control their own things.
And I'll say one last thing before I know you're first quarter.
I know you're going to ask me some questions about the campaign.
You know, I'm anxious.
But I do want to say one last thing that here's an understanding I came to in my life.
When I learned that white people were facing an existential problem, an existential crisis of our very survival and the existence in this world, I obviously said, I'm not going to stand by and let this happen.
I'm going to try to politically change things and stop this immigration and also stop to take over our culture, which was leading the way for this destruction of our people.
But you know what?
As you evolve and as you get older in your life, I realized something pretty profound.
And what I realized was that as I wanted to preserve my people, my heritage, the interests of my people, traditions of my people, culture of my people, religion of my people, faith of my people, as I wanted to do that, every other people have the same desire.
And if you understand that, it gives you a good standing point.
You're going to be consistent.
You're not going to be some sort of hypocrite.
So that's the important thing, really, that I believe in preserving my people, and our people are being wiped out, and that there's a massive globalist.
We want to survive and have our history and the heroes and language and faith and all of the other things that make us unique.
Like anybody else, and they all should have it.
Where you have difficulty is when you force them all to have competing interests in the same living space.
Well, exactly right.
And also it causes conflict that causes conflict.
That's right.
Now, you look, Iranians want to preserve Iran and the Persian people.
You know, the Turks want to preserve Turkey.
You know, the Italians, even in Europe, want to preserve Italian heritage.
They should.
Scandinavians like to do that.
The British like to do.
The Irish definitely.
You know, we can all be cousins, but there's a difference between an Italian, a Roman, and a Viking.
But we're all one people, but we all need to maintain our own people.
We're all part of the European complex of what we call white people today, and thank God we are.
And we can't kill each other anymore.
We should not kill each other.
No more brothers.
No more of these wars.
These were wars that were created by the Jewish elite, the same Jewish elite that gave us these wars was for their advantage.
They did the First World War to destroy Russia because they knew Germany, which was very militaristic and very powerful, would defeat the Tsar.
If they defeated the Tsar, then that would pave the way for the Bolshevik Revolution.
In the Second World War, obviously, they were the enemy of Germany, and they wanted to destroy Germany.
Or Mos Parish was the big book published in America supported by the New York Times, saying a great plan.
The book said total eradication of all the German people.
So this is, again, the issue, and this animated me from the very beginning.
Now, I did.
That's what we're going to get back to.
Yeah.
The very beginning.
Well, not necessarily at the very beginning, but at least the very beginning of your political.
I guess the best we could talk about at the beginning was I realized that our people were becoming minority countries.
All right, so this is what I want to do.
Yeah.
This hour.
I want to talk about your campaign for the state legislature, your campaign for United States Senator, your campaign for governor of Louisiana.
So going back to the very, now this isn't the very beginning of your activism, but the very beginning of your electoral career.
Your election to the Louisiana state legislature in 1988 called 1989, actually.
89.
Was that when you were seated?
No, 89 was when.
89 was, okay.
Caused a political earthquake that generated shockwaves for years.
What were the issues that you ran on, and how were you able to actually win that seat despite constant demonization by the press?
Well, they actually, they had a number of meetings, and they had six people, it became an open seat.
The gentleman who served in the House took a judgeship, was given a judge, appointed to a judgeship.
And so this open seat took place, and so it was a very well-contested seat.
They had six major people contested who were already sitting on school boards and sitting on the council and so forth.
Yes, I got to get the mic close to the.
When you look at our friends here in the assembly, you get off mic and it just goes to no audio.
Anyway, I got it.
So anyway, so and they were well, all of them outspently.
They had the governor's brother running for the seat who had the insider Republican money.
And it was the wealthiest district in Louisiana, actually.
And the most educated district in Louisiana.
So it breaks all the icons that they try to say that it's just a bunch of people.
Hillbillies, hillbillies.
There were a lot of good hillbillies.
And yes, I got more votes probably from the fishermen and from the working men than from the rich people.
But we carried a good district.
It wasn't a bunch of rich billionaires, but it was a lot of very well-accomplished, educated people in a very educated district.
And that's kind of interesting.
But anyway, so when I ran, I got up.
This got global attention.
I mean, you wouldn't think that a state house seat in a Southern City.
Well, it got a lot of attention for a couple of reasons.
One is because, you know, 15 years, 20 years earlier, I was in the KKK, even though I was a nonviolent Klansman.
We're probably going to get in that later in terms of the history.
But I was in a nonviolent Klan group.
A single member of my group was ever charged with any sort of crime or violence against anybody.
It's despite the movie Black KKK Klansman.
Yeah, movie.
Topher Grace played you in this Academy Award-winning movie that came out just a couple of years ago.
And it was all totally a lie.
Let's not get into that.
It's the same story.
Two Jewish script writers, Rabinowitz.
Rabinowitz and Racktel.
All right.
We'll get into that.
But there was no bomb, no murder, no nothing.
Listen, we love romanticizing great efforts.
We're both proud sons of the South.
We're both proud of our Confederate ancestry.
We honor them for fighting a good fight, even though it fell short.
You actually broke through.
So rare does that happen.
You did it.
So you were elected.
Because of that background.
And one thing it did was it just gave me a forum, in a sense, because it was controversial and some coverage.
And I would go to these meetings and I'd stand up and say, listen, we're facing an existential crisis in this country.
We're becoming outnumbered and outvoted in our own country.
And we're seeing every principle of our country being eroded.
Our free speech.
We're seeing our schools turned into propaganda entities that are trying to teach our children to hate themselves.
We're seeing destruction of our families.
We're seeing these insane wars all over the world.
And also, we're seeing a welfare system that's not really making life better for black people or poor white people.
It's actually destroying the family because of the structure of this so-called war on poverty, which is increasing poverty.
So when I started talking about these, and I also talked about the massive racial discrimination of affirmative action.
And I was called a racist for that, by the way.
Of course.
So the Times-Pookie Union, which is our Jewish newspaper in New Orleans, they did an article and they wrote about what I was writing about, saying that white people are facing racist, all these things, which nobody else was talking about.
Backfired, apparently.
Not even the Republican Party.
Yeah.
And they thought everybody thought like they did.
What did it feel like to win?
I mean, what did it feel like on election night when you knew that you were going to be, you would have your seat in the Louisiana state legislature, the General Assembly?
What was that like to know in that moment you had won that race?
It was an affirmation to me that I was on the right track.
And I was, you know, that I believed that the people of our country will respond to the truth if we tell it.
We just have to tell it.
We have got to be able to be courageous enough to tell it.
And if we do that, and we do it well, we do it intelligently and with humanity, too.
And I think I always did it with a sense of love for people and a sense of justice for people, all people.
If you do it that way, you can change the world.
And that is exactly what you tried to do.
You didn't let the mosque grow on that seat in the state house.
You went immediately for the United States Senate.
We're going to talk about that when we come.
I passed the only bill in America against affirmative action.
We'll talk about that.
Okay, we'll talk about that first.
Then we'll get into your campaign for Senate and then Governor.
90 and 91, you're at the center in the great public.
We'll be back.
God tells us in Hebrews 10, 25 that we should gather together to worship him.
This isn't a request.
It is a command.
Going to church isn't an option.
It is your Christian duty.
With the hellish apostasy of mainstream churches, attending church these days can be difficult.
That is why you're King James Only, traditional services in the ancient Church of St. Mary Magdalene alive, online.
And I invite you to gather with our congregation to study God's Holy Word.
Join us every Sunday at thetemplarchurch.com and especially on the first Sunday of the month for Holy Communion.
This do in remembrance of me is also a command that all Christians must obey.

A battle between forces that would enslave this country in darkness and between a media that wants to present you with the truth.

TheEpicTimes.com Well, welcome back, everybody.
James Edwards, David Duke, live from New Orleans tonight, this last weekend of June.
And it is hot and humid like you wouldn't even believe.
There's prehistoric grasshoppers down here that I didn't even know existed, like as big as your head.
But we're having a great time tonight.
It's not hot in this room.
It's cold.
No, it's fine here.
But it's hot talking.
But if you go outside, I should say we're getting a lot of emails, a lot of text.
We can't read them all, but my own dad just, he never misses a show.
He listens to the show more than I do.
And he says he's really enjoying tonight's interview.
And I got to give my dad a lot of credit.
He steered me in the right way.
He raised me right in church.
He raised me as a conservative, as someone in a conservative family, someone who would be proud of their heritage.
And he was the one who in 1992 said he was voting for Pat Buchanan.
And then that changed my life years down the road.
And it was interesting how short a leap it was from Buchanan to Duke and to everything else we've done.
But let's go back.
I want to talk now about your campaign for the United States Senate in 1990, just a year after you won your state House seat.
But first, you actually were responsible for passing a piece of legislation in the House that was pretty profound.
Well, here am I just elected in the previous few months.
And the first thing that happened, because I was so popular, this was a race heard around the state and around the world, actually.
It was all over the world.
In fact, after I was elected, it kind of spurred on the right wing in Austria.
And Georg Heider was erected, the Freedom Party in Italy.
They called him the David Duke of Austria, by the way.
Met him later.
But the interesting thing was that just a few months after.
Because it was just, it was like a Rocky story, right?
I mean, everybody in the outgone world basically came out against me.
I mean, the Pope came out against me.
I mean, the Catholic Archbishop locally.
And the Pope in a 70% Catholic district.
And I've always been pro-Catholic, by the way.
But, you know, they came out against me.
The President of the United States came out against me in the House race, right?
And I was outspent by massive amounts of money.
And everybody just saw it as like a Rocky story.
And so, but I came out there and I came out running.
I think I accomplished a lot more in just my short period in that house than Trump did as president in terms of my district.
Because let me give you an example.
So, the first thing out the box was they were trying to make a constitutional amendment to get rid of our homestead exemption so they could soak the people of Louisiana, and everybody was wanting to do that.
Now, listen to this: the sheriff of Jefferson Parish, the most popular sheriff of Louisiana, was a Chinese guy, actually, of descent.
And his name was Harry Lee.
And he was famous.
They called him a racist because he wanted to put blockades where the border between New Orleans and Metairie.
My district was in Meta.
And so he came out, and then there was Lawrence Gihardi, who was the top assessor in the state.
And he wanted to preserve the homestead exemption, which was the last tax threshold or the protection for the average homeowner that you don't lose your home when you get older because of taxes.
So they actually came together to show you my popularity at that time.
They came together, Sheriff Harry Lee, Lawrence Gihardi, and me, we combined together as this trioca to oppose to oppose the homestead exemption, you know, the getting rid of the homestead exemption, which was going to be a constitutional amendment.
So I got out there and campaigned, and when I went across the state, I got huge crowds.
The governor, who was selling out the people of the state, typical Republican sellouts, he was for this amendment.
He'd go to the universities and speak and get like 200 people.
I'd go to the universities and get three.
I got to say this.
I mean, we're in the current year now, as they want to say.
It's 2024.
Been a long time since 1990, 91.
But yes, you go and you look at some of these Duke rallies, and it's just throngs of people.
It looks like what a Trump rally would have looked like in 2016.
So that was the first thing I did.
And guess what?
We beat the amendment overwhelmingly because of this coalition and because of what my work.
They wanted me to be the point man because I was so popular in the state because people just, it's not because, you know, I'm not some great person.
I'm a normal person like anybody else.
But I was willing to tell the truth.
And the media gave you that.
Well, they continued to attack me.
They weren't calling me a Klansman every day because at that point I was Representative David Duke.
They called me Klansman more today than they did then.
So back then they actually called you Representative.
And it was 50 years ago.
Now then, so I did that.
And then also, I actually proposed a bill that forbid any affirmative action program that discriminated against better qualified people on the basis of their race for any state-funded or federally funded program in Louisiana.
You got that passed the House.
It passed the House overwhelmingly.
Like 70% of the people.
So you spearheaded that.
You were the one who brought it to the court.
I brought it to court.
It was my bill.
And it was the only bill passed in any legislative body in the United States of America.
So then the very next year, we decided to go ahead and go for the...
All right, that's my next question, actually.
So you had just been elected.
You had just occupied your seat in the state house.
And you were determined to capitalize on your popularity in 1990 by mounting a very ambitious bid to become a United States senator.
I mean, you would be one of the 50 most powerful people in the world, and you nearly won.
You received 607,391.
If you came within 2%, if the 2% switch of votes, like 4% different than the race, 2% switch of votes, I would have gone to the U.S. Senate.
So what led to that level of success against all odds?
600%.
It wasn't money.
The coalition, the United States.
The United States Senator, you'd have been one of the most 50 powerful people.
Jews flooded in money from all over the United States to defeat me because they knew that I was going to stand up against Jewish power, the Jewish elite that was dominating America.
Like David Brooks said years ago in the 19th century.
But it just goes to show that if that many people, I mean, which is the vast majority of the white votes, 607,000 votes in Louisiana, 44% overall, in an open and fair election, you would have obviously won, but it just goes to show that even against all of those obstacles, you were still that popular.
That this was an idea and a message that resonated even with the way they were trying to portray you.
Well, here's the thing, my good friend, James.
You know, it's the corruption, political corruption in this country is so deep and so horrific, really.
And I'll give you an example here.
So the Republican official nominee, which had the money behind them for the official nominee of the Republican Party, was a senator by the name of Baggart, Ben Baggart.
But he was getting troused by me.
We had open primary systems, so Republicans and Democrats can run in the same primary.
And so they became desperate because I was getting all the Republican votes, and I was getting a hell of a lot of Democratic votes.
So they knew that if they didn't do something, getting distracted here, if they didn't do something from other people here, we had a lot of people here.
So they knew that if things happened the way they were going to happen, he would get a number of Republican bigwigs and other Republicans who are also going to vote for the nominee, so to speak.
And it would be a runoff.
And when an incumbent senator, Ben Johnson, 24-year incumbent senator, when you don't get win in the first primary, you're doomed because then the entire emphasis, the entire momentum switches to your camp, right?
And so they figured out a dirty, dirty, dirty trick.
And it so happened, many states like this are in the South, where the first, the voting day was the same day, and I think maybe they did this on purpose in a lot of places, the same day it was the opening of hunting season.
So in hunting season, people cast absentee ballots.
Now, most of those absentee ballots were certainly, especially Republicans, the Republicans vote more absentee than Democrats usually, what's more trouble, and people that have a little more wherewithal can do that.
So they went and voted absentee.
It was hundreds of thousands of votes, absentee votes, right?
So you know what they did?
They knew if they canceled out my votes, and they canceled out also the votes for, you know, even for Ben Baggard, that there's no way I was going to get into the runoff because some of the Republicans are going to say, oh, I'll vote for Baggart this time, the Republican nominee.
But they would have voted me in the runoff, obviously, right?
So you know what they did?
Do you know the story?
I don't know if I know this one.
I know one of the ones that I've been doing.
This is a fact.
They had Ben Baggart.
They bribed him for whatever, promising him different positions, but he knew he was not going to win anyway.
He dropped out of the race just a few days before the election.
Otherwise, you're a United States Senator.
Otherwise, you're not going to be a United States Senator because what would have happened then?
There's no way, there's only 2% difference anyway.
Yeah, 2% less for the other candidate.
And even more because most of the absentee votes and those kind of things, a lot of them are Republicans, not other Democrats, who still might vote for a Republican candidate or other people.
And so that keep me from going into a runoff.
Now, if I got a runoff, I would have had more votes, more votes than Johnson for sure, if not winning.
But if I didn't get more votes than Johnson in the runoff, I'd have won.
But every one of those absentee votes that people cast were now null and void.
They lost their vote.
They didn't say, okay, this candidate's out of it.
So you have a right to cast a vote on Election Day, which they should have done.
Anybody, they could just say, okay, you got to vote on Election Day or do it.
Right, because the absentee ballot that voted for the guy who dropped out would have, yeah, that.
And when that, by the way, when he dropped out of the race, the Bennett Johnston campaign caravan, which was going around the state, they stopped the caravan at a big giant party because they knew then that they would probably win and they just barely won.
That's the story.
And even with all of that, they still barely beat you.
Now, I believe this.
Yes, they barely beat it.
And break the music playing.
Yeah, okay.
We're going to take a quick.
I believe I would have gone to the Senate and the presidency if not for.
We're going to pick it up right there.
And with that, when we come back, stay tuned, everybody.

Iran may be needing to schedule a runoff presidential election.
Speaking to reporters, Iran's election ministry spokesperson Mohsen Islami said, none of the candidates managed to win an absolute majority.
So the first and second candidates with the highest number of votes will be announced to the Guardian Council.
He said of 24.5 million votes cast, Pazashkian got 10.4 million, while Jalili received 9.4 million.
More than half of voters cast no ballot in the race that saw Pazashkian and Jalili compete alongside two other hardliners.
The runoff will be held on July 5th.

The show me state not giving up on its two-pro sports teams.
Missouri Governor Mike Parsons says he expects the state to put together an aid plan by the end of the year to try to keep a Kansas City Chiefs and royals in Missouri.
Parsons said Missouri's plan likely would require legislative approval, but he doesn't anticipate calling lawmakers into a special session before his term ends in January.
Missouri is seeking to counter Kansas, which approved a plan last week to try to lure the teams across the state line with bonds that would finance up to 70% of the cost of new stadiums.

You know, the thing about it is there's a stately wooden piano right here in this antebellum home that we're in tonight, and all of this music's coming live from the room.
That's what people don't get.
So, David, I want to ask you something very quickly.
Well, let me talk about it.
Well, this is about your campaign for United States Senator.
And I just want to remind people: we're not talking about he came close to winning a primary.
This was the general election.
He came within a couple of points of being a United States Senator, even with all of the backhanded tricks.
And you're right there.
Media against us.
100% of all the leading political figures, the president of the United States, 100 to 1 money, all the media.
The Leader Party of the United States.
Tell them not to vote for the Republican candidate.
Vote for the liberal Democratic candidate sit in.
If you had won, as bad a voting record as Teddy Kennedy, you were just a couple of points away from winning.
This wasn't like, oh, he did well, you know, 80-20 lost, but at least he fought.
No, you were right there on the cusp becoming a United States Senator.
Again, one of the 50 most powerful people in the world.
Had you won?
Had you won?
What happens?
Well, let me finish the election, then I'll tell you.
All right, go ahead.
Okay, so a good friend of mine here, great pal.
You got to stay on.
I'll call him Daniel Boone.
He's such a frontiersman.
And he's a good guy.
Anyway, so.
Hold on, wait, you're way off that.
You got to stay right here.
Get out of here.
There you go.
So he sent me, he looked it up on Wikipedia.
Ben Backer was his name.
And he talks, this is what they say about Ben Backer.
He was the candidate who was the official Republican nominee from the insiders of the Republican Party, right?
To try to stop me, right?
So anyway, so they realized that he was not going to win.
So they knew because a lot of Republicans necessarily wouldn't vote for me, but they'd certainly vote for me against a liberal Democrat like Bennett Johnston.
So they knew if I got into the runoff that Bennett Johnston was gone and I was going to the U.S. Senate.
Now, this is what the Wikipedia says.
Listen to this.
It says he was a Republican.
This is the first paragraph of his bio.
So his claim to fame is.
So this isn't your Wikipedia entry.
This is his.
This is his Wikipedia entry, right?
And he says he was a Republican candidate in the 1990 United States Senate election in Louisiana.
He withdrew from the race to prevent David Duke from reaching a runoff election.
I mean, it's right there.
It's right there in black and white, right?
So why would someone, or how could someone, withdraw from an election to prevent election interference?
We keep hearing about election interference.
We'll talk about election interference.
But what he did was, by dropping out, he canceled hundreds of thousands of absentee votes.
That had voted for him.
Which for me.
That would have gone most likely for you.
And they would put you over the top.
Well, exactly.
Exactly.
So that's that.
So, and so, and the second part of your question.
Well, let's just say alternative timeline.
I would have won if I got 2% more.
And of course, if I wasn't outspent by 101, if I wasn't opposed by everybody, I was waiting, like my old saying during that race was: everybody in the world, the president, the vice president, the governor, the senators, everybody said they can't vote for David Duke.
And I said, I was waiting for the Altolla to come up.
He was the only one in the world not coming out of the city.
You go into the Senate.
All right.
So if I'd have gone to the Senate.
You're in there with Joe Biden at that time.
What happens?
I would have been in there with Byrd, too.
So they couldn't say much about my plan passed, could they?
Anyway, so Robert Byrd.
So here's the situation.
If I'd have won that election, it would have been the biggest thing in the world, right?
And I was already very popular already, but that would have made me even more popular.
And as senator, there's no question that I could have been in the debates for the election that was going to be held for president, in which Bill Clinton ended up running up against the Republican candidate.
You said you would have instantly gone.
One year from state rep to senator, and then you'd have gone straight for the presidency in 92.
Gone through the debates.
And there's no question they couldn't have kept me out of the debates as a U.S. Senator, right?
You would have run for president in 92 is what you're saying.
Is that what you're saying?
92.
Yeah, I run for president in 1992.
Absolutely.
Wow.
How about ambition, ladies and gentlemen?
1989 state rep, 1990, United States fairy.
1992 U.S. president.
Some cycle fairy tales.
And you know what?
I would.
There's no question.
If I got elected to the Senate, I would have been the most outstanding senator in the country.
You had two years there from 1990 to 1992.
1991.
Yeah, you'd have been seated in 91.
About a year.
But that's enough, you know, because people were ready for it.
I was Trump before Trump.
But I was a better Trump before Trump.
How much of your basic platform, the, you know, analysis of the Jewish issues, notwithstanding.
How much of your issues did Trump win on in 2016?
He basically, Trump even said when I was talked about, I ran anyway in some of the primaries in 1992 for president.
But even without getting into the debates, which you've got to do to have any chance of winning, I got more votes, for instance, in South Carolina than Ben Carson got with $35 million he spent.
And he was in the debates.
I got as many votes as Joe, as President Bush's brother, Jeb Bush, right?
So if I got into this debate.
That's with the population not being nearly as big in 1990.
I would have definitely got the nomination.
And there's no way being who I was and what I was standing for, I'd have beat the pants off of Bill Clinton.
Well, Clinton would not have, you know, obviously.
Now, Clinton was popular in 96 compared to the resurrected cadaver Bob Dole.
He was charismatic.
He was too, he was.
But in 92, the only reason he won was because of Ross Perot.
I mean, you know, George H.W. Bush would have been.
But they wouldn't have voted for Ross Perot if I'd have been on the right.
Exactly.
That's what I'm talking about.
So Bill Clinton would have never been elected.
He would have gone to the presidency in 92.
The country was, demographically, it wasn't like it is today.
You'd be running against an incumbent president.
Well.
In 92, Bush was the incumbent.
Right.
But yeah, you can do this.
I thought Bill Clinton was elected in 92.
Did I get that mistake?
Right.
No, no, he.
Bill Clinton was elected in 92, but you would have run in the Republican primary against George W. H.W. Bush and an incumbent president, which is rare.
Well, that's right.
But you would have been a United States Senator, so that's a game changer.
Absolutely a game changer.
So I think we'd have gone to the presidency then overwhelmingly.
Bush wasn't that popular anyway, obviously.
And if we'd have done that, and that was all the talk about program, okay.
He stood up for not free trade, but fair trade, right?
Like I did.
And by the way, Trump himself said, he talked about my race.
He said, that David Duke's going to get a lot of votes.
He said, that David Duke is a presidential candidate.
Well, you know, he demured when they encouraged him to denounce you in 2016.
He did.
And you know what?
That helped ensure his election.
I believe that.
And that's not me saying that.
Of course, a lot of people said, oh, yeah, David Duke endorsed him.
That hurt him.
No, it didn't hurt him.
Forbes magazine.
Forbes is one of the most elite political prognostic organizations in the country.
They listed 10 turning points, pivotal points, in Trump winning, ultimately winning the presidency.
And that was my early-on endorsement of Donald Trump.
Because they said when David Duke endorsed him, this kind of New York-sounding, brassy New Yorker Yankee, right?
When David Duke said, I'm going to go for Trump, right?
That gave him a pass for the Southerners and for many other people in the country to support him.
But anyway, that was, of course, many years later.
But back then, the demographics were such, the political sentiment was such.
Look at just the attitudes about everything, whether it be forced busing and all the other stuff that was going on, the affirmative action, which was bigger than the news.
We can talk about the affirmative action issue, too.
That's part of my history, too.
I actually was pivotal, and I had a pivotal point, not bragging, just telling the truth, in the past, getting past the 209 proposition in California, the Constitutional Amendment that passed because of a giant debate with Hicks, which was publicized all over the state.
And even the newscasters of Los Angeles admitted that the debate or the proposition was teetering and might not have passed.
And then we had the debate with Joe Hicks, which has televised the whole state, the whole country, in fact.
And immediately, the proposition gained 10%.
Increased voters' support for 10%.
So, you know, this is some of the impact we made.
And I'm very proud of these facts.
Now, again, they've been working on me for many, many years to do everything they can to discredit me and hate me and suppress me.
But it's okay because my issues and ideas are now going to the whole world.
This goes to show how close you were against all those odds to becoming a United States Senator.
It just goes to show that even in spite of all of that, you never sold out.
You didn't quite get there.
But now the ideas are becoming popularized by even people like Candace Owen.
So at the end of the day, you still won in a metapolitical way.
Yeah, my books have been read by hundreds of millions of people.
Yeah.
That's a fact.
And that's an accomplishment, I think.
Anyway, we've got to take the break for the hour.
Quick break.
We're going to talk about his campaign for, you've heard about his campaign for the state legislature in 89, his campaign for the United States Senate in 1990.
How about that campaign for governor of Louisiana in 1991?
We're going to go to the long term.
We're going to get back to you.
This is something you get to really like.

Welcome back, everybody.
This is an interesting comment that just came in, and I want to share this with David.
I mean, so many emails and messages coming in tonight, and we can't get to them all.
We got so much to cover that we're never going to get to.
I think we're two questions in to 10 questions I wanted to cover this hour.
We got 10 minutes remaining, so that's not going to happen.
I know, I know, I told you.
But anyway, this just comes in from an attorney in Washington, D.C.
And he writes this, James, the first time I heard David Duke was on Phil Donahue's show in August 1978.
I had just come from Puerto Rico to attend a school in Kentucky.
Never had the privilege of meeting him.
He is a brave man.
That comes from an attorney in Washington, D.C., who's a good friend of ours.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
Let me ask you this, David, and thank you for the comment, my friend.
Let me ask you this.
Yeah, falling just short of becoming United States Senator, you immediately pivoted and ran for governor of Louisiana in 91.
Now, the Republican Party repudiated you.
The then-setting President George H.W. Bush told Republicans to vote for the Democrat, yet you still managed to become the party's nominee, and you received even more votes from the Senate race.
You received 607,000.
In the governor's race, you received 671,000.
So you received even more votes than you did in the previous race that attracted worldwide attention.
What do you most remember about running for governor?
Well, I remember how these compared to the senatorial race.
A lot of people think that Jews are so much smarter than other people.
They're not smarter.
They're just more organized.
They're just more determined and fighting for their particular people over all others, while we are not doing that.
And one of the interesting things that's really important to remember in this particular race, which is really shocking, they entirely blackmailed the entire state of Louisiana.
And they spent literally 100 times more dollars to defeat me.
They also called in all their influence in politics.
They made everybody come out and denounce me.
And you told me that they sent people into a blue-collar factory saying if Duke wins, your job's out of here.
They did worse than that.
Let me tell you some of the dirty tricks in that election.
Really important that you understand these folks.
And you can see the kind of thing they do.
And people should be ready for this, all right?
They couldn't really beat me on the issues.
In fact, there is a major book, an academic book that was written about this talking about how they beat me.
You know how they beat me?
By economically blackmailing the people of Louisiana.
And by saying to the people of Louisiana, if you elect David Duke, we're going to destroy your economy.
You're going to lose your business.
And even if you're a working man in a factory or like along the river, we have the most industrialized corridor in the world.
It's even more industrialized than the Rural Valley in Germany, right?
It's very big between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and the Mississippi mouth of the Mississippi.
Oh, yeah, this is a shipping lane on the Mississippi River, right?
And they literally, the Jews, I say the Jews because I'm talking about Jewish powers, not all Jews, but Jewish organizations are very organized.
They have, in fact, that whole Jewish coalition that presented this money in this organized force.
And he doesn't mean all Jews because I saw the picture of you, Brother Nathaniel.
I know you like to go to your delicatessen.
But anyway, so they went and they went to all these factories.
Now, the factories were not going to pick up their factories and move them to South America if they were, especially if they had good taxes and our taxes were good, and I was certainly not going to raise their taxes.
The factories, we need those employees.
We need these people's jobs and everything.
But what they did was they put in literally hundreds of thousands of lockers all along the Mississippi River.
They put a notice in the workers' lockers along with announcements that if David Duke told me this before.
If David Duke, and then we got a copy, we've got copies of the announcements, that if you, if they're selected governor, we're moving our factory to Mexico.
So what's that guy got to do that needs that job?
He's not going to vote.
This person's going to be very much afraid.
That's not election interference.
And they also did this like in New Orleans.
I'll give you another example.
This is where Jewish media and Jewish money combines to control things.
These Jews are 2% of the population in the United States of America, and these billionaire Jews, and they're literally able to completely corrupt the politics and the democracy that we live in.
We don't have a democracy.
It's just like my orchestra that should have been indicted and tried by the U.S. Senate according to the Constitution, but he didn't even get a trial.
So all of that stuff that went on in the senatorial campaign, and it was then they were going to locker to locker and putting in.
Well, let me give you the creme to the creme of this, right?
And this is also admitted in that book I told you about, you know, David Duke and How We Beat David Duke.
They had a whole bunch of essays.
And this particular book points out, and this is a truth now.
So the New Orleans Times Book Union was a Jewish-owned newspaper.
Totally Jewish.
It's owned by the Newhouse family.
We affectionately called them the Jew House family.
And the Newhouse family.
I saw that one coming.
Listen to this one now.
So the American Medical Association, and I never had any run-ins with the American Medical Association, although I think I don't like the way the establishment medicine is being run today, but it was never an issue.
There was never any votes against the whatever.
They had a Jewish head of the American Medical Association.
They seem to worm their way into everything, don't they?
They had a Jewish head, and they put out, they sent a letter, and the letter said, and by the way, they were planning a convention in New Orleans.
Now, New Orleans exists on tourism.
It exists on these conventions and the traffic and that.
So restaurants exist on it.
Cab companies exist on it.
All kinds of industries are absolutely dependent upon this tourism.
So they put out a letter and they said, and they, by the way, the Times-Booking Union took the letter, put it in color, and this is a paper that was almost always black and white, but they actually put color highlighting in this letter saying that if David Duke is elected governor, they were going to cancel their conviction of 120,000 rich doctors to come to New Orleans.
Well, you see that even now.
If southern states don't do this or that, the NCAA tournament won't come.
That's even bigger.
Yeah, right, sure.
$120,000.
But so they actually threatened to do this.
It was all a lie, I think.
But the point is, they use that, and then they broadcast everywhere.
You're going to lose your job.
I mean, again, and let's just go back to this.
I could prove this.
The Republican president saying, don't vote for the Republicans.
Well, let me give you an example.
They did a poll of the United Cab Company, which was an all-white cab company, right?
But these are people working 10, 12, 15 hours a day for their family, driving their cab, and they depend on these tourists to come.
It's very big for something like this to be canceled.
And they did a poll before this came out.
They did this economic blackmail scheme.
And they asked him, who are you going to vote for?
And it was literally almost 100%.
It was like, I don't think there was one cab driver that actually said he was going to vote against me.
I mean, it was pretty amazing.
All right, after this threat, we went from 100% down to like 78% or something like that, 78%.
I mean, and that's because they said, how am I going to feed my family?
I want David Dick to be governor, but I've got to feed my family.
So this is the kind of policies.
Now, that should have been a crime.
That was extorting the people of the United States, threatening people to destroy their income unless they voted the way that they wanted them to vote.
That's not election interference, though.
That's not election interference.
That's absolute fraud, extortion, threats.
I mean, yes, criminal threats.
threatens a man's livelihood if he votes for the candidate of his choice.
His family, his work.
Those blue-collar working class Louisianans are going to be for you.
What?
How many to one?
Four to one, two to one, four to one, ten to one?
Working class, blue-collar.
There's a lot of blue-collar people in Louisiana.
And that was what the Jews have always feared: the coalition between working-class people.
Populism.
And at the same time, college-educated people, professional people.
People that were, you know, that needed to be heard.
But anyway, and also there was a lot of anti-war people that were formerly too because of these things.
But you came just as close to becoming governor as you did, Senator.
Just fell short.
Well, just short.
A little bit less than Senator Turpin's.
It was because still competitive.
They also had huge amounts of fraud in this thing.
I mean, they were shipping in blacks from Mississippi to vote.
They had black districts.
If only James Meredith could determine the election.
I'll just look at the facts on the ground.
They had black districts in New Orleans that voted 100% of the registered voters.
And guess what, folks?
That's impossible.
What?
Because registered voters stay on the reins for years.
There's not 100%, especially in a black community where 100% are healthier.
They're out of jail.
I mean, 20% of black people in jail.
I hate to say it on an average level.
Not because they're black, but because they commit crimes.
Right, not because they're black.
So you're not going to be voting in jail.
So, I mean, people are often, you see this in any district, there are people on the rolls that are not there anymore.
They're in a different state or they're not available.
Or six feet under.
Right, right, exactly.
You can't have 100% voting.
A couple of them would just get it wrong, right?
I mean, they would just push the wrong.
It's wrong precinct, right?
You can't have that.
Check the wrong box.
But there was a lot of fraud.
So the fraud didn't start with Biden and Trump or with Hillary and Trump.
That's what a lot of things.
All right.
Well, anyway.
Look, about a minute before the third hour begins.
Yeah, those are losses, but you know, the truth is, we did.
Or were they?
We accomplished a lot as we showed it can be done, right?
And we showed it's possible.
And we did get elected.
And we spoke.
And I've used that platform for years.
And I've been all over the world.
I've spoken to hundreds of colleges all over the world.
I've done media.
And we can talk a little bit about more of the political career before 2003 when they put me in jail.
Well, if they hadn't sent you to the gulag, we wouldn't be sitting here tonight because this is the fact, ladies and gentlemen.
It was in Willis Cardo's American Free Press that we still collaborate with, of course.
They put David Duke's mailing address in prison.
And I started a correspondence with him, and it led to us becoming friends.
He invited me to speak at his conference in 2004.
And that conference, attending that meeting really put me into the bloodstream of so many great people who have shaped my life.
David, Sam Dixon, Paul Fromps, so many others.
The rest of it is history.
The rest of it is history.
But if you had to go to prison, we wouldn't be sitting here together tonight.
