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.
And welcome, everybody, to tonight's live installment of TPC.
It is Saturday evening, July the 13th, and it's great to be home.
It's great to be home.
I haven't seen Keith Alexander, it seems, in a month of Sundays, but it's really only been about a month.
But it seems like a long time.
You're looking sharp tonight, my friend.
I will tell you, Keith came to work tonight ready to rock and roll.
He has a yellow and pale red plaid tie on.
A madras tie.
Full suit.
Well, it's a coat.
It's a sport coat and white trousers.
White trousers with white, what is that, suede?
White bucks.
White bucks.
Some navy blue socks, his watch.
He's got a pocket square, the pin.
He came from work.
Let me say that.
Working on Saturday night.
Now, this is the man.
You know, money never sleeps, does it, Keith?
Well, I tell you what, money tends to sleep too much on me.
Whenever it's awake, I have to beckon to its call.
So even on the Saturday night, right before the show, we've still got him, though.
And listen, Keith, I got to shake your hand.
I've missed you these last couple of weeks.
It has been a busy month of programming here on TPC, back-to-back shows on the road.
I don't know if we've ever done that before, especially the expanse between the two locations.
We were down in Louisiana for five days.
I got back.
I had two days at home, including the holiday where we hosted everybody for the 4th of July.
My wife hosted it.
All of the family was over at our house.
And then the very next day, Friday, straight over to South Carolina.
So Louisiana to South Carolina with a holiday in between.
And it's been challenging, but very rewarding.
Well, everybody wants a piece of you.
You're like, what do you call it?
Saltwater taffy at the state fair and being pulled in every direction.
I'll tell you what, I'm glad that there's an audience, and I'm glad that people enjoy seeing us, and we certainly enjoy seeing them.
I got to ask you, just as you've had a couple of weeks here to sort of rest up and it shows you look like you've got an extra pep in your step tonight and you look healthy and tan and all of that.
But just from outside of your normal seat as co-host and into the seat as a listener these past two weeks, what do you think of the programs?
Without going into any detail, but just.
They were all enthusiastic.
Everybody enjoyed being there.
You are on vacation, and I think.
Sort of.
We're working vacation.
Yeah, working vacation, but you were enjoying yourself.
It looks like you've come back likewise fit and tanned.
Let me tell you.
I did get a tan.
When we were down in Louisiana, we had, well, we'll talk about that in the next hour.
In the next hour, the second hour, we are going to catch our collective breath here as your humble correspondents.
And we're going to talk a little bit more about these trips, the people we met, some of the things that were shared.
Obviously, I guess if you listen to the shows, you know what was going on on the air.
But what was going on behind the scenes, I think, is of equal interest and perhaps importance.
And so we'll share a little bit of those stories with you.
We're having a gym dandy July so far with these back-to-back shows on the road.
And now back this evening on the eve of the Republican National Convention, we will be talking also a little bit more in the second hour.
It'll just be Keith and I getting back together and getting back in the saddles here.
A lot of listener correspondence.
We're going to touch on and respond to in the second hour.
In the third hour, some great guests tonight, which we'll get to in a moment.
We're going to give you a little preview for some of the stuff coming up.
This is going to be kind of like a reset show.
We're going to be still covering the news.
We're going to still be playing all the songs you want to hear.
But we're also going to catch up on some announcements and some observations and things like that and try to have a little bit of a good time as well.
Coming up with us here at the top of the next segment will be Congressman Steve Stockman.
He's back.
He was with us back the first week of June, I believe it was.
He appeared in tandem with Steve King that night to talk about the 34 felony convictions that were handed down to Donald Trump.
I think this was the first show we had after those convictions were made known and that the jury had rendered its verdict.
And great show by the two Steves covering that.
Well, he's back tonight because he's up in Milwaukee and he's attending the Republican National Convention, which starts this week coming up.
So he's going to give us the insider information and what's going on and what he expects will be going on.
And we're going to get his take on what's going on in the Democratic Party as well.
Former Congressman Steve Stockman out of Texas.
Just a great guy.
Great guy.
So we'll look forward to getting the inside scoop from him in just a moment.
But first, I just got to mention this while we're just keeping it light and not trivial.
Trivial means it's not important.
But while we're keeping things light here, just to kick tonight's show off, Keith, you brought into work this evening a collage, a nice collage here of 12 pictures, all black and white from Keith's boyhood.
Now, how old are you in these pictures?
Probably about four or five.
All right, four or five, he says.
And he's here at the head of the class wearing suspenders and a tie.
You're wearing suit and tie even from your earliest days, apparently.
That was my birthday party.
Wow, all these kids wearing – looks like they're going to court.
And this is just a birthday party.
Keith, I think he's got the same glasses on tonight as he did when he was five years old.
I'm looking here at this picture.
Those were all wire rim, kind of gold, you know, look like something that Adolph Eichmann would wear.
Well, I see a picture of you doing some boxing with one of these stand-up boxing machines, punching bags, I should say.
You're playing baseball in one of these.
It looks like a hot summer day.
You're on the beach with some toy soldiers.
Were those the Confederates or the Union you were playing with?
I think they were probably World War II soldiers.
Okay.
We won't talk about that.
Out here, this is a great picture.
Keith's dad, what car is this?
That is a 1952 Studebaker.
My father's washing his father.
Looks as big as a house.
Yeah, and then next to him, I'm here with my little kitty car, and I'm washing it.
And even the play car here is like as big as some of the cars now that people drive in.
This is just great stuff.
It's like a fiat or something.
Keith on the couch looking.
Well, no, look, that's a machine.
I thought that was a telescope.
That's a machine gun.
It's a toy machine gun.
Yeah, I'm up here trying out my toy machine gun in the living room.
The thing that I brought that to you for is to show you how you were raised as a boy in the 1950s.
I see you right here in your Davies Crockett schoon.
Coonskin.
My goodness.
See, everything is manly and boyish.
You did not have any gender, non-specific stuff going on there.
Got a picture of him holding a football and a football helmet.
Yeah, and then I'm up here driving a golf ball, one of those little wiffle ball golf balls in my front yard.
This is a great collage.
I will have you, I will ask you to write an article about what happened between then and now.
And we'll illustrate it with this photo collage, which is just all American.
We were talking about right before the show started.
You said this looks like a world like it was a world away.
And I said, Keith, this is a different planet.
This doesn't even look like it could have possibly existed on this planet, much less within the lifetime of you, obviously, but this, I mean, it wasn't that long ago.
Not really.
Boys were boys and girls were girls, and we were raised to be boys and girls.
And things, we didn't have a problem with the birth rates, for example, back then.
Boys and girls got together.
If you were not going to college, you probably got married in the summer after you graduated from high school, and you had plenty of kids.
And that's just the way it was.
And, you know, you can say what you will.
I think that a lot of the changes that we've had, like the no-fault divorce laws and the sexual revolution, the drug culture, things like this, have changed life, not just in America, but all over the white world, Europe, the Anglosphere, Australia, all of these places.
It's been a change, and it's been a change that's been forced on us from up above.
You know, our so-called betters, our elites.
And of course, you had public school integration, which made it very expensive to have children because no conscientious parent could send their children to the public schools in a place like Memphis.
So what you did is you sent them to private school, and you realized suddenly it was a great expense to have children.
So people stopped having a lot of people.
One of the many reasons.
We're going to have an interview coming up, not tonight, but soon with Liv Haida, who has a very unique dating site that looks to replenish the birth rates of our folks.
But yeah, she's out of Germany, so they're having the same problems in Germany.
All of the Western world.
Not even just the Western world.
I mean, even in Asia and places like that.
And, you know, yeah, really.
The only place having a population boom is sub-Saharan Africa, but that's a different topic, but India, I guess.
Already?
The first segment's over already?
Well, anyway, this was really good, Keith.
It only took us a generation or two to lose it all.
Can we get it back?
And just as quickly, that's what we're hoping for.
We'll be right back with Congressman Steve Stockman.
Yeah, you do remember it.
We're reliving it now.
Steve Stockman, Congressman Stockman up next.

I think that my family has always had a big influence on me for not smoking because since I was little, I was taught that smoking was wrong.
Recent studies indicate that smoking among teens often leads to the use of alcohol and other drugs.
I think having faith in God is a big part in it because the way I was raised has helped to avoid smoking.
Smoking, if you think you're old enough to start, you're smart enough to stop.
A public service message from this station and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Okay.
All right, everybody.
We are back and welcome back.
It's good to be back.
We are waiting for Congressman Stockman to call in.
He has a phalanx of defense on his cell phone.
And I think what the problem was, Liz, is if it's a number he knows, it goes through.
If it's not, it doesn't.
And I think for whatever reason, we weren't calling from the regular studio line, so it didn't ring for him.
But anyway, I just talked to him, and he'll be calling in hopefully at any moment.
It's been one of those days.
We were troubleshooting some stuff earlier before the show, and we won't get into all of that about an hour before the program.
We're just along for the ride, James.
We're just hanging on.
Nuclear meltdown.
James, I'm here.
I don't know if you can hear me.
I can hear you fine, Congressman, and it's great to have you.
We are live this Saturday evening, July the 13th, with Congressman Steve Stockman.
And it's great to have you back.
There's so much we want to talk to you about.
We were just mentioning in the opening segment, when we were sort of setting the table tonight, that the last time you appeared, it was in tandem with our friend Steve King talking about the reactions to the 34 felony convictions that were handed down to Trump.
And my goodness, a lot has changed since just last month.
It was just 32 days ago or something like that, if I'm looking at the calendar.
This is all unplowed ground.
I don't think you've ever had an election coming up for president in America where things like this have been happening before.
And we need to get your take on it to make sense of it.
Yeah, let's start with the Democratic Party, Steve.
You saw the debate.
We all watched that debate.
And keeping your ear to the ground as you can as a former congressman, what's going on over on the other side?
Well, I wrote back in Richard Vigory's blog, Conservative Headquarters.
That's kind of like a memo for conservative leaders.
And then September, I said, because they picked Chicago, I can assure you that Biden will not be the nominee.
And the reason being, if you're Biden and you want to get re-elected and you quote, lived in a swing state, it would only be logical he'd picked Pittsburgh or Philadelphia.
And when they picked Chicago, I said, man, this has Obama's fingerprints all over it.
And clearly, he's running the show.
And no one's asking the questions.
Why was this the earliest debate we've ever had in our history?
Usually debates come after the nomination process.
And the reason why is they wanted, yeah, they wanted to give themselves time to get rid of Uncle Joe.
He's the sick uncle that needs to go, and they're going to wheel him out.
Well, he's like Mr. Magoo running for president.
And I was going to ask you this.
Are we going to see a replay of the 1968 presidential convention for the Democrats in Chicago?
Or I think the Longest Day of Management.
No, The radicals that are on the outside are now the inside running it.
And you're not going to see a bunch of Republicans out there rising.
That's a great radicals.
Those radicals are, as you know, Chicago was rot, and they're all in charge now, unfortunately.
You've got to remember, Obama kicked his campaign off in a guy who should have been imprisoned for life for terrorism.
And he was a communist, an avout communist.
And you got really, this is not a takeover of left versus right.
This is Marxism, hardcore stuff.
This is the presidency.
We've also had a transformation of the presidency in the Democratic Party.
It's no longer, they have graduated from having a single person as a president.
It looks like they've got a common turn that runs the presidency now.
And they're all extreme left-wingers, and they are all dismissive and contemptuous of public opinion, it seems like.
What do you say?
Well, in 1994, I was first elected.
Believe it or not, that's 30 years ago.
It's kind of weird.
Seems like yesterday.
But when I was first elected, the Democrat Party had a third of the congressmen who were called blue dog Democrats.
Those blue dogs were back then, I guess the Republicans were blue instead of red, which they still should be.
But they were basically conservative Democrats.
And every one of those guys, every single one of the last ones run out.
And now, even the liberal Democrats are being run out.
AOC Sandy, the bartender, won a contest put on by socialists, and she basically ran out of a Democrat that wasn't sufficient enough in her liking or the leftist liking.
So Soros is throwing people out, and there's a lot of money.
And I pretty much convinced a lot of the money, like our friend Sleep with the Communists.
I think the Chinese have pumped a lot of money in taking over the Democrat Party.
A lot of foreigners generally, it seems like.
Everybody except a normal American voter has a seat at the table.
Right, exactly.
They're running the show.
Steve, I want to get back to something you said a moment ago, because it was something that I kept noticing.
And just not nearly from the perspective that you have, but having been through a few presidential cycles as a talk radio host these last 20 years, I said, this seems very, very early for the first presidential debate.
I mean, this is normally things you don't get until September, October.
I said, why are they having it late June?
And, you know, people could theorize, but you think you have the answer.
And I think your answer sounds pretty deadgum plausible.
You thought it was all set up to make him look, well, I don't say make him look bad, just to showcase really what he was so they could pull the rug out from under him.
Yeah, but if they took, think about it.
This is what they did, by the way.
They did it in Georgetown.
It's the classic called Color Revolution, which we actually developed.
And they role-played.
They went backwards and said, Well, what if we take it away from Joe at the convention?
Well, we can't do that until we get the people behind us because it's from the top down, right?
They have to convince the Democrat Party and get all these donors and everything on board with what they're going to do.
So if they make Joe look like a fool, and then they have a couple editorial articles in the New York Times that are buddies with Obama's attack him, and you have all these different people telling them to quit, donors, and everything.
Then, when they switch it out, everybody's going to go, ooh, that was close.
Oh, we solved all the problems of the Democratic Party.
We have Kamoa or Obama.
And by the way, people forget, Obama, when he ran for Senate, state Senate, and then he ran for National Senate.
When he ran for NASA Senate, they said, You're just, you know, you're a climber.
That's all you're interested in.
You're going to run for president.
Barack Obama said, I have no interest in running for president.
When I win the Senate seat, I pledge to carry out my whole seat.
I just don't have any interest.
Does that not?
I'm not interested sound familiar to you guys.
It's exactly what Michelle says.
Well, what role does Obama have in the United States?
Excuse me, Democratic Party now.
Sorry?
Is Obama in charge of the Democratic Party now?
He's the president that he stayed in Washington.
Yeah, and he also has a house in which all the White House staffers work out of.
It's very close, ironically, not ironically, but probably purposely, near a mosque.
And the first thing he did when he bought that house is he put a fence up around it, and Valerie Jarrett started working out of the house.
That's what's going on.
And if any brave reporter, I've told reporter after reporter to go down there, and they're all a reporter, you know, they talk about politicians not having any guts.
Reporters won't go down there and photograph the license plates who are going in and out of that house.
And I'll guarantee you, every one of those staffers is not controlled by Biden, but by Obama.
Who are they?
Tell us to your opinion.
Well, Valerie Jared working out there, huh?
Party?
I was just saying, you have an idea, I'm sure, of some of these people.
What's her name?
Prine and, you know, maybe Dave Adams.
Valerie Jared, look at the people there.
Valerie Jared.
I'm telling you, Valer Jarrett, listen to me.
Valerie Jarrett was the secretary for Mayor Daly.
She ran the voting operation.
She ran the voter fraud.
And she was in charge.
She was born in Iran, and then, of course, she came to the United States.
She was Mayor Daly's right-hand man.
They emulated what they did in Chicago and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
And I had articles in 2008, and I was telling people and warning them that this is corruption.
Also, what I've warned people about was this thing I think called Win Red or whatever.
It is an arm of Obama, and they intentionally put in bogus.
I've talked about this for years.
It's frustrating.
And it's one of the biggest money laundering operations, and yet Republicans won't call it out for what it is.
The reason Democrats have so much money is because they funnel it through that, they wash it through that platform.
By the way, this is why I get put in prison because I felt too much truth-telling.
Well, let me ask you this: why are the Republicans not calling this out?
Well, they watch what happened to me, and no one came to my aid.
I mean, I was calling stuff out.
That's true.
I got there.
There was a congressman by a name of, which you guys probably know, Dana Rohacker, a great congressman.
I got to slow down.
I don't know if it's legal to talk in Tennessee in the zone, isn't it?
I put it on your screen.
You guys got state troopers with trucks.
Oh my goodness.
Anyhow, yeah, Dana Rohbacher is a great congressman.
It was really one of the bravest guys.
And he went in the 80s and went and fought against the Russian with the Mujahideen.
And he was so alarmed by me whistleblowing and that.
And he came up to me and said, Steve, you're either going to get killed or thrown in jail.
He said, you need to stop it.
So even he, who's very brave, was giving me a warning.
So when my wife, Patty, went to talk to him.
He said, I warned Steve.
You know, he basically said he warned me.
But there's something wrong where in your own country, if you find corruption and you call it out and they persecute the guy that whistleblows, something's possible.
Absolutely.
Hold on right there, my friend.
I know you are traveling.
You're on your way up to the GOP convention in Milwaukee.
And we are going to take a quick break.
And when we come back, there's so much more I want to get to with Steve Stockman.
His precious takes.
He was calling out the removal of the removal of Biden would happen months ago.
And we're going to get some of his predictions as well.
So stay tuned.

In Consumer News, a high-end automaker announces a recall.
BMW of North America is recalling more than 390,000 vehicles in the U.S. because an airbag inflator could possibly explode.
The Fed say the original steering wheel may have been replaced with a sport or M-Sport steering wheel equipped with a Takata inflator.
If the inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could hit the driver or others in the vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death.
BMW has not received any reports of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue.

Hello, TPC family.
It's James, and I've got to tell you that I sleep better at night knowing that there are organizations like the Conservative Citizens Foundation.
The purpose of the Conservative Citizens Foundation is to promote the principles of limited government, individual liberty, equality before the law, property rights, law and order, judicial restraint, and states' rights, while at the same time, exploring the dangers posed by liberalism to our national interests and cultural institutions.
The Conservative Citizens Foundation also seeks to educate the public on the dangers of extremist ideologies like critical race theory and cultural Marxism.
I've worked with the good people at the Conservative Citizens Foundation for many years, and their work comes with my complete endorsement.

Welcome back, everybody, to TPC this Saturday evening, July the 13th.
We're on the eve of the Republican National Convention, which is coming up this week ahead, the week ahead.
And Steve Stockman is driving up there now from Texas to Milwaukee.
Steve was sharing with us in the break that he was a casualty of barrel.
He had lost his power down there along with a couple of million other Texans.
And so I don't know how good the food in the fridge is going To be when you get back from Texas, Steve, but hopefully, we'll have an interesting VP, and we're going to be talking to you about that in just a moment.
And thank you again for your time tonight.
Busy week on the way from Texas to Wisconsin.
Steve's been stopping and doing some speaking appearances and good times being had by all.
But on the Democratic side, just to wrap this up very quickly, again, I think you nailed it, my friend, to say that the reason they had this very unusual, I think unprecedented presidential debate so early in the calendar was it gave them just enough time to execute this plan to remove Biden off of the ticket because, of course, the Democrats are holding their convention after the Republicans, so they've got a couple of more weeks for this to marinate.
But my question for you on this is why now is the media reporting what we've always known about Biden?
And I don't, look, Biden is not a good person.
I don't think he is good for this country.
I don't think he's a good individual.
He's like a figurehead.
I understand all of that.
But what I'm saying is I don't mock his illness because that's a tragic thing.
And old age and death comes for us all.
And it's not something that we should just take glee in that anyone would be in this condition.
But to me, Steve, he's not in a substantially worse condition than he was when he ran in 2019 and 2020.
And the Democrats are turning this like this is something new.
And our shot.
All of a sudden, they saw what we've seen for four or five years now, a couple of weeks ago, and now the media is reporting it when before they never did.
What has caused that pivot, that about face, so abruptly, in your opinion?
And why do people think he was as dumb as we know he was?
As I mentioned earlier, you can't kick Biden out of the seat unless you bring the people along.
And they consume CNN and New York Times and all that.
So until you get them on your side, and I believe Obama told or requested or however you want to portray it, in orchestration with everybody else to highlight the difficulties he's having now because they want to replace him.
It's all, I took some of it like a kabuki dance, but the thing is, I wrote it back in August, and even before that, I wrote an article when I was in prison that he wasn't going to be the nominee after he won.
And it's just impossible to replicate the vote stealing, the massive vote stealing they did last time.
Because, I mean, they could, theoretically, we don't know yet what they're going to do, but it'd be really hard for them to do the same thing because it was so blatant.
But to answer your question, it is because they wanted to remove Biden and they had to bring the grassroots along with them.
Well, somebody got a message, though, to all of the media, which the left-wing media, the controlled media, always speaks with a single voice.
There's never any diversity of opinion between the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, you name it, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, all of them, all of them.
All of the liberal left-wing media, they always speak with a single voice.
So for them to all of them, at a single moment, right after the last debate, all of a sudden start reporting on Biden's infirmities, somebody obviously got a message to them because there wasn't even a single one of them that said, you know what, no, everything's fine.
This is the way it's always been.
We need to just keep on trucking.
Something happened there, Steve.
And I don't know exactly how this works behind the scenes.
I wish I did, but somehow, some way, they all came to Hill and got in line.
Well, I don't know if you remember this, but Hillary Clinton, when she was running, she made a list of what she called.
In fact, she made, I wonder if you can still get it online.
She made a list of all the people that were, quote, in her camp where she could deliver.
It's in a book called Shattered, by the way.
And also in that book, I want to say, I'm trying to remember the page number, but it was where she describes how they're going to do.
Now, remember, these are two liberal reporters there in the Hillary campaign that wrote the book.
And she describes how she's going to do the Russian hoax.
Yet no one ever points to that book.
And to the degree that you read that book and realize just how orchestrated it is and how their ability is to make things happen is because they have sympathizers in the press.
And I argue almost that there's indistinguishable difference really between the Democrat Party and the press.
They're one and the same.
Well, following up on that note, Steve, why did no Republicans back in 2020 come out and really press the idea that the election was stolen?
Well, I mean, a lot of them did.
Well, some did, but the official Republican position was not that it was stolen.
At least that's my recollection.
Why?
I have an idea of why it is, but I want to get your take on it.
But then I want to.
I think to some degree, when you have a politician, man, what is it with your state?
There we go.
Well, they got to make money.
You can't drive over.
I want to drive the minimum of 90, and I can't do it.
I'm from Texas.
That's what we drive.
They do down there.
That's true.
You're not in Montana or Texas.
No, I can tell.
But by the way, anybody that's never been here that's listening to the show, it's a beautiful, beautiful state and great friendly people.
And I really enjoy Tennessee.
Like you say on the David Crockett TV show, Greenest State in the Land of the Free.
There you go.
I don't know how free we are, but we're still green.
But yeah, I know you're becoming the number one state for Californians to move here.
And that's those two.
They flee the policies of California, and then they vote for the same people that were in California.
Yeah, that's a pretty ominous observation.
But let's, all right, I got to ask you this.
I do want to move forward.
I know Keith asked a question about the 2020 election, but we're already beginning to run out of time, and I've got so much more I want to cover with you.
Not the least of which is what's coming up on the GOP side with the convention this week, which you will be at.
But I want to ask you one more thing about this process that the Democrats are obviously in the midst of right now.
Biden seems to be hanging on, hanging in like a rusty fish hook.
Interestingly, I think what is it, the Washington Post, Democracy Dies in Darkness.
If the presidential candidate who the people want gets in, that's called democracy dying in darkness.
But the situation is interesting.
I mean, obviously, there has to be a mechanism and a process for a president who wins a nomination to be replaced at the convention.
And obviously, you would be thinking about the thing that would trigger this would be the death of a candidate or a nominee, not the fact that he's obviously not doing well because he wasn't doing well for five years.
So they let him go through the whole nominating process, Steve.
Joe Biden, we're talking about.
And he won up, what, like 95% of the votes because he ran unopposed as the incumbent.
And now they're going to try to remove him, even though he's like he doesn't want to be removed.
But they're still the only one.
It looks like they're going to try to do it.
Yeah, but he's the only one that can release them.
What matters now is the amount of degree of the money they're going to give to the Bidens to step down.
There's no, I mean, if you're going to, if you get, if you want your grassroots at the convention or the supporters and the bigwigs and the money donors, everybody that's at the Democrat convention to acquiesce of taking over a duly elected person, you have to bring along everybody else.
And that's what you're going through, a kabuki dance right now where, you know, it's kind of like they're pretending, you know, that what they're doing is real.
And this thing was mapped out.
I mean, it had to be.
You picked Chicago ahead of time.
And if you did that, that means you were playing this all along.
It's kind of like when Hillary smashed her phones and hooked up a server in their bathroom.
She was planning to commit crime.
You know, you open a trunk and you see a mask, a hammer, and tape.
You're thinking, hey, this guy might be a kidnapper.
Go ahead.
Who do you predict they will settle on as the actual candidate?
All right, that's a great question, Keith.
And I would just add to that, Steve.
What is the process for this now?
So you've got a guy who won the nomination, a guy who, at least as of right now, says he's not leaving.
His wife's playing the role of Lady Macbeth.
He's going to stay in there no matter what and all of that.
So what is the process for removing a?
I mean, I guess he would have to volunteer to step down at this point.
But then what's the process of how do you have a free-for-all two-week primary?
Or is when the dust settles is going to be?
Yeah.
The thing is, I think there's going to be a great deal of pressure on Michelle to get up there.
And she goes, I don't want this job, but for the sake of my nation and to stop Trump, I'm willing to sacrifice the rigors of a presidential nomination and campaign just for you.
I mean, it's BS.
It's the same thing Obama did.
And people forget.
Remember, I mentioned this earlier.
Obama promised not to run for president, but he did it.
He sacrificed.
And he decided to give himself to our country.
And we were blessed to have him.
I mean, you know what I mean?
It's all Kennard.
By the way, that was a great name of the doctor that examined Biden.
His name is Kennard, which means, you know, fake, false.
A tale, a fairy tale.
So this is what you're going to go through.
We've got to sit through this process.
And I was talking about this, and I wrote about it in a book that I recommended.
I was recommending the Marxist book by our friend Mark Levin.
And in that article, I wrote about in detail about what was coming and why we needed to.
See, that's why all I wanted to do was not attack Biden.
I think we're shadow boxing if we're attacking Biden.
I said, we need to attack the Democrat Party because we don't know who our opponent's going to be, but it's definitely not going to be Biden.
So I said, we need to start shifting away from Biden and attacking the whole policies because the way the Democrats are going to portray it is, oh, it's great.
You know, we're saved now because we solved the problem.
We have someone new.
I got to tell you this.
I had Carl Rove.
I don't know if you guys are from Mon Cairo, but he's a political consultant.
Of course.
And he's from the very establishment moderate wing of the George Bush wing.
And he hated me.
And he ran someone against me at the last minute, switched out the election, and was personal friends with George Bush and got in my race and I spent tons of money.
It was a last-minute switch.
And then I learned so much from that is that when I ran for Congress 12 years ago, 11 years ago, whatever, I did the same thing.
I was in one race.
And literally, in my case, what I did, well, I didn't do it, but the guy down there was doing it, waited to the door was closed, and we had two minutes left to file.
And because of that, we were winning.
Switching candidates gives euphoria to the base.
It's the only way they're going to prop up their base.
They get excited, but that only lasts for a few months.
You can't do it too soon.
So they're going to wait till the last possible minute, and then they're going to switch it to someone either Michelle Camela.
And then they're going to be all right.
Stake out.
Stake out somebody at Obama's house in Washington, D.C., and take down license numbers and figure out who it is.
All right.
So, well, there you have it.
That's a great idea.
I wish I thought of it.
But I think it's fascinating, Steve, that you were writing that this would be what would happen all the way back last August, a year ago now, and even before that, as you said, when you were a guest of the state, I guess you could put it, or the federal government.
So this is fascinating, and it does look like this is the trajectory right now.
We'll see what happens.
But we've got to pivot now with only a few minutes remaining.
I think I've spent a little more time on this than I wanted to, although there wasn't a wasted minute.
But I do want to talk to you for the last 10 minutes before the end of the hour.
Then I know you got to go.
The Republican side of the situation, Donald Trump has never been in a better position in terms of the polls as it stands right now.
Obviously, there's going to be some surprises coming up.
But let's talk about what you expect to see at the GOP convention.
You're on your way to Wisconsin right now.
You're going to be there next week in Milwaukee.
First of all, big news about the GOP platform.
What happened this week with that?
Well, they pulled out a traditional pro-life message because we have been losing.
By the way, there's more abortions occurring now since the Supreme Court decision than before the decision.
People should know that.
So the argument that the Supreme Court banned abortion is just an outrageous lie.
And we've been taken to task by the left.
And so some of the people in the party, which I don't think was wise, wanted to concede to Trump's wishes and took out the lengthy pro-life statement and substitute it for each state gets to choose how they're going to rule, which is really the Supreme Court's decision.
The Republican Party has discovered states' rights.
Yeah.
Well, what about him?
By the way, I think we're, huh?
No, you go ahead, Steve, please.
You want me to give you a warning and prediction?
I'm not always accurate in all my predictions, but I think I'm running about 85, 90%.
So here's one thing you've got to watch out.
We'll take those odds any day.
He gets sentenced, and he could sentence him through the election.
And the only way they should be preparing right now for the emergency stay of that sentencing.
And if he gets sentenced like that, I've got to ask you, you're on to something now.
No, no, no.
Pardon this interruption, but I think it's important to interject you.
The last time you were on back in the first week of June with Steve King, we had talked about those convictions.
And at the time, Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on July the 11th, which was earlier this week.
And that would have been right before the convention.
You were talking about, yeah, they could possibly take him out of the convention.
We'll see what happens.
You didn't say that they would.
You said that was obviously a possibility.
But why do you think that they postponed the sentencing to September?
Well, The reason that they gave publicly was because of Supreme Court decision, which does have some impact on the case because they introduced evidence, which the Supreme Court said now they couldn't introduce.
And of course, the left is going, oh, there's no evidence in the trial that was introduced.
That's simply not true.
And the other thing is, is that I think they want him to advertise and everything saying, you know, he's in jail.
You can't, you know.
But that may actually backfire.
I'm sure there's some trepidation because there's a high number of African Americans who've been put in prison, and they would very much identify with someone that's wrongly put in prison.
I think he has gone up with them for the first time.
The GOP's wish to get a slightly larger percent of the black vote.
I think with Trump having been a convicted felon now and all of this, yes, I mean, what you're saying holds merit.
But the fact that they postponed it to September, yes, they did say the reason was the Supreme Court rulings, but they're still going to sentence him.
And whether it be time-served or whatever, or to actual prison, I guess we'll find out in September.
But by then, you could have Michelle Obama at the head of the ticket.
What her qualifications are, it seems to escape me, but we will.
She probably actually ran the Obama White House.
Well, she seems to be the man of the relationship, to be honest.
Now, there's one other person that's creeping underneath all this, and it's like Jack Nicholson, you know, where he goes, I'm back or whatever.
And that would be our lovely Hillary.
You think so?
You think she's got another one in her?
She's had about $200,000, $300,000 face work.
She's got a book out, and now she's got her people showing that she would beat Trump.
She's not dead yet.
It's like, what is that?
Is that like Dragon going to drive it?
He's a hard time.
Yeah, Jason, or like Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger.
They come back.
There's always another sequel.
Well, as long as they end like the previous two, where she doesn't become president, we could live with that.
But I tell you, I mean, of course, we'll see.
She's got too much mileage.
I think he's going to be chill.
What if Michelle was the wife of a president?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, again.
Despite what Republicans are fooling themselves, if they think they can be there with no problem, it would be a good idea.
Yes.
Well, and the media can package anybody, and they can give credentials where they do not exist.
They proved that with Joe Biden.
Well, they proved it with Obama.
Who was he when he became president?
A community organizer for 80% of the people.
Think about you guys.
They only need to do it for less than 90 days.
And then after that, the election's over.
That's a very interesting and key point, Steve.
Great observation.
As if you've been in Congress or something.
You know how these things work.
They only got to hold together for a couple of months with whatever kind of scam they're trying to pull.
I tell you, we said at the end of the year how this year would bring things that we've never seen before.
And Biden's still in there right now.
I mean, we could be proven wrong.
Steve seems to think it's almost done for us.
Sure.
Yeah, why not?
By the way, early voting starts in 61 days, which is about four months before the election, but that's how they do it.
The good old Voting Rights Act of 65.
Well, this whole thing, and now you can vote for any way, mail it in, bag it in.
But yeah, so that's it.
Yeah, early voting, a significant percentage of the population will vote long before election day, and a lot could change between early voting and November, obviously.
But very quickly, last question.
We did mention the GOP platform.
Just give me 30 seconds on this, Steve.
I haven't even read it.
I've been traveling so much.
And of course, the platform doesn't mean that's what the candidates or the congressmen are going to go to bat for.
But was it good on immigration?
Was it good at all?
Was it conservative?
Was it well, I personally think if you take a Trump speech, that's pretty much the platform.
It's the first time I've ever seen the platform where there's capitalizations.
When you look at it, it's like Trump yelling, you know.
But no, it's like one of his one of his tweets.
Well, it's yeah, one of his tweets, right?
Yeah, exactly.
It's the shortest one.
I want to say the last one is 44 pages.
This one's like 16.
Hey, well, I mean, if they can hit all the highlights, I guess I should probably read it if I'm going to talk about it.
If I'm going to be a talk radio host, I should probably read it.
But again, it doesn't really matter to me because it matters what they do.
The last one, huh?
Well, and they didn't have one.
I don't think they even released one in 2020.
So I read the media were talking about how far right it was, and it's like Trump's, you know, the greatest nightmares you have about Trump.
That's the platform now.
But, I mean, they say that all the time, so you never know what's real.
But, all right, so it's pretty good to see you.
You know, it'd be amazing.
These guys, the press, will use pejoratives and say, it was horrible.
He's a good, you know, all these things.
You go.
Then here's what happens.
When you start asking specifically what it is, they go, well, he wants to cut taxes and he wants to quit letting illegal immigrants in.
That's what they consider right-wing.
Anything normal is right-wing.
And you have to deviate.
Go ahead.
No, no, we got one minute left.
No, what you're saying is exactly right.
I could have spent 30 minutes on this next question, but we got one minute.
What do you expect the nation will see over the course of the next week in Milwaukee?
You're going to be there at the GOP convention.
The last one they had, Sam Bushman and I were there, but he's out of town and I've been traveling.
So we're skipping this one.
They didn't have one in 2020.
Or it was a virtual one.
What do you expect this week?
One minute.
What do you expect?
Who's the VP nominee going to be?
Actually, a very big surprise.
It's going to be me.
I wish.
That's not a voter's rotten.
That's fixing that I'd like to see.
I can tell you this.
Well, I can tell you this.
I'm not in favor of how you pronounce it, Doug Bergman or whatever.
Yeah, I know he is.
He's like, in terms of establishment, he's 100% establishment.
And he's, you know, well, I don't think he'll call it.
No, he's worse than like.
Is that possible?
Who would be good?
Who could realistically be named?
And presumably Trump is going to name him.
I've always wanted to push, and I wished he would do it, but I'm the only one out there pushing for her.
And she doesn't even know it, but the Maria Baltaroma, I can't say her name, but she would be perfect because she's so hard on the Democrats and so articulate and never vacillates.
She's amazing, and she's all trained.
She's, you know, a news anchor on Fox, I guess, on Sundays and stuff.
And she's really brilliant.
Is that it?
Yeah, that's who he's talking about.
Yeah, exactly.
That would certainly be a surprise pick, although not likely.
Well, no, it's not on the radar.
I'm just saying, you asked me who I wish for.
Oh, yeah, who you wish.
Now, who do you predict?
Who do I predict?
I'm probably going to go with Vance or Rubio.
Those are the two of the top three, I think, that are left.
I'm not a big Vance fan, to tell you the truth, because he called Trump a Hitler, and he called him all kinds of stuff.
And I go, you know, you called him these names, you know, you can flip just as easily for him as against him.
I feel uncomfortable.
It's like a girlfriend that tells you you go to hell, get lost, and you come back, and it never works out.
Yeah.
Well, I tell you what, one way or another, we will find out.
You have a great time in Milwaukee this week, my friend, and enjoy the festivities.
And we will talk to you again on the radio before the end of this year, hopefully more than once, because there's going to be a lot to talk about with regards to presidential and national politics.
And hopefully, everybody's going to be conversational.
That's right.
Good.
Everybody's going to church tomorrow.
Hey, the last time you'll have to go to church on a Sunday before this convention, so they'll need the Lord's guidance.
