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, TPC's March Around the World advances this evening, now the third of five weeks into this special series.
We'll be spending the first hour in Germany with our dear friend and comrade, Sasha Rossmuller, a journalist, a political activist, and an author.
He's working on a new book, an exciting project we'll tell you about this hour.
And of course, Sasha's a lot more than that as well.
He is going to be with us this hour to discuss the current situation in Germany.
He is in Bavaria, no less, that land of great castles, fantastic beer, and the fairytale countryside.
Sasha's a real prince.
Sasha, how are you doing tonight, brother?
As always, when I have the huge honor being at the political cesspool, I'm feeling, I couldn't feel better.
Well, until we are gathered unto our fathers, my friend, for as long as we are doing this show and for however many more years we do this March Around the World series, I never want to do it without you.
So you have been a mainstay since we started this.
And now, this special series doesn't go as far back as the show does, but we've been doing it for a handful of years now, and I just really enjoy it.
And it's wonderful.
And Germany is just one of those countries that, of all the nations that make up Western civilization and our people throughout Europe and the world, Germany is just one that fascinates our people, you know, for a lot of different reasons.
And so it's great to be checking in with you for an hour tonight.
We'll let Keith say hello, and then we're going to get to work.
Yeah, just wanted to say this.
We have the utmost respect for the German people.
They were fragmented until the Franco-Prussian War and they became a nation at that time.
And then they just rose to the head of the class.
They were the top dogs in continental Europe.
And quite frankly, Britain and France just couldn't come to terms with the new reality.
They both thought they were transported back to 1815 and it was right after the Battle of Waterloo.
And that's where all the problems came from World War I and II.
And, you know, we've studied the history and it's obvious that the leaders of Germany did not want to fight either France or Britain.
Well, that is the history.
And now we'll move to the present and the future.
And well, Sasha, let's just begin right there talking about elections and regimes and all of that.
You just had an election that a lot of people around the world were focused on very intently.
What were the recent election results in Germany?
Yes, we had, it was not a regular election.
It was a snap election on the very short term.
And that was also one of the causes my party was not running in that election, because we have the situation here that the conservative right, the populist AFD, is in a very strong, not strong enough, but nevertheless a very strong, relatively strong development.
And given the difficult conditions created by a snap election called at short notice, and we are the only system opposition party operating nationwide, having been excluded from state party funding, which means the reimbursement of election campaigns.
So, effective campaigning would have been considerably more difficult under these circumstances of distorted competition.
And we decided to focus.
Maybe we will, in the course of this show, can discuss that, our otherwise alternative strategies we focused on and observed, nevertheless, with a huge interest the outcome of this election.
And I see it, it's a coin with its typical flip side.
On the one hand, we have seen that the opposition party, which is the only party in parliament which deserves the name of a more or less opposition, which is the AFD, could nationwide double its results.
Nevertheless, keyword firewall or Cordon Sanitaire was not enough, not strong enough to have a chance participating in a government coalition.
And unfortunately, the AFD didn't reach a crucial threshold of 25%.
It was a little bit more than 20%, but the 25% would have given the possibility for parliamentary inquiry committees, for example, regarding the pandemic management and such things.
So, in the end, we see that the center party will have slightly won the election.
The center party will make a builder coalition with the party of the former chancellor, of the Social Democrats.
So, Olaf Scholz now is called Friedrich Mertz, the Black Rock Chancellor, and nothing will change.
And the new parliament didn't constitute yet, and they made something which I would describe as a scandal of historic dimensions.
They called the old parliament with the many, many parliamentarians which have been voted out, for example, of the Social Democrats or, for example, of the Green Party, in order to decide regarding a huge program of debt policy.
So, unfortunately, despite this doubling of the votes of the AFD in practical terms, nothing will change in German policy.
Maybe it will even become worse given the fact that the prospective next chancellor, Friedrich Scholz, is a huge warmongerer.
Sasha, this is Keith Alexander.
Let me ask you this: you call this a snap election.
In other words, it kind of caught you off guard.
If your party is able to go at full strength, fully prepared in the next election, will they and the AFD have any chance of being a majority?
Well, let's just clear this up very quickly, because I know if anybody, certainly many of our regular listeners will remember Sasha's previous appearance, but if you're listening to Sasha for the first time, you're a new listener, just to be clear, I think there is perhaps a slight misconception, Sasha.
They're not necessarily wrong, but that the AFD is the party that everybody in Germany should be supporting if they think like us or share some of our concerns.
You are of a party that is a little bit more hard, a little bit more, for lack of a better phrasing, to the right of the AFD.
So explain the difference there and how, if they came in second place, a strong second place, how they're being locked out of the government.
Yes.
The party I belong to is, to be honest, is regarding power politics marginalized.
In ideological terms, the party I'm a member of and I'm a member of the executive board is an ethno-identitarian party which focuses much more on ethnicity than the AFD does and which has also not such a,
in some terms the AFT, in particular in the Western part, there are some career politicians which promote a liberalist, in economic terms, a liberalist style, which we have some differences also in that regard.
And to respond to Keith, in regard to elections, there is no chance currently for us to win in this huge nationwide election.
So my party has to concentrate on media work, on networking, on alternative media, on magazines, newspapers, and on local elections in municipalities or in elections in regional terms in combination with other groups we can coalesce with on the nationwide scale.
Currently, if there is a party which is right, politically right, so to say, from the center, it's the AFD.
However, to go on with the question you asked me, James, even if the AFD reached the second place, we had the key word firewall or Cordo Sanitaire.
And that's the huge problem that they not at all will allow the AFD to be part of a government at how the things currently stand.
Nevertheless, however, we see that this is a huge problem for the prospective next Chancellor because he has only one chance, and that is to make a coalition with the Social Democrats or with some of the parties left from the center.
Maybe I have to further explain the audience that since the days of Angela Merkel, one should not have a misconception of the center in regard of Germany.
With Angela Merkel, the center did a huge shift to the left.
And maybe for better understanding, one can describe that the AFD of today is more or less what the center party, the Christian Democrats, had been 30 or 40 years ago.
Kind of like Nigel Farage's party in Britain, the AFD as compared to your party?
Good question.
You can compare it like parties as it is from Orban or Nigel Farage Reform Party or Rassemble Mont Nationale in France.
Sasha, pardon this interruption, but I think Keith had an interesting question in so much, and I'd like to just add to it very quickly in that Nigel Farage said that his goal with the UK in the early 2000s was to take down Nick Griffin and the BNP.
So, I mean, he has said in no uncertain terms, very directly, that his goal was to extinguish true nationalistic alternatives in Great Britain.
So, again, is the AFD better than that?
Or not?
I think the AFD can't afford that rhetoric due to the fact that the AFD's most successful strongholds in the eastern part of Germany define those branches define themselves as politics, politicians from the right, not from the conservative.
And so if they would, some in the West maybe think in that terms.
However, they can't afford that rhetoric because there is also a difference in whole Germany and also, I think, within the AFD, a difference between some officials in the western part of Germany and in the eastern part of Germany.
But allow me, please, one sentence as an explanation regarding the situation of the government building in progress now.
Under Friedrich Mertz from the Center Party, we will see that, or we have seen it with this special parliament that has been called of the outvoted parliament for deciding this huge indebtedness, that the tail is wagging the dog by tying himself to the social democratic election loser.
So the future Chancellor Mertz keyword firewall by sticking to the firewall allows the junior partner who has lost the election to hold the senior partner of the coalition hostage.
And according to my opinion, that's for a chancellor the best way to become a lame duck from the very beginning.
So alone from this point of view, we know what we have to expect.
Okay.
So this leads me to another question that I wanted to get to.
Now, again, give us the name of your party again, Sasha, so people can look it up on their own time.
It's the Heimlat, translated as much as the Homeland in English.
And it's that the party, Nomenklatur, is a rebranding from 2023.
It's mostly known from its former name, the National Democratic Party of Germany, the NPD.
Since 2023, it's called Die Heimat.
Okay, so that is the party to which Sasha belongs.
He is a member of their executive board.
It is an ethno-nationalist identitarian party.
So I'm going to ask you this, going back to the consequences.
So that is, You know, we know that the media makes out some parties to be the extreme right, as they would fashion them as being.
And it's not always true.
But I would ask you this, with regard to the AFD.
How will they rise to meet any challenges?
Are there any good for people who share our unique concerns on this radio program, your unique concerns?
Will there be any good that comes from the AFD having this very strong finish, even if they are not identitarian or ethno-nationalist?
Or do they represent something that will be better for Germany than what has existed there for the past many years, decades?
To put it in a nutshell, will it be a situation where the more things change, the more they stay the same?
Currently, it will work out, unfortunately, that things will stay the same.
Nevertheless, the AFD has more power for pressure, for pressuring the government now.
And as I described before, that they would have needed 5% more for parliamentary inquiry committees.
There have been in the recent months also some federal elections in federal states, and then in the eastern part of Germany.
And there the AFD has its most successful strongholds.
And there they skipped over this threshold.
So for example, in the Parliament of Saxonia, there will be installed such a parliamentary inquiry regarding the pandemic management, for example.
So the success of the AFD is a.
It will, because of that firewall.
It will be a red-pilling moment because people witness that they don't receive what they have voted for.
People voted for a center-right government here in Germany.
The people voted it.
The strongest party was the, the Center Party, and and and the and on the second place it was the AFD, and what they they will get is a coalition of the center party with the former chancellor's party, which was extremely devastated in in this election, and that's in the first place.
The first place finisher and anyone other than the second place finisher get to form a coalition government, but the second place finisher, the AFD, doesn't really get to be involved.
Now, that doesn't sound very fair, does it, Keith?
Yeah, go ahead.
They don't cooperate in any terms with the AFD.
And the people saw, for example, we had elections in Brandenburg, in Thuringia, and in Saxonia, in the federal states, where they nearly could win the elections.
And in one federal state, they have won.
Like in Austria, the AFD had won the election and nevertheless are in the opposition.
role, and that's a red-pilling moment for a lot of people.
Regarding the, the quality or the, the non-quality of the of democracy which is more a democratia or a democracy here in Germany and and given the fact that they nevertheless have doubled their votes, they can, they can make more pressure, and that's a situation in.
In situations of that kind have the potential to being effective in politicizing a society.
And I think that's a process we will witness.
And even if I'm not a member of the AFT, but from a more ethno-identitarian party, it's of course of huge interest because in Germany in huge parts the tipping point in demographic terms is already reached and a change is urgently needed.
And the AFD is now perhaps in its most decisive phase.
And it's understandable that the AFT is trying to gain government responsibility.
And this opportunity could the next month or year or two years itself present in so far as it is not unlikely that the new coalition will not be sustainable due to having numerous breaking points.
However, in that situation the AFD must not forget that the establishment was voted out of office.
What do I want to say with that?
I mean AFD voters voted for a change in policy and did not, I want to pronounce that, did not wait a vote for adaptation.
So it would therefore be a huge strategic mistake in my eyes to enter into a coalition with the center party under the leadership of Friedrich Mertz, the firewall chairman of the center party, provided a failure of the next coalition.
It would then be better, provided the coalition will fail, it would then be better to become even stronger by letting the establishment crash furthermore,
or to change the country, or to force the center party, if their coalition will not be sustainable, to force the center party and the pressure from the grassroots of the center party to exchange their leadership, to make this as a prerequisite for a coalition when the coalition with the established parties fails.
For example, we have seen the phenomenon of Donald Trump was completely changing the Republican Party from a neocon liberalist party to a MAGA party.
And they had outstretched the hand and then as a response they received the Cordon Sanitaire.
If now the Centre Party and the Social Democrats will fail, then they should not jump into the bed with the center party.
They should make pressure to the center party, exchanging their leadership.
Because we have to see that within the center party there is also a division between the officials in the high-ranking officials of the leadership and the grassroots members of that center party.
A huge part of the basis of the center party would prefer a coalition with the AFD instead of the Social Democrats.
And that's a change which is very important.
And I think a very good example gave us in Austria, Herbert Kikel, who not at any cost made a coalition with the center party if it was only for the favor of the establishment.
And that was The Freedom Party of Austria made in the history the mistake just to being a coalition partner, a junior partner, giving up positions or being confident with ministries which are less important.
And Kikli made it.
He had won the election.
He said, no.
Then make your failure.
You will be responsible for the failure.
You will have to report before the nation if you crash, if you run against the wall.
And I think that is maybe in that terms.
The AFT is in its most decisive phase.
And they shouldn't make the mistake if the Social Democrats and Center Party fail to say, okay, we have been waiting for that.
Now you can misuse us, to say it in that terms.
It should make pressure because the voters voted for a change and not for adaptation.
Sasha, music.
Indeed, what a fantastic.
I mean, you stuck the landing on that one, brother.
Coming in to a halt on your commentary right as the music picked up.
When we come back, don't go anywhere.
We are only halfway through this trip to Germany with Sasha Rosmühl.
We're going to talk a little bit more about the elections, a lot more about what's going on in Europe, and Sasha's thoughts on Trump.
Stay tuned.

News this hour from townhall.com.
I'm Jason Walker.
President Trump placing 25% tariffs on all imports from Mexico and Canada that will go into full effect in April after two months of various suspensions.
Then a lower 10% charge on oil and other energy products from Canada.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that President Trump's tariffs are simply aimed at making sure other nations pay what they force the United States to pay.
This keeps getting characterized as a hostile move against our allies.
These are global tariffs on steel, on aluminum, on autos, on semiconductors.
Eventually, the president stated this.
And then a global, in April, the intention to put tariffs, assuming that the study comes back and so forth.
But what they've discussed is a global reciprocal tariff.
Understand what that means.
That means basically whatever some country charges us, that's what we're going to charge them.
Also at townhall.com, the Trump administration Friday moving to dismiss lawsuits against Iowa and Oklahoma for their immigration laws.
Here's Bernie Bennett.
The lawsuits have been through the Biden administration's Department of Justice to challenge laws enacted last year that make it a state crime for someone to be within the state's borders if they're in the U.S. illegally.
Republican governors and lawmakers across the country had accused then-President Joe Biden of failing to enforce federal immigration law and manage the southern border.
In response, Iowa and Oklahoma enacted similar laws last year, following in Texas's footsteps.
All three immigration laws have been on hold while courts consider whether they unconstitutionally usurp federal immigration authority.
Bernie Bennett reporting.
British Prime Minister Kier Starmer urging Russian leader Vladimir Putin to sign a ceasefire in its war against Ukraine if he is serious about peace.
Starmer says the Kremlin's dithering and delay over President Trump's ceasefire proposal and Russia's continued barbaric attacks on Ukraine don't work.

Hi, this is Rhett Rasmussen of BestHotGrill.com.
We make the Soler infrared grills, which are unique among gas grills.
We designed Soler from the ground up to optimize the performance of the Soler infrared burner.
What is infrared?
The Soler infrared burner efficiently uses natural gas or propane, creating up to 15,000 tiny flames to heat the ceramic plate, which radiates the red-hot intense heat directly to your food.
Conventional gas grills heat the air inside the grill, which dries out the food.
The direct Soler infrared energy locks in the juices for a more natural tasting, succulent, and flavorful food.
Die Hard charcoal grillers agree that Soler infrared is as close to the white hot intensity and taste they get from their charcoal fire, but with the convenience and controllability of gas.
Soler is truly the last grill you'll ever buy.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are halfway through our march around the world tonight.
Still two weeks to go and a lot of stops still to make.
We have been all over the map so far.
More than half a dozen nations and I think we're up to three or four continents now.
I think four.
We're going to hit five, I think, before it's all over.
We are going to go later tonight to Ireland with Jim Dawson.
Also later in the third hour with Remy Tremblay in Canada, back to Canada, but to French Canada.
So it's a little different than where we were at two weeks ago with Paul Fromm.
We actually had a South African farmer who was scheduled to be on the program tonight, but the farm got damaged overnight.
So we're going to have to reschedule that.
But nevertheless, I marveled during the first half hour tonight with Sasha Rossmuller the level of analysis that he's delivering on what's going on in Germany, particularly with regards to the election and the fact that he's doing it in English, Keith.
I'd like to see us speak German that well, although I have been there and I was there and it is postcard beautiful.
I was there on this little town on the Rhine where Martin Luther was tried.
Many now, centuries ago, but uh nevertheless Sasha, one more very quick question on the elections and then we got to get to topics that pertaining to broader Europe uh and, and your thoughts on Trump and uh your, your recent projects, your forthcoming book uh, but I got a two-part question.
I'll ask the first part and then Keith's going to ask the second part, but my the question is this, and we'll move as quickly as we can, uh with regard to the AFD uh, leaving out what we things that we wish they were doing, what are they doing that the establishment is so upset about, uh that they are freezing them out of the coalition?
Keith, you asked the second part of the question.
Well, the second part is, I have the impression I think a lot of people over here have the impression that the main issue that was driving the success of the AFD in this last election was immigration.
Is there any prospect under the current government of there being a change in immigration policy in Germany?
Yeah, the the main topic is, uh, is immigration uh here in Germany, and uh, that's why uh, we have on the one side, we have the in from the parliamentary uh represented parties.
We have the AFD, which wanna wants to to stop uh the immigration and has also started to talk about, uh the indeed urgent remigration and all the others are the the, the welcome, the welcome, uh Cosmopolitan multicultural, uh melting pot, uh gender lunacy, uh climate, uh hallucination, uh representatives,
And despite, as in many other countries, facing a housing crisis and around about half a million homeless people, mostly Germans, we suffer uncontrolled mass immigration.
And since 2015, if we take that year when Angela Merkel opened the border, Germany has been sliding even further and even fostered down the slippery slope of uncontrolled asylum immigration.
And it have been around nearly three million asylum applications submitted since then.
then, almost exclusively by asylum seekers who had previously crossed the border irregularly.
Do you think the AFD and I I don't mean to interrupt you, my friend, but I I do want to move on to some of your thoughts on broader Europe, but with regards to immigration, do you think the AFD, if they could, would help on that issue?
Would they repatriate, like Trump is doing, or would they just try to slow down immigration?
Now I I, I think if they would have uh, if they would be in the government, or if they would have their respective weight in a government uh, then I think they would uh, they would be, they would be serious in that point.
However, let me come shortly to one uh pretty controversial point.
I think uh that from a German ethnic identitarian perspective, uh where in many regions the demographic tipping point has nearly been reached, We are at the point maybe rethinking even state unity.
To preserve the ethnic continuity, East Germany, I mean the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, would therefore be well advised to pull the ripcord if nothing changes the next years in face of the great replacement.
It's very controversial talking about the secession, maybe not to southerners like you.
However, I see it that sign that if you remember the slogan of 1989 when the wall was teared down, the slogan was, we are the fork.
And I think with the same slogan, we are the fork.
Maybe in some years, if no change will take part, we have to discuss even the reversal of the reunification.
And at the beginning of this show, Keith mentioned it.
For long stretches of its history, the German nation has also lacked state unity and was a patchwork of small principalities.
But it was nevertheless able, precisely in that during that times, to blossom, making Germany that is known as a Kulturnazion, the cultural nation.
So maybe if there won't be any change within the next four, five, or at least 10 years, it is crucial to concentrate on the essentials.
And that is not the form of the state, but the folks who run the state.
All right.
Back to the future.
Yeah, I hope so.
I hope so, especially for Germany.
Now, because I think if the people think they're voting the right way, this is something Nick Griffin always talks about.
The people think they're voting right.
And there are, I'm sure, things that are better about the AFD than some of these alternatives, even if they're not, you know, as good as the party that you involve yourself in.
And we'll talk a little bit more about that before the end of the hour.
But we do need to pick up the pace a little bit.
I am so glad, though, that you provided that comprehensive analysis of what has been going on in these elections, which again, all the eyes of the world, our world at least, our universe, was on Germany very recently as a result of these elections and the AFD and Elon Musk and all of that, the way the media treats them.
I mean, of course, I don't get too excited about the way the media refers to people who are a millimeter right of center of Joe Stalin.
And I'm not saying that the AFD isn't a lot more than that, but everybody a millimeter to the right of Stalin is a neo-Nazi and an extremist.
So I don't get too high or too low on those terms, but I appreciate you, Sasha, for coming on and giving us the real deal and just nailing it tonight in that commentary.
So let's talk again.
I want to give you time to plug your book.
The work you're doing with the Homeland Political Party there at the very end of the hour.
And we've got a lot of stuff to cover before we get there and time is beginning to run out.
Let's talk about this.
Germany, Brussels, of course, Brussels is where the EU is located.
Also, our friends Philip DeWinter and Aka van der Merch, they're in Brussels.
But Brussels stands on Ukraine and Syria.
You wanted to talk about that?
Yes.
We see huge differences right now.
While, for example, the United States and Russia are already sitting at the table negotiating, Brussels and Berlin are still mobilizing, both on credit with debt policy.
For example, the EU Commission wants to mobilize 800 billion euros by granting military loans to member states, which can also be used for arms purchases for Ukraine.
And To this end, how could it be otherwise?
The so-called European Investment Union is to be driven forward.
With other words, the EU's deep integration continues to force upon us.
As Winston Churchill once said, never let a good crisis go west.
And as it is well known, Germany knows how to add to any EU madness.
The outgoing parliament organized a special session at short notice for the purpose of adopting special funds, new debts that will allow the government to become even more indebted.
So Germany and Europe are running up debts in the Brussels, typically whatever it takes, tradition, while the USA does the business.
To cut a long story short, debt for Germany, raw materials for the USA.
And last but not least, it's from the perspective of the Europeans and propaganda, according to my opinion that lacks credibility.
On the one hand, they don't get illegal and criminal asylum seekers out of German and European cities, but on the other hand, they hallucinate about being able to drive the Russians out of eastern Ukraine and with the current queer reindeer armies here in Europe.
That's absolutely, absolutely ridiculous.
However, that's a point which will not work out.
What I fear most is that we will see that after the Trump victory, George Soros and a lot of NGOs are refocusing more and more on Europe.
And we see a lot of regime change operations in Europe.
Since long, they tried to work against Orbán in Hungary.
However, if we see what's going on in Serbia, or if we see what's going on in...
It began before in Asia, in Georgia.
If we see what's going on with protests in Slovakia, or if we see in Romania that Carlin Georgioscu is not allowed to run as the winner in the first round for the presidential election.
And if I'm informed correctly, they also decided Diana Sosoaka, I hope I didn't butcher her name, they didn't allow her to run as well.
I was talking to a parliamentarian of the Romanian parliament, Comrade Tudor Ionescu, a few days ago.
What's going on here is really, really problematic.
They try at all costs to hold at least Europe on this post-modern left liberalist vogue insanity and try to let that look like some grassroots protests.
But on the contrary, how do you call it in English terms?
It's astroturfed, astroturfed projects of NGOs, so-called non-governmental organizations fully subsidized by governments.
Drop the in.
It's just governmental organizations.
What do you think about Trump moving the troops out of Germany to Hungary?
U.S. troops.
We will see how it will work out regarding that.
For example, I was discussing with this Romanian parliamentarian if maybe one cause that they don't want to allow Karlin Giorgesko to run is due to the fact that there are in the last years many, many military bases of the USA in Romania.
So I'm not sure how everything there will work out.
I think that will depend, largely depend on the negotiations around Ukraine, how the Trump administration will decide its military policy.
If it will make a focus on doing business in eastern parts of Europe or having the focus more on military policy.
I lack the crystal ball for this.
Of course, peace in Europe carries, in my opinion, enormous weight.
What role long-term conflict preparations with China and Iran may play in that concern remains to be seen.
It would, of course, devalue a peace agreement in Europe if otherwise Trump would contribute to conflicts in other regions or igniting a powder gag in the Arab world, resulting in refugee flows to Europe then.
So I think it's a little bit too early for a final conclusion.
Nevertheless, I hope that Trump and Putin will come to terms to end that war that is ongoing here in Europe.
This is a perfect segue into something I wanted to ask you.
And in asking you this next question, I actually don't know, as well as we know one another, we actually haven't talked about this yet, off the air or through our text messaging or whatever.
So I'll be interested to see where you go with this.
But your answer will be coming from that of a German nationalist.
Not just a nationalist, but a German nationalist.
And I think German nationalist and southern nationalist are the two most hated of all nationalist folk.
I mean, you know, we have something in common with Germany and being portrayed as history's great villains.
And it's, of course, none of it true, although Germany gets it much worse than we do.
You still see Confederate flags dotting all of the Southland on a daily basis, particularly the rural areas, whereas, you know, people like Sasha, unfortunately, would be going to prison if they didn't recite the catechism of World War II history as it has been taught to us.
So your opinion on this, Sasha, I mean, we've been asking everybody this that's come on since Trump's inauguration, but I'm particularly interested to hear your thoughts on Trump and how you would assess and grade his administration through these first couple of months.
It's a perfect example that actions speak louder than words.
And I appreciate his anti-wogue agenda.
I think he has learned from this first term and from this experiences with the lawfare against him.
And I appreciate ending gender lunacy, including mutilations of minors.
And I really appreciate his department of government efficiency.
And I closely observed his address at the Congress.
And that was very, very professional choreographed.
That was really an impressing event.
And It was part two of his after this assassination attempt.
It was part two of his program, Fight, Fight, Fight.
He really spoke hard against the Democrats.
That's very interesting.
And I think why people not just voted for Trump and provided him that landslide victory, but I think that they are still backing him is you don't hear long explanations from Trump with references to these and those constraints as to why something can't be done.
He takes action and simply does it.
And that's a point interesting to learn also for us to realize what's the expectation of the people.
The people want to see results.
They don't want to have explanations regarding administrational issues and red tape.
And a second point from the overall perspective is that which gives hope is that Trump is a proof that a turnaround is possible.
So that are a few points and aspects of relevance that are quite interesting.
Nevertheless, there is also a flip side of the coin which me upsets, which is the it's in times it's an unbelievable philosemitic attitude.
And the problem with this is that I fear if he, as I've said, if he it's it's important.
I'm here in Europe.
I don't want to have a war here in Europe.
So it really weighs a lot to become an end to that war.
However, igniting a powder gag in the Arab world, what does that mean?
The consequences of that would be resulting in refugee flows to Europe.
And the, yeah, for example, the Gaza expulsion for maybe, I don't know, Jared Kushner's Middle East real estate dreams or whatever, or what's going on.
We will see how the administration will behave in Syria.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
I just want to be sure to give you time with the hour beginning to really disappear now to give you time to work in a word of your book.
But I think what you've said, I mean, yes, what you've said has been, I think the overall take of about 80% of the people that we regularly are in contact with and almost 100% of the people we've actually had on the show since January.
There is a vocal minority of our friends who can't see any good that Trump is doing.
But I certainly, your assessment falls certainly parallel and congruent to the way Keith and I see it.
We are giving him praise.
There are some concerns there.
What we have said about this really is like if you're trying to launch a career as a boxer, you don't want your first battle to be with Mike Tyson.
Okay.
So that's a good question.
Well, Paul gave him a pass.
Paul Craig Roberts also has said that, Keith, is that he wants to get done what he can get done.
He wouldn't have gotten done anything if he had battled you know who right out of the gate.
He would have just been regulated to the sidelines and that would have been that.
So Sasha, again, going back to what I said before, to hear you praising Trump with that one exception that we all know and we all see, coming from a German nationalist From the former MPD from now the Homeland Party is that that carries weight with me.
Now, let's talk about this very quickly.
You are a journalist.
You are a politically active journalist.
Now, all of the so-called journalists here in America are politically active too.
They just pretend that they're a journalist.
You actually say you're politically active, but you're active on the right side, which certainly separates you from them.
And you have been engaged in politics since you were old enough to drive.
And perhaps even before that, you're on the executive board of the homeland political party there in Germany.
You write for a wonderful print magazine that I've had the honor of being featured in.
And you are working on a new book.
So, with two or three minutes remaining, the floor is yours, my friend.
Plug that book.
What is this project and what's it going to cover?
And how can people get it when it is available?
First of all, this magazine has developed.
It has merged with another magazine.
It's the Deutsche Stimme.
It's now Aufgebach, Awaken, and German Voice.
We had made progress by a merging process.
And indeed, I'm working on a book.
It will be, I try to publish it in bilingual, German, and the English version.
And it's, I write regarding the Occidental culture with perspective of its identity forming potential.
And it will be also a little bit of a personal.
The aim of that book is to give the reader or young nationalists not always having a view in our history on the battles and on the wars and on the bloodshed, but on the aesthetic of the occidental history.
And to make to wrap up, to give an overview, be it in literature, be it in music, be it in architecture, be it in painting or in sculptures, from the early ancient times,
From the Hellenic and then the Roman, and then do the Gothic, the Baroque, the Romance time, the classical times, realism, impersonalism, and to give an overview, always from the perspective of the ethno-nationalist with comprising all Europe, to compare these ages and different artworks and to tell the people what was.
similar between German and English painters in that time.
and in one part of this book also to explain it on my favorites from some epochs or from some literature or from some paintings, what are my favorites and why that are my favorites and why I think they are very important for identity forming and what's the variety of our occidental culture for Europe and what are the common roots of this culture we can find it.
in that, all framed with some elaborations in a philosophical term of what art should be, what's the effectiveness of art, how to understand or why aesthetics are important.
And I think that hasn't been written yet from the perspective of our ethno-editarian ranks, such an historical overview from all of our culture, especially in particular focusing the combination of aesthetics and identity.
And that's what I have made, is the target of that book.
And I think within the next two or three months, I will have the German version and immediately then I will take the translation works for the English version.
Coming very soon, folks.
And when this book is available in English, we will let you know all about it.

Sasha, you were always an incredible guest.
I think this is your best appearance yet.
You just get like a fine German wine, just better every year.
And I thank you for staying up late in Bavaria, 1 a.m. now.
We're going to head back to more Western Europe.
We're going to go to Ireland with Jim Dawson next, where it's still just midnight.
