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.
All right, welcome back.
We're going to get Eddie the Bombardier Miller back on with us in just a moment.
Eddie, am I correct, Eddie?
You're taking a quick time out?
Oh, you are good to go.
Well, why'd you give the mic to Keith?
Eddie's having a little bit of a, I don't know how to describe it here.
Okay, everybody.
All right.
Well, okay.
Well, then let's give it back to Eddie then, Keith, for a minute.
If he's back in.
Okay.
What's going on?
The show must go on.
This is kind of like, in case people don't know what's going on, I just came out of having a run of what they call paroximal superior tachycardia.
And I'm kind of a veteran at that.
I used to, when I first started having this, it would just freak me out.
I think I was going to die.
But you know what?
The weird thing about this, runners are really highly susceptible to this, especially high-level runners.
Which you are.
I'm a marathon man if there ever was.
But you know what?
And this, I'll say one more thing.
Enough about me after this comment.
We did, James, I don't know if you remember or not, but we did a broadcast one time when I was at Bethesda's North, I see you.
And I remember you and Danny came to see me.
Y'all turned around.
Y'all were on a trip.
You almost had a heart attack at WLRM that one night.
Yeah, in the lobby.
It was big time.
It was rough.
Does start bleeding, all that kind of stuff.
But, you know, I'd just like to say again, there's nothing.
Charlottesville, I know we could talk about the Klan when they were like with Washington, D.C., when they were at Chicago.
All hell broke loose there.
But there's something different about Charlottesville.
I think that probably, and you correct me if I'm wrong with this, all the powers that be, all the demons of hell, the federal governments, even the state governments.
I mean, what could be more southern than the birthplace of the home place of Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jefferson?
You know, for that to be taken over by the godless hordes, people that hate our guts, at the time, when Washington, D.C., in Chicago, and the Klan was marching and all that stuff, at the time, you'll correct me if I'm wrong, Keith and James, but they didn't have the entire apparatus of the state governments against our people there.
Now, in Charlottesville, I mean, Virginia, for God's sakes, the cradle of the Confederacy, it's gone over to totally Antifa and communists and Bolshevik, and they hate us.
So that's what we were rating.
And I don't know.
I'm optimistic in a way.
In a way, I'm not.
But what do you think about that?
Well, no, I mean, I see what you're saying.
And then again, one thing that was brought up is the fact, well, I think we may have brought this up during the break.
I want to get into that broadcast.
I think between your testimony, what we've heard from Rich, what we've heard from Padrick, and of course, people already know what happened that day.
But I think we've covered that again tonight.
And I wanted to recover that.
Now, we will have a little bit of a reprise a little bit later this hour with Gene Andrews.
But I do want to move on to the broadcast itself that night before we go.
Another difference between J6, and Keith pretty well nailed it a little bit, but you had every, you had Trump supporters of every kind.
I mean, you probably, you have every, you know, the so-called colours of the rainbow that were that were covering, that were supporting Trump.
The people that were attacking the J Sixers hated Trump.
You know, that's what, and I'm not really a fan of Trump.
But that said, here's the thing: the people that are attacked, the difference between J Six and Charlottesville, and Keith pretty well talked about this.
Charlottesville, the people where we went, we were basically all white, mostly Christian.
And we were defending white culture.
We were defending our right to live.
I mean, to live.
As opposed to Jay Sixers that were there to support Trump.
That's the difference.
And I think, it's my opinion, there was more hatred on display for the white people in Charlottesville.
Yeah, well, there's no doubt.
Well, and that's why they got treated differently afterwards, too.
We're going to toss it to Keith.
And I just want to say one more thing about that.
And this may have happened with some J Sixers, too, but I know what happened in Charlottesville.
Well, the first part is similar.
I mean, in both cases, but we're talking about Charlottesville right now, so let's keep our focus there.
But the MTF took every photograph, every piece of video that was taken from any phone, anywhere at all that day, and they used facial recognition software to identify everybody who was there and get them fired from jobs, get them thrown out of college.
I know personally a professor who has never been on this radio program, a professor who had a sterling reputation who was fired as a result of him being there to defend the monument of an American hero, Robert E. Lee.
I mean, this is the man who even Eisenhower had his portrait in the Oval Office.
So this was a righteous and just cause being there to defend the memory of that man.
And then people were so devastated by losing their livelihoods in some cases.
You had people in Charlottesville who were there at Unite the Right afterwards commit suicide as a result of all of this torment and torture.
And there needs to be a retribution for that.
There needs to be a price paid for that by the people who engaged in that sort of terrorism.
And I'm talking, of course, about legal prison sentences and things like that.
But anyway.
The point I'd like to make is that I contrast everything to the civil rights movement.
In the civil rights movement, you had the federal government going against the state governments of like Mississippi and Alabama and Tennessee, and also some local governments too, like the government of Oxford, Mississippi.
What happened in both Charlottesville and January the 6th is that the combined force of all the government, the federal government, the state government, and the local government came down against white people, not protesters.
Believe me, protesters were treated with kid gloves in the civil rights movement compared to the way protesters were treated at Charlottesville and at January the 6th.
They basically wanted to squash us like a June bug and make sure that we weren't coming back.
You know, if you want to see how badly protesters can be treated, don't go to Selma.
Don't go to Birmingham.
Don't go to Oxford, Mississippi.
Go to Charlottesville and go to Washington, D.C. That's the point.
That's the point, Keith.
You know what?
And to add to that, back in the day when the key used to point you just made, Keith, when we were just, we were only against the feds, the federal government, the federal Lafayette.
And in the day, it was time, there was a Faubus was the governor of Arkansas who resisted segregation with all of his might.
We had a white Christian white people, a person who loved his race, who was governor of Arkansas.
Same thing in Alabama, George Wallace.
I don't remember who was it, Ross Barnett, was the Mississippi.
See, we had the states on our side in Charlottesville, and now we don't.
Well, what's really important is to remember that right after the Civil War, the posse comitatus was passed in 1877.
That was a necessity for southerners coming back into full participation with the government of the nation.
And people like Orville Faubus and Ross Barnett and George Wallace raised posse comitatus when the Kennedy administration and the Johnson administration used the National Guard and the U.S. military as a police force against American citizens.
Remember back in, remember what happened in Little Rock with Orville Faubus?
You know, you had the 101st airborne sticking bayonets into the back, prodding little white girls trying to go to school, trying to herd them in.
And this was totally different from everything that, you know, what the law should have been.
Nobody mentioned it.
It never got mentioned by the mainstream media.
But, you know, everything, you know, posse comitatus was violated against the protesters here.
You know, the protesters had the federal government, the state government, and the local government using their combined police force power against them to prevent them from protesting.
And it very nearly succeeded.
But because of people like the protesters at Charlottesville and January the 6th, and the fact that we now have alternative media, we don't rely on the three ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS cartel to give us all our news.
That's how we turned the tide.
All right.
All that historical perspective is very important, but let's refocus now again on the day itself.
So I think we've pretty much worked through you traveling to Charlottesville, Eddie, over the course of tonight's three hours.
You have to listen to the entire show to get the full panorama.
That morning, fighting through the onslaught to get there, fighting through it to get out.
But you did eventually get out and make it back to the campground where you were staying.
And this was the evening of August the 12th, 2017.
Of course, remember, our show that night was raw.
It was live.
I mean, we're always live, unrehearsed and uncensored, but this was taking place when people were still, you know, literally literally trying to process this.
I mean, this is as close as you can get to real-time reporting.
I mean, it was taking place just that whole ordeal happened in the early afternoon.
We were on the air at 6 o'clock that night.
All right.
And I'm back there.
And you can listen, by the way, to that entire three-hour show in our broadcast archives.
Go back to the, well, obviously, August 12th, 2017 show in the archive.
And the description reads, hosts James Edwards and Keith Alexander anchor tonight's special presentation from the studio and listen to reports live from the field at the United Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Eddie Miller spends the entire show on the scene breaking down the event with eyewitness correspondents and invited guests who were also there and eager to share their unique perspectives.
So again, we had some of the regular TPC guests on to offer their perspectives in alternating segments.
Michael Hill, obviously.
Hendrik Palmgren, who was there, David Duke, who was there, Brad Griffin, who was there, Simon Roche, who was there.
But then there was you, every other segment, Eddie, with people that were just coming on, just people who had never been on the radio before, didn't have their own organizations, weren't seasoned guests.
And you were bringing these people on, and it was the most incredibly compelling radio I have ever heard.
Hearing these and mostly very young people that you were interviewing, hearing them tell the story of what happened, how they were being attacked, how they were dodging these projectiles.
I mean, it's all there in the archives for people to listen to.
How were you choosing which people to bring on that night in the half of the show that you were commanding?
I guess just an instinct, observing people, their effect, their emotional status, and some for their age.
There was one kid, I don't think he's much over 16 years old.
I could barely, I can remember.
I was listening to some of it earlier today in preparation for tonight, and I was going back for the first time in years listening to that.
We talk about it often, but I haven't actually gone back and listened to large segments of it in a long time.
I was listening to some of those segments you did with these kids.
I was gobsmacked.
You can see the fear, the incredible trauma in some of their eyes.
Of course, I wouldn't get somebody who was just totally having a psychological meltdown.
But I was getting those people the way they could give the most value.
I figured, for instance, this kid, I was telling you about it, 16, 18 years old, 18 tops.
I'll say 17 plus remotes a year.
Him and his other teenage friends, they were telling me, they came on the radio and they were telling us about, I put them on the mic, and they were telling us about how they were trying to get out of the park.
One of their friends, one of their compadres, tripped on the step.
It was about a four-foot drop at one spot, coming out of the park.
They tripped.
Well, the cops proceed to beat this teenage kid.
Beat him.
This is one of the kids who suffered the beatdown.
This is the cops, not just the antifoles, but the cops.
Beating the teenagers.
We put him on the mic.
Some of the guys wanted to come on.
Some of the guys voiced their opinion.
They would like to come on.
I mean, keep in mind, James is right.
These people are coming in fresh off the street.
And I call it the combat.
But you could tell they were still shaking.
I mean, these were people that had no radio experience, and we wanted that raw, authentic, you know, that's what you were there for, is to capture that.
But never could have expected that it would be captured so perfectly that I think just anybody listening to that show could have just heard that emotion in their voice.
And it's all eyewitness.
I mean, this isn't something that, well, I heard about it from a guy who heard about it.
These were the people who were fresh off the streets.
And everything that we broadcast that night, thanks to you being there.
I mean, we could have called some of the people there that we knew, but you were talking to people who were actually just there in the middle of it too and did such a great job.
It ran 100% contrary to the official narrative.
I'm going to read two official narratives here.
This is the opening paragraph on the United States.
These people I were interviewing, like you said, who said it was that they heard it from somebody who heard it, somebody who heard it.
I was grabbing these people that looked like they were still shaking up a little bit because the people, this was an eyewitness account of history of a similar event that happened in the history of this country right here, an attack against white Christian people.
But that's why, James, I was trying to get as close to the actual beatdown in real time as I could possibly get.
Andy, I'm not trying to be outlandish here because I know that there's not a real comparison.
I mean, you know, when I say you were in Vietnam and you were at Charlottesville, I mean, Vietnam, you could have gotten hurt in Charlottesville for sure, and people did.
No doubt.
Vietnam, though, I mean, you're fighting a well-trained enemy army.
They're shooting at you.
There are bombs.
There's explosions.
You're a grenade.
All of it.
Gas.
All of it.
I mean, Vietnam was a true war.
But you didn't have to worry about our company commander backstabbing us and hitting us in the head, though.
Okay, but see, I was just going to ask you.
I mean, I can't say, you know, compare the two as if they're comparable.
But, I mean, you do seem, you know, to talk a lot.
I mean, I know there's a reason why you can't talk about Vietnam on a very personal level, but just the trauma from that.
But you do talk about Charlottesville a lot.
You know, were there any similarities that you could say without trying to, you know, say that one, you know, is equatable to the other?
But, I mean, was there any, as a guy that's been to Vietnam, how would you say Charlottesville reminded you of it in any way?
I would say, in a way, chemically, and Keith alluded to it about an hour and a half ago when I went into this run of SVT.
Just for our listening, you always will know, SVT, proximal superintendent of Kakycaria.
I'm still a little bit, my mouth's still not working that great.
It's what for no reason, no rhyme or reason, your heart starts beating and it's very fast-freaked.
And it's caused by, you know, I'm not a cardiologist.
Keith's son is, but it's caused from, you know, the electrical signal going awry, sometimes by too much adrenaline, too much renin in your bloodstream.
Yes.
Now, under any circumstance, whether it be Charlottesville, where it be the streets of Richmond Avenue, Mississippi Boulevard, when I was 11 years old, being chased by a pack of feral blacks or being in Vietnam, the chemistry is pretty much the same.
Fear, raw fear.
In Charlottesville, though, it was just incredible excitement.
I've never had, I haven't had, God help me, I haven't had a day that exciting since then.
And I guess that's in some ways it's kind of addictive, but it was traumatic.
As far as race of the Vietnam, I guess it was tension.
I didn't have the fear in Charlottesville.
Right.
I mean, in that way, it's obviously not relatable.
But you know what?
By God, there was real danger.
People were getting hit in the head with steel pipes.
People were getting hit in the head.
Flamethrower.
Improvised flamethrowers.
People were getting arrested.
People were getting beat down.
Rich Hamlin could have been killed.
He's not a young guy.
I didn't know this.
Gene Andrews, the guy who comes on both of our programs, I think he had a damn up replacement.
What, two weeks after he came back to Charlottesville?
There's a guy out there, 70 years old, Barth Real, needing a bad hip.
And this heat, too.
I mean, you know, let's not sleep on the heat in August in the South.
Well, let me read this.
I'm going to bring Keith back in on this because this is something he brought up during one of the breaks.
These are the official narratives.
Now, again, the eyewitness testimony, the truth that we broadcast that night on August the 12th of 2017 that you can find in our archive still that have been heavily cited.
And Wilson Smith's book, Charlottesville Untold Inside Unite the Right.
You and that broadcast are cited many times throughout this book, which I'm holding it in my hand.
We'll mention that in a minute.
This is the official narrative.
This is the official opening paragraph on the Unite the Rights Wikipedia entry.
And it reads this.
The Unite the Right rally was a white supremacist rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia from August 11th to 12th, 2017.
Marchers included neo-Confederates, neo-fascists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and far-right militias.
So the entire thing there basically just reads white supremacists, neo-fascists, neo-Confederate, neo-Nazi Klansmen.
That's the whole article.
So you see where that's going.
And then the AI overview of the Unite the Right reads this.
The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia took place on August 11th of the 12th, 2017.
The 11th event was the torchlight Tiki March thing, and we didn't have people there at that.
I mean, we knew people there, but Eddie wasn't there.
It was a white supremacist rally that drew various far-right groups.
The event became infamous due to the violence that erupted, including a car attack that resulted in injuries and one death.
Well, yes, there was violence that erupted, but why did it erupt?
Yes, there was a man who drove his car into people, but why did that happen?
They completely and very conveniently leave that off.
Keith, I know you wanted to comment on James Fields.
Okay.
Yeah, nobody wants to look at, you know, when you hear that Derek Chauvin needs to be pardoned, and I've read articles about that as recently as last week.
And we agree totally that James Chauvin, I mean, Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong, but James Field did nothing wrong either.
He was caught by a crowd of people that were actually blocking his path in a roadway.
He didn't go up on a sidewalk to go after these people.
He was blocked by Antifa people who basically, you know, if based on, you know, what they were using as weapons and whatnot, he could have been killed.
Yeah, he would have been killed.
So he did what he could to get out of there.
And that's back up and he backed up slowly.
This big fat woman, Heather Heyer, that just happened to have a heart attack at the same time.
They used her as, you know, just like they did George Floyd and people like this.
They turned these people into martyrs.
But these people were protesters who were up to no good and trying to kill somebody.
This guy was just trying to get the heck out of Dodge.
He was following his GPS on his car about how to get out, and it led him into this nest of antifa people that basically had, you know, blood on their hands and wanted to do him serious bodily harm.
I guarantee they would not have been disappointed.
They would have been elated had they killed him.
And he has been thrown in jail by a kangaroo court in Virginia, and he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail, and he is innocent.
Okay.
He is innocent of the wrongdoing.
And people have forgotten all about that.
Well, we never knew James Field, never talked to him, didn't know who he was.
I don't even know of anybody personally who knew him, but we know about him as a result of this reporting, and we know what happened that day.
And yes, when people are attacking your car, you are susceptible to panic and to doing what he did to try to get out of there in fear of his life.
I would imagine that is what happened.
Heather Heyer, you know, a heart attack wasn't brought about, you know, as a result of his driving or whatever.
I mean, he definitely hit some people.
But again, under the circumstances, you know, it's well, I mean, interestingly, back earlier this year, you even had the governor of Florida, you had sheriffs in Florida and others just say, hey, if people block the road, you know, you can run them over.
So, I mean, you know, people are saying that now.
But again, this is just another example of how far we've come since 2017 in some ways.
But yeah, I don't know Fields, don't know anybody that knows Fields, but I would say that he certainly, you know, it's plausible that he shouldn't be in prison, to say the least.
I think it was Jason Kessler.
I think that last week, I think he's the one that said, if you want to speculate whether they're going to kill James Fields or not, they had already busted some of the windows out, busting the windows out of his car.
They were going to pull that man out and kill him.
I've lived through things like that from South Bemis.
I can guarantee they're going to kill him.
Yeah, and what happened here at Charlottesville was a result of the whole government apparatus, federal government, state government, and local government lining up not with trying to keep order, but they were partisans for the left.
And the left, you know, basically everything, every decision that came down from the judiciary and the police force and whatnot in the Charlottesville incident or rally was, you know, anti-white, anti-traditionalist, anti-Southern, everything that you could imagine.
You know, they were totally against them.
And I've never seen anything.
I've never seen anything like this before.
Basically, you know, it is, Charlottesville is a little ivy-colored covered, ivy-covered-covered.

President Trump says he will not send U.S. troops to Ukraine.
White House correspondent Greg Kluxton has more.
At Monday's summit with Ukraine's president and European leaders, Donald Trump said the U.S. will help the European effort to secure Ukraine, and he did not rule out sending American troops.
That promise of support was praised by European and NATO leaders.
But during a Fox News interview on Tuesday, the president offered his assurances that U.S. forces won't be defending Ukraine's border.
Greg Klugston, Washington.
And three more Republican governors have authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to Washington.
Correspondent Ben Thomas has the update.
Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana are the latest states sending National Guard troops to the nation's capital.
Those states' Republican governors joining their counterparts in Ohio, West Virginia, and South Carolina in backing President Trump's show of force in Washington, aimed at cracking down on crime and boosting immigration enforcement.
The number of guard troops detailed to D.C. now totals more than 1,100.
About 800 troops had already been called up from the D.C. National Guard.

Hey, it's Mike Rohn.
If I have a choice, I like to do business with companies that actually stand for something.
That's why I switch from Verizon to Pure Talk.
No offense to Verizon.
I'm sure they stand for something.
I just don't know what it is.
PureTalk, on the other hand, is a veteran-owned company that supports our military in a big way, and I appreciate that.
Yeah, I also appreciate unlimited talk and text and plenty of data for half the cost of the big guys.
And I do like being on America's most dependable 5G network for just 20 bucks a month.
But what I really appreciate is no contract, no cancellation fees, and Pure Talk's commitment to handle all their customer service in this country.
I saw it from myself.
I went to Georgia, I got a tour of their headquarters, I met their CEO, and I talked to the same customer service folks that you'll talk to when you dial pound 250 and say keyword micro.
Switch today and say 50% off your first month when you dial pound 250 and say keyword micro, Pure Talk, a wireless company that actually stands for something.
It is common for politicians, major media outlets, and nonprofits to hype white on black murders aggressively, or even claim that blacks are living in fear of white people.
Lynch for simply being black.
Hard to believe, but that's what was done.
And some people still want to do that.
This is why National Conservative launched the Interracial Homicide Tracking Project.
We have now documented well over 2,000 confirmed interracial homicides since January 2023 and created the most comprehensive overview of these killings anyone has ever made.
We plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government crime stats.
Rather than engaging in hyperbole and vitriolic rhetoric like everyone else, we are simply creating a massive sample size of empirical evidence so people can form rational and informed opinions about a sensitive and politically charged issue.

Marxists are the sworn enemy of Western civilization.
Karl Marx crafted his communist ideology with the genocidal goal of destroying the European peoples.
Key concepts of communism are atheism and materialism, that God and spirit do not exist.
Germany was smashed at the end of World War II, and communism emerged triumphant.
By controlling the political system, courts, mass media, educational system, and entertainment industries, Marxists have imposed a tyrannical, top-down agenda of globalism and immoralization on the West.
The results are open borders, rampant crime, institutionalized corruption, sexual perversion, the destruction of the middle class, concentration of wealth, aimless youth with no purpose in life, and the hollowing out of Christianity.
But Kyle McDermott's book, The Declaration of White Independence, demonstrates how we can unshackle our people from the communist ideology and obliterate atheism and materialism.
The Declaration of White Independence is available at Dixie Republic.

Well, welcome back.
As we are turning the corner on the second of two special programs here on TPC last week, the full three hours with Eric Orwal of the Return to the Land community, and then tonight, three hours on Charlottesville with Andrew the Bombardier Miller back on TPC, along with Keith Alexander.
And yours truly, you've heard from Rich Hamblin tonight, Patrick Martin, both veterans of the Battle of Charlottesville.
Now, one more, our good friend and the caretaker of the Nathan Benford Forrest boyhood home himself.
He was also there that day.
Traveled with Eddie up there.
Gene Andrews is back to talk about that fateful day on August the 12th, 2017.
Gene, welcome back.
Well, thank you, Sarah.
See you and Eddie back together again.
They're getting a band together.
The Blues Brothers band is back together again.
Jake and Elwood.
Jake and Elwood.
We're on a mission from GAD.
With that Chicago accent.
Well, we don't have the Chicago accent that Balloon.
No, no, no.
But anyway, no, we are.
And well, go ahead.
I'm going to make you jealous.
I've been out on the mower cutting grass for the past two hours.
Finally, I got in the shade.
I'm sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch of General Forrest's Nathan Bedford Forrest home in Chapel Hill, Tennessee.
And we've got a flagpole about 15 yards away flying the 12-star Forrest Cavalry Corps flag.
So, how about that?
You know, Eddie, go ahead, Gene.
Good rest.
Yeah, no, a good place to rest.
Well, I listen, wow, I did not expect you to be at the forest home when we were doing this.
So, that is awesome.
Eddie came into the studio tonight all sweaty.
I mean, it's hard not to sweat in these dog days of summer that we got right now.
It's been about 110, 150% humidity.
Anyway, but very cool today.
Very cool that you are doing this one little short segment with us tonight from the porch of the Forest Boyhood Home.
I think in all the times we've had you on to talk about Forrest, I don't know if we've ever had you on while you were actually on the property.
So, this is an added treat.
Well, and let's make haste.
And thank you for sharing that with us.
Just about five or six minutes with you tonight.
But your Charlottesville story: what do you remember most about that day?
And what's the story you most want people to know?
Tell people to get a copy of Jason Kessler's book, Charlottesville: The Death of Free Speech.
And it goes into a lot of detail about the lying rat that was the mayor and that retarded dummy they had for a police chief and how they lied about security.
And not only did they lie about security, they actually helped the Antifa and the BLMers attack us.
And we got attacked.
We played it by the rules.
We got a permit to be at General Lee Park and speak out in defense of the Lee statue there at Lee Park.
Lee, a Virginian in Virginia, but it was in a college town.
That's where all the crazy wackos are, like Charlottesville, well, Nashville with Vanderbilt and Livescombe and TSU, Terminally Stupid University.
So, you know, you have to expect the crazies to just be there in force.
And they flat out lied.
And you talk about somebody that hated the government that afternoon and the police and the Virginia Highway Patrol.
If I could have called in an airstrike on them after we got out of there, I would have done it.
But they actually helped Antifa attack us.
They really did.
And once we got in, we had to fight our way into the park.
And then that crooked governor that they had, Terry McCullough, who was part of the Clinton crime syndicate, he said, well, the Commonwealth of Virginia has declared an emergency.
Your permit has been revoked.
You have two minutes to clear the area.
Well, that's when the Virginia Highway Patrol finally got their heads out of their rear ends and put on the Darth Vader helmets and their shields and literally pushed us out of the park and into that mob on Market Street.
And that's where a lot of people were hit and knocked down.
I know Rich Hamblin was.
And I was walking backwards.
And I had my Confederate flag on a pole, and I was using that as a spear to keep these.
The blacks were real brave after they could, when they could run up behind us and hit somebody from the blind side.
So I was using my flagpole as a spear to keep them away.
So I was walking backwards, and I've always regretted that because I didn't see Rich get hit and knocked down because I was looking in the opposite direction.
So, James, it was a setup job from the get-go to discredit conservative white people.
And the government was just as rotten as a barrel of snakes that day.
Well, Gene, I'd like to tell the people that are listening right now over TPC that I'll say the same thing I said about Rich.
I feel like, and I'm not trying to be theatrical, but I feel like I was smiled upon by God when I was able to get in that vehicle with men like you, Gene.
Gene, I've told people I don't know anybody else like you.
Getting in there with you, Matt, younger brother Matt Goodwin, Rich Hamblin, Simon Roach.
I mean, I will never forget that.
That was a great honor.
I have a photograph.
I've got in my, on the Blood River Radio's website, there's a photograph in there.
I need to get it downloaded and send you a copy in Gene, everybody wants.
Me, you, Simon, Rich, and Matt, we all stopped at a rest stop almost before we got through Cookville, Tennessee, where I was part, where y'all dropped me off.
Us brothers together, we bonded together.
I'll never forget that, Gene.
I'll always love you like a brother.
I would not trade what we went through together for anything in this earth, too.
But I'd like to see that.
Luckily, yeah, and I had the same emotions about y'all.
I mean, we were combat veterans.
And I'm not kidding you.
When we came up Market Street and they had all those TV trucks parked in one lane and we were forced down to one lane to get in there and the battle was going on up front, Matthew and the younger guys were fighting through the Antifas to get us into the park.
I'm not kidding you.
I got puckered up like combat in Vietnam.
That's what it was like.
I said, we are going into a combat situation here, except we didn't have M16s and M79 grenade launchers, and nobody had an M60 machine gun.
You know, I was asking.
Yeah.
Gene, I'm glad you brought that up.
I was asking Eddie, you know, what similarities, if any, was there between that and Vietnam, you know, recognizing that one was less likely to die for sure.
But still, it's interesting that you brought that up.
And interesting also what you said before about how the law enforcement acted, you know, when compared to the law enforcement of the South in the 1960s that are so villainized.
But I was thinking as you were speaking, Gene, about Drew Lackey, who, of course, we famously interviewed on this program, who had arrested Rosa Parks and was, you know, went on to become the chief of police in Montgomery during that time.
Exactly.
And you had the interview in Barnes Review.
I enjoyed reading that too.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Yes, the transcript of that.
Well, one of the things that stuck out is that, I mean, yes, eventually after the blacks got so unruly, they did have to use the fire hoses and the dogs to maintain peace.
But those Alabama, those white Alabama troopers were concerned about the safety of those blacks who they most certainly did not agree with.
I mean, you compare and contrast that to what y'all witnessed and experienced in Charlottesville.
I can remember one story Drew Lackey said on the air is that he went into this church with Ralph Abernathy and he said, you know, there are hundreds of armed white people waiting for you outside.
We cannot keep you safe and we want to keep you safe.
I'm going to have to ask that y'all cancel this march today.
And of course, you know, the blacks wouldn't have it.
And still, though, the troopers were able to maintain peace that day.
But, of course, that was their job.
And that's what they did, regardless of what side they ideologically were more in line with, which would then, of course, our side.
Complete contrast to what you and Eddie and Rich and everybody else completely a 180-degree turn on that.
They were working with the Antifas and the Black Lives Matter to do as much damage and hurt as many people, as many of our people, as they possibly could.
And they were in there from the get-go and the early part of the time we got to the park.
And we only had the permit was from 11 to 1.
And we never got that much time because once we got in there, we were dodging glass bottles full of nails and screws and bags of feces and urine.
And then that crazy black guy running around with that homemade flamethrower lit up aerosol can trying to burn people with that.
And they didn't do anything about it.
They just stood there with their heads stuck up their rear ends.
And, you know, they were under orders not to do anything.
And even though these people were breaking the law, they weren't going to, the cops there weren't going to do anything because they want their pension.
And they didn't want to do anything to jeopardize their pension.
So they just stood around until they decided they were going to push us out.
They hadn't done enough damage.
So they're going to push us out of the park.
And you had to jump down off of a four-foot wall to hit the sidewalk and then into Market Street.
And that's where people got split up and down different streets.
And that's where that boy's car was attacked.
And they were coming up to his car and busting out the rear window with axe handles.
And that's when he jammed it in reverse to get out of there.
And they said he hit that girl.
And that's what caused her to die of a heart attack.
But the initial coroner's report said she just died of a heart attack.
It didn't say anything about a blunt trauma getting hit by a car.
And it was hot that day.
I mean, hot and humid.
And my clothes were soaking wet from sweat.
And that gal was, if she was, she tipped the scales at about 350 or 400 pounds.
So I'm betting you.
Oh, yeah.
It looked like Orca the killer whale had come on shore.
So I'm sure that's what did it right there.
Hey, Gene, thank you for your eyewitness recollections.
Thank you for being part of this show.
Thank you for calling in the night from the forest home and God bless you for your work in preserving that historical site for one of the South's, heck, not one of, the South's greatest warrior.
We love you, Gene.
We'll talk to you again soon.
We're going straight back to Keith Alexander as we begin to wrap this whole program up tonight.
Thank you.

LibertyNewsRadio.com Well, this has been, like last week, a show three hours dedicated entirely to a singular topic.
And once again, it has been chalkful and more than we can get to.
Want to thank our special contributors tonight, Rich Hamlin, Patrick Martin, and Gene Andrews, veterans all, in more ways than one, but also of Charlottesville and Keith, of course, Eddie and Studio.
We are going to begin to wrap this thing up, but first we are going to toss it to Keith for some final observations, and then Eddie's got something very important he wants to say as well.
My final observation about Charlottesville and January the 6th compared to Selma, Birmingham, Little Rock, Memphis, and all of these civil rights protests of the civil rights era back in the 50s and 60s is compare the performance and the behavior of the police.
In the South, during the Civil Rights Movement, the police, even though they were on the side of the anti-protesters, made sure that everybody was treated fairly and they protected people.
They used water hoses.
Well, you know what?
That sure beats lead pipes, which is what was being used against the people in Charlottesville, things like that.
They had dogs, which muzzles and whatnot, trying to run the crowd back.
But again, they had policemen holding them on leashes.
They didn't just turn these dogs out loose on them.
So just remember what this is all about.
This is about police misbehavior and a government that is corrupt in Charlottesville and in Washington, D.C., that was out to get protesters.
Now, the protesters in the South were not treated the way that the Southerners, I mean, the black protesters were treated back during the Civil Rights Movement.
What this shows is that we do have two nations.
We have a nation of people that will do anything to win and a nation of people that believe in fair play and, you know, the Bill of Rights.
So consequently, this is another example of why secession may be necessary in America.
We do not share the values of people in Charlottesville.
The people in Shelbyville, we do share them, their values.
And those are the civilized Western civilization values that have governed us through most of our history as a nation.
So we've got to remember now that we have a bunch of lunatic leftists, Marxists, cultural Marxists, and communists and Antifa on the other side that don't think you have any rights whatsoever.
And this was demonstrated very explicitly with what happened in Charlottesville and in January the 6th.
So, you know, just compare that with what happened at Birmingham and Little Rock and Memphis and Montgomery, Alabama, Selma, Alabama.
This is the difference between civilization and a breakdown of civilization.
Keith, this is a great observation.
This again reminds me of something Drew Lackey told us.
He said, you know, the people that deserved that treatment were the blacks in the civil rights movement.
Drew Lackey said he personally witnessed blacks pulling down their pants and defecating in the yards of white homeowners.
And he said, if I'd have lived in any one of those houses, I'd have been coming out of there with a shotgun.
And so, you know, what was most remarkable about the violence that was in the South was how little of it there was from the people, how well-behaved the whites were, and law enforcement on down.
Well, Eddie, listen, folks, we're leaving a lot on the table tonight.
We could have gone another hour easy on this and still left some food on the table.
Eddie, there's something you want to say about Michael Hill, how that day started.
And I think it's very important as we wrap things up.
This is a perfect way to end the show.
You know, I think what would be if one symbol could stand out that would separate us people, white Christian people, that marched into Charlottesville that day for our heritage, for our people, just for a right to live, to be able to live in peace, was before we went into Charlottesville, Michael Hill, who was the head of honcho of the League of the South that time, he was our leader.
He said a prayer, a very sincere prayer from the heart, because they suspected more so than I did, I guess, that it was going to be very violent.
But the symbolism is we, Michael Hill, and we participated in, we're all Christians, and we appealed to the God, God Almighty, as Christians.
And we went into Charlottesville, we conducted ourselves, not as meek men, but as Christian warriors, but we did not get out of line.
And contrast that with the other side, James and Keith, and TPC family.
The other side, I dare say, probably not said a prayer in the past 15 years.
To make it short, to time it up to tie it up, you saw it illustrated as clearly as possible that good versus evil, Christ versus Satan.
And I'll go back to what I said again.
I think it may be Ephesians.
I know it's a scripture of the Holy Bible.
It goes something like this.
We fight not against flesh and blood, but against the spirit of evil in high places, against the powers and principalities, against the workers of darkness.
That's what you saw.
That's what you see now.
And I would just like to add this.
People, we may have a temporary spite.
Things were going our way.
People started to get discouraged to stand up.
But in the end, I think we're going to have to have an ethnostate to get along.
But what's what you saw?
We can't live with those people without control in some kind of way.
That's right.
It'd be better just to be apart, which is, of course, what the whole thing is about.
But going back to the 60s.
But, all right, you mentioned Michael Hill, and he was on the show.
Well, he's been on the show so many times.
I mean, he is a regular regular.
But he was on the show one Saturday night, the day after he testified in the Charlottesville civil trial where so many people were further ruined.
And I told him, and I'll say again, I have never seen a man conduct himself with more honor than he did on trial that day.
A lot of people that were there have defected.
They've either withdrawn completely or are actively collaborating and informing the other side.
You know, we've seen that.
I know some people who have done that.
Michael Hill, and I listened to that.
You could call in to the courtroom and listen on a phone line everything that was happening in the court.
And I listened to every moment of that civil trial.
So I heard everybody testify from Richard Spencer to Jason Kessler, and some did better than others, and some did terribly.
Kessler did well.
Nobody did better than Michael Hill.
They would say, did you ever say this?
And it was supposed to be some gotcha comment about Jews or blacks.
And he said, yes, I did say that.
I believed it then and I believed it now and I believe it now.
And he would just, that was his answer to every question.
He just owned everything.
You mentioned honor.
That's another one of the attributes and virtues we have, that they hate our enemies.
They hate goodness.
They hate honor.
They hate honor.
They hate loyalty.
They hate family.
They hate life.
They hate everything that is good and decent.
Evil.
And I'll say again about one thing that I heard in that courtroom, and he's been on the show a couple of times, too.
I don't know what he's doing now.
But Chris Cantwell was already in prison at the time, and he had to serve as his own lawyer.
They withheld all information, and he acted in a superhuman way.
I've never seen any attorney operate more brilliantly.
And he wasn't even an attorney.
And I listened to this whole thing when he was cross-examining these, you know, these antifund, these people that were there to ruin all these folks.
Just amazing.
It was an amazing thing.
We have some amazing people in our ranks.
If you want to know what really happened there, you want the truth, go back to the TPC Broadcast Archives, August 12, 2017.
Three good books about it.
The one we mentioned earlier tonight, Patrick Martin's Walk in the Park, My Charlottesville story, also available through Shotwell Publishing, and Wilson Smith's Charlottesville Untold.
The back cover reads, Most Americans used to think of Charlottesville as the seat of the historic, graceful University of Virginia with Thomas Jefferson's fascinating home nearby.
But since August 12, 2017, Charlottesville, for most people, invokes the idea of a violent, deadly white supremacist riot.
That is what we've been told by the media and the politicians.
We are in a time when BLM and Antifa engage in violence that the media calls peaceful protest and politicians allow it to go unpunished.
At a time when a walk through the Capitol building is called an insurrection.
Perhaps the time has come for sober minds to take another look at the Charlottesville story.
That is what is thoroughly researched in this book based on dozens of interviews of people who were actually there.
If this author's finding or any indication of what actually happened at Charlottesville, the narrative sold to the American people and the world at large turns out to be less than an honest and impartial appraisal of the known facts.
You are heavily cited in this book, Eddie, and I don't mean just once, but several times throughout as a result of that broadcast we did.
And there's a QR code to links to the TPC broadcast, and that is in this book.
Jason Kessler probably wrote the most authoritative and definitive book on the matter.
He actually launched that book at the TPC 20th Anniversary Conference last year is when it was first made available for several of the public.
Jason's sale page appears to be down right now, but those are the three books.
Jason's book, of course, Patrick Martin and Anne Wilson Smith, daughter of the incredible former professor of history at South Carolina, University of South Carolina, Dr. Clyde Wilson, who has also been to our events.
And remarkable family.
Remarkable story.
Remarkable friends.
Eddie, it is great to be back with you tonight.
It's surreal.
And I know the music is coming up, and there it is now.
Well, thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for tonight.
Thank you, Keith Alexander.
And thanks again to Patrick, to Rich, to Gene.
So many others we could add on, but I just wanted to keep it cozy tonight and keep it in the family.
But those three books, if Charlottesville is of interest to you, and it should be, is where you need to go.
And, well, I'm James Edwards.
We'll be back with you next week.
Kevin McDonald will be on to talk about a brand new book that is going to be released next Friday.
We will have him on first interview he's giving about this the very next day.
He'll be on.
We're going to talk to Christine Lynn.
You've got to start wearing our helmets when she comes up.
