You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, going 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 back.
I am joined now via telephone by Keith Alexander the Great.
Keith, sorry we couldn't be in studio together tonight, but I am happy nevertheless to have you by the phone for an hour because there is a situation at foot, an ever-evolving situation in play right now that is very fluid.
And, brother, it was tailor-made for you and I, people who have been doing this radio program together for so many years, and native southerners and people with secession in our hearts and our very blood and genes.
Great to have you tonight, my friend.
How are you?
Doing great.
I can't wait to get into this.
Well, here's the situation.
It is, as Brad Griffin writes at Occidental Descent, it's like Reconstruction, but in reverse.
And boy, are we not loving this?
The Democratic governors and the leading proponents of the Democratic Party are crying now for states' rights.
They are the biggest proponents of states' rights ever.
At least, well, maybe not ever, but certainly right now, this is, I guess, in response to the latest developments where Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has called up these hundreds of soldiers in California to go into Oregon and from other places to go into Illinois.
And the blue states don't want to give their guardsmen, their state guards, to in service to maintaining law and order in Democratic strongholds like Portland and Chicago and elsewhere.
So this is where we're at.
First of all, let's just talk about the delicious irony in all of this.
These very same ideologues loved the idea of state guards, the National Guards, state guards being nationalized, federalized, and being used to break the law in southern states back in the 1960s.
Now they don't even want them to be used to enforce the laws in American states and cities.
Well, where was this devotion to states' rights and this non-interventionist approach back in the 50s and 60s?
For example, in Little Rock, where the 101st Airborne was deployed in Little Rock, Arkansas by President Dwight Eisenhower to force the integration of Central High School in Arkansas.
I still remember those pictures on the television of soldiers with bayonets on the ends of their guns prodding little white children, particularly girls, forcing them to go to school at Central High School against their will, basically.
So that was one instance, one very big instance, you know, that we had this posse comicatis law that was passed basically right at the end of Reconstruction at the insistence of southerners that said that the U.S. military cannot be used as a police force, but there is an exception to that based on the so-called Insurrection Act.
And that's apparently what Blind Eisenhower was trying to depend on, although none of that was discussed at all in the news back in the, I think it was 1957 when the Little Rock integration debacle happened.
And none of that was discussed at all.
It was just assumed that the president had the power and there wasn't anything that the governor Oliver Falvis of Arkansas or later on at Ole Miss when James Meredith integrated Old Miss in 1962.
Ross Barnett was the governor of Mississippi.
None of their arguments were ever made public in the newscast that you got from Douglas Grinkley and people of that sort at the time.
So you're changing how the warm has turned.
My friend, you don't even, I mean, I don't want to say you don't even know the half of it, but I'm going to read some statements here.
This is just going to knock your socks off.
But it is true.
I remember the, now, of course, you know, of course, everybody knows DPC's interview with Drew Lackey, but one of the sheriffs in Dallas County, which is where Selma was, of course, Drew Lackey was the chief of police in Montgomery.
But just about an hour down the road at Selma, that's Dallas County, Alabama, it was the sheriff there who said he never thought they'd be able to get away with it.
He never thought that the general public would buy something that was so far removed from the truth.
And that being, of course, that the blacks were, you know, peaceful protesters just trying to have equal rights and not just this terrible precursor or forerunner to the Black Lives Matter as we knew it back a few years ago with all their rioting and looting and arson and whatnot.
But, you know, a big difference now is, and the media probably would have gotten away with it again in recent years had it not been for the advent of social media and all these people all over the country and indeed the world spreading the actual images and the footage of what these people were all about.
I only wish our ancestors in the 60s and 50s could have had that luxury.
But you had a very controlled press.
As we know, the cameras didn't start rolling until the dogs and the fire hoses were released.
And why were they released?
Well, you know why, but a lot of people outside of the South didn't know why and the rest is history.
But now everything is turning on its head.
Listen to this, Keith.
I mean, I can't even, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton.
This is what she posted on Twitter or X, if you will, just this week.
I can't believe it.
If states' rights mean anything, she writes, they must include the right not to get invaded by another state in peacetime.
Americans everywhere speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon.
Do you want to respond to Hillary, Keith?
Well, her hypocrisy is stupefying, really.
You know, I'm sure that she and Bill at the time back in 57 at Little Rock and 62 in Oxford were big proponents of the federal government stepping in under court order.
And, of course, the courts were used because the courts, the federal courts are the least democratic, the least responsive to the public will of any of the three branches of the government.
They used that on purpose because they knew that people generally did not want this.
And if they were put to a vote in Congress, racial integration of the public schools, for example, would have been voted down.
But they, you know, again, who was behind it?
Jewish power and influence.
That's who financed and masterminded the civil rights movement, got all the money to people like Martin Luther King to keep them in the fight.
All of this was, you know, it's incredible how they can just change shapes, you know, and change their positions with no sense at all of, you know, consistency with the positions that they've taken before.
No one ever suggested on the left that there was anything extra legal or possibly wrong legally about the use of the military to enforce desegregation orders.
But on the other hand, now they've taken 180-degree position and say that, you know, of course, the states have the right to resist the federal government.
All right.
Well, listen to this.
And then this gets down to the governors.
You've mentioned Orville Faulbus and George Wallace and the others in the South.
Ross Barnett.
Ross Barnett, yes.
Still got that great lake that everybody likes to go boating on down near Jackson.
It's north of Jackson, so it's wider.
It's down in Madison, Mississippi, the Ross Barnett Reservoir.
Beautiful, beautiful area down there in Mississippi, named after him.
Great segregationist governor.
But here are what the current governors are saying in these blue states.
Governor J.B. Pritzker in Illinois, this morning, the Trump administration's Department of War gave me an ultimatum.
Call up your troops or we will.
It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a governor send military troops within our own borders against our will.
Well, again, it has to be repeated that what the federal government was doing during the Kennedy administration and even before that was in violation of the state law in the South.
They were violating the state law in the Southern states.
All Trump is doing is trying to enforce the laws, both federal and state.
Actually, let's skip this break if we can.
I don't want to interrupt this particular train of thought.
If you don't mind, Liz, let's skip this break.
Now, let's do that.
And let me just say this in regards to this.
Can we skip this break, Liz?
Okay, yeah, there it is.
Thank you.
Thank you, Liz.
Well, I was just going to say, they were violating state law.
Here, I mean, unless Oregon and Illinois and California has passed a law that says leftists are immune to arson laws and terrorizing law enforcement and border patrol personnel, then all Trump's doing is basically trying to, frankly, help out.
But then you've got, again, I'll just read this again.
The governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, this morning, the Trump administration's Department of War gave me an ultimatum.
Call up your troops or we will.
It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a governor send military troops within our borders and against our will.
I say often, I am all for what is good for our people.
And sometimes, depending on the situation and the context and the circumstances, I can have different opinions.
In the 60s, for instance, I was absolutely opposed to the guard being sent in to the southern states here.
I'm absolutely for it.
What is the consistency?
As I always have to say, it's good for our people.
There is a substantial degree of hypocrisy, though, in double standards coming from the left.
And so, of course, that's nothing new.
Gavin Newsom here: states cannot invade one another, Governor Newsom of California.
This is so simple, so fundamental to America.
I cannot believe I have to type these words.
America is on the brink of martial law.
Well, I hope so.
I hope he's right about that last part.
Keith, well, another difference between the civil rights era and the use of federal troops to enforce new laws back then, things that were 180 degrees opposite of what the standard law and customs of the people had been up to that point, such as public school racial integration.
What Trump is trying to do is enforce laws that have been on the books since the beginning of time, basically, since the beginning of our republic, against murder, against arson, against mayhem and property destruction, things like that.
He's using the police and he's using the military as a backup to the police for the purposes that police forces were always created for, which is to prevent crime and to arrest criminals.
But today, what happened in the civil rights movement was they were basically changing the world, changing the rules and forcing it down everyone's throat at the point of a bayonet, for example, at Little Rock High School.
So, this is delicious irony for me to see this.
And anybody that is opposed to enforcing the law, the well-established law against murder, arson, mayhem, things like this, has shown themselves basically to be the enemy of the people.
The idea that they do not want to have criminals punished for that type of behavior is, you know, it's consistent with their defuncted police approach, for example, to law enforcement and George Soros prosecutors, which you have even in Memphis, Tennessee, for example.
We have a guy that, you know, is a kind of catch and release guy as a district attorney.
But we have got to understand that what Trump is doing is not an innovation.
What they were doing during the Civil Rights Movement was a total departure from custom and the norm at the time.
This gets back, I got to say, this gets back and really reinforces David Zuddy's position from the previous hour, inso much as it is not entirely Jews that are a problem when it comes to issues such as this.
Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, as far as I know, they're Gentiles.
They're white Gentiles.
They're white leftist Gentiles.
I mean, we have to oppose them.
There is no peace with people like that.
And then it goes without saying.
People like the mayor of Chicago, what is his name?
Brandon Johnson.
I'm looking at this clip here, Keith, of Brandon Johnson and then the people, presumably in his administration, flanking him from behind as he gives this press conference.
And I see a black woman, some sort of Middle Eastern-looking brown man, what looks to be a Hispanic woman, and then a fat black woman with a hook in her nose, a gold hook in her nose.
It looks like a bull.
And then you have the mayor of Chicago.
Now, obviously, there can be no peace with that side of the left as well, but that's the non-white left as opposed to the white Gentile left, as opposed to the Jewish left that sort of oversees it all.
But here in Chicago, or up in Chicago, I should say, the mayor has signed an order creating ICE-free zones.
So he's banning ICE agents from staging raids on illegal aliens.
And this is open encroachment on the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution.
So we will see what happens.
But I mean, yes, I mean, rolling the guards.
I mean, you really need, Trump really does need to look into the Insurrection Act.
I mean, he's got to go a little bit further than what he's doing.
He's certainly gone further than any other president in my lifetime, though, I think.
But, you know, you got a big problem with these areas.
And unless it gets fixed, I mean, we are still only nine months into this administration.
He's got another year, the midterms.
These are popular issues, though.
So this is the thing.
Normally, our issues are not popular with Republican voters or with conservative voters.
Now our issues are sort of like the driving force in the Trump administration.
And so I don't know if he doesn't double down on this, but I think it would play well for them in the midterms.
There's some wind in the sails for our issues for the first time in a long time.
And maybe, you know, certainly in my lifetime.
So anyway, this is what's going on in Illinois, in California, in Oregon, from the governor down to the mayors of these cities.
This is where we're at with regards.
And now, you know, everybody from Hillary Clinton on down is a big proponent of states' rights.
I mean, it just defies, it just baffles you.
Well, you know, you're right.
There are a lot of white people that are the enemy.
And how did they get to be that way?
Well, I can tell you that in the South, losing every battle, every skirmish with a federal court system that basically was the enemy of the people down here at the time resulted in a situation, a mindset kind of like Stockholm syndrome.
A lot of white people said, look, I'll say and do anything, just stop beating me.
Okay.
And that's what was happening.
Very good arguments were being made by the segregationists back in the 50s and 60s, and they were totally and completely ignored.
You had news media that wouldn't even mention what they were.
So consequently, they sold the public generally that was not involved.
For example, if you're in, let's say, Iowa or Nebraska or Nevada, you didn't have a big black population.
So it was real easy to buy the idea that white people in the South were just these mean-spirited, bad people who were denying black people, who, after all, are just like white people, they thought, except they have darker complexions.
That, you know, they were being victimized by white people.
And it developed a kind of Stockholm syndrome in some people, and that exists today.
For example, in California, if you want to have any social status or credibility, you cannot be a person that is opposed to enforcement of laws against black people.
And black people are, unfortunately, the majority of violent crime emanates from the black community.
I think they said the black young men under 30 are like 3% of the population, and they account for over 50% of the crime, violent crime.
And a lot of people are resistant to that lesson, but that's just facts.
And I think that Trump, I don't know if he stumbled upon it or if this was a, you know, very intelligent scheme set up by people like Steve Miller or whatnot.
This is a winner who, if you're not for enforcing the law, then you're not a law-abiding citizen.
And that's what the left has shown themselves to be.
They're the enemies of law and order.
Well, here again, and that is the left across racial lines.
The white left, yes, there are the majority of Americans, I've always said this, they're going to go along with whatever side is winning.
That's human nature.
It's not good.
It's not bad.
It's not good.
It is what it is.
But there are just hardcore leftist ideologues who are lost to us, whites who are lost to us.
And we don't need them in an ethnostate.
We don't need them in whatever comes next.
And the fact that those people exist is the reason why we need to think about secession again.
Because quite frankly, I don't think law and order people, good citizens like you and I, I don't want to be in the same nation with a bunch of people who think like Gavin Newsom.
Well, here's the thing about secession is, though, if you control or if your man is in control of power, you want to cut them out, maybe, or let them leave.
But it's a different, well, you know, right now, I'm in favor of the central government crushing our enemies.
If we were on the other side, I would be in favor of secession.
I mean, of course I'm a secessionist at heart.
I'm a southerner.
But right now with Trump, I want to try to press our advantage and punish these people and see what happens.
I mean, Stephen Miller said it here.
You just mentioned his name.
Stephen Miller said if National Guardsmen were sent to Dothan, Alabama, they'd be greeted with a cup of coffee by the local citizens.
So it's again, in Chicago, it's a lot of blacks.
In Portland, Oregon, it's a lot of white leftists.
But it's the liberals that are the problem here in the left, the left in general, whether they be black, white, obviously Jews.
Brad Griffin writes about this.
I'm still a secessionist.
I still support a national divorce.
It's my preferred option.
But maybe this time it would be them that goes.
Yeah, let them go.
And if they decide that they want to be, if they conclude that, you know, population calculus is in favor of conservatism and Trump and they don't want to be a part of that nation, we'll say, don't let the door hit you in the ass when you leave.
Well, rather than fighting them.
Again, what Brad says here, and I think this is interesting to consider, at least at the moment.
And again, things could change a year from now, two years from now.
And if it does, we will amend our positions and our standing on any given question in that moment through which lens is it good for our people.
But Brad writes right now, if there was a Civil War II today or some sort of conflict similar to it, we would be the ones on the union side, meaning so much as, you know, it's sort of our side now that is.
But then on the other hand, unlike the union side, we're not interested in forcing our will upon them.
If they want to leave, go in peace.
Well, that, you know, if it gets to that, we'll see what, you know, this is so hypothetical.
But I mean, just say, you know, the southern states, though, were in favor of the sitting administration.
So it's not like, you know, during our ancestors' time where they were all opposed to the Lincoln administration.
Right now, all of the southern states and the white southerners, the descendants of the Confederate veterans are in favor of Donald Trump.
And so our people, white southerners, are in favor of the administration right now.
Big difference than what it was in 1861.
Well, there's another X factor that we haven't identified we might as well talk about that would be opposed to secession.
The people that would be opposed to secession realize that if America were split in two, it would be half as populous, half as wealthy, and less likely to want to be involved in foreign wars.
We wouldn't be this gargantuan empire with unlimited resources that could help certain people, such as Jewish power and influence, impose their will upon others.
All right, hold on.
Those people are not going to want secession.
They're going to be the people secretly fighting it.
We will be right back.

Breaking news at Town Hall, I'm Bomb Agnew in Washington.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says some legal analysis suggests furloughed federal workers who can't work during the shutdown may not have to get back pay after the shutdown's over.
There are some legal analysts who are saying that that may not be appropriate or necessary in terms of the law requiring that back pay be provided.
So I'm sure that'll be a, there will be a lot of discussion about that.
Johnson says, with a nation hobbled by trillions in debt, it's hard to understand why the Democrats have shut down the government over their goal of spending another $1.5 trillion on health care for illegal immigrants.
President Trump, like Republicans across Virginia and elsewhere, is calling for Democrat State Attorney General candidate Jay Jones to quit the race.
That's after the publication of private text messages from 2022 suggesting a political opponent gets, quote, two bullets to the head, Senator Tom Cotton.
It seems like at the time, he just has had something of a psychotic break or a mental breakdown with reality, and he probably needs help.
But what he doesn't need to be is the chief law enforcement officer for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Nearly two years after the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel and Israel's ensuing pursuit of Hamas in Gaza, the two sides are talking once again, in direct talks, over a U.S. proposed peace plan that's drawn international support.
Military affairs analyst Lieutenant Colonel Robert McGinnis.
I think the October 7th, 2023 attack into southern Israel that left 1,200 Israelis dead and 250 or so taken captive.
And we lived out the last two years of the trauma that's associated with that.
Clearly, the Israelis have taken this to heart.
They've upgraded their military, and of course, they responded in Gaza.

Interesting conversation with Keith Alexander this hour about states' rights, secession, and how things are a little bit different than the last time this topic was seriously being talked about on a national level, as it is now, with Hillary Clinton and all these Democratic governors and mayors clamoring.
advocating for states' rights.
It really beats just about all I've ever seen.
Keith, you, as we have mentioned, are not in the studio tonight, and so you've missed out on this glorious tub of mail that we have that has come in since last week's broadcast.
And we read them all, ladies and gentlemen.
We can't read all of them on the radio, but there are a few, and we sort of just pull these out of the hat.
But I just want to read a couple of these as we are now on the heels of our third quarter fundraiser.
And what a success that was offering Kevin McDonald's third edition of The Culture of Critique, autographed copies.
Here's a few of the pieces that have come in this week, Keith.
Dear TPC, let us pray the horror of the last few weeks have finally awakened a sleeping giant.
This contribution is in honor of Charlie Kirk and Irena Zarudska.
Let us never forget what was done to them and by whom.
That comes from a listener in Beaumont, Texas.
Dear James, my apologies for running late for your fundraiser.
Let me just stop you right there.
No apologies needed.
We are so thankful for everyone who contributed to anything at all during the last quarter, the last month, the last year, the last 10 years, 20 years.
We're thankful for you all.
But this listener in California writes, TPC is never to be taken for granted.
I wish I had mailed it sooner.
A quick story.
I drive a lot.
I was in San Francisco to see a show at a famous theater.
Over 2,000 white people were there, all normal, heterosexual as well.
It was a night to remember.
And he sent me a picture, Keith, of him at this auditorium in San Francisco.
It was proof to me that we can win by sticking together.
It was a techno-pop band, but I like them.
I never miss an episode of TPC.
And that is from Tom in California.
And then last year, William writes, James, I look forward to reading Culture of Critique third edition.
Keep up the good work.
Well, William and everyone, if you donated at the level to trigger this gift incentive, they are en route.
And last week I posted on the website that they were all en route.
However, we have received more orders into the first week of October.
And by that, I mean, if you sent something on the deadline, September 30th, of course, it takes a couple of days or even up to a week with the USPS these days to get to us here in Memphis.
So some of them have not been mailed out yet.
And matter of fact, we've run out.
And so we are waiting for more.
Antelope Pill, the publisher, has to ship them from Pennsylvania to Idaho, where Kevin McDonald lives.
He signs them and then he ships them from Idaho down to Memphis.
So that's what we have to do to get these signed copies.
And I'm thankful for all of these moving parts, the publisher, the author working together with us to get them to you.
And so there is a little bit of a hitch there in our giddy up in order to, we can't just send them out because we had a bigger response than even we anticipated on this one.
Well, with Kevin McDonald's sound copies of Culture of Critique, we should have expected a bigger response than normal, but we are working feverishly to get them out.
They are going out every day.
Okay, so that having been said, let's get back to the topic at hand, Keith, and that is where we stand as Southerners with regards to the question of secession today.
Not two years ago when Biden was in office, not in 1861 when Abraham Lincoln was in office, but where we stand on it today.
Here again, Brad Griffin providing some interesting food for thought.
And he writes, the truth is that Southern white evangelical Protestants are the MAGA base.
Again, that is fundamentally different than what you had in the 1860s.
They are the base of the sitting president, and they have achieved, we have achieved a level of unity among us that is, you know, really in some ways almost unprecedented in American political history.
Brad really drives it home with this observation.
Class politics doesn't really exist in the American South.
White evangelical Protestants who attend church on a weekly basis, regardless of their socioeconomic status, voted over 90% for Trump in the 2024 election.
So I think there you just have it very clearly, Keith, the differences in the attitudes of white Southerners with regards to secession based upon the president now and the president then and even the president last year.
I think a lot of people in the South and everywhere think that the idea of secession is just an interesting historical footnote.
It's not.
We've basically, from the very days of the founding of our nation, been basically two people.
There were a lot of people in the South and in the West that were very suspicious and leery of the motives of the New England clique that was really primarily pushing for one nation.
We need to understand that, you know, there is a fundamental difference in outlook and psyche and everything that keeps popping up.
Doesn't matter.
Hey, and because of that, we're, you know, it's inevitable that we're basically, but we're like the story of little Black Sambo, remember, going around the tree.
We're all going nowhere together right now.
We've got the same fissure between conservatism and liberalism, north and south, whatnot.
The interior west is part of the south, really.
It's someone said, you know, the interior west is the south without a race problem because they don't have a large number of blacks.
But in here to that, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Well, I was just going to say, I was just going to say very quickly, and that is just to, again, it is a rare and unique phenomenon that we find ourselves in right now.
The data suggests that around 85% of white evangelical Protestants and anywhere between 60 and 82 percent, again, regardless of economic level, were in favor of the president, but it was almost monolithic support in the white rural South.
But in the South, he won the white working class, the white middle class, the white upper class men and women.
I mean, he swept everything.
And so, again, secession does beat in our heart.
But if you have a rare and perhaps limited window of opportunity to use state power to advance white interest, white southern interest, white interest at large, you know, why not see if something can happen there?
We could always go back to the other position if that is, in fact, our best interest.
But, I mean, even at Dixie Republic, as you know, Keith, you've been there.
Half of the Dixie Republic stores Trump merchandise because that's where the Southern people are right now.
Well, I think, you know, the only problem that I have with white Southern evangelicals is this strange pro-Zionist, pro-Jewish, blessed, he who curses Israel is cursed.
But without the resources of all of the United States of America with having only half of it, I think we'd be much less likely to get involved in foreign wars.
And that's where the rub is.
There are very influential groups that don't want to give up that big piggy bank that the United States of America represents to them, the industrial complex, things like that.
They want to, you know, military-industrial complex needs wars to make money.
And we also have a lot of people that want to use our military and our people and our wealth to serve their purposes.
And that's where the real opposition to secession will be.
You know, Southerners, unlike New Englanders during the American Civil War, don't want to force other people to knuckle under to them.
We're just like Bretta Garbo.
We want to be left alone.
And the only way I think that secession would even be a possibility is if it was the idea of our enemies, of the left.
Well, and they've never really had any appetite for it.
And they're not really even talking about it now.
They're just opposing what Trump's trying to do, probably trying to wait it out.
And typically that's been a winning strategy for them.
I don't see, I don't see, I don't believe that the left or California or Illinois or any of these other states are going to secede.
There's been even no rumors of that.
If they find out that they really are the minority that we think they are, in other words, if they are prevented from regaining control of the government through electoral fraud, I think they may be thinking about it.
But, you know, on the other hand, they will lie, cheat, and steal to get their way.
They've proven that many times before.
The Voting Rights Act of 65 was basically passed to allow proxy voting on behalf of Republican black voters.
If they continue to dwindle as a competing party, that is a big if.
If they continue to lose seats in the midterms and on into the next presidential election cycle and forward, then maybe, maybe, but certainly not right now are they considering it.
However, we can consider it.
You are.
We'll be right back.

I'm going to give Keith a final word on this whole topic right now about the left's about face with regards to states' rights and just the current trends as they exist right now.
But first, I'm just going to read three or four more notes that have come in from our listening audience.
These are handwritten.
I mean, these are beautiful.
And Keith, we'll let you respond to these as well because, again, though we can't read them all, when we read any of them, they are representative of the entire audience.
And we are so thankful for our collective here at TPC and everybody who tunes in and everybody who supports us prayerfully, financially, and otherwise.
Mike in Virginia, he never misses a quarter.
Mike writes on September the 30th.
Dear James and Keith, always a pleasure, always a privilege to support your work.
We're gaining momentum and let's keep the ball moving forward.
Enjoy the fall season and blessings to you and your family.
I do agree, Keith, that the momentum is going our way.
Thank you, Mike.
Here again from Tim in South Carolina.
Hello, James.
Thank you again for inviting me and my wife to the Will to Power conference back in late May.
It was great to meet you, your family, Keith, and many other wonderful people in person.
I was also fortunate enough to meet and talk with Dr. Kevin McDonald.
He was very friendly and graciously signed four books that he's authored.
Thank you for the opportunity to receive an autographed copy of the updated culture of critique.
I'm very happy to contribute to your most important radio program.
And Tim, we are so thankful to receive your most generous support.
And indeed, this copy of Kevin's latest masterpiece is in the mail to you and your wife.
Keith, just a quick word to Tim in South Carolina, who was at our conference in South Carolina.
His wife was there.
He was attending his first TPC conference.
He loved it.
We loved it.
We love him.
And he loves our group here.
Look, our supporters are a cross-section of America geographically, but they all share one thing, abundant common sense.
And that's linked to it is they're appalled by what is happening in the left, which gets us back to the topic that we were talking about before this last break.
The left seems to be doubling down on stupid.
You know, how do they react to the rise of Trump?
Do they try to move to the right?
Never.
It's like the old Saturday Night Live skit, more Cowbell all the time.
They're going to elect a socialist, hard leftist to be the mayor of New York.
They have hard leftists in the governor's mansion in California and in Illinois.
And they're making it where it's impossible to find middle ground.
That's, you know, one of the ways that is manifesting itself is in this government shutdown.
They will not compromise on anything.
It's always, but they're getting more and more extreme with every passing day.
Here is another.
We actually had one contribution that came in from the Bronx, the Bronx New York, and he just signed his note, Keith Alexander fan.
And Frank, that's you.
And we're going to get a signed copy of Kevin's book up to you as well in the Bronx.
From the Bronx to Hollywood and a lot of places in between, we have people tuned in to TPC.
This comes from a listener in Oklahoma who had the opportunity to meet at a Patriot Front event that I spoke at earlier this year with David Duke.
And Mark writes: Dear James and everyone at TPC, thank you so much for your hard work as network media recedes into oblivion.
TPC gets better and better.
Thank you for your help with the release of the third edition of Culture of Critique.
Well, Mark, you are welcome, and it was such a great privilege to be able to shake your hand and meet you for the first time earlier this year.
From West Virginia, the hills of West Virginia, no less, Keith, this listener writes, I hope all is well with you and yours in the beautiful land of Tennessee.
I've been watching events unfold across the nation and have been impressed with the rapidity of change in attitudes among our people with the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as well as the brutal slaughter of Irina Zaruska in Charlotte.
My heart breaks for these dear people in our sad country.
But I pray that God will use these shocking public murders to awaken our people from the sleep of racial death and civilizational decline that is underway in the U.S., Canada, Britain, Europe, and around the world.
I have enclosed a contribution to support your continued efforts to awaken our people to the serious situation before us.
Please send me the book, The Culture of Critique, by Dr. Kevin McDonald.
His intellectual output has truly been a gift from above for this generation.
I pray its influence will continue to grow and make a difference for our nation and people.
Keep up the good work, James.
Remember, Galatians 6:9, let us not be weary and well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
That is a great letter, Keith.
That letter right there, this is why I wanted to read some of the feedback tonight, is because they put it better than we can.
When you serve an audience whose capabilities and intelligence and everything about them exceeds your own, you are in a very privileged position.
And for us to serve this audience, people who can write letters like that, thank you so much.
That is something I love.
It is a God-fearing audience.
Not everybody, but it is a good, morally sound and decent audience we've got here.
They are the best among us.
Well, that letter checked all the boxes.
I don't think I could have said it better.
I don't think you could have said it better than what our listener said there.
And that's the type of people that are attracted to our show because we, like them, know what is going on.
We have common sense.
It's not an endangered species here at this political cesspool.
And we've got Trump represents kind of our last chance to avoid going down the path of totalitarianism, leftist totalitarianism, like befell the Russian people.
I really hope and pray every day that Trump is going to continue to hold line on these things.
I think that sending the National Guard into these cities to reduce crime is a perfect stratagem to use because, you know, who could be opposed to law and order?
Well, we're finding out who can be opposed to law and order.
It shows the inherent evil that resides in the heart of leftists.
One more note.
This was actually a three-page handwritten letter from a listener in Kempton, Pennsylvania.
But I'll just read the opening paragraph.
And if you're listening tonight in Kempton, I'm going to send you a very thoughtful reply to everything that you shared with me in this letter.
But just to reinforce what we're talking about, when we talk about the TPC audience, this is it.
This is the kind of people our show attracts and that we have always been working.
We're not hosts and you're not listeners.
We are all in this together.
We play a role.
You play a role.
We are a team.
We are a collective and we couldn't do it without one another, right?
But this listener writes, My daily prayers, dear James Edwards, my daily prayers are continuing to the fullest for you, your loved ones, your supporters, your associates, your media broadcast, and all of your labors.
I also pray over your ads, your interviews in the American Free Press, and everything else that you and Keith Alexander are doing.
And that is, again, Keith, when you put forth something, it's interesting to see what kind of people it attracts.
And there is nobody else I would rather be toiling in the vineyards with and working on behalf of than these dear people.
I mean, you know, it's been my entire adult life has been with these people, and I love them.
And I love you, ladies and gentlemen.
I know I speak for Keith when I say that, but letters like this, sentiments like this, mean everything.
And how can we lose with people like this, Keith?
Well, we can't.
We're going to be standing firm on our positions.
You know, our ancestors had great ideas too.
They just didn't have a medium like the internet by which they could compete with the megaphones that the left had back in the civil rights movement, for example.
We always remember that.
We have a lot of friends that date back to those days.
I remember when we were with the Council of Conservative Citizens and went to all of their annual meetings and things.
You know, we are carrying the keepers of the flame, basically.
You know, they lit the flame and we're keeping it going.
And quite frankly, because of the internet and because of new media developments, we're not just keeping the flame alive.
We're creating a forest fire, basically.
Everybody seems to know that deep in their heart, like I think it's Gerald Agnew or George Wallace, in your heart, please.
Well, in our hearts, that's why we have the support we have.
God bless the people for us.
And we will be back with you next week, ladies and gentlemen, as this adventure of ours continues.
And Keith, we are inching ever more close to our 21st anniversary.
You know, it's been a year celebrating the 20th.
This show is about to turn 21 on October the 26th.
So a little bit later this month, we will do that.
The trick every Halloween season on the left is that we're here.
And we're still here after all these years.
And it'll be 21 years later this month, October 26th, 2004, is when it all started.
So we always have fun with that.
We're just entering into such a fun time on our broadcast.
And we're growing.
And groups like the ADL and SPLC are diminishing.
That is well, you know, and it's all relative.
That is true.
I still wouldn't mind having, you know, a billion dollars in offshore accounts like they do.
But so, you know, but listen, I mean, I am happy for where we stand and that we get to stand it all.
And we only get to stand because of God's grace and the support that we draw from our listening audience.
It's a labor blow for us, and that's why we can't be defeated.
That's absolutely right.
And we stay lean and hungry.
But thanks for giving us some much needed fuel, ladies and gentlemen.
We couldn't do it without you.
But Keith Alexander, David Zuddy, David Duke, I'm James Edwards.
