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, still so much to come tonight.
We're looking forward to the second and third hours, no doubt about it.
But first, how about a big round of applause for our first hour guest, Mary Fagan Keene, the grand niece of Little Mary Fagan, who was murdered in, who, of course, was murdered by Leo Frank in Atlanta, which gave birth to the rise of the ADL.
What a fascinating case and a fascinating set of circumstances that led to one of the most nefarious anti-American organizations that's ever been, perhaps the most.
I can't think of any more nefarious than the ADL, all born from the murder and the rape of Little Mary Fagan.
Mary Fagan Keene, our first hour guest.
We're going to shift our attention now back to New York.
Now, you'll remember that last week we had our friend Frank Wyatt from New York call in with a little bit on the mayoral race there and received this email after the fact.
And I'm going to read it and then we're going to go to another friend who just so happens to be in downtown Manhattan tonight.
Can't wait to get to this particular friend.
Should we even call him a guest?
He's really part of the very identity of TPC.
We'll let you know who it is in just a second.
But this is what one of our friends wrote on last week's show.
I think Frank missed the main reason that barring a miracle, the African Muslim socialist Zorhan Momdami, I can't even pronounce it, Mom Danny will be elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday.
That is Tuesday, November the 4th, I believe.
That is this coming Tuesday.
Yes, indeed, the 4th.
New York is now 70% non-white, and that is only the official statistics.
The city is infested with illegals, so the real percentage is much higher.
And almost all of those non-whites hate and or resent whites, are envious of whites, and are determined to bleed whites dry.
Meanwhile, if you ask artificial intelligence about the racial makeup of New York, you are told that whites are the majority because they form the largest single ethnic group.
But you have to do a deep dive to discover how Talmudic that statement is.
Whites are 31% of New York.
Now, that is the dominant racial group in New York, whites at 31%.
How scary as hell is that?
Whites are 31%, but blacks and Hispanics are just a point or two behind.
And the tribe controls AI and Google searches, and they don't want you to know that whites, they don't want whites to know the truth about their current state and eventual fate.
I repeat, New York City, the Big Apple, is now 70% non-white.
That is the fact.
Whites are the largest racial group at 31%.
That means New York City is now 70% non-white.
Ma'am Danny is playing Santa Claus for non-whites, promising them free everything.
This, of course, is impossible, and the inevitable disappointment will fuel further violence, decay, and social collapse.
Cloward and Piven, the Princeton economists who plotted this exact strategy for Marxist takeover, are smiling in their graves.
But Mamdani will not be New York's first socialist mayor.
Fiorello LaGuardia ruled New York City from 1934 through 1945 as a Republican socialist.
How is that for a hybrid ticket?
LaGuardia, who was actually Jewish, flooded New York with Puerto Ricans, creating endless racial conflict and setting the template for endless non-white immigration leading to white replacement.
The New York City of my 1950s, our friend and listener writes, the New York City from my 1950s childhood was 90% white.
Think about that.
31% today in 1950, 90% white New York City, New York State, but New York City itself was 90% white.
He writes, I remember viewing blacks and Puerto Ricans as exotic creatures who were dirty, loud, and lazy.
Case in point, the Brooklyn Dodgers had to flee to L.A. because after integrating baseball with Jackie Robinson in 1947, the very same team owners discovered that black and Hispanics were not popular, not people you wanted in your ballpark, and they were chasing white fans away.
When the team owner saw a Puerto Rican urinate into a soda bottle and throw it at a player, he hit it out for the coast of California.
Ironically and predictably, Los Angeles, too, is now lost.
Our friend writes, I lived through several bad periods in New York City when money was tight, drugs were everywhere, and crime was rampant.
But the critical difference is this time there is a demographic shift.
Can a 70% non-white city right itself when many of those non-whites are Muslims who are determined to conquer for Allah and are outbreeding whites at an exponential rate?
Not a chance.
When people ask me if I miss New York City, I say yes.
New York in 1955.
I pray and I hope that whites can reconquer what was once a truly great metropolis.
Maybe we can turn the tables on Cloward and Piven acolytes and win the race war they are trying to foment.
But that may take house-to-house combat.
So fasten your seatbelts.
We're in for a bumpy ride.
And with that having been said, I wanted our friend right now, our brother, Eddie the Babadier Miller, who is in downtown Manhattan right now, to hear that reading and respond to it.
And then we'll get into the next segment, what he is up there for.
But Eddie, you're up there.
You're living the life.
I have seen pictures of you in towers so high that Babel could have never even fathomed.
White men built it all.
You're there in the streets of Manhattan tonight.
How are you, my friend?
Eddie the Babadier Miller back with us tonight live from New York City.
I'm having a wonderful time up here.
I'm feeling great.
As you well know, James, a lot of our lists, we have mutual listeners, mutual friends, mutual brothers and sisters.
A lot of people, everybody who's mom and new had that heart surgery back in May the 14th have made kind of a miraculous recovery.
There's been some up and downs.
But I don't know.
I may not run that marathon tomorrow because people have, I'll see a few photographs today from the, we had Big BT, Alphax St. Jude, a big pasta dinner at a place called Carmine.
It's very well known here in Manhattan.
And I had two people, I swear to God, about to break down and cry, begging me not to run that marathon.
I said, well, I wasn't going to try to run the full thing anyway, but I'll make this short about the marathon.
I was going to run.
I want to meet my friends at the Charity Village, but by some quirk, I'm not allowed to run the Saint-Doo Heroes bus or get into the Charity Village tomorrow.
However, I can run, I can run the marathon.
But half the reason I came here was to ride the Heroes bus and to go into Cherry Village.
I wanted to run across the Verisado Narrows Bridge and maybe up to the Queensborough Bridge and call my daughter, Robin, who brought me up here at her dime.
But I said I didn't know much about that mayor's race, but I'm going to kick in here and tell you what anybody with just with normal intelligence could look around and see.
You mentioned these towering buildings, just incredible sights.
I was sitting here near the Brooklyn Bridge, the Chrysler Building.
Oh, my God, the Chrysler Building.
The Empire State Building.
I've told my friend, old Guiley, I can't remember, I can't pronounce his name.
Anyway, I'll just call him TJ from Alabama.
You know him.
I've been knowing him since 1963.
I said that if you could come, if you want to see the New York of 1955, our friend was talking about, it'd be worth a trip just to see the New York City Library, the Grand Central Station.
You cannot believe how beautiful the Grand Central Station is.
How beautiful the Chrysler Building is.
The engineering, the art.
It's just, you can't.
Listen, when I was in the Army, I was in RR and I was in Europe for a while.
Europe has nothing to beat or maybe even match Grand Central Station.
The architecture, the art, it's just breathtaking.
And, you know, the city of New York, I'm born and bred southerner, but what you've talked about, Central Park, the beautiful art, everything you see, the Brooklyn Bridge is a miracle in itself.
All that will disappear.
We were talking about daughter and I was here today.
I'd like to give a shout out to my daughter.
She's out on the streets right now.
I could not have come here without her.
She brings me up here on her dime.
Lord knows, you know my economic status, James.
I couldn't afford it.
But she was telling me about this.
The buildings, what they're talking about, this mayor you're talking about, this Mandami, he said he's promising he's going to socialize the grocery stores, free food for every swinging dude.
You know, that, so what will happen?
All the grocery stores, owners, the business owners will flee New York.
But the problem is, I was telling her, will they, this Mandami guy, will he just confiscate their goods?
Will he try to confiscate the grocery stores?
I told her, well, that's probably going to be up to the federal courts to decide if he could do that.
But you will see a mass exodus.
New York City will become a hellhole like a Magadishi or something.
All right.
I want to talk about all of this.
Eddie, I know I didn't even talk to Eddie until today.
I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to have him on tonight from New York.
And I'm intruding on his time there.
I mean, he is in Manhattan on a Saturday night, but I really want to continue this for a little while longer.

Hopping home on down on Broadway.
You're no trend, but you're no lady.
Talking at the street talk.
You're the heart and soul of the local city.
And love and love and just the best thing we're sincere.
Thank you.
You should know the whole butterfly.
Well, Eddie, the Bobby Miller is not a native New Yorker, but I tell you, for a guy with Confederate blood pulsing through his veins, he certainly has taken to parts of it.
And Eddie, you know, regular listeners will know you have been a founding member of TPC going back to our very inception, and you have been running in these marathons for so many years now.
First, the St. Jude Memphis Marathon, then on to the New York Marathon, Nashville Marathon, whatever marathon you can get in.
Marathons, in and of themselves, is a very, you know, they have a very European origin.
We'll talk about that in a minute.
But you're in New York tonight, and you have been to New York to run the New York Marathon.
How many times now?
This is about 7th New York Marathon.
Praise God.
I was 67 years old when my first New Yorker.
I was 65 years old when I did my first marathon in Memphis.
If you remember, I'm sure you will.
We advertised that over TPC and we raised buku money.
You know, it was the donors, the supporters of the listeners of TPC were the ones that came up with the money to, you had to pledge money to run these marathons.
The money goes to St. Jude Jill's Resource Hospital.
I don't get a dime of it.
Like I said, my daughter brings me up here in her own time.
And that's another whole story.
I could do another whole story with her.
They tell me I was a pretty good old dad, you know, and uh, but it'll keep you, it'll make me cry if I talk about my daughter.
She's boiled this rotten.
And believe me, I can attest to that because I have seen the pictures of where they're staying tonight and Eddie's view out of his window of his hotel.
And I was there, as you know, Eddie, back in 07 with CNN a few times.
And I can remember walking around Times Square, and I looked, it is a marvel.
I mean, forget about the politics of New York, the racial demographics of New York, the New York of 1955 versus the New York of 2025.
White men built that city.
They built those skyscrapers.
You look at those pictures, those old pictures of those white men sitting on beams with their lunch pails, you know, thousands of feet, you know, in the air.
White men did it.
And there is still, I know it's a Yankee city.
It is still something to be very proud of.
That is still our European blood that built that city.
And we've pissed it away, but there is something to be proud about.
And I know you feel it as you are there tonight as a southerner.
You feel it right now live in Manhattan.
Yes, you know, I look at that.
And matter of fact, it's a coincidence you said that because I was telling my daughter, and we mentioned that each time we come up here.
Anyone, and I'll tell people, even until it gets rougher, we've hadn't had any trouble yet.
I've gone places in Memphis worse than this right here.
So maybe I'm a fool, but I don't have any fear for anything.
We haven't had any trouble.
You smell this, what we call skunkweed everywhere you go.
Well, we were talking, we said, white men built this.
I'm looking at the photograph right now on this big, huge TV screen.
It's showing you the Brooklyn Bridge.
If anyone ever, if you ever get a chance, go and pull up a documentary on the Brooklyn Bridge.
It'll tell you what the white men did there.
The man, you know, you hear about the Chrysler building, Walter Chrysler, an entrepreneur, started with nothing, built the Chrysler building.
It was going to be the tallest building in the world.
The fellow who built, and he was white, of course, probably German.
Chrysler is a German name.
The fellow who started General Motors built the Empire State Building.
That was a race.
Andrew Carnegie, David Rockefeller, love him or hate him.
They were all white men.
And like I said, love them or hate them.
They did donate a lot to society.
Everybody in this mama knows about the libraries in New York City.
They were donated millions and millions of millions of Andrew Carnegie.
Carnegie Hall, which we'll eat again tomorrow, probably.
They were all white men built it.
White men, a place we went last night, my daughter took me to a place about an hour north of the city.
They called the city on a train.
We went to see this pumpkin farm, the Halloween stuff, all built by white people.
The rail system built by white people.
The steel in the skyscrapers built by white people.
I mean, the architecture, I just can't tell you how fascinating it is.
If you get a chance to come up here, you see what your white brothers did and your white sisters.
I don't know how on earth they did that.
Inside the Grand Central Station, inside the New York Public Library, you have to see.
I cannot tell you how magnificent it is without seeing it with your own eyes.
And white people did that.
And keep in mind, years and years and years before computers were even thought of.
Brooklyn Bridge is kind of a miracle.
Brooklyn, I don't know if you know this or not, but Brooklyn Bridge sits on sand.
You're not supposed to build anything on sand.
They drill down as far as they can drill.
They could never hit rock bottom.
So the man, he did it from his hospital bed because he was bedridden.
His wife helped fish Brooklyn Bridge of a little white lady.
It's just so awe-inspiring in New York.
And keep in mind, I am born and bred in the Southland just like you, James, just like most people in TPC.
Most of all of our staff, we have ancestors directly to connected to the South that fought in the Lincoln's War.
But like you said, go ahead, James.
Well, I was just going to say very quickly, because I know the point you're about to make, and this is something that our friends at Dixie Republic have made.
Okay, so if our friends at Dixie Republic can make this, and I'm talking about Hunter at Dixie Republic, and he said this.
He said, yes, we are Southerners.
We are Southerners first and foremost, but we were not always Southerners.
We were something before that.
We were Europeans.
And there is a common denominator there, a tie that binds, even though, I mean, forget about the politics of New York, Blue State, forget about their role in the war between the states if you can for a moment and just look at the marvel of that city.
It is a city unlike any other in the world, and it was a city built by European blood.
And that is, I think, something that we can celebrate.
And I'll tell you something else, though.
The first time I came up here, I had a misconception of New York and New York people.
Our buddy, our mutual brother, Frank Hawaii, who I heard you mention, you're going to be having dinner with him on Monday, I think.
Yes, Monday with Frank Hawaii and his associates, our associates, our brothers.
He told me there's two kinds of people, and I can vouch for what he said is true.
There's two kinds of white people, two kinds of people in New York.
There's Jews and anti-Semites.
Those are the two kinds.
And I can guarantee you, if you think that all people that live in the north, I can tell you, I've been coming up here since I was 60 years old.
I'm 78 now, going on 79.
And you'll see as many white people here that we're going to meet, they're hardcore.
You could say Nazi man, like me, you know, hardcore, you know, the believers in the clan, the believers in the social and national socialism.
I say much more than Memphirica because the part of Memphica I live in has been taken over by these woke little airheads, you know, that have been brainwashed.
So don't get it in your mind just because somebody lives in New York or New Jersey that they're automatic, you know, Yankees and woke clowns.
They're not.
It's not like that.
I was totally taken aback as a prospect, James.
But we have brothers up there.
Some of our, well, hell, Frank Hawaii, who he donates to both by you and me.
There's a lot of hardcore people in New York, New Jersey.
New Jersey, well, Frank was on last week to talk about the fact that New Jersey is about to turn red.
I mean, you can go to some of these deep blue enclaves and you're going to find some really hardcore people.
We've got a lot of, I mean, Eddie, you know.
I mean, my God, do you know?
Of course, as you'll recall, Eddie, at TPC's 20th anniversary event last year, the conference that you were at and so many of our listeners were at.
I mean, our keynote speaker, you remember that guy from New York?
I mean, how hardcore was that?
That's very hardcore, I'm here to tell you, buddy.
It's just so amazing.
And I thank God I'm able to do what I'm doing.
That may be kind of an aside.
But white people built St. Jude, as you well, as you well know, St. Jude, the world headquarters, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, is in Memphica.
And it's all white.
Is this so ironic?
It's always, and this may be kind of a rabbit trail, but even with St. Jude, it's always white people helping white people in all the rest of the races, the blacks, the browns, the yellows.
It's always us helping the rest of the world.
I don't do, I don't know, James, you might know.
Do you know of another children's research hospital that's just staffed totally by blacks or staff totally started by blacks, staffed by Zach blacks, fundraising by blacks?
Or how about the Port?
Is there a children's hospital in the world that's staffed or in the United States is staffed by Puerto Ricans or Mexicans or Chinese?
Hell no.
The point is, we're, and this may be the other side, but our rights were altruistic to a fault.
In fact, I think we have a suicide gene in our makeup, in our genetics.
It's our radical, oh, what is it?
I've got it on the tip of my tongue.
I mean, there is something to that.
It's our pathological altruism is really what it is.
I mean, there is something clinical to that.
And I'll tell you something else.
If I could have, if it could have been kicked out of St. Jude, I don't know if I'm getting ready to say.
If I could, if it's in my power, I would have a children's research hospital just for our people, for our white people.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Let the blacks start their own children's research hospital.
Let the Mexicans have their own research hospital.
And we need to take care of our own people, but I have no control over that.
It is exactly honorable.
It is no doubt noble.
But in point of fact, you have run to help people of all kinds.
Let's stick with you.
One more segment.
If I can steal it from you, Eddie, stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
Please.

News this hour from Town Hall.
I'm Jason Walker.
United States government shutting down continues into day number 32.
The pain for many Americans deepening down.
The pressure is on Washington, and it's intensifying to resolve the stalemate.
The latest from correspondent Julie Walker.
Between crises at the heart of the government shutdown fight in Washington coming to a head.
The federal food assistance program facing delays and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are set to see a dramatic rise in health insurance bills.
The shutdown, the second longest in history, entered its second month Saturday.
One government official says there are a lot of questions and very few answers.
Continued staffing shortages in air traffic control facilities causing delays at airports, and it's growing.
Controllers have been working without pay since the shutdown began October 1st.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has been warning that travelers will see more flights delayed and or canceled the longer controllers go without a paycheck.
FAA reported staffing-related delays Friday at airports in Boston, Nashville, Houston, and Dallas.
Despite the government shutdown, public policy expert Matthew Contanetti says Congress was actually very busy this past week.
The idea that President Biden was not really running the country, at least certainly not toward the end of his administration, and perhaps for far longer, than here, Arctic Frost, the sense that the Justice Department elements within the FBI, and as we know from even some of the other national security agencies, viewed themselves as partisan actors who deemed half the country as engaged in a potentially criminal enterprise.
RK Frost, that he mentioned, was a widespread Biden spy operation.

Start spreading the news.
I'm leaving today.
I want to be part of it.
New York, New York.
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray right through the very heart of it.
New York, New York.
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep.
And find I'm king of the hills.
Well, that's all blue eyes.
Frank Sinatra, not exactly on our side, but he did inspire the great, the all-time great, the never-surpassed Frankie Valley to get into the music industry.
So we thank him for that, if nothing else.
And there in New York, New York tonight is Eddie the Bombardier Miller, southern to the core, but he does like going to New York.
And Eddie, you know, so we were talking about how many marathons this has been for you in New York.
Remind us of how many New York marathons and how many marathons overall.
Let's see.
This would be the seventh marathon.
And by the way, Frankie himself, at every single marathon of a run, when you start on the Barrel Solar Narrows Bridge, Barrel Solo Straits Bridge, they start after the countdown.
There's a howitzer they use for the starting gun.
I know this is another rabbit trail.
Instead of the regular starting gun, this is a damn howitzer because we started a place called Fort Wadsworth, which is an old Army base, on Staten Island, and they fired up howitzer for the starting gun.
And then Frank Sinatra belts out New York, New York.
I'm telling you, the adrenaline is uncontrollable almost.
That's what gets you going.
Oh, man, it's just incredible.
By the way, that bridge is just slightly, it's two miles and about 50 meters across.
So that's a fur piece.
But yeah, this was the seventh one.
I sprang my first marathon, I think I said earlier, in 2012.
And I was with TPC then, and the TPC people donated to get me in that marathon.
And the rest was history.
You know, also cardiac ICU.
When I was 60 years old, cardiac ICIU, I was being treated by a nephrologist, was a kidney specialist, got a neurologist, was supposedly brain damage.
You name it, I had it.
And there is a God in heaven, son.
I've come from that.
I'm just on some blood pressure medicine now and some anti-rhythmic medicine.
I don't have to take that much longer because I had that heart surgery back in May the 14th.
But God willing, I'm going to die running.
In fact, my motto is die running.
It's better medicine.
Running, if you get the certain miles going, get those endorphins going.
It's the best medicine.
It's far better than any psychotropic drug you could possibly be on.
But I hope I didn't get too carried away with that.
But just talk about running marathons and stuff.
I think you get carried away.
Total marathons, counting Memphis, the Memphis St. Jude, Nashville, St. Jude, New York Marathon, and elsewhere.
How many total marathons have you run?
And when did you start?
I mean, because you didn't start until late in life.
That's right.
65 years old.
That's the 13 years.
I think I have to count them up.
Because you run more than one marathon a year, sometimes two or three in a year, starting at age 67, and now you're how old?
Oh, I'll...
78 and a half years old.
78 and a half.
It's still running in the New York Marathon, ladies and gentlemen.
And I want to run my goal is the matter of fact, I've already planned the 80th.
I want to do the 80th.
I might want to try to run Boston, but Boston is much more expensive than New York.
As a St. Jude Hero, it costs right now.
I was lucky to get in at $4,000.
This is another thing people don't know.
You don't just run these things.
You have to pay to run them or at least raise money to compete in them.
You raised $4,000 to compete in the New York Marathon tomorrow.
Yes.
As a St. Jude Hero, you can apply for what they call a lottery and get drawn, but you have to pay your entrance fees to the NIRR, the New York Marathon people.
Or you can qualify by running by speed, but you have to be a fast mama to qualify for New York, even more so for Boston.
But I tell you what, I've run some races that were not sanctioned by St. Jude, but it's almost like drinking decaf coffee.
There's just something about being a St. Jude Hero.
I mean, you know, I can think of another analogy, but I won't say that on the radio.
But anyway, there's something about it.
It changed my life.
Well, run the first marathon ever ran.
When I did that, and James, you know, I was in a hell of a shape.
You know, when I was, I was bumping 230 pounds, blood pressure 230 over 130.
Well, you run that first marathon, get that metal, you realize there's nothing on this earth you can't do.
And I know I don't want to hog it, I don't want to hog this program.
Now, this is what we're here to talk about.
This hour, this hour with you, Eddie, which was originally scheduled for 15 minutes.
I was like, you know, if you could just go to, I know you're in downtown New York City tonight, you're in Manhattan.
15 minutes tonight, you know, is that too much to ask?
And then it went to 30 and then the whole hour.
But there is something uniquely European about all of this.
I mean, again, we're talking about the fact that Southerners can go to New York and still feel like a sense of awe, as I felt.
I remember CNN gave me a driver, and I didn't know any other place in downtown, but I knew that there was Fridays there, you know, the restaurant Fridays.
And I said, you know, he asked me when I left the studio that night at the CNN, where do you want to go?
And I said, you know, just take me to the Fridays in Times Square.
I told Jess Bonds, you remember Jess back in the day?
Oh, yes.
He was a little more well-traveled than I was at the time.
And he asked, where did I go to eat?
And I said, Fridays.
And he almost died with all the places I could have gone to eat there that night.
But nevertheless, the fact is that the word marathon itself is very European.
It's steeped in European history.
This whole 26.2 miles, you know, a marathon is 26.2 miles.
This is a marathon named after the legendary Greek messenger Theodepidus, I believe, if I'm pronouncing it correctly.
He ran from the town of Marathon to Athens to announce a crucial Greek victory over the Persians in 490 BC.
So nearly half a century before Christ, Eddie, the run of this messenger from Marathon to Athens, which happened to be exactly or approximately 26.2 miles, and that is where we get the modern-day marathon from.
I doubt many people know that.
And I think that marathon or that very first bathtub, or if I'm not mistaken, they go back and research it about.
I think he died after the end of that marathon.
And some people do.
I have passed out during marathons, and not to do my own horror, but some of the people at Breakaway Running Memphis said that Papa was the man he runs, he passes out, and he gets up and finished with a marathon.
But I've only passed out twice during all these marathons.
I'm guessing how many?
Sometimes you do two or three in a year.
Yes, I do.
Usually, one can do three in a year.
Like you said, Memphis, Nashville, and New York, they're all sanctioned by St. Jude.
You know what?
I need to go home and count down.
I'm going to say, what's that 13 years?
What's that?
39, three times 30.
I'm going to say roughly 34 marathons.
Because as you're talking about 13, that's 13 years, and I never dreamed I would even do one.
But before I, oh, and I don't want to get too much of a rap traffic, but I got to say one thing we talked about.
I don't want to forget.
My daughter said today to me something, James, about you and I.
Oh, about me and you, brother.
That's Southern.
Something I've heard many people say.
You know what I'm getting ready to say.
You and I have always from day one have had a special chemistry that you just do not find amongst other people.
I think it was spiritual.
I think it was ordained by God.
That we've always had that special chemistry, that special love for each other.
God knows we fought.
God knows we've argued.
God knows we've got drunk together and everything else.
Maybe I shouldn't say that.
But maybe the people think we're keeping moonshine, though, so that keeps it so.
But I just like to tell you that I've always loved you like a son.
Maybe I should say an older son or whatever.
But, and I know you just feel the same thing with me.
Well, you know, the Lord of the board.
Well, no, I appreciate that, Eddie, because, I mean, again, you go back to the very founding of this program.
We go back now 21 years.
You know, PPC celebrated its 21st anniversary last week on October the 26th.
The 21 years, and you were there.
I mean, right at the right at the very beginning.
I mean, right there in like year one.
And, you know, so now 21 years later, and it's just, it's a marvel how fast it's all gone.
We celebrated that last week.
And it's unbelievable.
No, well, I mean, it really is.
And as you said, it's, it's, well, it's just been a hell of a ride.
I mean, but there has been something there about you being there since the beginning of the story and all of the things that have come and gone and how so much has changed since then, not just for one another and this program and now your show, but this entire cause of ours.
And, you know, we've just moved beyond, I think, anything we could have ever realized or imagined back in 2004.
But he's in New York tonight.
One more segment about that.
One more segment with Eddie Miller live from Manhattan, New York City.
Right after stay tuned.

How do you know your child loves you?
When he calls and he says, Dad, why don't we go fishing?
Just very simple, but it really counts.
Make a song up and they come into our bedroom and say, we made a song and will you listen to me?
Our next year's daughter came to me with tears in her eyes.
She said, Daddy, I just thank you for coming home every night when we were growing up.
My son does the nicest things.
When he's playing outside, he'll come in and just give me a hug and run right back outside.
My daughter goes to the same high school that I'm the registrar at.
And I'll go into my office after the bell has rung and there's a note on my desk.
And it'll usually say, Mom, I love you.
I'm thinking about you.
And I think of my boy that we finally got him through graduation.
And he came up to me and said, I made it.
Thanks.
Family, isn't it about time?
That's all I said.
And that meant everything to me.
From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobblestones.
Looking for fun and feeling groovy.
Feeling groovy.
And we're back with Eddie the Bobbinder Miller live from New York.
Have you ever been to the 59th Street Bridge, Eddie?
Do you know where that is?
I'm not, my driver didn't take me there that night.
I can tell you that.
Now, I've been to most of the bridges here.
We crossed.
I tell you what, they got the mother of all bridges right here on this marathon.
The biggest one, of course, is the Verrosano Narrows, Verisano Straits.
I've heard different names.
It's a little over two miles across.
I'll tell you another batty is at the exact halfway mark.
Strange enough, at the 13-mile mark, they have what they call the Queensborough Bridge.
Somebody people call the Ed Toss Memorial Bridge.
Probably the 59th Street Bridge.
This has about five names, and it is the mother of all bridges.
It's like it is steep.
It's a killer.
Another funniest side, at the very last bridge in the New York Marathon, there's been an old man there.
I've seen every year.
And he's been there for years.
He has a sign printed up.
It says, Last Day of the Bridge.
And he's saying, thank God, those bridges are badass.
I'm here to tell you, buddy.
It's like it's a very steep hill, especially when you're out there 20, 22 miles.
It is badass.
I'd like to just mention one thing.
Just take a few seconds.
We went to the pasta dinner today at a place, a very upscale place called Carmines.
I mean, Carmines goes all out.
You would not believe the spread they had for us.
And speeches and Alsac St. Jude people from all over the country.
Had my pictures made with some of them.
Our keynote speaker was this lady.
She talked about her, and there was on a dry eye in the house.
She talked about how much she loved St. Jude.
She was a white lady.
She said that her son, the healthiest little baby you've ever seen, but about the age of three, her husband found like a little grave spot with kind of like a scab on his back over his right shoulder.
I turned out to be was a deadly form of cancer, but they cured St. Jude, cured that.
But the long story short, from the time he was like three, four years old to the time he was 17, cancers kept coming back.
Bone cancer, lung cancer, you name it.
He finally succumbed.
But he started his own foundation, his own memorial foundation.
He knew he was going to die.
I've heard several children say this.
They'll say, Papa, I know I'm going to die.
I'm not afraid to die.
I'll make this very quick.
The first time I started with, got hooked up with St. Jude, I went to see a kid.
He was from South Georgia.
I can't mention his name, but he told me the same thing.
Hey, you're talking about tears.
I know I had so much snot in my body.
He told me that you cry and cry and cry.
I went to testify to them as a new Christian.
But you're talking about humble.
I just turned me into a bowl of jelly.
He started talking to me, scripture and God, how he's seen visions.
He told me, he said, I'm not afraid to die.
I'm not going to die.
He said, don't worry about it.
And I mean, I was just turned into jello.
But anyway, it's very emotional about St. Jude.
We do say, well, and I'll say we do this.
And let me just say this, Eddie, if I can.
You're a hard guy.
You were in Vietnam.
You have seen life.
You have seen death.
You are a medic in Vietnam.
You've seen it all.
And for you to offer this testimony right now is people should listen.
I'll tell you what, there's nothing like seeing you never get used to death.
I've seen more death than more than I'd ever want to.
And some things you never get over.
It will mess your mind up.
If you see enough of it up close and personal, you never get over it.
You just can't, unless you're not human.
But there's more life at St. Jude's.
And I didn't want to make this a St. Jude commercial, but this is the reason I do it.
And people like to know about us, James.
Not that we're big, important people, but we have people that follow us and love us and donate to us.
They'd like to know about us.
And so that's what makes us tick.
We are all different.
We're humans.
We're not monsters.
We're not, at least y'all aren't.
You're up there running for kids of all races.
You're raising money for them.
You're running in this marathon.
You're putting your body and your life on the line at this age in your life to run 26.2 miles at that age.
And not only once, not only twice, but sometimes three times a year.
That's how much you're moved by this.
But you are an ardent Southerner and you are ardently pro-white, yet still you do this for the kids.
Absolutely.
You know, of course, I said that earlier.
I could have a white-only hospital I would for our people, but that's not the way it works.
I think scripture, you know more scripture than I do, but I think it says like it rains on the good and just like the bad, runs on the bad as a good.
You just, in fact, believe it or not, there was a fellow who sent me, well, he was donating to the show, and he sent me a note.
I couldn't believe he actually said this.
He said, you know, I'm really sorry to hear that you were associated with St. Jude.
He said, because I heard that he said, I can't believe that you're associated with the place that experiments on kids.
Like we're leaving lab rats.
I couldn't believe he said that.
You know, I said, yes, it is.
It's the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
We don't do research on kids.
We have to, I keep saying we.
St. Jude has its own pharmacology.
We develop our own drugs.
You do research on mice and rabbits, what have you, but we don't use kids as laboratory specimens.
I mean, for my God, surely people wouldn't think I'd be involved in something like that.
And I told him, you know, the curate, for instance, when I started running, well, way before I thought about running.
In fact, I have a friend, another thing that inspired me when I was a kid, I guess, first grade.
He was a good bit older, but he was probably sixth, maybe seventh grade.
He died of leukemia.
And I had an actual spiritual experience about that long after he was dead.
I had to tell you about that sometimes, James.
But when he had leukemia back in the 50s, if you had a kid that said he'd got leukemia, it was a death sentence.
It was like being bitten in the face with a king cobra.
You were not going to live.
Well, if you lift up some lymphoblasty leukemia, which was the deadliest one of all, now they're curing you about 90%.
So I tell these people that.
And if you do get involved in something like that, it's just, it consumes you.
It really does.
But I didn't want to make this a whole to take up your show for you.
No, this is what we planned for 15 minutes tonight.
We've extended it to 30 and then a full hour.
And we have moved other people around accordingly.
But no, I mean, tonight, you are in New York.
You're preparing to run in the New York Marathon tomorrow at your age in the upper 70s.
And you're raising, you know, you've done this to benefit the kids who receive life-saving, in many cases, treatment at St. Jude.
But at the same time, it is interesting politically for such an ardent Southerner as you and I are to be in New York and to marvel at what New York is.
Well, I would end with this, I think, is because we've covered so much, but to go back full circle to where we were earlier this hour and thinking about the presentation that was made by our actor friend at TPC's 20th anniversary conference last year.
He gave the opening night keynote speech that Friday night there in South Carolina.
He brought the house down.
I mean, this is a guy who's worked with Whoopi Goldberg and Meryl Streep and George Clooney, and he was there with us and he was talking about his life and the arts and all of this.
And, you know, he's a native New Yorker.
And, you know, now New York is 31% white, but that counts Jews.
All right.
So if you take them away and they are a substantial portion of the New York population, much more so than the nationwide population, I mean, whites are a minority in New York.
You're there now, Eddie.
I won't ask you where you are exactly because typically when TPC announces their location at a hotel, there are bomb threats and things like that.
But you're right there in the middle of Manhattan with a minute remaining.
You know, what happened?
What's the future of New York if this guy, I can't even pronounce his name, Zoran Mundan Dani.
He gets elected and he's promising everything to everybody that's non-white and it continues, the white population of New York continues to drindle beyond the low 30s.
What's New York's future with a minute to go?
You know, I don't want to be too pessimistic.
I'm always optimistic, but if this dude gets elected and he does get his platform through, it's inevitable.
New York will become just a shell of itself.
All the things we talked about, the transit, we didn't talk about the subway system, the great transportation system.
Me and my daughter, we rode a great train last night about 50 miles north of the city.
That will all come to a screeching halt.
People will not have the skills to run that.
The massive welfare system that will run the confiscation without compensation that's going on in South Africa, it'll be in New York.
Business will leave.
Businesses will fold.
It will become another Mogud issue.
It's on the way.
And I'll have to say, as much as I love being up here, you smell with this skunkweed everywhere you go.
That cheap dope.
You can definitely tell that there are more non-whites than whites.
The only upbeat issue that we're used to seeing all these feral blacks in Memprica.
You don't see the blacks don't rule the roost here.
That's the only thing getting good.
These other colors are not as violent, in my opinion, in my experience, as blacks.
That's the only upbeat.
But they do never forget, though, and this is my opinion only, especially the blacks, there is genetic hatred that these colors have, these non-whites have.
They hate us because they know, I'm telling you flat out, it's just my belief.
The white race is superior.
The white race built the Christ reville.
It built the Empire State Billy.
It built Brooklyn Bridge.
It built the subway system.
It built all the incredible, almost impossible engineering piece in the world.
The greatest city in the world, the medicine, the engineering, the art, all of it's all born.
It's born of envy and jealousy.
Yes, it is.
That is true.
He speaks the truth tonight, as he always does.
Eddie the Babadier Miller, going back now 21 years on this show together.
And even prior to that, by campaign for the State House in 2002, Eddie has been part of it all, and he is part of it tonight.
Live from New York, Eddie is in downtown Manhattan tonight, and I mean he is at a very posh hotel, as he calls in tonight.
Eddie, enjoy the rest of your night, the rest of the weekend.
I can't wait to talk to you when you get back to Memphis and back to the Confederacy next week.
