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.
Welcome back,
everybody, to our third and final hour of this, our first show of December, the Christmas season upon us here on TPC once again.
And now we introduce to you for the first time a debut guest, Richard Parker.
When he sent me his bio tonight, I said, yes, you are in the right place.
Richard Parker is a right-wing reactionary populist writer who has been, well, he's been writing about a variety of topics for a while.
He has been published on The Occidental Observer.
That's Kevin McDonald's website, The Uns Review, Ron Uns.
And he also can be found on Twitter at AsTheRaven Calls, or you can read his substack, The Ravens Call, a Reactionary Perspective at theravenscall.substack.com.
We'll plug all that again before the end of the hour.
But let's first say hello to Richard.
Welcome to TPC for the first time.
Richard, how are you today?
Good evening.
Thank you so much for having me on.
I really appreciate it.
Well, it's great to talk to you.
The audience doesn't know this, but I'll let them know now.
You and I have been engaging in an email back and forth for a long, quite a while now.
I don't even know how long, but long enough for me to know that you write some pretty interesting things.
And we just wanted to have you on tonight to share your thoughts on a few different subjects.
And I'm at your substack right now.
Again, that's The Ravens Call, a Reactionary Perspective.
And I could just mention the title or the headline of any one of a couple of dozen articles I'm looking at right now, and we could fill some great time with it.
But let's first go to the theme of your writing that you wanted to talk about tonight, and that is the culture.
Yeah, what I wanted to say to introduce things is American conservatism in particular has been an absolute failure for two basic core reasons.
One, they do not understand the nature of power at all, and they do not care, and they do not understand about matters of culture and institutions of culture and how those institutions of culture are an expression of power.
And you had written to me in an email earlier today that conservatism has failed in almost everything, and its naivete and even disdain for matters of culture are a big reason why.
You're right that Tide seems to be turning on the transgender menace, but it took a decade.
But more manly opposition to the left would have been able to dispense with it far more quickly.
So let's talk about where we are versus where we should be vis-a-vis.
What was done and what should have been done.
Take it any direction you want, Richard.
And take your direction.
Well, with transgenderism, with the few exceptions, like Matt Walsh, most wasted so much time and breath giving lip service to Martin Luther King and how consenting adults can do what they want to do and that they only care about transgender nuttery being propagated to children.
And they conceded so much ground.
And by doing that, they effectively normalize the transgender menace.
And then when something is normalized, it inevitably bleeds into the fabric of society and culture.
And kids and adolescents are then going to become infected by that social contagion.
So instead of just saying, no, this is an absolute menace and abomination, and it needs to be resisted outright and stigmatized in a manly, assertive way, there's all this hemming and hawing.
And that problem has been seen in a lot of other issues.
One of my essays talks about a documentary called The Lost Children of Rockdale County, which relates to the outbreak of syphilis and other STDs among teens and even preteens as young as 12.
And they found out a lot of really hyper-promiscuous, shocking sexual activity.
But they also noticed in the culture, these adolescent girls were listening to all this unspeakably vulgar rap music, which I can't even describe in detail because we're on the radio.
But that was almost 30 years ago.
And now, you know, what have conservatives done to fight any of that?
Now, instead of that, we have Sabrina Carpenter and parents bringing their six-year-old girls to Sabrina Carpenter concerts replete with like Sabrina Carpenter 69 seamed apparel.
So you've had 25 plus years for mainstream conservatism to try and do something about any of these problems, and they've done absolutely nothing.
They've done worse than nothing.
Well, let me say this.
I'm a Southerner, and I can tell you, I don't know whether you are or not, but I can tell you what happened to the South in the civil rights movement.
Because of Jewish control of the media, the best arguments that were made were totally disregarded and not even given the light of day by the mainstream media.
You had smart people like Jimmy Burns, who was the head of the massive resistance movement, a former member of the U.S. Supreme Court.
He was the guy in charge of war industry transformation of America during World War II.
These are very talented, smart people, but they were treated like they were a bunch of congenital idiots by the mainstream media.
And what happened in the South was by losing all of these arguments, white Americans, particularly white southerners, got the idea that, you know, they basically developed Stockholm syndrome.
They said, you know, we'll say anything, just stop beating us.
And they were trying to find some way to blunt the criticism.
And I think that people don't call this out.
This is what has happened.
And it's a direct consequence of Jewish power and influence in charge of the media.
What do you think about that?
Well, that's obviously true.
And Kevin McDonald and others have documented how Jewish moguls are widely, you know, disproportionately represented among media bosses and whatnot.
And that's been a problem since the end of World War II and probably even before.
Yeah, basically, the Jews took over America's government in 1912 with the election of Woodrow Wilson.
And it's been an unrelenting force, you know, gaining power and steam ever since then.
And at least in my mind, that's the source of everything that ails us.
Every movement that has cheapened and coarsened American society, the civil rights movement, the feminist movement, the homosexual rights movement, the no-fault divorce initiative, all of these things were masterminded, financed, and brought to fruition by Jewish power and influence.
If we need people to understand the origins of whatever it is that ails us so that they can begin to craft some type of response to it.
And, you know, I agree.
You know, I believe you had an article about how bad Katy Perry is.
She's kind of a Bush League, you know, Taylor Swift, I guess.
But all of these people are, the music is horrible.
And it is, you know, in fact, not even worthy of the name of music.
But this is, you know, when I was a kid growing up, and you probably too, I could name all of the bands that were on the top 10.
I have no idea who the top 10 is anymore.
They're just, it's just this.
Because you're old now.
Well, not only.
I try to inflate myself from it, but you can't, because if you go out to eat at a restaurant or you go in these different public places, you're going to be exposed to it whether you like it or not.
And I try not to bother myself too much with any particular artist, but eventually you hear something enough times and you make an inquiry as to I don't even know who the authors of this music are or what the so-called artists are.
It's just all inanity.
Well, if you go to my essay, Katie's Perry's Horrible Music Cannot Be Turned Off, I document that one gentleman named Max Martin has written, I don't know, at least 25 Billboard Hot 100 number one singles.
He's written a lot of other hit songs as well.
Those are just the number one hit singles.
But the two producers behind Katie Perry, as well as others, are both Jewish, as is the producer who's behind Sabrina Carpenter.
There are two graphic images in the essay that document that, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Scooter Braun, who was behind Taylor Swift, is probably the most powerful Jewish producer in the music industry today.
And he's dating Sidney Sweeney, who is everybody's favorite conservative.
See, this whole world that I don't own.
Yeah, Sidney Sweeney isn't the best queen we need.
All right, actually, we're opening up a can of worms here that was not even intended, but I might save that some Phil Specter Ditties for next week under the circumstances.
I remember Katy Perry's famous song, I kissed a girl in I Life.
All right, that was her first big hit, in fact.
Well, let's get back to it with Richard Parker making his debut appearance.
And if you want to read what Keith's reading, go to theravenscall.substack.com.
We'll be right back.
Hey, y'all.
Do you enjoy great tasting coffee but are tired of supporting companies that hate you?
If so, let me tell you about Above Time Coffee.
Above Time Coffee is a privately owned and operated small business.
They hand-roast coffee and ship it to customers throughout the United States and abroad.
Above Time Coffee was launched because they saw a need for more pro-white businesses serving our people.
The time has come to take our own side.
And did I mention their coffee tastes great?
It's the best coffee I've ever tasted.
When James brought home a sample from a conference, I was hooked and threw out all the other brands.
I think you will too after you make an order at abovetimecoffee.com.
Living a healthy and active lifestyle is important to us.
And I appreciate the effort Above Time Coffee invests in keeping its products organic.
And there are so many flavors to choose from.
Check it out for yourself by visiting abovetimecoffee.com.
It's the only coffee we drink at the Edwards Home.
Delicious Coffee, a company that serves the interests of our people.
Check out their selection today at abovetowncoffee.com.
Why don't we say to the government writ large that they have to spend a little bit less?
Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last?
Anybody better have it a 1% pay cut?
You deal with it.
That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut.
If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief.
But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible.
Who are they?
Republicans.
Who are they?
Democrats.
Who are they?
Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money.
So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere.
The money will be added to the debt, and there will be a day of reckoning.
What's the day of reckoning?
The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market.
The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar.
When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency.
That's culture right there.
That's music right there.
We were talking about what is and what isn't music, modern-day music, who are the top two.
That's music.
That's canon indeed.
That's the Christmas canon.
And going back to Richard Parker now, talking about culture, talking about conservatism, which has almost become a disparaging term around here.
Nobody wants to be called a conservative.
Except those.
Well, I mean, not really.
More than that, conservatism is the ones that have – anyway, Richard knows what I'm stabbing at.
But the whole thing here with culture and conservatism and where we're at and where we need to be.
But going back first, though, to where we paused it at was this, yeah, this whole thing.
I mean, Sidney Swindy has had a transformative year, and she's been a plus to us, but there is the rest of that story.
She's dating a Jewish music mogul.
Anyway, but let's go back to what should the right be doing now, Richard, to correct the L's.
I mean, certainly we know that there is Jewish control of sports and music and media generally.
And everything, really.
What should we be doing?
I don't know if there is a solution to this problem.
A lot of things that I think and talk about needed to be addressed decades ago.
I mean, the problem with Vulgar Rep music, there needed to be something more besides just Tip Regore's explicit lyrics labels on CDs.
There needed to be, I'd argue, censorship, just something a little bit more adamant than what we received.
But I think the first step is to understand the nature of the problem.
And I don't think mainstream conservatism has an intellectual grasp on almost anything.
And one thing I think about a great deal, and I've written about it as well, I mean in my essays, is a concept called defining deviancy down.
It's something that Robert Bork wrote about insulting towards Gomorrah, and it's very simple.
Any society, it could be a society of saints or sinners, has the same quotient of deviant behavior that's on the edges.
And so what happens is when you normalize homosexuality or you give blessing to gay marriage or any number of things, you're defining deviancy down.
And so whereas like homosexuality was on the fringes, on the edges of society, that becomes normalized, and then something further down the line then becomes on the fringes.
And I mean, this isn't really an, I mean, Robert Bork wrote about it decades ago, but no conservatives were talking about this, well, almost none, in relation to gay marriage or any of the culture issues that we've faced and lost over the decades.
And that's just one example where mainstream conservatism just doesn't have the intellectual wherewithal to fight these battles.
Well, you know, it's not a new thing.
Look at Weimar Republic Germany.
And Hitler's base, one of his basic motivations was to stop the rot of Weimar Republic Germany.
Oh, absolutely.
See, we need to understand that this is not a new thing.
This is something that Jewish power and influence has been trying to foist on society for decades, not only decades, centuries now.
Over a century now.
If what you said before is true, and it is, these issues should have been dealt with decades ago, but they were not.
So the can has been kicked to us.
So the question is, what now?
And we were talking earlier this hour.
Nobody believes here that Trump is determinist, that Trump is our guy as far as white identitarian issues are concerned.
However, has he been an assist?
Has he provided assists?
I mean, we still debate that.
And I would say yes.
Jared Taylor says yes.
Greg Johnson, Jared Taylor said this is the best week of his presidency this last week with some of these statements that he's made with regards to Somali.
I mean, starting from this point that we're at today, today and right now, and the past being the past and the future being a minute from now and forward, we've got to do something.
What is that?
Well, for what I'm doing is I'm trying to think about problems in a new way that haven't been addressed by others or by many and dissecting the nature of the intellectual problem.
And then that can be taken up by others and you can begin the conversation.
One of the problems, I think, is, again, that, well, I mean, one other thing I've written about is the American tradition has a lot of naive ideas about individualism.
And I don't think our tradition understands things like, you know, social contagion, and particularly with young people, the role that peer pressure plays and all these things.
People have this idea that individuals are just sovereign entities themselves.
And we're all affected and influenced profoundly by what others do and the culture that envelops us all.
And that's one of the things that needs to be understood to fight this.
Because if you don't understand that, and you somehow think that every individual is a sovereign entity themselves, then you have no reason to care about culture.
You have no reason to think about these things.
And that's one of the precepts that I try and write about.
You know, you just have to start the conversation.
And about Trump, I will say that it is a good thing the newsletter, because if Kamal Harris won, she would have crammed the courts with more radical judges.
And the United States government has many lethal instruments that can be used to oppress dissenters.
And I think it would have been game over.
And look what's happened just in the past few weeks.
Ben Shapiro has been exposed as the Israeli shield that he is.
And there's a groundswell of opposition and aversion to Ben Shapiro and people like that.
And so when you buy for time and when you do things like elect Trump rather than Kamala Harris, you're extending the runway.
And that's another thing we have to do is we have to extend the runway as long as possible for events like the outing of Ben Shapiro.
This guy gets it.
This guy, Richard Parker, gets it.
Go, Keith.
Well, the problem is that his primary opponent is now Tucker Carlson, who, if there was ever a guy that minces around the issues, is Tucker.
I mean, he's done better.
I mean, no, there's people who mince around him more than he does.
The thing is, he's got the strong medicine.
He's not Richard Parker Alexander or James Edwards or the regular guests of this program.
But I mean, no, I mean, as far as people at his station, you know, Tucker does better than he's still trying to do.
I watched his interview with Pierce with Piers Morgan, and I thought it was wonderful how he exposed Piers Morgan for the self-hating, genocidal lunatic who prefers curry over the existence of this posterity.
But it was shameful the way that he Tucker Carlson prostituted himself about how, oh, I like Pakistanis and I'm not about race and so on and so forth.
This is the type of mealy mouth intersexualism that defines American conservatism.
And that was a big problem.
But he is opening the minds to mainstream people.
And you must remember that all these things that we're fighting have been indoctrinated in the minds of millions for decades since kindergarten.
And it's very difficult for most people to dispel these things in an instant.
It takes years or decades to crack the code.
And people like Tucker Carlson helped do that.
Now, I agree.
I agree with you on both.
He's both good and could be better.
And there's no doubt about that.
There's no doubt about that.
But let's talk about this.
In terms of deprogramming, in terms of turning things back or turning things forward, however you want to see it, Trump's comments this week do that.
His comments on third world immigration, his comments on Somalians, the things we were talking about in the first place.
He's not going to talk about race directly, but he can talk about third world immigration.
But I mean, this is a benefit to those of us who are beyond conservatism, which is one of your subtitles at your substack, which we'll talk about in just a moment.
But has this week been an assist to those of us who are a bit more muscular than even the president on these issues?
Of course.
And now today there was an incident in Wisconsin where a woman was being antagonized by some Somalis who don't even speak English that well.
She dropped an epithet and gave a middle finger and said some things I can't see on the radio.
And the left is trying to destroy her life.
There's some instance, there's some indication that she has some drug addiction problems or some history with law enforcement.
But there are enough people who are disincentivizing the leftist witch hunt and trying to destroy this woman's life by giving money to her gifts and go.
It's like a Shiloh Hendricks 2.0 incident, which is unfolding just today.
And that's cataloging.
That's why I'm an episode that happened about a month ago.
I didn't hear you there, Richard.
What was that last part?
The name of that woman that spoke out, you know, for the trying to shout out.
That was Shiloh Hendricks, and that was a few months ago.
And another incident happened just today.
They were Somalis as well.
And Trump's, my point is, is that Trump's rhetoric about Somalis and how they're imposters and don't belong there bolsters that groundswell of opposition to Somalians in Minnesota and elsewhere.
So it's definitely an asset.
It's a good thing.
All right.
So when you go to your substack, and folks, I want you all to go there.
This is an interesting guy.
I just waved at Keith on the other side of the desk here at the studio, and I said, this guy gets it.
I mouthed it to him.
Richard, I mean, you and I have been exchanging emails.
I've been reading your articles for months now, but I am really, I got to tell you, I really enjoy this conversation.
Folks, go to the Ravens Call.
Well, thank you.
Theravenscall.substack.com.
When you go there, you're going to find his most recent articles, yes, but they're indexed at the top are a menu of items such as core texts, race against transgenderism, signs of the time, music, books, and film.
The arts are important.
We're going to talk about Beyond Conservatism, which we've been talking about at this segment.
We're going to continue to talk about it when we come back with Richard Parker.
Stay tuned.

News this hour from Town Hall.
I'm Erry Rose.
Republican Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona blames the high cost of goods and services on trillions of dollars in wasteful government spending by the Biden administration.
If you devalue your currency, which is what Joe Biden did when he put out $7 trillion of non-productive cash into the nation, what he did is he devalued our currency, which caused the inflation that you saw under him.
Biggs also says prices rose as a result of the millions of illegal aliens that snuck into this country during the Biden years.
Looking ahead to college costs for American families, starting next year, Trump accounts will be available.
The money will be invested and available to children when they turn 18.
Treasury Department official Luke Petit explains how it works.
All children can set up these accounts beginning the 4th of July next year, but eligible children born during the administration, so that's calendar years 25 through 28, will receive $1,000 contributions from the Treasury, and then the money will be there for parents to claim for their children.
Petit was interviewed on the Salem Radio Network.
Economist Steve Moore has a message for those who criticize America's economy.
There are 7 million job openings in the United States today.
7 million.
So that's near an all-time record high.
So for people who want to work and have a skill, there are jobs out there.
The problem is, as I see it, is that universities are turning out millions of kids who are not capable of doing anything.
Nobody wants to hire anybody with a sociology degree or an ethnic study degree or a psychology degree.
Moore made his comments to the Salem Radio Network.
Republicans in the Indiana Senate are facing threats as President Trump pushes for lawmakers to redraw the state's congressional map.

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.

That's the good stuff, Keith, when cartoons were cartoons, am I right?
Yep, but I go back even further.
We're going to be playing Betty Boop, I Want You for Christmas from the 30s.
That's when you go back.
How far you go back?
I go back even further than that.
What we have for conservatism, the reason I don't abandon the term conservatism, we need to conserve the high culture of whites.
Well, okay, this is okay.
This is a good topic for conversation with Richard.
So Beyond Conservatism, you write at theravenscall.substack.com that this section, Beyond Conservatism, contains essays and other pieces that are best categorized as a criticism or rebuke of mainstream conservatism and its lack of fitness of purpose, advocating for a reactionary right-wing response against liberalism and the evils of the modern world, which is what we thought conservatism was all about, but not in fact necessarily so.
Well, I think at the very least, you got to go back to the 19th century to get really high culture in popular culture.
So, Richard, you got a couple of things here at the top of the list, which I love.
Conservatism defined the ineffectual nature of mainstream conservatism, which I think everybody listening tonight would immediately understand and agree with.
Repudiating Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA, 100%.
A dissident perspective on Veterans Day, 100% as well.
And Memorial Day annoys me because Memorial Day was originally set up for the triumphant union over its victory over the Confederacy.
We had Confederate Decoration Day, but anyway.
So, yes, I mean, conservatism, just take it away, Richard, in any way you want.
Well, it's been said before that the problem with conservatism is that it conserves nothing, but to conserve doesn't mean to protect for all time.
It means to expend in a slow, judicious manner.
There's actually a definition from Oxford Dictionary in the flagship essay in the section which talks about the definition of what it means to conserve.
So, the problem with conservatism may be baked in the cake linguistically.
We don't want to conserve the white race or European culture like potable water that needs to be conserved for consumption.
It needs to be protected and defended for all time, for posterity.
That's not to conserve, that's to protect and defend.
So, I think part of the problem is baked into the cake linguistically.
That's why I consider myself reactionary.
I'm not conservative.
I am a reactionary, and I'm not even sure that the Constitution wields a fitness for purpose on many important matters.
For example, pornography and obscenity.
The Constitution has been an absolute failure in protecting society from that vice and from others.
And so, I'm much more radical than a mainstream conservative.
I am right.
On the other hand, Richard, reactionaries have been no more effective at preserving the past than conservatives have.
What do you say to that?
Well, I think Franco was very successful until he died and didn't put the safeguards in place to stop what's happening in Spain.
Initiate is another one.
I think Singapore is an excellent model for an ideal society, which isn't exactly free.
I mean, they have some brutal punitive measures for people who try to smuggle drugs in and other things.
But even though supposedly you're less free in Singapore, there's a higher freedom where citizens and visitors of Singapore alike can walk down the street without gumstains on the sidewalks, without drug addicts, you know, just hanging about in the streets and sidewalks like you see in Philadelphia and Baltimore and everywhere else.
And so, in many ways, a higher freedom can be achieved through less freedom.
That's a great answer.
And let's go to, again, just to give folks a little bit of a sampling of your buffet there, your intellectual buffet at theravenscall.substack.com.
The Princess Complex, this was a relatively recent, this is a little bit of a departure, but not too much from what we've been talking about.
This is a relatively new article, but it was published last month.
The Princess Complex, a key causal factor in the ruination of white women.
And you have a very provocative collage there of young white women in their present day and age.
What's it all about?
Yes.
It's about the current state of a certain type of middle class and upper middle class white women in this country that fits a certain archetype.
And here's something else is a lot of mainstream sorts, they don't understand how these sorts of things affect everyone else.
If the most desirable young women are doing these things in college and making themselves utterly unsuitable as wives and as future mothers, you're going to be affected by that because it dramatically affects the sexual marketplace in the dating marketplace.
So that's just one example where the cultural milieu that we find ourselves in and cultural trends are going to affect both the individual society in profound incalculable ways.
Where do these things come from?
Keep too busy looking at the collage even out of the follow-up.
I'm trying to figure it out.
But what I'm saying is, where does all this cultural rock come from, Richard?
In this particular instance, I mean, it's not an individual choice because it's a sociological phenomenon.
And for some reason, you know, wealthy and upper-middle-class families as a sociological phenomenon see fit to buy young women $60,000 cards for their 16th birthday.
And from what I read, the average dues of sororities, I don't know if this is true, I just read it in one article, but the sorority dues for Alabama, for example, can total $20,000 a year.
I haven't confirmed that, but I mean, these are just sorts of things that are social norms in this country.
And people don't do them as an individual choice.
They don't do that as individuals.
They do it as a sociological thing, like the school of fish.
And that's one thing that most people don't understand is the power of groupthink and the collective and how people are affected by other people.
And all too often, people do what other people do just as sort of a conformist thing.
So it's definitely built into the culture and society of the United States on a macro level.
I'm just thinking of a situation that I know of.
There's a friend of mine that has three daughters.
And I asked him one time, what's it like getting one of your daughters married?
He said it's like buying a brand-new Lexus and pushing it off a cliff.
Well, you know, this is something else where people talk about homeschooling and things.
There are so many people who try to do everything right.
And yet, you know, an adolescent son or daughter will become enamored with certain horrible elements in the culture and they'll rebel.
That happened with the family that I don't really recommend the site.
It's a little, I find it to be a little vulgar, not to be recommended, but the black family had that with their son.
There's this woman named Ayla, who is an influencer, who is on the whatever podcast.
She was homeschooled from a very Christian, devout family, and she became a cam girl and a high-class escort and all these things and basically left her parents, I think, when she was 17 or 18.
There's no real protection from the culture.
The only way you can really do something about that is to do something at a cultural level because family and all these other things offer some protection, but you need to do something about the culture.
Well, in other words, you have to withdraw from it like become Amish.
Take it back.
I mean, you know, what has been.
No, you need to take it back.
That's what Ayla's family did.
They tried.
They tried to homeschool and insulate the family.
She comes from Idaho.
She wasn't raised in a blue state or anything.
You have to find a way to take the culture back or to at least balkanize society so that you have your own sub-drawn, you know, subculture and own insular communities that are separate and apart from the mainstream culture.
But it's really inescapable.
And too many people don't really know.
Well, it sounds like they tried and failed then, right?
Yeah, but I mean it happened so many times.
I'm actually going to start keeping a catalog of instances where people did everything right as parents or thought they did and things went that way regardless because there's just so many instances that I can't keep.
Well, I mean, you know, you can do everything right and it still go out wrong, but of course, if you don't even try, the odds are even that greater still that actually reminds me if I could do a segue to Leonie Plar.
Sure.
A German woman who disowned her father, who owned a business.
All accounts are he loved her dearly, made the mistake of sending her to university, but it's not like you can stop your adult child from going to university, particularly in Europe where tuition is paid for with people who have merit and deserve to go to college.
That's an instance where you have a traditional, loving German family who came to support the alternative for Deutschland when that came as a party, and she was indoctrinated by the subversive culture milieu that has taken place in Germany regardless, despite them doing everything right except maybe cheating their friend.
Hold on right there.
We're going to come back and then we're going to let you begin again and tell this story with all the time you need.
We have 12 minute segment remaining.
We're going to give it all to you to tell this story of Danny, James's wife, just dropping in again to say hello and to thank you for all you do to keep the work of this program going.
Over the years, we have met so many of you at conferences and events.
Y'all have been such a blessing to me and my family, and most importantly, the cause.

As always, James has put together a wonderful selection of incentive gifts for donors.
But this year, he has finally allowed me to do something creative for you.
I'm very pleased to announce that all donors who contribute to the program this month will receive a homemade Christmas ornament for your tree.
I've been hard at work with a little help, of course, getting them done, and I hope you all like them.
From our home to yours, I want to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Anything that Santa would bring could never come there with you.
I want you for Christmas.
You're a pet money ten, yes, and nothing but you will do.
Oh, I just wrote a letter, and if my wish comes true, you can bet by Jimmy.
You'll come down the chimney with a bag full of you.
I want you for Christmas.
If only Santa does what he should.
I'm knocking on wood.
I have to make good Christmas morning, baby.
I only want you.
Keith, was America better off in 1937 or is it better off now?
Well, you know, it's funny that you should bring that up because Betty Booth was supposedly the quintessential flapper.
And the flapper was this new liberated woman that disregarded traditional mores and whatnot.
So, see, this whole process has been going on for centuries, I would imagine.
All I want to ask is, was America better off in 37 or now?
It was.
Was Germany better off in 37 or now?
Yes, it was.
In fact, Adolf Hitler got Time Magazine's Man of the Year for 1938.
Well, you know, they had to qualify that after the fact and say, it doesn't mean that we like the man of the year.
It just means like he was, you know, blah, blah, blah.
They're lying.
All right.
Well, let's go back to Richard Parker, our guest now.
Richard, I have thoroughly enjoyed this hour and look forward to more.
The Ravenscall.substack.com.
You were telling us the story of Liani Plar.
Tell us all about that.
I think she's propped up.
I don't think it's organic, but she has over 500,000 followers on her main TikTok channel.
I think 70,000-ish on her German TikTok and similar numbers on an Instagram and German language Instagram account.
She's a hardcore leftist.
She's a devout lesbian, even though she had a boyfriend in college who she disparages in her book.
And she's just been indoctrinated by all of the far-left talking points.
And I read her book in German and did some translation work in some ways.
It was a very unpleasant task reading this because of the way that she just completely insults and dishonors her loving family.
Her father in particular, she won't even call him father.
The term she uses is Etzeuger, which is hard to translate in German, but it essentially means bleeder.
It can mean biological father in the context of someone who doesn't have a relationship with his biological father.
And she's just a self-hating German woman who is working toiletly to perfect the abolition of the German people and race.
And her parents did most of the right things that they should do.
I guess you could say they made the mistake of sending their daughter to college.
But I mean, education is a value, and we need to find a way to be able to have young people get a college education without being indoctrinated.
And at the University of Osnabrück, she changed from majoring in law, because law there is a four-year degree, and I think received a degree in gender studies and history and would just continually go to her parents' house to antagonize and pick fights about the migration crisis and this and that.
And she severed all ties with her family.
And when you hear her speak, when you read her book, she doesn't have a single original thought of her own.
It's all NTC boilerplate, things that you've heard a million times before, practically verbatim.
It's programming and indoctrination.
These aren't her ideas.
These aren't things she divines on her own.
They're things installed into her brain by the subversive cultural milieu that has been installed in Germany in the post-1945 era.
Well, you know, Germany had a lot of that going on, you know, even back in the 20s with the Frankfurt School and whatnot.
Oh, absolutely.
You know, there's been a subversive element in driving German higher education for years.
Right.
But the point is that she had a loving, conservative family, supported.
I mean, I haven't been there, so there's always some imperfect information involved, but everything indicates that they loved and supported their daughter, sacrificed so much for her, and yet she succumbed to the cultural programming nonetheless.
You know, there's a lot from that.
And that happens.
I mean, this is where the left reproduces.
They don't reproduce in the womb.
They reproduce in public education.
That's correct.
At the same time, you can do everything right and it come out wrong.
You can do everything wrong and it come out right.
But if you have to put betting money on it, do everything right and take your chances.
But there's always going to be exceptions, and this is one of them.
But I would rather inoculate, you know, as we homeschool.
We're a homeschooling family.
We do all of that.
She obviously was into public education, right?
Well, I mean, she went to the college there.
That's fine as a stopgap measure, but cultural problems require cultural solutions at a macro level at some point, at some point.
And I don't think enough people realize that, and they don't realize the ways that cultural, I mean, you know, people who came of age in the 1920s, most of them like hot jazz music.
If you watch Back to the Future, Lorraine and George, they all liked the music from the youth culture in the 1950s because that was when they were born.
Whereas when Michael Fox plays the heavy metal riff at the end, they don't like it, and they don't like it out of individual choice.
They don't like it because they were born in 1938 rather than 1968.
These are the sorts of things.
What is the alternative?
He has a great line there.
You're not ready for this yet, but your kids are going to love it.
And we got to hope that that applies for hardcore nationalist ideology.
When Buchanan was running for president, he could have said, you're not ready for this, but your kids are going to love it.
And maybe that's where we are now, Richard.
Is it?
Could it be?
Well, I mean, you know, this is the thing, like things like this radio program, what I'm trying to do, what people like Kevin McDonald are trying to do, is we're trying to stoke a counterculture, a subculture that can resist that.
And then you have the community and the group of people necessary to build these flames of ideas stronger and stronger.
And that's what it's about.
Well, what is the alternative to the culture, the corrosive popular culture that we've been encountering for well over a century?
Where can you go to try to counteract the influences of Katy Perry, for example, and things like that?
Well, I mean, you can try and move to places like Idaho, but you have to, in the long run, you have to try and think about ways to unseat the culture that reigns now and develop a new one.
That has to be the long-term plan.
Well, I was going to say very quickly, one place you can go to is the ravenscall.substack.com.
The most popular articles there, going to be of interest to you, what consenting adults do is our concern against miscegenation.
And then Shiloh Hendrix and the defiance of the new liberal social order.
Richard, this is our first conversation, but it will not be our last.
I can see now why Kevin and Ron publish you.
We have a minute remaining in the program tonight.
Thank you all for tuning in on behalf of the entire staff and crew, Don Wassel, who you heard earlier, and everyone else who has been featured tonight.
We thank you.
Our Christmas fundraising drive is underway.
Please respond so we can stay on the air.
But Richard, great debut.
Absolutely stellar.
I want to say one thing.
I want to thank Kevin McDonald for publishing my essays because he's the reason why more people saw what I have written.
And he's been so supportive.
And if he's listening, I just want to tell him thank you.
A dear friend, and I've been working with Kevin for the entire time I've been on.
You know, I was just thinking about the Shiloh Hendrix situation, and I saw that flash up from your website.
And of course, she's been poisoned by the popular culture, too.
She's tatted all up and down.
Yeah, but she's got tattoos.
That's it.
I mean, everything else, she's basically getting them.
Yeah, I mean, you know, that's the only thing I think we could criticize her about.
But it's legitimate.
But everything else, I'd take her being tattooed and for what she believes versus someone without tattoos and being, you know, one of these headlines.
And that's what she's talking about that she was raised in.
I mean, this is what people her age have been, you know, programmed to do from the.
Welcome to Minnesota.
Well, but I mean, everything else, I mean, I'll take a tattoo.
I mean, you know, a lot of our European ancestors did things like that.
But, I mean, it's not a good thing overall.
I see your point, Keith.
But, I mean, still, I'm not going to fault her for that.
The point I think is it's all blended together to such a degree that you're not going to find cultural purity very often.
But it should still be the gold standard or the platinum standard.
Anyway, Richard, finally, a real pleasure.
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and thank you so much for having me on.
Well, we will have you on again soon.
I assure you of that.
I'm going to email you here after the show.
Once our producers get it all posted and it's up in the archives, we'll send you over a copy.
And thank you for anchoring tonight the third hour of the first show of December.
And we will talk to you again soon.
Richard Parker, thanks again.
Follow him on Twitter.
Follow him on Substack.
Go to his Substack and read.
Catch up on some of these articles we've been citing.
There's a lot more that we haven't mentioned.
Thank you again, Richard.
Keith, that's a wrap for tonight.
Yes, sir.
You got it.
Keith, that's a wrap.
And we'll talk again.
A wrap for the first show of December.
We'll be back at it next week.
And the 21st year on air is coming to an end in a couple of more weeks, as they all have done.
But we're going to still get our money's worth.
There will not be a wasted minute.
Everyone still feel young.
We feel like we're on the cusp of something, not looking back.
I read our letter if you got it.
If you're an established owner, read our letter.
We are on the cusp of something new and something big and something that can break through in ways that precious few have, and I don't know if any have in our movement.
