Political Cesspool Insights 00:01:16
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.
What a powerful first hour.
Love that guy.
Great man, great friend, long-term friend, and a great way to start this program tonight as we continue the last day of January.
It is bitterly cold out there for a lot of the South and a lot of the nation.
Heavy ice storms, winter storm, fern, and the Carolinas, North and South, getting just, there's like a blizzard of snow, 16 inches.
I heard a friend of mine in East Tennessee say today, and it's sort of like a hurricane.
So imagine a hurricane, but with snow and 70 mile an hour winds.
I don't know what's going on, but we are lighting it up.
We're keeping it hot on your airwaves this month.
January has been a month to remember.
Biggest Takeaways From Detention 00:09:13
It continues now as we welcome back Christian Sikour.
He is an author, but he's a lot more than that.
Also a J6 hostage, a former activist with the MAGA Revolution who helped organize the groiping of Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk at UCLA.
Christian helped lead the charge to radicalize college Republican chapters across the country in the wake of the COVID lockdowns, heeding the call to assemble at the Capitol on January the 6th.
He defiantly mocked the chair of then Vice President Mike Pence, making him a high-level target of the feds.
After being stalked by NPR and abducted by an FBI SWAT team armed with armored cars and a helicopter, he spent the next four years in various forms of incarceration, including 19 months in federal prison.
During this incarceration, he became a writer for Countercurrents and authored the American Regime for Antelope Hill Publishing.
His writing focuses on the squaring of the circle of traditionalism, cyclical history, and techno-futurism.
An interesting man and guest to be sure, he made his first appearance with us just about a year ago after all those J6 hostages were released.
He's back on tonight for a couple of reasons.
It's one year later, number one.
And number two, his book has now received a second edition printing, newly expanded and revised, very similarly to Kevin McDonald's third edition of The Culture of Critique, all about Antelope Hill Publishing.
And he's with us now.
Christian, welcome back to the program.
Hey, James, it's good to be back.
Well, thank you for coming back.
So before we get to the expanded second edition of your book, The American Regime, let's just go back.
I mean, that is a fascinating intro bio there.
Let's go back to the timeline of all of that, beginning with the events of January 6th.
I mean, you got your hands on the chair of Mike Pence, so you penetrated the people's house pretty deeply.
When did you know you were in trouble after that?
You know, it's funny, when we went into the Capitol, we didn't know that we were really getting in trouble because we spent the past year or so watching Antifa and BLM get away with sometimes almost murder.
I mean, I remember distinctly a BLM person shot a guy in the leg and literally just like walked off scot-free.
Another guy was pepper sprayed and immediately shot a Trump supporter in the face and got scot-free.
So, you know, we thought we were just going to go in for like a sit-in, basically.
And, you know, we left the premises.
And pretty soon after we left, we heard the call that this is an unlawful assembly.
Please disperse.
And, you know, we thought, well, that's a kind enough way to put it.
So I guess we will please disperse.
We got back to our hotel rooms.
And it turns out that, according to the news, we're terrorists.
And that's really when I knew. that we were in trouble.
Because when we left, I distinctly remember, too, when we were leaving the premises with the Capitol, I was telling my friends, you know, maybe we should leave DC and go to Virginia because I don't want to get a $500 fine.
It's a little bit more than that.
And again, I am just rereading your bio.
I mean, what a fascinating read just to go through that, even after all these years.
That is a hell of a story to tell.
Of course, you wrote a book about it.
That's why you're back on again tonight.
I mean, we would have had you back on anyway.
I so vividly remember your first appearance on the show, which was the last week of January of 2025.
So just, you know, days after everybody else got out.
But talk about a little bit, if you can, just in this introductory segment this hour, about how that legal process unfolded and then the punishment, those four years and that, you know, eventually that release.
Well, the punish or the process is the punishment, I've heard my legal friends say, which has really frustrated me about the Trump administration because they understand that and they specifically don't use the process as the punishment for our enemies.
But then when it comes to us, you know, they're perfectly willing to use kangaroo courts and dusty old legal manuscripts from the 1800s to throw the book at their political enemies.
So I think it's suffice to say that, you know, the federal government, I think, has like a 99% conviction rate.
And in these cities now, you know, they're all inhabited by communists.
So really, you have no chance against the U.S. legal system.
It's like a communist kangaroo court, really, throughout the entire United States, especially in urban areas.
So four years in various forms of incarceration, you put it to good use.
That is for sure.
But what a terrible injustice.
I mean, I don't want to relitigate or go back.
I mean, we should never forget that, though, for such relatively minor, if you could even call them offenses at all, to see the federal government go after you and the others who were there that day with hammer and tong.
I can remember talking to, you know, we interviewed on this program, the gentleman who, you know, infamously or, you know, quite funnily, frankly, put his feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk.
He was right across the river from us in Memphis in Arkansas and was a retired volunteer, you know, fireman and all of this.
And, you know, they were basically going to put him away for life at his age.
And nevertheless, when did you begin writing the first edition of the American regime?
At what point during this process?
So I first started writing for countercurrents within a few months of getting out of the detention center when I was initially arrested, which was absolutely the worst.
It was easily an Eighth Amendment violation, but you're never going to win against that, right?
Against the government.
Just like solitary confinement for the first two weeks with no access to any books, only allowed out of myself for three hours a week.
Like I said, solitary confinement for absolutely no reason at all, not even allowed a razor.
But eventually, I was allowed books.
And from there, I began to study scrupulously.
And when I left the detention facility, I started writing for Countercurrents.
And then pretty soon after that, I decided that I wanted to write a book on my ideas on, well, the American regime.
And I began writing that with David Zuddy, who was my initial editor, basically.
Ah, yes.
And yeah, he was there from the beginning.
I greatly appreciate David's help with that because it could have never been accomplished without him.
He was there when the first 10 pages were written before I had a publisher, before really anything.
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't publish that countercurrents as well.
But yeah, pretty soon after I was released from the detention facility, I just started writing because there wasn't really much else I could do under house arrest.
And so here we are now, a year later after the rest of the lot had been released.
What are your biggest takeaways?
And we're going to get to the contents of the original book and how you expanded it.
And this second edition, by the way, go to antelopehillpublishing.com.
I was in touch with Taylor Young, who's such a regular guest on this program.
The second edition is coming out tonight.
So as we broadcast live right now at 8:15 Eastern Time, 715 Central, it is not quite up on the website yet.
But I mean, you're actually hearing the announcement of this second edition being released in real time.
And perhaps even by the end of the program tonight, it will be up on the website.
But if not, mark this space.
And if you're listening in the archives, go to antelopehillpublishing.com.
You're going to get the second edition.
So we're going to compare and contrast the first edition and how the second edition differs from that.
But with a minute to go before we get into all of that, Christian, just your biggest takeaways.
I mean, we could fill an hour with this question alone, but your biggest takeaways from the entire experience from being there that day, being there at Mike Pence's chair through the subsequent four years and writing the book and all the way to this night, the last night of January 2026.
How would you, what are your biggest takeaways looking at it all in widescreen?
Second Edition Highlights 00:02:50
Man, you got me on the spot here.
That's a big question.
I'd say just off the top of my head, the biggest takeaway is that the, well, not just the U.S. government, but the American regime, it's not what you think it is.
It's not a democracy.
You know, I think that we all understand like a big theory at this point, how we don't electronic.
Hold on.
Hold on right there.
Christian, we'll let you answer that further, and we're going to get into the contents of the second edition right after this.
We have to take a quick timeout.
Stay tuned.
God tells us in Hebrews 10, 25 that we should gather together to worship him.

It is the second time total Christian Sikour, former J6 hostage.
The American Regime's Zeitgeist 00:11:20
And he is here to discuss tonight with us the second edition of his book, The American Regime.
The book is done.
It is set to come online and be available for your purchase at antelopehillpublishing.com literally at any moment, perhaps even within the next few seconds.
It will be up.
We're waiting for that and refreshing.
It will be online today, the last day of January 2026.
The book is a, as Antelope Hill itself describes it, a worthy contribution to Western political literature and is indispensable when working to understand the world we live in today.
And so hard to believe that five years have passed since January the 6th, 2021.
We all watched it on TV.
Christian did more than that.
So let's get right back into it, Christian.
The original book has now been expanded to a second edition.
And I know that you have updated, provided updates to all of the chapters, including a brand new essay, which makes for a great discussion topic in and of itself.
So let's begin there with first the new esh, excuse me, the new essay that you've added to this book.
Yeah, so the new essay, I believe it's the nation of Theseus, which I believe is one of my best essays that I wrote for Countercurrents.
And I was given permission to put it in the new book because it's very relevant to the American regime.
And so what I postulate is basically that the United States has become a nation of Theseus when we referencing the boat or the ship of Theseus of ancient Greek legend.
And so the idea is: you know, we have an idea of America really as like an Anglo Anglo-colonial country, right, with the 13 colonies.
But really, the United States hasn't been that, at least since the Civil War, and really probably earlier.
And so the United States keeps on changing to the point where change has just become part of the American identity.
And if change is the American identity, there really is no American identity.
And because of that, it's very difficult for there to be an American nationalism.
And we've seen this with the right-wing America, the nationalists, right, where it's very difficult.
It's kind of like what is a woman, right, from Matt Walsh.
Well, what is America?
It keeps on changing.
It's very, it's like a slime.
It just passes through your fingers.
You can't quite grasp it.
And, you know, with the American regime, a huge thesis of the book was that the United States continuously changes with these foundation myths, right?
You have the original founding, and then you have the Civil War, World War I and II, the Holocaust, civil rights, up until today, where we're currently having our new foundation myth of this new civil rights movement, if you could even call it that.
And the United States is constantly changing and basically allowed for this liberal, I would say libtard regime to formulate out of the colonial United States of 1776, which in reality, you know, the founding fathers were much more right-wing than anyone today.
But for their time, it was a liberal project.
Yes, a wonderful observation there.
And I'm looking at this right now, and it seems like everything pertaining to this book occurs in January.
Of course, January the 6th, 2021, we know about that.
This book was released two years later to the day, January the 6th, 2023.
Last January of 25, you were with us for the first time as a guest right after the release of all of the prisoners in the wake of Trump returning to office.
And then here tonight again, January 2026, we are talking with you for a second time.
You originally wrote the book anonymously.
What led you to the decision to come out and take full ownership of it under your name?
Well, I wasn't legally on the hook anymore.
And like I said, this whole system is just a kangaroo.
They'll use anything against you.
I even stayed off of social media and everything after January 6th.
It didn't matter, right?
I got three times almost what my sentence was supposed to be because the regime, not only do they hate just regular conservatives, but they hate actual right-wing people, futurists, reactionaries, people who are on the avant-garde of the right-wing, who aren't just your average bear in terms of anti-government populist sentiment.
And yeah, that didn't help me at all.
And I didn't want to have anything else tied to me before I was sentenced, which, you know, despite that, I was still sentenced to an insane sentence by a Republican judge, by the way.
So just goes to show you all the things that are happening today that the Republicans are like, they're worse than the Democrats, honestly.
They're just controlled opposition.
I don't know how you can deny that.
I'm not voting Republican this cycle, and I probably never will again.
Excuse me, Christian, I'm so glad you brought that up because that's a great difference of opinion with this audience.
I mean, you know, across the board, some agree with you.
Some will be even harder against them than that.
And some, of course, are going to be more favorably.
And I have voted for Trump myself three times.
But I do want to talk to you about that in the final segment tonight.
But again, we are waiting any moment now.
The second edition of The American Regime by Christian Sikour will be released at antelopehillpublishing.com at noontime today.
The editorial team at Analope Hill wrote that it should be up and available by the time of the show.
So they are racing to get this up here in real time.
I'm going to read, though, first for you folks, the back page of the book, and this is what it reads.
The American Regime by Christian Sikor.
After being targeted by the federal government in the wake of the events on January the 6th, 2021, the author of the American Regime delves into the study of history, philosophy, and politics to answer the singular question of our time.
What precisely is the nature of the evil that now openly rules over America and, through the American Empire, the broader world?
The great irony of our time is that while more Americans than ever understand that they live under an oppressive regime, the number of theories about the nature of that oppression and about who exactly it is that is oppressing us has only multiplied.
Once one steps past the simple acknowledgement that the United States is no longer the land of the free, disagreement abounds.
Christian Sikor sets forth to confront the most prominent theories of political power, searching for a single coherent understanding capable of describing the nature of the modern Leviathan.
With that goal, he challenges widely held assumptions about history, power, decline, and collapse, identifying where others have gotten it right and filling in the gaps where they have failed to identify a necessary element.
In an era of lies and tyranny, the truth will indeed set us free, but only if we can identify what passes for truth is often little more than the blind leading the blind.
Analope Hill Publishing is proud to present the American regime.
This fascinating analysis of power in modern America is a worthy contribution to Western political literature and an indispensable asset when working to understand the world we live in today.
Now, Christian, I read that at this point in our conversation because you just mentioned your reticence to vote Republican again.
When you're talking about the American regime and you're talking about all of that, and I just read that back page, that makes sense because you're talking about, I guess, at the time you wrote this when the Biden administration was in office.
They were the ones who went after you, put the J-6 people in prison, Trump let them out.
However, you're looking at it from a scope a lot wider than just that singular event, I'm sure.
And, well, continue with your thoughts there.
So the American regime is not, I guess, confined to Democratic regimes.
I think I'm inferring that probably pretty accurately.
Yeah, so it's both the Republicans and the Democrats.
It might be a little bit more complicated than just calling it a uni party, but it's, I would call it maybe a uni zeitgeist, where the Democrats are one element of the spirit of the American regime, and the Republicans are another element of the spirit of the American regime.
And so the Democrats, they will promise, let's say, you know, socialism or, you know, free health care, free all this stuff for the working class, right?
It's a very like boilerplate proletarian working class gimme's.
When in reality, I mean, they do have that kind of stuff to the extent where it keeps a certain segment of the population reliant on the government.
But really, what they're about is degenerating the culture of the United States.
That's the thing that they'll die on the hill for.
Whereas the Republicans, you know, they claim that they're going to be socially conservative and be pro-family, whatever that's supposed to mean, because the Republicans aren't going to do anything for young men to find jobs.
They're not going to do anything to help you take care of your children.
They're not going to do anything to make a one worker household viable.
So they don't give you anything in that front, but what they do do is they allow for corporate welfare.
So they allow for the corporations to accumulate power so that they can box normal people out of having any power over American life.
So this actually meshes perfectly into one regime and one spirit, which I guess you could call it neoliberalism or neoliberalism is probably the best way.
Progressivism.
But the thing is, am I allowed to talk about the you know who's?
You could certainly do that, but do it after the break because I hear the music now.
Yes, we are no stranger to the discussion of Jewish parent influence.
Even on these AM airwaves here on AM 1600, we'll be right back with Christian Sikour, former January 6th hostage.
The American regime is his book.

Folks, I think it's such a fascinating bio.
I'm going to read it again.
I've never read the same bio twice in an hour, but we're going to do it.
For Christian Sikour, the former activist.
He helped with the MAGA Revolution, who helped organize the groi period of Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk at UCLA.
Talk about being behind enemy lines and lead the charge to radicalize college Republican chapters.
God's work indeed, ladies and gentlemen.
And heeding the call to assemble at the Capitol on January 6th, certainly a fateful day to be sure.
He defiantly mocked the chair of Mike Pence, making him a high-level federal target after being stalked by National Public Radio and abducted by an FBI SWAT team armed with cars, armored cars, and a helicopter.
Christian Sikour spent the next four years in various forms of incarceration, including nearly two years in federal prison.
During this time, he made good use of it.
That's for sure.
He became a writer for Countercurrents, our good friends Greg Johnson and David Zutty, and authored The American Regime with Antelope Hill.
And that's what we're talking about tonight.
So the first book came out on January the 6th, 2023.
We are now celebrating and telling you about the second edition, which is going to come out any minute.
Antelope HillPublishing.com.
I know it's imminent because this morning the first edition was available for purchase.
They've already taken that down.
The second edition is going to come up anytime.
If you're listening to this live, keep refreshing your browser.
If you're listening to this in the archives anytime after tonight, I will bet you a dollar to a donut it will be available for sale.
The American regime second edition by Christian Sikour.
Talk about a guy who's been there and done that.
This is a guy who could talk about J6, that's for sure, and a lot of other things.
And he does in his book, antelopehillpublishing.com.
So we talked a little bit, Christian, with you in the first segment, the first half hour rather, about the new essay.
Let's talk about some of the other expanded contents of this second edition.
I know you've kind of gone back and added a little bit to pretty much every chapter.
What are some of the things you added?
And what really inspired you to take Quill and Ink to hand again and rework this book?
Hell, you know, when the first edition came out, you know, I thought it would be perfect.
And then I've read it a few times ever since it was published.
I probably read the book like over 10 times at this point, just like constantly critiquing and just combing over every word.
And there were just a few things that stuck out to me that were just like, you know, this doesn't flow right, or I have a better quote or a better source.
And I've learned a lot since then.
You know, when I wrote the book, you know, I was a feel like a pretty good student in political science at a decent university.
And then, you know, when I went to home confinement and did nothing but read about this stuff all day, I felt like I was qualified to write a book on my thoughts.
But after prison, you know, reading maybe like three books, or sorry, a book every three days on average, just like absolutely binging all the great works that I always wanted to read.
I went back to the book and I was like, you know, this could be a lot better now.
And so I made it a lot better.
I made the flow better.
I made the sources better.
I added sections that needed to be there for context.
I cleared things up.
And, you know, the whole point of the book, really, is to be able to make an argument that, you know, we already kind of know about in terms of the power of the you know who's of the banking, of finance, of the university system, the cathedral, as the NRX people call it.
How all these things interplay.
But the book is really kind of a, it's like a very simple yet elegant breakdown of how all these things interact with each other.
To where, you know, if you if you have these ideas down, it's pretty difficult for someone to say, oh, that's just a conspiracy theory, right?
I meticulously list as many sources as need to be stated for any reasonable person to say, okay, there's a pattern here.
And the second edition just does that better.
And I'm really proud of it.
I like it a lot more than the first edition.
I'm excited to see it come out.
And yeah, I think we did a great job on it.
Well, I'm excited about it.
I can't wait to read it.
And as I'll often say to my audience, I never asked them to do something I'm not willing to do myself or that I have not done already.
And as soon as this becomes available for purchase, I'm going to head over there and put one on my card.
And I look forward to it, Christian.
And so just to give us some specific examples then of, I mean, we did talk about that new essay, but what are some other things that you felt needed to be added to this specifically to constitute and bring about the second release?
Well, you know, I haven't read the second edition since I actually sent it off to Antelope Hill quite a while ago, pretty early last year.
But what I will say is almost all the typos are fixed.
And of course, as a writer, I won't blame the editors or Antelope Hill for the typos.
Although that's obviously my fault as the writer, but I tried to clear all of those up.
I added more sources.
Certain things were unsourced.
And I felt that, or me and the publisher felt it was necessary to improve the arguments to have as many sources as possible to be able to strengthen the arguments of the book.
Like I said, I made the flow better.
Some things were stated accidentally more times than they needed to be, which created kind of awkward paragraphs.
So I would just say that the second edition is honestly superior in every way.
I wouldn't have bothered with the second edition if I didn't feel that it was necessary.
And thoroughly expanded.
So there's a lot of new content.
If you got the first edition, what are they going to get this time that they haven't already read?
And by the way, if you didn't get the first edition, then you definitely need to get this one.
But if they did read the first edition, how much more content are they getting here?
And I just want to say before you answer that question, after working with Antelope Hill Publishing the last few years as we have here in partnership on this radio program, they are prose pros.
They are very methodical.
They take their time.
They get it right.
They are perfectionists.
They obsess over detail.
And even if it puts them behind their own arbitrary production schedule, they do not mind making it take a little longer to get it perfect.
And so it's a great marriage there.
I mean, they are just a wonderful publishing house.
But again, if they read it the first time, what extra content are they getting this time?
I mean, there's the article, which I think is a really good supplement to the book.
There's definitely more pages now.
I don't remember how much longer the new edition is, but it is definitely longer.
There's more necessary context.
You know, the new edition was written, I think, like two, maybe more years after the first edition.
So there's a lot of context and content that I couldn't get to because it hadn't even happened yet, right?
And I'm proud to say that of all that new context, I kept on coming back to it.
And you can see in like the footnotes where I comment on certain things that happen after the facts, right, with the first edition.
Like I'd make a prediction and then in the second edition, I come back with like a little footnote in the second edition and say, yeah, this happened.
Or like this was borne out by such and such event that happened after the first edition came out.
And yeah, I'm proud to say that, you know, it holds true to what we're seeing today.
Absolutely.
Sometimes I'll be like on the Twitter timeline, which I quit Twitter because the algorithm is just horrible now.
But I'd be on the Twitter timeline and I'd see some things and make me second guess some of my theses in the book.
And I'd be like, man, was that actually correct that I put in the book?
And then like a month later on the macro scale, I was like, okay, that was just a fluke.
It actually all holds up.
Like, you know, the new trend of Trump chickens out, right?
Like, I pulled no punches to the Trump administration and their weakness.
And it just kept being borne out over and over again that Trump is not the, I say he's not the lion, but he sold himself to be in the book.
Why Trump Chickens Out 00:15:19
That's exactly.
That's exactly what we're going to spend the last segment this hour talking about.
I think it would be very fascinating to hear you as a J6er who, you know, certainly, you know, you and your compatriots that day would probably be more favorable to Trump than most.
And I am favorable.
I don't want to split hairs here and sort of play both sides.
I voted for him three times.
I still see him certainly more favorable than a lot of elements of our ranks here in our collective, and perhaps not as much as some, but certainly much more than others.
We'll get to all that.
The music's about to play.
So with just seconds remaining before we have that discussion, again, the book is The American Regime, the expanded second edition coming available for your purchase tonight, sometime tonight, at antelopehillpublishing.com.
Big screen.
Before the music plays, Christian, big takeaways, what do you want people to get after reading this book?
What's the biggest single thing you want them to consider or walk away from having learned after they read the second edition of the American regime?
I want you to realize that there is no political solution in what the two-party system would like you to believe there is.
They want to string you along as long as they can, like salesmen, when in reality, no one's going to save you.
See, I mean, you know, when you write this as a J6 prisoner, the American regime, the evil Biden administration, and it was evil.
The Harris Waltz administration would have been evil and a zero for us.
But it's not to say that everything's been solved just because you have a Republican administration.
That's the conversation we're going to have next with Christian Support.
Stay tuned.
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.

The runner-up third takes a short lead.
Elwood glances over.
Now back to the plate he sets the pitch.
It swung on strike three.
They've won it.
They have won it.
World champions.
Jim, what's it like down on the field?
Jim, it's a madhouse down here.
I'm trying to get to Bob Elwood with the winning picture.
Bob, Bob, how does it feel?
Winning the seventh game on a strikeout.
Yeah, I thought he'd be looking for a slider, so I came on with my fastball.
World champions!
Is this the greatest moment of your life?
Absolutely not.
Jim, the best moments for me are breakfast with the kids, long walks with my wife, just holding her hand, you know?
Marriage, you're never too far apart when you're still holding hands.
From your neighbors, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Jim, when was the last time you held your wife's hand?
Well, it's been a while.
I tell you, you need to step up to the plate, Jim.

We're back with Christian Sikor, the author of The American Regime Expanded Second Edition, will soon be, and I mean any moment now, available for your purchase at antelopehillpublishing.com.
If you're listening to this archive anytime after January the 31st, go there now and make your purchase.
What are you even doing if you're not ordering this book at antelopehillpublishing.com?
Christian, I do want to get into current events with you because I think it's a fascinating thing, very interesting to have a Jay Sixer on to talk about Trump.
I would hazard a guess that most J Sixers are very favorable of Trump for obvious reasons because they would still be in prison without him.
There's no doubt about that.
We, and we talked about this a lot in December, in my capacity as a contributor to the American Free Press newspaper, I assembled a panel of 14 different lifers in our movement.
Seven here in the United States and seven abroad.
We had Dr. Virginia Abernathy, Peter Brimilow, Reverend Jim Dahlson, Andrew Fraser, Paul Fromm, Brad Griffin, Nick Griffin, no relation, Ruben Callop, Jason Kessler, Kevin McDonald, Sheriff Richard Mack, Jose Nino, Sasha Ross Mueller in Germany.
Those 14 contributors, seven home, seven abroad.
The question was singular.
Assess the first year of Trump's second administration.
And the contributors rated Trump's performance at seven out of 10 on average, which, again, it could be very good.
I mean, seven out of 10 does seem very good, very high.
I mean, if you went to my school in high school, that would have been a D minus.
Anything less than a 70 was a failing grade.
So, you know, take it for what you will.
But I would ask you this, because again, your perspective as a J Sixer is very interesting to me on that question.
And I think I know how you're going to answer it.
But just, you know, very quickly, how would you assess?
It's been a year since we last talked to you, a year into Trump 2.0.
How do you assess Trump's first year of his second administration?
And do you view it today differently than you did a year ago today?
So as for the first question, I think that somewhere in between a D and a C is in order.
And I definitely view the administration differently from a year ago.
I was a lot more optimistic about the administration a year ago.
He came out with all these executive orders, including pardoning the J Sixers, which was a strong start, but then very quickly it became pretty disappointing.
And like I said, the Trump chickens out.
I'm very happy that that's kind of become mainstream because that really is the theme of the Trump administration, the second Trump administration, is Trump always chickens out.
And it doesn't seem accidental anymore.
At some point, you have to say, if he really was an orange buffoon, sometimes he would fumble the ball towards us, right?
So that's my position.
Quite disappointed.
Obviously better than Joe Biden, but quite disappointed.
So again, how much do you believe that what's happened in Minnesota over the course of this month?
And again, it has been a blister, as cold as the temperatures are and as much snow and ice as the South has been under in the last two weeks, it has been a blistering hot start to our broadcast calendar in 2026 because of the events of January.
I mean, you started off with Venezuela, and then you move into the situation in Minnesota.
I mean, January has not wanted for hot topics to discuss.
And it seems like all the breaks are going against us and the application of the power of this administration.
You're looking, how much has this month sort of sullied your view?
Do you view Trump differently now than you would have 30 days ago, Christian?
Well, it's not, yes, first of all, but it's not just Trump that has disappointed me in this aspect.
You know, we have people on the so-called dissident right who are trying crocodile tears over dead, lived-hard lesbians, which, you know, I've been off the timeline.
I've been off the timeline for a few months.
So this is just like completely inexplicable to me.
But as for Trump as well, you know, I find it very, I find it very curious that he would go about the situation in exactly the worst possible way to make it so that even moderates who up until now were vast majority wanted all illegal aliens deported.
He went about it in the exact way that would make it to where the left would have some sympathy, which, you know, if you know anything about the Republican donor base, you know, they love illegal immigration because they love their slaves.
They love their factory and farm workers that they can pay under minimum wage.
So, you know, I don't want to get, I don't want to be too like hewing on conspiracy like tinfoil hat, but, you know, I do find that very concerning.
Well, there's no doubt about it.
I mean, I wish he'd have gone in there and crushed them.
And we were talking about this with Sam Dixon in the first hour.
We've had a retired police officer the last two weeks.
I mean, this has dominated the last three weeks of programming here.
And of course, we have to roll with the punches of current events as well.
And we do.
But yes, I mean, as a guy who's voted for Trump three times, and I do, as a white nationalist, I do view him generally favorable.
I think there's a lot of reasons for that.
I think there's a reason that 14 lifers in our cause have, you know, gave him a seven, you know, 7.4 rating.
I think it was 7.4 for the American respondents in that assessment that we did for the paper and 6.8 for the international respondents.
But nevertheless, it leveled out to be about 7.1.
But all that having been said, I just don't see, I can't find an angle to say that, man, he really just deftly threaded the needle in Minneapolis, and we're all the better for it.
It looks like a big fumble.
As you say, I like how you put it a moment ago.
The ball never gets fumbled in our direction.
And I think people would have respected and support perhaps would have been even higher had he gone in there with a stone-cold fist and just rolled over these people.
But the way he handled it was the worst of both worlds.
At least, and that's, again, coming from a guy who sees him more favorably than someone in our circles.
Right.
Imagine how great the clips would have gone over of like blue-haired freaks getting pepper sprayed by ICE people.
Meanwhile, we have videos of ICE people harassing ICE officers, and they just, what, run away with their tail in between their legs like scared little puppies?
It's pathetic.
And people want a strong horse, and this is not a strong horse.
Well, I mean, how does this portend, you know, again, how much faith should white advocates put in conventional politics?
I mean, that's another whole question in Republicans versus Democrats and red versus blue.
I mean, there's no doubt it does make some difference.
And I will say to my dying breath that the last 10 years, our ideas have proliferated.
And at some point, you have to give some credit to the guy that was in the captain's chair during that decade.
And that was Trump, whether it was because of him or in spite of him or, you know, whether he did it inadvertently or whatever.
I mean, as a guy who's been in this since 1999, and I'm 45 years old.
I've been in this since I was 19.
You know, certainly I feel as though things have moved in our direction in a lot of ways in the last 10 years.
However, that's not to say that all the breaks aren't going to go back.
And if the pendulum swings back to them, they know how to wield power.
You see it in the state of Virginia.
The left will not make the mistakes that Trump is making if he's making mistakes at all and not just a Trojan horse.
I mean, we can have that conversation.
But if the left gets back in, you better have your affairs in order because there's going to be no mercy.
And that's what we wanted from him.
That's what we elected him for.
We elected to get them all out.
They all have to go back.
That has certainly not been the case.
And he's dwindled his political capital.
And we're going into a midterm.
And we're in retreat right now.
This administration's in retreat right now, at least tonight.
Yeah, I mean, as far as I can see, the Republicans, their mission is basically just to run out the clock on white people in the United States.
Whether the Republicans say that in 2028 or 2032, the Democrats are eventually going to get back into power, and they're going to wield power when they get back into power.
It's just a matter of how white the United States is going to be when they do.
And if it's under Republican administration, I mean, like it or not, with legal immigration, if the Republicans win, the United States will be less white when the Democrats re-enter into power and actually wield that power, which is inevitable.
Well, that was the thing.
I mean, we were hoping.
I guess we were hoping to the extent, and again, I don't want to get into this whole, I get it.
The Republicans are not our friend.
The Republican Party is not our friend.
The duopoly, I mean, you know, I'm a Southerner.
The Republican Party hadn't been our friend.
This is Lincoln's party.
But, I mean, it has changed a little bit.
Under Trump, there has been some good.
We have been able to talk about these issues, and there has been a big change.
And I've given speeches about this at Amran a couple of years ago, and we've talked about it on this program.
The entirety of the Trump era, there has been some good that has happened for white people.
We're not going to relitigate all of that tonight.
That's not the purpose of this.
However, right now, and things could change next week.
I mean, we could come back a week from now.
Wow, we didn't see that coming.
And man, we're really rolling again.
I just don't know.
But I'm going to say that politics is a tool.
There might not be a political solution, but politics is just one tool in the arsenal for a political and metapolitical movement.
And the Democrats knew that.
You know, when the new left started to gain traction, you know, LBJ wasn't a new Democrat, but the new Democrats eventually were able to seize power.
So we could use politics, of course, but I don't think that we're ever going to get that 50% of the United States electorate to vote exactly how to bond.
While we breathe, we hope.
The Latin motto turned into the South Carolina license plate.
But yes, I mean, so long as our people breathe, we have a chance, and we believe in that here at TPC.
Let's Make It A Tradition 00:00:16
