Feb. 8, 2026 - The Political Cesspool - James Edwards
54:32
Radio Show Hour 2 – 2026/02/07
Lou Moore and Keith Alexander on The Political Cesspool warn Trump voters must mobilize to stop impeachment, framing midterm stakes as existential for Western civilization amid demands for mass deportations and election integrity. The SAVE Act (in-person voting with photo ID) and cutting welfare funds to blue states like Minnesota—where Trump’s actions allegedly alienated donors—are key, with Alexander proposing secessionist tactics to bypass federal courts. Moore advocates raiding businesses, targeting banks, and enforcing E-Verify in red states like Texas, while criticizing past failures like Virginia’s abandoned Doge initiative. Parallels drawn to Europe’s citizenship expansions (Sweden, Spain) and EU’s migration deals underscore global demographic threats, linking fraud, immigration, and Supreme Court battles over Puerto Rico/D.C. statehood. Despite elite resistance—including the Israel lobby—they argue public support for deportations and voter ID signals irreversible cultural shifts. [Automatically generated summary]
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.
Well, welcome back, everybody, as we refocus and reset here.
If you were listening to the first hour and you know or have any idea even about the kind of people we were talking about, consider yourself lucky that there are programs like this who can bring to your attention guests like Lou Moore for very serious analysis and prescient commentary about the issues of the day.
I mean, this is what I thought you were supposed to do if you had any sort of reach or influence.
Apparently, you know, not if you're younger.
But thankfully, I was born when I was born and I do what I do and I came of age when I did.
And I'm here with you tonight.
And Keith Alexander is joining us via phone this evening.
We'll be back in the studio together next week for the annual Valentine's Day show with the ladies.
But first, right now, this hour with Lou Moore, Lou making his first appearance of 2026 to, well, discuss current events, of course, things in the news.
Lou doesn't need an introduction after these last two or three years together, but he is a, as I said, a prescient political commentator who served as Ron Paul's presidential campaign manager and spent years in Washington as a congressional chief of staff.
Lou, thank you for being back with us tonight.
We last had you on during the Christmas season.
Back to work in 2026.
Here we are.
Yes, indeed.
Well, thanks, James.
Thank you, Keith, as well.
Yeah, so very interesting events, as they usually are coming into our midterm, but particularly everything seems to be on the line for so many people.
And of course, a lot of people have decided to abandon Trump because they think everything's on the line and he's selling them out and the world will go down to tubes.
But Trump is definitely coming to a fork in the road, James, because on one side, he has promised mass deportations and must have the MAGA base come out in this midterm election if he's going to avoid impeachment next year.
But at the same time, he's been trying to keep the business lobby happy and say, well, we really don't want to send those ice ages around to your place of business.
And, you know, they've kind of been dinking around with these one-off snatches of people in the street and the bad optics, so to speak, in Minneapolis.
So anyway, he's coming to a fork in the road and he's going to have to make a decision.
And of course, the congressional people are all telling him he's got to play it very safe.
You know, pull out of Minneapolis.
You know, let's not do these things that get the left all riled up.
Let's not do things that get our donors riled up.
And, you know, and part of that is the Congress, the Congress is still raising money and getting elected in the old way.
They depend on corporate America to get in office.
Trump got elected pretty much, pretty much the newer way through social media, through millions of individual donations coming across the internet.
And, you know, that wasn't completely true with Marion Adelson, Elon Musk, et cetera, but to a great degree, it was.
The Congress is far behind that.
Most people don't even know who their congressman is.
They don't donate to campaigns.
And people running for Congress look to the corporation.
So the Congress is very nervous.
But at the same time, the Congress has to have MAGA voters to come out to get reelected this year.
So as I say, we're coming to a fork in the road as far as what issues are going to be emphasized and what Trump actually does as president to save Western civilization.
So I want to ask you one follow-up question to that, just as we reframe the conversation and sort of look at this in a healthy way.
I don't know any other word to use than that, but healthy.
And then we'll get Keith engaged and we'll have a three-dog night here because it has been cold.
It has been cold.
But, you know, so again, Lou, as we were talking about during the break, it's so many people, this is just natural.
It's not, you know, good or bad.
It is what it is.
Most people can't see beyond the current news cycle.
So, you know, you're only as good as your last action.
And so Trump's action in Minnesota, we've been talking about that for the last three or four weeks on this program, you know, what was going on in Minnesota.
Not his best hour, not his best moment.
I don't think it was a good look.
I don't think that was handled well at all by any angle.
Terrible.
Everybody's just saying, you know, this is the end.
He finally pulled off the mask.
Obviously, he was controlled by opposition.
Obviously, he was never with us.
Obviously, everything that, you know, any good that was done was fool's gold.
But moving beyond that, as bad as it was, that was not the full picture of the last year and a half, or you know, year now, year and change, or the last 10 years even.
And so let's talk about what Steve Bannon had brought to your attention, Lou.
And I'll go back and find that.
Trump is developing an office of remigration and will use tariffs to get receiving countries to play along.
So bring us back into focus.
Minneapolis, not good, but bigger picture, where are we?
Yeah, well, where we are, James, is that the Trump voters have to come out in this election.
Trump has to deliver in some way on his promise of mass deportation.
And he's scrambling now to figure out different ways to accomplish that.
And one of them is reviving something he brought up last June, which was an office of remigration in the State Department.
But now my understanding is he's got Peter Navarro working on this to figure out ways to use tariffs to force countries to cooperate and to be involved in a remigration program.
And, you know, how far this goes, I don't know.
But I'll tell you one thing, James.
In the Bush era, would we be talking about an office of remigration?
I mean, the playing field is just quite open now for us as far as what we can communicate, how we can raise awareness with people.
And the other thing is, I'll point out that a lot of these civic nationalists, a guy like Bradley Fayer is an example.
If anybody in the audience knows who he is, he's an intellectual that's been connected to Claremont Institute, connected to Trump, connected to Frank Gaffney, Committee on the Present Danger, a lot of these more establishment but MAGA-orientated conservatives.
I mean, he's got an article out now saying Trump has to save Western civilization.
He just absolutely has to do it.
And if you read through this article, there's a kind of a migration going on between civic nationalism to ethno-nationalism.
It's happening.
It's happening.
And some people say, oh, just an article, who cares about that?
This is the guy that has Trump's ear.
This is a guy that has the ear of people like Dee Bannon, who's close to Navarro, who does tariff policy for the United States of America.
I mean, how far this will go, this particular idea about an office of remigration, I'm not certain.
But Trump's got to come up with stuff like this to keep his base fired up enough to go out there and get these terrible off-year Trump voters.
They're the worst of any segment in the voter file.
The worst voters to bring out if Trump is not on the ballot is his voters.
And so they got to come up with something.
And, you know, they're going to probably, it's going to be a come to Jesus moment with the business community.
That's why I say there's a fork in the road.
They may have to go with e-verify.
They're going to have to start raiding places of employment that, you know, the clock is ticking here.
And all the Republican leadership is saying, oh, no, don't do that, Trump.
They're touting how much money they're raising.
The NRCC, the NASA Republican Congressional Committee, they're talking about that they've got $200 million, which is an unheard of amount at this point.
But, you know, they can flush all that down the toilet if they don't have an issue set that brings out MAGA nationalist conservative voters.
I mean, that's what they got to have at the end of the day.
So this is going to be very interesting to see how this develops.
Keith, jump in on this.
Well, I take a little bit different approach.
I'm kind of like Yogi Barrett, who said, if you come to a foreign road, take it.
I think we're going to, there's a way to fight this thing that doesn't involve basically, you know, it's all outreach to our people.
Our problem is to stop fraudulent voting.
That's what the whole raison d'etre of the Voting Rights Act of 65 was to legitimize proxy voting on behalf of reluctant black voters.
And they've been doing this for, what, 70 years now almost, or 60 at least.
And what we need to do is pass that SAVE Act and really, you know, all the voting needs to be on the day of the election in person with a picture ID.
All right, hold on right there.
If we did that, we could win.
See, that actually our problem is being our enemies, not us.
Hold on right there.
We'll be right back.
Keith, we'll give you the opening word in this next segment and let you toss it back to me.
Stay tuned, everybody.
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.

You love hearing from Lou Moore.
We love hearing from Lou Moore, and we get him on as often as we can.
He was on with us back just before Christmas once again with Steve King in that particular episode, Congressman King.
And he's back with us tonight.
That's exactly right.
Back for the first time with us in 2026, but certainly not the last here this first Saturday in February.
But if you want more of Lou Moore, all you got to do is go to libertynewsradio.com.
He is part of the Liberty News Radio family, as are we here on TPC.
And you can find his hour of decision, libertynewsradio.com.
Go down to the roster of programs carried by this radio network.
And the most recent hour of decision was just yesterday talking about Eisenhower, communist gains, and fake containment.
Lou has a great, always a great show, whether it be on current events or things more historical in nature, as this most recent episode was.
But you can find it at libertynewsradio.com or just go to louemore.com, L-E-W-M-O-O-R-E dot net.
Isn't it dot net?
Liberty News Radio Update00:12:16
Always get that wrong.
It's dot net.
Loumore.net.
North.com.
It's louemore.com.
Lou, as I see louemore.com, folks.
What are you doing if you're going to lumore.net?
It's louemore.com.
I'm there.
It's bookmarked on our daily reads.
But anyway, if I could plug one more thing I'm doing, because it's exactly what Keith, the topic he opened up with.
I'm also the editor of another website.
It's called SecureVote.news.
And I do a show with Lowell Nelson, who's on Sam Busman's show as a regular.
We do a show every Tuesday at 11.15 a.m. Eastern Time talking about nothing but election integrity issues.
And I completely agree with Keith.
And this is the other piece.
It's not even the reality of having election integrity.
It's the perception and the base that Trump is really going to fix this this time.
That is almost, or it's of equal importance as his making a good faith effort on mass deportations.
And of course, they're joined at the hip.
Anyway, I'll let Keith make the point he wanted to, but I completely agree.
Lumore.com, everybody, though.
It's not com.
Go ahead, Keith.
Okay.
Yeah, I think that we need to look at what is doable in light of the fact that basically the only real answer, the only long-standing answer, the only thing that will settle things is secession.
You know, we just don't need to be in the same country with people like those in Minnesota or in Massachusetts or in New York City.
And I would like to provoke the left into thinking secession is their idea.
They get so much grief from the Trump administration that they say, this is it, we're leaving.
And I say, don't let the door hit you in the ass when you do.
Okay.
What we need to do, rather than giving them these, you know, Kodak moments in front of national news media, like Predi and whatever her name was, that girl, was her name, Rufa, some of the, but anyway, what we need to do is just shut off the water.
Say that if all of these left-wing places like California and Minnesota have massive welfare fraud and just cut off all the welfare money, saying until you straighten this thing out, you're not going to get any more of this money.
And I mean, that's going to hit them where they live.
And that's not going to provoke the Kodak moments and whatnot, but it's going to hit them.
Okay.
And it's going to provoke them.
And I think they'll, you know, they'll show themselves being on the side of the welfare fraudsters.
And that will be a good thing.
Also, when it comes to enforcement, you know, there are separate federal courts for all sorts of different things.
You have a separate set of federal courts for bankruptcy, for taxes, and for immigration.
Immigration judges are real easy to put in place.
And he can basically beef up their area of effect by coming in there and saying that basically what they can do is rule on whether somebody should stay here or go out of the country.
And also, they can also enforce the issue of whether or not protesters are obstructing justice.
Okay.
Those are the two things that they can do.
You can put your own people in there and clear it out rather than having to worry about Judge Bozberg or some of these leftist Jewish district courts and circuit court judges that have been such an impediment to him.
That's what needs to happen.
We need to get something into effect that will work and will sidestep all of the blockade.
So a lot of people have said that one of the reasons that Trump has been doing so much in the foreign policy arena is because he can't get anything done in the domestic arena.
And I think there's truth to that.
Well, I mean, it's always been true with presidents that they love to go overseas.
At one time, it was almost an instant bump in their approvals, no matter what they did, particularly if they started some kind of a conflict or they landed troops briefly or they bombed something or whatever.
I'm not so sure that that isn't nearly as much true as it used to be, but it is true, Keith, that the president has freedom of action in foreign policy.
Yeah, the Hague isn't going to do anything effective.
Yeah, the Hague isn't not going to do anything.
The ICC, the International Criminal Court, or the ICJ, International Court of Justice, they can flatten the gums, but they're not going to have the effect that a U.S. district court like Judge Bozberg can have.
All right, but did you see any of Keith's prescriptions becoming written by Dr. Trump here?
We're in year 10 of 12 of the guaranteed Trump experience years.
And Lou, I mean, still, though, with the Voting Rights Act coming up for review under the Supreme Court, and this now, as you're here to talk about tonight, this proposed Office of Re-Migration, even after the Minneapolis fumble, do you, Lou Moore?
And again, why are we asking Lou Moore?
Well, because he's a political animal.
I mean, he has been there at the highest levels as a congressional chief of staff.
He's more, not Lou Less.
Jack Metcalf.
I mean, he knows Washington.
I mean, he knows politics.
He's a serious commentator and observer.
Do you still believe in year 10 of 12 of Trump that there is hope that there is going to be more concrete action on our issues, even in the wake of Minneapolis?
That's the question, Lou.
Oh, yeah, I totally do.
I mean, will it be to the magnitude that we need?
I mean, this is the situation, James.
Trump has done a ton of things that are great, but we're in a situation where he has to really move mountains.
I agree.
Starting with the fact 20 million people need to go tomorrow.
And I mean, and that.
Just logistically, but I mean, Keith was talking about the administration.
Well, let me tell you how I think it can be done.
Go ahead.
Yeah, the way it can be done is do it in the red states.
Okay.
Get the numbers up in the red states, cut the welfare money off to the NGOs and the people in the blue states that are obstructing justice.
And there's more that can be done in the Republicans.
For example, there's a seat in Tennessee that is right for the taking with redistricting, and that's one in Memphis.
That was a gerrymander district so that they would elect the blacks.
So instead, they elected you, okay?
Steve Cohen.
But they could very easily redistrict that out and gain another seat in Congress.
But for some reason, our hilly-livered Republicans won't do it.
You know, they would, like I said once before, they would rather plead guilty to pedophilia than be accused of racism.
All right.
So anyway, Lou, back.
Yes, all of that's true.
Nothing new there.
But let's, we've got the voting rights act.
They can't do that.
They can do a lot of things they're not doing.
Well, they didn't do it in Indiana.
We saw what happened in Virginia.
Democrats play hardball.
Republicans play softball.
Lou knows that far better than you and I. Lou, we only got a minute left before break.
Take the last minute, Lou, and we're going to come back to you and go all the way in the next half hour.
Yeah, well, it's just, I mean, Keith is right.
And there's been an organized effort to flip more of these seats and to do some gerrymandering on the Republican side, but there has not been the cooperation there needs to be in some of these legislatures.
And the other thing is that they don't play as hardball as the Democrats even when they're doing it.
They could have got 10 seats in Texas.
And everyone I know down there has told me this, and they played it very safe.
Spanberger's not playing it safe.
It's 6'5 right now in Virginia.
She's going for 10-1.
She's going for the fences.
And that's a Republican rhino corporate Republican problem.
You can't play by the Marquis de Queensbury rules when the other side thinks you're in a cage fight.
I mean, listen, it is true.
I mean, of course, they have the media and the system and everything behind them, so it's easier to have that courage, if you will.
I mean, but left-wing women have always had bigger balls than right-wing men.
Not the present company excluded, of course, gentlemen, as you know.
But, I mean, Rosa Parks had bigger balls than any Republican I know, even though that was all a set-up thing from Jump Street.
But, you know, at least she put herself out there.
I mean, I'd like to see some of our men do that.
And certainly the men that come on this program, too.
We need a lot more that are still out there in Washington.
We'll be right back with a move forward.
Proclaiming liberty across the land.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
News this hour from Town Hall.
I'm Mary Rose.
Syria and Saudi Arabia have signed multi-billion dollar investment agreements.
The deals include a major telecommunications project and a low-cost joint airline.
Syria is trying to improve its economy after a long war that killed nearly half a million people.
Most Western sanctions on Syria were lifted after a new leadership took power following the ouster of former President Bashar al-Assad in 2024.
The Saudi investment minister says the massive project will be led by Saudi Telecom Company.
The price tag for that should come to about $1 billion.
President Trump says the U.S. held very good talks with Iran.
Officials from both countries participated in the indirect talks held in Oman.
The president described them as very good and said more were planned for early next week.
But he kept up the pressure, warning that if the country didn't make a deal over its nuclear program, the consequences are very steep.
Meanwhile, the president signed an executive order that may impose a 25% tariff on countries that do business with Iran.

A drone attack by a paramilitary group in Sudan kills 24, including eight children.
Correspondent Julie Walker reports.
It comes a day after a World Food Program aid convoy was targeted, killing one and wounding several others.
The Sudan Doctors Network says Saturday's attack by the Rapid Support Forces took place close to the city of Rahad in North Kordofan province.
The doctors group is urging international action to protect civilians and hold the RSF accountable.
Sudan plunged into chaos in April 2023 when a power struggle between the military and the RSF exploded into open fighting.

Cut Money, Raid Businesses00:14:40
I'm Reverend Jim Dowson, ordained Puritan minister, nationalist, and a veteran pro-life campaigner.
Tune in to my weekly sermons at thetemplarchurch.com.
Based in Ireland, this old-time religion is the faith that built America.
God bless you.
All right, we're back with the Loom War.
And one of the things that makes this show great is that we have access to people like Lou.
When we want to know something that's going on in politics, we don't wait for the hot take of the day by your online commentator based upon the most recent action out of Washington.
We bring people on that can see things clearly and see things at a scale that is beyond the scope of most of us.
So when we want to know what's going on in Washington, we talk to people like Lou Moore or Steve King.
And because Lou knows how the whole thing works.
And I will say this about Lou.
I still remember having Lou on a week or two before the presidential election of 24.
And he called that thing so perfectly.
He absolutely nailed it.
It was 100%.
And so I already had a lot of faith in Lou's abilities as a prognosticator, but he shot over the moon with how he called the 24 elections.
And so we will give him a wide runway here.
So Lou, again, we're not going to speak until you say, guys, I'm done talking.
So when he says, guys, I'm done talking, Keith, jump in on this.
But looking at this again, as you do, Lou, as a political professional, not just by the Actions or lack thereof of the last few weeks in Minneapolis,
but taking into account this proposed Office of Remigration, taking into account what the Supreme Court may or may not do with the Voting Rights Act this year, and looking forward to this confrontation that you see coming between Wall Street and big business over immigration.
Again, resetting.
How do you square it all, Lou?
Well, I mean, I'm not sure.
You know, it was just like in the 24 election, James, Trump was able to a great degree maintain his independence because of this tremendous base support he had.
But he couldn't quite get over the top without a little help from Marion Adelson, without a little help from Elon Musk, without a little help from David Sachs and some of these other characters.
And that's why we're dealing with the situation in Iran and some of these other things right now.
Things are not exactly to our liking.
So Trump definitely does not have full freedom of action.
And he's very leery of the business community, because particularly the business community in terms of like construction companies and a lot of the mid-sized businesses, a lot of these guys have gotten into the illegal alien labor game, not to mention agriculture.
And these are all mainstays of traditional Republican corporate donors.
And so, you know, Trump gets a ton of blowback.
When they had that raid and they got, what, 400 Koreans out of this one plant down, was it in Georgia, somewhere in the South?
I mean, he got a ton of blowback.
And then he said, I want you to back off the businesses for a while.
Well, okay, but now we're coming up to an election.
And he, I say, it's a fork in the road.
Yes, the Republican, the National Republican Congressional Committee or the RNC might lose some donations, but they might gain in donations from the rank and file if he gets on with this mass deportation, which needs to be a whole of government approach.
Everything Keith said, you know, definitely cutting off the money of all these rent-a-mob organizations that caused all these bad optics in places like Minnesota.
And looking tactically, emphasizing the red states for certain things.
But they're going to have to raid businesses.
There's no way around it.
It's time to get down to it.
They're going to have to go after the banks that are making tons of money about all these transfers, about all these transfers of funds that these illegals do back to their home country.
They're going to have to say, you know what, we got to have E-Verify.
And you know what?
We're not going to use a hotel that's full of illegal aliens in the hospitality area.
And, you know, it's just, it's time.
It's time to get on with it.
And Trump has to make a decision here.
Is he going to have a Democrat Congress next year that's going to want to peach him on day one and just freeze out his whole agenda and his whole vision of greatness as he continually shares with us?
Or is he going to get on with what has to happen?
And polling is still with him, but not if he's weak.
So he's got to get on with it.
And tactically, I think Minneapolis was a disaster.
You know, they needed to start with George Soros.
If you're going to an Alex Soros, if you're going to have an anti-immigration drive, start with these organizations that are doing everything in the world to foster it.
Go after all of them.
I'm sorry, the Catholics, the Mormons, the Lutherans, they all need to line them up.
The public is sick of this.
I mean, you know, I look at my state.
Every time I go to a big box store, there's fewer people speaking English in the store.
I mean, it's crazy.
And a lot of people don't even think there is an immigration problem in Utah.
Well, guess what?
There is.
And I don't know of any other state there isn't one.
And people notice this.
And this is why Raspus has still got a majority of people saying they want mass deportations.
So Trump needs to do this to energize his base politically.
He also needs to do it, as Bradley Thayer just said, to save Western civilization.
And, you know, people, and the other thing is, James, that is exciting to me.
You know, someone like you, you've been keyed in on what is happening in Europe.
And, you know, you have all these relationships with people in Europe.
That hasn't been the norm in American politics.
But with social media and whatnot, more and more activists, average activists, conservatives and politics are keyed in to what's happening in England, are keyed into the grooming gangs in England and all these rapist gangs running around Sweden and whatnot.
And the fact that Spain just is granting citizenship to 500,000 Africans.
And the EU has just come up now with a migration agreement that really is right out of camp of the Saints, for God's sake.
There's going to be millions more Indians in Europe within two years if something isn't done.
And people are starting to see now the bigger picture.
And you see it on social media?
Elon Musk seems to be seeing the bigger picture about the need for remigration, a word he's been using.
He's been great.
He's been great.
He's been very good on Twitter the last while.
And so that's why I say it's a fork in the road.
I mean, the old Republican okey-doke, let's go down to the Qiantus Club and raise money there, and then we'll go call the PACS.
And that day's over with.
The people, I mean, that is so out of touch with the voter base, they need to persuade to actually win this next election.
But, you know, Trump is dealing with troglodytes in the Congress and venal characters, both.
And I'm talking about the Republicans, not the Democrats are a bunch of Bolsheviks now.
So anyway, but a whole of government approach, he could start to get this done.
He starts showing some progress in that.
It's going to be a huge energizer to his base.
And right along with that is what Keith brought up.
We have to secure our elections.
And this battle going on right now is going to be pivotal right now, meaning Monday morning, whether the Senate is going to allow this maneuver of the standing filibuster to try to bring the SAVE Act across the line.
And we got to do that.
But, you know, Mitch McConnell, there's always people trying to sabotage this kind of stuff, but we need to secure our elections.
So, you know, that's joined at the hip in many ways with the mass immigration issue.
Keith, you want to bring this back and chime in on this and then maybe tie it into what we hope will happen with the Voting Rights Act?
Because if the Supreme Court doesn't deliver the GOP an undeserved assist here, I don't see any way of prevailing in the midterms if you believe that prevailing.
Well, I think that they take control.
I think the Supreme Court realizes they're in an existential contest here.
In other words, their existence, if the Democrats get back in, if they get the presidency, they are going to stack the Supreme Court.
They're going to make Puerto Rico and D.C. state so they will then forevermore capture the legislative branch.
What we need to do is get the numbers up on actual remigrations or deportations.
You know, it's great to say that we've shut off the border, but as soon as the Democrats get back in, they'll unlock the gates and let them all in again.
So we need to get people out.
And the way to get people out is to focus, go where the hunt where the ducks are, as Pat Buchanan said.
Go to red states like Texas, get as many people out of the state as possible with friendly judges and whatnot.
So you have the numbers when the election comes up in November to say, look at what I did.
You know, I'm like little Jack, I stuck in my thumb and pulled out a plum.
Here it is.
And we can do that.
Then, for more long-term solutions, cut off the money to states that have a demonstrated history of welfare fraud and misappropriation of federal monies.
And just say, you know, you have to pay your taxes, but we're not going to give you money until you have convinced us that you've got your house in order.
And I think we can do that.
That's, you know, we can run around like chickens with our head cut off, worrying about things that we can't control.
Minnesota is a lost cause.
New York City is a lost cause.
California, at least the coastal part of California, is a lost cause.
Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Ditto.
So that is really enemy territory.
And if you send troops in there, you're going to give them what they loved most of all about the civil rights movement is police dogs and fire hoses and all this type of stuff.
Well, I tell you, I got to say this, Keith.
Keith, I got to say this.
If they'd have brought out the fire hoses in Minneapolis, I'd like to see how many of those paid demonstrators would have continued to earn their money after being turned into popsicles.
When they turned the fire hoses on in Montgomery, it was a little bit warmer in Montgomery.
Anyway, yeah, go ahead.
Well, see, everything, look, the civil rights movement provided the template, the blueprint for all subsequent leftist, you know, radical egalitarian movements.
And what's happening in Minnesota is one of them.
And basically, rather than giving them that wonderful TV time where these poor, innocent, you know, liberals are being victimized by the cruel Gestapo of Trump, just cut off their money.
That is, you know, that's so much more effective.
That's what they live for.
You know, look at what happened to the Washington Post.
Without money, those son of a guns aren't going to work.
Okay.
People on the right are used to working for free.
James can tell you all about that, right?
And so can I.
And so can Lou.
You know, this is what is we need to focus, you know, go hunting where the ducks are, get the numbers up before the election using deportations out of red states with friendly Republican appointed judges.
Don't give Bozerberg red meat and stuff like this.
Just cut off the money, okay?
Say that we're, you know, that we're doing this for a reason.
We're doing it because you guys have demonstrated that you are wasting billions of dollars of taxpayers' money, you know, allowing a bunch of con men to raid the treasury.
So I think that can work.
What do you think, Lou?
Well, I mean, cutting off the money, absolutely.
And, you know, this was a real tragedy.
The fact that Doge didn't really get off the ground, and there's disputations as to why that was true.
But basically, it's because it's easier than heck to spend government money, and it's harder than can possibly be believed to cut off government funds from anybody at any time because they are concerted.
Well, see, that's the reason why happened in Virginia is because we didn't follow through on Doge.
If they had followed through on Doge, they would have cashiered a bunch of those federal employees.
And guess what?
A lot of them live in Virginia.
And they would move.
They'd be selling their houses.
They'd be looking for a green pasture somewhere.
And we would have Virginia Bank.
Pulling Plug on Doge00:10:09
You know, we need to think long term about these things.
We've got to.
Doge was a perfect idea.
And, you know, Trump, unfortunately, you know, what we're seeing, I read Alexander Dugan's article recently about Epstein and whatnot.
And said that one thing it showed definitely is that Israel isn't our vassal.
We are Israel's vassal.
And they're the ones that are calling all the shots.
And that's true.
That's what's happened.
And that's what happened, for example, with pulling the plug on Doge, pulling the plug on Musk, pulling the plug on, you know, ICE agents in Minneapolis and stuff like this.
You know, there's a hidden hand here.
And we've got to find a way to finesse this thing where we can show the voters big numbers before November.
I think Lou, go ahead, Luke.
By all means, go.
No, I'm sorry.
James was just going to say, Keith, where I completely agree with you is fraud could be the key that takes the lock here because there is so much of it in all of these state areas, and it is very tight.
It's tied to many issues.
It's tied to voter fraud.
That element of fraud.
It's tied to the mass immigration.
It's tied to the Democrat machines in the cities.
It's tied to the whole DEI complex.
It's tied to all of it.
And yeah.
And, you know, supposedly Trump has got a new czar for the fraud.
And, you know, they need to step it up and get on it.
But yes, this could be a key element in several of these issues, including facilitating more cooperation with the leverage that that can bring you in places like Minneapolis for the mass deportation, not to mention the other issues that you mentioned long-term.
Pam Bondi has been a disappointment.
She needs to follow the Marine Corps motto about lead follower, get out of the way.
Well, we needed Matt Gaetz.
Of the people who, again, who we needed.
I mean, I could give you some names of people we needed for Attorney General.
But of the people that we could have realistically gotten, we needed Matt Gates and not Bondi.
But nevertheless, I got a comment here for you, Lou, to respond to from a listener tonight.
And it does bring up, I think, just the reality of political timetables.
When you get elected president, you have maybe a year to get things done.
And then everybody starts clinching up preparing for the midterms.
And then, of course, everybody starts running for president right after the midterms.
So you've got one year.
What is the likelihood that Trump is going to deliver a big win With where we are now in his second administration.
So that is my question to you before I read this comment, which I think will crystallize it.
But I would also say, though, that people who are judging Trump based on the debacle in Minneapolis and not looking at the bigger picture, to say that we are not in a better position now than we were 10 years ago or four years ago or whenever, you know, prior to the onset of Trump's era.
He's the only president we've had white advocates have made any progress with over the past seven years.
You're not being serious.
Yeah, I agree with Keith.
You're just not being entirely serious.
All right, so here it is.
Here it is.
You guys can talk about how Trump is better than the alternative, and you're exactly correct.
But in less than three years from now, if Trump keeps playing ball as he is, the backlash against anybody identified with supporting this administration will be a bloodbath on the scale of Bosnia.
So this is a listener looking at the worst case scenario.
If there is not some fundamental change in a big way and the left retakes control of the House and the Senate and the presidency, in three years, what happens?
That's the question.
And can Trump do anything or is he likely to do anything, Lou, that will stave off that apparent trajectory?
Well, the biggest thing that's happened, James, is you have a man who is saying all these things.
Now, you can say, oh, he's not sincere, he's been bought off or whatever, but he's saying all these various things we're talking about, remigration and all these things.
And 90% of the Republican Party is with him.
This is the difference.
This is the difference.
And the ability to mobilize millions of people in a heartbeat on social media if they're energized.
And so I think that can negate the rule that in his second year, he won't have any clouts.
And then after the midterms, he won't have any clouts because it isn't all about Trump.
I've never believed that.
There is a sea change going on in this country, but the way he has communicated with the public, the way he has interacted with people has just facilitated it unbelievably.
And I'm talking about communications, but communications lead to actions.
And maybe they won't be Trump's actions.
But it's all going our way, James.
I'm telling you, it's all going our way long term.
We have to do that.
Don't be chicken rolls.
I think people are set.
They're either for Trump or against him.
I don't think any of this theater is really changing any minds.
What we have to do is make sure that the left can't depend on voter fraud again to take them past the finish line.
I agree with Lou.
I got to say, 100% agree with Lou is that when you are changing the rudder on the USS United States, it's, you know, you're not turning on a dime.
This isn't a nimble thing.
It is a behemoth.
It is the empire.
It is, you know, it is the United States of America.
And this change isn't going to happen overnight.
But if you look at, as we have done every week on this program, I mean, you have a real-time assessment of the changes week to week over the last 10 years and 20 years on this program for your consultation in the broadcast archives.
If you look at it the last 10 years, not the last month, which was not good, but the last 10 years overall, I agree with Lou.
I think things are changing and it might not be as readily apparent as people may believe.
if the doomsayers are correct and we all get executed with an incoming Democratic mandate, then that will be.
But I still think we are better off than we were, and there is a lot of room for further advancement.
So, Lou, again, with two minutes remaining, thank you, Keith, for your contributions this hour.
Keith and I will be back together again for the full three-hour show next week with the ladies.
It's our annual Valentine's Day broadcast.
Don't miss that.
But Lou, with a minute remaining, final word to you on all of this.
Sum it up and give us some hope.
Give us some reason for hope from your perspective as really a political insider in how DC and the government works.
Well, long term, James, I mean, you have this situation where the richest man in the world can make a statement.
100 million people hear him make this statement.
And the statement is white people are being replaced.
We need to do something about it.
This isn't even the universe we were in 10 years ago.
I mean, amen.
Amen.
Amen.
100,000%.
And so that's a backdrop.
But then with Trump, we got a guy in office that has political power.
The establishment hates him.
I mean, he can't be a shill for the established, but they tried to kill him.
They tried to put him in prison.
They did everything and they cheated in elections.
They did everything in the world.
We got all the right enemies.
Out of office.
Exactly.
And so is he perfect?
Hardly.
Does he have leverage against him that we don't like, like the Israel lobby?
Of course he does.
But this shift is happening.
He also has leverage from the people, the populist movement.
And it's always that tension between the elitist and the populace.
But the public is with him.
The public's with him on deportations.
Public's with him on voter ID for elections.
And, you know, this thing can be hammered home.
I'm not predicting it will be, either the Save Act or much less mass deportations, but there is still potential for that.
So I guess that's my final word on it.
Hey, let me tell you the final word is louemore.com, L-E-W-M-O-O-R-E dot com.
And there you'll find his hour of decision, LibertyNewsRadio.com as well.
Every week, you want to tune in to what Lou is talking about in, you know, in between his appearances here on TPC.
Lou, thanks for anchoring the show tonight and for bringing us this ballast to the commentary of the last few weeks with regards to Minneapolis.
It was, I think, much needed, and I appreciate it.
