Feb. 15, 2026 - The Political Cesspool - James Edwards
54:37
Radio Show Hour 1 – 2026/02/14
The Political Cesspool’s 2026 Valentine’s Day broadcast breaks tradition by featuring ten women, including Liz Edwards (host’s wife) and Virginia Abernathy (Buchanan campaign ally since 1999). Kim, a homeschooling mother, critiques "e-girls" for lacking substance, contrasts Elijah Schaefer’s fall with Alan Ladd’s steadfast marriage, and mocks feminist role models like Ann Coulter. The episode argues women should prioritize homemaking over male-dominated fields while defending midwives but rejecting high-risk medical roles, framing it as a pushback against "feminist exclusion" of straight white men from leadership—underscoring a conservative backlash against gender and racial equity narratives.

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.
Instant good mood just right there.
That alone makes this one of the best shows of the year.
Welcome, everybody, to our annual Valentine's Day broadcast here on TPC.
It's Saturday evening, February the 14th.
You know, we always do the Valentine's Day show on the Saturday nearest to Valentine's Day.
This year, we're hitting it right on the money, and it's going to be one show.
10 different ladies.
We're going to have estrogen coming out of our eyes and our ears and our what-have-yous to paraphrase Trump.
James Edwards and Keith Alexander setting the stage, getting the table ready before this parade of female friends.
Keith, great to have you back.
Happy Valentine's Day.
And same to you, and same to all of our guests tonight.
You know, it's always good to have the ladies on.
Well, let's go through.
You know, we're only in the second month.
We're halfway through the second month of the year.
Even that seems a little astonishing.
But even though we're still early in the calendar, we've still put quite a few miles behind us.
Going back to the very first show of the year, our guests have been David Zutty, Harry Cooper, Simon Roche, and the Hamblins.
Rich and Janice.
She'll be back tonight for the Valentine's Day show, live from South Africa, that very first show of the year, followed up by the situation in Venezuela exploding with Patrick Martin, Jose Nino, and Taylor Young.
And then Minneapolis happened, Jim Lancia, Mark Weber, and Jason Kessler, followed by Peter Brimelo.
And then we rounded out January a couple of weeks ago with Sam Dixon and Christian Sikour, the J6 prisoner.
And then last week, of course, Ethan Ralph, Ralph Lumore, and David Duke.
That's 15 guests by my account.
What do you know that they all have in common?
They've been here before.
Well, let's see.
I think, yes, that is actually that you are correct.
There are no first-time guests in that particular lot, although we will have some tonight.
But my takeaway was all male.
That's right.
Not one female yet on the program, but the ladies are going to pretty near close the gap entirely over the course of the next three hours.
And we do have a couple of ladies that are making their very first appearances on TPC tonight.
One of them, it's astonishing to even believe that that could be the case.
Lydia Brimelow will be with us, wife of Peter and longtime helpmate there at V-Dare.
And she'll be on tonight.
We're going to have Caitlin from the Return of the Land community.
Sarah Dye will be back.
Virginia Abernathy, mother and daughter, appearing in tandem later tonight.
Renee Griffin and Linda Baum.
Janice Amblin, as I mentioned, and I know I'm forgetting a few.
Courtney will be back.
Kim will be back.
And I believe Kim's sister may be back.
So we could have a pair of sisters and a mother-daughter.
So that's what we may, well, you know, we keep it in the family here.
That's right.
So it's going to be good.
It's going to be fun.
And we do look forward to that.
And then, of course, we do like to hit the ground running every broadcast year.
This is our first special event, but we've got a couple of special series coming up very soon as well, March Around the World.
We're already preparing for that, Confederate History Month in April.
But the Valentine's Day show, always a lot of fun.
And are y'all all ready to have a good time out there tonight?
Are you ready to have a good time tonight, Keith?
Yes.
All right.
Well, let's Liz, let's call my wife.
My wife will be the first one.
She is not here tonight.
Normally, when she pops on, she happens to just be loitering around the studio, and we put her on a mic from time to time.
Always fun.
But she is not here tonight.
So we will give her a very quick call.
Just let her say hello.
She knows most of these ladies and has been friends with them for a long, long time.
So we will let Liz grab her over the phone.
And here's the way this show is going to work tonight.
And Liz, just let me know when she's there.
I have assigned pretty much what we're going to have.
I mean, there's a little bit of variation, but for the most part, each lady will get a single segment to cover a topic of their choosing.
Now, as you know, when we have these ladies on, there was one show, I don't remember if it was Lacey or Janice that particular year, but they definitely transitioned from gardening tips into high Q anti-Semitism, which is something, you know, you never know where you're going to get here.
But they did it in such a seamless way that it was, well, it was just brilliant.
And so these ladies are going to share their thoughts on a topic of their choosing.
Now, it could be anything ranging from news and current events to relationships, homemaking, and, well, anything in between.
Politics.
It's all.
And I don't know what it's going to be.
So Keith and I will be learning along with the rest of you what these ladies have chosen to discuss tonight.
Obviously, I think with some of them, I have a pretty good idea, but we will find out together here on this Valentine's Day show.
So do we have my wife there yet?
I'm here.
Hey, Danny, how are you?
I have a little bit of a cold, but I'm good.
Yes, we do actually all have a cold.
So we've been under a polar ice cap in Memphis for the last couple of weeks.
It melted, and then the family, our whole house, has our first illness of this winter coming a little late here in February.
And on Valentine's Day, no less.
But anyway, listen, I wanted to have you on.
As I told you before the show tonight, it was important for me to have you on tonight as the first of all of these ladies, so many of them you know and have known for so many years.
But just wanted to give you the first word just to say hello and officially kick this show off and begin the march tonight.
That's really sweet.
I'm honored to be number one.
I did want to say that I'm excited to hear from all the women that are for tonight's lineup.
I know they're all people that I hold dearly to my heart, and I'm excited to hear from them.
And I'm proud to have them in my life with their truth and their wisdom and their support and their love.
And I'm just grateful and blessed to have each of them a part of my life.
And I also wanted to say that I'm proud of you and all the accomplishments that you have with this show.
I know that it's really blossomed.
And I'm proud to be by your side while that happened.
Well, it couldn't have happened without you, and that's the truth, and that's something I want to say to everybody who's listening.
I mean, all of the dull administrative stuff, the stamping and the sealing of envelopes, and the addressing of envelopes, and going to the post office, and packaging things, and just everything happens by anybody, any woman can stamp and all that.
But there's a lot more that goes into it with patience and your absence.
And, you know, I'm proud for that to happen for you to get to standard.
Well, it's an absolute fact.
I mean, if there's not a shared vision in the home, there'll be chaos and discord.
And so to say that I couldn't have done this without your support is, you know, whether it be the physical support that we were just mentioning or the emotional support.
I mean, that's an absolute fact.
If there's discord in your home, it's difficult to prosper and to go out and it is tough.
It's hard.
But I do feel like we make a really good team.
Well, we've done something special here.
And, you know, you don't even know this, but I'll tell you this very quickly.
I was talking to Virginia.
Virginia Abernathy is going to be our last guest tonight in the third hour.
And I was talking to Virginia earlier today.
And I just said, you know, Virginia, this is crazy, but you and I have known each other now for 26 years because, of course, you and I go back to the Buchanan campaign together.
And that was, you know, late 99, early 2000, which was even before I met you.
And what Virginia said was instantly, she goes, Yes, James, we've known each other a long time, but your wife has been there since almost that time as well.
And you and I met in 2001.
So she's right about that.
And I thought that that was just interesting that Virginia, the first thing she would say in response to, wow, you know, Virginia, we've known each other all these times.
She goes, your wife was there too.
And I can remember you as a teenager, you know, wearing my t-shirt, you know, out at the campaigning at the festivals when I was running for the state house in 2007.
I remember my first little outfit, public appearance with you with a blue jean skirt and a red shirt that said Elect Edwards, and I was very proud to wear.
That was in the summer, the fall of 2002.
And then even then, that was still two years prior to the show, a solid two years before the beginning of the show in the fall of 2004.
So that's how far back my wife and I go.
She has literally been here every step of the way.
I am the show is not five days a week like it was before.
That was hard.
That was tough.
Well, we were newlyweds, and the show was newlyweds when the show first started.
Freewater Coin Company Announcement00:03:09
Well, actually, not even.
We got married in 06, but we were, you know, in 04, but and through 2008 or 9, we were Monday through Friday, 7 to 9 at night.
Hey, listen, we've only got seconds remaining.
We've only got a couple of seconds left.
What did you want to say?
I love you more than Erica Kirk loves Charlie Kirk.
I'll love you too.
With that, our Valentine's Day is offered.
God tells us in Hebrews 10, 25 that we should gather together to worship him.
This isn't a request.
It is a command.
Going to church isn't an option.
It is your Christian duty.
With the hellish apostasy of mainstream churches, attending church these days can be difficult.
That is why your King James Only, traditional services in the ancient Church of St. Mary Magdalene are live online.
And I invite you to gather with our congregation to study God's Holy Word.
Join us every Sunday at thetemplarchurch.com and especially on the first Sunday of the month for Holy Communion.
This do in remembrance of me is also a command that all Christians must obey.

Kim And The Everly Brothers00:11:15
Well, speaking of ladies I've known for a long, long time, Kim is certainly very near the beginning of that list as well, having just talked to my wife in the first segment.
And Kim and I go back now to 2004 as well, and her sister too.
And, you know, when Kim comes on, we always like to play an Everly Brothers.
I think Lightning has struck twice on this particular thing where Kim, you know, Kim really likes Let It Be Me and Who Doesn't.
But Keith really likes Devoted to You.
And then there's a little, I think this is the second time devoted to you somehow got moved to the head of the line.
I don't know what's happening with that.
I don't know how I outline Kim.
Kim, how are you doing tonight?
Kim is a lady among ladies and a homeschooling, home churching mother.
Every time we have Kim on, it seems like her family has grown by another one.
And we just had a chance to spend some time with Kim and her husband and their wonderful, wonderful kids of all ages just a few weeks ago.
Kim, it's great to have you back tonight.
Also get to talk with Keith.
And of course, I just defer to Keith's choice of the Everly Brothers.
But when it comes to the Everly Brothers Christmas album now, then I get to pick something from that one.
You get to pick it anyway.
Yeah, that's a deal, Kim.
Kim, you've got a deal.
Well, Kim, you know, you were tuned in last week, and thank you for that.
As a matter of fact, I can't find it right now, but I remember you texting something during the program last week with Ethan Ralph that made me laugh out loud.
And I don't know if I was on mic or not, but anyway, I can't remember exactly what that was.
But you were tuned in to the discussion I was having with Ethan about the e-girl phenomenon.
And, you know, I don't know if I quite stuck the landing in conveying exactly what I wanted to transmit to the audience there.
But I think, well, you wanted to call in and continue that conversation tonight here on the Valentine's Day show.
What are your takeaways and what were we thinking I was trying to do last week in that first hour?
Well, yeah, thanks, James.
I had even thought about calling in when you and Ethan were discussing it because I kind of had a little bit different take than you had.
And I wanted to bounce some of these ideas off you and see.
Also, I'd love to hear Keith's take on it as well.
You know, you were asking basically why does all this e-drama matter, you know, and everybody that if you're on Twitter, of course, you know, it's the whole Elijah Schaefer Sarah Stock drama, which, you know, in the internet world has already moved on and we're already on to the next thing.
But I was thinking it, you know, it actually does matter.
And because Twitter is, for bad or for good, it's the town square.
It's where most people now go that are thinking outside the Fox News box where they go to get their information.
And let's be honest, there's only a handful of really well-spoken and prominent pro-white figures out there on Twitter and a few of these other platforms that are giving our side a voice.
And Elijah Schaefer was doing that.
You know, he came out of the Blaze, started his slightly offensive channel, and then it went on to Rift TV.
And he had quite a following, I think, almost, what, 700,000 followers.
And he would be on other people's shows.
But what I noticed on his evolution over time from the Blaze until present day is that he became more honest about what is going on with the destruction of our people.
And he had no holds barred.
I mean, he would just get out there and he would say what was going on, whether it was Jewish power and influence, whether it was, you know, World War II, what have you.
And he was effective, and he was effective for his age group as well.
And so when that news came out, really, really, James, I probably had maybe a different take than you.
I was pretty just gutted by it in the sense that when you only have a handful of people out there really doing a great job, and yes, I say handful, you know, it's not like we have tens of thousands.
And so when you see someone have a downfall like that, that was a voice for our cause and was a voice for our people, and he would also promote traditional life.
You know, his wife was a stay-at-home mom, and she had these beautiful home births.
And it was, or at least it appeared to be, an ideal lifestyle that others should want.
You know, he had a transformation to being a godless person and to finding God.
And so when someone falls that hard, it is a black eye on our own folk.
And, you know, while obviously there's, you know, there's salacious gossip and what have you, it's this is this is a black eye.
And like you've said before, James, our white family, it's a part of our extended family.
Okay.
So when somebody falls in this extended family, it hurts us all.
It hurts our cause.
It hurts our reputation as Christians.
You know, he promoted being a Christian.
It hurts that.
So yeah, I just, it really, I just really had a just a disgusted and saddened reaction that our message was mocked.
So I was curious to get Keith's take on it as well.
Well, I'll answer very quickly and then toss it over to Keith because Keith is certainly a representative of a lot of our demographic here with TPC.
And I'm not entirely sure if Keith is going to know a lot about Elijah Schaefer, frankly.
And I mean, again, so this was the thing, Kim.
I mean, yes, I wanted to have a discussion with Ethan because he's so plumped into that scene, for better or worse, about the E-Right, the online right, the E-Right, what they call the new right.
And because Eliza Schaefer was so prominently in the news, as you said, I mean, a week later, and all that's pretty much passed and people are on to something else doesn't mean that the scars aren't always going to be there for the people involved.
But because Schaefer just so happened to be at the top of the Twitter feeds and things like that last week, I mean, he got mentioned, but most of the things we were talking with Ethan about, and I'll get your take on this in a second, was the e-girl phenomenon, which is, of course, certainly more than tangentially related, but not necessarily directly.
But Keith, do you know anything about what we're talking about?
Just from what I listened to last week.
But let me put somebody in stark contrast to this.
Alan Ladd.
I was just reading about the movie star Alan Ladd, you know, the star of shame, the star of the great Gatsby, the star of the world.
He's more up on the Alan Ladd news than the Elijah Schaefer.
But anyway, let me just tell you, what was so wonderful about Alan Ladd is that he was totally devoted to his wife, who was a bit older than him and quite frankly, not in his league when it came to appearance.
But he was just, you know, he paired in all these movies with Veronica Clake.
Look at Veronica Lake.
She's not the most beautiful woman in the world.
She's in the top 10, I tell you.
And he was totally true to his wife.
They had four children.
All the children turned out great.
He was buried with a letter in his hand written by one of his sons telling him how much he loved him.
He was totally devoted.
See, that's the type of people that we need as our role models.
And, you know, I really think that the left tries to pick our heroes and our leaders for us because they know that they've got feet of clay and that they will be doing something sooner or later that is going to discredit them and by extension us.
So, you know, we need to keep all of that in mind.
We need to be very careful and realize that, you know, Milo Shiannopoulos is not my hero, okay?
And people like that.
If he was, you'd pronounce his name right.
Yeah, that's right.
I can't even do that.
Well, so Keith has a good point here, Kim.
And we'll get on to the e-girls next.
But, I mean, again, and I put Ethan at a disadvantage last week because, you know, his task was to, in an hour of segmented commercial talk radio, take us through the entirety of the online right.
And there are literally, I mean, as you said, we certainly don't have tens of thousands of champions, but we do have hundreds, maybe even thousands of people who have podcasts and their own live streams and rumbles and TikToks and all of that stuff that's just ballooned now as social media has continued to evolve.
So, you know, we could have, and Elijah Schaefer again got focused on last week because he just so happened to be in the news at the time of that particular show.
But there are hundreds of others that we could have used an example.
But and to Keith's point, you know, they're not quite my tempo.
Now, I don't know if it's because I'm middle-aged or, you know, a little bit beyond that now or just an old heart.
Well, I know you're basically a righteous man, and that is something that nobody seems to value anymore.
Well, but even with younger people, I mean, there are some young people I like, Kim, and that are doing great work, and we feature them here.
But again, it's as I said with Ethan, you know, if I've got a limited amount of time on a AM Talk radio program, my time is going to go to the people that have been there forever and have never faltered.
People like the people we regularly feature, like Peter Brimelow and Kevin McDonald and Jared Taylor and people like that.
I mean, that's this show.
But of course, you know, kids probably want someone that's one of their contemporaries, so I have no problem with that.
Well, they have also been led to believe they need men that are daddy-os and women who are quote-unquote hot.
And instead, we need to have people that are good role models for large families and for developers.
We're going to get to that with Kim.
Those are exactly the kind of women.
How are we already done with one segment?
Well, Kim, I'm so glad it worked out that we actually have you for two segments tonight because I didn't get to half of what I wanted to cover with you.
But we are going to have Kim for one more segment, and we're going to be talking about the kind of women that we were having on tonight and that we regularly feature on this program compared and contrasted to the ones that are making all the news on social media.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
Long time friend.

Breaking news at Town Hall.
I'm Bob Agnew in Washington.
President Trump's Commerce Secretary is facing calls for his resignation over ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In testimony before Congress, Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick acknowledged that he had met with Epstein twice after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a child.
That contradicts his previous claim that he had decided to never be in the room with Epstein again after 2005.
But the White House is standing by Luttnick.
Secretary Luttnick remains a very important member of President Trump's team, and the president fully supports the Secretary.

At the Olympics, the goal is to break a record, if you can, not to break your medals if you happen to win one.
But in some cases, that's what's been happening.
Four medalist Breezy Johnson after she and other athletes found their medals broke within hours.
It's not like crazy broken, but it's a little broken.
Olympic organizers are investigating with maximum attention after medals falling off their ribbons during celebrations on the opening weekend of the games.
Following the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, some medals needed to be replaced after athletes complained they were starting to tarnish or corrode.

Today marks the start of China's lunar new year travel rush.
We get more details from correspondent Lawrence Brooks.
China's New Year travel rush is expected to record around 9.5 billion trips in an extended nine-day holiday.
In a country where workers are expected to put in long hours, including on weekends, a few days off over the Lunar New Year Festival is precious time.
Hundreds of millions of people are expected to return to their hometowns.
Some 540 million of those trips will be made by train, 95 million by air, and the rest will be on the road.

Wesley Financial Group is not a law firm.
Ask yourself this question: Is it really worth holding on to that timeshare that you know you need to get rid of?
Here's the truth: the average maintenance fee just went up over 17%.
That could have been 117%, and there's nothing you can do about it.
When you buy a timeshare, you give them a blank check for annual maintenance and assessment fees.

And Kim.
Yeah.
Hey.
I'm here.
Have I ever told you how good it feels to hold you?
It is amazing doing my heart can't wait another day.
When you kiss me, I decide to say, baby, I love baby.
Baby, baby, I love me.
Absolutely perfect record right there.
The wall of sound back to mono.
They'll never make music like that again, Keith.
And that's our kind of stuff here at TPC.
So I think we're finally going to drill down to the core here with Kim.
And Kim, I appreciate everything you said in the last segment.
Very important what you said.
But I want to get to the girls too on this side of the E-Right question.
But first, I just got to say this about the guys.
A lot of these guys, and there's too many to name.
I mean, there's hundreds of them.
But I see it's almost by default, if you're in your 20s and you're in your 30s, that you are quarreling on social media.
You're posting everything you know about other people in your ranks.
You're emoting.
You're gossiping.
They're gossips.
It's very feminine behavior.
It's embarrassing.
And Elijah Schaefer was certainly doing that too.
I just don't want anything to do with that.
That was one of the points I was trying to make with Ethan.
I mean, you just wouldn't see Mark Weber.
You know, our regular guest.
Well, you know, we're talking about Alan Lyon.
That was one of the things I remember they said about him.
He never gossiped.
He was never talking about stuff like that.
And that's one thing this show is well known for.
And again, some of it had to do, I'm sure a lot of it had to do with my entry year into this whole thing back in 2000 on that presidential campaign.
And what, you know, there's not many people in modern history, maybe not anybody in modern history you could better, you know, serve as a role model than Pat.
But I mean, a quick word on these men who you see all the time on social media who are voicing our issues to some degree, but they're also engaging in this unmasculine behavior.
There it is.
Go, Kim.
Well, and I would say that that was one thing that people would say about Charlie Kirk is that he had an impeccable record for not throwing any comrades under the bus, for being an upstanding guy.
Whenever he was, you know, someone would come to the mic to basically ask him to throw shade on someone, he would refuse to punch right.
And he was just a class act.
And I agree.
Yes, we need to look to these men that just have an impeccable character.
And we all fall and we all make mistakes.
And, you know, certainly no one is beyond God's redemption.
And when these things happen, you know, we just pray for them and hope that they can be restored.
But it is a black eye.
And as far as the e-girls go, if you want to segue into that, James, I have a solution to the problem.
Okay, well, I want to hear it.
I just want to be clear in case there was any confusion with the audience.
There shouldn't be if anybody's listened to us more than a little while.
Of course, we love women here.
I've met so many wonderful women as a result of this work, and we champion them.
We cherish them.
I've met women throughout decades and generations, grandmothers, mothers, wives, and daughters, wonderful ladies that we've met through the work of this program and at events that we go to and at our conferences.
And the ones that we're having tonight is just, it's a tremendous showcase tonight of people like Lydia and Linda Baum, who so faithfully and dutifully served as helpmates to Gordon and Peter all those years.
And people like you, Kim, women like you who are raising up strong families.
You're home churching, homeschooling, homesteading.
You've got a little farm there.
Your husband is just a top-notch guy.
And so these are the women that need to be, well, again, Nick Griffin had a really good article the other day, a couple of weeks ago now, about what women should and shouldn't be doing in the movement and going out and engaging in attention-seeking behavior was one of the not-to-dos.
But anyway, yes, you see this with the e-girls.
So the e-girls is, yes, they speak our language, but how sincere are they?
How much do they really mean it?
It does seem like self-serving behavior to an extent, although we agree with them on some things, but they're also engaging in this behavior that I just, you know, it doesn't do anything for me.
Unbecoming behavior.
Right.
I think just to really solve this problem, James, they should all just have to be 300 pounds.
You said that last week.
There's no ugly e-girls.
So, I mean, is it that unattractive women can't have anything worthwhile to hear or say?
It is an interesting phenomenon, is it not?
Well, it's just science.
I mean, it's just science.
Let's be honest.
If there's a good-looking person behind the podium, science.
People are going to be more likely to look at them and to pay attention to them.
You know, and certainly for women, and especially if you're a well-spoken woman, Ann Coulter, Megan Kelly, okay, they're not ugly.
And they also happen to be well-spoken.
It's a combination that if a woman wants to make a point, she needs to be well-spoken, and it doesn't hurt if she's good-looking.
So now, same goes for men, though, doesn't it?
Well, that's true.
Yes, the sizzle and the substance, I mean, those go hand in hand.
Nobody's denying that.
But of course, Ann Coulter is certainly different than some of these e-girls that we were talking about last week.
I mean, Ann Coulter is educated.
She is accomplished.
She has done things that would make her opinion credible.
And that's a lot different than a lot of these people out there.
I don't know if I'm being too hard on them or not, but maybe you can read my mind.
No, definitely.
And I don't want to equate someone like an Ann Coulter with an e-girl.
I'm just simply pointing out that what has helped Ann along and Megan Kelly, yeah, they are very intelligent and very well-spoken, and they're also good-looking.
But as far as the e-girls go, yeah, it does seem to invite problems when they get out of their lane, as they say.
You know, and I do think there is a place for women, say on Instagram or Twitter, for helping women in their homemaking skills and to encourage them.
But it does also help when they have a track record.
When you're, say, 20 years old and you're espousing all of these wonderful virtues, I think that's great, but you better, you know, walk the walk because when you fall, it's going to be hard.
And as we, as we saw in the Sarah Stock situation, and it does make a mockery of, yeah, any kind of young, pretty girl that wants to make a point, then everybody thinks you're just a pretty face and a hypocrite.
So, you know, it's good to look to women that have a track record of, you know, being devoted spouses and that are involved in helping women in the home and helping them to be good wives and good mothers.
Well, what do you think about, I mean, as a woman, and you have appeared so faithfully on this program so often.
I mean, every Valentine's Day, it seems, you know, since we've been doing this and at other times throughout the year as well.
And I would listen to you, Kim.
I mean, I very much, that's why I have you on the program.
I value your opinion.
You're well-spoken.
You're articulate.
You know the issues.
You can communicate.
I mean, you could do something like this if you wanted to, but you chose a different path.
Would you have an opinion on women who put themselves out there publicly?
Is that necessarily, should that be their role?
How much is it attention-seeking versus earnestly trying to do a good job?
I guess it varies from case to case, but as a default, I think you're doing more with what you're doing right now, raising this family that's going to last for generations.
Yeah, yeah, and it does just depend on the case, but in general, I think we can just apply something to your own life.
If you're ever not sure, just say, well, would you want your 18-year-old daughter being a full-time internet girl and having her own YouTube or podcast or what have you?
I think there's rare cases for that.
And I can think of some that have done a wonderful job that you guys mentioned in last week's show.
Lana, you know, she's been paired with Henry Heinrich with Red Ice, and she's very well-spoken and very devoted.
Yeah, they're prone.
I'm sure she's puts in a lot of time, you know, obviously with her family too, and has, you know, tried to make that work.
But, you know, overall, it's you just don't have the time.
I mean, if you do have a family and you have enough kids, you know, it's hard to have a side gig like that where you can without, yeah, without neglecting your family.
So are there cases?
Sure, but there are the exceptions.
Well, I think, Kim, that a lot of the people that they promote as spokespeople for our movement, e-girls, e-guys, whatever, you know, they pick them because they do have feet of clay and they think that, you know, if they don't do something X-rated or improper, then they're not going to be interesting to the younger generation.
And I think that's selling the younger generation short.
I think that there's still a lot of righteous white people out there, particularly young people.
Well, in any event, to each their own as far as where you want to receive your information.
And if good information is being transmitted, we all benefit from that.
And the rising tide raises all the vessels, but it's just not quite my tempo.
What we do here is we've got the ladies that I think need to be shown as examples.
It's a lot of people 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.

I saw her walking down Main Street and I couldn't believe my eyes.
It used to be such a blame street, but now it's paradise.
I feel so happy, I'm feeling so good.
I'm the luckiest devil in the neighborhood.
Well, that is some master class in doo-wopping right there, Keith Alexander.
And I don't even know what else to say about that.
Yep, I tell you what, I think you must have been born on the East Coast way that you go for all the doo-wop and all these.
You prefer that to the rock, Billy.
There's no doubt about that.
You are probably the most enthusiastic fan of East Coast doo-wop that I've known in your generation.
That's the best music ever.
And that is one thing.
I love having all the ladies on tonight.
We've never had as many on for a Valentine's Day show as we are going to have tonight.
And we're just getting started.
But yes, another thing that I love about the Valentine's Day show, one of the things that makes me look forward to it, it does give me that excuse to play that saccharine sweet bubble gum pop, late 50s and 60s.
And it pairs well with the Valentine's Day show as the ladies' parade continues tonight.
You've got to have Curtis Lee on now.
Oh, all right.
Say no more.
Yeah, we'll get that one worked in for sure.
All right.
Well, Courtney from Alabama is next on deck as we come to the close of our first hour tonight.
Happy Valentine's Day, Courtney.
Great to have you back.
Thank you.
Happy Valentine's Day to y'all, too.
And thank you for having me.
Would you like me to go ahead and get into it?
Get into it.
We want to give you a wide further ado.
A wide berth.
Take it away.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I got a lot of notes here that I wrote down, so bear with me as I get through them.
I'll try to finish them quickly.
So one of my big talking points in the past when I'm on for Valentine's Day has always been, you know, usually a lot of times it's speaking out against women working and going to college.
And I grew up in a house where that pressure was put on me.
I mean, it was a traditional house, you know, Southern Baptist anti-feminist.
But, you know, it was during a time when people were sending their kids to college.
Everybody was doing it.
So I think my parents were just looking out for what was best for me.
So anyways, I think that's why that was done.
But I just have an interesting perspective on it.
Obviously, I'm overall against women working and going to college for the most part.
But I do think it needs to be said, though, that there are some jobs and roles that women are suited for that women historically fulfilled within their villages and communities for centuries.
And there's two categories of jobs I think we could focus on getting women out of.
And that's either jobs that have historically and traditionally been for men, you know, like the stuff that's obvious, astronauts, lawyers, engineers, soldiers.
I could list so many.
NFL players.
The other category is all these stupid, fluff jobs that women fill now that aren't needed, like the woman in the office that sends the meeting minutes and plans parties and gives everybody reminders that they need to update their CPR training.
I mean, you know, their diversity program.
Yeah.
Like a lot of this stuff isn't necessary.
So if you got women out of those two categories of jobs, I think it would clean up a lot of the women in the workforce who shouldn't be there.
But there is a third category of jobs, you know, and roles that women historically fulfilled traditionally that I don't really have an issue with some of them having now.
And I'm going to focus on the role of midwives and birthing doulas because I think those are great jobs for women to go into.
There was a debate that went viral about a month ago between Anna Kasparian from Young Turks and Pearl Davis, who's part of the men's rights movement.
It was about feminism.
Anna Kasparian, you know, who says she's not a feminist, was more in support of feminism than Pearl was.
She was arguing against it.
Normally, I would agree with the anti-feminist, but in this debate, I mean, I don't know, Pearl in general is so obnoxious that in this debate, I found things that both of them said that I didn't really agree with.
Like, like when Pearl was talking about jobs women shouldn't have, I agreed with most of her points.
Like, she said women shouldn't be on the front lines of the police force, they shouldn't be pilots, and she listed a bunch of dangerous jobs that men are better at, and I fully agree with that.
But then she said something I did not agree with.
She joked about how if we kicked all women out of their health care jobs tomorrow, you know, we could just replace them with men and everything would be fine.
That's something I don't really fully agree with because when it comes to health care, I think there's certain jobs women have that I think women are naturally good at.
I'm not just talking about nursing.
If we, like, let's say, like, if we were to kick women out of health care, I think we could focus on keeping them, you know, from being brain surgeons, heart surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, dentists, eye doctors.
But when it comes to the branches of medicine that deal specifically with the intimate care of women or caring for infants and small children, I think women are very gifted and needed in those areas.
And labor and delivery is a good example of this.
If you go into most labor and delivery sections of a hospital, like 90% of the staff right now are usually female.
You know, I don't think it makes sense to get women out of those types of health care jobs.
And I say this because historically, delivering babies was, you know, a woman's job for most of history.
You know, it was usually like the old woman in the village who would deliver the baby and or and give the woman advice on how to nurse her baby and take care of it.
You know, it was kind of a local thing that was done.
And around, and I kind of read up on the history of this, I find it interesting, around the late 1800s, and this was around the time that white men started making all these advancements in medicine that made our lives so much easier that I'm thankful for.
It was around the late 1800s that men took over the childbirth industry only as doctors, and they stayed in that position for a century about it was only as doctors because the nursing positions were still dominated by women during that time.
In recent decades, it's kind of tilting back towards women again, even in the doctor positions in labor and delivery.
And during this time, men made a lot of advancements that I'm thankful for that have made labor and delivery safer and better for women.
In England, the history is a little bit different because around the late 1800s, male doctors would usually step in, you know, only if the woman's life was in danger, whereas most of the other births, I mean, I think based on what I read, were still carried out by midwives, like even going into the 20th century for a while.
But anyways, so all this aside, I think even today, like if you have a high-risk pregnancy or your doctor tells you you're going to need a C-section, and you also have that feminine intuition that, and I think women do have good intuition about, you know, what's safe for their delivery a lot of times and how they should go about it.
But like if you have that intuition when your doctor tells you that, I think you need to take it seriously.
You need to have your birth in a hospital.
You need to find the best doctor you can.
In America right now, most of the high-risk pregnancies are usually black women, and that's where most of the deaths are occurring from childbirth.
A lot of it has to do with their lifestyle.
I think it's very sad.
I'm not celebrating that or laughing about that in any way.
Now, at the opposite extreme, you have this growing trend of these healthy young white women who have healthy births and they're choosing to have them within their homes the more traditional way with a midwife or a birth canola.
I personally don't see anything wrong with that growing trend.
Because of all the advancements that white men have made in medicine over the past century, the whole midwife profession is such a safe profession now.
And it's not like what it was in the past.
And I just, I don't see any evidence that women are dying from it or anything.
I think these midwives are good at what they do.
I don't have any issue with women going into this profession.
And another thing that's good about the midwife profession is it's just a way for us to move certain things away from big medicine and take it back into our own personal control, the way we did things traditionally for so long.
That's another reason why it's a good thing.
And there's other things.
There's other areas of medicine where we should be doing that too, not just childbirth.
But anyways, my overall point is I tend to, like, there's a lot of things I'll go in the middle on.
Like, I don't, I think feminists are wrong that women can do whatever they want and they can do any job they want.
They're wrong about that.
And I already listed a bunch of jobs I don't think they should do.
But on the other hand, I sometimes don't agree with everybody on the right who says women just shouldn't do anything because there are a small percentage of roles that women kind of always did fulfill in their communities.
And I think it's okay for them to still do it now.
I'm done.
Okay, well, let me just say.
Always well prepared.
Always well prepared and ready to go.
Go get the energizer bunny.
But let me tell you, what I was thinking about is how the medical profession has gone exactly 180 degrees different.
Now, straight white males can barely get into medical school.
You have to be a soy boy or a homosexual if you're a male in order to get in.
We'll keep the girls as nurses, school teachers, secretaries, and actresses, and that'll open up some of those docks again.
Yeah, right.
Well, the thing is, they want men to be leaders and to make money.
Well, they can't do it if they can't get top jobs, and they're giving them to everyone except white males.
It's a problem, and it's a true one and a real one.
Courtney, I'm glad you were able to get it all in under the wire.
