Aired: 2026-04-05
Duration: 54:44


=== Welcome to The Political Cesspool (12:13) ===

[00:00:01]  You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is The Political Cesspool.
[00:00:13]  The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
[00:00:22]  And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
[00:00:30]  We praise thee, O God, for the Spirit of light, who has shown us our Savior and scattered our night.
[00:00:42]  Hallelujah, thine the glory.
[00:00:45]  Hallelujah, Amen.
[00:00:48]  Hallelujah, thine the glory, revive us again.
[00:00:55]  All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain, who hath borne all our sins and hath cleansed every stain.
[00:01:13]  Thy name of glory, hallelujah.
[00:01:36]  us.
[00:01:45]  And happy Easter, everybody.
[00:01:47]  It is the weekend that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
[00:01:51]  Welcome to tonight's live broadcast of TPC.
[00:01:54]  It's Saturday evening, April the 4th.
[00:01:56]  May we all be revived as individuals, as men of the West, as a collective, as a people, as a race.
[00:02:04]  And this, I say it all the time, Keith Alexander.
[00:02:08]  And by the way, my friend, it's great to be back with you in the studio tonight after wrapping up March Around the World.
[00:02:13]  We were at Dixie Republic last week with all of those fine people.
[00:02:17]  And to be back here tonight as the TPC calendar once again returns to Confederate History Month and this annual Easter convergence along with Confederate History Month.
[00:02:29]  Tonight, we are going to have a little bit of everything.
[00:02:33]  A little bit later this hour, Rick Tyler is going to be back with us.
[00:02:36]  He's going to deliver a full review and assessment of last week's Nationalist Solutions Conference, which was held in West Virginia the very same weekend we were in South Carolina.
[00:02:46]  In the second hour, Patrick Martin will be back.
[00:02:49]  He'll be wearing dual hats this evening.
[00:02:52]  First, as a Southern nationalist and the co editor and a contributing author to the Honorable Calls of Free South, that book we put out about three years ago, he's going to officially, I guess last week was unofficially, maybe tonight's officially.
[00:03:06]  Either way, we were transitioning last week into Confederate History Month.
[00:03:09]  He's going to kick off that coverage, but he's also going to be putting on a little bit of analysis on the ongoing conflict in Iran.
[00:03:17]  We're going to split that hour, and then that's not all.
[00:03:20]  Third hour, as we've done for the past several years, we're going to go live to Pastor Brett McAtee in Michigan.
[00:03:26]  He is the pastor of Christ at the King Reformed Church there in Michigan, and he's going to be presenting that special Easter message we do this time every year.
[00:03:34]  Keith, it is great to have you back.
[00:03:36]  Happy Easter.
[00:03:37]  Next year, Easter will be at the end of March.
[00:03:39]  You never know about Easter.
[00:03:40]  But tonight, it's tonight, and it's a lot of fun as we blend in our faith, our heritage, all of it together.
[00:03:49]  This is just everything that makes this show unique in one episode tonight.
[00:03:55]  That's right.
[00:03:56]  And, you know, Easter happened during Passover, you know, under the Jewish calendar, where they would kill the lamb and then, you know, the best one year foal, and they would get his blood and put it on the left side of the door, the right side of the door, and the lentil that went across the door.
[00:04:19]  And if they did that, the angel of death would pass over them.
[00:04:23]  So that's really where we get that saying that as Christians are all familiar with being saved by the blood of the Lamb.
[00:04:30]  And Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice.
[00:04:33]  And, you know, as happy as we get about the children and the Easter eggs and the Easter bunny and all that, we need to remember that Easter is a Christian holiday and probably the most important Christian holiday, more so than Christmas.
[00:04:50]  And therefore, you know, we're not going to neglect our Christian background and our Christian faith in this.
[00:04:57]  And let me tell you, it's wonderful to be in a community of Christians.
[00:05:04]  That takes their religion seriously.
[00:05:06]  And that's what our audience is.
[00:05:08]  Well, you know, it is that.
[00:05:10]  It is, of course, this is a pro white radio program, but we're also Christians and we're also Southerners.
[00:05:19]  And tonight, as I say, it all just basically is blended together.
[00:05:24]  We are at once pro white, pro Christian, and pro South.
[00:05:27]  And there's really not another show like it.
[00:05:30]  And it's a show that I'm very eager to.
[00:05:35]  And I have a great amount of zeal within me to present to you tonight as we get into it.
[00:05:40]  And we will get into it segment after segment.
[00:05:42]  Some of this great Southern gospel music.
[00:05:46]  If you didn't grow up that way, maybe you can't relate, but I did.
[00:05:50]  And these are the songs.
[00:05:51]  Every song you hear played tonight on the program were songs that I grew up singing that I can still sing from heart just as eagerly and as readily as I can sing anything from the Four Seasons catalog of hits.
[00:06:07]  But before we go a moment further, I just want to say thank you.
[00:06:11]  Thank you, and we love you.
[00:06:14]  Thank you for inviting us into your homes every week.
[00:06:17]  Thank you for helping to sustain our work.
[00:06:20]  There have only been two times in the past.
[00:06:22]  Well, you know, of course, going back to the beginning, every week was life or death.
[00:06:28]  The last several years, though, when we lost our credit card processing and when we lost a very big contributor earlier this year, those were some times where I got a little bit nervous.
[00:06:37]  And you could say, well, you know, you just cut your budget.
[00:06:39]  Well, you could do that if you were spending in excess, but we've never done that.
[00:06:43]  If we cut anything now, you would be cutting things that we have fought hard to attain.
[00:06:49]  You don't want to cut back to two hours a week instead of three.
[00:06:52]  You don't want to cut any of your AM affiliates.
[00:06:55]  You worked hard to advance.
[00:06:56]  And if you start retreating, you can't cut your way to prosperity.
[00:07:01]  You can't win by giving away ground that was hard fought and hard earned.
[00:07:06]  You want to either, at the very least, maintain, if not continue to advance.
[00:07:10]  And because of your generosity, ladies and gentlemen in our listening family, you have certainly kept us safe.
[00:07:17]  We still got to hit every quarter, the second quarter, third quarter, the Christmas fundraising drive, and the fourth quarter.
[00:07:24]  We need you all of these quarters.
[00:07:26]  But this quarter was one of the best we've ever had.
[00:07:29]  And I sent an email when I got to the studio tonight to Sam Dixon to thank him for those books that he signed.
[00:07:36]  Sam could basically call it a career, according to our audience, and just sit and sign these books all day and put them on eBay because it was a very good quarter.
[00:07:46]  And I thank you for that.
[00:07:47]  It is an honor to part with you on behalf of something that is so.
[00:07:51]  Time and battle tested, and I look forward to seeing this adventure continue for a long time to come.
[00:07:56]  Matter of fact, far from just hanging on, there are some things going on behind the scenes that we may be able to do.
[00:08:05]  It is astonishing to see the extent to which.
[00:08:11]  The crew of Liberty News Radio have advanced in video production.
[00:08:16]  So, Sam Bushman, who is the owner of the network that syndicates our show, now we're on the local flagship here, AM 1600 in Memphis, but Sam has gotten video quality now on his show that really exceeds anything else I've seen.
[00:08:32]  And it's at the very least on par with what you would see on Fox News in terms of the cryons and the packaging and the graphics and just the music, everything.
[00:08:43]  If you go to libertyroundtable.com, that's Sam's show, you can see what he's doing.
[00:08:48]  He's doing video shows in addition to the radio.
[00:08:51]  And I think we may start doing that, Keith.
[00:08:54]  I think there is a universe that exists that by later this year, TPC could be broadcast both the radio show that you know and love, and nothing will change there, but we could branch out into having all of this live on television.
[00:09:11]  I mean, we'd have to spruce up the studio a little bit.
[00:09:14]  Like a podcast?
[00:09:15]  No, no, no, no.
[00:09:16]  It's not a podcast.
[00:09:17]  I mean, it's a television show.
[00:09:20]  Well, it would be, yes, it would be.
[00:09:21]  Rush Limbaugh did it, right?
[00:09:23]  I mean, Rush Limbaugh was in his basement and he did the radio show, but it was also, there was a camera on him, and so you could watch what was going on in the studio.
[00:09:32]  And I think we may do something like that because we have gotten to that point now here at this network where it's just incredible what they're doing.
[00:09:39]  I got to say one more thing, though.
[00:09:41]  I got to say one more thing.
[00:09:43]  And that is, you go back all these years and.
[00:09:49]  You go back, Kevin McDonald was playing around with some of the AI stuff, and he was asking, he was in an AI debate with either ChatGPT or Grok or whatever about his book, The Culture of Critique.
[00:10:03]  And I said, Well, it'd be interesting to see what would happen if I did the same for the radio program.
[00:10:08]  He just posted this at the Occidental Observer a couple of weeks ago.
[00:10:13]  When you Google the term, when you Google the political cesspool, I don't guess this should come as a surprise now, but I was a little bit surprised.
[00:10:20]  The first thing that comes up is the radio show.
[00:10:22]  I mean, that was a phrase, a slogan.
[00:10:25]  It was a term in popular usage, which is why we went with the name.
[00:10:31]  People say you shouldn't have named it that way.
[00:10:33]  To be fair, if I could go back, maybe I would name it something a little more uplifting.
[00:10:36]  But what I didn't want to be is vain.
[00:10:39]  And I didn't want it to be the James Edwards show.
[00:10:41]  I didn't want it to be anything that centered around an individual.
[00:10:44]  Should have maybe done something a little more uplifting, but who knows if it would have been different and if it would have turned out this way, if it had been any other thing than what it is.
[00:10:53]  I'm going to tell you a quick story about that.
[00:10:55]  Then we're going to get Keith to walk us into Confederate History Month before we bring on Rick Tyler.
[00:11:01]  Keith's going to take over the next section.
[00:11:05]  Stay tuned.
[00:11:12]  Lynched for simply being black.
[00:11:15]  Hard to believe, but that's what was done.
[00:11:17]  And some people still want to do that.
[00:11:19]  This is why National Conservative launched the Interracial Homicide Tracking Project.
[00:11:24]  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.
[00:11:36]  We plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government crime stats.
[00:11:41]  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.

[00:12:02]  Imagine a school where faith and integrity are at its center, where heritage and responsibility instill character, where educating both hearts and minds brings about academic excellence.

=== Faith, Heritage, and Academic Excellence (15:30) ===

[00:12:15]  There is a school in American Fork where character and embracing the providence of a living God are fundamental, where students' national test scores Average near the 90th percentile.
[00:12:27]  Based on LDS principles and a love of country, now in our 39th year, American Heritage School is accepting fall enrollment for kindergarten through high school.
[00:12:39]  What would you do for your child?
[00:12:42]  Give them an education that will prepare them for life.
[00:12:45]  Located east of the Temple in American Fork, American Heritage School is a remarkable and affordable alternative.
[00:12:53]  Visit us, find us online, or in the yellow pages, American Heritage School.
[00:12:59]  In American Fork, standing on the promises I cannot fall, listening every moment to the Spirit's call, Resting in my Savior as my all-in-all, standing on the promises of God.
[00:13:22]  If you were
[00:14:06]  in Summer Avenue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee in the 1980s, you would have seen a very young James Edwards singing songs like that, and that very song indeed, to the very best of my ability.
[00:14:19]  Lighthouse Baptist Church in the mid 90s and on into the 2000s and beyond.
[00:14:24]  It was the same church, it just changed names, and it was the same pastor, of course, my pastor.
[00:14:28]  God bless you.
[00:14:30]  And the pastor.
[00:14:30]  James Edwards.
[00:14:33]  Although I got older, but singing those songs, and it was a wonderful way.
[00:14:37]  To grow up, and I don't know if I would be here had it been any different.
[00:14:41]  Pardon me, folks, I got a little long winded that first segment.
[00:14:43]  I wanted to wrap this up with a very neat bow, but what I was going to say is going back, you know, maybe you changed the name to something like Golden Dawn or something with the word Renaissance in it, but here's what I know.
[00:14:56]  There was actually, you remember Jack Smith?
[00:14:59]  Do indeed.
[00:14:59]  Jack Smith was a local attorney here in Memphis, and he used to give to the show.
[00:15:03]  And he said, This was a Harvard law graduate.
[00:15:08]  He was a Harvard law graduate, and he was very pro white.
[00:15:12]  And he said, I just can't give you any more money unless you change the name.
[00:15:16]  I said, Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, Jack, but, you know, we've kind of broken through here.
[00:15:20]  And if you, you know, do it over and we have to start over, you know, people are not going to know the brand.
[00:15:25]  And I don't think he ever gave anymore after that.
[00:15:27]  But then he died.
[00:15:28]  I mean, he died a long time.
[00:15:30]  This was a long time ago.
[00:15:31]  This was in, you know, the, you know, Long time ago.
[00:15:34]  But what I was going to say was, you know, stalwart for our cause.
[00:15:38]  No, I like Jack a lot.
[00:15:39]  He was a great guy.
[00:15:41]  I was a bodybuilder.
[00:15:42]  But the political cesspool, that is not to define us, it is to define what we are fighting against and what we must navigate ourselves through.
[00:15:51]  The SPLC always got a kick out of it by always referring to it as the appropriately named political cesspool when they were used to be, you know, they would report on us just about every week before more targets.
[00:16:02]  Presented themselves about 10 years ago.
[00:16:04]  They realize they're giving us free advertising.
[00:16:06]  We were the only ones doing pro white media back, you know, for the first 10 years of our run.
[00:16:11]  But who knows if it would have turned out this way had it been any other?
[00:16:15]  You don't want to go back in history and have the butterfly effect and change anything.
[00:16:19]  By 2006, we were front page news.
[00:16:22]  2007, we were getting regular primetime network television appearances.
[00:16:26]  And it wasn't until the late 2010s, well after, you know, right around Trump's first election, when more commentators began presenting themselves.
[00:16:35]  As pro white commentators and the orcs moved on to those targets.
[00:16:40]  But, you know, as I said, TPC has supplanted the term itself.
[00:16:43]  This was something that I found, you know, just interesting.
[00:16:46]  And so if you Google just the term the political cesspool or just political cesspool without the V, the first thing that comes up is this The Political Cesspool is a weekly far right white nationalist radio program based in Memphis, Tennessee, founded by James Edwards.
[00:17:02]  The show advocates for what it calls the dispossessed majority, promoting pro white views and paleoconservative philosophy.
[00:17:10]  And then it says also, as a secondary concern, outside of the specific radio program, the phrase political cesspool is also used as a pejorative metaphor by commentators and politicians to describe perceived corruption, toxic environments, and historical failure.
[00:17:30]  So I think, you know, Keith, it just shows that you've done something.
[00:17:34]  If you can take a term that was in popular usage and as a play on words, apply it to.
[00:17:42]  A nascent radio program, and that radio program, 20 years later, redefined the term itself.
[00:17:48]  And, ladies and gentlemen, you made that happen.
[00:17:51]  That's absolutely right.
[00:17:52]  You've redefined the term political cesspool, and it will forever be associated with you in this program.
[00:17:59]  Well, and with you, and with our friend, the Bombardier, and Bill Rowland, and Winston Smith, and everybody else who's been a part of this show, and certainly everybody who supported it.
[00:18:09]  Well, that having been said, let's get down to work.
[00:18:12]  Now.
[00:18:12]  Thank you again for a great first quarter, for shoring us up, for solidifying us, for being there for us, and we will continue to fight for you.
[00:18:21]  Keith, it is Confederate History Month now, and this is a very special time.
[00:18:26]  We'll have some very special music throughout the rest of the month, some Southern themed music from the war years, and just some Southern themed music from after that.
[00:18:37]  But your take on Confederate History Month, your take.
[00:18:42]  On Southern Heritage, your take on why we still do this in the current year, 2026.
[00:18:49]  We've been doing it since the very first year we went on the air, and why we will always do it.
[00:18:54]  I think it's more important now than ever, James, and I'll tell you why.
[00:18:59]  I've, you know, kind of made a specialty of looking at the civil rights movement and taking an attitude of contrarianism that there is nothing to be celebrated in it.
[00:19:14]  It was the beginning of the end.
[00:19:16]  For the white working class and lower middle class of America.
[00:19:21]  Basically, in the past, well, one of the main things that the Civil Rights Movement did, particularly the Brown decision, racial integration of the public schools, was to destroy the quality of public education in many school systems in America, particularly school systems that had a large black population, like Memphis.
[00:19:42]  And this has worked to the great detriment of the white working class and the lower middle class whites who basically depended on good, high quality public education, free education, in order to ascend socially up the social ladder, so to speak.
[00:20:06]  Back when everybody sent their kids in Memphis to the public schools, there was a lot of.
[00:20:13]  You know, upward social mobility that happened as a result of that.
[00:20:17]  You know, a pretty girl from the working class or the lower middle class would meet some boy from the upper class, and guess what?
[00:20:25]  They get married, have children, and it was really a good situation until that was ruined by the civil rights movement, which was the brainchild of Jewish power and influence.
[00:20:38]  Like everything else that has happened since World War II, Every social movement, every radical egalitarian movement has flown under false colors.
[00:20:52]  For example, the civil rights movement was supposedly pro black.
[00:20:55]  It wasn't.
[00:20:56]  It was really intended to be anti white.
[00:21:00]  The feminist movement wasn't pro woman.
[00:21:02]  It actually was and intended by its creators to be anti of male and anti of, let me see, then we had the.
[00:21:16]  Homosexual rights movement, which was supposed to be pro homosexual but was actually intended to be and was anti heterosexual.
[00:21:26]  So, see, all of these things have worked against good, God fearing, straight thinking white people, particularly people in the lower middle class and in the working class.
[00:21:40]  And when you're talking about people like that on this continent, where do they most likely reside?
[00:21:47]  In the South.
[00:21:49]  And that's it.
[00:21:49]  And that is why it is a distinct and separate people.
[00:21:52]  And I appreciate, listen, we're pro white.
[00:21:54]  I think that's a universal thing that everybody in this audience can agree on.
[00:21:58]  We're pro South.
[00:21:58]  Not everybody's a Southerner, but I think everybody outside of the South, whether they be in the North or in the Mountain West or the West Coast, even if they're tuning into this show, we have friends and supporters all up and down the West Coast, but even in Europe and around the world.
[00:22:13]  We were talking about Philip DeWinter having the Confederate flag in his office.
[00:22:17]  I mean, everybody appreciates that.
[00:22:19]  And we appreciate them.
[00:22:21]  We appreciate them.
[00:22:22]  We appreciate you if you were not born in the South, whether you're living here now or you're still somewhere else.
[00:22:27]  We appreciate you.
[00:22:28]  We appreciate the people who are Christians and we appreciate the people who are not Christians in our listening audience.
[00:22:33]  We work with you all.
[00:22:34]  We love you all.
[00:22:35]  We're all fighting on the areas of agreement that we can close ranks on, whether it be race, whether it be ideology, whether it can be faith.
[00:22:44]  Sometimes it can be all three.
[00:22:45]  And if it can be all three, I mean, you know, obviously the bonds of affection are even stronger.
[00:22:49]  But yes, there is something special about the South and tying it all in.
[00:22:54]  As we are going to do tonight is going to be a special thing.
[00:22:58]  But yes, I mean, the things you're describing is in many ways the people who have always been against that, they could have been a little more effective.
[00:23:07]  I mean, we're doing our best.
[00:23:09]  But there is something uniquely Southern about opposing a lot of this stuff that you don't see in a lot of the other states.
[00:23:15]  Well, what we did wrong was we assumed that it was appropriate to use what has come to be known as lawfare to affect.
[00:23:24]  Broad sweeping societal change.
[00:23:28]  We were basically not given a vote.
[00:23:30]  We were not allowed to have media that basically spread our viewpoint to the world about it.
[00:23:40]  This was the days before the internet and before computers and things like that.
[00:23:44]  So basically, we were reduced to mimeographing pages out and putting them under the windshield wipers of cars to try to get our message out then.
[00:23:55]  Jewish power and influence controlled the media, they controlled the televisions, they controlled the radios, they controlled the movies, they controlled the big magazines and daily newspapers.
[00:24:06]  And because of that, we were kind of besieged and people were confused.
[00:24:11]  And quite frankly, a lot of Southerners, with one resounding defeat after another, because we didn't have the weapons, we were trying to fight with bows and arrows against people that had machine guns.
[00:24:22]  What about the cotton clads?
[00:24:24]  The Battle of Memphis, which was a naval battle on the Mississippi River.
[00:24:27]  We had cotton clans.
[00:24:28]  We had barges with cottons as security as we were going against the iron clans.
[00:24:33]  And see, that's why, you know, a lot of white Southerners got what I call Stockholm Syndrome.
[00:24:39]  But we need to rally around that Confederate flag.
[00:24:42]  That was our sign back in the civil rights.
[00:24:46]  And the civil, yes, the so called civil rights around the world.
[00:24:49]  It's a resistance to tyranny.
[00:24:50]  We'll be right back.

[00:25:02]  I'm Mary Rose.
[00:25:03]  Georgia's voting system is at the center of a dispute that state lawmakers have yet to resolve.
[00:25:09]  White House correspondent Greg Clexton reports.
[00:25:12]  The Georgia General Assembly ended its annual session on Friday without a plan for new equipment to overhaul the state's voting system by a July deadline.
[00:25:21]  Lawmakers failed to offer a solution after months of debate, and that's raising questions about how Georgians will vote in November.
[00:25:28]  Currently, voters in that battleground state make their choices on Dominion voting machines.
[00:25:33]  Which then print ballots with a QR code.
[00:25:36]  President Trump has targeted those machines following his 2020 election loss, but state law still requires counties to use the machines.

[00:29:00]  God tells us in Hebrews 10 25 that we should gather together to worship Him.
[00:29:05]  This isn't a request.
[00:29:06]  It is a command.
[00:29:07]  Going to church isn't an option.
[00:29:09]  It is your Christian duty.
[00:29:11]  With the hellish apostasy of mainstream churches, attending church these days can be difficult.

[00:30:55]  Disneyland version of the great Southern Gospel song, He Keeps Me Singing.
[00:30:59]  People always ask, you know, James, how are you such a happy warrior?
[00:31:02]  Why you always got a smile on your face after all the defeats and setbacks?
[00:31:05]  That song explains it, folks.
[00:31:07]  And I think no better time than Easter to remind you of that.
[00:31:11]  Welcome back to the show.
[00:31:13]  We're still waiting on Rick Tyler.
[00:31:15]  And while we're waiting, Keith, I'll just take a moment to make mention to the audience that there was a featured article written by our friend, the French Canadian journalist Remy Tremblay.
[00:31:28]  That appeared in the March April 2026 edition of Heritage and Destiny magazine.
[00:31:33]  That's a British publication.
[00:31:34]  I'll just read a couple of excerpts from it.
[00:31:36]  It is a long article.
[00:31:39]  I flew in to meet James Edwards, the openly pro white conservative radio host of The Political Cesspool, a former campaigner for presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.
[00:31:48]  Edwards has been hosting his live radio show since 2004, a remarkable feat in a media landscape where right wing voices often burn out quickly.
[00:31:57]  It was his co host, Keith Alexander, who volunteered to show me around the city.
[00:32:01]  During the day, before I would meet Edwards that evening to do a special summer broadcast for TPC, Alexander picked me up at my hotel and treated me to what he called a politically incorrect tour of what has become America's most dangerous city.
[00:32:17]  Now, I can't read this whole thing to you, it is long.
[00:32:21]  I would encourage you to read it for yourself or subscribe to this publication, but I'll read a few more things.
[00:32:28]  Keith Alexander, a retired attorney, reminded me of an old school 1960s segregationist, good natured, And full of puns.
[00:32:37]  After our day in Memphis, including a visit to the site where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, we met up with James Edwards for a traditional barbecue dinner.
[00:32:46]  In the often fragmented world of the American far right, Edwards stands out.
[00:32:52]  His friendly demeanor and openness have made him a rare figure who is widely respected across the spectrum.
[00:32:58]  That may be the autism spectrum, but I'm not sure what he's referring to there.
[00:33:02]  And true to his reputation, he proved to be an excellent host.
[00:33:07]  Over plates of catfish and barbecue, he explained that my visit had inspired him to organize a special episode.
[00:33:13]  A few topics were planned, but the bulk of the show would be an open discussion about my day in Memphis and my initial impressions of the American South.
[00:33:22]  Edwards had promised a laid back format, and he delivered.
[00:33:25]  His studio setup, his generosity, and his professionalism exceeded my expectations, and at the end of the show, he even surprised me with a segment featuring my fellow Canadian, Paul Fromm.
[00:33:37]  Throughout the trip, one question kept surfacing in my mind.
[00:33:41]  In a city where whites are now a minority, what exactly are men like Edwards and Alexander fighting for?
[00:33:46]  Alexander's answer came fast, like a whip segregation.
[00:33:50]  Edwards took a moment to reflect before answering that he was giving a voice to those who had none.
[00:33:55]  I remember, of course, Keith Remy's visit.
[00:33:58]  We actually had three such visits last year where people from out of town or even out of the country, in two cases, came to Memphis to set in for full three hour special shows.
[00:34:10]  Remy Tremblay from Canada, Eric Orwall from Return to the Land in Arkansas.
[00:34:14]  I saw him last week at Dixie Republic.
[00:34:16]  And Ethan Ralph, who is a Memphian by birth, but now down in Mexico.
[00:34:21]  He was up here in November.
[00:34:23]  So we did three of those shows last year.
[00:34:24]  But I recall Remy was the first, and I remember it with great fondness.
[00:34:28]  If you missed it, be sure to check it out in TPC's broadcast archives.
[00:34:32]  He was back with us last summer.
[00:34:34]  And again, the complete article that I was just reading from can be found in the current edition of Heritage and Destiny magazine in the United Kingdom.
[00:34:43]  That was a fun one and always good.
[00:34:46]  Those tours are legendary.
[00:34:48]  We give people a little bit of history of the South and of Memphis to be sure.
[00:34:53]  Well, the history of Memphis is a history of the South and a history of the civil rights movement.
[00:34:57]  I think that there's no city that is more associated with those three movements and ideas than Memphis.
[00:35:07]  Memphis basically is ground zero.
[00:35:11]  Founded by Andrew Jackson, James Winchester, and John Overton.
[00:35:16]  That's right.
[00:35:17]  Yeah.
[00:35:18]  It was kind of a real estate development at the time.
[00:35:21]  And what it was, it was fortuitously.
[00:35:26]  Positioned on the river and became a trading outpost at the very beginning.
[00:35:31]  The cotton capital of the South, it grew into.
[00:35:33]  Right.
[00:35:34]  It had some competition in its early years at Randolph, Tennessee, which was one of the Chickasaw Bluffs further up the river from Memphis, but Memphis soon eclipsed it.
[00:35:44]  Then, basically, when they made the Memphis to Charleston Railroad with private funds, by the way, unlike all the northern railroads that use federal funds, basically money obtained through tariffs against.
[00:36:01]  European manufactured goods that were bought by Southerners and paid by Southerners, our position as a trading center was, you know, and a transportation hub was cemented.
[00:36:14]  And of course, today we have things like FedEx and all sorts of other transportation.
[00:36:22]  We have five Grand Trunk Railroads coming through here, for example.
[00:36:26]  This is what Memphis has.
[00:36:28]  And because of that, we're a little bit different from the rest of Tennessee.
[00:36:33]  Tennessee, they talk about the three states of Tennessee the Delta, the Plateau, which is, you know, the Cumberland Plateau, and then the Appalachian Mountains.
[00:36:43]  And we're basically the unofficial capital of the Delta.
[00:36:50]  They have a Mississippi Delta, a Tennessee Delta, and the biggest Delta of all is the Arkansas Delta.
[00:36:56]  But that's where all of the, you know, plantations were, and Memphis was the big trading place.
[00:37:03]  I remember as a child, I always heard that the two biggest cities in Mississippi were Memphis and New Orleans.
[00:37:11]  Because that's really what it was.
[00:37:13]  And, you know, for all intents and purposes.
[00:37:16]  Well, you know, when I was at Dixie Republic last week, they referred to Memphis as Northern Mississippi.
[00:37:21]  Well, that is.
[00:37:22]  It is in so many ways.
[00:37:25]  And also, you know, basically, there's just, if you carved out an area called the Delta, Memphis would be in the middle and it would be basically the biggest city and the biggest commercial center.
[00:37:38]  And it always was.
[00:37:39]  Well, that's why my grandparents, you know, who were born, both sets of my grandparents, maternal and paternal, were born in rural areas of northwestern Mississippi.
[00:37:54]  And when they found each other and got married, they were born in the 30s, found each other, got married, and then in the 50s moved to the nearest big city to find work.
[00:38:02]  And that was Memphis.
[00:38:04]  And that's where my parents were born.
[00:38:06]  And now I'm a second generation Tennessean.
[00:38:08]  But before that, all, you know, it goes, my family tree goes back through Mississippi on both sides.
[00:38:12]  Well, it's like the Faulkner short story, The Reavers.
[00:38:17]  Basically, when people from the rural area of the Delta went someplace to go to a big city for one reason or another to kick up their heels to buy expensive goods or whatnot, this is where they went.
[00:38:33]  They went to Memphis.
[00:38:34]  And Memphis, because of that, has a unique position in America.
[00:38:40]  You know, it's where country music and blues music came together to create rock and roll.
[00:38:48]  And Memphis was always, it always had a lot more blacks than, I mean, it was a totally different thing through the 1960s because of segregation.
[00:38:56]  It still remained one of America's most cleanest cities.
[00:38:59]  You had city parks decorated with lots of flower arrangements, Confederate flag arrangements.
[00:39:06]  But it always had a lot of blacks here because.
[00:39:09]  And everybody got along famously before the Civil Rights Movement, which was an effort to.
[00:39:15]  Under cultural Marxism, they decided that Marx and Engels were wrong to think that economic class was the great fault line in human society.
[00:39:24]  The cultural Marxists out of the University of Frankfurt felt that race was a much more important thing and that the way to start a successful revolution was to aggravate racial animus, and Memphis was ground zero for that aggravation.
[00:39:39]  Well, I just want to say this before we go to the next break, and that is it's always rewarding and always something we take delight in when word of the program, an encounter that somebody has had with us or the show by extension.
[00:39:58]  Reaches the mother continent.
[00:40:03]  And to have Remy's article in Heritage and Destiny, that is in the March, April 2026 edition of Heritage and Destiny.

=== Gospel Songs and Community Needs (14:32) ===

[00:40:11]  And it's a three page piece.
[00:40:12]  I only read a few paragraphs, but that's very good.
[00:40:16]  And a lot of people are reading it in Europe.
[00:40:19]  Let me tell you that Memphis and our radio show have a lot to tell the rest of the world about race relations and about race realities.
[00:40:29]  And that's what we've made our mission to be, basically.
[00:40:32]  We are the Southern Christian version of conservatism.
[00:40:38]  And make no mistake about it, I'm going to bring up a point here that we've never really made on this show.
[00:40:43]  I'm going to give you one example that I think this particular example has not been made.
[00:40:47]  We're going to do that with Patrick Martin in the second hour just how intertwined Christianity and the Confederacy were and white nationalism and Christian nationalism are.
[00:40:58]  We're going to talk about that in the second hour.
[00:41:01]  Stay tuned.

[00:43:00]  Let us labor for the master from the dawn to say, sir, let us talk of all his wondrous love and care.
[00:44:33]  Such a beautiful expression of the faith that the Southern tradition, Southern Christianity here in the American South.
[00:44:43]  That's a word, by the way.
[00:44:44]  Yonder is a word we got to get put back into popular usage.
[00:44:49]  That is, my grandparents used to say yonder a lot.
[00:44:53]  You know, where is that, grandma?
[00:44:54]  Over yonder.
[00:44:55]  Yonder is a measurement of distance, if you don't know what the word means, because I haven't heard it in a long time.
[00:45:00]  But what it is, it's like the King James Bible that has all that Elizabethan, like thee and thine, and stuff like this.
[00:45:08]  This is our heritage, the original King James version of the Bible, which is the most poetic version that ever was.
[00:45:18]  Well, it's just the way God spoke it.
[00:45:19]  And it's just perfect.
[00:45:21]  And quite frankly, whenever I am quoting the Bible, I always lapse into this, you know, Elizabethan type of talk.
[00:45:30]  Thou and thine.
[00:45:31]  Yeah, and stuff like that.
[00:45:32]  And that's it.
[00:45:33]  You know, like the Lord is my shepherd.
[00:45:35]  Thou shalt not want and stuff like that.
[00:45:37]  When's the last time in regular conversation you said thou shalt?
[00:45:40]  Don't.
[00:45:41]  Go into a modern day Christian bookstore and get any of these new versions with year 2000.
[00:45:50]  You do not want to read a heretical or apostate Bible.
[00:45:55]  You need to get the real McCoy, which is the original King James or a slightly revised version, but you do not want to get the Good News Bible or all these other.
[00:46:08]  What about the Schofield Bible?
[00:46:10]  No, forget that.
[00:46:11]  That's a little bit older, but definitely not that.
[00:46:13]  Hey, very quickly, Keith, I just want to.
[00:46:15]  Say, yeah, mark that off your list.
[00:46:18]  Yeah, original, like Sam Goldwin, the guy at MGM Studio said, include me out when it comes to Schofield, anything past the 1500s or 1600s.
[00:46:28]  We don't want you, don't want anything with annotations, you don't want anybody giving you their opinion on what the scripture means.
[00:46:35]  There was one thing where Abraham was talking about, you know, take a Wife of my people, and the annotation reads, Well, you know, of course he wasn't talking about race, you know, but anyway, which means translation, he obviously was talking about race.
[00:46:58]  So, very quickly, I would just ask our producer Liz if she can try Rick one more time.
[00:47:03]  I can count on less than five fingers the number of times I guess has not shown up, and Rick Tyler is just such a stalwart and such a great guy.
[00:47:14]  I'm hoping it's nothing more than a dead cell phone battery because I confirmed that he would be on the show with him a couple of hours ago and he was all set to go.
[00:47:23]  I think the last time we had a guest that missed an appointment was in 2017 to show you how rare it is.
[00:47:29]  So we'll try to reschedule Rick for another hour this month to update us on the Nationalist Solutions Conference, which was taking place last week at this very time while we were simultaneously at Dixie Republic.
[00:47:45]  And a lot of overlapping things happening, a lot of encouraging, positive things happening for people, and you'll hear about it all here on TPC.
[00:47:54]  But since.
[00:47:56]  Okay.
[00:47:57]  It doesn't look like Rick's going to be able to join us tonight, and so we'll reschedule him.
[00:48:02]  Now, that having been said, that gives me a little bit extra time.
[00:48:06]  In one way, it worked in our favor, in so much as it gave us a chance to plug that featured piece in the current edition of Heritage of Destiny magazine.
[00:48:16]  I would also remind you that these gospel songs we're playing tonight, these Southern gospel songs.
[00:48:23]  I'm not high church like Keith.
[00:48:25]  I am low church.
[00:48:29]  Let me just say this.
[00:48:31]  In the year 1900, most white Southerners were not Southern Baptists, they were Southern Methodists.
[00:48:37]  Unfortunately, in the 1930s, the Southern Methodists merged with the Northern Methodists to become the United Methodists.
[00:48:44]  And at that point, people started migrating to someplace else.
[00:48:49]  And someplace else that most of the white Southerners migrated to was Southern Baptists.
[00:48:54]  Still to this day, the biggest global Protestant.
[00:48:56]  Denomination in the world, even though it's been hemorrhaging people because they've gone woke.
[00:49:00]  We're going to give you some examples of, well, you know, you're talking about the Southern Methodists having that schism much later.
[00:49:08]  My ancestors in the Southern Baptists left before the war between the states over the issue of whether missionaries could be slave owners or not.
[00:49:18]  That was the thing that caused the divide.
[00:49:20]  That's what caused the divide.
[00:49:21]  And they became the biggest Protestant denomination in the world, and no one, no denomination, Has sent more missionaries abroad than the Southern Baptist.
[00:49:30]  And then that asks the question why did I become an Episcopalian?
[00:49:34]  I became an Episcopalian because my mother was an English war bride.
[00:49:39]  My father was a Southern Methodist.
[00:49:41]  And when he, you know, like I've heard said before, any man who says he's a boss at home will lie about other things too.
[00:49:50]  Basically, the nearest thing to the Anglican church that my mother had attended in England was the Episcopal church, so we went there.
[00:49:57]  And it was kind of unusual.
[00:49:59]  I was this working class boy going to this upper class church with all these people.
[00:50:04]  I went to this church that they said is where Memphis Country Club goes to pray.
[00:50:09]  But I got to know all of these people.
[00:50:12]  Better than where MSNBC goes.
[00:50:14]  No, no.
[00:50:15]  No, oy vey.
[00:50:18]  They're not going to do that.
[00:50:19]  But anyway, that's how I got into that.
[00:50:23]  You know, it was a.
[00:50:26]  We basically, what we do is we go to church where our parents tell us to go to church.
[00:50:30]  And that's where it went.
[00:50:31]  And unfortunately, all of the churches in Protestantism in America virtually have fallen to the apostasy of liberalism.
[00:50:40]  We got one tonight.
[00:50:42]  We have one who is a holdout.
[00:50:45]  He's one of the good guys.
[00:50:46]  He's one of the stalwart few that has stood up for Christ.
[00:50:51]  Christ the King Reformed Church in Charlotte, Michigan.
[00:50:54]  That is a brick and mortar church.
[00:50:55]  I had the opportunity to join them for fellowship last year.
[00:50:59]  I was in Michigan to give a talk on a Saturday and on Sunday.
[00:51:04]  I drove down to where Pastor Brett McAtee's church is.
[00:51:09]  I joined them for fellowship.
[00:51:10]  They even put on a big potluck program.
[00:51:13]  Lunch for my wife and I after the service.
[00:51:15]  And it was a wonderful, wonderful worship service.
[00:51:19]  And we're going to be talking to Brett later tonight.
[00:51:22]  I would just say this, though.
[00:51:23]  So we're playing these Southern Gospel songs, Keith.
[00:51:26]  And as we play them, folks, you hear them, you can't see them because this is radio, not television.
[00:51:31]  Although we may be changing that soon.
[00:51:33]  Go to libertyroundtable.com.
[00:51:37]  Sam Bushman was on Friday, last Friday, not yesterday if you're listening live, but a week ago Friday.
[00:51:45]  With sitting United States Congressman Paul Gozer.
[00:51:49]  And I just want you to get a load of the video production quality that Sam has.
[00:51:55]  We can do that too, and he's offered it to us.
[00:51:57]  And so maybe you'll be able to see what we see here in the studio.
[00:52:00]  But what I see here when I play these Southern Gospel songs tonight, that looks like these videos, looks like everybody I ever went to church with.
[00:52:07]  It looks like them in their face, their visage, their style of clothing, their hairstyles.
[00:52:15]  This, I mean, you talk about.
[00:52:17]  Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch.
[00:52:18]  And by the way, you hear these harmonicas tonight?
[00:52:22]  I mean, the Southern music, that would have fit in right in with the Song of the South soundtrack.
[00:52:26]  And I don't know who they hate more Christians or the Song of the South, but pretty much all there in together.
[00:52:33]  Well, Christians are the Song of the South, quite frankly.
[00:52:36]  And this is what, you know, and let me say this about Sam Bushman.
[00:52:40]  If it were not for Sam Bushman, we wouldn't be here.
[00:52:43]  I mean, Sam Bushman has done a wonderful job with Liberty Radio.
[00:52:48]  He is incredible.
[00:52:51]  The quality of the broadcast.
[00:52:54]  What he's done with video is you got to see it.
[00:52:56]  It's just unbelievable.
[00:52:57]  Yeah, he's always trying to improve his product and he's succeeding at that.
[00:53:04]  And we're very fortunate to be associated with him.
[00:53:07]  We're going to have a lot of fun throughout the rest of this month.
[00:53:09]  It's Confederate History Month.
[00:53:11]  We had a lot of fun during our march around the world.
[00:53:13]  The TPC broadcast calendar and all of its ebb and flow is just wonderful.
[00:53:19]  But we are booked out.
[00:53:20]  Our upcoming schedule is booked out until June.
[00:53:23]  I mean, it's Crazy.
[00:53:24]  Obviously, a lot of Southern guests this month.
[00:53:26]  That's the special series, but we're going to have Juiced Stridom.
[00:53:31]  He is the head of the Iranian movement.
[00:53:32]  Do you know who got us in touch with Juiced Stridom?
[00:53:34]  Tony Miranda from Puerto Rico.
[00:53:36]  He was up here at a visit to one of the embassies in D.C. on vacation, and he met Juiced Stridom.
[00:53:44]  He said, You need to come on this show.
[00:53:45]  We're in touch with Juiced Stridom.
[00:53:46]  He's going to come on.
[00:53:47]  Leonardo Gianni, the Lebanese American female comedian who spoke at Amran last year.
[00:53:56]  We're going to talk with.
[00:54:01]  Those are two new guests, and we're booked out going into June.
[00:54:04]  Greg Johnson will be back, so many others, Gurmar Rudolph, people trying to get on the program.
[00:54:09]  We're going to have Charles Bosman.
[00:54:10]  We had a couple of people, like Charles Bosman, that we tried to work in during March Around the World, but couldn't.
[00:54:17]  We've got him ready to come on.
[00:54:20]  Other new guests, including a gentleman who was born in 1930 in Germany, never been on the show before.
[00:54:27]  What do you think he wants to talk about?
[00:54:28]  What do you think he has to say?
[00:54:30]  A lot of good stuff coming up, but we're going to dedicate this month, this hour.
[00:54:36]  Confederate History Month to All Things Summer.
[00:54:39]  And we'll be back with Patrick Martin to continue to do just that.
[00:54:43]  Stay tuned, everybody.
