April 12, 2026 - The Political Cesspool - James Edwards
54:49
Radio Show Hour 2 – 2026/04/11
James Edwards and Rick Tyler report from the Return to the Land event, analyzing Greg Johnson's "Trump Disappointment Syndrome" and Peter Brimelow's immigration data. Edwards asserts the U.S. is a Jewish-controlled captive nation, claiming historical presidents like Nixon and Reagan were manipulated by Jewish interests regarding the Federal Reserve and civil rights. He argues Lincoln's assassination prevented his planned deportation of Black people to Africa, citing Mark Rowland's "The Murder of Lincoln Was an Inside Job." The segment concludes with fundraising for the Nathan Bedford Forrest Boyhood Home, reinforcing Edwards' view that Confederate history must be preserved against perceived Jewish power structures.

Confederate History Month Kicks Off00:02:02
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.
You know,
when you are in live broadcasting, you can't do like some of the other shows do, where you record things, you clip it, you edit it, you splice it together.
You roll with the punches when you're live.
And so Rick Tyler was actually supposed to be on last week, and we had some communicative problems, which is to say his cell phone battery died.
But it actually worked out better that he was on tonight because now, tonight, as you heard at the beginning of the first hour, he could not only update us on the National Solutions Conference and give us that review and assessment, but also.
Give us a report live from the scene from the Return to the Land event tonight, where he is speaking at now live at 7 o'clock there near Ravendon, Arkansas.
Picture Keith In Uniform00:02:38
But so it's lucky it worked out that way in the long run.
God's will be done.
But we are, we had that, we had to reschedule that, and last week was Easter.
But Confederate History Month, we are in Confederate History Month, and it is about to kick into high gear.
Next week, it's going to kick into overdrive.
We have a quarterback.
Of Southern champions, the Southern Fab Five, Fab Four at least, next week.
And they will be on great people doing great work, and then we'll wrap it up a couple of weeks from now.
But this is Confederate History Month, and Keith, you brought forth that particular selection, the Yellow Rose of Texas.
People think of Dixie, people think of the Bonnie Blue Flag, people think of, you know, a lot of songs.
But they might not think of the Yellow Rose of Texas being a Confederate song.
Why is it?
Well, it is because it was used as marching music by the Texas.
Troops in the Confederacy are a version of it, okay?
It may have originated back in the Texas War of Independence or it may have originated in the Civil War, but nonetheless, it's an old song.
That song, that version we were listening to, was by Mitch Miller, who had a TV show and it was basically pretty pedestrian, except for things like that.
That song, I think, reached top 10 in America back in the late 1950s.
I know you were listening to it then.
Exactly.
I loved it.
You know, and I would be marching around with it, you know, in my Confederate uniform.
So we actually have, folks, listen to this.
We have a picture of Keith.
How old are you in this picture, Keith?
Probably about eight, seven or eight.
Okay.
And Keith has a Confederate battle flag in his hand.
He's seven or eight years old.
And what's the car behind you?
A 1952 Studebaker.
And I also had a Confederate Cappy, K A K E P I. That's a little hat, you know, with the bill on the front.
And kind of slopes down from the back to the front.
That was a Confederate uniform cap for, I guess, non commissioned officers or everybody except for officers.
And we're going to have that picture run with a little bit of history about Keith's family and the war, his wife's side of the family.
And it's very interesting.
It's going to be featured at thepoliticalcesspool.org on Monday as part of our Confederate History Month coverage.
Gene Andrews coming up later this hour.
He'll be with us the entirety of the third hour talking about Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Still a lot to come as we begin to really focus on Confederate History Month this April.
Disappointment With The Establishment00:15:34
But let's go back first to Donald Trump, the other side of Trump.
Greg Johnson at Countercurrents has an interesting article.
I want to read through it very quickly because we are very busy tonight.
Trump Disappointment Syndrome.
This is what Greg writes.
A lot of people are down in the dumps because of Trump's shocking betrayals on immigration, the Epstein files, and especially the expanding debacle in Iran.
But I have some words of consolation.
Things aren't that bad.
Greg Johnson continues As a white nationalist, my political goal is to restore white homelands ravaged by globalization, low white fertility, and non white migration.
Our ranks are steadily growing.
But we remain a political minority.
Until we are no longer a minority and have the power to implement our preferred policies, we must content ourselves with influencing existing parties to adopt policies we like.
Our natural political constituency is the white people who vote for center right parties, especially nationalists and populists, as opposed to globalists and neoliberal elitists.
Such politicians include Viktor Orban, Georgia Maloney, and Donald Trump.
One shouldn't expect too much from these politicians.
They only want some of the things that we want, and frankly, they'd be horrified by the rest.
Moreover, they will speak and make deals with our enemies, but they will barely acknowledge our existence.
We can dispense with them once we have power, but until that time, they're the best we've got.
Orban is by far the best.
Maloney is the biggest disappointment.
Trump is a mixed bag.
He has done many of the things we would do if we had power restrict immigration, ramp up deportations, and roll back anti white discrimination.
But Trump's megalomaniacal foreign policy blunders, including two wars on Iran at Israel's behest, have wrecked vital alliances, sent the global economy into a tailspin, and shredded the electoral coalition we need to perpetuate his policies.
At this point, it seems almost certain that the left will return to power and reverse the good he has accomplished.
It would be easier if you are like me and regard Trump coldly, simply.
As a tool.
And let's face it, that's how he regards us.
At best, he was a tool implementing policies we would have implemented, thus giving us a taste of victory long before we actually attained power.
Barring that, Trump is, at the very least, To quote Charles Murray, our murder weapon against the American political establishment.
Hear me out here, folks.
Even if all of Trump's positive accomplishments as president are erased, his greatest gift may be that day in 2015 when he announced his candidacy in a single stroke, he changed the parameters of American politics by questioning the value of unrestrained economic globalization and third world migration.
Millions of Americans, overwhelmingly white, were harmed by these policies, but their complaints were ignored by both parties.
The political establishment until Trump came along.
Trump was held as a tribune of the people and denounced as a traitor to his class because he broke ranks on globalization and immigration.
Trump opened a space in American politics for nationalism, populism, and white identity politics.
He proved it was a winning formula.
That's the sense in which Trump was the murder weapon against the political establishment.
And as any wise guy will tell you, once you use a murder weapon, you need to drop it and walk away.
Establishment Republicans would very much like to go back to business as usual.
But that will not happen.
And if you go to Greg's complete article at countercurrents.com, countercurrents.com, Trump Disappointment Syndrome, he gives you the reasons why it won't go back to business as usual, even post Trump, even with the disappointments with regards to Iran.
I think that's the balance we need in this conversation.
You really have to look at it.
We're doing you a disservice if we just pile on and tell you how bad Trump is because of Iran.
There is another side, and whether you're Pro Trump, anti Trump, or view him as I have always said, Greg Johnson saying there what I've always said.
It's a tool.
We'll use Trump for whatever we can get, but it is still up to us to build and accomplish the rest.
And whatever assists we can get, we'll take and be thankful for.
Well, what I don't think a lot of people on the right and otherwise who are critics of Trump don't seem to realize is that we are a captive nation.
Trump may have been elected president, but Trump is not in control any more than.
Richard Nixon was in control.
Ronald Reagan was in control.
Gerald Ford was in control.
Harry Truman was in control.
Franklin Roosevelt was in control.
All of these people had to play ball and do things that they didn't want to do because that's what the Jews wanted.
And if they did, for example, Warren Harding, he really came down on the communists.
Remember the Palmer raids back in the late 1919, 1920 times like that?
Well, You know, he was arresting an awful lot of Jews, and they didn't like that.
And guess what?
They got him out of office with the Teapot Dome scandal, okay?
The next president was Calvin Coolidge.
He bucked them successfully, but he underwent so much pressure, he just gave up, capitulated, and didn't run for a second term.
You know, the Depression came on because of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve was a Jewish run operation that was created in the Woodrow Wilson administration, and that was part of his payback.
Because he was subject to Jewish blackmail regarding an affair he was having with his next door neighbor, Mrs. Peck.
Okay?
All of this stuff, you know, we live in this, you know, fairy tale world where we're powerful and our president should be able to do anything.
Basically, we're in a better shape now than we have been at any other time in my life as a right winger because in the 40s, the 50s, 60s, 70s, and into part of the 80s, basically, not only foreign policy but also domestic policy was controlled by the Jews.
The civil rights movement, the homosexual rights movement, the feminist movement, the sexual revolution, the drug culture all of these things were Jewish enterprises.
They were the brainchild of Jewish leftists.
And they basically harmed our interests as white Gentiles in ways that we can't even fathom.
You know, our lower birth rates, our, you know, the demise of the blue collar middle class in America, all this can be laid at the footsteps of Jewish power and influence.
Now they seem to be focused on foreign policy ever since the Clean Break Memorandum came out in 1995.
And.
That's what we're doing.
And if he, Trump knows that if he bucks him, what's the last president that really bucked him?
JFK, he was assassinated.
What happened to his brother who was going to reopen the Warren Commission and basically ask Han all of their findings and go back into the assassination of his brother?
Well, on the very day, June the 5th, 1968, when he clinched the Democratic nomination for president, He was assassinated, okay?
This is, and for example, I heard Steve Bannon on the radio, not the radio, the TV today, complaining that why hasn't anybody been prosecuted by the Trump administration for the Epstein files?
Well, the reason is it wouldn't serve Jewish interests.
The Jews created Epstein's Island and the whole Epstein enterprise to use as a blackmail operation.
That's why they went into things like pedophilia.
Now we're talking.
I mean, you're talking now.
Yeah, the pedophilia, basically, for example.
Why would we have pedophilia and cannibalism and things like this?
Well, this isn't the Woodrow Wilson administration anymore, where adultery was scandalous enough to bring down a president.
Basically, in America today, if you're 45 years old and you hadn't had a divorce, people wonder what.
Wrong with you, okay?
You know, this is a crazy world.
You know, it's interesting because in the early 90s, when I was going to Briarcrest, you know, this elite private Christian prep academy, Mrs. Sykes became Miss Miller.
And they actually had like a full student body assembly to explain that she's still a good Christian woman, but sometimes people get divorced.
It was so scandalous.
It was the only person I'd ever known in my life up until that time in the early 90s to have ever gotten a divorce.
Look, I was.
I grew up in a working class neighborhood in Memphis in the 1950s.
In the block that I lived on, there was only one divorce in the entire block in the entire decade of the 50s.
And that was so scandalous that even though the couple patched it up, they had to move kit and caboodle to Forest City, Arkansas to get away from the show.
Named after?
Who is Forest City named after?
General Forest.
All right, now let's get back to this.
As I said before.
Well, let me just finish what I was going to say on the thing is about Trump and about Epstein.
Epstein, the whole operation would lose all of its effectiveness from Jewish power and influence aspects if everything came out in the open and you started prosecuting people.
They want it kept secret so they can continue to use it as blackmail.
For example, they could tell Trump, if you buck us on what we want to do with Iran, they're going to find out all the things you did on Epstein Island.
But on the other hand, if it's going to be disclosed anyway, they've lost that.
Blackmail card.
All right.
Now, back to Trump.
As I said in the first hour, I could get in the layup line and dunk on him all day long.
He's given us plenty of material to justify that.
I'm not arguing with the people who are focusing on that.
But it seems like a lot of the folks on our side are focusing on only that.
But here, what we try to do, what we try to do just in the spirit of honesty and of dedication to you, our listeners, is to look at it all objectively and dispassionately.
And I have never been a Republican.
I have never considered myself to be a Republican.
I've never introduced myself as a Republican.
I'm a white nationalist who voted for Donald Trump three times.
Maybe some of you voted for him one or two times or zero times or every time.
I don't know.
SPLC thinks you're an illegal alien from Mars.
But the one thing I can tell you is this Donald Trump and his Department of Justice haven't mentioned so called white nationalist terrorism one time ever.
They've designated Antifa a terrorist group.
Now, granted, they haven't really gone after them.
But they have given our ranks a couple of years at least here now, the last two years to breathe and build.
That's not nothing.
Peter Brimelow.
Peter Brimelow has an article on his Substack, which we link to at our daily reads at thepoliticalaccessible.org on my blog.
Peter Brimelow's latest entry quietly, patriots are winning the immigration war.
The GOP debate has changed dramatically since 2015, he writes.
Influencer on the right, this is Peter Brimelow.
Influencers on the right report that doomerism is what sells, but frankly, it's hard to be that black pilled on Trump's immigration performance.
Above is a chart on how Trump has purged immigration judges.
To speed up deportations.
This is a New York Times report published on April the 9th, just a couple of days ago.
Basically, albeit through reversible and administrative measures as usual, Trump has closed the asylum loophole.
During the Obama and Biden years, 60% of the asylum seeking cases were granted favorably.
If you were an illegal alien seeking asylum, Odds were in your favor with Obama and Biden that you were going to get in.
60%.
You know what it is with Trump this year, right now?
Zero.
Seven.
Seven, okay.
Seven percent.
So let's not be stupid here, folks.
There is a post-case Trump for Iran, a post-Iran case for Trump, I guess I should say, a post-Iran case for Trump.
And as a matter of fact, what people don't understand, too, let me just stop you right there, is that if.
You vote Trump out, you don't show up, you sit on your hands, or you don't show up, or you actually vote against him.
All of that domestic policy innovation that he has brought about that has been in our favor, like enforcing immigration laws, that will be undone in seconds after they get in.
They're going to stack the Supreme Court.
They're going to do away with the veto.
Everything that they can do, they're going to basically make D.C. and Puerto Rico states.
And they'll have four more senators, and they'll control the Supreme Court.
We will be a lost cause.
So don't throw the baby out on the bathwater.
I don't want to try to play both sides.
I am not a lukewarm guy, but I have to look at this honestly.
I am hot.
I am radical.
I don't ever seek to split things down the middle, but I do see both sides of this.
I see the disappointment and the disdain, but I also see, hey, compared to what's coming, You know, in four years, you may be very thankful for days like this.
So here's the post Iran case for Trump.
Matter of fact, Jason Kessler is my next featured QA for American Free Press.
It just went to press this week.
And he was the one selling Trump.
There's a lot of sellers.
I guess he's buying.
I guess he's a buyer.
And I did a 10 point QA with Jason about Trump, selling Trump post Iran.
And he writes this in one of the answers.
There's a doomsday cult theory advanced by Fuentes, Nick Fuentes, and his nihilistic influencer ilk that electing Democrats would be a positive because it might make conditions so bad that a Hitlerian strongman is sure to follow.
Kessler continues this is a ludicrous fantasy of an immature political theorist, and that's being generous.
So, yes, the GOP sucks.
I'm speaking now.
I'm not a Republican, never have been, as I said.
White nationalists that voted for Trump.
I'm not telling you to be good little Republicans, but I will tell you this.
Look at Virginia.
Look at what's going on with Abigail Spanberger, governor of Virginia.
Trump Is Not Our Last Hope00:08:37
And now imagine that nationwide, plus Iran, because I am telling you, the party of Chuck Schumer, you cannot count that the Democrats would not have gone into Iran either.
Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris said specifically that Iran was the worst nation in the world.
Plus, You're going to get no change in foreign policy, and you're going to get all the change that we don't want in domestic policy.
And here's another thing that people, unless you're listening to this show, you don't know.
Plus, them weaponizing the DOJ against us all.
I mean, they will come after white nationalists again.
And you'll never unring that bell once they get that done.
So don't make that mistake.
That would be the biggest mistake in the world.
We have to just be humble enough to realize that we are a captive nation when it comes to foreign policy right now.
The Jews run us, and that's not going to change.
Basically, money talks and BSWAR.
It's going to have to change.
It will have to change eventually.
But on the other hand, let's.
Go.
You're really, really loud.
I had to turn it down a little bit.
Very quickly.
We're running out of time.
I got to get to Gene.
Look, we have it right now on the domestic policy.
You're going to throw that away if you vote for the Democrats and let them get control here in the midterm.
This is a crucial time.
Unfortunately, if Trump came out strong against what Netanyahu wants to do in Iran, he would wind up like JFK.
All right.
Now, you do have.
I'm not trying to sell you anything.
I'm just trying to look at this from all angles and you make up your own opinion, Mr. and Mrs. TPC listener.
There are representatives like Andy Ogles, right here in Tennessee, Keith, who has proposed legislation to repeal the Heart Cellar Act that you just cited.
That is a GOP representative, Andy Ogles, who is working with the White Papers Policy Institute, by the way, and our friend Cyan.
But they are.
He has proposed legislation to repeal that.
No Democrat is going to do that.
To say that worst is better.
Now, there is a third angle, and Eric Orwal has articulated it on his Twitter that if it's going to go down, it needs to go down now while whites in the rural parts of America still control farmland and still control enough area to where they can survive it.
If it has to collapse, if it is going to collapse, it'd be better that it be sooner than later.
Look, all of these options are on the table.
I'm not discounting any of them.
We need to examine and explore all of them.
But the idea that the Democrats taking power and complete and absolute power is in the best interest of whites, I just don't know if I'm legit.
What is going to happen if they come in is they will irreversibly put their agenda in stone and set in concrete.
On the other hand, with Netanyahu and people like that, we're just going to have to understand that that is a battle for another day.
Right now, if Trump.
Came out and said, I'm defying you and I'm going to throw you under the bus, Trump would wind up like JFK.
And we need to understand that.
See, what happened after JFK?
They had a guy that was in their hip pocket, LBJ, and he basically intentionally did not do all the things that Kennedy wanted to do.
One thing, you know, if this midterm, let's say that Trump loses.
I mean, the Republicans lose.
Then what the Democrats will do is impeach him, get him out, and then we get our friend, well, I put that in square quotes, JD Vance in.
But JD Vance is the other option is Marco Rubio.
Marco Rubio is focused on foreign policy, Vance is focused on domestic policy.
We need to keep that going.
We need to, you know, Trump is going to be out after 2028 anyway, and we need to be looking toward the future.
And we don't need to do anything that is going to turn power over to our nation.
In sum, Trump is not our last hope.
Greg Johnson writes this in conclusion.
He is a tool.
He was a tool and is a tool.
I wish he'd done more as president.
I hope the good things he has done won't be reversed because his stupidity might return left to power.
But the best thing he has done for us, creating a safe political space for nationalism and populism, will not.
Be undone.
The rest is up to us.

News this hour from Town Hall.
I'm Mary Rose.
Prominent supporters of California Congressman Eric Smallwell's bid for governor are withdrawing their support after the congressman denied allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman he once employed.
On Friday, the congressman taking to his ex account denying allegations he sexually assaulted a woman who worked.
For him.
These allegations of sexual assault are flat false.
They're absolutely false.
Slawwell, among the leading Democrats in the race to replace Governor Gavin Newsom, a likely presidential candidate who calls the allegations from multiple sources deeply troubling and says they must be taken seriously.
The San Francisco Chronicle reporting the woman said Slawwell sexually assaulted her in 2019 and 2024.

Well, I wish him luck.
He's got a big thing.
We'll find out what's going on.
They're militarily defeated.
And now we're going to open up the Gulf with or without them.
But that'll be open.
We're going to be, or the Strait, as they call it.
And I think it's going to go pretty quickly.
And if it doesn't, we'll be able to finish it off one way or the other.
It's going well.
The NYPD is conducting an internal investigation after police shot and killed a man with a machete at Grand Central Station.
The individual was armed with a large knife.
Described as a machete, and was behaving erratically, repeatedly stating that he was Lucifer.
The individual refused to comply with at least 20 orders to drop the knife.
Officers also attempted to de escalate and offer assistance, saying, We are going to get you help.

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.
Lents 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 plugged 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 fought all the way, Johnny Rip, Johnny Rip.
You fought all the way.
With Robert E. Lee.
You hip your head high trying to win the victory.
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain.
Even though you lost, they speak highly of your name.
Because you fought all the way, Johnny Reb.
Johnny Reb.
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb.
That's the great Johnny Horton, one of his greatest hits, Johnny Reb.
And he had a lot of them north to Alaska, maybe my favorite.
From New Orleans.
Yeah, can't forget that one.
There was actually in my eighth grade history class, we were learning about the war between the states, or it was during that time during the lesson plan, and I brought in a boombox.
You'd have to be a kid of the 90s to know what a boombox is, but we played.
They actually, my teacher, she had died.
My eighth grade history teacher is dead now.
Her name was Loretta Stancil, but she let me play that song there.
We actually used to sing Dixie at Briarcrest, even in the 80s and 90s.
And you know, based on what we were talking about in the last hour, I think that we need to understand we have a cast.
Our government has been captured, very much like Reconstruction in the South.
We've been living under a kind of Jewish reconstruction from 1912 on, but now we're seeing a break in the clouds, at least on domestic policy.
If we basically throw the baby out with the bathwater and get the Republicans out, what we're going to have is basically a total reconstruction government that controls both our domestic and our foreign policy.
Right now, what is most important to me is domestic policy.
I want to make sure that.
The civil rights movement gets undone.
Feminism gets undone.
Homosexual rights get undone.
Immigration ends.
And that type of thing, you know, the other part of it, we can't win right now.
But once we basically take over our domestic policy, then we can start focusing our attention on foreign policy.
Got to pick your battles, got to take the ground you can.
And that's something that our Confederate forebears certainly knew.
Stacked like that.
What happened with Reconstruction, for example?
Reconstruction at the very beginning of Reconstruction was a lot worse than it was in 1877 when it finally petered out.
The odds have been stacked against us for a long time.
Let's go to Gene Andrews.
Gene the Marine, a former Marine, also the caretaker of the Nathan Petra Forrest Boyhood Home.
He has been a longtime contributor to this radio program, a regular on Eddie's every week on Blood River Radio.
Third hour almost every week is Gene Andrews' hour, and for good reason.
Gene, it is great to have you back on tonight as we now put our.
Hand on the stick shift and put it into high gear with Confederate History Month.
It's great to have you back.
Gene, how are you?
They're doing great.
Doing great.
Thank you, James.
Certainly appreciate being here.
Well, we've got a lot to cover with you.
Okay, well, I'm sorry.
Indeed.
No, listen, hey, go to the TPC broadcast archives, thepoliticalcesspool.org.
Go to the broadcast archives, type in the name Gina Andrews.
You can go back to all of these great appearances over the years.
But we got a lot of ground to cover tonight.
And first, Gina, I just want to ask you for an update.
About a year ago, during our first quarter fundraising drive for 2025, one of the incentive gifts was a Nathan Bedford Forrest stationery pack, you know, a pack of cards with the Forrest Boyhood Home.
Cards for any occasion.
And we were sort of helping raise a little bit of money in addition to ourselves, but also for the boyhood home there, where you are the groundskeeper, the docent, the tour guide, the jack of all trades.
Chief dishwasher and bottle cleaner.
He is everything there.
Four years of college, I learned how to keep the bathrooms in dishwasher.
That's good.
Well, one of the things we were talking about, though, was we were trying to raise a little bit of money for the construction of a brand new event.
Events Center at the Nathan Bedford Forest Boyhood Home in Chapel Hill, Tennessee.
How is that work coming along?
Well, we had the money, and the Forest Home itself, through donations and projects like the one you helped us with, raised and turned over to the Tennessee Division, who's head of this project, $77,700.
And with what they voted to put in at the last Tennessee Division Convention in April, A year ago, we had more than enough to build this pavilion part of the building.
It'll eventually be a 5,000 square foot building.
And we wanted to have something that we could have the forest home open on a regular basis, five or six days a week, and have more than everything crammed into the log cabin itself.
We want to try to get a lot of the modern stuff out of the cabin and have it in this building and just have the home as it looked in the 1830s when the forest family lived there.
So, anyway, we had the money turned in.
And politics being what it is, they delayed, and this committee has to look at it, and this bunch.
We had to have this passed by, I think, the Easter Bunny and the Too Fairy and everybody in between, and it delayed and screwed around.
Now, here we are a year later, and hopefully, now sometime toward the end of April, they're going to finally get started on this building project.
So it's been very exciting.
Hey, well, that's good news.
Hey, delayed good news is still good news.
I'm happy to know that there's progress being made because, I mean, we've We've talked for years about all of the monuments coming down.
Obviously, General Forrest's monument here in Memphis being moved to Columbia.
I mean, thank God at least it was moved to Columbia, not preserved.
Yeah, Robert E. Lee didn't get that fade in Charlottesville.
Not from Charlottesville, no.
So here's the thing it is important that this is a very historic Confederate site.
We don't want anything to happen to it.
And the visitor center, every one wing of it, is going to be a little bit different from what you see at most museums.
We don't want to have a repetition of a museum that has rusty swords and pistols.
And we're going to have this one wing that's going to have 16 of these 3x3 cases with three dimensional contour maps in there of 16 of the battles and campaigns that General Forrest and his troops fought in.
So you can start at one corner at Sacramento, Kentucky in December of 1861, then go to Fort Donaldson, Shiloh, Bryce's Crossroads, Johnsonville, Franklin, and just follow his campaign, his whole war career around to these cases.
It'll give you an explanation of what's going on.
And you get a look at what the battlefield actually looked like in the time of year where it was fought.
So, I think that's a good point.
Oh, absolutely, yes.
We're going to have that.
And tell people about it.
That's coming up too, by the way.
I was going to say, I want it done as long as you're on this side of the sod so that your valuable historical research won't be forgotten in the shuffle.
Oh, no.
No, that's the whole point.
This is going to be a Southern museum.
This is not going to be something like they've destroyed historic sites in Franklin, Tennessee, the Carter House and Carrington Plantation.
If you go to Franklin, all you hear about is how terrible the Carters were and the McGavicks were because they had enslaved people.
Well, yeah, they had them everywhere.
Slavery was legal in all 13 colonies, and slavery was legal in all 13 states when the Constitution was signed.
So they try to throw that off on the South like we were the only boogeymen in the whole world that had slavery, and always throw it back at these people.
Yeah, well, who brought the slaves over here?
That was the northern shippers, shipping companies in Boston, New Bedford, Philadelphia, New York.
Not one single slave ship ever flew a Confederate flag, nor was it ever chartered out of a southern city like Charleston or Savannah or New Orleans, anywhere.
They were all chartered out of the Northeast.
Yeah.
And who financed it?
It wasn't southerners, it was Jewish power and influence again.
There you go.
Yeah.
Well, you know, Gene, that's a whole other topic of conversation.
But what I want to really focus on right now is, and we've got about a minute before the next break, and I want to transition into a broader topic.
In the third hour, we will talk about a topic near and dear to my heart, which was our trip to Fort Pillow that we chartered a bus for and so many of our friends.
Yeah, you did a great job on that.
That was a one day trip.
I'll tell you what, that was a lot of fun.
And I think, I hope our travelers learned a little bit while they were up there.
You were a huge part of that.
You were the tour guide of that particular event.
And we will talk about that in the third hour.
And then we'll get into your presentation on the real history of Fort Pillow.
But first, that's still coming.
But I just want to say, with all of the Confederate monuments that have been taken down, it is encouraging and something that I really wanted to be sure to present to the audience tonight that there is new construction taking place that's going to advance our mission and to advance our heritage and our history.
I mean, to have a, you know, we're talking about different event places that we can have these things.
Dixie Republic, Rick Tyler was in a place in.
West Virginia, the return to the land compound.
There's going to be a new one, and it's going to be at the Nathan Bedford Forest Boyhood Home, a historical site that is attended to and managed by Gene Andrews, our good friend.
And that's something that's good.
There is something new, something building, something.
This is forward progress, right?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
And the part we're getting ready to build right now, and hopefully we can get a light of fire into these people and get them going, we have already poured the concrete slab.
So now there's a long room at the end of the building that's 30 feet by 70.
Feet, and we're getting ready to put the trusses and the beams and the roof on that to have this like one of the outdoor picnic pavilions you see at a state park.
And then eventually we'll close it in, air condition it, and all of that.
But this room is designed for wedding receptions.
We've had six weddings at the Forest Zone, so wedding receptions or family reunion, a Kiwanis Club, or anything like that, or political cesspool could have a big event there.
Hey, now we're talking.
Now we're really talking.
Now you get the idea, folks.
But indeed, it is a.
A venue for any occasion, and we know the guy who's running it, Gene Andrews.
He's our guest, and he's going to be with us for the remainder of the hour.
Founding Principles And Command00:02:08
Don't go ill with it.
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 the Templar Church dot 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.
I am Reverend Jim Dowson, ordained Puritan minister, nationalist, and a veteran pro life campaigner.
Tune in to my weekly sermons at the Templar Church dot com.
Based in Ireland, this old time religion is the faith that built America.
God bless you.
Scott Bradley here.
Most Americans are painfully aware that the nation is on the wrong track and in dire straits.
Unfortunately, most political pundits only nibble around the edges when they claim to address the issues.
Even worse, many of the so called solutions are simply rewarmed servings of what got us into the mess we currently face.
And the politicians think we're so gullible and naive that we'll buy their lies that they have reformed and now understand where they led us astray.
Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that they simply wish to continue to hold power.
The solution to America's challenges is found in returning to the timeless principles found in the United States Constitution.
My book and lecture series will reawaken in Americans an understanding and love of the principles which made this nation the freest, most prosperous, happiest, and most respected nation on earth.
Visit topreservethenation.com and order my book and lectures to begin the restoration of this great nation.
Understand from your record that you are West Point, class of 54.
Lincoln Movie And Property Rights00:11:39
Served since in the cavalry, Fort Clark, Texas, operations against Apache, Comanche.
Most impressive, you are a native Virginian.
Fought with Longstreet and Yule, sir.
Nasty business.
Merciless climate.
Glad to be home, sir.
The Apache were defending their homes as we will be defending ours.
If we fight as well as the Apache, I pity the Yankee invader.
General Stewart.
If I had my way, we would show no quarter to the enemy.
No more than the Redskins showed your troopers.
The black flag, sir.
If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property.
It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity, the ultimate loss of free and responsible government on this continent.
It is the triumph of commerce, the banks, factories.
We should meet the federal invader on the outer verge of just and right defense and raise at once the black flag.
No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides.
Our political leadership in Richmond is too timid to face the reality of this coming war.
They should look to the Bible.
It is full of such wars.
That is a.
Gods and Generals.
Yeah.
Indeed.
Yeah.
I saw that at the theater with friends in, I believe it was 2003, even before the radio program began.
Gods and Generals, that great movie that still was released in theaters even as late as the early 2000s.
That is Stephen Lang playing.
As Stonewall Jackson, and he's addressing Jeb Stewart in 1861 in this scene.
It's a remarkable movie.
If you've never seen it, folks, please watch it.
I mean, we actually gave that away along with the note cards from the Forest Home last year during our first quarter fundraising drive of 2025.
But interestingly, the actor who played Stonewall Jackson is a character actor named Stephen Lang, who's a Jewish actor from New York.
But he read so much about Stonewall Jackson preparing for this part.
That he became an ardent defender of the Confederate cause.
And Jeff Daniels, who played Joshua Chamberlain on the Union side, when they were in the same room together, or in the same area together filming this movie, they couldn't even look at each other.
They had so much disdain.
Stephen Lang has talked about this since the filming of the movie that he became a big believer in the Confederate cause.
This is a Jewish actor from New York, and that he couldn't even look at people who were playing the roles of Yankees when he was filming this scene.
Filming the movie.
It is a great movie.
Please watch it.
But Gene, it leads me to this question for you now here in this segment.
Why are we still talking about Southern heritage and Confederate history?
The war was a long time ago, long, long time ago.
And things have changed.
I mean, we do talk about the fact that we are all one white brotherhood, whether we be Americans or Germans or Scottish or Irish or Russians or whatever.
And all of these regional conflicts are what they are.
We are all one white family.
However, the unique distinction of each of our.
Each expression of white identity should be maintained.
Why are we still talking about Confederate history in 2026?
Because the South was right.
That's a very simple fact there.
We left the Union.
They always talk about democracy and this is a democracy and everybody's vote counts and all that.
Okay, that's fine.
We voted to leave a country that had the deck stacked against us in taxes and just about everything as far as the government was concerned.
We didn't start a revolution.
We didn't murder the Tsar and his family.
We didn't storm the Bastille.
Heck, we didn't even dump tea in the harbor.
We just said, we've had enough of this and we're out of here.
We joined voluntarily.
We're leaving voluntarily.
But the imperial empire said, no, you can't leave.
Once you sign up for this, you're stuck here for life.
In fact, Lincoln even said when the New England states voted to secede, when Texas was admitted as a state, because they were afraid it was going to be divided up into three or four states.
And that would outnumber them in Congress.
Lincoln said, any people, anywhere, have the right to throw off their existing form of government and form a new one that suits them better.
This is a most sacred, a most inalienable right.
That's when he was a representative in Congress.
But between the time he was a representative and he became president, he changed his tune.
And I think he'd been listening to the Eagles, Hotel California.
You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.
So that to me was an illegal government.
And Robert E. Lee said, A government held together by force of arms has no place for me.
And I think that's exactly right.
So we were right, and right does not always prevail.
Oftentimes it's crushed under the heel of a dictatorship.
And that's exactly what happened to the South.
And so just to say, well, we're all one country now, yeah, we're all one country at the point of a gun.
We were forced to be a part of the United States government, the federal dictatorship.
So just being forced to do something does not necessarily mean that that side was in the right.
So, of course, we're going to defend our heritage, our history, our family.
My family.
I had four of my eight great great grandfathers fought in the Confederate service.
And so, to turn my back on the South and the Confederate history and our heroes, that would be turning my back on my family members.
And I would hate to cross over the river someday and meet them and say, You rotten coward.
We had to eat very little food.
What it was wasn't worth feeding to the dogs.
We went through horrible conditions on the battlefield and in camp.
March barefoot through the ice and snow, and now you won't even stand up and defend us?
What's the matter with you, boy?
I didn't know our generations had come down that low.
So, you know, we have a lot to fight for, really do.
And just because we lost our war for independence does not mean that we were wrong.
Christ's disciples were all martyred and killed, and were they wrong just because they got killed and the Romans killed them off or wherever they were in the world?
I don't think so.
So, I think we're traveling down basically the same road.
Gene, this is Keith.
Let me just bring up a topic, and I want you to take fire at it, but this is just for purposes of argument, okay?
What if Lincoln had not been assassinated, okay?
According to Benjamin the Beast Butler, you know, the guy that was coming out of New Orleans, four days before he was assassinated, Lincoln said it was still his intention to send all the blacks.
Back to Africa.
Exactly.
And if he had done that, wouldn't we be much better off than we are?
Oh, absolutely.
If he had done that.
But Lincoln said a lot of things that he didn't live up to.
And that's one that I wish, I hope he had followed through on it.
There's an interesting article in the Barnes Review.
And James is the co editor of the Barnes Review.
But he has an interview in there every issue, and it's always good.
The issue says The Murder of Lincoln Was an Inside Job by Mark Rowland.
And Edward Stanton, the Secretary of War, and Thaddeus Stevens, and some of the real radical nutcases in the Republican Party.
Radical Republicans, as they were called.
Yeah.
You have to remember back then, the Republican Party was the Nutcase Party.
They would have had AOC and Chuck Schumer and Gavin Newsom, and all the real screwballs would have been in the Republican Party back then.
They wanted Lincoln out of there, and killing him was one way to get rid of him because they wanted to unleash a horrible Reconstruction on the South.
And put the South back in the Stone Age.
And then one of the things was that Lincoln did say that he wanted the blacks, he was against slavery, but he was against slavery so that blacks would not be property.
As long as they were property and owned by other blacks, there were a lot of blacks in the South that owned slaves as well.
As long as they were property, they couldn't be taken away from them because of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
But if they were no longer slaves, that meant they were no longer property.
They were just citizens here or people that were here that could be rounded up and shipped out of the country.
And the ones that were here.
Well, they wouldn't be citizens, according to Lincoln.
And again, what people don't understand is that a lot of people that are identified today as being abolitionists, like, you know, the, what was it, the strip of land, the Wilmot Proviso.
Wilmot was a congressman from Pennsylvania, and he didn't want slavery.
Extended into the lands of the Mexican Cession because specifically he thought that they were a great scourge on America, blacks were, and he didn't want that scourge to expand any.
So, consequently, by today's standards, he would be a terrible racist, but he is counted as a big abolitionist hero in all the history books I read growing up, and you probably did too.
All right, Gene, one minute remaining, and then let me tell you, folks, we've got Gene for the entirety of our third and final hour.
We're going to do A segment on one more segment on the forest home.
We're going to do a segment on our trip to Fort Pillow for TPC donors that we took not too long ago, a couple of years ago.
And then Gene is going to give you his History Channel worthy presentation on the true history of the Battle of Fort Pillow.
But first, answer Keith.
Seconds remain this hour.
Gene's with us for the third hour.
Stay tuned for that.
Go ahead, Gene.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was waiting for the break there.
No, yeah, that's what they wanted to do.
And the other reason they wanted the blacks out of the country, they didn't want them to be living in the South and vote as a Democrat because that would outnumber the wacko, crazy Republicans in Congress.
And some people have said it would have ended the Republican Party.
We probably wouldn't have a Republican Party today if they had been allowed to vote as Democrats.
So that was another reason they wanted them out of the country.
Well, don't tell me we would have been deprived of having Lindsey Graham.
Well, you know, my grandfather, who was the, you know, My maternal grandfather, who was the most straight up guy you'd ever know, rock solid, he voted Democrat because that's what they did, you know, in the generations prior to him.
I mean, you know, going back.
Well, basically, everybody identified the Republicans with Lincoln, and if you were a true born white Southerner, you were not going to vote for Lincoln.
There you go.
And that extended on through the 1980s.
Yeah, exactly.
Through the 1980s.
You know, because he wouldn't have been at home at all with any of the Democratic policies, but he voted Democrat.
