[00:00:01] You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network and this is the Political Cesspool.
[00:00:08] The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
[00:00:21] And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
[00:00:28] Welcome everybody to the nice live broadcast of TPC.
[00:01:11] We are back in the studio tonight after an exhilarating experience at TPC's 20th anniversary conference last week.
[00:01:18] It's Saturday evening, May 25th, Yankee Memorial Day and I'm back with Keith Alexander at full strength after one hell of a week.
[00:01:27] Keith, how are you tonight?
[00:01:28] I'm doing great. I tell you what, we were decompressing. It was such a high out there where we were.
[00:01:34] I will not mention the name.
[00:01:35] Well it was California. People wouldn't expect us to have been out there, or was it Hawaii?
[00:01:39] I was wondering why you were in L.A. the whole weekend.
[00:01:41] I don't know about you. I was in Alaska.
[00:01:45] We had a good time wherever we were with great people and that's what we're going to be doing tonight.
[00:01:50] Spending one more week sort of breaking down some of the key takeaways from the event as we prepare to move forward, always forward here on TPC.
[00:02:00] But it is Memorial Day weekend and you know every time the calendar flips to Yankee Memorial Day, of course here in the south we have Decoration Day for the Confederates.
[00:02:11] But I break out that fun summer music and I was listening to that one so loud on my way to the post office this morning.
[00:02:18] I damn near busted out the windows but that's good stuff and normally I would spend a little bit of time talking about how I still can't understand how any self-respecting southerner would ever have a Yankee flag on their property.
[00:02:32] But we can't do that this week because we've got so much to talk about, so many emails, so much feedback.
[00:02:39] This one from a listener in Illinois.
[00:02:41] Greetings James. We listened to your show last weekend from the conference.
[00:02:46] It sounded like a fantastic event filled with a who's who in movement politics.
[00:02:50] It must have been an invigorating and exciting experience to be in a room full of sane people enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded folks.
[00:02:58] Will any of the speeches become available to those of us who were unable to attend?
[00:03:02] And I'd like to address that straight away.
[00:03:04] As a matter of fact, you can read Brad Griffin's speech.
[00:03:07] Brad really set the tone for the entire conference as our lead-off speaker.
[00:03:12] He teed it off last Saturday morning a week ago now if you're listening live.
[00:03:19] You can go to ThePoliticalSespoil.org or OccidentalDescent.com or The Unz Review or V-Day or elsewhere.
[00:03:29] Brad was a real breakout star.
[00:03:32] We cite him every week on this program and he's of course a big name in his own right, but his speech is everywhere.
[00:03:40] I've seen it on about six different websites, either that or his review of the conference.
[00:03:44] But his speech you can read at any of those websites, ours or his or elsewhere.
[00:03:49] And we will actually be playing the full conference speech given by Nick Griffin, the former member of European Parliament and our dear friend.
[00:03:57] We're going to be playing that in the second hour tonight.
[00:03:59] I was texting with Nick earlier today and he said he would be delighted if we did that.
[00:04:04] So that's what's going to be coming up.
[00:04:05] And then a little bit later, we're going to hear reflections from Mark Weber, Tim Murdock and Warren Balog on last week's gathering.
[00:04:12] And so that's what's coming up tonight.
[00:04:15] I think one more week of thought about this event would be a time well spent.
[00:04:23] And as I said to a friend earlier this week, first of all, I want to thank again everyone who was there without question.
[00:04:33] It is a lot of pressure to pull these things off.
[00:04:36] It is certainly I lost 13 pounds in the last three weeks leading up to the event just because this is the truth.
[00:04:43] That is not an exaggeration.
[00:04:44] Thirteen pounds because I stay so laser focused on delivering a good result for the people who are traveling across the country, even from as far down as Brazil.
[00:04:55] We had attendees and God bless those brothers.
[00:04:57] And well, we need to make this the James Edwards diet.
[00:05:02] I tell you, I would be back to fighting trim if I was just conference planning year round.
[00:05:06] But any event, it was hard for me, I think, to take it all in last week.
[00:05:11] So much happening so fast.
[00:05:13] So many people.
[00:05:14] But after getting home this weekend and sort of decompressing, it really was a very special thing.
[00:05:21] It was very worth it.
[00:05:23] So many people have reached out since last week.
[00:05:25] And I think over the course of tonight's program, folks, if you were unable to be there, for those of you who were there, we thank you for being there.
[00:05:31] For those of you who were not there, we hope that we could have the honor of your presence next time.
[00:05:36] But we'll be we'll be talking about it.
[00:05:39] We'll be talking about it tonight.
[00:05:41] So that's that's that such an honor.
[00:05:44] And, you know, another thing is that it wasn't just the speakers.
[00:05:47] The speakers were excellent.
[00:05:48] But all those people that just listened to the show and came in, Eddie, Phil, Rich, Chris, Hunter, all these good people that you can never name them all.
[00:06:02] That's why I hesitate to start doing a list because everybody who was there deserves to be mentioned.
[00:06:06] But it was just so it was so gratifying to know that we have a listenership like that.
[00:06:11] The people are smart.
[00:06:13] They're attractive people.
[00:06:14] They're good people and they are solid people that you can rely upon.
[00:06:19] There's no doubt about that.
[00:06:21] And then, as you said, it wasn't just the speakers.
[00:06:23] I mean, there were so many people there who could have matched the speakers in terms of talent and in content.
[00:06:29] And one of them emailed this week.
[00:06:31] All of us had a fantastic time.
[00:06:33] It was a truly impressive event.
[00:06:34] It was wonderful to meet you and Keith in person and all of the speakers.
[00:06:37] That's from Taylor Young and Enloe Hill Publishing.
[00:06:39] And I got to tell you, having met him and his team at this event for the first time.
[00:06:43] Now, of course, we've worked with them on the air for the last couple of years.
[00:06:46] And Taylor will be back with us in fact next week.
[00:06:49] But to meet them, they were very fine.
[00:06:53] Look, every group that was there was first rate.
[00:06:56] OK, every group that showed up in mass was, you know, every person there was just, you know, solid gold.
[00:07:04] A listener from Texas writes the 20th anniversary event was fantastic.
[00:07:08] The best event I've ever been to.
[00:07:10] It was a good three days of activities, two banquet dinners.
[00:07:14] The speaker list and itinerary was excellent.
[00:07:16] Had the chance to meet and speak with a lot of people there and make new connections.
[00:07:20] Also really liked that it was kept secret.
[00:07:22] The security was not needed.
[00:07:24] So this resulted in a more relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
[00:07:27] I know you worked very hard to organize it.
[00:07:29] So just wanted to tell you thanks and that I had a very nice time there.
[00:07:33] I actually dream, of course, of being able and thank you so much, Lane, for that email and for coming.
[00:07:39] For all of you for coming and people who weren't there were saying,
[00:07:42] well, you're going to do three hours on something that we weren't even at.
[00:07:45] Well, you'll understand by the end of this program why we're spending tonight doing that.
[00:07:49] And hopefully you'll enjoy so that you can be there by proxy.
[00:07:53] Well, that's part of it.
[00:07:55] But it's more than that is, you know, certainly part of it.
[00:07:58] But I will get to it.
[00:08:00] But I dream of having these things publicly.
[00:08:02] If we lived in a free country, unfortunately, we do not.
[00:08:05] But if we lived in a free country, you could have these things publicly.
[00:08:08] I think you're going to be looking at a very, very coveted crowd.
[00:08:12] But the fact that we had as many people there as we did under this shroud of secrecy was it was a hell of a turnout.
[00:08:21] And but, you know, what happens is people say, well, why can't you have these publicly?
[00:08:26] It is because, of course, that if you announce that you're going to have one of these things, what happens immediately?
[00:08:33] Immediately you have the practitioners of tolerance and diversity, the people who appreciate diversity and equity and inclusion.
[00:08:41] They immediately begin to make very violent threats against the venue.
[00:08:46] Isn't amazing how the people who are employees of the venue.
[00:08:50] We had that happen, Keith, all the way back in 2008.
[00:08:53] That was a lesson.
[00:08:54] I'll never forget it.
[00:08:55] It was a lesson only had to have one time they threatened to blow up the hotel.
[00:08:58] They called the general manager at his home and said they were going to kill him and his family.
[00:09:01] And so, of course, the event got canceled.
[00:09:03] Now that's what happens.
[00:09:04] But what's interesting now is that not only would that still happen, but that it's happening to everyone.
[00:09:09] Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, had an event in Colorado canceled just the week before our event because of these same similar threats and bad publicity.
[00:09:19] So, yes, you do cannot have a meeting in this country.
[00:09:23] What it focuses on for me is the necessity of the First Amendment having the right of freedom of speech and how censorship is something we just can't tolerate.
[00:09:36] We'd rather have too much than too little free speech.
[00:09:41] And so that is why we were not able, of course, to publicize it on the airwaves because you would have some of these very violent, intolerant and hateful people threaten to do things.
[00:09:53] And, of course, most of the time these are idle threats, but try telling that to a corporation that has to deal with the publicity and the fallout and all of that.
[00:10:01] And, of course, the threats to their property and to the livelihoods of their employees.
[00:10:05] So, yes, we do have to do these things, unfortunately, under these circumstances.
[00:10:11] But hopefully one day that will change and we can invite everyone and make it public and then everybody can come and wouldn't that be something?
[00:10:20] Wouldn't it be nice if people embraced not just the letter but the spirit of the First Amendment and our Bill of Rights?
[00:10:26] Then we would really have paradise on Earth.
[00:10:29] Even a Jewish group in Tennessee recently had an event shut down because of threats of violence.
[00:10:33] I don't think I've ever lived to see something like that.
[00:10:35] So this is something that's going on across the board.
[00:10:38] More emails, more reflections, more takeaways from last year's 20th anniversary event and then next week back to work, as I said, always forward, never back.
[00:10:49] But one more week on this.
[00:10:51] I think by the end of the program you'll be glad we did it.
[00:10:53] I hope anyway.
[00:10:54] We'll be right back.

[00:12:01] So you two are real actors, huh?
[00:12:04] Well I was an extra on a soap opera for three years.
[00:12:07] And I'm best known for starring in cat food commercials.
[00:12:10] And you're going to play our parents for how long?
[00:12:13] Oh just during dinner for the next few years probably until you're both off to college.
[00:12:17] Your real parents will be back every night at 8 o'clock.
[00:12:20] 8 o'clock?
[00:12:21] Dad's busy. He's got work, softball, client functions.
[00:12:24] Yeah and your mom she's got the literary club and play rehearsals.
[00:12:27] Don't you worry they'll be back on time.
[00:12:29] Otherwise we get time and a half.
[00:12:31] Time and a half. Ka-ching!
[00:12:32] Okay according to the script we're supposed to ask you how your day was.
[00:12:36] Yes.
[00:12:37] Um okay I guess.
[00:12:39] Oh is that the best you can do?
[00:12:41] I think I want my real parents.
[00:12:43] I don't see that in the script.
[00:12:45] No ad libbing please.
[00:12:47] There's no substitute for a loving parent
[00:12:50] and when you're really there you'll know how much you care.

[00:13:20] I never have liked the heat and humidity of the south but I have
[00:13:38] I have grown a little bit more as I've aged to appreciate all of the seasons for what they are.
[00:13:45] I still love fall and winter the best.
[00:13:47] The only good thing I can say about California is that the temperature is really in southern California ideal.
[00:13:54] But at any event I do you know summer has its charms.
[00:13:58] You go out, go to the lake, take your kids fishing and go to the beach if you can and all of that good stuff.
[00:14:04] Maybe go down to Brazil as some of our people certainly came up from Brazil.
[00:14:07] We had some great guys from Brazil.
[00:14:09] I love these two guys.
[00:14:11] That's a dynamic duo.
[00:14:13] And one of the brothers wrote this week I'm congratulating you again for the excellent conference.
[00:14:18] It was incredible.
[00:14:19] Congratulations to the entire organization.
[00:14:21] Very good to be with you Keith, Eddie, Jack, Ryan, Scoop and all the guests.
[00:14:25] I was fortunate enough to have had dinner with Jared Taylor and Mark Weber
[00:14:28] and another one with Sam Bushman and to have received an autographed book signed by Roger Devlin.
[00:14:33] See Roger was another guy who wasn't speaking and of course he can keynote any event he attends
[00:14:38] and he gave us the honor of his presence and of course raised the level of the company by his presence
[00:14:43] and was there just to support.
[00:14:45] Not every organization has a resident sexologist but we have that with Roger Devlin.
[00:14:49] Of course his talents are far beyond just being part of the manuscript and his sexual utopian power.
[00:15:01] We got that wrong last week.
[00:15:03] Yeah well I did.
[00:15:04] I think I got it wrong.
[00:15:06] But at any rate see so many talented people that can look.
[00:15:11] Roger basically keynoted for Jared a get together in Estonia I think it was or one of those Baltic nations.
[00:15:19] I think that was a Frodie Midyard.
[00:15:22] Well unless we're anyway.
[00:15:24] No no I think Jared was coming over and got stopped and turned around and sent back to America.
[00:15:30] It was one of those.
[00:15:31] Roger was able to pick up the baton.
[00:15:32] Exactly.
[00:15:33] And not lose any inequality.
[00:15:35] Our Brazilian friend writes it was good to meet up again with Barry who became a friend of his at the 15th anniversary party for TPC.
[00:15:42] They made it back home safe to Brazil and I'm happy to hear that.
[00:15:45] That's another thing about these events.
[00:15:47] This is why it's so important is that people make life long friendships.
[00:15:51] I saw and I won't say who but I saw two men at this event who had not seen each other in 17 years embrace and and tear up
[00:16:00] because I mean it is a very difficult thing to be to swim against the tide and that the tide is turning and the tide is turning in our direction certainly more now than it was when we started this thing 20 years ago.
[00:16:12] But we've all been through a lot.
[00:16:14] And so when you get back together in person and these opportunities are too far and few in between especially to be able to do it at a very high quality in a very high quality way.
[00:16:23] I mean there was a lot of emotion.
[00:16:25] Well everything is breaking well for our movement now.
[00:16:28] For example what's happening in Gaza and whatnot people having you know Jewish power and influences problematic side brought up where it's you know it's hard to deny.
[00:16:41] And then when you hear people like Sean Hannity and Ben Ferguson and Mark Levin trying to rationalize their position and try to turn them into the good guys.
[00:16:52] I mean it's just driving people to our movement and as you know we're the beneficiaries of that but we'll certainly take everything we can get to try to grow the movement.
[00:17:03] But our movement is growing our movement is basically in the ascendancy right now in my opinion and that we had this really at the perfect time we had this convention at the perfect time.
[00:17:16] Brad Griffin just a quick excerpt and I would encourage you all if you haven't seen it yet to go to Occidental descent dot com.
[00:17:22] You can't miss it.
[00:17:23] The political cesspool 20th anniversary conference the one thing that I really appreciate the whole thing I appreciated all of it but the one thing that I want to read to you right now is when he writes that the dissident right is like the Palace of Versailles.
[00:17:34] There's so many wings to it which are adjacent to the main building there are innumerable rooms and gardens where the various subcultures are each doing their own thing.
[00:17:42] We cross paths with each other sometimes we get into arguments over the various points of division people travel from room to room but I'll just say the political cesspool he uses my name it's about us not me.
[00:17:54] We not I is a unifying figure and is known and liked by nearly everyone TPC conference is a place where white nationalist white advocates all right people unreconstructed National Socialist paleo cons populist patriots Southern Nationalist Southern heritage activist and all can all feel at ease and all have a good time.
[00:18:14] There was one key takeaway that I would like to transmit to the entire wider listening audience who could not be there was this feeling of unity which over the years you don't always have but that is one thing I've always tried to do is fly above the turbulence we will work with anyone on any area of agreement we can find the more areas of agreement we can find with a person or an organization the better.
[00:18:39] But if it's only one will focus on that one and we have really done a I will say this a good job in bringing these different factions together as Brad mentioned in that feeling and that was reality was very palpable last week.
[00:18:54] Well you know on the other side of that is we never compromise why our basic principles we will never back away from what we believe in but we're always going to do it in a friendly and convivial and collegial way with our colleagues.
[00:19:09] Brad writes that when he walked through the door he felt rich fulfilled and among friends it was emotional and he goes on of course to tell you about what each of the speakers talked about a little brief Cliffs notes one paragraph summation of each presenter and their topic and then of course his entire speech.
[00:19:29] Brad's entire transcript word for word transcript of his speech that he gave is available for you all over the place TPCOD etc. I got to say again to everyone who was there and everyone who wasn't there who has given and supported this program to get us to 20 years so we could even have an event even if it was primarily for a select crew.
[00:19:49] But everyone has sacrificed our audience the people who were there the people who have kept us on the air who couldn't be there or didn't know about it. I wish I had had more time I said this once or twice at the event I wish I'd had more time to visit with everyone individually.
[00:20:06] I want to call everyone who was there and just thank them for being there but people asked why now not in October. October is our anniversary the show went on the air in October of 2004 so we've always done anniversaries that the anniversary conference is in October but this time we just don't know where the country is going to be this election.
[00:20:28] This election you know a couple of weeks before the election might be a little too hot to handle I don't know.
[00:20:33] Yeah so we decided to just have it early and get it get it done but get it done right 20 years to get there and it'll love it might take me a year to pay it off but these things are important.
[00:20:49] I went to a conference and I'll tell you another reason why we wanted to do this and why we thought it would be worthwhile to talk about it tonight is that I and I mentioned this last week at the podium.
[00:20:59] I went to a conference in 2004 in May of 2004 and it was a conference that David Duke had put together and it was my first time to meet David and also at that conference I met for the very first time.
[00:21:11] Sam Dixon Paul from Nick Griffin I'm trying to remember other people who were there that are still parts of the program so let me just say Carlos Cardo and Bob Whitaker were there they're passed away but there's so many people there and I'm telling you now I'd already been through the Buchanan campaign had already been through my run for office.
[00:21:28] But this was okay May of 04 was a few months before we started the radio program.
[00:21:34] What's key is it was two months before I got the call to start the radio program so at the end May of 04 I didn't even know there would ever be a political cesspool or radio program we started in October but the opportunity to start it didn't even manifest itself until later that summer and I will tell you that that conference.
[00:21:52] The people that I met there who have kept their fingerprints on my life and on my activism that conference changed my life and I would like to think that there was a chance with all of the young people they're fine intelligent.
[00:22:06] I was talking to Jared Taylor on the phone today I said Jared those guys those young guys that were there are so far ahead of where I was in my early 20s.
[00:22:14] I said they may be they may know more than I do now and you just never know what seed will blossom from one of these in person events had I not attended that event in 04 I don't know where we're at but we're not here and that's why you do these things that could happen again.
[00:22:31] But if nothing else it's going to be an opportunity for people to solidify friendships and renew acquaintances and make new ones and it's all good for you know reviving and refreshing oneself but a lot of things can happen at these things that you just can't put a price on.
[00:22:46] Well we had mentioned or you had mentioned just a moment ago Paul Fromm and I had a couple of people ask me what happened to Paul Fromm well unfortunately Paul lives in Canada and he can't you know travel to the United States anymore.
[00:23:00] It's an example of as bad as we have in America we don't have it nearly as bad as you know that little North Korea to the north of us Canada and a lot of other nations.
[00:23:13] We're up for example this entire spring we've been having to cover things with people that have been put in jail or being threatened with jail in Ireland and Belgium and all over Europe and it makes you think you're lucky stars that we live in America and that at least at this point we still have First Amendment protections.
[00:23:35] Well to an extent you certainly don't have the freedom of speech to an extent you know in terms of assembly.
[00:23:42] They just passed this new law where basically if you say anything that a Jewish advocate doesn't like you're taking your freedom in jeopardy.
[00:23:51] Well we learned at Charlottesville that you certainly don't have the freedom of assembly on the public square the freedom to take out a permit to demonstrate so yeah I mean you know freedoms are eroding but at the same time our movement is becoming so much more organized and robust.

[00:30:15] Hope everybody's having a good Yankee Memorial Day this weekend and any excuse to be off work on Monday will take I think and enjoy time grilling out by the pool if you can find one whatever you're doing.
[00:30:43] Be with family any excuse to be with family's got a great article I want to recommend to you.
[00:30:49] It's in identity Dixie is about how to be unreconstructed and one of the things is do you talk about eating lunch and having dinner you've been reconstructed.
[00:31:00] You're talking about dinner dinner and supper.
[00:31:03] I still catch myself on that.
[00:31:07] Back to some feedback amazing conference smashing success two words home run that was a plus all the way the venue the food the speakers the people and the on time performance now I will say we ran on time to the minute or we were early that bus we had a little field trip on Sunday morning
[00:31:23] and that bus was scheduled to leave at nine and a nine oh one those wheels were turning so I that that is something that you got to do.
[00:31:32] Congratulations on the great event I was pleased and honored to join you and so many other fine men and women in Idaho for your memorable conference.
[00:31:40] Thank you for that.
[00:31:41] I have to say again this is that that was a second piece of email that had come in this week a third here now I have to say again so well organized everything went smoothly and that is to say that the organizer has jumped through hoops and worked his tail off you can be incredibly proud for the effort I had a great time that some fantastic people that actually was written in.
[00:32:00] You know that is actually one of the biggest compliments I got because of who it came from this man actually came up and told me.
[00:32:10] And I heard this from other people but he said this was the best conference ever to attend it that was Harry Cooper.
[00:32:15] Now Harry Cooper, Harry Cooper plans events in Europe for former members of the American British and German military in World War two so for a guy like that to say he enjoyed it that much and he came up to me on a couple of occasions.
[00:32:31] To say how well he was a big hit.
[00:32:35] Oh my gosh anybody I'll tell you what there's nobody like Harry Cooper in the world there is nobody that does the work that he does this man has in his 80s he's got more vigor than I do and he's not making money off of this basically what he's doing it's just like keeping the people realize
[00:32:52] torch lit.
[00:32:53] Well he gave a fantastic talk and he got a standing ovation and well deserved and I know a lot of people were interested again a lot of us do overlapping work.
[00:33:06] He does work that nobody's doing and nobody even comes close to even being in the same universe as him.
[00:33:12] And so to have him there was a big treat I think if you look at it all the blend and again the speakers were we had a mystery speaker on the first night but on Saturday the main day of the program Brad Griffin Tim Murdock of White Rabbit Radio Warren Balog of Modern Politics formerly the National
[00:33:32] Justice Party then Harry Cooper of Shark Hunters in the afternoon Nick Griffin former member of European Parliament Mark Webber of IHR Jared Taylor of Amron and then of course Sam Dixon the venerable the incomparable Sam Dixon that was our Saturday program and then we wrapped it all up with Michael Hill on Sunday morning.
[00:33:51] We saved the fire in Brimstone for Sunday morning with Chief Hill but that is just I think a speaking lineup that really reflects dare I use this word the diversity of the topics and the speakers that you find featured here on this program.
[00:34:06] Well you know it was not only diverse it was very integrated and coordinated and we didn't plan it that way.
[00:34:13] It's just that the way things are happening everybody is seeing stuff in a similar light and all of the it's like we've given a topic out and said we want you to speak about this part of that part of it.
[00:34:25] This we didn't we just left it entirely up to the speakers not all just worked like it had been coordinated intentionally.
[00:34:33] None of the speakers knew what either of the others were going to be talking about and it seemed as though every message reinforced the next and it was building a synergy and it was just it was just fantastic.
[00:34:44] Harry Cooper wrote to his own email list he sent this out to the shark hunters email list this week.
[00:34:50] Of course I'm a member but that he'd been out of contact for a few days because he had attended the 20th anniversary conference at the political cesspool and that he was so fortunate to have met some of the nicest people in the world.
[00:35:03] People who came on board and joined shark hunters and that we made it all look easy.
[00:35:09] He shared a couple of pictures that I had sent him just wonderful love Harry Cooper to death is a said we're the nicest races he ever met.
[00:35:19] He didn't say that I'm getting you now this comes from one of the jolly boys who made the trip out of South Carolina to our location there in the northeast but.
[00:35:31] Hunter writes thank you for including us the way you did I've been seeing some of the attendees online and reading their materials for years but to meet them in person in such an intimate way was unreal it was a very intimate.
[00:35:45] Gathering.
[00:35:47] It was pretty amazing to watch you play both master of ceremonies and radio host at the same time it was also amazing that you could put on such an event at such a fine facility without any issues taking place.
[00:35:59] That's a testament to the ability that you have to organize and do things right and I love how and by the way, that's it where there's this show and event interviews that we do whatever we do whatever we're part of.
[00:36:12] Set an example and do things the right way you've got to do things the right way people notice when you do and I loved how he ended this had a lot of fun and everything was great.
[00:36:22] I know that we'll be around for many years to come the future is bright dangerous and exciting I'm going to steal that that is it right I tell you what it was the jolly boys were really a joy.
[00:36:36] You know that it was wonderful to meet those guys they were just salt of the earth guys every last one of them and it was a it was.
[00:36:47] I was gratified to have met them in person talk with them and those are the type of people that we have in our movement now and I wouldn't trade them for any group in the world I've never seen him outside of South Carolina so for them to make the trip to Kentucky last week just it means a lot.
[00:37:03] Here's another one this comes from Rick Tyler Rick Tyler I love Rick Tyler anytime I get the chance to see Rick Tyler it's always to my benefit about an inspiration to us all sure yeah I said you know I you know he has 20 kids and I made him announce that I didn't make him do anything I asked him hey Rick how many kids you got 20.
[00:37:21] And so he raised the entire group to by itself he and he raised the entire group to replacement level fertility.
[00:37:30] Rick said it was a great privilege and honor to share in this historic occasion of celebrating 20 unbroken years of top top notch broadcasting not everyone understands the enormity of that accomplishment.
[00:37:41] I'm thrilled of the prospect of continuing to be involved with the show in the days ahead by God's grace there will be victories in the future the weekend was superb a spirit of unity was prevalent that's why we're doing this show tonight folks unity unity unity we are all together we have plenty of enemies we don't need any on the right.
[00:38:02] This is a unifying force we've got here you're a powerful influence along such lines Rick Tyler writes is something that we desperately need keep up the outstanding work I stand ready to help in any way that I can may God continue to bless inspire protect you and mutual brotherly love and appreciation.
[00:38:18] That is what TPC is all about we are a family and it was something that was mentioned over and over and over again not something that was just mentioned something that was felt.
[00:38:26] Let me say this that extends to all of the audience by the way that was not there all of you all of us equal you know some people might take issue with us about and say well how can you hold these events without any you know backwash basically we lie our heads off but we have to do that and let me tell you everybody the participants the hotels everybody that's involved in it they appreciate that because they don't want a lot of heartache.
[00:38:56] I mean you know they would rather us give up trying to be squeaky clean.
[00:39:01] Well I mean you say we lie we don't really lie we tell them we give them a name and we give them our name but we don't say it's a political conference we don't advertise it okay.
[00:39:10] And they they appreciate it they don't know to appreciate or not appreciate it I mean it's just like any other group things going off as seamlessly as they well if there was a whiff of controversy because as I said I mean now Christie Noam is getting cancelled Republicans are getting cancelled everybody's getting cancelled.
[00:39:26] We live in this type of world but we do and we're realistic about it and as a result we're making progress what you give them that you give them your name and you don't you know you're running your running space.
[00:39:38] It's not very complicated you get my name you don't publicize it and there's no problem that's it I mean so it's not it's not rocket science but really lying what it is is you know we're not undressing ourselves and well we're not saying what the left would say about us we're not saying well yes I'm a white supremacist neonat you know we're not going to say all of the things that we're going to do.
[00:39:56] We're not that the left says about us and so by not doing that you don't have controversy everybody not just ourselves but everybody including the hotels and the vendors and everybody else by doing that and you know we have no apologies to make the gentleman that you rode with from Arkansas writes this was the best conference ever and TPC has a monopoly on beauty there were a lot of good looking.
[00:40:20] Oh absolutely.
[00:40:22] I thought you would you know maybe say a little more about that.
[00:40:25] They really did we had so many beautiful women young families young families and young and old ladies there we had people that were.
[00:40:36] Yet children yet everybody from this is not a bunch of old gobblers like it was you know back in the old days.
[00:40:44] This is it we're casting a much broader net now than we had in the past and that's another sign every generation I think was there from infant to octogenarian will be right back.
[00:40:55] Hello TPC family it's James and I've got to tell you that I sleep better at night knowing that there are organizations like the conservative citizens foundation the purpose of the conservative citizens foundation is to promote the principles of limited government individual liberty equality before the law property rights law and order

[00:43:01] The Congress of the United States is Israeli occupied territory what I meant by that is the most powerful lobby in Washington which Congress can't stand up to one of the most powerful is certainly the pro Israeli lobby it has gotten its way in this town year in and year out
[00:43:17] and I don't think the automatic votes of the Congress of the United States for three and four billion dollars worth of aid to Israel are necessarily in the national interest of the United States and that comment which is to ridicule the subservience of the Congress of the United States is perfectly valid.
[00:43:32] I think they're voting the interest of a powerful lobby which they can't stand up to in many cases one of many they cave into lobbies all over this city.
[00:43:40] I think the Congress of the United States where it's got brave men on both sides is an institutional coward and that when a powerful lobby can influence or defeat them back at home and they can't get much support on the other side for a vote.
[00:43:54] Many of them who will even tell you privately they will tell you privately I can't stand up to that kind of heat they will vote for.
[00:44:00] That of course is the voice of the one and only Pat Buchanan who of course without his influence and that experience I had on his campaign in 1999 and 2000 there would have never been a political cesspool you can't talk about the history of political cesspool without talking about Pat Buchanan and he was talked about at length at that conference.
[00:44:21] Brad Griffin cited him heavily in his speech paleo conservatism from the margins to the mainstream and Warren Baylock Warren Baylock let's mention him what a fantastic guy I love that guy and what a great speak speaker what a great speech and he's just about contemporaries aren't you?
[00:44:39] That's right I'm two years older than him we were both at that reform party nominating convention in 2000.
[00:44:44] That's right but his entire speech basically was dedicated to Pat Buchanan and so the first two speakers heavy on Buchanan and I thank them for that and so we're talking about 20 years we're talking about that conference Buchanan featured heavily.
[00:45:02] Well look Pat Buchanan didn't tell a lie when he was talking about the influence of APAC and the Jewish lobby and other big lobbies but again you see the downside of it he was shot down.
[00:45:15] Sam Francis wrote a very influential piece about it saying that we've got to go beyond being beautiful losers you can tell the truth and lose and nobody's going to give you any credit in the long run about that so we're going to take the approach of Al Davis the Jewish owner of the Oakland Raiders who famously said just win baby we're going to win and that's what we're intent upon doing.
[00:45:41] We have been cheated and horn swoggled out of victories like for example in 2020 the presidential election was obviously stolen from Donald Trump and you know we are not going to allow these things to happen again okay if the Republican party does not want to represent us we'll find another group that will but we're not going to allow people to sell us down the river.
[00:46:05] Let's talk a little bit more about Pat and how he was so reverentially mentioned in these talks of Brad Griffin I mean Warren Baylock.
[00:46:16] He's like the godfather of the whole movement if you just want to know okay.
[00:46:19] But Brad Griffin talking about how what you know you've I'm sure read Brad's speech of course you heard it live but looking at that that's one that everybody can actually put their eyes to and read along for themselves but he's talking about how after Buchanan's campaign in 2000 that neoconservatism was the dominant force in American politics our issues were dead and buried and then it led into war with the president of the United States.
[00:46:47] And then it led into Warren but he talked about how over the course of the last 20 years though it's come back.
[00:46:55] Our opinions are in the ascendancy and neoconservatism is dying.
[00:46:59] And then even Warren Baylock when he was citing all of these things he cited an interview that Pat gave a couple of years ago where he said you know reflecting on it all now from you know the 2020s.
[00:47:11] He said I didn't make it but the ideas did and now these ideas are the energetic force we are the counterculture again now and we are the ascendant ones it's moving back history is bending back into our direction.
[00:47:25] Victoria Nuland resigned from being the undersecretary of state I think the number three person.
[00:47:31] She was like the exemplar of modern neoconservatism but guess what she's about to lose the Ukraine war in her side and people in America don't want to be used anymore as a police force for the world which is what the neocons want they were never conservative.
[00:47:50] They just basically wanted to gather the strength of the conservatives and put it to their Jewish interests for the most part and all of that you know it's just like he said like Pat said our ideas of one we didn't win the elections but guess what we're winning.
[00:48:10] And so they're on the cusp of winning big and we need to keep that in mind and you know really give it our all in the coming year because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
[00:48:25] Well I would say this people are saying well where's all the winning at it looks like worse off on every turn.
[00:48:30] I get that I know what you're saying folks meta politically though things are changing in a big way.
[00:48:35] Now you get to you in terms of ideas we're winning in terms of actual winning elections we haven't been winning or anything but one thing has to come first.
[00:48:44] Yeah we've got it and it's going to happen and you know the fact that you know between 2000 when James and Warren were working in the Buchanan Reform Party Pat Buchanan campaign well guess who his primary opponent was in that for the Reform Party nomination Donald Trump.
[00:49:07] People forget that people think that that's just hyperbole that that's an overstatement that's an exaggeration well if you think that you weren't there Donald Trump wanted the Reform Party nomination the Buchanan Brigades were organized stopped it we were there we know what happened.
[00:49:19] And it's well cited I mean Warren cited half a dozen very recent articles about that it's just something that doesn't get talked about very much all right back to feedback.
[00:49:30] Let's see this comes from one of the mothers that were there with her family you make the entire calls look good it did a lot to help my daughter's impression of the movement if anyone tries to tell her we're ignorant or low class she will have the image of your conference in her head that certainly means a lot and that goes back to again so many people of all ages there and it's something you just don't see at the other stops on our circuit some of the other conferences are not quite there yet and you know I was at a conference in New York and
[00:50:00] there was that one table in the back of the room with a bunch of coloring books and play dough and just kids there's kids and taking naps and strollers it was a hell of a thing I only wish we could unleash it to the world but we don't have a free country and that was a speaker's table now.
[00:50:15] That's right.
[00:50:22] I'm calling books man.
[00:50:25] Yeah, but all right so anyway that being said, that being said, we did take a little bit of a hit on that it is a long term investment.
[00:50:35] I have always been the most discerning faithful steward of the resources that the political cesspool receives through our listening audience we're hundred percent listener supported there is no commercial support we have ads we do things on a barter deal we like to help our friends.
[00:50:53] But we don't really make any money off of the ads, you know, so to speak.
[00:50:58] Labor of love it just like with Pat Buchanan with somebody like Harry mill of what's Harry's last Cooper Cooper yeah but anyway but yeah that's how it is but but the thing is though we did lose a little money on the conference I mean we could have cut some costs.
[00:51:13] We could have had one banquet meal instead of two we could have nixed the band but no, you know I are causes first class or gatherings have to be first class we always have to present in a first class way and I and I say again I have to go back to this the networking that takes place at these things
[00:51:28] or something of an immeasurable value you can't put a price on that young talent and young people and see now they are networked into this organization networked I mean if they were networked before but I mean all of these things that we took a little hit that's okay it's a long term investment but I have to say this.
[00:51:48] I have my wife we're going to be working all day on Yankee Memorial Day sending out mailing out the second quarter fundraising appeal. I know folks if you were there you spent money to get there I realized that I know you give if you were there it's because you're one of our top owners you're one of our most trusted allies.
[00:52:07] I know you're giving a lot of money to get there not quite the same as funding the program though you spent money with Delta United American Airlines unfortunately they didn't share with us so please keep us in mind this quarter I say that we need it big time if you were there and you had a good time especially but we're going to mail these things out on Tuesday because the post office is going to take a day off on Monday they take most days off as it is but they're going to take off Monday but we're going to mail these second quarter fundraising appeals out for our second quarter which
[00:52:37] runs until June 30th second quarter fundraising drive. I think we're going to be mailing them out on Tuesday so hopefully by the end of next week you'll get them and take a look at that and there'll be a return envelope we would really enjoy to have your response to that we never ever ever do anything at a deficit we always stay on budget we went a little over budget for this event the cost of doing these things if you haven't put one on you just don't know everything is grossly inflated the prices are crazy we could have had it at
[00:53:07] a dump we could have made our loop you know movement look a little bit less than what it is by cutting costs but we wanted it to be as good as it could be while still you know being reasonably near budget and I think we pulled that off but we do need a little help in the second quarter.
[00:53:19] Nobody went through more travail than I did to get there though right? Oh yeah you had tell them that remind them of that story by the way. We were involved in one of the worst wrecks I can imagine and basically the hand of the Lord was protecting us nobody was seriously injured at least if they hadn't
[00:53:36] manifested itself yet but we you know God's grace. God wanted you to be there. Yeah exactly our driver had some country relatives in the vicinity they loaned us a car we got up there did everything it was never there was never in anyone's mind the idea of turning back and not going through it.
[00:53:57] That's something ladies and gentlemen that is a testament to the spirit of this program and Keith Alexander who so many people wanted to meet people who hadn't met you in person Keith for the first time out a lot of people say Keith's going to be there right? Please tell me Keith's going to be there.
[00:54:08] Keith has a wreck totals the car that they're in and they're still there later that day. Like a Timex watch takes a lick and keeps on ticking.
[00:54:19] Hey there was a spirit of we shall overcome if I can appropriate that. That brings up some bad memories. We're sick and tired of being sick and tired and all of that but it was a fantastic event. Hey if you weren't there you didn't get to hear Nick Griffin's speech but you will in the next hour we're going to play a fantastic speech and this speech is just one of nine we heard ten actually.
[00:54:46] You're going to be ready to come.
