Radio Show Hour 1 – 2025/02/22

Radio Show Hour 1 – 2025/02/22

It has been over a month since the inauguration, and we have quickly moved through the first several weeks of our programming calendar. Host James Edwards will take some time for himself this hour as his opinion on Trump begins to crystallize. Hear how his thoughts have settled on the president – and Gaza.

[00:00:01] 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.

[00:00:30] Every time you kiss me, I'm still not certain that you love me. Every time you hold me, I'm still not certain that you care. Though you keep on saying you really say the same words to someone else when I'm not there. Suspicion. Oh!

[00:01:05] Suspicion. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's live broadcast. What a show we have for you tonight. A show of shows. Our last before we kick off March Around the World. Can't wait for two months of special programming. March Around the World, followed by April's Confederate History Month. But before we get to that, before we even start that, we've got a barn burner for you tonight.

[00:01:34] Let me tell you what's coming up. Coming up most immediately will be, at the top of the second hour, Scoop Stanton. Joining us live from the floor of CPAC, where he was a part of the credentialed media this weekend. And he was in the room with President Trump today and got some pictures and Elon Musk yesterday and a lot of good things coming out of there. And he will tell us about that. Also, Sonny Thomas.

[00:02:02] And in the third hour, prolific author Paul Kersey will be back to discuss his book, Escape from Detroit, which has been republished and made available again by Antelope Hill Publishing. That is all coming up. But first, that song, Suspicion. Still some suspicion surrounding Donald Trump. That was Terry Stafford from the mid-60s. It has been over a month since the inauguration. And we have quickly moved through the first several weeks of our programming calendar.

[00:02:29] But we're going to take a little time for ourselves this first hour. I want to – it's been a month. I have looked at all the pro and con arguments pertaining to Trump and certainly all of the things coming out of Washington that we've done our best to cover for the last several weeks. It's coming fast, and we're doing all we can to keep up with it. But this is going to take a little time to offer my opinion that is now pretty much settled on the president. And we will get to Gaza, too. I want to address Gaza.

[00:03:00] But there was an article from Countercurrents that I want to read from. And it basically sums up my view on this just to get started. Now, let me develop this whole hour. All right? Let me develop this whole hour because this is pretty much where I stand. But with regard to Countercurrents, the title of the article is Growing Old Head Gracefully. And it asks the question, are we winning with Trump? And have we already won, in fact? And I think my opinion is it's somewhere in between those two.

[00:03:30] But the author refers to old heads as movement veterans. Movement veterans. You know what I mean. And he writes this. To the old head, the victory is bittersweet. The movement, quote, unquote, will never again be what it once was, which was a ragtag band of eccentrics, autistic political theory nerds, and rebels with more than a few sociopaths sprinkled in for seasoning. It will gradually professionalize and, in the process, may be less fun. What was once punk rock became mainstream pop.

[00:04:00] As the Overton window shifts, the danger declines. And if we're being honest, the danger was always kind of part of the thrill. White nationalism was like riding the tiger. You either ride white nationalism to victory or the tiger eats you. But at last, Elon Musk has put the tiger to rest. This author for countercurrents writes, I think Doge employee Marco Elez getting rehired after it was discovered that he made profoundly racist statements is a historical event of Rosa Parks magnitude.

[00:04:28] The last of Con Inc.'s gatekeeping machinery has broken down. My response to that is this. I never thought that I or we would be fringe forever. I didn't want to be. Never did. From day one with this radio program, it was always my intention to play a part in dragging our cause, kicking and screaming into the mainstream. And that's really your only options.

[00:04:52] If you don't want to remain on the fringe and you have inflexible beliefs and adherence to your ideology, as we do, there is only one recourse for you. You take your ideology mainstream. And we have played a part in that for the last 20 years. I think we are there now. Now, psychologically, maybe some people on the right do want to be on the edge, but I don't. I want to be where the action is.

[00:05:15] And certainly I want to be where the action is without ever backing down on any of our core issues pertaining to identity and race and Christ in the South and all the things that makes this show what this show is. But I want to be at the table, not out in the cold. You can't win there. And Brad Griffin was commenting on this countercurrents article. And he says, you know, frankly, some people have developed tunnel vision when it comes to the Jews, so much so that they have been unable to enjoy the good things that have been happening in this past month.

[00:05:42] They've convinced themselves that the actual destruction of this evil that we're seeing is a Jewish plot. To that, I would say, you know, certainly this is not overlooking that very real problem. But I like how Jason Kessler, Jason Kessler had an article also at Countercurrents, as it were, entitled Israel, Israel, Israel, Trump derangement on the right.

[00:06:06] And he says something that I agree with here, that the Jews are a very real and powerful and nepotistic ethnic lobby with organization and leadership, but one of many competing power blocks with shared power in a pluralistic society. And I think that one of the reasons the Jews have been so successful, of course, is, well, Kevin MacDonald talks about their evolutionary psychology, and we could get into that for days.

[00:06:35] But they are very ethnocentric, and they are very intelligent, and they have always come together as a people, and we know what they do to their host societies. I mean, this is all very real. But to say that they control everything, bad and even good, I think resolves you to having no agency at all. If they are that omnipowerful and omnipresent, then what are you doing? There's just no way you can overcome something like that. I don't believe that. I believe that we've talked about this.

[00:07:04] I believe they make mistakes and that they will continue to make mistakes, and we can overcome that. But Kessler writes at CounterCurrency, which is suggesting that Israel has dictated all of these policy achievements that we've been talking about on this show for the last month. I would challenge you to provide evidence, or I would suggest that you've fallen victim to conspiracy theorizing, Jason Kessler writes. Israel is an important issue in a number of respects. It is true that the Israeli lobby is a parasite on governments throughout the West.

[00:07:34] It should certainly be addressed. We have been addressing it for 20 years on this program, but it does not overshadow everything else. There's a smart version of the JQ that is based on things which can be proven with evidence. There's a low IQ version that posits Jews are responsible for, as I just said, I actually just said this, everything that happens, good and bad. And the situation is really more complex than that.

[00:07:57] He writes in the conspiracy theory version is so dogmatic and absolute that it borders on a religious fervor rather than a cool analysis. To that, James Kirkpatrick responded, you're a wise man, Kessler. The all or nothing nationalist won't even give you credit for the nuances you've clearly communicated here. He's a little harsh in this, I believe.

[00:08:17] Kirkpatrick is at countercurrents saying that it's at the point where you have to adopt the old Jonathan Bowden step over them approach at this point. I don't go necessarily that far. I think we need to be well aware of this continued threat while not being so frightened by it or concerned with it that we believe that nothing good can ever genuinely happen.

[00:08:47] Brad Griffin wrote jokingly, every time they criticize something great that Trump has done being the will of the Jews, I become slightly less anti-Semitic. Can you hear me? Yeah, I got to pop you up. Yeah. Okay, put it up. Here's what I'm here's my analogy. If you're a young boxer and you're having some success, what do you want to do?

[00:09:08] Do you want to go right into a match with the champion of your league and possibly get demolished and never have a future? Or do you want to work your way up knocking off other contenders judiciously, wisely, until you're ready for the championship fight? I think the Jews are like the champions of this weight division.

[00:09:36] And if you go after them, that's going to be the toughest nut to crack. And if you lose, then you've lost everything. All these other battles that you could have won, you won't win because the Jews will take you out. Trump is wise enough to know from his days as a real estate developer in New York that basically you don't want to take on the Jews. I think that, you know, he knows about Jewish power and influence and he knows enough to stay away from them.

[00:10:05] You know, it's like going into, you know, you've never fought a fight before and you're going in to fight Mike Tyson. Okay. You know, that's not a good strategy. You need to get some victories under your belt. And I think that's what's happening. And, you know, this is the most revolutionary and the most accelerated presidency that I can remember. And we're going to talk about some more good things he has done in this hour before we go to the floor of CPAC where Scoop was with the president today.

[00:10:33] Not side by side talking to him, but in the room and pretty close. But anyway, keep going, Keith. Well, the thing is, we need some victories, okay? And he's got everything lined up. Why is this particular presidency so much more effective, so much more fast-paced than anything we've had before? My thought is that this is what Agenda 2025 was all about. This is why you heard the left talking about it fearfully.

[00:11:02] I think they scouted out, talent scouted out people for all these positions. They had them all vetted, knew what they were going to do. They came up with a plan. And Elon Musk, I think, has really found the Achilles heel of the left. Basically, it's a big patronage system. These left-wingers all expect to be paid princely sums like Rachel Maddow getting multi-millions of dollars.

[00:11:27] She's not worth multi-hundreds of dollars, but she gets it because she's a leftist. And if you attack their money-making organization, which is basically a scam run through the government like USAID, if you can stop that, you're going to stop them because they're not like us. They're not used to working for free like people on the right are. They've got to be paid. And if they're not paid, they'll give up the fight.

[00:11:55] They'll just sit around and do nothing. Let me put a clear point to my position on this as it stands right now vis-a-vis Jewish power and influence and what we've seen out of the Trump administration in the first year. Look, I mean, if your argument is that all of this is a ruse to get us to go fight a war for them, well, they've never had to offer concessions to whites before for anything, so why now?

[00:12:25] And certainly they've never had to offer concessions for us to get the United States to go into war on behalf of Israel. We've been doing that for a hundred years. Well, at least by the 90s, you know, with the Clean Break Memorandum, they have basically sold hat for them to get us to fight their wars for. Without giving us any concessions, much less all of the things that we've been trying to keep up with in the last month. And again, I just want to reiterate this. So I don't think that's the case. I mean, why would they do that now? They never had to do it before. We're getting all these good things.

[00:12:53] I think if you, again, if you think the Jews are so in control of every outcome, both bad and good, I just said this, that I think you've surrendered your ability to affect positive change. And if you're saying that your ideal is 1930s Germany and anything less is scraps, then I got to tell you, I just don't see that scenario playing out right here, right now. Well, think about this, though, James. Think about how smart it is what Trump has done.

[00:13:21] He's come in with this crazy idea of turning Gaza into a resort. I want to talk about Gaza in a second. You know, a new Atlantis or something like this, you know, in the Bahamas. And the idea of moving all of the Palestinians out and they can't come back, of course, he's totally won over at least 80 percent of the Jewish Israeli population. By doing that, people that basically were dead set against him have now fallen in love with him over in Israel.

[00:13:50] But is anything ever going to become of this? Well, it remains to be seen. All right. And I think that they probably won't. The Palestinians are not going to give up without a two-state solution. I'm about to get into that. And I got a take on Gaza, really, that I haven't heard anywhere else. But I've been thinking about it. And this is where I'm landing. I'm about to get to that. But I just want to say this very quickly.

[00:14:13] Again, if the ideal is, you know, a total removal of a certain group of people from powers of influence, like you saw in Germany. Or from a geographic locale. I just don't know if that's going to happen right now. I mean, for instance, I'm a proud southerner. And an independent south is an ideal to me. But I don't see that moment happening right now either. Maybe it never will. But let me say this. But just we said this at Dixie Republic. This was Hunter from the Jolly Boys. If you can't have your top option, it doesn't mean that there is no good to be found in options 2, 3, 4, and 5. So, yes, there are some good men.

[00:14:43] And these are my brothers out there. I'm not pointing at anyone. You think, oh, he must be talking about this guy or that guy. I'm not talking about anyone. I am hip to this argument. It is debatable. It is a conversation that must be had. And this is where I land on it. But so I would rather be in the foxhole with people who disagree with me on Trump than with Trump himself. If they are people that we have worked with in the past. But and I would. But that doesn't mean that we disagree on other matters. We don't.

[00:15:11] And it is commonplace in some elements of our movement that if you disagree with a person on a small number of questions or even a single question, you can't collaborate and have fellowship. And, of course, that's never been the way here at TPC. So I've never believed that. But rather, I will look for even just one thing that I can work with people on. But suffice it to say, the credibility of some people might take a blow as a result of this. And I don't mind. It might be mine. But I don't mind reminding you that I don't make it a habit of being wrong often. I love you. I'm on your side.

[00:15:37] But if you're not having fun with some of this, you need to, I think, reassess. Look at this. I want to say this very quickly and then to you. Kevin MacDonald, if anybody knows what makes them tick, it is Kevin MacDonald. He wrote an article that I would encourage you to read. If my 20 years of service in this cause isn't enough to carry weight, well, maybe Kevin MacDonald. He wrote this article, The Possibility of a New Elite. And I have reposted it at The Political Cesspool.

[00:16:06] If you go to thepoliticalcesspool.org, you can read it. And he writes this, I am perhaps best known for documenting a hostile, highly influential Jewish elite in the United States and throughout the West. But I think things are changing in a good direction. And he writes about the media. He writes about funding the left. He writes about, in this article, academia. And all of this, of course, with the Jewish question being in mind, he offers a conclusion.

[00:16:34] And I'll just read the final line. That he writes that he is an optimist. And that he thinks a lot of the figures on the right are quite aware of the effects of Jewish power and influence on the formerly dominant white America. But it's also hard to believe that the Jews are going to be able to retain their positions as paragons of tolerance and virtue. And that we can take our country back. So that is Kevin MacDonald's take on all of this. Kevin MacDonald's take.

[00:17:05] He literally wrote the books on Jewish behavioral and evolutionary psychology. And he is coming down, at the very least, as positive as I am on the early days of this administration. So check that out. That's my take on it. And I want to talk about Gaza very, very quickly. And I got to be exceedingly frank about Gaza. I do not care about Gaza. I don't care about the sand people on either side of it.

[00:17:35] I, you know, they're Arabs, of course, in the West Bank and in Gaza. I think you really have to make a stretch to argue that those people are Caucasian. Some of them are whiter than others, yes. But the facts are, according to a census as of 2015, Christians in Palestine comprise about 1% to 2.5% of the population of the West Bank

[00:18:04] and are about 0.13% of the population of the Gaza Strip. So they're not white and they're not Christian. So, you know, frankly, I'm not trying to be cold here. I'm not trying to be hard. But I don't care. I don't care about the other side either. I don't, you know, certainly don't care, you know, about the Jews as far as it goes between this conflict that will stem until the end of time. These people have always fought. They will always fight. That's just all there is to it.

[00:18:33] Now, you know, people are saying, well, I mean, it's just so terrible. But a lot of people are trying to talk about how awful this genocide is. And it is a genocide. It is a genocide. I see the pictures of these kids. I see these bombings. It's a terrible, terrible thing. Is it worse than the Rwandan genocide? I mean, how many of our people were so upset and felt so bad for the, you know, the... Tutsis. The Tutsis, you know, how many, between a half a million and a million were starved, raped, murdered.

[00:19:03] I mean, the most extreme examples of genocide you could get to. And the Tutsis, the Hutus were doing that to the Tutsis. I mean, genocide is a tale as old as time. It's awful. I'm sure it would have been sad to see pictures of those kids, you know, being torn apart like that. But, you know, you just don't have enough emotional capital to care for everything. I mean, do you care when some inner city gangbanger in Chicago gets mowed down?

[00:19:31] Or even if it's an innocent kid that gets shot by a stray bullet. I mean, murders and terrible things happen on an individual and community-wide and racial-wide basis all the time. So why do we care so much about the Gazans? Well, obviously the reason is because it's a cudgel to use against Israel. And that's fine. I get it. And that should be used. You want to take the Jews down a peg because of their behavior over there? Go for it.

[00:19:56] But let's not pretend that, look, if it was the South Africans, I would have a lot more. Skin in the gang. I would have a lot. These are my people. If it did like this little kid looked almost exact. I don't even remember where this occurrence was. She looked exactly like my niece. Almost a spitting image. And, you know, she got hit in the head with a bullet by, you know, some black was going by. The basketball rolled in his yard. You know, he shot her in the head a couple of years ago.

[00:20:25] I mean, that is something that does cause me emotional grief. If it's the South Africans or the Germans at Dresden, you know, that causes me a lot of emotional grief. I feel for those people. I want to fight for those people. I want to defend those people. But these things with the – those are my people. Those are examples where I can relate. I can't relate to the Tutsis. I can't relate to the Gazans. I don't care. I think a lot of people are feigning caring because it's, again, it's a political tool to use against Israel. That's fine. But let's be real about what it is.

[00:20:53] Really, I like the idea, the analogy of the fighter working his way up the division for the – you know, you don't come right out and say, I'm now a boxer, which we are now. We really do have a fighter's chance now with Trump. Do we want to go in the ring right away with Mike Tyson or do you want to work your way up and get some victories? Think of all the victories we're getting now.

[00:21:18] He is seriously weakening and hamstringing the left by going after their money and stopping that flow of government money. You know, what they say, lead, follow, or get out of the way. Get out of his way. Let him do that. He knows that the Jews are a big problem, but this is not the fight we need to fight at this time.

[00:21:42] We need to get all these other things that he's making progress on out of the way. Otherwise, if we go in there immediately, fight Goliath, and Goliath wins, then none of this other stuff will get done. And we need – see, I'm more focused on our nation and our people. I want to see us win.

[00:22:04] You know, I'm not willing to stake our future against an outside shot that somehow Jewish power and influence is going to be brought down. But it is. Keith, it is going to be. It is inevitably going to be. It's lost popularity on the right and on the left, obviously on the left, but on the right as well. And even young evangelical Christians aren't as enamored as some of these older Christian Zionists who are beginning to die out. So the Jewish power and influence is waning, and it will continue to wane, and that's going to happen.

[00:22:33] But I've got to say this about Gaza, though. One more thing about Gaza is you could say, well, there are friends against these enemies. Enemies of my enemies are my friends. But are they really – I mean, are Muslims – you know, the 95, 96, 7, 8, 9 percent of the people in Gaza are Sunni Muslims. Are they our friends? Do you think they're our friends when they come to Europe? I get it. We're not talking about the little kids who are getting blown up by incendiary devices. That's a terrible, terrible thing.

[00:23:01] But I'm just saying these are not our friends either. The Muslims have never been friends of Europe. And if you think you can form an alliance with these people that don't share our race or our culture or religion or anything like that, and just because the Jews are blowing them up, I don't know about that. What we need to do is get our own house in order. When they come to Europe, they're not our friends. When they're stabbing people in Germany and running people over and bombing people. The thing is, I don't really care what's happening on the other side of the world as much as I care about what's happening here.

[00:23:31] We need to get our own house in order before we can start preaching or being a role model for anyone else. You know, J.D. Vance did a great thing by going over there and basically calling a spade a dirty shovel to the Davos-type elites that populate these Western European nations and calling them out. But really what I'm interested in more than anything else is what happens here.

[00:23:57] I want to see us really make some progress in defeating the left. And we are. And we're going to talk about – I mean, the left has almost been obliterated here, at least for now. Well, that's because they found the money. Money is what makes the mayor go for the left. If you get in the way of their access to money, they're going to shrivel up and die. Well, we will talk more about some good things that have been in the news in the next half hour of this hour.

[00:24:26] Then we're going to go live to CPAC. Scoop has been there all weekend rubbing elbows with all the folks. And he'll report live, Sonny Thomas, third hour, Paul Kersey. And one more thing about the Arabs, these people. I mean, their IQ is like 85. All right? They call them sand people for a reason. I mean, they're barely – they've got a lot more in common with the people of Sub-Zarana than they do us, I think. We'll be right back. Protecting your liberties.

[00:24:53] You're listening to Liberty News Radio. News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Jason Walker. Israel says the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners now delayed, quote, until the release of the next hostages has been assured and without the humiliating ceremonies at handovers of Israeli captives in Gaza.

[00:25:20] President Trump has high praise for Elon Musk's cost-cutting work at Doge. He's doing a great job, and he doesn't need this. He doesn't need it. But he wants to see – you know, he's a patriot. People say, well, what official position does he have? I said, patriot. He's a patriot. Oh, they didn't know. They said that was good. He's a patriot.

[00:25:42] Also at townhall.com, Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton warning that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could have a drastic impact on the U.S. and entire global economies. For instance, Taiwan is the world's leading producer of semiconductors, which power modern electronic digital economy. Everything from weapons to smartphones to appliances to televisions to vehicles, anything electronic and digital, really.

[00:26:12] Senator Cotton details many of his concerns about China in a new book entitled Seven Things You Can't Say About China. Five people, including prominent Democratic political operatives in Connecticut's largest city, have been charged with tampering with absentee ballots during the 2023 local election. Very sad day. Two police officers in Virginia Beach, Virginia, have been shot and killed during a traffic stop. That was late last night.

[00:26:42] And a hospital shooting today in York, Pennsylvania. One police officer is dead there. And police conducting a welfare check in Indiana found the bodies of five people in a house.

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.

[00:28:10] Lends for simply being black. Hard to believe, but that's what was done. And some people still want to do that. This is why National Conservative launched the Interracial Homicide Tracking Project. We have now documented well over 2,000 confirmed interracial homicides since January 2023 and created the most comprehensive overview of these killings anyone has ever made. We plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government crime stats.

[00:28:39] Rather than engaging in hyperbole and vitriolic rhetoric like everyone else, we are simply creating a massive sample size of empirical evidence so people can form rational and informed opinions about a sensitive and politically charged issue.

[00:30:00] Let me tell you about Ahab, the Arab, the sheik of the burning sands. He had emuls and rubies just dripping off of him and a ring on every finger of his hand. He wore a big old turban wrapped around his head and a scimitar by his side. And every evening about midnight, he'd jump on his camel named Clyde and ride. Well, that's Ray Stevens. Maybe some of you have heard of that guy.

[00:30:28] And let me just reiterate, I don't think you need me to explain this to you, but the first half hour was certainly not pro-Jewish commentary. It's just that I'm not pro these other guys either. It is, I mean, you remember Tours in Vienna? I mean, they have not, they are incompatible with white Western European civilization. They are our existential enemy. They both are. They both are. So, and again, you know, we don't... Let them have attitude with each other.

[00:30:55] Well, and again, because the Arabs have, you know, about 85 IQ on average, and the Jews have all of America's money and weaponry and a little bit smarter. Probably about 115 IQ. They can do a little bit more damage. But, I mean, you know, none of us wring our hands over what happened to the Incas or the Mayans or the Aztecs. Frankly, the people who did that are heroes to us. Are the Palestinians and the Jews particularly concerned with liberating any of us? No. No, and that's the thing.

[00:31:23] So, anyway, I wanted to say all that about Gaza and how my thoughts are settling on Trump. And that's pretty much where it is. Now, let's talk about some of the news. I mean, and don't go anywhere for the rest of the night or for the rest of the spring. When we get into spring, March around the world coming up for the next five weeks after tonight is going to be a wild ride. So much is happening. And how are the actions of the United States over the course of the days since January 20th

[00:31:52] washing up on the shores outside of America? We'll find out. And the Confederate History Month is always big time in April. But tonight you've got Scoop Stanton live from CPAC coming up next. Paul Kersey, Sonny Thomas in between. It's a good mix. Now, let's talk about some of the things that are going on just out of Washington since the last show. We're going to move as quickly as we can on some of these things. The U.S. Army announcing it will no longer accept transgender individuals in the military.

[00:32:20] It's going to stop all so-called gender reassignment procedures. And how about this? If the Jews are behind this, you know, I'm okay with it. President Trump is cutting thousands of IRS employees for The New York Times. And what's interesting about this is that this comes just a day after Elon Musk announced that Doge had begun their audit of the IRS. And you know how that started? Elon Musk put a poll on Twitter saying, do you want Doge to audit the IRS?

[00:32:49] The poll came back overwhelmingly in favor of that. And the next day he was in their building. And Trump is, you know, cutting thousands of heads off of that snake. And so Trump's quoting Napoleon now. He said, he who saves his country does not violate any law. And boy, is he not acting like Napoleon, leaving Zelensky on the shore while he and Putin meet in the middle of the river? We're so used to being used, we don't even recognize we're being used. The Zelensky is using us.

[00:33:18] The Ukrainians are using us. The Jews are using us. The Palestinians are using us. The Germans are using us. All sorts of people. I'm okay with that one, maybe. Well, I mean, the German people, not the German government. Let's let ourselves, you know, he's our president, not theirs. Let him work his magic here first because heaven knows we need it. Well, so, I mean, of course, as you know, Trump and Putin haven't met yet, but they're going to. And a United States delegation has met with the delegation of Russia.

[00:33:46] Putin, excuse me, Zelensky was not even invited to the thing. And then Trump is calling, I mean, the thing, a total 180. And he thought he was going to run it. If there was anything more opposite than a 180 degree turn, they would have done it on this Ukrainian policy towards Zelensky. I mean, Trump is basically just praising Putin and. Well, he's doing it because that's in America's best interest. What are we doing? We're financing Zelensky, who is basically just.

[00:34:15] And he's he admits that he doesn't know where half of the money that went to him is. It can account for it. It is a bloodbath in Washington for the left leaning bureaucracy. Listen to this report that people in D.C. are catatonic. This is the apocalypse for them. This is nothing like 2017, a month into Trump's first term. Nothing like it. Never gone after this.

[00:34:39] But thank God, by God's grace, in my opinion, that Trump lost and came back as this person who was scorned. Because this this one fact is just incredible to try to fathom. Wrap your mind around this. Since Doge began these massive layoffs.

[00:35:00] Now, remember, you've got these 20 year old right wingers hired by Musk that are giving these lifelong bureaucrats like 90 seconds to justify their position before. They get fired. It's just like it's like a coming up before a Roman emperor and getting the thumbs up or thumb down sign on the on the spot. But since Doge began these mass layoffs, the median. Now, again, tonight's February the 22nd. Trump got inaugurated on January the 20th. So you do the math.

[00:35:27] But since Doge began these mass layoffs, the median home price in Washington, D.C. has fallen by one hundred thirty nine thousand dollars in 30 days. Nearly four thousand homes have been listed for sale in and around Washington, D.C. Roughly. Listen to this. This is draining the swamp. Roughly two hundred and seventy five thousand federal workers have lost their jobs this week. Now, that's that that's ten percent of the federal workforce. They may turn Virginia back into a red state.

[00:35:53] It could be the effect because, I mean, it's it's relatively close, even even under the current circumstances. Seventy five thousand took the buyout. But two hundred thousand were probationary workers who have been let go. So this is again, this is the total bloodbath. This is, you know, I understand what he's going to do is take some of those people that have gun training, supposed to be budding IRS agents, send them down to the border.

[00:36:20] Well, one thing that they're floating now is abolishing the IRS entirely. And another thing they're talking about doing is taking all this money they're saving and giving 20 percent of it to the people. Exactly. So you remember all the Gibbs everybody got, friend and foe alike, taxpayer and degenerate alike during the covid era.

[00:36:45] Everybody got those stimulus deposits in their in their bank, which drove up in inflation wildly. Well, now they're talking about taking the money they're just saving by firing, you know, but cutting all this fat and left wing nonsense out of government and firing all these people and giving it back to the American people. I mean, wouldn't you like to wake up one morning and at their expense have a couple of extra thousand dollars? Five thousand is a figure I've heard floating. You know, that's the way we're doing stuff for America.

[00:37:13] We shouldn't be giving five thousand per person to Zelensky or to Hamas or to Netanyahu. I would love to know somebody do the math on this. If you divide the money, the billions and billions and countless billions of dollars given to Zelensky in the last four years, if you divide that amongst every American actual taxpayer.

[00:37:39] I'm talking about welfare bums and DEI moms and stay at home black moms and all that. If you divide that money to the American taxpayer, it'd be interesting to see how much everybody would get. But as the way things stand today, anywhere between three and 10 percent of federal employees have been fired.

[00:37:56] And if you look at the sheer number of diversity and anti-racism grift jobs that the Obama and Biden administrations created to reward these progressive activists with fake jobs in Washington. I mean, you just see them. There was a whole list. I think I saw an Occidental dissent. I mean, it just ran forever. Every agency has all of these different DEI. Remember, Stacey Abrams was one of those. The Americans that went to Davos.

[00:38:22] You know, can you think of a less worthy individual, an unmerited person to receive all of this attention? Well, that's what the left does. They get your money and give it to a sow like Stacey Abrams, a dumb sow at that. So, you know, why in the world are we, you know, this is just what we need. We need to get the American people who elected Trump need to get a reward.

[00:38:50] And also the people, American people that tried their best to sabotage him and send him to prison for life. They need to get their just reward, too. Folks, by the way, be sure to go to OccidentalDissent.com. We get a great deal of our information from there every week. And Brad is just good. He is a real talent at just finding these things and document them. And it's just a good one-stop show.

[00:39:19] Well, he's a great commentator in his own right. There's no doubt about that. One of my favorite guests and a great friend, a great personal friend. But I just love how he compiles all this stuff. It's just a one-stop, easy-to-find thing. But another thing that he does, I mean, you look at the culture, how the culture has changed. And it's just as he writes there, a beautiful sight to watch it come crashing down.

[00:39:43] The Washington Post writes, a team of workers from Doge developed a step-by-step plan for carrying out Donald Trump's order to purge diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives from the federal government. And over the next six months, intends to expand that campaign dramatically. So basically they're saying you ain't seen nothing yet. And, Keith, we have to imagine and we have to remember this. It's only been 30 days.

[00:40:09] It's extrapolate this by 12 months, by two to four years. If it keeps up at this pace, it will be a phenomenon that's never been seen in the world before. And we need to really go after the left. We need to put a stake in their heart, end them. And the way to end them, as they've shown, you know, the thing they howl the loudest about is when you find out one of their money pits and dry it up like USAID.

[00:40:37] Another thing there at OD, just how the culture is shifting. It is a true cultural shift. Trump now being cheered at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift was booed. The national anthem being booed in Canada. Nine fights breaking, excuse me, three fights breaking out in the first nine seconds of that international hockey competition. I mean, it is becoming a culture that, at least for the last 30 days, has become much more aggressive and nationalist. Marx is our sworn enemy of Western civilization.

[00:41:04] Karl Marx crafted his communist ideology with the genocidal goal of destroying the European peoples. Key concepts of communism are atheism and materialism, that God and spirit do not exist. Germany was smashed at the end of World War II, and communism emerged triumphant. By controlling the political system, courts, mass media, educational system, and entertainment industries, Marxists have imposed a tyrannical, top-down agenda of globalism and immoralization on the West. The results are open borders, rampant crime, institutionalized corruption, sexual perversion,

[00:41:34] the destruction of the middle class, concentration of wealth, aimless youth with no purpose in life, and the hollowing out of Christianity. But Kyle McDermott's book, The Declaration of White Independence, demonstrates how we can unshackle our people from the communist ideology and obliterate atheism and materialism.

[00:43:08] Well, welcome back. I will remind you one more time to stay tuned. The whole show tonight, Scoop Stanton coming on at the top of the next hour from CPAC, live from the floor with his beautiful press credentials. And what has he seen the last two or three days? I've seen some pictures. I've seen some videos. I've seen some text messages. We're going to get a full report here in just a few minutes.

[00:43:35] Sonny Thomas, our good friend at Resolution Radio, will be helping us sort through some news items as well. And then in the third hour, your good friend and mine, Paul Kersey, taking the spot that we normally give to Antelope Hill Publishing the last hour of every month. Actually, this is still their hour. But they have delegated it to Paul Kersey because they have taken not just one or two, but I think three of his books now and saved them from deplatforming.

[00:44:04] So Antelope Hill and Paul Kersey are now one in the same. Well, I mean, not exactly, but they do work together. So it's not like they gave it up to Paul Kersey. Paul Kersey is helping them with the sale of their books. Exactly. He is representing them in their hour tonight, the last hour of every month. We like to team up with Antelope Hill. Taylor Young and the crew there. And tonight's book, we will be talking about Escape from New York. They have saved it from deplatforming.

[00:44:32] And that's one of the things Antelope Hill is great about doing. They take books that they have a lot of new books, new material, new authors. I remember that movie, Escape from New York. Remember that? Well, this is Escape from Detroit. But I think it's certainly the same thing. But anyway, they also save some books and bring them back into, they reprint them and give them a new lease on life. And they've done that with three of Paul's books. And he's just a great guy, great commentator, great author, and wrote the book about Selma. And don't we all love to talk about Selma?

[00:45:01] Well, he's got a whole series of books. He's got one about the Queen City, which is, I think, Birmingham. And then he has one on Detroit. He needs to do one on Memphis. We need to encourage him to look down here. And we'll be glad to help him. In fact, we can take him on a ride that will be scarier than any roller coaster he's ever been on. And that'll be... I don't know. I mean, he's been to Selma. He's been to all these places for research for his books.

[00:45:28] But Memphis is number one murder capital for nothing. So, you know... Per capita. Well, actually, and even more than New York, which is many, many, many times the population of Memphis. But that's another topic of conversation. Yeah, we'll ask Paul his take on Memphis versus Birmingham. There's one death by shooting or, you know, gang activity per day. And there's one death because of reckless driving per day. So, you know, I tell you what, we've got all the bases covered here in Memphis. Yeah, that's for sure.

[00:45:58] We're number one. All right. We'll get to all of that. I'm just saying don't go anywhere and then march around the world and Confederate History Month the next two months. We are busy, busy, busy. So much going on. And we'll cover it all as fast as we can. I want to go back to Trump and Putin and Zelensky. I mean, this was a huge, huge, huge development just again this week. And, I mean, Trump has absolutely brutalized Zelensky in the press.

[00:46:27] I mean, he has embarrassed him. And he writes this in one article that I pulled from. I've been watching Zelensky for years and I've been watching him negotiate with no cards. He has no cards and you get sick of him. So I don't think he's very important to be at meetings, to be honest with you. He makes it very hard to make deals. So here's Donald Trump talking about the end of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.

[00:46:55] And he's not even letting the Ukrainian, the guy who's been stalled as the Ukrainian president. Well, he's like the labor leader where they asked him, what does he want out of life? And he says more. That's why he wants more American money, American money that he can't even account for half of it. Right. So all that looks like, I mean, certainly I don't think he's going to be getting any more money. But it doesn't look like he's even going to be able to get a seat at the table to negotiate his own surrender.

[00:47:20] Look, the rest of Europe can fund him or finance him if they want to. But when it comes to putting money down on the table, all of a sudden, you know, the crowd gets pretty thin over there in Europe. We're going to be talking. Look, everybody's used to spending our money, and that needs to stop. And Trump is the only president I've seen, and this includes Ronald Reagan during my lifetime. Especially Reagan.

[00:47:47] That, you know, really is doing that, making the people of the United States, particularly the conservative founding stock people of America, his primary focus. Well, this is another reason I'm especially excited about March Around the World this year. The next five weeks of programming is because for better and almost exclusively worse throughout the last 100 years at least,

[00:48:14] Europe has followed America's lead on a lot of things. And it'll be interesting to see, especially after J.D. Vance going over there and basically wrapping all of them on the nose. I mean, Sam Dixon sent me this incredible email where I think the secretary of this conference that J.D. Vance was at, this grown man was up there crying. Yeah, I've seen that. He started crying after J.D. Vance spoke. He started blubbering. I mean, these little feminine feet. He was laughing at Trump a couple of months ago, and now he's crying.

[00:48:43] Well, and Vance, say what you will. Okay, he's got an Indian wife. But, I mean, he's going over there and doing good work. And he, I mean, this guy was crying. And it's going to be interesting when we talk to our European guests over the course of the next month to see what, you know, if they think that this is going to reverberate to such an extent that Europe takes a cultural shift to the right. Well, yeah. Especially with regards to speech and immigration and censorship and secure borders and things like that.

[00:49:11] Well, you know, we talked with that guy that was at the Ameren conference a couple of years ago, and he admitted that in Europe they're interested in the Estonians versus the Letts or the Latvians. Well, that was Ruben Caleb. I love Ruben. Yeah. Yeah. But on the other hand, we've got to get that focus away. That's just too small bore. What we need is to get white people versus non-whites. That's the way we see it in America, and that's the way it really is because, you know,

[00:49:40] a Muslim terrorist doesn't see a Lett or a Latvian or an Estonian or a person from Liechtenstein. What they see is a white person. We are the enemy. You know, if you think that you can say, oh, I'm a Swede, don't do anything to me. I mean, that will be your last words. So consequently, we need to get people to see reality.

[00:50:05] I think it was Robert Burns that said the greatest gift the gods can give us is to see ourselves as others see us. They see you as white. They don't see you as a Swede, as a Norwegian, as a Lettbian or whatever, okay? And because of that, you know, we need to understand who the two sides are. We need to know what our uniform is. A couple of other quick hits before we run out of time this hour. And again, if you're tuning in late, listen to the first 30 minutes.

[00:50:32] I really wanted to address where my position on Trump has settled after a month and after looking at the pro and con arguments throughout our spectrum of guests and all people that I admire and respect and certainly our brothers, even the ones that disagree with me on this. That's okay. We'll close ranks on the other issues. And you're welcome in my foxhole. And I prefer you and I hope I'm welcome in yours. But I am favorable about the things that are happening out of Washington. And with regard to Gaza, I said some things that I haven't really heard anybody else say.

[00:51:04] There's been more progress made in the last 30 days than it's been made in the last 30 or 40 years. Oh, yeah. Well, here's another one. Military cuts. So this is, you know, a big concern was all this is being done to get white Gentiles back into war mode. Right. And to be sure, with this uptick in patriotism or nationalism or whatever you want to call it, there has been a big boom. Netanyahu is rubbing his hands in glee.

[00:51:29] A big, well, I don't know about that, but there's a big uptick in military recruitment of predominantly white males, obviously. Just don't fight foreign workers. But. Get down on the border and protect us. Here is the situation. There are military cuts coming. Eight percent every year for the next five years. That's a 40 percent reduction in military budget over the course of basically Trump's current term. So that doesn't sound like particularly a government or a nation that's gearing up for a wide war.

[00:51:59] Well, we need to shut down these bases we have all over the place. We're not. Nobody in America, except for Jewish neocons, are interested in being the global hegemon. We basically, like Trump said, we're protected by two large boats called the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. He said a beautiful ocean. Yeah. Beautiful ocean. Yeah, I was turning him into my more precise comment. But basically, there was no reason for us to get involved in any foreign war.

[00:52:27] World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War. That was just profligate waste of American money to serve the interests of people that want to be the global hegemon, the head of one world government. And that's not Joey Joan down in red state America. Here is the New York Times very quickly on these military budget cuts.

[00:52:48] Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered senior military and defense department officials to draw up plans to cut 8 percent from the defense budget over each year of the next five years. He said in a memo issued on Tuesday that a number of branches within the military and Pentagon should turn in budget-cutting proposals by next Monday. One exception would be military operations at the southern border. So, again, this does not sound like a nation that's getting ready to go to war in Iran for Israel. And I'll tell you one more thing. IRS.

[00:53:18] This is Howard Lutnick, a Jew. Okay? But if he can do this, I don't know who's been running the IRS these last few years. Jew, Gentile, black, white, whatever. This is the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, saying that Trump's goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service. If that happens, if that happens, that would be one of the biggest blows for freedom in this country ever. And don't forget the next thing that they've talked about abolishing, which is the Department of Education.

[00:53:45] That's where all the Brown versus Board of Education poison was funneled into our public education system, taking us from being one of the top public education systems in the world to one of the worst. Again, Brad Griffin jokingly. Brad's tuned in tonight, by the way. I got a text from him in the last segment. Hello, Brad. We love you. Brad saying jokingly, if the Jews are behind all of these things we're talking about, then he's becoming a little less anti-Semitic every day. They're letting this go on. At some point, they're going to put the brakes on.

[00:54:15] And I think Netanyahu knows where the brakes are. Still very much. Listen, nothing has changed with regard to who they are and their evolutionary behavior. Priorities. I get it, but I'm just saying good things are happening right now. Period. Period. Don't stop it. Don't stop the feeling. Well, we'll see what Scoop's take is from CPAC. He was in the room today with the president and yesterday with Elon Musk. I heard Elon Musk had a chainsaw there.

[00:54:44] We'll find out. We'll find out. Stay tuned. ?". We'll find out. Thank you.
