[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.
[00:00:28] Ladies and gentlemen, TPC's March Around the World advances this evening. Now the third of five weeks into this special series, we'll be spending the first hour in Germany with our dear friend and comrade, Sascha Rossmuller, a journalist, a political activist, and an author. He's working on a new book, an exciting project we'll tell you about this hour.
[00:00:57] And, of course, Sascha's a lot more than that as well. He is going to be with us this hour to discuss the current situation in Germany. He is in Bavaria, no less, that land of great castles, fantastic beer, and the fairytale countryside. Sascha's a real prince. Sascha, how are you doing tonight, brother? As always, when I have the huge honor being at The Political Cesspool, I couldn't feel better.
[00:01:25] Well, until we are gathered unto our fathers, my friend, for as long as we are doing this show, and for however many more years we do this March Around the World series, I never want to do it without you. So you have been a mainstay since we started this. And now this special series doesn't go as far back as the show does, but we've been doing it for a handful of years now. And I just really enjoy it, and it's wonderful. And Germany is just one of those countries that, of all the nations that make up Western civilization
[00:01:51] and our people throughout Europe and the world, Germany is just one that fascinates our people, you know, for a lot of different reasons. And so it's great to be checking in with you for an hour tonight. We'll let Keith say hello, and then we're going to get to work. Yeah, just wanted to say this. We have the utmost respect for the German people. You know, they were fragmented until the Franco-Prussian War, and they became a nation at that time, and then they just rose to the head of the class.
[00:02:16] They were the top dogs in continental Europe, and quite frankly, Britain and France just couldn't come to terms with the new reality. They both thought they were transported back to 1815, and it was right after the Battle of Waterloo. And that's where all the problems came from World War I and II. And, you know, we've studied the history, and it's obvious that the leaders of Germany did not want to fight either France or Britain. But, you know.
[00:02:44] Well, that is the history, and now we'll move to the present and the future. And, well, Sasha, let's just begin right there, talking about elections and regimes and all of that. You just had an election that a lot of people around the world were focused on very intently. What were the recent election results in Germany? Yes, it was not a regular election.
[00:03:08] It was a snap election on the very short term. And that was also one of the causes my party was not running in that election, because we have the situation here that the conservative right, the populist AFD,
[00:03:30] is in a very strong, not strong enough, but nevertheless a very strong, relatively strong development. And given the difficult conditions created by a snap election called at short notice, and we are the only system of opposition party operating nationwide,
[00:03:54] having been excluded from state party funding, which means the reimbursement of election campaigns. So effective campaigning would have been considerably more difficult under these circumstances of distorted competition. And we decided to focus, maybe we will, in course of this show, discuss that, our otherwise alternative strategies we focused on,
[00:04:22] and observed nevertheless with a huge interest the outcome of this election. And I see it, it's a coin with its typical flip side. On the one hand, we have seen that the opposition party, which is the only party in parliament which deserves the name of a more or less opposition,
[00:04:52] which is the AFD, could nationwide double its results. Nevertheless, keyword firewall or cordon sanitaire, it was not enough, not strong enough to have a chance participating in a government coalition.
[00:05:11] And unfortunately, the AFD didn't reach a crucial threshold of 25%. It was a little bit more than 20%, but the 25% would have given the possibility for parliamentary inquiry committees.
[00:05:34] For example, regarding the pandemic management and such things. So in the end, we see that the center party will have slightly won the election. The center party will build a coalition with the party of the former chancellor of the Social Democrats.
[00:06:01] So Olaf Scholz now is called Friedrich Merz, the BlackRock chancellor, and nothing will change. And the new parliament didn't constitute yet, and they made something which I would describe as a scandal of historic dimensions.
[00:06:26] They called the old parliament with the many, many parliamentarians, which have been voted out, for example, of the Social Democrats, or for example, of the Green Party,
[00:06:45] in order to decide regarding a huge program of debt policy. So unfortunately, despite this doubling of the votes of the AFD in practical terms, nothing will change in German policy.
[00:07:12] Maybe it will even become worse, given the fact that the prospective next chancellor, Friedrich Scholz, is a huge warmonger. Sasha, this is Keith Alexander. Let me ask you this. You call this a snap election. In other words, it kind of caught you off guard. If your party is able to go at full strength, fully prepared in the next election,
[00:07:42] will they and the AFD have any chance of being a majority? Well, let's just clear this up very quickly, because I know if anybody, certainly many of our regular listeners will remember Sasha's previous appearance, but if you're listening to Sasha for the first time, you're a new listener, just to be clear, I think there is perhaps a slight misconception, Sasha. They're not necessarily wrong, but that the AFD is the party that everybody in Germany should be supporting if they think like us or share some of our concerns. You are of a party that is a little bit more hard,
[00:08:11] a little bit more, for lack of a better phrasing, to the right of the AFD. So explain the difference there, and how, if they came in second place, a strong second place, how they're being locked out of the government. Yes, the party I belong to is, to be honest, is regarding power politics marginalized. In ideological terms, the party I'm a member of,
[00:08:41] and I'm a member of the executive board, is an ethno-identitarian party, which focuses much more on ethnicity than the AFD does, and which has also not such a, in some terms the AFD, in particular in the Western part, there are some career politicians, which promote a liberalist, in economic terms, a liberalist style,
[00:09:10] which we have some differences also in that regard. And to respond to Keith, in regard of elections, there is no chance currently for us to win in this huge nationwide election. So my party has to concentrate on media work, on networking,
[00:09:38] on alternative media, on magazines, newspapers, and on local elections in municipalities, or in elections in regional terms, in combination with other groups, we can coalesce with. On a nationwide scale, currently, it's, if there is a party, which is right, politically right, so to say,
[00:10:07] from the center, it's the AFD. However, to go on with the question you asked me, James, even if the AFD reached the second place, we had the keyword firewall, Le Cordon Sanitaire, and that's the huge problem, that they, not at all,
[00:10:35] will allow the AFD to be part of a government, at how the things currently stand. Nevertheless, however, we see that this is a huge, huge problem for the prospective next chancellor, because he has, he has only one, only one chance, and that is, to, to make a coalition with the,
[00:11:05] with the social democrats, or with, with some of the parties, left from the center. We have, maybe I have to, further explain the audience, that since the days of Angela Merkel, one should not have a misconception, of the center, in regard of Germany. With Angela Merkel, the, the center, did a, a, a huge shift, to, to the left. And,
[00:11:35] and maybe, for a better understanding, one can describe, that the, the AFD of today, is more or less, what the center party, the Christian Democrats, had been 30 or 40, years ago. So, kind of like, Nigel Farage's party, in Britain, the AFD, as compared to your party? Good question. You, you, you can compare it, like, parties, as it is,
[00:12:04] from Orbán, or Nigel Farage's reform party, or, Rassemblement National, in, in, in, in France. Well, Sasha, pardon this interruption, but I, I think Keith had an interesting question, and so much, and I'd like to just add to it, very quickly, in that Nigel Farage, said that his goal, with the UKIP, in the early 2000s, was to, take down Nick Griffin, and the BNP. So, I mean, he has said, in no uncertain terms, very directly, that his goal, was to,
[00:12:33] extinguish, true nationalistic alternatives, in, in Great Britain. So, again, is the AFD better than that? Or not? I think the AFD can't afford, that rhetoric, due to the fact that, his, the AFD's, most successful strongholds, in the eastern part of Germany, define, those branches, define themselves, as,
[00:13:04] politics, politicians from the right, not from the conservative. And so, if, if they would, some in the west, maybe, maybe think in that terms. However, they, they can't afford that rhetoric, because there is, there's also a difference, in whole Germany, and also, I think, within the AFD, a difference between, some officials, in the western part of Germany, and in the eastern, in the eastern part of Germany. But, allow me please, one sentence,
[00:13:34] as an explanation, regarding the situation, of the, the government building, in progress now. under Friedrich Merz, from the, the center party, we will see that, or we have seen it, with this, special, parliaments, that has been, called, of the, the outvoted parliament, for, deciding this huge, indebtedness, that the tail is wagging the dog,
[00:14:04] by tying himself, to the, social democratic, election loser. So, the future Chancellor Merz, keyword, firewall, by, by sticking, to the firewall, allows the junior partner, who has lost, the election, to hold the senior partner, of the coalition, hostage. And, according to my opinion, that's for a Chancellor, the best way, to become a lame duck, from the very beginning. So,
[00:14:34] alone, from this point of view, we know what we have to expect. Okay. Okay. So, this leads me to another question, that I wanted to get to. Now, again, give us the name of your party again, Sasha, so people can, look it up on their own time. It's, the Heimat, translated as much as, the homeland, in English. And it's, the, the party, Nomenklatura, is a, a rebranding, from, 2023. 2023. It's, mostly known from his,
[00:15:03] former name, the National Democratic Party, Germany, the MPD. Since 2023, it's called, the Heimat. Okay. So, that is the party, to which Sasha belongs. He is a member, of their executive board. It is an ethno-nationalist, identitarian party. So, I'm going to ask you this, going back to the consequences. So, that is, you know, we know, that the media, makes out, some parties, to be, you know, the extreme right, as they, you know, would fashion them, as being. And it's not always true.
[00:15:33] But I would ask you this, with regard to the AFD, how will they rise, to meet any challenges? Are there any good, for people who share, our unique concerns, on this radio program, your unique concerns, will there be any good, that comes from the AFD, having this very strong finish, even if they are not, identitarian, or ethno-nationalist, or do they represent, something that will be, better for Germany, than what has existed there, for the past, many years, decades even. To put it in a nutshell,
[00:16:02] will it be a situation, where the more things change, the more they stay the same? Currently, it will work out, unfortunately, that the, things will stay the same. Nevertheless, there, the AFD, has, more power, for pressure, for pressuring, the government now. And as I, as I described before, that they, would have needed, five percent more,
[00:16:32] for a parliamentary, inquiry committees. In, there have been, in the recent months, also some, federal elections, in federal states, in the, in the eastern part, of Germany. And there, the AFD, has, is, most successful strongholds, and there, they, they skipped over, this threshold. So, for example, in the parliament of Saxonia, there, there will be installed, such a,
[00:17:01] a, parliamentary inquiry, regarding, the pandemic management, for example. So, the, the, the success of the AFD, is a, it will, because of, that firewall, it will be, a red pilling moment, because people, witness, that, they don't receive, what they have voted for. People voted for, a center,
[00:17:31] right, government, here, in Germany. The people voted, it, the strongest party, was the, the center party, and, and, on the second place, it was the AFD. And, what they, they will get, is a coalition, of the center party, with, the, former chancellor's party, which, was, devastated, in, in this election. And that's, the first place, the first place finisher,
[00:18:00] and, anyone other than, the second place finisher, get to form a coalition government, but the second place finisher, the AFD, doesn't really get to be involved. Now, that doesn't sound very fair, does it Keith? Yeah, they don't, I was going to ask, go ahead. They don't cooperate, cooperate, in, in any terms, with the AFD. And, and, the people saw, for example, we had it in, in, we had elections in, in Brandenburg, in Thuringia, and in Saxonia, in the federal states, where they, nearly could win, and, the, the,
[00:18:30] elections, and in one federal state, they have won, like in Austria, the, the FPA, the AFD, had won the election, and, nevertheless, are in the opposition role. And, that's a red-pilling moment, for a lot of people, regarding, the quality, or the, the non-quality, of the, of, of democracy, which is more a, democreature, or a democracy, here in Germany. And,
[00:19:00] and given the fact that they, nevertheless, have doubled their votes, they can, they can make, more pressure. And that's a, a situation, in, in, to being effective, in, in, in, in politicizing, a, a society. And, I think that's a process, we will, we will witness. And,
[00:19:30] even if I'm not, a member of the AFD, but from a more, ethno-identitarian party, it's, of course, of, of huge interest. Because in Germany, in, in, in, in huge parts, the, the tipping point, in demographic terms, is already reached. And, and there are changes, urgently needed. And the AFD is now, perhaps, in its most decisive phase. And it's understandable, that the AFD is trying to gain, government responsibility.
[00:20:00] And this opportunity, could, the next month, or year, or two years itself, present in so far, as it is not unlikely, that the new coalition, will not be, sustainable, due to having, numerous, breaking points. However, in that situation, the AFD, must not forget, that the establishment, was voted out of office. What do I want to say, with that? I mean,
[00:20:31] AFD voters, voted for a change, in policy, and did not, I want to pronounce that, did not wait, a vote for adaptation. So it would, therefore, be a huge, strategic mistake, in my eyes, to enter into a coalition, with the Center Party, under the leadership, of Friedrich Merz, the firewall, chairman, of the Center Party, provided, a failure, of the next coalition.
[00:21:01] the, the, it would then be better, given, provided, the coalition will fail, it would then be better, to become, even stronger, by letting, the establishment, crash for the mer, furthermore, or, to change, the country, or, to force, the Center Party, if, their coalition, will not be sustainable, to force, the Center Party, and the pressure, from the grassroots,
[00:21:31] of the Center Party, to, exchange, their leadership, to make this, as a prerequisite, for a coalition, when the coalition, with the, the established parties, fails. For example, we have seen, the phenomenon, of Donald Trump, was completely, changing, the, Republican Party, from a neocon, liberalist party, to a MAGA party, and, they, had,
[00:22:01] outstretched, the hand, and then, as a response, they got, they received, the cordon sanitaire. If now, the Center Party, and the Social Democrats, will fail, then, they should not, jump into the bed, with the Center Party, they should make, rather, to pressure, to the Center Party, exchanging, their, leadership. Because, we have to see, that within, the Center Party, there is also, a division,
[00:22:30] between the officials, in the high, in the high ranking officials, of the leadership, and the grassroots members, of that Center Party. A huge part, of the, of the, in the basis, of the, of the Center Party, would, would prefer, a coalition, with the AFD, instead, of the Social Democrats. And that's a change, which is very important, and that's, I think, a very good example, gave us in Austria,
[00:23:00] Herbert Kickl, who not, at any cost, made a coalition, with the Center Party, if, if it was, only for the favor, of the establishment. And that, that was, the, the, the, the, the Freedom Party, of Austria, made, in the history, the mistake, just, to being a coalition partner, a junior partner, giving,
[00:23:30] giving up positions, or, being confident, with, ministries, which are, less important, and, and Kickl, Kickl made it, he had won the, the election, he said, no, then, make your failure, you will be responsible, for the failure, you will have, to, report, before the nation, if, if you crash, if you run against the wall, and that, I think, that's, is maybe, in that terms, the AFD,
[00:23:59] is in its most decisive phase, and the, they shouldn't make the mistake, if, social Democrats, that's, the center party fail, to say, okay, we have been waiting for that, now you can, misuse, us, to say it, in, in, in that terms, it should make, pressure, because, the voters, voted for a change, and not, for adaptation, Sasha, you, indeed, what a,
[00:24:29] I mean, you stuck the landing, on that one brother, coming in, to a halt, on your commentary, right as the music, picked up, when we come back, don't go anywhere, we are only halfway through, this trip to Germany, with Sasha Ross, we're going to talk, a little bit more, about the elections, a lot more, about what's going on, in Europe, and Sasha's thoughts, on Trump, stay tuned.

Republican governors, and lawmakers across the country, had accused, then President Joe Biden, of failing to enforce, federal immigration law, and manage the southern border.

[00:30:09] Ladies and gentlemen, we are halfway through, our march around the world tonight. Still two weeks to go, and a lot of stops still to make. We have been all over the map, so far. More than, half a dozen nations, and I think, we're up to, three or four continents now. I think four. We're going to hit five, I think, before it's all over. We are going to go, later tonight, to Ireland, with Jim Dawson. Also later, in the third hour, with Remy Tremblay, in Canada. Back to Canada, but to French Canada,
[00:30:39] so it's a little different, than where we were at, two weeks ago, with Paul Fromm. We actually had a, South African farmer, who was scheduled to be on the program tonight, but his farm got damaged overnight, so we're going to have to reschedule that. But, nevertheless, I marveled, during the first half hour tonight, with Sasha Rasmuller, the level of analysis, that he's delivering, on what's going on in Germany, particularly with regards to the election, and the fact that he's doing it in English, Keith. I'd like to see us, speak German that well, although I have been there, and I was there, and it is postcard beautiful.
[00:31:08] I was there, on this little town on the Rhine, where Martin Luther was tried, so many, now centuries ago. But, nevertheless, Sasha, one more very quick question, on the elections, and then we've got to get to, topics pertaining to broader Europe, and your thoughts on Trump, and your recent projects, your forthcoming book. But I've got a two-part question. I'll ask the first part, and then Keith's going to ask the second part. But the question is this, and we'll move as quickly as we can. With regard to the AFD,
[00:31:39] leaving out what we, things that we wish they were doing, what are they doing, that the establishment is so upset about, that they are freezing them out of the coalition. Keith, you ask the second part of the question. Well, the second part is, I have the impression, I think a lot of people over here, have the impression, that the main issue, that was driving the success of the AFD, in this last election, was immigration. Is there any prospect, under the current government,
[00:32:08] of there being a change, in immigration policy in Germany? Yeah, the main topic, is immigration, here in Germany. And that's why, we have, on the one side, we have the, from the parliamentary, represented parties, we have the AFD, which wants to stop, the immigration, and has also started,
[00:32:38] to talk about, the indeed, urgent remigration. And all the others, are the welcome, the welcome, cosmopolitan, multicultural, melting pot, gender, lunacy, climate, hallucinatory, representatives. And, despite, as in many other countries, facing a housing crisis, and round about, half a million homeless people,
[00:33:08] mostly Germans, we suffer, uncontrolled, more immigration. And since, 2015, if we take, that year, when Angela Merkel, opened, the border, we, Germany has been sliding, even further, and even faster, down the slippery slope, of uncontrolled, asylum immigration. And it have been around, nearly three million, asylum applications, submitted since then, almost exclusively, by asylum seekers, who had previously, crossed the border, irregularly. Do you think,
[00:33:38] the AFD, and I don't mean, to interrupt you, my friend, but I do want to move on, to some of your thoughts, on broader Europe, but with regard to immigration, do you think the AFD, if they could, would help on that issue? Would they repatriate, like Trump is doing, or would they just try, to slow down immigration? No, I think, if they would have, if they would be in the government, or if they would have, their respective weight, in a government, then I think, they would be, they would be serious, in that point. However,
[00:34:08] let me come shortly, to one, pretty controversial point. I think, that from a German, ethno-identitarian perspective, where in many regions, the demographic tipping point, has nearly been reached, we are at the point, maybe, rethinking, even, even, state unity, to preserve, the ethnic continuity, East Germany, I mean, the territory,
[00:34:38] of the former, German Democratic Republic, would therefore, be well, well advised, to pull, pull the ripcord, if nothing changes, the next years, in face of the great, replacement. It's very controversial, talking about the secession, maybe not, to southerners, like you. However, I see it, that sign, that if you, if you remember, the slogan of 1989, when the wall, was teared down, the slogan was, we are, the fork.
[00:35:08] And I think, with the same slogan, we are, the fork, maybe, in some years, if no change, will, take part, we have to, discuss, even, the, the, the, the, reversal, of the reunification, and at the beginning, of this show, Keith, mentioned it, for long stretches, of its history, the German nation, has also, lacked state unity, and was a patchwork, of small, principalities, but it was, nevertheless,
[00:35:38] able, precisely, in that, during that time, to blossom, making Germany, that was, is known as, a kulturnation, the cultural nation, so maybe, if there, won't be any change, within the next, four, five, or at least, ten years, it is crucial, to concentrate, on the essentials, and that is not, the form of the state, but the folks, who run the state. All right, back to the future. Yeah, I hope so, I hope so, especially, for Germany. Now,
[00:36:08] because I think, if the people think, they're voting the right way, this is something, Nick Griffin always talks, about the people, people think they're voting right, and there are, I'm sure, things that are better, about the AFD, than some of these alternatives, even if they're not, you know, as good as the party, that you involve yourself in, and we'll talk a little bit more, about that, before the end of the hour, but we do need to, pick up the pace a little bit, I am so glad though, that you provided, that comprehensive analysis, of what has been going on, in these elections, which again, all the eyes of the world, our world,
[00:36:38] at least, our universe, was on Germany, very recently, as a result of these, these elections, the AFD, and Elon Musk, and all of that, the way the media, treats them, I mean of course, I don't get too, excited about the way, the media, refers to people, who are, you know, a millimeter right of center, of Joe Stalin, and I'm not saying, that the AFD, isn't a lot more than that, but everybody, a millimeter to the right of Stalin, is a neo-Nazi, and a extremist, so I don't get, too high or too low, on those terms, but I appreciate you, Sasha, for coming on,
[00:37:08] and giving us the real deal, and just nailing it tonight, in that commentary, so let's, let's talk, again, I want to give you time, to plug your book, the work you're doing, with the Homeland Political Party, there at the very end of the hour, and we've got a lot of stuff, to cover before we get there, and time is beginning, to run out, let's talk about, well let's just talk about this, Germany, Brussels, of course, Brussels is where the EU, is located, also our friends, Philip de Winter,
[00:37:37] and Anka Vandemers, they're in Brussels, but Brussels, stands on Ukraine, and Syria, you wanted to talk about that, yes, we see, we see huge, differences, in, right now, while for example, the United States, and Russia, already sitting at the table, negotiating, Brussels, and Berlin, are still, mobilizing, both on, on credit, with debt policy,
[00:38:07] for example, the EU commission, wants to mobilize, 800 billion euros, by granting military loans, to member states, which can also be used, for arms purchases, for the Ukraine, and, to this end, how could it be otherwise, the so-called, European Investment Union, is to be driven forward, with other words, the EU's deep integration, continues, to force upon us, as Winston Churchill, once said, never let a good crisis, go wise, and as it is well known, Germany knows,
[00:38:37] how to add, to any EU madness, the outgoing parliament, organized, a special session, at short notice, for the purpose, of adopting special funds, new debts, that will allow, the government, to become, even more, indebted, so, Germany and Europe, are running up debts, in the Brussels, typically, whatever it takes, tradition, while the USA, does the business, to cut, long story short, debt for Germany, raw materials, for the USA,
[00:39:07] and last but not least, it's, from the perspective, or from the perspective, of the Europeans, and propaganda, in, according to my opinion, that lacks, credibility, credibility, on the one hand, they don't get illegal, and clan criminal, asylum seekers, out of German, and European cities, but on the other hand, they hallucinate, about being able, to drive the Russians, out of eastern Ukraine, and with the current, queer rainbow armies, here in Europe, that's, absolutely, absolutely,
[00:39:37] ridiculous, however, that's a point, which will not, work out, what, what, what I fear most, is, that, that, that we will see, that, after the Trump victory, George Soros, and a lot of NGOs, are refocusing, more and more, on Europe, and we see, a lot of regime change, operations in Europe, they, since long, they try to,
[00:40:06] to work against, Orbán in Hungary, however, if we see, what's going on, in Serbia, or if we see, what's going on, in, it began before, in Asia, in Georgia, if we see, what's going on, with protests, in Slovakia, or if we see, in Romania, that Carlin, Georgescu, is not allowed, to run, as the winner, in the first round, for the presidential election, and if I'm, informed correctly, they also decided, Diana, so, I hope,
[00:40:35] I didn't butcher, her name, they didn't allow, her, to, to run, as well, I was talking, to a, a parliamentarian, of the, Romanian parliament, to, comrade, Tudor, a few days ago, what's going on, here, is, is really, that, that's really, really, problematic, they, they, they, they, they try, at all costs, to hold,
[00:41:05] to hold, at least, Europe, on this, on this, post-modern, left-liberalist, woke insanity, and, and, try to, let that, look like, some grassroots, protests, but, on the contrary, there, how do you call it, in, in, in, in, in English terms, as, it's, astroturfed, astroturfed,
[00:41:36] projects, of, NGOs, so-called, non-governmental, organizations, fully subsidized, by governments. Yeah, drop the N, it's just governmental, organizations, what do you think, about Trump, moving the troops, out of Germany, to Hungary, US troops? We, we, we will see, how, how it, how it, will work, will work out, regarding that, for, for example, I, I was discussing, with this Romanian,
[00:42:06] parliamentarian, if, if maybe, one cause, that they don't, want to allow, uh, uh, Carlin Georgesco, to run, is, because, uh, due to the fact, that, there are, in the last years, many, many, uh, military bases, of the USA, in Romania. So, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not sure, how, how everything, there will work out. I think, that will, that will depend, uh, largely depend, on, on the negotiations, around Ukraine, how,
[00:42:36] uh, Trump administration, will decide, decide its military, uh, policy. If it will make, a focus on, uh, doing business, in eastern parts of Europe, or, or having the focus, on, on, uh, more, on, military policy, I, I lack the, the, the crystal ball for this, uh, of course, peace in Europe, carries, in my opinion, enormous weight.
[00:43:05] What long, what role long-term, uh, conflict preparations, with China, and, or, Iran, may play in this, in, in, in that concern, remains, uh, remains to be seen. Uh, it, it would, of course, devalue a peace agreement, agreement in Europe, if otherwise, Trump would contribute to, uh, conflicts, uh, in, in other regions, or igniting a powder gag in the Arab world, uh, resulting in refugee flows to Europe then. So,
[00:43:34] I think it's a little bit, uh, it's a little bit, uh, too early for a final, uh, Uh, nevertheless, uh, I hope, that, uh, Trump and Putin will come to terms, uh, to end that war that is ongoing. Uh, here in Europe. All right, this, this is a perfect segue into something I wanted to ask you. And in asking you this next question, uh, I actually don't know as, as, as well as we know one another,
[00:44:03] we actually haven't talked about this yet, uh, off the air or through our text messaging or, or whatever. So I'll be interested to see where you go with this, but, uh, your answer will be coming from that of a German nationalist. And not just a nationalist, but a German nationalist. And, uh, I, I think, uh, German nationalists and Southern nationalists are the two most hated, of all nationalists. Uh, uh, I, I mean, you know, we have something in common with Germany and, uh, being, uh, portrayed as history's great villains. And it's, uh, of course, none of it true. Although Germany gets it much,
[00:44:33] much worse than we do. Uh, we, you still see Confederate flags dotting, uh, all of the Southland, uh, on a daily basis, particularly the rural areas where as, you know, people like Sasha, unfortunately would be going to prison if they didn't recite the catechism of world war two history as it has been taught to us. So your opinion on this, Sasha, I mean, we've been asking everybody this that's come on since Trump's inauguration about it, but I, I'm particularly interested to hear your thoughts on, on Trump, uh, and how you would, uh,
[00:45:02] assess and grade his administration through these first couple of months. Um, it's a perfect example that actions speak louder than words. And, uh, I appreciate his anti-woke agenda. I think he has learned from this first term and, uh, from this experiences, uh, with the lawfare against him. And I appreciate ending gender lunacy, including mutilations of minors. And, uh,
[00:45:32] I really appreciate, uh, his, uh, department of government, uh, efficiency. And, uh, I closely, uh, observed, his, uh, address in the Congress. And that was, uh, very, very professional, uh, choreographed. That was really, uh, that was really an, an, pressing event. And he, it was, uh, it was part two of his, uh,
[00:46:00] after this assassination attempt, it, it was part two of his, uh, program fight, fight, fight. Uh, he, he really, uh, he really spoke hard against, the Democrats. That's, that's very interesting. And, uh, I think, uh, why, uh, people not just, uh, voted for Trump and, and, uh, provided him that landslide, uh, victory,
[00:46:27] but I think that they are still backing him is, you don't hear long explanations from Trump with references to these and those constraints as to why something can't be done. He takes action and simply, and simply does it. And that's a point interesting to learn also for us, uh, what's, uh, to, to realize what's the expectation of the people.
[00:46:57] The people want to see results. They want, don't, they don't want to have, uh, explanations regarding, uh, uh, at the administration, the issues and red tape. And a second point from the overall, uh, perspective is that, uh, which gives, gives hope is that, uh, Trump is a proof that the turnaround is possible. So that are, uh, a few, uh,
[00:47:29] relevant points of, of, and aspects of, of relevance that are, that are quite, uh, interesting. Nevertheless, there is also a flip side of the, of the coin, uh, which me, uh, upsets, uh, which is the, it's a, an, in, in times, it's an unbelievable, uh, philo, Semitic, uh, attitude. And, uh, the problem with this is that I fear if he, as I've said,
[00:47:59] if he, he, it's, it's important. I'm here in Europe. I don't want to have a war here in Europe. So it's, it's, it's, it really weighs a lot, uh, to, to become, uh, an end to that war. However, igniting a powder gag in the Arab world, uh, what does it mean? The, the consequences of that would be, resulting in refugee flows to Europe. And, uh, the, yeah, for example, the Gaza expulsion for maybe, I don't know, Jared Kushner's Middle East real estate dreams or whatever.
[00:48:29] And, uh, or, uh, what's going on in, in, we will see how, uh, the administration will behave in, in, in Syria. Well, you, yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead. I just want to be sure to give you time with the hour beginning to really, uh, disappear now to give you time to, uh, to, to, to work in a word of your book. But I, I think what you've said, I mean, yes, what you've said has been, I, I think the overall take of about 80% of, um, the people that we regularly are in contact with and,
[00:48:56] and almost a hundred percent of the people we've actually had on the show since January. Uh, there is a vocal minority of our friends who, you know, can't see any good that Trump is doing, but I, I certainly, your assessment falls certainly a parallel and congruent to the way Keith and I see it. Uh, we are giving him praise. There are some concerns there. What we have said about this really is like, if you're trying to launch a career as a boxer, you don't want your first battle to be with Mike Tyson.
[00:49:27] Okay. So, well, give him a pass. Paul Craig Roberts also has said that Keith is that, you know, he wants to get done what he can get done. He wouldn't have gotten done anything if he had battled, you know, who right out of the gate, he would have just been regulated to the sidelines. And that would have been that. So Sasha, again, going back to what I said before to hear you, uh, praising Trump with that one exception that we all know. And we all see, uh, coming from a German nationalist, uh, from, uh,
[00:49:56] the former, uh, NPD, uh, from now the Homeland, uh, party is, um, that, that, that carries weight with me. Now let's talk about this very quickly. You are a journalist. You are a politically active journalist. Now all of the so-called journalists here in America are politically active too. They just pretend that they're a journalist. Uh, you actually say you're politically active, uh, but you're active on the right side, which certainly separates you from them. And, uh, you have been engaged in politics of, uh, since you were old enough to, to drive.
[00:50:26] And, uh, perhaps even before that, you were on the executive board of the Homeland, uh, political party there in Germany. You write for a wonderful print magazine that I've had the honor of being, uh, featured in. And, um, you are working on a new book. So with two or three minutes remaining, the floor is yours, my friend. Plug that book. What is this project? And, uh, what's it going to cover and how can people, uh, get it when it, when it, when it is available? First of all, this, this magazine has developed. It has merged with another magazine.
[00:50:56] It's not the Deutsche Stimme. It's now Aufgewacht, Awaken, and a German voice. We have made progress by a merging process. And, indeed, I'm, I'm working on a book. Uh, it will be, uh, I will try to, uh, publish it in a bilingual, German and English version. And it's, uh, I write, uh, regarding the Occidental culture with perspective of its identity forming potential. And it will be also a little bit of, uh,
[00:51:27] personal. It's, it, uh, the aim of the book is to give the reader or young nationalists, and not always, uh, having a view in our history on the, on the battles and on the wars and on the bloodshed, but on, on the aesthetics of the Occidental history. And to make, to, to, to wrap up, to give an overview, be it in literature, be it in music, be it, you know, be it in architecture, be it in, in, in, in painting or in sculptures from the,
[00:51:56] the early ancient times, from the Hellenic and then the Roman, and then, uh, do the, the, the Gothic, the Baroque, the, the Romance time, the, the, the classical times, realism, impersonalism. And to give an overview, always from the perspective of the ethno-nationalist with, uh, comprising all Europe to, uh, compare the, the, this, this ages and, and, and different, uh, different artworks and, and,
[00:52:26] to tell the people, uh, what was similar between, uh, German and English painters in that time. And, and, and, and in one part of this book also to explain it on my favorites from the, from some epochs or from some literature of some paintings, what are my favorites and why are they, that are my favorites and why I think, uh, what, uh, why they are very important for identity forming and what's the,
[00:52:53] what's the variety of our occidental culture for Europe and what are the, the common roots of this, uh, culture. We can find, uh, we can find in that, uh, all, uh, framed with, uh, with some, uh, elaborations, uh, in a, in a philosophical term of, uh, what, uh, should be, what, what, what's the effectiveness of, of, uh, uh, how to understand or, or, or why, uh,
[00:53:22] aesthetics are important. And I think that hasn't been written yet in, in, in, in, area and ranks such an historical overview from all our, from all of our, uh, culture, from, uh, especially in particular focusing, uh, uh, the, the combination of aesthetics and identity. And that's what I, uh, have made, uh, is the target of the book. And I think within the,
[00:53:52] uh, the next two or three months I will have the, the German version and immediately then I will take the translation works for the English version. Coming very soon, folks. And when this book is available in English, uh, we will, uh, let you know all about it. In the meantime, go to the political accessible.org. If you click on the promo for tonight's, uh, live broadcast, you can, uh, click over to Sasha's Twitter account or X and, and follow him. And please do do that. Sasha, you were always an incredible guest. I think this is your best appearance yet. You,
[00:54:21] you just get like a fine German wine, uh, just better every year. And I thank you for staying up late in Bavaria 1 a.m. Now we're going to head back to, uh, more Western Europe. we're going to go to Ireland with Jim Dawson next, uh, where it's still just midnight, but Sasha, thank you so much. And we'll talk to you again very soon. Best of luck to you with the book and we'll be here to help you promote it. Thank you for inviting me and keep on fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. We'll be right back to do just that.
