[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.
[00:01:11] Ladies and gentlemen, it is Holy Weekend 2025. Yesterday was Good Friday. Tomorrow, the day where the Christian world commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And here we are right in the middle of it on a Saturday, Saturday evening, April the 19th, that weekend each year when Confederate History Month and Easter intersects. And Easter is an interesting holiday. Not only is it not on the same day every year, sometimes it's not even in the same month. Last year was in March, but tonight here we are.
[00:01:40] And I'm James Edwards, along with Keith Alexander. Confederate History Month will resume in the second hour tonight when John Hill, our good friend, the closest living descendant of Confederate Lieutenant General A.P. Hill, returns to the program to discuss Confederate history and update us on the good work he does with the A.P. Hill Legacy Foundation. In the third hour, as we do every year, the last Saturday before Christmas and Easter, Pastor Brett McAtee of Christ the King Reformed Church in Charlotte, Michigan,
[00:02:08] will be delivering his annual message documenting the resurrection of Christ. But first, and I hate to do this, I hate to do this especially on Easter weekend, but we have set aside the first hour to offer you some disturbing updates on the murder of Austin Metcalf. Of course, we talked about that at length last week, and a lot has happened since then. And, well, as I said, unfortunately, even on Easter weekend, we do need to cover this.
[00:02:38] So John Hill, who's going to be our guest in the second hour, as I just mentioned, he has posted on his Telegram essentially a pretty succinct recap. John Hill writes, Carmelo Anthony was at a school he didn't go to and sat under a tent with people that he didn't know. When asked to leave the tent, he says, touch me and see what happens, all while going through his bag to grab a knife. Austin Metcalf, by all accounts, felt that that was a threat,
[00:03:03] and to protect everyone under the tent, he moves forward towards Carmelo to move him out of the tent, and he is stabbed in the chest. Carmelo Anthony then throws the knife and runs. Austin was just trying to avoid a bad situation and protect the people under the tent. Carmelo just wanted to start trouble, which is obvious by all of the witness statements that we have seen so far, because even when he was caught, the officer said, I have the alleged suspect, and Carmelo said, I'm not alleged. I did it.
[00:03:32] Like he was bragging, like he was even proud. And if you think that Carmelo is innocent, you are exactly what is wrong with this country. That's a comment from John Hill, and that basically recaps a lot of what we talked about last week. Now the updates are, well, pretty plentiful. We'll start with this. The family of Carmelo Anthony has now raised $490,000 as of this morning. It could be slightly higher.
[00:03:56] So just round it up to half a million dollars for this murderer, for the self-confessed murderer. Yes, he has not been convicted in a court of law yet. The way things are going, he might not be. Well, he might not be. But, I mean, we know he did it, okay? This isn't alleged. He confessed. All right, he has confessed. Self-confessed murderer. That's what we'll call him. But because he killed a white person, he is able to raise half a million dollars in, what, two weeks? They hate us. His family has moved into a brand new mansion.
[00:04:26] Okay, so there's that. So, now this was purportedly money being raised for his legal defense. But since then, his family has moved into a million-dollar mansion in a gated community. They bought a brand new Escalade, and rumor has it that Carmelo bought him a new pair of kicks, a new pair of sneakers.
[00:04:46] Anthony Cumia on social media wrote that my dad had a word for this type of rich, which is funny and true. But so all of this is disturbing, and all of this, this is, I think, the biggest update since last week. And, Keith, you called this on the radio last Saturday. And I said, immediately after you said, I said, no, no, that's not going to happen.
[00:05:13] And that's even after all these years now, me, a quarter of a century into this. But don't argue with an attorney, an officer of the court. When it comes to matters of the court, he has more experience in his profession than I do. But you said that he was going to be released. And sure enough, sure enough, a black female judge named Angela Tucker reduced his bond and released him from jail into house arrest.
[00:05:43] That, Jason Kessler reports, is sickening. He is out. Now, have you ever heard that on a murder one charge? It would be very rare. I may have heard it once or twice in my career, but they'd be in extremely extenuating circumstances. It would certainly not be somebody who has self-confessed to the crime of first-degree murder. Okay. So he is out, and he is free, and his family is raking in the dough.
[00:06:12] This is, they've won a lottery, so to speak, and by all accounts. It would be a great tragedy and a great horrendous situation if a white person did this to a black person or even to another white person. But for, if there's no better proof of the reality of black privilege than this, kill somebody and it is a great windfall. Yes.
[00:06:42] Yes, yes. Not only is the justice system going to bend to you, and by the way, this is the new and expanded, ever-evolving definition of justice now. Justice now is to be able to just walk into a tent, kill a white man, a white boy, a young man, and make some money, and don't be troubled with having to even think about going to prison. I mean, surely he will be convicted, but I say that much more tenuously after last week when I was certain he wouldn't be released.
[00:07:11] Well, look at, you know, the, what's the guy's name in California, the football player, what was his name? I'm drawing a blank. I don't know. There's a lot of them. Yeah, well, anyway, the guy that killed his white wife. Oh, O.J. Simpson. Oh, come on. Yeah. Yeah, O.J. Simpson. Look at O.J. Simpson. Well, there you go. Exactly. See, that's it. There you go. Anybody with any sense knew that he did it.
[00:07:41] Well, you know, it was all about the venue in that case, and they moved it out of Brentwood, which was the all-white suburb that O.J. Simpson actually lived in where the murder actually occurred, and they moved it to inner city Los Angeles and got a jury of his peers. Well, I said at the time, if you'll recall, James, that I said, I think you did, okay, that we were together back then. But anyway, I said that Gilgar Stetti basically— I mean, we weren't on the air, obviously, when O.J. committed the murders, but we have talked about it since then.
[00:08:10] Yes, I said he has assured that O.J. will not be convicted. You have said this on the air before. And I said, you know, plus, he put a couple of cub lawyer prosecutors on the job when he should have gotten the most experienced, most proficient prosecutor ever. It doesn't matter who the prosecutors were in that case. I mean, that was a dead-to-rights case. There was no doubt about it, and it just all came down to racism. It was right after the Rodney King stuff. It came to venue. It was— It came to venue, and it came to jury.
[00:08:40] And I tell you, and you say, well, and I say, I say, he's going to get—surely he'll get convicted. But if you put a majority black jury in there, anything goes. In fact, and if it's a majority black jury, I would bet he does not get convicted. Yeah, well, not only that, the white—it's not also a matter of the intense hatred that blacks bear towards whites.
[00:09:03] It's also the extreme cowardice that whites that get picked for these juries demonstrate to the whole world when they go up against the blacks. That's right. Right, so if you've got, you know, eight blacks on the jury, four whites, I mean, they're going to get cowed almost certainly, especially if they're women. But a lot of men, too, would cow in the face of this. And we saw his father did. Look what his father did. We're going to get to that in a second. Let's not get too far ahead. That's the whole thing. See, even the boy's father couldn't stand up for it. Not only that, it's even worse than that.
[00:09:33] I'll get to that. That's another update that happened just today. But, I mean, you've had some racially charged cases even in the last few years where white said, I just, you know, I was afraid for my life. I was afraid that something would happen to my family if I didn't vote this way on this particular case. And, yeah, if you squint now, you can see it because we certainly know what side the judge is on. Now you now know why Abraham Lincoln said that he was not for blacks serving on juries.
[00:09:58] So we were questioning the statute last week with regards to the murder one charge and what the age of being considered an adult is in Texas. And we want to thank our listener, Will, in Texas, who sent us in an email. He sent it in last week when we were covering it live, but I didn't see it until after the show, so I want to read it now. Very straight to the point explanation.
[00:10:20] James, the Texas Code of Criminal Procedures defines an adult as a person who is 17 years of age at the time the crime was committed. Therefore, the offender in this case is a black man. He is considered, Carmelo Anthony is considered a black man no matter how much he's going to be portrayed as a high school teenager in the press. Also, murder in Texas is, well, we'll get back to this when we come back.
[00:10:45] I do hear the music faintly in my ear, and we're going to take a break, and we'll be back, and we'll pick up on the statute there and what this could potentially portend as this thing goes forward. And yes, Keith, an update on a rally in Texas today that the Father was at. God has promised in Luke 1025 that we should gather together to worship him. This isn't a request. It is a command. Going to church isn't an option. It is your Christian duty.
[00:11:11] With the hellish apostasy of mainstream churches, attending church these days can be difficult. That is why your King James only traditional services in the ancient church of St. Mary Magdalene are live online. And I invite you to gather with our congregation to study God's Holy Word. Join us every Sunday at thetemplarchurch.com and especially on the first Sunday of the month for Holy Communion.
[00:11:37] This do in remembrance of me is also a command that all Christians must obey. I am Reverend Jim Dowson, ordained Puritan minister, nationalist, and a veteran pro-life campaigner. Tune in to my weekly sermons at thetemplarchurch.com. Based in Ireland, this old-time religion is the faith that built America. God bless you. Why don't we say to the government writ large that they have to spend a little bit less?
[00:12:07] Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last? Anybody ever having a 1% pay cut? You deal with it. That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut. If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief. But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible. Who are they? Republicans. Who are they? Democrats. Who are they? Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money.
[00:12:37] So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere. The money will be added to the debt, and there will be a day of reckoning. What's the day of reckoning? The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market. The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar. When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency.
[00:13:12] I will tell you folks, every song that we feature tonight, these old gospel hymns, I can sing them all from heart.
[00:13:57] And I do. It was a wonderful boyhood, that experience. Every Sunday, I knew we were going to be in church. Give a shout out to your pastor. That's right. Brother David, we love you. And growing up in that small Southern Baptist congregation, we sang these songs. And listen, I know not everybody who's a supporter of this radio program or a listener or whatever shares the faith. Some of you are capital C Christians. Some of you are lowercase c Christians.
[00:14:24] But, you know, for non-believing white nationalists who complain about the failings of the church, I understand. Frankly, I understand this better than you do, I assure you. So this, of course, goes back to when the Southern Baptist Convention called my pastor and said that he needed to expel me as a member. And then when he refused, they... Expelled the whole church. Expelled the whole church. They sure did. And the church stood by me and he stood by me. And I've known my pastors since I was a baby.
[00:14:51] I mean, you know, before I was old enough to even know who I was. That was a true inspiration. He certainly let you know how important the love of Christ was to him and how he's not going to throw one of the members of his church under a bus for political violence. I asked him to. I don't want to get into this too much. I actually had intended to spend the entire hour on matters of faith because it is Easter weekend, this first hour. That was the intention.
[00:15:20] But diversity has once again disrupted life. And so we have to cover this other thing, and we will. Well, so I'm going to intersperse these things. But I even asked pastor when he said that this pressure was coming down. I said, you know, pastor, he'd been on the radio show several times. He knew everything about me, of course. They were about the SPLC. All of that. And he didn't waver. I just said, I even asked him to. I said, pastor, you can just do it. They need you to do. And I won't think anything of it. That's not your cross to bear. And he said, James, I'm not going to do it.
[00:15:52] But because it's not the right thing to do. He said, I love you. But that's not the reason I'm doing this. I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do. And, you know, the SBC, the Southern Baptist Convention, these other evangelical churches, of course, are dying because they alienate men who are the natural spiritual leaders. And they have some spineless leadership. All right. We're going to get to that. But let me just say this. They alienate men who are the natural spiritual leaders of families.
[00:16:17] The church today, with its cucking on race and feminism and immigration, demands that the saving grace of Christ comes attached at the hip with this sick suicide cult of woke and feminized leaders. And you have to ask if it even qualifies as gospel when any sane person must reject the suicidal package offered by many modern churches. I think R.L.
[00:16:39] Dabney said it at his time, essentially, that he pointed out that any reasonable person would reject such ridiculous practice of religion out of hand, meaning that the very best people would be alienated from Christianity. So as Christians, you know, we certainly hope that there is some measure of extraordinary grace at work today for the reasonable unbeliever, the disproportionately nonreligious conservative white who supports Trump can't but look at the church and gag.
[00:17:05] And so just as we need our political establishment to be destroyed by an outsider, so too much must the Christian religious establishment. So we wait for that charismatic and forceful advocate of traditional Christianity to drive the cucks out of the pulpits and out of the seminaries and out of the denominational headquarters. But I will say this very quickly, and we have to move on and keep the response to this, and then we've got to get back to this situation in Texas.
[00:17:28] But if you go to faithinheritage.com, they have a big three article, big three articles there on the right-hand column. A biblical account of ethno-nationalism, who does America belong to, and the reality of race. Those are the titles of the three articles, all written from a white and Christian nationalist perspective at faithinheritage.com. Well, what we have is apostates in the pulpit. That's, you know, the problem.
[00:17:57] Basically, being a pastor is a great job for somebody like Obama, a community organizer. He wants to make a good salary. He wants to be free to apply his left-wing trade and get paid for it. Well, that's the people that have captured the leadership of so many churches.
[00:18:17] And this is both mainstream Protestants, you know, the Seven Sisters of the Mainline, as they used to call them, and the evangelical churches. Now, I'm sad to say, it used to be that we thought the evangelicals were going to save us. Instead, they've all basically exchanged the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John for the Gospels of Peter, Paul, and Mary. And that's what you get. And that is awfully thin soup.
[00:18:45] And people basically aren't willing to rouse themselves out of bed on Sunday to go hear a bunch of that tripe. And I can sympathize with them. But what you have to do is find a good church, and they're hard to do. I know that James, you know, he had to go all over the place, and so did I, to find a church compatible with our upbringing that actually did preach the gospel. We're going to run out of time.
[00:19:12] But, yes, I mean, I had a great church my whole life, well into my marriage and my 30s, and my pastor ended up having a stroke and then retired, and then that church disbanded. But I was there my whole life, and now we kind of bounce around a little bit. But there are some great online fellowships. Pastor McAtee has a brick-and-mortar church, of course, but we'll be talking to him in the third hour. But you can also hear his message online. Of course, Reverend Jim Dowson with the— Over in Northern Ireland. Yeah, that's right.
[00:19:41] Also, great message there. On the Internet and— Pro-white, pro-Christian, pro-family. Anyway, we've got to get back to this. Let me just say this about the racial issue. The last word on the racial issue is the Tower of Babel. God did not want the Tower of Babel to succeed, and that's why he brought it down.
[00:19:59] Trying to homogenize all the people in the world and basically be in control of them and say that they all need to be the same is contrary to God's will. Just read that passage in the Bible. Well, that, again, a biblical defense of ethnonationalism at faithinarritage.com. It really, for me, sells the message. But so, again, will in Texas, going back to where we were 10 minutes ago.
[00:20:25] The Texas Criminal Procedures defines an adult as a person who is 17 years of age at the time the crime was committed. So, therefore, Carmelo Anthony, in the eyes of the state of Texas, is considered a black man, no matter how much he is portrayed as a high school teenager. Also, murder in Texas is codified in the Texas Penal Code 19.02. The elements of murder in Texas are defined as a person who commits an offense if the person is, one, intentionally or knowingly causing the death of an individual.
[00:20:55] So, the penalty for murder in Texas is five to 99 years imprisonment. The death penalty only applies to capital murder. This black man has been charged with the murder of a white boy. So, you are considered a minor in Texas unless you're a murderer, unless you're under suspicion for murder or have been charged with murder. Then they will try you as an adult. But Austin Metcalfe is considered a minor in Texas, if I'm reading this correctly. And because his intentions were to kill, because that's his nature.
[00:21:25] Thank you, Will. If they do not convict him of murder and if they do not give him the death penalty, they're basically left in the default position of, if you want to make a million dollars, buy a mansion, get all sorts of goodies, and basically increase your lifestyle radically, go out there and kill a white person. Well, that will be, I think, the message that is sent, either directly or indirectly.
[00:21:51] But that is going to be the message that I think a lot of blacks are going to deliver. Hey, it worked out really nice for Carmelo. Did y'all see those shoes he was wearing? And all we got to do is go out and kill one of these white kids? You know, sign me up. I mean, they really don't have to have much incentive to do it anyway. Incentivizing it is really going to make it bad. But so there was a rally today in Texas. So we were just there two weeks ago, of course. Two weeks ago tonight I was there.
[00:22:20] And John, our good friend, has been keeping me posted. He has his ear and eyes on the ground there, right there in the Dallas area. And it says here, several people were arrested at a Protect White Americans protest in Frisco, Texas, after a counter-protester used pepper spray. Pale shades of Charlottesville, because you had the Antifa there, too, protesting against Austin or for Carmelo, however you wanted to find it. But listen to this. Listen to this.
[00:22:48] So the pro-white rally was organized by someone named Jake Lang. I'm going to give you a little more information on him in just a moment. But Jake Lang is his name. And he spoke to Austin Metcalfe's father, Jeff Metcalfe. And Austin's father told the organizer of a rally on behalf of his own son, you are part of the effing problem. I want no part of the racial divide.
[00:23:16] That is the father of the victim telling the man who actually had the guts, this young man who had the guts to go out and try to do something proactive to raise awareness about the situation. And his father is attacking him. And then he shows up at the press conference for Carmelo Anthony this week, and they throw him out like in two seconds flat. I mean, why didn't he just go there and start trying to raise money for Carmelo? Why didn't he just sell his house and give it to Carmelo's family to buy cars and things with? But you're part of the effing problem because you're trying.
[00:23:46] That is something. And I don't want any part of the racial divide. That's what you're worried about? Your kid just got killed because of integration, because of busing, because of Brown versus Board of Education. And you're upset at this guy that's trying to do something for your son, to honor your son? Mr. Metcalfe, the father of Austin, is a big part of the problem. When you can't stand up for your own flesh and blood,
[00:24:08] when you kiss the posterior of the group that basically thinks that they can kill people like your son with impunity, and you have no sense of solidarity with the people that basically are doing the job you should have done as a father and stood up to this, then, you know, you have forfeited your right to be called Austin Metcalfe's father. It is good politics.
[00:24:35] Somebody wrote to be respectful to the family of the deceased, no matter how outlandish they are. I agree. I know that in my heart. I know. But at the same time, it is good politics. But what they are saying is true. He is weak and maybe contributed to his son's death.
[00:25:19] We've got to think about it. We'll reciprocate any genuine ceasefire by Russia. But he's voicing skepticism after President Vladimir Putin today announced a temporary Easter truce starting today. The announcement from Kiev comes as Moscow and Ukraine have conducted a huge prisoner exchange. President Trump is vowing not to cut Medicare and Medicaid programs. Here's Ken Lorman.
[00:25:45] At Friday's swearing-in of Dr. Mehmet Oz as the Medicare and Medicaid Administrator, the president made this promise about those government health care programs. Just as I promised, there will be no cuts. We're not going to have any cuts. We're going to have only help. Despite those assurances, a dozen House Republicans have sent a letter to GOP leaders warning they will not sign the upcoming budget and tax cuts bill if Medicaid is sharply reduced.
[00:26:13] First, Ken Lormond, Washington. Also at townhall.com, as Congress debates tax policy, polling shows Americans believe making the 20% small business tax deduction permanent would be a core part of any legislation. A new poll by the National Federation of Independent Business shows broad bipartisan support for keeping a 20% small business tax deduction in the tax code. Jeff Brabant, NFIB vice president of federal government relations, tells the Sailor Radio Network that this tax cut would help the economy.
[00:26:43] There would be an increase in GDP of $750 billion over the first 10 years. So, huge economic impact if this thing is extended. Brabant says the bill has a good chance of passage in both chambers. Bernie Bennett in Washington. More on these stories at townhall.com.

[00:28:59] It is common for politicians, major media outlets, and non-profits to hype white on black murders aggressively. Or even claim that blacks are living in fear of white people. 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.
[00:29:28] 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. 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.

[00:30:15] Always really like that one.
[00:31:08] See, now we went to this small little Southern Baptist church. My pastor was the pastor. My pastor, I mean, what a guy. Every time... How many people were in your church? If everybody showed up, maybe 60. Okay. And so pastor was the pastor. He was also the music director. His wife played the piano. So we didn't go to one of these churches like they have now where everything's a rock and roll smoke show. There's, you know, smoke and, you know, stadium lights and all these things you would see at a concert. It was just a piano. Joel Osteen would not feel comfortable there.
[00:31:36] And it was... But we didn't sing out of the hymnal. We sang out of a bulletin. So when I would get to church every day with my parents and my brother, and I would know, you know, I would open up the bulletin and see what we're going to be singing that morning. And, you know, sometimes I'd be like, you know, come on, pastor. You can do better than this. But if that song, if He Lives was in there, I always perked up. There was a lot of the songs. All the songs we're going to play tonight are the songs I grew up singing. But anyway, pastor, what a guy. I mean, not just for the reasons we mentioned in the previous segment.
[00:32:04] Every time somebody in my family was sick or died, he officiated the funeral. He introduced me to my wife. He officiated our wedding. He was at the hospital every time I had a kid. Let me say this. Everything, every time. As bad an example of fatherhood as Austin Metcalfe's father is, your pastor was on the opposite end that good of an example of what a Christian pastor ought to be. Well, if everybody had had that experience,
[00:32:31] I think Christianity would have a much better reputation within our ranks. But speaking of Easter, I've got to go through this quick. But there were two messages proclaiming Easter that were sent out this week. Well, I'm sure more than that. But the two will focus on one from King Charles and one from President Trump. Here's what King Charles said in his proclamation.
[00:32:55] The love Jesus showed when he walked the earth reflected the Jewish ethic of caring for the stranger and those in need. A deep human instinct echoed in Islam and in the hearts of all who seek the good of others. That was King Charles' message. Show me the Islamic guy that has something good to say about Christians like that. And what the Jewish guy. But President Trump, on the other hand. And, well, now I have to find it.
[00:33:25] I know I just emailed it out. Let me pull this up. See, this is what happens when you're live. I thought I had this pulled up. I got so many tabs open here. President Trump, in his message this week, said, This holy week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of heaven.
[00:33:50] Now that is something that even a true Southern Baptist couldn't have improved upon. And to highlight the contrast, I was emailing with a group of friends this morning about these things. On Easter of 2024, so Easter a year ago, Biden's handlers or whoever was writing Biden's statements said nothing about the resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, but instead released a statement proclaiming Transvisibility Day on Easter.
[00:34:19] On Easter. Celebrating homosexuality, in other words. They could have done it any day of the year, but they chose Easter to designate as Transvisibility Day. Adrian Davis, another friend, the British barrister, of course, wrote to me in an email today, Dear James, you perfectly illustrate why I like Trump better than many movement hardliners. He does say and does some, even many, good things, whereas the Democratic Party is expletive insane.
[00:34:49] Trump is surely better than Carmela and Charles. So anyway, interesting. Look, and I don't believe that Trump necessarily wrote that, but it was released under his name, and I prefer it. Well, let me tell you, I give him the benefit of the doubt. Prince Charles is really a weak actor in that he's the reason why. And he probably didn't write his either, but I'm just saying.
[00:35:15] But the royalty in England, if that's who is in charge of the royalty, if that's who's in charge of the Church of England, heaven help them. All right. So let's get into this. John, our friend down in Texas, this whole thing, talking about the Austin Metcalf, Carmela Anthony situation, the murder, has been just another ratcheting up of racial tensions, kind of like George Floyd was, and is pushing whites into coming to the realization that we cannot live together.
[00:35:43] I agree that this is certainly the biggest racial issue since Floyd, and it's certainly on par with Floyd and Trayvon Martin and so many of the others going back, Michael Brown and others. Dylan Roof even. But this rally that we were talking about that was held was put on by someone named Jake Lang. Never heard of him before this week. Now, one of his detractors, or maybe perhaps even many of his detractors on social media,
[00:36:10] I can't monitor it too much because I'm banned, but one edgelord wrote, on review of who is organizing the Austin Metcalf rally, Jake Lang, who is Jewish, is organizing this rally. I don't trust it. I don't want people to get in trouble or hurt. Don't go. Jake Lang responded to this. My mother is Jewish and my father is German and Irish. I was raised in a Catholic family, and I'm now a born-again Christian and a patriot who fought for our country on January the 6th. Where were you when Tierney was afoot in America?
[00:36:40] Keyboard warrior, submissive, and spineless. I spent 1,467 days inside a prison cell as a January 6th political prisoner. I never had a trial. I was never given bond. I am currently a United States Senate candidate in the state of Florida. I'm a real 1776 patriot. I am America first. It is weaklings like you who try to instill fear in the hearts of good patriots to persuade them not to exercise their God-given rights and stand up in the honor of young Austin Metcalf. You should be ashamed even post-garbage like this.
[00:37:08] So, you know, listen, that's the guy who organized it. I don't know anything more about him than that. That's what people are saying. Well, like he used to say, he called a spade a dirty shovel, and that's exactly what he did. I don't know this Jake Lang. He may be the best guy in the world. He may be trustworthy. He may not be. I just don't know. But that's some of the stuff that was going on. But I certainly can't disagree with his statement. Now, you had this minister, Dominique Alexander. Now, no relation. So, no relation to Keith.
[00:37:38] But he is the one who is sort of helping out and serving as a spokesman for Carmelo Anthony and his family, helping them, you know, take care of themselves, let's just put it that way. And helping them endure the stress of being overnight millionaires. In his statement at this press conference after Carmelo Anthony was released,
[00:38:06] the Reverend Dr. Minister Dominique Alexander vented about the struggles of black men, of being a black man in America. He falsely claimed that Kyle Rittenhouse was shooting people in the back. Then he randomly started talking about Trump and race issues. He says black people in America, while the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, black people in America don't have a race card to play. I tell you what. Thank you, Stas, for that update. I tell you what.
[00:38:35] They've got every race card. All 52 cards in the deck are black privileged race cards. Carmelo Anthony's presser is kicked off with an attack on victim. Austin Metcalf's dad is disrespectful of him to come here. I honestly don't know why he would have even gone to that press conference the way he's acting. I'm surprised he didn't get beat up by the people there. Unless he was there to support them, frankly. I don't know. I just don't know what's going on with that.
[00:39:03] But he was there, and they immediately ejected him. So they certainly weren't open to ameliorating the racial divide by welcoming him in there. Well, the head of the Southern Baptist Convention probably has nothing but kind words to say about it. That was something Rich Hamblin just said, and I laughed out loud during the break. He said Austin's dad is probably a Southern Baptist. You know, he probably is. He's in Texas, and we'll see. If he's not, he's in some religiously adjacent group.
[00:39:32] I guarantee nobody, not even the Episcopalians, would go this wild. I mean, you know that you're supposed to disown your son to prove your bona fides as a Christian. William in South Carolina writes, It's greeting James and Keith. Please follow up on your coverage regarding the brutal murder of Austin Metcalfe. Young Austin's father attempted to attend a presser given by the murderer's family. Dead was quickly removed at the request of the killer's people.
[00:39:57] It seems like another of the so-called black ministers has stepped up to the mic for this thug and has shown the country that the race card is always a sure way to get rich quick. Praise the Lord. Also, to make matters even worse, Mr. Metcalfe was swatted today. I did not know that. So you know what swatting means, where somebody calls in a false report of you're about to murder your family or something, get the police there right away. They send in the SWAT team to bust down the door.
[00:40:24] And if you're not just sitting there twiddling your thumbs, you know, they could shoot you because they're on high alert. They think something's going on violently in the house. So, you know, that's just a terrible thing. People are going to do what people are going to do. Brother's going to do what brother's going to do. It's in the DNA. So I did not know that about him getting swatted. I mean, this is just, I mean, it's all just awful. And it's awful to have to talk about this on Easter. I had a whole hour planned. And I figured a lot of people are outraged at his behavior and rightfully so. Well, I hate to make so much. We've spent too much time talking about the father. I just, I don't want to talk about that anymore.
[00:40:54] That's not the issue. But this is a terrible thing to cover any time, especially on Easter. Alas, we must. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

[00:43:39] Another favorite, another one off the hit parade at Summer Avenue Baptist Church back in the 80s and in the 90s. Speaking of Easter, the sequel to The Passion of the Christ is now finally officially happening and is currently in pre-production. So this is the highly anticipated sequel film that will see Mel Gibson return as the director and the writer.
[00:44:04] Jim Caviezel, who played Christ, is going to revise his role as Jesus of Nazareth. The name of the film is The Resurrection of the Christ. It is scheduled to start shooting this year. And I think, you know, in reading about this earlier today, the most striking thing to me was the fact that it took six years for Mel Gibson to complete the screenplay because he poured over every detail.
[00:44:30] Talked to every expert, every historian, every theologian he could around the world to get this as historically accurate as possible. He explained that this is the story of The Resurrection. Mel Gibson says it is a nonlinear story. It took my brother, Randall Wallace, and me about six or seven years to finish the script. We worked with historians. He goes on to say, and I think that this might have even been in Joe Rogan's podcast.
[00:45:00] But now remember Hutton Gibson, Mel Gibson's father, was a good friend of ours here at TPC. He appeared on the show a few times and, of course, was savaged for it. He never backed down and continued to associate. I even actually set him up with a dinner in California with Kevin McDonald. That's a story I like to tell. They ended up having dinner together. I would talk to Hutton on the phone. Just a great guy. He helped the show financially. He died a couple of years ago now, a handful of years ago now, at 102 years of age. An incredible guy.
[00:45:29] Was friends with Willis Carto. Spoke at some of Willis Carto's events. Actually, the Barnes Review is going to have a transcript of an interview. One of the interviews we did with Hutton. The one that made Jimmy Kimmel live and entertainment tonight and all the Hollywood gossip rags where he laid into the Pope at the time. They're going to have a transcript of that in a forthcoming issue. In his statement defending his appearances on TPC, Mel Gibson's father wrote, in part, tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society.
[00:45:56] When an immoral society has proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil. Well, what all of this is showing, both with the Metcalf situation and with the Mel Gibson situation,
[00:46:24] is just what a confused smorgasbord of ideas the modern church is. Where is the leadership of the modern church? Where are the pastors denouncing Carmela Anthony? This is it. You've got to have masculine leadership. And see, people criticize the church, and rightly so. But the church is no different than any other institution. Why would you expect more from the church than you get out of government or of academia or anything? It's only a collection of people from the community.
[00:46:54] It's not like when they cross through the threshold of the church house door that they somehow put on the suit of armor and become brave. What I would say to that is that I would expect the church to be of a higher standard. They should be the ones that we look to for the truth. Well, realistically, we know that that's not human nature. Unfortunately, what we have now is every one of our institutions is completely bumfuzzled by civil rights derangement syndrome.
[00:47:20] Well, this is our friend Paul just wrote Easter is anti-Semitic. That actually brings to mind a joke. What is the most anti-Semitic book in world history? And the answer is the New Testament. Well, I'll read right now. Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas or Jesus, who is called the crushed? For he knew they handed him over because of envy. Reading straight from the scriptures here.
[00:47:47] While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, have nothing to do with that just man, because I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said to them, which of the two do you want me to release to you? They cried, Barabbas. Pilate said to them, what then shall I do with Jesus who is called the Christ? They all said to him, let him be crucified. Then the governor said, why? What evil has he done?
[00:48:17] But they all cried out all the more, saying, let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person you see to it. And then all the people answered and said, his blood be on us and on our children. Well, just think about the practicalities of that situation from the viewpoint of Pontius Pilate.
[00:48:41] But he was appointed to keep things under control in Palestine by the Roman emperor. OK, now he's in this situation where the Jewish religious leaders are, in effect, threatening to revolt if he doesn't do their will and put Jesus to death. He tries to use psychological manipulation on them. He offers them the worst guy in the jailhouse, Barabbas, or Jesus.
[00:49:11] Which one do you want to pardon on this feast day? And they said, give us Barabbas. And then he says, you know, he cannot deal with this. He knows that if he doesn't. Well, if the Jews had gotten out of hand, Caesar was going to come down and take him out. Well, let me tell you what was. Yeah, exactly. What would happen was they would have a revolt. They would have to send legions over to Palestine, as they were all the time. That's why they tore down the temple in AD 70.
[00:49:38] Basically, what Caesar said is, you people are effing crazy. OK, you are the most troublesome. And nothing has changed in that part of the world. The Romans are gone now, but the problem still persists. You're the most troublesome province in the entire Roman Empire. And we basically decided that you have now forfeited your right to be a separate country. We're not going to be so cruel as to put you all to death. Well, we're going to disperse you. And hopefully you will blend in with the other good people in the Roman Empire and become a good Roman citizen.
[00:50:08] And then they ended up getting. And they said, we will never, never, ever assimilate with others. OK, that was. And see, what would happen to Pontius Pilate if he had gone ahead and basically pardoned Jesus? What would have happened? And he would have been called after it was all over to Rome. And Caesar would say, what was this kerfuffle over in Palestine about it?
[00:50:34] He would have said, well, the Jewish religious authorities wanted me to put a man to death. I decided that he wasn't guilty of anything, so I didn't do it. And Caesar would have said, you've got to be kidding me. You know, I thought that you had the timber to be a governor. You apparently are not. And back then they didn't just fire you. They put you to death. Exactly. Well, that's exactly why he did what he did. There's no doubt about it. So, well, anyway, let me read this. This goes back to Trump and the Jews.
[00:51:03] Very interesting email. I've been trying to work in for two weeks now, but we're always so busy and I'm out of time again. But I'm just going to read it and give you something to think about, folks. This is about Trump and Randy Fine, the now Jewish congressman out of Florida. A very astute political observer sent this email. And this is what it reads. Trump needs the House seat. Jews decide the Florida vote. Jews are straining every resource to get what they truly want, which is mass murder of the Palestinians.
[00:51:30] They're pulling out all the stops, revealing how thoroughly they have infiltrated the United States, deporting students in Germany because saying free Palestine is Holocaust denial. They care about nothing else. They are obsessed with mass murder. The ADL has even stopped opposing border security for the United States, which they had long condemned as anti-Semitic. They're even willing to lose DEI now just to hurt the Arabs. So what is Trump to do? Now, this is the question, folks. What is Trump to do? He can stand up to all that and they will fall upon him like a rabid pack of jackals.
[00:51:58] Some people say that Trump is working only for the Jews or that he is a Jew himself, but maybe it's more complicated. Make a list of everything Trump is trying to do. Then subtract everything that the Jews have relentlessly opposed. Poof. The entire list is gone except for genocide of the Palestinians. So let's back up. Go back to the original list of Trump objectives. Jews get mass murder in Gaza, but really they were going to get it either way. And Trump gets the rest of the list. Sadly, the Palestinians are the sacrificial lambs. It's a very ugly business to be sure.
[00:52:28] October 7th gave victory to Russia and victory to Trump in part. It's an ugly business and a terrible price. So basically what he's saying is Trump has given the Jews this so he can get these other things. And if he had opposed them on this, he would have gotten nothing. That is what this political observer, this professor emailed. And I think it was a good email. Well, let me add to that. Basically, if you are an aspiring prize fighter, you don't want to do this. We said this like five weeks in a row. I know, but I want to tell you, this is what really applies to it.
[00:52:55] See, if he had gone against the Jews as like the main thing that was going to be pursued at the beginning of his second term, he would never have gotten anything accomplished. So he said, I've got so many things to get accomplished. I'll put this one over to the side for the time being because otherwise he'd be dead in the water on this. That's what he was saying. Look, the problem is this.
[00:53:26] We don't like to admit this, but we are the center of Jewish power in the world. There are more Jews in America than there are in Israel. This is the next part of it. So another friend responded to this professor, and I was a part of this email list. And I get a lot of my content for the show from these emails because all these guys are so smart. But someone responded, not in retort necessarily, but just as more food for thought, that at some point the Palestinians will get a nuclear bomb from someone somewhere. And when they get it, they will not detonate it in Tel Aviv because it's too close.
[00:53:55] No, they will set it off in the United States. And instead of being 3,000 Americans dead, as there were on 9-11, there will be 15 million dead Americans. The price for our stupid endorsement of the Zionist project and its crimes is going to be steep, steep, steep. That's the other side of it, but this is the political reality on both sides of that coin, Trump and the Jews. We've got to understand that aligning with Israel is putting us at odds with the rest of the world.
[00:54:20] But if you don't, or if Trump doesn't, anything good that has come would not have existed. Right, yeah. He would have been committing political hairy carry. So it's just, I mean, everybody can say how pure they would be and that they would do everything to 100% of what they wanted to do if they were president. But, of course, these people are never going to be president. This is the reality of politics. If you're going to be a success in the real estate market in New York, you have to have a real fine understanding of Jewish power and influence. If you're going to be president, you're going to have to be president.
