Host James Edwards discusses his most recent Twitter ban and a recent event in Washington, D.C., which apparently led to it.
[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] It's hot, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not even going to lie to you folks. It's hot out there today. This Saturday evening, July the 11th, welcome to the show. Summer in full throttle here on your radio airwaves and outside. Thank God for air conditioning, am I right? James Edwards along with Keith Alexander, here's what's coming up tonight. The heat is on. That's a good song. That's 80s. That's 80s pop, but a little past our time.
[00:00:57] But the anchor of tonight's program will be the one and only, the incredible, Peter Brimelow, author of Alienation, Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster. He's going to be back tonight for an in-depth discussion about the Supreme Court's recent decision on birthright citizenship. That's not all in the third hour. TPC legend Winston Smith will be back paired up with Pastor Brett McAtee. No, it's not Easter. It's not Christmas.
[00:01:26] Brett's always with us for those holy days. But there is never a wrong time to offer a biblical defense of ethno-nationalism and put these churches in their places. And so that's always a message that's in season. So we'll be talking with Pastor Brett about that in the third hour. But first, right now, we're going to be talking about Patriot Front's latest demonstration in Washington, D.C.
[00:01:52] Now, this was taking place last week, last Saturday, on the 4th of July. It actually resulted in me being banned from Twitter again. But unlike so many out there who are weighing in on this, we're going to do so tonight from an informed perspective. So I had heard that they were going to be doing this, and I was keeping an eye on it while we were getting ready for the special holiday edition of TPC last week.
[00:02:18] And by the time the show started, the news was already breaking out of Washington. At first, I was thinking, well, it wouldn't be unsimilar from any of the other street demonstrations we've seen Patriot Front do over the years, which is to say that I expected it to be very good and very well organized. But even I underestimated the extent to which lightning would be caught in this bottle.
[00:02:43] And I think the reason for that was it was on the 4th of July, America's 250th anniversary. It was in Washington, D.C., happening simultaneously with Trump's Great American State Fair. And the boys did a great job. It got global attention. I think the Patriot Front rally in Washington, D.C., on the 4th of July was arguably the biggest political news story in the country last weekend.
[00:03:09] And I don't think people give them their due on how much goes in to planning something like this, the logistics, to get these people there without leaving a footprint, to go in, say your message, get it recorded for the social media, and then get out. Let me tell you how impressive that is.
[00:03:29] I have planned all kinds of things, from meetings at organizing meetings in the meeting rooms of Shoney's restaurants to big events with Pat Buchanan where 1,000 people were there. And I've had permits pulled to have rallies in defense of Confederate monuments. We've had 250 and 500 people show up at the two we've done. We've done high-end conferences both in the clear and covertly.
[00:03:54] And when you do something covertly, as Patriot Front always has to do, it's 10 times as difficult at least. These guys are truly remarkable. So what happened? They showed up in D.C. They marched as they do in uniform and with flags, American flags, Confederate flags, Americana all the way. They assembled at the rally point. Thomas Rousseau, our friend, he spoke. And then they disassembled in equally orderly fashion.
[00:04:22] And in doing so, they created this massive deluge of publicity. Rousseau's speech was posted everywhere. I think it's probably not an exaggeration to say it's had millions of views by now, quite literally, millions of views. And it was good. It was very good. And it sparked a debate on who we are and where we are as a nation. And I thought about inviting Thomas back onto the show tonight to talk about it. But he has been making the rounds.
[00:04:52] And so you can find his post-rally recap elsewhere. But I really wanted to take the hour to just myself and with Keith tonight, especially after we got banned from Twitter again for vouching for Rousseau and his organization. I wanted to take this time to double down. That's what we're doing this day. I'm going to double down and tell you more from my perspective and personal interactions with this organization. And I will. We will get to that.
[00:05:22] But first, Keith, I want to say hello to you before we sink our teeth into this further. And we've missed you the last couple of weeks. Showed just not quite the same without you. Last week, you were at a Fourth of July party. The week before that, you were at a wedding in Nashville. So you have certainly been a social animal lately. And it's great to have you back. Well, it's hard to hit a moving target, they say. And I don't know who moves more, me or you. But between the two of us, we were out of pocket.
[00:05:49] I was at a Fourth of July party that was like a social obligation I had to do over the Fourth. And I think the other thing, you were out of town or something, whatever it was. But I'm glad we're back. But Thomas Rousseau, I think they're doing themselves, our enemies, a great disservice by publishing his speech. Because his speeches are always excellent. Oh, he's a great orator. He's off the cuff. And it's delivered in a great cadence.
[00:06:19] And it's good content. Yeah, and he's very sharp. Message is on point. He's saying the type of thing, if they're doing this to hurt him, they're hurting themselves. And I think they're going to realize that sooner or later. Right. Because, you know, Thomas Rousseau is not going to give the movement a black eye. Not at all.
[00:06:39] He is, again, I'm going to get, the reason I wanted to take this hour just for me and you is because I wanted to just talk a little bit more about my association and interactions with them. Going back now, what, seven years at least, I think, something around there. And we'll get to that. But I want to take this in a chronological chain of events type of approach.
[00:07:04] And I think the first thing that I saw in the news, and again, this generated global headlines. Everybody was talking about it. And the first thing that caught my eye, of course, Keith, you saw this as well, who didn't see it if they followed this story at all, was this picture of all these Patriot Front guys, of course, in their gear with their hats and their face masks on. Right. On riding the Metro train there in D.C.
[00:07:31] If anybody's ever been to D.C., as I have several times, you do the Metro. When we did the, when I was at Trump's inauguration, you ride the Metro. And so you have this picture of this young black woman. I won't say a girl. I mean, she looks like she's probably in her 20s. And the media spin on this was how brave she was.
[00:07:54] It's just a picture of her being surrounded by all of these very handsome and strapping Patriot Front guys. I mean, these guys are almost comically polite and gentlemanly. All right. And you actually saw another clip. Clean cut. You know, very presentable. They're engaging with an elderly couple who were there for the Great American State Fair. And one of the Patriot Front guys is going, how are you doing today, man? What are you in town for? You know, just engage in this conversation. They're great guys. I know a lot of these guys.
[00:08:21] But the caption, of course, was how brave this black girl was. And people were saying that this picture deserved the Pulitzer to show how the modern day rose apart, how little we advanced, you know, in race relations. Well, of course, the truth of the matter is that black girl, black young woman had never been more safe on the D.C. Metro as she was in that moment.
[00:08:48] And if that had been the company that Irina Zeruczka had on her train, she would still be alive today. Exactly. And furthermore, all of those white guys there are disadvantaged as compared to that black girl. That black girl gets affirmative action. She gets preferential hiring, preferential admissions to colleges, things like that. It's the exact mirror opposite of what they were trying to sell back in 1956 with Rosa Parks.
[00:09:17] And like Rosa's predecessors, I can't authenticate this. I didn't look into it. But there was certainly a lot of chatter on the Internet that this black girl had allegedly already had quite an impressive rap sheet of disorderly conduct even on the train.
[00:09:36] Kind of like the original person that they were going to base Rosa Parks on, this 14-year-old unwed mother that was profane and had a rap sheet as long as her arm. See, that's what they leave out of all of these stories. And they keep trying to revive the corpse of the civil rights movement and relive it because they really have nothing new to say.
[00:10:03] Basically, if you look at race relations today, white people are the disadvantaged group and black people are the most favored and preferred group in the nation at the present time. Well, that's exactly right. And again, I don't want to get bogged down in this morass of this photo. But that was the first thing that I started to see making news. And then, of course, there was this onslaught of denunciations thrown towards Thomas Russo and Patriot Front in general.
[00:10:33] And it was coming from both the left and the right. And the right, of course, were saying that the Patriot Front is they're all feds and it's an SPLC funded operation, which is just totally so far disconnected from reality. It's beyond absurd. And then the left was calling them wussies. Well, it rhymes with wussy is what they were calling them. And for not taking off their face masks.
[00:11:00] Well, I can respond to both of those things very clearly. Number one, if they're feds, which is just ridiculous, that would mean that they're being run by the Trump administration. So why are the people on the right casting shade at them? If they're feds, why are they universally deplatformed? And, of course, you know, as you mentioned, Keith, when we had lunch a couple of days ago, I mean, ICE and other government agencies, law enforcement agencies have to wear masks for the very same reasons. Because the left is so lawless now.
[00:11:28] They're the ones that go after the right wing people and try to dox them, try to harass them or harm them at their homes, try to cost them their jobs, all of these things. So, consequently, you know, everything is 180 degrees from the way that the left would like to portray it to the American people.
[00:11:47] And the American people, I think, have finally come to the point because of the alternative right, because of the efforts of people like James and others, that they're no longer buying this baloney. They know what the real story is. For example, the federal government, the Department of Justice, has threatened Harvard and Yale and said, you're supposed to not use affirmative action. You're still doing it. And if you don't stop it, we're going to take over your admissions. We're going to punish you in some way.
[00:12:17] That's exactly what you've got to do because they are the new establishment. They have become the establishment over the last 70 years, and white people are now at the bottom of the totem pole. We're in the back of the bus where Rosa Parks supposedly didn't want to go.
[00:12:33] So I can categorically dismiss the whole Fed accusation just from knowing them and knowing people who know them and all of this year's worth of, again, informed commentary that I can provide you on that. But the whole thing about them being cowards because they wear masks, well, they don't want to wear – why are they wearing masks? They're not brave because they don't want to be doxed and never be able to hold down a job again or provide for their families. I mean, it's disgusting.
[00:12:59] It's disgusting to see it come from both ways, both the left and the right. But I think, Keith, it's more disgusting seeing it come from the right. These idiots displaying their lack of knowledge or understanding got so loud. The cries got so loud. I had to weigh in. I had to weigh in, and I did weigh in on Twitter, and it cost me my account.
[00:13:21] There was a big purge of anyone and everyone or most people or at least a lot of people who were defending Patriot Front or Rousseau. Here's the thing with my Twitter account. I was part of a purge in 2023 along with Kevin McDonald and Paul Fromm and Tom Soonich and other fellow travelers who – this was an SBLC-led thing, I guess. Yes, we all got asked at the exact same time on the exact same day and, of course, for no reason, no true terms of service violations whatsoever.
[00:13:49] And I had been off of Twitter until last year. And even when I brought back my account, because I was never reinstated. I was never reinstated. My original account was never reinstated. And it says if you're permanently banned, as I was, that you cannot come back under an alternate account. So I figured that it was just a matter of time, but it was, in fact, my post-Defending Patriot Front that got me. But I didn't ever build this one back up.
[00:14:15] It was just a fraction of the size of the other one that had a massive following. But nevertheless, nevertheless, this is what happened. I posted a photo in response to all of this misinformation, disinformation. Well, at least they said Thomas Rousseau's good grind. Well, let me see what exactly I said, if I can find it, because I had to screenshot it, because I'm cooked there now. But –
[00:14:41] Yeah, the thing is, it is so innocuous that it is just beggar's belief that they chose that to knock you out on. It was obvious that they just didn't want anybody to say anything that wasn't derogatory about Thomas Rousseau's Patriot Front. Well, here's what I said. This is the exact full text. I have had Thomas Rousseau speak at my conferences and have had the chance to do the same at Patriot Front gatherings. He has been an impressive guest on my program.
[00:15:06] By the way, he was on the show last year, last summer, to give the mission, the objectives, the goals of Patriot Front. Anything you want to know about Patriot Front, we covered it last year when he was on the show. He's been on again since then, but that was the first time. I also wrote, I can tell you with certainty that he is the real deal and that the members of Patriot Front are good men. And that was it. And that actually took off. It took off in a big way. And it wasn't long. I wasn't long for the Twitter world once again after that.
[00:15:36] Now, why? The question is why? David Zutty had an answer for that on Twitter. He writes that Elon Musk's free speech platform has a special exception for people who are effective in real life instead of impotent doom posters. Well, thank you for that, David. Another person wrote, I highly recommend TPC, but unfortunately, X doesn't allow links to it. That's true. You can't even post a link to our website on X. And a lot of people picked up on this. A lot of people picked up on my band. Leonardo Johnny called me. Brad Griffin. Kyle Rogers. A lot of folks.
[00:16:06] Ann Wilson-Smith. Clyde Smith's daughter. A lot. I like what Kyle wrote. Kyle, long time friend for the Council of Conservative Citizens. James Edwards, host of the political cesspool, was banned from Twitter after defending the leader of Patriot Front. James posted for 10 years under Jack Dorsey, but it's been banned twice since Elon Musk purchased Twitter. This was a new account. But it wasn't just me. And this is the point. I'm refocusing attention to where it is due right now, and that is to Patriot Front.
[00:16:34] There were many accounts that were nuked this week that vocally supported Patriot Front. Musk is just wrong about this. I don't know what's going on at Twitter. I don't think Musk's finger was on the mouse that clicked ban for me or perhaps even others. But he has to know because it was trending. This became a national news story. And even on Twitter itself, or X, the trending topic read,
[00:17:03] X suspends accounts of users posting or defending Patriot Front. The subtitle of the headline reads, X platform suspended multiple user accounts for posting or defending Patriot Front content. Users reported a purge of accounts similar to the one in 2023. Well, 2023 is when I originally got purged and now I'm purged again now. Well, I think I know the reason. All right, go. I would say this very quickly. Leonardo Johnny, who was on the show last month, I think for the first time,
[00:17:33] are we not allowed to support people who love our country? She wrote that on top of my band. But go. The reason is this. There is an establishment, conservative establishment, that has been in decline since, let's say, the days of Paul Ryan. I remember when Rand Paul, for example, said he was a Detroit Democrat and that he thought that complaining about illegal immigration was racist and we had to drop it. Okay?
[00:18:01] So that's for all the Rand Paul friends out there. Look, that's what we had to deal with. The alternative right, the Internet right of which we are a part, are the real right-wingers. People understand that and the establishment wants to pick our leaders for us. They want to have Ben Shapiro or Charlie Kirk or Candace Owens or, you know, all sorts of people like this.
[00:18:26] You know, Nick Fuentes, they say, are the real right-wingers. And all of these people have serious shortcomings in their lives or have feet of clay. And that's because they want somebody that if that person starts saying too much truth, they can pull the rug out from under them and bring them down quickly. Okay? They can't do that with James. They can't do that with Thomas Rousseau.
[00:18:51] They can't do this with a lot of other people that are genuine grassroots leaders of our movement. And those are the ones that are going to be their targets because they want their clay pigeons up there. You know, they're with feet of clay. They're so-called anointed leaders of the youth wing of the right. All of those people, you know, they didn't take down any of those people. They took down people like James and Thomas Rousseau.
[00:19:21] So that tells you that James and Thomas Rousseau are the real McCoy. Well, I was actually going to get to that, which is to say that Patriot Front, in the midst of all of this, and again, Elon Musk has always branded Twitter or X, as he calls it now, as the free speech social media platform. And so Patriot Front put that to the test. In the midst of all of these people being banned, your humble servant included,
[00:19:47] for posting anything supportive of Rousseau and Patriot Front, Patriot Front tried to join Twitter with an official account, and they were banned within minutes. They were banned within minutes. Why? Why? The why is, well, I think you just covered it, Keith, but I mean, I would double down by saying the why is they're the real deal. And I'm not saying this, I'm not saying that there aren't people on Twitter who do great work and are still there.
[00:20:14] I mean, our next hour guest, our second hour guest, the anchor of the show tonight, Peter Brimelow, is on Twitter. He's got a conditional past, but they're not liable to pull the rug out from under him at any time. Well, and I will also say about Peter is Peter has suffered far, far greater in different ways that we don't even, we can't even imagine. And all of that is for the same reason, because he was effective, because he crossed over from a very, what could have been,
[00:20:42] what could have been a very comfortable conservative establishment lifestyle into the issues that really matter if you want to preserve Western civilization. And he really made the right choice, because that group that you were just talking about, that he could have had a safe future with, that's no future. Those people are fading fast, and ours is growing. Well, I mean, I understand that, but of course. And he's growing as a result, too.
[00:21:09] Well, he suffered greatly, and he could have lived very comfortably. And anybody like Peter, when we're talking about people like Peter and Ron Unz and other people like that who didn't need, you know, we needed them more than they needed us, right? And Peter is a hero, and he's going to be on with us in the second hour. But, I mean, you have other people that are on there. You know, Henrik and Lana are on Twitter still. They've never been banned. They've been banned from other places, of course. Amran is on Twitter. And, folks, you know my temperament.
[00:21:39] I mean, you know me. I've never even engaged with another user on Twitter, ever. Certainly no foul language, no threats of violence. I mean, it is purely political and purely because I agree with David Zutty. And quite frankly, what you said was the most innocuous thing I've ever heard anybody say and get banned from X for. Well, and here's another thing about that. You're supposed to be able to appeal.
[00:22:02] My first ban from my, you know, the account that was major, by the time I got banned, I mean, we were getting, you know, if you believe these metrics, and I'll talk about that a little bit later this hour too, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, sometimes even a million people would, you know, would supposedly see these things I was putting out. And when we got banned from, you know, that one was taken away, and I always appealed it. I never got any warning.
[00:22:31] I never got any explanation, and there was never any response to monthly appeals, but they never responded. But again, the attention here is on Patriot Front. We're interspersing our own experiences here because it's tied to this story, I think, right now. But Patriot Front, what do they do? Why are they so maligned? What do they actually do? They march. They exercise their freedoms of speech and assembly. They are peaceful.
[00:23:01] They are well-spoken. They are well-dressed. As I mentioned, they are polite. They are engaged in community betterment projects such as disaster relief. They help their neighbors. They help their members get jobs. They hike. They maintain physical fitness. And yes, yes, indeed, here in the United States of America, they engage in the public discourse in a very respectable and responsible way. They are not veds.
[00:23:31] They are not veds. You know, my philosophy on that has always been to never do or say anything. If you're worried about anybody in Patriot Front, you know, slipping through the dragnet, I mean, my philosophy is just never do or say anything in front of anyone that you wouldn't do or say in front of someone you know to be an FBI agent or a judge. But they aren't veds. That's preposterous. It is a positive. It is a moral. It is a fraternal organization. And I'm not a member. That's a young man's game.
[00:23:58] But I would certainly have no trouble recommending it to people who ask me an honest opinion. And as someone who occupies a fairly prestigious perch in our ranks, my path has crossed with theirs a few times. And I'm going to give you the history after the break. But, Keith, a final word to you before the music starts. Well, these guys are, for the most part, clean-cut, very presentable people. And apparently the ruffians at Antifa find that threatening. I'm glad you mentioned Antifa.
[00:24:28] Antifa is a federally declared domestic terrorist group. They are a terrorist group by the federal government. I mean, the Trump administration has declared them to be so. They have official Twitter accounts. Think about that as we go into the break. It tells you who is the real establishment. A bona fide terrorist group is allowed to engage in free speech on Twitter but not Patriot Front. And not us. We'll be right back. Proclaiming liberty across the land. You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
[00:25:00] News this hour from Town Hall. I'm Mary Rose. President Trump with a warning. President Trump taking to his Truth Social page with a clear message for Iran where leaders have threatened to kill him.
[00:25:13] The president writing, a thousand missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran with thousands more to immediately follow should the Iranian government act on its threat pronounced in many corners of the globe to assassinate or attempt to assassinate the sitting president of the United States of America. In this case, me.
[00:25:33] Orders have already been given and the U.S. military is ready, willing and able for a one year period of time subject to extension to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran. Correspondent Laura Winters. A close call for a man who was partially sucked out of an airplane window shortly after takeoff on a Ryanair flight from Greece to Germany. Passengers told Greek media many people had fallen asleep or closed their eyes when they heard a loud bang like a tire bursting.
[00:26:03] Oxygen masks dropped and the plane began to lose altitude. One passenger said people were panicking and screaming and one passenger was partially sucked out of the window. People seated nearby pulled him back in. A local hospital says the passenger was treated for neck and shoulder injuries and friction burns. About six minutes after departure, flight records show the aircraft climbed past 15,000 feet, then immediately descended to about 6,000 feet to burn fuel for 30 minutes before returning to Greece.
[00:26:32] I'm Ed Donoghue. A widespread and dangerous heat wave is building across the U.S. with triple-digit highs expected in the southwest and Great Plains this weekend. The heat will spread eastward under a dome of high pressure that meteorologists say could trap oppressive temperatures for a week or more in as much as two-thirds of the continental United States. More on these stories at townhall.com. Larry Elder here.

[00:30:08] We're getting into something that I didn't have in my notes. Folks, if you don't believe me, I can tell you it's true. I spend more time in preparation for each show than we spend on the air, and I had a lot of notes and a lot of things rattling around in my head that I wanted to express to you this hour, but one of the things that slipped past my steel trap was this comparison with Antifa.
[00:30:34] I mean, there is an official Twitter account for, I think, the New York City Antifa and other various Antifa groups across the country. This has been officially declared to be, by the United States government, through the Trump administration, a terrorist organization. They're allowed there. They are allowed to be on Twitter. Why is Patriot Front not? Why would their official account be banned within minutes? Why is Elon Musk calling them feds? And again, I know there's so many people in our movement who are perpetual outrage machines.
[00:31:04] They can only see the negative of any given thing, and especially if it's something that happens to them. There's just no nuance. There's no... Listen, I mean, I have a very real reason to be upset with Twitter and Elon Musk, but I have to say overall, overall, if you look at the big picture, Musk has probably been a positive for our side. I mean, I just... I wouldn't even say probably. He has been, even though this makes no sense, though.
[00:31:32] This truly makes no sense. Well, I've got a theory, okay? The theory is this. The usual suspects are at play. Look at Antifa. Who are they? They're a bunch of scraggly perverts, for the most part. Purple-haired, tattooed, body piercings, everything, you know. And more than that, they are, you know, they're convicted criminals for the most part. A lot of them have, you know, rap sheets.
[00:31:58] And, of course, they're getting paid to do all of this by wealthy Jewish donors like the Soros family. They don't... The people on the left do nothing unless they get paid very well for it. No-talent bums like Brian Seltzer and Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and whatnot. They insist on getting paid multi-million dollars to do what they do, and they are talentless, okay?
[00:32:25] We have very talented people, and we pay our own way. And Patriot Front is like that. They pay their own way. They don't have a George Soros guardian angel by them. And I'll tell you something about this, and Thomas Rousseau has been asked about this. They don't even accept outside donations, and he went into a reason for that. And I can understand it, but nevertheless, everything that Patriot Front does is self-funded from its members. I've even had people in the audience write to me and ask, how can I donate to Patriot Front?
[00:32:55] And I called Thomas, and he said, I don't take donations from people who aren't members. And I asked him, why is that? And he explained it, and I understood it. I mean, I don't think necessarily taking money from good-faith people who are not members is a bad thing, but that's the way he wants to run his organization, and I respect it. So they don't even take outside money from people that are not members, and everything they do is self-funded from within so they can maintain their purity.
[00:33:21] And I'll just give you a little more examples, though, about my past with Patriot Front. The first time I met Thomas Rousseau was in Dallas at an event. It wasn't a TPC event, but it was an event that I organized. And actually, I take that back. The first time I met him was at a different event that our good friend won't mention his name, but I'll give you his initials, JV, put together.
[00:33:49] And I spoke there along with Kevin McDonald and Sam Dixon, and Thomas spoke. That was the first time I was ever in the room with him and that we met. And then I put on an event in Dallas later that year, not for TPC but for another organization, and we had Thomas speak at it. And I can tell you, I think first impressions are very big and very important. My first impression with him was very good. And that was about seven years ago now, I guess.
[00:34:19] It may be more. And that was the first. And then we stayed in touch. And last year, the years do blur. I think it was last year. It was last year early in the spring. So we put together this thing, Patriot Front. I, along with Patriot Front, put together this thing for David Duke.
[00:34:43] And David and I went down to this Patriot Front event in Oklahoma on the Texas-Oklahoma border. And we just had a great event. I spoke, and then David spoke, and Thomas spoke. And it was just a great event. And I really got to know them much better then. They had a rally for Austin Metcalf the very next morning. So we had David Duke and I spoke. And then the next morning, they were down the road having this Metcalf rally.
[00:35:12] And I was so impressed. When we had the TPC Wheel to Power Conference last year, Keith, Thomas came and spoke. But that wasn't the only way Patriot Front participated and really, really helped me with that event. They provided the security. We had a lot of high rollers at that event.
[00:35:34] I still say there hasn't been anything at least this century, in the last 25, 26 years, you hadn't had that collection of talent in one room at the same time. I mean, we're talking about members of Congress. We're talking about members of Parliament. We're talking about a European senator. And Patriot Front ran the security for me. These people are high rollers, all right? And they handled it professionally. They handled logistics for me.
[00:36:03] They picked up the VIPs from the airport. They provided transportation. They provided protections. One of our speakers needed protection. He had a death threat on him. And they handled it incredibly because they have military background, some of these people. These people, Patriot Front really helped me with that event, which I still say, and of course, I might have a little bit of confirmation bias here.
[00:36:29] But that was really one of the more remarkable events in the last 25 years for our cause. And they were a big part of it. And since then, since then, since last spring, I've worked with them on political campaigns. They also engage in electioneering, all right? Not just everything else I mentioned, but electioneering. And through the connections that were made at that conference, they met a property owner who gave them the opportunity to have their most recent American Muscle event. We broadcast live from that back in March, the last week of March.
[00:36:59] Thomas Rousseau was on the show with me. Matter of fact, there was 300 people there for Patriot Front, at least 300. And we had some connection problems with Philip DeWinter that night, who was joining us live from Belgium as we wrapped up our march around the world. And I sent a runner out. I said, we're having technical problems with Philip. I need somebody to fill the rest of this hour. And who stepped away? Who stepped away from all the people that could have come in? Thomas Rousseau. It's his event.
[00:37:27] It's at the zenith of the night. And he comes in and he kills it. I mean, it was the end of the first hour of the last show we did in March. And Thomas just stepped in at a moment's notice and killed it. And so for all of those reasons and more, going back several years, every interaction I've had with him and this organization and members of this organization has not only been top shelf, but really beyond that.
[00:37:53] Well, Thomas Rousseau and Patriot Front are indicative of what is good about the alternative right and what is bad about their opposition. We pay our own way. We're very professional. We do things because we have a sense of camaraderie. On the other hand, Antifa is a bunch of losers that only get paid when their Jewish handlers tell them that they should get paid.
[00:38:21] And I'm talking primarily about the Soros family, okay? Alexander Soros, George Soros, people like this. They're the ones financing these people. They're violent. They're criminals, unlike Patriot Front, which are basically very businesslike, very, you know, upstanding. And in no way, and they like, you know, they pay their own way.
[00:38:48] And Antifa couldn't get out of their own way if they weren't being paid by somebody. They're just, this is what has, this is what the politics of America are today. The left is bought, sold, and paid for by influential left-wingers, people that are either communists or crypto-communists or cultural Marxists. Our people are authentic patriots like Patriot Front. The best one.
[00:39:16] And for people ostensibly on our side who are casting shade, we're going to take this break. And I think I am going to play the Thomas Rousseau speech that he gave in D.C. I think we're going to have time to work it in. And it's six minutes long. We'll play it in the next segment after the break. But for the people casting shade, just don't talk. It's just that simple. If you don't know about it, don't talk. Here's the truth. We need all kinds. This is a very important thing I'm about to say. We need all kinds of people and all kinds of approaches.
[00:39:46] There is no one way. There is no one approach that will work. We need all of it and all at once. We need our own media outlets. We need advocacy organizations. We need policy wonks like Cyan Quinn with the White Papers Policy Institute. We need people running for office and engaging in practical politics. We need street demonstrations and people to occupy space. We need we need security. We need philosophers. We need people in the arts. We need foundations. We need people who can write checks.
[00:40:14] God knows we need it all. We need all of that. And we need to apply pressure. We need to apply pressure on every possible fracture. If one method suits your liking better than others, then support the people who are engaging in that way. Everybody can do that. And everybody should do that. And I don't know how it's going to go with Patriot Front. I think it could go one of two radical ways. Maybe the powers that be are going to shut them down.
[00:40:42] Maybe Thomas Rousseau becomes president one day. But, you know, we're not they aren't vulnerable because they're not bought, sold and paid for like groups like the SPLC and Antibiot. All right. We'll be back. And we're going to play the speech that Thomas gave at D.C. that spawned everything we're talking about tonight in the next segment. Stay tuned. Hey, friends. It's James.

[00:42:59] All right. Before we play this clip or this speech, just want to say that I relish in having the opportunity and having the opportunity for this last 22 years
[00:43:23] to promote and support and advocate for people who I believe are producing good fruit. And, Keith, you know, we were listening during the break from the local feed on the local station. And, you know, to get this message out is really something. There is something about this show that they really, really, really don't like. They would love to kill us. I go back so far.
[00:43:53] We were setting precedents. I mean, when I got first kicked off of PayPal in 2006, people were not universally deplatant from credit card processing. When I got kicked off, you know, when the show got kicked off from Facebook around that time, the first conference to ever be banned in the common era was this conference we were having here in Memphis in 2008. You remember that? I remember it well. I was in a row with David Duke and his lady friend from Russia.
[00:44:20] And I said, we may not be the land of the free, but we still are the home of the brave. I remember all the mass nations that you had to go through in order to secure a venue, but we got one secured. Well, that was a secondary venue after the first one, you know, capitulated. But these were first. I mean, even as late as 2008, groups that I love dearly, like the Council of Conservative Citizens and Amron, and they were still able to have conferences, but that quickly stopped. But what we're doing here is effective.
[00:44:48] We're reaching a lot of people, a very sizable audience. So in terms of just getting the message out. We were here at the low point, and now things are going up. Basically, under the Trump administration, say what you want to, in terms of local, you know, domestic policy, we've come a long way, baby, as they say on the Virginia Slims commercials. And, you know, we wouldn't have done that except for, among other things,
[00:45:18] the efforts of grassroots, alternative right-wingers like you, Thomas Rousseau, Peter Brimelow, and others. Well, that's what I wanted to get to, actually. And we've got to move very quickly here if we're going to work in Thomas' speech. But what we're doing here is effective. And increasingly, our ability to use our connections to bring people together for the betterment of our calls is something I'm very proud of. I mean, I'll just give you a couple of examples.
[00:45:45] I mean, bringing Kevin MacDonald together with Antelope Hill Publishing for the third edition of the Culture of Critique. You know, people meeting at that conference last year in South Carolina, leading to two campaigns and this huge Patriot Front event earlier this year. And there's other examples. That's really where the rubber meets the road. Can you have a conference? You know, that's it. Can you bring people together? Can you network in a way that is advancing us above and beyond your program or your podcast or whatever? And I don't understand the Twitter metrics.
[00:46:15] I don't understand social media. 200 million people, you know, see a tweet of – I saw something that had millions of views, supposedly. It was the map of the United States, but the first letter of each state name was omitted. And it had millions of views. I saw something – an alligator – it was an AI video of an alligator throwing a rock. It had 100 million views.
[00:46:40] I mean, this is more people than saw the most watched Super Bowl in history or the most watched television show in history. All of that is dubious to me. These numbers that you see, how many people are viewing a tweet or video on YouTube, very dubious to me. Can you mobilize people? That's where it gets real. We can. Patriot Front can. Other people can. That's where you get the return on your investment. It's always a safe bet on people that can do that. And we're working around the clock to make you proud. Let's play the speech.
[00:47:11] While many are content to celebrate independence on this day, we know what these vapid displays conceal. Our people are not independent. Our destiny is shackled to 100 competing nations imported to this soil, bringing with them countless incompatible interests. Our homeland has been turned into a squalid arena of profiteers and invaders, overseen by a spineless cast of traitorous politicians.
[00:47:40] We wish for sovereignty and liberty, which cannot coexist with the conditions that have been forced upon us. A quarter millennia has now passed since America's violent birth, and nothing I can say will glorify independence more than the blood of our forebears that stains this continent, consecrating it forever with the immortal legacy of the man who died for so noble and objective as sovereignty.
[00:48:08] So we stand on the turning of an age and the making or breaking of our nation's destiny, and we must ask ourselves under the watchful gaze of history what is to be done. So dire is our circumstance, so extreme is our condition of peril, that the only way to secure our existence is to become all that we aspire to be. A defeated people was cast into this pit of a century,
[00:48:36] yet a nation exalted above all the rest will climb out of it. This is our death. Our national independence was seized by a natural aristocracy of our people, by the best of our Anglo-Saxon blood, waging war against tyranny to restore their ancient rights, not solely for themselves, but to bequeath it to their people and their posterity beyond that. Now, regime after regime, tainted with corruption,
[00:49:06] has wrestled this sovereignty away piece by piece, and placed it in the hands of the few and the foreign. Our liberty as Americans is squandered upon the unassimilable masses. They know not how to use it, and we are done trying to teach them. And while the state has spent priceless years and countless fortunes attempting to educate and civilize our ethnic replacements, true Americans have been not merely left behind,
[00:49:35] but subject unbefitting the heirs of this continent. The men of our nation, their hearts and minds and virtues, are the safest place within which to secure the ultimate power of government. Yet neither do our people hold this power, nor are they yet capable of wielding it justly. If we want our country back, we cannot merely speak of policy. We cannot just propose change.
[00:50:02] We must first impose it upon ourselves. You may read our policy. On the calluses of our hands, the scars on our backs, and the sweat of our brow, the future belongs to the men, with iron in their blood and patriotism in their heart.
[00:50:19] Our depth of natural resources for our shield against subjugation, all this and more. Corruption and disunity. No, it is in our people that we must look. It's only within the blood and spirit of the race which created America
[00:50:46] and sustains it still in this and none other. The enemies of our people. From the Jewish cabals to the Mexican cartels. From the African criminals to the homosexual peddlers of vice and exploitation. But I would not desanctify this day further with their description. Their conduct is set. Their fates are written. This day is for Americans. It is on aid of a nation rest.
[00:51:15] It is our deeds which will bring justice and prosperity. Our Americans, not by edict or ideal, but by blood. Our nation is so entrenched. Corruption is so widespread that we harbor no thought that we will save this nation without America's enemies offering us chance
[00:51:44] after chance to prove our conviction with deed. Wisely, we do not wish for ease in our conquests and bravely we do not ask for it a lesser task would have fallen to lesser men. We wish for nothing less and nothing short than a revolution, a time of vast change and an outlook of undaunted courage towards the future that has infested our land will be expunged.
[00:52:12] The foreigners will be saved. We endeavor to reforge the lives of them through their purpose and awaken within them the strength to do what this era demands of them. On this day once more, louder than ever,
[00:52:37] we stand as a promise to our people and a challenge to our foes. We renew our pledge upon the oath which threatens the existence of our people.
[00:53:19] Keith, we could spend an hour breaking down that speech. You've got 30 seconds. Okay, he talks about the blood that is the foundation of America. We're not a proposition nation. We are a blood and soil nation and we need to recognize it. Proposition nation, anybody that peddles that baloney to you is your enemy. Our nation is like every other nation. Every nation that's a real nation is a blood and soil nation.
[00:53:47] We are a basically European, northern European founding stock. That's what we have to remember. This is what made America great. And the departure, the attempt to replace us with others is bound to lead to, you can't have a first world nation with a third world population. That's what the left has in store for us. Okay, and we're going to fight that with every ounce of our being.
[00:54:15] And Thomas Orso knows that truth and preaches it day and night. Patriotfront.us for more information. That will wrap up our coverage on that. When we come back, Peter Brimelow, the legend, the legend, the hero. Peter Brimelow and our friend, proud to say so. Peter Brimelow will be back with us. We're going to talk about the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the birthright, citizenship, executive order, and the whole 14th Amendment.
[00:54:45] The 14th Amendment. Stay tuned.
