[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
[00:00:29] And welcome back everybody Welcome back 20 years in this business and you overcome obstacles you adapt you evolve you just find a way to make things happen James Edwards and Keith Alexander tonight the thing you don't know ladies and gentlemen a little behind the scenes
[00:00:53] Keith and I got here about an hour before the show started tonight And we had an entirely different guest booked from overseas that was going to be with us this evening And she we had a lot of difficulty connecting with her and
[00:01:08] Nothing was working right on her end on our end She was having computer computer connectivity issues and we were troubleshooting this and that about Just wasn't gonna work out and about 17 minutes before the show started. I told her that we would reschedule her and
[00:01:24] Get her on the books for a later date and then that left the first hour wide open So we have literally 15 minutes 15 minutes before the show starts tonight And we have a wide open hour with no, you know, we could have figured something out. We would have
[00:01:38] you know talked or But I said I'm gonna call Steve Stockman So I'll call Steve Stockman 15 minutes for the show starts. Hey Steve, what are you up to tonight? I'm driving through Tennessee on my way up to the Republican National Convention
[00:01:51] Just gave a talk at this group here in this group here and I said that's great Wonderful as a matter of fact if you're in the car, how about Into the show tonight. We've got a last-minute opening and you'd be wonderful and
[00:02:04] There he was, you know just a few minutes later There he was and you just heard him and it's always great to talk to him And I think certainly a fitting guest. I know God's will be done I told Keith after the first hour. God's will be done
[00:02:16] there may be some prizes to us but there's not to him and that Interview that I had in mind Was meant to be rescheduled and Steve was meant to be on tonight And I thought it was great to have a former congressman talking about all the stuff
[00:02:28] We've been witnessing on both sides of the duopoly the Republicans and the Democrats He's gonna be up there in Milwaukee We didn't spend nearly enough time on the Republican side of things as I would have liked getting his takes and
[00:02:41] Insights because we spent so much time on the Democrats, but It was all time well spent. I think we weren't better on the fly if you want to know the truth
[00:02:49] You know that's the first thing Keith said when our producers said we were clear at the end of the first segment But I'm talking about an hour that had absolutely no prep
[00:02:58] By either us or the guest and we just started talking and that's how it all came out We had no line of questioning no topic set up just we're just gonna talk about what's going on Well, we often say that the left never lets us down
[00:03:11] We never are left with nothing to say We got a pretty deep bench in the phone so I was scrolling through it I was like, you know, I want somebody that hasn't been on You know within the last couple of weeks and I want you know
[00:03:23] Who's somebody that could talk about something timely and then I saw Steve's thought yeah, they're GOP convention I didn't even know he was going but Found that out to me. The hammocks are hard to break
[00:03:35] Anyway, he's always a fun guy to talk to and a larger than life story every time he's on I would remind you to go back and listen to his interview with us. He's been on several times
[00:03:46] Couple of times this year with Steve King back when Steve King and I like the modern version of Whitaker chambers When Steve King and I were in at a speaking engagement together in Orlando the first week of February
[00:03:58] Steve Stockman appeared with Steve King and Peter Brimelow on that show They were both with the Steve and Steve were both with us back in June as we mentioned But the interview you really got to hear with Steve Stockman is his interview if you just listen to one
[00:04:12] His interview on November the 18th of 2023 when he talks about Everything that he experienced while serving in Congress on two separate occasions and two separate districts nearly 20 years apart It's an incredible story what they put that they put him in prison
[00:04:26] They cherry-mattered his district the first time put him in prison the second. It's just an incredible There's really should be and I think there is a documentary a short film coming up about
[00:04:37] His life, but this is a story that would make for just an incredible movie the story about how they treat I mean talking about being in solitary confinement and all the torture that they did American version of Gulag Archipelago
[00:04:50] Yes, he's a new social needs. You know they withheld his medicine when they when Trump commuted his sentence they Yeah, really he talks about all of that so anyway fascinating guy great guy All right We're gonna catch our breath this hour
[00:05:06] We're gonna talk about some of the recent trips We've had some behind-the-scenes stuff from those not things you heard on the on the radio because well you heard them on the radio
[00:05:15] There's no need to recover that but first we're gonna read a some listener correspondence. This comes from a first-time donor Carol in Illinois and she writes with everything being shut down I feel like you are one of America's last hopes
[00:05:31] Keep up the great work. I have been receiving your emails for years and now is the time for me to stand up God bless you and your family and She asked if we could send her the recent copy of For the love of Dixie
[00:05:48] Which was our incentive last month and Carol? Thank you for being a first-time donor All the way up in the land of Lincoln getting the book about the Dixie that we sent out from TBR
[00:05:59] Mark in Oklahoma writes dear James and Keith. Thank you so much in the entire crew and we do have us a great production crew I have to give kudos to our producer Liz
[00:06:11] Who was with us for all of this troubleshooting and all the back and forth that was going on behind the scenes in the studios tonight? She is just an ace mark right, so thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. It helps me maintain
[00:06:24] morale out here, thank you so much. Well, that's what we are here to do to Encourage your people to inform them maybe be a little entertaining although that's that's not them know that all hope is not lost
[00:06:38] That's right. No hope is never lost never lost while we breathe. We hope that's the motto of the state of South Carolina old Latin phrase Doug in Las Vegas James. Thank you for fighting the good fight. Well, thank you. Listen just right there, Illinois, Oklahoma
[00:06:52] Las Vegas, Nevada TPC nation is Everywhere and we have met so many of you over the course of the last couple of weeks again being down in Louisiana two weeks ago Tonight and last week at this time. We were in South Carolina for a raucous
[00:07:09] raucous a live crowd Both of those shows very interesting in different ways in Louisiana three hours with a single guest last week It was our the fourth of July annual fourth of July show and
[00:07:24] I just don't think it could they continue to get better all of these things every year you look at the program I think just looking at it from my seat as host You go over Five five year increments ten year increments and even year to year
[00:07:43] It just seems like everything we do even these things that are on the regular calendar Like March around the world or Confederate history month or the or the show we did last week
[00:07:50] They just seem to get a little bit better every year and that's you know, certainly do in large part to our guests fine wine We age well I You listen and we met a lot of people last week as I've been listening since 2009 since
[00:08:05] 2015 asked one gentleman from the UK who was with us in South Carolina last week Just had a great time meeting him. We talked a little bit about that on the program But I said, you know, why have you been listening for so long?
[00:08:14] What's kept you and he just said the guest you have the best guest and we really do and it's such a great assortment of guests too Individually, they're all wonderful. Obviously. We wouldn't bring somebody on just to do a throwaway segment or a throwaway hour
[00:08:27] Oh, here's a guest, you know, he might be okay, but you probably won't be too good No, we everybody we bring on and we try to bring them on because they're interesting and informed but it can be anyone from
[00:08:38] You know historical figure to former congressman or sitting elected official It may be a celebrity guest, but obviously our movement stalwarts are the people that we've created the show to A forum to we're like an old prospect or we know where the gold is buried and we
[00:08:54] Seek it out I was telling you last night on the phone Keith that it was being in South Carolina last week was Was wonderful. You could hear that on the radio
[00:09:03] But what was interesting about the audience was there's a lot of people in the audience there who have never met us before So by that I mean it was different than what we
[00:09:11] the audience that we had or the the in-person in the in-person audience not the at-large listening audience but Then what we had at our conference back in May and The people that we invite to our conference and we have to do these things very discreetly to avoid
[00:09:26] threats of violence and shutdowns from the left but These are people that are known to us that have been around us many times before and it's like family reunions old friends
[00:09:37] We talk about that a lot of people in the crowd last week were meeting us for the first time and but it Doesn't mean that they were less informed on the program now. I'm talking about these are people who have
[00:09:49] Maybe never financially contributed to the radio program before But they know this show back and forth and they know its program history They can tell you things we've done things We've said all of this going back many many many years
[00:10:01] And I think after the show last week we sat around for what we sat around for a while talking after the show But I think for about 10 or 15 minutes we did an autograph session people coming up and getting signed books and
[00:10:12] Taking pictures and it was just fun to meet people for the first time and see that Enthusiasm that they have for the show what we have done here as a collective has been very special and very worthwhile
[00:10:23] And I don't know if there's really any organization that connects with its audience and its listeners and its friends And its supporters to the extent that we do It's very heartfelt very genuine from us to them and them to us
[00:10:36] The music's playing but a quick response to that well We have a large audience a large audience and we even know and that's what All these visits that we take all over the place proves to us
[00:10:46] They're people who are hurt and they tell us that they've been listening to us for years. That's right. That's right We'll be right back. We are gonna get to some news this hour. So

[00:13:36] Before you know it. I think it is the Psalms tell us the the Psalms instructors to be still and know I think the context of that is to be still and know that
[00:13:47] He is our God, but in this context it is just be still and appreciate what we've got Let's not always be looking forward to the next thing to where we don't
[00:13:57] Stop long enough to be present to be present and and appreciate all of the things that are happening. So again two weeks ago wonderful Gathering in Louisiana there was actually at that particular remote broadcast a water slide on scene
[00:14:13] and I took my wife and kids down there for that one and My son played out in that heat and humidity on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain for so long He slept for two days
[00:14:24] Which is all he could sleep because then he was with me in South Carolina last week enjoys tagging along with dad on these things But we were up until 2 a.m. 3 a.m. You know in Louisiana singing karaoke we
[00:14:39] friend of mine and I did a wonderful rendition of Mack the knife and I think we did a little smoky Robinson to we got pretty deep into the four seasons songbook, of course and Who told you it was a wonderful rendition?
[00:14:57] At 3 a.m. It all sounds good, you know, but this is this is the point is Yes, we are engaged in an internal struggle. All right, it's very serious I mean, this is life and death. Will we exist kind of stuff?
[00:15:12] But at the same time at our gatherings We enjoy one another that is it is it is all at once It is we do the serious things and we and but we still take time to enjoy the life
[00:15:25] God has given us and the family and the company and the comrades the friendship of that we share with with so many people and And
[00:15:34] That's nice and we certainly have done that a lot this year because we've been on the road a lot with not only our conference But other events as well and just getting back to our conference for a moment back in May
[00:15:45] I'm only revisiting this stuff because this is sort of like a pause and reflect hour But we have so many letters. This is yellow legal pad of handwritten note here From a listener who writes dear James and the TPC family
[00:15:58] It was an honor to be invited to and attend parts of your 20th anniversary bash It truly meant a lot that y'all included us The mystery speaker was fantastic. I felt like I could have listened to him for hours longer
[00:16:11] I'm so happy that you chose the location you did because it's always a pleasure meeting everyone that comes to events You're at and this was a listener that was near the location Who lives near the location of our 20th anniversary conference where it was sold back in May
[00:16:26] But you want to know he was at the event as last weekend as well. You are an incredible story key. Let me know he was Listening to the radio program that we did live from the 20th anniversary event He had gone home earlier that day
[00:16:42] He was at the conference the Friday night session and he said something told him to go home that afternoon and Not stay for the show that night but just listen to it at home And he said he was listening to the show and in the second hour
[00:16:57] And he had no idea that this would happen that they had been praying for it for a while His wife came to him while he was listening to that anniversary broadcast show back in May and told him that they were expecting their first child
[00:17:12] And he told me that you know From now on the show will always be apart connected to His his firstborn and and you know, he told me that I mean obviously just it makes you feel Like you're on top of the world just to share in
[00:17:29] These moments in life that people have and we get this we get this from listeners all the time They will email us. They will write us these letters talking about things going on in their lives whether it's good things
[00:17:43] Like a growing family or hard times, you know, maybe they've lost a job or they're going through some financial distress as we all are but we will hear these things and Got a letter from a dear
[00:17:56] Lady who I've never had the honor to meet but she's been a longtime listener never even spoken with her But she sends in correspondence and support Fairly regularly a couple of times a year
[00:18:07] I would say and she lives in East Tennessee and she's in her later years and she was talking about how she Was in rehab and is in rehab for some issues that are going on
[00:18:17] And just and she sent me a very nice hallmark card just saying that the show was on our mind We were on our mind asking how we're doing We really have that and you have to have that if you do not love one another
[00:18:27] If you do not stand ready to support one another, you've got nothing I mean, what are we building? What's the point in winning if we don't have a community a high-trust community where people Feel at one and interconnected and I'm so glad we built that I got this
[00:18:43] That's like the Tom Jones song without love you have nothing at all right this Listener I His father was a listener all right and he writes James dad Might and he gives me his father's name was a huge fan and a longtime supporter for many years
[00:18:58] He passed away recently and peacefully and I just wanted to let you know that I too have become a fan of what you do and stand for through his
[00:19:09] Support of your radio program blessings and continued success and that comes from a listener in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee a little bit to the east of us So when it's just this is I don't know I hope every organization in our calls
[00:19:24] Are all of our standard bearers can share similar stories, but I know that we can and Again folks this is very special. I don't guess I'm telling you anything that is unprecedented But it's things that we need to pause and that's what we're doing this hour pause and
[00:19:41] Put some stock into you never know how much influence you have on people and We find that out all the time whenever we go to a meet and greet whenever we get mail We're basically
[00:19:55] astounded at how many people follow us and really enjoy our show and it's very humbling We've got some more correspondence from people who were both at the 20th anniversary conference a couple of months ago
[00:20:08] This is how long we've been waiting to do a mail segment. We've been so busy and people who could not be there This comes from a listener in Texas dear James and Keith I so dread that I wasn't able to attend your 20th anniversary celebration
[00:20:19] You fented that there might be other gatherings in the future. So I'll keep I'll hope you will keep me on the invite list Well, yes, Brian. This is Brian in Texas. We most certainly will he commented on Nick Griffin's video speech from the conference
[00:20:31] Which we were actually able to replay on TPC the week after because we had that one on tape Nick Griffin's video speech was on was spot on And that goes the thing that I perceive to be happening
[00:20:43] Especially concerning economies demographics and political trajectories surely if we see these things many others do as well I know with certainty that our leaders like mr. Griffin and you too James and Keith will raise awareness
[00:20:55] To these problems and help our people see a brighter future remember progress. However, slider slow is still progress Well, thank you Brian for that and I agree and I appreciate your support And we will definitely look forward to seeing you a little later on down the trail
[00:21:11] Hopefully and an event in the very near future and these events are becoming more and more commonplace whether it's something that we're Putting on or something that we've been invited to we are certainly at The middle of a lot of things right now
[00:21:25] Nathan and Vermont dear James and Keith. Thanks again for a memorable 20th anniversary bash and he sent a very nice bottle of Vermont whiskey Infused with Vermont maple syrup Sir brother and whiskey no no
[00:21:47] There is maple syrup in whiskey and we want to thank you he writes. Thanks again for all your hard work and hope to see you soon
[00:21:53] We hope to see you again soon as well Nathan and this is from Tom in California. Hey James. Sorry. I missed the event of the year
[00:22:01] I'm planning to make the next one. I'm going to rod my motorcycle to your next event and make a national tour of the southern state So this is a gentleman already planning ahead to our next event Be careful about the potholes in the road travel
[00:22:15] From California to wherever we have our next event on his motorcycle. He says I look forward to tpc every week Well, thank you for being with us every week time and thank you for your support
[00:22:28] Look, you see the diversity of all of these handwritten notes. I see green paper I see yellow paper white paper blue pen black ink. You've covered up the keyboard on your
[00:22:37] Laptop. Yeah, I know I got to do that because that's the one that keeps the show going but How about this one? This is a dog with a nice. So what is that?
[00:22:45] It's like a beagle. That beagle is what it looks like to me from a listener in virginia Your james and keith as always it's a privilege to support your work Uh I am informed entertained inspired and refreshed after every program
[00:22:58] I have to admit I was a little jealous missing out on the 20th anniversary festivities After hearing all the fun and the amazing guests on the radio
[00:23:06] Hopefully i'll be able to shake your hand at the 25th or sooner. Well, let's make it sooner than five years from now Who knows what prison cell will be in by then but And perhaps we'll have turned the corner by then that's what we're hoping for
[00:23:19] Mike that's certainly what we're hoping for and he writes that he hopes that elan will let us back on twitter Well, I'll tell you. I think they put us under the twitter jail my friend. I don't think that's happening
[00:23:28] I appeal that uh suspension that unjust suspension every month I never get a response as to why we were suspended I never got a warning that we were going to be suspended and not only that they have now forbidden people who actually still have twitter accounts
[00:23:41] From even posting links to the political cesspool.org and in fact a couple of people have been banned for even trying to post links To our program. So that's how bad it is at twitter. I don't think we're coming back
[00:23:51] Somebody actually brought that up in south carolina that said, why you got these raving people? the you know Advocating violence in the name of our cause and all of that and they're on twitter but kevin mcdonnell and jerry taylor and james edwards are and somebody pipe up
[00:24:03] That said they do not want thoughtful and effective people on there Now obviously there are thoughtful and effective people We know a lot of them that are on their henrick palm grinn is still on there
[00:24:11] And I can't think of all the people who are still on there because i'm not on there and I can't even see it But there are still great people there, but yeah, they definitely there's definitely
[00:24:20] A disconnect and some people who are there and some people who are not but well, you know, we hesitate to mention their names Because that might provoke the powers that be to censor them But when we are out from under the censorship
[00:24:35] Cover then you know that the promised land has been reached We'll be right back as this uh Much needed hour of thought and reflection Goodwill continues kevin mcdonnell. It's coming up in the third hour by the way protecting your liberties You're listening to liberty news radio

[00:31:17] Would and you know, I think it's the lord's hand. He was guiding us towards steve stockman tonight and we didn't know it Well, it's uh, we did the best with what we couldn't it turned out very good
[00:31:28] Now steve stockman is never anybody's second choice. Of course. I'm not saying well If things have gone the way we had planned tonight No, the things went as they were As god planned and we can get uh live back on it was good to have
[00:31:40] See because we needed to have some time talking about what's been going on in presidential power politics lately Because the last two weeks being on the road. We haven't really focused on news and current events that much
[00:31:51] So because of the nature of those two particular shows this letter In from canada I believe it is uh up near vancouver Dear james, I hope this note finds you and your family in good health
[00:32:09] Listening to you on your show certainly indicates that you are in top form. Well, i'm glad we appear that way because i tell you i'm certainly um a little travel weary but Putting this headset and microphone on every Saturday night brings me back to life. It's uh
[00:32:26] Just an uncanny thing. I just listened to uh, the excuse me. I'm not just I listened to the first hour of your june 15th show twice Uh, warren baylog was very interesting the whole trump phenomenon is fascinating and frustrating as i'm sure you could um
[00:32:45] Agree with your analysis of him being our guy, but not our guy Without an ideology, but still somewhat helpful in some ways seems to encapsulate an accurate description of the donald From here on to november The election should be quite the ride. I look forward to tpc
[00:33:02] For the best info. Well, thank you so much from british columbia my friend Ed who listens every week all the way up in the great pacific northwest even north
[00:33:15] Of the border keys and the great white north as they call it over in pennsylvania. We have dale who writes Dear james edwards my prayers are continuing for you your loved ones and your associates at the political cesspool
[00:33:30] And everyone else in the fight. I enjoy your interviews in the american free press. I appreciate your unity and Speaking of that. Thank you dale for that speaking of that Let me there's a little note on the other side. Let's see
[00:33:46] But speaking of that though. Yes, I do want to mention I'm glad dale wrote in and I am thankful for his support because this has just been something Doing this paul's this reset and refresh hour that we're doing right now
[00:33:59] It has been a little over one year now keith since I signed on with the american free press To be a full-time contributor for them in addition to my duties here And it has just been the most seamless hand and glove partnership that one could hope for
[00:34:15] And the whole team there paul angel and chris patherick Are phenomenal. I remember traveling up to Washington to meet willis-cardau back a couple of years before the show started in uh, 2002 or 2003 something like that And chris patherick was there even then that's the editor-in-chief
[00:34:39] For afp and of course willis god bless him and god rest his soul But this is something where not everybody who listens to the political cesspool reads the american free press Not everybody who reads the american free press listens to the political cesspool, but I think everybody should
[00:34:54] I think everybody who listens to tpc or reads afp or at least aware Of one another and the barns review is well We've had a lot of content in the barns review the last few issues, which is a sister publication
[00:35:07] It's a historical journal that comes out every other month. Whereas the american free press is a current events and news Newspaper print newspaper that comes out every other week, but these are It's just it's just been great
[00:35:20] And so we're a year into that now and we hear a lot from afp and tbr readers who have become tpc listeners And it's it's just been great and what it does too is it expands our reach. We're able to take
[00:35:34] They give me the luxury of doing q and a's as you know with Our regular guests and so it gives the guest a little more play We do a print q and a for the newspaper with our regular guest and it just helps
[00:35:49] Spread the wealth around even more. Let me say this if you're not familiar with the american free press You ought to be and if you really want to save your brain cells and avoid depression
[00:36:04] Cancel your local newspaper subscription and replace it with the american free press and get some real news and some intelligence For a change. It'll be no more expensive and 10 times 100 times a thousand times more valuable
[00:36:18] And you'll be supporting good people who tell the truth and we're a part of that And it's just getting wonderful information That you won't get anywhere A t the splc has always disparagingly called us the nexus and i don't know about that
[00:36:31] But we are we do work well with others and we have always worked well with others You got that uh plus mark on your first grader pull card and plays well with others. Yeah, you did it
[00:36:40] Well, let me tell you some of the stuff that's been going on in american free press and barns review And by the way subscribe to both if you're not already i know a lot of you are
[00:36:49] But a couple of issues ago we had a q&a with brad griffin Issue before last with warren baylock. So again, we're talking about our regular guests We get them in the paper as well And this issue in american free press that will be hitting mailboxes
[00:37:05] This week perhaps you've already received yours if not within the next couple of days you'll get it paul angel Who is the editor that i work most closely with there and he's just long time guy there
[00:37:17] Great guy very capable. I mean there is not a more professional publication than these two But uh, he he said who do you got uh, who do you want to do this week for your piece in afp?
[00:37:27] And i said i was looking at this person this person would be good He said how about we do this Because the afp had a reporter at uh at the tpc conference. He said why don't we interview you About the tpc conference
[00:37:38] I said i uh just that sounds being glorious You know i'd be honored but you know no no no let's just do that and It actually turned into a really nice It was a 10 part q&a like i would do except the tables were
[00:37:53] Returned and it was afp interviewing me about the history of the show and it uh, I have never seen something so succinct That covered the entire 20 years and 10 questions and they did a great job putting it together and that's that's out right now
[00:38:08] And uh jim dowson who i just mentioned he's going to be uh featured in the next piece and he'll be on the show next week So they should hit his appearance on tpc and the afp Interview with him should hit at about the same time
[00:38:21] These bi-weekly q&a's that we do and in at the barn's review And the current issue which is the for the love of dixie June july issue of 2024 It uh Has a q&a with sam dixon
[00:38:38] A lengthier q&a than you would find in american free press with sam dixon it also includes My chapter in the honorable calls So if you didn't buy the book if you get tbr you can still read my contribution
[00:38:51] A little extra play there coming up in the next issue of the barn's review. We have a long a long Interview with ruben calip the former member of parliament in estonia And i had originally asked ruben to do this q&a for american free press
[00:39:06] And i said i have a 2000 word limit That's my max that's how much space i got I said it's 2000 words including the questions so answer the questions, you know a paragraph or two Be more than sufficient and i think uh somehow He read that as 20 000 words
[00:39:26] But it was so It was so good i asked paul angela i said paul um This is a little bit longer to say the least And i said do you want to break it up into Two or three parts what do you want to do?
[00:39:40] He said james this is so damn good. We can't break it up We're going to just publish it all but we're going to move it over to the barn's review where we have a little more space
[00:39:48] So that's coming out of the next he goes into geopolitical and socio-political and metapolitical Nuances from the perspective of an estonian with regards to russia ucraine Russian history estonian history it is It is unbelievably good and that's going to be the next issue of the barn's review
[00:40:10] And in the one after that, you know, they almost wipe those people out and uh, the soviets did in World war two uh and the aftermath we get into that we get into that with ruben
[00:40:22] You got to subscribe to the barn's review to get it but yeah why estonians look at russians Kind of side-eyed whereas, you know, we I think most westerners say putin and russia or the good guys and nato and washington and you
[00:40:35] You know and and the big mistake people make like the estonians when they do that They don't distinguish russians from jewish bolsheviks who were actually running the soviet union Well, and you know you got some similarities going on now with what's going on
[00:40:49] Yeah, we're under the same domination now in america and in ukraine obviously that color revolution in zelinsky and all of that But we get into all of that with ruben keillop. That's going to be an of course coming issue of tvr
[00:40:59] We are everywhere we need to be we'll be right back. Hey friends james edwards here again to remind you that anilope Publishing is america's premier provider of dissident literature They print books that mainstream publishers are too afraid to touch providing you with information

[00:41:54] There's no doubt that they have something for everyone to check out their catalogue today at anilopel publishing dot com Your call is being transferred to the listening ear listening professionals dedicated to hearing you
[00:42:12] Hello listening here. Who am I listening to um kerry, but i was calling my mom Yes, you were but your mom was so busy. She felt it was important for you to have someone Who could completely focus on listening to you and you alone?
[00:42:24] So she subscribed to our service go ahead i'm listening. Well, i'm not quite sure where to start Well, I can listen to school issues like science projects I can listen to boy problems although that's an extra three dollars per call because of the emotional drain on me
[00:42:37] How about we start with how you wish you had made cheerleader? I didn't try out for cheerleader Um, this isn't uh, mary kerry I'm kerry. Oh, oh Sorry, there is no substitute for a loving parent and when you really listen love is what they'll hear
[00:42:53] From the church of jesus christ of latterday saints for more tips on strengthening your family visit family dot mormon.org The folks coming up at the top of the third and final hour dr kevin mcdonnell to back one of our
[00:43:23] Most frequently interviewed guests in the history of the program, but it will be his first appearance this year. I looked at the
[00:43:30] Schedule and was aghast but that's how busy we've been that's how busy we've been normally you couldn't go two months without hearing kevin on the show and To my detriment we've gone seven uh this uh this year so far, but uh, we're gonna get kevin back on tonight
[00:43:44] We've got some really interesting topics and an unbelievable poll Uh that we'll have kevin The touch on that touches on issues of um the holocaust and what people are thinking about that now So that's coming up in the third hour
[00:44:04] And we'll ask kevin some questions uh that we asked our first hour guest and see if we get a different perspective and Uh or some similarities But anyway, well we're talking about in the last segment some of the things that were recently published in american free press and
[00:44:18] Barnes review and some forthcoming items that we'll have in the american free press and barns review And it just continues to be an honor to work with these uh with these folks And so yes that being said
[00:44:34] Circling back to something a listener said last week about how we the guests that we have on can't believe we have Certain guests on and certainly we have had a lot of guests over the years that you wouldn't expect would appear on A program that is so outspokenly
[00:44:50] pro-white But the thing is these ideas are normalizing and we played a role in that there's no doubt about it But it's one thing to have guests on Named guests a celebrity guest whatever you want to call them Doing it without
[00:45:08] Sacrificing your position on the issues. That's the key and that's the thing that i'm most proud about It's not that we've had on this person this person talk to these people to work with these people that we've done it unapologetically and without having to
[00:45:20] Trim ourselves and that is how you lead You bring people to your ideas because you're confident in them and you have no reason To back away from them and they can either get on board or not or there can even be some disagreements on certain issues
[00:45:35] But you can come together on the areas that you do have agreement On and work together on those and that's how you build a functioning Movement that can deliver results And that's what we're trying to do and that reminds me of our ongoing
[00:45:53] Special series that we are featuring intermittently this year the tpc at 20 retrospective series We're not doing that tonight, but next week we will get back in And this has been fun for me to do with you keith to revisit some of these classic interviews and
[00:46:10] Take them piece by piece and infuse real-time current reaction and response and observations to some of these interviews like what the ones we've done so far this year We're doing it once a month drew lackey anthony kumia zelchko glass novich
[00:46:27] Walter jones the first sitting u.s. congressman that ever appeared on the program actor sonny landom donald trump jr Those are the ones we've done the first six months of the year
[00:46:35] We got six more to do you got your mic now george wallis jr. Don't forget you know Well, we haven't featured him this year in this particular series, but yes
[00:46:42] I mean we've had a lot more obviously and more that we will get to we're only halfway through this series We're one hour per month We go back and look at some of these interviews over the last 20 years
[00:46:52] We get people that other people either don't want or can't don't even think of to interview I think don't even think of And it's not they don't think of them because they have nothing to contribute they have information that the media and the
[00:47:08] Establishment in america does not want propagated to the people and We're the people that find those people and get them to Make a record of their opinions their insights And what their take was on various and sundry's very important issues in our history and this is
[00:47:30] This is indispensable quite frankly. There's no one else doing it. Oh well and but we also find interesting people For a reason like you mentioned the george wallis junior interview who has interviewed the son of george wallis about
[00:47:47] You know for instance elvis's support of george wallis, you know We talked about that the last time we did revisit that interview which wasn't part of this ongoing 20th anniversary retrospective series We just did it randomly a year or two ago
[00:47:58] And the whole new movie about elvis has him as this radical integrationist and Left winger and History of the civil war. I just did a presentation before a southern son's confederate veterans group
[00:48:12] About the true causes of the civil war. They have a narrative about the civil war. It's all about race It's all about slavery same thing about elvis. He was all about race and all about
[00:48:23] Civil rights and certainly he had black members in his band. I mean, you know, obviously and they did not hate black people But then on the other hand they are lying to you trying to make you think Something other than what the truth of
[00:48:36] Of these particular historic events or historic people were and we Do away with that we we pulled down the iron curtain basically and let people know The truth about well, I mean, you know elvis
[00:48:49] Had a hit record singing dixie for god's sake now. Fortunately also sings battle him with the republic in that particular trilogy, but Yes, and the fact that he supported george wallis Nobody's reported on that, you know
[00:49:02] Had george wallis for president signed up in the front yard of grace offered The uh, the lisa marie his private jet to the governor and his family anytime they wanted to go anywhere So at the height of wallis's popularity as a segregationist so that's uh
[00:49:19] That's all the stuff over the 20 years. These are just some of the conversations we've had One more thing a lot of people are celebrating anniversaries now I think I don't know if we've made that a trend but i but it's I think people should pause and celebrate milestones
[00:49:33] Because it's very difficult to make it. It's very difficult to do what we do financially speaking and I was on the counter currents They had their fourth uh 14th anniversary live stream a couple of weeks back and I was on with syan and
[00:49:47] In greg johnson and had a good time celebrating that with them. The the barn's review is now doing a special 30th year anniversary uh publication Later this fall and we're going to have some stuff in that
[00:50:00] The uh sam dixon is going to write a tribute to willis cardo Who was the founder and the publisher the original founder and publisher of both the american free press back in the 70s
[00:50:10] It was called the spotlight back then they uh rebranded and changed their name to american free press in the early 2000s But he was also the founder of the barn's review. It's going to be celebrating the 30th anniversary. They were formed in 1994
[00:50:20] So not quite as old as the as the spotlight american free press We really need to have people focusing on the predecessors the people that slogged through and kept the flame alive
[00:50:31] Back in the 50s 60s 70s and whatnot before the internet before it was easy to get this type of information out Uh thank heavens for the internet, but before that the people that did it made a great sacrifice
[00:50:44] And they need to be recognized because they kept the eternal flame burning Halfway through this year you look at it off to a quick start down there in orlando
[00:50:55] We mentioned with steve king uh early in the year and then we had the valentine's day show and then a couple of weeks after that We were into march around the world, which was just its best
[00:51:04] Rendition ever this year confederate history month. Those are two very intense and comprehensive months very busy Then you get into may we had our 20th anniversary conference in may. We've been talking about it
[00:51:16] June and late june and early july we've had these trips in the last couple of weeks great interviews every week on the program So it's it's certainly been busy, but i'll tell you this folks
[00:51:24] And i want to close this hour with this before we get to kevin mcdonald and finally get back to news I told you we were going to cover news this hour Fool jew
[00:51:34] I actually intended to but i think this is important too and the things i was going to talk about with keith I'm going to move over to kevin mcdonald, but i want to thank again everyone with a minute remaining this hour before
[00:51:42] We get back to news and current events with dr. McDonald. I want to thank you For everyone who supported tpc in the second quarter fundraising drive. It is very tough out there right now
[00:51:52] It's not that our contributions have gone down so much just how much more it cost to do the show Stamps are going up another five cents. Uh, that might not sound like a lot to you
[00:52:04] But to us it's the difference of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars when we do a mail out So 73 cents now almost a dollar to send a stamp it cost thousands of dollars just to fundraise
[00:52:14] And we're also taking the show up to a new level. We're trying to go out there and have more Face time with our audience and of course all that travel costs money It does and we are living off the land folks
[00:52:29] We've never received a bequest or a grant or anything like that. I guess it's because We haven't asked because we haven't sold out to the dark side Money from people who are alive much less people who aren't but you know, you can't take it with you
[00:52:43] I guess that's for sure But in any event the cost of doing this program has gone up dramatically in the last couple of years A dollar just doesn't take us as far as it used to in 2007 stamps for 41 cents
[00:52:56] This is just one thing you say 41 cents to 73 cents. That's not a big deal It is what you're talking about the kind of bulk that we're talking about the cost of producing the program
[00:53:05] Every cost imaginable printing cost the cost for incentives. We always want to send out a thoughtful gift I cannot receive something from you and not send you something back That's just my nature
[00:53:15] Nobody else sends out gifts for in returns for contributions of a certain level or more like we do every quarter I have to do that to to live with myself But the cost of everything have gone up. All right
[00:53:26] We are in a little bit of duress. I appreciate everyone who donated in the second quarter our standing is Not untenable, but it's it's it's always been touching go I mean it just always has been so if you are a listener of this program and
[00:53:42] And we see the numbers and so we know there's a lot of people listening who aren't contributors Thank you for everyone who does contribute if you have not contributed to this program in a while or perhaps even never before
[00:53:53] I know the cost of living is out of control. I think groceries have doubled in two years All of it the cost of running a show have increased also. Yes, that's right
[00:54:04] I had a friend of my wife did a walmart grocery order in january of 2022 two and a half years ago 188 dollars Did the exact same order on the fourth of july just push reorder same items nothing added nothing taken away
[00:54:20] Almost 400 dollars. I believe it. I believe that it's going up that much I I I I I see the bills when my wife goes that's why we need you to defeat Biden or whoever the democratic candidate is in the upcoming
[00:54:32] I get it folks things are tough out there You got to tighten your your your purse and if you're gonna do it You're not gonna your charitable giving is going to be the first thing to go But we need your help if your regular donor never donated
[00:54:43] We need your support to stay on the air It is just that simple and we'll be right back with kevin mcdonald next You
