[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.
[00:00:44] Why can't our romance just keep on chillin' this or defile? You know, the thing about that song, as we go live now to CPAC in Washington, D.C., pretty cool story there. Everybody thought that was Elvis. That was Terry Stafford, a one-hit wonder. Elvis did a version of that song, but it wasn't nearly as good. And he did it before this one came out.
[00:01:11] And this one went all the way to number three, and the Beatles held down the other, I think, top six spots there. In the spring of April 1964. There were a lot of Elvis sound likes. You had Conway Twitty. You had the guy that did Polk Saladani. What was his name? We don't have time right now. But anyway, all of these people. Anyway, yeah. Tony Joe White. That's who it was. That was a good one.
[00:01:38] And again, I know some people are still very suspicious of Trump and whether we agree or disagree with that. As long as we're all together at the end of the day, no matter who's right, that's what we want to strive for. We will let the current events play themselves out. So far, so good from my perspective. But let's take it to Scoop Stanton, our Washington, D.C. correspondent. He has been there on the ground at CPAC. I can remember, Scoop, back in the days 10 years ago, 15 years ago, you'd get your press credentials through either this program or this network.
[00:02:07] And people would go nuts. A little green footballs. It would be in the press. Now you're just there hanging out with the boys. How's it been? You've become a lion's tree. First of all, good evening, political accessible family. This is your Washington, D.C. correspondent, Peter Scoop Stanton. But anyways, real quick, you mentioned little green footballs. Where are they at compared to where we are at at this point? That's a good question. I don't know. Probably making a lot more money on George Soros. That's probably true.
[00:02:36] But I'll tell you what. You have had a good weekend. And I was telling people in the first hour, you were in the room today with President Trump, yesterday with Elon Musk. What has been the general feel at CPAC this year compared to those years? I can remember just how pathetic it was. You know, 10, 15 years ago, these young conservatives were clamoring to get a picture with Rick Santorum, these awful, awful, you know, Republicans. Rich Priebus. And now it seems like it's a whole new ballgame. But you're there. You've got your finger to the pulse. Report, Scoop. We're going to get out of your way. Okay.
[00:03:06] Well, first of all, the mood was much, much happier. Because like Tom Holman said and Steve Bannon said that Trump changed everything. So a lot of people, just unbelievable happiness everywhere. Everybody was just very polite. There were still a whole bunch of people that walking around. It's like, oh, there's so-and-so. I'm looking at that person like, who the hell is that? And, you know, we do this for a living.
[00:03:35] And, of course, you know, Sebastian Gorka, these other so-called conservatives are walking around. And, you know, they're being followed like members of the Rolling Stones. But I did see Elon Musk. He was absolutely hysterical. The guy's down to earth, and he's a genius. And what kills me is that these leftist, pink old America-hating commies, they hate the fact that they're going at, that Musk is going after fraud, waste, and abuse.
[00:04:01] Now, anybody that's been working for the government, the three biggest words is fraud, waste, and abuse. If you know fraud, waste, and abuse, report it. But obviously people report it, and nothing's been done. And so he brought down the house. The liberals, that's what the liberals live on, government largesse like that. And this is really hitting them where they live. Right. So anyways, Musk, he received a chainsaw from the president of Argentina, and the ball were nuts. And then after him, it was Steve Bannon.
[00:04:30] I was like, oh, my God. It was like a rock festival, like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. And so Bannon came out yelling and screaming. He said, fix your bayonets, you know, because, you know, we got to fight. So, of course, the mainstream media said that he did a Nazi salute. I was in the room. I didn't see a Nazi salute. I think he might have rubbed his nose or waved hello to somebody, but there's no Nazi salute. He did another one, they say, today or yesterday? No, this is yesterday. Yeah, right. Yesterday was Musk.
[00:05:01] Another one, though. Right. And Bannon. And then, you know, and then people say, well, they're saying, like, fight and fix your bayonets. Well, they're not. Nobody's going to nobody's going to go get their weapons or firearms and start cleaning their clean the barrels. I mean, it's fight. It's a it's a it's information war. So anyways, that kind of rhetoric. I mean, that was Buchanan pitchforks peasants with pitchforks. I mean, that goes that's time immemorial.
[00:05:28] But anyway, let's let me do a rapid fire segment here with you on questions, because I'm sure people want to know. We all hear the hustle and bustle. You are live on the floor at CPAC right now. If people listen when you're speaking in the background, you can hear the folks behind you. And this is still a very happening place. But yeah, Trump spoke today. Musk yesterday. How many how many days have you been there and who all have you seen? I've been there. I've been here since Thursday from like nine in the morning till about five, six at night. I did see Musk. I did see Steve Bannon. I did see President Trump.
[00:06:03] The phrases fixed the blank, the S word. I was like, he must be a fan of La Duff. I saw a bunch of other people I didn't particularly care about. The prime minister of Italy spoke. She was boring. And then the young lady, the congresswoman from New York, who's the who's going to be the UN ambassador. She's kind of spoke kind of, you know, conservatively like I wasn't paying attention. But no, she she's a Caucasian female. But nice lady.
[00:06:30] But anyways, I really didn't get into the ballroom because, of course, anybody goes to CPAC. The action is on Radio Row. And once again, I was squatting on Radio Row. I was I took up a table. Nobody was sitting there. So I set up for a living round table and this night, this wonderful young lady came up and she had a text that said, you know, you can't be here. This is reserved. I was like, oh, damn. So I went to. Well, now, just just to be.
[00:06:59] Yeah, just to be clear here. So Scoop has press credentials as an official member of the press. But we didn't want to spring necessarily for him to have a table. So that worked. So he is doing his freelancing. Well, no, well, I mean, he's reporting for Sam Bushman's show. He's reporting here on this show. He's reporting network wide. And, of course, on seven, five radio coming up after TPC, what we affectionately refer to as our fourth hour here on the radio.
[00:07:24] Scoop's going to be doing, I'm sure, a full show with Walt and the gang on his week at CPAC. But no, he's reporting network wide as a credentialed member of the press. And they don't just give those away. But he does have the press credentials and it has given him access to all the things we're talking about tonight. So now I do have it on good authority that you ran into a friend of ours on Radio Row today. What can you tell us about that? Which one? Well, you know the one.
[00:07:52] Oh, our friend from Lindell's outfit? Correct. Oh, yeah. I met Lauren Witsky. I forgot how to pronounce her name. But she was working over at Lindell's outfit. And the lady was working her behind off where I was during, like, for the past three days I was on Sam's show. And I just let the guests just do their thing. And Sam did this thing. So I was texting you.
[00:08:19] And, of course, our 75 radio spokesmodel and Walter and Mike. So I saw Lauren. And I said, hey, how you doing? I'm a friend of James Edwards. I'm the D.C. correspondent for the cesspool. And she wanted to take a selfie. Meanwhile, she's working with Lindell. I don't know how Mike Lindell sleeps. Because in a matter of minutes, I was just staying there, just, you know, wanted to talk to her. He was talking to a lady about some media stuff. And then he was talking about signing a book for somebody and giving Lauren some marching orders.
[00:08:49] And she's working her tail off. I'm like, good God almighty. He's like, this is the guy who sells pillows, sheets, and blankets. And he's running like a media empire. And so I was really impressed how Lindell just had that drive. And, you know, he's no youngster. And, of course, Lauren, she couldn't have been any nicer. So in the middle of all this stuff with Lindell, you know, she took time to talk to other people and then talked to me, took a selfie with me, followed me on Twitter. Really, really nice lady.
[00:09:19] Also very cute. She's a good-time girl. And she's rowdy, as I told you. And I love Lauren. And what's funny about this, folks, is that I was getting ready to take my son to his basketball game today. My wife and I were loading up the car. And I got a text message out of the blue from Lauren. And it's a selfie of her with scoop. So I was like, well, I'll be damned. You know, you never know what you're going to get in that. You know, when you have these. Beauty and the beast.
[00:09:47] But, you know, I'll say she is working with Mike Lindell. And Lindell was right there, right there, side by side at the booth, just talking to the folks. Right, Scoop? I mean, you know, as you said, he's a pretty big guy. Right. And then he had a sign up that says, hey, if you take a selfie with Mike Lindell, put us on social media. So he's very approachable. But, you know, I credit ourselves because even though Mike Lindell is a celebrity, this, that, and other thing, you know, I was there to talk to one of his people.
[00:10:17] And he kind of looked at me like he probably thought I want to talk to him since I had my immediate credentials on me. And plus I was very appropriately dressed thanks to Mrs. Rodriguez. You look sharp. I got to tell you, you look very good in that selfie she said. You look sharp. Right. Straight up. But once again, the credit goes to our spokesman, Mrs. Rodriguez, who is a model, knows fashion. But, you know, I've learned from her, so I don't have to bother her as much. I still bother the hell out of her, poor lady.
[00:10:45] But, you know, this is, you know, if I'm going someplace like CPAC or Black Tie Affair, this is what I'm wearing, you know, because, you know, the tie, the wrong stone tie is, you know, me. All right. So Mike Lindell saw you approaching Lauren and was wondering, hey, you know, you're supposed to be approaching me. Now, they're great people both of them. We'll be right back.

[00:12:57] All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to bring on in just a moment Sonny Thomas. He is another talk radio personality and also has a network that further syndicates TBC. He's been fighting the good fight for years now. Sonny is a great guy and a great commentator.
[00:13:25] We're going to get to him on a wide variety of topics. But before we do, we're going to go back to Scoop Stanton, who is live in the Washington, D.C. area tonight at CPAC. He's on the floor. You hear CPAC. Live and full of jive. You hear CPAC taking place around him and behind him and in front of him in the background. So, Scoop, Sonny had a good question during the break. I guess it was you, Keith. Who's made the biggest splash so far at CPAC? Who was the standout? Well, obviously, it's going to be President Trump.
[00:13:58] You know, talking about his accomplishment, as always, making fun of Joe Biden, making fun of Kamala Harris. So, of course, he also mentioned the January 6th people. And so it's a typical Trump speech. It was like an hour and ten minutes. Did he say anything? Did he foreshadow anything before you move on to Musk or anybody else that made a particular impact on you? Did Trump say anything? I haven't seen the speech yet. I know it just happened today. He said what's his next move. Yeah.
[00:14:28] Did he say anything about what his next move may be? Well, his next move is to get the minerals out of Ukraine. He's sick and tired of giving all this money to Ukraine. And then Elon Musk, not Elon Musk, Zelensky says, hey, he didn't get all the billions of dollars that we sent him. What's he taking a foxtrot? He's like, I'm sick of that. I said, and he said, we're going to get the minerals and we're going to get a loan because everybody in Europe, it's a loan. They're going to get repaid back.
[00:14:56] Whereas the U.S., they're just going to be just giving them money for no particular reason. So he's not happy with Putin. Well, Putin has said he wants those rare earth minerals now. I heard that the other day. Who wouldn't? I bet. Well, supposedly Trump is going to meet with Putin late in May. But he also said he wants to send these people back to either their home country or Gitmo, those illegal aliens. And so, I mean, just a typical Trump speech. He made fun of people. He's funny.
[00:15:25] He went off the teleprompter. He praised Elon Musk, you know, right off a whole bunch of money that he's found, including, like, we got people, you know, older than this country with Social Security numbers, you know. And he's like, what the hell is going on? So, anyway. Well, very interesting.
[00:15:46] And, again, Scoop was texting me pictures with Trump in the shot and proximity to where Scoop was, very close, with his press credentials. And this was – and, of course, you know, the thing with Ukraine – we'll get into this with Sonny, too, in just a moment. But, you know, that's a very – geopolitically, that is a very convoluted thing. I mean, that was all part of Russia until, what, you know, 40 years ago? So, I mean, come on. Let's get real. But, all right, keep going. Let's go to Musk.
[00:16:12] And anybody else who stood out on anything else you want to share about your experience at CPAC, people you met, things you heard, things you saw? What's the most memorable thing that's happened to you? The most memorable thing was meeting the people at CPAC. My friend, Alessandra Griffith, who got me here at this after party doing live radio, I met a whole bunch of people. I finally met 75 Radio guest Christopher Martini, who directed the movie The Man Who Wasn't There,
[00:16:40] who's a friend of Barry Morgenstein, who is one of the most very, very famous photographers. He took a selfie with me Friday, and the selfie looked great. I was like, oh, my God, this guy does miracles with the cell phone with my face. I met him. I met this other guy, Ian Trottier, who's a podcaster. I met this other guy, John – I call him Johnny Three Phones because this guy walks around on three phones.
[00:17:10] This guy is like Brian Mills from Taken and Jack Reacher at the same time. And I'm not going to say on the air what he's done, but he's not one of these guys – because you know how you meet people and they embellish their accomplishments and do whatever they do? This guy was talking about it like he's returning a wrench at Lowe's. I'm like, wow.
[00:17:33] I also met this other guy with the FBI, and they were all working together talking about this very corrupt government official. So, again, I'm not at liberty to say I don't want to spill the beans, but these guys are working on a story, a book, a movie about this very corrupt official. And it's like, oh, my God. Has there ever been a president of the United States more corrupt than Joe Biden? He'd be my guest. I don't know, Lincoln. This guy is pretty close.
[00:18:02] And hopefully this guy, if he does get charged by the FBI for his crimes, hopefully he flips. Well, I was like, oh, my God. But also just a great bunch of people because here I am meeting these people for the very first time. They don't know me from a bag of Adam. From Adam's house cat, as we say down here. Right. And they just treated me like one of their own. So, sitting there telling me all this stuff. And, of course, I'm keeping my mouth shut.
[00:18:32] But I said, you know, once you guys get this up and running, I want you on our network. Also, I met a very nice lady, Martha Byrne. Her husband was a retired NYPD sergeant. He was injured in the line of duty. He became a private investigator. So, what he did, he got a job from a so-called Chinese translator to look up some information on this other guy who is a Chinese criminal.
[00:18:59] So, he got the information, reported it, and that was it. This occurred in 2016. 2020, he gets charged by the FBI and the feds for being a foreign agent without registering. Whatever Elon Musk did with Burisma, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world. So, I was listening to this lady. My jaw just dropped. I'm like, there's no crime that occurred. There's no intent. There's no probable cause.
[00:19:26] And the poor man was found guilty in federal court because he wanted to go to trial. They offered him a plea deal. I think they either wanted him to flip or wanted to make an example of this guy. But here he is, a retired sergeant from the 4-3 anti-crime unit, the 4-3 precinct up in the Bronx. He's in the South Bronx. Horrible neighborhood. I know it personally. Anti-crime is the cops that other cops call to pick up the bad guy. So, this guy was a hero.
[00:19:53] And then he's just doing, you know, just a private citizen doing a private investigation, looking up somebody. And then he gets railroaded. So, Ms. Byrne was on Sam's show and just actually killed it today. But, you know, just the camaraderie from... Yeah, go ahead. Wrap it up. No, no. The camaraderie. I mean, I have enjoyed, you know, reading all of this, your report through text message and talking to you tonight. Scoop has been reporting network-wide on a variety of programming here at Liberty News Radio.
[00:20:23] Sam Bushman's show, the Liberty Roundtable. Obviously, TPC tonight. Stay tuned. Right after our show, we go straight into Scoop's show, 7-5 Radio. More from CPAC then. And we'll try to even put Scoop back on before the end of the show tonight in the third hour. But I tell you, you know you've gone mainstream when the press doesn't even complain about TPC guys getting press credentials to CPAC anymore. I want to bring Sonny Thomas on. Before you go, Scoop, as we transition into Sonny for the remainder of this hour. Sonny, do you have a question for Scoop?
[00:20:51] Anything about CPAC you'd like to know before we toss it over to you, my friend? I have not seen the Trump speech, but watching the clips of Elon and Malay giving him the chainsaw. And I was just like, oh, dude. It's like, I could just see this song. He used to be playing in the background as Lumberjack by Jagal. I'm a Lumberjack, baby! Na, na, na, na, na. I think you would Scoop would like the same music, Sonny, truth be known. Oh, dude. I even tweeted that out to Elon.
[00:21:17] I said, this should be your theme song as you chop a block or something with the words on it to say government waste, government fraud or deficit, as you chop it with your 80s shade on playing Lumberjack by Jagal. Scoop, you got a comment to that? Well, I'm not a particular fan of Jagal in a particular song, Sonny. My musical taste goes back to the 60s and 70s. Like on our show, Sunfire Radio, we intro with how many more times by Led Zeppelin.
[00:21:46] Then we go out the Almond Brothers band in with the Robin Trower and so on and so forth. But anyway, you got to have the outlaws, brother. Right. I love the outlaws. And you need to have the who. We won't be fooled again. That's right. Sonny, you got a question? Anything you want to ask Scoop? We're coming up here on the break. The last 30 minutes, we're going to skip the break in the last. Liz, we'll skip that floater break between segments three and four this hour to make up a little bit of time with Sonny.
[00:22:15] We certainly want to do that. But, Sonny, you got a question? Any question or comment for Scoop before we let him go? No, I've actually wanted to go see PAC off and on myself over the years, especially when Ron Paul was there when he was running for president. But I've heard a lot of people have gone there, talked about how, you know, CPAC is very neoconish in many different ways. We'll come up with Lou Moore. Yeah. We will. But the thing is, is that it has changed a lot in tone over the years.
[00:22:42] But from what you see, and I don't know how many years you may have been there covering it, Scoop, but have you noticed the times are changing, as they say, when it comes to CPAC? Yes. Before every, you know, of course, there's a lot of people supporting Israel, but, you know, a lot of Jewish people, but it wasn't like, you know, kissing the took us at Israel. And the Christian sycophants. Right. Yeah.
[00:23:07] You know, I hung out with Barry Morgenstein, and, you know, yeah, he's Jewish, but, you know, that's it. He's not, you know, of course, I had Ben Shapiro there, which, of course, I did not see because, but nobody likes Ben Shapiro. It's all Trump. It's all close to the border. Get that oil. There's no Rick Santorum. There's no very, very few Cucks served. So it's got a lot less homosexual. No Paul Ryan. Right. Oh, yeah. No.
[00:23:36] We didn't have that guy dressed up as a chick with the platform shoes running around. What was her name? Or his name? Like put the lotion in the basket type of thing. Right. So it was, you know, very, very dynamic, Eric. You didn't see as many nut jobs as you did years past. Also, this year, you had a ton of people from January 6th.
[00:24:04] They, you know, they love Donald Trump. Yeah, but they got pushed out. What's the story behind that? They got pushed out of the event. Well, no, that was years past. But this year, they were everywhere. And at the Trump speed, it was like a whole cheering section. And then Trump mentioned January 6th and the whole, that section of the ballroom went hog wild. So, and those guys from January 6th, those people are railroaded.
[00:24:32] They're treated like mass murderers. And what they did, they took the best years of their lives and ruined it. The music's playing. We're coming back with Sonny. Scoop, thank you so much. A quick yes or no question. Any good-looking women there? Of course. It's CPAC. Why do you think he hangs around there from 5 in the morning to 5? How would you like to help this program reach more people and earn silver at the same time? Call or text 801-669-2211 for complete details.
[00:25:00] News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Jason Walker. Strong words from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He says the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners now delayed until the release of the next hostages has been assured and without the humiliating ceremonies at handovers of Israeli captives in Gaza. One year ago, Donald Trump was a candidate speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference asking for support.
[00:25:28] Today he was back saying thank you. He also says several polls indicate popular support. Our approval rating is now the highest ever across all demographics. Rob Moussin just came out at 56 percent. Insider Advantage, 56. RMG Research, 57 percent. And we have many polls in the mid-60s. One at 71 percent. We like that. Mr. Trump's speech concludes the annual CPAC convention in Maryland.
[00:25:57] Also at townhall.com, Justice Department filing a complaint accusing a federal judge in Washington of misconduct during the hearings over the president's executive order that calls for banning transgender troops from serving in the armed forces. Here's Ken Lorman.
[00:26:14] The complaint filed by Attorney General Pam Bondi's chief of staff accuses U.S. District Judge Anna Reyes of inappropriately questioning a government lawyer about his religious beliefs and then trying to embarrass the attorney with a rhetorical exercise during an exchange about discrimination. It's seeking an investigation saying appropriate action should be taken to ensure that future hearings are conducted with the dignity and impartiality the public has a right to expect.
[00:26:43] A representative from the judges' chambers declined to comment. Ken Lorman reporting. Just a terrible day for law enforcement officers in America. Three police officers have been shot and killed. More on these stories at townhall.com. You hear the term living better. What do you think about? More money? A bigger house? Maybe a yacht?

[00:30:29] Every time I tell Keith Sonny Thomas is coming on the show, he starts and does not relent on making sure that we intro Sonny with that particular number. That is his theme song just like My Way is Frank Sinatra's. Well, the one and only Sonny Thomas is back with us right now. Sonny is a radio man in his own right, as we mentioned.
[00:30:54] And through his own work, the message of TPC is taken to a wider and expanded audience. So Sonny, before we get started, say hello and let folks know where they can find you and your outlet. Well, I'm Sonny Thomas. I am the founder and operator of Resolution Radio. And we've recently switched platforms because the previous platform had decided to finally close shop after all these years.
[00:31:22] And I'm having to work on the web address again. But you can follow us on resolutionrdo.podbean.com. And if you want to follow me on various social media, you can follow me on Getter, Gab, Twitter, Truth Social, Wimkin, and Telegram at Sonny Thomas Show. And all those, again, as well, except on Twitter at ResolutionRDO1 for Resolution Radio. So my show, the Sonny Thomas Show, is usually on Thursdays. Political cesspool airs on Fridays.
[00:31:50] And we have many other programs as well. We have American Dissident Voices. We also have what we call 2A Tuesdays where we feature a lot of pro-Second Amendment shows such as Forge of Freedom is actually our most recent show from an attorney based in Indiana, Mike Uley. Firearm Trainers Podcast from Rob Beckman, who's a firearms trainer here in the Cincinnati area. And we also feature other programs there on the Resolution Radio Network.
[00:32:19] So we're constantly trying to add some stuff, and people that may want to try their hand at doing podcasting, feel free to reach out to me because I love to help get your show and put it on Resolution Radio. Sonny, you've also done some work in television that might interest some people. Yes. Starting in high school, I was doing radio and TV broadcasting, and I had started learning some of the stuff there. I was a program director for my college-formatted high school radio station. We also reported to CMJ every week at the time.
[00:32:49] And I also did my hand at some TV stuff, and I was also on cable access. And I also would feature some programs there here in the southwest Ohio area. And we actually featured many speeches from different programs. So, for example, I had featured some speeches from Ameren on there. And two of my favorite was Philip DeWinter and Anka Vendemish at one of their presentations a number of years ago back-to-back. And I really enjoyed it.
[00:33:16] And sometimes when they go to play those in the after hours, they'll often play those two speeches together. So, I have one version together, two of them separated. But many times they play the one back-to-back because it feels better block. But any given time, day or night, on cable access, they help promote stuff. They help support our people and get the message out about why we need to fight the globalists and win this battle. Well, I'll tell you what. You mentioned Philip and Anka. I should say, if you ever get a chance to meet those two, I don't know how you would do it. But certainly take advantage of it.
[00:33:46] I've got a picture of them, me, and James in downtown Memphis. That's right. That was a few years ago. If you ever get a chance in the future, take advantage of it, folks. Now, that said, I want to read this to you. Sonny, and thank you again for your work as a stand-alone. Your work is wonderful. And thank you also, in addition to that, for taking us and our work to an expanded audience through your network and your outlets.
[00:34:12] So I want to turn the last – we're going to skip the break before the final hour. And I want to give you a wide berth, Sonny, to talk about anything you want to talk about, your reaction to the first month of Trump 2.0, Israel, anything in the news. But I'm going to first read this from William S. Lind, and I'll ask you to respond to what I'm about to read and then take it in a direction of your choosing. And Lind, for your – he is a – Political theorist.
[00:34:41] And a specialist in warfare. He's the one who came up with the idea of fourth-generation warfare. He is an old – he is a one-man think tank, William S. Lind, old-school guy. And at traditionalright.com, which is his website, his latest article is entitled Trump's Blitzkrieg. I'll read just the opening and closing paragraphs and then turn it over to Sonny for the remainder of the hour. This is William S. Lind's take on Trump, and we're trying to bring on a wide variety of opinions on Trump thus far.
[00:35:11] William S. Lind writes,
[00:36:22] And then William S. Lind concludes his article with this. All of this leaves the establishment like the French in 1940, always reacting too late and with too little. My advice to the president is keep up the tempo. Sonny, what is your reaction to Trump in these early days, and what topics would you like to focus on? And how would you respond to William S. Lind's summation there?
[00:36:48] I definitely agree with what he's saying because he's – basically Trump has learned from the left that you have to ambush him from all angles. It's like the movie The Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sonny Land, our good friend Sonny. Sonny. Yeah, that's right. Sonny Land. So, I mean, you know, he's talking about – it's like, I kept on a single track. They were firing in all directions. You know, it's like, yeah, that's exactly what we need to be. Great movie. We need to completely surround them and then just go at it from all angles, but they can never –
[00:37:15] they never realize that we're playing on a 3D platform and they're on a 1D dimension. So that's the whole idea. So I think a lot of things he's done is actually really good. And, you know, like what you – I've listened to your other guests on the show recently talking about their takes on Trump, you know, male perspective, female perspective. But more importantly, I think he's done a lot. I mean, let's be frank here. He learned from his mistakes.
[00:37:40] He got screwed last time by trusting the wrong people, put too many neocons in there, too many Jews. The biggest problem is is that Trump knows he only has two years to really make things work. And if he's going to do it and make America great again, he has to act now and really secure what legacy he may try to create for himself. Alex Jones often references Trump as George Washington 2.0, and I said, no, you're mistaken. I said he's Teddy Roosevelt 2.0 because when you really look at how Teddy Roosevelt was –
[00:38:10] Good point. That's how Trump is. Big time. So I think Trump knows he has to hit hard and hit fast. He's seven, eight years old. You know, he's got to get – he's seen firsthand what happens when the deep state went after him. And he has – this time he has an opportunity. He's looked at the talent of all these individuals. I mean, think about this. A huge list of individuals that are all respectful in their backgrounds.
[00:38:34] I mean, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Cash Patel is striking beer in the hearts, Pam Bondi. I mean, he's really – Are these people all – are these all Agenda 2020? 25 people that have been talent scouted by that group? I was wondering how he got together such a, you know, a group that's so effective in, you know, working in tandem with him.
[00:39:02] Some of them, like Tulsi Gabbard, who's consistently come out on – because one thing that's always impressed me about her is, if you notice, she's very common collect. She has grace under fire. More importantly, she has served her country, and she's a lieutenant colonel. You don't get that way because you're a slouch. You get that way because you're a patriot. And so I've always been impressed by her. And so just some of these people by their own merits, Trump has noticed.
[00:39:25] Plus, you have other political stalwarts such as Roger Stone, who, you know, he's been in these social circles for decades. I mean, he was Nixon's right-hand man in many ways. I mean, he was also with Ronald Reagan. I mean, he's been through the political cesspool and knows what exactly what it's like and know what to do. Plus the fact that, let's be quite frank, Alex Jones has also been a major factor in this, too, because he's exposed to Gullibus' plan. He's exposed what a lot of these guys are doing.
[00:39:54] And he's pointed out a lot of pros and cons, and he knows their ballgame. So as much as people may want to, you know, laugh at him or just dismiss him, he is a force to be reckoned with. And not to mention, he's an inspiration for many of us podcasters because of the fact that we learned that we want to have a voice of our own, and he's an inspiration. And I've always said, and I've sent this program, too, if anything happens to Alex Jones or Andrew Anglin, there is no freedom of speech on the Internet.
[00:40:18] So we have to make sure we support independent media, whether it's political cesspool, whether it's the Resolution Radio, whatever the case may be. We support us because of the fact that our opinions count, but we may eventually find other talented individuals that will step up and maybe lead the charge. I mean, you know the general rule in the Army. If you sound the call, you better lead the charge. And if you're going to lead the charge, be an Alexander. Don't be a long shank and be in the back of the Army.
[00:40:46] Be in the front of the Army and lead it, because your men will follow you. Well, you gave me a reference. I can't believe it. It was that Alexander, but very good. Yeah, be a Keith Alexander, lead from the front. Yeah, that's right. Just like Forrest or General IES. General Forrest said attack both ways. What about IES, Alexander? What can you tell us about that guy? Well, he got under the right man. He was in Forrest, 15 Tennessee Calvary. That was your guy. Yeah, great-grandfather.
[00:41:15] There you go. So it goes back to that. Now, the negatives on Trump are this. I'm concerned because of that. Yeah, let's do the but. Let's do the but. Let's be – I don't want to use the Fox News, Neocon, Fair and Balance, but I also – I want to be – Accurate. Well, I just – I want to be thorough. And, you know, we will call good things and bad things, and we want to avoid sycophancy. We'll call us fade a dirty shovel. We want to avoid sycophancy for sure by painting the complete picture.
[00:41:44] So, Sonny, give us the other side. Well, we definitely call balls and strikes on this too. So let's just go and look at the 90% that he's done is done phenomenal, and I think he's definitely going to make a name for himself that's going to last for generations. We'll remember him like Will Roosevelt, and we're talking Teddy, not Franklin. So – I hope so. I hope so. That's right. In some respects, I think FDR was worse than Lincoln, in my opinion, because he really destroyed his country in many ways, stole our wealth and everything else,
[00:42:13] but that's all another topic for discussion. Sold out to the Jews more than anyone since Woodrow Wilson. Lincoln only ruined America. Roosevelt ruined the world. Yeah, well, it was not that, but all of them got us into the war, so it never should have happened in the first place. But as far as the cons, we've already seen some stuff where he's already genuflecting to the Jews, and some of it is because over $230,473,622 were sent to him
[00:42:43] from independent expenditures and campaign contributions from pro-Israel groups. So he obviously has some debts to pay on that. We've already seen him try to sign some anti-Semitism bills. He's already trying to take funding away from schools that allow this. They saw a recent post where a Chinese person going to school was going to be deported because they were doing a pro-Palestine protest out in the open like everybody else. And I said, why is it that they'll go arrest someone who's pro-Palestine
[00:43:12] but not someone who's pro-Israel? In my view, you pro or con for any country, especially if you're a traitor to this country. I mean, let's say, my biggest thing here is, I think anyone that has dual citizenship, especially Jews, like Chuck Schumer and all these other guys, should not be allowed to be appointed or elected to public office because they cannot serve two masters. Yeah, that's a disqualifier. It really should be. Ted Cruz, I mean, when he was running for president, before he got into the Senate,
[00:43:41] he realized he was a dual citizen because he was actually born in Canada and he got that rescinded. I'm sorry, it doesn't matter. The sins of the father go on to the son on this because of the fact that you are not an American citizen full right. So you should not be allowed to run for president. Well, the main thing is that Israel and their proxies, their versions of NGOs, they need to have to register as a foreign agent. A foreign agent, yes. Not only that, but I think as the JFK paper is getting ready to drop,
[00:44:10] we've already heard some stuff recently. Recently in Alex Jones, he dropped a tape from a guy that was recorded in 1972 that basically completely implicated LBJ as being behind JFK's murder because he had most benefit from it. And then the people that were behind it, the CIA, the mob, as well as Mossad, actually executed it. And I think a lot of those files showed that. And Mossad was a prime mover in it, and that was because Ben Gurion wanted to continue developing
[00:44:39] the atomic bomb for Israel at the Damona facility in the Negev Desert. Yes, he wanted nukes from JFK, and JFK told him to go fly a kite. So that was the first step, plus the fact that he signed an executive order which essentially abolished the Federal Reserve, which still stands, by the way. And he was actually having the Treasury put out United States dollars, and you can still find them these days. It says United States dollar on it instead of a Federal Reserve note,
[00:45:08] and it also has red seal numbers instead of green. I actually have two of them myself. So I think Trump is going to do that because of the fact that if he wants to abolish the IRS, the IRS is the collection wing of the Federal Reserve. If you're going to get rid of the federal income tax, which is a start from Wilson, and you want to abolish the IRS, then you have to end the Fed. I mean, Ron Paul is probably so getting in his seat right now because he's forgotten more about the Fed than you and I ever know.
[00:45:36] Listen, I said this, Sonny. I mean, you're right. And, of course, Elon Musk has publicly floated on more than one occasion that he would like to see Ron Paul appointed the head of the Fed. So I... That'd be the shortest appointment ever. He'd abolish it the next day. That's exactly what Lou Moore told me. Lou Moore was Ron Paul's campaign manager for his historic 2008 run. Lou has become a very good friend of this radio program, a regular guest on the air.
[00:46:01] He's just an incredible guy, a prescient prognosticator of American politics. And I love... You need to have him on your show. I love Lou, and I love learning from Lou. And I texted Lou that headline. It was just back in the news this week about Ron Paul being, you know, appointed the head of the Fed. And he said, well, that would be the... As Keith said, that was his exact reply. It'd be the shortest career in American politics. He'd shut it down the first day. But just the fact that these things are happening, just the fact that these things are happening...
[00:46:30] And here's the thing that you've got to remember. And I've said this. We are only a month into this thing. And you look at all the good. So much good has happened. Certainly more good in the last month than in my 44 years of life to this date coming from an American president. That is no hyperbole. That is no exaggeration. It is... If anything, I'm not stating it strongly enough. But it has only been a month. It is almost unimaginable to consider how much more could be done with the left
[00:47:00] totally on its heels as a result of this political blitzkrieg that William S. Lindbergh was writing about. How much more can be done over the course of the next two years before the midterms and then assuming the Republicans continue to win the next four years? I was going to say it has to be done the first two years. And that's why, you know, you can't rely on having four years. But anyway, I'm just saying if he continues at this pace... You have to admit that's pretty damn good coming from a Yankee from New York. Hey, listen, ain't that the truth?
[00:47:28] Don't believe I didn't recognize that. But I got to say, if it's been this much good in the first month, what more can we expect? I mean, it almost baffles the imagination. But I got to ask you, Sonny, because, Sonny, you see this very objectively. And again, there are people on our side in our pro-white advocacy that sees no wrong from the president, some who see no right, some who see varying shades and... Shades of gray like the monkey says.
[00:47:56] To the, you know, the varying degrees of rightness or wrongness. Where do you stand right now in the grades that you would give this administration? You have a very discerning eye and a very objective... I would definitely say, to quote the song, The Wider Shade of Pale, I would give Trump a good 90% right now because of the fact that I think he's done a lot of good. But when it comes to stuff with Israel and everything else, I mean, still allowing Netanyahu to come over and speak to our Congress is unacceptable.
[00:48:26] The guy's a work criminal. He should be charged as much. And more importantly is his position on the Gaza situation is unacceptable. He's talking about going to turn it into a Riviera, basically for rich views. It's not going to happen. You realize this is one of his typical red herrings that he tosses out there? I'm sure. Well, let's hope. We'll see. But he could be totally wrong about that and right about everything else. One doesn't have to be mutually exclusive from the other. I mean, would you... Sonny, your take on whether or not everything good coming out is just some sort of a trick
[00:48:56] that's being pulled on us by the powers that be? I don't know. Like I said, now maybe because of the fact that the value of the dollar since 1913 has collapsed to nearly two cents and they were getting ready to push the CBDCs on us, that maybe there was an opportunity to flip this around. Now, that being said, why is Trump interested in cryptocurrency? I think he's trying to set up a backup so that way if he is going to do like Alex Jones says in National Yards of Fed or try to get rid of it, you have to have something to fall back on very quickly.
[00:49:25] So I think he's got many other things in there. My position has been that they just have never had to give us these concessions before in order to, you know, curry our favor. They've never given us anything and they've gotten us into two world wars for Israel and everything else. I mean, you name it. All the other wars since then. I mean, I just don't see all of these concessions that whites have been getting the last month as being some sort of a payment for our obedience. And there's got to be a master plan behind all this. He's not just randomly doing stuff.
[00:49:54] This all was planned out like the D-Day invasion. I think Trump, well, absolutely. And Stephen Miller may have been, probably was a very big, if not the biggest part of that. And I think Trump's instincts are favorable to this nostalgia of an America that has, that was of yesteryear. And I think probably his heart is somewhere near there. But anyway, we'll see. But it doesn't matter. My biggest issue, my biggest issue is that even all of his speeches, like one of your
[00:50:22] other guests reported a couple weeks ago, he never mentions white Americans. You know, and we've talked about that. Listen, Sonny, I get it. I mean, we talked about that. We have mentioned that. There are certain taboos, the Jewish taboo in that. Well, I mean, he has mentioned white South Africaners and almost. I mean, basically, I mean, but here's the thing. We talked about that after his inauguration speech. I gave a very point-by-point blow on his inauguration speech, which was, for the most part, incredible.
[00:50:51] Obviously, there was the silliness and, frankly, the utter absurdity of thanking everybody except the people who voted for him for his election. And we pointed that out. I mean, we're not going to give him a pass on that. But at the end of the day, I guess you would have to agree, or tell me if you don't, that I am more interested. Listen, surely he should say, and it shouldn't be any hard step to say, thank you, white Americans, for voting for me. And we've seen all the numbers.
[00:51:21] And thank you for putting me in the office. That's why he calls the son of majority, because he's talking about it. No, I get it. He should have said it. I'm not excusing that. There is no excuse for that. That is not something I would have done, and I don't agree with. But the policies, the policies that benefit whites that he is doing that no other president has done in my lifetime, I'm more interested in that. I would prefer him to mention the W word. But if you can't, keep giving us things that we like, and that'll be okay, too.
[00:51:49] Well, the thing that I like that he's doing most is he knows where the jugular is for the left, which is the money flowing through the government. Yeah, I tell you, he won't be like me and you and Sonny and all of our guests. He won't do all of this at cost. Excuse me, the left will not do all of this at cost, Sonny. Final word to you, my friend, and give the website one more time. They drive. We only got a minute left. I mean, they've been lavishly funded to keep up their activism, whereas we've been lean and hungry wolves for all of our careers, you know, just living off the land, if that.
[00:52:19] So I see them not doing this for free as we have done it. And that's a big difference between us and them. And your take on that and give the website. And we've got about a minute left. Well, the good thing is secession is once again in the air, brothers. We have Indiana's proposed to absorb 33 counties from the pale blue state of Illinois, as well as Oregon clues up to 13 counties to the greater Idaho project. So once again, the South was right in 1860.
[00:52:46] Also, homeschooling should be the norm and at least should be a supplementary form of education to fill in the blanks because the thing, but the part of education could be abolished. And if so, we might have the chance of school choice and start holding these school boards more accountable. So many things I advocated for 10 years ago, I've been vindicated over and over again. And now it's good to see other people finally stepping up. So that's my two last quote points. So again, you want to follow me at resolutionrdo.podbean.com for our shows.
[00:53:15] I'm on Getter, Gab, Twitter, True Social, Wimkin, and Telegram at St. Thomas Show. And all those on Twitter, Resolution RDO, the number one. All right, there you go. And there you have it. And follow him and support him at every turn. How long have you been doing this, Sonny? I want people to know. The St. Thomas Show I've done for 11 years now. February of 14 is when I started that. Resolution Radio has been around since 2016.
[00:53:43] And the first program that I added, besides my own, was the political cesspool. Hey, how about that? And why was that, could I ask? You're consistent, man. Desperation. I enjoy your guys' background music. But, Sonny, we have to have a voice for our Southern folks. We have to have a voice for our Southern folks. Thank you for the help you come to me. Sonny. You enjoyed our background music. Same for the South Africans. We are a voice for our South African brothers and sisters so they can possibly call us home if they have to leave there.
[00:54:13] And even Trump has jumped on that bandwagon now. That's good. Listen, we're going to go to South Africa during our march around the world. That's going to be one of our stops, one of our ports of call. Hey, Sonny, thank you so much for being with us tonight and for offering your informed analysis and opinion. And what a great show tonight. We've got Paul Kirstie coming up next. Let me just say this. What do the Palestinians and the Afrikaners have together? They ain't going to move. Okay. All right. Well, we'll be back with Paul Kirstie next.
[00:54:43] I love you, Sonny. Thank you. Bye-bye. Stay tuned. Third hour next. Paul Kirstie.
