Radio Show Hour 2 – 2026/05/23

[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.

[00:00:31] Well, folks, if you're tuning in late, don't forget to go back to the broadcast archives and listen to our first hour with Lou Moore, Ron Paul's former presidential campaign manager, also congressional chief of staff in Washington, D.C., for six years. And he broke down with his usual expertise the situation in Kentucky with Thomas Massey defeat. And, well, you don't want to miss it. But we've got another equally enthralling topic for you right now.

[00:01:00] And that is the question, is there a path to Alberta nationhood up there in Canada, in the province of Alberta? This is something we've been looking at for a while, but we haven't had an in-depth and informed discussion about it. That's going to change right now. Fergus Hodgson, a geopolitical publisher and financial economist, is back on the show tonight to discuss this Canadian secession movement. And he's joining us live now. Fergus, great to have you back. How are you? James, I'm doing great.

[00:01:30] And I'm actually up in Red Deer, so just a little bit north of Calgary, speaking to you this evening. So you are live on the scene in the province, and you're going to tell us everything that's going on. Well, with that being said, I definitely want to give you a wide berth just to set the table here, as we did with Lou Moore in the first hour. Tell us the chain of events that led us to this moment. What got this thing kick-started?

[00:01:54] Because this isn't what you see in America, where a few people in different groups are sort of agitating for secession, and it's a good idea. There is some teeth behind this at the very upper echelons of power in the Albertan province. So what are you seeing on the ground tonight, Fergus? Yeah, so I just went to a march today in Airdrie, a town just south of here, and I'm working on my own event on Monday.

[00:02:19] I'm sure many of your listeners are sensitive or interested in the topic of secession, given the past, right, and the south. And in many ways, there are corollaries there. One of the advantages in Canada is that Quebec has a very distinct identity to Canada, and Quebec has already held two referendums towards independence, and that has basically paved the way in terms of normalizing it as a legal process,

[00:02:49] that provinces do have a legal right to leave Canada. And in terms of why is this happening in Alberta, this has been growing since the initiation or inclusion of Alberta in Canada. Alberta was not included voluntarily. There was no vote to enter Canada. There was no vote on the first premier or governor of the province. And so since that time, Alberta has basically been a colony of Ottawa, which I call an imperial city.

[00:03:16] And that has only just heated up in the years since. So in 1980, there was a major act which basically confiscated a great deal of the wealth of Alberta and to be collected by the central government and redistributed to the other provinces. But it's a deep rift that you have basically a different people on the prairie provinces, Alberta and to some degree Saskatchewan,

[00:03:40] who really reflect the lifestyle, the values, the history of Wyoming and Montana, but they're stuck in Canada and they're trying to get out. This is Keith Alexander. Let me just ask you this. I'm sure that the question is more nuanced than just full succession or not. Is there, you know, is there, and of course, there's this talk going around about joining the United States

[00:04:09] or becoming a territory or being independent. What are all the nuances? Okay, so this discussion today is incredibly timely because over the past few months, Albertans have been collecting a petition. And earlier this month, they submitted this to Elections Alberta. They needed to have more than 170,000 signatures. And the population is about 5 million in total. And they submitted more than 300,000.

[00:04:38] So they easily met the threshold to have one question. And the question was, shall Alberta become a separate independent nation and leave Canada? Okay, so that was the only question. However, the First Nation or what you'd call just Native Americans, they have put impediments to this, at least the leadership has. And they have stopped this going on the ballot yet. It's stuck in the courts right now.

[00:05:07] The premier or governor of Alberta just last, was it last time or the night before? She just said that we will have a question this year, but it will be a question on should we have a referendum. So there's going to be a referendum on having a referendum, basically, because she claims that she wants to go beyond the courts or overcome the courts. Now, this has caused a lot of disgruntlement, you might say, within her party, the United Conservative Party of Alberta.

[00:05:36] And many people are looking to oust her from the leadership of that party. Because a majority of the Conservative Party or the right-leaning party in Alberta support the session or independence from Canada. Now, in terms of becoming a U.S. state, this is a very important topic. It would be a two-step process if Alberta were to become a U.S. state. It is not on the agenda right now. Now, you guys know so much the tyranny of Washington, D.C.

[00:06:03] and how it is trampled all over the independence or states' rights. And I've just encouraged Albertans to be very careful with that idea, that it might seem like a shortcut to having security or, let's say, organization or whatever, but you would be binding yourself to Washington, D.C. and having even less authority or control over those decisions. So, I will admit, though, that a good portion, maybe 20%, 25% of the people supporting secession

[00:06:34] want to become Americans. They want the U.S. state. Well, I agree with your cautionary approach to that. I think, you know, be careful what you wish for. Your dream may come true with becoming part of the United States. But I would think that you'd really want something more of a protectorate. You would like your new nation to be a protectorate of the United States military in case Carney and his government decide they want to use some type of force to bring you back in tow.

[00:07:04] Keith, it's a very important point because on day one, as soon as there is a successful referendum, now it cannot be this year. The referendum, the question this year is basically whether to hold a binding referendum. They will want U.S. recognition. Now, the truth is that Alberta would be in many ways more American than Americans or the broader United States because they would hold this, let's say, very rural, the rural values of, like I said, Wyoming and Montana,

[00:07:32] which would be, let's say, in terms of things like gun rights or free speech, that would be more in line with those than places like Illinois or California or what have you. Yeah, it would be a northern version of Yellowstone, right? Yes, although, to be fair, Alberta does have two cities, Edmonton and Calgary, and so they somewhat contaminate the constituency or voting preferences, right? If you were to go to the rural areas, it would be 70%, 80% in favor of independence.

[00:08:02] Well, that's what we have here in America. They talk about there are no real blue states. We have red states and red states with blue tumors called cities. Exactly. When we come back after this first break, we're going to get Fergus to plug all of his contact information. We have him for a little while longer this hour. And a big event tomorrow, excuse me, not tomorrow, but Monday, Monday. If you're listening live, it's two days from now. But nevertheless, Monday, May 25th, we're going to get him to tell us all about that as well.

[00:08:30] I just want to take a quick moment to make mention of the fact that, yes, we are aware there has been a shooting at the White House within the last hour. I believe it happened just before we went on the air tonight. We were aware of it before Lou Moore came on. We have Peter Scoop Stanton at the White House, and he's going to join us later this hour. All right, so we are going to go to Scoop later this hour, and he's going to tell us exactly what's happening. They're live from the scene. He is there.

[00:09:00] We will report on that. We don't know who was targeted or if it was just somebody shooting in the air or what. We're live on the air. We'll get that information from Scoop later this hour. But, Fergus, let's go back to this topic at hand before the music begins to play for this first break. Why Alberta, of all the Canadian provinces? We have some friends and some donors in Alberta. Why is Alberta, of all the Canadian provinces, the one that has this independent streak?

[00:09:29] Yeah, so it is a combination of both economic might and disparate values. What has happened is that over the last 25, 30 years, especially since the 1990s, and yes, immigration is part of this, Ottawa has become more of a progressive, urbanite, or cosmopolitan place, more of a postmodern. And this is where I actually agree with Justin Trudeau to some degree that Canada has become a postnational state, whereas Alberta still has the values in line with more, let's say,

[00:09:58] traditional American values. You might say fundamental natural rights, a tendency towards Christianity, a tendency towards cultural conservatism, and yes, laissez-faire capitalism. And so they've found themselves increasingly at odds, both in terms of values and in terms of the economy, because they are simply not represented proportionally in the parliament. Alberta basically does not get full representation. Now, Canada has a bit of a confusing mix,

[00:10:26] but it is not proportional to population. Further, they have an unelected Senate, and they're basically appointed by the deep state of Canada. So they feel lacking support. They also have equalization payments, so basically they have 5% of the economy stolen and given to the provinces. We're going to be right back with Fergus Hodgson, live from Alberta, where there is a secessionist fever in the air. How real is it?

[00:10:53] How likely is it to succeed? If I may succeed, if I may use the word, we'll be right back with him. Great guest. Hey friends, it's James.

[00:13:18] We had a whole hour on doo-wop ready to go, and then we had to interrupt that. And then, what, a month ago, we had Michael Hill on? I mean, he didn't penetrate the inner layer, but there was that shooting at the White House correspondence dinner, and then now, I don't even know what's going on, but we'll find out. I don't know if this is proof of the,

[00:13:45] you know, how aggravating Trump is to the left or how crazy the left is. Well, it's interrupting our schedule is what it's doing, and so we need to do this on, like, the weekdays, but we'll find out from Scoop live at the White House. He's there in a few minutes. What's going on? But first, Fergus Hodgson is our guest, and very interesting at that. This is his second appearance, or his encore, on TPC. His first appearance was just last year,

[00:14:14] but really not that long ago, just a few months. It was in November of last year, 2025. He was on with us to discuss the situation in Venezuela and Latin America. That was before Trump kidnapped the president and his wife of Venezuela, but he is the author of a couple of books. His articles have appeared in major outlets, including Fox News, the New Zealand Herald, and other places as far-flung as Honduras.

[00:14:41] He was an MBA in finance from Rice University in Texas, of course, and a BA in economics from Boston University there in Massachusetts. He is a licensed financial advisor. He is a native of New Zealand, if you haven't picked that up from his accent yet, but he came to the... He's the most exotic person we've ever had on the show. Not even done. Listen to this. You'll be even more impressed, Keith. He came to the U.S. on an athletic scholarship. He now resides here, but he has lived in Argentina and Guatemala,

[00:15:09] and for more than a year each, has visited 19 of the 20 Latin American countries. Tonight, he joins us from just north of Calgary. This is a man of the world. He is a true cosmopolitan here. And, Fergus, it's great to have you back. I wanted to give you that full and proper introduction because you are a most impressive guest. Man for all seasons. So let's go back to where you are now, and that's in Canada, here at the heart of this secessionist movement.

[00:15:38] And you mentioned before the premier of Alberta. That would be a governor to us down here in the U.S. Danielle Smith has weighed in on this. Where does she stand? Where is the official government of Alberta vis-a-vis the popular opinion of this amongst the electorate? Yeah, so great question because I want to be clear to people that this is one of the most pure, let's say populist or grassroots movements on the planet.

[00:16:07] It is almost not well. As far as I can tell, not a single elected official has expressed support for Alberta independence. But the support among the people is so strong that they've been unable to resist. That's why there was a citizen-led referendum. And the fact is that the premier has put nine other questions without any kind of reference, and any citizen-led petition, just because she wanted to. So she could put this question up for referendum any time,

[00:16:36] but it took a citizen-led initiative to make it happen. So the UCP or the United Conservative Party, even though a clear majority of the members are for it, that officially is trying to dislodge this or is against it. That is because they, much like in, let's say, a place like Texas, they want to kiss butt to the central government. And so even, I have said that if Alberta can achieve this, which it can, it'll be an incredible catalyst for secession movements south of the border.

[00:17:05] So I give Texas as an example because it also is a very, let's say, resource-rich state. Well, this is a great point you bring up, Fergus, because as you say, once something becomes a fad or in vogue, it can have a domino effect, but somebody's got to break through and do it. And so how likely is, as Keith and I were joking during the break, how likely is secession to succeed here in Canada? I'm seeing here now. That's a tongue twister.

[00:17:36] Am I correct in what I'm reading here that there's going to be a vote in October on this? And if it passes, there's going to be an independence referendum in 2027 where push could come to shove once in the fall? I'm sure. Well, tell us about that. And I'm sure that the federal government of Canada, the national government, has to be entirely opposed to this. Reconcile all of that for us. Yes. So first, so yes, just this week,

[00:18:04] there has been a confirmation that there will be a question on the ballot October 19. However, it is not the question that the petitioners requested. They were very clear and they had overwhelming signatures. And the premier has gone against that and made a question about a question, basically a question. Do you want to have a referendum? Which doesn't make a lot of sense, but that is what she has put forward. A great legal scholar we have, I mean, I have respect for, has said this is, it's a ridiculous question,

[00:18:33] but that is what we're facing and what we're campaigning for. I should just give you a little bit of background though, in terms of my own interest in Alberta. My mother was Alberta and I'm a Canadian citizen through her and I have many relatives here. So I, not only do I have, let's say, an affection for the idea of Alberta nationhood, I have, basically I feel like I'm reclaiming some of my heritage. Now, in terms of the likelihood, if I'm just going to be straight with you, right now the polling suggests around 35%,

[00:19:03] maybe 40% support for this. Okay? But, that is before there's been any kind of campaign. And the, if you think the, quote, quote, mainstream media is terrible in the United States, it is just out of control here. There is a $2 billion worth of subsidies that go to the state propaganda apparatus in Canada. And plus, you've got basically controlled opposition in the universities and think tanks. So, that is where it's, it, there just is a real lack of support

[00:19:32] for this movement. And all the government institutions are trying to derail it. They are putting incredibly difficult, let's say, regulatory hurdles to even speak about this. You need to register as a third party, as a specific organization. organization. And then, you've got to report your accounting every week. It's, so basically, the, the apparatus, the state apparatus is incredibly against this. That's why it's, it's kind of like the real David versus Goliath fight. But because they have great arguments on their side in terms of the economics,

[00:20:02] in terms of the values, in terms of the people, they are growing. And I think the, the, let's say, established institutions, the Conservative Inc. and the Liberal Party, which is basically, which dominates Canadian politics, they're incredibly afraid of an open debate on this. Because it would be clear to Albertans that they are suffering that the central government is against their culture. Let me ask you this, Fergus. Is this, what, what is the primary animating force

[00:20:31] for this? Is this, people don't like the liberalism of the Canadian government? People feel like they're cowards being milked through the fence? You know, for the petroleum resources? Yes. Well, what is, and I'm sure a lot of other things. Well, that's a great question, Keith, because here we always just accept secession by default as a good thing without ever even considering the reasons. It's just sort of in our DNA as Southerners. But yeah, Fergus, I would like to hear that as Albertans, why would they want

[00:21:01] to secede? So it, gosh, many, many reasons. They would say fundamentally freedom, but of course, if we're being honest about it, it is immigration as well, right? Because they feel like their way of life is being lost and the central government is bringing in huge immigration to Canada and that is basically smothering their traditions, their way of life and they want to have authority over that. But this really became much more prominent over during

[00:21:30] the COVID-19 era when they felt like, because before they'd already put up with being taxed to death with their wealth being pilfered and given to the other provinces, they'd already put up with many economic restrictions. But it became a combination of both economic pilfering and then an Ottawa government that was basically an enemy of their values, of their way of life. And this is just my take, mate. I see Alberta as one of these real last bastions of the kind of

[00:22:00] Anglosphere diaspora with a real rugged way of life, a real kind of community, a strong community that is resisting being turned into this deracinated cosmopolitan or post-national community. So that's why I think it's so relevant to your audience that you have here these real pioneer farming oilman people who are resisting a centralized predation.

[00:22:30] Well, there is something about Alberta and he passed away last year. One of our best supporters was a big farmer up there. A big farmer in Alberta and he was the one who first encouraged us to have conferences. The first conference we ever had at TPC aside from our kickoff conference, I guess, was our 10-year anniversary and he was a leading factor in that and he was from of all places, Alberta. And so there is something there. There is a

[00:23:00] tie that binds and Ferguson, I want to keep you forward just a few minutes into the next segment. We got to get the scoop Stanton. We got to figure out what's going on down there at the White House. And I really got to ask anybody that's going to take shots at the White House, if you could do that on Wednesday, like on a Wednesday, that would work better for us as we broadcast live on Saturday because it's really sort of coming away a weekly special eating into our time with our guests. Before we talk about the event on Monday,

[00:23:30] this is Monday, May 25th. You are not an attendee at this event. You are the moderator. And so we're going to be talking about who the panelists are and all the information pertaining to that. But please focus before the music plays here before this bottom of the hour break. Give us all of your contact information, how people can follow you, and then we'll get to this event, and then we'll let you fly. Yes. The best place to follow me is on X at Ferg Hodgson. Also, if you want to learn more about the Canadian situation, my book is Financial

[00:24:00] Sovereignty for Canadians, and the subtitle is Untether Yourself from the Ottawa Leviathan. It is a chapter on the Wexit promise. You can also follow, I've got a geopolitical publication, it's impunityobserver.com. My financial publication is econamericas.substack.com. So, there are plenty of ways to get in touch. I think this is such an active topic, and there's so much going on on X, there are many great accounts there, so I feel like

[00:24:29] I'm just part of that broader discussion. There are many wonderful content creators on this topic. Hey, if there's a 20%, a 30%, a 10% chance that a major world province could secede from its mother country, that's the biggest news in some ways since 1865. We'll be right back. We've got to take a break. We'll be right back. 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] Breaking news this hour from Town Hall. I'm Mary Rose. Law enforcement authorities are responding to reports of shots fired near the White House grounds. Journalists working at the White House today reported hearing a series of gunshots and were told to seek shelter inside the press briefing room. President Trump was inside the White House at the time. On X, the Secret Service said it was aware of reports of shots fired near 17th Street in Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest. That's one block from the White House and was

[00:25:30] working to corroborate the information with personnel on the ground. Bob Agner reporting. President Trump is touting what he calls a major jobs milestone. President Trump says 100% of net new jobs since 2025 have been created in the private sector as his administration seeks to root out unnecessary bureaucrats within the federal government. Speaking at the swearing-in of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair, Mr. Trump said the administration

[00:25:58] cut excess土. government positions, adding that many former federal workers are now earning significantly more in private industry. John Scott reporting. House Speaker Mike Johnson says despite recent setbacks with the legislative agenda, Republicans in the House hope to pass legislation involving funding border security before the summer begins. We're going to fully fund immigration enforcement and border security in our reconciliation bill. Again, it's worthy of note, that is rather a shocking proposition.

[00:26:29] The Democrats don't want to have anything to do. Think of it. They don't want to give one dollar, one penny to border enforcement, border security, and immigration enforcement. President Trump says an agreement with Iran has been largely negotiated in a post on Truth Social. He said the final details of the deal are being discussed and that the agreement will allow the Strait of Hormuz to be opened. This after public statements today from officials from both countries appeared to signal progress. More of these stories at

Fergus and I and Keith were talking with Scoop

[00:30:24] live from D.C. and he's filling us in. We're going to go to him live in Washington in just a couple of minutes but Fergus Hodgson I want to thank you again for being with us tonight because this has been something we have been sort of watching from afar. It's kind of been like an urban or rural legend about Alberta. Yeah I think so Keith we've been watching this we've heard rumors but to really get to the meat of the matter and see how real this may be is interesting tonight. Now you are going to be at an

[00:30:54] event a reception and a panel discussion on Monday May the 25th that's Memorial Day down here in the States but you're not going to be there as an attendee you're going to be there as the moderator of a panel the panel discussion being the path to Alberta nationhood moving beyond debate to personal action what can you tell us about this event on Monday and who will be your panelists yeah exactly so first the event sold out initially all the tickets and then

[00:31:36] I what we're going to we're going to have any political backing from the professional political class and we're not going to have a coherent top down organization because there are very strong personalities in these movements as you know well

[00:32:06] what can we do let's say we have an army of 50 or 100 different organizations what are we going to do to break the let's say media stranglehold over information to challenge the controlled opposition whatever it may be we want to talk about action and focus on personal action so whether you produce content whether you join the political party and help take over that UCP party whether you form a new organization that has local rallies or debates whatever it may be what is

[00:32:36] going to actually get us to the finish line because my hope is that in two years time let's say when the final vote the referendums and people vote in a majority yes it'll be a turnkey operation that everyone already understands it supports it and then the next day basically the new country will be functioning and we'll have recognition abroad well it sounds like you're having a modern version of the tennis court oath going on there who are the various factions that are going to be represented at this oh we have everybody we've got yeah

[00:33:06] go ahead go ahead fergus yeah i'm just going to say last question before we we really didn't advertise the event much because we were already basically sold out or we had a lot of people

[00:33:36] sign up and so i'm just basically like i said i want people who will be proactive and doers towards making this happen because we already realize this is a challenge but we want to build a healthy and positive atmosphere so yeah thanks so much for the time to speak with you guys I really appreciate your interest and if anyone in the audience wants to learn more from me please reach out to me on x that's the place and i'll let you get to your other guests okay well fergus i want to thank you again this is a vitally important topic one that we're very

[00:34:05] interested in you're right there in the thick of it there in Alberta near Calgary tonight you'll be there on Monday as you're moderating this panel of some of the originators of this whole effort and we look forward to talking to you again as this thing continues to materialize going into the latter parts of this year and hopefully next year and we'll see what happens Fergus Hodgson thank you

[00:34:44] this thing kicked off or did you go there after the fact we received news just before Lou Moore came on at the top of the show tonight that there had been a shooting in D.C. or suspected gunmen in D.C. what is happening I have no idea I ask you what's going on down there well first off good evening political cesspool family well I was

[00:35:24] drew a weapon and got into a gunfight with secret service uniform officers the man discharged his weapon three times secret service did return fire the gunman was struck also a bystander was struck and as this went on the person the gunman was transported to the hospital apparently he did succumb to his injuries the bystander who was struck we don't know if it

[00:36:15] they were told to seek shelter while this was going on and I was driving right by the old executive office building in D.C. and I noticed a lot of metropolitan police department vehicles a lot of secret service uniform division vehicles flying up and down constitution avenue and then I saw secret service officers posted outside these vehicles blocking the streets with rifles out and at first I was thinking okay must be something going on with Iran or

[00:36:45] something going on like that nature and then I just said the cars kept flying down National Guard was on the scene directing traffic and I said something else is going on and then I went to social media and they said the shot fired and so I stood as you're hustling from other correspondents who have assets on the White House grounds well

[00:37:16] that's why we like you being in D.C. am I right Keith Alexander and by the way folks I mean we don't mention this as often as we should we should mention it every show I'm going to mention this in the last segment of every show henceforth our fourth hour is hosted by Scoop Stanton and Walter Yerke every Saturday night here on the Liberty News radio network the fun only begins after we go off the air it's after hours on Liberty news with Scoop and 7-5 radio and

[00:37:47] you things have to happen on a Saturday night I'm still flummoxed by but anyway we can always depend on Scoop to cover it well that's exactly he's there he's there and we're here so we're here together with him and

[00:38:17] this wasn't planned tonight of course you can't plan these things I guess suffice it to say the president life was never in jeopardy as a result of this you would be correct and unlike people like Benny Johnson who's going to put Donald Trump with the look of sudden death we just are going to report the facts I was there I was trying to get some information I was ear hustling from

[00:38:55] by a correspondent from a Japanese news agency right now there's a reporter in Northwest DC with my business card he's with the coyote news so he probably took my business card and put it in the trash back to reality people were asking why did shoot the bystander what about the bystander first of all we don't know who

[00:39:24] shot the bystander it could have been the gunman or the secret service number one number two when you do get in that gun fight it's not like your adrenaline is running through the roof you have what they call adrenaline dump number one number two your hand starts sweating so that grip on

[00:39:54] that pistol is not as like on the range number three you have tunnel vision where you are the only thing in your sight is that person ahead of you with your front sight and your rear sight number four when you are discharging that weapon you're not firing back at you so that's why unfortunately somebody was shot we don't know if it was secret service or it was the gunman but I know talking to

[00:40:24] Gary Byrne and our guest on tonight Tony I was going to bring him up yeah go ahead I was talking to both these gentlemen you they go through lots of training with firearms so anyways we've come back we'll have more on the situation in Washington D.C. with Scoop Stanton James Edwards and Keith Alexander this is the political cesspool stay tuned everybody

[00:41:01] it is common for politicians major media outlets and non-profits to hype white on black murders aggressively or even claim that blacks are living in fear of white people lends for simply being black hard to believe but that's what was done and some people still want to do that this is why National Conservative launched the Interracial Homicide Tracking Project we have now documented well over 2,000 confirmed interracial homicides since January 2023

[00:41:29] and created the most comprehensive overview of these killings anyone has ever made we plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government crime stats rather than engaging in hyperbole and vitriolic rhetoric like everyone else we and informed opinions about a sensitive and politically charged issue visit natcon.life n-a-t-c-o-n

[00:44:55] as best you could tell the intentions of the shooter uh shooter was and um where it stands now we covered it but just give us a 30 60 second recap on the whole situation from dc okay once again a little bit after 6 p.m eastern time in washington dc at 17th street pennsylvania avenue northwest a secret service checkpoint a gentleman walked up to two secret service officers

[00:45:23] and drew a weapon he discharged three shots secret service fired back striking the gunman and he is no longer with us also one bystander was also struck and is in serious condition but is alive and right now dc is still in the area around the white house still in lockdown because it is an active crime scene the uh the lockdown for the white house grounds was lifted approximately

[00:45:53] 7 p.m local time so uh people can still come and go in the white house but the area around washington dc is still in lockdown you have an active crime scene fbi secret service uniform division and metropalm police are all on the scene all right so the bottom line is if you're in dc don't squeeze off a few rounds by the white house it's not going to end well for you and if you have to do that please don't do it on a saturday because it just really interrupts our schedule

[00:46:23] here on dpc if you do it i hope you are a liberal yeah that's sure because we'll all be attached to you if you're not well hey listen you mentioned the name scoop gary byrne gary byrne was a former secret service agent in the oval office during the clinton administration and he is a hoot i first met gary byrne at the 2016 republican national convention that was the

[00:46:53] convention where trump earned the nomination in his campaign against hillary i was there i was in the arena that night with sam bushman and we were on radio row that entire week in cleveland in 2016 and one of the people we ran into was gary byrne and he was promoting his book which was basically a tell all about his time in the clinton secret service but and he spilled the beans i mean he talked about hillary

[00:47:22] throwing you know vases at bill and how violent it would get in the white house and these other women i mean gary byrne is the national treasure and we've stayed in touch all these years we've done interviews in the american free press he's been on the show several times after the assassination attempt in butler pennsylvania that we mentioned earlier a couple of years ago when trump was running against kamala the very first saturday after that assassination attempt gary burn was

[00:47:52] back on the show just a one of a kind and scoop you're good friends with him as well he's been a regular guest of yours on 75 radio let's just give a quick plug to gary burn and his books about his time as a secret service agent in the clinton white house i mean not just i'm not talking about he was a secret service agent in so much as he was chasing paper hangers or counterfeiters or you know people you know engaging in check fraud he was outside the white outside the oval office

[00:48:22] during that pivotal clinton burn baby burn scoop to you jay jay all right gary was a member of the uniform division secret service is divided up into two divisions you got your secret service agents i'm not sure what they're called but you had the secret service uniform division or their own police department and gary is a stand-up guy he wrote two books secrets of the secret service and crisis of character go online look

[00:48:51] them up and i met gary at cpac he was just hanging out and it's like are you uh gary burn from uh is it yes and we we just hit it off immediately and with the situation butler that same one saturday james you interviewed him and then we interviewed him on seven five radio two interviews same night same subject two different interviews it was like what it but that's what we do also the same week he was on the no bs news with a buddy charlie

[00:49:21] leduff and i still stay in contact with gary right and i also met another gentleman from the he used to work the uniform division his name is tony sabio he is running for congress in virginia's eighth district he will be on tonight at 10 p.m to give his full analysis of what's going on and that's the power of libby news radio we have not one but two people who work secret service that we have on our back and call now if i didn't get tony on tonight i would have

[00:49:50] called gary and i need to get gary on again sooner than later because even if we're not talking about the secret service we'll have gary on and a couple years ago with the situation in springfield ohio walter took a sent me a picture of a lady's foot saying that's my foot in springfield ohio and gary was on just for grins and giggles so it became talking about these haitians possibly eating pets in springfield ohio to me walking around with uh wearing ladies sandals and gary's like that's

[00:50:20] you're definitely your foot so gary's an absolute hoot he is a stand-up guy uh but check out his stand-up comic secret right secrets of the secret service and also crisis of character and i it's amazing to me he is still alive hopefully i mean it yeah i mean seriously because he really dished on the clinton white house i mean you know imagine being a conservative secret service agent in the clinton era and uh living to tell the tale he

[00:50:49] wrote to tell all books and he was at that sort of the height of his uh fame during the 2016 run of donald trump and that's when we uh ran into you know scoop you could always get the press credentials to cpac i could never get those i we went to the republican national convention but scoop had cpac covered and uh between the two of us and between the entire ages of this network uh we can get there and we can get it done where the action is if it's in dc we've got scoop if

[00:51:19] it's in alberta we've got fergus if it's in Porto, Portugal for the remigration summit next week during our first hour it'll be midnight in portugal but uh nick scanlon will be on to tell us all about that remigration summit and what's going on in europe and a lot of our friends will be there roger devlin will be there uh jerry taylor will be there cyan quinn will be there and of course a lot of the leading figures in european nationalism circles will be there and our correspondent will be there where the action is right

[00:52:17] officer worked emergency response team i.e the guys with the long guns who can put a uh a hole through a quarter at a thousand yards away he was also a uh medic in the navy as a hospital corpsman and is also an employee of central intelligence and i doubt he was a paper pusher so we're going to have him give his analysis on what went right what went wrong he probably worked at post uh one time when he was with secret service also we're going to talk about the shooting in san diego because here's something

[00:52:47] nobody else is saying they refuse to say is that one of the shooters at the san diego mosque shooting possibly was transgender and that's the thing about us that we we call out these people these transgender shooters we've done it we've done it in minnesota in pennsylvania and in tennessee but um anyways back to uh seven five radio is also known as the political cesspool after dark because i remember uh cpac a couple years ago i think it was 2024 i was doing the doing
