Political guru Lew Moore calls in with an on-the-ground report from Michigan, where he addressed a prestigious forum earlier in the day. We also continue to examine polls that predict a Biblical wipeout for Republicans in November. Afterwards, James Edwards and Eddie “The Bombardier” Miller talk Trump and twenty-two years of TPC.
[00:00:01] You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is The Political Cesspool. The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program. And here to guide you through the murky waters of The Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
[00:00:30] Well, welcome back to the Night's Live broadcast. Great first hour with British barrister Adrian Davis talking about all things regarding the situation on the ground in France right now, which is absolutely untenable and just amazing in the most negative possible definition of the word. But now we'll go to something much more positive where Lou Moore is with us now for an on-the-ground report.
[00:00:59] We only have Lou for one segment tonight because he is at a VIP dinner where he is the guest of honor. Yes, indeed, Lou is calling in from Michigan where he addressed a prestigious forum earlier in the day. And I just wanted to ask Lou if he had a good time today. I know these people. They're dear to my heart. I've had the opportunity to be up there twice, and I know where he's at, and it's just wonderful. So, Lou, give us your assessment. How's your day been, my friend?
[00:01:28] Oh, it's been fantastic, James. And, you know, I'm going to tell you, I've been thinking about this today. There was just kind of a vibe with the group today that was very reminiscent of that conference you put together, the Wilton Power Conference with Steve King and our friends from overseas. It kind of had that feeling to it because, you know, this is the hour of decision, James, and people are understanding, though, that have been in this for a long time, that there is some real reasons for optimism.
[00:01:58] And so it was a great day. And a lot of young people, a lot of young people. I saw a picture from the leader of the forum. It was a packed house. I saw you at the podium. I saw the crowd. And I did not see an empty seat. And I had the opportunity to go up there and speak to this group 10 years ago this month, Lou, almost to the day, 10 years ago in October of 2016. And my, how the world has changed since then.
[00:02:27] But one thing that hasn't changed is the quality of that group and the turnout that they manifest. And I saw that today, and it brought back so many good memories. I was up there again. I think it was the spring of last year. Since then, their last three speakers have been in order, Steve King, Peter Brimelow, and Lou Moore. So they don't play around. But I appreciate the fact that you're differentiating between optimism and the prospects for the GOP in two weeks. They are two very different things.
[00:02:57] They are two very different things. Yes, indeed. Yes. My dire prediction has not altered for what's going to happen to the Republicans in two weeks. And I am not happy about that. There's going to be some real consequences. But there's going to be a reordering of things, James. And real opportunities always arise in those times. Well, you had sent me just a couple of days ago, if you can recall it. I don't have it pulled up on my phone right now, so I don't want to put you on the spot.
[00:03:27] But you had sent me a couple of screenshots from your own television set of things that, even as the political savant that you are, made you stand back and say, Whoa! Do you remember what that data was? Yeah, that data came from Rich Barris, my former pollster that I've brought him into two projects I've done. I think he's the most accurate pollster in America.
[00:03:54] And this was just data that came from his company, from different surveys he had. And, yeah, I mean, the Republicans altered all these districts in Texas and in Florida. They're all pretty much in the hands of the Democrats right now. We'll see what happens. But it's just amazing, including our friend's district down in Texas 9. That one is probably going to be a cliffhanger. You know, where Republicans thought they could just bank all those districts.
[00:04:24] It can't happen. I mean, you know, Trump is in Kansas, for God's sake. I mean, he doesn't imagine. Lou, I got one better for you than that. Please pardon this interruption. But I got to tell you something, and this was something that I meant to tell you anyway. My family is from rural northwest Mississippi, both sides. My mother's side is from a place called Pontotoc, Mississippi. My dad's side is from a little town called Corinth, Mississippi.
[00:04:51] Corinth, Mississippi has a population of 14,622, according to the 2020 census. Corinth, Mississippi, with that population of 14,000, is the political and population center of Alcorn County, Mississippi. It is the biggest and most politically significant city in the county. Trump is rallying there on Monday.
[00:05:15] Now, I ask you, this is a place that went 80% for Trump in the last three election cycles. If you are a confident party, you are going into enemy territory trying to swing districts. Why in the world is Trump rallying in Corinth, Mississippi, 10 days before an election? What does that mean? Because they're pretty close to free fall right now, James.
[00:05:38] I mean, there's 39 congressional districts that were totally safe, quote, unquote, where they have rerouted money from more competitive so-called districts to save incumbents in those particular districts. Thirty-nine of them around the country. Rich is, in his polling, he's finding in race after race, there is a 20-point swing of people who voted for Trump that are going to vote for the Democrats. I mean, it's a disaster. I mean, we'll see how bad it is.
[00:06:05] A lot of these races are going to be close, but this could be a wipeout. It's possible. Lou, you know, Ole Miss playing tonight, and we're getting ready to celebrate 22 years on the radio next week, but we are going to mention that tonight. Keith is out of town due to the game. Eddie Miller, who was a longtime TPC co-host before he went out and made stakes on his own radio show, which is in its eighth year now. But he has a question for you. You're on with Lou Moore, Ron Paul's former presidential campaign manager and chief of staff in D.C. for many years, Eddie.
[00:06:33] Well, Lou, it's a great honor and a privilege to speak to you. I've been here with one of my best friends in the world, been best friend since he was about 19. But I have a question. We have – and I'll start with a quick statement. We have a guy running for the governor. He's an independent here in Tennessee. And he's polling right well, believe it or not, against a great Republican stalwart, Marshall Blackburn, who was almost undefeatable recently.
[00:06:58] Now, with the Trump and the GOP taking – it looks like you said they're going to be wiped out. Is that going to bode well? Are independents going to be able – is this going to be an opportunity for independents? Because people – I guarantee you, people hate the Democrats and Republicans equally. So to repeat myself, how – is this an opportunity for independents? It certainly could be, Eddie.
[00:07:25] And it is possibly – I say this with a lot of caveats – an opening for a third party. And, of course, I'm sure you're aware that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey, Robert Barnes – I mean, there are a lot of people working on a project right now to bring an America First Party out into the political world. We'll see if that happens. And that is a huge lift.
[00:07:48] But independents in different locations with different circumstances, good candidates, I certainly think that this is opening up that opportunity. But, you know, there's still plenty of opportunity with the Republicans. We just have to get the right people through the primary process. And I'm not sure it's going to be a wipeout. A lot of these races are going to be close. But a lot of races that are close right now should never – we shouldn't even be talking about. So, you know, it's kind of a nice edge.
[00:08:15] But 20, 30, 40, maybe even 50 congressional swing. And I think the Democrats take the Senate, too. Wow. You know, that was – the conventional wisdom a month ago was that Republicans lose the House, they keep the Senate. But now, yes, it does seem to be trending that way. And as you say, I mean, some of these things could fall. It's just a matter of – you flip a coin, which side is going to fall on in some of these races. But I'm looking at some of these things, and it's just unfathomable from where we were two years ago. We were two years ago, Lou.
[00:08:45] Well, I guess two and a half years ago now, I guess to be technical. Trump was doing so well in his first couple of weeks back in office, sweeping back into power. It led to that Will to Power conference. And now that just seems like an ancient memory. He's down 50 points with independents. Negative 50. I mean, that's unbelievable. Negative 18 with rural voters, which was his bread and butter.
[00:09:09] And you're going to be back on with us that first Tuesday – excuse me, that first Saturday after the election in November. And we'll focus on some races. I'm looking at Vivek's going to lose to Amy Acton. Tallarico may win. I mean, there's just so much in play right now, and we'll see how the cards fall. But I know I have to let you get back to supper tonight. You are with great people. Give us just one more minute, Lou, before the music begins to play on your day, your experience in Michigan,
[00:09:38] your host, the Q&A that always follows a talk there. And I'm sure you gave a great one, as you always do. Just your overall experience up in Michigan today. Take us behind the scenes, if you don't mind. Well, I'd just say – I mean, one statement I'd make right off the bat. Our people, wherever they are, when they're fighting for our people, they tend to be good people. They just do. And it's certainly true here. But a lot of interest among the youth, there's several of them.
[00:10:06] And I'm actually out in the little cabin outside the house. But a bunch of them in the house right now, some very interesting people have come – were curious about this conference, couldn't make it, have come to this meeting tonight. People affiliated with Joel Webin, other people like that. There's a lot of excitement in the air. There's a lot of varying ideas. But there's a lot that we should be very happy about right now as things are developing.
[00:10:35] Lou, I know you are in the midst of all of this. So I will not take up any more of your time this evening. You're in the midst of a VIP dinner. I'm going to let you go back into that now. Thank you for your time this evening, my friend. We'll talk to you again in a couple of weeks. And tell everybody hello and enjoy the rest of your evening. Same to you and Eddie. Take care, James. Love you, buddy. We'll talk again soon. We'll be back next. Stay tuned, everybody.
[00:11:01] It is common for politicians, major media outlets, and nonprofits 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
[00:11:30] and created the most comprehensive overview of these killings anyone has ever made. We plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government crime stats. Rather than engaging in hyperbole and vitriolic rhetoric like everyone else, we are simply creating a massive sample size of empirical evidence so people can form rational and informed opinions about a sensitive and politically charged issue.

[00:13:23] Although we had been very much, as a matter of fact, it was in that same month that Hillary Clinton ran her last campaign ad against Trump that featured yours truly, saying that if Trump gets elected, people like James Edwards will be in charge of the country. Well, unfortunately, that didn't quite manifest as Hillary pretended, but we were a part of that first Trump campaign,
[00:13:46] Donald Trump Jr. coming on the program and being such a talking point in the media for just a crush of media attention on the onset of that when it broke, and then all the way through to Election Day, and now here we are 10 years later already, and it just seems like yesterday, as they say. Well, I'll tell you what else seems like yesterday was the last 22 years. Our 22nd anniversary on the air is on Monday.
[00:14:12] On Monday, we will celebrate 22 full years on the air, and we're going to get the party started tonight with longtime former co-host Eddie the Bombardier Miller. Now, you've already heard him ask a question, but he has been in tonight, and I was on his program earlier in the preceding three hours prior to TPC going on the air, and we have been sitting in on each other's programs tonight intermittently in a six-hour bonanza.
[00:14:38] But we are going to get the party started tonight with Eddie, and a little bit later, before the end of the program, correspondent Peter Scoop Stanton as we celebrate the trail we have blazed with our family of listeners these last 22 years. But, you know, we always do an anniversary show. The anniversary show proper will take place next week, and next week is going to be a convergence of a lot of things. It is our anniversary show. It is our Halloween show. As a matter of fact, next week's show will take place on Halloween.
[00:15:09] Next Saturday is October the 31st, so it's Halloween. It's our 22nd anniversary show next week, and it's, of course, the last show before the midterms. So we'll have a parade of guests come on to talk about our anniversary, to talk about issues leading up to the midterms, which will take place that following Tuesday, and, you know, some fun Halloween music, too. It's going to be a party show next week. Don't miss it. But that party does start now with Eddie the Bombadier Miller.
[00:15:37] Eddie, I had the opportunity to be on Blood River with you tonight, and we were talking about, hey, we're both celebrating anniversaries tonight, 22 years for TPC, eight years for Blood River. Now, for the 14 years prior to the last eight years, you were a part of TPC, and still certainly a part of the family. There's no doubt about that. But we were just looking at the clock and looking at it as we sit here tonight.
[00:16:04] It was 22 years ago that TPC got started, 24 years ago that I ran my campaign for the Statehouse, which is where you and I first met, and 26 years ago for the last Buchanan campaign, which gave me my start. So those years are starting to rack up a little bit. Yes, they are. We were both a lot younger in those days. I'm telling you, it's incredible what's transpired.
[00:16:33] I'm almost tempted to tell a story so sentimental about your house and everything. I actually wanted to ask you about that. Now, before people think we're going to get all nostalgic. We are family, though. We love each other. That's next week. No, but we are going to talk about – I'm actually going to rope Eddie into some discussion about Trump this hour. And then we've got a very interesting hour coming up before the show ends tonight in our third hour. If you don't know about it, I'll just go ahead and tell you.
[00:17:02] An arsonist burned down the eagle's nest last night in Germany. Just last night, an arsonist rode a motorcycle up the mountain and burned to the ground. I don't mean he set a fire and it caused a little bit of damage, but the fireman came and put it out, and it's okay. I'm talking about it burned it down to the stone. And Harry Cooper, who has visited the eagle's nest so many times with shark hunters,
[00:17:29] the shark hunters tours of Germany, is going to be on with us in the next hour to talk about the crime, number one. And, number two, some interesting facts in history about this very historical site in Bavaria that's coming up in the next hour. As a matter of fact, a little bit earlier tonight, when I was on with Eddie, Harry Cooper stopped in on Eddie's show and told us a little bit about it. But we are going to talk about that, and I think it will be a topic of interest to you, even though it's a tragedy.
[00:18:00] But right now, before we get into Trump and some other things, we are looking back on what's going to be our anniversary week here at TPC, and Eddie has been an integral part of it. And I was going to ask you this story before we get into the rest of the show. You did call me and left me a voicemail this week, and the years do go by, and things change, and you move, and the house you used to live in, you don't live in there anymore. Well, tell us the story very quickly.
[00:18:28] Well, I'll tell you, a lot of people don't know that I'm very emotional, nostalgic. I hate change. I get used to people. I love people on site. I really do love people, my own people anyway. And me and James have been together for, like James said, at least 24 years, before a political suspect we even thought of, before Danny was in the picture. We fought more battles than I can count.
[00:18:58] With our enemies and sometimes with each other. And then we take a swig or two of Ed Williams, everything's solved over. But, you know, I was going from my house the other day. I was going over to the post office, I believe it was. And I'll pass by your old house, James, where you lived when I first met you 24, 25 years ago. And people can think I'm a sissy if you want to, but all these memories came back, flooded through my mind and through my soul.
[00:19:27] About, I thought, James was just a kid then. And I was much younger. And all the good times we had. I remember sitting out in your driveway in my old green Chevrolet pickup truck. Oh, yeah. And having many discussions out there. Some of them hot, but most of them good. We formed a bond, James, me and you, right off the bat. My daughter and my wife used to listen to the political system without fail when we started.
[00:19:51] And they said, and I've had many people say, there's never been a pair of radio people or any political people, any people anywhere that had a natural chemical bond between me and you. And it comes through on the radio. It really came through strongly. And you mentioned something when you're talking about how we got started so early against all odds. And I remember a phrase, I've never forgotten it.
[00:20:21] You're the first person I ever heard to use this phrase. It was over 20 years ago. We were talking about how we got the political system going, how we succeed against all odds, all kinds of controversy. And you said we came along at the perfect place, perfect time. You said we call, quote, lightning in a bottle, unquote. Well, it was. I cried when I went by your house. I'll go ahead in a minute. All those memories. You know, I got to say. Forrest Park. All the stuff you mentioned tonight with Forrest Park with the Confederate flag,
[00:20:48] all the fights we bought to keep the statues from being taken away, all the political fights we've been in, everything, all these memories, 22 years worth of memories came by in 30 seconds. I wanted to cry. You got married there at that house. I did, and you were there. And the big Confederate flag was right behind the altar. I was the first person. I won't cut you off anymore. I was the first non-family member to hold little Izzy. I was there at the hospital where she was born. That was March of 2010. Yeah, I mean, it goes back.
[00:21:18] And, of course, we've told this story so many times before. Eddie and I first met. I was canvassing during my campaign for the state legislature in 2002, the summer of 2002. By God, it was hot. Walking, knocking on doors, and I missed Eddie at his house. I didn't know it was Eddie's house at the time, but I did leave my brochure, and Eddie saw the address. We had a campaign headquarters in a strip mall that my father owned, and it was very nice. And so we had an official campaign headquarters visit, and we had a phone line. I mean, it was a real campaign.
[00:21:48] And Eddie, sometime while I was still out knocking on doors, came by while I was still gone that night and left a note saying, I'd like to talk to you left his phone number, and the rest is history. And I told Eddie earlier tonight on his program, I said, Eddie, if you'd have told me that night in the summer of 2002 that over 24 years later, we would be in a radio studio together celebrating 22 years as AM Talk radio host,
[00:22:14] I mean, the chances of winning the lottery are far, far greater. The chances of getting hit by lightning or eaten by a shark are far greater than the odds we face to be able to tell that story. But that is what happened. That is exactly what happened by God's grace and the good graces of our – and the generosity of our listening family. But I think it is very important to feel those emotions. You know, my pastor died, Eddie, last month. I'm going to show with him.
[00:22:43] And I got very emotional even on the air, which is unprecedented. But if you don't feel love for your flesh and blood kin, if you don't feel hatred for those who are trying to destroy your family and your nations and your race, if you don't feel these things and feel them deeply, if you're just – I mean, there's a time and a place for stoicism. But if you don't feel these things, how can you fight?
[00:23:13] I mean, if it's just cold and analytic and a preference, I don't see how you're effective. You have to feel that love. You have to feel that emotion. And, you know, that's how we are. But I appreciate that, and it has gone by fast. It's gone by – my God, I mean, I was 19. I was 19 years old the day I first met Pat Buchanan. I'm 46 now. I mean, you could round that up in math class. You'd say you're 50. You're pushing 50. 50. Wow.
[00:23:43] I was 19. But listen, another saying I like is the days are long, but the years are short. And I'm just thankful to be here with you tonight. Got an email from a listener in Illinois who writes, Greetings, James. Congratulations on celebrating your 22nd year of contributions to our people and the advocacy of our best interests. Thanks to you, Keith, and all those who have helped you during the journey. And, Eddie, he's talking about you. He's talking about Bill Rowland.
[00:24:12] He's talking about Winston Smith. He's talking about Art Frith, who, by the way, Art was up at that meeting in Michigan today where Lou Moore was. And all the people we've met along the way, all the different guests, all the different personalities who have been a part of TPC, the production staff, obviously Sam Bushman. There's other former co-hosts that we didn't mention. A lot of people who've played a role in this whole thing. But 22 years, you know, no man stands alone.
[00:24:38] Our listening family, all the different people, all the different guests who have gifted us their talents. You know, both old and new. And I'll tell you old and new. I mean, or at least old and relatively new. You know, David Duke was a guy who I knew even before the show. Proclaiming liberty across the land. You're listening to Liberty News Radio. News this hour from Town Hall. I'm Mary Rose.
[00:25:05] President Trump says the U.S. military has devastated Iran's ability to conduct war. They've knocked out every jet fighter in Iran. They've knocked out every ship, 259 ships, all at the bottom of the sea. The president spoke to reporters after casting his ballot in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday. The clocks will be changing soon, and that has an impact on health.
[00:25:29] Eric Herzog is a professor of biology at Washington University and says heart attacks have been measured to go up when we spring forward to daylight saving time and heart attacks go down when we fall back. Our internal biological clock, which has been synchronized as best we can to the local light-dark cycle and other daily cues that are in our environment, is challenged to try and adjust.
[00:25:55] Studies also show there's an increase in vehicle crashes for about three days after springing forward. I'm Jim Forbes. What's in a name? Democrats in Alaska hope there's enough confusion surrounding one name to give them an edge in the upcoming midterms. And as Richard Boyd reports, the Trump administration is pushing back. The DOJ is suing Alaska, seeking to block certification of the U.S. Senate election if incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan loses.
[00:26:24] The suit argues that another candidate with the same name could confuse voters and affect the result. Alaska officials previously ruled the challenger ineligible, but a state judge allowed him to remain on the ballot. Both candidates advanced to the general election. President Trump maintains the fake Sullivan is being funded by Democrats to help their candidate, former Representative Mary Peltola.
[00:26:49] Both President Trump and former President Obama will campaign in Michigan this weekend. More on these stories at townhall.com.

[00:30:06] All right, everybody. Well, the Massad, obviously, interrupted us there for that last minute or so, minute and a half. Our producer said, hang on a minute. We've got to reset some equipment here, as she sits on the other side of the glass here at AM 1600 WMQM Studios. But, so I don't know exactly what's the last thing you heard, although what I was telling Eddie is it's very important to be able to show emotion, to show an intense love for one's own kind, our nations, our race, our extended family,
[00:30:35] which is, of course, our races, and hatred for those who seek to do us harm. And in doing so, you do form bonds with your brothers, whether they be in the case of my recent loss, my pastor, Eddie, going by the house I used to live in and all those memories coming flooding back over the last 20, more than two decades, almost 25 years that we've known each other. That's healthy. That's natural. That's what you want. I mean, you want to feel these things.
[00:31:03] As I said, you don't want to be an automaton who's just looking at things analytically and data-driven. And, well, you know, society would probably run better if people, you know, white people were in charge. But, you know, no emotion involved in this, you know, thinking, of course. No. We're not like that. And I don't know if you heard this before, so I'll go quickly here. But, listener in Illinois, greetings, James. Congratulations on celebrating your 22nd year of contributions to our people
[00:31:32] and advocacy of our best interests. Thanks to you, Keith. All those who helped along the journey. Eddie, you're included in that as well as others who have been parts of our staff and crew over the years. Our production team, obviously Sam Bushman, the management here at 1600 WMQM, and so many others, including our guests, by the way. And this is what I wanted to get to before we had to take that break and before we lost contact for a minute. That is the bonds of brotherhood.
[00:32:01] And we were going all the way back. You had mentioned on your program earlier tonight the classic interview with the former Luftwaffe pilot, Lieutenant Godfrey Dullias, that we did. And that was just a wonderful interview that Bill Rowland and I conducted. It was a two-part interview. We did it over the course of two separate shows. The Barnes Review transcribed that interview. And Lieutenant Dullias was just such a warm, wonderful man, obviously very old even in 2007, I think,
[00:32:30] which was by the time we interviewed him. But it was a great – Bill had such a great knowledge of the equipment that the Luftwaffe used in their planes. And it was a wonderful technical interview. Now, one was about his life and his being shot down and his captivity and his surviving the war. And then the second interview was about the equipment, the planes. I was there with Bill when he interviewed him. That was something.
[00:32:56] Bill – I can hear Bill laughing today even though he's gone on across the river Jordan. Don't want to interrupt you, James. But he said – Dullias was talking about he had one round up. He fired a round and he knocked out. Yeah, that's right. That's right. And I was there. And we got such a kick out of that. It said all he needed – all Dullias needed was one round. And one of those things, you know, he made the book.
[00:33:22] Another bowl of capusta that you gave to me, that Ms. Dullias gave to you, you decided to give it to me. And, you know, I wouldn't take anything for the book. But the hell they went through – I was so impressed the hell that the Germans went through and those POW camps in Russia was just beyond belief. And we're going to talk a little bit more about Germany in the next hour with Harry Cooper. He'll be back tonight. But that was a great interview. And I promise we're going to get to some election-related news in Trump. We – hey, listen, you know, we're Southerners.
[00:33:52] And there is a thing called – a phenomenon called Southern Porch Talk and Chasing Rabbids. And we're doing that for a minute right now because we are on the cusp of our 22nd anniversary, big anniversary show next week. But right now we're getting ready for it in this conversation. But I was going to ask you this, Eddie, and then we'll refocus on Trump in the midterms and some interesting things, things that I think will interest the audience in the next segment. But the question is this.
[00:34:18] One of the early, early, early guests that we ever interviewed on TPC going all the way back to 2005 was Lieutenant General Hal Moore. Yes. Now – I remember that. This was a Vietnam warrior, a true war hero, not in the inflated and fictitious sense that someone like John McCain was, but Harold G. Moore was a man. Better believe it.
[00:34:46] And they made a movie about his battle at La Drang called We Were Soldiers. I believe the book was We Were Young Once and Soldiers. And that was his autobiography. And in the movie, Mel Gibson played Hal Moore in the movie. It was a very good movie. Sam Elliott's in the movie, good war movie. Sam Elliott was bad – well, he was bad to the bone in that movie. And Mel Gibson's father, of course, was a very good friend of ours here at TPC until he died.
[00:35:18] And these are just some of the memories. When you're looking back – you know, I can remember doing anniversary shows on like the five-year anniversary, even the ten-year anniversary, you know, over the course of three hours. You could get to most of the highlights. After 22 years, it's impossible. All the experiences, all the different media attention, all the different conferences and triumphs and setbacks and defeats and people you knew and stories you could tell. 22 years, it would take a year to go through them all. Yes. But I do remember Hal Moore coming on, and I remember his voice breaking at the end of the interview.
[00:35:48] And he said that he hates war, but he loves the American warrior. And we were talking about this earlier. I mean, you know, and I appreciate that sentiment. I know what he's saying. And then, of course, you know, we would follow up the question, well, when's the last time an American warrior actually fought for America's best interest? And you'd have to go back to the, you know, Confederate Americans of 1861, really. I mean, what's the last time? But I would ask you this, Eddie. You are a Vietnam War veteran yourself, and you carry all those scars, both physical and emotional.
[00:36:16] How would you relate the feeling of, if this is the word, comradeship between someone like Hal Moore, who was the first man to set foot on that battlefield and the last one to leave? And they were, I mean, that was a battle. What do you know about that battle? I mean, I know you know a lot. But, I mean, you were talking about Broken Arrow was called in. I mean, they were ordering their own Air Force to drop the bombs on top of them. Because they were being overrun.
[00:36:46] Yeah, that was a standing role. Like, you know, when an American unit, at least in those days, when an American unit was being overrun, that's the only time they called it. They called it Broken Arrow. And when it's just, that's all you can, that's all you can do. But, yeah, you know. Well, the question I was going to ask you was this. I mean, because that's a very historic battle. Great movie. Mel Gibson plays him in that. And he was a guest on TPC. But I would ask you this. And I know that the comparisons are going to be different. But you can tell us if there's any similarities.
[00:37:14] The similarities between the nature of a comrade on the battlefield in Vietnam, which you served on as a combat medic, and someone like at the Battle of Charlottesville that you marked with, or even us here on the radio. Now, I know being a radio host can't compare to something life and death like Vietnam. But how would you compare the two? Because only you can. Of all the people that I could ask, only you can compare the two. Does it relate at all?
[00:37:44] Yes, and going back, and I get real emotional sometimes, people. But, yeah, I was a draftee. And the camaraderie, the comradeship between draftees and what we used to call lifers would differ sometimes. But when it hit the fan, the camaraderie would thicken. You know, I was drafted with guys that I was in first grade with, even some of them before first grade.
[00:38:14] And they drafted us in bunches. And I didn't get to go to Vietnam with a lot of them. Some of them I did. And some of them didn't pay at home. They'd come home in body bags. And I'll tell you what, James, I'm not being a trauma queen or anything. But I've never seen anybody that was in combat, especially a combat medic. I've never seen a combat medic that was totally right, didn't have something wrong with him.
[00:38:44] I've never seen anybody in combat. That goes from Jay-Z from Blood River Radio Zone and Political Suspense Zone, AZ. He still carries the wound. Everybody I've seen has something wrong right there with him. But the camaraderie. And I know it's probably a cliche. I've heard people say that before. But when it hits the fan, when it's all hell's breaking loose and you have no medical supplies, and you've got some 17-year-old guy asking you if he's going to die,
[00:39:12] and you say, hell no, you're not going to die, you stupid little bastard. And you're thinking you've got about two and a half minutes. You can't stop the bleeding. And some of these guys you've never even seen. But, I mean, you're fighting to survive. And you're depending on people you've never even seen. They're depending on you, that you've been thrown together maybe for 90 days. In Charlottesville, there's some people I'm bonded to right to this very day. It's very hard when we talk about that. And I know it is. And I don't want to ask you to share too much about Vietnam
[00:39:41] because even after all these years as we've been close together, you've never told me the stories you say you can't. It's horrible. But I remember a man from Texas who met you at our first conference, our 10-year anniversary conference, and he asked you about Vietnam. And he said he expected you to be one of these guys who was puffing up and you took Hamburger Hill by yourself. He said your answer was so real and so honest that he didn't know what to make of it.
[00:40:11] And I still remember that. And I don't even know exactly what the question was or how you answered it, but he said he was absolutely – he said his respect for you, although it was high already, just absolutely soared in terms of the realness of that response. And so, again, I mean, would you say it's comparable at all – I mean, obviously, what's being risked on a battlefield is different than this. I mean, yes, we're risking fortunes and livelihoods, and we're not necessarily risking flesh and blood.
[00:40:42] But would you say it's comparable in some ways? I mean, do you feel that? I'll name it with some names. Rich Hamblin, Matt Goodwin, Gene Andrews, Simon Roach, I wrote this strong stuff. Would you say that that compares – To this day, we have an unbreakable bond. I love those guys. I really do. That was just one year round. All right, we'll be right back. Stay tuned. Hey, y'all.

[00:43:05] It's real time here, folks. It's always real time here on TPC. Real people. And I'll say that's one thing, Eddie, that has always separated our work here from some of even our most capable peers. is that they can come across as just unrelatable.
[00:43:25] There is a sense of fellowship and camaraderie and real life, realness, that I think exudes from the airwaves into the very pores of our listeners. And that we are real people fighting a real fight. And it's relatable.
[00:43:42] And that is the ability for people to relate to us has been something that has been a great blessing because we are just real. And we relate to them and we form relationships with our audience. And it's very near and very dear and very personal.
[00:44:01] If I ever hear about anything that's happening in the lives of one of our listeners, whether it's the passing of a loved one, whether it's the birth of someone, new edition, if it's an anniversary, if it's the loss of a job, if it's any sort of transition in life. If someone cares enough to tell me about it, I always write a handwritten note and send it in in response. And I think, you know, Pap Buchanan taught me that. He always did that. And it's the right thing to do.
[00:44:31] I'm not doing it because he did it. But I learned it from him. And it was the right thing to do. If anybody ever reached out personally, you get a personal response back. And if it's an email, you get an email. If it's something, you know, that rises above the occasion, a handwritten note on stationery will suffice. You know something else, James? Can I say one thing? Yeah. Little Izzy walked by again. Speaking of family. I was there before Izzy, but I was there. I know I said this once tonight on the radio, but I take very much about it.
[00:45:01] The extreme pride. You know, I was the first non-family member to hold Little Izzy. Danny told me that. And she's always been so special to me. She came back by. That's part of the family. I feel like she's my own blood daughter. I just love her so much. I love Henry so much. All your children. It's just like, I don't see how we can be any closer to Blood Kim. But I had to bring that up. Little Izzy, I guess, she was the first. You know, she was the first one to come along. She's talking about Isabel, my 16-year-old daughter, who was named after. We just had Columbus Day earlier this month, named after Queen Isabella.
[00:45:31] And I nicknamed her. I'm the one that gave her the nickname. Yeah, you did. You did. After fried green tomatoes. Even though we are Anglo-Saxons and not Spanish. But we did Isabel. It was an amalgam of honor for Queen Isabella and a southern belle. And we spelled it I-S-A-B-E-L-L-E. Well, this is fried green tomatoes. 16 years ago. She's 16. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's another thing. How'd that happen? But all right. So I'll tell you another anniversary.
[00:45:57] You know, it was a little more than 10 years ago, Eddie, that you and I were at that infamous Trump rally in Millington, Tennessee. Yes. In late February 2016. Seems like yesterday. And it was at the dawn of the Trumpian era. And we got those press credentials and the rest is history. You know about all the media attention that followed and the Donald Trump Jr. interview that followed. And, well, the last 10 years that I followed, the last three election cycles, Trump has dominated.
[00:46:26] And the twilight is now upon us. I go back there, though, then, Eddie. That's just another story as we're looking back on 22 years. That's another chapter in the book. Yes. You know, that particular chain of events in 2016 involving us. But we were there. It was me and you and Keith and Matt the Copperhead and I think a couple of others. But I got the press credentials and I was down there with the media.
[00:46:52] And at that time, everybody on the pro-white right was in the Trump camp. And now it's just so different. You go back to that time, you can understand why you had the hope here now. Still, I could still make the case. I was talking to Jason Kessler earlier today. And the topic of Trump came up. Jason Kessler was just recently in Germany. I mean, just last week, Jason Kessler was in Germany and took a picture standing above the Eagle's Nest. Wow. And you can see the Eagle's Nest in the background. Jason looking sharp.
[00:47:22] And we're going to have Harry Cooper on to talk about the arson at the Eagle's Nest in the next hour. But I was talking to Kessler. I said, if you gave me, and I've said I've used this before, but if you gave me a high school debate team assignment to argue the pros and cons of Trump, I could ace it either way. But it is different now. I mean, I'm at least, again, I've said this so many times. I'm at least glad that government agencies aren't weaponized against us.
[00:47:50] I'm glad that the SPLC is going to be facing a court trial next year. I'm glad for some things. I'm glad J6ers were let out of prison. I mean, I could make the argument, right? But we certainly all know how we could make the argument against. But I go back to that day, Eddie, when we were all together in that hangar, that airplane hangar in Millington, Tennessee. And Trump flies in. He parks his airplane, gets out of the airplane, walks straight to the podium. We're five feet away from him.
[00:48:17] And that was in March, late February of 2016. And when everybody on the pro-white right was in favor of Trump, now here we are 10 years later. Where do you stand on Trump? Well, I've been against him for quite some time. It was obvious that he was controlled by Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, like our Congress is. He's, I just think a whole lot of good to say about him.
[00:48:47] I mean, why, another thing that I despised him for, he was so rabid and full speed, wide open about shutting the campus protests down nationwide with college people. And I never thought I'd see college kids demonstrate in mass against Israel. And he was dead set, you know, he had threatened the universities to have their money cut off if they didn't expel these college students.
[00:49:17] He did have their scholarships revoked. He had them kicked out of school. He got their loans revoked. He had to put them in debt. A lot of them, they would never be able to work again. And again, also, we know that he is a rabid supporter. I mean, he's just a flunky of Benjamin Netanyahu. Everybody knows that. I mean, why in the hell are we going in and bombing in the hell out of the country of Iran? You know, my doctor is Iranian. But, I mean, it's just endless wars for Israel. The borders. Everything that he ran against, by the way.
[00:49:47] Yes. I mean, he got elected running against the Republican establishment on that, running against the Bush Middle Eastern interventionism. And securing the border. And now here we are. Got off to a great start in the second term for a couple of months. And then it was all Israel all the time. And, I mean, they're going to continue. He got rid of Thomas Massey. He hated Thomas Massey. He got rid of everyone who actually supported the things that he ran on.
[00:50:15] Thomas Massey was running on Trump's platform. Yet Trump, we know the men that wear tiny little hats conspired and they got rid of Thomas Massey. I got a question for you, James, right quick. I'd like to speak to one. Yeah. What would you say the number one or maybe even the number two, the top one, the top two arrows or knives in Trump's back?
[00:50:42] What has turned the people against Trump more than anything in the top two issues? I would say the number one is affordability crisis and the cost of living, which is not as sexy to us as mass deportations not happening. Although the border is relatively secure, no mass deportations and this war, this horrific war on Iran, which actually does dovetail into the economy, at least with regards to diesel, gas and diesel prices.
[00:51:12] Diesel is $6 in Tennessee and gas is over four. But the cost of living is the thing. Most people are not ideological partisans as we are. They're going to vote on whoever's going to make it easier. They're going to look after number one, whoever's going to make it easier on their day-to-day life. I would say that the biggest issue that's going to kill Trump is not his subservience to Netanyahu with the electoral public. Maybe with our cause, that's the number one in our listeners.
[00:51:41] But it is the cost of living. The economy is number one. And then number two, A and B, is immigration and foreign policy. And now, I mean, there is no doubt as soon as these elections are over in November, no matter how they turn out, Israel and the United States are going to resume the bombing of Iran. They may even drop a nuke. I think he is that subservient to them on this issue. And I always thought that he was.
[00:52:09] But I was thinking, well, you know, the Democrats can play with House money because they're not in power. They can pretend to be anti-Israel, but they're not in power. If they were in power, they'd be doing the exact same thing Trump's doing because they're owned and operated just the same. So we know that. But I always thought that Trump would give Israel something in terms of foreign policy. But maybe they would give him the leash to do things domestically that we liked. But it just didn't. It didn't happen nearly to the extent that we needed. Let's just say that.
[00:52:37] And they're going to resume the bombing of Iran. They may even drop it. I don't think it's even out of question that they're going to drop some sort of nuke on Iran. And then he's saying today in rallies that he's going to go to Cuba on the way back. I mean, what has Cuba done lately? What are you doing? But all of this stuff and the capture of the president of Venezuela, all of this is just awful, awful, awful. And they are set up for a wipeout.
[00:53:06] However, however, Eddie, you know, the good news is that Israel has been laid bare. You know, if you need a white pill, you know, American public opinion has swung against Israel in a way that we could have never imagined when we first started this show. I mean, you're talking about France and in Holland worldwide. Everybody now sees Israel as the villain. Twenty years ago, it was unfathomable to believe we would ever live to see the day that this would happen.
[00:53:36] But now Israel is so toxic that candidates have to run away from the Israel lobby. And so you have so much greater awareness now than you did even 10 years ago when we were at that first Trump rally here in Tennessee in the early parts of his political run. And AIPAC is now halting endorsements and direct contributions to candidates because it's such a poison pill. So I don't know where that's going to go. I mean, it's not to say that the Israel influence over American media and politics is gone.
[00:54:05] It's just that they are shrouding it much more because their unfavorables are sky high and they're only growing every day. That is a white pill. That is something good. Now, how we can wield that into actual power and policies that we like still remains to be seen. But there are some good trends out there, too, especially amongst the youth. We've talked about that a lot. But this coming requiem for Republicans in two weeks is going to be well-deserved. And you hate to see it because the other side is going to be just as bad on everything.
[00:54:34] Are we going to have a balkanization of political party, so to speak? They're going to be like a parliamentary system. Is that going to happen? I don't know. But I'll tell you, the Democrats are going to be as bad as Trump on everything. And, by the way, they'll weaponize the DOJ to come after him. Put Pappy and me in jail.
