	You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
	The Political Cesspool, going 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.
	Welcome back to the third and final hour of the radio program tonight, ladies and gentlemen, that has been one for the books in 2014.
	A barn burner in every sense of the word.
	And we haven't even gotten Sam Bushman on the show yet.
	And he will be with us for the entire third hour.
	First hour, we had a man of the hour, Sean Bergen.
	Thanks to Peter Scoop Stanton.
	Sean Bergen, who had been fired from his position as a television news reporter in New Jersey, for mentioning that illegitimacy in black communities is a problem that should be discussed.
	He was our guest after having been on with Sean Hannity and many other national television outlets this week.
	He spends a half hour with us in the political cesspool.
	Then Sam Dixon, my goodness, the entire second hour.
	What a great conversation.
	Now we have, it's a Patrick tonight, folks, of incredible guests.
	Sam Bushman, owner of Liberty News Radio Network, host of the Liberty Roundtable show, filling in for a sick Eddie the Bombardier Miller this evening in the third hour that is traditionally Eddie's spot.
	Sam, thank you for pitch hitting tonight.
	Absolutely delighted, and my prayers go out to the bombardier, sir.
	Well, he was outside, you know, Eddie is an outdoorsman, and he was helping a friend in Alabama this week work on his farm, and he overexerted himself and suffered.
	Well, it's the South, folks, so we'll just tell you what happened.
	You know, if you go in the woods, you're going to run into ticks, and Eddie believes he has had an adverse reaction to tick bites.
	But, you know, what are we going to do?
	But he is fine.
	I mean, he's on the men, but he's at home and not well enough to be on the show tonight.
	And he will come back next week.
	And Keith Alexander back a couple of weeks after that after having tended to some business.
	So it's been an interesting summary the last few weeks.
	We've been doing some patchwork shows.
	Not in the sense of that they have been any less good or of any less quality.
	In fact, I think the shows we've done over the last few weeks have been better than ever, quite frankly.
	But having Winston Smith come in a little bit to spell Keith and now Sam to spell Eddie, it's lively to get out of the demo.
	You know, James, I just want to say it just shows how deep in talent the political cesspool is, huh?
	Well, we've got some resources.
	When they come in like you, it certainly makes us rich in talent.
	Talent lies in the all-stars that make this show possible.
	At least it's on-air version.
	Of course, the fans make all of our work possible.
	But anyway, Sam, enough of that.
	Welcome to the show, my friend.
	We've got a lot to cover this hour, and I know we got to call her before we can get to any of them.
	Yes, we do.
	Copperhead, you're on the radio, sir.
	Good evening, Sam James and Greener Cesspool Family of the World.
	How you doing this evening?
	Matt, we are doing great.
	And before you comment or ask your question, I wanted to ask you, a listener who never misses a show, what do you think about tonight's broadcast so far?
	It's an absolute barn burner.
	You can see the flames and feel them on the backdrop of the New York skyline in Manhattan.
	Which is where you're coming from tonight.
	Very well put.
	I mean, it's an absolute barn burner.
	Greatness in radio, unsurpassed, none other, making this show what it is, the greatest on terrestrial and internet radio, the political cesspool.
	Well, thank you so much for saying that, my dear friend.
	And I want to share with the audience.
	And before you share with the audience, it's live and on-demand at thepoliticalcesspool.com, the unlimited listen line anytime anywhere on your phone.
	Turn your phone into a radio and tell your friends 712-432-5339.
	That's 712-432-5339.
	James?
	Well, and Sam Bushman there has done so much to make this show accessible.
	There's so many different ways to listen on the internet if you don't live in a market that carries our show on the terrestrial dial.
	And you can find all that information at LibertyRoundtable.com as well.
	But Matt the Copperhead with us on the phone right now.
	And Matt had actually, sharing a behind-the-scenes story very quickly, had gotten in touch with me earlier this week about the Sean Bergen story.
	And it just so happens that the Copperhead had informed me about this incident about a day after Peter Scoop Stanton had begun to work on it and get in touch with Bergen.
	So I know that you have a vested interest in the topic of the first hour, correct, Copperhead?
	Oh, absolutely.
	And a wholehearted salute to Mr. Stanton, Scoop Stanton, pulling a great interview and captioning that and bringing it home for us, you know, for us in the audience and the political accessible staff today.
	And thanks to the guy with the scoop and the copperhead and James Edwards and others.
	Now, Bergen's going to be on Liberty Roundtable Tuesday morning also.
	Oh, that's right.
	That's right.
	That's outstanding.
	You're right.
	So be sure to tune in to LibertyRoundtable.com as this conversation continues when Sam Bushman will interview him on his weekly, or rather his daily show is what it is.
	It's every weekday, Monday through Friday.
	But yeah, you know, and it's becoming an increasing trend that when we reach out to these people, they appear.
	You know, it doesn't happen often only because we don't do it often.
	We stick to our bread and butter.
	We stick to the stories and the commentary that other networks won't use.
	But when we have reached out to guests that are somewhat outside of our standard fare who have been on the O'Reilly factor, Sean Hannity and some of these other mega shows, they come on the political festival.
	They make time on their schedule.
	There's Sean Bergen, the latest example.
	But of course, there were people like Sidney Leathers and others who have been making news that come on the political festival.
	And it just goes to show where we're going in the media.
	Right.
	Right.
	And please, I feel that every time you begin to make a point, I stomp in, but take it away, my brother.
	Hey, I just wanted to touch base for the audience what's going on.
	We have a sitting congressman here in New York by the name of Elliot Engel that is calling for direct war.
	He's calling for direct the incident that happened, unfortunately, in the Ukraine with the shooting down of the Air Malaysia flight.
	And you have a lot of people all over the states that are calling for direct action on this.
	And a lot of people are basically telling this like the Russians have done this once already, actually, with the Soviet Union with the shooting down of Korean Air Flight 007.
	Unfortunately, Congress, the great Congressman McDonald, passed away on that flight.
	But they're chowing this like we're keeping score in some pool hole in Bayonne, New Jersey.
	And this is becoming really significant.
	And there's some facts that are not getting out there.
	And the Soviet Union, Russia was not the only country, nation, to shoot down an airliner.
	And, you know, we've had our own incident with the U.S. Navy shooting down of the Iranian Airbus 300 on the Straits of Hormuz en route to Dubai back in 88.
	And the Ukrainians have actually shot down a plane back in 2001.
	On a training mission they had with the surface-to-air missile.
	They shot down an air Siberia flight.
	Sam, I want to toss that to you.
	I'm sure you've covered, followed this a little more closely than I have.
	Yeah, here's my response, Copperhead.
	Number one, your historical facts of sighting are accurate indeed and correct.
	And I would simply humbly take a page out of the blueprint of the founders, George Washington in specific.
	I would stand for a humble foreign policy and I would say, you know what, we're not Russia.
	We're not the Ukraine or the Ukraine.
	It's on the other side of the world.
	We ought to not be involved.
	We ought to not have a stake in that fight.
	We ought to say, I love you both, and you ought to take a copy of the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution, and have peace in your countries, too.
	I think we ought to keep our nose clean and stay out of it, sir.
	Amen to that.
	Amen to that.
	Well, folks, that being said, we're going to take our first time out of this hour, but we've got a lot of stories to cover with Sam Blissman right after this.
	Thanks for the call, Copperhead.
	We love you.
	All the best, guys.
	Love you, Tim.
	Are you familiar with the term vigor?
	Strength in body and mind?
	He pursued his tennis game with vigor, for example.
	Well, I hadn't, but I learned about it from Kurt Crosby.
	All right, and he actually let me take a scientifically proven free vigor test.
	And I got 13 out of 32, not very good.
	But I worked on it with him, and believe it or not, now I have a 29 out of 32 and improving vigor score.
	You say, Sam, what on earth is this scientific vigor score, huh?
	My response is you got to take the free test available now.
	Get a hold of Kurt Crosby to learn about it.
	The number's 801-669-2211.
	That's 801-669-2211.
	Or email Kurt, C-U-R-T, at LibertyRoundtable.com.
	That's Kurt, C-U-R-T, at LibertyRoundtable.com for your free vigor test today.
	Kurt, LibertyRoundtable.com or 801-669-2211.
	Vigor test, free, scientifically proven today.
	We fought, we learned, we struggled, we won.
	Despite Obama's best efforts, the newspaper of the human resistance survives.
	We have lived only to face a new nightmare, the war against the machines.
	Read about our struggle in The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
	The Sovereign is a 24-page monthly tabloid newspaper about the war between man and machinery.
	We've tried reason.
	We've tried legislation.
	We've tried every peaceful means imaginable.
	And all it's gotten us is shut out.
	So now we fight the machines.
	Order online today at thesovnews.com or find the sovereign at select newsstands.
	Remember to read the sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
	The human resistance's battle against the machines will be everlasting.
	This is mercy.
	It was never our destiny to stop the age of Obama.
	It was merely to survive it.
	Together.
	Together.
	Imagine a school where faith and integrity are at its center, where heritage and responsibility instill character.
	Where educating both hearts and minds brings about academic excellence.
	There is a school in American Fork where character and embracing the providence of a living God are fundamental.
	Where students' national test scores average near the 90th percentile.
	Based on LDS principles and a love of country, now in our 39th year, American Heritage School is accepting fall enrollment for kindergarten through high school.
	What would you do for your child?
	Give them an education that will prepare them for life.
	Located east of the temple in American Fork, American Heritage School is a remarkable and affordable alternative.

	And now, back to tonight's show.
	Welcome back to the Political Festival Radio Program.
	It has been a fast-paced and frenzied broadcast tonight.
	We have covered so much ground, still more ground to cover.
	We're going to get to our next caller in just a couple of moments, Tom on the Mason-Dixon line has called in.
	We're going to get to Tom in just a second.
	I want to also encourage others to call in tonight.
	Feel free.
	1-866-986 News.
	1-866-986-News.
	We're going to open up the phone lines here in this third and final hour.
	Sam Bushman, owner of the network, is with us.
	And Sam.
	Hey, James, you want to know what this show reminds me of tonight?
	It reminds me of an Eddie Miller marathon run.
	Duchey, I'm sure Eddie's listening.
	In fact, I know Eddie's listening from home because he's been sending me messages.
	And I'm sure he'll get a kick out of that for dropping his name here in his third hour.
	But Sam, you know, I'm going to cover a couple of stories before the time runs from the hourglass.
	I do want to cover this one first.
	It's that story out of Oregon that I told you about.
	The one in which, well, actually, the title of it from the Portland, Oregonian newspaper, which is the daily paper in Portland, Oregon, is Christian Clubs in Public Schools.
	Organizers promises the clubs won't address gay marriage or politics.
	And basically what's going on here is that a network of evangelical Christian clubs is expanding to Portland area public schools this year, and a coalition of residents is already rising against them.
	And that's probably three or four people, but the media is going to make it look as though everybody in Portland, Oregon is anti-Christian and that that's the way to go.
	If you're wondering, the club's presence in public schools point, in fact, is legal.
	The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that religious organizations have the same right to use public school campuses for accessible activities as other outside organizations.
	But Sam, what got me about this story was that the leaders of this organization, which is called the Good News Club, went out of its way to promise that the club wouldn't address homosexual marriage.
	And I don't have a problem with that being in its curriculum inso much as I don't want school kids.
	I wouldn't want my daughter to know about homosexual marriage at all.
	But since it is being brought up in public schools, you know it's being pushed upon them.
	The Christian group should certainly put forth the correct stand on that issue.
	It also went to great lengths to promise that it's not going to be involved politically as if they are just scared to death to tackle an issue or a topic that might get them labeled as controversial.
	But this was the thing, they did stand their ground on one thing.
	The parents that are in objection of this club said that they don't want them psychologically damaging their children by teaching them that they're a sinner.
	The club did hold their line on that, saying that that disagreement is with God himself because the Bible clearly says that all have sinned.
	It's not a matter that some have and some haven't.
	The good news is that God loves all sinners, which is true, but we certainly must turn towards Christ and reject him.
	James, here's my concern.
	There's several concerns I have about this.
	Number one, it sounds like the Good News Club forgot to tell the good news.
	On anything that was politically incorrect, yeah.
	Well, that, and you know what?
	Good news of Christ and his teachings are very politically incorrect, but they're morally correct.
	And you know what's interesting to me is when we use this term politics, that's nothing more than a deathnail term to make everybody check out of the game.
	If I say religion and politics, now nobody wants to talk, right?
	We don't talk about those things.
	And I'm saying to you that there are no political issues, sir.
	There are only moral issues.
	And that's the good news that we can teach moral education.
	We can talk about moral issues.
	And we can do it from an almighty creator's point of view and be right every time.
	Sure.
	Well, you know, I shared with you before the show started that I went shopping today in an antique mall with my wife and daughter, and there was a homemade message painted on a piece of art, painted on a piece of driftwood that I bought.
	And it reads, We must teach our children to follow Christ because the world will teach them to reject Him, which is absolutely true.
	And the whole concept of Christianity has evolved into this sort of thing that God is love and you can do no wrong.
	And basically, God is your cosmic butler.
	You can call on Him when you're scared or when you're having trouble, but you don't really have to sacrifice anything or change your and that's a lie.
	Look, the gospel of Jesus Christ has always been controversial.
	When the Savior Himself was on the earth, it was very controversial.
	They hated his guts.
	And he let out with a message of peace and a message of example.
	But he wasn't always peaceful, though.
	He was very direct when it came to loving the sinner, hating the sin, very dedicated to maintaining principle, although he forgave and he rejected the status quo of the mainstream.
	But he was very consistent.
	He was very forgiving.
	He was the prince of peace, but he also was very bold for his father's work.
	Well, it's all true, Sam, but this is just another example, and this isn't a new topic by any stretch.
	We cover it quite often on the show.
	But it seems as though, you know, Christians were the world.
	Unfortunately, the world is changing Christianity, and this group in Oregon is just the latest example of which they're going to trim their sails to avoid controversy.
	And even though they trimmed their sails, they are still, according to this article, being opposed by the majority, it leads you to believe of citizens up there.
	And it's a shame, but they have got to take a righteous stand against these issues that are so clear-cut in God's word.
	And I'll just leave it at that because I know we've got a caller that we need to work in before the break.
	Tom on the Mason-Dixon line.
	Tom.
	All right.
	I got to get Tom.
	Hi, Tom.
	How are you doing?
	It's doing great.
	It's been almost 10 years I've been listening to you guys, you know?
	Oh, my goodness.
	You were one of our founding listeners then.
	Right.
	I'm probably one of your earliest listeners.
	And I was just really thrilled to talk to you and how much I love this show.
	It has a nostalgia effect for me.
	When I hear you guys on there talk, and I think back, you know, 40 years ago or more, and I'm yelling again, and I'm talking to my friends, you know, and that's how I feel.
	But what I wanted to call you about tonight, and the thing really motivates me.
	By the way, Tom, just to chime in before we let you continue, the reason that nostalgia hits home is because it speaks of a moral world.
	It speaks of a world when you can actually tell your kids, hey, go to the cops.
	They'll help you.
	Nowadays, you're like, they might tase you.
	Don't you dare.
	And it really brings back a view of the world and a view of America and a view of Christianity and a view of things that were right for right's sake, a view of simplicity and a view of power and integrity and honor.
	And those are the things that we've lost, huh?
	That's very much, that's very, very true, Sam.
	We forget about the importance of belief and our belief in Jesus Christ and how that, you know, that really is our, you know, our whole, the basis of our whole morality.
	But, you know, this thing at WNL at Washington and Lee, this really tears me up.
	And I'll tell you why.
	You know, everybody says, well, Lee, this, Lee was a great military leader and all that.
	But, you know, in all honesty, if we look back, I look back at my Confederate ancestors, you know, I've read some of their records and everything.
	And, you know, I think we probably all say, you know, you know, these guys were malcontents, malingerers, slackers.
	You know, it just, everything wasn't all, you know, bravery and we're going to go out and kill the Yankees.
	I mean, there was a lot of real, you know, you know, laid, laid, you know, they were laid back as much as they could.
	They weren't going out and sticking their neck out.
	But Lee was able to motivate them.
	He was able to motivate them to go out there and try to do something.
	And I think that's one of the great things that we have to look at at Lee was just maybe this Christian motivation or something like that that he was able to impart on his men, you know.
	And when I look back at, you know, the gang I'm from, and I'm thinking, man, he must have had one heck of a time with it, you know.
	But he did it.
	He was able to do it.
	And I think that we've all forgotten that.
	And, you know, when we think of it, here's a guy, too.
	What did he teach?
	Organizing, planning, management, all these real important things that, you know, run a modern society.
	Well, one of the most important things he stood for that I think is critical is the checks and balances that our founders put in place, James.
	Oh, everything.
	Everything, Sam.
	And I think this is just, this is just terrible that they're going to rip, you know, they're actually ripping the guts out of Lee when they take those flags out of that chapel.
	And I'll put a break talk.
	Why don't you stay on the line with us if you don't mind through the commercial break so we can wrap up this call in a proper fashion in just a few minutes?
	Stay tuned, everybody.

	Gentlemen, that was Peter Frampton asking, do you feel like I feel?
	And I think we have a longtime listener of the Political Successful who does, in fact, feel the way we feel.
	That was Tom, Tom, who was called in from the Mason-Dixon mine.
	Tom, I just wanted to hold you over to the break to thank you for having listened to us that long and still being able to stand us.
	But you were talking about the story.
	You're quite welcome, James.
	Well, thank you.
	And you were talking about the story that we covered in the first hour, one of the stories we covered in the first hour about how the Confederate flag, that righteous symbol of decency and Western civilization being removed from the crypt of Robert D. Lee at his own university, the University of Richmond.
	They're in the chapel.
	James, they're taking them right.
	They took them right out of the chapel.
	And that's, you know, I can't, I just can't believe that that was done.
	And one of the things I have to ask is some of these fellas who went to Washington on the Lee are fairly prominent.
	You've got some big-name lawyers.
	You've got some big-name historians and lawyers who've written highly of Lee.
	And how they can put up with this is beyond me.
	I just don't understand how they could stomach it.
	And that's a question that I have to ask, you know, to some of these fellas.
	How can you take this insult?
	Because it's an insult.
	It's an insult.
	It's an insult to our ancestors, too.
	Well, you know, and the thing about us is I truly, I mean, I have those with whom I believe in and revere, obviously, like Robert E. Lee.
	But I don't, even for the people that I couldn't care less about, that were certainly a bane on the existing, you know, on A boil on the backside of humanity, like Martin Luther King.
	I don't ever waste any time or effort or thought on working to remove a Martin Luther King statue from somewhere.
	I mean, if they want to have that, if that's who they look, you know, I wouldn't do that because I'm not that vindictive and hate-filled, mean-spirited.
	But, I mean, to do it from someone's grave.
	I mean, good God, what kind of an animal could have that much control?
	Well, the next thing they'll do is if we put flowers on the grave, they'll steal the flowers.
	Come on.
	It's just gotten that bad.
	And I, you know, I can't, I really don't blame those black kids either.
	I mean, I think this is more coming from the president of Washington.
	They have an agenda.
	It's not about black or white.
	That's just a dividing chip they use.
	It's about the destruction of America and the checks and balances put in place by the founders because they're tyrants and they want to be kings.
	That's what it's about.
	Well, and Sam, I'm glad you mentioned that again.
	And in fact, the main reason, after a couple of minutes have already passed, that was actually the main reason I wanted to keep Tom on, or one of the main reasons is that you had mentioned that before the break, and that is what Robert E. Lee believed in.
	He believed in that kind of a government, the government that was set in place by his forebears and his heroes.
	And Stonewall Jackson, who is buried just a few hundred yards down the road from Robert E. Lee, has said that if the union prevailed, it would be the triumph of tyranny.
	It would be the triumph of the banks.
	It would be the end of free and responsible government on this continent.
	And boy, were they ever right.
	It's just a damn shame.
	I really appreciate listening to you fellas.
	You mean a lot to me, and I hope you keep it up for a long, long time to come.
	Thank you, Tom.
	We're certainly going to work towards the time.
	And let me tell you this as you go.
	You've been listening to us for 10 years.
	I want to offer you a personal invitation to join us this October.
	If you can make the trip to Memphis, we would love to see you.
	Sam Bushman will be there.
	I'll be there for the 10-year anniversary party.
	If anyone should be there, it should be a guy that's listened to us from day one.
	I hope you can send it out.
	All right, there he goes, Tom.
	We appreciate him.
	All right, James, you've got tons of news, don't you?
	The callers of the show are certainly every bit as qualified as the host, as far as I'm concerned.
	Amen to that.
	Well, Sam, I've got another story for you, one that you've been tracking as well.
	And surprisingly, to an extent, this has brought forth a little bit of controversy.
	There, I use that word, even on my own website.
	And the way people have viewed this or their reaction to it, it was the story of a teenage girl who had gone to the World Cup competition in Brazil.
	And she was spotted, I guess, by a cameraman and had a few seconds of FaceTime as a face in the crowd.
	And just from that instance, was picked up by L'Oreal, the women's makeup line, and given a modeling contract.
	So basically, this image of her for a split second or for a few seconds captured the imagination of people.
	It went viral.
	And she received millions of people, though.
	Let's be clear.
	Right?
	So say that again, Sam.
	Millions of people.
	Millions.
	Yes.
	Five million views alone have been seen by this video that L'Oreal put up.
	Yeah, my only point is no small flash in the pen, though.
	Millions.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Millions of people.
	But she is still fired.
	Fired because it was discovered on her Facebook page that she had gone hunting.
	And she is pictured here.
	And actually, the picture that got her the contract tells a comparison to the picture of her in this black pull-up with sunglasses on and a ponytail with a rifle slung over her shoulder.
	And so she had gone hunting, basically.
	And so the left is using this as a teachable moment in that you better watch what you say and do.
	Certainly, now is just as taboo as speaking out on issues like Sean Bergen did, the story we covered in the first hour.
	So because she had gone hunting, or because she had a picture of her over her game that she had hunted, she lost this opportunity.
	Sim, I'll let you take it from there, and then I'll read some of the pros and cons in reaction to the story from our own audience.
	Well, I find what's fascinating about this, I support the gal to be able to get a contract.
	She deserves it.
	And I support her freedom to go hunting.
	And whether you agree or disagree with hunting isn't the point.
	What we should all be doing, agree or disagree with the hunting view.
	And by the way, I'm fine with her going hunting.
	And if she wants to go hunting for an elk or a deer, I hope she brings me back some jerky.
	You know what I'm talking about?
	Anyway, all I'm telling you, though, is whether you're against or for her hunting shouldn't be the point.
	The question is, do you want people to have agency to decide for themselves, to be self-governed, to do the things that they feel they ought to do, want to do, believe in doing?
	And do you support them for their beliefs' sake?
	In other words, I'm going to support people in many cases that I completely disagree with, but I'm going to support their right to think as they do because I support that agency or freedom for all of us.
	And sometimes we need to agree to be disagreeable or whatever you want to say in the sense that, hey, I reject these people shutting her down.
	Not because I disagree with them on hunting, although I do, but I reject their shutting her down.
	And what if it was somebody who didn't hunt?
	Let's say that she was against hunting and she made her claim to fame on not hunting.
	I would support her right to not hunt as much as I want my right to hunt supported.
	And we need to understand that it's about principle.
	It's about agency and someone's ability to be self-governed and choose and not be forced by a politically correct crowd or a government or a who knows who that want to steal our agency and rights.
	It's about freedom to choose, James.
	Well, it is.
	And I was reading some of the comments that I got via email and otherwise after having posted the story to bepoliticalsuccessful.org this week.
	And some of them took the stand that we did, that obviously this is just more political correctness run amug.
	But some of our very regular listeners and contributors said that they feel no remorse for this girl whatsoever.
	Just another rich girl that, you know, if she has the money to go to Africa on a safari to hunt, if she has the money to go to Brazil for a World Cup, I believe she was from Belgium.
	That, you know, her lot in life is, you know, set and she probably wasn't with us on the sensitive issues anyway.
	So, you know, why post this?
	It's a non-issue.
	It's a non-story.
	I see what they're saying to an extent, but I would still say, you know, regardless of this, she's conservative, liberal, or having never even thought about politics.
	Let's say she is a rich girl, though.
	You know what?
	In America, we believe that getting rich, making a profit, there's nothing wrong with that, right?
	Right.
	No, no, no, you're exactly right.
	I mean, if she, you know, if her parents had worked hard and had made a living and had afforded her with luxury that, you know, certainly we don't have.
	But nevertheless, I mean, she shouldn't have been fired for having gone hunting.
	And we see this all the time.
	I mean, now it's hunting.
	Hunting is now a line, a lubicon that you cannot cross without fear of repercussion.
	And that was another debate that some of our folks had, Sam.
	They don't mind hunting if you hunt for sustenance, but you shouldn't hunt just for sports.
	Some are sports hunters, and I don't have a problem at all with sports hunters, you know, as great people.
	But that all kind of got into it as well.
	But you see people now, so now you're suffering a price for having gone hunted.
	And you say, well, you know, she didn't deserve the modeling contract.
	There's nothing she did to work for that other than having been born beautiful.
	But still, though, hunting is now something that we have to scrub from the way we live and do things.
	We saw, though, and it's not just hunting.
	I mean, we saw that certainly the Olympic athlete, you know, talking about the World Cup athlete a couple of years ago representing Greece.
	Her name was Bula Papacristo.
	And just because she had commented in private that she was the supporter of a conservative political party in Greece, they threw her off the Olympic team.
	Now, she had won the trial.
	She had beaten the competition and earned the spot to compete in the Olympic Games.
	But because she had mentioned that she supported an alternative conservative political party, they threw her off the team.
	And now, you know, you have people losing contracts for hunting.
	When will it stop, Sam?
	And I'm going to tell you.
	I think somebody needs to jump in and bring up the Hank Williams Jr. song Hunting for the Two Leggeds a lot more fun and see how they deal with that.
	I'm going to tie it together with another story right after this.
	Then we're going to find out about it.

	I want to quickly tie in two stories.
	I'm going to let Sam Dixon, Sam Dixon, Sam Bushman carry us to two syllables, you know, the same amount of letters.
	I mean, what are you going to do?
	Sam Bushman carry us to the finish line.
	But in talking about the story where the girl was released from her contract with L'Oreal for having gone hunting, I want to be consistent here in what I say.
	Always maintain that private businesses, and L'Oreal would be one of them, private businesses, private companies, private organizations should always reserve the right to do business with whomever they want for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
	I am consistent in that.
	Yes, they have the right to fire her, and I have the right to be opposed to it.
	It's just seeing this as, oh, yes, L'Oreal took a stand for something good.
	But let's look on the flip side.
	Is the media willing to be as consistent as I am?
	There is a national chain called Bar Louie.
	We have a Bar Louie franchise here in Memphis.
	It's a bar.
	I guess you can get some food there too.
	I've never been in it, but I know what it is.
	Bar Louie.
	Well, there is a Bar Louis franchise in Minnesota who is learning the hard way that you should know better than to ask certain narrative wells not to come in and make a mess of the place.
	Basically, all they did, though, they didn't say no blacks allowed.
	It wasn't some obtuse like that.
	Bar Louis has a dress code.
	Although we believe they should be able to say no blacks allowed or no whites a little out or whatever they want if it's their business.
	Not that we agree with that stand, but we agree that they have that choice to make that stand.
	I absolutely couldn't agree with you more, Sam.
	Absolutely.
	They should have the freedom, whether we agree with it or not, to do anything they want.
	Certainly, I disagree with the L'Oreal and I agree with Bar Louie, but the thing is, L'Oreal gets a pat on the back.
	They do.
	Bar Louie tried to take the exact same freedom and liberty to post a message that only said dress code enforced.
	No flat bill hat.
	No sleeveless undershirts, aka wife beaters.
	They didn't put the wife beater part.
	That's editorializing on my part.
	No excessively bagging clothing.
	No excessively baggy clothing.
	No large chains worn outside of the shirt, etc.
	So basically, you know what they're getting at.
	They don't want gang members to come in.
	They don't want thugs to come in.
	Yes, the people who typically dress like that are black.
	Get over it.
	That's just the way it is.
	Well, it reminds me of the general.
	It reminds me, James, of the general that went on American Idol and Pants on the Ground song.
	You know, he was saying that same thing, right?
	Well, that's absolutely right.
	I mean, you know, responsible black people will understand that, yes, I mean, this isn't the way to dress.
	And when you dress like that, you normally bring with you a certain element that is, you know, not, what's the adjective I'm looking for?
	Well, nobody in their right mind wants that part of their establishment.
	It's not desirable, right?
	If you dress, typically you're going to have an attitude and a presence that's not desirable, as undesirable as the clothing.
	But anyway, long story short, Bar Louis puts the, it's just what it reads is what it is.
	That was the note.
	Well, the entire media up there in Minnesota just came down on them how racist they are and how dare you post something like that.
	How dare you be prejudiced and blah, blah, blah.
	You know, so you can have private property rights if you are backing up political correctness, but if you put up, you know, basically something that says you want everybody to come in to be decently dressed, then you got to pay the Piper.
	No private property rights there.
	And I'm sure Bar Louis is going to relent on this.
	Sam, I'll let you comment on that and then take us to our next story.
	All I can tell you is this.
	I believe in people's right to choose.
	And even though people choose things I think are horrible or I disagree with or whatever you want to say that I think are reprehensible or whatever, I want to stand for people's right to choose as they will.
	And sometimes that puts me in very strange circumstances because I'm saying, hey, you know, I'll give you an example.
	I don't like the gay and lesbian agenda.
	I stand against it.
	I think it's immoral.
	However, you know what?
	People can choose that if they choose.
	What they can't do is make me teach that to my kids or act like I have to be on board or I'm some kind of a terrorist.
	Okay, that's the problem.
	We've got to allow people to believe as they will.
	And we need to believe that all people are equal and we want special privileges for nobody.
	And we simply need to allow and live and live to some degree, like the libertarians believe.
	The problem is all these near-do-well groups want to have their agenda forced on the rest of us.
	And if we object, we're some kind of an evil destructor of society in some way.
	And that's got to stop.
	And we need to stand up for those things.
	Well, there's an interesting story to wrap up with, James.
	There's this girl, and her name is Crystal.
	Sure.
	And Crystal is an MSNBC host.
	And she was doing hard-hitting news.
	And she was covering this plane that went down.
	And the Americans are claiming the Russians did it.
	And I don't even know who did it.
	Okay.
	You can't trust the press.
	However, she said, hey, you know what?
	I got this general.
	I'm sorry.
	I got this sergeant on the line.
	And he's going to tell us about the details because he saw it happen.
	And so we got an eyewitness here.
	This is serious news.
	Exclusive, she says, MSNBC.
	Now, the host is named Crystal Ball.
	So Crystal Ball put this guy on the air, the sergeant.
	Her name is Crystal Ball, and I'll finish up and tell you how we know it is her real name in a second.
	But here's the soundbite of her interviewing the supposed sergeant.
	It was a prank, and she got snookered.
	We'll listen in and then chat about it.
	Let's turn now to an MSNBC exclusive.
	U.S. Staff Sergeant Michael Boyd is at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine and says that he saw a missile in the air hit the plane.
	He is on the phone with us.
	Sergeant, are you there?
	Yes, I'm here.
	Can you hear me?
	I can.
	Please tell us what you saw there on the ground in Ukraine.
	Well, I was looking out the window and I saw a projectile flying through the sky.
	And it would appear that the plane was shot down by a blast of wind from Howard Stern.
	So it would appear that the plane was shot down.
	Can you tell us anything more from your military training of what sort of missile system that may have been coming from?
	Well, you're a dumb, aren't you?
	I'm sorry, sir.
	She still doesn't get it.
	All right, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be back with all the latest next.
	All right, I don't know why she didn't check into her crystal ball for this one, but the bottom line is that it was a Howard Stern fan, and the Howard Stern fan pulled a prank on her, and he basically said that it came out of Howard Stern's A and then blasted the plane, and he saw it all, and then she still didn't get it, and then he goes, hey, you're a dumb A.
	And the bottom line is everybody's laughing all over the internet about it and everything else.
	And I think it's tragic.
	I don't think he should have done that to her, but it's interesting how they want to say we're not legitimate journalists, that we don't have quote credentials, that we shouldn't have a stake in the news business when it comes to the who, what, when, where, and why.
	But somehow she should.
	And that's what happens, James.
	You know, in listening to that, as much as I find MSNBC absolutely despicable, and they have, you know, trashed me and the political cesspool several times over the years, especially their resident, Well, I mean, lesbian Rachel Maddow has come after us a time or two that I can quite vividly remember.
	And so as much as I have no love lost for MSNBC, and just listening to that clip, I almost felt sorry for that woman.
	In fact, a little bit of me did, if I'm meekly.
	Well, she was a dare in the headlights, to say the least.
	Now, let's talk about who this crystal gal is, because they want to tell you that I don't have any credentials to be in the media, although I've been in the media for 20 years.
	I own a news network.
	I'm my own engineer.
	I have a little bit of talent for talk.
	So I'm just telling you, I would say that my credentials are pretty stellar.
	Nevertheless, here's the deal with this crystal girl.
	First off, we know that her name is really Crystal Ball.
	And she's married to a man named John Something, but she keeps her own name because she likes Crystal Ball.
	Now, she didn't look into her Crystal Ball to not get snookered on this one, but nevertheless, her father named her Crystal because he was a physicist that did his dissertation on crystals, believe it or not.
	And what's interesting about this story is Crystal Ball, believe it or not, was a nobody.
	And she was running for Congress and a bimbo eruption happened.
	A scandal occurred.
	And she was, I guess there was a bunch of photos with her.
	It was kind of like a Halloween night or something like that.
	There was a bunch of costumes and masks and she was half naked or naked and she had somebody on a leash.
	And anyway, all these pictures broke to the mainstream press.
	Well, normally a girl would be embarrassed and chagrined and back away and deny or whatever else.
	And then she'd go away as discredited or destroyed.
	Crystal Ball did the opposite.
	She looked up at everybody and said, so what?
	Men do it all the time.
	That's kind of like the Mindy McCready song kind of.
	Guys do it all the time.
	And she basically said, yeah, so what?
	So I was at a party when I was younger.
	This happened.
	Who cares?
	Are you going to have a double standard abusing women?
	And because they didn't dare take her on over that and talk about immorality for everyone, they got caught in the double standard trick.
	And then the mainstream press had to back away.
	And she eventually became a rock star and ended up with an NBC host contract.
	Or I'm sorry, MSNBC host contract over it.
	So her doubling down on immorality and promoting her salacious acts made her a rock star, just as Sidney Leathers and many others that we find.
	Monica Lewinsky, the list goes on and on.
	That's her whole claim to fame.
	And I find it fascinating how they say we're not qualified to be in the media, but she is.
	Good luck with that plan, folks.
	Well, Sam, I appreciate you giving us the backstory on Crystal Ball.
	And if you've ever watched MSNBC, don't admit it, but I knew who she was, and I knew she was a hostess on that show, or on that network, rather.
	But I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, but this is what passes as mainstream journalism to get punked like that and to not even catch it.
	I mean, to not question that guy's answer.
	I don't even know how that guy got through.
	I mean, how does a guy like that, we can't, you know, get on the media.
	I would submit when you have some Howard Stern help, you might get it done.
	Thanks for covering for Eddie tonight.
	It's been a great show.
	Folks, we will be playing a tape next week.
	We'll be back with you in two weeks, and we'll look forward to that.
	God bless everybody.
	Live life the way we do without retreat, surrender, or apology.
