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 Edward.
Well, I saw the thing coming out of the sky, but one long horn and one big eye.
I come to shaking in the city.
It looks like a purple people leader to me.
It was a one-eyed, one-horn flying purple people leader.
One-eyed, one-part flying purple people.
A one-eyed one.
Oh, boy.
Eddie, the Bombardier Biller on our anniversary weekend.
Do you know who sings that?
Well, I don't know who sings it, but I remember when it came out.
That's how old I am.
I'm dating myself, though.
That had to be back in the bathroom, 50s.
It was in the 50s, but I, as the 50s and 60s pop aficionado that I am, know that that is Sheb Willie.
Oh, Sheb Willie.
I remember that song so well.
In fact, when I think about that song, I was in a 55 Plymouth going south down Highway 61 to Larry Rains' house who's now deceased.
Was America better or worse than 55?
It was much better.
Much, much, much better.
We're going to get to edit for these kids, I'm looking at it.
All right.
So he mentioned the kids.
So here's what's happened since the second and third hour break.
So I told you earlier tonight, ladies and gentlemen, it's Halloween weekend.
It's TPC's anniversary weekend.
It's my son's birthday weekend.
It's everything.
This is a festive time of year for the Edwards family.
So just before we came to the studio, or just before I came to the studio tonight, rather, we were at a pumpkin carving family pumpkin carving event, and I had to leave.
But now my wife has joined us in the studio.
We're all going to ride home together, apparently.
And the party bus has arrived.
So we have my son, my daughter, and a couple of slumber party friends who are going to be joining us at home this evening.
And my son is four years old today.
This is his actual birthday, October 27th.
Henry, how old?
Henry, how old are you?
Four.
What's your favorite number?
Four.
How old do you want to be forever?
Four.
Okay.
Now, with Henry is his good friend Adam Jr.
AJ is here with us.
AJ, would you like to say hello to everybody listening around the world tonight?
Oh, hello.
My name is Adam Daniel Harry Jr.
And I would like to say that, well, it's my best friend's little birthday today.
And that he's my best friend.
And I'm spending the night with him tonight.
Eddie, that went a lot better than my first time on the radio.
I can tell you that.
So now we have my own daughter, Henry's very sister, Isabel.
Isabel, can you say something?
I call her Izzy.
Hello, my name is Isabelle.
I'm having a slumber party.
Hey, Isabelle, what is your, what do we read every night during October?
The Halloween book.
And what's your favorite story in the Halloween book?
The Goblin one.
I think you should tell your Bible verse first.
We have a Bible verse that she's been learning in homeschooling.
You are Matthew 5, 14.
You are the light of the world.
A city on the hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
Hey, can you has there been any better minutes spent than that one on the Saturday night?
But let's not forget that our good friend Kendall is here for the slumber party tonight, too.
That's right.
What a festive weekend.
Kendall, would you say hello to everybody around the world tonight?
Yes.
My name's Kendall, and I'm spending the night with my best friend, my first friend in the whole wide world, and her name is Isabel.
They did better than we do, Eddie.
We're going to have to give the show up to them.
They're a hell of a lot better than you are.
These are the most beautiful kids you can ever imagine.
I'm going to tell you what.
People, I'm looking right here in the room.
Sometimes we get down and discouraged, and I say, to heck with it all.
I'm going to chuck it.
But when you look at these precious, precious children, you think, how can you not fight?
I wish it was TV tonight, not radio.
Oh, my God.
You see how precious they are.
I'll tell you, I just love them so much.
Hey, tell them about the bonfire.
I'm sorry, Danny.
And my wife's here tonight, too.
She doesn't look too bad either.
Oh, my goodness.
You think I still look handsome?
After four, after how many years have we your face is a little red from the sun today, but I still have to.
Yeah, okay, that's because we're out of the corn maze.
I still think you're handsome.
Hey, tell them about the bonfire.
Peppy brought, hey, Pappy brought them some wood last week.
Oh, my goodness.
Pappy brought us this huge truckload.
He brought us, okay, okay.
He brought us this huge truckload of wood, and Henry helped him unload it.
Yeah, and got the robot.
We made this big bonfire.
We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.
And then James and I put the kids to bed, and the fire was still burning, and we had a glass of wine out there.
It was awesome.
I'm so thankful that you brought that over.
It was a really, really sweet night.
I would literally die for this family.
These children, you have to see them.
I wish y'all could see how beautiful they are.
They're surprised guests tonight.
We didn't know they were going to be coming here.
We thought they'd go straight home.
You know, and what they're doing to school, I'm totally amazed at what Danny's doing.
Yeah, this is totally a departure from what we were supposed to be talking about this segment.
But I walked in.
I know what you're going to say.
I walked in and I saw these maps.
I said, I haven't seen a map like that since I was seventh grade.
You don't see maps anymore.
People can't read maps.
But I go over this blank map of South America.
It's got all the countries on South America on this map, but they're not labeled.
And you know, and you know, Izzy comes in when they came into the studio tonight.
Izzy can go and put her finger and name every single country in the continent of South America.
I was amazed.
She did that for me when we were at home last week.
I said, I can't do that.
And these kids are so beautiful.
I can pick Brazil and Chile.
These are the most beautiful children you've ever seen her home.
I've been making her carry around this blank map of South America in her little flashcards, and she carries them in the car with her.
And she knows them all.
It works.
It's a great little car busybody thing.
And she knows all the territories in South America.
The kids are going to steal the show tonight if we don't get them out of here.
Danny, why don't you take them home?
Well, we'll be with you in about another.
I'm just going to say that you don't want me to stay.
I love them so much.
I want you to stay, baby.
Come on.
Say that you want me to leave.
I can't believe.
I cannot believe Henry's four.
It seems like this other day he was born.
I remember the day.
Eddie, you were at our wedding in 2006.
Eddie was at our wedding.
What was behind our altar at the wedding?
The Confederate battle flag, brother.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
And you know what?
That flag is a picture of that flag out of the world.
I have the Izzy.
Talking about our anniversary.
That flag, you posed with that flag at our 2015 event at Nathan Bridge Forest Park, and that was picked up at the AP, and it illustrated hundreds of stories, including stories that we weren't even a part of, but they just used the picture to illustrate stories about groups that we're not even affiliated with.
But nevertheless, children are so precious.
That picture of you with that flag that flew at our wedding was in hundreds of newspapers all the way hither, tither, and yon, all the way to the Philippines.
Didn't these kids do great tonight?
I tell you, this is the next generation of TPC.
We're in good hands.
When I die, it's going to be TPC is going to be, we're going to be celebrating the 100th anniversary of TPC one day.
They're going to be my grandchildren doing this show.
They're going to be smarter.
They're already smarter than it's incredible how fast they pick up.
Danny's done a marvelous job this home.
That's homeschooling.
That's homeschooling.
I tell you, I guarantee you, they're light years ahead of anybody in public schools.
All right, last segment.
Now, she came here to surprise me.
I didn't know you were coming here after the pumpkin carving.
I smell like a pumpkin.
You know, when you're cleaning out those pumpkins, and I did that just before I came here, I had to wash my hands.
You know, that's dirty business.
But how to do it all, so it's all over my shirt.
All right, well, take them home, clean up.
I'll see you when I get there.
You're kicking me out.
Well, the show must go on.
I guess we need to get back to business.
But is that the best segment of the night or what?
Ladies and gentlemen, the best segment of the month of the year.
We'll be right back.
Stay tuned.
The anniversary continues next.
If Planned Parenthood were what they publicly declare themselves to be, they would welcome transparency.
We all know why they hide because we know what they hide.
We can confirm federal judges who follow the Constitution rather than reverse engineer their preferred policy outcomes.
The truth about abortion is spreading because of advances in medical imaging, because of brave journalists, tireless activists, compassionate doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
The rising generation of young Americans is the most pro-life in decades because they know too.
And one day soon, we will reaffirm our nation's principles in their dignified fullness and avow once again that all men are created equal.
All are entitled to life.

And now back to tonight's show.
Hey, folks, if you haven't seen it, it's Halloween.
Watch Fright Night.
So that came out in the mid-80s.
I grew up on that movie.
That is still my all-time favorite horror movie.
So it's this campy little movie about the boy who cried wolf.
So this guy, this teenager, played by William Ragsdale.
He thinks his next-door neighbor is a vampire, and the vampire is played by Chris Sarandon.
And of course, as it turns out, he is a vampire in the movie, and everything that the boy alleges is true.
And he enlists the aid of this washed-up horror film actor played by Roddy McDowell to be the vampire slayer.
I love that movie.
I think one of the most underrated acting performances of all time is Roddy McDowell as Peter Vincent in Fright Night.
If you haven't seen Fright Night, watch it before Halloween.
I love the movie.
I got to admit, I love the movie.
Well, welcome back to the show, everybody.
What a show.
And even a few surprises.
I did not expect my wife to come in with the gaggle of children, but you never know what you're going to get here at the studio during a live show.
And so they came by on their way home from the pumpkin carving.
And wasn't that fantastic?
You know what?
If you have one ounce of humanity in your body, you would think God almighty that you could have been alive.
You know what?
I feel sorry.
I'm not being dramatic at all, people.
I cannot tell you how much I love kids.
I just love them.
I die for women and die for children.
But they had four of the most beautiful children in here you've ever seen.
I'm going to tell you what absolutely made my month.
And they asked to be on.
We didn't try to say, kids, kids, come on, come on, come over to the microphone.
Say something.
They were begging.
And I was like, no, I don't know if we should do that.
Please, please, please, please.
But they came.
You know what?
I'll tell you what, you can't buy this, people.
Kids, I'm telling you the flat truth.
Kids are attracted to me like a moth to a light.
They came and hugged my neck.
One kid, Adam, came to get me.
That's because you're Dr. Pappy.
Yeah, by my side the whole time.
Izzy comes and hugs me up.
Penry.
I mean, I just, God knows I love him.
And that's why we fight.
I mean, I know I keep going back to that.
And sometimes we get discouraged and want to quit.
I look at these kids and said, we've got to fight on people.
But it made my month.
Well, Eddie, there's been a lot of memories over the years.
Maybe we just made a new one tonight.
Maybe this will be a memory we remember on next year's anniversary show.
I've been on reality TV.
I've been on CNN.
I've been collaborating with Warner Brothers.
Jimmy Kimmel did a skit about us.
Howard Stern has mocked us.
Hundreds of newspapers, and I'm talking about the biggest Washington Post, New York Times, Time magazine, Newsweek.
We turn down 90% of the interview requests we receive, and we have still made more news than most.
And then there's the conferences, the conferences we've spoken at, the Council of Conservative Citizens, American Renaissance, National Policy Institute, but then our own conferences in 2010 and 2014.
What incredible events with such incredible people.
Our Confederate History Month series every year.
This is TPC.
And you know the people that we regularly feature, but that's not all that we feature.
We have had everyone on this show from Hollywood movie stars to Grammy-winning singers, Anthony Cumia, Hutton Gibson, Mel's father.
And I tell you what, that's a guy who never did back down.
In fact, he doubled down and came back on with us again and again.
He turned 100 years old last month.
Did you know that?
100 years old, and he's still with us, Hutton Gibson.
Sidney Leathers, who was Anthony or Anthony Wiener's paramour.
We've even had Victoria's Secrets models on this show and Martin Luther King's niece, Alvedo King, several governors, senators, and congressmen.
Now, we could have these novelty interviews every week, but we serve a higher calling.
And that calling is to our people and to the people who are making a difference to our people.
And those are the people that we feature on this show.
But I want to shout out very quickly to some members of our team.
We have been featuring tonight people on our team who are currently with us, but there are some members of our team who are no longer with us, people like Bill Rowland, who has passed on, and then others like Jess Bonds, Austin Farley, Jeff Melton.
I don't even include Sonny Landham in that lineup.
People who, you know, Sonny told me in 2015, before he passed away, he told me in 2015, he said, James, you are going to have an impact on the 2016 presidential election.
And I was like, yeah, right, Sonny, whatever.
I mean, whatever.
But wasn't he right?
He was right.
Pat Buchanan.
Pat Buchanan.
Without Pat Buchanan, we certainly wouldn't be here because I wouldn't have been here.
We've done live broadcasts, public speeches from the National Press Club.
We've been called the worst person in the world by Keith Oberman.
We've been mocked by people like Eli Roth, who plays the bear Jew in the film and Glorious Bastards.
Russell Moore has attacked me.
My own church has thrown my entire congregation out.
We've written a book, Racism, Schmazism.
We've been included in books.
Jerome Coursey included us in his book, Where's the Birth Certificate?
Eli Sasslow has included us in the book Rising Out of Hatred.
We are on hate lists.
Are we villains?
Are we heroes?
It depends on who's writing the history or the article.
But I tell you what, we'll take our standing by where our wives put us, where our children put us, and where our audience puts us.
And Eddie, you have been a part of this history for so many years.
In fact, my history with Eddie even predates the show itself.
Going back to 2002, when I ran for state representative, that's when Eddie and I first became known.
He became a co-host of the show shortly after its founding.
And Eddie, there's somebody running right now who you've had a confrontation with Marsha Blackburn, who's in a contentious Senate run versus Phil Bredison.
Do you remember that particular encounter?
Tell us very quickly.
Yes, I do.
I guess that's one of the highlights of the political suspicion career.
We were at a shooting range here in Memphis, Tennessee.
And Marsha Blackburn, United States sitting United States Congressman, was coming in there.
And she was coming to do a photo op trying to make political hay out of something she didn't do.
There was a firearms-carrying citizen.
He had his firearms permit.
He was carrying a pistol at a Kroger store, probably within four or five miles of the Crow Flask from where we're sitting in the studio.
And he stopped a bad guy in the parking lot.
Well, Marsha Blackburn came to, she came to the gun range when they had the Tennessee Firearms Association thugs there.
And they were all trying to make political hay.
And when Marsha, I still remember this.
I still remember what James said.
Well, see, I remember this.
This is years ago.
I mean, this had to be in the early years of the show itself.
Marsha Blackburn, see, this is United States Congresswoman or Congressperson, Marsha Blackburn, soon to be perhaps United States Senator Marcia Blackburn.
She's in a hot race with former Tennessee Governor Phil Betterson.
But you got in her face.
I mean, you were not five inches from her face.
And you were calling her everything but a child of God, and she never broke.
I mean, now you did get ejected from that particular meeting, and they escorted you out by the arm, but she never, that grin never washed from her face.
It's plastered.
I remember I said, you know what?
You're not this cute.
I said, you're not as young and cute as you used to be, but I still remember that.
But I told the people in the audience, I said, what you don't know is a Congressman Marshall Blackburn is a fanatical supporter of the United Nations.
I said, and the United Nations is the largest, most powerful gun control organization in the world.
And she's poor Sim C.
So this is in the face of a United States Congressman.
So they think that once you get elected to high office like that, you've got to bow and worship them.
But you treated her as you should treat a servant.
And that is, you work for me.
And this is the problem I have with you.
And you will answer to me.
But she never did.
She sat there.
I've never seen anything like it.
She sat there with this plastered smile and she never broke character all the way until Eddie was ejected from the room.
And you know what a memory that was.
Tennessee, our fire association of people came hunting for Pappy a week later, and James was, I didn't even know they were on the radio.
I know they were on the phone looking for me.
James wouldn't tell me that the show was over with.
I told him to come on out.
We've got stories for days, everybody.
We'll be right back.
Pursuing Liberty.
Using the Constitution as our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
Abby Johnson was once director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas.
After a moral crisis, she quit, and now she campaigns against what she once endorsed.
They implement abortion quotas in all of their clinics.
What do you mean, quotas?
You have to perform a certain number of abortions every month.
One of the reasons that I left.
Are they explicit about that?
Yes.
It's in your budget, right there on the line item.
One of the reasons I left Planned Parenthood was because in a budget meeting, I was told to double that abortion quota.
And for me, as someone who had spoken to the media and had said, you know, we're about reducing the number of abortions.
We're about, you know, prevention, all these other services, I was shocked.
So since you actually worked at a Planned Parenthood, give us some sense of the relative number of abortions.
Okay.
Abortions Planned Parenthood provides over 330,000 abortions a year.
They are the largest single abortion provider in our country.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James' Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
I love this time of year.
I don't know if I've said this 15 times yet or not tonight, but I do love this time of year.
Halloween, anniversary of the founding of the show, my son's birthday now, and everything else that it is, the changing of the seasons, moving into Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It's a great time of year, and we've had a lot of great years together, have we not?
And we were talking.
Eddie has been ejected out of quite a few meetings.
Now, there was the one meeting where we had with the Ron Paul Revolution back when Ron Paul was running.
You called one woman in there who said we shouldn't have a Ron Paul event at Nathan Bedford Forrest Grave.
You called her a purpled-haired, Satan-worshiping blankety blank.
And she did have purple hair, which was odd.
But nevertheless, Eddie, you also featured quite prominently in the Paul Babiu fiasco.
So Paul Babiu was the sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona.
Now, little did we know at the time that he was a homosexual, or we wouldn't have sullied the program with his presence, but he was actually the one who helped Congress denounce us.
And it became a big talking point between the John McCain and J.D. Hayworth senatorial race back at that time.
And both were denouncing one another to see who could denounce us the hardest.
I tell you what, we've got a lot of stories to tell.
But a guy who has been there for so many of those stories, even going back to The infancy of this broadcast is Art Frith.
Art Frith.
The Chief.
The Chief, the Lord.
And he's not a Chief.
He is the Chief.
Sitting Bull has nothing on Chief Art Frith.
And he was our producer in the early days.
He became our announcer.
You hear him every night in the breaks and in the bumps and in the intros and the outros.
It wasn't always as smooth as it is now, and Art can attest to that.
Back in those early days, Art, did you think we would make it 14 years?
U.S. Navy vet Art the Chief.
Go, Chief.
I can barely hear Chief, Sam.
Speak up.
I hear you faintly.
Okay, go now.
Go now, Chief.
Faintly, you still have to run the board?
Hey, hey, hey.
You're not the Lord anymore, and you don't have the board anymore.
Now we got you loud and clear.
You said, let's go back to the last commercials that Sam played.
He's played them both back-to-back.
Thank you.
And the brakes.
That's all I call in for.
So my part's over.
The rest of the show, I don't listen to.
This is the man who calls in only to hear himself during the commercials.
But I can respect that because on many nights, it is the best part of the show.
Hey, but Art, in all seriousness, those early days, now we're 14 years into this as of this weekend.
14 full years.
And you cracked the whip on me quite a lot.
I mean, you were pretty tough on me.
You gave me the nickname, Baby Boy BB.
I was in my early 20s at the time, and you were a hardened, grizzled radio veteran.
I mean, you had had this incredible career in radio with the Armed Forces Radio, and you'd been all over the world in radio.
And we would come in loosey-goosey, and you'd be tough on me.
Did you ever think in those days that we'd be talking 14 years?
You there?
Yeah, I'm here.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm here.
Can you hear me?
Now you're dropping out.
We can hear you.
I can hear you.
You can't hear us.
On Portugal, I can hear you.
Go, Chief.
Just start with the best.
I had to crack the whip to get you to quit passing notes to your then-girlfriend, Danny, in the studio.
Then let's see, what else on my hit list here?
Oh, yeah.
We used your restraining orders from Disney World and Frankie Valley to decorate those radio station walls.
This is true.
We actually did get kicked out of Universal Studios.
I'll have to pad little rat snakes on a sticky pad in the studio and close the door and make you talk with those guys in there.
That was the one that didn't get burned up in the transmitter.
Oh, yeah.
We had smaller ones that got caught in the bug traps.
Yeah, and you call it how do you get snake guts out of a transmitter?
Hey, Chief.
This papa deer here, fella.
Do you remember the night you were sitting at the board, you're the Lord of the board, and a snake, this is an absolute true story.
A snake came through the ceiling right over your head.
Oh, yeah.
That actually happened.
He saw people back in.
He scared the crap out of them.
Yeah, I scared him off.
I scared him away from Art.
He looked at me and went back up.
This is true, folks.
I remember there was one day we were there at 1380 and the air conditioner was out and it was in the dead of summer.
I thought, if I live to see the end of this show, that'll be one day that I didn't expect.
We had to go out during the commercial, but it was like 105 degrees Fahrenheit outside the studio, but we had to go out there to cool off.
It had to be 130 in that studio.
But what about Art?
I'm disappointed you kicked Danny and the Juniors out before because I was going to give Henry some advice.
You know, he better pray that he inherits Danny's hairline and not yours.
I'll tell you what, beautiful parents make beautiful babies.
And he got one half of that equation.
You got half of that right, Eddie.
Hey, but Chief, you, of course, you're still part of the show, and you're still part of the fabric.
You're still part of the foundation.
And you can still be heard absolutely every single episode we air.
I mean, you're our announcer now, but you were the producer and you ran the board and you brought the guests on and off.
So you set in for so many shows during those early years with only a minute or two remaining.
Your favorite of those interviews.
We had so many guests.
Let's see.
One scenario stole my thunder with Godfrey Dulius and Liberty.
So I'd have to go down to Jeff Bonds, Jess Bonds doing his live broadcast from the Shiloh Battlefield during Confederate History Month.
You know what?
I'll give Jess Bonds everlasting.
I'm so glad you brought that up, Art, because I'll give Jess everlasting credit for that.
That particular year, that was, I think, the last year we were on five nights a week.
And Jess packed that April with Confederate History Month guests.
And every night, that was actually 2007.
That was the month I was on CNN.
And so many times.
But Jess packed every show with a heavyweight Confederate history guest.
That was still to this day our best Confederate History Month series.
I know one of the, Chief, I know one of your favorite guests you told me at one time was Colonel James Bo Greitz, the Green Beret, most highly decorated Green Beret officer in history.
Yep.
You always liked him.
And we had to sit there, and every time he'd get through talking, we'd have to say over because he was talking on his radio.
Folks, you know what?
What memory I have with you, Art?
It was around this time of year, back years ago, before we were long in the tooth enough to have anniversary broadcasts while we were still cutting teeth.
I walked into the studio one night right before Halloween, and Chief was sitting in there in the producer's room wearing his Star Trek Halloween costume.
You remember that night?
Oh, yeah.
Had to keep you on your toes.
Probably.
Hey, you never failed.
The one show that was probably a hoot and a half was Sonny Langham doing his interview from his hospital bed just before going into surgery.
We never make it this far in an anniversary show without that being brought up.
So I'm glad you brought it up.
So this is Sonny Landham, star of Predator.
48 Hours.
He's doing a show.
He's about to go into surgery.
He's in the emergency room.
Tell the nurse to hold up.
And the nurse is trying to give him anesthesia.
Take him to surgery.
He said, I'm on a radio interview.
You're going to have to wait till I get done.
But that was Sonny.
I can't wait to see him again in heaven because that was a good man.
You're not going to give me that damn shot.
Get away from me.
He said something like that live on the radio.
And that's all in the archives.
And Art, you were there for so many of it.
I don't know, ladies and gentlemen, in all seriousness, I don't know if we'd be here today without Art because I could not have made it without the chief.
I came in those early months, that first year or two, and it was just funny.
We were having a good time.
When I still had hair.
Yeah, you actually had hair.
When I still actually had hair.
And Art said, look, if you want to make it, if you really want to be radio, this is how you got to do it.
And Art gave me tough love.
I mean, he really did.
I mean, this is a military guy.
All right.
He gave me tough love.
You know, we got to go.
Hey, but Art, thanks for calling in tonight.
We wouldn't be here without you.
I've said this for a couple of people tonight.
We love you.
We truly do.
Talk to you again soon.
All right, baby boy.
I'm almost 40, but I'm still baby boy to the chief.
We'll be right back.
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 machines.
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 thesovenews.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, hi, I'm Dave.
I'm seven years old.
I'm sitting here in the corner having a timeout until mom comes to talk to me.
All I did was cut my sister's hair.
I was just trying to help.
I guess mom didn't like how I did it.
In a minute, she'll be back and ask me if I know what I did.
It was wrong.
Maybe I shouldn't have cut her hair.
And she'll say we all make mistakes because we're just learning about stuff.
And she'll give me a hug and want to talk about more stuff.
No matter what you talk to your kids about, love is what they'll hear.
I really like mom's timeouts.
And I think she likes them too.
Yeah, I think they help her remember how much she loves me.
A thought from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Visit us at mormon.org.
Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens?
Can a country founded on God-given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our Creator?
As a physician, I have looked into the eyes of one-pound babies.
I have cradled their small bodies in the palm of one hand.
I defy those who are careless, who would disregard life and look at these tiny little miracles and say, we're not going to protect that.
But I believe there will come a time when we are all judged on whether or not we took a stand in defense of all life from the moment of conception until our last natural breath.
One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James' Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
He did the monster match, it was a graveyard smack, it caught on in a flash.
He did the mash!
He did the monster match from my love retorium, the castle east.
What a great song.
What a great holiday.
Happy Halloween, everybody.
One segment left tonight.
These last three hours have gone like the last 14 years have gone far too quickly.
But we're happy to be with you tonight.
And I think, you know, trying to remember 14 years in three hours is not realistic.
But it's plain to see that TPC is the only mainstream radio show that takes you behind the scenes to the most important events and welcomes to the broadcast on a weekly basis.
High quality guests whose message would be hushed up or otherwise distorted by the establishment media.
We have been in hundreds, hundreds of newspapers and magazines over the years garnering us a worldwide audience.
But I tell you what, folks, I wouldn't trade any of that for a few minutes with you.
We've name-dropped a lot of people tonight, but there's one more that I would like to mention, and that's David Duke.
David Duke gave me an opportunity to come speak at his 2004 Euro conference, just a few months, in fact, before TPC first debuted in October of 04.
And we met a lot of people at that event that are still friends of ours to this day.
And, of course, David is still a very good friend of mine.
We spent a lot of time with David.
All right, hang on a second.
We need.
We need you, Eddie, to call Sam and give him Jack's number.
So I'm going to pull up Jack's number.
No big deal.
No big deal.
Hang on.
This is troubleshooting on the fly.
We're going to get to Jack.
So call Sam and give him that number.
And I'll hold court until you do that.
But yes, indeed.
David Duke, that's a man who needs to be mentioned tonight.
We've name-dropped a lot of people who have played significant roles in the cultivation of this program.
And I see that David has made mention of a tweet that we put out tonight on our anniversary.
He is a good friend.
I spent a lot of time with David, obviously on the air, off-the-air conferences, behind the scenes, and in his home, in my home.
And he's just a part of it.
I mean, but there's so many people who have been part of it.
There's so many people who have passed away that have been part of it.
And obviously, we honor Bill Rowland tonight, and we honor those who are still fighting.
We are a family.
We are a family through thick and thin.
We are a family now.
We were a family 14 years ago.
We'll be a family for however much longer it lasts.
But folks, remember, it lasts only because we are a listener-supported broadcast.
We are PBS for white people.
And if you want to have a TPC anniversary mug commemorating our 14th year on the air, $50 or more between now and Monday morning is just an event for this weekend only, a supplemental endeavor to our quarterly fundraising drives.
$50 or more between now and Monday morning.
You got to get it in before Sunday night at midnight.
$50 or more, you're going to get this nice mug.
Eddie, you've drank out of these mugs.
Very quickly, before we go to jail.
Every single day.
Does coffee hound, son?
Does coffee taste hotter?
Does tea taste sweeter out of these mugs?
Am I lying?
I'll tell you what.
I love looking at them, and they do.
They're thick, and they do keep the coffee hot.
Anybody knows the Bombardier knows I love my coffee?
Matter of fact, they say, why, Pappy, how do you drink coffee right before you run the marathon?
I'll say the same way of drinking at mile 14, mile 16, where they have it.
But yes, it is one hell of a mug.
What's it do to the Evan Williams?
I'll tell you what.
Not that you would know.
Well, I haven't.
If you prefer Evan over Jack, I do.
I like Evan Williams.
Jack was a Tennessean.
I was born in Kentucky.
So I had to be constantly.
You know, I had to be loyal to Kentucky.
Evan Williams, Kentucky.
All right.
Well, there you have it.
What's that mug do to the Evan?
Makes it hit twice as hard, twice as hard.
Yeah, the mug.
The mugs supernatural powers, especially when the Bombardier touches the sun.
It's been blessed.
Hey, for $50 or more, as the Bombardier attests, your alcohol can have twice as much potency.
That's right, especially when it's been blessed by the Mormon Pope, aka Sam Bushman.
Hey, don't come into no alcohol drinking.
No, Sam knows I'm, you know what?
You can't take me with a grain of salt.
You've got to take me with 150 pounds of salt.
All right, we're going to put you in the salt mines because we've got to go to Jack.
I'll tell you what, I cannot believe it, ladies and gentlemen.
We had nine people to bring on the air tonight, and all nine of them were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there.
Because Sam's a genius, man.
I tell you what, Sam runs it like none other.
That includes yours truly, Keith Alexander, Sam Bushman, Scoop Stanton, Winston Smith, Sean Bergen, Jim Lancia.
Of course, I did the Bombardier Miller, Art Frith, who you just heard from, the Lord of the Board, the Chief, and now Jack Ryan.
Nine for nine.
We have hit it out of the park.
100%.
Jack, how are you, brother?
I'm doing okay this evening.
How are you doing?
Well, we're doing good.
It's 14 years on the air.
What were you doing 14 years ago?
Time flies when you get over to 28.
When I graduated high school and left Chicago to go to the South to go to college, I did so many things in the first 10 years.
I got a BA from Vanderbilt.
I went to New York City.
I was a public school teacher.
I got an MBA.
I moved eight times in 10 years.
But after that, just time just flew by.
I've been awoke.
I've been red-pilled, black-pilled since about 1990.
I've been active going in there, but time just flies when you get in there.
And so that's what I've been doing.
Well, thankfully, Jack, for the last year, you have been part of our broadcast.
Now, of course, I have known you and you have known me for years before that.
But when you were at our anniversary event last year, during which we actually had a full-fledged conference, a live event for the occasion, we really struck it up.
And shortly thereafter, you became a part of our regular crew.
And you have been there now for a full solid year.
And the show has been better because of that.
So looking back on now, you, I guess, would be, of all the people we featured tonight, would be our newest member of the crew.
But looking back even now on a full year, what are some of your favorite memories?
And what would be some of the things you would like to see TPC accomplish and endeavor to achieve going forward?
Well, it's been just an honor to be a part of TPC's sort of family.
Ever see the Andy Griffith show where this stranger gets off a bus and he knows everyone and starts talking like, who is this guy?
And he's from New York.
He's not from New York City, New York State, but he's called The Stranger.
But that's sort of like me.
And I'm a rather, I'm looking for a family.
I want to be a part of some good people that are just good, that are good people and are people.
And I think that's what TPC sort of is to me.
We're good people, but we're also intelligent, bright, well-read.
We're not stupid people.
We're not just some idiots that watch TV or react to some propaganda to some stupid war against the Serbs or the Saddam Hussein as Hitler.
We're intelligent people, we're good people, we're part of a family.
And we're looking to just try to live and try to be nice to our kinfolk and promote not just good politics, but good culture, good music, good humor, and try to live a good life.
It's been great.
It's really one of the best things I've ever done in my life.
I'm really honored to be a part of the TPC family.
Well, we're honored to have you.
And of course, Jack always, with the exception of tonight, comes in armed with his song of the week, his book of the week, his film of the week that he recommends to you, along with a theme of the week.
And Jack so dutifully puts that program together for you during his segment each and every Saturday night.
And I actually had a listener in California, Jack, who wrote me two or three days ago asking if we could get the definitive list of Jack Ryan's recommendations.
He wanted to go back and take them all in.
So people do listen to this and people do take heed to this.
And of course, that's why we have you on.
I think you really do add, Jack, an element to the show that was lacking otherwise.
You give us, we will never call you a Yankee.
We will call you a bad business.
You call me that once.
It was mean.
It was hateful.
It was hate speech.
That's what it was.
It was hate speech to call me that.
But yeah, I'd love to publish, but I'd like Barbara, you know, I'd like to publish a book on my book recommendations.
But I hope someone will like buy the book instead of too much conservative stuff.
They always expect you to give everything away for free.
We spend all kinds of money on bad movies and things like that.
So we should try to get our people just to give some compensation for a book or some things like that.
So yeah, I'd be happy to publish my book and movie recommendations if the listeners would support it and buy it.
We got to go back and do the research and cobble them all together.
But I'll tell you this: 14 years, another show in the books now.
So many guests, so many memories.
Impossible to recount in a single show.
But Jack, with only seconds remaining, the 14th year begins next week for us now.
So this week we took a pause.
We looked back.
It wasn't your standard show.
Going back next week, it's business as usual.
Where do you want to see us go going forward?
10 seconds.
Go, Jack.
Keep up the great work, but maybe I don't work to do.
Try to help me find this other side.
That's something good that we could do.
Come on, let's procreate.
We've got to get Jack married.
There is a member of the TPC family who is not married and he is eligible and he's good looking and a TPC.
